Many years ago, in a college English literature class, my professor commented that the then-popular “theater of the absurd” had a built-in flaw, namely that as its plots became more and more absurd, audiences would come to expect even more absurdity. I thought of that today as I read about the killing of nearly 50 innocent people in an Orlando nightclub early Sunday morning. The gunman was shot by police, but only after he’d wrought carnage on an unprecedented level. But it was the scope of this slaughter, the horrendous number of lives brutally taken, that gave me pause. I wondered: Have we come to a way of thinking that we now react to this as “another massshooting account?” The number of people killed may vary, from the thousands who died in the 9-11 attacks to the most recent killing of a single black man on the streets of one of our cities. But the doubt still troubles me. There are so many of these events and they have become so tragically almost a fixture of the weekly, if not daily, news feed. But if we pause and focus on any one of them, we quickly grasp what it would mean if the tragedy had happened to one of our loved ones. How have we come to live in this environment of intolerance, fanaticism, racism and violence? What is the role of factors such as our increasing focus on self at the expense of community, insensitivity to the frustration, anguish, despair of many in our communities, the corrosive effect of drugs, unrecognized mental illness, or the paradoxical isolation and anonymity that comes with a technology that purports to keep us better connected? With every such tragedy as the Orlando nightclub massacre, the slaying the night before in that city of a young female vocalist, or the rampage of a disaffected worker in San Bernardino, do we become just that little bit more inured? With every racist, bigoted or misogynist insult that is splattered across our daily news feeds, do we become just that little bit less shocked then and even slightly less so the next time such happens? Civility, tolerance, respect, understanding, accommodation, empathy, consideration, solidarity: These are building blocks of our society. What will it take for us to embrace and live by them again? Our very future depends on our ability to do so. Stephen Reno is the executive director of Leadership New Hampshire and former chancellor of the University System of New Hampshire.

NEWS & NOTES Candidates file
The final round-up of candidates for major office submitted their official paperwork as the filing period came to a close. On June 8, Republican Executive Councilor Chris Sununu came under fire for comments he made about a lack of leadership amid the drug crisis as he filed his candidacy in the gubernatorial race. The Union Leader reported Manchester Police Chief Nick Willard took issue with the statement, calling it “idiotic” and suggesting local leaders such as himself and others have been leading in the fight against opioids. Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas, another GOP candidate for governor, called on Sununu to apologize. Gatsas and Sununu met privately at the Windham GOP cookout, where Gatsas asked Sununu to apologize again. NH1 reported Sununu stood by his statements but clarified that he did not intend to include police or fire departments when he referred to a lack of leadership at the local level. The next day, Republican Jeanie Forrester, a state senator from Meredith, filed to run for governor, as did Democrat Mark Connolly, the former head of the state’s Bureau of Securities Regulations. Forrester used the moment to criticize Gov. Maggie Hassan and later her GOP opponent Sununu for his comments the day before. She said they pointed to his “immaturity” and “lack of wisdom” stemming from the “political dynasty” he comes from, referring to his father, a former governor, and brother, a former U.S. senator. The AP reported Forrester said she will not seek higher office in Congress if elected governor. On June 10, the final day for filing, GOP candidates Gatsas and state Rep. Frank Edelblut of Wilton and Democratic Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern filed for the governor’s race, the Union Leader reported. That same day saw the filings for Congressional candidates. Democrat Carol Shea-Porter filed to take back the 1st District seat held by Republican Frank Guinta, and Democratic incumbent Ann McLane Kuster got another challenger on the ballot when Republican state Rep. Eric Estevez HIPPO | JUNE 16 - 22, 2016 | PAGE 4
filed for the 2nd District seat. Estevez joins a crowded primary field that includes state Rep. Jack Flanagan of Brookline and former state Rep. Jim Lawrence of Hudson. Meanwhile, Shea-Porter’s principal Democratic challenger, Shawn O’Connor, filed after announcing he would run as an independent, the AP reported. O’Connor, a Bedford businessman, has been at loggerheads with party officials.

The project, which would cost $6.8 million to overhaul the space, aims to provide inpatient services and work release housing for inmates with addiction problems and co-occurring mental illnesses. It’s modeled after a similar facility in Sullivan County that boasts an 18-percent recidivism rate. Merrimack County’s recidivism rate is currently 50 percent. Meanwhile, in Manchester, work on converting the old Hoitt furniture building into a recovery center run by HOPE for New Hampshire Recovery officially began. The ceremonial groundbreaking took place on June 7 with project organizers and Mayor Ted Gatsas hammering a large hole through an internal wall to reveal a banner that read “Breaking down the walls to Recovery.” The center will offer peer support services and meeting spaces in the first floor with some housing services in upper floors provided through other organizations.

Beer bubble
Is New Hampshire’s craft brew industry heading toward a collapse? By Ryan Lessard
news@hippopress.com
During a recent sunny morning, brewer Rob North of Great North Aleworks in Manchester was running around moving large hoses connecting three massive 80-barrel fermenting tanks to the mash tun, a vat of mostly water and steeping grain needed to create the mash. Once the complex starches in the grains are broken down by enzymes into sugars the yeast can later consume to create alcohol, the mash is drained and transferred to a second vat as a sugary liquid known as the wort. The wort is then boiled to sanitize the liquid, and North will add hops to balance the otherwise oversweet flavor. This particular batch is destined to be an IPA, enough to fill 19,200 cans — though some of it will go into kegs. Throughout this process, North and his quality control manager, John Cataldo, are running up the steel stairs of the mash tun to watch the temperature of the mash, the delicate managing of which is crucial for the enzymes to do their work. North, who started the company last summer in the far corner of an industrial park, says this is the work that gets him going in the morning. “We wanted to take advantage of an excellent market and a real boom in craft beer and at the end of the day do something that we truly love,” North said. But that boom has some folks in the industry worried that the meteoric growth of craft beer may be a fleeting fad or, worse, an economic bubble.
Sustainable growth?

the local craft scene and has seen a lot of changes over the years — especially since the state deregulated the industry five years ago. “I think before the nanobrew act was passed … we were at about 17 breweries in the state, and that included the big boys like Redhook and Anheuser-Busch,” HauptlyPierce said. There are now about 55 with about 25 more in the works, he said. “What we’re looking at right now is a tripling in size in five years,” Hauptly-Pierce said. Brewers see this trend with a mix of excitement and worry. “There’s some concern about the number of entrants [into the industry],” North said. The issue is twofold: the potential for market saturation and bad business plans where small operators spread themselves
too thin on distribution, fail to compete on quality or engage in effective marketing. For this reason, he foresees not a bursting bubble, but a thinning of the field. “I think it’s inevitable,” Hauptly-Pierce said.
Finding the ceiling
Analysts can only point to other markets to guess at a possible saturation point, and the characteristics of local markets can play a large role in determining it, according to economist Bart Watson with the Brewers Association. “While clearly there is a theoretical saturation point for the number of breweries, I think in most parts of the country — and this includes New Hampshire — we’re nowhere near it,” Watson said. Overall beer consumption has remained essentially flat in the U.S., though craft beer
has been stealing buyers away from the big macrobrewers like Anheuser-Busch. So far, the “high end” of the beer industry, which Watson defines as craft beer combined with imports and premiums, has carved out 12 percent of the market share by volume, 21 percent market share by dollars. This means macrobrewers still sell 88 percent of the beer consumed. But the Brewers Association set an aspirational goal of 20 percent market share by volume by 2020. Beyond that, Watson says the future is unclear. Looking at other markets like wine and coffee, he says it’s not uncommon for high-end segments to reach 30 to 40 percent market share by volume or 40 to 50 percent market share by dollars. He says saturation defined by the number of breweries rather than volume may be far off so long as the myriad nanobreweries and microbreweries focus on their local communities. “Breweries that make 1,000 barrels a year, that’s a very small share of the market,” Watson said. But much of the growth seen so far has been in a very tightly packed part of the country. Watson says 31 percent of the breweries that opened since 2012 were in the five states that had the most breweries that year and about 70 percent of craft beer production comes from just 10 states. Still, Watson says if New Hampshire is a market that appreciates craft beer, brewers can reach a high density here. “There’s still going to be plenty of niches for them to find,” Watson said. Vermont had the most breweries per capita with 9.4 breweries per 100,000 drinking-age adults in 2015, compared to 4.5 in New Hampshire. This year’s numbers may end differently, but today New Hampshire is closer to 5.5 and Vermont is about 11.1. Meanwhile, in 2013 New Hampshire

When the first falcon chicks hatched in the nest atop the Brady Sullivan tower in Manchester on May 1, an unseen village of humans became emotionally invested in their health, safety and upbringing. And thanks to a partnership between Single Digits, a Bedford tech company, and the New Hampshire Audubon Society, those humans could meet one another in the process. The Single Digits Live Peregrine Falcon Nest Cam was upgraded in March, just before the mother started laying eggs, to provide high-definition video, audio, adjustable angles and night vision. But just as important was a new chat feature on YouTube that was set up so viewers could ask questions about the falcons. Soon enough, however, it became a chat space for a core group who delighted in the shared experience and collectively narrated the six-week childhoods of four nestlings with perhaps more liberal imaginations than biologists would prefer.
The drama
As if it were a reality TV show, populated by characters with distinct personalities, regular viewers can recall many of the same scenes — like when Chicken Hawk stole away with an entire meal to greedily eat in the corner alone and Peanut snuck up and snatched it back when Chicken Hawk was briefly distracted. And who can forget when the others conspired to box Chicken Hawk out of the nest so Peanut could eat first for once, or when Peewee fell onto the outside ledge when a gust of wind tipped him over? And everyone recalls the banding with the same level of post-traumatic stress usually triggered by remembering a particularly shocking scene in HBO’s Game of Thrones known as the Red Wedding. The process involved removing the babies from the nest and putting tags on their legs. Many got to watch the process in person but for those watching the webcam’s view of the empty nest, it was a scene of panic and fear. “The day they got banded, I was so paranoid. The mother and father were flying around. I was hoping they wouldn’t get hurt because they were, like, spastic,” said Debbie Leighton of Manchester, a 54-year-old stay-at-home grandmother known for typing with all capital letters in the chat box due to her poor eyesight. “The parents were just so upset. They both got out there and they were squawking,” said David York of Weare, a quick-to-laugh

65-year-old collector of hobbies. The drama also captivated an entire classroom of preschoolers in Nashua. “Oh my goodness, that was the longest hour for all of us,” said Kristine Funk, a preschool teacher at Nashua Child Learning Center. Funk started showing her students the falcon cam on an iPad when the eggs were first laid, and it soon became an obsession for the whole class and eventually the rest of the preschool. While it was primarily a way to teach kids about springtime life cycles, Funk found herself watching the eggs hatch at 4 a.m. as her husband slept. “I noticed when the chicks were first born … dad came in and started pacing when one of the eggs hatched, like ‘What do I do, what do I do? It’s not an egg, it’s not an egg!’” Funk said. “It was hysterical. I was laughing so hard, I couldn’t wait until my husband woke up so I could tell him.”
The characters
The community of viewers gave the babies their unofficial names and swears they each shine as individuals. Chicken Hawk, the oldest female, was always the largest and more aggressive. As a chick, she would edge out the smaller chicks to get the first helpings of food from the mom, and as she became bigger and stronger, that behavior seemed to worsen. Pistachio, the second female, was born next. She may be the sarcastic one, always

throwing shade with a cockeyed look at the others’ antics. Like that one time when Chicken Hawk was being unusually playful with her food. “[Chicken Hawk] was just hopping and bopping all over the place,” said York. “And … Pistachio was looking at her like, ‘What is wrong with you?’” And Pistachio is said to always spend her time hanging out with her fellow middle sibling, Peewee. Peewee is the third falcon to hatch and the first male. Ever since his big adventure with the ledge, he has been seen as the more adventurous of the group, regularly jumping out onto the ledge long before the others worked up the courage to do the same. And Peanut, a second male, is the favored underdog. “Everyone always roots for the smallest and youngest one … Peanut,” said Anne Pardo, an administrative assistant from Weare who works at a Manchester law firm. At first it seemed like he was being overlooked during feedings, but Pardo says the mother always made sure to feed him after the older, more insistent siblings got their fill. “He just is so cute. I mean, everybody latched onto him immediately. He’s the strategist of the group,” said York. Biologists say many of these perceived personalities and interactions are more likely just amateurs creating stories based on human experiences and judging wild animals by the same measure we would other humans, with little knowledge of how raptors normally behave. For instance, many watched as both the father and mother took turns keeping the eggs warm but as soon as the chicks
hatched, the father was rarely seen, causing some to speculate about his attentiveness or worry for his well-being. But while viewers couldn’t see him, he was actually never far away. He was hunting for food, delivering it to the mother outside the nest and going straight back for more.

The viewers
(YOGA, BARRE AND PILATES)
Folks like Pardo, York and Leighton expressed their gratitude to the Audubon and Single Digits for setting up the camera and the chat box. They watch the falcons at the office and at home and sometimes leave the video feed on at all hours of the day and night. Last week the birds all “fledged” — began to fly — but unfortuANNE PARDO nately, it didn’t go smoothly for all. Peewee, living up to his character, was the first to jump but days later the group was in mourning after he was found dead on a nearby roadway. It’s believed Peewee was grounded by an injury and later struck by a car. Pistachio was also injured almost immediately after taking the plunge, but York — who was in town — stayed with the bird in the parking lot until specialists from Wings of the Dawn rehab center picked her up. She was delivered back to the nest soon after. Still, some of these people-friendships may continue well into the future. “I think I will probably have some longterm friendships from this. A lot of us seem to be local,” York said. In fact, the gang, most of whom have never met in person, scheduled a meetup in Manchester for June 18. And a Facebook group called Manchester NH Falcon Fans was recently formed with about 100 members already.
Everyone always roots for the smallest and youngest one ... Peanut.

John Levasseur of Epping is the coordinator of the Manchester Police Athletic League. He’s been the coordinator since May 2015, but he’s been involved with MPAL for the past 10 years. The organization’s Michael Briggs Community Center recently underwent a $1.8 million renovation through Building on Hope. What is the mission of MPAL? To work with at-risk youth in the city, being able to give them programs to keep them off the street and keep them busy and to have a … positive interaction with police. It’s more to break the barriers between cops and kids as well. … Most interactions sometimes with police officers, it’s usually not a pleasant one on the streets. Sometimes it is, but rarely that’s the case because we’re responding to calls, we’re having to arrest people for certain crimes they commit and the kids see that and the kids are getting in trouble. So this is to have a different relationship with us, more of a positive one, to get to really know us and to understand what we do for a job. They’ll ask a lot of questions about why we do certain things and how we do them. I can explain that to them.

Rail trail construction moving along — finally
By midsummer, the first phase of Salem’s nearly two-mile rail trail will be completed, according to an Eagle Tribune article. Steady progress has been made on the project, which was first proposed two decades ago. When finished, the former Boston & Maine railroad bed will be paved and ready to accommodate cyclists, walkers and others, connecting to the Windham Rail Trail and extending to downtown Derry. The project runs parallel to Route 28 and is part of the Granite State Rail Trail, a proposed 115-mile trail from Lawrence, Massachusetts, to Lebanon. QOL Score: +1 (QOL loves rail trails) Comment: Construction had been delayed a year due to skyrocketing costs. The second phase of construction will start next year.
Needlecast strikes again
75
A fungus called needlecast has been turning white pine needles in New Hampshire yellow and brown this spring, according to an Associated Press article. UNH researchers say the tree has struggled with needlecast since 2010, and that this year’s brown needles are a result of last year’s wet weather, which favors spore formation and infection by fungi. QOL Score: -1 Comment: The trees are otherwise healthy — the brown needles will shed in a few weeks, and green will be left — but the repeated defoliation can weaken the trees and make them susceptible to other pests and diseases, according to the story.
Safe state
According to a state-by-state grading by WalletHub, New Hampshire is the third-safest state in the nation, followed by Vermont and Massachusetts — in fact, the New England states filled the top six spots in the rankings. The study looked at community safety, financial safety, road safety, workplace safety and safety from natural disasters. Compared to other New England states, New Hampshire had the highest overall rank for financial safety (fourth nationwide) but the lowest overall rank for community safety (10th nationwide). The drug crisis may be to blame for the latter. QOL Score: +1 Comment: Massachusetts was ranked first for road safety. What?!

Job growth slow but upward
A new study by New Hampshire Employment Security shows steady job growth between 2014 and 2024 in its newest projections, which they release every two years. About 47,000 jobs are expected to be added over that decade, most of them in the service industries. The annual growth is slow, at just .68 percent each year on average. There are projected job openings in the healthcare and social services sectors, and in technical services. QOL Score: +1 Comment: Manufacturing jobs will drop by 1 percent, but the demand for jobs in that sector is expected to remain high.
Nursing home costs
The cost of living in a nursing home facility is high in the Granite State. A recent study by Caregiverlist.com places New Hampshire in the Top 10 list as the state with the ninth-highest costs in the nation. The average daily cost is calculated to be $293.57 amongst the 80 nursing homes across the state from which data was available. That’s $106,945 annually. Analysts reach these figures by looking at Medicare data and calling individual facilities. QOL Score: -1 Comment: These data do not include any facilities that don’t participate in Caregiverlist’s surveys, and these are initial fees that may increase.

ing on LeBron, who is playing in his sixth straight Final, something no non-Celtic has ever done. As if having a point guard who doesn’t pass, an inexperienced coach that can’t make any defensive adjustments and playing with no one who can cover Thompson or Steph Curry is his fault. Nonetheless if they lose, as most expect, he’ll be 2-5 in seven Finals appearances. That has him looking a little like the ’90s Atlanta Braves, who were in the playoffs 14 straight years with top talent and only won the World Series once. OK maybe it’s more like Jerry West playing in nine NBA Finals and winning just once. Either way, the legacy will take another hit. Then there is wondering who from either Cleveland or Oak City puts Green’s proclivity for hitting below the belt into the memory banks in the way Karl Malone once did for ’80/’90s Pistons. In an enough-is-enough move for repeated underhanded, cheap shot, dirty play he drilled Isiah Thomas in mid-air one day on a breakaway. Forty-three stitches later Isiah got the message from the Mailman’s brand of industrial justice. Like supposed good guy Chuck Daily looking the other way, Golden State describes Green as “emotional” to explain bad behavior toward Steve Kerr during games and a building array of cheap shots. But one man’s “emotion” is another man’s cheap shot and while a one-game suspension in the Finals is a significant penalty, the message is never received by a guy like that until someone delivers a well-placed elbow to his teeth. Anyway, unless things change quickly, attention turns to what Danny Ainge will do next week with that third pick — Kevin Love, Jahlil Okafor, keep it, or maybe something bigger? I’m for the last one, but we’ll soon see what happens. In the meantime hope this debacle takes a turn for the better. Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress.com.

you really noticing, until the smoke clears and you see a game devoid of what once was so vital a thing — a dominating big man — in favor of smurfs launching threes from everywhere. The other thing is how bad/antiquated the coaching is defensively. Much has been made of the sophistication of NBA defense starting in the ’90s with double downs and defenders rotating to the ball to take away the easy shots in lieu of leaving the guy the farthest from the basket alone. But today, that guy is now the most dangerous shooter as Klay Thompson shows with great regularity. Now they just stand in the far corner waiting for what once was a taboo pass — the cross-court over-the-top skip pass — to catch and hoist up for a deadly/deflating three-point shot. It happens 25 times a game, yet weak side defenders still cheat to the middle to stop penetration to the basket, which leaves that guy in the corner even more open. I can tell you from personal experience, the hardest guy to cover is the one you can’t wander even a centimeter from because if you do it’s gone before you could get back to defend it. The NBA is full of those guys now. Can you imagine Bill Belichick allowing his team to still play that way? No. His method is to eliminate one key aspect of an opponent’s game forcing them to plan B or C. In this case, he would overplay Thompson so he can’t get the kick pass into the corner and play Curry up in his grill forcing him to drive. Where if he gets by you, OK, because it’s two points instead of three. That’s a basketball version of Coach B putting just two guys on the line and inviting Denver to run for 250 yards because he surmised it was better than letting the red hot Peyton Manning chuck it all over the field, which worked since the Pats won. The bottom-line is NBA coaches have to alter their defensive principles to what’s happening today. Beyond that there have only been two points of drama. The first is the usual pil-

With Golden State on the brink of their second straight title as I write this, so far we’ve seen one of the worst NBA Finals since maybe the Baltimore Bullets of Earl Monroe and Wes Unseld got run out in four straight by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the Bucks in 1971. There’s probably another couple in there to match that one since, but that’s the first that came to mind. Not even Golden State’s 1974, also against the Bullets, the last time they won before 2015, was as bad since Rick Barry was so unstoppable Bullets Coach KC Jones sent reserve guard Mike Riordan into Game 4 with the express mission of starting a fight with Barry to get them both kicked out of the game. So along with seeing an NBA version of a human sacrifice, at least there was drama in that one. Maybe that’s what Draymond Laimbeer, ah, I mean Green was doing with LeBron James at the end of Game 4 with his third hit to a player’s nether regions in the last two series. For once the NBA did the right thing, kicked out the guy who started it and not the innocent guy just responding to a cheap shot. Of course if David Stern were still commissioner my inner Oliver Stone would’ve probably thought it was a ploy to eliminate a key Golden State player while keeping LeBron playing to help his ABC/ESPN masters by having the series go longer. So thank goodness for Adam Silver. It is striking how different the Warriors’ three-ball-dominated game is from how basketball was played in just the Michael Jordan era. Except maybe for Dennis Rodman, who routinely did what every Warrior does after getting any offensive rebound — chuck it back behind the line for a three without even looking to put it back up for two. It’s amazing how things gradually change before your eyes without

Mike Riordan: Major guy off the bench when the Knicks won the NBA title in 1970. Went the other way in the aforementioned trade of the Pearl to the Knicks where his most remembered move in Baltimore was trying to start that fight with Rick Barry in the 1974 Finals. KC Jones: Celtics Hall of Famer known for two things: being a great defender and a good luck charm when it came to winning. The latter included two collegiate titles with U of San Francisco, eight titles in nine years in Boston, a title as an assistant coach with the Lakers when they won 33 straight in 1970-71 and two more as HC of the ’80s Celtics. Earl Monroe: Whirling, twirling guard with the great moniker “Earl the Pearl.” Taken second overall by Baltimore out of Winston-Salem to score 23.8 points per while becoming Rookie of the Year. The next year it was 24.8. A 1971 contract holdout led to a trade to New York, where he was an All-Timer who earned spots in the Hall of Fame and on the NBA’s Top 50 all-time players list. Draymond Laimbeer: Euphemism for the dirtiest, most dastardly player in NBA history, Bill Laimbeer of the ’80s Detroit Pistons. Oliver Stone: Film director known for seeing conspiracies everywhere. The craziest was launching a theory in JFK that 25,000 people were in on a CIA conspiracy to assassinate JFK on Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas.

Last week, the first cohort of about 50 students who were able to spend all four years of high school at the Manchester School of Technology graduated. The time they spent in school was largely characterized by the freedom they had to experiment with new ideas, tinker with various machines and tools, explore technical careers through job shadowing and complete projects that almost always resulted in the creation of something useful. In many ways, this is the opposite of the cookie-cutter classroom experience HIPPO | JUNE 16 - 22, 2016 | PAGE 14
most of us are accustomed to — shackled to a desk, nose in a book, hands used for writing and little else. Recent graduate Anthony Mulone used to tag along with his mechanic dad when he worked, and by eighth grade he knew what he wanted and what he didn’t want. “I see how packed the schools are and I wasn’t going to be comfortable in that tight of a space. I never really liked sitting at a desk,” Mulone said. He, like many of the students at MST, described himself as “hands-on,” someone whose learning styles are better suited to the project-based curriculum the school provides.
“It’s really brains-on,” said Dan Cassidy, who teaches manufacturing and welding at MST. Cassidy says there’s been a cultural shift recently as more people start to recognize that these vocational programs really require a lot of technical know-how and math. Where once schools like MST were treated as de facto dumping grounds for unruly kids or students who were failing academically, today they’re a haven for a different kind of nerd who likes to create things and wants to use their knowledge for something they can connect to the real world. “My first year here was very interesting.
There were some hard-core kids with a lot of drug problems,” Cassidy said. But this new batch of kids is a breed of capable workers who will be equipped to not only fill some desperately needed holes in the job market, but make a decent income in the process. Unfortunately, there was a period of time when we stopped producing that kind of workforce, according to Cassidy. “There’s a generation that was not trained [in the hands-on trades],” Cassidy said. In the dawn of the internet age, students were encouraged to join fields like IT; as a result, we failed to train enough plumbers,
When Russ Small of Chester was in his 20s, he didn’t know what he wanted to do with his life. After he got out of basic training for the National Guard, his buddy got him a job as a loader at a shipping dock for True Value. He would load trucks every day, making about $16 an hour. After about eight years, he knew it was a dead end. “Me and my buddy were like, ‘We’re better than this.’ I wanted more for myself,” Small said. Thinking he would become an electrician, he enrolled at a community college and became an HVAC mechanic. Soon after, he took plumbing classes and added that to his repertoire by the time he was 26. Today he’s 39, and he’s considered to be among the youngest plumbers in New Hampshire. He recalls sitting in a room of 30 plumbers brushing up on the state code to renew their licenses last year. Only one guy was younger than him, in his 30s. The rest were in their 50s. “Our apprenticeship program been basically the same in the last 40 years. It hasn’t changed and we have to upgrade it,” said Bill Trombly Jr., the president of Bill Trombly Plumbing, Heating and Cooling. Trombly, who is also the current chairman of the state’s mechanical licensing board, sees the issue on many levels. As an employer himself, he struggles to find plumbers. “For my company, I’ve been looking for a licensed plumber probably for … a month,” Trombly said. As someone who sees the need for educating new plumbers, he’s seen high school programs shrink and disappear. And as chair of the licensing board, he sees barriers for people who might be interested in the trade. Since the apprenticeship program is designed for young people straight out of high school, the pay is prohibitively low for some people in the first few years. Small said you make about $12 an hour. And since employers can’t bill for their work,
Closely paired with plumbing and pipefitting, other fields of building repair are also in demand. Russ Small recently finished a bathroom remodel at a townhouse in Nashua. He says the project involved a lot of skills beyond plumbing. “Most of my work is more carpentry than it is plumbing, I bet. Because once I

they’re limited by how many apprentices they can take on. “In today’s society, you can’t afford to have two guys on the truck and only being paid for one,” Trombly said. Also, the plumbing classes are required by state law to be four years, which scares off potential tradesmen and slows the production of new workers. Trombly said he’s working to change that to two or three years through new legislation and more effective curricula. “In another 10 years or so, if things don’t change, we could be in a crisis,” Trombly said. While employers might be raising wages to attract workers, most have held the line on prices by finding efficiencies in vehicles and other areas. But that won’t last for long. “I think prices are going to go up [because of] supply and demand,” said Dave Pelletier at the state’s plumber and steamfitter union. He said they used to see about 100 applications for apprenticeships in a year, but this year they only had about 14. There are currently about 460 plumbing apprentices in the state. Trombly said about 10 years ago he would have normally seen 1,000 apprentices. There are now only about 3,000 licensed plumbers — “not a lot,” Trombly said. “I think in the future there’s going to be more money to be made,” Pelletier said. “There’s going to be all these baby boomers that need work done on their homes, on their second homes, new buildings. And there just aren’t enough people around to do that work.” To become a plumber one needs to get an apprenticeship either directly with an employer or through the union, which pairs you with a master plumber. You get licensed as an apprentice and get an apprentice card. During your roughly two-or-three-year apprenticeship, you must complete four years of training at one of the few state programs. There’s one at MST. Then you take an exam to get licensed by the state. Trombly says it costs about $1,500 to $2,000 a year for the plumber and gasfitter training. And he estimates plumbers make between about $60,000 and about $85,000 annually.

mechanics and manufacturers. And as women have seen their career options open up in recent decades, roles traditionally filled by them, like nurses and teachers, have seen their numbers begin to dwindle. Even bakers are struggling to hire help. In New Hampshire, these job holes are expected to widen in the next several years due partly to industry growth but mostly because of imminent baby boomer retirements and a loss of new workers to neighboring states that offer better pay. Here’s a look at some of the jobs the Granite State expects will have an increased need for workers, what the work is like and how to enter these fields.

throw the tub and the valve in, it’s the tile guys, then it’s the carpentry guys putting the vanity in, finish all the molding, putting the paint on the thing,” Small said. “If you’re a plumber, you’ve got to get into everything, electrical, carpentry … to a certain extent.” Additional technical fields in need include regular building maintenance — which may not necessarily require licensing — for simpler repair projects, carpentry, electric repair, as well as air conditioning repair and installation. The latter is often abbreviated as HVAC, which stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. HVAC workers are in such high demand right now, companies are snatching them up after only one year of training in community college, assuming they finish eventually with night courses, according to Trombly. Manchester Community College is constructing a new building to expand its hugely popular HVAC program. There’s also a four-year HVAC school offered by the state. “You can get an HVAC degree for $1,200 … and you can get a job the next day making $60,000 to $100,000,” Trombly said. General maintenance and repairmen were listed by the state’s labor projections to have the most job openings with high school level education or equivalent requirements; that’s 158 average annual openings from 2014 to 2024, according to New Hampshire Employment Security. If you add car and diesel engine mechanics, industrial mechanics, carpenters, HVAC workers, electricians, plumbers and steamfitters to that list, the number goes up to 496. Electricians are facing the same flood of retirements the plumbers foresee. And like plumbers, they have to work hard to break into the field. A would-be electrician needs to compile 8,000 hours of apprentice work in order to become a journeyman and that usually takes about four years working full time. At the same time, they must take four years of electrical classes, about 600 hours. For those living too far to attend classes at Department of Education-run schools, online courses are available. Community colleges such as MCC and Lakes Region Community College in Laconia offer an electrical associate degree as well, but while an associate degree is not required by the state to be licensed, the program fulfills the 600 hours needed in half the time. The state also offers American Service Excellence certification for all kinds of car repair. There are 40 different tests you can take to get certified for things like collision repair, heavy truck repair and more. You HIPPO | JUNE 16 - 22, 2016 | PAGE 16

must have work experience to start adding these credentials to your resume. But students can take a student ASE test without any work experience to get a good start in the career. The Environmental Protection Agency also requires anyone who works with or purchases refrigerants to take and pass an exam.
Dan Cassidy, the MST teacher, believes the middle class is built on manufacturing. The state projects the industry need for machinists to be the second highest after general repair and maintenance workers by 2024. Mulone, the recent graduate of MST, said he’s already well into his first year at Nashua Community College taking a class called Advanced Manufacturing for Precision Machine Tools. He hopes to soon get a job at a place like GE in Hooksett where he can run a CNC (computer numerical control) mill, a sophisticated boxy machine that is programmed by its operator to automatically cut, drill and mold metal and plastic objects into specific parts needed in large supply for future complex assemblies. While Cassidy came from a welding and mechanic background, he encourages his students to pursue machining because it pays well and the education is relatively cheap. Two years at a community college costs about $12,000 and one can easily earn about $70,000 as a CNC operator. Cassidy knows a former student who is currently getting his master’s degree in engineering at the University of New Hampshire who is earning $40,000 just by working as a part-time machinist.
And more money can be made by working your way up in a company to the point where you oversee a “cell” of machines and their operators. The return on investment is high, and Cassidy said one big area of need isn’t at the top of the manufacturing food chain, but somewhere in the middle. “I think the money to be made is between the ‘rocket scientists,’ the chief engineers, and the operators. Somebody who can communicate between these people who think … and these people who see what’s going on,” Cassidy said.
The most valuable employees for manufacturers, much like with plumbers, are those with know-how in a lot of different areas. “The important thing is they learn how to use basic hand tools, problem-solve, research and work in groups. That’s an employer’s dream,” Cassidy said. He encourages students to pursue postsecondary education, but he thinks too many students aren’t getting into the machining field. Cassidy said parents tend to push kids away from manufacturing because it’s viewed as menial labor for low pay. And he is all too familiar with the source of the stigma attached to manufacturing — memories of the turn-of-the-century mills, what he calls “true sweatshops.” “My whole family came from the mills in Manchester. My grandfather ran the boiler room down there; my father was the greaser and greased machines all day,” Cassidy said. But he said that’s no longer the reality. Conditions are much cleaner and more comfortable than they once were. “In reality, somebody sooner or later has to make that table. Somebody sooner or later has to sew something together,” Cassidy said. Nowadays, Cassidy is noticing more girls in his classroom, which may serve to bolster the workforce need in this area. Ironically, the movement away from the traditional division of labor between the sexes in America over the years has had the opposite effect in other fields, like teaching and nursing.

When Sue Lemire and her twin sister Simone were very young, they both knew what they wanted to do. “My mother was a nurse and by the time [my sister and I] were in third grade we knew that’s what we were going to be doing,” Lemire said. Lemire is a charge nurse, which is like a supervisor, at the cardiac unit of Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, and a baby boomer who plans on retiring soon. “I don’t plan on going to 65. I plan on going two more years, [retiring when I’m] 62,” Lemire said. And she’s noticing other baby boomers in the field are probably going to retire early as well, due in part to the growing stress of the job and the demands on their time. But Lemire still loves what she does. The New Hampshire native said it was a calling, and income was not a driving force. “We certainly didn’t get paid a lot when we started, 37 years ago,” Lemire said. But times have changed since then. CMC’s Director of Nursing Jennifer Torosian says a registered nurse in New Hampshire can make around $29 an hour. At 2,000 hours a year, that would equate to about $58,000. The most recent wage survey by Employment Security pegs the starting rate at $24.43 and the mean wage at about $32.30. Currently, CMC employs about 650 registered nurses with associate’s degrees and bachelor’s degrees and about 20 nurse

practitioners with master’s degrees. And there are openings for about 20 full-time and part-time nursing positions that vary by specialty. So, far the hospital is finding most of the nursing staff it needs by graduation season, but that’s not going to last for long as the state projects there will be 491 job openings for registered nurses between 2014 and 2024. About 60 percent of those openings are from “replacements” while the remaining ones are from growth in the healthcare industry. “We face some challenges now,” Torosian said. She said that even though the hospital

partners with educational institutions in the state to provide scholarships, tuition reimbursement programs and bonus incentive programs, schools have a limited number of slots for nursing students. “Five or six years ago… there used to be about 400 applicants; now they’re lucky if they have a dozen,” Lemire said. “There’s more leaving than coming in.” As a labor statistic category, registered nurses constituted the greatest number of projected job openings in the state regardless of education level. One must at least have an associate’s degree to become an RN, but hospitals like CMC are pushing to get their nurses to obtain their bachelor’s degrees (BSN). That’s in order for the hospital to obtain Magnet status, a seal that requires a number of bars be reached in an effort to improve the quality of care, including that 80 percent of its bedside nursing staff be BSNs. Lemire’s sister Simone hurt her back just two years into her nursing career and decided to become a nursing instructor at Manchester Community College. Despite the push for more BSNs, Lemire always relays what Simone tells her: Do community college first. That’s because it’s far cheaper and you can start working two years in. “The difference is you’re coming out with a $70,000 to $80,000 loan, versus $150,000 or $200,000. That’s the difference if you go to a community college,” Lemire said. But there’s an unintended consequence of this push that may further hinder hospitals’ ability to fully staff their nursing shifts. “Once you open the door for the BSN, they’re going for their master’s and becoming [physician assistants] or nurse practitioners,” Lemire said. And that’s already starting to happen.
“We have several nurses now who are going back to become a nurse practitioner, so then we are not able to keep them in the pipeline,” Torosian said. Once they become nurse practitioners, they are considered a type of “provider” in New Hampshire, and therefore get paid more with a less intensive workload. Their mean hourly wage is about $51.06, a 58-percent raise and a move into six-digit salaries. That makes for an attractive career move for anyone in the nursing field, but it also means fewer rank-and-file bedside nurses. Still, the state has need for NPs as well. They top the list of job openings that require a master’s-level education (followed by occupational therapists and physician assistants), with 46 projected openings until 2024. But 60 percent of those openings are actually a result of industry growth and 30 percent due to replacements. New Hampshire hospitals also have Massachusetts healthcare institutions to contend with. Hospitals in the Bay State can offer $35 per hour for someone who would earn about $29 per hour up here. Lemire said she hears from some newly minted nurses who live in Massachusetts and commute to New Hampshire to work, that the Massachusetts hospitals don’t want to hire anyone without at least a few years of work experience. So they get that experience up here and move back home when they can get a job that’s closer. Torosian estimates the turnover for new nurses is around one to five years, and this may be one of the contributing causes. The statewide turnover rate for registered nurses was nearly 14 percent in 2015, according to the New Hampshire Hospital Association. Lemire said that with advances in medicine over the years, their jobs have only gotten more complex as new interventions are added to their toolkits and patients are staying alive longer than they used to. “We’re getting lots of 98-year-olds, 99-year-olds and 100-year-olds on this floor,” Lemire said. And the heroin epidemic in the Northeast has also changed the job in many ways. Lemire said fresh grads are in for a lot of heart-wrenching moments as they see the number of often young people — sometimes as young as 18 or 19 — coming in for opiate overdoses mount. And many of them don’t survive, Lemire adds. The 439 overdose deaths seen in New Hampshire last year belie the thousands of overdoses where first responders intervened with Narcan to bring the patients from the brink of death. Lemire has also noticed more men graduating as nurses these days, but the field is still dominated by women.
One wouldn’t think of bakers as being as much in demand as repairmen and nurses, but the state does project a number of job openings in this field. One reason is the category definition used to track the statistics is very broad. It includes the small mom-andpop shops, plus grocery stores, restaurants and commercial production facilities. Restaurants, caterers and food manufacturers together make up half of the bakers in New Hampshire. The self-employed baker working in the little bakery around the corner is only a small piece of the pie — nearly 6 percent of the bakers in the state. But even those little guys are feeling the pressure caused by a crimped supply of new bakers. For those looking to become artisan bakers, there are some college-level programs like the Bakery and Pastry Arts associate program at SNHU, which offers internships at restaurants and study abroad opportunities. Another route is apprenticeship under a local artisan baker. The state lists bakers as only requiring a high school level education and folks like Franz Andlinger, the owner of Bread and Chocolate in Concord, are willing to take on apprentices without any baking knowledge.

There are a lot of parallels to be drawn between the nursing and teaching professions. Both were traditionally female jobs that relied on a steady stream of workers who had few other choices only a few decades ago. “When my mother graduated from high school, she had the choice of being a nurse, a teacher or a secretary. That was it,” said Scott McGilvray, the president of NEA New Hampshire, the statewide teachers union. He says about 70 to 75 percent of teachers today are female and, now that they have more options, fewer are getting into teaching. “This is not a problem that was created overnight,” McGilvray said. One potential barrier is that teachers are held to high standards of education and training. For example, they must take exams to show proficiency in the area they want to teach in and renew their certifications every three years, a process that requires them to have done 75 hours of professional development. This may seem burdensome to some folks considering teaching, but as with medical professionals, McGilvray says teachers must be held to high standards that shouldn’t be lowered just to fill the ranks quickly. McGilvray thinks one thing keeping people from becoming teachers is bad PR. He says public schools get a bad rap from all the media coverage of school district budget woes and school board squabbling, but there are a lot of success stories in the schools that don’t get told. Meanwhile, some laws make the Granite State a less attractive place to teach, according to McGilvray, such as a five-year probationary period for new teachers. During that time, they can be terminated without just cause or an appeal process with hearings. “No other state in the country has that many years of probation,” McGilvray said. There are currently about 14,500 teachers in New Hampshire, and while enrollment is dropping due to aging demographics, retirements are increasing for the same reason. The greatest needs are in preschools, elementary schools and middle schools. Preschool teachers can get certified with an associate’s degree while the others require a bachelor’s. While the state projected teaching to be a favorable job market, it fell short of the most favorable category because of declining enrollment. Despite this, there are expected to be 154 elementary school teacher openings, 134 secondary school teacher openings and 99 preschool teacher openings, largely due to retirements. There are also some critical shortages in special fields of teaching, especially in STEM. “Are you gonna become a science teacher at Central High School or are you gonna go down to Dyn and work there?” McGilva-
ry said. Generally, with a bachelor’s degree and some training to get certified, one can become a teacher earning anywhere between roughly $33,000 and $73,000 per year, according to the New Hampshire Department of Education. The average annual salary for teachers at public schools was $56,616 in the 20152016 school year. The average starting pay was $36,149. The pay largely varies by what part of the state you’re working in. The comparison to nurses starts to break down when you look at professional development. While getting a master’s degree is usually a lucrative move for most nurses, it may actually hinder one’s ability to get a teaching job as many public school districts cannot afford to employ master’s-level teachers, according to McGilvray. Becoming a teacher often starts in college but the amount of time would-be teachers spend in K-12 classrooms during their training has increased a great deal over the years. “You used to just go through, do a few observations during your first three years and then for 12 to 16 weeks you student teach and then you’d be off,” McGilvray said. Now, a student teacher starts spending time in schools doing a lot of in-depth work, like crafting curricula, during each semester. Generally students take the Praxis 1 exam before finishing college. If they pass they can start student teaching, and ultimately they take the Praxis 2 and file paperwork with the DOE to get certified.

All that’s required is passion and a willingness to learn. “There is a lot of interest and there are a lot of opportunities,” Andlinger said. Some of the recent interest is coming from popular Food Network shows, but Andlinger says too often kids are given false expectations that they’ll become quick masters without putting in the blood, sweat and tears. “The kids see those shows and they want to be the next Emeril. They want to be the next Bobby Flay, whoever,” Andlinger said. “Those are highly skilled people and you’re not going to break into something like that on a whim. It’s very highly competitive.” Andlinger is currently hiring an apprentice, but for the past two months or so he hasn’t gotten many bites. An artisan baker from Europe, Andlinger says he can make an apprentice into a baker in just one year, two at the most. During the apprenticeship, the student would be paid about minimum wage. After that, they would be paid between $10 and $12 per hour. His best employees he’d pay between $12 and $16. But there isn’t a steady supply of new apprentices and folks rarely stay more than a year. Many kids just need a summer job. In the 25 years he’s been in business, he’s only apprenticed about seven people. The real money for artisan bakers is when they become self-employed. Andlinger says when a qualified baker goes into business for himself, he can make anywhere between $75,000 and $250,000 per year — not bad for just a high school education. But if they want to scale up their business, they might be in for a rude awakening. “I think it’s great that there is so much
opportunity for people to open up their own places, but for somebody that is looking for additional people, [they’re] probably going to come to the realization that it’s not going to happen,” Andlinger said. Some have turned to migrant workers to solve this problem. “Some of the bigger bakeries, if they have bigger orders or the holidays are coming, they can just call up an organization and say, ‘I need 15 bakers for a couple weeks,’” Andlinger said. Some large-scale bakery operations for retailed bread products in the area, like Rustic Crust in Pittsfield, also use foreign workers in the country with long-term work visas. “We have folks from Indonesia, Nepal, we have a few Hispanic folks,” said Rustic Crust CEO Brad Sterl.

He estimates around 20 to 25 percent of his workforce is visa workers. Sterl’s company has grown in leaps and bounds in only a few short years, but he’d grow faster if it weren’t so hard to find commercial bakery workers. “We don’t see it getting any easier,” Sterl said. In 2005, he had 12 employees. Since then Rustic Crust has grown about 30 to 40 percent each year. Sterl says he had about 100 employees in 2014 and just two short years later he’s up to about 170. He estimates about 135 of those are directly involved in the baking. “When your business is growing at that pace, getting the new people to do the jobs … that’s the task,” Sterl said. The state only projects 16 job openings for bakers from 2014 to 2024, but since Sterl has 15 unfilled positions right now and wants to reach 200 employees by this time next year, that might be understating things.
Every company needs people to crunch the numbers to make sure they are keeping track of money going out and coming in. They need them to help with taxes. And occasionally the most advanced accountants are needed to look at a company’s numbers to give an outside perspective, an in-depth review and an opinion on how well the numbers can be trusted. To be an accountant, one must first obtain a bachelor’s degree in accounting. A number of local programs exist at UNH and SNHU. From there, folks can start working as accounting clerks. Alison Perrella, a co-managing partner at Howe, Riley & Howe, says starting pay for entry-level clerks is usually around $20 per hour. But the possibilities for higher salaries are seemingly endless as the state and nation are facing a massive shortage of accountants. Perrella, who started accounting in the mid-1980s, remembers when the opposite was true.
“In our day, there was a huge competition amongst employees to get jobs. There were more of us boomers out there than there were jobs,” Perrella said. But the industry is desperate for new blood now, and that means higher pay. “We bend over backward to try to attract and retain and recruit people,” Perrella said. “Everyone is paying more than they should or could just to recruit and retain candidates.” In New Hampshire the average yearly pay for accountants was about $68,000 annually in 2015 according to NHES. Experienced accountants earn up to $78,000. For the really advanced accountants known as Certified Public Accountants, such as Perrella, pay is a closely guarded number so firms they compete with don’t catch wind of it and scoop up all the new grads. “Literally, it is that competitive to get candidates to come work for you,” Perrella said. With a bachelor’s degree, you can work your way up in a company to the position of controller (manager of accounting department) or chief financial officer if you are part of a startup. CPAs work in public accounting firms as independent auditors who can opine on another company’s spreadsheets or help companies with their taxes as consultants. But to be a CPA requires accountants to get a master’s degree. Then, after a few years working in a public accounting firm and training for the CPA exam, they take the test to become certified with the state. Then it takes 40 hours of training each year to keep the license. Perrella said firms in New Hampshire are finding that even if they can grab the new grads as they walk off the proverbial graduation stage, the recruits don’t often stick around. “A year or two or three in, after the training, they find either sitting and taking the CPA is difficult … or they end up finding that they want to be with their friends in a more urban area,” Perrella said. While the shortage is nationwide, this phenomenon may be worse in New Hampshire because accountants are finding slightly better pay in Boston, young people enjoy urban areas more, and places to the south offer a cheaper cost of living and warmer climates. So, even if they don’t become CPAs, they can earn more money and buy more with it in other places. Plus, CPA work gets very busy during tax season — you are required to work six-day weeks for three months of the year — and some may see that as a barrier to a good work-life balance. But sticking with it can have sizeable returns in the long term. According to the 2016 Robert Half Salary Guide, experienced CPAs with management roles in small or midsized firms can easily earn sixdigit salaries, from $108,000 to as much as $172,000. Large firms pay up to $200,000 for a managing partner.

ARTS Creative kids
Downtown Nashua sees public visual, literary art courtesy of middle schoolers By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
At the center of downtown Nashua stands a tall structure decorated with about 60 poems. It’s located between Main Street and the Riverwalk Cafe and Music Bar, where the Christmas tree usually stands during the city’s annual Holiday Stroll, and it’s covered in wooden panels with pieces written in different styles and texts. Themes touch on memories, time, jealousy, war, home, death, loneliness, anxiety, poetry and the imagination, and many poems are accompanied by black and white sketched illustrations. They were all written by Elm Street Middle School students this spring — but try not to act too surprised. “I don’t think a lot of people [realize] what kids our age are really capable of,” said Teraysa Majewski, a 14-yearold eighth-grader from Elm Street Middle School, during an after-school celebration with the school’s photography and writing club, facilitated by art teacher Karen Munz and English teacher JoAnne Del Greco, respectively. Majewski, who has two pieces up as part of the Totem Poems project, stayed after school that day with a couple other young writers whose pieces decorate the structure, including 14-year-old eighth-grader Summer Metcalf and 11-year-old sixth-grader Emma Hall. They wrote the pieces during the latest ARTventures: Nashua project, which involved City Arts Nashua, artist (and City Arts Nashua consultant) Jerry Beck, poet Ed Marshall and novelist Roy Goodman, who provided encouragement — not editorial help, Beck said — to the middle-

schoolers during in-school and after-school poetry writing workshops. “Basically they would just help us write poems. They would give us tips that could inspire us,” Majewski said. “One of the tips they gave us was, if you’re writing poetry and you’re trying to size it down, pretend every word is costing you $10.” Metcalf said the artists told kids to look at their surroundings in a new way. Sometimes they brought in photos for inspiration, other times, they gave the title and the students had to fill in the rest. “The first time we met, since [our table] was super quiet, [Beck] made us write a poem called ‘The Quiet People,’” Hall said. This year, the kids in Nashua have been given more opportunity to participate in downtown art creation, with thanks in part to lots of groups, schools and organizations. ARTventures: Nashua, which Beck cre-

ated with City Arts Nashua in 2015, also facilitated the creation of six art sculptures downtown created by 400 individuals, including kids from the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua, the YMCA of Greater Nashua, the Gate City Charter School for the Arts and Nashua High School South. The projects feed off Beck’s experience facilitating community art in other New England cities like Boston and Lowell. The concept for Totem Poems first saw the streets of Boston decades ago, and Beck thought New Hampshire could use something like it. “I’m an avid poetry reader. And in New Hampshire and New England, we have some of the greatest living American poets, living right here in our neck of the woods,” Beck said via phone. Outside ARTventures, Del Greco is in the second year of organizing another lit-

erary public art project with the school. During one of the writing club meetings, she challenged kids to write poems inspired by photos taken by photography club students, and from May 13 to June 18, 15 of those photos and accompanying writing pieces lined the Nashua River Rail Trail on posts. And soon, those pieces will be replaced by historical fiction picture books written by some more of Del Greco’s eighth-grade students, part of a writing contest Del Greco initiated, which will be available for walkers, runners and bike riders to pick up and read while traveling the trail all summer long. Thavary Hay and Erica Frothingham wrote about Holman Stadium, chronicling the time it was a minor-league affiliate to the Brooklyn Dodgers (then called the Nashua Dodgers), hosting players like Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe. Julia LaFlamme and Samantha Parks wrote about the old mill building their dance company, Allegro Dance Academy, practices in. The kids said they like participating in city art, and not just the visual kind. One of Majewski’s new favorite pastimes is listening to and playing the newly installed, artfully painted downtown street pianos. “I love the pianos. I always beg my parents, oh, are we doing anything tomorrow? Can we go to the pianos?” Majewski said. Beck said there were lots of people — teachers, artists and observers — impressed with what the middle-school students came up with. Their teachers were happy to hear this, but not all that surprised. “I think middle-schoolers will really surprise you if you give them a little bit of freedom to express themselves creatively,” Munz said. “This gives them a way ... to connect with their community, and I hope it helps them develop an appreciation for it.”

• 100th birthday: The New Hampshire Institute of Art’s historic Emma Blood French Building turns 100 in 2016, and in anticipation of the birthday celebration, the school is looking to the public to share stories, old photos and personal moments from the past century relating to the property. According to a recent press release, the building was designed by noted Boston architect William Rantoul and erected in 1916 by Emma Blood French as the first permanent home of the Manchester Institute of Arts & Sciences. With the help of the public’s artifacts and memories, the school hopes to create a short film and photo exhibit chronicling its 100-year history. Betsy Holmes, director of the Teti Library, and Gary Samson, chairperson of the school’s photography department, will review donated items (or lent items that can be scanned and returned) on Sunday, June 26, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at the building, 148 Concord St., Manchester. No item is too small, no anecdote too short. “The Emma Blood French Building is not only the centerpiece of our school, but has also played a major role in the lives of so many people in this community for almost 100 years, and we want to share those stories as part of our celebration,” NHIA President Kent Devereaux said in the release.

Singing Sondheim
NH Master Chorale concerts highlight musical theater
The New Hampshire Master Chorale. Goodwin Treadwell Photographers.
By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
Stephen Sondheim has written music and lyrics for some of the most popular musical theater productions on stage today, and in the process, he’s received eight Tony Awards — more than any other composer in history — one Academy Award, eight Grammy Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, the Laurence Olivier Award and a 2015 Presidential Medal of Freedom. He’s unmatched, in New Hampshire Master Chorale Music Director Dan Perkins’ opinion, which is one reason he centered the chorus’s upcoming concert, A Little Night Music, on Sondheim’s work. The other is that it’s quite different from this fall’s Bach program. “I love the music of Stephen Sondheim, and I thought, this would be a great contrast for our singers, and for myself and for our audiences,” Perkins said. “His music is, by far, more complicated and has more depth and more interest for musicians than any other [musical theater] composer today.” One performance happens at Concord’s Eagle Square Saturday, June 18, the next at Plymouth Congregational Church Sunday, June 19. The program contains musical snippets from five of Sondheim’s shows — Company, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park with George and A Little Night Music. Perkins will conduct while accompanying the singers on piano. The New Hampshire Master Chorale, now in its 13th year, is an auditioned nonprofit group made up of about 25 singers who must work to retain their slots every year. As a result, they’re all experts. Attend A Little Night Music Saturday, June 18, at 8 p.m.: Eagle Square, Atrium Lobby, Concord (pre-concert cash bar and reception via Tandy’s Top Shelf Pub, 1 Eagle Square, starting at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 19, at 4 p.m.: Plymouth Congregational Church, 4 Post Office Square, Plymouth Admission: $30 general, $25 senior, free for undergraduates and students grades K-12 Contact: nhmasterchorale.org 106855
“Many of the singers are music educators. Many of them have undergraduate and graduate degrees in music. It allows me great flexibility in the repertoire I choose because the musicians are capable of a lot,” Perkins said. “The resulting sound is glorious. We can then spend a lot of time on interpretation and … extend way past notes and rhythms, the nuts and bolts of music.” It comes in handy when singing Sondheim. “It’s surprisingly difficult. For a group that’s used to challenging music like Bach and contemporary classical composers, the music of Sondheim has incredible rhythmic complexity and depth,” he said. Sondheim’s music is about relationships, Perkins said, and members will perform while connecting to the content of the music. The Into the Woods segment in which the baker and his wife wish for a baby will feature small solos by Jenny and Lisa Cooper, who are expecting their own baby soon. Another piece will feature Brad Dumont and Gwen Dunn performing as Jack (from Jack and the Beanstalk) and Jack’s mother. The Saturday concert happens in the Eagle Square Atrium, following the group’s tradition of performing in unexpected venues, having performed in the Concord parking garage in 2014 and the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in 2013. Perkins said he’s always hunting for new concert venues, and currently, the chorus is hoping to put together a show in the Concord Hospital lobby. Another possibility is a big, open space at the Steeplegate Mall. “There’s a heightened experience for the singers and the audience [at non-traditional venues]. It adds a level of interest, color and excitement that’s sometimes hard to achieve in a church pew,” he said. Perkins comes into this concert just a few weeks after directing one for the Manchester Choral Society. Straight after, he’ll leave for a tour in Cuba with the New Hampshire Friendship Chorus. Later this summer, he’ll attend a conducting and singing symposium in Italy. “I feel really lucky to get to approach … so many different styles of music with so many groups of people,” he said.

The seats to be replaced were more than 20 years old and have seen “a lot of wear and tear over the last two decades” and, to be frank, were “downright uncomfortable,” said theater owner Carol Nelson in the press release. Nelson said floors would be cleaned, sanded and painted to make way for the new chairs featuring 4-inch-thick foam padding, an automatic gravity-lift mechanism and builtin cupholders. The theater screens new releases, has one-time screenings and acts as a meeting place for community groups and meetings. Visit pctmovies.com. — Kelly Sennott

Much like it does with ice skating in the winter, Everett Arena in Concord is now, for the first time, offering public roller skating every Friday and Sunday through July 31. “There’s really not another roller skating rink in the area, that I’m aware of at least,” said Jeff Bardwell, arena and properties manager for the City of Concord’s General Services Department. “I know of one out in Enfield, and there used to be one in Laconia and another one here in Concord many years ago, but there hasn’t been anything here locally for a while. So, we thought it’d be a good activity to add in, and it was good timing. We’ll have the full effect, too, with the disco ball and lights.” Skating began June 10 and will be available from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and 4 to 6 p.m. on Sundays, complete with a DJ, disco ball and lighting. The arena will also host “teen night” for skaters ages 12 to 17 on Fridays from 8 to 10 p.m. and adult skating on Sundays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Admission is $5, plus an additional $5 for a rental of quad skates. The arena, which has been owned by the city since 1981, operates as an ice skating rink from mid-September to mid-March and holds hockey games, ice skating lessons and stick practice sessions. In mid-March, the venue gets converted to its concrete surface to host dry floor events like home shows, antique shows and flea markets that run through the first week of Labor Day. Public roller skating Where: Douglas N. Everett Arena, 15 Loudon Road, Concord When: Fridays, 5:30-7:30 p.m. and Sundays, 4-6 p.m. through July 31 (teen night 8-10 p.m. Fridays and adult skating 6:30-8:30 p.m. Sundays) Cost: $5 for admission, $5 for skate rentals Visit: concordnh.gov/skating

“We have always said that June or July are maintenance months for the arena,” Bardwell said. “We’ve been doing roller derby skating here for four or five years now, and we’ve always looked for other revenue sources as well as for something new to offer to the community.” Taking the ice rink down and switching to the dry floor is much faster and easier to do than setting up the ice, Bardwell said, despite the fact that the ice stays on for a majority of the year. Making the switch from ice to concrete takes only about three to four days, he said, while preparing the arena for winter events in September can take as many as 20 days due to the freezing and refrigeration of the ice and the hand-painting of the rink’s surface. “On the first day, we work by shaving the ice down as thin as possible until we get to concrete in several locations,” Bardwell explains in an instructional video produced by the city. “Depending on the weather conditions, we’ll
scrape up whatever ice is remaining … or sometimes we have to take a squeegee to any remaining water on the floor.”

About three quarters of the dasher boards in the hockey rink are taken down in preparation for the dry floor events before the floor gets scrubbed several times over the course of a couple of days. “Taking the bleachers and safe-
ty netting and everything down is much easier,” he said. “Then they go right back up once the last dry floor event of the season is over during the second week of September.” Until then, the floors will be open for the public roller skating hours, as well as for groups. “It’d be a great opportunity for many summer camps in the area like for instance if they planned on going to the beach and it rained, they could give us a call in the morning,” he said, “and we can certainly accommodate them if there is nothing else going on at the arena. Of course, we also can accommodate birthday parties or other private rentals as well.” Private bookings for birthday parties or other events related to roller skating cost $75 per hour, plus the cost of skate rentals. For more information on skating at the Everett Arena or how to book a private event this summer, visit concordnh.gov/skating or call 228-2784.

Are you still planting your vegetables? Here are a few tips. If your broccoli seedlings are a bit tall and floppy at planting time, you can bury part of the stem so they don’t flop over. I pinch off a lower leaf or two, and then plant the root ball 3 inches or so below the soil surface. Same for Brussels sprouts. Tall tomatoes I often plant sideways after I remove two or more of the lower branches. The buried portion will send out roots, which is helpful to the plant later on. Most gardeners who start seedlings indoors plant two or more seeds in each cell, thinking that at least one will germinate. But what to do if they both did? I advise snipping off one of the two early on. But I had a six-pack of kale seedlings with two nice plants per cell that had somehow escaped my scissors. For some I snipped off one seedling at planting time, thus avoiding any disruption of the roots. For others, particularly if the seedlings were growing in opposite corners of the growing cell, I separate them and plant both. To do this I hold the rootball in two hands, thumbs on the soil surface and nearly touching. Then I push my thumbs down, and gently pull them away from each other, tearing the rootball in half. Sometimes the roots are so entwined that they break; other times they just pull away. Either is fine. Roots recover easily. But what can you do if you have too many melons or an overabundance of okra? It’s very hard to throw them in the compost pile. Call your friends and neighbors, ask if they need some more plants. If you still have too many plants, deliver them to the community garden nearest you. I found one that will drive to my door to pick up vegetable and flower starts. The bottom line is this: you don’t have to plant every seedling you grew or bought. You might have to buy a six-pack of kale when you only want two or three plants. It’s OK to put the others in the compost pile if you can’t find a taker. That’s better than cramming them all into a small space. After a recent day of heavy rain I spent much time weeding. Right after a rain when the soil is soaked is a good time to do so. Deep-rooted plants like thistles or dandelions are easier to pull when the soil is moist or even soggy. If it’s soggy, of course, your feet can compact the soil, so stay on the lawn and work from the edges. I have learned all the weeds that grow in my garden: some by Latin name, some by common name, a few I just call “Bob” or “Larry.” No matter. What is important is to know their

roots. Annual weeds like jewel weed pull easily, all the roots coming with a scratch of my CobraHead weeder and a tug from above. Other weeds, like perennial dandelions and burdocks, have tap roots that can go down 6 to 12 inches. For those I use a shovel to loosen the earth. I push it into the soil 4 inches from the weed, pull back on the handle, and the soil and roots loosen. Then with a tug the whole system comes out. If you break off a tap root, the weed will grow back, so it’s worthwhile taking the time to do it right. Crabgrass, by the way, grows well in compacted soil but lawn grass will not. That’s why it grows where you walk the most. Avoid it, if it bugs you, by putting down pavers to walk on. And if you set your mower at 3 or 4 inches the good grass may shade out the crab grass that is trying to establish itself now, in the early summer. Ground ivy, also known as Creeping Charlie or Jenny, is a pest to many of us because it grows in lawns and flower beds and will even grow in pure mulch! But it pulls easily and smells vaguely minty. Its leaves have scalloped edges and the flowers are generally a purplish blue. It sends down roots easily as it creeps into flower beds. I follow the roots with the tip of my CobraHead weeder, and they come out easily. Edging the border of a flower bed makes it look tidy and professionally maintained. Basically edging means cutting a sharp edge to the bed with a shovel or an edging tool. By removing some soil after you have cut the edge, you create a little “moat.” Lawn grass sends roots exploring for new territory, but if it finds air, it stops growing. It can save a lot of time weeding out grasses later on. If you have a straight flower bed, pull a string taught to establish the line you will edge. If you want to create curves, use your hose. Just lay it out in the lawn to establish the exact curves you want. I like to make flower beds bulge out into the lawn rather than follow straight lines. Just be sure that when you expand your beds and establish new boundaries, your lawnmower can follow the lines you establish. Read Henry’s twice-a-week blog at dailyuv. com/henryhomeyer.

Dear Cindy, I will try to be of help to you. The first item, a pine cupboard, is not old so the value is what you can get from someone possibly looking for such a piece. The mirror looks to be from the 1940s and probably from a dresser so even though this is older it too would be the value to someone looking for it. The clock is called a humpback style but looks to be electric so again not the age to be considered an antique. The two-drawer stand could have come from a bedroom set or maybe a sewing stand for pieces and parts. And last the chest you sent this photo of looks like a cedar chest from the 1940s. The combined value for all of the pieces would be under $200 and as I said

IN/OUT CAR TALK
Built-in GPS can’t hold a candle to Google Maps Dear Car Talk: I don’t believe I’ve seen this addressed in your column before. I’m wondering if you can update the GPS in any older-model cars that have built-in displays. By Ray Magliozzi Is there an updated map you can buy from a dealer, or download to a laptop and then install on your vehicle? Specifically, I have an ‘05 Jaguar XKR. But I bet others have the same question about their cars. Off topic: Since you guys know everything, if you freeze a zombie and then defrost it, will it still be “alive,” since you didn’t shoot it in the head? Love reading your column every week! — Phil I’m going pass your zombie question over to the guys who write Corpse Talk, Phil. The answer to your mapping question is yes: The companies that make the software for built-in GPS systems do sell updates. But unfortunately, they’re horrific rip-offs for most people -- they cost several hundreds of dollars. And even then, they can’t match Google Maps for instantaneous traffic data and re-routing. There are some reasons we prefer builtin GPS systems: The screens are bigger, the
information often is duplicated on the dashboard or even in a heads-up display if the car has one (which is great). And the radio audio is automatically lowered when a navigation instruction comes on. But the truth is that these built-in systems have fallen far behind what you can get on your phone ... for free. They often can be purchased only as part of a multi-thousanddollar technology package; they’re archaic to program (as opposed to speaking the destination into your phone and having it understand you the first time); the traffic data isn’t as good; and they get out of date. So, unless you feel very strongly about some of the advantages of the built-in system, you should buy one of those iPhone mounts that clips to an air vent and use Google Maps instead. Just be sure to choose the privacy setting that says “track my location only while I’m using the app.” Otherwise, Google will be tracking you when you go to the bathroom. You want a car mount that puts the phone high up, so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road to see it. ProClip makes a particularly sturdy one. If you still have a flip-phone, or need the bigger screen, have your dealer put you in touch with the company that provides and updates Jaguar’s mapping software. I’m sure
it has updates available, and will be happy to sell you one. They’ll probably send you a CD, with instructions on how to spend your afternoon trying to update the thing. Or you can pay your dealer to do it for you. But consider changing with the times, Phil. Built-in navigation systems are way behind smartphone technology, at the moment. Dear Car Talk: Recently, my son-in-law’s 2005 Acura 3.2 began to misfire. While changing the spark plugs, the end of the “coil on plug” wire for spark plug No. 3 came off, leaving the coil in my hand and the broken spark plug inside the head. I finally succeeded in removing it piece by piece by working at it with a flat-head screwdriver and a pair of long-nosed pliers. It took three days to get it all out. After it was all removed, we replaced the plug and coil/ wire combination, and the car runs fine. Do the coils break like this often? Should they be replaced periodically? — Dan Dan, I like the way you say that the top of the coil “came off,” rather than saying, “I broke it off.” You definitely have a future in management! We actually do see this once in a while in the garage, and it’s caused by intense heat in the cylinder-head area, multiplied by lots of time.
So if these “coil on plug” spark-plug wires (where each contains a coil for that specific spark plug) sit there for a decade or so, the heat can “fuse” them to the tops of the spark plugs. Then, when you try to remove them to change the plugs, you end up breaking off the top of the plug and having to dig out the remains. I trust you’re now familiar with this procedure, Dan. At this point, the other coils themselves don’t need to be replaced; they could be good for years. But it does make sense to (carefully) try to remove them — just to make sure you can. You may want to schedule this one plug at a time, Dan — over the next five holiday weekends. Once you have that coil and wire off, remove the plug and see what it looks like. If it looks fine, you can put it back in there. But before you put the spark-plug wire back on, do what we do and apply some dielectric grease. Dielectric grease is a non-conductive lubricant that can handle the intense temperatures under the hood, and hopefully prevent the rubber and plastic of the spark-plug wire from melting and cementing itself to the porcelain of the plug. So next time, you’ll be able to get your spark-plug changes down to a day and a half. Good luck, Dan. Visit Cartalk.com.

FOOD Dinner is ready
New Hampshire gets a meal kit service of its own By Angie Sykeny
News from the local food scene
asykeny@hippopress.com
By Angie Sykeny
Imagine having all the ingredients you need to make a delicious, healthy meal, picked up fresh from local farms, pre-measured and delivered directly to your door in time for dinner. It may sound too good to be true, but it’ll be a reality in New Hampshire with the launch of Local Baskit, a new meal kit service customized for the 603 lifestyle. “The concept is taking the food industry by storm,” said Beth Richards, Local Baskit founder. “It gives the person who wants to support local farms that convenience of not having to think about what to make for dinner.” Meal kits have been a growing trend since companies like Blue Apron, HelloFresh and Plated launched in the U.S. in 2012, but until now, people in New Hampshire haven’t been able to experience the full benefits. “I was an early customer of one of those national companies, and it always bothered me that they would say ‘local, fresh ingredients,’ but it would take three days to get to me, and the closest food source I could find on the label was in Wisconsin or something,” Richards said. There were other problems too; as someone whose job at the time required a lot of traveling, Richards found that the service’s lack of customizable meal kit options and limited delivery days for New Hampshire weren’t convenient at all. That’s when she had the idea to start a meal kit service just for New Hampshire with ingredients that were truly local and fresh, with special features that cater to New Hampshire’s unique demographic. She’ll begin taking orders Saturday, June 18.

• Beer and wine at markets: On June 3, Senate Bill 306 was signed into law by Gov. Maggie Hassan, allowing beer and wine vendors at New Hampshire farmers markets to provide samples of their products to customers beginning in August. The new bill is largely the result of efforts by New Hampshire farmers market organizer Joan O’Connor of Henniker, who founded the Concord Winter Farmers Market and established the Tilton Winter Farmers Market. “I’ve watched the wine and beer vendors in their booths over the years at my markets as they explain their ingredients and production processes. They talk about their wineries, breweries and farms and hand out brochures. Actually tasting their products has been the missing piece that would have created countless sales for them,” O’Connor said in a press release. “I knew it would make a huge difference if we could make it possible for these entrepreneurs to put their products in front of the public.” Email joconnornh@yahoo.com to learn more. • Biggest Hannaford opens in Bedford: A new Hannaford Supermarkets store is scheduled to open at 7 Kilton Road in Bedford on Saturday, June 18. According to the Union Leader, it will be the largest Hannaford in New Hampshire at 68,000 square feet and will feature service concepts like made-to-order food to take out or eat instore, online ordering with in-store pickup and custom cut produce. It will also have a grab-and-go section with popular items and a brew room with an expansive wine selection and over 230 varieties of craft beer. The store opens upon the closing of the existing Bedford Hannaford location at Colby Court. • Seacoast liquor store: The New Hampshire Liquor Commission opened its newest New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet on Lafayette Road in Seabrook on June 9. According to a press release, the 15,000-square-foot store replaced an existing 6,000-square-foot New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet in Seabrook and boasts an expanded collection of more than 4,055 sizes and varieties of wines and spirits, temperature-controlled wine cabinets, wider aisles, high-efficiency LED fixtures and iPads for perusing inventory and food and wine pairings. The NHLC also has plans to open new outlets in Plymouth in July and 52

Meredith, a food production facility that provides work space and guidance for small and startup food businesses. Subscribers place their orders via the Local Baskit website. All ingredients used in the meal kits are produced in New Hampshire or New England. “Folks within the farm community have been really generous in sharing their knowledge and helping me craft this,” Richards said. “The drivers for the recipes are what the farmers tell me is coming off the fields. … It’s another version of farm-to-table, only you’re cooking it at home.” Local Baskit is currently sourcing produce from Moulton Farm of Meredith, Vegetable Ranch of Warner and Brookford Farm of Canterbury, and meat from The Local Butcher of Barnstead. It’s also partnering with New England seafood purveyor Sal’s Fresh Seafood of Meredith and a distributor of various New England-sourced foods, Dole & Bailey of Woburn, Mass.
Local Baskit is operated by Richards, her husband and a photographer who photographs the meal kits for Local Baskit’s website, social media and recipe cards. Though it’s based in Concord, most of the assembling, packaging and shipping process will take place at Genuine Local in What’s for dinner?

More information and photos of the meal kits are available on The Fresh line is geared toward families facebook.com/localbaskit and instagram. and features more kid-friendly ingredicom/localbaskit. ents and simple preparation. Recipes will
include things like fajita-spiced quesadillas, pizza pasta chicken and crockpot comfort food. The Simple line features the same recipes as the Fresh line, but without the meat. This is a good option for people looking for a lower price point, a vegetarian alternative or to use their own meats and fish. Each meal kit comes with a recipe card that includes detailed step-by-step instructions with photos and information about a local farm or food artisan where some of the ingredients came from. The recipes will be different each week and are developed by Richards and other guest contributors. The first week includes recipes from New Hampshire food blogger Susan Nye. Subscribers can opt to receive two, three or four meals a week in two-person or four-person servings. The two-person servings are adult portions while the fourperson servings include two adult and two kid-sized portions to accommodate families. Weekly package rates range from $18 for two two-person Simple meals to $138 for four four-person Artisan meals. “The prices are a little more, but you’re still saving … by cutting back on produce waste,” Richards said. “You get a whole bunch of kale for a meal and have to figure out what to do with the leftovers, but instead, I’m giving you the exact ounces you need for a yummy kale turkey sausage pasta recipe.”
Get it to the table
When subscribers place their orders online, they’ll be given a choice of how they want to get their meal kits, either through delivery or pickup. One-day delivery is available anywhere within the state with four delivery days to choose from. Local Baskit is partnering with eco-friendly packaging company Good Start Packaging of Bedford to ship the meal kits in recycled cardboard with biodegradable portion cups and bags for the ingredients. Subscribers can also arrange to pick up their meal kits at the Bedford Farmers Market, the Manchester Farmers Market, the Open Air Market of New Hampton or Cole Gardens in Concord. “It’s highly probable that I’ve gone to the local farms that morning and grabbed the produce, packed it, and someone’s picking it up that night at the farmers market,” Richards said. “That’s a really huge difference, and people can pick up their strawberries and things from other vendors while they’re there, so it’s really promoting that 603-focus and food love.”

Experience the best tastes of the Seacoast in one place at the Portsmouth Taste of the Nation on Wednesday, June 22. The culinary gala is held on the grounds of Strawbery Banke Museum and will feature gourmet food prepared by top chefs from over 50 restaurants, plus wines, beers and spirits from over 30 beverage vendors. Food samples will include everything from seafood, pizza, ethnic specialties, appetizers and pub food to desserts and bakery goods. The restaurants may feature their trademark and regular menu items, seasonal menu items, new additions they haven’t debuted yet, or new dishes they’re considering adding to their regular menu and are looking for feedback on from tasters. Some chefs even prepare special recipes to be featured exclusively at the event. “It’s a chance for them to showcase some of their food,” event co-chair Jess Michaud said. “Even if it’s not at their restaurant, they’re still showcasing their talents and their menu to an audience of around a 1,000 people.” Returning tasters will find familiar favorites like Blue Mermaid Island Grill, Poco’s Bow Street Cantina, The Oar House Restaurant and Library Restaurant, all four of which have been part of Portsmouth Taste of the Nation since it began 20 years ago, but they can also discover some new favorites among this year’s first-timers: Tino’s Greek Kitchen, Earth’s Harvest Kitchen & Juicery, Throwback Brewery, Pizza Street, Two Fifty Market, Epoch Restaurant & Bar and Tuscan Kitchen. The event is open to 600 general admission guests and 200 VIP guests. VIP perks include early admission and access to the food and drink selections one hour before they officially open, and access to a private lounge area with musical entertainment and additional food and drink offerings from high-end restaurants and spirits producers that aren’t available to the general admission guests. “Things can get a little crazy with 800 peo-

ple,” Michaud said. “This allows people who buy the VIP tickets to leave the main area and find solace in a quieter space where they can enjoy the perks of having cocktails, beer and wine and food that you can’t get in the general admissions tent.” Portsmouth Taste of the Nation is an annual fundraiser hosted by the Seacoast chapter of Share Our Strength, the national nonprofit organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign. Proceeds will help to provide children from low-income families with regular nutritious meals. “It’s a fun, social evening for everyone, and it gives people a chance to support a cause they believe in and help to feed hungry kids,” Michaud said.

For the owner of The Bakeshop On Kelley Street (171 Kelley St., Manchester, 624-3500, thebakeshoponkelleystreet.com), Denise Nickerson, it’s all about the desserts. Dessert after dinner was a standard in her family while she was growing up, and they had accumulated quite a collection of recipes over the years. “No matter what we had for dinner, I knew there’d always be a good dessert,” she said. After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, she took a job as a pastry chef at Buckley’s Great Steaks in Merrimack. After five years, she decided to start a business of her own. The location on Kelly Street in Manchester’s West Side seemed like the perfect place since there weren’t many bakeries in that area, so she opened there in 2010. The Bakeshop offers homemade cakes, pies, scones, muffins and other baked goods as well as a lunch menu with soups and sandwiches.

FOOD
Now serving
perishables Tasty food from fresh ingredients
Healthy popsicles From ice cream to hot dogs, summer food is both easy and delicious. And here in New England, warmer weather means more activity. Biking, hiking, running and other activities that get you moving do not go so well with many summer foods, because you just don’t feel like doing much after eating these foods. We need foods that will fuel us and help us feel like exerting the energy we’ve built up from being cooped up all summer, without weighing us down. Because I have kids, I often think about how to substitute healthier options into our repertoire. This is especially necessary when my kids would eat popsicles and ice cream for every meal once the weather gets warm. Frankly, so would my husband and I! What we eat can’t just be about how it tastes, though. When we eat only according to taste and forget all the other things food offers us, it’s easy to go down a path that leads nowhere good.
Last summer, I had a 6-month-old and a 2½-year-old. When it came to my own diet, I grabbed what I could. I often ate poorly, and the fast and easy foods of summer were hard to resist. This summer is going to be quite different; I am more prepared and committed to preparing healthy and delicious foods for my family and myself. So this week, I’m cheating a little bit. While I typically write about savory foods and avoid dessert altogether, I’m moving into a different realm. My recipe is a play on a dessert. Your family will think it’s dessert but you’ll know better. There is no added sugar, only good fats and even some hidden ingredients that take this to the next level. It’s a healthy snack so you and your family can get the nutrition you need and the taste you want, and it’s so fresh. Trust me, you won’t miss the ice cream! — Allison Willson Dudas

As a wine columnist, I mainly focus on wine, but recently I stepped out of my comfort zone and learned about something new: bourbon. I had the opportunity to meet with Mark Stella Blu Roy, spirits marketing and sales specialist at Stella Blu the New Hampshire Liquor Commission. He 70 East Pearl St., Nashua • 578-5557 StellaBlu-NH.com started as a part-time store clerk some years ago, working his way up to management. He said he had always been particularly interested in spirits, and now, as a buyer, he puts this knowledge to good use. Earlier this year, a group from the New Hampshire Liquor Commission traveled to the Knob Creek site in Kentucky to select eight barrels of bourbon to be sold exclusively in New Hampshire. What is so cool about As delicious as they are beautiful! this? Bourbon is typically a blend from several barrels, which helps the product remains Call to order for your consistent. The product from these selected graduation party. barrels, only available in New Hampshire, is 72 Manchester St., single-barrel bourbon, so it is unique. Concord, NH “To have the opportunity to go down (603)224-4101 there, meet the owners and see it produced theredblazer.com 108400 is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Mark, who noted that the Liquor Commission began this purchasing program in 2001. They have since exclusively selected barrels of whiskey and tequila, in addition to bourbon, from producers like Jack Daniel’s. “We were lucky to be able to travel down there and spend time with the people who make it,” he said. The trip included a visit with Fred Noe, son of Knob Creek founder Booker Noe, who also happened to be the grandson of Jim Beam. Knob Creek is still made the same way today as it was when Booker Noe began making it. Mark pointed out that a reliable Hippo’s Calendar App water andsource Website is most important and acts as a filtration system. Additionally, produc108207 Hippo’s Calendar App and Website ers use a “mash bill,” which is essentially a recipe for their product. In the case of bourbon, it is at least 51 percent corn and has rye, malted barley and a yeast strain, with the amounts of each affecting the overall result. While some producers reveal their mash bills, Knob Creek does not.

like Jack Daniel’s and bourbon like Knob Creek is a unique process known as charcoal mellowing. Jack Daniel’s begins as bourbon and then goes through charcoal filtration, turning it into Tennessee whiskey. I asked Mark how he prepares for a tasting like this, as like all of us he has his own personal tastes but has to think of a wide range of consumers when selecting the barrels. “Each has different nuances, like wine, so there are different tastes to appeal to different palates,” he said. So how were these single-barrel, 120-proof bourbons? For this novice spirit drinker, trying it was an exciting experience. Having a knowledgeable guide like Mark was key. He recommended taking a small sip of each, and then going back to taste them again. We tried each with a few drops of water, which helps break down the alcohol and bring out the flavors. This is probably the first time I enjoyed sipping bourbon! The selected barrels are numbered and have tasting notes to help you select the one you will like best, whether you like to sip it straight, on the rocks or in a cocktail. We tried Nos. 3403, 3402 and 3405, in that order, with the first being the sweeter of the three; the middle was the well-rounded option and the third was smoky and spicy. My favorite was the first. I enjoyed the vanilla notes and hint of maple flavor. The second reminded me of bourbon I’ve had in the past. It was very pleasant and what Mark called a “home run” because it is sweet and then spicy with a lingering finish. The third I would probably enjoy in a cocktail. Look for these products in New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlets (liquorandwineoutlets.com can tell you which locations have them) and pick up your own bottle before they are gone. As Mark said, these are unique products; the bourbon from these eight barrels cannot be duplicated.

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Sonny and the Sunsets, Moods Baby Moods (Polyvinyl Records)
The fanzine-born Polyvinyl Records label continues to impress me, mostly owing to their more raw but catchy bands, such as this retro-minded San Francisco weirdo and his current cast of cronies. The skill levels are low, with Sonny’s vocals sounding like Beck on cough syrup while the band fixates on entry-level funk and doo-wop, but with all the wooziness, spectacular apathy and absolutely filthy sound, it’s altogther a throwback to 1990s rock at its most captivating. Like something cobbled together by The Clash’s wimpy little brother, the doonk-doonk-bass-propelled “Modern Age” comes off like an early Joe Jackson jam-out, but then there are surf-noise pieces like “Death Cream Part 2,” which spot-welds Lou Reed onto Raveonettes. In the midst of all this, “Nightmares” sprinkles some most welcome synth-cheese over a phoned-in Depeche Mode beat. Super neat stuff here. They’ll be at the Once Ballroom in Somerville, Mass., on July 12. A — Eric W. Saeger Volbeat, Seal the Deal & Let’s Boogie (Republic/Universal Records)
Sixth album from the Danish metal quartet, who began life as a heavy version of Creed (literally so, being that they outright lifted a few riffs and whanot from those music-critic-workout-bags). Don’t get me wrong, the material from their 2005 debut The Strength The Sound The Songs had some noteworthy moments, mostly when they laid down stubborn low-end chug-a-chug doom, but again, well, you know, Creed. Thing about these guys is they claim rockabilly as one of their main thrusts, which may have been true after 2005, but suffice to say I hadn’t kept track, and now you know all I know — I’m just in this to see if they’ve become as pasteurized as Five Finger Death Punch. “The Devil’s Bleeding Crown” is a good start, fusing Black Sabbath’s Master of Reality grind with Metallica’s sort-of-rawness (the singer even reminds me of Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, which I hadn’t noticed before, so there’s lots of hope, honest). After the catchy but disposable WWE-entrance-theme-styled “Marie Lavaeu” they suddenly turn into White Lion-meets-Mumford and Sons with “The Bliss,” which will hopefully be an a-ha moment for the band — it’s quite brilliant. But then again, so is the hokily titled “Gates of Babylon,” if you like Richie Blackmore-type pseudoprog. Lots of decent stuff here, if fuzzily focused. A — Eric W. Saeger

• You know Bruce Hornsby from the elevator-music mega-hit “The Way It Is,” which is always playing when you go to your doctor. For the last dozen-whatever-years, he has split his time jamming with Ricky Skaggs and Grateful Dead-related bands like Ratdog, doing improvisational jazz and running a couple of solo projects, one of which is Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers, whose sixth LP is Rehab Reunion. The album’s mandolin-powered single “Over The Rise” is a cross betweem ren-faire folk and bluegrass, spotlighting a classical break. Hornsby likes classical and so do I, but that doesn’t necessarily make us BFFs. • San Jose’s DJ Shadow has always been sort of like a mallhip-hop Blackalicious but without a rapper, dropping mad beats that break little new ground, but people buy his records, maybe because they feel sorry for him that he doesn’t have a rapper, I don’t know. His new album, The Mountain Will Fall, features the title track as a woozy refuse-pile of trap sounds and petty theft of Death Grips, which should surprise exactly no one. You should see the comments section for the song’s video on YouTube, this one troll is racking up all sorts of victims by saying the song sucks. Why are people so mean? • Doddering hippie menace Neil Young, fresh off trying to destroy all those totally nice corporate murder-bots at Monsanto, releases Earth, his 30-somethingth LP. Wait a second, it’s a trap, this is a live album, mostly focused on that last record, The Monsanto Years! Why does this guy hate Matrix-cloned chickens and grapefruit-sized radioactive strawberries so much? I mean, he’s from Canada, a frozen arctic igloo colony that doesn’t put up with greedy corporate maniacs programming cancer-causing pesticides directly into the rhubarb, what’s his dilly anyway? What did cancer ever do to anyone, right? And why are there sound samples of cows and bugs and car horns all over this album? Can I get a version that just has car horns, so I can eat this totally natural, completely harmless five-foot-tall apple in peace? • Aw, come on, ma! I don’t wanna talk about the Red Hot Chili Peppers! I don’t like ‘em, nuh-uh! No, I don’t wanna, but I will, because all you people love them, and I can’t help you, so let’s just say they have a new LP, The Getaway. Fun Fact: Did you know that the bassplayer from Primus is exactly 152,394 times more awesome than Flea? Another Fun Fact: Saying your band has an awesome bass player is like saying your new car has awesome windshield wipers. Except in the case of Primus, Yes and Weather Report, I mean. — Eric W. Saeger

Contoocook writer Dorothea Jensen got the idea for A Buss from Lafayette while on a Jane Austen tour in England with her mother in 1997. There was lots of downtime on the bus, so the group told stories to pass the hours. Jensen offered the tale of her eighthgrade teacher shaking hands with Geronimo, the last Native American warrior to formally surrender to the United States. “I’ve shaken hands with somebody who shook the hand of Geronimo,’” Jensen told the crowd. But then she got one-upped. “I’ve been kissed by someone who was kissed by someone who was kissed by Lafayette,” Rita Nash Paine called from the front of the bus. In response, Jensen leaped into the aisle, ran up to Paine, pointed to her own cheek and said, “Right here, Rita!” Paine kept in touch after the trip and explained how her great-grandmother had been 7 and living in Northampton, Mass., when President James Monroe invited General Lafayette to come back to the States and tour around the country 50 years after the American Revolution. Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette — known today simply as Lafayette, or General Lafayette — was a French aristocrat and military officer who traveled to the United States at age 19 to join the American cause. He was crucial in lobbying French support mid-war, and in 1825, he was the only general still alive. Paine’s great-grandmother presented him with a bouquet during his visit to her hometown, and, as the story goes, he returned the favor with a kiss (buss). Jensen was intrigued. The history nerd hadn’t known about Lafayette’s 24-state, 6,000-mile tour via horse-drawn carriage, but it was big news at the time, all over the old New Hampshire newspapers. He traveled to Boston, where 300,000 came to watch his dedication of the Bunker Hill Monument, and then he took on New Hampshire, passing through Derry, Pembroke, Concord, Northwood, Dover, Concord, Hopkinton, Henniker and Bradford en route to Vermont. “He was mobbed, just like a rock star,” Jensen said during an interview at Panera Bread in Manchester, sporting a silver “Lafayette” necklace. “It’s estimated a fourth of the American population came to see him at some point when he was traveling around.” When Jensen learned Lafayette passed through Route 103, near where she lives now, she was hooked. She spent the next 18
years researching and writing a historical fiction novel for kids, A Buss from Lafayette, which was released in April. The book centers around spunky, rebellious, 14-year-old Clara Summer Hargraves, whose mother died of tuberculosis and father remarried his sister-in-law immediately afterward. (“Which was actually rather common in those days,” Jensen said. “I actually found that happened in my own family tree, years back, about the same time.”) Hargraves lives in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, in 1825, during a buzz of excitement due to an upcoming visit by world-famous Lafayette. “I read a lot of historical novels when I was a kid. … It was just so thrilling because it made [history] come alive. When I started writing, I wanted to do the same thing. … It’s not like writing a textbook at all. You have to learn everything, but then you have to be able to move around in that world,” she said. “The whole thing about the Revolution … only one third of Americans supported the war. One third of them were against it. And one third of them were neutral, just waiting to see who was going to win. … Most of the time, we were losing. And if the French had not come in … we probably would not have been able to win.” Jensen’s been working hard on book promotion. To her launch party crowd of 60, she wore a long, navy blue dress with green trim traditional to the period, courtesy of costume maker Gay Bean. Online, she’s become a promotional guru. “I’m 70 years old. I’ve got two websites, two Twitters, two blogs, two Pinterests, and I have 114,000 hits,” Jensen said. Jensen, a Contoocook resident of 25 years, is a cheerleader for all things American history. She thinks it began after she and her husband started their Peace Corps service in 1969, the year after Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King were assassinated and at the height of the Vietnam War. “We were feeling very negative toward America until we went and lived in a country that was a dictatorship, where everybody was afraid to talk about politics. … America’s really a pretty wonderful place, and unless you’ve lived somewhere where your liberties are very curtailed, it’s harder to appreciate that,” she said.

The Londonderry author signs her enchanting picture book for children about a little girl who learns the power of her imagination in, Queen of the Woodlands.
If, as Jim Lynch proposes, the sailboat is the ultimate erotic symbol for men, his novel Before the Wind is pornography, as eager to titillate as to seduce. It’s the story of a family obsessed with sailing, preferably sailing at top speed. “Strains of this gentle madness course through my family the way diabetes or alcoholism clusters in others,” says the narrator, Josh, a boat repairman who understands how wacky this obsession may seem to landlubbers. “Running a boatyard is like working in a dementia clinic,” he observes. “We commiserate with comforting nods and winces. We play cameos in dreams and delusions.” With self-deprecating wit and a robust but bashful intellect, Josh tells the story of three generations of Johannssens: their Icelandic origin (they may or may not be descendants of Leif Eriksson, depending on who’s telling the story); their extraordinary skill in boat-building; their prowess on the racing circuit; and their ferocious love for one another, which at times is a bit too savage. The father, Bobo, could be called a disciplinarian, or a jerk. Josh calls him “a leader and a lout, a gentleman and an ass, he never concedes a weakness, admits a sickness or says he loves anybody. Yet the flip side is that when you do please him, your body temperature climbs a degree or two.” The father taught Josh and his siblings, Bernard and Ruby, to sail. Not that they had any choice. The boys were named after men who had written books about sailing, and were required to read them. (Here the fiction gives way to fact: Joshua Slocum and Bernard Moitessier were, in fact, legendary sailors and authors.)

The Johannssen children grew up in the Pacific Northwest speaking the language of sailors; words like “halyards,” “starboard” and “hard alee” are perfunctorily explained in a glossary of sorts embedded in the second chapter for nautical illiterates. “Sailing is praying in our family,” Ruby tells a Girl Scout leader, which explains why the family didn’t have time for church. They were out on the water, where Bobo and his colorful father, Grumps, gleefully instructed the children in races against each other. There’s a mother in the family, too: a high-school physics professor who found a link between her love (science and mathematics) and her husband’s passion for sailing: Albert Einstein, who never learned to drive or swim but was a good sailor who loved spending weekends on the water with his sister. “Mother might

have understood Einstein better than she did us and never passed up an opportunity to explain and extol him,” Josh says. In other hands, the frequent Einstein asides, as well as Mother Johannssen’s frequent soliloquies on famous theorems and the genesis of wind, could feel like a book-lengthening device, or a desperate attempt to sow gravitas into a thin, weedy plot. Here, it simply charms. The Johannssens are both Kennedy and Kardashian, possessing a brash nobility with a hint of dysfunction, so winsome that it seems rude to call them “characters” — they’re people, like us, but for the breathing. Therefore, it doesn’t really matter what they do in these pages; once Joshua introduces Grumps, who invokes pagan gods at every opportunity; or Noah, the preacher’s son from Boring, Oregon (yes, there is such a place; motto: “An exciting place to live and work!”), who does a mean Morgan Freeman impression and wanders around intoning solemnly about penguins, we’d be happy to come along if they were only watching paint dry. But there is a traditional arc: The quirky family has mysteriously splintered, but they hurtle together from unexpected places, drawn by the irresistible magnet of (of course) a boat race. Non-sailors may find Before the Wind unnavigable in places; its author grew up sailing, and parts of the book are autobiographical. (His father, like Josh’s, told him that Republicans are power boaters, and Democrats sailors.) Those who learn a language later in life often struggle to understand the native and fluent, but those who make the effort here will have new friends. The Johannssens are people worth knowing.

DISSECTING RACE IN AMERICA Local lawyer VL Towler talks about her novel, Severed, at RiverRun Bookstore, 142 Fleet St., Portsmouth, Sunday, June 26, at 2 p.m. The novel takes place in the fictional town of Nakadee, Louisiana, and follows Dr. Logan, a Black American northerner teaching forensic anthropology at the local university. Her work has to do with researching the stories behind the graves of locally-buried slaves, but she’s reluctantly drawn into an investigation by her ex-boyfriend detective — he wants her input on the severed fingers left at police department headquarters. But then more fingers come to surface at another location in town. As the investigation deepens, Dr. Logan’s life intersects with a lot of people in town, including an enigmatic Black-Republican politician, a teenage wanna-be rapper, and one of her Confederate-flag-waving students. Everybody knows everybody in Nakadee, which leads to “intriguing alliances and a conspiracy of silence among those with something to hide,” as described in the release. Towler is a New Hampshire attorney, formerly a trial attorney with the Justice Department Criminal Division Office of International Affairs in Washington, D.C. She’s worked all over the world but has wanted to be a writer since winning a childhood writing contest. The book was inspired by real-life events in Portsmouth, where coffins of African Americans were unearthed during a municipal dig in 2003, and also by Towler’s experience with The Big Dig in Boston. The event is co-sponsored by the Seacoast African American Cultural Center. Visit severedanovel.com, or contact the bookstore at riverrunbookstore.com or by calling 431-2100. Light refreshments will be served at the event.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
The Conjuring 2 (R)
Ed and Lorraine Warren check out more spooky happenings, this time in England, in the late 1970s in The Conjuring 2, a solid if overlong horror movie.
Peggy Hodgson (Frances O’Connor) and her four children — Janet (Madison Wolfe), Margaret (Lauren Esposito), Billy (Benjamin Haigh) and Johnny (Patrick McAuley) — are scraping by in London, dealing with financial woes brought about in part, we’re led to believe, by their father’s abandonment. As if life isn’t hard enough for the Hodgsons, the kids start experiencing strangeness: the kids’ toys seem to have a life of their own, furniture moves for no good reason, Janet sleepwalks and even sleep-fights. Eventually, she begins to channel someone or something that claims the house is its house and the family should get out. As the Hodgsons gain more notoriety, experts in the paranormal turn up to try to figure out what might be harassing the family — or if there’s anything supernatural afoot at all. Eventually, the Warrens — Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) — are asked to investigate. But while looking into the Amityville house where a man murdered his family, Lorraine is confronted by a horrific creature dressed as a nun. The presence scares her so much she doesn’t necessarily want anything to do with any more cases but is eventually persuaded by her husband that they need to try

to help the Hodgson family. A modest proposal: maybe evil spirits and other supernatural whatnots could tighten up the “messing with you” stage of their hauntings. Like maybe the scaryrocking-chair/unexplained banging noise part of a haunting could be combined with some of the more getting-down-to-business phases. A scene in this movie where a TV remote suddenly appears at odd places in the room is cute and all, but it is also a bit of spooky underlining that isn’t really needed.

the characters in the scary situation act in a way that is believable for how normal, non-horror-movie people would approach it — probably, it’s some combination of the three that gives this movie its special sauce. The trio of Wilson, Farmiga and O’Connor also gives this movie some oomph. Even when the story drags, their performances help to pull the movie through. The Conjuring 2 impresses mostly in how it hasn’t run through its concept yet. The Wilson-Farmiga pairing really works — they have a natural couple sensibility. I would happily watch them in a The Conjuring 3, especially if it could come in about 30 minutes shorter. BRated R for terror and horror violence. Directed by James Wan with a screenplay by Carey Hayes & Chad Hayes & James Wan and David Johnson, The Conjuring 2 is two hours and 14 minutes long and disboard with the idea of a ghost. This movie, tributed by Warner Bros. which clocks in at two hours and 14 minNow You See Me 2 utes, does not need all the padding. Padding is probably the worst sin this (PG-13) movie commits. This movie, like the origMany of the magicians from the inal Conjuring or Insidious, has a really 2013 movie about magic, heists enjoyable sensibility. The movie itself is and how Jesse Eisenberg can only smart and well-constructed but the feel is play that one character reappear, more laid back and less contrived than your presto!, in Now You See Me 2, the average teens-in-the-woods jump-scare movie version of the “coin behind flick.

OOD and a real GO AN F OD NNE XIC E TI I M M l a E Re W
meanwhile, is tangling once again with Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), the magic debunker the Horsemen framed for the heist and sent to jail in the first movie. Walter is kind of an interesting character — he’s plucky and insane, like a whimsical Ramsay Bolton from Game of Thrones. From the beard to his maniacal grin while being his most menacing, Walter seems like Radcliffe’s most overt attempt at being not-Harry-Potter. Sure, I thought during Walter’s scenes, Radcliffe could do a Bond villain. Less exciting is a thing Harrelson is doing. One of the totally unnecessary twists in this movie is that Merritt’s twin magician brother Chase shows up. With a strange Robert Reed-in-the-later-seasonsof-the-Brady Bunch hairstyle and a wall of giant, extra-white teeth, Chase is so cartoonish that I thought it was some kind of “look over here at the sparklers and my magic wand” fake-out distraction thing. As it turns out, it’s just horrible writing and even more questionable acting. Bad writing is, as it turns out, what this movie does best — and does most. The dialog is clunky and tends to explain what’s happening in unnecessary detail, never once trusting movie-goers to put anything, even emotions or characters’ feelings about each other, together themselves. The story itself is also overstuffed with plot points and backstory and a bunch of other bits of business that bog down what should be a light, bubbly caper. And then there’s the problem of magic. The magic should really just be the window dressing for the heist movie stuff, but instead the movie seems to want to be about magic as a performance art as much as it is about magic as a way to run con. The “secret society of magicians who might have the power of ‘real’ magic” thing is the most egregious example of the movie’s silly approach to magic as a craft. I feel like the movie needs to decide whether it wants to be National Treasure or Ocean’s Eleven — it is not pulling off the hybrid of both. What could have made all this goofiness a good time if not a good movie is the acting. But unfortunately the movie is so stuffed with characters and motivations that nobody really gets the time or the room to be a full person. Mark Ruffalo is fine, mostly because he’s a solid enough actor to be fine no matter what the circumstance, but even he doesn’t always seem to know what his character is supposed to being doing in a scene. Everyone else is somewhere on the spectrum between “unlikable” and “irrelevant.” CRated PG-13 for violence and some language. Directed by Jon M. Chu with a screenplay by Ed Solomon, Now You See Me 2 is two hours and nine minutes long and distributed by Summit Entertainment.

After being in hiding for a few years after their fleecing of an insurance executive in the last movie, three of the magicians known as the Four Horsemen — Daniel Atlas (Eisenberg), Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson) and Jack Wilder (Dave Franco), who faked his own death — have been preparing for something being orchestrated Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo), the FBI agent/long-con magician who orchestrated their initial magic shows/Robin Hood heists. Because apparently female characters in a movie like this are interchangeable, Henley Reeves (Ilsa Fisher) is out and Lula (Lizzy Caplan) has joined up as the “girl horsemen.” The Horsemen are told they’re going after a tech company whose new software or device or other tech thingamabob is going to steal the personal information of everyone who uses it. But just as they begin their big reveal, another mysterious person hijacks their hijacking of the product launch and the Horsemen and Dylan Rhodes are unmasked and find themselves running from the FBI. They are kidnapped and end up in Macau, where they meet Walter (Daniel Radcliffe). Walter is the former partner of the software guy and he wants to steal an all-powerful chip his former buddy is auctioning off to assorted bad guys. The chip allows the owner to un-encrypt any computer and steal any and all data in the world, mwah ha ha ha! Side note: Stealing all the data, spying on everyone, invading everyone’s technological privacy — these bad-guy threats, which have been used in, it feels like, several movies lately (the most recent James Bond movie, for example), are right up there with “to take over the world” as a stake. Which is to say, the threat is so grand as to be kind of meaningless. While the “un-encrypt nuclear codes” side is scary, it’s always the data and privacy element that movies pick as the Big Bad. But I’m pretty sure the customer loyalty cards I willingly signed up for offer enough data to allow most major stores to predict what I’m eating for lunch today. Isn’t a major corporation that steals my data primarily going to use it to sell me things? How exactly is that different from the ad for that one sheath dress that’s been following me around the internet since I first looked at it a week ago? Pick a new scary thing, movies, and make it more specific. The gang is reluctant to steal for Walter but Daniel suggests they do it — though of course he also plans to double-cross Walter and give the chip to The Eye, the mysterious omnipotent organization of magicians from the first movie. Because Dylan has been exposed as the Horsemen’s leader, Daniel believes only The Eye can save them from either a life in prison or a grisly end at the hands of Walter. Dylan,

NITE Making lemonade Local music news & events
By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
• New leap: Shedding her Dum Dum Girls name, Kristin “Dee Dee” Welchez is now Kristin Kontrol, her old band’s retro-pop poses replaced with a sheeny electro-polish. It’s tweaked out Big ’80s ear candy, Bush Tetras by way of Thompson Twins, but modern and smooth as a Tesla dashboard, and irresistibly catchy. KK’s Seacoast show kicks off a short tour to mark her debut album, X-Communicate. Go Thursday, June 16, at 9 p.m. at 3s Artspace, 319 Vaughan St., Portsmouth. Tickets $14 at 3sarts.org. • Teen scene: At only age 16, New Hampshire native Elytta has already won a New England RADAR award and been nominated for NEMA Best Act of the Year. The singer-songwriter writes what she knows, which gives the anthemic “I Want You” a refreshing authenticity next to the committee-created dreck that often clogs the pop charts. She performs Friday, June 17, at 8 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.) at Spotlight Café, 44 S. Main St., Concord. Tickets are $20 at ccanh.com. • Together again: LaconiaFest’s penultimate day will please local rock fans. A Simple Complex play a one-time reunion set, part of a show headlined by Sevendust and P.O.D. Known for kinetic live shows with guitarist Mark Ingoldsby shredding his way through crowds, ASC and singer Jess Vaughn split shortly after winning Best Metal Band at 2015’s New England Music Awards. See them Saturday, June 18, at noon at Weir’s Beach Drive-In, 76 Endicott North, Laconia. Tickets $45 at laconiafest.com. • Double fun: Judging by the insight and precision Jason Isbell displays on his current LP Something More Than Free and 2013’s Southeastern, the South Carolina native is a stunning storyteller backed by an equally amazing band. With Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls opening, this will be a memorable show. Go Sunday, June 19, at 7:30 p.m. at Bank of NH Pavilion at Meadowbrook, Gilford. Tickets start at $25 at bankofnhpavilion.com. • Sun Day: Celebrate the summer solstice with the artful klezmer pop of Bella’s Bartok. The event’s presented by Old Sol, the service-centric nonprofit looking to open a downtown live music venue, in partnership with Intown Manchester, New Hampshire Institute of Art and End Hunger NE. It’s preceded by a meal-packaging service relay; the show is free, but donations are encouraged. Go Monday, June 20, at 5:30 p.m. at Victory Park, Manchester; see more at oldsol.org.

Comic Cotter plays Palace benefit By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
Adaptability is an underappreciated skill in standup comedy, but it’s one that Tom Cotter has in spades. Whether it’s whittling his act down to 90 seconds for America’s Got Talent (he finished second to a pair of dogs) or telling hydroponic pot jokes to a landscaping industry group while flanked by a giant shovel and a bucket of dirt, he’s a flexible guy. “Generally you just kind of tailor it to who you’re in front of,” he said in a recent phone interview. “When I do college gigs I can’t talk about being married — they don’t relate to it. When I do the senior citizen places down in Florida, they don’t want to hear about a drunk roommate.” He’ll have plenty to draw from at his June 22 show in Manchester, a benefit for child-centric cancer charity Alex’s Lemonade Stand. On the subject of kids, Cotter just published a book called Bad Dad – A Guide to Pitiful Parenting. The short tome is filled with tongue-in-cheek tips like, “a good substitute for the game Operation is a fork and a light socket,” and wry one-liners such as this one: “Your child is one in a million, so there are 10,000 just like him in China.” Cotter’s also sure to riff on his local connections. His brother lives in the area, and as a comic that came up in the early ’90s Boston scene, he has long enjoyed performing here. “Manchester clearly has a funny bone,” Tom Cotter – A Comedy Night Fundraiser Benefiting Alex’s Lemonade Stand When: Wednesday, June 22, at 7:30 p.m. Where: Palace Theatre, 80 Hanover St., Manchester Tickets: $25 & $75 (VIP) at palacetheatre.org

he said. “We used to do one-nighters [and] I just never regretted going there. I always knew they were going to get it; they were sharp, whereas in the middle of the country you’ve got to slow it down — their synapses are not firing as fast.” Family members are fodder for Cotter’s jokes, though the horror stories are all fiction. His dad, a doctor, is often a foil. The elder Cotter is good-natured about it, and his son’s career path. “After a ridiculous amount of money invested in my education, I decided I was gonna be a joke-slinger; he could have had a meltdown, but the opposite happened,” Cotter said. “He’s been very supportive. I verbally defecate on him a lot in my act, and it’s all contrived. … He never put me on his shoulders and jumped up and down under a ceiling fan.” Cotter is married to veteran comic Kerri Louise. He believes that ribbing her onstage is “tit for tat … she craps ridiculously on me. Her act is 45 minutes, a good
30 of which is about what a moron her husband is. When I get up, that’s just a rebuttal. The other thing is she just wrote a book called Mean Mommy — it just came out. Every chapter is just abusing me, I swear to God, and she asked me to proofread it. So I’m like, ‘Well honey, douche bag is not hyphenated.’” All kidding aside, it’s a great marriage. “We do have a lot of fun actually,” Cotter said. “She’s very good at what she does. She went further than I did on Last Comic Standing — don’t think for a moment that I don’t hear about that every time we have an argument. I went further than she did on America’s Got Talent, so we get to hold those over each other. We’re kind of a novelty; there aren’t many married comedy couples that have survived. We’re at 15 years in June.” Getting beat on the television talent competition by the rope-jumping, scooter-riding Olate Dogs provided Cotter with some good jokes. It also gave his career a huge boost, though he’d come to the show reluctantly. “My comedy is very rapid fire and everyone told me I should do it, but Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan just don’t get American comedy,” he said. “Then Howard Stern was announced as the new judge; I figured I had Karen Osborne, the wife of the prince of darkness, and Howie Mandel, who’s obviously a comic and gets it.” Stern’s arrival goosed the ratings; it was AGT’s best season ever. Sharing the airwaves with the summer Olympics also added to the show’s success. “The exposure was ridiculous [and] I stepped in leprechaun poop by getting on that season,” Cotter said. “We have three kids, so the best thing I took away from it was a financial relief of knowing that they will be able to go to college. My retirement plan literally was a joke, scratch tickets and a buried treasure map. Now, suddenly, I will not be homeless when I’m 65.”
This year’s Fitz
Band’s evolution continues with new self-titled LP By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
When the breakout “MoneyGrabber” raced up the pop charts in 2011, Fitz & the Tantrums instantly became a band to watch, but the SoCal neo-soul group was a new sensation in name only. Only frontman
Michael “Fitz” Fitzpatrick was a relative newcomer when the band formed in 2008. Noelle Scaggs led her own band for 10 years before becoming co-lead vocalist, drummer John Wicks has two decades of studio credits and keyboard player Jeremy Ruzumna’s resume includes co-writing the 1996 Macy Gray smash “I Try.”
As members of Fitz & the Tantrums, each has surpassed early career milestones. The promise of more is evident with the imminent release of a new selftitled album. A tour to support it kicks off June 19 at Hampton Beach’s Casino Ballroom. Ruzumna reported in a recent phone interview that advance tracks from 68
107918
66 the disc like “It’s Complicated” have been well-received at shows. “I have a term that I made up called ‘IHN’ — involuntary head nod,” he said. “It’s when you play a song and you look around and realize that everybody is just unconsciously nodding their head to the beat. ‘It’s Complicated’ is really like that.” The new single follows the infectious “Hand Clap,” released in early spring. The chorus for that song — “I can make your hands clap” — neatly sums up their musical mantra. The new album is a continuum from their debut, which Scaggs recently said was inspired by “the music we grew up on: Motown, Stax/Volt and New Wave,” and their 2013 follow-up, More Than Just a Dream, which reflected their incendiary live shows. “It’s another step in our evolution,” Ruzumna said. “The rhythms on this album hit way harder, and it just feels like there’s this thing that we are always moving toward, with every song and every album.” Ruzumna reflected on FATT’s nascent beginnings and eventual success. “I had a psychic premonition that this

was going to happen, just something about how everyone in this band is a pro that has been doing this for a long time with a lot of other projects before this,” he said. “From out the gate it was like discovering a band, and then Fitz is so determined and so skilled at what he does. I felt going into this like we had all these great elements and we can do anything.” When they began touring, it became instantly clear that Fitz was perfect for the stage, despite spending most of his professional life up to that point as a studio
engineer. “From the very first show, he was so explosive and so natural at it,” Ruzumna said. “When you get on the road, you have to pick a certain attitude, a certain lifestyle, and all the coping mechanisms. He just took to it so naturally; it’s really crazy to watch. You’d think he’d been doing it his whole life.” An appearance on Live at Daryl’s House provided an early boost — Fitz, Scaggs and horn player Joe King joined the Hall & Oates singer’s web series for a mix of orig-
inals and covers. “During that time, we were really just taking every single opportunity [like] some guy’s garage with a video camera and a website to play two songs on the piano acoustically; we said yes to every single little thing,” Ruzumna said. “When that Daryl thing came along … we could see that the guy had a vision with the show, [and] immediately, we started seeing the effects. Within a day, we had people coming up to us saying that’s how they discovered us.” Ruzumna’s personal influences began with movie scores. Early on, he wanted to be Marvin Hamlisch. He then found modern funk, calling Prince “his gateway drug to soul.” Later, he had a chance to sit in with the Purple One a few times. “He was a big Macy fan, so we ended up jamming,” he said. “It was definitely a highlight of my life to play on stage with the guy a little bit and to talk to the dude.” MTV-era bands like Human League, Heaven 17 and Style Council also figure into FATT’s wide-ranging sound. “It’s funny now when you see young bands channeling the ’80s and they’re being like, ironic hipsters about it, but we’re not really being ironic,” Ruzumna said. “That’s what we love and what we grew up on. If we’re writing anything that sounds like [that], it’s not in any way a conscious decision. It’s just something that we naturally gravitate toward.”

As Libya’s central bank struggles to stabilize a halting economy, it could surely use the estimated $184 million in gold and silver coins that Moammar Gadhafi minted but left buried in an underground vault in the coastal city of Beyda, but the treasure is inaccessible because central bank officials don’t know the lock’s combination (as The Wall Street Journal reported in May). The latest plan is to have a locksmith squeeze through a 16-by-16-inch hole in the outer vault’s concrete wall and once inside to try his hand. If unsuccessful, the government’s bureaucrats likely cannot get paid, but even if successful, various anti-government factions may go to extremes to snatch the coins.
Bright ideas
Argentina’s TV channels have many of the same taboos as U.S. broadcasting, including restrictions on women’s hands-on demonstration of how precisely to examine themselves for breast cancer. However, as AdWeek reported in March, the agency David Buenos Aires apparently solved the problem with an explicit TV public service announcement featuring a model (facing the camera, topless) showing exactly how such an exam should go, e.g., where to press down, where to squeeze. The secret? The model was an overweight man with generous-sized “manboobs.”

Wait, what?
• Video surfaced in May of students at Winston Churchill High School in San Antonio, Texas, actually playing jump rope with the intestines of cats that had been dissected in biology class. Obviously, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals was not pleased, but school district officials called the exercise a valid demonstration of the “tensile strength of the organ” and only reluctantly agreed to investigate further. • When Triston Chase, 20, missed his court date in April in Harnett County, North Carolina, on financial fraud charges, Calendar App Website it was revealed that his arrest in December po’s Hippo’s Calendar App and had come when he had been found “residand Website ing” illegally, as a civilian, in a barracks at Fort Bragg in a facility housing the Army’s 3rd Special Forces Group. According to a prosecutor, Chase had been posing as an explosive ordnance disposal specialist “for months.” The official investigation of Special Forces’ barracks “security” was still underway at the time of Chase’s court date.

Second chances
(1) Efrain Delgado-Rosales was sen-
tenced to five years in prison in March for w.hippopress.com www.hipposcout.com www.hippopress.com www.hippopress.com smuggling noncitizens into the country. (The www.hipposcout.com town, distance, date, and other characteristics Search by town, distance, date, and other characteristics HIPPO | JUNE 16 - 22, 2016 | PAGE 78
Border Patrol had caught him 23 times previously, but had declined to file charges.) (2) Sean Pelfrey, 38, told his judge in May that
the two assault charges against him in Framingham, Massachusetts, do not make him a “threat to society,” even though the current arrest was his 38th. (3) Matthew Freeland, 29, was convicted of several home-invasion offenses in Kingston, Ontario, in May, and the judge, considering a proper sentence, found only two previous probation orders but then, looking further, found 59 convictions and sentenced Freeland to more than two years in prison.
Weird animals
Among the critters for which life is most difficult are male nursery web spiders that (according to May research in Biology Letters journal) instinctively “court” females with food wrapped in silk offerings that (a) increase the males’ chances of scoring and (b) decrease, by 84 percent, their chances that the female will spontaneously eat the male. The study also found that males sometimes try to mate using nonfood items wrapped in silk (with mixed results) and also that sometimes unscrupulous females accept food gifts but nevertheless immediately devour the male.
Least competent criminals
South Carolina Chutzpah! (1) James Kinley III, 27, was charged in York County, South Carolina, in May with dealing marijuana. He apparently had the (unfounded) belief that York County deputies do not monitor Craigslist because that is where Kinley advertised (“I Sell Weed”), in a notice with his photo, address and price ($200). (2) Grady Carlson, 58, went to the Carolina Title Loans office in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on May 25 to apply for a high-interest “payday” loan and nervous-
ly paced while answering questions. The Carolina employee asked if anything was wrong, and Carlson allegedly disclosed that he needed money fast to purchase methamphetamine. A subsequent police search turned up a glass container and drugs.
Recurring themes (cow edition)
For years, India has been concerned about the gas-release problem posed by its nearly 300 million cows (and 200 million more gasintensive animals), but researchers in Kerala state revealed a promising breeding answer in May: dwarf cows (about one-fourth the size, producing somewhat less milk but one-seventh the manure and one-10th the methane). (Pound for pound, methane traps 25 times as much heat as carbon dioxide.) (Bonus: The New York Times Style Book apparently now accepts the word “farting” in formal copy while reporting that “belching” is the far more serious methane problem.) In the early years of News of the Weird, urban readers learned of the custom of various Western locales’ charity cow-patty “bingo” games in which cows are fed and turned loose on a field of wageredupon squares. (In fact, in 1997 Canada’s Nova Scotia Gaming Control Commission temporarily banned the game while it investigated whether it could be “fixed” by training the cow to favor certain relief spots.) The event lives on, but a charity fundraiser in Great Falls, Montana, in May was halted when the cow jumped over a fence and had to be chased down. Rather than await the now-nervous (or perhaps constipated) cow, the contest winner was selected by random draw. Visit weirduniverse.net.
