Old Glory, new fear?

A neighbor told me of an experience he and his wife had while camping last week. It was early evening and they were the first to pitch tent in a rather remote part of the state. Not long thereafter, the tranquility of the place was interrupted by the arrival of two big 4X4s roaring into the campground, each vehicle carrying off its tailgate two huge American flags. As the new arrivals — two couples — emerged, my neighbors told me they felt a wave of anxiety. Who were these people? Their vehicles suggested a lifestyle very different from their own. While the flags would reassure them of common citizenship, the bumper stickers on their arrivals’ trucks — left over from last year’s presidential campaign — could not have contrasted more sharply with those on their Prius. “How will this evening go?” they asked. “Do we ignore them, keep to ourselves, and try not to attract their attention?” In the end, they decided to break camp and move on to look for another campground. “How sad,” my neighbor later shared with me. “We were afraid of our own people, our fellow Americans. Notwithstanding the flag we both reference, we were fearful that engagement with those folks might have led to violence, given our apparently very different views on politics.” Their experience is not uncommon. Several friends who are restaurateurs say they notice diners are more subdued in their table conversations, especially when the topic shifts to politics. Voices are lowered and the very names of certain persons are almost whispered as if those overhearing nearby might react. Have we truly come to the place where we cannot even engage one another in respectful, civil conversation without fear of conflict? What does that flag mean these days? Is it the banner of commonality in any meaningful sense? Does it represent “Out of many, one” or does it now serve as a banner of polarity, of absolutist positions, non-compromise, and intolerance of difference? True: over our history as a country, the flag has been appropriated by individuals and single-interest groups for their specific purposes. But in our better moments, it has been a symbol of our shared commitment to the values enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. In times of war, our countrymen and women have shown extraordinary bravery fighting under that banner of freedom. In these trying times, might we call upon a bravery that leads us to overcome our fears and seek to engage in a conversation of mutual understanding?

NEWS & NOTES In the days that followed a catastrophic pipe break in the Manchester VA Medical Center and the coincidental investigation into alleged inadequate care at the facility announced the same week, two public meetings were held by groups to discuss the concerns of area veterans. In the meantime, a bill co-authored by New Hampshire 2nd District Congresswoman Annie Kuster aimed at improving medical care for vets was passed by the U.S. House. NHPR reported the first public meeting on July 26 was hosted by the Manchester VA Medical Center and its interim leaders, who hastily replaced top officials soon after the investigation was announced. The investigation was triggered by whistleblowers and a Boston Globe story that alleged unsanitary conditions and poor care. During the meeting, which took place at Manchester Community College, members of the public complained about long wait times and trouble working through the VA bureaucracy, according to the NHPR story. According to the AP, a second public meeting, on July 31 at the American Legion Sweeney Post in Manchester, was hosted by the Medical Center staffers who blew the whistle on the issues being investigated. One of the complaints against the Medical Center is that it has insufficient medical staff. A bill co-authored by Kuster aims to address this by establishing a pilot program that awards student debt assistance to veterans with military medical training who work as physician assistants at VA Medical Centers, the AP reported. A 2017 GAO report found that physician assistants had the highest rate of turnover among medical occupations experiencing shortages.

While Gov. Chris Sununu has been largely supportive of the policies of the Trump administration, he did not hesitate to part from President Trump on his plan to ban transgender people from serving in the military. NHPR reported Sununu said he doesn’t approve of Trump’s tweet announcing the ban and thinks anyone who is physically and mentally fit should be able to serve in the military.

ROAD PROJECTS

The name of Chester Brickett, a New Hampshire fire chief in Winnisquam who died in 1954, will be added to the Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Concord in September, the AP reported. Brickett died of a heart attack on his way back from a fire. His death was ruled a “line of duty death” this year. CONCORD

The City of Nashua is looking to get a $36,000 option on the former Alec’s Shoes building at 20 Main St. The Telegraph of Nashua reported the city plans to buy and renovate the space using a $15.5 million bond to convert it into a performing arts center. The option would essentially cover the property tax bill for one year.

With only 21 students signed up for a pilot full-day kindergarten program in Milford, the school board decided not to implement the program this year, the Telegraph of Nashua reported.

Gov. Chris Sununu announced plans for how $30 million in road and bridge infrastructure funding will be distributed to various towns and cities, after the bill allocating the money was signed into law. According to a press release from the governor’s office, about 230 communities are listed as recipients of the money. The grants ranged from $1,792.47 for Hart’s Location to $1.7 million for Manchester. The average grant is $128,205. Nashua is receiving $1.3 million and Concord is getting $749,030.26. Derry, Londonderry, Rochester, Dover, Bedford and Hudson will each get about half a million dollars.

WOMEN’S PRISON

The opening of the new women’s prison in Concord is expected to be delayed for about a year, the AP reported. The state Department of Corrections has been having difficulty staffing the prison. The facility, which is triple the size of the current women’s prison in Goffstown, was set to open this year. At 101,000 square feet, it can fit 224 women as well as classroom space and health care facilities, according to the story. DOC needs to hire 74 corrections officers, nurses and teachers but the state’s workforce shortage has made that difficult.

Up to cities and towns

Before anyone wins their first payout from keno, cities and towns must allow keno through a ballot measure. Cities will be the first to have a chance to vote on it this November. Towns will have a chance to vote on it in the town meetings in March and May. To get the question of whether to allow keno on a city ballot or town warrant, the municipality needs to pass a vote of the city aldermen, council or selectmen or, alternatively, a petition signed by 5 percent of the community’s registered voters needs to be submitted to the legislative body. According to the Manchester City Clerk’s office, there are 55,843 registered voters in the city, which means a petition would need about 2,790 signatures from among those voters. Alderman Pat Long in Manchester said he made the aldermen aware of the process and will poll the board on where they stand on the issue when they get closer to their Aug. 15 meeting. Long is also a state rep for Manchester and voted for the keno bill, but he is on the fence about allowing it in the Queen City until he does more research on the topic.

Now that keno, a rapid number drawing game, is legal in New Hampshire, cities and towns will vote on whether to adopt it, as the state Lottery Commission is setting up the nuts and bolts of the program. Some bars and restaurants might be able to start offering the game as soon as mid-December. The way it will work in New Hampshire, keno players will choose from a matrix of numbers on a ticket of 80 numbers. They make their bets in an automatic kiosk that prints them a receipt, then they watch as a TV screen displays a drawing of 20 numbers every few minutes. Customers will receive their winnings directly from the machine, except for winnings of $500 or more, which will be mailed as a check. You have to be 18 or older to play and it will only run from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

“If Manchester were to do it, I think my customers would enjoy it,” said Keith Murphy, owner of Murphy’s Taproom in Manchester and a state rep for Bedford. Murphy said he would have the kiosk and screen set up in his Manchester bar as soon

as he is able to, but he actually voted against the bill that legalized it because it was attached to full-day kindergarten funding. Murphy expects Manchester to pass keno, and if it does pass in the majority of the state, he believes it would make far more than the $9 million in annual revenue. “It’s going to blow that number away,” Murphy said. Bars will be able to keep 8 percent of keno sales. “That is not what I would have expected. I would have been happy with less,” Murphy said. He’s also happy that the kiosk system will be automated, freeing his staff up to focus on food and drink service. In Maryland, where Murphy grew up, the keno transaction was done through bar staff, he said. And unlike New Hampshire, where it will only be available in establishments with liquor pouring licenses, Maryland had keno in “literally every gas station,” Murphy said. Murphy said he thinks keno is a more social type of gambling game that works well in a bar environment. “My impression is most people who play keno will play it somewhere that sells alcohol and has food and is a social place like a bar or a restaurant. I think that’s a very natural fit,” he said. He also believes it will raise the revenue for the meals and rooms tax. “The reality is the benefit for me as an owner isn’t the 8 percent. It isn’t my small cut of what goes into that kiosk. The benefit to me as an owner and to my employees is that my customers will sit longer, they will have more food, they will drink more drinks,” Murphy said.

Gearing up

Right now, the New Hampshire Lottery Commission is taking steps to develop new software to run the keno system at the lottery headquarters. It’s working with Intralot, who has had keno in its contract since 2010, to provide the technology. Bars will have boxes connected to secure DSL lines installed that can connect to TVs to display the live feed. Charlie McIntyre, the executive director of the lottery commission, said they are also getting ready to reach out to qualifying bars and restaurants in the state with letters in the mail and follow-up phone calls, which will notify them of the option to add keno and inform them of the application process. “Our projected go-live date is Dec. 15,” McIntyre said. He said he expects a “vast majority” of cities and towns to adopt keno this fiscal year. And that can mean bringing a lot of dollars back into the state that have been spent in Massachusetts, according to McIntyre. “Already, $25 million annually is wagered in Massachusetts on keno by New Hampshire citizens,” McIntyre said. Generally, McIntyre said the most popular approach for players is to bet on four or five number combinations (like birthdays) with top prizes around $50. He expects a chunk of those winnings will go toward buying more food or tipping waiters better. Besides the 8 percent that will go to the hosting bar or restaurant, 2 percent is expected to pay for operating costs, a little over 69 percent will go toward winnings, 1 percent will be set aside for problem gambling services and the rest (about 19 percent) will be profit sent to the education trust fund to help pay for full-day kindergarten.

A Granite Leader

Resources helped pull local man out of homelessness By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Lenny Constant is a stout fellow in his 40s with wavy salt-and-pepper hair and gentle brown eyes. Today, he works maintenance at the Hilton Garden Inn and lives with his wife in an apartment in Manchester. But not long ago, he was spending cold nights alone at the New Horizons shelter, sleeping on a bed on the floor. While he worked hard to get back on his feet, Constant credits the Granite Leaders program for teaching him important life skills and shoring up his confidence when he needed it most.

Falling into homelessness

Constant had been out of work and receiving Social Security Disability Insurance payments for COPD emphysema — $872 per month — when he broke up with his then-girlfriend and had to move out of their home. He stayed with a family member temporarily but had to leave due to lack of space. So, on Feb. 3, 2013, Constant found himself homeless for the first time. “I didn’t know where to go. … I was lost and extremely depressed,” Constant said. “For the first time in my life I had to actually admit that I had failed.” Just a few days later, a major blizzard dubbed “winter storm Nemo” hit the state. Concord received about 24 inches of snow, according to USA Today. Constant found shelter at New Horizons, where he stayed for about two months before finding an apartment, paid for mostly with his disability check. But he was still unemployed and his rent was high, so four months later he moved in with his niece. He was grateful, but his confidence was still low. After years of being selfsufficient and raising two kids, he was now staying with a relative whose diapers he used to change. While staying with his niece, Constant enrolled in an associate’s program in psychology at Mount Washington College using federal student aid. Around the same time, Constant was volunteering at the shelter by distributing food. The program director at New Horizons, Kevin Kintner, told him about an opportunity to apply for a program called Granite Leaders.

Granite Leaders

Organized by the New Hampshire Coalition to End Homelessness, Granite Leaders teaches leadership skills to currently and formerly homeless people, and

graduates are invited to speak on panels and testify at the Statehouse to advocate for homeless issues. Coalition spokesperson Michele Talwani said the program is run every two years and lasts for six months. It is held in Manchester with monthly meetings, but there are occasions where the class goes to Concord or other places to get experience. “It’s really to help engage them, [and] to educate the population and public about homelessness,” Talwani said. “Who better [to] speak about what it’s like to be homeless than somebody who has actually been through it?” For Constant, it was also a huge confidence-booster. “It was probably one of the best things I did after my homelessness,” Constant said. Every time he was asked to speak publicly on the issue of homelessness, he gained a little bit more confidence. Inspired by Constant’s story, the Hilton Garden Inn Manchester and Roedel Cos. recently donated $2,000 to the Coalition to support the Granite Leaders program. Talwani said the program is currently in its third year and is in the process of recruiting candidates for when the program starts up again in November.

A happy ending

Eventually, Constant found work at the college and then started his job at the Hilton Garden Inn in March 2016. With new income, he weaned off disability insurance. Constant was able to get his own apartment and then moved in with an old girlfriend he had reconnected with. They got married last year. He said he used to think homeless people were all addicts. He thought of them as “bums.” And when he first became homeless himself, he figured he must be the exception to the rule. But he quickly learned that wasn’t true, and that realization helped him get back on his feet. “OK, I’m not the biggest loser in the world. I’m not the only guy who’s not drunk, not on drugs that lost his housing. Anything can happen,” Constant would tell himself at the time. His advice for homeless people is to keep moving forward. Four years ago, he was alone, sleeping in a shelter, waiting out a blizzard. Now he’s got a place to call home, he’s married and he loves his job, which he calls his second family. “For the first time in my entire life, I look forward to getting up in the morning and coming to work,” Constant said.

In the second year of grad school, I had a residency out in Sonoma, California, and that was the first time my wife and I ever went to the West Coast. It was a great year. And, after my residency, I took a job at St. Antony’s Hospital in Amarillo, Texas, as an assistant administrator. And then, after that, I came up to Concord, New Hampshire, and was the assistant superintendent at the state hospital. I was appointed by Gov. Walter Peterson. In 1972, I left the state [hospital] and I became the administrator of Notre Dame Hospital in Manchester, New Hampshire. In 1975, Notre Dame Hospital merged with Sacred Heart Hospital to form Catholic Medical Center, and I became the first executive vice president of Catholic Medical Center. And I stayed there for … years, I think until 1985. Can you explain what the Senior Games are? The Senior Games are sporting activities for men and women over the age of 50. The New Hampshire Senior Games have been going for 30 years. This year, we’re celebrating our 30th anniversary. We are also hooked up with the national senior games. Each state in the union has their own senior games, and every two years we have a tournament in different parts of the country to determine the national champions in 14 or 15 events. During the 30 years, we’ve had many fine people who were chairmen of the organization. ... I am presently president of the organization.

I play fantasy baseball. I’ve been playing fantasy baseball with the same 12 or 13 people for about 25 years.

What do you have to do to qualify to participate in the games? Nothing. All you have to do is sign up and you … play in age categories. We break it down to every five years. So, if you’re 50 to 55, you play against Courtesy photo. people your age. If you’re 85 to 90, you play against people in your age, so you never have to worry about your age because you compete against people in your own age bracket. Some men and women compete together. In other things, they compete separately. And in tennis and pickleball, we have mixed doubles. How many people are enrolled this year to play in New Hampshire? So far, we have about 350 people who have registered. We have 150 people in pickleball. This is probably one of the biggest pickleball tournaments in the state of New Hampshire, this year. And we have already completed horseshoes, candlepin bowling, ten-pin bowling and shuffleboard. This weekend [July 28 to July 30], we’re going to have the big pickleball tournament at the Executive Court club in Manchester. What is pickleball? Pickleball is a new sport. It’s sort of a cross between tennis and badminton and … it’s played with a whiffle ball. It’s new but it’s been catching on all over the country. That’s why pickleball will be our biggest event this year. … I don’t know why it’s called pickleball. … You have to hit the ball over the net and you have to stay within a certain square. But the ball doesn’t go as far or as fast as a tennis ball; that’s why people who are a little bit older can play it. Do you participate in any of the games? Yes, I participate in the road race and I participate in the track and field. I do the 400- and 800-meter races and the 5K road race at the St. Charles [Children’s] home in Rochester. What would you say is the larger mission of the games? The larger mission is to keep the population of 50-and-older men and women healthy. Give them an opportunity to play sports against people in their same age category and maybe in their same skill levels, and just to keep them off the couch and on the track or [at] the gym. — Ryan Lessard

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Cyanobacteria on the rise

State environment officials have noted a dangerous uptick in cyanobacterial blooms in some of the state’s ponds and lakes. The AP reported the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has issued recent advisories for French and Keyser ponds in Henniker, Lee’s Pond in Moultonborough and Sebbins Pond in Bedford. Exposure to cyanobacteria, which appears as a green scum on the surface or in the water column, can cause skin irritation in the short term and kidney, liver or nervous system degradation in the long term. QOL Score: -1

Comment: It’s also important to keep pets away from affected water bodies as they have been known to die from ingesting high concentrations of cyanobacteria.

Airport project funds

The Federal Aviation Administration is granting the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport $3.5 million to reconstruct and relocate several taxiways, according to a release by the FAA. The funding is part of about $170 million in grants nationwide awarded under the Airport Improvement Program. According to the story Manchester will use the money to reconstruct Taxiway H and relocate Taxiway B, which will enhance safety. QOL Score: +1

Comment: The FAA distributes the airport improvement funding based on volume of passengers.

New Hampshire’s “Moose Plate” reached a major milestone in the recently ended fiscal year. According to a press release, more than $20 million has been raised via the sales of new plates and renewals over the program’s lifetime. The standard-issue Moose Plate includes a “C” for “Conservation,” “H” for “Heritage,” an illustrated moose designed by local artist Jim Collins and, of course, “Live Free or Die.” They cost $30 and can be purchased at city and town clerks’ offices when registering a car or truck. Sales support many local conservation and preservation programs, including planting wildflowers along Granite State highways, studying threatened plant and animal species, conservation easements and preserving publicly owned historic properties. QOL Score: +1 Comment: The idea started with fourth-grade students from Holderness Central School in 1993, and the first plates were sold in 2000.

Trails coming along

QOL loves rail trails and is always keeping an eye on the Granite State Rail Trail, a proposed 100-mile-plus path spanning from Salem to Lebanon. Londonderry’s segment in particular has seen major developments in the past several years, thanks to passionate members of the town’s trail group, Londonderry Trailways, and generous local businesses and individuals funding the development — for example, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices/Verani Realty, which recently donated $2,500, according to a story in the Eagle Tribune. Right now, the paved trail in Londonderry runs from the Derry line to North Londonderry Elementary School’s parking lot off Sanborn Road. QOL Score: +1 Comment: The next phase involves paving a ¾-mile segment and creating a pedestrian beacon at the intersection of Route 28 and Sanborn Road — an important piece of the puzzle, because right now Route 28 is dangerous to cross.

The weird Red Sox season continues as the suddenly reeling Red Sox have fallen out of first place thanks to a slump that started right around the time the latest who-ha that could only happen in Red Sox Nation began. That would be Red Sox Nation/the media going on the war path with David Price after the pricey lefty berated Dennis Eckersley on the team plane in front of the entire squad. He supposedly was standing up for Eduardo Rodriguez after the Eck said “yuck” on NESN over the pitching line he put up during a minor-league rehab start. Given that it was nine hits and five runs in three AA innings, what else could he have said? But Price apparently thought he could have said better and told him so in a, um, “conversation” that at one point reportedly included Price telling the Hall of Famer to “shut the [blank] up.” One can only imagine what Price would have said if NESN had checked in with Boston-educated ex-new White House Communications Chief Anthony Scaramucci for his take on E-Rod’s performance. Be that as it may, when coupled with Price’s earlier dust-up with CSNNE’s Evan Drellich, it sent most in the local media into brethren protection overdrive as everyone lined up solidly behind the Eck and against Price. All of it reminded me of why I stopped being a Yankees fan during George Steinbrenner’s reign of terror in the Bronx — a tutorial I suspect for the perpetrator of a similar reign of terror now in progress in Washington, D.C. It resulted in George’s blowing at least three pennants in the ’80s, thanks to his impatience with young players, constant managerial firings, a love-hate war with the media, repeatedly pointing the finger of blame at everyone but himself and his giant ego needing to be stoked on a daily

spoke. That says the ones doing it are a very immature bunch who need to be told media relations is part of the job. Because the team that was loved for its youth and talent just 18 months ago is teetering toward hearing regular boos if they keep playing as lifelessly as they are. The Media: I don’t want to sound like Mr. Trump, because it’s not quite fake news. But the locals are doing what they do best, piling on to turn a dinky story into a huge one like this is the first time a player got into it with a member of the media. It’s partly because of Price’s incessant (and tone deaf) tweeting, and because they feel he under-delivered on the big bucks. Though only an idiot would think giving a guy big money would turn an 0-7 playoff starter into Curt Schilling after he got it. Plus, the Eck is beloved. Most striking is the hypocrisy of a group that largely (though not totally) complained the national media turned deflate-gate into a huge national story because it didn’t like Bill Belichick. And now they’re doing same to Price. Red Sox Nation: I love their resilience, but there is such a thing as smothering the object of your affection by loving it to death. It’s often chalked up to their “passion.” But when it gets to the point where each managerial mistake is treated like a triple homicide, it’s insanity. In the end, this nonsense reminds me of Steinbrenner, where all the obnoxious behavior just took the fun out of being a Yankees fan. And it’s beginning to feel similar here in a different way, as small issues like the Price-Eck thing are annually inflated into gigantic stories. So I’ll close with this: Thank goodness training camp has started. Because none of this stuff happens when Coach B and his team get down to business. At least not on the local front. Nationally, that’s another story, but then it’s an us-against-them story — which most can get behind. Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress.com.

basis. Sound familiar? But I digress. It’s doubtful the Red Sox suddenly stopped hitting because of this, but the distraction couldn’t have helped. In any event, while Price is the one who started it all, I think there’s plenty of blame to go all around for the following: David Price: Endlessly hearing how “horrible” he was in 2016 strains credulity as his 17 wins were the most since the sainted Jon Lester in 2010. But, after hearing him cluelessly talk last weekend, he seems dumber than a Vanderbilt should be. Earth to David: Broadcasters are not team cheerleaders and what you did was bad form. You look like a whiny crybaby. My advice is if you can’t handle this, opt out of the contract this fall, because if you keep it up or don’t do better in the playoffs it’ll only get worse. The Manager: Why does John Farrell owe Eckersley an apology? He didn’t do anything. Still, I’m not sure he could have handled it any worse. Every time I hear him say, “We’ll handle it internally,” it sounds like a parent telling a chronically misbehaving kid, “if you do this again, you’re in big trouble, mister, and I’ll really mean it this time.” He also sounds afraid of saying the wrong thing because he’s trying not to lose his job. The Red Sox Brass: They should stop bending over backward to have everyone apologize when something bad happens. Like the Adam Jones N-word thing. Just because one bonehead in a crowd of 39,000 says something really offensive, it doesn’t mean an entire city is racist. It means one guy is and deal with it accordingly. Apologize to Jones and the Orioles, then suspend the bonehead for life, let everyone know that will happen to anyone else who does it and move on. It should be the same with Price — instead of apologies ranging from the owner to the janitor, tell him to knock it off, and if he doesn’t, suspend him. The Team: The most disturbing thing about this was the clapping after Price

Great NH Open at MCC

The Big Story: Nice showing by Manchester Country Club for hosting a great event for the New Hampshire Open Golf Tournament at MCC last week. David Pastore of Cheshire, Connecticut, took home the $10,000 top prize by winning a threehole playoff with Brett White of Grand Rapids, Michigan, after the pair were tied at 11 under par 202 after 54 holes. The low New Hampshire pro was SNHU Golf Coach Matt Arvanitis, who tied for seventh place at 6 under 207. But the low New Hampshire score overall went to MCC’s Ryan Tomb, who was the early leader in the clubhouse at 202 after a final-round 68, which made him the event’s low amateur player too.

Sports Glossary

Curt Schilling: Big mouth aside, the anti-Price with a clutch 11-2, 2.23 ERA playoff record. 2011 Collapse: Known better in these parts as “Chicken and Beer” after starters Josh Beckett, John Lackey and Jon Lester made it a practice to retreat to the clubhouse during games to eat chicken and drink beer as the Sox were blowing the largest September lead in MLB history. The Sainted Jon Lester: Lefty hurler with great Boston moments on the resume who left for Theo’s Cubs in free agency in 2015. And with management taking all the heat after a mindnumbingly stupid low-ball offer to start negotiations, Lester basically has inexplicably been anointed a saint in these parts. That’s despite the facts that (a) he stabbed Tito in the back while being dead center in the Chicken and Beer sports felony that undermined the 2011 season, (b) he went a horrid 9-14 the next year when the Sox finished in last place, (c) his 11-12 with an ERA that jumped up a run in Chicago Year 1 was far worse than David Price’s 17-9 first in Boston. Yet just as Pedro, Johnny Damon, Jacoby Ellsbury and others were for leaving, Price is a bum, while Lester is a saint. Go figure. Tito: Real name Terry Francona. Arguably enjoyed the most successful managerial tenure in Red Sox history, which included ending the curse in 2004 and winning again in 2007. However, it ended badly when he lost control in 2011, leading to the aforementioned collapse, and he took the fall.

Power up your basic woodworking skills

The Port City Makerspace. Kelly Sennott photo.

Nobody takes up woodworking to save money. You’ll likely find a better deal on a jewelry box at a yard sale or on Craigslist after factoring in the cost of materials, tools, equipment and time it would take to make one yourself. Ultimately, it’s pride in workmanship that gets people hooked on woodworking. “When you use wood that used to be a tree and make a fine desk or a very unique jewelry box … there’s a sense of accomplishment,” said Steve Saulten, who runs The Wood Shop in Alton. New Hampshire’s a great place to learn, HIPPO | AUGUST 3 - 9, 2017 | PAGE 12

no matter your reason, age or gender. Some of the state’s woodworking organizations shared their insight on why woodworking is such a powerful skill and how you can get started.

Start young

The Girls at Work headquarters was coated in sawdust, and the air vibrated with the sound of palm sanders, but campers hardly noticed. Their attention on this Wednesday morning was on the task at hand: making a slab of wood really, really smooth. All around, the Manchester nonprofit’s walls encouraged them with positive messages written by visitors. “You are

powerful.” “Believe in yourself.” “Don’t let your dreams be dreams.” “Just do it.” Most girls were giddy at the prospect of handling tools grown-ups usually forbid them from touching, which was evident in their focus and, every once in a while, their dancing. “There’s something so powerful when kids realize they can do something that most people don’t allow them to do,” said Elaine Hamel, who founded Girls at Work in 2000. “We don’t even let them use the word ‘can’t’ in the shop.” Girls at Work origins trace back to 26 years ago, when Hamel became something like a surrogate parent to her 9-year-old neighbor, whose parents were suffering

from drug addiction. Hamel was financially unstable at the time but wanted to send her to a summer camp in the White Mountains. “I asked the camp director if she needed anything built. And she said, come and teach the girls how to build,” Hamel said. So she did. The girls took to the craft fast. Their preference was to build before breakfast and continue through meals. Demand for the woodworking workshops grew, and Hamel began receiving requests from other camps. “But there were always more girls than I could reach,” Hamel said. “The camp directors started telling me we needed to be in the schools with a program

that would be consistent because the oneshot deal wasn’t enough. So we designed an after-school program that consisted of eight weeks.” In 1999, Hamel built a large barn next to her house in New Boston, an activity that drew neighborhood kids wanting to help out, including the very girls who helped her conceptualize the program she wanted to start: Girls at Work. It would comprise workshops that teach woodworking and help at-risk girls gain confidence and become empowered. “Many girls still believe they’re not builders. The truck commercials are still men. The tool commercials are still men. The kitchen and laundry commercials are all women,” Hamel said. “Girls aren’t going to take a woodworking class full of boys. But girls have incredible potential. And they’re incredibly good builders. [It shoots] their self-confidence off the charts.” Hamel created Girls at Work in 2000. It started as a part-time business that traveled from place to place. In 2012, she took to it full-time, and in 2015, she moved the company to Manchester. This winter, Mel Gosselin came in as CEO, allowing Hamel to focus on her passion, which is designing and leading programming. With the help of its partnership with the Manchester school district’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers, the girls are bused to and from their schools (all Title I, which means 40 percent of the students live in poverty) for free. Some of their past projects include building sheds, picnic tables, benches, chairs, bookcases, tables, bird houses, bat houses, window boxes, storage bins and lockers. Most events happen in the Queen City, but the nonprofit also sets workshops up on site at other locations and hosts weekend women’s classes, birthday parties for girls and corporate team builds for men and women. Mike DiMaggio, president of the Guild of NH Woodworkers, said it works with

many New Hampshire schools, assisting students and teachers with the goal of furthering woodworking in the state. “There are children who need some kind of skill to have a productive kind of life and a good-quality job,” DiMaggio said. “You can go into various areas of carpentry or fine furniture making with any kind of architectural training, but many schools don’t have the funding to have those kinds of programs.”

You don’t have to know anything about woodworking to take a beginner workshop. Saulten said he starts his off with the bare basics, covering the kinds of tools you might use, both manual and electrical, and how to operate machinery like bandsaws, sanders, table saws and planers, plus how to finish a piece with paint or stain. His beginner classes are evenly distributed between men and women, which he 14

13 partially credits to a women-only beginner workshop he began offering a couple years ago. Women seem to be more at ease, he said, when they’re not afraid of being judged for not knowing certain basics. “Men tend to have a macho attitude — ‘I’m a guy, so I already know how to do that stuff.’ Which of course they don’t, or they wouldn’t be taking the basic class,” Saulten said. Some opt to continue their work in Alton, paying per hour they work, either because they don’t have the space at home or because they still want help. “In addition to my shop, they get me. I can help them over the rough spot. I don’t build it for them, but I’m there watching and showing them and teaching them a better way,” Saulten said. Other places to check out for beginner woodworking classes include the Homestead Woodworking School in Newmarket, run by Alan Mitchell and instructed by professional craftsmen and woodworking professionals, and Epic Woodworking in Canterbury, run by Tom McLaughlin. You can also take beginner classes at a local makerspace or through the Guild of NH Woodworkers, said DiMaggio. The Guild of NH Woodworkers, made up of men and women interested in wood-

working, is divvied up into a variety of specialized groups — beginners and intermediates, boat builders, period furniture, woodturning, instrument-making and carving. Membership costs $40 a year and includes free access to all workshops and classes, held all around the state, plus a copy of its woodworking journal edited by Jim Seroskie. DiMaggio said about 70 percent of members do the craft recreationally, 30 percent professionally. It also raises money through fundraising events; at the League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair Aug. 5 through Aug. 13, for instance, the Guild will have a tent of donated items up for auction.

Places to play

One of the biggest obstacles for beginner woodworkers is figuring out where to create. That’s where New Hampshire’s makerspaces come in. Makerspaces are kind of like gyms, except instead of fitness equipment, they provide access to workshop spaces and materials, helping members create everything from robots to furniture. Nearby hotspots include the Manchester Makerspace, MakeIt Labs in Nashua, Port City Makerspace in Portsmouth and the MAXT Makerspace in Peterborough. Inside any of 16

MY Y IS MORE THAN JUST WHERE I DO YOGA, IT’S WHERE I

GET CENTERED

14 them are curious people ranging from beginner to expert in a variety of fields. Nihco Gallo of the Port City Makerspace said that, by far, its woodshop is the most-used of its different trade shops (which include woodworking, machining, metalworking, embroidery, electronics, blacksmithing and automotives). Weekends are busy, but even on weekdays, you’re likely to find some of its 100 or so members working on something or just hanging out. During a recent visit, one guy was building a ladder, and another working on his car. A few were managing their own businesses, which they run out of the makerspace, including Chris Straub, who’s been a member for three years and creates wooden pint glasses and rollers. For him, the value is access to machinery — table saws, lathes, bandsaws, planers, jointers, sanding centers and a CNC machine — and other people to bounce ideas off. Lots of people without woodworking backgrounds are intimidated by it, but they shouldn’t be. “Yeah, you have to know the tools and be safe with the tools, and you’ll learn a million little things along the way, but it’s a lot less complicated than people think it is,” Straub said.

The Port City Makerspace is about five years old and hosts beginner woodworking workshops once a month open to members and nonmembers. “I had a range of people [take the workshops], from those who’d never held a power drill before to people … who used to do fine woodworking but it was years ago and they needed a refresher course for all the tools,” Gallo said. “One of the benefits [of joining the makespace] is you get to absorb knowledge and experiences by osmosis. If you don’t know how to do something, there’s probably somebody that’s also wasting time in the common room who’s done it.” Makerspaces are growing rapidly in New Hampshire. The Manchester Makerspace is only a year old and has become a hub for the Granite State Woodturners, who meet there regularly and recently held a beginner workshop (and as a result, its woodshop is dominated by lathes). Visitors are greeted by a chainsaw carving out front, and inside are tools and space for most all hobbies. “New Hampshire’s a great state [for woodworking] because there’s wood everywhere,” said David Belser, the Manchester Makespace wood shop officer. “With woodturning, all you need is a hunk of wood mounted securely on a lathe. … There’s no material costs whatsoever, other than your time of collecting.” Daniel Perrinez, current president of this makerspace, said members are working hard to open it up to new people and organizations. For example, it recently held a laser cutting workshop with Girls Inc. “We’re making a lot of relationships with local charter schools and homeschool families. Some members created pieces for the bike art project in Concord,” Perrinez said.

After-effects

There’s a reason why they call it a power tool. And it’s not just about woodworking; for Girls at Work, it’s also about confidence-building and empowerment. Hamel told her campers this during a workshop last week, outside after lunch,

near the Girls at Work vegetable garden that contained trellises and picnic tables the girls built themselves. Their next step was to try another challenging thing. For example, climb a mountain. Hamel said the organization has worked with Kimball Union Academy campers. Part of their week, they build, and another part, they climb — either a short hike, a 2,000or a 4,000-footer. “If they go camping after they’ve been here, they’re feeling like giants, pumped up with ridiculous amounts of self esteem. Every one of them wants to do a 4,000-footer. How awesome is that?” she said. “The confidence. It’s a game-changer. They leave here [and] sometimes you’ll hear them say, ‘What else can I do?’ … Teachers are telling us it’s spilling into the classroom. They’re building picnic tables that we’re leaving at schools, and now the girls are asking us to take pictures of them building so they can hang them up near the table.” At this point, Hamel has seen thousands of girls through the program, but it hasn’t changed the ferocity of her passion. She could talk for hours telling Girls at Work stories, and shared another about a camper who couldn’t tie her hair back. “Nine years old, and nobody’s taken the time to show her how to tie her hair up. So I had a volunteer that day take her out and teach her how to tie her hair up,” she said. “Fast forward, the last day here, she shows up here, gets right up in my face and says, ‘Miss Elaine! I learned how to tie my hair up!’” That day, while the girls were finishing the desks they made, Hamel caught sight of this girl decorating hers. “She’s drawn a heart on her desk, which she was coloring in. Across the top of the heart she wrote, ‘I am strong,’” Hamel said. “These girls. I mean, there are so many times I just have to walk away because I get so choked up.” Girls at Work has created a myriad of loyal fans, like Victoria Brier of Manchester, whose daughter, 10-year-old Violet Brier, was immediately “smitten” with the program when she created her first proj-

ects with the nonprofit a couple years ago through Hallsville School. “She’s an adventurous, strong-willed girl. It was exciting for me to see the school offering something a little more in-depth than some other after-school programs,” Victoria Brier said. “She’s just always been one who can and will do whatever she wants, in a way. She didn’t really need that push. But it certainly never hurts anybody to do something new. … Now we’ve got Girls at Work projects all over the house.” Jennifer Sanctuary, treasurer on the board, said she’s seen the same kind of confidence boost among women participating in weekend workshops. “That’s had almost as much impact on the women as it has had on the children. The women in there are very apprehensive at first, and so for them to see this awesome table or bookshelf at the end of the day is really amazing,” Sanctuary said.

Reaching out

Gosselin said Girls at Work has grown tremendously this past year, a trajectory she and the rest of the staff and board members would like to see continue. “We’re growing rapidly. I think what we’re really looking for is people to invest in the girls and help us continue. Our longterm goal is to get our bus on the road and create a mobile workshop so we can bring it all around the state, because it’s not just a Manchester issue,” Gosselin said. The same is true for the Guild and local makerspaces, particularly the newest. Manchester’s got the room and most of the tools you might want, but it also wants to accrue more members to teach or take woodworking classes. They know it’s the generosity of locals that feeds woodworking culture. “I lived in New York my whole life. And New York is a great place, and there are a lot of opportunities there, but I’ve never met the quality of people, who are so kind and giving with their time and resources, as I have with the people of New Hampshire,” DiMaggio said.

ARTS Mind-blowing event

Kirk on readying for League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

For Denise Kirk, the League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair in Sunapee is kind of like Christmas. Kirk, a Queen City resident, is both a juried member specializing in felting and a member of the League’s full-time staff, which involves tasks ranging from running the Hooksett gallery to managing the CraftWear exhibition at the fair, which runs from Aug. 5 through Aug. 13 this year. Kirk was at the fairgrounds a couple weeks before its start for setup, so she saw some of the work before anyone else — which, for a lover of fine craft, is very exciting. But just like the holidays, the fair can get stressful. It’s the biggest event of the year for most juried craftspeople, who’ve spent the better part of it building inventory. Most summers it attracts more than 20,000 shoppers. When things get overwhelming, staff are advised to remember why they’re there. “If [staff] are feeling overwhelmed or feeling frantic, we say, just go out to the tents. Go out and feel that energy, and then you’ll remember why we’re here. We’re here for the craftsmen, to support the organization in whatever way we can,” Kirk said during an interview at the Hooksett gallery, located at the Interstate 93 rest stop. Kirk is a lifelong admirer of the League. She remembers going to the fair with her family and being in awe of the work even as a kid. Her mom taught her to knit, but she didn’t take it seriously until about 10 years ago, while looking for something to fill her time while her sons played sports. But it wasn’t until Kirk joined the League of NH headquarters staff about two years ago that she found the encouragement to try to become juried in. She got her stamp of approval in March and is one of a few full-

time staff who are also juried members. Kirk’s felted bags and bowls will decorate the fair’s exhibitions, and she’ll manage CraftWear, which contains traditional and avant-garde jewelry and handcrafted clothing and accessories. Most of her pieces are bright and colorful, accessorized with beads or eclectic buttons purchased wherever she can find them — consignment stores, clearance racks and from craftsmen clearing out their workspaces. She uses two strands when she knits, which makes the bags durable, sometimes with ribbon yarn to add a bit of shimmer.

20 Art

Kirk’s love of color in part stems from her studies at The Art Institute of Boston, where she studied photography. “Everyone [at school] loved my stuff so much better in color. I see more in color than in black and white,” she said. She’s excited and honored to take part in the fair for the first time as a juried artist. “I think everybody should come to the fair and experience it because it’s incredible. To realize there are that many craftspeople that do that great of work in this small area, I think it’s mind-blowing,” she said. “We actually have people that move to the area so they can be in the League.”

If you’ve ever been to a Shakespeare in the Park play, you know that things don’t always go according to plan. The outdoor productions of Shakespeare comedies, held each year in Peterborough’s Depot Square Park, have had their share of tweeting birds, rumbling motorcycles, even a monstrous storm (which rolled in, ironically, during a performance of The Tempest). But that’s part of what makes the plays so exciting. “Anytime you’re doing a play outdoors, you never know what you’re going to get,” said Mia Moravis, producer and an actor for this year’s play, Twelfth Night. “But we love every bit of it. It’s a great thing. We’re subject to the caprice of Mother Nature, and that can only make an actor better.” Performances of Twelfth Night will take place over two weekends, the first of which is on Saturday, Aug. 5. This is the 10th year the Actors’ Circle Theatre’s has presented the series; past plays have included The Taming of the Shrew, The Merry Wives of Windsor, As You Like It, The Tempest, The Two Gentlemen of Verona and others. Twelfth Night tells the story of twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Presuming her brother dead, Viola comes ashore to Illyria disguised as a man named Cesario and begins working for Duke Orsino, with whom she falls in love. An absurd love triangle ensues when the object of Orsino’s affection, Countess Olivia, falls in love with Viola disguised as Cesario. “Things get really crazy when Sebastian ends up on the island as well,” Moravis said. “You’ve got quite a bit going on onstage.” ACT presented Twelfth Night a number of years ago, but as an indoor, standalone production. Director Chris McCartie, who started work on Shakespeare in the Park with Moravis in 2011, proposed reviving the play as part of this year’s series. “We haven’t done this one in the park yet, and it’s a popular play, so we decided that it was time to do it again,” McCartie said.

When: Saturdays, Aug. 5 and Aug. 12, and Sundays, Aug. 6 and Aug. 13, 5 p.m. Where: Depot Square Park, 11 School St., Peterborough Cost: Free Visit: actorscircletheatre.org

All but one of the 14 cast members have performed for Shakespeare in the Park before. Two of them even performed in the previous Twelfth Night production, as the same characters they’ll be playing this year. “This is a veteran cast,” McCartie said. “There’s a nice chemistry between these people. They’re friends off stage, and they’re comfortable acting together on stage.” While some Shakespeare in the Park plays have adopted modern and alternative interpretations, Twelfth Night will adhere to its traditional language, setting and costumes. But Moravis said it will still be very accessible to a modern audience. “We [the actors] have been directed very well by Chris to first understand what we’re saying before we usher the words to the audience,” she said. “If you understand what Shakespeare is saying, you can do it with the proper purport and the audience will know what’s going on.” In accordance with the play’s traditional approach, the set will be kept minimal and acoustic — no extravagant props, no added lighting, no recorded sound, and musical accompaniment will be performed by live musicians. “We’re trying to pare things down for this one,” McCartie said. “We want the focus to be on the story and the acting and want the audience to rely more on their imagination.”

Chuckster’s Family Fun Park already has the two longest miniature golf holes on the planet, in its Chichester and Vestal, N.Y., locations. So for owner Mark Blasko, recreating the feat for a third time was a charm. On Friday, Aug. 11, Blasko’s latest project is expected to come together, as a new Chuckster’s is scheduled to open in Hooksett. The five-acre park has been in the works for more than a year and will feature two brand new 18-hole miniature golf courses, one of which will include a 201-foot-long hole to match the length of those found in Vestal and Chichester. “The holes are completely different [from the other Chuckster’s courses]. There is not a single one that is duplicated,” Blasko said. Crews from the New JerseyChuckster’s Family Fun Park opening in Hooksett When: Opens to the public on Friday Aug. 11; hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 9 p.m. Where: 53 Hackett Hill Road, Hooksett Cost: Pricing for mini golf is $9.50 per one 18-hole round and $6 for ages 5 and under; golfers can play the second course on the same day only for a discounted price of $6.50 per round. The cost for ice cream ranges from $2.25 to $5.25, depending on the size. Visit: chucksters-hooksett.com

based Harris Miniature Golf have been working for months to build the new course, which has required more than two million pounds of concrete for the holes and thousands of square feet of carpet and wood to create the greens, retaining walls, bridges and steps, according to Blasko. In addition, almost 2,000 gallons of water will be used to fill the ponds and water fountains, some of which are even parts of the holes themselves. When visitors arrive they will enter through the ice cream barn — featuring 32 flavors of Blake’s ice cream — to pick up clubs, balls and scorecards. Heading out through the rear of the building, there are three short holes not affiliated with either of the two main courses. “The first thing you’re actual-

ly going to see when you come out here is the ‘world’s shortest minigolf hole, the ‘world’s easiest minigolf hole’ and the ‘world’s most difficult minigolf hole,’” Blasko said. “It’s just for fun, but the world’s longest minigolf hole is actually legitimate.” From there, golfers have a choice between the Fire Tower Course, which will feature a New Hampshire-style fire tower replica you can climb up into, and the Cave Course, which is entirely ADA accessible and begins with a hole played through a makeshift cave sprayed with gunite. At the end of each course, you’ll get a chance to win a free game by sinking a hole-in-one on the 19th hole. Although the designs of the holes are brand new, Blasko said the flow of water plays a major role in many

of them, similar to those at the other Chuckster’s courses. “There are actually 12 different ponds, and a lot of streams that interact with the holes,” he said. “[What] makes Chuckster’s unique is the holes interact with the water. So for instance, there will be one hole where if you hit the ball too hard and it ends up in the stream, it’ll actually go downstream and spit back out onto the green.” The first Chuckster’s miniature golf course opened in Chichester in 2007. Since then, Blasko has added more attractions like go-carts, batting cages and rock climbing walls. But he never stopped thinking about new ideas for minigolf holes. “In the back of my head, I kept forming all these new ideas for holes … and I visited courses 30

HIPPO | AUGUST 3 - 9, 2017 | PAGE 28

As a boy I was fascinated by the idea that Tarzan the Ape Man could move through the jungle above the forest floor by swinging from vine to vine. I doubt that I ever saw a real Tarzan movie, but my imagination was good. I knew I wanted that ability to swing from vines. Now I just grow them. Let’s look at a few so you can decide if you’d like to plant one this summer. Wisteria is a vine loved by many, particularly gardeners who have moved to New England from warmer parts of the country where it thrives. For decades, wisteria was a frustration for northern gardeners: it would grow nice green vines but never blossom. That was because it set buds one summer for blooms the next spring. It bloomed before growing leaves and shoots. Our winters in the North Country killed the buds. Then two new varieties appeared on the market: Blue Moon and Amethyst Falls. Both are hardy to Zone 4 (-30 in winter) and bloom on new shoots that appear each spring. Mine bloom in late June or early July for about 3 weeks. The scent of Amethyst Falls I do not find pleasant (overtones of cat?), but the blossoms are smaller than those on Blue Moon and seem to last longer. I grow it on a cedar trellis that serves as an entrance to my vegetable garden. The soil for my wisterias is rich, dark, and moist; they will grow anywhere, I think, given at least half a day of sun. The more sun, the more blossoms. I have heard from friends in southern New England that wisteria can be a pest because birds eat the seeds and spread them around, starting them at the edge of the woods. That has not happened for me. Clematis is another great vine. I have five kinds of clematis, and fully intend to buy another this summer — I just saw a great one while on a recent garden tour. That one, I learned from garden designer Cyndy Fine of Westminster, Vermont, is a Clematis viticella called Betty Corning. It blooms most of the summer and into the fall. It has nodding bell-shaped flowers that are lavender to blue. Hardy to Zone 3 (-40 degrees). The most vigorous, reliable of my clematis in one called Clematis jackmanii. It has nice purple blossoms and grows up wires I have attached to the front of my house. It easily grows 10 to 12 feet tall and blooms enthusiastically most of July. Then I have one called Clematis recta. Unlike most of the others, it does not climb up a trellis, but flops on the ground unless supported by something solid — a fence of some sort that can contain it. Its blossoms appear in huge clusters of small white blos-

soms, followed by delicate airy seed heads. It dies back to the ground each winter. But each year it gets bigger and more bodacious. All clematis want essentially the same thing: hot tops and cool feet. Plant perennials in front of your clematis to shade and cool the roots, but provide plenty of hot sun for the vines. They like rich soil, and plenty of moisture. Then there is an amazing vine form of hydrangea: Hydrangea anomala ssp. petiolaris. This will attach itself to brick or stone with holdfasts, as opposed to twining vines like wisteria and most clematis. I have it on the north side of my barn as it grows well and blooms without much need for sunshine. I originally used plastic ties to attach my climbing hydrangea to the barn, as its “feet” won’t grab wood. Now it has sent shoots in between the rough barn boards and it no longer needs support. It sends out “arms” 3 to 4 feet from the barn, each loaded with large white flower panicles that seem to defy gravity. Even in winter it is gorgeous. Dutchman’s pipe (Aristolochia macrophylla) is another vine I grow that is very adaptable. It will grow in crummy soil in sun to shade, but does not want to be terribly dry. It has huge leaves, and small white blossoms reminiscent of little ivory pipes. Once established, it would be impossible to pull out. I have it growing on the north side of my deck, and it climbs up and tries to twine around potted plants growing on the rail. It completely hides the mess beneath the deck! As for Tarzan, only wild grapes would do for his exploits. These are pests sometimes in the forest, as they can climb up trees and choke out nice trees. When I see that they are a problem, I cut them off at the base with roots loppers, a quick and easy — but temporary — solution. But the birds do love the fruit when it is ripe, so I often do nothing about them. Henry is the author of four gardening books. His website is Gardening-Guy.com.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, Enclosed are pictures of an old lamp post that I have been trying to identify. It appears to be cast brass with a hollow, plaster-filled base. There are no maker markings. The basket is thick red glass with brass trim. The base is 4¾’ x 3¼ x 3/8’. Overall height is 7¾’. The plaque is 1¼’ x 1’ with a message inscribed in French.

26 in Myrtle Beach, Orlando and all these other places where there are these great courses, and I really wanted to put them all in one place,” he said. So, unlike the other Chuckster’s, the Hooksett location is dedicated to just minigolf and ice cream. “Here, we’re focusing on minigolf, but on a much bigger scale,” Blasko said. “Minigolf and ice cream go hand in hand; you can’t do one without the other. But I’m kind of testing a theory of mine that minigolf and ice cream alone on a big scale is very viable and will be very popular.”

Monster treasure hunt

On Saturday, Aug. 5, Studio 550 Community Art Center (550 Elm St., Manchester) will release 100 tiny clay monsters into Manchester’s downtown as part of the Monsters on the Loose event. Kids of all ages are encouraged to find them and share their discoveries on Studio 550’s Facebook page. All monster finders get to keep the monsters in hand that they find, as well as the added bonus of being entered to win free admission to workshops and classes at the studio. This year, monster finders can also show their monsters to Dancing Lion Chocolate (917 Elm St.) to get a free edible chocolate coin. About half of the monsters will be out by 11 a.m., and the rest will be released throughout the day until 6 p.m. in public places in the heart of downtown, namely Elm Street between Bridge and Granite streets. Visit 550arts.com or call 232-5597 for more details.

Seeking insects

Join Amoskeag Fishways for the next event in its Saturday Nature Seekers series on Saturday, Aug. 5, from 11 a.m. to noon at the Learning & Visitors Center (4 Fletcher St., Manchester). The short programs focus on one animal every Saturday each month and offer fun crafts, games and more to learn about that animal. This is the first “Insect Investigation” theme, which will continue through the end of August. A donation of $5 per family is encouraged, and no pre-registration is required. Visit amoskeagfishways.org or call 626-3474. The new Chuckster’s is the first of several businesses planned for Granite Woods, a property off Interstate 93 that Blasko said is also set to include hotels, restaurants and more. Despite its being less than 20 miles away from the original Chuckster’s park, his hopes are high for success in Hooksett. “If you think about it, minigolf is kind of king in that just about everybody on the planet can play, from age 2 to 92,” he said. “Not everybody is going to want to hit baseballs or climb a rock wall or do a zip line, but with minigolf, every demographic is represented.”

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Knight in shining armor seeks a more permanent fix Dear Car Talk: The poor lady was in tears. The loud horn would not stop. She tried to remove the battery to her key remote, with no luck. We opened the hood, I removed By Ray Magliozzi one battery wire, and it stopped. I bought her some time, but how do you really stop the darned horn? — Svend We know it’s not the horn itself. The horn is clearly working. So it’s likely to be either the horn relay or the horn contacts. Start by checking the relay. You’ll find a box of relays under the hood. If they’re not labeled, you can just start pulling them out, one at a time, until the horn stops blowing. Often, there are several identical relays in that power-distribution box. So if you can find another one with the same plug-in pin configuration, swap the two of them. If the horn stays off, you’ve diagnosed the problem. Of course, now her windshield wipers will be on all the time, so you’ll still have to get a replacement relay in order to complete the repair. If, on the other hand, the horn starts up again when you plug in an identical relay, then the problem probably is with the horn

contacts, which are located in the horn pad — right in the middle of the steering wheel. That’s not something you’re going to fix yourself. The air bag is in there, and if you think dropping a brick on your big toe hurts, Svend, wait ‘til you set off an air bag 4 inches from your face. So if the mechanic removes the horn pad and the horn stops blowing, then obviously the problem is in the pad. And perhaps replacing it is in order. If the horn doesn’t stop when the horn pad is removed, then you could have a short further down the line. At that point, you’ll need to Google the wiring diagram for the car. But getting at least as far as the horn pad ought to get you to the point where she’ll introduce you to her parents, Svend. And then you can bring that wiring diagram to discuss with them over dinner. Dear Car Talk: I have a great 2000 Cadillac DeVille with 95,000 miles. It burns some oil. Can I change over to a synthetic oil now? Would that help with the oil burning? Thanks. — John You certainly can switch to synthetic oil, John, but it probably won’t help with the oil burning. It might have helped if you’d switched 85,000 miles ago.

You don’t say how much oil this great Cadillac is burning, but since you took the trouble to write to us, I’m guessing “a lot.” The “Northstar” engine they used in these cars is known for burning oil. But how much are you burning? So much that your car is enveloped in voluminous clouds of blue smoke whenever you stop at a light? Are little old ladies flipping you the bird as they pass you because your oil cloud is obscuring their view? If that’s the case, you’re probably burning a quart every few hundred miles. That suggests that something is wrong deep inside the engine, most likely bad rings. But if you’re burning a quart every 1,000 miles or more, you’re probably better off just trying to keep it from getting worse quickly. Here are a few suggestions: First, keep a close eye on the oil level. Oil burning usually gets worse over time. So if you’re used to checking it once a month and finding that it’s a quart low, start checking it twice a month. Otherwise, one day you’re going to do your monthly check, and find it’s down 2 quarts. And running the engine low on oil will only exacerbate the oil burning. Second, change the oil regularly. We’ve noticed that when some of our customers have cars that burn oil, they stop doing their oil changes. They figure, “Hey, I put in 4

new quarts over the past few months, so it’s already got all new oil!” But it doesn’t work that way. A lot of the old oil is still in there, and it’s trying to hold contaminants in suspension — until it gets so dirty that it can’t hold them in suspension anymore. So your oil still needs to be changed. And finally, you can consider switching to a slightly more-viscous oil. Using a thicker, molasses-like 20W-50 concoction used to be the go-to solution for old oil-burners. But with newer technology, I’d be cautious about switching viscosities. In fact, you really should check with your dealer’s service manager first. Your engine probably calls for 5W-30. And you might be able to go to a 10W-30, for instance, and see if it changes your burn rate at all. But because engines are so sophisticated now, and were designed and engineered for certain oils, gone are the days when you could just throw some 50-weight gear oil or Brylcreem in there and hope for the best. So concentrate on our first two suggestions, John. Keep the oil topped up between changes, and change it regularly. And based on your mileage, you’re only driving about 5,600 miles a year, so maybe you can tough it out for another 10 years or so. Visit Cartalk.com.

Full of hot air

Balloon rally returns to Pittsfield By Ethan Hogan

listings@hippopress.com

The hot air balloons often graze the Suncook River before going hundreds of feet into the air.

are encouraged to purchase food, crafts and rides, as a portion of the proceeds goes back to the Suncook Valley Rotary Club. The rotary club donates money to help end polio, raises money for scholarships and helps organize events for the Police and Fire departments. There will be fair fries, Mexican-style food truck cuisine, fried dough and many more food options at the rally. “I have never left the hot air balloon rally hungry,” said Reed. The weekend’s hot air balloon events are all dependant on weather and Reed said her team is doing an anti-rain dance.

114372

For one weekend every year, thousands of people converge in Pittsfield to see hot air balloons float over the small Suncook Valley town. This year, 14 hot air balloons will take off from Drake Field at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 4, to kick off the three-day event. The event has been held for 36 years, according to Fallon Reed, co-chair of the Balloon Rally. It was the summer before ninth grade when Reed’s family moved to Pittsfield and she first experienced the hot air balloons. Now, 16 years later, Reed is organizing the event, which she said never stops amazing her. “How many people in their lives get to say they’ve seen and touched a hot air balloon? It’s a great little gem in New Hampshire,” Reed said. “I’ve been hooked ever since.” The balloons weigh over 500 pounds and spectators will get to see the giants lift off at least three times over the course of the weekend, if weather permits, Reed said. The first scheduled takeoff is on Friday at 5:30 p.m., then again on Saturday at 5:50 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and Sunday at 5:30 a.m. The balloons drift across the Suncook Valley and usually stay within town but Reed said there have been years where the balloons end up in Concord or Northwood. “Once you get up there it’s wherever the wind takes you,” said Reed. If the weather is right, the pilots will try and dip their baskets into the Suncook River Reservoir. The maneuver makes for an amazing photograph, according to Reed. Tethered hot air balloon rides will also be available for $10 so attendees can experience the 100-foot-high flights. Reed took a tethered ride herself and said the experience was worth the long lines. “It was super surreal because you felt like you were in a bubble because it was so calm and so clear. If you were to sit on a cloud, that’s how I feel it would be,” Reed said. On Saturday, at 8:30 p.m. the hot air balloon pilots will fire up their propane engines and illuminate their balloons in the dark. Reed said they look like fireflies. The marquee feature of the weekend-long event is the hot air balloons, but there are also carnival rides, food, fireworks and helicopter rides. The $30-per-person helicopter rides give you a true aerial tour of the town. Reed said that each ride takes four people up for a scenic view of the area. While the pilots typically stay on the same pre-determined route, they have been known to take special requests so that people can get a view of their homes. Admission to the festival is free but guests

The Tupelo Music Hall is best known for its live music, but for one night, the Derry performance venue will cater more to foodies than music fans. On Friday, Aug. 11, the Tupelo will host its first-ever beer tasting dinner featuring four courses prepared by the Tupelo Executive Chef Jeannine Carney and paired with beers from 603 Brewery of Londonderry. The dinner comes a few months after the Tupelo’s relocation from its original 240seat venue in Londonderry to its current 700-seat venue in Derry. Carney and Tupelo owner Scott Hayward came up with the idea of hosting a beer dinner about a month and a half ago as a way to showcase the new venue’s full kitchen and bar and highlight local breweries. The former venue, Hayward said, didn’t have the accessibility or proper licensing for a beer dinner. “This seemed like a natural progression for us,” he said. “It’s just a different kind of Beer Tasting Dinner featuring 603 Brewery Where: Tupelo Music Hall, 10 A St., Derry When: Friday, Aug. 11, 6 p.m. Cost: $55.

The Tupelo’s bar will also be open throughout the event. At 7 p.m., the dinner will begin in the main theater. The first course will be goat cheese arancini with honey walnut drizzle and Dowie Farm pea tendrils, paired with 603 Winni Amber Ale.

For the third course there will be a juniper roasted chicken breast, quinoa kale grain medley with orange segments, grilled zucchini and summer squash ribbons, paired with 603 Mosaic Saison. Finally, the dessert course will be a deep dark chocolate stout cake with spent grain candy crumble and bourbon barrel salted caramel, paired with 603 Bourbon Barrel Stout. “[Carney] is trying to put together a cohesive meal with interesting pairings that showcase both the beer and the food,” Hayward said. “She actually went over to 603 Brewery and tasted their beer, found the ones she thought would go well with food and built the menu around that.” Carney will appear at the event to discuss each course and how it relates to its respective beer pairing. Representatives from 603 Brewery will also be there to talk about each beer and the process of brewing it. Hayward said he plans to add more beer dinners to the Tupelo’s calendar, featuring beer from different local breweries. “We have some great breweries around here,” he said. “We hope that by partnering with them we can show people both what our chef can do for food and what our area is capable of for producing beer.”

Foods with higher acidity are less prone to the spore, so they can be canned safely with the boiling water method (212 degrees). “[Pressure canning] can be quite a process, but it’s critical for low-acid foods,” Hamilton said. “Botulism can happen in home food processing, and if it does, it can be deadly.” In addition to the canning methods, Hamilton will discuss some general background information about food preservation, plus how long different foods can remain preserved, how to tell if preserved food has spoiled and how to handle spoiled food; and tips for safely blanching and freezing food. Finally, attendees will be given handouts summing up the techniques and facts covered in the workshop. “People will leave with a lot of good information and resources for where they can get more information and who they can call with questions,” Hamilton said.

It’s great paired with almost any warm-weather fare and perfect for entertaining,” co-owner and winemaker Amy LaBelle said. “This sangria is not too sweet because the flavors of the wine are balanced by the fresh citrus. It’s delicious with a touch of brandy and sparkling water.” This is LaBelle’s first new sangria since it released its red sangria Verano Sangria two years ago. Sangria Blanca is available in 25.4-ounce bottles for $16 and 12-ounce cans for $8. It was canned by Iron Heart Canning of Manchester

Don’t confuse the ramen soup featured on Noodles and Pearls’ menu with the instant stuff you can get for pennies at the grocery store; the new restaurant, set to open in downtown Concord later this month, will serve a more authentic version of the Asian staple using homemade broth, meat and vegetables. “We’re not just throwing chicken broth and noodles together. … We’re starting with authentic recipes [and] preparing and steaming all of our meats and broth,” said co-owner Richard Weisberg, who formerly owned Vanderbilt’s Delicatessen on Main Street. “So the meats will get marinated for maybe a day before they are steamed, which helps to lock in the flavor.” It’ll be one of the stars of the Noodles and Pearls menu, along with bubble tea and jianbing, two other popular Asian food items that Weisberg said will be new to the area. “I’ve been trying to identify … something that the Concord community would really respond to,” Weisberg said. Bubble tea, according to Weisberg, is served cold and prepared using soft, chewy tapioca balls or jelly balls placed at the bottom of the cup before a liquid is added. “There are three basic types of liquid you would use as a base,” he said. “There is generally a black tea, a dairy base and a soy base, like soy milk. … You usually add in either sweet tapioca balls or jelly balls first and then fill the liquid to the top. … We will rotate our flavors, so for example we might have a mango-flavored tea or juice that we’ll use and then switch it out from time to time with something else, like apple.” It was Weisberg’s business partner, Dongmei Wang, who suggested adding jianbing to the mix. The dish shares several basic components of ramen but in the form of a crepe rather than a soup. “It’s a very popular street Chinese food,” Weisberg said. “You start with a crepe and then add a layer of egg on top of it … and flip it over, so the egg is on the outside. Then from there, the ingredients that go in will be similar to what you can get in ramen. … [The crepe] then gets folded up into kind of an envelope shape, and you can walk down the street eating it.” Weisberg said he and Wang hope to establish a new option for getting your food quickly and efficiently while maintaining good quality. “For right now, I want to keep the menu small,” he said. “You know, I hate it when I walk into a place and there’s like 20 different things you have to choose from, and you have to figure out [how to order]. It’s terrifying.” Although there are hundreds of varieties of ramen and bubble tea that can be made, what

you’ll get at Noodles and Pearls to start with will be simple, but still with plenty of choices. “We’ll be offering the ramen and jianbing on a daily basis [with] some type of a meatbased broth and some type of vegetarian-based broth, so people will have their choice to start with there,” he said. “Then it will be a matter of whatever they choose to put in it, so we will be preparing delicious chicken and beef and pork, as well as different vegetable-type additions that would go in there.” Changes and additions may be made to the menu based on customers’ initial responses. “I understand that the American palate [of ramen] is not the same as the Asian palate all the time,” he said. “For example, a strictly authentic ramen broth could be very salty to the American tongue. So we’ll tone that down a little bit … and let the customers guide us in that way.” Twenty-four seats will be available inside the restaurant, including table seating and stool seating along the counter by the front window. In nice weather, tables and chairs may move onto the sidewalk for outdoor seating. “We’re not running a full-scale, full-service Chinese restaurant, [but] people on their lunch hour should be able to come in and be out of here in five or 10 minutes,” he said. “We want it to be something that is as quick to serve, but still as good as a really good slice of pizza.” Noodles and Pearls Opening date anticipated in early August. A Facebook page (facebook.com/noodlesandpearls) is currently in the works, and the opening date will be announced there when it is known.

Lisa Sopel Johnson had always dreamed of becoming an animation artist. Though she never landed the job, she found another way to put her artistic talents to use: making cakes. For years she made cakes for her family and friends before deciding to turn her hobby into a business.

Whisk together: 1 cup water ½ cup vegetable oil (or unsweetened applesauce)

4 large room-temperature egg whites (or ¼ cup mashed bananas for each egg white for dairy-free) 1 tablespoon pure vanilla bean paste (or 1 teaspoon of any flavored extract you’d like) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment, or line cupcake pan with 24 liners. Combine dry into wet ingredients slowly and mix until smooth. Do not overmix. Divide batter evenly into pan or liners. Bake cakes about 25 to 30 minutes and cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes.

FOOD

Berries

With your breakfast: Whether you eat a bowl of cereal, oatmeal or yogurt, add some berries. My favorite is plain low-fat Greek yogurt, a spoonful of local raw honey, granola and a scoop of local berries. Atop your salad: Skip the raisins or dried cranberries and instead scoop up some berries. Top a spinach salad with sliced almonds, berries, grilled salmon and bell peppers. Top with balsamic or citrus vinaigrette and you’ve got one healthy meal! In your smoothie: If you’ve let your berries linger too long and they’re overripe, freeze them as soon as possible.

4 Non-Dessert Ways to Enjoy Berries

“Best seafood on the planet!”

breakfast to dinner. They’re an incredible addition to any snack or meal because they are low in calories, dense in antioxidants and high in melatonin. Rather than baking them and coating them in sugar, let me suggest a few ways to enjoy berries that aren’t dessert. You won’t regret working these delicious bites into your day. Go ahead, make your cobblers and your pies. And definitely enjoy your berries fresh as they are, with no added ingredients at all. But if you want to add a little sweetness to a non-dessert meal, check out these options. — Allison Willson Dudas

COM FO R

It’s berry season here in New Hampshire. Raspberries and blueberries are everywhere I turn, including my backyard! It’s such an incredible time of year for local produce, and if your kids are anything like mine, your whole family is taking advantage. Berries like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries grow pretty well around these parts. Red raspberries are fairly hardy and high-bush blueberries flourish in much of southern New Hampshire. If you’re looking for information about growing your own, I recommend the UNH Cooperative Extension (extension. unh.edu). Their Food and Agriculture section is unparalleled as a resource for gardeners and farmers in the area. While berries are delicious when used in pies and cobblers and all the other desserts featuring berries, these amazing fruits can be used in anything from

7:00am - 1:00pm

In the summer, one of my beverages of choice is sangria. It is tart yet refreshing, fruity and best sipped cold. I like to make my own sangria so I know what is in it for sugar, but I don’t always have the time, or ingredients on hand, to make it. The next best thing is store-bought sangria. But who knew you could buy sangria in a box? Boxed wine has come a long way in terms of quality and freshness, and boxed sangria combines portability and convenience. Recently I tried two different kinds, with one edging out the other in terms of flavor and overall taste. You certainly do not buy Franzia boxed wine to be fancy. You buy it because it’s there and it looks good, and it is affordable. The box of Fruity Red Sangria we bought contained five bottles of wine and seemed like it was never going to run dry. We bought it for the Fourth of July, shared it, kept it in the fridge and drank a glass here or there for two weeks, and then finally finished it at another party. The Franzia scored high points for freshness, as even after a couple weeks it did not lose its flavor. However, we found it to be a bit tart right from the start and we preferred it combined with some club soda. It also gave me awful heartburn; again, we didn’t buy it for its quality. The second boxed sangria was Beso Del Sol Red, which is in a flashy black box with dots on it. If you buy it once, you cannot miss it. It is made with Spanish tempranillo grapes and blended with fruit. This bag in abox contains four bottles or three liters and should be fresh for six weeks once opened. This wine said sangria to me: fruity, smooth, with a slight and pleasant tartness. It is like the sangria I always intend to make but I am not always quite successful at making. Buying it already made is a perfect solution. It is also in a nice convenient box that doesn’t scream “cheap!” but instead says, “I am fun and I am here to have a good time.” This one will also leave you with less heartburn the next morning. While both boxed sangrias were around the same price (approximately $15) I would purchase the Beso Del Sol again over the Franzia. You may get one less liter, but it will be worth it when you don’t have to wake up the next morning and down a bottle of Tums. It also tastes better (you could still mix it with club soda for some fizz). You should be able to find it at your local grocery store.

Flag Hill new releases

This week it is Flag Hill Distillery & Winery’s turn in the spotlight. The Lee winery has two new releases: Tart Cherry Fruit Wine and Sparkling Apple Cranberry Wine. The cherry wine is available now and is described as an ode to cherry pie like grandma used to make: “On the nose it is grandma’s cherry pie. The first sip is full of tart cherry giving way to a nice balance of gentle tannins and dark fruit acidity.” It sounds delicious, and like a great wine for summer sipping. I am long, long overdue for a visit to Flag Hill. If this cherry wine isn’t one reason to visit, then the soon to be released apple cranberry wine doubles the reasons to get there soon. The tentative release date is Aug. 8. If you like to plan ahead, then save the date of Oct. 28, when Flag Hill will be releasing an 11-year-old apple brandy. More details are going to be coming, but mark your calendar for this celebration. If you can’t wait until October — and why would you want to with all these great offerings? — then head to Flag Hill in Lee for a visit. It is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Public tours are held on weekends at noon. Guests can taste either wine or spirits.

The photogenic singer’s fifth album is a haunting backward step to her 2012 Born to Die debut, but with a bit more hip-hop in its veins. If you’re not familiar with her, imagine a waifish Adele after a quarter-fifth of vodka, the mourning longing tones impelled by a lot of bedroom-ready echo, this kind of thing. If I have to pick one quibble, it’s with the predictability of the contents, although the Phil Spector girl group ballad “Love” emulates The Crystals after an all-night bender quite admirably, proffering a nice unhealthy amount of Raveonettes-level beach-angst, but that’s nothing compared to the “Take off your clothes” refrain swimming through the title track’s interplay with The Weeknd, whose falsetto is in full getit-on mode. The amniotic, subatomic incidental percussion on the absolutely drugged-sounding “Cherry” is pretty irresistible, but I wasn’t wildly impressed with the perfunctory “Beautiful People Beautiful Problems,” which comes off like something that was hastily cobbled together in order to take advantage of Stevie Nicks showing up for a one-off. That said, there’s nothing truly awful here. B+ — Eric W. Saeger

The backstory of this EP is rooted in Said’s childhood, growing up in an Egyptian immigrant family in rural Tennessee, a real-life sitcom situation that might be untenable today, what with — oh, you know the deal. Except for the whirling zydeco of “Travelling Minus Zero,” her last record, No Turn Left Behind, was basically a tryout for a Sheryl Crow cover band, but this time out, focused on a desire to drop a quick EP with passion pegged and purposely little planning — she’s found her inner Natalie Merchant, and a bit of an inner Chrissie Hynde while she’s at it. “Some Dudes,” the opener, unveils Said’s fetish for early booze-blues Rolling Stones with some rough-and-tumble slide-guitar moves that are so nasty you half-expect Kim Deal to sing a bar or two; the Chrissie side rears its head on “Regular Guy”; “Peel the Moon” evokes solo Natalie. Straightforward stuff throughout, bolstered by a hard-wired ability to draw out her notes until they work. B — Eric W. Saeger

• Oh no, it’s off to my least favorite place in all of Neil deGrasse Tyson’s universe, Lowell, Massachusetts! Scientists have studied the hair-trigger tempers of the denizens of that little mini-Bronx for use in the military with mixed results. But I must put that aside and focus on the rock ’n’ roll music coming from the alligator-centaur monsters who comprise Pvris, as they have their second album coming out Aug. 4 titled All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell. This sounds deep, for a band that started out as one of those gorillion metalcore bands that had one singer doing an Exorcist shtick while the other guy sang sort of normal. Thus our Question of the Day: “What do these guys sound like now?” Well, first, it’s not all guys anymore — the singer is now a girl! And this one song, “Heaven,” is wicked cool, like Evanescence but not lame, sort of ghostly and weird, but with this new girl’s American Idol singing, which is good. Does she know she’s in Lowell? Someone needs to tell her right away! • So anyway, Randy Newman has a new album coming out, which he has decided to call Dark Matter. He’s — oh, come on, you know this guy, he looks like a fat rubber Roy Orbison doll on a piano, singing all those snarky songs about short people who should just jump off buildings because they’re so, you know, ha ha, short, so funny, and the little rascal is at it again, because the first song is called “Putin,” see what he’s doing there? Let’s go listen to it! Ha ha, it’s a new piano joke song, I love it, and he still sounds like Chef from South Park while he sings about “Putin puttin’ his hat on” and driving a farm tractor and beating up Turkey if it’s ever needed. This is so witty and informative! • Igloo-dwelling Canadian indie nobodies Walter TV were due for an album, and here it is, their third, Carpe Diem! (That’s Canadian for “Were you able to sit through the entire video for “Puka Shell Necklace” without being glad you’re not in the band Walter TV?”). Who do these guys think they are, The Residents? The Orb? Let’s go see if they’ve finally just sold out and made some nice ringtones for Ford Fiesta commercials or some idiotic thingamajig. here’s a song, called “Graceland.” It’s a bunch of nonsense again, like Vampire Weekend getting beaten silly by Flaming Lips when whatsisface from Flaming Lips is extra stoned. I can’t seem to like this, even though I’m trying extra super hard. • Naomi Punk is, of course, made up of three guys from Olympia, Washington (I love that gimmick, don’t you? Of course you do!). Their new record, Yellow, features a single called “Chains,” a slow, deconstructionist punk number that made me think of Jim Thirlwell except no guitar ability. Trippy yet moronic. — Eric W. Saeger

Old stomping grounds

Former resident on new books and returning to NH

Meghan Kenny timed her summer venture to New Hampshire so she can attend the MacDowell Colony’s Medal Day — which this year honors filmmaker David Lynch — with her family on Aug. 13. “It’s a beautiful place, if you haven’t been there before. It’s the only day during the whole year they open it up to the public. If it’s nice out, you can wander through various studios [housing] writers, painters or musicians. Often times, there are some pretty famous people hanging out there,” said Kenny, a Pennsylvania writer who attended the Derryfield School in the ’90s and who returns to the state regularly to visit her family’s house in Grantham. While going to Medal Day is a top item on her agenda, Kenny figured that while she’s here, it made sense to hold a few author events promoting her own short story collection Love Is No Small Thing: Stories, published in March by LSU Press. Her only New Hampshire stop is Thursday, Aug. 3, at Milford’s Toadstool Bookshop. One of the stories in her collection, “These Things Happen,” is set in a small coffee shop inspired by one she used to frequent in Milford. Another, “The Genius of Love,” takes place in Vermont. The rest are set around the country, from Idaho, where she earned her MFA in creative writing at Boise State University, to Wisconsin, where her grandparents lived. All are stand-alones and tackle the theme of love in one way or another, from familial relationships and romance to the love between old friends. There are tales of infidelity, disappointments, losses and expectations, which are delivered via bird sanctuaries, cross-country road trips, Halloween nights and skydiving. “I think [love] is sort of a mystery, but also the core of humanity and human nature. I think we all want to love and be loved. And of course, [love] doesn’t always go according to plan or very smoothly. And then in those times, it’s about, how do people reset, refocus and push on?” Kenny said via phone. It’s a busy time for Kenny. She teaches at Lancaster Country Day School in Pennsylvania and for the Gotham Writers Workshop, which is based in New York but offers classes online. This fall, she leads a Contemporary American Writers course at Johns Hopkins University.

In addition, she’s readying for the release of her first novel, The Driest Season, to be published by W.W. Norton in February 2018, about a teen and her family who struggle to move on after she finds her father hanging in their barn. Both books have been “a long time coming.” Kenny started the collection in graduate school but struggled to find an agent when she first tried to sell it about 10 years ago. “When they kept saying, ‘Oh, we like your stuff, but we’d like to see a novel,’ I put the stories aside and spent years writing the novel. By the time I went out to get an agent, I’d written more short stories and had changed the nature of the collection,” she said. “I don’t think it was really apparent to me [the collection] was about love until I started putting it together again.” Kenny credits, in part, teachers at The Derryfield School and the setting of her old home for her love of reading and writing. She has since learned a lot about the craft — mostly, that you’re not going to feel like you know what you’re doing, particularly with a novel. The trick is to push forward anyway. “I think having a lot of time in the woods allows you to have an active imagination,” Kenny said. “But it’s really hard. I don’t know any better how to write the next one. It sounds kind of foolish, and it’s true.”

POP CULTURE BOOKS

If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look On My Face? by Alan Alda (Random House, 197 pages) Alan Alda, best known as Hawkeye Pierce on M*A*S*H, really wants people to be able to communicate with each other. Years ago, when working on a science show that required he conduct interviews with the experts, Alda realized that the improvisational acting training he had received earlier in his career came in handy when conducting those interviews. Alda asked himself: What if non-actors were taught these improv techniques? Would it make a difference in how they communicate? In If I Understood You, Alda tells the story of an improv workshop he took in his teens. Initially he didn’t want to take the class, but after completing it he discovered that his acting skills greatly improved. He was taught to read body language and to appeal to his audience instead of focusing only on his message. The workshop improved his acting as well as his day-to-day communications. Fired up, Alda began talking to communication experts. He helped found the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, where researchers started to hold workshops and do further study of communication. In particular their focus was working with groups that are less intuitive (typically scientists) to help them communicate with other groups that are more intuitive (artists, actors). Through years of study and many discussions, and by observing improvisational workshops, Alda discovered that yes, acting skills could be used by nonactors in order to assure better and more effective communication. In a nutshell: Alda believes that if you can’t convey what you are doing in terms that your audience understands, then you won’t be able to convey what you are doing. And if no one knows what you are doing, chances are that any kind of funding or attention for the product will quickly dry up. You have to be able to read your audience and you need to be able to anticipate what they require and then provide that information. Alda points out that often communication revolves around creating a story or dialogue. If, for example, you are a scien-

tist and want to apply for grant money you might be tempted to fall back into technical jargon (what you feel comfortable with) instead of using language more appropriate for your audience to understand. In one instance, he counseled a scientist to find one specific aspect of his work and create a story on why that aspect was important and what made it exciting. The scientist engaged his audience, made it exciting and ultimately got his grant money. Alda also tells another story about the cast of M*A*S*H where, between filming takes, instead of going to their trailers and being alone, the actors would sit in a circle and spend the time telling jokes and stories. Alda says the result was deep communication, which helped the actors better relate to each other when they were acting. If I Understood You is a good book for anyone who wants to learn about “soft skills,” and it’s an interesting take on how communication occurs. Alda’s approach is different and it will work well with some (those who are tuned into emotion) and less with others. There is some repetition of ideas in the book, almost as if Alda really, really, really wants us to get these concepts; it’s relatively benign, but still, it’s there. We all know that Alda is a funny guy who uses a lot of self-deprecating humor. He apologizes often in the book — he’s not a scientist, he didn’t study, he’s not this or that. I’m not sure whether it’s intended to be humorous or not, but all the apologies do get a little old. Alda’s got an interesting idea on how effective communication happens and he’s worked as an actor (probably the world’s best communication job) — those credentials qualify him to speak his mind with authority. Bottom line? It’s a very interesting model for communication. I find myself thinking about Alda’s advice on improv when I’m talking with others. The book is good but not great. Another edit to remove some of the humor and to clean up some of the repetition and you’d have a handy little guide on using attentiveness, intuition and improvisational skills in order to communicate. B — Wendy E.N. Thomas

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Atomic Blonde (R)

Charlize Theron is a British secret agent in November 1989 Berlin in Atomic Blonde, a melted together lump of 1980s compilation CDs, fight scenes and visual fanciness that made for a good trailer but a slog of a movie.

Maybe two and a half good minutes was all this movie had in it. Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is a British spy sent to Berlin to work with David Percival (James McAvoy), another British spy, after the death of spy James Gascoigne (Sam Hargrave), who also was Lorraine’s secret boyfriend. Gascoigne died during an operation to secure a list that features the names and work histories of oodles of western spies operating against the Soviet Union. A Soviet operative (Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson) killed Gascoigne and stole the watch containing the list. But rather than take it to his bosses, he intends to sell it to the highest bidder. These are the last days of the divided Berlin, so to search for the list and for a mole in British intelligence, Lorraine has to operate on both sides of the wall. Spies and government agents abound and include a shifty East German (Roland Møller) and a French operative (Sofia Boutella). Throughout, we hear the story relayed in flashback by Lorraine to MI6 officers (Toby Jones, James Faulkner) and a CIA officer (John Goodman). Theron’s bleach blond hair and her crisp black, gray and white (and occasionally red and metallic) wardrobe; the hits of the 1980s, specifically “Der Kommissar” and “99 Luftballons”; fight scenes of close combat between Lorraine and assorted henchmen; a bunch of spy bric-a-brac about East and West Berlin; some bad-musicvideo-ish sex scenes — this collection of bedazzlements filled the trailer and suggested, if nothing else, a fun action movie. But the movie itself is nothing but more of this stuff, with nothing of heft or weight underneath. Atomic Blonde is all puffy paint with no acid-washed denim jacket. Ultimately the movie doesn’t hang together because all of the stuff thrown at it to sexy it up has nothing to stick to. The story feels very “intro to spy plots” and the mystery of the double agent is not particularly interesting and is

AT THE MULTIPLEX

3/4 of the Way Through Summer edition August, with its quieter new release schedule, is a great time to go back and see some of the summer’s best films still in theaters. Here are a few worth seeking out: *Wonder Woman (PG-13)

Atomic Blonde

resolved in a way that makes much of what came before feel pointless. The performances are dodgy; Theron in particular feels flat. (Rooting for Theron feels like the element that would make all this noise enjoyable but I never felt anything but — to borrow from the Emoji review — “meh” for her character.) Occasionally, some of the fight scenes have the kind of coolness of choreography that hand-to-hand combat can have, especially when one or two people are fighting one or two people, but they tend to feel rather plopped into the movie — “here is your fun fight scene,” without a lot of stakes or connection to the plot. Maybe because the trailers had me expecting better, I left Atomic Blonde not just disappointed but annoyed that this is the best the movie could do with its stars, setting (the turmoil of the end of the Cold War has plenty of narrative possibility) and the promise of a kick-butt heroine (Or anti-heroine, even; Theron as a coherent anti-heroine character would have been fine too. Instead, all her character work seems outfit-based.) From afar Atomic Blonde looked like some glittery superhero fun but in reality it is nothing but a pile of sparkly junk. CRated R for sequences of strong violence, language throughout, and some sexuality/nudity. Directed by David Leitch with a screenplay by Kurt Johnstad (based on the Oni Press graphic novel series The Coldest City by Antony Johnston and Sam Hart),

Gal Gadot, Robin Wright. Also rounding out the badass lady cast are Connie Nelson and Lucy Davis. Chris Pine plays a very credible love interest for a warrior as awesome as Diana, princess of the Amazons. If you’re going to see one big summer superhero extravaganza, make it this

Atomic Blonde is an hour and 55 minutes long and distributed by Focus Features.

The Emoji Movie (PG)

Smiley-face and hand-gesture icons get inner lives in the animated The Emoji Movie, which, if things on your phone can be a movie why not The iOS Software Update Movie or The Find My iPhone Movie?

Actually, I’ll bet somewhere, someone is working on a The Find My iPhone Movie starring, like, Liam Neeson. Gene (voice of T.J. Miller) is a “meh” face just like his mom (voice of Jennifer Coolidge) and dad (voice of Steven Wright). But he can’t seem to hold the expression all the time, frequently breaking out into smiles or tears or heart-eyes. This is no good for his success in Textopolis. His job is to wait in his cube for the user, high school freshman Alex (voice of Jake T. Austin), to pick him for a text or email. If he isn’t making the correct face, Alex will lose faith in the phone and take it to tech support for a reset that will delete everyone, so argues perky emoji dictator Smiler (voice of Maya Rudolph). After Gene messes up his “meh” face on his first day as a textable emoji, Smiler decides he is defective and plans to have some virus-seeking bots delete him. Gene runs from the bots, ending up with Hi-5 (voice of James Corden), a once popular emoji desperate to regain his favored

Stark/Iron Man. If you are going to see two big summer superhero movies, make this the second one. This SpiderMan, back where he belongs as a high schooler still learning the rules of both the great power/responsibility thing and of, like, girls, is solidly rooted in his Queens neighborhood, with smaller stakes

status now that he has been replaced by Fist Bump (voice of Thom Bishops). After hiding out in a kind of basement rec room for seldom used emojis, Hi-5 and Gene decide to leave their app in search of the piracy app and a hacker named Jailbreak (voice of Anna Faris) who they hope can change the source code and make Hi-5 popular and Gene more “meh.” Jailbreak agrees to help, hoping that she can first use Gene’s changeability to help her break the firewall password so she can go live on the cloud. Providing a sense of urgency is Alex’s upcoming appointment with tech support, where he has decided to take his phone after several Gene-caused glitches. With the characters hopping out of their app and into other apps (Candy Crush, a dance game, the piracy app), I get the sense that this movie is going for a Wreck-It Ralph vibe. That far superior animated movie featured video game characters moving through different games and having problems and inner turmoil. The Emoji Movie is a very weak knock-off. While I did find myself genuinely charmed by James Corden’s voice work (and Maya Rudolph’s, and Patrick Stewart, who voices the poo emoji), I think that has more to do with those actors than anything they were given to do here. I could never really bring myself to care about Gene and his problems, which felt very thinly sketched and conveyed with no nuance or interest. There is very little subtext to this texting movie and very little visual delight or creativity to their adventures. The humor is one-note and unsurprising; if you think the scene is setting up for a poop joke then that is exactly the joke they make in exactly the way you expect it. And I never really got a sense of who this movie was supposed to be for — teenagers? The comedy seems rather tame for them and geared younger than the freshman-aged human protagonist. Younger kids? The action doesn’t feel goofy or fun enough. The Emoji Movie feels like a rush to capitalize on a vague idea that “kids like emojis!” without really thinking about how to do it or why to bother. CRated PG for rude humor. Directed by Tony Leondis with a screenplay by Tony Leondis & Eric Siegel and Mike White, The Emoji Movie is an hour and 26 minutes long and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

NITE Charmed Local music news & events

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

• Beach bash: In the wake of a controversial new curfew, one-man army Zach Deputy will bring good vibrations to a popular beach destination, with support and positivity from Freevolt and newly crowned rhythm queen Sarah Blacker. Doing their best Footloose city council impression, Hampton selectmen pulled the plug on live outdoor music after 11 p.m. at the bar. On the upside, they didn’t ban dancing. Go Thursday, Aug. 3, at 8 p.m., Bernie’s Beach Bar, 73 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton Beach. See berniesbeachbar.com. • Rough texture: Tim Boucher, better known as Scrimmy the Dirtbag, celebrates a new solo disc with a local show. Judging from lead single “Spacedocking,” which features barrel-chested vocals and a cello, Terrible Animals should be a raucous effort from the hirsute wild man leader of Yankee Cockfight. Also on the bill are Cactus Attack and Jimmy Swope. Go Saturday, Aug. 5, 9 p.m., Shaskeen Pub, 909 Elm St., Manchester. For more go to facebook.com/yankeecockfight1978. • Boldly going: The latest addition to area arts debuts with a show headlined by Alexandru Sabau, with Ugly Swan, New English and Shiver Potion. SINK Music & Fine Arts Venue is a joint effort from Katie Zapatka and Justin Chadbourne “created for the pure love of art and music and nothing else.” The space will have plenty of action on the walls – the two are both photographers. Go Saturday, Aug. 5, 9 p.m. SINK Music & Fine Arts Venue, 48 Bridge St., Nashua. Tickets $10, BYOB. See bit.ly/2ub3yCE. • Blooming roots: A formal Colonial Revival-style garden is the setting for Reggae ‘N Roses, an outdoor event starring Jah Spirit. Admission to the annual event includes catered appetizers, beer and wine, with proceeds going to a fund to preserve the nonprofit public garden. Walk among the flowers and enjoy one of the region’s top reggae bands, a favorite since 1984. Go Friday, Aug. 4, at 5:30 p.m. Fuller Gardens, 10 Willow Ave., North Hampton.

New England Country Music Festival hits third year By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

When the first New England Country Music Festival launched in 2015, its creators waited nervously to see if the region’s perceived love for country music would bear out. The show, held at Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth, was more than a success, right down to the weather. The following year, it got even better. In 2017, the third edition stars Frankie Ballard with supporting acts Michael Ray and William Michael Morgan, and advance sales are moving at a record pace. “It’s only grown,” promoter Amanda Morneault said recently of the all-day, family-friendly event. “At a month out we’d distributed more tickets than we had attendees last year, so we are smooth sailing.” Between them, the three acts topping the bill have multiple Top 10 country hits. Ballard did it three times on his debut CD Sunshine & Whiskey, with “Helluva Life,” “Young & Crazy” and the title cut all charting. His 2016 disc El Rio was named one of Rolling Stone’s 25 best country albums of that year. Ballard has a vintage style, but a rock ’n’ roll heart. He grew up in Detroit listening to classic rock, and his newest single is a cover of Bob Seger’s “You’ll Accompany Me.” He embodies Tom Petty’s observation in a recent interview: “Today’s country music is 1970s rock.” “We actually wanted him last year so the fact that we were able to make this happen in Year 3 was even bigger,” said Morneault. “He is a really great guy to work with, and I’ve always loved his music.” Ray has matinee idol looks — he recently appeared on the hit series Nashville — to go with songwriting, playing and singing talents that have many talking about him as the next Luke Bryan. “He has ‘Kiss You in the Morning,’ his first No. 1 hit, and then ‘Think a Little Less’ was also No. 1,” Morneault said. “He just released ‘Get to You,’ which will climb, too. … He has all-star power, and we’re really lucky to get him. By next year he might be out of our budget.” A 24-year-old native of Vicksburg, Mis-

sissippi, Morgan dropped his first album, Vinyl, in 2016. It went to No. 5 on the U.S. country charts and yielded the No. 2 hit “I Met a Girl.” Morgan appeals to purists, with plenty of twang and pedal steel guitar. A big part of the festival’s first two years were regional acts given a chance to hit a bigger stage. That continues, with a luminous undercard including Timmy Brown, Jimmy Connor, Casey Derhak and Paige Davis. “Timmy is phenomenal, a little bit older but he has a great band with him and just released a single,” Morneault said. “He is opening for some bigger artists and he is in high demand. I tried to book him for other local shows and his calendar was full.” Connor is a returning favorite. The 17-year-old singer-guitarist got a career boost when Hunter Hayes noticed him holding a sign that read, “Can I sing with you?” at one of his concerts.

He was born at Pease Air Force Base, now the site of Red Hook Brewery, the festival venue. Several of his songs have been recorded by other artists, and he recently moved to Nashville. “He is definitely one to watch,” Morneault said. “I would not be surprised if he crosses over from country to more on the pop end of the spectrum.” Fingers crossed for good weather, the lucky third festival looks more than promising for Morneault and Harbor Agency partner Chris Whynock. “This is definitely an all-star lineup,” she said. “We are working really hard to get everything buttoned up so we can enjoy the show.” New England Country Music Festival When: Sunday, Aug. 6, 1 p.m. Where: Redhook Brewery, 1 Redhook Way, Portsmouth Tickets: $15 to $85 at eventbrite.com

NITE MUSIC THIS WEEK

By Mel Brooks

August 2nd - 13th

Want to make it big on Broadway? Produce a stinker of a play! Or at least that is the scheme hatched by a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer, Max Bialystock, and a peculiar accountant, Leo Bloom. Sounds easy, right… but what if the play turns out to be a hit?! Winner of a record 12 Tony Awards, Broadway comes to Peterborough with this gloriously entertaining, insanely funny musical.

Declaration of Principles

In Spiritualism there is no dogma or creed, but we use this Declaration of Principles to explain what we are aspiring to spiritually, and what the underlying beliefs are that Spiritualists share.

• We believe in Infinite Intelligence • We believe that the phenomena of nature, both physical and spiritual, are the expression of Infinite Intelligence. • We believe that a correct understanding of such expression and living in accordance therewith, constitute true religion. • We affirm that the existence and personal identity of the individual continue after the change called death. • We affirm that communication with the so-called dead is a fact, scientifically proven by the phenomenon of Spiritualism. • We believe that the highest morality is contained in the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” • We affirm the moral responsibility of individuals and that we make our own happiness or unhappiness as we obey or disobey Nature’s physical and spiritual laws. • We affirm that the doorway to reformation is never closed against any soul here or hereafter. • We affirm that the precepts of Prophecy and Healing are Divine attributes proven through Mediumship

have explained that you don’t dance, you just stand around looking cool. You’re going to have to figure it out for yourself. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) People at school didn’t care that I had an audition for Touched by an Angel, and, weirdly, casting directors didn’t care that I had a four-page French assignment or that Courtney from choir was being mean to me for NO REASON. Everyone’s wrapped up in their own thing. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Once I realized (to my great relief) that Hollywood Party Girl was something I was not destined to be, I found increasingly joyous ways to spend my time. Give up on a futile pursuit. Aries (March 21 – April 19) I’d only ever performed in front of an audience before. ... The audience gave you energy; their presence filled the room with a kind of electricity …. The “audience” on a film set was just your director and the perpetually bored crew. You provide your own energy. Taurus (April 20 – May 20) I started getting calls from the same friends … now in the first months of their sophomore year. … they were no longer overwhelmed by newness or possibility. They had gone back to the same place, and the same friends — some of whom they had made hastily — and now they were lost. Things can get challenging when the newness wears off. Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Things that crack you up while you’re filming can go over like a lead balloon in the movie, and things that feel stilted and boring on set can be tense and exciting for a viewer. Compare notes. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) How did pumpkin become this embarrassing thing to love but bacon is still the cool flavor to add to everything? I don’t have anything against bacon; just don’t come after pumpkin like it’s a crime to love an American staple. But don’t try to force the season.

All quotes are from Scrappy Little Nobody, by Anna Kendrick, born Aug. 9, 1985. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) ... I watched the 1982 film version of Annie with my family and my world exploded. These girls were dancing, singing, causing trouble, and playing with dogs — I needed this to be in my life. Dance. Sing. Play with dogs. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) During free period, even on the rare Maine sunny day, I’d stay in the cafeteria and do my Latin homework. Not because I was smart, but because I assumed the fabric of the universe would disintegrate if I didn’t. It won’t, but you still should. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) Never, ever, even if she is on the brink of hypothermia, let your taller, blonder friend borrow your favorite pea coat. You look good in that coat. But she will look better. And you’ll never be able to unsee it. Friendships have been ruined for less. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Short girls: get it tailored. For GOD’S SAKE, get it tailored! … we don’t wear business clothes or silk dresses in [Pitch Perfect], we wear T-shirts and denim jackets, and still, alterations are made. … Don’t just take the sleeve up at the wrist, take IN the width of the sleeve. It’s a game changer. That unisex T-shirt looks like a Hefty bag on you. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) People who grew up in major cities may wonder why the hell I would act like it’s a big deal to be unaccompanied in New York City at that age. It’s populated with both adults and children, it’s a functioning metropolis. … Conversely, people from suburban areas act like my parents sent me wandering around the site of the Baby Jessica well, blindfolded and holding a flaming baton. So pick a side and prepare to judge me either way! There are other viewpoints. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) “Why isn’t anyone dancing?” I shouted. If this had been the TV version of my life, a character would

Good fortune quickly turned to horror for a man in Allyn, Washington, who scored some raccoon roadkill to use as crab-trap bait on June 25. As the unidentified man walked toward home dragging the carcass behind him on a 15-foot rope (so he couldn’t smell it), two different vehicles stopped, and their occupants, mistakenly thinking he was dragging a dead dog, began berating the would-be fisherman. As the dispute heated up, someone produced a gun, shooting the man twice in the leg before he was struck by one of the vehicles as the assailants fled.

Bright ideas

Right here in New Hampshire on June 29, a state police officer stopped the 57-yearold driver of a Honda Odyssey minivan who had piled a Beverly Hillbillies-esque stack of belongings on top of his car. The collection, which was about as tall as the minivan, included a wooden chest, a bike, a floor lamp, a rake, a snow shovel, a moving dolly and a folding ladder, along with blankets and towels and a shopping cart full of items hanging off the back. Police cited the driver for negligent driving, and the car was towed away.

Sorry I missed it

A Canada Day parade in southern Ontario sparked a flood of typically mild protests over Dave Szusz’s float, which featured a 3-meter-tall blow-up Jesus (holding a baby sheep) and several real sheep. “I thought it was kind of sad to see sheep out with very loud blasting music, out in the heat in the city,” said animal rights activist Dan MacDonald. Others flooded Szusz with complaints on Facebook. Szusz and MacDonald have since talked it out, although MacDonald still hopes Szusz will discontinue using sheep on his floats.

• Six suspects in a June 25 Denver mugging counted among their spoils the victim’s brand-new iPhone. After using Ryan Coupens’ credit cards at a nearby Walgreens, the thieves used the phone to post a Snapchat story about their shenanigans to Coupens’ account, where his friends and police could clearly see some of their faces. • A repeat offender came to the end of his career when he and an accomplice tried to burglarize a home in East Macon, Georgia, on June 19. As James Robert Young, 41, a 35-time resident in the Bibb County jail, and another man zeroed in on her television, the homeowner woke up and heard them. “When she yelled, the men ran out,” said Sheriff David Davis, and that was when the other suspect turned around and fired his weapon, striking Young in the head, killing him. The accomplice is still at large.

Family values

Flower girls at weddings often steal the show, and Georgiana Arlt of Chaska, Minnesota, was no exception as she walked down the aisle on July 1. The 92-year-old grandmother of the bride, Abby Arlt, told her granddaughter the only other wedding she had been in was her own, when she was 20 years old. Abby had hoped to have her grandfather as the ring bearer, but he passed away last year.

Oops!

• What seemed like the best hide-andseek idea ever took a frightening turn on July 6 in Colonial Heights, Virginia, when a 12-year-old girl became stuck in a sleeper sofa. Another child called 911 when she couldn’t free her friend. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” said fire chief A.G. Moore. “When she got out, she was fine.” • In Green Bay, Wisconsin, a driver crossing the Walnut Street Bridge on June 22 disregarded the traffic arm and drove around it onto the drawbridge as it was opening. His van ascended the opening span, but then rolled back down into the gap between the stationary bridge and the moveable span. Green Bay Metro firefighters, concerned that the van might slip through the gap, cut a hole in its roof to rescue the driver.

Suspicions confirmed

Karen Leclair, 51, of Albion, Pennsylvania, was reported missing on June 11 by her commercial fisherman husband, Christopher, 48, after she went over the side of his boat on Lake Erie. Christopher told police he hadn’t

been watching when his wife fell overboard. When her body washed ashore on July 4 in upstate New York, however, she had a gunshot wound in her head, and she was bound by nylon fishing rope and weighted with an anchor. Christopher was charged with her murder after the gun used to shoot Karen was found under a bed in their home.

Oh, those monkeys

A monkey mystery unfolded near Mesa, Arizona, in early July as drone owner Jesse Sorensan dispatched his device over a facility rumored to house abandoned monkeys. “Hovered above it and took some pictures ... and sure enough there’s monkeys in almost all the cages,” said Sorensan. “What are these monkeys doing ... in the middle of the desert?” Local TV reporters looked into the mystery and found the facility is used for research and breeding for the University of Washington and the Centers for Disease Control, who were quick to point out that the monkeys have access to air conditioning and veterinary care.

Pre-existing conditions

Police in Dearborn, Michigan, are hoping a thief’s unusual loot may draw him back to the scene of the crime. Surveillance video at a Walgreens store captured a bald man making off with seven boxes of Rogaine, a hair-growth product, on June 22. “While this is not the most hair-raising crime ... it is suspected he will continue committing this type of crime, as 12 to 14 months of consistent use is needed to see results,” Police Chief Ronald Haddad said in a news release.
