GRANITE VIEWS ALLYSON RYDER

Building our future

A few weeks ago, the Leadership New Hampshire Class of 2018 meandered their way through the notches to visit our state’s North Country for their final two session days. This is always a bittersweet experience for the staff and associates in the program. On the one hand, we are so inspired to see the three dozen members of each class — who came in as relative strangers in September — come together as one, while on the other, we know that our time together will soon be coming to an end.

Over their 10-month experience, associates in the program are exposed to a wide range of issues surrounding some of the major systems in the state. From health and health care to education to criminal justice, each month offers new insights into the things that New Hampshire does well and areas where we could work to improve. The members of this year’s class learned about education funding, addressing an aging workforce, evaluating health disparities, adverse childhood experiences, and state budgeting — just to name a few.

For me, it’s hard not to feel inspired in this work. I count myself among the lucky ones as I get to witness, year over year, a group of diverse leaders coming together to work to make our state the best it can be. The participants in the program range from business to government to nonprofit professionals with a healthy mix of political ideologies and formal/informal leaders. They show up every month and are committed to furthering their own growth and development in each of the issues presented.

This week, this Class of 2018 will graduate from the program, which will bring the total graduates of the Leadership New Hampshire program to within striking distance of 1,000.

In the same week we will also select the next group, Class of 2019, and the process will begin all over again at our kickoff retreat in September at Camp Merrowvista in Tuftonboro.

Leadership New Hampshire has worked to fulfill its role: We have convened, informed and inspired the next generation of leaders in the state. Now the challenge is on you, New Hampshire, to find ways to utilize these folks, including their newfound knowledge of the state and their expanded networks, in a meaningful way to help address our state’s challenges and build on its successes.

Whether you are in elected office or serving in another capacity, reach out to these leaders and engage them in your cause. Alumni names are listed on the Leadership New Hampshire website often with a clickable link to their LinkedIn profiles. I hope you’ll connect with them.

Allyson Ryder is associate director of Leadership New Hampshire. She can be reached at Allyson.ryder@leadershipnh.org.

NEWS & NOTES

Algonquin pipeline The NH Supreme Court reversed a 2016 NH Public Utilities Commission decision that rejected Eversource’s request to use electric rates to pay for increasing capacity on the Algonquin natural gas pipeline, the Concord Monitor reported. The 1,129-mile pipeline stretches from New Jersey to Massachusetts and runs through New York and Connecticut. Eversource’s appeal was sent back to the PUC and will be reviewed separately by the NH Site Evaluation Committee.

According to the Monitor, Eversource spokesman Martin Murray said the company would seek to have the SEC revisit the PUC’s decision to deny a power purchase agreement with Hydro Quebec for the Northern Pass project, a proposed 192-mile transmission line project running from the Canadian border to Franklin. However, the SEC declined to reconsider the project, according to a news release from Eversource.

Employer tax cut In a joint statement, Governor Chris Sununu and state Department of Employment Security Commissioner George Copadis announced a 1.5-percent reduction in unemployment insurance taxes for all New Hampshire employers. UI programs pay benefits to covered workers who become involuntarily unemployed and meet eligibility requirements. The Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund last triggered a 1.5-percent tax reduction during the third quarter of 2002, which was also the last time the Trust Fund was at or above $300 million. The DES anticipates maintaining this $300 million threshold every day of the fourth quarter in 2018. In the state-

ment, Copadis said that “Because the Unemployment Trust Fund has reached levels not seen in over fifteen years, employers will receive full statutory rate reductions later this year, while still maintaining Trust Fund solvency.”

Funding mistake The New Hampshire Department of Education announced it will forward $1,483,428 to local school districts as reimbursement for an error in Smarter Balanced assessment student data. According to the DOE, 163 communities will receive between $689.80 and $110,563.47 due to the error. In 2015 and 2016, these districts didn’t receive differentiated aid for third-grade students with attainment below the proficiency cut score on the reading assessment. Gov. Chris Sununu signed SB 539 in April to appropriate the funds and facilitate sending the corrected education grants to these cities and towns.

Party change According to the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office, Tuesday, June 5, is the deadline for a voter to change party affiliation or become unaffiliated with a party before the Sept. 11 state primary election. Registered voters are generally affiliated with the political party they last voted for in a state primary. If a voter doesn’t change by the deadline, they are limited to voting on the ballot of the political party they are currently affiliated with. Unaffiliated voters may choose to vote in either party’s primary on Election Day.

More than 600 specialized tablets have been made available to the New Hampshire prison population, at no cost to the state.

The tablets can be used to make phone calls and send messages, paid for by the sender. The calls are run through the company’s inmate call management system and follow the same rules and procedures as calls from the traditional wall-mounted phones.

“They just have a little bit more access to be able to call friends and family,” said Brian Peters, vice president of facility product management education at Global Tel*Link, the Virginia-based company that provides the tablet service.

There is a feature that makes it easy to schedule calls, too, where friends and family can send the inmate a “request to call” with a specific time of day listed.

The messaging service includes the ability for friends and family to send approved images and 30-second video clips.

“We see a lot of birthday parties, we see a lot of birth announcements, we see a lot of families singing happy birthday,” Peters said.

For security purposes, inmates cannot use the tablets to make video calls. And while prisoners can’t use the tablets to access the internet freely, there are a number of other services, most of them free to use.

The tablets can interface with prison services to make commissary orders, file electronic

121163

requests and grievances and receive important documents.

Peters said there is access to a law library and educational programs through Khan Academy, where they can learn “anything from basic algebra to string theory.”

The tablets can also be used for some recreation, like listening to FM radio, streaming music or basic games.

“Anyone in prison will tell you the worst part of prison is the boredom,” Peters said.

“Boredom causes a certain amount of issues with inmates, causing trouble; there’s a certain amount of mental atrophy that takes place.”

The eight-inch tablets are sturdy, built with a clear casing and a rubber shell. Peters said it’s military drop tested. And it’s assembled using security screws to prevent tampering.

The operating system is a proprietary Android interface designed specifically for the corrections environment.

“It reminds me of the durability and reduced functionality, to some degree, of a child’s tablet,” Peters said.

New Hampshire’s deal with Global Tel*Link is a bit different than the setups that other states have, Peters said.

While other corrections departments opt for the shared tablet program or the purchase option program, New Hampshire is the only one to opt for both, he said.

Inmates can either share a tablet or pay about $150 to own their own. There’s also an option to buy a cheaper MP3 music player.

Hope director Hope for New Hampshire Recovery, a nonprofit that provides substance abuse recovery services, announced the hiring of Keith Howard as director of development. Howard directed alternative schools for 15 years and was most recently executive director of Liberty House in Manchester, a transitional program for formerly homeless veterans.

Howard will oversee long-term financial sustainability plans for Hope, which has sites in Berlin, Franklin and Manchester.

Saint Anselm Saint Anselm College in Manchester and TD Bank reached a $61.1 million taxexempt direct purchase bond deal, according to a news release from the bank. The bonds refinance existing debt and also provide $3 million in funding for the construction of a new campus welcome center. The college will save more than $500,000 in interest expense over the next five years by refinancing the bonds, which originally funded various construction projects on campus.

You bring several decades of front-office experience to the Silver Knights. Tell me a little about your background with the sport.

I’ve been a baseball nut since I was 5 years old, when I started listening to Cleveland Indians games with my dad almost every night of the season. My career in baseball has taken me across the country, and I’ll be working my 34th opening day when the Silver Knights play the North Shore Navigators on June 1. I started as an assistant GM for the San Jose Expos in 1982, which was a minor-league affiliate team of the Montreal Expos. Since then I’ve [worked] in front offices for minor-league teams in Washington, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Ohio and Connecticut. I became GM for the Saint Joseph Mustangs in Missouri in 2008, back when they only had 10 people at a game and they couldn’t even give tickets away. We renovated the stadium and ran a ton of promotions, and by the next season we had as many as 1,500 people in the stands.

low through on that formula this season, evaluate where we stand at the end of the summer and see if we need to add anything new to the equation.

But for right now I want to continue fostering the great vibe Rick Muntean we have in this town and make sure our fans always leave the stadium saying “that was a good time.”

Any major changes or events fans can look forward to at the ballpark this summer?

For our opening day on June 1, we’re going to have a ring ceremony on the field to celebrate last season’s championship, which will include skydivers landing on the field with the rings. … After the game, we’ll have a huge fireworks show. We’re also hosting the Futures Collegiate Baseball League allstar game on July 17 for the first time since 2012, which coincides with the 80th anniversary of Holman Stadium. We’re going to have a baseball showcase and skills competition and a home run derby before the game and a huge fireworks show right after, and we’re trying to book a concert for the night as well. The city has purchased every ticket to the game, and citizens of Nashua will be able to come in for free. We want to make a monster out of this thing.

What are the main functions of your job?

I’m in charge of the long-term viability of the team, which encompasses everything from community relations to developing our onfield product and, most importantly, selling tickets. I always tell people that they wouldn’t believe what it takes to sell minor-league baseball tickets. There’s a lot of creativity involved, and timely and clever promotions play a big role. There have been nights when Thoughts on the current MLB season?

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX

Antibiotic resistance

Benjamin Chan, NH’s state epidemiologist, said the regularly prescribed antibiotic erythromycin doesn’t work on some common types of pneumonia in NH anymore, according to a report from David Brooks of The Concord Monitor. Speaking at a recent antibiotic resistance conference in Concord, Chan said this inefficacy is due to health care providers’ over-prescribing the antibiotic.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: According to the CDC, $799,548 in funding was earmarked for “antibiotic resistance activities” in New Hampshire for Fiscal Year 2017. Of that funding, $556,157 went toward detection and response for emerging drug-resistant germs, while $243,391 helped fund food safety projects aimed at identifying drug-resistant foodborne bacteria to stop and solve outbreaks and improve prevention.

Cheapest car ownership

A report from GOBankingRates ranked New Hampshire as the least expensive state for car ownership in the country, with an average total three-year cost of $10,033.49. The study considered one-time and recurring costs, including sales tax, annual registration fees, title fees, average annual auto insurance premiums, estimated annual fuel costs and the average cost of yearly repairs.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: In 2014, New Hampshire increased its gas tax from 18 to 22 cents per gallon according to NHPR, the first rate hike in 23 years.

Even with the increase, it still has the lowest average gas prices of any state in New England, according to GOBankingRates.

Contaminated fish

The EPA advised anglers not to eat any fish caught in a one-mile segment of the Souhegan River in Milford due to elevated contamination from polychlorinated biphenyls. The segment starts at the Goldman Dam and ends approximately one mile upriver near Riverway East, off Elm Street.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: As part of the investigations at the Fletcher’s Paint Works and Storage Facility Superfund Site in Milford, the EPA reported excavating and disposing of approximately 32,000 cubic yards of contaminated soils and 1,500 cubic yards of contaminated sediments.

Housing authority funds

NHPR reported that New Hampshire housing authorities will receive $7.9 million in annual Capital Fund Allocations from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, including over $2 million designated for public housing in Manchester. The funds are earmarked for large-scale improvements at properties overseen by New Hampshire public housing agencies, including roof repairs and upgrades to electrical systems.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: A HUD-sponsored study released in 2010 found that necessary renovations for public housing developments across the U.S. could cost up to $26 billion..

thing I really, really, really don’t like about how young Brad does things. That would be leaving guys in with three fouls during the first half, and when they get an early fourth or even fifth one in the third period. It has not come back to bite him yet, but it will. Beyond that, he’s been as good as advertised, with the best adjustment being his response to getting sliced and diced by LeBron on Game 4 switches that left him to simply overpower Terry Rozier. In Game 5, they still switched, but then had a weakside big man run at him for another switch with Rozier rotating out to the weak side. It seemed to play a role in tiring the big fella out, which is really the only way to stop him short of triple teams that leave threepoint shooters wide open.

The Kyrie Factor: Since he went down I’ve been writing that for a complicated set of reasons Kyrie Irving may be the odd man out as the Celtics go forward. But it’s now plainly evident the one thing this Celtics group does not have is a guy who can put them on his back to score when everyone else is struggling. At different stages, several have admirably done that individually, but no one’s done it consistently. The difference between very good/dangerous teams and a great one is having a scorer like Bird, Jordan, Havlicek, LeBron, Kobe, Durant or Kareem who can be counted on to score when the building is burning down.

That’s what Kyrie is, where I think he could have been the difference in losses to Milwaukee in Game 4 and 6, Game 4 in Philly and Game 4 in Cleveland.

Love the Seven-Game Series: It’s a toeach-his-own world, but living through the ups and downs of a long series is a far more engaging fan experience to me than the loseand-it’s-over NCAA tournament format.

Against the Bucks it was a 10-day emotional rollercoaster of first thinking the Cs had them after going up 2-0, before that was turned upside down by getting smoked twice on the road. That whittled it to a best of three,

and finally a winner-take-all Game 7. You don’t get in the tournament. Then came different challenges and coaching adjustments in Round 2 vs. Philly, before another set in dealing with LeBron in Round 3. In Round 4, it’s how to slow down the high-scoring Houston or Golden State offenses and how to attack their weaker defense teams. Finally, the NBA playoffs have a far superior level of play and the x-factor of how raucous home crowd environments factor into the games and add to the viewing experience. Not all the games are hand-wringers, but for me the NBA playoffs are a one-punch knockout over the NCAA Tournament.

The Iso Game: First came the threepoint shooting takeover and now comes the onslaught of the one-on-one isolation game, which we’ll see a lot in the finals. I’m not saying it isn’t an effective strategy. But, cue the Eck – “yuck!” – it’s awful watching eight other guys just standing with nothing to do but check their stock portfolios. It’s like watching the Home Run Derby during a real game. Worst of all, it’s spread to now infect Kevin Durant, who did it almost as much as James Harden in the Houston-Golden State series. Unstoppable – sometimes. Interesting to watch – no.

The LeBron Haters: Yes, not quite Michael Jordan, but what’s not to like besides a little drama here and there? He’s a team first guy who plays hard every game, accepts the mantle of leadership that comes with greatness and delivers with awesome regularity. People here don’t like the Tom Brady haters, but he and LeBron are the same guy. They beat the detractor’s team and that’s frustrating. So they exaggerate or manufacture reality to say he’s a bad guy. I say, admire it while you can, because from George Mikan to Bill Russell to Jordan to LeBron and a few others in between, history shows true greatness comes along once a generation.

The most surprising basketball season in Boston since 1956 is still going on as I write this the morning before Game 6 vs. Cleveland thanks to a Memorial Day weekend-induced early deadline. We all know the story about their Martin Luther King-esque “we shall overcome” season where expectations were first dashed, then completely crushed by injuries to Gordon Hayward in Game 1 and Kyrie Irving just before the playoffs began, the latter coming after they had totally stabilized the ship after the Hayward injury to bring back high expectations for a big postseason. But admirably they kept fighting on.

I did think they’d overcome the Hayward injury, but lowered expectations to 48 wins and two post-season series wins. They exceeded that, winning 55 and at least two series amid a litany of teamwide injuries.

My mistake was underestimating the accelerated growth of Jaylon Brown and Jayson Tatum. I knew they’d eventually be very good, but not this good this fast. But I did know that in April, which is why, unlike the national punditry who vastly underrated the overall talent remaining, I had them beating Milwaukee and Philly without Irving.

However, while I knew they’d fight it out, I figured they would not beat LeBron and company in Round III. Still do/did, even with after a 3-2 lead because of how jittery they’ve played on the road and until he proves otherwise I can’t bet against LeBron James in a winner-take-all Game 7 no matter where it’s played.

The good news is they’ve been defying the odds all year, so who knows, maybe they’ll be the visiting team when the playoffs open out west tonight. Here are a few thoughts on that and things that have been made obvious to me in the playoffs.

He comes to the job after serving as offensive coordinator at Anna Maria College for three years. In terms of wins and losses, there is nowhere to go but up, as he takes over a Crusaders program in the midst of a 27-game losing streak.

5 – inning when Goffstown scored 8 runs in consecutive games to turn 4-1 and 3-0 deficits into 9-4 and 8-3 wins over Windham and Bow respectively, when the big hits came on Bobby Doherty’s single to knock in the go-ahead run vs. the

On This Date – May 31 in 1983: Moses Malone and the 76ers finish off their sweep of the Lakers in the NBA Finals, as Malone’s famed “fo, fo, fo” prediction for Philly sweeps in all the playoff series nearly comes true as the Sixers also swept the Knicks and downed the Bucks four games to one. Moses was the star as Philly won their last title averaging 26 points and 15.8 rebounds per game. It was a short reign, as Philadelphia doesn’t even make it out of Round 1 the next year losing to the Nets, who then lost to Milwaukee, who then lost to Boston, before the C’s beat L.A. for the title.

16 – wins against one loss for rampaging Londonderry after a 10-1 win over Keene when Gia Komst led the

attack with three hits and two RBI. 29 – wins against one loss for Derryfield lacrosse teams after the girls moved to 12-1 with a 13-12 win over ConVal when Lucy Licata scored five times and the undefeated boys’ 17th win came in a 7-4 win over Goffstown as Gunner Senatore and Jonny MacLean each scored twice.

Sports Glossary John Havlicek: Possessor of a sensationally versatile, tough as nails, endurance beyond belief, clutch two-way game that can’t fully be appreciated by those who never saw him play. Two major plays and one full game tell the story: (1) the how-did-he-get-that-to-fall line-drive banker he made right before Gar Heard’s miracle shot in the epic Game 5 of the 1976 Finals, (2) knocking (not stealing, Johnny) the inbounds pass from under Philly’s basket to Sam Jones to save their Game 7 Eastern Conference final win in 1965, and (3) while only able to shoot lefty while playing with a separated right shoulder, he still scores 17 points during an incredible OT Easter Sunday loss to the Knicks in the 1973 Eastern Finals. And remember, he, not Larry Bird or Paul Pierce, is the Cs’ all-time leading scorer.

Gar Heard’s Miracle Shot: It goes to Heard with one second left, who somehow launches a top-of-the-key moonshot just before the clock hits zero that scrapes the Boston Garden ceiling before rattling in, sending Game 5 to a third overtime.

Tom Brady: Missing in action Patriot quarterback now in the middle of a thing with Coach B. Word on the street says - he’s missing team training events to spend time with his family. But with trips to LA and last week’s sponsor sojourn to hang out in playground of the rich and famous at tax haven Monaco’s Grand Prix that’s a little hard to believe.

Where are they now?

CHRIS PROULX - BOYS & GIRLS CLUB Chris Proulx began attending Camp Foster in the fourth grade, an experience he describes today as an “awesome” time. He enjoyed every activity, from athletics to archery to capture the flag, and met lifelong friends like the McHugh brothers, Jeremy and Josh. As had many Boys & Girls Club kids before him, Chris went on to become a counselor, which he calls the best job he ever had.

Although he hid it from others at the time because it was, in his words, “kind of geeky,” Chris grew up reading comic books. Things have changed since then—rather than hide his affection for comics, Chris turned that boyhood love into a career as owner of Manchester’s world famous Double Midnight Comics, with one location in the Maple Street Plaza and another in Concord. He’s been at it 17 years, and he tries to emulate his experience at Camp Foster by making it a warm, welcoming place for fellow enthusiasts of what is now a more mainstream hobby.

"

I always loved Camp Foster while I was going there. It was such a positive, fun place, with so many great role models. But I see the value of its impact on the community much more clearly as an adult. I was lucky that I had both my parents growing up, but as a parent now, I see how much it means to kids who don’t have that much and how being around such positive reinforcement can help change their lives.

Go Fish

PLAN YOUR ANGLING ADVENTURES PLUS, HEAD TO THE WATER FOR FREE FISHING DAY Free Fishing Day is Saturday, June 2, which means anyone in the state who wants to pick up a pole and give angling a try can do so without a license. Local pros share their advice to help you decide which kind of fishing — spin or fly — you might want to do, plus what you’ll need to do it. If you miss

out on Free Fishing Day or you try it, love it and want to spend more days out on the water, there’s also a list of classes and clubs that can help, plus some basic information on where to fish, the kinds of fish you’ll find in New Hampshire waters, and how to get started.

All about angling

A beginner’s guide to fishing in the Granite State

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Whether you’re doing it for food or as a recreational activity, fishing offers an opportunity to connect with nature or to spend time with friends or family. New Hampshire is home to more than 900 lakes and ponds and 12,000 miles of rivers and HIPPO | MAY 31 - JUNE 6, 2018 | PAGE 12

streams, allowing anglers a wide range of access.

“Unlike other sports, where there’s a beginning and an end, fishing has no time limit. You can go for 10 minutes or 10 hours; the fish don’t care,” said Mark Beauchesne, advertising and promotions coordinator for the public affairs division of the New Hampshire Fish & Game Department. “Fishing is a true pastime and

a way to just chill out. In my experience talking with anglers, fishing is truly in the moment. It’s the only thing you’re going to think of when you’re doing it.”

But whatever the reason you’re out fishing, Beauchesne said it’s imperative to know the law, to have a valid fishing license, and to research which species of fish can be found at which bodies of water to ensure your highest level of success.

Getting started

A fishing license is required to fish in the state, and there are several ways to obtain one. Beauchesne said licenses can be purchased online at fishnh.com, at some tackle and sporting goods stores, and even at some town halls. Wherever you get one, it applies to everywhere in the Granite State.

Where to go

Rules and regulations vary depending on the body of water you are visiting. If you’re new to fishing in the state and are unsure of where to go or what the restrictions would be, Beauchesne said the best way to learn is by consulting the New Hampshire Freshwater Fishing Digest, an annual publication the state’s Fish & Game Department releases. It’s available in print and online, and can be downloaded by visiting fishnh.com and clicking “Publications” under the “Fishing” tab.

Each body of water is listed under either “lakes and ponds” or “rivers and streams,” with each of those separated by “general rules” and “special rules.” Depending on where you are going, rules may have to do with the time of year you visit, the amount of fish you are permitted to catch per day, the species of fish you can catch and other variables.

It’s the angler’s responsibility to know what each of these rules is by consulting this publication, Beauchesne said.

“A lot of it is based on what’s there, what we know and what our biological staff has gone out and done research on,” he said.

“Those rules are on there to protect the fish, but still allow for opportunity.”

Finding fish

There are dozens of species of trout, salmon, bass, perch, pickerel and other fish native to the Granite State — and according to Beauchesne, a fish’s body shape and type are indicators of where they live.

“These are all strategies for these fish to make their living,” Beauchesne said. “For example, fish in fast-moving streams will have these streamlined bodies that help them move through water faster, so that’s where they’ll occupy their habitats.”

Some bodies of water in the state are known as two-tier fisheries, which include

“A resident fishing license is $45 for the calendar year, so if you buy it halfway through the year you need to get a new one at the end of the year,” Beauchesne said. “If you have a driver’s license, that’s the information that they’ll ask you for.

There’s no test or anything you need to pass. But if you’re under 16 you don’t need a license. It’s free.”

The rates for non-New Hampshire licenses are a bit higher and vary depending on the number of days they are valid for.

If you’re unsure whether fishing is for you, you can also opt for a one-day resident license, which is available to Granite Staters for $10.

After you obtain your license, Beauchesne said, you need to make sure you’re using tackle, sinkers and jigs that are non-lead when selecting your equipment.

“Lead is a toxic substance, and those are obviously things we don’t use anymore as a way to protect some of our wildlife species,” he said.

Other items to bring include a pair of pliers or hemostats for removing hooks quickly, something you can use as bait, and something to float the line or give you an indication that you have a bite from a fish.

“Almost anything will eat live bait, so like a worm for example,” Beauchesne said. “But whether it’s alive or not, if it’s ingestible, it’s bait. So another ingestible substance that some people use for catching fish could be a piece of corn or a marshmallow, things like that.”

Knowing how to tie basic knots using the monofilament fishing line can also be beneficial. Beauchesne said diagrams and instructions on how to tie a few different fishing line knots are available to view on fishnh.com for free.

HIPPO | MAY 31 - JUNE 6, 2018 | PAGE 13

several different species of fish due to the varying temperatures.

“A large lake like Winnipesaukee would have temperatures that would be 72 or 73 and also 58 in the same day, so we would be able to have both cold-water and warmwater fish species living in the same body of water,” Beauchesne said, “and certain times of the year they will cross over when those waters are at the right temperatures for them.”

The weather also often does have an effect on the activity of the fish. While you can’t control the weather conditions, Beauchesne said knowing the fish’s behavior in relation to them can be an advantage.

Because fish don’t have eyelids, they may be more prone to seeking shady areas during bright sunny days, and in turn may be more comfortable about moving around in overcast conditions or low levels of sunlight.

“If you have bright sunlight, you look for the shadows for any shade,” Beauchesne said. “When the sun is out, it also allows osprey, kingfishers, herons and other birds that prey on fish to look down and see [the water] quite well.

When it’s flat light, they can’t see into the water as well, so that’s one of the reasons why fish are a little bit more able to move about.”

Free Fishing Day On Saturday, June 2, fishing will be free for everyone statewide. During each Free Fishing Day, Beauchesne said, any resident or non-resident of the state is permitted to fish without a license.

“It’s an opportunity to give people a chance to either try fishing or come back to fishing … and if you like it, you’ll pursue it,” Beauchesne said. “All the rules still apply, so you still need to know the restrictions.”

He said that each of the two annual Free Fishing Days — the other is typically in January — also provide incentives for anglers who are out of state.

“It’s definitely one way to drive people to come to New Hampshire and experi-

HIPPO | MAY 31 - JUNE 6, 2018 | PAGE 14

ence, and we know they’ll be back,” he said. “They won’t just fish one day, because they’re going to have a great time. It’s also good for folks that maybe have been fishing for a long time but want to invite somebody that’s never fished before.”

While Beauchesne said fishing often has a lot to do with putting yourself in the right place at the right time, learning how to do it can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be – and the more you learn, the more likely you’re going to be successful.

“The more I learn about the fish, the more likely I’m going to be able to put myself in a position where our two worlds will meet, and that’s what’s beautiful about it,” he said.

During the warmer months, two styles of fishing are most prominent: conventional fishing, also known as spin fishing, and fly fishing. They share a common objective — catching fish — but beyond that they couldn’t be more different.

“It’s like comparing skiing and snowboarding,” said Kyle Glencross, coordinator for New Hampshire Fish and Game’s Let’s Go Fishing Program, which offers free beginner-level fishing classes throughout the state. “They’re two totally different techniques and approaches to fishing, and which one you do just comes down to personal preference.”

The biggest difference between spin fishing and fly fishing is the bait or lure.

In spin fishing, you can use nearly any kind of live, natural or artificial bait.

Fly fishing, however, is done exclusively with flies, light artificial lures crafted from furs, feathers and threads to imitate various kinds of fish prey.

Many fly fishers tie the fly materials together to create their own custom flies.

“Some are magnificent in terms of colors and very pretty. It can be a real art form in some cases,” said Burr Tupper, who serves as president of the Fly Fishers International North Eastern Council and periodically teaches fishing classes at Amoskeag Fishways in Manchester.

“It’s a neat thing to do, especially in the wintertime when you can’t fish; you tie flies in the winter to prepare for [fly fishing season].”

Different kinds of flies can be used depending on the kind of fish you’re trying to catch, Tupper said. A dry fly sits on top of the water and is typically meant to imitate an insect. Other floating flies may imitate larger surface-dwelling prey like a frog. Then there are flies that are partially submerged or sink down to the bottom of a water body, intended to look like nymphs, minnows, leeches and other aquatic organisms.

Since flies are much lighter than spin fishing bait, fly fishing requires a line, rod and reel that are specifically

designed for casting flies, and a technique that is entirely different from that of spin fishing.

“Casting for spin fishing is much easier to accomplish because the weight of the lure pulls the line off of the reel, whereas with fly fishing … the rod itself is what shoots the line out,” Tupper said.

“The arm movement involved [with fly fishing] is totally different. It requires a lot more finesse.”

Because flies tend to be less destructive to the fish than spin fishing bait, Glencross said, the majority of fly fishers practice catch-and-release.

“When you use an artificial fly made of fur and feathers, the fish usually just gets hooked in the corner of the mouth,” he said. “With worms or other kinds of bait, a fish swallows [the hook] and takes it in deep, so there’s more bleeding and a higher mortality rate.”

While many people find fly fishing to be more challenging than spin fishing, Tupper said, it’s often the challenge that attracts people to it, himself included.

“You have to figure out what kind of fly the fish will be interested in, where to cast to the fish, how to present the fly to them in a way that imitates [their prey] and looks like something they’d be interested in eating. There’s just a lot of things that go into [fly fishing],” he said.

“It’s almost like a puzzle, and I like that part of the experience.”

Plein air painter exhibits in Concord

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

As a plein air painter, Jessica L. Fligg of Ashland has learned to expect the unexpected, especially after the time a seagull almost flew off with some of her paintbrushes.

“All kinds of things can happen when you’re outside painting on the spot. You have to be prepared,” she said, “but that’s my favorite thing about it. Every day is something different. It’s an adventurefilled life.”

Fligg has a solo exhibition, “Impressions En Plein Air,” on display now through June at the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, through the New Hampshire Art Association, of which she is a member. It features 21 works, including oil paintings done plein air, and a few shadowbox-style mixed-media pieces that incorporate sticks, twigs and various found objects collected during her travels.

Fligg paints throughout the year, striving to complete at least one painting per week, even if that means setting up underneath a big beach umbrella so that she can paint in the snow.

She has painted scenes from all over New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont, ranging from mountainscapes, forestscapes and seascapes to more focused subjects like a particular tree, building or other landmark.

“A lot of it depends on the lighting and colors. I may have an idea of what I want to paint, but if the lighting isn’t right I’ll go until I find something else that strikes me,” Fligg said. “The hardest time is in the early spring while the snow is dimin-

ishing, before we get any foliage, because everything is dull and there isn’t a lot of color. Once you get into the spring greens like we have now, you just have to get out and paint.”

Sometimes Fligg uses local hiking maps and hiking literature to scope out new locations to paint. Other times she returns to familiar places where she has hiked or painted before.

“I’ll go back at a different season or time of year, just to see how it has changed and how the views are different,” she said. “The views are never the same.”

In addition to her plein air painting, Fligg writes and illustrates children’s books. She currently has six that she has

self-published, including Susie’s Painting Adventure!, an interactive story that teaches children about primary colors and basic color mixing; Oscar Goes to the Ocean!, a story inspired by Fligg’s rescue dog, Oscar, who loves to go to the ocean and explore; and Click-A-TeeClack The Train Goes Down the Track, a story about taking a scenic train ride in the Northeast.

When she isn’t painting or working on her books, Fligg teaches private and group art lessons and workshops for plein air and studio oil painting and watercolor.

She’s currently refurbishing a vintage camper to turn into a mobile art studio, which she plans to take on organized and independent plein air trips. Her goal is to

travel outside of New England and paint scenes all over the country.

“There are so many national parks — too many to choose from — and they all have something different to offer,” she said. “I’d love to take some longer trips, maybe get out west, and paint some of the other landscapes our country has.”

“Impressions En Plein Air” When: On view now through June. Viewing hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays when a gallery attendant is onsite.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE Crafts from the past

New Shaker Village event highlights traditional crafts

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Spoon making, rug hooking and blacksmithing may harken back to a simpler time, but many local craftspeople still make a living doing these and other traditional crafts.

On Saturday, June 2, and Sunday, June 3, Canterbury Shaker Village will host its first Traditional Craft Days, where 50 traditional craftspeople will display and sell their handmade items and demonstrate their skills.

Not to be confused with the Canterbury Artisan Festival, another event held at the Village every September which celebrates traditional arts and crafts with a craft fair and harvest activities, Traditional Craft Days will be focused on educating people about the crafts.

“It shows you how these [crafted items] are created, and the talent and hard work that’s involved in creating something by hand,” said Nicole Laurin, special events and adult programs manager for Canterbury Shaker Village. “These aren’t things that you can just buy at IKEA. They’re works of art. They take time and effort.”

Crafts represented will include fine arts like printmaking, oil painting and photography; fiber arts like quilting, spinning, rug hooking and braiding, floor cloth making, weaving and felting; woodcrafts like instrument making, spoon making, woodturning, furniture making, carving and timber framing; leatherworking, basket making, blacksmithing, flint knapping and more. Additionally, regular Village demonstrators will be doing traditional Shaker crafts, like making brooms, making oval boxes and letterpress printing.

Live animals will be incorporated in some demonstrations, such as a sawmill and log pulling demonstration with horses and oxen and a spinning demonstration accompanied 25 Kiddie pool Family activities this week.

by the llamas that supply the wool.

“These are all crafts that the Shakers would have had going on at the village,” Laurin said.

“It’s important that we keep them alive, and that we don’t lose the knowledge of how to create these things.”

For visitors who want to try some traditional crafts of their own, there will be two workshops: Village demonstrator Dick Bennett will lead a Shaker chair making workshop on Saturday, and Kevin Fife of Twin Elms Landscape will lead a dry laid stone wall building workshop on Saturday and Sunday. (Separate registration and payment are required.)

Activities and demonstrations will be accompanied by live music on both days, including Americana, singer-songwriter, bluegrass and Celtic music.

In addition to the Village Cafe, which

will be serving its regular menu of sandwiches, salads, soups, coffee, drinks and pastries, there will be food trucks and tents from Betty’s Kitchen, the Concord Community Food Co-op, Somerset Grille and Arnie’s, and one craftsperson will offer homemade soups and squash rolls.

Ideally, Laurin said, people will leave Traditional Craft Days feeling inspired to adopt a traditional craft or follow up with the craftspeople who teach classes and workshops on their crafts.

“If you want to learn how to make a spoon or braid a rug, there are opportunities to learn,” she said. “We hope people will go find those opportunities and get involved so that we can continue the legacy of these traditional crafts and continue to do them in the future.”

Traditionally, Memorial Day weekend is the time many New Englanders plant things that are frost-sensitive. I prefer to plant tomatoes, peppers, squashes and other cold-adverse plants in June, even up to mid-June. I find that it’s better to wait until the soil really is well-warmed and nights are warm, than to rush to plant. A night in the mid-30s won’t kill your tomatoes but it does set them back a bit. I find that tomatoes planted in June easily catch up with tomatoes planted earlier.

Of course, I have already planted some plants that don’t mind cold weather: lettuce, kale, onions, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and lettuce. These went in the ground in early May and are well-established by now.

I built a nice bean teepee while waiting for summer to arrive and will plant some Kentucky Wonder pole beans around it. I’ll wait until after any chance of frost has passed, as beans are frost-sensitive. I like pole beans because they keep on producing beans for many weeks if picked regularly. Bush beans produce beans for about two or three weeks, then are done.

To build the bean teepee I prepared a plot about 5 feet square, removing weeds and adding some compost. I had purchased eight bamboo poles, each 7 feet tall. With one hand I held the poles together near their tops — say a foot from the top — and with the other I splayed out the bottoms of the poles one at a time. I tried to place the poles evenly, about 20 inches apart on the ground.

This project would be easier with two people working together, but I was alone in the garden and got the teepee made. I used a 2-foot length of thin copper wire to wrap around the place where all the poles crossed near the top of the teepee. String would also work fine.

In order to stabilize the teepee I then ran a string around each pole about 4 feet off the ground. I made sure the string was snug and then tied it to each pole using a clove hitch I learned in the Boy Scouts eons ago.

I did a second loop around the teepee with a flexible piece of grape vine, weaving in and out between poles and then tying the vine to each pole with a short piece of string. I used grape vine because I had some and I liked the way it looked, but you could stick with string if that is all you have.

When the time comes to plant my tomatoes I will take steps to ensure their roots develop well. Often tomatoes I start get long and “leggy” by the time I’m ready to plant. If I just planted the root ball, those tall stems would flop over. But I can convert that long stem

Bean teepee.

into a root-bearing portion of the plant by burying it.

This can be done either by burying the root ball about 6 inches deep in a raised bed or planting the stem sideways. In either case I snip off the lower two to four branches, leaving leaves just at the top of an 8- to 12-inch stem.

To plant a tomato sideways, I dig a hole for the root ball and a trench for the stem. The top I bend and turn up, so those leaves are above the soil line. I cover the stem and root ball with soil, and I’m all done. You might fear you will break the stem when bending it, but that has only happened to me once in many years.

When planting tomatoes, don’t crowd them! Fungal diseases are a real problem most years but can be minimized if the plants get good air circulation and lots of sunshine.

“Harden off” your tomatoes (and all plants) before putting them out. Ask at the garden center whether the plants have been hardened off. If they’ve been in a greenhouse and never been outside in the sun, you’ve got to get them used to the sun. Greenhouse plastic reduces the sun’s ultraviolet rays and also protects plants from dehydrating in the wind.

If you buy plants that haven’t been hardened off and really, really want to get them in the ground, remember this: if you sunburn your plants, or dehydrate them, you will lose two weeks of growing time. You won’t kill them, but they will sulk. So don’t plant this weekend if the plants you buy aren’t hardened off.

Here’s how I harden off my tomatoes: I put them out for morning sun on my north-facing deck for two to three days, then in afternoon sun for two to three hours for a couple more days. Then they go out in the garden all day and night in their pots. Finally, I plant. I water the plants each day so they won’t dehydrate.

Gardening should be fun. It’s most fun when everything works and you harvest great vegetables. Don’t rush to get your plants in the ground, keep them well watered, and you should do just fine.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, I bought this four years ago at a yard sale. The woman told me it was her mother’s grandmother’s.

Could you please tell me what it is worth?

Paul from Allenstown Dear Paul, Your Gym-Dandy Buddy Buggy is awesome. It was made by The Universal Manufacturing Co. in Louisiana in the late 1950s or early 1960s. It is considered a pedal tricycle and can have an added cart with it as well.

I did some research for you and found them anywhere from $250 to $500 depending on the condition and whether it has a cart. One fun piece of information is that Art Linkletter endorsed these as classics. I hope you know who he is. Or maybe I am dating myself!

I hope you got a great deal and find a great home for it if that is what you want to do with it. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful item.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Gentle driver wants to bring the heat Dear Car Talk: I drive a 6-speed 2012 Mini. I pride myself on being a gentle driver. My goal is to drive so smoothly that you’ll fall asleep in the passenger

By Ray Magliozzi seat. This means I shift early; I try to keep the engine speed between 1,800-2,500 rpm. In the winter, could I heat up the car’s interior more quickly by waiting longer to shift into a higher gear? I have the winter package (heated seats and side mirrors), but it would be nice to warm up the air a little faster. Thanks!

— Mary Have you considered buying a hibachi for the passenger seat, Mary? Or heated underwear?

I’ll be upfront with you: I don’t know the answer to your question. Not that that’s ever stopped me from providing an answer before. But the answer’s not obvious.

You would think that by creating more friction (at higher rpm), you

would generate more heat and would heat up the surrounding coolant a little faster. That would be my intuitive guess.

But, on the other hand, we know that one of the reasons lugging the engine (accelerating from too low an rpm) is bad is that it causes overheating.

Which suggests that you might create more heat by shifting earlier.

So you’re going to have to run an experiment for me, Mary. Use the stopwatch on your phone. When you get into the car, record the outside temperature, the weather (overcast; sunny) and the amount of time the car has been sitting since it was last used. Any of those factors can affect engine warmup time, so make sure you’re comparing apples to apples.

Then start the stopwatch when you start the car. Set the heat on full and the fan switch on high so you’ll feel the first blast of real heat when it arrives, and you can note how long it took. Try shifting at 3,000 rpm one day, and try shifting at 1,800 on other days.

Keep in mind that the thickness of the clothing you’re wearing may affect your perception of the heat. So ideally,

you should run this winter experiment without pants, Mary. Purely in the interests of scientific accuracy.

My guess is that there won’t be a big difference in when the heat arrives. If that’s the case, I’d advise you to drive in a way that’s best for the car — which is exactly what you’ve been doing, by the way. By driving smoothly, accelerating and braking gently, and shifting at reasonable rpm, you are doing precisely what you should be doing to make the car last longer.

And as long as it’s only the person in the passenger seat who falls asleep, you should be able to enjoy this car for many years. I look forward to seeing your results.

Dear Car Talk: I have to keep the steering wheel in the 11 o’clock position to drive straight down the road. The car is a 2003 Kia Spectra LS. What’s wrong? — Michael Well, you obviously forgot to set your steering wheel ahead one hour this spring, Michael. And if you keep driving like that, pretty soon your head will be permanently cocked to one side.

If the steering wheel is off-center, it’s usually because one of your steering system components got bent. Do you remember driving over any other Kia Spectras recently? Or did you recently lend your car to your brother?

When you (or your brother) hit a big pothole or curb, you probably bent a tie rod — that’s the part most likely to get bent. Or you could have bent a control arm or strut. That knocked the car out of alignment, and now you have to compensate by turning the wheel to the left in order to go straight.

The problem is that you’re probably driving around with Marty Feldman tires: One of them is pointing straight, and the other one ain’t. So you’re probably chewing up at least one of your tires. Imagine Igor dragging his right foot as he walks; what’s happening to the sole of his right shoe is what’s happening to one of your front tires.

Take it to a shop you trust that does alignment, and ask them to check out the front end. They’ll figure it out. But don’t wait too long, or you’ll be out the cost of a tire or two in addition to the cost of the front-end work, Michael.

Scenes from last year’s Food Trucks for CASA. Courtesy photos.

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

After becoming the first multi-day food truck festival in Manchester last year, Food Trucks for CASA is back for a second round, this time with more than half a dozen newcomers in addition to some returning vendors.

The three-day event, which also features craft beer and cider samples, live music and family-friendly games, is being held from Friday, June 1, through Sunday, June 3, at McIntyre Ski Area.

At least 14 trucks are expected to make appearances over the three scheduled days — and if you attended the festival last year, you may notice several new faces this time around, according to co-coordinator Loren Foxx. Most of the trucks come from New Hampshire or other neighboring states and encompass a variety of palates such as Cajun, German, Spanish, barbecue, desserts and more.

“What’s cool about it is it’s not like going to a food court where you get just one main course and a dessert and that’s it,” Foxx said. “If you’re going with a group of people, somebody might order from one truck and you might order from another, and you get to sample different trucks from each other that way.”

Among the many offerings throughout the weekend will be Cajun chicken jambalaya and blackened shrimp tacos from Chef Koz’s Crescent City Kitchen; cupcakes, brownies, cookies, edible cookie dough and other desserts from Clyde’s Cupcakes; fair foods like cotton candy, fried dough, fried Oreos and homemade lemonade from Dudley’s Concessions; and homemade apple crisp, ice cream and Indian pudding from Belgian Acres Farm. Some trucks that appeared at the New Hampshire Octoberfest last fall, like The Wurst Haus, which serves German food favorites like schnitzel, bratwurst, knockwurst and German potato salad, will also appear at this year’s festival.

But the festival will have its fair share of first-time participants, too. There’s Empanada Dada, a Lowell, Mass.-based Cuban and Spanish food truck that is known for its variety of empanadas and Cuban sandwiches and bowls; Squeals on Wheels, which hails from Vermont and offers barbecue options like pulled pork, and ribs; the Lunch Lady Food Truck, which launched in Concord last year and features a school-themed menu of popular options like Reuben egg rolls and garlic and Parmesan truffle fries; and The Forking Awesome Food Truck out of Goffstown, offering a Tex-Mex menu of burritos, quesadillas, fusion tacos and rice bowls.

“There are also vegan options from Chez Rafiki’s, and different options for kids depending on the truck,” Foxx said, “so they do a good job of catering to all audiences.”

As with the inaugural event, Harpoon Brewery will be on hand providing sam-

ples of several of its brews, including its Craft Cider, its Pink Lemonade Shandy and its signature IPA. “They’ll have a mix of just about anything that the beer lover would want,” Foxx said.

There will also be live performances featured throughout the weekend, beginning with Dell Smart and Exit/In, an eight-piece band known for its Caribbean and reggae sounds. They will play on Friday from 5 to 8 p.m., Foxx said. Saturday’s lineup features Tapas from 11:30 to 1:30 p.m., 2Keyla from 2 to 4:30 p.m. and blues group DC Blue from 5 to 8 p.m., followed by Queen City Soul to close out the performances on Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Ongoing games of cornhole, spike ball and giant Jenga will be offered as well.

All festival proceeds will benefit CASA of New Hampshire, a statewide nonprofit that trains volunteers to advocate in court on behalf of abused and neglected children.

2nd annual Food Trucks for CASA When: Friday, June 1, 4 to 8 p.m.; Saturday, June 2, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, June 3, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: McIntyre Ski Area, 50 Chalet Court, Manchester Cost: General admission is $5 for adults and free for kids under 12. A pre-purchase package is available for $25, which includes one admission ticket, two beer tickets and an event T-shirt.

After leaving the military, David Mielke of Amherst got serious about barbecuing. But it wasn’t until his father, Harold, tried one of his homemade sauces that the two started planning what would become, years later, the Granite State’s newest slow-cooked barbecue eatery.

Despite its southern influences, Smokehaus Barbecue, which opened on Route 101 in Amherst on May 7, is uniquely New Hampshire. The lumber used for cooking is red oak grown from Burbee Firewood in Brookline, and every menu item is cooked fresh daily, according to Mielke, right down to the rubs and sauces.

The father-and-son team even completely rebuilt and redesigned the interior of the former Burger Mill restaurant themselves to give it its rustic look. While Harold focuses more on the business side of the restaurant, David is the pit master, working with head cook Pawel Rutkowski on constructing the menu, which includes sandwiches, wings, dinner plates, sides, salads and craft beers.

“What happens is I put the rubs on the meat at about 7 o’clock every night. It goes in the smoker for about 14 hours overnight.

Then I come in the next morning and let the meat sit for 15 minutes before reloading,” Mielke said. “It runs non-stop, essentially. …

We believe that those are the keys to success.

People don’t want to eat leftovers or what was thrown into the fridge the night before.”

Smokehaus Barbecue is open six days a week for lunch and dinner, featuring several sandwich and dinner plate options.

Sandwiches can be ordered either separately or with one or two sides. Plates can be made into combo meals with two or three meats, all coming with two sides and bread. Meats include pulled pork, pulled chicken, chopped pork, Angus beef brisket, half chicken, baby back ribs and hog wings.

“We’re one of the few places around here that actually do hog wings. [The meat] comes from the bottom shank of a pig’s leg, at the very bottom of what would be considered our calves,” Mielke said. “A lot of people don’t realize that there’s actually a lot of good muscle down there. So we’ll slow roast them and

fry them in the fryer like a chicken wing, and I can’t even tell you what a hit it is. It’s changing people’s lives.”

Mielke added that all of the meats are pulled as you order rather than ahead of time.

“Doing it ahead of time may make it easier to portion on people’s sandwiches,” he said, “but myself and my guys are taking it and pulling it right there for you. That truly is the best that meat will ever be on a sandwich.”

Sides can be ordered as small sizes, pints or quarts and include creamed corn, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, collard greens, hand-cut fries, and hush puppies (fried cornbread bites). There are also salads and a children’s menu.

A line of about a half dozen craft beers comes from local breweries like Laughing Crow Beer, a nanobrewery in Amherst.

“We really wanted to support local beer,” Mielke said. “In fact, our Haus Brown beer is made at Laughing Crow just for us. It’s more on the nutty side of a brown ale.”

In addition to featuring the same sauce Mielke had his father taste that inspired the duo to open Smokehaus Barbecue — now known as the “Haus Original” sauce — other homemade sauces are a sweet sauce called the “Haus Sweet,” a yellow mustard sauce called the “Haus Gold,” and a white sauce called the “Haus White” that Mielke said is specifically designed to go on chicken.

Mielke said he would love to eventually explore the possibility of going commercial with his sauces but for now he’s focused on contributing to the growing barbecue .

“Barbecue is not that big up in New England. The fact of the matter is that it’s kind of an untapped resource up here,” Mielke said.

“The barbecue that we’re doing here … goes from the pit to us cutting it and you getting it in five minutes. It never sits under a heat lamp, so you’re going to get the freshest cuts you can get.”

Why change?

John Goldberg and his wife Kristin DeRosa of Milford opened Mangia Sano (321 Nashua St., Milford, 554-8534, find them on Facebook) last summer. The restaurant’s name translates to “eat healthily,” and it features a menu of traditional Italian food all made from scratch, including pasta dishes, olive oils, breads, meatballs, chicken Parm, flatbread pizzas, sandwiches and more. Goldberg, who also owns the Riverhouse Cafe on the Milford Oval about a half mile away, said he and his wife opened Mangia Sano out of a desire to offer an Italian eatery with simple recipes, like the Amatriciana, a spaghetti dish made with guanciale, onions, crushed red peppers, tomato, parsley and pecorino cheese.

Slowly heat the sliced guanciale with a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat.

Add onions to the pan to soften in the rendered fat, cooking them until soft but without color. Add the white wine and reduce by three quarters. Add the tomatoes. Cook down on a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Add salt to taste. Cook the pasta in a pan of heavily salted boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or as per packet instructions. Once the pasta is al dente, drain and add it to the sauce, tossing to make sure the pasta is evenly coated. Serve straight away with plenty of grated pecorino romano and some torn basil leaves.

Celebrating Our

47th Season

Ideas from off the shelf

Shakshuka A few nights ago, some of my best friends came over to wish us well on our impending move. We sat around eating, talking and planning for the future, and eventually the conversation turned to our favorite foods. We landed on the topic of favorite breakfast foods, and each of us waxed poetic about waffles, omelets and eggs Benedict. But one of my friends said his all-time favorite breakfast dish was shakshuka.

After the groups exchanged a lot of confused looks — many of us had never heard of it before — my friend explained that shakshuka is a simple but delicious dish of eggs poached in what is essentially a marinara sauce. Convinced I was missing out, I decided to try my hand at the dish.

While recipes vary depending on country of origin, shakshuka at its heart is a pantry-friendly dish that is quick to make and absolutely delicious.

As many of my pots, pans and pantry ingredients have been packed away already, I had to improvise in a few spots.

For example, long-gone was my cast iron skillet, so my non-stick skillet would have to do. Additionally, I’d packed away all Shakshuka Recipe courtesy of The Mediterranean Dish Olive oil 1 large yellow onion chopped 2 green peppers chopped 2 garlic cloves, peeled, chopped 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon sweet paprika 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin Pinch red pepper flakes (optional) Salt and pepper 6 vine-ripe tomatoes chopped 1/2 cup tomato sauce 1 teaspoon sugar 6 large eggs

• INDOOR / OUTDOOR SEATING but the most basic of seasonings and spices, leading me to skip the coriander and the red pepper flakes. However, I did have a jar of spicy salsa, so I added a few scoops to the tomato sauce and was pleasantly surprised with the results.

This recipe could serve as a hearty breakfast or a vegetarian-friendly dinner depending on what you serve it with.

Additionally, you could add meat like a chorizo or ground sausage if you really wanted. I found the dish was satisfying and filling enough with just the eggs and sauce, and I ended up scooping up the leftovers with a crusty piece of bread.

The subtle blend of seasonings that support the luscious tomato sauce and the runny egg yolks is nothing short of divine.

And for a simple dish, shakshuka packs a flavorful punch.

— Lauren Mifsud In a large cast iron skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onions, green peppers, garlic and spices along with a generous pinch salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce and sugar, and simmer until the tomato mixture begins to reduce, about 10 to 12 minutes. Season to taste. Using a wooden spoon, make six indentations, or “wells,” in the tomato mixture, making sure the indentations are spaced out. Crack an egg into each indention, reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook on low until the egg whites are set.

It’s hot. It’s humid. You’re sweating.

You’re thirsty.

Sure, you could grab a glass of water, or enjoy a silky smooth iced coffee. You could even mix up a pitcher of powdered pink lemonade and tip your hat to your 12-year-old self. But if you’re anything like me, you’re going to grab a beer.

Here are four summer beers to quench your summertime thirst: • Post Shift Pilsner by Jack’s Abby Craft Lagers - Framingham, Mass.

It’s been a long day and you’re tired, grumpy and hot. The brewers at Jack’s Abby brewed this beer for you. It’s bright, crisp, refreshing and wonderful with a perfectly golden pour. The hop character is—pleasingly—a bit more pronounced than your typical pilsner, which adds a touch of bitterness and complexity and maybe even a mild burst of lemon, though, if we’re being honest, that could be in my head.

Pilsners are the quintessential “beer,” but this isn’t boring. Pour often this summer.

Pairs well with yard work, beach time, cookouts and impromptu volleyball bouts.

• Lemon Blueberry Pale Ale by Woodstock Inn Brewery - North Woodstock Summer in a can? Yes it is. I have a soft spot for blueberry beers. Add in bright, lemony flavor and a welcome burst of hops and you get a brew that is complex, fun and tasty.

Seriously. I wasn’t sure the combination of lemon, blueberry and hops would work. But it does. It’s because none of the ingredients dominates. There are subtly sweet blueberry notes but the sweetness is just enough to remind you this is a fruit-infused beer, and not enough to cling overbearingly to your palate.

This will pair well with the hottest of summer days — it also eased my pain during a difficult Celtics game. Just a delightful brew.

• Tropical Haze IPA by Great Rhythm Brewing - Portsmouth I had to include one IPA on this list. And why not? A hazy, juicy New England-style IPA pairs perfectly with summer. Sometimes the alcohol and dank flavors of a hefty IPA (or double IPA) can be a bit much for a hot, summer day. But the Tropical Haze, at 6.8 ABV, is an excellent warm-weather brew featuring pleasant flavors of pineapple and mango. The pour is hazy but not orange juice hazy, which is good. On top of that, this beer tastes lighter than some other variations in this style.

I’m envisioning sipping one of these on a deck overlooking the ocean on a warm evening hopefully not all by myself — but I’ll take what I can get.

• Chai Honey White by Merrimack Ales - Lowell, Mass.

OK, when I first saw this in my local beer store, I basically did an about-face and sprinted in the opposite direction. I was imagining the ubiquitous “summer wheat” beer with syrupy, no-thank-you levels of sweetness. Then I thought, “My wife might like this.” In reality, this brew is terrific and extremely well-balanced.

It’s also not really designed to be a summer brew, but it works for me. You get the soft wheatiness and pleasing fruity, lemony aromas with just a lick of honey.

There’s nothing overpowering or syrupy about the sweetness. It’s just right.

I shouldn’t have been afraid. But I was right because my wife loved this beer — that’s really what matters.

I see myself enjoying this unfiltered white ale infused with locally sourced orange blossom honey by the campfire as my reward for starting the campfire.

The potentially hard news here is that Merrimack Ales brewed this as a spring seasonal. Maybe I’m missing the boat but I want to drink this in summer. Get it while you can.

If you’re going to be a ghostly band, it’s always good to have a ghost story to explain your lyrical approach. The debut from this six-member New York City troupe came about when leader David Mosey and singer Cici James, who’d met through Joe McGinty of Psychedelic Furs, bonded over an old suitcase that was about to be tossed into the New York dump.

The suitcase contained the ’70s-era diary of an Oregon woman; she’d documented her successes and failures in the scene, and, long story short, became the muse of this act. Lot of Bauhaus, Siouxsie and Cure influence here, but it’s a bit more current than that owing to the swirly synth work and James’s voice, which conjures Aimee Mann with a few extra singing lessons. Buzzy bass, haunted goth tropes, ’80s synthpop, it’s all here. The thing that’s striking is the surprising level of melodic stickiness; Mosey isn’t Paul McCartney, but the hooks do bang around the skull for a while. A — Eric W. Saeger Bart & The Bedazzled, Blue Motel (Lovemonk Records)

Here we have an odd blend of fairly mellow garage-surf that’s equal parts 1960s yacht-chill and 1980s Britpop. Oakland, California-born bandleader Bart Davenport has been knocking around since the 1990s, when he was a blues fixture opening for John Lee Hooker and other legends, but then the ’90s garage scene lured him over, and that’s about the whole story, really; some Replacements vibe I suppose, but it’s more a singer-songwriter project whose best moments come via barely plugged Peavey-powered arpeggios; there’s certainly a Quentin Tarantino tinge to it. That’s not to imply that Davenport is all that exciting in the vocal area; he could do karaoke of both John Lennon (the title track) and Wire (the mopey “Time Machine for Two”) if needed, but in the end this is all about lost evenings on windswept beaches, with very little in the way of extraneous fluff. A little bit of sample-weirdness aboard, which really wasn’t necessary. B — Eric W. Saeger

• June 1 is coming up, and with it a “duet” EP from Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson called Apart. That Black Widow lady is so edgy, you know, like when she’s not groupie-ing out on Tom Waits, she’s beating up the Rhino or the Joker or whatever cameo guest villains end up in those Avengers movies. When I go to see those movies — which, let’s face it, are all just 10 or so Transformers movies mushed together, with Snapchat filters of random comic book people heads and Robert Downey heads pinned to all the Megan Fox atnd Shia Labeouf heads as they all run from Bumblebee or whatever — what I do is sneak a five-pound bag of sugar into the theater, right, and the minute the movie starts making no sense at all, in other words five seconds in, I buy an extra-big Coke with no ice, actually just the plastic-syrup-sludge from the drink machine, and then I dump all five pounds of sugar into the drinky cup and power-chug it as fast as I can, then power-gobble familysize boxes of Mike & Ikes and suddenly there it is, all the characters’ quips are actually funny and all the explodey action mayhem actually slows down, and there’s my grandma’s ghost, yelling “Eric, look! That’s the Green Goblin, and he’s gonna hit Snarf with Pete Yorn’s guitar!” See there, I’ve had visions of what this EP would sound like, Snarf getting hit over the head with Pete Yorn’s drum kit while Scarlett Black Widow “harmonizes” (Dr. Evil air-quotes) with Yorn’s “singing” (ditto), in other words it basically sounds like the Replacements in an expensive studio with a Bananarama girl.

• Hell-On is the first album from Neko Case in five years, not counting the 2016 collaborative album case/lang/veirs, in which she teamed up with k.d. lang and Laura Veirs. The title track is a creepy wombat waltz with skeletal bink-binking and, as usual, bizarre lyrics. She’ll be at the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion in Boston on June 23 and June 24.

• Former Who singer Roger Daltrey releases his ninth solo LP, As Long as I Have You, on June 1. As usual, there are lots of cover songs on there, so his voice can crack on the high notes, because art.

Among the songs he didn’t write are Nick Cave’s “Into My Arms” and Stevie Wonder’s “You Haven’t Done Nothing,” and by the way Pete Townshend plays guitar on all these songs, so they probably should have just called it a Who album and told John Entwistle “come at me, bro” if he complained. Wait, Entwistle died in 2002, why didn’t they just call this album “Who’s Got Change for a British Shilling” or some other “clever” title with “who” in it like they always used to do? The title track is also a cover, of some old 1960s song, and it sounds like Tom Jones doing a Vegas finger-snapper except it’s Daltrey singing, so it’s not really music of course.

• The 23rd full-length from Chicago indie-meisters Joan of Arc is titled 1984, in honor of everyone naming albums after years from the 1980s. The single “Truck” is made of stream-of-consciousness avant-glitch, underneath which some girl sings like a stoned Dolly Parton, after which, fortunately, it ends. — Eric W. Saeger

TEDx talks come to Derry

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

A psychology professor, a digital security expert and a medical detective are among the speakers participating in the TEDxAmoskeagMillyard event happening Saturday, June 2, at the Stockbridge Theatre in Derry.

Popularized on YouTube under the slogan “ideas worth spreading,” TED is a brand of short, inspiring and enlightening talks covering a wide range of topics, from science and technology to cultural issues and self improvement.

TEDx is a subsidiary of TED that refers to the local, independently organized talks that follow the TED format, held all over the world. TEDxAmoskeagMillyard was created in 2011 and is one of several New Hampshire-based TEDx initiatives.

The theme for this year’s event is “It’s Complicated.”

“We live in complicated times, so that [theme] covers a lot of ground,” lead organizer Eric Ratinoff said. “Whether it’s science, politics, health, psychology or any other topic that you run into, things can get complicated, and as much as we try to simplify them, it’s much easier to find yourself in a gray area.”

The event will consist of 10 live talks, screenings of three recorded official TED talks (a requisite for TEDx events), a couple live musical performances, and breaks for breakfast and lunch (a light breakfast and box lunch will be provided).

TED challenges speakers to deliver their talks in 18 minutes or less, often forcing them to get creative with how they communicate their message.

“You’re talking to a general audience, so you can’t assume that they have expertise in that subject, but you’re on a time limit, so you don’t have all day to explain it,” Ratinoff said. “You have to give a talk that’s inviting but also compelling so that the audience is able to absorb the idea within that time.”

Anyone is eligible to be a TEDx speaker, though they must be nominated through the open nomination process.

Nominees may then decide to take the next step and submit an application. A selection team reviews all of the applications and chooses speakers for the event. This year, Ratinoff estimates that more than 60 people were nominated and around 40 of them applied.

The talk topics are not revealed until the event, but Ratinoff said everyone is

sure to hear one or more talks that resonate with them.

“You never know which talk is going to blow you away. The one that you least expect could be the one that inspires you or moves you or changes your way of thinking,” he said. “That’s the magic of being exposed to all these different ideas in the course of a single day.”

If you can’t make it to the event, you can still watch the talks online — all of them will be recorded, edited and uploaded to the TEDx Talks YouTube channel following the event — but Ratinoff said it pales in comparison to experiencing them live.

“When you’re there in that moment, engaging with the ideas as they’re being shared, surrounded by other people who are engaging with those ideas, it’s just a different feeling from watching it on your computer,” he said. “If you’re a fan of TED talks online but have never seen them in person, this is something you don’t want to miss.”

POP CULTURE BOOKS

Anatomy of a Miracle, by Jonathan Miles (Hogarth, 353 pages) Novels aren’t written by algorithm — yet — although sometimes they feel as though they are.

Punch in a winsome yet flawed protagonist, an icy antagonist, a redemptive arc and a shocking plot twist, and out comes a narrative that is technically fine but sometimes a little too familiar.

Meet the antidote, Jonathan Miles, possibly the only former New York Times writer to invite readers to “holler” at him on his website.

Miles’ Anatomy of a Miracle is so fresh, so startling, that it feels like a hoax; no way is this strange story fiction. But that is the point: It’s written as a piece of long-form journalism, in present tense, yet after the events that transpired when a beer-swilling, paralyzed veteran suddenly gets out of his wheelchair outside a convenience store in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Before the miracle transpires, Cameron Harris is living a Sergeant Dan sort of life, without the benefit of a Forrest Gump. Once a promising high school athlete, he joined the Army after being leveled by his mother’s death and, soon after, Hurricane Katrina.

After coming home from Afghanistan a paraplegic, his pleasures have been reduced to television, cigarettes and beer, and an afternoon run to a convenience store with his caregiver sister.

Like the word “Coke” stands in for any sort of soft drink in the South, a “miracle,” Miles writes, can be any sort of strange occurrence.

A true miracle — performed by God at the individual’s behest — is a Coca-Cola, the real thing, whereas Cameron decides his “miracle” is more a Dr Pepper, “an astonishment of chance.”

He rejects the idea that his paralysis had been some kind of test: “Nothing Cameron had done since returning from Afghanistan seemed to qualify for a passing grade, unless he counted not killing himself — but all that should have earned him is a participation trophy.”

Cameron’s doctor, too, is skeptical of God’s hand in what happened: A “miracle,” she believes, is “an event that happens in advance of an explanation for it.”

But others, including a man with liver cancer who walks for 37 hours to stand outside the convenience store holding a giant inflatable cross, and a local Catholic priest, discern divinity in what happened. And a realityshow producer in Hollywood smells money.

The priest commences a Vatican investigation in order to have Cameron’s healing deemed an official miracle, and the producer gets a contract for a show that features

not just Cameron but his rough-around-the-edges sister.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese owners of the convenience store, the Biz-E-Bee, come to recognize that what happened on their property was not an annoyance but a business opportunity as earnest pilgrims seeking God — or at least a piece of mail with Biz-E-Bee stamped on it — journey to see where “Mr. Jesus” performed his latest miracle.

All this makes for fine comedy and drama — and yes, there is the inevitable plot twist — but it’s the skillful weaving of the story as a journalist would write it that makes Anatomy of a Miracle such a pleasure. Plus, Miles, despite having written the “Shaken and Stirred” column for The New York Times, knows Mississippi, “swampy-ass” heat and all, like Faulkner. He attended college there, found a mentor in Larry Brown, and lived, Waldenesque, in a 12x30-foot cabin while learning to write fiction. Both his previous novels Want Not and Dear American Airlines won critical acclaim.

Reviewing Dear American Airlines in The New York Times in 2008, Richard Russo wrote, “Ah, but the digressions! Not every reader will love them as I did.” Miles apparently took that as license to digress even more; in fact, a quarter of Anatomy of a Miracle could comprise digressions, some more entertaining than others — for example, Miles’ description of an elderly woman who survived Katrina atop a floating refrigerator and now spends most of her days crocheting on the front porch, waving at everyone who drives or walks by.

“As Cameron says: “It’s like our street’s got its own Walmart greeter’,” Miles writes.

Less compelling is a lengthy backstory about the family of Dr. Janice Lorimar-Cuevas, Cameron’s physician, who refuses to be thrown in with the lot of the “miracle thumpers.”

While the framework of the novel is darkly comic, Anatomy of a Miracle is ultimately a book with serious themes, as foreshadowed in Janice’s musings about the injured veterans she has treated.

“Some of these guys charge back hard against their injuries…. Others, like Cameron, just crumple. Now that Janice considered it, he seemed as afflicted by something like heartbreak as much as by paralysis — as if he’d lost something even more precious than his mobility over in Afghanistan.”

As Miles wrote of married couples who “argue about the leaves when it’s the roots they’re angry about,” there’s a lot going on that hides underground for much of the book. This novel is not, as Yann Martel’s Life of Pi promised, a “story to make you believe in God,” but rather a story to make you think about truth. A— Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Solo: A Star Wars Story (PG-13)

See how Han becomes the worldweary smuggler we meet in the original Star Wars trilogy in Solo: A Star Wars Story, an underwhelming look at one of the saga’s most fun characters.

When we first meet him, teenage Han (Alden Ehrenreich) is a thief Oliver Twisting his way through the mean streets of the planet Corellia with girlfriend, Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke). Instead of turning in a high-value item he’s recently stolen to the crime boss they are both beholden to, he decides to use it to get them both off the planet. During their escape, however, he gets free and she doesn’t. Hoping it’s a fast track to becoming a pilot and rescuing Qi’ra, Han joins the Imperial military.

Three years later, Han is trudging through some muddy battlefield as an infantry member, his wise-ass nature having closed a lot of career doors. A chance meeting with a bunch of smugglers — Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson), Val (Thandie Newton) and Rio Durant (voice of Jon Favreau) — and an enslaved “beast,” the Wookiee Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), leads Han to desert and set off on a profitable life of crime.

His plan is to earn enough money to buy a ship and then search for Qi’ra, and a planned heist by Beckett’s crew to steal a large cache of fuel could accomplish this.

But the heist goes badly and Beckett finds himself on the hook to crime boss Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany) for the fuel. Han agrees to help Beckett steal it elsewhere and, when they all go to see Vos, Han is surprised to see Qi’ra, now an assistant manager of, I don’t know, the floor staff at the bar and also evil endeavors for Vos and also perhaps his girlfriend (and by “girlfriend” I mean that she’s seems to be “with” the crime boss but appears to have no real say in the nature of their relationship).

Crew thusly assembled — Beckett, Han, Chewbacca and, to keep an eye on them, Qi’ra — they go to find a ship. As it hap-

HIPPO | MAY 31 - JUNE 6, 2018 | PAGE 42

Solo: A Star Wars Story

pens, an acquaintance of Qi’ra’s has a mighty fine ship. The man: one smoothtalking, suavely dressed Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover). The ship: one Millennium Falcon, complete with walk-in closet and, Lando says, a wet bar.

Can it make a Kessel run in under 20 parsecs? (Also, this is The Kessel Run? This thing that happens in, I’m guessing, his early 20s is the thing Han never stops talking about?)

Of our original-trilogy core group of heroes, Han Solo was unique in that he had no destiny to be a part of the story. He wasn’t a Jedi and didn’t have the Skywalker genetic destiny. He was just a guy, who could stay or go and who made decisions based on his own moral code and eventually on his loyalty to his friends. And he was a fun character, a wisecracker a la “boring conversation anyway” and is recognizable as a modern genre hero. He has a character arc in the first movie and throughout the trilogy. This all makes him a natural for this kind of pull-out backstory.

Which is to say I understand why this movie exists. And there is a lot in it that I appreciate. The introductions of Chewbacca and Lando are solid, probably the most enjoyable and lively parts of this

movie. Chewbacca is not as developed as he could have been (especially considering that he becomes Han’s life-long partner and constant companion) and Glover is having so much fun as Lando that it shines through every scene he’s in, almost to a degree that it diminishes the rest of the goings-on, but generally speaking, these characters’ introduction and development works.

(And Glover is the stand-out, performance wise, in this movie. His Lando is familiar to the character played by Billy Dee Williams while bringing a fresh energy. Ehrenreich, meanwhile, is fine as Han but doesn’t do anything you can’t imagine any number of similar-aged actors doing and doesn’t do anything with the character that adds any new layers or recaptures the sparkle that Han added to the very first Star Wars.)

But Solo is full of decisions that, while they make sense from a marketing and universe-building standpoint, don’t serve this specific movie well or do much for the fan for whom the movies are the primary exposure to the Star Wars universe.

At several points in the movie I found myself thinking, “This is some Star Wars cartoon series thing, isn’t it?” at some

reveal or plot point or name that was presented as important but meant nothing to me. And that’s fine, to some degree. Deadpool 2, for example, is full of references to the comic books, and Marvel Cinematic Universe movies always have baskets of Easter Eggs. But these expanded-universe movies also need to tell a story that makes sense for (and matters to) people who haven’t done all the homework.

Solo has that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them self-conscious first-moviein-a-series feel. The stakes in this movie already feel kind of muted — we know what Han will end up with (ship, Wookiee buddy) and what he won’t (there was no Mrs. Solo hanging out with Han and Chewie in Mos Eisley). Even by that already lowered bar, however, this movie ends up feeling like it has no real stakes. The use of expanded galaxy elements and characters whose fates aren’t resolved here sets up plenty of story possibilities for future movies. But the way it used them didn’t do anything to make me want to see that future movie.

Solo could have been a lot of things — more heist-y, funnier, more romantic (both Han and Lando are inherently romantic characters). It’s hard to watch the movie and not think about the movie that original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller (of The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street fame who eventually replaced on Solo with Ron Howard) might have made and how it could have injected life and originality into this story. I am generally supportive of the idea of growing the Star Wars universe and telling all kinds of stories in it. Solo seems like a missed opportunity to have some fun with one of the franchise’s most beloved and attention-worthiest characters. C+ Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action/violence, according to the MPAA. Directed by Ron Howard with a screenplay

by Jonathan Kasdan & Lawrence Kasdan, Solo: A Star Wars Story is two hours and 15 minutes long and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.

Ry Cooder once said in an interview that his son Joachim was a born collaborator. As a toddler, he’d sneak into his dad’s home studio to play Jim Keltner’s drums, until the day Keltner heard him and bought the youngster a kit of his own. From then on, Joachim willingly provided rhythm to Ry’s legendary guitar prowess; he began joining him on stage in his teens and at 15 he played on the Grammy-winning album A Meeting by the River.

The younger Cooder waited until his mid-30s to make a record of his own, tthough even that was a collaboration. For Love on a Real Train, released in 2012, he wrote instrumental tracks and gave them to Petra Haden, Matt Costa, Inara George and others, including his wife, Juliette Commagere. Each added lyrics and vocals.

Finally, Joachim Cooder has a true solo record. Fuschia Machu Picchu was released in March. The spark for the sevensong EP was becoming a father.

“It made me look at myself in a different way, take myself less seriously,” he said in a recent phone interview. “Before, I never in a million years thought I was anything but a drummer, an accompanist, or somebody on the side.”

He wrote the percussive title track without realizing it, as he tried to sing life into a plant purchased for the yard of a new home in northeast Los Angeles.

“It was hard-packed, sun-baked dirt, and we didn’t know much about plants, or what we were getting ourselves into,” Cooder said. “I put it in the ground and then I just found myself singing to it every day, chanting this song.”

While in Nashville producing an album for childhood friend Carly Ritter, Cooder couldn’t get the song out of his head, so he

came up with a chorus.

“That’s when I thought, oh, I’m going to sing ‘Fuschia Machu Picchu’ for people, not just my plants,” he said with a laugh.

The record’s most endearing track, “Elevated Boy,” grew from an interaction with his daughter Paloma when she had a cold at age 1.

“I was raising her up on her pillow higher and I told her, ‘I’m just getting your head elevated.’ She was looking at me and I didn’t think anything of it at the time … I was just saying words,” he said.

Some months later, Paloma was playing with a doll she refers to as ‘her boy,’ Cooder said.

“She was scooting it up on this pillow in her little play area. After a while she looked over at us, pointed at it and just said, ‘Elevated boy.’ I was so knocked out by that, because it’s such a perfect song title ... it made me think, I want to tell the story of the elevated boy, what his journey is and what seeing our world through his eyes is like.”

An exotic electric thumb piano called an array mbira features on many of the songs.

A wooden rectangular box with multiple metal tines, the contraption looks like a kalimba designed by Beetlejuice. Cooder played an acoustic version of the Africaninspired instrument on many film scores.

He couldn’t play it live until San Diego inventor Bill Wesley built a solid body model.

“I tried to, but you have to turn the mike up too much and it gets lost or feeds back,” he said. “Once I was able to plug it into a guitar amp, I could play it on stage. I don’t play guitar, and I don’t really play piano enough, so it enabled me to do these songs in a real way.”

Unlike Dweezil Zappa, who’s made a career recreating Mothers of Invention songs note for note, Cooder never wanted to emulate his father.

“Guitar has never made any sense to me,” he said. “Which is a good thing, because I would be so sad trying to be a guitar player. And my dad and I get to play together, so it all works.”

The two have jammed for as long as he can remember.

“He’s always had a studio in the house, and if I would hear him, I would just go in and play with him,” Cooder said. “As I got older, I was able to jump up on stage.

He did a tour with David Lindley, the other guitar player who I have always loved so much. Lindley gave me this Turkish hand drum called a doumbek. It’s metal and kind of looks like a goblet. ... That’s how I started getting up with them.”

At an upcoming Tupelo Music Hall show, Cooder will open with his band, then back his father’s headlining set, which will include songs from a newly released album, The Prodigal Son. Ry Cooder with Joachim Cooder and Band When: Tuesday, June 12, 8 p.m.

SIGNS OF LIFE All quotes are from Smart Baseball, by not equal the whole week.

Keith Law, born June 1, 1973.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Even if the starting pitcher throws a perfect game — 27 Gemini (May 21 – June 20) And so, batters faced, 27 batters retired — he’d still when it comes to fielding stats, we need to have gotten some help from his defense. … start over entirely, but the question is where. Giving those pitchers the full credit of a win Might as well start figuring out where. or loss is idiocy. Not only is it inaccurate, Cancer (June 21 – July 22) ...for much of giving us the impression that the pitcher had the statistic’s history, RBI was interpreted as more to do with the team result than he did, meaning a player was a good hitter or had but it has the effect of reducing our undersome sort of magic woo-woo that gave him standing of the game. Don’t oversimplify. a special ability to drive in runs. Woo, woo!

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) The hardLeo (July 23 – Aug. 22) So now we have est myth for fans and even baseball folks to to look at all of the plays that our player made give up, in my own experience, is the myth of that most players at his position don’t make, the “hot hand.” … the evidence from realiand see how often he made them and what ty shows that this effect either barely exists happens when a fielder doesn’t make each of or doesn’t exist at all.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Oops!

On May 1, as airmen of the 91st Missile Wing Security Forces traversed the gravel back roads of North Dakota between two of the nuclear missile launch sites they are charged with protecting, the back hatch of their truck fell open, allowing a 42-pound metal box of explosive grenade rounds to fall out. Despite deploying more than 100 airmen to walk the entire 6-mile route the team had driven, The Washington Post reported on May 15, the ammunition still hadn’t been found. The Air Force’s Office of Special Investigations has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the box and has alerted local farmers and oil field vendors in the area that the box could be dangerous if damaged.

Animal antics

• In Lodi, California, a small black cat took up residence on May 11 on a high ledge near the large outdoor sign of a Chili’s restaurant and thwarted attempts by management, who self-identified as “cat people,” to be rescued.

As customers took pictures, Restaurant Cat, as it came to be known, stared down calmly, KTXL TV reported. But when Chili’s employees used a ladder to try to reach it, the cat climbed behind the neon chili pepper and wouldn’t come out, so they left food and water. Presumably it’s keeping the pigeons away.

• Meanwhile, in Perth, Australia, another restaurant has taken a novel approach to a different animal problem: Customers at Hillary’s 3Sheets are being offered water guns to shoot at seagulls, which have been ruining diners’ waterfront meals. “It was bad,” owner Toby Evans told Nine Network television on May 16, admitting the idea was “a desperate measure. Before, they’d wait until customers had finished and got up, but now they’re getting cheekier and cheekier.” Customers are on board, saying the pistols are working. (Maybe they need a Restaurant Cat of their own.)

But, why?

• Making good on his promise, Welshman Mark Williams, 43, celebrated his third world snooker championship by conducting the post-match news conference at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England, in the buff.

Williams, who beat John Higgins of Scotland on May 7, is the event’s oldest winner in 40 years, Reuters noted. “I’m not going to say anything stupid ... but to be honest if I won this next year, I’d cartwheel down here naked,” Williams promised.

• The Daytona Beach International Airport was briefly evacuated early on May 11 when John Greenwood, 25, caused a ruckus as he rode around the baggage carousel in the nude, trying to get out onto the tarmac, reported News4Jax. Sheriff’s deputies shocked him with a Taser, to which he responded: “We

gotta get outta here, there’s a bomb going to go off. I planted a bomb in the bathroom.”

After sweeping the airport, officials found no explosives, but Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said they did find Greenwood’s clothes in a backpack hidden in a hole in the bathroom wall. Described by Chitwood as a frequent flyer, Greenwood is known to local law enforcement, and he admitted taking drugs on Thursday night. He faces several charges after the incident.

Easy way out

Like any resourceful mom, Johanna Giselhall Sandstrom of Kyrkhult, Sweden, made lemonade out of lemons after she discovered a spelling error in her newly acquired tattoo. Sandstrom had asked the tattoo artist to entwine the names of her two children, Nova and Kevin, on her arm, and it wasn’t until she arrived home that she realized the tattoo read “Kelvin” instead of “Kevin.” “My heart stopped and I thought I was going to faint,” Sandstrom told local newspaper Blekinge Lans Tidning. Removing the tattoo would require multiple treatments, she learned, so Sandstrom decided instead to change her 2-year-old son’s name to Kelvin, The Independent reported on May 16. “When I thought more about it, I realized that no one else has this name,” she said. “It became unique. Now we think it is better than Kevin.”

Weird science

For two years, Kendra Jackson of Omaha, Nebraska, “had a box of Puffs ... everywhere I went,” due to constant sneezing, coughing and nose-blowing that started after she hit her face on the dashboard during a car accident in 2013, she told KETV. Multiple doctors told

her allergies were the cause, but eventually she was diagnosed with cerebrospinal fluid leak — her brain fluid was leaking into her nasal cavity at the rate of about a half-pint a day. In early May, Nebraska Medicine rhinologist Dr. Christie Barnes plugged the small hole between Jackson’s skull and nostrils with her own fatty tissue, giving Jackson the relief she had been seeking for years.

Awwwwww ....

Six baby squirrels in Elkhorn, Nebraska, found themselves in a sticky situation when their tails became tangled in tree sap and knotted together in their nest. When a man noticed what looked like a six-headed squirrely cluster moving around in a tree, wildlife expert Laura Stastny, executive director of Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, got the call. Stastny told the Omaha World-Herald that her group sees a case like this every year or so. She covered the squirrels with a towel to calm them and then snipped the fur that held them together.

The owner of a 15,000-square-foot condo on the 45th floor of the swanky Atelier building in Manhattan is offering the 10-bedroom, 11-bathroom property for sale — for $85 million, according to WNBC. It features the expected appointments — marble bathrooms, granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances — but the steep price tag also includes some extras, such as two Rolls-Royce Phantoms, a Lamborghini, courtside season tickets to the Brooklyn Nets, a summer mansion in the Hamptons, a million-dollar yacht, live-in butler service and ... oh yeah, two tickets for a trip to outer space.
