Requiring work to receive government benefits continues to be a controversial idea. Some in New Hampshire government are looking at requiring able-bodied people to work in some capacity if they receive Medicaid benefits.

The point of these sorts of requirements is to make sure that taking these benefits has a cost to you because they cost society.

The goal of government benefits is to provide a basic standard of living or social safety net, and its origins go back as far as organized human history. There are both practical and moral reasons we choose to do this just as those who favor From Manchester’s Original a work requirement have moral and pracAuto Glass Company tical reasons. On the moral side it strikes many as reasonable that someone who can work should support themselves or support society in exchange for some measure of benefits. On a practical level having folks work gives them additional tools to find private sector work and get off government benefits.

Though we haven’t always succeeded, most government programs are intended to create a hand up to help people get off those benefits. And that’s where we need more focus.

Work requirements are fine as long as the result is helping people who can work work. Many times, however, we don’t fully understand what impedes people from working. It could be caring for a relative, caring for children, lack of reliable transportation, lack of reliable housing, substance abuse, mental illness, learning disabilities and other impediments that aren’t necessarily apparent.

A good example of this is New Hampshire’s program to help supplement day care costs. This program, which almost always has a waiting list, should be a funding priority. It allows parents to get out and work and by its nature can only be used for a few years by working parents. That is truly a hand up. Providing working families with health care and dental care can also be a hand up and not a handout. A small health issue can easily derail a job.

The issue may be less about requiring people to work than making sure they can work and creating clear program goals to help them achieve that. Though it can get overlooked, most people like to work.

People like to earn what they have — to be independent and to contribute.

Let work requirements be an afterthought of a policy built around getting people the resources they need to work.

NEWS & NOTES

Contamination study

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen announced in a press release that a major groundwater contamination site in New Hampshire will be the model test site for a national study aimed at linking perfluorochemicals to human health effects.

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry will be conducting the study of the PFC contamination site at Pease International Tradeport. According to the announcement, the study will refine the agency’s collection methods and analyses and streamline the implementation process before they roll out the multi-site study nationwide. In 2014, Portsmouth shut down a major well serving Pease customers and residents, including a day care center, which had elevated levels of PFCs called PFAS. The chemical was found at levels over 12 times higher than the health standard established by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Conversion therapy ban

A bill banning gay conversion therapy on minors was sent to the governor’s desk by lawmakers. The AP reported the House agreed to changes made to the bill by senators. Gov. Chris Sununu, a Republican, said he supports the ban. Proponents say gay conversion therapy does more harm than good to a minor’s mental health.

A similar bill failed to pass two years ago.

Death penalty

Another bill approved by lawmakers in the House and Senate would repeal the state’s death penalty. Gov. Chris Sununu has

vowed to veto the measure, citing support for the death penalty by members of law enforcement.

But NHPR reported a number of former members of law enforcement spoke out recently at a press conference, calling on the governor to sign the bill. Among those who spoke in support of the bill was Paul Lutz, a lifelong Republican and 30-year veteran of law enforcement. He said the state would save money from prosecuting costly death penalty cases, according to the story.

Recovery centers

Recovery centers across the state are calling for more state funding for fear of shutting down.

Eight organizations representing 10 centers sent a joint letter to the governor and health commissioner about their concerns last month, which led to a recent meeting with state officials. NHPR reported the centers asked the state to increase its support from $1.5 million to $2 million. Without an increase in funding, they foresee budget cuts and possible closures because demand for their services is increasing while funds aren’t keeping pace.

Medicaid expansion

Lawmakers have finalized a bill to reauthorize the state’s expanded Medicaid program and sent it to the governor to be signed. The AP reported the Senate voted 16 to 6 to approve minor changes made by the House. Gov. Chris Sununu supports the bill, which would ensure over 50,000 low-income residents will continue to receive health care coverage for the next five-year authorization period.

The proposed budget for Concord would raise property taxes by about 4 percent, the Concord Monitor reported. The budget for 2019 would be an increase of $3.2 million in spending, a total of $65 million.

The bill funds the state’s obligation through the Alcohol Fund, to which the state’s hospitals have agreed to contribute $50 million over that period. For the first time, benefits will be linked to work and community engagement requirements for able-bodied adults.

CONCORD

Voting bills

Gov. Chris Sununu plans to ask the New Hampshire Supreme Court to weigh in on a number of voting regulation bills, NHPR reported. A new bill, HB 1264, has garnered opposition among Democrats for redefining residency in a way that opponents say disenfranchises potential voters. Proponents say the bill serves to clarify eligibility requirements. But some don’t expect the Supreme Court to make a decision on this bill, because it’s already embroiled in ongoing lawsuits over another voter bill from the previous session, SB 3. That bill required voters who registered within 30 days of election day to demonstrate residency.

FATHER OF VIDEO GAMES

U.S. Department of Education Goffstown Secretary Betsy DeVos was in Atkinson on May 14 as keynote speaker at a Republican fundraiser. According to a press release, tickets for the second annual Spring to Victory Dinner were $125.

Merrimack

Amherst Milford Bats returned to James Mastricola Upper Elementary School in Merrimack after $600,000 in repairs and cleanup of bat feces, the Telegraph of Nashua reported. Two bats were found in two different rooms and Critter Control was called into deal with the problem.

Ralph Baer, the late Manchester resident and inventor of home video games, will be granted the honor of a posthumous lifetime achievement award by the New Hampshire High Tech Council. According to a press release, Baer will be recognized for his pioneering contributions to the modern video game industry. He was the man behind Pong on the Magnavox Odyssey home system and other toys like Simon. Baer died in 2014 at the age of 92. His son Mark will accept the award, at the 30th anniversary of the NHHTC’s Entrepreneur of the Year Awards ceremony on Wednesday, June 13.

MANCHESTER

Derry

Londonderry Residents in Nashua will be able to weigh in on a proposed NASHUA$262 million budget on Thursday, May 17. The Telegraph of Nashua reported the 2018 budget was supplemented with $800,000 in unplanned revenues.

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT

The New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union, along with civil liberties groups in Maine and Vermont, have sued the federal government for records related to immigration enforcement, the AP reported. The groups want to understand what has changed since President Trump took office but the groups say federal immigration enforcement agencies have not complied with Freedom of Information Act requests for records of raids, arrests and detentions. The complaint alleges that immigration arrests have increased 50 percent in New England states, since Trump took office. That’s compared to a 38-percent increase nationally.

Salem Police announced on their Facebook page that a peregrine falcon was found dead by a homeowner at 29 Twinbrook Ave. The tagged bird was born in a well-known Manchester nest in 2012.

Police believe the falcon was shot by a .22 caliber round, but no bullet or casing was recovered at the scene. Images of the dead bird show a wound in the center of its underbelly. It’s believed the bird was perched on a tree near the property when it was shot.

While peregrine falcons are no longer on the endangered list, they are still protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which makes killing them a federal offense, according to police.

Salem police hope to get help from the public in finding the perpetrator. Members of the public can call 890-2390 if they have any leads.

The bird

120799

The falcon was well-known to local birder Steve Mirick.

“I like to think they’re my babies. But now one of my babies is dead,” Mirick said.

He was a male, with tag Black/Green 72/ AB — the closest thing he has to a name — and he was born at the nest on top of the Brady Sullivan Tower in Manchester, where a webcam has been set up to view the birds for years.

Audubon biologists tag the birds when they’re young as a means of tracking their movements — with the help of area birders and photographers — in adulthood, which provides them with valuable scientific data.

Chris Martin, a raptor biologist at the New Hampshire Audubon, said the bird’s parents used the nest for a time but moved on several years ago. The pair nesting there now is a different couple.

But webcam viewers would have been able to watch as 72/AB hatched and grew up.

There are photos of the bird when he was a fluffy juvenile, taken by local wildlife photographer Peter Gray, when the bird was first tagged.

After he fledged, the falcon wasn’t heard from for some time. But about two years after he was born, Mirick found him nesting in northern Massachusetts.

“I first kind of discovered the bird in Haverhill … in 2014,” Mirick said.

The falcon had started a family of his own the year after. The first nest Mirick was aware of was located on the ledge of an old coppertop dentist building on River Street.

That year, he raised two offspring.

Then, in 2016, 72/AB returned to nest at a different location in Haverhill, under the Basiliere Bridge over the Merrimack River. He and his mate had about three or four young that year.

He’s photographed in December 2017, perched atop a weathervane with his mate in downtown Haverhill, but then the falcon goes off Mirick’s radar.

Mirick said he doesn’t think they successfully nested that year, and it’s unclear whether they found a new nest this year.

The female’s location is unknown.

“We don’t know whether she nested or not this year. It’s possible she’s on a nest right now,” Mirick said.

During the falcon’s time in Haverhill, Mirick said, it’s unlikely the bird traveled far outside of Essex County to hunt for food. But Salem isn’t particularly far from Haverhill.

According to the New Hampshire Audubon, there have been 51 color-banded peregrine falcon chicks to fledge from the Brady Sullivan Tower nest since 2001.

Since then, 24 of them have been encountered at least once (12 dead, 12 alive) and at least six were confirmed to be mating in the New England area.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX New crisis center The nonprofit organization Building on Hope broke ground on a new crisis center in Concord on Friday, May 11. According to a press release, the Crisis Center of Central New Hampshire was selected as Building on Hope’s 2018 renovation project. The crisis center works with survivors of domestic and sexual violence. It’s the only agency in Merrimack County working exclusively with that population. Sen. Maggie Hassan and Concord Mayor Jim Bouley attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Volunteers with Building on Hope will work around the clock to finish construction work by May 20.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The crisis center served 1,184 people in 2017 alone.

Officials warn of brush fire danger After a landowner caused a sizeable fire in Barrington, fire officials are warning residents about the dangers of causing brush fires. The AP reported firefighters from about half a dozen agencies responded to the eight-acre, three-alarm fire. Dry conditions and high winds increase the risk of fires. The landowner in Barrington didn’t have a burn permit when he started a fire that accidentally spread. Officials may fine him, according to the story.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Fireworks and poorly extinguished cigarettes have also been known to start fires.

New breast milk donation site New Hampshire has a new drop-off site for women to donate breast milk, NHPR reported. The site, the fourth in the state, is set up at Portsmouth Regional Hospital through a partnership with Mother’s Milk Bank Northeast, a nonprofit that provides donated human milk to babies in fragile health. Donors are screened, then the milk is processed and pasteurized and distributed to babies in hospitals throughout New England.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Other Mother’s Milk Bank Northeast donation sites are located at Cheshire Medical Center in Keene, Memorial Hospital in North Conway and Nini Bambini in Bedford.

Tool to measure New England cottontail numbers New England cottontail populations have been difficult to monitor due to the animal’s rarity and secretive nature, but University of New Hampshire scientists have developed a new method that could make the process easier, the AP reported. Scientists will be able to detect trends over time using DNA collected from the rabbit’s fecal pellets, which could help with conservation efforts. The method will be implemented at more than 30 managed sites within the species’ range.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: An endangered species in New Hampshire, the New England cottontail has lost more than 80 percent of its habitat to housing developments and farmland since 1960 and has been steadily declining in population.

QOL score: 81 Net change: +2 QOL this week: 83

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S LONGSHOTS

Rivals, coaches boors and Joe D. A busy week leads to comments on the following stories; News Item: Marchand makes fool of himself as Tampa Bay lick Bruins It was a move worthy of dyspeptic 1970s Yankees manager Billy Martin. Anything to win, no matter how vulgar the effort was to get under someone’s skin. Though I doubt even Martin would do what Brad Marchand somehow thought was a bright idea to get under the skin of Tampa Bay players by licking their neck or face. You’ve no doubt heard of his actions, but if not, yes, I did say licking. If you’re a Bruins fan and justify that, I suspect you’re a major hypocrite. Because if someone ever did that to any Bruins you’d be calling for his head and you’d be right.

If there was ever a move, outside of everything Bill Laimbeer did back in the day for similar reasons, to punch a guy’s lights out with no retribution from the league office, this was it. As Lakers coach Pat Riley once said after Laimbeer got sucker-punched one day, “dem gets what dem deserves.”

And the only bad thing is no one from Tampa Bay actually did it to the little jerk.

News Items: Return of rivalries brings back the good days My favorite line from the famous SoxYankees playoff game of 1978 came from Reggie Jackson when he said, “I hate to play you guys, but I love to play you guys,” while standing in the clubhouse doorway as Carlton Fisk and Jerry Remy came in to offer their congrats. It spoke to how the inspiring rivalry brought out the absolute best in each other. And despite their bitter loss, it was obvious they agreed. Flash forward — yikes — 40 years to last week when teams from the Bronx, Philly and Boston gave notice the dawn of the next great time for the Yankees-Red Sox and

long dormant 76ers-Celtics rivalries lies just ahead. Complain if you want about the bullpen, but I do remember no team doing more damage to Mariano Rivera than the Manny-Papi era Sox, so bullpen failings are part of the deal. Even with that, three entertaining games left the teams squared at 3-3 after six games. Ditto in Philly, where the Sixers lost the series four games to one to the Celtics, but it came via one blow-out, three down-to-the-wire games and one that was for the ages, making it a lot closer than it looked. With all four teams young, having major stars ready to collide and coming of age at the same time, the next chapters in Boston’s two greatest sports rivalries are about to be written.

News Item: As Stanton struggles, DiMaggio’s greatness comes to light Nice to see legendary Joe DiMaggio injected back into baseball conversations to dramatize just how bad Giancarlo Stanton’s early struggles were in striking out 20 times in his 43 Yankees at-bats. That was seven fewer than DiMaggio remarkably striking out just 13 times in his magical 1941 season. Though it should be noted Stanton still projects to hit 35 homers, so it could be Katie bar the door as the weather warms. But for now, the K’s are now 54 in 39 games, which already is a lot more than Joe D had in any of his 15 seasons, with the high-water mark 39 as a rookie in 1936! And even though the notion of K’s being a bad thing has diminished over time, the contrast is an illustration of the difference between baseball in the time of DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Stan Musial and today.

News Item: Stevens snubbed by coaches in Coach of the Year voting Don’t want to seem like a green teamer, but while there were a number of excellent candidates for NBA Coach of the Year, not enough to warrant Brad Stevens not getting even one vote from any of the other 29 coaches. Let’s examine a few who did

get votes.

Doc Rivers – Yes, L.A. had a slew of injuries, though not as bad as Boston, and none lost were the caliber of Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving. Yet he got one vote while winning 13 fewer games. Really?

Quin Snyder – Utah recovered nicely from losing its best player to free agency.

He also lost Rudy Gobert for 25 games, helped Ricky Rubio improve dramatically, got great returns on trusting rookie Donovan Mitchell from the jump and had to deal with a major trade deadline team shake-up.

But, while a major surprise out west, they won three fewer than in 2016-17 and that was seven fewer than Stevens. I’d also point out Snyder isn’t the only one who lost Hayward for the year. For him, it happened in July so at least he could plan for it. For Stevens not so much — he had to do it on the fly.

Dwayne Casey – the winner. Toronto improved by eight wins and took top seed in the East. Nice job. But it was done with a long together core, his top two stars missing just four games total and no one among the top 11 missing more than 12. So he did a tad above expectations.

Brad Stevens – 55 wins. Just four fewer than Toronto with his top two players missing 102 games and three others in the top 8 missing at least 20 each. Injuries that piled up so much he had to start Al Horford at point guard in one game. Then contrast winning 16 of their first 18 with 11 new players vs. the trouble Oak City had getting it together before hitting their stride after their shake-up this summer.

Or Miami before that with LeBron and Chris Bosh. So that seems pretty good to me. And, oh by the way, those two losses came immediately after his young team witnessed the gruesome Hayward injury in person. If that’s not a more formidable set of obstacles than Casey faced I don’t know what is.

Bedford takes down Exeter

Bragging Rights for Now Game of the Week: They went to Bedford as they stayed undefeated at 12-0 in NHIAA baseball with an 8-4 win over Exeter that dropped the latter to 11-2. The big blows were a two-run bomb by Grant Lavigne and a two-run double by Peyton Murray that pushed the Bulldogs out to a 6-0 lead after five innings.

Exeter rallied for four runs to tighten the gap to 6-4 after six, before B-town scored its last two runs on wild pitches.

Sports 101: Name the players in the alltime Top 5 of most homers hit against the Yankees.

Big Hit of the Week: The seventh-inning grand slam by Alyssa Gerardi that helped Central seal its 8-3 win over Memorial in softball action.

Good Week / Rough Week of the Week: Trinity and Windham softball will be linked for a while. They started the week with the Jaguars 34-0 mercy-rule loss behind an Abby Bedient and Amelia Williamson no-hitter and a 17-0 first-inning lead and ended it with a W-town 19-1 win on Friday. The good news is the Pioneers had wins over Lebanon and Hollis-Brookline between the big losses.

Diamond Double of the Week: Don’t expect the diamond teams at Goffstown to get an invitation to Lebanon any time soon after the drilling their teams got from G-town last week. It ended with 26 runs being scored and none allowed by Goffstown hitters and pitchers. The biggest damage came from Olivia Baldyga in softball as she no-hit the Red Raiders and struck out eight in a 14-0 win, while Nick Labrie had a three-hit day in a 12-0 thumping with the big blow being his first-inning grand slam.

Sports 101 Answer: Jimmy Foxx has the most ever homers vs. the Yankees with 70. That’s followed by Ted Williams with 62, Manny Ramirez with 55 and David Ortiz and Hank Greenberg next at 53.

Joe DiMaggio’s 1941 Season: Had the nation’s attention riveted to him as he hit in 56 straight games to the tune of .408 (91-223) with 15 homers and 55 runs batted. That, hitting .357, with 30 homers and 125 RBI and then the third-place Yanks zooming to clinching the pennant earlier and by the largest margin of any team in history, earned him the MVP over the .406-hitting (37 homers and 127 RBI) Ted Williams.

Ted Williams: Fourth-greatest hitter who ever lived, who actually out-hit DiMaggio during the famed 56-game streak, .412 to .408, and would’ve hit .419 in 1941 if like today, sac flies hadn’t been counted as at-bats.

Bill Laimbeer: Talented, but below-the-belt-hitting thug from the cheap-shot late ’80s Detroit Pistons. Occupies top spot, one rung above the Billy Martin-George Steinbrenner duo, on the list of greatest Boston Sports villains ever, best exemplified by Danny Ainge’s answer during a WEEI conversation about most-hated Bird-era Celtics opponents, “Oh, we all hated Laimbeer.”

Billy Martin: Caustic hard-drinking umpire-battling manager of the Yankees during the 1970s edition of the Sox-Yankees rivalry. Made his mark with first-place finishes with Minnesota, Detroit, N.Y., Oakland and nearly so with moribund Texas. But the acrimonious personality always led to the ax. In the end his relationship with the Boss was a caricature, as he became a sad joke being hired, fired and rehired five different times as Yankees skipper.

Manchester pond loop

Run a loop or 5 and end with an ice cream

The Run: James Porter, president of the Greater Manchester Running Club, recommends the Dorrs Pond Loop at Livingston Park (156 Hooksett Road, Manchester). After entering Livingston Park take your first right and park next to the pond house. Start by running clockwise on the sidewalk over the pond’s drainage bridge and follow the 10-foot-wide dirt path. After 0.6 miles, you can either take a hard right and follow the deck path over the marsh, or you can go straight and climb a small hill. The dirt path reconnects with the main trail in 0.1 miles. Follow the path another 0.3 miles over another deck pathway until you reach the sidewalk again, which will lead you back to the pond house.

Distance: 1.1 miles Difficulty: Easy/moderate. “It is mainly flat with a few gentle rises, but since it is a dirt path, there is the occasional rock or root to avoid,” Porter said.

What makes it great: “It is beautiful,” Porter said. “Lots of nature to take in, and in the spring you can see the turtles sunning themselves on the rocks … and the ducks in the river that feeds the pond.” The path also has a few smaller, single-track trails that branch off it.

One includes a yoga platform on the right side. Those with “adventure in their heart,” Porter said, can take a left after the pond house and venture off the main trail onto unmarked trails. “Grab an ice cream across the street at the Puritan when you are done,” he said. You can do the loop a few times to really earn that ice cream.

organized and suggests is the Rollins Park Loop, which begins and ends on the south end of Rollins Park.

The route starts by leaving the parking lot south on Bow Street and turning west to head right on Rockingham Street after about 0.2 miles. Continue west through the intersection of Rockingham and South streets, where it becomes Iron Works Road, just past where Cimo’s South End Deli is located. After another 0.4 miles, turn right on Birch Street, running north for 0.9 miles until you reach Clinton Street. The route then continues northeast on Clinton Street for 1.5 miles until you reach the point intersecting South Street, where Tucker’s is. Cross this intersection onto Broadway, then continue south until you are able to turn right back in to Rollins Park.

Distance: 3.2 miles Difficulty level: Easy What makes it great: Gould said the route is a nice easy loop that stays flat, while still having plenty to offer.

“You get some nature, some of the vibrant south end bustle, and there are plenty of sidewalks during the busier stretches of road,” he said.

West End Farm Trail run in Concord is 7.2 miles from end to end.

Queen City trail See birds, jump off a bridge or just run The Run: The Piscataquog River Trail (park at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, 1 Line Drive, Manchester) is also recommended by James Porter, president of the Greater Manchester Running Club. The paved 10-foot-wide trail connects the baseball stadium to the Goffstown Rail Trail.

Follow the river path to the right of the main entrance of the stadium south for 0.2 miles. Take a left and climb a moderate hill to the foot bridge that crosses the Merrimack River. Follow the path straight for 0.5 miles to the Second Street crossing, where there is a crosswalk light you can activate to cross safely. Follow for another 1.5 miles to the West Side Ice Arena. Turn around and retrace your steps back to the stadium.

Nashua loop

Hills, flats and some nice scenery

The run: Beth Whipple, a manager at Fleet Feet Sports in Nashua and board member of the Gate City Striders, organizes local routes for people training to run 5Ks, half-marathons and marathons. One route of about medium length and difficulty she constructed begins and ends outside the store at 4 Coliseum Ave. in Nashua.

The route picks up on Broad Street by looping around on Gusabel Avenue, then continues east on the Broad Street Parkway.

“It’s a big downhill, then goes into the mill area and through the Clocktower Place,” Whipple said. “Then it goes out to Factory Street, and takes a left onto Main Street.”

From Main Street, the route continues north for about four blocks until you reach the fork where Amherst and Concord streets intersect. Whipple said you bear right and take the gradual uphill on Concord Street and eventually through Greeley Park before taking a left on Hills Ferry Road. The run will continue through some residential neighborhoods crossing over first Manchester and then Watson streets before eventually bringing you out to Amherst Street. From there, turning on Troy Street, then Pinehill Avenue and then Sullivan Street will take you back to Broad Street going back toward the store, looped

Distance: 5 miles. To extend the route, cross the bridge after the West Side Ice Arena and continue straight onto the dirt Goffstown Rail Trail, which extends for another 5.5 miles.

Difficulty: Easy/moderate. Porter said there is only one hill to get up to the river.

What makes it great: “It has great views of the river and downtown,” Porter said. Runners pass numerous recreational fields as well as a birdhouse sanctuary.

“People may or may not jump off the bridge and do a cannonball run in the summer to cool off on a hot summer day,” he said.

back to where you came from.

Distance: 7.2 miles Difficulty level: Medium What makes it great: According to Whipple, the route contains sidewalks almost in its entirely, and features a relatively flat terrain with minimal turns.

“It’s got a nice mix of hills and flats, so people can recover,” she said. “It’s also got some quiet areas and some nice scenery as well to keep people distracted. I think people prefer a looped course, just because it’s easier to keep focused knowing that you’re going to come back the same way. … We try to keep it pretty straight so people don’t have to worry about getting lost.”

Capital City trail run From orchard to Audubon

The run: Concord residents Mike Schowalter and Katharine WoodmanMaynard manage a trail running group, which meets at a different trail in the Capital City every Wednesday at 6 p.m.

The group met for its first run of the season on May 2 and will continue to meet at trails usually through October, according to Woodman-Maynard.

One of the more easily accessible routes they recommend is the West End Farm trail; the seven-mile route connects Carter Hill Orchard on one end to the New Hampshire Audubon Center on the other, but also connects many intersecting routes with other trails along the way.

“It goes through a variety of terrains through the woods, and along some rivers and marshes,” Woodman-Maynard said.

The trail can be run from either end, with parking available at both end points, and is specifically marked all along the way, also passing Rossview Farm and Dimond Hill Farm.

“There are some really nice views at Carter Hill Orchard. There’s a raptor tower you can see, and then there’s donuts and apple picking in the fall, so it’s a cool place to go,” Woodman-Maynard said.

From Carter Hill Orchard, the West End Farm trail continues south for about two miles to District No. 5 road, then for 1.45 miles to Currier Road, 0.8 miles to

Hopkinton Road, 1.5 miles to the Interstate 89 underpass, and 1.45 miles to Silk Farm Road before reaching the Audubon. A few connectors along the way can also bring you to Swope Park, Winant Park and other nearby destinations.

Distance: 7.25 miles Difficulty level: Medium What makes it great: WoodmanMaynard said of the dozens of miles of trails available for running in Concord, the West End Farm trail is one of the easiest trails to follow because it is wellmarked, mostly flat and relatively linear.

“It’s probably the one people would be most comfortable with,” she said. “It’s a good one for new trail runners because it’s marked very specifically.”

10 more great runs As a member of She Runs This Town NH (a non-competitive running club for women that connects on Facebook and whose members meet up for runs all over the state), I posted a comment on the private Facebook group page asking fellow runners to share the routes they love to run the most.

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Head downtown and celebrate local art, music, food and business during these town festivals happening in Warner and Exeter on Saturday, May 19.

Spring into Warner

Spring into Warner, now in its 11th year, will feature local artists, musicians and farmers, with festivities on Main Street and around town.

“Warner has always had many creative people — painters, authors, musicians — and this is their opportunity to show off their work,” event coordinator Nancy Ladd said.

Artists including painters, illustrators, photographers, spinners, weavers and knitters will be demonstrating and selling their work. The Kearsarge Conservatory of Performing Arts will host a series of music and dance performances at the Town Hall, the Dobro Brothers will perform at 5 p.m. at the Jim Mitchell Park Amphitheatre, and other musicians will be playing throughout the day at various locations.

There will be interactive art activities for all ages hosted by Warner businesses, museums, the library, civic groups and school sports groups.

Meet Misty the Therapy Pony outside the New Hampshire Telephone Museum or cast your vote for the tastiest piece of literature during the Edible Books Contest at the Pillsbury Free Library before 1:30 p.m. The Warner Historical Society will have an exhibit featuring the paintings of well-known Warner artist, now deceased,

MainStreet Bookends will have an art and used book sale and a talk on the history of lilacs in New Hampshire at 1 p.m.

Lastly, Spring into Warner will also coincide with the first Warner Area Farmers Market of the season, held outside the Town Hall from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“It’s a great day to go downtown and see art in many forms,” Ladd said. “There’s something for everyone.”

Exeter Arts & Music Fest

The Exeter Arts & Music Fest returns for its second year with live music, artist vendors, local food and cultural exhibits.

Festivities kick off the evening before, Friday, May 18, with a Bandstand Blues Jam featuring the Max Sullivan Group on

22 Theater

the downtown gazebo from 5 to 7 p.m., followed by The Midnight Wrens performing at the Town Hall at 7:30 p.m.

On Saturday, there will be live music at two locations. The Independence Stage on the lawn of the American Independence Museum will feature David Corson at 10 a.m., Kenny Brothers at 11 a.m., Red Tail Hawk at 12:15 p.m., Qwill at 1:30 p.m. and Cold Engines at 2:45 p.m. The Singer/Songwriter Tent in Swasey Parkway will feature a different singer-songwriter on the hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., including Lizzie & Peter, Artty Francoeur, Elijah Clark, Kate McDougal, Dan Searl and Maurice Wynn, respectively.

tor of Town Exeter Arts and Music, which hosts the event. “They like it because the focus is on arts and music. They aren’t just an add-on or a footnote to what’s happening; they’re the focal point.”

Also in Swasey Parkway, there will be local food vendors and about 30 artists and craftspeople selling handmade items like fine art, pottery, blown glass, jewelry, woodwork and more. Exeter-based historical reenactment and living history group Drauger Vindlands will portray the combat and culture of the Viking age, a sculptor will have some of his work on display and two artists will be doing live graffiti-style art.

Attendees can contribute to a large freestyle mural or try painting rocks for Exeter’s painted rock initiative, which invites people to hide and find painted rocks around town. There will also be face painting, henna tattoos, a free outdoor yoga session and interactive art activities for kids.

“We want this to be a celebration of New Hampshire’s arts and talent,” Ruffner said.

“That’s our initiative, and we hope that people will go and support the creatives in their own communities.”

• Freaky production: The Actors’ Circle Theatre presents the New England premiere of Futureproof at The Peterborough Players (55 Hadley Road, Peterborough) May 17 through May 20. The play, written by Irish playwright Lynda Radley, centers on Riley’s Odditorium, a freak show with characters such as the “bearded, armless lady,” “a human mermaid” and “Tiny, the world’s fattest man,” according to the cast list. Each is faced with a personal quandary when presented with an opportunity to eliminate their physical “oddities” and become more normal. “I’m drawn to this play because of how it speaks to achieving love of one’s self and one’s individuality,” director Mia Moravis said in a press release. “Some of the characters are tempted by the chance to finally fit in, though all of them are wary — if each’s ‘peculiarity’ is removed, will their individuality be next?” Showtimes are Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.

Concord Kiwanis Spring Fair returns to Concord

By Angie Sykeny

You don’t have to wait until summer for Ferris wheels and fried dough. The Kiwanis Club of Concord will host its 63rd annual Spring Fair from Thursday, May 17, through Sunday, May 20, outside the Everett Arena in Concord, featuring all the traditional amusement rides, midway games and fair fare, and even some roller derby.

“In our general area, I can’t think of another carnival that happens before the Hopkinton and Lancaster fairs,” said Ken Georgevits, long-standing member and immediate past president of Concord Kiwanis. “We’ve had snow up until recent63rd annual Concord Kiwanis Spring Fair Where: Outside the Everett Arena, 15 Loudon Road, Concord When: Thursday, May 17, through Sunday, May 20.

If the weather is good, Georgevits said, the fair draws around 10,000 people over the course of the weekend and raises between $12,000 and $14,000.

“If you’ve never been, come check it out, even if you just come for the people-watching,” he said. “It’s something to do that doesn’t involve alcohol or spending a lot of money on going out to dinner.

It’s local, it’s free to get in, it’s fun for all ages, so why not?”

My roses are waking up, and starting to show leaf buds along their stems. This is a good time to cut back dead stems, which will stimulate new growth, and shape your roses.

When I was a boy, roses were fussy. My parents bought a house in June, when all the roses were in bloom. Those roses, I imagine, helped clinch the deal. But within a few years they were gone. Diseases, bugs and beetles had ravaged them. We didn’t spray with toxic chemicals, and many of those roses depended on toxic sprays, I suppose.

Now breeders have created roses that rarely get black spot and are not very attractive to rose chafers and Japanese beetles because they don’t have a strong floral scent. Sure, Japanese beetles sometimes find my bodacious pink or red blossoms, but I just pull off the beetles and drop them in soapy water.

My favorite series of roses are the Knockout roses. These beauties start blooming in June, and continue to produce blossoms until hard frost. It’s not unusual for my plants to be blooming at Halloween. There are others that are probably just as good, so ask at your local family-owned garden center. At Last, a Proven Winner rose, is another favorite of mine, in part because it is lightly fragrant, too.

On a recent sunny afternoon I took my pruning shears and went outdoors to give my roses a haircut. Many stems were dead near their tips, and a few canes were dead all the way back to the ground. I took time to really look at the stems of the roses. What I wanted to do was remove the dead material back to the highest bud that was alive and active — and outward facing. I looked for signs of life, which were buds starting to produce leaves.

Dead stems are generally brown, and live stems are green or reddish.

How should you make your cut? On an angle, just a little above a bud. Look at the piece you cut off. If it is brown all the way through, you are looking at dead wood. You should cut lower down the stem until you see a layer of green just beneath the bark.

If you had a stem or two last year that grew more vigorously than the others, you may wish to cut them back past the first green bud.

What I want is a well-balanced plant, not a lopsided plant, or one with a very tall leader. Some rosarians (rose-obsessed gardeners) like to cut back most stems to within 6 inches of the ground, and let the entire bush grow up each year from the ground.

Some roses bloom on old wood. Rugosa or beach roses are like that, as well as some once-a-season old-fashioned roses. Those are best pruned for shape of the bush after blooming, but dead wood can be taken out now.

Cut back until you see green beneath the outer bark of the PeeGee hydrangea. Photo by Henry Homeyer.

This summer you will want to snip off spent blossoms. After blooming, cut back the stem to a mature leaf cluster that has five or seven leaves. Cutting back to clusters of only three leaves won’t stimulate the rose to re-bloom.

A word on fertilizing. I am not keen on fertilizing roses, as it tends to make them grow too fast. Often fast growth is weak, with stems that flop. But if you feel you need to fertilize, do so after the first flush of blossoms, not now. Re-blooming roses like the Knockouts tend to re-bloom every 5 to 6 weeks I admit to being negligent when it comes to pruning back my PeeGee hydrangea, so this year I have given it a good hard prune.

It’s best to do while the plant is still dormant, or just waking up. I cut last year’s stems that blossomed back to big, fat older stems. These hydrangeas bloom on new wood, and pruning now will stimulate new growth — and lots of blossoms. The PeeGee is a shrub, but can get too tall and wide. When pruning, you will find some stems that are dead near their tips.

Cut those back until you see a layer of green beneath the bark. That indicates that it is alive there. As with roses, always cut back to just above a bud, or to a bigger branch.

Remove any spindly, weak branches, or any that aim back into the middle of the plant.

If you have branches that have the potential to poke someone in the eye, cut them back!

Do not hesitate to prune your hydrangeas hard. Decide what size plant works best in the space you have, and prune until you have reached the right size. You won’t kill your plant by pruning. Opening up the middle of a shrub allows more sunlight to reach the leaves, which helps prevent fungal diseases.

Lilacs will be blooming soon, so you may want to wait until after they bloom to prune them. Pruning now just means that you will have fewer blossoms this spring. But if you want to help your lilacs to have better blossoms next year, spread some limestone or wood ashes in a circle around them. Lilacs like neutral or slightly alkaline soil, and limestone helps to achieve that.

Pruning, to me, is like sculpting. Done well, it creates plants that are gorgeous — even when they are not in bloom.

Dear Donna, I have a circa late 1930s or early ’40s set of china. It is a full service for 12. The stamp reads King Fine China, and it is trimmed in 22-karat gold. I’m trying to assign an approximate value and determine if it is best moved to a collectibles shop, or if it is destined for consignment.

Any insights you could provide would be most helpful.

John Dear John, I am sorry, but I can’t be of much help for you. Your dishes are a tough sale in today’s world. With the 24-karat gold not suitable for microwaves, that was about the end for them. They were very popular in the 1940s.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Is there really a difference in wiper blades?

Dear Car Talk: Are there any benefits, other than bragging rights, to purchasing premium wiper blades, as opposed to the $5.99 kind? Thanks. — Bill There actually is an

By Ray Magliozzi advantage to buying better-quality wiper blades, Bill: they work better. In our experience, there’s nothing better than the original-equipment (OEM) wiper blades that are sold by the dealer -they were designed to work on your specific windshield. The OEM blades tend to fit better. The spring mechanism that keeps the rubber edge pressed against the windshield is of higher quality, and keeps the blades from streaking or hopping. The rubber composition also tends to be better, leading to a clearer windshield and longer life (longer life for the blades, that is. There have been no studies yet that correlate better windshield wipers with human longevity).

Our customers who buy the $5.99 blades from some of the discount auto-parts stores find that they can’t see as well in the rain, and the blades don’t last as long.

Now, some of the OEM blades seem ridiculously expensive. OK, they are ridic-

Vacation?

ulously expensive. My wife has a Volvo, whose blades cost north of $30 each at the dealership. But they work great and always allow her to see clearly out of the car. And is there anything more important than that?

When they get dirty, I wipe them down with some alcohol, and they work great again.

If you don’t want to buy the OEM blades, you can try replacement blades from reputable companies, like Bosch or Anco. But keep in mind that a lot of those replacement blades will require you to use an adapter to fit the blade onto the metal wiper arm. It’s certainly doable, but you’ll have to monkey around to make it work. And if you mess it up, and the blade falls off, you could put some nice gouges in your windshield.

You never can go wrong buying the OEM stuff. Check online for the genuine parts, and compare pricing to your local dealership’s parts department.

So, unless your address includes the words “Mojave” and “desert,” Bill, I recommend that you skip the $5.99 blades.

Dear Car Talk: I have a car-related question that’s been bothering me for a while. I was born and raised in a place where heat was far more of an issue than cold, so I grew up learning

that at high temperatures, using the heater for the passenger compartment could be used to cool the engine if it started heating up too much. Now that I’ve moved to a place where it snows, I’m being told that when it’s cold, using the heater actually will warm the car faster, because the thermostat will request more heat from the engine, causing it to come up to temperature faster. True?

Thanks! — Patrick False. You’re welcome.

The first part is true. The heater is, essentially, a smaller radiator that lives behind your dashboard. And when you turn it on, you draw heat away from the engine and into the passenger compartment. If the engine is starting to overheat, adding even a small extra radiator will help cool the engine — even if it ends up melting your Crocs.

But contrary to your wishful thinking, Patrick, drawing heat away from the engine will not make the engine warm up any faster.

There’s no “switch” or “thermostat afterburner” setting that commands the engine to warm up faster if you ask for heat. It’s always warming up as quickly as it can.

So if your primary goal in life is to get heat as quickly as possible, your best bet would be to start the engine and, with the heat off, drive away immediately (driving warms up

the engine faster than idling). And then check after a couple of minutes. When the air coming out of the vents is no longer colder than the air in the car, leave the heat on. Or, if you’re lucky enough to have a temperature gauge on your dashboard, then just turn on the heat as soon as the temperature needle moves at all.

By the way, most cars that have climate control do this for you automatically. They’ll let the engine start to warm up and wait until there is heat before they start blowing any kind of air on you.

Now, once you turn on the heat, you’ll cause the engine to take a little longer to get to its full operating temperature. But when your frozen butt cheeks are teetering on the folds of your rock-hard leather seats, who cares about the engine?

It’s true, the engine won’t run at its most efficient until it reaches full operating temperature, but you won’t harm your engine by delaying its warmup a little bit -- especially if you’re driving it gently.

After all, you’re an American, Patrick.

And as such, you are entitled to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and automotive heat at its first available moment. Claim those rights.

FOOD Going Greek

St. Philip Greek Food Festival returns to Nashua News from the local food scene

By Matt Ingersoll

food@hippopress.com

• Seedling Cafe moves to Merrimack: After closing its Nashua location in February, The Seedling Cafe & Catering Co. has a new operating spot in Merrimack as of May 2, according to owner Karen Theriault. The cafe is now open in the main lobby of the Residences at Daniel Webster (246 D.W. Highway, Merrimack) and features many of the same menu items such as homemade soups, salads, wraps and sandwiches, though Theriault said some of the breakfast items have been scaled back a bit due to space. Gluten-free and vegetarian options, in addition to rotating weekly specials, are also available. The cafe’s current hours are Wednesday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday until noon. The same catering menu that was featured at its Nashua location is still available. Call 594-4002 or find the cafe on Facebook.

• Lithuanian tastes: Rodgers Memorial Library (194 Derry Road, Hudson) welcomes Chef Oonagh Williams for A Taste of Lithuania on Wednesday, May 23, at 7 p.m. Williams will present a slideshow of her experiences in Lithuania, plus a discussion of its history and culture, and the presentation will be followed by a sampling of several gluten-free Lithuanian dishes.

Admission is free; registration is requested.

Visit rodgerslibrary.org or call 886-6030.

• In praise of potatoes: First Parish Congregational Church (47 E. Derry Road, Derry) will host a potato fest on Saturday, May 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 35 Looking for more food and drink fun? Check out Hippo Scout, available via the Apple App Store, Google Play and hipposcout.com.

More than 1,500 gyros, 170 pans of spanakopita, 95 pans of pastichio and 1,600 pounds of marinated lamb will be among the many items you can expect at the annual Greek Food Festival at St. Philip Orthodox Christian Church in Nashua, returning on Friday, May 18, and Saturday, May 19.

The two-day festival, which has been held for more than three decades, has grown to feed between 6,000 and 8,000 people, according to Father Alex Chetsas of the church.

In addition to the food, the festival also features local vendor stations, live music and dancing.

“It’s kind of on the more homey side of things. A lot of the items you will see … are made from family recipes the church members have that go back literally hundreds of years,” Chetsas said. “We’ve been baking and cooking every weekend pretty much since the new year.”

Foods are available for purchase either a la carte or as meals that include a main dish and multiple sides and desserts. Some of the more popular items, according to Chetsas, are dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves), spanakopita (spinach pie) and pastichio (a pasta dish with cheese and meat, similar to lasagna). You can also order marinated lamb, roasted chicken, and gyros with a tzatziki sauce.

While those are prepared in advance, the dessert pastries are often made in the final weeks leading up to the festival. Baklava is one of the most popular dessert options each year, Chetsas said, and you can upgrade it to baklava sundaes, with vanilla ice cream and other toppings.

Other desserts include galaktoboureko (a Greek custard pie, similar to an Indian pudding), and kourambiethes (powdered sugar cookies). “[Kourambiethes] are basically like Greek buttered cookies that go great with a cup of tea or coffee,” Chetsas said.

The festival will feature a small selection of non-Greek food items as well, like

chocolate-covered strawberries, cookies, hot dogs and more, according to Chetsas.

There are tents where you can sit and enjoy your meal, or you can get it to go.

Ta Pethia, a Greek-American dance band that has played at past festivals, will perform on both days. Several vendor stations will be set up as well.

“We usually have everything from nice specialty olive oils imported from Greece, to jewelry and some other nice goodies, so it’s great if you’re looking for little gifts for somebody,” Chetsas said.

IN THE

Kitchen

WITH MICHAEL MASSIGLIA

Michael Massiglia of Londonderry — a.k.a. “Messy Mike” — founded Messy Mike’s Barbecue & Catering Co. (messymikesbarbecue.com, facebook. com/messymikesbbq) in April 2014. A former master electrician by trade, the Massachusetts native quit his day job to pursue his barbecuing dream full-time. He works out of Creative Chef Kitchens (35 Manchester Road, Derry) and has catered for a variety of events across New England like birthday parties, cookouts, weddings, golf tournaments and corporate gatherings. Massiglia offers a menu heavy on smoked meats such as pulled pork, St. Louis style ribs, pulled brisket and chicken wings, plus sides like German potato salad, macaroni and cheese, smoked baked beans and coleslaw, with different package options for each menu item depending on what you want for your event. According to Massiglia, he’ll often bring his smoker to the site of an event he is catering up to 10 hours in advance so that everything is cooked fresh. He also makes and bottles his own hot and regular barbecue sauces, which have received recognition from the National Barbecue & Grilling Association.

FROM THE

pantry

Ideas from off the shelf

Slow cooker lasagna About five minutes into making this dish, I knew it was not what I wanted it to be: a timesaver. I normally turn to slow cooker meals when I only have time to throw a handful of ingredients into a single dish, plug the dish in, turn it on and walk away. This was not that recipe. I tricked myself into thinking that slow cooker lasagna would somehow take the prep time out of making lasagna from scratch.

Maybe I could just throw in some noodles, some uncooked meat and some ricotta cheese and miraculously it would turn into a beautiful and tasty dish. Now, while this dish did turn out to be tasty, it still required a decent amount of time in the kitchen.

The one step that was cut out from the traditional preparation was boiling the noodles, and there are no-boil noodles available in the store that make it an unnecessary step to begin with. So, while I did not get my miracle lasagna, I did get a hearty and scrumptious homemade meal. Ultimately, a slow cooker lasagna would be perfect in a few situations, primarily those involving the holidays and dinner parties. For example, if you needed all the oven space you had, this lasagna could be made ahead of time in a slow cooker, freeing up the oven and an hour or so before dinner for making other things.

Similarly, this recipe would work well for a potluck since you would not have to worry Slow cooker lasagna 1 pound ground meat (turkey or beef) ½ pound Italian sausage (turkey or pork) 3 cups marinara sauce 16 ounces ricotta cheese 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese 4 ounces grated Parmesan 1 package lasagna noodles, uncooked Garlic salt, pepper, Italian seasonings and parsley to taste.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground meat and sausage until no longer

about the lasagna getting cold before everyone went back for seconds.

Prepared in much the same way you would make a no-boil lasagna, this slow cooker lasagna recipe is not that far removed from the traditional preparation of the dish.

I still cooked the ground meat first, mixed the cheese separately and layered the ingredients before topping with an extra sprinkle of cheese and serving with a smooth spoonful of sauce. If I had approached this recipe with a more open mind, I might not have been as disappointed in the time I spent preparing the dish.

I should have known better than to hope for a five-minute prep time, and if I had thought it through before diving into the recipe, I would have been pleasantly surprised by the finished product. I anticipated that the noodles would be undercooked, the meat overcooked and the cheese burnt to the sides of the dish, but in fact I ended up with perfect al dente pasta layers, gooey servings of cheese and meat that was cooked just right.

Overall, while this recipe did not save me time in the kitchen, it certainly has its perks, and I know it’s a recipe I’ll likely be saving to use again when the next office potluck rolls around.

— Lauren Mifsud pink, seasoning with garlic salt and pepper.

In a separate bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, season with garlic salt, Italian seasonings, pepper and parsley. Add all but ½ cup marinara sauce to the cooked meat mixture and stir to combine.

Coat the bottom of the slow cooker with a light layer of the remaining marinara sauce.

Layer the noodles, meat and cheese and repeat until all ingredients are used. Top with a final layer of noodles and the remaining marinara sauce. Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or until noodles are tender.

Not gone yet

Cask & Vine showcasing rarest of rare brews

By Jeff Mucciarone food@hippopress.com

Just because a beer is no longer in production doesn’t mean you can’t find it.

OK, if we’re being honest, there’s a pretty good chance you won’t be able to find it. But, I’m saying there’s a chance — thanks to Cask & Vine in Derry.

The craft beer and wine bar at 1 1/2 East Broadway is hosting the “No Longer in Production” series, during which owner Andy Day will tap a series of brews each week in June labeled “No longer being produced by the brewery.”

How is that possible? Well, to put it mildly, Day and his staff are patient. Or, he was kind of a hoarder, depending on your perspective.

Over the past five years, Day set aside a number of limited release selections or “treats,” as Day put it, to eventually introduce to his customers after brews aged.

“There is a lot of limited stuff out there and you just want to put it out right away,” Day said. “But as a beer geek, we’re thinking, what if we hang on to it for a few years?...There’s balance between putting stuff out right away and having a little patience. Good things come to those who wait.”

Each week in June, Cask & Vine will introduce a different series of no longer in production brews.

These are big, boozy giants like Firestone Walker Brewing Co. Stickee Monkee (2014) and Double DBA (2014), North Coast Brewing Co. Old Stock (2014 and 2015), Allagash Brewing Co. Interlude (2014) and Smuttynose Brewing Co. Imperial Stout (2008 and 2009).

Essentially all of these offerings are going to come in at double digits for ABV—quintessential “big beers.” Think rich, malty bombs with big flavors of molasses, toffee, dark fruit, dark chocolate and coffee.

Aging brews can mellow intensity and increase complexity. Day said he and his staff played around with brews, determining which ones took well to aging.

“We’re really cherry-picking the best ones we’ve got,” Day said. “It’s an opportunity to have something you probably haven’t had before, and that you’ll likely never have again,” Day said.

Day said he plans to develop an informal poll so his customers can have input on what he taps each week.

Day sees the Stickee Monkee, a Belgian quad aged in spirits barrels boasting big flavors of sweet molasses, toasted oak,

coconut and leather, according to untappd.com, and Firestone Walker’s Parabola, a Russian imperial stout, as being of particular interest to beer enthusiasts.

Big beers like these aren’t necessarily for everyone — the alcohol is in your face, the flavors are big and bold and very different from today’s hop craze. But big beers are so complex, they’re just begging to be sipped and pondered. And it’s not like you need to swallow a full pint of a 13-percent ABV brew. For bigger beers, the pour is typically 10 or 12 ounces — better yet, order a flight of samples.

That way you can compare and contrast the various brews without getting bogged down by their girth.

Further, whether you’re at Cask & Vine exploring a no-longer-in-production brew or at your local watering hole perusing the tap list, don’t be afraid to ask the bartender questions and perhaps request a sample.

As Day, said, “let us delight your taste buds.”

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 Nite Lite by Night Shift Brewing Company: This is Night Shift’s answer to Bud Light and Coors Light and Miller Lite and on and on. This is a pleasing, refreshing and easy-to-drink brew. It’s not complex and it’s not meant to be. It tastes like beer and the price tag is much lower than most of Night Shift’s offerings.

He’s already released some Americana under his real name, starting in 2014 with 17 Acres, an album recorded in a single-wide trailer on his huge patch of rural nothingness and which came out of nowhere to win the hearts of, well, basically everyone who heard it, which was nice, being that he was fighting the crazy levels of self-doubt every artist has to endure, and yeah, that does include self-styled culture critics with smart mouths. The guy’s a genius, which you can tell right off from the first minute of opener “I Am a War Machine,” a surprisingly epic, oddly aggressive, buzzy bit of … I dunno, rural-rock that owes as much to Kings of Leon as Amos Lee, the latter of which come to mind in the lazy, unplugged strummer “Hosanna.” Remember this guy’s name, folks.

I can’t believe it’s been nearly 15 years since I last covered this soup-tonuts techno duo; I apparently got a bit too busy to keep up with all the Metropolis Records acts that I liked, which at one point was all-of-‘em-Katie. I especially dug these two Germans (I think), who (recording under literally 12 different band names, including Haujobb), offered a bouncy velvet-rope-danceclub departure from efforts of their mates in the Metropolis stable (most of whom were Depeche Mode wannabes back then). Dousing their low-key, afterparty beats with just the right amount of IDM and glitch, toying with dubstep and ’80s-pop, not trying too hard — they’ve always had, I don’t know, the right idea. This isn’t at all bad for a live record, meaning two guys twisting knobs in front of a bunch of drunken goths, and yeah, for the record, I think this is literally only the third live album I’ve ever written about, meaning, like I said, I dig these guys.

• If I’m not mistaken, Five Finger Death Punch is one of those sort-of-metal-but-in-reality-screamo bands who use over-processed guitars that sound like they came out of a cereal box, makers of the disposable vibe preferred by “edgy” and “popular” YouTube celebrities whose relative obscurity, they think, affords them enough shaky legal ground to use copyrighted music as background for their “cinnamon challenge” clips without ever having to deal with the cops.

And Justice For None is the band’s seventh full-length, and forget I said anything, because this Wiki-whatever page says they’re groovemetal/hard-rock, not pan-neo-screamo-pop, which must mean they sound a little like Jane’s Addiction, but with Cookie Monster screams, probably? Maybe? Now I’m curious, so let’s pretend to care and drag our tired fingers over to YouTube, where we can all collapse in a heap and get screamed at by these scream-pop dingbats, who, going by their album titles, seriously appear to believe that their loud, crazed screaming and “buzzsaw riffing” will “fix society” and not just make people think of entrance themes to WWE wrestling-clown acts. Wait, I’m listening to the new single “Fake,” and it’s not American-IdolWith-Screams or wrestling-Clarabelles at all, it’s almost cool, like Meshuggah trying to be Slayer by dumbing it down. Give an MP3 of this to Granny for the bus ride down to Foxwoods.

• Charles Watson, the keyboard player for indie-folk-pop duo Slow Club, strikes out on his own with the forthcoming LP Now That I’m a River, on its way imminently. The test-drive single “Abandoned Buick” is ’70s-chill-tinged twee, with a friendly-enough Fender Rhodes keyboard line and a half-there hook that’s more Belle & Sebastien than anything else I suppose; the end game is obviously a born-too-late-for-K-Tel “Smashing Sounds of the ’60s” compilation, and no, I have no idea why someone would want to do that, not that there aren’t a hundred genres that would be worse to ghoul up.

• Well this isn’t bad at all, the title track from the new Parquet Courts album, Wide Awake! The vibe is a party-up thing, sort of like early Talking Heads infused with enough Sheena Easton pan-world percussion to make you want to start a one-person conga line while mixing margaritas. It will either be bigger than the Super Bowl or no one will ever hear of it, is the thing.

• Forty-nine-year-old Oklahoma country folkie Kelly Willis is somewhat of a Bonnie Raitt but not that famous, having bopped around for 16 years, twice breaking the Country Top 30. Back Being Blue is her 10th full-length, the swampy-but-torchy title track remindful of Shania Twain’s recent stuff in every way, meaning Norah Jones-like but nothing of great import; I am getting sleeeepy, very sleeeepy. — Eric W.

Teens take the screen

NH High School Short Film Fest returns

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Young New Hampshire filmmakers will get a taste of the film fest scene and showcase their work at Red River Theatres in Concord during the New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival premiere on Saturday, May 19. Of the 56 films submitted this year, 27 have been selected by a jury to be screened at the premiere, where awards will be given to the top-scoring films.

“It gives the kids a real film festival experience,” said Matt Newton, director of the New Hampshire Film Office, which hosts the event. “There’s the theater full of people, the smell of popcorn in the lobby, the red carpet, the lanyards with badges showing that they’re a filmmaker. They get it all.”

To be considered for the festival, filmmakers must be students in grades 9 through 12 who are either currently enrolled at a New Hampshire public or private school or are New Hampshire residents attending high school anywhere, or New Hampshire home-schooled students ages 14 to 18.

Many students participate in the festival just for fun or as a class project, but for some it’s an important step in pursuing a career in film.

Briana Demers, a senior at Salem High School, submitted films her sophomore and junior years. This year, she worked on three submitted films: She served as the student adviser for her school’s Blue Devil Film Club, which produced a sci-fi film called The Waiter; she and a group of friends independently produced a family drama called Letters to Lisa; and, in her Television Production class, she helped produce a drama called Worthless. After graduation, she plans to continue studying film and enroll in a media arts program at a local college.

“Besides this film festival, we don’t have many opportunities for interaction [with the film world],” Demers said, “so it’s important to have this connection, to be able to see what other students are producing and see how you compare.”

The films must be no longer than seven minutes, but as far as content goes, there are no limitations — a liberty that few youth film festivals provide, Newton said, since many people tend to equate “youth” with “family-friendly.”

“We advocate for the kids to create whatever kind of film they want. This is their opportunity to have a voice as visual artists,” he said. “Sometimes that means dealing with some deep and dark issues and sensitive topics, but we don’t shy away from that. We’ve had films about bully-

ing, teen suicide, body image, transgender issues, all kinds of things.”

The festival will feature films in a variety of genres, including documentary, sci-fi, drama, horror, comedy, experimental and PSA. Filmmakers are free to feature mature content when reasonable — for example, violence or disturbing imagery in a horror film — but if it is gratuitous and does not contribute any value to the film, judges will give the film negative marks, just as they do for any kind of compositional weaknesses a film may possess.

“We want kids to be able to try different things, just like any other professional film festival,” Newton said. “Sometimes they can really do some damage. We’ve had films where people had to look away, or films that end and there is complete silence. ... They can have a big impact.”

Demers said students often don’t realize the impact that their film will have until it’s screened.

“It’s different when it’s up on the big screen and you can hear how the audience reacts to different things,” she said. “If their reactions are what you were going for, that makes you feel good, and if they aren’t, it’s a good learning experience and shows you what you should do differently for your next film.”

At the premiere, the jury will reveal its film picks for best in show, runner-up, three finalists, and the best PSA film. The best in show winner’s school will get to host the New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival trophy, engraved with the winner’s and school’s names, until next year’s festival. The best in show and runners-up will also have their films screened at the New Hampshire Film Festival in Portsmouth in October and the SNOB Film Festival in Concord in November.

“We’re looking for something more than just a funny YouTube video they filmed with their buddies in their backyard. We’re looking for a film with a structured story, good characters, creativity in how the filmmaker approached it, and, from the technical side, [quality] video and audio,” Newton said. “It’s highly competitive, and the kids continue to raise the bar every year.”

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Breaking In (PG-13)

A mother must rescue her children from robbers in Breaking In, a stripped down thriller that seems crafted entirely for the purpose of showcasing Gabrielle Union’s ability to bad-ass.

Shaun (Union) is a mother of two — teenage Jasmine (Ajiona Alexus) and younger Glover (Seth Carr) — headed with the kids for the remote, multi-acre horse farm retreat of Shaun’s superwealthy but shady-ish father, who is killed in an intentional hit-and-run in the movie’s opening scenes. Shaun has planned to spend the weekend readying the home for sale, with her husband Justin (Jason George) remaining at work in the city.

As Shaun, who was estranged from her father, walks around the house, she discovers all the automated controls and seemingly overthe-top security measures her father installed.

The kids, of course, have some tech of their own, such as the drone-mounted camera that Glover is flying through the house. The footage from the drone is how Glover first sees one of the four men who have broken into the house. Sam (Levi Meaden), Duncan (Richard Cabral) and ringleader Eddie (Billy Burke) grab him and Jasmine and hold them at gunpoint inside while Shaun, who had been investigating an open garage door and some disconnected wiring, is attacked outside by Peter (Mark Furze).

Shaun sees her kids being held but can’t get to them because of the house’s shatter-proof windows and automatic locks. She manages to incapacitate Peter long enough to find out a bit of information about the reason the men have come to the house and then sets about trying to find a way to get to her children and get them out of the fortress-like house.

My explanation right there is almost more involved than the story itself. Something more accurate to the feel of this movie might be: fight fight fight, run run, hide, sneak to do this thing, hide, fight, run sneak, run, etc.

There, that’s your movie. In between, there are a few conversations between Shaun and Eddie, each trying to figure out the abilities and motivations of the other.

Breaking In.

There is very little to this movie. This isn’t a multi-course tasting menu. This is french fries, with salt, the end. You want fries?

These are decent fries, but don’t go looking for cheese sauce or fried capers. You want Union running around being awesome? She is, here, running around being awesome, fighting dudes, hiding from dudes, outwitting dudes. This movie has no depth to it at all, but the quarter inch of surface is perfectly serviceable. Not excellent, not innovative or even all that exciting or memorable, but fine and even commendable for all the ways the movie isn’t exploitative and lets its strong female characters be strong. BRated PG-13 for violence, menace, bloody images, sexual references and brief strong language, according to the MPAA. Directed by James McTeigue and written by Ryan Engle, Breaking In is an hour and 28 minutes long and is distributed by Universal Studios.

Life of the Party (PG-13)

A newly divorced woman fulfills her lifelong desire to finish her college degree in Life of the Party, an uneven but occasionally interesting comedy.

As Deanna (Melissa McCarthy) and husband Dan (Matt Walsh) drop their only

daughter Maddie (Molly Gordon) off at college for her senior year Dan announces: that he wants a divorce, that he’s selling their house and that the real estate agent, Marcie (Julie Bowen), selling the house is also his girlfriend. Devastated, Deanna reflects on how she left college with only a year to go when she got pregnant and never finished school or pursued her own career. Now, with the marriage she gave so much to over, she decides to finish her degree at her alma mater, the same school Maddie is attending.

Though she puts in the occasional popby to her daughter’s sorority house, Deanna, improbably living in a campus dorm, actually spends most of her time studying in the library or in the dorm room haunted by her gothy roommate, Leonor (Heidi Gardner).

Maddie’s sorority sisters — Helen (Gillian Jacobs), Jennifer (Debby Ryan) and Amanda (Adria Arjona) — like having Deanna around and seek to include her more in their lives.

Deanna cooks lasagna, delivers pick-me-ups when the girls need reassurance and, after Maddie convinces her mom to lose the bedazzled sweaters and helmet perm, they even bring Deanna to parties. At one such party she meets Jack (Luke Benward), a twentysomething student who is quite taken with the probably early-40s Deanna. After a tryst with Jack, Deanna excitedly calls her best friend,

Christine (Maya Rudolph), who gives her an attagirl for her adventure-filled new life.

And, hey, cheers to that, cheers to a middleaged, non-supermodel lady getting to have a fun life reinvention with very little feeling bad about her neck (to paraphrase Nora Ephron) or trying to out-kitten the kittens, as Julia Roberts once put it. (“You can’t out-kitten the kittens,” Roberts said in an interview on Oprah for the movie Mona Lisa Smile, a movie where she appeared with a pack of younger actresses. This was sometime in the early aughts when Roberts was in her mid30s and it has stuck with me as some great life advice.) Deanna isn’t trying to recapture her youth or compete with 20something girls.

She presents herself as a woman, basically satisfied with being the age she is, trying to (to continue borrowing from Oprah) live her best life now, not relive the life she might have had.

And yet this movie is confusing. At some moments it is almost unbearably terrible. The humor can be hacky, overly reliant on very silly physical comedy and the visual gag of Deanna’s mom sweaters.

The movie also doesn’t seem to know exactly what to do with the relationship between Maddie and Deenna. Their scenes can feel very tell-not-show, very “in this scene Maddie fully supports her mother” and “in this scene Maddie is embarrassed” without a real sense of Maddie’s character or how she changes over the course of the movie. She feels emblematic of a kind of overall lack of depth for all the characters. They girls just accept Deanna, Jack just has the hots for her, gothy roommate is just gothy — there’s no real hint of an explanation or motivation behind any of it.

And yet, the movie, even in its terrible-ish moments, isn’t actually terrible. It does a lot of smart and even impressive things with the way the story plays out. Almost universally in a movie like this, the prize at the end of the movie would be a new man for Deanna and maybe some kind of comeuppance for Dan. That is not the direction the movie goes.

Meeting a new guy is a story beat — a relatively minor one — but it’s not the goal. In

O AN F XIC ME

her interactions with the sorority girls, her advice is never to get them to do things she didn’t do but to just be themselves and be proud and happy about who they are now.

That might sound pat but the way this movie presents this idea is very unlike what you usually see.

Life of the Party is another project written

by McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone, who also directs. As with their previous outings, this movie has a lot of good ideas it doesn’t always seem to know how to pull together or how to focus to show McCarthy’s significant comic abilities at their finest. It is an example of creative growth, though — Life of the Party is better than The Boss, which was better than Tammy. And, as with those movies, there is something about McCar-

thy, her sensibility and her outlook (even her goofy love of the pratfall) that make me want to root for this movie.

The movie also has some fun with Gillian Jacobs and Maya Rudolph, who is in her mid-40s and plays her character like she’s doing a Golden Girls reboot audition tape which is both weird and weirdly entertaining.

I went from rooting for Life of the Party to just wanting it to end to sort of appreciating the movie in its final third. Where does that leave us, a C+?

“RBG: RUTH BADER GINSBURG”

Every Evening 7:30 pm • Sun Mat. 2 pm & 4:30 pm

NH Premiere — from France “BACK TO BURGUNDY” French, Spanish, English with subtitles

Though a band called Styx is on tour this summer, it’s not going to be the same without Dennis DeYoung, who wrote and sang seven of their eight Top Ten hits. DeYoung continues to play “Blue Collar Man,” “Babe,” “Best of Times” and other Styx favorites for fans, though, and on Saturday, May 19, he’ll mark the 40th anniversary of their breakout album The Grand Illusion by performing it from start to finish at Concord’s Capitol Center for the Arts, along with all the hits that followed.

Buoyed by the iconic “Come Sail Away,” The Grand Illusion established Styx in the rock world. It was the first of four consecutive triple platinum albums. The next, Kilroy Was Here, sold 2.5 million copies. It even helped revive “Lady,” an all but forgotten song from their 1973 debut, and boosted sales of the follow-up, Equinox.

That it took three tries to reach wide recognition still rankles DeYoung. He stated in a recent interview that other groups were labeled by critics as Styx forebears, despite actually emerging years after them.

“I never heard Queen, Kansas, Journey, Foreigner until 1975,” he said, “but many people who wrote about music considered Styx kind of like imitators of those bands, when we really weren’t. If you listen to our first album in ‘72, there’s that rock, pop, proggy thing with those high whiny vocals. There is a combination of lots of elements, and it was there in the very beginning.”

With The Grand Illusion, DeYoung knew a big break was coming — or else. It was the band’s second effort with new label A&M, and it contained what he considered to be a surefire single.

“We had an album listening party,” he said.

“At the end of it, my very best friend, Tom Short, was standing next to me [and] ‘Come

Sail Away’ finished Side 1. I turned to him and said, ‘If that doesn’t do it — I can’t … I’m going to go back to being a teacher, because what am I supposed to do?’ Our career was a litany of record company mistakes.”

It’s still DeYoung’s favorite Styx record.

“Probably the most perfect album we ever made,” he said.

It was a concept record dealing with false media messiahs, a theme that’s very relevant in today’s celebrity age. “I told everybody in that album, ‘deep inside we’re all the same.’

We’re an illusion,” DeYoung said, quoting from the title track. “Don’t be fooled by the radio, TV or the magazines; they show you photographs which are images of how your life should be; but they’re just someone else’s fantasies. That is what is was, and that is what it is and always will be. You look at Facebook — that’s an illusion; you know it and I know it.”

DeYoung’s also wary of those who believe music should seek to change the world.

“Rock and roll wasn’t about politics,” he said. “The people who invented it — Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis — wanted to buy a Cadillac. It wasn’t about the smarty pants in the late ’60s who all got together and thought that this music should have some higher purpose that moves the culture, takes social issues and turns them into revolution. The revolution never happened. I was there, but I sure don’t remember it.”

Styx got big just as punk happened and had the misfortune of touring England just as critics were burying bands like them.

“They were calling us dinosaurs, and I said, ‘Jesus, Mary and Joseph; we just got here!

What the hell?’”

Lumping them with Genesis and ELP was also unfair, he said.

“We were never a prog band, but we had proggy ideas. We just stole from everybody. … Styx, more than anything else, was a hybrid. If you took ‘Mr. Roboto’ and

‘Babe’ and ‘Renegade,’ and played them for a stranger, they wouldn’t even think it was the same band.”

Asked if a reunion with Styx co-founders Tommy Shaw, James Young and Chuck Panozzo might ever happen, DeYoung said the answer lies with his ex-mates, who threw cold water on the idea in a recent sit-down with Dan Rather.

“In 1999, there was an ultimatum: Show up for the tour or we’re replacing you. I was ill, I still suffer from what I had,” he said. “I said from the beginning, I want to be in the band, I never wanted to leave ... ever. It’s been in Tommy and James’s hands, and it still is” DeYoung said he has asked to reunite for a tour.

“Last year, I said we should do one final tour. ... It is what the fans really want. It’s not just about Styx, but the romantic notion that people bring about their love to particular bands. It’s real and it applies to us as well as to any band, and I’m quite capable of doing it.

In fact, I am the guy that does it.”

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Dreams come true

A janitor at Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea, may have hit the jackpot on April 26 when he discovered $325,000 worth of gold bars in a garbage bin. Investigators told The Korea Times they believe two men were transporting the gold, wrapped in newspapers, from Hong Kong to Japan, and threw away the stash for fear of being searched by customs agents. If the owner doesn’t make a claim in six months, the janitor will get the gold, thanks to South Korea’s “finders-keepers” law. However, if the treasure is found to be linked to criminal activity, the janitor will not be entitled to any of it.

High times

A Florida Highway Patrol trooper arrived at the scene of a crash in Orlando on April 29 to find Scott Ecklund, 32, uninjured but highly agitated. Trooper Glaudson Curado arrested Ecklund after Ecklund helpfully told the trooper he could get more meth than had been found in the search of Ecklund’s wrecked Chevy Impala if the trooper would allow him to leave the scene. “Mr. Ecklund was making no sense during our conversation,” Curado wrote in his report, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Ecklund, who was arrested earlier in April for crashing a truck into a house and claiming to be an FBI agent as he brandished an assault rifle, was charged with meth possession and driving with a suspended license and taken to the Orange County Jail.

The track is about 3 miles from Tramaglini’s home in Aberdeen. But neighbors told NJ.com that Tramaglini always struck them as a nice guy — “Except for pooping on the field,” one added. Another dismissed all the attention: “If he wasn’t a super, this wouldn’t even be news.”

The Palais de Tokyo, a contemporary art museum in Paris, has made a name for itself by granting special visiting hours to nudists. On May 5, Reuters reported, naturists were invited to tour an exhibit, with about 160 attendees taking advantage of the sans-clothing event.

Paris is seeing an increase in naturist events, according to Julien Claude-Penegry, communications director of the Paris Naturists Association. “The naturists’ way of life is to
