It’s not really summer in New Hampshire unless we’ve had a few days in the high 80s with a bit of mugginess. This year it was almost the Fourth of July before that happened. But it’s finally here and that, along with some cookouts, got me thinking about what it really means to experience summer in New Hampshire — and what foods really give us that sense of place that is so strong here.

Burgers. Like many of our great American foods, this one may have roots overseas, but we tweaked it just enough to make it American. One of the things that makes it such a great summer food is that it can be eaten with your hands (that’s one way I determined whether it’s summer food).

Shameless plug: July is the Granite State Burger Challenge where almost 30 restaurants in the Merrimack Valley (and some a bit farther out) are creating awesome burgers, and diners can win daily prizes and vie for a $2,000 grand prize of gift certificates.

Details can be found at granitestateburgerchallenge.com. The burger is one of those foods that allows for almost endless variations. One of my favorites is a simple beef patty with some salt and pepper and a slice of yellow onion on a white roll. I think I had it with a Coke from a bottle — one of the real ones, with sugar in it.

Lobster roll. In other parts of the country they think lobster is fancy for the jet-setters. Here in New Hampshire and the rest of New England, we lovingly toss it in mayo, add some salt and pepper and celery and put it on a white hot dog roll (sometimes lightly grilled with butter) and serve it on paper plates.

Beach pizza. This is summer goodness at its simplest. If you haven’t had it, make the trip to Hampton to try it. It’s basically a thin pizza crust with a sweet sauce and a small amount of cheese. And yes, it’s to be eaten with your hands and comes in squares.

Ice cream. New Englanders and New Hampshire folks eat a lot of ice cream.

For dwellers in a climate that is chilly for almost six month of the year, we eat a whole lot. New Hampshire is ninth in the nation by state in per capita consumption of ice cream; Massachusetts is fourth and Rhode Island is second. While it’s hard to say what the most New Hampshire flavor is, I’d go with blueberry or coffee — or anything with jimmies on it. Soft-serve twist works too.

And the best part: We already live here.

We can just jump in our cars and grab a burger, lobster roll, beach pizza and ice cream. Maybe all in one long lazy summer trip around the state.

NEWS & NOTES Bills, budget signed

Gov. Chris Sununu signed more than 30 bills into law between June 27 and June 30. On the first day, Sununu signed a bill that would give grandparents preference for custody of children in cases involving alcohol or drug abuse, the AP reported. It’s the first such law in the country. According to a press release from the governor’s office, he also signed 23 bills on June 28, which included the two state budget bills. A number of study commissions were created, such as a commission to study “current mental health procedures for involuntary commitment,” one to study broadband access to the internet, one to study temporary seasonal docks, one to study environmentally triggered chronic illnesses and another to study education funding and the organizational structure of the department of education. On June 29, Sununu signed the so-called Croydon bill, which allows for small towns with no public schools to use tax dollars to send their kids to a private school. He signed the bill at Croydon Village School. A similar bill was vetoed by former Gov. Maggie Hassan after Croydon became embroiled in a court battle over sending its kids to a Montessori school in 2015.

Carfentanil cases

Health care bill

Gov. Chris Sununu, a Republican, sent a letter to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell expressing his opposition to the Senate’s health care reform bill. In the letter, shared in a press release, Sununu praised many components of the Better Care Reconciliation Act such as flexibility given to the states, the continuation of preexisting conditions protections and a Medicaid option to cover limited stays in mental health facilities.

But he said the BCRA’s reliance on a per capita cap formula will lead to a loss of $1.4 billion in Medicaid funding to the state over 10 years.

“Taken as a whole, we believe that the changes proposed in the BCRA will lead to cuts in eligibility, loss of coverage, or significant increases in state taxes,” Sununu said in the letter. Sununu joins fellow Republicans New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich in expressing concern over the cuts to Medicaid in this bill.

Nominee

Taylor Caswell was nominated by Gov. Sununu to serve as the next commissioner of the Department of Business and Economic Affairs, according to a press release. Caswell has been the executive director of the Community Development Finance Authority since 2014. “With Taylor’s leadership, the BEA will become a one-stop shop for all New Hampshire’s business needs, which will help drive our economy and make businesses and workforce development a top priority again,” Sununu said in a written statement. The BEA is a new department created in the budget by splitting off the divisions of economic development and travel and tourism.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office is investigating more than three dozen cases involving carfentanil, the extremely powerful opioid originally designed as an elephant tranquilizer, NHPR reported. Seven of those cases have led to indictments so far. Carfentanil is 100 times more potent than fentanyl and 10,000 times more potent than morphine. Authorities say a single grain of the drug can prove lethal. So far, there have been six confirmed deaths connected to Surrogacy carfentanil in the state.

The state’s first surrogacy agency launched in Concord.

Needle exchange

The state’s first needle exchange has opened its doors in Claremont, according to NHPR. The exchange is run by two Dartmouth medical students with the help of donations and grants. It operates out of a local soup kitchen. The exchange, which provides clean syringes in exchange for used syringes for people addicted to intravenous opioids like heroin and fentanyl, opened just days after it became legal to do so in New Hampshire. The goal of the exchange is to curb the spread of bloodborne diseases like HIV and hepatitis C from needle-sharing.

The program also offers testing for those diseases and the overdose-antidote drug naloxone.

Bedford

A man accidentally ignited a batch of fireworks in the back of his SUV in Pembroke, the AP reported. The hatch of the car was open when the man lit a sparkler, which sent sparks onto the recently purchased fireworks in the car. The man and his MANCHESTER family ran to safety and the fire department extinguished the fire.

STATION 9

Manchester Fire Chief Dan Goonan’s plans to close a fire station in the city due to a budget gap caused by severance packages for firefighters retiring this year led to a showdown with city officials. WMUR reported Goonan announced the closure of Station 9 because his budget requests for the next fiscal year were not met. This put him at odds with Mayor Ted Gatsas, who worked with aldermen during a June 29 meeting to allocate $138,000 to pay for the immediate severance packages and stave off closure of the station, which was scheduled for July 1. Goonan reportedly called the move a “band-aid” because there are more retirements coming soon.

The aldermen will discuss the issue further during their next meeting on July 18.

SNOW MAKERS

About $4,000 worth of copper wires were stolen from the McIntyre Ski Area in Manchester, according to Manchester police. The three 225-foot wires were used to power the ski area’s snowmaking machines. Two men are seen in security footage walking toward the machines and leaving with the wires after they were cut, according to WMUR. The copper can be valuable when sold as scrap. In response to the incident, Ski New Hampshire is warning other ski areas around the state to keep an eye on their copper, the AP reported.

“The workforce shortage is a complex issue, but housing is definitely a component of it,” Housing Action NH Director Elissa Margolin said.

The money will be used to provide undermarket-rate loans to developers who can pass on the rental savings to renters so workingclass and lower-income individuals can afford housing, something that has become more scarce than ever before in the state. The New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority estimated the state’s vacancy rate for two-bedroom apartments to be a record low of 1.4 percent.

“Right now, there’s virtually no viable rental market near the job centers in New Hampshire,” Margolin said.

While she counts the funding as a win and is optimistic for the future, she said the state still lags behind others in the region when it comes to affordable housing investments. By contrast, Vermont bonded $35 million and Rhode Island bonded $50 million to their respective affordable housing funds.

One of the biggest things that changes in the new budget is how the cap for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, formerly known as welfare, is determined.

Phil Sletten, policy analyst for New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute, said the state previously set the maximum TANF benefits by a specific dollar amount per family size. While there will still be a formula that accounts for family size, the max will now be set at 60 percent of federal poverty guidelines.

For a family of three, that’s about $12,000, an increase from what had been about 39 percent of federal poverty guidelines.

This change affects fewer than 5,000 people statewide, most of whom are children, Provider rates according to Sletten.

New sanctuary

Jewish organization begin renovations to Stark House

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

For nearly 27 years, Chabad Lubavitch of New Hampshire — a social, cultural and religious support network for Jews in the community — has not had a proper gathering place to call its own. But with the acquisition of the Stark House from the Sununu Youth Center on River Road in Manchester, it hopes to open its first permanent base of operations this fall.

“Chabad is an educational institution,” the Chabad’s founder, Rabbi Levi Krinsky, said. “So it’s all about enrichment, it’s all about education, it’s all about the outreach [to] unaffiliated Jews in our community.”

In the nearly three decades of operating in the state, the organization would gather at hotels and function halls and host weekly gatherings in private homes. Its official location is presently Krinsky’s residence on Camelot Place in Manchester.

In a recent Executive Council meeting, a contract to sell the state-owned Stark House for $625,000 was approved. The building was built in the 1980s to serve as a transitional program for Sununu Center teens, but it fell out of use.

Krinsky said the purchase was closer to $650,000 with taxes and fees, and the organization will spend an additional $350,000 to renovate the structure.

Originally, the group was raising money for plans to build a new building at a parcel at the corner of Bicentennial Drive and River Road, but it ended up selling the land to the Derryfield School, which is planning on developing tennis courts there in the next few months, according to Krinsky. He said that worked out well because the original building plans were too optimistic.

“The Bicentennial property would have been too expensive and too big, the house

is too small and doesn’t work, and the Stark House is just perfect,” Krinsky said.

“It’s your classic win, win, win. The Derryfield School is happy, the synagogue’s happy and the Stark House people are happy. It doesn’t get better than that.”

Krinsky said the Chabad Lubavitch organization was founded 350 years ago in a Russian village and was spread to the U.S. in the 1940s and ’50s.

“It’s expanded and grown to become the single largest Jewish outreach nonprofit organization of the world, with offices in every state and all six continents,” Krinsky said.

Its new home in Manchester will include a 100-seat sanctuary — the “heart and soul” of the building — with an ark and Torah scrolls.

It will provide educational programs for youth throughout the year and offer a higher-level teaching series for adults as well.

Krinsky said he hopes to have the building ready to open by September or October, but it may take a little longer.

“Certainly, before the end of the year,” Krinsky said.

Political staffer takes charge of NHCUC As of June 1, Mike Vlacich of Concord is the new president and CEO of the New Hampshire College and University Council, a nonprofit consortium of higher ed institutions in the state. Previously, Vlacich was a longtime Democratic political operative.

First of all, can you tell me what it is that gets Mike Vlacich out of bed in the morning?

Well, I’ve grown up in New Hampshire since I was 10 years old, so I’ve lived here for 34 years. I went to UNH and met my wife there. She fell in love with Concord so we went back to my hometown and have had the fortune of being able to live and work in my backyard … pretty much my entire professional career. [I have] two children, ages 7 and 12. … This [new job] is something that I truly enjoy and is an issue area that has been very important to my personal growth and development. … I’m embarking on what is a job of a lifetime.

However, I did, as a young staffer with a lot of hubris ... guaranteed that UNH was going to win the national championship Courtesy photo. against our archnemesis, Maine. ... I sort of came up with this idea that if we won, then Gov. Angus King [of Maine] would have to come to our Statehouse and wear a UNH jersey and would have to pledge his allegiance to UNH. And as an aside I said, obviously, if we lost, we would have to go up to Augusta, I guess, and do the same. Well, the long and short of it is we lost in what was an amazing game in overtime, and the look on her face when we got back to work the Monday after when we had to talk about the logistics of this. … It was sort of an awkward time for a young person trying to make his mark, but she kept me around for years after that and I never lived it down.

Why are you passionate about this?

My dad from Croatia, my mom from Italy. They came here in the late ’50s and then came up to New Hampshire, left our family in New York behind. [They] had nobody up here but they wanted quality of life and the opportunities that came with New Hampshire in the early ’80s. … I was able to go to college for the first time in our family’s history What sorts of things would you like to and ... it just opened my eyes to a whole new world and a whole new set of opportunities. accomplish at the council?

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Record overdoses in June

State authorities say first responders have gone to more overdose calls in June than any other month so far this year, WMUR reported. American Medical Response counted 117 suspected overdoses, 92 of which were in Manchester and 25 in Nashua. Seven of the overdoses were fatal.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Opioid deaths have gone down in Manchester by nearly 30 percent over last year; overdose deaths in Nashua saw a slight increase.

13th most patriotic state

In a new study by WalletHub, New Hampshire was in the top 15 Most Patriotic States, with an overall rank of 13th. While the state ranked only 33rd in the category of military engagement, it was fourth in civic engagement. The study reviewed 13 key indicators including civics education requirements, in which New Hampshire topped the country.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The state was also ranked fourth for percentage of adults who voted in the 2016 presidential election.

CDFA grants

The New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority has granted $3.2 million in community block grants to several organizations throughout the state for infrastructure and housing projects, the AP reported. Some of the projects include building 40 housing units in Exeter, renovating a child advocacy center in Belknap County and connecting a Derry housing development to the town’s wastewater system.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The CDFA is also granting about $750,000 for various economic development projects throughout the state, according to the story.

Water damage

Granite Staters saw severe weather damage in many parts of the state during the first weekend in July, particularly its northern and central regions. In Orford, the storm actually ate away at a road. Because it’s summer, and because these regions are some of the state’s most beautiful, this weather damage affects not only residents but also tourists. According to WMUR, Jellystone Campground in New Hampton had to evacuate 160 to 200 people from 30 campsites, while people staying at Pemi River Campground in Thornton were asked to move to higher ground.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Some vacationers wouldn’t give in to the storm and go home; in North Conway, many camped out in the Walmart Supercenter parking lot instead.

Boaters, FYI

As boaters start their lake hopping, they should be aware of a new law effective this summer intending to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, which hitchhike from different bodies of water via boats and can destroy and disrupt local habitats. The new law requires boaters to clean, drain and dry their boat, trailer and gear before coming in and out of the water. Violators could face fines up to $200. Many of New Hampshire’s bodies of water already house invasive aquatic plants, including milfoil, and some aquatic animals, including the Asian Clam and Chinese Mystery Snail, according to NHPR. QOL Score: +1 Comment: OK, true, this will be a pain for regular boaters, but QOL has seen too many local lakes and ponds harmed by aquatic plants, and the best way to protect them is to prevent the spread.

QOL score: 77 Net change: +1 QOL this week: 78 What’s affecting your Quality of Life here in New Hampshire?

Emptying out the attic of sports thoughts

With all the Celtics and NBA news taking up a lot of space in this column during the spring, a lot of thoughts pile up in the cluttered attic of this sports mind. So it’s time to do a little early summer cleaning to give clear space for things that will pop in there during the summer.

I hate to ask this, but which Patriots team had shorter odds in Vegas to go undefeated — the 2007 team that lost its undefeated season on a catch for the ages, or the 2017 edition? It won’t happen, but I bet it’s 2017 because it has a better defense and is stacked with depth everywhere in the skill positions on offense.

Do you really think Tom Brady can play until he’s 45? Hope he does, but I don’t. I was scarred for life by the quick demise of Y.A. Tittle with the G-Men back in the day.

And, since Coach B is an NFL historian, I bet that cautionary tale played a role in why Jimmy G stayed put this winter.

Phil Jackson was delusional right to the end in New York on the tri-angle offense.

Yes, he won a record 11 titles running it, but the NBA records of disciples using it after leaving the nest in Chicago or L.A. are Jim Cleamons 28-70, Kurt Rambis 41-151, Derek Fisher 40-96. Throw 51-78 with Portland for mentor-inventor Tex Winter and the overall record is 160 and 395, a winning percentage of 28.8. So why was it so successful for Jax? Simple: He had Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant and the other guys didn’t.

Trust me, he’d have won the same 11 with those guys if he’d used the rectangle, octagonal or the weave Stan Spirou came up with this year at SNHU. Just saw the NFL.com’ list of Top 100 players and Devin McCourty’s absence from that list is ridiculous. He is the Patriots defense’s most reliable, versatile, durable

actually thought Mark Bulger was better. Of guys replacing Super Bowl-winning coaches, only the Giants’ Ray Hadley was a bigger doofus than Martz.

As for Terrell Owens falling short, his election to the Incredibly Selfish Knucklehead Hall of Fame will come first. So he has no one to blame but himself.

Speaking of being on the outside looking in at a Hall, Barry Bonds’ admitting he was a “dumbass” to court his controversial image is a good first step to correcting the issue.

With Bonds’ former team shockingly having baseball’s second-worst record, how do you think the year-end exit interview goes between team president Brian Sabean of the Concord, N.H., Sabeans and bonehead minibike enthusiast Madison Bumgarner?

From the Supply Your Own Punchline department: The president and AD are going to the joint, but 91 percent of recently surveyed Penn State alums still believe the university should honor Joe Paterno. What is wrong with those people?

With his team falling apart, think Doc Rivers regrets baling on the Celtics because he didn’t want to do a rebuild? ’Cause guess who’s facing one now, and who’s close to going a lot farther than the Clips ever did with supposed difference-makers Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.

By the way, the Celtics own the Clippers’ first-round pick in 2019. Another good move

by Danny.

If Aaron Judge maintains what he did in the year’s first half, he could be a Rookie of the Year, MVP Triple Crown winner. We would that rank among historical baseball achievements? It goes by Vida Blue and Fred Lynn for sure. Though, I will point out Reggie Jackson had 39 homers at the All-Star break in 1969 and wound up with “just” 47, so there still is a long way to go.

So, so start or not, the Sox will win the AL East by 10 games.

and smart player, not to mention their surest tackler. I agree Malcolm Butler (99) and Dont’a Hightower (93) belong there, but McCourty is better than both. Then there is the disruptive alum Chandler Jones at 83.

Sorry, but due to his inconsistency, he’s not better than Hightower. Also interesting was seeing $14 million man Stephon Gilmore not there, while Butler was.

Can someone please explain why tennis authority John McEnroe was asked to apologize for giving his opinion after being asked to do so about another tennis player on the CBS Morning News? Agree with it, or don’t agree with it, but those demanding such nonsense is one big reason Donald Trump got early traction while running for president, as many people are sick of the PC police.

Jeremy Jacobs just got elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. For what? Winning one measly Cup in 42 years as Bruins owner? Keeping the payroll at a level just high enough to squeeze out a couple of lucrative playoff rounds each year until being forced to spend like everyone else by a salary cap 30 years into his ownership? Being a management hawk when the entire 2004-05 season was lost to a lockout? Or for losing Bobby Orr to Chicago early in his ownership? I know Alan Eagleson had a lot to do with that, but still they’re pretty easy graders if you ask me.

The only way you can justify electing Terrell Davis to Pro Football’s Hall with just four years of note is Gale Sayers. The latter was so spectacular in his injury-shortened career he was still a no-brainer selection.

Ditto for Davis, who averaged an astonishing 149 rushing yards per game over three years while going 7-0 in the playoffs.

I’m OK with Kurt Warner too. With a great start, great finish and weird middle five years with 3-1-6-11-6 TD passes the career was odd for sure. But he won two MVPs and it wasn’t his fault he was stuck with bozo coach Mike Martz, a supposed upcoming “genius” who was so smart he

What’s So Great About These Chairs?

Sports Glossary

Alan Eagleson: First head of the NHL Players Association, who went to the big house for absconding with its funds. As agent to Bobby Orr he withheld a larger Bruins free agent offer, leading to his shocking defection to the Chicago Blackhawks.

Bobby Orr: Class personified, who even New York Rangers fans couldn’t manage to say even one bad thing about. Fortunately, Pie McKenzie and Wayne Cashman were around for that. Pure electricity on the rush, he brought folks to their feet in anticipation of seeing something no one else on Earth could do. A two-time MVP and only defensive player ever to lead the NHL in scoring (twice). I’m not sure who was better, but I do know he’s with the Great One on the NHL’s Mount Rushmore.

John McEnroe: The anti-Orr — rude, crude, loud, profane. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t great, as eight major title wins attest. And if you want to see great tennis, YouTube his 1980 loss and 1981 win at Wimbledon vs. Bjorn Borg — dramatic, intense, enthralling.

Y.A. Tittle: NY Giants QB whose 242 TD passes were most in NFL history. That was fueled by a late-career record-setting binge, where he threw an NFL-record 33 TD passes in 1962, and again in 1963 with 36, when 37-year-old Y.A. was every bit as on top of his game as Tom Brady was in 2016 as the Giants’ went a league-best 11-3. But in 1964 it was 10 TD passes and 22 picks, as they slid to 2-10-2. And with it gone overnight, YA hung up the high-top black cleats for good, just like that.

Summer read recommendations, plus a look at how far libraries have come

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Today’s New Hampshire libraries aren’t the ones from yesteryear, manned by old maids sporting cardigans and horn-rimmed glasses, loud-whispering, “Shh! This is a library!”

They’ve transformed into community centers that offer programming for kids and adults ranging from yoga sessions to cooking classes. Many contain high-tech items like 3-D printers and lend out, in addition to books, things like snowshoes and musical instruments.

Downloadable books About 10 years ago, having a library card got even better, particularly if you have a smartphone or tablet. Just over 200 of the library’s 234 libraries have access to the New Hampshire Downloadable Books Consortium, which you can tap into via overdrive.com or the Overdrive app. The consortium allows card-holders to download eBooks and audiobooks at no charge.

In addition, many New Hampshire libraries offer other downloadable book or streaming services; talk to your local library staff about what they offer.

These Granite State libraries follow a history of trying new things. We house not only the United States’ first public library — the Peterborough Town Library — but also the first state library, which just turned 300.

To commemorate this birthday, Gov. Chris Sununu proclaimed 2017 “New Hampshire’s State Library Year.” Michael York, our state librarian and acting commissioner for the New Hampshire Department of Cultural Resources, has been posting fun facts about state library history via Facebook and Twitter. He wants the anniversary to act as a launchpad for people to appreciate their own libraries. There’s a lot to celebrate.

“With the exception of tortoises, you don’t get a lot of 300-year anniversaries,” York said. “You still have a viable organization providing service to the community.”

NH’s library epicenter

The State Library is located in the heart of Concord next to the Statehouse, where visitors are greeted by a statue of three-term New Hampshire governor John Winant and a sign that states, The First State Library in America: Celebrating 300 Years.

Inside, the space still resembles the place

voted into existence Jan. 25, 1717, by the 27th General Assembly. The main lobby displays portraits of Daniel Webster and Franklin Pierce, plus three “as built” drawings of the building when it first came to be.

(Look closely, and you’ll see the two lamps by the fireplace are the same that stand there today.) The left side of the building used to hold the Supreme Court, but now it’s the genealogy room, regularly buzzing with locals looking up old census records.

This building is the center of the universe for the state’s 234 public libraries.

It contains 600,000 items, including books about New Hampshire or by New Hampshire authors or illustrators, newspaper archives, genealogy documents, government documents and library science materials. Staff provide library services to residents, scholars, visitors, elected officials and public librarians throughout the Granite State, plus workshops to keep librarians up to speed on the most cuttingedge aspects of library science.

“But our major responsibility, for a long time, has been to identify the holdings of the 234 public libraries and many of the academic libraries,” York said.

Sharing resources

Each community in New Hampshire has a library, which in York’s opinion, reflects the state’s “Live Free or Die” attitude.

“There’s a sense of independence here in New Hampshire. And that, to an extent, is characterized by the fact we have 234 communities in New Hampshire, and we have 234 independent libraries with their own administration, their own board of trustees. Many other states have adopted either regional libraries or county libraries, or some variation on that,” York said.

But it can be a struggle for the state’s smallest towns, whose budgets are miniscule compared to those in big cities.

“Seventy-five percent of public libraries serve towns with fewer than 7,500 people,” York said. “Once you get outside the golden triangle — Portsmouth, Concord, Nashua — towns tend to be pretty small.”

One way the State Library tries to alleviate this issue is with its Interlibrary Loan van delivery service; if you want a book, CD or item not owned by your library, your librarian will effect a transaction to borrow the material from another library and have it delivered.

12 State Library logo are on the road five days a week. Some, like Heather Brownell of Whitefield, have been at the job for years.

Her day starts at 5 a.m., and her first stop is to pick the books up at the State Library in Concord, which are in recycling bin-like containers. Then she turns around and heads to North Country libraries.

Each day is different, involving sorting, meeting with librarians and handing over requested titles — which lately have included lots of James Patterson, Nora Roberts and, because it’s summer, kids’ books. The job hasn’t changed much since she began, but the volume has. She typically drives 1,300 miles a week.

“The North Country uses the program a lot because we have smaller libraries up here who can’t afford to buy the newer collections and new authors, and so the Interlibrary Loan program is really helpful for them,” Brownell said.

In November 2014, the State Library also initiated the MakerPlay program, circulating high-tech educational toys (like Snap Circuits and Dash and Dot, which teach circuitry and coding) and 3-D printers to libraries across the state via these vans.

“There’s no way the state library could purchase 3-D printers for everyone, but this sparks a movement,” said Bobbi Slossar, technology resources librarian with the New Hampshire State Library, who thinks offering these items is important to meet modern-day patron wishes. “A few decades ago, you would never imagine going to the library to use a computer … to fill out a resume or do your taxes. The needs of the public continue to evolve, and it’s up to public libraries to really stay on those needs. … They’re looking for ways to expand their roles in the community and become hubs for innovation and technology.”

NH librarians

Sandy Whipple spent a recent Thursday morning building a Little Free Library with patrons in honor of this year’s summer reading theme: “Build a better world.”

“We’re kind of building a better world figuratively and literally here,” said Whip-

ple, the Goffstown Public Library’s adult services and outreach librarian, during an interview at the Girls Inc. workshop, where card-holders were hammering, cutting and drilling — or learning how to.

When finished, the structure would stand at the Liberty House and hold a collection of donated books passersby can take or add to.

It wasn’t Whipple’s only day off-site that week; on Friday, she had to be at Hannaford for a presentation on the Mediterranean diet.

“My job takes me all over the place,” Whipple said. “I might be partnering with Parks and Rec one week and doing a program on Alzheimer’s the next.”

Nicole Prokop, adult services and outreach coordinator with the Concord Public Library, also said it’s important to reach outside library walls; for example, her staff hosts Books and Brews the first Wednesday of the month at True Brew Barista. You’ll also find Concord librarians at downtown events like Market Days.

“We understand that in today’s world, it’s not always realistic to expect community members to visit the library regularly for their information needs. So we do everything that we can to go out into the community, to go to the patrons rather than expect them to come to us,” Prokop said in an email.

Today, New Hampshire librarians are event planners, directors, budget stretchers and tech-savvy, curious individuals.

They need to be able to analyze information to direct the acquisition of materials and programming. Many positions require master’s degrees. And of course, they need to love books to give great book recommendations.

“One of the most important things is, they should be well-read and know what’s being published and what people are interested in,” York said.

Modern libraries are all about room for activities.

Walk into a New Hampshire library today, and you’re likely to find writing workshops,

storytimes, classes on cooking or martial arts, concerts, cupcake wars, plays, puppet shows, makerspaces, film screenings, comic book festivals, TED Talk screenings, fencing demonstrations, juggling performances, hula hooping, mini golf — the list goes on and on.

Presentations tackle every topic you can think of, from tiny houses and fake news to Bollywood and Robert Frost. Whipple said one of Goffstown’s most successful programs is its Human Library, in which people act as “books” and visitors can hear their stories when they “borrow” them for 15 minutes.

“You have to always be open and willing to change directions,” Whipple said. “We’ve never been afraid to try something, and even if we fail ... we’ve learned something.”

The Granite State boasts a history of libraries trying new things. It created the first-ever public library in the United States — the Peterborough Town Library — in 1833. A 2012 study by the Institute of Museum and Library Services ranked New Hampshire first in library programming, visits and staffing per capita.

But one of the most modern changes to New Hampshire libraries is incorporating makerspaces into offerings; Slossar pointed to the Milton Free Public Library, which recently received a grant to build a MakerPlay room, and the Oscar Foss Memorial Library in Barnstead, which purchased Raspberry Pi computers to create a coding club.

As a result, less space is allocated for printed books, though these items are still available online or via Interlibrary Loan. York said one of the most popular developments is New Hampshire’s Downloadable Books Consortium, through which you can download books or audiobooks on your phone or tablet.

The future

The most immediate danger to local libraries is not eBooks or Amazon, but funding in government budgets. The State Library in particular relies on the Institute of Museum and Library Services, from which each state received about $680,000, plus a certain amount based on population.

York said the State Library’s piece of the pie typically equates to about $1.3 million; this is about half of its total budget.

All the money the State Library receives is used to enhance what happens at the local level.

But York isn’t worried about libraries disappearing; they’ll just change, as they always have, to tap into what community members need most.

“In the mid-’80s, VCRs came in and took over home entertainment. What did libraries do? They got into the business of lending VHS tapes,” York said. “Libraries will always adapt to make sure they’re helping patrons get what they want, regardless of what format it’s in.”

ARTS A photographic retirement New Hampshire artist laureate relishes his new role

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

New Hampshire native Gary Samson “just about fell out of his chair” when, this spring, he learned he’d been appointed to be the state’s next artist laureate — but then he realized there was no better time for this to happen.

“When Roger [Brooks] said, ‘You were selected to be the artist laureate,’ I thought, ‘I’m young enough so that I could actually enjoy that!’” Samson said, laughing, during an interview at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, where he’s worked for 30 years.

At the time of his meeting with Brooks, who’s chair of the New Hampshire State Council for the Arts, Samson was preparing to retire from his position as the NHIA photography chair. For decades, he’d worked two jobs — as the University of New Hampshire filmmaker and manager of photography and a part-time NHIA professor — until 2000, when NHIA became a four-year school. Samson felt eager to work on independent projects and sift through decades of negatives.

“I just felt like retiring now was the right thing to do. Some of the students certainly were upset about it, but if you think about it, you can never take care of all the students, because you always have new ones coming in,” Samson said. “I thought, while I still have the energy, I want to have time to photograph.”

Of course, he takes the word “retirement” lightly, particularly with this new artist laureate position. In June he spent a month teaching in Greece with the school’s study abroad program, and later this summer he’ll conduct a variety of workshops NH’s Artist Laureate program Visit nh.gov/nharts

and lead a community-wide photography project in Peterborough. Anything he can do to help promote art in New Hampshire, he’s game.

“Even though I’m not formally teaching, I’m not saying I’m completely giving up teaching. I certainly would make myself available for people who want to learn about photography, especially young people,” Samson said.

Samson learned about the importance of giving back to artists from renowned photographer Lotte Jacobi, a GermanAmerican who lived in Deering from the 1950s until her death in 1990. She was known for her portraits of some of the 20th century’s most extraordinary people, including Albert Einstein, Robert Frost, Thomas Mann, Peter Lorre and Eleanor Roosevelt. When she was in her late 70s, UNH commissioned him to create a film about her.

“I was intimidated by her. Here’s this

woman who spent her life taking photographs of extraordinary people. I was in awe,” Samson said.

Despite this age difference, they became friends, and at the end of her life there were several institutions interested in obtaining her collection, including the Library of Congress, but she offered it to UNH — under the condition she was to work with Samson. He traveled to her home regularly for years creating a catalog of her 47,000 negatives.

“Every time an artist or photographer said, ‘Can I come and visit you?’ or, ‘Can I come show you my work?’ she found time in her schedule to sit and provide advice. … It helped me become a better teacher,” Samson said.

In his own photography, Samson loves telling stories, particularly tales about history and culture. It all started with his 1976 film A World Within a World: The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company

and Milltown, a photographic history of the textile mills and the immigrants who labored in them.

Samson, a first-generation American born and raised in Manchester by French-Canadian immigrants, can remember growing up at a time when he had to hide his cultural heritage; his grandparents worked at the mills, and so did his father.

He was given a very American name — Gary, after Gary Cooper — in the hopes he might avoid the prejudices that were common against French-Canadians at the time.

“People would say, ‘What nationality are you?’ and I would say, ‘What nationality do you think I am?’ They would say English or Scottish, and I just agreed,” Samson said. “When I was a sophomore taking French at Manchester Central … the teacher ridiculed [a French-Canadian student] for talking Canadian French and not what they said was pure French or Parisian French.”

Samson knows some of the things he taught at school will become outdated in a few years because the technology will change, but he feels photography is a universal medium. No matter the language you speak, you can understand a photograph, and the things you have to say with photography or with art will never change.

“What [people] care about is the image, and if it says something, if it moves you in some way. That has to come out of your heart,” said Samson, who also hopes to help other local artists find their voices, no matter their level. “Many of [the NHIA community education students] are professionals, and many of them make a lot of money, but they say to me, ‘Gary, when I come here and take a class … it keeps me sane. This is what feeds my soul.’ I believe there’s creativity and an artist in everyone, and you just have to find out what the outlet is.”

Broadway production opened in 1977 and ran for nearly six years, setting a record for the Alvin Theatre, now the Neil Simon Theatre.

This year’s cast includes Cassidy Green (as Annie), Rob Dionne (as Daddy Warbucks; he’s also the Majestic Theatre artistic director), Deirdre Bridge (as Miss Hannigan), Melissa Ransdell (as Lily St. Regis), Ashley Bush (as Grace Farrell), Nick Kalantzakos (as Rooster), Bruce Gatchell (who co-owns the theater, musically directs and plays President Roosevelt) and Daisy McMahon (as Sandy, reprising her role from six years ELAINE GATCHELL ago). Elaine Gatchell directs.

That night, orphans and other cast members were slowly trickling in for the 6 p.m. rehearsal. Costumes were made and ready to go, and everyone knew their lines and music. The set decorating the stage was practically finished. Elaine Gatchell likes to nail these details down earlier than many other companies.

“I find people act differently and do things differently when they put their costume on,” Gatchell said.

Focus now was on polishing details — costume changes, set changes. Everything’s done by cast members. Backstage activity is choreographed like a ballet — which is how it works in the most professional productions.

“I told them, that’s what they do on Broadway. Even Glenn Close brought on her own chair. It’s very efficient that way,” Elaine Gatchell said.

I find people act differently and do things differently when they put their costume on.

Elaine Gatchell is full of great stories about her theater, the Leddy Center for the Performing Arts, and the picturesque farm it sits adjacent to.

Once, a couple of donkeys escaped, ran down the road and licked actor Michael Coppola’s windshield while he sat at a stoplight en route to rehearsals. Another time, 20 baby goats jumped out of their pens and greeted guests in the theater parking lot before a performance.

“When people stepped out of the cars, the goats loved them! People took photos, and the goats didn’t want to leave. Bruce [Gatchell] had to coax them to the barn with a trail of popcorn. The show started 15 minutes late!” Elaine Gatchell said, laughing, during an interview inside the theater lobby, where there hangs a photo of a cow waiting by the door to buy tickets for their production of Bye Bye Birdie — which is another story.

At the time of the visit, Elaine Gatchell was readying for the company’s next production, Annie, which runs July 7 through July 23 and has its own history of stories. (Elaine Gatchell once followed a car containing the perfect dog to play Sandy to ask the owner’s permission to cast the pup in her play.) It’s the 152nd production for the company, now 43 years old, and the fifth time the Gatchells have produced it.

“It’s a favorite.

Everybody loves Annie. That’s the reason we do it,” said Elaine Gatchell, who sported a black T-shirt decorated with her daughter Mary Gatchell’s name (Mary is a singer-songwriter from New York who has an upcoming concert in Epping).

The musical is based on the popular Harold Gray comic strip and features music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin and book by Thomas Meehan. The original

What began by merging a fireman’s muster with a fall hot air balloon festival has since grown over the past three decades into a four-day weekend family event, with midway carnival rides, a parade, live music, food — and, of course, lots and lots of hot air balloons.

Today, the Hillsborough Balloon Festival & Fair is the product of a joint effort by the Hillsborough Lions Club, the town fire department and the Greater Hillsborough Chamber of Commerce, with proceeds benefitting all three organizations. This year’s event will be held from Thursday, July 6, through Sunday, July 9, at Grimes Field in Hillsborough.

Jessica Anctil, a volunteer organizer of the festival’s vendors and entertainment, said rides will be provided by the Webster-based Miller Amusements. Special “all you can ride” bracelets will be available for $20 during the day on Thursday and Friday.

For live music, groups include the 2nd Time Around Band on Thursday, Full Throttle and the Relic Review Band on Friday, and Tom Dixon on Saturday.

“We’ll have a variety of bands performing every night, mostly a Hillsborough Balloon Festival & Fair When: Thursday, July 6, through Sunday, July 9 Where: Grimes Field, 29 Preston St., Hillsborough Cost: Free admission; some food and activities require a fee Visit: balloonfestival.org

mix of rock and classical music,” Anctil said.

Other non-music performances will be balloon animal skits, children’s shows and more.

The festivities begin on Thursday with a beer tent from 6 to 9:30 p.m., rides and music.

On Friday, the Osram Sylvania 5K Road Race will run at 6:30 p.m. along the outskirts of Grimes Field from Bear Hill Road to River and Preston streets. On the field will be tractor pulls and hot air balloon liftoffs that will begin, weather permitting, around 6 p.m., and a “balloon night glow” after sunset around 8:30 p.m.

Saturday’s and Sunday’s events

get going much earlier, with both days offering something for everyone throughout the day. Balloons are also scheduled to go up in the air on both days, at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., and Anctil said tethered balloon rides will also be available during those times. The cost of a ride is $200 per person and most balloons can hold up to two passengers in addition to the pilot. The length of each ride depends on the day’s weather conditions, according to Anctil.

A pancake breakfast will be held at one of the food tents on both days from 6 to 9 a.m.

“We’ll also have The Balloon Twisters [on Saturday]. … They

basically make balloon animals and then put on a skit to go with them,” Anctil said.

A fireworks display is planned for 10 p.m. on Saturday, with Sunday as the rain date.

The annual antique car show is planned for Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the field, with registration from 10:30 to 11 a.m.

At noon on Sunday, the Hometown Parade will kick off from the Hillsborough-Deering elementary, middle and high schools, which are all about a mile west of Grimes Field, on Hillcat Drive.

“The first division [of the parade] starts up with local area fire trucks and firemen marching,” parade chair Kyle Knapton said. “Then there will also be a huge display of area cars and trucks, followed by the floats built by local businesses and nonprofit organizations.”

The floats follow a specific theme each year and are part of a contest in which judges pick the best. Knapton said this year’s theme is “Live Free and Parade.”

“The idea this year was that instead of making it really strict, we wanted these businesses to showcase themselves and pick something they are great at … to show the town and visitors what they offer,” he said.

Knapton said the parade lasts about an hour before coming to an end at Grimes Field.

Following the parade will be the festival’s first annual pie eating contest on the stage from 1 to 1:30 p.m. and a second performance by The Balloon Twisters from 1:45 to 2:30 p.m.

IN/OUT THE GARDENING GUY

Out of control When good flowers go bad

By Henry Homeyer

listings@hippopress.com

Every garden has a few thugs — nice plants with handsome flowers that somehow get too rambunctious and take over. They can choke out other plants as easily as weeds.

I recently pulled up a lot of beebalm (Monarda didyma). That was tough for me to do because it is such a great flower, and it has not yet bloomed. But it had run roughshod over most of one large flower bed, and it had to be brought under control.

Beebalm likes morning sunshine and soil that does not dry out completely. There is also a native beebalm (Monarda fistulosa) that I’ve seen wild in the Midwest and Rockies.

It is shorter, and has pale lavender colored flowers. It does well in hot, dry locations. Our garden beebalm comes in six or more colors from purple to pink, but it does best out of the hot afternoon sun. It sends roots up to a couple of feet, and because it is tall, it can shade-out and out-compete other flowers. As the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland pronounced, “Off with her head!”

For removing any plant with extended roots, I like the CobraHead weeder. It is curved like a single steel finger, and can be used to loosen the soil under and around weed (or thug-like flower) roots. I gently tug on the flower stem, while loosening the roots. Beebalm, like most plants with long roots, has nodules in the roots. If you break the root, new plant stems will grow from a nodule.

Another difficult plant is Obedient Plant (Physostegia virginiana). What a funny name for a plant that is not the slightest bit obedient. Its roots are problematic because they break so easily, more so than any other plant I know. They send down a tap root that breaks off, even if you have loosened the soil. And it can take over a garden in just a season! I no longer allow it in any of my garden beds, but have moved some to the edge of the woods where deep shade on one side, and lawn on the other, can control it.

All that said, Obedient Plant is a lovely cut flower. It has strong square stems (like mints), and for me it grows up to 5 or 6 feet tall. It lasts well in a vase, with pink or white spikes of many small flowers. I had it in full sun in rich, moist soil, and it ran like crazy!

There is a form of Obedient Plant that has green and white leaves, and it is much more obedient. Like any variegated-leafed plant, this one has less vigor because it has less green chlorophyll to make the food that feeds the roots and flowers. I grow this one, though I find I often need to stake it to keep the flower stems from flopping over.

Another potential thug that I allow in my

Teasel seed heads are great in flower arrangements.

garden is common teasel (Dipsacus fullonum). Hated by corn farmers in the Midwest as an invasive weed, it spreads by seed, not root. It’s a biennial. The first year of its life it does not flower, but produces distinctive long, light-green leaves (often with little wart-like bumps) in a low rosette. The second year it sends up a flower stalk up to 6 or 7 feet tall, and produces a seed head that is like a piece of sculpture.

Individual teasel flowers are very small and a light purple, but they don’t all appear at once. Bees love them! The seed head is very showy, a 2-inch spiny extravaganza that looks great in a vase as a cut flower, or later as a dried flower. I wear leather gloves to pick it, and then rub off the spines on the stems for use in vases.

The key to controlling teasel is to learn to recognize and pull the first year plants. That, and picking the stems with flowers before they distribute seeds. I suppose I will get e-mail telling me how stupid I am for allowing this thug in my garden, but I have been able to keep it under control — and I introduced it 20 years ago! Don’t introduce it to your garden unless you can pay attention to it, and keep it controlled.

Sometimes we make mistakes. We see a well-controlled plant blooming in its pot and buy one (or more). We put it in the garden, and only later decide that it has some bad qualities. It has taken me a long time to realize that it’s great to recognize that a plant is not for me, and then be able to dig it up and toss it into the compost.

I recently needed space for a new plant, and decided that I did not like my Siberian Bugloss (Brunnera siberica). I bought it because I have another species of Bugloss (B. macrophylla) that I like a lot. Jack Frost Brunnera has lovely small blue flowers in spring and low green and white leaves all summer. But the Siberian relative does not stay in a compact mound, and is a bit floppy. So I yanked it in favor of something new.

Call me fickle, but I have limited garden space, and I reserve the right to remove any plant that does not, at least occasionally, cause me to say with glee, “I love that plant!”

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, I thought you would get a kick from these cufflinks. They actually spin. They have a name on the back. It says “Brevete.” I purchased these a couple of years ago at an antique shop. I have always wondered if they were worth what I paid.

So I thought I would share them and see what you think.

Beth from Manchester Dear Beth, You’re right — I love them. How neat is it that they work? I would love to see them in person. Who ever came up with that idea? I have friends who love gambling and would also enjoy them. And I have to say that I have never seen anything like them before.

I’m not sure of the age, and the name is not a maker. It actually is commonly found on French items and means patented. So if there is no other writing it’s tough to tell the manufacturer, but we do know they are French made — my guess would be somewhere in the 1940s. But really that is a guess from appearance.

They could be a bit older but not newer.

OK, now that we said that, you can see that they are very well made and

BARBERING

Dozens of local and regional pilots will convene at the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire in Londonderry, flying their own homemade and antique airplanes in for display.

At the third annual Homebuilt Aircraft Fly-In on Saturday, July 8, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., there will be People’s Choice and Kid’s Choice votes for the best display, as well as opportunities to meet the pilots, participate in interactive workshops and sit in the planes’ cockpits.

Museum Executive Director Jessica Pappathan said the event is meant to be a fun and educational way to expose the lesserknown homebuilt side of aviation, which she said is one of the fastest-growing building segments of aircraft in the country.

“In the past, we’ve focused this event just on homebuilt aircraft, but we’ve since opened it up to all vintage and antique aircraft as well,” she said. “Homebuilt airplanes are typically built in garages instead of in factories and rely heavily on personal skill and craftsmanship. … You have to work on it basically every day for a num3rd annual Homebuilt Aircraft Fly-In

ber of years … and they are allowed to fly as long as they are approved by the FAA.” Planes on display will likely include aircraft spanning several decades, dating back to the 1940s or even earlier.

“We’ll see a pretty wide variety from new to vintage,” Pappathan said, “and a lot of times the pilots who come will allow visitors to check out the inside of the cockpit.”

You can vote on your favorite airplane on display once you arrive, and at 1:30 p.m. the two winners for each of the judging categories will be announced.

There will be several other features going on for the duration of the fly-in inside the museum, including a wing rib building project for kids.

“We’re also going to have interactive demonstrations inside like a fabric-covering demonstrations and riveting as well, which is essentially the mechanical fastening of rivets together in assembling an aircraft,” Pappathan said. “Visitors will be able to watch and learn how an aircraft is pieced together and built and will even get a chance to try it out for themselves.”

The museum will be open regular hours and tours will be available as well. Pappathan said one of the newer exhibits recently donated to the museum on display is an Experimental Aircraft Association biplane they plan to showcase during the fly-in.

Tidewater Catering will be providing food for purchase during the fly-in, and an ice cream truck is also expected to be there.

The homebuilt fly-in has grown into one of the Aviation Museum’s most popular summer events, according to Pappathan, drawing hundreds of visitors. Other upcoming events will include its annual car show on Aug. 19 and its gala and auction on Sept.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

The real deal regarding synthetic oil change intervals The dealer is right. Unless you drive the car extraordinarily hard — like using it as a taxi in Phoenix in the summer — synthetic oil is designed to go about 10,000 miles between changes. Changing synthetic oil every 3,000 miles is far too often.

As mechanics, it takes us a while to catch up with reality. Oil changes used to take place every 1,000 miles. And it took years before mechanics accepted that 3,000 miles between changes was OK. So there’s a lag in acceptance among mechanics that synthetic oils are really far superior to conventional oils.

If you want to be extra safe and err on the side of caution, I’d say you can change your synthetic oil every 7,500 miles, which is the typical service interval for lots of cars anyway. But I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend that most of my customers go 10,000 miles.

While changing it any more frequently than 7,500 won’t harm anything — except your bank account — it’s really not necessary.

So buy a bottle of Wite-Out, Susanne, and keep it in your glove box. And then every time you drive away from an oil change, just change the mileage on the reminder sticker.

Dear Car Talk: I am trying to buy my first car. I decided to save up and pay cash for it. I found a possi-

ble car here in town. It is a 2004 Lexus IS 300 with 64,000 miles. What are your thoughts on it? I went to test-drive it, and it drove well.

The only major repairs that I could see in the future would be a new key fob, tires, brakes and some hail and paint repair. — Rafael It’s a nice car, Rafael. In general, Lexus makes good cars. A Lexus with only 64,000 miles on it should have quite a bit of life left.

However, you don’t buy a used car in general — you buy a specific used car. And you don’t know whether it was driven by a little old lady to Gamblers Anonymous on Sundays, or by her 21-year-old grandson, who took it racing three times a week.

So, how do you evaluate a used car? You have a mechanic do it for you.

Sure, if you test-drive a used car and it squeaks and rattles and thumps and smokes down the road, you can determine it’s not the car for you and move on. But if you drive a car for 15 minutes and it “drives well,” there still could be lots of hidden problems.

And you need to be careful right now, because you’ve probably already fallen in love with this car. You haven’t given it a name yet, have you?

If you’re seriously interested in the car, take it to a mechanic that you choose and trust. If you need help finding one, do a

search at mechanicsfiles.com. You’ll have to pay the mechanic for an hour or two of labor, but it’s well worth it.

Ask him to check everything. Have him check the compression, pressure-test the cooling system, look for leaks, check the brakes, the exhaust system, the steering components, the tires, the suspension and anything else he can think of that’s expensive.

Ask him to tell you everything he finds wrong with the car, which of those items are urgent, which can wait, and what the costs are for each repair. Once you have the whole story, you can decide whether you still want to buy the car. Or you can decide if you want to buy it, but at a lower price because of the repairs it needs. And you can use that list of repairs to negotiate a fairer price.

By the way, buying a car with cosmetic damage, like hail and paint damage, is a great way to save money on your first car.

Not only does it decrease the value of the car, but it’s also the kind of repair that can wait indefinitely, or at least until after you bang it up a few more times while you’re learning to drive — which most new drivers do.

But get it to a mechanic first, and make sure the transmission isn’t full of overripe bananas before you fork over your money.

Dear Car Talk: When I bought my 2011 Toyota Camry, the dealer told me that the synthetic oil didn’t need to be changed so often, say only about every 10,000 miles or

By Ray Magliozzi so. Since I had free service at the dealer initially, I took it there for regular maintenance, and despite what they told me, they kept changing the oil and filter much more frequently than they said was required. I didn’t care, since I wasn’t paying for it. Once my free service visits ran out, I started taking it back to my regular mechanic, who changed the synthetic oil every three months. Since the synthetic oil is more expensive, when my husband asked about this, one of the other guys at the shop told him, “The dealer just wants you to ruin your engine and buy another car!” The head mechanic suggested I could go 5,000-6,000 miles between oil changes, depending on the type of driving. Yet the reminder sticker they put on my windshield is again for 3,000 miles. I pointed out that the mechanic might want us to pay extra, more often, for the more expensive oil changes that aren’t necessary. What’s the real deal with synthetic oil? — Susanne

Navigating the Mortgage Maze How Much Home Can I Qualify For and Afford?

Before you even begin looking at homes, you should find out how much loan you qualify for. Your mortgage professional can guide you through the process.

They will ask you income, asset and monthly expense questions. As you move toward formal pre-qualification, the questions will get more detailed.

There are 2 situations that often come up: 1) I qualify for more house than I wish to pay monthly 2) I think I can pay more than I am qualified for If you are going to pick one I would say #1, but keep in mind you don’t want to be living just to make the mortgage payment. Only you know what your monthly expenses really are, above and beyond what shows up on your credit report, and how much you can afford to pay monthly for your new home.

What program should I consider?

Conventional fixed rate, Adjustable rate, FHA, VA, USDA …There are so many programs today and a good mortgage professional will discuss your situation. How long will you live there? Is your income likely to increase?

Maybe your family size is changing and someone will come out of the work force. These are only some of the factors. Several options should be offered and then discussed as to how best they fit into your plan. There may be restrictions and certain requirements for each. A seasoned mortgage professional can help you review and explain the benefits or drawbacks of each to be sure you select the best program for your situation.

Get Pre-Qualified:

Today most home sellers will only consider you a serious buyer if you’re pre-qualified. In fact, most real estate agents won’t begin working with you if you’re not already pre-qualified. A pre-qualification involves an assessment of your financial situation with a mortgage professional to discuss your options.

Finding Your New Home:

You are now ready to get out there, find your dream home, and start negotiating an offer to purchase. I recommend working with a good real estate agent. One who will not only help you find a property but who will also work with you to structure your offer and negotiate terms to make the home affordable. Once you have a purchase agreement signed and agreed by all parties, you should forward it to your mortgage professional. Having a contract in place now allows you to start the formal mortgage application process.

Now What?

For a no cost or obligation evaluation to determine how you can get a piece of the American dream, please contact me to assist you in navigating the mortgage maze.

FOOD Traditional tastes

Jewish Food Festival returns to Laconia

By Angie Sykeny

News from the local food scene

asykeny@hippopress.com

By Angie Sykeny

You don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy the blintzes, knishes and other traditional dishes offered at the Jewish Food Festival on Sunday, July 9, hosted by Temple B’nai Israel in Laconia.

Now in its 20th year, the festival started as a yard sale fundraiser that included a small selection of food prepared by temple members. Over time, the word got out about how good the food was, and the yard sale evolved into a food festival serving hundreds of people each year.

“Most of the people who come are not Jewish, so they’re either buying and eating this food for the first time or have been coming back here every year to get this food,” festival committee chair Stu Needleman said.

People will have the option of ordering hot meals to eat on site or to go, or ordering pre-packaged frozen meals that they can reheat at home.

The hot menu will include cheese blintzes (Jewish crepes) cooked on the spot, chopped herring and chopped liver, knishes (dumpling stuffed with meat and potato), and a sandwich station with homemade beef brisket and corned beef, pastrami and tongue from Evan’s New York Style Deli of Marblehead, Mass., plus deli barrel half sour pickles for a side.

• Farm fresh cooking: The Culinary Playground (16 Manning St., Derry) will host a “farmer’s market fresh” couples cooking class on Friday, July 14, and Saturdays, July 15 and July 22, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. With instruction from a cooking expert, couples will make their own meal from start to finish that will include bruschetta on garlic crostini with balsamic reduction, seared salmon with a corn and cherry tomato salsa, and a rustic berry crumble. The cost is $155 per couple; BYOB is welcome. Bring plastic containers for leftovers. For more information and to register, call 339-1664 or visit culinaryplayground.com.

• Hill says goodbye: After 76 years of business, Hill Village Store permanently closed its doors on June 30. Located at 26 Commerce St., off of Route 3A, the food market and sub and pizza shop was the only business in the small town — located about 20 minutes north of Tilton — that sold food. “Thanks to all the regulars that kept it fun and interesting,” Gary Fouts, owner for the last 17 years, said via the store’s Facebook page. “End of an era for sure, but everything comes to an end.”

• Art and beer: The theme for the next Currier After Hours event at the Currier Museum of Art (150 Ash St., Manchester) is “The Art of Beer” on Thursday, July 6, from 6 to 9 p.m. Learn about the museum’s outdoor sculptures, make your own art and explore the exhibit “Monet: Pathways to Impressionism,” all while sampling beer from several different New Hampshire microbreweries.

The breweries will include Lithermans Limited Brewing Co. of Concord, Concord Craft Brewing Co. of Concord and Able Ebenezer Brewing Co. of Merrimack. The Currier’s Chef Joe Sylvester will serve his famous pulled pork, and the band Cold Chocolate will perform. This event is free with general admission to the museum, which costs $15 for adults, $13 for seniors 65+ and $10 for students. For more information, call 6696144 or visit currier.org.

The frozen meals will include potato latkes (potato pancake), stuffed cabbage, kugel (noodle casserole), and matzo ball soup.

“There are people who buy several packages and keep them in their freezer so they can eat them whenever they want,” Needleman said. “When you want it, you just heat it up in the oven, and all the oils are contained in it so it’ll crisp right up.”

Additionally, there will be baked goods like rugelach (cookies), strudel, challah (braided bread), Jewish-style cakes and more.

Needleman said the wide selection of authentic Jewish food offered at the festival is not something easily found at local restaurants or markets.

“We aren’t aware of any place in New Hampshire that you can get all the food we produce here on this one day a year,” he said. “It’s a unique combination of foods.”

The temple congregation, which consists of about 70 families, comes together each

year to complete the cooking and preparations for the festival, with some menu items, such as the beef brisket and gravy, being made as early as March.

The dishes are prepared using temple members’ recipes, most of which are traditional family recipes that go back generations.

“These recipes are rich in heritage,” Needleman said. “They conjure up the feelings and emotions of the past and are reflective of history. They have an Old World feel and flavor to them.”

The festival is scheduled to run for three hours, but most years the supply, particularly the frozen meals, doesn’t last longer than two hours, so be sure to arrive early.

“It’s hard for us to judge how fast the food will go,” Needleman said, “Our advice to people is to get there earlier, because it’s not a matter of if the food will be gone, it’s a matter of when.”

Lakes Region brewfest features 30+ breweries

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

The Brew with a View festival is just what it sounds like: a brewfest held in a scenic Lakes Region location, with views of Lake Winnisquam, Lake Winnipesaukee and the White Mountains.

The third annual event takes place Saturday, July 8, at Steele Hill Resorts in Sanbornton and will feature more than 30 breweries and beverage producers from New Hampshire and beyond.

“With the microbrew craze hitting, we thought it’d be fun to have an event where people can experience a wide variety of [beer] offerings, then turn around and enjoy this spectacular view,” the resort’s vice president, Justin Cutillo, said. “It’s one of the best views in the state.”

The festival will have two tents that house brewers and distillers serving samples of their products, and booths for wine tasting. There will be regional and national brewers as well as a number of local brewers including Throwback Brewery, Woodstock Inn Brewery, Stoneface Brew-

ing Co., Redhook Brewery and Canterbury AleWorks; and local distillers Djinn Spirits and Tall Ship Distillery.

“We emphasize the local microbreweries,” Cutillo said. “It’s a great opportunity to go to a single spot and try all these different tasty beverages, some produced within 20 miles of the resort, and get a taste of the beer culture in the region.”

Upon admission, guests will receive a four-ounce tasting glass with which to taste the samples at each booth they visit.

Brewery representatives, and in some cases the brewers themselves, will be pouring

the samples and talking with guests about the inspiration for their product and how it is made.

Most brewers bring three or four beer varieties, which tend toward IPAs and small-batch brews.

“It’s less about the primary and mainstream beers that you associate with that particular brewery,” Cutillo said. “Many will be ones you haven’t seen before, or they’ll be a trial beer, and [the brewers] wants to get a reaction from people before they produce it.”

For even more exclusive small-batch beers, guests can opt for the VIP ticket, which will grant them admission to the festival one hour early and access to beers that won’t be available to general admission ticket holders.

Additionally, there will be sausages, pretzels and other foods that “appeal to the beer drinking crowd,” Cutillo said, catered by the resort restaurant.

The main tent will feature Janet and the Red Heads, a cover band performing classic rock songs, and to the side of the tents, there will be cornhole and other pick-up lawn games for guests to play between tastings.

If you’re looking for a cheap, healthy snack that’s easy to make and easy to eat, trail mix may be just the thing.

On Wednesday, July 12, holistic health and wellness coach Sarah Schmidt will teach a DIY trail mix workshop as part of her Wellness Wednesday Summer Series at Local Baskit Marketplace in Concord.

“We’re trying to inspire people to stay healthy and make healthy choices during their busy summer,” Schmidt said. “Trail mix is a great healthy summer snack to take on the go.”

Schmidt will begin the class by talking about the health benefits of trail mix, how to maximize those benefits by choosing the right ingredients and using the right ratio of ingredients, and how to customize a mix to suit people’s personal tastes.

Then, she’ll walk participants through making a sample batch of trail mix to snack on during the class, and a customized batch to take home.

A balanced, healthy trail mix, Schmidt said, consists of three basic parts: nuts, seeds and add-ins. Participants will create their trail mix using that formula and will have a choice of nuts like cashews, almonds, pecans, walnuts and pistachios; seeds like sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds; and add-ins like dark chocolate chips, fried coconut flakes, raisins and other dried fruit.

“In general, you should have more nuts and seeds than fruit and chocolate,” she said, “but you can experiment with the ratio and add more or less of something until you find a mix that you like. That’s the beauty of trail mix — it’s really simple and customizable.”

Trail mix can be enjoyed any time as a snack or as part of a meal. The protein from the nuts and seeds makes it a great snack to take on a hiking trip or an afternoon at the beach, Schmidt said. It’s easy to store and transport (Schmidt stores her mixes in mason jars) and can typically be stored at room temperature for up to several weeks.

If trail mix isn’t your thing, or if you’re looking for more healthy snack ideas, you can learn how to make your own smoothies at the next Wellness Wednesday Summer Series workshop, happening Wednesday, Aug. 9.

“It will be very similar to the trail mix workshop,” Schmidt said. “We’ll have some smoothie samples, we’ll talk about the health benefits and the formula to use and some different ways of mixing it up.”

Mix #2 ¼ cup walnuts ¼ cup pistachios ¼ cup almonds ¼ cup sunflower seeds ¼ cup goji berries Dash of salt Mix together and store. Makes about 4 to 6 servings.

When Temple resident Rob Caswell was 16, he took his first job five minutes from his home as a dishwasher at Birchwood Inn and London Tavern (340 Route 45, Temple, 878-3285, thebirchwoodinn.com). Over time, he was given more responsibilities in the kitchen until finally he became the main chef. Caswell is celebrating his 10th year at the restaurant, and although he never dreamed of becoming a chef prior to working there, he knows now that cooking is what he wants to continue doing. “I love every minute of it,” he said.

Old England

Acai bowls While I love going out for a smoothie, the $7+ price tag keeps me from treating myself too often — and now that I’ve discovered acai bowls, I’m having the same problem with those. We have a plethora of juice bars, smoothie spots and coffee shops in New Hampshire that make amazing products, but, on the regular, they are pretty hard on my wallet. I’ve mastered a few smoothie recipes to make going out for them moot but I didn’t even realize do-ityourself acai bowls were possible.

Acai bowls are very much like smoothies — a pureed fruit blend (along with other bonus items) — but they come with toppings ranging from coconut shavings to granola. Particularly in the summer, they can be quite amazing, filling and refreshing. Depending on where you get them, acai bowls can be sugar-laden and not at all filling. In addition to the high price tag, their nutritional value (or lack thereof) is another reason to figure out how to make this magic at home. The acai berry is quite good for

you when it stands alone. It’s high in antioxidants, fiber and several other nutrients, but some establishments serve it sweetened or in powder form or often mixed with sweetened nut milk. Beware of such substitutes and look for the good stuff.

So, what is the good stuff? The berry itself, unsweetened. From there, it might be mixed with some unsweetened nut milk (like almond), fruit and many other options.

Really, the sky is the limit. Need it to be a filling meal? Add protein. Want some carbs or crunch? Granola for sure. Craving good fats? Try avocado or peanut butter. It’s wonderfully versatile, and while your favorite smoothie bar may mix it up for you, try my ideas below for a low-cost and high-nutrient-value option.

— Allison Willson Dudas

Option 1: Berry Delish 1 packet frozen unsweetened acai puree (try Trader Joe’s or Market Basket for these) ½ cup frozen blueberries 1 cup packed spinach (can be frozen or not) ¼ avocado ½ cup low-fat or full-fat plain Greek yogurt ½ cup unsweetened almond milk Toppings: granola, berries

(try Trader Joe’s or Market Basket for these) ½ cup frozen raspberries, strawberries or cherries ½ cup unsweetened almond milk 1 cup packed spinach 1 tablespoon nut butter (I love peanut butter but almond would be great) ¼ cup chocolate protein powder (I used Shakeology) Toppings: shredded coconut, almonds, berries

Option 2: Chocolatey Peanut Butter Amaze 1 packet frozen unsweetened acai puree

Blend ingredients in blender until smooth and slightly thick. Add toppings and enjoy!

DRINK

Musical wine

A taste of Z. Alexander Brown

By Stefanie Phillips food@hippopress.com

Most of us know Zac Brown for his music, but he is now part of the wine business as well. This makes sense, as he is the former owner of Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Social Club in Georgia, which closed its doors last year. The site is now Nic & Norman’s, referring to Greg Nicotero and Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead.

Zac Brown is just one of many musicians and celebrities involved in the winemaking business. Some, like Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and the Beckhams, keep their vineyards and wine for personal use only.

Others, like Dave Matthews, Francis Ford Coppola and the band Train, are recognizable on the shelves.

The Z. Alexander Brown wines (there are currently three offerings) are the result of a partnership between John Killebrew, winemaker, and Zac Brown as the proprietor. The wine comes from the northern coast of California, which John calls “some of the finest land in the world for growing grapes,” according to the Z. Alexander Brown website.

I am not sure what the blend on this wine is — I suppose that is why it’s “proprietary” — but I am going to guess that it contains cabernet sauvignon (one of their other wine offerings and a popular grape grown in the area) and possibly some merlot. In any case, I found this wine very pleasant, with fruity aromas and smooth with subtle tannins on the finish. This wine retails for about $15, though you can occasionally find it on sale for less than that. I would recommend it for a social gathering, as it should appeal to a variety of red wine drinkers. It is nice on its own but would also pair well with steak.

I even enjoyed it with grilled chicken and salad.

Appolo Vineyards New Releases & Events Appolo Vineyards in Derry is releasing two new wines this month. The first is their 2015 Dragonfly Red, which some visitors had the chance to try during this year’s Seacoast Barrel Tasting in February. This wine was a bronze medal winner at the Big E Wine Competition. It is predominantly maréchal foch and is aged six months in American oak. It is smoky and soft and has notes of blueberries and blackberries. The grapes in this wine come from the Appolo vineyard in Derry and nearby vineyards in Londonderry.

A release party is being held on Friday, July 14, from 3 to 8 p.m. with Messy

Mike’s BBQ. Families are welcome; there will be a wine sample for each adult but food for guests of all ages.

The second wine release event is scheduled for Friday, July 28, from 3 to 8 p.m. with Stone Oven Catering, when the 2015 Dragonfly White will be released. Guests can enjoy fresh made pizzas, and of course, wine tastings for the adults.

This wine won a silver medal at the Best of New England Wine Competition.

It is described as an off-dry white table wine with hints of apples and pears along with floral notes. I really enjoyed this wine when I tried it back in February. It is a great summer wine. The grapes are sourced the same way as the Dragonfly Red, coming from the Appolo Vineyard and nearby Londonderry.

Appolo Vineyards will also be holding a wine tasting to benefit the Salem Farmers Market on Friday, July 21, from 4 to 8 p.m. This event will raise funds to give vendors the opportunity to win a season of pre-paid farmers market fees. Light hors d’oeuvres highlighting vendors’ products will be paired with a choice flight of wine.

Raffle tickets will be available for purchase on site for baskets featuring fresh locally made goods.

The winery is located at 49 Lawrence Road in Derry, and this is a great time of year to visit. Wine tastings are available Friday through Sunday and on Monday holidays from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information about all of these events and the winery, visit appolovineyards.com.

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Jeff Simmermon, And I Am Not Lying (Comedy Dynamics Records)

Debut comedy album from Simmermon, a standup comic and the producer/ performer behind the same-titled variety show out of the UCB Theater in New York’s East Village. This is his stand-up routine, focused on real-life encounters and ruminations on things, like “fake-ass jobs,” wherein he compares his job to his grandfather’s: “He was a welder for NASA, using the same callused hands he’d used to kill actual Nazis. I edit tweets for a shampoo company.” The most popular bit is when he recalls booking the grindcore band Vomit Fist (two 19-year-old guys and the drummer’s dad) into his regular show, after which things got out of hand when the kids disappeared and dad went “dad” on the whole bar. Told in the mildly paranoid tone of your average hipster dude, Simmermon also goes over a pretty bad dinner he attended with Al Sharpton, kangaroo hunting in Australia and dating for the first time in seven years.

Kenny Shanker, The Witching Hour (Wise Cat Records)

Lots of buzz surrounds this California-born jazz saxophonist, who’s played with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and the Nelson Riddle Orchestra among other resumé bullets. This, his second album as a leader, displays a rare gift for interpreting bop with such depth it’s like getting fitted for a hearing aid.

You could hear a pin drop between his phrases, which often finish off with a casual trilling that’s as warm as the smooth compositions he’s put together with this quintet, which also features the well-rounded talents of pianist Mike Eckroth and guitarist Daisuke Abe, both of whom receive enough solo spaces so as to not sway the focus from Shanker’s sax. The signature move within these tunes is a straightforward, confident march of quarter-notes of various modalities, whether it be blues-ish, better-than-Kenny-G torch (“Saturday 2 AM”), wistful balladry (“Siobhan”) or the usual breed of easy listening (most everywhere else). Amazingly clear voice here. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

• British piano-banjo-electronica nerd duo Public Service Broadcasting have their third album due out any minute, titled Every Valley, a concept album examining the history of the mining industry in Wales, since Ken Burns refused to make a boring 40-hour documentary about it. Come on, I kid; these guys, people think they’re awesome, so let’s find out by listening to the single “Progress.” Hmm, sounds like Tangerine Dream, and there’s Mr. Roboto vocals and lots of boring music. It’s like a mini Ken Burns documentary made of music. How droll.

• Dragonball-Z-haired mud-metal trolls Melvins have been around for 34 years, but they’re way too cool to stop making albums, so their new one, A Walk With Love And Death, is on the way! In case you don’t know, bands like Boris and Tool and Neurosis all think the Melvins are awesome, which means you automatically have to, too, in order to conform to being awesome. “Christ Hammer” is the single, comprising 1970s-radio Paul McCartney guitars in the beginning and then doing some joke Danzig metal. The vocals on the chorus are Broadway-worthy, which is all wrong, meaning it’s awesome.

• Oh no, must we? It’s Broken Social Scene, the Canadian hayloft-indie band that gave great careers to everyone who left the band. Whenever I picture hanging out with this band, I imagine people in skinny jeans with bad Vampira haircuts arguing over whether pinot noir kicks cabernet’s ass, which of course it does, every single time, and then calmly discussing the right way to set up a humane dog-proofing system in the “baby room.” Whatever, maybe you love those guys, hats off to ya, I can’t care anymore, so let’s examine the title track from their new LP Hug of Thunder, due out July 7. Hmm, the beat sucks, like some sort of messy, mellow imitation of Smashing Pumpkins, and then a girl starts singing some good stuff, making it suck less. So, folks, if you like your sucky things sucking less, thank me, you’re welcome!

• Meh, I suppose Haim is OK, you know, the three sisters from Los Angeles with the hipster soft-rock, like their old single “Want You Back” had a cool open-chord riff and was sort of like Wilson Phillips with a side of Mumford & Sons. But don’t despair that they might actually be good, because there’s plenty of time for them to epically fail and just shoot for backgrounding Hot Pockets commercials, so let’s go give their new album Something To Tell You the once over, and the stink-eye, and hope for the worst. “Right Now,” the single — ha ha, listen to that cheesy church organ, what a — wait, the verse is cool, and where’d the brain-damaged guitar buzz come from, and hold it, the chorus is awesome. Verdict: they don’t suck yet (slinks back to dungeon).

New Hampshire’s first Youth Poet Laureate, Ella McGrail, has a strict schedule when it comes to writing.

The recent Portsmouth High School graduate, who plans to study creative writing at Ella McGrail.

Bard College this fall, tries to get pen to paper every day, whether for her poetry collection or her second fantasy novel.

“My goal is to write three pages a day and edit three pages a day. I started a new novel, though I’m not finished my last one entirely, so I’m trying to give both my equal attention — and of course, pick away at my poetry collection,” McGrail said during a recent phone interview.

New Hampshire Poet Laureate Alice Fogel appointed McGrail to the position with Andrew Fersch (who runs The Penn Program, an alternative school McGrail attended for a year) and the Poetry Society of New Hampshire in April, and McGrail will hold it until Aug. 1. McGrail said she was flabbergasted at the proposition, but friends and family weren’t.

“I’ve always got a pen in my hand and am always trying to push my next book to somebody. I never shut up about writing.

They were certainly pleased and supportive, but not terribly surprised. I was probably the most surprised out of anybody,” McGrail said.

But now that McGrail has a summer job as a lifeguard and duties as the state’s YPL, it’s harder to squeeze in time to write in her family’s attic library — her favorite place to jot down words. Instead, she makes do with the variety of notebooks she keeps in different places.

“Wherever there’s a flat surface, I write,” McGrail said. “I don’t believe in writer’s block — I think it’s a myth, an excuse.”

During Pride Week, McGrail lead Teen Beat Night at the Portsmouth Book and Bar. On July 14, she reads at Exeter’s Word Barn with Fogel, and on July 17 she reads poetry on the theme “home” with fellow youth writers at RiverRun Bookstore to raise money and awareness for the state’s foster care system. Several teens were confirmed to read, but she’s looking for more.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn more about what is a very big crisis. There are lots of hopeful and wonderful stories in the state attached to it,” McGrail said.

“I have a couple writing friends I can ask to read [at the event] in a pinch, but I’m trying not to just ask people I know. Part of my position is about getting people to share poetry, and I’m trying not to ask the same people all the time if I can help it.”

Many of her peers are excited about poetry, but some kids struggle getting into it. For them, McGrail advises trying different styles.

“The thing about poetry is it involves the writer telling the truth in a very raw way. … But if you don’t relate to it, it can be hard to get through,” she said. “It can be hard to get kids into classical types of poetry, but I think slam is such a big genre right now — and I think poetry has a very strong future with my generation thanks to slam poetry.”

Come Aug. 1, McGrail will be part of the selection committee choosing the next YPL, whose term spans Sept. 1 through Aug. 31.

“It’s a very flexible position, and I think the next youth laureate should shape it to their own personality and preferences,” McGrail said. “You need to be able to get people excited about poetry. … And I think the best way to do that in this position is to be deeply passionate about your own writing.”

Boy, does Dragon Teeth make me miss Michael Crichton. The author of The Andromeda Strain and the Jurassic Park series, among many other books, Crichton certainly knew how to tell a good story. And like any good storyteller, he didn’t let a small thing like his death in 2008 quiet his voice.

Dragon Teeth takes place in 1876. A young, wealthy and brash college student, William Johnson loses a bet and as a result joins a paleontologist professor’s “bone chasing” summer trip out West. Apparently Crichton is one of those guys who never really grew out of the dinosaur phase. We saw this in Jurassic Park, and his love for those overgrown reptiles continues in this book. The research team travels across the United States to encounter warring Indian tribes and an uncivilized sense of lawlessness not often seen by the dignified delegates from the East.

During the trip, Professor Marsh (who never really seemed stable to begin with) becomes paranoid and blames Johnson for collaborating and spying with a rival paleontologist. Marsh abandons Johnson, who has no other option than to join the rival, Cope, and together they unearth a discovery of historic proportion (hint: it looks like a dragon and has big teeth).

Of course, new discoveries are worth a lot of money in the “old west” and soon Johnson and Cope are pursued by a host of wily characters who would be happy to kill for wealth.

As with all of his other books, Crichton quickly draws you in and keeps you turning the page. He works bits of foreshadowing into the text and drops lines like this one very early on to help the reader quickly move forward: “He might have felt differently, had he known that by late summer, she would be informed that her firstborn son was dead.”

Crichton has a very specific approach to his historical fiction. Not just content to tell a story, this author insists that you learn while you’re on the journey. In Dragon Teeth, we learn about early paleontology, train travel, towns with their own sense of law and order in the far West, and (mis)treatment of Native Americans. He includes historical facts and even, on occasion historical figures, which all help to draw you into the story accepting its fiction as

“possibility.”

“Gambling halls were open around the clock, and provided the major source of revenue to the town. Some indication of the business they did can be judged from the fact that the proprietors paid the city a license ... $600 per year for each table, and each saloon had six to twelve green baize tables going at once.”

Dragon Teeth is a relatively quick read.

As you can imagine, someone who wrote for television (ER) is someone who learned how to write dialogue. In some places in the book there is so much dialog that it actually looks like a script. But — and here’s the sign of a good writer — it doesn’t read that way. Instead you “hear” the voices talk in your head while you read the words. The story becomes very much alive because of the dialog.

This book is not heavy literature. It’s a great tale by a first-rate storyteller, a guy who understood pacing, plot, dialog and action — an author who contributed much to our imagination and who helps to keep our imagination alive long after he is not.

Published by an author who has been dead for nine years, Dragon Teeth was a work in progress that was later discovered

by Crichton’s wife. As a result, there were probably a few hands involved in this novel’s production, but even still, in the end it retains the Crichton stamp of authenticity.

There is no doubt who wrote this book. It is pure Crichton. A— Wendy E.N. Thomas

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Baby Driver (R)

Writer-director Edgar Wright, of Shaun of the Dead fame, offers fast cars and furious heists in Baby Driver, an excellent mixtape with a great movie attached to it.

Baby (Ansel Elgort) is a getaway driver for robbery crews lovingly curated by crime boss Doc (Kevin Spacey). Doc doesn’t use the same mix of criminals twice but he always uses Baby, who can outrun police with skill. In addition to a taciturn nature, Baby is known for his constant wearing of earbuds, which play music to help drown out the tinnitus that is the result of a childhood car accident. Thus does Baby score a robbery and getaway to The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion doing “Bellbottoms” and his coffee runs to “Harlem Shuffle.”

When Baby meets Debora (Lily James), the new waitress at his favorite diner, he finds a fellow music-lover — one of their first conversations is about how few “Debora”-related songs there are and how many songs mention “Baby.” Debora, music and the open road is Baby’s dream for his future but his ties to Doc keep him in a life he doesn’t want and one that, he realizes as he falls for Debora, could put her at risk. This becomes particularly clear during a job with Buddy (Jon Hamm), Darling (Eiza Gonzalez) and Bats (Jamie Foxx), a mix of criminals that quickly proves more volatile and violent than usual.

A story of childhood trauma, violent crime, car chases, sugary young romance and music fandom shouldn’t swirl together into a satisfying smoothie (punctuated with a tart sense of humor) but it does here.

When Baby dances around his apartment, flawlessly blending lip-syncing and signing to his deaf foster dad (DJ Jones), yes, you sense that the movie is showing off.

But awesomeness can get away with a little showing off and this movie is consistent-

ly awesome.

Because music is such a huge part of the movie, I found myself thinking of all the onscreen action — from the car chases to character interactions to scene changes — as choreography, and this movie is as well choreographed as it is scored. (And scored, it’s worth mentioning, not just with great music but also, at just the right moments, with the whine and other noises that Baby apparently hears.) The movie manages to be fun with the way it’s stylized without being silly, and to be stylized without minimizing the violence or the menace.

If Baby Driver has a flaw, it’s that maybe its final moments aren’t as strong as the movie leading up to it, but that is such a high bar that even in its least impressive moments the movie is a solid A. Rated R for violence and language throughout. Written and directed by Edgar Wright, Baby Driver is an hour and 53 minutes long and distributed by TriStar Pictures.

Bay throws all kinds of story at the wall ― including but not limited to a King Arthur retcon, a Megan Fox look-alike, a tween fix-it expert, another world-imperiling Cybertron thing ― but almost none of it sticks. Somehow lost in the crazy mess are the Transformers, which feel like minor characters in this Transformers movie. D-

cess 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. The characters are well-crafted, the dialogue is smart and balanced, the battle scenes are ― have I said awesome enough, yet? ― awesome. A

The House (R)

Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler are parents attempting to raise their daughter’s college tuition money by running an illegal casino in The House, another promising-premise, disappointing-execution comedy.

Scott (Ferrell) and Kate (Poehler) are delighted Alex (Ryan Simpkins) has been accepted to Bucknell, her first-choice college. But they are unrealistically shocked to realize they don’t have the money to send her (a subplot about a town scholarship that is taken away by a corrupt councilman played by Nick Kroll feels like unnecessary plot pile-on). After a Vegas weekend with their sketchy friend Frank (Jason Mantzoukas), Scott and Kate agree to join in his plan to beat “the house” (of “the house always wins”) by being the house. Since Frank’s wife recently left him and took most of the furniture, his house is basically empty and thus the perfect place to create a casino for their bored but financially flush neighbors

in their suburban town.

After a few nights of blackjack and roulette prove successful, the trio invests a little and does, indeed, create a happening night spot, complete with spa and bar. The plan isn’t perfect, of course — Kate becomes hooked on pot, Scott is both repelled by and sucked in to his unintentional reputation as the casino’s violent enforcer, and both parents are bummed that they aren’t spending their final pre-college summer with Alex.

I had high hopes for this blend of concept and cast and there are moments when The House deftly mixes the absurdity of its situation with commentary on suburban life.

(A running fight between women played by Lennon Parham and Gillian Vigman about one’s level of participation at another’s potluck is pretty spot-on.) But these moments are a rare chocolate chip in a whole lot of otherwise bland cookie. The movie never finds its correct speed and never coalesces. The comedy seems to stumble from one scene to the next, leaning heavily on the line-delivery abilities of Ferrell, Poehler and Mantzoukas, without really creating consistent characters or a streamlined plot. C Rated R for language throughout, sexual references, drug use, some violence and brief nudity. Directed by Andrew Jay Cohen with a screenplay by Brendan O’Brien and Andrew Jay Cohen, The House is an hour and 28 minutes long and distributed by Warner Bros.

Despicable Me 3 (PG)

Gru and his yellow minions and adopted daughters are back in Despicable Me 3, a ho-hum entry in this series that seems to have run out of story.

Gru (voice of Steve Carell) and his new missus, Lucy (voice of Kristen Wiig), are still seeking out evil-doers as agents for the Anti-Villain League. Their latest target is Balthazar Bratt (voice of Trey Parker),

Mummy is a standard blah CGI-based villain and the plot is frequently a hash of nonsensicalness and shaky world-building. D Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (PG-13) Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush.

Also Javier Bardem for no particular reason and, playing essentially a rebooted version of the couple from the first three movies, Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario. This movie is not as terrible as I thought it would be. With mildly entertaining action and mod-

erately likeable (or at least not aggressively hateable) characters, the movie falls into that “what movie can we take the whole family to without a lot of argument” category. C Rough Night (R) Jillian Bell, Scarlett Johansson.

This attempt at a lady-centric The Hangover-style comedy makes poor use of its comic actresses (also including Kate McKinnon, Ilana Glazer and Zoe Kravitz). Lacking in comic spark and internal logic, Rough Night is not the dumb, raunchy fun it needs to be. D+

er girls Edith (voice of Dana Gaier) and Agnes (voice of Nev Scharrel) are on the hunt for real live unicorns.

The scenes with Edith, Agnes and their unicorn hunt are probably the most reminiscent of what gave the first movie its charm. It was the girls and their interactions with Gru that gave the first movie its heart and helped to balance the goofiness of the minions and the cartoony capers of the assorted villains. Here, there seem to be too many characters for the movie to han-

dle in one storyline so they spread them out over, like, four or five running stories, leaving Gru to interact primarily with Dru. The result is a feeling of too many plots, each of which is too thin to really stand on its own. C Rated PG for action and rude humor.

Directed by Eric Guillon, Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin and written by Cinco Paul & Ken Daurio, Despicable Me 3 is an hour and 30 minutes and distributed by Universal Pictures.

a Hammer-pants-wearing, moon-dancing has-been who is stuck in the 1980s and has an elaborate plan to get revenge on Hollywood for canceling his TV show. After an attempt to capture him goes wrong, Gru is fired by the do-gooders. His minions happily hope that this means a return to villainy, but Gru, pleased with his new life as a husband and father, says he’s left all that bad-guy stuff behind. (Which then leads the minions to set off on a sort of meandering adventure that the movie cuts away to when it needs goofiness.)

But villainy might not be done with Gru. His long-lost, long-locked brother Dru (also Carell) shows up to ask for Gru’s help in continuing their father’s legacy of villainy. Dru has inherited a bunch of nifty gadgets and vehicles perfect for committing some overly elaborate bad-guy capers. Though Gru is serious about his conversion to the side of the white hats, he decides that a little villain-on-villain crime would be OK (and might get him back with the Anti-Villain League) and sets his sights on Balthazar Bratt.

Meanwhile, in some disconnected plots, Lucy and tweenage Margo (voice of Miranda Cosgrove) navigate their new mother-daughter relationship and young-

A musical moment at a 1950s school dance attended with Hollies cofounder Allan Clarke lit a spark for Nash.

We were walking across an empty dance floor when “Bye Bye Love” by the Everly Brothers came on the speakers really loud, and I had never had any piece of music affect me like that. … I had already been listening to the American Top 40 on Radio Luxembourg, Gene Vincent and Elvis, but [that song] made me want to make music that made me feel like I felt right then.

You take your girlfriend [at the time, singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell] to breakfast, and she buys a vase in an antique store as you’re going back home, and when I get to her home in Laurel Canyon, I said, “hey, why don’t I light a fire and you put some flowers in that A rock legend roaming the streets with vase that you just bought today?” Well, all I a camera attracts less attention than one needed was a chorus, really. might expect.

“I think the ’60s are going to be seen as a very interesting era in history,” Graham Nash said midway through a phone interview.

Clearly, that’s a huge understatement. Nash modestly doesn’t add Courtesy photo. that a lot of attention showered on the decade stems from his artistic contribution — first as a member of The Hollies, then with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Both bands are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The conversation touched on Nash’s influences, solo music (This Path Tonight was released in 2016) and what the future may hold for CSN&Y.

The diversity of his concert audiences inspire him to carry on.

I see a generation thing that is really thrilling to me. I see people that have been friends of our music and have grown up and gotten married and had kids and their kids have grown up and they turned their kids on to our music and I see that generation when I look out at our audiences. I see 70-year-old people standing next to 15-year-old kids.

By age 21, he was already considered a “recognized master” of one of America’s most demanding art forms, but his career took him in other directions, catapulting him to popularity and success in the mainstream of country music. His life’s path has taken him to various musical genres, from where it all began in bluegrass music, to striking out on new musical journeys, while still leaving his musical roots intact.

7TH JOHN RIDLON 8TH CHRIS TAYLOR & CHRIS DICKMAN

SIGNS OF LIFE that have gained the inner ear — they buzz, cease, pause, start, shift, stop, halt, brake, and the whole effect is a nervous polytone curiously disturbing. It’s a good time to walk to work.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) When you buy something in a store, you see it with your eyes and it has a prosaic and sometimes devastating reality. When you order something from Sears, it exists only in the mind’s eye, sugar-coated, triple-reinforced, and surrounded by an aura of light. Check the return policy before you buy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) And of course there is no privacy in rural surroundings, where a man can’t even blow his nose without exciting the community. I thought at first I was going to mind this limelight terribly, this being stared at.... I discovered, however, that the situation was instantly relieved as soon as I acquired the knack of staring back. Good advice.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Television will enormously enlarge the eye’s range, and, like radio, will advertise the Elsewhere. Read a book instead.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) There was a time when only God could make a tree, but now John D. Rockefeller, Jr. can do it too. Do original work.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Dear Henry [David Thoreau]: I thought of you the other afternoon as I was approaching Concord doing fifty on Route 62. … as our goods accumulate, but not our well-being, your report of an existence without material adornment takes on a certain awkward credibility. Have you thought of having a yard sale?

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) A dog, more than any other creature, it seems to me, gets interested in one subject, theme, or object, in life, and pursues it with a fixity of purpose that would be inspiring to Man if it weren’t so troublesome. There is more to life than just that one tennis ball.

All quotes are from One Man’s Meat, by E.B. White, born July 11, 1899.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) I knew a Boston terrier once (he is now dead and, so far as I know, relaxed) whose nerves stayed keyed up from the twenty-fifth of one June to the sixth of the following July, without one minute’s peace for anybody in the family. Stay away from the terrier.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) I had always had two baskets in New York. One said IN, the other OUT. ... Here, with only one basket, my problem was to decide whether it was IN or OUT, a decision a person of some character could have made promptly and reasonably but which I fooled round with for days — tentative, hesitant, trying first one idea then another …. I discovered by test that fully ninety per cent of whatever was on my desk at any given moment were IN things. Now is a time of in-or-out decisions.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) On a summer’s day I may start out down the lane with a pail to pick a few berries for my wife’s piemaking, but there is always the likelihood that I will turn up hours later with two small flounders and a look of profound accomplishment. And no pie.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) … the personal-conduct side of agriculture will never be my forte: I can handle production, but someone else will have to take over the marketing if I am to live through the ordeal. The truth is I am unfit for barter, being of an apologetic rather than an acquisitive nature. Don’t make any deals right now.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) But to return to my man who has foresworn everything but what is good and significant. … Having resolved to be nothing but significant, he is in a fair way to lose his effectiveness. Significance is best just after the fact.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Automobiles, skirting a village green, are like flies

Weird News is forever, but this is my last “News of the Weird” column, as I am now exhausted after almost 30 years in the racket. In this final edition, I remember a few of my favorites. My deep thanks to Andrews McMeel Syndication and to readers, who started me up and kept me going. Y’all take care of yourselves. — Chuck Shepherd

(1995) Chesapeake, Virginia, inmate Robert Lee Brock filed a $5 million lawsuit against Robert Lee Brock accusing himself of violating his religious beliefs and his civil rights by getting himself drunk enough that he could not avoid various criminal behaviors. He wrote: “I want to pay myself five million dollars (for this breach of rights), but ask the state to pay it in my behalf since I can’t work and am a ward of the state.” In April, the lawsuit was dismissed.

(2002) The Lane brothers of New York, Mr. Winner Lane, 44, and Mr. Loser Lane, 41 (their actual birth names), were profiled in a July Newsday report made more interesting by the fact that Loser is successful (a police detective in the South Bronx) and Winner is not (a history of petty crimes). A sister said she believes her parents selected “Winner” because their late father was a big baseball fan and “Loser” just to complete the pairing.

(1996) A pre-trial hearing was scheduled for Lamar, Missouri, on Joyce Lehr’s lawsuit against the county for injuries suffered in a 1993 fall in the icy, unplowed parking lot of the local high school. The Carthage Press reported that Lehr claimed damage to nearly everything in her body. According to her petition: “All the bones, organs, muscles, tendons, tissues, nerves, veins, arteries, ligaments ... discs, cartilages, and the joints of her body were fractured, broken, ruptured, punctured, compressed, dislocated, separated, bruised, contused, narrowed, abrased, lacerated, burned, cut, torn, wrenched, swollen, strained, sprained, inflamed, and infected.”

(1993) In May, Elk River, Minnesota, landlord Todd Plaisted reported that his tenant Kenneth Lane had fled the area, abandoning his rented farmhouse and leaving behind at least 400 tons of used carpeting, at least 10,000 plastic windows from Northwest Airlines planes, and rooms full of sofas, mattresses and washing machines, among other things. Lane told townspeople he ran a “recycling” company, but there was no evidence of sales. A deputy sheriff driving by the farmhouse the year before saw Lane burying carpeting with a tractor and said Lane merely muttered, “I don’t know what to say. You got me. I can’t even make up an excuse.”

(1992) The Philadelphia Inquirer reported in June on the local “Silent Meeting Club,” consisting of several people who gather at various spots around town and make it a point not to speak to each other. Founder John Hudak said his inspiration was his observation that people often feel obligated to talk when they really have nothing to say, such as at parties, and wondered how nice it would be “to have a group of people where you wouldn’t have to talk.”

(1991) In May, Maxcy Dean Filer, 60, of Compton, California, finally passed the California Bar exam. He graduated from law school in 1966, but had failed the exam in each of his previous 47 tries.

(2004) The New York Times reported in February on a Washington, D.C., man whose love of music led him, in the 1960s, to meticulously hand-make and handpaint facsimile record album covers of his fantasized music, complete with imagined lyric sheets and liner notes (with some of the “albums” even shrink-wrapped), and, even more incredibly, to hand-make cardboard facsimiles of actual grooved discs to put inside them. “Mingering Mike,” whom a reporter and two hobbyists tracked down (but who declined to be identified in print), also made real music, on tapes, using his and friends’ voices to simulate instruments. His 38 imagined “albums” were discovered at a flea market after Mike defaulted on storage-locker fees, and the hobbyists who found them said they were so exactingly done that a major museum would soon feature them.

(1999) From a May police report in The Messenger (Madisonville, Kentucky),

concerning two trucks being driven strangely on a rural road: A man would drive one truck 100 yards, stop, walk back to a second truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the first truck, stop, walk back to the first truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the second truck, and so on. According to police, the man’s brother was passed out drunk in one of the trucks, so the man was driving both trucks home (though the success of such a scheme is better imagined if the driving brother has a high blood-alcohol reading, too, which was the case).

(1988) And, from the very first “News of the Weird” column came good ol’ Hal Warden, the Tennessee 16-year-old who was married at 15 and granted a divorce from his wife, 13. Hal had previously been married at age 12 to a 14-year-old (and fathered children with both), but the first wife divorced Hal because, as she told the judge, “He was acting like a 10-year-old.”

(1994) The New York Daily News reported in April on a cellblock fight between murderers Colin Ferguson and Joel Rifkin at the Nassau County jail.

Reportedly, Ferguson (convicted of six race-related murders on the Long Island Rail Road in 1993) was using a telephone and told Rifkin (a serial killer serving 203 years for nine murders) to be quiet.

According to the Daily News source, Ferguson told Rifkin, “I wiped out six devils (white people), and you only killed women.” Rifkin allegedly responded, “Yeah, but I had more victims.” Ferguson then allegedly ended the brief incident by punching Rifkin in the mouth.
