Five signs For most of the time I knew my paternal grandmother, she was a lively, caring and creative person. In the kitchen, she was a wizard, able to turn out magnificent meals from scratch for her extended family when we all gathered at her house one Sunday evening each month. She was a poet,the quiet homebody kind, who composed lovely little rhyming pieces for special occasions, to honor a friend or to commemorate a sad event. Her poem on the assassination of JFK was published in the local newspaper. Poems were not her only literary expression. When national events captured her attention, she listened to the radio faithfully and would pen long letters to elected officials, write letters to the editor or produce short essays on the topic of the day and send them by U.S. Mail to her children, presumably expecting they would read them aloud to their family at the dinner table. At her memorial service, one speaker remarked, “Betty never met a stranger. If, during the dark days of the Great Depression of the ’30s, someone came hungry to her door, she would invite them in, cook them a meal, give them a few dollars, and wish them well.” So it was a great shock when we grandchildren learned one day that Grandma had been sent to a mental hospital. That such had happened was carefully whispered to each of us and we were sternly told not to tell anyone about this “embarrassing development.” The news was conveyed to us in the same hushed tones with which I would later hear people say the word “cancer.” Those who attended Grandma’s memorial service never knew of her mental illness. They simply knew she’d just disappeared for a couple of years before she died. For years after, we all observed the prohibition against mentioning her final days. I wonder now, but will never know,if anyone recognized any of the warning signs of her developing mental illness, and if they did, why an appropriate response was so delayed and hushed up. Would that have happened if an initiative such as that recently launched by former New Hampshire Supreme Court Chief Justice John Broderick had been in place at that time? Recognition of the five warning signs — personality change, agitation, withdrawal, poor self-care and hopelessness —might have brought her the professional care she needed before it was too late. That thought impels me to challenge us all to go to changedirection.org and learn the Five Signs. The stakes are too high not to.

NEWS & NOTES New hotel
Two development groups have partnered to build a Residence Inn by Marriott on a lot next to the Verizon Wireless Arena between Lake Avenue and Central Street. The Botnick Acquisition Development Team and The Anagnost Companies announced the project at a press conference Aug. 16, and city officials called it a big step forward in the city’s revitalization. The approximately 95,750-squarefoot, upscale, extended-stay hotel will have 145 rooms and is expected to attract a wealthier clientele. It’s opening date is scheduled for Spring 2018 or sooner. The current E&R Laundry and Dry Cleaners building on Central Street will be demolished but Mark Botnick said the Botnick-family-owned business will continue at a nearby location.
Elliot interim CEO
Just shy of a month after Elliot Hospital’s newest interim CEO started the job on July 18, Gary Muller stepped down from the role. Muller’s hiring was announced on July 25 and he was tasked with overseeing the negotiations with Dartmouth-Hitchcock for an affiliation deal. But in an Aug. 16 press release, an Elliot spokesperson said Muller’s continued leadership was not in the mutual best interest of Muller and the Elliot health network because Elliot will need a “longer term and strategic commitment” to complete the partnership agreement with Dartmouth.

Kaine also did some retail politicking with stops at two Concord businesses and the Bridge Cafe in Manchester, from which Clinton herself ordered many a sandwich ahead of the New Hampshire presidential primary.
Mike Pence
Donald Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, will stump for Trump in New Hampshire on Aug. 18. According to the campaign website, he will be hosting a town hall event at the Executive Court banquet center in Manchester, where Trump delivered his victory speech when he won the New Hampshire presidential primary in February. The event starts at 2 p.m. This will be the first visit from Pence to the Granite State since he became the GOP vice presidential nominee.

CMC patients will receive priority at Mass General and Mass General physicians will be training New Hampshire doctors. The two hospitals hope to work together in several areas, including substance abuse treatment, neuroscience and heart and vascular care. Earlier this year, Mass General announced a move to buy Wentworth-Douglas Hospital in Dover.

Worse ways to go
Overdose isn’t the only danger as infectious diseases surge among heroin addicts By Ryan Lessard
rlessard@hippopress.com
Intravenous drug users are dying from something other than overdoses. Every few weeks, the state Medical Examiner’s office releases an updated death toll from drug overdoses. As of Aug. 11, that number is 196 and is projected to reach as high as 482 by year end. But those numbers do not include the people who have died from serious infections delivered into their bodies through a needle containing heroin or fentanyl. Doctors working the front lines are seeing infection rates rising as addicts shun treatment or reinfect themselves; some of these cases, they say, are nothing short of nightmarish.
Untold death toll
Getting a handle on how big this problem is can be difficult since regular tracking of these conditions is not commonplace and their links to drug use are not always evident. In the case of infectious diseases borne of intravenous drug use, the potential link may be found in death certificates. One condition that may serve as an early warning is infective endocarditis, an infection, usually bacterial, of the heart’s valves. Bacteria can enter the heart and blood stream a number of ways, but over the past century, studies have shown that increases in intravenous drug use correspond with increases in endocarditis diagnoses. Jonathan Eddinger, a cardiologist with Catholic Medical Center’s New England Heart & Vascular Institute, said it’s a condition with a high mortality rate. “For somebody with IV drug use who has a heart valve that’s infected that has to go to surgery, you’re probably looking at 20 to 30 percent mortality over the course of a year,” Eddinger said. And it’s 100 percent fatal if it’s left untreated. The Medical Examiner’s office checked its database for deaths caused by endocarditis due to intravenous drug use at the Hippo’s request and found that there have been four in the past three years, two of them from this year. Prior to that, there was a case in 2011 and another in 2006. The ME also found a number of other infections that caused death besides endocarditis that were linked to IV drug use. “We have a few every year who don’t overdose, but, because of their drug use, they develop some kind of infection like endocarditis or meningitis or fasciitis and die from that infection,” said Kim Fallon, the chief forensic investigator at the ME’s office. HIPPO | AUGUST 18 - 24, 2016 | PAGE 6
These bacterial infections were recorded on death certificates with medical jargon describing how widespread, damaging and virulent they were, what strains of bacteria were detected and in what part of the body they took up residence. Meningitis, an infection of the brain’s outer membrane, and pneumonia, an infection of the lungs, are both examples of deadly diseases that residents have contracted from IV drug use. Infections like this happen because needles, narcotic substances or the injection points in the skin are not sterile. Chief Medical Examiner Thomas Andrew said infections from needles can happen anywhere in the body. “These bacteria don’t read any textbooks, they don’t know what they’re supposed to do, they don’t know where we want them to go or expect them to go. They set up shop where they set up shop,” Andrew said. “If they find enough to eat and support themselves and their little families, they’re going to multiply right where they’re comfortable multiplying.” Infection can occur virtually anywhere, from vital organs to joints and bones. Endocarditis is the most common and, along with brain abscesses and spinal abscesses, the most deadly. Given the particular risks of injecting substances directly into the body, common strains of aggressive staph or strep are given an access point from which to invade and gain an upper hand over the body’s immune system. That’s why some infections from needles can manifest in nasty ways, such as when they necrotize tissue. That’s when bacteria leave parts of the body dead and scarred, like scorched earth. Take necrotizing pneumonia for example. “Lung tissue [is] destroyed and will never be replaced by normal lung tissue again. It’s going to be replaced by scarring, so it’s much more severe pneumonia,” Andrew said. Death from endocarditis and related infections is most often caused by sepsis, a system-wide breakdown of vital functions, but they can also cause a stroke if a chunk of bacteria breaks loose from a heart valve and travels up to the brain. Right now, the death toll from drug-related infections is still relatively small, but given the growing number of cases being seen in hospitals, that’s expected to change soon. Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s chief of infectious diseases, Bryan Marsh, says this problem is going to get worse before it gets better. “There’s no doubt in New Hampshire … we’re going to be seeing more people dying from bacterial infections from drug use,” Marsh said.
The walking dead
Clinicians in the field agree: bacterial infections from IV drug use have increased dramatically in the last few years. “The numbers have skyrocketed in the last few years,” Marsh said. At the time of the interview there were five patients being treated for endocarditis from IV drug use at Dartmouth, mostly younger adults under the age of 50. “It’s rare that a week goes by that we don’t have someone admitted with … infective endocarditis,” Marsh said. At Elliot Hospital, there were around 40 endocarditis registrations each year between 2013 and 2015. This year, it’s doubled to more than 80. CMC found that endocarditis cases paired with chronic opioid use have grown exponentially in the past five years. In 2011, there were five cases, by 2014 there were 19. That doubled to 41 the year after and this year it’s up to 62 cases to date. “Over the last three or five years, we’ve seen a real resurgence in the incidence of endocarditis,” Eddinger said. Heart valve surgeries at CMC for endocarditis cases specifically identified as caused by IV drug use have gone from one or two a year five years ago to 10 in 2015. And there’ve been 10 heart valve surgeries so far this year. Eddinger said it’s now common to have about one or two surgeries each month.
Heart valve surgeries
Treatment for endocarditis begins with a four- to six-week regimen of intravenous antibiotics at a hospital. In cases where heart valves are badly damaged, valve surgery is called for. Eddinger said the antibiotic treatment can cost more than $50,000 and the surgeries are more than $100,000, but since many of these drug addicts don’t have private insurance, these services go unpaid for, creating a mounting burden on our healthcare institutions. And Marsh said Medicaid reimbursement in New Hampshire is abysmal for these procedures. To make matters worse, addicts may refuse to stay for the full six weeks of treatment, which may allow some bugs to survive in their system and rebound. Eddinger also said stigma and embarrassment are keeping people from seeking help sooner. “People don’t want to come to the hospital and say they’re an IV drug user, so often times we get these folks late … when they’re real sick and the cat’s out of the bag,” Eddinger said. Dr. Patrick Hickle, a cardiologist at Elliot Hospital, is seeing people who have previously undergone heart valve replacements at CMC only to reinfect themselves by continuing to use IV drugs. This is not only a waste of expensive resources, but for many it’s a death sentence because in most cases a patient can’t safely

undergo a second surgery. In extreme cases, where abscesses have eaten away at parts of the heart, additional surgery is required to patch up and rebuild a patient’s heart. The bacteria have been treatable with antibiotics, but the more those are used, the greater the risk of creating superbugs that don’t respond to traditional treatments. “As we see more cases and have to throw more antibiotics at them, [resistance] is going to be an issue,” Eddinger said.
Hep C
Beyond the increase in bacterial infections from drug use, doctors are also seeing a surge in cases of hepatitis C, a virus. Andrew said the ME’s office tests all known drug users for HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B. “We’re not seeing a huge uptick in HIV or hepatitis B, but hepatitis C really seems to be prevalent among this population. And that, anecdotally speaking from my own experience, seems to be much increased,” he said. Doctors in hospitals are seeing this too. Marsh said almost every patient diagnosed with endocarditis he sees also has hepatitis C, and clinicians at Dartmouth are encouraging endocarditis patients to be tested for hep C if they haven’t been diagnosed. “The number of cases of hepatitis C is astounding,” Marsh said. Right now, hep C is likely to stay contained within the heroin and fentanyl addict population since it is far easier to transmit via needle than sexually. But a repeat of the Exeter Hospital outbreak caused by a healthcare worker’s drug diversion four years ago is still a concern. In an email, DHHS spokesperson Jake Leon said the department is aware of the problem from an uptick in reports, but the state still doesn’t have a full handle on the scope and scale of the infections since they are currently not formally tracked.
Tracking issues
DHHS is working to change the state reporting rules soon, however, to make hepatitis C a reportable disease. Leon said that would help identify outbreaks and implement steps to control them. The rule change requires legislative approval but is anticipated to be authorized in September. Unfortunately, there’s no system set up to track bacterial infections like endocarditis. Even tracking deaths caused by bacterial infections from IV drug use is imperfect as the ME’s office is understaffed and saddled with outdated information systems. “We’ve been using this rather cumbersome, jury-rigged database system for quite a number of years now and I think we’re all frustrated by the lack of up-to-date technology,” Andrew said. But healthcare specialists say a better tracking system for these infections would serve as important clues to broaden our
knowledge of the drug epidemic and address important healthcare trends that may be economically costly. “The bacterial infections … get a lot less press, but they are incredibly important,” Marsh said. He also said that more cost-effective solutions to treating a high volume of endocarditis patients would be found if inpatient clinics were set up for the six-week antibiotic regimen since hospitals are set up for more acute care situations and beds are at a premium. Individual hospitals like CMC are just starting to get a handle on the problem. Eddinger said the public’s understanding of how the drug crisis is affecting our community seldom touches on widespread healthcare side effects like these. “People just don’t have a sense of the broad problem beyond the OD and the Narcan use. What happens after that?” he said. Flesh-eating bacteria While it’s generally considered to be more rare than endocarditis, the condition known by doctors as necrotizing fasciitis is being seen in a number of drug users. “If you get the wrong strain introduced into your skin and soft tissues, it can advance really, really rapidly and that’s why they call it ... ‘flesh-eating bacteria,’” Andrew said. There were two cases where drug-needleborne necrotizing fasciitis was the cause of death in recent years — one in 2012 and another in 2013. Kim Fallon at the ME’s office still remembers the most recent case. A young woman aged 20 to 29, addicted to heroin, had flesheating bacteria in her arm where she was injecting the drug. It had progressed too far before she sought treatment so doctors were prepared to amputate the arm, but by then it was too late. “She ended up dying before they could get to that point,” Fallon said. Symptoms often begin like less-virulent infections or skin irritations that addicts may have experienced before and gotten over, according to Thomas Andrew, the chief medical examiner. “It starts out as redness and swelling over the affected area. That soon becomes warm and itchy. Then there’s blister formation … at the center of the lesion and then the redness spreads out pretty rapidly up and down the particular extremity,” Andrew said. As the extremity swells up, the skin begins to tear and ulcerate. Andrew says the open sores discharge fluid that some describe as looking like dirty dishwater. It’s generally caused by an aggressive strain of strep. Marsh says in his experience, amputations are often followed by several surgeries — seldom fewer than six — to cut off additional chunks of flesh. According to the CDC about 700 to 1,100 cases of necrotizing fasciitis occur in the U.S. each year since 2010.

Law says you must report suspected child abuse By Ryan Lessard
news@hippopress.com
What do you do when you suspect a child living in the apartment next door is being abused or neglected? Maybe you heard yelling, maybe you spied bruises, but you didn’t witness actual abuse. The decision to report suspected abuse may seem like a difficult one, with many unknown ramifications — but what most New Hampshire residents don’t realize is the decision has already been made for them. State law requires everyone to report suspected child abuse, not just child care professionals.

A recent study by researchers at the University of New Hampshire found that a significant minority of adults in the state weren’t aware they were legally required to report even just suspected child abuse. The study seems to suggest that this disconnect has its roots in a generational culture shift and a lack of faith in the system meant to protect children. This comes as state child protection services are under heightened scrutiny over their ability to protect children in the wake of several infant and toddler homicides. Experts say prevailing public misconceptions about how the system works are the greatest barrier to neighbors and family members doing their part. “Many people are confused about what the law entails and have a lot of misperceptions about what actually does that mean, to report child abuse,” said Wendy Walsh, the chief researcher of the UNH study. For Walsh, the most surprising finding in this study was that 39 percent of respon-
dents didn’t know they were legally required to report suspected abuse. And a majority, 61 percent, didn’t realize they could be criminally liable and charged with a misdemeanor if they failed to report suspicions of maltreatment. Participants were asked to answer six questions to test their understanding of the law, the reporting process and a reporter’s anonymity, but only 5 percent answered all six questions right. This is troubling for child protection workers who rely heavily on the public being their eyes and ears. Still, it’s not that surprising to professionals. Lorraine Bartlett, the director of the Division of Children, Youth and Families, noted that although New Hampshire is one of 19 states with a universally mandated reporting law and has had that law on the books since 1979, only about 30 percent of the reports Child Protective Services receives are from nonprofessional members of the public. And when Bartlett reviewed the findings of the UNH study, she noted a clear age difference in how likely the participants were to report abuse and how correctly they answered questions about the process. The older the participants were, the less likely they were to answer the questions correctly. Bartlett thinks that may be partly due to a different mindset among older generations that generally favor less state intervention in family affairs. “I wondered if generational values and differences in beliefs about how a public child welfare agency should or should not intervene with a family impacts people’s not only knowledge but willingness to report,” Bartlett said. Meanwhile, younger participants were

more likely to call CPS while older participants were more likely to call the police. While the reticence to intervene was among the top three factors identified in the study, with 29 percent saying it is “somewhat important” and 12 percent saying it is “very important,” other factors like the time it takes to make the report and a belief that nothing would be done to help the situation were given greater importance by respondents. About 52 percent said their assumption that nothing would be done to help the situation was a “very important” factor. This might have links to the greatest misconception identified in the entire study. “Many adults think that after they call and report something that child protective services are going to swoop in and automatically take the child out of the house,” Walsh said. But state law does not require this, even if abuse is happening. Of those who answered this question, 71 percent got it wrong. And for those who fear making a report could make a bad situation worse, this misconception could be the difference between someone picking up the phone or not. “You can imagine if someone has this perception … it might give them reason to pause,” Walsh said. “That’s just such a huge barrier to deciding to make the call.” This is the first study of its kind for the state and only the second in the nation, according to Walsh. She concludes there’s a need for improving awareness of the legal
requirements and dispelling the myths that keep people from reporting possible abuse. “To me, that shows that we really need to be doing a better job educating the public about what happens after a report is made,” Walsh said.
Social worker myths
Think back to that hypothetical scenario. You have clues, but no proof. But should your suspicion be trusted? Then you think about the stakes; this is someone else’s family, someone’s childhood. What if making the call will place the kid in an understaffed and overworked foster care system with its own risks and disadvantages? Bartlett said these are normal questions to be asking. “You’re thinking, how much information do I need to know or give? What are the potential ramifications for me when I make a report? What are the potential ramifications for the child or the family?” Bartlett said. “I think often times people ask themselves, ‘Boy, am I just gonna make it worse?’” But, Bartlett said, these fears, by and large, are unfounded. Removing a child from a home happens rarely, for the most serious cases, and only after every attempt to keep the child with their family is made. “The Division of Children, Youth and Families’ goal is to maintain children in their own home whenever possible,” Bartlett said. And the next step, if removal is neces-
sary, is to find an extended family member to care for the child. Even then, for many cases, reuniting a child with their parents can still happen down the road when the conditions that led to the abuse or neglect are resolved. So, she said, everyone should err on the side of caution and report what they suspect. It may amount to nothing at all, or it may protect the child from a dangerous situation. Some families who are reported may actually get access to resources to help them get food, clean up a living environment or find addiction treatment or parenting training. Each situation is different, but most neglect cases are a symptom of poverty or mental illness and those folks often need help. Walsh said that as long as success stories from reporting suspected abuse or neglect remain untold, the exaggerated image of CPS workers as state enforcers dispatched to break up families stays unchallenged. Bartlett recalled a recent success story of a woman addicted to opioids who gave birth to a baby with withdrawal symptoms; it’s known as neonatal abstinence syndrome. The workers at the hospital where she gave birth reported it to CPS in January. And instead of immediately prying the baby from its mother’s arms, the CPS worker met with the mother, coached her on safe sleeping, helped her make arrangements to stay with her parents while undergoing outpatient treatment and after the mother
demonstrated her ability to care for her newborn, it was released from the hospital. The CPS worker followed up with two visits, both two weeks apart, and found that she had been continuing her treatment and her parents said the young mother and child were doing well. The case was closed in late February and the CPS worker left her card with the mother, saying she should call if she needs anything.
Making a report
Bartlett said there are currently 10 intake personnel who answer the main line when someone calls in a report, each of them veteran CPS workers. And DYCF is in the process of hiring a CPS worker for each field office to extend coverage to 8 p.m. The agency is also looking into eventually offering 24/7 support coverage, which is one of the ideas floated by lawmakers in the recently created Commission to Review Child Abuse Fatalities. The intake workers on the phone are welltrained, Bartlett said, and inform reporters of what’s going to happen every step of the way. If there’s enough information to trigger an assessment process, a CPS worker will speak with the family being reported and inspect the living situation, or, in extreme cases, involve law enforcement for a full investigation. In many cases, the report gets filed away for a year if there isn’t enough information to act on it. If other reports follow, it may trigger an assessment.

After Manchester officials closed the Crystal Lake swimming area for the fourth time this year, they reopened it to the public on Aug. 12. It was closed due to elevated E. coli levels, according to Phil Alexakos with Manchester Public Health, on June 21, July 19, Aug. 2 and Aug. 8. This may be a record as the closures have averaged about once every year since the late 1990s and there were three closures in 2014 and 2008. Alexakos said in an email that drought conditions may be playing a role in the high bacteria levels as they can cause poor water circulation. QOL Score: 0 (+1 because the lake was open in time for a stifling hot weekend, -1 because of the record closures) Comment: Elevated E. coli levels come from animal feces and rainwater runoff, but a high number of swimmers can also contribute to the increased bacteria.
The average price of gasoline has dropped by 2 cents per gallon from last week to $2.04 in New Hampshire, according to GasBuddy.com.

Employers in New Hampshire are looking forward to having lower workers’ compensation premiums next year following a drop in workers’ comp costs. New Hampshire Business Review reported the National Council on Compensation Insurance filed a rate proposal that shows New Hampshire’s rates in the voluntary market decreasing by 9 percent and the high-risk pool (in which nearly 10 percent of companies are included) going down by 9.4 percent. According to Insurance Department data, this would be the largest drop in the voluntary market in the past several years. About the same number of people are being injured on the job but they’re returning to work sooner so insurance is on the hook to pay less in partial salaries. QOL Score: +1 Comment: This would be the fifth year in a row rates have gone down.

Black and Hispanic people are arrested and incarcerated at higher rates than whites in New Hampshire, according to an analysis of state and county-wide data. NHPR reported the disparity is wider in New Hampshire than nationwide figures and grows at every step of the criminal justice process. Blacks and Hispanics make up 9 percent of the arrests, but are only 5 percent of the state population. Nationally these minority communities are 3.5 times more likely to be jailed than whites, but in New Hampshire that likelihood jumps to a multiple of 5. In Hillsborough County, they are 6 times as likely to be in jail. While whites arrested for drug crimes make up 83 percent of total drug arrests, only 69 percent of those awaiting trial in jail are white. Blacks in Manchester are 3 times more likely to be arrested than whites, according to data from police. That’s slightly higher than Hillsborough County overall. QOL Score: -1 Comment: Manchester Police Chief Nick Willard told NHPR he suspects the disparity in the Queen City might be skewed by offenses committed by people of color traveling from Massachusetts.

The amazingly controversial career of Alex Rodriguez may have come to an end with his release from the Yankees on Saturday. And, of course, his final road games came at Fenway Park, which seems so fitting. So the question last week was, should he have been cheered at Fenway as Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera were for their contributions to the greatest time in the great rivalry’s history? Or should he have been booed for transgressions real and imagined? Former Boston Herald baseball writer Mike Shalin opined “no” to the booing in a column appearing in the UL before the Series. That was echoed by a regular reader (and major Red Sox fan) who emailed during Game 1 he hoped A-Rod would homer because he didn’t like how people were waiting just to boo. I’m not a boo-er and have long since stopped going to Yankees-Red Sox games because of the mindlessness of the “Yankees Suck” mentality, so I got his point. I just didn’t agree. Even playing in a decade rampant with cheating, he is the most star-crossed player in the majors since Shoeless Joe Jackson. A-Rod didn’t throw any games, but, along with Junior Griffey, he was the most naturally gifted ballplayer since probably Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle in 1951. Still, for some reason he needed to cheat and the question is, why? The closest parallel I can give you is Richard Nixon’s 1972 presidential campaign when some enterprising folks in the appropriately named CREEP thought bugging the office of Democratic Party chief (and future NBA commissioner) Larry O’Brien was a winning idea. Then after lying about being involved in the cover-up Tricky Dick got a political version of A-Rod’s PED suspension in being the only president ever to resign.

would have been like Ruth and Gehrig in their heyday to go along with a 300-game winner and an outstanding supporting cast. It might have gone down as the greatest team ever. But he left for Texas to be the centerpiece of the cable-TV network Rangers owner Tom Hicks envisioned would put his team on financial footing with the Yankees. Instead, the giant $250 million contract overwhelmed Hicks’ ownership, leading to three last-place finishes and then to his bankruptcy. That led to a 2004 winter trade sending Nomar to the White Sox and Manny to Texas for A-Rod and Magglio Ordonez. So if it hadn’t been nixed by the Players Association, do they win in 2004? Given that Manny was Series MVP and a far better clutch hitter than A-Rod in the post-season, while Ordonez played just 52 games after getting hurt, I doubt it. Phew! No knock on him, but his 2003 MVP was a joke. How could anyone be the “most valuable” player in any league when his 71-91 team finishes 25 games out of first place? Player of the Year maybe. Most valuable? No way. Next time anyone suggests a long-term contract for a player over 30, here’s the average season the Yankees got in A-Rod’s last five playing seasons of his 10-year deal in games, homers and RBI. Games – 121. Homers – 16. RBI – 51. Plus there was the one-year PED suspension and he’ll be paid not to play next year. All for $27 million per year. Worth it? Back to why he felt he needed to cheat. He tied Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx for their record 13 consecutive seasons driving in 100 runs. His 14 overall is one better than those two and Babe Ruth. That’s a pretty heady place. Finally, with Giancarlo Stanton down for the year, anyone want to bet he’ll be playing for his hometown Marlins by next Wednesday? It would juice the gate and give him a shot to get the four homers he needs for 700. Bet on it. Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress. com.

Since he was on his way to winning 49 of 50 states from the genial but over his head George McGovern, the question also was, why in the name of Aaron Burr would you do something that stupid? But A-Rod did, twice, and got caught both times. First after telling 60 Minutes he never cheated, a story he recanted after irrefutable proof came to light. Then he said, “I only did it playing in Texas.” Given the Hillary Clintonlike track record, who’s buying he only did it then? The second time, he denied it while using a the-best-defense-is-a-strong-offense strategy to send a pit bull lawyer at MLB to get him off the hook. Except he eventually had to admit he did it. With the lawsuit called off, the New York papers then reported he tried to stiff his lawyer for what he was owed. So I’ll ask Shalin: If that’s not enough to get a guy booed, what is? As they say in the movies (and probably during Nixon’s re-election campaigns), if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. And since he brought it all on himself I have no sympathy whatsoever. Here are a few more thoughts on his mercurial career: Only the great New York Giant Mel Ott with 42 homers and 151 RBI while batting .328 in 1929, had a better year at 20 than A-Rod’s 1996 submission of .358, 54 doubles, 36 homers and 123 RBI. Then came the great shortstop debate of the 1990s over who was better, A-Rod, Derek Jeter or Nomar Garciaparra. It mirrored NY’s famous Willie, Mickey and the Duke debate over who was their best centerfielder in the 1950s. All seemed a lock for the Hall — but only Jeter will make it. Nomar derailed his chances by sulking during a 2004 contract dispute that got him traded away from the advantages he gained hitting in Fenway. And all know what happened to Rodriguez. Imagine what Seattle would’ve been like if Randy Johnson, Junior Griffey, A-Rod, Edgar and Tino Martinez, Jay Buhner and others had stayed together for a decade like teams did before free agency. He and Griffey

Bedford LL out at NE Regional The Big Story: Bedford Little League’s All-Star run ended Thursday after the team surrendered 10 runs in the final two innings in a 17-11 loss to Fairfield, Connecticut, at the NE Regional Championship, though they did not go easy in the double-elimination tourney after being kicked into the losers bracket. They came back the next day to pound out 15 hits in a 14-4 win over Vermont behind three-hit days from Brett Niland, TJ O’Connell and Evan Kaplo. O’Connell and Ethan Larochelle had four RBI each while Kaplo also got the win with a hit, no walks and four innings of work. That was followed by the Fairfield game, which gave a soon to be forgotten disappointing ending to a terrific August run.

ARTS Fresh faces at art show
Second-year artist on painting, showing and finding balance By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
The 63rd Greeley Park Art Show will feature artists who’ve been selling work there for decades, but visitors will find some up-and-coming painters here too — like Nashua resident Alli Blanchette, who’s taking her second swing at the event this weekend. Blanchette only recently jumped back into the local painting scene a couple years ago. She hadn’t touched a brush in more than a decade, since studying studio art at Oklahoma State University, then graphic design at Hesser College. “When I was in school, I used to do very intricate stuff, and I would never finish anything,” Blanchette said during an interview at her sunny Nashua studio last week, her dog Lovey by her side. “I guess I lost interest, and that’s why I went into graphic design. I felt it would be more stimulating.” It wasn’t; the degree taught her she hates sitting at a desk, and so for a while, Blanchette focused on other interests — upcycling furniture (which left her with a massive latex paint collection) and gardening. Her love of painting returned with a vengeance in December 2013 while she was working at Shady Hill Greenhouses in LonAttend the 2016 Greeley Park Art Show Where: Greeley Park, 100 Concord St., Nashua When: Saturday, Aug. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Aug. 21, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. What: Adult competition Saturday, EAST/student competition (ages 6 to 18) Sunday; both days, there’s Painting With Friends, sponsored by Express It Art, as well as a silent auction and puppet shows Admission: Free Contact: allicatart.com, nashuaareaartistsassoc.org

donderry. She’d been dressing up wreaths and kissing balls when her boss asked her to paint an eight-foot sign on heavy plywood to attract passersby. Magic happened when paint touched wood. “I thought, ‘This is great! This feels good!’ I hadn’t done this in so long. And I had never worked really big like that,” she said. Not long afterward, she asked her brother-in-law, a carpenter, to build her an easel, which now sits in the corner of her studio. Alongside it is a shelf of hand-mixed paints in mason jars. Her first pieces were done on plywood with house paint, which is how she prefers to work today. At the time of her interview, Blanchette was placing the finishing touches on the pieces she’d bring to the show, which occurs Saturday, Aug. 20, and Sunday, Aug. 21, in Greeley Park. She plans to have both large and small original pieces, as well as notecards and magnets for those who can’t afford the more expensive work. “It’s a big purchase. We’re talking hundreds of dollars. And there’s a reason it’s

hundreds of dollars, because we put a lot of work into it, but it’s hard to part with hundreds of dollars. A lot of people will sit on it and think about it for a little while. … I’ve had people call me back, a year and a half after seeing one of my paintings, and say, ‘Hey, I really want to buy that for my wife — she’s still thinking about it,’” she said. Blanchette describes her style as “whimsical impressionism,” full of color and vibrancy. Her graphic design degree may be to blame. “In graphic design, you want to catch people’s attention, and you want to keep things simple. And that’s basically what my art is all about,” she said. It’s also looser and freer than her work at school. At first glance, her paintings, which hang on the walls of her studio, kitchen and bedroom, might not look like anything at all. But step away and you may find the outlines of a frog, giraffe, elk or dog wearing a red tutu hidden between the brush strokes. Or, you might not, which is OK too. “I love it when people interpret my artwork as something I hadn’t intended,” she

said. After encouragement from friends and family, she began exhibiting and selling her work about a year ago. Her first show was Greeley Park, but she’s also had work in Portsmouth and Derry. “I thought, well, why not try it? I’m going to be 60 someday thinking, why didn’t I just try it? Why do I have an attic full of paintings I didn’t try to get out there into the world?” she said. It’s been a matter of finding balance. “When I first started [doing art shows], I was like, ‘I’m going to start doing this every weekend!’ But it’s exhausting. It’s essentially setting up a store and taking it down at the end of the day,” Blanchette said. “What I found is that, when I was being really aggressive, it was hard to produce. … I had to realize that I’m doing this for fun. To make a job out of it is not going to work for me because I don’t like stress. … Some people thrive on stress. I don’t. So I had to step back.” She has no regrets. “I’m 100 percent happier,” she said.

FINAL WEEKEND!
New Hampshire actress Katie Collins has been wanting to perform in The Spitfire Grill for years, and she finally gets her chance with The Majestic Theatre’s production at the Derry Opera House Aug. 19 through Aug. 21. The Spitfire Grill — with music by James Valcq, lyrics by Fred Alley and book by the pair of them — is based on the 1996 film of the same name and depicts the journey of a woman, Percy, just released from prison who, inspired by an old travel book, decides to start her life anew in a rural Wisconsin town. She finds a place for herself working at Hannah’s Spitfire Grill, a restaurant for sale but with no takers. Percy suggests to the owner, Hannah Ferguson, that she raffle it off. Collins said her friend Chris Courage first told her about the show five or six years ago. After listening to a couple of songs, she was hooked. “[The songs] were different. They weren’t classically Broadway. But you could tell right away these were interesting people singing the songs,” said Collins, See The Spitfire Grill

who plays Hannah, during a rehearsal at the Majestic Theatre rehearsal space two Wednesdays before showtime. “When I heard [Hannah’s] song for the first time — you could tell right away, this was a woman with some pain in her life.” It was a part with substance, Collins said, which is sometimes hard to find in today’s theater scene. “I turned 50 this year. And it’s hard, sometimes, in theater to find shows that have really good parts for women once they get past the much-beloved 20- to 35-range. So often you’re comic relief or the doddering old lady. But with this — she’s just such a real, wonderful person, and that’s what I loved about it,” Collins said. “When [Artistic Director Rob Dionne] told me he wanted to do Spitfire Grill … I just grabbed his arm and said, ‘Are you kidding? Are you kidding?’ I was so excited.” Collins is also the one who told Sheree Owens, who plays Percy Talbot, about the show. “I like to jump on the shows that don’t come around very often. And the music is very different. It has a lot of folk inspiration in it,” said Owens, who spent a few years in high school and college performing in a Celtic rock band called Clan Du. “You can’t really do choreography in these numbers because they’re so grounded in reality. It’s not like Oklahoma!, where all of a sudden, 40 dancers just materialize out of nowhere. These are very real songs.” This is what attracted director Mer-

Notes from the theater scene
• Pitch in: The Friends of the Concord City Auditorium are sprucing the theater up at 2 Prince St., Concord, this week, Monday, Aug. 22, through Wednesday, Aug. 24, from 9 a.m. to noon and 6 to 9 p.m. each day for the 26th Annual Pitch In. It’s an annual event, and the Friends clean the windows, orchestra seats, dressing rooms and stage floors, sew the curtains, polish the chandeliers and send event calendars to thousands of area households in order to get ready for the upcoming season. Pitch In crew chief is Joye Olson of Concord, whose family has led the Pitch In for 25 years, lining up the job lists and setting up supplies. Each year nearly 100 volunteers show up and shine up the city-owned theater, setting the stage for the coming season in order to keep costs low. Volunteers also get light breakfast or supper featuring Panera specialties. Show up and help out during these times or call Olson at 219-0407.

She first saw The Spitfire Grill at the Rep years back. In many ways, she said, it’s more like a play with music than a musical, made up of characters, not over-the-top caricatures, who all have arcs and grow throughout the story. There are no big costume changes or set pieces. “It just struck a chord with me. It has since been one of my favorite shows,” Peiffer said. “I love its simplicity. It’s not shoving all these messages down your throat. It’s a story about human connection.” In addition to Collins and Owens, the play features Owens’ husband, Elliot Owens, performing opposite her; Michael Coppola; Jessica Plummer; Kate Flower and Eric Skoglund, with musical direction by Keith Belanger.

Owens said she hopes audiences come to watch, even though it’s a lesser-known production. She compared it to going out to eat. “Sometimes folks are hesitant to spend money on a ticket to a show they’ve never heard of because they don’t know what they’re in for. It’s kind of like going a new restaurant. They say, ‘Oh, maybe we’ll just go to the Olive Garden.’ But don’t go to the Oklahoma! Olive Garden. Don’t miss this one,” Owens said.

For all Granite State steampunk enthusiasts or business owners specializing in themes of dystopian fantasy, the second annual Gate City Steampunk Festival is the place to be. The free event will be held from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 20, at MakeIt Labs in Nashua. The mostly outdoor festival will feature dozens of clothing, craft and gift vendors, as well as a costume contest and live music, all to celebrate steampunk, said event organizer Ryan Glen Hirsch of Gate City Steampunk. “Steampunk is a variety of things, but a lot of the stories with the theme take place in a Victorian or Wild West setting, almost like a retro future setting,” Hirsch said. “It can be a dystopian future where only steam power remains, or it can be an alternate universe where other uses of fuel never developed and steam became the primary use.” Hirsch said steampunk’s fashion theme also draws heavily from both Victorian England and the 1850s American Wild West, as well as bronze and brass gadgetry made from steam power. Gate City Steampunk Festival When: Saturday, Aug. 20, noon to 6 p.m. Where: MakeIt Labs, 25 Crown St., Nashua Cost: Free ($50 vendor registration fee) Visit: gatecitysteampunk.com

As many as 40 local vendors whose designs favor or feature the steampunk style are expected to appear at this year’s festival, Hirsch said. Visitors will also get an opportunity to craft their own steampunk gear at the “Put a Gear in It” steampunk crafting station. “We’re looking to invite as many people down as possible, including people who are part of the steampunk meetups in New England,” he said. The Boston Sprockettes will also be holding a midway, featuring several games and contests with prizes. People are also encouraged to dress up in their favorite steampunk outfits for a costume contest. “This is going to be a very interactive event,” Hirsch said. “It’ll also be a fun place for people to come down and have a steampunkthemed picnic and interact with other steampunk enthusiasts.” The Providence, R.I.-based synthpop industrial rock group Platform One, a band Hirsch said is known for playing at several different steampunk, goth and anime conventions across New England, will be performing a headlining set near the end of Saturday’s festival. Hirsch said last year’s event was held at the Nashua Public Library alongside the library’s own comic book convention and raised money for MakeIt Labs to help it open its new location. The makerspace and nonprofit officially opened its doors in 2010 as New Hampshire’s first community workshop and offers everything from classes in laser cutting and machining to 3-D printing and welding.

Going to seed … or to the freezer
By Henry Homeyer

My vegetable garden is producing more food each day than I can eat, but I’m trying to keep up with it by freezing, dehydrating and storing the bounty. And of course, I drive around with zucchini in my car, always looking for a willing recipient of some summer squash. But I am also deliberately letting some things go to seed. We sometimes describe people who are going downhill and not paying attention to their appearances as “going to seed.” That’s an odd phrase and has negative connotations. But I like letting lettuces and some other greens go to seed. Why? They will come back and produce early greens in the garden. Once lettuce starts to elongate and get tall, also known as bolting, it starts to get bitter. If you pick it, you will notice white sap in the stem, usually a sign of bitter alkaloids. So you can pull it and toss it on the compost pile, or allow it to produce seed. Or eat it, if you like the flavor. Most lettuces are not hybrids, so you can save their seed and get good free seeds. But read the seed package or catalog — or go online and ask Dr. Google — to verify that the named variety you are growing is not a hybrid before collecting seed, or allowing it to self-sow. Anything listed as “heirloom” is not a hybrid. (Hybrids are crosses of two varieties and do not usually breed true). Lettuce normally self-pollinates as the stigma (which captures the male pollen) pushes up through the florets. If you want to cross-breed lettuces, I have read that you can grow different varieties side by side and then tie two plants together when they have bolted and are about to produce flowers, thus facilitating cross-breeding. I’ve never tried this, however. If I want lettuce to produce seeds, I remove any newspapers and hay — the mulch I use — from around it. This allows seeds to fall freely into the soil, where it will, generally, not germinate until next spring. Alternatively, one can take plants with dry seeds and shake the seeds out over a new, clean bed for lettuce next year. I like to let a few other greens go to seed, too. Magenta spreen, amaranth and orach are other edible greens that I grow but rarely have to plant. All are just one step from being weeds, and can be eaten raw or cooked. Orach has gorgeous purple leaves, and the spreen, particularly when young, has green leaves with pink edges. Amaranth has edible leaves, nice blossoms, and seeds that are eaten as grain in South America. Right now I have one spike of magenta spreen that

stands 104 inches tall! Tomatoes are starting to ripen for me: first the cherries, and now smaller plum tomatoes. In a few weeks those big, juicy heirloom tomatoes like Brandywine will be along — sending me, temporarily at least, to heaven. I had a garden party recently and my guests were somewhat surprised to see that I have 30-some tomato plants. Although I share some of the fruit, I eat it fresh (three times a day) and freeze the rest. I freeze whole tomatoes in zipper bags and cook with them all year. To make these “red rocks,” all I do is wipe them clean and fit them into freezer-grade plastic bags. I place them on a cookie sheet in the freezer. When I want to make a soup or stew that calls for tomatoes, I just run a few tomatoes under hot water in the sink until I can easily rub off the skins. Then I wait a few minutes for them to soften and cut into pieces for the soup pot. Imperfect tomatoes I often make into tomato paste and freeze in ice cube trays until frozen, and then put in zipper bags. I remove any imperfect spots and then core the tomatoes in the sink, squeeze out the excess seeds and juice, and puree in the Cuisinart. Then I boil down the puree for a few hours in a heavy enamel-clad cast iron pot. When I can literally stand up a spoon in the mix, it’s done. I leave it out all night uncovered to cool and to evaporate a little more moisture before spooning it into those ice cube trays. Kohlrabi has done very well for me this year. I started seeds in the house in the spring, and transplanted them into the garden in early summer. This worked better than planting seeds in the ground, as there was no thinning to be done and the plants are perfectly placed. I peel raw kohlrabi and cut it up in salads, or cook it in stir-fry or stews. The purple variety I’m eating now is so pretty I’m going to use it as a centerpiece on the table tonight. Oh, the pleasure I get from my garden! Read Henry’s blog twice weekly at https:// dailyuv.com/gardeningguy. Henry gardens in Cornish Flat. He is the author of four gardening books.
IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT
Dear Donna, While cleaning out my parents’ home we found these old cigars from Manchester. I’m not sure why my dad would have had them because he didn’t smoke. My question is, does anyone collect old cigars? They have never been opened. Carl from Amherst Dear Carl, Yes, people do collect old cigars. Even ones that are opened, depending on the cigar. Your R.G. Sullivan Dexter cigars were manufactured right in Manchester at the R.G. Sullivan cigar factory on Canal Street. The history behind these and the 7-20-4 cigars is a very interesting one and a big part of the history of Manchester. You can find out more by going to the Manchester Historic Association on Bedford Street in Manchester. They also have a website that you can do research on as well. It’s really interesting and educational. Your cigars are collectible in today’s market because of their being local, and it seems cigars in general these days have become very popular again, so collecting has too. I have seen them around, and in good wrapped condition as yours they sell in the $10 range to collectors. Some bring more than others. To try to answer your question about why your dad would have had them, I can remember when people had events when I was young, there was always someone who was handing out cigars as a form
of celebrating. I even remember when a woman had a baby the men would pass out cigars with a ribbon on them for a boy or girl. So maybe this is how he got them and just tossed them somewhere until you came across them. Or maybe someone they knew worked in the factory. No matter how or why he had them, they are a great piece of local history.

If you’ve ever walked through any of Manchester’s public parks and wondered where all of the historic monuments came from, a guided tour hosted by the Currier Museum of Art on Saturday, Aug. 20, will shed light on their history. From 2 to 4 p.m., museum curator Kurt Sundstrom and Manchester author and historian Aurore Eaton will lead people through several of Manchester’s parks while providing information on many of the monuments that have been constructed over the years. The tour is one of several events that is being held in conjunction with the Currier’s “Urban Landscapes: Manchester and the Modern American City” exhibit, which will be on view through Aug. 29. Sundstrom will be leading a presentation during the tour that will provide artistic information about each of the monuments and talk about the artists’ involvements. The former executive director of the Manchester Historic Association and the author of the book The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company: A History of Enterprise on the Merrimack River, Eaton will be joining Sundstrom to provide historical insight behind each of the monuments. “The idea was to do a couple of tours to make people think about the construction and the architecture of the city of Manchester,” Eaton said, “and to open their eyes and let them know how it was a city that was basically planned from scratch by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company.” Saturday’s tour will begin and end at Veterans Memorial Park, starting with the Civil War Monument. Eaton said the sculpture was completed on Sept. 11, 1879, just 14 years after the end of the Civil War. Built by Connecticut architect George Keller, the monument cost $20,000 to complete and more than two thousand people showed up for its unveiling. It was built to honor citizens from Manchester who had fought in the war. “Manchester took a long time to get over the Civil War,” Eaton said, “as a lot of major cities in the United States did.” Other major monuments that will be visited include the Victory Monument in Victory Park, commemorating those who served in World War I. The structure was built in 1929 by Lucien-Hippolyte Gosselin, who studied in Paris with the Manchester Institute of Arts and Sciences — now known as the New Hampshire Institute of Art. Also in Victory Park is the Rene Gagnon Monument. Gagnon was a native of Manchester and one of the six U.S. Marines

who appeared in the iconic 1945 photograph “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima” during World War II. The monument was unveiled in 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the flag raising. From there, the tour will move a bit further north to Pulaski Park to visit the Pulaski Monument, which was also built by Lucien-Hippolyte Gosselin. It depicts the Revolutionary War hero General Casimir Pulaski and was created to honor the Polish population of Manchester. Before returning to Veterans Park, the tour will make a stop at the John Stark Monument at City Hall Annex. Eaton said Stark was a hero of the Battle of Bennington in Bennington, Vt., but an original native of the then-named Manchester territory of Derryfield. For those reasons, there are two versions of the statue that can be found in each of those cities and towns. The tour will also pass by the original site of the hotel where President Abraham Lincoln once stayed in March 1860. Eaton said the property has since turned into an apartment building. “At the end of the tour, we want to encourage people to visit the Gold Star Mothers monument, because it is in the area of where they will be going back to their cars,” Eaton said. Historic walking tour When: Saturday, Aug. 20, 2 to 4 p.m. Where: Begins and ends at Veterans Memorial Park in Manchester. The tour will go down Chestnut, Pine and Elm Streets. Cost: $5 for museum members, $15 for non-members; for new members, the cost of the tour will include free admission to the Currier on a future date of choice Visit: currier.org/calendar

IN/OUT CAR TALK
‘Magic’ oil plug probably comprised mostly of snake oil Dear Car Talk: I write to you today about a mystery that has been bugging me for about 60 years. Growing up in Buffalo, New York, I had never been farther west than Cleveland, By Ray Magliozzi Ohio. In 1957, I drove to summer school at the University of Colorado in Boulder, a journey of 1,550 miles. In those days, radio reception was poor beyond the Mississippi River. In Kansas, the only station played the Everly Brothers and an infomercial for a product that would obviate the need for oil changes for the life of the car. For $5, I couldn’t resist. I soon received a box with an ordinary oil drainage plug; soldered to the end was a tiny chain of three or four links of a whitish metal. The oil had been only slightly discolored on the long road trip from Buffalo, but soon became darker and darker due to a lot of driving on dirt roads, then prevalent in the Boulder area. It soon became almost coal-black, so I headed to a nearby garage for an oil change. The grease monkeys doubled over with laughter when I showed them the oil plug, which they dutifully installed. But the joke was on them: Even driving many miles on dirt roads, the oil remained clear.
A year later, it was still clear. What was the composition of this drain plug and links? Thanks! — James I have no idea what it was, but I’m sure it didn’t work. There is no magic potion or magic links that obviates the need for oil changes. There’s a long history in this country of snake-oil products that separate otherwise-reasonable people from their money and don’t do diddly. And most people who fall for these scams use the same logic you did: “Hey, it’s only $5!” Although today it’s more likely to be, “Hey, it’s only $59.95!” I don’t know exactly why your oil was filthy during that first change and less filthy a year later. It could have to do with the tremendous amount of blow-by you created driving at high speeds across the country with all of your worldly belongings in the car. Whereas once you were in Boulder, after that oil change, you mostly were driving slower on local roads, for much shorter trips, and without all your stuff weighing down the car. And it’s not unusual for oil to get very dark very quickly once it starts to get dark from contamination. Or maybe, like lots of other people who spend their money on this stuff, you see what you’re hoping to see. But whatever happened, I can assure you that those links had nothing to do with it.
Dear Car Talk: My parents have a ‘67 Mustang that has been sitting for a few years. They’re going to allow me to drive it if I can fix it myself. The car runs and drives, but the front tires bend in. The top end of each tire bends in toward the frame. I really do not know what is causing this or how to fix it. I would love any advice on what to do or what to check. I don’t know where to begin. — Michael You probably want to begin with a parttime job mowing lawns, Michael. That’ll help you earn enough money to take the car to a front-end specialist. I know you want to fix it yourself, but since you’re dealing with the wheels that steer the car, you have to start by finding out whether it’s safe, or can be made safe. So the first thing you should do is take it — or tow it — to a shop and ask them to try to align it. There are three planes of alignment: There’s toe in/toe out, which is whether the fronts of the wheels point in (like someone who’s pigeon-toed) or out (like a duck-walker). There’s caster, which is the forward-back position of each wheel. That determines how much the steering “self-corrects” back to straight after you make a turn. And then there’s camber, which is when the top of the wheel leans in toward the rest of the car, or
out away from it. So you have positive camber, Michael. That’s not necessarily a positive thing, but that’s what we call it. And you want to know why. It could be something simple, like it just needs to be aligned. Or it has worn-out or broken springs. Or it could be that, back in 1987, your Mom went flying over a 10-inch curbstone at 20 mph and bent everything under the hood. That may also be why your folks stopped driving it. But in order to figure out what’s wrong, a shop is going to have to evaluate the condition of all the parts that hold those front wheels in place — the ball joints, the tie rods, the control arms, the control-arm bushings. And then they’re going to have to prescribe a fix. And if you’re mechanical and you have access to tools and a mentor, then you may want to try to fix it yourself. Or if it’s beyond your capabilities, then keep mowing lawns until you can pay the shop to do it for you. But start with professional help, Michael (don’t feel bad ... a lot of our readers need professional help). Start by finding out what it will take to make the car safe, and then make your repair plans accordingly. Good luck. Visit Cartalk.com.

FOOD Middle East feast
Mahrajan festival features Lebanese specialties By Angie Sykeny
News from the local food scene
asykeny@hippopress.com
By Angie Sykeny
Whether you love Middle Eastern food already or you’ve never tried it but would like to, the Mahrajan Middle Eastern Food Festival will offer plenty of the culture’s specialties, like lamb kabobs, shawarma, mamoul cookies and more. The three-day festival is held Friday, Aug. 19, through Sunday, Aug. 21, at Our Lady of the Cedars Melkite Catholic Church in Manchester. The festival began about 40 years ago as a small Sunday afternoon meal, then gained more and more community interest over time. Since the church’s original founders were from Lebanon, the food is primarily Lebanese in origin. “They’re very traditional [dishes]. These are all of our mothers’ recipes that we’re using,” said festival co-coordinator Marylou Lazos, who oversees the cooking operations for the festival. “Some of these things you won’t find anywhere else.” The appetizer menu has items like hummus with lemon and tahini (a sesame paste), tabbouleh salad (parsley, cracked wheat and tomato with lemon and spices), tzatziki (a yogurt cucumber dip spiced with garlic and mint) and individual servings of meat pies and spinach pies known as fatayars. “The flavors in this kind of food are

familiar to most people,” Lazos said. “It’s a lot of garlic, salt and pepper, cinnamon, allspice, mint and sesame tastes, and there’s nothing hot and spicy. There’s definitely a lot of flavor, but it’s nothing too strange tasting.” For entrees, there’s the lubyeh (green beans cooked in tomato sauce and spices, served over rice), falafel, the kibbee platter (spiced ground beef baked and mixed with cracked wheat and layered with pine nuts, lamb and onions) and mujaddara (lentils with rice and caramelized onions). But the biggest sellers, Lazos said, are the marinated lamb, beef tip and chicken kabobs, the stuffed grape leaves known as warak arish, served with Lebanesestyle yogurt, and a very popular dish called shawarma. “People love the shawarma,” she said. “It’s roasted lamb or chicken sliced thinly
and put into a wrap of vegetables and sauces, either tahini sauce, which has a sesame taste, or the yogurt sauce, tzatziki, which has a mint taste.” The festival’s menu also includes traditional Middle Eastern desserts like baklawa (Lebanese baklava), date- and nut-filled mamoul cookies, coosa pita (custard made with a sweetened summer squash that’s layered between sheets of phyllo dough) and almond butter cookies known as ghrybe. People can eat at the event or take their food to go, but most people stay to enjoy the other cultural activities like music and dancing, hookah rentals, a bazaar and fun and games for kids. “We just hope people come and try us out,” Lazos said. “Every year we listen to what people say and keep improving the recipes a little, so the food tastes better every year.”

ing of flavors, texture and aftertaste. This year’s celebrity judges include veteran Chili Fest judge Nicole Barreira, better known as Chef Nicole, from T-Bones and Cactus Jack’s; Rick Broussard, culinary enthusiast and editor of New Hampshire Magazine, returning for his second year of chili-judging; and first-time judge Allen Zick, executive chef for The Common Man family of restaurants and board member for Lakes Region Community College’s culinary program. The grand prize is $1,000 in cash, awarded to the first-place amateur winner. All other winners will receive plaques and, for professional winners, colorful Chili Fest banners to display in their place of business. The judges will also choose the winning rotary club, which will receive a $200 prize to give to the charity of its choice. Though the chili is the highlight of the festival, there will be a food court with other fare like barbecue ribs and chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs, frozen treats and beer trucks. The festival will also feature activities and entertainment such as a vintage car cruise-in, live music, raffles and door prizes, a kid zone with games, face painting and crafts; and over 20 vendors selling New Hampshire-made crafts, specialty foods and chili-inspired items. “It’s a wonderful event to take in on a Sunday in the summer,” Zax said. “It’s family-friendly, it’s in a beautiful location, and it has things that will interest everyone, from the music and the vendors to the food and just the whole ambience.”

What started as a small chili cook-off between local emergency service departments has grown into a full-fledged festival attracting 40 to 50 chili makers and over 2,000 attendees. The Henniker Rotary Club’s 14th annual Fire on the Mountain Chili Fest takes place Sunday, Aug. 21, at Pats Peak Ski Area and will feature professional and amateur competitions with plenty of chili samples for visitors. “The professional competition is for anyone who is considered someone who makes chili for a living, like a restaurant or caterer,” public relations coordinator Ruth Zax said. “But for the amateur competition, it could be anyone, like service clubs or any individual who thinks they’ve got a great chili recipe that they make at home or make for the Super Bowl every year.” Unlike many chili competitions with strict regulations on ingredients and cooking methods, the Fire on the Mountain Chili Fest gives competitors total freedom to make their chilies however they want. For attendees, that means a wide variety of chilies for the tasting. Zax said there have been veggie, white bean and green chilies, fish-based chilies and chilies with all kinds of meats, including steak, hamburger, pork and even moose meat. “We tell people to get creative, and they do get very, very creative,” she said. “We’ve had chilies flavored with Indian spices like curry, a chili with chocolate, and this year we’ll have a kung pao Chinese chili. It’s just whatever people come up with based on the type of restaurant they are or the type of chili they like to make.” There will be around 20 professional and 15 to 20 amateur competitors this year, plus a newly added third competition exclusively for local rotary clubs that’s expected to have at least five competing clubs. All chili makers will be serving 1-ounce sample cups of their creations until judging concludes at 3:30 p.m. Prizes will be awarded to the first-, secondand third-place professional and amateur winners decided by a panel of celebrity judges, and to the people’s choice winners determined by attendees’ votes. “The people’s choice awards are usually the most coveted, especially by the professionals because they want to draw more people to their restaurants,” Zax said. “If they’re voted the best chili, it’s like a nice seal of approval for them.” The judges will conduct a blind taste test on each chili and score it based on its appearance, aroma, creativity and uniqueness of ingredients and presentation, taste and blend-

Your Favorite Restaurant Coming to Manchester Soon!
When Bellavance Beverage Company and the City of Nashua came together to create Gate City Brewfest in 2013, they never even considered hosting a typical beer festival. “We wanted an event that was different from other brew fests,” Chelsea Murfitt, Bellavance marketing coordinator, said. “Our hope was to make it more of a community event that’s open to all ages and has something for everyone.” The festival, happening Saturday, Aug. 20, at Holman Stadium, will feature not only beer, but also a chicken wing competition, a buildyour-own burger bar, specialty food vendors, non-alcoholic drink samples and more. At the door, each attendee will receive a 4-ounce souvenir tasting glass, 10 beer sampling tickets, wing tasting tickets and a wing nut that they’ll use to vote for their favorite wings. Eleven local restaurants will be serving up their signatures wings, some that are regular menu items and others that are made specially for the competition. Murfitt said some restaurants get very innovative with their sauces. “Something kind of cool last year were these craft beer-inspired wings where they actually used beer to make the sauce,” she said. “I think that was a really creative way to be unique.” Food and brews Wing competitors: 110 Grill, Bertucci’s, Boston Billiard Club, Burtons Grill of Nashua, Fratello’s, Margaritas Nashua, Not Your Average Joe’s, Peddler’s Daughter, Pig Tale, Shorty’s, Texas Roadhouse

There will be two winners of the wing competition: one decided by a panel of judges who will do a blind tasting of each wing, and the other decided by attendees who will cast their votes by putting their wing nuts in the bins next to the restaurants with their favorite wings. Whichever restaurant has the most wing nuts by the end of the day will win the people’s choice award. Both winners will receive plaques to display in their restaurants. At least 50 brewers will be participating in the Gate City Brewfest, including local breweries as close as Martha’s Exchange and Millyard Brewery from Nashua, and breweries from across the country as far as 21st Amendment Brewery and North Coast Brewing Company from California. There will be some international imported varieties too, like Weihenstephaner from Germany, Belhaven from Scotland and Dos Equis from Mexico. “We’ve brought on a lot of new breweries from all over, which is really exciting,” Murfitt said. “This year’s festival will have more breweries than ever.” Samples also include other alcoholic beverages like Best Damn Root Beer, Bud Light Mix-A-Ritas and a variety of hard ciders, and non-alcoholic beverages like Celsius energy drinks and Vita Coco coconut water. New this year, a Budweiser mobile bar will be there, and the Nashua Silver Knights will be running the grills for a build-your-own burger bar where attendees can choose from a wide selection of toppings to create a custom burger, then take a picture of it to enter it in the Best Burger Photo contest. 52 Gate City Brewfest Where: Holman Stadium, 67 Amherst St., Nashua When: Saturday, Aug. 20, 1 to 5 p.m.; see website for information on pre-festival special events and after parties Cost: $25 if purchased in advance online, $30 at the door, $10 for designated drivers and persons under age 21, free for kids age 12 and under.

Nate Butcher opened 33 Hilltop sandwich shop (33 Indian Rock Road, Windham, 818-8885, 33hilltop.com) with his brother-in-law in April 2015. They both grew up with fathers who worked in the food industry, and they always joked about starting an eatery of their own. When the property that was formerly Hilltop Deli and General Store became available, they stopped joking and decided to go for it. Butcher was already familiar with the restaurant business and cooking from watching his father, working in restaurants himself and studying hospitality at Boston University. Now, at 33 Hilltop, he does everything from running the counter to preparing the food and creating signature sandwiches for the menu.

Gate City Brewfest is also hosting special events with local businesses on the days leading up to the festival, and after parties in the evening following the festival. “We want to involve the community and the downtown businesses as much as possible,” Murfitt said. “Hopefully afterwards people will go downtown to some of these bars and restaurants and enjoy the after parties.”

This is the first year we grew garlic in the garden. Last fall, I noticed farmers at my local market selling garlic to plant. I was intimidated at first (planting something that would overwinter on purpose?), but after speaking with one of the farmers, I decided to go for it. I planted several cloves in October, before the first frost, and then covered them generously with fallen leaves. Since then, it’s been a waiting game. I waited for the tops to grow, for the scapes to curl and, finally, for the tops to brown. Now is the time to harvest this amazing plant that’s been growing for months. Garlic is in the same genus as the onion and the shallot. They’re all layered and interesting, not to mention filled to the brim with pungency. Yet garlic may be the most notorious for its fragrant (and tasty) punch. Used in a variety of cuisines, garlic is an ancient vegetable referenced as early as 2000 B.C. by historians like Pliny the Elder. Garlic has tons of health benefits, as you may have heard. From treating colds to Storing and using garlic Pull garlic from the earth when the tops are mostly brown and a few green leaves remain up top (I was a little late this year). Store in a cool, dry place for 2 weeks to cure; bulbs are ready when skin is flaky and dry.

lowering cholesterol, garlic is used for just about everything. But mostly, it’s tasty. You can (and should) add it to marinades, sauces, stir-fries and so much more. I’ve even had garlic ice cream from the famous garlic-themed restaurant The Stinking Rose, in San Francisco. While I’ll stay away from the ice cream (I’ll take mint chocolate chip, please), I do love garlic in so many of my meals. The only issue is prepping it! From peeling to chopping, using raw garlic can be such a pain. Enjoy my tips and instructions below for making homegrown garlic usable in your kitchen for months to come.

I recently completed a clean eating challenge through my gym, which meant taking a month off from drinking wine. The month is over and I have been able to add some things back into my life — including wine! However, I have been having some issues with sugar, which got me thinking: How much sugar is in wine? What kinds of wine have less sugar than others? Because the sugar in wine isn’t “processed” as it is in juice or candy, I have been able to drink it, in moderation, without any issues. But going forward, I wanted to know which wines to choose over others (red versus white and which varietals) for my own knowledge. I first consulted the website IQuitSugar. com, which included some tips about which alcohols can be consumed (in moderation) on a “no sugar” diet (as in a no-processed-sugar diet). The recommended alcohols were beer, which contains maltose, not fructose, so it is easier to metabolize; spirits, like gin, vodka and whiskey; and wine, which contains small amounts of fructose. Sparkling wine and dessert wine should be avoided because they contain a higher amount of fructose (though this depends on the wine, as extra brut is drier). The fructose in wine is what ferments into alcohol. Dry wines and red wines have the lowest amounts of sugar. According to a Washington Post article from April 2014 that looked at lower-sugar wines, the best white choices are sauvignon blanc, Italian pinot grigio, viognier and chardonnay; drier wines will have less sugar. For reds, the best choices are cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, pinot noir and syrah. If you like sparkling wine, go for a drier style like a brut versus a spumante. Obviously, if a wine tastes sweet, there is more sugar in it. If you do not enjoy drier wines, one way to cut the amount of sugar is by enjoying a wine spritzer instead. Mixing the wine with some seltzer will help dilute the wine but still give a little bit of flavor. Also keep in mind that the recommended amount of wine is about five ounces. So if you really like sweet wine, just enjoy a small amount rather than a large glass. Cheaper wines tend to have more residual sugar and can also contain other unknown ingredients as they are mass produced. Higher-quality wines, and in some cases slightly higher-priced wines ($15-$20), are better choices. Overall, dry red wine drinkers will have an easier time avoiding sugar in wine because dry wines are naturally made to contain less. My go-to wines here would be Italian reds, which are great on their own but also pair really well with food.

This British art-rock critic’s-darling has been building a head of steam over the course of several albums now, culminating with 2014’s Present Tense, which threw Animal Collective, krautrock, Radiohead and Roxy Music into a blender for maximum snowy indie-chill effect. There was a sort of Seal-ness to it also, not that it was a giant pile of easy-listening melody, but singer Hayden Thorpe channeled Brian Ferry and Thom Yorke with equal enthusiasm, always aiming for dramatic effect. For that matter, he’s now also emulating Yorke’s full-of-it jawboning, for instance referring to the guitar-centricity of this new LP in terms of phallic symbolism — come on, it’s just rawk, dude. Thing is, there’s not all that much guitar on Boy King, but there’s plenty of Moby-inflected downtempo stillness and soul-tech, like Chromeo trying to come up with a sequel to OK Computer. This may be just what the doctor ordered in your world, so I’ll simply wrap this up with an adamant “meh.” B— Eric W. Saeger STWO, D.T.S.N.T. (Huh What & Where Records)
For your hit-or-miss pleasure, we have this French producer, who’s made beats for Drake (“Haunted,” from the Views album being one) and a ton of others, out to make a name for himself as a song craftsman. Toward this he’s thrown together a who’s-who of similarly rising cronies to help him out and has been maybe a little too generous in the process, creating a resumé rather than a coherent collection, perhaps on purpose. Here’s what I mean: the guy is trying to get past the thousandseat threshold, which would definitely require a lot of syrupy preteen-anthems, and I can dig all that, but why bother putting muffled gloom-boppers Badbadnotgood on the same track as Rihanna wannabe Shay Lia unless you’re trying to guarantee that your next borough bash is going to be so hip that even Iggy would feel like a loser? “Far From Home” tries to make its backward-masked synth-gloop something more important than the alien transmissions from Jodie Foster’s Contact movie, but, well, eh, it’s a beat, maybe write it off as an intro to “Haunted,” but no, even that song, “helped out” by Bjork-ish Iranian Sevdaliza’s half-asleep lollygagging, is just canned afterparty fare. More shiny objects please! B — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases
• As of just now, when famous acting fraud Kiefer Sutherland isn’t getting facelifts or getting ignored at A-list retaurants, he’s singing or something, in a band! Billboard has some sycophantic blatherings on his debut album Down in a Hole. You should see this interview, where he makes like he was songwritin’ and songwritin’, till his ASCAP was sore, and then some artist friend of his was all in his face, like “Come on Kiefer, let’s make a record, because girls like people who make records, and then we can live the rock ’n’ roll rebel life by getting kegs of expensive Champagne and ordering filet mignons and tripping a waiter, it’ll be rad.” So there you go, let’s go see what this giant ego has done to music, and if he sounds like Jack Bauer when he sings about beatin’ up terrorists or whatever this moronic nonsense is going to be. Wait, this is country music, the single “Not Enough Whiskey” is sort of like Merle Haggard, because Kiefer actually met Merle, did you know, and it’s like blues-country, and Kiefer sounds like Elvis Costello doing a Merle Haggard imitation. Get me off this YouTube before I hurl everywhere, I’m serious. • Nashville two-man garage-pop act JEFF the Brotherhood haven’t been terrible in the past, this achieved by their being comprised of only two guys, in other words fewer guys around to mess up good songs. Zone, their 10th album, features the single “Punishment,” a mid-tempo slog that has some smashy drums, a Joe Jackson vocal line, some noise and some Flaming Lips shtick. I don’t like it but I don’t hate it. Does this make me an insufferable crab? Discuss that amongst yourselves while I go see why I should give “Chris Staples” any press whatsoever. • Oh I see, Chris Staples is one of those hooty-voiced indie guys who hasn’t figured out that Grizzly Bear hasn’t been important since 2010. Golden Age is his new album, featuring the single “Relatively Permanent,” a lilting, boring ditty that Sufjan Stevens would pretend to like and then turn to his girlfriend and fake putting his finger down his throat. It is boring. It is not my job to convince you this boring song is cool, nor can I prevent you from thinking such a wacky thing, so I shall stay neutral with regard to its suckage. • Downtempo-indie-folk duo Slow Club are from England, which automatically makes them want to be from the southern United States, like when magpies find shiny objects. One Day All Of This Won’t Matter Anymore, their new LP, includes the single “Ancient Rolling Sea,” which will sound astonishingly original to you if you’ve never heard any radio-folk-pop that was made before 2015. It’s like Guster, is what I mean. Do you like Guster? I (barf) have no (hurl) opinion of them myself, and am indeed (blap) totally neutral. — Eric W. Saeger

Concord TV campers’ video projects go up on screen at Red River Theatres Aug. 24. Josh Hardy photo.
By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
The first Youth Video Camp Film Festival at Red River Theatres will showcase projects by Concord TV campers, ages 8 to 14, with topics ranging from film noir and silent movies to talk shows and commercials featuring fake products like time-freezing remote controls and invisibility spray. “Everything we show at the film festival will be content kids created on their own. We provided the training and the resources — the video equipment, the green screen — but they came up with the ideas themselves. They’re the ones doing the storytelling,” said Josh Hardy, Concord TV training/production coordinator, via phone. At the time of his interview, Hardy and the rest of the Concord TV staff were working to make sure every one of the 70-plus campers who participated would be featured in the screening in some way or another. Concord TV has hosted camps since 2009, but this summer there was more interest than Hardy had ever seen before. All programs saw maximum capacity, 12 kids per session. “That has never happened before,” Hardy said. “Since I started doing the camps in 2013, we’ve seen an uptick, gradually, in how many kids [attend] the camp. You have more and more kids who want to learn how to make videos, whether it’s for their YouTube channels or for live streaming webcasts.” Concord TV Executive Director Doris Ballard came up with the concept of the festival months ago. There were two goals in mind — one was to showcase the kids’ work. “We had all this really cool content from local area kids. We do air [the videos] on our channels … But we thought, how cool would it be to showcase their work [in a festival] and for kids to see the value of what they were doing?” Hardy said. “This is a unique camp experience. It’s different from a soccer camp, or one of those other types of camps. The kids
are creating tangible products. … They love … being able to use the camera. They love being given assignments, meeting the challenge and then being able to watch it.” Response has been extremely positive, Hardy said, among both kids and parents. “I think a lot of the parents were even more excited than the kids,” Hardy said. “You send your kid off to soccer camp, and maybe you watch them play and get better, and there’s certainly value to that. But in this case, they’re making their own videos, which will be shown in a professional setting. Parents were blown away we were doing that.” The other goal, he said, was to demonstrate the value of Concord TV. “We want this to be a reminder to the community that Concord TV offers resources year-round, and not just for kids. We have classes for adults in studio training, and we have studio space where people can produce their own content,” Hardy said. The children made the videos in groups of three or four, sharing acting and shooting jobs. The beginner campers learned the basics, while the more advanced focused on narrative — telling stories through music videos and films. They looked at conflict, plot, character and structure, and they learned what directors, producers, actors and writers all do in Hollywood and indie films. This knowledge is helpful in filmmaking and, Hardy said, useful in everyday life. “We wanted these kids to learn to communicate and tell stories. This will potentially make them better writers, better verbal communicators and teach them teamwork,” Hardy said. Concord TV Youth Video Camp Film Festival Where: Red River Theatres, 11 S.

POP CULTURE BOOKS
Notes from Old Lyme: Life on the Marsh and Other Essays, by Sydney M. Williams (Bauhan Publishing, 183 pages) The modern-day consumption of nature comes with the Thoreauvian impulse to capture the wild and confine it to paper. Wall Street stockbroker Sydney M. Williams, a Peterborough native, succumbs to this urge in Notes from Old Lyme, a collection of essays about his comfortable retirement in a sweeping old home at the mouth of the Connecticut River, with occasional departures of homage to New Hampshire. It’s an eclectic assortment, unfortunately ordered and uneven in eloquence, that occasionally totters around the fringed edge of the vanity press. That said, to quote Longfellow, when it is good, it is very, very good. While occasionally torpid, it’s never horrid. And now and then, there is the unexpected gift of a memorable phrase. To begin, Williams explains how, for the past 15 years, “a variety of essays have appeared like magic on my computer at home.” “For lack of imagination” he names them “Notes from Old Lyme,” the Connecticut town where he and his wife, Caroline, lived for 25 years, doing the sorts of things that Wall Street stockbrokers and their beautiful wives do. This would include golfing (“An Afternoon on the Golf Course,” July 24, 2003), rowing (“An Early Morning Row,” Sept. 28, 2003), and skiing in Vail (“Skiing in Vail,” Dec. 24, 2003) with the occasional trips to Vienna. He also has a “relatively small” library of about 4,000 books — but not to worry, they are not all in the house; some are in his New York apartment. At this point, the collection begins to alarmingly resemble the pre-island reflections of Thurston Howell III, but mercifully there is no “Late Afternoon Polo” or “An Evening of Bon Yachts” and Williams eventually settles into everyman reflections on Connecticut, Mount Washington, laughter, a good marriage and electronic books, from the vantage of his marsh-side home. The marsh, he says, is reminiscent of New York’s Lower East Side a century ago: “immigrants speaking multiple languages, practicing their own special religions, exhibiting their own customs, and wearing the clothes of their native lands.” “Nature, defined as the material world existing without man, is neither tranquil
nor peaceful. The sounds from the marsh, especially in the evening and early morning, can be discordant — eerie and beautiful at the same time, like an orchestra warming up. One life depends upon taking another.” Lovely enough, as is Williams’ meditation on Hurricane Irene — “Storms such as Irene cannot be harnessed; we cannot alter their direction; a single storm possesses more energy than man has been able to muster since he exited the cave” — and an interesting reflection on why there were no drowned frogs in his swimming pool in May 2015. “Thirty-One Hours on Mount Washington” is an excellent telling of two similar hikes taken 34 years apart, father and son: “Indians native to the state knew Mount Washington as Agiocochook, home of the Great Spirit. As we pull out of the parking lot, taking a last look toward its cloudcovered peak, the name seems fitting. We view the mountain with respect. It draws hikers as a magnet does metal shavings. We, too, will climb it again.” Points subtracted, however, for writing, in all seriousness, the clichéd line “Freedom is not free” (twice), for calling Thomas Jefferson exacerbated when he was exasperated, and for beginning a chapter on the Fourth of July with a stanza of “God Bless the USA.” Beyond a surfeit of clichés, the book’s greatest failing is in its organization, which wanted chronology but was afflicted with generalized groupings: “The Great Outdoors,” “The World At Large,” “Books and Other Interests” and “Family and Friends.” This construct has us skiing in Vail before 9/11, even though the trip took place two years after the Towers fell. Elsewhere, consecutive essays jump from 2007 to 2009 to 2006, for no apparent good reason, and the effect is like picking up someone’s journal and randomly flipping from front to back to middle, with no sense of continuity or arc of personal growth. The reader is perpetually displaced. For a numbers guy, Williams knows his way around a dictionary better than most, and he has the heart of Thoreau, if not his Spartan ways. This book wanted to be better than it is; it beseeches as much from its best passages, but its aspirations ultimately lack wings. As they say in parts of Maine, magic always comes with a price.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
Florence Foster Jenkins (PG-13)
A woman renowned for her terrible singing and her arts patronage gives a concert at Carnegie Hall in Florence Foster Jenkins, a slightly sweet, slightly soggy oatmeal-like based-on-a-true-story movie that kicks back and lets Meryl Streep do the work.
Florence Foster Jenkins (Streep) is a great supporter of the arts in 1940s New York who not only gives her money but also sometimes foists her talent upon other music lovers. Sometimes she creates tableau, with herself as the lead Valkyrie, for example, in a tableau set to Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries.” (Odd choice for 1944 America.) Sometimes, she offers a singing performance, with her longtime husband, St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), filling the audience with friends and friendly critics (made all the friendlier by a little money slipped to them). Actually, as we see in the movie’s opening scenes, Bayfield’s “husband” position is somewhat non-traditional for a 1940s tiara-wearing New York lady of means. Jenkins married young and contracted syphilis from her first husband. The disease has left her increasingly weak and shut down sexual contact between Florence and St. Clair, who leaves her apartment every night to head to his own, more modest apartment where he lives with Kathleen (Rebecca Ferguson), his girlfriend. What Florence knows, or allows herself to know, about this situation we’re never really sure. Nor are we certain how much she knows about her own limited vocal abilities. When she hears a noted conductor is around, she hires him to tutor her, accompanied by young pianist Comsé McMoon (Simon Helberg). The conductor, who likes her money just fine, never says what he really thinks of her voice. And McMoon, who also enjoys making a steady living, follows St. Clair’s lead in smiling and playing when he’s expected to do so, no matter how much he giggles in the elevator later. Despite fading health and slightly more public notoriety due to the release of a record, Florence plunges ahead and decides to play Carnegie Hall. What is this movie trying to say about Florence? There is a scene, late in the film, where Streep lets Florence drop the 1940s-movie older-woman-clucking-hen bit and suggests a woman who has been both buoyed and disappointed by the things she loves most in her life — music, public performance and St. Clair. Visiting McMoon, she puts just enough of a spin on the way she says “golfing trips,” the official reason St. Clair is away, that we know she knows, to some extent, that he’s HIPPO | AUGUST 18 - 24, 2016 | PAGE 62
Florence Foster Jenkins
not golfing alone. Then she explains and demonstrates the degree to which she once excelled at piano. But now, due to nerve damage (perhaps caused by the syphilis, though the movie doesn’t state it directly), she can’t really play with one hand. She plays a simple, lovely piece with McMoon providing the left hand she can’t use and the scene taken as a whole gets to a more savvy, wistful but real person. There is something very understandable, admirable even, about a person who loves music, loves making music and doesn’t, to quote Sesame Street, worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear. Most of the movie, however, treats Florence more like an adorable old lady Muppet than a real human person. A person whose love for making music and making music in front of a crowd is greater than her qualms about her lack of ability is interesting. A cutesy person in crazy outfits who can buy applause is sort of a nutjob, and far less interesting. I’m not sure where the movie comes down on Florence — or on St. Clair. Is he a genuinely loving husband? An enabler who sticks around because, a failed actor himself, he enjoys the proximity to high art? As with Florence, it isn’t until after the movie’s halfway point that we start to get a sense of a more complex person in St. Clair. Something tells me that the one-woman show of Meryl Streep telling stories as Florence Foster Jenkins would be far more entertaining than this fully fleshed out affair and that suggests that this movie is just a Streep performance surrounded by a lot of lesser elements. And it’s a perfectly fine, middle-of-the-road, better-than-most-people but only OK for Streep performance. But I think the movie needed to do more to provide a layered look at the woman and a more engrossing story for movie-going fans of Streep. BRated PG-13 for brief suggestive material. Directed by Stephen Frears and written by
Nicholas Martin, Florence Foster Jenkins is an hour and 50 minutes long and distributed by Paramount Pictures.
Pete’s Dragon (PG)
A boy left to fend for himself in the woods befriends a big green dragon in Pete’s Dragon, a gentle movie that could have used a bit of energy and a little editing.
Pete (Oakes Fegley) has been living in the woods for some six years, having wandered away from the highway after his parents are killed in a very PGily filmed car crash. On his first night wandering through the tall trees, he was nearly pounced on by wolves. But they ran off when something bigger and pouncier came into view — a big green dragon who a little bit resembles a fuzzy green longnecked puppy with wings. Pete calls him Elliot, after a dog in the storybook he’s carrying. Elliot and Pete spend their days playing together, running through the trees and scaring apex predators. It is in this happily feral state that Pete runs into Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), a park ranger. She’s out scouting the woods, it appears, for protected animals, making sure that a lumber company doesn’t cut trees where it’s not supposed to. Complicating that slightly is that the lumber company belongs to Jack (Wes Bentley), Grace’s fiance, and Jack’s ornery brother (for no reason other than that the movie requires it) Gavin (Karl Urban). Grace is looking at owls and trees and Pete looks at Grace, even slipping into her backpack to grab her compass. He later spies Natalie (Oona Laurence), the similarly-aged-to-Pete daughter of Jack. Pete and Natalie climb a tree together but then the adults get involved and Pete winds up in the hospital. Reintroduced to the human world, the first thing Pete tries to do is escape, howling like a wolf with its paw
in a trap when Grace finally catches up with him. She takes him home while they figure out who he is and call in child services. Pete draws a picture of Elliot, whom Natalie takes for his imaginary friend. But Grace has seen that picture before — it is not unlike the dragon her father, Meacham (Robert Redford), claimed to see years earlier. Especially after Gavin shows up with wild stories of a big green something out in the woods, Grace starts to wonder if her father’s tall tales, which she’d always waved off as make-believe, have some truth to them. Pete’s Dragon, a remake of a 1977 Disney movie (which, full disclosure, I haven’t seen), has a very late 1970s, early 1980s feel to it. There is something very E.T. about the way Pete adjusts to the human world. It also has some of that era’s more relaxed pacing — perhaps a little too relaxed. This movie with the gentle Pete and the even gentler Elliot and the motherly Grace and the grandfatherly Meacham is all coziness and warm hugs, which actually makes it harder to highlight the wonder when it comes time to remind us that the puppy-like Elliot is actually a magical creature. It also adds to the drowsiness of this movie, which seems to be all soft corners. Even Gavin, the character who actively hunts the dragon, isn’t really a villain. He doesn’t even have an arc that takes him from bad guy to good guy; he’s just a guy who hunts a dragon until he doesn’t. But at least he has something to do, character-wise. Bentley’s Jack is a tissue-thin character whose only real purpose is to be the father of Natalie (though what happened to Natalie’s mother in this tale of broken families that come together is never mentioned). Add this “everybody is good-ish” to the “meandering along” quality of the pacing and you have a movie that feels like it needs to be woken up a bit. It has the sweetness and high quality of a fancy piece of chocolate but rarely do we get a note of tartness or color that keeps the movie from melting into a puddle of kindness. Strangely, it’s the non-human character of Elliot that provides some of the most human notes. Because the character communicates non-verbally, a lot of subtle emotive work has to be done with his big puppy face. And the dragon is rendered nicely. His ability to turn mostly invisible is done with a deftness that allows the dragon to be more camouflaged than completely gone. The result actually gives what I assume is entirely a CGI creation the appearance of mass. There aren’t nearly enough gentle and kind movies, even in the kids-movies genre, so it seems unfair to ding one for too much old-fashioned sweetness. Pete’s Dragon, a solid movie for families with
Not for kids. NOT for kids. Not For Kids. I can not say it enough. Frank (voice of Seth Rogen), a hot-dogsausage-something, can’t wait for the day when he and Brenda (Kristen Wiig), the shapely hot dog bun who is on the shelf next to him, can be together. Hot dog, bun, perhaps you understand what “together” would look like — I said this movie is not for kids, right? They are particularly excited because “red, white and blue” day is coming and all hot dogs and buns get purchased then. Purchased and then taken, by the gods (i.e. humans) to the “Great Beyond” (whatever it is that exists outside the store). The food of Shopwell’s thinks that whatever must be pretty great and gets ecstatic when it’s picked and put in a cart. Even Barry (Michael Cera), a strangely short hot dog packed right next to Frank, will likely get put in a bun on red, white and blue day. Both packages are indeed picked by the same woman and are delighted to be in her cart, waiting for purchase and the glorious life that awaits them. Also sharing the cart is the loudmouthed Douche (Nick Kroll), who in every way lives up to his name, and, to his horror, is among the foods thrown from the cart when a deranged jar, Honey Mustard (Danny McBride), throws himself from the cart. You see, Honey Mustard knows some things. He’s been to the Great Beyond and was returned because the person meant to buy regular mustard. He knows what truly awaits the purchased food and he refuses to go back there. His jump sets off a series of events that leads to a battle-field like scene of smashed and crushed food everywhere. Frank and Brenda make it out OK, but they’re out of their packages and far from their aisles. And they’re being chased by Douche, who will never, a-hem, fulfill his life’s purpose now that his nozzle has been bent and is out for revenge. Along the way back to their aisle, Frank and Brenda meet up with the bickering Lavash (David Krumholtz) and Sammy, a bagel (Ed Norton), and a taco named Tere-

A hot dog and the bun he loves must travel through the supermarket to find their way to the Great Beyond in Sausage Party, a thoroughly strange, definitely not for kids cartoon about the religious system of foodstuffs.

sa (Salma Hayek), who quickly becomes enamored with Brenda. Frank has a run-in with a group of non-perishables, including Firewater (Bill Hader, doing what sounded a lot like Johnny Depp’s Tonto from The Lone Ranger) and Mr. Grits (Craig Robinson), who let him in on the secrets of Shopwell’s. Meanwhile, outside, Barry and fellow hot dog Carl (Jonah Hill) learn first-hand what happens when food goes to the Great Beyond (i.e. the kitchen) with the gods (i.e. hungry humans). This movie completely baffled me. I mean, I get it, I think. I laughed a few times. Some of the food-as-translatedinto-ethnic-stereotype was funny, or at least funny-ish, I guess. And, yes, the Seth Rogen-movie blend of a steady soaking of profanity and giggling high school-ish sex jokes is right where it usually is. Also funny were the items whose personalities were related to a double meaning for their names, best illustrated by the Douche (but also the child-like baby carrots). There are elements of “food life” that are clever — the store manager called the Dark Lord (voiced by Paul Rudd) because he has the power to throw away foods that are not fresh. There is the idea of a food religion and of Frank and Brenda angering the gods because they each wiggled a hand outside of their package and touched, briefly. There is the visual strangeness of the foods’ hands and feet — many hands are that sort of Mickey Mouse-like white gloves and the feet often include high heels, of course, for the lady foods. This world is well-crafted, it’s not just talking food. There are layers to the talking food universe (and when humans can and can’t see the strange little faces on their pizza or tequila). But for some reason, this movie never really clicked for me. It felt like the comedy equivalent of the sound and the picture being just a second off. I could see the comedy and see the visual style but it never pulled together. For me. So maybe in the same way this movie is, let me say again, Not For Children of Any Age, it is also not for me. It’s the movie cilantro and I am genetically incapable of tasting anything but soap. Is it total garbage? Is it genius? Is it somewhere in the middle? (It’s not genius, I don’t care what my cilantro-tasting abilities are.) I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and points for more interesting world-building than, say, The Secret Life of Pets and say C+. Rated R for strong, crude, sexual content, pervasive language and drug use. Directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon with a screenplay by Kyle Hunter & Ariel Shaffir & Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg with a story by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg & John Hill, Sausage Party is an hour and 29 minutes long and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

Gather Rounders play a pair of area shows By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
More than any other, bluegrass is collaborative music. Solo players really don’t exist. There are a few foot-stomping banjo pickers, but a lot of them are scouting for a fiddler. Most players are either in a band or looking to start one. A community of players grows steadily around festival campfires, music workshops and open-mike nights. Case in point is the aptly named Gather Rounders. The acoustic quintet formed two years ago from a Sunday bluegrass brunch hosted by Ron and Wendy Cody at Gather, a farm-to-table restaurant in Maine. Such song circles are staples of the genre; performers drop in, share tunes and size up potential alliances. The Down East scene is particularly rich. “We are so fortunate to have so many great musicians,” Wendy Cody said in a recent phone interview. “It’s a nice place to live, so it draws people for that reason. ... There are some great venues that have been established over the years, so that really helps too.” The members of the Gather Rounders — Ron Cody on banjo, Wendy Cody playing upright bass, guitarist Lincoln Meyers and fiddler player Eric Lee — coalesced around the weekly event. “People would gather round,” Cody said. “It’s kind of corny, but it kind of works.” In November 2015, Caroline Cotter joined the Gather Rounders on vocals and guitar. The Gather Rounders When: Thursday, Aug. 25, 8 p.m. Where: Riverwalk Cafe, 35 Railroad Square, Nashua Tickets: $5; see riverwalknashua.com Also appearing Friday, Sept. 9, 8 p.m. at Amoskeag Studio, 250 Commercial St., Manchester, amoskeagstudio.com

Cotter is an established singer-songwriter, and her addition marked a shift that can be heard on the just-released EP The Gather Rounders Live in the Studio. “The new EP is exciting because it is almost all original,” Cody said. “Ron writes instrumentals and she writes songs and lyrics. ... it’s nice when it’s coming together.” The five-track disc includes a new Cotter original called “Found” and the oft-covered standard, “Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor.” Finally, three songs from Cotter’s back catalog are given a fresh reading. Disc opener “Back on the Train” is transformed from the spare, solo guitar original. The band wraps the travelogue song in bluegrass, and it becomes a buoyant ride in the countryside. Another fitting addition is “My Evergreen,” which first appeared on Cotter’s 2015 solo album, Dreaming As I Do. In the liner notes for that record, Cotter called it “a love song from the Pine Tree State, where comfort is found during the cold winters on the Maine coast.” Both songs sound like they were born waiting to become these lush arrangements. Cody found bluegrass in college, as an offshoot of attending Grateful Dead shows.

Soon she was going to folk festivals and contemplating playing herself. “There is a lot of crossover between folk and bluegrass vernacular music,” she said. “Through festivals and music camps ... it becomes this great little small family of likeminded people that enjoy making music with acoustic instruments.” She plays a 1938 Kay upright bass nicknamed Olive, and counts her influences from across the musical spectrum. “Edgar Meyer, an amazing classical as well as vernacular bassist, and I really like Missy Raine, because there aren’t that many female bassists,” Cody said. “When you find one and you like her style and sound, it’s kind of fun.” The Gather Rounders are frequently played on NHPR’s Folk Show, where the New England bluegrass scene is on regular display. It’s demanding music, but Cody and her mates are content, and nurtured by fellow enthusiasts. “It gets in your blood when you get to know everyone and you all start jamming and playing together,” she said. “You start to see it’s a really small world with acoustic music. When you’re really into it, you just don’t want to go anywhere else — it’s home.”

In Spiritualism there is no dogma or creed, but we use this Declaration of Principles to explain what we are aspiring to spiritually, and what the underlying beliefs are that Spiritualists share.
• We believe in Infinite Intelligence • We believe that the phenomena of nature, both physical and spiritual, are the expression of Infinite Intelligence. • We believe that a correct understanding of such expression and living in accordance therewith, constitute true religion. • We affirm that the existence and personal identity of the individual continue after the change called death. • We affirm that communication with the so-called dead is a fact, scientifically proven by the phenomenon of Spiritualism. • We believe that the highest morality is contained in the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” • We affirm the moral responsibility of individuals and that we make our own happiness or unhappiness as we obey or disobey Nature’s physical and spiritual laws. • We affirm that the doorway to reformation is never closed against any soul here or hereafter. • We affirm that the precepts of Prophecy and Healing are Divine attributes proven through Mediumship

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Designer leather
Feed the Beast
The late fashion designer Alexander McQueen (who dabbled in macabre collections himself), might appreciate the work of acolyte Tina Gorjanc: She will grow McQueen’s skin (from DNA off his hair) in a lab, add back his tattoos, and from that make leather handbags and jackets. Gorjanc, a recent graduate of McQueen’s fashion school alma mater, bills the project mainly as showcasing the meager legal protections for abandoned bits of human DNA and fears industrial use of such DNA on a much larger scale.
Compelling explanations
In June, Dieter Uchtdorf, a high official in the Mormon Church, said the historic narrative of Mormon founder Joseph Smith’s use of a “seer stone” to translate the “golden plates” that gave Smith ultimate worldly knowledge has been authenticated, basically, by the 2007 invention of the iPhone. “I can get the collected knowledge of the world through a few little inputs,” said Uchtdorf, and thus it is likelier than ever that God gave Smith something like a smartphone in 1823.

• Friendly Bacteria: Plastics are wellknown to decompose slowly, but the most difficult is the polyethylene used for containers such as the omnipresent water bottles, and despite recycling, tens of millions of metric tons wind up in landfills, where the plastic’s strong polymer bonds resist breakdown. Recently, however, two Japanese researchers, after tedious trial-and-error, identified a bacterium that views the polyethylene terephthalate as an efficient, tasty meal. A colleague of the two said further tweaking was necessary before using the bacteria industrially. • Room-Sized Bong? Samuel Oliphant, 35, was arrested on various charges in Scottsdale, Arizona, in June after police were called to a house to investigate a “strong and unusual” odor (which cops suspected to be drugs). Inside, they found a “laboratory,” necessitating use of their “hazmat protocols,” because Oliphant had allegedly built a “complex and elaborate” system apparently for the purpose of enhancing the smoking of marijuana.
Awesome!

Rapper Kasper Knight apparently shot himself in the cheek with a revolver on July 17 in Indianapolis as part of a staged music video according to raw footage of the incident posted on his Facebook page (and then of course seen by almost 2 million people). Knight, seen bleeding afterward, said he tried to recruit a shooter, but when no one volunteered, shot himself, anticipating (as in previous times he had been shot, by other people) “like a 4 out of 10 on the pain scale.”
The passing parade
(1) The Belton (Texas) Early Childhood (pre-kindergarten) School staged an “Enchanted Evening” prom in May and posted many photos on its Facebook page of little toddlers arrayed in tuxedos, gowns, corsages and of course, for some, limousines. (A Kansas City Star reporter suggested that this was just the beginning of an expensive parental trend.) (2) The village of Trecon was inducted recently into the club of French towns with silly names. “Tres con,” translated, is “very stupid.” Mayor Georges Leherle accepted the town’s membership, joining 38 incumbent members including “Mariol” (“Dumbass”).
Least competent criminals
Didn’t Quite Think It Through: The men who tried an armed carjacking at the Oasis car wash in Shreveport, Louisiana, on July 20 were sent running by the car owner Michael Davis, who was holding a high-pressure hose at the time and casually directed the stream to one potential thief’s face while swinging the metal wand at the other.
Recurring themes
Things That Have Happened Before: (1) An ambulance was called in July when jockey Chris Meehan was kicked in the face by a horse and knocked out cold after he fell during a race in Merano, Italy, but the arriving ambulance accidentally backed over his leg. He is recovering. (2) At England’s premier agricultural event (the Great Yorkshire Show), a winning show cow was stripped of her title, suspected of having artificially “enhanced” udders. The runner-up, of course, was promoted.

News of the Weird classic (September 2012)
“Pheromone parties” attract men and women seeking romance, based on the primal-scent signals emitted by each other’s slept-in T-shirts. Organizers have staged parties in New York City and L.A. and plan to expand, according to a June (2012) Associated Press report. The initial conclusion: People prefer partners with a somewhatdifferent genetic makeup than their own, but not too different. (Update: Pheromone parties were attracting attention as recently as 2014, but not much since then.) Visit weirduniverse.net.
