GRANITE VIEWS JODY REESE

Where is the art of the deal?

When Donald Trump ran for president he said on Day 1 he’d fix (repeal and replace) Obamacare. Six months later we’re still waiting.

And success, at least as of Tuesday morning, does not seem likely.

It’s not that a health care bill can’t get through Congress. Many Democrats and Republicans agree that changes are needed and many agree on some of those changes. So what’s the problem?

It’s the president himself. Though he promised to be a different kind of president, one that could strike a deal, he’s turned out to be bad at working the very basic elements of making deals. Deals require compromise and working with the very people who may not want to work with you. Barack Obama was a poor deal-maker. He couldn’t figure out how to get enough Republicans to support his legislative initiatives.

Trump has fallen into the same partisan trap. He even recently tweeted that he actually didn’t want any Democrats voting in favor of his health care bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. It’s that sort of petulance that will continue to make sure little to nothing gets done in Washington. And while for some that’s great news, the president was elected to change things, to drain the swamp. Just as Obama was.

Democrats aren’t required to help and, in fact, are incentivized to work against Trump’s getting anything done. The less he does, the more likely it is that he loses the next election. Obama faced the same from Republicans when he was president.

And yet many who voted for Obama felt let down by him. Let down that he couldn’t get more accomplished. Many of them turned to Trump, who promised to be deal-maker and get things done.

It’s now Trump’s turn to let them down.

But it doesn’t need to be this way.

Trump could, if he chose to, toss aside the big ego, toss aside the childish name-calling and figure out where there is a path to a compromise. I’d bet he’d find it in keeping parts of the current health care bill but finding more market-driven approaches to increasing competition. Medicaid expansion has been very popular with many Republicans and Democrats. Why not look into why this is popular with members of both parties?

Making a deal isn’t about someone winning. It’s about living with less than wanted — but feeling it’s a square deal.

Can Trump get out of his own way and make a deal?

NEWS & NOTES More VA trouble

On Wednesday, July 19, about 4 a.m., the Manchester VA Medical Center, already under investigation for alleged substandard treatment, suffered a “catastrophic mechanical pipe failure” that resulted in flooding and severe water damage inside the facility.

According to a press release from the Manchester VA, the health care services provided on the first and second floors were not impacted but the broken pipe caused serious damage from the third floor to the sixth floor. The Manchester VA said it might be two to four weeks before the facility is back to normal. The facilities impacted include the OR, specialty clinics and mental health services. As a result, all surgical cases were cancelled and veterans will be called to reschedule appointments, if necessary.

In many cases, veterans were redirected to other patient treatment areas. In the meantime, two mobile medical centers and two mobile veteran center vehicles are being deployed to assist the facility. Manchester hospitals, area VAs and other local health care facilities have reached out to assist the Manchester VA. Meanwhile, some politicians have weighed in on the incident, which happened just days after a federal investigation into mismanagement and poor treatment was announced. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said the water damage is “very concerning” and that she has been in contact with the center’s acting director, according to Shaheen’s office. Congresswoman Annie Kuster said she’s closely monitoring the situation, which she said could affect as many as 250 veterans. Sen. Maggie Hassan and Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter also expressed their concern in released statements.

What Catholic Charities will do is offer to help the immigrant obtain a green card or work authorization as long as the victims agree to help law enforcement prosecute their abusers. Catholic Charities has four legal advocates working on 100 similar cases at any given moment, according to the story.

Cutting regulations

Gov. Chris Sununu signed an executive order July 20 that will allow 1,600 regulations from various state agencies to expire, according to a press release from the governor’s office. The move was a major step in accomplishing one of Sununu’s first promises after entering the corner office, which was the elimination of onerous rules and regulations that might be unnecessary. The process began earlier this year when he asked state agencies to review their regulations and make recommendations on which ones to cut. Sununu said in a statement that the effort to cut regulations is a way to help businesses. “When it comes to working with state government, far too many small business owners have to fight to get to ‘yes,’ and that’s not right,” Sununu said. The order also creates a committee tasked with removing more regulations.

Fishermen dispute

New Hampshire fishermen are taking their dispute over a federal regulation to the U.S. Supreme Court. NHPR reported a group of New England fishermen is petitioning the Supreme Court to consider overturning a decision that forces them to pay for their atsea monitors, who are regulators that monitor catches on fishing vessels to make sure they comply with caps on certain species.

According to the story, that can cost the fishermen about $700 per trip. Hampton fisherman David Goethel has been leading the charge against the rule. He previously sued the government over this issue but the case was thrown out.

The New Hampshire Department of Justice distributed $60,000 in federal grant money to Catholic Charities of New Hampshire to help immigrant victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and other crimes, NHPR reported. According to the story, many domestic abuse cases involve Marijuana decrim mail-order brides who end up Gov. Chris Sununu signed a bill

HIPPO | JULY 27 - AUGUST 2, 2017 | PAGE 4

decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana on July 18, along with 27 other bills, according to a press release. The law takes effect 60 days from signing. The Marijuana Policy Project, which has long advocated for decriminalization, said this makes New Hampshire the 22nd state in the country, and the last in New England, to take such a step. “A lot of credit also goes to the House, which has been passing decriminalization bills since 2008,” said Matt Simon at MPP. The bill had strong bipartisan support in both chambers this year and a governor who has been warm to the idea since before he was elected.

The bill changes the penalties for possessing up to three-quarters of an ounce from a maximum of one year in prison and a maximum fine of $2,000 to a civil violation ranging from $100 to $300.

Psych unit

Lawmakers have approved a new rule designed to grant additional protections to non-criminal mental health patients housed at a section of the state prison. NHPR reported the new rule makes it clear that if a patient who is transferred to the secure psychiatric unit at the New Hampshire State Prison for Men objects to the transfer, he has a right to a lawyer and a hearing. Those who do not object will also have access to a free lawyer to have their rights explained to them. Many opponents say the rule shouldn’t be necessary since the practice of sending non-criminals to a prison is itself unconstitutional.

REFUGEE STUDENTS

A herd of buffalo was seen roaming through the streets of Gilford on Tuesday, July 18, after they escaped from a local farm. The AP reported police spent the afternoon corralling the animals until they were all securely back at Bolduc Farm.

A student from Bow High School is planning a screening of the movie Sold at Red River Theatres in Concord on Aug. 24 at 6:30 p.m, the Concord Monitor reported.

The movie raises awareness of human trafficking and viewers are encouraged to donate gently used bras, which will be sent to a nonprofit so survivors can then sell them for a profit.

A program by Southern New Hampshire University that offers college degrees to refugees at refugee camps is expanding from one camp to five. NHPR reported that the program, which launched two years ago in a refugee camp in Rwanda, graduated its first class of 16 students last month and will soon begin offering courses to Syrian refugees in Lebanon and refugee camps in Kenya. The program offers a mix of in-person and online courses as well as local internships. It costs $3,000 per student, but refugee students don’t have to pay. In five years, SNHU President Paul LeBlanc hopes to have programs set up at 20 refugee camps, according to the story.

How a new work requirement might affect recipients

If a work requirement proposal is approved by the federal government, thousands of Granite Staters could find it harder to keep their Medicaid health insurance.

An amendment to the state budget trailer bill, HB 517, included a work requirement attached to expanded Medicaid. Now that the budget has been signed into law, the state must receive a waiver from the federal government to allow such a requirement to be enforced.

Researchers say if such a plan is approved and implemented, it could impact about 30 percent of Medicaid recipients and it would disproportionately affect vulnerable communities.

“We found, like in much of the existing research, about three in 10 Medicaid recipients might be affected by a work requirement and we found that that share is actually similar across rural and urban places,” said Jessica Carson, a researcher at the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire.

The research looks at Medicaid recipients nationwide.

Currently, there are about 52,300 adults enrolled in the expanded Medicaid program, according to Phil Sletten, policy analyst at the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute. If 30 percent of those are affected, that would mean more than 15,600 people could be forced to work more or lose their coverage.

“We’re talking about folks who work some of the year. They either worked part of the year, not 52 weeks straight, or they worked fewer than 20 hours [per week] year-round,” Carson said.

The rules proposed for New Hampshire would require recipients to work a minimum of 20 hours a week each week in the first year, 25 hours in the second year and 30 hours by the third.

Exceptions

116174

HIPPO | JULY 27 - AUGUST 2, 2017 | PAGE 6

Still, Sletten said there are some exceptions to the rule.

“If sufficient private sector employment in not available, then the requirement can be fulfilled with work experience. The example that’s provided in statute is refurbishing of public assisted housing,” Sletten said.

The requirement can also be met with job search assistance, job readiness assistance, vocational training or job skill training.

The recipient would have to meet the same hourly requirement with these programs or a combination of these programs and hours from work.

Carson said the work requirements proposed around the country often disproportionately affect people with less education, women and racial and ethnic minorities. It can also prove difficult for people who are caring for children, parents, spouses or other family members who have disabilities.

In New Hampshire, Sletten said, there would be exemptions for caretakers if a licensed health care professional considers the care to be required and there are no other caretakers available.

Medicaid is offered to caregivers of a child under age 6.

Many expanded Medicaid recipients in New Hampshire are using the coverage to receive substance use disorder treatment, which many treatment providers and advocates say has been a game-changer.

While it’s unclear whether substance use disorder would qualify, exemptions can be granted to individuals on a case-by-case basis if a certified health professional affirms they are temporarily unable to fulfill the work requirements.

There’s also an exemption for folks enrolled in a state-certified drug court program.

The work requirements only apply to “able-bodied adults” as defined by the federal government.

Possible side effects

Carson said the new rules, if approved, would mean an additional administrative cost for the state in order to enforce a work requirement.

“Somebody has to check that. Somebody has to enforce that,” Carson said.

Caregivers with older children may need to start paying for child care.

“If someone is receiving health insurance through [expanded Medicaid] and their child changes in age from 5 to 6 and then they may not be eligible for the exemptions … that may impose some costs on them,” Sletten said.

And, more generally, creating an extra task for poorer people to perform in order to keep their insurance may be more complicated than it seems on the face of it.

“Given that low-income workers regularly face job instability, tracking and approving periods of inconsistent employment could be cumbersome,” Carson said.

If someone fails to get extra work or fill the gap with other programs like job training, they’ll lose their coverage. That, Carson said, could result in the opposite of what the expanded Medicaid program set out to do and result in less employment rather than more.

“People who are in good health are more likely to work and people who work are in better health,” Carson said.

Surrogacy made easier

State’s first surrogacy matchmaking firm has opened

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

A change in state law that has made the gestational surrogacy process simpler has prompted a local agency to start offering matchmaking and legal services.

James Bianco is a New Hampshire adoption attorney who founded Avenues to Surrogacy and helped craft the new surrogacy law in 2014. He said the old law resulted in too much uncertainty.

“New Hampshire has had a surrogacy law for a number of years, but it was somewhat ineffective in that we found that people were very nervous with the existing laws,” Bianco said.

The problem, Bianco said, was that potential surrogates feared being responsible for the child if the intended parents backed out or if there were any health issues with the infant.

And the intended parents feared the surrogate might decide the keep the child as her own.

“Nobody was comfortable with that, because it was unsure,” Bianco said.

He said the new law fixes that uncertainty by requiring a petition be filed with the court by the second trimester that affirms the child belongs to the intended parents. This avoids the protracted court battles that could ensue if a party decided to change their mind.

“We think it’s a step forward. We think that it balances all the rights of all the parties, and it’s fair. And a court gets to approve it, so it’s not just an agreement between the parties,” Bianco said.

He said the law was not modeled after any other state laws and is unique at least on the East Coast.

Background

The work requirement was something the state GOP wanted since the legislature first created its own expanded Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act, called the New Hampshire Health Protection Program.

It was included in the most recent reauthorization of the program, but the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services denied that waiver request. “[CMS] said that these [requirements] would not improve health outcomes or coverage for low-income individuals or increase access to providers. So it wouldn’t further the objective of the Medicaid program,” Sletten said.

But that was during the Obama administration. Now, the Trump administration is widely believed to be friendlier to the idea of a work requirement.

Kristine Pries, the director of the agency, said Bianco had been offering legal services over recent years through Bianco Professional Association, but couples still needed help getting matched with surrogates.

“We found that there was no agency here in New Hampshire to help make those matches,” Pries said.

Only gestational surrogacy is allowed in the state, which involves an embryo from the intended parents. That way, the carriers are not genetically related to the babies.

Surrogates earn anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 per pregnancy depending on factors like how many times they’ve carried in the past and whether they are willing to carry twins.

The agency interviews prospective surrogates to find out what they are willing to do, whether they can be local and whether they are open to having two embryos implanted for twins.

Based on profiles created for parents and surrogates, the agency pairs them up and sets up meetings either in person or on Skype to see if they hit it off.

“The legislators who forwarded this amendment and advocated for it to be in the budget, some of those legislators expressed publicly that they believed that the new administration may be more open to having work requirements in the Medicaid program than the prior administration,” Sletten said.

In the previous reauthorization bill, the continuation of the program did not hinge on the approval of the work requirements.

But it does now. If CMS denies the request again by April 30, 2018, letters will be sent immediately to expanded Medicaid recipients stating the program will end by Dec. 31, 2018.

However, that is the existing sunset date for the program already. The legislature will likely revisit the program and have an opportunity to reauthorize it to extend past that date regardless of the ruling on work requirements.

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Health insurance premiums jumping

In anticipation of rapidly growing premium rates for health insurance in the state, the New Hampshire Insurance Department has taken the first step in applying for $8.2 million in federal funding and creating a reinsurance program in the hopes of stabilizing the individual insurance market. According to a press release from the Insurance Department, the federal exchange on Healthcare.gov faces significant instability from high costs this year and expected high costs in 2018. A state-run reinsurance program would attempt to reduce the likelihood of a dramatic spike in costs by providing about $45 million to help cover high cost claims.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: A reinsurance program might help stabilize the market, but it’s unfortunate that individual insurance prices and going up so much.

Solar rebates on hold

State funding for a solar and wind power rebate program is drying up and officials have responded by putting a moratorium on payouts. The Telegraph of Nashua reported the Renewable Energy Fund from which these rebates originate is expected to have about $3.6 million in fiscal year 2018, but the fast growth and high volume of new individuals and businesses installing solar panels has put a strain on the fund. The state Public Utilities Commission announced it has had to freeze rebates until September, when it will have a better sense of how much money is in the fund and how many projects qualify for rebates.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: The PUC plans to hold public input sessions before any changes are made to the rebate program.

Fantasy football is legal

An estimated 200,000 people follow fantasy sports in New Hampshire, but until now it hasn’t really been clear whether gaming companies were operating legally. Next month it’s all fair game, when a law legalizing all fantasy sports games in the state goes into effect. According to NHPR, under the new law, New Hampshire will regulate these games but won’t make any money from them. A previous proposal would have charged companies an annual $5,000 fee and collected 5 percent of their gross revenue each year, but this law establishes that fantasy sports will not be taxed in New Hampshire.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: According to the story, more than a dozen other states have similar laws in the books, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont.

How Good Is Jimmy G Actually: He certainly looked good in his game and a half. But Matt Flynn torched the Patriots filling in for Rodgers in a 2011 win over Green Bay only saved by an end-of-the-game pick. Then he threw six TD passes vs. Detroit. But he got beat out the next pre-season by rookie Russell Wilson after signing a big free agent deal with Seattle. Ditto for Scott Mitchell — who looked great filling in for Marino in the ’90s but flunked badly after throwing 31 TD passes his first year in Detroit. Not many back-ups who go elsewhere turn into gold. The really good ones, like Rodgers and Young, stay put and it’s the older star who leaves. Since Coach B didn’t trade Jimmy G, I suspect he’s pretty good, because he would have sold high last spring if he was fool’s gold.

Will Brady Eventually Be Forced Out: It happened to Montana in SF, Favre in GB and Manning in Indy — which says no one is safe.

And we’ve seen it done here to Mike Vrabel, Willie McGinest, Adam V and many others.

So Brady will the ultimate test of Coach B’s lack of sentimentality and power in the organization. Because if he wanted to force Brady out, Bob Kraft would have something to say about that.

Will It End Badly: It has for almost everyone outside of Elway. Like with the badly dis-interested Brett Favre, perpetually injured Young, Troy Aikman and Terry Bradshaw or the embarrassingly horrible way it did for Joe Namath in L.A. Also I can’t see him even as a supreme relief pitcher back-up like when Sonny Jurgensen was brought in to save the day on occasion for brain-cramped George Allen in Washington. More likely I see Brady like Montana in KC, or riding into the sunset like Elway with another SB win — maybe after 2017.

What Do They Do Next March: That is the $50,000 question, to which I don’t know what the answer will be at this moment.

So my advice is to savor watching the great Brady, cause it won’t/can’t last forever.

could have brought back. Especially since he’ll still get something significant when/ if he’s franchised and traded next spring.

I also suspect that before letting a potential franchise QB walk he wants to see how good the 40-year-old Brady is. Lastly, it lets Jacoby Brissett develop pressure-free in Year 2 after missing 10 weeks to surgery as a rookie.

The QB Injury Question: Injuries tend to linger with aging players, so that’s something to keep an eye on with Brady. But I do find it interesting that in 17 years he’s missed time just once, after getting hit with the Bernard Pollard curse in 2008, while neither of the two young’ns filling in during the suspension made it through the four measly games. Does that say more about Brady’s savvy or their lack of it?

Can Brady Play Till He’s 45: There’s no question he was better at 39 than at 25, or evidence in arm strength, mobility (actually better) or durability the inevitable slide has begun. But I still don’t see him making it to 45.

Tony Dungy’s Top 5: The folks who believe Brady is the GOAT aren’t going to like Tony Dungy telling ESPN.com his Top 5 Quarterbacks of the modern era (began in 1966) are John Elway, Steve Young, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning and Dan Marino. He took it from the perspective of whom he’d like to face least. The first three created problems with their scrambling ability. Manning and Marino got in because they “didn’t play with a dominant defense.” I would ask, what’s that got to do it with it? And, oh by the way, Brady didn’t have a dominant defense in 2007, had a bad one in 2011, one that was better in 2014 and “only” a pretty good one in 2016. And as peeved as Patriots fans might be, how about San Francisco, as he not only also left out Joe Montana completely, he took Young over him, which to most is blasphemy.

And, hey Tony, where the heck is Johnny Unitas?

Hard to believe, but your New England Patriots opened training camp this week. Seems just like yesterday they were breaking hearts all around Atlanta, along with those of zillions of haters around the country, with the greatest comeback in football history. Maybe sports history. But they’re back already to steal the spotlight from the confounding Red Sox, who’ve had it a mere two weeks after ceding it the Celtics into July.

The obvious reason is the unusual retooling done by Coach B after winning his fifth SB. Normally Super Bowl teams battle player attrition to cap busting contracts or, like 2016 Carolina, get smoked during a hangover season. Others are actually aging teams peaking for a last hurrah before the big slide happens — 2002 Oakland. But Coach B lives ahead of the curve, so he overhauled at running back despite a very productive 2016 by LeGarrette Blount, added beef up front and major speed at wideout and DB while spending big in ways he normally doesn’t do.

All of which will attract quite a bit of attention. But to me, the big story is quarterback. To the surprise of many the brass correctly passed on major offers for Jimmy Garoppolo to keep him backing up Tom Brady. He turns 40 in August — which is also an intriguing story. Throw in the developing Jacoby Brissett and it’s must-see TV no matter who’s chucking it in pre-season.

It’ll probably be a non-story, but I’m curious what he has up his sleeve that most of don’t see, and how it all evolves. So here are some thoughts on the QB situation as camp gets going.

Why Did They Keep Jimmy G: I’m guessing Coach B believes he can win the Super Bowl with either Brady or JG. Thus, that outweighed any bounty Garoppolo

variations of vanilla, fancy cones and where to find all kinds of flavors New Hampshire loves ice cream in all its forms: hard or soft, traditional flavors or trendier tastes, on a cone or in a bowl — and there’s something for everyone at the state’s many ice cream shops. We talked to local ice cream makers to get the scoop on what makes a great vanilla ice cream and why it’s still one of the most popular flavors on the menu. To add some fun to that vanilla — or any other flavor — waffle cones and donut cones can really up the ante. We talked to a couple of shops that make their own about why they’re worth the indulgence. And, finally, we compiled a list of local, independently owned non-chain ice cream shops so you can plan your next ice cream outing.

Different approaches to the classic flavor

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

It’s often considered the most basic flavor, but there’s more to vanilla ice cream than you might think. Between the different methods of making it, combinations of ingredients and types of vanilla used, vanilla ice cream at one shop may taste very different from vanilla ice cream at another.

“Most people consider vanilla very boring, but sometimes it can be the best choice on the menu,” said Roni Vetter, owner and ice cream maker at Jake’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream and Bakery in Nashua.

HIPPO | JULY 27 - AUGUST 2, 2017 | PAGE 12

Vetter says there are two main styles of vanilla ice cream: Philadelphia style and French vanilla.

Philadelphia style vanilla ice cream is made with cream, milk, sugar and vanilla extract or vanilla sugar.

“It creates that good, basic flavor,” Vetter said. “Most kids like it, it’s great for scoop shops that are using it for things like frappes and sundaes, and it’s great for people who have an egg allergy, because there are no eggs in it.”

French vanilla ice cream contains an egg or egg product base, which is cooked custard-style with the milk, cream, sugar and vanilla extract, sugar or beans.

“Some people swear by the French vanilla,” Vetter said. “They’re convinced that it’s a better ice cream because the egg gives it that yellowish or off-white color, and it makes it a little richer with that

heavier texture. There’s a little more fat coating to the mouthfeel of it.”

Once the beans get hot enough to release the vanilla flavor, they’re scraped out of the pot, but often leave the tiny black specks in what’s known as vanilla bean ice cream.

Rick Wolstencroft, ice cream maker at Blake’s Creamery in Manchester, said Philadelphia style vanilla ice cream can also be made into a vanilla bean ice cream simply by sprinkling in ground up vanilla bean casings.

“It changes the texture and it enhances the appearance,” he said, “and it does add some flavor. You actually get some of the flavor from the bean itself.”

Rich Peyser, manager at Annabelle’s Natural Ice Cream in Portsmouth, said the amount of air in the ice cream also plays a part in the texture.

“The more air, the lighter and fluffier the ice cream,” he said. “The egg yolk [in French vanilla] already makes it a little richer and denser, and our ice cream is made with only 40 percent air, so you can’t just lick it; you literally have to chew it.”

A vanilla ice cream can taste different depending on the type of vanilla used. The three most widely used types, Vetter said, are Mexican, Tahitian and Madagascar vanilla.

Mexican vanilla tends to be lighter and sweeter, while Tahitian vanilla has a deeper richness and roasted flavor and Madagascar has a bit of acidity similar to chocolate.

When it comes to vanilla, much of the flavor actually comes from its aroma.

“It sounds weird, but the smell has a lot to do with the flavors that you taste,” Vetter said, “and the aromas [of the different types of vanilla] are each very different.”

Everyday is

30 Item Topping Bar! Another factor that can change the taste of a vanilla ice cream is the ratio of ingredients. Each ice cream maker uses a particular ratio to achieve their desired flavor and texture. Too much of any one ingredient can ruin the ice cream. For example, high amounts of cream can result in too much fat content, making the ice cream taste like “frozen butter,” Vetter said. High amounts of sugar can detract from the natural flavor of the vanilla.

“You want to be able to actually taste the product — the milk and cream and type of vanilla that’s in it,” she said. “If there’s too much sugar, the sugar is all you can taste.”

Delicious as it may be, ice cream with candy pieces, chunks of cookie or brownie or other add-ins can make it difficult to tru-

ly taste the ice cream itself. If you’re an ice cream lover and really want to gauge the quality of a homemade ice cream, a simple sweet cream or vanilla flavor is the best flavor to order.

“I say, always taste the place’s vanilla ice cream first, because it’s the base of so many other flavors, and if it has a really good vanilla, then you know the rest of the flavors will be good too,” Peyser said.

Its simplicity also makes it an ideal accompaniment for birthday cake, fruit pies and other desserts.

“Because it’s so neutral and crisp and refreshing, it enhances the flavors of so many desserts,” Wolstencroft said. “You wouldn’t put a chocolate ice cream on apple pie.”

Creative cones can jazz up your ice cream

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Plain wafer and sugar cones are the gotos for anyone who wants to enjoy their ice cream without a spoon, but for a special treat, waffle cones — especially homemade — can’t be beat.

Made by hand

Hayward’s Ice Cream in Nashua makes its own waffle cones by hand right in the shop.

They’re bigger than regular cones, of course, but Hayward’s Manager John Bourgeois said they also smell better and have a better crunchy consistency.

Regular cones are made like wafers, fluffy and soft, while sugar cones are thin but hard and darker in color. Waffle cones, when made right, tend to straddle the line

between too hard and too soft, and Bourgeois said their fresh-cooked aroma is a strong draw for customers.

They make about 400 to 500 waffle cones each day at Hayward’s, Bourgeois estimates, and they make about 30 to 40 waffle bowls as well.

Jordan’s Ice Creamery in Belmont and Laconia also makes its own waffle cones, and has started offering a new option as well: doughnut cones.

“It’s a cinnamon and sugar doughnut that is crafted as a cone,” Jordan’s Manager Alyssa Best said.

“I think the doughnut cone is really kind of outside-the-box.”

She said both locations receive a fresh delivery of doughnut cones that are sold only on Sundays.

They’re made by Goody Good Donuts in Laconia.

The possibilities are endless with over 50 flavors and 35 mix-ins for millions of combinations!

13 Goods, said he and Jordan’s owner Craig Jordan teamed up to create the cones after hearing that people had seen the doughnut cones online. Jordan approached Parent and asked him if it was possible, and, after about a month and a half of experimenting — what Parent terms research and development — he figured out a way to do it.

He started making them a little over a year ago and makes about 50 to 60 cones, exclusively for Jordan’s for now, for each weekend delivery.

The art of the cone

Making waffle cones and doughnut cones is a delicate process, and getting it just right can prove difficult.

Bourgeois said waffle cones, like waffles, start with the batter.

“We make our batter and we have four waffle cone machines that we crank up every day, every morning,” Bourgeois said.

“It will come out as a flat sheet with the waffle imprint in it.”

They roll these sheets up on waffle cone rollers while they’re still hot and pliable and place them on a cooling rack.

To get it right, one has to strike the right balance with the batter, the temperature on the

waffle iron and the timing for shaping them.

Firstly, Bourgeois said, it’s important not to put too much water or too little in the batter mix (which includes sugar, wheat, cake flour, dried egg and soybean). Otherwise, the color and consistency won’t be right.

If it comes out too light it will be too chewy, and if it comes out too dark it will likely be too brittle.

“You don’t want it looking burnt and you don’t want an albino cone,” Bourgeois said. “We try to go right in between that, where it’s a nice crunch.”

They cook it at just the right temperature for about a minute and pull the sheets off to be rolled into cones.

As for how doughnut cones are made, Parent keeps many of the details close to the chest.

“I just don’t want to give it out too much, myself, because as far as I know I’m the only one who makes them [in New Hampshire],” Parent said.

The basic process involves baking yeast dough wrapped around a cylinder with sugar and cinnamon poured on the outside.

The end result is a sort of spiral of dough roughly in the shape of a cone. Parent said it takes about two to two and a half hours to make a batch of cones.

“They’re kind of crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside,” Parent said. “They hold the ice cream well.”

Getting fancy

While many local ice cream shops don’t make their own waffle cones, they often order plain waffle cones in bulk and fancy them up with their own ingredients. Granite State Candy Shoppe in Concord and Manchester, for example, adds a twist to cones by dipping the tops in melted chocolate and adding sprinkles, walnuts or other things like their own toffee, roasted nuts or toasted coconut.

Manager Tal Smith at Granite State Candy said they call it “fancy dipping.”

“We only do it with the waffle cones just because they interact with the chocolate a little bit better,” Smith said. “We have a chocolate-dipped M&M cone that’s really fun.”

MAA Artist of the Year keeps busy with art shows and antiquing

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

When you’re named Manchester Artists Association’s Artist of the Year, you get to display a painting at E.W. Poore for an entire year. But 2017 award-winner James O’Donnell has a busy summer ahead — he likely won’t choose a piece till September.

During a recent interview at the Carol Rines Center, the Hooksett painter was hanging art for the Manchester Trolley Tour. After that, he’d head to shows in Newburyport, Mass., Portland, Maine, and then MAA’s Art in the Park Aug. 26 in Merrimack. Most free Saturdays and Sundays will be spent scouring antique shops, yard sales and flea markets with his partner for the antiques business they run.

But busy is how he prefers summer. It’s his favorite season, evident in the subjects he paints. He’d much rather keep moving during the warm months, then scoot to his James O’Donnell. Kelly Sennott photo. upstairs painting studio in the winter.

“Somebody pointed out to me — and I water,” O’Donnell said. “I like seeing the never really noticed it — that almost all way the light hits it.” my paintings have some kind of water His paintings in the one-day Trolin there somewhere, or they’re near the ley Tour show on July 20 featured a few beach and water scenes, a rickety old boat inspired by a trip to Prince Edward James O’Donnell Island, and Red’s Eats, an iconic Maine jamesodonnellartist.com food shack known for its lobster rolls.

Though he always considered himself Upcoming NH shows for O’Donnell to be creative, O’Donnell didn’t begin painting seriously until retiring in 2006 at MAA Art in the Park: Saturday, Aug. age 57, at which time he and his partner 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Watson Park, 441 DW Highway, Merrimack, flew to Florida for the winter. On a whim, manchesterartists.com he signed up for a watercolor painting class. He became hooked instantly 2017 Art in the Park: Saturday, Sept. 2, and has since studied at the New Hampfrom 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. shire Institute of Art, the Kimball Jenkins 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Ashuelot School of Art and E.W. Poore. In 2014 he River Park, West St., Keene, monadnockjoined the MAA, and he currently serves areaartists.org as its secretary.

Sometimes, it’s like, I’ll do two paintings and then I’ll sell three. ...

It’s almost like I have to run to keep up.

JAMES O’DONNELL O’Donnell said he loves piling his minivan with paintings and a 10-foot by 10-foot white tent and meeting other artists at art shows. Considering he only began painting full-time 10 years ago,

he’s done very well; it turns out, coastal and water scenes are popular among local art shoppers.

“Sometimes, it’s like, I’ll do two paintings and then I’ll sell three. … It’s almost like I have to run to keep up,” said O’Donnell, whose favorite medium is oil.

“It’s very forgiving. It doesn’t dry very fast, and you can just move it around and change it until it’s right.”

He partially credits the MAA for this success, which currently boasts about 100 members, many of whom he admires for their talent and guidance. They’ve been very giving with advice, through the organization’s monthly meetings and otherwise.

“It does sometimes feel like I’m playing catch-up. I’ll never be as good as the people who started [younger],” he said.

“It’s got some really talented artists.”

“EXPLOSIVE and THRILLING!“

Reminiscing on vinyl The Majestic takes on High Fidelity

Vinyl records are cool again, in real life and onstage via the Majestic Theatre’s latest musical, High Fidelity, which takes center stage at the Derry Opera House July 28 through July 30.

The musical, which hit Broadway in 2006, features music by Tom Kitt, lyrics

by Amanda Green and a book by David Lindsay-Abaire. It follows record shop owner Rob Gordon, a guy in his 30s who’s obsessed with music and spends lots of free time talking with employees and creating “top five” lists of anything that demonstrates their knowledge of the industry.

When his girlfriend Laura leaves him, he decides it’s time to reevaluate his life.

“It was first a book by Nick Hornby, who also wrote About a Boy. It’s a great book. It spoke to me. I was a guy in my mid-30s when it was written,” said Director Mike Wood during a recent rehearsal in the lobby at the Majestic Theatre Studios on Page Street, a new space for the company as of this spring.

The Majestic’s High Fidelity is the New England community theater premiere, with musical direction by Keith Belanger and choreography by Jen Sassak. Tunes range from pop to rhythm and blues, with each song in the style of a different pop or rock artist (like the Beastie Boys, Bruce High Fidelity

Springsteen, Indigo Girls, Aretha Franklin and Billy Joel).

Wood said its songs are catchy — the album hasn’t left his CD player in four months — but because it’s “hard rock singing” it also requires some energy to pull off.

“There’s so much diversity in music,” said Cady Hickman, who plays Laura.

“But I think with how intense some of the songs are and the singing requirements, it takes some getting used to. You’ve got to be high-energy all night.”

Elliot Owens, who plays Rob, wanted to partake because he’s a “huge fan” of Nick Hornby, having read High Fidelity and Juliet, Naked. It’s not your typical romantic comedy.

“It really is about finding your place in the world,” said Owens, who’s also enjoying the large space, whose dimensions closely mimic the Derry Opera House.

“It’s a great space to play in. It’s different from working in something the size of a classroom or conference room. You can really explore, not only your character, but your interactions with others when you’re on a stage. … I think we’ve done a great job of finding a lot of wonderful moments.”

Rehearsals began in early June. Sets are minimal, and costumes are modern garb.

Emphasis is on making the play flow.

“The thing that slows down a lot of musical theater is the 50 million set changes, moving furniture in and out. We try to keep that as minimal as possible,” Wood said. “[Cast] sound terrific. People are stopping by, listening and saying, ‘What’s going on?’ You can feel the excitement.

It’s very much a show that deserves an audience, and I hope they get the audience they deserve.”

A long-standing tradition run entirely by local residents, vendors and volunteers, the Canterbury Fair will return for its 59th year on Saturday, July 29.

Admission is free and visitors can enjoy family-friendly games, races, an antique tractor display, craft and food vendors, a barbecue and more.

“It’s become a really wholesome, feel-good sort of event,” said Kate Luczko, marketing and public relations chair of the Canterbury Fair Committee. “All of the food is prepared by volunteers … and all of the money raised goes to help town funds and residents in need.”

The Canterbury Ladies Benevolent Society had sponsored the annual Canterbury Country Fair and Bazaar for years, but it wasn’t until the group added a chicken barbecue in 1959 that the event started to evolve into what it is today.

The crowds and profits increased dramatically with the new barbecue, which today remains a staple of the event and is presented by the Sunset Mountain Fish and Game Club. As the fair continued to increase in pop59th annual Canterbury Fair When: Saturday, July 29, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Canterbury Fair returns July 29. Courtesy photo.

ularity, it was eventually listed by the National Geographic Society as an outstanding nationwide attraction.

This year’s fair is being dedicated to Olly Fifield, a longtime Canterbury resident who died on Feb. 26 at the age of 90. A large photograph of Fifield will be on display at the announcer’s table, where Luczko said he would always sit.

“He was always an announcer at the fair, and he and his family are very embedded and involved in the community … so we wanted to dedicate the fair to him this year,” she said.

The fair kicks off at 9 a.m. with the Woodchuck Classic 5K Road Race and 2K Chipmunk Scramble Kids Race. Race day registration starts at 8 a.m. and prizes will be awarded to the winners in different age groups.

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. items at the chicken barbecue will be available for $10 per person; this year will include pulled pork and crepes for the first time.

Live music and dance performances will be held throughout the day, beginning at 10 a.m., and this year will include Americana singer-songwriter Tim Gurshin, Mark Hopkins and Friends, Badger’s Drift from the Backtrack Band and Canterbury’s Morris Dancing Team. A full schedule of craft vendors is also planned.

“We’ve got more artisans and more demonstrations this year than last year,” Luczko said. “We’ve got a guy making guitars, we’ve got spoon makers, wood turners … and even a flintknapper, which is an artisan who makes arrowheads, so that’s not something you see every day.”

The annual “What-Not” tag sale, another longtime favorite at the fair, will also be returning. The sale features a wide variety of used books, antiques, crafts and other items.

Brand new wooden fish have been made for this year’s canoe pole fish pond, Luczko said. Kids can try their hand at fishing, as well as enjoy other activities on the green like face-painting, climbing into an antique tractor and meeting farm animals.

The town historical society is introducing a new exhibit to this year’s fair called “A Trip through Time on the Canterbury Railroad” in the Elkins Memorial Building.

Luczko said author Kathryn Grover will be there to talk about the project and about her recently released book on the town’s contribution to the railroading industry.

HIPPO | JULY 27 - AUGUST 2, 2017 | PAGE 28

John Denver introduced me to a Guy Clark song called “Home Grown Tomatoes” with a refrain that goes, “Only two things money can’t buy. That’s true love and homegrown tomatoes.” How true.

Growing disease-free tomatoes is nearly impossible. Usually by this time of the year, gardeners see lower leaves turning yellow and getting spots. Stems turn black early on. Some summers, we only get a few fruits, those tomatoes that started early. Other years we get late blight half way through the season and our plants and fruit turn to disgusting black mush.

So what can we do? According to companies that produce seeds, we can choose varieties of tomatoes that are disease resistant. Breeders using old-fashioned breeding techniques have been successful in breeding resistant hybrids. But some say the flavors are not always as good as the old fashioned heirlooms. I grow both kinds.

This year I am growing Brandy Boy, a hybrid produced by Burpee Seeds, that is supposed to taste as good as the heirloom Brandywine, one of my favorite heirloom varieties, and have improved disease resistance.

I know I like Defiant, a medium-sized hybrid with high resistance to late blight, produced by Johnny’s Seeds. But Defiant does get early blight, which reduces its production. Still, I grow it each year.

This year my tomato plants are beautiful.

Only a few leaves on a few plants showed any signs of yellowing by mid-July. Here are a few things I have done to help prevent tomato diseases.

At planting time I mulched my tomatoes with leaves that I collected last fall. Some fungal disease reside in the soil, and when it rains, or when you water, splash-up sends spores onto the tomato leaves, causing disease. Mulching helps minimize splash-up.

Grass cuttings are good, too.

This year I got a soil drench from Gardeners Supply Co. called “Root Shield.” This is a bacterial powder that I diluted with water and applied to the soil around each tomato.

It is approved for use by organic gardeners.

The bacteria attacks the pathogenic fungi in the soil, minimizing the chance of their getting on the tomato plants.

The other bacterial fungicide I applied is called Serenade, which I also obtained from Gardeners Supply Co. This contains Bacilius subtilis, a broad spectrum bio-fungicide.

It is designed to be sprayed on leaves and stems once a week, before signs of infection are seen. I have sprayed just twice,

Diseased tomato leaves are often a problem.

not keeping up with the schedule, but will.

It’s easy to forget about disease when your plants are disease-free. Once plants are infected, both bio-fungicides are not going to solve the problem.

What else can you do? If you have tomato leaves turning brown, cut them off and put in the household trash, not the compost pile. I did this pretty regularly last year, and I think it helped.

If you get late blight, which basically causes a total meltdown of the plants, quickly bag everything in contractor bags and get everything affected out of the garden. Fortunately, late blight does not survive New England winters. But if you do get it, do not overwinter potatoes, or allow “volunteer” potatoes to grow, as they can carry the blight. Tomatoes and potatoes are in the same plant family.

Fungal diseases often require moisture on the leaves so that fungal hyphae (their root-like appendages) can penetrate the leaves. So do not water at dusk. Water in the morning if possible, and try to keep the leaves dry.

I use a watering wand, not an overhead sprinkler. This is a hand-held watering device — a 30-inch-long wand with a sprayer on the end — that allows me to deliver water around the roots, but none on the leaves. In a normal summer I rarely water tomatoes; my soil stays lightly moist most of the time just with rain. But if we go a week or so without rain, I do water.

Many tomato plants will grow taller until they fall over or are pruned back. It’s better to cut off tall branches and keep your plants supported by their cages or stakes. Cutting back plants allows them to spend their energy making tomatoes, not stems and leaves.

As a gardener I am always optimistic. I think this year’s crop of tomatoes from my 37 plants will be the best ever. But I’ll be happy with whatever I get.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, I have a question about a big flea market in Brimfield, Mass. It is almost three hours away so I am wondering if it’s worth the trip. Do you know anything about it?

Dee from Bedford Dear Dee, Brimfield is actually an antique show, with several events happening over the course of a week. There are vendors that set up all week long and then many others that just do certain days and times for shows.

I will say it is worth the trip. You can find anything there, from fine early antiques to great decorative items. Also, there are lots of vendors from other states and countries with some unusual finds. Some items you don’t find here in New Hampshire easily.The cost can run a bit higher on some things but you never know when you will find inexpensive treasure. It happens all the time.

My advice would be to check out the schedule for Brimfield. You can do that easily online. They just completed their summer dates, but there is another week coming in the fall. I also suggest wearing really comfortable clothing and shoes. The shows are all done on fields so there is a tremendous amount of walking. Bring a sack with you to shop.

I hope you venture down and find treasures. It’s worth the trip!

IN/OUT CAR TALK

What makes some cars last longer than others?

Dear Car Talk: Reading the recent question from Coop about his ‘95 Mini that’s crapping out after 99,500 miles made me wonder why some brands of cars start fallBy Ray Magliozzi ing apart at 100,000 miles, and others (Hondas, for example) trundle along with few problems for 200,000 or even 300,000 miles. — Steve It’s mostly good design and good manufacturing. I remember as recently as 10 years ago, we’d have a Toyota Camry in the shop with 180,000 miles on it, and the engine would be running as quietly as if it had 18,000 miles on it; you might not even know it was running.

And in the next bay, there’d be a Chevy Cavalier with 80,000 miles on it that was rattling like a loose set of false teeth on a cold morning.

Now, all cars have gotten better in the past few decades. It’s important to give credit where it’s due. Overall, all cars are more reliable, better made and last longer than ever.

But some still are better than others. Consumer Reports lists the 10 most reliable cars every year. And in its most recent list, Toyota (which also makes Lexus) took five of the top 10 spots.

Why is that? Well, we know that Toyota long ago decided to stake its reputation on reliability. It made that the top priority. It could have prioritized styling — and if you’ve seen a Camry in the past 35 years, you know it didn’t do that. It could have emphasized exciting performance — and if you’ve driven a Camry in the past 35 years, you know it didn’t do that, either.

What it did do is put a lot of effort into designing parts that last, manufacturing them well and assembling them so that the spaces between the moving parts (called “tolerances”) are tiny. That makes engines run quietly and run longer, since the pieces aren’t knocking the heck out of each other a thousand times a minute.

In some cases, those improvements involved better design and engineering.

In some cases, they involved training and incentivizing employees. And in other cases, they involved spending a little more money on parts or materials.

Other manufacturers had other top priorities. Some focused on performance, some on styling, some on the next quarterly return for their shareholders. Toyota bet that if it could gain a reputation for building cars that were reliable and lasted a long time, it would eventually pay off. And it did.

Now, there still are people for whom reliability is not the first thing on their wish list.

Some are moved more by styling, some by fuel economy, comfort, safety or performance. And some just say, “Screw reliability, I want that cute little Fiat!” And there’s nothing wrong with that. Caveat emptor.

But the reason Toyotas and Hondas have long been leaders in reliability and durability is because they made those things priorities over many years. While others have gotten closer, they’re still working to catch up.

Dear Car Talk: The mass air-flow sensor on my beloved 1999 VW Eurovan camper has been replaced three times, and now it’s gone bad again. The mechanic who looked at it said there was oil on the sensor. What would cause that and what would it cost to fix? — Meredith It sounds like you have an affliction we call “blow-by”: When enough motor oil sneaks by worn-out piston rings and then gets combusted in the cylinders, oily vapors can get blown back into the air-intake area, where the mass air-flow sensor lives. And if you get enough oil on it, you can muck up the sensor’s electronics and cause it to stop working.

If you do have blow-by that’s that serious, an oily air-flow sensor won’t be the only

piece of evidence: Your mechanic would see an oily film all over the air filter, too.

The best-case scenario for you is that whatever blow-by your engine is producing is being exacerbated by a bad PCV valve.

The PCV is supposed to remove combustion gases from the crankcase, and recycle them through the air intake so they don’t build up and blow back. If your PCV system isn’t working anymore, that could explain why those gases, and the oily vapors, are getting blown backward and fouling your airflow sensor. A PCV system might cost you a couple of hundred bucks to repair.

The worst-case scenario is that your PCV system is working fine, which means it just can’t keep up with the massive amount of blow-by your engine is producing. That would mean you’re on a countdown to an engine rebuild. That’s thousands.

If you’re looking for a shorter-term solution, you also could try cleaning the sensor that failed. Normally, they fail because a wire breaks. But if yours is just smothered with oil, you can try using contact cleaner (not the stuff made for your contact lenses, the stuff that cleans electronic contacts) to clean your sensor and see if you can get it working again.

Shooting hoops

Milford basketball tourney and Family Fun Day return

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

M

Pairing Milford’s Family Fun Day and the town’s Summer Basketball League tournament will make for a full day of fun, with basketball games to play and watch, plus bounce houses, a slippery slide, live music, food and more.

Local students ages 10 and up will convene for a friendly competition on the court in Milford for the three-on-three tournament series held in tandem with the town’s 12th annual Family Fun Day, beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 29.

Games are scheduled depending on the ages of the players, and admission to watch each of the games is free.

“We’ve had as many as 200 or more people gather around the court and they have a blast [watching the games],” said Paul Sontag, one of the directors of the league and a pastor at Light of the World Christian Church in Milford, which sponsors the free tournament along with several other local churches.

Sontag said teams are divided by age groups and share the courts at designated times to play. The Milford Summer Basketball League offers opportunities for area middle and high school-age students to participate in organized basketball games and practices throughout the summer. Players registered for the league earlier this year, and five games and five practices each have been held through June and July leading up to the three-onthree tournaments.

“Basically there are A teams and B teams … and it’s a matter of double elimination,” he said. “The A teams are players ages 12 to 14, and the B teams are ages 10 to 12.

Those games will go probably until about noon, and then there will be free food during the lunch hour. The high school players will start their games at 1 p.m. … It’s a great time, all their friends and anyone else can come down and cheer them on, and there are trophies and everything for the winners too.”

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., accompanying festivities will be held at Keyes Memorial Field. Free hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and other food items will be available 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

An information center with each of the participating churches and organizations is also expected to be there, like Community Action for Safe Teens, a wellness program run by the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley.

“The unique thing is we partner with these community organizations to kind of come together,” Sontag said.

“The tournament and the Family Fun Day have become great family-oriented events that are always held on the same day every PAUL SONTAG summer.”

Admission to Family Fun Day is also free and visitors do not have to be Milford residents. In fact, Sontag said the event has become a popular draw for visitors all over the Souhegan Valley.

“It’s definitely not a fly-by-night thing,” he said. “The basketball tournament and the Family Fun Day kind of seem like separate events, but we’ve always combined the two.”

• Food news for Hanover Street: After four months of delay to get the necessary building approvals from the city, Madear’s restaurant has finally opened at 175 Hanover St. in Manchester. Madear’s serves Cajun cuisine and southern comfort food with a focus on tapas and shareable plates. It’s a collaboration between friends Chef Robb Curry, originally from Baton Rouge, and dessert and pastry chef Kyle Davis of Hudson. “I wanted to stick to my roots. This is the food I grew up with and the food I know how to do,” Curry told the Hippo in February. “There are a few Cajun items on some of the menus around here, but a restaurant with an entire Cajun menu and style and that feeling of hospitality and southern love — I don’t think Manchester had that yet.” Call 206-5827 or visit madears603.com.

Craft beer enthusiasts can get a taste of more than 100 brews from 30 local and regional breweries at the Manchester Brewfest, happening Saturday, July 29, along the river at Arms Park.

“You’ll find a lot of variety there. It really runs the gamut,” event coordinator Bill Herlicka said. “If you like beer and like to try a wide range of beers, you’ll have a lot of fun trying out all the different styles and flavors.”

Upon admission, tasters will be given a tasting glass — a Manchester Brewfest commemorative glass for the first 900 tasters and a simple glass for the tasters after that. Brewery booths will be lined up under a beer tent where the brewers or brewery staff will be pouring samples and talking with attendees.

About one-third of the breweries are Manchester Brewfest. Courtesy photo. from New Hampshire; the rest come from around New England and beyond.

“It will range from brand new small to favorites like Stark Brewing, Tuckbreweries like Four Pines out of Hamp- erman’s, Woodstock and White Birch,” ton and Millyard Brewery out of Nashua, Herlicka said.

Brewers will each bring two to four Participating breweries/cideries beers, which may include flagships, seasonals, debuts and small-batch brews that Achelse Safe, Angry Orchard, Ballast can’t be found in New Hampshire or in Point, Beara Irish Brewing, Border Brew, stores.

Candia Road Brewing Co. & Nepenthe Ale House, Champlain Orchards Cidery, Dieu du Ciel!, Downeast Cider, Founders, Four Pines Brewing, Martha’s Exchange, Mighty Squirrel, Millyard Brewing, North Country Hard Cider, Oskar Blue Breweries, Pups Cider, Samuel Adams, Shipyard Brewing Co., Sixpoint Brewery, Smuttynose, Squam Brewing, Stark Brewing, Swift Current Brewing, Traveler Beer Co., Tuckerman Brewing Co., White Birch Brewing, Woodstock

Participating vendors American Flatbread, Donut Love, Gabi’s Smoke Shack, Grab Your Bag Travel, Granite State Growler Tours, Hill’s Home Market, Kettle to Keg, Made With Love 603, Messy Mike’s Barbecue & Catering, Millyard Coffee, New England’s Tap House Grille, Nobl Handcrafted Organic Cold Brew Coffee, One Campaign, Popzup, The Poutine Company, Twin’s Smokeshop

“When I build a beer lineup for a festival, I try to look at it from the perspective of the customer and ask myself, ‘Is this exciting?’” Herlicka said. “And honestly, I have to say, I would be excited. …

It’s a nice treat for people to come and try all these unique beers and beers that aren’t generally available.”

The festival will also feature several hard cider brewers, including North Country Hard Cider of Rollinsford, Pups Cider of Greenfield, Downeast Cider of East Boston, Mass., and Champlain Orchards Cidery of Shoreham, Vermont.

“Cider is up and coming as a category.

The choices are a lot more than they were five years ago,” Herlicka said. “I think having that expansion and the styles of cider will offer more for people to come and enjoy.”

Additionally, there will be 15 food and non-alcoholic beverage vendors selling barbecue, poutine, coffee, donuts and more. Beer-related vendors will include Granite State Growler Tours and Kettle to Keg home brewing supplies.

Proceeds from the brewfest will benefit New Horizons, a Manchester-based nonprofit that provides food, shelter and services for people in need.

“We thought it’d be a great pairing,” Herlicka said, “to raise awareness for New Horizon, and awareness for New Hampshire brewers and what’s going on in the beer scene in New Hampshire.”

mixed berry and ginger, but you can do all kinds of creative combinations like hibiscus and jasmine, apple and cinnamon and others.

To flavor the drink, let the fruits or herbs sit in it for one to two days. After that, it’s ready to drink.

After talking through the process, Kimball will hold a question-and-answer time.

She’ll bring physical examples of kombucha in different fermentation stages and some finished drinks for people to taste.

Then, she’ll send each person home with instructional handouts and a scoby culture so they can start making kombucha on their own at home.

The culture can only be acquired by knowing someone who makes kombucha.

If you can’t make it to the class, Kimball said you can contact her directly to get a culture, or there are Facebook groups in which kombucha makers arrange to share the culture with others.

“When I started brewing it, no one knew what it was, but it’s becoming more mainstream now,” she said. “It’s so beneficial and it tastes so good, people are starting to catch on and take notice.”

Mariah Kimball first tried kombucha a few years ago while she was sick with the flu.

Shortly after, she started making her own, and now she wants to help others do the same.

On Monday, July 31, Kimball will teach a free class at Derry Public Library on The Art of Brewing Kombucha, a fermented black tea Kimball says is known for its unique taste and health benefits, particularly for gut health and digestion.

“I’m passionate about health and wellness, and I know sometimes health things can be overwhelming,” she said, “but drinking kombucha is one thing that is really easy to implement and totally doable for a lot of people.”

The taste, she said, is a cross between juice and soda and is similar to a Twisted Tea, but it has only trace amounts of alcohol.

“It’s kind of fizzy and has a little bite to it, but with that black tea flavor,” she said.

Kimball will begin the class by talking about what kombucha is and the health benefits of drinking it. Then, she’ll talk through the step-by-step process of making it at home.

You start, she said, by brewing black tea and putting it in a gallon container — a pickle jar works well — along with the scoby (the name is an acronym for “symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast”) used for kombucha. Let it sit at room temperature and ferment for about two weeks.

Once that first fermentation period is done, you may choose to add flavor to the kombucha using fruit or herbs. Kimball’s go-to is

Nashua distillery Djinn Spirits is going clean and classic with the release of its new American dry gin, Henry Knox Gin. The gin is the distillery’s first new product since its single malt whiskey was released one year ago. It comes three years after the debut of Djinn’s original Distilled Gin, which owner and head distiller Andy Harthcock says did not appeal to “gin purists” like he expects the new gin will.

“The first gin is very robust, and there’s more flavor to it. It’s very ungin-like. We have a dedicated group of followers who love it … but it’s a good distance away from what a lot of people think gin should taste like,” he said. “We thought this was a good time to address that other market and create a clear and light gin without as much flavor.”

At 45 percent ABV, the gin has a subdued juniper note balanced with the light zest of fresh grapefruit and a base of cardamom and angelica root. It’s produced through a two-week process of triple distillation, carbon filtration and a unique vapor infusion technique that allows Harthcock to fine-tune the balance of flavors for a more complex flavor profile.

“I don’t have to use as many botanicals,” he said. “[The technique] is very effective and efficient at picking up the more subtle

flavors and aromas to create what I think is a more finely crafted product with a nice, well-rounded mouthfeel.”

Unlike Djinn’s first gin, the Knox Gin is simple and neutral enough to be used in nearly any kind of gin-based mixed drink.

It goes best, Harthcock said, with the classics: a gin and tonic or a traditional martini, in which the gin’s delicate blend of flavors can be appreciated.

The gin is named after the American revolutionary Henry Knox, whose logistical skills and knack for strategy helped George Washington win the war.

“He was a behindthe-scenes sort of guy — a simple guy who did what he could do and made a difference,” HarthANDY HARTHCOCK cock said. “So we thought he’d be an interesting icon and took it as an opportunity to play up an unsung hero of the American Revolution.”

Knox Gin is currently available for purchase at the distillery for $33 per bottle. On Saturday, July 29, Djinn will host a release party featuring samples of the gin, free distillery tours, prize drawings and a discount on the gin to $28 per bottle.

Variations of this recipe have been floatTungsten ing around for years, but I decided to make it with what I had on hand. For the bruschetta: dried basil, onion, Roma tomatoes, garlic salt and a squeeze of lemon. For the chicken: Italian seasoning, salt and a squeeze of lemon.

I seasoned the chicken with the Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt, squeezed some lemon juice on top, and tossed it in a resealable bag to marinate for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, I started making the glaze, which mostly consisted of pouring some balsamic vinegar into a pan, scooping in some brown sugar, bringing it to a boil and then letting it simmer until it reduced.

The smell of boiling balsamic vinegar is potent, so I’d make this ahead of time if you’re having company for dinner.

Once I tossed the chicken on the grill, I prepped my bruschetta topping, finely chopping the onions and tomatoes and seasoning with basil, garlic and a squeeze of lemon. With the chicken nearly finished, I topped each piece with a slice of provolone cheese and let it melt before removing the chicken from the heat. The bruschetta mixture went on top of the chicken and cheese, and the balsamic glaze was the perfect finishing touch on it all.

This dish was savory and sweet, with a burst of freshness from the onion and tomatoes to offset the char from the grill.

Overall, it was simple, pantry-friendly and delicious.

— Lauren Mifsud

Bruschetta Chicken w/ Balsamic Glaze

Meanwhile, over medium heat, add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is reduced by about half, about 15 minutes.

Remove chicken from refrigerator and drain excess liquid. Grill over medium-high heat, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Top each piece of chicken with a piece of provolone cheese, if desired, and let stand until cheese melts.

While chicken is cooking, prep bruschetta topping. In a small bowl add onion, tomatoes, basil, garlic salt and a squeeze of lemon juice; toss to combine. Spoon generous servings of the bruschetta topping over each piece of chicken. Before serving, drizzle with the balsamic glaze.

Toss to coat and put in a resealable plastic bag, in the refrigerator, for at least 30 minutes.

I’ve been writing this column for more than five years, and while food trends and fads have come and gone, one thing has remained constant: the simplicity of pantry ingredients.

While pantry ingredients may typically be simple, they can be transformed into some delicious dishes. This recipe, for example, is very basic, but the combination of dried herbs and other seasonings, along with a sweet and savory glaze, turns it into an impressive meal.

I imagine I’ve made something similar to this over the past few years, but this was the first time I tried my hand at making a balsamic glaze. I’m not a huge fan of balsamic vinegar, but add a little sweetness and I’m sold. Before looking it up, I imagined balsamic glaze to be something that would take more time or more ingredients than I had, but I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Balsamic glaze came together using only two very pantry-friendly ingredients: balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. That’s it.

I’m foolish. I should have been making this glaze for years to drizzle on everything from chicken and salads to bruschetta and grilled veggies. Now that I know how simple it is to make, balsamic glaze is going to be popping up on my dinner table more frequently.

I was so excited to try the glaze that I couldn’t decide what to serve it with. So I opted for a combination of a couple of things that I knew it would pair well with: grilled chicken and bruschetta.

I have a love-hate relationship with summer brews. On the one hand, the typical “summer wheat beer” can be light, crisp and refreshing and usually features a reasonably subtle citrusy burst — think Samuel Adams Summer Ale. But on the other hand, summer brews can be overly tart, overly sweet and downright syrupy — I’m not naming names, but you know who you are.

Simply put, when it’s hot out, most people want a lighter beer, though perhaps not a light beer. (There is a distinction.) People typically want a beer with a little less alcohol and they want the beer to essentially “scream summer.” That last piece is what gets us the array of unique fruity-flavored summer brews.

For instance, my wife recently tried and loved New Belgium Brewing’s Juicy Watermelon Lime Ale. Admittedly, upon hearing the name, my first thought was “that’s a glass full of nope.” But the brew is refreshing, crisp and definitely not overly juicy. That’s also my personal take on not judging a book by its cover.

In summer, we want crisp and refreshing beer. If there are notes of lime or blackberry or watermelon, great, as long as those flavors are not overpowering and not too sweet. I happen to think most craft beer enthusiasts do not want a summer beer that clings to the back of their throats and refuses to let go. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Thankfully, there are plenty of New Hampshire-made brews to quench your summertime thirst.

Here are five New Hampshire brews I’m planning to enjoy this summer: Soggy Donkey is a Brett White India Pale Ale (IPA) by Throwback Brewery in North Hampton. At 7.1-percent alcohol by volume (ABV), it is a bit stronger than some might prefer for a summertime beer, but the juicy IPA is decidedly summery with its notes of orange peel, coriander What’s in My Fridge Trillium Brewing Co. Summer Street Double IPA: Trillium has become a destination in Canton, Mass., and the Summer Street Double IPA is a big reason why.

This brew is very much in keeping with the New England-style IPA: big, juicy, hazy, hoppy, yet eminently drinkable. Long lines can be part of the Trillium experience, and I’ve noted before my opposition to waiting in line for beer, but a lot of craft beer enthusiasts say this is a brewery worth waiting for.

and chamomile. According to Throwback Brewery, it has a funky nose with a “slightly earthy tang.” A good choice for the IPA-lover in search of something a bit different this summer.

Busty! Farmhouse Blonde by Burnt Timber Brewing in Wolfeboro is another higher-alcohol summery offering featuring a medium body and a “slightly sweet honey-wheat malt character.” I know I said people usually want something lower in alcohol during the summer, but we have to break some rules. Admittedly, I’ve never tried anything from Burnt Timber, but I know people who have and they can’t stop singing its praises.

Thaizenheimer is an “offbeat and unusual hybrid” from the Portsmouth Brewery, which is brewed with ginger, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. Portsmouth Brewery says this is a “refreshing summer wheat beer.” Perfect. Sounds like a beer for the beach.

The Gooseberry Wit by the Flying Goose Pub in New London is a light blonde summer ale brewed with gooseberry puree.

The brew has a subtle tartness, which I appreciate. Also, the Flying Goose Pub has a special place in my heart as I got “stuck” there waiting out a snowstorm a couple years ago — not a bad place to be stuck.

SummaLIME is an India session ale by 603 Brewing in Londonderry boasting juicy West Coast hops and fresh lime. I’m intrigued. I think you should be too.

Here’s one more: Budweiser. I forget sometimes Anheuser-Busch is located right in Merrimack. Don’t be afraid to just have a Bud. Jeff Mucciarone is a senior account executive with Montagne Communications, where he provides communications support to the New Hampshire wine and spirits industry.

POP CULTURE

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Jelly Roll Morton, Dr. Jazz (DigiMusic Records)

Digital release of one of the master’s early hits, the title track being more an example of Morton’s early New Orleans jazz freestyle methodology than the more complex things that came later, when he began feeling more comfortable as an actual composer of the stuff.

Recorded with his Red Hot Peppers in 1926, that song is a bouncing, joyful cacophony that Dixieland bands still play today, with soloists all going off at once over a nominal rhythm. It’s joined by 20 other tracks that play to Morton’s bigger strengths, such as 1925’s “Black Bottom Stomp,” with the same crew getting downright classical in complexity while still maintaining a regular-joe accessibility. I’ve heard slightly better recordings of Morton, some of them astonishingly clear; these tunes haven’t been gussied up that much, but the innovation, of course, is crystal clear. Morton was an early (if not the first) inventor of jazz itself, writing blueprints that made the jobs of soloists infinitely more fun. Any exposure to the guy is worth your time. A — Eric W. Saeger Max Bouratoglou, Idle Intuition (Sony/Red)

Upon finding out that this kid’s only 16, yeah, I felt a little rickrolled by his voice, which is basically Huey Lewis without the club baggage. He’s from Brooklyn, where he was mentored by his mom’s friend Ken Stringfellow, he of the Posies, Big Star, R.E.M. and anyone else with a checkbook, so the foundation is definitely there, and his songs are OK if not astonishingly brilliant. But what do you expect from a kid who wrote leadoff track “Contagious” last summer while he was at camp (repeat: at camp)? Who knows, maybe he grows up to become the next Stringfellow, producing and sidemanning and whatnot, but for now there are signs this could all work out, and at least he won’t be a Bieber, with Huey Lewis oatmeal like “Contagious” and an obvious nod to Coldplay on “Strangers.” Of course, for all I know I’ve been had, and this was a bunch of cuts by The News that never made it to vinyl. First time for everything, you know? A- — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases

• Phlegmatic upper-middle-class wine-snobs Arcade Fire, what have they been up to rock ’n’ roll-wise, while the world has gone trap and dubstep and Eskimo-punk? I don’t care myself, but I’m sure there are plenty of fans of this band who want to know the 411 deets with regard to Everything Now, their new album. Some peeps want to know if there will be accordion and fiddle on this album, to which I reply, “Yes, but what else could they possibly do to enrage me?”

Now, this isn’t to say that Arcade Fire’s bovine brand of barnyard neoAOR wouldn’t be just the ticket for someone who would have been the kid digging on Lawrence Welk when everyone else was digging on Jimi Hendrix; I’m just trying to help. Oh, what’s the use, where’s the single, oh, here it is, the title track. Fade open to weird, woozy glitch, who cares. Segue into mellowed-out Talking Heads with Grizzly Bear falsetto as a side dish just like everything else they do. The drums are from the Love Boat disco theme song. Win Butler looks more like Neil Young than ever. Barf. You’re on your own from here.

• Second Wind, the new album from Illinois-born 20something folkie John Dennis, will drop on July 28. I only mention this because it’s a highlighted choice in my PR stream, like, when I went to look this guy up, there was a hapless excuse for a website, mostly centered on pictures of this dude trying to look like a Woodstock hippy (he has a brown leather vest. A vest.) and some blah-blah-blah about the rich doctor who discovered him and how he’s going to be the next Dylan or Paul Simon or whatever, the same thing your aunt said about her son after he made a recording of some stupid song and put in on Soundcloud. But sure, maybe this dude is the next Sufjan Stevens and I’d be remiss in not putting on my ace reporter fedora and critiquing the single “Miss America.” It’s Dylan-style choo-choo train music.

He sounds a little like Dylan, but sanitized. Lyrics include “I’ve got loansharks on my tail and a bachelor’s degree.” Awesome, hah?

• I’ve tolerantly subjected myself to the dulcet (metal) tones of Atlanta indie (totally metal) band Manchester Orchestra previously, so I didn’t take news of the approach of their new album, A Black Mile to the Surface, as a necessarily unpleasant thing. To me, they’re a cross between Queens of the Stone Age and Kings of Leon with Les from Primus singing politely. Where have they been for the past three years? Mostly doing the soundtrack to a Daniel Radcliffe indie movie called Swiss Army Man, a disturbing comedy that’s like Weekend at Bernie’s except gross. The new single, “Gold,” is like Mumford and Sons meets Conor Oberst. It’s OK, not great.

• Finally we have ancient rock god Alice Cooper, with his new LP Paranormal! Will there be cool stuff like “Didn’t We Meet” and whatnot, like the olden days, or just a half-cocked mess of Lita Ford wannabes playing Flying V guitars and a visit from some shock-horror dingbat like Rob Zombie? Yes, let’s check it out. Here’s a single, “Paranoiac Personality.” Hmm, it’s slow and slithery, and then some menacing singing, then a hook that’s all stale and lifeless. At least no Rob Zombie, there’s that. — Eric W. Saeger

Maine author and illustrator Chris Van Dusen has loved drawing since he was a kid, when his preferred subjects were aliens, robots and monsters.

So it’s fitting that his latest book, Hattie & Hudson, published in May by Candlewick Press, features a gigantic sea beast that resembles a mix between the Loch Ness Monster, an elasmosaurus (water dinosaur) and a Labrador retriever (a breed he says has “the most expressive eyes”). Some early sketches were too goofy, some too scary. But more important than the illustrations is the story behind them.

“It’s a book about not judging by appearances,” said Van Dusen, who reads the book at Gibson’s Bookstore Saturday, July 29, at 11 a.m.

Hattie & Hudson follows the unlikely friendship between a girl, Hattie, and the town’s lake monster, Hudson, who’s stirred by her singing and lured to the surface for the first time in decades. The townspeople are terrified of Hudson, so Hattie only visits in the middle of the night — until the two decide to concoct a plan in hopes of showing everyone his true, kind nature.

Van Dusen said the location was inspired by the lake he spent summers on as a kid in southwestern Maine, where his family swam, boated, water skied and snorkeled, and where he always imagined a monster lurked deep beneath the surface. He also referenced the lake near his home in Camden, Maine, to create the underwater paintings.

“I love painting underwater scenes,” he said. “Everybody thinks underwater is blue because that’s what they see when they see a lake, but if you’re snorkeling, you can see a lot of the lakes in Maine or northern New England have this olive-y green color.”

Many readers have commented the one in Hattie & Hudson resembles Lake Winnipesaukee. Others have told him the story’s message — on acceptance and sticking up for those who are different — is timely, considering the recent travel ban.

Van Dusen’s the author and illustrator of many, children’s books, including The Circus Ship and Randy Riley’s Really Big Hit; some of his best-known titles are the ones he illustrated for the Mercy Watson series

with author Kate DiCamillo.

“When I write a book, my criteria is very simple. I just think to myself, is this a book I would have enjoyed when I was 6 years old? … Does it have the adventures and the characters that would have sparked my imagination?” he said. “I can’t remember what I had for dinner last night, but … I have this deep recollection of things from my childhood, and that helps when I’m writing children’s books.”

The paintings are done in gouache and rendered tightly with detail. One illustration, when the monster emerges from the water a second time, has no words at all, requiring the reader to tip the book vertically. This page used to have text, until he and his editor decided it was more dramatic without. The first draft of this book was also written in verse, like all his others.

“I tried to work in the rhyme, but it seemed forced. I finally realized it was the tone of the story. All my other books are much more humorous, and this isn’t quite as funny,” he said. “I was trying to force a whimsical rhyme on a book that really wanted to be taken more seriously.”

Hattie & Hudson is also his first picture book with a female protagonist. This is mostly due to something he heard when he first began writing — that girls will read books with boy protagonists, but boys are more reluctant to read those with girl protagonists.

“I’m not sure that’s 100 percent true, but I think there is some truth to it. When I grew up, you didn’t find boys reading Nancy Drew. They were reading The Hardy Boys,” Van Dusen said. “It did sort of scare me a little bit. I didn’t want to lose half the population [of readers].”

But during school visits, kids kept asking him, where are the girls in his books? And so finally, he created this brave little girl named Hattie. Since its release, he’s seen many young boys at signings, which he’s happy to see.

“I’m proud of this story,” he said. “I think it’s sort of an adventure with a really nice message.”

TIME TO RELAX! Whether you’re relaxing after a long day in the comfort of your backyard hot tub or if your use is purely therapeutic, we have the hot tub that is right for you. We carry the following brands of spas & tubs:

iconic Indian chief in the “Keep America Beautiful” commercials (you will be dismayed to learn the teardrop was made of glycerin, not sorrow). Also we learn a lot about Sears, which once dominated the world of retail and, in addition to its Chicago tower, used to have its own radio station, WLS, which stood for world’s largest store.

Also, Rushin conveys a bit of knowledge useful for trivia games: that the creator of the Pringles can (or at least his ashes) is interred in one.

There are cameos from every corner of the 1970s here: Scooby and Shaggy, lemonscented Pledge, Johnny Carson and Carnac the Magnificent, Tahitian Treat, Certs with Retsyn, and Topol, “the smoker’s tooth polish.”

To read Sting-Ray Afternoons is to be cast back in time to a world in which smoking was something to be emulated and half of Americans freely admitted to littering. It is a window onto another world that most people living today either cannot fathom or have forgotten. Take, for example, Rushin’s description of one particular recess in first grade, in which children play “King of the Mountain” in the school parking lot: “The older boys throw the younger and smaller boys off the top of the snow hills. A routine repeats itself for twenty minutes: I ascend to the summit, get dwarf-tossed off by a fifth grader, and begin to make another icy ascent of this parking-lot Everest.

The air is thick with flying children. We are frightened, thrilled, adrenalized, alive — sliding down on the fronts of our furfringed parkas like penguins.”

In the few schools that still have recess today (in Rushin’s childhood, recess was a mind-boggling twice a day), if this scene had occurred in 2017, children would have been expelled, teachers would have been fired, and lawyers would be salivating over new work.

You will love Rushin’s family, most of all his father, who once announced that he was taking his sons to buy underwear but then took them to see Jaws. You will also love Rushin’s descriptions of his father, such as this one, about the time of the first moon landing: “The men on the moon, and the colonies to follow, will surely need Scotch brand recording tape for all their magnetic tape needs. Don Rushin, a magnetic-tape salesman, who is also a magnetic tape salesman — behold, the power of the hyphen! — might one day add the moon to his sales territory.”

Steve Rushin makes us behold the power of the memoir. You don’t have to have been alive in the 1970s to enjoy this one, but it helps, as does a long attention span. B+ — Jennifer Graham

Sting-Ray Afternoons, Steve Rushin (Little, Brown and Co., 323 pages) For anyone who grew upOriginal in From Manchester’s the 1970s, Steve Rushin’s new Auto Glass Company memoir, Sting-Ray Afternoons, is your childhood as lived by someone else. For everyone else, it’s history as history should be recorded: throbbing with life and with humor.

Rushin, a longtime sports writer, grew up in a family of seven in Bloomington, Minnesota, son of a natureaverse salesman and a mother who wielded cleaning supplies like weapons. “Mom might not have torn the hole in our ozone layer on her own, but she substantially enlarged it with her Cool Lime fumigations of the bathroom,” Rushin writes.

His memoir of childhood has been compared to Jean Shepherd’s In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash, from which the classic movie A Christmas Story was derived.

It doesn’t quite rise to that level, if only because in Rushin’s chapter on Christmas he bizarrely recites the entire index of a Sears catalogue, beginning with accordions and ending with zithers.

While this might be useful for some future historian who needs to know what people purchased in the 1970s, it seems a waste of two perfectly good pages that could be better spent on original thought.

That and the length of book work against it. Taken sentence by sentence, Rushin’s prose enthralls, but the book feels long, which is never a good thing. Halfway through, I started wishing the ’80s would get here already, and 14 pages of color photographs in the center seem bewilderingly self-indulgent.

Rushin, however, is a gifted storyteller and humorist who says the point of boyhood is “to look and act as old and as hard-boiled as possible against all evidence to the contrary.” One way to do that was to possess the Sting-Ray, the “bewitching” bicycle, with handlebars shaped like an oversized V, that came in what Rushin calls “candy-shop colors” — Flamboyant Lime, Kool Lemon and Radiant Coppertone.

The bike, designed by a Schwinn employee who took his inspiration from curved fins of the namesake fish, was a hit the first year it hit the market, 1963. Seven years later, the Sting-Ray and its imitators, called hi-rise bicycles, dominated the market, becoming the status symbol du jour of the 12-and-under set for whom bike ownership was synonymous with freedom.

Rushin skillfully weaves the history of things into his own memories. We how the Sting-Ray came to be, but we also get an education on such disparate things as the 3M Company (for which Rushin’s dad sold eighttrack tapes), the Weber kettle grill and the

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Dunkirk (PG-13)

either a comedy or a lady-buddies movie, but it is a solid entry in both genres that succeeds by playing it straight down the middle. B Rated R for crude and sexual content throughout, pervasive language, brief graphic nudity, and drug material. Directed by Malcolm D. Lee with a story by Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver, Girls Trip is two hours and two minutes long and distributed by Universal Pictures.

British and other Allied soldiers await evacuation from France by sea, with the German army on its way, in Dunkirk, a “you are there” approach to this moment during World War II from Christopher Nolan.

The movie follows three stories: men stuck on the beaches at Dunkirk trying to find a spot on a boat; a small civilian boat crossing the English Channel to join the naval evacuation effort, and pilots sent out as part of the limited air cover for the evacuating soldiers. The stories unfold in different timelines (explained with onscreen text) — a week with the men on the beach, a day with the boat and an hour with the pilots. We bounce between the three plots, which, at points, intersect.

At the beach, lines of scared, exhausted soldiers wait to get on a limited number of ships. We follow soldiers played by Fionn Whitehead, Aneurin Barnard and others as they look for a way onto a boat.

At sea, the owner (Mark Rylance) of a small boat, his son (Tom Glynn-Carney) and his son’s friend (Barry Keoghan) set sail for Dunkirk (Navy officers are about to requisition the boat but Rylance’s character is determined to be at the helm). Soon they find themselves fishing men out of the water and facing enemy fire from the air.

In a dogfight with that enemy are Farrier (Tom Hardy) and Collins (Jack Lowden).

They are two of a relatively small number of planes covering the ships crossing the channel and the men on the beach.

Back on the beach is Navy officer Commander Bolton (Kenneth Branagh), who we go to for the state of the situation: the sudden pause in the German advance is the main reason the Allies have not yet been overrun; the geography of the coast is making evacuation difficult; Churchill is just hoping to evacuate enough of the army to have something left to defend the homeland, and most of the Navy and Air Force will not be sailing/flying to the rescue because they are being held back for the battle for Britain.

Dunkirk is good at conveying the feelings men in this situation might have — the mix of endless waiting and fear. Read the history of the evacuation of Dunkirk and you get the big picture idea of the troops doing this and Churchill ordering that. Here, you see individual men and their attempts to make it through the week. Without being melodramatic, the movie gets to the high drama of the situation, even when that situation involves long stretches of guys just sitting around.

Because of the structure, the movie is also able to give us a lot of individual stories and do it very quickly. Without much backstory, we’re able to get the basics of HIPPO | JULY 27 - AUGUST 2, 2017 | PAGE 50

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (PG-13)

Dunkirk

the characters and their motivations and experiences.

The structure is not, however, a complete success. Something about the way this story is told, for me, actually sucked some of the energy out of this fraught, fascinating part of history. Perhaps because I found myself spending time on the relationships of the storylines (and their timelines) to each other, I felt, at times, impatient with stretches of the movie. The war and the Dunkirk evacuation don’t need a lot of self-conscious storytelling business. And the mix of scenes and plots here — the up-close, hear-the-breaths scenes of two guys try to sneak onto a ship and the more straightforward “Prof. Kenneth Branagh’s Expositional History Minute” scenes, for example — are occasionally clunky.

I did not love this movie the way that some reviewers I’ve read or heard apparently did (avoiding reviews has been futile for this movie; I agree with some commentators on the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast that Dunkirk might require a second viewing, both to get past the structure and the hype). I liked it, but it has flaws.

But by the end of the movie, Dunkirk does tell a fairly coherent story, with a final stretch that helps to pull the movie together. B Rated PG-13 for intense war experience and language. Written and directed

by Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk is an hour and 46 minutes long and distributed by Warner Bros.

Girls Trip (R)

Long-time friends get together for a weekend in New Orleans in Girls Trip, a girls-night-friendly comedy.

Ryan Pierce (Regina Hall) is a lifestyle celebrity who preaches “having it all.” Though she and her equally famous husband (Mike Colter) are on the cusp of signing a merchandising deal, their mar-

riage is now more a business relationship.

Ryan hasn’t told her three close college friends about her personal woes, even though she has invited them to join her at a celebrity-and-entertainment-filled expo.

Sasha Franklin (Queen Latifah) also wants to keep her problems to herself.

Once a serious journalist, she now runs a celebrity gossip site that is nearly out of funds.

Dina (Tiffany Haddish) doesn’t have some big grown-up problem because she doesn’t seem particularly grown-up. When we meet her, her boss is attempting to fire her for not keeping her temper in check.

Lisa Cooper (Jada Pinkett Smith) is possibly too grown-up. A divorced mom of two, she doesn’t get out nearly enough and her friends urge her to use her New Orleans weekend to get a man (or two) for some fun.

Unlike this summer’s other R-rated comedies, Girls Trip actually keeps its concept and drama fairly grounded in real life — no dead exotic dancer or illegal casino — and gets the best results, both dramatically and comedically. The best moments, as is always true in this sort of movie, are when the women are dealing with some aspect of their relationships with each other. The comedy is funnier, the emotion seems more earned.

I also liked that these women are grownup ladies with grown-up lady responses to problems (well, occasionally the responses of drunk grown-up ladies but still). When Jada Pinkett Smith’s Lisa cuts loose, she seems like a forty-something woman having a good time (the actress is 45, which seems like roughly the age the characters are supposed to be). She doesn’t, at least by the standards of these sorts of movies, do anything that seems too wildly out of character for a nurse/mother of two. (Also, the actress Pinkett Smith seems to be genuinely having a fun time — always a plus.)

Girls Trip isn’t for me a stand-out as

Sci-fi properties — Avatar!

Ender’s Game! Star Trek! A Mall of America brochure! — went into a blender and out came Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, a movie from Luc Besson based on a French comic series.

We open with a montage explaining that over the next couple hundred years, an international space station becomes an interstellar station as it welcomes a variety of alien civilizations. Added to with each new arrival, the station becomes too big to orbit around Earth and pushes off, becoming its own traveling mini-planet where cultures meet and share ideas.

Some 400 years later, Valerian (Dane DeHaan), who is called “Major” despite looking like a 12-year-old, and his partner Laureline (Cara Delevingne), a “sergeant” who also appears to be in the seventh grade, are some kind of law enforcement for some kind of federation government.

They have a spaceship, missions and a flirty workplace relationship.

One mission requires them to confiscate a nearly extinct animal, a converter, that can poop out multiple copies of whatever you feed it (feed it a diamond and it immediately poops out a shower of diamonds).

As it happens, this converter, which looks like a pocket-sized cross between a friendly dragon and an armadillo, once belonged to a planet of shiny Na’vi-from-Avatarish people (but opal-colored, bald and sort of annoying) called Pearls. Valerian has a dream about the destruction of these people, a people he’d never previously heard of, and now thinks there is more to this whole last-pooping-animal mission than he’s been told.

Once Valerian and Laureline arrive at Alpha, as the station is now called, with the converter, Valerian tries to unravel the mystery of the Pearls and their planet, why someone kidnapped a military commander (Clive Owen) and what is causing the growing contamination of an area at the center of Alpha. Also, Valerian (apparently a real ladies’ man?) tries to convince Laureline that he’s wants to settle down and marry her.

I don’t know how old the Valerian and

Laureline of the source material are — Wikipedia and other internet-y things seem to suggest 20something, give or take. In terms of what we know about the lives and experiences of the characters in the movie, that would seem true here too — and the actors are 31 (DeHaan) and nearly 25 (Delevingne). But they do not read this way at all. Whether it’s the actors themselves, the way they’re dressed or some combination of both, the actors look like teens, at best, and they confuse an already muddled movie (Teen law enforcement?

Jewel-pooping armadillos? Rihanna as a shape-shifting blue-octopus pole dancer?). Also, Delevingne was apparently given the direction “have a strangely flat affect always except sometimes for no reason don’t.” It all adds to a feeling that the movie is making specific style choices but doesn’t do it well enough to make it clear what those choices are.

The rest of the story either doesn’t really hang together or isn’t all that interesting.

Chunks of the movie, which turns into a chase through Alpha, seem like they are only there to show off the technical ability to make them a reality. The basic history and workings of Alpha are interesting and would seem to have the potential for lots of good stories, but the station ultimately feels pretty minor to the movie.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets has that Jupiter Ascending feel of a sci-fi movie that might have once had a good idea attached to it but has been smothered in iffy performances and more technological expertise than storytelling skill. CRated PG-13 for sci-fi violence and action, suggestive material and brief language. Directed by Luc Besson with a screenplay by Besson (from the comic book series Valerian and Laureline by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mezieres), Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is two hours and 17 minutes long and distributed by STX Entertainment.

Jim Olsen has amazing ears; his record label, Signature Sounds, was a first home to Grammy winner Lori McKenna, Josh Ritter, Crooked Still and Lake Street Dive, among others. When he heard Twisted Pine playing at the Cantab Lounge in Cambridge, he sensed something special.

Most of the band was still in college, studying in the Berklee American Roots Music program, but “it was clear that they had tremendous instrumental talents and a lot of charisma,” Olsen said. He began watching them, offering guidance.

Olsen’s attention sparked a turning point for Twisted Pine, who were up to that point focused on traditional bluegrass, delivered with breathtaking precision and dexterity.

“It was about having fun and playing this music that we loved,” mandolin player Dan Bui said in a recent interview.

Knowing there was interest from a label with Signature’s cachet made them pledge to forge their own sound. This resolve accelerated when banjo player Ricky Mier departed, wanting to stick with traditional music.

“A creative evolution,” Bui said. “We were left with a four-piece and when that happened it opened up a lot more possibilities for us. ...

We had more space to operate and freedom to explore this new original music and and create this new sound.”

Bui discovered the mandolin while watching Sam Bush play bluegrass on an all-star Austin City Limits that also featured Earl Twisted Pine (opening for Sierra Hull) When: Saturday, July 29, 8 p.m.

Scruggs, Bela Fleck, Vassar Clements and Bryan Sutton.

“That inspired me to grab my mandolin and dig in deeper,” he said.

When the Texas native arrived in Boston, he began meeting fellow travelers right away.

“Hanging out at the Cantab, it became an obsession for all of us,” he said. “That’s kind of what the band was at first — all of us doing our best to learn as much as we could.”

The group’s eponymous debut CD is a breakthrough effort rivaling first albums from Nickel Creek and Crooked Still, a melting pot of influences played by a band that seems to mature with every note. With fiddler Kathleen Parks, bass player Chris Sartori, guitarist Rachel Sumner and Bui, Twisted Pine is a force to be reckoned with.

“The band has grown in leaps and bounds and are ready to make a big impact on the roots music world,” Olsen said.

Given their rapid rise, it’s a bit surprising that most of the band managed to complete Berklee degree programs. Quite often, that path leads from college to a lifelong internship — otherwise known as a music career.

“I did graduate, Kathleen also graduated and Rachel didn’t complete her program but she moved on,” Bui said. Sartori attended UMass-Lowell. “We like to say we’re done with Berklee. Whether that means we graduated or not, we finished.”

One of the best songs on the new record, “21 and Rising,” was actually born in a Berklee classroom.

“Kathleen wrote that as an assignment,” Bui said. “She collaborated with Lily Lyme and recorded a demo of it ... which she brought to the band. Once we learned it, we evolved and added things, expanded, worked on rhythmic feels. It kind of turns from a standard bluegrass song into more spacey sections in the end.”

Other songs were found in myriad ways.

Bui and Sumner locked themselves in a room and traded ideas to come up with “Hold On,” a swinging love song that kicks off the record.

“That was one of the first songs that became a song for our band, where we went, ‘this is pretty cool and we should keep doing this,’” Bui said.

“Hog Wild” is one of Bui’s favorites, an instrumental tune written by Parks that came alive in the studio.

“We played it live a bunch but in the studio we were trying to figure out how we wanted to capture it,” Bui said. “What happened on the record is a very spontaneous performance, and I like it for that reason.”

This process promises more great things.

“We’re still learning how to write together,” he said. “In that process we are learning from each other [and finding] the best way to get the song across.”

NITE SUDOKU

Thinking Thinking of of selling selling your business? your business?

s

impulse and throw it to someone after undulating through your center? Forgive me but I feel like an impulse is not something you can catch. You can catch a ride to Mr. Waffle, you can catch herpes, but an impulse is supposed to spring from you and is mechanically antecedent to a reflex, because it can be squelched, whereas a reflex is automatic, isn’t it? Anyone up for Mr. Waffle?

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Letting someone you don’t really like surprise you is evolved…. You may be evolving.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Commanding officer would say, you did blah de blah, would you like to offer your explanation, and private whoever would say yes, sir, I realize what I did, but this is why and so on. After the eleventh or twelfth exchange, my dad said he realized that regardless of the excuse, they all came across as defensive and it weakened them. He felt inspired suddenly as he stepped before the Lt. Colonel, who asked if he’d like to offer an explanation for his misdeed. My dad said No, sir, I would not. The already orderly room went silent. What happened happened.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) I sulked but not so much that I would be caught caring what you thought of me. Care, don’t care — who cares?

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) I was so caught up in your being wrong about me that I hadn’t honestly taken you in. Don’t get caught up.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Maybe that’s why we did it, though. To dive and and not ask why, maybe that was the point. Actually, you should ask why before you dive.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) An ape makes a sound or gesture to another ape signaling that it wants a banana. It gets the banana or not, but the communication is clear. Seek clarity.

All quotes are from Dear Mr. You, by Mary-Louise Parker, born Aug. 2, 1964.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) It may be that everyone feels peripheral in high school. My one friend and I stuck together, but some days I would walk halfway to school in the morning only to turn around and go back. I started counting my credits in my head, one day realizing I could leave high school altogether in a few months if I took extra classes. “What about graduation? What about prom?” I heard a few ask. “Precisely,” I thought to myself. Precisely.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Dear Movement Teacher, Any normal person can juggle.

You made it clear that sure, certain people could not, but they were abnormally uncoordinated and would never be actors. I was on the fast track to failure being one of two people in the entire class who could not juggle. I could barely toss. If you can juggle, you can toss.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) Dear Former Boyfriend … what was your point that weekend we argued all day and forgot to eat? We kept at it until we grew weak and unfocused, when finally you said, this is insanity, you’re killing me, I want Mexican, let’s go. I said yes, down with insanity, I just need shoes, and you said okay, but hear me when I say there is now a hole inside me that only salsa can fill.

Salsa is the answer.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) I wasn’t tired or even spacing out. I was trying to let go of the blockage in my lower back, I triple swear, but the thing you could not have been expected to understand was that I have my entire life given people the wrong signals with my face…. There is a risk of misread signals.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Humans are saddled with so many terrific ways of overcomplicating what we want. Simplify.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) I wonder if you still teach that? Where you catch an

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Digital cocktail

LowellSummerMusic.Org No Ticket Fees

Fri-Sun, July 28-30

If you visit Dawson City in Canada’s Yukon Territory, you can’t skip one of its famous traditions: sipping on a Sourtoe Cocktail at the Sourdough Saloon. The drink, conceived in 1973, comprises the cocktail of your choice garnished with a pickled amputated human toe. (“You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow, but your lips have gotta touch the toe,” says “toe master” Terry Lee.) On June 18, one of the saloon’s toes went missing when a patron, who identified himself as “a drunken fool,” took the digit (specifically, a second toe). Although the thief mailed the toe back with an apology, Travel Yukon has launched a campaign for an “insurance toe,” saying, “Our toe was returned, but we can always use backups!”

The continuing crisis

Demit Strato of New York took to Facebook on June 26 from his throne room to excoriate his local Starbucks for making his venti iced coffee with regular milk instead of soy milk, as he ordered it. “I’ve pooped 11 times since the A.M. My bottom hurts from all the wiping. Do you think I enjoy soy milk? ...

I don’t order soy milk because I’m bored and want my drink order to sound fancy. I order soy milk so that my bottom doesn’t blast fire for 4 hours.” For its part, Starbucks sent Strato a $50 gift card, and he told Buzzfeed that “many women are trying to go out on a date after this, too.”

People different from us

A China Southern Airlines flight between Shanghai and Guangzhou was delayed for five hours on June 27 after an 80-year-old passenger, identified only as Qiu, was spotted tossing coins into the engine as she boarded “to pray for a safe flight.” Passengers already onboard were asked to deplane while crews searched inside the engine and around the area, ultimately finding nine coins totaling the equivalent of about 25 cents. Local news outlets estimated the cost of the delay and the search at $140,000.

• Could it have been overconsumption of caffeine that provoked Londoner Kit Lovelace to scan all 236 episodes of Friends to chronicle how much coffee each character drank? Lovelace told the Huffington Post in June he was disappointed that no one had ever collected data about the characters’ coffee habits, so he meticulously studied how much they drank, how their consumption changed over the years and how much they spent on coffee. (Spoiler alert: Phoebe drank the most coffee, and collectively the group spent more than $2,000 on joe over the course of the 10-season series.)

• A California man’s 2,000th visit to Disneyland in Anaheim on June 22 made him a

celebrity in the park. Jeff Reitz began visiting Disneyland every day after receiving an annual pass as a gift in 2012. At the time, he was unemployed, but he continued his habit even after finding a job, using the $1,049 Disney Signature Plus Passport. “Until today, cast members would think I looked familiar, but now they know who I am,” Reitz said.

“It’s been positive, it’s been a motivator, it’s been my workout gym. This past year I’ve lost about 40 pounds.”

Police report

• A SWAT team from the Sumter County (Florida) Sheriff’s department raided The Villages retirement community on June 21, uncovering what they believe is a golf cart chop-shop operation, along with illegal drugs, in the sprawling complex near Ocala.

Souped-up golf carts are a popular way to get around in the community, which is home to more than 150,000 people. Windshields, seat cushions, wheels and tires were found in the garage, along with drugs “in plain sight” in the home, Deputy Gary Brannen said. Five people, ranging in age from 38 to 63, were arrested.

• A determined pregnant woman in Asheville, North Carolina, was charged June 28 with misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon after she ran over the man who had been caught rifling through her SUV. Christine Braswell, 26, confronted Robert Raines, 34, in a Walmart parking lot, but when he ran, she couldn’t run after him. “Me being five months pregnant, I chased a little ways, then come back, jumped in the car, threw it in gear and come across the curb and ran him over. I was not going to let him get away with it,” she said. Raines sustained minor injuries.

• A hopeful driver, pulled over by Dakota County (Minnesota) Deputy Mike Vai in June, produced a “get out of jail free” card from a Monopoly game in an effort to escape charges on a controlled substance warrant.

The amused officer shared the incident on his department’s Facebook page but took the unidentified man into custody nonetheless.

Odd hobbies

The Wall Street Journal reported in June on a small group of enthusiasts who participate in the esoteric sport of container spotting discovering and documenting unusual shipping containers. Spotting a distinctive box “is analogous to the satisfaction that bird-watchers get from spotting a very rare breed of bird,” noted Matt Hannes, who maintains the Intermodal Container Web Page. Unusual boxes, known as unicorns, include those with outdated names or logos, or sporting discontinued colors, and those from very small shipping companies. Charles Fox of Indianapolis may be an extreme hobbyist: On his honeymoon, he spent two 12-hour days taking photos of a variety of boxes in Belgium.

What we’ll do for love

Brandon Thompson, 35, had just one request before Muskogee, Oklahoma, police officers took him into custody on July 4: “I asked the officer if I could propose.” Officers Bob Lynch and Lincoln Anderson agreed and moved Thompson’s handcuffs from his back to his front so he could put the ring on Leandria Keith’s finger. Thompson had six felony bench warrants out for his arrest, but he told CNN he has been “doing a lot to turn his life around.” Keith said “yes.”
