GRANITE VIEWS JODY REESE

Retire this trick Not too long ago it was Democrats and folks on the left incredulously asking how Republicans could shut down government to advance their legislation. Now it’s Republicans saying the same thing after Democrats shut down the federal government for a few days to advance their legislation.

Is it any wonder that most Americans have a negative view of Congress, politicians and all the special interests vying for favor?

In a few weeks the country will likely be watching again as cable news counts down to the next federal government shutdown. It’s enough to dismay even the most optimistic.

But our political process is a messy one by design. I doubt the framers thought it would be this messy or so dysfunctional as to actually unnecessarily close government offices, but it was designed to be tricky. They feared the rule of one person, one group and the great majority. Their goal was a system so convoluted that it would be hard for someone to take control of it. And boy did they succeed.

Government shutdowns, however, are rather new to our federal political system. They started under President Ronald Reagan in shoving matches with the Democrat-held Congress and heated up after Republicans took over the House of Representatives in the mid 1990s during President Bill Clinton’s term. Shutdowns went away for almost 20 years as a political tool until 2013 when Republicans shut down the federal government to force President Barack Obama to defund Obamacare.

This latest round centers around a decision

by President Donald Trump to end an Obama program that allowed children brought here illegally to stay here and legally work and go to school. Trump has been trying to leverage allowing those folks to stay to get more funding for border security, including the building of a wall or barrier along the southern border with Mexico.

Interestingly, there are enough votes in the House and Senate to pass legislation allowing these people to continue to live here legally, but not enough in any one party and not enough when the legislation gets mixed with border security measures. It’s this clash that led many Democrats to believe they had to use shutting down the government as leverage to get legislation passed to allow those people to stay here legally.

Almost certainly in a few weeks we’ll be right back where we were earlier this week: with a government shutdown looming.

It’s time to retire this trick. No matter how good the cause, the continued operation of the federal government shouldn’t be used as leverage. There are other ways — other elections to make it right.

NEWS & NOTES VA report

A recent report by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel found that many of the concerns raised

by Manchester VA Medical Center whistleblowers last year were validated and that the Department of Veterans Affairs failed to investigate some of the complaints raised by staff members. Instead, the report said, the VA tended to paint a rosier picture of the situation. In a press release, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said she hopes ongoing investigations will shed more light on the situation in the Manchester facility. “It’s disturbing that the VA did not properly respond or investigate these matters.

The VA must take this report seriously and take immediate action,” Shaheen said. Other congressional delegates released similar statements. A VA spokesperson said they disagree they were slow to address the concerns, which included rusty surgical tools and a fly-infested operating room.

Republican Gov. Chris Sununu has also come out against the offshore drilling proposal.

Homeschool bill

raise the maximum deposit from one month of rent to two months.

It has the support of the Apartment Association of New Hampshire, New Hampshire Property Owners Association and New Hampshire Realtors. But social welfare groups turned out in opposition at a recent hearing, arguing it would make an already difficult housing situation worse for many. The state is already experiencing high rents, limited housing stock and effectively no vacancy with a historic low rate around 1 percent.

Several homeschooling parents and their kids descended upon the Statehouse on Jan. 25 to express their opposition to a bill that would increase oversight regulations, NHPR reported. Sponsors of the bill say it will ensure children aren’t being neglected by requiring their annual assessments be reviewed by nonpublic school principals or state officials.

Some New Hampshire lawmakers want to replicate a plan in Kentucky that would create work requirements for able-bodied Medicaid recipients. WMUR reported Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley and other Republicans want to model the state’s work requirements after Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin’s plan, which was recently approved. As proposed in the Granite State, requirements would also be satisfied with job training, education or caring for a dependent relative.

The state Department of Health and Human Services determined the cancer rates in Merrimack are no different than those in the rest of the state, according to a press release. The health department reviewed cancer rates in the community based on the concerns of residents after a Saint-Gobain plastics plant in town contaminated some local wells with perfluorochemicals, which are known to cause certain types of cancer. Officials said they compared the incidence rates of 26 different types of cancer and found no elevated numbers in Merrimack.

VEDA

A police dog named Veda has been medically cleared after it was bitten — by a human. A New Hampshire man in Boscawen has been charged with resisting arrest, assaulting an officer and interfering with a police dog, after the man exchanged bites with the dog. State Police were asked to respond to a shooting at a Boscawen home and two men in the residence wanted on outstanding warrants. One man was hiding under a pile of clothes. He placed the dog in a choke hold and bit it on the head.

Elliot Hospital: Ask the Pediatric Surgeon

Q.

Dr. Soukup, My 5 week old son spits up a lot and it is becoming more forceful when eating.

He seems hungry. Should I be worried?

Rachel

Dear Rachel, Many babies spit up during or between feeds. This is very common and we refer to it as reflux. As long as a baby is eating well and growing, then pediatricians usually provide reassurance and most babies will outgrow this within the first year. We start to worry about reflux when babies are not growing the way that they should. Pediatricians will sometimes recommend formula changes or dietary changes for nursing moms or sometimes prescribe medications for reflux. If, however, “spit-ups” are progressing to more forceful or large amounts of vomiting, then further tests are warranted. It is very important to make sure that the color of the vomit is not green. This can suggest a much more serious cause for feeding problems and should be evaluated immediately in a pediatric emergency department.

One of the more common causes of projectile vomiting in babies is a condition called pyloric stenosis. The pylorus is a circular muscle that must relax in order to let the stomach empty, and this muscle can sometimes get enlarged causing a blockage. This condition occurs in 1 in 300 births and we don’t exactly know

why it happens, although genetics likely plays a role. Pyloric stenosis can easily be diagnosed with a simple ultrasound. Often these babies have lost weight due to the vomiting, and show signs of dehydration with fewer wet diapers, but continue to act hungry even after vomiting. Once a baby is diagnosed with pyloric stenosis, they need to be admitted to the hospital for IV fluids and to correct electrolytes. Ultimately, pyloric stenosis does need to be repaired with surgery, but this can be done using a tiny camera in the baby’s belly (laparoscopy) and usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Parents are understandably terrified for their new baby to have to be put to sleep during surgery. To avoid this, our pediatric anesthesiologists can provide a spinal anesthesia, which allows them to be awake, happily sucking on a pacifier during their procedure! Babies can start to eat right away and are usually home within the first 24 hours from surgery. A dose or two of Tylenol is all that is needed afterwards. I take care of a lot of babies with this problem, and families are amazed at how quickly this can be fixed. Thanks for your question!

City unemployment

Statewide job numbers belie deeper workforce problem

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

New Hampshire unemployment numbers hit a floor in 2017. While unemployment rates in big cities like Manchester and Nashua are fairly similar to the statewide numbers, other places like Concord and Portsmouth have much lower rates.

The extremely low unemployment in the state is a sign of a shrinking labor force, according to Annette Nielsen, a labor economist at New Hampshire Employment Security. She said looking at those city-bycity breakdowns can sometimes reveal that the labor shortage is actually worse than we might have thought by simply looking at the statewide numbers. Statewide, the non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate started out at 3.2 percent in January 2017. By last December, that had dropped to 2.3 percent.

Meanwhile, Concord started the year at 2.6 percent and ended at 1.9. Similarly, Portsmouth went from 2.3 percent to 1.8 percent over the course of the last 12 months. Nielsen said anything under 2.5 percent is essentially considered full employment.

Manchester started 2017 at slightly above the statewide rate and ended at the exact same rate of 2.3 percent in December. Nielsen said the Queen City probably hewed closer to the statewide number because it is the largest municipality in the state by population and is therefore more representative.

But Concord and Portsmouth were likely lower because they had smaller populations and limited housing options. And Portsmouth proper has a high cost of living, which means many of its workers may not live in the city.

Unemployment numbers start to look worse in more northerly and rural areas because there are fewer industries and options for commuting, but those places also tend to have smaller populations, so the unemployment figures aren’t enough to skew the state rate.

Nashua’s unemployment is markedly higher than the statewide figure, starting at 3.8 percent in January, peaking at 4 percent in February and ending at 2.6 in December.

Nielsen said this is likely due to the higher share of retail trade and manufacturing industries in the Gate City. Those are industries that are particularly struggling to fill jobs as the labor pool dwindles or ages out.

SB Myth vs. Reality — It’s Critical to Score First: (1) The Patriots have never scored in the first quarter in any of their five SB wins in the Brady-Belichick era. (2) They scored first on a field goal by ex-Eagles kicker Tony Franklin in SB 20 before da Bears ran off the next 44 straight in an annihilation the scope of which the 46-10 final doesn’t begin to tell. (3) While the Packers scored first in 1996 Drew Bledsoe and company led 14-10 after a dynamic first quarter.

The Eagles’ Soft Schedule: (1) They played only three teams with winning records. (2) You can only beat who you play, though playing against bad teams make the team stats scarier than they actually are. (3) They played against just two good offenses vs. the one-and-done Rams when Jeff Goff put 35 points on the board in a 42-35 Eagles win and Atlanta who scored just 10 points in their playoff matchup. (4) The Falcons got just seven against the Patriots defense.

Stat That Makes You Think: (1) The stout Eagles defense was the only team in the NFL to hold their opponents under 1,000 yards on the ground. (2) Belichick and Brady are 15-0 in the playoffs when, like on Sunday, facing teams they did not face during the regular season (from Ben Volin of the Boston Globe).

Patriots History That Makes Philly Think: (1) In their last two Super Bowlwinning seasons and this year after trailing the Ravens, Seahawks and Jaguars by 10 points each time entering the final period they scored 14 points in the fourth quarter to win. (2) They were down 28-3 to Atlanta in last year’s SB before rallying to score 25 straight in the finals 16 minutes of regulation and six more to win in OT. (3) In SB 36 John Madden said they should sit on the ball with under 2 minutes left and the ball inside their 10 and play for overtime. They didn’t do it and the dynasty got started when Adam V. won it a short time later.

Trending: After a horrendous start, the Patriots defense has given up just 14 a game since Week 5.

Biggest Philadelphia Advantage: They are great against the run in allowing just 986 yards all year, while the Patriots gave up over 1,500 rushing yards.

Key Patriots Players Besides Tom Brady: (1) Trey Flowers — their best pass rusher needs a big game. (2) Brandin Cooks — up and down all year, but with six catches for 100 yards and huge interference calls for a combined 75 yards on two TD drives he was big last week. With Gronk likely double-teamed he needs to again be productive down field to keep the safeties from crowding the line of scrimmage. (3) Ryan Allen — this will be a game of field position, so hopefully he matches the fantastic game he had last week by pinning Philly deep in their end to force long drives to get a TD and/or create shorter ones for the Pats.

Patriots Game Keys: (1) Pass protection — the Eagles can be passed on, which, since they’re so good against the run, figures to be how the Patriots will attack. So they must give Brady enough time to do that. (2) Red area — as usual the defense will give up a lot of yards, so they must make Philly settle for FGs over TDs when they get here — something they didn’t do vs. Tennessee or Jacksonville, who scored TDs all four times they got in the red zone. (3) Pass rush — while Nick Foles had a very solid, turnover-free game in the destruction of Minnesota, he threw six picks in the three games before that. So finding ways to keep him off balance with regular pressure and well-timed blitzing could force a big mistake or two.

Prediction: The Eagles move the ball and stifle the Pats on the ground, but the clock strikes midnight on Philadelphia’s impressive season when the Pats defense wins the turnover battle, and they spread the field as Danny Amendola earns a new contract from GM Belichick with a big game and Brady throws for 350 plus. Patriots 27, Eagles 23.

The Patriots’ latest Super Bowl appearance comes your way Sunday at 6:30 p.m. when they face the Philadelphia Eagles while attempting to win a third SB over a four-year span for a second time in the Brady-Belichick era.

That provides one last chance to offer my two cents on various points of view, stats, and historical factoids that probably only I am interested and you’re stuck reading, about the teams, participating cities and their fans.

Reason to Like Philly: (1) Uh, uh, uh — oh yeah, good uniforms, with cool helmets. (2) That’s all I can think of.

Reasons to Hate Philly: How much space do I have? OK, I’ll be brief. (1) Philly sports fans of all stripes are beyond obnoxious. (2) Rex Ryan’s even more obnoxious father Buddy Ryan was once their head coach. (3) See No. 4 in the next entry. (4) They fired Chip Kelly.

Franchise History vs. Franchise History: (1) Face of the franchise: Tom Brady vs.

Steve Van Buren or Chuck Bednarik. (2) Last NFL title: NE, 11 months 27 days ago, vs. Philly, 57 years ago in 1960. (3) Most important moment: Bill Belichick named HC of NEP in 2000 vs. uh, uh, uh, dissolving their WWII-induced merger with the Pittsburgh Steelers when they were called (I kid you not) the Pitt-Philly Steagles after 1943.

(4) Most typical fan attitude moment: Fans pack Gillette for meaningless season final despite massive snowstorm late in the Bruschi era and playfully pelt each other with snowballs vs. Santa Claus getting booed and pelted with snowballs at the Vet when Eagles play on Christmas Day in 1968.

Best Franchise Nickname for Player/ Coach: NE’s Gronk vs. Philly’s Greasy Neale, though that would’ve fit one of those shady Louisiana governors better than an NFL head coach.

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S PEOPLE, PLACES & OTHER STUFF

Memorial, Bedford girls roll The Big Story: That would be the Memorial girls basketball team, which moved to 10-0 on the year by week’s end with help from wins over a pair of Queen City rivals.

The first was a 67-44 thumping of Trinity when Halleigh Shea, Lyric Grumblatt and Mel Presseau each had 12 points. On Friday, they had an easy time until Central exploded for 28 fourth-quarter points to turn a 42-20 after three quarters runaway heading into a 50-48 nail-biter they just held on to win. Presseau led all scorers with 16.

Sports 101: For the moment Tom Brady is tied with this guy for winning the most Super Bowls as a player with five. Name that player.

Who’s Also Hot: The winning streak hit nine for the Derryfield basketball team with a 54-42 win over Portsmouth Christian Academy when Cody Bournival and Andrew Dubreuil combined for 25 points.

Knick of Tyme Award: To Mia Len, whose two free throws with seven seconds remaining iced a 44-43 Souhegan win over Windham and gave her a game-high 28 points.

Then on Friday Tyson Thomas hit a three in the final minutes to hand the Green another bitter loss, this time 57-54 to Memorial.

Sports 101 Answer: The great pass rusher Charles Haley is tied with Brady as the other player to win a record five Super Bowls as a player. He won twice with San Francisco and three times with Dallas.

On This Date – Feb. 2 in 1959: Since the Trophy is named after him, it’s fitting the great Vince Lombardi became Green Bay Packers head coach 59 years ago today. With the local angle being he replaced legendary St. Anselm football star Ray “Scooter” McLean. What followed was domination of the 1960s. They were in the title game a year later, but lost, as the (gulp) Philadelphia Eagles won their last NFL title. Lombardi and his QB Bart Starr never lost another playoff game as they won NFL crowns in 1961, ’62, ’65 and the first two Super Bowls in ’66 and ’67 over the next seven years before stepping down.

Norm Van Brocklin: Strong-willed (mostly) L.A. Rams QB/punter from the days when his ethnically themed nickname “The Dutchman” wasn’t fodder for weeks of “OMG, how insensitive” yakking on MSNBC. Set NFL record with 554 passing yards vs NY Yanks in 1951 five-TD beauty. Went from player to head coach of Minnesota a month after retiring in 1960.

Steve Van Buren: Four-time NFL rushing champ for the Philadelphia Eagles with the cool name.

Chuck Bednarik: Eagles all-timer most notable for (1) a cool nickname, “Concrete Charlie,” (2) being the NFL’s last two-way player (center/middle linebacker) and (3) delivering the hit in the famed 1960 picture off a prone Frank Gifford that knocked Gif out of football for the 1961 season.

Bart Starr: Clutch, game-managing, ah, star QB for the dynastic Green Bay Packers forgotten to the historically challenged who keep yakking that five rings makes Tom Brady the G.O.A.T. Well, Bart also won five rings in seven years, while being a best ever 9-1 in the playoffs and 2-0 in the SB.

A conversation with Seth Meyers

By Michael Witthaus

An Emmy-winning career that includes 13 years as a cast member and head writer at Saturday Night Live, host of a buzzworthy late night talk show and, most recently, co-producer with Lorne Michaels of the new sitcom AP Bio, got its start at a Manchester High School West talent show. At least that’s what Seth Meyers said in a wide ranging interview that touched on his childhood in Bedford with his SNL and Monty Pythonloving parents, his college best friend who shares a spot with him on the vanguard of Trumpocalypse humor and his feelings about occupying a space on New Hampshire’s three-faced comedy Mount Rushmore.

Meyers, who is coming to the Capital Center for the Arts on Saturday, Feb. 10, to do two benefit shows for CASA of New Hampshire and the Granite State Children’s Alliance, spoke by phone from the set of HIPPO | FEBRUARY 1 - 7, 2018 | PAGE 12

were, what stands out for you? What was memorable, and was there anything that surprised you?

I guess it surprised me that … Lorne Michaels said it would take 18 months before we figured out what the show was.

And my ego is such that I thought internally, “Oh, we’ll figure it out in six months.” And it took us almost exactly 18 months! But, you know, we were very aided by the election happening, and it being an election that was cartoonish to some degree, and it allowed the show to focus on politics and find a voice.

Now we’re two and half years into that, and we know what the show is every night, and what we’re trying to accomplish.

Late Night With Seth Meyers (which airs weeknights at 12:35 a.m. on NBC) on Thursday, Jan. 25.

Hi Seth, and thanks for taking time to talk; your hometown readers will be very pleased .

My pleasure! Thanks for doing the thing.

It’s great that you’re coming back to town for two really worthy causes, CASA of New Hampshire and Granite States Children’s Alliance.

I can’t think of a better reason to come back.

Let’s start with your show, Late Night With Seth Meyers. First of all, an early congratulations for four years on the air. Looking back on your first term, as it

How was the transition from performing to hosting and doing interviews?

Well, that was the thing I had the least

amount of background for when the show started. I will say ultimately that interviewing people is just being a good listener, and coming from improv comedy, listening is a skill of huge importance. So I just try and listen as much as I can when I have guests on. When it gets to that part of the show, it feels for me like the work is over; the hard part is done. We spend all day writing, so when it gets to people coming out and telling me stories, I try to enjoy it and think how lucky I am to be in the chair that I sit in.

Are any guests more of a challenge than others?

Politicians are the hardest guests, especially when they’re running for something.

This is true for Republicans and Democrats. They will just answer the question they wish you had asked them [laughs]. They have no interest in going off a sort of polltested script, and it’s very hard to get them to loosen up and realize there’s a unique opportunity when you’re on at 12:30 at night on a comedy show to give a different message. Or at least give it in a different way, a more fun way than you would on, say, Meet the Press or Morning Joe. One of the interesting elements of the show is the guest drummer; you have guest musicians, but particularly a lot of guest drummers. How did that happen?

Well, it’s funny. We started with our band leader as our drummer — Fred Armisen. But we knew from the beginning that Fred would be limited in the amount of time he could do on the show, and we figured out that there are all of these talented drummers out there. It’s sort of a world that has an intense fan base but maybe isn’t as mainstream known as we thought it should be. And it’s been great. So many drummers love doing it. I have a whole new appreciation for drumming. Because I’m really hearing the same songs, but you realize how the DNA of a different drummer will change the entire week of music when you have him there. Right now, this week, we have a heavy metal drummer with Brann Dailor [Mastodon], so the beginning of the show is really different when you have someone like that.

I want to talk about Manchester, your growing up. Your mom, father and brother were on the show on Thanksgiving, and I got the impression that your household was a pretty funny one; you were laughing a lot. Is that the right impression?

Yeah, that’s very accurate. My brother and I always say we realized my mother laughs at everything my father says and it’s

always been the case. So in order to get any attention at a young age we kind of realized, I think, comedy is the key to getting heard in this household. So ... that became our currency as well. Not just because of how much fun it was to tell stories and laugh at one another, but our parents had really good comedy taste. They were the kind of people who introduced us to shows like SNL and Monty Python when we were probably way too young for them.

That makes a big difference. When you’re watching those shows when you’re 10 or 11 years old, you realize ... that not only made me want to do comedy, but it made me want to do a kind of comedy that I would find intellectually challenging.

You really didn’t get into performing until you got to Northwestern. I wondered, did the bug bite you before that? You talked about doing an impression of your Constitutional Law teacher at a school talent show and crushing it.

Yeah, we did a couple of comedy nights, which was great. I remember one of my friends had an idea and West High let us put on this comedy night. It was really well attended, and it is something I look back on as probably where I most caught the bug, which was going out and — by the way, it was impressions of teachers, and then it was our versions of SNL sketches with names of students dropped in — but it was a thrill. And by the time I got to Northwestern there was an improv troupe there, and I realized that’s what I wanted to do.

But for sure, the bug was in the auditorium at Manchester West.

You went to Northwestern. Your brother did too, and your mom and dad met there.

Was it always understood that you’d go to the same college as mom and dad?

Not at all. We really didn’t talk about it much, and back then you didn’t even see Northwestern anywhere. It wasn’t like they had a football team that was on television.

It’s not like anyone in our family owned any Northwestern hats or sweatshirts or anything. But it was a funny thing — my mom went there, and she was a theater major. My dad was an engineering major.

Interesting the way it turned out. You started in film, not a performing major.

Was there a spark that made you move away from that and in the direction you eventually went?

Well, there were a couple of things. One, the kids who were theater majors at Northwestern were really great in a way — they had done more than two comedy nights at Manchester West High by the time they got to Northwestern. So that was the first thing, I was a little intimidated to try and get into performing. Then the thing about filmmaking, which I have so much respect for to this day — I realized early on you have to be incredibly patient, and it’s incredibly timeconsuming. And that is not my best skill; I’m kind of a guy who works well on deadline. I don’t ever want to take on a task that one all-nighter can’t fix. So I was drawn to the improv comedy troupe, which is basically no preparation ahead of time. And then I was really lucky that later in my career I ended up on shows like SNL and Late Night that are really about doing high-intensity work in a very short envelope of time.

Who were your role models at that point, inspirations, guiding lights?

It’s really hard to think past those shows.

I didn’t just watch SNL and Monty Python.

I bought the books, and read through old scripts and would watch SNL not only when it aired, which was mid-’90s when I was in high school, but I would also watch the reruns of the ’70s shows that aired at 11 o’clock every night. Those were the shows I was obsessed with, and sort of at the end of my time in high school we all got very into David Letterman. He was a real inspi-

ration to me as well. And as far as standup comedy albums we used to listen to a lot were people like Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, Nichols & May; those were voices that were really important to me as well.

Working in Boom Chicago [an American improv comedy troupe based in Amsterdam that has several famous alumni, including Oscar-nominated director Jordan Peele] was foundational for you; it literally sent you around the world. Was ambition on your mind when you began with them, or did the desire to make it big happen because of and during the experience?

Interesting question. I was in Chicago at the time, waiting tables, so that I could have time to do improv shows. My goal, my dream at that point, was to do Second City in Chicago. And I was really lucky to have friends who were really risk-taking, and the kind of people you just hitched your ambition to. One of my friends said these guys that have a comedy troupe in Amsterdam are having auditions and we kind of started by doing it as a lark and we got hired. ... The thing that drew me to it more than ambitious sort of thinking — it would be what catapulted me to the next thing, which in the end it did. ... I was just drawn to the idea of living in Europe and doing comedy. I’d never been; I didn’t have a passport before that. And I went for a year, and then ended up staying for two and met people who were important in regards to how everything went after that.

Let’s talk about the Golden Globes; congratulations on surviving that, you did a great job.

Thank you.

When you got the call to host, had the Hollywood harassment story begun? Did you know what you might be walking into?

Yeah, I got asked fairly late. It was around mid-November, and I think the Weinstein stuff was sort of October. So we knew what we were getting into, and our

first instinct was, this is a terrible year to do this. Then once that wave of reaction passed, I think we all realized that it would be a really special year to try and do it … and it turned out to be true. I think the audience was looking for it, and I think wanted to talk about it for some catharsis. There was a high level of difficulty, but to be fair, there always is when you host stuff like that. So I’m glad we did it this year. Also, you know, the reality is I always wanted to do it, and you don’t really get to choose which year you get asked. I couldn’t really say, “No, but I would love to wait for 2021 when everything dies down [laughs].” So you do it when you do it, and part of doing these kind of shows and taking on challenges like that is you’re kind of a junkie for the risk of walking in and not knowing what you’re going to get until you start.

Likening yourself to a monkey being shot into space was great.

Yeah.

I did the show, I was in awe of the people who kept their heads on straight and were the ones who called the shots in regards to how to deal with that tricky night.

You ultimately became head writer.

The other night [current SNL head writers] Michael Che and Colin Jost talked about skits they didn’t do. What are some of yours?

Ha-ha. The thing — and Colin and I were talking about this as well — when you first start at the show, you’re so upset when your skits don’t get in. But when you’re head writer, you’re kind of thrilled when they don’t get picked. Because nothing’s worse than bombing. Anything on the fence, you kind of lean toward not doing it. But I will tell you that I made a lot more fun of Jost for his terrible sketches when we worked together than he could ever make fun of me for mine.

You did a skit with Donald Trump in 2004, way before he even hinted at being The “Jokes Seth a candidate — what Can’t Tell” segment was that like? borrowed from Looking back on Late Night for the it now is insane. I show — did you remember — and know right away I should point out that would be part that I forget a lot of of the Globes? the sketches in my Yeah, you know 12 and a half years … we also were there just because of aware that probably the volume — but I wasn’t ideal — havremember a sketch ing a white guy host we did called “DonSETH MEYERS ON ald Trump’s House the Globes this year WORKING WITH COLIN JOST of Wings” because didn’t sound like it made perfect sense I really loved it, and right off the bat. So we realized we had this he was a really good sport in it. And I forway — we addressed it on our show, and got that there was another one where I played we could bring it to the Globes. Then we his son. I watched that recently and I thought, had to go out and find people willing to do “Oh man, we are fully through the looking it. It was great to find people in the audi- glass.” But he was … I could say, and hopeence who were good sports, and we were fully people won’t be too offended about this, lucky that we had a director at the Golden but he did not have a lot of take on what was Globes who figured out really quickly on funny and wasn’t. If the audience laughed, the fly how to shoot it, and it was fun. I’m he agreed, and if they didn’t, he agreed with really glad we did it. the audience. He far more reacted to that than what people close to him were telling him.

SNL really launched you [and] your first show was the one right after 9/11.

Sounds very familiar.

Was starting that night a heavy task?

Yeah, it turns out he was trying some I think that night was so much harder for stuff out. people who were in charge of the show then, people like Lorne and Tina [Fey], who had Your show starts out every night with done the show without that burden, and it “let’s get to the news” and I wondered what was hard enough as it was, and then had you thought about comedians as informato figure out how to address all that stuff. tion deliverers. “Weekend Update” was a Being new, I think my first show as a new snarky take on the news but what you’re cast member was just as stressful and ter- doing is real information.

15 watch it with a ton of jokes alongside the news. I think it maybe makes it go down a little bit easier. The other thing is, whatever you think about Donald Trump, I think you would have to admit he has eroded the standards for how a president is supposed to act and talk. He’s certainly lowered the discourse as well. So journalists are sometimes hamstrung because they’re still living by their journalistic standards, and I’m glad they are.

But there are times I feel that comedians are so much better served to talk about the dayto-day of the Trump administration, because we also don’t have any standards [laughs].

Your old friend Peter Grosz plays Vice President Pence on The President Show, another Trump-themed parody. Do the two of you talk about your personal roles in the current national narrative?

We just talk about how lucky we are. Pete and I were freshmen best friends at Northwestern.

We’ve been doing this for a really long time; he was the one who convinced me to go to Amsterdam, and he was one of the first hires I made on this show. And so as surreal as it is to have done a sketch with Donald Trump and see where we are now, it’s more surreal to think about where Pete Grosz and I were in 1993 when we met and where we are now. So it’s not a day goes by that I don’t thank my lucky stars for everything that’s turned out.

wonderful writer and performer named Mike O’Brien, who was at SNL when I was there. He just wrote this really funny script and I’m lucky to be one of the producers on it. I can only say that my role is just watching episodes after they shoot them, reading scripts … I add so very little, only because it’s so good when it comes in. And Glenn and Patton are just perfect, and really fun to watch.

Final question – you are one of the big three names of New Hampshire comedy along with — Sarah and Sandler...

Sarah Silverman and Adam Sandler, yes. How does it feel to be in the pantheon of the state, and what are your thoughts on New Hampshire comedy?

I’m sure there are a lot of really great and exciting things happening in New Hampshire right now that I sadly don’t know about because I’m not part of the scene. But I can only tell you that when both Sarah and Sandler had made SNL I really thought that meant there was no way a SETH MEYERS third person from the greater Manchester area was going to find his way on to the show. So people say, “Are they the ones that made you think you could do it?” and I say no, they were the ones who made me think I couldn’t [laughs]! Lightning isn’t supposed to strike three times. The great gift of Adam and Sarah is the first time I met them both, all I had to say was where I was from and they immediately gave me an hour of their time, and they were so kind. I think being from New Hampshire means as much to them as it does to me.

... I really thought there was no way a third person from the greater Manchester area was going to find his way onto the show.

he Patriots return to the Super Bowl for the second year in a row, the third time in four years and the eighth time under coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.

They’ll take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Feb. 4, at 6:30 p.m. on NBC, with Justin Timberlake performing at halftime. We have a

By Dave Long With the Patriots back in the Super Bowl, I once again asked local sports lovers what they think will happen when the Pats play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Here’s a sampling of what they predicted via email, phone and in-person conversations, sorted into somewhat arbitrary categories:

Defending Hippo prediction champ

Dick Lombardi, Bedford insurance magnate and G-Men loyalist: Brady will be Brady, Bill will be Bill, Foles will be HIPPO | FEBRUARY 1 - 7, 2018 | PAGE 18

Foles, Eagles will be Eagles, and Philly fans will once again be the worst. Patriots 27, Eagles 20 [Last year Lombardi predicted a 34-27 win for the Pats against the Atlanta Falcons; the actual score was 34-28, with the Patriots taking the win after forcing the first overtime in Super Bowl history.]

Sports pages readers

Tom Raiche of Hudson: We’re going to need every weapon as the Eagles are very good. But then again we have the GOAT. Patriots 27, Eagles 24 (with Gronk), Eagles 24, Patriots 20 (without Gronk) Doc Porter, an ex-Giants season ticket holder starting in (yikes) 1956: I’ve

few suggestions for where to get your game-day food, whether you want to watch the game at a bar or in the comfort of your own recliner. Plus, Hippo sports writer Dave Long gathered some predictions for the outcome of the game from local sports fans. (Check out his weekly sports column on page 10 for more analysis.)

been over Tom Brady since he snubbed the Obama ceremony, can’t stand Coach Bill’s rudeness and passionately want Philly to stop New England’s dominance. Fly high Eagles, but the Pats seem locked into a successful groove. Patriots 31-20 Jay O’Halloran: I look at the coach/QB matchup in big games. The Patriots have been there before and have beaten some really good defenses. They should score enough to win and need the D to eliminate big play as they have since Week 4. Patriots 23-13

It’s personal

Allen Lessells, UNH Athletics Insider: It all revolves around the Wildcats, does it

not? Flying in the face of my New England upbringing, I’ve got Corey Graham intercepting Tom Brady in the last minute with assistance from fellow Wildcat and assistant Eagles secondary coach Dino Vasso.

Eagles 27, Patriots 24 Mark Ferdinando, Carignan Hoop League Hall of Famer: Everyone knows why I’m picking against the Eagles! Spoken like a card-carrying member of the Best Friends of (UNH and Eagle alum) Chip Kelly Society. Patriots 28, Eagles 13 Diane Fitzpatrick, CEO of the Manchester Boys & Girls Club: I can’t pick against the Patriots after the Eagles fired (Boys & Girls Club alum) Chip Kelly. A nail-biter: Patriots 17, Eagles 10

Anticipating a thriller

Janet Horvath, Manchester City Recreation: The Patriots will be losing 17-3 at halftime but love the thrill of a comeback.

Patriots 24, Eagles 20 Pete Tarrier, radio maven: The Eagles are a very big challenge, but even when it looks very bleak, Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and company always seem to turn things around to win! Patriots 31, Eagles 27 Tracey Adam, Manchester Boys & Girls Club Legend: I’m very nervous as this one will have us on the edge of our seats all game long. Scared in the beginning, but we’ll win at the end. Patriots 27, Eagles 24 Matt Johnson, Manchester Monarchs marketing honcho: The Patriots win their third title in four years again against the Eagles in true heart attack Super Bowl fashion as James White finally gets the MVP. Patriots 28, Eagles 24 Tommy Ameen, Queen City Basketball Tournament historian: Pats arrive in Minny with most SB appearances (10) and depart tied for most titles (6). Patriots 27, Eagles 20 Paul Hogan, AD/basketball coach at NHTI: Turnovers play a big role. Patriots 30, Eagles 22

Keeping company with Darth Vader, who has Philly too

Jeff Eisenberg, president of Eisenberg, Ryze and Vitale (and a die-hard Eagles fan): Foles has found his rhythm as a starter and using all his receivers. The running game is solid, both Eagle lines are much better and they match up well in every other facet. But most of all, even the Pats can’t beat a team of destiny. Eagles 31, Patriots 20 Glen Kerkian, Cleveland Indians fan on the UNH Law School staff: The young and deep Eagles defensive line will pressure Brady and won’t wear down in the fourth quarter like the effective Jags D-line did.

Nick Foles’ short, high percentage passing game could control the ball and time of possession to limit Patriot scoring opportunities.

A field goal will be the margin of difference and Jake Elliott has been unconscious in distance, accuracy and clutch situations. Eagles 27, Patriots 24

Apply now for FALL 2018

Bold & snarky

Bill Weidacher, Bedford real estate tycoon: Nick Foles will turn into Mr. Poopy Pants on the biggest football stage of all. If you like this one, next time you see me in the produce section ask me what he once asked 1978 Red Sox fav Mike Torrez. Patriots 31, Eagles 10

ARTS Three for one

Saint Anselm students produce one-act plays

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Each year the Anselmian Abbey Players at Saint Anselm College in Manchester present the One Act Play Festival, a longstanding tradition in which three students are selected to direct their own one-act plays. The event returns on Thursday, Feb. 1, to the school’s Dana Center.

“Since we don’t have a theater department, [the festival] affords students a special opportunity on this campus to carry out leadership responsibilities in theater for a major artistic event,” Abbey Players Director Landis Magnuson said.

Two of the three student directors also wrote their plays. Senior Jake Miller wrote and is directing Maria’s Mind, a comedy which follows the day-to-day thoughts of a high school junior named Maria Summers.

Senior Brendan Mahoney is the writer and director of A Priest of the People, a dark comedy that explores public memOne Act Play Festival When: Thursday, Feb. 1, through Saturday, Feb. 3, 7:30 p.m.

ory and crises of faith through the eyes of a newly ordained priest who discovers an ugly truth about his predecessor and parish.

While the college does offer some theater courses, playwriting is not one of them; the students who wrote plays wrote them of their own volition, Magnuson said, and not just for a class.

“This has become a significant outlet for student playwriting,” he said. “Those students then also have the unique opportunity to direct their own writing and follow through with their original vision for it.”

The third student director, senior Ally MacDonald, chose and bought the rights to 4 a.m. featured in the One Act Play Festival.

create something and see what you create physically come to life.”

4 a.m. runs about 30 minutes and has a cast of six people. It’s only been performed in New Hampshire once before.

MacDonald watched some YouTube videos of performances of the play by other theater companies for inspiration, but much of its appeal, and the appeal of many oneact plays, she said, is the simplicity, which leaves the interpretation up to the director.

“It’s very minimalistic, and there isn’t a lot about it that’s set in stone, so a lot of it is my decision,” she said. “I can do a lot with it and put my personal vision into it.”

The shorter nature of one-act plays can also make them a challenge to direct, however, because there is less time to introduce the characters, tell the story and convey the play’s message.

“You want to give it the same weight that you get from a full-length play, but you only have half an hour to do it, and it’s hard to say what you want to say in that short amount of time,” MacDonald said, “so a lot of it is about getting the timing right.”

Magnuson said the festival is a special chance for audiences to see three plays in one night, all with different styles.

“Maria’s Mind is the outright comedic piece, 4 a.m. works its way between the comedic and the somber, and A Priest of the People is a really serious look at its subject matter,” he said, “so we definitely have a great balance of plays.”

farms, farm equipment suppliers and vendors offering New Hampshire-made products.

“For people in the industry, the benefit of the trade show is to network and get in touch with others with similar interests and see what’s new as far as equipment and technology,” McWilliam Jellie said. “For the general public, it’s a chance to see what the people in this industry are involved with and how they can be a part of it if they’re interested.”

Educational sessions and workshops will cover topics for gardeners, including an introduction to permaculture, garden pollinators, food preservation and safety, edible gardens and landscapes, planning a school garden program and building a successful market garden; topics for farmers, such as seed starting and propagation, starting a hydroponic growing

introductory program for students who have little or no coding experience. Both computer based and program design elements are introduced. Saturdays, now through Feb. 17, from 10 a.m. to noon SEE Science Center, 200 Bedford St., Manchester. $90 per child or

system, farm accounting and taxes, farm enterprise analysis, grazing basics and dairy goat farming; and forestry topics, such as developing a forest management plan, chainsaw operation and maintenance and an introduction to invasive plants for small woodlot owners.

Other sessions will cover a variety of topics, such as preserving old barns, processing wool, using goats for service and therapy and starting a women’s agricultural network in New Hampshire.

“There are workshops for all different levels,” McWilliam Jellie said, “from people with experience who are looking for more experience, to people who are doing things at home and are looking for an opportunity to grow, to people who are just getting started and exploring their options.”

Additionally, there will be demonstrations for rug braiding and

spinning, a demonstration with live falcons and a 4-H petting area with live animals.

Visitors of all ages are invited to play Farmo, a bingo-like game in which participants are given a list of questions to have answered by participating exhibitors in the trade show. Those who complete the game will get a prize.

The younger crowd can enjoy all kinds of fun activities in the Kid Zone, including crafts like Valentine’s bird feeders, hemp keyrings, strawberry DNA necklaces and gardening projects; games like Clucking Cups and a goat cart pull; and educational programs with Wildlife Encounters and 4-H. “The activities aren’t just for kids from farm families. They’re for all kids,” McWilliam Jellie said. “It’s a very family-focused event and a good opportunity for families to learn together.”

By Henry Homeyer

listings@hippopress.com

Despite their lack of leaves in winter, it really is not too difficult to identify most trees now. You just have to look at other characteristics such as branching patterns, bark, overall shape, seeds or fruit, where they grow, and what their buds look like. I recently attended a workshop on tree I.D. in winter run by forester Ethan Belair of UNH Cooperative Extension.

For mature trees, I tend to use the overall shape and branching patterns to identify trees in winter. Sugar maple? White pine? Hemlock? I can generally identify those from a distance while in a moving car just by their shape. But for young trees it is harder, particularly for trees that are less common.

According to Ethan, bark is the best way to identify trees. Summer or winter, if you know the look of a tree’s bark, you can identify it. It takes practice, of course, and careful observation.

Some bark is very distinctive. Beech, for example, has a smooth gray bark that you can learn in moments. I love to run my hands over the bark, as if petting an elephant. Young beech, particularly, hold onto their leaves in winter, which is also a good clue.

Many beech trees now are marked by a fungus that produces cankers, blackening and open wounds. It will eventually kill infected trees, and ruins that gorgeous bark.

Most everyone can identify white or paper birch by its white, peeling bark that is easily removed from a tree by enthusiastic Boy or Girl Scouts anxious to start campfires. I learned from Ethan that removing the bark by hand will not hurt the tree, though you should never use a knife or ax.

Gray birch is similar to white birch, but it does not peel like its cousin, and has a dirtier look. Yellow birch peels like white birch but is a golden or silvery gray color.

But did you know that young white birch are not white at all? They have a deep reddish black color and are spotted with small white dots or short white lines, lenticels, that feel rough if you rub your hand over them. Eventually, after seven or eight years, white birch saplings will start to turn white.

Branching patterns help to identify trees at any time of the year. Most species of trees and shrubs have what is called alternate branching. That means that as your eye follows a branch, the twigs and leaves alternate from one side to the other. A limited number have opposite branching with twigs facing each other across a branch. Of course, just to confuse us, sometimes twigs or leaves have broken off on a tree like a maple that should have opposite branching.

White birch bark peels naturally.

There is a mnemonic for trees that have opposite branching: MAD Cap Horse. Translated, that means maple, ash, dogwood, member of the Caprfoliacea family (honeysuckle, viburnum and elderberry, among others) and horse chestnut. So if you see opposite branching, you can eliminate lots of possibilities.

Where a tree appears in the forest is a clue, too. Some trees need lots of light, while others do fine in shade — the understory. Of the understory plants, beech is one, basswood, yellow birch and hemlock are others.

Poplars, in contrast, show up in open fields after clear cutting or a fire. Their branches reach upward, as if trying to grab the sun.

They are short-lived trees that die out in 30 or 40 years — about the time they are shaded by canopy trees like maples, oaks or ash.

White ash is an easy tree to identify by bark: it has prominent ridges with deep furrows. It is dark brown or deep gray. Unfortunately this wonderful tree will probably disappear from our woodlands due to the emerald ash borer.

Ethan suggested cutting down white ash trees now, before they succumb to the blight.

Buds at the end of a branch are another distinctive characteristic. Red maple and sugar maple can be distinguished by their buds, for example. Sugar maple terminal buds are sharp and pointy, red maple buds are blunt and reddish in color, especially as we approach spring. Sugar maple buds are grayish or purplish-brown.

Last spring while hiking in the woods I spotted a tree with bright red buds that I couldn’t identify right away. It was a basswood or American linden, which is a native relative of a European shade/street tree called the little-leafed linden. I am at the northern limit of basswood, but in Goffstown where the workshop was held, it was common. So I got to see mature specimens. Their branches reach out and often bend down; they often they grow in clumps. Ethan said they are “locally common, regionally rare.”

So if you are bored being indoors this winter, get outdoors and learn your trees.

Dear Donna, Can you tell me anything about this wooden guy? He looks like he was meant to attach to something, but this is all I have. His clothes are old so maybe he came this way. I’m just hoping you can give me any information.

Dear Rita, Your man looks like a Schoenhut, but I’m not positive. It’s really tough to tell because they made so many different ones.

The Schoenhut Co. began manufacturing toys in 1872, producing a large line of products. They made lots of full-size dolls that are marked but lots of the other items had paper labels so it makes them hard to identify if they have fallen off over time.

All the character type dolls and animals have just the same kind of jointed arms and legs that yours seem to have; the ends of the hands are similar. The only thing that seems off to me is the shoes (or feet) seem to be much more pointed than a typical Schoenhut.

He almost looks like he could have been a cowboy. I couldn’t find one but again with so many made it’s easy to miss. So if we look at him as a wooden jointed doll in original clothes dating to around the early 1900s, we can give him a value in the range of $80. Even if he was a Schoenhut I believe it would be the same for the condition he looks to be in.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

It’s a good time to be a senior driver Dear Car Talk: You recently answered a question from another 83-year-old woman who asked about upgrading her car for a newer Subaru with more safety features. I just want

By Ray Magliozzi to second your advice. I took your suggestion and bought a new car with such features, and I love it! I feel much safer now. Thanks. — Barbara Aw, c’mon Barbara. I know you just wanted that 28-speaker stereo!

This is actually a pretty good time to be a senior without a car. You no longer have to be isolated or stranded. Now you can summon a Lyft, instantly, on your iPhone, and get picked up and dropped off anywhere you want. And in a decade or so, cars probably will be capable of driving themselves, so we won’t even need luxuries like vision, hearing and reflexes.

But for those who still count on their cars and like to be able to drive themselves around, there are (early self-driving) technologies that are worth upgrading to now. We particularly recommend cars with city- and highway-speed automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and lane-keeping

assist. Those can be lifesavers. And then there are the mere fender savers, like rear crosstraffic alert and audible parking sensors.

And while these technologies are great for everybody, they’re particularly helpful for older drivers, whose reflexes may have slowed down a bit. Automatic emergency braking, in particular, is awesome. If you don’t notice that a car in front of you has slowed or stopped, you’ll get an audible warning. If you don’t react and hit the brakes yourself, the car will then hit the brakes for you in order to prevent or lessen the severity of an accident. It’s pretty amazing.

What usually happens with older drivers is that at some point, there’s an “incident.”

You don’t notice a stopped car, or you lose all common sense and try to brave a Trader Joe’s parking lot on a Saturday morning, and bang — there’s an accident. At that point, the kids gang up and decide it’s time to confiscate your Mercedes S-Class, and you lose a big piece of your independence.

Well, these safety features can often delay that day of reckoning by helping you avoid certain accidents. Not every accident, but a lot of common ones.

So why not take advantage of them if you can? Everybody should, but especially those whose lives and routines could be perma-

nently disrupted by one unfortunate accident.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety maintains a pretty good list of cars that have the most up-to-date safety equipment.

You can find the 2018 picks at http://www. iihs.org/iihs/ratings/TSP-List. Look for cars with TSP-Plus ratings (Top Safety Pick Plus).

And if you actually go out to buy one of those cars, be sure to carefully check the equipment on the exact car you purchase, since many of these features are optional still.

So, some cars on the lot will have the good stuff, and some identical-looking cars won’t.

Triple-check — or better yet, bring a grandson who plays linebacker with you to deal with the salesman.

And Barbara, we hope these technologies get you safely through the next decade, when you can write back and I’ll recommend a self-driving car for you.

Dear Car Talk: What was the Chevy equivalent of the 2002 Buick Century? A dashboard part has broken on my Buick, and if I need to go on a junkyard search, it would help to broaden the range of possible donor cars. — Emma It depends on exactly which dashboard part you need, Emma. In addition to your Buick Century, GM made a number of cars

on what they called the “W-Body chassis,” including the Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Intrigue, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Chevy Impala and Monte Carlo. But not all of them used all of the same parts.

The good news is that any decent junkyard will have a computerized database that will tell you exactly which other cars have a part that will work on your car.

Here’s how it works. Let’s say you have an ‘08 Toyota Camry with a set of fuzzy dice that have lost their fuzz. Your local automotive recycler (aka junk man) would type in the part number, and the database would tell him that, for instance, the fuzzy dice in any Camry from 2006-2011 would fit your car -- as would the dice from the same year Toyota Avalons.

And he can do that same kind of search for whatever dashboard part you need for your 2002 Buick Century. Then, of course, he can look up whether he has any of those cars, with those parts, on his lot. Or, if he’s tied into a larger database, he may even be able to locate a part for you at another yard anywhere in the country and have it sent to you.

Just don’t leave your old Buick unattended for too long when you visit the junkyard.

Some other hungry customer might assume it’s inventory and start plucking off parts.

FOOD Fired up

Ancient Fire Mead & Cider to open in Manchester

By Matt Ingersoll

News from the local food scene

mingersoll@hippopress.com

By Matt Ingersoll

In 2003, a cancer diagnosis and recovery period left Londonderry native and then-software engineer Jason Phelps with an opportunity to pursue a dream. Fast forward 15 years, and Phelps is cancer-free — and a full-time homebrewer. He has taught classes, won awards and is getting ready to introduce his meads and ciders to the Granite State market for the first time.

Ancient Fire Mead & Cider, a new craft meadery and cidery coming to Manchester, was recently given the green light by the state to start making product. Phelps said they have set their sights on opening their doors in the coming weeks.

In addition to pouring many of his own signature creations, Phelps and his wife Margot will be serving a small menu of foods, hosting onsite tours and distributing product to other retail stores, restaurants and bars across southern New Hampshire.

“I had been into microbrew beers since the mid-’90s, so I was curious and wanted to see what I could make at home,” he said. “After I made my first beers and they came out pretty good, I started experimenting with cider and mead, using apples and honey I would just pick up at stores and farmers markets. I even started sharing it with my friends and I remember somebody said to me, ‘Oh cool, you made mead,’ and I said, ‘I made what?’

I didn’t even know what it was at the time.”

The experience opened up a whole new world for Phelps, who over the next decade began forming relationships with other people in the local home brewing community.

He began writing blogs, attending conference and joining clubs, and people started asking him if he would ever go commercial with his meads and ciders.

Ancient Fire will have a 20-seat capacity that will include bar seating, four high-top tables and two low-top tables.

“We will have three product lines,” Phelps said. “One would be the draft meads, which are typically going to be around 7 percent alcohol and will have some level of car-

Joel Soucy, The Birch on Elm’s co-owner and general manager, said among the menu items that will be featured on the episode are the lamb and feta poutine, fried house pickles, fried octopus nuggets, blue corn crusted cod tacos, hanger steak and caramel cheesecake. “I’m very excited,” Soucy said of the taping. “It’s really nice to have some validation … that our restaurant is as good as we hoped it would be, and the exposure is going to be great.” The episode will air on the show in about six to eight weeks, according to Soucy.

bonation to them. … The second one will be what we call our dessert meads. Those won’t be carbonated, and will be sweeter and contain substantially more alcohol, maybe around 13 to 15 percent ... and then the third product line is going to be cider. … We’re a little bit out of cider season, [so] cider is going to come into the mix later than the meads, based on what product we can actually get.”

Phelps said a few of the ideas in progress for the draft meads will include a dry hopped passion fruit flavor, a Concord grape flavor — like an “adult grape soda,” he said — and a mead flavored with pineapple and chili peppers.

A traditional semi-sweet mead with fermented honey and watered yeast is also going to be part of the starting draft lineup.

“We’re hoping this will be one that will help people who are not really familiar with mead and aren’t really sure whether they like fermented honey ... to really understand and get them truly in touch with that particular ingredient,” Phelps said.

He said the taproom menu is also going to include a few light food options, like a house-made cheese dip with crackers, a cheese and meat plate, a chicken and ranch wrap with mixed greens, cups of soup and chili, bagged snacks like chips and pretzels, and bottled sodas and waters. Ancient Fire is going to be open three nights a week and is planning to host tours in its production area on Saturdays.

“Our vision with that is that it’s going to be a guided tour,” Phelps said. “We want to go through some history of mead and cider ... and a little bit about us and the ingredients. We anticipate having a couple of different honeys that people can taste on the tour as well. ... We’re also going to show you and point out to you what everything is and what it does, to hopefully give people a basic understanding. The tour is going to finish with a flight in the tasting room.”

Phelps chose the name Ancient JASON PHELPS Fire out of his love for historical and nature documentaries and for a name that is reflective of the importance of the sun in producing each of the necessary ingredients to make his drinks.

“My mother ... had this documentary called The Seasons, and they make it quite clear that our early ancestors understood the cycle of the sun having to do with these really interesting changes depending on where in the world you are,” he said. “At one point, the narrator talks about a metaphor for a carnival ride ... and says, ‘We, like they, circle the ancient fire,’ meaning the sun. So I started associating ‘ancient fire’ with what I was doing and everything I was making.”

Once Ancient Fire opens, Phelps said, you can expect to find its products at other local retailers like Bert’s Better Beers in Hooksett and Craft Beer Cellar in Nashua on days when the taproom won’t be open.

... I remember somebody said to me, ‘Oh cool, you made mead,’ and I said, ‘I made what?’

New Mexican options Don Ramon on the way in Merrimack

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

A new family-owned Mexican restaurant set to open in Merrimack later this month is bringing to town some harder-to-find authentic dishes and cocktails.

Don Ramon Restaurante Mexicano has taken over the spot of the former Wendy’s on Whitney Street in Merrimack and will be opening seven days a week for lunch and dinner with take-out services and a full bar also available. The same owners currently operate three Mi Jalisco Mexican restaurants in Milford, Peterborough and Keene.

According to co-owner Karla Gutierrez, they decided to change the name to create a new brand that will introduce menu items not previously seen in the other restaurants.

The weekend menu, for example, is going to feature options that originate from the southwestern Mexican state of Jalisco that will be made fresh to order, like pozole and menudo.

“Pozole and menudo are both soups,” she said. “We’re going to be making a red pozole in a chili base with pork and hominy. It’s not spicy unless you ask for hot sauce on the side … and it has cabbage or lettuce on top, with onions and lime.”

Menudo is also served in a red chili-based broth with beef tripe, cilantro and onions.

Another new dish will be ceviche, which is cooked shrimp mixed with chopped onions, cilantro, tomatoes and cucumbers. Gutierrez said that one will be made fresh to order.

“If you ever do any non-resort type of traveling in Mexico, you will run into all of these dishes,” she said. “The ceviche is very typical especially on the coastal side of Mexico, but I don’t think a lot of people here serve it the way we are. … We’ll be marinating it in lime and salt … and it will be served with either saltine crackers or tostadas.”

Gutierrez said the new restaurant, which is named after co-owner Ramon Quezada, will feature a menu of appetizers and soups similar to what is available at the Mi Jalisco restaurants. There are cheese nachos with chicken or beef, several flavors of quesadillas, including a mango quesadilla cooked with chicken and served with lettuce, sour cream and pico de gallo, choriqueso (Mexican sausage with pico de gallo and cheese), plus chilis and salads. Soup flavors will include chicken, chipotle and tortilla.

For entrees, you’ll be able to order grilled tacos with your choice of either chicken, steak, shrimp, fish, chorizos or carnitas, all of which are served with rice, beans and pico de gallo. There will be several fajita, vegetarian and specialty dinner options as well. The Enchilada Supreme, for example, will feature a combination of one chicken enchilada,

Tortilla soup. Courtesy photo.

one cheese enchilada and one beef enchilada, all topped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream, and served with rice. The molcajete dinner is grilled rib-eye, chicken breast, shrimp and chorizo, onions and cheese.

Seafood entrees include the seafood chipotle (a combination of crab, tilapia and shrimp, cooked with onions and chipotle sauce and served with rice and guacamole salad), a grilled salmon dish with yellow and red peppers, fish fajitas, quesadillas and more.

A full bar of at least 10 lines of beer is expected to be available, Gutierrez said.

There will be a combination of offerings from local breweries as well as popular imported Mexican beers like Pacifico, Modelo Especial and Dos Equis. Specialty cocktails will include the Cantarito, which will be served in an actual Mexican-made clay container.

“We make it with tequila, fresh lime, fresh orange, a pinch of salt, and Squirt, which is a lemon-lime soda,” Gutierrez said, “and then we throw in some chopped up pineapple.”

Don Ramon Restaurante Mexicano will be different from Mi Jalisco restaurants in that there will be a pick-up drive-through window for orders made in advance.

“Because [the property] was a Wendy’s, we actually left one of the drive-through windows,” she said.

Gutierrez said updates on the status of its opening will be made on the Mi Jalisco’s Milford restaurant Facebook page.

David Valicenti is the owner and chef of Valicenti Pasta Farm (11 Monument Square, Hollis, 459-3627, gimmespaghetti.com), which makes its own pastas and pasta sauces from scratch.

Products are available on site and can also be found at stores and markets across New England, including the Concord Food Co-Op, Normanton Farms in Litchfield and The Good Loaf in Milford. Valicenti Pasta Farm also appears at about 35 farmers markets in New Hampshire and Massachusetts during the summer and about a dozen during the winter, including the Winter Market at Cole Gardens in Concord and the two Seacoast Eat Local Winter Markets in Exeter and Rollinsford. Pasta sauces include a tomato basil, an “alla Norma” sauce with roasted eggplant and ricotta salata cheese and a “Golden Gravy” butternut squash, caramelized fennel and Parmigiano sauce. The farm also makes several flavors of ravioli, fettuccine, ziti, linguine and other types of pasta. Valicenti grew up in an Italian-American family in New Hampshire and started making pasta at a young age.

His career took him to restaurants in Boston and later New Orleans before he returned to the Granite State to open the farm in Hollis.

Definitely well-made gnocchi, which is part of the whole reason I started cooking in the first place. But I also like any kind of simple pasta with fresh ingredients that you can make quick.

1 package duck confit with shiitake and ginger ravioli 12 ounces mixed wild mushrooms, cleaned and roughly chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons minced shallot 1 1/2 tablespoons pickled ginger 2 to 3 small heads baby bok choy 1 1/2 tablespoons tamari or light soy sauce 1 cup mirin wine Miso paste to make 1 1/2 quarts miso broth 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup green onions 1/2 cup torn cilantro leaves Olive oil for sauteeing Salt and pepper to taste

In a deep saute pan or wide surface area sauce pot over medium high heat, add a couple of teaspoons of olive oil and then mushrooms, sauteing briefly. Add the garlic and the shallots and saute for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Push the mushrooms to the edges of the pan, making a clearing in the center.

Add the bok choy and let it saute for 2 minutes without stirring. Add the mirin and the pickled ginger. Once the mirin begins to boil, add the miso and the tamari and return to a boil before lowering the heat to medium low.

Allow broth to simmer for a couple of minutes without reducing until the bok choy is tender.

Once broth has simmered, remove from heat and stir in the butter, green onions and half of the cilantro. Season to taste and set the broth aside. Boil ravioli per instructions, strain and divide between 2 to 4 bowls depending on the desired serving size. Ladle finished broth over the ravioli. Sprinkle remaining cilantro leaves over finished bowls and serve immediately.

Soup with ginger I recently gave birth to my third daughter (hooray!) and things have been a bit hectic. During times like these, I’m always blessed with amazing friends who bring my family food. It gives me the chance to relax at dinnertime as well as try new recipes. One of my friends brought over my new favorite soup and I can’t wait to share it with you! The ingredient that takes this soup to the next level is fresh ginger.

Fresh ginger is easy to find at your local supermarket. What we eat is the lower part of the stem called the rhizome. It grows beneath the surface; therefore food of ours is often called ginger root rather than just ginger. Ginger has long been considered to have medicinal properties.

Pregnant women drink ginger tea to ward off nausea, people with digestive issues eat it for support and it is even thought to Sweet Potato, Apple, Carrot & Lentil Soup 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (use butternut squash for a lower-calorie but sweeter option — I normally do a mix of the two) 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks 1 onion, chopped 1 apple, peeled and chopped 1 tablespoon coconut oil 4 cups vegetable broth ½ teaspoon chili powder ½ teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon salt

Enjoy chef’s selection of complimentary treats and nibbles with the purchase of any beverage help ward off the common cold. It’s a perfect fresh ingredient for this time of year.

Ginger is a perfect add-on item (or add-in item, I suppose). It contains little to no calories (maybe 2 per serving?) but packs a good flavor. I have to admit, it’s grown on me a lot over the years. I used to stare at it with my sushi thinking, “who actually adds this to their rolls?” Particularly for this time of year, it can add extra warmth and a bit of zing to a dish. Consider it in your smoothie and don’t skip it in your soup! Check out my recipe for my new favorite soup of all time.

— Allison Willson Dudas ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger ¾ cup lentils Heat oil in a large pot over high heat.

Throw in potatoes, apple, onions and carrots. Sauté for about 10 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add in broth, spices and ginger and bring pot to boil. Lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes, until vegetables are soft. Using an immersion blender, puree to desired thickness (can also be done by transferring into a tabletop blender). Enjoy hot!

Drinking wine in moderation (one to two four-ounce glasses a day as defined by the American Heart Association) has its health benefits. February is American Heart Month, so in honor of that, I’m going to share some of the ways wine can help you live longer. It can certainly make you happier, too, whether you’re relaxing with a glass or attending a fun event like one of the ones coming up this month.

I read an article at wideopeneats.com that talked about some of the basic health benefits of wine. For example, wine contains antioxidants, and they are present in both red and white wines, even though we typically think of red as having more health benefits, mainly found in the skins. Antioxidants can help us battle many health problems, including cancer.

My argument for red wine over white is the sugar content, depending on the grape. Especially this time of year, I like to reach for a medium- to fuller-bodied wine because I find it more satisfying. Plus, in watching the amount of sugar I am consuming, I know a drier red wine, like a cabernet or chianti, has a pretty low sugar content compared to a moscato or riesling. If you are watching your sugar intake, keep the type of wine in mind, as some sweet red blends will rival other sweet white wines.

While drinking too much can bring on the wine flu, according to the article, wine in moderation can help boost the immune system. This time of year, when germs abound and sicknesses run rampant, we can all use a little help in boosting our immune systems, so pour a glass and give yourself a little help.

Phenols and resveratrol in wine have many health benefits, including lowering the risk of blood clots, which is particularly important in women. This also lowers the risk of having a certain type of stroke. According to Wide Open Eats, a study done by John Hopkins University Medical Center found that the phenols in red wine act like a blood thinner, similar to aspirin. Resveratrol is found in grape skins, so it has a higher concentration in red wine since the grapes stay in contact with the skins longer before they are made into wine.

Citing webmd.com, the Wide Open Eats article said that wine can help prevent cardiovascular disease and help lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Again, while moderation is key, the tannins in wine contain phenols, which can enhance blood vessel cell health. The procyanidins in

wine also help with heart health, but have also been shown to help lower cholesterol. Additionally, the resveratrol in wine increases HDL, or good cholesterol, and can help lower LDL, or bad cholesterol.

Lowering blood pressure means a reduced risk of stroke as well.

I know you probably don’t need any more reasons to drink wine, but resveratrol in wine has been shown to be good for longevity, too. This is because it has antiaging and disease fighting properties. So pour that glass, enjoy wine in moderation and know that you are also enjoying some health benefits as well.

Valentine’s Day festivities

Is there anything more romantic than a vineyard? Many New Hampshire wineries, including Flag Hill Distillery & Winery, Gilmanton Winery & Vineyard and Averill House Vineyard, are offering Valentine’s Day dinners and events. Some are scheduled on Valentine’s Day or the weekends prior to and following the holiday. Check their Facebook pages or websites for more information.

National Drink Wine Weekend

While Feb. 18 is National Drink Wine Day, some New Hampshire wineries are turning it into a whole weekend of celebration, including Averill House Vineyard (Brookline), Fulchino Vineyard (Hollis), Moonlight Meadery (Londonderry), Appolo Vineyards (Derry), Copper Beech Winery (Hooksett), and Winnipesaukee Winery (Wolfeboro). A commemorative glass for $10 is your ticket to visiting the participating wineries from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. both days. You can also be entered to win some great prizes. More information can be accessed via the Averill House Vineyard Facebook page.

In the war between the sexes, the modern women’s movement does have certain characteristics that can sometimes seem as intolerant as the manosphere’s bro-world misogyny, but that’s just the nature of boiled-over fury.

The ladies are also developing a sound, or at least it’s been carpet-bombed upon them by this Los Angeles singer, who corralled/hired a few dozen women to sing her tune “Quiet” at the Women’s March on Washington on Jan. 21, 2017, after which it went viral. The song, a morosely mumbled ballad that a lot of people must have thought was Lorde, is on this seven-song EP, as is “Call of the Wild,” which borrows, well, just about everything from Imogen Heap’s “Hide and Seek,” up to and including the robo-effect-age on her voice. Then we have the pièce de résistance, a glassy eyed, stubbornly downtrodden version of “Ooh Child,” the 1970s-era Five Stairsteps hit that was best used in the 1991 movie Boyz n the Hood. If you want today’s women’s movement laid out in the form of a short record, this is it. B — Eric W. Saeger Deadheads, This One Goes To 11 (High Roller Records)

If Stiv Bators sounded like Glenn Danzig, a Dead Boys reunion in the 1980s would have sounded like this, which is amazing for a couple of reasons. One, these street-punk, borderline metal meatheads have successfully bottled the essence of the New York Dolls and whatnot and are having a go at making this sorely missed attitude relevant again (the genre is called “action rock,” not that there’ll be a quiz later, but — oh, I won’t even bother mentioning obscure band names, you wouldn’t Google them anyway) and two, well, they’re from Sweden. OK, I hear the sound of a thousand pages being flipped to the Sudoku, but wait a second, this is a very worthy band. The throwback longhair in your home will thrill to the vague aura of Scorpions in (the unfortunately titled) “Black Out,” while your little brother who can’t deal with anything louder than The Darkness will gain enlightenment from Johnny Thunders joints like “Don’t Mind the Ghost.” Mind you, my favorite Ramones album was Animal Boy, so I have no problem with punk that’s a bit overproduced, but man does the world need more of this.

• Feb. 2’s album release schedule kicks off with Hookworms’ new album, Microshift! This space-rock band is from Leeds, and their gimmick is that the five band members only identify themselves by their initials: JN, JW, MB, MJ and SS. At least two famous people think these guys are awesome, namely Charlotte Church and Julian Cope, which means that we should possibly take them seriously, not that I’m promising to. Hmph, I was going to say that that shtick where they only go by their initials makes me think of Clinic with the hidden identities under doctor masks, but now I regret that I didn’t say it earlier, because these guys actually sound like Clinic a little bit, wounded guitars and mild but crude aggression. I really dig Clinic and I like what I’m hearing on this band’s first album, so let’s go get disappointed by the new stuff. OK, here’s the single, “Negative Space,” and wait a second, this is awesome, with this chopped man-frog sample revolving around a Daft Punk-ish beat and then it becomes like Trail of Dead but interesting. I love these guys, and you should too.

• During the 1980s, Scottish synth-pop band Simple Minds defined an entire generation, when MTV veejays would say things like, “You’re watching Downtown Julie Brown, and we’ve got Simple Minds!” It was an accidental joke, or ironic accuracy, depending on your point of view. But whatever, this band, believe it or not, has a new album coming out, titled Walk Between Worlds, all so that bored Gen X grandmothers with poofy Winona Ryder hair can fidget with their Spotify and accidentally delete all the Facebook breakfast pics on their SmartGadgets. Pretty sure this band tried doing an album a year or so ago, but let’s visit YouTube and see if the new single is OK. OK, I checked it out, and the song is like a microwaved Calvin Harris TV dinner, like it sounds like something the kids might like, but there’s something wrong, like how if you were a duck looking at a wooden decoy, you’d think something was off. The video is awesome, if your favorite scene in Terminator 2 was when the liquid-metal guy melted and reassembled.

• DZ Deathrays is a White-Stripes-with-no-girl dance-punk thing from Australia, and their new LP Bloody Lovely is coming right at us. The single, “Total Meltdown,” has that Offspring-like aggression these guys want to give off, but there’s no real punk substance, just something you’d hear at the mall, and not even at Hot Topic. Pass.

• I don’t hate Justin Timberlake, believe it or not. Man of the Woods is his forthcoming new album, and it features the single “Filthy,” a grindy tune whose groove goes on way too long. It’s about robots. All the YouTube commenters are like, “This is stupid, why is he trying to be Steve Jobs?” I asked the same question, but in a nicer way. — Eric W. Saeger

Medieval mayhem

E.C. Ambrose completes The Dark Apostle series

Nashua author Elaine Isaak, better known by her pen name E.C. Ambrose, first started researching medieval surgery for a scene in one of her stories. The more she learned about it, the more fascinated with it she became, and after reading five or six books on the subject, she realized it had more potential than for just a single scene.

“I like my protagonists to be pushed to their limit, and [medieval surgery] is very high stakes,” she said. “Back then, they lacked the anesthetics and antiseptics and understanding of how the body works to confront the things they were dealing with and do what needed to be done to save people.”

In 2014, she released Elisha Barber, the first book in her historical fantasy series, The Dark Apostle. Set in a magical reimagining of 14th-century England, the series follows Elisha Barber, a barber-surgeon with a dark supernatural ability.

“He has a special relationship with death,” Ambrose said. “He stands on the border between life and death, and that intimate knowledge gives him power over that border land.”

Ambrose will debut the fifth and final book in the series, Elisha Daemon, at an event at Gibson’s Bookstore in Concord on Tuesday, Feb. 6. In the book, Elisha, who has gone from barber-surgeon to powerful sorcerer, struggles to save England from a deadly plague unleashed by an evil cult of sorcerers who draw their power from people’s fear.

With the exception of some tweaks to the British royalty timeline, the series is largely historically accurate.

“It definitely evokes the feeling of that period,” Ambrose said. “People [in the books] react to the idea of magic and believe in it in the way that they really did at that time, and there are many magical origins and things that were possibilities behind real world events.”

The series is not for the faint of heart, Ambrose said; the subject matter is dark, scenes often end with the characters in deeper peril than they were in before, and she has “a habit of killing off characters” unexpectedly, but the grim nature of the

series helps Ambrose propel the message she hopes to convey.

“Courage is not the absence of fear.

It’s moving on in spite of your fear. Everything worth doing is going to be hard,” she said. “That’s the deeper theme throughout the books and something that I personally believe in.”

While working on the series, Ambrose had some unique sources of inspiration. She would often listen to music that got her “in the mood” to write about the medieval time period.

For her last book, it was the British medieval a cappella group Mediaeval Baebes.

She would visit flea markets to add to her collection of tools that resemble medieval surgical tools, which she typically brings to her book events. At some events, she even dons medieval garb.

“I like this hands-on approach to learning about that culture. I like to interact with physical elements,” Ambrose said. “It helps enrich the fantasy world for my readers, and it helps me to invest fully in that world.”

Completing the series is “exciting, but bittersweet,” she said, and she still finds herself drawn to material related to medieval medicine before remembering that she no longer needs to research the topic for her books.

“I’ve been living with this character for years,” Ambrose said. “It’s hard to stop playing with the toys that you’ve been playing with for so long.”

She’s going in a very different direction with her current project, a young adult novel about giant robots exploring space.

“It’s a little strange creating headspace for these new characters,” she said, “but I think it’s good to have a project that’s so different to get me out of my comfort zone.”

POP CULTURE BOOKS

Who Can You Trust? by Rachel Botsman (PublicAffairs, 256 pages) Rachel Botsman brands herself a “world-renowned expert on trust,” which seems a bit grandiose and unnecessary. The world needs people who can build bridges, write code and grow coffee beans; do we really need people who make a living talking about trust?

That’s still up for debate, but with Who Can You Trust? the Oxford-educated Botsman establishes that she’s fit for the job. The book, her second, is a thoughtful examination of the importance of trust between human beings, and the ways in which technology has upended this vital currency, in good and bad ways.

Sounds mind-numbingly wonky, but it’s not, especially if you ever use Lyft or Airbnb.

The earliest humans judged each other by direct experience and familial connection in their tight-knit communities; this was the first form of societal trust, Botsman says. Later, this was subsumed by faith in institutions such as government, banks and churches. But as institutional trust has eroded in recent years, a new kind of trust has arisen. Botsman called this distributed trust, trust that is broadly cast among individuals, and more specifically (and sometimes alarmingly), strangers.

We see distributed trust at work in ride-sharing platforms, Airbnb and other foundational businesses of the sharing economy, as well as in other forms of e-commerce, such as UrbanSitter, a business that matches parents and babysitters as quickly as you can summon Uber to your door.

A generation ago, the idea of getting into a car with a stranger was unthinkable to most people, the remnants of brave hitchhikers notwithstanding. We are taught from early childhood about stranger danger; yet now, we’re not only climbing into cars with strangers, but by scheduling a home pick-up we’re letting them know where we live. In the old way of thinking, swapping a house with a stranger, or renting a room through Airbnb, is even scarier since we’re paralyzed by sleep for at least part of the exchange.

Enabling this level of trust on a broad scale took a sweeping paradigm shift, one that Botsman admits is “messy, unpredictable and at times dangerous.” In Who Can You Trust?, she invites us to think about what has changed in our behavior and thinking, and the ways in which distributed trust improves our lives.

But she also wants us to consider the ways in which this new form of trust can end badly.

Consider the murderous Uber driver in Michigan. Two years ago, a 45-year-old insurance worker, a father of two who’d been married for 20 years, shot eight people within the course of five hours, all the while continuing to pick up fares. Unbelievably, even as news that an Uber driver was shooting people

spread across Kalamazoo, people continued to get in his car. One passenger even asked, “You’re not that guy going around killing people, are you?” to which the killer, of course, replied, “No way.”

Why would people continue to use Uber even though they knew an Uber driver was killing people in their city in real time? It’s because they trusted the platform and trusted their previous experience with ride-sharing and that of others who used the service. Even now, as Uber has suffered other scandals, including charges of sexual harassment, millions of people use the app regularly, the author included.

Botsman, whose previous book What’s Mine is Yours delved into the sharing economy, picks the brains of many of the creators of trustaltering businesses, including the founders of Airbnb, and examines the mind-boggling success of Alibaba, the Amazon of China.

She also examines failures of distributed trust, most notably fake news shared through Facebook, as well as its success on the dark web, where criminals and ne’er-do-wells trade. Except for the occasional cases where a criminal website shuts down suddenly and vanishes forever with its users’ bitcoins, the dark net displays high levels of what Botsman says are the three components of trust: competence, reliability and honesty.

Most terrifying of the cautionary tales is a social program under development in China. There, the government in 2014 unveiled a “Social Credit System” by which every citizen will be rated not just on their driving records or financial dealings but on virtually every marker of behavior, including what they buy, how they spend their time and who they call friends. The system is currently optional, but millions of Chinese are already participating, well in advance of 2020, when it becomes mandatory. The government has enticed people to opt in by promising perks to those with the highest scores, such as getting permission to travel abroad.

A citizenry that takes no thought of constantly sharing the minutia of their lives online, or letting their banks and grocery stores track their every purchase, may pay no attention to the men behind this particular curtain. But, as Botsman notes, China’s “citizen score” enables high-scoring people to trust each other, but it also manipulates them in sinister ways. The system “not only investigates behavior — it shapes it,” she writes.

“It ‘nudges’ each of those closely monitored citizens away from purchases and behaviors the government does not like.”

If you just read one chapter of Who Can You Trust?, read the one about China, titled “Rated: Would Your Life Get a Good Trust Score?” But the entire book will make you think. And shudder, at times. A — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Hostiles (R)

The old West was a place of lovely cinematography but horrible, brutal everything else in Hostiles.

The movie opens with Rosalie Quaid (Rosamund Pike) teaching her daughters about adverbs while rocking her infant son and watching her husband chop wood. Aw, you might think and that thought is about the length of time you have to enjoy this warm homey scene before a group of what we later learn are Comanche horse thieves show up. Despite Rosalie’s very wise suggestion that her husband should join her and the kids running for hills, he decides to stay and get killed horribly. Sadly for the kids, their running away isn’t all that effective either.

Cut to a scene of another woman screaming, this time a Native American woman who is holding her daughter and watching as a group of American soldiers led by U.S. Army Capt. Joe Blocker (Christian Bale) are capturing what appears to be her husband. He drags the family back to the fort for imprisonment where he has a discussion with a longtime colleague, Master Sgt. Thomas Metz (Roy Cochrane), who basically explains how the decades of soldiering and killing have left him in a state of deep depression. This is not, as it is clear by this point, going to be a happy movie.

Blocker, nearing retirement, is ordered to escort longtime prisoner Cheyenne Chief Yellow Hawk (Wes Studi) and his family to his ancestral lands. The Chief is dying and his confinement has become, as the fort commander (Peter Mullan) explains, a cause célèbre back East. President Harrison

But, pension, the commander reminds him, so Blocker suits up and sets out with a bunch of men whose blue uniforms can’t hide their Red Shirt status.

As they hit the trail, Blocker is simmering with rage, chaining up Yellow Hawk as soon as they are out of sight of the fort.

But then they come across Rosalie, cradling her dead baby next to the charred bed where she has tucked in the bodies of her two daughters inside the remains of her torched house.

From the mind of writer-director Jordan Peele (who is nominated for both directing and original screenplay) comes this terrifying movie where the suburbs/exurbs are creepy and the monster is racism! When a man goes to the country for a weekend to meet his girlfriend’s parents, the fact that her white family doesn’t know he’s black is the very least of his troubles. This is an exceptionally well-constructed horror movie where the tension and menace come from one kind of racism until you realize that something stranger and different but just as dehumanizing is going on.

Charles Wills (Ben Foster), a soldier charged with murder heading to another town for either a trial and an execution or just the execution, there’s so much grumbly grizzled discussion in this movie I couldn’t always figure out what everyone was saying. Wills, a former soldier under Blocker’s command, doesn’t think “following orders” is a good enough reason for Blocker to escort Yellow Hawk’s family home while dragging Wills to his death.

Along the journey, Blocker, who can speak Yellow Hawk’s language, gains respect for the chief and his grown son Black Hawk (Adam Beach), who even fight beside Blocker and his men when they encounter trouble.

A beautiful slow-burn romance unfolds in the beautiful Italian countryside in this movie that also picked up nominations for original song (for “Mystery of Love”

What occurred to me later is how Elio and Oliver, the central couple, have their own manner of speaking to each other, as though their relationship has its own language (which

Hawk and Elk Woman’s young son. She also clings to Blocker, whose experience with brutal loss on the battlefield seems to make him the most sympathetic to her plight.

A movie this super depressing but cinematically well-shot would seem to be a natural for award season and yet I didn’t hear much about it until last week. And this is sort of understandable — this movie is not without its flaws. Despite solid performances by Bale, Pike and Studi, there is something about this movie that never quite pulls together, never quite comes completely to life. The road trip structure loses some energy along the way, as if the weight of all the horribleness makes both the audience and the movie want to just sit in a stupor with a shot of whiskey instead of push forward.

The movie ends with a wrap-up that feels too simple, with the neatness of the tying up of story points betraying the complexity of the movie before it.

So how to classify this? “Check out this total bummer of a movie with some strong performances and beautiful cinematography but some dodgy story points, that is pretty good but not great and will make you depressed about American history”? Do you think that blurb will make it to the DVD box? B Rated R for strong violence (like, seriously strong realistic horrible violence) and language. Directed by Scott Cooper and written for the screen by Scott Cooper, Hostiles is two hours and 14 minutes long and distributed by Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures.

Harsh Armadillo brings the funk to Newmarket

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

Elements of the college basement gatherings that launched them are evident each time Harsh Armadillo performs. Five Oyster River High School pals fell in with a creative community at UNH. Bored with what passed for extracurricular activity, they started to meet for impromptu jam sessions.

Among those in attendance was Andrea Belaidi, a natural performer raised on musical theater, but new to singing rock and soul.

After a few invites, she was hooked.

“People would bring over their bass, guitars and horns — we had a kid playing electric violin at one point,” she recalled recently. “I dug it so much that one time I stuffed the microphone down my jacket and walked through a snowstorm. From then on, it kind of stuck; they kept inviting me, and I kept doing it.”

Like a lot of bands, their name chose them. Early on, there was a series of random monikers, each picked for silliness.

“We’d change it all the time, to be as ridiculous as we could; D*** Pickle and the Pickle Purses, Sir Dub Hussein and the Swirling Turbans,” Belaidi said. “At one house party, we called ourselves Harsh Armadillo. ... We joke that the name is so stupid, we can’t even make fun of it. The people have spoken.”

When they started hitting Seacoast clubs, their spirited beginning would guide them when stepping on the stage.

“We just wanted to have a good time and we wanted everyone who came to have a Harsh Armadillo with Planet Radio

good time,” Belaidi said on the eve of the eight-piece band’s second album, Blame Bad Habits, released in September.

Two years in the making, Blame Bad Habits is a distillation of a sound inspired by classic funk bands like Earth, Wind & Fire and Kool & the Gang, injected with neo-soul and the occasional metal flourish.

“It’s what people have heard when they come to see us live, but what they haven’t experienced on a record,” Belaidi said. “You can’t go for a run and listen to it, you have to come to the show. We’re all excited for people to hear what they haven’t heard before.”

The title is a morning after reference.

“We all kind of get that fever — overly social and in your face — and when you wake up Sunday morning you’re like well, blame bad habits,” said Belaidi, who is Harsh Armadillo’s main lyricist. “Obviously, music’s not a bad habit, but the partying that comes with it … what the album boils down to is, whatever sparks your fuse, whatever drives you and gives you happiness — follow that.”

Regional audiences have followed enthusiastically. The group regularly sells out Seacoast clubs, and has built a following from Burlington to Boston. In April 2017, they earned Best in New Hampshire honors

at the New England Music Awards. The new album should continue the trend.

Standout tracks include “Golden Booty,” a close cousin of Parliament’s “Give Up the Funk” shot through with guitarist Camden Riley’s shredding licks and Dimitry Harris’s soulful synth work. The slow burning “In the Season” features solid rhymes from bassist Thomas Forbes, who also shares vocal duties on the title cut.

The seven-minute-long “Lucidity” showcases the cohesiveness of Blame Bad Habits, with Riley and Belaidi sharing lead vocals and harmonizing to perfection, dreamy keys and great horns (Max Harris on sax, with a smoldering trumpet solo from Nick Murray), twin lead guitars (second axe Aiden Earley shines) and an in the pocket groove from Forbes and drummer Dan Tauriello.

The record’s chemistry, said Belaidi, “had a lot to do with us getting comfortable with each other musically and even on a friends sort of level. A lot of it was something we were exploring but it felt like there were boundaries, you know? So it’s been us all coming together — different songs were written by different people, most of them starting with our keyboard player, he serves up the madness. But most of us were able to curate a sound that is recognizable.”

Ikea has taken advertising in a whole new direction with its recent print ad for a crib. The ad, which appears in the Swedish magazine Amelia, invites women who think they might be pregnant to urinate on the paper to reveal a discounted price. “Peeing on this ad may change your life,” the ad reads at the top of the page. “If you are expecting, you will get a surprise right here in the ad.” Adweek reported that the agency behind the gimmick adapted pregnancy test technology to work on a magazine page.

Bright idea

Chris McCabe, 70, of Totnes, England, escaped a frigid death thanks to his own quick thinking on Dec. 15. McCabe owns a butcher shop, and he had entered the walk-in freezer behind the shop when the door slammed behind him. Ordinarily that wouldn’t be a problem, as a release button inside the freezer can open the door. But the button was frozen solid. So McCabe looked around the freezer and saw the shop’s last “black pudding,” or blood sausage, which he used as a battering ram to unstick the button. “They are a big long stick that you can just about get your hand around,” McCabe told the Mirror. “I used it like the police use battering rams to break door locks in. Black pudding saved my life, without a doubt.”

He believes he would have died within a half-hour in the -4-degree freezer.

“In a room made out of ice and snow there are few clues to look at,” Desbois said, although each room has candles, and the hotel is considering the possibility that one of them caused the fire.

Creme de la weird

An unnamed 41-year-old Chinese woman who had been suffering from fevers and breathing problems for six years finally went for a checkup in early January at a hospital in Tongchuan, Shaanxi Province, China. Doctors X-rayed and found an inch-long chili pepper in her right lung. Metro News reported that Dr. Luo Lifeng tried to remove the pepper using a probe but was forced to operate because it was lodged too deep to reach.

He speculated that she had inhaled the pepper and then forgotten about it.

Oops

An unnamed man tried an unconventional method to kill a wolf spider in his Redding, California, apartment on Jan. 7: He set it afire with a torch lighter. Unfortunately, the burning spider ran onto a mattress and caught it on fire. Residents were able to put out the mattress fire, but not before flames reached nearby drapes and a flag collection, then a nearby closet, reported the Redding Record Searchlight. When a garden hose failed to douse the blaze, firefighters were called and prevented it from spreading to Ironies other apartments.

Cuaron, who has lived next to Our Lady of Guadalupe for years. “The bells ring multiple times a day during the week, and play ‘Amazing Grace’ during the week, and then they run multiple times again during the weekend,” she told KOB-TV in January.

“Because of the volume and frequency of the bells, this is not calling people to the church.” Hall-Cuaron called the church to complain, but said since her request, “they have added ‘Amazing Grace’ every day ... a full verse.” The pastor responded that he has lowered the volume but will not turn off the bells completely, as some in the neighborhood love them.

• One of Quebec City’s iconic tourist attractions is its ice hotel, the 45-room Hotel de Glace. But on Jan. 9, the hotel’s most dreaded disaster, a fire, broke out in one of the guest rooms, the CBC reported. Manager Jacques Desbois admitted that “when I received the phone call, they had to repeat twice that there was a fire in the ice hotel.” Predictably, the flames did not spread and caused little damage to the structure, although smoke spread throughout the hotel and residents were evacuated.
