GRANITE VIEWS FRED BRAMANTE

Is America a racist country?

If you look up the definition of a centrist, you’ll find my picture.

I have friends from the far left to the far right.

I try to get along with most everyone.

As Donald Trump famously said in Charlottesville, “there are good people on both sides.” The two sides that he was referring to included the leftist group ANTIFA (antifascist) and neo-Nazis. Good people on both sides seems a stretch, especially, in my view, with neo-Nazis. But, is it possible for someone on the extremes to be a good person?

Maybe.

What does it mean to be a good person? Can a good person have hate in his or her heart? Can someone love their family, friends, their community, their country, and still hate their president, their government, different races, religions, political persuasions, etc? The answer is clearly yes.

So, is hate of any type a disqualifier or are some forms of hate acceptable?

For example, I would say that I hate terrorism.

Regardless of whether they blow up a mosque in Iraq or shoot up a black church in South Carolina, I hate those guys. Does my hate for terrorists cancel out my love of people of all persuasions and, therefore disqualify me from the ranks of the good people? I don’t think so.

Is an ANTIFA leftist as bad a person as a neo-Nazi? They clearly hate each other but one group hates the fact that the other group is built upon hate based on race, religion, etc.

So, does that mean that the ANTIFA hate is a justified hate? Hmmm? Frankly, I have no interest in becoming friendly with any group that preaches hate and/ or violence.

So, is America a racist country? I say NO! Do I believe that racism exists in America? Absolutely! But I believe that America gets better with every generation.

We may take a step backward from time to time but we always take two steps forward. America is the greatest force for justice for all in the world. While still far from perfect, in my lifetime we’ve seen tremendous advancements for minorities, women, the LGBTQ communities and more.

NEWS & NOTES

On Jan. 4, Bolgen Vargas notified the Manchester School Board that he will resign as superintendent of schools in 90 days. According to the board, Vargas took over as superintendent in September 2016, and declined a contract extension through 2021. In his letter, Vargas wrote, “For personal and professional reasons, I will step aside to make way for new leadership that can realize the potential we have prepared for over the past three years.” He added that he is “committed to [assisting] the Board in transitioning to an interim or permanent superintendent in the next 90 days.” According to a press release from the district, Vargas helped finalize a redistricting plan that closed a $7 million budget gap over the past two years. The district also highlighted that Vargas helped provide more support to students and staff, reduce elementary and middle school class sizes and secure a $300,000 grant from the Barr Foundation to assist with a renovation project at West High School for long-term savings. Along with his resignation letter, Vargas provided a progress report to the board covering areas like redistricting, academic assessment, closing the annual budget gap, school board governance and strategic planning.

The board didn’t indicate what steps it would take to replace Vargas on an interim or permanent basis.

Doorway-NH

The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services announced a series of public forums on the state’s new hub-and-spoke model for substance use disorder treatment. Called “The Doorway-NH,” the network will

provide clinical screening, evaluation services and care coordination within an hour for any individual struggling with substance misuse.

Services are being funded through a federal grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration. The public forums are being held in the nine regions within the network and have already taken place in Berlin, Concord, Lebanon and Littleton. Remaining forums will be held in Dover, Keene, Laconia, Manchester and Nashua. The final two southern New Hampshire sessions will take place on Monday, Jan. 14, running from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Nashua City Hall (229 Main St.) and from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at the Manchester Health Department (1528 Elm St.).

Career academy

The New Hampshire Department of Education and the Community College System of New Hampshire are developing a new post-secondary program called the New Hampshire Career Academy, according to a news release. The program will form a public charter high school within the community college system to help high school seniors earn a high school diploma, industry recognized credential and associate degree in a related field. After completing the program, students will be set up with a job interview with a New Hampshire company. According to the release, the academy is intended to create a “free post-secondary learning and career pathway” while also helping to “fill employment positions in high-quality careers.” The team developing the academy will include representatives from the department and the community college system, as well as educators involved in career and technical

centers, high school administrators and business leaders.

Weapon ban

A 220-to-163 vote in the New Hampshire House of Representatives reinstated a ban on “deadly weapons” in the House chambers and visitors gallery, according to a news release from the House Majority Office. The ban was previously in place from 1971 to 2011 and then briefly again from 2013 to 2015. Republican representatives first amended the rule in 2011. In a statement, House Majority Leader Doug Ley (D-Jaffrey) wrote that the rule “upholds public safety by forbidding deadly weapons in the House chamber. State House security personnel are armed and trained to ensure the safety of our legislature and the public.”

In response, House Republican Leader Richard Hinch (R-Merrimack) wrote in a statement that the amendment “prohibits law abiding citizens from exercising their constitutionally protected right, and it lacks the necessary detail in process and procedures for the storage of weapons.”

Meet in the middle

Committee to connect insurers, health care providers

By Scott Murphy

smurphy@hippopress.com

A committee revived by the New Hampshire Insurance Department will aim to address behavioral health issues from both sides of the health care system. Later this month, representatives from the department, health care providers, major insurance companies and health advocacy organizations will meet in a public forum to discuss issues surrounding access to mental health and substance use disorder treatment.

“Sometimes in the regulation of anything, you get caught in the vacuum of only hearing certain pieces of what concerns there are,” said John Elias, commissioner of the department. “To get everyone in the room — patients, insurers, providers and advocates — people can talk about stuff that concerns them and prevents them from getting access to proper treatment.”

System synergy

The committee first formed in August 2016 and held meetings through January of last year.

Elias said the group was created primarily to address the opioid crisis in New Hampshire, adding that “every agency has to do their part to try to address” the issue.

According to the department’s website, 20

individuals were selected to sit on the committee, including state senators and representatives, treatment providers and administrators of treatment programs and behavioral health advocates.

Insurance companies represented on the committee included Anthem New Hampshire, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Freedom Plan, as well as New Hampshire Healthy Families, a Medicaid management program run by the state.

Jenny Patterson, health policy legal counsel for the department, said the committee also allowed all parties involved to make progress on these issues “independent of legislation.” She noted that medical directors from insurance providers sat on the committee to bring backgrounds from both insurance and health care to the table.

“All of the folks in the room were people who had shared interest in making sure people had access to services,” said Patterson.

At the time, Patterson said, individuals enrolled in Medicaid expansion were accessing coverage through private insurance plans. She said different behavioral health providers weren’t used to coverage being administered in this way.

Being able to parse out the details proved to be an important function of the committee. “[The committee] was very useful in terms of everyone educating each other on what practic-

es work, but also how that system worked,” said Patterson.

However, that system began to face changes over the last couple years, as the state worked on the blueprint of the Granite Advantage Health Care Program as part of its five-year Medicaid expansion plan. Starting this year, more than 51,000 residents will be covered by a managed care model that replaces the state’s old Medicaid system.

“I think as the legislature considered moving Medicaid out of private health insurance coverage, there were fewer things to talk about at the time,” said Patterson.

Get the board back together

Patterson said it’s now “extremely timely” for the committee to begin meeting again. Specifically, Elias highlighted New Hampshire’s latest 10-Year Mental Health Plan, which the Department of Health and Human Services will finalize this year. The plan will inform how the state addresses and funds behavioral health needs over the next decade. That information will be vital to insurers sitting on the committee.

“It will be timely for the carriers who may not be fully informed with all those developments and what’s happening at the state level, and how private insurers can become in sync with that,”

said Elias.

Patterson said the Insurance Department is reaching out to past members of the committee and expects “familiar faces” around the table when the group reconvenes on Friday, Jan. 25.

While there’s currently no set meeting schedule, Elias said he wants to hold conversations every month and a half to two months.

Reforming the committee coincides with the department’s latest “market conduct examination,” according to Patterson. The study is looking at the parity of mental health services and patients’ access to those services. Elias hopes that issues brought up by this study are also on the radar of committee members and will be brought up during their meetings. More importantly, he said, public input about the state’s behavioral health system will be invaluable.

“The [issues] we don’t know about are the ones I find most interesting,” said Elias. “One of the things we’re hoping to do moving forward is to hear more from actual patients to talk about their experiences.”

The committee’s meeting on Friday, Jan. 25, will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. in Room 100 of the Walker Building at the New Hampshire Insurance Department (21 S. Fruit St., Concord).

NEWS & NOTES Q&A

Traffic troubles

Examining a spike in traffic deaths

The New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety reported a sharp increase in traffic crashes and deaths last year. The Hippo spoke with Captain William Haynes, commander of the office, about the factors influencing this trend.

How many traffic deaths and crashes were there last year?

As of Dec. 20 ... we’re at 142 [traffic deaths] from 129 crashes.

At the same point [in 2017], we were at 93 crashes with 97 deaths. ... We typically see [most crashes] in the summer months, but November was pretty high for us this year and some of October. ... Already in December, we’re looking at seven deaths.

How does this compare to previous years?

We had an anomaly in 2016 which had us at about 130 [traffic deaths]. But again, when we do our core outcomes and look at the Highway Safety Plan … we had predicted based on a 10-year average we’d be at about 114 [deaths]. … So for us to be even considering 2016 to be under [2018 deaths] … it’s quite shocking.

124760

What were the main causes of these incidents?

Thirty to 40 percent [of traffic deaths] are involving some type of alcohol or drug, whether it be prescription or illegal drug.

And that’s historically been the case for every year, regardless of the amount of crashes. ... What we are seeing is a number of percentages that have increased. If you take the overall numbers and you take out anything that was caused medically or anything that was due to an equipment failure, you’ve got only 9 percent of those fatalities that were related to that. So the other 91 percent is based on people’s choices while driving. ... You’re looking at roughly anywhere from 9 to 11 percent [of crashes] due to speed or distraction. ... Any type of distraction, you couple that with 5 or 10 miles over the speed limit and reduced distraction times, we’re seeing a large number of crashes overall. And of course, the more crashes you have, the more it correlates into fatalities and serious bodily injury.

Has impaired driving worsened in recent years?

All of our bordering states have legalized cannabis, and cannabis does impair [drivers]. ... It goes back to personal choice and realizing there is an impairing factor to it, and that if you choose to drive while impaired, you’re in violation and could cause either a crash or cause injury or death to others as a result.

124488

What are you into right now?

I’m fascinated by life. I just want to continue to live a good life in a great state and be able to enjoy retirement when retirement comes.

That’s our challenge, and I think that’s the challenge nationwide right now. ...

Cell phone use actually, in fairness, since the law was put into place, we’ve Captain William Haynes seen a significant reduction in crashes directly correlated to the use of handheld devices. But it’s very difficult the way the law is written. If you don’t see the device, you can’t make the stop. So, therefore, we think those numbers are skewed only because people have gotten smarter. If you notice while you’re driving now … you’ll see people always looking down; you can imagine what they’re doing.

Unfortunately, as a law enforcement officer, unless I can actually physically see them utilizing their phone … it’s very difficult to conduct a motor vehicle stop. … We have focused on handheld devices, and rightfully so. But it’s more than handheld devices.

It’s that cup of coffee; it’s that fast food sandwich that you may be eating; it’s dropping something and reaching down under the seat for a split second. … The focus is to get people to concentrate on just driving.

What is the state doing to address these issues?

Our approach from the Highway Safety Office is to try to message and educate people to make the right choices. … We just recently hired a public information officer in our office ... who’s looking at reaching out to the right audience at the right time with the right message. That’s the challenge, based on age groups. … They all have to be approached differently. The challenge for us is, how do we approach them with the right message that resonates and gets our point across? For those of us who have been around a while, the answer was just, “Don’t do it,” and we’re used to that and we typically learned from that. For others, it’s a softer, more open approach … and [giving] them good reasons why [impaired driving] could impact them. We’re working with other agencies throughout the country in highway safety to look at their messaging. … And of course, along with messaging and education comes really proactive enforcement. We’ve got to buckle down on things such as distraction and reckless operation and speed.

— Scott Murphy

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Bear scare

From Manchester to the north country, bears and Granite Staters had a tough time getting along in 2018. According to the AP, New Hampshire Fish and Game reported 800 bear-human conflicts last year, nearly double the 410 conflicts recorded in 2017. The state killed eight bears, up from two in 2017, and the number of bears killed by residents jumped from 14 to 24 between the last two years. Among the higher-profile shootings reported by the AP was two bear cubs killed near an apartment complex in Manchester, as they were running across a busy roadway.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: According to the AP report, Fish and Game pointed to a lacking food supply to explain by bears scavenged closer to humans last year. State law allows residents to shoot bears on site to defend their property.

Bumpy business boost

New Hampshire was ranked sixth on The Tax Foundation’s latest business tax climate index, though the state’s performance varied with individual categories. The Tax Foundation is based in D.C. and analyzes and publishes data on taxes at the state and federal level. The Granite State owes its top 10 spot to strong showings for its sales tax (1) and individual income taxes (9). However, New Hampshire performed poorly in each other category, ranking 44th for its property and unemployment insurance taxes and 45th for its corporate tax climate.

QOL Score: 0 Comment: According to the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration, the state reduced its Business Profits Tax from 8.2 to 7.9 percent and Business Enterprise Tax from .72 to .675 percent at the start of this year. These rates are scheduled to continue gradually decreasing through the end of 2021.

Gate and Queen City overdoses

The regional office of American Medical Response reported mostly positive opioid overdose trends for Manchester and Nashua in 2018.

There were 706 suspected overdoses and 52 deaths in Manchester last year, down roughly 20 percent in both categories from 2017. However, Nashua had a slight uptick in overdoses, increasing 4 percent to 314. The number of overdose deaths in the Gate City fell at a similar rate seen in Manchester, dropping 22 percent to 35 deaths.

The tournament, as the great Bill Parcells calls it, got underway in the NFL last weekend with Houston, Seattle, Baltimore and Chicago going home, as Indianapolis, Dallas, L.A. and defending champ Philadelphia stayed alive. Here are a few thoughts on those games, and predictions for what lies ahead in what should be another great weekend of football.

The George Copadis Award: To the largest living Cowboys fan north of the house that Jerry built, George Copadis. He gets it for seeing his beloved Boys actually win a playoff game. Though since it was only their third such win since Barry Switzer skipped town in 1995 it probably was more like going to see a relic from the Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson era museums.

What Was He Smoking Award: That’s what most were wondering about John Harbaugh when his rookie QB entered the fourth quarter with just six net passing yards and trailing the Chargers 23-3. But, with locals calling for Joe Flacco, Lamar Jackson rallied the Baltimore Ravens to a pair of TDs and scarily for L.A. fans had the ball with a chance to score a third before a strip sack ended it in the final minute. Took guts, Coach Harbaugh.

What’s The Back-Up Plan Award: Hey, Pete Carroll, what’s the plan if your 86-year-old kicker goes down? Yup, that’s what happened to Sebastian Janikowski while putting extra oomph into a failed 60-yard FG attempt as the first half ended.

Result, that left the job to punter Michael Dickson, who while warming up looked like he’d never tried place kicking before.

That matters in a 24-22 loss.

Nick Foles Award: Named for the hero of the 2017 playoffs, which culminated in Philly’s first NFL title since 1960 and his MVP performance against the Patriots in the SB. It goes to Nick Foles for rallying the all but dead defending

champs to the three wins needed to just get in the playoffs after Carson Wentz went down for the second year in a row, and again Sunday in the final minute to beat the Bears 16-15.

Doink Award: To Chicago kicker Cody Parkey for doinking the game-winning field goal off the left upright and then the cross bar to make it five doinks overall this year.

Best Coaching Move: To the timing of Philly’s Doug Peterson calling time out to ice Parkey literally a second before he sent one down broad street that didn’t count.

Knowing his doink stats, who didn’t know Parker was going to miss the second try?

The Tomato Can Division: Can we please stop with this nonsense for why the Patriots have been so good for so long. Yes the AFC East hasn’t been very good the last four years, and Buffalo’s been mostly a disaster during their entire run. But it was concocted by Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy to get under the skin of Bob and Jonathan Kraft who he’s been feuding with since he took Parcell’s side in the border war 20 years ago. But I hate to tell the NFC haters, the Pats have owned that conference during the Brady-Belichick era and NFC East’s record overall is quite similar to the AFC East’s over the same period. Those Patriots also always play the first-place schedule in the superior AFC against its more consistently top teams – Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Baltimore, Denver.

Philadelphia Eagles at New Orleans Saints: The New Orleans potent offense went, er, south in December but the D really came alive. If the D stays and O re-emerges how can you bet against the best team in the regular season? That makes the big question going in, can Nick Foles do it again?

I’m not sure, but bet against him at your own peril – Eagles 31-27.

Dallas Cowboys at L.A. Rams: Who’s coaching this game Tom Landry vs.

Chuck Knox? L.A. is loaded, playing at home in the Coliseum bringing to mind for old bucks Roman Gabriel and the Fear-

some Foursome playing big games there in the good old days. Everything says Rams – talent, speed, numbers, the Cowboys playoff record, Aaron Donald on D and home field. Rams 31-17.

Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs: These aren’t the same old Colts, because led by All-Pro Quentin Nelson they protect the QB and aren’t soft as marshmallows against the run. They gave up 105 rushing yards to Houston but 78 came on QB scrambles by Deshaun Watson. Behind electric Patrick Mahomes KC led the NFL scoring and have the NFL’s scariest big play guy in Tyreek Hill. The winner will be decided from how these questions are answered: (1) Can Andrew Luck avoid doing what he usually does in big games – throw a few damaging picks?

(2) Ditto for Mahomes, whose aggressive throwing into crowds paid off in the regular season but could cost him against the better playoff teams. (3) Will Andy Reid be generally what he’s been in the playoffs – a game-managing disaster? (4) Can Indy’s D contain Mahomes and Hill? I’ll bet on Andy being Andy and Luck over Mahomes in the turnover department. Colts 37-34.

San Diego, er, L.A. Chargers vs. New England Patriots: I’ve got conflicting feelings on this one. Plus according to their body clock the Chargers will be playing at 10 a.m. again after making their second cross-country trip in 10 days and forecast says in the low 20s. Not a good prescription for a team from San Diego, er, L.A.. However, L.A. is the most complete team in the playoffs, with a veteran QB, great team speed, a sturdy D with an excellent young safety to cover Gronk and a solid running game to exploit the Pats’ biggest weakness. History says you can’t count out Tom Brady, Coach B and his Patriots even when they look vulnerable, but – Chargers 27-16.

Three road wins in four games, am I nuts? Probably, so at least one’ll be wrong.

Hope it’s the last one.

Coach change in Bedford The Big Story: Amid a player revolt Sue Thomas is out as girls basketball coach at Bedford. This came after the majority of her team said they’d boycott last week’s Holiday Tournament if she was on the bench, according to a report in the Union Leader. That led to an administrative investigation culminating with the firing due to fostering a “negative” and intimidating culture on the team. Assistant Kevin Gibbs took over through the end of the year.

It came in a 64-48 win over then undefeated Andover High when tourney MVP Erin Carney led with a gamehigh 17 points as the Cardinals improved to 5-0.

Sports Glossary

Dwight Clark: All-American receiver out of Clemson and 49ers all-timer who died of ALS last June. Was Joe Cool’s man in San Francisco before Jerry Rice got there. Came to fame by making “The Catch” with 57 ticks left to give the 49ers a 28-27 win over the Dallas Cowboys in the 1981 NFC title game to kick-start the 49er dynasty into gear. The Niners would beat Cincinnati two weeks later for the franchise’s first of five wins between ’81 and ’95. It concluded Clark’s best season, when he had 85 catches for 1,105 yards. Overall it was 506 catches for 6,705 yards and 48 TDs. Joe Cool: Nickname for the great Joe Montana, who along with Johnny Unitas and Otto Graham are in the conversation with Tom Brady for best of all time.

AFC East vs. Pats Since 2001: The overall winning percentage of 78.7 against the AFC East during the Brady-Belichick era that began with a 2001 loss to the Jets. The 23 times they’ve lost inside the division represents 33 percent of the Patriots’ 61 losses since 2001.

NFC vs. Pats Since 2001: They’ve won a paltry 14 of 72 games for a 19.5 winning percentage or 80.5 percent for NE vs. the entire conference.

NFC East vs. Pats Since 2001: They’re, gulp, 3-1 vs. NE in SBs. But in 16 regular season games in 2003, ’07, ’11 and ’15 they’ve won just three. That’s an 82.5 percent clip for the Pats and if you’re wondering that’s worse than the maligned AFC East’s 78.7 percent.

How to dis guise exercise, get raves for good eats and make learning fun

In this second part of our four-week Look Good, Feel Great series, we have tips to help you get your kids moving, eating healthier and learning new things — and they’ll be having so much fun they won’t even know that it’s good for them!

Disguise exercise Fun activities to get kids moving

By Scott Murphy

smurphy@hippopress.com

Parents struggling to pry their children off the couch this winter, these fun indoor options can get kids moving.

Bounce, climb and explore

Instead of watching your kids jump on your furniture, bring them to one of New Hampshire’s numerous indoor playgrounds or trampoline parks. Typically, admission costs under $20 for the entire day.

At Krazy Kids Indoor Play and Party Center in Pembroke, kids can enjoy a large climbing structure with nine slides, along with four different inflatable areas, trampolines and a ropes course. There’s plenty to fuel their imaginations and power down their energy levels.

“They can use their imagination here; a lot of kids will pretend one of our structures is a spaceship,” said Mariah Morse, general manager of Krazy Kids. “It’s great for their parents because they’re tired by the time they leave.”

HIPPO | JANUARY 10 - 16, 2019 | PAGE 12

If your kids love to climb and explore, bring them to Evo Rock and Fitness in Concord to try more than 60 climbing stations. There’s wall space and ropes for every level of bravery and ability that will test your kids’ mental and physical talents.

“You really do get a full body workout and use some muscles you don’t normally use when you’re down on the ground,” said Mark Vasta, general manager of Evo Rock and Fitness. “It’s also a good mental challenge, trying to figure out how to make your way up the wall.”

Kids can also burn off steam at the Village Idiotz Party Rentals Entertainment Center in Concord. Located in the Steeplegate Mall, the 25,000-square-foot space offers plenty of room for kids to run around, according to owner Dan Caouette. Visitors will find about a dozen bounce houses, laser tag, a soccer area, inflatable sumo suits and more. There’s also a designated space for toddlers when the space starts to fill up.

“We want little kids to have a good time as

well as older kids,” said Caouette. “When it gets busy, we make sure we adhere to that policy 100 percent.”

If your kids want to go beyond just bouncing around, head over to Launch Trampoline Park in Nashua. Along with plenty of trampolines, tumble tracks and a foam pit, kids and teens can gather on special trampoline courts to play basketball or dodgeball with a fun, aerial twist.

“It’s such a fun-packed environment,” said Nate Sicard, general manager of Launch Trampoline Park. “It’s a great way to get [kids] off the couch and … away from video games for a day.”

If “no video games” is a hard sell for your kids, check out the high-tech activities at Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Manchester. A laser climbing wall projects interactive challenges while kids try to maintain their balance and reach as high up as they can. They can also jump directly into the game with an arcade jump, which allows players to act as the character in full-motion activities.

“Kids love to play, and we make it fun for them to play while they’re exercising,” said Tamer Fahmy, manager and owner of Sky Zone.

Altitude Trampoline Park opened its newest location last November at the Steeplegate Mall in Concord, joining parks in Merrimack and Pelham. Each location offers a variety of fun activities, including a rock wall, extreme dodgeball, gymnastic tumble track, foam pit and, of course, plenty of trampolines. Jared Williams, general manager of Altitude in Concord, said the park offers “cheap fun, but we’re still getting your kids active.”

While all ages are welcome, Altitude offers special times and pricing for different age levels. Toddler Time is held every weekday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and a weekly Friday Night Friendzy for tweens and Saturday Teen Night both run from 7 to 10 p.m. on their respective days. Williams said Toddler Time is geared toward parents home with their kids who are 14

Deliciously fun

Simple tips to get kids eating healthy

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

There are plenty of effective ways to steer your kids away from processed junk foods and toward healthier options that will lift their moods, strengthen their immune system and boost concentration and brain development, while keeping it fun for them.

According to Jaclyn Fodor, director of dieticians for the Bedford-based Nutrition in Motion, kids respond to foods better when they are able to play around with different colors and shapes.

“It’s all about letting them have fun with the food they are supposed to eat,” she said.

“So, like, making faces or characters out of their food makes it familiar to them because they see something cartoon-y.”

“We’ve actually gotten a lot of compliments [from parents] based on how steady our toddler time is,” said Williams. “Even little ones can get a cardiovascular workout.”

It can be easy to fall back on sugary cereals or frosting-coated Pop-Tarts as quick breakfast options, but introducing healthier foods with nutrient-rich ingredients doesn’t have to take a long time either. Kristen Chinosi of The Culinary Playground in Derry said foods like oatmeal and fruits lend themselves to creativity.

“Oatmeal is not only very filling and nutritious, but there are so many ways you can customize it, like adding cinnamon, or walnuts or some slivered almonds, and then of course fruits like raisins, Craisins or chopped apricots,” she said. “Even if you add something like fresh maple syrup, it’s still going to be a lot lower in sugar than a lot of the sugary cereals out there.”

A yummy breakfast

In addition to their trampoline offerings, Sky Zone recently added a “ninja”obstacle course. Based on the hit TV series American Ninja Warrior, these obstacle courses are comprised of several challenges and structures that test participants’ strength and agility.

At Sky Zone, the four lane ninja course has eight elements. Different obstacles require kids and teens to jump from platform to platform, swing and grab hanging ropes and balance on tight surfaces.

“We have elements for every level, from young kids to the very athletic teens,” said Fahmy. “It has a number of different levels and speeds.”

For kids who love these kinds of courses,

there are a couple of ninja schools in southern New Hampshire. The Workout Club in Londonderry offers a Ninja Fit Club, with some classes taught by trainers who competed for the TV show. Kids, teens and adults can attempt to master obstacles like the salmon ladder, unstable bridge, warped wall, climbing ropes, slanted steps and more.

“I haven’t had a kid yet not interested in this. … They just look at it as fun,” said Ann Marie Caprio, program director for the Ninja Fit Club. “It’s kind of a combination of personal training, obstacle racing and strength training that’s super fun for kids or adults.”

USA Ninja Challenge in Manchester runs classes specifically for kids and offers many of the same obstacles seen on the TV show. Ben Powell, general manager of the gym, said the setup allows trainers to work with kids based on their own abilities and fitness goals.

“It’s really good for kids of all athletic types and build, because it’s all about what they can do, not about what someone else is doing,” said Powell. “It’s all about personal growth.”

Fodor said that letting kids choose different types of toppings for toast can be fun and healthy, because they incorporate macronutrients or a healthy combination of proteins, carbohydrates and unsaturated fats.

“With a whole-grain toast and toppings like almond butter or peanut butter, and then maybe sliced bananas or strawberries, you can make each day a little different and it still gives kids the energy they need for the morning,” she said.

Heather Taylor, a registered dietician and owner of Eat Well & Beyond in Manchester, said there are other ways to incorporate fresh fruits in a breakfast meal instead of just picking up an apple or a banana. You could mix a couple of eggs with a banana to make crepes, for example, or bake muffins with an applesauce filling.

“Kids can be more picky eaters on the sensory spectrum, so they may not like biting into an apple, but if they like applesauce or apple slices, then there are ways you can sort of think outside the box with that,” she said.

Simple snacks

Instead of potato chips or candy bars, there are other healthier snacks that can be fun to eat due to their unique presentation, according to Chinosi.

“If you’re making like a vegetable omelet, for example, you can make a scrambled egg mixture with some peppers and onions and bake it in a muffin tin, kind of like a little bite-sized quiche,” she said. “Those store well in a lunchbox.”

Other good options, she said, could be homemade cereal bars with oatmeal or fruit,

almond butter as a dip for apple slices, or a hummus or dip with herbs or low-fat sour cream to pair with vegetables that you could make yourself.

Delicious dinners

Taylor said dinner can be the most relaxed meal of the day to play around with different ideas.

“Especially on nights when you don’t have a sports practice or some other type of activity, you can be home to let loose and think of some kind of prep work or, if you’re getting takeout, then some kind of salad,” she said.

Fodor said making a hands-on dish like meatballs is an especially fun way to get kids involved.

“Just adding a pinch of salt to something is boring and not as fun for kids as letting them getting their hands into a bowl,” she said. “A spinach and feta turkey meatball is especially good.”

Identifying a food your child enjoys and pairing it with a healthy food or ingredient is often effective too.

“You can puree vegetables into a spaghetti sauce,” Taylor said, “or, if you know your kids like noodles, maybe add some broccoli or peas into the mix.”

Chinosi said one of her favorite things to make during The Culinary Playground’s classes is a lasagna rollup with butternut squash filling, which also has a cream-based white sauce.

“They may already know they like the pasta and a creamy cheese-based sauce, so the squash filling is something that could be added in, or you could do something like a spinach.”

Parent-child cooking classes From picking up ingredients at the grocery store to having them help out in the kitchen while preparing a meal, involving kids in the cooking process can make them more likely to try new foods, according to Kristen Chinosi of The Culinary Playground in Derry.

“Parents are surprised by what children will eat when they have a hand in making it,” she

said. “It keeps them engaged, so that they may say, ‘I made this, so I’ve got to give it a try.’”

The Culinary Playground regularly offers cooking classes for kids as well as adult-child team cooking classes, with the next available dates on Friday, Feb. 8, from 5 to 7 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 10, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Visit culinary-playground.com or call 339-1664 for details.

100% of our graduates attend college, a professional certification program or are ready to work!

Kids can have fun and learn a thing or two this winter, with options ranging from live theater to art and science museums.

The Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord, for example, features family-friendly shows as part of its regular programming and has several shows scheduled in January through March.

“We pull some of the best talent from all over the country,” marketing manager Lynne Sabean said. “Our mission is to provide high-quality entertainment to the community, and young families are a very important group within that.”

Up next is Potted Potter on Thursday, Jan. 24, a two-man parody that condenses all seven Harry Potter books into 70 minutes. Then, a new production of the classic musical The Sound of Music will be at the theater on Wednesday, Feb. 20.

The theater also hosts the Lincoln Financial Education Series, an ongoing series of affordable, daytime weekday shows aimed at kids and teens.

“The subject matter covers everything from PBS characters to Shakespeare to George Orwell,” Sabean said. “It’s perfect for homeschoolers or parents or grandparents who want to keep their kids home for the day to see some live theater.”

Families can spend a day looking at art at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, or make some art of their own in the Currier’s family programs.

Creative Studio, held on the second Saturday of every month, features various art-making projects and is open to families and all ages. There are also workshops on various topics, held on select dates, such as wet felting, basket-weaving and

clay, open to ages 5 and up.

“The Currier is a great place to take the kids,” said Linn Krikorian, manager of the studio art programs. “We’re extremely welcoming to kids and encourage them to explore art and art-making. They can see art at the museum itself, then make art at the art center and find out exactly how things are made.”

If science is more your thing, there are a number of science museums where kids can explore aviation, astronomy, natural science, marine biology and more.

The SEE Science Center in Manchester, for one, has more than 90 interactive exhibits, daily demonstrations and educational programs surrounding technology, engineering and mathematics. Its newest exhibit “BiologYou” looks at the human genome. It features a giant light-up, multi-colored model of a DNA strand and numerous kiosks where visitors can do things like compare the human genome to the genomes of a chimpanzee, a banana and more; use a probe to find a faulty gene sequence, a process that models how testing is done for specific disorders; and discover how chance and environmental factors contribute to a person’s physical traits.

“There are all kinds of fun things happening at SEE all the time,” Susan Howland, executive director, said. “Our exhibits are really hands-on, so it’s a fun experience for kids. It gets them excited to learn about science and teaches them science in a very entertaining way.”

The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover covers a little bit of everything: art, science, music, nature, culture and more. It features two floors of interactive exhibits for kids age 12 and 20

under, where kids can build their own flying machines, explore a cave, dig up dinosaur fossils, shop at a multicultural bazaar, make music, examine specimens from nature, manage a model post office, explore the deep sea in a yellow submarine and more.

“While the exhibits aren’t set up like lessons, a lot of learning naturally occurs; kids can use their environment to learn with very little guidance,” Neva Cole, communications director, said. “The goal is to tap into the kids’ innate instinct for play and discovery, and to give them a safe place to explore, learn, be silly and play.”

Artist paints landscapes from a moving perspective

Johnson currently paints full-time at her studio in Amherst and is a juried member of the New Hampshire Art Association. Her paintings have won numerous awards and are featured in private and corporate collections throughout the world, such as Fidelity Investments, Delta Airlines and Pepsico. Locally, her work has also been featured at Sullivan Framing & Fine Art Gallery in Bedford and Fry Fine Art in Peterborough.

Moving forward, Johnson plans to experiment with a more abstract style still inspired by the landscapes that she sees on her motorcycle rides.

“My work has been becoming more and more abstract already as I become more attentive to this idea of subtext and substory going on within the landscape,” she said. “I would love to get really abstract in the new year and take what I know about composition of lights and darks and just go for it.”

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Amherst artist Daryl D. Johnson takes a unique approach to landscapes in her solo exhibition “New Hampshire Landscapes in Motion,” featuring oil paintings inspired by her motorcycle rides throughout New England.

They depict a sense of movement, showing the landscapes as Johnson sees them while in motion on a motorcycle.

“As a visual artist, I’m constantly recording these movies in my head as I move through space, and it’s that fleeting energy that I’ve really tried to capture, on a flat canvas, of all things,” Johnson said. “People [looking at the paintings] have that experience of zooming past the landscape on a motorcycle.”

“New Hampshire Landscapes in Motion” is a small retrospective of Johnson’s New Hampshire landscapes and is on view now through March 21 at the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, with an opening reception on Friday, Jan. 11.

The exhibition includes recent works and some older works, the oldest being from 1990.

Early in her art career, Johnson painted mostly still-lifes of flowers. It was during her first long motorcycle trip through New England and Nova Scotia in 1989 that she had a shift in her artistic vision and decided to start painting landscapes and landscapes-in-motion.

Her work includes landscapes in the Monadnock region, the White Mountains, the Lakes

“Northeast Motion” by Daryl D. Johnson, 30 x 40” oils on canvas. Courtesy photo.

Region and the Seacoast.

Though scenes in nature are beautiful on their own, Johnson said, seeing them in motion is “the next level of perception” and produces a different emotional response than a static scene.

“Nature has a certain flexibility. There’s a balance between serenity and energy,” she said. “I’m just one human being watching this incredible natural phenomenon, trying to tell that story on canvas.”

One of the ways Johnson creates the motion

effect is by fitting multiple views of the landscape into one painting.

“I take fractured pieces of what I see and stitch them together, similar to what people are doing now with Photoshop, only I was doing this before Photoshop was around,” she said.

Johnson prefers oil paint because it allows her to layer colors in her paintings.

“I can do a warmer color, like a dark red, as an underpainting, then cool colors on top for the clouds and trees,” she said. “If you look closely, you can see the color underneath.”

Massabesic Audubon Center celebrates 20th anniversary

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

You can see and hold live animals, go on a nature scavenger hunt, play games and do crafts during the Massabesic Audubon Center’s first-ever open house on Saturday, Jan. 12.

The Auburn-based New Hampshire Audubon branch will celebrate its 20th anniversary at the event with free, family-friendly indoor and outdoor nature activities, as well as special nature programs for adults.

“We’re inviting all of our longtime friends and volunteers and community members to join us in celebrating, and we’ll hopefully bring in some new folks who aren’t as familiar with us,” program manager Angie Krysiak said.

During the event, refreshments will be served, and a slideshow with pictures of the center’s opening in 1998 and highlights from the last 20 years will be projected.

The center’s live animals, including frogs, turtles, ball python snakes, a raven, a 10-year-old chipmunk and more, will be on display, and some will be taken out of their tanks for visitors to hold and pet.

“Some of these animals have been with us almost the whole time we’ve been open, so that’s pretty cool,” Krysiak said.

There will be winter-themed crafts for all ages, such as snowflake-making, coloring pages and a pinecone bird feeder.

Visitors can also participate in a bingo-style nature scavenger hunt, for which 27 Kiddie pool Family activities this week.

In the Nature Trail Cams program, a nature photographer will share some of her photographs and talk about how trail cameras can be used to gather data about wildlife populations.

“Some animals like the lynx and bobcats are more elusive and you won’t see them, so trail cams can help us learn about them in a way that we can’t with other types of research methods,” Krysiak said.

The Massabesic Audubon Center offers a number of nature-related community and kids’ programs throughout the year and hosts an annual Earth Day Festival in April. Visitors can stop by the center when it’s open (winter hours are Wednesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) to see See live animals at the Massabesic Audubon Center’s Open House.

Dear Donna, This is a dresser that I found at a house in California. It was painted white and I painstakingly removed all the paint from the front carvings (it was in pieces) and replaced the handles. It could be from the 1800s.

Emil B. Dear Emil, You are right; it is from the mid to late 1800s Victorian era and is one of the pieces they refer to as an East Lake chest of drawers. That is what the carving in the front refers to. They are called spoon carvings, meaning the carving is incised instead of raised and done with a modern flair for its time.

Looks like you have done a great job saving it and retiring it for use again. My hat is off to you! In some cases it is OK because there is no other choice. It wasn’t in the original condition when you found it and probably of no use. So you saved it!

The value on it is based on its current condition — not that it would be much dif-

As we go through the holidays, we tend to relax our vigilance about eating. Or at least I do. Like a woodchuck bulking up for hibernation, I find myself enjoying comfort foods during the long winter nights — and days.

It is easy to gain a few pounds, even with the best of intentions, so I was attracted to Michael Pollan’s 2009 book, Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual. It does not attempt to prescribe a diet that will help me to lose weight after the holidays, but I know if I follow it, it will help.

I liked the book a lot, in part, because it is a quick and easy read. I read it all in two or three hours. And it is mostly common sense, but it’s a good reminder about things I know instinctively but may have ignored over the holidays. As a gardening guy I put up a lot of food I grow, and sometimes it languishes in the freezer, on the pantry shelves, or in my spare fridge. The book motivated me to dig out the frozen kale and use it! Eating from my own garden is always healthy.

Pollan starts by acknowledging that it is difficult to sort through mountains of conflicting advice. Should we all be avoiding fats, or is it the carbohydrates? Is gluten bad for all of us? Should we be drinking red wine for the polyphenols? What are omega-3 fatty acids, and are they worth fussing over?

His main premise is one he elaborated on in an earlier book, In Defense of Food: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

By food, he means food that comes from plants or animals, not factories. What is in a Twinkie? Can you imagine the products that make one coming from natural substances that you could grow yourself? I can’t.

Pollan explains that people who eat the so called “Western diet” are generally less healthy than people who eat a traditional diet, whatever that may be (Japanese, Mediterranean, etc.). The Western diet contains “lots of processed foods and meat, lots of added fat and sugar, lots of refined grains, lots of everything except vegetables.” So Pollan put together a short book of rules to follow. Many of the 64 so-called rules are catchy.

For example, No. 7: “Avoid food products containing ingredients that a third-grader cannot pronounce.”

No 13: “Eat only foods that will eventually rot.” I’m not interested in eating anything with a long shelf life because I know it’s probably full of chemicals.

No. 30: “Eat well-grown food from healthy soil.” I couldn’t agree more. Chemical fertilizers aren’t necessarily bad; they are just limited. A bag of 10-10-10 contains 10 percent by weight of nitrogen, phospho-

rous and potassium, with 70 percent filler that is never specified (trade secrets).

Fertilizer will make plants grow, for sure.

But a dose of compost contains 15 or more kinds of minerals needed by plants and by us, and lots of beneficial bacteria and fungi that evolved with green plants and support them. My tomatoes not only taste better than those that come in cellophane four-packs, I believe they have more healthy ingredients.

No. 36: “Don’t eat breakfast cereals that change the color of the milk.”

No. 39: “Eat all the junk food you want — as long as you cook it yourself.” French fries are America’s favorite vegetable, but if we had to wash, peel, cut and fry them ourselves, we’d probably eat them about as often as we roast a turkey. I do eat a lot of potatoes because I grow them and love them. But I almost never fry them. And mine are cooked in healthy oil, and have little salt.

No. 63: “Cook.” If you buy frozen pizzas or even fancy frozen meals, you are allowing someone else to decide what goes on your dinner plate. They add the salt, the sugar and the preservatives. I’m lucky: I not only have the time to cook, I love cooking. I sometimes wake up in the morning thinking about what I will cook for dinner.

I think about what is in my fridge or freezer, and how I can combine it with good ingredients to make something I want to eat today, and look forward to having leftovers tomorrow.

I plan to live well and be healthy until I am in my 90s because I grow — and eat — lots of vegetables and fruits. What I buy is mostly organic, even when it’s expensive to buy.

Gardening is good for us. It gets us outdoors, away from a desk or a TV. We get exercise and produce healthy food. Get your kids to help to grow the veggies this year, and they will be pretty enthusiastic about raw vegetables. Ask your children to pull a few carrots, rinse them with the hose and take a bite. You’ll see a big grin, and they’ll want another bite. Same for cherry tomatoes. I even know one boy that will eat raw onions straight from the row. So make 2019 and the year of the vegetable.

We could all benefit.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

‘Genius’ mechanic pinpoints source of thunking sound

Dear Car Talk: Please settle this question for my daughter Abby and me. Many years ago I bought her a Toyota Solara for her

By Ray Magliozzi high school graduation.

It was only a couple of years old, with power everything. She loved it (Dad wins points!).

All went well for a couple of years. Then, suddenly, she started hearing a “thunking” sound in the rear of the car. She took it to her mechanic, and the two of them went for a test drive. They took a couple of corners, and the noise was quite apparent. He then said, “I think you have a golf ball banging around in your trunk.” Sure enough, that’s what caused the noise.

My daughter was quite impressed by the fact that he identified it as a golf ball. I, on the other hand, was not (Dad loses all previously earned points). My position is this: Anyone can tell the difference between a golf-ball sound (compact and dense-sounding, with a slight “thwack” to it) and say a tennis ball (soft, with a slight fuzzy greenish timbre), a baseball (a good “crack” like Ted Williams hit it with a bat) or a football (depending on if it was in Tom Brady’s car, which would be a slightly softer sound due to lower inflation than the usual “thud”).

I maintain that in order to call this mechanic a “genius” like my daughter wants me to, he not only would have to identify the noise as coming from a golf ball, he would have to identify the ball’s make and number (like Titleist No. 2). Please give us the definitive answer so we can go back to talking to each other. — John The guy’s pretty good, John. And even if he’s not a genius, he’s certainly watched a lot of reruns of “Columbo.” Here’s what likely happened: He heard something rolling around in the trunk. He probably tested his theory by taking a couple of sharp corners and seeing where the noise came from after each turn. That allowed him to narrow it down, generically, to “ball.”

I mean, it could have been a can of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup that fell out of a shopping bag, but a ball moves across the trunk more quickly and evenly than a soup can, based on my previous soup-can diagnoses. From it’s sound and timbre — as you say — he probably could tell it was small, and of medium weight. And then he made an educated guess. What’s the most likely ball to be rolling around a trunk of somebody’s car? A golf ball that fell out of a golf bag, right? In fact, he’s probably had other customers who came in complaining about the same errant golf-ball problem.

So, even if he’s not a genius, he’s an astute observer. He’s also honest. He could have said, “Oh, Abby, it sounds like your struts and struts mounts are all worn out.

I’m going to have to keep it for a couple of days and it’s gonna cost you a thousand bucks.” But he didn’t. So I’d call him an excellent mechanic, John. And I’d call him a good guy. And I’d encourage Abby to call him whenever she has future car trouble.

Dear Car Talk: I have a question about my 2003 Buick Regal. I’ve been a diesel mechanic for 40 years, and I’m now retired. I need to change the rack and pinion on my Buick, but I need some instructions. Every time I try to ask this question online, all I get are listings of places that sell the unit. I never get the answer I need. Can you tell me where I can get instructions on how to replace the unit? -- Bill Yeah, pretty smart ad placement by Steering Racks R Us, huh? My first suggestion would be to add the words “YouTube” to your search. YouTube has become populated with a ton of how-to videos, where amateur mechanics, plumbers, appliance repairers and brain surgeons happily show you how to do something very specific.

When searching, it’s often helpful to know how many years your particular Regal

was produced. In your case, that fourth generation Regal was made from 1997-2004.

So any of those years should work. It also happened to be essentially the same car as the Chevy Lumina (R.I.P.), the Chevy Monte Carlo (R.I.P.), the Pontiac Grand Prix (R.I.P.) and the Oldsmobile Intrigue (R.I.P.).

So if you can find videos on any of those models from those years, you’ll probably learn what you need to know.

From my experience, the only thing that’s at all tricky about replacing the rack and pinion on your car is that you have to lower the rear section of the subframe to get at it. So you might want to recruit a friend to provide an extra set of hands, and help you line things up. That’ll make the job easier. Just pick someone you’re not that fond of, because the friendship will probably be over after this.

After you replace the rack, you’ll need to either reuse or replace your outer tie rod ends. And once you do that, you’ll need an alignment. Otherwise, your rack and pinion will work great, but it’ll only drive you in circles. It’s a job that’s within the grasp of an experienced weekend mechanic, Bill.

But it might take a whole weekend, especially if you decide to tackle it alone. So make a bunch of sandwiches first.

• Tastes of Haiti: Get your tickets now for A Taste of Haiti 2.0, a special multi-course dinner to be offered at The Foundry (50 Commercial St., Manchester) on Sunday, Jan. 20, from 6 to 8 p.m. Chef Chris Viaud of The Farmer’s Dinner will be presenting this dinner featuring reimagined Haitian classics. The cost is $79 per person and a portion of the proceeds will benefit World Central Kitchen, an organization Viaud has been a part of that has worked to develop schooling programs and a bakery in Haiti.

• Cabonnay closes: Cabonnay, an upscale restaurant and wine bar on Bridge Street in Manchester near the center of downtown, has closed its doors after less than two years in business. “We are permanently closed. …

The past two years have been a journey for which we are very thankful,” a message on its website read. “We’ve had incredible staff and their dedication to a farm-to-table experience is lauded.” The three-story 9,000-square-foot space underwent a nearly year-long multimillion-dollar renovation ahead of the restaurant’s opening in May 2017. Owner and CEO Cornelis de Jong told the Hippo when the restaurant opened that the fine-dining concept was meant to mirror that of restaurants in larger urban cities like New York and Chicago. Cabonnay featured an on-site wine emporium and art gallery in addition to a rotating menu of farm-to-table meat and vegetarian appetizers, entrees, desserts and craft cocktails.

Writer Allison Willson Dudas explains: I chose to adapt Erin Holt Health’s Detox-Friendly Vegan Chili because her original recipe pieces together a group of foods that facilitate the body’s natural detoxification process, perfect for the New Year. Because my family consists of passionate meat and dairy eaters, I added ground turkey, chicken broth and included sour cream and cheese as options for toppings. Obviously, these things are not vegan-friendly and I neglected to label the new recipe properly — my mistake. Erin Holt is a leader in her field and is my go-to for help with understanding what food does and why.

New Hampshire Wine Week features dozens of bottle signings, wine tastings, special dinners, seminars and other events for wine aficionados and casual drinkers alike. More than 60 winemakers and ambassadors will brave the cold to make the trip to the Granite State for the week, which this year will take place from Monday, Jan. 21, to Sunday, Jan. 27.

Several countries around the world are represented, as many of these winemakers attend tastings across several of the more than 70 New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet stores and dinners paired with gourmet foods prepared at local restaurants. The week culminates with the Easterseals Winter Wine Spectacular, an expostyle wine tasting that will offer an opportunity to sample from more than 1,800 wines worldwide, following the annual “Cellar Notes” seminar that will be held the night before. “[Wine Week has] become such a big deal to some winemakers that we’ve had to put them on the waiting list for next year,” said Nicole Brassard Jordan, director of marketing, sales, merchandising and warehousing for the New Hampshire Liquor Commission, which organizes Wine Week. “[New Hampshire Wine Week] has continued to bring in new wine industry leaders to meet with consumers and expose them to wine.”

The Spectacular

The centerpiece event of New Hampshire Wine Week, the 16th annual Easterseals Winter Wine Spectacular is happening on Thursday, Jan. 24, from 6 to 9 p.m., at the DoubleTree

by Hilton Manchester Downtown. With more than 1,500 guests and hundreds of wines to taste for the duration of the evening, the event has become the largest wine tasting in northern New England. Upon arrival, visitors are given a program book and a map with each food and wine vendor, designed to help you navigate through the tasting. The program book will likely be uploaded online ahead of the Spectacular as well, for those who want a chance to plan their tasting trips early.

A vast variety of wines is going to be showcased during the Spectacular, not only from wineries in the Granite State, but also from other parts of the country and beyond. One of them will be Flag Hill Distillery & Winery of Lee, which has participated since the very beginning, according to owner and winemaker Brian Ferguson. Flag Hill will be pouring its Sparkling Apple Cranberry, its Sparkling Cayuga and its Cayuga White wines among others during the Spectacular.

“Every year, it’s amazing to me how many new faces we see and how many people we saw that previous year,” Ferguson said. “For me

personally, it’s exciting to be able to stand next to California wines and Italian wines, and … get feedback and perspective. There is always something to be learned.”

Local restaurants participate to serve food alongside the wines, and the Spectacular also features a silent auction and raffle. General admission is $65 per person, while VIP admission is $135, in which visitors receive access to the Bellman’s Cellar Select VIP tasting room Winter Wine Spectacular.

Head to Soup Night with a batch or an empty stomach

New Year Soup Night at the Brookline Public Library. Courtesy photo.

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

If you have a favorite soup recipe you want others to get a taste of, or if you’d rather stick to doing the soup tasting, the Brookline Public Library is hosting its sixth annual Soup Night on Thursday, Jan. 17.

You don’t have to be a library card holder or a town resident to participate in the event, which usually features at least a dozen soups brought in by amateur chefs.

The event started in 2014 as a friendly community gathering and now includes a competitive element of judges choosing the winner, who receives bragging rights for the year as well as the “champion bowl.”

“It is definitely one of our most popular events, and especially this time of year, having a nice sampling of hot soups is really comforting and fun,” Brookline Public Library outreach coordinator Keith Thompson said of Soup Night.

People planning on bringing in their soups are also asked to bring in copies of the recipe, while those who are coming just to taste are welcome to bring in either fresh breads to go with the soups or desserts for afterward. Library staff members also often join in on the fun with soup creations of their own.

Food & Drink Beer, wine & liquor dinners • CRAFT BEER & WINE DINNER WITH LABELLE WINERY & 603 BREWERY A four-course meal prepared and paired with wines from LaBelle Winery in Amherst and craft beers from 603 Brewery in Londonderry. Thurs., Jan. 24, 6 to 9 p.m. LaBelle Winery, 345 Route 101, Amherst. $95 per person.

Visit labellewinerynh.com or call 672-9898.

A panel of “celebrity judges” that usually include notable town or community members attend the event to taste each soup and vote on their favorite. Last year’s winner was a creamy tortellini soup, according to Thompson, but you may encounter everything from a roasted garlic soup to a lentil soup, plus chicken noodle soup, beef or venison stews, black-eyed pea soups, sausage or corn chowders and much more.

“We’ve had kids as young as 9 or 10 years old make a soup with their parents that they’ve brought in, so that’s more than fine,” he said.

Thompson said while people have brought in their soups on the day of the event, they are encouraged to contact the library ahead of time to let them know what they are bringing to avoid too many duplicate soups.

“We do have a sign-up list, but we have yet to be limited to a number of soups,” he said.

2019: Beer resolutions

Make some New Year’s resolutions you can keep

By Jeff Mucciarone

Our Valentine specialty for your special Valentine!

food@hippopress.com

You signed up for a gym membership, didn’t you? You’ve been trying to sustain yourself on kale, almonds and bean sprouts since Jan. 1. Look, I know, 2019 is the year you develop those washboard abs. I’m right there with you.

Except I’m not. I’m living in reality. We both know come March 1 that gym membership will have fallen by the wayside.

Honestly, I hope you went month-to-month on that contract.

Let’s get real about New Year’s resolutions. I’m talking about resolutions you can actually keep — beer-based resolutions.

I resolve to explore at least one new brewery each month. Right? This is doable and enjoyable. Nothing beats a trip to the brewery. You can expand your palate by sampling beers when they’re at their absolute freshest, and quite possibly get a tour.

These need not be “new” breweries; I just mean new to you. So if you’ve never been to the Harpoon Brewery or Sam Adams, a visit to either of those counts just as well. But I am talking about actually going to the brewery, not just buying beer at a store or a bar — that’s perfectly fine but actually visiting a brewery is a different experience. Here are a few I’m aiming to visit over the next few months: Deciduous Brewing Co. in Dover, Kettlehead Brewing Co. in Tilton, Concord Craft Brewing in Concord and Earth Eagle Brewings in Portsmouth.

Knowing more about the brews you like (and don’t like) will help guide you as you explore others. Beer stores can, frankly, be overwhelming these days. If you know you like IPAs with particular hop strains, seek them out. At the very least, it’ll make your shopping more trips more efficient.

Beyond all that, people are hyper-conscious of everything they put in their bodies I resolve to try at least one beer I think these days, so you may as well know what’s I won’t like each month. Times change in your beer, too. and tastes change. Ten years ago I was terrified of whiskey. Now I like it. Perhaps I resolve to take better beer notes.

But if sours and, while I would hardly call sours a you do try a new beer, and you love it, take go-to for me, I appreciate a good sour from a few notes so you remember it. There are time to time.

This is a collection of soundtrack compositions for a series of short films created by an independent artist from Queens, N.Y., one Jeff Düngfelder. The problem with that is that I wasn’t supplied the films, which wouldn’t be a big deal if this were a collection of ambient expressionism, but it’s not; the prettiness of Aphex Twin isn’t there, nor the fascinating experimentation of people like Terry Riley; this obviously has visual keys to its bloopy outbursts and such, but as is, the first number, “Memory,” evokes Burial on a double-dose of Adderall; there’s a ton of good glitch and circuit-bending in there, some transistor-static jumps and such, but without the visual aids it’s hard to grok a point to it (one could argue the same about Burial, I suppose, but any flow to this, I assure you, is lost). This isn’t to dissuade disaffected tech freaks, though; “R O Y G B I V” is super-cool if you like drone (my initial guess is that the core sample is a busy hair-trimmer slowed to a fraction of its normal speed).

I could introduce this singer-songwriter to you by revealing that she was part of the music-backgrounding team of the soap opera One Life to Live, which got her a few (I assume Daytime) Emmy nominations, but you’d immediately think “L.A. hack,” so forget I said it. Actually, she’s much more interesting than that, a native Israeli, a classically trained composer who’s released four albums as of this one, which comes after it looked like she’d hung up her spurs to raise a family in the suburbs, a time she recalls as being lonely, isolating and unfulfilling. Her specialty has always been vanilla soccer-mom pop that’s as slick as a greased dolphin, but there are ragged edges here, starting with the buzzy, no-fi guitar on opener “The Crash,” which touches on Nine Inch Nails for its essence (the guitar part was originally written by the deceased former Marilyn Mansonite Daisy Berkowitz) and Sarah McLachlan for vocal heft.

Towber’s no McLachlan, but the enthusiasm is there, as well as a good bit of Fiona Apple fatalism; the album brims with honesty, certainly. B — Eric W. Saeger

• Our homeboys at Nuclear Blast Records are releasing the 11th LP from Swedish metal band Soilwork, titled Verkligheten, due Jan. 11.

Like so many other bands that don’t use demon noises, crazy random screams and nutty nonsense to get their points across, these guys get lumped into such categories as “melodic death metal” and “alternative metal” (literally a cross between metal and alt-rock), which, were this a different decade, would be more commonly referred to as “arena rock” except with Slayer added for vitamins and minerals. It’s a bit surprising that Americans turn up their noses at most of these kinds of bands, but then again there’s been no real metal revival save for short bursts of Zeppelin-nicking semi-metal like Greta Von Fleet and whatnot, so these melodic metal bands are still stuck in Europe, playing for tens of thousands of people at a pop. Matter of fact, in this case, it’s the first time these lutefisk-gobbling posers have given an album a Swedish title; they’re like, “Fine, we don’t care about America either, so have some Verkligheten on your hamburgers, whatever those are.” And like most of this kind of stuff nowadays, Verkligheten is long on style and short on substance, as if a neo-hair-metal randomizer was fed a bunch of Metallica, Evanescence and Motley Crue songs and tried to make hay out of it. There are a few random feats on here from talented people you similarly haven’t heard of.

• R&B/hip-hop influenced singing person Jacob Banks was the first unsigned act to appear on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. Does this make him special? I suppose so, but for all I know the U.K. trolls us every time they say anything. What I do know for sure is that he’s like a modern-day Bill Withers, real smoky soul, super-chill beats and hooks that will make you say crazy things like, “Well, I’m certainly glad that I purchased this music album.” Mind you, that’s going by the new single “Prosecco” from the fast-coming new LP Village but I’m sure the rest is awesome as well. Definitely a 1970s feel to this.

• The good news is that nothing has changed in 2019; I still detest fedora-hat pub-shlub bands who try to be Train, Grateful Dead and Weird Al at the same time, but I still turn into a mush when I hear good Americana. Rob Baird is a Memphis-grown busker-style folkie with good songs and cleverly plucked guitar arpeggios, and his latest album After All comes out on the 11th. It features his slightly wizened borderline-croak wrapping itself around the single “I Tried,” a pensive, dusty tune with some bright-colored slide guitar for extra pensiveness and stuff — think Sufjan trying to be an unplugged Amos Lee. Yes, that means it’s really good.

• Lastly, we have Randy Houser, with some album called Magnolia! I have no idea who this human is, but the “Randy” tells me he’s probably a former horsie-lasooin’ farmhand who sings about trucks with ridiculously high mileage and girls in genuine cotton blue jeans (do they still sell those?). Yup, total spoiler, my guess was right, he’s got a guitar and a Stetson, and the single, “What Whiskey Does,” sounds exactly what you’d guess, except there’s some ’70s organ in there. What? No, Larry the Cable Guy doesn’t do any rapping on it. — Eric W. Saeger

Put into words

By Angie Sykeny

Art was the inspiration for the poems featured in “Text and Textiles,” a traveling exhibit of art and poetry on display at the Nashua Public Library this month.

In 2017, New Hampshire Poet Laureate Alice B. Fogel teamed up with the Women’s Caucus for Art New Hampshire Chapter to recruit 12 New Hampshire poets and 12 New Hampshire artists to participate in the exhibit.

“Part of my mission as poet laureate is to bring opportunities to other poets, for them to get exposure and inspiration, and to bring poetry to the community in New Hampshire, and that’s what I was trying to do with this exhibit,” Fogel said.

A Facebook page was created where artists posted about themselves and their work, and the poets chose the artists with whom they wanted to partner based on the art that resonated with them. Then, the pairs collaborated to create pieces within their respective media that are connected in some way.

The featured artwork includes textile art as well as paintings, photography, monoprints and mixed media pieces.

“The idea was simply to combine language with something visual and physical, and I know a lot of poets who like to respond to art,” Fogel said.

Fogel, who is also one of the featured poets, said the connection between her poem, “Event Horizon,” and her partner Mary Cornog’s abstract acrylic mixed media painting revealed a similar creative process. “[Cornog] was showing me how her paintings have layers. She adds paint, then scrapes some of it away, then adds more, and in the end, you see almost nothing of the original painting,” Fogel said. “I loved that, because my own writing process is like that. I write a page, then get rid of almost all of it, then start writing again.”

Cornog’s painting has five horizontal strips of different colors with cracks running throughout, which Fogel said inspired the imagery of horizons, light and rocks present in her poem.

Kyle Potvin, another featured poet and former president of the New Hampshire Poetry Society, found that she and her partner Brenda Wilbert shared a common interest in the healing power of art and poetry for health-related issues.

“I went to her home and saw her work, and I shared some of my poems with her, and it seemed like the perfect fit,” Potvin said.

“Through conversation, we decided that we wanted this collaboration to exhibit hope and resilience and strength.”

Wilbert’s mixed media-on-canvas piece

illustrates a series of loops, which Potvin said inspired the theme of loosening knots, “whether real, physical knots or emotional knots,” portrayed in her poem, “Loosen.”

Each pair approached the “Cross Country or You’ll Text / I’ll Exit”, 48” x 24” x 3”, Mixed collaboration in media, Artist: Donna Catana different way. zaro, Poet: Mark DeCarteret.

Fogel and CorCourtesy photo. nog continuously shared their progress with and drew inspiration from each other every step of the way, whereas Potvin and Wilbert had Wilbert complete her piece first, to which Potvin wrote her poetry in response.

The pairs were also able to choose how they would present their work in the exhibit.

Some simply placed or framed the poem and artwork side by side. Fogel and Cornog separated their pieces but used Cornog’s painting as a frame for Fogel’s poem. Others incorporated the poem directly into the artwork; Potvin and Wilbert, for example, printed the poem on a piece of gauze and silk and glued it onto the painting.

Potvin said the collaborations pushed the poets and artists to explore new territory in their work that they wouldn’t have explored otherwise.

“When two creative minds come together and respond to each other, it helps them look at the world in a whole different way,” she said. “They create new types of art that they couldn’t have created as a solitary artist or poet.”

A reception featuring a poetry reading and a panel discussion with the poets and artists will be held at the library on Sunday, Jan. 27. The exhibit will make its final stop at the Newport Library Arts Center in February and March, with a reception on Feb. 1.

A full-color spiral-bound exhibition catalog featuring all of the poems and artwork as well as biographical information about the poets and artists is available for purchase online.

“Text and Textiles” When: On view now through Jan. 30, with a reception on Sunday, Jan. 27, at 3 p.m.

Where: Nashua Public Library, 2 Court St., Nashua Visit: wcanh.org/text-and-textiles; to purchase the exhibition catalog, search “Text and Textile Catalog” on magcloud.com.

POP CULTURE BOOKS

Dreaming in Turtle, by Peter Laufer (St. Martin’s Press, 263 pages) Everyone has a turtle story, asserts journalist Peter Laufer in Dreaming in Turtle, billed by the publisher as a fascinating exploration into turtle culture around the globe.

Laufer’s story involves a rescue named Fred who lives in a box in his living room with a heating pad (so he won’t hibernate) and enjoys the occasional worm treat. Laufer acquired Fred because a Santeria priest in Cuba told him he needed to live with a turtle “for the good energy and for your health.”

Hilarity, or at least something interesting, we presume, will ensue.

But despite the whimsical title and the periodic updates of Good Ol’ Fred (one of which is titled “Fred Relieves Himself”), Dreaming in Turtle doesn’t deliver on its promise. A more honest title would have been 50 Ways to Kill a Turtle, given the narrative that at times approaches turtle snuff porn. Everyone may have a turtle story, but it often involves somebody’s lunch, or an ancient sacrificial rite to restore virility. Not for the benefit of the turtle.

Laufer, a professor at the University of Oregon, wants to raise awareness of the plight of turtles and tortoises, which, like everything else on the planet, are apparently on the brink of extinction despite being one of our closest links to dinosaurs, and one of the hardiest and longest-lived species. Those hard shells may protect them from coyotes and alligators but don’t deter their No. 1 predator, humans, who desire turtle blood for sexual potency, turtle flesh for soup, and tortoise shells for guitar picks, among other things.

Reasonably, before inviting the reader to join the ranks of turtle conservationists like British billionaire Richard Branson (who keeps free-range endangered tortoises on his private Caribbean island), Laufer has to evoke sympathy for the modern turtle’s plight, hence the turtle snuff stories that populate the book with disturbing frequency.

We may be living in an age of technological marvels, but there are still places are on Earth where priests bite the heads off turtles in religious rites, and where butchers carve live turtles because the meat “tastes fresher” that way.

And when turtles aren’t dying, they’re suffering, at farms where they “try to swim in Tupperware so small there’s nowhere for them to go” or at Asian markets where they’re jammed in plastic laundry tubs without food. Even the everyman turtle stories that Laufer collects, the gauzy childhood memories, usually end badly for the little turtles that were common pets before the

FDA banned them because they carry salmonella.

And even when people actively try to help them, turtles often wind up dead or unhappy, as in Arizona, where protected tortoises are being relocated to enable solar farms, with dubious results.

Still, turtles rarely show up as a headline on the The Dodo (“Watch heartwarming video of grateful turtle reunited with owner” said no one ever), and snapping turtles are still so plentiful in Louisiana that wildlife officials encourage their harvest for turtle soup. “The swamp is our pantry,” one Cajun chef tells Laufer.

The turtles’ cause is not helped by their lack of charisma, and Good Ol’ Fred notwithstanding, they don’t respond to names, no matter how long you keep them as pets.

As one veterinarian tells the author, they are “mysterious, cold animals” and people tend to keep them for novelty, not for companionship like other pets. (So many people pluck desert tortoises off highways in the West that it’s believed that there are more in captivity in backyards than in the wild.)

Dreaming in Turtle has many “well, how about that?” moments; especially for those of us not conversant in reptile. (Who knew, for example, that there is a thriving business called Ship My Reptile?) Still, the book at times seem thin, its content phoned in.

The author lists 21 other books he wrote or co-wrote, including Forbidden Creatures: Inside the World of Animal Smuggling and Exotic Pets, and Dreaming in Turtle feels rushed and derivative of other reporting.

But amid the turtle eulogies there occasionally shines a gem of a story, like that of the two inmates in Washington state who, as part of their rehabilitation, are assigned to care for sick pond turtles picked up by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. “It gives me a sense of purpose. Something to do with my time. Something to get involved with. Something I cherish because as long as it’s got a heartbeat, it’s a life,” one inmate says.

Finally, a turtle story with heart and a presumably happy ending, although it didn’t poke its head out of the water until past the halfway point of the book.

It’s unclear who the intended audience is for this book; for animal lovers, there are many images they’d rather not have in their heads, and the people who intentionally run over turtles in the road (we know you’re out there; studies have been done on this) won’t care, if they even read.

Laufer succeeds, however, in eliciting sympathy for the creatures, and if, contrary to his claim, you don’t have a turtle story, you’ll have plenty after two hours with this book.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

If Beale Street Could Talk (R)

Skies; Dodani is on Murphy Brown and Ellis is in Insecure. So in a way, this movie is about a contest for survival between six people, but more in a “who will break big enough not to have to be in any more movies like this” sense.

Do you like edge-of-your-seat suspense?

Do you like nachos? Quality of the suspense offered by this movie is about equal to the quality of your classic concession-stand nachos. C Rated PG-13 for terror/perilous action, violence, some suggestive material and language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Adam Robitel with a screenplay by Bragi Schut and Maria Melnik, Escape Room is an hour and 40 minutes long and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

False imprisonment separates a young couple in If Beale Street Could Talk, the latest movie from Moonlight director Barry Jenkins.

Set in 1970s Harlem, this is the story of 19-year-old Tish (KiKi Layne), deeply in love with early-20something Fonny (Stephan James). Though young, Tish is certain she wants a life with Fonny and, later, just as certain she wants to have his baby, even though, when she learns of her pregnancy, Fonny is in jail.

Weaving backward and forward in time, we see their romance: Tish and Fonny becoming a couple and searching for an apartment.

At the same time, we see their present reality: Fonny in jail awaiting trial, charged with rape.

The woman ID’ed Fonny, we’re told, and a police officer saw him running from the scene.

Except, at the time of the attack, Fonny was in his apartment hanging out with his friend Daniel (Brian Tyree Henry) while Tish prepared dinner. Eventually, we see what might have led the police officer (Ed Skrein) to identify Fonny as the culprit.

Through all of this, Tish is tenderly supported by her family: her unwavering father (Colman Domingo), her fierce sister (Teyonah Parris) and her rock of a mother, Sharon (Regina King).

If Beale Street Could Talk is a sunny warm glow of a love story — all the more impressive because of how bleak the bare facts of it are.

Before the arrest, Tish and Fonny can’t find a landlord willing to rent to an African-American couple. Afterward, Tish faces parenting without a partner and Fonny faces a system where, as his family learns, real justice seems impossible. Institutional racism is the constant enemy that they face, but Tish’s and Fonny’s love (and Tish’s family’s love for her) beats back the grimness and leaves us with a story that is somehow optimistic — realistic about the world they live in but tonally optimistic nonetheless.

This is such an achievement, to pull off all of this without simplifying complexity or seeming Pollyanna-ish. The movie also manages the feat of highlighting the language without feeling stagy or like characters are reading from the source book.

Family Fun for All

Beale Street is also a collection of magnificent performances. Many of the best scenes in this movie involve King’s Sharon. King (who won a Golden Globe for this performance) embodies this movie’s tone, the sense of optimism in the face of unrelenting difficulty, in a way that feels absolutely genuine, whether she is politely but firmly talking to Fonny’s snooty mother (Aunjanue Ellis) or pleading with Fonny’s accuser, Victoria Rogers (Emily Rios) to think back on the horrors of her attack try to remember if the man who attacked her really was Fonny or if she just agreed with the police’s identification of him to put the assault behind her.

Victoria Rogers is another example of the movie’s precision and thoughtfulness. That character could have gone wrong so easily; any attempt at making her feel like a villain would have been an off note. While we don’t get her whole story, the movie respects the part of the story we’re given and she is presented as a layered person making decisions for understandable human reasons.

Layne and James make their characters’ love seem so heartbreakingly sweet and yet real and deep. They impressively pull off the blend of despair and romance in a way that doesn’t cheapen or lessen either emotion. A Rated R for language and some sexual content, according to the MPAA. Directed by Barry Jenkins who also wrote the screenplay based on the novel of the same name by James

the apparent junk car is actually an advanced robotic being, though one who doesn’t know who or where he is. Because of his appearance and robotic hum, she calls him Bumblebee, fixing his parts and trying to keep him from discovery by others. Meanwhile, Decepticons follow Bumblebee’s radio signal to Earth and search for him with help from the U.S. military. Though Army Ranger Jack Burns (John Cena) thinks helping the Decepticons is a bad move — they call themselves “Decepticons,” he points out — the Army higher-ups believe they will be able to defeat all the Transformers and use their parts to build new tech.

Bumblebee allows you to pretend that there were no other Transformer movies. It exists in a late-1980s vacuum of cassette tapes and unfortunate bangs. It is light, bouncy and sunny; fun but without the dumb, aggressive jokiness of the previous movies. And it has a delightful soundtrack (Wang Chung! The Smiths! Bon Jovi!), says this Ye Olde person.

The movie narrows the Transformer focus primarily to Bumblebee and the two Decepticons with a sprinkling of Optimus Prime. This is the perfect balance of Transformers to people and creates an actual, believable emotional relationship between Bumblebee and Charlie while still allowing room for relationships between Charlie and other humans.

The action also keeps things pleasantly narrow — most scenes involve one or two Transformers fighting one other Transformer, with occasional limited involvement by humans. Again, a nice amount of Transformers to make action scenes engaging and with believable stakes and not just a mass of CGI that you want to fast-forward past. B Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action violence, according to the MPAA. Directed

by Travis Knight with a screenplay by Christina Hodson, Bumblebee is an hour and 54 minutes long and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Go Thursday, Jan. 10, 7 p.m., Fody’s Great American Tavern, 9 Clinton St., Nashua. See facebook.com/alanafoden.

• Roots crew: Combining a retro four guys/ one microphone vibe with surprises like a sterling cover of Smashing Pumpkins’ “1979,” Darlingside is one of the best Americana bands on the scene. Their latest album Extralife is thematically darker than 2015’s Birds Say, but the lush harmonies and deft musicianship remain. For their local show, they’re backed by Maine Youth Rock Orchestra. Friday, Jan. 11, 8 p.m., Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S. Main St., Concord. Tickets $20 and up at ccanh.com.

• Funk time: Put on your dancing shoes and get down with Mica’s Groove Train, a six-piece R&B band with an edge led by soulful singer Yamica Peterson.

Tribute show revives ’90s in Manchester

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots share a moment in time, but it was probably a lazy publicist who labeled what they did grunge music. The term accurately describes an anti-fashion attitude they shared, a reaction to preening hair metal and watered down pop that ruled the day, but not the music. Grunge stuck, though, synonymous with flannel shirts and angst, even if there was little homogeneous about the sound of Seattle.

Three of the four bands on the list have tragedy in common. Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley and Scott Weiland all died before their time. More than a few tribute acts have formed to fill the void, and three of them will be on stage for a show dubbed Smells Like Grunge at Jewel Nightclub in Manchester on Saturday, Jan. 19.

Stone Temple Posers recreate their namesake’s show down to Weiland’s military look and bullhorn. Priceless Advice is a Lowell-based band playing Nirvana songs, and Sick Season, out of central Massachusetts, sticks to early-era Alice in Chains material.

A fourth act rounding out the bill recreates music by a band still very much rocking in the free world. Yellow LedVedder is a Maine-based Pearl Jam tribute act that formed last year. Their lead singer finds covering a group that’s spry enough to be named 2018’s Band of the Year by Consequence of Sound is a perfect challenge.

“A lot of the other bands are paying tribute to guys who weren’t around for very long, but I think it helps that Pearl Jam is still on tour,” Ben Kilcollins said in a recent phone interview. “Instead of just guessing, like Nirvana, what would they be doing now, we already have an answer — it’s what they were playing yesterday.”

The fact that Pearl Jam singer Eddie Ved-

der is, at age 54, still “running around on stage, jumping on people’s shoulders and doing the exact same thing he was doing 30 years ago” also motivates his band, which includes bassist Andy Aikens, Ryan Halliburton and Pete Risano on guitars and drummer Jason Young.

“Eddie’s leaving kids in the dust,” he said. “I try to bring to our shows that aspect of their high energy. We played recently and our lead guitarist tripped on his guitar cord and just ate it — he hit the ground.

But he never stopped playing, so I just dove right onto him, and we rolled around on the ground while he kept soloing. Instead of, ‘Oh, he fell,’ people saw us getting even dirtier and went, ‘Never mind — it’s part of it.’”

The band’s name is derived from an early B-side containing lyrics that fans have spent decades trying to decipher, something Vedder exacerbated by improvising new versions of “Yellow Ledbetter” over the years.

Vedder’s habit of changing the words of his songs to fit a mood or current event is emblematic of why Pearl Jam is Kilcollins’ favorite band.

“I have no idea what they’re saying, and I don’t think he does either,” he said.

“Depending on the night and what’s going on locally or globally, he can morph it into anything it needs to be. I love that idea. ...

It’s such a lazy way to be fantastic.”

Kilcollins became a Pearl Jam fan in middle school.

“I stole my sister’s Vs. CD and wore it out.

It was the delivery of the vocals, and I’d never really heard songwriting like it before,” he said. “Not just three chords and here it is; they really put some soul and thought into it, instead of a two-minute pop song.”

He’s sanguine about his favorite band sharing a wide-net moniker with so many diverse and often disparate performers.

“I’d be surprised to hear people shy away from it … because when you say grunge,

Yellow LedVedder. Courtesy photo.

everybody knows what you’re talking about — you think of the four bands that are on the bill.”

Yellow LedVedder fills a need that another tribute act front man described in a recent phone interview.

“Concerts are so expensive, and when you’re someone that’s supporting a couple of kids, it’s not easy to get out and spend that kind of money,” said Mark Lavoie, lead singer for Ozzy Osborne-themed Ozzmosis.

“To be able to go down to the nearby pub and see the next best thing, for some people that may be all they get. If you like the music or a particular band, it’s another avenue for people who cannot get out and see the real deal.”

Donna

Best known for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice, accomplished Nashville based singer-songwriter Liz Longley performs Sunday, Jan. 27, 7 p.m. at Tupelo Music Hall (10 A Street, Derry). Longley has a gift for culling musical treasures as though straight from thin air. In her latest single, she delivers on her ability to craft intimately personal portraits through music with her emotional take on the Four Tops’ “I Can’t Help Myself. ” Soon, she’l head into the studio with five-time Grammy nominated producer, Paul Moak, for her much awaited sixth album.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

WEDNESDAY IS

Regifted?

PRIME RIB NIGHT

Rakhi Desai of Houston didn’t think much at first of the gift she brought home from a white elephant party in mid-December — a brown stuffed bear with a stitched-on heart.

As she looked it over later, Desai noticed the words “Neptune Society” stitched on its foot “and then I started to feel, and it’s almost like little pebbles or rocks” inside, she told KTRKTV. That’s when it hit her: The bear was filled with someone’s cremated remains. The friend who brought the bear to the gift exchange got it at an estate sale, so Desai called the Neptune Society, hoping to reunite the bear with the family it belongs to, but the organization doesn’t track the bears. However, there is a name on the bear’s tag, and Desai is hoping to find the owner through that. “(T)his bear is very special to somebody and belongs in somebody’s family,” she said.

On Christmas Day, Deadspin.com shared a “verbatim” list from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission of emergency room visits paid by Americans who inserted items into various body parts, and shouldn’t have.

An edited sampling: Into the ear: “Popcorn kernels in both ears, ‘feeds her ears because her ears are hungry’”; “Was cleaning ear with Q-Tip, accidentally walked into a wall, pushed Q-Tip into ear”; “Placed crayon in ear on a dare.” Into the nose: “Sneezed and a computer keyboard key came out right nostril, sneezed again and another one almost came out”; pool noodle; piece of steak. Into the throat: mulch; “Swallowed a quarter while eating peanuts”; plastic toy banana.

Vanessa Elizabeth Helfant, 38, of Knoxville, Tennessee, floated a “dog bites man” defense at her DUI hearing on Dec. 13, arguing that several parked cars struck her on March 25, 2017. The jury, however, didn’t buy her story after hearing evidence: Witnesses at the scene followed Helfant to her destination, and when officers arrived and knocked on the door, Helfant called 911 to report people knocking on her door. WATE reported that she eventually admitted that she had drunk half a pint of vodka and smoked marijuana. Helfant, who had no prior offenses, was convicted and faces at least 48 hours in jail and her license will be suspended for a year.

Tiffany Butch, 33, of Timmins, Ontario, Canada, may go down in history not for her psychic gifts, but for being the last person ever charged in Canada with “pretending to practice witchcraft.” On Dec. 11, Butch, whose nickname is the White Witch of the North, was charged under Section 365 of the Criminal Code for demanding money in return for lifting a curse. Two days later, that law was repealed. Marc Depatie, spokesperson for the Timmons police force, said Butch gave a

customer “a sense of foreboding that a dreadful thing was about to happen to their family ...” But Butch denies the charge, saying other psychics framed her. “People proclaimed me a witch here and gave me a nickname, but I’m not a witch. I’m a psychic,” she told CBC News. Butch is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 22.

People different from us

Asparagus is healthy and delicious. But for 63-year-old Jemima Packington of Bath, England, the columnar vegetable is much more: Packington is an asparamancer, a person who can foretell the future by tossing the spears into the air and seeing how they land.

“When I cast the asparagus, it creates patterns and it is the patterns I interpret,” Packington said. “I am usually about 75 to 90 percent accurate.” In fact, out of 13 predictions she made for 2018, 10 of them came true. What’s in store for 2019? Packington tells Metro News that England’s women’s soccer team will win the World Cup; “A Star Is Born” will win an Oscar; and fears over Brexit will be largely unfounded. Oh, and asparagus will see an all-time high in sales.

Overreactions

Alarmed neighbors in Perth, Australia, called police after hearing a child screaming and a man repeatedly shouting, “Why don’t you die?!” on Jan. 1, according to the Evening Standard. Multiple units of officers arrived at the property, only to learn that the unnamed man, an extreme arachnophobe, had been trying to kill a spider. His wife confirmed to police that her child had been screaming, and her husband apologized to police for the confusion. The spider didn’t survive.

Weapon of choice

Rogelio Tapia, 26, was arrested in Des Moines, Iowa, on Dec. 31 after a dispute at a QuikTrip around 3 a.m. The store clerk and witnesses told police Tapia chased the clerk around the store and assaulted him with a banana after the clerk tried to intervene in a domestic situation. According to KCCI, Tapia caused about $1,000 in damage; he was charged with assault and third-degree criminal mischief.

Bright idea

If super-sharp shears snipping near your ears isn’t enough of a rush, you might want to visit Madrid, Spain, and the salon of Alberto Olmedo, who uses ninja swords and blowtorches to cut hair. Claiming his approach is inspired by Renaissance tradition, Olmedo told Euronews that swords allow a hairdresser to cut hair from both sides of the head at once, resulting in a more even finish. He started perfecting the skill when he became “disillusioned with scissors.” Olmedo also offers a cut with claws worn on the ends of his fingers, and plans are in the works to bring lasers into his work.
