While I still support a rail line from Manchester to Boston, car automation may, in the not too distant future, largely solve that transportation problem. The issue with rail is that it’s very costly, adds significant infrastructure and takes a long time to be built. At this stage of advancement in self-driving cars, is investing all that time and money in a rail connection the best use of funds? Though completely self-driving cars — the likes of which Google and Uber are developing — are probably 20 years away, a rail connection from Manchester to Lowell is probably 10-plus years away from completion if the work on Interstate 93 is any indication. And given the gridlock in the New Hampshire legislature on this subject, a rail option seems out of reach. Just like in Silicon Valley, buses could bridge the gap with existing roads until automated cars are road-ready. So just how would automated cars solve commuting issues from southern New Hampshire to the Boston area? More cars could use the roads at once. Automated cars would be able to drive closer together and at higher speeds. Cars would be able to communicate with one another, allowing for the smoother entry and exit of cars from highways, and slowdowns could be communicated through larger areas, allowing the whole car ecosystem to adapt to lane closures, accidents and other road delays. More than that, people may change the way they use cars. Futurists have mused that people might call up automated cars to take them to work or out for a drink. Some of those cars could essentially be car pools with other commuters going to the same area. In New Hampshire it might be unrealistic to not own a car but families could go down to one car and in urban areas it wouldn’t be a surprise to see people forego owning a car, as many are already doing. So why do I still support a rail line into Boston? The rail lines already exist and having an additional transportation option would be a good thing for southern New Hampshire. And, most of all, fully automated cars may be 50 or 60 years away, not 20 years. Any rail discussion, however, should take into account driverless cars and how much infrastructure and resources should be shifted to rail.

NEWS & NOTES Gov debates
GOP candidates diverged over how to tackle the drug crisis during a televised debate, candidates for both parties have taken part in a number of forums and Democrat Mark Connolly said he will boycott an upcoming WMUR debate because of an ongoing labor dispute. During the GOP debate on NH1, state Sen. Jeanie Forrester and Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas took Executive Councilor Chris Sununu to task for comments he made in June that there has been no leadership at the state or local level to deal with the opioid crisis. Sununu stood by his statements. When asked if the candidates support minimum sentencing laws for possession of any amount of heroin, Forrester said that would be a good start but she would also treat fentanyl dealers as attempted murderers. Gatsas said he would make sure fentanyl dealers get charged for murder when their product causes a fatal overdose. Sununu and state Rep. Frank Edelblut said that while being strong against dealers is important, minimum sentences for just heroin possession alone is not something the state should be focusing on, since they said that could lead to incarcerating addicts who would be better served by drug court diversion and treatment. Candidates were also divided similarly when it came to decriminalizing marijuana. Forrester said she was against it because she believes marijuana is a “gateway drug,” and Gatsas said he would not decriminalize marijuana because of the fentanyl epidemic. But Edelblut and Sununu supported decriminalization, arguing it would prioritize law enforcement resources to deal with opioids. Meanwhile, NHPR recently hosted a forum with Democratic candidates Colin Van Ostern, Mark Connolly and Steve Marchand. Marchand told host Laura Knoy that he thought New Hampshire voters have moved further left than politicians on both sides are willing to admit, suggesting his chances of winning as a progressive candidate are good. Van Ostern highlighted his endorsements, some from organizations that endorsed Bernie Sanders. Another forum was held at Saint Anselm College that focused on the state’s young children, with six

Governor who?
Outcome of the most interesting, least watched race is anyone’s guess By Ryan Lessard

Proudly presenting our
2016 SUMMER SEASON
God of Carnage A comedy by Yasmina Reza
Aug 31 - Sept 11
In an oddball year for politics, the New Hampshire governor’s race could prove to be the most oddball contest in the state. On the Republican side, the top polling candidates include a member of a well-known family and the less well-known but better funded mayor of Manchester. On the Democratic side, the race may be all about a post-Bernie zeitgeist, name recognition and the fact that, for many voters, none of the candidates are all that well-known. And after next week’s primary (Sept. 13), the race will really get strange as the forces that may impact other down-ticket races — namely, the presidential battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump — might not matter to the gubernatorial election in the same way it does to, say, the US Senate race. The fact that the presidential and Senate races are overshadowing just about everything else is also making predictions difficult. “Any other year, this would be the marquee match-up. You got the open seat, multiple sort of well-qualified [candidates] … in both parties, but it just feels like this particular race, as interesting as it is, has been somewhat ignored because of the presidential race [and] the Kelly Ayotte reelection bid,” SNHU civic scholar Dean Spiliotes said.

One of the factors that makes this primary so unpredictable is that a large field of candidates is jockeying for the governorship in the wake of Gov. Maggie Hassan’s decision to vacate the office and run for U.S. Senate. But most of those candidates are not well-known by voters. According to an Aug. 30 poll by the University of New Hampshire, Democrats are particularly struggling to get recognized. The three most serious contenders are Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern, former Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchand and former securities chief Mark Connolly. When asked if likely voters in the general election viewed Cry Havoc the candidates favorably, neutrally or unfaA drama by Stephan Wolfert vorably, 73 percent said they didn’t know Aug 14 - Sept 18 enough about Marchand and Connolly to say. And 70 percent said they didn’t know enough about Van Ostern. Two other Democrats on the ballot, Ian Freeman of Keene and Derek Dextraze of Dover, were even less known, with 82 percent to 87 percent of respondents respectively saying they didn’t know enough about them. Meanwhile, on the Republican side, things aren’t much better for state Sen. Jeanie Forrester, state Rep. Frank Edelblut and Jon-
athan Lavoie of Hollis. Executive Councilor Chris Sununu enjoys the most recognition, unknown by only a third of likely voters. Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas is known to just over half of likely voters. But Spiliotes said one doesn’t need a poll to tell them that. “Gatsas and Sununu are way better known than any of the candidates on either side,” Spiliotes said. Gatsas’ name recognition can be attributed to his being a four-term mayor of the state’s largest city, but Sununu’s recognition is floated in large part by his family’s political dynasty. His father, John H. Sununu, was governor through most of the 1980s before becoming White House Chief of Staff under George H.W. Bush. His brother, John E. Sununu, was a U.S. senator from 2003 to 2009.
Dems on top?
UNH political science professor Dante Scala said as long as Donald Trump continues to trail Clinton in state polls, that gives all Democrats — who have controlled New Hampshire’s executive branch since 2005 — an advantage down ticket. But UNH pollster Andy Smith is less confident that Democrats have it in the bag, since the demographics of those who to actually show up to vote in a general election tend to look a lot more like Trump supporters and Clinton’s relative unpopularity might hurt Democratic turnout. Spiliotes believes in the powerful forces of the presidential race, but concedes those forces may not have as much sway in the gubernatorial race. “If there was any race where maybe you get a little bit of a different outcome, that might be it,” Spiliotes said. “But my experience has been if it’s a big win for the top of the ticket, that really hurts the other party all the way down the line.” This election year has been anything but predictable so far, and Smith said those same strange winds could tip the scales in this matchup. Besides name recognition, factors like a changing state Democratic party make this race even more unpredictable, but there are some clues that may help.
Favorability
If the UNH poll is any indication, Chris Sununu is coming out on top of the GOP primary in more ways than one. He has the highest favorability with 34 percent, followed closely by Gatsas with his 27 percent. Among Democrats, there’s no clear leader in this regard. Van Ostern has edged just barely to the top of the field with 15 percent favorability while Marchand is at 14 percent and
Connolly has 13 percent. But it’s the relative obscurity of the Democrats that’s keeping these figures low. Smith said a lot of people tend to vote their party in the general election so the apparent disparity between Republican and Democrat favorability can’t be used to suggest a Republican advantage after the primary. Sununu also came out on top between both parties when likely voters were asked who they would vote for in the primary. He won 23 percent, Gatsas came in second with 14 percent, followed by Van Ostern at 10 percent and Marchand and Forrester both at 5 percent. This means a lot of voters, especially Democrats, are still undecided. And Smith said primary poll numbers are notoriously unreliable for this reason. Voters tend to make their decision in the final days before a primary. The candidates will need to use the Sept. 6 WMUR debates (available to review at wmur.com) to stand out from their opponents and increase favorability, especially since the candidates have a great deal in common. “It will be the first time many people in the state will see these candidates,” Smith said. Viewers will likely be checking for less tangible cues like charm, strength, confidence, humor and a cool head.
Campaign strategies
Instead of looking at poll numbers, Smith recommends taking a look at how well the candidates’ campaigns are structured and how much they’re doing with their election ground game — things like knocking on doors, making phone calls, shaking hands, raising money and getting seen. While a lot of the information about this tends to be fairly anecdotal, fundraising figures are more solid indicators of campaign success. Gatsas is leading Republicans in the money game, with fundraising totaling $1,044,315 since he announced his bid on March 17. Of that, $75,000 is a personal loan but 83 percent of it is from New Hampshire donors, according to a campaign press release. Sununu raised slightly more than half as much as Gatsas, but he had the backing of outof-state high rollers like the Marriott brothers of Marriott International, who donated a combined $12,000, party elites like Karl Rove ($500), Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee Bill Weld ($250), large corporations like Pfizer ($5,000) and CEMEX ($7,000) and former five-term Manchester Mayor Ray Wieczorek ($500). Gatsas, meanwhile, was hoisted up by large individual donations by area businesspeople, auto dealerships, construction companies and
property developers. For example, inventor Dean Kamen, who moonlights as a developer, also gave $5,000 to the Gatsas campaign. Kamen’s real estate partner also gave $2,500, and two of his development companies donated a few thousand dollars as well. There’s less of a balance among the Democrats, where Van Ostern leads the pack with $1,078,279 raised by the filing deadline of Aug. 24. Connolly has raised about $452,000 and Marchand raised $101,799 (and spent $81,183). Spiliotes said Marchand might appeal to a segment on the left who want to abolish the death penalty and legalize marijuana, but he doesn’t have a significant organization. Connolly has a stronger organization, according to Spiliotes, and some key endorsements, but Van Ostern, who sits opposite Sununu at executive council meetings, is apparently positioning himself as the Democratic frontrunner.
Wild cards
As with all primaries in a purple state like New Hampshire, which has a sizeable portion of independent voters, candidates must strike a balance between appealing to their base and the general electorate. Sununu may have attained the moderate label by voting against, and then later for, a state contract with Planned Parenthood, but this earned him the ire of many conservatives in his base. While this may have hurt him in a primary race, which even he has conceded in the past, it may help him in a general election bid. Gatsas and Sununu have both come across as the more moderate candidates compared to Forrester and Edelblut. The latter two signed on to the Americans for Prosperity pledge, but Gatsas and Sununu declined because they said they didn’t think it was a good idea to repeal expanded Medicaid (which now insures close to 50,000 people) without something to replace it. But given their name recognition and relative favorability, that doesn’t seem to have hurt them so far. The greater variability is on the Democratic side. Consider, for example, if Marchand won the nomination. Smith said the traditionally moderate Democrat has rebranded himself as the most progressive choice, with a platform that favors legalizing pot and taxing it to generate new revenue. Such candidates haven’t had much luck historically at winning a general election, but analysts agree that the Democratic base has moved further left ideologically and point to Bernie Sanders’ win last February as evi-
dence of this. How far left is still unclear. Smith said Sanders also had high name recognition and a well-funded, well-organized campaign, most of which Marchand doesn’t appear to have. But if he managed to clinch the nomination, it would cast the general election in even more doubt. Many analysts expect this will be a Democratic year, by and large, but a somewhat moderate Republican nominee with high name recognition cast against a lesser-known guy on the left of the field might give the GOP the edge it needs to win. Even so, wresting the governorship from the Democratic party may prove difficult. “Democrats have had a virtual lock on that corner office now, dating back a good decade,” Scala said. “It’s an uphill climb even for a Sununu.” The shift to the left for Democrats can be seen in the rhetoric of most of the candidates, but not all go as far as Marchand. “Even though Van Ostern has courted progressives, he hasn’t crossed that line, that red line, in terms of an income or a sales tax,” Scala said. Neither has Marchand, who says he’s against such a tax, but he is the only candidate who hasn’t signed the no-newtax pledge, according to Marchand’s campaign spokesperson Grant Hallmark. Much has been DANTE SCALA made of the presidential race affecting state races down the ticket. Smith said it’s important to remember that both candidates are very unpopular and while Democratic party elites have seemed to unite behind Clinton more than Republican party elites have united behind Trump, that doesn’t mean the Democratic base is motivated to get out and vote for her. Smith said if Democratic turnout is low, that could even things out for the candidates down the ticket as well. “I think it’s gonna be pretty close regardless of who the nominees are,” Smith said. Another significant wild card Smith points to is the youth vote. Young people voted for Sanders in February and Obama in 2008, but there’s a strong chance they will fail to turn out for this primary or general election. Those who do generally vote in primaries are older and more conservative, so voters might pick a more conservative GOP candidate like Edelblut or Forrester and a more moderate Democrat like perhaps Van Ostern. “It is a crapshoot. I wouldn’t make any predictions of who’s going to win this primary,” Smith said.

A small group of people get together at café called Coffeeberries in Londonderry with a mission: to sit, drink coffee and discuss anything they want to discuss. Nothing about it seems unusual — except that these people don’t know each other. “I’m going to break our prime directive,” Reverend Ray Bonin of the Church of the Transfiguration in Derry says to get the discussion underway. Bonin and Rabbi Peter Levy of the Etz Hayim synagogue (located next to Bonin’s church on a plot of land the church sold to them) have organized this late August gathering. It’s their fifth meeting, and the “prime directive” Bonin is about to break is not to direct the conversation at the start. “There is something that’s on my mind because it has happened to me recently,” Bonin said. “My sister passed away recently and so that’s obviously on my mind. I was lucky enough to be there. So I would like to hear what you think or feel about death and dying and your own experience with that.” The concept is simple: come to the coffee shop and just chat with strangers. That’s the grand idea behind the regular gathering. Its founders hope people from the area will come and relearn the lost art of face-to-face conversation and discover a wider community they don’t know they have. Bonin went on to set a lighter tone by telling a story of when he was a pallbearer for his late brother. The hearse driver heard a strange noise coming from the coffin, so they removed the coffin from the hearse and opened it up to find a loose golf ball that had been rolling around. Apparently, his brother, an avid golfer and “a big practical joker,” received the golf ball and a scorecard with all birdies on it from someone during the wake. From that point on, Bonin and the other pallbearers couldn’t keep a straight face whenever they moved the coffin. For a short while, others in the meetup stayed on topic. An older woman quoted a joke about death she heard once, a young man with a Seattle Seahawks shirt and headphones around his neck shared some memories of his late grandmother, and a man with white hair, bushy mustache and suspenders expressed regrets that he argued with his father too much when he was alive. But from there, Levy said, folks starting talking about other things. “We try to keep it as organic as possible,” Levy said later in a phone interview. He said topics have included hometown changes, family, pets, personal fears, men-

tal health and aging. But another prime directive is to never proselytize or preach. “We don’t want this to be a backdoor sale,” Levy said. And politics are skirted around. “Someone made a political comment about one of the candidates and we put a stop to that because in this current situation unfortunately I think a lot of rhyme and reason has disappeared from the discourse,” Levy said. Levy said he hopes the meetups will help create connections, but mostly provide a forum for anonymous interpersonal communication. In some ways, it’s like an internet chat room but in real life, and Levy hopes it will serve as an antidote to the bad habits digital communication creates. “With a chat room or some kind of forum, you can’t see faces, you can’t see body language, you can’t really tell by the tone of their voice whether they’re being serious or snarky or sarcastic or attempting just to be humorous. All of that is lost,” Levy said. “If you talk to people in human resources now, so many young people come in looking for jobs and they have no ability to read a face, to read body language, to sense a tone of voice.” So far the groups have ranged in size from intimate groups fewer than 10 people to as many as 20, and Levy hopes more people will come and grow the group size even more. “All the people in your community are people. They’re not just strangers,” Levy said. “A Rabbi and Reverend Walk Into a Coffee Shop…” Where: Coffeeberries, 4 Orchard View Dr., Londonderry When: 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Upcoming Dates: Sept. 8 and 22, Oct. 13 and 27, Nov. 10, Dec. 8 and 22

The facilitator Londonderry town manager
For the past three years, Kevin Smith has been the town manager of Londonderry, where a lot of development projects are planned or underway.

A $1 million federal grant is coming to the state to help fund the expansion of access to medically assisted addiction treatment. NHPR reported the money is the latest step in an effort to provide drugs like suboxone, methadone and vivitrol to opioid addicts, which was among the key recommendations in a recent report by Governor’s Advisor on Addiction and Behavioral Health James Vara (a.k.a. the drug czar). In July, federal rules around subscribing suboxone were relaxed so physicians who could previously prescribe the drug for up to 100 patients can now prescribe it for up to 275 patients. That’s particularly helpful in states like New Hampshire, which has a dearth of providers certified to subscribe suboxone — only 143 in 2015, the fewest per capita in New England. New Hampshire is one of nearly a dozen states awarded the grant. QOL Score: +1 Comment: An additional $250,000 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was also awarded to help the state collect better overdose data.
Local dairy industry contracts
The state’s milk and cheese producers have been hit hard this past year, along with dairy farms across the Northeast. As the Hippo reported earlier this summer, Granite State dairy farmers are struggling to make ends meet due to a sharp drop in global dairy prices. The AP recently reported that 19 of the state’s 120 dairies have closed so far this year. That’s according to the state’s agriculture commissioner, who said that’s a lot when you consider only 10 dairies had closed down over the past four years combined. Farmers can apply for federal emergency relief connected with the drought disaster declaration and some state lawmakers plan on meeting in September to consider funding a state emergency relief fund for milk farmers. QOL Score: -1 Comment: Local farmers say the low prices are caused by an oversupply and a sudden loss of international demand from Russia and China. And industry consolidation among retailers and processors has kept the prices from fluctuating for consumers, leaving no economic clues to help producers shift gears sooner.
Goodbye summer
The last day of summer isn’t until Sept. 21, but in QOL’s mind it’s already over. Kids, teachers and New Hampshire school district staff are back in the classrooms, and near QOL’s house, the leaves have already begun to change colors. QOL score: -1 (because QOL is sad to see summer go) Comment: On the brighter side, as the temps cool down, you can warm yourself up with pumpkin beer, pumpkin-spiced lattes or hot apple cider.

They Don’t Make Furniture Like This Anymore
Hard to believe, but the Patriots are about to begin their 17th season under Coach B. A long time, to be sure, but he’s still got a ways to go to match Chuck Noll in Pittsburgh (21 years), Don Shula in Miami (26 years) and Tom Landry in Dallas (29), not to mention the 100 or so George Halas put in with da Bears. While it’s a testament to just how good he is, given his first try as a head man in Cleveland, the HC of the NYJs press conference and the 5-11 first year, raise your hand if you thought he’d still be HC of the NEPs in 2016. A small club, I suspect, which would not include me. Most seem to think the collateral damage from Deflate-gate that has Tom Brady suspended and untested Jimmy G at QB for a quarter of the season is the big story of the year. I think it’s seeing how the best coach of his era approaches having a new quarterback for the first time since Brady went down for the count in 2008. They didn’t make the playoffs, but recovered from that seismic shock to finish 11-5. And since that’s the same record as, ahem, AFC East champ Miami and dastardly wild card entry Baltimore, missing the playoffs was an aberration because it happened on something like the 23rd tie-breaker. Plus by winning their last four, three on the road while scoring 49 and 47 in two of them, they finished strong, as Matt Cassel, who’d never started a game in college let alone the NFL, finished with 27 TD passes and just 7 picks. The only other time he had a new QB was with the untested Brady after Drew Bledsoe went down in 2001. He first got a floundering 0-2 team to 5-5, then to 11-5 as they finished off an eight-game winning streak by winning their first of four Super Bowls. Thus in the sport where coaching matters most by a lot, I can’t understand why anyone doesn’t greet this as an oppor-

tunity to see what the mad scientist will do this time. Here’s a look at the story lines he’ll face in 2016: The QB Plan: This is football and important guys get hurt all the time. So they’re used to doing the “next man up” thing and have had a year to think about it. My guess is it’ll be similar to what happened with Cassel, which was a longer leash than Brady when he took over with virtually no experience. If you want to feel better about it, Pittsburgh went 3-1 with Charlie Batch when Ben Roethlisberger was suspended in 2010, so it’s nothing new. Plus he has a healthy Gronk and Julian Edelman to throw to. The Biggest Worry: No, it’s not Jimmy G, or four games without Brady. It’s the offensive line, where I haven’t seen one thing in pre-season to make me think what killed them last year has gotten any better. True, Dante Scarnecchia is back and that helps, but with Sebastian Vollmer gone already, right tackle goes to, gulp, Marcus Cannon, who gets beat, penalized and hurt a lot. Other than that I love the guy. There are injuries, unproven players like Shaq Mason and Tre Jackson and rookies at guard, while Nate Solder is coming off an uneven year before his major season-ending injury. So maybe it’s a good thing Garoppolo gets those early starts because his mobility may be needed as the line settles in. Feel Best About: This is the best defensive group since the heyday of Seymour, Bruschi and Vrabel. I like the Chris Long and Shea McClellin pick-up, who along with increased playing time for Jabaal Sheard and Trey Flowers will replace the up and down Chandler Jones. Dont’a Hightower and Jamie Collins are playmakers at linebacker and there’s solid depth on the defensive line and backfield. But after an uncharacteristically down year at it, they need to turn teams over more than in 2015. Step-Up Years: I see upticks from Malcom Brown, Sheard and Flowers. Though where it’s needed most is with Mason and
Jackson at guard. It’ll also be helpful if newcomer Barkevious Mingo can become closer in this system to the player Cleveland expected when they took him sixth overall in 2013. Injuries: With Vollmer, Dion Lewis missing and Danny Amendola not 100 percent there’s things to sort out on offense. On D, Rob Ninkovich’s PED suspension actually doesn’t really hurt, as those four weeks gives his torn bicep more time to heal. Depth: They’re deep everywhere but linebacker, a most necessary quality in this crazy, injury filled sport, with Ninkovich and Brady coming as re-enforcements in Week 5 and the PUP-ed Lewis at mid-year. Schedule: They got a break with three of the four Jimmy G era games in Foxboro. But there’s no December advantage as soft teams that melt in cold weather, like Miami and Houston, come to Foxboro in September, while the Ravens and Jets are used to East Coast December weather. Plus seeing Denver in December is better for Gary Kubiak as he searches for his new QB. The good news is a Nov. 7 bye is perfect timing for guys needing rest and rehabilitation. The Division: Miami – lost cheap shot artist Olivier Vernon and added Mario Williams. They have a talented QB searching for consistency and their billionth new coach since Shula. So they’re wait and see. Buffalo – a tough defense, but Rex kicked up the hot seat index to 8.3 after mouthing off all winter again. He’ll be gone by January. The J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets – I love their coach and aggressive D, which’ll have them in it till the end. But Ryan Fitzpatrick is the Chicago Cubs of QBs, because even if he throws 50 TD passes, he’ll selfdestruct at the worst time, like that end zone pick in the waning minutes of Week 17 when a TD sends them to the 2015 playoffs. Prediction: They go 3-1 with Jimmy G and 12-4 overall. Email dlong@hippopress.com.

ARTS All the glitz
NH premiere of Sister Act By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
For the season opener and New Hampshire premiere of Sister Act, Palace Theatre Artistic Director Carl Rajotte wanted to go all out, with glitzy costumes, intricate sets and Broadway star Antoinette Comer in the lead role. Rajotte said a lot of theater companies who take on the show cut some of the the details that made the 2011 Broadway hit such a spectacle, but Rajotte wanted to do it justice, particularly since the 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg is so popular. “Everyone has seen this movie. Everyone loves this movie,” Rajotte said during an interview at the theater the first week of rehearsals. “And the story is very true to the movie. The music is different — and there’s a lot more music than in the movie — but all the characters you love are there.” Sister Act features music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Glenn Slater and book by Bill and Cheri Steinkellner. It first hit the stage in 2006 at the Pasadena Playhouse in California and is about a lounge singer put under protective custody after witnessing a crime and making a mob boss’s hit list. She hides in the last place anyone would find her — a convent — but while she’s there, she helps turn their traditional church choir into a group of rock and roll gospel singers. See Sister Act Where: Palace Theatre, 80 Hanover St., Manchester When: Sept. 9 through Oct. 1 Admission: $25 to $45 Contact: 668-5588, palacetheatre.org

Rajotte went through hundreds of submissions before finding Comer, who caught his attention with her rendition of “Raise Your Voice.” “I had goosebumps. I knew something was there,” Rajotte said. “And she understood the humor in the role.” She also had a great resume; she comes to New Hampshire from the Broadway stage, where she performed in Mamma Mia! One of their mutual friends is Kaleigh Cronin, who trained at the Palace as a kid and performed with Comer in A Bronx Tale in New Jersey. “I think it’s great, now we have kids who are on Broadway. The circle is starting to
grow, giving the Palace Theatre a lot more connections, for sure,” Rajotte said. The production’s big, with 22 actors who were cast with emphasis on character. “I don’t want people going away saying, well, the movie girl was way better than this girl,” Rajotte said. But some of the heaviest lifting is being done by the production crew for this opener. Palace costume designer Jessica Moryl has been making nun costumes for weeks, and at the last count, there were about 48 different habit styles, from traditional to red and silver sequined, all made from scratch. For the sets, the theater hired fine and scenic artists — NHIA grad Victoria Mathews

and NHIA student Maraina Roskey — plus Hannah Joy Smith, who was managing the art projects. Two weeks before showtime, they’d finished painting the stone designs for the play’s church but were still working on faux stained glass pieces and a replica of “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci. “We’re putting a lot of work into building things from scratch in the hopes to start renting them to other theaters across the country. Sometimes you’re making things from scratch on a penny and you hope it lasts as long as the show lasts, but we’re trying to invest a bit more time and sweat into it,” Rajotte said. The Palace first partnered with NHIA last spring when students created a bumblebee mural on the brick wall behind the theater in an attempt to prevent graffiti. “We had a major problem of tagging and graffiti on that back wall. We were constantly just painting over it with red. So we thought, let’s create some art here and maybe that will steer people away from it — and it 100 percent has,” Rajotte said. Scenic painting is a little different from fine art — you’ve got to do it faster. But so far, Palace Technical Director Morgan Cerovski said the partnership has been going over well. “They know how to do it. They’re reliable,” Cerovski said. “And they love the opportunity to come over and use their education in a professional setting. What our ultimate goal is, is to provide work and different career opportunities for [NHIA] graduates, just to give them options for when they go into the real world. There’s a world of theater out there that requires talented people to do scenic paintings and mural paintings.”

When Brookline 7-year-old Kalina Melia was diagnosed with apraxia of speech at 15 months, her parents Lauren and Sean Melia knew very little about the motor speech disorder, which disrupts a person’s ability to speak clearly, or speak at all. But they learned about it in the years that followed, during thrice-a-week speech therapy and while advocating for their daughter, particularly when she went to school. They found they weren’t alone. “A lot of people don’t know what it is at first. They just think it’s a delay,” Lauren Melia said. “Cognitively, it doesn’t affect her. She reads at a third-grade level. She gets straight A’s.” Difficulty stems from the inability to connect speech messages from the brain to the mouth. Kalina always knew what was going on, but for years she felt afraid to speak up in class, to raise her hand or to make friends in school. She was bullied and needed adult facilitation during lessons and in friendships. But her parents did notice there was one thing she enjoyed doing — singing. She was always putting on shows at home while sporting fancy outfits and performing in their karaoke machine. So a year ago, they signed her up for singing lessons at North Main Music school. “We thought this would be a good way to help build her self-esteem and for her to advocate for herself,” Lauren Melia said. They were right. Kalina began working under Sibvon Rose last August, and the pair describe it as love at first lesson. The first songs they worked on were “Starlight” and “Teardrops on My Guitar.” Rose noticed the intensity with which the little girl focused. “This girl is so driven. She wants to do this so bad,” Rose said. “I could see something special about her immediately.” True, the apraxia made learning music more difficult. A lot of children with apraxia, Lauren Melia said, will drop sounds, especially at the end of words. Songs with complicated words took longer master.

But Kalina, who attends Richard Maghakian Memorial School in Brookline, was determined, practicing every day, inside and outside of lessons. Today, she’s not shy at all. Kalina has since sung at weddings, churches, Jack and Jill events and the Nashua Street Pianos opening ceremony, and she’s a regular performer with the music school’s cover band. On Sept. 17, she sings “Fight Song” at the New Hampshire Walk for Apraxia, now in its 7th year. “And I don’t even get nervous onstage,” Kalina said, giggling. During an interview at the music school with her mom and music teacher last week, Kalina talked about her favorite musicians — Taylor Swift (her first concert) and Meghan Trainor (whom she’ll see live for her birthday later this month) — and about her dream to someday be famous and inspire other kids with apraxia of speech to find their voices. She wore a black and white dress with a gemstone hair piece and was waiting for a loose tooth to come out. She sounded like any ordinary kid. “A lot of times, kids with apraxia can’t do what she can do,” Lauren Melia said. “When she sings, it’s emotional because we’re lucky she’s talking, never mind singing.” It’s caused her to become more confident outside the music school as well. “Even at school, they’ve noticed her advocating more for herself and seeking friends. … She’s having playdates and she’s going in [school] and talking about
what she’s doing in music,” Lauren Melia said. “When she’s here, they don’t treat her like she’s any different from any other kid.” Rose said she’s seen music touch other kids in ways like this. “Music touches a different part of your brain than normal therapy. … I’ve seen kids who were cripplingly shy turn into completely different children,” Rose said. “It was really cool to go through this with her.” All the effort it’s taken Kalina to learn to talk and sing has given her a strong work ethic. When she became ill and Rose told her to rest her voice, Kalina took it seriously and wrote down notes when she wanted to talk to her family. She’s currently working with Rose on a song she wrote called “Vacation Daze,” inspired by an Aruba trip. “Sibvon said to me one day, ‘Maybe if you write a song, we could work on it.’ So then I went home and started,” Kalina said. “I wrote the whole song in one night.” She said it’s more fun to practice when you have an end goal, which is why she likes singing in concerts and at public events. And she’s been quiet for so long it’s nice to celebrate her voice. Her family has been adamant about educating the local schools and communities about apraxia of speech and telling Kalina’s story, in the hopes it might help other families going through what they did. The young singer’s advice to other kids with apraxia of speech: “Once you fight for years, maybe one day you’ll get there,” she said.

Pirate and Princess Festival returns to Milford By Matt Ingersoll
mingersoll@hippopress.com
Watch your favorite fairy tales and storybooks come to life at the second annual Pirate and Princess Festival, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10. The free event will be held at the Milford Community House Lawn and will feature more than a dozen vendors, as well as fun pirate- and princess-themed games and family-friendly activities. Costumes are encouraged, and special costume accessories will be available at the festival for purchase. “Since it’s a free event, people can just visit and walk around if they want to, and we’ll be cooking hot dog and hamburgers and have pizza and snacks and drinks and that type of stuff,” said Melissa Hardy, treasurer of the High Hopes Foundation and an organizer of the festival. “Last year we kind of just threw it together as a way to see what kind of feedback we’d get from the community. We had more than 400 parents and children, so it was a great success.” All funds raised from vendor, food and raffle sales will benefit the High Hopes Foundation, a Nashua-based nonprofit charitable organization dediPirate and Princess Festival When: Saturday, Sept. 10, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Where: Milford Community House Lawn, 5 Union St., Milford Cost: Free admission (varying costs for food, accessories and raffles) Visit: highhopesfoundation.org

cated to improving the lives of children with serious or chronic illnesses. Hardy said this year’s festival is expected to be much larger because more people have reached out looking to volunteer or spread the word. “A lot of people may remember a balloon festival that we had in Milford for many years for High Hopes,” she said, “and that was one event where they got a majority of their funding. We haven’t had that event for some time, and so we’re trying to bring back a signature family event that we could put our name on.” New features for this year’s festival include a DJ playing music throughout the day. Kids will also get a chance to make their own costume accessories, like a pirate sword and ship, and a princess wand and tiara. Some of the vendors who will

bors Jacqueline Yinger and Dawn Cavanaugh started it as a community support initiative to send Jacqueline’s young daughter, a cancer patient at the time, to Disney World. “It’s a bit different from the MakeA-Wish Foundation in the sense that it’s not necessarily always children with [life-threatening] illnesses but also children with medical challenges in their day-to-day lives,” Hardy said. “We’ve granted more than 500 experiences to children. Some of the more recent ones were to raise money for dog training lessons for a boy with autism, once he found that being with a dog could help him go to school and be in public without the fear that he had socially. We also helped a girl who had cerebral palsy get horseback riding lessons to help her with her everyday life.”

There will be levels of prizes that will be more expensive for raffle fees than others. We’ll have a lot of sports-related items too, like a signed Red Sox baseball, a Celtics team autographed basketball and a Patriots team autographed football.” Hardy said as of this spring, the High Hopes Foundation has become an entirely volunteer-based organization.

At a neighborhood cookout I met a woman who asserted that she had a “brown thumb.” Although this is not the first time I’ve heard someone say they couldn’t grow anything, I always take issue with such statements. No one is born with an ability to garden; some of us become good gardeners over time as we learn, and as we improve our soil. Good gardeners learn from their mistakes; I’ve killed plenty of plants, but I try not to let that discourage me. Good gardeners observe our gardens carefully, visit other gardens, and read the words of other gardeners. Ms. Brown Thumb was surprised to learn that I went to my garden every day, generally several times a day. She just visits hers on the weekends. Good gardeners pull a few weeds every day, pick bugs and marvel at the wonders of their flowers. She was also bothered by bugs. She didn’t want to be bitten by them or, I gather, touch them; I imagine handling slugs or snails would be unthinkable for her, though it’s routine for me. Many of my gardening friends think nothing of squishing snails or Japanese beetles between their fingers; others prefer dropping them in soapy water. Still, bugs are a part of gardening. Observation is important. If you don’t see what is eating your squash or potato leaves, turn over the leaf. Chances are you’ll find the culprit – or a clue like their eggs. Go out at dawn, or just before bed with a flashlight, to see what the problem is. Good gardeners are amateur sleuths, too. My grandfather, John Lenat, was a great gardener. He always had a compost pile full of earthworms made from weeds, kitchen scraps and chicken or cow manure. He treated his soil and plants to liberal doses of compost when he planted and often gave his tomatoes manure tea that he made in an old wooden barrel. We mixed hen manure and water (roughly four parts water to one part manure), stirred it daily, and fed his tomatoes one 12-ounce can of tea at least once a week. Good gardeners love being outdoors and don’t mind getting dirty. Remember the character Pig Pen in Charles Schultz’s comic strip, Peanuts? Gardeners are a bit like that. I am forever wiping my hands on my pants so that I can clean my glasses or dig a knife out of my pocket. I have a network of gardening friends, and we are forever exchanging ideas and plants. Sometimes we even get together to help a friend catch up on weeding – a grand idea if you get behind – or just to have a potluck and talk gardens. I recommend it.
The High Line garden offers good ideas.
Garden clubs are another great way to learn about gardening. Although the summer is about over, many clubs have garden tours each summer. I love to visit gardens that are not open to the public. There is nothing like seeing how another gardener designs a garden, or the conditions that a particular plant likes. Public gardens are wonderful resources, too. I just visited the High Line, a garden in New York City that was built on an abandoned elevated railway line. It’s over a mile and a half long and has a fabulous collection of not only of perennials and grasses, but trees and shrubs, too. I brought my camera and a notebook to record the walk, and to help me remember names of plants I want to research. Books can be a great help when it comes to gardening, too. Even experienced gardeners can be reminded of facts we forget. How many years are bean seeds good for? How about onions? I find myself going back to Ed Smith’s The Vegetable Gardener’s Bible to jog my memory. And Barbara Damrosch’s The Garden Primer is a great resource on many topics; I assigned it to my students when teaching college-level sustainable gardening. I’ve even been known to refer back to books I’ve written on occasion; we can’t remember everything! I know that the internet is a great resource, too. As an older gardener I tend to reach for books on my shelf when I have a question, but I’m increasingly using Wikipedia or university sites for information. And I’ve been able to identify wild plants by using Google. I just list three characteristics of a plant, and it presents me with a number of options – including the right one. The key to having a green thumb, I think, is to get to know soils and how to improve them. Good compost is full of organic matter and living beneficial organisms. I add it liberally to my soil and have for years. Now plants beg to come home with me so they can thrive and have babies. Of course, the weeds do, too!

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT
Dear Donna,
An elderly friend acquired this panther light as a gift over 50 years ago. It is 22 inches long. There is what’s left of a small, oval, bluish tag on its belly with only the letters “issu” remaining. I did not check to see if there were any other identifying marks inside the bulb cavity. The eyes are holes to emit light from the bulb in the belly. The finish seems nice considering it only received a light wipe after being in an attic for many years. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Pam
Dear Pam, Your panther (jaguar) lamp is right out of the 1950s and was a very popular TV lamp (to display on top of the television). Some did have very large shades so they were used on side tables, but others just had the belly opening for light, or sometimes flowers in the hole instead of a light. There were a few different companies that manufactured these animal lamps, along with other forms and decorative properties — some had rhinestone eyes, for example. No matter which one you have, you want it to be in good condition and the cord functional for Festivals & Fairs Events • LEE FAIR Events include live music all day, the Re/Max hot air balloon ride, food vendors, a magic show, children's games, a horseshoe tournament, farm games, a tractor parade, as well as a pig roast and chicken barbecue at 5 p.m. and fireworks at 8 p.m. Sat., Sept. 10, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Little River Park, Route 155, Lee.

IN/OUT CAR TALK
Older car might not be good fit for new driver Dear Car Talk: In 1996, I bought a brand-new Toyota Tercel as a wedding present for our daughter and new son-in-law. This car has been amazing! Over 223,000 miles with By Ray Magliozzi no mechanical problems or rust. With our granddaughter now turning 16, as a “birthday gift” to the family, I put it into the shop to go over everything so that this 20-year-old car would continue to be reliable transportation for them, and be a good vehicle for a new driver to learn on (four-speed manual). Amazingly, everything was still original, but not surprisingly, it needed some work. It needed a new radiator, a catalytic converter, a timing belt and a bunch of rubber items, etc. I even put in a new radio, as cassettes are not so popular now. One thing it did NOT need was a clutch! The original clutch showed little wear. But ... not long after this work was completed, it started using oil — big time: More than a quart every 500 miles. I think the engine’s shot (I suspect my granddaughter continued driving it after the oil light came on). So, now we’re looking at a remanufactured engine or a rebuild — I’m guessing $2,000
HIPPO | SEPTEMBER 8 - 14, 2016 | PAGE 44
on top of the $2,000 I already put in to keep it on the road. While this car was, in my opinion, worth $2,000, I’m not sure about $4,000. However, since the first $2,000 is already sunk, I think I’m committed to it. What are your thoughts? — Grandpa Gordon You sound like a wonderful grandpa, Gordon, but I think it’s time to abandon ship. It’s not that the car couldn’t continue to run well with a rebuilt engine; it’s that it’s not a very safe car, especially for a new, young driver. It’s small, it’s lightweight and it won’t fare well if it’s hit by a Chevy Tahoe, or even a Chevy Malibu. It has basic driver and passenger air bags, but even anti-lock brakes were optional. And if you got the four-speed manual transmission, you probably got the El Cheapo edition without ABS. Cars built more recently are so much safer. They have stronger structural protection for the passenger compartment, and they have side, knee and head air bags. They have electronic stability control to prevent skids and rollovers. Newer cars are making this Tercel look more and more like a safety antique every day. And we know that, statistically, young drivers have more accidents than the rest of us. That’s a fact. I know you’re invested in the Tercel, in more ways than one, Gordon. But if it were
my daughter or granddaughter, I’d want her making her early-driver mistakes in something more substantial and better-equipped. So you have a couple of options. One is to let her take her chances, and just add oil regularly. You can buy about 500-600 quarts of oil for that $2,000 you’d put into a used engine — and that’s if you buy them one at a time. If you go for the 55-gallon drum in your living room, you can get 2,000 quarts for $2,000! In any case, that’s a lot of miles -and, more importantly, you can invest in the Tercel 500 miles at a time — until you can get your granddaughter an upgrade. Or, you could always fix and drive the Tercel yourself, Gordon, since you’re a much more experienced driver. Then you can give her your 2015 Lexus! I think the best thing to do is to keep the Tercel, as is, as a backup car, and look for something safer for your granddaughter to drive every day. For instance, for somewhere in the $4,000-$6,000 range, you could get her something like a 1998-2000 Volvo S70. That has front and side-impact air bags, ABS, traction control and a very good crashtest record. It’ll cost you a fortune in repairs compared to what this Tercel cost over its first 20 years, but hopefully your granddaughter has
already learned the lesson about what happens when you drive with the oil light on.
Dear Car Talk: We have a 2007 Toyota 4Runner with 80,000 miles on it. It is on its second set of tires. When we replaced the tires the first time, I think that we probably should have bought only three tires and used the full-size spare, which is on the same rim as the four tires on the ground. Now that spare is 9 years old. Is it too late to try to use it when we next replace the tires? — Gary and Patty Yeah, that spare’s a little late to the party. Nine years is too old to rely on a tire. The tire manufacturers say a tire should be replaced after six years — even if it’s not worn out — due to rubber degradation. Even if you add a couple of years to that to account for the tire makers’ desire to sell more tires, nine years probably is pushing it. What you should have done is had your first set of tires rotated occasionally and mixed the spare into the rotation. That would have gotten you a little more life out of that set. And when you replace this second generation of tires, save the best used one as a spare and put the 9-year-old spare in an assisted-rotating home. Visit Cartalk.com.

for their community outreach and citizenship. According to Brouder, the Old Home Day committee is also searching for Sandown’s oldest living resident and is working to bring back the more than century-old “Boston Post Cane” tradition, which involved a town selectman presenting a town’s oldest living resident with a cane. “We’ve been posting information on the bulletin board outside the Sandown Town Hall but unfortunately we have not yet found Sandown’s oldest living resident,” Brouder said. A variety of entertainment offerings will also be on the fairgrounds, Brouder said, including magicians, clowns, bouncy houses, and a number of organizations selling their products and doing demonstrations. About an hour after sunset, the festivities will move to the nearby Sandlot Sports & Entertainment Center on North Road, where fireworks will kick off around 9 p.m. The two-day event is the main fundraiser for the Sandown Historical Society’s restoration of artifacts and other preserved materials. “We’re actually in the process of restoring an old cannon that the town owns that’s going to be put on display near the Town Hall, and we’ll have it on display at the festival,” Brouder said. “One of the other big goals this year is restoring some of the old railroad cars that we have back to their original configuration.”

With Labor Day in the rearview mirror, the Sandown Old Home Day Fall Festival will return to usher in the new season with a beer and wine tent and chili cook-off on Friday, Sept. 9, followed by family-friendly activities like KnockerBalls, a parade, a pie-eating contest and a dog show on Saturday, Sept. 10. The festival’s venue has changed; this year it will be held at the Edward C. Garvey Recreational Building. It will kick off at 7 p.m. Friday with a beer and wine tent at the center for adults ages 21 and older only, according to Old Home Day committee marketing manager Bob Brouder. Featured at the tent will be tastings from Smuttynose and Budweiser, as well as a chili cook-off and live music and dancing. The tent will be sponsored by the Sandown Historical Society and the Chili “King” or “Queen” will be crowned for his or her best recipe. “The only cost is a fee to taste all of the chilis that will be brought in and if people would like to purchase beer,” Brouder said. “But other than that, the music is free to enjoy.” Unlike the events on Friday, Brouder said all of the festivities throughout the day on Saturday will be open to all ages. Saturday’s events will kick off with a parade leaving Sandown Central School on Main Street at 9 a.m. before traveling north to Glastombury Road. “The parade route is about three tenths of a mile, so it should be done within a half hour or so, we are thinking,” Brouder said. “The children’s bike parade is actually going to lead off the rest of the floats.” New this year at the Old Home Day Fairgrounds will be KnockerBalls, a game involving two big blowup balls that people climb inside and charge at each other in an attempt to get their opponent to fall on the ground. The cost to use them will be $5 for five minutes per person. “The [Sandown] Lions Club will be hosting the annual dog show again, that’s been a big hit,” Brouder said. Prizes will be given out for the dog with the sweetest eyes, the droopiest ears, the “most likely to lick an intruder to death,” and more. “There will also be a pie eating contest, and St. Matthew’s Church will be at the Rec. Center building sponsoring a free pancake breakfast,” Brouder said, adding that at least 30 New England-based food and craft vendors will be on hand at the fairgrounds under tents or at food trucks. Two Sandown residents – one who is 21 years of age or older and another who is 17 or younger – will be honored at the festival

Celebrate local seafood at Hampton Beach Seafood Festival By Angie Sykeny
News from the local food scene
asykeny@hippopress.com
By Angie Sykeny
If you love lobster, crab cakes, fish tacos or almost any other kind of seafood you can think of, there’s no better place to get it than the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival. “New England seafood is worldwide famous. Nowhere in the world can you get seafood like you can here in New England, and nowhere but the festival can you find 60 vendors serving an abundance of seafood like this,” Festival Chairman Jude David said. The 27th annual festival takes place Friday, Sept. 9, through Sunday, Sept. 11, along Hampton Beach’s Ocean Boulevard and features local and regional restaurants serving all kinds of seafood, plus a beer tent, professional chef demonstrations, a lobster roll eating contest and more. Between two large food tents, visitors can find traditional seafood favorites like lobster rolls, clam and seafood chowders, fish and chips, crab cakes and crab rangoon, fried calamari, fish sandwiches and fish tacos, clam strips, shrimp cocktails and more. Most vendors bring their signature seafood dishes, but many also cook up new dishes specially for the festival. “They tend to be a little more creative and do unique items. Every year they step up their game and do something different that attracts people,” David said. “A lot of vendors who serve a new item at the seafood festival even end up putting it on their menu afterwards.” Some of the less traditional seafood dishes include coconut shrimp with orange marmalade sauce, cajun swordfish, provolone-stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon, Montauk seafood salad (chilled shrimp, scallops and mussels in a fresh lemon thyme vinaigrette), buffalo shrimp and cajun shrimp skewers. Lobster lovers can get all of the classic lobster dishes as well as lobster-inspired variations of pasta, quesadillas, macaro-

• Growing LaBelle: The Amherst Zoning Board of Adjustment has given its initial approval for part of LaBelle Winery’s plan to expand into the 48-acre plot directly across the street from the winery at 340 Route 101, according to the Union Leader. The proposal was to build an artisan village with a new inn, restaurant, event center, distillery and five acres of additional vineyard space. LaBelle was permitted a variance for everything except the distillery, which the board still has concerns about regarding the expected water consumption. The board will vote about the distillery plan at its September meeting. • Learning the basics: The University of New Hampshire Hospitality Management Program is partnering with Chez Boucher Cooking School to offer basic culinary classes for adults. The first class, “Cooking, Food, and Wine Fundamentals,” will cover cooking techniques and terminology, food handling safety, preparation, production procedures and wine pairing. The class is held at Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics at UNH (10 Garrison Ave., Durham) and runs for six consecutive weeks on Mondays from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., beginning Sept. 12. Tuition costs $595. The second session, “Bistro Cuisine,” will be offered next spring and will focus on each element of the traditional menu, from appetizers to entrees. Visit paulcollege.unh.edu/ cooking-food-and-wine-fundamentals. • Oktoberfest is here: Henniker Brewing Company (129 Centervale Road, Henniker, 428-3579, hennikerbrewing. com) hosts its third annual Oktoberfest on Saturday, Sept. 10, from noon to 4 p.m. The event features the release of the brewery’s fall seasonal Hometown Double Brown, free brewery tours, beer samples, local food trucks and vendors including Boogalows Island BBQ, MM Good Ice Cream Truck, White Mountain Kettle Corn and others. There will also be live music, games, raffles and other activities. Admission is free, and pets and families are welcome. • A new tour stop: Derry-Londonder54

ni and cheese, sliders, grilled cheese and ravioli. Though seafood is the highlight, there are also plenty of festival standards like blooming onions, chicken fingers, hot dogs, barbecue ribs, burgers, Italian sausage and french fries, and non-seafood specialties like gyros, falafel sandwiches, Jamaican jerk chicken on a stick, chicken and beef kabobs, gourmet macaroni and cheese and jambalaya. Finally, there will be plenty of options for visitors to satisfy their sweet tooth with desserts like fried Oreos, strawberry shortcake, baklava, fried dough sundaes, apple crisp, dessert crepes and even chocolate covered bacon strips. Visitors can grab a drink at one of the soft drink booths located around the festival, at the beach cabana bar or at the beverage court, which will have Budweiser and Redhook brand beers. The restaurants aren’t only at the festival to sell food; they’re also there to compete for a variety of titles like Best Lobster Roll, Most Creative Cuisine, Best Bisque, Best Fried Food, Freshest Catch, Best Chowder and others, which will be awarded by a panel of judges. “For something like Best Lobster Roll, the judges look at the freshness of the meat, if there’s a good mixture with the amount of mayonnaise and if there’s enough lobster meat for the roll,” David said. “They look at all angles of what makes something the best. It’s really a science.” On Saturday from noon to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m., Wicked Bites television and radio show will host cooking demonstrations with some of the region’s best chefs. Visitors can watch, learn cooking tips, sample food and get free recipes
while chefs prepare their most famous seafood recipes. Past demonstrations have featured dishes like seafood gazpacho, Thai seafood chowder and Caribbean jerk seasoned scallops with tropical fruit salsa and coconut rum sauce in a Parmesan tuile cup. New local chefs at this year’s demo come from the River House in Portsmouth and Lobster Q in Hampstead, while returning chefs come from The Old Salt Restaurant and Chez Boucher Cooking School in Hampton, just to name a few. The Hampton Beach Seafood Festival is also home to the annual Lobster Roll Eating Contest, which brings 12 professional eaters from across the country each year to compete for cash prizes and bragging rights. Spectators are invited to behold the action on Saturday at 2 p.m. “It’s an eating frenzy. It’s really become an event within the event and is the most spectated thing at the festival,” David said. “If you’ve never seen an eating competition, you have to witness it at least once in your life.” While the seafood is the main draw, the festival has a variety of other attractions too, such as continuous live music by local artists on two stages, over 80 arts and crafts vendors selling locally made products, a Kiddie Land with games, face painting, train rides and more; the largest fireworks show of the summer (Saturday at 8:15 p.m.), skydiving demonstrations (Sunday at 5 p.m.) and Ocean Boulevard merchants sidewalk sales. “We call it New England’s largest beach party,” David said. “There’s entertainment for anyone who comes, and it’s just a fun, friendly atmosphere where people can make new friends and have a great time.”

Discover new restaurants, rediscover established ones and see what’s trending in the food scene of downtown Manchester when Intown Manchester presents its annual Taste of Downtown event the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 14. Restaurants will be serving samples in the Brady Sullivan Plaza (1000 Elm St.), in their own locations and in partnership with other downtown businesses at those businesses’ locations. There will be a number of ethnic cuisines represented, including Brazilian, Mexican, Greek, Italian and Japanese, as well as American fusion, diner favorites, cupcakes and gourmet chocolates and candies. Most restaurants serve samples of one or more of their most popular or trademark menu items. “It’s a huge variety of food to choose from. There’s pretty much something for every palate,” Intown Executive Director Sara Beaudry said. “It’s a fun evening to stroll and check out different spots and really experience everything about downtown.” There will be about 50 restaurants and businesses participating. They will have balloons and event posters outside their storefronts so that tasters can identify them easily. The plaza will feature up to 15 restaurants including Red Arrow Diner, Thousand Crane and more, plus live music and local artists with their work on display. The restaurant and business pairings are assembled based on their requests if they have them, or by matching fledgling restaurants with longstanding businesses, or vice versa. “It’s nice to have some of the newer ones paired with established ones, to give them an opportunity to get out there and meet the businesses’ patrons,” Beaudry said. New participants this year will include
B&B Cafe & Grill (25 Stark St.) and Gale Motor Co. Eatery (36 Lowell St.), which opened in April. Queen City Cupcakes will be serving at its new sister shop Pop of Color (816 Elm St.), which just opened last month and features locally made home decor and gifts. Returning restaurants will include Firefly American Bistro & Bar serving at E-Vision Eyecare (1093 Elm St.), Dancing Lion Chocolate serving at Studio 550 (550 Elm St.), Gauchos Churrascaria Brazilian Steakhouse serving at its restaurant location (62 Lowell St.), and others. “Gauchos is one of the best spots along the route,” Beaudry said. “They have a chocolate fondue station, wine samples, appetizers. They put out one heck of a spread. It’s like you go in there and it’s a party.” There’s a lot of ground to cover, so Beaudry encourages people to walk the route in an organized fashion so they don’t get overwhelmed or miss anything. She suggests starting at the north end by E-Vision Eyecare and progressing down Elm Street on the eastern side, turning down Lowell Street to check out the stops along there, returning to complete that side of Elm, then walking back to the north end on the other side of the street. “I always like to tell people that it’s not a race. They don’t need to rush,” she said. “People think if they only get a taste at each place, they aren’t going to get their money’s worth, but it’s actually a lot of food. The point is to stop and chat with the people and really take it all in and enjoy it.” Taste of Downtown Manchester When: Wednesday, Sept. 14, 5 to 8 p.m. Where: Various downtown locations Cost: Tickets cost $15 in advance, $20 the day of the event Visit: mhttaste2016.eventbrite.com

Game on
Where to find food and drink specials during NFL season By Angie Sykeny
asykeny@hippopress.com
With the first New England Patriots game of the season airing this Sunday, Sept. 11, many area sports bars and restaurants are rolling out their game day food and drink specials, from $2 drafts and beer bucket deals to 35-cent chicken wings and discounts on appetizers. Some places have fun challenges that determine what the specials will be, and there are even a few football parties to kick off the season. Grab your jersey and some friends and head to one of these eateries to watch the game.
• Auburn Pitts (167 Rockingham Road, Auburn, 622-6564, facebook.com/auburnpitts) is having a free, all-you-can-eat barbecue buffet to celebrate the first Patriots Sunday afternoon game on Sept. 18 at 1 p.m. For all Patriots games, there are 25-cent chicken wings and $5 draft pitchers. • Billy’s Sports Bar and Grill (34 Tarrytown Road, Manchester, 622-3644, billyssportsbar.com) has beer specials during NFL games including $2 Bud draft, $2.50 Bud Light draft, Bud Light pitchers for $9.50 and Bud Light super tubes for $18.50.

Additionally, every time the Patriots score, a restaurant staff member will spin a wheel, with each number on the wheel representing a different food or drink special. The winning special will be in effect until the next Patriots score and wheel spin. • The Dugout (1087 Elm St., Manchester, 206-5599, facebook.com/thedugoutNH) is having a grand opening party on Sunday, Sept. 11, to kick off the beginning of the Dugout’s Football Sundays.

Celebrating
Season Our 45th
WITH TAMMY BELESKI
When Tammy Beleski opened The Bagg Lunch diner (679 Mast Road, Pinardville/Goffstown, 935-7053, thebagglunch.com) in 2010, she already had years of experience in the restaurant business. She started working at the Merrimack Restaurant when she was young alongside her grandmother, who worked there for close to 30 years. Beleski also ran Amato’s pizza and sub shop in Manchester for a couple of years, but when both the Merrimack Restaurant and Amato’s closed, she decided to go into business for herself. The Bagg Lunch is named after her grandparents, and her grandmother still works with her at the diner. It’s open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week with breakfast served all day, and for dinner on Fridays. What is your must-have kitchen item? A good spatula. Omelettes are huge and so are our pancakes, so I need a big spatula.

had in my pantry instead of base, but the chowder still had a rich chicken flavor, although less concentrated than I would have had using base. The recipe also called for the chowder to be garnished with bacon and parsley, which I omitted. The cream cheese was a surprising addition, but one that added richness and body to the chowder. The low and slow cooking brought out the fullness in the wine and allowed the chicken time to flavor the broth, with an assist from the bouillon. The finished product was a huge hit. My husband went back for seconds and then took leftovers to work two days in a row, recommending I use the slow cooker more often. Despite my exaggerated eye roll in response to his remark, I have to admit he has a point. The slow cooker made this recipe quick and easy, and I’ll be making it again soon. — Lauren Mifsud

Chopped bacon and parsley, for serving In the slow cooker, whisk together wine, bouillon and 4 cups of water. Add the chicken, potatoes, garlic, onion, thyme and salt and pepper, tossing to combine. Cook, covered, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, approximately 5 to 6 hours on low or 3.5 to 4 hours on high. Discard the thyme sprigs. In a small bowl, whisk together the half-and-half and cornstarch. Stir into the chowder along with the cream cheese and vegetables. If the slow cooker was on low, turn it to high and cook until the vegetables are heated through and the chowder thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

Somehow, summer is nearly over. The first touches of cooler weather are in the air, and in my house, with cooler weather comes more comfort food. But I’ve been struggling lately to enjoy cooking or even put an edible meal on the table. In one week alone I cooked a pork loin beyond repair and my daughter ate macaroni and cheese three nights in a row. It seems summer sapped my will to cook. As luck would have it, a monthly women’s magazine had the article I needed to reinvigorate my kitchen repertoire – a recipe for chicken pot pie chowder piqued my interest. One of my household’s favorite meals is chicken pot pie. I’ve gotten it down to a science and can throw it together with little to no effort. In the summer it’s just too hot to make, but with chillier evenings more frequent, this recipe for chowder was perfect. Using the slow cooker, it took minimal effort and didn’t heat up my kitchen. The pantry-friendly recipe included dry white wine and chicken base in the broth and was seasoned with garlic, onion, thyme, and salt and pepper. I tossed it all into the slow cooker with the chicken and red potatoes and walked away. A few hours later it was time to thicken the chowder. A slurry of cornstarch and half-andhalf went into the slow cooker, followed by cream cheese, peas, carrots and corn. I went a little heavy on the thyme as I opted to use dried thyme instead of fresh sprigs. I also used bouillon cubes that I

I can’t believe how quickly summer has gone by. Fall brings with it cooler weather, foliage and a shift to red wines from white for me. It is an exciting time here in New Hampshire, as many vineyards are getting ready to harvest their grapes soon. I have been lucky enough to visit several vineyards during the last few weeks, and all are reporting that they are expecting a great crop this year. Even with the drought we have had this summer, the grapes are still flourishing on the vines. This means we have some great wines to look forward to next year and beyond. If you ever have the opportunity to participate in the harvest, I highly recommend it. Aside from growing grapes yourself, there is no better way to get up close and personal with the winemaking process. Last year, I had the chance to pick grapes at Fulchino Vineyard in Hollis, run them through the crusher/destemmer and try the fresh pressed grape juice. I hope to be able to be part of that process again this year. If you thought the only way you’d get to experience this is across the globe in Italy or France, I am here to let you know this is not the case. We have some great wineries right here in our backyard. There are some really fun and exciting wine events coming up this fall. I will be highlighting more in upcoming columns. This week, cabernet and merlot fans should save the date of Thursday, Sept. 15, for the New Hampshire Liquor Commission’s next tasting event. The New Hampshire Liquor Commission is hosting a premium tasting event on Thursday, Sept. 15, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Bedford Village Inn. This event will feature more than 100 wines retailing at $45 or more. Guests can visit more than 15 tables of wine during Cabernet & Merlot from Around the World while sampling hors d’oeuvres from BVI. This is a great opportunity to taste some premium wines, including M by Michael Mondavi, an iconic Napa Valley cab; Cakebread Cellars Dancing Bear Ranch (cabernet) and Cakebread Cellars Benchland Select; Paul Hobbs Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon; Inglenook Rubicon, the winery’s flagship wine; Ornellaia Bolgheri, an Italian blend; and Opus One, which would be on the top of my “must try” list. These are just some of the featured wines, but they show the quality of the

products that will be there. If you especially like cabernet and merlot, then you will really enjoy this event. Guests can purchase wines they like that night. “These fine wine tasting events provide our customers — both knowledgeable wine enthusiasts and newcomers — with an opportunity to sample some of the very best wines in the world,” said Lisa Gosselin, NHLC wine marketing and sales specialist. “Consumers can sample delicious wines, many of which are exclusive offerings that are in some cases impossible to find elsewhere, and learn from wine professionals who can help guide them through the tasting process as they explore the diversity of these wines. This Cabernet & Merlot from Around the World event allows guests to really focus on these two well-known varietals, which are also among NHLC’s best-selling varietals.” Proceeds will benefit the Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter, so sip some wines, enjoy some good food and support a great cause. Tickets are $65 per person and can be ordered online at nhliquorwine.ticketleap.com.
Valvin muscat smoothie recipe

KRUPNIK Brazilian Steak House
This deep golden liqueur carries all the robust flavor of the local honey we start with. It is artfully balanced with spices of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, fresh ginger, and vanilla, plus 40% alcohol to make an incredibly intense sipping liqueur. For a final touch, we lightly age the spirit on our oak ex-whiskey barrels.

POP CULTURE
MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Frank Ocean, Blond (Boys Don’t Cry Records)
Now officially the Smoky Robinson of soul-hip-hop crossover, Frank Ocean has finally released this album, this after prefacing it a few weeks ago with a dubious 45-minute “visuals” piece, which didn’t make his breathless fans any happier. The response from his minions has been pretty funny, with lots of breathless adoration mixed in with the arguing about the actual spelling of the title, which, as the always-Switzerland Wikipedia notes, is “stylized” from “Blonde.” How exciting for his minions, who apparently never heard any 1960s soul, or Gnarls, or Jamie Lidell, etc. Anyway, the munchkin-voiced “Nikes” single leads off, the sample coming from the 1968 single “The Champ” by the Mohawks, which basically sets the tone for half of everything here, mellow samples from the likes of Todd Rundgren, The Beatles and even Gang of Four. It’d be a swindle if it all weren’t awesome and timely, from the righteously pretty Beyonce-guested “Pink+White” to the pensive, mumbled self-examination of “Futura Free.” A — Eric W. Saeger Ohlayindigo, Phases (Crescent Heights Records)
Geez, T’Pau has risen from the grave, in the form of a girl-boy duo who hail from San Francisco by way of Norway (her) and Britain (him). This is bubblegum so sugary you’d need a crowbar to get it off your shoe, a grandiose mixture of Abba, 1980s synth-pop and Kesha, singer Hanna Ponth holding her own as a potential diva of sorts. It’s not clear who’s responsible for these beats (Zak Shrapnell is credited only as the drummer), but I suppose that’ll be de rigueur soon enough, what with the lack of difficulty associated with making them these days, not to mention the music community’s finally admitting that it’s not necessary to add microscopic “human” time-keeping mistakes to otherwise perfect cyber-loops. But yeah, this is awesome stuff, pushing every last angstbutton to bring back the summer when you were 13 years old and beginning to realize what was coming, the heartache, the joy, all those things.

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases
• Mullet-headed jackass Billy Ray Cyrus, whose woodchucktoothed daughter single-handedly destroyed hip-hop forever, will release a new album into the pithy void this week and people will probably just let him get away with it. Thin Line is the title of this 14th album of his, and no, he has not gone back to being a charlatan posing as a Christian rocker, as he spent all that ill-gotten money on beer and mechanical bull-riding jaunts. No, this is yet another attempt to revive his “almost funny and worthwhile” period, back when he did “Achy Breaky Heart,” as here he coughs up a single called “Hey Elvis,” another honky-tonk waste of time, its lyrics and video a dubious, disjointed mess involving Elvis, cash falling out of the ceiling and some other nonsense. The only problem is that some people will like it, but there’s nothing that can be done about that. Nothing. And believe me, I’ve tried. • Scottish jangle-indie 50somethings Teenage Fanclub release their first LP in six years, titled Here. Maybe you gave up on them when their fourth album, Thirteen, was savaged by critics for being stupid, or maybe you’re still into them, meaning you are from the U.K. and can actually read NME without cracking up laughing. But let’s let bygones be bygones and go listen to their new single, whatever it is — OK, here it is, it’s “I’m in Love,” a 1960s-style twee-rocker that makes me think of Death Cab For Cutie. Wait, the guitarist is soloing, and it’s like Thin Lizzy, but with the volume set to “grandma’s trying to sleep.” What a strange world we live in. • Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds practically invented disjointed, angular post-punk that makes no sense, so you have to give them “props” or whatever. Skeleton Tree, the band’s newest, is due out immediately, but the deal is, this new album will not be just an album, there will be a film associated with it, titled One More Time with Feeling, but it will only be out for one day, Sept. 9. Directed by Andrew Dominik, who has directed cult films like Chopper, it promises to be a weird cinematic experience — maybe Nick Cave will confess he was D.B. Cooper, in this film, who knows. There are no previews and there will be no singles for the album, but there are some dark, weird cinematic clips of Cave babbling esoterically interspersed with black and white clips of people playing cellos and being somber. It all probably signifies something, but I will miss the point, as I won’t be paying this any further attention. • Surely you remember riding on the school bus a million years ago in 2008, with M.I.A.’s song “Paper Planes” playing over the tinny loudspeaker. Now that she has flipped off everyone from Pitchfork to the New York Times, I declare her to be an awesome person. A.I.M., her new LP, features the single “Go Off,” which is awesome, even though it has Auto-Tune, because it has reggaeton and Munchkin voices. Julian Assange would probably like it, which is all she cares about anyway. — Eric W. Saeger

Wine Dinner
Here’s to Us, by Elin Hilderbrand (Little, Brown and Co., 409 pages)
Elin Hilderbrand’s 17 novel is not so much a summer read as it is divorce porn. The story of three women who gather at a Nantucket beach house after the man they were all married to (at different times) dies, it capitalizes on a titillating morsel of theme common in many novels about divorce: regret. In Here’s to Us, Deacon Thorpe is the dearly departed. He was a celebrity chef whose TV show made him almost as famous as second wife Belinda, a Hollywood star. Before her was Laurel, Deacon’s highschool sweetheart. Last in line was the appropriately named Scarlett, who had been a nanny to Deacon and Belinda before their marriage descended from sugary fluff to the hard-boil stage. All the women had children with Deacon. Hayes, 34, is the product of Deacon’s first marriage. He’s a jet-setting travel writer with a secret addiction. Angie, 26, is the biracial daughter adopted by Deacon and Belinda. She works for Deacon at his flagship restaurant and, no surprise, has relationship problems with the married man she’s been seeing. Nine-year-old Ellery is the daughter Deacon had with Scarlett, but she’s pretty much irrelevant, as is Scarlett for most of the book, which is a long-winded commentary on relationships that matter, relationships that don’t, and how the ocean, “a wild, living thing,” can heal pretty much everything that ails us. Hilderbrand, herself a divorced mother of three and part-time resident of the rose-covered hamlet off the Massachusetts coast, follows the old edict “write what you know.” Her novels grow thick with detail about Nantucket places; she even gives tours of the island for her fans. Hilderbrand opens with a scene from Deacon’s childhood, the “one perfect day” he had with his father on Nantucket, which set him up for a lifetime of nostalgia. The trip to the island, it turns out, was a well-planned goodbye; soon after their return home, the father leaves the family, leaving the boy with an unshakeable sorrow: the knowledge that his father didn’t want him. Alternately haunted and comforted by that “one perfect day,” Deacon buys a house on Nantucket as soon and he and his first wife are financially able, and over the years, the subsequent parade of wives make it their own, too. Acrimony ensues. Deacon’s children become friends, but his wives do not. So when Deacon dies, and his best

Fall Mums! friend, Buck, summons the women and their children to the house to say goodbye and settle his affairs in one gloriously awkward weekend, the potential for mayhem beckons like a lighthouse in a raging sea. There’s not only old wounds and fresh venom surging through the trio of wives, but there’s Hayes’ drug addiction, which is starting to make him look like an extra from Breaking Bad. Meanwhile, the wife of Angie’s lover discovers their relationship once Angie arrives at the beach. And Deacon’s beloved house, it turns out, is on the brink of foreclosure. Summarized, the plot seems frail, even dumb. But Hilderbrand has put more than the requisite 10,000 hours into her craft and spices the bland porridge of plot with familiar characters, richly developed. (Plus a few random recipes.) We all know the devoted wife devastated by out-of-nowhere infidelity; the diva who frequents horse farms and race tracks but wouldn’t know how to climb on a horse even if given a ladder, who frolics on boats without knowing how to swim; and the fetching child-bride, who, having a caught a philandering husband, doesn’t quite know what to do with him, like the dog that catches the car. We also know the charming, handsome rake who captivates them. (Or at least, we’ve seen George Clooney on the big screen.) Here’s to Us is built on a thin scaffolding of plot that will not sustain anyone who reads to learn, not to feel. But call it chick lit or a beach read, Hilderbrand is queen of the genre, and her latest is a nicely paced, deftly crafted novel that will satisfy her fans. B — Jennifer Graham

A taste of Telluride
Portsmouth presents 18th annual Telluride by the Sea By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
If you’re part of the population majority that can’t fly to Colorado this month to attend the Telluride Film Festival, you can still catch a taste of it at The Music Hall’s 18th Telluride by the Sea Sept. 16 through Sept. 18. The festival, which features six films taken straight from the Colorado lineup, is a rare treat, only possible because two of Telluride’s original founders, Bill and Stella Pence, now live in Portsmouth. The pair, along with a handful of others, started the Telluride Film Festival in 1973, and today, the Labor Day weekend extravaganza is known for showing films that might not necessarily qualify as blockbusters — instead, they highlight excellence in the art form and make you think. “Telluride has a reputation for choosing films not so much based on what’s popular or what may be popular, but more on what films are great examples of the art of filmmaking,” said Chris Curtis, film and outreach manager with The Music Hall, via phone. “You might not love everything, but you’re going to have something to talk about afterward. … They’re always thought-provoking films, whether it’s because of the content of the story or the characters, or the filmmaking itself and the beauty of how the pieces are put together.” When the couple moved to Portsmouth they struck up a relationship with The Music Hall, and they have been instrumental in its film programming; Curtis said he works very closely with Bill Pence throughout the year because of his knowledge and influence in the industry. “But when it comes to Telluride by the Sea, it’s Bill and Stella’s baby,” Curtis said. Telluride planning starts in the sum-
mer, which is when the Pences get to work too. They determine the Portsmouth films from a large pool set to screen in Colorado with the end goal of creating a balanced program of great films with a little bit of everything, from foreign or lighthearted to dark or dramatic. “They’ve got dozens of films that screen at Telluride. We get six of what we hope are among the best,” Curtis said. The festival opens Friday night with La La Land, a musical starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling about making it in Los Angeles. Curtis said it’s been garnering a lot of buzz. “It’s a good way to kick off a weekend that is a celebration of cinema — to have something full of color and dancing music,” Curtis said. Also set to screen: Things to Come, about a middle-aged woman whose conventional life is tested by unexpected changes; Neruda, about Chile’s acclaimed poet and leftist senator Pablo Neruda; Arrival, about a linguist ordered by her government to try to communicate with aliens who’ve landed on Earth; Graduation, about a man who’s dedicated himself to help his daughter finish high school and study overseas; and Maudie, about Canadian folk artist Maudie Lewis. People travel from all over the Northeast to attend Telluride by the Sea. Curtis said individual screenings often sell out the day of, so if you don’t want to buy a pass but do want to see a specific movie, it’s best to reserve a ticket. Telluride by the Sea Where: The Music Hall, 28 Chestnut St., Portsmouth When: Friday, Sept. 16, through Sun., Sept. 18 Admission: $15 for individual films, $90 for a weekend pass, $210 for a patron pass Contact: 436-2400, themusichall.org

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
The Light Between Oceans (PG-13)
A lighthouse keeper and his wife endure so much sadness that even their happiest moments are bittersweet in The Light Between Oceans, the saddest sad movie that ever saddened you.
The Light Between Oceans
checks in on her a while later, she tells him not to signal the mainland yet, give the baby some time to rest and recuperate. To the surprise of no one, “a while to rest” quickly turns into “forever,” as Isabel begs him not to tell anybody about what washed ashore. Bury the dead guy and we’ll just pretend the baby is ours, she says. He suggests they report the situation and apply to adopt the baby but she reminds him that they live on an island, far from the mainland, and that it is unlikely they would ever be chosen as parents. Perhaps because his deeply grieved wife is now smiling and cooing at a baby or perhaps because he’s been persuaded it’s the best for the baby, Tom agrees, buries the dead man, pulls up the grave marker for their second child and records the little girl’s presence as the early birth of their own baby in his log. There is a believability problem with this plan that might be better explained in the book on which this movie is based and is further muddled by the nature of movie-making, namely that the baby we see plucked from the sea looks way too old to be anybody’s recently born baby. She is supposed to be the Sherbournes’ baby born early. But newborn babies, even those born roughly full-term, look like strange space aliens if strange space aliens happened to have adorable noses and old-man hairlines. Cute movie infants that are “just born” are actually the baby you get at

Need a good cry? Here you go! Bring tissues. Even before we get to any of the sad events of this movie, Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) and Isabel Graysmark (Alicia Vikander) are super sad. Tom is still getting over his four years spent fighting on the Western Front during the Great War. Isabel wonders if she can still call herself a sister after losing her two brothers in that same war. She cries during what is basically their first date. Sad! But, ever so briefly, these two also get to experience a little happiness. Tom has been given a post as lighthouse keeper on an island off the coast of Australia (the Indian and Pacific Oceans being the oceans of the title). After a few months, and a few months of correspondence with Isabel, Tom agrees to her idea that she come out to the island with him the only way that would be allowed: as his wife. They have a sweet wedding and a sweet and lovely newlywed period, with Isabel falling in love with the wind-swept island. All wrapped up in love for each other and their island home, the couple also get lovey over the baby Isabel is soon expecting. But, because this could also be called Sadness! The Two-Hour Experience!, the pregnancy takes a sudden turn and Isabel miscarries. Tom cares for her, gently assuring her that one day they will look back after having five children and find they’ve moved beyond this heartache. They try again, Isabel gets pregnant again and again, cue the sad music. Within days (or maybe even hours) of miscarriage number two, Isabel, lying on the ground next to the graves of her two babies, hears crying. Tom, up in the lighthouse, sees a boat. They both run down to the shore and find a rowboat containing a dead man and a crying baby girl. Tom tells Isabel to take the baby into the house to warm her up. When he
and Weisz to the lovely island to the beautiful long grass that people seem to be forever lying in. Everything about the cinematography is lovely to look at and everything about the story is tear-jerky. It’s not a bad combination, for the kind of movie where people are forever being torn from loved ones, The Light Between Oceans does what it does very well. If there’s a flaw, it’s that there isn’t much beyond pretty pictures and sad stories. If you like this sort of thing, if this is your flavor of comfort food, this is an impeccably made version. If it’s not, there’s nothing in this movie to give it crossover appeal. B Rated PG-13 for thematic material and some sexual content. Written for the screen and directed by Derek Cianfrance (from the novel by M.L. Stedman), The Light Between Oceans is something like three to four months.

Hands of Stone (R)
Panamanian boxer Roberto Durán fights his way off the streets in Hands of Stone, a fairly by-the-numbers biopic.
We first see little Roberto running around the streets of Panama, stealing mangoes and attempting to outrun the U.S. military members whose presence in the Panama Canal Zone so annoyed him (all the more so because his absent father was a soldier who had abandoned Roberto and his mother). Learning to box to earn some money, Roberto garners the attention of Plomo (Pedro Pérez), a trainer. By the time he’s a teenager, Roberto (Edgar Ramírez) is a big enough deal to fight in the U.S. but Plomo and manager Carlos Eleta (Rubén Blades) think he can go even further. They urge him to train with Ray Arcel (Robert De Niro). Arcel was once a big name in boxing — too big for the New York mob that controlled a lot of the boxing industry. While Ray wanted to make boxing a national sport, they strongly didn’t, giving him a beating and threatening him with worse if he ever tried to make a dollar in the sport again. So Arcel has to agree to train Roberto for free. Arcel joins team Roberto and quickly learns that part of his job will be keeping Roberto’s temper and resentment at bay. When Roberto isn’t focused on boxing or being angry, he’s chasing Felicidad (Ana de Armas), the girl he woos and eventually weds. Roberto steadily gained success, money and fame (and children; we see Felicidad and Roberto having baby after baby, him naming all the boys “Roberto”) throughout the 1970s, eventually building up to a highly publicized fight with Sugar Ray Leonard (Usher Raymond) in 1980. But success, as it always has to in movies like this, has a down side, with Roberto still suffering from the scars of a childhood in poverty and now from the problems that can come with excess. In the background throughout this very VH1 Behind the Music story (complete with the part about the manager’s own fiscal motivations) are moments that touch on the relationship between the U.S. and Panama during the later half of the 20th century. As the movie opens, it feels like this bit of history is going to play a bigger role in Roberto’s life than it does. I suspect it’s in there to give some sort of context to this very standard sports tale that feels more like a timeline of biographical incidents than a dramatic narrative with an arc. And that’s fine; not everybody’s life has an easily biopic-ed arc. Hands of Stone, which refers to one of Durán’s nicknames, doesn’t break any molds in form or offer anything particularly unique or exciting in its performances, but, as boxing biopics go, it does offer some nice context about a well-known fight. BRated R for language and some sexuality/ nudity. Written and directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz, Hands of Stone is an hour and 51 minutes long and distributed by The Weinstein Co.

er, takes-no-crap beauty that we suspect one Michelle Robinson truly was. They speechify at each other in a way that rings false as actual words that two people say to each other while deciding if they’re on a date or not but rings true in spirit to how these characters think about each other and themselves and their places in the world. Michelle Robinson (Tika Sumpter) is an associate at a corporate law firm in Chicago. She has a strict no-dating-colleagues rule and we infer that she has explained this a few times to Barack Obama (Parker Sawyers), the summer associate she has agreed to spend an afternoon with. It’s not a date, she tells her parents as she leaves the house and Obama at several points during their day together. But it’s pretty clear from the get-go that Barack hopes that, if it doesn’t start as a date, it will turn into one. Though he has invited her to a community meeting, he picks her up (in a rather hilariously crumbling car) several hours beforehand. He takes her to an art exhibit (where, charmingly, dorkily, he recites poetry) and tries to buy her lunch (she insists on paying for her sandwich). Along the way, they talk about themselves, their families (her tight family and their workhard ethic; his adventurous but flawed parents and his less conventional upbringing) and their professional aspirations. We see him clearly besotted with her, we see her warm to the idea that she can let herself like him. Their date is sweet if oddball and, wherever it might land on the historical accuracy spectrum, it backs up generally the picture of this couple that has been painted during eight-plus years in public life and countless chatty interviews (not to mention your recent Carpool Karaoke and your Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee appearances by Michelle and Barack, respectively). Sweet and oddball is a pretty accurate way to describe the movie itself. There are a lot of conversations about “making a difference” that feel a little too college-freshmen for these educated, worldly people but the spirit of them makes sense even if the way the scene is written doesn’t. (Would a woman trying to stay work-friends and a man trying to woo her really get all judgey about parents and life aspirations as these two do? On the first date?) Sumpter and Sawyers really do nail the Obamas’ speaking styles and each gets close enough to the appearance (particularly Sawyer) of their real-life characters that you do have to remind yourself you’re watching some kind of fictionalized account of real people, not the people themselves. Is this the real Obamas? I don’t know, but it is a sweet movie about a cute couple navigating issues of race, gender, class and their feelings toward each other at a particular moment in the late 1980s. B+ Rated PG-13 for brief strong language, smoking, a violent image and a drug reference. Written and directed by Richard Tanne, Southside With You is an hour and 24 minutes long and distributed by Miramax and Roadside Attractions.

NITE Beginnings Local music news & events
By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
• Birdseye flies: Sad news on the original live music scene as Mayer Kirby Mayer will perform the final show at Birdseye Lounge. In its one-year existence, the listening room welcomed a diverse range of music and comedy; with luck it will carry on. Venue managers wrote on Facebook, “We are hopeful we will find the right party to continue the mission.” Go Thursday, Sept. 8, at 9 p.m. at Birdseye Lounge, 41 Vaughan Mall, Portsmouth. Tickets $25-$28 at birdseyelounge.com. • Brotherly: Though the Allman Brothers Band has played its final show, Les Brers carries the torch. With ABB members Butch Trucks, Jaimoe, Oteil Burbridge and Marc Quinones, they perform fan favorites from the jam band. Guitarist Jack Pearson, frequent Bruce Katz on keys, singer Lamar Williams Jr. and guitarist Pat Bergeson round out the group. Go Thursday, Sept. 8, at 8 p.m. at Casino Ballroom, 169 Ocean Blvd., Hampton Beach. Tickets $24-$45 at casinoballroom.com. • Presidential: Featuring tight harmonies and crisp musicianship, The Van Burens are named after the seventh president, but he’s not the only U.S. head of state the Bostonbased quartet is concerned with. Check out “Punk Taft,” a tongue in cheek tribute to William Howard Taft – well, his girth anyway. It’s an irreverent history lesson, and a lot of pop fun besides. Go Friday, Sept. 9, at 9 p.m. at Village Trestle, 25 Main St., Goffstown. See villagetrestle.com. • Big pants: One of the funniest standup comics ever, Kevin Meaney performs an intimate show in the Lakes Region. Whether he’s riffing on his mother’s disapproval of tight pants or making fun of his own last name, the Boston by way of San Francisco comedian’s performance is an absolute hoot, and the opportunity to see him at a small venue should not be missed. Go Saturday, Sept. 10, at 8 p.m., at Pitman’s Freight Room, 94 New Salem St., Laconia. Tickets are $20 for the BYOB show at pitmansfreightroom.com. • Barroom howl: After a month of preliminaries, the New England’s Best Bar Comic Contest finalists are Kenny Ramey, Christopher Gagne, Jai Demeule, Alan Richardson, Bryan Muenzer, Ian Clark, Matt Miller, Peter Pardoe and Chad Blodgett. Each will attempt to engage an audience that can be challenging for a $500 cash prize, three paid spots and bragging rights for the next year. Go Monday, Sept. 12, at 8 p.m. at Penuche’s Ale House, 8 Pleasant St., Concord. See bit.ly/2bH4dCA. Want more ideas for a fun night out?

Gov’t Mule celebrates release of first-ever session By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
In 1994, two members of the Allman Brothers Band — guitarist Warren Haynes and bass player Allen Woody — recruited drummer Matt Abts for some casual jamming. With an initial set at The Palomino in Los Angeles, the seeds for Gov’t Mule were planted. A few weeks later, the three went into Tel-Star Studios in Florida. The sessions sparked record label interest; soon, the band recorded a debut album, but the demo tapes would sit on the shelf for over two decades. Warren Haynes recently talked by phone about the band’s beginnings, and the finally released Tel-Star Sessions. An edited version of the interview follows. What made you decide to put out TelStar Sessions now? I guess it was mostly the anniversary, because we never thought we’d make it two years, much less five, 10 or 20. When the 20th began approaching, we were talking about the possibilities for celebratory releases [and] during that same process, I went back and listened to the Tel-Star Sessions, always having fond memories of those sessions but not having heard them in a long time. Really found myself smiling throughout the entire listening session and in turn wanting to put this stuff out. Talk about the vibe in the studio. We’d been talking to Tom Dowd about the way they made the Cream records and he said part of that sound was the entire band set up in the same room with all of the mikes picking up all of the instruments. That’s the way we set up, and it’s a very old-school approach, but a lot of our favorite records were made that way. It has a unique sound. Matt and Allen were so locked in even though they hadn’t played together. Did that surprise you? Yeah, the first time they got together at the Palomino they had this instant chemistry that was so obvious. When we started the concept of Gov’t Mule being a Gov’t Mule When: Saturday, Sept. 10, 8 p.m. Where: Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S. Main St., Concord Tickets: $37.50 & $55 at ccanh.com

side project we went into what’s now the Big House, which is the Allman Brothers Museum in Macon, Georgia. It was a bed and breakfast run by our friends Kirk and Kristin West. We holed up there for a week or so and worked on material and rehearsed it and just kind of creating a vibe and hanging together [and] just kind of becoming a band, which is what it felt like was happening ... it happened so quickly. When I go back and listen to it now, I’m reminded very vividly of how it was – it was a short snapshot in time. Were you thinking in terms of getting bigger? Yeah, we were starting to think that, I had a manager [and] he sort of inherited Gov’t Mule and started saying, “I think you guys should think about a tour, making a little more out of this.” We’re starting to get some demand for this band that thought it wasn’t a band. It was the same thing with record companies – we went in thinking we’ll just pay for everything ourselves and do a very inexpensive independent record but then when it seemed like some labels were interested in taking it further than that we thought, maybe we should be planning all options. How many of the songs were first takes? I would say most of them ... to catch the kind of improvisation and excitement that we’re looking for – if you play it two or three times you’ve kind of exhausted that part of it. It’s really important for me
to capture those early takes.
What did stepping outside of the Allman Brothers Band mean? Well, at that time the band only worked about half the year or less so there was plenty of time for us to do whatever else we wanted to do [and] the Allman Brothers Band was starting to unravel at that point. The camaraderie was fading and individual band members were not getting along and it was starting to be questionable about whether or not the band was even going to continue, you know? The morale between Allen Woody and myself was very high and when we got Matt on board it just seemed like the opposite of what was going on in the Allman Brothers. We were hanging out together, writing music and it was a breath of fresh air. So it instantly started building its own momentum.
What are your thoughts on the Allman Brothers’ legacy? I think we all miss playing together, miss playing that music, but I think we all agree it was the right decision to stop touring when we did. Being part of the Allman Brothers was 25 years for me of being in one of my favorite bands. Even after 25 years, I still separate what I think of the Allman Brothers with the band that I was in for 25 years. Because the original band with Duane and Dickie and Berry Oakley was a big inspiration and influence for me and when I think of the Allman Brothers that’s what I think about.

The recently concluded Olympics included a few of the more obscure athletic endeavors (such as dressage for horses and steeplechase for humans), but U.S. colleges compete in even less-heralded “sports,” such as wood chopping, rock climbing, fishing and broomball. University of Alabama, 2015 national football champions, dominates also in the 280-school bass-fishing competition, and New York’s Paul Smith College’s 5,000-student campus raucously cheers its championship log-splitting team (against seven other schools).

• We now have computer or cellphone apps to, for example, analyze the quality of one’s kiss; alert you when your zipper is inadvertently down; make a refrigerator also be a stereo and photo album; notify you when you need to drink more water; check the male-female ratio at local bars so, if you’re on the prowl, you can plan your evening efficiently; and reveal whether your partner has had someone else in bed while you were away (via differential contours of the mattress). And then, in August, the creators of the new “South Park” virtual reality game announced that they had figured out how to release a “fart” smell that is crucial to game-players when they put on the VR mask. • Pizza Hut announced in August that it had finally mastered the technology to turn its cardboard delivery boxes into customers’ workable disk-jockey turntables and will make them available shortly in five stores in the United Kingdom. (Each box has two record decks, a cross-fader, pitch and cue controls, and the ability to rewind.) Music stars P Money and DJ Vectra are featured, and the boxes will sync via Bluetooth to phones and computers.
