I visited from out of state to look at a specific vehicle they had. Everyone there went out of their way to accommodate me from the people in the office to the guys in the shop.

Nearly one year later and I’m still happy with my purchase!

Several years ago, paid family and medical leave was squarely in the “you don’t know what you don’t know” category for me.

As a young professional, I didn’t have aging parents, an ill spouse, or a new infant to care for.

I have since witnessed many instances where this benefit would have helped alleviate stressful life situations. From the premature birth of a child to caring for aging parents, too many families had to make difficult decisions between paying bills and taking care of loved ones. I watched as my mom made the difficult decision to take early retirement from the nursing career she loved. She had used all her earned time to care for my nan while she was dying and didn’t have enough time off work to manage the final responsibilities that come with burying your last living parent. An old knee injury flared up, sidelining her without pay, and finalized her decision to leave the workforce early. My parents lost years of additional income and retirement benefits, and the patients lost a caring and experienced professional.

A childhood friend is in the midst of grappling with the unexpected loss of her spouse while caring for their newborn. Her community came together with meals and donations to support her, which not every family can count on. There’s a safety net missing to help working people manage life’s obligations when care for their families needs to take priority.

On Oct. 31, the House Labor Committee will vote on HB 628. The bill would establish a family and medical leave insurance program, funded through a small payroll deduction. This program would expand efforts in place at several larger employers in New Hampshire and ensure that all working Granite Staters have access to paid leave when we need it most.

As the state addresses a worker shortage, this could be our competitive advantage, benefitting both emerging and established professionals. UNH research found that 82 percent of Granite Staters support this measure and, nationally, the data consistently demonstrate improved workforce retention for employers that offer paid family and medical leave. This insurance will meet a demand and provide critical support to workers across the state.

Like many others, my workplace does not have the capacity to offer these types of benefits. Yet most of us will experience an event during our careers where we need to briefly step away. The United States may lag behind the rest of the world in offering compensated leave benefits but New Hampshire has a chance to be on the right side of history. With only six other states currently offering paid family and medical leave, could this be the new “New Hampshire advantage”?

NEWS & NOTES Opioid emergency

Nearly three months after President Donald Trump promised to declare a state of emergency over the opioid epidemic, he announced a “public health emergency” on Thursday, Oct. 26, shortly before signing the official declaration.

Critics say the move is a half measure but a step in the right direction.

Gov. Chris Sununu attended the event, the AP reported. During the speech, Trump mentioned Manchester Fire Chief Dan Goonan and the Safe Station program.

Trump originally promised to declare an emergency on Aug. 10 at an impromptu press conference, two days after his then-HHS Secretary Tom Price said they would not be declaring an emergency.

Many local treatment advocates and congressional delegates had hoped the declaration would invoke the Stafford Act, which is what administrations use to free up disaster recovery funds after a hurricane or major terror attack.

According to the AP, Sununu said he hoped Congress would add to the president’s actions and free up more money in a way that helps states like New Hampshire that are disproportionately affected by the epidemic.

Each member of the state’s congressional delegation released statements in response to the declaration. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said she was encouraged by the declaration and looked forward to getting the resources the state needs. Sen. Maggie Hassan was quick to say that more resources are “still urgently needed” than this step ensures.

Rep. Annie Kuster echoed this sentiment. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter said it was “a much smaller step than the national emergency declaration that President Trump promised,” but still better than inaction.

Nashua airfield. But the flight program was canceled in recent years following the school’s purchase by the for-profit conglomerate ITT. Southern New Hampshire University bought the flight center building, the air traffic control tower and hangar for $410,000.

New trick-or-treat times

Since the damage to powerlines in Manchester have been largely repaired and tree litter mostly cleaned up, police chief Nick Willard determined it was safe to proceed with Trick or Treating on Oct. 31 as planned. But some surrounding towns were not so lucky.

Bedford rescheduled its Trick or Treating to Sunday, Nov. 5, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. to give work crews more time to conduct repairs without worrying about pedestrian traffic. The Town of Derry has rescheduled its Trick or Treating to Friday, Nov. 3, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Londonderry was already scheduled for Nov. 3 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Merrimack postponed its Halloween to Wednesday, Nov. 1, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Newmarket rescheduled to Nov. 1 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Atkinson decided to move its Halloween to Thursday, Nov. 2, from 6 p.m. to 8.

Cataloguing cottontails

New citizen science website for tracking rabbits

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

There are two kinds of cottontail rabbits in the state. While the state is focusing its conservation efforts on the endangered New England cottontail, it knows very little about the more plentiful transplant in the southern part of the state, the Eastern cottontail. But a new website for tracking cottontails has been set up to remedy that.

Cottontail confusion

Heidi Holman, a wildlife diversity biologist for New Hampshire Fish and Game, said residents who spot rabbits often confuse the two kinds of cottontails. They are very similar in appearance. In fact, the presence of the Eastern cottontail in the state is due in part to this confusion.

Holman said that in the early 1900s they were brought into the state from the Midwest for breeding game at game farms, under the assumption they were the same species as those native to the state.

But there are some key differences. Some distinguishing features can be seen in photographs, which is why Holman encourages citizen scientists to take snapshots of the rabbits they see and upload them to the new tracking website, nhrabbitreports.org.

Sometimes, Eastern cottontails can be identified by a white spot on their heads, something New England Cottontails never have, though juvenile snowshoe hares can have them too. Snowshoe hares, however, have bigger feet, hence the name.

Some of the more important differences have to do with behavior rather than appearance, Holman said.

While New England cottontails are struggling to survive in a state where their habitats have disappeared and become increasingly fragmented by human development, Eastern cottontails are better adapted to other habitat types.

“It evolved in a landscape that was more open so it’s more likely to be out in the grass, it happens to nest in people’s yards and it can move more readily across the landscape,” Holman said. “That’s why people see more of them.”

New England cottontails, conversely, prefer habitats like shrubby old fields, some shrubby wetlands and young forests that grow after a timber harvest. And they don’t venture out.

Because habitats are so few and populations are small, biologists like Holman know a lot more about New England cottontails than their Midwestern cousins.

The website provides useful information about the different rabbits, but ultimately, Holman hopes to learn more about the distribution of Eastern cottontails.

Possible risks

Eastern cottontails do not interbreed with New England cottontails. Biologists know this from regularly testing the DNA in rabbit droppings, according to Holman. And since Eastern cottontails are better equipped to spread and establish themselves throughout the state, there’s a risk that they might overtake New England cottontail habitats in the future. While neither species is particularly aggressive, if they compete over scarce food and real estate, the Eastern cottontail is more likely to succeed.

That’s one of the reasons Holman partnered with the UNH Cooperative Extension

to create the tracking website.

“Eventually, all the data points will give us a map of southern New Hampshire and it will start to show me where there are large numbers of Eastern cottontails,” Holman said.

England cottontail off the state endangered species list is active breeding programs.

Each year, the state gets about 50 rabbits from the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island, about 50 rabbits from the Queens Zoo in New York City and about 50 from Patience Island in Rhode Island.

On top of that, the state has begun breeding its own in an outdoor facility established earlier this summer at the Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Newington. They placed six pairs of adult males and females in there and already pulled about eight young to release into the wild.

“Our goal is to release hundreds every year,” Holman said.

Conservation

Efforts to help the New England cottontails get and keep a foothold in New Hampshire are still in the early days, but they appear to be gaining momentum.

In 2013, cottontails were released in the newly established Bellamy Wildlife Management Area in the Seacoast. And new habitats are being set up in Londonderry, where there are already existing clusters of New England cottontails, not far from the airport.

Holman said they set up two 20-acre You can help the state in its efforts to track habitats in the last few years and are in the New Hampshire’s wild rabbit population: If process of setting up another 10 to 15 acres you see a rabbit in the wild, snap a picture over the next year. and upload it to nhrabbitreports.org.

For the past few years, the Manchester Historic Association has been opening the Weston Observatory in Manchester to the public for two weekends in October, charging a small admission fee and allowing visitors to climb the tower and catch stunning views of the city and fall foliage.

But this year, the tower remained closed.

“We’ve chosen not to [open] simply because we want the views to be addressed,” MHA Executive Director John Clayton said.

Wildfires

How NH residents can prepare for wildfire risks

California’s wine country is beginning a historic cleanup effort as it nears full containment of the wildfires that devastated 245,000 acres of land, killed at least 43 people and destroyed thousands of homes and other structures. In New Hampshire, local, state and federal fire services recently contained a fire on Dilly Cliff in North Woodstock, which burned about 70 acres for the better part of October.

And the threat of wildfires is not yet extinguished in New Hampshire. With unusually warm fall temperatures and below normal precipitation, wildfire risks are still ongoing, even with the recent rainfall.

Douglas Miner, a forest ranger captain with the New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands, said that while there are some differences in topography and tree types compared to up north or California, southern New Hampshire still has plenty of places where big, difficult-to-manage wildfires could happen.

“There are still some very large parcels which can equate to some very similar challenges to what they dealt with on the Dilly fire,” Miner said.

Places like large conservation easements, fish and wildlife management properties and state parks are all located in the southern part of the state. And some of the most difficult fires to deal with are those located on hills or mountains.

“There are some pretty high peaks even in the southern part of the state that could potentially create a longer-duration fire to deal with,” Miner said.

When you can’t bring a fire engine close or have nearby access to water and pumping capacity, the problem is much more challenging. In the case of Dilly Cliff, it was a 45-minute hike from the staging area to where the fire was taking place. Crews had to deploy a variety of tactics to contain it, including water drops from helicopters.

In some ways, global warming may be driving some of the increased risks, insofar as it causes more severe droughts and milder winters. Traditionally, a heavy snow cover helps to pack down dead plant debris like grass and leaves from the previous year,

making it harder for a fire to take hold.

So far, this year hasn’t been as bad as some years; 2016 saw 1,090 acres burned by 351 fires throughout the year.

“We had some much larger fires [last year] than New Hampshire normally would see,” Miner said.

And while tree fires are more rare in New Hampshire, especially like the crown fires seen in North Woodstock, grass fires are still a big risk and rain does little to assuage Miner’s concerns.

“We could have a rainstorm that ends at 8 o’clock in the morning and we can have grass fires burning at 11 o’clock,” Miner said.

Ultimately, there are things we can do to protect our homes and families from wildfires, which are spread mostly from embers in the wind. Miner said nine out of 10 are still caused by humans.

“Unfortunately, in 73 years, we really haven’t made a lot of progress even with all of the educational campaigns that we’ve had in school systems with the Smokey Bear program. People, still, are not being totally careful about making sure that their fires are totally extinguished before they leave them,” Miner said.

Mostly, this means properly extinguishing cigarettes and making sure campfires are completely out before going to sleep or leaving the property.

But if a fire has started in a southern New Hampshire forest, near your home, you’ll want to make sure the property is in a “defensible space,” as Miner terms it.

“It’s not creating a biological desert around the structures. You can still have vegetation there. You just want to have lush green grass or vegetation that’s very healthy,” Miner said.

He said it’s important to clean dried leaves and pine needles from gutters and roofs, and to rake it out from around and underneath decks. Don’t put bark mulch around foundations, and avoid plants like juniper, the resin of which tends to serve as a natural fuel.

Wildfire season picks up again in the spring soon after the snow melts, so it’s best to clear out brush and dead plant material now.

Miner also recommends downloading the mobile app Wildfire Preparedness, which has additional tips specifically for the Northeast on how to prepare, plan and respond to wildfires in your area.

Parks and Rec Director Don Pinard asking the department to address the tree issue, saying a century of growth has “totally obliterated” the views the the south and east.

The MHA received no response. Pinard has not responded to the Hippo’s request

for an interview.

Clayton said that if the trees are cut down, one would be able to see the Prudential Building in Boston to the south with the aid of binoculars and the ocean to the east.

NEWS & NOTES Q&A

Teacher of the year When teaching runs in the family

Heidi Crumrine of Concord is an English teacher at Concord High School. She was selected the New Hampshire Teacher of the Year for 2017.

Can you tell me where you’re from and what your experience going to school as a youngster was like?

[In] my elementary school years, I was at a private school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, called St. Edmond’s Academy. And then we moved to Bow, New Hampshire, when I was 12, and I started seventh grade at Bow Memorial Middle School. And then, at that time Bow kids came to Concord High for high school, so I came to Concord High and was a student here and graduated in 1997.

And then I went to UNH and got my bachelor’s degree in family studies, and then, from there I went to teacher’s college at Columbia University, which is where I got my master’s in English education and my teaching certification. Then, about 10 years later, I got another master’s degree through Grand Canyon University in reading instruction.

Don’t let ankle pain sideline you!

Join us for a free education night.

Was there maybe one teacher that stood out in your memory as someone who inspired you?

I was blessed with many great teachers and I think that … I often reflect on them and … try to remember that nice feeling that I had with them, and try to replicate that. My second-grade teacher, her name was Miss Sacco, and she was the first teacher that I really just fell in love with. I just adored her. ... I was actually a struggling reader at that age, so I had to get extra reading support.

The year that I was discharged from reading help was the year I had her. And I really, as an adult looking back, think that it’s because she was just such a dynamite teacher, but I also felt safe and comfortable and I didn’t feel uncomfortable with my reading issues. … We actually reconnected just a few years ago. I wrote her a letter, because I have my students write to former teachers. So I said I would write to one, and she wrote me back … and now we’ve connected on Facebook. … In high school, I had some really great teachers too. I had Miss McGlynn in 12th grade, in world literature. She was just funny and also the first teacher to ever give me a B in English. At the time, it stung, but now I realize that I was just … doing B-quality work, and I learned what I needed to do to get back to having an A.

Did you know that ankle arthritis, previous ankle injuries, and even minor sprains can lead to chronic ankle joint pain? This can have significant effects on your activity level and lifestyle. Is ankle pain keeping you from living an active lifestyle or does it hinder your day to day activity?

I was little [if you asked] me what I wanted to do, that was it. I would play school at home and that was just what I wanted to do. I grew up in a family of teachers too. My mom, my grandmother, my great-grandmother and my great-aunt were all teachers. … But really, I just love reading and writing.

Now that you’re teaching, what would you say is baked into your style or approach that might stand out as different or unique from other teachers?

Not that other teachers don’t do this, but I really try to get to know each kid and figure out where they’re coming from. And before I even expect them to understand me, I want them to understand that I respect them. So I try to individualize as much as I can, and I do that by offering a lot of choice in reading and writing. But I think I just try to connect with each kid, and sometimes the student who is the most challenging is the one who needs the most love, and that’s the student that’s often lost and forgotten in the system because they’re so challenging.

Do you feature any particular writers or works of literature in your courses, and do you find any particular work resonates well with students?

I think that any work can resonate with kids if you teach it right. So the idea that if you teach something old they won’t like it is not true, but you need to make it relevant. … I have a student now who’s reading college-level stuff and she’s in ninth grade, and then I have other students who are not on grade level. So everybody can be challenged in their own way. … Then I, from there, try and move those kids into something a little more challenging, or other genres, and give them other exposures.

But I do love teaching Of Mice and Men

by John Steinbeck. I love The Crucible by Arthur Miller. … In ninth grade, we do teach Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, and kids do really respond to that.

— Ryan Lessard

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Drugs safely disposed

More than 100 New Hampshire communities took part in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day last Saturday, NHPR reported. Residents were urged to clean out their medicine cabinets and drop off their unwanted prescription medications at a local participating police station. The event was created to raise awareness about prescription medication misuse while giving the public a way to safely and conveniently dispose of their medications.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: According to WMUR, 13,160 pounds of drugs were collected and taken to a facility that specializes in burning them. The state had already collected more than 14,000 pounds of unwanted medications during a Drug Take Back Day in April.

Solar panel challenge for firefighters

New Hampshire firefighters are warning that the increasing number of rooftop solar panels installed on New Hampshire homes is making it more difficult to put out fires, WMUR reported. Firefighters often need to access the roof of a burning building to ventilate it, but solar panels act as electrified obstacles. Many fire departments have not yet written protocol on how to handle a building covered by a solar array.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Homeowners are encouraged to provide access space around the panels and keep one slope of the roof uncovered so that firefighters can cut ventilation holes in the event of a fire.

Rainstorm damage and outages

After high winds from an overnight storm on Sunday, Oct. 29, utility crews were working to restore power to about 245,000 outages across the state, the AP reported. At its height, there were about 450,000 outages, according to a press release from the state Department of Safety. The DOS called it the fourth largest outage in state history. Wind speeds reached about 68 miles per hour inland, and 78 mph at the Isle of Shoals. Some northern parts of the state had flood warnings and a mobile home park in Campton was evacuated, according to the AP. Many school districts were closed the following Monday.

NHPR reported that more than 350 roads were closed, according to state officials.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Eversource said on Monday that some homes could be without power for a few days, according to NHPR.

Second most financially savvy state

The Granite State has retained its second-place spot in the 2017 Most & Least Financially Savvy States by WalletHub. States were graded using 23 key metrics in four main categories: debt and spending, financial literacy, credit and saving. New Hampshire had the top spot in the saving category, fourth in financial literacy and was in the Top 10 for the other two categories. The state was second overall in its percentage of adults with rainy day funds and its percentage of unbanked households.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Massachusetts earned the top spot overall, with first place in the debt and spending category. Connecticut came in third and Mississippi was in last place.

The latest evidence our society has become oh so touchy over just about everything came last week from Houston, Texas, where Texans players threatened a boycott of Sunday’s game in Seattle after owner Bob McNair said earlier in the week of players dictating actions in the ongoing national anthem controversy, “We can’t have the inmates running the prison.”

Sorry, that’s a massive overreaction. While I’ve always heard “asylum” and not “prison,” it’s a figure of speech used billions of times, which I took to mean you can’t have the players running the league — that’s the owners’ job. What’s wrong with that? One of the players even said they thought McNair should be called “chairman” because players aren’t “owned” by anyone. That refers to owning the team for crying out loud, not the players.

Yikes. Lighten up, fellas.

Now here are a few other thoughts on a pretty hectic time in sports.

More evidence the world has gone crazy: John Farrell and Joe Girardi got fired after winning back-to-back AL East titles and bringing very young teams ahead of schedule to within a game of the World Series. Given that, I have no idea what one has to do to keep one’s job.

A great stat from the Globe’s Dan Shaughnessy: after just 17 extra-inning homers had been hit during in the first 115 World Series, five were hit in less than an hour during Game 2.

Here’s why sports have become paralyzed by statistics. After L.A. won Game 1, Fan Graphics gave them an 85-percent chance to win the Series. Then after that incredible Game 2 it gave Houston a 93-percent chance of doing that. Bottom line: It’s nonsense.

They get a lot of TV shots during the playoffs and series, but does anyone actually know what a bench coach does?

Anyone else notice that all-Patriots alum-

Anytime.

Anywhere.

Any day... day...

three quarters of the NFL players, Jemele Hill, Ted Cruz, Steph Curry, Bob Corker, conservative Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, POW camp survivor John McCain and that lady on the bike last week who flipped him off as his motorcade came out of his golf course in Virginia — a cross-section of veterans, athletes, GOP pols, international leaders and no Democrats — so it ain’t politics that drive a lot of it. I mean, even the paranoid Billy Martin didn’t get in that many fights.

Speaking of golf, there’s his repeatedly complaining about how much Barack Obama played while president, when it turns out Trump has played far more than Obama ever did. That’s certainly a dinky thing in the big picture, but an example of utter hypocrisy and how much of a pass for it he gets from his supporters/enablers.

Since we are at the anniversary, I never did mention when it happened the Mt. Rushmore of Sports Celebrity Trump for President endorsers, so here it is. Mike Tyson, Curt Schilling, Johnny Damon and Bobby Knight. An ex-con for rape, a wingnut right-winger growing nastier by the day, a self-described idiot and a noted anger management specialist who once threw a chair at a college basketball ref during a game.

If you don’t realize how out of whack the state of political affairs is in this country, this may be the best example: During the hooha of the NFL protests, 35,000 Baltimore Ravens fans signed an online petition to remove the Ray Lewis statue from in front of the stadium because he kneeled with the players during the anthem. A stunning number to be sure. But that’s even as a great many of those 35,000 were fine with erecting a statue in the first place for someone who plead to obstructing justice in a still unsolved double murder because he was a great player. We’ll look past a double murder, but not kneeling during the anthem.

Yeah — they have their priorities in perfect order.

ni TD hook-up in the Ravens’ 40-0 win over Miami on Thursday Football from Ryan Mallett to Ben Watson (who, incidentally, I can’t believe is still playing)?

Here’s an example of the power of sport.

J.J. Watt raised an incredible $37 million for hurricane-ravaged Houston basically out of thin air. Show me another element in our society that can rally public involvement like that. Very cool. Very inspiring. Three thumbs up to J.J. Is there a bigger slap to a country’s sports self-esteem than the NHL not having a Stanley Cup winner from Canada since 1993?

And the Maple Leafs haven’t won since 1967.

Back to being oh so touchy. With the anniversary of Donald Trump’s stunning election upon us, it’s interesting to note that for better or worse he’s somehow been far more involved with sport-related stories than any president I can remember. And it’s not just somehow turning a player demonstration over incidents of alleged police brutality on black Americans into a patriotic flag-waving issue that benefits him despite his being a draft-dodger himself. There are quite a few more. For example: Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer in the investigation of his campaign’s possible collaboration with Russia in his election is none other than John Dowd. That dude was the investigator who got the goods on Pete Rose for gambling on baseball. He also nabbed George Steinbrenner on Faye Vincent’s watch for hiring convicted felon Howard Spira to dig up/manufacture dirt on Dave Winfield to scar his right fielder’s reputation. And he’s now being sued by Rose for defamation.

Veteran Gregg Popovich, who incidentally majored in Russian studies as an Air Force Academy cadet, is the latest sports person to go off on the president, which makes me wonder if Mr. Trump has ever wondered why so many people just seem to hate him so. That group includes Pop, the prime minister of Greece, the mayors of San Juan and London,

Bedford-Central split The Big Story: It was a split in the big Manchester Central-Bedford high school sports win-or-go-home weekend. It basically was the first football playoff game of the year. Bedford downed the Green 26-6 behind TDs by Lucien Mumpini, Harrison LeGoullon and Thomas Norfleet during a huge fourth-quarter rally to grab the last Division I playoff spot on Friday night. But on Saturday the tables were turned in the biggest upset of the Division I State Soccer Tournament when the oneseed was knocked off by nine-seed Central 1-0 in the quarter-final round on a goal from Joshue Assantha and a perfect game in goal by Glaudi Bangasimbo.

Sports 101: Seven different backs have run for 2,000 or more yards in an NFL season. Name them.

Hot Ticket: It’s that time of year already as the Granite State Baseball Dinner is just two weeks away on Saturday, Nov. 18. As usual, local legend Chris Carpenter will headline the event, and he’ll be joined by Red Sox legends Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd, Rico Petrocelli and Luis Tiant, with others soon to be announced. Game time is 5 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel Expo Center in Manchester. For tickets and info go to nhfishercats.com

The Numbers

2 – goals by Nate Kelsey and Oliver Simon as top seed Derryfield was a 6-0 first-round winner over Sanborn in the Division III State Soccer Tournament.

3 – points from Joshue Assantha on two goals and an assist in Central’s 4-0 opening playoff round win over Nashua South when

Turnaround Play of the Week: To Lucien Mumpini, who, with Central knocking at the door on the Bedford 14 and Bedford clinging to a one-point lead with nine minutes in the fourth quarter, took back an interception 90 yards for a TD to (1) snuff out the threat, (2) widen the lead to 8 points and (3) give his Bulldogs major momentum to score twice more.

Sports 101 Answer: The seven 2,000yard NFL runners are O.J. Simpson (2,003 in 14 games in 1973), Eric Dickerson (2,105 in 1984), Barry Sanders (2,053 in 1997), Terrell Davis (2,008 in 1998), Jamal Lewis (2,066 in 2003), Chris Johnson (2,006 in 2009) and Adrian Peterson (2,097 in 2012).

On This Day – Nov. 2: 1960 – Architect of the Yankees’ 1947-60 dynasty George Weiss resigns to become GM of the expansion Mets on the same day Roger Maris nips teammate Mickey Mantle in the MVP voting (225-222) after Weiss traded for him the previous winter. Maris nipped Mantle again in ’61 after hitting 61 homers to Mantle’s 54. 1969 – A record 12 TD passes are thrown as Saints and Cardinal QBs Billy Kilmer and Charlie Johnson each throw six. 1974 – Hank Aaron is traded back to Milwaukee, where he began his career, for outfielder Dave May.

Nidal Almaree and Griffin Hamel also had a goal.

4 – touchdown passes thrown when Aiden Goujon had just five completions for a whopping 229 yards as Pinkerton moved to 8-1 with a 35-7 win over Merrimack.

Sports Glossary

Billy Martin: Unlikable Yankees second baseman and manager who never saw a fight he didn’t like. At 150 pounds soaking wet, he took on big and small alike including soon to be institutionalized Sox rookie Jimmy Piersall (pre-game fight, two-punch KO), his Minnesota starting pitcher Dave Boswell (broken jaw), hulking ex-Yankees catcher Clint Courtney (one-punch KO) at second base, and Yankees starter Ed Whitson, who broke 57-year-old Billy’s ar in a 20-minute hotel brawl.

The Dave Winfield Affair: Inspired by George Steinbrenner over his enemy/right fielder getting better pub in the tabloids than him. Steinbrenner paid convicted gambler with alleged mafia ties Howard Spira $40k to dig up dirt on big Dave. Once uncovered, this had the following results: (1) George was suspended for life as Yankees owner, (2) Faye Vincent lost his job, because, as with Jerry Jones today, the owners didn’t want some employee/ commissioner telling them what they could do, (3) Brewers owner Bud Selig became commissioner, and (4) I quit being a Yankees fan because I didn’t want to root for a team owned by a creep like George.

Toronto Maple Leafs: Team in Canada’s largest city that always took a back seat to Montreal when it came to hockey. It did rule hockey for a short time in the ’60s when it won the Cup in 1961, ’62, ’63, ’64 and ’67. That must have been through a deal with the devil of the non-New Jersey variety because they haven’t won one since.

There are a few standard go-tos when it comes to nightlife offerings: trivia nights, karaoke, open mikes. But if you’re looking for something different to do when you head to a local bar or

restaurant, you’ve got options — and they range from mechanical bull riding to creating wooden signs. If you’re going for a retro vibe, check out a speakeasy, or listen to some old-school sounds at

vinyl night. Watch a cult film while you enjoy an adult beverage or two, or play a game of cribbage. Whether you prefer passive fun or a more engaging activity, we’ve got a novel nightlife idea for you.

Points and pints Cribbage adds new fun to your night out

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

If you want to drink beer, make new friends and play games, bar trivia isn’t your only option. Now you can play the classic French board game of cribbage at a brewery tasting room.

There is a competitive cribbage league called the American Cribbage Congress, which hosts an annual tournament in the state, but if you want a chance to play for free and for fun, your best bet is the Great Cribbage Tourney held regularly at Great North Aleworks in Manchester.

The game of cribbage is played by progressing with pegs on a track as you accrue points, usually by counting your regular playing cards to 15 as many ways as possible. Whoever gets to the finish line first wins.

For New Hampshire residents of French Canadian heritage, this game is often a cornerstone of family upbringing, but until recently there hasn’t been much opportunity to play the game in public, where its popularity is less universal.

Great North Aleworks held its first tournament on March 30, a Thursday, at 6 p.m.

“And it’s just been growing ever since,” said Joseph Getts, the tasting room manager.

It’s held five more since then, according Hippo | November 2 - 8, 2017 | Page 12

to Getts. The most recent tournament was on Oct. 26.

Generally, the event happens each month on a Thursday evening, but the week moves around as the brewery juggles other events such as open-mike nights, fundraisers and trivia.

Admission is free; you just have to call ahead or sign up on Facebook to get on the board.

The tournament is double elimination, so if you lose your first game you get put

on a second-chance bracket. Two people play in each round.

“The winner of the main tournament and the second-chance bracket both earn gift cards,” Getts said.

The main winner gets a $29 gift card for Great North, and the second-chance winner gets $15. Twenty-nine is the highest score possible in a single hand.

The brewery is owned by Rob and Lisa North, formerly of Canada, where the game is more popular. Getts said the two

played the game growing up.

When they were setting up the tasting room, they knew they wanted it to be a place for social interaction.

“We knew we didn’t want TVs in the tasting room,” Getts said.

To go a step beyond that, they decided a good way to get people off their phones and talking to one another would be a game of some sort. Cribbage was an early idea so the brewery started collecting boards. And it turned out there was plenty of demand.

“We discovered that there’s a lot of interest just talking to our regular customer base,” Gett said.

Their first event saw about 20 people and the most recent event had about 30.

They now have 18 cribbage boards in their growing collection.

Down the road, there’s the potential for expanding the tournament to include other bars and breweries in the state if there’s interest in that, according to Getts.

Play cribbage Where: Great North Aleworks, 1050 Holt Ave., No. 15, Manchester When: “The Great Cribbage Tourney” takes place once a month on a Thursday at 6 p.m.

Movies in a taproom Brewery hosts Flight & Film series

By Angie Sykeny

Once a month, Rockingham Brewing Co. hosts its Flight & Film series, when it shows a cult classic or indie film on a projector in the taproom, accompanied by beer flights for attendees.

Past films have covered a variety of genres, from black-and-white classics like Some Like it Hot and It’s a Wonderful Life to horror flicks like Silence of the Lambs and Night of the Living Dead. Films are often chosen to coincide with the season or nearest holiday. Groundhog Day was shown in February, Three Amigos was shown in May for Cinco de Mayo, and Psycho was shown in October for Halloween.

“We show obscure movies to share them with people who haven’t seen them before.

Then other times we show a cult classic where everyone knows every word and laughs the whole way through,” brewery co-founder Ali Buinicky said.

During the movie, you can get two beer flights: a flight of four for the first half, and another flight of four for the second half after the intermission.

The flights include whatever eight beers the brewery has on tap at the time, usually four year-round beers and four that rotate seasonally.

“It’s a different flight every time, so it doesn’t get old. People are trying new beers every month.” Buinicky said. “It kind of opens people’s horizons to try beers that they wouldn’t normally order on their own.”

If you don’t want to get the flight, you can get two full pints of beer instead. Many times, if the brewery has a new beer, peo-

ple at the Flight & Film events will get to taste it first, before it’s officially released.

Buinicky created the series last fall as a way of sharing her love for indie film and craft beer, and giving people a place where they can appreciate both art forms in an intimate, low-key setting.

“It’s been my favorite thing that we do at the brewery,” she said. “Everyone seems to have fun, and I’m so happy with how it’s developed.”

Flight & Film events can accommodate 25 people and almost always sell out, Buinicky said, so if you want to go, you should purchase tickets as early as possible; they go on sale two weeks in advance.

Flight & Film When: First Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m., unless otherwise specified Where: Rockingham Brewing Co., 1 Corporate Park Drive, Unit 1, Derry Cost: $20, includes film and beer flight More info: 216-2324, rockinghambrewing.com/flight-film

From glass painting to wood sign and canvas making, you can get in touch with your creative side at local restaurants, bars and wineries.

Several businesses offer party services and other events throughout the year at various Granite State locations. One of the most active is Drinkable Arts, a Hollis-based glass-painting business with representatives all over the country that has a regular schedule of private and public paint-and-sip parties.

Owner Cheryl Snyder said the parties focus on designing all types of glassware, like wine glasses, martini glasses, vases, beer glasses and mason jars. They have held events at New England’s Tap House Grille in Hooksett, Cork N’ Keg in Raymond, Murphy’s Taproom in Manchester

Where: Various locations across New Hampshire; the next two public events are Sunday, Nov. 12, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Paddy’s American Grille (27 International Drive, Portsmouth), and Monday, Nov. 20, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Cork N’ Keg Grill (4 Essex Road, Raymond).

Cost: Ranges from around $30 to $45 per person, depending on the venue Visit: drinkablearts.com

and several other area restaurants and bars.

“When people go out to restaurants and bars, they may just be sitting there with nothing to do, so it’s like an added activity to bring guests in,” Snyder said of the parties. “A lot of times, what will happen is we’ll reserve a solid area away from everything else … and other people who are drinking or eating nearby come to see what’s going on and they’ll end up becoming our customers at the next party.”

According to Snyder, all supplies are provided at each party. In addition to public events, Drinkable Arts will host parties for all types of occasions.

“We’re always looking for new restaurants to host at,” she said.

While Drinkable Arts focuses on glassware, Snyder said she is starting to incorporate different activities into the parties, like wood sign-making.

Similar events presented by The Canvas Roadshow in Bedford are held once every month at LaBelle Winery in Amherst, with the next one happening on Wednesday, Nov. 15, at 6 p.m.

“We’ve kind of started to pivot to doit-yourself wood projects, which have actually been more popular lately than canvas [painting],” said Debbie Ellis, owner of The Canvas Roadshow. “It’s a similar step-by-step concept. Everybody gets a stencil and they sand and pound on the wood … and the winery does a winetasting to go with it. It’s usually four tastes per person.”

Don’t worry about your artistic skill level. Snyder said the focus should always be on having fun.

“Anybody that’s in this industry is an art entertainer, not an instructor, and that’s what they want to bring,” she said.

Spinning fun Brewery hosts monthly vinyl nights

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Beer and classic music come together during Pipe Dream Brewing’s vinyl nights.

Once a month the Londonderry brewery hosts a party with friends and vinyl records enthusiasts Jayson Brennen and Pete Psaledas, who play vinyl records from their personal collections throughout the evening.

Brennen and Psaledas have been collecting records since they were in high school. Together, they own more than 800 of them. As they were looking for a way to put their records to use, they proposed the idea of a vinyl night to the Pipe Dream Brewing founder and head brewer, who loved the idea. They held their first vinyl night last fall.

“We’re constantly trying to bring in new things and not have the same cookie-cutter events all the time,” Pipe Dream co-owner and event manager Tori Bacheller said. “[Vinyl nights] are really great because it’s something new and different, and it brings in people of all different ages and all different walks of life.”

For vinyl nights, Brennen and Psaledas bring their own turntables and audio equipment and several dozen records from their collections. They have records from the 1950s through the early 1990s, with genres ranging from rock ’n’ roll and metal to pop and hip-hop.

“They change it up all the time, so we never hear the same stuff,” Bacheller said.

While the music is playing, attendees can hang out and socialize in the tap room and enjoy Pipe Dream brews and food from the brewery’s food menu like pizza, nachos and barbecue.

At different points throughout the evening, Brennen and Psaledas will play

games like music trivia and name-thattune, with small prizes for the winners.

People will be able to browse the records available that night, talk to Brennen and Psaledas about their collection, and put in requests for what they would like to hear.

“Jayson and Pete are very friendly,” Bacheller said. “They love talking about what they’re playing and love talking to people about their music while [people] look through their records.”

Bacheller said the vinyl nights have become one of the most popular events hosted by the brewery.

“Sometimes at a bar, when it’s really busy, you can’t relax and can’t talk over all the people and the music,” she said. “I think people like the vinyl nights because they’re more relaxed. You can interact with the people around you and talk music and just have a fun night out.”

Prohibition is long-gone but a few area bars have taken up the mantle of speakeasy — a drinking establishment themed after 1920s watering holes, tucked away in hidden pockets of the state’s urban landscape.

Right now there are two local speakeasies and a third one on the way. They share a level of secrecy, a trick for getting through the door, Prohibition-era-inspired decor and a heavy emphasis on high-quality craft cocktails.

In Manchester, the first speakeasy to open in the state was 815 Cocktails and Provisions, located on Elm Street.

Co-owner Sarah Maillet said one thing that makes speakeasies different from other bars is they usually don’t advertise openly. Finding the place through word of mouth adds to the overall experience.

“It’s definitely the experience, as a whole, especially for 815, where we haven’t done any real advertising other than word of mouth and social media,” Maillet said.

At 815, patrons are required to give a password through a phone booth intercom at the door. The password changes weekly and is posted on social media every Monday.

“So it becomes more of an adventure,” Maillet said.

While some of the interior decor resembles old 1920s speakeasies, with a brick wall that has the words “Vote Against Prohibition” painted on it, and black curtains drawn over all the windows, there are also some more modern art murals on the walls.

“We’ve put our own new modern flair Local speakeasies 815 Cocktails and Provisions, 815 Elm St., Manchester, 782-8086, ivotewet.com.

They’re open Monday through Saturday 5 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

Special events coming up include the annual Prohibition Party on Dec. 9 (during which they’ll be releasing a new select barrel of whiskey from Old Forester) and the business will be celebrating its third anniversary near the end of January.

New classes start in January.

on it,” Maillet said.

She describes the interior as funky and vintage, and that can be said of the drinks too.

While the bartenders at 815 mix sidecars and sazeracs with the same attention to detail and fresh ingredients as the original recipes called for, they also use their decades of combined bartending experience to experiment and create original cocktails, like the Sake To Me, a cocktail made with sake, shiso tequila and pear juice with sugar, cinnamon and chili powder on the rim.

They make a lot of their own infusions as well as liqueurs like limoncello, d’orgeat and dram. And they have a wide variety of whiskeys.

“I would say we have one of the largest whiskey collections in the area,” Maillet said.

Another speakeasy in Nashua, called Codex Books. Antiques. Rarities., is hidden behind a faux bookstore front. To get in, owner Liu Vaine said one needs to pull the correct book from the bookshelf.

Inside, Vaine takes the Prohibition theme to the next level with period decor and staff that dress in 1920s attire.

“Once you step inside, you jump into the 1920s,” Vaine said. “We have a lot of regulars who come in all decked out like they’re in the 1920s.”

Even the music is appropriate to the period, and a ragtime piano player comes in on Fridays and Saturdays.

And, like 815, they put a premium on the quality and authenticity of the drinks.

“We even use raw sugar for our Oldfashioned,” Vaine said.

Vaine is currently working on a new speakeasy that will be located in Concord’s Eagle Square. It will be called Chuck’s BARbershop. And unlike the current speakeasies that hide behind simple facades, this bar will be accessed through

a functioning barbershop.

“We actually have a barber who’s going to be working there,” Vaine said.

The barber will have ownership over his side of the business and he’ll help bar patrons find their way to the back.

Vaine has spent months renovating the old building, which he said was the location for Cheers before it moved a few blocks down. He said it’s been abandoned for about 15 years.

The upstairs will be decorated with a Prohibition theme blended with a strong barbershop element, with razors displayed on walls, barbershop paraphernalia and somewhere a portrait of the business’ namesake, Chuck Frederick Nutting, a bartender friend of Vaine’s who died four years ago.

Much of the main floor is already completed, according to Vaine, who hopes to open sometime in December.

Eventually, he plans to open a whiskey bar in the basement, with old whiskey barrels cut and mounted on the walls to make the illusion of a secret store room. It would double as a function hall for private parties and corporate gatherings.

Wild ride

We’ve got your nuts covered... and so much more.

Why you might want to jump on a mechanical bull

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

You can have a country rodeo experience in the Queen City — just hop on the mechanical bull at Club ManchVegas Bar & Grill and test your balance and endurance skills. You can even make a competition out of it.

Mechanical bulls, sharks or surfboards — in which you try to stay on the machine for as long as you can before getting thrown off onto an inflatable or padded surface underneath — can be rented through party service companies.

But one of the few places in the Granite State where you can regularly ride one is at Club ManchVegas, which owns a mechanical bull as one of its main attractions.

According to co-owner John Rousseau, the cost is $3 for one ride, or $5 for two rides. The bull has been a fixture of Club ManchVegas for about five years and is open for riding all night on each night the bar is open.

“The bull … brings us new people in who may have heard we have it and they’ll walk in and go ‘Look, there’s the bull.’ It’s something different,” Rousseau said. “It was just something that we had tried out in the beginning as part of the branding. We used to rent it out before deciding to just buy one.”

The rules are simple: hold on to the saddle of the bull with your dominant hand and use your other hand for balance once the bull operator turns on the machine. You can also shift your body weight with how the bull moves to stay on as long as you can.

“Every ride is exactly the same for everybody, whether the rider is a novice or experienced at it, just so that the operator himself can’t say, ‘I’m going to try to throw you off,’” Rousseau said.

Sometimes the bar will hold special contests using the mechanical bull, in which those who are able to stay on the longest receive prices like gift certificates.

“We always do have people come in as part of a little group who challenges themselves,” Rousseau said, “and we’ll probably do contests every couple of months. We’ll be looking back into it in the wintertime.”

ARTS Door to door

Statewide artisan tour returns

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Now in its 12th year, NH Open Doors, a statewide self-guided tour, will feature more than 100 stops — the most it has ever had — as artists, craftspeople and business owners open their doors to the public and offer handmade items for sale, special activities, demonstrations, food and drink tastings and more.

It’s happening Saturday, Nov. 4, and Sunday, Nov. 5; to help you plan your route, a list of participating businesses and their hours and activities can be found at nhopendoors.com. The website also has suggested itineraries developed by Open Doors participants.

“It’s a great way and a beautiful time of year to tour the state, meet the talented people who live and work here and visit all sorts of businesses that enrich the quality of life in New Hampshire,” said Miriam Carter, executive director of the League of NH Craftsmen, which hosts the event.

Fine arts, furniture, jewelry, metalwork, photography, pottery, fabric arts and sculpture are just some of the arts and crafts that will be represented on the tour.

One of this year’s featured artists, Adele Sanborn, has been a part of NH Open Doors every year since its inception. Her work includes mixed media pieces that combine calligraphy and lettering with watercolors and photography.

“I love to talk about my work, demonNH Open Doors Where: Locations statewide When: Saturday, Nov. 4, and Sunday, Nov. 5 More info: nhopendoors.com A full list of participating artists and craftspeople is available on the website. Stops include retail shops selling NH made goods, farm stands, a distiller, a winery and more.

strate my techniques and explain to people how I come up with my ideas and how I get the visual parts and the word parts to work together as one whole image,” Sanborn said. “A lot of artists and craftsmen love to share how they create their pieces, and I think it’s important for the public to see how they work.”

During Open Doors, Sanborn will be showing, selling and demonstrating her work along with five other artists at her gallery and studio, Twiggs Gallery at Cornerstone Design in Boscawen. Those artists will include a bead artist, book artist, mixed media artist, spinner and metalworker. In addition to ongoing demonstrations by the artists, Sanborn will do a special demonstration and free leaf book make-and-take activity on Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m.

For many artists and craftspeople, she said, NH Open Doors is the only time during the year that they open their personal studios to the public.

“We artists and craftsmen often work by ourselves, so it’s a lot of fun to have people come see where we work and show interest

20 Art

in our work and respond to it and and ask questions about it,” Sanborn said.

Another artist participating this year is Linda Dessaint, who will open the doors of her studio and gallery in Antrim. Dessaint does primarily impressionistic pastels and oil paintings, which include landscapes and nature imagery, figurative works, still life and pet portraits. For Open Doors, she will have a variety of works for sale, art in different stages of completion on display and demonstrations throughout the weekend.

“People will get to see my work from start to finish. They’ll get to see the materials I use, how I started a piece and where I’m going with it,” Dessaint said. “I love to show people what [creating art] is all about because they don’t always get that exposure.”

NH Open Doors is a unique event, she said, and highly anticipated by local artists and craftspeople like herself who work in smaller towns because it allows them to attract visitors who may not have discovered them otherwise.

“There are a lot of beautiful galleries and

stores and artists in the country that people don’t know about,” Dessaint said. “It can be fun finding all these different artists who are off to the wayside. It’s like a treasure hunt.”

Open Doors comes just in time for holiday shopping, Carter said, and offers a wide selection of unique handmade gifts along with the chance to see how the items are made.

“Handmade, local products are important to people now more than ever. People appreciate creativity, but a lot of them still have no idea how something is actually produced by the artist’s hands,” Carter said.

“This is an opportunity for them to not just buy something from a store, but to go to the artist’s intimate studio and actually see and learn about the work that goes into creating something.”

New this year, Open Doors will feature a social media contest in which tourists can post photos of their visits on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #NHOpenDoors2017 for a chance to win one of five League of NH Craftsmen gift certificates, which can be used at any of the eight League of NH Craftsmen Fine Craft Galleries located statewide or at the League headquarters gallery in Concord. Another way to earn a chance to win is to download the NH Open Doors passport form on the website to take on the tour and obtain signatures at each location visited. A minimum of five signatures is required to qualify, and passports must be scanned and emailed or mailed to the League by Nov. 27.

Carter has some advice for tourists looking to make the most of their Open Doors experience.

“Be flexible and adaptable. It’s amazing how much time it takes up. People plan it out and say they’re going to visit 10 places, but they only end up doing four or five because they get really involved with it and enjoy stopping to talk with the artists,” she said. “So just go where the day takes you.

It’s all about the journey.”

Murder mystery play invites audience participation

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Eat dinner and play detective at Lend Me a Theater’s latest production, Death By Dessert, happening Friday, Nov. 10, and Saturday, Nov. 11, in Manchester.

The interactive whodunit comedy dinner theater show is set outside two competing family-run Italian restaurants that share a common wall in New York’s Little Italy. When the building’s landlord turns up dead at center stage, all members of the Donnaducce and the Duccedonni families and their restaurant staff are suspects in his murder. It’s up to audience members — acting as customers at the restaurants for the night — to uncover the truth.

The evening starts with an Italian ziti dinner served at 6 p.m., followed by the show at 7:30 p.m. The story is narrated by the murder victim through a series of flashbacks. The first act will introduce the storyline and characters, then there will be an intermission during which a cannoli dessert will be served and the actors will go table to table talking with audience members while in character.

“You can ask them things like, ‘How long have you owned the restaurant?’ or Death By Dessert Where: The Falls Event Center, 21 Front St., Manchester When: Friday, Nov. 10, and Saturday, Nov. 11, 6 p.m.

‘Why didn’t you like the landlord?’ or any other questions to help you solve the case, and they’ll answer you as their character,” said Kat Abdelwahid, a Lend Me a Theater board member and an actor in the show.

“Even if [the actors] see people they know in the audience, they stay in character.”

At the end of the intermission, the audience will fill out ballots stating which character they believe committed the murder. The second half of the show will reveal the perpetrator.

because of the audience interaction element, the actors have to develop their characters beyond what is written for them in the script.

“You aren’t just an actor on stage. You’re a character. You have to carry that character through the show and through talking to the audience, so it’s really important that you develop the character as an actual person and know their history and why they act the way they do, so that you don’t end up falling back on yourself when you’re talking to people,” she said.

Each actor was required to create a full backstory for their character, which included choosing the New York City borough from which their character would hail. To

master the accents associated with their respective boroughs, Abdelwahid said, the actors watched many YouTube videos and films featuring characters that speak with those accents.

“It was fun watching all these funny movies that we grew up with like Moonstruck or My Cousin Vinny and learning the accents that way,” she said. “Pretty much anything with actors like Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei, we would watch.”

Audience interaction does pose some challenges for the cast; the unpredictable nature of the show means the actors need to be quick on their feet to respond to whatever the audience says to them while staying in character.

“The crowd is different every time.

That’s the tricky part. Some people interrogate you. Some people follow you around and give you a hard time. You just never know what someone will come out and ask, or how someone will react to something,” Director Mo Demers said. “That’s why it’s so important to have a backstory and to be comfortable with your character.

The script describes the character, and the director may say what they’re looking for, but everything after that is about improvisation skills.”

Jack Miller, a Lend Me a Theater board member and an actor in the show, said that from an actor’s standpoint, a show that invites audience participation is one of the most rewarding kinds of shows to perform in.

“When we interact with the audience, the audience loves it,” he said. “As an actor, it’s a huge joy to be able to include them and bring them in as part of the show.”

Training to be a galaxy-protecting knight is hard work. You need to be physically and mentally tough, committed to your task and, most importantly, you need to know how to wield a really coollooking lightsaber.

JD Lauriat of Goffstown started the Granite State Saber Academy in Nashua the academy last year to whip people into shape through theatrical combat, including the kind of combat that might be familiar to fans of the Star Wars movies.

“It’s nerd fitness,” said Lauriat.

There are two classes held each week, one in downtown Nashua and one in Concord at NHTI. Anyone at any skill level can drop into a $20 class and will be provided with a weapon and expert training. Lauriat teaches his students the basics of theatrical fighting so that by the end of an hour-long class they can

act out one whole fight scene with a partner.

“In that one class, you will go home and say, ‘I got to learn, practice and run a fight in the first class,’” said Lauriat.

The fights are choreographed and meant to emulate dramatic on-screen duels with over-the-top movements and visual style. Lauriat said most of the fight scenes in movies are unrealistic and impractical but are fun to perform and watch.

“I can teach you how to swing the sword, but can you act it? Can you make it look real? … Make it bigger, make it better, sell it,” said Lauriat.

arts since he was 11. Through training in the Uechi-ryu style, Lauriat got a taste for fighting with weapons. He continued training on his own and with friends, and years later Lauriat joined King Richard’s Faire, a Renaissance fair held in Carver, Mass.

“I learned from some really great stage combat directors there and that’s where I got my actual training from. … We used mostly steel swords,” Lauriat said.

GSSA isn’t only focused on Star Wars-style battles; it’s a combination of any stage combat that students are interested in, including medieval, martial arts, fantasy and Renaissance.

“Right now Star Wars is big, so we use lightsabers a lot,” said Lauriat.

A short warm-up workout is performed at the beginning of class and Lauriat moves into easy-to-learn attacks and defensive maneuvers.

Participants are then broken up into pairs where they can start to develop their own fight.

Lauriat said the rhythm of the combat keeps a pace that is good for cardio and the chances of actually getting hit are slim, unless it is planned.

“If you accidently take a lightsaber to the face … it’s not going to feel great, but it’s not the end of the world,” said Lauriat.

This was a good gardening year. Adequate rain, adequate sun. I know that I will have food from the vegetable garden that will allow me to eat something from it every day all year. Eating something every day from my garden is a bit of an obsession, but not all that hard to do. I am putting my root crops away for the winter now, and drying herbs.

My best crop this year was potatoes. In a 30-inch-wide (double) row that was nearly 50 feet long I harvested about 125 pounds of potatoes including five varieties. I had no potato beetles even though I used no pesticides, not even the organic Bt bacterial spray.

My tip for doing so? Plant late. By mid-June potato beetles have started eating something, somewhere else. Maybe they were munching my neighbors’ potatoes, I don’t know.

When researching a book project in 2002 I drove around the country visiting farms and talking to farmers. In Idaho I worked for three weeks as a farm hand on an organic farm that grew potatoes, among other things.

I learned that potatoes need to be stored in a cool environment with high humidity. Commercially that meant storing them right at 50 degrees. At cooler temperatures some of the starches are converted to sugars. That would mean that french fries — America’s favorite potato product — would tend to darken up too much. I don’t make fries, and I store my potatoes in a cold basement where they stay between 33 and 50 degrees.

Before I store my potatoes I harden them off outside for a few days. I place them on my north-facing deck, where they get a good breeze but not too much sun. I roll them over once a day so that all sides face up for a while.

If you don’t have a cold basement, get a spare fridge. These are often offered for sale used at $100 or less — and over the years I have gotten a couple free. They will keep root crops cool and keep mice from nibbling the harvest. If you keep it in the garage it will never run all winter, though you may need to add some heat inside it in January. A seedstarting heat mat will provide low heat for just a few pennies a week. Keep a thermometer inside it to monitor the temperature.

What else will store well in a fridge? Beets, carrots, rutabagas, kohlrabi and celeriac.

Leeks should store well, but don’t. Those I clean, cut up, pack in zipper bags and freeze.

Carrots will store well in the ground, but are targets for mice, so I pull them now.

Dried foods last all year, too. I dry tomatoes, herbs, apples, pears, berries and hot peppers.

Cherry tomatoes, cut in half, are easy to dry and add great flavor to soups, stews and stir-

Blue hubbard squash with Waltham butternut squash.

fries. Hot peppers I grind in the coffee grinder so that I can add just a little pepper powder to spice up a dish gently.

Any type of dehydrator will work fine, but the two I like best are the Excalibur and the Nesco American Harvester. The Excalibur is more efficient, but also more expensive to buy.

A cool dry location is good for storing garlic, onions and winter squash. Winter squash like Waltham butternuts and blue Hubbards will store until next summer under the right conditions. A cold spare bedroom is a good spot — 50 degrees is great. Some kinds of onions store better than others. Yellow onions store well, but start to sprout by spring. Then I use my frozen leeks to substitute for onions in cooked dishes.

Freezing garden produce is good, but a bit time-consuming. The easiest vegetables to freeze are tomatoes because they’re so easy to freeze. I just put clean tomatoes in a zipper bag and freeze whole, removing them to use in soups and stews like canned tomatoes.

And running hot water over a frozen tomatoes will separate the skin from the flesh in just a moment.

Most vegetables need to be briefly boiled before freezing, a minute or less. That is called blanching. But tomatoes, leeks, berries and peppers do not require blanching. Some gardeners blanch kale, while others do not.

Blanching kills aging enzymes in food, so if you are going to eat frozen vegetables within three months it probably is not needed. But if you want to eat kale, beans, broccoli or summer squash 6 months from when you picked it, blanching is recommended.

One last word on freezing. I recently read a paper from University of California at Davis that explained that I could freeze garlic. Just separate the cloves, put in a freezer bag and freeze. I’ve never done that, but I will try that this year as garlic tends to dry out or sprout after a few months. I have also dehydrated garlic and ground it into a powder.

However you store your food, having something from the garden to eat during a February blizzard will bring a smile to your face — or at least it does from me.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Hello Donna, This is a photo of an original indenturement. We would like to see what it could be appraised at. My grandfather bought it at an auction and it has been in the family ever since. We haven’t been able to find out much about the document. We were wondering if you would be able to help us appraise it.

Dear Michael, I can’t appraise it by the photo or even authenticate it. I can try to give you advice on how to do so, though. Antique paper (ephemera) is a field of its own.

Your paper, being an indenturement, was probably a more common form of agreement back in the days between people to deed out land (lease or sale). So unless it refers to someone of historical significance it probably doesn’t carry much value to it.

But, as I said, I am not the last word on it.

My recommendation to you would be to have someone directly in the field of documents look at it to confirm it’s even from the stated period of time, rather than a copy, and to determine whether it’s of any importance. I think then you would have an accurate appraisal of it. I think before investing money into a formal appraisal

you should do more research to see what else is out there that is similar (real or reproduced), and what their values are.

I hope you find it is a treasure. But even if it’s not it will be an education into antique paper.

A taste of craftsmanship Cuisine meets crafts at Taste of the League

by the quality of craftsmanship.

“It’s a refinement of the work. The voice of the craftsman is distinct. The quality represents excellence in the field of craft,” said Carter.

Carter said the exhibits regularly rotate work because of the growing number of juried members who have recently joined the League.

“On the broader scope ... we are very much a part of what’s happenMIRIAM CARTER ing, [as] Concord is really becoming a cultural entity in the state. People come here to see art,” said Carter.

Carter was a craftsman herself for many years and knows the impact that location can have on art.

“New Hampshire was a beautiful place to create work. It’s inspirational to be in a beautiful place, and Concord is becoming a cultural arts center,” said Carter.

We represent all the craftsmen who create [usuable art] and make a home much more special.

117677

The functional work of juried craftsmen and the cuisine of local food and drink purveyors will come together at the League of N.H. Craftsmen’s Taste of the League Series event, happening Thursday, Nov. 9.

The craftwork includes handmade serving plates, drinking vessels, bowls and baskets filled with locally made cuisine including entrees, craft beers and wine.

Miriam Carter, the executive director of the league, said the event aims to give people a taste of what functional fine crafts can do.

Guests will get to eat from plates and bowls made and donated by 45 juried craftsmen. There will be a wide variety of styles, from wooden bowls and plates to blown-glass cups.

“We encourage living with craft. ... It’s part of your environment. We represent all the craftsmen who create [useable art] and make a home much more special,” said Carter.

To fill the pieces with food and drink, Carter said, the League reached out to local restaurants and breweries.

“We are grateful that people stepped up and offered to be part of it. ... We have a wonderful, wide range of [cuisine] representation,” said Carter.

Some of the restaurants featured at the event include Blackwater Mustard Co., Chen Yang Li, The Common Man Restaurant, Constantly Pizza, The Grazing Room at Colby Hill Inn, Hermanos Cocina Mexicana, In A Pinch Cafe & Bakery, North Country Smokehouse and more. Craft brews will be brought by Concord Craft Brewing Co. and wine sampling will be brought by Crush Distributors.

Guests can participate in a silent auction during the event and bid on the items they used during the course of the meal. Many of the craftsmen whose work will be featured will be there to talk about their craft.

The League’s two main exhibits will remain open during the event so guests can see the range of work done by committed members of the craftsmen community. Carter distinguishes the work of the league’s 750 juried craftsmen from common crafts

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Is mechanic’s throttle body recommendation legit?

Dear Car Talk: What the heck is a throttle body? We have a 2007 Toyota 4Runner with 85,000 miles and a 2011 Toyota Venza with 45,000 miles. Our local ToyBy Ray Magliozzi ota dealer is pushing us to service the “throttle body.” I agreed to do it on the 4Runner, but I want to check with you before agreeing to have the throttle body serviced on the Venza. Is this service mandated by Toyota? — Gary No. It’s not mandated by Congress, either, Gary, despite what you may have read in school about the FartkowskySchnurrer Throttle Body Cleaning Act of 1915.

The throttle body is the device that regulates the amount of air that the engine is sucking in. When you step on the gas pedal, it sends a signal to the computer, which then sends a signal to a little electric motor in the throttle body.

That electric motor moves the throttle plate and allows more or less air into the engine — depending on the position of the gas pedal.

Over time, the inside of the throttle

body can get crudded up with carbon, and that can make the throttle plate get sticky and close unevenly. But if your throttle body had enough carbon in it to make your throttle plate sticky, you’d notice it: You’d notice a rough idle, surging or hesitation and stumbling when stepping on the gas. But you didn’t mention any of those things.

Plenty of cars go their entire lives without needing to have the throttle body cleaned. So I’m a little skeptical that your dealer wants to do it to both of your cars. I think you might be getting YOUR throttle body cleaned, Gary.

If you’re interested, ask the dealer why you need your throttle body cleaned. If he tells you he just recommends it as preventive maintenance, tell him thanks, but you’d rather buy a year of HBO. If he tells you he inspected it and saw carbon buildup, that’s at least a little more legitimate. But I’d still put it off until and unless you experience performance issues. It’ll cost you no more to clean the throttle body then, if that time ever comes, than it will cost you now.

Dear Car Talk: My 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee has

187,000 miles on it. I bought it new.

What is a reasonable lifetime for shocks?

I’ve been told to keep them if they aren’t leaking.

Mine don’t have signs of leakage, but the car does not ride as it first did. I’ve replaced the tires with ones with softer sidewalls, and have replaced the springs.

Both have helped the ride, but should I be replacing the shocks as well? Many thanks! — Jon Jon, you should have written to me five years ago.

Actually, there’s no time limit on the life of a shock absorber; its lifespan depends on how much and what type of use it gets. If you do mostly highway driving, it’s conceivable that your shocks are still OK. It would be unusual, but conceivable.

Since the shocks aren’t leaking, then you have to give them the classic “bounce test”: You start at one corner of the car, and push down as hard as you can on the bumper. When you’ve pushed it down as far as you can, let the bumper come back up and immediately push it hard again — trying to amplify the movement. It’s like pushing a kid on a swing. The idea is to really get that corner of the car oscillat-

ing up and down as violently as you can.

Then, when it’s really moving — or when you begin to feel the first signs of angina, whichever comes first — push it all the way down and let it go. If the shock is good, that corner of the car will come back up once and stop immediately, and not oscillate. If it continues to go up and down at all, the shock is worn out.

I have to say that we replace shocks far less frequently than we used to.

We used to routinely replace shocks at 30,000 or 40,000 miles. And now it’s not at all unusual to have cars with well over 100,000 miles that still don’t need replacement shocks.

Still, I think you’re at the far end of the bell curve, Jon. And even if you replace the shocks, you can’t reasonably expect the car to ever ride as it first did. Remember, it’s 13 years old — old enough to have pimples and a first girlfriend. So pretty much everything is somewhat worn out.

So if you want a new-car ride, look at the 2018 Grand Cherokee. But in the meantime, give your shocks the bounce test. Good luck.

• Reopen for business: Wellington’s Marketplace (124 N. Main St., Concord, 715-1191, wellingtonsmarketplace. com) reopened on Sept. 26 under the ownership of father and son Bill and Trey Brennan. The Brennans bought the restaurant on Sept. 7 after it had been up for sale for about three months. According to Trey Brennan, everything that had been featured on the restaurant’s previous menu will continue to be available, including the popular Korean pork burrito and a wide selection of wines and cheeses from all over the world.

Wellington’s Marketplace also features daily specials of sandwiches and soups, like the Cuban sandwich with housemade pickles, roasted pork, smoked ham, Swiss cheese and Dijon mustard, and the curry butternut squash bisque. Brennan said the plan is to focus more on soup specials throughout the colder months. Wellington’s Marketplace is open Monday and Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

• Dine out: More than 40 Seacoast area restaurants will be participating in this year’s Restaurant Week Portsmouth & the Seacoast, which begins on Thursday, Nov. 2, and lasts through Saturday, Nov. 11.

Hundreds of some of the rarest whiskeys, tequilas, rums and vodkas will be available to try under one roof during the Distiller’s Showcase of Premium Spirits in Manchester.

The fifth annual event, taking place on Thursday, Nov. 9, will also feature food samplings of dozens of Granite State restaurants — and, for the first time, several companion events throughout the week leading up to the showcase, like a bourbon and chocolate tasting, a bourbon dinner and auction, and a cocktail and mocktail competition.

The showcase

Spirits marketing and sales specialist Mark Roy of the New Hampshire State Liquor Commission, which organizes the event, said the showcase has quickly grown into one of the largest tasting events for spirits on the East Coast. Last year’s showcase attracted nearly 1,000 people.

“The showcase basically was born out of the Winter Wine Spectacular [in Manchester],” Roy said. “I had attended the event and thought to myself, why not do an event focusing on spirits? The first year was very well received, and it’s grown considerably over the past four years.”

All of the participating restaurants are from New Hampshire, according to Roy. Distillers and brand ambassadors come from both the Granite State — Flag Hill Distillery & Winery in Lee and Tamworth Distilling, for example — and all over the world, like Grey Goose and Jack Daniel’s.

Spirits you might encounter encompass a variety of flavors, like blueberry rum, cinnamon whiskey, coconut spiced rum cream, cranberry, lemon or peach vodka and much more. Roy said the showcase allows for opportunities to meet and have direct conversations with vendors on how the spirits are made.

“We give guests a program booklet … and each of the tables of spirits are numbered, so it’s good to have an idea of what you want to focus on,” he said. “You certainly have a clientele there [of spirit drinkers], but you also have novice people who wouldn’t otherwise try something new.”

The Liquor Commission has developed a mobile-ordering app for people interested in buying spirits onsite that comes with a 10-percent discount. The purchases will be available for pickup at any of the New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet locations.

“Spirits Week”

Roy said several new events are being introduced leading up to the showcase.

“Our focus was to try to build it out into ‘Spirits Week,’” he said.

A live cocktail and mocktail competition will be held on Monday, Nov. 6, at 5:30 p.m. at the New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet at Willow Springs Plaza in Nashua. The competition will take place in front of a live audience, with a panel of judges awarding the winner with an all-expenses-paid trip to Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tenn.

On Tuesday, Nov. 7, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Fratello’s Italian Grille in Manchester, the Liquor Commission will host a bourbon and chocolate tasting event. The tasting will feature hand-selected barrels of Woodford Reserve Personal Selection Bourbon paired with chocolate courtesy of Richard Tango-Lowy of Dancing Lion Chocolate in Manchester. Tickets are $65 and include hors d’oeuvres, a signature Woodford

The Hanover Street Chophouse in Manchester will host an exclusive Pappy Van Winkle Tasting Dinner on Wednesday, Nov. 8. Guests of the Showcase will also get a chance to bid on the bourbon, as well as a trip to The Dalmore Distillery in Scotland.

Apple pie, macaroni and cheese, and black bean and ravioli are just a few of the more unusual pizza toppings you might find at this year’s PizzaFest, where you can taste all you want and vote on your favorites.

The 9th annual all-you-can-eat pizza tasting event, which will feature around 20 pizza flavors made by several local restaurants, is happening on Saturday, Nov. 4, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover.

“People can go around and taste and try different pizzas all night,” said Carolyn Hogan, development coordinator for the museum and PizzaFest organizer. “It’s a great family event for both adults and kids.”

According to Hogan, all the participating restaurants are from the Dover area.

She said each is required to bring at least three different types of pizzas: a regular cheese pizza, a popular topping on their menu regular, and a third creative topping.

“We call it an ‘off menu’ pizza, and they can be as creative as they want,” she said.

“We’ve had all kinds of entries over the years.”

Embers Bakery of Dover, for example, will be serving a Thanksgiving-style pizza made with turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, scallions, a cranberry glaze, turkey and mozzarella, in addition to a regular menu pizza they offer that is made with olive oil, garlic, sliced tomatoes, prosciutto, mozzarella and a balsamic glaze.

Other ‘off menu’ flavors in the past have included everything from macaroni and cheese pizza to an apple pie pizza, Hogan said.

You can even cast your vote for the best pizza, which will be tallied at the end of the night. Hogan said this year’s categories are Most Creative Toppings, Kids’ Choice and Grown-Ups’ Choice. A judging panel of three local chefs will also be there to present awards of their own, for Best Pizza, Best Crust and Most Creative Toppings.

This year’s participating judges are Katie Morris, owner and decorator of Three Sisters Cake Shop in Dover; Michael Prete, owner and chef of The Kitchen Restaurant Group; and Marty Rumley, sous chef of Louie’s and the Portsmouth Catering Co. “Each of the winners … gets a lovely framed certificate,” Hogan said. “Some of the restaurants have been doing it for seven or eight years and display their certificates if they’ve won more than once, so

Tasty infusions

Workshop combines cordial & chocolate truffle making

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Learn new approaches to make-it-yourself gift giving at a special workshop combining cordial-making with chocolate truffles at Canterbury Shaker Village.

The Cordials & Chocolates workshop, which will be taught by clinical herbalist Maria Noel Groves of Wintergreen Botanicals in Allenstown, will be held on Saturday, Nov. 11, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“This is actually going to be a mashup of two separate classes that I teach,” Groves said. “I decided to combine the cordialmaking class with the class on how to make chocolate truffles … because cordials are really fast to teach, but truffle-making often has more downtime.”

Groves said the hands-on class will start with a lecture on the basics of cordials and the health benefits of chocolates with herbal infusions. There are several kinds of herbs that combine well with chocolate, like peppermint, ginger, vanilla, lavender, cinnamon, basil and more, many of which will be explored during the class. These herbs are infused into the cream used to make the truffles before it’s melted and hardened inside the chocolate.

“Cordials are really easy [to make],” Groves said. “The truffles are more involved and take longer, but they are still not that difficult, so there’s no prior recommendation or skill level that I require for the class.”

Cordials & Chocolates workshop When: Saturday, Nov. 11, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Where: Canterbury Shaker Village, 288 Shaker Road, Canterbury Cost: $60 general admission, or $50 for Village members. Ticket includes all materials and supplies.

Participants will bounce back and forth between the chocolate truffle making and the cordial-making while the herbs are being infused inside the chocolate. Groves said students will craft their own 4-ounce cordials using a variety of ingredients, like lemongrass, pear, apple, cranberry, ginger and various fennel-like spices. Cordials are made by combining fruits, herbs, sweetener and alcohol in a jar.

Due to liquor restrictions, Groves said participants will need to add the alcohol to their cordials at home. Most good-quality vodkas work fine, she said.

“There are different ways to make cordials,” Groves said. “Most people will sip them in a shot glass or a cordial glass … or you can add them to a seltzer or a cocktail, or even dribble them over ice cream or a pound cake.”

All materials to make the chocolates and cordials will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring any of their own. Groves said the class has become popular with people who are interested in taking a creative approach around the holiday season.

“These are great recipes … for people to make and give as gifts that they’ll bring out at Thanksgiving or Christmas,” she said. the jar is 1/3 to ½ full of syrup. Fill to the brim with the vodka. Shake well, then shake daily. Taste after two days, and strain through a metal hand-strainer when it tastes good to you. This cordial is usually ready within 2 to 7 days, though it can sit much longer. Store in a cool, dark, dry spot, like your liquor cabinet. Sip in a cordial glass or add to seltzer as a digestif. *To make syrup, gently simmer two parts sugar in one part water until all the sugar is dissolved. This will keep for at least one month in the fridge.

FOOD

FROM THE

pantry

Ideas from off the shelf

Chicken, spinach and brie There aren’t many things in this world that I love more than cheese, except maybe puff pastry. While it’s not packed with flavor, the thin, buttery and flaky sheets of dough are versatile and great for whipping up a picture-perfect dish without spending hours in the kitchen. Want to impress some picky dinner guests or make a “fancy” dinner for a special occasion? Wrap just about anything in puff pastry and voila.

This recipe is no exception. While it’s admittedly more freezer-friendly than pantry-friendly, this recipe comes together in a snap and is baked to golden-brown perfection in around 20 minutes. For me, that’s a weeknight win. The recipe I had picked out for this week was originally a brie and spinach frittata. But when I realized no one else in my family was going to eat that dish, I started looking through my pantry and freezer to see what else I could toss together using the $5.99-perhalf-pound brick of brie that I bought at the store. While I wasn’t opposed to just slicing it up and smearing it on some crackers or toast, I wanted to put together a meal the whole family could love.

I found some puff pastry in the freezer, and the recipe on the back of that box was for spinach and bacon pinwheels. While I didn’t have bacon, I did have chicken, and I Chicken, spinach and brie puff pastry Recipe adapted from The Cooking Actress 1 cup spinach, chopped 1 egg, beaten Salt and pepper, and additional seasonings if desired Brie 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed, if frozen) 1 chicken breast, seasoned as desired

also had spinach in the freezer. Armed with the chicken, spinach, brie and puff pastry, I figured I could whip up something easily.

I quick internet search for spinach and brie puff pastries resulted in an abundance of recipes. I decided to pick my favorite parts from each and combine them into something new. I started by setting the puff pastry out to thaw. Meanwhile, I defrosted the frozen spinach and cooked the chicken in garlic and Italian seasonings until it was just under-done. I cut the puff pastry into diagonal strips (leaving the middle intact) so I could fold over the pieces of the pastry onto the mixture that would rest down the middle. Into the center of that puff pastry, I added the spinach, brie and chicken. I folded the puff pastry onto itself, alternating sides, and coated the pastry with an egg wash before popping it in the oven.

I cranked the oven up to 450 degrees and only had to wait about 15 minutes until the puff pastry was golden brown and the brie was melted. One bite into the pastry and I was in heaven. The bitterness of the spinach offset some of the buttery flavor from the pastry, and the creamy brie was the perfect complement to the crunch from the pastry. Overall, this hodge-podge recipe proved to be a winner and was delicious to the last cheesy bite. — Lauren Mifsud Thaw puff pastry. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. If using frozen spinach, defrost and pat dry (can also use fresh roughly chopped).

Cook chicken until just under-done. In a bowl, combine spinach and half the beaten egg, as well as any desired seasonings. Cut the puff pastry into diagonal strips (evenly on both sides) leaving the center intact. To the middle of the puff pastry, add the spinach mixture, chicken and brie. “Braid” the pastry by folding alternating sides over the middle of the pastry. Bake about 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Even if you are not a big beer drinker, you have seen the evolution of the beer scene in New Hampshire and New England. Instead of six-packs and 12-packs, people bring growlers of local, brewery-fresh beers to gettogethers. When you go to a restaurant or bar, people are scanning the tap list for the local options. And you have probably heard people — whose company you used to enjoy — discussing things like dry-hopping and hop strains and bitterness units. We have all seen it and heard it because it’s all around us, and it’s exciting. Most of it is exciting, anyway.

I visited the Denver area about a year or so ago and there’s very nearly a brewery on every corner. Obviously, we’re not there yet in New Hampshire, but it sure feels like we’re heading in that direction.

The New Hampshire Brewers Association isn’t leaving anything up to chance. On Friday, Nov. 10, at the University of New Hampshire, the New Hampshire Brewers Association is hosting its first New Hampshire Craft Brew Conference, boasting workshops, seminars, networking opportunities, and one-on-one discussions with industry leaders on a variety of topics, including sourcing grains/hops, distribution, quality control, licensing/permits, integrated marketing, taproom management and craft brewery startup, sustainability, and management. Attendees will hear from keynote speaker and craft beer industry icon

NH Craft Brew Conference

Extraordinary Ingredients, Remarkable Chocolates Freshly Made by Master Candy Makers for Three Generations

Since 1927

By Jeff Mucciarone

Every craft beer lover has at least thought — maybe just whimsically — about opening a brewery. Well, as part of the New Hampshire Craft Brew Conference, the New Hampshire Brewers Association is hosting a New Hampshire Craft Brewing Startup Workshop, a four-night, 16-hour workshop teaching prospective brewers the ins and outs of the craft brewery industry. Along with CJ White of the New Hampshire Brewers Association, instructors include brewers and owners from New Hampshire craft beer leaders, including 7th Settlement, Henniker Brewing Co., Liars Bench, Stoneface Brewing Co., Throwback Brewery, and UNH’s Brewery Program. The full workshop costs $525 and includes admission to the New Hampshire Brew Conference.

“We want to stress this is a regional event; any brewer, hobbyist, craft-centric business, wholesaler, vendor, taproom staff or restaurant is welcome to attend,” said CJ White, executive director of the New Hampshire Brewers Association. “The more folks passionate about the craft beer industry that attend the better. Being the first event of its kind in the state, [this conference] presents a unique opportunity for us to showcase the talent behind New Hampshire’s beer culture and raise awareness for its economic impact on the Granite State.”

I think it’s probably safe to say there will be some beer at this conference, but this isn’t a beer tasting festival. Beer festivals are wonderful, but this is about growing, developing and enhancing New Hampshire and New England’s craft beer industry and trade. And for beer lovers, that’s downright exhilarating.

New Hampshire’s brewing scene, while fantastic, is really still in its infancy compared to places like Denver or Portland, Maine. But there really isn’t anything holding it back.

Jeff Mucciarone is a senior account executive with Montagne Communications, where he provides communications support to the New Hampshire wine and spirits industry.

What’s in My Fridge Harpoon Flannel Friday Hoppy Amber Ale: Harpoon has always had a special place in my heart. If you are from New England, your first (positive) exposure to the India Pale Ale was probably the Harpoon IPA. As such, I credit Harpoon for starting the IPA movement that has taken the craft beer world by storm.

Too strong? Maybe it is. But I would politely ask you to name me another IPA — that you actually enjoyed — from a New England brewery back in the early 2000s. Flannel Friday is an interesting brew, with a fairly rich malt and a mouthful of crisp, but not overly bitter hops. My dad said, “This is fantastic.”

Case closed. Cheers!

To let us know about

You’ll have to forgive my being late to the party on this one, being that this Frankenmuth, Michigan, hard-rock foursome didn’t pick up a capable PR person until just recently. Named after an old lady from the neighborhood, these four dudes are said to be a second coming of Van Halen, but with Led Zeppelin riffage, something to make people forget bands like Wolf Alice (I already have). Hate to say it but I’ll be forgetting this one too. The single “Highway Tune” is everything that was boring about Zep’s Physical Graffiti album, meaning yes, the singer can karaoke Robert Plant’s early helium-inhaling sound (which is a start, don’t get me wrong), but riff-wise it’s “The Rover” but faster. “Safari Song” fares a little better with the addition of some ’70s-radio slide guitar and a much better hook, but the drums are miked and played identical to John Bonham’s methods, and the whole thing sounds like a tune that Zeppelin II didn’t have room for. And come on, “Flower Power” is just “Hey Hey What Can I Do” with a fake beard. C+ — Eric W. Saeger

There’s a very bright, clean sound on this debut album from Janklow, a Los Angeles-based alto saxophonist who released this LP with crowdfunding support from Indiegogo.

Some new ground is broken here as far as cool jazz vibe; Janklow’s like a young Lee Konitz, full of pep, vigor and measured optimism, which is all nice and whatnot, but he’s not afraid to toss a chaotic, new-jack knuckleball into the mix (the trippy coda of “Roastmaster” will make you look up to see if your music player just cracked in half). It’s a nice, next-gen way to make people look up from all the Weather Channel lazing, and maybe these bold new West Coast guys will take the next step and cobble up some hypnotic sampling that’d fit, not that anyone ever listens to me. Whatever, I’m content with it as is — there’s only the slightest hint that a few of his hardy runs gave him headaches during practice, and hey, there’s vibraphone here and there, a sound I never thought I’d be able to stand again after all that mid-Aughts hipster rock. A— Eric W. Saeger

• Casper Skulls is a Toronto band that apparently digs old 1980s-post-punk bands, which you can tell because the single “You Can Call Me Allocator,” from their debut album Mercy Works, sounds like a cross between Joy Division and old Pixies. I’m pretty sure there are something like 142,789 bands doing this same trip, but apparently this one is important for some reason. It comes out Nov. 3, or it’s supposed to, and there are already a bunch of music blogs whining because this single doesn’t have as much punch as the material that was on their first EP. I’m fine with it, for the record, even if it’s pretty disposable. You really have to wonder when a 1990s wave is just going to take over, not that that’d be anything to look forward to either.

• Another debut LP streeting on Nov. 3 is Ojalá from Lost Horizons, the collaboration between Cocteau Twins’ Simon Raymonde & Dif Juz’s Richie Thomas. The current pushsingle is “The Places We’ve Been,” a mid-tempo, almost Police-like beat laid underneath vocals from Innocent Mission singer Karen Peris, who sounds like a mousy Michelle Branch or a fully awake Dido. This one will probably be underappreciated, but if it does get past the underappreciated stage that’d be too much.

• Geez, about time, a nice rebellious punk record from AntiFlag, called American Fall! What took them so long? Is it actually rebellious or Kendall Jenner rebellious? And plus, who’s Anti-Flag anyway? That’s a rebellious name for a band — did they tour with X-Ray Spex in 1980? Wait, this is an emo — I mean a power pop band! What message are these loud but cookie-cutter bozos offering, to help me be a punk? I don’t know, because I can’t understand anything they’re saying in the single, “American Attraction,” although there is an unspoken message that says “We think Panic at the Disco is awesome, but Cro-Mags are cool also!” So much for that, hah?

• Welsh alt-rock bellowers Stereophonics have their 10th LP, Scream Above the Sounds, heading your way as we speak!

One of the tunes is “Caught by the Wind,” sort of like Goo Goo Dolls, but not as great, and, additionally, somewhat like INXS but not as soulful. The song’s cool, don’t get me wrong, but needs more, I don’t know, good stuff in it.

What started as a monthly publishing seminar and discussion group for authors at a library has evolved into an annual community event celebrating children’s literature.

Twenty-one local and regional children’s book authors and illustrators will come together for the Children’s Author Festival presented

by Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth on Saturday, Nov. 4.

Now in its third year, the event will feature readings, book signings and meet-and-greets with the authors and illustrators, books available for purchase, games, book-related activities and raffle prizes.

“It’s going to be a great day to explore children’s books and get in touch with local artists and writers,” said JoAnn Adinolfi, a participating author and illustrator and the featured speaker at this year’s festival. “It’s not often that kids get to meet local authors and illustrators; we often work in isolation, so this is a great opportunity for everyone to meet and get to know each other.”

Adinolfi will kick off the event with a reading from her newest book, The Chilly Adventures of Mr. Small, a drawing demonstration and a talk about the writing and illustrating process.

The Chilly Adventures of Mr. Small is the second book in Adinolfi’s Mr. Small series, which follows a hamster who escapes his cage and embarks on various adventures in the big world. It was inspired, Adinolfi said, by life in New Hampshire.

“Mr. Small goes out and has fun adventures in the snow like skiing and a snowball fight and making a snow-hamster,” she said.

“The snow has become a big part of my life since I’ve lived in New Hampshire, so I knew I had to write a book about snow.”

While many of the featured books are widely available at bookstores or can be ordered online, the festival allows people to discover and purchase books by local authors that aren’t necessarily in the national spotlight.

“It’s an opportunity to see what’s out there locally and to see books that you don’t usually see, usually with some regional interest,” event organizer and participating author Susan Benedict said.

Kids will receive a bingo card that they can bring around to each author they visit and get that author’s signature. For every set of three signatures, the cardholder earns a ticket for a chance to win one of the many raffle prizes

“It’s a way to help encourage the kids to approach the authors and engage with them,” Benedict said.

Adinolfi said she’s impressed every year by the kids’ enthusiasm and level of interest in learning more about the books and how they were created.

“There are some kids that just say ‘Hi’ and hand me their [bingo] card [to sign], but a lot of them actually ask me all kinds of questions like what my books are about, what my favorite book is, how I made a particular illustration, how I ‘draw so good,’ if I like being a writer — things like that,” she said. “It’s a very interactive event.”

Benedict said the authors and illustrators at the festival are a testament to the idea that anything is possible, and that there are grown-ups who followed their dreams and are doing something they’re passionate about.

“It allows the kids to see the authors who write these books as real people, just like them,” Benedict said, “and I think it’s extremely helpful for kids who might aspire to do things that seem unattainable and kids who say, ‘I can’t do that,’ to see other people in the process of doing those things.”

Turtle Alveston knows her upbringing isn’t like everybody else’s. Her single father, Martin, has been teaching her to shoot guns since she was 6 years old. By age 14 she’s close to becoming an expert marksman, and she has the wilderness skills that Martin believes are necessary for an inevitable apocalypse of humanity’s own making. Their home is in an isolated part of Mendocino, California. The interior is riddled with bullet holes from Turtle’s weekly target practices, and Turtle’s “bed” is a sleeping bag on a plywood platform. Every morning, Turtle tosses Martin a beer and tells him he doesn’t need to wait for the bus with her, and every night, Martin carries Turtle to his own room and sexually assaults her.

To read an emotionally fraught story such as this one, one must approach it with hackles raised. Gabriel Tallent handles the subject delicately. My Absolute Darling is told in a close third person so the reader always knows what Turtle is thinking, yet maintains a certain distance from some of the more difficult scenes. Nevertheless, the immediacy of the threats imposed upon Turtle are frightfully gripping, making it difficult to put the book down without feeling like you’re abandoning her. Though it could have been easy for Tallent to misstep in describing how a teenage abuse victim would react in these situations, Tallent paints Turtle as a strong-willed character who is learning to examine the simultaneous love and hate she feels for the man who raised her.

Turtle’s rich character growth is immensely satisfying to read. At the beginning of the book, the reason for Turtle’s self-imposed name is obvious; she hides behind a hardened exterior.

At school, she snarls at girls who try to befriend her and disparages the teachers who try to help her with her schoolwork and her home life. But as the novel pro-

gresses, she finds herself fascinated by two boys her age, Jacob and Brett, and she’s surprised that she wants to spend time with them. Incrementally, she realizes that she doesn’t have to accept the world as Martin taught her, and she’s allowed to care about other people. She grapples with whether she believes things because Martin says so, or because she truly believes them, and these internal debates are realistically slow-burning. Tallent crafts a realistic portrayal of a young woman who is reevaluating her whole worldview.

It’s a painful and zigzagging process, but through it she becomes her own person.

Ironically, because Martin trains Turtle on how to build shelter in the forest, how to hunt rabbit, and how to splint her own broken bones, Turtle is well-equipped to strike out on her own across the rough California terrain. Nature provides Turtle with the solace her home life lacks.

Sometimes Turtle will hike for days with vague intentions of going back home but instead will test the limits of how far she can stray before Martin tracks her down.

The more Turtle displays her wilderness skills, and the more she grows to care about other characters, the more you wonder why she feels the need to stick by Martin’s side.

Tallent traverses the difficult line where abuse victims can simultaneously recognize the danger of their situation but feel trapped, or worse, feel it’s what they deserve. The second half of the book reads like a gut-wrenching thriller novel as Turtle increasingly wants to escape her situation, and once Martin senses this, he raises the stakes. This could have easily been a novel in extremely poor taste for traumatic things to happen to a main female character while she didn’t have any agency to do anything about them.

Instead, Tallent provides Turtle with the determination and grit to save herself, but also with the caring and awkwardness of a teenager trying to find her place in the world. A — Katherine Ouellette

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Jigsaw (R)

Horror franchises are apparently unkillable, so suggests Jigsaw, the eighth movie in the Saw universe.

And even if you killed him off movies ago, your main character can still make a showing, so proves John Kramer, a.k.a. Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), the murderer behind the dumb bicycle-riding clown toy and the overly elaborate killing methods that supposedly give his victims a chance to atone for their sins. When police start finding mangled bodies with Jigsaw markings, they wonder if Kramer, who died a decade earlier, has a copycat.

Intercut with the extremely shoddy investigative work of Detective Halloran (Callum Keith Rennie) and only marginally less shoddy work of Detective Hunt (Clé Bennett) are scenes of five (and then four and then three...) people chased through a death maze

by Jigsaw’s voice and booby traps. Medical examiner Logan Nelson (Matt Passmore) and his weirdo assistant Eleanor (Hannah Emily Anderson) eventually confirm that DNA found on one victim matches the longdead Kramer. Is he killing from beyond the grave? Or is Kramer’s method being used by another, perhaps another one of the very few characters the movie bothered to think up and give a name to?

What kind of movie is Jigsaw really? “Horror” seems to be the consensus but, once you get beyond the presence of rusty farm implements and low lighting, there’s nothing very horror-like about Jigsaw. (“Horrible” yes — the acting, the writing, the plot.) The shtick of the elaborate death-o-matics is that they nearly always kill somebody. So there’s no real suspense about whether or not people will die. I guess you could say there’s a mystery in who is the secret Jigsaw follower; for most of the sequels the Kramer character has had at least one accomplice (being dead for several movies requires you to delegate). Except the movie’s actors are not nearly skillful enough to pull off the “maybe they are or maybe they’re not a killer” vibe. They all seem to be sketchy weirdos and the movie doesn’t figure out how to make me care which sketchy weirdo might be a murderer.

There’s also nothing particularly scary

Opening Wednesday, Nov. 1: A Bad Moms Christmas (R) The individual talents of and chemistry between Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis and Kathryn Hahn make me cautiously optimistic for this sequel.

Jigsaw

about Jigsaw. It doesn’t shock, even in the cheap jump-scare way. It doesn’t make the shadows scary or make you think about the terror of “pure evil,” the way even a justOK horror movie like Annabelle: Creation does. In this age of smarter horror (your Get Out or your Happy Death Day) it feels very strange, very early 2000s to see a horror movie that doesn’t try to do anything other than just kill unmemorable people in overly fussy ways. DRated R for grisly bloody violence, and torture, and for language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig with a screenplay by Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg, Jigsaw is an hour and 31 minutes long and distributed by Lionsgate Film.

Thank You For Your Service (R)

Soldiers returning from Iraq struggle to receive help for physical and mental traumas in Thank You For Your Service.

Adam Schumann (Miles Teller) returns home from Iraq with buddies Billy Waller (Joe Cole) and Tausolo Aieti (Beulah Koale). Though all three are excited, we get the sense that both Adam and Tausolo, called Solo, have had the homecoming experience before and know it can be rough. Also, as Adam later tells his wife Saskia (Haley

ly even-more optimistic for this movie.

Quick Takes Wasted! The Story of Food Waste (NR) If you find the swearing bravado of Anthony Bourdain oddly comforting on his Sunday night CNN show Parts Unknown, this documentary, coming in under an hour and a half, may be similarly enjoyable to you, even if it

HIPPO | NOVEMBER 2 - 8, 2017 | PAGE 50

makes you hungry (for junk fish and vegetable scraps mouthwateringly prepared by his chef buddies) and guilty about the too-old lettuce you just threw away. Bourdain takes a delightfully unscoldy approach to explaining why food waste happens, what can be done about it and how a few people are making money and creating deliciousness from it. (I’m not even a beer drinker and I was all set to

Bennett), this most recent deployment was particularly difficult.

The hits start almost immediately. Billy comes home to find an empty apartment with the electricity turned off and his fiancee and her young daughter gone. Solo is happy to see his wife Alea (Keisha Castle-Hughes) but looks uneasy when she tells him she wants to have a baby. He hasn’t yet told her that he plans to return to Iraq.

Though Adam’s situation seems happier — a loving wife and children (including a baby son born while he was away), there are difficulties. Their finances are not great. The family is living in a smaller rental home, having rented out the home they own to cover the mortgage. Saskia is clearly stressed from the strain of caring for two children by herself.

She’s looking for some relief from Adam but she also catches on pretty quickly that he is not entirely well when he returns.

Solo also realizes he’s not himself. He doesn’t get cleared to return to Iraq and is eventually diagnosed with traumatic brain injury, which is causing him increasing memory, focus and emotional problems. Both Solo and Adam decide to get help for their PTSD and other issues but the veterans’ care apparatus proves difficult to navigate. Long lines and long waits for service face even those with urgent problems and suicidal thoughts.

Solo finds that, due to a paperwork mishap, he doesn’t even have an official record of hav-

ing been on the mission that led to his injury and thus can’t get help until he proves that he received the battle injury for which the Army has already denied him future deployments.

The movie does a good job in demonstrating that thanking troops for their service means specific, tangible support with health care (physical and mental) for soldiers and financial and emotional help for their families. I like that the movie doesn’t offer easy answers or have obvious villains on this score (with the exception of a clueless older officer who seems to urge Adam away from seeking help because of some vague sense it could hurt morale). We quickly see that everybody — the soldiers, their wives, the families of those who don’t return — is under strain and the movie treats their concerns with equal weight.

Thank You For Your Service is rather skillfully put together. The movie generally goes for the lighter touch, the smaller rather than the bigger moment, and that helps give what it does with the characters more impact.

And the actors do a good job making those characters into believably, imperfectly real people. For the second time in as many weeks, I’m reminded that I like Miles Teller and what he brings to his roles (I feel like it’s the Fantastic Four/Divergent movies that made me forget this). He does a good job here of playing a guy who wants to get “back to normal,” whatever that turns out to be, but can’t shake the trauma of combat. And realizes that he can’t shake it but isn’t sure what to do until the help he’s asking for arrives.

Perhaps because they packed all the emotion of the movie into a few minutes, this movie’s trailers gave me the impression that this would be a standard war/homefront movie. But it isn’t. The result of the movie’s low-key tone and patient storytelling is a movie I found myself thinking about long after it ended. B Rated R for strong violent content, language throughout, some sexuality, drug material & brief nudity. Directed by Jason Hall, who also wrote the screenplay, Thank You For Your Service is an hour and 48 minutes long and distributed by Universal Pictures.

She quickly takes charge of trying to solve her murder and learns how to fix a few other life concerns along the way in this delightful and funny horror movie that, jazz hands and hurrahs, doesn’t hate its female lead!

Kimock and son anchor eponymous band

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

Over 40 years and a kaleidoscope of genres, Steve Kimock has made a lot of music. He’s played in multiple Grateful Dead-related projects — Jerry Garcia once called him his “favorite unknown guitarist.” Kimock has collaborated with members of Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Phish, and that’s just a short list.

Despite his many and varied musical endeavors, Kimock said in a recent interview that the key is chemistry. That’s why Kimock — his new band — is special. The group includes his son John Mogan Kimock on drums, who wrote or co-wrote six of nine tracks on their debut album, Satellite City.

“Occasionally you get off into some space where it’s all about the music. ... It has to be in order to work on some level,” the elder Kimock said. “But to get it done turns out to be 99 percent social. It’s really all about the people involved. Johnny is to me such a unique personality, as a player and a composer. He got started early, and he’s finding himself now.”

Also in the band is bassist Bobby Vega and singer-songwriter Leslie Mendelson.

Vega and Kimock met in the early 1980s, while Mendelson, who also plays keyboards and guitar, is a recent acquaintance.

“I’m friends with Bob Weir, who has this terrible habit of calling me to do interesting things at the last possible minute,” he said. “I’d just got off a plane from Japan and I got a call saying, ‘Come to the studio, we’re gonna do a Weir Here.’ Leslie was one of the guests on the show.”

The two hit it off well enough that Kimock invited her to join his band at a San Francisco benefit show the next day.

“We had an immediate connection,” he said. “We shared a fondness for songcraft and pop music, which isn’t my normal game. I’m a guitar player guy in the jam band thing — that’s the work pigeonhole.”

Kimock’s love for pop music runs deep, however.

“My formative listening was equal parts pop and quirky,” he said. “My first three Kimock When: Saturday, Nov. 4, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Flying Monkey Movie House & Performance Center, 39 Main St., Plymouth Tickets: $25 & $35 at flyingmonkeynh. com

albums were Ravi Shankar at Monterey, Sgt. Pepper and Johnny Winter’s Progressive Blues Experiment. That always stuck with me.”

Were it not for a school-age incident, Kimock might have become more than a guitarist.

“I suffered the indignity of being told that I couldn’t sing by a teacher after I got up in front of the class,” he said. “It froze me for life, so I played the guitar. If I hadn’t had that experience, it might be different.”

Mendelson and Kimock worked together on the new album’s title track and three other songs, with support from her longtime writing partner, Steve McEwan.

Having the opportunity to collaborate on songwriting with someone with Mendelson’s depth was a shift from Kimock’s previous album, Last Danger of Frost, which he called “a very psychedelic, leftof-center kind of thing.”

Kimock ended up with several unused ideas after completing the project.

“I was thinking I could take some of them on stage, even though I hadn’t intended to when I made the record,” he said. “I called Johnny ... he’s good with electronics.

I said, ‘This is enough of a clean sheet of paper, I should call Leslie.’”

At an upcoming concert at Plymouth’s Flying Monkey, the band will dip into the new disc; the show is billed as an album release party.

“But not everything,” Kimock said.

“I wouldn’t want to play the whole thing every night. Johnny’s got some new stuff, and we’ll do the occasional quirky pop cover.”

Andy Hess will replace Vega for the show. The bass player has a long resume that includes stints with Black Crowes and Gov’t Mule, in addition to playing in bands with Mendelson and STEVE KIMOCK both Kimocks.

“We’ll do some really nice stuff that people haven’t heard much that me, Johnny and Andy have played before,” he said.

Although his Dead affiliation dates back to Donna Godchaux’s late 1970s Heart of Gold, Kimock doesn’t consider himself a member of that family.

“I’m a peripheral part; I see myself as part of the San Francisco scene,” he said.

“But I get the benefit of those guys’ experience ... in a way that’s off the page for most kind of music studies.”

It’s given him a unique education.

“It wouldn’t matter where you went to try and learn music, you couldn’t know what these guys know,” he said. “I’ve had the benefit of that, for which I’m grateful — no pun intended.”

I suffered the indignity of being told that I couldn’t sing by a group of teachers. ...

It froze me for life.

fect big brother, and he made it his priority to protect me. Get your own food.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Music had always been magic to me, the way that the sound and rhythm and poetry could captivate people and unite complete strangers in an instant and intimate emotional bond with no conversation necessary. Music will help you make connections.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) I was John Wooden’s easiest recruit ever. I knew from the time I was twelve I was going to go to UCLA — if they would have me. Coach Wooden didn’t know that, nobody else knew it, but I did. I always liked playing up — against bigger and better competition. Play up.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) Back just in the nick of time for the first day of classes in the fall of 1972, I changed my major again. Disillusioned with the “science” of politics … and inspired by my summer hitchhiking and backpacking trip through the western United States and Canada, I was chasing the new dream of geography. Interdisciplinary studies is where it’s at.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Coming back and climbing up from complete failure is really hard. And there are never any guarantees which way it will all go. This is also true of climbing up from success. Just do the work.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) Now there was so much more to my life. It wasn’t just basketball, or a Laker game or an Ali fight on the radio, or a book late at night. I’d recently upgraded to an AM/FM combo radio, which took all of what little money that I ever had.

Most important, this capital investment in my infrastructure expanded my mind and my universe. … Our new best friends became KPRI’s DJs. They were our tour guides, teachers, and travel agents. Like the librarians and my bike, they could take us to previously unreachable destinations…. We were on our way, and nothing was going to slow us down. A good tour guide will do wonders.

 And unlike this smart phone,

All quotes are from Back from the Dead,

by Bill Walton, born Nov. 5, 1952.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) A wonderful thing about basketball is that on every one of your trips up or down the floor you have an opportunity to make a positive contribution to the outcome of the game. All you need to do is make a contribution.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) I grew up in San Diego. It was perfect. My life was wonderful — great families; excellent schools, teachers, and coaches; it was sunny and eighty degrees every day. I assumed it was the same everywhere, for everyone. Time to see how the other half lives.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Back to school. The freshness. The newness of it all. What could be better? New classes, friends, teachers, teammates — everything. There’s a special on pumpkin spice meatloaf in the cafeteria.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) I read a lot of the history of my new Oregon home, and decided that I wanted to take a summer job as a lumberjack. … The reality did not meet the dreamy myth, what with the danger, the giant chain saws, cables, trucks, winches, bulldozers, devastation, cutting down the forests and all. Myth meets reality.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) In basketball — like life — if your team is well coached, well conditioned, reasonably intelligent, and totally determined to make a positive, consistent contribution, you just might be able to find a way to beat anybody, maybe everybody.

Or at least to have the chance to succeed on any long, hard climb. If. Aries (March 21 – April 19) It is generally easy to determine what is wrong with something. Identifying what makes things right or work is often extremely elusive. Elusive but not impossible, and more valuable.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) By now, though, Bruce was my best friend, and he had stopped stealing my food. He became the per-

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Ewwwww!

Quick-thinking paramedics in Dorset, England, saved the life of a man whose fishing outing went south when a dover sole jumped down his throat and blocked his windpipe on Oct. 5. Sam Quilliam, 28, had just caught the 5 1/2-inch-long fish and went to give it a kiss when it wriggled free and lodged in his throat. “I ran round the pier like a headless chicken and then passed out,” Quilliam told The Guardian. When first responders arrived, Quilliam was not breathing, but friends were performing CPR. Paramedic Matt Harrison said: “It was clear that we needed to get the fish out or this patient was not going to survive. ...

I was able to eventually dislodge the tip of the tail and very carefully, so as not to break the tail off, I tried to remove it although the fish’s barbs and gills were getting stuck on the way back up.” Finally, the fish “came out in one piece,” Harrison said. Quilliam said his brush with death won’t put him off fishing. “Once I am back at work and fit, I will probably get back at it again,” he said.

• Lindsey Partridge of Ontario, Canada, booked herself at a pet-friendly Super 8 in Georgetown, Kentucky, for the Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover on Oct. 4. At check-in, Partridge asked the front desk clerk if the pet policy included horses, to which the clerk answered, “Aw, I wouldn’t mind. You could do that.” So Partridge returned to her horse trailer and brought Blizz, her retired racehorse, into the hotel. Partridge and Blizz took a video and a few photos in the room, but eventually Partridge took Blizz to the Kentucky Horse Park, where the rooms are more suited to equine visitors. The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that Blizz took third place in the trail competition during the event.

• Meanwhile, in Iowa, a pair of women stopped at a traffic light in Altoona in October looked at the car next to them and saw a horse staring back from the back seat.

“This is the most Iowa thing that has EVER happened to me,” Hannah Waskel tweeted, along with a video of the miniature horse.

“We started laughing and the people driving the horse saw us and waved,” Hannah told UPI. “They even rolled the window down for the horse.”

Questionable judgment

Tucson, Arizona, firefighters were called on Oct. 15 to a mobile home park after a resident there tried to remove spiderwebs from beneath his trailer using a propane torch, but ended up setting his home on fire. KVOATV reported that the unnamed man’s elderly mother, who also lived there, suffered minor injuries while being carried out of the mobile home with the help of neighbors.

therapy counselor. “They haven’t been able to feel their fingers for three days,” said police detective Patty Finch. Efforts to separate the women were unsuccessful, and Deckert was released with advice to seek medical attention.

Oops!

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport made an unusual discovery in the luggage of a traveler arriving from Vietnam in October: 54 illegal bird nests. The nests, which are considered a delicacy in some countries, are built out of solidified bird saliva and are used to make soup and broth, reported UPI. However, they are banned from entering the United States because they may carry infectious diseases. The nests were destroyed.

In Vero Beach, Florida, a husband and wife made a hot bet on the Dallas Cowboys vs.

Green Bay Packers football game on Oct. 8: The loser would set their team’s jersey on fire.

When the Packers won, the husband, 27, took his blue and silver Cowboys jersey outside and set fire to it. But, as he later told sheriff’s deputies, because he was drunk, he then tried to put the jersey back on, and that’s when things got heated. Family members pulled the burning jersey off the man and rushed him to the Indian River Medical Center. A witness told the Sebastian Daily “skin was hanging off his arm and back.” He suffered second- and third-degree burns to his hand, arm and back.

What we’ll do for love

Wait, what?

The Daily World in Centralia, Washington, reported that Rachel A. Deckert, 27, tried to turn herself in at the Lewis County Jail on an outstanding DUI warrant on Aug. 21, but was turned away because she brought along her partner literally glued to Deckert by her pinky finger. When Deckert tried again the next day, still attached to her partner, police and firefighters were called. The two women were attached by a copper elbow pipe into which they had each inserted a pinky finger secured with “some kind of epoxy,” a firefighter said.

They told authorities they had been that way about a week at the suggestion of a couples

For the last time, Flight 666, traveling from Copenhagen, Denmark, to HEL (Finland’s Helsinki-Vantaa airport), took off on Friday the 13th of October. A Finnair spokesman said the flight, questionably numbered for the superstitious among us, has been making the trip for 11 years and has flown on Friday the 13th 21 times. “Today will actually be the final time that our AY666 flight flies to HEL,” a spokesman told The Telegraph. Some Finnair flights are getting new numbers, and the infamous route will be renumbered to 954. The flight arrived safely in Helsinki.
