About the swamp Like many Americans, I believe that Washington is a swamp filled with so many alligators that even well-intended elected officials make little or no impact when encountering the many challenges to the successful creation of good policy. And, if the gators don’t get you, the mosquitoes and snakes are ever present, waiting and ready with objectives that are different from yours.

More often than not, legislators come back from D.C. with little or nothing to show for their effort other than signing on to other folks’ bills and blocking others. Significant bills that actually pass that are sponsored by folks from New Hampshire are few and far between. So what is the purpose of electing our representatives? Are we simply satisfied that they vote the party line and block what the other party is trying to accomplish? Maybe that’s largely what we are looking for.

Have many of us resigned ourselves to an acceptance of the nature of the swamp? And is it any different today than when our forefathers conceived this style of government?

While some might say that things are worse than ever, remember, we don’t shoot at each other anymore like Burr and Hamilton.

So is Donald Trump actually draining the swamp? I think that the answer may be “yes,” but it’s still too soon to tell. He certainly is a disruptive force and is causing great angst in swampland. But so did the introduction of pythons to the Everglades and, while disruptive, it has not proven to be a good thing.

I voted for neither Trump nor Hillary.

While I was not moved by either candidate, I must admit the notion of shaking up D.C. was, and still is, appealing to me. But as Americans, do we have any concerns about the manner in which the swamp is drained or are we so mad that any which way is fine with us? I’m on the “it matters how you do it” side.

So, what if, in the end, President Trump is successful in getting his primary agenda accomplished on immigration, tax reform, jobs, health care and more, despite using methods that include lies, vulgarities, deception and loss of world status? Some might argue that the end justifies the means, that those tactics needed to be employed in order to drain the swamp. While I, too, want great accomplishments to occur, I don’t want us stooping to new political lows that send the message to our citizens that bad behavior is OK if you get what you want. I don’t believe in that type of behavior and, as an educator, I don’t want my president, our educator in chief, teaching that to our citizens, especially our kids. Yes, I want results, but at what cost?

NEWS & NOTES Purdue lawsuit

On Aug. 8, New Hampshire sued Purdue Pharma, the giant drug manufacturer that produced OxyContin. According to a press release, Deputy Attorney General Ann Rice announced a civil lawsuit on behalf of the state, alleging Purdue engaged in deceptive marketing practices to sell OxyContin, a time-release opioid pain medication. The suit follows a two-year investigation that began in September 2015. Investigators have concluded that Purdue broke the state’s Consumer Protection Act, Medicaid Fraud Act and other state laws when it allegedly downplayed the risks of addiction, overstating OxyContin’s effectiveness, claiming the drug is tamper-resistant when it was easily tampered with for abuse and failing to report cases of suspicious dispensing. The company claimed that OxyContin lasted for 12 hours, when that was not true for many people. In 2010, Purdue released a reformulated version of the drug that was harder for addicts to crush and snort or dissolve and inject. According to the press release, investigators say this was used as a way to postpone the creation of generics and was later used as a way to market the drug to doctors. The company allegedly talked up the abuse-deterrent properties at the same time it was aware that people were still able to tamper with and abuse it. Last fall, the deputy administrator of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration called New Hampshire “ground zero” for the drug crisis, the AP reported.

Since the announcement of the lawsuit, Sen. Maggie Hassan released a statement accusing drugmakers that sell opioids of deceptive practices that downplay the dangers of addiction. The state’s top law enforcer, Attorney General Gordon MacDonald, who was confirmed last April, recused himself from the Purdue case because he worked for the company’s defense team prior to his appointment.

missioner Roger Sevigny said in a statement that the health insurance market is in a time of “significant turmoil” and that the assurance of Ambetter sticking with the New Hampshire exchange is heartening.

Harvard Pilgrim and Anthem have previously announced their intentions to offer plans in the exchange in 2018 but have yet to confirm their decisions. Companies must sign a contract with the federal government by Sept. 27 to offer plans for 2018.

VA reassignments

The top officials who were removed from the Manchester VA Medical Center immediately following a Boston Globe report shining a light on alleged inadequate care at the facility have been reassigned to the regional offices in Bedford, Massachusetts. NHPR reported Danielle Ocker, the former director, and James Schlosser, the former chief of staff, were both reassigned to the New England VA Healthcare System. They were both criticised by whistleblowers in the Globe article for not listening to the concerns of top clinicians. The article revealed an OR that was periodically fly-infested, something medical center officials confirmed to the Globe, and cases where patients allegedly suffered serious spinal injury from preventable issues going untreated over long periods.

Northern Pass

The U.S. Department of Energy recommended a key permit in the Northern Pass project be approved, the AP reported. The recommendation follows a review of the environmental impact study adjusted for the additional 52 miles of power lines the project, led by Eversource Energy, plans to bury between Pittsburg and Deerfield.

The new report says the project would not have a significant impact on the environment. If approved, Northern Pass will need two more federal permits from the U.S. Forest Ambetter Service and the U.S. Army Corps of The company that provides Engineers. State officials with the Ambetter health insurance on Site Evaluation Committee are due the state’s health care exchange to vote on the project later this year. announced it will remain in the state for 2018, according to a press Rivier renovations release from the New Hampshire Rivier University in NashInsurance Department.

A day after a mysterious odor left 19 workers dizzy and nauseated at Exeter Hospital’s emergency department, the ER reopened. The AP reported the staff members became ill and were evacuated Friday, Aug. 11. Many were treated on scene outside the hospital and were reportedly feeling better later in the day. The hospital closed an inpatient operating room and an emergency room above it. Later that night, investigators with the state hazmat team and the National Guard completed an investigation but were unable to determine the cause of the odor.

Planners are concerned that a private buyer might snatch up the land, making it impossible to complete the link. According to the story,

NEWS & NOTES Q&A

Stepping in at the Manchester VA Acting director talks about problems, improvements

of veterans who have … shared accolades about the care that they received in Manchester. So what I am doing is I’m sitting here listening. I want to hear both sides of the story. I want to make the improvements on both ends. … I would like to talk about some of the improvements that we’re currently undergoing.

Alfred Montoya of Hartland, Vermont, has been serving as acting medical center director at the Manchester VA Medical Center since July 17. He was previously the director of the White River Junction VA. He spoke to the Hippo on Aug. 8.

What is your background before working for the VA? I understand you are a veteran yourself?

I am. I was a Russian cryptologic linguist for the United States Air Force for 10 and a half years. … For my last tour of duty, I flew on the EC-130H, which is the Compass Call.

It’s generally used for jamming and weakening. It was around that time in 2008 that I was medically separated from the Air Force and started transitioning over to the East Coast.

My last assignment was actually Tuscon, Arizona, but I found myself relocating to the East Coast with my wife, who got a job as a professor at the University of Connecticut.

Most recently, you were heading the White River Junction VA. So far, what are some of the biggest differences you’ve noticed between the two facilities?

Well, I think there are a number of differences. When I went to White River Junction in November of 2015 … [I] inherited a medical center that was a high-performing medical center doing a lot of great things with innovation and making sure that they were increasing services in the community. ... I think there are some very big similarities between the two organizations in that there are a lot of great, hardworking staff here at the Manchester VA as well. I think what I see as differences [are] in some cases the processes in which the work is done is a little bit different. So I’ve certainly tried to take some of the processes that we’ve put in place in White River Junction to make sure that our veterans get quality access to care and timely access to care and that our employees also have a good experience, and really kind of duplicate those here at the Manchester VA. Now, I realize I’ve only been here for three weeks and during that three-week time period we also had a flood that was very catastrophic in nature.

er quickly, but when I arrived on the scene, myself and the chief engineer walked floor by floor to survey the damage, and at that point, I realized how catastrophic it really was. Essentially, there was a brass pipe up on the seventh floor … that, due to age and corrosion, had essentially failed. And the water, which is upward of thousands of gallons of water, went rippling through the entire building all the way to the second floor. So as far as operations at the medical center, it really crippled us for quite some time.

Where do things stand with that now?

Due to the quick response of both our contractors in the area as well as other contractors who we had here on site, we were able to mitigate the amount and the extent of damage that was done. Now, don’t get me wrong, there was a considerable amount of damage on the fourth floor. It was hit the hardest. That’s our floor that has the sameday services, the operating room as well as the postanesthesia care unit, as well as some other surgical clinics. That area was hit the hardest and we expect that to be out of commission until probably at least 1 December, or right around the December timeframe. …

We’re slowly starting to open up different areas of the hospital. Our most recent addition was our optometry and audiology area as well as our mental health group rooms.

In the interim ... we’ve been able to mobilize several mobile medical units, which are essentially RVs with exam rooms in them, as well as some mobile vet centers from across the country, to be able to provide those services in a different environment.

Why do you think you specifically were chosen to step in at the Manchester center, at least for the time being?

I think for me, as the director of the White River Junction Medical Center, I share many of the same congressional stakeholders as well as many of the same veteran service organizations. So, most of our stakeholders I know, first hand, and I can relate to them.

I think having that relationship already in place certainly helps us move forward as an organization and also helps us move forward and also improve on the things that need improvement.

Yeah, I’d like to ask you about that. [It happened] just a few days after you came to Manchester. ... How big a deal was this?

That was a huge deal. And I will tell you that I was [awakened] that morning — it was Wednesday the 19th — by our administrative officer on duty by a phone call, essentially saying, “Mr. Montoya, there’s water coming from the seventh-floor mechanical space.

The Boston Globe report that triggered We think you should come in.” Luckily, I was your placement and the ongoing investijust about five minutes away or so from the gation reported a number of issues such medical center and was able to come in rath- as a fly-infested OR and cases where lack HIPPO | AUGUST 17 - 23, 2017 | PAGE 6

of care allegedly resulted in preventable spinal damage. Have you ever heard of issues like this happening at any VA in your years of experience?

I can tell you that I’ve actually been in the VA since 2009. I think that certainly this is one of the reasons — that the allegations that were outlined in the Boston Globe article is certainly why the secretary ordered a top-to-bottom review of the Manchester VA Medical Center. And I think along with that came the investigators from the office of the medical inspector as well as the office of accountability and whistleblower protection as well as several different teams from the health care improvement center, within VA. So I think there have certainly been a number of resources on the ground, to be able to identify actions for us to take as a medical center and really help move us forward from where we were. … I think that we’re faced with challenges across the system but … I’m focused on moving us forward on the improvements that I see now and not really looking back on the past.

Aside from the many concerns, what do you think are some of the areas the Manchester VA is doing well in?

I think the flood and having all of our employees come together to work together as a team was certainly a bright spot for me, to see our employees coalesce around that.

It really warmed my heart to see that our veterans and our staff were so understanding of what was happening. … I’m hearing from a lot of our veterans that there are a lot

Please.

One of the biggest components that I heard from our veterans when I got here was the way that Choice, or the Choice program, was facilitated here at the Manchester VA Medical Center. [Editor’s note: Choice is a program that is meant to enable veterans to receive care from providers outside the VA system who are then reimbursed by the VA.] ... I’m a firm believer of doing things differently and getting different results, instead of just trying something over and over and over again and getting the same result. In this case, particularly, what we essentially did was establish a service line in and of itself called the Office of Community Care.

That office … is actually going to be led by a physician provider who will report directly up to the chief of staff. … Underneath that physician leader, essentially there are … case management teams that are led by nurse case managers and they have choice champions or support individuals underneath them to help navigate the Choice process. So we’re very quickly standing that office up to be very forward-facing to help our veterans. What we’ve found with this case management approach is it does three things. It helps us in actually ensuring our veterans can navigate the Choice process; it also helps our providers out in the community — which has been another complaint that I’ve heard about — be able to elevate the concerns that they have about billing or anything in that nature. But it also helps us do outreach in the community and essentially establish certain provider agreements with individual providers that we may not have already. … Similarly, I think this flood that occurred on that Wednesday also allowed us to really start thinking outside the box. One of the ways that we do that is, on average, we have 30 to 40 endoscopies that are done here in Manchester every single week. If you can imagine, with the fourth floor, which housed all of the endo-services, being out of commission until December, that’s quite a bit of veterans who are impacted by the lack of endoscopy services. So essentially what I did is I had a number of community clinical partners reach out to me and I … [started] having active discussions with CMC, the Catholic Medical Center, and Alex Walk-

What are you hearing from veterans who use the facility for their medical care?

I’ve had the opportunity to host a town hall myself to hear the concerns of our veterans as well as attend the whistleblower town hall that was hosted last week. Similarly, I was out in the community talking with our veterans and trying to get out there and listen as much as possible. And I think that the No. 1 concern … is that our veterans are frustrated with Choice and the Choice process. ... I think that our veterans are also frustrated by not having certain services here at the Manchester VA Medical Center, which is one of the reasons why … [we’re creating a] task force with identifying the future of the Manchester VA, to really look

and see what full services could be engaged here. What does it look like? What does it feel like? Is that a full-service hospital? If so, how do we do that? Is it a public-private partnership? I think it allows us an opportunity to really think outside the box here. ...

I think part of my job is really to make sure that I’m listening to our veterans and getting out there and hearing what they have to say and coming back and doing something with it. That’s something that I pride myself on tremendously, being a veteran myself who was medically separated, who gets 100 percent of my care in the VA. What are you hearing from staff about ways to improve the facility?

I’m certainly hearing from our staff the need for more constant communication and involvement in all processes throughout the organizations. … I personally have been holding listening sessions with our staff. … The Manchester team together, all of us can do really great things if we’re all pointed in the right direction and running, charging at that. ... I think to get there, we have to listen, we have to communicate and we have to actively involve both our veterans and our staff.

They were gracious enough to allow us to use one endoscopy suite and we’re essentially using our staff now, who are displaced due to the flood, to go over to that endoscopy suite and perform the endoscopies for our veterans.

Staying home

Elder care alternatives grow in aging state

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Demographic shifts in recent years have made New Hampshire the secondoldest state in the nation, which means a higher demand for senior care services provided by places like Visiting Angels and Right at Home, which specialize in in-home care and have plans to grow in the coming months.

Rich and Janet Sullivan started a Right at Home franchise in New Hampshire in 2008. The Sullivans had hired an in-home caregiver for Rich Sullivan’s mother and say the experience had a remarkable effect on her well-being and quality of life. She had Alzheimer’s disease, and the Sullivans saw her go from nonresponsive to engaging with family and having fun at the beach in the span of a week.

“We realized and experienced firsthand the benefits of home care for her,” Janet Sullivan said.

When they started their company, they had about a dozen caregivers and a scheduler in the office, based in the Londonderry area. Now, they have upward of 100 employees and plan to have about 200 as they expand into the Seacoast area with a new office in Portsmouth.

Janet Sullivan said there are a lot of seniors who thrive in a home environment and don’t want to leave it for an assisted living facility.

7 to just remain at home,” she said.

“Whether it’s help around the house, or if it’s after a hospital or rehab stay, they want to stay in familiar surroundings.”

Siobhan Nolan, a registered nurse and care coordinator at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, said she sees a lot of elderly patients responding positively to in-home care. The Visiting Nurse Association can provide a lot of medical care in the home, she said. But she said nonmedical caregivers can also make a big difference when it comes to day-today things like stocking food or cleaning the house.

“A lot of times, social issues come to light that we wouldn’t be privy to … unless we were physically there,” Nolan said.

And when things go wrong, caregivers can report them to the hospital.

“They’re a lifeline,” Nolan said.

And Desrosiers said elders often respond positively to the simple social interaction.

“The socialization is very important, I think, because they’re isolated in their homes,” Desrosiers said.

Studies, too, have shown staying at home has many benefits.

“What starts out as a stranger coming into your house can oftentimes develop into a very strong relationship in terms of quality of life,” Janet Sullivan said.

The care provided by Right at Home is customized for each person. Sometimes people return home after long hospital stays for weeks and months and all their food and medications have expired.

Meanwhile, they aren’t able to easily get around to shop for more food or renew prescriptions and often grow ill from malnourishment, dehydration or lack of medication and end up right back in the hospital.

A study by Right at Home corporate looked at hospital readmissions in North Carolina and found that the average readmission cost for a hospital was $7,200 per patient. But a home-care package that helped discharged patients at home for a period of time reduced readmissions by 62 percent while only costing an average of $295.

As a result, some hospitals opted to cover the cost of a post-discharge homecare package.

But right now, in-home care is mostly paid for through private payer insurance or out of pocket.

Caregivers through Right at Home in New Hampshire are paid per diem and patients are charged an hourly rate with a minimum of three hours.

“The range can go from $23.50 an hour to $26.50,” Rich Sullivan said.

Desrosiers said Visiting Angels charges between $25 and $27 an hour.

Most of the employees at Right at Home are Licensed Nursing Assistants, though the care they provide is mostly non-medical. There DEBRA DESROSIERS is a lead nurse employed by the company, which helps provide some medical oversight to catch problems early. It also helps nurses in training get certified by working with the nurse.

Still, Rich Sullivan said the labor shortage makes it hard to find skilled caregivers.

“It continues to be a struggle,” he said.

Part of the challenge is the high bar prospective caregivers must meet. Right at Home screens employees far beyond what’s required by the state with 12-panel drug testing, lift tests and background checks in other states where they lived.

Having the right staff, though, is critical. Seniors often have 24/7 caregivers with them, according to Rich Sullivan, and the caregivers will often go with the seniors to hospitals or other facilities to supplement the care they receive.

“A hospital stay or rehab stay is traumatic for an elderly person. So if they have the consistency of their caregiver with them, it makes a huge difference in their ability to recover and get back home,” Rich Sullivan said.

The socialization is very important, I think, because they’re isolated in their homes.

The summer love hits Fenway Park It was the summer of love. Hippies were dropping acid in Haight-Ashbury, Vietnam was raging, war protests were everywhere and no one under 30 trusted what came from the White House.

It was the ’60s, man — ’67 to be exact — and it was far out!

It was also the summer when everything changed for baseball in New England, when the local nine came out of nowhere to be in their first real pennant race since the ’50s. Actually, to be in the greatest pennant race in baseball history. Five teams were in it on Sept. 1, four entering the last week, which came down to the final Sunday with Minnesota, Detroit and Boston still alive. It was the season that ignited the energy, emotion, joy and passion of a long-dead baseball community that would one day be known as Red Sox Nation. And it all came on the back and inspiration of a man called Yaz. Here’s a look at some of the high and low points, along with the main characters behind a glorious season.

The Manager: Dick Williams was “old school.” He told players exactly what he thought, like telling George Scott he looked “fat” during spring training. Imagine what he’d have said to Pablo Sandoval after the belt broke on that swing and miss.

And if you didn’t like, it too bad. He’d last 10 minutes today, but ended the country club atmosphere that prevailed during a decade of losing as a ninth-place team suddenly became a 92-70 pennant-winner in his rookie year as a manager.

Billy Rohr’s Near No-Hitter: It was Game 3 and a sign of good things to come.

A rookie making his first start, he took a no-hitter into the ninth when Tom Tresh drilled one to deep left at Yankee Stadium, where Carl Yastrzemski made an over-

the-shoulder diving “tremendous catch,” as announcer Ken Coleman emphatically proclaimed, to keep the no-no alive. But an out later Elston Howard, who would soon traded be to Boston, dribbled one through the right side to break it up.

The Stats: Outside of Yaz’s triple crown and Jim Lonborg’s 22-9 Cy Young season, nothing stands out. They used three catchers and all hit below .200! Tony C was the one other to reach 20 homers, George Scott (.303) the only other .300 hitter, while Gary Bell and Jose Santiago where next high with just 12 wins. This was a team truly better than the sum of its parts.

The Fight at Yankee Stadium: The only thing Yaz wasn’t in the middle of all year. But what would a historic season be without a Yankees fight? It started when Lonborg drilled Yankees hurler Thad Tillotson for beaning Joey Foy an inning earlier. He jawed at Lonborg, then Foy joined the party as the Yankees dugout emptied. A brawl followed with Brooklyn native Rico Petrocelli and Yankees hothead Joe Pepitone at the bottom of the pile as cops came out to break up the fight — one of whom was Rico’s brother.

Tony Conigliaro Gets Beaned: This happened 50 years ago Aug. 18 and it started his sad spiral down. He was a local lad who was in the majors at 19 with the most perfect Fenway Park swing ever. He hit 24 bombs as a rookie in 1964, won the homer crown at 20 the next year and in July reached 100 homers quicker than anyone in history except for Mel Ott. He looked on his way to the 500-homer club before a fastball (some say spitball) from Angels righty Jack Hamilton hit him in the eye. He missed the rest of ’67 and all of 1968. He hit 20 homers in ’69 and 36 in 1970. He was traded to the Angels for 1971, where he lasted just a month before retiring with deteriorating eyesight.

What Was Different Then: Lonborg had

15 complete games and relievers worked multiple innings. Two — John Wyatt (10-7) and Jose Santiago (12-4) — had double-digit wins. In crucial back-to-back September wins over Detroit aces Mickey Lolich and Denny McClain Santiago was the winner in relief and then won twice as a starter in the final 10 days, one of which was saved by Gary Bell, who started in that win over McLain.

The Final Weekend: They needed to beat Minnesota twice and did at a packed Fenway Park. But words won’t do it justice. YouTube it and I guarantee Yaz’s liner to center that drove in two to tie it 3-3 will all these years later give you goosebumps or maybe a lump in the throat. It is magic.

Carl Yastrzemski: He was incredible in delivering the most inspiring, team-leading performance since Joe DiMaggio hit in 56 straight in 1941. Like Rohr’s no-no bid, when a play was needed in the field he made it. He went 7 for 8 the final two games and hit .444 the final 10. When he came up to face 20-game-winner Dean Chance on the final day trailing 3-1 in the sixth, there wasn’t a person alive who didn’t think he would come through. Talk all you want about Ted Williams hitting .406 in 1941. But the Yanks won the AL that year on Sept. 3, so he did that in a vacuum. Yaz won the Triple Crown as the Sox fought to win their first pennant since 1918 to the last day when, oh by the way, he was 4 for 4. It awoke the Nation and catapulted Red Sox baseball to unforeseen heights.

That makes it the greatest, most important season by any Sox player — ever.

And then Rico squeezed Rich Rollins’ pop-up behind short to end it. When Lonborg couldn’t quite do it on two days’ rest in Game 7, they did lose the Series to St. Louis. But, to those who saw it all unfold, that’s just a footnote to this once-in-a-lifetime season.

Goffstown gets Almost Award Big Story and Athlete of the Week: To Nashua CC’s Mike Martel for his dominating performance in defending his New Hampshire Golf Association Stroke play title in winning by a whopping 10 shots over Damon Solo. In doing so, he first tied the Rochester CC course record with a 64 in Round 3 and then broke it the next day by shooting 63 on his way to an astonishing 20-under-par record-setting final tally.

Sports 101: Who is the only quarterback enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame to go undrafted?

The Almost Award: To the Goffstown Little League All-Stars for getting oh-so-close to a trip to the LL World Series in Williamsport. They came up short after a 7-6 loss to Portland, Maine, after a sixth-inning rally fell just short after they got to within a run when Logan Simmons scored on Nate Innerfield single. The big hits came on an Aiden O’Connell homer and Simmons’ two-RBI day.

Thumbs Up: Last week it was steady Eddie Rob Ninkovich hanging it up with the Patriots and this week it was human wall Vince Wilfork after two years in Houston with the Texans. But we all know Wilfork is a Patriot for life who did a great job filling the gaps and as a team leader on two Super Bowl-winning teams.

79 – years between the time Andre Benintendi hit two three-run homers vs. the Yankees on Saturday and the last time a Red Sox player did that since Jimmie Foxx pulled the trick in 1938.

Sports Glossary

Elston Howard: He languished in the minors until 26 thanks to a stocked Yankees farm system and the wayward culture of the day, before becoming their first black player in 1955.

He waited until Yogi Berra faded before becoming the full-time catcher in 1961, when at 32 he hit .348. Two years later he was AL MVP. By the time he got to Boston, though, in August 1967, he hit just .147.

The Early 500 Homer Club: This group is now to 27, but included Babe Ruth (714), Jimmie Foxx (534), Ted Williams (521) and Mel Ott (511) when Tony C showed he had the stuff to join them in the mid-’60s.

Mel Ott: Baseball’s most forgotten great player. He is the youngest to reach 100 homers, hit 40 and knocked in 151 at 20, a six-time NL homer champ and led the New York Giants in homers 18 straight seasons — no one else has come close to doing that in any triple crown category. Overall it was .304, 511 and 1860.

Dennis McClain: Only Dwight Gooden could blow a potential Hall of Fame slot more than this guy. He won 20 at 22, 17 in ’67. In ’68 he won 31 games, then 24 in back-to-back Cy Young seasons. But self-destructively he was done at 28, followed by two stints in the big house.

Billy Rohr No-No Bid: It was his first career start that ended with one out short. But it was the career highlight, as he won two more games and was out of baseball after 1968.

The Numbers

Honors: Locals Jake Amero (soccer) of Manchester West and Art Demers (track) of Nashua High School will be inducted into the NHIAA Hall of Fame this fall along with John Eastman (track) and one-time SHS and Dartmouth College star, now Princeton Basketball Coach Courtney Banghart, Lebanon field hockey coach Deb Beach and late Kennett baseball coach Bob Burns.

Sports 101 Answer: Warren Moon went undrafted out of the University of Washington in 1977. He then won five CFL titles with Edmonton before signing with the Houston Oilers in 1984, where he threw 196 of his 296 TD passes.

On This Day: 1957 – Phillies leadoff man Richie Ashburn hits fan Alice Roth twice in the same at bat. The first broke her nose and the second hit her while she was on a stretcher being carted out of the park. 1966 & 1973 – Willie Mays moves past Jimmie Foxx into second place on the all-time homer list with his 535th career homer and hits No. 660 for the final homer of his career. 1986 – The Red Sox get clutch hitting slugger Dave Henderson and shortstop Spike Owens from Seattle for Rey Quinones and Mike Trujillo in the deal that propelled them to a dramatic ACLS win two months later and a dramatic losing effort in the World Series.

Peter & Rebecca Beauchemin Having a stable job is key for two reasons. If you were lending someone $250,000 would you want that person to have a track record of earning income? Of course! And your lender is no different. A two year history with the same employer demonstrates that. Secondly, you want to be confident you can make the mortgage payment.

One in five consumers has an error on their credit report. Make sure you are not one of them. Check the accuracy of your credit reports at www.AnnualCreditReport.com . Remember, lenders are looking for a track record of making on-time payments and responsibly managing your account balances.

Make “practice” mortgage payments by saving the difference between what you are currently paying for rent and what you plan to pay for your mortgage.

This way you can prove to yourself that this new home is within your means and avoid “payment shock” after buying.

Taking a home buyer workshop, like those offered by HOMEteam, AHEAD, and The Housing Partnership, puts you ahead of your competition in today’s fast paced marketplace. You’ll gain a greater idea of what to expect at each step in the process and be more confident with your decision making.

If you are struggling to pay your bills month to month, now is not a good time to buy a home. Most renters buy a home to upgrade their living space and location. Between a higher payment, utilities, maintenance, and redoing the master bathroom, the costs of home ownership are typically higher than the costs of renting. Figure out how you are going to handle these increased costs before buying.

ARTS Park full of art

Outdoor art show returns to Nashua

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Dozens of regional and local artists, like Monique Sakellarios of Nashua, will be showing and selling their work at the Greeley Park Art Show, happening Saturday, Aug. 19, and Sunday, Aug. 20.

Sakellarios, who has been an artist most of her life and has had a studio and gallery in Nashua for 14 years, has been participating in the Greeley Park Art Show for about 30 years — but this year she’ll be bringing something new to the show.

Along with featuring her impressionistic oil paintings, this year she’ll be showing off the work that’s resulted from her more recent venture into abstract oil painting.

“I became intrigued by abstract art a few years ago,” she said. “It’s interesting, because it comes from within. What I like about it is the surprise, like, ‘Wow, this came out of my subconscious.’”

Sakellarios will have at least 30 pieces at the show consisting of abstract paintings of various sizes as well as impressionist paintings, most of which depict local nature scenes.

“It’s amazing, the talent that these artGreeley Park Art Show Where: Greeley Park, 100 Concord St., Nashua When: Saturday, Aug. 19, and Sunday, Aug. 20, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

ists have, and they’re all so different,” said Lauren Boss, president of the Nashua Area Artists’ Association, which hosts the event.

“It’s a great day to walk around and see all different kinds of art.”

Now in its 64th year, the two-day outdoor juried show will feature a variety of art, including oil and acrylic paintings, watercolor, pastels, mixed media, photography, woodworking, jewelry and glass.

There will be a “good number” of new artists at the show this year, Boss said, including three woodworking artists — the most the show has ever had.

Most artists, Boss said, show artwork in a range of sizes and prices, so there’s some-

thing for everyone, from cards and small prints costing a few dollars to large, framed originals costing hundreds of dollars.

Some artists will also be doing live demonstrations of their craft at the show next to their artwork.

“They’re really good at showing and telling you their whole process,” Boss said.

“They’re very friendly and willing to talk to you if you have questions. It’s a nice group of people.”

Part of what leads Sakellarios to return to the show each year, Sakellarios said, is the show’s location at Greeley Park.

“Some shows have 200 artists, and people don’t get around to all the artists

because there’s too much to see,” she said. “[The Greeley Park Art Show] is just the right size, not too big, but big enough, and it’s very easy to go from one artist to the next.”

Additionally, the show will have a judged art competition for participating artists on Saturday and a youth art competition on Sunday.

There will also be puppet shows, a musical instrument petting zoo hosted by Symphony NH and Nashua Community Music School, a raffle and silent auction and a fundraiser in which painted ornaments and a coloring book created by some of the featured artists will be for sale.

The Printmaking major will cover contemporary and historical printmaking methods and other tools used in a variety of fine arts and contemporary design applications. In User Experience Design, students interested in pursuing a career as a UX designer will learn skills needed to work in the digital and physical worlds. “These three new programs say a lot about the future direction we are charting for NHIA,” NHIA President Kent Devereaux said in a press release. “For almost 120 years, NHIA has been known for high quality instruction in the fine and applied arts. Now, with the introduction of innovative new degree programs … we aim to apply those same exacting standards for high-quality instruction to these exciting new fields of creative exploration.” Visit nhia.edu for more information.

For the past three years, the three remaining members of the Granite Playwrights have been developing their own one-act plays, meeting periodically to read and critique each other’s work. Now, those plays will be brought together and performed for the first time in “Three One Acts,” which opens at the Hatbox Theatre in Concord on Friday, Aug. 18.

The show consists of three distinct oneact dramatic comedies ranging from 10 to 40 minutes long, performed by independent actors as well as actors from the Community Players of Concord, Lend Me a Theater and the Boston Playwrights Theatre.

“The Hatbox allows [playwrights] to present new material, which is a wonderful feature of the venue,” Granite Playwrights member George Kelly said. “It’s very intimate — [the venue] seats about 100 people — and these plays are beautifully suited for that kind of venue.”

Kelly’s play, titled Analog, tells the story of a college English professor whose reluctance to join the college in its push toward new technology puts his job at risk. He finds a kindred spirit, however, in a young poet, who also believes in a more traditional approach to learning.

A professor himself, Kelly said the inspiration for the play came, in part, from his own experience.

“There is a demand to do things more electronically rather than with human interaction, and I’ve rebelled a little against that,” he said.

“The inspiration [for the young poet character] came from a young lady who was in my class … who told me, ‘I like the feel of a book in my hands’ … and I used that as one of the lines in the play.”

The shortest play, The Flight of the Bartailed Godwit, written by J.J. Hunt, follows three elderly women as they search for meaning in their lives at a nursing home.

“It deals with some weighty subject matter,” Hunt said. “It shows how [the women] adapt to a living situation and relationships that they haven’t necessarily chosen, and they’re figuring out what it means to be essentially warehoused at the end of one’s life and how to make their life mean something.”

The third play, Soup’s On, written by Alan Lindsay, involves two brothers preparing for the arrival of two women they’ve invited over for dinner. As they argue over what to make for dinner, deeper tensions between the two come to light.

“The bulk of that play is about verbal wit,” said Hunt, who is co-directing the play with Lindsay. “It’s about a contest of wills and phi-

losophies between the two brothers as they hash out their disagreements and differences.”

In some ways, Hunt said, writing a 10-minute play can be more challenging than writing a longer, multi-act play, the biggest challenge being arriving at the heart of the story quickly, with little time to develop the characters and the plot.

“It’s like when you read the first page of a novel; you have no idea what universe you’re entering into. And [with a short play] you have to get the audience into your universe in the first minute or two,” she said. “But I enjoy trying to figure out how to do that.”

Kelly said that with all three plays premiering together in a single show, it’s probable that people will like at least one of the plays and be able to enjoy the show overall.

“It gives people more variety, and I think that’s why [one-act plays] are so popular these days,” he said, “as opposed to a threeact play, where the plot and the conflict and the characters aren’t going to change, and you either like it or you don’t.”

“It gives you the opportunity have several different experiences in one night,” Hunt added. “You can see something new and different that you haven’t seen before without committing to a $200 ticket [for a longer play], then discovering 30 minutes in that you hate the thing.”

“Three One Acts” When: Fridays, Aug. 18 and Aug. 25, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays, Aug. 19 and Aug. 26, at 7:30 p.m.; and Sundays, Aug. 20 and Aug. 27, at 2 p.m.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE Prepare for battle

Reenactors bring war-torn New England to life

By Ethan Hogan

listings@hippopress.com

See reenactments of battles and New England life from the era of the French and Indian War through the Civil War at the Living History Event, held near the bridges, churches and meetinghouses of historic Hillsborough.

On Saturday, Aug. 19, and Sunday, Aug. 20, in four locations throughout town, reenactors will portray artisan crafts like butter churning, cider pressing and blacksmithing, plus battle reenactments, according to Ginks Leiby, executive director of the Greater Hillsboro Area Chamber of Commerce.

At the Jones Road field, for example, you will be transported into a 19th-century military camp. Guests move through the woods as a battle unfolds around them. The soldiers will perform convincing deaths and thrilling battle cries, Leiby said.

“It feels authentic; there is nothing like seeing the cannon go off and Living History Event When: Saturday, Aug. 19, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday, Aug. 20, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: Downtown (5 Central St.), Franklin Pierce Homestead, Hillsborough Historic Center, Jones Road. Start at any site; vans will take visitors from site to site.

Cost: Adults 18 or older $15, seniors 62 or older $12, kids 6 to 17 $5 and children under 5 free. Students from Hillsborough, Henniker, Deering, Windsor and Washington free with student ID. Tickets valid Saturday and Sunday and give guests access to everything (gold panning is $5 more).

the guns with black powder. It really tugs emotionally at people’s heartstrings because they know what the troops went through,” said Leiby.

Leiby helped architect the Living History Event during its first year in 2009. The original committee of organizers, comprised of Hillsborough Pride and the Historical Society, wanted to create an event that celebrated the history of the town. The event now has its own organizing committee and expects 2,000 visitors this year, according to Leiby.

“It’s been a pretty amazing experience, it’s grass roots, it came out of the community,” said Leiby.

She said the 30- to 40-minute battles that take place in woods and out in the fields are representative of armed confrontations that took place during the French and Indian War and the American Civil War. Reenactment troops from around the region representing Union troops, Confederate troops, Native Americans and French soldiers travel to take part in the weekend’s battles.

“It’s pretty interesting because you are able to move around and experience what it’s like to be on one side

or the other and you have a more intimate experience,” said Leiby.

Outside of the battles, Leiby said there are interesting characters who can be found throughout the reenactment areas. Silas Moore, the ratcatcher, is a character that Leiby said is popular with guests every year. In America, during the 19th century, a ratcatcher was an important job akin to the plumber or electrician today, according to Leiby.

“He would have gone from farm to farm, business to business and his services would have been welcomed,” said Leiby.

Entertainment was also important to keeping up the morale at some of the battle camps, so the 2nd South Carolina String Band will be performing their Civil War era style music at the lunch tent.

Leiby said there will be traditional 1800s American-style food served at the lunch tent at Jones Road. The classic menu will feature pulled pork with beans and coleslaw, barbecue chicken made on the Jones Road grill and a plowman’s lunch, which consists of cheese, bread and an apple.

nator for the Old Center, an area of Hillsborough that will be showcased during the reenactment that features a small village with green lawn at its center. The Old Center is representative of a traditional colonial town, according to Morris.

“It’s very old and picturesque, what you would imagine an old New England village to look like,” she said.

The Old Center was the original Hillsborough town center before the mills were built during the Industrial Revolution, Morris said. She said the area will represent the domestic lifestyle of the period — where and how the people lived, made their craft, went to church and socialized.

“There was such a camaraderie amongst community and people, they shared amongst each other in order to survive,” said Morris.

Morris said that the more historically significant character actors will be found in the Old Center area.

“They are incredible because they don’t break character,” said Morris.

Ulysses S.

Here it is, early August, and I’ve just picked my first tomatoes, but I’m already thinking about winter. No, I don’t anticipate frost until mid-October or later, but I depend on my garden to feed me much of the year. So I start early getting food processed for storage. I freeze, dehydrate, can and store veggies for winter. Let’s look at tricks you can use to save you time and labor as you save your harvest.

Tomatoes are key to almost any soup, stew or stir-fry I make, and I don’t want to be buying tomatoes in February, or to depend on cans of sauce processed in factories in California. I want to cook with tomatoes that I grew myself, or that are from a local farmer I trust.

If you grow just a few tomato plants for sandwiches and salads, or even if you planted half a dozen Romas for making some sauce, you can have a wealth of tomatoes for freezing if you talk to your local farmer. Most sell “field grade” or “canners” by the bushel at very reasonable prices. They are not as pretty as top-grade fruits, but I’ve bought a bushel — 50 pounds — in years when my own crop succumbed early to blight.

Many farmers now grow tomatoes in hoop houses, which means they get tomatoes earlier than we do, and they largely avoid blight.

So there are times when farmers are practically swimming in tomatoes. That’s when to buy them.

What can you do with 50 pounds of tomatoes? I would freeze most of them. Wash and dry the fruit, then fit them into freezer-grade plastic bags, not storage bags. Freezer-grade bags cost just pennies more per bag, but are much better for the job.

Suck out any excess air from the bags with a common drinking straw. Just close the bag 99 percent of the way, suck out the air and snap it closed with two fingers, just as you pull out the straw.

Later, to get them ready for use, I run each frozen tomato under hot water while rubbing it gently so that the skin comes right off. After I set it aside for five minutes it softens enough for me to cut out the stem attachment point.

Then I quarter it, chop it, and put it in the pan.

If you like to make homemade sauce but hate the canning process, just freeze it. Cook up your tomatoes with fresh herbs and onions and let it cool. Then pack in freezer bags or plastic containers.

I’ve had both front-opening freezers and chest freezers, and I recommend the frontopening ones. It is easy to lose track of what is buried in the bottom of the chest-type freezers. But you’ll find the last bag of kale if it’s on a shelf where you can easily see it. And

after a year or two in a freezer, food loses its flavor and often becomes unappealing.

I also freeze ice cube trays filled with my homemade tomato paste. I use my less-perfect tomatoes for paste, which I freeze in ice cube trays. To make paste, I wash tomatoes, and then core them with a paring knife.

I squeeze out the seeds and extra juice, which makes for less boiling time and fewer seeds.

Then I quarter them and puree them, skins and all, in my food processor.

I cook the puree at low heat in a big enameled cast iron pot (which helps prevent scorching on the bottom of the pot). I know it’s done when I can literally stand up a soup spoon in the paste, after three hours or more.

I let it cool overnight (or eight hours) with the cover off the pot, allowing a little more moisture to evaporate. Then I spoon the paste into the ice cubes trays. After they are frozen, I remove the cubes and put them in freezer bags.

Most years I dehydrate several bags of “sundried tomatoes.” Except they aren’t sun-dried.

They are dried in an electric food dryer. Mostly I dry cherry tomatoes, a variety called Sun Gold. I cut them in half and place them face up on the screens. It takes from 12 to 24 hours to do a batch, depending on which kind of machine you use, and how juicy your tomatoes are.

I have two brands of dryers, a Nesco American Harvester and an Excalibur. The Excalibur uses less electricity (660 watts per hour vs. 1,000 watts per hour) and is more efficient because the flow of hot air goes across the drying screens, not from top to bottom as the NESCO dryer does. But it costs roughly three times as much, depending on the model. Both brands are very good.

I also use my dehydrators to dry apples, pears, hot peppers and more. I especially like drying hot peppers because I can get them brittle, and then grind them up in my coffee grinder. That allows me to just add a little in a dish, or a lot if I’m not having company.

So don’t wait until fall. Start putting up food for winter like the proverbial squirrel.

Winter is just around the corner.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Intermittent highway failures point to bad fuel pump Dear Car Talk: I own a 2002 Chevy Suburban with 178,000 miles. I bought it from my brother-in-law for $3,000 for my son to drive while in college.

It has died several times

By Ray Magliozzi on the highway, causing him to pull over quickly to get out of the way of traffic. Before it dies, he feels a jerkiness or a rumbling. The car then loses acceleration, and pushing on the gas pedal gets no response. He can then coast to a stop or push the brake pedal to stop on the shoulder. It usually will restart in a minute or two, and runs normally thereafter. Occasionally, it has died several times within an hour while driving on the highway. Recently, the Suburban died on the highway on our way to visit family for a holiday. After restarting, it ran for over an hour, getting us to our destination without an issue. The dealership can’t seem to find anything wrong with it. However, they say the fuel pump is on the low end, but they tell me it appears to be within the range required for the vehicle. What should I have the dealership replace or check? — Mike Have them replace the fuel pump, Mike.

You know, those fuel pumps aren’t what they

used to be. Nowadays, a mere 175,000 miles, and poof, they’re done.

You have the classic symptoms of a failing fuel pump. It usually dies intermittently, usually on the highway on long trips, after it’s been working hard at high pressure and heating up. It’ll fail just as you described, by slowing down the flow of fuel, which makes the engine lose power, or chug or stutter, and finally conk out completely. After a short period of time, it’ll cool off enough to allow you to restart the car and drive away. Until it fails again. Which is going to happen more and more often.

If you have a helpful mechanic, he might be willing to put a fuel-pressure gauge on the truck and drive the car home himself overnight. If he can get it to fail, he’ll actually see the fuel pressure drop as the vehicle falters ... from 25 psi, to 15, to 10, to zero.

I suppose it could be a bad crank angle sensor, which could create the same symptoms. But the fact that your mechanic found the fuel pressure to be low (even if it was technically within specs) makes me think that the fuel pump is more likely at fault.

are on and I stop at a light. If I turn off the lights and put the car in park, the vibration and sound both go away. I am living and working in Japan, and my car is a 2010 Toyota Paseo. I’ve had it only two months.

I removed items from the trunk to see if that is the problem, but I still get the vibration.

Please give me some solutions. It’s driving me nuts! — Mike Well, now you know why the last guy sold it, Mike. You also know where to find him. So you can go visit him in the psych ward, and ask him what solutions he already tried.

Since it’s coming from the back seat area, it’s most likely to be something fairly benign, like the exhaust pipe vibrating against the underside of the car.

When you’re stopped at a light in drive and your headlights are on, the engine speed is dragged down. It could be that when the engine is turning slowly and the geometry of the exhaust system is just so, the pipe between the catalytic converter and the muffler moves up just enough to touch the bottom of the car.

When you put the car into park and remove the power drain of the headlights, that results in an increase in idle speed and a slight change in the angle of the engine

vis-a-vis the exhaust system. That could be enough to make the vibration go away.

As an experiment, you might even be able to make the noise go away temporarily by holding your left foot on the brake and touching the gas pedal lightly.

But since the problem is pretty easy to reproduce, it should be a piece of cake to solve. Just take it to a mechanic, put your foot on the brake, put the car in drive, turn on the headlights and get the vibration going.

Then the mechanic can grab the tailpipe, using a cloth or a pair of gloves, and see if he can stop or even just change the vibration.

If he can — and I suspect he will be able to — then it could be something simple, like an exhaust hanger that broke off. Or maybe you bent a section of the exhaust pipe when you drove over those sake barrels.

If he can’t find anything wrong with the tailpipe itself, then you could have one or more worn-out or broken motor mounts.

A broken motor mount also can cause the exhaust pipe to shift, because it allows the engine to move too much. He can test that, too, while you’re in gear, by using a big pry bar against the engine and seeing if the engine moves more than it should or if shifting the engine changes the noise.

Concord hosts interactive model train show

By Ethan Hogan

listings@hippopress.com

Fully operational miniature trains will roll through the Everett Arena during the Concord Model Train Show on Sunday, Aug. 20, allowing visitors to interact with models like a 35-by-66-foot representation of the old New Hampshire rail line that ran from Concord to West Lebanon.

Richard Fifield, chairman of the Concord Model Railroad Club, said it took the club 24 months to create the set. They recreated the areas along the railways using old railroad maps and images. The team built model bridges, buildings and greenery that would have been along the tracks.

“I do like building a little scenery now and then, but the fun part is running them,” said Fifield.

Fifield used to wish for a train set under his Christmas tree every year as a child, and for many years, he got one. Even into his teens, he had a 4-by-9-foot set in his bedroom. The hobby took a back seat until he was able to pick up his passion again once he got married and had a house of his own.

Fifield now has a room dedicated to the miniature world of trains.

The 250 feet of mainline track in Fifield’s house is equipped with modern technology that lets him run multiple trains at once and control each of their speeds.

“It’s come a long way from when I was a kid,” said Fifield.

That same modern technology was used to make all five of the club’s models that it will bring to the show Sunday. The sets will total between 300 and 400 feet of mainline model tracks, according to Fifield.

Guests will be able to use handheld throttle remotes that control the speed of the train engines.

The types of trains will vary depending

on the hobbyist’s preference. Fifield likes a modern diesel train.

“I’m extremely modern, mostly all newer types of diesel locomotives,” said Fifield.

At 17, Erik Rasmussen of Pembroke is the youngest member of the Concord Model Railroad Club. He will be attending the event with a portion of his home collection, including an Amtrak model and some freight locomotive models. Rasmussen’s interest in full-sized trains started at a young age and he was eventually drawn to the creative nature of building his own model train set.

“I like the fact you can basically build a village with trains going through it,” said Rasmussen. With help from his father, Rasmussen has filled up half of his garage with the model trains. His favorite models are from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA).“I’ve been seeing those since I was really little. I really like the equipment they use,” said Rasmussen.

The show will also feature an extensive expo area where guests can purchase model train sets and talk with experts about the niche hobby. Fifield said that a quality starter kit for a first-time enthusiast would cost roughly $200 for a circle track, a power transformer, an engine and three cars, but single trains will also be available for beginners.

Fifield said there will be raffles for prizes like a dinner for two on the Cafe Lafayette New Hampshire Dinner Train in Lincoln.

Where: 15 Loudon Road, Concord Cost: Tickets are $5 for adults, 12 and under are free.

The title would be: Professional Indoor Skydiving Wind Tunnel Instructor. We take [anyone] from a first-time flier to an experienced skydiver and teach them how to fly in the wind tunnel. ...We have first-time fliers and we also have the more advanced flying, like the upsidedown, head-down flying, which we teach as well. … It differs especially with seasons. In the winter not many skydivers are jumping out in blizzards so they’ll come here to train and stay current. …

It’s a huge demographic so it keeps the job interesting.

How long have you been in your career?

I’ve been an instructor for about six years. I am also now a trainer so I train the instructors to progress to different levels. When you first become an instructor you’re basically just taking in first-time fliers, teaching them how to fly. As you go, it’s a slow progression and you get to teach more and more advanced stuff. …

At the end you are teaching upside-down flying, which is the most advanced form of flying.

How did you get interested in this field?

FOOD Multicultural feast

We Are One Festival returns to Manchester

By Matt Ingersoll

News from the local food scene

mingersoll@hippopress.com

By Matt Ingersoll

The We Are One Festival is a multicultural celebration of music, dancing and crafts, but perhaps the biggest draw of the event each year is the food. That’s because dozens of Latin American and African nations are represented at the festival offering ethnic food options that are hard to find here in New Hampshire.

The festival will return to Veterans Memorial Park in Manchester on Saturday, Aug. 19.

“From year to year, we’ve had various restaurants and slightly different groups and vendors here,” said Woullard Lett, a member of the festival’s planning committee. “Many people always say they come back specifically for the food. That’s the thing they enjoy most.”

The festival, according to Lett, is meant to reflect the wide range of communities and cultures that reside in Manchester and across the northern New England area, especially the African-American and Latin American communities. Vendors are either restaurants or local community members bringing their offerings, and cuisines have included Caribbean, Dominican, Togo, Colombian, Bajan and more.

“Some restaurants are right here in Manchester, and some come from other places [in New Hampshire],” Lett said, adding that one of the newcomers to the festival is Bar y Restaurant las dos A-A, a Colombian restaurant based in Nashua.

Each year, vendors provide a signature cul-

• Sweet victory: Sisters Madison and Olivia Dunne of Crotched Mountain School in Greenfield won this year’s Walter A. Felker Memorial Award, a $2,000 prize awarded to students who make the best maple syrup. According to a press release from the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association, “The program and the monetary prize aim to encourage interest by New Hampshire youth in the production of the Granite State’s great maple sugaring tradition.” Students in grades K through 12 across the state tapped trees, collected sap and submitted maple syrup samples, which were judged at the NHMPA’s annual meeting in July. The sisters were inspired by their father to take up the challenge, according to the release, and the community-backed effort included Chris Pfeil, owner of The Maple Guys in Wilton, and Richard Siebert, NHMPA mentor and former Crotched Mountain student.

“One of the things that we try to look to for the Dominican food vendors, for example, is chivo, which is a goat,” he said. “There are actually only a few places around here where you can get it. … We’ll also get authentic Latin American food like beans and rice, as well as various meats … and a person coming from Barbados who is bringing a unique version of jerk chicken with different spices. Last year we had vendors from Togo and South Sudan, so there has been all kinds of interesting stuff.”

The first We Are One Festival was held in 2013 after two cultural festivals organized by Manchester’s Latin American and African and Caribbean communities that had been

held from 2001 to 2012 were joined together, according to Lett.

“The interesting thing is that each one of these communities are so different and diverse, and it can be hard to fully appreciate that, but it really comes through when you’re dealing with the food,” Lett said.

Combining the festivals seems to have worked out well so far.

“What we’ve found is that it’s WOULLARD LETT become not only a major social event, but a major economic event as well for the vendors,” he said, “because [their business] is exposed to more than 1,000 people throughout the day.”

Live music and dance performances are scheduled as well, and some vendors will sell crafts and other cultural items.

Many people always say they come back specifically for the food. That’s the thing they enjoy most.

Mahrajan Middle Eastern Food Festival returns

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

The Mahrajan Middle Eastern Food Festival, featuring authentic Lebanese pastries, meat and vegetarian appetizers and entrees, returns to the church where it all started as a simple Sunday afternoon meal more than 40 years ago.

At the time it was just one meal, and it was just for members of Our Lady of the Cedars

Melkite Catholic Church in Manchester. Now it spans three days, Friday, Aug. 18, through Sunday, Aug. 20, and everyone is welcome.

“There’s probably about 800 to 1,000 portions of everything we make,” event co-chair Marylou Lazos said. “The recipes are from people [involved] in the church, and a lot of them we’ve sort of been building on over the years.”

Visitors will have several options for appetizers to start with, like the tabbouleh salad,

made with fresh parsley and cracked wheat, tomatoes and lemon juice; the hummus bi tahini, a mashed chickpea dip with sesame paste and lemon that is served with bread and sweet onions; meat pies and spinach pies that are stuffed with onions, lemon juice and spices; and tzatziki, a yogurt cucumber dip made with garlic and mint.

The entree menu includes barbecue lamb, beef and chicken kabobs that are served with bread, rice pilaf, salad or lubyeh, which 44

Some foods will even be prepared on site during the festival, according to Rev. Thomas Steinmetz, like the munooshi, a baked bread made with za’atar, which is a sesame and thyme mixture. A bar will also be on site with wine and beer options, as well as arak, a Lebanese liquor Lazos said is not easy to find in the Granite State.

Steinmetz said other features of the festival like music and dancing celebrate Lebanese culture. DJ Kibar Moussoba, who will be there on Friday and Sunday, is this year’s emcee. Other performers include the George Maalouf Band, led by music composer George Maalouf, on Saturday and Sunday. There’s also face-painting, a bounce house, hookah rentals, backgammon games, a gift bazaar, raffles and more.

“It’s become a great family-oriented event for people to come enjoy themselves and find out what this kind of food is like if they’ve ever been interested,” Steinmetz said. “The people who are here making the food are always very happy to show how this type of ethnic food is made.”

beer festival. “[At] most brewfests, you have to be at least 21 to get in, but ours is unique in that it’s open to all ages,” she said, “so we have plenty of fun things for people who can’t or don’t want to drink, and ciders and other options people can enjoy if they don’t like beer.”

Visitors will be greeted by a Budweiser Clydesdale at the gate as they enter and receive a souvenir tasting glass, 10 beer and wing sampling tickets and a wing nut they will use to cast their votes for the restaurants with their favorite wings.

44 Nashua and surrounding towns will be participating in this year’s wing competition, the most since Gate City Brewfest started, according to Dennis.

“This is the first year we’ve opened [the wing competition] up to restaurants in neighboring towns,” she said, noting that the restaurants donate their wings. “Some of them go with a specific flavor they always have that does well for them, and other places try to be more unique. In the past, we’ve had craft beer used in a sauce for the wings that people could sample, so that was something really creative and unique.”

A panel of five judges will do blind taste tests for all the wings before voting on their favorite. But Dennis said all visitors can cast their own votes as well.

“There are technically two awards, for Judges’ Choice and People’s Choice,” she said.

Breweries participating in the festival will be there to offer samples of their best products or of new brews they have on tap.

Many breweries come from far and wide, like the 21st Amendment Brewery out of San Francisco, California, in addition to those residing right here in the Granite State, like 603 Brewery in Londonderry, the Able Ebenezer Brewing Co. in Merrimack, Millyard Brewery in Nashua and others. Most of them, according to Dennis, will also have staff members there to provide information on their brews for people in learning more about their products. “[The Brewfest] can actually be a great place for people learn about the different kinds of beers that are in the area, because members of the breweries that have the most knowledge will be there,” Dennis said.

Even the non-brewery vendors who will appear at the event will fit into the theme, Dennis said, like jewelry vendors that create products to go with beer.

Other activities will include a Positive Street Art battle, face-painting, a bounce house provided by the Nashua Silver Knights, and balloon and caricature artists. Live music acts to perform will be Alli Beaudry at 1:05 p.m., Supernothing at 2:10 p.m. and Over the Bridge at 3:30 p.m.

Participating breweries: 21st Amendment, 603 Brewery, Able Ebenezer Brewing Co., Anheuser-Busch, Backyard Brewery, Berkshire Brewing, Blue Point Brewing Co., Bornem, Cisco Brewery, Concord Craft Brewing, Dos Equis, Elysian Brewing Co., Foolproof Brewing Co., Founders Brewing Co., Global Beer Net-

Wine Dinner

What is your must-have kitchen item?

I’ve got a special organic coffee roaster that no one else has, so that’s the most important thing. … When I got it, I actually worked with an engineer that I hired to make it roast as slow as I need it to. All coffee has starch in it, and if you roast it too fast, the starches burn. You want to roast it slow because the starch turns to sugar, which will then caramelize. … There’s a major difference in taste and mouthfeel. You get coffee that is low in caffeine and high in flavor.

What would you choose to have for your last meal?

Katz’s Delicatessen [in Dover] has the best smoked pastrami, and we are the second best.

We have two smokers here and we smoke all our meats and briskets. … My chef here makes hand-carved pastrami. I’m a purist, so I want to taste every bit of it. So I guess it’d be a pastrami sandwich and a cup of black coffee.

What is your favorite thing on your menu?

I’m the biggest Coffee Coffee waffle person. We make our own batter for the waffle … and after it comes out, we top it off with double-shot espresso and maple syrup. We’ll also do different variations of it like with chocolate chips, strawberries and other fruits, and sometimes whipped cream.

What is your favorite local restaurant?

KC’s Rib Shack in Manchester. I like their ribs.

What is the biggest food trend in N.H. right now?

It’s always great to see some of the local, farm-to-table-type places popping up. The biggest thing that seems to be happening, around here at least, though, is pizza. It seems like you can get more pizza here than anywhere else.

What celebrity would you like to see eatWhat is your favorite thing to cook at ing in your restaurant? home?

We are big basketball fans. We would hapI roast coffee at home every day, [but] I pily host the whole Boston Celtics team; they also like using my barbecue grill, especially for fish and steaks. — Matt Ingersoll are very welcome here.

Barry Goldman has been roasting coffee beans from all over the world since 1966. In fact, some of the kinds you can get at Coffee Coffee (326 S. Broadway, Salem, 912-5381, coffeeroastersnh. com) are so unique that you’d be hard pressed to find them anywhere else in the world, let alone in New England. There’s the Ethiopian mocha sidamo, which contains natural mocha, and the Brazilian bourbon santos, a bean with a hint of natural vanilla. Goldman slow-roasts thousands of coffee beans himself every day to maximize the flavor of each coffee. Coffee Coffee even makes its own coffee ice cubes, blended with at least four different Guatemalan, Panamanian and other Central American coffees. In addition to coffee, there is a variety of burgers and sandwiches using homemade smoked meats, as well as pizzas, macaroni and cheese, muffins, brownies, cookies and a “Coffee Coffee waffle,” made with maple syrup and double-shot espresso. The restaurant hosts open mike-nights on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 6 to 9 p.m. and coffee tastings on Fridays at 7 p.m.

2 ounces espresso

3 teaspoons cocoa 1 cup frothed milk

Add the three teaspoons of cocoa to the cup of milk. Insert a double shot of espresso. Do not stir; it will be a threelayered drink.

Vegetable pad thai It’s that time of harvest — everything seems to be ripe and ready for eating. This week, I couldn’t bring myself to focus on just one perishable ingredient. Oh no, there are too many fresh and local things from which to choose. The key for me this week was finding recipes that incorporate as many farm-fresh vegetables as possible. In my own garden, I’ve got cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans and zucchini galore. Out there at the market there are carrots, peppers, onions and even corn. How’s a girl to choose?

It’s absolutely obvious that the average American doesn’t eat enough vegetables.

Sure, we struggle with obesity in this country, but what about heart disease and the innumerable diet fads that accompany it? If there’s one message out there that rings true, it’s this: Eat your vegetables. Your mom knew what she was talking about! Vegetables are filling, nutrient-dense and low in calories. They should make up most of our cuisine. Yet, do they? I frequently come back to Michael PolEasy Vegetable Pad Thai 1 zucchini (spiralized or grated) 1 small bunch carrots (spiralized or grated) 2 cups mung bean sprouts, divided in two 1 cup green onions, chopped 1 red pepper, very thinly sliced 8 ounces rice noodles, softened according to packet’s instructions 3 eggs 1 jar Watcharee’s pad thai sauce 2 teaspoon sesame oil ½ cup crushed dry roasted peanuts

Sundae to Your Funday call for details. lan’s thesis in his book In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto. In the first chapter, Pollan implores us to “eat food, not too much, mostly plants.” I consider myself a fairly healthy eater but must admit that I struggle big time with this! It’s much easier to choose meals based on carbohydrates or protein rather than the all-important vegetable.

This week, I took a shortcut so that I could focus on my veggies. I decided to make pad thai, but instead of creating my own sauce (which has proven very tricky for me in the past), I purchased a jar from a reputable brand. Watcharee’s sauces, available at my local Hannaford, hail from Yarmouth, Maine.

Their ingredients are excellent: no fillers and no high-fructose corn syrup. So even though I am taking a shortcut with sauce, I don’t have to feel like I’m undoing all my efforts in making a vegetable-centered dish. Hopefully you have them available but, if not, you can get them at watcharee.com (no, this is not a sponsored column!). — Allison Willson Duda

Heat oil over medium high heat in wok or very large frying pan. I decided to add the peppers to the wok first because they were the meatiest of the vegetables. I prepped and stirred for about 1 minute, until slightly cooked. Then, add the remaining vegetables (only half of the bean sprouts) and stir for about 2-3 minutes. Make a clearing in the middle of the pan and add the eggs. Immediately break yolks and stir until slightly scrambled. Drop in noodles and sauce, mixing all together. Add in remaining bean sprouts at last second and mix. Put into serving platter and top with peanuts. Serve hot.

People commonly ask me, “New Hampshire has wineries?” Technically, I think every state in the U.S. now has at least one winery, and New Hampshire is no exception. We have several, in fact, with active and creative winemakers who are constantly making new wines for all of us to enjoy.

And their wines are winning medals and stacking up against other wines across New England.

Every year, several New Hampshire wineries submit entries into the Big E Wine Competition. Our state had no shortage of winners this year, including the “Premier Exhibitor Best Winery” category taken by Jewell Towne Vineyards in South Hampton.

Jewell Towne had quite a showing in this year’s competition, also earning “Best New Hampshire Wine” and Double Gold — the only one this year — for their 2016 Vignoles. Their 2016 Valvin Muscat was named “Best New Hampshire Grown Wine.”

New Hampshire wines that earned gold medals include LaBelle Winery’s Gewürztraminer and Sparkling Cranberry and Jewell Towne’s South Hampton White and Petite Amie.

The list of silver medal earners includes Jewell Towne’s 2016 Valvin Muscat; Copper Beech Winery’s Wild Blue, Crisp Apple, Melisi Heritage Apple and Autumn Harvest; LaBelle Winery’s White Alchemy, Granite State Red, Red Alchemy and Cranberry; Appolo Vineyards’ Niagara and Brianna Reserve; Sweet Baby Vineyard’s Niagara and Amarone, and Zorvino Vineyards’ Niagara and Maple.

Bronze medal winners were Appolo Vineyards’ Bridesmaid, China Girl, Dragonfly Red and Blushing Bride; Black Bear Vineyard’s La Crescent; Jewell Towne Vineyards’ Leon Millot, Vidal Blanc Ice Wine, Seyval, Alden, Landot Noir and Aurore; Sweet Baby Vineyard’s Marechal Foch, Barn Door Red, Strawberry Wine, Apple Wine, White Peach, Blueberry Wine and Raspberry Wine; LaBelle Winery’s Amherst Vineyard White Estate, Dry Blueberry, Verano Sangria, Riesling and Seyval Blanc Reserve, and Zorvino Vineyards’ St. Croix.

Congratulations to all our local winners who are making great wine! If you’re looking for some new wines to try, this list is a good starting point. Many of these wines are available at New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet stores, area grocery stores or the vineyards.

What I am drinking

A friend and I recently shared a bottle of Boom Boom! Syrah. I think I have had this wine before, but it had been a while.

It paired better with the grilled steak tips she was having as it can stand up to gamier meats, but went well enough with my chicken teriyaki kabobs.

This wine comes from Washington and is mainly syrah grapes with a small amount of viognier blended in. It is a very earthy wine, meaning it has aromas of herbs and a slight hint of dirt. Thankfully, on the palate there are notes of black cherries and tobacco.

According to the winemaker, it is “an explosive dark cherry bomb,” hence the name.

There are noticeable tannins on the finish.

I will admit that it took me a few minutes to warm up to this wine. There may be a couple different reasons for this: I have been drinking white recently; it was a little bit earthier than I was expecting, and I haven’t had syrah in a while. After a few sips, though, I found it enjoyable. I wouldn’t drink this wine on a hot summer day, but as we head into fall and winter, this would be one of my picks. It typically retails for about $15 to $20 in area grocery stores and New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet stores.

Hollis Grape Festival

Fulchino Vineyard in Hollis, celebrating its 10th year, is asking everyone to save the date of Sept. 10 for what should be a fun all-ages event: the Hollis Grape Festival. This event is a way to raise money for the Hollis Police Benevolent Association while also celebrating parts of the wine harvest. The location and more details will be announced soon, but what I can tell you right now is that it should include wine, gelato, grape stomping with photo opportunities, a silent auction and fun for the whole family. More details and information will be available at fulchinovineyard.com or by visiting the winery’s Facebook page.

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Venemous Maximus, No Warning (Shadow Kingdom Records)

It’s been a while since I just picked a random metal album and tried to make sense of it, and why not this band, who are said to be the kings of the Houston, Texas, scene, right? It’s not a complete accident that they wound up on tour with the Motorhead-ish High on Fire, what with this band’s influences pointing to Mayyyden, but no one gets past the gates of Music Critic Doom without having at least an atom-sized grain of originality. The thing starts out with a nice cheesy 1980s-horror-movie intro and then slips into gear with “Spellbound” (remember, they’re just “kings of Houston metal,” not “kings of song title creators”) and, by George, it’s Bauhaus! This is awesome you guys, seriously, a bit like Fields of the Nephilim (does anyone remember them? Anyone at all?). Off-Broadway-goth, some Judas Priest nods, a hilariously spooky “ballad” led off by a deep-voiced skit (“All of My Dreams”), this has it all. They are the kings of Houston metal, I hereby decree! B- — Eric W. Saeger Ded, Mis-An-Thrope (Suretone Records)

If you’ve been missing the glory days of nu-metal, you’re definitely alone.

No, I’m kidding, there was nothing like Slipknot: half the kickass-ness of Korn, a DJ who single-handedly nearly ruined drum-n-bass, a growl-sing-growl formula that could have gone the way of the trilobite after one LP for all I honestly cared. But that’s just my opinion; maybe if it hadn’t been for them, we wouldn’t have had Rage Against the Machine or Limp Bizkit — oh wait, Slipknot came after those guys, not before. OK, sure, I can knock it off with the Slipknot hate, at least for a minute, seeing as how that’s what this Tempe, Arizona, band’s debut LP is all about, a rebirth of heavy metal’s worst era, but this time the pandering to middlebrows goes deeper, opening with the lunkheaded mosh callout “Architect,” its formulaic intents doubling down with the trigger lyric “When I say go, go psycho!” It’s like feeling the invisible hand of The Man trying to wring all the energy out of the working class over nothing, man, I mean honestly. Next comes the obligato pre-indie-hip-hop rap-infused chestnut “Anti-Everything,” a deep threat toward the worst-era Linkin Park period that in the end has butter on its fingers. If this gets the slightest bit of traction I’d honestly be amazed. C- — Eric W. Saeger

• Nobody cared about Sacramento rapper “Lil Tim” until he changed his name to Mozzy, and suddenly he was on the corporate tip and Rolling Stone was saying he was cool. This may have been due to having U.K. dubstepper DJ Fresh as a producer, which made basically no sense at all, but maybe that was the point in the first place, and yes, the beats were pretty dope. Mozzy’s new LP, 1 Up Top Ahk, is due to street on Aug. 18, and it will feature the single “Messy Murder Scenes,” which is dark and righteously neo-gangsta, even if there’s too much trap in the beat; I seriously will not miss that sound.

• Well now, here’s that rare type of band that we rarely see these days, one of those bands that play what’s called “Good Music.”

Yes, it’s U.K. indie-art-pop wombats Everything Everything, who claim to be influenced by every style except 12-bar blues.

Their fourth full-length, A Fever Dream, is due out on Aug. 18, and of course there is a single, titled “Can’t Do,” the video for which is populated by weirdo dancers making weird moves on a dark dystopian set. The tune comprises the slightly dubby sort of electro beat that Deadmau5 might kind of dig, except the singing doesn’t suck, making it borderline trip-hop but with an attitude.

This song would crush everything Moby ever wrote in one stomp.

• I’ll bet every single one of you people had forgotten about Brooklyn uber-hipster band Grizzly Bear, except for the few poor deluded beard-oil users who read Nylon for the articles.

Yes, it’s been five years since they released their Shields LP on Warp Records, and people forgot to say they’re awesome underground dudes, so they said “the heck with you guys anyway” to all the MBA-majoring clubbers in the skinny jeans and gave in and signed with the corporate lizard-people at RCA, to release Painted Ruins, due on the 18th. “Mourning Sound,” the single, has cheesy synths, an ’80s vibe, lazy vocals and no immediately redeeming qualities, everything I expected and more.

• Seventy-year-old Texas cowpoke singer guy Ray Wylie Hubbard is one of those comeback types. After he gained fame during the 1970s with the hit “Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother” and subsequently became a second banana to Merle Haggard and all those guys whenever some Hollywood bigwig wanted to “enhance a scene with country ambiance” or whatever, people forgot how awesome he is, but then they started remembering again during the Aughts and such. His 15th-or-so record, Tell The Devil That I’m Getting There As Fast As I Can, is streeting imminently, led by the title track as a single, which has the same kind of feel (and chords) (and music) as “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” but I’ll be nice and give him a pass for being unoriginal for one song, aside from feeling compelled to mention it to the small group of 45,000 people who read this paper. — Eric W.

from the point of view of a person who is close to someone with cystic fibrosis, rather than of a person with cystic fibrosis himself. That way, Ferracamo said, the story is multi-layered; it shows every aspect of how cystic fibrosis, or any terminal disease, affects both the person living with it and the people around him.

While The Gift of 65 Roses storyline isn’t directly autobiographical, Ferracamo said, the ideas and themes behind it are very personal.

“These are things that I’ve gone through, living with cystic fibrosis. I’m faced with my own mortality every day with the medicine I take and the treatments I go through, and I’ve realized that things I used to think were important aren’t important anymore,” he said. “I think as an artist, your work is better when it’s about something that you’ve been through and can understand.”

Ferracamo plans to start shooting the film next year in Massachusetts and possibly New Hampshire and will hold a screening of the full film in New Hampshire once it’s complete.

“This state has been so supportive,” he said. “I really want to keep New Hampshire involved in the film.”

The Gift of 65 Roses preview event When: Friday, Aug. 18, from 4 to 9 p.m.

Where: 603 Brewery, 12 Liberty Drive, Londonderry Cost: $30. Ticket includes food for the night, five 5-ounce beer samples, a souvenir pint glass and a raffle ticket.

Seven years ago, Nicholas Ferracamo was working as a film actor in New York City when he got an idea for a script of his own. As someone living with cystic fibrosis, Ferracamo noticed that the disease was vastly underrepresented in the film world.

In hopes of changing that, he started writing The Gift of 65 Roses, not knowing whether he’d ever have the chance to make the film a reality.

“I really wanted to, one, make a great film, and two, bring awareness to cystic fibrosis, because a lot of people I talk to have heard of it but don’t know what it is,” Ferracamo, of Milford, Mass., said. “I wanted to write a film that not only talked about it but also approached it in a manner that would relate to anyone, whether they have a disease or not.”

In 2014, he partnered with one of his former directors, Artie Vincent, to launch a new production company, Cinema Veritas Productions. As they talked about what to do for their debut film, Ferracamo mentioned The Gift of 65 Roses. It was just the kind of film they were looking for — something impactful, yet feasible for a fledgling production company to make.

On Friday, Aug. 18, Ferracamo, Vincent and two of their associate producers will be at 603 Brewery in Londonderry for a special event to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis and about the making of The Gift of 65 Roses. In addition to food, beer, games and other festivities, there will be a screening of the film trailer, a presentation by Ferracamo and a Q&A. A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

“The idea is to help get support for cystic fibrosis and to get the word out about the film so people can follow what we’re trying to do,” Ferracamo said. “We want people to get involved and join us on this journey.”

The Gift of 65 Roses follows the story of Rich, a man in his early 30s who made all the “right” choices in life but can’t find contentment. Rich’s brother Joe, who has cystic fibrosis, chose following his passions over making all the right choices, but he, too, questions whether that is the right way to live.

“He realizes that life is getting shorter, and that it’s not always about the right choices,” Ferracamo said. “It’s about finding the truth within yourself and finding a life that you want to live. There is no right or wrong. There’s no playbook for this life.”

POP CULTURE BOOKS

Since We Fell, by Dennis Lehane (HarperCollins, 418 pages) Fast-paced, twisty, yet thoughtful, Since We Fell builds and builds but it is awfully difficult to be ready for the crescendo.

I’ve been a big fan of Dennis Lehane for a long time — completely sucked in by Lehane’s 1998 novel, Gone Baby Gone — and Since We Fell did not disappoint. Many of Lehane’s novels couple suspenseful mysteries with real and thoughtful character studies; his novels are a great ride, but they also make you think.

Since We Fell, though sort of a love story at its core, fits that mold as well, but in a different way than his other novels.

Rachel Childs is on a quest to find out who her father is. Growing up, Rachel’s complicated, selfish and semi-famous mother refuses to identify her father. Her motives are unclear, but Rachel never stops trying to solve the riddle. When her mother dies unexpectedly, Rachel, a college student, begins in earnest to search for an answer to the father question.

The narrative follows Rachel as she doggedly works to track down her father and as she pursues an award-winning journalism career, working her way up to the Boston Globe and later a Boston television station.

But then, suddenly, she has a breakdown and her world caves in on her, leaving her career and life in shambles and rendering her a virtual shut-in.

Lehane’s characters meet plenty of challenges, but many of his most compelling works involve characters who must overcome (or not) their own inner demons. Rachel, who must battle her own mind, fits that bill: a successful, driven journalist who suddenly must figure out how to bounce back from a major and very public breakdown.

Though Lehane’s other novels are complex, the reader generally understands early on where things are going — there is often a mystery to solve or we certainly have a pretty good idea what the main character is aiming for.

In Since We Fell, I honestly didn’t have a handle on where things were going for the first half of the book. That didn’t matter to me, as Rachel is an incredibly compelling character, but I was largely clueless on what the narrative had in store for her.

Lehane spends the first third of the novel laying a foundation for Rachel, defining her, or at least displaying how the people in her life have helped shape her, even if they have just played bit parts: She “[f]elt too the old suspicion that life, as she has thus far experienced it, was a

series of detachments. Characters crossed the stage, and some hung around longer than others, but all ultimately exited.”

About halfway through, things change abruptly — and abruptly probably isn’t strong enough. The reader still sees Rachel develop as a character, but let’s just say the gas pedal sticks with regard to the plot. Calling it a thrill ride from that point forward seems to cheapen the thoughtfulness of the language, but still, the reader does have to white-knuckle his way through.

Rachel is complicated. She’s tough and persistent and smart and extremely relatable, but she’s also vulnerable, scared, unsure of herself and not particularly trusting or willing to open up to others. That complexity makes her real and worth following on her unpredictable journey.

The dialogue is wonderful: witty (but not too witty), believable, at times fun, and very real, even at the darkest moments. Rachel attempts to evade a potentially predatory drunk at a bar: “‘Offended your sense of proprietary, did it?’

‘No.’ She didn’t correct his malapropism, but she did fail to stifle a sigh.”

Since We Fell makes you think about your own life and how you would handle things if it all fell apart. Would you bounce back? Where would you go if you just followed your instincts? It also makes you think pretty hard about how well you know the people in your life.

The story is at once a mystery, a thriller and a chaotic love story. While some of the plot twists come up to the edge of over-the-top, Rachel’s believability and her relatability keep it at least somewhat grounded in a topsy-turvy reality.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Annabelle: Creation (R)

Orphans staying at a rundown home in the country are menaced by evil in Annabelle: Creation, the second movie in the series about a super-creepy-looking doll.

Don’t worry if you don’t remember the first movie. Not until the very end of this movie, when we see how it twists around to connect with the first, did I even remember what the first Annabelle was about, and yet I followed this movie just fine.

Here, we start with a loving family: doll-maker Samuel Mullins (Anthony LaPaglia), his wife Esther (Miranda Otto) and their daughter Bee (Samara Lee), on whom they dote. Because being a happy family with a young daughter in a horror movie is like being a cop on his last day before retirement in an action movie, I am not shocked when things take a sudden horrible turn for the Mullinses.

Jump 12 years and we see the Mullins’ once grand house in a state of disrepair. A bus of orphans drives up and we learn that Mr. Mullins has agreed to let Sister Charlotte (Stephanie Sigman) and her six young charges stay in the large house: teen girls Carol (Grace Fulton) and Nancy (Philippa Coulthard), tweenish-types Kate (Taylor Buck) and Tierney (Lou Lou Safran) and close friends Janice (Talitha Bateman) and Linda (Lulu Wilson). Janice is still recovering from polio and walks with crutches.

Even though she thinks this may hurt her chance at adoption, she and Linda vow to stick together and try to end up with the same family.

The Mullins house is nice but clearly a

Do not enter this room, which is never unlocked, says Mr. Mullins. Naturally, Janice is drawn to the room, the door of which opens, and to a closet that contains a giant scary doll that even she tries to lock back in there. But, ha!, nice try, Janice! Once you open to door for the doll, the doll accepts your invitation to come out and infect people with evil and/ or murder them.

ror movie. It just doesn’t seem to take itself super-seriously. I laughed out loud at least once and found myself chuckling a few more times. And it wasn’t just me — I heard laughter elsewhere in the theater where I saw this movie. The things we were laughing at — bits of dialogue, bits of scared-face business from the actors, comic understatement — weren’t movie flaws or camp. But it’s clear that the movie knows what kind of story it’s telling, a story that involves an evil doll and a glowyeyed demon. In fact, I think a character may even refer to the doll as a creepy-looking doll. I appreciate this. Too often in horror movies (including the forgotten-by-me first Annabelle, according to my review) there is no acknowledgment of the weirdness or Stark/Iron Man. 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 that somehow pack a bigger wallop. A

the creepiness until, like, the bedroom furniture has come alive and is killing people.

There’s something refreshing about characters who state matter-of-factly that weird things are happening and people are going to die.

The actors fit nicely into this environment. Nobody is shocked, shocked that the doors are closing by themselves or that the mask-wearing lady has a sad secret. But also, nobody is wisecracking. Everybody does what they need to do, is as freaked out or secretive or whatever as they need to be — not Oscar-worthy, just getting the job done.

I’ll admit that this is not necessarily my preferred flavor of movie; I tend to find straight-up, no-twist horror to be frankly kind of boring (nothing is more boring to me than a jump scare and there was a long time when horror movies seemed to be 90 percent jump scares, 10 percent eye squishenings which is also on my least-favorite list). But The Conjuring movies, from which this Annabelle series is an offshoot, have generally been good about putting a layer of something else (self-awareness plus, occasionally, character development and solid pacing) on the unexpected door slams and spooky shadows. Annabelle: Creation has just enough standard scariness to, I think, please fans of non-gory horror and enough skill at story construction to keep casual watchers from walking out. C+ Rated R for horror violence and terror. Directed by David F. Sandberg with a screenplay by Gary Dauberman, Annabelle: Creation is an hour and 49 minutes long and distributed by Warner Bros.

NITE Family notes Local music news & events

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

• On the bus: Celebrate Woodstock ‘69’s anniversary with George Walker, Norman Bean & the Merry Band of Pranksters.

The Bend, Oregon-based group, a mainstay on the jam band circuit (including the upcoming Cannabis Freedom Festival in Lancaster), includes former Grateful Dead keyboard player Tom Constanten and Widespread Panic’s P-nut Daniels. Go Thursday, Aug. 17, 8 p.m., Jewel Music Venue, 61 Canal St., Manchester. Tickets are $10 at jewelnh.com.

• Chapeau show: With a bevy of new songs, Pat & the Hats return to a favorite Concord haunt. After spending July writing, rehearsing and relaxing, the NEMA winners are busy now. They recently played a well-received showcase in their new home base of Cambridge. This local event follows an appearance in Portland, Maine; next up is another gig in Cambridge. In September they’ll head to New York. Go Friday, Aug. 18, 7 p.m. True Brew Barista, 3 Bicentennial Square, Concord. See patandthehats.com.

• Good vibes: Nihco Gallo Trio approaches jazz with a “sampling mentality,” shifting between familiar tunes from the realms of soul, classical and hip-hop. Vibraphonist Gallo is a mainstay on the Seacoast music scene and a favorite at the annual Weirs Beach Jazz Series, held (weather permitting) in an outdoor garden setting. The group’s show is part of the series’ final weekend. Go Saturday, Aug. 19, 7 p.m., at Patio Garden Restaurant, 21 Weeks St., Laconia.

• Bucolic blues: Enjoy music in a splendid setting as TJ Wheeler performs blues and jazz with saxophone player Charlie Jennison and improvisational tap dancer Ayan ImaiHall. Allow enough pre-show time to walk around the intricate gardens, which include sculpted hedgerows, wrought iron art, and otherworldly chairs to sit and take it all in. Go Sunday, Aug. 20, 5 p.m., Bedrock Gardens, 45 High Road, Lee. Tickets are $15; e-mail hello@bedrockgardens.org.

• Song man: Prolific singer-songwriter Joe Purdy was among a gaggle of music luminaries who joined John Prine on stage to help close out Newport Folk Festival. He and fellow folkie Amber Rubarth star in American Folk – The Movie, a road trip film set in the days following 9/11. It’s described as “a story about the kindness of strangers and the power of music.” See Purdy Wednesday, Aug. 23, 7 p.m., Prescott Park, 105 Marcy St., Portsmouth. Visit prescottpark.org.

Music from Kevin & Michael Bacon

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

There’s a note on the Bacon Brothers website acknowledging that fraternal bands often don’t work out.

In a recent joint interview, Kevin Bacon bemoaned that fact.

“I feel bad for the Black Crowes, Oasis, the Everlys and the Beach Boys; it’s sad,” he said. “But I guess the truth is, bands in general don’t last that long — brothers or not.”

Older sibling Michael Bacon sees an 11-year age gap as the key variable in fraternal harmony.

“Most of the brother bands that I am aware of are pretty close in age, like Irish Brothers,” he said. “We didn’t battle, and I would say Kevin is really someone that I was teaching. I think he really did look up to me.”

Beyond that, he said, is a shared aesthetic and strong family values.

“We’re old guys,” Michael Bacon said.

“We’ve each been married for a zillion years and don’t go on stage competing for adulation ... instead of something that would rip a band apart, the brother thing keeps us together, because first we have an incredible trust — that’s what family is.”

As a teenager, Kevin Bacon tagged along when his older brother’s band played shows in their hometown of Philadelphia. In 1972, Michael Bacon got married and moved to Nashville, in search of a songwriting career.

Despite writing for the publisher who handled Dolly Parton and Kris Kristofferson, he never warmed up to the city.

“I am pretty much a dyed-in-the-wool Northeasterner,” he said. “What I really wanted to do was get to New York, which I eventually did; and we are still there.”

Bacon Brothers Band When: Friday, Aug. 25, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Flying Monkey, 39 Main St., Plymouth Tickets: $59 and up at flyingmonkeynh.com

Nite Life Music, Comedy & Parties • VOLARE JAZZ BAND at Kimball Library (5 Academy Avenue, Atkinson 362-5234) on Thursday, Aug. 17, 6 p.m. This talented group of musicians are from the Timberlane Community Band. They perform a repertoire of big band tunes from yesterday and today.

Courtesy photo.

After making two mostly overlooked solo albums, he found success composing for films.

Though they’ve played together forever, the Bacon Brothers weren’t formally a band until the mid-1990s. They’ve made six studio albums, most recently 2014’s 36 Cents.

Their music holds it own, particularly infectious rockers like “Boys in Bars” and “Driver” — the marquee name is a bonus.

The family dynamic extends beyond the brothers in a video for the single “Broken Glass.” Kevin Bacon’s daughter Sosie stars in the clip, which traces backward the steps of a bad day. The 25-year-old actress has worked with her dad and mother Kyra Sedgewick before, so casting her was pretty easy.

“I sent her the treatment to see if she was interested, but if she’d said, ‘No, I don’t think I want to do this one,’ I would have begrudgingly found somebody else,” he said, adding that her connections in the young L.A. acting community helped with production.

Along with an acting daughter, Kevin Bacon and Sedgewick have a musician son, although Travis Bacon’s music bears no resemblance to dad’s. His last band was death metal trio called Black Anvil. Kevin Bacon has watched his son evolve since he took up guitar at age 12.

• LOW LILY (FORMERLY ANNALIVIA) at Nashua Public Library (2 Court St., Nashua 5894610) on Thursday, Aug. 17, 7 p.m.

Concertgoers are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair, a friend, and a picnic.

• MELLOW YELLOW at Rotary Arts Pavilion (Henry Law Park, Dover 742-2218) on Friday, Aug. 18,

“His first band was Incubus-influenced and then he sort of went to punk and then moved into various kinds of metal,” he said. “His new project is called HogWash and is much more melodic ... it’s still pretty heavy but much hookier with a little bit more traditional song structure. Even though he plays that kind of stuff, he also likes James Taylor and Springsteen ... it’s part of his upbringing.”

“Broken Glass” is one of five songs recently completed by the band or in development.

“We’re sort of in a writing bloom at the moment,” Michael Bacon said. “This summer, we revisited a lot of places that we have played before or will be in the future, and I think we really felt like we had to come up with some new stuff. When we get up to New England, we’ll have a lot of new songs, some of which we know and have played for a while and some which we will have just learned.”

The songwriting process is democratic, reflecting the familial trust alluded to by Michael Bacon.

“Now that we’re totally equals in the band, I don’t think we bring back any of that garbage from childhood,” he said. “Which is not to say that we don’t get on each other’s nerves; I mean, after three weeks on a bus — absolutely.”

7 p.m. Mellow Yellow pays tribute to the 1960s and 1970s with authentic renditions of some of the genre’s greatest songs.

• QUENTIN CALLEWAERT at Livery in Sunapee Harbor (58 Main St., Sunapee info@sunapeeheritagealliance.org) on Friday, Aug. 18, 7 p.m. $15/person. One of the most gifted guitarists around and

lengths of time, lengths beyond human visualisation, stand between the present and that moment when the universe exploded from a nothingness — nothingness also beyond human visualisation. … Yet the dust and debris of that beginning still continue to fly outwards.

You are likely to encounter dust and debris.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Finally, she had burst into speech. ‘It’s no good. I don’t want to go to bloody Mars! Why should anyone want to go to bloody Mars? Have they got coffee shops there? Movies? Gardens, streets, hotels? Music? Anything living or lively? Not a bit of it! Sorry, Tad — you go alone if you must!’ Go where it’s lively.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) No meaning in a galaxy — or in the whole universe?

Why should there be? … It may be that mind lends meaning. … The wily squirrel, clearly a conscious being, prefers its tree. But we have come down from the trees to face — or to invent — the mystery alone. Cooperation is the way to solve mysteries.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) A woman … suggested that since there was such a high preponderance of women … a language should be introduced used solely by women.

Many messages are being sent and received.

Be careful with translations.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) The fact was that once the existential thrill of actually being on a planet other than Earth had become blunted by custom, routine had set in.

The routine won’t bust out of itself.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) So human life, let us say for a moment, has meaning. Does that mean also that the existence of viruses holds a meaning for them? Animals certainly have minds. But no concept of Mind. … Or supposing the universe has a meaning — supposing it is its own meaning — does that give human life meaning? And what if ‘meaning’ itself holds no meaning? No quick answers this week.

Quotes are from Finches of Mars, by Brian W. Aldiss, born Aug. 18, 1925.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) A day’s schedule began with the Brightener. All those not on urgent duty gathered for a morning’s discussion of how things were going. The Brightener was intended to chase away any feelings of loneliness or despair. … Those who had some current troubles preferably stowed them away and showed the brighter side of their personalities. It’s not that you should choose denial, but be aware of what you focus on when.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) ‘Excuse me,’ said Ambroise. He thrust his hands into his trouser pockets, indicating that he was only partially regretful for his remarks. As everyone knows, that is what thrusting your hands into your trouser pockets means. How else did you expect people to take it?

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) On the whole, most people were annoyed that they had been forced to listen to Ooma’s poem. Poetry was one item which had not reached Mars. That river had run dry. Poetry is only going to get you so far.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) On Mars she had the company of others, many of whom, like her, had suffered isolation in early youth, and in consequence had adapted to the chills of solitude. You can be alone but together.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) With his hands in his pockets, Amboise strolled about in a circle, thinking, his shadow forming a confused pattern at his feet. The cat moved cautiously away from him. Wouldn’t you?

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) The human brain has its limitations. … Questions lie in wait for answers. The trap is baited. There was a hope that some approach to some answers might be found on the arid shores of the planet Mars. It’s a time of questions and answers.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Enormous

Inexplicable

Friday, August 18

Odessa, Texas, resident Ernesto Baeza Acosta, 34, has legally changed his name to Ernesto Trump and declared himself the son of President Trump. His NSFW Facebook page features photographs of Ernesto wearing a Trump-like wig and asks viewers to “Please share this so that my Dad your president can see this and spend time with me.” Ernesto is a fan of President Trump, but his immigrant mother is unamused about his name change.

Bright ideas

Alana Nicole Donahue, 27, of Springfield, Oregon, just wanted to entertain her children and nephew with a joy ride around the neighborhood. But on July 12, as she pulled the kids (ages 2, 4 and 8) behind her Ford Taurus in a plastic red wagon, she was arrested for reckless endangerment. Donahue told police she was just “showing the kids a good time.” However, horrified witnesses saw the car going about 30 mph as the wagon went up on two wheels going around a busy traffic circle at rush hour.

Unclear on the concept

David Blackmon identified himself as a drug dealer when he called the Okaloosa (Florida) County Sheriff’s Office on July 16 to report that $50 in cash and a quarterounce of cocaine had been stolen from his car. When officers investigated, they found a baggie with “suspected cocaine,” a crack pipe and a crack rock in the car. Blackmon was charged with possession of cocaine and drug paraphernalia.

A security robot named Steve suffered a soggy fatal error on July 17 when it tumbled down several steps and into a fountain in Washington, D.C. New to the job, the robot had been patrolling the Washington Harbour area of Georgetown, mapping out its features in an effort to prevent just such an accident. “He looked so happy and healthy,” an area mourner tweeted after the incident. Another observer was less sympathetic. “Robots: 0; humans: 1,” he tweeted.

Least competent criminals

• The Pink Panther he ain’t. Police in Wayne County, North Carolina, are looking for a careless cat burglar who keeps waking people up as he robs them. At least one victim awakened by the slender white man in early July has seen him wearing a pink polka-dot beach towel around his head. Police aren’t sure if he’s actually gotten away with any loot.

• Three heads are apparently not better than one, as three China Grove, North Carolina, masterminds demonstrated on July 12. Rex Allen Farmer, his son, Rex Carlo

Farmer, and the younger man’s girlfriend, Kayla Nicole Price, cooked up a scheme to rob the Mooresville gas station where the elder Farmer worked. Surveillance video showed Carlo, disguised in a woman’s dress and wig, emptying the cash register as his father, the clerk on duty, stood by. Carlo then ran outside and removed the dress and wig, setting them on fire next to the building. However, the fire spread to a meter on the building and a privacy fence, thus summoning authorities. Police soon caught up to all three and arrested them.

Anger management

The Animal Kingdom

Government in action

• An African grey parrot named Bud may have been the key witness in convicting 49-year-old Glenna Duram of White Cloud, Michigan, in the shooting death of her husband, Martin Duram, 46. The investigation of the 2015 shooting dragged on for a year before Martin’s first wife, who inherited the parrot, shared with a local TV station a videotape of Bud imitating two people having an argument, including the words “Don’t (expletive) shoot.” Three weeks later, Glenna Duram was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, and on July 19, she was found guilty.

• Fire department dispatchers in Branson, Missouri, must have thought they were being punked on July 22, when they received a call to rescue a bird from a tree.

But it was no joke. A ladder truck was dispatched to rescue a parrot that had escaped and became tangled in its leash 50 feet up in a tree. (Bonus: The firefighter who braved the 50-foot climb was Colt Boldman.)

Two AT&T utility workers apparently didn’t work fast enough on lines outside the home of Jorge Jove, 64, of Hialeah, Florida, on July 19. After confronting the workers, Jove went back into his house, came out carrying a gun and began shooting at the AT&T trucks, deflating the tires.

Jove reloaded twice and shot at the trucks’ engines before aiming at Gilberto Ramos, a service worker who was up on a utility pole. Jove was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

• Adi Astl, 73, took it upon himself to solve a safety problem in Tom Riley Park in the Etobicoke area of Toronto, Ontario. Accessing the park meant navigating a steep hill, and Astl felt it was dangerous.

The city balked at building a staircase, citing a cost between $65,000 and $150,000.

So Astl, a retired mechanic, built it himself, with the help of a homeless man for $550.

Responding to the resulting media storm, the city now plans to build a regulation staircase costing $10,000. “Bureaucrats, bureaucrats, bureaucrats,” Astl concluded.

• Meanwhile, in British Columbia’s New Westminster, the city has constructed, at a cost of $200,000, an unfinished stairway to nowhere. The structure was originally intended to replace a required fire escape on a building, but was left incomplete and unattached to the building when concerns arose about wires overhead. “I thought it was an artwork, but I don’t think it makes that much sense,” said passerby Lawrence Kong.
