HIPPO | MARCH 23 - 29, 2017 | PAGE 2

At Frank Edelblut’s public hearing before the Executive Council, an overflow crowd came to speak out, many opposed to Gov. Sununu’s choice of his former gubernatorial primary rival’s nomination as the state’s chief education officer, fearing that Frank would bring an anti-public school agenda.

Their concerns were based, largely, on the fact that Frank and his wife homeschooled their seven children. When it came to my turn to speak, I started by saying that “I have a public school agenda” and that I was there to support Frank’s nomination.

I might have been on the other side of this issue if I hadn’t spent so much time in the last year getting to know him. Last summer, Frank called me, introduced himself, said that he was running for governor, and wanted to talk with me about my favorite subject, education. We spent hours together. I will admit that I thought that he had no chance to win. (Frank shocked the state by losing by less than 1,000 votes.) But, the more I spoke with him, the more I could see his passion for education redesign and his excitement about the direction that the state was already moving in, away from the century-old time-based model (180 days, credit for seat time) and to a personalized learning, anytime, anyplace, student-centered, competency-based model.

Shortly after the election, Frank called me again and said that he wanted to be education commissioner. I might have been nervous about an outsider’s interest in the post, but Frank’s views on the direction of education redesign were already known to me. I am convinced that New Hampshire’s award-winning direction is the right direction. Frank, too, makes the case that our state doesn’t need a new education vision. New Hampshire has won numerous national awards for its efforts to move to a competency-based model. However, in too many school districts, things look no different than they did before the rules changes were made in 2005. Frank argues that what the state needs is someone who can implement the vision. A businessman by trade, Frank argues that if a traditional school leader had the skills to implement the state’s award-winning vision, they’d have already done so, and that now it’s time for someone with a different set of skills.

Makes sense to me. I’m excited!

Fred Bramante is the past chairman and member of the NH State Board of Education. He speaks and consults on education redesign to regional, state, and national organizations.

NEWS & NOTES Senate bills

The state Senate was busy in recent days voting on several bills.

While Republicans’ initiatives largely prevailed and Democrats’ proposals mostly failed to pass, a few bills won bipartisan support.

According to press releases, one bill that passed with bipartisan support would enable the creation of a needle exchange for opioid addicts.

Public health experts argue making clean needles available to illicit drug users while removing potentially dangerous used needles from the streets will help prevent the spread of infections. A similar bill failed to pass last session over concerns it provided undue amnesty for drug possession. After studying the issue over the summer, lawmakers compromised by protecting people who use the exchange from prosecution over residual amounts of drugs in used needles. But the bill maintains the authority of law enforcement to use the presence of drugs in needles as evidence that individuals may have greater quantities of the drug.

New Hampshire is the only state in New England that does not have a needle exchange program. James Vara, the state drug czar, listed a needle exchange among his top priorities in his August 2016 report.

Among other bipartisan bills that passed was an effort to reorganize the Division of Children, Youth and Families, placing it under the authority of a new associate commissioner position, and a bill that would hire a full-time attorney tasked with enforcing the state’s election laws, NHPR reported. Both bills passed unanimously.

A few bipartisan bills aside, Senate Democrats weren’t happy with the outcomes of several votes, according to a statement by Democratic Leader Jeff Woodburn, including one that defeated a proposed minimum wage hike and another passed by Republicans that would limit access to food stamps.

School funding

The House is set to vote on March 23 whether to pay an additional $9 million in education funding to districts that claim they were underpaid due to a spending cap linked to growth that has since been overturned by the courts. The AP reported as many as 24 communities would receive the additional

HIPPO | MARCH 23 - 29, 2017 | PAGE 4

funding. Dover sued the state successfully in 2015 but its settlement did not include the payments for other similarly affected districts.

The bill states any town receiving the funds would waive its right to sue the state over the issue.

Infrastructure

US Attorney

According to a press release, New Hampshire’s U.S. Attorney Emily Gray Rice announced her resignation effective March 10.

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions asked for the resignations of 46 U.S. attorneys appointed by the previous administration. Rice has been a U.S. attorney since January 2016. She was recommended by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and had the support of Republican former Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who previously led the state Justice Department. In a statement, Rice said she was deeply honored to serve the people of the state and extended her gratitude to the many law enforcement agencies she worked with over the past year. First Assistant U.S. Attorney John J. Farley will serve as acting U.S. Attorney.

The Senate Finance Committee gave its approval to a major infrastructure spending plan, first hinted at in Gov. Chris Sununu’s budget address. NHPR reported the bill would immediately release $37 million from the state’s budget surplus to municipalities to help repair their roads and bridges. Sununu previously proposed adding $100 million from the surplus toward a newly created Infrastructure Revitalization Fund. Republican Senate President Chuck Morse said this bill enables some of that money to get to communities that need it sooner, Drug interdiction rather than after the budget is signed Gov. Chris Sununu has proby June 30. Sununu said in a state- posed legislation through Senate ment that he supports the bill.

Edelblut’s donation

New Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut has disclosed that he donated $1,000 to a defense fund for the Croydon School District’s fight against the department he now heads, NHPR reported. The New Hampshire Democratic Party called for Edelblut’s resignation, but he said the donation doesn’t compromise his ability to do his job. Edelblut

made the donation before he was commissioner. The fund, which raised $23,000, was launched in 2015 to help pay for the distruct’s case to defend a funding scheme that used taxpayer dollars to send kids to a private Montessori school. The battle was the subject of legislation that was vetoed by then-Gov. Maggie Hassan. A similar bill passed the Senate in February.

Dairy relief

Dairy farmers could receive $2 million in relief funding from the state if a Senate bill passes the House. The AP reported the House is set to take up the bill on March 23. The move comes in response to an extreme drought exacerbating conditions for an already struggling global dairy market. A sudden drop in global demand resulted in a severe oversupply of milk and a subsequent drop in commodity prices. And when the drought hit New Hampshire, farmers had to reduce the size of their herds or spend more on feed, according to the AP.

CHaD

The Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth raised $268,456 this year from the 10th annual CHaD Battle of the Badges Hockey Championship held March 19, WMUR reported. That brings the 10-year total to almost $2 million. Team Police beat Team Fire 9 to 1 at the SNHU Arena in front of close to 6,000 attendees. Former Manchester police lieutenant Pete Favreau returned to coach Team Police and Deputy Chief Micky Druin of Dover Fire and Rescue returned to coach Team Fire. Last year, the players raised over $135,000, according to the CHaD website.

DCYF DIRECTOR

According to a press release, Gov. Chris Sununu placed Division of Children, Youth and Families Director Lorraine Bartlett on administrative leave after a story in the Concord Monitor reported 1,520 child protective services assessments were closed over a two-day period apparently without going through the normal procedures. The move took place last year just days after Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Jeffrey Meyers was sworn into office. In a joint statement, Sununu and Meyers said they will investigate the closures and determine whether they need to be reopened. Bartlett had already announced plans to retire in April.

Bartlett told the Monitor the children in those cases were found to be in no immediate danger.

Identifying animal disease

State vet lab takes big leap forward with new equipment

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

A new state-of-the-art device acquired by the state Veterinary Diagnostic Lab is helping to identify diseases in animals within hours instead of days — which means a quicker response to prevent a potential outbreak.

The Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Spectrometer is now being used by the lab for regular disease surveillance of livestock, which is a critical way to prevent public health outbreaks, since the majority of infectious diseases in humans possess the ability to jump from animals to humans, according to lab Managing Director Robert Gibson.

While most examples of these animalhopping diseases are viruses (think bird flu, swine flu), some high profile bacteria such as salmonella, E. coli and listeria can be caught early by the lab’s testing equipment, preventing potential foodborne illnesses.

The device is able to scan for bacterial and fungal organisms, but not viruses.

Gibson said they’ve used the equipment so far as part of their routine testing

at dairy farms.

“Cows can get mastitis [inflammation of the udder] and it’s important to be able to identify the organisms that cause the infection … so they can treat the cow or get the cow out of the milking plant,” Gibson said.

Using the traditional method of identifying organisms, a lab worker had to first grow a microbial specimen, which takes

about 18 hours, then spend the next several days mixing the sample with various compounds to see how it would react.

“You would be doing a battery of tests to see how that organism responds and based on those physiological responses you would use that to identify the organism, whether it be E. coli or salmonella, for example,” Gibson said. “In the old reactions, you’re looking for col-

or changes. … You’re looking for visible reactions, which can sometimes also be subjective … and difficult to read.”

Now, the length of time it takes to identify a microorganism is just the 18 hours it takes to grow the sample.

Once it’s ready, a lab worker inserts the sample into the device, and it produces an immediate identification with a certainty score.

It does this by measuring the microscopic weight and movements of the proteins and comparing these to known characteristics in a microbiological database.

“That creates this profile. It’s kind of like a unique fingerprint,” Gibson said.

The new system is so efficient, Gibson said, that the lab can perform significantly more diagnostic tests each year now.

Meanwhile, the cost of running the lab is about the same since the upfront cost and maintenance cost of the device balances out the savings in labor and other materials that are no longer needed.

Most of the $200,000 instrument was paid for by the New Hampshire Agricultural Experimentation Station. The lab also received a donation of $50,000 from a private donor.

Pioneering heart procedure

CMC first in the world to implant heart device in new population of patients

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

In February, Catholic Medical Center in Manchester became the first hospital in the world to implant a stroke-preventing heart implant in a new population of patients.

CMC spokesperson Lauren CollinsCline said the device, called a Watchman, was launched in 2015 and invented to serve people diagnosed with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AFib) who can’t tolerate blood thinners like coumadin. Essentially, it blocks off a pocket in the heart called the left atrial appendage.

“It looks a little bit like a mesh balloon,” Collins-Cline said.

Non-valvular AFib is a neurological disorder that causes the valve to that pocket to open and close irregularly. That leads to blood pooling in the atrial appendage, which leads to clotting, which leads to a stroke if a blood clot comes loose.

“Traditionally [with] these patients, in order to help prevent stroke, we … still recommend anticoagulants,” said Dr. Jamie Kim at CMC. HIPPO | MARCH 23 - 29, 2017 | PAGE 6

The initial clinical study of this device, developed by Boston Scientific, required blood thinners be temporarily prescribed after the surgery, so the first population of patients who could use the device were those who could tolerate using those drugs for a short period of time.

But that left out the group that could potentially benefit the most from the Watchman: people who, due to various physiological issues, can’t risk using blood thinners at all.

The reason for that, Kim said, was an abundance of caution. When a foreign body is implanted into an organ, blood has a tendency to clot on the device, at least for the first 45 days, before a layer of human tissue grows around it. So, without blood thinners, the Watchman runs the risk, in the early days,

of causing or accelerating the very problem it’s meant to prevent: strokes.

In the current study, patients are given a less powerful regimen of drugs that are meant to help prevent clotting.

“We know with stents, that risk is mitigated by aspirin and Plavix,” Kim said.

Patients in the new study will use those drugs instead of coumadin for the first three months after surgery, and neurologists will be added to an already DR. JAMIE KIM diverse team of specialists involved in the procedure to monitor for strokes or minor strokes.

Kim said there was a small study in Europe looking at how the device works without blood thinners and researchers saw positive results. This study involves 100 centers in several countries. CMC is a leader

Not every center is equipped with all those different disciplines to provide this service.

in the project, helping to train other centers in the procedure. Kim performed the first procedure on a female patient in February.

Since then, CMC has stayed ahead of the pack in procedures performed to date.

Kim says one of the reasons CMC was able to do this is the diverse team required, which includes an implanting physician, imaging specialist, anesthesiologist and back-up cardiac surgeon.

“Not every center is equipped with all those different disciplines to provide this service,” Kim said.

The CMC team has come up with best practices to streamline the process and can perform up to four or five of these procedures in a single day. Most centers can only do two or three in a day.

Ultimately, researchers hope to have at least 888 patients enrolled in the clinical study, which includes a control group of people who will not receive the device. As part of a push to get more female patients involved, since they’re traditionally underrepresented in cardiac device trials, the study stipulated 35 percent of the subjects be female.

Artistic security

New driver’s licenses designed to prevent counterfeit

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

The New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles unveiled its new driver’s license design earlier this year, with artistic and technical changes that are intended to better prevent counterfeit.

Larry Crowe at the DMV said one of the most distinctive artistic techniques one notices right away when looking at the new card is guilloche (rhymes with brioche in the French pronunciation).

Where the last license — in use since 2008 — was formatted with solid-color backgrounds, the new cards are covered with faintly colored fine lines that weave and flow in patterns.

On the back, a large Old Man of the Mountain is outlined on the right side with wavy concentric polygons printed in pigments that appear to shift from teal to lavender and back. In the space beside the Old Man is the same continuing pattern but with lighter colors and overlaid with a second pattern.

The state flower is in the center of the front of the card.

“And as long as we were going to put an image there, they decided to [make it] … the purple lilac,” Crowe said.

He said guilloche patterns are made with special equipment and are hard to replicate. Even the color choices were made with security in mind.

“The colors that are on there were chosen while working with the manufacturer. These are very unique colors. They look kind of common, but they’re really not. … They’re very difficult to duplicate.” Crowe said.

“While making it attractive is important, the most important thing to us was to be getting as secure a license as we can for our customers.”

Guilloche patterns have been popular in recent years for preventing counterfeit.

Several states have adopted similar visual features in their driver’s licenses and for years they’ve been common in paper currency. They’re created using a geometric lathe.

While much of the design departs from

NH DMV new license front and back. Courtesy images.

the previous card, especially in the layout of information, which Crowe said aligns with the standard developed by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, some features carried over. Notably, the holographic repeating New Hampshire seal.

On the back is also a large seal only visible under ultraviolet light.

The new design comes at the same time the state is rolling out its new Real ID compliant cards, which will enable cardholders to continue domestic air travel without a passport. The only noticeable feaLARRY CROWE ture related to that is a gold star in the upper right corner, signifying compliance (which requires a photo and Social Security number be saved in the DMV database).

If the license is not Real ID compliant, it will say so beneath the state name in the upper left.

Folks getting a new Real ID compliant license will need to go to the DMV in person and provide a passport, a Social Security Card or a certified copy of their birth certificate, and proof of residency in the state.

The new design was created in part by DMV Deputy Director William Joseph and Department of Safety Assistant Commissioner Richard C. Bailey.

These are very unique colors. ...

They’re very difficult to duplicate.

Dianne Mercier of Manchester is the New Hampshire state president of People’s United Bank. She will be named the 2017 Citizen of the Year by the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce at its annual celebration on April 20.

How did you react when you heard you were getting this award?

Well, I don’t think anybody is ever really prepared to be recognized in this kind of a way. There are so many people doing such important work in this community that you don’t ever really think of yourself in that way. So I was very surprised by it. Andy [Crews, CEO of Autofair and the 2016 winner] and I had become friends.

We got to know each other, actually, working on the Chamber board, and he’s become a friend. … When I found out I was having lunch with Andy, that was really very normal. not uncommon at all. So I wasn’t expecting anything except a pleasant lunch with Andy, but when I got to the restaurant and I saw that the table was set for six, I thought ‘OK, something’s probably not right.’

Where did you grow up and how did that help shape you?

I grew up in many places in the world, actually, because my father was a career Air Force person, so we moved roughly every three to four years until I was a sophomore in high school. And I would say that that shaped me profoundly. When you move to an area like New England, many people have lived here for a very long time, so there’s definitely a deep culture here in New Hampshire that was different from any place I had ever been. But one of the most glorious things about moving every three or four years in your childhood is change becomes a very normal thing for you.

You get acclimated to change. And that has been very helpful for me being in business and industry because, especially in my business, you can expect change pretty regularly and you are cheerful [about] it. So I would say it shaped me in being prepared for things around me changing and ... I actually go seek out change for myself as well.

That teller job that I had was probably the most difficult job in banking that I ever had. … [My] natural curiosity and lack of fear, coupled with being in an industry that really does love to promote from within, those two things and some really good mentors collided to make the progression really steady. [It created] a lot of successive opportunities to go from teller to customer service representative to assistant manager. Then you make a big change from the retail world and you learn how to become a credit analyst and then you become a loan officer and then you seek opportunities to learn how to coach and lead other people. … A lot of those opportunities came about as a result of acquisitions and mergers, so they’re not always scary things.

What accomplishments are you most proud of?

I have worked with some of the most terrific people. I work with them and I work for them. That is the case today and I think that has been the hallmark of my career, is being really surrounded by pretty incredible people.

I’m most proud of that. … I think I chose very well how I surrounded myself and I was fortunate enough that I was included in their circle.

What advice would you give young people who might be starting their careers?

What I would say works for me is just being very comfortable with your curiosity and taking action on it. It’s important to do something and not be something. So go act on your curiosity. If you want to find out about something, if there’s someone that’s doing something that you admire, just pick up the phone and call them or drop them a card.

Most of the opportunities that happen in your life are the result of someone else helping you. You’ve got to actually let people know that you want help or you want to be a part of something. — Ryan Lessard

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Teen dating violence in N.H.

A study by the University of New Hampshire found that one in 10 teens in the state were the victims of physical dating violence over the past year and a slightly larger percentage reported being victims of sexual dating violence. According to the report by the Carsey School of Public Policy at UNH, in the 71 high schools studied, 9.1 percent of teens reported physical violence and 10.9 percent reported sexual violence. The study also found that being female, a racial minority or a member of the LGBTQ community increased the risk of dating violence.

Access to clean drinking water

Residents in Amherst affected by a chemical contamination of the groundwater near a Textiles Coated International plant are one step closer to getting help from the state government to pay for their wells to be replaced by public water. NHPR reported the Senate Finance Committee approved a bill that allocates $5 million in the form of a loan to TCI, which will use the money to pay for new water lines and pay it back to the state with interest. State environmental protection officials detected elevated PFOA levels in the well water of more than 100 homes in the area. They’ve been receiving bottled water since last June.

Voter turnout

A new report compiled by Nonprofit VOTE and the U.S. Elections Project called “America Goes to the Polls” says New Hampshire had the third-highest voter turnout per capita in the 2016 general election.

The report ranked all 50 states in voter turnout and identified policies that helped contribute to high turnout. The results were tabulated based on the number of votes cast as a percentage of each state’s eligible voters; in New Hampshire, 755,580 of 1,042.102 came out, or 72.5 percent. Minnesota was No. 1 with 74.8 percent and Maine was No. 2 with 72.8 percent.

Testimonial for Fred Afshar … “Working with Fred was an absolute pleasure! He is completely committed to his job and clients. He immediately made my husband and me feel like family. We regularly reached out to him throughout the home buying process and he not only responded quickly but made us feel as though we were his biggest and only priority. His years of experience show clearly in everything he does. He is compassionate, brilliant, and hard working. I will (and have) recommended him to any friends/ family looking to buy/sell a home.

He made this somewhat bumpy/ scary process seem easy; and for that, we are forever grateful to him and his team.

If that’s for YOU, give me a call.

I’ll get the job done!

The greatest singleelimination basketball tournament in the world is off and running, and here are the first week’s highlights, along with a few cogent and otherwise observations from this grumpy old fan.

I’d rather go back to when teams played in regions where a school actually was from, to earn bragging rights for being a region’s real champ, instead of to seed the tournament perfectly, which is something upsets always mess up anyway. The closer-than-you-wouldhave-thought 79-70 win by 2-seed Kentucky over neighboring 15-seed Northern Kentucky gives a glimpse at how that might matter to the players. Ditto for the West Virginia-Bucknell 86-80 semi-barnburner.

Speaking of Kentucky, while it wasn’t a stellar stat weekend, we did have Wenyen Gabriel sightings in wins over No. Kentucky and Wichita State. He got nine minutes off the bench in both games while scoring one point and grabbing two rebounds as the Wildcats moved on. That sets up next weekend’s NCAA tournament royalty game when Kentucky gets UCLA; the schools have won the most and second most tournaments in history.

UCLA got there after beating Cincinnati behind 19 and 7 from Lonzo Ball and Kent State in Round I. The latter was a ’70s Vietnam War protest flashback. If it had happened then, the star would have been left-winger radical student protester Bill Walton, once arrested at a UCLA protest vs. the school where the Ohio National Guard infamously shot and killed four students during a 1970 protest.

Now that Lonzo’s mouthy father LaVar has gotten into it with him, TNT’s Charles Barkley may be the only person in the middle of more feuds than Donald Trump. Lavar is now added to a list including LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Scottie Pippen, JaVale McGee, AAU-coddled NBA young’ns, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.

Speaking of potential Celtics draft picks, I don’t know if Washington’s Markelle Fultz is the best player not to play in the tournament since Pete Maravich, but it does bring Pistol Pete to mind. Despite averaging 43.8, 44.2 and 44.5 points a game while scoring an NCAA-record 3,667 points in three years at LSU, he never played in the tournament, done in by a then-32-team tourney that only sent conference champs in a day when Kentucky dominated the SEC. A few more Pete facts. He did his damage before the shot clock and/or three-point play, so give him about 400 more career points if he played now. And he scored 741 for the LSU freshmen team. He did go to the NIT as a senior, when it was still big-time. They lost to Marquette, after its colorful coach Al McGuire told the NCAA to stuff it after they shafted (disrespected in today speak) MU by putting it in the Midwest Regional instead of the Mideast. Since they were ranked second in the country he had a point.

FSU star Jonathan Isaac gets the Darnell Hillman Award for best tournament afro. That baby looks like a naval destroyer – pointed in the front and gets larger and thicker as it goes to the back of the fro-boat.

After seeing ND almost upset by Princeton, did I miss Pete Carroll return to the Tigers bench?

To all my friends who keep telling me that the great competition is why college basketball tournament play is way better than the NBA playoffs: How’d you like that spellbinding 100-62 instant classic between Kansas and UC-Davis? Or UNC-Texas Southern’s more gripping 103-64 thriller?

Seeing Bob Huggins on the sideline for going to the Sweet 16 WVU reminded me I sat next to him and Dave Cowens at the Final Four in Charlotte when Arkansas ended Duke’s two-year reign as national champs. Both guys loved Duke big man Cherokee Parks.

The Johnny Carson “I Did Not Know That” fact is from SI.com’s Michael Rosenberg’s great story about the ordeal of coaching

to eventually be fired at unrealistic Indiana. It turns out just-axed Tom Crean’s brothers-inlaw are Jim and John Harbaugh.

Speaking of Indiana hoops, my favorite sports movie is Hoosiers. I watch it every year during tourney time like people (me included) watch It’s a Wonderful Life at Christmastime.

Dennis Hopper fighting off the DTs to call for the hook and ladder after Gene Hackman gets tossed on purpose gives me the chills (or is it DTs) every time!

The NCAA’s version of the Patriots haters club got their wish when Duke got bounced by South Carolina Sunday. And, oh, by the way, the 32-team tourney also got to SC back in the day. They’re only in the SEC now because after three 1970s Top 5 ranked SC teams got bounced from the ACC tournament, they quit the conference in a fit of pique to be an independent. Then later they joined the SEC after that turned out to be a colossally dumb idea.

I loved seeing another ACC defector, Maryland, knocked off by Xavier in Round I. Plus there were 10 billion cutaway shots of Bill Murray rooting for Mouseketeer, er, Musketeers assistant coach/son Luke. Ditto for Julia Louis-Dreyfus and fellow SNL alum hubby Brad Hall watching son Charlie as Northwestern upset Vanderbilt. No references here to the Big Dance after seeing how bad Elaine Benes was as a hoofer. The proud parents are 1983 NU grads.

Matthew Fisher-Davis purposely fouling NU’s Bryant McIntosh with just 15 seconds left and Vandy up one was the tourney’s yikes moment so far. Not quite Michigan’s Chris Webber calling time out in the 1991 final vs.

North Carolina with none left. But still, ouch!

At least for the players. For the refs, it was calling a flagrant foul on Seton Hall’s Desi Rodriguez that sealed Arkansas’ Round I win. Jaylen Barford violently lurched forward after being fouled with 22 seconds only because he inadvertently tripped over Rodriguez’s foot a split second after the foul. In the words of David Puddy, that was bogus, man!

Community Supported Agriculture programs provide a weekly allotment of a variety of foods — typically in-season produce, but also meats, eggs and dairy products — that come directly from a local farm. “[CSAs] give … members the freshest, healthiest food they could possibly eat, short of growing it themselves,” said Anthony Graham of the Temple-Wilton Community Farm, which has the longest continuously operating CSA program in the United States.

“You know who your farmer is, and as a member you’re welcome to come and see the animals, to walk around the farm

and to know that this farm is doing what it says it’s doing.”

Graham said CSA members are supporting local farmers by giving them a steady financial base — and using a CSA is cost-effective for members, too.

“If you’re really using your farm [for its CSA], you’re getting a deal,” he said.

“You go down to [the supermarket] and buy only organic, and walk out with two bags, just see what your bill looks like. It’s going to be over $100.”

For most farms that have spring season CSAs, sessions have already started, but many will take new members and prorate the cost for the remaining weeks. Sign-ups for summer sessions are currently underway at most farms. (For a list of CSAs and what they

offer, see box starting on p. 16). “[CSAs] have definitely grown as a phenomenon over the last 20 years,” said Gail McWilliam Jellie, director of agricultural development for the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food.

Part of that growth has meant offering more products. While a majority of CSAs started with produce only, she said, “many farms that have had the resources to do so have [started to offer] more diverse products.”

How CSAs work

In most cases, a CSA customer pays a farm a certain amount up front to receive products during that farm’s growing season. Farms typically sell shares of their product in durations that can last anywhere from six to 20 or more weeks, according to

It started in NH New Hampshire has a long history with CSAs and other direct-to-consumer farm programs. In fact, the Granite State’s three most populous counties — Hillsborough, Rockingham and Merrimack counties — all ranked in the top 100 in the United States for direct-to-consumer sales in 2012, with all three making more than $2.5 million each, according to the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food.

Department Commissioner Lorraine Merrill credited this brisk business between farmer and shopper to the fact that lots of people live near farms (or spots where farms go to distribute their goods) in those counties.

HIPPO | MARCH 23 - 29, 2017 | PAGE 12

With an affluent group of consumers relatively nearby, CSAs offer ways for farms to capitalize on those markets, she said.

It all started back in the mid-1980s when farmers Trauger Groh, Lincoln Geiger and Anthony Graham founded the Temple-Wilton Community Farm in Wilton. In addition to being the first farm in the Granite State to implement a CSA program, the farm is unique in that its share season runs year-round, from June 1 through May 31 the following year.

“We had this group of people who were interested in different aspects of farming, and we wanted to put it all together,” Graham said. “We had a different kind of view of how

the farm was going to be. We saw it as being a year-round farm, and that would include both animals and vegetables. There would be a more fully rounded farm, as it were.”

Graham said Groh came up with the idea to install a system in which people pay the farm what they can afford and get what they need in exchange after he had visited a village in Copake, New York. At the time, a full-time farmer at that village was being given a budget to grow food for its residents and deliver it to them.

The Temple-Wilton Community Farm and the Indian Line Farm in Egremont, Mass.

— which Graham said were founded by

farmers who were friendly with each other — started their first full seasons with CSAs in 1986, making them the first two farms in the country to have CSAs. Within the next few years, the concept spread across farms all over the country largely through word of mouth.

“There was this buzz that started about what some of these farms up in the Northeast were doing, and we started getting visitors,” Graham said. “At the same time, people were generally starting to become a little more aware of organic, and were starting to think about the food that they were eating.”

son, from kale, lettuce and other herbs in the early summer months to beets, broccoli, potatoes and more in the late summer to early fall.

“We try to be in tune with our shareholders,” said Linda Ellis of Charmingfare Farm. “At the end of the year, we might ask them if there is anything specific they would like us to grow more of. People are looking for value in CSAs and they are also looking for the value of eating local, so we want to make sure they are getting their money’s worth.”

Other programs allow you to physically visit the farm and pick up whatever you want that they are offering, or to go to a designated pick-up location to fill your own box.

And then there’s the farm credit program, which is essentially like a gift card you get for the farm that has a balance on it, and you use it to buy whatever you want at the farm, at a small discount (say, 5 percent), until the balance runs out.

Non-veggie CSAs programs vary as well. Meat CSAs often offer shares by the pound either per week or per month. For eggs, a dozen at a time is common, either per week or per month. And for milk, it can be by the pint, quart or gallon.

What to do with your food Anna Muncy of Local Harvest CSA said among the benefits of joining the cooperative, which is currently accepting new members for the upcoming share seasons, is receiving a newsletter subscription with recipes and storage tips for the product you receive. She said during the growing season, customers can expect an updated newsletter each week.

“We don’t want to just throw a head of lettuce at you and say ‘good luck,’” she said.

“We want to make sure that you know how to clean it, how to store it and how to keep it for as long as possible … because you know, with the example of lettuce, you can

think of doing salads with it, but you actually also have really diverse options. You can cut it up and put it in tacos or burritos. You can put it in sandwiches.”

Muncy added that Local Harvest CSA is also in the planning stages of developing CSA informational classes for new and existing members who are interested in learning about the program.

“We really just want to help people use their shares,” she said. “What seems to be the most intimidating thing for a new member joining a CSA is the question of ‘What do I do with everything?,’ because it really is an investment for you.”

Kale Chips Courtesy of Local Harvest CSA

Remove leaves from the stems of the kale and roughly tear it up into large pieces.

Throw away or compost the stems. Wash and spin the leaves until thoroughly dry.

Add kale leaves into a large bowl. Massage in the oil until all the nooks and crannies are coated in oil. Now sprinkle on the spices/seasonings and toss to combine.

Spread the kale out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, being sure not to overcrowd the kale. You may have to bake the kale in several batches.

Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the pan, and bake for another 12 to 15 minutes more until the kale begins to firm up. The kale will look shrunken, but this is normal.

Cool the kale on the sheet for 3 minutes.

Repeat this process for the other half of the bunch.

½ bunch of kale leaves 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1½ tablespoons nutritional yeast ¾ teaspoon chili powder ½ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon smoked paprika ¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt or pink Himalayan salt ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Jill Hall, director of programs at Seacoast Eat Local. Most farms have CSA growing seasons in the spring and summer; some have additional seasons in the winter, and some have them year-round.

“Generally speaking, the pickup options for CSAs have to do with the farm’s infrastructure,” Hall said. “They might have boxed or pickup shares, but they may also have farm credit programs or pickup options at farm stands. … Every farm is an individual business with its own business plan, so they’ll model their program around what’s going to work for their business.”

What you get for each CSA varies by farm and which program you choose, Hall said. With some you’ll get a pre-packed box with the same foods each week. With others, you’ll get different items in a pre-packed box that is dependent on the growing season.

Charmingfare Farm in Candia, for example, currently has a variety of summer shares available for sign-ups that begin the week of May 24 and continue through early October. As part of its vegetable share ($625 for 20 weeks) you’ll get a several different fruits and vegetables depending on the time of the growing sea-

“It’s time to taste the natural difference of our meat & poultry” Livestock raised at Charmingfare Farm spent most of their time living outdoors on green pastures.

The animals receive a properly balanced diet with absolutely NO HORMONES or ANTIBIOTICS, along with a fresh clean supply of water at all times.

How to choose a CSA

Different product options for CSA shares — including those that include vegetables only, meat only or a variety of food groups — allow customers to address their specific dietary needs, according to Amy Haller of Brookford Farm in Canterbury.

Brookford has several different signup options, including a “whole-diet base share” with vegetables, dairy, beef, pork and eggs. But shares of just beef or pork, or just vegetables, are also available.

“Most people, when they are choosing a CSA, they try to steer things toward different lifestyles, because there is a wide variety of eaters out there,” Haller said. “It depends on what their diet is. … You’re getting a good amount of meat [with the meat share], so meat certainly has to be a large part of your diet.”

Charmingfare Farm has CSA shares for livestock, pasture eggs and vegetables.

Ellis said vegetable shares are typically the most common for first-time customers, but after experiencing how that works, they might move on to buying a specific kind of meat per pound.

“It really is about what the families’ structure is in their own homes on how they purchase the foods they consume,” Ellis said.

Why you want to sign up for a CSA in the first place might also help you determine 2017 CSA Directory Gail McWilliam Jellie, director of agricultural development for the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food, said the department compiles a CSA directory for farms across the state each year. The 2017 CSA directory is expected to be available on the department’s website (agriculture.nh.gov) by late April. “[The directory] is an avenue that people can use as a marketing tool to help find a CSA in your area, and from there you can determine what products are being offered,” she said.

which one to go with, according to Hall.

“That could be anything from a motivated philosophical ideology about how their food is grown, or it could be more about trying to help small businesses, or there could be a convenience factor,” she said. “I think for a lot of people, the location of a farm with a CSA [relative] to their home is the most primary, but most people do have the sense that they want to know and understand where their food is grown, and especially if they have young children, they might use a CSA to help educate them on where their food comes from.”

Farms that offer different pickup locations can be good options for people who don’t live close by. Brookford Farm, for example, has more than a dozen locations across the state where you can register to pick up its CSA products, from Nashua to as far north as Plymouth. The farm also offers several share options for each of its three CSA seasons, and different payment options.

“The unique thing about these CSA programs is that while you’ll find that most of them have pay-up-front structures, ours have different types of payment plans available,” Haller said. “So you can choose to either pay in full up front or make monthly payments. … Some people might make a down payment if the start of the season is a few months out and then pay another portion halfway through, so you can split it up.”

If you’re looking for variety, some farms belong to cooperative CSA programs. For example, six Concord-area farms participate in Local Harvest CSA through a variety of vegetable shares and some livestock shares during the spring, summer and fall. A membership with Local Harvest, then, would yield food from any of these farms: Kearsarge Gore Farm in Warner, Blue Ox Farm in Enfield, Good Earth Farm in Weare, Vegetable Ranch in Warner, Middle Branch Farm in New Boston and Stoneridge Farm in Bradford.

ARTS Bringing musicals back Central students go big with Fame

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

This weekend, Manchester High School Central presents Fame — its biggest show in years.

The musical, produced by the Maskers Drama Club and Central Community Players, hits the stage Friday, March 24, and Saturday, March 25. It’s based on the 1980 film of the same name and centers on students from New York City’s High School of Performing Arts, who all dream of making it big someday.

Director Dan Pelletier said they chose Fame because of its accessibility (it didn’t require intensive props or sets), its ability to accommodate a large cast and, of course, its relatability to high school students. Who can speak better on the issues and pressures teenagers face than people living it?

“We thought the play offered a variety of different types of roles and that it would allow us to give students the best chance to succeed,” Pelletier said via phone, just over a week before showtime.

Even so, the production has required a great deal of work for everyone involved.

Many cast members, even the eldest, have very little musical theater experience. Some have performed in small middle school Fame Where: Manchester High School Central, 207 Lowell St., Manchester When: Friday, March 24, at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, March 25, at 6:30 p.m.

Admission: $12

shows or with local youth companies, but for most, it’s all new.

Central used to have two student drama clubs. Maskers traditionally produced student-run plays, while the Central Community Players tackled musicals with the help of adult advisors. But about a decade ago, the latter group disbanded, and musicals disappeared at Central until 2015, when the school hired Pelletier to direct Is There Life After High School? followed by Godspell in 2016.

For dance- and music-heavy Fame, rehearsals began in December — a bit early for a late March production, but Pelletier wanted to give kids time to learn the lines, music and choreography, and the medium itself.

“We’re basically re-introducing musical theater to the school, and I wanted to move at a pace that allowed us to give them a foundation for acting and dance and musical theater,” Pelletier said.

The kids aren’t complaining; they’re happy to have the extra time.

“For the majority of the people here, this is their first show and their first time dancing. This is a new thing for a lot of us,” said Lydon Philbrook, who plays Schlomo Metzenbaum, a violinist.

Every day from 3 to 5 p.m., cast and crew members can be found practicing in the auditorium or hanging posters around the school. Between rehearsals, they’re making costumes with the help of parents who lived in the ’80s and a Pinterest board load-

ed with ideas. (Emma Sarette, who plays dancer and singer Mabel Washington, said she was altering her mom’s maroon leotard from the ’80s.)

Students, parents and grandparents built the set the weekend before the musical’s premiere, and local companies like the Nashua Actorsingers and Seacoast Repertory Theatre lent costumes and equipment.

The messages and themes in Fame hit home for many of the actors involved.

“I think the things I connect with most are the relationships and the pressure. The pressure is unbelievable for these students.

And all of us have experienced pressure, whether it’s school or family or something else,” said Dustin Blake, who plays Joe Vegas, during a recent rehearsal.

And then there’s the uncertainty of what comes next, which hits harder for the upperclassmen, who are applying to colleges and deciding what they want to do and how they’re going to get there.

Pelletier thinks Fame presents the most difficult acting challenge for Central students thus far. The stories may be relatable, but the musical spans years, and so actors need to show growth in their characters.

“We get to see some of these characters over the course of four years,” Pelletier said. “The biggest difficulty with the show is figuring out how we can show they’re not the same at the beginning of the play as they are at the end of the play. For some of the younger members of the cast who might be freshmen or sophomores, they might not have had the opportunity yet to experience that growth.”

The play is by Charles Dickens, who died before he could finish the story, and it takes the stage at the Dana Center for the Humanities, 100 Saint Anselm Drive, Manchester, Friday, March 24, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, March 25, at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, March 26, at 2 p.m.; Friday, March 31, at 7:30 p.m.; and Saturday, April 1, at 7:30 p.m. In a special twist, the Saint Anselm students call on the audience at each performance to determine key plot points.

“The cast has a lot to remember. Everyone must be on their game to make the appropriate changes each night based on the audience’s decisions,” said the play’s director, Joel Mercier, in a press release.

“There are over a hundred possible ending combinations depending on how the audience votes.” Tickets are $15, available at anselm.edu/dana or by calling 641-7700.

Artist affirmations

Sakellarios, Cummings on making and selling work

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

113685

Monique Sakellarios is a painter first and foremost, but when it comes to running Maison de l’Art, she’s like a scout, always on the lookout for the next great New Hampshire artist.

Her tiny Nashua gallery tucked away on East Pearl Street is like a “Parisian boutique with New Hampshire prices,” in her words; every square inch of wallspace is covered by her and her artists’ paintings, prints and mixed media pieces. She knows the story behind each one.

“When I start talking about my artists, I can’t stop,” said Sakellarios during a recent interview at the gallery. “Anything I carry in here, I have to love it. If I love it, I’ll sell it.”

Her latest recruit is Michael Cummings, who owns Crosby Bakery a couple doors down. She’d been inside the shop many times to buy sandwiches, cookies or coffee, but learned about a year ago from one of her regular customers (and one of his employees) that Cummings is also an artisan wood turner. When he’s not baking, he’s making bowls, cups and spoons from cherry, maple, white birch, American hornbeam and sycamore trees.

“He first said to me, ‘I’m not interested in selling it. I give it away,’” Sakellarios said.

“But I said, it’s quite rewarding to sell. It’s not the money. It’s the appreciation. When people are ready to part with their money for something you do, that means they really love it.”

Cummings likes working with his hands; he’s been baking from scratch the past 50 years, and his house is filled with his own shelves, cabinets and hutches. He learned to turn at Merrimack High School adult education courses in 2012 and became hooked.

Perhaps it was in his blood; his uncle, Norman Stevens, is the author of three books featuring artisan-made wooden spoons and has an enormous collection. Cummings is particularly fascinated by the trance he enters while making a bowl.

“You’re in your own world. You don’t think about anything else. You’re 100 percent devoted to what you’re doing,” Cummings said. “The bowl is inside the wood. …They’ll dictate to you what they’re going to look like when they’re done. If you try to fight it, they’re not going to come out that good.”

He geeks out whenever he finds wood he knows will transform into fantastic pieces — like a burl that grow on the side of trees Maison de l’Art

(“You never know what you’re going to get inside!”) or spalted wood, which contains coloration caused by fungi.

“Sycamore is the most boring wood. It’s just plain old white. But this is spalted,” Cummings said, picking up a bowl lined with dark spots and stripes. “I get goosebumps just talking about it. I’m not kidding.”

Sakellarios has since sold four of Cummings’ pieces, and she expects she’ll sell many more. She’s like a cheerleader for her artists, encouraging good work and pushing them to make more. About 95 percent of them are from Greater Nashua.

“Look at this one! How interesting that is,” Sakellarios said, plucking a wooden bowl from the gallery window and holding it up against the light. “Isn’t it gorgeous? You can see the light through the wood. … I’m not a wood collector. But I can see the beauty in this. And talking to him makes me appreciate it even more, because I understand a little more about it.”

Sakellarios would like Cummings to carve full-time once he retires, and he would too; until then, his days are packed, running a business, spending time with grandchildren, raising chickens and pigeons and gardening.

His next step is to try to get juried into the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen.

But he had to admit, Sakellarios was right; it’s affirming, to sell your work and leave your mark.

“Sometimes my students don’t want to sell something because they’re attached to it. I tell them, ‘You’re going to do better! Don’t get attached!’ I’m not attached to my work.

I always think that what I do next is going to be better,” Sakellarios said. “We’re all going to die someday, but my paintings are not going to die. Your bowls are not going to die.

The more people who have them, the more immortal you are. Think about it.”

The 22nd annual event is happening at the Expo Center of the Radisson Hotel in Manchester over three days, on Friday, March 24, from 1 to 8 p.m., on Saturday, March 25, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and on Sunday, March 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Our mission when we started the expo was to celebrate all New Hampshire businesses, from the tiniest micro-businesses in the state to the much larger,” said Heidi Copeland, publisher of Business NH Magazine, which organizes the event each year.

“So we look at this as an opportunity to showcase all of the things that are manufactured here in New Hampshire in one place.”

About 140 local exhibitors are 22nd annual Made in NH Try it and Buy it Expo When: Friday, March 24, 1 to 8 p.m., Saturday, March 25, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, March 26, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: Radisson Hotel Expo Center, 700 Elm St., Manchester Cost: $9 for adults, $8 for seniors ages 65 and up, $3 for children ages 2 to 12, free for children ages 2 and under Visit: millyardcommunications. com

expected to attend all three days of the expo, and visitors can expect a wide variety, Copeland said. All exhibitors must either make a product or provide a service in New Hampshire.

“What’s unique about the expo is the ‘Try it and Buy it’ aspect of it,” she said. “People can bring their appetite and pick up food along the way.”

But you’ll find more than just food and drinks over the course of the three days of the expo. WMUR News 9 will be bringing a green screen, for example, for kids and adults to learn about how television news is produced. Local painters and authors will also be there to showcase their paintings and books, like K.M. Doherty of Dover and Richard L. Hatin of Hooksett.

Copeland said other exhibitors

appearing at this year’s expo include the Mill Fudge Factory in Bristol, the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Northern New England in Londonderry, Canobie Lake Park in Salem, and dozens of others that include restaurants, breweries, bakeries, private medical practices, pet stores, jewelry stores and much more.

New to this year’s expo will be a Libation Station featuring several local wineries, including Fulchino Vineyard in Hollis, Hobbs Tavern & Brewing Co. in West Ossipee, Hermit Woods Winery in Meredith, Summit Winery in Westmoreland, Appolo Vineyards in Derry and Moonlight Meadery in Londonderry.

Live entertainment is also planned during all three days of the expo.

“We’ll have Irish step dancers,

we’ll have a jazz singer and we’ll have a magician come in and do some magic shows for the kids,” Copeland said.

She added that the list of vendors changes every year with new exhibitors.

“We usually have a turnover rate [for vendors] of about 35 percent,” she said. “We do a lot of promotion and reaching out to different organizations. … Sometimes people will come to the expo and just check it out for the first year and then sign up as an exhibitor for the second year. … It’s kind of a twopronged thing in that we want to provide great entertainment to the public while also introducing them to a business in the state they may not know about.”

Fruit tree work

March is a good time for pruning

IN/OUT THE GARDENING GUY

A well pruned apple tree in full bloom or loaded with fruit is a feast for the eyes. Now is a good time to work on your trees – though you can prune in any month without damaging your tree. Farmers of yesteryear pruned their fruit trees in March, probably because there was no planting and weeding to do.

Most orchardists stop pruning when the flowers open in May because working in the tree then will knock off potential fruit.

Before pruning a tree I walk around it a few times, looking at it carefully to determine its basic nature. What shape is it genetically programmed to be? Some trees want to grow lean and tall (particularly pears), others want to develop a thick, dense canopy, and a few seem to like an open, somewhat sparse canopy. Some send up many vertical water sprouts every year, others few. But you can sculpt your tree to be almost anything you want – within reason.

I do insist on a clear trunk up at least 3 or 4 feet from the ground, or even more. This allows me to get to the trunk of the tree to pick fruit, to prune or to mow beneath it. Ideally, low branches are cut off when a tree is small.

But if not, start there this year.

Where you make your pruning cut is important for tree health. Don’t cut branches flush to the trunk or a bigger branch. Don’t cut into the swollen area at the base of a branch, an area called the “branch collar.” You can often see a distinct edge to the collar where the wrinkles in the bark in the branch collar stop and smooth bark of the branch begins.

But don’t cut off branches too far from the trunk, either. That creates stubs that will die and slowly rot away – leaving an open wound where disease can enter.

Cutting a large branch requires three cuts to avoid tearing the bark of the trunk: First, go out the branch a foot or more, and make an undercut. Cut a third of the way through the branch from below. Then move your saw a little farther out the branch and cut down, from the top. Cut right through.

A heavy branch will probably start to drop when you are about half way through the second cut, and the bark will begin to rip. But the undercut will stop the rip, and allow the heavy branch to fall to the ground. Then you can make your third cut near the branch collar.

Remember this: it’s always better to take a few larger branches than 50 smaller ones.

And it’s less work, too. Don’t nibble away at your tree like a deer. Be decisive. In any given year you can remove up to 20-25 percent of the (potential) leaves on a tree. Take all dead branches, too, they don’t count. If you rub a branch with your fingernail and you expose a

green layer, the branch is alive.

Pruning saws have changed and improved over the years. The bow saw I used as a Boy Scout is outmoded. Tri-cut saws, even relatively small folding saws, are sharp and able to go through wood like termites on speed.

Never use a dull or rusty saw. The same goes for your pruners and loppers. Bypass pruners (which work like scissors) are better than anvil-type pruners, which crush branches.

Your goal in pruning is to open up the tree, allowing sunshine to reach every leaf and breezes to promote drying of leaves after a rain or heavy dew. Most fungal diseases thrive when leaves and fruit are constantly wet.

So what to remove? If two branches are touching, remove one. If one branch is directly over another, shading it, remove one or the other. Your choice. I look for fruit spurs when deciding which to remove. Fruit spurs are from an inch to 5 inches long and terminate in one or more fat buds. They will open up to multiple flowers and leaves.

I also remove the “dumb branches” – those that instead of reaching out and grabbing sunshine are headed back into the interior of the tree. Not sure why they do that, but they’ve got to go. Darwin would approve.

Not sure if you should remove a branch?

Ask yourself what the branch will be like in five years, or 10. If it’s going to crash into another branch in a few years, take it out now.

And after you’ve removed a big branch, never have second thoughts. In no time others will grow to fill the gap.

For me, pruning is not just about getting the most flowers or fruit from a tree, it’s about creating a beautiful form. In winter, especially, I enjoy looking at a well-pruned tree as sculpture. I prune professionally and love to restore old apple trees. And even though I’m 70 years old, I love to climb to the top of old apple trees, communing with Mother Nature and taking time to enjoy the beauty she has created. I hope I get to keep on climbing trees until the very end of my days.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, After reading your column on the several pieces of sterling recently, I have to ask how you get prices for appraisals. For instance, you said the value of a fork was around $15.

J Haverhill, Mass.

Dear J, I want to thank you for your letter regarding the column I wrote on sterling flatware recently.

When appraising sterling it’s a tough market. It’s hard refer to the internet and its fluctuating prices. It’s also tough to go to a replacement company for an accurate value. They buy inexpensively and hold on to the patterns till someone is looking to add to a set. But the internet is not a reliable source.

Sterling flatware is tough when it comes to determining value, as I said; some of it is worth no more than scrap value because it is mass made. If you have a common pattern and it is monogrammed and no one is looking for it, it goes to someone who is looking to melt it (so sad but true). Now that’s not to say that some makers and patterns don’t bring a high value. As I said in my column, the maker and the piece makes a world of difference.

One fork can bring $15 (if it is common and not very desirable), but another fork with a different maker and pattern can bring $100+. Some patterns that are silver

plated as well can bring more than a sterling one. So when I say that fork is in the $15 range, to me, in this market as a standalone piece, it is. Now maybe if you had a whole set it would be worth more for all of it (again depending on pattern and maker).

The internet and insurance appraisals are very tricky and not accurate for a real market value. I have seen and purchased sets that were appraised 20 years ago and they are referring to strictly replacement cost.

But there is a whole lot more to valuing it, which is why each piece or set needs to be looked at individually before a value can be determined.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Is beaten-up car with a rap sheet worth saving?

Dear Car Talk: My 2007 Silverado was stolen and used in some robberies. I was in Ohio, and upon learning that the police were looking for me, I contacted them and found out that

By Ray Magliozzi my truck had been stolen and now has a rap sheet! My camper shell was removed and the mud flaps cut off. They must have done some rough riding in the truck, as it is now slightly twisted. The insurance company says the frame is cracked, and they want to total the truck. I have taken it to my mechanic, and he put it up on the lift and had three mechanics looking under it, and none of them found a crack. There are a lot of other things wrong with it, though: – Steering rack and pinion – Replace intermediate shaft – Oil-pan gasket rear main seal – Replace clutch kit – Lube oil and filter repeat – Alignment Total cost: $3,184.20 But my mechanic says other things could pop up later. The outside of the truck has minimal damage; most damage is internal.

My question to you is: Should I take the dis-

mantle fee ($3,400) for the truck and use that to fix the internal stuff, or just take the total loss and find a newer-model vehicle? The truck was well-maintained before this happened, and got great mileage on the freeway, and I travel a lot. Oh wise one, I need a voice of reason. Sincerely – B.J. I can’t give you a definitive answer, but I think the biggest question mark is the frame.

Rather than ask your regular mechanic if the frame is cracked, take the car to a collision shop that does frame and alignment work, and ask those guys to evaluate it. You even can ask your insurance company which shop it used for its appraisal, and ask that shop to show you the crack.

If the frame really is cracked or bent, I’d be tempted to take the money and let the truck go.

If the frame can’t be straightened out, you’ll never be able to align the truck properly, and you’ll end up joining the Tire-of-the-Month Club. Not to mention the stiff neck you’ll get from always having to look over your shoulder as the truck drives sideways.

So, you want someone with some real expertise in frames to give you a professional opinion on that – not the guys who do oil changes and brake jobs. The frame is the make-or-break issue.

If the insurance company is wrong, and the

frame turns out to be OK, then you can take your chances if you want to. It sure sounds like they beat the heck out of the truck, so your mechanic is right that it’s possible more damage will crop up.

But on the other hand, you’ll also be getting a bunch of brand-new parts – plus a great story to tell. I mean, who else’s truck has its own mug shot? That’s cool.

Dear Car Talk: I have a 2008 Chevy Malibu, with 53,300 miles. About six months ago, the check engine light came on, but went off within several days. This continued -- on, off, on, off -- for several months. Now it stays on all the time. According to a local auto-parts store, the “error code” is P-0013 and P-0014.

I Googled the code and it says something about a “cam location sensor.” The car runs fine. Should I be concerned? Is fixing or adjusting it beyond the ability of an average mechanical person, like me? My friends say to put a piece of black electrical tape over the light. – Mike Your friends must be regular readers of the column, Mike.

Actually, this is not a good candidate for the black-tape solution. The cam sensor tells the computer the position of the camshaft. There’s

also a crankshaft position sensor. The inputs from those sensors have to line up perfectly so that the spark fires at the right nanosecond.

If the spark doesn’t fire exactly when it’s supposed to, performance will start to degrade, pollution will increase and, eventually, the car will protest by putting itself into what’s called “Limp Home Mode.” Which is exactly what it sounds like. And you’d better hope that when it goes into “Limp Home Mode,” you’re not just leaving Cousin Eldred’s place two states away.

There’s no adjustment for this; the sensor either works or it doesn’t. And in this case, according to your car’s computer, it doesn’t.

So it needs to be replaced.

The good news is, I think you can handle this, Mike. The part costs about $50. It’s located on the side of the head on four-cylinder Malibus, or in between the heads behind the water pump on six-cylinder versions. It’ll be a lot easier to find once you have the new one in your hand and you know what it looks like.

And it’s a simple fix: I think it comes out with one bolt. Then you unplug the old one, plug and bolt in the new one, and you’re done.

It’s not quite as cheap as applying black tape, but you’ll feel a lot more smug satisfaction when you’re done.

Camped out

New Hampshire Camping and RV Show returns

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Spring has sprung, and with summer on its heels, longtime and prospective campers can expect a one-stop shop for all things pertaining to the great outdoors at the New Hampshire Camping and RV Show.

The 45th annual event will be held over three days at the New Hampshire Sportsplex in Bedford, on Friday, March 24, from 1 to 8 p.m., on Saturday, March 25, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and on Sunday, March 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. With more than 100 exhibitors and representatives from more than 50 New Hampshire campgrounds, the event is the largest camping exhibition in the Granite State.

“The show is always held this time of year because it’s usually when people are starting to plan out their summer vacations,” said Carol Fusaro of Sullivan Creative, who works with the New Hampshire Campground Owners’ Association to put on the show each year. “It’s sort of like the opening pitch for the summer camping season.”

Fusaro said the show attracts hundreds of visitors each year and can be for anyone who has camped for a long time or is relatively new to the activity and interested in learning more.

“It will be a great environment to explore what’s available and out there in terms of campgrounds,” she said. “A lot of different campground owners from New Hampshire and other New England states will be there, so you’ll be able to learn about the different places to camp around New England. … Some of the exhibitors will also have special show deals, so it will be a good opportunity to take advantage of that.”

Other exhibitors will include RV dealers showcasing their vehicles, so visitors will get to view different sizes and see what the insides of them look like. All of the latest

models from the exhibitors are expected to attend. There will also be a variety of exhibitors selling tents, food and other accessories related to outdoor camping.

Fusaro said state organizations like the New Hampshire Department of Travel and Tourism, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, White Mountains Attractions and others will be setting up shop with booths of their own offering information about recreational activities and attractions, and other local opportunities for swimming, hunting, fishing, hiking and more.

“You might do a lot of searching online for information on camping, but here you’ll get to meet with campground owners and other organizations and get a personal introduction to what there is that’s available,” Fusaro said. “Camping tends to be a fairly reasonably priced vacation as well, when you compare it to other types of vacations.”

Sunday will be Kids Day at the show, with opportunities to jump in bounce houses, compete in scavenger hunts and take photos with campground mascots. The Bektash Shrine Clowns will be making an appearance that day, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“Sunday definitely tends to be more of a family day, but you see all ages at this show, just because camping is an activity for everyone,” she said.

45th annual New Hampshire Camping and RV Show When: Friday, March 24, 1 to 8 p.m., Saturday, March 25, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, March 26, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Where: New Hampshire Sportsplex, 68 Technology Drive, Bedford Cost: $12 entrance fee person (cash at the door only), and free for kids 12 and under. Visitors who bring two nonperishable food items for donation to the New Hampshire Food Bank receive $2 off the admission ticket.

FOOD Getting sappy

Maple Weekend features sugar house tours, tastings and more

By Angie Sykeny

News from the local food scene

asykeny@hippopress.com

By Angie Sykeny

You can watch maple syrup being made and try maple treats like sugar-on-snow during the 21st annual New Hampshire Maple Weekend, happening Saturday, March 25, and Sunday, March 26. Nearly 100 sugar houses all over the state will be open to the public and offering tours, demonstrations, tastings, family activities and more.

Jim Fadden, president of the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association, said that Maple Weekend provides a unique opportunity to visit sugar houses, which often have irregular hours based on the weather.

“Weather is very important to the production of maple syrup, so it’s difficult for them to be open for tours and things on demand,” he said. “However, Maple Weekend means that they’re going to be open, for sure. If the weather doesn’t work, we’ll stage the boiling demonstration. You won’t be disappointed if you drive to one.”

Most sugar houses will offer tours and demonstrations of various stages of the maple production process, as well as samples of their maple syrup and other maple products like maple candies, maple coffees and more. Many will also have prepared breakfast, lunch and snack items like home-

made donuts, maple buns and biscuits, maple hot dogs, maple cotton candy and maple ice cream sundaes. One of the most anticipated maple treats at Maple Weekend, Fadden said, is sugar-on-snow.

“It’s maple syrup cooked down and ladled [on] top of snow or chipped ice so that it forms a taffy,” he said. “It takes time and effort to prepare, so it’s not something that’s readily available every day at the sugar house. It’s a real treat.”

Other sugar houses will offer visits with live farm animals, horse-drawn wagon rides and pony rides, live music, raffles and prizes, hands-on activities and more. In addition to the sugar house events, many restaurants will be featuring maple-inspired menu specials, and some inns and hotels will have special Maple Weekend lodging packages.

“It’s a statewide tradition,” Fadden said.

“The Northeast is pretty much the maple realm of the world. It doesn’t happen anywhere else like it does here, so it’s a unique experience.”

Roy worked with each producer directly to choose barrels that were unique and highquality and would appeal to New Hampshire consumers.

“We went through and tasted multiple barrels and looked for specific flavor profiles we thought people would enjoy on different levels,” he said. “Each has a distinct taste, so it’s really an exclusive item. Once these barrels are gone, they can’t be replicated again.”

Three renowned brand ambassadors — Dave Yan of Casa Noble, Chris Spake of Patrón and Kevin Vanegas of Herradura — will take part in special events surrounding the tequilas, including tastings, meet-and-greets and bottle signings, demos and educational seminars. They’ll talk with customers about the distilling and aging process and point out variations in the flavor profiles of each of their brand’s featured tequilas.

“It’s a chance to become more involved with these brands and learn about their history and meet with the producers, and consumers really react to that,” Roy said. “It’s like meeting your favorite band. They’re the rock stars when it comes to liquor in New Hampshire.”

Bottles of all tequilas will be available for purchase at all of the special events and will hit shelves at select New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet stores in early April.

Most of the special menus and menu items are crafted by the head chef exclusively for Restaurant Week and are not regular offerings.

“It’s like a limited-time offer,” Elitharp said. “Even restaurants that you’ve been going to for years can show you something new.”

Nine local chefs have been chosen as ambassadors for this year’s NH Restaurant Week, based on their culinary vision and what they bring to the New Hampshire restaurant scene: Nimesh Maharjan of Tuscan Kitchen, Jonathan Cox of Three Chimneys Inn & ffrost Sawyer Tavern, Nicole Barreira of the Great NH Restaurants group (T-Bones, Cactus Jack’s and Copper Door), Dan St. Jean of The Common Man, Edward Ceccherini of The Bistro at LaBelle Winery, Matt Provencher of The Foundry, Adam Parker of Fratello’s, Scott Ouellette of Magic Foods Restaurant Group (O Steaks & Seafood and Canoe) and Peter Agostinelli of Bedford Village Inn. “We were able to get a nice range of chefs this year,” Elitharp said. “I think highlighting them really shows the range of personalities and cuisines that you’ll find in New Hampshire.”

From pizza and pub fare to seafood and steakhouse cuisine, you can experience the full scope of New Hampshire’s dining options during New Hampshire Restaurant Week, happening Friday, March 24, through Friday, March 31. The eight-day culinary celebration will feature over 100 restaurants and lodging locations offering menu specials and dine-and-stay packages.

“Restaurant Week was started as a way to create energy and excitement about dining in New Hampshire and to draw attention to the culinary arts throughout the state,” Restaurant Week coordinator Lindsay Elitharp said. “Portsmouth seems to get the bulk of the attention when it comes to the culinary arts, and it has some incredible restaurants, but it’s not the only part of New Hampshire with an incredible restaurant scene.”

Participating restaurants will offer food specials for either lunch and dinner or dinner only and are grouped into price categories: a “1 Fork” restaurant has a $10 to $15 lunch and a $15 to $25 dinner; a “2 Fork” restaurant has a $15 to $20 lunch and $25 to $35 dinner; and a “3 Fork” restaurant has lunch for $20 to $25 and dinner for $35 and up.

The specials may include three-course prix fixe menus, a la carte menu items or both. Prix fixe meals typically consist of an appetizer,

2 Fork ($15 to $35) Barley House (Concord, North Hampton), Bistro at LaBelle Winery (Amherst), Chang Thai Cafe (Littleton), Fratello’s (Nashua, Manchester, Laconia), Granite Restaurant (Concord), Lakehouse (Meredith), O Steaks & Seafood (Concord), Stagecoach Grille and Merrill’s Tavern (Atkinson), Wolfe’s Tavern (Wolfeboro) Dinner only: Camp (Meredith), Christ-

MANCHESTER’S HOT SPOT FOR ARTISTIC DRINKS & INSPIRED FOOD! 113378

Willow Mauck, owner of Willows Plant-Based Eatery (55 S. Main St., Concord, 715-1095, find them on Facebook), said she has been cooking for as long as she can remember. As a kid she spent a lot of time in the kitchen with her mother, who has owned Susty’s Café, a vegan restaurant in Northwood, for over 18 years. Two years ago, after working on and off at Susty’s, Mauck decided to follow in her mother’s footsteps and open an organic, vegan restaurant of her own. Willows Plant-Based Eatery is open Wednesday through Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Sunday, 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

FOOD

FROM THE

pantry

Ideas from off the shelf

Ratatouille Every week I make a large pot of homemade pasta sauce, and inevitably end up throwing a lot of it away even after freezing some and dividing it up for multiple meals throughout the week — but since I found this recipe for ratatouille, using leftover pasta sauce, my wasteful days are gone.

Aside from the cartoon about a gifted culinary rat, I don’t have much exposure to ratatouille, neither making it nor eating it, possibly ever. An internet search for meal ideas with leftover pasta sauce is what led me to explore this recipe, and I’m glad I did. The dish is bursting with fresh flavors, and the pasta sauce helps keep it pantry-friendly.

Once I settled on the idea of making ratatouille, I began searching for different recipes for the dish. I tend to not trust a single recipe, and instead will combine aspects of multiple ones to craft a meal I feel more confident serving and ultimately eating. It was a recipe from Epicurious that sealed the deal for my new culinary adventure. And with just a few adjustments — namely using pasta sauce instead of tomatoes, as suggested in other recipes — the finished product was delicious.

Ratatouille proved easier to make than to correctly pronounce, neither of which is made any less difficult by my 3-yearold sous chef. But she does like holding my hand while I chop veggies and stirring things on the stove (supervised, of course), so this turned out to be a meal we could make together.

Ratatouille Recipe adapted from Epicurious 1 onion, sliced thin 2 garlic cloves, minced 5 tablespoons olive oil a 3/4-pound eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups) 1 small zucchini, scrubbed, quartered lengthwise, and cut into thin slices 1 red bell pepper, chopped 3/4 pound small ripe tomatoes, chopped coarse (about 1 1/4 cups; alternatively use about 2 cups of pasta sauce) 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup shredded fresh basil leaves

I followed this recipe pretty precisely except for the sauce-tomato swap. The oregano, fennel, coriander and thyme added rich, savory notes to the hearty mix of eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers and onions. The sweetness of the onions added depth while the crunch from the bell peppers helped add texture to what could have quickly turned into a vegetable soup.

Minced garlic, salt and pepper rounded out this dish, and truly the hardest part was being patient enough to let the veggies cook until tender.

My carnivorous husband asked me several times to confirm there wasn’t any meat in the dish, because he was so pleasantly surprised by the flavor and how hearty the meal was. The chunks of eggplant were my favorite bites, and proved to be his as well.

Ratatouille will certainly be making an appearance or two in my monthly meal plans after this week. The warmth from the herbs and notes of earthiness and sweetness from the veggies were delicious, and when topped with my favorite pasta sauce made a perfect pantry-friendly meal.

Over moderately low heat, in a large skillet cook the onion and the garlic in 2 tablespoons of oil, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and heat until it is hot. Add the eggplant and cook, stirring occasionally, for approximately 8 minutes, or until the eggplant is softened. Add in the zucchini and the bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for roughly 12 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes (or pasta sauce) and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the oregano, thyme, coriander, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper to taste, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute.

Stir in the basil and combine the mixture well. Serve hot.

By Stefanie Phillips food@hippopress.com

This week’s column came out of a conversation with friends. On a recent Friday night, we were drinking wine, talking about wine and discussing the characteristics of different grapes. While there will always be exceptions, many grapes have common identifiers like color, nose, flavors or finish.

After I little research, I discovered a very interesting Wine Folly article written by sommelier Madeline Puckette called “The Noble Grapes Challenge.” The article contains a list of 18 noble grapes, which are those that are international varietals or planted in the majority of wine regions around the globe. She says, “Once you master this list, you will intuitively understand the major flavor profiles of most red and white wines in the world.” She also notes that the list does not contain sections on dessert, sparkling or rosé wines.

The list is split into nine reds and nine whites; I only had room for reds this week, so look for the whites next week. Puckette organizes the list from lightest to darkest; here’s how she breaks it down: Pinot noir: This grape can be difficult to grow, as the clusters tend not to ripen evenly and it is very prone to disease. The fruit is usually cranberry, cherry or raspberry. Other flavors include vanilla, licorice, clove or caramel. It is usually aged in French oak barrels and has medium-high acidity with medium-low tannins.

Grenache: The fruit is usually strawberry, black cherry and raspberry but other flavors may be tobacco, cinnamon or anise.

With medium tannins and acidity, grenache is medium oak aged. Puckette notes “the unmistakable candied fruit roll-up and cinnamon flavor is what gives [it] away to expert blind tasters.”

Merlot: Oh, merlot. It is too bad this wine has received such a bad rap. It can have varying characteristics depending on where it is grown (cooler climate versus warm or hot). Typically fruit is black cherry, raspberry and plum, but it may also contain notes of cedar, tobacco, vanilla and mocha. It has medium acidity and tannin.

I like the warm-climate merlot, which is more fruit-forward and has less tannin.

Sangiovese: This grape is a bit of a chameleon and can change depending on the environment in which it is grown. This Italian grape has many different mutations, all which taste different. Fruit is generally tart cherry, red plum, strawberry and fig. Other notes include tobacco, smoke, leather, clay

or brick. It is usually lightly oak aged in neutral barrels and has high acidity and tannins. It is commonly referred to as chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, among others.

Some versions are fruit-forward, while others are rustic and traditional.

Nebbiolo: This wine has high acidity and tannins, but can be deceiving because it is very light in color. It is complex in its aromas and flavors, usually including cherries, tar, tobacco or leather. It is higher in alcohol than many of its counterparts. I happen to really like this wine, especially when it is in the form of a Barolo or Barbaresco (known as two of Italy’s greats).

Tempranillo: Think cherry, plum and tomato but also leather, clove, tobacco and vanilla. It is usually aged in American or French oak for 12 to 18 months, resulting in medium acidity and tannin. It tastes fullbodied from the oak aging, but has thinner skins, so it will appear more translucent in the glass. Oak aging in Spain may give the wine an orange hue.

Cabernet sauvignon: Cabernet is a wine that often gets all the credit, especially in California, where it is king. It typically has flavors of black cherry, black currant or blackberry, but may also have black pepper, tobacco or licorice. It is usually aged in French oak for 9 to 18 months, but some American or even Hungarian oak is used. It typically has medium tannins and acidity. It is commonly blended with other grapes around the globe.

Syrah: This has a wide range of flavors including blackberry, blueberry, chocolate, vanilla, tobacco, herbs and smoke. This wine is aged in all kinds of oak, with medium acidity and tannins. It is also known as shiraz.

Malbec: Malbec can be similar to grenache, but typically has blueberry and blackberry flavors instead of strawberry and cherry. It is commonly blended with other grapes. On its own, the color is a very intense inky red or violet.

Sometimes evolution requires an unpleasant push or two. People kept asking 35-year-old New York-based composer Mark Henry Phillips if he made music anymore, even after he’d successfully moved into the field of sound design (he’s done a bunch of corporate commercials, a few TV-movie things, and the Serial and Homecoming podcasts), but it was the death of his dad in 2015 that forced him to finish this thing once and for all, a debut solo album of actual “song-songs.” The final result is an upbeat-chill soul-pop amalgam of Jamie Liddell, Beatles and Amos Lee that forks off into technical brilliance, Figurine-ish medium-tech and faraway Bon Iver choruses (“A Way to Stay Away,” the best on board here). Sounds like a lot to process, but it’s altogether a friendly, very pretty set of stuff; it’s good that he was finally able to get this off his chest. A — Eric W.

I shouldn’t minimize the effort of this coed New York band’s debut by saying “Devo lives” in an Urkel voice, even if that very description might actually float someone’s boat. Fact is, the foundation is krautrock, and no, they don’t sing in funny nerd voices, and neither do they bury the listener in quirk for its own sake. The core consists of guitarist-singer Dara Hirsch and audiotinkerer-singer Jared Hiller, and they do, as advertised, have an odd dynamic, with Hirsch’s jazz-chord-obsessed guitar often playing straight-man to Hiller’s wobbly, sometimes soaring-wingnut experimentation. All the way around, the sum feels like a record that came out in 1986, from the Scary Monsters-ish Bowie-isms of “Mr. Director” to the next-gen Joy Division of “Trauma.” Beyond that, though, is a fresh depth to the whole neo-80s approach, sounds and patterns that vibe-check underground record stores from both the past and present. Oh, and the tunes are very good. A — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases

• Boston-born Craig Finn has led his main band The Hold Steady to six albums since 2004, usually made of bar-rock things evocative of Elvis Costello, Pixies and Kaiser Chiefs. No, it’s not as predictable and boring as that sounds; the band is OK. His new solo album We All Want the Same Things is out March 24, which brings us up to date. Now let’s go see if the YouTube preview of leadoff single “Preludes” is boring. Hmph, no it isn’t, it’s pretty neat, a nice angular art-pop riff at the beginning, a from-themountaintop effect on Finn’s voice, really cool, like Tom Waits for people who don’t have whatever physiological issues cause people to like Tom Waits. I approve.

• Wu-Tang Clan members Raekwon and Ghostface Killah never really dug Notorious BIG because he ripped off a lot of ideas. But as of Friday the 24th, you can see if Wu-Tang thirdbanana Raekwon has run out of ideas himself, when The Wild, his seventh LP, hits your pirate radios. Yes, it could be that his last album, Fly International Luxurious Art, showed that he’s already run out of enthusiasm for doing anything in life other than buying stuff, but the new single “This is What it Comes Too” does have a hard 1995-throwback feel. Going by that, it seems the guy refuses to descend into suckage, but there’s still plenty of unheard stuff from this album.

• Flute-player/singer Ian Anderson is the only remaining original member of Jethro Tull, which hasn’t released a proper full-length since its 2003 Christmas Album. And I’m not sure if “proper” would be the proper adjective to descrine their new LP, The String Quartets, as it’s comprised of weird string-quartet-andflute reworkings of stuff like “Bungle in the Jungle” and “Living in the Past,” you get the idea, basically Mozart for Dummies. But whatever, Anderson still has some modicum of relevance, having contributed to a Jeff the Brotherhood song in 2015, and either way, some people love this guy so much, it’s hilarious, like this one drummer I used to play with who’d get up to stand on one leg and play flute for a cover of “Locomotive Breath.” No, it didn’t get him any girls.

• Also this week, Scottish noise-pop legends Jesus and Mary Chain are releasing their first album in 18 years, Damage and Joy. It used to be a thing for “punters” to riot and wreck stuff at this band’s shows, a practice that was abandoned when rock ’n’ roll became limp and hopeless, but trust me, many people miss those days. The latest single, “Amputation,” isn’t very shoegaze, more like their latter-day material, like some neo-goth band trying to rip off their ’80s hit “Never Understand.” Anyone hear Zodiac Windwarp’s last album? It’s like that. At least there isn’t Auto-Tune or cowbell, let’s leave it at that. — Eric W. Saeger

spring show is typical for an SNHSC production. Last year, the rink became a bookstore and the skaters transformed into characters like Harry Potter and Miss Trunchbull. Another year, audiences were transported to Universal Studios.

Finding new angles is difficult when you’ve been designing skating productions for decades, but it’s very important to Nordle.

“My goal is to try to produce something that audiences are going to enjoy and remember, and not to do the same thing over and over again,” Nordle said.

Kathleen Feeney, who skates in her 15th show this year (as Marilyn Monroe, with a blond wig and white dress), said it’s all worth the effort when she sees the club’s youngest skaters light up as they step out onto the ice under the spotlight.

For Mary Jo Libby, 18, the joy is in the skating and the performances — she’ll bring to life Maui from Moana, Genie from Aladdin and the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz — but also in the company she keeps on the ice.

“It feels like I’m skating with my family,” she said.

If you’re like the majority of Americans and weren’t invited to the 89th Academy Awards, you can get your Oscar fix at Southern New Hampshire Skating Club’s 52nd spring production, “The Envelope Please,” this weekend.

It hits the JFK Coliseum Saturday, March 25, at 1 and 7 p.m., and if all goes as planned, audiences will feel they’re watching the Oscars live, starting with the red carpet, when skaters arrive party-ready via an on-ice limo, and ending with the “results,” when a giant envelope and ensemble of gold statues take the ice.

SNHSC coach Teri Nordle takes a number of factors into consideration when designing a show. What’s the music availability? What’s the audience appeal?

And how will the skaters, who range from pre-school age to 60, feel about it?

“One of the reasons I like this theme is it offers a lot of diversity,” she said, noting that the youngest can perform to music from their favorite animated features, while the elder skaters can take on the classics.

The production is segmented into several categories, including a salute to film classics (with homages to film greats, like Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe, and movies like Chicago and The Wizard of Oz); “Best Animated Feature” (featuring flicks like Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Shrek and Moana); “Lifetime Achievement” (looking particularly at Julie Andrews and John Williams through music from The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park); and “Best Original Song” (featuring tunes like “Skyfall” from Skyfall and “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic).

Planning is a months-long affair that starts during January rehearsals and continues with weekly practices and prop- and set-building sessions at the old St. Joseph auditorium. The show’s backdrop will look like the Dolby Theatre, where the awards are held every year, centering around a large red curtain and jumbotron.

Nordle’s husband, Ken Lajoie, leads the production team, having studied art and grown up in a theater family, and her son Ryan Nordle helps with film editing.

Club members need to put in a number of volunteer hours every winter, and parents typically help too, from painting and hammering to sewing and glueing.

That ad, and another, was published just days after the young slave vanished while General Washington and his wife were eating dinner. It was clear from the wording that the president wanted his property back; absent was any sign that the president suffered any inner conflict over the institution of slavery.

The ad said any person, white or black, would receive the reward for bringing Judge back and warned “as she may attempt to escape by water, all matters of vessels are cautioned Daniel James Lydia against admitting her into them.”

and her mother had recently died, an event that General Washington had noted rather coldly in his letters: “It is happy for old Betty, and her children and friends, that she is taken of[f] the stage; her life must have been miserable to herself, and troublesome to all those around her.”

Moreover, Judge was compelled to act by two unrelated matters, the first being the first family’s impending move back to Virginia from the temporary capital, Philadelphia, and second, Martha Washington’s intention to gift Judge to her granddaughter upon the granddaughter’s upcoming wedding.

It was both an insult and a betrayal that Martha Washington would so casually dispense with the young woman who had been born at Mount Vernon and had served her for more than a decade. And having accompanied the Washingtons to both Philadelphia and New York, Judge had encountered what Dunbar called “the contagion of freedom” among free blacks living there.

Slavery was still legal in Pennsylvania then with a caveat: after six months of residence, the owner was legally required to free the slave. This was a law the Washingtons thwarted by sending their slaves back to Mount Vernon before six months transpired.

And while Pennsylvania was not yet as safe for blacks as Massachusetts or New Hampshire, it had a strong network of free blacks, led by the Rev. Richard Allen, who made escaping more possible there than in Virginia. So Judge took the chance.

Her story has been hiding in plain view for years. Much credit is due Dunbar, a professor of black studies and history at the University of Delaware, for bringing it to light. Dunbar’s language is at times lyrical, other times stilted and repetitive, but her skill at storytelling is first-rate, and she has crafted what amounts to a 19th-century thriller. We know from the spoiler of a title how this story ends, but it’s a page-turner nonetheless.

Using George Washington’s letters, period newspapers and documents, diaries and biographies, Dunbar painstakingly documents a previously overlooked yet important chapter of history. Occasionally she oversteps in projecting what Judge might have been feeling, but her decision to write the book as reported narrative, not historical fiction, made her job all the harder and overall works well.

The lives of Judge and the Washingtons are interwoven beautifully, from the opening vignette about snow that fell in Virginia in June 1773, to the death of the former slave, who upon freeing herself settled in New Hampshire and learned to read.

Until now, Judge has been but a footnote in Washington’s life, but her story deserved sunlight, and both subject and author deserve acclaim. A — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Beauty and the Beast (PG)

Emma Watson’s Belle and Dan Stevens’ Beast have their “tale as old as time” romance in Beauty and the Beast, another in the continuing live-action-ication of the Disney cartoons.

Belle is a bookworm with a desire to see the world but the small town she lives in with her father, Maurice (Kevin Kline), doesn’t appreciate her nerdiness. Nor does local jock-bro Gaston (Luke Evans) seem to understand that her lack of interest in becoming his wife is not going to change.

But Maurice understands his daughter’s urges for a life with a wider scope. When he is imprisoned for stealing a rose from a terrible Beast in a hidden castle, Maurice urges Belle to leave him and live her life.

Instead, she promises her father she will escape and switches places with him.

She quickly learns that this castle, long hidden from and forgotten by the world, isn’t just the ruin it appears. It is enchanted and populated by a host of servants turned animate inanimate objects.

A talking teacup, Chip (voice of Nathan Mack), is the young son of the talking teapot, Mrs. Potts (voice of Emma Thompson). A mechanical clock, Cogsworth (voice of Ian McKellan), runs the house, that is when Lumière (voice of Ewan McGregor), the candlestick, isn’t putting in place his own schemes, such as the one to get Belle out of the dungeon and into a fancy guest bedroom. There, he and his lady love, the feather duster Plumette (voice of Gugu Mbatha-Raw); an opera singer turned wardrobe, Lady Garderobe (Audra McDonald), and a host of other household goods give Belle the royal treatment. The horned and hairy Beast, after all, was once a human prince who was turned into a notalways-convincing I’m guessing partially CGI beast because he was, essentially, a jerk and an enchantress (Hattie Morahan) cursed him and his castle to teach him

Beauty and the Beast

about the evils of superficiality.

Now the Beast and his staff of home goods hope that Belle will be the one to break the spell (the Beast must learn to love and be loved in return) and everybody can go back to their human lives.

Naturally, Belle and the Beast start out at odds, with the Beast unwilling to be kind to the woman his staff-objects believe is his last chance to break the curse and Belle attempting to escape. But after a moment of mutual aid, Belle and the Beast start to form a friendship and, with the urging of Lumière and company, possibly something more.

Will reciprocal love bloom before the last petal falls off the enchanted rose that serves as the Beast’s True Love countdown clock?

“Be Our Guest” and “Something There” were, I thought, the best of the movie’s musical moments, both songs that heavily feature the household staff. Generally speaking, the lives and loves of the candlestick, feather duster, teapot, etc., were far more interesting to me than the central love story. They have friendships, romances, obligations and a common goal of beating a curse. Whenever Lumière opines about

The last (probably) hurrah for Jackman’s Wolverine finds him a broken man helping to care for an even more broken Charles Xavier in a world where mutants are dying out.

Excellent performances all around make this gritty (but still not grim) movie one of the better entries in the X-Men universe. B

his desire to be with Plumette or Mrs. Potts worries about her very breakable child who isn’t getting the chance to grow up, the movie feels full of genuine emotion. The special effects here didn’t wow me — this isn’t The Jungle Book — but the object-people have a liveliness to them and a warmth that makes them enjoyable to watch.

The liveliness of these CGI characters is greater than the humans (and the humandigital-something hybrid that is the Beast).

Which isn’t to say that Watson and Stevens aren’t fine, they are. Fine. Acceptable.

But their characters are oddly underdrawn.

We learn almost nothing about the Beast’s hopes and dreams other than his hope to not always be a beast. After early scenes that show us Belle inventing a washing machine and teaching a child to read, we don’t really get to see her doing things — say, inventing ways for the clock to butler better or researching loopholes for curse-breaking.

She and the Beast fall in love because the story needs them to fall in love, but we don’t really see what inspires that other than the staff desperately pushing them together.

I get why this faithful remake of a beloved musical couldn’t dump a character with his own song, but he is unnecessary and adds an unneeded layer of darkness to the movie. Gaston is not the fun, glam or snarky villain that Disney often employs to balance the earnestness of its leads. Whatever he was like as a cartoon, in flesh and blood Gaston just comes off as menacing. I feel like Josh Gad’s LeFou, Gaston’s sidekick, is the movie’s acknowledgment of this; he gets the funny lines and the knowing looks and is the only thing keeping the Gaston scenes from Lifetime stalker movie territory. If you need a whole character to dampen the creep-factor of another guy, maybe just don’t have that guy. A better “villain” would have been prejudice itself.

The Beast is being punished for basing people’s worth on their physical appearance and now he’s treated like a Beast because of his appearance. Setting up prejudice as a villain would also have the benefit of tying in with Belle’s desire to break free from a socially rigid environment.

In short, humans, live-action humans, are what I didn’t so much like about this live-action Beauty and the Beast. The live action looks good enough, but I feel like it stripped some of the fairy-tale-ness out of this story. Everything with the objects feels earned in a way the human emotions do not and the charm of their characters might be enough to save the film for you, particularly if nostalgia makes you predisposed to love it. If not, the lack of a really winning love story at the movie’s center might be too much for even the world’s most charming candlestick to overcome. BRated PG for some action violence, peril and frightening images. Directed by Bill Condon with a screenplay by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos, Beauty and the Beast is two hours and nine minutes long and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios.

menace come from one kind of racism until you realize that something stranger and different but just as dehumanizing is going on. Smart on so many levels, Get Out is also funny (thanks in part to supporting actor Lil Rel Howery) and legitimately scary. A

many more.

The best Batman/DC universe movie in a long time, this animated take on the Dark Knight is so much fun ― full of nice jokes about the character’s many movie and TV iterations as well as solid storytelling about both orphaned Bruce Wayne and the vigilante crime fight*The LEGO Batman Mover. The Lego animation is, as in The LEGO Movie, a big ie (PG-13) part of the fun, with the visuVoices of Will Arnett, al humor of Legos and their Michael Cera.

Also Rosario Dawson, Ralph Lego accessories melding Fiennes, Zach Galifianakis, perfectly with the movie’s Billy Dee Williams and so tone. B+

Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki has become New Hampshire’s go-to fiddle player, from his early days with rootsy Jamantics to session work with a diverse array of acts like pop rockers Pat & the Hats, ethereal chanteuse Anna Madsen and protest collective Extremists for Peace.

His musical comfort zone, though, has long been Celtic music. He made his first album of traditional music at age 14, and his most recent collection of Irish songs is 2015’s Return to the Castle. The fiddler hosts a weekly Irish Night at Stone Church with Jim Prendergast and is a frequent guest member of Seacoast Celtic stalwarts Great Bay Sailor. Over the recent St. Patrick’s Day, Tirrell-Wysocki traveled the length of the state playing sets.

Though he wasn’t born into it, the music of Ireland has long called to him.

“There is a power and an emotion to it, both on the sad and joyful pieces,” TirrellWysocki said in a recent phone interview.

“From a really early age, that’s the music that was calling to me.”

In February, Tirrell-Wysocki joined the New Hampshire Humanities Council to present Songs of Emigration, an hour long program that explores the role of music in the Irish immigrant experience. The recurring presentation stops March 26 at Manchester’s Millyard Museum. On both fiddle and guitar, he plays songs and puts them in hisSongs of Emigration: Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki Where: Millyard Museum, 200 Bedford St., Manchester When: Saturday, March 25, 1 p.m.

torical context, describing the emotions behind them — why the new settlers left, and what greeted them upon arrival.

Tirrell-Wysocki feels the time is right for such an endeavor.

“The dialog we’re having now in our country is about immigration,” he said. “A look back at history can tell us about the experience of different ethnic groups coming here.

In this case, we’re exploring the Irish story and all the struggles they faced. What better way to do that than through music, which is the way the Irish have told their stories and preserved their culture for generations?”

It’s not just American emigration; one song, for example, deals with a native of County Clare now working in a London factory and missing his home. Another describes a man drafted to fight in the Civil War (on the Union side) immediately upon arriving in the United States.

Though it does span a century of migration from Ireland, the program whets the appetite for more.

“I selected a handful of my favorite immigration songs — a very small slice,” Tirrell-Wysocki said. “I can’t possibly hope to give a comprehensive history or examples of all the songs out there, because it makes up such a huge part of the irish music repertoire.”

The idea is to spark a dialogue that lasts beyond the presentation, “It’s not a concert,” he said. “This is a chance to think and talk a little bit more about the music and maybe learn a little bit more about where these songs are coming from and what they might have meant to the people that were singing them originally.”

Songs of Emigration is part of the New Hampshire Humanities catalog, and TirrellWysocki hopes to travel all over the state in the coming months with it. So far, he’s done it twice, in New Boston and Atkinson; one day after his Manchester talk, he’ll take the presentation to Bath.

“I have one in May and several more coming up in the fall,” he said. “I’m excited to see where it goes from here. … It’s a huge honor to be in the company of the great speakers and performers who are also on the roster.”

Work with his trio continues, with more outdoor concerts scheduled as the weather warms up. In the summer, a residency at an Irish pub in Bar Harbor, Maine, will enter its fifth year.

“Somehow all the little pieces come together in just the right way,” he said.

“I’ve been very lucky, and it’s keeping the schedule pretty full.”

On the family front, Tirrell-Wysocki suspects he might be passing down the musical gene as he watches his 18-month-old daughter.

“My plan is not to push it or force it but I will definitely encourage her if she shows an inclination, and she seems to,” he said.

“She comes to a lot of my concerts and loves to dance and sing and make up songs.

So I’m excited to see where that goes.”

SIGNS OF LIFE strongly then, and I feel it equally strongly now: when a person picks up a shirt, he or she has to see something special in it, otherwise the shirt is a shirt is a shirt. Think outside the shirt.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) They didn’t realize we were making clothes for guys with hair down to their shoulders, who wore hiphugger velvet bell-bottoms and blouses and high-heeled platform snakeskin boots and hung out at Max’s Kansas City. Know your audience.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) I had thought of pirates, and here they were! That’s what happens in the design world — something is in the air. That’s why, during Fashion Week, you’ll see Prada doing the same kind of thing as Gucci. Pirates are in the air.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) Many restaurants and clubs would turn people away for wearing such casual clothing, and you certainly couldn’t wear jeans to work. But I felt jeans were indicative of an entire cultural revolution that was beginning and that they would be a part of our lives forever. I wanted to be an expert. Be an expert.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) I would hang every piece against the wall and stare at it for hours, thinking, “What more can I do to this? What less can I do to it? How do I make it more appealing? How do I adjust it, how do I change it?” … It was almost like going into a recording studio and making an album.

You create your harmonies, you make your beats, you come up with your hook, you put it together, you play it over and over and over — you find a balance. It’s a process.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) The culture shock was profound. After weeks on Kings Road, my store seemed so provincial now, so behind the times. I wanted real excitement. You can bring a sense of newness to an old environment.

All quotes are from American Dreamer, by Tommy Hilfiger, born March 24, 1951.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) The Brits were really different — certainly different from my Elmira neighbors, but also a lot more advanced than what I’d seen in New York City.

They were more stylish. … In America, you would see a lot of guys wearing bell-bottoms, sandals, and a T-shirt, and think, “Okay, well he’s part of the hippie movement, but he has no style.” To me, the style was what mattered.

Maybe not the only thing that matters, but it might make a difference.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) I pinned some shirts to the walls and hung others from the ceiling so people would walk in and be enveloped in a world of fashion We were selling a lifestyle that didn’t exist in Elmira. We were creating a lifestyle. Take advantage of a burst of creativity.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Within a twoweek period I had created seventy-five styles.

All you need is one.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) The most confrontational I’ve ever been has been with product people who say they can’t do something that I know they can. You may have misconceptions of what other people can or can’t do.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) I learned a life-changing lesson that day: in the search for a person to work with closely, like-mindedness is the key. But like-mindedness about what?

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) I created a contrast lining in the neck of a button-down.

It had never been done before. It wasn’t your basic white shirt anymore — except it was!

Buttoned at the collar, it was virtually indistinguishable from its more expensive brothers; only the person who wore it knew how cool he was. Unbuttoned, the coolness was there for all to see. Your coolness is showing.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) I felt this

Entrepreneurial spirit

Perhaps there are parents who (according to the Cinepolis movie chain) long to watch movies in theaters while their children (aged 3 and up) frolic in front in a “jungle-gym” playground inside the same auditorium. If so, the company’s two “junior” movie houses (opening this very week in San Diego and Los Angeles) may bring a new dimension to “family entertainment.” Another view, though, is that the noise (often “screaming”), plus the overhead lighting required for parents to monitor their tykes’ equipment-usage, plus the planned $3-per-ticket surcharge, will soon create (according to the Guardian critic) a moviegoing “apocalypse.”

Can’t possibly be true

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

(1) The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in January granted IBM’s 2010 application for a patent on “out-of-office” email message software (even though such messages have, of course, been ubiquitous for two decades) after the company finally convinced examiners that its patent had enough software tweaks on it to qualify.

(Critics, such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation, laughed at the uselessness of the tweaks.)

News of the pretentious

• Why live with a cat if one cannot take it out for some wine together? The Apollo Peak in Denver and the Pet Winery in Fort Myers, Florida, serve a variety of the real grape to humans and nonalcoholic proprietary drinks for the kitties to enjoy tableside (or underneath). “Pinot Meow” ($12) in Denver and “Meow and Chandon” ($15) in Fort Myers, are specialties basically watered catnip, according to a February New York Times report (so the felines can also get buzzed). The wine outing is the human’s preference, of course, with a loftier cachet than the “happy hour” most cats might prefer (say, a “sardine bar”).

• “I tried the $5,000 hamburger, and it was absolutely worth it,” wrote the apparently straight-faced CNBC reviewer Robert Frank in February, describing his meal at the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay restaurant Fleur. (The burger included Waygu beef, foie gras and truffles, and was served with a similarly inexplicably priced wine.) Other recent consumer challenges: an $18 cup of coffee at Brooklyn’s Extraction Lab; a $100 bottle of Norwegian iceberg water (Svalbardi.com); a $2,000 pizza at New York City’s Industry Kitchen (caviar, truffles, gold flakes); and a $25,000 taco at the Grand Velas Los Cabos resort in Mexico (caviar, brie, Kobe beef, langoustine lobster, rare tequila and once again with the gold flakes).

Wait, what?

Anglers fighting to preserve choice spots on the fishing pier on Sebastian Inlet, north of Vero Beach, Florida, have taken to tossing lead weights and other items at “competitors,” especially those who approach the pier to fish directly from their boats. Such territory marking by the “piersters” includes, according to a February report in Florida Today, perhaps a version of classic mammal behavior, like strategic urination.

Government in action

• Illinois has problems: a $130 billion unfunded pension crisis, 19 months without a budget, the lowest credit rating and highest property taxes in the country, and the murder rate in Chicago. However, at least the state house of representatives is not standing by idly. In February, it moved to designate October 2017 as Zombie Preparedness Month (basically, adding “zombie invasion” to the list of mobilizations for any natural disaster and urging residents to stockpile food and supplies for up to 72 hours).

• Lawyers for former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. have convinced federal officials that his bipolar disorder was “caused” by the stress of being a congressman and thus that he is entitled to “total disability” worker compensation for an “on-the-job” injury and thus to about $100,000 a year, tax-free, according to a February Chicago Tribune report. (Jackson, 51, also receives Social Security disability payments.) Lawyers said his disorder (often attributed to genetic factors) surfaced during an investigation into Jackson’s looting of his campaign treasury for luxury goods and vacations (charges eventually settled with a guilty

plea). Jackson dated his onset to June 2012, meaning that his last 72 House votes came while “totally” disabled.

Bright ideas

Not Clever Enough: Daniel Crowninshield, 54, pleaded guilty in federal court in Sacramento in 2016 to illegally manufacturing assault weapons that had no serial numbers despite efforts to circumvent the law by claiming that his customers actually “made” their own weapons using his equipment. Crowninshield (known as “DrDeath” online), an expert machinist, would take a “blank” metal casting and, using special equipment and computer programs, create the firing mechanism for a numberless AR-15 provided the customer presses a button to start the process. “Pressing the button,” Crowninshield figured, made the customer the creator, not a buyer or transferee of the gun, and thus exempt from federal law. In February, Judge Troy Nunley, unimpressed, sentenced Crowninshield to three years and five months in prison.

Wrong place, wrong time

“Life’s full of peaks and valleys, man,” Californian Georgiy Karpekin told a reporter, but Jan. 18 seemed all valley. Karpekin has both a pickup truck and a car, and as he was leaving Sacramento City College that day during violent storms, a falling tree crushed the truck. When he got home, he learned that the same storm had taken down another tree on top of his car. (Karpekin, insured and uninjured, called himself “the luckiest guy.”)
