Like rats fleeing a sinking ship, the Manchester School District has seen sending districts, like Bedford and Hooksett, deciding to take their students out of Manchester, often times with the quality question at the center of decisions. Manchester’s student population has dramatically decreased to the point where discussions around the possible closing of schools, including West High School, have been major topics in the city. Add to this Manchester’s high high-school dropout rate, unimpressive test scores and the lowest perpupil spending in the state, and it’s not hard to understand why surrounding communities are thinking that Manchester may not be the best place to send their students.

But while most of us have heard this type of bad news for years, there are reasons for optimism. Superintendent Dr. Bolgan Vargas is now a few years into his job and his impact is being felt.

Manchester School of Technology, a pet project of school board member Arthur Beaudry, is now a four-year high school and is impressive to anyone visiting the school.

With the help of a Barr Foundation grant, West Principal Richard Dichard is working tirelessly (he gave up Celtics playoff tickets to stay glued to his mission) to transform West High into a true 21st-century high school.

Amy Allen, former principal at Parker Varney elementary school, has been selected by Dr. Vargas to be an assistant superintendent, largely based on her amazing NG2 work at Parker Varney (no grades — the ABCD kind and the first-, second- and third-grade kind), an effort to move to a mastery-based system. The effort is showing great results and has gotten attention locally and nationally as folks around the country are coming to see a new education model in action. The seeming logic of sending Amy Allen upstairs is to spread the concept throughout the district.

While it’s still too soon to declare Manchester schools officially turned around, it is not too soon to feel cautiously optimistic about the direction.

Manchester has a lot going for it, especially as a city with great resources outside of the walls of the schools and a significant number of city leaders who love the city and have grouped to form Manchester Proud. These leaders are committed to putting the time and effort and, I’ll bet, even some money into ensuring that the schools are the best they can be. They know that Manchester is a city poised for greatness if it can get its public school act together and are committed to making it happen.

I, for one, am optimistic.

NEWS & NOTES

CIA director

Democratic U.S. Senators Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen were at odds regarding the nomination of Gina Haspel, who was confirmed as the next CIA director by a 54-45 Senate vote on May 17. Hassan released a statement opposing Haspel’s confirmation, arguing that Haspel’s “record and her perspective on torture are disqualifying. Torture is an affront to our American values, it is unreliable and ineffective, and it puts our troops around the world at greater risk. Yet Ms. Haspel has still not fully acknowledged that torture is wrong.” Shaheen announced in a statement that she would vote to confirm Haspel’s nomination, saying her “extensive career and experience at the CIA have well prepared her to lead the agency.”

During a private meeting with Haspel, Shaheen said in her statement, she “welcomed [Haspel’s] recognition that the CIA’s so-called ‘enhanced interrogation program’ harmed our nation’s moral leadership and her pledge that it will never be used again.”

DMV wait times

The New Hampshire DMV in Concord implemented a new online queueing system that will display current wait times for the state’s busiest DMV locations, including the Concord, Dover, Manchester, Nashua and Salem offices. The DMV’s website will show the number of customers currently waiting at each location and the longest wait time currently being experienced by any customer. Online wait times will be updated by the queueing system, which tracks the wait time from when a customer receives a ticket at the greeter counter to when they are called to the counter to complete a transaction. Visit nh.gov.

Motor Speedway concert

After a nearly two-year legal process, a judge for Merrimack County Superior Court ruled in favor of a proposed country music festival at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. According to NHPR, a group of neighbors filed suit based on a 1989 agreement they signed with the speedway, claiming it prohibited music concerts being held on the property. However, the court clarified that the restriction from HIPPO | MAY 24 - 30, 2018 | PAGE 4

the agreement pertains solely to the racetrack and grandstands purchased at the time and excludes property purchased after 1989, which has since been zoned for concerts and outdoor events. The festival will be held in partnership with Live Nation during summer 2019 and include camping and three days of music.

Natural gas pipeline

Twenty-two of New Hampshire’s 24 state senators endorsed the “Granite Bridge” energy infrastructure project proposed by Liberty Utilities in Londonderry, per a news release from the company. The project would connect existing in-state natural gas infrastructure through a new underground pipeline, buried in the state-owned rightof-way along Route 101 between Stratham and Manchester. The project would also feature a new natural gas storage facility built in an abandoned quarry in Epping.

According to Liberty Utilities, this facility would store natural gas purchased in the summer when prices are low and provide that lower-cost fuel to customers in the winter when prices increase. In a statement, Senate President Chuck Morse (R-Salem) said “Our economy depends on low-cost, reliable sources of energy. Taking advantage of existing infrastructure and using an energy infrastructure corridor is a common sense approach.”

Senators James Gray (R-Rochester) and John Reagan (R-Deerfield) were the only two senators who didn’t endorse the project.

Scenic rivers

Eleven riverfront communities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire all voted “yes” at their annual town meetings to accept the “Nashua, Squannacook and Nissitissit Rivers Stewardship Plan,” developed by the Nashua River Wild and Scenic River Study Committee. The plan was researched and developed over the past two-and-ahalf years by the committee, which recommended seeking Wild and Scenic designations for these rivers from the U.S. Forest Service.

The entirety of the Squannacook and Nissitissit rivers is included in the plan, as is the mainstem of the Nashua River in Massachusetts up to the New Hampshire border. The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act protects more than 12,700 miles of rivers and streams in the U.S., according to the U.S. Forest Service.

The Telegraph reported that CBTBE anticipates filing an application to create a community bank with state and federal officials in August 2018.

Stinky science

What skunk spray is made of and how to get rid of the odor

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

The weather has warmed up and creatures of all sorts are emerging from hiding to scrounge for food and have babies — including skunks. That means you or your cats and dogs will have an increased likelihood of encountering the odorous mammals. If you do, you’ll need the best defense against the skunk’s notorious defense mechanism: science.

Skunk behavior

Patrick Tate, a wildlife biologist with New Hampshire Fish and Game, said skunks emerged out of hibernation in late winter.

“Around mid-February, right around Valentine’s Day, they begin starting to enter their breeding season and they begin becoming active,” Tate said.

They poke their heads out here and there as weather permits in the weeks that follow, but they usually don’t become heavily active until around April, when the weather breaks and they leave their dens in search of food sources, and for the females, nesting sites.

“The males are doing their thing, which is finding food and just living their life, trying to stay out of trouble,” Tate said.

As nocturnal creatures, skunks roam and scavenge mostly at night. In urban areas, they’ve been known to investigate garbage and outdoor pet food bowls for sustenance.

That’s why, Tate said, it’s always a good idea to keep garbage areas clean and never feed outdoor pets or wild animals, especially at night.

Spray compounds

Both males and females have the odor spray ability. Interestingly, skunks don’t like getting their oil on themselves either.

According to Tate, skunk oil is composed of seven major volatile compounds, which can be broken down into two major categories: thiols and thioacetates, which are derivatives of thiols. Thiols are organosulfur compounds that produce a strong odor often resembling burnt garlic. In fact, thiols share a sulfoxide cousin with alliin, a component found in garlic.

“It looks to me like a very fascinating organic chemistry set,” Tate said.

Three thiols are primarily responsible for the strong scent. But the thioacetates, while they are less odorific, can become thiols through water hydrolysis. That’s why curious pets that get sprayed might have a resurgence in skunk odor days after being

121367

sprayed if they’re out in the rain.

It’s a substance that’s evolved as a deterrent and a sort of blinding agent.

“It’s an acidic based substance and it … burns whatever it hits. So, if an animal gets it in the face it burns a little bit and burns in the eyes, burns in the nose. And it has an overwhelming power that essentially renders our nose … less sensitive to picking up scent,” Tate said.

He said it’s an oily substance and an acidic substance, and all the compounds mixed together make for something pungent, sticky and lasting.

Getting the stink out

So, how do we get it out of pet fur?

“Because it’s an oily based substance and acidic based, to combat that you want to have a substance that breaks down oil and neutralizes acids,” Tate said.

To that end, the best remedy he’s aware of is a three-part cocktail: one quart of hydrogen peroxide, one quarter of a cup of baking soda and a teaspoon of liquid dishwashing soap.

The dishwashing soap has a degreasing agent that breaks down the oil, the baking soda neutralizes the acid and the hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the thiols into odorless sulfonic acids.

To apply the mixture, wash it into your pet’s coat thoroughly, while being careful to avoid the pet’s eyes. Let it sit for about five minutes and then wash it out.

Tate said the only downside to this mixture is that, because hydrogen peroxide is a bleaching agent, it can lighten the color of your pet’s coat temporarily. So, it can make a black lab look like a chocolate lab, he said.

“But it gets rid of the smell immediately,” Tate said. “Pet owners that I’ve talked to who have used it have said that it worked very well.”

Other remedies he’s found only serve to mask the smell and over time, as the product wears off, the skunk odor will return.

Can you tell me a little about yourself, where you’re from and how you ended up in this kind of work?

I’m originally from Puerto Rico and I came to the U.S. in 1968 and I grew up in New York City. So between New York City and Boston, where I spent 25 years prior to coming to New Hampshire, I spent my adult working life in higher education. I worked for a variety of twoand four-year colleges, both private and public, at the same time getting my college education. … Prior to coming to New Hampshire, I worked about 10 years at a small, private technical college in Boston called Benjamin Franklin Institute and that’s where I really got grounded in developing curriculum around trying to tie it to the needs of business and industry and creating pathways and writing grants, fundraising. … And then I used that to come to New Hampshire, where I became the president of Great Bay Community College on the Seacoast in Portsmouth.

Actually, the college at the time was located in Stratham, so it was my task to build a new campus in Portsmouth at the tradeport and move the college … which we accomplished in 2009. [That’s when] we really started to focus on business and industry, developing partnerships [and developing] curriculum to meet the needs of industry. … that allowed us to develop a deeper capacity of manufacturing programs across the state.

Now that you’re heading up the Division of Economic Development, I wonder, since your experience has largely been in the realm of workforce development, how heavily that plays a role in what strategies you come up with.

Given where we are with the economy and the workforce, this was a bit of a natural transition for me. The commissioner, Taylor Caswell, and the governor as well, were looking to step a little bit out of the box to bring somebody on board that had some significant experience working with educational institutions and focusing on workforce development. And that’s what I’ve been able to bring to the position. …

One of the main tenets of [this division] is to work with the higher educational institutions in the state to get really focused on building the pipeline for the needs of industry. That is going to take some

time, but we’ve already begun to have these conversations with the University System, the Community College System and the New Hampshire College and University Council. That’s Will Arvelo something that wasn’t a focus before. … You can’t have economic development if you don’t have the workforce.

Is the emphasis on the educational pipeline in-state over attracting talent from out-of-state? Or is there some balancing act between the two you are trying to strike?

It’s a combination of all different kinds of things, because we know demographically we have a challenge going forward with the aging of the population and people aging out of work and so forth. So we have to [have a] multi-pronged strategy of working with the K-12, working with the university system to retain more students in the state but also working [on] strategies that will make us more attractive to out-of-staters who may want to locate in the state. … And on the other end of the spectrum, we’re also very interested in how do we retain older workers for longer periods of time in the workforce. If you think about it, if people retire at 65, they still have 20 or 30 years in front of them. … I think the idea that people should be retiring at 65 or 66 or whatever the age is, that’s going to have to change as people live longer and as people remain healthier for longer periods of time. … Maybe less hours, but if we can keep them in the workforce at half time or 30 hours or whatever they’re comfortable with, then they can continue to contribute and also transfer some of the knowledge and skills they have to the younger population.

— Ryan Lessard What are you really into right now?

Elliot Hospital: Ask the Pediatric Surgeon

Q.

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

He seems hungry. Should I be worried?

Rachel

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

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

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

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Arsenic in private wells The U.S. Geological Survey has estimated that one in five water wells in New Hampshire has arsenic at levels higher than what is allowed in public water systems. Exposure to arsenic in private drinking water wells is one of the leading causes of bladder cancer in the state. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, New Hampshire has the highest rate of bladder cancer cases in the nation, a rate that is 37 percent higher than the national average.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: In a 2014 study, researchers at Dartmouth College estimated that arsenic in NH water wells was responsible for 830 cancer cases in the current population.

Campus free speech The University of New Hampshire received the highest rating for free speech from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a nonprofit educational foundation that advocates for free speech at U.S. colleges and universities. UNH revised five speech codes, including a demonstration policy and a posting policy, to earn FIRE’s “green light” rating, signifying that the university’s written policies uphold free speech for students and faculty.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: UNH is the 40th college or university to receive the “green light” from FIRE. Plymouth State University received the rating in 2014, the only other New Hampshire school to receive this recognition.

Opioid epidemic continues In a new report on drug use in the U.S., WalletHub ranked New Hampshire third overall among states with the most severe drug-related issues. The report compared all 50 states and the District of Columbia based on 20 metrics, including arrest and overdose rates, opioid prescriptions and meth-lab incidents per capita. New Hampshire ranked behind only the District of Columbia and Missouri, with the next closest New England state being Rhode Island, ranked eighth overall.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Among the indicators used to score each state, New Hampshire ranked third overall for most overdose deaths per capita.

New scholarship fund Local workers’ compensation professionals launched Kids’ Chance of New Hampshire, a nonprofit that provides scholarships for the children of workers who are seriously injured or killed on the job. The organization would be one of 39 state chapters of Kids’ Chance of America, which have collectively awarded 6,000 scholarships across the country totaling over $18 million. Each state organization operates independently, and the NH Kids’ Chance will provide scholarships for children of workers who are injured in that state, starting when the child turns 15 or 16.

An eventful and interesting baseball season in Boston has so far been somewhat overshadowed by the NHL and NBA playoffs, where the Bruins fizzled earlier than expected and the Celtics sizzled later than expected. But given my angst over Saturday’s disgracefully unfocused Game 3 non-effort, we’ll take a break from the NBA to talk about the biggest 2018 stories from the friendly confines of Fenway Park.

Mookie Betts on a Historic Season: In case you ain’t been paying attention, Mookie Betts is on pace to challenge alltime records in runs scored and total bases.

For most, hot starts distort reality a bit by coming when numbers fluctuate wildly early in the season. But occasionally guys stay on that pace all season. So I’m keeping a close eye on Mookie, as by leading baseball with 49 runs scored and 126 total bases he’s projecting to reach 176 and 454.

The record-holder in both categories is a fella named Babe Ruth, who set both in 1921 as he scored 177 times while accumulating 457 total bases in the (gulp) year after he left Boston for the Yankees. In the last 50 years only Rickey Henderson (146) cracks the Top 100 (60th) and with 139 in 2007 the Phillies Jimmy Rollins’ is the 21st-century leader. In total bases, only eight have been over 400 since 1960, with only Jim Rice in 1978 (406) not aided by the help outlined in the glossary.

Amazingly Ted Williams’ all-time best was 368 (1949) and ain’t even in the Top 100 individual seasons.

A J.D. to Drew-El Over: After the likes of J.D. Drew, Julio Lugo, Dice K, Carl Crawford, Pablo Sandoval, Hanley Ramirez and the histrionics surrounding David Price it’s nice to see a Red Sox free agent for once delivering from the jump as J.D. Martinez has done. After his first 47 games in Boston he was tied for the lead in homers with Mookie at 15, second in RBI with 41, hits with 60 and third in hitting at .343. Somehow with those numbers he’s not even in the Top 10 in WAR, which says something about how silly that contrived stat really is. For perspective: Those numbers project to a 54-homer, 148-RBI, 216-hit season, making him worth the money so far and then some.

The Price Will Never Be Right for The Nation: Speaking of Price, his recent bout with the numbness in his pitching hand is a reminder of how ready Red Sox Nation is to pounce on him for any issue, fairly or unfairly. I get with his ear-

ly social media-ing, busting in his first playoff start and especially with the Eck thing, he has brought some of the acrimony on himself. And that none of it will change until he wins a Cy or two. But you have to admit the fact that his mild case of carpal tunnel syndrome might be linked to playing video games is actually funny. As was the predictable response from the smother-the-Sox-to-death crowd who think pro athletes should be focused on the job 24/7, even when they’re not.

I don’t get the lure of video games, but for some reason a lot of people do it, and until Price came up lame, it’s never sent anyone to the DL. If he continues after this threat, then pounce. But if he doesn’t, he simply was a grown-up acting like he’s 15 wasting time playing with an adolescent toy.

If It Ain’t Broke – Fix It Anyway: From the common-sense strategy to swing at the first pitch, to his shortening early-season starts by Chris Sale and others to keep them fresher in the second half, I like what Alex Cora is doing.

Heck, I’ve even bought in to his relayrace use of relievers that now starts in the sixth inning. But there’s always a but, and here’s mine. With Mookie on pace for 116 RBI in the leadoff spot when the two guys hitting in front of him are below the Mendoza line, I have the nagging feeling the Sox are leaving a lot of RBI on the table. I get that Cora likes the fast starts he gives him with lead-off homers. But how would he lose that with Mookie batting third and still getting up in the first inning? Which, oh by the way, is where the Babe hit when he scored those 177 in 1921. But if Cora wants to keep him there, think outside the box to put guys in front of Mookie at 8 and 9 who can hit and get on base to be driven in, like the returning Dustin Pedroia and maybe Xander Bogaerts.

AL East Race Going South for Some: With the Yankees and Red Sox already 8.5 games up on third-place Toronto, what do you think the over-under will be for games out of first place for the thirdplace finisher in the AL East? The Yanks are meeting expectations with a firstever four guys projecting to hit over 40 homers while knocking in over 100 runs.

Their 67 homers in 47 games puts them on pace to hit 241. Meanwhile at Fenway, Betts and Martinez share the homer lead at 15 and as a team they have even more homers than the Yanks. Bottom line: It looks like the good old days are back for a killer NY-Boston pennant race.

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S PEOPLE, PLACES & OTHER STUFF

St. A’s goes to World Series

The Big Story: Playoff season success rippled through town last week when teams from St. Anselm in softball and SNHU in baseball both won their Super NCAA diamond sport regionals. For the 41-10-1 St. Anselm women it means their first-ever trip to the D-II Softball World Series, where they will be the 2 seed in Salem, Virginia, squaring off Thursday, May 24, with 7-seed Southern Arkansas, who comes in with 57 against nine losses. Ditto for SNHU who goes to the hard ball World Series thanks to Shane McDonald’s 1-hit, 15 strikeout 6-0 shutout win over St. Thomas Aquinas in the Regional Final.

Sports 101: PGA Golfer Doug Ford was the oldest living past Masters champion until he died last week in Florida at 95.

Who now succeeds the 1957 winner as the oldest living ex-Masters champion?

Babe Ruth Award: It’s a tie for the Bedford hurling duo of Erica Barley and Maddie Fraitzl. The former went 3 for 3 and picked up the save in relief in the Bulldogs’ 6-3 win over Merrimack earlier in the week and then hit a pair of bombs and knocked in six runs in Wednesday’s 15-3 win over Nashua South.

Fraitzl earned her seventh win in that one while also going 3-4 with two RBI.

The Numbers

4 – players — Gunnar Senatore, Connor Glosner, John Anderson and Jon Maclean — to score a hat trick for Derryfield in its 20-2 Lax win over Pembroke.

7 – hits allowed by Memorial alum Torri LeMay while striking out eight in a 4-3 first-round NHTI win in the U.S. Col-

Lancer Madness Moments of the Week: Wednesday was not a good day for Manchester Central batters to hit Londonderry pitching. In baseball Anthony Pirolli held the Green to just five hits in a 2-1 LHS win, while in softball Lauren Misiaszek also gave up just five hits as she struck out 12 in the Lancers’ 2-0 win.

Sports 101 Answer: South African alltimer Gary Player is now the oldest living Master champion at 82. A three-time winner, Player first won in 1961 during the heyday of Golf’s Big Three — the late Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus and him — and again in 1974 and ’78.

On This Date – May 24 in 1984: If you thought the Red Sox started 2018 on fire, consider the 1984 Detroit Tigers, who on this day won their AL record 17th straight road game. It was part of a 35-5 start that propelled them to 104 wins and winning the AL East by 15 games. Five pitchers won in double figures, closer Willie Hernandez was MVP and their two best players, ace Jack Morris and shortstop Alan Trammell, will finally join manager Sparky Anderson in Cooperstown this summer.

legiate Athletic Association Small College World Series when Merrimack’s Kabrina Roy knocked in the winning runs with a two-run single in the fifth inning. The ride ended for NHTI two games later in an 11-0 loss to Carlow University to close its best season ever at 29-7.

Theo Epstein’s Worst Signing: Free agent contracts are like Kryptonite to Theo. Amid several whoppers in Boston, Jason Heyward in Chicago stands out. While being paid $28 million per, the high-water marks are 11 homers and 59 RBI in 2017. This year it’s two homers and 11 RBI in 31 games and he’s only on the books for five more years.

ARTS Gone wild

Artist celebrates animals through color

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Rosemary Conroy’s love for animals has taken her on many adventures, from tracking polar bears at Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada, to snorkeling with humpback whales off the coast of the Dominican Republic. It has also been the primary inspiration for her art.

Conroy has been painting full-time for 15 years. She works out of her rural home studio in Weare, where she is surrounded by wildlife as well as her own animals, including four sheep, nine chickens, a dog and two cats. Her paintings are vibrant depictions of the animals she has at home, and the animals she’s seen on her daily walks in the woods and on her nature trips around the world.

“I’ve always been interested in trying to connect people with animals, especially wild animals, because I don’t think people consider them and appreciate and celebrate them as much as I would love them to,” Conroy said. “With my art, I’m trying to get the message out into the world about how amazing these animals are.

IN/OUT THE GARDENING GUY

Spring wildflowers Look around before you plant

By Henry Homeyer

listings@hippopress.com

121207

Every spring Mother Nature gives me gifts, sending blossoms of trillium, hepatica, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, bloodroot, trout lily, blue cohosh, Dutchman’s breeches, squirrel corn and more to my woods and shade gardens. Of course, I have helped nature by planting wildflowers where I know they will be happy.

Some wildflowers I find elsewhere on my property and move to more visible locations.

Others I dig from the woods of friends who are willing to share. For the rarer things, I have found garden centers and bulb companies that have sold me plants, bulbs or roots.

One of the best ways to succeed in the garden is to do your homework. Know what an individual plant needs, and what other plants grow in the same environment as the plants you wish to grow. If trillium grows in my woodlands, I can be pretty sure that Jack-inthe pulpit will do well there, too, for example, because they grow together in the wild.

In nature plants live in communities, and when designing gardens it’s important to consider that. I plan to attend a hands-on design workshop with author Claudia West in Windham, Vermont, about this topic on June 9. (If you are interested in attending this all-day workshop, email cheath58@gmail.com. It’s a Master Gardener workshop, but open to all who are interested. Fees apply.)

But what can you do if you are just starting a woodland garden and don’t know what plants grow in areas like those you have? Visit other gardens. Walk in the woods, and observe what grows together. A maple and beech forest is quite different than one dominated by hemlocks and pines, even if a few of the others are there. Pay attention. Learn names.

I recently visited an amazing display of spring wild flowers at Garden in the Woods, in Framingham, Massachusetts. This 45-acre site is 20 miles west of Boston. The month of May is the peak bloom time, but many wildflowers continue to bloom in June and throughout the summer. Not only that, they have an extensive nursery that sells wildflowers that I have never seen and only dreamed of growing.

My partner Cindy Heath and I walked around the property with Mark Richardson, garden director and co-author of the lovely paperback Native Plants for New England Gardens. We were there on May 9, smack dab in the middle of Trillium Week. Garden in the Woods grows 21 of the 30 species of trillium that are native to the United States, Richardson told me. Not all were in bloom, but I saw several spectacular types.

Of the trees in bloom, two trees nearly made my heart stop with their beauty. First

Golden Club.

was the redbud, a fine specimen of which was blooming right at the entrance. This tree, Richardson explained, exhibits cauliflory, meaning that it flowers directly on the trunk or branches of a woody plant. It has small fuschia-colored flowers that seem to pop right out of the trunk at random.

Redbud is hardy to Zone 4, and is an understory tree, or one that blooms at the edges of woods. I had purchased one the week before coming to The Garden in the Woods, so seeing it there, in the woods, gave me a better idea of where to plant it in my garden.

The other tree in bloom that I saw (and bought) at Garden in the Woods is Carolina silverbells. Like redbud, this is a small tree for part shade and hardy to Zone 4. It has small white flowers that hang from branches before leaves appear. Mine has yet to flower or show leaves, but I am hoping to see flowers soon.

I asked Richardson to name a few of his favorite spring flowers. He explained that he liked some of the common ones, that rare flowers are not necessarily the most alluring to him. He mentioned blue cohosh, moss phlox and pinkster bloom azalea.

I also asked Debbi Edelstein, director of New England Wild Flower Society, what her favorite spring flowers are. She emailed her response: “My favorite part of spring isn’t the reappearance of particular plants, but the explosion of different shades of green and the layers of textures and colors.” I agree. I look forward each spring to the day the sugar maple on the east side of my house first displays its leaves. When the morning sun comes through the leaves I feel so lucky to be alive.

Edelstein continued: “That said, who doesn’t love a redbud in full bloom? At the Garden this time of year, I’m also drawn to the golden club, which is rare in New England and is weird and elemental and probably overlooked by most people; and Trillium erectum (red trillium or red Wake-robin), because it’s a deep red and is more delicate and less glamorous than, say Trillium grandiflorum.”

So go out, look for wildflowers, and plant a few.

Dear Diane, This is a tough one for me because I definitely see the beauty in your stove. I do think in the right market and with the right decor this could be worth at least $500+, but I’m not sure of its worth here in New Hampshire’s market. If your stove wasn’t in almost mint condition and functional it would be easy to say there is no value. But in this case I feel different.

Someone who has a home in this era and with this theme would love to have it. So that is where the value is. But it could be tough to find the right person to get that value. If someone is looking for it for a camp, for example, the value would be

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Time to trade out Old Reliable?

Dear Car Talk: Nearly 16 years ago, I purchased a Saturn SL for a miserly $9,600.

I thought it might last a couple of years and would be chucked for something fancier later

By Ray Magliozzi on. Well, 305,000 miles later, my Saturn has proven to be the most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’ve never been stranded or have failed to get wherever I needed to go, mile after mile. It continues to run flawlessly, even with its original clutch and rear brakes! Last year I purchased a new Subaru Crosstrek, figuring that my Saturn couldn’t go on forever. The Subaru has been sitting for months, waiting for its garagemate to go to automotive Valhalla. So, do I continue to drive my reliable and economical Saturn, or put it out to pasture so I can drive my more comfortable Subaru? — Pat Look, Pat: If you’ve driven a base-model Saturn SL for 305,000 miles, you have done your penance. No further bad luck will ever befall you. And since it’s never left you stranded, now is an excellent time to quit while you’re ahead — and you are ahead.

Of course, I probably would have said that to you if you’d written to me 150,000 miles ago.

But seriously, you have a nice new car. It’s sitting in the garage depreciating. It also will be reliable (cars, in general, are much more reliable than they were 16 years ago). not to mention safer, more comfortable and better handling. And your backseat passengers won’t have to work around that stripper pole.

I think you should donate the Saturn to some high-school or college kid who needs a car to get to school or work. That should go a long way toward eliminating any guilt you feel about moving on. Your old Saturn can continue to serve honorably.

You’ve more than gotten your money’s worth out of the Saturn. And it’s likely that its longevity was, at least in part, related to you.

You probably drive gently and take good care of your cars. So there’s no reason to think your new Subaru won’t also keep going until you’re sick of it and it’s an embarrassment to your friends and family.

Dear Car Talk: Help! After almost 60 years of driving, I have two questions that have me puzzled.

On my new 2018 Nissan Murano, they are recommending a brake fluid change every 30,000 miles. I have never heard of this — I thought that other than adding fluid due to a leak, this closed hydraulic system fluid would

SUMMER KICKOFF EVENT!

last the life of the car. Is this a necessary item, or just a way for the dealer to make money?

Secondly, the vehicle came with synthetic-blend motor oil with a 0W-20 viscosity rating. When I change the oil for the first time, I am planning to use 5W-30 HD nonsynthetic oil, as I always did with my 2006 Murano that I just traded in. Can I do this, or must I always use the synthetic blend that the vehicle came with? — Tony I’ll answer your oil question first, Tony: You should use the synthetic oil. It’s better oil. It provides better lubrication; it’ll give you better mileage and better longevity. The engineers and technicians at Nissan, who have a combined 32,700 years of college education, figured out the tolerances and the lubrication requirements for your engine, and if you use some thick, old sludge in there, you could harm the engine and void the warranty.

Regarding the brake fluid, lots of manufacturers are now recommending that you change the brake fluid every 30,000 miles.

It’s not a completely closed system. As the brake pads wear out, the fluid level drops, and some air must get in there to replace that lost fluid. There’s moisture in that air, so the brake fluid has to absorb the moisture to keep water from rusting the brake lines, the

master cylinder, the caliper pistons and your ABS (antilock braking system) components.

So eventually, the brake fluid will need to be changed to protect those parts.

Whether 30,000 miles is the longest you can go, I don’t know. We do sometimes see cars with 150,000 miles on them with their original brake fluid. But I can’t recommend that approach to you.

First of all, most of those cars have had a “de-facto” brake fluid change somewhere along the way, when they sprung a leak or had major brake work done.

Second, the risk with old brake fluid is that it gets saturated with water and can no longer hold enough water in suspension. Then the water starts to corrode your brake components. You probably can guess what happens after that (it ends with a brake pedal that goes to the floor and you uttering a four-letter word). Or, if you’re lucky enough to catch it earlier, you’ll end up spending hundreds of dollars to replace brake parts, and using that same two-word phrase when you see the bill.

So I would say if it’s not prohibitively expensive — and I’d say the job should be in the neighborhood of $100 to $150 for an average car — it’s a small price to pay every 30,000 miles for peace of mind.

Jeremy Jones

Jeremy Jones.

Aerial Drone Photographer/Videographer Jeremy Jones is the founder/owner of 603 Drones in Goffstown, a part of 603 Media Group.

Can you explain what your current job is?

We offer a variety of aerial drone photography and videography services for commercial and private clients, as well as more complex aerial site surveying, thermal imaging and structural inspections for agricultural and industrial clients. As the owner, I handle all administrative and business functions, but I’m also a licensed drone operator and handle jobs out in the field.

What do you wish you’d known at the beginning of your career?

I wish I had gone to school for marketing, because it’s such a tough thing to do, particularly in today’s world.

I’m certified as an FAA Part 107 pilot and have extensive experience flying multiple Small Unmanned Aircraft System platforms [drones] in commercial applications. I’m also well-versed in both state and federal regulations as they relate to commercial versus hobbyist SUAS operations.

What is your typical at-work uniform?

It depends on the job site. If we know we’re going to be in a residential or commercial area, I usually wear a button-down or polo with our logo. If we’re working in an industrial environment or construction area, we always wear any appropriate safety gear.

How did you find your current job?

I decided I didn’t want to work for “the man” anymore and ventured out on my own.

• Mixology Shakedown results: Bartender James LaPlante of The Inn at Thorn Hill & Spa in Jackson is the winner of this year’s Mixology Shakedown cocktail competition, taking home both the Judge’s Choice and People’s Choice awards and winning the $1,000 cash prize. About 60 people attended the second annual event, which was held on May 14 at O Steaks & Seafood in Concord. LaPlante, Timeena Hartford from Jumpin’ Jay’s Fish Cafe in Portsmouth and Rebecca Paine from Fireworks Restaurant in Keene competed to make the best craft cocktail using West Cork Bourbon Cask Irish whiskey. LaPlante’s cocktail contained tawny port, maple syrup and Angostura bitters, while Hartford made hers with honey-fennel simple syrup, Barrow’s Intense Ginger Liqueur, fresh squeezed lemon juice and candied ginger, and Paine’s had sarsaparilla spiced simple syrup, a splash of cream, egg white and soda water. A $5 specialty West Cork cocktail, with peach schnapps, margarita mix, blackberries, simple syrup, mint leaves and soda water, was also served courtesy of Nick LaBrie of Canoe Restaurant and Tavern in Bedford.

• O’Sheas opens in Londonderry: A new coffee shop with an atmosphere inspired

by Irish pubs is now open in Londonderry. O’Sheas Caife & Tae held its grand opening on May 3, according to owner and Londonderry native Carmel Shea. O’Sheas is located at 44 Nashua Road in Londonderry and is open seven days a week, offering pastries like Irish soda bread and scones, cream drinks, breakfast sandwiches and bagels, in addition to making its own butters and whipped cream cheeses. A lunch menu of sandwiches, salads, BLTs and grilled cheeses is also offered, plus smoothies and smoothie bowls, which Shea described as having a similar consistency to frozen yogurt; they are made from scratch using a variety of fruits and sometimes vegetables like spinach or kale. Shea, whose mother comes from Galway, Ireland, said the town of Londonderry was originally settled by Irish immigrants, inspiring her to open a cafe to capture the spirit of Irish pubs. O’Sheas Caife & Tae is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visit osheasnh.com, find them on Facebook or call the cafe at 540-2971.

Summer farmers markets are setting up shop across southern New Hampshire.

Some have already opened for the season, while others will kick off within the next several weeks.

While some markets are year-round and others are opening seasonally, President Karen Steuer of the Bedford Farmers Market said summer farmers markets are great to get some locally grown items that are in their peak growing season during this time of year, such as strawberries, blueberries, peaches, greens, tomatoes, corn and more.

“In the summertime, it’s all fresh veggies and fruits like strawberries, blueberries, peaches, tomatoes, cucumbers, things like that,” Steuer said, “whereas in the winter you’ll primarily see root veggies like onions, carrots and squashes. …

Everything is grown right here in New Hampshire too, so it’s a great way to support your neighbors.”

Several of the markets also feature fresh eggs, cheeses, breads, jams, jellies, and meats, plus live music, craft vendors, cooking demonstrations, activities for kids, beer, wine and mead tastings and more. Check out the markets’ websites and Facebook pages for more details and for other special happenings.

Pembroke couple Sonya and Josh Philbrick love fresh made-to-order smoothies — so much so that when they moved back to New Hampshire from Florida they began to search for a go-to smoothie shop. But then Sonya Philbrick had an ambitious idea.

“I was literally just taking a shower and I thought to myself, ‘We should open a smoothie bus,’” Sonya Philbrick said, “and we got on our phones and were searching for used buses, and I think within like a few days, we had bought a bus. It was the craziest thing.”

That was in February, she said, and just three months later, The Smoothie Bus is now ready to roll. Philbrick said that while the bus has not yet established a set location, it’s fully licensed to make smoothie deliveries. It has already made several across Manchester and other towns to businesses like Bonneville and Son, Orangetheory Fitness and Manchester Osteopathic Consultants.

The Smoothie Bus is also booked for a few local events later this year, including the Manchester Brewfest on July 28 and the Mutt Strut on Sept. 16 to benefit Manchester Animal Shelter, and the Philbricks are looking to do business at upcoming local 5Ks and Old Home Days, or even private events like baby showers and birthday parties.

“We’re thinking of it sort of like a canteen truck, so a business can call us up and say, ‘OK, how about you stop every Wednesday at a certain time,’ and that will be the time that we show up,” she said.

Josh Philbrick said all smoothies are made fresh on site.

“Nothing is premade. We’re not going to make anything until we get there,” he said, “because if a smoothie is sitting there for five, 10, 15 minutes, stuff can start to separate, so they are much better made fresh right then and there.”

According to Sonya Philbrick, all the smoothies are made with a mixture of fresh and frozen fruits — no purees, artificial juices or fruit syrups. The menu features a combination of traditional flavors like strawberry banana and pina colada, and other innovative flavors Josh Philbrick said were created after several trial-and-error tastings. For example, some of the more popular flavors so far have been a blueberry oatmeal smoothie mixed with blueberries, cinnamon and rolled oats, and the “Green Machine” smoothie, which has mango, pineapple, bananas, apples and kale. There’s also a “Coffee Express” smoothie, which has bananas and cold brew coffee.

All smoothies come in one 20-ounce size for $6.40 and are made with nonfat milk, but you can replace that with almond milk or coco-

nut water for an extra 50 cents. The Philbricks have taken the menu a step further with other add-ons and an accompanying explanation of their health benefits. You can add ginkgo biloba to your smoothie to improve memory, or add flaxseed as a source of antioxidants and fiber, or add goji powder, which Sonya Philbrick said is known as a “fountain of youth” for aging skin.

“We know that people love to be healthy and to do whatever they can to help their bodies, and so we figured that would be something more they could add if they wanted to focus on something specific,” Josh Philbrick said. “With most of them, it’s such a little amount that it doesn’t change the taste of the smoothie at all.

It’s just giving you an extra boost of nutrition.”

The Smoothie Bus is a former ice cream truck the Philbricks bought from its previous owner in Pennsylvania. Its interior underwent a complete overhaul that included the addition of both a three-bay sink and a handwashing sink, plus electrical outlets.

“The lady we bought it from had two freezers in there, and that was basically all she had,” Josh Philbrick said. “So it took a lot of planning and knowing what sizes would fit there, but everything just kind of went together.”

The outside of the vehicle, which was covered in ice cream stickers when the Philbricks bought it, was completely redesigned, with a yellow background, pink text and pictures of fruits to make it pop.

Sonya Philbrick said if you work at or own a business in the area and want The Smoothie Bus to come to you, you can reach them through Facebook or by calling the number seen on the bus.

“We are actually trying to find places where we’ll be allowed to just sit for a block of time so that people can come find us,” she said. “But right now, if you want us to just pop in and give it a try, you can call us.”

Debbie McCabe-Atamanchuk of Merrimack is the owner of Bite Me Kupcakez (4 Mound Court, Merrimack, 674-4459, bitemekupcakez.com), a gluten-free bakery offering several goodies like cupcakes, cookies and brownies, plus breakfast and lunch options five days a week that include soups and sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, Belgian waffles, daily special paninis, and baked goods like muffins and scones.

All products are made with rice flour or rice milk — no wheat or dairy — and organic products are also utilized regularly. McCabe-Atamanchuk, whose kids help out both by baking and on the marketing side of the business, opened the current storefront last year, but she has been baking gluten-free goodies for customers since 2010. Bite Me Kupcakez also offers catering for weddings, baby showers and other large parties.

MAKING SUMMERS AMAZING FOR 78 YEARS!

Tasty food from fresh ingredients

Bell peppers I buy bell peppers every single week. I find them incredibly versatile. They are delicious raw, perfect in a Mexican dish and a must in a stir-fry. I enjoy every color and can always find them in good condition at the market.

Since peppers love warm environments, they’re not particularly easy to grow outside in New Hampshire. Certain local farms have them (starting from seed in a greenhouse, no doubt) and I can always find plant starts at my local farmers market, but I rarely have luck! Peppers love the heat and since they take around 80 days to mature, our summers are just a bit too short to guarantee a good crop. Unsurprisingly, California grows the majority of bell peppers in the United States. My hope is to have a greenhouse one day and you’d better believe bell peppers will be first on my list of vegetables to grow!

Most notably, bell peppers contain a ton of vitamin C, 157 percent of one’s daily value per cup to be exact (according to whfoods.org). They’re also rich in vitamins B6 and A, and contain around 10 percent DV of folate. Since they’re quite low in calories, 29 per cup, they offer incredible bang for your buck. They’re filling and nutritious Italian Stuffed Bell Peppers 4 red bell peppers, with tops cut off to make a deep “bowl” 1 pound ground chicken 1 zucchini, cut into small cubes 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese 1/2 glass jar marinara sauce 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil Optional: cooked pasta

but won’t put you over the edge on calorie consumption if you’re watching your weight.

Here are my top five uses for bell peppers: Raw in salads. Try mixed greens, peppers, blue cheese, avocado and balsamic!

Sliced in stir-fry. Heat some sesame oil on high in a wok and cook preferred protein. Add broccoli, carrots, peppers and water chestnuts once meat is cooked. Stir in your favorite sauce!

Sliced in fajitas. Heat some oil over high heat (I always use olive oil). Sauté your favorite protein (shrimp? chicken? beef?) until cooked and then add onions and peppers. Serve hot over tortillas with yummy fixings like guacamole and sour cream.

Dipped in hummus. So easy, so simple.

Great for kiddos. Just slice them and serve them.

Stuffed! See my featured recipe below for details.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in frying pan over medium high. Brown meat, then add seasoning and zucchini, cooking and stirring frequently for about 4 minutes.

Dole out meat mixture into the four peppers (if you have extra, put into a small crock or just use more peppers). Place peppers on baking sheet (I recommend with foil underneath). Top with a layer of marinara, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until top is browned. Serve hot and with pasta, if you like.

The Jarvis family officially opened Black Bear Vineyard out of their home in Salisbury almost two years ago, in what was supposed to be a “soft opening” year.

But after some attention from WMURTV’s annual “best winery in the state” poll (they were named third) and some word of mouth, they ran out of wine by fall.

In fact, by the time I visited they were almost out of wine.

I recently had the chance to catch up with owners Ted and Kelly Jarvis during a Mother’s Day visit with my mom, making sure I went early enough in the season.

We were in luck, because this year they partnered with a chocolatier, La Cascade du Chocolat, based in Exeter, which made chocolates to complement each of their wines. I’ve only ever had red wines paired with chocolate, so I was skeptical at first, but my doubts went away once I tried the pairings. And the chocolate was really good, too.

They currently have five wines available, all made from grapes grown right on site in the vineyard:

This Brooklyn threesome delights in ignoring the last decade-plus of middle-of-the-road indie that’s come out of their borough, and for that alone they deserve some attention.

Picture early Cure, Lords of the New Church, Warlocks and the slightest dab of Florence and the Machine all power-chugging beers in the corner of a scuzzy bar and you’re there.

Usually I tool on bands that try to cover too many bases on their debut, and I probably should in this case, but I personally have no problem with anything here. Vocal-wise, Digo Degorio wants to be Tom Petty even when he’s punking out, while Jenna Best obviously thinks Garbage and Siouxsie are awesome and has faith that her band can compete with past greatness at some level. We’ll see; alternating between Los Campesinos’ and Warlocks’ guitar sound is one thing, getting it to make sense is quite another. But again, it works, I’m being real about that. A — Eric W. Saeger Shadowkeep, Shadowkeep (Pure Steel Records)

I always tell my heavy metal homies that if you’re not getting enough love from the American press (a situation that probably won’t be changing for, well, ever, at the current rate), just target Japan and Europe.

The caveat is that some of the overseas natives are actually quote good, like this unit, which our Baby Judas Priest desk sent over in case I might still have hope in the 50-year-old genre. The singer has Rob Halford down to a science – in fact he’s even better (his trilling is all-pro, like Dio, if you have any idea what that means).

The riffing is also top-level, owing much to power-metallers like Savatage on the dugga-dugga side and Metallica on the my-what-pretty-guitar-arpeggiosyou-have side. But hold onto your hats, demons and ghouls, the lead guitarist has to be rated up there with Yngwie Malmsteen, like, he’s awesome, and not even in an annoying way. Again, though, don’t try this at home. A — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • Geez, nearly all the new releases coming for May 25 are, to me, Return of the Living Dead. For starters, I can’t remember the last time I even thought about Snow Patrol, but they’ve got an LP called Wildness heading our way right now! But yeah, hey man, whatever happened to these guys anyway? I remember back in the day, when local bands were looking for members, their Phoenix ads would all read “Must like Killers, Snow Patrol, Franz Ferdinand” and blah blah blah, which was code for “We hope to get our totally rebellious indie-pop songs on Toyota commercials as soon as possible so that we can open a vape shop in Somerville and invest in cryptocurrencies.” Remember those days? Yep, Snow Patrol was big, and their last album, Fallen Empires, came out in 2011. Ha, it was so bad back then, I remember the New York Times critic trying to think of some way to disguise his real thoughts on that album; he actually, actually wrote “What makes this all feel reasonably unforced is the abiding earnestness in the songwriting.” If I recall, I was fairly nice to it, or maybe I just barfed and wrote “BLGGHHH,” I forget. Whatever, let’s go see what these “post-Britpop” (eye roll) chaps are doing now, at the YouTube station. … Wait, it says here the singer told NME he had writer’s block and ended up scrapping all the songs but then wrote a bunch of “mind boggling” tunes for this new record. My mind is ready to be boggled, how about you? To YouTube! Look, it’s the video for the single “Don’t Give In.” The singer looks like Bob Dylan after not showering for a month. This sounds like that Heart song from the 1980s, “What About Love,” except for the strummy guitars. I have my YouTube paused while I check to see if my mind has been boggled yet, or whatever he was babbling about. Nope, it hasn’t, let’s un-pause and see if this gets more interesting than hair-pop tunes from 1982. Why are there acrobats jumping over a roof in the background? OK, the song doesn’t really have a hook, per se, just the verse part played a little louder. That’s kind of dumb, but their earnestly unforced boggling of whatever will make easily tunedout sports-bar ambience, enabling people to eat their “bloomin’ onions” in peace, without being distracted by good music, which is such a pain.

• Hoobastank, yes, it’s those guys. Told you this week’s list conjured some sort of retro dream about bands I assumed were doing nothing other than touring 4-H Fairs in Kansas. Push Pull, their first album in six years, features the single “More Beautiful,” a truly awful combination of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. and One Direction.

• Hmm, I may need to rethink my Bands Who I Thought Were Zombies angle for this week’s rundown, since our next guests, Glasgow synth-pop Chvrches, actually did have an LP out within the last four years. I didn’t much care for it, which happens so often that it all becomes a blur. The new record, Love Is Dead, includes an OK song, called “Get Out,” a buzzy, 1980s-synthpop song with a shoegaze-goth edge and a Ke$ha hook. It’s good, let’s keep going.

• Pretty sure we’ve listened in on Jenny Hval, a Norwegian art-pop singer who often goes by the pseudonym Rockettothesky. Her new EP, The Long Sleep, is on the way for May 25, and spotlights the tune “Spells,” in which she makes like a weird moonbat sorority roommate doing a karaoke of Glen Frey’s horrible 1980s hit “You Belong to the City.” — Eric W. Saeger

Independent bookstore opens in Manchester

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Book lovers in the Manchester area finally have a place to call home. The Bookery, an independent bookstore and the only one of its kind in the Queen City, celebrated its grand opening last week on Elm Street, in the space formerly occupied by Alpha Loft.

Founder Liz Hitchcock and general manager Liz Cipriano have been working on the concept for years. There was a need, they said, for a new kind of hangout destination in downtown.

“Say you’ve already eaten dinner, and you’ve already seen your entertainment at the Palace [Theatre],” Hitchcock said.

“If you’re not interested in bars, there isn’t much else to do.”

“This [bookstore] is an alternative for people who aren’t into the bar scene,” Cipriano added. “We’re serving a part of the population that didn’t currently have a space like this.”

The layout of The Bookery is open and spacious, with different sections of books labeled by genre, including a children’s section, complete with a life-sized decorative tree that juts out from the wall and has branches, illuminated by twinkling lights, that curl up and extend across the ceiling. There are a number of nooks where people can sit and flip through a book, plus a living room-style area with a couch and chairs surrounding a “fireplace” — it’s a television screen with a video simulation of a fire — and a multishelved mantel, filled with books.

“We wanted to create these separate areas where you can relax, that are private but still part of the entire space,” Cipriano said.

“We want it to feel homey,” Hitchcock added. “We want people to feel comfortable and spend some time here.”

The back half of the store is occupied by a cafe and dining area, where people can grab some light fare like soups, salads, sandwiches and pastries, or a beverage. The menu has a selection of coffee, tea, beer and wine.

The Bookery plans to maintain an active schedule of community events, such as author visits and book signings, live music, kids activities and storytimes, workshops and TED Talks-like lectures on various topics by teachers and professors from local institutions. There’s also a conference room in the back of the store that Hitchcock and Cipriano decided to retain as a place for book clubs, birthday parties and other gatherings.

“We believe bookstores are extremely important for the community,” Hitchcock said. “They take on the personality of the community they’re in, kind of like the heart and soul of the community.”

The Bookery’s inventory is thoughtfully curated by store staff to include a range of genres, with a particularly sizeable selection for kids and young adults, which is the largest and fastest-growing market for book sales, Hitchcock said. It also includes a selection of books with a New Hampshire focus and books by New Hampshire authors.

“It’s fascinating to me how we have these amazing places for visual artists, like the Currier [Museum of Art], and performing artists, like the Palace [Theatre], but nothing for the literary arts,” Hitchcock said. “Now, there is a place that local authors can identify as their home.”

Bookstores are as relevant today as they were before the digital age, Hitchcock said; they’re just used differently.

Many people who are looking for a particular book will buy the book online rather than search for it at their local bookstores. It’s when they don’t know what to read next, she said, that people head to the bookstore.

“We have a staff here that is extremely [well-read]. We’re book folk,” Hitchcock said. “We can help you find that special little hidden gem.”

“And we hope that people ask for it,” Cipriano said.

erating with Falk’s investigation?

Perhaps an animal got Alice? Or perhaps whatever happened to Alice was connected to a serial killer who once stalked the Giralang Ranges? There are rumors the killer’s son is still alive and that he has a place deep in the Giralang Ranges where he had escaped to.

Harper does a beautiful job creating these seemingly endless possibilities, without giving any one avenue too much credence. When I read a mystery, my head typically jumps from one possibility to the next, and while the possibilities seem to expand as the novel goes on, the narrative is more grounded.

Falk, who is starring in his second novel

by Harper, is a wonderful lead and I particularly enjoyed how Harper explored Falk’s relationship with his late estranged father.

The reader discovers Falk holds his father’s backpack, which contains a series of trail maps, including from the Giralang Ranges, with his father’s personal notes. The notes provide a connection for Falk and a window into a deeper understanding of his relationship with his father.

“But as he looked at the page, he still felt a jolt. When had his dad made that particular pencil mark? At their home sitting at the kitchen table, or perhaps standing at the trailhead 200 meters and 10 years from where Falk stood now?”

Despite the layers, I call this a thoughtful page-turner because Harper organizes everything so well. At no time was the narrative overwhelming. The pacing is tremendous, as is the descriptive language that creates a vivid scene and mood.

Force of Nature will take you through a series of twists and turns, but it will also make you think — hard — about the relationships you have with others. B+ — Jeff Mucciarone

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Deadpool 2 (R)

ten by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick & Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool 2 is an hour and 59 minutes long and distributed by Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp.

Ryan Reynolds and his meta gallows humor suit up for another round in Deadpool 2, the R-rated sequel to that most R-rated of superhero movies.

Wherever bad guys lurk, Wade Wilson (Reynolds), a.k.a. Deadpool, shows up to kill and quip, both with a kind of giddiness.

Perhaps the extra spring in his step comes from his happy home life with Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), who celebrates their anniversary by telling him she’s stopped her birth control and is ready to have children. Wade is delighted but, well, a happy couple about to start a family might as well be a cop on his last day before retirement or a girl in a horror movie just going to check that noise in the basement.

After an unfinished mission comes back to hit Wade where it hurts the most, he finds himself bereft and ready to end it all.

Except, as you may remember, one of the few things this supercharged human with the skin of a worn out basketball can’t do is die. Colossus (voice of Stefan Kapicic), an X-Men buddy, tries to pick Deadpool up by getting him to join the team. But whitehat heroism is not so much Deadpool’s thing and when that goes wrong he winds up in the ice box, a supermax prison for mutants where collars dampen their superpowers. One of Wilson’s superpowers, as he reminds us, is not dying of the cancer attacking his body at multiple points.

Imminent death is actually fine with him, but Russell (Julian Dennison), the young mutant teenager (his power is fire-related) taken to prison with Deadpool, has taken a shine to him. When time-traveling super soldier Cable (Josh Brolin) shows up hunting the teen, Wilson eventually decides to try to save Russell.

There’s a fair amount of plot in this nearly two-hour movie: Cable and his back story, Russell and his whole deal, Deadpool’s very obvious character arc, some X-Men-universe business (such as the introduction of the X-Force, about which the only thing I really knew was that it was

James Bond!) in addition to the X-Men comic book material, you don’t need to get all the references to enjoy the movie overall. And I think I did enjoy this movie; I’ll give the edge to “enjoyment” over “tired out by” even if the race between those two things was neck-and-neck.

Much of what made the first Deadpool fun was how tonally and stylistically unique it was. It was unlike previous superhero movies in the way it mixed colorful action, some self-consciously goofy superhero conventions and the meta commentary on same, hard-core potty mouth and extravagant violence. Deadpool 2 is still unlike the other superhero movies — unlike fellow “unique among the genre” movies such as Black Panther or Wonder Woman, for example. But those two movies in particular — and the recent very solid Avengers: Infinity War — have, I think, found new things to do in the genre, new kinds of stories to tell. Deadpool 2 tells a familiar story: about a hero (of a sort) trying to find a way to move on after loss and, especially toward the end, about a ragtag group of supers creating a found family. (Brianna Hildebrand’s Negasonic Teenage Warhead

returns and we meet the awesome Domino, Zazie Beetz, whose power is indeed extraordinary luck.)

That’s a pretty oft-told tale told in a nowfamiliar style, the Deadpool style, full of looks at the camera and jokes about the X-Men franchise and quips about the writing. At times, all of this feels like the kid who just won’t stop telling you potty jokes or repeating the new swear word he just learned — yes, yes, you’re very edgy. But there is actually some emotion behind it all. There are even some interesting stakes.

Not the most interesting stakes ever or rich and complex emotion, but enough of both to keep the movie from being completely superficial. Deadpool 2 might delight in its self-consciously naughty style but there is actually some substance there.

I don’t know that this particular trick will work a third time; this movie doesn’t have quite the punch of the first one. (And if the first one wasn’t for you, I doubt this one will change your mind at all.) But, if you were any kind of fan of the first Deadpool, you will probably have more fun than not at this second outing. BRated R for strong violence and language throughout, sexual references and brief drug material, according to the MPAA. Directed by David Leitch and writ-

A longtime group of friends pick Fifty Shades of Grey as their monthly read in Book Club, a marketing pitch that somebody forgot to write a real story for.

I buy that book clubs read Fifty Shades.

I buy that these Boomer-aged ladies, one of whom actually dumped her husband because he wasn’t intellectual enough for her taste, may read Fifty Shades. I don’t know that I can buy all of that and believe they haven’t read it until now and that it’s the first book they’ve read since the 1970s with any hot sex in it.

Sharon (Candice Bergen) is a judge who hasn’t dated since she dumped her intellectually unstimulating husband nearly two decades ago. Luxury hotel owner Vivian (Jane Fonda) dates constantly, but wants only physical, never emotional, connections.

Diane’s (Diane Keaton) husband died a year ago and she’s trying to resist her daughters’ request that she move from southern California to Arizona where she can live in one of their basements. Chef/restaurant-owner Carol (Mary Steenburgen) is still happily married to Bruce (Craig T. Nelson), though their passionate relationship has become a little quieter in the months since he retired.

The book gets the women reconsidering their relationships or lack thereof. Or, actually, only Sharon really reconsiders anything and takes an active step: She joins a dating site and starts going out on dates. Her scenes are the most real-feeling bits of this movie. Vivian and Diane stumble into relationships through happenstance meetings: Vivian with old flame Arthur (Don Johnson) and Diane with pilot Mitchell (Andy Garcia). Carol, meanwhile, exists entirely in the movie-world of “wackiness” where, instead of talking to her husband, she does things like lace his drink with Viagra.

her grandkids and therefore actually facing some hard choices about what to do with her life. Instead, she and Mitchell are just sort of together until the movie needs them to be apart and then apart until the movie needs them to be together.

Book Club isn’t even the sort of mild junk-food treat that the actual Fifty Shades of Grey movie was, with its hilarious contract negotiation scene and just-this-side-of-winking from lead Dakota Johnson (daughter of Don).

With a few exceptions, the movie doesn’t even make great use of its four strong leads to create a pleasant tale of friendship. Book Club is at best an idea, which assembled a decent cast but never really figured out how to do anything interesting with it all. CRated PG-13 for sex-related material throughout and for language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Bill Holderman and written by BIll Holderman and Erin Simms, Book Club is an hour and 44 minutes long and distributed by Paramount Pictures Corporation.

With its copious amounts of real estate porn and magazine-ishly unreal food spreads, Book Club felt like all packaging, no actual product. The movie throws cartoonish obstacles in the way of the women finding happiness (which could be often overcome with a pretty simple conversation) but has very little real conflict. The situations crafted here could involve some real complexity of emotion (which could lead to some smart comedy and more meaningful emotional beats) but the movie seems to go to lengths to smooth away anything that could lead to any kind of actual struggle.

Late in the film, Diane’s tells Mitchell that her relationship with her late husband had, on an emotional level, ended years before his death. And, though she cites some kind of vague sense of needing to “be there” for her daughters, nothing really stands between her and a relationship with Mitchell. How much more interesting their relationship could have been if she was wrestling with her feelings for her late husband or was helping take care of

• Little axe: Ukulele master and ambassador Jake Shimabukuro reminds aspiring musicians that it’s easy and fun to play the demure four-string guitar. More challenging however, is wielding the instrument like he does; the Hawaiian native’s shredding draws comparisons to Jimi Hendrix, and his elaborate musical textures are Miles Davis-like.

Go Thursday, May 24, 8 p.m., New Tupelo Music Hall, 10 A St., Derry, Tickets are $30 to $50 at tupelohall.com.

• New do: The renamed Thirsty Turtle has weekly DJ dance music, but Hunter will bring back memories of the old place as they work though songs from their latest album and ramp up for lots of summer touring. The pop rock charmers’ second effort, Listen to Hunter, is hook-filled like their 2015 debut.

Go Friday, May 25, 8 p.m., R’evolution Sports Bar, 8 Temple St., Nashua. See facebook.com/Hunterbandofficial.

• Twofer: Comparisons to Imogen Heap and Rubblebucket greet Imunuri, a female-fronted Brooklyn band with a sound described as “psychedelic funk.” The evening’s booty-shaking vibe continues with Room to Move, a blues rock and soul cover band with a difference; their goal is deconstructing the old format and wrapping each song in improvisation, never playing any the same way twice. Go Friday, May 25, 8 p.m., Shaskeen Pub, 909 Elm St., Manchester. See /bit.ly/2rZBy64.

• Beantown laughs: Enjoy two of Boston’s top comics, Dave Russo and Jody Sloane, at Rochester’s newest comedy club.

Russo is known for hosting NESN’s Dirty Water TV and appearances at Denis Leary’s Comics Come Home fundraisers. Sloane honed her craft as a Duck Tours host and is one of the funniest stand-ups around. Go Saturday, May 26 (also May 25), 8:30 p.m, at Curlie’s Comedy Club, 12 Union St., Rochester. Tickets $10.50 at curliescomedy.com.

Raised in a progressive home and taught to play by Pete and John Seeger, activism is a constant in Avi Salloway’s life and art. During the past decade, he’s performed in world crisis spots, from the Palestinian territories to Standing Rock, always delivering a message of music’s power to heal and bring change.

This urge accelerated in 2013, when Salloway joined up with Taureg guitar master Bombino, traveling the world as tour manager and fill-in band member for three years.

What he witnessed — strife in the Sahara desert, the ravages of colonization and other struggles — shaped the songs he wrote for the second album from his band, Billy Wylder.

“It was such an eye-opening wide journey,” Salloway said in a recent phone interview.

“It’s hard to even synthesize the spiritual experience into words, but it definitely transcended into my own musicality, songwriting and guitar-playing.”

The group will previews songs from the new disc, called Strike the Match, at Nashua’s Riverwalk Cafe on June 1. It’s a diverse and wide-ranging effort, with moments of airy psychedelia (“Great Blue Heron,” with Lake Street Dive’s Bridget Kearney adding lush harmony), swampy blues rock (“Medicine Mama”), campfire folk (“Til Your Well Runs Dry”) and crunchy rock (“Fourth of July”).

All the disc’s songs are infused with Salloway’s worldview.

“In the name of liberty, a nation filled with sin,” Salloway sings at one point. A comment on the impact of climate change in Bombino’s native Niger is especially poignant: “We pray before you, our sacred land/you stand on the mountain with guns in your hand … can’t drink the oil, whatcha gonna do when your well runs dry?”

Traveling with Bombino, who opened for Robert Plant for part of the tour, was transfor-

mative for Salloway.

“Getting to experience how influential music has been in the Tuareg culture as a form of building solidarity and morale against pretty extreme conditions [and] all the layers of colonization and capitalism creeping its way into a genocide of their people, really, to seeing how music was this lifeblood rising up out of the struggle, just kept on reinforcing my belief in the power of music and action and mobilization,” he said.

Salloway brought that energy back home, where he recruited several friends to augment the quartet, which includes Rob Flax on fiddle and synthesizer, Krista Speroni playing bass and drummer Zamar Odongo; all members sing. Like their first album, much of the record was done at Providence’s Columbus Theater, a space run by his pals in the band Low Anthem.

“It is a pretty unique singular space … just a creative wonderland,” Salloway said of the renovated opera house, built in 1926. “We felt a magnetic pull to just go back there. I think the space opened up how we approached recording, and it was a pretty organic way of building the musical team.”

Guests included Jeremy Gustin (David Byrne, Albert Hammond, Jr.), keyboard player Alexander Anderson, Australian bassist Lucy Clifford and Lula Wiles vocalist Isa Burke.

“This band is tied to musical and personal friendships that I have had for a while,” Salloway said. “I wanted to bring in that family spirit ... that is really the intention of inviting the people that we did on the record.”

Kearney was away with her own band when Salloway asked her to contribute, but that didn’t deter her.

“I sent her the song and asked her to sing,” he said. “She had a preamp on her tour bus and said, ‘I have a good microphone, I’ll just give it a try.’ The next day she sent me her beautiful vocal performance.”

For Salloway, the 11-song, Kickstarterfunded record represents “a musical thread coming together” shaped by his time with Bombino.

“There’s this angle of West African music, which I see as a primary source for a lot of American folk and rock, and there’s definitely some experimental sonic territory that we get into,” he said. “It feels like a formative work for me as an artist; I think thematically, it’s the most evolved piece of work that I have done.”

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

The naked truth

Letitia Chai, Cornell University class of 2018, arrived at her “Acting in Public: Performance in Everyday Life” class on May 2 ready to present a trial run of her senior thesis wearing a button-down shirt and cutoff denim shorts. Professor Rebekah Maggor was displeased, however, and asked Chai, “Is that really what you would wear?” She referred specifically to Chai’s “too short” shorts and told Chai that her clothing choices would distract “men’s attention” from the content of her presentation. Chai left the room, but soon returned wearing just her undergarments and delivered the entirety of her presentation. On May 5, she returned to the classroom to officially present her thesis and stripped down again, with more than two dozen others in the room joining her in their underwear. Chai posted on Facebook about the incidents, telling The Cornell Daily Sun she wanted to raise awareness about this “huge societal issue.”

Try the decaf

In Hudson, Florida, Brandon Donald McCray, 47, came unglued on May 1 after discovering two of his socks missing. When suspicion fell on his roommate, Frank Smith, 53, McCray attacked him with a sword, according to WTVT. The attack continued as McCray also struck and injured two women living at the home. Pasco County Sheriff’s deputies said Smith nearly lost several fingers trying to defend himself. Deputies arrested McCray at a neighbor’s house on charges of attempted homicide and battery.

Cliche comes to life

Dimitri the Husky can thank a Good Samaritan for reporting that someone was abusing a dog in Lantana, Florida, on May 10. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s officers arrived at the apartment home of Patrick Shurod Campbell, 27, where two roommates said Campbell “beat the hell” out of Dimitri, the Palm Beach Post reported.

Officers found the 2-year-old dog locked in a dark closet, shaking and submissive, with a bloody ear. Campbell told police he had bitten the dog to “establish dominance.”

Campbell was charged with aggravated animal cruelty; Dimitri was turned over to Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control for treatment and re-homing.

As finals were ramping up at the University of Utah at the end of April, one student’s class project went viral: Senior Nemo Miller created a stand-alone closet, placed in the J. Willard Marriott Library, where stressed-out students could go for a good cry. KSL TV reported The Cry Closet (#cryclosetuofu) caught on quickly; even

with a suggested 10-minute limit, @Gemini tweeted, “I stayed 11 mins but feel so much better thank you to whoever built this. Can we add a box of tissues please?”

Miller filled the closet with stuffed animals and soft materials. “I think everyone just needs a safe space sometimes,” she said, “even if it’s in a very public place.”

Armed and clumsy

Fort Dodge, Iowa, may not exactly be the Wild West, but tell that to Balew, the pit bull-lab mix belonging to 51-year-old Richard Remme. As Remme and Balew roughhoused at home on May 9, Balew bounded back up onto the couch, where, according to The Messenger, he managed to shoot his owner in the leg. “I carry in a belly band, under my bib overalls,” Remme told the newspaper. “And apparently he bumped the safety one time, and when he bounded back over one of his toes went right down into the trigger guard,” he explained. Remme didn’t realize he’d been shot until his pant leg started to turn purple.

Balew, however, “thought he was in trouble for doing something wrong,” Remme said.

He “laid down beside me and cried.”

A French museum dedicated to the work of painter Etienne Terrus announced April 27 that more than half of its collection from the 19th-century artist are forgeries.

The Terrus museum in Elne, where Terrus was born, gathered a group of experts to inspect the works after a visiting art historian noticed some of the paintings depict buildings that were not constructed until after Terrus’ death. In all, 82 paintings were determined to be fake.
