Some of us have a hard time with titles. A New Yorker magazine cartoon caught this conundrum perfectly. A maître d’ of a fancy restaurant is on the phone: “Yes; I confirm that is a reservation for Dr. Thompson’s party of four at eight p.m. Might I inquire, is Dr. Thompson a bona fide physician or merely a Ph.D.?” Inflation these days takes many forms: the padding of resumes, the ghost-writing of essays in application to prestigious colleges, exuberant letters of reference and, of course, generous use of superlative adjectival forms in describing one’s accomplishments. In days long past, when standard dictionaries of the English language included sections setting out the correct form of address when writing to or addressing in person an individual carrying a title, many scrupulously observed its dictums. It stipulated the proper way to address the envelope, to write the salutation and, if necessary, to speak to the person for the first time in the flesh. The differences were subtle between a Roman Catholic bishop and an Anglican one, between a U.S. senator and a member of a state Senate, between a peer of the realm and a member of the nobility. But today, such protocols are rarely cited. What do these titles and forms of address tell us? Do they speak to the dignity of the office, the achievements of the person currently holding the office, or the nobility and characteristics of the office to which the current holder should aspire? When I address a cleric as “Your Grace” or “Your Excellency,” am I acknowledging their personal virtues, the office they hold, or just rote custom? Years ago, and in another place, I was appointed president of a university after having served several years as a senior administrator. Till then, I’d always been “Steve” to everyone. But in the local supermarket, a distinguished faculty member, with whom I’d been close friends, addressed me as “Mr. President.” I bristled at the salutation and he replied: “Then you were Steve; now you are our president. In calling you by your title, we remind you of your responsibilities as well as ours to you.” Among the principal teachings of Confucius was the Doctrine of the Rectification of Names. “If names be correct, there will be order in the world.” Implicit in that teaching was that individuals holding a titled office would live up to the dignity of that office and thus bring edification to it and service to the people. Our hope as Americans is that all who will soon hold office will aspire to the virtues and behaviors that the titles of those offices confer.

NEWS & NOTES Gov. Sununu

On Jan. 5, Republican Chris Sununu was sworn in as New Hampshire’s 82nd governor and, at 42 years old, the youngest governor in the country. His father, John E. Sununu, was governor in the 1980s and his brother John E. Sununu was U.S. senator between 2003 and 2009. After being sworn in, Gov. Chris Sununu invited New England Arm Wrestling Champion Cathy Merrill to read the traditional Robert Frost poem. The former executive councilor gave a 20-minute inaugural address, in which he called on the legislature to put aside partisan bickering to solve the state’s most pressing issues, including the drug crisis. He laid out his priorities, such as creating a more business-friendly state, developing and retaining the state’s workforce, tamping down healthcare and energy costs and reforming the education system. In response to a recent scathing report on the state’s child protection agency, Sununu called for action, saying, “I call on this legislature … to act without delay, address the increasing caseload of our social workers, correct the regulatory framework in our system and let’s make sure our kids are safe.” He promised a 90-day moratorium on all rules and regulations in state agencies so policy-makers can vet and winnow the rules. The pause was issued as a letter to the heads of each state agency the same day as the inauguration. In addition to suspending regulations in the works, the letter asked agency heads to prepare reports on all existing and proposed regulations to be presented to the governor and Executive Council with demonstrations of need and efficacy for each regulation.

Family law

Though Republican leadership had slated the Children and Family Law Committee for the chopping block, they could not get the majority needed to eliminate the committee in the face of Democratic opposition. According to a press release from the House Democratic Office, the House voted 196 to 172 to retain the committee, which reviews any bills related to divorce, child custody, criminal laws for minors and child protection. Democrats were joined by 35 Republicans who voted with

them not to do away with the committee. Speaker Shawn Jasper had said he thinks the body is ineffective since each member has a personal stake in the systems the committee addresses. Following the vote, Jasper reassigned Democratic members who spoke out against eliminating the committee to the newly revived committee. This act was described as “vindictive” by House Minority Leader Steve Shurtleff in a subsequent press release because it removed certain Democrats from ranking positions in key committees such as finance and education.

First bills

Of the hundreds of bills the state legislature is beginning work on, among the most controversial are bills that would change the rules around labor union dues and repeal the state’s concealed carry firearm license requirement. The gun bill, proposed in the Senate by Majority Leader Jeb Bradley, is similar to a bill that was vetoed twice by former Gov. Maggie Hassan. Gov. Chris Sununu said he would sign such a bill. If it becomes law, handgun owners will no longer be required to obtain a license to carry the handguns concealed on their person or in their vehicle, unless otherwise prohibited. It is the only form of firearms regulation in the state, aside from federal regulations. The so-called Right-to-Work bill would allow employees to opt out of union dues if they don’t wish to participate in the union. Unions and other opponents to the bill say it is designed to weaken unions’ bargaining power and creates a freeloader effect for those enjoying the residual advantages of the union. Supporters say it gives workers a choice to keep more of their paycheck.

Hospital deals

The three-way partnership between Catholic Medical Center, Huggins Hospital and Monadnock Community Hospital known as GraniteOne Health is now underway. According to a press release, the umbrella organization was approved by the state’s Antitrust Bureau and the boards of the three hospitals approved the GraniteOne Board of Trustees. The alliance is designed to improve value to patients, foster clinical relationships

HIPPO | JANUARY 12 - 18, 2017 | PAGE 4

and establish economies of scale. Meanwhile, Massachusetts General Hospital officially acquired Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover at the start of the month. NHPR reported the two hospitals have been clinical partners since 2008. Mass. General’s parent company, Partners Healthcare, bought up a large chunk of the Bay State’s market share and was investigated by the federal government for allegedly pushing up the cost of health care.

REAL ID

CONCORD

People in mental health or addiction crisis who call 911 in Concord will now be delivered by ambulance to Riverbend Community Mental Hooksett Health’s urgent care services instead of the hospital ER, except in extreme cases, the Concord Monitor reported. The Goffstown Concord fire chief said it wouldn’t be possible to do a Safe Stations program like Manchester and Nashua because some stations might be unmanned, MANCHESTER under-resourced or too far to reach.

Nashua where Brady SulNASHUA livan has plans to renovate and convert the building into apartments, according to the Telegraph of Nashua.

The state Department of Safety announced in a press release that the Division of Motor Vehicles has begun to offer REAL ID compliant driver’s licenses. REAL ID is a federal rule that came after 9/11 meant to improve airport safety. New Hampshire is one of the last states to implement it. State law does not require residents to get a REAL ID card, which requires a photo and Social Security number be logged in the DMV database. Drivers must opt in to get the REAL ID card, which will enable air travel and access to federal buildings after Oct. 1, 2020. A passport would be required otherwise. People in the state will have an opportunity to get the new card during their regular renewal period time in service a “gift” and praised before it’s required at airports. the department’s efforts on innovating education, saying their work helped to change thinking around Department of Ed Virginia Barry, the commissioner public education at the national of the state Department of Educa- level.

FIRST ROBOTICS

Dollar General has reached a new phase in trying to get a store built in Boscawen. The Concord Monitor reported after eight months of revisions, zoning board hearings and denied variances, the company returned to the planning board for the site plan process.

High school FIRST robotics teams from across the state gathered for the national kickoff event at Southern New Hampshire University, according to an article in the Telegraph of Nashua. The event was officiated by Sen. Maggie Hassan, Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas and FIRST founder Dean Kamen. The ceremony included the unveiling of this year’s challenge and was livestreamed to other teams around the world, according to the article. The steampunk-themed season is dubbed “FIRST STEAMWORKS” and it breaks from a few steadfast norms, primarily with the inclusion of human participation on the field.

Flock Survey kicked off last weekend and will last through March 31, the AP reported. Residents are welcome to volunteer in the survey and New Hampshire Fish and Game is asking volunteers to report sightings in an online form with information such as the number of turkeys seen, the location and what they were eating. Wildlife officials received more than 2,000 reports last year about nearly 38,000 turkeys.

VA FLU CASES

Two residents at the Manchester Veterans Administration Medical Center’s Community Living Center tested positive for influenza after a number of residents began displaying flu-like symptoms, according to a press release. In response, Manchester VA officials restricted access to the CLC and Palliative Care Unit until further notice. Outpatient services continued as normal and patients were still welcome to come to the medical center for appointments but visitors to the CLC and PCU were asked to delay their visits until it was safe. The outbreak and restrictions were announced on Jan. 5; restrictions were lifted on Jan. 10.

Larger than the painted turtle, smaller than the snapping turtle, New Hampshire’s wood turtle has been a protected species since 2008. Now, efforts are underway to ensure the shelled amphibian doesn’t get upgraded from “species of concern” to “threatened species.” New Hampshire Fish and Game wildlife biologist Michael Marchand specializes in nongame and endangered species in the state. He said that while wood turtles have some healthy populations in parts of the state, their numbers have dropped significantly over the years due largely to human interference either through road and agricultural development or through poaching. “There are old historic records of wood turtles being among the most abundant turtles in New Hampshire and New England. That’s just not the case anymore,” Marchand said. He said the 9-inch-long wood turtles are moderately sized by New Hampshire standards with a bright orange neck and legs. “People consider them pretty attractive, which also gets them into trouble,” Marchand said. Poachers have been known to collect wood turtles to sell them out of state to people who want them as pets. Owning or collecting wood turtles is illegal in New Hampshire and many other Northeast states. They are different from most other turtle species in the area in that they prefer to live in and around rivers and streams. Other species can be less picky about which types of watersheds they take up residence in. Wood turtles also prefer low-level plant cover in the forests where they tend to roam during the summer months. “If you picture a turtle being six inches off the ground, they’re looking to be very concealed and hide,” Marchand said. So when a river or stream is obstructed by development or shrubs are mowed

to make way for farmland, their habitat shrinks. The constraints on their habitat are half of the problem. Turtles are evolved to live long adult lives and reproduce frequently, while a small fraction of turtle babies survive into adulthood. They live long lives, to as old as 60 to 90 years, and they’re reproducing that whole time. “The reason they’re in such trouble is they depend on extremely high survival rates for the adults,” Marchand said. “They can lay eggs up until the point they die. … So an 80-year-old female turtle can lay as many or more eggs than a 20-year-old turtle.” So if even one adult turtle is struck by an automobile or stolen by a poacher, that can have far-reaching and long-lasting impacts on the larger turtle population. Marchand said the habitats in the states south of New Hampshire have been greatly diminished. Some have suffered here too, but more remain. “New Hampshire and Maine have some of the best remaining habitats in the Northeast. So we have a really high responsibility for the species at a global level,” Marchand said. To make sure existing wood turtle populations thrive and grow, Marchand is working with counterparts in neighboring states to gather data that can be used to develop a regional conservation plan for the species due later this year. That includes studying populations — there are at least five thriving populations identified with about 30 individual turtles each in the state — and analyzing the genetic profile of each population. The latter will help them understand the relative uniqueness and diversity of populations, which will be critical in determining whether to relocate any turtles and, if so, to what destinations. Officials will also likely work with landowners to make sure habitats are safe by adding buffers along rivers and perhaps creating new conservation land.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Drought conditions improve

With the help of recent precipitation, New Hampshire moved from extreme drought to merely severe drought, according to WMUR. State climatologist Mary Stampone said the state’s rivers and streams are flowing more normally thanks to recent rain and snow. However, residents’ wells may not yet be recovered from water shortages since it will take longer than usual for the ground to absorb the water. QOL Score: +1 Comment: QOL hopes the drought conditions continue to improve but is grateful for the drought’s role in killing off a lot of black-legged ticks.

Fungus-resistant bats

For the first time, researchers have found signs of bats that have developed an immunity to the devastating fungus that causes white nose syndrome. According to a press release from the University of New Hampshire, UNH researchers found that some little brown bats in New York, where the fungus was first introduced, have developed a natural resistance to the fungus, which explains why their populations are no longer seeing declines. The little brown bat population is about 10 percent what it was before the outbreak of white nose syndrome that began in 2006. It is still unknown what mechanism enables the resistance, whether it’s internal immunity, skin microbes or behaviors. QOL Score: +1 Comment: While it’s good news for some populations of little brown bat, there’s still no sign that other bat species like the northern longeared bat are able to persist with this disease.

NH hiking record

New Hampshire hiker Sue Johnston of Littleton set Granite State hiking history in 2016 by completing The Grid in one calendar year. The Grid is a hiking challenge that involves completing all of New Hampshire’s 4,000 footers in each of the 12 months. Only 70 have completed that list, according to a story in the Concord Monitor, and until now, nobody had ever completed it in consecutive months. In total, the hiking challenge comprises 576 peaks. QOL Score: +1 Comment: Johnston’s hiking and running resume also includes the Appalachian Trail hike, 26 100-mile races and more than a dozen Long Trail hikes.

Concord kids make a change

Thanks to a handful of civically-engaged fourth graders, two stop signs will be installed next to the Christa McAuliffe School, at the only four-way intersection on Warren Street that isn’t a four-way stop. According to a story in The Concord Monitor, it all started with a persuasive writing assignment issued last April by their third grade teacher Bonnie Larochelle. Their recommendation, signed by 18 students, was received by the city May 11 and a decision was made by the city council in December. QOL Score: +1 Comment: City engineer and Traffic Operations Chairman Rob Mack said in the story the intersection didn’t appear dangerous statistically, but its nature at the corner of the school made it stand out from other intersections in the neighborhood. QOL score: 50 Net change: +4 QOL this week: 54 What’s affecting your Quality of Life here in New Hampshire? Let us know at news@hippopress.com.

If that’s for YOU, give me a call. I’ll get the job done!

The Houston Texans will be wearing the black hats at Gillette on Saturday when the Patriots begin their latest push for the Super Bowl. If they get there, it will be the seventh time since 2001 and a win gives Coach B a record five titles as HC of the NEPs. It would also, according to my humble definition, make them an official NFL dynasty. But a desired result like that only comes one game at a time. So let’s look at what lies in Step 1 vs Houston. Trash Talk Tip of the Week: To anyone in the Victor Cruz vein: If you’re going to talk smack about how the Patriots “don’t want any part” of your team, it’s a good idea not to get humiliated two games before you actually get to face them, as Cruz and the guy New York media makes out to be the greatest wide receiver in the history of the universe did when they combined for a clutch 58 receiving yards in a 38-13 rout by Green Bay. Houston History: The last time Houston won was in the horrid 2009 season when Wes Welker blew out his knee as the Bernard Pollard Patriot Curse began to take hold. The Pats were then run over 33-16 by Baltimore the next week in their worst postseason loss of the Belichick-Brady era. But since, the Pats have won the last five meetings by an average score of 34-15, with all but one being major beatdowns. Most will say another one is coming on Saturday. But I’m one who hates overconfidence and doesn’t put much stock in streaks outside of the most recent game. That was an, errr, not as close as it looked 27-0 Week 3 beatdown with third-stringer Jacoby Brissett the quarterback. An Overconfident Nation: As much as I hate to admit it, given what we saw from Houston in Week 3 and through a year

dominated by their crazy QB situation, it’s not hard to see why they’re 16-point underdogs. But after this great 15-year run, the arrogance around here (“the only way they won’t roll to the Super Bowl is if they beat themselves, blah, blah, blah …,” as if no other team is any good) can be a bit much. So, is it possible, in an environment like that, a playoff game could actually be a trap game? That’s what happened to the supremely overconfident Baltimore Colts when they got dumped by the 17-point underdog Jets in SB III, and don’t ask about that first quarter in the ’09 playoffs. Hopefully they start clean to send them on their way. Biggest Question Mark: Allowing the fewest points says the Patriots have the best defense in the NFL. But given the incredible spate of less than mediocre to downright embarrassing quarterbacks they’ve faced all year, it’s hard to get a true assessment of how good the defense is. For instance, after a great start vs. Miami, the Dolphins moved the ball at will with underneath crossing patterns from the second quarter on until a Devin McCourty hit caused a game-icing turnover. So, while acknowledging that how many you give up is most important, they still give up a lot of yards. And while that may be a scheme thing, it makes me wonder: If they really need to get the ball back with the clock running down at the end of the game, can they do it against a good QB? Most Optimistic Sign: The big point of that McCourty strip of Jarvis Landry is that, after an absence of a season and a half, that most important part of the Patriots game has returned of late. Turnovers are a big key to the Patriots’ defensive strategy and, as we all know, they are the biggest difference-maker in the playoffs. So getting 14 of their 23 overall TOs the last six games is a very good sign. Game Key 1 – The Offensive Line: The two-step formula for beating the Patriots is

to stuff the run or mess up the timing on the short drop throws to win on first down. Second would be for edge rushers Jadeveon Clowney, Whitney Mercilus and Benardrick McKinney (18.5 combined sacks) to get in Tom Brady’s face when he needs more time to throw downfield on third and long. So the offensive line must keep Brady clean to make Houston pay and it wouldn’t hurt to win first down on the ground to make play action passing more believable. If that’s done, they will score. Game Key 2 – Field Position: The defensive strategy is to force long drives because more times than not they eventually run out of steam or lead to field position producing TOs. Part of that depends on creating a long field for the other guy. So even when they don’t score Brady needs to string first downs together, so they’re punting to pin Houston inside their 20. Or keep the turnovers coming, which keeps points off the board, provide shorter fields, or both, like Shea McClellin running 68 yards with the recovery after the McCourty strip in Miami. Game Key 3 – Make Brock Osweiler Beat Them: Given that he does have leading a 14-point fourth-quarter comeback versus New England in the memory bank, which gave Denver the win that ultimately decided home field in the 2015 AFC title game, he knows he can do it. But after this year (15 TD passes/16 picks) confidence is an issue, so luring him into a few early mistakes should mess with his head. Game Key 4 – Cyrus Jones: Don’t let him in the building, as after seeing special teams fumbles turn the win vs. Houston into a blowout, what should have been a beatdown of Baltimore into a scary ending and momentum instantly turned into the stunning loss to Osweiler, special team turnovers are particular killers in big games. Prediction: It’ll be a KC-NE AFC title game after the Patriots win 27-9. Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress. com.

Bonner hangs them up The Big Story: Matt Bonner announced his retirement last week in a self-deprecatingly funny YouTube video that epitomized how impressively humbly he carried himself during his time in the NBA — 12-year career that peaked in 2008-09 when he got 67 starts for the NBA’s version of what the Patriots are to the NFL. New Hampshire’s greatest basketball player ever goes into the books having played in one NCAA title game, won two NBA rings and attained a 41.5 lifetime three-point percentage, for 14th place of all time. Sports 101: In honor of Bonner’s place as a three-point shooter: Who is the guy 13 places ahead of him as the all-time leader in three-point shooting percentage in NBA history? Nick of Tyme Award: To Trinity’s Vinnie Barbuzzi for scoring with 1:59 left in regulation to give Trinity their first hockey win 4-3 over Memorial at Westside Arena. Unbelievable Stat of the Week: To the Bedford defense after Merrimack scored just 13 points in Bedford’s 50-13 win. Bedford’s defense stashed their usual manto-man in the top drawer in favor of a middle clogging zone to force the T-Hawks to a more outside game, and it worked.

The Numbers

5 – different players scored for Bedford in an 8-0 rout of Londonderry in NHIAA hockey action led by Griffin Gagne’s hat trick and two assists, while Jay Roberto handed out three more to go with a goal. 9 – made free throws in 10 tries for Maddy Haynes to lead Trinity to a 52-48 win over Merrimack. 10 – shots made from

Meanwhile Troy Meservey outscored Merrimack by himself with a game-high 17. Alumni News: It didn’t take ex-Central QB Ryan Day long to find work. A day after he was out with boss Chip Kelly in San Francisco, he was on to his fourth job in four years after being named quarterback coach at Ohio State under former boss Urban Meyer. Working Press Line of the Week: It comes from ESPN.com New York Jets beat writer in his year-end summary of the season put in by the J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets, “Even by Jets standards, this was an alltime stinker.” Sports 101 Answer: Fittingly, Golden State Coach Steve Kerr’s 45.5 percent made shots from downtown makes him the NBA’s all-time three-point percentage leader. On This Date – Jan. 12: 1921 – Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis becomes the first baseball commissioner. 1944 – future Olympic gold medal winner, heavyweight champion and great Muhammad Ali rival Joe Frazier is born in Beaufort, South Carolina. 1995 – With OJ Simpson charged with two counts of capital murder the trial (and circus) of the century begins in L.A.

Sports Glossary

Josh McDaniel moves on to a head job elsewhere. 26 – game-high points from Emily Keefe in leading West to a 47-29 blowout of Timberlane when the stingy Blue Knights defense helped keep the Owls to a single point in the decisive third period. 30 – points scored by Goffstown’s Kelly Walsh in a 63-44 G-Town win over Plymouth.

Dastardly Bernard Pollard: One-man wrecking crew vs. the Patriots with the following plays on the resume. (1) Tore Tom Brady’s ACL on a crawling, rolling low hit in the 2008 season opener playing for KC. (2) Was next to Wes Welker as he blew out his knee making a cut vs. Houston in ’09. (3) Awkwardly dragged Gronk down from behind in the 2011 AFC title game vs. Baltimore causing the dreaded high ankle sprain that rendered him useless in the SB vs. the Giants. (4) Knocked Stevan Ridley out cold with a crushing blow to cause the fumble that turned the tide for the Ravens in the 2013 AFC title game. NFL Dynasty: Despite the claims of ’90s Dallas and early NE fans who hijacked the phrase to give themselves a needed self-esteem-building moment, the term does not mean winning three times in four years. Instead it’s the league-wide greatest over a sustained period when the team in question wins multiple titles like the five won by the Packers in the 1960s and like the 49ers did from the early ’80s. Wes Welker: One-time Patriots great thrown overboard by Coach B after a 2013 contract squabble in 2013 after a terrific 112-catch season. But with the catches going from 73 to 49 to 13 to retirement it was just another case of Bill being right (and I was wrong). But while he probably won’t get to the Hall Hall, after five seasons of 110 catches or more he certainly belong in the Patriots Hall of Fame.

More than 60 wine personalities from around the globe make the wintry voyage to the Granite State every year to participate in New Hampshire Wine Week, providing an opportunity for wine aficionados, casual wine drinkers and the wine-curious to learn from the winemakers themselves about what’s available in New Hampshire. “We have a large wine consumer base in New Hampshire that really enjoys wine, and people in the wine industry from around the world are taking notice,” said Nicole Brassard-Jordan, director of marketing, merchandising and warehousing for the New Hampshire Liquor Commission, which organizes the event. “Winemakers feel like our consumers are genuinely interested in how the wines are made and the stories behind them, so they enjoy spending time here at Wine Week, and they feel like it’s time well spent.” From Monday, Jan. 23, through Sunday, Jan. 29, there will be wine tastings, wine pairing dinners, bottle signings, educational seminars and more happening throughout the state.

Spectacular event

The week centers around the annual Easterseals Winter Wine Spectacular, an expo-style grand tasting of wine and food, on Thursday, Jan. 26, at the Radisson Hotel

HIPPO | JANUARY 12 - 18, 2017 | PAGE 12

Manchester Downtown. With over 1,300 wines and 1,500 attendees last year, the Winter Wine Spectacular has become the largest wine event in northern New England, and it’s going to be even bigger this year. “We’ll be expanding [from the ballroom] into the big expo room, which means we have space for more guests and wine and restaurant tables,” Easterseals New Hampshire Senior Director of Events and Corporate Relations Christine Pederson said. “So everyone who attended in the past, come this year and you are going to see more wine and food than ever before.” A wide spectrum of wines will be represented at the Winter Wine Spectacular, including red, white, rosé, sparkling and fruit wines from big and small producers, from various wine regions and in a range of prices. The event will also feature silent auctions and raffles for wine-related and other items, plus the Bellman Cellar Select VIP tasting room (sold out), where a limited number of guests will be granted exclusive access to some of the most high-end wines and food from local restaurants that are not available in the main tasting room. Pederson said she’s especially excited about the lineup of winemakers who will be at the event talking with consumers. “We get some really wonderful personalities, and they’re so passionate about wine. There are some who are fourth- or fifth-generation winemakers at a winery and they like to come talk about that family history behind

it,” she said. “I think it’s amazing this New Hampshire event held in the dead of winter is attracting these wine all-stars from around the world.”

A look at the winemakers

Christof Hoepler of Hoepler Winery in Austria will be attending New Hampshire Wine Week for the first time this year. Since he took over the winery from his father 10 years ago he’s been involved in every aspect of the business, and he’s excited to come talk about everything that goes into producing the Hoepler wines that New Hampshire consumers enjoy. “I am a farmer, a businessman, the CEO, a salesman, head winemaker, chief strategist, head of technology, head of customer service, manager of 15 employees,” he said, “and throughout all of this I can never forget the soil, the grapes, the seasons and every minute detail and sensitivity that is required to connect these dots together to produce excellent wines.” Austrian wines are made in a cool climate and are typically light and fresh with high acidity. Because Austria doesn’t mass-produce its wines, Hoepler said, they are a truer reflection of the climate, region and year in which they’re produced than wines produced in many other regions. Hoepler Winery’s location on the Leithaberg Hills and banks of Lake Neusiedl has a unique climate and many different soil profiles, which allows Hoepler to harvest a variety of grapes to pro-

duce white, red, dessert and rosé wines, all at a high quality level. Most wineries in Austria, Hoepler said, can only produce a narrow selection of wines. Historically, Austrian wines haven’t had much of a presence on the international market, but Brassard-Jordan said she’s seen a recent influx of Austrian wines in New Hampshire that a small but growing customer base is excited about. Hoepler said now is an opportune time for people to start exploring Austrian wines. “The lack of awareness of both our [Austrian] wine heritage and quality by global consumers means that those in the know or open to trying something new get a fantastic price-quality payback,” he said. Fans of California wines will find a number of brands at New Hampshire Wine Week. Chris Benziger of Benziger Family Winery in Sonoma County will be returning for his second year at the event and said he’s looking forward to sharing his wine knowledge. “There will be a lot of agents and sales reps there, but if you want to talk to the real deal — someone who has been in the business for 35 years, who grew up farming and EASTERSEALS WINTER WINE SPECTACULAR When: Thursday, Jan. 26, 6 to 9 p.m. Where: Radisson Hotel Manchester Downtown, 700 Elm St., Manchester Cost: $65.

New Hampshire Wine Week will feature wines produced locally, too. Lewis Eaton, president of the New Hampshire Winery Association, said many local wineries look forward to Wine Week as their pinnacle event of the year. “It’s a big focus for us,” he said. “We talk about it in our meetings, about how important it is participate and to showcase local wines. It’s a good time to pump up all the Winery Association members, which is cool. I love that.” Eaton is also the owner and winemaker of Sweet Baby Vineyard in Hampstead and has been part of New Hampshire Wine Week since he opened the business in 2008. He said that in his experience with the event, he has seen New Hampshire winemakers contribute a style of wine that no other winemakers bring to the event. “People see a lot of varietals that they recognize, but when they see our fruit wines, they’re usually a little surprised but eager to try them out because it’s something different,” he said. “We grow great native fruits here with a lot of flavor. It can’t be compared to anything else in the world. I think our fruit wines have as much character as our weather.”

has dirt under their fingernails, so to speak — this is your chance to,” he said. Jon Emmerich of Silverado Vineyards will be coming from the other major wine region of California, the Napa Valley. He said he brings a unique perspective to Wine Week because he and his small staff do every step of their wine production in-house, from growing the grapes to producing and bottling the wines, a practice not typical of wineries the size of Silverado, which has an annual production of 75,000 cases. What will distinguish California winemakers from those of other regions at Wine Week, Emmerich said, is their innovative spirit. “In general, California winemakers are willing to look at new ideas and embrace new technology and new processes quickly,” he said. “I think that sets us apart. We aren’t stuck in a certain mindset and beholden to stodgy ideas about how wine should be made like some of the older wine regions. Many wine regions from around the world look at California and say, ‘Wow, those guys are dynamic.’” For Benziger, California is “the land of milk and honey” for making wine. “I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but we can make everything well here,” he said. “We have this incredible weather, and our geography is second to none for growing high-quality grapes.”

enthusiastic interest in the origin of wines, particularly a wine’s terroir and how capturing that can allow the consumer to experience another part of the world. “There are always these waves that go through the wine industry,” he said. “In the past it was all about superstar winemakers, but right now the focus seems to be on feeling a sense of place. I think you’ll see when you talk to the winemakers how they’re trying to give that to people. They’re telling their story and trying to capture what is unique about their little space in the world and reflect that in a bottle.” Benziger said that he too has noticed people’s growing curiosity about the backstory of the wines they’re drinking, particularly related to the farming and winemaking practices used to produce the wines. He’ll give a seminar during Wine Week about his winery’s method of biodynamic farming, a type of organic farming that aims to coexist with the natural state of the land. “We want to give our wine a deeper sense of place and a true sense of authenticity,” •BENZIGER FAMILY WINERY Bottle signing and wine tasting with Chris Benziger of Benziger Family Winery.

that trend is, people don’t mind spending on a quality product. They understand that it costs a little more for a local product to be produced, but they like knowing that their money is going to a place that they can go visit.” As people look for additional ways to experience and engage with wine, wine and food pairings are also growing in popularity. Hoepler said he has noticed lighter wines, particularly rosé wines, come to the forefront to complement current food trends. “The consumer is more and more eager to learn and experiment,” he said. “They enjoy pairing wines with food, and as food becomes more healthy and fresh, this plays to a fresher, lighter wine that enhances, not dominates the meal.”

In this second part of the four-week Look Good, Feel Great series, we take a look at quick ways to upgrade your diet. Local experts talk about starting your day off strong with a hearty, healthy breakfast; why a detox might be right for you; the superfoods you should be eating; and how to get your kids to choose carrots over cookies. Remember, before making any significant changes to your diet, talk to your doctor to make sure it’s right for you.

Breakfasts for champions Quick fixes to start your day right By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Every morning you have a chance to start your day with healthy food choices. Here are a few quick ways to make that happen.

Plenty of protein

It’s OK to eat carbohydrate-rich foods like bagels or toast for breakfast, but even better to supplement those foods with a great source of protein, like eggs or milk. “Protein takes longer to digest than carbohydrates, so it helps to sustain you and make you full longer,” said Julie Izsak, owner of Bedford Nutrition and a registered dietician. “If you’re already eating protein foods for lunch and dinner too, then eating protein foods for breakfast will also help to keep your energy level constant throughout the day. … The problem with [eating just] carbohydrates is that it makes your energy level go up and come right back down, and you crash.” There are tons of ways to make eggs, and turkey sausage or turkey bacon can

up your protein too. If you really want that toast or bagel, top it with a nut butter instead of jelly. And if you’re in a hurry, Izsak said yogurt is also an excellent source of protein — especially Greek yogurt, which often has double the amount of protein of regular yogurt.

Don’t sugarcoat it

If you do reach for yogurt, stay away from syrupy flavored yogurts, Izsak said, because they can be loaded with sugar. Foods with processed sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup can often contain excessive levels of sugar and make you hungrier again faster. “The best thing to do would be to go with a plain or a vanilla flavored yogurt and then add your own fruits or nuts to it,” Izsak said. “You can mix it with either fresh or frozen juice, or chopped up nuts or granola, which makes a quick and healthy breakfast, or add a small amount of organic maple syrup if you want to sweeten it a bit.” Traci Komorek of Fresh Roots Nutrition

in Concord said about four to six grams of sugar per serving is a good rule of thumb when selecting any type of cereal or granola for breakfast. “Foods like instant oatmeal and processed cereals … often will only increase your appetite for sugar,” Komorek said. “A meal should make you full for three to four hours or it’s not balanced or significant enough.” If you need a little sweetness, you can add fruit to your meal — but that means real fruit. While both fresh fruit and fruit juices contain natural sugar, Izsak said using fruit in its natural state is better when making recipes like fruit smoothies for breakfast. “It’s very easy to drink four ounces of juice, but you’re not getting fiber that would be in fresh or frozen fruit to help you slow down your digestion, and so you get hungry quicker,” she said. Izsak said another tip is to stay away from “juice drinks” like Hi-C because of the added sugar in them. She suggested looking for labels on juices that say “no added sugars” or “all natural sugar” and

limiting your intake to four ounces per day.

Cereal succession

Cereal may be one of the quickest and most accessible options for breakfast, but it’s not always the healthiest. “The more processed the food is, the faster it is to digest, and it raises your blood sugar faster,” said Kim Dorval, owner of Nutrition in Motion. “The problem with cereal is that it is very lightweight and you can easily overeat it. … One serving of most cereals, which you can hold in your hands, is like 30 grams, and that can be contrasted with, say, a quart of strawberries. So it’s not just the processing, but the weight of it.” Dorval said choosing a cereal with added protein or added fiber, like Kashi or Special K, helps to slow your digestion down. But, she said, whole unprocessed foods like eggs or fruits are still better than any kind of cereal. “You can even sprinkle cereal on top of yogurt if you still want to eat it but also want to control your intake amount,” she said.

Supercharge your diet How to make the most of superfoods

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

You don’t have to adopt a whole new diet to eat healthier this year. Simple modifications like adding a handful of berries to your yogurt can go a long way, especially if you know what foods give you the most bang for your buck. More than just “healthy” foods, superfoods are especially dense in one or multiple types of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and polyphenols. “They’re considered ‘super’ because they provide a variety of health benefits such as prolonged life, provide you with more energy and reduce and avoid diseases,” said health coach Allison LelA day of superfood Check out these recipes featuring superfoods, courtesy of Allison Lellos.

What they are

Lellos said many people associate superfoods with exotic or specialty items like matcha and acai, but most superfoods are actually common items that you can find at any grocery store. They may even be a part of your diet already. Some “staple superfoods” that are commonly available and easy to add to any diet include fruits like blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, tomatoes and avocados; veggies like spinach and kale, lentils and black beans, sweet potatoes, mushrooms 22

WHAT THE FIT?!

Naturally, it’s easier to pair superfoods with a healthy diet than an unhealthy diet, so the best approach, Lellos said, is to focus on having a healthy and balanced diet first, then work superfoods into that mold. For example, if your goal is to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, think about ways you can fulfill some of those using superfoods. That way, you’re getting the basic benefits of eating a sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables in addition to the benefits from the superfoods. Also keep in mind that different superfoods provide different kinds of nutrition, so you need to eat a variety of them to reap the full range of health benefits. “You could get your antioxidants from

blueberries or green tea, but your probiotics from Greek yogurt and your iron and calcium from kale,” Lellos said. “They all have different qualities, so it’s important to mix them up. We need a multitude of color on our plates, even with superfood.” The best strategy for maintaining superfoods in your diet long term, Lellos said, is to make them convenient to use, stick with small changes and keep your diet fresh and exciting. Try dedicating one day a week to preparing superfoods in bulk so that they’re accessible to you throughout the week and easy to mix and match with your regular meals. You can make things even simpler by planning meals like stir-frys, salads, soups and stews, which are easy to add superfood ingredients to. One of the perks of superfoods, Lellos said, is that you don’t have to make drastic changes to your diet or come up with elaborate new recipes to get the health benefits. And if you start falling into a rut with the same foods, she said, it’s easy enough to get creative with new ways to use superfoods.

minutes. Add water and lentils to the pot and bring to a boil. Add carrots, broccoli and oregano. Stir, cover the pot and set to low for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, or until liquid is gone (stirring occasionally). If lentils are not tender, add 1 cup of water and continue cooking on low. Once lentils are tender, add handful of spinach, stir and cover the pot until spinach has softened. Serve with a dash of cheese on top if you like, and add salt to taste.

For people looking to quickly revamp their diet, one way to start fresh is with what experts call a detox. “[Clients] see immediate results,” Jaclyn Lee, a registered dietician with Nutrition in Motion in Bedford, said via phone. “They have less bloating. They’re thinking clearer, sleeping better at night and have more energy.” She said clients typically come to her about detoxing because they want to get their cravings under control. “Their food choices haven’t been great for some length of time, and it’s snowballed,” Lee said via phone. “Lots of people going through our weight watcher program start with a detox. … It’s

because if you detox with carbs, protein and fat, it will normalize your blood sugar, and you won’t have the spikes and falls.”

The first couple days can be rough, particularly if you’re abstaining from caffeine (which is what Taylor advises; Lee said she typically limits clients to one black coffee a day). By Day 3 or 4, you should see a result. “A lot of people talk about how they had great sleep with vivid dreams,” Taylor said. “The biggest thing is their energy level that comes back. They might not be having cravings for sugar and carbs. Pain in their joints — that’s gone. I’ve also heard of women who had less cramping and lighter periods.” Both women advised limiting detoxes to a couple times a year. Afterward, it’s important to phase foods back in slowly. “The only thing you don’t want to do is follow a detox for two days and then on the third day go totally off it and have sweets or do something dramatically different,” Lee said.

What you eat on a detox can be flexible, Lee said, but generally, it involves eating simple, natural foods with a balance of healthy protein, carbohydrates and fats. Eliminate processed foods or foods that may cause inflammation for some people, such as gluten, dairy and sugar, Lee said. Detoxes should also be high in fiber (through fruits and vegetables, particularly ones rich in vitamins and sulfur) and water — about half your body weight in ounces per day. They can last anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks, though both dietitians advised getting professional advice before detoxing, as it could have a negative effect depending on health history and the medication or supplements you’re taking. Some people can jump right in, while others need to make slow adjustments. “It’s a much safer way to detox than juicing or fasting. In those, you’re not giving your body a balance of the three macronutrients — carbs, fat, protein,” Lee said. “What I see out there is that there are more detoxes out there that are a bit heavy on the carbs. … For example, juicing is all carbohydrates.” Heather Taylor, registered dietitian and owner of Eat Well and Beyond in Manchester, said some of her clients like including protein shakes in their detoxes, which is fine; the best ones include no dairy and are full of vitamins and minerals.

Easy ways to get kids eating healthy By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

From presentation and preparation to general attitude, there are a bunch of ways caregivers can make sure their picky tykes aren’t subsisting on junk foods.

Inventory

The easiest way to keep your kids from snacking on sweets is to keep sweets out of the house altogether. Emily Jacobs of Candia is a nutritionist and mother of two. When her kids, now teenagers, were smaller, she would limit

the amount of processed and sugary food she kept on hand. When her hungry kids went scavenging, there were only healthier options to choose from. “One of the challenges I think is providing alternatives to a lot of the foods that taste really good to them — things like soda and candy and sugary cereal, things that are really sweet,” Jacobs said. “How do you compete with that with whole foods, fresh fruits, vegetables, good sources of protein, good sources of fat?”

Make it fun

For small children especially, one of the best tricks to getting them to eat good 24

23 food is to present it in colorful or fun ways. Jacobs had a tradition in her family where she would arrange plates of fruits and vegetables to look like rainbows. She would also supply some sources of protein, like cheese or peanut butter. She made it a rule that the kids had to eat those when they got home from school before they could eat anything else. By the time they’d filled up on the healthy snacks, they’d forgotten that they wanted potato chips or cookies. Creating fun imagery or naming the food something silly can go a long way toward making it more appealing. “Instead of handing a kid a whole apple and saying, ‘Here, eat this,’ you can cut it up into slices and there’s fun things you can do with apples to make them look like a flower [or] a picture,” Jacobs said. She also recommends skewering fruits and veggies to make a kabob. “Things like that can make it a little more fun,” Jacobs said. Jacobs noted that kids have very sensitive taste buds and certain textures may be relatively difficult for them to handle at first. For this, Jacobs’ solution is the blender.

“One approach that often works really well is to make things that are pureed, like smoothies. You can call them shakes or soups that have lots of fruits and vegetables in them,” Jacobs said. “A kid may not try raw kale, but they’ll drink a smoothie that has kale in it.” Jacobs recognizes that many caregivers don’t have time to go all out with their food presentation. Some easy-to-make mainstays like ants on a log (raisins on top of peanut butter spread on a stick of celery) can be made well before snack time and left in the fridge for the kids to grab when they’re hungry.

Make it a discovery

Dinner time shouldn’t be a battle of wills. “If it becomes a battle, then that can definitely have a negative impact on their willingness to try new things in the future,” Jacobs said. Jacobs said there are a few easy ways to avoid this. To start with, parents should be eating the same healthy foods as the kids. “You can’t be doing something different than you’re asking them to do,” Jacobs said. Constantly exposing kids to new things is also key. If they hesitate to try something, don’t see it as a failure. “Research has shown that kids need to be exposed to new foods many times before accepting them in some cases,” Jacobs said. “It should never be a battle. Don’t fight about it, but have them try it. And over time, their tastes will adapt and they will start to like new things.” And it doesn’t hurt to give kids something like a yogurt dip to make certain vegetables more palatable. In our culture, we often celebrate the steak and marginalize the asparagus. Jacobs recommends turning that convention on its head. “Shift your paradigm a little bit,” Jacobs said. “Make fruits and vegetables the main focus of a meal or snack instead of [meats or carbs].”

ARTS Brighten up January “Art and Bloom” brings color to Concord By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

The 15th annual “Art and Bloom” is a pop of color in the gray of winter. “It’s such a gloomy time of year. To be able to work with flowers and create these beautiful arrangements is a good way to brighten an otherwise bleak winter,” Concord Garden Club member and flower artist Judith Maloy said via phone. The show, which occurs Jan. 19 through Jan. 21, is inspired by the annual exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. It showcases 20 locally made floral arrangements by Concord Garden Club members and floral designers, which are inspired by regional artwork supplied by McGowan Fine Art Director Sarah Chaffee. “Art and Bloom” turns 15 this year and occurs at McGowan Fine Art.

Final Day | Monday, January 16

Most people involved with the Colonial Theatre block development project in downtown Laconia are locals, from the engineering consultants to the construction manager. Architects Rob Turpin and Sonya Misiaszek can see the 102-year-old theater from their office window. “It’s been wonderful to have this core group of local people working on the project,” Misiaszek said via phone. This focused effort is a promising sign for David Bownes, a local attorney, city councilor and self-described theater geek who can remember seeing films like The Ten Commandments at the Colonial Theatre as a kid. “That building has been the elephant in downtown Laconia for years,” Bownes, who lives about five minutes from downtown, said via phone. “It wasn’t producing anything. The building was starting to show its age.” The restoration project began in the summer of 2015, when the City of Laconia loaned the Belknap Economic Development Council $1.4 million to buy the theater, with the goal of restoring it to be as financially stable and practical as it was when it opened in 1914. “What’s going to make this successful is that the city has bought into it 100 percent,” Bownes said. BEDC has since been deep in planning, with the goal of raising the required $14.5 million to renovate the whole block (which also includes apartments and retail space) before construction begins sometime in 2017. Progress remains steady, and the website, 609mainstreet.org, chronicles the most recent project breakthroughs — mostly financial, including tax credits, donations and grants. This past December the biggest was a $500,000 grant from New Hampshire’s Land and Community Heritage Investment Program. The Colonial Theatre, which features approximately 750 seats, is reminiscent of many other hundred-year-old New Hampshire theaters that saw renaissances in the last couple decades, like the Palace Theatre in Manchester and the Colonial Theatre in Keene. Justin Slattery, executive director of BEDC, hopes the revitalization will provide Laconia with more cultural opportunities, which will in turn boost the local economy by bringing more people downtown. “It’s a project that’s been looked at many times in the past. The timing presented itself More on the Colonial Theatre

— partners were able to move it along, and that’s where the opportunity came from,” Slattery said. “It would be an anchor [to downtown] if it re-opened.” There’s still a lot to do. Turpin and Misiaszek, who did work with the Winnipesaukee Playhouse nearby, are orchestrating the new design, which is difficult due to the building’s age. It means their plans have to meet approval from multiple entities, including the city, state and national park services. Misiaszek said the theater will be nominated for the National Register of Historic Places, so they’ve hired a preservationist and conservator to help. Many 1914 details are still present, from the painting and plaster work to the floor finishes, but they also need to update the building to modern-day code and make it adaptable for a wide range of programming — lectures, music festivals, theater productions, films, conferences and shows courtesy of the Putnam Fund, which has seen capacity issues in the past. “The building has gone through some transformation, but not a lot. It still has a lot of original systems and pieces in it, which is good, because it’s helpful in our restoration, but there’s a lot of asbestos and other hazardous materials in the building. We have to deal with all that as well since there were no real substantial modern upgrades,” Turpin said. The restoration effort will include the block’s apartments and retail space. BEDC will act as the landlord, renting to tenants, but the city will run the theater. Slattery said he’s encouraged also by the local, state and federal partners that have been “great to work with.” The project has also generated a great deal of excitement from the community; they’ve attended open houses at the theater and brought in old photos, posters, documents and memories of the place. “It’s going to be just gorgeous,” Bownes said. “The main challenge now is funding.”

Nearly 300 pairs of loons were recorded across New Hampshire in 2016 — that’s more than three times as many as there were just 40 years ago but is still only about halfway to where they should be historically to thrive, according to Loon Preservation Committee Executive Director Harry Vogel. At an informative talk at the Nashua Public Library on Wednesday, Jan. 18, you can learn about ways to help increase the population numbers of loons in the Granite State. Vogel will be leading “Successes of Loons in New Hampshire,” which will begin at 7 p.m., following a brief business meeting by the Nashaway Chapter of the New Hampshire Audubon. “The presentation is going to essentially have three parts to it,” he said. “The first thing I want to do is just talk about loons in general and to instill an appreciation for them to people. … Then I want to get into talking about all of the challenges facing loons in New Hampshire, and then from there that will lead into a discussion about the committee and the reasons why it was created. … I will also be talking “Successes of Loons in New Hampshire” When: Wednesday, Jan. 18, 7 p.m. Where: Nashua Public Library, 2 Court St., Nashua Cost: Free (no registration required) Visit: loon.org

about the general recreational use of our lakes, and the challenges we face in restoring loon populations.” Vogel said the very reason why the committee was founded was that loons were becoming less and less common on lakes. It initially began as a self-funded project of New Hampshire Audubon but has since grown into an independent research organization that’s based in Moultonborough. “Our goal is to teach people about loons and their needs,” he said, “but the same work that we’re doing also helps other wildlife, so we also work to promote environmental ethics as well.” Some of these things include the

proper use of fishing equipment when out on a lake, Vogel said. “It’s important not to use lead fishing sinkers or lead-headed jigs … because you’re putting loons and other wildlife at risk,” he said. “These are actually responsible for more loon deaths by far than any other single cause.” But an even easier thing to do is to just simply give the loons a little space in the wild. “If you want to get close to loons, do it with a big pair of binoculars,” Vogel said. “If you approach a loon on a nest with young chicks, what they do is stop doing what they need to be doing and focus all of their attention on you … and it may aban-

don its chicks.” The Loon Preservation Committee always welcomes volunteers and relies on them to help keep track of loon sightings across the state. Areas in particular that recently have enjoyed thriving loon populations include Massabesic Lake, Bow Lake, Mendums Pond and other lakes along the southern tier of New Hampshire. “[Volunteering] can be as simple as watching a lake near you and reporting what you see,” Vogel said. “We survey more than 325 lakes throughout New Hampshire and volunteers help us keep tabs on the population.” But Vogel added that loons this time of year are more likely to be found in the Atlantic Ocean, where the water is not completely covered in ice. “They migrate east and sometimes north in the wintertime, believe it or not,” he said. “It’s not warmth that they are after, just open water. … As soon as the lakes are open, they will be coming back.” Around here, Vogel said, that tends to be about early to mid-April. Loons are also natives of Alaska, several midwestern states, and other northern ends of the Northeast, including upstate New York, Vermont and Maine. “Despite all of the challenges, we’ve been able to more than triple the population over time,” he said. “We’re only about halfway to getting back to the historical levels of loons that New Hampshire’s lakes should be, though, so there’s still work to be done.”

Are you tired of winter already? Grow fruit! Last year I decided to do just that and now have three Meyer lemons ripening up on a little tree in a south-facing window. I also have a lime tree that has potential but is yet to bloom. My optometrist, Dr. Chris Fields in Lebanon, has a grapefruit tree he started from seed more than 20 years ago, and now it produces plenty of fruit in a big pot in a bright window. More on indoor fruit later. Let’s consider outdoor fruit first. Now is a good time to make plans for 2017. Do you have an apple tree? If not, you should. Put on your boots and walk around outside to see where you might plant an apple. They do best in full sun, either on the flat or a slight slope facing south or east, never north. An apple tree needs at least a 20-foot square, preferably more. Good rich, well-drained soil is ideal. Of course there are dwarf apples, but I have never grown one; they are less productive and seem stunted to me. Properly pruned, a mature apple tree is a thing of beauty, a sculpture in your landscape. Pruning is easy, particularly if you do it every year and never let the tree get all cluttered up. They bloom beautifully in the spring, produce apples and stand bare and handsome against the snow all winter. I’ve grown pears, but they are a bit more problematic. For starters, you can’t generally eat fruit right off the tree; you have to finish ripening it on the countertop or a windowsill. And pears, many of them, want to shoot straight up, not branch out to a gentle rounded form the way an apple tree will do. They can be trained but are tougher to train than a dog. And you need to grow two varieties of pears that bloom at about the same time to get good pollination. Twice I’ve grown peach trees, twice they have been killed by a cold winter. Both were a variety called “Reliance,” which was developed at the University of New Hampshire and bred for cold-hardiness. My total production from the two trees? Three peaches. After the second one died I grew vines up it for a few years until it fell over. And I foreswore ever trying again — unless global warming really does turn my garden into a Zone 5 garden. I ran into a friend recently who asked me about growing paw-paws. I told him I’ve had one for a few years, and it is doing nicely but has yet to produce fruit. The paw-paw is a native tree that is found in forests of Ohio, Pennsylvania and down through Appalachia. To refresh my knowledge about paw-paws I consulted a wonderful book by Lee Reich, Grow Fruit Naturally: A Hands-On Guide to Luscious, Home-Grown Fruit. This book

really has lots of personal, hands-on knowledge and I agree with just about everything it says (which is rare, for me) and it always supplements my knowledge. Reich’s book reminded me that pawpaws need two different varieties in order to produce fruit. I will need to buy another pawpaw this year, as I have just one. They are medium-sized trees, up to 25 feet tall, and are hardy in Zones 4 to 8. The skin and seeds of paw-paws are not edible. When the fruits ripen they often drop to the ground, so you can pick one up, cut it in half, and scoop out a custard-like sweet tropical fruit-flavored delicacy. Lee recommends buying named cultivars instead of starting from seed (though mine was either a root sprout or one started from seed). But back to tropical fruit. After presenting at the Rhode Island Flower Show last year I went to Logee’s Greenhouse in Danielson, Connecticut. Since 1892 this family has been growing tropical plants in their greenhouses. Byron Martin, grandson of the founder, is a wealth of knowledge and convinced me that yes, I could grow a lemon and a lime in the house. Want to grow real tropical fruit? Start by getting a book by Byron and Laurelynn Martin, Growing Tasty Tropical Plants in Any Home, Anywhere. They have the know-how based on years of experience and the book has lots of relevant information. The book has a few pages about dozens of tropical fruits, and gives suggestions for good plants for rank beginners. It tells you how to grow black pepper, coffee or bananas. (I haven’t been able to produce bananas, however, and tried for many years.) One of the most important bits I gleaned from the book is to avoid over-watering citrus. Grow them in fast-draining potting mix and only water when they are dry. Clay pots are good for that. And don’t put a small plant in a big pot. If the roots don’t reach the bottom of the pot, the soil there will not dry out and the cold, moist soil will rot roots nearby. But, and I know this from personal experience, if you see leaves starting to fall off, you have under-watered the tree. Take action! Visit https://dailyuv.com/gardeningguy.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, I acquired this from a home in Weare. I am wondering if it belonged to the town originally. Can you shed any light for me and an approximate value? Thanks for your time. Randy from Weare Dear Randy, It’s a really nice sign, and I’m sure it has some interesting history to it. It’s tough to tell if it originally was from Weare without any type of proof. You would have to research and go through any town photos to place it within the town hall or offices. Possibly even starting there could be of help. The historic association is another route. Someone who has lived in Weare for many years and has had family there as well could be helpful too. It’s a tough and usually long process (but could be fun). The sign itself has value no matter where it came from. The context, color, date and condition would determine that. The history to it would just be a bonus to you or a collector. I would say it would run in the area of $200.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Cold temps freeze auto locks on van Dear Car Talk: Our 2008 Hyundai Entourage van, which we purchased new, has always had electric door locks that will not function in cold weather. Not sure of the exact By Ray Magliozzi temperature, but once winter rolls around, we have to manually unlock the doors; we can’t open the locks with the remote. I took it to the dealer when this first occurred, and got some mumbojumbo but no solution. I should have been more persistent, but now it is too late. Other than buying warm gloves, do you have any suggestions? — David How ‘bout a heated garage? Actually, you’re lucky that you can’t open the doors, David. A lot of Entourage owners from the 2008 era complained that their sliding rear doors would open on their own — sometimes at highway speeds! I think Hyundai tried to convince those owners that was part of the “James Bond” package. As for your door locks, there are several possibilities. One is that the linkage itself is getting frozen. Moisture is always present inside the doors, since those cavities are not airtight. So that moisture could

be freezing the linkage that connects the “locking button” on the inside of your door to the lock mechanism itself. Is it difficult to unlock the car manually? Or do you see the locks “straining” to open when you press “unlock”? If so, that suggests that the problem is mechanical; perhaps a bound up or frozen linkage. In that case, you can have someone remove the inside door panels and spray the linkage with a desiccant, like WD-40. You can try it on one door first, to see if it helps. Another possibility is that the problem is electronic, and the signal to each door’s unlocking motor (solenoid) is not getting through. That could be because of a bad connection somewhere that opens up only in cold weather. We know that wires, like everything else, shrink when they get cold, right, David? If you don’t believe things shrink when they get cold, check the next time you go swimming in the ocean. So it could be a random wiring or connection problem, or there also could be something wrong with the body-control module, which is a computer that operates things like the power door locks. If absolutely nothing happens when you hit the “unlock” button, and you can

manually unlock the doors with no more effort than usual, that would suggest that something more central and electronic is causing the problem. If it’s mechanical, it’s probably worth trying to fix. If it’s electronic (and there were a number of issues with this vehicle’s electronics), you’ll have to decide if you’re willing to pay a mechanic to try to track it down. And then compare that expense to the cost of a heated garage. Good luck, David. Dear Car Talk: A buddy of mine just bought a new Lexus ES 350, and he ordered it with 19-inch wheels. Is there an advantage to having larger wheels on a car? — Wayne Well, most people think they look cooler. I think that’s the prime motivating factor. They do also improve handling. Generally speaking, the opening for the wheel-and-tire combination (the wheel well) is only so large. So when you use a larger wheel, you usually pair it with a tire that has a shorter sidewall. Tires with short sidewalls are called “low-profile” tires. And when you turn, those low-profile tires have less sidewall that can flex. That makes the car’s turning response a little sharper.

So if you have a car that’s not known for its sharp handling — like a Lexus ES 350, or a Lincoln Navigator — you can improve the handling a bit by getting larger wheels and having sidewalls that flex less. The downside is that those low-profile tires degrade your ride quality. All that extra sidewall, with its greater flexibility, helps soak up bumps and road imperfections, which softens your ride. So it’s a trade-off. Now, on a car that is designed to have a very soft ride, like the Lexus ES, you might have room to accept a slightly firmer ride in exchange for better handling. It’s likely the ride still will be pretty darned comfortable. But on cars that already have firm rides, you’d probably be better off going for the standard wheel size with the larger-sidewall tires. The other downside of tires with short sidewalls is that it’s easier for the tire and the wheel to get damaged by potholes or curb stones that you drive over. And if you think those optional 19-inch wheels were expensive when you bought the car, wait until you start having to replace them along with your 19-inch tires. Visit Cartalk.com.

Pats Peak will celebrate its 16th Diversity Day Jan. 16. Courtesy photo.

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Pats Peak will celebrate its 16th Diversity Day, with international music and dancing, presentations and more, on Monday, Jan. 16. Festivities are open to the public, and the event also includes Pats Peak’s POP (Pay One Price) package, offering group discounts on mountain lift tickets and rental equipment. Pats Peak’s director of services, Jim Wall, started the event back in 2001. “[The event] is meant to provide an atmosphere to bring individual skiing, snowboarding and snowtubing to people who may think it’s out of their reach,” said Lori Rowell, Pats Peak’s director of marketing and sales. “It also focuses on different cultures throughout the world.” Rowell said there will be world music and dancing complete with a DJ who will be set up in the lodge from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. There will also be a special commemorative ceremony led by Pats Peak staff members on what Martin Luther King Jr. Day is all about. More than 200 youth and teen members of the Youth Enrichment Services organization in Boston make the trip up to Pats Peak by bus each year for the event. YES students will kick off the event at 4:30 p.m. by performing a makeshift “torch-light parade” down Pats Peak’s bunny slope toward the lodge, using glowstick necklaces with rainbow colors. Concord DJ Franklyn Rosario of The Room Records,

who is from the Dominican Republic, will be providing the music. “Jim works with the YES program, so between him and them, some of the students of the program might do their own presentations, or he might speak,” Rowell said. Wall said this year’s presentations will include words from himself as well as YES Executive Director Bryan Van Dorpe. Memoirist Zoie Little, author of Black, White or Other, will also be speaking. (Little, who was born and raised in Concord, will also be appearing at Gibson’s Bookstore on Jan. 15 to present her book.) “Some representatives from Pats Peak … will address the audience in several different languages,” Wall added. Presentations will be wrapped up by about 6:15 p.m., Wall said, but the special discounts to use the slopes will be available until 9 p.m. The cafeteria and Sled Pub will also be open for the duration of Diversity Day. Diversity Day at Pats Peak When: Monday, Jan. 16; POP discount program available from 3 to 9 p.m.; Martin Luther King Jr. Day festivities from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Where: Pats Peak, 686 Flanders Road, Henniker Cost: $49 per person or $44 per person for groups of 15 or more; includes skiing, snowboarding, snowtubing, lessons, and admission to attend the celebration at the lodge Visit: patspeak.com

FOOD Cheers to four years

Henniker Brewing celebrates with new beer By Angie Sykeny

News from the local food scene

asykeny@hippopress.com

By Angie Sykeny

Henniker Brewing Co. celebrates its fourth year of brewing with a special anniversary event on Friday, Jan. 13, at River Road Tavern in Bedford. The “Four Years of Great Beers and Good Company” party will feature 11 of the brewery’s beers on tap, including a couple new releases, as well as food pairings, prizes and opportunities to meet and talk with the Henniker Brewing Co. staff. “Our following has continued to grow every year, and [the party] is a good way for us to get to know everyone who has supported us and celebrate how far we’ve come in four years and where we’re looking to go moving forward,” Marketing Director Ryan Maiola said. Partygoers will get to taste Henniker Brewing’s newest year-round brew, Damn Sure Double IPA, for the first time on tap outside the brewery. Damn Sure is brewed with malted oats, unmalted wheat, English pale malt and a hops blend with tropical fruit notes of mango, pineapple, peach and grapefruit. The name was inspired, Maiola said, by the Internet hashtag #NewHampshireForDamnSure and is a tribute to New Hampshire people and culture. Damn Sure is a New Hampshire-only release and will be available once a month in limited batches. “Accounts across the state have been

calling us about it. We’ve already pre-sold out of all of the kegs, and it’s going to go quick once it’s on tap,” Maiola said, “but we’ll be bringing a lot to the event, so if people are looking to try it out outside of the brewery, this is the best chance to.” Also on tap will be Company, a Belgian Quad released at the brewery’s anniversary party last year as part of the Off the Grid series. It’s brewed using house toasted cherrywood aged in white rum from Flag Hill Distillery in Lee and features notes of banana, rum, marzipan and cherry. The party will feature 2016 Company as well as the first tapping of 2017 Company. “Company is one of the beers that people really look out for,” Maiola said. “It will be cool to have the 2016 and 2017 Company side by side, because people notice that the cherry flavor gets stronger as it ages.”

Other notable beers on the lineup include the brewery’s winter seasonal The Roast, a stout brewed with a blend of locally roasted gourmet coffee beans; the popular Russian imperial stout King Misanthrope; and the last keg in the state of 2016 Ora, which is a Belgian-style golden ale. River Road Tavern will also be partnering with Henniker Brewing to offer food pairings with some of the beers. The pairings will include Damn Sure with grilled pork chop, couscous, pear sauce, shredded green apple and blue cheese; 2017 Company with a charcuterie plate; Amber Apparition amber ale with wild mushroom arancini; and a vanilla bean ice cream float made with Working Man’s Porter English style dark ale. Lastly, people at the party will have the chance to meet all eight members of Henniker Brewing’s staff, including the brewery’s founder Dave Currier and head brewer Devin Bush. “[Bush] is always interested in talking with people and getting their feedback on the beers,” Maiola said. “He has a lot of experience, so it’s also a good opportunity for homebrewers to meet and talk with him and ask him questions about brewing.” Although the party is a free, drop-in event, Maiola said there was a two- to three-hour wait at the peak of the anniversary party last year, so people should arrive toward the beginning of the event to ensure that they don’t miss out on the beers before they’re gone. “We were pleasantly shocked with the turnout last year. It’s a great reflection of the enthusiasm of the people who support us,” he said, “but it does mean that the tavern fills up quick, so definitely get there early to snag a spot.”

A world of wining and dining Inn offers global wine dinners, cooking classes By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

You can experience wines and cuisines from around the world or learn to make your own globally inspired meal at the new wine dinner parties and cooking classes offered at Colby Hill Inn in Henniker. The inn’s Wines of the World series is held on the first Thursday of every month and includes five- or six-course menus

centered around the cuisines of various wine regions and paired with wines from those regions. The Global Cooking with Local Ingredients classes are held one Monday a month year round and include hands-on instruction for preparing threeor four-course dinners based on cuisines from the same regions featured in each month’s wine dinners. The wine dinners and classes come as part of the inn’s new ownership under Jeff Brechbühl and Chef Bruce Barnes.

“Since we took over last February, we’ve had a lot of interest from people about cooking classes,” Brechbühl said. “There were already some classes here before we took ownership, but they were sparsely attended and only held at certain times of the year, so we wanted to make our own mark and do classes all year with a regional focus.” The dinners and classes coincide with the concept for the inn’s restaurant, The Grazing Room, which is to marry global-

Additionally, the menus for the classes often mirror what is on that month’s menu in The Grazing Room, so participants have the unique opportunity to learn how to prepare some of the dishes featured in the restaurant.

Josh Hilyard, the owner and pit master of 603 Smok’n Que barbecue catering business (Merrimack, 8605812, 603bbq.com), got his start in food service working his own concessions outside of Manchester Harley-Davidson, where he sold hot dogs and Italian 4.69”wide x 2.6” high sausages, and at New England Dragway racetrack in Epping, where he sold pulled pork sandwiches and barHIPPO Horizontal 1/8 page becued foods. Hilyard decided he wanted to focus on barbecue cuisine, and in 2014 he drove to Georgia to buy his own smoker. From there, he started developing his own recipes and practicing barbecue parties for 112127 his family and friends. He opened 603 Smok’n Que last summer; it now offers slow-smoked barbecue catering for special events, either on site with a cooking buffet style or as a drop-off service.

Steak Leave out a sirloin steak at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Season with salt, fresh cracked pepper and garlic powder, and rub with a good olive oil. Before you put the steak on the grill rub a little good olive oil over your steak. Grill at the highest temperature to get a good char, and flip once. For a medium-rare steak, cook at a temperature of 130 degrees internally. Steak sauce 1 cup mushrooms

Butter Fresh garlic ½ cup balsamic vinegar ½ cup Worcestershire sauce ½ cup brown sugar ½ cup ketchup Lemon Salt and pepper Saute mushrooms with a little butter. When mushrooms are browning, add some fresh garlic. Add balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and ketchup. Let simmer at a low temperature. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and season with salt and pepper. The sauce should thicken.

Ideas from off the shelf

Bruschetta bake Our move a few months ago located us farther from family, but closer to some of our best friends. We’re now able to host small dinners and large parties with friends we met years ago in college, which is proving a new kind of culinary experience. Most of our palates have come a long way since we subsisted on ramen noodles and cheap beer, and I enjoy trying new recipes whenever we have company. Recently, a friend and her fiance joined us for dinner. It was a weeknight, so I didn’t have a lot of time after work to throw something together. Plus, I needed a recipe that both my guests and my kids would eat. And the final twist: It had to be vegetarian. I wracked my brain for something that would work and settled on a casserole recipe I’d made before. However, the original recipe calls for chicken. I decided to substitute eggplant for the chicken and hope for the best. My favorite thing about cooking with eggplant is how versatile it is, especially in vegetarian dishes. If you’re normally a meat-lover, eggplant is the perfect alternative to a lot of meats, particularly chicken, in many recipes. The casserole ended up being incredibly simple and pantry-friendly. The only fresh ingredient I needed was the eggplant. Boxed stuffing mix, canned tomatoes, garlic, basil and of course cheese rounded out this recipe, which ended up being a delicious blend of textures and flavors. I’ve always loved serving bruschetta as an appetizer. It’s the perfect small bite that’s usually a crowd-pleaser. This cas-

serole was no exception. While the stuffing replaced the bread, all the other elements of bruschetta were there, and with the addition of the eggplant the dish was hearty and filling. I took a little extra time in the afternoon to prep the eggplant, cutting it into bite-size pieces and sprinkling with salt before leaving it out on the counter for about an hour. This enabled much of the water found in eggplant to rise to the surface, and I quickly patted it dry with paper towels. The extra step proved worthwhile, as the eggplant in the final product still had some crunch to it and hadn’t made the casserole a soupy mess. The only change I would make when making this recipe again would be to use and season fresh tomatoes instead of canned. I found the flavor of the canned tomatoes to be a bit overpowering, but if my guests noticed, they didn’t say anything. Overall, this dish was quick, simple and successful. My kids ate it up (without realizing they were eating vegetables), and my friends went back for seconds. The garlic, basil, tomatoes and cheese hinted at traditional bruschetta, but the casserole version made for a heartier meal. — Lauren Mifsud

Hermit Woods news

New Hampshire’s Hermit Woods Winery, in downtown Meredith, was recently named to Food & Wine magazine’s Best 500 Wineries in America. It was one of two New England wineries on the list and one of 20 wineries in the Northeast. Hermit Woods is on the list alongside some of the country’s most prestigious wineries, including Napa Valley’s Caymus Vineyards, which helped put California on the map in the early 1970s; Harlan Estates; Opus One; Robert Mondavi; and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, famous for winning the “Judgement of Paris Tasting” in 1976 with its cabernet sauvignon, the winery reported in a press release. Hermit Woods Winery’s inclusion on the list is notable in that it may be the only winery on the list not producing wine from grapes. Hermit Woods has developed a reputation for crafting classically styled, often barrel-aged wines from the fruit that is native to New England. “Having developed a love for some of the world’s finest wines from Burgundy and other classic wine regions of the world, we are exploring the depth and character that can be developed from our local fruits and the terroir that exists here in our part of the world,” partner and vintner Ken Hardcastle said in the press release. “This is where we live, so we craft wine from the fruits that grow best here.” “All of us here at Hermit Woods are so proud to be given this honor. We have worked very hard over the past six years to produce the finest-quality wines that we

Tasting tips

In two weeks, New Hampshire will celebrate the 14th annual Wine Week. (Check out the cover story, starting on p. 12, for more on that!) This event is one of my favorites, and I look forward to it every year. I have learned a couple of helpful tips after attending a few of them. Ahead of Wine Week every year, I like to share them for anyone who may be attending so they get the most from the event. Stay hydrated. The day of the event, and even a couple days before, be sure to drink plenty of water. I sometimes find it difficult to drink water during the event, depending on the setup, so I try to prepare in advance. Eat before you go. I cannot stress this one enough. While there is often food served, it isn’t a full meal. I eat a full, wellbalanced dinner before larger wine tastings, so I can actually enjoy the wine and avoid having it go right to my head on an empty stomach. I typically stick to either white or red and limit my sampling to wines I have not tried before, which also helps my stomach. Make a tasting plan. The New Hampshire Liquor Commission releases the list of wines ahead of time and now offers a mobile app. Last year, I reviewed it ahead of time and made a plan and found this method to be really helpful. This way, I had a list of tables I wanted to visit and wines I wanted to try. This also gave me the opportunity to meet some of the winemakers. Though this event can get busy, the winemakers do their best to interact with every guest.

POP CULTURE

CDs

Like so many other famous folkrockers who peaked before hip-hop took over everything, Curtis is without major label support these days, this new record having been financed through Kickstarter. She’s still based in Boston, recently separated from her wife of 17 years but apparently not too devastated by it, or at least not in the mood to rehash it to death, let alone re-examine the slings and arrows she suffered after coming out in her hometown of Saco, Maine, so many years ago, songwriting fodder she’s already used. Yes, her keyboard-driven passages can get mawkish (“The Dying Side”) and she’s sounding a bit old to be resurrecting the Tracy Chapman/Paula Cole era, which, thankfully, she doesn’t attempt too often here. No, mostly it’s simple, cheerful pastel Americana about comings and goings, redolent of Mary Chapin Carpenter (who seems to like her a lot) if anything.

Arguably most famous for their 1988 college-jangle-indie single “Away,” this New Jersey four-or-fivesomedepending-on-the-year has splintered off a large number of side projects and bands over their 40 years of on-and-off activity, all usually pointed at the same general audience as the main band: repressed crook-leg-dancers who prefer bands whose singers only got the job by picking the shortest straw — a kinder, gentler ascendant of grunge. In this, their sixth proper album, neither the recipe nor the ingredients have changed much, except that now the stubborn, driving jangle doesn’t come off as youthful, more like models for the tunes on A Mighty Wind. “Turn Back Time” is dishwasher-safe twee; “Stay the Course” reads like Wire without any effects pedals, and “Pass the Time” revisits the varying-tempo shtick they pulled 35 years ago on “Sooner or Later” but with a decided lack of urgency. All that being said, the songs are a bit infectious as always — they’ve certainly not lost that ability. A- — Eric W. Seager

xx on Saturday Night Live, or does anyone watch that show anyway to begin with? I don’t know anyone who does. But regardless of all that, the single “On Hold,” from their fast-approaching new LP I See You, is likeable in its way, comprising a U2-style wavesoul beat, some glitch and a 1990s-hip-hop sample lighting the way for the band’s coed vocal approach. • Dunno how this snuck in here, but OK, let’s do it. Philadelphia one-man laptop-and-bad-falsetto-singing DIY operation Brandon Can’t Dance has been making music since he was 11 years old, mostly dweeby singing over Donkey Kong video game soundtrack music, minimal funk and plenty of spray-can cheese. Graveyard of Good Times, his newest album, is made of the same formula as always, except this time the vocals sound like MGMT. You can hear all this fantastic art for yourself by punching up the new single “Smoke and Drive Around,” the video for which features Brandon doing what he does best, his true calling, smoking butts and looking unapproachable. • Code Orange is a metalcore band from Pittsburg, and that’s all I’d actually like to say on the matter, but there is a minimum

word-count in place, so let’s go see what nuggets of artistic greatness we can find on their new Forever album, which was written and recorded whenever these guys weren’t busy working on their other band, Adventures. So, blah de blah, here’s the title track, and it’s not bad, if you like songs that start out sounding exactly like Ministry and then sound like every old Slayer tune you’ve ever heard. Bonus: the drummer sings, which makes them totally different somehow, unless you count The Eagles or Genesis. • British DJ Simon Green goes by the name Bonobo, which is actually a type of pygmy chimpanzee, for you nerdy zoologists out there. He’s all about the trip-hop and acid-jazz, which bodes well, so without further ado let’s go listen to something from his new album, Migration, and see if he’s actually good at it or if it instead gets me snoring within 30 seconds and I wake up later with a scratchy throat from all the snoring. The tease single “Kerala” is nice, clean and chilled, a little like Orbital, albeit after some show-offy reverse-beat nonsense. Nice headphone stuff, island rhythms and trippy tribal singing. — Eric W. Seager

Ever since he wrote Kitchen Confidential, Anthony Bourdain has been the bad boy of the kitchen, and we’ve loved him for it. We’ve followed his writings and his TV shows, never seeming to be able to get enough of his drinking, his in-yourface monologues, his wit and his casual sunglassed skinny-jeaned larger-than-life personality. Bourdain is certainly a character to behold. But if you’ve been watching him over the years, you’ve seen him ever so slightly change. He got married and then had a daughter. Kids do things to you. They make you identify your priorities; you quit smoking, you work out and, in general, you become calmer. This is what we’re seeing in Bourdain’s newest release, Appetites, a cookbook of family favorites, including many recipes that he specifically makes for his daughter when he’s not on the road. There’s nothing overly fancy here. Bourdain includes a recipe for Portuguese Squid and Octopus Soup (anyone who knows him knows he loves “slimy” seafood) right alongside another recipe for Cream of Tomato Soup (which has the taste of comfort, security and recently dried tears). Chopped Liver on Rye is followed by New England Style Lobster Roll (spoiler alert, he uses mayonnaise for the meat and butter for the roll). He’s even included a family favorite recipe of macaroni and cheese that uses four types of cheese (just because it’s a family favorite doesn’t mean it can’t be insanely delicious). Along with being a cook and a food aficionado, Bourdain is a talented storyteller. He loves commenting on how things came to be, what he likes or doesn’t like, and how he thinks things should be done. Never holding back his punches, he’s known for slinging the truth. Each recipe is introduced with a short essay and cooking suggestions.

“I fell in love with this stuff at a Provincetown joint called Cookie’s Tap, which was popular with local fishermen and (allegedly) sports gamblers. I’d never tasted anything like it. It took me years of trying to get it right, and the version below, though an adaptation and not necessarily a faithful re-creation, catches, I think, the spirit and many virtues of the original. The book is filled with soups, sandwiches, casseroles and bakes — savory meats, more meats and vegetables, the good things. The stuff that childhood memories are made of. The stuff that Bourdain remembers from his past and now wants to pass on to his daughter — all yummy, all there. This oversized hardcover cookbook is filled with full-color photos of the prepared foods along with candids of Bourdain with family and friends (although he warns you that to protect his daughter’s privacy, you’ll never see her in full). You’re not going to see magazine-perfect staged food photos. In this one you’re going to see food preparation in all its glory — dirty dishes, spilled wine, and even double chins from laughing and having a good time. Appetites is a roll-up-your-sleeves and get-down-to-business type of cookbook — the kind that, like a good friend, will always welcome you home. A — Wendy E.N. Thomas

To author Will Schwalbe, it’s not at all dramatic to say books can save lives. “When you read broadly, and when you discover that author or character who speaks to you or knows your thoughts, it’s like you’re not alone, and that’s an incredible thing to discover,” Schwalbe said via phone last week. “And that really saves lives.” Schwalbe has a whole list of titles that impacted his life — which is the premise of his most recent project, Books for Living. The book, published in late December by Knopf Publishing Group, contains 26 essays about 26 books that helped Schwalbe make sense of the world. The idea for it started during the tour for his 2012 memoir, The End of Your Life Book Club, which told of the books he and his mother read together while she was dying. At these events, he talked about the memoir, but often conversations gravitated toward general reading — he asked what attendees were reading and vice versa. “I started to see the way books changed their lives and helped them engage in life,” Schwalbe said. “I wanted to explain the phenomenon on why readers are so passionate about books.” Schwalbe began research by rereading 100 of the most memorable books he’s read, which helped him narrow the list down to 50. He wrote essays about each at his home bar, above which hangs a sign: Who cares? This helped him narrow the field to 26. “When I finished a chapter, that’s the question I asked myself. Sometimes I wrote a whole chapter and thought, ‘Not even I care!’ Even though this has a lot of memoir in it, I really tried to write about books that speak to readers in different ways. These are not my 26 favorite books. These are 26 books that I think teach powerful lessons,” he said. He talks about the book and some of those titles — which range from Stuart Little and The Odyssey to The Girl on the Train and What I Talk About When I Talk Meet Will Schwalbe

About Running — at The Music Hall Loft Thursday, Jan. 19, at 7 p.m. Schwalbe said he learned a lot rereading these books and remembering his experiences with them. “One thing I realized is that we’re not the same person when we read a book [a second time]. We’re not even the same person when we get to the end of a book. Funny little things would jump out at me,” he said. “Some of the books you read the first time don’t hit you until later.” For instance, what struck him the second time reading What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami was a paragraph about naps. When he reread The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, it reminded him of a friend who died in high school. Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh taught him the importance of recharging; he compares it to Marie Kondo’s The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, except that it’s about your soul instead of your home. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins has lessons about trust, he said. Readers will revel in a small taste of New Hampshire; some essays look back at Schwalbe’s time at St. Paul’s in Concord, which he attended as a teen. His chapter on The Odyssey by Homer offers a glimpse of one of his favorite teachers, George Tracy, who taught Greek, and his chapter on Giovanni’s Room is about Miss Locke, the school librarian who used to leave him books on the library cart. Schwalbe’s day job is in book publishing, mostly cookbooks, but he typically devours one to two additional books a week for pleasure. He hopes Books for Living inspires people to think about their own reading lives and come up with their own lists — or better yet, just spend more time with a book in hand. “One of the big things in the book. … is to show how books can help reset our lives and priorities,” he said. “A lot of people are in this habit of checking email the minute they wake up. If you check email the minute you wake up, why not just wake up an hour earlier, stay in bed and read a book for an hour, then check emails and get on with your day?” It’s different from doing something like running or writing first thing, he said. “It’s hard to go running. It’s hard to write. A lot of things are hard to do in the morning. But picking up a book you’re enjoying — that’s not something that’s hard. Life’s short. Why not start the day with something fun?” he said.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Hidden Figures (PG)

Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson worked on complex math for NASA but still dealt with several flavors of workplace discrimination in Hidden Figures, a look at the African-American female mathematicians who worked in the space program.

Always way ahead of her peers in math, Katherine (Taraji P. Henson), in the late 1950s and early 1960s, is a “computer” — one of a group of women who did the complex math required for the still-young space program. Or, actually, she is one of two groups of women, since the computers are segregated by race, like everything else at the Langley campus in Virginia where they work. Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) runs the African-American computer pool, even though her title as supervisor is unofficial, as she frequently reminds Vivian Mitchell (Kirsten Dunst), her boss. While Dorothy argues for her rightful promotion, she also helps to promote the careers of women like Katherine and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe), a fellow computer whose true desire is to become an engineer. Mary is called in to work with the team perfecting the capsule for manned space flight and Katherine is sent to work with the team trying to figure out exactly how to get that capsule into space and then bring it back. Meanwhile, as the massive new IBM is moved into the building, Dorothy decides to learn how to program it — teaching herself from a book she has to smuggle out of the “white” section of the town’s library — so that she and her computers can stay employable. Though we see all three women work to secure advancement at an agency that doesn’t seem particularly welcome to either women or African-Americans, the movie’s central focus is Katherine, who works on launch and landing for Project Mercury. Al Harrison (Kevin Costner) is the beleaguered boss of her department, which is taking heat for the failures of early test launches and especially when the Russians successfully get Yuri Gagarin into space. Hidden Figures is a likeable, above-aver-

Hidden Figures (PG)

age movie that tells a fascinating story about fascinating people. Which is to say, the movie isn’t quite as good as everything the movie is about. And the “everything” might be part of the problem. In order to give us the stories of all three women, a lot of information is crammed into the movie that gets in the way of streamlined storytelling and of giving much depth to any one character. The movie can really only give us the surface of the career and family struggles of these women; it’s on the actresses, through facial expression or body language, to provide any of the little glimpses we get into their interior lives. I don’t totally fault the movie for this. I was interested in Mary’s and Dorothy’s stories and I don’t think I’d want to lose any bits of them, even if it would make for a cleaner narrative. A subplot about Katherine, called Katherine Goble as the movie starts, meeting her second husband (her first husband has died a few years earlier when the movie starts) could have been a place to trim but I can also understand wanting to give a full picture of the woman. The movie does indulge in some Hollywood shorthand that I could have done without. Costner’s character and Jim Parsons, who shows up to play a one-note “prejudiced scientist,” both feel more like hasty writing than real people. And the movie is can feel a little “Cliffs Notes on Civil Rights” for how it deals with race, tending to tell not show about the role race plays in the women’s lives. But I can forgive this. The women at the

center of Hidden Figures are interesting people I want to know more about. If sitting through a little Hollywooding is what it takes to get us the story of their lives, I am willing to make that trade. B+ Rated PG for thematic elements and some language. Directed by Theodore Melfi with a screenplay by Allison Schroeder and Theodore Melfi (based on the book by Margot Lee Shetterly), Hidden Figures is two hours and seven minutes long and distributed by 20th Century Fox.

Underworld: Blood Wars (R)

Vampires and werewolves — oh, sorry, Lycans — go another round in Underworld: Blood Wars, the fifth movie in the series that started in 2003.

Who would have thought this would have such a shelf life? Generally, you’ll get by if you know that: • There are vampires. • There are werewolves. • They have been fighting each other forever. • Currently, the werewolves are winning. • No matter the circumstances, bad-ass vampire Selene (Kate Beckinsale) is always dressed in skin-tight leather and a flowy coat. Of less importance is the fact that Selene has a daughter who is a hybrid — werepire, vampwolf? — with special blood that the werewolves want because it will make them Invincible! or something. But Selene’s daughter is hiding somewhere even Selene doesn’t know about. Even though Selene

would prefer to just mope around, thinking about her lost daughter and the man she loves but hasn’t seen for, like, two movies, she is drawn into the vampire/werewolf fight. On the vampire side, there’s Thomas (Charles Dance, using up his leftover Tywin Lannister), his son David (Theo James) and Semira (Lara Pulver, best known to me as BBC Sherlock’s Irene Adler). On the Lycan side, there’s Marius (Tobias Menzies, whose reveal here really only makes sense if you know the actor from other stuff, such as his extra villainous Outlander role). Also introduced in this movie is the concept of Nordic vampires — blond, vaguely hippy-like vampires who live in a snowy mountain castle that looks like a leftover set from some other movie. Sure, Blood Wars is dumb. My hazy memory of the previous movies is that they are also kinda dumb, but I have to say, I didn’t hate watching this. Even though Beckinsale seems like she’s more paycheck- than character-motivated at this point, her world-weary vampire is still bleakly fun. The movie is silly but somehow not completely devoid of energy. Despite all the backstory the movie references, the action moves at a fairly good pace. This movie is exactly entertaining enough to keep you from, say, switching the channel or leaving the theater without being so entertaining that you care about what’s happening or would go out of your way to watch it. If grown-up actors wearing goth formalwear and talking about blood feuds is just too ridiculous for you or if you are going to be too bothered by questions like “how is it always night” (a complaint I also might have heard in CinemaSins videos about previous Underworld movies), this is not your movie. But if you don’t mind dodgy fight scenes as long as the heroine is kind of cool, enjoy Charles Dance in fantasy nonsense and are too tired to look for the remote, there are worse things in the world than Underworld: Blood Wars. C Rated R for strong bloody violence, and some sexuality. Directed by Anna Foerster with a screenplay by Cory Goodman, Underworld: Blood Wars is an hour and 31 minutes long and distributed by Screen Gems.

• Rusticana: Acoustic roots band Miketon & the Nite Blinders chose a wooden room in a mill building to record its debut album, a heady mix of fiddle, guitar, banjo and harmony. Building A Home is honest country rock and provides the local scene with a good start to the new year. A release party includes support from Meaghan Casey, Henry’s Rifle and Bob Fleming. Go Thursday, Jan. 12, at 9 p.m., Shaskeen Pub, 909 Elm St., Manchester. Go to miketon.net for more. • New brew: A series of acoustic performers includes Dark Roots front man Johnny Straws and guitarist Barry Weymouth stripping down their band’s active rock sound. Go Friday, Jan. 13, at 8:30 p.m., Stark Brewing Co., 500 N. Commercial St., Manchester. See reverbnation.com/darkroots. • Roots revival: Myrtle Beach reggae jam band TreeHouse helps a venerable downtown spot return to live music, with support from Roots of Creation leader Brett Wilson and Total Collision, featuring Fear Nuttin Band singer Roosta. Further out, Lisa Guyer holds a weekly Wednesday’s Muse open mike; fitting, since her old band Mama Kicks used to own the room it its Brimmer days. Go Saturday, Jan. 14, at 8 p.m., 1oak on Elm, 1087 Elm St., Manchester. Tickets $5; call 206-5599. • Schooner sound: A weekly music series continues with Will Hatch, a one-time punk rocker now playing as a one-man acoustic band. His high lonesome songs evoke John Hartford and John Prine, while his musical role models are pickers like Chet Atkins and Doc Watson. Go Monday, Jan. 16, at 6 p.m. at Eagle Earth Brewings, 165 High St., Portsmouth. See willhatchmusic.com.

Replacing a bass player is hard for any band, even more so a trio and especially when the remaining members are sister and brother. But when People Skills lost its bassist of five years in late 2015, their list of candidates was short and sweet. “There was one name on it: Eric Reingold,” guitarist, singer and band leader Chelsea Paolini said in a recent Skype interview of the search she and Andrew Paolini made for a third member. “We couldn’t think of another person.” Reingold is a rhythm anchor, with a resume that’s a who’s who of New Hampshire’s music scene. JamAntics, Greenlights and Cold Engines are a few of the bands he’s worked with over the years. Fortunately, Reingold was already a big People Skills fan. “I never thought I’d be the bass player,” he said. “I just loved the songs.” His shakedown cruise was really a trip around the harbor. He knew their groovy, loping song “Lucy” note for note, and slipstreamed easily into the rest of a catalog built over five years. “The transition was not human, in a good way,” Chelsea Paolini said. “Eric learned so quick, and it’s only gotten better.” Chelsea and Andrew Paolini first played out together in a high school ska band, but the siblings made music long before then. “We’ve been playing together forever,” Chelsea Paolini said. “I was jealous

enough to get by with some shifts at a couple of sh***y jobs. As for other rewards, if people tell you they love you and your music, that’s really cool — it’s something we created.” As Reingold begins his second year with People Skills, the band is preparing its third album, Distractions, for summer release. It’s actually the second time they’ve recorded it; personal and professional differences caused them to scrap sessions from spring 2016. After a quiet December, the three are looking forward to a busy 2017. When the new record comes out, they’ll head out on tour again. In the interim, there are several local shows scheduled, including one on Jan. 14 at Penuche’s Ale House in Concord. They’ve been a solid draw in the Capitol City for a few years now. “What happened first is we played True Brew, opening for Amorphous Band,” Chelsea Paolini said. “Chris O’Neill from that band is someone we know from the Seacoast area. Then we played Granite State Music Festival. A lot of people saw us there, and that really kind of got us into the scene. It also introduced us to just how awesome Concord is.”

because even though I’m two years older, anything I could play Andrew could learn and play better. We grew up both playing piano and guitar but then he started playing drums — he said, ‘Everyone needs a drummer.’ It turns out he was really good at that too.” The band’s chemistry was chronicled by filmmaker Jared Parisi in his documentary, A Long Way From Home: 11 Days on the Road with People Skills, released in November. Parisi followed the group on an ambitious summer tour that began in Albany, New York, circled down into the Deep South then back up to Brooklyn, New York, and ended in front of a hometown crowd at Portsmouth’s Press Room. From the highs of radio interviews and fans eager to enjoy their genre-bending sound — Chelsea Paolini calls it “riffy jam pop” — to playing in an empty smalltown Kentucky bar on a Monday night, Parisi’s film tracks the highs and lows of scraping by in the modern music business. The Paolinis and Reingold stay exuberant throughout. “We love the traveling aspect, even if we don’t make any money,” Chelsea Paolini said. “If you live modestly as I do, it’s

And will now use his expertise to treat patients with sleep related breathing disorders, primarily Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) & Snoring. "OSA, is a medical condition that significantly increases the risk for hypertension, heart attack, stroke and death and must be diagnosed by a physician." Said Dr. Puccini, " I want to work with area physicians and patients who may benefit from an oral appliance or who are seeking an alternative to other types of therapy, such as CPAP." In addition to examining for oral cancer and dental disease, we now screen every patient for the presence of primary snoring and possible sleep apnea. If OSA is suspected, we refer them to their primary physician for a diagnosis. If appropriate, an oral appliance may be prescribed.

Dr. Puccini is a graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of Dentistry in Cleveland, Ohio. He is a general dentist with a special interest in implant, cosmetic dentistry and sleep medicine. He and his wife, Dr. Susan Roberge, have owned and operated their dental practice in Bedford for over 30 years.

If you or someone you love snores, ask Dr. Puccini if an oral appliance may be right for you. info@snordoc.com | PucciniDentalSleepMedicine.com 505 RIVERWAY PLACE, BEDFORD, NH • 603.624.4344 110049

NEVER IN VEGAS

SIGNS OF LIFE en to me many Christmases ago by my mother, who purchased them at an outlet in Vermont. Although if I did let those turtlenecks free, they would definitely find their way back to me. Your anchovy paste wants to be free. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) A positive and conclusive face-off must stick to one topic. And when it veers into “and another thing…” and suddenly you’re yelling about the time, fifteen years ago, when he gave you a Barnes & Noble gift card for your first anniversary, then it’s just emotional, histrionic laser tag. (For the record he did give me a Barnes & Noble gift card for our first anniversary.) Do not give a Barnes & Noble gift card for a first anniversary. A piece of chocolate cheesecake at the Barnes & Noble cafe and a thoughtfully chosen book could, however, be a good start. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) Having patted myself on the back all the way to the mall party store, I was shocked upon my arrival to discover an entire room dedicated to Ariel gizmos. I was dumbfounded to learn that other people had thought of a Little Mermaid party before me! Your idea doesn’t have to be first to be good. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) We introduced the enlightened idea that the camp experience would reward [our daughter] with a sense of independence. Her rebuttal was, “Why don’t you give me five dollars, let me walk ten blocks in Manhattan by myself to buy some eggs. That experience will make me more independent than any sleepaway camp will.” Strive for independence. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) I reveled in the excitement of clicking out my thoughts to the Twittersphere and receiving instant reactions. … I’m sure it felt the same way in 1876 when the telephone came along: I would have been crank-calling everyone from Grover Cleveland to Sitting Bull. Imagine playing Words with Friends with Emily Dickinson? The old and the new will combine in amazing ways.

All quotes are from Happily Ali After: And Other Fairly True Tales, by Ali Wentworth, born Jan. 12, 1965. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) The names and identifying characteristics of some of the individuals featured throughout this book have been changed to protect their privacy. However, if you meet me on the street I will tell you their real names and e-mails. Privacy is key. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) I think whenever I am right I should get a Twix bar and a twenty-dollar bill. Should, maybe, but won’t. Move on. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) I constructed an enormous three-tiered cake from scratch, and by scratch I mean six boxes of Duncan Hines yellow cake mix. Call it what it is. People will know anyway. Aries (March 21 – April 19) I guess we have to define inexcusable. If you accidentally smear raspberry lip gloss on an expensive ivory blouse and then don’t buy it, is that inexcusable? … Can you forgive and still hold a grudge? Forgiveness is in the air. Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Back at the apartment, my children knew that I was still in the doghouse. They were at once elated and befuddled that it wasn’t either one of them for a change, but they also felt sorry for me. My youngest slipped me a Starburst like it was a knife snuck into prison. You may be in the doghouse, but you have friends. Gemini (May 21 – June 20) I wonder if I have done the best with what I was given. ... have I maximized all that is me? It’s a process. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) I have heard this oldie but goodie put in a variety of ways — if opportunity rings, answer it, if opportunity Facebooks, friend it, if someone hands you their purse, take it … you get the drift. Friend it. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) If I set everything I loved free, I would end up with a can of anchovy paste and some XXL turtlenecks giv-

We price match!

Russian producers are planning the so-far-ultimate survivors’ show in the Siberian wilderness for nine months (temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit), with 30 contestants selected after signing liability waivers that protect the show even if someone is murdered. (Police may come arrest the perpetrators, but the producers are not responsible for intervening.) The show (“Game2: Winter”) will be telecast live, around the clock, beginning July 2017 via 2,000 cameras placed in a large area full of bears and treacherous forest. Producers told Siberian Times in December that 60 prospects had already signed up for the last-person-standing prize: the equivalent of $1.6 million (only requirements: be 18 and “sane”). (Bonus: The production company’s advertising lists the “dangerous” behaviors they allow, including “fighting,” “murder,” “smoking.”)

• With car-camel collisions increasing in Iran’s two southern provinces, an Iranian government ministry is in the process of issuing identification cards to each camel, supposedly leading to outerwear license “plates” on each of the animals. Authorities told the Islamic Republic News Agency the registration numbers are needed if an accident victim needs to report the camel or to help trace smugglers. (No actual U.S.-style license plates on camels have yet made the world’s news photographs.) • Martin Shkreli became the Wall Street bad boy in 2015 when his company Turing Pharmaceuticals bought the right to market the lifesaving drug Daraprim and promptly raised its typical price of $18 a pill to $750, but in November, high schoolers in the chemistry lab at Sydney Grammar in Australia created a molecular knockoff of Daraprim for about $2 a tablet. Their sample of “pyrimethamine” (Daraprim’s chemical name) was judged authentic by a University of Sydney chemistry professor. Daraprim, among other uses, fights deadly attacks on immune systems, such as for HIV patients. • Gazing Upon Nature as Nature Calls: To serve restroom users in a public park in China’s Hunan Province’s picturesque Shiyan Lake area, architects gave users in toilet cubicles a view of the forest through ceiling-to-floor windows. To discourage sightseers who believe the better view is not from the cubicles but into them, the bottom portion, up to the level of the toilet, is frosted though that stratagem probably blurs only a pair of legs, seated. (CNN reported in October that China has at least one other such restroom, in Guilin province, viewing distant mountains.)

• Oops! Organizers of the Christmas Day caroling program at the Nelum Pokuna theater in Colombo, Sri Lanka, drawing thousands of devout celebrants, were apparently confused by one song title and innocently included it in the book for the carolers. (No, it wasn’t “Inna Gadda Da Vida” from a famous “Simpsons” episode.) It was “Hail Mary” by the late rapper Tupac Shakur likely resulting in the very first appearance of certain words in any Christmas service publication anywhere. • Officials of the Ulm Minster in Ulm, Germany, the world’s tallest church (530 feet high), said in October that they fear it might eventually be brought down by visitors who make the long trek up with a full bladder and no place to relieve themselves except in dark alcoves, thus eroding the structure’s sandstone. A building preservation representative also cited vomit in the alcoves, perhaps as a result of the dizzying height of the view from the top. (News of the Weird has reported on erosion damage to a bridge, from spitting, in Mumbai, India, and at the Taj Mahal, from bug droppings.) • The Dubai-based Gulf News reported in November that 900 Kuwaiti government workers had their pay frozen during the current investigation into no-shows, including one man on the payroll (unidentified) who reportedly had not actually worked in 10 years. Another, who had been living abroad for 18 months while drawing his Kuwaiti pay, was reduced to half-pay, but insisted he had asked several times for assignments but was told nothing was available. (Gulf News reported that the 10-year man is appealing the freeze!)

• Prosecutors in Darlington, England, obviously take child “cruelty” seriously because Gary McKenzie, 22, was hauled into court in October on four charges against a boy (whose name and age were not published), including passing gas in the boy’s face. The charge was described as “in a manner likely to cause him unnecessary suffering or injury to health.” He was on trial for two other slightly harsher acts and another gas-passing, against a different boy but the judgment has not been reported. • World-class chess players are famous for intense powers of concentration, but a chess journal reported in October that topflight female players have actually been disqualified from matches for showing too much cleavage as they play, thus distracting their opponent (according to Ms. Sava Stoisavljevic, head of the European Chess Union). In fact, the Women’s World Chess Championship, scheduled for February, has decreed that, since the matches will be held in Tehran, all contestants must wear hijabs (leading a U.S. women’s champion to announce she is boycotting). • Undignified Deaths: (1) A 24-year-old woman who worked at a confectionary factory in Fedortsovo, Russia, was killed in December when she fell into a vat of chocolate. (Some witnesses said she was pouring flour when she fell; others say she fell while trying to retrieve her dropped cellphone.) (2) A 24-year-old man was decapitated in London in August when he leaned too far out the window of one train and struck an extension on a passing train. Next to the window he leaned from was a sign warning people not to stick their heads out. Visit weirduniverse.net.
