There is something in the American character that loves the underdog.

It may be that we cheer for them because we are hoping against all odds that they will succeed in spite of the fact that they don’t have the same advantage as the stronger contestant. The longer the odds, the less likely the underdog would ever come out on top, the more we celebrate when they do.

And so, this “recovering sports illiterate” was cheering when the Leicester City Football Club won the British Premier League recently. They had come from the very bottom of the football (soccer) pile and, against all odds, blew past the celebrity teams to achieve victory. Suddenly a city the name of which Americans struggled even to pronounce (it sounds like “Lester”) was being talked about all over. A day or two after the league victory, I drove through Bartlett and was startled to see a sign above the Sunrise Shack restaurant saying “Congrats Leicester City.” For me personally, who lived in Leicester for 10 years (and never attended a match there, by the way), this was a real breakthrough.

Of course, with underdogs who win, there must be some explanation. Some speculate it was their masterful Italian coach; others said it was the key players.

Some even reached back to King Richard III, whose bones had not long before been discovered under a parking lot in Leicester’s old Roman part of town. The King’s karma must be the reason.

Regardless of whether the term “underdog” comes from dog-fighting matches or, as some suggest, from the relative position of the carpenters laying the keel of a ship, it’s the very unlikeliness of the outcome that grabs our attention. We like to see the bookmakers proven wrong.

Today’s New York Times poll is a snapshot of the progress of two underdogs: Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Turn the clock back several months and neither would have been given a hope considering the formidable opponents each seemed to be challenging. The contest is far from over, but the characteristics of scrappiness, determination and impudent boldness are all in evidence. What remains to be seen will be the perception of each at the final round of their respective national conventions. But what is curious about all of this is that while success may be celebrated, in the end, the sportsmanship with which the game was played always remains a critical concern.

NEWS & NOTES Gun guidelines

In the wake of the shooting of two police officers in Manchester, the state is wrestling with guidelines meant to keep firearms out of the hands of the dangerously mentally ill. The Union Leader reported that the man who allegedly shot police, Ian MacPherson, purchased his gun legally at Chester Arms in Derry on April 1. This is despite the fact that MacPherson was diagnosed with schizophrenia and has frequented psychiatric hospitals for years, his family told the Union Leader.

New Hampshire is the only New England state to not submit a list of names of people considered dangerously mentally ill to the FBI database used for background checks during legitimate guns sales.

Plus, current state guidelines would not have included MacPherson in such a list because he has not been committed at a psychiatric hospital for a minimum of 10 days. His father, Russell MacPherson, told the UL his stays were generally three to five days, and when he was discharged last from New Hampshire Hospital, administrators said he was being discharged early because they had limited beds. Gov. Maggie Hassan responded to the news of MacPherson’s ease of acquiring a gun by saying the state needs to do a better job of ensuring people who shouldn’t have guns don’t get them, NHPR reported.

Elliot and DHMC

The day after it was announced Elliot Health System CEO Jim Woodward is leaving the organization in July, Elliot officials confirmed the hospital is resuming talks with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health for a merger. The Union Leader reported that under the deal, which may conclude in weeks or months, Elliot would become part of the Dartmouth system and Dartmouth would have control over financial and strategic decisionmaking. Elliot would maintain an independent board. The hospital’s pediatric intensive care unit closed May 20 due to low patient volume.

Woodward said he was taking a job as CEO of a Pennsylvania hospital so he could be closer to family.

Last November, he said the Elliot needed to pay $350 million for a building overhaul but couldn’t afford it independently.

Cleanup money

The state is getting a boost from federal environmental regulators through $800,000 in grants.

The Concord Monitor reported the Brownfields grants awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency are used to clean up old industrial sites. The money will be split halfway between the Upper Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission and the Lakes Region Planning Commission. It’s meant to be used to assess and remedy contaminated areas, redevelop properties and boost the economy while protecting public health.

The funds come from the EPA’s Brownfields Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund and Cleanup grant program.

Jail medicine

In the wake of a report of medical negligence that required the emergency suspension of the doctor overseeing medical care at the Hillsborough County House of Corrections in Manchester, the county is now paying four times as much for the physician who has replaced the doctor. The Union Leader reported the county contracted with Institutional Medical Group and will pay the organization $26,250 each month. Dr. Matthew Masewic, the doctor who was suspended last month amid allegations of substandard care, was getting paid $6,520 as an independent contractor. Corrections Superintendent David Dionne says the county was at a disadvantage in negotiating the price because Institutional Medical Group was the only contractor to submit a bid.

san’s desk to be signed, Democrats voted against the bill, saying they wanted to study the issue further.

More than 400 people rallied at Rollins Park in Concord on May 21 to raise awareness about opioid addiction, the Concord Monitor reported. About 500 Narcan kits were made available and 135 were trained to use them during the event.

More PFOA

The list of locations contaminated with possible carcinogens known as PFOAs is expanding as federal regulators set health advisories. NHPR reported state health officials found PFOA in an old Merrimack landfill, suggesting the chemical is more widespread than previously thought. But officials say there’s no evidence yet that the landfill contaminated any nearby wells.

The chemical has been found in more than 50 private wells near a plastics plant in Merrimack and in nearly a dozen private wells near a former manufacturing plant in Amherst. Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency released its long-awaited guidelines for PFOA exposure, setting the limit at 70 parts per trillion. Since many New Hampshire wells contain that much or more, environmental regulators have started an emergency rulemaking process that will give the state more enforcement power in dealing with contaminators.

CONCORD

A new sculpture was unveiled at the New Hampshire Holocaust Memorial in Hooksett Nashua. The Telegraph of Nashua reported the 5-ton granite sculpture is based on a photograph of aGoffstown girl in a white dress that memorial founder Fred Teeboom found last year.

In an effort to curb smuggling at state prisons and jails, the Senate passed a bill that would install body scanners at state and county corrections facilities.

Three scanners would be installed at the men’s prison in Concord, two in Berlin and one in the women’s prison that is not yet completed. While the bill heads to Gov. Maggie Has-

KOREAN DOGS

Five dogs rescued from a dog meat farm in South Korea are heading to new homes in New Hampshire soon. The Union Leader reported the dogs are being cared for by the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and at least two will be up for adoption in the next couple of weeks. The dogs were part of a group of about 250 dogs and puppies raised for slaughter and rescued by the Humane Society International. It’s the first time the SPCA has been involved in a case like this. The five dogs have been in New Hampshire since May 9 and they range in age from 1 to 3 years.

DRIVEWAY OWNERS

A Manchester family was surprised when they returned home to find their asphalt driveway had apparently been stolen while they were away for only a matter of hours. The Union Leader reported that police, after Rick Wyman and his wife Karen reported the stolen driveway, soon discovered the American Asphalt company had removed the driveway from the wrong address. The Hooksett company told police it was an honest mistake as they were supposed to remove the driveway from the home next door to the Wyman’s on Highview Terrace. Company representatives promised to replace the driveway the next day at no cost.

Mental health cliff

New Hampshire is losing the psychiatrist talent war amid a national shortage

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Every week, Peter Evers wonders if one or more of his psychiatric staff will get stolen by a medical facility offering better pay and benefits.

“In some ways there’s a talent war,” Evers said. “Our medical director says he probably gets 20 offers of employment a week unsolicited through email and snail mail. The system is desperate for psychiatry.”

And Evers, the CEO of Riverbend Community Mental Health in Concord, says he’s not alone.

Hospitals and clinics are struggling to hire new psychiatrists as old doctors in the field retire, demand for their services grows and most newly minted psychiatrists choose to put down roots in cities like Boston rather than the Granite State.

Experts say this will negatively affect the quality of and access to care for New Hampshire residents with mental illness, a group that advocates say is already underserved, helped too late and forced to wait for beds.

“I don’t want to be doom and gloom, but 15 years ago, New Hampshire was known as one of the best community mental health systems in the country. Now, it’s in the bottom three,” Evers said. “That is a direct result of neglect of the system post-2008, when we had the financial crisis.”

Early signs

The problem may be coming to a head as potential pay cuts for psychiatrists at the state’s mental hospital could trigger an exodus to places willing to pay higher rates, while other hospitals’ inpatient psychiatric wings are closing because they can’t recruit or retain psychiatrists, and a majority of psychiatrists are nearing retirement in the coming years.

The government has taken note. On April 29, Gov. Maggie Hassan issued an execu-

tive order creating a commission to study the medical workforce shortage and make recommendations for improving recruitment methods, pay structures, regulatory burdens and more.

That announcement came days before Cheshire Medical Center/Dartmouth-Hitchcock Keene released a statement saying it would be closing its inpatient Adolescent and Adult Mental Health Unit, affecting 33 jobs. The reason? After at least three years of recruitment efforts aided by national search firms, Dartmouth-Hitchcock recruiters and local agencies, Cheshire failed to fill vacant psychiatric staff positions.

“A national shortage of psychiatrists has negatively impacted these efforts,” the statement read.

Cheshire only needed two psychiatrists to keep it open besides on-call psychiatrists from the community to cover nights and weekends.

“We deeply regret that it has come to our being forced to close the unit, but we have exhausted every option available to maintain inpatient services,” Cheshire’s CEO Don Caruso said in the press release.

Over the past decade, inpatient psychiatric units at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester and St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua have also closed due to staffing challenges.

Meanwhile, Dartmouth College is planning to lay off its psychiatric staff (including those contracted to work at New Hampshire Hospital, the state-run mental hospital), and most of that staff will receive offers to be employed by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center as part of a planned transition.

College spokesperson Justin Anderson says the move is part of a larger effort to fix a structural deficit in the medical school and to adopt the model already used by most other major medical schools, which use faculty employed by the affiliated hospital rather than the school.

But Matthew Davis, a psychiatrist at New Hampshire Hospital, says the hospital is

al degrees or licensed clinical social workers, but they do supervise medical treatment, both directly and indirectly.

Lisa Mistler, the president of the New Hampshire Psychiatric Society and a psychiatrist at New Hampshire Hospital, says a worsening shortage of psychiatrists here will mean the most vulnerable populations will get less access to quality care.

“People with serious and persistent mental illness, people with schizophrenia, people with bipolar disorder, people with major depressive disorder, folks who are requiring a lot of ongoing care, those are the folks who are going to lose out on the quality of care if they’re unable to access psychiatrists,” Mistler said.

The population New Hampshire Hospital cares for represents the most severe and most persistent illnesses, and there’s already a waiting list to get in.

“If there are fewer psychiatrists in the community, that list could get bigger,” Mistler said.

Bill Rider, the president of the Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester, says psychiatrists are crucial for providing a knowledge base for everyone on the team at a mental health institution.

“To be woefully short of the individuals such as psychiatrists and other specialty physicians puts the community at a disadvantage in terms of attaining top mental health,” Rider said.

In the worst-case scenario, a patient could be misdiagnosed or given the wrong prescription. That’s assuming a person gets treated in the first place.

“Right now, what we’re concerned about is the quality… and availability,” Rider said. “I think access will be a big issue.”

How did things get this bad? In short, the Symptoms med schools aren’t graduating enough psyPsychiatrists are fully trained medical docchiatry students. tors and are the top of the mental health food chain. They rarely provide the kind of one-onone talk therapy provided by psychologists Diagnosis The industry has long known of a 8 with Ph.D.s, psychoanalysts with profession-

offering lower compensation packages even though they already work for pay that’s below the market rate. Davis, who is organizing a collective bargaining unit in an effort to get a seat at the table during contract negotiations between the DHMC and the state, says the new proposed packages have some folks losing out on bonuses and vested retirement contributions, while contributions and time off will be reduced overall.

He thinks if these cuts go through, it may mean a significant loss in psychiatric staff.

“At the end of the day we could all take jobs that pay far more than we get paid now,” Davis said. “We all talk about how often we get called by recruiters or emailed by recruiters.”

The average salary for psychiatrists in the Northeast is the lowest in the country at $215,000 compared to $226,000 nationwide and as much as $243,000 on the West Coast, according to the Medscape Psychiatrist Compensation Report 2016.

While Davis stresses he and others would never neglect their duties and that they all want to stay there, Davis says the doctors also can’t neglect their massive student loans.

Ultimately, he worries about how the patients will be affected by all of this.

“If people start to leave here, it’s going to go from a crisis to a catastrophe, I think, pretty quickly,” Davis said.

While it’s still unclear how the contract negotiations will play out, William Torrey, the vice chair of clinical services at Dartmouth’s department of psychiatry, says he’s confident psychiatrists employed by the hospital will see compensation rise to market rate levels over the next year.

6 severe shortage in psychiatrists and other medical professionals nationwide: • As the U.S. population grew by 37 percent from 1995 to 2013, the number of psychiatrists grew by 12 percent, according to the American Medical Association.

• There are 143 psychiatrists active in New Hampshire, a rate of 10.8 per 100,000 compared to a national rate of 12.4, according to a 2015 white paper by consulting firm Merritt Hawkins titled Psychiatry: “The Silent Shortage.” That’s one psychiatrist for 10,000 residents.

• About 1,037 med school residents in psychiatry were entering their fourth year for the 2013-2014 year, according to the APA resident census.

• About 6 out of about 80 Dartmouth College med school students are currently pursuing psychiatry, according to the medical director of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock psychiatric department.

• Merritt Hawkins projects about 6,000 new psychiatrists will graduate med school over the next four years while about 12,500 psychiatrists (nearly 60 percent) are already 55 or older, suggesting more will retire than enter the field in the near future.

Mistler says one thing that may explain why there are so few psychiatrists entering the healthcare industry, besides lower pay, is the stigma attached to mental illness and even the field of study of mental health.

“Psychiatry is always considered kind of the stepchild of medicine and psychiatrists can be kind of the butt of jokes even in medical schools — like, ‘Didn’t you want to be a real doctor?’” Mistler said.

Granite State problems

Those working in the industry locally say the problem is more pronounced in New Hampshire because of its aging demographics, rural character, geography and relatively low pay for psychiatrists in the region compared to other parts of the country.

And the timing couldn’t be worse, as the state is trying to build up its mental health infrastructure both in response to the substance abuse epidemic and to comply with the terms of a 2014 class action settlement.

Several people reported that child psychiatry has the greatest dearth and has struggled for some time, while geriatric psychiatry is the second greatest need.

Folks like Torrey agree.

“Child psychiatrists have been harder to recruit for some time,” Torrey said.

About 14 percent of the roughly 6,000 psychiatry residents from 2013 to 2014 were in the child and adolescent specialty nationwide. But it’s only been within the last 10 years or so that Torrey’s noticed difficulty recruiting general psychiatrists for adults.

“We have an approaching crisis, if we’re not in a crisis right now,” Evers said.

An aging population means a likely larger percentage of psychiatrists are older here than the national average, hastening the dropoff of providers caused by retirement, but Evers and others say that with old age comes an increased likelihood of mental illness, either caused by old age or detected late in life. That means a growing demand in the state.

New Hampshire is already struggling to keep up with existing demand because of an ongoing brain-drain.

Evers says young med school graduates will often gravitate toward major cities for their residency and careers.

“They tend to stay around metropolitan, urban areas with big teaching schools. So, New York, Boston, Seattle, Chicago, L.A., those kinds of places,” Evers said. “There’s a state to the south of us that pulls much of our talent away and that’s not unique to behavioral health.”

Cities have high concentrations of psychiatrists who can act as a consultative and career support network, plus there’s more competitive pay, jobs, academic resources, options for spouses developing their careers

and a lifestyle more attractive to younger people.

And while the shortage is felt even in New Hampshire’s most urban areas, it hits the rural north the hardest because everything is more spread out, making access more difficult.

Treatment plan

When there is a shortage of something in the marketplace, the law of supply and demand usually kicks in to correct the imbalance. In the case of psychiatrists, the need for them far outweighs their availability nationwide, but wages aren’t going up as much as needed.

One thing that local psychiatrists and mental health institutions repeatedly point to is the fact that psychiatrists are not moneymakers for the hospitals and clinics that employ them. If anything, they represent a net loss, financially. That’s because unlike doctors who perform surgeries, CAT scans or other expensive, one-time procedures with significant reimbursements, mental health doctors treat patients with prescription medications over a long period of time, often in tandem with therapy.

And while a growing consensus around the need for mental health services is a positive step, the industry hasn’t really figured out a way to make sure it pays for itself and subsequently allow for psychiatrist wages to rise during times of disproportionate demand.

Meanwhile, there are fewer incentives for future doctors to get into psychiatry because of growing pressure to see more patients and see them less frequently, all while dealing with a mounting pile of paperwork. The “regulatory creep,” as Rider puts it, created by government bureaucracies, redundant middlemen and software programs meant to make things easier, has, for many psychiatrists, become an outsized share of their workload.

So, potential psychiatrists look at all this and see a diminished return on their med

school investment.

To solve the shortage problem, Rider and others say the state and federal government need to ease up on the regulatory burden, find a way to raise wages and enforce parity laws so insurance companies fairly reimburse for mental health treatment. Another possible solution is student debt forgiveness for psychiatrists. Bills have been floated in Congress and states like Texas have implemented programs that would help pay off student loans if psychiatrists work in underserved areas. Rider says if New Hampshire funded such a program, it would create a huge incentive for mental health docs to set up in the Granite State, even at lower rates of pay.

Meanwhile, until the shortage is resolved, institutions are leaning more heavily on specialized nurse practitioners, telepsychiatry and, in the worst cases, locum tenens, which are transient physicians who temporarily fill key vacancies.

Cheshire Medical Center has been keeping its psychiatric unit in operation these past few years by paying locum tenens, which is too expensive to do indefinitely.

“To get locum tenens, which is the sort of rent-a-doc kind of idea, will cost you three times as much as hiring a psychiatrist. So, that’s a bit of a deathknell to your bottom line,” said Peter Evers of Riverbend.

But there are already some glimmers of light at the end of the tunnel. William Torrey at Dartmouth says more students are getting interested in psychiatry as the mental health stigma gives ground to better understanding of the problem and emerging neuroscience.

Still, there is a significant lag time before the industry feels that shift.

And, as the community mental health network in the state continues to implement its mobile crisis units and proactive “Assertive Community Treatment” teams, less severe cases will be caught in the early stages before they get worse. That, experts say, will nip some of the future demand in the bud.

STAFFING NEEDS* Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester: Has 4.5 psychiatrists and 11 nurse practitioners on staff. Needs to hire 2 more psychiatrists. All the psychiatrists are aged 50 to 65. Last at full capacity in 2014, but only for three months. About 20 years ago, had 10 or 11 psychiatrists and three NPs. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center: Has 18 full- and part-time clinical psychiatrists (not counting the department chair). The department has actually grown over the years due to educational role and increased demand.

New Hampshire Hospital: Staffed by Dartmouth psychiatrists; there are about 17 on staff right now. It needs one child psychiatrist and will lose one adult psychiatrist in July. It’s maintained at least one vacancy if not more over recent years. Qualified administrative staff have been helping with frontline caseloads.

HIPPO | MAY 26 - JUNE 1, 2016 | PAGE 8

Catholic Medical Center: Closed its inpatient psychiatric unit about eight to 10 years ago. Currently, it has two full-time psychiatrists and one part-time psychiatrist for outpatient services, but one is expected to retire soon. CMC expects to have difficulty replacing that doctor. Staffing levels didn’t change after the unit closed since the two psychiatrists who worked in the unit also did outpatient services. They hope to strengthen mental health services with a recently hired psychiatric nurse practitioner and three therapists. It took seven months to fill the most recent therapist position and they expect it will take a while to hire an eventual fourth therapist.

Riverbend Community Mental Health/ Concord Hospital: Riverbend is contracted to staff all of Concord Hospital’s psychiatrists for its inpatient unit and consulting for the medical unit. It currently enjoys a full stable of nine

psychiatrists and they are supported by seven psychiatric nurse practitioners. That includes two full-time child psychiatrists and one full-time NP specializing in child psychiatry.

Riverbend had been down by three psychiatrists in recent years and had to hire locum tenens. The average age for Riverbend’s psychiatrists is 58.

St. Joseph Hospital: There is no psychiatric unit at the Nashua hospital since its Senior Adult Mental Health Unit closed in 2012 due to difficulty recruiting for coverage. It had one psychiatrist at the time and there are none currently employed but St. Joseph still uses local providers as consultants and began using telepsychiatry in September 2015.

Elliot Hospital: Elliot’s behavioral health department currently employs three full-time psychiatrists and two on-call independent contractors paid per-diem. The Manchester

hospital would prefer to have five psychiatrists and it’s been trying to fill two vacancies for more than a year, though the organization is starting to reassess the community’s mental health needs.

Cheshire Medical Center/DartmouthHitchcock Keene: Closing its inpatient psychiatric unit effective July 1. The unit required two full-time psychiatrists and oncall psychiatric coverage for nights and weekends to treat a total of 12 adult and six adolescent voluntary patients. CMC/DHK has been employing locum tenens while trying to recruit over the past three years.

New fire chief

Newest head of the Manchester Fire Dept.

Daniel Goonan of Manchester is the newest chief for the Manchester Fire Department, sworn in after longtime Chief James Burkush retired. He was deputy and assistant chief for about eight years before getting promoted.

Where do you come from, and what experience do you bring to the job?

I’m from Manchester. I went to Memorial High School; I graduated in 1981.

I’ve been with the department 32 years, [I’m] married, I have three kids. One’s 28 and I’ve got 5-year-old twins. … My dad was a retired police officer from Manchester. I ended up in the fire service in 1984 until now. I kind of came up through the ranks. … I originally started in college in the University of [Massachusetts] Lowell [and] I ended up finishing my degree at Granite State College with a ... bachelor of science in individualized studies in public safety administration. … I finished that in 2011, so it only took me like 30 years, but I got it done. … I’m a townie. I’ve lived in Manchester my whole life. … My wife… she was a firefighter out of Tucson, Arizona.

She was a captain down there. Now, she’s just graduated [to become a] nurse practitioner.

What’s something interesting about you that isn’t on your resume?

I played baseball in college, at UMass Lowell. I guess that was what I went down to UMass Lowell for. … I’ve always been involved in sports. I was really big into softball. Did a lot of traveling [for] softball all over the country in my younger years.

all-hazards department. I think that’s the future of the fire service, and I think if you don’t change you’re going to be irrelevant. … As things become more technical and more automated Chief Daniel Goonan and sprinkler systems become more of the norm, we’re going to be a changing organization and we’re going to have to change with the times. We do 75 percent medical [services], and I think [we] really need to be geared toward that.

These days there seem to be fewer fires and more overdoses. Do you see the role of firefighters changing in the Queen City?

It’s the trend across the country that fires are becoming less prevalent. … Our city is becoming older and poorer and medical calls are going to go up, but you can’t really disregard the fact that we’re still an old mill city and we have a lot of three-deckers and we still have a fair amount of fires. So we can’t disregard that, so we have to maintain our readiness for that, and I think we really have to expand into the future and start looking at some other things like how we can [play] a bigger role in the emergency medical field. … [The new Safe Stations program for addicts] has been really successful and we’ve gained some notoriety throughout the state. I believe this is probably going to go statewide. The New Hampshire Board of EMS is really on board and we’ve gotten calls from around the country. We got a call from [someone in] Delray Beach, Florida, who’s really interested in the program.

For folks in the city just getting to know you, what’s the first thing you would like them to know?

I’m passionate about this job. I’m passionate about the city of Manchester and the fire department. I really want to move things in a positive direction here … to leave this organization better than when I came into it. I think we did a great job with Chief Burkush. I was essentially his No. 2 for eight years. I think Will you work to increase station staffwe did a lot of moving this department forward, kind of pushing toward the future. ing since the union says it’s dangerously low right now?

Do you have any plans to make changes Over the last eight years, we’ve had to in the department? deal with a lot of budget issues. … It would This department’s going to be a lot more always be better to have more firefighters on geared toward community paramedicine, but we understand it probably won’t hapemergency medical services, emergency man- pen. My biggest thing, I would like, if I could agement [so, we] can become more of like an make one move right now, it would probably be to have a full-time ladder truck on the West Five favorites Side. Right now, we do a lot of cross staffing.

Favorite Book: The Green Mile by Ste… We do need a few more people to staff that phen King truck. How we get there is up for debate. …

Favorite Movie: Rocky That would mean we would need two extra Favorite Musician: Luke Bryan people per shift, which is eight. That would Favorite Food: Italian be if we staffed that tomorrow.

In the first statewide oral health report since 2010, health officials say that while socioeconomic disparities still exist, the situation is improving overall. According to a press release from the state Department of Health and Human Services, the rate of untreated cavities decreased by 62 percent among third-grade students between the school years ending in 2001 and 2014. Third-graders experiencing cavities decreased by 32 percent, and 33 percent more were treated with protective sealants that ward off the bacteria that cause cavities.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: While the overall rate of cavities among third-graders was 35 percent in 2014, it was 53 percent in schools where more than half of the students qualify for the free or reduced lunch program.

Experts warn that this year’s tick season is upon us and may be worsened by a relatively mild winter. NHPR reported that last winter was likely too warm and too dry to give resident mammals a helping hand at cutting down the tick population, which has swelled in recent years.

The blood-sucking insects prefer humid and shaded areas, and as some land once used for logging has grown back — lending New Hampshire 84 percent forest cover — and as invasive plants like the Japanese barberry give ticks a safe haven, winter’s key role in keeping tick numbers at bay is more important than ever. This time of year is when the highest risk of Lyme disease transmission occurs, via the nymphs of black-legged ticks. Nymphs are about the size of a poppy seed. Residents are advised to bathe or shower as soon as possible after coming indoors, avoid tall grass and bushy areas, use repellants containing DEET and tumble dry clothes on high heat for one hour.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: On a positive note, the drought last fall may have helped curb the tick population somewhat, but it’s too early to say how well they fared.

A 90-pound juvenile male bear was spotted on Manchester’s West Side and made quite a commotion at the end of last week. New Hampshire Fish and Game officers at first tried to pressure the black bear into meandering into the woods across the Bedford town line, but instead it decided to climb a tree. Manchester Animal Control had to use a tranquilizer dart to bring it down, according to WMUR. QOL Score: -1 Comment: New Hampshire Fish and Game said the bear was probably attracted to the area because of easily available food — a precautionary note to take down those bird feeders!

Projecting the future in sports is hard. But it’s what general managers have to do all the time. And being able to make great decisions in real time, as opposed to doing it with 20-20 hindsight like second-guessers among fans and in the media, is where the real money is made.

That’s true whether it’s scouting for the amateur draft, making astute trades, having the patience to wait to see if a talented young player will develop into better than he’s showing at the moment, or knowing it’s time to sell high after a surprising season by someone like Brock Holt last year.

That goes triple for signing high-priced free agents when you’re seduced by big stats that can exaggerate value over finding the kind of guy who’ll thrive in your system or town. If you miss on one of those, like the Sox did with the horrendously mismatched Carl Crawford, it can mess up your payroll for years. Especially with a small-market team.

And it’s all done in an environment where fans, sports writers and radio talkers, who often think only in the moment and have never made a decision like this, are yakking away to whip up the fandom with no accountability needed. But general managers have to balance short-term and long-terms needs together. And they’re held accountable for every little mistake as many don’t seem to quite get that everyone misses at one time or another.

Bill Belichick, for instance, signed Adalius Thomas, who busted for attitude reasons, and his drafts between 2005 and 2008 weren’t brimming with productive players. And then there was fourth and two.

However, while people nitpick everything, the bottom line is winning and they’ve averaged 12 wins since 2005 so those miscalculations were just part of the equation.

He also does things differently than most,

so that makes him open to second-guessers.

Like trading out of the first round to accumulate more picks to better the chances of getting four or five players out of a draft to help over the next four years. And after getting Tom Brady at 199 he knows gold can be unearthed down there if you get lucky as he did with TB-12, cause you know there’s no way waiting to take him there was part of the plan. In fact the real brilliant move regarding that was keeping a fourth QB in 2000 (which no one does) so as not to risk losing him after seeing something special in the not ready for prime time Brady during training camp.

A similar “media myth” for drafting genius was made by the Boston Globe’s Nick Cafardo on Sunday in a piece on Cubs Player Personnel VP Jason Mcleod.

He lauded him for “finding” former Sox farm hand and A’s outfielder Josh Reddick in the 17th round in 2006. But, did he really do that? Or since 10 of the 16 guys McLeod drafted before Reddick never saw even one pitch in the majors, you can make a case he missed on a future major-leaguer 15 times before lucking out to finally get him.

I’m not mocking Mcleod, just showing how tough picking talent is. It’s a mix of preparation, research, good scouting, having a gambler’s instinct and luck for how someone develops and/or slips in the draft.

And that putting a winning team together is a lot harder than most seem to understand. You need smart guys who can judge talent, with a sense of how they fit into the equation and an instinct for making a move at the right time. Like Brian Sabean picking up Hunter Pence and Marco Scutaro to be the late-season spark his team needed when the Giants won in 2010 and 2012.

I bring this up because big decisions lie ahead for the Celtics and Red Sox this summer. And I’m interested to see the thought processes of Danny Ainge and Dave Dombrowski as those decisions

arrive. Both teams are young and getting better, so disturbing the core could help in short term, but hurt maybe a long run of excellence by messing with it. With Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts already there the Sox are head of the Celtics because they’re both on the cusp of the kind of stardom that you can ride the back of for 10 years. The C’s have a nice core but don’t have that kind of star power, and finding a way to acquire it is what this summer is about. But the question is how. They won’t get immediate help with the third overall pick so most think Danny will trade it, but finding a partner interested in all they have to trade is another story. They also have $40 million in cap space, but not a great track in attracting top-tier free agents. So I’m waiting to see what kind of rabbit the creative Ainge can pull out of his hat, which he needs to do because Celtics Nation wants growth on this year’s solid season with the disappointing ending.

With it looking like a lost season for Eduardo Rodriguez, the Sox need a No. 2 starter. But should Dombrowski act now? Or wait to see if Clay Buchholz can pull himself together, if Joe Kelly can consistently be the stellar guy going forward he was on Saturday, or if Rick Porcello can be as good the entire year as he’s been the first six weeks? And if he acts now, who goes? There’s also the switching Blake Swihart from catcher to outfielder decision after early defensive struggles. I would not do that because if they’ve decided on Christian Vasquez at catcher, his max trade value is as a catcher who can hit and run.

What lies ahead for Ainge and Dombrowski the next few months is what I find most fascinating about sports today, and I am looking forward to seeing how they navigate things to get their teams to the next level.

SNHU falls one game short The Big Story: After staving off elimination five times in the NCAA East Regional, SNHU fell one game short of the college World Series in a 6-3 loss to arch-rival Franklin Pierce, after earlier beating FPU 4-3 to force the climatic game. It was a disappointing loss to a great year where SNHU won a school record 50 games against 7 losses.

Sports 101: Name the only two switch hitters to have gotten 100 hits from each side of the plate in the same season. Hint: They did it in back-to-back years of 1979 and 1980.

Game of the Week: It was the double-OT lacrosse thriller between Bedford and Bishop Guertin won by the Bulldogs 16-15 on a last-minute goal by Kennedy Boyle. It was the second last-minute goal by B-town as Zoey Shapiro sent it to the first OT with a goal with 38 seconds left in regulation. As you might expect in a high-scoring affair, ancillary heroics came from Bryn Carroll and Kate Bradford on the BG side with four goals apiece while Boyle and Hannah McCarthy each had five goals for the winners.

Babe Ruth Award: To Goffstown’s Tyler Small for throwing a 3-hit, 13-strikeout shutout at John Stark and breaking a scoreless tie by knocking in the game’s first two runs

The Numbers

4 – hits by Joey Silva as Memorial ran over Concord 14-1 on Wednesday when Connor Lyons, Grant Corbett and Riley Denver chipped in with two hits in each.

6 – goals by Polly (want a) Carter as she led Derry-

with a bases-loaded single in the sixth inning of G-town’s 4-0 win over the Generals.

Unique Game-Winning Run of the Week: To Emily (gun) Moll for scoring the decisive third run on a passed ball that was followed by an Erika Wentz single to drive in Anna Walsh as Derryfield scored three times in the last inning for a come-frombehind 4-2 win over Portsmouth Christian Academy.

Sister’s Act of the Week: It’s Central’s running Lavasseur sisters, where Katya won the 100-, 200- and 400-yard dashes at the Manchester City Track meet and older sister Emma took second in the 100 and fifth in the 200 while eldest sister Aria looked on as their coach at Central.

Sports 101 Answer: Gary Templeton had 111 lefty hits and 100 right-handed while playing shortstop for St. Louis in 1979 and KC’s Willie Wilson had a whopping 130 lefty and 100 righty in 1980.

On This Date – May 26: 1925 – Ty Cobb becomes baseball’s first player to reach 1,000 career extra-base hits. 1946 – New York Giants great Mel Ott retires from baseball after starting the year 2-for-42 to finish .048. 1959 – One time White Sox 40-game winner Ed Walsh dies on the 57th anniversary of no-hitting the NY Highlanders in 1907.

Sports Glossary Carl Crawford: Gigantic free agent disappointment after being overwhelmed by Boston’s baseball-obsessed culture. Hitting .255 with 56 RBI and just 18 steals for his $20 million-plus salary after being a .296 hitter and averaging 40 steals per year in Tampa Bay did not make it with Red Sox Nation. Throw in the whiny attitude, and it was don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out after a miracle deal dumped Josh Beckett, A-Gone and him on L.A. midway through his second season.

The Blake Swihart Position Switch Decision: Brought on by the luxury of having two promising catchers ready for the majors at the same time. Swihart appears headed to the outfield in lieu of Christian Vasquez behind the plate. But it’s too early to give up, just as it was when Yogi Berra was a disaster defensively in his early years.

After being tutored by Bill Dickey he became a great defensive catcher. So do the same thing with Jason Varitek because a catcher who can hit and run like Swihart is really hard to find.

Bill Dickey: All-time Yankee all-timer catcher during the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. Was behind the plate for eight World Series wins as a player and six more as a Yankees coach, not to mention for 11 All-Star games as he hit .313 lifetime with 202 homers and 1,280 RBI. Deservedly went to the Hall in 1954 with 80.1 percent of the vote.

This year is the 93rd annual Motorcycle Week in Laconia and there are a number of new features to the nine-day rally from June 11 to June 19.

LMWA director Jennifer Anderson says the biggest change this year is the introduction of a music festival, Laconia Fest Motorcycle Music Festival, which will offer live music throughout the week at the Weirs Beach Drive-In and include headlining acts such as rock icon Steven Tyler on Wednesday, June 15, Bret Michaels on Tuesday, June 14, and Ted Nugent on Friday, June 17, as well as other bands like Buckcherry, Fuel, Saving Abel and more.

Anderson also says the New Hampshire Motor Speedway has expanded its offerings for motorcycle week with races, vendors, live entertainment and most notably with a wide array of motorcycle demonstrations. The speedway will also offer camping options for the first time.

“It’s not often you get all these companies in the same area,” Anderson said.

ARTS Diverse population

Nashua taps into its ethnic communities for Nashua International Sculpture Symposium

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Months after the 2015 Nashua International Sculpture Symposium, State Rep. Latha Mangipudi asked members of City Arts Nashua about selecting an Indian artist for the following year’s event. After all, Mangipudi pointed out, Nashua does have a rich Indian community.

The symposium committee agreed that this was a good idea — but why stop there?

Why not pull in more artists who reflect Nashua’s diverse population? And why hadn’t they done this before?

“There are 40 languages spoken in Nashua. … We said, we’re really not tapping into that opportunity as well as we should,” said City Arts Nashua President Kathy Hersh during an interview at NIMCO during the third working day for artists. She wore silver earrings by Picker Building artist Gail Moriarty with the Nashua Symposium logo — two intersecting S’s — carved on the surface.

John Weidman from the Andres Institute of Art in Brookline is the guy who finds the artists for the annual Nashua sympo2016 Nashua International Sculpture Symposium See the artists at work: Monday through Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., now through June 2, at NIMCO, 1 Pine St. Ext. Closing reception: Saturday, June 4, at 1 p.m.; participants should meet behind City Hall, where they can get on trolleys, see the finished pieces and hear from the artists Contact: cityartsnashua.org, nashuasculpturesymposium.org

sium, either through research or through his own experience as a traveling sculptor himself, and with this year’s stipulation — to find Indian, Greek and Lithuanian artists — he came upon Asta Vasiliauskaite of Lithuania,Vasilis Vasili of Greece and Gopinath Subbanna of India.

The trio are creating sculptures for the city now through June 2 based on the theme “Conversation.” During a recent visit, they were deep in concentration, chiseling and grinding away at slabs of stone from the Andres Institute of Art and Milford Granite Company.

The opening reception days earlier, May 12, offered a slew of support and celebration. Food and refreshments came from Silverstone Living — formerly the Hunt Community — JajaBelle’s, Main Street Gyro, Pennichuck Water Works, the Riv-

36 Art

erwalk Cafe and Music Bar and Taj India.

The people at Pennichuck had never even heard of a water bar before Hersh requested it, but they showed up with glass urns, pristine tablecloths and water flavored with slices of fruits and vegetables.

Three point people — Mangipudi of India, George Eftimiou of Greece and Dan Zelonis of Lithuania — rallied the Indian, Greek and Lithuanian communities in Nashua. That included three artists — Monique Sakellarios of Greece, Sally Grigas of Lithuania and Dr. Matcheri Keshavan of India — who showed off their own work that evening between dance performances.

It was the best opening reception party in the symposium’s nine years, which Hersh credited to new people and a new opening committee headed by Karen Wolfe. The changing demographic in Nashua means

there’s a large opportunity to expand this outreach even more in future years.

“Nashua is a unique place. The diversity is really emerging. We have a large Indian community, and we also have a large Spanish community. The demographic is changing,” Mangipudi said.

Nashua is the only city in the country to hold such an event, and the last nine years have resulted in 22 sculptures installed around the city, about half of which are sponsored.

Organizing is a lot of work; the event happens on a $20,000 budget, which goes toward recruiting international artists and flying them here, plus their materials, tools and technical on-site help. The community provides in-kind services — feeding and housing them and making them feel welcome.

When completed, the sculptures will decorate the Riverwalk and stand by The Apartments at Cotton Mill and near the fire station on East Hollis Street.

The public can see the final pieces at a closing reception Saturday, June 4, at 1 p.m., but City Arts Nashua is still looking for more sponsorships, which will help print artist statements on the plaques accompanying the sculptures.

Wolfe is currently housing an artist in her home. Last year, she took in Ana Duncan from Ireland, and they became such good friends, they met up again when the two, coincidentally, were traveling in Barcelona this year.

“I love having people in my home,” Wolfe said. “I love hosting and being with the artist. For me, it’s like being home but being on vacation at the same time. … It’s a lot of work … but in the big scheme of things, it really helps me feel like the world is a smaller place.”

Big show

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Dimensions in Dance brings Beauty and the Beast back to the Palace Theatre this weekend, a show the company first performed in 2009. In Artistic Director Amy Fortier’s opinion, it’s the perfect choice for her and senior dancers to see how far they’ve come.

“We’re at the point where we’re sort of dusting off some shows that we’ve done in the past. I think Beauty and the Beast is the fourth show we’ve repeated in 20 years. I think it’s a great way to mark the progress of the school,” Fortier said via phone.

The story offers a lot of different characters for Fortier’s 200 dancers, ages 2 to adult, plus a large number of lead roles for company seniors who were in the 2009 show performing as children in the village or feather dusters.

“We’ve added a lot more; we’ve done a lot more with sets and scene changes,” Fortier said. “[In 2009], we didn’t have a big chandelier or Palace setting. This time we spent $200 on beads and made an enormous 6-foot chandelier, huge chiffon panels and standing candelabras. Each year we get more elaborate in stage aspects.”

And costume aspects. Many theatrical costumes are not conducive for dancing, which the company discovered in 2009 when it rented the costumes. The girl dancing as Cogsworth the clock saw particular trouble that year. “[Cogsworth] doesn’t dance in the Broadway show, and [the dancer] got stuck in her costume onstage. She couldn’t bend all the way down, and she stood there for a moment — and in the video, you hear the entire audience burst out laughing,” Fortier said. “She had to walk backward offstage. She had a good sense of humor about it, and eight years later, it’s still talked about all the time.”

To avoid such malfunctions, Fortier hired Julia Lafleur, a former dance student and New Hampshire Institute of Art graduate, to design some of the trickier costumes. Dancers have been trying them out as Lafleur works, which proved useful when Hannah Olkovikas, who plays Belle, accidentally knocked teeth out of the Beast mask.

The kids’ favorite numbers are the big ones, like “Be Our Guest,” in which they’ll be dancing as forks, knives and dinner plates in large headpieces and hula hoop costumes.

“It’s really funny to see everyone in these See Beauty and the Beast When: Saturday, May 28, 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Admission: $16 Contact: palacetheatre.org, 668-5588

large extravagant costumes that make them look like various household objects,” Chloe Streitburger, who plays Mrs. Potts, said.

The company has come a long way, but Fortier still tries to stay true to founder Michele Leslie’s mission when she started Dimensions in Dance in 1996. Fortier knew Leslie well — she took private lessons under her and then joined the company as a teacher after college. She took over after Leslielost her battle with cancer in 2006.

“Her last wish was that I take over the school, which was not even remotely on my radar. I was 26 and working full-time at SNHU as a lecturer. I had absolutely no business experience, no idea how to run a dance school. It was definitely a little rocky the first year,” Fortier said. “I often wish I could talk to her, just to make sure she thought I was on the right track and doing the right thing. …

But overall, I think she’d be happy with the direction I’ve gone with the school while trying to stay true to her core values.”

Those values emphasize that dance is first and foremost a performing art. Fortier still thinks kids get more out of a dance-through story than a recital, even though it’s certainly more work for everyone involved. The Disney story doesn’t contain music throughout, so Fortier has to find supplementary pieces.

“I think the most challenging part of putting together a production like this is figuring out how to turn it into a show and not just a recital of dances with no continuity of theme,” Olkovikas said.

When she announced this spring’s production in October, the kids started wearing Beauty and the Beast paraphernalia, and dancers in lead roles became instant celebrities. Fortier said you could hear little girls whisper to one another, “There’s Belle!” when Olkovikas walked by.

“I think it’s highly motivating for kids,” Fortier said. “Dance, at the end of the day, is really hard work. … But they know, if they persevere, they too will get their moment in the spotlight with the tiara.”

INSIDE/OUTSIDE Much to see on the sea Seacoast boat trip focuses on pelagic wildlife

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Laughing gulls, humpback whales and dolphins are just some of the creatures you may see at the Pelagic Wildlife Trip hosted by New Hampshire Audubon this Memorial Day Monday, May 30. Spend the day aboard Granite State Whale Watch’s MV Granite State, exploring Jeffrey’s Ledge 20 miles off the coast in search of pelagic birds and other sea-dwelling wildlife.

“A pelagic bird is a bird that spends most of its life over the open water,” said Jon Woolf, Massabesic Audubon Center volunteer and trip organizer. “[It comes] to land only to nest and raise its young … otherwise they stay out at sea, so if you’re a dedicated birder and you want to see pelagic birds, you have to go to them.”

The group will launch from the Rye Harbor dock at 8 a.m. and return around 5 p.m. Master birder Steve Mirick will guide the trip, identifying wildlife and giving an ongoing commentary via the boat’s PA system.

Participants will likely see common birds like laughing gulls, northern gannets, several species of shearwaters, Wilson’s storm petrel, and northern fulmar.

However, some rarer birds have been seen on past trips, including long-tailed and pomarine jaegers, Sabine’s gulls, red and red-necked phalaropes, Leach’s storm petrels and Atlantic puffins.

While the focus of the trip is pelagic birds, some time will also

be dedicated to whales, dolphins, sharks and any other wildlife that presents itself.

“On one trip we spent a good 20 minutes with the engines shut down, drifting, while a curious humpback whale swam within yards of the boat.” Woolf said. “Birds and whales are looking for the same thing — small fish to eat — so where you find one, you often also find the other.”

The trip was first held in September 2008 and has since become a biannual tradition, taking place every spring and fall. Woolf proposed the idea to the Massabesic Audubon Center after noticing that all of New England’s pelagic birding trips were based in southern Massachusetts, “a long way to go for New Hampshire birders,” he

said.

“So I suggested a [trip] into the central Gulf of Maine… to give New Hampshire birders access to a locally based pelagic birding program and get some solid information on pelagic bird populations in and around Jeffrey’s Ledge,” he said.

If you want to learn more about the trip or about pelagic wildlife in general, Woolf is giving an Intro to Pelagic Wildlife slideshow presentation at the Massabesic Audubon Center on Saturday, May 28, at 3 p.m., two days before the trip. The presentation will cover the bird and whale species most commonly seen on the trip, including photos and videos to give people who are planning on attending a visual of what they’ll be looking for.

A new kind of walk

Easter Seals NH expands Walk With Me event

The Easter Seals New Hampshire annual walk returns this year with a new name, new route, new 5K run and more activities. The event, now called the Eversource Walk With Me & 5K Run for Easter Seals, takes place Thursday, June 2, in downtown Manchester and will help provide services for children and adults with disabilities and special needs.

Registration and pre-race activities will be held at Veterans Memorial Park on Elm Street from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The walk/run begins at 6:15 p.m. and concludes back at the park with closing ceremonies at 7:30 p.m.

Walk With Me, now in its 17th year, is Easter Seals’ signature fundraising event, with over 60 walks taking place nationwide each year. The New Hampshire chapter’s walk, however, is the oldest, starting several years before it became a national event.

“They found that they needed to come up with a signature event that was familyfriendly and universally easy to attend and something that clients’ families could participate in,” said Christine Pederson, director of events and corporate relations for Easter Seals New Hampshire. “So that’s why they chose a walk.”

The Manchester event has some big changes this year, including its new name and first title sponsor, Eversource, and the addition of a 5K race.

“It’s proving to be very popular already,” Pederson said. “We typically see 800 people or so. Our goal in adding the run was to double it and see 1,500 to 2,000, and [based on the number of registrants so far] it’s looking like that’s exactly what’s going to happen.”

With double the number of people attending, Pederson said they’ll also be having “double the attractions, fun and entertain-

ment” this year.

Prior to the start of the walk/run, Veterans Park will be bustling with food vendors, raffles and giveaways, mingling mascots and music. There’s also Wellness Alley, a fair with exhibitors from the health and fitness fields, including local gyms, yoga studios, fitness trainers, health food businesses, health insurance companies, doctors, nurses and other health specialists. Pederson said it usually has around 15 booths, but this year’s Wellness Alley will be the largest yet with close to 50 booths.

Also new this year is the course. In the past, it has utilized mostly Elm and Commercial streets, but now it will cover Elm and a large section of Canal Street.

The walk/run will begin at the intersection of Pleasant and Elm streets. Runners will go first, and the walkers will follow along the same route. At the closing ceremony, the top 50 finishers from all of the gender and age categories will be awarded special swag bags.

Pederson said the best thing about joining the Walk With Me event is being able to connect with the people you’re supporting.

“You’re walking or running for a lot of our clients who aren’t able to do so, or needed many surgeries to do so,” she said.

“But a lot of clients participate too, so you can see the people you’re directly helping with your participation. It’s a feel-good experience.”

Eversource Walk With Me & 5K Run When: Thursday, June 2, registration/ pre-race activities from 4:30 to 6 p.m., walk/run at 6:15 p.m.

Where: Veterans Memorial Park, Elm Street, Manchester Cost: $10 for walkers, $25 for runners Visit: easterseals.com/nh

IN/OUT THE GARDENING GUY

The Bs and Cs of veggies Growing beets, carrots and more

By Henry Homeyer

listings@hippopress.com

Recently I wrote a column that promised tips on growing vegetables “A to Z: Artichoke to Zucchini” but didn’t finish the B’s and skipped to zucchini. Today I’ll be less ambitious: The last of the B’s and most of the C’s.

Beets are best started outdoors once the soil temperature has warmed to 60 degrees or even warmer. Yes, they grow well in cool temperatures, but are slow to germinate in cold soil. Plant 2 to 3 inches apart and be prepared to thin them in a month to 3 to 4 inches apart. Each “seed” is actually a seed capsule containing two to six seeds. They like soil that is near neutral in pH, so if you have acidic soil, add a little limestone. And they are deep rooted, so plant in fluffy soil for best results.

Hoping to jump the gun this year, I planted some beets in flats indoors on April 10. I started them on an electric seed warming mat but only got 20-percent germination, and the plants have long stems and are flopping over, even with bright fluorescent lights over them. I won’t do it again. I’ll plant mine outdoors this week.

Carrots also want fluffy light soil, and few if any stones. Comb through the soil carefully

to get out rocks – I use a CobraHead weeder for that. Add lots of compost and some bagged organic fertilizer at planting time and again in early July.

Carrot seeds are tiny, but it’s worth your time to plant them individually, or nearly so. It will save a lot of time thinning them later on.

Put seeds in the palm of one hand, and push one away from the rest with a pencil or pocket knife. Pick it up, plant it, and repeat. Tedious, yes. I like to plant them about an inch and a half apart, and thin to 3 inches when the thinnings are big enough to be worth eating.

Cauliflower is fussy. If it gets too hot or too cold it will “button” and not form a proper head. And unlike broccoli, cauliflower makes no side shoots (with rare exceptions). There is a purple one that I have grown, gorgeous in the garden but it turns gray when cooked.

Likewise, I don’t grow celery. It attracts slugs, gets woody and tough if the soil dries out and is generally unsatisfactory. But I’m a serious cook and often need that celery flavor.

Instead, I grow celeriac, also known as celery root. This is a great root crop that is pest free and stores for a long time. It’s funny looking with lots of roots that I cut off the bulb. Then I chop or grate it.

Corn seeds planted in plug tray indoors.

Celeriac, unfortunately, is not often sold in six-packs at the garden centers. But it’s worth asking for it as the seeds germinate slowly and take a long time to get big. I planted mine on April 10 and they are just an inch tall 5 weeks later. Still, it will grow well into the fall so you could try planting seeds. Celeriac needs soil with plenty of moisture all summer.

I avoided growing corn for decades; instead I bought just a couple of ears at a time.

I’m a bit like a raccoon: I tend to glut on it when there’s plenty in the garden ‘cause it’s so darn tasty! But for the past two years I have grown it. Here’s what I have discovered: You do need to plant it in blocks of four rows to get good pollination. And it needs plenty of supplemental nitrogen to do well. Last year I ran out of fertilizer and thought that since the

soil was good, it would do fine. But corn in that section was short and spindly.

Fencing is probably the best to keep out coons, but I also used some solar-powered blinking red lights that are said to scare them off. Those are touted as deer repellents, too.

I had some raccoon damage, but I probably needed more of them.

Cucumbers are a summer favorite of mine, and I’ve already started some seeds indoors.

They’ll go outside in mid-June after frost and when the soil is nice and warm, say 65 degrees.

I used to plant seeds outdoors, but the plants were often killed by striped cucumber beetles that would strip off all leaves in a single night.

Now I plant them when they have vines 6 to 12 inches long with some nice big leaves.

If you have had trouble with beetles but want to direct-seed your vine crops, you can cover the hills with row cover, also called Reemay. It is a thin agricultural fabric that breathes and lets sunshine and rain through.

But sometimes the beetles, which emerge from the soil, are already waiting for you before you put it down. Be sure to rotate your planting sites for vine crops like cukes.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, I’m thinking you might be the one who could figure this out for us. While cleaning out some items that belonged to my husband’s family, we came across three flags, all the same size. Two were 48-star flags, and this one was different.

We counted the stars and came up with 48, but we are thinking this must have been for a special event. I did some research and found out the history of 48-star flags. It was very interesting to read all about flags in general but nothing came up for this one.

If you could help in any way, I would appreciate it.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Three new windshields in three months is too many Dear Car Talk: Let me start off by saying I’m a scientist.

I graduated from Boston University with a science degree. It was there that I met my wife, who also is a sciBy Ray Magliozzi entist. When we come across a problem, we attack it scientifically. Our problem: In the short span of three months, my wife has managed to crack the windshield of our 2008 Toyota Sienna XLE minivan three times. Each time required a replacement windshield from the fine ladies and gentlemen at a well-advertised automotive-glass shop. I do not fault the windshield repair shop in any way; instead, I hypothesize that it is my wife’s driving behavior that may be contributing to her unusually high windshield consumption rate. My driving instructor taught me that there should be a three-second distance between your car and the car ahead of you. I cannot comment on what my wife’s driving instructor taught her, as I was not present to witness it. Needless to say, she leaves considerably less than three seconds — in other words, she’s a tailgater.

My question is: Is it proven that following too closely behind the car in front of you expos-

es your windshield to more damage (rocks, gravel, road debris, a muffler from a 1974 Chrysler), thus explaining the need for more replacement windshields? — Alex Well, look, Alex. You’re a scientist. So I’m sure you will immediately embrace the enlightening experiment I’m going to propose for you.

My hypothesis is that your wife is driving with inferior-quality replacement windshields. So to test this hypothesis, you need to go out this afternoon and buy her a 2016 Lexus LS 460. After she’s driven her new car for three months, write back and let us know if she’s cracked any more windshields. If not, then my theory is correct.

If she gets three more cracked windshields with her new Lexus, then your theory probably was correct. But at least she’ll be driving a brand-new Lexus, which should, in some way, make up for your attacks on her driving.

Actually, your theory may be correct.

It’s likely that tailgating would increase the amount of debris that gets kicked up from cars in front of her. And minivans have large windshields that are right out in front as the first line of defense, unprotected from a long hood, as they would be on a sedan or SUV. On the other hand, it takes a pretty big piece of debris to crack a windshield. It’s not

very easy. So it does make me wonder about the quality of the after-market windshields you keep buying. So if you’re not willing to blow $80 grand on your wife’s new Lexus, take the Sienna to your Toyota dealer and have them install a bona fide, original-equipment Toyota windshield. And then see what happens in three months.

But I like the Lexus experiment better, Alex. Do an experiment, and ask your wife what she thinks.

Dear Car Talk: Our past two vehicles have been Toyota RAV4s, and we’ve always had the regular maintenance done every 5,000 miles.

Although we don’t drive on dirt roads, it seems as if we’re shown air filters that need replacing more frequently than the maintenance book calls for — which is every 30,000 miles or 36 months. Are we being shown OUR air filter, is the condition of our air filter being exaggerated, or should we be replacing our engine air filter more frequently than every 30,000 miles or 36 months?

Thanks. — Gary Geez, Gary, if anything, I feel like air filters seem to last longer than ever these days.

We see lots of air filters in the shop with 40,000 or 50,000 miles on them that are still

perfectly serviceable.

It’s possible that your mechanic is showing you an air filter that may be fine, but may look dirty to the untrained eye (i.e., yours).

As a layman, you probably can tell the difference between a brand-spanking-new air filter, just out of the box, and one that’s not brand new. But you probably can’t tell the difference between two used filters -- one that’s still got useful life in it, and one that’s as clogged as one of my brother’s old cigar butts.

I’m not sure why air filters seem to last longer these days. Certainly the air is cleaner overall. And in the old days, the crankcase ventilation system used to sometimes expel oily air close enough to the air filter to get sucked in. But that doesn’t happen anymore.

If you want to do a test, let them change the filter next time, but ask for your old filter back. Then take it to another shop (check our Mechanics Files at mechanicsfiles.com for recommendations), and ask, “If this were your air filter, would you change it?”

My guess is the answer will be “no.”

Unless you’re doing a re-enactment of Lewis and Clark in your RAV4, I’d be surprised if you need a new air filter more often than every 30,000 miles.

FOOD Samples through the streets Milford and Nashua host annual Taste events

By Allie Ginwala

News from the local food scene

food@hippopress.com

By Allie Ginwala

Two Granite State downtowns are inviting folks to stroll from shop to shop and sample bites from area restaurants, cafes, bakeries and wine shops.

Starting things off, Great American Downtown presents the 22nd annual Taste of Downtown Nashua on Wednesday, June 1.

“I believe this is the oldest in New Hampshire, if not New England,” Paul Shea, executive director for Great American Downtown said in a phone interview. “[It] has only grown throughout the years and here we are today with 28 stops, which is the largest we have ever held.”

The idea is to spotlight downtown eateries and shops, bringing in folks who may be unfamiliar. Recently, many new restau-

• Kid-approved menu: Inspired by a Wellness Fair at Cawley Middle School in Hooksett, New England’s Tap House Grille (1292 Hooksett Road, Hooksett, taphousenh.com) teamed up with a group of seventh-grade students to redesign the restaurant’s kids’ menu. Hooksett’s Food Services Director Cindy Nusbaum and students from Bernadette Olsen’s Foods and Nutrition class worked together to make kids’ menu items that are fun, nutritious, balanced and creative. Ideas were submitted for the Tap House to select the winners.

Each winning menu item will be named after the group of students that created it.

On Wednesday, June 8, the menu will be revealed and the students will taste their creations.

• Beer accolades: Great North Aleworks (1050 Holt Ave. Unit 14, Manchester, greatnorthaleworks.com) came home with a silver award from this year’s World Beer Cup, a global competition that evaluates and recognizes outstanding brewers and beers from across the world. Winners are selected by a panel of 253 beer judges from 31 countries. This year’s “Olympics of beer” saw 6,596 entries from 1,907 breweries in 55 countries, according to a press release. Great North Aleworks took silver out of 275 entries (the largest in the competition) in the American-Style India Pale category for its IPA. “To have won a medal in the most competitive category in the most competitive competition in the world is truly incredible,” owner and brewer Rob North said in the press release. “As an 60 Looking for more food and drink fun?

Taste of Downtown Nashua When: Wednesday, June 1, from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

Where: Downtown Nashua Tickets: $35 in advance, $40 day of Visit: downtownnashua.org/event/ taste-of-downtown Participating restaurants WineNot Boutique, Margaritas Mexican Restaurant, San Francisco Kitchen, The Bale House Tavern & Restaurant, Cava de Vino, California Burrito, Riverside Barbeque Company, Bellavance Beverage Co., JajaBelle’s, Agave Azul, Giant of Siam, Riverwalk Café and Music Bar, Main Street Gyro, Thirsty Turtle Tavern & Grille, O’Briens Sports Bar, Peddler’s Daughter, King David Coffee Roasters, Celebrations Distinctive Catering, Edible Arrangements.

rants have been opening downtown, none of which need much convincing to be part of the popular event.

“It’s really a great opportunity to connect with new potential customers for the new restaurants that come in and of course an opportunity for event attendees to try food from one of the new places,” Shea said.

This year’s newcomers include Taj India, The Thirsty Turtle, The Bale House Tavern & Restaurant, Codex and Main Street Gyro. All of the participating vendors are from the downtown area.

“The restaurants are asked to bring a dish for folks to sample that showcases some of their best work,” Shea said. “It’s a great opportunity for the chef to show off. … It’s not every day that they get to feed 600 people and see them as they dig in for a bite.”

During Taste of Downtown Nashua, eateries are paired with a retailer, so folks can sample and shop their way through the evening. Shea said having businesses partner for the event is an example of the community coming together to promote the downtown.

Held throughout the Oval, the seventh annual Taste of Milford is happening Friday, June 3, also pairing local retailers with restaurants from Milford and the surrounding towns.

“We do Milford area … so I invited Hill-

top Cafe because they don’t have a main street organization to promote them,” said Wendy Hunt, executive director of Milford Improvement Team. “The focus is Milford, but we do invite the outlying areas. I feel like if one business succeeds, we [as] neighbors are going to succeed as well.”

Over 30 eateries will join in for this year’s Taste of Milford, including Union Coffee Co., Carole’s Cake Creations, The Happy Butchers and Giorgio’s. Each vendor brings about 300 samples to share with the hundreds of guests who will make their way through the Oval and vote for their favorite appetizer, entree, dessert and presentation.

“They do do a beautiful of job of arranging on the tables. … It’s almost like if you went to a beautiful restaurant,” Hunt said.

Each category’s winner receives a plaque as well as bragging rights. The Happy Butchers has won best entree for the past two years, Hunt said, and proudly displays its plaque in the shop.

While formatting the event like a restaurant week has come up, Hunt said having business owners and chefs work side by side for one night, chatting with people as they come through the Oval, is what works best for Milford.

“It’s a nice break and a very social event, even if you don’t know people,” she said.

Taste of Milford When: Friday, June 3, from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

Talk a walk through a chocolate-filled wonderland on Sunday, June 5, when Manchester’s Radisson Hotel will be filled with sweet treats for the 14th annual Chocolate Lovers Fantasy.

“We have everything and anything chocolate themed,” said Donny Guillemette, president and CEO of The Caregivers, which is hosting the event. “Chocolate things you can eat and also chocolate things that you can’t eat.”

Interactive stations will be set up for guests to decorate cupcakes, make an ice cream sundae and assemble chocolate and fruit crepes.

There will also be a dueling chocolate fountain, Guillemette said, to get a taste of chocolate-dipped pretzels, potato chips and cookies.

This year’s chocolate tasting event will host over 30 vendors, each of which will set up a booth so guests can peruse and try bites before deciding what they want to take home. Vendors like Van Otis, Michele’s Sweet Shoppe and Dulces Bakery will have chocolate items for folks to sample and buy, along with Wick-it Cool Candles and The Spa Within, which will offer chocolate-themed products and services.

Though the main focus is on Granite State candymakers, restaurants and bakeries, some larger chocolate companies will be there to share tastes with the guests as well, like Hershey, Nestle and Lindt.

“The idea is to get some exposure to

chocolate vendors … and give them the opportunity to give back to the community and a great cause,” Guillemette said.

Much of what each vendor brings is what one would expect from a chocolate maker, Guillemette said, like candies, cookies and pastries, though some will take a different route and use chocolate in a more unique manner. For example, last year British Beer Company made a chocolate cake filled with a chocolate stout sauce.

“It’s kind of a blend of both, some oldies but goodies … and very inventive uses of chocolate,” he said. “Van Otis may be there with their Swiss fudge, which everyone raves about, but also something new they’re trying this year — who knows what might be up their sleeves.”

While it may feel like you’re stepping into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, Guillemette said Chocolate Lovers Fantasy is designed for adults as a way to spend the day with a partner or friend and sample scores of chocolates alongside live local entertainment, a silent auction and raffles.

“I mean who doesn’t like chocolate?”

Guillemette said. “It’s a great [way] to have a nice afternoon.”

Chocolate Lovers Fantasy When: Sunday, June 5, from noon to 3 p.m.

WITH ALEXANDRA HORTON Alexandra Horton, owner of Café la Reine (915 Elm St., Manchester, 232-0332, cafelareine.com), has always had a passion for Manchester. While she was a student at Saint Anselm College, Horton wanted a spot downtown to get coffee and do her homework but didn’t have many options. So she decided to open her own shop.

Café la Reine (which loosely translates to “the queen’s cafe”) came to Elm Street in 2013, serving coffee, tea, smoothies, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches and lunch items (the sandwiches are named after queens like Cleopatra and Anne Boleyn, the salads after kings like Ferdinand and Louis XIV). Horton designed the space for those who want to work on laptops, enjoy lunch with a friend or sit outside while they sip. Downtown Manchester has become an increasingly vibrant community since Café la Reine opened, said Horton, who welcomes the friendly competition because it helps make Manchester a must-visit area.

What is your must-have barista tool or piece of equipment?

I’d say a good tamper for espresso. A tamper is what kind of presses down and settles the espresso in the basket, in the filter, and just having one that’s the right shape for your machine and the right weight is really important. When I first started as a barista myself …

I didn’t think there was much of a difference and then [after] using different ones I was like, oh my gosh. I found these very specific ones that I like to use, and that’s what we use.

What is the most unusual ingredient you’ve added to a coffee or tea?

My staff is really good at coming up with weird flavors, so right now we have a drink called the Daisy Fay. It’s half lemonade, half black tea, frosted mint and lavender. It’s really interesting. The lavender flavor shot is definitely one of the weirdest things we’ve put in a drink, but it’s really popular. It’s good in lattes; it works in tea. It’s like a weird flavor that spans all of the drinks we have.

I really like watching the Food Network. … I like the Pioneer Woman. She’s awesome.

If she wants to have a coffee, that’s cool. Or maybe Joanna Gaines from Fixer Upper. I just love her. I love her style.

What is your favorite item on your menu?

One of my most favorite hot sandwiches is the Isabella. It’s tomato, mozzarella, pesto and balsamic and it’s toasted on a flatbread.

We make the pesto here ... and I always like What is your go-to coffee shop drink the balsamic on that because balsamic is one order? of my favorite dressings.

Tangy baked serve ice cream with french fries Soft 2 mixins of your choice I consider french fries a food group unto themselves. From thick-cut steak fries to thinly sliced frites, the variations on cut, crispiness and flavor are endless. But since it wouldn’t exactly be in my best interest to eat something fried every day, I frequently make fries that are baked to slightly crunchy and golden brown.

The first few times I made homemade and baked fries, I used a coating of olive oil, garlic salt and pepper: simple seasonings on an even simpler side dish. I eventually dug deeper into my pantry, experimenting with combinations of dill, rosemary and paprika.

Some flavor combinations proved more successful than others, but they all fell squarely under the category of delicious.

I usually don’t follow recipes when making fries. I opt to try different spices and seasonings in different amounts until I stumble on one that is just right. But in an online search for summer side dishes, I found this recipe for tangy fries, and it seemed like a combination of spices my entire family would enjoy.

Courtesy of a user on Allrecipes.com, this recipe uses dry and wet ingredients for a zesty finish. Red pepper flakes, cayenne Tangy baked french fries Recipe courtesy Allrecipes 4 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick fries 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon chili powder 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

pepper and chili powder bring the heat but are slightly tempered by the lime juice and minced garlic. The addition of spicy brown mustard provides an unexpected tang, and a pinch of salt to finish helps enhance all of the flavors.

Homemade baked fries are incredibly simple to prepare but are always a crowdpleaser. Baking the fries until golden brown gives time for the seasonings to meld, and they aren’t lost in a vat of oil. Besides being a healthier alternative to their deep-fried cousin, baked fries are typically less timeintensive as well — no draining or double frying.

This recipe, like most recipes for baked fries, is extremely easy to customize, and there is little need to follow a recipe exactly. I’ve made this version a few times and never add the same amount of any ingredient twice. Typically I add less mustard and more salt at the end.

These fries do not lack in flavor. A slow bake to crispy and golden brown gives all of the seasonings time to meld, making each bite more satisfying than the last.

Add the potato slices, and stir until evenly coated. Arrange fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven before turning the fries over and baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until crispy and browned. Season with salt before serving.

Wine-producing states worth noting

As delicious as they are beautiful!

There are many well-known wine regions in the United States, with the most well-known being California. But with every state now containing its own winery, there are several other lesser-known wine regions that are great to visit and that produce some great wines.

HEALTHY BUFFALO

You may not think of Texas as wine country, but the Lone Star State actually boasts many wineries. I have family in San Antonio, and when I visited several years ago my cousin and her husband’s family introduced me to several wineries, all very different in size and style. Some were vineyards, growing their own grapes in the Texan countryside, while others got the grapes from other places or produced jalapeño wine, a natural pairing for the regional cuisine. I’m returning to Texas this week, and I’m hoping to revisit some wineries and maybe see some new ones.

Texas has expanded its wine country since I first visited. It looks like it now has 18 wine trails, listed at gotexan. org. The state is divided into four regions: southeast, northern, central and western.

The Finger Lakes area of New York is bursting with wineries. I visited the area several summers ago with my family and was amazed at the number of wineries that populated the region. We were driving around and could have stopped almost every halfmile at a different winery, large or small, because there were signs everywhere directing us. This area is a wine enthusiast’s dream.

According to Fingerlakeswinecountry.com, there are three main wine trails: Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, with 16 member wineries and one cider member; the Keuka Lake Wine Trail, with eight member wineries, and the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, with 35 wineries. Like Texas, this area has expanded since I visited, with each wine trail adding at least one new member.

Long Island, N.Y.

This is a wine region I have not experienced yet but hope to in the near future. Long Island is divided into three areas: the Hamptons, Long Island A.V.A. (American Viticultural Area), which is on the eastern lower tip; Long Island A.V.A., which encompasses about 80 percent of the island, including the offshore smaller islands; and North Fork, Long Island A.V.A., which is located near the Hamptons in Suffolk County.

According to liwines.com, the website of the Long Island Wine Council, Long Island is one of the most diverse wine-growing

regions. The wineries there produce a wide variety of wines, including chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, merlot, syrah, pinot noir, sparkling and even some dessert wines.

Kentucky

My boyfriend brought me a bottle of wine from Kentucky when he got stuck there during a work trip in February. The wine was from Lover’s Leap Vineyards & Winery in Lawrenceburg, outside Frankfurt, and it was delicious. Even though it is known for its bourbon industry, Kentucky has more than a dozen wineries. There are several concentrated in the northern tip of the state, near Maysville and Covington. Being a horse lover, I appreciate the equestrian themes in many of the wineries.

In fact, the Lover’s Leap wine was called Photo Finish and had horses on the label.

Connecticut

Connecticut has 25 wineries along its wine trail, and according to ctwinetrail.com, the website of the Connecticut Vineyard and Winery Association, it is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing wine regions in the United States. There are wineries all over the state, with several in the Norwich and Torrington areas. Common varietals include cabernet franc, St. Croix, chardonnay, pinot gris, riesling, and seyval blanc.

Many states’ associations hold annual festivals, and these are a great way to sample locally made products in one place. I am hoping New Hampshire holds another one this year, as last year’s event was a lot of fun.

Of course, this is only a small snapshot of wine regions in the United States. We have our own share of great wineries here in New Hampshire and that list keeps growing as well. For a list of current members of the New Hampshire Winery Association, visit nhwineryassociation.com.

I dunno, this Boston indie mainstay’s last record, Dark Spring, struck me as a tamped-down version of Redd Kross but with a definite Pixies edge and the right amount of too-loudness on the guitar side, delivering annoying ear-worms that sounded like early demos from Tribe.

You’re lost, aren’t ya, I did a fly-by, here, let’s back up. This sound has been the beat of Boston for nearly 30 years, musical enough for enticing, oh, maybe 0.005 percent of the actual club population to bob their heads, and amateurish enough so that lowly radio-indie bands like Kaiser Chiefs could kick their ass with both hands tied behind their back. “Distant Star” opens this one up with ’70s-radio-chill atmospherics and not-bad melodies that eventually swirl with a really cool shoegaze/noise vibe that should have been present from the start, at least to spare us the discordant coed faux-harmonies of frontwoman Noell Dorsey and her male counterparts. “Insomnia” fares better, like Siouxsie fronting Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, as does “Vision Owl,” which evokes Versus trying to make something actually decent. Personally I’d like to hear more psyche-noise and less pub apathy, but that’d involve their settling on a core sound. B- — Eric W. Saeger

Over the last 35 years, this Los Angeles jazz quartet has had a ton of Grammy nominations, but despite all their high charting, amazingly sweet tunes and deep talent, they almost always wind up as bridesmaids (their last Grammy was in 1989), looking on while the Kenny Gs of the world walk off with the trophies. This has to stop. You would have thought that the presence of Jaco Pastorius’s son Felix on bass (and, bonus, playing Jaco’s original fretless bass, on loan from Metallica’s Robert Triujillo) might have been gimmickry enough to win a Grammy for their 2013 album A Rise in the Road, but nah. Okay, RITR didn’t carry as much melodic weight as its predecessor, Timeline, but it was a smooth-jazz clinic in every way — did you know Berklee School of Music offers a class whose sole purpose is analyzing this band? Whatever, I’ll live, just letting you know, and I’ll admit that Cohearance, their 20th album and perhaps brainiest, takes a few listens before the voicings manifest themselves. But after a while, these gorgeous, clever pieces do manifest themselves as “song”-songs, carefully finding the middle ground between prog wingnuttery and simple-stupid arena-breeze. If I may, these guys simply rule. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

• English folktronica fixture Beth Orton releases Kidsticks, her sixth LP. OK, maybe she stopped doing folktronica for a few years, but I’m not sure what else you’d call the new single, “Moon,” other than awesome folktronica. It features an understated, really cool little deep-house-like beat with faraway chug-chug guitars and a low, studious, Annie Lennox-style vocal line. It’s grown-up, very neat stuff, meaning it will fail miserably, as the gods of art weep into their mugs of beer.

• San Francisco’s Sonny Smith has dabbled in many facets of the art world, including music, or so it appears, since 2000. He enjoys incorporating theater and dialog into his music. He has had paranormal experiences. Can you guess what I’m expecting from this person? His band Sonny & the Sunsets release their new album, Moods Baby Moods, which features the single “Well But Strangely Hung Man.” What does that even mean? I don’t know, but the song itself sounds a lot like Prince, if Prince was a street bum with a Casio keyboard and a jones for MGMT. I don’t want to dissuade anyone from supporting this musician, but I daresay I will not add this to my personal “Awesome” mix. You can, of course, absolutely. This is only meant as a guide.

• “Simian Mobile Disco” sounds familiar, doesn’t it? I know I reviewed some of their stuff at some point over the past 12 years. But what does that have to do with anything, you ask?

Well, because Gold Panda, a.k.a. Jas Shaw, was one of that duo’s peeps. And now you are an expert on groovy electronic music and have earned a box of Twinkies. Good Luck and Do Your Best is the title of the third Gold Panda full-length. Tire-kicker single “Time-Eater” consists of electro zen in search of usefulness for its ingredients, which are interesting: Chinese strings, bell-like samples, buzzy noise-house and of course glitch. If this tune can be used for something more substantive than an overlong ringtone, someone please text me or send a postcard.

• Wealthy country music bumpkin Dierks Bentley is at it again, with Black, his eighth album. He’s generally lumped in with the bluegrass crowd, which is the country music way of saying “he ain’t no NASCAR-metal fraud,” but what are we to make of his new single, “Somewhere on a Beach,” a Kenny Chesney-style tune that sounds just like his 2014 single, the Kenny Chesneystyle tune “Drunk on a Plane?” We are to make nothing of it, that’s what; we are to buy the albums our goat-headed amphibian overlords choose for us, that’s what. Thank you.

Poetic landmark

Frost Farm ready for conference, readings, workshops

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

It’s been more than 100 years since Robert Frost left his farm in Derry, but poets local and from afar still find inspiration there.

They find inspiration in his kitchen, where the Hyla Brook Poets workshop meets monthly during the summer, and they find it in his barn, where the same group presents regular poetry readings with notable guest writers.

Previous visitors include Maxine Kumin, Richard Blanco, Sharon Olds and David Ferry.

The group’s been meeting, reading and writing at the farm since March 2009, but last spring it brought in a whole new crowd of poets and poetry-lovers through the inaugural Frost Farm Poetry Conference. Members are now gearing up for another one, happening Friday, June 17, through Sunday, June 19.

The conference is two days of intense instruction by award-winning poets Timothy Steele, Midge Goldberg, A.M. Juster, Deborah Warren and Alfred Nicol. Workshops are designed to immerse participants in the art of formal, metrical poetry writing, with focus on rhyme, sonnets, repetition and meter.

The 2016 event will be a little larger than the first, said Robert Crawford, conference director, during an interview at the farm.

They’ve added an extra tent, another instructor and a new class. Of the 50 slots available — up from the 40 in 2015 — more than half are filled. People travel from as far as British Columbia to attend, with others trekking over from Pennsylvania, New York and D.C. Many 2015 participants are returning.

“In fact, that’s one of our problems, if you call it a problem. A lot of people are returning, but they want different classes, they want more advanced classes,” Crawford said.

Workshops will be held in the barn, on the grounds under tents or near the apple trees, flower gardens or walking trails, and in the kitchen, Crawford’s favorite room.

“This is where Frost wrote his poems,”

Crawford said, unlocking the front door and gesturing to the kitchen table, which held a Blickensderfer typewriter — the same kind Frost used.

That morning, Crawford was prepping the place for a field trip of Phillips Exeter Academy students, so he walked to the barn and heaved open the large sliding doors. Inside were benches, stackable chairs and tables with books about and by Frost. Hanging on the walls were posters and text panels detailing his life.

If all goes as planned, Crawford continued, it will be a busy season at the farm. That week, he also needed to prep for the first Hyla Brook reading and workshop of the season, and the next week, the farm would see 150 kids from Lowell for a field trip. The Frost Farm Prize, a national metrical poetry contest Crawford helps coordinate, had 650 entries this year from around the world. The winner, James Najarian of Auburndale, Mass., will read his work at the conference June 17.

“The mission of the Hyla Brook Poets is to promote poetry, but with an emphasis on metrical poetry. … And I think we’ve succeeded in our mission,” Crawford said.

There is a certain magic to The High Mountains of Portugal, Yann Martel’s fifth novel. It moves through three individual but interconnected stories, beginning in 1904 with Tomas, who has suffered through the loss of his wife and son.

Tomas becomes infatuated with the journal of an old priest. In that journal, Tomas finds reference to a sculpture that he is sure would “do nothing less than turn Christianity upside down.”

Tomas learns the sculpture most likely ended up at a small church in the high mountains of Portugal. He takes leave from his job, borrows a car — not knowing how to drive — from his wealthy uncle, and begins a treacherous journey into the mountains in search of this sculpture.

Tomas runs into countless hurdles during his travels, some pitiful, others hilarious, and others tragic.

Now, 35 years later, the reader meets Dr. Eusebio Lozora, a Portuguese pathologist, whose wife pays him a surprise evening visit to discuss connections between Agatha Christie novels, to which they both are devoted. After his wife departs, a mysterious woman arrives at the office with the body of her husband in a suitcase, requesting Dr. Lozora perform an autopsy to tell her how her husband “lived,” rather than died.

Finally, now in the early 1980s, the reader meets Canadian Senator Peter Tovy, who has also suffered through the recent loss of his wife and is trying to cope with the grief.

Peter visits a chimpanzee sanctuary during an official visit to Oklahoma with a Canadian delegation. There, Peter meets Odo, a friendly, tranquil chimpanzee. On a whim, Peter agrees to buy Odo, and together they move to the high mountains of Portugal.

Clearly paralleling Tomas’s initial quest for the high mountains, Peter and Odo must also overcome significant hurdles to complete their journey.

This is a book that makes you think, about life, loss, purpose and faith. It is touch-

105697

ing and deeply moving.

But it is also delightfully funny and downright sad at times. The three stories are each entertaining, at times chilling, and incredibly intertwined. Some of the parallels between the stories are obvious, particularly the themes of death and loss.

The stories take place in different time periods and the writing moves seamlessly from one to the next. Each of the protagonists completes a personal journey, though not necessarily a physical journey. The characters are each a bit odd, yet real and relatable. Each one is marching toward something, but their goals are never entirely clear. The circumstances are often strange, even bizarre. But it still all seems to fit, though perhaps not neatly.

Martel’s storytelling is vivid and very much reminded me of Life of Pi, his 2001 novel sensation that has since become an award-winning motion picture. I love how Martel describes setting and characters in The High Mountains of Portugal.

With automobiles something villagers in rural Portugal have never seen in the early 1900s, during Tomas’s journey, Martel writes, “Imperceptibly, shyly, the people of Povoa de Santa Iria ooze forward, pressing the automobile on all sides until they are ten, fifteen thick.” Martel refers to Dr. Lozora’s wife as “an endlessly unfurling conversation, with never a true stop, only a pause.”

While at times I looked up from the text and wondered where the novel was going, each of the stories are relentlessly captivating, moving and entertaining on their own.

While they are tied together, each is its own mystery. The reader wants to be there with Tomas when he arrives in the high mountains of Portugal. The reader wants to know about the major discovery Dr. Lozora’s wife has found in a bag full of Agatha Christie novels. And the reader wants to know just where Odo is taking Peter. Along the way, the protagonists, very different people on the surface, demonstrate the different ways they search for and find closure. B+ — Jeff Mucciarone

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (R)

Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne return as a couple who are just looking for some peace and quiet in their home but find themselves living next to a hive of teens in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, a very stupid yet enjoyable comedy.

I’m not even certain that the stupidity of this movie is a knock on it. The stupidity of this movie kind of makes it. If I thought this movie was seriously trying to be about something, I think I would like it considerably less.

Mac (Rogen) and Kelly (Byrne) and their now toddler-aged daughter Stella (Elise Vargas) are still living in the house that once neighbored a fraternity — but not for long.

Kelly is pregnant and the family has bought a bigger home in a quieter suburb. They have also sold their old house. Or, at least, they’ve nearly sold it. A lack of understanding of exactly how “escrow” works means that the couple could end up owning two homes if the couple that bought their old house backs out for any reason in the next 30 days.

A reason such as a sorority moving in next door.

Shelby (Chloë Grace Moretz) is a college freshman looking for the close friendships and constant good times she thinks she’ll find at a sorority. But on rushing one of the college’s official sororities, she learns that the sisters can’t throw parties, only fraternities can. After attending one such affair and deeming it too “rapey” for her liking, Shelby and fellow fun-seekers Beth (Kiersey Clemons) and Nora (Beanie Feldstein) decide to start their own independent sorority where the

girls have the freedom to party without making every event an “and hos” themed affair.

They happen to be looking at the old frat house at the same time that a forlorn Teddy (Zac Efron) is sitting in the dark and empty living room. His former frat brothers have moved on in life — one’s a cop, one has a successful app, his best bud and roommate Pete (Dave Franco) is getting married — but Teddy, now the oldest guy at the young-person clothing store where he works, is realizing that he peaked in college. The meeting of a former frat bro who knows how to fund a house with a “buckets of money” financial system and three girls trying to figure out how to start an off-the-books sorority is a win for everybody. Teddy has a purpose in life and Shelby gets a hoodie-friendly party haven for herself and other like-minded girls. The only losers are Mac and Kelly, who now live in

fear that their buyers will drive by and discover the nightmare that has moved in next door.

Yes, there are plenty of moments of grossout humor and extravagant pratfalls (the “air bag flings somebody” trick is back again) and this movie doesn’t exactly go for “nuanced wit” in the dialogue department. But the movie’s strategy toward dumbness seems to always be to double down on it, to take the dumb thing and push through until you reach some absurd level on which you can accept the nonsense decisions the characters make.

In reality, the “old people” — as Shelby and her friends call Mac, Kelly and eventually even Teddy — probably just would have offered the kids money to keep their situation together and low-key until the property was sold. But this plot-killing moment is not where the movie chooses to spend its reality coupons.

penniless after an insider trading conviction. C

Instead, we get doses of genuine emotion elsewhere, like when Shelby is confronted by her father (Kelsey Grammer) about her alcohol- and pot-filled new living situation. Mac and Kelly called him to talk sense into her but their conversation ends with him offering to take her friends to brunch and Shelby jeans shopping. Later, he starts crying about how quiet his house is when talking to Mac and Kelly. The moment is played for laughs but also called back to later when Mac and Kelly contemplate the future of their relationship with Stella. It’s silly but sweet and it helps to give some depth to the cartoonish comedy.

As does Teddy’s quarterlife crisis. He was great at frat-bro-ing but hasn’t figured out how to adult. His realization that he isn’t one of “us” to the sorority girls but one of “them,” the old people, is exaggerated, sure, but not so unlike the feeling everybody gets when they realize they’ve really left youth behind and are now solidly in grown-up territory. Kelly also gets a similar moment toward the end of the movie, when she’s called on to fix a problem with mom-ness. She might not be perfect at parenting (whatever that means) but she has it in herself to use a firm tone of voice and some Chumbawamba lyrics to buck up kids in need of help.

The movie also has some fun, sly moments of both poking holes in frat-boy culture and letting the girls be just as goofy and bad at decision-making. The girls aren’t inherently better or more righteous than the boys in this movie, they’re just given more dimensions and allowed to be flawed — still a rare enough thing that it stands out.

And all of this is done with basic goodheartedness. Perhaps the other reason that the

movie works more than it doesn’t is that it isn’t a mean comedy. Even when characters are “at war” they’re never cruel.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is silly, crude and loud — but sometimes that’s just what you’re looking for. BRated R for crude sexual content including brief graphic nudity, language throughout, drug use and teen partying. Directed by Nicholas Stoller and written by Andrew J. Cohen & Brendan O’Brien & Nicholas Stoller & Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is an hour and 32 minutes long and is distributed by Universal.

The Nice Guys (R)

A drunken widower and a professional arm-breaker team up to find a missing girl in The Nice Guys, the delightful 1970s buddy comedy I didn’t know I really needed.

The widower is Holland March (Ryan Gosling), a legit detective who takes shady cases (an elderly woman missing her husband, the ashes of whom appear to be in the urn labeled with his name on her mantel) and drinks so much that his teen daughter Holly (Angourie Rice) frequently has to drive him around. Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) is not a licensed P.I. but he is diligent about his job, which seems to be taking money for beating up guys creeping around girls. Because Holland is one of several guys who have been trying to find Amelia (Margaret Qualley), Jackson shows up at Holland’s home to tell him to leave Amelia alone and then breaks his arm to emphasize the point.

But then Jackson is himself menaced by other men looking for Amelia so he turns to Holland for help in finding her. Amelia, who appears to be just a party girl whose mother (Kim Basinger) is a muckety muck at the Justice Department, was part of Holland’s investigation into the whereabouts of Misty Mountains (Murielle Teilo). Misty’s aunt claims she saw the girl inside her house even though she had died days earlier. As Jackson and Holland work together, they slowly unravel the tale of how Misty, Amelia and a lawsuit against Detroit auto makers are all connected.

I wouldn’t have picked Gosling and Crowe

as the two guys to star in my buddy detective story — not individually and not together.

And yet they have pretty much the perfect chemistry for this kind of buoyant detective story. Despite the murder and the violence and the dead porn star, this movie is surprisingly light, full of a light-touch comedy that is neither wacky (as in Neighbors 2) or the kind of dark humor you might expect from a modern-day-set tale of this kind. The 1970s, with its gas lines and its corded phones and its ads in the yellow pages, is some kind of perfect blend of recent and long-ago. And 1970s L.A. is even more a weird fairy tale land of ranch homes and boozy disco parties. Jackson and Holland are neither jaded nor optimistic — or maybe they’re both jaded and optimistic. Whatever you’d call it, the tone of this movie is perfectly calibrated to both take the dangers seriously and never let anything get too heavy.

And, as solid as Crowe and Gosling are, they aren’t the only ones turning in perfectly pitched performances. Rice is great fun playing the seventies movie kid — she’s precocious without a kind of hamminess that you see in kid actors in the movies of more recent vintage. Basinger is doing a weird thing that is sort of mannered but also matter-of-fact and has a role that is different from the fragile-bird-type stuff you tend to see from her.

Matt Bomer, Keith David and Beau Knapp — all playing various hit men — also turn in good bad-guy performances that have just enough Bond villain in them to keep everything interesting.

The Nice Guys is something you don’t often find in movies for adults — and I’m going to say this is definitely a movie for adults only: it’s fun. The only quarrel I have with this bubbly blend of light action, light capering and smart humor is that it isn’t the pilot for the summery, wine-cooler-of-a-TV-police-procedural that it totally should be. ARated R for violence, sexuality, nudity, language and brief drug use. Directed by Shane Black with a script by Shane Black and Anthony Bagarozzi, The Nice Guys is an hour and 56 minutes long and distributed by Warner Bros.

• Warming up: Summer is nearing, and guitarist Brad Myrick is among the many musicians welcoming early evening music back to a favorite Capitol City restaurant-bar. With a newly renovated patio, the performers will work outside when weather permits; entertainment happens through Labor Day. Myrick is back to his busy schedule after a spring wedding and nationwide honeymoon. Go Thursday, May 26, at 5:30 p.m. at Cheers Bar & Grille, 17 Depot St., Concord, cheersnh.com.

• Clean fun: Four days long, the Half Moon Sober Festival is a family-friendly event with live music, recovery and spirituality workshops, sports, crafts, camping and kids activities, all reinforcing the value of fun without drugs and alcohol. The entertainment lineup includes Don White, Special K, Mission of Blues, The Peacheaters and the ironically named Tool tribute act Opiate. It opens Friday, May 27, at 10 a.m. at 4-H Youth Center, 15 Hillsdale Lane, New Boston. Tickets are $20 to $100 at halfmoonsober.org.

• DIY guys: Online punk pop zine Crowdsurf Central celebrates its first year with a multi-band show of only regional acts, perfect for this scrappy band of local music champions. Friday Night Lights, Eyes On Satellites, At The Heart of It, Acadia and Red Light Overtime are among the acts booked for the marathon show; seven more bands round out the lineup. Go Saturday, May 28, at 5 p.m. at Workmen’s Club, 183 Douglas St., Manchester. Tickets are $10 at CSCAnniversary.BrownPaperTickets.com.

Much was discussed during a careening, shambolic half hour on the phone with experimental comic, actor and musician David Liebe Hart. Strangely enough, one of Hart’s favorite topics didn’t come up — the Korendians, the space aliens he claims abducted him as a child and writes about in songs like “La Rent Doesn’t Want Me To Look At Porn” and “Go Into The Light.”

The territory that was covered in the interview seemed no less fantastical. The experiences Hart claims in his six decades on (and off) the planet include bit parts in sitcoms and friendships with many famous and influential people. Don’t bother checking IMDB or the archives of The Hollywood Reporter for any of it — just enjoy the ride.

Born in Chicago, Hart was raised a Christian Scientist; so, apparently, were many entertainers. Danny Thomas’s TV wife Marjorie Lord met Hart at his parents’ church and liked him enough to arrange a cold reading in L.A. for The Andy Griffith Show.

“I was to be Opie’s best friend,” Hart said, “but my parents didn’t want me to break into show business at such a young age.”

More performers came into his life through his faith, including two famous puppeteers.

downtown Chicago. … He taught me with Kukla, Fran & Ollie,” Hart said. “I had Jim Henson in Washington, D.C. and he used Kermit the Frog to teach Bible studies.”

Despite his missed chance as a child actor, Hart didn’t stop thinking about Hollywood, eventually making it there in 1976. Through a cousin, he met a then unknown Robin Williams at a Christian Science church. The two became friends, taking odd jobs together.

“We were doing gardening and yard work for some of the famous TV stars,” Hart said.

“Vivian Vance and Doris Day said, ‘Why don’t you two team up and do comedy since you both want to break into acting?’”

They played clubs like the Improv, Icehouse, Laugh Factory and Comedy Store, Marshall said.

“That’s where he got discovered,” Hart said. “One day, Garry Marshall came in there and said, ‘I want to have you do the Martian in your comedy skit,’ and bam — he had the character of Mork. But Marshall said he wanted him and not his African American friend for Happy Days.”

Hart then launched into a story about losing touch with Williams, then running into the late actor’s estranged mother in the mid 2000s and arranging a not-well-received reunion.

“Robin called and said, ‘Why’d you give my information out?’ I said, ‘I thought it was perfectly cool — she wants to see her grandchildren.’ It was the first time I’d heard from him in 30 years,” Hart said. “He was kind of upset, but anyway, I reunited them.”

At certain points during the interview, a cloud seemed to pass over Hart; he’d begin to grouse about racism, industry thugs, job stealing foreigners, post-divorce depression that caused him to stop being a vegan, and other sad topics. Drifting into complaining about people who wronged him and his troubles in general was Hart’s “default mode,” his publicist had warned in advance. “It’s not very uplifting; feel free to interrupt his train of thought by asking him about certain topics,” was the advice. “Literally, cut him off. He won’t be offended; he will just keep talking forever if you let him.”

A quick compliment about his comedy did the trick.

“Thank you,” Hart said earnestly. “Doris Day in person told me I was success in action — loved, cherished, respected and appreciated — and to value myself and to set goals for myself, that I’m a winner, not a loser. …

Evil is neither a person, place nor thing, and I know that I will continue to meet people like you that know and love me and appreciate what I do.”

Hart’s act resembles what might have happened if Andy Kaufman’s black half brother joined Devo in its early years — with scary-looking puppets. He’s best known for appearances on Adult Swim’s Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! and Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule. His shows in Portsmouth and Manchester will include musical collaborator Jonah Mociun transforming fan favorites like “Salame” into electronic explorations, puppets, projected video and offbeat tales of his endearing, if implausible, life.

“I just have to go where I’m accepted,” Hart said.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

PATTY GRIFFIN

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign announced they had recently (a first, they claimed) transmitted high-speed digital data through slabs of pork loin and beef liver.

The signal cleared the muscle and gristle so cleanly that it permitted streaming of high-definition video enough to watch Netflix, said the lead researcher. (Actually, the advance is crucial in that it allows a patient to swallow a transmitter and for physicians to monitor inner workings of the body in real time and externally control implanted devices such as cranial sensors and defibrillators.)

la early” note (using lettering typical of 7-year-olds) and was allowed to go home instead of attending her after-school program. (3) School police at Christa McAuliffe Middle School in Houston threatened to arrest a 13-year-old girl during the last school year because they were unaware that the girl’s $2 bill (cafeteria payment) was valid U.S. currency.

(1) In April, police in Brighton, Ontario, responded to what was reported by neighbors as a domestic dispute, involving shrieks like, “I hope you die!” They found only a man “arguing” with his pet parrot (who the man said was “beaking off” at him). No arrests were made. (2) Kayvon Mavaddat, 28, was arrested in Natick, Massachusetts, as police enforced three arrest warrants. He had been on the loose until May 6, when he politely held open a door at Natick Mall for a police officer who, in that brief moment, thought he recognized Mavaddat. Checking his cruiser’s computer, he found the warrants, went back inside and arrested Mavaddat.

An Israeli man (unidentified in press reports) petitioned the Haifa Magistrate’s Court recently for a restraining order against God, pointing out that the Almighty has exhibited (according to a May Times of Israel report) “a seriously negative attitude toward him,” especially over the previous three years. The judge rejected the petition even though God was not present to argue against it (or at least His presence could not be detected).

(1) In the latest ruling on a familiar theme, a court in Modena, Italy, ordered a father to continue paying living expenses for his son, age 28, who had meandered through a degree in literature but now has decided to seek another, in experimental cinema. (Almost two-thirds of Italians aged 18 to 34 still live with their parents.)

(2) In Beijing, an elderly couple secured a court order in March forcing their 36-year-old daughter finally to move out after she had refused for years. The couple admitted to the Beijing Morning Post that they might have pampered her excessively over the years, even lending her the equivalent of $23,000 to buy a house.

(Still, she stayed.)

in April, reported that a judge in Courtroom III asked a constable if he knew how the grenade entered into evidence worked. Rather than assume that an explanation was requested, the constable pulled the pin to demonstrate, and the resulting explosion injured the constable, a court clerk and another police officer.

The constable is said to be facing severe discipline as soon as he recovers.

• Religious leaders associated with the “quiverfull” ministry announced intentions for a November retreat this year in Wichita, Kansas, at which parents will meet to plan “arranged” Christian marriages for their prepubescent daughters, to maximize the future couples’ childbearing potential supposedly the No. 1 priority of all females. Quiverfull activist Vaughn Ohlman has written that female fertility is optimal during their teens (actually, just after age 12) and drops off in their 20s. The local district attorney, queried by The Wichita Eagle, said such marriages are legal as long as all parties consent but Ohlman has maintained that the Bible does not require the bride’s consent if her father has given his.

• Apparently, Japanese taste buds easily become bored, for manufacturers seem eager to create extravagant food combinations to satisfy them that might prove daunting to most Americans. The latest exhibit: the familiar Kit Kat chocolatecoated wafer but with the taste of ripe melon and cheese (specifically, “Hokkaido Melon With Mascarpone Cheese”). As Japanese foodies know, Kit Kats in Japan come in at least 15 coatings, according to a 2013 review by Kotaku.com, including Edamame Soybean, Purple Sweet Potato, Hot Japanese Chili, Matcha-Green Tea, Wasabi and Red Bean Sandwich.

Police reports

Cavalcade of rednecks

Timothy Trammell, 36, was arrested on several charges in Jonesville, South Carolina, in May after a sheriff’s deputy spotted him spray-painting a car that was not his. According to the deputy’s report, Trammell had just finished angrily painting “C-h-e-e-t-e-r” (sic) on the car (belonging to a woman, identified in a WSPA-TV report as his girlfriend).
