INTOWN CONCORD PRESENTS THE 43RD ANNUAL

Last week Gov. Chris Sununu signed legislation into law that created a framework for the state to address the mental health treatment gap, in which there is more need than there are resources. While this is a good start, most agree that to close that gap, more money will have to be spent. That always muddies the waters.

One of Obamacare’s better features was its requirement that insurance companies pay for mental health and substance problems just as they would pay for physical health problems. This has been a huge benefit to those who were denied coverage previously and has helped states deal with the opioid epidemic. Whatever changes are coming to that law, they shouldn’t include changing those rules.

Of course, this was a change made in 2014, and the mental health infrastructure hasn’t caught up.

It’s almost always cheaper to treat mental illness and substance abuse before jobs are lost, laws are broken and people hurt themselves.

For far too long we looked at these illnesses as the fault of the patient. As a result we treated mental illness and substance abuse with prison sentences and homelessness and still do.

In fairness to our efforts, it’s a tough problem.

Not everyone seeks treatment. Not everyone realizes they are ill. It’s hard and usually unconstitutional to force someone into treatment.

This is a problem that isn’t going away, and it’s good to see our governor and legislature trying to deal with it.

If some Democrats in the state Senate join most of the Republicans, New Hampshire will get both keno and a funding source for Sununu’s expanded kindergarten. And Sununu would owe the Democrats a huge thank you.

The Republican-led legislature couldn’t find $18 million a year to expand kindergarten in some of New Hampshire’s poorer towns and cities. It seems that that was a bridge too far in the expansion of state government. The compromise to bring on some additional Republican votes: bring in keno, a bingo-like gambling game, and have it pay for the expansion.

While it seemed like the $18 million needed to pay for expanded kindergarten in some communities was a doable budget item without the added revenue, adding keno to the state’s lottery system is a pretty minor change.

We already have scratch tickets, and just across the line in Massachusetts they have keno.

While one can see the temptation for Democrats of just sticking the Republicans with this whole mess, this compromise may be the one chance to get more kids access to kindergarten. Legislating is never pretty.

NEWS & NOTES New laws

Gov. Chris Sununu signed in more than three dozen bills over the past week, most of them on a single day. On June 14, he signed a bill that seeks to address both the mental health system and the child protection system, according to a press release. The law orders the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a 10-year plan to expand the state’s mental health services, extends the life of the commission to review child abuse fatalities to June 30, 2018, and alters the child protection assessment process by adding a new report category called “unfounded but with reasonable concern.”

On June 16, Sununu signed 38 bills into law, according to a press release. Perhaps the most notable bill enabled the creation of needle exchanges in the state, which public health officials say helps reduce the risk of diseases like HIV and hepatitis C from shared needles among drug addicts. Other bills included an expansion of conditions for therapeutic cannabis to include chronic pain, a new kind of wine store run by a licensed wine manufacturer, the repeal of mandatory vaccinations for noncommunicable diseases and a bill allowing brew pub licensees to make alcoholic cider.

State budget

Negotiators from the House and Senate arrived at a budget compromise that would further cut the money spent in the next biennium. In a statement from Senate Republicans, the deal was praised for increasing funding toward fighting the opioid crisis, expanding mental health care access and raising the Rainy Day Fund to $100 million. NHPR reported the budget deal amounts to $11.7 billion in spending, which is down from the $11.8 billion plan passed by the Senate and the $11.9 billion plan that failed to pass the House. Democrats criticized the plan, according to the story, but Republican leaders say they’re confident the budget will pass the full House, where conservative and libertarian-minded Republicans joined Democrats in killing the House budget in April.

Sanborn for Congress

State Sen. Andy Sanborn of Bedford announced in a press release his plans to run for U.S. Congress in the state’s 1st Congressional District. In the release, Sanborn branded himself a “reluctant politician” and in an announcement video titled “Call Me Andy” the small business owner emphasized his workingclass roots. If elected, he wants to work toward cutting taxes for everyone, auditing the fed, balancing the budget and fighting to preserve individual liberties.

He also supports term limits for elected officials and eliminating special health care for members of Congress.

Organ donors

An increase in organ donations is being driven by overdose victims, WMUR reported.

According to New England Donor Services, 92 donors died of a drug overdose in 2016. The percentage of donors who were overdose victims increased from 4 percent to 27 percent over five years. About 30 percent of donations come from overdose victims in New Hampshire currently.

Dartmouth CEO

Dr. Joanne Mather Conroy has been selected to replace Dr. James Weinstein as CEO and president of Dartmouth-Hitchcock and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health by June 30. Conroy’s appointment was approved by a unanimous board vote on June 14. She is currently the CEO of Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts.

Conroy also held leadership positions at Medical University of South Carolina College of Medicine, Atlantic Health System and the Association of American Medical Colleges. She graduated from Dartmouth College in 1977.

Supreme Court pick

Gov. Chris Sununu has selected Bobbie Hantz to fill a New Hampshire Supreme Court seat that will be vacated by Justice Carol Ann Conboy. NHPR reported that the selection goes against recent precedent because Hantz served on the governor’s judicial selection commission up until

the day she applied for the job on April 4. Under the Shaheen, Lynch and Hassan administrations, commission members were required to wait a year after their tenure on the commission before seeking judicial appointments, according to the story.

Scores of Great Danes were rescued from a “suspected puppy mill” in Wolfeboro where officials say the dogs were kept in “abhorrent” conditions. The Concord Monitor reported that the 84 dogs were taken and placed in a temporary emergency shelter.

Water bill

A bill designed to create stricter water quality requirements failed in the House. NHPR reported the bill would have directed the state Department of Environmental Services to conduct its own review to establish a standard for perfluorochemical contamination. Currently, DES is using a standard established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. According to the story, some Republicans were concerned that tighter standards would mean towns would be on the hook for more expensive water treatment upgrades.

Deactivating drugs

New product allows for safe disposal of prescriptions

Four out of five people who end up using heroin or fentanyl got their start with prescription opioids, some of which were prescribed to friends and family, according to Travis Harker, the chief medical officer at Granite Health.

“Most of the time, people put them in their medicine cabinet for a rainy day and we know that that’s where a lot of people get their start,” Harker said.

That’s why surgery patients at five hospitals in the Granite Health partnership will receive a Deterra deactivation pouch, which renders 99 percent of any leftover drugs useless.

John Mulcahy is the vice president of sales at Verde Technologies, the company that developed the Deterra deactivation pouch.

He said it’s only been on the market for a few years, but it’s unique.

The company developed a special patented form of activated carbon that has just the right size pores to ensure it bonds chemically with any organic compounds in prescription medications. The process, called adsorption, essentially turns the drugs into carbon and short-circuits any potency the drug once had.

“Once that bond is made that drug will not induce any kind of reaction,” Mulcahy said.

Using the pouch is simple. You simply place unused pills, patches or liquids into the pouch, fill it up halfway with warm water, seal it and gently shake the bag before throwing it in the regular trash.

The Zero Left Campaign

The current effort to introduce the pouches in New Hampshire has been championed by Jim and Jeanne Moser of East Kingston. They founded the Zero Left Campaign after their son Adam died of a fentanyl overdose in 2015.

“He was engaging, intelligent, kind, thoughtful, funny,” Jim Moser said.

Moser said Adam kept his addiction a secret but it seems clear it started with pills. Moser, a surgical technician who has had several surgeries himself, said they never gave leftover opioids the fear and respect they deserved.

“We kept them in the kitchen spin-around … just right next to the vitamins and Tylenol and cake-decorating supplies,” Moser said.

In retrospect, he wonders how he could be so careless, but there was a lack of education on the risks of prescription opioids, even among medical providers.

Moser learned about Deterra pouches from a news article and began his quest to get the pouches to New Hampshire by working with Dr. Thomas McGovern at Exeter Hospital, who was already distributing the pouches to his own patients. Over the course of two months, McGovern recorded 1,150 pills disposed of through these bags. And that’s just what patients self-reported.

Moser points out that opioids are a necessary painkiller for many post-surgical rehab scenarios; two weeks after his son died, Moser had to get a knee replacement, which required opioids to manage the pain.

“It’s just that when they do go home, they need to go home with respect, regard and a way to dispose of them safely,” he said.

Pilot program

Recently, Granite Health received a $75,000 grant from Tufts Health Freedom Plan and Northeast Delta Dental that will be used for three initiatives. Granite Health will offer provider education on the new prescribing rules in the state and the difference between chronic pain and acute pain. Three of the member hospitals — Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, LRGHealthcare in Laconia and Wentworth-Douglass in Dover — will install drug take-back boxes. And all five member facilities, which will include Exeter Health Resources and Southern New Hampshire Health, will distribute 15,000 deactivation pouches to surgery patients who get an opioid prescription.

Harker said the plan was to essentially scale up the model spearheaded by McGovern at Exeter Hospital. He said the focus on surgery patients is because everyone responds differently to the same operation or the same drug. Some require a lot of pills, others only a few. It’s that variability that often leads to a significant amount of leftovers.

Part of the challenge will be to gather more information so providers can size their prescriptions more appropriately. Another goal is to make sure providers are educating their patients on the risks of prescription opioids.

Harker said the pouches serve as a helpful educational prop.

“It’s more than just giving them a packet or a pouch to put their medications in; it’s a way to facilitate a conversation about the risks of keeping unused opioids in your home. ... That is kind of the magic in this,” he said.

Finalists chosen in Manchester flag contest

The Queen City is closer to getting a new official flag. On June 10 at Manchester City Hall, judges selected three flag designs out of the 288 entries in the Manchester Waves Flag Contest. The three finalists will appear on the city’s November election ballot.

According to a press release from the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce,

Finalist Flag 1 was designed by Megan Roy of Manchester. It contains the same yellow and blue as the state flag and a crown to represent the city’s nickname: the Queen City.

Finalist Flag 2 was designed by Peter Raiche of Manchester. It has a winding blue line that represents the Merrimack River, a red border that represents the mill buildings and a crown at the center.

Finalist Flag 3 was designed by Brian Gallagher of North Bethesda, Maryland. The

white lines represent the Amoskeag Falls and the letter ‘M’ for Manchester. The green represents the city’s green space, and the blue represents the waters of the Merrimack River.

Judges were Donna Gamache from the Chamber of Commerce; Karen Mayeu, head of graphic design at the New Hampshire Institute of Art; John Clayton, executive director of the Manchester Historic Association; Daniel Berube, chair of the Manchester Arts Commission, and a few elected officials.

New Hampshire’s timber rattlesnakes are endangered, but that’s not a good thing, biologists say. Despite the venomous snakes’ stigma, they’re more likely to help people than harm them, by interfering with the process through which Lyme disease is spread.

Why they’re endangered

Here in the northern edge of the muchmaligned timber rattlesnake’s range, the creature is slow and docile and spends eight months of the year hibernating, according to New Hampshire Fish and Game biologist Mike Marchand.

“Most of the rattlesnake bites involve either people intentionally trying to kill them or really messing with them,” Marchand said.

But they are venomous. So for hundreds of years the Crotalus horridus has been unwelcome in the domain of man. Marchand said snakes are generally already one of America’s’ top fears, but rattlesnakes are even scarier to most people.

Marchand was hesitant to downplay the dangers of a timber rattlesnake bite, but he did say modern medicine can generally prevent death given the chance to intervene in time.

“There’s thousands of snake bites in the United States every year of all venomous species and typically, less than five end up being fatalities, and those don’t generally involve timber rattlesnakes,” Marchand said.

Still, Marchand said, people have historically targeted the rattlesnakes for persecution.

They were easy to kill because timber rattlesnakes gather to hibernate collectively at particular den sites. In the past, humans have been known to target those sites and smoke the snakes out or stab them individually while they rest.

“Rattlesnakes have been declining for a long time in the Northeast and especially in New England,” Marchand said.

After years of persecution and development around their habitat, there is now only one known population of timber rattlesnakes left in the state. Its location is a closely kept secret to protect the animals from further persecution, though Marchand says it’s south of the White Mountains.

Timber rattlesnakes were extirpated from Maine and Rhode Island; there are a few populations in Massachusetts, and Vermont has two populations, Marchand said.

But these snakes already have a hard time making a living without humans getting in the way. Marchand said they don’t begin reproducing until the females are between 6 and 8 years old, and then they only reproduce about

every three years because of the time it takes to recover.

“If you have a population of 30 animals then you may only have two or three or four females who are giving birth, or zero, within a given year,” Marchand said.

They’re so slow moving that crossing a busy road is almost certain to be fatal, and since the state only has one population left, it’s more vulnerable to diseases due to a lack of genetic variability.

A study in the early 2000s found that heavy rainfall during a critical time usually used by the snakes to bask and recover body heat after hibernating caused a condition called snake fungal disease. Those snakes who couldn’t shed their fungal lesions before re-entering hibernation didn’t survive.

Why we want them around

Marchand said snakes are useful at eating all manner of garden pests and small rodents and don’t carry diseases themselves. But a critical way these snakes can help humans is by eating one of the key species in the blacklegged tick lifecycle — white-footed mice.

“That’s been a pretty popular selling point that I’ve seen thrown out there in the last six months or so,” Marchand said.

A recent university study found that timber rattlesnakes released on a population of white-footed mice resulted in the elimination of 2,500 to 4,500 ticks.

Ticks feed on the mice during their nymphal stage and the mice are known to carry the bacterium that causes Lyme disease and other pathogens harmful to humans.

Marchand said other animals are helpful at eating mice too, but the more snakes we have, the better.

“Rattlesnakes are part of that puzzle picture. They’re also helping to keep those rodent numbers down,” Marchand said.

Patriot games

Local woman earns spot on Pats cheer squad Sarah Masry, 20, of Manchester will be cheerleading for the New England Patriots during the team’s 2017 season.

Where did you grow up?

What’s your career I grew up in Manchester. I’ve aspiration after this? lived here my entire life. I went Since my majors to all the public schools in Manare in dance and psychester. I went to Manchester Central High chology, I’m thinking School. I danced in the Manchester area at of going more into Dance Visions Network under Heidi Sulthe psychology field, livan Laroche. She was also a Patriots possibly clinical psyMasry. cheerleader in the past, which was great to Sarah chology. But I love Photo by Robert Hare. train with her for many years. … She was teaching dance classes so inspiring and she was one of my biggest so I still want to do that once I graduate. inspirations when I was growing up. I’ve always wanted to audition for the Patriots, What’s the strangest thing about profesfor years, so the fact that I got to and that I’m sional cheerleading? now on the team is just unbelievable.

I wouldn’t say there’s really any strange parts, but I think that one of the things that How far back does your cheerleading people don’t realize about the cheerleaders is experience go? that we put so much time and effort into what I have never cheerleaded before. But I we do. It’s our entire life. It’s everything to us have always danced. I’ve danced since I was and it means so much to us and we wouldn’t 3. trade it for the world.

What kinds of things does a cheerleader put on a resume for a pro gig like this?

I included all of my dance training that I had throughout all the years that I’ve been at my studio. I go to Dean College right now in Franklin, Massachusetts. I’m going to be a senior this year. … And I’m a double major in dance and psychology. So I’m still dancing. … I’ve definitely been training for a while.

Is this the first time you had the chance to work at the NFL level?

Yes. I’ve never tried out for the team before, either, so this opportunity is just so great. It’s so rewarding and I’m so grateful.

When do you start practicing for the season, or have you already?

We have already started practicing for the season. I believe that it was in April that we started. … We practice twice a week.

What kinds of routines do you go through in practice?

We go through all of our dance routines and our cheers. … They consist of mostly jazzstyle dances and a combination of cheer style, as well. … [Jazz-style dance] is mostly to more upbeat music, stuff that would get a crowd going at a game. … There’s a lot of kicks, there’s a lot of turns, there’s a lot of leaps.

You’d see a lot of arms because we dance with poms. … A lot of the girls on the team do “tumble.” I personally do not. I used to take gymnastics as a kid so I’m familiar with a lot of that technique but I myself do not tumble. …

Tumbling is more like flips and stuff like that.

What were the tryouts like?

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Cyanobacteria warnings

The state Department of Environmental Services has issued a cyanobacteria warning for Silver Lake in Hollis and Goose Pond in Canaan, according to press releases. Samples taken from the water bodies found that cyanobacteria blooms had exceeded the state safety threshold of 70,000 cells. The species of cyanobacteria was Anabaena sp. in both locations. Residents are advised to avoid contact with the water as exposure to the blue-green algae can cause acute and chronic health effects including neurological disorders.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Officials will test each water body weekly until cyanobacteria levels return to normal.

Gas prices dropping

New Chapter

The average retail gas prices in New Hampshire went down by 3.9 cents per gallon over the past week, according to GasBuddy.com.

Prices averaged $2.23 per gallon by June 18, slightly lower than the national average of $2.28. State average prices are lower than a month ago and a year ago. But prices are expected to rise again as hurricane season approaches.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: GasBuddy analysts say U.S. oil production is lowering prices despite efforts by OPEC to keep supply low and raise global prices.

SAT scores up

According to an NHPR report, preliminary data released last week shows New Hampshire high school juniors improved scores in both math and English College Board SAT portions, with two thirds meeting the state’s proficiency benchmark in English, 44 percent meeting the benchmark in math. It’s the second year the SAT has been used as the statewide assessment for 11th-graders, in which students take the college entrance exam during the school day and send scores to up to four colleges — for free.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: QOL still has nightmares about the SAT and is so glad to see so many juniors have learned to tackle the beast head-on.

Here’s QOL’s perception of the 2016-2017 ski season as it was happening: It’s already over. Just kidding, not over! OK, now it’s really over. Nope, here comes another blizzard! Between horrendous snowstorms and weird winter heat waves, there were some uncertain times for skiers this winter, but according to data from Ski NH — which represents 34 alpine and cross-country ski areas in the Granite State — total paid alpine, cross-country skiing, snowboarding and tubing visits reached 2.36 million, a 33-percent increase from the 2015-2016 season, according to the Concord Monitor. The group announced the figures at its annual conference in North Conway mid-June.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: While this is a huge improvement from the 2015-2016 season, the figure is about 11 percent lower than the 2014-2015 season’s 2.57 million visits, which was the fourth-highest figure Ski NH ever reported.

I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention, but newbie Chris Sale is having a weird season. Most of his losses have come in games when he’s got great numbers, then in his wins the stat geek numbers are inferior.

This brings to front and center the issue of what’s more important in judging a pitcher — good to great numbers, or the traditional “W,” something under assault by the stat geeks I love to hate so much, since 13-12 Felix Hernandez became king by winning the Cy Young Award in 2010 because all the new age numbers lined up just the way the pocket-protector black-tape-on-their-glasses crowd loves. Something that I think goes to the heart of how I feel about them. They don’t have clue as to what matters most.

It’s not that I haven’t considered their numbers. I just reject them as the most relevant way of evaluating a pitcher. That’s all.

I know baseball is a team game, where hitters play a role in winning, like when the Sox scored 11, 13 and 17 runs in three of Sale’s wins. But I also know the relay race way pitching staffs are now managed often takes games out of the hands of someone pitching really well for an unknown factor coming from the bullpen. Which I don’t care for, even with the Sox bullpen being a major plus so far. Mainly because it turns pitchers into micromanaged automatons, and away from using guile and grit to get out of jams to earn a win.

Winning’s art and the geek numbers have no way of tallying that. Like Luis Tiant’s 150-pitch-plus win in Game 4 of the 1975 World Series. He didn’t really have it that day and his nine-hit, four-walk WHIP would’ve sent shivers down the spine of the geeks. But he artfully held off baseball’s best lineup for an important complete-game 5-4 win over Cincy. I like when the man-

Anytime.

Anywhere.

Any day...

And who remembers the guy who gave up just two runs and five hits in his World Series complete game on Oct. 8, 1956?

Few know it was Sal (the barber) Maglie.

Why? Because the other guy that day was Don Larsen, who pitched better in throwing the only perfect game in Series history.

Which brings me to a real number to evaluate pitcher effectiveness: what percentage of the time does a pitcher give up the lead run in a tie game. I call that the “Crack Factor.” I came on it after hearing how Josh Beckett was pitching in bad luck during 2011. With a 2.87 ERA and winning 13 against 7 losses he did pitch well. But four or five times that year, he coughed up late leads. You can blame the hitters, but I think it was on Beckett for cracking first when the game was there to be won.

To me, great pitchers, as opposed to 13-12 pitchers with great numbers, don’t crack at the end of games regardless of whether the score is 1-1 or 7-5 as it was for not-quiteon-his-game Bob Gibson in Game 7 of the ’64 Series. They’re like when tennis great Chris Evert just kept sending everything back over the net with her machine-like consistency until her opponent cracked first with an unforced error. There are no 13-win Cy Young winners in tennis because at the end of the day you only move on if you win — and in her prime Evert almost always did.

Now, I’m not saying runs don’t help.

Like they have for Sale with the Sox averaging 7.9 in his 8 wins when the ERA is a much less stellar 3.96 ERA. So the question is which do you like better — the 1.36 ERA Sale when team is 2-4, or the 3.96 Sale when the Sox are 8-0?

The stat geeks reward the former as they did in 2010. While I say who cares what the numbers are, I want the wins.

ager puts faith in a starter who’s earned it.

Sometimes that works, and sometimes it backfires, as it did in last week’s 1-0 loss to Philly when John Farrell let Sale pitch in the ninth of a scoreless game. Secondguessers have a field day with that, but not me.

That made Sale an odd 8-3 where he’s given up only five runs in those losses for an ERA of 1.90 and just two earned runs in 22 innings (0.81 ERA) in three no-decisions. That’s an overall 1.36, but the team was 2-4. Many say the hitters let him down.

But that’s so disrespectful to the other pitchers who were even better than Sale in those games. Pitchers don’t just compete against hitters, but also against the other pitcher, who may be bringing his A game as well, like in the games below.

In Game 4 of the 1947 World Series, it took four Dodgers pitchers to hang with Yankees hurler Bill Bevens while he was pitching a no-hitter, before losing it and the game when Cookie Lavagetto’s two-out pinch-hit walk-off double knocked in the game-winning runs.

Lew Burdette beat Pittsburgh’s Harvey Haddix as old Harvey was pitching 12 perfect innings one day in 1959, before finally cracking in the 13th inning to lose 1-0 when Burdette finished off his shutout.

In 1965 the Reds’ Jim Maloney no-hit the Mets for 11 innings while striking out 18, but still lost to aging Frank Larry and journeyman Larry Bearnarth 1-0.

And there’s my all-time favorite pitching duel on July 2, 1963, when Famers Juan Marichal and then 42-year-old Warren Spahn were still in a game tied 0-0 when Willie Mays led off the 16th inning with a home run for a 1-0 Giants win. Did Spahn deserve a loss? Deserve, maybe not. But he earned one because he cracked first, while Marichal shut down a lineup with four future Hall of Famers for all 16.

How only one run is scored with eight Famers (Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey, Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, Joe Torre, Marichal and Spahn, who had the game’s only double) playing is a question for the ages.

Maloney’s “no-hitter” vs. Mets: Jim Maloney mowed down the Mets for 11 innings, striking out 18, before Johnny Lewis led off the 12th with a homer and lost when the Reds couldn’t score in the bottom half. Maloney pitched a second 10-inning no-hitter later in 1965 vs. Chicago that he actually won 1-0.

Harvey Haddix Sorta Perfect Game: With Felix Mantilla and Hank Aaron on via an error and walk, Haddix still hadn’t given up a hit in the 13th. Joe Adcock then hit one out, but was called out after running by Aaron rounding second, making the homer just a double.

And when Mantilla scored, Aaron’s didn’t count either, turning a seemingly 3-0 game into a 1-0 heartbreaking loss for Harvey.

Bill Bevens’ Near No-Hitter in 1947 Series: Pitching line: 8.2 innings, 1 hit, 10 walks, 3 earned runs. The last game ever for hitting hero Cookie Lavagetto and Al Gionfriddo, who scored the tying run, and second to last for loser Bevens.

23 festivals for fans of all kinds of music

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

From songs of the sea to the jams of Jerry Garcia, New Hampshire music festivals offer something for every kind of music lover.

There are about two dozen of those music-centric fests happening between now and September in the mountains, in forests and on farms, on city streets and by the sea. Some feature a variety of music while others target a specific genre; folk, bluegrass, rock, country, blues, reggae, jazz and classical all have festivals of their own.

The smaller festivals provide opportunities to discover talented local and up-and-coming artists that you may not have otherwise heard of. At the larger festivals, like New England Country Music Festival in Portsmouth and the Christian contemporary music festival Soulfest in Gilford, you can see big-name acts in what is often a more relaxed atmosphere than the artists’ regular concerts.

For festival newbies and avid music fans alike, here are some shows that offer a range of musical genres and festival experiences.

You Rock Festival

This is the first year for the new You Rock Festival, hosted by Molly’s Restaurant and Tavern in New Boston. Of course, it wouldn’t be much of a festival without attendees, which is why the organizers decided on the You Rock title.

“We wanted it to be about you,” said Justin Jordan, a festival organizer and a member of the local band enCircle, which will perform at the event. “We want the people to feel a part of this day as much as the ones who built it, so You Rock made sense.”

The festival features seven bands that Jordan said are very active in the local music scene and “probably plays more shows than some of the national bands out there today.”

The music spans a wide range of genres, from folk to ’80s tributes. Aside from its HIPPO | JUNE 22 - 28, 2017 | PAGE 14

“To have these artists in our own backyard where you can get up close and personal is something special,” Amanda Morneault, New England Country Music Festival organizer, said. “There’s a more intimate vibe. The artists can interact more with their fans than they can at the bigger venues.”

Luke Bonner, co-founder of the Rock On Fest in Concord, said that having notable artists on the ticket generates more interest, particularly among young adults, and helps to put New Hampshire on the map as a destination for music festivals. It’s just a matter of getting out-of-state artists to give it a chance.

“We’ve been trying to get more bands to come who haven’t thought of us as a touring destination,” he said. “I think people here have a great appreciation and a level of respect for bands, and they like to discover new bands. We just need to expose more artists to the state and show them that it’s a great place for musicians.”

The relaxed and intimate nature of music fes-

fundraising mission, which is to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the primary goal of the festival was to create a strong, wellcurated lineup, and Jordan believes he and the other organizers have done just that.

“The lineup of bands we have on tap for the day is probably one of the best lineups I’ve seen in the New Hampshire area in quite some time,” he said. “I believe that with this bill of bands, we have crafted a listening experience for all types of music lovers.”

Two To Lou Music Festival

When Karen Jortberg lost fiance Lou Fes-

tivals also lends itself to a more family-friendly environment than the typical concert does.

The majority of New Hampshire’s music festivals describe themselves as family-friendly, and some have activities and even music just for kids.

“We really encourage families to come,” Bruce MacIntyre, board president for the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival, said. “Kids love it. They get it. They want to be part of the music. And what you’ll see is this great community where all the generations can get together.”

A sense of community is one of the things that attracts many people to music festivals in the first place. In this age of social media, MacIntyre said, it’s rejuvenating for people to experience that kind of face-to-face interaction and to share with each other the joy that the music brings.

“Once they walk into a place full of people singing together, they can feel that community.

There’s a spirit to it,” he said. “There’s a connection that’s stronger than what they can experience in the electronic world, and they feel moved.”

to, also a local musician, to cancer in 2012, she and Festo’s friends wanted to create an event in his memory “He was a lead guitar player in bands all his life, so after he passed away, we decided we would hold a music festival and do it as a fundraiser for a scholarship fund,” Jortberg said.

This year’s fest features four headliners, including Festo’s band Preciphist, and eight other local acts playing original rock and covers of classic rock songs.

Now in its fourth year, the festival has been growing through word of mouth to attract attendees beyond those who knew Festo.

“It’s in Sandown, so it is a little off the beaten path, but the word is getting out there,” Jortberg said. “Everyone who comes has a good time, and they return the next year.”

In addition to the music, the festival features food, arts and crafts, a beer tent and hot air balloon rides. Jortberg said people come for the social aspect as much as the live music.

“Everyone comes and enjoys checking out the bands, playing some cornhole, partying and dancing together,” she said.

Soulfest

“Music, Love and Action” — that’s the message behind Soulfest, a three-day Christian contemporary music festival held each year at Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford.

The festival features five stages and a lineup of 25 performers, both local acts as well as big names in the genre, such as TobyMac,

For King & Country, Jars of Clay, Matthew West, Tenth Avenue North and more. A variety of musical styles are represented in the Christian contemporary genre, including rock, folk, singer-songwriter, hip-hop and rap.

“There are a lot of local bands,” Soulfest co-founder Dan Russell said. “If you’re a recording artist and you’re serious about it, we want to give you an opportunity to get out there in front of people and play.”

Russell said the music as well as the various speaker events and activities are focused not just on Christianity but also on community, social justice and taking action to help those in need.

“All the artists have a faith background, and the lyrics are Christian-oriented, but it’s all under the umbrella of becoming active and engaged,” he said. “Our goal isn’t to get everyone to believe like us. It’s to activate our attendees to become more involved in their communities and to encourage them to live from the inside out.”

Now in its 20th year, the festival continues to grow, attracting 12,000 to 13,000 people per day, 65 percent of whom are returning attendees. For many, Russell said, Soulfest has become a yearly tradition and a place to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones.

“It’s a time for everyone to come back together,” he said. “There’s a lot of positive energy, good vibes.”

Barnful of Blues Festival

Now in its 15th year, the Barnful of Blues Festival in New Boston is about giving new life to blues music and restoring interest in the genre, particularly from the younger crowd.

“Blues kind of comes and goes, but since the ’90s it’s been less popular and not as mainstream,” said Roxanne Mann, vice president of the Granite State Blues Society, which hosts the event. “We’d like to keep the blues alive here in New England and are hoping for another big star to bring it back.”

The festival has had some notable acts, such as Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson & The Magic Rockers, and Sugar Ray & The Bluetones, but is focused primarily on giving regional acts a chance to take the stage. All kinds of blues subgenres will be represented.

“Like any genre, blues has different blends. There’s rock-blues, traditional blues, Chicago blues, Zydeco blues, many kinds,” Mann said. “We like to mix it up and pick a wide variety each year.”

The festival is a family-oriented event, and people are encouraged bring their lawn chairs, blankets, coolers or even pop-up tents and stay for the whole day. There is a certain quality about blues music, Mann said, that makes it appealing to people of all ages.

“It’s infectious and familiar,” she said.

“Even though the music is about sorrow, it makes you feel good when you listen to it. It makes you want to get up and dance.”

Each year the New England Country Music Festival brings thousands of people to Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth for a full day of live country music, ranging from the modern to the classic styles.

“It’s a little of everything,” said Amanda Morneault, owner and event manager for The Harbor Agency, which co-hosts the festival with New England Country Music.

“We like to keep it diverse, and we like to be able to cater to everybody, with all country genres.”

The festival features national recording artists like Frankie Ballard, Michael Ray and William Michael Morgan, who have collectively had six No. 1 hits on the country charts, as well as well-known regional artists. Now in its third year, the scope of the festival continues to expand as it attracts

“It’s only going to get bigger,” Morneault said. “It’s definitely an event that’s on people’s radar now.”

The atmosphere of the festival is “very chill, relaxed and low-key,” Morneault said, and people are encouraged to come with their families, bring lawn chairs or blankets and stay for the day. Even if you aren’t a fan of country music, she said, give it a chance, and you may be surprised at how much fun it can be.

“There’s something special about country music,” she said. “The musicians are so down to earth and likeable, and you really get a sense of how much they enjoy what they do and appreciate their fans.”

When brothers Luke and Matt Bonner started the Rock On Fest several years ago, they wanted it to be an event that would get New Hampshirites excited about the state’s live music scene.

“That was the biggest thing throughout all this — bringing a community together and inspiring people,” Luke Bonner said. “We hoped that it would become a source of pride for the state and generate some excitement in the area and beyond.”

The festival features what Bonner calls “emerging” music genres such as alternative, indie and electro pop, which he believes will resonate with a younger audience. Considering the issue of New Hampshire’s aging population, he said, his goal for the festival is to help cultivate a music and arts culture that will aid in drawing a younger popula-

tion to the state.

Another goal of the festival is to encourage the discovery of new bands and artists.

The bands featured will be unknown to most people, Bonner said, but he’s confident that people won’t be disappointed.

“With some concerts, it seems like you have to already know the music to appreciate it,” he said. “With the lineup of bands that we’ve selected, if you’ve never heard of them before, they’ll knock your socks off at the first listen.”

Where: New Hampshire Statehouse lawn, 107 N. Main St., Concord When: Friday, Aug. 11, and Saturday, Aug. 12, starting at noon Cost: Free Website: rockonfoundation.org Festival lineup: Mr. Aaron, Laura Stevenson, Holly Miranda, Photocomfort, Tough Guy

Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival

If sea shanty sing-alongs and nautical tales set to music sound appealing to you, the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival is the festival to go to.

Held every September in Portsmouth, the festival celebrates a subgenre of folk music called maritime or sea music.

“It can be anything related to water,” Bruce MacIntyre, festival board president, said. “A lot of it is work songs, the shanties, that were sung for the purpose of organizing labor on ships. A lot of it is songs the seamen sang in their quarters, ballads of love and lore. It even includes music sung on the rivers and lakes of the U.S., so it comes from a lot of different cultures.”

The festival attracts not only local and amateur musicians, but also professional musicians from all over the country.

“It’s not unusual [for people to travel],” he said. “This is a very niche market, so what happens is, the aficionados go looking for the real festivals and find ours.”

Performances take place downtown on the streets, in pubs and in other locations.

The audience often largely consists of curious passersby who didn’t plan on going to the festival or didn’t even know that it was happening. But for many people, MacIntyre said, once they hear maritime music for the first time and experience the sense of community that it generates, they’re hooked.

“This music is about people who struggled in the world and did hard labor and yet, there’s humor and dignity and pride in it,” he said. “People today can understand that and tap into that. It’s infectious.”

ARTS Play on

Pianos arrive in downtown Manchester

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Every morning at 7 a.m. last summer, passersby at Victory Park were treated to music, courtesy of the painted piano that Intown Manchester placed there in June.

“There was a gentleman who went and played pretty religiously,” said Intown Executive Director Sara Beaudry, who at the time received many calls commenting on the tunes, from park maintenance workers to Victory Parking Garage employees.

“It was really nice.”

Before the Victory Park installation, Beaudry had been keeping her eye on the downtown piano trend; in New Hampshire, Nashua and Littleton had incorporated street pianos to their local landscape, a huge success for both cities, providing beauty through their paint jobs and their music. Beaudry’s a big fan of public art and what it can do for a downtown, and she felt street pianos could cover more bases than, for example, murals.

“The more public art you have, the more it will enhance that city,” Beaudry said via phone. “I think [installing downtown pianos] is a way to add a little culture and creativity to our streets first-hand. Anybody can participate. It’s not like [visual art], where you get to look but you don’t get to participate. You can actually play on these pianos.”

spring of 2016. It was too late to initiate a big project that season, but Beaudry was able to quickly snag a sponsor and local artist to paint a single piano and place it in Victory Park. It would be a test run; if people played, Intown could move forward with more the next summer.

Play they did — and so, this spring, Beaudry collected three more pianos from the company and partnered with New Hampshire Institute of Art staff and students to decorate the instruments.

BFA Illustration Chair Ryan O’Rourke led the charge with his community studio class, which focuses on pairing students

with local organizations and businesses; past collaborations were with Easterseals New Hampshire, Old Sol Music Hall, Opera New Hampshire, New Hampshire Magazine, Red River Theatres. Students also regularly design Intown Manchester’s street banners.

“For me, the hardest thing coming out of school was getting that first job. The whole idea behind these civic projects is, if we can get that taken care of before you graduate, then you already have a client list you’re building. Clients are more willing to work with you if they see you’ve already been working,” O’Rourke said

during an interview at the school as he and two students — illustration majors and recent grads Kaitlyn Dine and Max Gagnon — placed final coats on the three pianos. “Every project has some kind of payment for whoever was chosen to go forward with it.”

Students created six designs, from which Intown chose three to move forward with.

Painting began in April, and the artists have been working hard ever since trying to get them ready for the big reveal at the Manchester Farmers Market June 15.

One piano is rich with references to stories, including The Wizard of Oz, The Little Mermaid, The Borrowers, Aladdin and Where the Wild Things Are. Covering the keys is a yellow brick road, and painted on the sides are stacks of books flying into the air. Another instrument is studded with the kinds of things you might find in a garden: flowers, butterflies, ladybugs, bumblebees, bunnies and gnomes. The last, inspired by Japanese woodblock prints, depicts a crimson fire-breathing dragon.

Intown provided an artist stipend, and Beaudry estimates the instruments will be downtown — by City Hall, Cafe la Reine and the Palace Theatre — until August.

Awnings will help protect the paint jobs, as will tarps that will get thrown over them during rain storms. The hope is to add more each year.

“I think it brings a new character to the city,” Dine said. “And it’s great exposure, not just for us — it shows our engagement with the community as well.”

Introducing One Light Theatre New company in Tilton kicks off this weekend

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Bristol resident Jason Roy wants to create a sanctuary for kids with his new company, One Light Theatre.

“The first place I felt 100 percent welcome to be myself was in the world of the performing arts,” said Roy, co-executive director and artistic director of the company. “It’s important to me I’m able to provide youth with that same feeling, that same security, that I was lucky enough to have.”

The aim of the Tilton-based theater is to provide family-style and cutting-edge productions to the Lakes Region, starting with a musical revue Saturday, June 24, at 7:30 p.m., at Tilton School’s Hamilton Hall. Visitors can meet the cast and creative team, win door prizes and check out solo and group performances by the inaugural summer company, made up of professional Other summer productions Shows are at the Tilton School, and tickets are $22, except for the Schoolhouse Rock (which costs $10) Big Fish Friday, July 30, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, July 1, at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, July 2, at 2 p.m.

The 39 Steps Friday, July 7, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, July 8, at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, July 9, at 2 p.m.; Saturday July 15, at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, July 16, at 2 p.m.

Schoolhouse Rock! Friday, July 14, at 6:30 p.m.

Moon Over Buffalo Friday, July 21, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, July 22, at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, July 23, at 2 p.m.; Friday, July 28, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, July 29, at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, July 30, at 2 p.m.

Next to Normal Friday, Aug. 4, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 5, at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, Aug. 6, at 2 p.m.

artists and community members.

After that, One Light Theatre kicks into high gear with a full season of shows, including Big Fish (June 30-July 2), The 39 Steps (July 7-16), Moon Over Buffalo (July 21 to July 30) and Next to Normal (Aug. 5 to Aug. 7). In addition, it hosts a summer camp that culminates with Schoolhouse Rock! (July 14).

Roy met his partner, co-executive director and program manager David Sheehy, while working on Winnisquam Regional High School’s spring 2016 production, Into the Woods. They were a good team, and through their discussions, they realized they both love theater that tackles tough subjects.

“We realized there aren’t a lot of theater companies in our area doing that,” said Roy, who also felt moved by the Winnisquam kids. “The students inspired me in a way I haven’t been inspired before, and I could see there were many who could benefit from the same kind of guidance and support I was granted as a child. My goal is to be able to provide that to them.”

To gauge local interest in the prospective company, the pair produced a community production of Beauty and the Beast last summer, drawing more than 100 participants, followed by The Wizard of Oz in the fall. Even though both work full-time jobs — Sheehy as a math teacher, Roy for a local nursing home — they saw there was enough passion between them and eagerness for community theater in the Lakes Region to make One Light Theatre work.

“People were definitely intrigued, and once we started announcing the shows of the season, there was a lot of excitement, especially when we announced … Next to Normal, which is not often done … around here. It’s a beautiful piece and won the Pulitzer Prize for drama,” said Ashley Hanson, One Light Theatre’s marketing director, who will also direct Next to Normal. “People are excited to see faces they recognize

on stage as well as professionals they might not be familiar with.”

Auditions for six professional resident artist slots happened this spring and were filled by New Hampshire natives Owen Thomas, Olivia Martinson, Kay Foster, Jack Harding, Heather Hunt and Matthew McGinnis. These paid positions involve performances in most all this season’s shows, sometimes alongside community members depending on the play’s size.

Everything — rehearsals, camps, performances — happens at the Tilton School, which seats 200.

“We knew we wanted to do summer stock theater, and that in order to do that successfully, we’d have to have some sort of a theater and have full access to actors,” Roy said. “We designed a business plan and budget for the summer and set out to meet with five local theaters.”

Tickets: $15 Contact: onelighttheatre.org, 848-7979

Tilton School offered not only space, but the opportunity to use school resources and build partnerships in terms of educational programming. After the last production in August, the plan is to apply for a 501(c)(3) and prep for two more community theater shows this fall and winter.

For all involved, Roy especially, it’s a passion project; some weeks this season will involve 16-hour days, but he’s seeing equal devotion from the Tilton area, with support from volunteers, local donors and businesses.

New Hampshire’s largest free community event is returning for a 43rd year — and it’s bigger than ever.

With Concord’s Main Street Project reaching completion in November, the annual Market Days Festival will take advantage of the new street arrangements with even more attractions than before.

This year’s festival will be held rain or shine Thursday, June 22, through Saturday, June 24. During these dates, Main Street in Concord will be closed off from Centre Street to Pleasant Street just in front the Concord Food Co-Op, giving way to hundreds of local vendors, demonstrations, live music, children’s and family activities.

“Concord definitely takes great pride in the festival … and it’s really great to see because all of the people involved think of ways to be more creative and engaged with the visitors,” said Kate Fleming, events and outreach coordinator for Intown Concord, which organizes the festival every year. “Plus, because of the new Main Street, the sidewalks are so much wider, so there won’t be as much of an overcrowded feeling at the festival.”

When: Thursday, June 22, through Saturday, June 24, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Where: Main Street and Statehouse lawn, Concord Cost: Free admission; $5 wristband for all day access to miniature golf and children’s play area on Statehouse lawn. Some food and activities may require an additional fee.

The festival will focus on its southern section this year, according to Fleming.

“We learned that South Main Street hadn’t really been an area where many people congregated for the festival in the past, so we’ve been doing a lot more promotion down there,” she said.

“So we’ll have live performances there on the park stage, we’ll have outdoor movies shown by Red River Theatres, and this year we’re also going to have an old Concord Coach out on display courtesy of the Abbot-Downing Historical Society.”

In all, nearly 200 vendors will set up shop all within the enclosed area of the festival, Fleming said, offering products, demonstrations and much more.

“What’s neat about it is that we have a lot of vendors who have been here for years, and we also have some that are brand new not

only to the festival, but to the city as well,” she said, “so it’s become such a draw.”

New vendors include Gems First, a custom jewelry design shop offering consultations, and Live Free and Smile, who offer photo booth services. Title Boxing will have a booth and demonstrations on Storrs Street, and members of the Marine Corps will also be there with a dunk tank on Saturday.

For food, enjoy local favorites like Holly’s Fried Dough, Puppy Love Hot Dogs, Arnie’s Place, The Barley House, Constantly Pizza, Wild Bill’s Soda and more.

Along with the returning Toucha-Truck exhibit, this year there will be an experimental airplane from the Concord Municipal Airport and a helicopter from the Pembroke-based JBI Helicopter Services. There will be opportunities to sit inside the airplane and

helicopter and talk with the pilots.

Special one-day events include a demonstration by the Granite State Roller Derby on Thursday at 7 p.m., a classic car show presented by the Lone Wolf Cruisers Car Club on Friday from 6:30 to 9 p.m., and the return of the Strong Man Competition on Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m.

The Runner’s Alley Capital City Classic 10K, happening for its second year, will take place during the festival for the first time, Fleming said. The race will kick off on Saturday at 8 a.m. and travel down Park Street by the Statehouse before going south on Main Street past the vendors.

Also returning to the Statehouse lawn for this year’s festival will be a family fun area from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. all three days with crafts, a bouncy house, a miniature golf course and a children’s play zone.

New Hampshire’s Capital City will once again celebrate its ethnic diversity at the Concord Multicultural Festival, with live performances and international foods, plus, new this year, a flag parade and “Artisan Alley.”

The 11th annual event will be held on Saturday, June 24, from 2 to 6:30 p.m. on the Statehouse Lawn. This is the second year the festival has partnered with Intown Concord’s annual Market Days Festival, held just down the road on Main Street.

Multicultural Festival Director Jessica Livingston said more than 30 different cultures will be represented at the event.

“It’s always a fun thing to showcase everybody’s culture and for the community to gather and get to know one another, and things like food and music are universal,” she said.

The idea to have an outdoor festival stemmed from a 2004 community discussion presented by the Greater Concord Area Task Force Against Racism and Intolerance (now called We Are Concord) as a way to welcome new residents from other countries.

Participating local organizations include New American Africans, the Bhutanese Community of New Hampshire, Latinos Unidos de New Hampshire, the Greater Concord Interfaith Council and many others.

Live music and dance performances will be held throughout the duration of the festival on the Statehouse plaza, Livingston said, and include contra dancing with fiddler Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki, Native American drumming by the Black Thunder Singers, Highland dancing by the New Hampshire School of Scottish Arts, West African drumming by Sayon Camara, Colombian salsa dancing by Concord resident Sindy Chown and a performance

by Nepali singer Berain Rasaily.

Visit the Statehouse lawn during the festival for “Artisan Alley,” a new feature presented by the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts.

There will be hands-on activities like Chinese calligraphy and paper-cutting, Abenaki basket making, Russian wooden nesting dolls and more.

Also on the lawn will be karate demonstrations by the Penacook School of Martial Arts, Native American storytelling and games with the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner and more.

For food, enjoy traditionally made

cuisines from dozens of different world cultures. Go Food Basket in Concord will serve a Korean barbecue with meat dumplings, Jahp-che, Bibimbap and Bulgogi. Aissa Sweets, owned by Syrian baker Ahmad Aissa, will serve baklava, phyllo wraps and date- and raspberryfilled cookies. Other individual vendors will be serving an African cassava beef stew, Rwandan rice, beef and sweet potatoes, and Turkish lentil balls, potato salad and pastries.

New to this year’s festival is an International Flag Parade, which will kick off at 1:45 p.m. at the intersection of Pleasant and Main streets before traveling to the Statehouse.

“We’ll have 37 flags that people will carry representing each of the nations that you will see featured in the festival through the food or performances,” Livingston said. “Obviously Market Days is going to be going on down on Main Street, so we’re hoping this will be another added celebration.”

She said volunteers will continue to be welcomed through the day of the festival to help out with vendor setups and breakdowns, food preparation and other duties.

“There’s always stuff to do, and we’re looking for ways for the community to participate,” she said. “That’s really what [the festival] is all about, is building your community.”

From the beautiful lawn & lush gardens to the fine meats, cheeses, wines, produce and more,the best summer parties start at Grasshoppers!

If I were to be consigned to life on a remote island, what one flower would I bring along with me? That’s a bit like asking you which child is your favorite, or which piece of music you could listen to for all eternity.

There are so many wonderful flowers, but some years ago I pondered the question and selected the peony Festiva Maxima. That’s a double white one with a spot of red in the middle, and a fragrance so alluring, I wrote in a column, that it could make one swoon.

I acknowledged that Festiva Maxima does have a flaw: rain weighs down the blossoms, and sometimes the flowers break their stems — even if in a peony support cage.

But if you were to ask me today, I would say my favorite flower is the Candelabra or Japanese primrose, Primula japonica. I have a patch of them blooming in the shade of three old wild apples in moist, dark soil. I started with just a few plants, but they drop seeds and fill in spaces, overtaking what was once a meager, struggling lawn.

I estimate that right now I have 200 to 250 square feet of primroses in full bloom; in a 3 foot by 3 foot square, I counted about 25 or 30 plants in bloom, so I have more than 500, perhaps even 750. All this in 10 or 15 years, and no work other than a oncea-year weeding of Jewel Weed, which also loves the conditions.

Each plant has a rosette of light green leaves and sends up a flower stalk 12 to 36 inches tall. Flowers ring the stalk in tiers, starting with one tier, and working up to four tiers of blossoms on the oldest plants as the season progresses. At each tier there are a dozen small blossoms — or up to 20 — pointing out like bugles. Each blossom is about an inch across.

The colors vary as they hybridize. My favorites are a deep magenta. At the other end of the spectrum are the whites, though not pure white. Then there are pink, and dark pink ones. All are fabulous. Fragrance? Nothing much. But that would be like expecting a prize poodle to be able to read the newspaper.

The bloom period starts for me in late May and goes through most of June. A month or more with some blossoms. At any given moment a plant might have just one ring of flowers, or up to three. As the flowers fade and die off, some develop a nice light blue.

Before the candelabra primroses bloomed came another nice one, albeit with no common name, Primula kisoana. This one, unlike the other, will grow in either moist or

Primula kisoana. Courtesy photo.

dry shade. It has lovely pink blossoms that pop up just 6 inches above the fuzzy leaves that are so dense that they keep weeds from appearing. The leaves are 5 inches or so wide with a scalloped edge and a light green color.

One of the greatest things about the Primula kisoana is that it spreads by root.

But unlike mint or bee balm, this little beauty does not run over and outcompete other plants. It will politely meet up with the roots of another, and move to the left or right instead of grasping for every inch of soil. Where I have it in dry shade it gets some morning sun, but no afternoon sun.

Another nice plant I have blooming now, and which can act as a ground cover, is bigroot geranium (Geranium macrorrhizum).

To avoid confusion I should explain that the bright red or white geraniums popular in window boxes are not geraniums at all, but are in a genus (scientific grouping) known as Pelargonium. Geranium is a genus of hardy perennials.

The bigroot geranium thrives where other perennials may survive, but few love: dry shade with competition from tree roots.

Maples and locusts are notorious for sucking everything out of the soil, yet I have planted the bigroot geranium under those trees, and had them thrive. Will they grow under hemlocks or pines? No, that’s asking too much.

Bigroot geranium comes in at least three colors: white, pink and dark pink. The leaves are about a foot tall, with the flower stems standing above them at about 20 inches. Their leaves form a dense mass of foliage that most weeds find inhospitable.

I have set up Adirondack chairs near my primroses and spend at least some time there every day. And even though I’ll never have to pick just one flower to grow, these primroses are a real delight to me.

On another note, many readers have been complaining that their tomatoes are yellowleafed and miserable looking. Not to worry.

Tomatoes need sunshine, and early June was, for most of us, rainy and cold. They will recover soon.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Laser Hair Growth

Dear Donna, Can you give me any information on these, which I believe to be ivory napkin rings?

Camille Dear Camille, Your carved Asian ivory napkin rings are not uncommon to find here in the U.S.A., but they were all carved overseas during the early 1900s (I believe in China). So someone in your family brought them into this country, or another family did at one time.

The value is not hard to determine. They usually are in the $20 range for each one.

What is tough today is the market is minimal in the U.S. because in 2016 they passed a law forbidding the purchase or sale of ivory. You can check this out further on the US Fish and Wildlife service website.

It’s not illegal for you to have it in your possession, but you can’t sell it, meaning if you already own it then they sort of grandfather it to you. But for you now to go out into the secondary market to sell it, that is where you will have to know the law. Before you do anything check online for the Fish and Wildlife Service Clubs Garden • HOOKSETT GARDEN CLUB JUNE MEETING Free and open to the public.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Winter to blame for gas mileage plunge Dear Car Talk: I have a 2016 Honda Civic. I was delighted to find that my gas mileage was recording at an impressive 41.4 mpg through the spring and summer months.

By Ray Magliozzi However, come October, at about the time gas stations switched to winter blend, I watched helplessly as my reading quickly fell to 40.3 mpg and stayed there until the warm weather returned.

I am pushing 70 years of age, my driving habits did not change over the winter, and my driving destinations were the same. The car has less than 8,000 miles logged so far, and continues to perform beautifully.

Am I wrong to blame the difference between summer and winter fuel formulations for this sudden drop in mileage? — Donald Yes. You are wrong, Donald.

And, by the way, I’m sure all of our readers getting 14 mpg in their Dodge Durangos are feeling your pain over that temporary plunge to just over 40 mpg.

The blame for your precipitous drop in mileage goes to winter itself. When the air temperature is lower, it takes an engine lon-

ger to reach its operating temperature.

And it’s not until it reaches that operating temperature that it burns its fuel most efficiently.

So more of your driving in the winter is taking place when the engine is running at suboptimal temperature.

For some people, winter mileage also goes down because they take additional short trips they wouldn’t take in warmer weather.

For instance, while you might walk two blocks in the summer to pick up a bottle of brake fluid-flavored Kambucha, when it’s four degrees out, you say, “I’m driving!”

So mileage is like your wardrobe, Donald.

You just accept that you have one for summer, and a different one for winter.

Dear Car Talk: No one seems to be able to figure this out: The steering wheel of my 2002 Ford Escape makes a loud rubbing sound whenever I turn it left or right. This sound only happens whenever I’m driving around on a hot day.

Lately, the sound has gotten worse. My mechanic thinks there are plastic parts that must be expanding when it gets hot.

No one can replicate this rubbing sound if it’s a cool day, so what gives? The mechanic can’t figure it out, and, understandably, he

doesn’t just want to drive it around on a hot day until he hears the noise.

I guess I’ll have to make a direct bee-line to the mechanic as soon as I hear the rubbing sound, provided someone is even around at the time to check it on the spot. — Laura Oh, we’ve heard this noise lots of times, Laura. And we’ve never been able to figure out what causes it, either.

Your mechanic could be right. When the steering column’s upper bearing wears out on this car, it can cause the plastic on the back of the steering wheel to rub against the plastic cowling at the top of the steering column.

That can make a rubbing noise, especially when it’s hot and everything expands.

Less likely, but also possible, is that your multifunction switch (that stalk that controls the directionals and headlights) is loose, and is rubbing against the steering wheel.

While the noise is probably not dangerous, I’d feel better if you had your mechanic hear it and confirm that. So next time it starts making the noise, drive over there and block the exit of their garage. That’ll guarantee that someone will be instantly available to listen to it.

If your mechanic hears it and confirms that it’s nothing dangerous, then, as an experiment, buy yourself a can of silicone spray.

You’ll also need a large apron of some kind.

Maybe you can walk out with one after your next set of dental X-rays.

Then, next time you hear the noise, pull over, don the apron, and spray a shot of silicone in the space where the steering wheel meets the steering column. Leave the apron on for the rest of your drive, so the silicone doesn’t drip all over your powder-blue pants suit.

If the noise goes away immediately, then you’ve at least identified the location. And, if you’re lucky, it may stay gone for a while — a girl can hope.

If the silicone does nothing or the noise comes back right away and it’s really driving you nuts (which we can tell it is, Laura), then you ask your mechanic to dig in and investigate more. Unfortunately, figuring out exactly what it is will likely involve removing the steering wheel and poking around the steering column. And that runs into money.

And once you take the steering wheel off, it can be hard to reproduce the noise, because the parts may not be rubbing anymore. So try the silicone spray first. A couple of cans a year may be a lot cheaper than steering column surgery.

Maybe combine that with turning up the radio, Laura! Good luck.

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.

Adding Fur Babies! When you own your own home you can

bring pets into your family without worrying about weight/size/breed restrictions or increased security deposits. You could also add fencing or a run to make Fido safe and happy!

potential buyers!

Build Equity! Every time you make a mortgage payment, or make

June is National Homeownership Month

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.

Tax Benefits! Property taxes, mortgage interest and possibly origination fees paid at closing may be deductible on your taxes.

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.

The first step in making this exciting decision is to make a budget and find a Mortgage Professional to discuss loan options to determine how much home you can afford. Other professionals like a Realtor or a tax advisor are great additions to your decision making team!

Strawberry festival returns to Hollis

By Angie Sykeny

News from the local food scene

asykeny@hippopress.com

By Angie Sykeny

Fifty quarts of whipping cream, 39 gallons of ice cream and 370 quarts of strawberries will be used at this year’s Hollis Strawberry Festival, happening at the Town Commons on Sunday, June 25.

The festival is hosted by the Hollis Woman’s Club and the Hollis Town Band. It started 71 years ago as a day of relaxation, when Hollis farmers could socialize with one another and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Now, it’s a chance for the whole town to come together, pay tribute to Hollis farms past and show support for the farms still running.

“It’s always been a celebration of Hollis’ agricultural history,” festival co-chair Lori Dwyer said. “Everywhere you go in Hollis in the summertime, there is something growing, whether it’s corn, tomatoes and other vegetables, raspberries, apples or, of course, strawberries. It’s just neat and a privilege to live in a town that still has these working farms.”

Upon arrival, attendees will receive an order form on which they can fill out what kind of treat they want: traditional strawberry shortcake with or without whipped cream and with or without vanilla ice cream, a strawber-

• Plenty of poutine: The Franco-American Centre will host its second annual New Hampshire PoutineFest on Saturday, June 24, from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium (1 Line Drive, Manchester). Eleven local restaurants, caterers and food trucks will serve a variety of traditional and inventive poutine dishes to hundreds of tasters. The final hour of the festival will overlap with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats’ FrancoAmerican Heritage Night baseball game, during which the players will wear “poutine jerseys” that will be raffled off after the game. General admission costs $30.

• Edible garden tour: Liz Barbour of Creative Feast will host her yearly Open Garden Tour at her home in Hollis (5 Broad St.) on Sunday, June 25, from noon to 4 p.m. Visitors will have a chance to walk through her ⅓-acre edible garden to explore the layout and how the concept is put into practice. The garden features produce such as rhubarb, cabbage, broccoli, Egyptian onions, kale, blackberries and more. Admission is free. Parking is available on the Town Common or behind the library.

ry sundae, just a bowl of strawberries with or without sugar, or just an ice cream in a cup or a cone.

“The shortcakes are … made from flour, heavy cream and sugar, so it’s a very moist and rich-tasting shortcake,” Dwyer said.

Once people fill out their forms, they’ll pay the cashier and take the forms up to the “shortcake factory” where volunteers will be assembling the treats.

David Orde, owner of Lull Farm, which supplies the berries along with Brookdale Fruit Farm, said there will be no lack of strawberries for the festival this year.

“It’s the perfect year for strawberries. We have a beautiful crop this year, extremely bountiful,” he said. “We started picking about a week ago, and the bulk is still to come.

Depending on the weather, we’ll probably go through mid-July.”

Dwyer said she’s expecting as many as 1,000 attendees this year.

“It’s a very basic and simple festival, but it’s a long-running tradition. A lot of people

come out to it,” she said. “It’s just a good day for everyone.”

Planning and publicity for the festival began in January. The week of the festival, the strawberries are picked at Brookdale and Lull farms and brought to Hardy Hall for a “hulling party,” where volunteers will spend the day cleaning, hulling, slicing and sugaring them.

Once the strawberries are prepared, they’re taken back to Brookdale Fruit Farm, where they’re refrigerated until the day of the festival. Meanwhile, bakers are making the shortcakes, and the vanilla ice cream is ordered from Doc Davis Ice Cream.

“It’s very involved, but somehow, it all comes together,” Dwyer said.

Additionally, there will be live music performed by the Hollis Town Band, a raffle, 10 local vendors selling homemade items, and face painting and games for kids.

Proceeds from the festival will benefit the scholarships and charities supported by the Hollis Woman’s Club.

Local bartenders face off in cocktail competition

By Angie Sykeny

Four New Hampshire bartenders will have a chance to showcase their prowess when the Hippo and West Cork Distillers present the Mixology Shakedown cocktail party and competition on MonMixology Shakedown Where: O Steaks & Seafood, 11 S. Main St., Concord When: Monday, June 26, 6 to 9 p.m.

Cost: $30. Tickets are limited.

day, June 26, at O Steaks & Seafood in Concord.

Guests can enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres, an open bar, a special West Cork cocktail and cocktail samples while the bartenders mix up their best original cocktail recipes and compete for the title of Mixology Shakedown Champion.

“These are extremely talented mixologists from really high-end bars and restaurants in our state,” event coordinator Jill Raven said. “There are going to be some really tasty drinks.”

Competing in the Shakedown will be Andrew Johnson of 815 in Manchester,

Jennifer Chipman of La Vista in Lincoln, Elias Kassner of Green Elephant in Portsmouth, and Rachael Jackson of MT’s Local Kitchen & Wine Bar in Nashua.

The featured bartenders were among 35 bartenders who competed in a preliminary regional competition last month.

One winner was selected in each of the four New Hampshire regions: seacoast, central, southern, and northern and lakes.

At the Shakedown, each bartender will create an original cocktail made with West Cork Bourbon Cask Irish Whiskey and additional spirits, mixers and garnishes of their choice. They will prepare HIPPO | JUNE 22 - 28, 2017 | PAGE 35

their cocktails in large batches for 150 guests to sample, and individually for a panel of judges consisting of notable people in the local restaurant industry.

“Judges will judge each cocktail based on four aspects: originality and creativity, taste and flavor profile, visual appeal and presentation, and creative name,” Raven said.

Bartenders will also have the opportunity to make their cocktails in front of the guests and talk about the restaurants at which they work, the inspiration behind their cocktail recipes and how their cock-

tails are made. Guests will then vote to determine which bartender is named the People’s Choice winner.

“It’s a way for there to be involvement from the crowd, too,” Raven said. “Not only can people try the cocktails from each of the finalists, but they’ll be able to vote for their favorite.”

The winner chosen by the judges will receive a $1,000 Amex gift card and an ad in the Hippo featuring his or her cocktail recipe, a note about the inspiration behind it and information on where people can find it.

Picnic dinner features local heirloom, heritage foods

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Eating farm-to-table doesn’t have to be reserved for formal dinners. That’s why Slow Food Seacoast and the Heirloom Harvest Project started the Farm-A-Q, a picnic-style event held on a farm, highlighting heirloom and heritage foods grown and raised on local farms and prepared by local chefs.

The sixth annual Farm-A-Q will take place on Sunday, June 25, at Barth Family and Dog Rose Farm in Lee and will feature meals from more than a dozen Seacoast-area restaurants as well as a variety of tastings, demonstrations and workshops.

“We wanted to make farm-to-table and heirloom ingredients more inclusive and give people access to those foods for a lot less money [than a formal dinner],” said Evan Mallett, chef and co-owner of Portsmouth restaurant Black Trumpet and co-founder of the Heirloom Harvest Project.

“We want people to no longer think of farmto-table as a unique thing, but as a way of life, and as the standard, not the exception.”

Chefs from participating restaurants will each prepare a meal, with ingredients and dishes such as fermented garlic chives, carrot pibil, pickled garden chard stems, turnips and radishes, heirloom bean salad, farm goat pastrami, roasted hog, chashu pork and more.

The event has a different theme each year; this year’s theme is education, which will be played out in a number of demonstrations and workshops put on by the participating restaurants and local food-related organizations. Those will include things like a talk and tasting of sourdough starter used for flatbread pizza, plus a make-your-own pizza workshop for kids; a tasting and demonstration of pickling techniques; a wild edible walk around the farm; a talk on heirloom seed saving; a fish filet demonstration; a tour of the hosting farm’s vegetable operation and greenhouses; a strawberry shortcake workshop for kids and more.

Additionally, there will be tables with information on various local food initiatives and organizations, and people will have the chance to connect with some local farmers and talk with them about their CSA programs and the work they are doing.

“Education is a big part of our mission and we want to make sure that educational component is at the forefront of the event,” Mallett said. “It’s super-exciting to be bringing people this information that we [chefs] all use in our [food] buying habits and in our restaurants.”

The Heirloom Harvest Project will also host the Barn Dinner, a more formal event highlighting local heirloom and heritage foods, on Sept. 25 at Meadow’s Mirth Farm in Stratham.

Sunday Brunch!

JoAnn Costa says it’s always been her dream to open her own restaurant, so when Madden’s Food and Ice Cream in Merrimack went up for sale, she and her husband jumped at the opportunity. “We went to look at it, and we talked about it, and I told him, ‘Make it happen!’” she said. The Costa’s have owned the seasonal restaurant, now called Axel’s Food and Ice Cream (608 Daniel Webster Highway, Merrimack, 429-2229, axelsfoodandicecream. com), for 16 years. Axel’s offers a variety of fresh seafood, signature sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers and more, as well as ice cream and frozen drinks. It’s currently open for the summer season Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m.

your dough in a 9 inch pie plate and chill for about a half hour. While your dough is chilling whisk your egg and milk to make an egg wash and set aside. Combine your sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon juice and blueberries and pour mixture into your chilled pie crust bottom. Place your cut up butter pieces on top of the mixture. Roll out the remaining pie crust into another circle same as above, use whole or cut strips for a lattice. Brush the edges of the pie crust with the egg wash, place the pie crust or lattice on top, trim to about ½ inch over edge of pan.

Fold up edges or crimp with your fingers.

Place the pie in the refrigerator again to chill for another 30 minutes. Heat oven to 425 degrees, brush your pie with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Ground chicken burgers Now is the best time of year to eat in New Hampshire. Since farmers markets abound and local food is plentiful, now is the time to soak up this fresh-food life. This is what we wait for all winter; we have to live it up!

This past week, I purchased ground chicken from Vernon Family Farm in Newfields.

Like so many of the farms in the area, this one is family-owned and -run. Vernon Family Farm attends the Portsmouth Farmers Market, which is how I know about them.

I’ve gotten to know so many local farms and farmers thanks to my local market. It’s an incredible way to find out about what’s near you. Local farms often offer special events, farm animals to visit and so much more.

Especially if you have kids, you should know what local farms are nearby.

Vernon Family Farm sells chicken that is pasture-raised and you can go to the farm and see their digs for yourself. Why is this important? Because having the opportunity Ground Chicken Burgers Makes 4 burgers

to connect with our food in this way makes us educated consumers. While it may not always be possible to buy local, organic or ethically raised meat for you and your family, when you have the chance, take it. To know that the ground chicken I purchased and fed my family came from down the road and was raised by a family I now know personally feels pretty great.

I chose to buy ground chicken this week because it is officially grilling season. While I typically go for beef burgers, I was feeling like trying something different. Ground chicken is leaner than ground beef so the experience is a bit different but still so good. I mixed the chicken with lots of spices and other amazing ingredients and had some fun with the toppings. I strongly encourage you to experiment when it comes to ground chicken — it is an amazing canvas with which to cook.

I love Italian wine. White, red, sparkling — you really can’t go wrong, in my opinion. I am also developing a new fondness for rosé. So of course I had to attend the Italian Wine & Rosé tasting that the New Hampshire Liquor Commission recently offered.

Since the tasting included more than 150 wines, I was only able to sample a fraction of them. But overall I was very impressed with the quality of the wines offered, coupled with the fact that many were affordable enough for everyday sipping. There were, of course, some that I would purchase for more special occasions that were a bit pricier, $50 and higher, but again, I love Italian wine, so I feel like it is worth it.

Here are some of my picks from the night, starting with the rosé since it is a perfect summer wine to enjoy well-chilled.

All can be found at New Hampshire State Liquor & Wine outlets.

Domaine Le Pivé Rosé Gris: I stopped at this Perfecta Wine Co. table with just rosé at it and tried several rosés for comparison. Just when I thought I had found my favorite, I tried another that I liked. This one ended up being my favorite at the table. $14.99 Minuty ‘M’ Grenache Blend Rosé: I found this wine to be nice and light after tasting two heavier, richer rosés. The Martignetti Companies of New Hampshire rep at the table called it a “crowd-pleaser” and noted it is a good summer wine as well. I would sip this with brunch or any time of day really. $18.99 Cecchi La Mora Vermentino: Vermentino is a great summer wine because it naturally pairs well with seafood, many different appetizers and creamy sauces (think seafood alfredo). I found this wine to be refreshing yet structured, with fruity flavors and a nice finish. $15.99 Dell Ornellaia Le Volte Cabernet: Cabernet sauvignon isn’t always one of my favorites but I found this one to be rich, full-bodied and well-balanced. It is also Italian and, as I mentioned, I rarely find an Italian wine I do not like. It seems fruitier than others I have tried and was almost silky on the palate. I am looking forward to enjoying this wine at a later date. $28.99 Carpineto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Reserve: This is a good wine to put in the wine cellar to age, as it can be drunk now through about 2025. A Tuscan sangiovese, this wine is also reserve, which means it has been aged before being sold.

We were tasting the 2011 vintage of this wine. I ordered a bottle of this wine to age in my wine rack. We will see how long it lasts there! $32.99 Allegrini Sondraia: This Bordeaux blend was one of my favorite wines of the night. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and a little cabernet franc, this blend is from Tuscany and a small production wine.

Hearing this, I not only tried it but purchased a bottle to enjoy later. This wine can be aged for many years to come. $49.99 I will always recommend Italian wines as they are some of my favorites but I know they can be intimidating. Taste, taste, taste.

Then find your new favorites.

Seven Birches new releases

Seven Birches Winery in Lincoln recently released two new wines: Rebel and Twilight. Rebel is a blend of cabernet, merlot and syrah, also known as a “super Tuscan.” It is fruit-forward and lush. Twilight is a rosé made from zinfandel grapes that is “the perfect blend of light and dark,” according to the winery. Tasting notes include sweet, aromatic bounty and lively, with a refreshing taste. This is another wine that is perfect for summer.

This is a great time to visit Seven Birches in its picturesque setting at RiverWalk Resort. I went in the fall and the scenery was beautiful. The winery is open daily with expanded weekend hours. Visit sevenbirches.com for more information.

For Gen-Xers who want to feel old, it’s been 29 years since this British synthpop band released their biggest, most upbeat, most yawn-inducing commercial single, “Chains of Love,” a song that, when it played over dancehall loudspeakers, was probably dismissed as a Wham B-side. After all, it had the same rich falsetto hook, prototypical 1980s keyboard sound and all that stuff, and Wham (not to mention Simple Minds and all those guys) were eating these guys’ lunch, but at least it was an effort. WBG, the band’s 17th album, puts its best foot forward, with the irresistible “Love You to the Sky,” boasting a no-brainer hook that I bet they wished they’d written a lot earlier in their career. The title track is a Corey Hart-style pseudo-ballad that’s of course better than anything Corey Hart could have ever come up with, and speaking of that, singer Andy Bell sounds a lot like Hart these days, which is unfortunate. “Take Me Out of Myself” nicks Peabo Bryson, at which point it’s safe to write this whole effort off as dated throwbackism exclusively geared toward fans, although “Oh What a World” dredges up an image of Boyz II Men.

First solo record from the New Zealand bassist, who’s most recognizable from his time with New Yawk-based noise-rockers A Place to Bury Strangers, a band that recalls Bauhaus mixing things up with a buzzed-out doppelganger of DZ Deathrays on its best days, which is mighty cool. Matter of fact, for this release, I’d have been plenty happy with Lunadon taking his best shot at trying to outdo his APTBS bandmates, but (and this looked to be even better) his aim here was a more raw punk thing, purportedly more along the lines of Toy Love and The Gun Club, which translates to Richard Hell and stuff if you’re older. But that description doesn’t give this record anywhere near enough credit — this thing is sick, like Johnny Thunders with an occasional shot of Gravity Kills, meaning hardass Velvet Underground with an on-the-phone vocal effect-box stolen from the Horrors when they were awesome. Indiscriminate wreckage that’ll fix your head for sure. A- — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases

• Up until now, Las Vegas indie-rockers Imagine Dragons have specialized in a particularly bland sort of Coldplay/Maroon 5 sound tinged with kind-of-rap, characterized by their slow arena-singalong hits “Radioactive” and “Believer,” both of which sound the same except there’s more Eminem to the second one.

They wouldn’t be around in the first place if some guy from Train hadn’t gotten sick at some arena festival, but they’re here, and I can stomach them more than Train, so it’s a win for everybody.

Their third album Evolve will street on June 23 and is led up by the single “Whatever It Takes,” a hateful mess that sounds like Coldplay trying to be Drake. You can’t like this. You can’t.

• I like the fact that Australian psychedelic wingnuts King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard make like 50 albums a year, just so I have an excuse to write that name in this multiple award-winning column. Their 10th — yes, 10th — full-length since 2012 is Murder of the Universe, is on its way to you now, with another album called Sketches of Brunswick East due later in 2017. Murder is a concept album, it appears, with 21 songs jammed into 46 minutes; the concept seems to involve something about altered beasts fighting some lightning lord as the universe blows up. The preview video sounds like King Crimson with brain damage, or Queens of the Stone Age with less brain damage. They seem to be having a good time on stage. There are cheesy keyboards. Wait, someone’s talking, like a narrator. Something about “a wretched life in this altered place,” blah blah blah. The guy sounds like Christopher Lee, but stupid. This is awesome.

• Oh come on, who’s Laurel Halo? What happened to the old days, when there were only like five bands paying Wolfman Jack and Don Kirschner the payola money, and every other musician had to stand at the off-ramp with a “Will Work for Doritos” sign written on a piece of brown cardboard? Cripes sakes, back to Wiki and whatnot, why doth the Lord do this unto me. Look at that, she’s an electronic artist, from Ann Arbor, but she’s in Germany these days, which I don’t blame her for. Pitchfork likes her, which spells abandon ship. She looks like your way-too-quiet dorm-mate who has a plush Hello Kitty she talks to and pretends it’s the dude who plays Thor in those stupid Marvel movies. The new album is called Dust and the single is called “Thaw.” The visuals are from some French movie called “Le révélateur,” and it’s disturbing. There’s a lot of glitch, some crummy Postal Service ambience, some off-key singing. Oh, this is just stupid and weird. Barf.

• 311 are still around. Their new album Mosaic has a single, “Too Late.” It sounds like Creed trying to be — wait, it just got worse. Barf barf barf. — Eric W. Saeger

If you’ve never read any of Haruki Murakami’s novels, his new collection of short stories is an excellent introduction to the global literary phenomenon. In Tokyo, people wait outside bookstores for hours for his new releases, and then sit down and start reading right there when they get them.

Men Without Women possesses traits of a Murakami novel — the random cats, the Beatlemania, the everyman characters that prove mesmerizing once you power past the parts where they’re dull. For readers unsure of whether they’d like Murakami, this is your time. Like a blind date in the safe confines of lunch, it’s just stories. But a taste of Murakami’s unique voice might lead to more.

Murakami has one of the most famous backstories of contemporary writers. He decided one day at a baseball game that he, too, could write a novel, and within a couple of months he had done so – longhand, with a $5 fountain pen. (This story he tells in his memoir What I Talk About When I Talk About Running.) Caring little about how it would be received, he sent the novel off to a contest without making a copy.

It was months before he heard back that he had won. Now, millions of copies of his books sit on shelves across the world.

His latest title notwithstanding, Murakami is not a man without a woman; he’s been married for decades. Moreover, Men Without Women is a title he (or his publisher) stole from Ernest Hemingway, who published a book of short stories with that title in 1927. But Murakami often pays homage to writers he admires — most significantly in this new book, to that staple of high-school literature classes, Franz Kafka.

“Samsa in Love” is a clever imagining of the morning that Gregor Samsa, of Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis,” transitions from a cockroach to a human. Like the earlier change, the new Samsa struggles to cope with his new and strange form and with blinding hunger; he also has some bewildering challenges, such as the sudden need for clothes, and a curious terror of birds.

Here is Samsa surveying his new body: “Smooth white skin (covered by only a perfunctory amount of hair) with fragile blue blood vessels visible through it; a soft, unprotected belly; ludicrous, impossibly shaped genitals; gangly arms and legs (just two of each!); a scrawny, breakable neck; an enormous, misshapen head with a tangle

of stiff hair on its crown; two absurd ears, jutting out like a pair of seashells.”

Samsa is indeed a man without a woman, but he has the possibility of one: a hunchback who has apparently been summoned by his missing family to repair the mysteriously broken lock on the door to his room. He falls for her as she laboriously climbs the stairs to his room “much like a crawling insect.” As she leaves, he calls after her, “Look out for the birds.” It’s smart, fresh and fun.

In this and six other stories, the men do have women in their lives: women who drive them around, women who sell them bars, women who cheat on them with business associates, women who cheat with them; women with cigarette burns on their bodies; women who think they were jawless eels in another life.

But all of these men have a certain woman who haunts them in some way, and all were painfully singed when they joined the universal tribe of Men Without Women, described in the titular last chapter as a “relentlessly frigid plural” even when it occurs to a singular man.

As Murakami writes, “Only Men Without Women can comprehend how painful, how heartbreaking, it is to become one.

You lose that wonderful west wind. … The bottom of the sea, with the ammonites and coelacanths. Calling someone’s house past one a.m. Getting a call after one a.m. from a stranger. Waiting for someone you don’t know somewhere between knowledge and ignorance. Tears falling on the dry road as you check the pressure of your tires.”

Were it not for the memorable characters and the sly wit (such as the man who badly translates Beatles lyrics into Japanese: “Yesterday/ Is two days before tomorrow”), the existential wailing could get old, particularly from the men whose own questionable actions resulted in the loss of their one true love. (The man whose adulterous affair leads to his own death, in particular, is hard to mourn.)

Murakami speaks English but writes in Japanese and does not translate his own work. As with any translated work, the reader has a vague sense of missing out on the original presentation, wondering if the elegant arrangement of words is truly the work of the author or of his translators.

Whether it’s Murakami or his translators who are responsible for “the bloody weight of desire and the rusty anchors of remorse,” it’s remarkable writing, whether you’re a man without a woman, or a woman with a man. Believe the hype. A — Jennifer Graham

“Art is for Everyone” is the slogan for the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts, and it plays out in everything the organization does — including its inaugural Rochester Independent Film Festival, with screenings at the Rochester Opera House Saturday, June 24, and Sunday, June 25.

The RMFA is co-organizing the festival with the Rochester Public Library, which owns InstantFlix, the service the flicks will stream from. The program includes awardwinning indie films from around the world.

Matt Wyatt, co-founder and president of the RMFA, said via phone that one of the festival’s goals is to highlight this service available to all Rochester library card-holders. Another is simply to light up the the opera house with acclaimed, lesser-known pieces all weekend long.

The idea for the film festival began with Rochester Public Library Director Brian Sylvester, who mentioned to RMFA members that the library had the capability of streaming movies off-site via InstantFlix. That meant it would save time for organizers, who wouldn’t have to race around trying to obtain permission from filmmakers to screen their flicks.

The program includes In the Heat of the Night (an African-American detective investigates a murder in a racially hostile southern town), Raid of the Rainbow Lounge (recounting the 2009 police raid of a Texas gay bar), The Third Man (a novelist finds himself investigating the death of his old friend in postwar Vienna), The Messenger (about the men sent to deliver casualty notifications to soldiers’ families), Gold (an estranged father returns home to reconnect with his daughter and ex-wife), Broke. (documenting the friendship between a cynic pawnbroker and a psychopath), Seamonsters (two teenage boys are torn apart by a girl), Road North (a father absent for 30 years returns home to bond with his son on a road trip), This Way of Life (a couple raise their six kids in the mountains of New Zealand) and T-Rex (about female boxer Claressa “T-Rex” Shields), plus a surprise classic horror movie Saturday at midnight.

For the most part, the film selection was a matter of taste from the committee; the program spans all genres, all subjects, all periods.

The only one chosen with a theme in mind was Raid of the Rainbow Lounge in honor of Pride Month, which the RMFA celebrates more fully Aug. 26 during the Rochester Gay Pride Parade.

“We do all kinds of events downtown but gay pride was very special for me. It’s overwhelming for me as a gay person to see my

hometown light up like that,” Wyatt said.

“It’s easy to do these things in Boston and New York, but in small cities like Rochester is where the LGBT community needs it the most because there are so few of us.”

Rochester’s arts and cultural life is bustling in general; soon it will also be home to the Rochester Performance & Arts Center, with construction underway in the former Carney Medical Supply building and an opening slated for this summer. It will be home to studio and workshop spaces and a small theater with 100 seats, allowing for more intimate events than the opera house, which holds 700.

“Our downtown district is really turning into an arts district,” Wyatt said.

The RMFA is more a concept than a physical place, running three gallery spaces (at City Hall, the opera house and the library), which together display a 150-piece permanent collection of donated and loaned pieces (paintings, sculptures, photography, etc.).

“There are a lack of venues for working artists,” Wyatt said. “Not everybody’s getting into the fancy galleries or museums. … We wanted to give artists a place to show their work … and make it free for people to come in and see any time they want to.”

The organization also regularly presents film screenings, plus monthly-rotating art shows with work by contemporary artists.

“We don’t think anybody should have to travel to see fine art. It should be in every community, and that’s kind of the mission of the [Rochester] Museum of Fine Arts: to bring art to the people,” Wyatt said. “We do have a small curatorial committee built of artists, community members and leaders who want to make art accessible. And not just, ‘Oh, my neighbor is an artist.’ We try to get the best art we can get our hands on to bring to Rochester.”

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Cars 3 (G)

Lightning McQueen contemplates aging and career transition — as kids do — in Cars 3, the third in the Pixar animated movie series.

Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) still loves racing and being cheered on, especially by friends Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy), Sally (voice of Bonnie Hunt), Ramone (voice of Cheech Marin), Mack (voice of John Ratzenberger), Guido (voice of Guido Quaroni) and Luigi (voice of Tony Shalhoub). But suddenly, new race cars are getting the glory. Designed and trained with scientific precision, these faster rookies are led by Jackson Storm (voice of Armie Hammer), who goes the extra mile to make McQueen feel like a has-been.

After a crash, McQueen falls into a slump, returning to Radiator Springs to sulk and watch old movies of his old mentor Doc Hudson (voice of the late Paul Newman courtesy of unused audio recorded for the 2006 Cars, according to a story from Entertainment Weekly). When McQueen does return to racing, he finds he has a new sponsor, Sterling (voice of Nathan Fillion), who may be more interested in McQueen’s brand power than his racing career. He also gets some new training tech and a trainer, Cruz Ramirez (voice of Cristela Alonzo), who treats McQueen like a geriatric. She won’t even let him on the simulator, while

McQueen is eager to get back on a real track.

As training leaves McQueen feeling discouraged, he sets off to find Smokey (voice of Chris Cooper), the car who mentored Doc. The fact that animated cars are the characters having various crises of confidence in Cars 3 doesn’t mitigate the fact that those cars are talking about adult-relatable themes such as life regret, growing older, losing mentors and facing a change in one’s identity. At the screening where I saw this movie, I heard a lot of general fidgetiness that to me signified that the youngest mem-

Also rounding out the badass lady cast are Connie Nelson and Lucy Davis.

Chris Pine plays a very credible love interest for a warrior as awesome as Diana, princess of the Amazons. This movie delightfully fulfills all my hopes and dreams for a superheroine movie and for a fun (really!) movie from the DC universe.

bers of the audience were bored with the many talky scenes. Heck, I was bored.

I revisited my reviews of the previous Cars movies and many of the same factors at play in those movies are true here as well. As with the previous two movies, there is some really magnificent animation here. When Lightning goes to the run-down racetrack of Hudson’s youth, the detail work is beautiful — paint curling on old signs, a photo-realistic chain link fence.

The way voice and car come together when Lightning talks to the old-timers — particI said awesome enough, yet? ― awesome. A The Mummy (PG-13) Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella.

Not every athlete can win an Olympic gold medal, not every performer can EGOT and not every studio can make a successful multifilm cinematic universe. The Dark Universe of Universal Studios monster movies demonstrates this with this sad, confused, not-at-all-fun

ularly cars voiced by Isiah Whitlock Jr. and Margo Martindale — is spot on. I wished I could hang out in these moments, get a better look around and hear Martindale talk about her lady race car exploits.

But then there’s the endless discussion about Lightning’s race career and the jibber-jabber about confidence that is so superficial for most of the movie that it doesn’t really resonate. There is a harshness about the way characters get mad at each other in this movie. It feels like a streak of meanness that isn’t needed and sours the overall experience. (For an example of how mean behavior can be shown as wrong while having context and still allowing a character to have an emotional arc, see Lou, a short film that runs before this movie. The items in a lost and found box take it upon themselves to be returned and to teach a lesson in empathy.)

And the movie is full of what feels like a lot of unearned sentimentality. We hear the posthumous voices of Tom Magliozzi and Paul Newman and someone approximating George Carlin’s voice (Lloyd Sherr, who took over the hippie VW Bus character Fillmore). Yes, it was sweet to hear, probably for the last time, a “don’t drive like my brother, don’t drive like my brother” exchange between Dusty (Ray Magliozzi) and Rusty (the late Tom Magliozzi). And, yes, Doc Hudson flashbacks are also poi-

gnant. But these things really have more to do with the feelings I have about these real-world people and maybe to a lesser degree the characters they played in previous movies, not so much what’s happening in this movie.

In large part, I watched Cars 3 with this question in mind: is this movie (one of the few G-rated movies to hit theaters) a movie I want to take my young kids to? I think they would like the final 20-or-so minutes, when the movie really does finally come together to offer a blend of fun visuals, characters doing adventurous and cartoony things and emotional pay-off. But the road to that point feels like it would be a dull slog. BRated G. Directed by Brian Fee with a screenplay by Kiel Murray, Bob Peterson and Mike Rich, Cars 3 is an hour and 49 minutes long (or, at least 25 minutes longer than a G-rated movie should be) and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios.

Jess (Scarlett Johansson) is marrying Peter (Paul W. Downs), and college friend Alice (Jillian Bell) has planned a weekend in Miami to celebrate. Also coming are fellow college buddies Blair (Zoe Kravitz) and Frankie (Ilana Glazer) as well as Pippa (Kate McKinnon), an Australian Jess met during a semester abroad.

The weekend starts off as expected for this sort of trip in this sort of movie — a swanky rental house next door to a swinger couple (Ty Burrell and Demi Moore), a whole lot of drinking and a few hits of cocaine, a male stripper hired from Craigslist. But then the stripper dies from an accidental head wound. The ladies, high and afraid of going to jail, don’t call the cops and instead follow the shifty advice of Blair’s lawyer uncle: if there’s no body, it’s very hard to prosecute.

Meanwhile, Jess’ brief confused phone

conversation with Peter has him believing that she wants to cancel their wedding.

Unwilling to lose her, he stocks up on adult diapers, Red Bull and expired Ritalin and drives to Miami to win her back.

Weirdly, as with Snatched and its malefocused minor plot-line, the Peter parts of this movie come closer to hitting that blend of absurd comic situation and rated-R dumbness that I think the movie was going for. In the main story, the jokes generally felt off — as though the writer knew the beats to hit but not the specific words. Often, the jokes felt disconnected from the characters saying them (and frequently more like a joke a man would write for a woman than a joke a woman would make herself; Downs, who plays Peter, shares the screenplay credit with the director Lucia Aniello).

Overall, the characters feel inconsistent; their actions and even their basic traits don’t always seem to make sense or connect from one scene to the next. Jess is perhaps the worst offender; for some reason, the movie makes her a candidate for state senator. Thusly, every decision she makes, including the decision to attend this weekend, is not just a bad decision but nonsensical to her character.

Kate McKinnon, usually great, is useless here. I could never figure out why the movie needed her to be Australian or needed her at all.

I went in to Rough Night hoping to like it. I like a good dumb, raunchy comedy and there should be more of this genre that feature women, who are just as capable of being goofy and R-rated as men. But Rough Night is a slight, poorly thought-out attempt at a lady-led riff on The Hangoverstyle movie. D+ Rated R for crude sexual content, language throughout, drug use and brief bloody images. Directed by Lucia Aniello with a screenplay by Aniello and Paul W. Downs, Rough Night is an hour and 41 minutes long and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

NITE Pioneering Local music news & events

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

• Street party: Among the many musical performers at this year’s Market Days, the Homegrown Stage in Bicentennial Square boasts a who’s who of the region’s finest, including People Skills and Evidence Lies for the kickoff day, Dopamine and Cold Engines on Friday, closing out with Brooks Young, Whiskey Kill, Rockspring and Pat & the Hats, among many more. It begins Thursday, June 22, at 11:30 a.m. in downtown Concord.

For a full list of music see intownconcord.org.

• Natural man: Settle into a positive vibe as Michael Franti & Spearhead perform.

Franti is known for energetic shows and artistic activism. “Once a Day,” released last year, was written after his son was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease, as a way to inspire others with similar challenges. Go Thursday, June 22, at 7:30 p.m., Lebanon Opera House, 51 N. Park St., Lebanon. Tickets $59.50 at michaelfranti.com.

• After party: Following the past week’s Harley invasion, the Lakes Region settles back into a summer state of mind. Roadhouse is a high-energy rock band that’s packed dance floors since the 1990s with spirited covers of classics from the Stones, AC/DC, Pat Benatar and Foghat. The Claremont quartet is more frequently in the western part of the state, so a trip up the highway is a treat for anyone looking to rock hard. Go Friday, June 23, 9 p.m., Broken Spoke Saloon, 1072 Watson Road, Laconia. See brokenspoke.com.

• Sun inside: A tropical-themed Beach Babies at Sayde’s show stars Taken, Diamond Edge Band and Xception playing original music. Come in cutoffs and flipflops adorned with puka shell necklaces and get in on the fun. With songs like “Let It Out” and “Isn’t It Time to Rock and Roll,” Diamond Edge’s vintage sound is especially fitting for this event. Go Saturday, June 24, 7 p.m., Sayde’s Bar & Grill, 136 Cluff Crossing Road, Salem. See facebook.com/ diamondedgeband.

• Al fresco: Charming Beatles tribute act Studio Two kicks off a free weekly concert series in downtown Manchester running through Labor Day.

Carter rounds out Americana summit

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

Carlene Carter’s musical lineage is with her everywhere she goes.

“It’s the first paragraph of every story, all the people I’m related to — which somehow is supposed to qualify me,” she says with a hearty laugh that punctuates much of the phone interview. “See? Look at all these people she grew up with!”

What’s set Carter apart as an artist, however, is frequently pushing beyond her heritage. In the late 1970s, she left Nashville for London, to make records with Rockpile, Graham Parker’s band The Rumour and Clover — when the latter band wasn’t backing Elvis Costello in the studio.

Carter’s rebellious activity, marked by her touchstone album Musical Shapes, helped pave the way later for a generation of female performers.

“The so-called ‘New Country’ boom of the early ’90s,” wrote roots blog No Depression in 2007, “owes a great debt to Carter’s inability to conform.”

“It was so freeing musically because of the fact that there was no genre, there was no big segregation,” Carter said. “On any day, I could rock like hell if I wanted to, dress however I wanted. ... That whole time of my life was so much about creativity.”

“The First Family of Country Music” — started by A.P., Sara and Maybelle Carter in the 1920s and carried on by June Carter Cash with her sisters — always stayed a beacon for Carlene Carter, daughter of June Carter Cash and stepdaughter of Johnny Cash.

When her career ebbed mid 1980s, “I wormed my way back into the band with Mama, Helen and Anita and that felt like home,” she said. “All my life, when I haven’t known what I wanted to do next musically, I go back to my roots, where my family and my ancestors come from. I draw on that for strength and foundation.”

In 2014, she made Carter Girl in tribute to that heritage, recording 11 Carter Family songs and remaking her original, “Me and the Wildwood Rose,” a tribute to her sister and frequent singing partner, Rosey Nix Adams.

“I inherited a huge treasure chest of mateJohn Mellencamp, Emmylou Harris and Carlene Carter When: Friday, June 30, 7:30 p.m.

rial,” she said of the selection process that involved winnowing through close to 1,000 songs. “I came across a few that I had never heard or might have heard maybe once.

I really tried to find ones that applied to me in some way, that when I sang them, I wish I had written them.”

She received support on the record from Vince Gill, Willie Nelson and Elizabeth Cook, and other country stars close to the Carter legacy. The most remarkable backing vocals, however, are heard on “I Ain’t Gonna Work Tomorrow,” as June, Helen and Anita Carter and Johnny Cash join in via technological magic.

“I pretty much cried tears of joy every day in the studio,” Carter said. “I really felt my family around me in spirit, and singing with them after the fact, after them being passed on, is such a wild thing. ... It really felt like they were there.”

Carter is currently touring with John Mellencamp in support of his newly released Sad Clowns and Hillbillies. The disc is officially a record by Mellencamp “featuring Carlene Carter” — a unique credit reflecting the close musical bond that’s formed between the two since they first worked together on the soundtrack of Meg Ryan’s 2015 film Ithaca.

“John gets a little confused when he tells the story,” Carter said. “I corrected him; he doesn’t normally take correction very well, but he did laugh it off pretty good. But that was the first time we connected. ... I flew out to Indiana on very short notice and went in the studio and recorded it. Then we talked all afternoon — that was the beginning

of our working relationship.”

By the end of this tour, “we’ll have done over 175 dates together; that’s a lot of work, shows, towns and miles. It’s a wonderful gift in my life.”

Carter will open with a half hour set and then sing with the headliner on hits like “Pink Houses” and new cuts like “What Kind of Man Am I?” and “Indigo Sunset” — the latter written and sung by Carter.

The new project began as a gospel album, an idea raised by Mellencamp.

“Really old religious hymns put to music and make them more current,” Carter recalled him telling her.

The project became something different, while loosely holding to his directive.

“There are a lot of songs that explore the spirit, that we are just a speck of dust flying through the universe on the tail of an ass,” Carter said.

The current tour is Carter’s first with Emmylou Harris, a performer she points to as responsible for starting her career. Carter and Susanna Clark co-wrote “Easy From Now On,” the de facto title track for Harris’s 1978 album Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town.

“The next thing I know, I’m sitting in front of Emmylou playing it to her. ...

Emmy proceeded to talk about me to her manager, Eddie Tickner, who decided he wanted to be my manager,” Carter said.

In short order, she was signed to Harris’s label.

“I really love that Emmy saw something there, and at that time, they listened to her opinion,” she said.

The Whipping Man

A Drama by Matthew Lopez | June 21-July 2 It is April, 1865 and the Civil War is drawing to a close. Caleb DeLeon, a Jewish Confederate soldier, returns wounded from the battlefield to his home in Richmond only to find it in ruins. The house has been abandoned by everyone except Simon and John, two former slaves, who were raised as Jews in the DeLeon home. As the three men reunite, they uncover deep-buried secrets... ties that bind them together and that, ultimately, could cost each man his freedom. An unflinching play about redemption, forgiveness and the lasting scars of slavery.

Emotionally Potent...surreal in the layers of meaning...a quiet force.” -New York times The Whipping Man features Taurean Blacque (Driving Miss Daisy, Det, Washington in Hill Street Blues), Robert Douglas and Will Hoewll. Directed by Howard Millman.

Rated R. Contains Adult Language and Intense Images.

23RD ROB & JODY 24TH THE DOGFATHER’S

plays, I acted, I sang, I was the student newspaper cartoonist. All this, of course, was less a function of my talent than of the school’s being in rural New Hampshire, where the only option for real entertainment was driving one and a half hours to Manchester, on the off chance the Capitol Steps were touring there. If you’re bored, write a play?

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Sometimes I bring a script I’m working on to a restaurant and sit near people and eavesdrop on them. … but it’s basically just nosiness. … it also helps me gauge where I’m at in comparison. Am I normal? Am I doing the correct trendy cardio exercises? Am I reading the right books? Is gluten still lame? Is soap cool again, or is body wash still the way to go? Go with body wash.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Being overweight is so common in America and comes in so many forms that you can’t just call someone “fat” and have the reasonable expectation anyone will understand you. You need to be specific.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) I would rather have someone read my diary than look at my iPod playlists. Your playlist is your own business.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) It’s really hard when you realize the guy you’ve been dating is basically a high schooler at heart. … Until I was thirty, I only dated boys, as far as I can tell. … Men make concrete plans. Men own alarm clocks. Men sleep on a mattress that isn’t on the floor. Men tip generously. Men buy new shampoo instead of adding water to a nearly empty bottle of shampoo. … Men know what they want and they don’t let you in on their inner monologue, and that is scary.

Think about what you want.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Was it fair?

Nope. Was it cool? Absolutely not. But it also wasn’t fair or cool for him to have brought three dozen size-zero gowns to my photo shoot. Be fair and be cool.

ENTERTAINMENT THIS WEEK

All quotes are from Is Everyone Hanging Out WIthout Me? (And Other Concerns),

by Mindy Kaling, born June 24, 1979.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) My BlackBerry camera has proven to exist primarily as a mirror to see if my makeup came out okay.

Try repurposing an old object.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) Nothing says impenetrability and closeness like a silk-screened T-shirt with an acronym most people don’t understand. Make sure your message is intentional.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) If it weren’t for my imagination, I would weigh ten thousand pounds. This is because the only way I am able to exercise anymore is through a long and vivid revenge fantasy. Whatever works.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) My parents get along because they are pals. … It mostly means they want to talk about the same stuff all the time. … They love gardening. They can talk about aphids the way I talk about New York Fashion Week. Aphids are amazing if you think about it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) I remember being in first grade … and seeing that Ashley Kep, the most popular girl in our class, weighed only thirty-seven pounds. We knew this because we weighed her on the industrial postal scale they kept in the teacher’s supply closet. ... Some of the first math I understood was that I was closer to twice Ashley’s weight than to her weight. Math will be useful.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) When I tie my shoelaces I can do it standing, and I’m out the door in about ten seconds. … But with men, if they are putting on any kind of shoe … it will take twenty times as long as when a woman does it. … First of all, they sit down. … I can put on a pair of hiking boots that have not even been laced yet while talking on my cell phone, without even leaning on a wall. Proper footwear is key.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) I wrote

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Advertisers coming for you

The New York Times reported in May that the “sophistication” of Google’s and Facebook’s ability to identify potential customers of advertisements is “capable of targeting ads ... so narrow that they can pinpoint, say, Idaho residents in long-distance relationships who are contemplating buying a minivan.” Facebook’s ad manager told the Times that such a description matches 3,100 people (out of Idaho’s 1.655 million).

Government in action

• Harry Kraemer, 76, owner of Sparkles Cleaning Service in London, Ontario, was alone in his SUV recently and decided to light up a cigarette based on his 60-year habit but was spotted by Smoke-Free Ontario officers and cited for three violations. Since his vehicle was registered to his business, and the windows were up, the cab constituted an “enclosed workspace.” It took a long legal fight, but in May, the Provincial Offences Court cut Kraemer a break and dismissed the tickets.

• The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finally prevailed in federal appeals court in February in its Endangered Species Act designation that wetlands in Louisiana’s St. Tammany Parish should be preserved as a safe habitat for the dusky gopher frog.

Landowners barred from developing the land pointed out that no such frogs have been spotted there for “decades,” but have been seen elsewhere in the state and in Mississippi. FWS concluded the St. Tammany area could be a place that dusky gopher frogs might thrive if they decided to return.

The job of the researcher

From the abstract of California State Polytechnic assistant professor Teresa Lloro-Bidart, in an April academic paper, comparing behaviors of native-California western gray squirrels and disruptive (to residents’ trash cans) eastern fox squirrels: “I juxtapose feminist posthumanist theories and feminist food study scholarship to demonstrate how eastern fox squirrels are subjected to gendered, racialized and speciesist thinking in the popular news media as a result of their feeding/eating practices (and) their unique and unfixed spatial arrangements in the greater Los Angeles region....” The case “presents a unique opportunity to question and re-theorize the ontological given of ‘otherness’ that manifests in part through a politics” in which “animal food choices” “stand in” for “compliance and resistance” to the “dominant forces in (human) culture.”

The continuing crisis 114261

HIPPO | JUNE 22 - 28, 2017 | PAGE 62

• Japan is in constant conflict over whether to become more militarily robust (concerned

increasingly with North Korea) even though its constitution requires a low profile (only “self-defense”). When the country’s defense minister recently suggested placing females into combat roles, constitutional law professor Shigeaki Iijima strongly objected, initiating the possibility that Japan’s enemies might have bombs capable of blowing women’s uniforms off, exposing their bodies. The ridicule was swift. Wrote one, “I saw something like that in Dragon Ball” (from the popular comic book and TV productions of Japanese anime).

• Took It Too Far: Already, trendy restaurants have offered customers dining experiences amidst roaming cats (and in one bold experiment, owls), but the art house San Francisco Dungeon has planned a two-day (July 1 and 8) experimental “Rat Cafe” for those who feel their coffee or tea is better sipped while rats (from the local rat rescue) scurry about the room. Pastries are included for the $49.99 price, but the rats will be removed before the food comes.

(Sponsors promise at least 15 minutes of “rat interaction,” and the price includes admission to the dungeon.)

Bright ideas

Organizers of northern Germany’s Wacken Open Air Festival (billed as the world’s biggest metal music extravaganza) expect the 75,000 attendees to drink so much beer that they have built a nearly 4-mile-long pipeline to carry 105,000 gallons to on-site taps. (Otherwise, keg-delivery trucks would likely muck up the grounds.) Some pipes were buried specifically for the Aug. 3 to Aug. 5 festival, but others had been used by local farmers for ordinary irrigation.

Fine points of the law

Convicted murderer John Modie, 59, remains locked up (on an 18-to-life sentence), but his several-hours-long 2016 escape attempt from Hocking (Ohio) Correctional Institution wound up unpunishable because of a “technicality.” In May 2017, the judge, lamenting the inflexible law, found Modie not guilty of the escape because prosecutors had, despite numerous opportunities, failed to identify the county in which Hocking Correctional Institution is located and thus did not “prove” that element of the crime (i.e., that the court in Logan, Ohio, had jurisdiction of the case).

(Note to prosecutors: The county was Hocking).

Under the influence

(1) Sheriff’s deputies in Dade City, Florida, nearly effortlessly arrested Timothy Brazell, 19, for trespassing in May. Brazell (high on methamphetamine, he said) attempted to commandeer a stranger’s car by hot-wiring it, but only by uselessly connecting the wires of a voltage meter and even though the key was already in the car.

According to the owner, the door lock was jammed on the inside, and Brazell could not figure out how to open it. (2) On May 19, Carl Webb and his wife left a nighttime barbecue festival in downtown Memphis and headed home. They drove 14 miles on an interstate highway before a police officer pulled them over to ask if Webb knew there was a body on his trunk. The man was clinging to the lip of the trunk but was still unconscious (from drinking) and had to be jarred awake.
