While I was talking about education redesign at dinner with a friend, he made a statement that knocked me off my chair.

He said that, beyond little kids, school should be optional. Students would only attend if they wanted to. Then, he pondered about what educators would be forced to do to change the system if significant numbers of students decided not to attend.

His vision, while sounding outlandish, is not that crazy. Just as a massive ship can’t change direction quickly, our public school system has the same kind of inertia and getting it to change direction is not easy.

But, luckily for New Hampshire’s students, our state’s education leaders are pushing the system to be more responsive to the needs of each student. While optional school is unlikely to occur anytime soon, I love the thought because it would force the system into doing things that the system seems reluctant to do, especially handing over ownership of learning to the students themselves.

This was the vision of New Hampshire’s State Board of Education when it made the most significant changes to state education regulations (minimum standards for public school approval) of any state in the country in 2005. The State Board said that learning should be able to happen anytime, anyplace, anyhow, and at any pace, for school credit toward graduation. While it’s clear that, in a number of school districts in the state, real progress is being made, 13 years later, still, too many schools are reluctant to truly change.

Imagine a student saying, “I want Mrs. Jones for English, but I want to use my karate lessons for my physical education, play in a rock band for my music, learn automotives at the car dealership, space science at the planetarium, world history at the history museum…” This is what school choice should look like in the not too distant future. If every student could customize his or her own learning to meet learning requirements, i.e., do it their way, schools would be forced into creating a different system to ensure that they were doing their part in meeting the needs of each student.

Every one of us knows a student who hates school and thinks it’s boring. I was one of those students. But if I had had the opportunity to create my own plan, I would have loved learning. I simply want every student to wake up every morning excited about what they will learn that day. This was the vision of the New Hampshire State Board of Education in 2005. How long will it take before this will become a reality?

NEWS & NOTES H-2B visas

Gov. Chris Sununu sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Department of Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta expressing concerns about the limited number of temporary migrant worker visas that have been made available. According to the letter, Sununu said the lack of available H-2B visas means local businesses in the seasonal tourism and hospitality industries will be unable to hire the staff they need and the state’s economy will subsequently suffer. “With unemployment currently at 2.6%, New Hampshire has a tight labor market, and it is critical for small and seasonal businesses to have access to H-2B visas in order to meet their workforce needs,” Sununu said in the letter. Because some businesses haven’t been able to get the workers they need from the migrant worker program, Sununu said, they have had to turn down some contracts and agreements that have left hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue on the table. The authority to approve H-2B visas lies with the Department of Homeland Security in consultation with the Department of Labor.

VW settlement

New Hampshire is expected to benefit from $30 million of the Volkswagen settlement over its emissions fraud lawsuit, according to a press release. The state’s Office of Strategic Initiatives and Department of Environmental Services drafted a mitigation plan that will use the money to replace some of the state’s dirtiest and oldest vehicles. The money will be invested in electric vehicle charging infrastructure and to modernize state fleets, decrease diesel emissions and lower the tax burden for taxpayers.

New corrections officers

The state Department of Corrections announced that 11 corrections officer trainees graduated their mandatory nine-week training course at the Corrections Academy in Concord. According to a press release, a graduation ceremony was held on April 13. The state has been struggling to hire new corrections staff and has been engaged in a marketing campaign to attract new applicants. This round of graduates includes people who were formerly in the military, as well as an x-ray technician, car salesman, nurse and nuclear plant operator.

According to the Concord Monitor, the legislature failed to set aside enough money in anticipation of the court decision. Instead, it set aside $166 million based on a formula established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, despite warnings from the hospitals that the formula would be challenged in court. Officials are now scrambling to find a way to close the budget hole, according to the story.

Bats still struggling

How local populations have suffered and how to help

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

A recent survey of bat hibernacula — the abandoned mines and caves where they sleep through the winter — found that bat populations are continuing to struggle with the devastating effects of white nose syndrome.

Researchers are still working on solutions, but New Hampshire biologists suggest small ways residents can help them out.

The latest

The onslaught of white nose syndrome began in the state around 2009, when the fungus began irritating the bats and causing them to prematurely wake from their slumber, exhaust their natural fat stores and ultimately die.

When New Hampshire Fish and Game did its 2008 survey of hibernacula, it counted nearly 4,000 bats. Reviewing these same hibernacula a decade later, it found just 26.

Some species were hit harder than others.

“Little brown bats in particular — we only saw one this year,” said Fish and Game biologist Sandi Houghton.

Once the most populous species of bat in the Northeast, their numbers in the state dropped from 3,135 to one in the past 10 years. Other species of bat have also been decimated, such as the northern long-eared bat.

Houghton said there are about a dozen known hibernacula in the state but they surveyed four hibernacula in this winter survey.

They hope to check different hibernacula next year.

This is the first survey they performed in the past three or four years, Houghton said, because they wanted to give the bats a chance to hibernate in peace and maybe rebound their numbers a bit. That didn’t seem to happen.

All local species except the big brown bat (which saw some declines but not nearly as much as others) are now listed as state endangered.

nose syndrome, but they’re not dying from it.”

They may hold some potential adaptation that future generations can benefit from. Bat species in Europe, where the fungus originates, have evolved an adaptation to the fungus over millions of years. So a long-term solution in North America may be far off.

Still, biologists have found that some little brown bats are surviving despite having the disease, especially in places like New York, where it was first discovered.

A study that included New Hampshire found some banded bats survived and returned to their regular roosting locations.

That was the case with some bats that hibernate in a cave in Vermont and return to a barn in Charlestown, New Hampshire, to roost, according to Susi von Oettingen, endangered species biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. One of the reasons the bats do well there is that the barn owners are careful not to disrupt them.

“The landowners are particularly bat conservation oriented,” von Oettingen said.

Still, she said the survivors are in very low numbers.

“I don’t want to call the population stable, but it doesn’t seem to be crashing as it did,” von Oettingen said.

The recovery is going to take decades, she said. And von Oettingen doesn’t expect to see the same population numbers as we saw prewhite nose syndrome in her lifetime.

Glimmers of hope One of the reasons it will take so long for There are research projects across the population to grow back is that bats only give country to find a solution to the problem. birth to one pup per year.

Houghton said some are experimenting with UV-C light to irradiate the fungus, but bats can get easily reinfected and the light may not Helping out There are ways residents can help bat popreach places under the wings or armpits of the bats where the fungus has taken up residence. ulations take hold and rebound.

Houghton said one way is to stay out of old The fungus lacks a gene sequence that allows it to repair cell damage caused by UV light, mines and places where bats hibernate. Disturbing them will make it harder for them to making it a sort of vampire fungus.

Researchers are also looking for ways to survive the winter.

Once they leave their hibernacula, they’ll support natural survivors.

“There are some that are surviving,” need a place to roost. Humans can provide Houghton said. “They’re still getting white some of those places.

facing the south/southeast with a lot of sunlight hitting it during the day.

You want to make sure there isn’t anything below it you don’t want guano to fall on. If it’s on a tree, Houghton said it’s also important to make sure there aren’t any branches just under the house that an owl can perch on and use to prey on the bats.

There also needs to be a consistent source of fresh water nearby for the bats to drink from.

Bigger houses are better than smaller ones, according to von Oettinger, because bigger groups of bats will be able to cluster together. And if you can get 100 or so bats on your property, it will make a noticeable dent in pesky night-time insects like mosquitoes.

Houghton said people can find a lot more tips at the Bat Conservation International website at batcon.org.

Biohacking competition

College students compete to print best organic tissue

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

On May 18 and May 19, college students statewide will have an opportunity to compete in the first BioHackNH event, where they’ll be tasked with making organic material with special 3-D printers and judged on how closely they achieve the desired results.

The event is a partnership between the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute, UNH Manchester and Cellink, a bioink and bioprinter company. This is part of a burgeoning field of science where scientists, engineers and health care providers hope to someday manufacture replacement tissue for humans using 3-D printing technology.

Patrick Thayer, a bioink officer at Cellink, said the company will be providing a couple printers and all the “inks” that students will use to make their tissue products. These bioinks, as they’re called, include substances such as gelatin, alginates, polyethylene oxides, pluronics, nanocellulose and more. In real-world application, these would serve as a sort of template or scaffolding that, when mixed with living cells, would guide the cells to form skin grafts or corneas or even more complex organs in the future.

“The challenge we’re giving the participants of this is we want them to design and develop a vascular network and basically print it,” Thayer said.

The hard part will be striking a balance between creating a wide-reaching vascular network and not compromising the structural integrity of the tissue. Thayer said judges will pump the tissues full of dye to see how well it diffuses throughout the vascular network in the material, and they’ll score extra points for taking risks and experimenting. That may

“A bat house can definitely provide potential habitat,” Houghton said. “If they are in your barn, you can continue to let them use your barn.”

Guano is always an issue when bats use the interior of a barn or shed, but Houghton said folks can set up false ceilings to keep the guano from dropping on their belongings. Even a simple tarp will do the trick.

Another approach von Oettingen suggests is putting a bat house inside of a barn. That way, the bats will concentrate into a single location, which helps them share body heat for the young and makes the guano more manageable.

Houghton said you can also set up bat houses in trees or on the sides of buildings.

But location does matter. Bat houses need to be at least 12 to 15 feet above the ground and

mean coming up with an ingenious cocktail of bioinks or a never before considered structural blueprint.

“The idea is to let these students play around with these parameters and learn something from it,” Thayer said.

Students need to print at least 2 milliliters of tissue but they can customize the shape in any way they want.

UNH Manchester is also planning on buying a couple printers for the event and its Biofabrication Innovation Center, which is planned to be opened in January, 2019, according to Mary Stewart, the director of education and workforce development at UNH Manchester.

Someday, this printing technology may also be used for printing custom pharmaceuticals for patients based on their body mass index and their required dosage.

Thayer said he hopes this competition will become an annual event, and they also hope to expand it to high school and middle school students interested in STEM fields. A big part of it is about creating a future workforce for the ARMI initiative, which has promised to reshape the state’s tech industry with a focus on tissue manufacturing. But organizers also hope to see how fresh minds approach the same problems and come up with new ideas for solutions that may someday be used to save lives.

Can you chart the course on how the current discrimination bill got drafted and passed by the House?

This is the third time that this bill is coming before the state legislature. … Last year, the Health and Human Services Committee in the House voted 15-2 on a Republican-led committee to endorse the bill after they heard four hours of testimony. And then it was tabled by just a margin of eight votes. So we came really, really close last year. … I think the biggest shift that’s happened since our bill was tabled at the end of last session [is] we started a pretty serious public information campaign, having house parties with people who would share their stories individually with representatives who did not vote with us last time around.

Can you tell me a bit about where you’re from and how you ended up in New Hampshire?

I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona … the first 18 years of my life and I went to college at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. … It’s a relatively conservative Christian school. When my dad found out that I was queer in high school, he was not at all happy with it and told me that if I wanted to go out of state for college, I would have to go to a conservative Christian school. … They wouldn’t even allow a student LGBT organization to exist on campus. It’s definitely a really beautiful school, really good school, but I felt pretty isolated a lot of the time, not being able to be fully myself. By the time my junior year rolled around, I got together a group of friends and [made] plans to advocate for an LGBT student organization to get recognized on campus. … We did a Change.org petition that got 10,000 signatures [and] over 20 national media hits, but a group wasn’t fully recognized until a few years after I graduated.

It really taught me that I wanted to organize after I graduated, so I started looking for other opportunities to do that. … I was in Colorado for a little bit and I got moved to work with students in western Mass, after my first year out of college. … And I started volunteering with an organization called the Represent.us campaign, trying to get big money out of politics, and then that ended up turning into a job in New Hampshire.

with their representatives to share their stories and organized documentary screenings and panel discussions under the banner of ‘ask a trans person anything.’

And it’s really through that Linds Jakows work that representatives and just more regular people in the community are really learning a lot about what it is to be trans and why these protections are so important. I think that New Hampshire is really ready for this bill to pass. It was really exciting to see another positive committee recommendation … and ultimately a 195-129 vote in the House in favor of the bill.

How do you think it will do in the Senate?

We hope the [judiciary] committee will give a positive recommendation to the full Senate, but regardless of what happens, we’re really confident about having three Republican cosponsors in the Senate … so we are looking to their leadership to pick up a few more supporters. I would say [we are] cautiously optimistic at this point.

How does it feel being honored by the NASW award?

That was really, really exciting. … I spoke to a group of social workers a few months back just sharing some basic information about the bill and trans 101 with them, and I got really good feedback from that and it was great to speak with such a big group of social workers.

Let’s assume this bill is passed and signed.

Do you know what will be next for you?

Freedom New Hampshire is actually just set up to pass non-discrimination bills. … But some of the organizations in our coalition, like Rights and Democracy and the ACLU and GLAAD, I’m sure will be working on talking with the trans community and asking people what the most pressing issues on legislation are for next session. … I think that a lot of people are particularly concerned about health care and making sure that it’s easier to update gender markers on various forms of identification. I definitely think the next fights are going to focus on that, but ultimately, it’s up to what the trans community tells organizations here is most important. — Ryan Lessard

According to a study by researchers at the University of New Hampshire, 14 percent of the state’s known prehistoric and historical sites will be lost within 100 years due to sea level rise. The Carsey School of Public Policy at UNH released its findings, stating that due to the significance of the sites in the coastal parts of the state, and the disproportionate contributions they make to the state’s tourism industry, there will need to be a policy discussion to address the issue.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: There are 12 sites on the National Register of Historic Places as well as 80 known historic cemeteries in jeopardy.

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S LONGSHOTS

Interesting baseball stories in 2018 The baseball season is under way and in case you’re wondering, there will be more to it than just the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry reigniting last week in the cold at Fenway. So here are few of the stories I will be following around the Majors: Angels – DH – Pitcher Shohei Ohtani: Since I still call him the Greek Freak, I won’t pretend that I can pronounce his name just yet. But with Ohtani hitting homers in three straight early games, one of which traveled 449 feet, and the Angels winning his first two starts, including when he threw six perfect innings in the second one, he is off to a rousing start as baseball’s first pitcher/hitter (at the same time) in a long time.

I’m all over this one, because I’ve been saying for about a zillion years that it is possible to be a p/h and should be done if the right player comes along — so I can’t say how much I’m looking forward to watching his season unfold. The last player with this recognition was the Babe himself and now MLB has gotten around to giving it a try again 98 years later. Who says baseball isn’t progressive?

Free Agents To Be: Speculation has Manny Machado possibly getting $30 million a year in free agency for 10 years.

But that’s too much money and years for a guy who has never driven in 100 runs even once. He’s versatile defensively and hits homers, though they come at an easy park. And it’s not like the Orioles don’t have a lot of guys on base in front of him.

Bryce Harper’s the other big free agent to be and they’re saying he could get more than that. Wonder who’s dumb enough to lock themselves into a Stanton-esque deal.

The leading contenders are the Dodgers, the Rangers, and — of course — Theo with the Cubs.

Merlot Joe and Stupid Batting LineUps: Never underestimate how dumb people can be when they see the crowd moving in one direction and blindly follow. The latest one is placing sluggers like Aaron Judge second in the batting order.

It started with Merlot Joe (Maddon) batting his best hitter second with the Cubs, I guess because the OBP is high. But can you explain to me how the Yanks and Cubs batting their best hitter closer to the 8 and 9 hitters benefits the team after their first time up? Wouldn’t the Yanks be better putting Didi Gregorius in front of Judge (at 3rd) and moving Stanton and Gary Sanchez back to 4 and 5 to give Judge a better chance at driving guys in, while still hitting in front of their other power? Seems nuts to me.

Worst Uniforms Since The White Sox Wore 1919 Throwbacks: That was sometime in the 1970s during the second Bill Veeck (as in wreck) era. But now it’s the San Francisco Giants with the horrid, black shirts and garish orange trim on their uniforms and hats. Yikes! They are so bad that if I was on the Giants, I’d demand to be traded to any team but Tampa Bay rather than wear them.

Worst Fans in Baseball: This requires a definition. Some say it’s those that are apathetic and basically uninterested. If that is yours, then it’s hard to argue against Miami and Tampa Bay. But if it’s those who lack patience and boo at the drop of a hat on the notion that they are “sophisticated and demanding” — then they’re in the Bronx.

You have to love New York for booing Giancarlo Stanton in his very first game at the stadium when he struck out five times.

And the New York Post made it all the way to April 8 amid a 1-for-20 slump before running this headline — “We should have seen this Giancarlo Stanton coming.” That came over a Ken Davidoff column talking about never having played a “meaningful” game in September in any of his eight years

in the majors. Yikes. What about Philadelphia? They’re already ready giving new (age) manager Gabe Kapler a rough go. Of course, when you call a reliever into a game that you forgot to tell to warm up, as Gabe did, they sort of have a point.

Stat of April: But, I will say it is absolutely amazing that in Stanton’s first 46 at-bats as a Yankee, his 22 whiffs were already more than Joe DiMaggio had in the 1938, 1939, 1941 and 1948 seasons.

Most glaring is the 13 that Joe D had in the entire 1941 season when he hit in 56 straight games. That, my friends, is simply incredible and leads to this question — if Stanton got a 13-year, $325 million deal, what would they be paying Joe? Who Wins in the NL: I like the Giants after the pitching and injuries get sorted out. Adding Andrew McCutchen and Evan Longoria to a lineup with Buster Posey makes them hitting challenged no longer.

Who Wins the AL: I’ll follow the leader and take Houston. Love that relentless lineup and adding Gerrit Cole to the staff with a rejuvenated Justin Verlander for the entire season makes them tough to beat.

But What About Those Yankees Acquisitions: Sorry, not as high on the Bombers as every so-called expert at ESPN.com is.

Besides their top four hitters – Didi Gregorius, Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton — the rest of the line-up has holes, unproven players, injury issues and depth issues in the starting pitching. If they hide the bullets and keep Aroldis Chapman out of the garage the bullpen does look formidable, even if Dellin Betances seems about to start getting his mail at the Steve Blass, Steve Sax, Chuck Knoblauch suite at Bellevue. But all in all, the Sox are better.

And I wrote the last one before the threegame series.

Clifford out in Charlotte Babe Ruth Award: It goes to Concord’s Griffin Gilbert who got the win with a fourhit, nine-strikeout effort over 5.1 innings vs Trinity while also supplying the offense in a 2-for-4, one RBI day in a 9-1 win over the Pioneers.

Sports 101: Name the only two pitchers in baseball history to win 20 games in one season and record 50 saves in another.

Going South Award: That was literally and figuratively for Memorial in a rough day in diamond clashes with Salem. The Blue Devils were 19-1 winners in softball and 14-0 in baseball behind Sydney Emerson’s 4-for-5, four-runs-scored day, which included hitting three three-run homers. In baseball, Andrew Shumski deviled the Crusaders by allowing just one hit and struck five in a five-inning shortened affair when Jake Emerson had 4 RBI in a 2-for-4 outing.

ED WOLAK - BOYS & GIRLS CLUB CLASS OF 1967 In between playing games at the then Manchester Boys Club, Ed Wolak was handing out ping pong paddles, pool sticks and making popcorn as a volunteer behind the counter. Later it was supervising archery events and teaching younger kids how to play games like chess. He spent so much time helping, he racked up more volunteer hours than anyone, leading to the formation of The Keystone Club and being named Boy of the Year in 1967. He used that work ethic later as a part-timer at Dunkin Donuts while attending Manchester Central and New Hampshire College. Soon after graduating from NHC, he bought his first franchise in Portland, Maine. Number two and three followed a short time later making Ed the youngest in DD history to own three franchises. The building never stopped. Today he owns 96 franchises, spread over Maine, New Hampshire and Upstate New York with over 2,000 employees. Even with that, he manages to stay involved as a trustee at his alma mater, now known as SNHU, where the Edward S. Wolak Library Learning Common’s building is named in his honor.

He signed Larry Doby as the AL’s first African-American player – three months after Jackie Robinson made MLB history by breaking the color barrier in the National League.

But Veeck is best known for looney activities like cutting a hole in his wooden leg to use as an ashtray, and harebrained stunts like signing 3’6” Eddie Gaedel to make it hard for pitchers to throw him strikes (Gaedel walked on four pitches in the only plate appearance of his career).

What to grow

Choosing the best flowers and plants for your garden

By Angie Sykeny

If you’re new to gardening, or you’re planting a new garden from scratch, there are many things to consider when choosing your first flowers and plants. Two local garden club presidents shared their tips about how to start your garden off strong.

HIPPO | APRIL 19 - 25, 2018 | PAGE 14

First things first

Nashua Garden Club president Lois Scotto said the first step to finding the perfect plants and flowers is to determine where you’re going to plant them, and what kind of environment that space or those spaces will provide.

Consider how you’re going to water your plants.

“Remember, you have to continue to care for these things after you plant them, so make sure you pick a space with a water

source close enough to sufficiently water the plants,” Scotto said.

Then, you’ll need to think about sunlight.

Plants fall into three categories of sunlight requirement. Full-sun plants, such as marigolds or petunias, need at least six hours of sunlight per day. Partial-sun or partial-shade plants need between four and six hours, and full-shade plants, such as impatiens and begonias, need less than four hours.

Healthy soil, happy plants

Having good soil will help your garden thrive

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Few things are as fundamental to gardening as making sure your soil is in good shape. Good soil depends on many factors, but without it your plants will struggle to grow and flourish. Getting your soil tested is key to figuring out what you need to do to create the perfect home for your garden.

Physical

Soil comes in many different forms with a variety of characteristics.

Karen Dudley, a soil scientist at the Natural Resource Conservation Service in Concord, said there are 19,000 soil types mapped throughout the United States and about 240 in New Hampshire alone.

She said good soil is defined by three categories: physical, chemical and biological.

The physical makeup of your soil is determined by its compaction, texture and infiltration capacity, meaning the ability for water to get in.

Don Keirstead, the state soil scientist, said if your ground is too compacted, no amount of fertilizer is going to help your plants grow. That’s because there isn’t enough aeration and places for moisture and microbes to swim around and transport nutrients to the plant.

A common mistake by gardeners, he said, is doing a lot of garden work when the ground is muddy and wet. By walking and wheeling over muddy terrain, you are more likely to compact the soil.

While generally he recommends very little soil disruption, ground that is already compacted may require some tilling.

An ideal balance in your soil makeup, he said, would be 25 percent water, 25 percent air and 50 percent soil particles.

Chemical

The chemical makeup of your soil can be broken down into a few different categories. There is the pH balance, nutrients like nitrogen and minerals like calcium.

The first thing people should do to make sure their garden has what it needs is to perform a soil test.

Emma Erler with UNH Cooperative Extension said a standard home yard and garden test is $17 and takes about three weeks from the time the lab receives the sample to the time you get the results. April and May are the busiest months, however, and results can take longer.

To create a sample, you need to collect soil from six to eight different locations in your garden (try to avoid outlier areas with very obviously different soil types) about six inches deep and mix them together in a bucket. For trees and shrubs, dig between six and eight inches deep.

Once you’ve mixed the soil together, extract only one dry cup of soil and ship it to the lab. Don’t send more than one cup.

There’s also a questionnaire you have to fill out that will ask what kinds of crops you’re growing so the lab results can come with informed recommendations.

To find the form and instructions, go to extension.unh.edu and search ‘soil testing’ in the top bar.

“One of the first things they look for is soil pH,” Erler said.

Erler said the ideal range for most plants is between 6 and 6.5. Keirstead said garden crops in particular like it even higher, between 6.5 and 6.7, which is pretty close to neutral.

Keirstead said Granite Staters generally have to add a lot of lime to bring down the acidity.

“The soils in New Hampshire are naturally very acidic,” Keirstead said.

cultivated before, he expects you’ll need about 2 or 3 tons of lime per acre. For deficiencies in minerals like calcium or magnesium, there are bags of lime sold with those minerals mixed together.

The next thing you’ll need to consider is the nutrient load of the soil. The three main nutrients you need to consider are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Every bag of fertilizer is usually sold with a number associated to each under a label that reads “N-P-K” so you know how it’s balanced with one nutrient or another.

If your soil test results mark a low nitrogen figure but it’s high in phosphorus, you need to find a fertilizer that conversely provides more nitrogen and less phosphorus.

“New Hampshire soils tend to be really high in phosphorus,” Erler said.

Each nutrient provides a different kind of aid to the plants. Sherry Diamond, the president of the Milford Garden Club, remembers what they do with a mnemonic device “up, down and all-around.” Nitrogen helps with the “up,” or green stem and leaf growth, phosphorus helps with the “down,” meaning the root system, and the potassium helps with the plant “all-around.”

Not only do you need to consider your existing soil makeup, you also need to consider what plants need.

“Every plant has its own preferences,” Diamond said.

For things like morning glories, Diamond said you generally don’t want to fertilize them because they’ll just grow their vines and not flower as much. But annuals like petunias and geraniums usually require more fertilizer.

Keirstead said wildflowers generally don’t need fertilizer and only require a good pH balance.

Timing is also important. Keirstead said the ideal times for putting down fertilizer are when the plants just start growing in the late spring. Otherwise, nitrogen and potassium, which are water-soluble, will wash way and leach into the water table, while phosphorus, usually in salt form, will stick around.

“That’s why it’s best to fertilize your lawn in the late spring when there’s more moisture around … or late fall,” Keirstead said.

Slow-acting lime is best put down in the fall, while fast-acting lime is ideal for the spring.

Finally, your soil needs to have a rich microbial economy. The test results will give you a sense of how much organic matter is in your soil.

Erler said 10 percent is on the high side, but 5 percent is within the normal range.

Keirstead said organic material is essential for the nutrients to get to the plant.

“The organic matter in the soil is what feeds the microbes. The microbes are what make the nutrients in the soil available,” he said.

One of the reasons he advises against tilling the soil too much is it increases the air in the soil, which accelerates the decomposition of organic matter.

If your soil is low on organic matter, one option is to grow a cover crop, like farmers do to keep their soil healthy between harvests, or simply add compost and manure.

Miller said.

Starting your own garden can be simple, but knowing the right tools to use and the best amounts of sun and shade to have plays an important role in its success.

What to avoid

The essentials

Donna Miller of Petals in the Pines in Canterbury said that while it’s easy to go crazy with having so many tools, all gardeners should start with a comfortable pair of gloves.

“You want to protect your hands, which is most important,” she said.

She said she recommends nitrile gloves, made of a material similar to latex, only stronger.

“Nitrile gloves are not only really cheap, but they’re very form-fitting to your hand, so you can pick up little seedlings with your fingertips,” she said. “A lot of the canvas type gloves make it harder to feel with tiny things, so nitrile gloves are really nice in that respect.”

Other tools that are essential to any type of garden, according to Miller, include a garden fork, a planting spade to prevent grass from entering the bed, and a hand trowel for digging small holes to plant bulbs.

A saddle-shaped stirrup hoe is an effective tool for weeding.

“It’s got a long handle and the bottom part is a straight blade,” she said. “You scratch over the surface of the soil with it, so when the weed seeds come up, it cuts the roots right off and kills the weeds.”

You also need a wheelbarrow or a cart you can move large piles of weeds or compost in, and a rake to make rows in your garden bed when you are planting. Finally, Miller recommends getting a set of bypass pruners for branch cutting.

According to Miller, most of the tools you may think would be helpful in starting your own garden but don’t actually need are mechanical rather than manual.

One of them is a rototiller, which she said looks kind of like a small lawn mower but is designed to cultivate the soil of your garden and kill weeds.

“Garden beds add organic matter over time, like earthworms and bacterial microorganisms that have their own ecosystems going on,” she said. “Disturbing that [with a rototiller] totally messes it up because it will kill a lot of them. You want to have earthworms in your soil because they create tunnels for air pockets that allow roots to grow.”

She also advises against using leaf blowers, as tempting as it may be to get rid of old leaves lying across your garden bed.

“Leaves are organic matter for your soil too,” she said. “People tend to want to get them out but it’s counterintuitive because it actually takes away the nutrition.”

Additional tools

Depending on the type and the size of your garden, other tools like containers, fertilizers or watering cans may apply.

“There are all kinds of containers out there for the smaller gardens, but you should make sure there is drainage in the bottom of it,” Miller said. “Then for fertilizer, fish emulsion fertilizer is great when you have a more confined space of soil.”

If there are no holes in the bottom of the container, you could also fill it with rocks before adding in the soil so that it doesn’t get completely flooded when you add the water.

per week on average, but Miller 20 said tools like sprinklers and soaker hoses help you keep track of how much they are getting. What you use may depend on the garden’s size, but she said the idea is to water the soil and not the plant itself.

Measuring the ratio of the amount of sun your garden gets to the amount of shade is crucial, and it all depends on what you are planting. Miller said most will come labeled with their own requirements for sun exposure.

“Full sun would be six or more hours

Hours: Closed Mon, Open Tues-Fri 11am-6pm Sat 10am-6pm | Sun 10am-5pm

of direct sunlight. Partial sun is four to six hours,” she said. “Partial shade is defined as either filtered light throughout the day or two or less hours of intense sunlight, so it’s not the same as partial sun.”

The best times of the year for sunlight when planting your garden, according to Miller, are usually from mid-May through the month of July, and generally between the hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

But if you’re not sure where to plant your flowers for them to get the most out of the sun, Miller said you can plant them in a few different places and observe which ones benefited the most. Or you can create your own shady spots using small trees and shrubs.

ARTS Building up

NH Furniture Master hosts fine woodworking TV series

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Tom McLaughlin never imagined that his home woodworking studio in Canterbury would be the set for a national television show, but when the producers of Rough Cut asked him to be the show’s new host, he went for it.

“It was kind of surreal, because I feel like everything I’ve done has led me to this,” McLaughlin said. “It’s a dream job. I love teaching and love the idea of ‘passing it on.’”

McLaughlin began his woodworking career in 1990 with an apprenticeship under master craftsman P.A. “Pug” Moore in North Carolina. After three years of apprenticing, he opened his first shop, where he built custom period-style furniture. In 1998, after moving to Canterbury, he started teaching furniture-making classes at Canterbury Shaker Village and was accepted as a member of the prestigious New Hampshire Furniture Masters Association. A few years later, he built the two-story, 3,600-square-foot woodworking studio on his home property and launched his business, McLaughlin Woods, designing and making custom high-end furniture.

In 2011, McLaughlin caught the attention of his predecessor, Rough Cut host Tommy MacDonald, after a chair McLaughlin entered in a design competition at the Boston Home Show’s Wood Expo was named “Best in Show.”

Over the next five years, he appeared as a special guest on Rough Cut for five episodes. When MacDonald announced

that he was moving on from the show, the producers invited McLaughlin to take his place.

Now in its eighth season, the show, formerly titled Rough Cut — Woodworking with Tommy Mac, is partnering with Fine Woodworking Magazine and airing under the new title Rough Cut with Fine Woodworking. The season premiered on April 7 on NHPTV Channel 2 and will continue every Saturday for 13 episodes.

In each half-hour episode, McLaughlin offers step-by-step instruction for completing a fine woodworking project, such as a Shaker-style cherry hall table, an Adirondack-inspired cypress lawn chair, a walnut live-edge coffee table, a curly maple tilt-top round breakfast table and more.

26 Art

The projects chosen for the show capture the essence of McLaughlin’s work, which he said “blurs the line between art and furniture.”

“A lot of what I do is very complex and high in style and takes a long time to make,” he said, “so what I’m trying to do for the show is distill the same techniques I use, but in a simple, more introductory way, so that anyone who watches can enjoy it and get something out of it and feel like they could make the project on their own.”

McLaughlin said he hopes the show will shed a light on the artistic possibilities within the woodworking craft.

“When you’re starting out, it’s all about the fundamentals and how things go together,” he said. “Then you realize, you actually have a lot of choices

and freedom to make what you want to make. It’s a creative outlet, a way to say something beautiful without words … and there’s a never-ending, expansive world of design ideas that I don’t think you can ever get to the bottom of.”

In some episodes, McLaughlin is joined by special guest woodworking experts, including Fine Woodworking editors and his fellow New Hampshire Furniture Masters, David Lamb and Terry Moore.

“Collaborating and spending time with other artists that I respect and getting to see them work — it’s almost like two musicians getting together and having a jam session,” McLaughlin said. “It doesn’t feel like work.”

Outside of the show, McLaughlin has retired from custom commissions to focus on his educational program, “Epic Woodworking, Crafting a Life Story,” for which he teaches online and onsite woodworking classes.

“If someone has a spark of interest in making wood furniture, they have the potential to make something beautiful,” he said. “What I enjoy most is seeing people get inspired to tap into that potential and express themselves creatively.”

Rough Cut with Fine Woodworking The show airs on NHPTV Channel 2 every Saturday at 4:30 p.m. The episodes can be viewed online after they air at finewoodworking.com/rough-cut. For more information about Tom and his woodworking classes, visit epicwoodworking. com.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE Records and reads

Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day and Record Store Day

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

If you like spinning vinyl records or curling up with a good book, April is a good month for you. Show some love for your local independent stores during Record Store Day on Saturday, April 21, or Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 28. Participating stores for both days will have exclusive and special-edition items for sale along with other festivities.

Record Store Day

Now in its 11th year, Record Store Day is celebrated at record stores around the world, but the idea for the event was actually proposed by a New Englander, Chris Brown, who works as the head of marketing and finance for Bull Moose, an independent chain of music stores with locations in New Hampshire and Maine.

“I felt like we needed to celebrate what independent music stores were up to,” he said, “so I suggested that we make our own holiday, to remind everyone what’s great about the music industry, to thank our regular customers who come in, and to have a big celebration.”

The biggest part of Record Store Day is the special record releases, which are available that day at participating record stores. In previous years, the list included around 300 releases, but this year’s list will have more than ever before; 425 releases have been announced as of press time.

There are three categories of releases.

Exclusive releases are ones available only on Record Store Day at participating stores.

Limited run or regional focus releases are also exclusive to Record Store Day, but may not be distributed nationally, or may be limited to 1,000 or less copies. First releases are ones that make their debut on Record Store Day but will be available during the following weeks at various other retailers.

The releases are special for a number of reasons. They may be special-edition colored vinyl or picture disc pressings; albums that were not previously available on vinyl; re-pressings of out-of-print albums that were originally released in small quantities and are now difficult to find; or repressings featuring additional tracks that weren’t on the original pressing.

“These records are available in a way that they’ve never been available before,” Brown said. “The artists and the record labels have a chance to do something outside of what they normally do and to get creative with things that will be exciting for people.”

HIPPO | APRIL 19 - 25, 2018 | PAGE 32

In addition to carrying the Record Store Day releases, some participating stores have special appearances by local or big-name musicians. The Bull Moose store in Scarborough, Maine, for example, will have a performance by Grammy Award-winning alternative rock band They Might Be Giants.

Brown’s advice to people on Record Store Day is to decide in advance what releases they want to look for and to plan accordingly what record stores they want to visit, because not every record store will carry every release.

“A good rule of thumb [for finding a release] is, if you’ve bought another record like it or by the same artist at a particular store in the past, that store will probably have [the RSD release] you want,” he said, “but it’s always good to have a backup store, too.”

Independent Bookstore Day

Independent Bookstore Day is still relatively new; the first was held in 2015. While not yet as widespread as Record Store Day, Independent Bookstore Day follows a similar format.

“It’s a national celebration of bookstores,” said Elisabeth Jewell, event coordinator for Gibson’s Bookstore in Concord. “The bookstores and their customers all get together and have a big party.”

Each year, bookstores order from a catalog of items available exclusively for Independent Bookstore Day. The items include special edition books, signed art prints and covers and literary themed novelty items. Gibson’s, for example, will carry the flash fiction collection A Book on the Table for a special price of $6, and The Book Club Journal, a book with more than 45 themed recommended reading lists, prompts for journaling about the books you’ve read and space for keeping track of book club meetings.

Other festivities at local participating stores will include author readings and book signings, free cake, scavenger hunts, and giveaways like T-shirts, tote bags, bookmarks and this year’s special IBD giveaway items, which include a copy of Feminism: A Very Short Introduction by Margaret Walters and something to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter.

For stores like Gibson’s, which has participated in IBD every year since it began, it’s a chance to show their appreciation for their customers’ loyalty and support.

“We’ve been around for 120 years. We’d consider ourselves a staple in the downtown Concord community,” Jewell said, “but we wouldn’t be here without our customers.

Independent Bookstore Day is something that we can do for them and with them.”

It’s rare that I find a book that is as useful, accurate and easy to read as Native Plants for New England Gardens by Mark Richardson and Dan Jaffe, both on staff at the New England Wild Flower Society in Framingham, Massachusetts. This book presents over 100 species of wildflowers, trees and shrubs, grasses, ferns, vines and lianas (woody vines).

First, the authors define native plants: those that were growing in North America when the first colonists arrived. They stress, right off the bat, that it is important to put the right plant in the right place. Instead of shopping for pretty flowers, they recommend knowing about plants and seeking them out. The glossy photos of the book will help you put together a plant list; their instructions will help you decide if you have a place for a particular plant.

I have always enjoyed eating wild harvested plants. The book covers ramps, which I grow, but also other wild edibles I grow, including two that I didn’t know are edible.

I have a large patch of mayapple. As the authors point out, it spreads robustly and shades out other plants. The blossoms appear beneath the big, wide leaves and are not easily seen; they suggest planting it on a steep incline, so that one can see them — and the fruit, bright red “apples” when standing below the planting.

I have seen the fruit but never knew it was edible until reading about it. Apparently the fruit is also eaten by box turtles. Who knew?

Another edible fruit described in the book is produced by American spikenard. The authors note that spikenard gets big enough to serve as a handsome shrub, but since it dies back to the ground each fall, it won’t be damaged by snow falling off your roof if you plant it near the house. I grow it in part shade and it gets to be 6 feet tall and wide, and produces masses of berries each fall. The berries start off white, change to red, and end up a deep purple. I shall taste them this fall.

I grow all three of the milkweeds described in the book: common, swamp or rose, and butterfly milkweed. The authors explain the pluses and minuses of each, and where to plant them.

“If you are looking for a well-behaved garden plant, then common milkweed is not the best choice.” It spreads by root, they explain, and is suited for “meadows, hell strips or as competition against invasive species.”

Yes, I knew that milkweeds are essential for monarch butterflies, but they point out that they also support tussock moths, swallowtails, and a variety of beneficial beetles. “The plant (swamp milkweed) seemingly supports whole ecosystems on its own, often playing host to bees, ants, and various spiders waiting to eat an unsuspecting pollinator.”

I love cardinal flower and have grown both the native species and modern hybrid varieties in a moist, full-sun garden. I no longer grow the hybrids, as they are less hardy than the native species and have all died out. The authors refer to work done at the University of Vermont that showed that at least one of the hybrids produced only 20 percent of the nectar energy produced by the wild species.

So hummingbirds, who love these bright red flowers, get something akin to diet nectar if you grow the hybrid variety. It’s best to avoid planting them, so read the plant tags carefully before buying.

I love the bright red leaves of staghorn sumac growing by the side of the road, but would never consider planting it on my property. Although a native plant with fruit beloved by returning migratory birds in early spring, it can spread very aggressively and is hard to remove.

But the authors introduced me to another variety, fragrant sumac, that is smaller, “much slower growing, and fairly easy to control even in a formal garden setting.” I shall look for it, and try to learn from others who have grown it (please email me if you have grown it).

I grew up in Connecticut where spicebush was a wild shrub with tasty leaves and twigs that I chewed as a breath freshener. But it is hardy to Zone 4, and I got one two years ago.

According to the book, it is an understory shrub that does well in moist soil. I knew it as a plant for dry shade, and hence planted it here in a dry location, and it has done fine.

What I did not know, until reading Native Plants for New England Gardens, is that spicebush is dioecious — there are male and female plants. That would explain why I have not gotten any of the bright red berries used by the authors in a tea that is “magical for fighting off the common cold and is packed with vitamin C.” I shall get another, and hope for pollination.

One last tip from the book: if you want to grow wintergreen, a low-growing ground cover with tasty red berries, plant it under your blueberries. The sulfur you give your blueberries will make the soil right for wintergreen.

I loved this book. I predict you will, too.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Touch-screen tech is a step in the wrong direction Dear Car Talk: My husband has a new Subaru Forester, and I absolutely hate the touch screen and most of the other controls in the car, like the heating and cooling. The touch screen

By Ray Magliozzi makes it impossible to adjust the radio without looking at the screen, and it’s also really hard to touch the correct point on the screen if you’re driving on even a slightly bumpy road. The settings for temperature also require looking at a number on a display, since the dials don’t have start and stop points. The backup camera is great, but I think they’ve crammed so much into that touch screen that more drivers are going to be distracted. Are any carmakers reconsidering this design? — Barbara You’re right, Barbara: Cramming everything into a touch screen is dangerous. The good news is we’re starting to see backlash.

Honda decided at some point that it was cheaper or “cooler” to eliminate the radio’s volume knob, and created a little thing you slid your finger across to adjust the volume. When we reviewed Hondas, we found it so unpleasant to use that we said it was a deal-breaker for what otherwise was a very good car. Appar-

ently, lots of people agreed with us. Honda recently relented and added a volume knob back to newer models. The volume knob is a perfect example. You knew where to find it by reach, and you could feel how much you were turning it up or down without looking at it. It was ergonomically perfect. And they went and screwed it up; they tried to uninvent the wheel.

The same is true for other controls we use frequently, like temperature, fan and radio presets.

The good news is that the smarter manufacturers have been adding back hard buttons for that stuff, while leaving the touch screen for detailed entertainment choices and vehicle preferences that you use less frequently.

Another example of backward thinking can be seen in today’s automatic transmission shifters. You used to be able to grab the shifter and shift from park to drive, or drive to reverse, just by feel. Now some cars have push-button selectors or joysticks that require attention and concentration (and then a short moment of prayer while you wait to see if your gear wish was granted). When we drove a Cadillac CT6 with a standard automatic shifter a few weeks ago, it was an unexpected joy.

And while the transmission-shifter trend is still heading in the wrong direction, we’re hoping that the “everything via the touch screen” trend is peaking or, better yet, has peaked.

The best thing you can do is refuse to buy a car that isn’t easy for you to operate. Sales are what manufacturers respond to, and if you tell the Subaru salesman that you love the Forester but won’t buy it because you have to take your eyes off the road to adjust the temperature, that’s the strongest message you can send.

Dear Car Talk: I have a 1991 Cadillac Eldorado with 140,000 miles on it. About a year ago, I began having problems with my starter.

When I would try to start my car, sometimes it would start right up, and other times the starter would click several times and then start.

My mechanic recommended that I replace the starter, so I did. The starter worked fine for several days, and after several days of working fine, the same problem returned. I replaced my battery with a new one, and had two different auto stores run a test on my starter, alternator and battery. The tests indicated that they were all in good shape. What else could be causing this problem? Could it be my battery cables or my ignition switch? — Joseph I doubt it’s your battery cable’s terminal ends. Since you had the battery replaced, the mechanic almost certainly made sure the connections were clean and tight. That’s standard procedure. So, based on the age of the car, I would lean more toward a ground prob-

lem. There are ground cables that run from the battery to the chassis, and from the chassis to the engine block. That completes the starting circuit. And unless those ground cables are making good, solid contact, allowing the electrons to make their way back from the starter to the battery, the car won’t start, and you’ll get a clicking noise. And it’s possible that in the decades since the first Bush administration, when you bought this car, those ground connections have started to corrode. When a car is old enough that you can see the ground through the floor, it suggests that your ground connections may be perilous, too. And if the ground connection is corroded, rather than completely detached, that could explain why the problem is intermittent.

I’d have my mechanic run a new ground cable from the negative terminal of the battery right to the engine block, where the starter is bolted to the block. That’ll guarantee that the electrons will have a good path back to the battery. If that doesn’t fix it, Joseph, the next thing I’d look at would be a bad neutral safety switch, which requires the transmission to be in neutral or park before it allows the car to start. Those can fail intermittently. Or you could have a bad or corroded connection somewhere else in the ignition system. But try the ground first.

I saw a blurb in [the Air Force newspaper] about the Air Force Junior ROTC program. ...

FOOD Farm-fresh feasts

City Moose Cafe & Catering Co. opens in Nashua

By Matt Ingersoll

News from the local food scene

mingersoll@hippopress.com

By Matt Ingersoll

There’s one rule that Stacy and Jason Lamountain of Litchfield will be enacting when the new City Moose Cafe & Catering Co. holds its grand opening on Temple Street in Nashua on April 20: Every ingredient used on its menu of flatbreads, salads, sandwiches, breakfast burritos and more will come from sources within a 100-mile radius of the Gate City.

“As far as the menu goes for the cafe, we want it to be different than anything else in downtown Nashua,” Stacy Lamountain said. “We’re really focusing on the farm-fresh aspect, but it’s also going to be a real quick and casual setting, where you come in, you get the food fast, and you get out fast if you want.”

The Lamountains, who are adding the cafe to their existing catering business, have partnered with Granite State farms for ingredients like eggs and produce, which will come from Steve Normanton Grass-Fed Beef in Litchfield. Greens will be hydroponically produced at farms like Oasis Springs Farm in Nashua and Lef Farms in Laconia.

Some of the menu items will utilize ingredients produced in nearby states, like the flatbread pizzas.

“Our pizza dough is from Boston, our cheese is from Vermont and western Massachusetts, and the tomato sauce is produced in Massachusetts too,” Jason Lamountain said.

The Lamountains had been using the kitchen space of the Tupelo Music Hall’s former location in Londonderry for their catering company before taking over their current space late last year, which formerly housed The Seedling Cafe.

The interior has undergone some renovations since then to give the cafe what Stacy Lamountain calls a “rustic New Hampshire theme.”

“We wanted our décor and the aesthetics of the whole front … to have a lot of talking pieces,” she said. “The photos you’ll see along the side wall are all drone photos that were professionally done of the Nashua River, the Community Gardens at Greeley Park in Nashua, and Crawford Notch, and we had them blown up on canvas style. … Then there’s a really cool custom-built bench where those photos are.”

Many of the menu items are New Hampshire-inspired too, like “The 603

Admission to the tasting is free. Visit campaniamarket.net or call 880-8300.

• Pizza Allegria opens: A new farm-to-table pizzeria is now open in Salem. Pizza Allegria (390 Main St., Salem) held a soft opening on March 30 for dine-in and take-out only, with delivery services to everyone within a six-mile radius expected to begin in the near future. The 30-seat pizzeria is in the space of the former Orange Leaf frozen yogurt shop and offers a menu of several specialty house made pizzas, or you can create your own. According to owner Haytham Kandil, all pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired oven imported from Italy, which makes your pies in just four minutes reaching temperatures of 1,500 degrees. Other menu options include hot and cold subs, salads and sides like wood-fired chicken wings, garlic bread and spinach and meat pies. Kandil said he is also in the process of introducing pizzamaking classes for kids ages 4 to 10 on the first Sunday of every month, and possibly a pizza-themed festival later this summer featuring other local pizzerias as vendors. Pizza Allegria is open Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday until midnight and Sunday until 9 p.m. Visit pizzaallegria.net or call 9125198 for more details.

• Let’s talk beer: The final event of this year’s Wings of Knowledge lecture series at New Hampshire Technical Institute (31 College Drive, Concord) is on Tuesday, April 24, at 6 p.m., and it’s all about beer. Join the college for a Q&A panel session with members of several local breweries, who will discuss the beer industry and the overall cultural phenomenon of beer.

Guests will be Nicole Carrier of the Throwback Brewery in North Hampton, Dave Boynton of the 7th Settlement Brewery in Dover, Devin Bush of the Henniker Brewing Co. and Randy Booth of the Hobbs Brewing Co. in West Ossipee.

Mac ‘N Cheese,” which is made with Winni Amber Ale cheese sauce from the 603 Brewery in Londonderry and has options to add barbecue chicken, smoked bacon, ham or shredded beef or to make gluten-free; “The Monadnock” (a Southwest-inspired salad with roasted corn black bean salsa and barbecue ranch dressing); “The Gate City Club” sandwich, with roasted turkey, bacon, greens, tomato and mayonnaise; and “The Nashua Beast” sandwich, which has roast beef, greens, tomato, bacon jam and Boursin cheese.

Snacks and side dishes include the Maine potato chips, which are fried in house and served with a scallion ranch dip, and the “Moose Antlers,” which are soft pretzel sticks served with either honey mustard or a 603 Brewery cheddar beer sauce.

City Moose will also offer a selection of coffees, teas and grab-and-go meals available all day.

Stacy Lamountain said she came up with the name “City Moose” to reflect the couple’s background as New Hampshire residents with both urban and rural roots.

The Lamountains were married at her grandfather’s camp in Pittsburg, where

she spent a lot of time growing up. Jason Lamountain grew up in nearby Hudson before attending the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. He also worked for a time at Michael Timothy’s Local Kitchen & Wine Bar in Nashua and at the Bedford Village Inn. The Grand Opening on April 20 will feature opportunities to meet some of the local farmers the Lamountains are working with, plus samples of the menu items and raffle prizes.

Stacy Lamountain added that special events like a brunch for Mother’s Day and monthly farm-to-table dinners are also in the works for the future.

“The front area … is also going to be used as a function space, so people can have private events like baby showers and office meetings there,” she said.

City Moose Cafe & Catering Co. Grand Opening is Friday, April 20, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Where: 30 Temple St., Nashua Hours: Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Closed on Saturdays and Sundays.

We have 50 flavors of hard ice cream to choose from.

We have soft serve too!

Dave Spagnuolo, founder of the Gale Motor Co. Eatery restaurants in Manchester and Concord, has had a lifelong love for Asian dishes like ramen and bao — he even trained under an Asian-influenced chef. Now, he and co-owner Stacey Murphy have opened Noodle Bar in the space of the original Gale Motor Co. Eatery in Manchester, which closed in February.

The concept is a departure for them; while Spagnuolo and Murphy still run Gale Motor Co. Whiskey & Wine on North Main Street in Concord with a menu heavy on tapas, bourbons and whiskeys, the focus at the Noodle Bar in Manchester is on, well, noodles.

“Ramen is huge right now. We’ve done some ramen dishes at both locations, and I’ve always wanted to do a noodle bar, so we figured that we would change things up,” said Spagnuolo.

He noted that several restaurants in Manchester now offer tapas, so transforming that location of the Gale Motor Co. Eatery into Noodle Bar is allowing them to offer something more unique to the area. The menu features ramen, bao and sake rice wine as its specialties.

Spagnuolo said he is getting some of his product, like oils and noodles, shipped up from New York City because some are unavailable locally.

“When I started to do ramen here, I read about the broths … and what the specific ways of making them are,” he said. “Broths are one of the most important parts, because it all comes out in the flavor, and you have to spend the time to do it right.”

If you’ve ordered a ramen dish at either Gale Motor Co. restaurant in the past, you might recognize a few of them as having made it onto the menu at Noodle Bar, like the miso ramen, which is made with spicy pulled pork, cabbage, snow peas, miso egg, cilantro, scallions and chili oil. Other options available on the ramen menu include tantanmen (with a pork broth and spicy sesame tare, as well as ajitama, minced chicken, bok choy, citrus, cilantro and chili oil) and tonkotsu shoyu (made with sliced pork belly, mushrooms, ajitama, garlic chips, black garlic oil and cilantro).

A menu of tacos using bao buns has also been expanded. There is the pork belly with hoisin, pickled red onions, kimchi aioli and cilantro; the fried chicken with collard greens, smoked bacon,

Spicy tan tanmen

fried jalapenos, Cajun aioli and Sriracha; the brisket with ginger barbecue sauce and pickled pineapple; and the mushroom bao taco with truffle aioli and pickled vegetables.

“Bao buns are … double leavened, so it has baking powder and yeast in it, and then duck fat for flavor,” Spagnuolo said. “When they come out right, they are amazing. Instead of baking them, the steam adds some moisture to it, so they’re like nice puffy pillows.”

The restaurant features a line of sake, a Japanese rice wine. Some mixed drinks made with sake are available as well.

Noodle Bar’s menu also features a few edamame salads, dumplings like chicken curry, pork belly and duck confit, and several kinds of fried rice dishes.

According to Spagnuolo, many of the options are made with his own twist on things.

“A lot of the Japanese [broth flavorings] are fish-based and have bonito flakes and dried fish and sardines, and I’m not a fan of that, so I’m not going to have that,” he said. “I’m going to sort of Americanize it a little bit by not putting that in.”

He added that while some of the ramen dishes may still appear on the menu at Whiskey & Wine in Concord to maintain consistency, its Manchester counterpart has more of an Asian palate.

“You’ll get a bowl of ramen, and it will fill you up,” he said. “Eventually, I might put in some more entree-type things, but it’s definitely focused on noodles.”

Roasted carrot and tomato soup If this winter never ends, I can live blissfully in the cold knowing I’ve found the perfect soup. This roasted carrot and tomato soup is hearty, flavorful and packed with delicious ingredients that make snow in April a little more bearable.

I found the recipe for this soup in the Forks Over Knives Family Recipes cookbook, a gift from my sister who has been vegan for the better part of four years. Now, my next-door neighbor also happens to be vegan, and she and her family suffered from a flu outbreak last week. I offered to make her a family-friendly supper and was so thankful I had a cookbook with plant-based recipes in my kitchen. Fortunately, this recipe did not disappoint.

Roasting the vegetables first helped impart a deep, rich flavor to the soup, so although it took about an hour to complete this step, the finished product was worth the time. After the roasting is complete, the soup comes together relatively quickly. Bringing the water, sage and roasted vegetables up to a boil and then letting it simmer for about 15 minutes is a painless way to make your kitchen smell amazing.

The most effort this soup required, and it was minimal, was moving the water and vegRoasted Carrot and Tomato Soup Recipe courtesy of Forks Over Knives Family Recipes 4 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces 8 to 10 Roma tomatoes, quartered lengthwise 2 small russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into quarters 4 to 6 small cloves garlic 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper

gies to the blender, although this step could be simplified if you have an immersion or hand blender. With a quick pass in the blender, this mixture went from a watery stock to a thick and sumptuous soup. Topped off with fresh basil and a generous amount of salt, the roasted carrot and tomato combo was a downright delectable dinner.

The soup has elements of a less robust pasta sauce, compliments of the roasted tomatoes and the basil, and the cookbook suggests serving over gnocchi for a more filling meal. My husband opted to toss some cooked Italian turkey sausage in his portion and was happy with the finished product. I stuck to just the soup with a slice of fresh bread and couldn’t have been more satisfied.

I stuck to the recipe closely with this one, but I did omit the white pepper, as I’m not a huge fan of its strong flavor. I substituted black pepper and was very generous with the sea salt, which I think brought up the overall flavor. This soup was fantastic the night I made it, but it was even better the next day for lunch. The neighbor that I shared it with heartily agreed, and we all finished the large batch by the next day. — Lauren Mifsud Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, onion and garlic on the baking sheets and bake until the vegetables are soft and slightly brown along the edges, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a stew pot and add 8 cups of water and the sage. Bring to a boil before reducing heat and covering the pot to let simmer about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the flavors have blended. Let cool slightly before transferring to a blender (in batches if necessary) or use a hand blender to blend until smooth, adding up to 2 cups of water if desired for a looser soup. Return to the soup pot and add the basil, vinegar, salt and white pepper to taste. Reheat and serve hot.

Do you know how you know a New England-style IPA is an honest-to-goodness thing?

When West Coast brewers are producing and marketing their own versions of the New England-style IPA. And they are, so it is.

When you really break down a New England-style IPA, it’s beyond unique. While the color can fluctuate, the pour is so hazy, the brew looks like it could be masquerading as a glass of orange juice. In fact, some New England-style IPAs smell eerily similar to freshly squeezed orange juice.

The nose can feature a citrusy mix of aromas, including orange, lemon, grapefruit, pineapple and mango. But many of the New England-style IPAs that inspire people to wait in long lines are characterized by tremendously fresh flavors and a surprising lack of bitterness.

So you’re talking about an explosion of bright, fresh, juicy, flavorful beer — with minimal bitterness. And there you have it. The region and now country’s love affair with the New England-style IPA is certainly understandable.

While hops get much of the deserved credit, Peter Beauregard, owner and brewer at Stoneface Brewing Co., explained previously the interplay between the hops and the yeast is a key component in a New England-style IPA. That said, and I won’t mention any by name, you’ll still see plenty of brews that look the part in terms of their haziness but don’t back it up in terms of flavor and minimal bitterness.

Talking to brewers, it’s extremely difficult to be successful without offering at least one IPA today. More and more, at least in this region, it seems it’s becoming increasingly difficult to succeed without offering your take on the New England-style IPA. When you have a good one, and there are plenty to choose from, it’s a revelatory experience that makes you want to savor every sip.

But if you’ve never had one, it’s a very different experience from the IPAs you’re used to. Let’s get sampling.

Here are six New Hampshire-made, New England-style IPAs to whet your whistle: Double Squeeze by Great Rhythm Brewing Co. (Hampton): This is the epitome of the New England-style IPA: hazy, juicy and in your face with flavor and citrus aromas. At 8-percent, it will smack you around a little bit.

Gold Spray Paint by Stoneface Brewing Co. (Newington): Stoneface has an array of wonderful IPAs, and while I haven’t tried this one yet, I’m intrigued by its relatively low ABV of 5.6-percent — suggests I’ll be having more than one.

Jacked Up by Hobbs Tavern & Brewing

You can’t see through the haze of a New England-style IPA.

Co. (West Ossipee): Literally looks like a glass of Tropicana. Flavorful, smooth and fresh.

Quest Double IPA by Kettlehead Brewing Co. (Tilton): Kettlehead produces several IPA-style brews that certainly look and taste the part of the New England-style IPA. Quest jumps right at you with tropical flavors of pineapple and mango. It’s juicy and yes it’s a double, but it’s very approachable.

Research by Deciduous Brewing Co. (Newmarket): I think the sweet spot for ABV on a New England-style IPA is right about 6.5-percent — and that just so happens to be where Research falls. The alcohol bite is present but not so powerful that it overwhelms the beer, which I think can start to happen as ABVs creep upward. This brew features a very fruity nose and a lingering, pleasing finish. Seek out this brewery.

Misguided Angel by Lithermans Limited Brewery (Concord): Lithermans brews this with four pounds of dry hops in each barrel, so you can expect the brightness of the hops to slap around your taste buds in a pleasing way.

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

What’s in My Fridge Patina Pale Ale by Austin Street Brewing Co. (Portland, Maine): One of my five favorite beers of all time. Sure, the list is constantly evolving, but this beer is absolutely terrific. Bright, hoppy, fresh and not too bitter. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a can of the Patina Pale Ale. Austin Street is a brewery well worth seeking out. Savor this one.

Cheers!

Sur Back, Kitsch II (self-released)

• Sur Back, Kitsch II A

email asykeny@hippo-

The second release from Caroline Sans, a Jupiter, Florida, ballerina who gave up dancing owing to bum arches, was promised to build on her previous EP Kitsch by adding “orchestral layers” to her experimental-ish shoegaze-y mopeindie. That first Kitsch wasn’t all that bad, really, some backward-masking here, overspills of glitch there, and either way, she sings well enough that she could pull off a decent Dolores O’Riordan-karaoke.

If anything, it often sounded like rough takes for Massive Attack’s Mezzanine, with eerie, insectile breakbeats being the common denominator. As for the here and now, I couldn’t say with real seriousness that opening tune “Jane Eyre” is all that “orchestral,” more like Au Revoir Simone with the Nintendo knob jacked to about eight. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, mind you; for a one-person effort I’ve heard a lot worse, and, again, she can sing. “Providence,” however, does have a wide-screen angle, recalling at times the inescapable, menacing vibe Ennio Morricone contributed to the soundtrack of Hateful Eight. Things like that reveal her to be a lot more serious than your average Adderall-popping, clock-punching soundtracker — it appears she does want her listeners to squirm a bit, and I’m definitely down with that.

At the other end of the metamorphic spectrum we just talked about with regard to Sur Back, we have this coed Detroit band, whose debut album had some pretty interesting layers — slide guitars, mellotron-ish keyboards, pseudo-glitch — that they chose to abandon for this second joint, which was recorded in the middle of some Michigan nowhere in order to take in the sparseness and add it to their sound. Once you get past the nerdy quality of Bobby Colombo’s voice you immediately notice that this crew could give Guster fits if they decide to up their slacker-folk-rock game past the David Berman level (“You Can’t Hide” has a seriously pretty coda). Anyway, I was saying they were dumping the layering, and maybe they did, but the title track here has a gleam and bluegrass silkiness that sounds pretty layered to me (one break does have an unadorned Versus quality to it), and there’s the mellotron again in “A Lotta Things,” actually fitting in quite well, or maybe I’m just not allergic to Colombo’s baritone anymore. Great guitar lines, anyway, which you can hear when they open for Band of Horses at Prescott Park in Portsmouth on Aug. 11. A — Eric W. Saeger

• Hey metalheads, there’s nothing I love more than not feeling comfortable enough to mention an album whose title is so disgusting (and in this case, mindlessly derivative) that I refuse to type it into this totally awesome rock ’n’ roll column! So, thanks Melvins, I will simply tell my readers that you have a new album coming out on April 20, and they’ll automatically Google it, because gross, and in the meantime we’ll talk about another heavy metal thingamajig, Stryper! Anyone who’s getting literal truckloads of AARP spam in their mailbox knows that these guys used to dress in bumblebee-colored spandex, they were supposed to be Christians and they were (and still are, believe it or not) proud makers of the genre I like to call “boring metal with an unneccessarily targeted market. It’s not like the spandexed charlatans of Stryper aren’t trying to be provocative with their new LP title, God Damn Evil, but at least it’s not superfluously gross, like, these little devils are sick, I mean sick of evil, so stop it and give them money! Let’s go listen to one of these stupid songs and save ourselves from Linda Blair, it’ll be fun. Whom do you bet they rip off this time? I’m guessing Accept, so let’s go see! Roll, my little 4channers! Looky here, my YouTube says the single is called “Take It to the Cross.” It kind of rips off “In for the Kill” by Sabbath, but it’s not completely… wait, this whole thing just went south, meaning down in flames, not H.E.double-pole-vault-poles, because the chorus sounds like a munchkin trying to be Geddy Lee. Let’s get out of here before the Inquisition catches us!

• Wuh oh, it’s a new album from A Perfect Circle, called Eat The Elephant! I feel comfortable mentioning that album title, because it’s just idiotic, not gross. You know, folks, when I first started reviewing CDs back in 2004, I was a bit of a lost goth soul and actually thought this band was awesome, even though there’s a guy from Tool in it. I mean, they’re OK, but nowhere near as cool as Wumpscut and Skinny Puppy, but there was definitely something disturbing about them, so let’s toddle off and see if they’ve become actual-awesome since last I left them. OK, they haven’t; the single, “TalkTalk,” sounds like Brian Ferry trying to be goth, forget I said anything.

• Ha ha, it’s Sting & Shaggy, teamed up to do an album called 44/876! I’m listening to the single, “Don’t Make Me Wait,” and finding I like the Shaggy parts at least. What’s that? No, no, I’m not kidding, it’s a real album, go look. — Eric W. Saeger

Nothing but the comics

Old-school comic book show comes to Nashua

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

A new comic event is going back to the basics with a focus on comics and the people who make them. The first annual Granite State Comic Fest will take place in Nashua on Sunday, April 22, and will feature dozens of comic book creators, comic artists and comic vendors.

Sixteen years ago, Manchester comic store Double Midnight Comics organized the first Granite State Comic Con. It was a small event, focused entirely on comics with little more than an expo of comic creators and vendors. Now, the annual comic convention, held every September in Manchester, features not only comic creators and vendors, but also celebrity guests, educational panels and workshops, costume contests and more.

Seeing it grow over the years has been exciting, Double Midnight owner Chris Proulx said, but part of him always wanted to rekindle the simplicity of the inaugural event.

“We missed the old-school comic shows where it was all about meeting the artists and buying comics,” he said.

“We’ve tried to keep [Granite State Comic Con] centered around comic books, but when [an event] gets that big and there’s all this other stuff going on, you have things competing against each other, and the comics can get a little bit drowned out.”

That’s why Proulx partnered with Comic Art House, which represents more than 50 comic artists, to create Granite State Comic Fest, a throwback to the early days of comic book conventions, before they started including things beyond comics.

“We’ve been comic readers our whole lives. We own comic book shops. Comics are what we love most,” Proulx said.

“With a smaller event like this, we can focus purely on comic books and the comic-making process, and give the artists a chance to really show off what they can do.”

The artists come from around New England and include independent artists as well as artists who have done work for major comic book publishers like DC Comics and Marvel Comics. They will be selling and signing their comics and art prints, and some will be creating custom art for people onsite. Vendors will have comic books and graphic novels, toys and action figures, cards and other comic-related collectibles for sale.

Additionally, the first 100 attendees will receive goodie bags filled with frameable art prints, exclusive comics featuring artwork by some of the participating artists and a page of original artwork. There will also be raffles with prizes including comic books and comic-related novelty items.

For comic artists like Chris Uminga, who is coming up from Connecticut for the event, it’s a unique opportunity to showcase their work.

“It goes back to the roots of what comic conventions used to be, before all the celebrity guest lists and photo ops,” Uminga said. “It’s all about the comics and the artists, and that’s a really nice thing, because events like that are few and far between these days.”

Uminga’s comic art style is “a mix between cute and creepy, with exaggerated features and a spooky twist,” he said, and is inspired by things like old monster movies, graffiti and street art and the classic comic books he read as a kid. In his eight years as a professional comic artist, he has done cover work for comics like Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Wars Adventures, and designed a line of action figures for DC Comics set to be released in June.

Comic artist Christopher Uminga will be at the Granite State Comic Fest. Courtesy photo.

The best part about participating in comic conventions, particularly smaller ones like Granite State Comic Fest, Uminga said, is the sense of community between the artists and their fellow artists and fans.

“You get to showcase your work to these people who have all come together with the same passion and the same fandom,” he said. “It’s a unique experience.”

POP CULTURE BOOKS

Everything Happens for a Reason, by Kate Bowler (Random House, 178 pages) As much as Kate Bowler hates having Stage IV cancer, she also hates platitudes.

Everything happens for a reason. It’s going to get better. God needed an angel. Karma is a bitch.

Platitudes are what passes for insight in a nation that, Bowler says, is steeped in “facile reasoning.”

“And God is always, for some reason, going around closing doors and opening windows. God is super into that,” she wrote in an essay published in The New York Times in 2016.

If Bowler seems a bit sardonic for a professor at Duke Divinity School — she once took up cursing for Lent — you could blame it on the chemotherapy for the colon cancer she’s been fighting for more than a year.

It also could have something to do with growing up in a Mennonite community in rural Canada, where “the most holy words found outside of the Scriptures were ‘I got it on sale,’” and then going on to research American prosperity preachers such as Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copeland. (#Blessed.)

Whatever the origin, Bowler’s writing is the love child of Anne Lamott and H.L. Mencken, and her Times essay, “Death, the Prosperity Gospel and Me,” was so well-received that she parlayed it into a book. It helps that she’s still alive, something that did not seem possible when she was diagnosed with colon cancer and given a 30-percent chance of being alive in a year.

Despite having good insurance, Bowler’s diagnosis came late —

late enough to seem criminally negligent.

By the time she talked a doctor into ordering a CT scan, she had lost 30 pounds and had been suffering “stabbing” stomach pains every couple of hours for three months.

(The doctor who eventually relented to the CT scan had just wanted to send her home and had said, “I looked at your latest tests and they don’t tell me anything conclusive.” Every patient in North Carolina deserves to know this guy’s name.)

The scan revealed cancer so advanced that Bowler was told to go to the hospital immediately. She was 35. She had just had a son with her beloved Mennonite husband, Toban, whom she had met “when both of us were practically teenagers and he was still mildly enchanted by my propensity for spontaneous song.”

The diagnosis was especially ironic because she had just published a book called Blessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel. Adherents to that enthusiastic brand of Christianity believe that God bestows special favors on those who adhere to His rules.

“There are no setbacks, just setups.

There are no trials, just tests of character. Tragedies are simply opportunities to claim a bigger, better miracle.”

While her reporting on the subject was thorough and seemingly objective, Bowler is clearly a skeptic and her raised eyebrow never descends when

she’s talking about the prosperity gospel, even though she once won $1,300 at bingo after sending up a prayer. Prosperity people would have her think and eat her way back to health. There would be a cause for her sickness, and a lesson.

But Bowler and her husband will have none of the ineffectual syrup of happy-think, the “Everything happens for a reason.” When one well-meaning person says that to her husband, he replies, “I’d love to hear it.” The startled woman says, “Pardon?” He says, “I’d love to hear the reason my wife is dying.”

When Bowler’s mother-in-law insensitively complains about her wrinkles and other indignities of growing older, Bowler, who sees her life in two-year increments at best, replies, “I think aging is a [expletive] privilege.”

Bowler’s book is a chronicle of defiance in the face of tragedy, and also a fresh and necessary challenge to the lazy ways in which healthy people respond to people who are sick. We mean well, yes, and we don’t know any better because no one has spelled out precisely what we shouldn’t say and what we should do. We no longer have that excuse. In appendices, Bowler offers two lists: “Absolutely never say this to people experiencing terrible times” and “Give this a go. See how it works.”

An excerpt from the latter: “But really, bring me anything. Chocolate. A potted plant. A set of weird erasers. I remember the first gift I got that wasn’t about cancer and I was so happy I cried. Send me funny emails filled with YouTube clips to watch during chemotherapy.

Do something that suits your gifts. But most important, bring me presents!”

Go and do likewise. One present you could give is this book, but only to a certain kind of person — the kind of person who might take up cussing for Lent. B+ — Jennifer Graham

HIPPO | APRIL 19 - 25, 2018 | PAGE 55

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Rampage (PG-13)

Dwayne Johnson fights giant genetically-mutated animals in Rampage, which is billed as being loosely based on a video game and is not the movie where Dwayne Johnson fights in a giant building.

That movie is called Skyscraper and comes out in July. I mention this because when this movie started with some title cards about recent breakthroughs in gene manipulation I thought, “What does that have to do with a skyscraper? Is the building some kind of human/edifice hybrid?” and then I had to remind myself which stupid-premise-having The Rock movie I was actually about to see. (Though, The Rock versus a human-building hybrid is probably coming to a theater near you in summer 2019.)

Davis Okoye (Johnson) is a scientist who studies primates at the San Diego Zoo and, because of course, was once a member of a special forces unit that hunted down animal poachers. Which is how he came to adopt George, an albino gorilla who now lives at the zoo.

To clarify, that’s not even the dodgiest part of the premise set up. That distinction is held by the opening scene, which has scientists doing questionable gene-related science in a privately owned space lab.

When a giant, spiky-backed rat gets free and starts murdering the scientists, one tries to escape, taking the lab samples with her because that’s the only way her employer on Earth, Claire Wyden (Malin Akerman), will allow her to use the escape pod. The lab blows up, the pod blows up but bits of the lab samples come hurtling back to earth and are found by animals including a crocodile, a wolf and George.

When ex-Wyden scientist Kate Caldwell (Naomie Harris) finds out about the loose lab samples, she comes to see Okoye, getting his attention by explaining that she knows why George is suddenly much much bigger and so aggressive that he was able to easily take on a grizzly bear. When George breaks free, Kate and Davis go after her, Davis hoping that Kate will be able to save George and keep him from being put down by the government that, not incorrectly, thinks a multi-story-building-sized gorilla that is also very hungry and angry is a public safety hazard. The Government is more or less personified by Harvey Russell (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who appears to be having a very good time here), who is an FBI agent and on the side of law and order. Which means sometimes he’s working against Davis’s “save the giant gorilla” goals but he also is no fan of the Wyden company, which includes Claire, her doofy brother Brett (Jake Lacy) and her hired mercenary Burke (Joe Manganiello), who are all trying to get the giant animals back (or HIPPO | APRIL 19 - 25, 2018 | PAGE 56

Rampage

at least enough tissue to “weaponize” the genetic breakthroughs which, what?).

Some will say that a movie with a giant wolf who can glide, flying-squirrel-style, and whose size I could never really get a handle on, menacing the city of Chicago, which appeared to be capable of evacuating at least half its citizens in about 10 minutes, is not a movie that was ever going to be any good. I understand this point of view but I am willing to put up with a lot of nonsense to watch The Rock be funny and charming and punch and kick his way through an hour and 47 minutes. This movie didn’t have nearly enough fun (or funny), charm or frankly punching and kicking. At least, not enough punching and kicking that isn’t so green-screen ridiculous that it looks like anything.

“It’s a big arm, don’t fight it,” Davis says at one point to a guy he’s squeezing into unconsciousness. I realize it shouldn’t read as a cute moment, but it does and it’s one of relatively few that has that kind of mix of physical humor and humor based on Johnson’s delivery. Or any humor. This movie was always going to be terrible but I feel like more effort should have gone in to making it the jolly and entertaining kind of terrible that I believe Johnson is capable of and we, who would pay money for a The Rock vs. giant animals movie, would enjoy.

D+ Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence, action and destruction, brief language and crude gestures, according to the MPAA. Directed by Brad Peyton with a screenplay

by Ryan Engle and Carlton Cruse & Ryan J. Condal and Adam Sztkykiel, Rampage is an hour and 47 minutes long and distributed by New Line Cinema.

Isle of Dogs (PG-13)

Hyperarticulate dogs bemoan their banishment in Isle of Dogs, a beautiful Wes Anderson-y stop-motion animated movie from director Wes Anderson.

If you play a spot-the-Wes-Andersonism (Symmetry! Talkiness! Narration!) drinking game you will be too drunk to walk out of the theater before the halfway mark.

The ancient struggle between cats and dogs (and their respective human advocates) continues in Megasaki City in Japan, where Mayor Kobayashi (voice of Kunichi Nomura) has sent all dogs to the deserted Trash Island in an attempt to stop the spread of dog flu and snout fever, illnesses afflicting many of the city’s dog population that threaten to jump into humans. Once wellcared for pets, dogs like Rex (voice of Edward Norton), Duke (voice of Jeff Goldblum), Boss (voice of Bill Murray) and King (voice of Bob Balaban) now fend for themselves, forming packs for protection and to improve their chances of scoring some of the tastier garbage that is dumped on the island.

Then Atari (voice of Koyu Rankin), whom the dogs call “the little pilot,” crashes a small plane on the island. Perhaps because he is a 12-year-old boy and, as Nutmeg (voice of Scarlett Johansson) points out, dogs love those or perhaps because he is the only owner who has attempted to rescue a dog from Trash Island, the dogs decide to help him in his quest to find Spots, the dog who was his only friend. Atari is the nephew of the mayor and has been living with him since his parents died. He clearly loves Spots, but this fact alone doesn’t move Chief (voice of Bryan Cranston), who was a stray and a biter before coming to Trash Island and doesn’t have a high opinion of the master-dog relationship.

The dogs here are beautifully rendered, with individual bits of fur capable of movement or matting when dirty or fluffing when clean. Eyes can fill with tears and facial expressions match emotions. The dogs are far more realistic-looking than the people, though none are so uncanny valley-ish as to pull you out of the fairy tale-like story.

This style of animation also creates a depth and tactile quality to the other things in

the scene — the landscape, the dog biscuits. And of course, nobody knows how to arrange a scene for maximum visual effect like Anderson, who sets each scene like he’s arranged toy soldiers in front of a dollhouse.

Of course, all the petit-fours-in-music-box miniature perfection is very self-conscious, more so, it seemed to me, than in previous movies (though it’s been a while since I’ve seen a Wes Anderson movie). In the hierarchy of the movie, all these perfect visuals feel very much on top with characters and story considerably below. Energy and liveliness feel like they’re at the very bottom of this movie’s concerns. Even in the movie’s final 20 or so minutes, as the action ramps up, there always felt like a kind of emotional distance from the audience — like the difference between playing Star Wars with action figures and playing Star Wars by being one of the characters yourself.

Isle of Dogs is a calm, contemplative story about a boy’s love for his dog. Other than Anderson fans, however, I’m not quite sure who this movie, rated PG-13 and as frequently short on excitement as it is long on visuals, is really for. B Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and some violent images, according to the MPAA. Directed by Wes Anderson with a screenplay by Wes Anderson, Isle of Dogs is an hour and 41 minutes long and distributed by Fox Searchlight.

Beirut (R)

An American negotiator returns to the war ravaged city where he lost his wife in Beirut, a bleak suspense thriller starring Jon Hamm.

When we first meet Mason Skiles (Hamm), he’s a happy man of US government employment wining and dining a group of friends and officials at his lovely home in Beirut in 1972. He and his equally lovely wife Nadia (Leila Bekhti) are semiadopting a tweenage Palestinian refugee Karim and they and he affectionately brag about his academic accomplishments while he serves canapes and Mason expositions about the state of affairs in Beirut.

A friend with the CIA, Cal Riley (Mark Pellegrino), shows up to tell Mason that he needs to take Karim into custody. As it turns out, Karim’s brother is connected to the murder of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. Who exactly is taking Karim is unclear — the CIA? Mossad? — but before the arrest takes place, men with his brother’s group storm into Mason’s house. They grab Karim and, before they leave, Nadia is shot and killed.

A decade later, Mason is a heavy drinking negotiator who mostly works on striking bargains between unions and management for relatively small companies in New England. A man approaches him with an offer from mutual friends: Here is money, a ticket

necessarily going to fix his own crummy life. For the character, this singular motivation actually makes his ability to negotiate stronger — he isn’t interested in the rest of the web of alliances and feuds that make daily intelligence work and politics in the city so fraught. Hamm is good at playing people who are past caring about most things. But this isn’t a Don Draper variant — Mason’s inner bleakness comes not from selfishness and deep insecurity but from having had his life blown apart and being unable to move forward. Likewise, this mission — saving Cal or confirming he’s been killed — is the only real end goal of the movie. I left feeling like I’d seen a bit into one perspective on Beirut in the early 1980s but not exactly learned anything.

Which might be fine — I’m not sure a “and here’s the grand theory of all Middle East conflict” approach would be interesting or even all that tolerable.

The movie’s action — and this is an action movie to some degree — is well choreographed to fit with Mason as its

central character. He isn’t Jason Bourning himself through rubble but he is willing to take risks and the movie gives him a believable amount of danger to face.

In some ways, Beirut just sort of ends, with some real-world news footage tacked on that I think is supposed to make us feel something, though frankly I was never really sure what this movie wanted us to feel or if it was trying to get us to pick sides or draw some wider conclusions. In the end, the movie is at its best when its wreck of a hero is trying to do his best with what caring he has left. It might not sound like enough to sustain an entire movie — and maybe the movie does feel like it’s missing a steadying core — but whole peak TV series have been built on essentially this. B Rated R for language, some violence and a brief nude scene, according to the MPAA. Directed by Brad Anderson with a screenplay by Tony Gilroy, Beirut is an hour and 49 minutes long and distributed

by Bleeker Street.

and a passport to return to Beirut that night.

The official story is that Mason will be a replacement speaker at the American University, but he knows he’s being ordered by the government to handle some trouble.

When he arrives, he learns that Cal has been kidnapped and the kidnappers have specifically asked for him to negotiate a trade. Mason’s handler is Sandy Crowder (Rosamund Pike), a coworker of Cal’s.

Also working on the situation are Donald Gaines (Dean Norris) and Gary Ruzak (Shea Whigham), men Mason seems to instantly distrust. He knows that for the CIA, the main goal is not necessarily getting Cal back but keeping him from talking about all the intelligence operations he knows about.

For a movie with so much fraught context and so much resonance to modern Middle East turmoil, Beirut actually feels pretty single-minded. Mason’s goal is to save his friend and the movie’s goal is to watch him try to do it — that’s it. He can’t make Beirut a better place, he’s not even

Five years of funny at Shaskeen

• Coming home: Though he relocated to Nashville a few years back, Tom Dixon heads back as temperatures rise for a few shows.

A one-week run kicks off with an acoustic performance, followed by a big showcase in Salisbury Beach that includes a bevy of regional country music talent. Dixon will be back in July for another batch of appearances.

Go Thursday, April 19, 8:30 p.m., Hen House Sports Bar & Grill, 85 S Main St, Newton. See tomdixonmusic.com.

• Soul power: Anyone bummed about missing Janis Joplin in her heyday should check out Julie Rhodes. The raw force of her singing is a wonder to behold; her energy level seems to build with each note – check out her scorching cover of Etta James’ “I’d Rather Go Blind” for proof. Rhodes appears with New Jersey power duo Dharmaoul. Go Friday, April 20, 8 p.m., Riverwalk Cafe, 35 Railroad Square, Nashua. Tickets $10 ($13/door) at riverwalknashua.com.

• Blues return: Though Gracie Curran and the High Falutin’ Band made its mark in New England, the taut R&B combo was destined to eventually head south. After winning a Boston Music Award for Blues Artist of the Year in 2015, they relocated to Memphis, where they’re the house band at Beale Street’s Rum Boogie Cafe and hard at work on a new album.

Go Saturday, April 21, 8 p.m., Pitman’s Freight Room, 94 New Salem St., Laconia. Tickets are $20 ($25/door) at pitmansfreightroom.com.

• Folk on: After a decade-long hiatus, The Mammals are back, just in time for the current times. With original members Mike Merenda and Ruth Unger (who played as the duo Mike+Ruthy in the intervening years) and Tao Rodriguez-Seeger (Pete Seeger’s grandson), they’re a modern folk dynamo, trying to change the world through music.

Check out the pro-solar “Sunshiner” for proof. Go Sunday, April 22, 7 p.m., Word Barn, 66 Newfields Road, Exeter. Tickets $20 at thewordbarn.com.

• Big sound: Minnesota brother duo Remo Drive named their debut album Greatest Hits, but it wasn’t bravado behind the title. Rather, it reflected four years of finding a path in the alt rock landscape, taking cues from bands like American Football and The Promise Ring. “In the end,” said band member Erik Paulson, “it’s always going to be about loud guitars and big drums.” Go Wednesday, April 25, 8 p.m., 3S Artspace, 319 Vaughan St., Portsmouth. Tickets $12 at 3sarts.org.

It’s Wednesday, and there’s laughter in downtown Manchester at the city’s weekly version of Catch A Rising Star, a famous NYC standup spot back in the day. Joyelle Nicole Johnson, fresh off the Late Night With Seth Meyers set, jokes about dating and her roommate’s poor attempt at being a professional dominatrix. “Open mike-level,” she says. “No dungeon, no clientele.”

Before her, feature comic Tawanada Gona challenged the notion of white supremacy. “You’re not the master race,” Gona said. “White people invented jogging, yet they still keep losing marathons.”

Five years ago, comics Nick Lavallee and Dave Carter took a night previously marked by sign-up sheets and five-minute sets and changed the format to booking named comics, talent often found in big-city rooms. From those modest beginnings, the back bar of the Shaskeen is now packed most Wednesdays.

The only thing it has in common with the old open mike is that the shows are still free, save for the infrequent ticketed event. That’s possible for a couple of reasons. First, midweek rates are lower than weekends. Also, Lavallee offers his Manchester home as a kind of comedy Airbnb, often holding popup shows in his basement.

“We have been very consistent for the past five years — we only take off the night before Thanksgiving — and this was the first year we ever had to cancel because of the weather,” Lavallee said recently. “Over 250 shows ... the comics that come through that are L.A.- or New York-based tell their friends about it, and they tell their friends. They know the pay is fair. Word of mouth is really good with comics, and the regulars who see it.”

There have been many highlights.

Both Carter and Lavallee point to having Doug Stanhope play a room so packed that chairs had to be removed, turning the club into a comedy mosh pit.

“That show sold out in seconds,” Carter said. “It was pretty amazing.”

For Lavallee, it was a tie between Stanhope and Kyle Kinane, a comic who’s done several Comedy Central specials.

“Each has their own distinct fan base

and draws,” Lavallee said. “I personally love the two of them as comics, and it was cool to host them in our little room.”

More satisfying is seeing budding talents blossom, like the comic who started with short sets, did her first headlining spot at the club, and last year became a writer on Saturday Night Live. “Watching Sam Jay become Sam Jay is for sure one of the best moments,” Lavallee said. “From 5 then 10 then 12 then 15 minutes ... turning into the beast that she’s become.”

Other great moments include the Bernie vs. Trump mock debate between Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian, held the night before the New Hampshire primary.

“We had world news outlets stop in for that one; it was insane,” Carter said.

The solo set Adomian did a few months prior was tops for Lavallee.

“He got a standing ovation and an encore — he came out and did another 12 minutes, “ he said. “That’s never happened before or since. Hands down No. 1, my personal favorite.”

The Shaskeen’s success is mirrored by the industry, which has led to a few growing pains. “Comedy right now is very cool,” Lavallee said. “For a while it felt like punk rock ... you had to be in the know. Now, there are a lot more people doing it and comics have gotten better. The guest spots can feature a closer, so it’s a bigger pool.”

As a result, the format will be changing this summer. Up to now, each show has one headliner, a feature comic and an undercard of five minute sets curated by the two promoters.

“We’re probably going to move to three paid comics doing longer sets, with one unpaid guest spot doing a short set,” Lavallee said. “I think that’s where these five years have led us.”

The fifth anniversary will close out with a ticketed show on April 25 headlined by Matthew Broussaard, veteran of Conan and Comedy Central; Lavallee will feature.

Carter stopped doing standup a while back, but as always he’ll kick the night off with a welcome to the audience, a few ground rules and an admonition to have a great time.

Both are pleased and proud to offer a haven for comics Lavallee calls “some-

where between alt and club,” though he bristles at that term.

“People hear ‘alt’ and think, ‘is that like a prop comic who might have done a semester at Harvard?’ No, this is people from different walks of life with unique circumstances and make their stories seem very relatable to your average New England person. To me, that’s really unique.”

It’s also a satisfying endeavor.

“It’s very rare to have a show that for the most part is free and we’re able to pay comedians,” Lavallee said. “I’m at a fortunate place in my life to give them a place to stay, and as long as people keep coming out and we’ve got great comics that trust in my ability to promote a show, we’re gonna keep on doing it.”

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Landlord woes

On Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, a home rental agreement took an X-rated turn when Leah Bassett, artist and longtime resident of Aquinnah, unknowingly leased her home to an employee of Mile High Distribution Inc., a pornography production company. In September 2014, the Boston Globe reported, Joshua Spafford approached Bassett about renting her home from October through May 2015. In March 2015, Spafford informed Bassett he had left the house because he was fired, prompting Bassett to ask her parents to stop by and check it out. They were “shocked by the deplorable state of condition in which they found their daughter’s personal residence,” according to court documents. As “circumstances evolved,” Bassett began reviewing internet sites maintained by Mile High, which “publicly boasted about their porn shoots on chic and tony Martha’s Vineyard.” Bassett filed suit in late March in U.S. District Court, alleging the sites featured photos showing her home, artwork and furnishings, “utilizing nearly every room of her home” including scenes on top of her dining room table, sofas and in her laundry room. Defense lawyer Stephen A. Roach said the suit “arose out of a basic landlord-tenant dispute.”

Compelling explanation

Fort Pierce, Florida, police pulled over a car on March 21 after observing it swerving down the roadway. As they approached, they smelled marijuana, and during the ensuing search, passenger Kennecia Posey, 26, was shocked when police found two bags in her purse: one containing marijuana, the other cocaine. WPLG TV reported that Posey admitted the marijuana was hers, but told officers: “I don’t know anything about any cocaine. It’s a windy day. It must have flown through the window and into my purse.” Posey was charged with felony possession of cocaine and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.

Questionable judgment

On March 20, the U.S. Marine Corps fired Navy Cpt. Loften Thornton, serving as a chaplain for the Marine Forces Reserve in New Orleans, after Thornton was captured on video having sex with a woman on the street in front of the Crown & Anchor Pub, according to USA Today. Marine Reserve spokesman Lt. Col. Ted Wong said only that Thornton had been fired for “loss of trust and confidence.” According to the Navy’s strategic plan for religious ministry, chaplains “provide a source of comfort and refuge” to service members, which Thornton had apparently extended to members of the general public.

Dangerous food

Some people don’t like ham. When Beverly Burrough Harrison, 62, received a gift of ham from her family on Feb. 12, she waited until they left, then set it on fire and threw it in a trash can at the Bomar Inn in Athens, Alabama, where she was living. As smoke filled the room, AL.com reported, Harrison took her dog and left without alerting anyone to the fire. As a result, she was spared from being a victim of the ham bomb that blew out the front wall of the room when a can of butane fuel was ignited. Harrison was held at the Limestone County Jail on a felony arson charge and could face life in prison if convicted.

Failure to communicate

Things went from bad to worse for soccer player Sanchez Watt during a match in Hertfordshire, England, on March 6. Awarded a yellow card, Watt was asked his name by referee Dean Hulme, who mistook “Watt” for “What.” As Watt repeated his name over and over, the referee became perturbed and changed the yellow card to red for dissent, BBC Sport reported. Hulme rescinded the card when someone explained the mixup. “I think everybody found it amusing afterwards, including the referee,” said team chairman Dave Boggins. “He was very apologetic.”

Our weird addiction

On March 6, Royal Canadian Mounted Police participating in an awareness campaign set up several large electronic signs in North Vancouver, British Columbia, that warned drivers: “POLICE AHEAD — STAY OFF YOUR PHONE.” Despite that, within just two hours, officers ticketed 89 drivers, 74

of them for distracted driving, which results in a $368 fine, plus a $175 penalty payment on a first offense. “It is evident there is still more education and enforcement needed to make our roads safer,” remarked Cpl. Richard De Jong to CTV News.

Disappointing

Organizers of the Big Cheese Festival in Brighton, England, on March 3 were forced to offer refunds to patrons after the event failed on several levels: 1. The festival ran out of cheese. 2. The promised “craft” beer was Bud Light and Stella Artois. 3. The wet weather prompted some to call the event #BigMudFestival and prevented some cheese-mongers and entertainment acts from making it to the site. “Sadly, due to this, a few compromises had to be made,” festival organizers said. The BBC reported the festival has offered halfprice tickets to next year’s event for anyone who bought a ticket this year.

Unclear on the concept

Jonathan Rivera, 25, of Hartford, Connecticut, dutifully appeared in Hartford Superior Court March 7 to answer charges of stealing a car on Feb. 17. While he waited his turn, the Hartford Courant reported, parking authority agents outside the courthouse spotted a 2014 Subaru Legacy with license plates that had been reported as stolen. The car itself had also been stolen from Newington, Connecticut. Police waited for the driver to return and arrested Rivera as he started to drive away in the Subaru. He was charged with seconddegree larceny and taking a car without the owner’s permission.
