The story of New Hampshire cities going through Appreciation Dayrenewal isn’t new; it follows a national trend of people seeking out safe, walkable urban communities.

This week in our cover story (starting on page 14), we look at just how this trend is continuing to evolve.

One of the bigger challenges that faced New Hampshire cities was the lack of downtown living. Yes, people were playing downtown, but few were living there. That has been changing, and a recent development boom in rentals in Manchester, Nashua and Concord has forever changed the livability of our downtowns for the better.

One of the more significant milestones in Manchester’s recent redevelopment was Anthem moving from its suburban campus near the airport to the former Fleet/Bank of America building on the corner of Elm and Bridge streets. This reversed a trend of larger employers leaving the city’s core for Bedford or another suburban town. Add to that the growing staffs of tech firm Dyn and Southern New Hampshire University’s online division and we suddenly had huge numbers of people working in the core. Many of those people wanted to live within walking distance of their jobs.

The trend has not only been prompted by millennials; their parents’ generation has been moving back to cities from the suburbs as well. People whose kids have moved away are selling their suburban homes and moving to apartments or condos in Manchester, Nashua and Concord. Cities all over the country are seeing this.

So what makes a nation just sit up and say, “Hey, I want to live in a city”?

In large part, I believe, it centers around people continuing to self-segregate. Studies show that people who self-identify as more liberal in terms of how they see the world want to be around similar people. Not that this is a perfect comparison, but President Barack Obama won every ward in Nashua in 2008 by wide margins and every ward in Manchester minus the most suburban ward near the airport. In Concord all wards went to Obama. Portsmouth, too, went that way. In fact, every city in New Hampshire went for Obama in 2008. Even in solid red Utah, Salt Lake almost entirely went for Obama.

People can argue about whether this is good or bad, but people tend to live where they feel most comfortable. And a certain segment of America and New Hampshire is feeling more comfortable in cities.

Regardless of the reasoning behind people moving into cities, it’s a trend that looks to continue, and that’s good news for everyone. Cities have always been our economic engines and are becoming more so in an information-based economy.

NEWS & NOTES Statehouse bills

As different versions of similar bills were passed by both the Senate and House chambers recently, negotiation teams began meeting to reconcile the differences in committees.

While some bills find agreements, others fail to move on. The Union Leader reported the drug forfeiture bill was revised by House and Senate negotiators who tied it to a bill that would spend $130,000 to upgrade the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. The idea is to make it less likely Gov. Maggie Hassan will veto the bill by linking it with something she wants to pass. Hassan originally threatened to veto the forfeiture bill, which eliminates the drug forfeiture fund and sends those dollars to the state’s General Fund. Now, she says the two bills are important parts of the effort to combat the substance abuse epidemic.

Negotiators from the House and Senate also agreed on a plan to eliminate free skiing for seniors at Cannon Mountain, New Hampshire’s only state-run ski area.

Under the agreement, seniors will pay $5 for a daily lift ticket and the price will go up by $5 each year until it reaches one third of the standard price. They also agreed on a bill that would create a 10-day waiting period for new residents before they can vote in an election, a bill that would allow beer and liquor to be sold at college stadiums and a bill that would supply $1.5 million in grants for replicating Manchester’s Granite Hammer program in other parts of the state to crack down on drug dealers.

But negotiators failed to reach agreements on drone regulations and banning gay conversion therapy. At issue with the drone bill was a Senate-written exemption from many prohibitions for “legitimate businesses;” the House wanted that provision removed. NHPR reported the conversion therapy bill died without even a discussion because both House and Senate negotiators didn’t want to budge, despite many similarities in the two versions.

Highway plan

Lawmakers from the House and Senate agreed on a 10-year highway improvement plan with a $4 billion price tag. The Union LeadHIPPO | JUNE 2 - 8, 2016 | PAGE 4

er reported the plan didn’t include anything for commuter rail but included funding for the widening of Interstate 93 to four lanes from Salem to Manchester. The committee agreed to go with the Senate’s plan to spend $28 million on paving and construction for the widening project. Meanwhile, the state also accepted $200 million in federal TIFIA grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation that will be used for the Interstate 93 project, paving 1,100 miles of state roads and fixing 23 Red List bridges, according to a press release from Gov. Maggie Hassan’s office.

Class action

Two law firms representing Litchfield residents filed two class action lawsuits against Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, which has a plant in Merrimack. The Union Leader reported the plaintiffs are seeking damages for the trespass, nuisance, loss of enjoyment and property damages in connection with a water contamination believed to have originated from the Merrimack facility. The firms Gottesman and Hollis of Nashua and Hannon Law Firm of Denver, Colorado, filed a suit focused on medical monitoring as a result of exposure to a chemical known as PFOA, used in making Teflon, and another suit seeking a class action complaint and request for jury trial. Meanwhile, the state has begun offering bottled water to homes with wells containing 70 parts per trillion of PFOA, based on the new EPA standard.

Retiring senators

There are eight state senators so far who have announced their intention not to run for reelection this year. NHPR reported Republican Sen. Nancy Stiles of Hampton was the most recent to announce retirement, after 12 years in office.

Republican Sen. Sam Cataldo of Farmington, Republican David Boutin of Hooksett, Democratic Sen. Molly Kelly of Keene and Democratic Sen. David Pierce of Lebanon are also retiring. Republican Jerry Little of Weare is moving on to become the state banking commissioner, Republican Jeanie Forrester of Meredith is running for governor and Republican Russell Prescott of Kensington is running for Executive Council.

Lottery commish

The Executive Council voted to confirm Debra Douglas of Bow for her third term as chair of the New Hampshire Lottery Commission.

The Union Leader reported Douglas was first appointed to the commission in 2009 and was elected chair in 2010. During her tenure, the lottery sales have seen an 18-percent increase, and there has been a 22.3-percent increase in scratch ticket sales. Lottery revenue went from $240 million in 2009 to $283 million in 2015.

Mental hospital

CONCORD

A new war memorial for soldiers fallen during the war on terror was erected and unveiled on May 30 at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen. The Telegraph of Nashua reported a cast of a fallen soldier’s boots served as the model for the image on the obelisk.

The state is collecting address information in Derry to update its E911 system. The Union Leader reported the process involves state officials going to each structure in town and collecting posted addresses.

Residents who live near a Hooksett dumping ground for roadkill in Manchester by the public works department are up Goffstown in arms because animals are not being buried right away. NH1 reported neighbors are complaining that MANCHESTER predatory animals are dragging carcasses out and they fear their pets or children Bedford might be exposed to them.

SPACECRAFT TECH

Bow High School alumna Angela-Marie Conklin is starting a new job at NASA. The Concord Monitor reported Conklin, a recent graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, will head to Cape Canaveral, Florida, in July to work on the Orion as part of a five-person team designing the ship’s control systems.

The Orion is the most advanced spacecraft ever built and is designed to carry a crew deeper into space than humans have ever gone before. The main mission will be to get humans to Mars. It had a successful flight test in 2014. The next anticipated launch is 2018. Conklin credits the opportunity to a lot of hard work and studying in school.

PUPPIES

A crate full of puppies covered in their own urine and feces was dropped off at the New Hampshire Humane Society’s animal shelter in Laconia. The Union Leader reported this group of eight terrier mix pups, 8 to 10 weeks old, were the same breed as a similar crate of puppies reportedly dropped off at the same location last April. The director of the Humane Society said the dogs were filthy, indicating they had been living in squalid conditions probably since birth. While it’s unclear if any laws have been broken at this point, the Laconia Police Department is investigating the two drop offs. Anyone with information about this is asked to call Laconia police.

Impatient patients

After delays, state’s largest medical marijuana dispensary readies to open news@hippopress.com

Sixty-nine-year-old Stanley Kuligowski drinks a strange brew every day.

“Every morning I get up and I make a green tea and I put [in] black pepper and raw cocoa, turmeric, echinacea and mix it all together and drink it just like coffee,” Kuligowski said.

The herbs and spices produce natural phytocannabinoids similar to those found in marijuana. The tea doesn’t get him high, but it does help alleviate some painful symptoms.

When Kuligowski had a stroke, he says, it was like radio transceivers in his brain blew a fuse. His brain lost contact with the entire left side of his body, initially paralyzing it, but little by little, the retired Manchester resident regained some movement.

“I can move somewhat, but I have terrible leg spasms,” Kuligowski said.

Those spasms, left untreated, keep him up at night and can worsen to the point of triggering a full-blown seizure, he said.

“I can’t sleep. It just drives me crazy,” Kuligowski said.

So while his morning regimen includes a bitter, spicy chocolate broth, he also smokes marijuana obtained illegally before going to bed at night.

The way Kuligowski describes it, one of the key active chemicals in cannabis, CBD, acts as a sort of signal booster for his broken transceivers. This allows his legs to keep from spasming.

The alternative would be a prescription pill that does the opposite; it jams the signal entirely. Kuligowski says it knocks him out when he takes the drug, to the point where he loses control of his bowels.

Medical marijuana-based pills, tinctures, salves and transdermal patches with a high CBD-to-THC ratio — THC is the psychoactive chemical in cannabis — are some of the things Prime Alternative Treatment Centers

Prime is expected to serve a much larger cut corners.

“The rental rate was significantly higher at least to cultivate a batch of cannabis. So the thought was they could start cultivating, and [and] the building was not in the shape that

we needed it to be,” Sicklick said.

The president of the Catholic Thomas More College across the street from that building also threatened to protest a dispensary and hinted at pursuing legal action, but Sicklick said that had nothing to do with the decision to find another location.

They settled on a spot at the far end of a small Merrimack strip mall at 380 Daniel Webster Highway. The dispensary itself is going to be next to a nail salon, and the administrative offices and family waiting area will be in a space on the opposite side of the salon.

Dispensary to dispensary

The way things are shaping up, the Merrimack dispensary may be ready to open just as Prime begins the cultivation process, so they won’t have any of their own products ready to sell.

But Sicklick has been prepared for this possibility. He’s been talking with the folks at Sanctuary ATC to buy a portion of their products to sell out of Prime’s dispensary as a temporary solution.

This could start happening in a matter of weeks.

“I think June is realistic and as soon we get our approval for cultivation, that gives us the ability to get our approval for the dispensary location. Then we can potentially purchase product from the other ATCs to provide to our patient base, which is something we are optimistic is going to happen,” Sicklick said.

Martin says the rules allow for inter-dispensary sales, but DHHS would need to approve specific plans.

Prime would then swap out the product with their own in about three months when they’ve finished cultivating a first batch. But until then, Sicklick says, it’s possible the prices for the products may be higher than normal.

Ultimately, Prime is aiming to sell an ounce of marijuana for between $300 and $400.

Patient projections

Of the 588 approved medical marijuana patients to have received cards as of May 20, 138 have signed up for the Merrimack dispensary.

“Oddly enough, the way it’s panning out at this point right now, it’s the North Country that has the most patients, which is something I never expected to see,” Martin said.

There are 208 card-carrying patients connected to the Plymouth dispensary run by Sanctuary, 166 for Temescal’s Dover location and 76 for Lebanon.

There are still hundreds of patients waiting for their applications to be approved or their cards to arrive. More are expected to

apply after Prime is up and running, and some patients getting their marijuana product from Dover may switch to Merrimack after it opens, Martin said.

“It’s going to dramatically increase over the course of the next six to 12 months,” Sicklick said.

Sicklick expects Prime’s patient numbers to reach 500 by the end of the year. His conservative estimate for opening the dispensary is in late June, though it could be sooner.

Still, “soon” can seem like an eternity for Stanley Kuligowski and others like him.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Kuligowski said.

Take shelter

Shelter in place protocols

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

After a man wearing a trench coat shot and wounded two Manchester police officers, police quickly mobilized to create a perimeter around the neighborhood he was last seen in.

The shootings took place around 2 a.m. and 2:30 a.m., according to a press release from the Attorney General’s office. And the man who was ultimately charged with the crime, Ian MacPherson, was in police custody by about 5 a.m.

But it wasn’t until half an hour later that Manchester police issued a “shelter in place” order for the area around Wayne, Putnam and Rimmon streets, advising the public in that part of the city to remain indoors. The reason given was “heavy police activity,” in an email from police notifying the public at the time. An email sent a few minutes earlier announced that, due to a “fluid and ongoing situation,” West Side schools would be closed for the day.

The shelter in place order was lifted five hours later, about 10:20 a.m.

So, with the imminent danger behind them, why did police issue the order, and why did it last so long?

UNH Law Professor Buzz Scherr says police considering a shelter in place order usually look at factors such as the imminence of a threat, the nature of the harm already inflicted and the ability to home in on a discrete geographic region. But ultimately, they don’t need to.

“The reality is there needs to be no set of conditions. Because it’s a request and not an order, police can say it whenever they want to,” Scherr said.

In the case of the shootings in Manchester, Lt. Brian O’Keefe said he can’t discuss the specifics of the ongoing investigation but suggested the possibility that police needed time to confirm they arrested the right man.

He said the public often forgets that investi-

gations are not resolved as quickly and neatly as they may seem to be on television.

In other words, only with the benefit of hindsight do we know that the shelter in place order was perhaps unnecessary. At the time, police could have believed a shooter at-large was still a possibility.

Nashua Police Chief Andrew Lavoie says his department would likely have made the same call had that situation happened in Nashua.

“We would use a shelter in place more like Manchester did, where there was a shooting in a neighborhood, so the last thing they want is hundreds of hundreds of kids spilling out in a dangerous area,” Lavoie said.

He says an officer in charge can make the call, since a chief is not always available, and while Nashua has mostly used it for schools and, most recently, the Boys & Girls Club, that doesn’t mean they can’t use it for residents in their homes as well.

“There’s nothing that requires you to do it a certain way,” Lavoie said.

Lt. Timothy O’Malley in the Concord Police Department agrees.

“It’s not something that is standardized,” O’Malley said. “It’s really case-by-case specific.”

O’Malley said the goal of the order is to isolate a dangerous suspect and at the same time protect the public in areas that are too dense and there’s no safe way to evacuate.

Or, O’Malley said, if an armed suspect stands off with police in a rural home, police may ask the neighbors to temporarily leave their homes for their own safety.

Still, calling for a shelter in place is a request and not an order.

“We’d certainly hope [the public would] take our advice ... but it is just that. It’s called an order, but certainly you have a right to do what you want,” Lavoie said. “We’re not doing it just for the heck of it. It’s a weighty decision that’s being made that certainly has a lot of ramifications. People may miss work and things like that so it’s not something we take lightly.”

We grade insurance companies from a consumer perspective. … [We look at] three things: price, protection — which is claims payment performance — and service. To do that, we use millions of data points that we collect about insurance companies, currently focused on auto insurance line of business but we’ll expand into other lines as well.

What makes you unique from other companies?

If you look at the industry, there’s absolutely no transparency. So what makes us unique is we provide that transparency. The closest thing to transparency in the insurance industry really isn’t what I call transparency at all.

It’s user surveys done by outside companies that get opinions from consumers about what the service is like with different companies. But it’s really filled with gaps and holes because it can’t look at what you really need to look at, which is a company by state rather than a company by national average. They vary a lot from state to state. … They all have to file with the regulators, so there are regulatory filings that … we can access. Insurance commissioners collect data about the companies as well … and some of that they make public. So it’s all high-quality data that we collect from reliable sources.

How did you get the idea for this?

I got hit by a car. The idea didn’t come immediately. … I was in a long recovery and eventually I found out that the health insurance that I had, the auto insurance of the driver who hit me Dan Karr and the loan auto insurance weren’t going to pay all my medical bills.

So I was responsible for almost $100,000 in medical bills and being threatened with action if I didn’t pay them immediately. I thought the whole thing was a mistake. Like, how’s this possible? I have plenty of insurance. I have more insurance than I need. But it didn’t matter, I had to pay. After I got through that whole process, I realized there’s a systemic problem in the way insurance is handled and delivered that’s got to be fixed. So I made a personal vow to myself and I told all my friends and family that I’m going to bring my technology background to bear and I’m going to find a way to solve this problem.

From all the data analysis you did on insurance companies, what are the most interesting things you learned?

One is people think of insurance companies as brand names. In reality, one brand name is a collection of a whole bunch of different companies that all operate differently.

And they don’t only operate differently company to company, they operate differently state to state. So this perception that consumers have of this kind of homogenous industry and having similar characteristics is just completely untrue, and people have no way of What gives you an edge in the market- knowing if they’re completely protected without understanding that. place if this is public info?

One is knowing how to get it, because it’s Do you think this will cause a disruption not that easy to get. That’s part of it. The other is knowing what to do with it after you get in the market?

Transparency is very disruptive to indusit, because it’s a lot of data that comes in disparate forms. And another is knowing how to tries. That will ultimately be the result in the take the … very complex analysis and make insurance industry. It won’t necessarily be like an agent or broker going out of business. it easy for people to understand.

TV show no-go Manchester’s police chief said the city’s officers won’t be featured on the TV show COPS after all, according to an NHPR report; Chief Nick Willard said on a Facebook post Sunday he’d hoped to showcase the professionalism and courage of the city’s police on the long-running reality show in which camera crews ride along with officers, but he said businesses and residents told him they were worried the show would hurt the Queen City’s image.

And speaking of cops...

Recent incidents such as the shooting of two police officers in Manchester are part of a growing problem with gun violence against police nationwide. The Union Leader reported statistics tracked by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund finds that 39 officers have died in the line of duty so far this year, 20 of those caused by firearms. That represents a 33-percent increase in gun-related police deaths over the year prior. Over the years, New Hampshire has lost 45 police officers who were killed in the line of duty, 16 by guns, the most recent being Stephen Arkell in 2014.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: The average age of officers killed is 41, but the last three to be killed in New Hampshire by gunfire were each, coincidentally, 48.

Time to go to the mailbag to see what inquiring minds want to know.

Dear Dave: Now that David Ortiz has the historically automatic 500-plus career homers to get in the Hall of Fame, do you think as a full-time DH he should get in, and regardless of how you feel, do you think he will?

Manknee Rameerez, 2 Steroids Blvd, Key Biscayne, Florida Dear Manknee: Some will say a say a DH is just a part-time player. But it’s the position he was asked to play and he has arguably done it better than anyone ever has.

Second: If fielding is so important, name me one defensive play you’ve ever heard anyone ever mention about Ted Williams.

Ditto for Harmon Killebrew, Ralph Kiner or Reggie Jackson. If it doesn’t matter for them, why should not playing D matter for him? Not to mention if closers who pitch in one stinking inning of their 60 games per year get in, why not a DH? Who’d you rather have, Rollie Fingers or Ortiz? He should be in.

Dear Dave: I just saw a story in the Boston Globe asking where David Ortiz ranks on the all-time list of Red Sox players. What do you think? Bungler P. Dan, Shaughnessy Blvd., New Boston, NH Dear Bungler: Since I think batting average is an overrated stat, I’ll probably shock some by saying an excellent case can be made he’s the greatest Red Sox player ever.

Yes there’s a big difference in the batting average between him and Ted Williams and he was a DH. But, as I just said, it’s not like Ted was renowned for his glove. If it’s Yaz, that’s another story because he was a sensational left fielder who charged balls like the shortstop he once was and a pretty good first basemen to, er, boot! But Papi’s got a giant edge in big hits in big moments and was vital in not just ending the curse but winning again in 2007 and especially 2013.

But with the playoffs radically different he did have more chances than Ted, whose Sox finished a now playoff-worthy second place five times. So it’s possible that edge might be erased. Yaz was a great two-way player and his 1967 was the most inspirational season I’ve ever seen. I’ll go Williams by a whisker over Papi followed by Yaz, with Cy Young, Roger Clemens, Pedro, Manny and Tris Speaker next because they didn’t quite have the Boston longevity of the Top 3.

Dear Dave: What do you think of the 76ers getting the top pick in the NBA draft?

A. David Sturn, 1 Greenbacks Lane, Money Bags, Kentucky Dear A.: It’s one thing deciding to tank for a shot at a once-in-a-generation player when you see it’s hopeless in late February. Though the lottery came into being after Houston did that in 1983 to get Akeem Olajuwon to supposedly prevent tanking going forward. But it’s quite another to basically lose on purpose from opening night on as Philly did for four years on a plan devised by dimwit GM Sam Hinkie. That’s anticompetitive, anti-American and a downright disservice to fans in Philly. If there were a real commissioner who looked out for the game and not a CEO looking out for the owners’ pockets, he would have banned Philly from the 2016 lottery and awarded them the 14th pick because it’s a travesty to reward a team that repeatedly tanked to game the system.

Dear Dave: Do you believe the conspiracy theories floating around NBA circles that the draft was rigged after Dikembe Mutombo tweeted congratulations to Philly four hours before they actually got the first pick?

Dave Deebusher, 22 6th Avenue, Heavens Gate, Hawaii Dear Dave (back at you): The short answer is yes. The long answer is Patrick Ewing to New York in 1985. Akron’s LeBron James to doormat Cleveland in 2004.

The top pick again to moribund Cleveland after LeBron took his talents to South Beach.

Ditto two years later when they were even moribunder after blowing the 2011 pick on Anthony Bennett. And this year the worst team in history magically gets the top pick after the league gets sick of Philly’s tanking act. Not to mention L.A. getting No. 2 in a draft with only two projected stars when the post-Kobe Lakers would be no-hope doormats for years in the nation’s secondlargest TV market. Especially since if they fell below three that pick goes to Philly as part of the ill-fated trade for Steve Nash. I’m a child of Watergate, so I know people are capable of anything, especially in the culture of the NBA created by David Stern.

Dear Dave: You’ve said several times Bill Parcells should be next in the Patriots Hall of Fame. With all the great players that have been part of the team since 2000 and considering the acrimony surrounding his departure, how can you justify putting him before them, especially since his record isn’t much better than .500? Ray Perkins, 27 OC Lane, Wideout, Alabama Dear Ray: First because in football, great team-building coaches are more important than almost any one player except maybe the quarterback. Second, he contradicts his own famous statement, “You are what you record says you are.” That might be true in a given season, but the lifetime record is going to be much higher if you take over winning teams with top talent like Phil Jackson always does, than if your M.O. is turning bottomdwellers into something. Tuna turned the 1-15 Patriots into a Super Bowl team in four years. He picked Drew Bledsoe as the first piece and found Tedy Bruschi, Willie McGinest and Ty Law, who were backbones of the first three Super Bowl-winning teams. He also brought Coach B into the sphere of the owner. So no Tuna, probably no Bill Belichick either. It’s true the ending was classless, but that’s 20 years ago. Time to get over it.

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S PEOPLE, PLACES & OTHER STUFF

Gatorade Award winner The Big Story: Bedford’s Grant Lavigne became the first Bulldog to be named Gatorade Baseball player of the year last week. He earned the honor with a season that after his first 14 games has him hitting a paltry .543 with 21 RBI and six homers, three of which came in one game vs.

Rochester.

Sports 101: Name the player who won the most NBA titles while never playing for the Celtics.

Nyck of Tyme Award: To Trinity’s Mike (is) Etzo for getting the game-winner in the Pioneers’ 10-9 lacrosse win over ConVal with 30 seconds left in a game where he led the way with two goals and two assists.

Babe Ruth Award: To Londonderry’s Ila Brown, who shut out Memorial in a five-inning mercy-rule 16-0 win while also knocking in four runs with two doubles and a three-run homer.

Out-of-Town Scores: Joe Leavitt of Atkinson CC will be heading to the U.S.

The Numbers

7 – goals scored by Avery Drouin as Pinkerton rolled over Hanover 13-5 in NHIAA lacrosse action and got another three scores from Ali Davis.

Sports 101 Answer: The non-Celtic with the most NBA titles is Robert Horry, who won seven with Houston (2), L.A. (3) and San Antonio (2) while earning the nickname Big Shot Bob. On This Date – June 2: An ironic and interconnected day of major events for baseball’s three greatest hitters: 1925 – Yankees great Lou Gehrig begins his streak of 2,130 consecutive games played; 1935 – After a handful of games with the Boston Braves, Gehrig’s Yankees teammate Babe Ruth announces his retirement; 1941 – Gehrig loses his battle with the disease that now bears his name; 1942 – Red Sox star Ted Williams enlists as a U.S. Navy aviator.

he made just $5,000 under the terms of the contract to play for Brooklyn in 1947.

519 – career wins over 48 years for Souhegan’s Bill Dodd after a 14-4 win over ConVal at the start of the week to become the winningest baseball coach in NH high school history.

Ralph Kiner: Pittsburgh Pirates all-timer who won seven straight NL home crowns between 1946 and 1952. Topped 50 homers in a season twice and finished with 369 in a 10-year career that ended prematurely due to back issues. He then went to the booth with the New York Mets, where he lasted until he was 91 in a 61-year broadcast career known for malapropisms such as calling his partner Tim McCarver “Tim MacArthur” and himself “Ralph Koner.”

Reggie Jackson: Slugger who never met a microphone he didn’t love. His famous hitting statement was not quite up to Ted Williams’ “I want to be called the greatest hitter who ever lived,” but Reggie’s “I like hitting better than sex” spoke more directly to the Woodstock generation he played before.

Cy Young: Since he started pitching in 1890 he’s arguably the most forgotten great baseball player in history, even with his name affixed to the award. But the question for folks in an era where pitchers get an IV drip after a taxing 100 pitches to ask is how did he do any of the following: win 511 games, lose 315, win 30+ five times and 20+ eight more times, have 40+ complete games, including 48 in 1892, nine times, throw 400+ innings five times and 300+ 11 more times, including 343 when he was 40! Folks don’t give much thought to the incredible things he did.

A look at the upscale apartment complexes popping up in NH cities

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

New Hampshire’s three largest cities — Manchester, Nashua and Concord — are in the midst of a renaissance of sorts. They’re changing physically, economically and through quality-of-life amenities like restaurants, arts and entertainment venues and vibrant, walkable downtowns.

Naturally, the demand for market-rate downtown housing has grown enormously.

People want to get up, walk to work, go out to eat afterward and then walk home. Or, if they’re closer to retirement age, they want to forget about commutes and lawn care and focus more on experiences.

So, as cities and the businesses withHIPPO | JUNE 2 - 8, 2016 | PAGE 14

in them work to create the kinds of urban living opportunities that people are looking for, building developers, too, have tapped into this demand, and the supply of downtown market-rate housing is growing fast to fit the need.

Downtown Manchester The projects

During the past several years, a couple major projects have been hinting a downtown Manchester market-rate housing boom was possible.

Market rate housing units are rented or owned by people who pay market rent or

paid market value when they bought the property. They contain top-of-the-line amenities and there’s no subsidy, unlike with some affordable housing projects aimed toward alleviating costs and expenses for those with low incomes.

Having more people living downtown in market rate homes can only benefit an economy because they’re more likely to have incomes that allow them to spend money downtown at restaurants, coffee shops and shows.

But of course, before developers build these market rate homes, there have to be people who can and will want to live there.

Manchester Economic Development Director Will Craig said those waters were tested with Brady Sullivan’s lofts in the millyard

and the Residences at Manchester Place.

Now there are lots of players in the mix, and one of the highest-profile projects this year is the Citizens Bank building on Elm Street, which was purchased by Seacoast businessman Bill Binnie last summer. There were at least 10 other substantial offers.

“I think one of the reasons demand was so high is that a great many people — and I’m one of them — think Manchester is on the move. There’s a lot of opportunity and a lot of potential for growth and renewal,” Binnie said via phone. “It’s very hard to find tens of thousands of square feet of empty square footage in the City of Manchester.

They don’t come up that often.”

Binnie said he also liked the building’s location in the heart of the city and its his-

tory as New Hampshire’s first skyscraper.

Its purchase included a 270-space parking garage and courtyard. He said the plan is to convert it into 91 market-rate one- and twobedroom apartments priced between $1,600 and $2,900, depending on square footage and window views. Sizes range from 576 to 872 square feet for one-bedrooms, 753 to 1900 for two-bedrooms. Commercial space on the first floor will be filled by two restaurants and a “nationally-branded well-known franchise coffee shop” on the corner, with Citizens Bank remaining a major tenant.

Tours of the apartments begin this summer and they’ll be ready for move in Nov. 1.

Another high-profile project is the Flats at Hanover Commons at 235 Hanover St. by Elm Grove Companies, which is halfway through completion with a slated August finish. The 32 units in the Flats will be tiny, between 280 and 410 square feet, but they’ll feature high-end amenities like granite countertops and smart furnishings, plus on-site bike storage, a fitness center, cafe, courtyard and rooftop solar panels.

And, last but not least, a little farther from the city center but still downtown, SMC Management Corporation is planning a few projects in the Queen City (and one in Nashua). One is the Riverwalk Apartments, a three-building, 150-apartment complex near Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, which will be completed one at a time, said Stephen Chapman, principal partner at

IRS

SMC Management Corporation — the first will be finished in September, the second October, the last in December. Units will be studios, one- and two-bedrooms ranging in size from 700 to 1,100 square feet, with amenities like a business and fitness center.

Construction began six months ago.

SMC has also owned the Sundial Center, the mill complex of the former McElwain shoe mill built in the early 1910s, since 1986, and it received approval to convert the former Mount Washington College dorm into 87 apartments, and to build and lease another 48 upscale apartments in an adjacent lot.

“We think there’s a robust demand, and we’re phasing the delivery of the units to keep up with the supply of interested people,” Chapman said via phone.

Who’s moving in

Property owners interviewed, for the most part, said that the demographic moving into their downtown Manchester properties is varied, but most mentioned baby boomers, high-income professionals, millennials and out-of-staters.

The Elm Grove Companies project in particular is designed with young professionals in mind, and the marketing plan reflects this.

“Typically we’d wait for it to be done and then have the apartments become available and get rented. In this case, we are putting together some great marketing material, and

at the end of the month, we’ll be engaging with companies to try to master lease some number of units in advance,” said Elm Grove Companies CEO Newton Kershaw via phone.

Part of the aim is to draw more young talent to the city.

“I haven’t had anyone tell me they won’t work for SilverTech because they can’t find an apartment. But I will say that the employees I talk to, the young professionals under 30, are dissatisfied with the amount of quality housing stock in downtown Manchester,” said Gray Chynoweth, SilverTech executive vice president and COO.

When Chynoweth himself moved to Manchester in 2004 after law school, he was disappointed with what was available.

“You saw some good options popping up outside the city … but downtown, at the urban core, there were very limited high-quality options at a reasonable cost,” Chynoweth said.

The Flats represents the kind of place Chynoweth would have liked at the time because of its proximity to downtown, high-end amenities, compactness and efficiency (complete with solar panels) and, most importantly, its price, with studios going for less than $1,000. It’s a model that

Kershaw said has succeeded nationally and internationally but hasn’t really been implemented in New Hampshire just yet.

“It fills in a super important niche for the professionals coming out of college or who are early in their careers, who are coming into Manchester wanting a nice, modern place to live with amenities that are designed for the urban experience and millennial taste,” Chynoweth said.

Chynoweth said that whenever he’s recruiting, he’s not only pitching SilverTech, he’s also pitching Manchester’s strengths. It used to be the millyard tech hub he emphasized, but now it can be cool downtown housing. The Flats’ millennial identity will be furthered with Stay Work Play moving in as an office tenant.

Chapman said via phone he thought the entire apartment living demographic was changing.

“It used to be that people lived in apartments because they couldn’t swing a down payment to buy a house. But now upperclass apartment living is a lifestyle choice.

That’s what’s creating a demand now, and there aren’t enough Class A apartments yet in New Hampshire,” Chapman said.

He also credited the demand to big companies that moved up here, like Cigna and Fidelity, and the growing hospitals and medical centers that get turnover every May and June with interns and residents coming in from all over the country.

Norri Oberlander, property manager at the Pembroke Building, said that about half of her building tenants are young professionals in their 30s, the other half baby boomers or divorcees. Ninety percent, she said, are from out of state. Most people relocate into her apartments because they get a job nearby — at Dyn, Deka, Velcro, even companies outside of Manchester, like Fidelity.

“I think if somebody’s applying to Dyn or Deka, or any of these major companies, the first thing they do is check out downtown.

When you don’t know anybody, you want to be walking distance to different places,” Oberlander said. “You want to be where everything is happening.”

David Preese, executive director of the Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission, said he also saw baby boomers trickling toward downtown to relinquish the responsibility of home ownership.

“The boomers are getting older, and if they can sell their houses, they’re looking for areas where they can have access to services. … They’re looking for areas where they can again be close to where the action is and where the jobs, restaurants and coffee places are,” Preese said.

And, to be frank, Preese suspects many boomers are also trying to avoid the alternative — senior communities, or what he calls “55-plus ghettos.”

“They’re out in the suburbs, and you have to get in your car to go somewhere, and believe me, that’s the last thing you want to do,” Preese said. “I had family in their 80s and early 90s move into one of these senior apartment complexes. … The biggest complaint was that there are too many old people!”

Working with the city

The City of Manchester has its challenges for developers — New Hampshire’s not a state with a lot of hard financial incentives, Craig said — but developers and people with the city noted there have been improvements. For example, Craig said, the city decided to relax zoning requirements in the millyard in the mid-’90s to make development easier. He also said the Chamber of Commerce is in the midst of working with city officials and developers to create a general dialogue about the hard incentives they find useful in development, and how the city can do better. Craig also pushed for RSA79E to be re-adopted in Manchester in 2014, a tax break that, if the municipality agrees, allows developers to pay taxes on a historic building on the pre-developed value for an allotted period. He said both the Citizens Bank and Hanover Commons project have utilized it.

Developers of both large and small projects whose work began within the past two years said there was great ease in working

The first big market-rate housing project in Concord was The Endicott Hotel, completed in 2013, a historic renovation by CATCH Neighborhood Housing. It comprises 24 market-rate units and is located in the heart of downtown at the corner of South Main and Pleasant Street. Rent prices range from $975 to $1,350. The one- and two-bedroom apartments, ranging from 475 to 975 square feet, filled within three months of completion — and this was before the Complete Streets Improvement Project was even a thing.

“Nobody had done a market-rate housing project really in downtown Concord since the mid-1980s. Somebody had to go first to prove it would work,” said Matt Walsh, director of redevelopment, downtown services and special projects for the City of Concord.

Today, there are two major downtown Concord market-rate housing projects in development. One is Remi’s Block, which, located at the corner of North Main Street and Loudon Road, will comprise 20 twobedroom market-rate apartments and three commercial storefronts. Developer Remi Hinxhia recently started construction after securing loans from the city and Sugar River and Merrimack County Savings Banks, according to the Concord Monitor. The 32 upstairs apartments traditionally housed low-income tenants and squatters.

The other major project in development is Bienvenue, led by Jon Chorlian, who is reconfiguring the Sacred Heart Church, a Gothic structure built from stone across the street from the federal court house on Pleasant Street, into 10 high-end condominiums sized between 1,700 and 2,000 square feet, which will sell for between $300,000 and $400,000. Chorlian hopes the name will underscore the building’s new chapter (translating to “Welcome,” to go with the building’s French-Canadian tradition, according to the brochure). Renovations start in July with completion slated for April 2017.

Historically, most of the downtown housing in Concord has been subsidized, partly because of the financing tools available to develop that kind of housing, Walsh said.

Downtown buildings are typically pricy, older historic properties that, as a result, are expensive to renovate. The Endicott Hotel, for example, was also previously made up of subsidized housing.

But Walsh and City Councilor Byron Champlin are optimistic about the projects going forward and the potential they bring.

“One of the images Remi threw out when he appeared before the planning board was people sitting on a balcony, across from the State House, having coffee in the morning, then sitting there in the evening and having a glass of wine.”

Manchester’s still a city most developers see as a place where you want to have a car. Manchester city planners said during an interview at City Hall that all major projects right now have parking incorporated in some way — except for the Flats at Hanover Commons. They’re anxious to see how well those units fill up. Its success could change the game for future developers.

Kershaw didn’t seem worried; he said the apartments are a four-minute walk to Elm Street and the Victory Garage. Also within reasonable walking distance is Market Basket. Because he expects tenants will be millennials — perhaps with student loans to their names — he suspects many will choose to work downtown and opt out of a car.

Kershaw’s also been putting a lot of outside effort in drawing people to the living space. The company hosted a chalk art competition with Studio 550 last fall in Bronstein Park adjacent to the property, and he’s been working with individuals in the city (like New Hampshire Institute of Art President Kent Devereaux) to brand this neighborhood as Manchester’s cultural district.

Getting more people to live downtown, he said, will only benefit its businesses.

“I think the type of people that will be attracted to this [project] will have more disposable income, and that’s a benefit to area businesses. People will spend more time in retail, at restaurants,” Kershaw said.

with planners.

“There are a lot of things [the city] could do to make it easier. But in our case, the complexity of the project is the biggest challenge, not the city,” Binnie said.

Indeed, when you have to work on projects involving very old buildings, you don’t always know what’s going on between walls. Craig said the city has a large collection of records that go back far, but sometimes those original building plans aren’t available.

But Chapman said the overall process takes longer in New Hampshire than in, for example, Houston, where his company has worked before. There’s so much history, so many things to work around. In Houston, there are constantly new apartments being built.

“The permitting process [in southern New Hampshire] is grueling. Lots of people are already living in these communities, and they don’t want change. Which is why, when someone does have permits and approvals, they’ve created value in that dirt even though there’s nothing there yet,” Chapman said.

On the bright side, it means less competition on his end. And the deliberate process means people in the city care about what’s happening in it.

HIPPO | JUNE 2 - 8, 2016 | PAGE 17

They’re market rate units, he said, and they’ll be filled with people with a disposable income.

“It would be a very positive thing for the city,” Champlin said.

Who’s moving in

In Concord, it’s mostly baby boomers.

This is according to Chorlian, a lawyerturned real estate developer who’s worked on a handful of smaller projects in Concord’s West End before this one. Most of his buyers were people downsizing, moving less than a mile from a large home to a smaller one.

As a developer, he likes seeing the transformation of a building, and with the Sacred Heart Church, complete with enormous stained glass windows and high-arching ceilings, he and architect John Jordan have their work cut out for them.

Chorlian said his developments naturally fit better with baby boomers because they’re more likely to spend $300,000 to $400,000 on a condo than a young professional due to price. And in Concord, condos over apartments just make more sense.

“These rehab projects are so brutally expensive. And while it sounds like a lot of money to pay $1,600 a month for an apartment, that’s not nearly enough money to support the development of a luxury-quality unit. It just isn’t — $2,600 might be, but the people who want to pay $2,600 a month for an apartment are few and far between here,” Chorlian said during an interview at the church. “If we had a mill building in Concord where I could do 80 units, maybe the economics would make more sense. But in a Gothic church, you’d lose money. … If you Google ‘converted churches,’ you will see a bunch of examples of this being done.

What you won’t find is one where the median house price in the community is where Concord’s is.”

Chorlian’s seen a lot of demand for Bienvenue, but unlike with his other projects, he said a third of interested parties are from Concord, a third are from the Greater Concord area — Bow, Hopkinton, Canterbury — and a third are from considerable distances, as far as halfway across the country.

“To sort of slightly over-generalize, their feedback tends to be, ‘We’re town shopping before we’re looking for a piece of property. We’re looking for a com-

HIPPO | JUNE 2 - 8, 2016 | PAGE 18

munity that has the right sort of feel. And Concord, with this new Main Street, that has a nice feel, a nice balance of culture and activity.’... And that’s been a very encouraging thing,” Chorlian said. “Concord’s downtown has gotten to the point where it’s probably enough of a hook itself, a place where people would want to live.”

Rosemary Heard, president and CEO of CATCH, and its VP of real estate development, Caite Foley, said via phone the people who moved into the Endicott Hotel are a mixed demographic, made up of older and younger professionals. But unlike the Flats at Hanover Commons, there aren’t any developments targeted specifically to millennials.

“I think the whole idea of market-rate housing means they’re going to be filled by people who are professionals and working. One of the challenges is, what do we do about millennials? How do we also provide housing options for people in the early stages of their professions? I don’t know that’s a nut we’ve solved yet in Concord,” Champlin said. “There are lots of people who work in Concord but live in Manchester. …

I would like to see more housing that aligns with their pocketbooks and where they are in their life.”

Spurring development

Chorlian is also optimistic about the future of downtown Concord living, mostly because of the Complete Streets Project, which is setting the stage for a more vital downtown.

“There are a lot of things that other people have done in the last decade to make these things possible and they deserve a lot of the credit,” Chorlian said. “The developers who have done a lot of downtown redevelopment in Concord, for one — and then the businesses and institutions that have relocated or started up in downtown Concord.

Red River Theatres, the Capitol Center for the Arts — you wouldn’t see projects like this if it weren’t for those things.”

Walsh and Champlin said the city is working hard to further incentivize downtown development, with a revolving loan program, which both the Endicott Hotel and Remi’s Block used and more relaxed standards for historic building code. Both the Endicott Hotel and Remi’s Block utilized tax incentives like RSA-79E, and downtown, there’s also the opportunity to waive residential and school impact fees that other new developments might have to pay, which Walsh reasons is because most downtown projects involve moving into spaces already there.

These are all things that help, but Chorlian says demand is king.

“There’s a lot of talk of, ‘Oh jeez, is your city hard to develop in? Does it make it hard on the developer?’ Honestly, there are a lot of steps. There’s a whole process that is involved in development,” Chorlian said. “But it boils down to, if there’s the demand for the product and you can deliver that at a cost structure where you can sell it at a price that’s higher than the price to buy the thing and do the construction, you’ll see people will persevere and battle their way through it.”

Capital challenges

“One of the challenges that I think every historic downtown has is the price tag involved [with market-rate housing development], and that’s part of the math of deciding whether or not to make an upper-story space, for example, into a residential space,” Champlin said.

Chorlian agreed.

“It’s a lot easier to figure out how much it costs to build a building from scratch on a blank piece of land than just to figure out how much it costs to turn an existing building into something else,” Chorlian said.

The Endicott Hotel wasn’t so bad because CATCH already owned the building when

it was made up of subsidized housing. Its changes didn’t need to be enormous because it was already suitable for residential living.

There’s plenty of room for more Main Street development in the upper stories of buildings whose bottom floor is used for commercial purposes, but the other problem is that these properties are owned by a small number of people whose inclination is not to develop them into housing.

“Some of these buildings have been owned by two or three generations. Some of these property owners are reluctant to sell off any of these buildings because of family pride.

Some of them are not comfortable with residential and are just comfortable with office tenants. They’re worried about phone calls in the middle of the night,” Walsh said.

Downtown Nashua The projects

The most recent successful apartments project in downtown Nashua was The Apartments at Cotton Mill, which opened in 2014 and contain studio, one- and twobedroom units that range in size from 600 to 1,500 square feet. Prices range from about $1,200 to $1,900. Apartments filled fast.

Tom Galligani, former economic development director with the city, said during an interview last summer that downtown market-rate housing development had been slow going because it seemed developers were uncertain about demand, so most of the market-rate housing developments were smaller ones until the Cotton Mill project was completed.

“When you get these larger projects … it demonstrates to others it’s safe to invest in a given area,” said Nashua Downtown Specialist James Vayo via phone.

It’s likely the Cotton Mill apartments will be getting new neighbors; last fall, a developer connected with the Clocktower Place set an agreement to purchase the Picker Building with the goal of transforming it into market-rate apartments. The developer is part of a new company yet to be named, and Nashua attorney Andrew Prolman confirmed via phone the same architectural firm that designed the Clocktower Place apartments will design the building plans for the Picker Building. The goal is to present these plans to the City of Nashua this fall.

Prolman said they’ll likely be smaller apartments with smaller price points compared to other mill apartments in Nashua.

And, right down the street, a company affiliated with Brady Sullivan Properties — Lofts 34 LLC — also acquired a long, vacant, 310,000-square-foot, 19th-century mill building on Franklin Street last summer, according to reports from The Telegraph and New Hampshire Business Review, for $100,000, though the company could not be reached for comment on its specific plans. The Union Leader reported it

would be renovated into 175 one- and twobedroom apartments and include parking.

SMC Management Corporation also has its eyes on Nashua at the Residencies at Riverfront Landing, with 228 units of Class A apartments, with apartment plans similar to those in the company’s other development projects. Chapman said he expects construction to begin in July.

Who’s moving in

Clocktower Place senior property manager Tia Phillips said these apartments contain lots of young professionals who work at nearby companies and newly retired people who liked the downtown living experience.

“I’ve seen a fair amount of people considering that option because of the convenience that apartment building gives,” Phillips said.

“You don’t have to do your shoveling, your lawn care, all those things that go along with owning a house.”

Vanessa Roy, property manager at The Apartments at Cotton Mill, said the apartments draw both high- and low- income families and individuals because of an affordable rental tax credit program.

“Cotton Mill is an interesting project because it really appeals to both user groups. There’s an affordable component to that building, and that’s a tricky thing to execute,” Vayo said. “What Brady Sullivan is doing in the Franklin Street Mill, depending on what amenities are in the building, may also appeal to different user groups.”

But the city could certainly use more variety, Vayo said.

“Somebody who’s downsizing from a single-family home into something downtown is likely looking for a condo rather than a place to rent, and there’s little product like that [in Nashua’s] downtown,” he said.

Potential for more

People with the City of Nashua are now aware of this demand for more downtown housing — and also the importance of drawing people downtown — which is why they created a new position in the mayor’s office, the downtown specialist, which Vayo holds.

Vayo noted several exciting sites via phone that could house more people downtown, from Railroad Square to the Tree Streets neighborhood. There’s plenty of potential.

“There are buildings that are vacant that could be demolished and redeveloped,” Vayo said.

Just as in any city, there exist challenges around parking, which could be solved with innovative development designs, but he said the City of Nashua has zoning that allows for flexible consideration of parking.

“The market can decide whether or not to bundle parking with development. ... I don’t think people are moving to eliminate car ownership. … But one of the benefits that downtowns have [is that] you can have two people who only need one car.”

ARTS Moving show

Rajotte talks about NH premiere, Billy Elliot

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

When Palace Theatre Artistic Director Carl Rajotte saw Billy Elliot on Broadway for the first time, it moved him more than any musical had in years.

“It did something to me,” Rajotte said.

“I think I’d been disappointed in shows I’d seen before that for quite a few years. I knew that, as soon as I could, I wanted to do it.”

The rights only recently became available to regional theaters, and when they did, he pounced, securing Manchester’s hold on it starting this weekend. Three weeks before showtime, he talked about the story, its significance, and the quest to find Billy.

The story

Billy Elliot: The Musical is based on the 2000 film, with music by Elton John and lyrics and book by Lee Hall, who also wrote the film’s screenplay. It premiered at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London’s West End in 2005 and was nominated for nine Laurence Olivier Awards and won four, including Best New Musical, in 2006.

The plot revolves around a motherless boy named Billy who secretly trades in his boxing gloves for dance shoes, unbeknownst to his dad and brother, who are in the midst of community strife caused by the 1984-1985 UK miners’ strike in County Durham, North East England. He struggles See Billy Elliot Where: Palace Theatre, 80 Hanover St., Manchester When: Showtimes this weekend include Friday, June 3, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, June 4, at 2 and 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, June 5, at 2 p.m. The show runs through June 25.

in deciding whether he should fulfill societal expectations or follow his dream of becoming a dancer.

Rajotte connected to the show through his own experiences.

“It’s about a boy dancer, which is how I grew up — as a boy dancer, having to deal with maybe not fulfilling expectations of what the family thinks a boy should be doing,” Rajotte said. “I dealt with that at just about the same time period, when I was 10, 11 years old. That’s the exact time when this show takes place. I really connected with the expectations of that time period, of what little boys should be doing, which is baseball and football and all that.”

For this production, Rajotte has designed his own choreography and is re-interpreting one of the musical’s dream scenes. Sets will also include video projector work, includ- Jamie Mann.

Mann, who lives in Westport, Connecticut, and trains at the School of American Ballet Finding Billy On the quest to find Billy, Rajotte held in New York City, was fresh off performing auditions in New York City and at the Pal- Billy Elliot at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre in ace Theatre in Manchester and took video Florida and the Company Theatre in Norsubmissions. He filled some ensemble well, Massachusetts.

“Before we got [Jamie’s] submission, I parts, but Billy was nowhere to be found.

It’s a difficult role to fill. You need to was not happy with the cast we could put find a boy at just the right age — between together,” Rajotte said. “Yes, Billy has to 9 and 13 or so — who can sing, act and and dance and has to have great technique, but dance phenomenally, and still be mature I wanted to make sure he was a good actor enough to handle the full weight of star- because he is the show. He’s onstage all the ring in a professional production. Most kids time.”

Rajotte also struggled filling the role of that age are in school all day, which doesn’t work for the Palace’s two-week production Billy’s dance teacher.

“Here she is in a coal mining town. She’s process. And, because they’re still just kids, they can’t travel by themselves; the show not going anywhere, and she understands that. She’s actually a little bit down in the requires a parental sacrifice too.

“We actually almost canceled the show,” dumps about what’s going on with her life Rajotte said. “So many kids are in school at the moment but finds a flame, a fire in a full time and so, within a 200-mile radius, student that re-ignites her energy as a teachwe couldn’t find anyone who could come er. She wants to give everything she has to this kid. And it’s not to make her leave town here and continue to do school.”

for her to help him go do something, get out of here and have a great life,” Rajotte said.

Rajotte found her while scrolling through his Facebook friends and messaged a woman he used to perform with back in his college days, singing and dancing at Hershey Park, Pennsylvania.

Meet Billy

Mann, sporting shaggy blond hair, arrived at the Palace Theatre a week before the rest of the cast.

Mann’s the 118th young actor in the world to hold the Billy Elliot role. He’s homeschooled by his mom, and during the rehearsal process, they’re staying in a nearby hotel, though they’ll go back to Connecticut during the Monday-throughFriday run. He saw the musical on Broadway when he was 7, before he’d ever taken a dance lesson.

“I remember sitting there and looking up at the stage and being like, ‘I want to do that. That sounds really fun,’” Mann said.

Even then, the title role didn’t seem so far off; it seemed more plausible than traditional sports, anyway, which he’d given up on in first grade when he scored for the wrong team at a soccer game. He remembers asking his mom about the swear word Billy yells.

“I was like, ‘Mom, if I were able to do this show, would I be allowed to say that word?’” Mann said. (“Only when you’re practicing,” she told him.)

Mann and Rajotte love the show, and they think it’s relatable to anyone who’s lost a loved one or who’s found passion in something friends and family can’t understand.

“I think it will be one of the most moving shows we’ve done in quite a few seasons.

We’ve done a lot of fun shows this year.

Comedy. Fluff. Rock and roll shows. This is definitely a moving story, and there’s lots of comedy in it, but it pulls at your heartstrings,” Rajotte said.

• Musical adaptation by NH director: Seacoast Repertory Theatre Artistic Director Miles Burns has written a musical adaptation of Hansel and Gretel, which will be performed at The Players’ Ring, 105 Marcy St., Portsmouth, on Thursday, June 2, at 8 p.m.; Saturday, June 4, at 3 p.m.; Sunday, June 5, at 3 p.m.; Thursday, June 9, at 8 p.m.; and Saturday, June 11, at 3 p.m.

The play, according to the press release, reveals a little more about Hansel and Gretel’s mother, father and stepmother and the witch, and demonstrates that though everyone gets lost, not everyone gets a trail of breadcrumbs to follow home.

“I wanted to write an adaptation of Hansel and Gretel which focused more on the reciprocal effects involving the mistreatment or manipulation of another human being during childhood or otherwise,” Burns said in a press release. “What the Players’ Ring does for local playwrights gives us this chance. It’s hard to get your work read, but if you have an idea and you want to see it come to life, the Players’ Ring is one of your only options. We are lucky to have this theater in our community.”

The play features book, music and lyrics

by Burns and is produced by The Seacoast Repertory Theatre. It’s a darker story, suitable for people 13 and older. Tickets are $15. Visit playersring.org or call 436-8123.

Not everyone considers street graffiti and tattoo work art, which is one of the reasons Top Shelf Tattoo Gallery owner Jef Lessard was interested in partnering with Studio 550 owner Monica Leap for the art center’s latest show, “Outside In: Graffiti Art in the Gallery,” on view June 3 through June 29.

Lessard, who is in the midst of proposing mural artwork for the skate park in town, said there are a lot of misconceptions about graffiti art. The tattoo shop has murals all over its walls, indoors and outside, and has collaborated and painted murals for other businesses. Once, a group of onlookers called the cops when he was painting on the shop’s wall late in the afternoon.

“They automatically assumed it was done in a vandalist manner,” he said during an interview at the gallery. “But done right, [outdoor art] makes a place much nicer to be in, nicer to look at.”

Leap said she’s always looking for opportunities to showcase community artwork and partner with local organizations and businesses. She particularly favors shows and pieces not often seen in traditional galleries.

“We thought it would be interesting and non-traditional to put street art and graffiti on the gallery walls. Graffiti gets a bad

name because there are so many awful taggers around,” Leap said in an email.

But most people, she said, can appreciate a well-made piece of street art that’s not vandalistic, that is splashed on a wall with permission and art in mind. She anticipates the pieces made by Top Shelf Tattoo Gallery artists will look right at home on Studio 550’s exposed brick gallery walls.

Leap and Lessard met shortly after he started Top Shelf Tattoo in 2013, when he stopped in the studio to meet his neighbor. They talked and learned that, in a way, they had similar missions, despite that hers was focused mostly on ceramics, his on tattoo art. Both aimed to bring together a community of artists within their respective businesses, she through gallery shows, classes and events, and he through mixed media art in the shop and music shows on weekends.

The Top Shelf Tattoo Gallery was incredibly colorful during a recent visit. The first-floor entrance featured mural artwork and skateboards with bright, primary color designs. Framed pieces lined the crimson walls, and a shelf of pop culture figurines greeted customers at the entrance.

Lessard and fellow tattoo artist Kat Seluk had few spray painted pieces hanging in the back room. One illustrated a spraying fire hydrant against a violet cityscape. It was painted on a collection of square canvases secured together. Another smaller piece had the beginnings of an Elm Street sign, and another had the outlines of a mailbox.

The other thing about graffiti art, he said, is that people are less inclined to tag it than blank walls.

“It’s the same thing with my building.

Whenever my piece goes up, nobody tags it,” he said.

You can watch a Latin dance performance, sample Nepalese dumplings, make origami and more at the “Nashua Goes M.A.D” Multicultural Awareness Day on Saturday, June 4, at Greeley Park.

The event, organized by the Emerging Leaders in Communities of Color Class of 2016, kicks off Nashua’s SummerFun series and celebrates the city’s cultural diversity.

“I think the demographic in New Hampshire is changing,” said Yemi Mahoney, ELCC program coordinator. “We are becoming a more diverse state overall, and Nashua is definitely one of the communities where diversity is increasing.

It’s important for people to realize that, so this is an opportunity for them to learn about those different cultures.”

There will be about 20 tables hosted by community cultural organizations and resources as well as individuals who have moved here from or share a cultural heritage with other countries.

The countries represented will include Kenya, Ukraine, Japan, China, India, Cambodia and many “Nashua Goes M.A.D” Multicultural Awareness Day Where: Greeley Park, 100 Concord St., Nashua When: Saturday, June 4, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Visitors can try cuisine from around the world, including Nepalese momo dumplings, Honduran enchiladas and Brazilian cheese bread.

Many of the tables will also have hands-on activities and crafts that relate to their cultures, such as flagmaking, card and tabletop games, origami, calligraphy and more.

“I think it’s affirming for people to be able to show who they are and where they’re coming from,” Mahoney said. “It’s something unifying. We all come from different backgrounds, but we’re all part of this community, living and working together.”

Butterflies are the poster children of the environmental movement. Everybody loves them and wants to see them thrive. But do you know what you can do to help? It’s quite simple, really. For starters, make sure that your environment includes a wide variety of plants that supply nectar and pollen. And even city dwellers can help.

Let’s say you don’t have a garden, or that you have limited time and/or space. Or you just have a lawn. You can start by planting some annual flowers in a pot or buying a hanging planter at the garden center. Most planters sold are full of gorgeous flowers that will bloom all summer. All you have to do is water them.

If watering is too much trouble, transfer your purchased plants into a “self-watering” container. These are pots that have a water reservoir in the base that will allow water to wick up to the plants in the container. Get one about the same size as your purchased planter, along with some potting soil. The potting soil should fill in extra space if your self-watering container is larger than the hanging pot. Once you have it set up, you will just need to fill the reservoir once a week.

Another thing that anyone can do is buy a bird bath. Yes, a bird bath can be useful for butterflies, too. They need a regular source of water.

Butterflies love the minerals found in water in mud puddles, so you could dig a little hole and keep it full for them. Maybe your dog, if she’s like mine, will wallow in it, too. Hmmm… .

I have a bird bath that is never used by birds, even after I put stones in the middle for them to perch on. Why? Someone finally pointed out to me that I have a stream just 50 feet from the bath, which is more inviting for the birds. But I like the looks of the blue ceramic bird bath, which I now call my ”butterfly bath.”

What else can you do? Start by swearing off pesticides. I know it’s easy to spray Japanese beetles or potato beetles, but chemicals that kill one kind of bug will kill others, including butterflies and the caterpillars that become butterflies. So hand-pick your pests, or agree to let them live. Many insect pests have a short life span and aren’t really as bad as you might think.

Hiking through France I have often been struck by the number and variety of birds, butterflies and pollinators along the trail. I attribute that to the fact that farmers in France allow hedgerows to separate farm fields.

Flowering plants like hawthorns, blackberries and wild cherries are not mowed down, but allowed to grow — and provide space for birds and insects to nest in and thrive.

Butterfly Bush. Courtesy photo.

Here in America President Nixon’s Secretary of Agriculture, Earl Butz, told farmers to “get big or get out,” encouraging them to plant commodity crops every square inch, “fencerow to fencerow.” That policy has affected our birds and butterflies over the years. But on a small scale, we can allow native plants to grow and blossom along our property lines.

Leave wild spaces wherever you can.

If you want more butterflies, think first about the caterpillars that will become butterflies. What do they like? Dill and fennel are among the best plants for many species.

Hollyhocks, lupine, milkweed and butterfly weed, thistles and willows are all good for caterpillars of various sorts.

Then, for nectar and pollen, think about creating a garden that blooms from early spring to late fall. Annual flowers are great because most will do just that. Alyssum, calendula, cosmos, marigolds, nasturtiums, pansies, verbenas and zinnias are some that are especially good.

Of the perennial flowers, here are some good ones: asters, bee balm, day lilies, delphinium, dianthus, globe thistle, hollyhocks, Joe Pye weed, lavender, liatris (gayfeather), oregano, phlox, purple coneflower, sage, scabiosa, sedums, Shasta daisy and yarrow.

Weeds are good for butterflies, too. You know milkweed is beloved by monarchs.

Queen Anne’s lace is loved by many. Toward fall I often see goldenrod just full of bees and butterflies. And not all goldenrod is 5 feet tall and aggressive. You can actually purchase tidy ones like Fireworks or a small shade-loving one, Solidago caesia.

The very best plant for butterflies is probably butterfly bush. This is a shrub that is generally hardy only to Zone 5, meaning that temperatures colder than minus 20 will kill it.

But it often will survive in Zone 4, just dying back to the ground each year, but blooming late in the summer. It can be a large shrub, but there are smaller varieties, too.

Remember: butterflies and bees need nectar or pollen, from spring dandelions to late fall-blooming witchhazel.

Dear Celeste, What you have is a corner curio shelf. They were very popular after the turn of century (1900) and most homes had one. Because of the size and being able to fit into a corner, they were not just decorative but useful as well.

Most are just like yours. Some are much more elaborate and fancy, but the ones you see commonly are just like the one you found. Usually the wood is a walnut or mahogany.

The value on them today is tough because they just don’t seem to fit into the decor. But

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Reader is all out of ideas about mystery noise

By Ray Magliozzi

Dear Car Talk: In hot weather, I occasionally hear a very loud horn-like sound when I drive at 65 mph or higher. The noise appears to be on the passenger side, toward the front of the car.

The local Honda dealer and a local mechanic have checked belts, windows, sunroof and the hood latch. It seems to happen only when I am driving on a curve, and it will stop if I slow to less than 65 mph. I need your help. Thanks.

— Maggie Well, since you’ve had several mechanics look at this, I’m going to make two assumptions. Well, three, actually.

Assumption One is that the mechanics have heard the noise.

Assumption Two is that once they’ve heard the noise, they’ve ruled out something dangerous, like a failing wheel bearing, and they’re convinced it’s more likely a wind noise, which explains the stuff they’ve checked so far.

And Assumption Three is that, since two shops have already been all over the car, I have no chance of figuring it out.

Back in the old days when a customer had a problem like this, we’d strap my brother to the hood of the car and then go for a drive and try to reproduce the sound. When we got back to the shop, we’d take the leaves out of his mouth, and ask him which direction the noise was coming from.

There’s a more modern-day version of that: We have a tool at the garage that has a bunch of small, wireless microphones that attach with hook-and-loop tape straps, suction cups or magnets.

With that tool, we can attach a bunch of sensors to various parts of the car and then drive the car, tuning in to one mic at a time. That allows us to home in on the exact location of the sound. That in itself doesn’t solve the problem, but it at least

narrows it down and gives us a fighting chance.

My first guess on something like this — although it’s just a guess — would be a bad windshield seal. As the speed of the car increases, the body flexes more.

And when you make a turn at 65 mph, the windshield opening may be flexing just enough to move the windshield gasket or seal and create a wind noise.

So here’s what I’d do: First, I’d ask your dealer to confirm that he’s ruled out anything dangerous, like a wheel bearing. Then I’d look for a shop that has one of the listening devices Imentioned earlier. Like NSA Motors.

And then try out some theories. Put a couple of microphones around the perimeter of the windshield, and see if the noise is very loud near one of them.

Or you can do it yourself by duct-taping your iPhone on there ... as long as you have the dropped-phone replacement coverage. Good luck, Maggie.

Dear Car Talk: If you drive one of the new plug-in hybrids or a gas/electric hybrid on pure electric for an extended period — say, six months or so — is it possible for the

gasoline in said hybrid to go “bad”? I’m guessing not, that the movement of the car would keep the fuel mixed and not let it separate (or whatever happens to old fuel). Thanks! — Ed Theoretically, the gasoline can go bad.

Condensation can build up in the gas tank, and if gasoline sits long enough, it can break down and create varnishes, which can clog fuel injectors.

But manufacturers have anticipated the problem. In the Chevy Volt, for instance, if you’ve been driving on nothing but electric power for six weeks, the car will go into maintenance mode and run the engine for a short period of time.

That removes vapors and condensation, and keeps the engine lubricated.

If you manage to go a whole year without using the gasoline engine, the engine will automatically run until the tank is empty — or until you refill it with fresh gas.

Toyota has a similar system for its plug-in hybrids.

Bottom line: Don’t worry; be happy, Ed. Visit Cartalk.com.

How much does your cell phone service cost? The answer might be more complicated than you think.

Many factors influence just how expensive a smartphone with data service can be. Carriers have been phasing out traditional two-year contracts, but that often makes comparison shopping more challenging.

Even comparing different plans from the same provider can prove maddening.

Financing, buying or leasing your phone can change what service plan you’re eligible for, what “device access fees” you might have to pay, or even the price of the plan you’ve already picked.

It’s worth considering the total cost of a smartphone subscription. Paying what seems like more can often be cheaper in the long run.

107970

A flagship smartphone costs hundreds of dollars. There’s no way around that, but providers sure do try. Zero-interest payment plans are popular right now; splitting $600 into 24 monthly payments hikes up your monthly bill, but makes a fancier phone more attainable. Leases usually come at similar prices, but your payments don’t stop after two years.

Then again, you usually have the option to trade up to the latest model without having to sell your own phone.

If you can spring for your phone’s full price up front, it pays to wait a bit after a new model’s release to buy it. While your carrier will still be happy to charge you MSRP, online prices often drop as much as 20 percent within just a couple months.

Many cheaper phones are quite capable too, though they’ll show their age more quickly. They’re less likely to receive prompt software updates, and really intense game apps might be too much for them.

Plan price

change? Did an “access charge” appear, seemingly separate from either the phone or the plan? You might have to dig a bit to find out where your final price comes from.

For example, Sprint charges access fees of $20 per phone that’s leased, purchased with monthly payments, or paid for up front. Get the phone through a twoyear contract, though, and the access fee goes up to as much as $45, unless you pay for the unlimited data plan, which drops the access charge down to $25. AT&T did something similar until recently, charging more for contract phone access than other payment plans, but that company has since stopped offering two-year contracts altogether.

Perfectly clear, right? The lesson: play around with different options when putting together your package.

Prepaid options

All the major carriers offer prepaid options, which tend to be cheaper than standard plans. Usually you’ll have to buy your phone without subsidies, and if you’re not getting it from the provider, you’ll need to make sure it’s compatible.

One benefit of prepaid plans often goes unsung: lower or zero taxes. Or, at least, taxes already included in the advertised pricing. It’s an extra few bucks a month you can factor into your next phone plan purchase.

In the old days, you paid for your phone and you paid for your plan. Now, the price of your plan might depend on which phone you choose and how you pay for it. The total price changed, yes, but the plan price was the plan price.

Try it out for your provider of choice (and a competitor or two, to be fair). Just browse as a new customer and put togethThe author posts from his phone as @ er a package, then change the financing option on the phone. Did the plan price CitizenjaQ on Twitter.

FOOD Summer meets sour

Henniker Brewing Co. debuts seasonal sour ale

By Angie Sykeny

News from the local food scene

asykeny@hippopress.com

By Angie Sykeny

Henniker Brewing Co. is venturing into new territory with this year’s summer seasonal brew. Sour Flower, a dry-hopped sour ale, will make its New Hampshire debut at the brewery’s third annual Kickoff to Summer on Saturday, June 11.

“There’s not too many locally brewed sours available for distribution in New Hampshire,” Marketing Director Ryan Maiola said, “but it’s a style we’re intrigued by and something we’ve been interested in brewing for a while, so we thought the summer seasonal would be a good format for it.”

Sour Flower is 5.7 percent ABV and blends chinook, simcoe and mosaic hops with notes of pine, mango and citrus, creating a balance of tropical and sour fruit flavors.

“You get kind of a lemony tart flavor up front, then hops on the back end,” Maiola said. “It’s light and refreshing and good for summertime.”

The brewery is making two batches of Sour Flower, which will be available across New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine, on draft at select bars and restaurants and in 22-ounce bottles at select independent craft beer stores.

The bottle’s bright, colorful label features a painted image of a purple lilac, the New Hampshire state flower.

Visitors can sample the Sour Flower as part of a beer flight at the summer kickoff for $5. Other brews in the flight include the brewery’s four year-rounders: Hop Slinger, an India pale ale; Amber Ambition,

• Phantom appearance: Phantom Gourmet will be at The Flying Butcher (124 Route 101A, Amherst, 598-6328, theflyingbutcher.com) for 603 Day on Friday, June 3, and will feature the butcher shop in an upcoming episode of the show. The public is invited to be part of the special occasion from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and enjoy food samples, beer tastings with 603 Brewing and wine tastings with Vinilandia Wines. Admission is free, but an RSVP on The Flying Butcher website is required.

• Cafe with cars: The Everyday Café (14 Maple St., Contoocook, 746-6041, theeverydaycafenh.com) opened its second location on Monday, May 23, inside the Banks Chevrolet dealership at 137 Manchester St., Concord (229-4195).

The new location offers the same breakfast and lunch items found on the original menu — soups, sandwiches, salads, baked goods — but pared down a bit.

Hours are Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. According to its website, The Everyday Café, which first opened in October 2010, plans to continue its expansion to additional locations and will soon offer an online ordering option.

• Global tastes: Travel the world in food and cocktails at the Humane Society of Greater Nashua’s Benefit Dinner and Auction on Sunday, June 5, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., at St. Philip Greek Church (500 W. Hollis St., Nashua). The church hall will be transformed into an international wonderland with decor, drinks, appetizers and other fare inspired by the cultures of Paris, Rome, Greece, South America and Asia. There will be photo ops, games and live and silent auctions, too. Tickets cost $50, and proceeds support the shelter’s pets awaiting adoption. Call 889-2275 or visit hsfn.org/events/auction.

Limited seating will be available, but people are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs if they plan to hang out and enjoy the music.

“We like to get New Hampshire businesses and people involved whenever we can,” Maiola said. “You can listen to local music, try locally made food. It’s really a celebration of the community and everything local.”

Though Sour Flower will be officially released at the summer kickoff, it actually makes its first appearance at the BeerAdvocate Microbrew Invitational, happening Friday, June 3, and Saturday, June 4, at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston,.

Henniker Brewing will be one of over 70 microbrewers featured in the curated lineup. Their year-round brews and Gentleman Farmer will join Sour Flower at the tasting.

“It’s hard to stand out in the craft beer market, but [Sour Flower] is something that we think will differentiate our brewery,” Maiola said. “We’ve been … talking with bars and beer connoisseurs, and they’re all looking forward to drinking a New Hampshire-produced sour ale, so we think it’ll do well.”

Check out the latest kitchen trends and get inspiration for the kitchen of your dreams at the Palace Theatre’s 12th annual Kitchen Tour on Sunday, June 5, as you embark on a selfguided tour to visit seven homes boasting gorgeous kitchens in Bedford and Manchester.

“We find that this is the time of year, after a long winter, when people are looking to remodel and update their kitchens,” said Tammi Graff, director of corporate development at the Palace Theatre. “[The Kitchen Tour] is a chance for them to peek inside some beautiful homes, explore several of the finest kitchen designs and get decorating ideas.”

Registration takes place at Granite State Cabinetry in Bedford from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

There, guests can pick up their tour maps and programs and enjoy coffee and pastries before heading out to the homes.

The tour includes five homes in Bedford and two in Manchester, and participants can visit them in any order. All of the kitchens are relatively new — built within the last two years or so — and were carefully selected to ensure the tour highlights a wide variety of styles.

“Each one is so different,” Graff said. “It’s going to be really exciting and fun to see the whole range of designs with different colors, cabinetries, countertops and appliances.”

Graff said some hot trends to look for on the tour include tongue-and-groove ceilings; large islands that maximize seating and

When: Sunday, June 5, registration is 9:30 a.m. to noon, tour is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: Begin at Granite State Cabinetry, 384 Route 101, Bedford Cost: $50, includes lunch and after-party wine-tasting Visit: palacetheatre.org

storage and islands with cooktops; floor-toceiling and custom-built cabinetry; creative backsplashes and lighting options; chef kitchens with commercial-grade appliances; dual sinks and dishwashers; and modern and transitional designs.

Guests typically spend 15 to 20 minutes at each stop. While the kitchens are the focal point, most homes also have adjacent rooms on display to show how their kitchen coheres with the rest of the home.

The homeowners are usually out enjoying the tour for themselves, but most of the kitchens will have the designers who worked on them on site to talk about the kitchens’ features and answer questions. Kitchens without a designer will be attended by Palace Theatre ushers.

Photography is not allowed, but the tour program booklet will have information listed for each kitchen, including contact info for the designers and builders and the brands and models of the kitchen’s features.

“There’s so many elements, it can be overwhelming,” Graff said, “but I tell people, ‘Don’t get overwhelmed with the whole kitchen. If you can leave with one new idea or exciting new trend to take home, then it’s been a successful day for you.’”

From 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., tour participants are invited to an open-seated gourmet luncheon at Baron’s Major Brands (967 Gold St., Manchester), catered by O Steaks and Seafood. Many of the homes will have some refreshments on site as well, provided by local businesses.

For the second year, the tour will conclude with an after party at LaBelle Winery (345, Route 101, Amherst) from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Guests can enjoy a wine-tasting with paired appetizers and socialize with other tour participants.

“It’s a fun place to gather at the end,” Graff said. “There’s a lot of excitement over the tour, and I feel like the attendees like to talk about their day and what they’ve seen and share their insights.”

Now Taking Reservations

Rhubarb It’s rhubarb season, and it’s hard to go to any market without seeing the pinkish red stalks. They remind me of celery, but these stalks taste more like a tart apple. While rhubarb is typically used for pie (I write this as a strawberry rhubarb pie that my husband made stares me in the face), I was desperate to find other uses for it!

While I was looking for recipes, I found out some interesting things about rhubarb.

For one, its leaves are poisonous. While I knew this already (my husband’s stern warning to our cat!), I didn’t know that during World War I its leaves were mistakenly recommended to soldiers as food (Journal of American Medicine 1919, vol. 73 — thank you, Wikipedia!) and that you shouldn’t even let it in your compost pile.

I also didn’t know that rhubarb was used in ancient Chinese medicine as a laxative.

Rhubarb has quite the history!

Rhubarb Sauce 1 cup rhubarb 1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup real maple syrup Option add-ins: cinnamon to taste, applesauce or strawberries

From potassium to vitamin C and even calcium, rhubarb adds quite the nutritional boost to any pie it’s in. So maybe I shouldn’t feel so bad about that piece I just had? It was staring me in the face; how could I not? There is something about the tartness of the rhubarb that mixes so well with the sweetness of strawberries. Oh, and all the amazing sugar. Of course, the sugar.

I’ll sometimes chop up rhubarb raw and put it in my salad for a little kick, but it is quite strong, so just use a little. I also succeeded in finding another good way to use rhubarb that isn’t necessarily dessert-related. I hope you enjoy! It’s a healthy add-in for when you are reaching for syrup.

— Allison Willson Dudas Place chopped rhubarb in bowl and cover loosely. Microwave for 2 to 4 minutes and then stir contents until the consistency of applesauce. Mix a little syrup and anything else you like and use as a sauce for pork chops, waffles, yogurt or even mix in with your oatmeal. The rhubarb adds a nice tartness.

Drinking in Texas

106822

When you are a wine enthusiast, travel naturally includes visiting wineries, breweries and even distilleries. I recently traveled to Texas with family to visit other family members who are wine enthusiasts as well.

During a trip in 2011, we visited several wineries, and this time we had the opportunity to visit most of them again.

Some had changed or expanded, while others were offering different products. Now that I know more about wine and what I like, it was interesting to return with a new perspective.

Wine-tasting is about the same no matter where you go, but the key for me is learning about the local products — what grows best there and why; how things are made; the producers’ stories; why they entered the business and what keeps them going.

Winery on the Gruene in New Braunfels, Texas, is a cozy little winery with a nice outdoor seating space. We had somewhat limited time when we stopped in, but they let us take our time and do our tasting.

They have more than 30 wines, so choosing which ones to taste is quite a task. They do not grow their own grapes, but source juice from more than a dozen countries. They also make wine for Gruene Homestead Inn from the inn’s own Spanish red grapes.

In addition to tasting and purchasing wine to go (it’s allowed in the town of Gruene as long as you have a plastic cup), you can make your own wine there. You decide what you want and help make it, and they take care of the rest for the next eight weeks. Then you return, bottle it and pick out your own custom label.

I tried their Piesporter (a white wine named after the town in Germany where the grapes originated), Sweet Memories (a zinfandel, cabernet and pinot noir blend), Li’l Cranberry, also known as Cranberry Chianti, and Cool Breeze Ice Wine. Overall, I found their wines to be sweet but refreshing for the Texas heat. I also purchased a few bottles and brought them back to New Hampshire to enjoy later.

Also located in the adorable Gruene Historic District is The Grapevine, a wine tasting room with one of the largest selections of Texas wine. They have other wines too, but I enjoyed browsing their selections and checking out the wine labels. I love the idea of this store, because being in such a tourist-heavy location, this is a great way for Texas wineries to showcase their products. Their tasting menu was extensive and

allowed us to taste wines from wineries we were not going to be able to visit during this trip (you’re allowed three complimentary tastings per day). They also offer beer tastings, pints and growler fills.

I visited my first distillery on this trip.

Hill Country Distillers now occupies the former location of Comfort Cellars Winery, located in the little town of Comfort, Texas.

Here, John and Cayce Kovacs make Texas moonshine from prickly pear cactus, as well as moonshine from jalapeño peppers, gin from cactus and Texas juniper berries and moonshine infused liqueur. The moonshine wasn’t my favorite on its own, but the distillery has an impressive drink menu made with their products. They have figured out what tastes best so you can sit and relax in their beautiful space and enjoy a cocktail. I had the Blue Moon, made with cactus moonshine, lemonade and blue curacao. I also brought home some Dulce orange liqueur and can’t wait to try it in margaritas instead of triple sec.

One of my favorite things about our visit to the distillery was the tour, where we got to see where and how the moonshine is made. This is no easy process, as the cactus is picked and chopped by hand, fermented in 50-gallon batches and bottled mostly by hand as well. Some of the moonshine is also barrel aged in used bourbon barrels and new charred oak barrels. We were able to see these in the distillery. The Kovacs have certainly done a great job updating the building, and the tasting room has a great, welcoming atmosphere. I never thought I’d like moonshine but had the chance to taste a few of the cocktails, along with the liqueur, and it was obvious their hard work is paying off.

Skin Drone, Evocation (Bluntface Records)

This long-distance duo, consisting of Arkansas-based singer Erik Martin and local anti-hero Otto Kinzel on guitars and laptop, has put together a wildly noisy mishmash of extreme metal, stoner and industrial that’s actually clever in its variations, at its best a sort of Dillinger Escape Plan for people with longer attention spans. It’s scream-amania from the outset of opening track “Scarlet Road,” but the spazziness eventually gives way to a nice Isis-like chill-screamo break three minutes in, which takes us to “God Complex,” a back-and-forth exercise between Cannibal Corpse-ish mud-monster death-metal and goth-swirling-fog ambience. “Witching Hour” is an old-Ministry-style asskicker, hinting at roots industrial when it’s not banging out a pretty ambitious drum line or stopping for a gloomy arpeggio.

Overall a stubbornly eclectic release but not out of whack at all, and the sound is primo, neither too compressed nor too raw (I hate that local-scene critics always seem to mention production angles, but there it is, and I’m far too lazy to toss it out). A —Eric W. Saeger

whatever phase, and is now going through an anything-goes

Like Trail of Dead with a chick singer and a drunk piano player, this Austin, Texas, band wants to be the Buzzcocks and an arena hard-rock band at the same time. Or I could say Jane’s Addiction on amphetamines if that’d make more sense. Would it? I don’t know, but either way, your mileage may vary as far as enjoying the third full-length from these guys, even if their cred is top drawer, having toured with Spoon, and, you know, being from Austin. I mean, some of it is definitely microwaved, for example “& Rock & Roll” sort of rips off Thin Lizzy’s “Boys Are Back in Town,” even if it’s more agreeably raw. If you wiggle your ears while listening to it, it’s like Rush in some places, if that’s important to you. They spazz and spazz, but not fast enough to have a barfing contest, and the cheapness of production sounds a little forced. But there’s a lot of that going around, you know?

Eh, it’s fine. B —Eric W. Saeger

albums. Their next one, Love You to Death, spotlights the single “U-turn,” which has an ’80s Madonna beat and an ’80s-pop GoGos semi-hook. I don’t hate it, if that counts for anything. It will make a nice summer-makeout tune for your Spotify.

• The Kills have been around for 16 years now, starting out as a mildly annoying minimalist-techno duo. Since you’re hip, you’re aware of singer Alison Mosshart’s side projects, such as Dead Weather, in which her role involves some singing and some keeping Jack White away from platters of hamburgers.

“Doing It to Death,” the lead single from their fifth LP, Ash & Ice, has a quirky ’90s thing going on, part techno and part Police, with Mosshart’s bee-stung vocals being pushed through big-ass 1950s tremolo. It is uneventful but neat.

• Paul Simon, who is famous and very old, was once married to Princess Leia, did you know? He has gone through an Everly Brothers phase, a boring pop-rock phase, a zydecobeatnik phase, going by the single “Wristband,” from his new album Stranger to Stranger. There are brushed snare beats, odd pockets of horns, and soft voices in this song, like a grown-up version of Vampire Weekend if they were going to play Vegas.

I’m not sure what kind of person would like this song, but I’m picturing someone in a straw fedora drinking an ironic commercial lager perhaps.

• I’m not sure how I can be expected to keep up with this stuff, but William Tyler is in two bands, Lambchop and Silver Jews, and he does solo albums, for instance Modern Country, his new solo record. His specialty is guitar-centric ambience with no singing, sort of bordering on guitar-tronica. “Gone Clear,” one of the tracks from this new album, falls into that category, a little bit psychedelic, a little bit Allmans, a little bit prog, not bad at all. — Eric W.

Poetic prose

Dan Szczesny pens new book of travel essays

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

For Dan Szczesny, any travel opportunity is also a writing opportunity, which is how he treated his fall 2013 adventure to Alaska with his wife Meena Gyawali.

The three-week trip was their last before the birth of their baby, and on the search for the off-the-beaten-path Alaska, Szczesny (a Hippo associate publisher) tapped into his career as a reporter and talked with the locals to find coveted salmon fishing holes and breathtaking experiences.

Of course, in Alaska, finding locals to talk to comes with its own challenges — the pair had to drive over mountains to get from village to village.

“Alaska is the last frontier. That’s its nickname. It’s a place where people go to get away. If you want to travel in America and feel like you are on another planet or in another country … that’s where you go,” Szczesny said. “But everyone wants to talk.

The whole idea of a reporter is, everyone has a story. So my approach to Alaska was through the locals, through the people who live there.”

Szczesny and his wife flew into Anchorage and rented a small SUV. They slept inside or camped the rest of the trip. They trekked to all the state’s hot spots: Fairbanks, Valdez, the Arctic Circle, Delta Junction and Denali National Park and Preserve. In Denali, they slept as close as possible to the mountain itself, which is where he came up with the essay “Mosquito Rain.”

“The mosquito is almost like the national bird of Alaska. We’re camping in the shadow of Mount Denali, and we wake up in the morning, and I thought it was raining outside the tent. It turns out it was just actually mosquitos. Swarms and swarms of mosquitos.

Our whole trip in Denali became this quest for breeze. We had to find wind to keep the bugs off of us,” he said.

He also wrote about the salmon, which he said is “unbelievably delicious” in Alaska.

But he compared it to writing about lobster in Maine, done a thousand times before, so for the essay, the couple learned from local fishermen about a secret cove where salmon jump into your net. They traveled through dirt roads and forests and over a mountain to find it.

Their trip was during a time when darkness was just a couple hours a day, so they

had countless hours to take in the state’s scenes of 15,000-foot mountains every way you turn. It certainly felt like the last frontier.

“Just to get from place to place in Alaska, you have to drive over these mountain ranges that here would be state parks or, you know, designated natural scenic areas, but there they’re just unnamed mountains,” Szczesny said. “It was like going over Franconia Notch every 10 miles. …

There are so many mountains, so many peaks that are still unclimbed. The Alaskan Tundra takes up about a third of the whole state.”

Szczesny took notes while he was there and wrote a series of essays when he returned. He selfpublished the 3,000-word collection on Amazon with the intention of collecting some readers and maybe a few bucks.

“There used to be such a stigma attached to self-publishing. It isn’t there anymore. If you can do it right and you can do it well, then people are making a living just off self-publishing now. And you don’t have to wait,” he said.

Months later, a publisher, Folded Word Press, reached out to him, asking if he could expand those 3,000 words into 10,000 for a book of travel essays. The result is Mosquito Rain: Alaskan Travel Essays.

He said the company traditionally publishes poetry, and he likes to think the essays have a lyrical quality in them.

“I like nonfiction that has sound and beauty to the tone,” he said. “I felt like I wasn’t really there long enough to really know Alaska like I know Nepal [he’s also the author of The Nepal Chronicles], but I wanted to bring up the little pieces, like the off-the-beaten-path things, or the little images or the people we met along the way, and the best way for me, I felt, to do that was in poetic prose.”

filled with discarded molten material — ash used for traction in the snow, nuggets of pig iron, sharp metal sheets, iron filings we gathered with magnets, mercury we kept as a treasured plaything, pipes welded together for the batting cage and plates walling our steel dugouts, corrugated sheets we learned to cut and bend into sleds and shields.”

Like any good memoir, the deeply personal stories find an audience beyond the family’s dinner table because of their universal themes: love, loss and longing. There are no hurricanes, no zombies and no terrorist attacks in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, nothing to build the page-turning tension that Hollywood craves (but for the occasional loss of limb and life at a neighborhood factory).

There’s just a boy growing up amid the “Bridgers,” with parents named Milt and Betty, who presided over their household like amiable royalty, he arriving home from his factory shift at 5:15 sharp every day, always cheerful and smiling; she a mom who “put out” like others of her generation: meaning, she put out platters of food when a visitor arrived. It was the plainest kind of blessing, but perhaps the best kind, Hertneky writes.

“These evenings followed each other like waves on a beach, and from the moment I gained any perspective on them — probably during my first summer living away from home — they supplied my earliest sense of empathy for all the kids and mothers who were treated with indifference and cruelty. … Because I can still draw into my chest the daily anticipation and joy at my own father’s arrival, planted there by reliability, repetition, and rhythm, I can at least imagine life without it, life with an equally predictable sense of terror.”

The characters of Ambridge are memorable. There is the football coach who would follow nimble kids from the playground home so he could extol the value of team sports to skeptical parents. Who spent three months learning Polish so he could charm a family that didn’t speak English.

There is the uncle so enamored of the ocean that he siphoned 10 gallons of seawater from the Massachusetts Bay, lugged it to a closet on Pittsburgh’s North Side, and drank a few ounces every morning, convinced that it was the ultimate elixir of well-being. “His wake,” Hertneky writes, “was wet with reverence.”

There is the mother of a girlfriend, one of the “moms who put out,” who would be pulling baked ziti out of the oven when Hertneky would bring his date home close to midnight. “She never left the kitchen, canning tomatoes or beans, sweating through August afternoons, or perched on a stool at night, smoking Larks and listening to talk radio, ready with an apple or ricotta pie.”

Amid this luxury of personality, Hertneky matures, from the blond and blow-tied 5-year-old that beams from the book’s cover to a lawyer saddled with so much studentloan debt (a figure “that darkened the entire room. More than my parents’ mortgage.”) that he decides to return to Ambridge for a steel job. In the mills, he got a dose of something every worker needs. “As a result of working for O’Leary, no boss would ever scare me again. I could fear losing a job, but Jimmy made me afraid of losing blood and teeth.”

Rust Belt Boy is a coming-of-age story, minus the modern genre’s staples of excessive profanity, lechery and pain. It is a PG-rated reminiscence of a G-rated time, startlingly lovely at times, and deeply wise.

It benefits from knowledge of a Steel Belt city, even more from knowledge of Pittsburgh, but that is not necessary to appreciate its loving treatment of an important corner of American history.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

X-Men: Apocalypse (PG-13)

The X-Men re-form to take on a god-like being bent on ending the world in X-Men: Apocalypse, the third movie in the James McAvoy/ Michael Fassbender younger-XMen incarnation.

Sigh, when isn’t a god-like being trying to take over the world in one of these movies? I think that set-up right there explains why I liked Captain America: Civil War. The movie opens with some early mutant activity in ancient Egypt. A being treated as a god — who is eventually called Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) — is guarded by four mutants and periodically treats himself to a spa day wherein he transfers his essence to another body, usually another mutant body so he can pick up some new powers and abilities. During one such transfer, the local human population decides enough is enough with this guy and is able to kill Apocalypse’s mutant henchmen and trap the big guy in a pyramid.

Years later — in the 1980s —as Apocalypse wakes up, we find out where all of our players are. Professor Charles Xavier (McAvoy) is at his school, providing a safe place for new generations of gifted children including super-strong mutant Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) and the latest addition, Scott Summers (Tye Sheridan), brother of Alex Summers/Havok (Lucas Till), who has just figured out that he has laser vision.

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto (Michael Fassbender) is living in Poland, working in some kind of factory and living a quiet country life with his wife and daughter (who, as we learn, apparently has some kind of animal summoning abilities). Raven/Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) is kind of a freelance mutant rescuer, getting people like Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee) out of the underground freak-show and mutant-fighting circuit.

agent and crush of Xavier, is on some kind of mission in Cairo and comes upon the place where Apocalypse is entombed. She’s not quite sure what she’s witnessed when she sees his pyramid get all glowy but soon Xavier (whom, you’ll recall, she doesn’t remember meeting and kissing) comes by to get her to help them figure out what is happening in Cairo.

Meanwhile, the earthquake caused by Apocalypse’s awakening led to an accident wherein Erik accidentally revealed his powers. His discovery leads to a tragic turn of events that sets this man who has become relatively peace-loving and human-lifeleading back on his murdering ways.

Thus does Mystique resurface at Professor X’s school to get his help in searching for Magneto, to find their old friend before anyone else can. The storylines all come together as Magneto joins Apocalypse — as well as the mutants Angel (Ben Hardy), Storm (Alexandra Shipp) and Psylocke (Olivia Munn) — in Apocalypse’s quest to remake the world as one that will worship him. Magneto, as usual, seems fine with whatever Apocalypse’s plans are as long

as they allow him to get out his rage and prevent the human-on-mutant violence that he’s sure is not far away.

Magneto versus Professor X, eliminating the human threat versus engaging with humans — this is the core struggle of the X-Men universe, at least as portrayed by all of the movies. I understand why the movie needs an Apocalypse, why most of these movies need a villain outside this equation, which is to give all the mutants a reason to have to choose between the two philosophies of living in a world where they are both in the minority and yet powerful in ways the majority isn’t. I understand why Apocalypse is there, but he’s not particularly interesting. Oh, all-powerful thing who wants to rule the world? Again?

The movie is at its most captivating when it focuses on the individuals. Fassbender — not just because he is, like, many levels more talented than this nonsense — and Magneto always have the most interesting scenes, the most interesting arc. He has a good reason for his behavior and plenty of motivating factors in why his story plays out the way it does in this movie. Professor

The Jungle Book (PG) Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba.

Loosey-goosey storytelling takes a back seat to the amazing visuals of this “live action” (in the case of the one human, I guess) version of the Rudyard Kipling tale by way of 1967 Disney musical cartoon. This might be the best use of CGI to create photo-

HIPPO | JUNE 2 - 8, 2016 | PAGE 56

X is less compelling but his gentle mentorship of freaked out young mutants offers some nice storytelling beats.

But the Apocalypse story, while it is the engine that drives the plot, feels like it takes away from the better elements of the individual characters. It adds a “jumble of things” quality to this story that already has so many parts that just setting up where everybody is seems to take a good while. The movie has some solid ideas about how these mutants can live in the world but then bogs them down in a bunch of overheated CGI and an “Easter eggs for everybody!” approach that takes away from some of the movie’s smarter elements. Don’t get me wrong, I am definitely not arguing for some darker, thinker X-Men — I think “dark superhero movie” needs to get a rest as a movie trope for a good long time. Like, maybe, let’s revisit it in the 2020s. Or the 2120s — I’m sure DC will still be trying to make its movie franchise happen in the 22nd century. Nor do I necessarily think everything needs to be “Joss Whedon’s Marvel Comics” whatever. But a streamlined approach to X-Men storytelling (not trying to give us the origins of, like, every one of the X-Men in every movie) and a bit more focus on the personal relationships (which was sort of The Thing that made X-Men: First Class work) would help make levity more natural and give emotions more punch.

X-Men: Apocalypse isn’t a complete bummer. Any Fassbender is good Fassbender. Evan Peters shows up again as Quicksilver and though his showpiece moment feels more like fan service than actual story necessity, it is some mighty fine fan service. And McAvoy, though he always seems to get the second best of everything, does add an element of the real person to his portrayal of Professor X. C+ Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence, action and destruction, brief strong language, and some suggestive images.

*Money Monster (R) Julia Roberts, George Clooney.

This tale of a financial TV show host held hostage is more energetic and fun than expected with a solid core built by the Roberts/Clooney chemistry. B Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (R) Rose Byrne, Seth Rogen.

Homeowners and parents Byrne and Rogen got rid of their frat neighbors but now have to deal with a newly formed sorority, just as

they’re trying to sell their house, in this stupid but fun broad comedy. B* The Nice Guys (R) Ryan Gosling, Russell Crowe.

Gosling and Crowe are surprisingly winning in this tale of detectives and murder in 1977 Los Angeles.

Light and effervescent, this blend of action and buddy comedy is perfect early summer fare. A-

Alice Through the Looking Glass (PG)

Alice returns to Wonderland for adventures that actually seem way less interesting than her real life in Alice Through the Looking Glass, a mostly dreary sequel to the dreary 2010 Alice in Wonderland.

Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) is now a ship's captain, fending off pirates in the seas around China. When she returns to London, she visits her mother (Lindsay Duncan) and then expects to head back to sea. But her mother has sold her shares in the company (built in part by Alice's beloved late father) that finances her exploits and now Alice is faced with having to give up her ship, the Wonder, to Hamish (Leo Bill), her former intended, if she wants to save her mother's house. Just as she's forced to decide, she sees a butterfly, who she eventually figures out is Wonderland's Absolem (voice of Alan Rickman), and follows it into the mirror, which takes her back to Wonderland.

There, she meets with old pals Tweedles Dee and Dum (Matt Lucas), the White Rabbit (voice of Michael Sheen), Cheshire Cat (voice of Stephen Fry), Bayard (voice of Timothy Spall), the Dormouse (Barbara Windsor) and the White Queen (Anne Hathaway), who apparently has a name and it's apparently Mirana.

They tell her that the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) is ailing, sending Alice to check on him. She finds him in a tizzy, convinced that the family he believed died in a Jabberwocky attack is actually alive.

Because she doesn't believe it's possible, he doesn't believe she's the "real Alice" and sends her away. Because the friends are convinced that the Mad Hatter will waste away and die if he doesn't have his family, Alice is determined to find a way to save them. The White Queen says that there may be one chance: steal the chronosphere, the source that powers the great clock, from Time (Sacha Baron Cohen) and go back to the day Hatter's family was killed and save them.

When Alice gets to Time's fortress, she finds that she's not the only person looking for the chronosphere. Time's girlfriend, the big-headed Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter), whose name is Iracebeth, also wants the time-travel-facilitating orb. The Red Queen sees Alice just as Alice enters the H.G. Wellsian time machine (sort of a cross between a penny farthing, an early airplane and a hamster ball) and heads back into Wonderland's past.

As with the last movie, there's lots to look at in Looking Glass. Alice's travels

into storybook towns and castles and the bendy way that time works make for some fun visuals. I saw this movie in 3-D, which adds to the fantastical pop-up fairy-talebook quality of the movie. It also gave me a headache, so on balance I don't know that I'd say whatever the 3-Dness added to the visuals was worth it.

Of course, I can't blame the headache all on the 3-D glasses. I'm pretty sure Johnny Depp and his Mad Hatter would have me reaching for the Excedrin all on his own.

I'm all set with this Johnny Depp character — possibly with all the "Johnny Depp does a fanciful character" characters. Mad Hatter, Captain Jack Sparrow, Mortdecai, the Wolf from Into the Woods, Tonto from The Lone Ranger, Willy Wonka — they are all more or less the same character, as far as I can tell, with the biggest variation being in their costumes and make-up.

There is too much performance, too much jazz hands and not enough human person in these characters.

I think we're supposed to like and deeply care for Hatter and believe that he and Alice have a deep connection. But the character is so loaded with visual busy-ness and goofy mannerisms that only in the most hamfisted "Time to Feel Feelings" moments could I find a real person to care about there. And I couldn't remember from the last movie or figure out from this movie what it was that made up that do-or-die friendship. Is he Alice's projection of her father's whimsical side? Was that the thing? There's a reading of this where Alice is actually bonkers and every time her life reaches a turning point she "goes to Wonderland" to work out her issues via fantasy creatures that represent both other people in her life and aspects of her own personality. When she wakes up at one point in an asylum — which, what, exactly, are we supposed to believe about the passage of time in Wonderland as compared to the passage of time in Victorian England? — I thought some version of that might be where we were going.

With that core relationship being built on "they care about each other because" and with the nature of Wonderland never really clear, I found myself profoundly not caring about Alice's adventures there.

Especially when compared to the opening scenes, which show her captaining her ship with exceptional skill and when she mentions meeting the Chinese empress. That part of the movie actually has the wonder and adventure you'd expect from a plucky girl who fought a Jabberwocky and tangled with the Red Queen. But the movie pulls us away from this promising story about Alice back to a place where the story is about everyone but Alice and the motivations and actions of the character often seem not to click.

Love & Friendship (PG)

A woman tries to secure a husband for her daughter and a socially acceptable way to maintain an affair for herself in Love & Friendship, an adaptation of Jane Austen's Lady Susan written and directed by Whit Stillman.

Lady Susan (Kate Beckinsale), an attractive widow, and her teenage daughter Frederica (Morfydd Clark) must hastily leave the home of family friends Lord (Lochlann O'Mearain) and Lady (Jenn Murray) Manwaring after Lady Manwaring decides Lord Manwaring has been too friendly with Lady Susan. Because finances aren't great for Lady Susan and her daughter, they don't have a home of their own to return to and have to head to another relative's house: Churchill, the home of Charles Vernon (Justin Edwards), brother of Susan's late husband. His wife Catherine (Emma Greenwell) is apprehensive about the visit and her brother Reginald DeCourcy (Xavier Samuel) has heard just enough about Susan to call her "the most accomplished flirt in all of England."

When Susan arrives, she quickly charms Reginald, to the horror of Catherine, who doesn't want her brother to end up with such a notorious woman. When Frederica shows up, the family quickly warms to her, including possibly Reginald. The Vernon family and eventually the DeCourcy family worry that not only is Susan squashing Frederica's spirit but she is also trying rush her into marriage with Sir James Martin (Tom Ben-

nett), a man who is many scones short of a tea party.

All of this while Lady Susan continues to carry on an actual affair with Lord Manwaring. We know about her true feelings for him — and her true thoughts about everyone and everything else — from her discussions with Mrs Alicia Johnson (Chloe Sevigny), Susan's friend from America.

Whit Stillman, he of 1990s cult films Metropolitan and Barcelona, is known for mannered talky films and gin-crisp wry humor. When I heard about this film, I thought the combination of Whit Stillman and Jane Austen would be a real peanut butter and chocolate, two-great-tastes situation.

It turns out, it's less peanut butter and chocolate and more peanut butter and almond butter or maybe peanut butter and chunky peanut butter. The similarity between Austen's themes and point of view and Stillman's tell-don't-show approach causes the most appealing aspects of each to be dulled and diluted, resulting in some weak, chatty sauce.

This movie has its moments — Stillman is such old hat for Beckinsale that she seems to be having fun coasting her way through.

Though the story doesn't have the finesse of later Austen tales, it does have the fun twist of having a main character who is more of an anti-heroine. Lady Susan isn't just human and flawed like Emma Woodhouse or Elizabeth Bennet; she's legitimately in the wrong pretty much all the time. But the story doesn't force her to repent or hold her up as an example of wickedness. Lady Susan's tale is actually fairly modern for its time, which may be what appealed to Stillman.

Love & Friendship has a few sparks, a few moments of liveliness, but too often the movie ambles along where it should be buzzing with witty energy. BRated PG for some thematic elements.

Written and directed by Whit Stillman (from the novella Lady Susan by Jane Austen), Love & Friendship is an hour and 32 minutes long and distributed by Roadside Attractions and Amazon Studios.

NITE Big anniversary Local music news & events

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

• Sibling sounds: Indie folk Americana duo The Dupont Brothers recently completed a new album with help from many of their Vermont-home-base musician friends.

The band has toured the bottom to the top of the U.S. — SXSW to Grand Point North — opening for Sturgill Simpson, Jerry Douglas, Bahamas and others. Bryan Sutton Band headlines with sublime acoustic guitar. Go Thursday, June 2, at 8 p.m. at Riverwalk Cafe, 35 Railroad Square, Nashua. Tickets $25 at riverwalknashua.com.

• Feel good music: Symphonies of Dirt and Dust, the latest album from Chris Trapper, began as an assignment to write songs for a Pierce Brosnan/Salma Hayek/Jessica Alba movie. But the ex-Push Stars leader deftly turned telling the stories of others wonderfully personal; the result is perhaps his best album yet. He performs an intimate show featuring the new disc Friday, June 3, at 8 p.m. at Music Hall Loft, 131 Congress St., Portsmouth. Tickets are $18 at themusichall.org.

• Happy couple: Married musical team Harvey Reid & Joyce Anderson mix original, traditional and modern selections at an Oyster River Folk show that also promises exquisite playing. Reid is a virtuoso guitarist, and instrumentals are often the highlight of any show by the pair. Find out more at their woodpecker.com website, but don’t look online for this low-tech party — tickets are sold at the door only. Go Saturday, June 4, at 7 p.m. at UU Church, Woodman & Madbury Road, Durham. Tickets $15 ($5 for children).

• Drum legend: Among the too many musicians lost in 2016’s annus horribilis is prog rock keyboard wizard Keith Emerson.

His band mate recalls his days with Emerson and Greg Lake at a show dubbed Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy. The drumming dynamo is also part of supergroup Asia. Go Sunday, June 5, at 7 p.m. at Tupelo Music Hall, 2 Young Road, Londonderry. Tickets are $50 to $65 at tupelohall.com.

• Branch out: Between gigs with her band The Cranks, singer and guitarist Haley Gowland plays solo gigs in the area. Following the success of the Brian Coombes-produced Cute Hat EP in 2015, the “indie popternative” group Gowland formed with her twin brother Connor has opened shows for Paramore and Fall Out Boy and ascended to high rounds in the Boston Rock and Roll Rumble.

Go Thursday, June 9, at 6 p.m. at Homestead Restaurant & Tavern, 641 Daniel Webster Highway, Merrimack. See thecranks.com.

20 years in, Meadowbrook aims higher

By Michael Witthaus

What has changed for the worse?

I guess the one thing that has changed about our industry that concerns me the most is after-market tickets, scalpers, etc. This reselling business seems to keep growing. Not only do the fans pay more for the same tickets that way but many of them are buying a product that we can’t service. Everything for us is about communicating with our customers and great customer service. We cannot do either if someone buys from a reseller. This is the main reason we created a reseller platform. We now give the resellers a place to go where we can still provide all our great services to the buyer.

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

A Beatle, an Eagle and James Taylor are three of the reasons Bank of NH Pavilion at Meadowbrook CEO RJ Harding expects that 2016 “will undoubtedly be our best season yet, by far.”

It’s the 20th anniversary of the Gilford amphitheater started by Harding’s father in 1996. From humble beginnings in a field filled with folding chairs and an open air stage, Meadowbrook grew into a premiere venue — and an ever improving one. A new food service company (a veteran of big events like Coachella and Stage Coach), festivalstyle camping facilities and a cool parking lot vibe provided by Meadowbrook “Experience Team” members are among the additions attendees can expect. Other enhancements will be evident to ears, not eyes.

“The improvement I am most excited about is a very elaborate, new delay audio system,” Harding said. “The front will no longer get blown out so that the back seats can get a good mix. Every seat will sound better than before, including the lawn.”

Harding took time out from hectic preparations to talk about the upcoming season.

What’s exciting about the coming season?

We have more shows than ever before. We will smash our attendance record. We have made such vast improvements to the programming that the fans have come to expect and love from attending a show here. We have a great assortment and variety of shows, many coming for the first time. As far as particular shows, I’m excited about a bunch of them as a fan and a promoter, but the biggest coup for us in this particular season is probably the double with Dave Matthews Band.

That is going to be epic for us, mostly because it is not a genre where we’ve really had anything quite that big.

What’s changed in the industry since Meadowbrook launched 20 years ago?

Almost everything. … The biggest change impacting our world is the business model of touring musicians. Most of them make the majority of their income from touring. It used to be just a marketing arm to sell records.

Hardly anyone sells records anymore, so that has all been turned upside down. That has affected ticket prices but also the experience is better than it has ever been. The artists now realize that this is their bread and butter. If they want the fans to keep coming back year after year, they better be giving them their money’s worth.

What do you wish your father had lived to witness?

There are hardly any shows that I don’t wish he were here to see. Not only because I think he would be proud of what we’ve become but just because we miss him. He was something special and different and an incredible business thinker. I still miss his advice all the time.

Looking back 20 years, what’s your favorite moment?

There are so many memories. I guess it would still have to be the moment I confirmed James Taylor for the first time in 2014.

That was an artist my father and I had always believed to be the absolute perfect fit for us.

We had pursued him for 15 years leading up to that moment. My father passed away in What are you looking forward to in the 2008. I could feel him smiling on that day. next decade?

I’m expecting my first grandchild this year, What’s the most surprising thing you’ve so that is exciting. As far as the venue goes, seen in running the venue? our passion is to continue to try to give the I guess the venue itself. Now that we have best concert experience possible to the fans. a lot of perspective in the business, this venue This bar is continuously being moved up by does not make sense. You should not be able the great festivals out there. We’re trying to to do what we’re doing in Gilford, N.H. keep pace with them.

Triple Crown winner American Pharoah earned an estimated $8.6 million racing but, now retired, could earn as much as $35 million just by breeding. Stallions reportedly can breed into their 20s, and the horse, now barely age 4, will have 175 conquests by the end of this summer, according to a May report by CNBC. One industry worker said Pharoah has put on weight, spends his spare time peaceably eating grass, and “looks more like a relaxed horse.” A spokesman for the Kentucky farm now housing Pharoah said he “has proven to be very professional in the breeding shed.”

Latest religious messages

LOS LOBOS

The Keystone Fellowship Church in North Wales, Pennsylvania, has a tradition of congregants reserving pew seats by leaving Bibles in place, but worshipper Robert Braxton, 27, was having none of that on April 24 and took a saved seat anyway. Witnesses told Philadelphia’s WCAU-TV that when one church member gently tapped Braxton on the shoulder to inform him of the tradition, Braxton snapped at him and became disruptive. Congregant Mark Storms, 46, flashed a gun and confronted Braxton, who punched Storms, adding, “That’s not a real gun” and “What are you going to do, shoot me?” Storms, contending that he felt threatened, fired two shots, killing Braxton, and was charged with voluntary manslaughter.

Ms. Pixee Fox reported in May that she was recovering nicely from cosmetic ribremoval surgery, performed by one of the few doctors in the world who offers it (Dr. Barry Eppley of Carmel, Indiana). Though she has had more than a dozen “beautifying” procedures, she had trouble finding a surgeon who would agree to take out six “free-floating” ribs (ones not attached to the sternum). Born in Sweden, she gave up a career as a trained electrician to come to the United States to pursue her goal of looking “like a cartoon character” which she has surely achieved with her now-16inch waist.

• The Moscow Times reported in May that bailiffs in Russia’s Perm region, employing originality as yet unseen in America in attempting to collect an overdue debt, arrested the debtor’s cat. The bailiffs listed the feline’s value at the equivalent of $23, and the man came up with that sum the next day and took the cat home.

The Federal Bailiffs Service explained that all the other “property” in the apartment was in other people’s names.

• Shannon Egeland, 41, already convicted in 2014 of running a mortgage-fraud operation during the 2004-2008 real-estate boom, pleaded guilty in May 2016 to the subsequent crime of deliberately having himself shot to gain his judge’s sympathy (and to collect on disability insurance he had purchased the week before). Egeland, scheduled to start a 10-year sentence for the 2014 conviction, told the judge he had been assaulted by gunfire when he stopped in traffic to help a pregnant woman, but in reality he had ordered his teenage son to shoot him in the legs with a 20-gauge shotgun.

New World order

• German soldiers participating in a fourweek NATO exercise in Norway earlier this year apparently had to abort their efforts days earlier than other countries because Germany’s defense minister, Ursula von der Leyen, had imposed strict rules on overtime pay. Soldiers are to work no more than 41 hours a week, she said, according to revelations by London’s Daily Telegraph.

• Britain’s venerable Oxford University issued a formal suggestion to law lecturers recently that they give “trigger warnings” (and allow classroom absences) if the class subject matter might be unpleasant to some students. Complained one frustrated lecturer, “We can’t remove sexual offences from the criminal law syllabus obviously.”

Oops!

• This correction appeared in The New York Times print edition of May 10: “Because of an editing error, an article on Monday (May 9) about a theological bat-

tle being fought by Muslim imams and scholars in the West against the Islamic State misstated the Snapchat handle used

by Suhaib Webb, one of the Muslim leaders speaking out. It is imamsuhaibwebb, not Pimpin4Paradise786.”

• Amateurs: Government agencies trying, legally or not, to hide details from public inquiries under freedom-of-information demands usually resort to indelibly blackening out what they do not want revealed, but the Public Health Agency of Canada recently tried a unique method, according to an Associated Press correspondent. The AP had requested files on the 2014 Ebola outbreak, and, revealed reporter Raphael Satter, the documents finally arrived from the PHA with parts carefully “redacted” using “Scotch tape and paper.” Satter reported that he got everything the AP had asked for by merely peeling the tape back.

(A Dallas Morning News reporter, commenting on Satter’s experience, wrote, “Canadians are so nice.”)

Armed and dangerous

Michael Blevins, 37, reported to Florida Hospital in Orange City (near Daytona Beach) in May after finally realizing, three days after the fact, that he had shot himself while cleaning his handgun. He said he was on pain medication and besides, was wearing a black shirt that obscured blood stains.

He said he had felt a sharp pain but that, mainly, it had aggravated his back injury, causing him to fall and hit his head against a coffee table, and thus was not aware of the origin of the loud noise the .22-caliber handgun made.
