Web-based games have never interested me. It is probably a generational thing. Nevertheless, one recently reviewed in the New York Times caught my attention because it has a real-world application. Payback is an interactive simulation that allows would-be college students to calculate the return on investment on college costs, academic programs, extracurricular activities and other critical factors that result in completing college and graduating with a job that will enable them to repay student loan debt. While economists are divided on the question of whether or not student loan debt is a drag on the U.S. economy, all acknowledge that the total has quadrupled since 2004. What is truly disturbing, however, is the toll it is taking on the lives of young people saddled with repayments that represent an increasingly larger percentage of their income, thereby hampering their plans for marriage, housing and families. Those who regularly deal with bad debt collection can tell heartbreaking stories of lives in jeopardy because of ill-informed decisions taken at the outset of college loan borrowing. When, as a college president, I would greet audiences of new students and their parents, I always asked the students present three questions. “How many of you have purchased a computer with your own money?” Quite a number of hands would go up. Then, “How many of you have bought a car entirely with your own money?” Just a few hands would be raised. Finally, “How many of you have bought a house with your own money?” No hands would be seen. “So,” I would say, “in the case of the computer or the car you bought, I’ll assume you shopped carefully to get the best value for your investment. Are you doing that now, as you look at our college? Because you are about to spend the equivalent of buying a house.” The parents in the audience would get the message immediately. What does it mean to get the best value for one’s investment in a college? Might it be finding the balance between a college education and a college experience? Yes; the amenities of a college campus — halls of residence, dining center, fitness facilities, ubiquitous technology and great social life — are important. But what about the student/teacher ratio, availability of internships, the quality of labs and teaching/learning spaces, satisfaction of graduates and networking for jobs after graduation? To check these out requires more than a one-hour campus tour. The stakes are high; the choices today greater than ever, and the need for wise investment critical.

NEWS & NOTES Insurance rates

After President Donald Trump announced plans to defund cost-sharing subsidies, New Hampshire’s delegation responded with harsh criticism. The subsidies, known as CSRs, are meant to keep health insurance premiums low for low-income patients. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said the move is an attempt to “unravel the [Affordable Care Act’s] patient protections and to destabilize healthcare marketplaces.” Sen. Maggie Hassan said Trump is “cruelly and intentionally” raising health care costs for millions of Americans. Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter called the decision “spiteful” and Congresswoman Annie Kuster called it “damaging,” not only to the health care markets but to bipartisan attempts to improve the health care system. The New Hampshire Insurance Department released a statement from Commissioner Roger Sevigny, saying the three insurers offering plans in 2018 (Ambetter, Anthem and Harvard Pilgrim) assumed the CSRs would be defunded when they calculated their prices, so no additional change is expected. Some individual market plans were expected to jump in price by as much as 45 percent. Gov. Chris Sununu has pleaded with Trump openly not to stop cost-sharing payments for fear of destabilizing the market in New Hampshire, but since the decision was made, Sununu has not criticized it. “I’m pleased that we as a state had the foresight to allow for this possibility, and I’m encouraged by the stability we’ve been able to maintain,” he said in a statement. Meanwhile, according to a press release from the Senate Democratic Caucus, Democratic leaders in the state are calling on Sununu and Republican lawmakers to pass a reinsurance program that would ostensibly lower rates by an estimated 5 percent. Republicans rejected the plan in August.

Nashua state Rep. Steve Negron announced he is running for the Republican ticket in the 2nd District congressional race. NHPR reported Negron filed the candidacy paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Oct. 13 and a video was posted to his campaign

website in which he says “we are coming back to take our state.” The first-term legislator joins VA whistleblower Dr. Stewart Levenson and Former House Majority Leader Jack Flanagan in the race. The seat is currently held by Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster.

House speaker

In a press release, Gov. Chris Sununu announced his pick for the next commissioner of agriculture is current House Speaker Shawn Jasper. According to the release, Jasper’s family has a poultry business and he’s been a lifelong member of the Future Farmers of America Alumni Association. If Jasper is confirmed and leaves the speakership, there are a number of candidates ready to run for the seat. NHPR reported Republicans Gene Chandler of Bartlett, Laurie Sanborn of Bedford, John Burt of Goffstown and James McConnell of North Swanzey have all announced their candidacy. A special election would be held in late November.

generation was in 2015. The auction process was managed by J.P. Morgan and the proposed sales need to be reviewed and approved by the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission. Under the plan, Eversource’s three large fossil fuel plants and two remote combustion turbines will be sold to Granite Shore Power, a new equal partnership between Atlas Holdings and Castleton Commodities International, both of Connecticut, for $175 million. An additional nine hydroelectric plants will be sold to Hull Street Energy of Maryland for $83 million.

Suicide is the No. 2 cause of death among young people ages 10 to 34 in New Hampshire, and the state’s emergency departments are one of the first lines of defense in finding help for those in crisis. Ken Norton, the executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness New Hampshire (NAMI-NH), said prevention efforts make a big difference, and it’s a myth that if someone wants to end his life there isn’t anything that can be done to stop it. “The statistic that I like to focus on is that 90 percent of the people who attempt suicide don’t go on to die by suicide,” Norton said.

At Elliot, it’s additional details before seeing a physician, called PEP (Psychiatric Evaluation Program), according to Dr. Joe Guarnaccia, the medical and St. Hilaire said they staffed it with behav-

ioral health nurses about three years ago. Sheila Caron, spokesperson for St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua, said their emergency department has three rooms reserved for mental health patients awaiting inpatient care called the psychiatric holding area. According to Norton of NAMI-NH, Concord Hospital has a section of its emergency department called Yellow Pod, which is staffed by mental health clinicians from Riverbend Community Mental Health. Norton said demand for Yellow Pod far exceeds its capacity. “More people show up in the emergency room in Concord Hospital for mental health reasons than anywhere else in the state,” Norton said. He said about 40 percent of those patients are not from Concord’s catchment area, which could be due to Concord’s centralized location, it’s proximity to New Hampshire Hospital, the fact that it has a specialized mental health unit and a dearth of psychiatric services in smaller community hospitals in the region and the North Country. But what happens when someone comes to the ER for something else, like abdominal pains? Norton said it’s possible many of those folks, if they are also depressed or suicidal, will fall through the cracks.

Front lines

Norton said most people who consider suicide are actually ambivalent about dying, which means there’s an opportunity to prevent it. “A lot of times [potentially suicidal patients] don’t get asked questions about their mental health or they don’t get asked directly about suicide,” Norton said. Primary care offices are starting to do this more in their regular screening process, according to Norton. “Personally, this year, for the first time ever,

my primary care provider, as part of the routine screening that I went through, asked me about my mental health or if I had thoughts of suicide,” Norton said. This is part of a more recent push for mental health screenings and broader integration of mental health in primary care settings. The state Department of Health and Human Services is spending $150 million from a five-year federal grant to do just that across the state, Norton said. But emergency rooms might not be screening for mental health as uniformly as other clinics now do. Guarnaccia said the Elliot emergency department staff are trained to ask everyone a question related to domestic abuse, which he hopes may lead some patients to open up about thoughts of suicide. “During the triage process, the emergency department triage nurse is asking them, ‘Do you feel safe at home?’ That triggers a cascade of questions for the nurse if they say they don’t feel safe,” Guarnaccia said. CMC spokesperson Lauren Collins-Cline said suicidal thoughts and a history of suicide attempts are among the things providers screen for in the ER, but there isn’t a standard list of questions everybody gets asked. Still, Norton thinks every staff member in emergency departments, from receptionists to triage nurses and beyond, needs to be trained to detect the more subtle signs of suicide ideation. Some patients may not express these thoughts to a triage nurse who is, in theory, better trained to pick up on those cues, but they’ll drop a hint later with a lab technician who might brush off a comment as a joke.

Broad strategy

In the grand scheme of things, the state has been doing better at recognizing people in crisis, according to Mark Bodwell, the coordinator for emergency services at Manchester Mental Health. Over the past 25 years, he said, the state and country have made important steps in the right direction so that now more school staff and employers are able to pick up on the signs.

Norton said the first national strategy for suicide prevention came out around 2000 and was revised in 2012. The state came out with its own strategy in 2004, though he said it put very little funding toward prevention. The New Hampshire suicide death rate grew from 11.5 per 100,000 population in 2006 to 16.9 in 2015, according to the state 2017-2020 suicide prevention plan released last year. The numbers peaked in 2014, with 18.6 per 100,000. The causes for the increase are difficult to pin down, but Norton said some drug overdoses are counted as suicides by the medical examiner. Kim Fallon at the ME’s office said about 10 percent of the overdoses in 2016 were counted as suicides. Norton said it’s a real public health problem and there’s still a long ways to go toward fixing it. Goal No. 1 in the state plan is to build awareness of this public health problem and the fact that it is preventable. The state plan builds on the directions laid out in the national plan, and it promotes a key component to the 2012 plan, which is called Zero Suicide. According to the Zero Suicide website, it’s a programmatic approach “based on the realization that suicidal individuals often fall through the cracks in a sometimes fragmented and distracted health care system.” So it takes a system-wide approach to prevention, rather than working on an individual, caseby-case basis. Part of that is training medical staff. Norton said Exeter Hospital is hosting a Zero Suicide Academy on Nov. 29 and Nov. 30. Ultimately, Norton said, everyone has a role to play in preventing suicide. “Offering people hope is really key,” Norton said.

There’ll be no World Series for your Boston Red Sox this year after they were eliminated by Houston’s Astros in a pretty entertaining but ultimately disappointing Game 4 of the ALDS, an ending that had the Red Sox Nation chapter of the Fellowship of the Miserable blaming John Farrell for everything but Steve Bannon’s insurrection on the GOP establishment, even though he won 93 games and the AL East for a second straight year with a team that had no real replacement for David Ortiz, finished last in the American League in homers for the first time since 1930, had a gigantic hole at third base until late July, lost 40 percent of its rotation for most of the year and it was Craig Kimbrel, not him, who spit the bit in Game 4. I’ve got no great feeling either way for Farrell, but, even with all the quirks, that’s overcoming a lot of adversity in doing what no other Red Sox manager has ever done with those back-to-back AL East titles. But none of that mattered. He was thrown to the wolves by a PR-conscious ownership and GM who now is searching for the next human dartboard to sit in the corner office at Fenway. A few thoughts about what lies ahead: After Blaming the Manager Should the Pressure be on Dombo? Not really if you’re sane enough to know (a) Dave Dombrowski’s team has won 93 games both years under him, which was done this year with payroll restrictions brought on by the insane Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez contracts given by someone else, (b) they lost to better teams both times in the playoffs, (c) only the Giants have won as many World Series this century as they have after going 86 years without one, and (d) outside of the major Travis Shaw boo-boo, his trades for Kimbrel, Chris Sale, Drew Pomeranz and Eduardo Nunez all yielded excellent results. Even

stuck with him for two more years at $20 million per. (3) Xander Bogaerts to live up to the lofty expectations that most had for him as late as mid-season 2016. (4) Dumping Hanley Ramirez’s contract for a guy with a more consistent power bat and who actually wants to play. Who’s Tradable: Everyone but Kimbrel, Sale, Mookie Betts, Andrew Benintendi and Rafael Devers. Beware of What You Ask for: The search will be on for a power bat and big-time local pressure will be on to get the gargantuan Giancarlo Stanton. But as I said in August, there are red flags everywhere on him. Yes, he hit 59 homers in Miami, which might be 70 in Boston, but (1) Andrew Benintendi and Rafael Devers will likely have to go in any deal for him, (2) he’s never played in a place with the lunacy, ah, make that passion, level of Boston’s fans and its media, (3) he’s reportedly a Carl Crawford-type attitude risk, (4) in eight seasons he’s played as many as 145 games just three times, (5) his massive contract could impact how much can be spent on the roster for 11 years, which would mean, if through fitness, injuries or losing it early, a la Crawford or the Panda, it doesn’t work, they’ll never get rid of him, (6) it’ll give them two $30 million players already when Sale and Betts become free agents in 2020, and (7) they’ll be paying him the big money until he’s 38 — likely long past his prime. Tip to the Fellowship: Sometimes teams lose to ones that are better than them. As the Yankees are now finding out, with that top-tobottom line-up and outstanding starters at the top of the rotation, the Astros are better than the Red Sox. Bottom Line: This team needs tweaking and a return to form shown by the young core in 2016, not a massive overhaul. Though if Danny Ainge were GM all bets would be off on that.

Carson Smith looked sharp when he finally returned from Tommy John surgery in September. Unloading the Farm System: I keep hearing Dumbo has “gutted” the farm system, but there is a difference between giving up minorleaguers thought to be rising players and guys who actually turn into terrific players. Of the guys he traded only Michael Kopech (155 Ks and 77 hits allowed in 116 innings) and closer Logan Allen in A ball had impressive numbers this year. The great Yoan Moncada hit .233. Manual Margot had 39 RBI in 120 games as San Diego’s centerfielder. Plus, those two and the rest of the other guys traded were blocked for years at the major league level. Oh, and top pitching prospect Anderson Espinoza, who went for Drew Pomeranz, had Tommy John in July. That doesn’t look like they actually gave up that much for what they got back. The Next Manager: The push will be on to get someone with a successful track record, which may not be as important as you might think. Terry Francona got run out of the most mis-named city in the country with a 285-363 record after being called “Francoma” by the faithful in the, ahh, City of Brotherly Love. Joe Torre was a “why him?” choice when hired to manage the Yankees in 1996 after being fired by the Mets, Cardinals and Braves. Casey Stengel incredibly only had one winning year in eight seasons as a manager before taking over the Yanks in 1949 and he then won seven World Series and 10 pennants in 12 years. So the right fit is more essential than previous wins and losses because, like Casey with the Mets, managers are prisoners to the talent they have to send out there. Houston bench coach Alex Cora, who has never managed before but did play here for three-plus years, and Dartmouth grad Brad Ausmus are the two names most bandied about in the media. Biggest Needs: (1) A power bat. (2) Return to 2016 form of Rick Porcello, as they’re

Fellowship of the Miserable: Phrase coined by thin-skinned Rick Pitino during his salad days in Boston as locals discovered the emperor of Celtics Nation had no clothes. Applies to the sports crowd that always see the glass half empty rather than half full and ain’t afraid to negatively drone on about whatever ails them. Casey Stengel: Considered by some baseball’s greatest manager, though his own manager when he was a player, John McGraw, might not agree. He’s really a tale of two managerial careers. In 12 glorious Yankees seasons he went 1,149-696 with seven World Series wins and 10 pennants. In his 13 other managerial seasons with the Dodgers, (Boston) Braves and Mets he had just one winning season and was 756-1,146 — a .397 winning percentage. John McGraw: Tyrannical my-way-or-the-highway boss of the New York Giants — an ironic term, incidentally, since his reign began in 1902 before highways were even invented! Old-school, one-run-at-a-time skinflint who hated Babe Ruth for bringing homers to his game and whose partner in New York pool hall was shady Arnold Rothstein, the guy behind the fix in the Black Sox scandal. In total he won three World Series and 10 pennants in 30 years with the Giants. Carl Crawford: Whiney free agent import and baseball’s version of the Brinks Job after hitting .260 with 14 homers, 75 RBI and 23 steals in two Red Sox seasons. Hardly worth the still mystifying $137 million Theo Epstein lavished on him.

Explore a corn maze that’s challenging or creepy By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Nothing gets your blood pumping like getting yourself lost in a corn maze and trying to find your way out, and with several farms across southern New Hampshire offering either nighttime or daytime mazes for visitors of all ages, there is much to explore. One Halloween-themed corn maze is The Dark Crop at Lavoie’s Farm in Hollis, now in its eighth year. Co-creator and Halloween enthusiast Chad Zingales said the idea behind it was to create an event GROWN-UP FUN For Halloween fun at area bars and restaurants, check out the Nite section of next week’s Hippo for a complete listing of events. If you have information on plans for a boo-bash, email music@hippopress.com. HIPPO | OCTOBER 19 - 25, 2017 | PAGE 12

focused on scary costumed characters with props that you encounter as you make your way through. “There is an element that is inherently creepy about being outside in the middle of a field in pitch black darkness … that people really enjoy,” Zingales said. “Part of it also is getting the whole ambience of being outside in New Hampshire in the fall.” Once you enter, you never know what kinds of characters you may encounter, according to Zingales. “Our cast members come up with their own character designs, their own backstory for why they are in the cornfield, and they all even have their own way of talking,” he said. “It’s all based on stuff that you might see based along the lines of a creepy, demented zombie-esque farmland.” The Dark Crop can be appropriate for all ages, according to Zingales, but the actors are trained in helping people get out of the maze, as well as interacting in different ways with different age groups of children and teens.

“Obviously we don’t want anybody to have nightmares. We want them to have a good time,” he said. If you’d prefer to trek through a corn maze when you can see in front of you dur-

ing the day, there are others in the state that focus more on the challenge of getting out rather than a dark and scary experience. For Holly Kimball, creator of the corn mazes at Beech Hill Farm & Ice Cream

Barn in Hopkinton, part of the fun is coming up with new themes every year to keep the two four-acre corn mazes at the farm fresh. This year’s themes are “Camo’s Canine Challenge” which focuses on dog breeds, and “Canada 150,” a maple-leafshaped corn maze in honor of Canada’s 150th anniversary. “I think that corn mazes are right up there with apple-picking as becoming a part of a fall family tradition,” Kimball said. But they don’t have to be enjoyed only by families. Corn mazes are also great for school groups, Scout troops and even couples, from high school age to older adults. Local church groups have frequented the mazes in the past as part of their own kind of alternative Halloween activity, according to Kimball. “One of the things that makes our mazes popular with all ages is the brochure we provide with a scavenger-type activity for

each theme,” she said. “There are signs that we have … hidden throughout the mazes for people to find … and each provides an answer to one of the questions on the maze brochure.”

ALL KINDS OF CORN MAZES Beans & Greens Farm (245 Intervale Road, Gilford, 293-2853, beansandgreensfarm.com) has a daytime corn maze that includes scavenger hunts and family-friendly games, as well as a haunted nighttime corn maze on weekend nights.

The nighttime corn maze is open on Friday and Saturday from 8 to 10 p.m. and costs $10 per person ($8 for ages 9 and under).

The Dark Crop (Lavoie’s Farm, 172 Nartoff Road, Hollis, 465-3275, thedarkcrop. com) is a nighttime corn maze featuring several costumed characters that interact with visitors as they navigate their way through. Everything is themed along the lines of a zombie-esque demented farmland, according to co-creator Chad Zingales, with costumes and roles designed by the characters themselves.

If you want to be scared out of your socks but horror movies just aren’t doing it for you, New Hampshire’s haunted attractions may be the answer. John Tracey, the co-owner of Haunted Acres (446 Raymond Road, Candia, hauntedacres.com), said a number of significant changes have been made to the park. Haunted Acres is a series of five attractions centered around Area 52 and connected by a story about a top secret government facility overtaking a small New Hampshire hamlet. “We revamped several of the scenes in the different houses,” Tracey said. The Graveyard of the Damned — all that remains of a fictional New Hampshire town after the government wiped out its residents or performed ghastly experiments on a few of its denizens — has been expanded this year. New details have been added to the Quarter Mile Nightmare Walk through the woods, such as some special effects like lasers and spiders. And Tracey said they added some surprises out in the woods. He also remodeled the 3-D Nuclear Accident House and added a decontamination room. The Maze from Hell is different every year. Tracey said they also added roaming musicians and walk-around performers with LED lights. “We also have the only nighttime ziplines in New Hampshire,” Tracey said. Access to the ziplines is a $10 upgrade on the ticket price at the gate. There are also photo booths, two large bonfires and eating areas. Last year, Haunted Acres was ranked the No. 1 Halloween Event in New England by Boston Events Insider, according to Tracey. He said this year they’re in contention for the top stop again and they earned a five-star rating. Regular tickets are $29. Thursdays, there are “date night” specials where you can get two tickets for $42. A speed pass for skipping lines is $39. Credit card is only accepted for online purchases. Tickets at the gate are cash only. Check their Facebook page for specials and coupons. Saturday, Oct. 28, is a costume contest and Sunday, Oct. 29, is a lights out night.

Another haunted mainstay every Halloween is Spooky World presents Nightmare New England and The Haunted Hayride (454 Charles Bancroft Highway, Litchfield, nightmarenewengland.com), which is also undergoing a lot of improvements every year. This year, co-owner Michael Accomando said, they paid attention to small details. “We spent a lot of time this year working on individual scares,” Accomando said. He said The Colony attraction has a new ending and about half a dozen scares throughout. At one point, there’s an illusion that makes you feel like you’re walking through water, he said. This is also the first year the attractions, which are on the Mel’s Funway Park property, are transitioning from popup installations to permanent pavilions. That way, Accomando said, they can build upon it every year and make the experience far more realistic. The 3D Festival of Fear is built out of the same pavillion that was on the property last Halloween with some significant improvements, Accomando said. Some rooms were added, like a barrel maze and a U-shaped room meant to make you feel like you’re ending up right where you came from. “It’s amazing how easy the mind can be tricked with what we’re going to do,” Accomando said. Now that it’s set up permanently, a future buildout will create the illusion of multiple floors. The next permanent pavilion is for the Brigham Manor, a traditional haunted house. Next year, it will be completely reconstructed so it feels more like you’re inside a real house. For example, every room will have a ceiling, faucets will drip, furnaces will be hot, fridges will be cold and bathrooms will be, well, stinky. This year, Accomando said, they added a kitchen area with a walk-in freezer. And the pantry was redone with hydraulic pistons so it seems like a whole wall is about to fall on top of you. The Carnage attraction, which is a junkyard, has been expanded upon with a new garage and a maze of wooden pallets at least 10 feet high. Accomando said he also put some work into the ending. In the next three years or so, Accomando hopes to bring back a former attraction called Sleep Stalkers, set in an abandoned sleep clinic where night terrors have become real. Tickets are $39.99 for all five attractions including the Haunted Hayride on Fridays and Saturdays. Thursdays and

Leddy Center does Willy Wonka, founders retire By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

After 43 years of producing community theater shows, Leddy Center founders Elaine and Bruce Gatchell are retiring on a high note with their final fall production, Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka, opening Oct. 20. Based on the classic 1964 children’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, the musical tells of a poor boy, Charlie, and his Grandpa Joe, who win a coveted opportunity to tour the elusive chocolate factory run by the eccentric chocolate maker Willy Wonka. “When we finally decided to retire, we knew we wanted to exit standing up and wanted our final year to be as wonderful as every other year,” Elaine Gatchell said. “So we picked a big one — Willy Wonka, a crazy, fun show with a big cast and amazing music and so many creative things in it. We thought that would be a great way to go out.” The Leddy Center has produced a variation of the musical, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, several times before, most recently in 2009. This year’s production, however, will have a new special Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka When: Oct. 20 through Nov. 8, showtimes on Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m., and Wednesday, Nov. 1, at 2 p.m. Where: Leddy Center for the Performing Arts, 38C Ladds Lane, Epping Cost: $20 More info: leddycenter.org, 679-2781

effect: a real working “Wonkavator” that carries Charlie, Grandpa Joe and Willy Wonka through the roof of the factory in the dramatic final scene. To design and build the Wonkavator, the Gatchells recruited their friend Wayne Merrill, a retired mechanical engineer from Derry who had previously helped build the system that allowed actors to fly in the Leddy Center’s 2008 production of Peter Pan. “[The Gatchells] wanted to do something better with Willy Wonka, because the one they did before was much more limited, so they asked me to help them out,’” Merrill said. “I said, ‘Sure. Sounds like a fun job.’ I enjoy designing and building things. It was a fun project right from the beginning.” The Wonkavator is a self-contained unit on roller wheels and is made from a light

plywood material. It’s open at the top, with a platform that’s about 4x3 feet and a door on the front where the actors will step inside. It will lift the actors about six feet off the ground. To build it, Merrill modified a hydraulic engine hoist, like the ones used to lift an engine out of a car, with a powered electric pump so that the Wonkavator would ascend in a smooth continuous motion. It’s operated by the push of a button, which will be concealed behind the stage curtain during the scene. “It was a bit of a challenge designing it, but so far it’s looking really good,” Merrill said. “We see it in practices, but I’m very anxious to see the whole show — how this thing that I’ve worked on really appears in the show.” Willy Wonka will be the Leddy Center’s

second to last production; A Christmas Carol will follow as the theater’s final production in December. The Leddy Center started out as the Epping Community Church Players, holding its first show, Guys and Dolls, in July 1975 as a church fundraiser. Elaine Gatchell, who was the church choir director, continued to produce and direct one fundraising show per year until 1984, when the players were gifted permanent use of a performance space in the historic Leddy Brothers building on Main Street in downtown Epping. At that point, the Epping Community Church Players changed its name to the Leddy Center and began expanding its programming to include more shows, a concert series and performing arts classes and private lessons. In 2008, it moved to its current location, a 215-seat modern theater set on 93 acres of farmland along the Lamprey River in Epping. Since then, the Leddy Center has produced four shows a year, including Broadway classics like Annie, The Music Man and Fiddler on the Roof, and A Christmas Carol every December. “I had no idea when I started this that it would last 43 years, but every year it grew and grew,” Gatchell said. “It’s been a wonderful journey.” After retiring from the Leddy Center, Gatchell said she has plans to continue sharing her passion for theater in another way. “I personally would love to do some prison work and show people in the prisons how to develop a character, and hopefully enrich their lives,” she said. “That’s always been a desire of mine, and I’m hoping to work toward accomplishing that.”

Two art lovers have set out to invigorate downtown Manchester’s art scene with a new gallery that will feature the work of emerging contemporary artists. Kelley Stelling Contemporary, located at 221 Hanover St., opens with its inaugural exhibition “Pairings” on Thursday, Oct. 19. The gallery’s founders, Karina Kelley and Bill Stelling, became friends while serving on the Currier Museum Advisory Council. “Bill and I have been kicking the idea [of opening a gallery] around for quite a while,” Kelley said. “We were both looking to do something creative that used our abilities and brought something that Manchester was lacking, and we saw that there were no serious art galleries around here showing contemporary artwork.” The 1,300-square-foot space will display thought-provoking contemporary “art that pushes the envelope,” Kelley said, with a variety of 2D and 3D media represented. The “Pairings” exhibition will spotlight the work of six contemporary local and regional artists; Kelley and Stelling chose three artists and asked each of them to invite one additional artist to be featured alongside them. The collection will include pieces like needlepoint mugshots, paintings done on aluminum and copper canvases and tattoo art-inspired

illustrations. “A lot of galleries in this area cater to more traditional tastes, with landscape paintings and that kind of thing, but we’re showing art that’s a little edgier,” Stelling said. “Some of it might make people a little uncomfortable and make them wonder what the artist is trying to express.” On Thursday, Nov. 16, the gallery will unveil its second exhibition “Report from the Front,” featuring four artists — two from New Hampshire, one from New Orleans and one from New York — whose work possesses underlying meaning relevant to current world events. “We’re not getting into this as a New Hampshire or New England gallery, only showing [artists from] a selective geographic area or art with restricted subject matter,” Kelley said. “We want to have a range of where the artists are from and where they are in their careers, and a range of art and mediums and price points. It will be a breath of fresh air for people who collect art in New Hampshire.” Kelley and Stelling are having no difficulty finding artists to show in the gallery, Stelling said; they have formed numerous relationships with artists during their years of work in the arts community. Kelley, who holds a degree in fine arts and art history, has worked in arts marketing for over a decade, chairing the Currier Museum of Art’s 2017 Annual Fundraising Gala and serving as the vice president for the Kimball Jenkins School of Art’s board of directors and as a committee member for the New Hampshire Institute of Art’s Annual Gala. Stelling, who currently sits on the New Hampshire State Council for the Arts, founded Fun Gallery and directed 56 Bleecker NY gallery in New York City and most recently collaborated on ArtFront, a newly formed arts organization that hosts pop-up multimedia art shows in Manchester.

• Painting wildlife: Local artist Rosemary Conroy will host her 11th annual open studio (Poor Farm Road, Weare) on Saturday, Oct. 21, and Sunday, Oct. 22, from noon to 4 p.m. each day. Conroy will exhibit and sell paintings, reproductions and notecards featuring her contemporary wildlife art, including pieces depicting bears, whales and bobcats. “My artwork is how I thank wild creatures for being part of our world,” she said in a press release. “They inspire me and give me such joy; I want to honor them through my painting.” Conroy was recently named one of “Eleven NH Women Artists to Watch” by New Hampshire magazine and has been featured twice on NH Chronicle. Visit rosemaryconroyart.com. • Artists of Deerfield: The Deerfield Arts Tour returns on Saturday, Oct. 21, and Sunday, Oct. 22, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The free, self-guided tour will feature 21 artists and artisans in 16 studios in Deerfield. Artwork will include sculpture, photography, stained glass, fabric arts, wood carving, pottery, pastel, oil painting, pottery and more. There will also be several students from Deerfield Community School who will be showing their artwork at various studios along the tour.

Larger-than-life squirrels, bees, owls and bats will inhabit the Enchanted Forest at the McLane Audubon Center on Friday, Oct. 20, and Saturday, Oct. 21, to teach young wanderers about wildlife. Kids and their parents follow a pathway through the nature trails at the Susan N. McLane Audubon Center, stopping at five storytelling stations along the way. Each station has a different cast of characters waiting to tell their enchanted tales. The Enchanted Forest is an outof-the-box teaching opportunity for the development and community engagement manager, Ruth Smith, who writes the skits each year. Smith said the tradition was first held in 1987 and has been held most years since. “The best part of it, the most enchanting part, is that we have a trail through the woods. Just being out on the trail in the dark is kind of enchanting,” said Smith. The enchanted forest trail is a small part of the center’s larger Silk Farm Sanctuary trail system and is lined with jack-o’-lanterns that light the way through the five skit locations. Enchanted Forest Where: The Susan N. McLane Audubon Center, 84 Silk Farm Road, Concord When: Friday, Oct. 20, and Saturday, Oct. 21, from 5 to 8:45 p.m. Cost: $9.50 per person Visit: Preregistration required at nhaudubon.org

Each station has its own theme with a small story playing out that teaches kids a particular lesson about nature. “A lot of it is helping people understand the truth about nature. … Overcoming misconceptions is one of our goals,” said Smith. One common misconception is that bees are nuisance bugs that aren’t very important, Smith said, and one of her skits this year will deal with pollinators and how they help the environment. People’s interest in bees and other pollinators has recently increased because of reports of their declining population, according to Smith. “A lot of people are interested in what is happening with the bees theses days,” said Smith. The skits are interactive and the costumed actors get the audience involved. The characters are played by volunteers who act as supersized bees, bats, squirrels and other creatures. Smith said that teaching kids through story is more effective than teaching with a textbook because they never seem to forget the lesson. Being part of the story and experiencing the material being taught makes the information easier to retain for many kids, according to Smith. “I’ve had people 20 years later say, ‘Oh god, I remember that skit about the pumpkins,’” Smith said. Smith works with scientists and biologists at the center to develop engaging stories for the skits that teach kids about nature. One of her popular skits from last year was about the various flying animals of the forest. The skit featured larg-

er-than-life owls, bats and flying squirrel characters that all wanted to be considered animals of flight. “Who was the true flying animal?” said Smith. Plants also find their way into many of the skits and can be just as lively as their animal counterparts, Smith said. A new skit this year will tell the story of an invasive plant species that threatens the ecology of the area. Each skit lasts about five minutes and touring the whole enchanted forest trail takes about an hour. The McLane Center’s facilities will also be open during the enchanted forest trail walks. The center

has exhibits that feature live animals that are native to the Granite State and some that are visiting. The exhibits also aims to teach guests about the animals and why they are important to the area. Smith said the raptor mews exhibit will be open till dusk and guests will be able to see a bald eagle, a red-tailed hawk, a peregrine falcon, a screech owl and barred owls. Tours through the enchanted forest will run from 5 to 8:45 p.m. Earlier tours will be during the daylight hours for an even more relaxed option for younger kids. The event will also have face painting, games, raffle prizes and refreshments.

Growing garlic involves less work than anything else I grow. There really are only three steps: plant it, mulch it and harvest it. It’s also the least expensive, once you have an established bed of garlic. I will plant this year’s crop from last year’s crop, and that one I planted from the crop of the year before. You really only have to buy garlic once, as long as you save some each year for planting. There are basically just two kinds of garlic: soft neck garlic, which is what you probably get at your grocery store, and the stuff we grow here in the Northeast called hard neck garlic. Most soft neck garlic comes from California and keeps nearly forever. Hard neck garlic has a stiff stem in the middle of each bulb, and has a much more complex flavor (in my opinion). It will keep in a cool place until spring, but not much longer. Then it either sprouts or dries up. October is the time to plant garlic. If you don’t have any seed garlic, you might be able to get some at your farmers market. Don’t plant grocery store garlic, even if you can find hard neck garlic, because it is often treated so that it will not sprout. By now most catalogsellers of garlic have sold out. Take a bulb (or head) of garlic and separate it into the cloves that surround the hard “neck” or flower scape. Depending on the variety of garlic, you might have just five cloves, or as many as a dozen. I like big cloves, as they are easier to peel and use. So each year I select for big cloves and plant them. Over the years my crop has produced bigger bulbs and cloves. Garlic needs full sun (6 hours a day) and rich soil. I always add compost to my garlic bed and some organic bagged fertilizer. I rake soil from the walkways into a raised bed that is perhaps 30 inches wide and six inches higher than my walkways. Ideally, by adding compost, your soil will be rich and fluffy. To plant, I draw furrows about 8 inches apart with my CobraHead weeder, a singletined tool that is curved like a bent finger. I loosen the soil about 6 inches deep with it, then push cloves into the soil so that they are 3 inches apart and about 3 inches deep. Always plant them with the pointy end up. Afterward I pat the soil down with my hands. The last step is to mulch. I use mulch hay or straw and put almost a foot of fluffy material over the bed. Fall rains and winter snows will cause the hay to settle; I end up with about 4 to 6 inches of material in the spring. The mulch keeps the soil from freezing until January, allowing roots to get well established before the garlic cloves go dormant. It also prevents most weeds from germinating

and growing next year, though I weed the bed before planting. Garlic is tough stuff and will push right through my layer of mulch, though most weeds do not. Depending on the weather and when you plant, your garlic may send up green stalks this fall. Don’t fret if it does. Those sprouts will die back in winter, but the garlic will send up new ones in the spring. In early summer the scape, or flower stalk, will perform for you, “dancing” to create loops, swoops and circles of green. I use these in flower arrangements. Each scape produces a flower on top of the scape that will, if left, produce seeds. Those seeds are not useful for the average gardener, as they will not produce edible garlic for two years. But the stems and flowers are great for early summer stir fries. Garlic scapes are a taste treat. Next July the garlic you planted this year will be ready to harvest. Each bulb grows about seven long pointy leaves that also surround the cloves and protects them. When three or four leaves have turned brown and started to dry up, it’s time to harvest. If you wait too long, all the leaves will have dried up and the garlic will not store as well — it will dry out too soon. I’ve been told that after harvesting that garlic should be cured in a cool shady place for a week or two before you cut off the tops. Why? Because nutrients in the leaves — some of which are allegedly good for preventing cancer — will migrate to the bulbs and be absorbed. You can store garlic best in a cool, dry place, ideally 50 degrees with moderate humidity. I recently read an article produced at the University of California at Davis said you can freeze garlic instead of storing it at room temperature. Separate the cloves, but don’t peel them.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna,

Looking for affordable implants?

I inherited this beautiful red Shao Lao statue from my grandmother. The family legend is that it is cherry amber. It is a nearly flawless piece, 13 inches high and 4.5 inches wide. How can I tell if it is amber or a very beautiful fake?

Starting from $1999

Kim Dear Kim, I am not sure if what you have is real cherry (red amber) or not. But here is a way for you to test it at home to try to find out for yourself. Amber is a tree resin (fossilized) and comes in different shades — and possibly in colors similar to yours. The problem is they also make lots of plastic ones, and they are heavily sold here and overseas. So first you must determine whether it is amber or a plastic. You can do this by using a very hot needle and finding a spot that is not too visible to the eye on the statue. Then push the needle in and see if it goes in easily. (It shouldn’t if it’s real amber.) You will also smell a tree scent; if you don’t and the needle goes in easily you know it’s plastic. You will likely smell the plastic, if it’s what this is. Sometimes these can be made from copal, which is a selection of tree resins, but most that I have seen turn out to be plastic.

So take the test and let me know. If it is real amber it would be worth some money. If it’s plastic it would be worth less than $20. But it could really be a treasure.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

What could be causing acceleration before stopping? you’re stepping — very slightly — on the gas pedal. In other words, if the engine experiences a reduction in vacuum, that’s like adding more air. And when the airflow sensor reports that more air is coming in, the computer responds by sending in more gasoline. Idea No. 3, which I think is the most likely, is that all you’re experiencing is a downshift. As you slow down, the automatic transmission downshifts into its lower gears. And just before you come to a stop, it shifts from second gear into first. That sends the engine speed up a few hundred rpm, which is exactly what you’re reporting. I don’t remember that last downshift being noticeable on any of the Lexuses I’ve driven lately, so it could be that you need to go to the dealer and see if you can get a software update for the transmission. You can do a little bit of diagnosis on this yourself, Terry. If it’s the power-brake booster (Idea No. 2), you should be able to reproduce the problem while idling in park. So try that. If you can make the problem occur only when the car is actually moving and slowing down, then it’s more likely to be the transmission downshifting (Idea No. 3).

And if it’s neither of those, cut down on the salt, try a diuretic and see if you can fit back into your size 11s (Idea No. 1). Good luck, Terry. Dear Car Talk: My wonderful husband, Bill, 76 years young, is having some kind of old-car fetish crisis. While I am not jumping for joy about this, I am not totally opposed, either. My questions are more about safety and reliability. Here are the cars he’s looking at: a nice-looking, restored 1951 Willys Jeep Station Wagon with a Mustang engine, transmission and rear end; a 1972 Ford F-100 pickup with a V-8; a 1979 VW Bug convertible; a 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser. My question is: Which of these would be the safest/least dangerous? Thanks very much. He is a great fan of “Car Talk,” and will respect your answer. — Roi They always promise they’ll respect us after the answer, Roi. I’m going to lean toward the Land Cruiser. Your primary question is about safety, and I think the Land Cruiser, due to its size, weight and higher seating position, would be the least dangerous of the options you list.

Forget the ‘51 Willys. While it’s true that steering and brakes had been invented by the time they designed that vehicle, Willys didn’t make a wholehearted commitment to the technology. And forget the VW Bug. That car would be the underdog in a collision with a size13 cowboy boot. The ‘72 Ford pickup is fairly substantial, and I do like it for its simplicity. It’d be relatively easy to fix, and the cost of repairs wouldn’t wipe out your retirement savings every time you need brakes. But the Land Cruiser is a beast. And since your question was which one do I think would be the safest, I think the Land Cruiser has the edge. Even better, if he’d be willing to go as far as the Clinton administration era, he could get himself a Land Cruiser with an air bag (‘95 was the first year). Then he could crash all he wants. And while the Land Cruiser is expensive to repair, that might hasten the process of Bill getting sick of this whole old-car thing, and get him to go back to his 2009 Camry, which is safer than any of these heaps. Good luck to you and Bill, Roi. Visit Cartalk.com

Dear Car Talk: I just bought a used, 2010 Lexus GX 460 with 110,000 miles. It has an unusual problem: As I brake to approach stop signs and stoplights, the By Ray Magliozzi engine accelerates slightly. The engine speed will increase from 750 rpm to 1,100 rpm for a brief second or two as I come to a stop. After spending almost $200 to clean the throttle body (to no avail), I thought I should check with you and see what else to dig into. — Terry The next thing to dig into is your wallet, Terry. Because you’re a Lexus owner now. Actually, I have three ideas for you. I’ll give them to you in order of likelihood — least likely to most likely: Idea No. 1 is that your feet are swollen, and you’re accidentally scraping the gas pedal when you hit the brake. Look, I said I was going to start with the least likely idea. Idea No. 2 is that you have a failing power-brake booster. If there’s a vacuum leak in the booster, when you step on the brake, the drop in engine vacuum could fool the car’s computer into thinking that

• New Salvadoran option: California Burritos Mexican Grill (101 Factory St., Nashua, 718-8745, californiaburritosnh. com) recently announced the opening of a second location at 35 Lowell Road in Hudson on Oct. 11. The restaurants offer a Salvadoran cuisine with options to make your own burritos, bowls, tacos, quesadillas or salads. Customers are invited to choose from one of these entrees, and then choose a protein (chicken, steak, carnitas or vegetarian), a tortilla (flour or black bean), a salsa (medium, salsa verde, salsa roja, pico de gallo, pico mango or corn pico) and a filling (cilantro rice, black or pinto beans, guacamole or grilled onions and peppers). Additional ingredient options include jalapenos, romaine lettuce, cheese, sour cream, onions, green peppers and chipotle ranch dressing. If you’re having trouble deciding, consider one of their specialty menu options, like the carne asada fries, the pupusa, a traditional Salvadoran dish made of a corn tortilla with a side of salsa, or the Dos Equis fish tacos. Margaritas as well as a small selection of imported and domestic beers are also served. • Souper cause: Join Brookside Congregational Church (2013 Elm St., Manchester) on Sunday, Oct. 22, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for the 15th annual Empty Bowls fundraiser.

The success of Manchester’s first ever food truck festival, held earlier this year, has prompted a larger, fall-themed threeday event with more food trucks, a beer tent, live music and games. The inaugural New Hampshire Octoberfest will be held at McIntyre Ski Area on Friday, Oct. 20, Saturday, Oct. 21, and Sunday, Oct. 22. “There was such overwhelming positive feedback at the food truck event we had back in June, and everybody seemed to be asking, ‘When’s the next one going to be’?” event co-coordinator Loren Foxx said. “So the team at McIntyre sat down and thought about doing an Octoberfest event. … We had a good idea of what worked and what didn’t work out as well as it could have Courtesy photo. [from the first event].” Several food trucks that were big hits at the first event are returning to this one, like Road Hawg BBQ Swine Dining and the Puerto Rican Made with Love 603 truck, but many are attending McIntyre for the very first time to provide food and drinks in line with the season, according to Foxx, like Belgian Acres Farm offering apple crisp and hot apple cider. “We’ve also got some guys coming from Lake George, New York, called The Wurst House,” Foxx said. “Their claim to fame is authentic German food like schnitzel and bratwurst.” Other food trucks scheduled to attend are Mr. Twister Soft Pretzels, Mach’s Wood Fired Pizza, The Poutine Company and Dudley’s Concessions. Foxx said the idea was to include a variety of food offerings from each truck, allowing people to sample from different cuisines as they make their rounds. “No two food trucks are the same,” he said. “The goal was to get someone to be Photo by Carolyn Cote. able to pair one thing with another, like a Participating food trucks and soft pretzel with a beer. … [The trucks] vendors have slightly different circumstances on how they prepare the food too … and none Belgian Acres Farm of them are off the charts either, as far as Chef Koz’s Crescent City Kitchen price goes. You know, if you walk into a Chez Rafiki’s restaurant with a party of like four people, it Dudley’s Concessions can potentially get expensive fast. But here, Great North Aleworks Harpoon Brewery everybody’s trying something different.” Mach’s Wood Fired Pizza The strategy of a relatively simple menu Made With Love 603 allows for the trucks to easily identify what Mr. Twister Soft Pretzels works for their foods and what doesn’t, The Poutine Co. according to Foxx.

There will be Samuel Adams’ Octoberfest, Harpoon Brewery’s Flannel Friday IPA, Great North Aleworks’ Tie Dyed Ale, and others. “Harpoon is bringing their cider, and you’ve got to have cider at an event like this. It’s the right time of year for it,” Foxx said. A number of activities are scheduled throughout the weekend, like stein hoisting competitions on Saturday night, games of cornhole and spikeball, and a lineup of music acts. Dr. Harp Blues Revue performs on Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday’s performers include Clint LaPointe from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Joe Rivet from 2 to 4 p.m. and DC Blue from 5 to 8 p.m. On Sunday, the Chris White Band will perform from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. before the festival wraps up at 4 p.m.

Get a head start on Halloween celebrations at Fratello’s Italian Grille’s first annual Monster Mash, featuring spooky eats and creepy cocktails, on Thursday, Oct. 26, at its Manchester location. “The goal is basically to have one big Halloween-themed cocktail party with hors d’oeuvres … and fun named foods and drinks that will be presented in different ways,” said Samantha Limoges, catering director for Fratello’s and event organizer. Limoges said the entire Banquet Hall will be made up like a haunted house, with spider webs, pumpkins and other Halloween decorations. Chefs from Fratello’s will be showcasing live pumpkin-carving demonstrations, and there will also be carved pumpkins on display brought in from other restaurants, she said. A highlight for food during the Monster Mash will be a macaroni and cheese bar, as well as a sweet treat station with dipping apples, “shrunken head” apple cider and more. “Basically, guests can make up their own macaroni and cheese plate with different fillings,” Limoges said. “There’s also going to be a pumpkin bisque station and other fun appetizers. … We’re basically just kind of trying to elevate the interaction with our guests, as far as the stations go.” Other Halloween-appropriate eats you will find will be mummy franks (croissant rolled hot dogs), sausage “fingers,” meat “eye” balls, and spooky cookies. Drinks will include several different kinds of “concoctions” that will also stick to a creepy theme. “The goal is … to kind of make it an interesting color and fuming a little bit with some dry ice,” Limoges said. “One of the drinks, for example, is made with Bai-

Spirit of apples

Flag Hill unveils limited aged apple brandy By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

One of Flag Hill Distillery and Winery’s oldest micro-distilled products — an apple brandy that has been aging in barrels for 11 years — is finally making its debut at the distillery’s next release party, and you can be the among the first to taste it. The party, which will be held on Saturday, Oct. 28, will include multi-course meal options, live music, games and more. But the main highlight is the unveiling of Flag Hill’s newest offering, which is among the oldest micro-distilled apple brandies in the country, according to owner and distiller Brian Ferguson. The brandy, distilled from apples grown at Apple Hill Farm in Concord, is the next 11-year Apple Brandy Release Party When: Saturday, Oct. 28, 2 to 8 p.m. Where: Flag Hill Distillery & Winery, 297 N. River Road, Lee Cost: $49 per person (includes access to all food, games, and one bottle of the aged apple brandy) Visit: flaghill.com

installment in Flag Hill’s “Single Select” signature series. It’s also the first of the new Dusty Collection, named for the mature spirits that age over a number of years. Ferguson said the brandy is almost double the age of anything Flag Hill has ever put out before. “Because [the brandy] has sat around so long for the barrel to oxidize, it’s got a really nice deep caramel flavor,” Ferguson said. “There’s a compound that’s formed over a long period of time to create a type of acid that tastes very soft and gives this smooth, silky perception.” Only a small handful of people have tried the 105-proof brandy, according to Ferguson, but 230 bottles will be available during the release party — equivalent to how many tickets are being sold. The aging of spirits is different all across the world, Ferguson said, with a specific region’s climate having a huge impact on how it develops. “It’s a little bit of a game, because you can over-age something … [but] you want it to kind of be at its peak or close to its peak,” he said. “We didn’t know at first that it was going to be ready in 11 years, but you kind of

have an idea what you’re looking for.” While the main feature of the event is the release and tasting of the apple brandy, a number of other features are planned for the party. Flag Hill Chef James Costello will be holding a pig roast using farm-raised pigs, and there will also be fresh-pressed apple cider and cocktail stations, as well as an oyster bar beginning at 3 p.m. hosted by Little Bay Oysters in Newington. For other offerings, enjoy chipotle crab and corn dip, a popcorn bar, caprese skewers, shredded apple slaw and spicy pico, pit-roasted chicken, a cider donut bar, and a caramel apple bar featuring sliced apples with hot

bourbon caramel. “We’re also going to have games throughout the day … with significant prizes attached to them,” Ferguson said. “So there’s going to be a barrel-rolling competition, an apple pie competition and some other stuff that’s just kind of light and laid back.” The live music, featuring reggae and bluegrass artists like Beau Dalleo and Java Jukebox, will fit that mood as well. Ferguson said the distillery is working on future brandies to be introduced as part of the Dusty Collection series, including a 12-year brandy made from Niagara grapes he hopes will be ready by next spring.

Features the finest Italian Carnaroli rice and includes all flavors and seasonings for a delicious, savory dish.

Nick Provencher is the co-owner and executive chef of The Birch on Elm (931 Elm St., Manchester, 782-5365, thebirch.restaurant), which celebrated its first anniversary on Sept. 24 with a cocktail party. Provencher said he has been cooking since he was about 11 years old, later working at several restaurants on the Seacoast and then as the sous chef at The Foundry in Manchester. When future business partner Joel Soucy was hired as a bartender, Provencher said, the two clicked right away and decided to embark on a shared venture to open a smaller restaurant space focusing on small or medium sharable plates, or tapas. The Birch on Elm has four different rotating seasonal menus throughout the year, featuring homemade tapas, cocktails, desserts and gourmet pasta dishes prepared by Provencher himself.

FROM THE

pantry

Ideas from off the shelf

Vegan enchiladas My sister follows a strictly vegan diet, and my entire family’s diet has changed, if only slightly, because of it. Some of us have given up red meat; others have nixed eggs and dairy from their regular baking routines. While most substitutions and alternatives have been simple, others prove more difficult — like finding a recipe my vegan sister, vegetarian mom and carnivorous husband will all enjoy. So, when my mom and sister visited recently, I figured I’d make one meal for them and another for my husband and kids. But, as the day wore on, the heat wave we’d been having got to me and sucked away all motivation to spend extra time in the kitchen. Then, I came across this recipe for vegan enchiladas. Admittedly, this recipe is a bit more laborintensive than the ones I usually make, but most of that is peeling, dicing and sautéing the vegetables. Once the prep work is done, this recipe comes together pretty quickly. I started by making the enchilada sauce, which is good enough to be bottled and sold. The underlying notes of cumin and garlic Vegan Enchiladas Recipe courtesy of Oh She Glows For the enchiladas 2 cups peeled and chopped sweet potato 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium red onion, diced (2 to 2 1/2 cups) 3 large garlic cloves, minced 1 cup jarred roasted red pepper, drained and chopped 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped 2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped 1 (14-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed 2 1/2 cups enchilada sauce (1 batch) 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste 5 to 6 medium/large soft tortilla wraps Prepare enchilada sauce (this can be done the night before). Lightly grease rectangular baking dish and set aside. Add chopped sweet potato into a medium pot of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until fork tender. Drain and set aside. In large skillet, stir together oil, onion and garlic and sauté over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until onion softens. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add chopped roasted peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, cooked/ drained sweet potato, spinach and black beans. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat, until spinach is wilted. Stir in 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce, followed by lime juice,

complement the heat from the chili powder, and some extra salt pulls it together. The sauce is easy to make and worth the extra effort, plus it’s pantry-friendly, calling for only tomato paste and vegetable broth plus a blend of spices. The enchiladas also proved pretty pantryfriendly. I had most of the veggies on hand, and the ones I didn’t (namely the sun-dried tomatoes and roasted red peppers) will last a little while in the fridge for quick recipe additions in the future. While I was thrilled with the flavor of this dish, I found myself craving a little more texture. But by serving with salsa for dipping, my taste buds ended up very happy. However, the best part of this dish, by far, was that everyone at my table loved it — vegans and carnivores alike. For my fellow meat eaters, there is enough filling and flavor in these enchiladas that you won’t even notice it’s lacking meat. And, if you follow a vegan diet, these enchiladas are a great way to sway some carnivores over to the plantbased side. — Lauren Mifsud

chili powder, cumin and salt. Adjust seasonings to taste. Add approximately 3/4 cup of enchilada sauce to bottom of casserole dish and spread evenly. Scoop about 3/4 cup of filling onto each tortilla, roll up and place seam side down in casserole dish. Leftover filling can be spread over top of tortillas. Spread remaining enchilada sauce on top of the tortillas until covered. Bake the enchiladas, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, until sauce is a deep red color and enchiladas are heated through. Garnish with chopped cilantro, avocado, red pepper flakes and green onion as desired. For the enchilada sauce 2 tablespoons vegan butter or extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons flour 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon cumin 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 cup tomato paste 1 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth 1/2 teaspoon sea salt In medium pot, melt vegan butter over medium heat or add oil and increase heat to medium.

Years ago, when I first had a pumpkin beer in the fall — probably a Shipyard Pumpkinhead — the concept was revolutionary. The autumn-y flavor of pumpkin paired beautifully with rich, toasty malts and a milder hop character. Something happened, though. Beer drinkers’ tastes changed or brewers started going overboard with the pumpkin — maybe both. The fall-time proliferation of pumpkin-flavored everything probably didn’t help, nor does the fact that you can get pumpkin-flavored beers in August nowadays. (It’s too soon and you know it.) The uniqueness of pumpkin and beer has been lost. Now, it’s ubiquitous in the fall and downright controversial at times. Beer drinkers can get up in arms about pumpkin beer: “Don’t even think about putting cinnamon and sugar on the rim of my glass.” Brewers have strong opinions too: White Birch Brewing suggests drinkers “say no to pumpkin beers” on its website, while Henniker Brewing Co. states, simply, that “pumpkin beers are gross,” on the label write-up for its own fall seasonal offering. But none of this means all pumpkin beer is bad. (Some of it is.) I like pumpkin beers, I think, but I definitely do not like all pumpkin beers. Frankly, it can be challenging to find good pumpkin beer. Take India pale ales (IPA). When was the last time you had a bad IPA, as in you didn’t even want to finish it? It’s probably happened but you can probably count the instances with two fingers. Now, when was the last time you had a bad pumpkin beer? Was it yesterday? I’m going to lean way out on a limb and say there’s at least a 50-percent chance you didn’t like the last pumpkin beer you tried. If this doesn’t exactly sound like a ringing endorsement for the style, that’s because for every pumpkin beer I truly enjoy, there are probably three others I could do without. And my sense is many a craft beer drinker feels the same way. What’s in My Fridge

Samuel Adams 20 Pounds of Pumpkin: You know what, Samuel Adams makes far too many beers. It’s overwhelming. But that doesn’t mean they don’t make good beer. The pumpkin flavor in this brew is not exactly subtle, but it’s definitely not overbearing. This is what a pumpkin ale should be: crisp, pumpkiny, malty and with notes of spice, caramel and nutmeg, but not sticky sweet. A nice seasonal change of pace for your palate.

Pumpkin beers can be a subtly sweet change of pace in the fall. Pictured here, Able Ebenezer’s Homecoming pumpkin brew. Photo courtesy Able Ebenezer.

Far too many pumpkin beers are overly sweet and overly pumpkiny. I want to taste a beer with the subtle, nuanced infusion of pumpkin but without the pumpkin flavor — often more like pumpkin pie spice — taking over the brew. Many of the pumpkin-infused offerings taste artificial. I’ve found that darker beers, like porters, can be the perfect brew style in which to infuse that pumpkin flavor. In my perfect vision of a pumpkin porter, the rich malt is the main attraction with the pumpkin flavor lending a touch of sweetness, spice and complexity to the brew. That said, I’ve had too many pumpkin porters that taste like pumpkin syrup. So what do you do? Do you give up and write off pumpkin beers as a style? You could. Or you could accept that as a style it’s kind of a crapshoot. That means there are some good ones out there. My recommendation would be to take advantage of craft beer stores’ “mix and match” policies—make a pumpkin beer sixpack and sample your way through. I bet you’ll enjoy half of them. You’re welcome. Here are four New Hampshire-made pumpkin beers for your taste buds’ consideration: Pumpkin Ale by Smuttynose Brewing Co. (Portsmouth) - Lighter-bodied with real pumpkin flavor. Pumpkinweizen by Martha’s Exchange Restaurant & Brewing Co. (Nashua) - This is an intriguing brew—a creamy German wheat beer with roasted pumpkin. Grumpy Pumpkin Ale by Stark Brewing Co. (Manchester) - Big pumpkin flavor up front balanced with nutmeg, brown sugar and vanilla. Homecoming by Able Ebenezer Brewing Co. (Merrimack) - Pumpkin hits the main stage here, as brewers pushed the pumpkin flavor forward and pulled back on the cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.

Another self-released deal from a spikey garage-slash-dreampop band, this time from L.A., and baked in the sort of vibe one associates with movies like Wild at Heart. There’s a pure 1960s element present that’s one reason you can’t write this off as a femalefronted Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, but it’s also got the nice nasty guitar that keeps its 1990s chromosomes from nicking Garbage too much. Out of all the above word-fricassee, though, you want to walk away with a David Lynch impression, mostly due to the workaday songwriting and leather-jacket vocals of frontperson Kate Clover, a low-rent substitute for Kills’ Alison Mosshart in her best moments, specifically “Come Alive,” a mid-tempo fright-wig go-go-boot that doesn’t check Batgirl as its goddess but doesn’t need to. Yes, that’d be the best place for these tunes, a Lynch-directed remake of Batgirl, with everything shot through blue goop and infused with just the right amount of hopelessness (this is the most positive spin I can put on this, I swear).

Timely for Halloween, the third album from the Seattle-based doommetal scamps consist of one song, the title track, clocking in at 83 minutes. If that’s not weird enough, the band is a duo, comprising Dylan Desmond on bass and vocals and drummer/organist/singer Jesse Shreibman. Going for it with one hour-long tune tells you two things: one, they’re pretty brave not to offer up anything that’d fit on any sort of radio format, and two, this has to be a one-session freestyle jam (right?). But even if the latter’s the case, and they were just killing time waiting for an 18-pound turkey to cook, this at least stands as a monument to the power of duo-hood — you know they were giving each other bombastic head-nod cues, which was all they needed to keep this sounding as tight as Topographic Oceans-era Yes on downer drugs. The engineer for Swans and Neurosis watched over this, and aside from some serious beast-monster shrieking and some sort of Dracula chanting that’s what it is: long guitar ringouts, galactic despair, etc. B — Eric W. Saeger

• The bottom of our Oct. 20 list of new releases is held up by Virginian cartoon-monster-metal band Gwar, but I’m moving it to the top, because come on, it’s Gwar, that quartet-or-whatever group of guys dressed up like a cross between “God of Thunder”era Gene Simmons and the giant Japanese turtle monster Gamera. Yeah, I could have easily missed the news about their 14th album, The Blood Of Gods, since it was printed in the font that means “who cares, there’s this stuff too” in my Super Secret Professional Newsfeed for Music Critics, in other words Metacritic.com. Whatever, you don’t care about that, let’s go listen to something on this new album. Wow, that was quick. I can’t print the name of the song here, and it sounds like Gwar always does, in other words like Danzig with an extra helping of brain damage. • Here’s one for you people who like it when your cat walks very slowly over that Casio music keyboard your grandmother bought you and accidentally plays some good notes here and there. For decades, famous movie director John Carpenter enjoyed adding an extra layer of terror to his monster movies, and that terror was known to everyone as “John Carpenter playing music in the background!” Yes, he was the one playing the cheesy Casio keyboard in The Thing and They Live and Halloween too, I think, and if it wasn’t him it was someone with the same keyboard cat. Seek it out though, by all means, this new album called Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998. Perfect for Halloween parties, until someone demands the crunk. • Esmerine is a Montreal-based chamber-pop band featuring Bruce Cawdron (percussionist for Godpseed You Black Emperor) and Rebecca Foon (the cellist from Thee Silver Mt. Zion). Mechanics Of Dominio, their fifth full-length, is heading your way on the 20th, and unfortunately there are no advance singles, but that’s kind of fitting, as their stuff is pretty intricate and intricately pretty, so just be assured it will be awesome and go from there. • Darius Rucker always seems to put out an album during weeks when there’s not much else to talk about, so you and I shall now discuss When Was The Last Time, because otherwise I’d have to go find a Finnish demon-metal band to talk about, and no one wants that. My professional tip for reviewing Darius Rucker CDs involves playing a game called “Tell Me When the Song Sounds Like an Old Hootie and the Blowfish Hit, Since He Ran out of Ideas 15 Years ago.” Let’s play right now, with the new single “For the First Time (Top of the Tower)!” Wow, this doesn’t even sound like Hootie, it’s like something John Mayer would have written and then promptly thrown in the rubbish. How the has-beens have fallen, hah? — Eric W. Saeger

Local poet Midge Goldberg talks poetry and spirituality

Buffalo Chicken Wraps • Wild Boar Tacos Pulled Pork Nachos • Homemade Desserts & Much More

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Seventeen years ago Chester poet and author Midge Goldberg took a creative writing class to learn how to write short stories, but something happened during the class that she didn’t expect. “We got to the poetry module and I fell in love with it,” she said. “I never ended up writing any short stories. I started writing poetry and have been writing it ever since.” Goldberg went on to publish two books of poetry: Flume Ride, released in 2006, and Snowman’s Code, officially released in 2016. The latter was awarded the 2015 Richard Wilbur Poetry Award and the 2016 New Hampshire Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award for Outstanding Book of Poetry. On Thursday, Oct. 26, Goldberg will speak at the Etz Hayim Synagogue on “Talking to God Through Poetry” as the first program in the synagogue’s “Hot Topics, Cool Stuff” free continuing education series happening this fall and winter. Goldberg said that her Jewish heritage often inspires her writing, and a number of her poems are based on Jewish prayers or include a dialogue with God or simply her reflections on God and religion. In her poem “Snowman’s Code,” she writes of a big snowman talking to a little snowman, advising him not to be jealous of other snow creations like snow angels, but to be grateful for the hands that formed him in that place and at that time. “The idea comes from this Jewish prayer which says that, at any given moment, be happy you’re here and alive,” Goldberg said. “My hope is that the idea transcends one religion. My take on it just happens to come from my Jewish background.” At the synagogue program, Goldberg will talk about how poetry and prayer relate to each other and how poetry can be used as a means of exploring spirituality. “Traditional prayers are very official; you follow what someone else tells you to say. Then there are things that, if you talk to God or think about spirituality, you say to God when you’re alone. Poetry is kind of in the middle of those two things,” she said. “It’s one individual’s thoughts that mean something to them, but it’s also shared so that others can take something away from it.” Other themes found in Goldberg’s poetry include growing up in Florida, the transition from Florida to New Hampshire; traveling

and the United States landscape; family, children and motherhood; love; time travel; day-in-the-life moments and ordinary objects. She also writes poems inspired by specific people, places and stories she hears, and poems narrated in the voice of other real or imagined persons. “Pretty much anywhere and anyone can end up in a poem of mine, so you better look out,” Goldberg joked. Most recently, her series of poems titled “The Fire Tender” was featured in Mezzo Cammin, a web journal dedicated to formal poetry written by women. The series includes five poems, each written from the perspective of a worker at an inn: the fire tender, the florist, the bartender, the baker and the piano player. “Sometimes I like to step outside myself,” Goldberg said. “I like to pretend that I’m someone else in my poetry.” Goldberg is currently putting together a collection of poems for another anthology book — she’s about halfway done, she said — and a series of around eight poems to be published in a magazine dedicated to humorous poetry next summer. She is also looking to have her new mystery novel, The Northern Pass, published. The novel is set in the Franconia area of New Hampshire and features a protagonist inspired by a waitress Goldberg once encountered and wrote a poem about. “I started imagining her whole life story in this poem,” she said. “But even after I wrote the poem, she stayed in mind, so I decided to make her the main character in my mystery story.”

The TB12 Method, by Tom Brady (Simon and Schuster, 306 pages) Tom Brady’s new book is a 3-pound infomercial unworthy of his brand, the embodiment of what happens when people who know better can’t bring themselves to tell an emperor that he’s not wearing any clothes. It’s as if Tiger Beat magazine devoted an issue to the celebrated Patriots quarterback, and, as a special gift for subscribers, weighted it so the magazine could be used for bicep curls. Here we see Brady, in unnerving high-definition glossy photographs, gazing affectionately at a football, his forearms and his body coach. For those of us who just admire the guy but don’t necessarily want to kiss his pictures and tape them over our beds, the book is vaguely unnerving, just like the mutual-admiration-society of Brady and his controversial guru Alex Guerrero. But those sins are venial. The mortal one is that there is useful information in The TB12 Method, if you strip away the filler, repetition and clichés. Let me condense it for you: Your muscles are too tight. You need to deeply massage them daily, and it’s better if you have a partner to do this while you contract them. Stroking every muscle of your body with barely tolerable force — always toward your heart — will improve your blood flow and make you pliable, which is the key to staying flexible and mobile as you age, all the more so if you are an NFL quarterback in your 40s. Probably half of what constitutes your workout now is unnecessary. Linemen don’t need the same routines as wide receivers. Also, to quote a memorable title of an unrelated book that didn’t get a fraction of the attention this one will: “You’re not sick, you’re thirsty.” You need to be drinking more water, half of your body weight in ounces. That’s the all-important core of this book, and had these themes been competently developed, in a format that doesn’t make you worry about carpal tunnel syndrome when you’re struggling to hold it (all the while, hiding the fangirl cover from anyone looking at you on the train), it would have worked. The incessant product placement, however, is simply embarrassing. The constant shilling of TB12 products, from brain exercises to nutritional supplements to sleepwear, makes Brady look more shyster than legend. Even when he’s not actively selling a TB12 product, he seems like he’s selling, as when he expounds on the importance of a good mattress. (It’s not been so long since he was on TV hawking a $2,000 Beautyrest mattress said to have diamond particles inside.) Consider, in a chapter on nutrition, Brady’s chart detailing an average day of eating and working out. At 11 a.m., he tells us, “If I feel the urge, before lunch I’ll have some TB12 Snacks,

which are raw, vegan, organic, gluten-free, and dairy-free.” Like, say, an apple? Well, no. TB12 Snacks, as sold on the TB12 website, come in small pouches, with names like Superfood Energy Squares and Amazon Crunch. You get 12 little pouches for $50. The TB12 method as a protocol for athletes seems both revolutionary and simple, and almost everyone can benefit from some of the advice Brady puts forth through the pen of his “writing collaborator” Peter Smith. But The TB12 Method as a book deflates Brady. Nobody expects someone at his level to write his own book, but we do expect someone, somewhere, to say, at some point: Wait a minute. Does this book make the GOAT not seem very bright? Do these photos not seem a tad bit cheesy? Do we really want this truly remarkable human being to be codified in print saying things such as, “Vegetables are high in nutrients, fiber, and enzymes. I try to eat as many as I can at every meal” and “Sleep has several stages, but the ones that we pass through every night are light sleep and deep sleep”? Your fourth-grader’s science book is probably more complex. Others can explore the credibility of Brady’s claim that staying hydrated keeps him from getting sunburned, or the science behind Brady’s “bioceramic-infused” pajamas, which he says gives him an edge on his opponents even while he’s sleeping. They could be the greatest thing ever; then again, placebos happen. Brady, who seems like a genuinely nice guy, dreams of establishing TB12 Sports Therapy Centers around the world and earnestly urges us to follow his advice so that we can live “without tension or rigidity but with readiness, openness and receptivity.” One Boston sports medicine doctor who likes Brady has criticized the book for advancing methods that have not been scientifically tested. The GOAT is basically an “experiment of one,” as the late running guru Dr. George Sheehan liked to say, even though the book concludes with testimonials from 16 people who say they’ve been transformed at the TB12 facility in Foxborough, Mass. But take a look at the average person shuffling down a public street — bent over, stiff, uncomfortable in their own bodies — or listen to your own creaky joints when you lurch out of bed, and Guerrero’s techniques, now manifest in Brady, make sense. Brady sees his post-Patriots life (let it not be anytime soon) as something of a public health crusade — good will toward men, pliability for all. Would that it not come in a trademarked TB12 box. At what point will he be able to say, “I’ve made enough money”? D — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Happy Death Day (PG-13)

A sorority sister lives the last day of her life over and over in Happy Death Day, a surprisingly fun, frequently funny horror movie.

After a night of partying, Tree (Jessica Rothe) wakes up in the dorm room of Carter (Israel Broussard), a guy she seems “meh” toward. She ignores a birthday call from her dad and returns to her sorority house, exchanging snippiness with the sorority head and with her roommate, Lori (Ruby Modine), before going to a class taught by Gregory (Charles Aitken), a professor with whom she is having an affair. She moves through her day, continuing to ignore her dad, and prepares for a party that evening. She walks to the party alone and, on the way, has a run-in with a hoodie-and-babymask-wearing creep who murders her. Then, she wakes up. Again, she is in Carter’s room. Again, she ignores her father’s calls. Again she is uninterested in her roommate’s birthday wishes. Again with Gregory the sleazy professor, again with the party dress, again with a hoodie-and-baby-mask creep, again with the murder. And then she wakes up again. As the days — or at least that one day — unfold over and over, some things stay the same (the events she witnesses as she leaves Carter’s room) and some things are different (once, she tries boarding herself in her room) but every day ends with her death. And everyone other than Tree isn’t aware of this daily reset. At one point, she talks to Carter about her situation. He doesn’t entirely believe her but he suggests using her “lives” to run through a list of suspects (it is a long list). She crosses off the dictatorial sorority leader and a stalky boy she dated once but soon all the dying starts to take a physical toll. This movie has fun with its concept. The first few runs of Tree’s birthday day giddily pile up the suspects, with the movie dropping hints and red herrings and then gleefully discounting them or moving them up on the list. Also fun: Happy Death Day doesn’t appear to hate its female lead or women in general. It is refreshing to watch a horror movie (or, heck, any movie, a-hem, Blade Runner 2049 and It, to pick two movies off the current box office top 10) that doesn’t seem to take particular delight in the suffering of its female characters or treat them as disposable. Sure, Tree suffers, but the movie doesn’t lasciviously wallow in her murders and it puts us in the audience in the pit with her as she, from the beginning, tries to take control of the situation. And I feel like at the edges it says interesting things about predatory male authority figures, frat-bro attitudes toward women, sexual agency and grief. And it has a sense

HIPPO | OCTOBER 19 - 25, 2017 | PAGE 50

Happy Death Day

of humor. Despite the premise and the masked murderer, I feel like Happy Death Day is more action-comedy than horror. It has a lighter, bouncier energy and had me rooting for Tree more as I would an action figure than as a horror heroine just reacting to scares. Though it’s an obvious comparison: if you liked Edge of Tomorrow, this is very much in that vein, not just in the Groundhog Daylike reliving of one day followed by a reset but in how the character stuck in the loop seeks to use it to accomplish a goal. Rothe’s Tree is a wonderfully imperfect heroine, the right mix of superficially shallow but actually smart and layered. There’s a very “early Buffy” quality to Tree, as in the Buffy of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie and first two-ish seasons of the TV show. Rothe makes the blend of action, comedy and a well-played, drama-y subplot work together in a way that makes the character believable as a regular person with regular person responses to her strange situation. B+ Rated PG-13 for violence/terror, crude sexual content, language, some drug material and partial nudity. Directed by Christopher Landon with a screenplay by Scott Lobdell, Happy Death Day is an hour and 36 minutes long and distributed by Universal Pictures.

The Foreigner (R)

A London restaurant owner rains down vengeance on the men who caused his daughter’s death in The Foreigner, a muddled Taken-ish action movie starring Jackie Chan.

Quan Ngoc Minh (Chan), single dad and restaurant owner, is taking his teenage daughter Fan (Katie Leung) shopping. She goes inside a store while he parks the car, meaning they are separated when an explosion hits the busy London street. He finds her in the shop but it’s too late and she is one of several people killed in the bombing

by a group calling itself the Authentic IRA. The British government, as personified by minister of somethingorother Katherine Davies (Lia Williams), wants answers and demands that Northern Ireland deputy minister somethingorother Liam Hennessy (Pierce Brosnan) find out who is behind the bombing before drastic, peace-endangering methods are called for. Hennessy says he’s on it and suggests some concessions the British government could make to help matters along. Hennessy, a former IRA member who is now a politician, meets with his longtime political allies. Younger members of the united-Ireland movement are, we’re told, less inspired by the idea of peace at any cost. And meanwhile, we see a young-ish looking group of guys building and planting additional explosives in London. Hennessy has to negotiate not only these intra-party difficulties but also some intra-family troubles between him and his wife Mary (Orla Brady). She is unimpressed with Hennessy’s fading influence and with what we suspect she senses about his affair with a woman named Maggie (Charlie Murphy). If you are thinking “hey, wait, didn’t you say something about Jackie Chan? Where’s the kicky-punchy Jackie Chan action discussion?” you’ve hit on one of the movie’s problems. Intercut with the whole terrorism/ British response/Northern Ireland politics plot is Quan and his relentless desire to get revenge on the men who killed his daughter. He tries going to the police to find out the names of the suspects and then to Hennessy to get the names. When Hennessy refuses to help, Quan bombs the bathroom of Hennessy’s office. Hennessy and his security staff realize that Quan, who they had kind of brushed off, isn’t messing around. These two plots — Quan’s search for revenge, Hennessy’s navigation of the bombing situation both from the perspective of managing the British and managing the more militant voices on his side — are

not seamlessly stitched together. The Foreigner feels like an unassembled piece of furniture that came with an extra table leg and not enough dowels. The movie can never seem to put all of its parts together into one coherent idea. There is too much Hennessy for this movie about Quan or maybe not enough meat to the Hennessy story to justify not using Chan as much as, say, the trailer for this movie suggests. When Chan is on screen, he’s pretty great. Perhaps not great in the “great actor” sense but definitely “pretty great” in the sense that “it is pretty great to watch 63-year-old Jackie Chan fight three tough guys at once.” If action movies as a genre have room for one more Liam Neeson-ish, regular-seeming-guy-surprising-peoplewith-innovative-violence-type, I am totally on board with Jackie Chan being that guy. The Foreigner has some interesting ideas, as a thriller, and some solid seriousaction parts, but it is weighed down by too much excess plot that possibly is meant to elevate the movie but really just gets in the way of the Jackie Chan action that is the movie’s only real source of energy. C Rated R for violence, language and sexual material. Directed by Martin Campbell with a screenplay by David Marconi (based on a novel by Stephen Leather), The Foreigner is an hour and 54 minutes long and distributed by STX Films.

Marshall (PG-13)

Meet the Supreme Court justice as a young civil rights legal warrior in Marshall, a look at an early case worked on by Thurgood Marshall.

In 1941 Connecticut, African-American chauffeur Joseph Spell (Sterling K. Brown) is accused of raping and kidnapping Eleanor Strubing (Kate Hudson), the rich wife of his rich employer John Strubing (Jeremy Lowell Bobb). Spell insists he’s innocent of the crime. The NAACP sends hot-shot lawyer Thurgood Marshall (Chadwick Boseman) to represent Spell as part of the group’s campaign of representing African-Americans accused of a crime for reasons related to race. The group believes that not only is it nearly impossible for Spell to get a fair trial but also that the sensational media coverage of his case is hurting other African-Americans in Connecticut, many of whom are losing jobs out of their white employers’ fear. Sam Friedman (Josh Gad), a lawyer with a reputation for helping insurance companies find loopholes to deny claims, finds himself pulled into the case by his brother Irwin (John Magaro). Initially he’s just meant to get out-of-state lawyer Marshall approved to act as counsel for Spell, but after the judge (James Cromwell) denies that request Friedman finds himself act-

ing as the sole defense attorney allowed to speak in court, with Marshall allowed only to sit in and advise. Thurgood Marshall should have a biopic, several biopics actually, and there is plenty of material to choose from — Brown v. Board of Education, Marshall generally as an NAACP lawyer, Marshall on the Supreme Court. But this movie needs some work. There is a school pageant feel to some of the proceedings — a scene where the Marshalls hang out with Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes, someone yelling out “separate but equal” as Marshall gives a statement on the courthouse steps, a revelation that comes to Marshall because a woman at a bar says to him “men are men and women are women.” A lot of general facts about Marshall — that he and his wife are having a hard time having a child, that he’s a have-briefcase-will-travel kind of lawyer, that the NAACP only takes cases of people it believes are innocent — are just sort of chucked into the story. You get the sense that Marshall is a powerful speaker, good at crafting a message and firmly confident in his abilities. But these things are viewed from the outside, often through AMC Tyngsboro 440 Middlesex St., Tyngsborough, Mass., 978-649-4158.

the window of Friedman, who becomes an audience surrogate, slowly joining Team Thurgood. It reminded me of 42 (which Boseman also starred in), the Jackie Robinson movie where Jackie Robinson often felt like a character viewed through the eyes and experiences of others. Here, Friedman seems like a good guy and an interesting historical figure but it’s weird to have him feel like the point-of-view character for a movie called Marshall. (This movie also suffers from some serious bad luck in terms of timing: I get what Marshall is explaining about racial politics of 1940s America and that movie-makers don’t know what cauldron of real-world horribleness will be bubbling over on their film’s release date. But watching a movie at this particular moment that puts us on the side of the lawyers digging into the motivations of a woman accusing a man of rape and having them confront her over whether she had consensual sex that she’s now covering up feels, well, ick.) All that said, this might not be a great Thurgood Marshall movie but it was a Thurgood Marshall movie, which is welcome. And it had some decent perforCinemagic Merrimack 12 11 Executive Park Dr., Merrimack, 423-0240, cinemagicmovies.com Flagship Cinemas Derry 10 Ashleigh Dr., Derry, 437-8800 AMC at The Loop 90 Pleasant Valley St., Methuen, Mass., 978-7388942

mances: Boseman does as much with the material he’s given as anyone could. I wish there were more opportunity for Boseman to dig into the emotional layers of this hugely historically important man. Gad, for all that some odd choices are made with his character, also does a good job. The movie is at its best when it becomes a legal procedural with Boseman and Gad playing off each other. After I saw this movie, I went searching for some Thurgood Marshall-related books to add to my reading list — and I do think that leaving an audience wanting to know more about the man and his whole career is something the movie can count as a success. Marshall isn’t the great legal drama or textured look at a moment in history that I’d hoped for but I’ll count it as an above average start if it means we can have more, please. BRated PG-13 for mature thematic content, sexuality, violence and some strong language. Directed by Reginald Hudlin with a screenplay by Jacob Koskoff and Michael Koskoff, Marshall is an hour and 58 minutes long and distributed by Open Road Films.

Area musicians mourn Tom Petty

By Michael Witthaus

By Michael Witthaus

• Get ready: Wear a costume and learn some steps at the 603 Salsa and Bachata Halloween Social, which offers a chance to learn the choreography to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” dance ($5), take a salsa lesson ($10, with social dancing) and compete for prizes at a BYOB event in a Mill District dance studio. Social dancing starts after the early lesson segments. Go Friday, Oct. 20, 6:30 p.m., Bella Vita Dance Studio, 250 Commercial St., Suite 4019, Manchester. See facebook.com/ BellaVitaDanceStudio. • Revival: After delighting audiences in the early ’00s, The Mammals gave way to other projects, primarily Mike + Ruthy, the duo of Michael Merenda and Ruth Ungar. The group is freshly reunited and playing a local show or two. Back in the day, No Depression said, “The Mammals aren’t the first band to mix an indie-rock sensibility with bluegrass sounds, but they’re gradually becoming one of the best.” Go Friday, Oct. 20, 7:30 p.m., Bass Hall, 19 Grove St., Peterborough. Tickets $25 at pfmsconcerts.org. • Northern song: With a soothing new EP, Steven Chagnon performs for the drink-and-dinner crowd. The six-song collection, Stranger from the North, will satisfy fans of Ray Lamontagne and Jack Johnson. From the New Hampshire-centric title track to the eerie longing of “Graveyards,” it’s a solid effort from the Concord-based singer-songwriter. Go Saturday, Oct. 21, 8 p.m., Alan’s of Boscawen, 133 N. Main St., Boscawen. Listen at soundcloud.com/ steven-chagnon.

cord native Warren Zanes. The show was in support of 1987’s Let Me Up (I’ve Had Enough), a record that resonated with the then 17-year-old. “It hit every chord of emotion I was going through,” he said. “Jammin’ Me” in particular put steel in my back, because I was an upper middle class suburban kid who wanted to get away from all the country club mentality I lived in — it spoke to me.” Azevedo discovered Petty in his early teens, riding the train into Boston to score a copy of Long After Dark at Stairway to Heaven Records. “There’s something about the attitude on that record,” he said. “I still listen ‘Change of Heart’ like it’s the first time I’m hearing it, every time. That song is never worn out.” Azevedo is the host of Granite State of Mind, a weekly program on Concord radio station WKXL that showcases regional musicians. He’s also a tirelesss supporter of the local scene, and a few months back he began organizing tribute nights at New England College in Concord, each dedicated to the catalog of a single artist. He had an evening of Rolling Stones music scheduled for Oct. 21, but when he got the news about Petty, that changed. A Facebook post asking for artists got an

Of all the losses endured in the musical world over the past two years, the death of Tom Petty is perhaps the hardest to reconcile. A week before his death, Petty was on stage at the Hollywood Bowl, closing out the most triumphant tour of his 40-year career. More than that, some of the most well-received songs played that night came from recent albums. Tom Petty never needed to hit the road as an annuity act. From the opening chords of “Rockin’ Around With You” on the eponymous 1976 debut album by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, to the furious “Forgotten Man” on 2014’s Hypnotic Eye, Petty and his band stayed relevant in a rock and roll landscape littered with dinosaurs. It seemed he’d play forever; then, in a moment, he was gone. Early on, Petty put down New England roots; the first TPHB live album was recorded at Paul’s Mall, a now defunct club in Boston. They played all over the city, clubs like the Rat and Paradise, then on to the Orpheum and Great Woods, finally selling out TD Garden for two nights last July. The first time Petty & the Heartbreakers came to New Hampshire, Rob Azevedo was in the crowd, fists pumping. “Arms Park in Manchester, my first concert,” Azevedo recalled a few days after Petty’s death. The Del Fuegos opened, a band that included future Petty biographer and Con-

immediate response, as over a dozen musicians stepped up. Singer-songwriter Walker Smith was the first to name a song — two, actually: “Wildflowers” and “Into the Great Wide Open.” Don Bartenstein chimed in with “Breakdown” and the Traveling Wilburys’ “Handle With Care.” Lichen co-founder John Zevos asked to play “I Won’t Back Down” and “Last Night,” the latter another Wilburys song. As if to underscore Petty’s multigenerational reach, high schooler Jade Marie volunteered to sing “Yer So Bad.” Jasmine Mann will put a Stevie Nicks stamp on “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” Turnsoul, Chris Peters, Eric Ray Gustafson, Will Hatch and Joe Messineo are among the members of the state’s musical fraternity who will also contribute. Epping singer-songwriter Dean Harlem will open the night with “Southern Accents,” while Rest Stop Acquaintances, featuring Eric Seldon Ober, will perform “End of the Line” and “American Girl.” The latter was the final song ever played by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers; it ended the final show in Los Angeles. Azevedo’s feelings echo most Petty fans — he loves the music, but he’d rather buy another concert ticket than do this show. It will be different from all the other tribute nights, even those devoted to musicians now gone. “When Lemmy passed, it was like I couldn’t believe he wasn’t dead yet, and with Bowie there were rumors of cancer,” he said. “But nothing prepared me for Petty.” His death still hasn’t quite sunk in; it may not ever. “I’m still walking around just stunned whenever I listen to one of his songs,” Azevedo said. “It’s gonna feel less a celebration of his music than a mourning of his passing.”

girlfriend (who was my neighbor at the time) and he’s wearing a parka with sunglasses. And I say, “Thank God you wore that, Bob, because sometimes late at night here the sun gets really, really, bright and then it snows.” Sometimes it snows only on Bob Dylan. Aries (March 21 – April 19) Speaking of graves, I tell my younger friends that one day they’ll be at a bar playing pool and they’ll look up at the television set and there will be a picture of Princess Leia with two dates underneath, and they’ll say “awww — she said that would happen.” And then they’ll go back to playing pool. And she said that would happen. Taurus (April 20 – May 20) If you can get Paul Simon to write a song about you, do it. Because he is so brilliant at it. Seek top talent. Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Right after I got sober (the first time), an interviewer asked me if I was happy, and I said, “Among other things.” Happy is one of the many things I’m likely to be over the course of a day and certainly over the course of a lifetime. That’s how it is. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) ... in a lot of situations, you can hardly tell that there is anything really wrong with me — I just have basically too much personality for one person and not quite enough for two. But in the area of romance, Boom! — you know right away. When you know, you know. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) There are a couple of reasons why I take comfort in being able to put all this in my own vernacular and present it to you. For one thing, because then I’m not completely alone with it. And for another, it gives me a sense of being in control of the craziness. Write it down. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Having two celebrity parents, and a few celebrity boyfriends, it was extremely rare for me to get star struck. … But Cary Grant, well … I was completely blown away by him. If you run in to Cary Grant, be cool.

This special harvest ale is brewed with 50 pounds of our freshly harvested hops. Slightly hazy with a copper shade. Earthy, floral and spicy hop aromas complement a well balanced malt profile. Very approachable 5.3%

All quotes are from Wishful Drinking, by Carrie Fisher, born Oct. 21, 1956. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) Forty-three years ago, George Lucas ruined my life. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. And now, seventy-two years later, people are still asking me if I knew Star Wars was going to be that big of a hit. What you find interesting about you might not be what other people find interesting about you. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) First we’d watch my mother as she removed her makeup with a wash cloth, then she’d take a bubble bath. … Debbie Reynolds would slowly return to being our mother. The coach was once more a pumpkin, the footmen went back to being mice…. It’s a time of transformation. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) And the day before, [my father] had just gotten those tiny hearing aids that fit right inside his ears. … he put them in his pill box next to his bed so he’d remember where they were in the morning. Yes, that’s right, he ate them. Don’t eat your hearing aids. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) So now it’s 1973 and I’m seventeen and I’m enrolled at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. And, like I said, I really didn’t want to go, but once I got there, it turned out to be some of the best times of my life. A daunting project may have unforeseen benefits. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Shortly after I arrived, George gave me this unbelievably idiotic hairstyle, and I’m brought before him … and he says in his little voice, “Well, what do you think of it?” And I say — because I’m terrified I’m going to be fired for being too fat — I say, “I love it.” Yeah, and the check’s in the mail and one size fits all. Don’t say you love it if you don’t love it. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) So, a short time after this, I invite Bob [Dylan] to a party at my house, and he arrives with his

Death Wish Coffee, a cold-brewed, canned coffee the company touts as “fiercely caffeinated” (as much as 4 1/2 times more caffeine per fluid ounce than regular coffee), with a skull and crossbones logo, recalled its 11-ounce cans on Sept. 20 because they could possibly contain the deadly toxin botulin. Company founder Mike Brown, 37, said no incidents have been reported, but he is very serious about the safety of his product. “I know our logo and name might not seem like it reflects that,” Brown told The Washington Post. Production has been halted, and customers can request refunds from Death Wish’s website.

People different from us

• Mermaid Aries, 18, of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England, likes to wear her specially made mermaid tail when she swims at local pools. But the Dolphin Centre in Bromsgrove, under new management, has banned her from using the flipper because “they worry I might hit someone with my tail or might get into trouble in the water and drown,” Aries (real name Leia Trigger) told the Worcester News on Sept. 22. “It is my ambition to become a professional mermaid that attends children’s parties and other events. The only problem is that I have nowhere to swim.” (UPDATE: After the story made headlines, the Perdiswell Leisure Centre stepped up. Aquatic development officer Vanessa Bale welcomed Aries to the pool, offering her “early mornings and late evenings.” Aries is thrilled: “I am absolutely ecstatic. I never thought I’d be able to swim with my tail ever again.”) • An anonymous bidder in the United States has purchased a pair of Adolf Hitler’s boxer-style underwear for about $6,700, according to auctioneer Bill Panagopoulos of Alexander Historical Auctions in Chesapeake City, Maryland. The drawers, with a size 39 waist and “A.H.” embroidered on them, apparently were left in the Parkhotel Graz in Austria in 1938, Panagopulos told Metro News on Sept. 24. The seller was the grandson of the people who owned the hotel at that time. Panagopulos supposes the buyer will frame the underwear and hang them on a wall in his or her home: “It would be the most talked-about relic in the house.”

A black-and-white photo depicting the signing of the Charter of the United Nations in San Francisco in 1945 has prompted the recall and reprinting of Saudi social studies textbooks because it pictures Saudi King Faisal seated next to the Jedi master Yoda. The photograph was created by 26-yearold Saudi artist Abdullah Al Shehri, who mixes pop culture icons into historic pho-

tographs. Shehri told The New York Times in September he inserted Yoda into the photo because he reminded him of the king. “He was wise and was always strong in his speeches,” Shehri said. “I am the one who designed it, but I am not the one who put it in the book,” he clarified. Saudi education minister Ahmed al-Eissa apologized for the mistake, but the mystery of how the photo got into the book remains unsolved.

It’s good to have goals

Octogenarians Ray and Wilma Yoder of Goshen, Indiana, have finally achieved a goal they set nearly 40 years ago: to visit every Cracker Barrel location in the United States. On Aug. 31, they checked off the last of 645 stops in Tualatin, Oregon, where they each received a Four-Star apron, the company’s highest honor. The Yoders once stopped at 10 Cracker Barrels in one day as they traveled up the East Coast. “I’ve always walked away feeling refreshed,” Ray Yoder told ABC News. “For two old people, we’re pretty fast moving.”

Bright ideas

• The Detroit Red Wings’ new promotion commemorates the Joe Louis Arena, where the team played until this year, when they’re moving to a new rink. The Detroit News reported in September that fans who want to keep the old home ice close to their hearts and contribute to the team’s foundation can buy a small vial of limited edition “melted ice” taken from the arena’s surface (otherwise known as water) for $85. Only 3,000 vials have been produced; they are accompanied by a framed photo of The Joe.

• Even Superman underwear couldn’t protect Nathan French, 19, from Halewood, Merseyside, England, as he climbed to the top of the highest mountain in Wales, 3,600foot Snowdon. French managed to hike to the summit on Sept. 9, but he quickly succumbed to the elements perhaps because he was wearing ONLY Superman underwear, shoes and gloves. French, who is studying sport, nutrition and health in college, told The Guardian, “It was when I was at the top I was shaking uncontrollably.” He rode the Snowdon mountain railway back down, but fell ill on the train: “I started to go deaf and my sight started to go funny.” Paramedics said his blood sugar had dropped and he was showing signs of hypothermia. Miles Hill of the Llanberis mountain rescue team noted, “We hope Mr. French is back in the mountains soon, perhaps in the full suit (cape optional), rather than just the underwear.” • And police in Cumbria County, England, responded on Sept. 23 to a call for help from 3,210-foot Scafell Pike (England’s highest mountain), where four men ran into trouble while hiking. However, their problems didn’t stem from dehydration or a painful fall. Instead, it seems the group had become “incapable of walking due to cannabis use,” police told The Guardian. A police spokesperson wrote on Facebook: “Now having to deploy rescue, air support and ambulance to rescue them. Words fail us ...” Cumbria police superintendent Justin Bibby reminded hikers that “alcohol or any other substance that could impair your judgment ... has no place on a mountain.” Visit newsoftheweird.com.
