When guitar legend Chuck Berry died on March 18 at the age of 90, rock ’n’ roll lost a pioneer. Arguably, Chuck Berry inspired more teenagers to pick up the guitar than anybody ever. I was one of them.

In late December in the early 1970s, I swore to my then wife that I heard that Chuck Berry would be playing in Manchester at the Sheraton Wayfarer on New Year’s Eve. She doubted that I heard correctly.

New Year’s Eve arrived along with a blizzard. Since we had no plans, and since my Pontiac Lemans had a posi-traction rear end (as in My Cousin Vinnie), I was confident that my car could handle the snow. So we headed out in the blizzard to the Wayfarer to see if it was true, that Chuck Berry would be playing in Manchester.

The roads were pretty empty. There was already 6 inches of snow on the ground and it was coming down hard. We pulled into the largely empty Wayfarer parking lot, joining maybe three cars. I was convinced that either I heard wrong or that if Chuck was supposed to play, the concert got canceled because of the snow.

But I wanted to know for sure and asked my wife to wait in the car while I went inside to check. The instant that I open the Wayfarer door, I could hear the unmistakable sound of the great Chuck Berry. I was so excited! I quickly moved toward the sound and passed a vacant ticket table with an open, empty cashbox. I entered the ballroom and there in front of me was one of my idols, Chuck Berry, with a three-piece band, a cop, and seven or eight people in the audience.

I was mesmerized. Then, I remembered that my wife was still outside in the car. I ran out and motioned for her to come quickly. We got treated to a free, private concert

by Chuck Berry. We sat in the middle in about the third row with no one in front of us. It was a night that I will never forget.

Ever since rock ’n’ roll’s beginnings, from the mid-1950s through today, how many artists can you name that actually invented a guitar style? Not many: Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Eddie Van Halen. As someone who spent 39 years selling guitars, I want to say thank you, Chuck. While you may be gone, your music will never die!

NEWS & NOTES Dry spell

The state Department of Environmental Services said below-average rainfall and high temperatures could put New Hampshire right back on track for the same drought conditions that saw wells dry up from record low water levels. DES said in a press release that well water supplies remain low even though the drought conditions improved over the winter. Well monitoring stations continue to show below-normal levels. High stream flows and flood warnings may still occur during the spring, but much of that water isn’t sinking deep enough into the ground and if temperatures remain high, much of it will evaporate.

Meanwhile, forestry officials are worried that this spring could see a heightened risk of wildfires due to a combination of unusually dry weather and dry grass, leaves and shrubs left over from last winter that can act as kindling. In a press release from the Division of Forests and Lands, officials said careless disposal of campfire ashes and smoking materials are the most common causes of wildfires.

While last year’s drought may have killed a good number of ticks, tick season has begun. The Eagle Tribune reported veterinarians are seeing pets with ticks, and state entomologist Alan Eaton said lower tick numbers don’t mean people should stop checking themselves, their children and pets for ticks.

DCYF cases

A Superior Court judge has ruled in favor of letting the legal proceedings of a child abuse case be aired publicly, which sets a precedent for other cases like these. While the identities of the children will remain confidential, attorney Rus Rilee wants certain details of his case to be public so problems with the state’s child protective services can be exposed. NHPR reported Superior Court Judge Gillian Abramson dismissed the state’s argument to keep the proceedings confidential, saying the arguments were based on a desire to limit exposure of the state’s alleged mishandling of the case. Rilee represents the grandparents of two young girls who were sexually abused by their biological parents during a time when they were under DCYF supervision. The grandparents are suing

HIPPO | APRIL 20 - 26, 2017 | PAGE 4

DCYF. Rilee told NHPR he hopes the ruling paves the way for similar confidentiality waivers for other high-profile cases against DCYF.

Moose hunt

Pending approval from a legislative committee, New Hampshire Fish and Game officials have signed off on a plan to award 51 moose hunting permits this year, the AP reported. That would be the lowest number of permits issued since the moose hunt began under this system in 1988. There were 71 permits issued last year. The number has declined steadily in recent years due to a struggling moose population with health issues related to winter ticks and other parasites. This year’s plan also bans the moose hunt in the southwest region. The hunting season goes from Oct. 21 to Oct. 29.

Applications must be submitted online or postmarked by May 26 and the lottery is on June 16.

Northern pass

The final round of hearings for the controversial Northern Pass project, which would deliver hydroelectric power from Canada through new power lines across New Hampshire, began on April 13, NHPR reported.

Eversource Energy staff, Northern Pass opponents and lawyers gathered in a rented room where they will be meeting for several weeks until the hearings conclude.

Eversource New Hampshire President Bill Quinlan spoke at the first hearing. After the hearings, the seven-member Site Evaluation Committee will be charged with determining whether Northern Pass has the technical and financial capacity to complete the project and not have an “unreasonable adverse” effect on the environment or other cultural resources.

Edelblut

An amendment introduced for an unrelated education bill would give Department of Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut more authority, and it’s stirred up some controversy. WMUR reported that Edelblut asked for the change and Republican Sen. John Reagan introduced it. Reagan said it was in response to some resistance Edelblut was facing within the department, but Edelblut disputes that, saying he only wants the law to

line up with administrative changes already put in place by the last commissioner. Edelblut said the changes would allow him to be more responsive, but Democrats are saying the move is a power grab.

Food stamps

During a hearing for a bill that would limit food stamp eligibility, the head of the program in New Hampshire testified that the bill doesn’t do what it claims to, which is reduce fraud. NHPR reported Republican Sen. Kevin Avard is the bill’s prime sponsor. He argued in favor of the bill, saying it reduces abuses in the system. But Terry Smith, the head of the food stamp and welfare programs at the state health department, said that’s a “misperception,” according to the story. The Republican-backed proposed food stamp limits are part of an amendment to an otherwise bipartisan bill that would pay employers to hire low-skill workers under certain circumstances.

Labor nominee

Gov. Chris Sununu nominated Franklin Mayor Ken Merrifield to be the new head of the Department of Labor. The Concord Monitor reported that Merrifield told Executive Councilors during a confirmation hearing that being the son of middle-class workers qualifies him for the job. Merrifield was once the vice chair of the state GOP and has backed Right-to-Work legislation, which unions oppose. Merrifield said he’d like to remain mayor until a budget is passed and a successor chosen, but councilors questioned that since it could be a conflict.

DES nominee

Gov. Sununu pulled his pick to head the Department of Environmental Services, Peter Kujawski, after Kujawski showed very limited knowledge of environmental issues during his confirmation hearing, the AP reported. Kujawski, while not known in environmental circles, is a former Army colonel and a manufacturing executive at three New Hampshire companies.

On April 13, Gov. Chris Sununu swore in Gordon MacDonald to be the state attorney general, according to a press release from the governor’s office. MacDonald previously worked in Manchester as a lawyer for Nixon Peabody. He succeeds Joe Foster, who was attorney general during Sen. Maggie Hassan’s tenure as governor.

At the swearing-in ceremony, Sununu said that “[MacDonald] brings a real integrity and transparency to the process,” NHPR reported. MacDonald worked on the defense team for Purdue Pharma, which the state subpoenaed for documents related to alleged marketing malpractice connected to overprescribing the powerful opioid OxyContin. He said during his confirmation hearing that he would recuse himself from that and any other cases he was involved in.

EMTS

If confirmed, he would have overseen 400 employees and a $200 million budget. No one testified against him at the hearing, but after Sununu spoke with the councilors about their thoughts, it became clear he didn’t have enough votes to confirm Kujawski. At least one Republican councilor, Russell Prescott, was a “no,” the AP reported. Republicans hold a majority on the five-member council.

Two Manchester firefighters will have to be monitored for a full year for possible exposure to hepatitis C after they were vomited on by a male patient they were trying to revive from an opioid overdose, the Union Leader reported. The overdose call reportedly came in at about 2:30 p.m. on April 12. After they administered three doses of naloxone to the patient, he projectile vomited and it got in the eyes and mouth of the two firefighters. They were taken to Catholic Medical Center. While the patient did test positive for hepatitis C, the risk of transmission by vomit is very low. EMS officer Chris Hickey said in the story that wearing a mask and eye protection is recommended but not required, but he plans to conduct training to remind first responders of the need to take every precaution.

Kaitlyn McCarthy, a 30-year-old nursing assistant, has started a petition on change. org called “Reduce the Backyard Chicken restrictions in Manchester NH.” The Queen City resident hopes she can collect enough signatures to demonstrate strong support for a change to the city zoning ordinance that would allow more properties to raise chicken hens for personal use.

Right now, residents who own their own property can have up to six backyard hens of any breed if they have at least half an acre of land and the chickens are kept 20 feet from the property line, according to Dave Albin, code enforcement supervisor for the city.

McCarthy wants to change the land size requirement to one tenth of an acre or 5,000 square feet to allow smaller properties to adopt chickens.

“Most lots in the city are 5,000 square feet,” McCarthy said.

She also wants to change the setback to five feet. “[The current rule] is a little silly. You’d have to have chickens in the middle of your yard,” McCarthy said.

While the petition doesn’t expressly say it, McCarthy would also like to do away with the land ownership requirement, which she thinks is “classist.”

About four years ago, McCarthy had her own chickens at her apartment property after getting permission from her landlord. Her neighbors enjoyed them, McCarthy said. But after the landlord was told by a code inspector that they had to go, McCarthy was forced to hand them over to someone else.

She worked closely with a local group of residents who organized to change the city rules in 2014. Prior to that, chickens were governed by the same rules as other livestock animals. Under that regime, one would need to have 1 acre for the first animal and 1/4 acre for each additional animal.

The new rules allowed a lot more residents to get chickens of their own, but McCarthy still can’t have any at her apartment.

At press time, the petition had obtained 175 signatures, most of those in the span of just a couple days after McCarthy shared the link on more social media groups.

After she’s obtained at least a few hundred more signatures, McCarthy hopes to start the conversation with aldermen about how to change the ordinance.

Albin said there’s no way to know how many chickens there are in the city since chicken owners are not required to have a permit. But he has noted an uptick in chicken-related complaints, which might be an indication of their growing prevalence.

Albin said he’s worked in code enforcement for Manchester since 2008 and in the first five or six years he received about two or three chicken-related complaints each year. Last year, he estimates he responded to about 10 or 12 chicken-related complaints.

“This year I’ve done six complaints for chickens,” Albin said.

The vast majority of his complaints are related to roosters, which are not allowed, and escaped and free-roaming chickens.

But, once he responds to these cases, Albin almost always finds that the owners don’t have the required full acre of land. So Albin has to inform them the chickens aren’t allowed there.

“Chickens are chickens. They make noise. Whether you like the noise or not, they make noise,” Albin said.

And while the animals themselves are generally odorless, their feces could become problematic if it’s not managed properly, both due to its odor and potential diseases.

According to the city ordinance, there are two things people can do with the animal waste; either compost it in a fullenclosed container with no more than three cubic feet of manure, or remove it from the property.

603-380-9159

NEUROPATHY BREAKTHROUGH TREATMENT There is now a facility right here in Portsmouth, New Hampshire that offers healing and hope without taking additional medications. You no longer need to suffer with nerve pain!

Nerve damage and pain is primarily caused by a lack of blood flow and nutrients to the nerves in the hands, feet, and back. When these nerves begin to “die”, they cause burning, balance problems, discomfort, numbness and tingling. Regardless of what you have been told, neuropathy is often reversible. The National Institutes of Health (part of the U.S Department of Health and Human Services) recently released this breakthrough statement. “Peripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate as long as the underlying nerve cell has not been killed.”

Who says it’s hard to find a good primary care doctor?

The Center for Functional Medicine & Wellbeing has been successfully helping our patients reverse neuropathy for over a decade using a Functional Medicine model.

By getting to the root cause of neuropathy/nerve pain, our patients are routinely able to reduce and/or eliminate the need for medications.

Our leading edge, FDA approved technologies rejuvenate and heal nerves by increasing blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients back to your cells to restore function and stop pain. We empower you, your cells and nerves to optimize health.

Recovery is possible. Our patients tell us they no longer have numbness, or burning.

They sleep better, walk further and enjoy life more.

Your personalized treatment plan is based on a detailed non-invasive neurological and vascular exam. Give us a call today to see if you are a candidate for this care.

Can you tell me a bit about your background?

[I was] born in Sheffield, England. Family came from the mining and the steelwork, which was interesting. I started … would you believe, as an actress and a singer. [I] trained to be a nurse to pay the bills while I was doing all that and then I started working in marketing. I did my big undergrad degree in marketing and international business.

What have your job responsibilities been in Pittsburgh?

I track global investment here in Pittsburgh.

I moved to Pittsburgh about 15, 16 years ago.

The Pittsburgh Regional [Alliance] found me. They’d been told by Sheffield [England], which is a sister city, that they wanted someone who can do international business development in the region, and they said, ‘Someone who can do it and do it really well just moved to Pittsburgh. We suggest you hire her.’ And I’ve been doing business attraction for this region all that time. I’ve been very successful. I’ve won awards for FDI, which is foreign direct investment attraction strategies, and grown with Pittsburgh to make it a strong commodity when it comes to attracting international business.

It’s sort of similar.

It’s economic development. My job is economic development here. It’s attracting new companies and [looking] after existing companies here to grow the tax base. …

I’m dealing with a smaller community in Concord, which is where I’ve been wanting to go anyway. It’s the same skillset that you use. You talk to people, you communicate, you sell the business case and you get them to come in and look and see … that there’s an opportunity there. … What I’m seeing with Concord, it’s what we call an ‘eds and meds.’ There’s a lot of education things, there’s a lot of medical stuff there. It’s … a nice story, I think.

Because that’s what you tell to people is the story, when you’re attracting [businesses].

Why move from a big city to a small city?

When I read the job description, it sold me. It sold me because, we became citizens 18 months ago, U.S. citizens. And we both said, ‘We came to the U.S. to see the United States and experience other parts of the United States.’ Being a citizen, it’s given us the freedom to start looking. … But when I read So you moved to Pittsburgh before you Concord’s job description … and I’ve been up there numerous times for business, it sold me. got that job?

My husband is a software engineer. … He What got you interested in economic decided he wanted to … spend some time in the U.S. He had an interview on the phone, he development?

When you talk to economic developers, we came downstairs, he proposed and said, ‘I think we are going to get married because I want you all kind of say the same thing: It finds you. to come with me.’ He moved to … Pittsburgh You can train for it but it’s not like you’re two weeks later. Seven weeks later, we actually going out to be a teacher or to be a doctor. It got married and coming to Pittsburgh was my kind of finds you. … For me, I had no backhoneymoon. … The idea was we were going to ground in economic development when it do it for a couple of years. I took a sabbatical found me. … Economic development sounds from my job as a brand manager, just to experi- a bit dry, but actually it can be kind of sexy ence it. That was all it was. Fast forward, we’re and cool if you just have that energy and still here and we still love the United States. vision. And I’m really looking forward to being part of that going forward.

We think it’s a fantastic place.

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Buds and burns

Spring officially started March 21, but QOL doesn’t really believe spring has arrived until the trees bud and everything turns a nice shade of green — which QOL saw the beginnings of while driving home from work on Monday. Another sign that winter is over: sunburns, which QOL also acquired lounging on the deck in shorts and a tank top this weekend.

The need for speed

QOL loves zooming through the tolls on I-93 with an E-ZPass. So it wasn’t awesome when, on April 18, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation closed the plaza’s northbound open road toll lanes for maintenance work from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., according to the Concord Monitor.

Food Bank campaign kicks off

The New Hampshire Food Bank launched its 2017 “Nothing Campaign” to raise money for the Food Bank’s services on April 11, according to a press release. Now in its fifth year, Gov. Chris Sununu and Citizens Bank President Joe Carelli bought the first cans of the year. The proceeds from the empty cans, bought at area grocery stores, help pay for food for struggling families.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Last year, the Food Bank distributed 13 million pounds of food. This year, they expect to deliver 14 million. Nearly 140,000 residents don’t know where their next meal is coming from.

Moose health improving

According to preliminary data only one of the calves monitored by researchers died from winter ticks this year, the AP reported.

Last year, nearly 75 percent of the calves died. Researchers think the improvement is thanks to the drought last summer that was believed to have killed off a large number of ticks in the southern parts of the state.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The helpful effects of drought conditions notwithstanding, winter ticks have the upper hand so long as winters are short.

Random thoughts on the NBA season

111787

Even with the Celtics getting out of the gate in less than stellar fashion Sunday vs. the Bulls, here are a few rambling thoughts inspired by the opening of the NBA playoffs. I’ll start with something I’ve been waiting to say all year.

This ain’t the first time a superstar-caliber guy like Kevin Durant has joined a stacked team, as he did with Golden State. And history shows it doesn’t always turn into the expected title. Wilt joined Jerry West and Elgin Baylor in L.A. for the 1968-69 season to give the Lakers three of the five greatest players in league history on one team and L.A. still did what they’d done all through the ’60s — lose to Bill Russell and the Celtics in the finals. And they did it again the next year in the Willis Reed series to the Knicks.

They did finally win in 1971, but only after Baylor retired, ironically the morning L.A. started their famed 33-game winning streak.

Miami also lost in Lebron’s first year there, after barely getting by the Celtics in seven.

So, no guarantee GS wins it.

NBA 101: How many of the 14 men to win an NBA title as a player and a coach can you name?

My MVP Vote: (1) Russell Westbrook — he accepted the challenge to carry the franchise after KD skipped town. I like that.

(2) James Harden — still hate the beard, but a nice comeback after moving to point guard following a season of shooting every time he touched the ball and bickering with Dwight Howard about that. (3) Kawhi Leonard — last week I said this spot was Isaiah Thomas’, but I forgot about him.

That his team won 12 more games than the Cs and he’s the man now in Spurville gives it to him. (4) Isaiah Thomas — don’t want to go all Reggie Jackson on you, but he’s the straw that stirs the Celtics drink.

Nice turnaround move by the Big O. In

recent years Oscar Robertson has generally been kind of, ah, grouchy when asked about present-day players. But he was nothing but class in the closing days of Russell Westbrook’s bid to join him as the only players to average a triple double during an entire season. Maybe that’s because you could tell he likes Westbrook the player.

Good job O. I can’t tell you how much I hate when voters pick an on-the-fence person for the Hall right after they die. What changed?

If they got in then, then they should have gotten in before they died. Dennis Johnson is one thing, as he died at a young age. But someone in poor health like Jerry Krause was when he died last month 10 days before they picked him for the Basketball Hall, or a guy getting up there in age, makes me nuts. Think, people, would ya?

The ridiculous Carmelo Anthony saga rolls on in NYC with Phil Jackson still pushing him out the door and Melo now saying he kinda, sorta, may accept a trade — if to the right team. Can’t blame him for that. But talk is he won’t go unless they get a 20-point-a-game-caliber player back.

Well, if he and the media think they’re getting that back for an on-the-back-nine 33-year-old, with another 31-win season on the resume and on the books for $24 million for two more years, I’m guessing Phil found the stash of LSD he wrote about taking to see the sunset in Malibu in his 1973 book and shared it with the scribes. Just getting the salary cap break is enough for me, because it’s not like they are winning with him. They actually should do what Danny Ainge did in the Rajon Rondo trade — go for a middling first-round pick and an under the radar rising bench player like Jae Crowder was then. Then spend the $24 million on a couple of decent free agents.

But NY being NY, they’ll make the same mistake they’ve been making for 40 years — go for a star power name that doesn’t fit, which is why they haven’t won a title

33 DAYS DAYSOF OFSAVINGS SAVINGS

since 1973.

NBA 101 Answer: The 14 to win an NBA title as a player and then as a coach are Al Cervi (Rochester, Syracuse), Red Holzman (Rochester, NY), Alex Hannum (St. Louis, St. Louis and Philly), Bill Russell (Boston), Bill Sharman (Boston, L.A.), Larry Costello (Syracuse, Milwaukee), Tom Heinsohn (Boston), Pat Riley (L.A. and L.A., Miami), KC Jones (Boston), Billy Cunningham (Philly), Phil Jackson (NY, Chicago and L.A.), Doc Rivers (SA, Boston), Steve Kerr (Chicago, SA and GS) and Tyronn Lue (L.A., Cleveland).

I still can’t pronounce his name, as I’ve never seen more silent letters in one and I can’t remember which are and aren’t silent.

But I’m starting to buy into Milwaukee allname teamer Giannis Antetokounmpo as a real rising star and not a media-hyped (Greek) freak show. Magic Johnson looked gigantic playing point guard, but this guy is much longer. And who wouldn’t want to see a point guard match-up between him and the good Isaiah with a height differential of 1 foot, 2 inches!

Speaking of that ’80s icon, after seeing him as a TV analyst, who thinks Earvin Johnson has the magic to fix the Lakers?

Finally, on the resting thing: Hearing Commissioner Adam Silver talk about the “science and data points” as evidence that team performance improves with rest, I have two reactions: (1) Duh. (2) Is he saying Lou Gehrig was tired when he knocked in those 185 runs in 1931? It’s also not a complex issue as he says. It’s simply that Greg Popovich’s megalomania led him to be so blatant about in a marquee game on national TV. Couldn’t he have just as easily dumped the first game of that road trip by having his guys join them a game into it?

Same result, just no thumb in the eye of the powers that be.

Which brings me back to Duh. Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress. com.

Sports Glossary

Red Ruffing: Hall of Fame hurler with the weirdest dual-personality career in history. He was a horrendous 39-96 in six-plus seasons with the Red Sox, where he lost 22 games in 1928 and 25 in 1929. But after being traded to the Yanks in 1930, he stunningly became an ace! He was 15-5 as a Yank that season, won 20 four times and was 231-124 overall in pinstripes. That made the career mark 273-225 and good enough for entry into the Hall in 1967.

Al Cervi: Never hear of him player who won as a player with Rochester in ’48 and as coach with the Syracuse Nationals in ’55.

Red Holzman: Back in the day player with the Rochester Royals and the only coach to win an NBA title with the Knicks in 1970 and ’73.

Alex Hannum: Only coach to beat a Bill Russell-led team as player-coach for the St. Louis Hawks in 1958 and with Philly in 1967.

The Royals: They started in Rochester and moved to Cincinnati in 1957, then to KC/ Omaha, where they became the Kings in 1975, and finally to Sacramento in 1985.

Oscar Robertson: One-of-a-kind ’60s/70s NBA player who averaged a triple double in 1961-62 with the points-rebounds-assists per game stat line of 30.8, 12.5 and 11.4. He also averaged 30 plus points per six times, along with three double-digit rebounding seasons and five DD seasons in assists. For the 14-year Hall of Fame career it was 25.7, 7.5 and 9.5.

The stories behind NH’s woodlands, plus where to find the state’s coolest trees

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

With 84 percent of our state covered in forests, New Hampshire is the second-most forested state in the nation after Maine, according to the state Division of Forests and Lands. That’s about 4.8 million acres of land, with an estimated 4.2 billion live trees — and much of it goes regularly unexplored.

The state’s greenery and forest types vary from one place to the next. Some forHIPPO | APRIL 20 - 26, 2017 | PAGE 14

ests even have hidden treasures, from rare plant species to ancient trees.

Forest types

New Hampshire’s forests are broken down into five major categories: Appalachian oak-pine, hemlock-beech-oak-pine (or HBOP), northern hardwood conifer, lowland spruce-fir and high-elevation spruce-fir.

According to Gabe Roxby, a field forester with the New Hampshire Forest Society, Appalachian oak-pine forests are only found in southern parts of the state and are relatively less common than the other forest types.

“New Hampshire is kind of at the northern edge of the Appalachian oak-pine forest type,” Roxby said.

It includes species like red oak, white oak, black oak, hickory and pine.

The HBOP forest type is the most common in the state and can be found in large swaths from the Lakes Region down.

Further north and in parts along the west of the state, you’ll find a higher concentration of the northern hardwood forests.

These include the trees with the brightest color leaves during the fall foliage season, such as beech, sugar maple, yellow birch and other birches and maples.

Spruce-fir forests thrive in cold- 16

Pawtuckaway State Park: Located at 7 Pawtuckaway Road in Nottingham, this forest is unique from most other places in the state for a number of reasons. Pete Bowman, wildlife biologist at the New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau, said it’s one of the best forests for finding rare plants. “[Pawtuckaway] has some of the highest concentrations of rare plant species in the state because of its unusual geologic history,” Bowman said. He said the ground beneath the forest is what gives it its unique characteristics. The ring-shaped mountain formation within Pawtuckaway, known as a ring-dike, was the core of an ancient volcano. That lent the area richer soils because of the mineral nutrients released by the old volcanic bedrock. Some plant species need richer nutrient diets to survive. According to ecological inventory reports by the Heritage Bureau, most of the rare plant species in the park are found within the ring-dike.

During surveys, Natural Heritage Bureau researchers found pockets of what are called “rich mesic forest,” which provide for a wide variety of herbacious plants.

Some are common, like Christmas fern or red baneberry. Others are rare, like bur sedge, sickle-pod and climbing fumitory. In 2002, surveyors there found the first occurrence of Hitchcock’s sedge in the state. The dominant forest type in Pawtuckaway is a hemlock-beech-oak-pine (HBOP) forest, which is one of the more common forest types in the state. But there are also trees more commonly found in Appalachian oak forests. The park is always open for recreation but is only staffed full-time from May 1 through Oct. 31.

Coleman State Park: Located at 1166 Diamond Pond Road in Stewartstown,

Coleman State Park is another rich mesic forest with excellent soils for growing a wide variety of plant species, according to Bowman. The ecological inventory of the park published in 2009 states the park is home to a number of rare species such as Goldie’s fern, squirrel corn and others. The forest is a northern hardwood and spruce-fir forest. The park is always open for recreational use and the operating season for the campground goes from May 5 through Oct. 16.

Cape Horn State Forest: Located in Northumberland, this forest contains a “rich mesic forest” that can support a number of rare plant species. The geology of the land balances out the pH and increases the nutrient content in the soil. The forest at the highest elevation is classified as a red pine rocky ridge community, which is dominated by red pine with the occasional red oak and red maple dotting the landscape. At lower elevations, in the rich mesic forest area, hardwoods like sugar maple and white ash dominate. Herbs like northern maidenhair fern and blue cohosh are common, as well as rare plants like Goldie’s fern, beaked sanicle and showy orchis. And in the basin near Dean Brook is a northern white cedar-balsam fir swamp, which also includes black ash. Herbs in the swamp include common species like small enchanter’s nightshade.

On April 8, dozens of families gathered at the 10th Annual Earth Day Celebration at the Massabesic Audubon in Auburn. The coup de grace was the release of a rehabilitated barred owl back into the wild. Parents and small children watched, fascinated, as the bird’s handler, Maria Colby with Wings of the Dawn, opened a large black box and, with a little coaxing, the raptor emerged and flew to the nearest tree cover.

For the bird, the forest is its home. For us humans, it can be a nice place to visit.

But to those of us who are not regular hikers, it can be hard to switch off Netflix and go experience nature.

15 according to the Division of Forests and Lands. The trail starts at the parking area off Route 113 and it leads to some of the largest white pines in New England. To get there, travelers must walk over a wooden pedestrian bridge over the Swift River and a loop trail leads to the grove with the giant trees. Another trail that branches off the main trail leads to an observation tower at the top of Great Hill.

Madame Sherri Forest: Access Madame Sherri Forest through an entrance on Gulf Road in Chesterfield. Inside, you will find not one but four “exemplary natural communities” (the name used by the state to describe distinct and thriving forest ecosystems), an Appalachian oak-pine forest and the ruins of the titular mansion. The 516-acre forest is owned partly by the N.H. Forest Society and the state Department of Resources and Economic Development. The stone ruins are not a feature of a long-lost civilization, but a relic of a prohibition-era socialite who went by Madame Antoinette Sherri. The foundation and stone staircase is all that remains of her French chateau with Roman influences, which burned down in 1962 after Sherri became destitute and abandoned the property. Still, it might be fun for kids to imagine the ruins belonged to a fairy kingdom.

Biggest Bigtooth Aspen: Kevin Martin with the NH Big Tree Program said the bigtooth aspen found at Kingman Farm in Madbury is the 2016 national champion, making it the biggest known tree of its species in the country. Martin said it’s accessible by a 1/4 mile trail accessible from a parking area off Route 155 in Madbury. The exact GPS coordinates are 43°10.263’N, 070°52.026’W.

spotted, from waterfowl, beaver and turtles.

Big Bradford Pine: One of the biggest eastern white pine trees in the state is the so-called Bradford Pine in Bradford. To get there, Martin said to take Exit 9 off Interstate 89 in Warner and take Route 103 to Bradford. Pull over to the trailhead parking area on the left. There are a number of large pines in the same area as the biggest. The exact GPS coordinates are 43°15.974’N, 071°57.588’W.

High Watch Preserve: This property, owned by the Forest Society, surrounds Green Mountain in Effingham and Freedom. “It’s an interesting one because as you go up in elevation you transition from different forest types. So you might start out in like a hemlock, hardwood forest and by the time you’re at the top of the mountain you’re in a spruce forest,” Roxby said. There are multiple paths to the summit with a round trip distance of two to three miles, but the climb can be strenuous. Blueberries are usually abundant near the summit when in season.

There is a fire tower at the top.

Biggest Shagbark Hickory: The largest shagbark hickory tree in the state is found in Adam’s Point, Durham, near the coast of the Great Bay. Martin said if you take the main trail into Adam’s Point for about a 1/4 mile. It is in a field on your left as you approach it. The exact GPS coordi-

Dame Forest: This Forest Society property in Durham includes a mix of HBOP forest and a little bit of Appalachian oak-pine forest, according to Gabe Roxby at the Forest Society. Roxby recommends the Sweet Trail which cuts through the forest with a round trip distance of 8 miles. The trail can be accessed from parking areas on the Dame Road side and the Longmarsh Road entrance on the north side. Dame Forest includes a mix of wetland forest and upland habitats where all kinds of wildlife can be

For that reason, these forest types are divided into lowland and high-elevation categories. They include mostly red spruce and balsam fir. While these are mostly up north, one notable exception is the top of

Mount Monadnock, according to Roxby.

Compared to other nearby states, New Hampshire’s soil is more acidic. Vermont soil, by contrast, is more balanced due to calcium released by more limestone in the bedrock, which makes it better for vegetation. But there are some places in New Hampshire that have richer, moister soils

co-exist with spruce-fir forests. Elevation plays a role in the concentration of the latter type since spruce-fir forests are better adapted to colder climbs.

Rocks Estate: The Rocks Estate in Bethlehem is a reserve that serves as the Forest Society’s North Country Conservation and Education Center, with 13 buildings on the historic register. Roxby said a couple different forest types intermingle there; Northern hardwood forests

Your backyard: Angie Krysiak at the Massabesic Audubon recommends families take the time to do what she calls a “microhike” in some nearby woods, perhaps in your own backyard if you have any. “The big thing that we want people to realize is that if you just go look in your backyard, there’s some amazing stuff going on right there,” Krysiak said. Then she recommends marking off a one-footby-one-foot area with popsicle sticks and monitoring it for a little while. This will help young ones learn how to observe the tiniest forms of life that live in forests. “If you pay attention really closely, you can see that there’s all kinds of things going on in the dirt, there’s all kinds of things going on with the plants that are growing there, there’s all kinds of things going on with all the little wildlife and all the little insects,” Krysiak said. “Even a handful of dirt can have … lots of activity.”

that provide a habitat for more herbaceous plant life. These are called “rich mesic forests” and they include places like Pawtuckaway State Park, Coleman State Park and Cape Horn State Forest (see page 15).

Different forests are also in varying stages of growth. Old growth forests, mature forests and transitional young for-

ests known as “early successional” forests all exist in the state.

Right now, the state’s forests are in a period of significant regrowth and most forests are neither very young nor very old.

“A lot of the forests in our state have been cut over and cleared. Almost all of them. There’s very little old growth left in

the state,” Roxby said.

While most trees are relatively younger, aged around 100 years on average, there are some notable exceptions. A few years ago, state researchers discovered the oldest tree found anywhere in eastern North America. It was a black gum tree (also known as a tupelo) aged about 700 years old. Pete Bowman, wildlife biologist at the New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau, said the tree is located with a few other ancient black gums in a swampy basin on private land in Deerfield.

Animal life

The age and composition of a forest can affect what kinds of animals might take up residence in a forest.

For example, some birds like Grey Jays or Spruce Grouse require spruce-fir forests and can’t be found outside of one. Lots of mammals require significant tree cover for their habitats, so as forests grow back, the state sees an increase in deer, beaver and bobcats. Other species like porcupine and turkey have been doing well as a result of a number of factors from conservation efforts to shifts in predator populations.

Canine species like gray fox, coyote and fisher have reached such high population numbers they are now being affected by natural population controls such as canine distemper.

But while some species thrive in mature forests, others prefer young transitional forests.

Forest historian Tom Wessels of Antioch University of New England said when abandoned farms in the state gave way to rebounding forests, it provided ideal habitat for species like New England cottontail, grassland bird species and warblers that need small, “shrubby” trees.

“Now, we’re seeing them really decreas-

ing because we don’t have those those really early successional ecosystems much anymore,” Wessels said.

Making way for sheep

The current formation, age and composition of the state’s forests was largely the result of human intervention.

According to Wessels, there were two significant historical developments that shaped our forests, the ripple effects of which are still felt today.

The first big wave of deforestation in New Hampshire, and much of central New England, was to make room for sheep pastures, according to Wessels. But for a strange turn of history, this might have never happened.

Farmers in New England had some sheep already, but they didn’t produce very good quality wool. That changed when a diplomat from Vermont named William Jarvis performed an act of international theft.

In the early 1800s, Spain was exporting high quality wool from a special breed of sheep called merino sheep. They grow long hair at faster rates than other breeds and their wool could be woven into higher-quality garments known for being 18 Tree Terminology Coniferous, softwood, evergreen: Often used interchangeably, most coniferous trees keep their foliage year round. They produce cones and most have needle-like leaves, such as pine, fir and spruce.

Deciduous, hardwood, broadleaf: These are the trees that lose their leaves seasonally. Their leaves are wider and their wood is harder. They include species like oak, maple, hickory, birch and beech.

more water resistant and itch-free. Wessels said that while Spain sold the wool, they had an embargo on the sheep itself, hoping to hold onto their merino monopoly.

While serving as consul in Portugal around 1810, Jarvis took advantage of Napoleon’s invasion into Spain and smuggled 4,000 merino sheep out of the country through Portugal, according to Wessels. He even gave a few to his buddy Thomas Jefferson.

Around the same time, after the War of 1812, new tariffs on wool imports protected local wool producers from international competition and by 1814 the power loom was invented, allowing for mass industrial production.

Merino sheep were a sure money-maker for New Hampshire farmers. The only catch was land; sheep need a lot of it. The obvious solution was to clear out huge areas of forest. Wessels said by the middle 1800s, about 80 percent of the state’s forests were cut down, the bulk of them for sheep pasturage.

“It changes the landscape because it’s sort of the first large-scale market farming opportunity for farmers in New Hampshire. Up to that point most farms were self-reliant farms where people were growing enough food for themselves and if they had a little bit left over it would get sold,” Wessels said. “It vaulted the central portion of New England — which would have been all of New Hampshire pretty much south of the Notches — to become one of the major woolen textile producing regions of the world.”

The wool industry would experience ups and downs, usually caused by changes to tariff laws. From 1845 to the 1960s, Wessels said the state experienced a gradual period of farm abandonment, which allowed for reforestation.

“The bulk of our forests today are all generated from that farm abandonment,” Wessels said.

Ironically, almost all the trees cut down for pasturage wasn’t used for timber. They were burned. Farmers could still make money off of the ashes. Pot ash was a key export for making gunpowder and soaps back then.

Timber industry

The second historical development that helped shape our forests today was a significant clearcutting operation that almost wiped them out altogether, especially in the White Mountains.

Wessels said timber was a key industry in the state even during colonial times, when the British would use our trees to construct their navy.

“Really the basis of the New Hampshire economy at the start was timber, because although New Hampshire’s soils were not as fertile as, let’s say, Vermont … New Hampshire soils grew really good pine and oak and both [were] valued for shipbuilding,” Wessels said.

The large pines were used for masts and the oak was used for framing. But those trees were cut selectively.

“They were going after the best trees and they weren’t really clear cutting,” Wessels said.

But by the late 1800s, the timber industry was clearcutting forests in the White Mountains, and it lasted into the 1920s. This gave rise to groups like the Forest Society, which sought to preserve the forests, and new federal conservation policies.

Another thing deforestation did was reduce forest diversity. Historical records suggest a much wider variety of tree species co-existed before the wholesale removal of forest areas, according to Wessels. Today, forests have become more homogenous.

New Hampshire’s state tree

In a way, this clearcutting might have had a significant impact on which tree was chosen to be the official state tree. In 1947, the legislature named the white birch (also known as paper birch) the state tree. White birch is an early successional species and it’s not very tolerant of shade, according to forester Gabe Roxby. This means they thrive in open, sunny areas, but they struggle when tree cover gets too dense. Their boom in populations was a result of the clearcutting and its prevalence may have played a hand in the legislature’s choice.

“I wouldn’t doubt that the clearcutting of the White Mountains had a big impact on that choice because paper birch was one of those trees that came back like gangbusters after that clear cutting,” Wessels said.

Now, the white birch is in sharp decline, according to Roxby, who keeps track via the annual reports put out by the U.S. Forest Service.

Disease

A few other things have affected forest composition over the years. Bowman said the state used to have a lot more elm and American chestnut trees. Dutch elm disease was introduced to the region from

The Rocks Estate. Courtesy photo

diseased logs in the 1930s, according to the UNH Cooperative Extension. Chestnut blight did away with most of the chestnut trees in the region around the same time.

The trees now can only grow to a point and die off to the roots, repeating this cycle, never to reach maturity.

The next big change in the state’s tree composition may be the loss of the ash tree.

New Hampshire is home to white, black and green ash (white being the most common) but all are susceptible to a deadly

invasive insect called the emerald ash borer. Ash have been wiped out in other parts of the country exposed to the beetle, so the state has attempted to slow its progress by banning cross-county transport of firewood, which ash borers can hitchhike on.

Environmental officials are also experimenting with different ways to fight back against the bugs, but the demise of the ash seems otherwise inevitable.

“Ash doesn’t have a super bright future,” Roxby said.

ARTS Enveloped in art Soo Sunny Park on “BioLath”

“BioLath”

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Soo Sunny Park’s “BioLath” seems to sparkle in the Currier Museum of Art’s Putnam Gallery.

The site-specific installation comprises giant boulder-like shapes made from metal lath and colored plexiglass strips, which are suspended from the ceiling and standing on the floor. Light streams through windows and from four artificial light sources and casts shadows against the walls. The sculptures glow.

Your experience may be different depending on the time of day you visit, said Samantha Cataldo, the museum’s assistant curator, during a recent walk-through. The sunlight’s intensity changes as the hours move on, but more importantly, the artificial lights sit on tracks. The shadows move.

“She wanted to mimic the movement and speed of the sunlight, so the walls are always activated by these shadows,” Cataldo said, pointing to the cross-hatching shapes reflected on the walls, some clear, some fuzzy, depending on the proximity of the lath forms.

Park, who lives in the Upper Valley and teaches at Dartmouth, has a resume brimming with installation art, and she’s worked with an

assortment of materials: chain-link fencing, steel, paper clips, cotton strings, latex paint, glue, egg cartons, balloons. She loves construction materials, the kinds you never see because they’re hidden by paint or plaster, but the one she’s most fascinated with is light.

“Light is everywhere. You don’t think of it as something that’s present — you focus on the object you see. I’m interested in trying to make light as a form itself a component in the

work,” Park said via phone.

The installation is part of the museum’s “Contemporary Connections” series, offering New England artists a platform to exhibit new, experimental work. Cataldo reached out to Park about two years ago to gauge her interest, and Park devised the concept and created the mock-up before constructing the lath forms in her personal studio. She spent the entire week before her Feb. 25 opening

Art inspired by art Dimensions in Dance performs a show with original choreography inspired by Soo Sunny Park’s “BioLath” Monday, April 24, from 1 to 1:30 p.m. Company Artistic Director Amy Fortier said via phone the show contains four new pieces.

One takes direct reference to the show and involves dancers emerging from gray, mesh sacks, meant to represent the installation’s organic sculptures. Another plays on the Currier’s vacation week’s “wire” programming and involves alien-costumed dancers discovering a clothesline decorated with bras, wondering what they’re for. (Slingshots, maybe? Skip-its?)

Fortier taught art history at Southern New Hampshire University for eight years. To her, it’s important her dancers learn that art doesn’t manifest from nothing; it’s inspired by other art. It’s why she works hard to keep the company’s relationship with museum strong.

“Anytime we can combine art and dance, it’s like a dream come true, and I think it’s so important for my dancers to learn art is not created in a vacuum. Art borrows from, and is inspired by [other art],” Fortier said.

“It’s a very clear connection for them to see you can have those outside influences shaping movement and the slope of a piece.”

on-site, installing and finishing the largest pieces.

Despite the planning and prep work, it’s always interesting to see how it comes together in the end.

“I have a clear visual expectation of how it’s going to work, but really, as the work comes together in space, there’s always a surprise, uncalculated element,” Park said.

Cataldo said “BioLath” has generated a great deal of interest and dialogue. Kids have said the forms look like marshmallows or clouds, and unlike so many paintings and sculptures in the museum, visitors can get close to the work. Their bodies cast shadows on the walls alongside the lath forms and they become part of the installation. They don’t just view it, but are enveloped by it.

Or at least, that’s the goal.

“I don’t make representational forms. You can’t say, this is a landscape from Vermont,” Park said. “The end result is not of anything specific. It’s about the experience.”

• NH Theatre Awards meeting: The New Hampshire Theatre Awards hosts a rescheduled meeting Monday, May 1, at 7 p.m., at the Hatbox Theatre, 270 Loudon Road, Concord, which was cancelled a month prior because of the snowstorm.

The meeting will offer a reception and an opportunity to reflect and join in on a conversation about expanding the mission and goals of the NHTA. The group seeks new participants to join the organization and work in a variety of roles, particularly leadership roles, as the success of the group is due to member volunteers who give their time to help improve the awards night and adjudication system.

Summer is fleeting in New Hampshire, but the Great Northeast Boat Show can help get you ready to hit the water as soon as the weather warms up.

The 8th annual show, which will feature more than 25 local dealers and 175 boats, will be held over three days at the New Hampshire Sportsplex in Bedford on Friday, April 21, from noon to 8 p.m., Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, April 23, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The event is the largest indoor boat show in the Northeast north of Boston and features everything from small fishing boats to larger pontoon boats, speedboats, jet skis, yachts, stand-up paddleboards and more.

Show co-organizer Suzette Anthony said about 90 percent of the exhibitors who will appear Courtesy photo. at this year’s show are from New Hampshire, with a few addi“We originally came up with the tional dealers from Maine and idea to have a boat show [in New Massachusetts.

great event for families, and especially for fishing or boat enthusiasts looking for an accessory to upgrade or to talk with professionals in the business. Among some of the local vendors will include Bass Pro Shops in Hooksett, the Contoocook River Canoe Company in Concord, daSilva Motorsports in Hampstead, Granite State Dock & Marine in Derry and several others.

able to walk from one to the next and talk to a professional about insurance and financing information,” she said.

Despite the show taking place during the spring season, it is actually much later than some of the larger shows south of New Hampshire.

“Oftentimes boat shows in Boston and in New York City are in January or February,” Anthony said. “However, having ours [later] is an advantage, because an interested buyer can talk to a dealer and potentially be out on the water … after ice-out.”

CORRECTION In the story “Spring camp fun” on p. 26 of the April 13 issue, the information for the Currier Museum of Art’s camp, which runs from Monday, April 24, through Friday, April 28, should have listed the themes as follows: The morning session’s theme is Sparkle, Shimmer and Shine (9 a.m. to noon), where kids will create their own art projects while learning about the effects of light. The afternoon session is themed Light, Shadows, Action! (1 to 4 p.m.) and will go over how the contrasts of light and dark colors can create drama in your artwork and will have an emphasis on the use of shadows. Both camps will offer opportunities to create projects under sculptor Soo Sunny Park.

shitakes. But it’s sort of like fishing, you never know when your logs will produce, or for how many years. But now companies are producing mushroom kits that come ready to go. Most of those are one-time kits that produce just one flush of mushrooms, but they’re easy.

Potatoes are some of the easiest veggies to grow, and are good umami producers. If you want to tear up a 10-foot by 12-foot patch of lawn, you can become potato selfsufficient — for a year! You can build wide raised beds with a walkway down the middle and a little free space around the edges.

Plant seed potatoes 18 inches apart and you can grow a lot of food.

Then there is the VegTrug. I had one last summer and loved it. About 6 feet long and 2.5 feet wide, it is a nice cedar planting trough on legs that is V-shaped in crosssection, so it is deep enough for tomatoes or potatoes. And you don’t have to bend over to pull weeds or harvest herbs. I grew lots of lettuce, herbs and one tomato.

Visit your local farm stand, farmers market or, better yet, sign up now for a CSA. You don’t actually have to grow your own food just to get fresh produce at the peak of its flavor and ripeness.

The fact that we have receptors that are just for umami tells me that umami is something that is good for us. After all, our mouth also tells us when something is not good for us. We have evolved to recognize foods that are healthy. We respond well to sweets and fats because eons ago we needed calories to stay alive. Now, of course, we need to stay away from too much of those.

All this says you could and should grow your own food, and then cook it from scratch. I have written more than once that “Tomatoes are the queen of the garden.” In August I eat ripe tomatoes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Why? I guess all this time I thought it was free will. Now I know it is an addiction to — or an affinity for — umami. Now is the time to plan your garden for the summer.

Dear Anthony, Thanks for sharing your tile with us and thanks for the additional pictures. Tiles are collectible even today. Figural ones such as yours are very interesting — the more detail the better. Being raised and having a bee is a plus as well.

Your tile is most likely from the late 1800s to early 1900s. It was probably part of a fireplace or wall mural, so you have a piece of the pie, not the whole pie. There were lots of companies that produced tiles and I bet with some time on your part you might even be able to figure out the manufacturer.

When you’re valuing tiles it is usually by the maker, age, subject and condition. So even though you only have the one for this set, I would say because of the subject and color it would be in the $80 range (even with the tiny chip). Now imagine if you

HIPPO | APRIL 20 - 26, 2017 | PAGE 35

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Why it’s best to get two tires replaced when you get a flat Dear Car Talk: I have a 2015 BMW X3 equipped with runflat tires. I was told that I have “7s” on the front and “9s” on the back.

However, I recently got a flat tire on one of my

By Ray Magliozzi rear 9 tires. So I bought a brand-new tire and put it on the front, along with the other 9 that used to be on the back.

Then I put the two 7s on the back. Now I’m told that the new tire is bigger than the old 9 and it will screw up my all-wheel-drive system. So I intentionally deflated the new tire a little bit (29 psi, compared with the recommended 30 psi) and inflated the other 9 (to 32 psi, compared with the recommended 30 psi), and I kept the rear 7s 35 psi, as recommended. The purpose is to make the new tire a little smaller, so that it’s the same diameter as the 9. Is this a good approach? — Chen No. I don’t recommend toying around with tire inflation, because it can compromise both safety and handling. And it’s not a very effective method of diameter control.

Let’s start with the basics, Chen. When a mechanic measures your tire and says it’s a 9, he’s not talking about how sexy it is. It means that you have 9/32 inch of tread left.

Most tires start out with about 12/32. When you get to 2 or 3, you’ll see the tire’s wear bars, which means the tire is ready to become a swing. But in reality, most people want to replace their tires before they get that worn.

Studies show that stopping distances are much longer on wet roads when tread depth gets below about 4/32. And performance on snowy roads degrades below 5/32. And since you bought an all-wheel-drive vehicle, Chen, I’m guessing that weather is an issue where you live. That means those 7s are already getting near the end of their useful lives.

Add to that the fact that you are endangering your all-wheel-drive system by using tires of different sizes. Your X3, like most all-wheel-drive vehicles, has a center differential. That allows all four wheels to turn at different speeds (which they must do) when the car is turning.

But if you have different size tires on the car, the wheels will always be turning at different speeds, adding lots of wear and tear to the differential. And center differentials are expensive, so you don’t want to risk yours unnecessarily.

So what do you do now? Well, manufacturers have different recommendations about how similar tires should be to one another (check your own owner’s manual). But most

suggest a tread difference of no more than 2/32 or 3/32 inch. So if you’ve got two 7s and a 12, you’ve got a problem, Chen.

One solution is to simply keep the new tire you bought, and buy three more. That’s expensive, because you still have some useful life on the three tires you’d be throwing away. But that’s the best option from a mechanical point of view.

Another option is to have that new tire “shaved” to match its axle-mate. That involves taking a perfectly good, new tire, and paying a tire store $30 to turn it into a tire with 15,000 miles on it. Most people resist that idea because it seems wasteful.

But when you compare that with the cost of three more new tires, shaving or matching the new tire may be the way to go. Then you’d have two 9s up front and two 7s in the back. Not ideal, but acceptable to most manufacturers.

Dear Car Talk: We have a 2009 Honda Odyssey LX. At 90,000 miles, we changed the timing belt and water pump before a cross-country trip. Mistake. On the interstate, driving on the way to the Black Hills, the car lost power for a few seconds, half recovered and then died. It was as if we had run out of gas, but there were

two to four gallons left in the tank. We rolled to a stop, turned it off, turned it back on and drove 10 miles to the next gas station, where we filled it up, and it was fine. A day later, the same thing happened near Little Big Horn.

Three months later, same thing in Idaho. And then two more times since then over the past year. It’s always when it has less than a quarter of a tank of gas in it, and it’s always when traveling at or near highway speed. And it always restarts right away. Two Honda dealers couldn’t find anything wrong. What should we do? — John This sounds like a classic case of a fuel pump going bad. When the fuel pump is weak, it’s most likely to misbehave when it’s hot and been running for a long time, and when the demand for fuel is greatest. When is that? When you’re on a long highway trip, climbing a mountain, and it’s midsummer.

Have your shop put a pressure tester on your fuel pump. I’m pretty sure it’ll be below spec, and a new fuel pump will be the answer. And, by the way, changing the timing belt and water pump before that big trip was not a mistake at all. In fact, if you hadn’t changed the timing belt, you’d probably be writing us from Little Big Horn to ask how much you should pay for a new engine.

Rent vs. Own? This is the Question

Deciding to make the leap from Renter to Homeowner can be difficult, time consuming and scary. But it doesn’t have to be! There are benefits to both. Renting gives you the ability to “try out” a neighborhood, the schools, the commute, without the commitment of buying. However, buying your own home can open up more possibilities that renting cannot.

Predictability! Once you sign on the dotted line, you know for the foreseeable future, what your payment will be. Often times, rent payments increase over time or a landlord could choose to sell the rental property leaving you with short notice to find new housing.

Plus, a monthly mortgage payment may be less expensive than rent.

Adding your own style! Most landlords restrict you from

painting, changing light fixtures, updating flooring, and other things that would allow you to put your own personal touch on the space. Other things like swing sets, grills, or even hanging pictures could be off limits.

Build Equity! Every time you make a mortgage payment, or make upgrades to your home, you are increasing the equity (Equity = What your home is worth minus what you owe on your home). So when you do decide to move, you are essentially making some of that money you paid, back.

Additionally, when you make certain energy efficient upgrades to your home like windows, solar panels, water heaters or furnaces, you could qualify for tax credits.

Jeffrey Barraclough Museum curator

Jeffrey Barraclough is the director of operations of the Manchester Historic Association and curator at the Millyard Museum in Manchester.

Explain what your current job is.

My job title is director of operations for the Manchester Historic Association, which, as a small staff, we wear several different hats. My job kind of encompasses the job of both curator and overseeing the collections and holdings that we have — the historical archives, the collection of objects, etc. — as well as a business manager, overseeing the day-today operations of both our museum and research center.

How long have you worked there?

I’ve been here just over six years.

How did you get interested in this field?

I’ve been interested in the field of local history since I was in high school. I volunteered at a local historic society in the town where I grew up. I knew from then that I wanted to pursue a career in that field. … I went to Salem High School in Salem, New Hampshire.

and then I went to work for the National Park Service in Quincy for the Adams National Historic Park. … That was a great experience, working … in a library of John Quincy Adams. I learned a lot of curatorial skills, how to properly care for historical manuscripts and books.

ums, there’s a lot of focus on the curating piece of it, the archive piece. But it’s also important that you recognize when you’re operating a museum, you’re operating a business. So the business side of things … is a really crucial part of running a museum.

FOOD Vegging out

Annual vegan festival features lectures, vendors and more

By Angie Sykeny

News from the local food scene

asykeny@hippopress.com

By Angie Sykeny

For vegans looking to connect with likeminded people or anyone interested in learning more about the vegan lifestyle, NH Veg Fest will feature a variety of lectures, demonstrations, vegan food vendors and more.

The annual festival takes place Saturday, April 22, at Manchester Community College.

“It creates a community,” event cofounder and coordinator Kathy DesRoches said. “A lot of people have families and friends who will say, ‘Just eat a piece of ham, it won’t kill you,’ so it’s easy to feel alone as a vegan. [Veg Fest] gives people the information to make decisions based on their values, and then a place to meet others who share those values.”

There will be four one-hour lectures starting at 10:30 a.m., covering topics like vegan nutrition, environmental impacts of animal agriculture, how to navigate personal relationships and wellness as an animal advocate, and how to cultivate an ethics of dialogue in social movement practices.

Four one-hour demonstrations will also begin at 10:30 a.m.; the topics will be vegan nutrition, vegan cooking, brewing kombucha and growing microgreens.

“I think the educational part is important,” DesRoches said. “There will be a lot of information about the body and being vegan, and it’s taught by nutritionists and experts, so you can ask questions and talk to people who know what they’re talking about.”

There will be more than a dozen vendors like Willow’s Plant-based Eatery in Concord and Susty’s Cafe vegan eatery in Northwood, serving soups, seitan and tofu sandwiches and flatbread pizzas; HippieCakes, a vegan bakery and dessert business opening a retail location in Raymond later this year; Taco Party food truck from Massachusetts, serving vegan Mexican cuisine like sweet potato tacos; and Like No Udder vegan ice cream truck from Rhode Island, serving soft-serve and hard ice cream, ice cream novelties, floats and

shakes, all made with soy, cashew, coconut, almond and peanut milk bases.

“It’s a good chance to try out all kinds of different vegan foods in one place,” DesRoches said.

In addition to the educational programs and food vendors, NH Veg Fest will feature live music all day, drum circle workshops at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., and Veg Speed Date — speed dating for vegans and vegetarians — at noon and 1:30 p.m.

DesRoches said the festival is a welcoming, family-friendly environment, and that non-vegans should not feel intimidated to come learn, eat and enjoy the various activities.

“We don’t judge,” she said. “If someone isn’t vegan that’s fine, and no one will mind. We’re just happy to have people come, hang out and have a good time.”

Pretty tasty

Cookbook features beautiful dishes with herbs and flowers

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Chef, gardener and cooking instructor Liz Barbour of The Creative Feast has a philosophy when it comes to food: It should look as good as it tastes. Now, she’s teaching others how to prepare nutritious and visually stunning dishes with her new cookbook Beautifully Delicious.

Beautifully Delicious is Barbour’s first published cookbook and is inspired by her edible garden in Hollis, a garden in which she arranges fruit and vegetable plants, herbs and edible flowers among ornamental plants and flowers, the concept being that growing food

doesn’t have to mean sacrificing aesthetic.

“The title perfectly describes what the book offers; all of the recipes are focused on food that is beautiful to look at and that tastes delicious” Barbour said. “Because they’re so beautiful, a lot of the recipes look complicated, but the fact is, they’re very simple to make.”

The book features more than 60 recipes highlighting herbs and edible flowers that can be easily grown at home or found at a local grocery store. Many of the herbs are ones commonly used in the kitchen, and the flowers, though still up-and-coming as a food ingredient, are well-known varieties such as pansies, marigolds, roses and tulips, “The idea is that the ingredients are famil-

iar, and that goes for the edible flowers, too,” Barbour said. “It’s just that people haven’t been as free with using them for cooking, so this book gives you permission to use them.”

Beautifully Delicious includes recipes for things like flower and herb summer rolls, flower and herb salads, zucchini noodles with herb pesto, rack of lamb with mint sauce and salmon filet with herb Dijon. There are also recipes for drinks, like lavender-infused gin, and for pastries and desserts, like flower crepes and marigold cake with buttercream frosting.

Most recipes have variations, such as a potato-based garden herb soup that can be turned into a spiced-up seafood chowder with shrimp, scallops, haddock and saffron, 42

Between recipes, the book also features lessons on herbs and how to use them, proper knife techniques and cooking methods for things like how to cut and cook an onion.

Beautifully Delicious can be pre-ordered on The Creative Feast website or directly from Barbour during any of her upcoming library programs. It is set to ship in early May.

After the book is officially released, Barbour will sell and sign copies at The Cozy Tea Cart in Brookline on Saturday, May 13, and at her annual edible garden tour happening at the end of June, where people can see many of the herbs and edible flowers featured in the book. More Beautifully Delicious presentations and signings are to be announced.

Garden Herb Soup Taken from Liz Barbour’s new cookbook, Beautifully Delicious. Variations of this recipe are also included in the book.

parsley 2 tablespoons chopped tarragon or rosemary Kosher salt Pepper, freshly ground

(Serves 4) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup chopped onion 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced 2½ cups chicken stock, vegetable stock, or hot water 1¼ cups milk (low-fat is fine) ½ cup heavy cream 4 cups chopped mixed herbs (baby arugula, sorrel, watercress, lovage or dandelion leaves) 1 cup chopped, loosely packed flat-leaf

Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed soup pot over low heat. Add the onion and cook over low heat until the onion is soft, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the sliced garlic and continue cooking until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add diced potato, stock (or water), milk and chopped herbs to the soup pot.

Increase the heat to medium high and simmer until the potatoes are fully cooked, about 15 minutes more. Add the heavy cream. Puree the soup in the pot with an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, you can serve the soup without pureeing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot or cold.

SUNDAYS • 11-2pm

Vegan chef Christine Fletcher of Concord developed an interest in cooking while backpacking through Europe shortly after graduating from high school. “I started to appreciate what was happening there with the slow food movement,” she said. “Their approach to eating appealed to me, and I decided I wanted to pursue cooking as my profession.” She took a job at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, where she trained under renowned chefs, then went on to work as a chef at a top restaurant in New Zealand. Since Fletcher returned to New Hampshire a few years ago, she’s been offering private and group cooking lessons, in-home personal chef services and vegan workshops and cooking demonstrations. She also serves as chef for the summer retreats at Bethel Farm Yoga, a farm-to-table retreat center in Hillsborough. Her next vegan workshop is Saturday, April 22, at Ohana Yoga in Contoocook (see ohanayoganh.com for details). For more information about Fletcher’s services, email her at christine.elaine. fletcher@gmail.com or check out her Facebook page at facebook.com/christinecooksll.

FOOD

FROM THE

pantry

Ideas from off the shelf

Skillet Cornbread I finally bought my first cast iron pan.

I’m not sure what took me so long to make the investment, as I’ve seen countless recipes that would be best made and served in the heavy-duty cookware. When recipes have called for the oven-safe pan, I’ve typically found a work-around, or switched from a stove-top pan to an oven-safe dish mid-recipe. But no more.

The first recipe I was dying to try was for homemade cornbread. My husband took advantage of the summer-like weather last weekend for the inaugural use of the smoker this season. On the menu were racks of ribs and brisket, and I wanted something to soak up any leftover barbecue sauce.

I’ve made cornbread muffins before, usually from the box, but this was my first time making cornbread from scratch. I turned to my fail-proof purveyor of downhome recipes: Ree Drummond. With just a few ingredients, this cornbread is surprisingly pantry-friendly.

The main ingredient, cornmeal, I’ve had sitting in my pantry for months. I typically use it for chili, but run out of uses for it after that. Aside from the buttermilk, I had everything I needed to make this dish. And for once, I followed the recipe precisely.

While I’m not exactly a cornbread conSkillet corn bread Recipe courtesy of Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman (thepioneerwoman.com) 1 cup yellow cornmeal 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup milk 1 whole egg 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 cup shortening 2 tablespoons shortening

Menu includes bibb salad with Champagne vinaigrette, spinach and sweet pea manicotti with fontina fondue sauce, and lemon curd truffle with fresh ber-

noisseur, I can tell you my finished product was just slightly overcooked, and therefore a bit dry. I only cooked it for about 20 minutes, but I’m thinking closer to 16 would have done it before a few final minutes cooking with just the residual heat of the skillet.

Friends of ours who joined us for dinner said the finished product was good, but not sweet enough, and suggested I drizzle some honey on it the next time I whip up a batch.

They also agreed with my assessment of its being dry.

Although my finished product wasn’t as perfect and delicious as I hoped, it was still tasty. It was a wonderful vehicle for mopping up residual barbeque sauce, which helped compensate for the dryness. I’ll be trying this recipe again, hopefully soon, and make a few alterations to cooking time and sweetness until I’m satisfied I’ve mastered skillet cornbread.

— Lauren Mifsud Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine cornmeal, flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl. Stir together. Measure the buttermilk and milk in a measuring cup and add the egg. Stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until combined. In a small bowl, melt 1/4 cup of shortening. Slowly add melted shortening to the batter, stirring until just combined. In an iron skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons shortening over medium heat. Pour the batter into the hot skillet. Spread to even out the surface. (Batter should sizzle.)

Cook on stovetop for 1 minute, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

This California/Ireland-based indiefolkie has lazed under the mainstream radar for 20 years, along the way contributing soundtrack moments to such TV shows as Felicity, Roswell and — since one takes it where one can get it — the soap Another World. This is her eighth album if you count her (also solo) oeuvre under the name astroPuppees, a project that could get a little grungy on the guitar side, but since then she’s gone onto a more housewifemanna approach, including here at this batch of wispy, caramel-nougat-filled Weepies-like songwriting exercises that are quite good at times, “Pulling for Romeo” in particular. Principally it’s introspective, lazing-by-the pond substances punctuated by stress-free additives like toy-piano, mouth-pops, things of that stripe, whether her guitar is plugged or unplugged. Most everything is kid-safe and major-key-centric, the one notable exception being “The Darkest stars,” a torchy, pining trifle Ryan’s Shawn Colvin-like voice curls itself around to good effect.

It’s so weird, I was 100-percent sure I’d covered one of this avant-punk duo’s albums before, but after a lot of digging it appears I haven’t. Brooklyn-based cousins Ev Gold (guitar) and Paul Claro (drums) launched this project in 2008, founded on a love for antique SST Records releases and a Greg Ginn connection that eventually led to a 50-date tour opening for Black Flag in 2014. The great thing about this sort of setup — one guy stomping around wailing on an ax and providing plenty of visual cues for the drummer to go by — is the rootsy, organic output, in this instance an ability to change tempo at one glance, but these guys’ past stubborn fourth-grader fascination with that stuff has given way to more rhythmic cohesion. Their penchant for calamitous, theatrical pseudo-industrial noise is still intact (“Bomb Plot”), while filler tunes like “Run Until You’re Out” read like a mixture of Redd Kross and Soundgarden. Tortured, mercurial, perfect stuff. A — Eric W. Saeger

THE HUNGRY BUFFALO

• Ray Davies of the Kinks was knighted by Queen Elizabeth recently, because instead of real knights being knighted anymore, nowadays she taps her magic wand on the heads of people her keepers used to like to hear on transistor radios at the fish and chip stand. So don’t worry, if Britain is ever invaded by angry Huns, the whole place will be protected by 80-year-old men who are very good at cashing royalty checks and warding off 80-yearold groupie girls and nothing else. His first solo LP since 2008, Americana, due out April 21, features backup help from The Jayhawks, and the first single is “Poetry,” a jangle crunch tune that rates “OK” on an “OK to Awesome” scale.

• Former Soft Boy Robyn Hitchcock has decided to be rad and self-title his 22nd album. This is an increasing trend, but it doesn’t bother me that much, so off I go to the YouTube to hear the single “I Want To Tell You About What I Want.” Huh, he’s on Yep Roc Records now, which may still be rad for all I know.

Do people still care about this guy? This song sounds like the Monkees trying to be Donovan, a sixties groove wrapped in indie half-baked-ness.

• Humorless metal drips Incubus release their new LP, 8, also on April 21. I suppose if I were trapped on a desert island with an Incubus album or a single that had the theme to What’s Happening on both sides, I’d listen to Incubus more. That’s how much I appreciate their artistry. “Nimble Bastard,” the new single, has nice raw guitars, cool clanging drums, no guitar solo and boring vocals. In another dimension, people have realized these guys are basically Creed trying to sound like older Linkin Park and no one cares about them.

• This is common knowledge to people who think they’re cool just because they listen to music normal people don’t like, but it’s no longer necessary to use the word “angular” when discussing British band Maxïmo Park, as they made the jump to a more general-isue style of songwriting an album ago and thus no longer deserve their more commonly spelled name, “that band that’s like Gang of Four, I forget their name.” Risk to Exist, their new LP, comes out April 21, and will feature some song that doesn’t sound like the Kinks, if these baiting metrosexuals actually have changed, like I care. OK, big whoop, the title track has a chorus that Elvis Costello could have written while undergoing a lobotomy — that’s supposed to mean they’ve become actual songwriters? Oh look, they’re wearing suits and ties, gag me.

Driven by voice

Ludwig on his debut novel, Ginny Moon

Barrington writer Benjamin Ludwig found the voice of his character Ginny Moon while attending his then-teenage daughter’s Special Olympics games, years ago — though the way he describes it, her voice found him.

“The voice came to me and demanded that I express it, that I write it from that very distinct perspective,” Ludwig said via phone, a couple weeks before the release of his first novel, Ginny Moon, which he celebrates with a May 1 launch party at Water Street Bookstore. “I couldn’t keep her voice quiet! She kept talking, so I kept typing.”

The book, released officially May 2 by Park Row Books, is about a teenage girl with autism named Ginny Moon. For the most part, Ginny’s a typical teenager, playing the flute in the high school band, reading Robert Frost poetry in English class. But she also holds an obsession to reconnect with her abusive and drug-addicted birth mother, Gloria, despite the fact she’s finally found foster parents who care about her.

Some of the book’s inspiration stems from Ludwig’s personal and professional experiences.

He and his wife adopted their daughter, who has autism and is now 21, in 2009, at which time they became part of a large Seacoast community of families with kids who have special needs through Special Olympics sporting events. Ludwig also worked in the public school system for years, his most recent job being as a teacher-mentor at Dover Middle School.

“I noticed very early through my own experience teaching … [that] children with special needs use language in a very different way than you and I might use it.

We use language to express how we feel, and to think out loud. Very often, children with special needs will only use language to communicate immediate needs. A lot of their world is nonverbal,” he said. “It’s almost like they’re using language as a tool rather than a form of expression.”

But Ginny Moon is very different from anyone he’s ever met — particularly his own daughter, who was happy to hear he’d written about a girl with autism but appalled

to learn Ginny was such a rule-breaker.

“Our daughter is on the straight and narrow all the time,” Ludwig said, laughing.

“Our own experience with our own daughter was nothing like the experience in the book, thank goodness.”

Because his protagonist’s voice came so naturally, Ludwig was able to write the entire manuscript in 2014 with little difficulty. It was unlike any writing experience he’d ever had, which is saying something, as he’d written 10 other “bad” novels before this one. He’s been a self-described “writing addict” since the fourth grade. Every day, he wakes at 3:30 a.m. to write before his three kids and wife wake.

His book deal happened in 2016 while he was in the midst of earning his Master of Fine Arts at the University of New Hampshire. Ludwig’s position was unique; he’d finished the novel and found an agent before starting the program. His dream is to teach creative writing on the college level.

“For me, the MFA is a teaching degree. Anyone in an MFA program will tell you, you don’t need a college degree to have a book published. Most of our greatest writers do not have MFA degrees,” Ludwig said. “But they won’t let you [teach college creative writing] unless you have a book and also the degree to go with it. The degree shows you’ve studied the craft of writing, so I do think it’s beneficial.”

Until then, he’s busy promoting Ginny Moon. After the book launch, he steps on a plane for a cross-country book tour. He hopes readers have a good time reading Ginny’s story, but he also hopes the book raises awareness about the need for adoptive parents in the United States.

“My wife and I will definitely adopt again at some point,” Ludwig said. “There are kids out there who need homes. And a lot of them are teenagers. It’s something good to think about and reflect on, and maybe even consider.”

POP CULTURE BOOKS

The Lost City of the Monkey God, Douglas Preston. (Grand Central Publishing, 304 pages) A hundred pages into The Lost City of the Monkey God, and anyone who sits at a desk for a living will start questioning her life choices.

While corporate America calculates and files and types, there is someone right now earning a paycheck by tramping around a Mesoamerican rain forest, interacting with curious tapirs and taking photos that would ensure virility on social media. Douglas Preston is one of those seemingly enviable people, but don’t worry — by the time you near the end of his new book, you’ll be appreciating your day job again.

A novelist who has also written for National Geographic, Smithsonian and other chronicles of natural history, Preston has traveled to exhilarating places, but at a cost he makes clear in The Lost City of the Monkey God. The book is the long version of a short version that’s been told elsewhere, of how in 2015 a team led by a documentary filmmaker was able to accomplish what oth-

ers have tried and failed to do over centuries: uncover the truth about Ciudad Blanca, or the White City, a legendary ruin in a region of Honduras called La Mosquitia.

Yeah. Not exactly the name of a place you’d want to go to on your honeymoon.

Mosquitoes, however, are but the start of it. The eastern tip of Honduras, inaccessible to anyone not carrying a machete, is a thick jungle that teems with vipers and jaguars, and, as Preston and half his team find out, something else equally deadly, though surprisingly so: sand flies that carry a skin-eating disease.

The journey is not for the faint of heart, nor the devoid of technology. Finding the remains of the ancient civilization, known to locals as the “Lost City of the Monkey God,” appeared impossible until the development of lidar, light detection and ranging, a technology that uses lasers to map territory from an aircraft. By using lidar in 2012, Preston’s team was able to do something previous treasure-hunters and archeologists couldn’t: locate with precision areas concealed in a thick forest that appeared to

have once been inhabited by humans.

This is something that New Englander Theodore Morde could have used when he tried to find the White City in 1940. Morde, a flashy journalist from New Bedford, Massachusetts, made worldwide headlines after he returned from a four-month expedition to Honduras and announced that he had found the lost city in an area rich with gold, silver and platinum deposits. Fourteen years later he killed himself, having never returned to the site or revealed its location.

The journey fueled popular interest in the legend, making it somewhat of a holy grail for archeologists.

Preston solved this anterior mystery last year when he obtained copies of Morde’s journals and discovered that the whole thing had been a hoax. How he came to learn this — and what Morde was actually doing in Honduras — is one of the interesting sub-plots of the story, as is the role a Boston fruit company founded in 1885 played in the complicated history of Honduras. (It’s also connected to the origin of the phrase “banana republic.”)

Preston’s account of how Americans came to be enthralled with an ancient city whose existence was still very much in doubt is engrossing, but slows to dullness on occasion with the intricacies of Honduras political history. The dialogue he offers — while no doubt authentic, given the gen-

erous dosing of expletives — feels stilted at times, even cringeworthy, as when someone tells Preston not to reveal something they said, and he not only includes it, but includes their requests not to print it.

For all the celebration over the team’s findings, some people will wonder why so much money and time was spent (and lives nearly lost) to find some crude statuary and moss-encrusted broken pots. It’s clearly a win for Honduras, which has gained an unknown chapter of its history and new lure for tourists, thanks to a cadre of intrepid Americans. Archeology as a profession benefits as well.

For most of us, however, the lone benefit is this story, which catapults the reader into an almost unfathomable past and a present that is equally hard to conceive.

Like hacking one’s way through the world’s deepest jungle, reading this book requires some mental effort to keep up if you’re not a student of Central America or archeology. But it is a worthy antidote to the silly survival reality shows, the Naked and Afraids, in which beautiful people endure temporary hardships so they can be famous. Getting to what’s now called La Ciudad del Jaguar — the City of the Jaguar — required not only clothes but snake gaiters, and the stories Preston tells are not salacious, but important.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

The Fate of the Furious (PG-13)

Vin Diesel’s Dom turns against his longtime friends, even his wife, Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty, in The Fate of the Furious, the eighth Fast and Furious movie.

Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon in Cuba when he first meets a woman we later learn is Cipher (Charlize Theron), international hacker terrorist troublemaker whatever I’ve already stopped caring what her deal is. In short, Cipher is the bad guy.

Later, Dom and his team — Letty, Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej Parker (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges), Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) — agree to do a job for governmental agent bad-ass Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson). It’s an off-the-books thing to steal an electromagnetic pulse weapon. The team is successful but then Dom double-crosses Hobbs and takes off with the weapon. Hobbs winds up in jail with Deckard (Jason Statham), a criminal from previous movies who has a brother named Owen (Luke Evans), who was also in some of the previous movies.

Hobbs and Deckard, who, hilariously, have cells across from each other (is that how prison works?) basically spend their time trading threats until their breakout is arranged by Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell)

and his associate, whom they mostly call Little Nobody (Scott Eastwood), which I find kind of silly and endearing. Both Nobodies work for another shadowy government organization that brings together Hobbs, Deckard and Dom’s team to find Dom and Cipher. (Side note: By the end of the movie, it appears that Eastwood is auditioning for the “blond lawman” slot left open after the real-world death of actor Paul Walker. Brian, Walker’s character, stays retired in the franchise’s plot

along with Jordana Brewster’s Mia, Brian’s wife and Dom’s sister, though the movie does give them a few shoutouts.)

Why is Dom working for a bad guy?

Because she has something on him. Something explosive involving a character from a previous movie. Something I never could have guessed. Mostly because I totally forgot about that character’s existence and, when I remembered, first thought the person was a different character, who I actually think might have died a

“I don’t think that’s how fire works.” “I don’t think that’s how gravity works.” “I don’t think a car can do that.” “What did he just say? I don’t think that collection of words actually constitutes a meaningful sentence.” These are statements that apply not only to The Fate of the Furious but to pretty much all of the Fast and Furious movies. Not that it matters. Realistic portrayals of physics and language usage are not the point of these movies. Awesomeness is the point. Unadulterated vroom vroom silly, entertaining awesomeness.

Here, with a few mild spoilers, is what this movie has going for it: • A car race involving a car that is racing backward and on fire.

• A car chase involving a submarine.

• A car chase involving a wrecking ball.

• A car chase that might make you question the benefits of self-driving cars.

humans and their emotional baggage” was my feeling about 2014’s Godzilla and is my feeling about this sameuniverse King Kong revival.

B*Get Out Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams.

From the mind of writerdirector Jordan Peele (of Key & Peele fame) comes this terrifying movie where the suburbs/exurbs are creepy and the monster is racism!

When a man goes to the country for a weekend to meet his girlfriend’s parents, the fact that her white family doesn’t know he’s black is the very least of his troubles. This is an exceptionally well-constructed horror movie where the tension and 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

Ghost in the Shell (PG-13) Scarlett Johansson, Pilou Asbæk.

This shiny, boring adaptation of a popular manga/anime universe has Johansson wearing out whatever interest I had left in seeing her as an action star. The movie does nothing interesting with its setup (that ScarJo is a human brain in fully synthetic body) and seems to lean on blah special effects and whatever pre-existing feelings people have about the source material. C*Logan (R) Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart.

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.

When a young girl with familiar abilities shows up, Logan must reluctantly take on the role of her protector. Excellent performances all around make this gritty (but still not grim) movie one of the better entries in the X-Men universe. B

Jessica Chastain is The Zookeeper’s Wife, in a movie based on the true story of the couple who helped hundreds of Jews escape the Nazis in World War II-era Warsaw.

The movie opens a few months before war begins so we can see Antonina Zabinski (Chastain) at her happiest — tending to the elephants, camels, monkeys, big cats and other animals at the Warsaw, Poland, zoo where she and her husband, Jan (Johan Heldenbergh), live and work with their young son, Ryszard (Timothy Radford as a young boy, Val Maloku as an older one). We also see her catch the eye of Lutz Heck (Daniel Brühl), the director of the Berlin zoo who is obviously going to turn into a creepy bully later, but I think at first meeting we’re supposed to see him as just another scientist who understands what a whiz Antonina is with animals.

And then, war.

Many of Antonina’s beloved animals are killed during the initial bombardment and the chaos caused by cages’ being blown open. When the Germans arrive, Heck comes with them, gently explaining to Antonina that her surviving animals will be killed, by order of the government. But he can save some of them by taking them to his zoo. Antonina seems to choose to think (or maybe just hope) Heck is genuinely trying to help his fellow zoo-

The Zookeeper’s Wife (PG-13)

keepers and friends. Jan points out that, as Hitler’s top zoologist, Heck can basically take whatever he wants and that the promise to return animals “after the war” is unlikely.

Eventually, though, Antonina learns the score. It is Heck himself who makes good on the “government wants to kill your animals” threat and, when the Zabinskis tell him they want to use the zoo to farm pigs in order to keep it going, he declares that he will also use the facility for his pet project to breed back into existence an extinct animal or some kind of Nazi craziness.

This also allows him to continue creeping around Antonina, which she basically has to put up with in order to keep him from killing her family just because he can and also to keep him from looking around at what else might be happening at the zoo.

Moved first by the plight of Jewish friends and then by what is happening generally in the Warsaw Ghetto, the Zabinskis decide to use the zoo as a place to hide people, either temporarily until another hiding place can be found or for the duration of the war. The pig farming serves as cover to allow Jan to take a large truck into the ghetto to gather trash to serve as food for the pigs. As he leaves the ghetto, his trash cans are full — with a layer of food waste covering hidden people.

There is something very soft-focus about the way this movie gives us the horror of war, generally, and the horrors of this particular war. But it still has moments that deliver a gut punch: very young children getting on cattle cars headed for what we know (and what Jan, who witnesses it, guesses) will very likely be their deaths. Desperate women dying their hair blonde so that when they leave the zoo they can pass for Christian. Scenes of Heck and his “flirtation” with Antonina.

Sure, sometimes it feels like the whole movie is leaning on Chastain in period dress but then you get a quick glimpse of, say, people in the ghetto fighting over food and the movie’s earnestness feels more earned.

And that’s kind of the whole movie — an interesting story, told with gentleness but not afraid of letting the horror through, more tell-y than show-y but overall basically admirable. No performance sticks out, for good or for ill. Nothing about the way the story is told or the script is either so bad or so great that it takes your attention away from the material itself. The Zookeeper’s Wife feels like an earnest but worthy exploration of a fascinating story from one of the darkest times in modern history. B Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, disturbing images, violence, brief sexuality, nudity and smoking. Directed by Niki Caro and with a screenplay by Angela Workman (based on the book by Diane Ackerman), The Zookeeper’s Wife is two hours and seven minutes long and distributed by Focus Features.

Does all of this make sense? No. Again, does it matter? No. Because, is The Fate of the Furious fun? Yes. At two hours and 16 minutes, this movie should be shorter, I’d say at least 30 minutes shorter. I get that Charlize Theron can do campy villain but she needs to either turn the silliness down a notch or two or turn it way up so she is at Ravenna the evil queen from those Huntsman movies volume from the start. There’s a lot of talk about family and “that’s not Dom” and Cipher’s motives which, gah, I do not care about Cipher’s motives — all of that could easily go. In fact, any conversation that isn’t at least 70 percent characters making fun of each other is probably not a conversation this movie needs.

But plenty of conversations are mostly good-natured insults. And plenty of scenes are more action than talking. These movies know what they are and by this point are pretty good at delivering exactly the fuel-injected entertainment you’re looking for. BRated PG-13 for prolonged sequences of violence and destruction, action and mayhem, suggestive content and language.

Directed by F. Gary Gray with a screenplay

by Chris Morgan, The Fate of the Furious is distributed by Universal Pictures and is two hours and 16 minutes long.

Cello and drums duo Lung returns to Shaskeen

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

It’ll be an evening of duos and the live debut of a promising local band at Manchester’s Shaskeen Pub on April 21, a Friday night show starring When Particles Collide, a guitar-and-drums pop rock effort that’s also a love story — its members Sasha Alcott and Chris Viner married three years after the band formed.

Opening is Donaher, a Manchester quartet that recently released its first single, “Heather,” a buoyant confection with a Fountains of Wayne and Weezer vibe; it’s part of a forthcoming album produced by Gary Cioffi. The group is led by comic and erstwhile rocker Nick Lavallee and troubadour Tristan Omand.

Featuring on the three-act bill is Lung, the Cincinnati-based team of cellist Kate Wakefield and drummer Daisy Caplan.

Electric Light Orchestra long ago validated the cello as a rock and roll instrument, but Lung takes it to an even heavier place on its first album, Bottom of the Barrel.

Songs like the edgy title track and the pulsing “Hypochondriac” offer an earthquake’s worth of low end, with a Europop sheen.

In a recent interview, Wakefield recalled that her instrument choice was born from curiosity and necessity.

“I can’t really play guitar and I like rock music,” she said. “I started writing music for cello and voice and started wonderWhen Particles Collide, Lung and Donaher Where: Shaskeen Pub, 909 Elm St., Manchester When: Friday, April 21, 9 p.m.

ing what it would sound like if I used an electric one and plugged it into distortion pedals and a bass amp. ... I think cello is definitely a rockin’ instrument, and of course, there are rock and roll cello groups like Rasputina.”

Lung formed when the two were between projects, Wakefield’s solo work on hold and Caplan done with Babe Rage, an industrial progressive band he formed when the highly successful glam rock group Foxy Shazam went on hiatus. Both were enduring a particularly trying winter when they met to write together.

“I guess that brings good music collaborations,” Caplan said.

They released Bottom of the Barrel last fall; a tour in support of the record included an initial show at the Shaskeen.

“That was mostly because they would have us,” Caplan said with a laugh.

“And because they are awesome,” added Wakefield. “The bands we played with were awesome, too. It’s a cool club.”

began on St. Patrick’s Day in Louisville, across the river from their hometown, and continued south — the interview happened via phone when they were in Charlotte, North Carolina — then up into the Rust Belt, 44 shows in all, with barely a break.

“I know some people who don’t do work every day and take days off,” Wakefield said, “and our job is way more awesome than theirs.”

Caplan agreed.

“Yeah, it’s pretty fun,” he said. “Every place that we go has a very different feel; you get high off that energy and go forward to the next spot.”

Favorite shows on the current run included a couple in Florida.

“A pizza place in Cape Coral, with a rapper and a bunch of metal bands,” Caplan said. “I really dug a show in Miami that was about this woman’s art; she’s also a musician. All her art was on the walls and she played really beautiful acoustic folk music as well. That was pretty sweet.”

A while back, the two performed at a satanic temple.

“Daisy is good friends with someone who is a mover and a shaker in that community,” Wakefield said. “The show was like a celebration of the changing of the seasons.”

“That was one of the most memorable shows, I think,” Caplan said. “There were a lot of naked people covered in blood.”

Wakefield has resumed work on her solo record, nearly three years in the making and due for summer release.

“Acoustic cello and voices that I loop; lots of live harmonies and layering,” she said. “It informed this project because before I started working on it, I had no idea of how to write for cello and voice. … Playing cello and singing at the same time is more difficult than I had anticipated.”

The idea for Record Store Day — happening Saturday, April 22 — was hatched by Chris Brown in 2007. It was a beleaguered time for independent stores like Bull Moose Music, where he worked. “There was a fair amount of negativity,” he said.

“I thought, what we should do is have our own holiday.” So Brown and RSD co-founder Michael Kurtz recruited over 600 stores to the cause. The effort has grown steadily ever since.

Record Store Day offers exclusive releases in limited supply from a wide range of artists.

Occasionally, live acts perform, though the closest official show is hard rockers Fifth Freedom at Bull Moose’s Waterville, Maine headquarters.

There is, however, more than an ample supply of vinyl records – and that’s the point. Since RSD’s advent 10 years ago, demand for music in the oldschool format has spiked. Turntable companies like Crosley and Boston’s U-Turn are doing great business and artists consider a release on vinyl a badge of honor.

Participating stores in New Hampshire include Concord’s Pitchfork Records, Newbury Comics (with four New Hampshire outlets), Manchester’s Music Connection and Metro City Records, Odyssey & Oracle (Portsmouth), Toadstool Bookshop (Peterborough) and the store where it all began, Bull Moose (Portsmouth, Salem and Keene).

RSD releases include a Run The Jewels tote bag for carrying things like Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit’s Welcome to 1979 - a live covers direct-tolacquer EP done for Record Store Day, Townes Van Zandt’s Live at Austin City Limits session from 1976 and Hammersmith Odeon London ’75 - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s first concert outside the US. Like A Drunk In A Midnight Choir - Record Store Day Celebrates the Music of Leonard Cohen is a brilliant tribute album curated by Fingerprints Records owner Rand Foster.

Notable store-owned label releases include Permanent Records’ Frankie and The Witch Fingers’ Sidewalk on 12” vinyl; a moe. Live album, a reissue of Peter Tosh’s Legalize It!, (with scratch & sniff inner-sleeve), author Ken Kesey’s The Acid Test on Jackpot Records; releases from acclaimed ‘90s bands The Veldt and Bettie Serveert on Schoolkids Records; Crooked Beat’s Recutting The Crap, Vol 1, a collector’s delight of various artists’ versions of songs from The Clash.

Check the full list of releases and participating stores at recordstoreday.com.

• CHERYL WHEELER at Peterborough Players Theater (55 Hadley Road, Peterborough Deb@pfmsconcerts.org) on Saturday, April 29, 8 p.m. $25 - Poet-Cheryl writes achingly honest songs of love and loss.

• PENNY & SPARROW W/ LOWLAND HUM at 3S Artspace (319 Vaughan St., Portsmouth 3sarts.org) on Saturday, April 29, 8 p.m. $15 - With influences that range from The Swell Season to Iron & Wine to Stephen Sondheim, Penny & Sparrow create music that is equally as intimate and poignant as it is powerful and earnest.

• MARY GAUTHIER at Red & Shorty’s (4 Paul St., Dover 767-3305) on Wednesday, May 3, 8 p.m. $40 – Acclaimed singer/songwriter Gauther’s songs are about as idiosyncratic as anything in the wide world of “popular music.”

• CON TUTTI WORLD MUSIC CHORUS at South Church (292 State St., Portsmouth 451-9346) on Saturday, May. 6, 7:30 p.m. $12 – Singin’ Up a Storm of songs... from hard-hitting Gospel , to upbeat South African....from a fun rainforest chant of the Baka people to a terrific Pentatonix a capella hit. Of course James Taylor shows up with “Shower the People” and ending with a very fun reggae version of “I Can See Clearly Now”.

• MUSIC IN MY POCKET at Deerfield Community Church (15 Church St., Deerfield 4637076) on Sunday, May. 7, 2 p.m. Free - Singing games, accessible “pocket instruments”

like spoons and dancing puppets, tall tales, funny songs, old songs and songs kids teach each other in the playground — all “traditional” in that they have been passed down the generations by word of mouth — will be seen, heard and learned in this program led by Jeff Warner.

• SLAID CLEAVES at Bass Hall (19 Grove St., Peterborough Deb@pfmsconcerts.org) on Friday, May 12, 8 p.m. $30 Slaid Cleaves spins stories with a novelist’s eye and a poet’s heart. Twenty years into his career, the celebrated songwriter’s Still Fighting the War spotlights an artist in peak form.

• RAGTIME JACK RADCLIFFE at Rogers Memorial Library (194 Derry Road (Route 102), Hudson 866-6030) on Saturday, May 13, 2 p.m.

Free - Old-time Music Hall of Fame Inductee, Ragtime, Country Blues, Jazz. DCU Free Concert Series on the second Saturday of each month

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) … while I listened to the robin, it seemed singular to know that all the sounds ever uttered, ever born, were floating in the air now — all music, every tone, every bird-song — and we, alas! could not hear them. You might benefit from better acoustics.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) The temptation was greater than I could stand, and taking my book I shut up the “study,” as the students called my small apartment, leaving it for one bounded by no walls or ceiling. Time for a study break.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) Yes, my invention had proved a grand success. I had worked and worked in order to give this instrument to the world; but now when it was finished, strange to say, all my ambition, all my desire for fame left me, and I was anxious only to guard it from discovery…. An undefinable delight filled my soul that I alone out of all humanity possessed this treasure…. Sharing is hard but worth it.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) All night I listened…. I heard the polished, well-studied compliments, the rustle of silks, and the quick music of the dance at some banquet.

Just listen.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Over and over in the restless hours of the night, I asked myself, I said aloud, Why not? Then I laughed at my folly, and wondered what I was thinking of and tried to sleep — but if it could be done?

A positive attitude will get things done.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) I went down to London and purchased a common eartrumpet. A common item purchased could prove very useful.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) I had thought so little about my personal appearance lately that I had utterly neglected my hair, and I wondered that it had given me no annoyance. Tend to what has been neglected.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) I found the door securely fastened, and walked round and round without discovering any way of entrance; but I made up my mind, if it were possible to get inside … I would do it, and without the help of keys. Don’t give up at the first closed door.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Here was my place. Above the tree-tops, in the free open air, with no obstacle to obstruct the wind, I could work unmolested by people or noise. ... An hour ago I had been tired, disappointed, and depressed; but now, buoyant with hope, I was ready to begin work again — work that I was determined to accomplish. If you get discouraged, try working outdoors.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Then suddenly I determined to try the opera once more; perhaps I was prejudiced: I had not been inside of a concert-room for more than a year. Some things are worth trying again.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Ah! they dreamed not of the wonders I could relate.

You have no idea. Or they have no idea.

Somebody’s unaware, is the point.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) Hour after hour I sat, looking out of my narrow window. The fields of barley and waving oats had been reaped, the wheat too had ripened and gone, but I did not notice. I sprang up with a joyful exclamation — Strange never to have thought of it before!

Perhaps I had not spent my time in vain after all. Perhaps not.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Try, try again

NH’s Best Biker Shop Featuring

US Made

Samuel West announced in April that his Museum of Failure will open in Helsingborg, Sweden, in June, to commemorate innovation missteps that might serve as inspiration for future successes.

Among the initial exhibits: coffee-infused Coca-Cola; the Bic “For Her” pen (because women’s handwriting needs are surely unique); the Twitter Peek (a 2009 device that does nothing except send and receive tweets and with a screen only 25 characters wide); and Harley-Davidson’s 1990s line of colognes (in retrospect as appealing, said West, as “oil and gas fumes”). (West’s is only the latest attempt to immortalize failure with a “museum.”

Previous attempts, such as those in 2007 and 2014, apparently failed.)

• Toronto, Ontario, Superior Court Justice Alex Pazaratz finally ridded his docket of the maddening, freeloading couple that had quibbled incessantly about each other’s “harassments.” Neither Noora Abdulaali, 32, nor her now-ex-husband, Kadhim Salih, 43, had worked a day in the five years since they immigrated from Iraq, having almost immediately gone on disability benefits and begun exploiting Legal Aid Toronto in their many attempts to one-up each other with restraining orders. Approving the couple’s settlement in March, Judge Pazaratz added, “The next time anyone at Legal Aid Ontario tells you they’re short of money, don’t believe it. ... Not if they’re funding cases like this.”

• In May, a new restaurant-disclosure regulation mandated by the Affordable Care Act is scheduled to kick in, requiring eateries (except small chains and independents) to post calorie counts for all menu items including “variations” which a Domino’s Pizza executive said meant, for his company, “34 million” calorie listings. The executive called the regulation, for the pizza industry, “a 20th-century approach to a 21st-century question,” since for many establishments, orders increasingly arrive online or by phone.

(1) Dennis Smith, 65, was arrested in Senoia, Georgia, and charged with stealing dirt from the elderly widow of the man Smith said had given him permission to take it. Smith, a “dirt broker,” had taken more than 180 dump-truck loads.

(2) New for Valentine’s Day from the SayItWithBeef.com company: a bouquet of beef jerky slices, formed to resemble a dozen full-petaled roses ($59). Also available: daisies. Chief selling point: Flowers die quickly, but jerky is forever.

Pretentions

• Hipsters on the Rise: (1) The Columbia Room bar in Washington, D.C., recently introduced the “In Search of Time Past” cocktail splashed with a tincture of old, musty books. Management vacuum-sealed pages with grapeseed oil, then “fat-washed” them with a “neutral high-proof” spirit, and added a vintage sherry, mushroom cordial and eucalyptus. (2) The California reggae rock band Slightly Stoopid recently produced a vinyl record that was “smokable,” according to Billboard magazine using a “super resinous variety of hashish” mastered at the Los Angeles studio Capsule Labs. The first two versions’ sound quality disappointed and were apparently quickly smoked, but a third is in production.

• The telephone “area” code in the tony English city of Bath (01225) is different than that of adjacent Radstock (01761) and probably better explained by landline telephone infrastructure than a legal boundary. However, a Bath councilwoman said in April that she is dealing with complaints by 10 new residents who paid high-end prices for their homes only to find that they came with the 01761 code. Admitted one Bath resident, “I do consider my phone number to be part of my identity.”

Weird science

Magnificent Evolvers: (1) Human populations in Chile’s Atacama desert have apparently developed a tolerance for arsenic 100 times as powerful as the World Health Organization’s maximum safe level (according to recent research by University of Chile scientists). (2) While 80 percent of Ameri-

cans age 45 or older have calcium-cluttered blood veins (atherosclerosis), about 80 percent of Bolivian Tsimane hunter-gatherers in the Amazon have clean veins, according to an April report in The Lancet. (Keys for having “the healthiest hearts in the world”: walk a lot and eat monkey, wild pig and piranha.)

Awesome: (1) University of Basel biologists writing in the journal Science of Nature in March calculated that the global population of spiders consumes at least 400 million tons of prey yearly about as much, by weight, as the total of meat and fish consumed by all humans. (2) University of Utah researchers trained surveillance cameras on dead animals in a local desert to study scavenger behavior and were apparently astonished to witness the disappearances of two bait cows. Over the course of five days, according to the biologists’ recent journal article, two different badgers, working around the clock for days, had dug adjacent holes and completely buried the cows (for storage and/or to keep the carcasses from competitors).

News You Can Use: A study published in the journal Endocrinology in March suggested that “whole-body” vibration may be just as effective as regular “exercise.” (The Fine Print: Vibration was shown only to aid “global bone formation,” which is not as useful for some people as weight loss, which was not studied, and the study was conducted on mice. Nonetheless, for a mouse immobile on a vibrating machine, muscles contracted and relaxed multiple times per second. This “Fine Print” will soon be useful when hucksters learn of the study and try to sell gullible humans a “miracle” weight-loss machine.)
