New Hampshire has the distinction of having one of the lowest fertility rates in the country. According the the CDC, in 2016 New Hampshire had the second lowest birth rate, behind Vermont. Even Maine, Rhode Island and Massachusetts beat us out. There are probably lots of reasons for this. New Hampshire has an older population. Its residents tend to be better educated and earn more money than the national average and for whatever reason that correlates with lower birth rates. It’s also cold here for much of the year. It’s not inherently bad to have lower birth rates, but it does put pressure on funding government services — though because of New Hampshire’s reliance on property that may not be as much of an issue as it is in other states. Lower birth rates do mean that any population growth needs to come from immigration from other states or countries. People wonder why we need our population to grow. There are good economic reasons to grow a state’s (or country’s) population. The main reason is that population growth fuels economic growth. There is no need that our population grow, though a declining population creates a host of problems such as increased poverty. However, we tend to like the results of a growing population — more economic activity, more jobs, higher wages. So what’s the solution? We aren’t having more children, our population is aging and we face an uncertain economic future as companies can’t find enough workers. We could do what Vermont is starting to do — offer people who move to the state $10,000. But I favor a less costly method. Make New Hampshire welcoming to younger people. Yes, this is a theme with me. In this case, I specifically mean reduce government-created barriers to entrepreneurship, including but not limited to eliminating licensing requirements, making it easier to get business licenses and making it easier to get town health and building permits. Younger Americans tend to be more racially and ethnically diverse and more likely to be foreign-born. Welcome them. As more nationalistic political forces have emerged, people have been asking why we need more or even any immigrants. This is why. To grow we need to add younger people and we’re not producing them ourselves. It’s really that simple. As Calvin Coolidge correctly said, “The chief business of the American people is business.” And that is our enduring strength.

NEWS & NOTES
Voter fraud
During more than two hours of testimony to the state Ballot Law Commission, top state election officials said a review of state voting records uncovered little evidence of possible widespread voter fraud in New Hampshire during the 2016 general election, according to WMUR. New Hampshire Associate Attorney General Anne Edwards said her office has received 28 allegations of voter fraud since September 2016, only five of which proved to be legitimate cases of wrongful voting. WMUR reported that New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner said New Hampshire also participates in the Interstate Voter Crosscheck Program along with 27 other states to exchange data on registered voters, making up about 45 percent of the U.S. population. An initial check discovered 94,610 records in which a New Hampshire voter and a voter in another state shared the same first name, last name and date of birth. However, only 142 remained under investigation after factoring out various indicators, including social security numbers, clerical errors and voters who didn’t cast a ballot in one or either state in the 2016 general election.

More than 400 volunteers and 280 businesses completed a 10-plus-day $500,000 community-funded renovation of the Crisis Center of Central New Hampshire in Concord, according to project coordinator Building on Hope. Originally established in 1978 as the Rape and Domestic Violence Crisis Center, CCCNH provides services to victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse, stalking and child abuse. According to Building for Hope, the renovation doubled the shelter’s capacity to seven bedrooms with 23 beds and equipped the home with a brand new security monitoring system, mechanical system with heat and air conditioning, windows, exterior siding, interior flooring, a wheelchair-accessible lift on the porch and an ADA-compliant kitchBiotech firm Governor Chris Sununu signed en, bathroom and bedroom.

Amateur blacksmiths
Could backyard steel forges be the next home breweries? By Ryan Lessard
news@hippopress.com
Wearing his kilt and straw cowboy hat, Bert Bingel holds a three-inch shard of metal with a pair of vice grips and slides it into his small makeshift forge, set up in the backyard of his Manchester home. He’s heat-treating the edges of a “leaf point” he’s hammered and ground out of a carbon steel file. He hopes to attach it to the end of a black walnut stick he grew on his property to create a Zulu spear. Bingel, a prominent member of the local beer community and the proprietor of Bert’s Better Beers in Hooksett, started blacksmithing as a hobby about two months ago and has already created a number of blades, including a tanto-style knife with a beer can opener as a handle guard. He holsters the foot-long blade at his side and uses it as his “yard knife.” “They aren’t the prettiest things in the world, but, guess what, they work,” Bingel said. And he said he’s not alone. The hobby is growing in popularity among amateurs, thanks largely to a reality TV show on the History Channel called Forged in Fire. Even Bingel’s doctor is blacksmithing, he said. “What I’m seeing in New Hampshire, even locally, there is an undercurrent of blacksmithing,” Bingel said. “There’s a lot of hammers hitting metal in New Hampshire.”

Bingel describes himself as a “geeky kind of person” who found this hobby to be right up his alley. Looking at his backyard, one can see what he means. Bingel is a beekeeper and a home brewer who keeps chickens and grows his own hops. He has encountered customers in his store who have begun blacksmithing at home and he’s made connections with small commercial forges in the state such as Greasy Luck Forge in Northwood. He’s also found a helpful community online by chatting with a Facebook group called Blacksmithing for Beginners. It has over 75,000 members worldwide. Bingel is a pioneer among New Hampshire hobbyists. He was one of the first in the state to get into home brewing, long before the hobby became mainstream and
the microbrewery industry exploded. Now, he expects blacksmithing to be the next old-world trade to make a comeback. “It’s like beer brewing 20 years ago,” he said. Surprisingly, it doesn’t require a lot of advanced equipment. Bert constructed his forge with repurposed soapstone slabs from an old wood stove stacked over a cinder block above a 225,000-btu propane burner (the same burner he uses for home brewing). He heats the metal to the point that it’s glowing red (about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, he estimates) and hammers away at it. Some people use turkey fryers, he said. While heat-treating the leaf point in his
forge, he said he wants to get the edges to glow a little so they can be harder and sharper while the spine remains somewhat resilient for absorbing shocks. This is the first double-edged blade he’s made, which he said requires some math to accomplish. “This is the first time I’ve used geometry since high school,” Bingel said. When the blade reached the right temperature, he quenched it in an ammo box full of used vegetable oil. And then, for his “signature quench,” he dipped it into a can of beer. On June 30, from 1 to 4 p.m., Bingel will host a blacksmithing demonstration with the blacksmith from Greasy Luck Forge at his store at 1100 Hooksett Road, Hooksett.
Attracting young talent
New statewide partnership focuses on education and workforce needs By Scott Murphy
smurphy@hippopress.com
Go to college in New Hampshire and get jobs here after graduating — that’s the message, aimed at the state’s high schoolers, that a new collaboration between two local nonprofits will be trying to get across. Stay Work Play in Manchester and the New Hampshire College and University Council in Concord will work on several initiatives aimed at creating networks for young people in New Hampshire and promoting the state’s higher education system, career opportunities and cultural and environmental amenities. Stay Work Play is a nonprofit that HIPPO | JUNE 7 - 13, 2018 | PAGE 6
encourages students and 20- to 30-yearolds to stay in, come to or return to New Hampshire. While it has always focused on attracting and retaining young people of all ages, this expanded focus on high school students is a reaction to the significant number of New Hampshire students pursuing higher education elsewhere. According to a 2016 report from the New Hampshire Department of Education on the status of higher education, New Hampshire is the highest exporter of fouryear college students in the nation. Per the report, 48 percent of recent New Hampshire high school graduates migrate out of the state to attend two-year and four-year colleges and postsecondary career schools, compared to only 18.8 percent nationally.
“Our colleges and universities are one of the biggest generators of recruitment for New Hampshire’s employers. If we can lower the number of high school students we export just a little bit, we can keep more young talent in our state,” said Mike Vlacich, president and CEO of the New Hampshire College and University Council. “We want to work with Stay Work Play to engage with high school students, and perhaps middle school students, to make them aware of all the different degree programs, internships and job opportunities available to them in New Hampshire.” As part of the partnership, the council will invest “several thousand dollars” in Stay Work Play to fund expanded pro-
gramming and outreach, according to Vlacich. With the additional resources, Stay Work Play Executive Director Will Stewart said, the organization will expand its capacity from a staff and marketing standpoint to reach more young people through various statewide programs, including college fairs and boosting personal and professional networking opportunities. “Both of our organizations share similar goals, so developing this partnership seemed natural,” Stewart said. “We both want to see more young people stay here in the state, and specifically [the council] wants to see more young people attending New Hampshire colleges and universities. We want to start focusing more
on that younger demographic too, so it seemed natural to us that we could join forces.”
Why young people leave
Stay Work Play partnered with RKM Research in Portsmouth to conduct a survey of 20- to 40-year-olds living in the state. Of the 420 respondents, 52 percent were born in New Hampshire, while 48 percent attended college or a postsecondary program in the state at some point. Eighty-six percent of respondents were at least moderately satisfied with New Hampshire, yet only 48 percent said they either probably or definitely wouldn’t consider moving out of state in the next two years (22 percent were unsure). In terms of key quality-of-life indicators, Stewart said he wasn’t surprised by many of New Hampshire’s strengths and weaknesses. Respondents highlighted New Hampshire’s environment, highquality K-12 and higher education, safety and parks and outdoor recreation, while citing a perceived lack of opportunities for entertainment and professional development as primary reasons for potentially moving elsewhere. Vlacich pointed to this perception as an important reason why the collaboration will aim to connect with young people before they graduate from high school
and decide what they want do next. “Before they make up their minds, we need to make sure we’re doing enough to show them what New Hampshire has to offer,” Vlacich said. “When you make the case for New Hampshire, it’s really compelling. Not only do we receive high rankings nationally for providing a quality education, but we’re also in close proximity to a lot of major cities and great environmental and cultural amenities. We’re really centrally located.” For Stewart, the biggest surprise from the survey was respondents’ struggles with developing social connections. According to the survey, 21 percent of respondents said they didn’t have a single friend nearby, and about 25 percent said they don’t live close to their family. “It was sad to see that, on a personal level, but it’s also really concerning in terms of our workforce recruitment efforts,” Stewart said. “If you have no connections to other people or the community that you’re living in, and another job out of state comes along that offers more money or gives you the opportunity to move back to where your friends and family are, then it’s just that much more likely that you’ll leave.” Based on the survey results, Stewart said, some young professional networks he’s spoken with are going to work toward expanding traditional networking
opportunities and hold more activitybased events and promote local social clubs and civic opportunities. “Traditional networking events, where you go to a restaurant or bar, get a drink and talk to one another, work great for some people. But other people, like myself, are more introverted, and going to talk to strangers in a room full of strangers might not be their favorite activity,” said Stewart. “I’m encouraged by the ideas we’ve discussed to help young people make connections that go beyond traditional networking. For example, I’m a bicyclist, so if there was a group ride every third Tuesday of the month after work, I would be all over that. Then I could naturally and organically start talking to other people and making friends that way.”
Leveraging tourism
Both the New Hampshire College and University Council and Stay Work Play will also continue to try to recruit out-of-staters, for education and employment. One way they do this is by taking advantage of New Hampshire’s tourism industry. A strong Granite State presence at a New York City college fair in April, for example, helped promote the state as an education destination. And about a year ago, Stay Work Play installed a charging
station with panels between the liquor store and bathrooms at the southbound Hooksett rest area off Everett Turnpike, which promotes why people should stay, work and play in New Hampshire. “The strategy for the northbound rest area is to promote tourism, which caters to people coming up north from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island or elsewhere to vacation in the lakes or mountains,” Stewart said. “But the southbound rest area has an economic development focus so we can catch these people after they’ve already been to the lakes and the mountains and all points north. This allows us to promote New Hampshire not just as a tourism destination but also somewhere with great jobs, educational institutions and opportunities that’s worth moving to permanently.” Forum on the Future The New Hampshire College and University Council will be hosting a Forum on the Future breakfast event, “To Stay or To Go: A Look at Why Young People are Leaving NH, Why They Stay, & Why it Matters.” The event will be held at the Puritan Conference Center (245 Hooksett Road, Manchester) on Wednesday, June 20, from 8 to 10 a.m. Tickets cost $30.

Learning with hip-hop
High school teacher develops new learning concept
Justin Ballou, a social sciences teacher at Campbell High School in Litchfield, received the 2018 Christa McAuliffe Sabbatical from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. The sabbatical provides an exemplary New Hampshire teacher a year off with pay and a materials budget to bring a great educational idea to fruition in the classroom. The course you’re developing is called “Don’t Sweat the Technique: American History Through the Lens of Hip-Hop.” Can you tell us more about it? Campbell values competency-based education. ... With my methodologies, there weren’t a lot of tools [to measure competancy] … so I started to develop the 5Cs model, assessing and providing feedback to students for their conceptual understanding, critical thinking, curation, communication and creation. I took a look at the business world and real world and looked at the big picture of what people will have to do over the next several years so we can prepare students to become resilient, self-reliant individuals who can find their own success no matter what that might change into. ... When the Christa McAuliffe came up as an opportunity, my students told me they’d rather focus on what they’re passionate about. They love the relationships they can build with teachers. My idea is to have kids come together in a cohort model and use hip-hop to validate that they understand the moral and sociopolitical aspects of modern American culture. I want this to be bigger than one classroom or idea. There’s a lot of willingness from students, mentors and educators across the state to invest in what a modern classroom can look like.

What benefits does hip-hop provide for students? Hip-hop has gotten a really bad rap. I think hip-hop paints such an accurate picture of American culture, whether Justin Ballou with student. good, bad or ugly. Hip-hop has always had the ability to communicate the realities of society. ... People frowned upon it because it’s not what they’re used to, and it doesn’t paint a rosy picture. ... [My students] have this view that hip-hop is what’s on their Pandora playlist, but it’s so much more. I don’t think you can understand hip-hop unless you understand its past. Instead of encouraging passive consumerism, hip-hop is an engaging art form, which is why it thrives.
What are some of the biggest strengths and weaknesses of how schools teach students nowadays? Right now, the biggest strength, for my own environment at least, is that I have really good relationships with these kids. I sometimes have more honest and open relationships with adolescents, because I feel there’s a connection with what I want to do and accomplish and what they want to accomplish. I think where we’ve gone astray is with people looking at technology as this silver bullet for our problems. We’ve gotten away from that human aspect, and we’ll tell students to “do this because of test scores” or “do this because it’s what we’ve always done.” Another downfall is that there’s not enough time, energy and human capital to invest in finding students’ potential. … However, New Hampshire also has a very close knit community of educators, and when we see something that works and want to invest in it, usually we can scale it pretty easily.
This is obviously an unconventional project in terms of how most modern education is structured. How do you hope to integrate these concepts into the classroom? [By using] a feedback model. As I’ve been providing feedback to my students, they have consistently said they get a lot of value seeing how they’re being assessed based on these five competencies. It’s not just some list of things they need to accomplish. Instead, there are a multitude of ways they can show that they’ve developed these abilities. We provide enough of a structured environment that still fosters autonomy and purpose, which allows us to more accurately assess their skills and abilities. [During my sabbatical] I’m going to be developing a digital platform for this program What are you most looking forward to and seeking feedback from students to see accomplishing with this sabbatical? what they need to make the platform better.

After a spring dominated by the playoff seasons along with the fast and incredible starts respectively by the Sox and Mookie Betts it’s time to clean out some thoughts that have been collecting dust in the attic of this cluttered mind. I don’t know about you, but I’m not all that interested in the current Brady-Belichick drama. My guess is they’re both at fault. I’m sure Coach B is a pain in the butt and could lighten up a little on Brady after 18 years of extreme commitment to winning, while I’m positive Brady overrates Alex Guerrero’s impact on his career. Incidentally, the guy selected at Brady’s 199 draft slot in 2018 was also a QB, Luke Falk, who (1) the Patriots had rumored interest in, (2) has the same last name, though with a different spelling, as Patriots all-timer Kevin Faulk, (3) went to Drew Bledsoe’s alma mater, Washington State, and (4) will play for soon to be Patriots famer Mike Vrabel in Tennessee. That’s too much good Patriots karma for him to be a bust, don’t you think? Having said that, I’m not sure if it’s because he went to the Jets or USC’s recent history, but my gut says Sam Darnold is going to bust. Baseball 101: Speaking of the draft, with it looking like Bedford’s Grant Lavigne could go (or has gone) early in this week’s MLB draft, who holds the distinction of being picked in the latest round of anyone eventually elected to Cooperstown? This week’s sign the apocalypse is upon us comes from East Canton, Ohio, where the local Little League incredibly is giving as the top prize in its annual fundraising raffle an AK-15 semi-automatic assault rifle. And before you ask, yes, it’s the same type of rifle used in the Santa Fe High shooting outside Houston that killed 10 and massacre at Stoneman Douglas High School in Flori-
da that killed 17 and wounded 17 more. The tone-deaf league expects to raise between $1,500 and $2,000 in the raffle. Who wins the fathers-vs.-sons game from the young’ns now playing in the NBA Finals, the Larry Nance-Dell Curry-Mychal Thompson trio or sons Larry Nance Jr.-Steph Curry-Klay Thompson? Size and boards to the dads, shooting to the kids. I have the Thompsons in the familyvs.-family two-on-two round robin. Vegas making the Stanley Cup Finals in its first season is a great story. Among the previous best expansion starts: (1) The “Miracle Mets” came out of nowhere to shock Baltimore in the 1969 World Series after six straight last-place and one ninth-place finishes; (2) The Marlins, much to the chagrin of Red Sox Nation, won the series in their fifth season in 1997 and again six seasons later; (3) Carolina got to the NFC title game in Year 3 and the SB in Year 8, where they lost to the Patriots in 2003; (4) The best starts belong to the Milwaukee Bucks, who jumped from 27 wins to 56 after getting Lew Alcindor in the 1969 draft and then won it all in Year 3. But wouldn’t “Las Vegas Golden Nuggets” have been a far cooler name for a team from Sin City than “Golden Knights”? The only recent better no-brainer nickname was the ill-fated “New Hampshire Primaries,” which local killjoys scuttled in favor of the boring “Fisher Cats.” Back to the Bucks for a second. If you think the 17-time champion Celtics have too many numbers retired, ask yourself how in the name of Jim Loscutoff can a team that won its only title 47 years ago and had limited success since the ’80s have eight numbers retired. Hey, I love the Ballerina Elephant as much as the next guy and if it’s retired in Detroit fine by me. But in beertown Bob Lanier’s was a 9.9 points and 5.8 rebounds per player. That’s simply retired number inflation. Sports 101 Answer: The Hall of Famer picked the latest in an MLB draft was Mike Piazza, who went to the L.A. Dodgers in the
62nd round of the 1988 draft. Sports 102: Lanier went first overall in the 1970 draft, which produced a most-ever five Hall of Famers in the same draft. Name the other four. How come Shaq already has a statue at L.A.’s Staples Center while icon Jerry West does not have one and fellow icon Elgin Baylor got his in April, 47 years after he retired? They were lifetime Lakers and two of the top five players in the NBA’s first 25 years, while the Big Fella played just half his career in L.A. As the entire cast of Roseanne can tell you, like being on the street at 4 a.m., nothing good comes from being on Twitter. But you still gotta love that Twitter-gate story out of Philly. Investigators are now looking at GM Bryan Colangelo’s wife as the one setting up burner Twitter accounts to troll Joel Embiid’s effort and immaturity, fired “process” architect Sam Hinkie and Masai Ujiri, who replaced hubby after he was fired in Toronto. Colangelo denies it, but with them looking to be major free agent players the brass is considering removing him. Mitch Moreland was hitting 70 points higher, had one more homer in 80 fewer at-bats, was a gold glove candidate while making the roster more flexible for late game moves and eliminates the thorny vesting option issue. So what’s to disagree with about Hanley Ramirez being designated for assignment? Dombo can now spend the previously earmarked $22 million more productively in 2019 and right-handed rental bats will be available in July if needed. Sports 102 Answer: The five famers taken in the 1970 draft are Lanier, Dave Cowens and Pete Maravich in Round 1, and Calvin Murphy and Tiny Archibald in Round 2. Finally, hey, Cassius Marsh, after your woeful nine games here, I assure you Patriots Nation is as ecstatic you’re no longer a Patriot as you are. Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress. com.

The Big Story: If you’re planning on catching Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s act at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium you’d better hurry. He’s being called the next big thing around MLB circles these days after tearing the cover off the ball in his first 48 games by hitting .417 with 11 homers, 18 doubles, and 53 RBI. With the Blue Jays tanking and attendance plummeting he’ll be headed to Toronto or AAA soon.

e l a s d r ya D PLUS, TIPS FOR BUYING EATNS SELLING AT FLEA MARK
Shopping for gently used clothing, household goods and furniture at yard sales and flea markets can save you some serious cash — and you might even stumble upon a hidden treasure or two. On the flip side, if you have a bunch of stuff you want to get
rid of, these venues are great ways to clean up your space and make a little money in the process. Check out this guide for tips on the most effective ways to have a successful yard sale or table at a flea market, plus how to shop thrifty like a pro.
Yard sale treasures Tips for yard sale shoppers and sellers By Matt Ingersoll
mingersoll@hippopress.com
Yard sale season is in full swing, and whether you’ve recently done some spring cleaning in your home or you’re moving and want to get rid everything quickly, a yard sale can be a great way to clear all of your clutter and make a little extra cash doing it. “I think the magic of yard sales … is that there are so many great things out there HIPPO | JUNE 7 - 13, 2018 | PAGE 12
you can find for people not to buy new,” said Jason Hackler, co-owner of the New Hampshire Antique Co-Op in Milford, who has attended yard sales all his life and regularly conducts appraisals on yard sale items. If you’re thinking about having a yard sale this summer, or you are itching to get out as a shopper for some great yard or garage sale deals, check out these tips to ensure your shopping or selling venture is a successful one.
For the seller
Depending on what city or town you live in, the regulations that apply for residential yard sales differ, but permits are easy to acquire. Manchester, for example, allows up two yard sales per calendar year, with a $5 fee for each one. Other communities may not require permits, and other special regulations may apply in certain neighborhoods, according to Hackler. If you’re unsure about what your town or city’s rules are, you can check the town website or call town hall.
Hackler said establishing exactly what it is that you want to sell and figuring out how you’re going to advertise are important steps. “I think Craigslist or Facebook are great ways to [advertise], and I also think street corner signage is really smart, but you don’t want to put that up too early,” he said. “It’s dangerous if you put it up a few days or a week before, because you’re going to have people coming by wanting a sneak peek. You really want to
wait until the morning of the sale to put it up, if you can.” Hackler said you should be careful about how much cash you have on hand, and having enough people there to help out with sales is also crucial. “Make sure you’re not doing it by yourself, and it kind of goes without saying, but don’t let any people into your house,” he said. Kathy Bosk of Peterborough, who manages a Facebook group for postings of yard sales statewide, said to make sure you have prices displayed for every item you are selling. “Just be honest with people about what you have for sale and be available if someone has any questions,” she said. Besides selling and buying items, Hackler said yard sales are fun ways to interact with and meet people, and to get kids involved. “It’s a great thing to do with kids because it gives them an understanding money and a little bit of business,” he said. “I always love it when you see a kid set up a yard sale selling lemonade or cookies or something. … It also gives kids the sense and the empowerment in understanding the importance of recycling, and how something that may be junk to you could be someone else’s treasure.” If you don’t have a yard or a space for your own sale, several towns across the state hold community- or town-wide yard sales throughout the year, which will offer rates based on how much table space you require or how many items you are selling.
For the shopper
If you’re planning to spend a Saturday morning on the hunt for deals at yard sales near you, Hackler said it’s best to establish what he calls a “plan of attack” in finding them. “Try to develop a route, bring cash and have both big and small bills,” he said. “Be
prepared to negotiate a little bit if you need to, but also understand that a lot of times, people are pricing things just to sell them quickly. And oftentimes, if you don’t act quickly in making a purchase, there is usually someone right behind you who will buy that item. So decisions do sometimes have to be made very quickly and on the spot.” He added that what you are going to a find at a yard sale — and the listed prices associated with each item — are all dependent on the individual venue. “Typically in a yard sale format, folks are never pricing things too high. It’s more like a ‘let’s get it out of here’ type of price,” he said. “You might see examples of folk art, you might see furniture or old toys or appliances. It all depends on what the seller is trying to achieve with the sale.”
How much is it worth?
Whether it’s an item you bought at a yard sale or looking to sell at one of your own, there are free options you can consider to find out how much something is worth. Hackler said the New Hampshire Antique Co-Op offers free appraisal services for a wide variety of items, yard sale finds included. “Someone might have a question as to the value of something, and they’ll come with it and we’ll evaluate it, or they will send me photographs beforehand,” he said. “We also have a way for people to submit photographs on our website to us via one of our email accounts.” Hackler said oftentimes the really exciting thing can be when items that are appraised turn out to be much more valuable than the yard sale shopper or seller had anticipated. “That’s what the quest and the reason why everyone is going to these yard sales and picking out their plans and plots, isn’t it, is for finding that ultimate hit,” he said.

If you’re looking for a larger space to buy or sell your items, you may have some luck at a flea market, which is basically a giant yard sale with rows of vendors selling everything from new and handmade products to stuff from their own homes that they no longer have a use for. The Salem Flea Market is an indoor and outdoor market with around 150 vendors. Indoors, you’ll find vendors selling new, niche merchandise like cosmetic and fine jewelry, watches, cell phone accessories, luggage and more. Many of them are regular vendors who return to the market every week. Outdoors, you’ll find the vendors who only come for a week or two to sell their personal used items, such as antiques, toys, clothing and electronics. “It’s not like a yard sale where you’re just getting to see one person’s stuff,” market manager Greg Garabedian said. “You get to see more than 100 people who are basically having their yard sales at a flea market, who are all bringing a ton of different stuff.” Jerry Kozicz is a vendor at the Londonderry Flea Market who sells new cosplay accessories, figurines and other fandom products from his recently opened store Geeks-ter in Derry. “The real premise for why I’m here is to get my name out there and redirect people to the shop itself,” he said. His booth is essentially a pop-up version of the store. He keeps inventory
by logging all purchases on a register on his phone, takes credit cards, and offers bags and emailed receipts for all purchases. Michael Costable, another Londonderry Flea Market vendor, started doing flea markets this year as a way to get rid of some old tools that he had from his former job doing auto body work. He had so much fun at the markets, he started going to auctions and buying items to sell at the markets for a profit. “It’s kind of fun to flip stuff, like this,” he said, motioning to an art deco table lamp. “This is a lamp from the ’20s that was in really rough shape that I got at an auction for $10. I rewired it and painted it, put about $10 into it, plus a couple hours of labor, and now I’m asking $50 for it.” The most important thing you need to know about a flea market, Garabedian said, whether you’re a seller or a buyer, is that it’s all about finding a good deal. “A flea market is not a place for highend stuff. If the stuff wasn’t cheap, [the vendors] wouldn’t survive,” he said. “People come looking for a discount. If it’s too expensive, they won’t buy it; if it’s priced right, people will buy.” If you’re a collector or have a certain item in mind that you’re looking for, it’s best to get to the market as early as possible, and to have some knowledge about the item’s value. “With the antiques especially, you may be able to buy something that’s worth some money for cheap because the person selling it doesn’t know [its value],” Garabedian said.

Whether you’re a buyer or seller, don’t be afraid to do a little “wheeling and dealing,” Costable said. Most vendors have come to expect it and will often give in on the price, especially for customers buying multiple items. “Even if it’s just a couple bucks, people like to get a deal,” he said. “That’s why they go to a flea market. It’s all part of the fun, and [the vendors] don’t complain.” Vendor fees vary by market and may
or may not include tables, canopies or other selling amenities. Some markets, like the Londonderry Flea Market, offer vendors one market day a year free of charge, which appeals to people who are only interested in doing one market as an alternative to a yard sale. “Everyone should try it out at least once,” Costable said. “You may have hundreds of dollars worth of stuff in your house just laying around that other people [would] love to have.”

much more depth, and I think that shows in my paintings, and that people who have spent their lives in Boston can see that in my paintings.” Bonner, who is originally from England, describes his artistic style as realist, with an “English sensibility” as it relates to his color palette, which is often subdued and authentically recreates the muted colors of an urban environment. His approach to painting, he said, is simply to follow in the long tradition of humans depicting their surroundings through art, going back as far as the early cave paintings. “As an artist, you can paint anything,” Bonner said. “It’s easier to paint a peaceful seascape or a boat than it is to try and find something interesting in things that are very commonplace, but I enjoy that challenge, and I enjoy going through that process.”
By Angie Sykeny asykeny@hippopress.com The harbor and seaside vistas in Marblehead, Mass., have long been a source of inspiration for artists, but when painter John Bonner moved to the coastal town 20 years ago, he wasn’t interested in its conventional beauty. “I looked at the harbor and thought, there’s nothing for me to paint here. It’s a painting already,” he said. “I ended up painting pictures of everything but, like the graveyard and backs of houses … rather poignant glimpses of the sea through houses and backyards, gardens, backs of restaurants, individual trees.” Bonner has a solo exhibition, “Streetwise,” on view now through July 27 at McGowan Fine Art in Concord, featuring some of his most recently done oil paintings of urban and suburban scenery. One piece, “Hopper’s Hydrant,” depicts a lonely fire hydrant, black with a yellow cap, situated in front of a black building on a shadowy streetside. “The Last Pile of Snow” is a snow pile isolated on a street corner in front of a building, dwindling in the sunlight as a pedestrian walks by. Other subjects Bonner has painted include commuters maneuvering public transportation, construction workers, traffic lights, school and city buses, clusters of traffic, intersections and street crossings,

fast food restaurants and cafes, storefronts and government buildings. “I don’t want to paint things that other people have painted,” Bonner said. “I like to paint things that are a part of people’s daily lives, that may be overlooked or taken for granted, that may be considered ugly by some people.” Bonner frequents areas in Boston like State Street, Congress Street, South Station, North Station and the Bulfinch Triangle, snapping photos at random or doing sketches onsite,

from which he paints in his personal studio. The exact locations of many of the scenes he paints are indiscernible, he said, or may only be recognized by people who are very familiar with Boston. “If you go to a city that you don’t know, you’ll probably end up painting all of the most touristy spots, but I’m not interested in that,” he said. “I’ve spent most of my working life around Boston, and when you’re painting the place where you live, you know it in

Pats Peak Mountain Bike Festival features three races By Angie Sykeny
Race options
asykeny@hippopress.com
Whether you’re a newbie rider looking for your first race or an expert who wants to advance in the national ranks, the Pats Peak Mountain Bike Festival has competitive opportunities for all levels of interest and skill. The two-day event takes place on Saturday, June 9, and Sunday, June 10, at Pats Peak Ski Area in Henniker, and features three races: the 24.12.6 Hours of Pats Peak on Saturday, and the Pats Peak X-Country Challenge and the Pats Peak Downhill Thrill on Sunday. “It’s unique that we have the diversity of three distinctly different races on the same mountain, all in one weekend,” Pats Peak Director of Services Jim Wall said. “There’s the races where you can just come, do your best, have fun and go home, and there’s the races you can do if you’re serious about mountain biking and trying to win.” For 24.12.6 Hours, riders opt for a 6-hour, 12-hour or 24-hour race, during which they will complete as many laps as they can on the mountain’s main bike course. The course is 7.1 miles in distance and has 890 feet of vertical climb, with a mix of single track, dirt, logging roads, switchbacks and downhill, designed to test the rider’s strength and technical ability. Riders who complete the most laps in their competitive categories will be named winners. Conversely, the X-Country Challenge assigns riders a set number of laps (TBA on race day) on the same course and ranks the riders by time taken to complete all of the laps. Winners will have the fastest times in their competitive categories. “The 24.12.6 race, even if you only do the 6-hour, is a huge feat,” Wall said, “but most recreational bikers can do one or two laps of 7.1 miles, so the cross-country race opens things up to a whole other segment of the bik23 Kiddie pool Family activities this week.

I reached the age of 72 recently and have been thinking about the future. What will my gardens look like when I’m 82? Will I be gardening at 92? I realize I won’t always have the strength, stamina and energy to manage all I do now. Here are some thoughts about how I shall cope – and my ideas about what to do, starting now. First, I’ll need to make choices about what flower and vegetable beds I want to keep. Growing lawn is the easiest of all gardening activities. I can see myself riding around on a mower when I can’t bend over easily to weed. And there are plenty of people who will cut the grass for a price. No special knowledge about plants is needed. So at some point, I can let some beds revert to lawn. There are plenty of people who would be glad to come dig up and take away peonies or delphinium. If I put an announcement in the town list serve, I will find takers. Last fall I dug up some big clumps of phlox and offered them free and I found homes easily. When I want to downsize, I will make the takers do the digging! Right now I grow 35 to 50 tomato plants a year. I start them indoors, plant them, tie them to tomato cages, cut off diseased leaves, and harvest them. Do I really need so many? We have plenty of good growers in the region, and a number of great food co-ops. I suppose in 10 years I could downsize. For two summers I’ve had a garden trug, a planting box on legs that I got from Gardeners Supply Co. I have it near the front door, next to the woodpile, with quick access to the kitchen. I grow one or two tomato plants each summer there, along with plenty of lettuce and herbs. It’s waist high, so no bending is required. It’s made of cedar, and I can see using it in perpetuity. It is 6 feet long by 32 inches wide, and 16 inches deep in the middle – fine for tomatoes. Shrubs are less work to maintain than perennials or annual flowers. Plant them, or have someone plant them, and they will require little, as long as they are not varieties that grow inordinately fast. There are plenty that can go several years without pruning. One of my favorites is called fothergilla. It has nice white bottle-brush blossoms in May and spectacular fall foliage. Mine, after 15 years and very little pruning, is only 5 or 6 feet tall and wide. It’s hardy to Zone 4. I love my weeping larch tree that grows in a flower bed. Weepers flow and bend, but do not get tall. Mine will never get more than 3 feet tall. The foliage is soft to the touch. Larches do well in wet soils, and are quite salt tolerant.
Weeping Larch
There are, in fact, dozens of trees and shrubs sold as miniatures. Some of these are just very slow growing (like the lilac Miss Kim, which can get large), while others really will never get tall, even in 25 years. These miniatures do well in flower beds. Purple foliage is great to add color to a flower bed but I wouldn’t recommend common ninebark “Diablo” – it grows too fast and gets to be 10 feet tall before you know it. Now there are a couple of miniatures on the market, “Tiny Wine” and “Little Devil.” I shall try one or both of those. Of course, as we get older, it makes sense to hire some help in the garden. I have been lucky to get a teenager who not only likes being outdoors, but likes gardening and knows the difference between a weed and a flower! Even four hours a week makes a big difference. If you can’t afford to have someone helping all summer, perhaps you can get someone to help clean up the gardens in spring and fall. Once beds are weeded out and mulched, the work of maintaining a garden is not too onerous – even for geezers. I recently re-read Gardening for a Lifetime: How to Garden Wiser as You Grow Older by Sydney Eddison. Sydney is a friend of mine who lives in Connecticut. She has lots of good ideas, including the necessity to accept imperfections in the garden. Many good gardeners are perfectionists. But as we get older, we have to accept that we can’t keep the garden perfect. It’s important to change one’s attitude as one ages. Sydney recommends getting rid of high maintenance plants and letting easy plants dominate. Daylilies, for example, have nice foliage all summer, great blossoms, and are not overly ambitious. (Most don’t try to take over space allocated for other plants.) As we get older, so do our trees, creating more shade. Embrace shaded areas as weeds are sun-lovers and there are plenty of fine perennials that will do well in shade. Some day perhaps I’ll retire and have more time for gardening. In the meantime, I’ll just try to downsize a little every year. Henry blogs at dailyuv.com/henryhomeyer. His email is henry.homeyer@comcast.net.

LOOKING FOR A FLEXIBLE PART TIME JOB?
Dear Donna, Can you tell me if there is a market for old chalkboards? I have a couple and would like to find them a home if possible. Do you have an idea on a value? Candice from Bedford Dear Candice, I would say there should always be a market for any and all chalkboards old or new. It’s so much fun drawing and erasing and drawing again. Did you know that chalkboards go back to the 1800s? The history is an interesting one if you take the time to do some research. Older chalkboards are collectible. The older the better, and condition is important, whether it’s a wall-sized slate chalkboard from a school or a smaller wooden board. Prices are based on form and condition. A good starting price is in the $15+ range going all the way up into around the $1,000 range for some of the older larger school ones. I have had many, from all wooden to slate and never had a problem finding a home for them. So to answer your question, yes there is a market and if pricing it right you should be able to find it a new home.

IN/OUT CAR TALK
1957 Ford full of problems, but not from timing belt Dear Car Talk: You recently wrote about a guy whose timing belt broke, and who tried to restart his car but whose valves survived only through sheer good By Ray Magliozzi luck. In 1957, I had a new Ford six-cylinder, standard shift. Driving out in the country late one night, when the car was relatively new, the timing belt broke. There was no damage to the engine, but I did try to crank it several times, not knowing what had caused the initial loss of all engine power. Was I also one of the lucky ones, or was there something different about that model of Ford? — Lindle There are a lot of differences between the 1991 Honda Civic I wrote about and your 1957 Ford, Lindle. One is that a 1991 Honda was extremely unlikely to die on you in 1991. But more importantly, your old Ford did not have an “interference engine.” Starting in the 1980s, Honda, and lots of other manufacturers, started making engines in which the open valves and the pistons shared the same space at times
HIPPO | JUNE 7 - 13, 2018 | PAGE 26
— or overlapped — inside each cylinder. The timing belt, as its name suggests, ensures that when the valves drop down from the top and open into the cylinder, the piston is not near the top at the top of its stroke. And when the piston comes up to the top, it ensures that the valves are closed and out of the way. The advantage of this design is that it allows for an increase in compression ratio and lets the valves get wider, which means more power and better mileage from the same-size engine. But if the timing belt breaks or jumps, the pistons can — and often do — crash into the valves and bend them. That’s why manufacturers — especially those that use interference engine designs — insist that customers change their timing belts at 90,000 miles (on average). And why we strongly reinforce that advice to our customers. Your Ford did not have an interference engine. So the valves could be fully open and the piston could be at the top dead center, and the two would not touch. So among the many problems you probably had with that Ford, getting the valves crushed by the pistons was not one of them. You also didn’t have a timing belt. You
had a timing chain, or even timing gears, which were more common then.Interestingly, we’re seeing a lot more timing chains again these days, as manufacturers have figured out how to make them truly reliable (unlike the one in your 1957 Ford). And now they almost never fail. So you were one of the lucky ones, Lindle. Lucky you were driving a ‘57 Ford instead of a ‘07 Ford. Dear Car Talk: I have a red 2007 Toyota Tacoma with 133,000 miles. I bought it used eight years ago, and since then I’ve only had to do oil and tire changes, and replace a drive shaft bracket bolt. In other words, it’s been perfect for my cheapskate style of car ownership. The problem is that the paint is peeling something terrible. And while I think it makes me look like a real Texas rancher, my wife is getting pretty embarrassed about it. After a near coronary when I priced a new truck, I’ve decided I have to keep this ‘til at least 200,000 miles. What is your suggestion for the cheapest strategy for keeping a car while at the same time surviving the marital strife? — Jay Well, my brother never figured that
one out, Jay. Which explains at least several of his divorces. But if the paint job is all that’s bothering your wife, then get it repainted. It may cost you a couple of thousand dollars, but if the truck is in good shape and you really plan to keep it for another 65,000 miles, it’s probably worth it. This truck was made and painted during the time when the Environmental Protection Agency was forcing carmakers to use less-toxic paints. And, unfortunately, it took them a few years to get the new formulas right. So a bunch of cars from this era “de-laminated.” That means their paint came off in sheets. On an 11-year-old truck, Toyota will tell you you’re on your own, so don’t expect any help from them. And, depending on the condition of the clear coat and the underlying color, a paint shop may have to strip it down to bare metal to repaint it. But if that keeps your wife happy, and keeps you happy in your old truck, I’d say that’s a few thousand dollars well-invested. In fact, be a sport, Jay ... let her pick the color. Visit Cartalk.com.

A new business venture next door to Cask & Vine in Derry will expand on the restaurant’s concept of offering local eats by serving up locally made spirits. Derry’s first craft distillery will be called Doire Distilling and is expected to open in the coming weeks. Cask & Vine co-owners Andy Day and Alana Wentworth are working with business partner Bill Herlicka, who founded White Birch Brewing, to create a menu of craft spirits that will include whiskey, bourbon, gin, moonshine, flavored vodkas and more. “We started talking about opening up a distillery … to sort of complement the community we already have here. We have a whole circuit of breweries right in Derry and on the outskirts, and a meadery and winery, so this just seemed like a fantastic fit,” Day said. “A lot of breweries are also throwing their beers in barrels, so I love the idea of having a local spirit barrel being used for a local beer and just collaborating with one another.” Since last December, renovations have been underway in the space adjacent to Cask & Vine at 1½ East Broadway that formerly housed a salon and spa. Day said the up and coming distillery also recently received its fermentation vessels, mash tun and 125-gallon pot still that will be used for the spirits. Day said the distillery’s name — pronounced “DWAR-ay” — comes from an old Irish word meaning “oak grove” or “oak branch,” and also features an oak branch in its official logo. “We didn’t want to just be ‘Derry Distilling.’ We wanted to keep it local and sort of tie in to the Irish connection, but for it to have a little bit of flair to it as well,” he said.

Herlicka, who has more than 10 years of distilling experience, said the opening of Doire Distilling lends itself to all kinds of opportunities to be creative with different spirits. “Derry has a long history going back to farming, so I think there are some ways to really bring a unique element to what we’re doing,” he said. “There’s an interesting opportunity with a seasonal rum, and some gin using some botanicals from the Derry area. … I also have a moonshine recipe I’m working on which is really tasty, I have a white whiskey and I have a bourbon recipe.” While there won’t be any seating in the tasting room, the distillery’s close proximity to Cask & Vine gives it a unique touch, according to Herlicka, because many of the spirits will also be available at the restaurant. “One of the awesome parts of it is if you show up and the store’s closed, you’re not going to miss out on the overall experience, because you can just come to Cask & Vine,” he said, “and so, if you want a beer or you
want to try a spirit, great. I think there’s a real nice partnering of the concepts.” For Day, he also hopes local cocktail bars and restaurants will pick up some Doire Distilling products in the future. It’s all about supporting and complementing one another in the craft beer community, he said. “We have some other friends that own establishments similar to Cask & Vine and we’d definitely love to see them using our product and making cocktails,” he said. “There is a buzz within our little community and then outside of that, if anybody wants to pick it up, obviously that’s fantastic.” Doire Distilling

A new eatery in Nashua is offering organic coffees that are hard to find in the Granite State and an extensive menu of crepes with nearly two dozen sweet or savory fillings. Butter N’ Jam is now open on Amherst Street in Nashua. It’s the long-awaited project of owner Andrew Lawrenson of North Salem, who left a career in the auto financing business to pursue one making quick, fresh food. “I always knew I wanted to do something different, but didn’t know what,” said Lawrenson, a Lowell, Mass., native. “I love coffee, and crepes are delicious, easy to handle, and are just like a cool vessel to show the creativity of the food. You can do just about anything with the crepe.” Lawrenson came up with the idea for Butter N’ Jam when he researched other eateries in the immediate vicinity. “I wanted it to be a place with a fast and friendly atmosphere you can stop in, get a cup of coffee, maybe get a nice little breakfast or lunch … or grabbing a snack or something on their way to or from work. I didn’t really feel like there was a place that existed like that around this area,” he said. “So then I thought of crepes, and I mean maybe you’d think of something basic like cinnamon and apples, but we wanted to put the best ingredients out there and make them different at the same time.” Butter N’ Jam’s crepe menu options do include some traditional flavors, like banana and Nutella crepe or fresh fruit and sweet cream crepe. But there are all kinds of unique crepe fillings too, like crimson and gold (a red velvet crepe with diced beets, goat cheese and honey), spiced apple (with walnuts, white cheddar cheese and Chantilly cream) and the Taylor (with Cara cara oranges, dates, feta cheese, mint and serrano chili peppers). The Danny Boy, a crepe filled with Fluff and peanut butter Lawrenson makes himself and tops with crunchy granola pieces and a side of coffee-infused whipped cream, is an homage to his best friend Danny Rogers, who died in 2015. “That was his favorite sandwich, peanut butter and Fluff,” Lawrenson said. “So I wanted to have something that was kind of like in his honor.” The crepe menu features savory fillings as well. There’s the Neville (filled with andouille sausage, bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese and scallions), a breakfast crepe with Muenster cheese, eggs, candied bacon, mushrooms and sour cream, a Greekinspired crepe called the Book of Eli that has feta cheese, garlic, tomatoes, artichoke hearts

and Greek spices, the Alexander (filled with sauteed chicken breast, asparagus, fontina, mushrooms, roasted almonds, scallions and garlic), and a Big Mac sesame seed crepe with American cheese, pickles, onions, lettuce and bacon. According to Lawrenson, you can order one 12-inch crepe or three smaller rolled ones, choosing toppings like Nutella, chocolate sauce, honey, cinnamon and sugar or banana butter. Coffees are available hot, iced, nitro brew, and regular or nitro cold brew. All of them use Sunrise Blend, Italian Roast and other flavors from the New York-based Keuka Lake Coffee Roasters. “Everything’s 100 percent Arabica, certified organic,” Lawrenson said, adding that made-from-scratch flavorings – no artificial syrups – will be used and bags of Keuka Lake ground coffee will likely be available for purchase in the near future. The décor of the space is unique and includes hand-crafted and polished wooden tables with coffee beans inlaid underneath them, a piece of a 1950 Chevrolet Impala mounted on the side wall and converted into a light fixture, and an old fire extinguisher converted into a coffee dispenser. While Butter N’ Jam is starting out with coffees and crepes as its main palates, Lawrenson said he has big plans for the menu in the coming weeks and months. “There will be protein shakes on the menu. I make my own almond milk from scratch that I’ll be using,” he said. “We also plan on putting in an oven that will literally change the whole dynamic. Then we can do healthy to-go lunches like grilled chicken sandwiches, rice bowls and things like that.” Butter N’ Jam Where: 449 Amherst St., Nashua Current hours (subject to change): Monday through Thursday, 8 to 3 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Contact: 943-7203, visit butternjam.com or find them on Facebook

Asparagus Growing food in New Hampshire can be frustrating. Many plants that overwinter in other parts of the country become annuals here, like basil. Others, like bell peppers, often don’t thrive because of the short warm season. Hardy plants like greens, broccoli and sugar snap peas are the most foolproof in my garden as the cold doesn’t bother them. Asparagus is also a great choice but you have to be willing to play the long game. It may take two or three growing seasons to actually grow an edible plant, but if you have patience you’ll harvest asparagus year after year. In fact, asparagus does better in climates with long, cold winters! The long winter gives the plant the chance to come back stronger every spring. They will return year after year as long as they have a dedicated bed in which to grow. Typically, I’m not a huge asparagus fan. It can be a bit tasteless and, unless you cook it just right, lacks a certain something. Yet, homegrown (or locally farm grown) asparagus is a completely different story. The

shoots are tender and flavorful — even my five-year-old daughter eats steamed asparagus like it’s going out of style when it’s grown nearby. It’s a good thing, too because this veggie is loaded with good stuff for anyone’s body. According to Eating Well’s website, asparagus is packed with nutrients (think folate, fiber and tons of vitamins) and can help the body fight cancer. Asparagus contains glutathione, a powerful detoxifying compound that fights free radicals and other carcinogens. It’s famous for making one’s urine smell funny and for good reason: asparagus helps the body release excess salt. All in all, asparagus helps keep the body working at full speed! — Allison Willson Dudas

A wine and spirit tasting set to the backdrop of fine art and sculpture – sounds pretty great, right? That was the concept behind “Expanding Your Palette,” a recent premium tasting event to benefit the Currier Museum of Art. It was part of the New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets Tasting Series and included a variety of wines and spirits for a variety of palates. I will be completely honest here and disclose that I did not visit any of the spirits tables, though it looked like they had some great offerings. Instead I headed right for the wine tables, most of which were set up in the Currier’s Winter Garden Café. I was happy to see that the wine offerings were a scaled down version of the Winter Wine Spectacular, which means that there were some very high-quality wines: some more expensive for special occasions and others for everyday sipping. I was also able to try some new wines. Here are some of my tasting notes. I tried a great selection of wines at the MS Walker tables. After I told them I didn’t like chardonnay, they had me taste Louis Latour Meursault Blanc from France ($59.99), which is a lightly oaked chardonnay from Burgundy. It wasn’t my overall favorite wine of the night, but it was pleasant. I was partial to the reds at their tables, including Beaux Frères Pinot Noir ($59.99) from Willamette Valley, Oregon, which is partially owned by wine critic Robert Parker Jr., and Clio Red from Spain ($44.99). They called the Clio a “cult wine” blend that has developed quite a following, and I can see why: it is elegant, full-bodied and fruity. I would purchase both of these wines to enjoy at home. One of my picks at the Perfecta Wine Co. table was Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California ($89.99). This wine is 100 percent cab, aged 32 months in French oak. All I wrote in my notes was “YUMM,” so I think it is safe to say I enjoyed this one. While it may be out of my everyday price range, it would be great to splurge for a special occasion. At the Pine State table, I was drawn to the Italian wine selections. Among them, I tried Renato Ratti Marcenasco Barolo ($52.99) and Allegrini Amarone ($79.99). The Barolo was a little bit on the drier side, but the Amarone was quite smooth, with notes of dark fruit. I’d definitely drink them again, which would only improve the experience with the right food. Like the Dunn cab, the Amarone is a great splurge because it is such a good wine.

I cannot stress how important tasting events are. I always end up trying something new, learning more about wine and meeting new people. Whether it is a tasting event like this one or just a visit to a winery, I highly recommend tasting events to expand your palate, try new things and just have a nice time enjoying wine.
Coffin Cellars open for season
Coffin Cellars in Webster is now open for tasting room visits and purchases for the season. You can visit them at the Warner Farmers’ Market from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturdays, from 2 to 5 p.m. in the tasting room, or 1 to 5 p.m. in the tasting room on Sundays. They currently have cranberry-pomegranate, black currant, raspberry, Shiro plum, blackberry, apple and jalapeño wines. Their Kiwi Berry wine will be back on the list in a few weeks, and I hear that they may have a new offering by the end of the summer – stay tuned for that! Can’t make it to the tasting room? Their cranberry-pomegranate wine is now available in 15 New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets: Bedford, Conway, Hampton (I-95 North and South), Hooksett (I-93 North and South), Keene, Nashua (Willow Spring Plaza, 25 Coliseum Ave., and 40 Northwest Boulevard), Plaistow, Portsmouth, Rochester, Salem, Seabrook, and West Lebanon.

POP CULTURE
MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Cecilia Zabala with Don Davis and Joe Deleault, Foolin’ in Time (self-released)
This review’s way overdue, given that sax/winds guy Davis hit me up about this release when this trio (with Zabala on voice and guitar and Deleault on keys) had a couple of gigs lined up in New Hampshire back at the end of March. Because my email box is utterly, hopelessly grassed, I’ll simply have to apologize and pick up the pieces from here. These guys are all deeply seasoned session players, wielding credits which range from Jon Bon Jovi to LL Cool J and tons of artists in between; the occasion that brought this LP into existence was a semi-annual visit from the Argentinian songstress, that prompted a tour, between dates of which they recorded these Latin-flavored confections. The mixture here works, if unconventionally, combining Davis’ fetish for things avant and honking and Zabala’s girl-crush on the folklore of her homeland, meaning this isn’t a bossa nova or tango thing at all, but instead a set of lilting, innocently sweet songs that enchant without being the least bit sickly sweet; think French café, to sum it up. A — Eric W. Saeger Jean Chaumont, The Beauty of Differences (MisfitMe Music)
It’s refreshing for me to put on a guitar-jazz record and not immediately have to start thinking of ways to avoid saying “Al Di Meola.” First of all, this New Jerseyite-by-way-ofFrance prefers to let his sax guy (Sam Sadigursky) take the reins and lead the charge on such pieces as the chillloud-chill crooner “Audrey’s Code,” which hints at Yellowjackets in terms of technical muscle-flexing. I have to say I’m not big on well-trained singer ladies showing up to do some too-perfect scatting just in time to ruin my instrumentally evoked reveries, so Tierney Sutton’s dee-yah dee-dada contribution to “Prayer for Creation” wasn’t my bag, but that’s of course a taste (or lack thereof) thing. But as I’ve hinted at already, one of Chaumont’s biggest strengths is his non-standard setup, specifically a close-miked Eastman hollow-body guitar in the main and steel and nylon strings in general; the difference may not be shocking but it does lend a slight rawness to his sound. A — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases
• We begin June 8’s list of new stuff with British comedy-popdiva Lily Allen’s new album, No Shame, her first album since 2014’s Sheezus, after which she kind of lost her mind as quickly as she could, racking up all sorts of personal disasters even though Taylor Swift would have deserved it more. There are a few singles making the rounds, like “Apples” (a minimalist bummer-chill thing about messing up her marriage, co-written with that weird dude who goes by the stage nym Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly) and “Come on Then,” which begins with an almost Death Grips-style doom-pop vibe and eventually jumps into a dubstep chorus. • Look, a new EP from Kansas City on-again off-again emo band Get Up Kids, called Kicker! When last we left this cookie cutter act, they still hadn’t topped the success they’d had by breaking up, which was a slightly more popular move for them than soundtracking the car crash scene on One Tree Hill with their Linkin Park-on-downers single “Like a Man Possessed,” in case anyone’s keeping track. Anyway, Good Charlotte, I mean Fall Out Boy, I mean whoever these guys are have a sample track from this EP available right now called “Maybe.” This doubletime nerd-punk anthem has it all: a pinched-harmonic guitar riff and nerdy singing, that perfect combination of freeze-dried conformist-metal that wants you to think about jumping into a roller coaster with your girl while you’re eating cotton candy and the candy gets in her hair but you’re too much of a nerd to tell her, so of course you end up playing foosball with your friends in mom’s basement while mom wonders if you’ll ever do something right. I’m sure “their fans” will love it. • Gruff Rhys, the singer from Welsh psychedelic band Super Furry Animals, is one of those guys who wears ski caps all the time, even in summer, possibly because self-inflicted baldness prevents hipsters from being required to commit to military service. He has also done electro-pop with Boom Bip in the project Neon Neon, but I have the dreadful feeling that his new album, Babelsberg, will have a dreadful single, so let’s just get this over with. Oh great, the single, “Frontier Man,” sounds like a very sleepy Neil Diamond trying to write an opening credits theme for a 1970s John Wayne movie. This is an affront to my senses, I’m closing this YouTube window and not commenting further on this nonsense except to say “Really?” • Hmm, this might be good, a new album called So Sad So Sexy from Swedish model and dream-pop singer Lykke Li, due June 8. Wait, the single “Deep End” isn’t dream-pop, it’s disposable trapbling snap-dance that sounds like that Beyonce lady. They do this stuff to me on purpose, I’m serious. — Eric W. Saeger

character,” Drouin said. “The kids love to meet the creators of their favorite comics and show off their cosplay of [the comic’s] characters. It’s awesome to see that fandom, and that kids are excited about reading comics.” All day, there will be tabletop gaming and a chance to meet and learn from some indie game creators. In the Gamer’s Sanctuary, you can meet Pikachu, enter the Pokemon Ultimate Gym Leader Battle and play video games like Star Wars Lightsaber Duels, Kinect Star Wars, Mario Kart, Pokemon Stadium and more. A dozen workshops will be offered on topics like drawing Franken-creatures, character design, building a lightsaber, writing a superhero story, creating a comic book, mask making, dinosaurs vs. puppies, nature crowns and cuffs, creating a puppet, wind flags, and the book Animal Gas by Breadwig Ballinger. There will also be a coloring contest and a sketch-off, with chances to win prizes. Drouin hopes that having a kid-focused comic con will give kids a greater appreciation for comics and, for some, a desire to pursue a career in comics or the arts. “I know that when I was growing up, comic books were part of what inspired me to do art,” she said. “We really want to get kids excited about making their own comics and inspire the next generation of future comic creators and authors.”

Kids Con New England, the first and largest comic convention in New England created just for kids, returns for its third year on Sunday, June 10, in Nashua, with comic-centric activities, workshops and panels, plus opportunities for gaming and meeting family-friendly comic book creators, children’s book authors and artists. The event was founded by Emily Drouin, local comic book artist and creator of the kids sci-fi action-adventure comic EPLIS. While participating in comic conventions throughout the region, Drouin noticed that they didn’t have many activities for kids, and the kids comic books were often mixed in with the comic books with adult themes, so she started to organize kid-friendly areas at those conventions. After seeing how popular the kids areas were, she decided to expand the concept and create an entire comic convention geared towards kids and families. “I wanted to have a safe place where families could feel comfortable bringing their kids and know that all the materials are appropriate for kids, while also bringing awareness to the arts and comics and how they are a great way to get kids excited about reading,” she said. Kids Con New England features numerous activities including Jedi training, a sing-a-long and storytime with Moana and other Disney characters, face painting, balloon art and, new this year, a puppet show. Learn how to be a pirate at Pirate Camp, a prince or princess at the Royal Academy, or how to bust ghosts with the Ghostbusters. You can ask Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Loki, Starlord and other superheroes questions during the Ask a Superhero panel, then test your knowledge and win prizes during the superhero trivia contest. Show off your costume for a chance to win prizes during the kids and family costume contest, and capture the fun with a family photo on the interactive green screen, where you can choose from backdrops like the starship Enterprise, Gotham City or your favorite cartoon show. In the Artist Alley, more than 70 artists, comic book creators and vendors will be signing and selling their work and doing art onsite. It’s one of the highlights of the event, Drouin said, for both the kids and the artists. “Last year, it was so adorable — a little girl cosplayed like my comic book

Meet the author of the delightful children’s picture book Sam, Fisherwoman: The Reel Story. Sam is one spirited little girl, convinced she can do things without anybody’s help. One morning down on the dock, she sets out to prove it. Gorgeously illustrated with cut paper, watercolor, and potato block prints. Get a signed copy for your adventurer!
It’s clear from the moment Adam Bosk sets his eyes on a sunburned Polly Costello in a small-town bar in Delaware that Polly is up to something. Of course, Adam is a private investigator who has been hired to “get close to her.” Adam knows she’s left her husband and daughter behind at the beach during what was supposed to be a family vacation. Adam knows she’s up to something but he has no idea what, and Polly isn’t giving anything away. But this noir-style novel, set in the mid1990s, isn’t really about Adam, though he’s plenty compelling on his own. It’s about Polly, who decides small-town life in Delaware suits her just fine and begins work as a waitress at the downscale bar called the “High-Ho,” not really trying all that hard to hide from her husband. Adam, pretending his truck “threw a rod” leaving him stranded too, signs on to be the cook at the bar a few days later. Predictably, they begin a passionate relationship, layered with Polly’s complicated and potentially murderous past, and the fact that Adam is still supposed to be investigating her. Beyond Polly and Adam’s inevitable relationship, there’s next to nothing in Sunburn that I would consider predictable. Polly’s past is checkered. She killed her abusive husband, who happened to be a crooked Baltimore police officer, and went to prison before being pardoned for her crime. She also has two daughters, both of whom — as far as Adam knows — she has left behind. And yet he finds her irresistible. Polly is planning; she’s always planning. Polly had previously won a multimilliondollar settlement at the hospital where her first daughter was born that she has yet to collect. Her current husband, who actually doesn’t know about her past, has no idea about the settlement. While the execution is necessarily complicated, her plan is simple: divorce her husband without him finding out about the settlement, collect her money, and live happily ever after with her two daughters. Falling in love with Adam was not part of her plan. Adam is hired by the crooked insurance agent who worked with her now-deceased husband. While he’s vague with Adam on the details initially, the insurance man predictably wants a cut from Polly’s hospital settlement. As Adam learns more about Polly, while falling more and more in love, it’s clear he’ll need to figure out how to come clean regarding his investigation. Polly is a tremendous character, layered like an onion, intriguing, sultry, mysterious, whip-smart, but terribly elusive. But
under all those adjectives, Lippman does a fantastic job creating a real character — a strong yet flawed woman who dealt with a terrible situation and is still making the best of it. In doing so, Lippman touches on larger issues of abuse, control and domestic violence. Susan Bennett is a terrific narrator, capturing the melodic drum beat of the story’s pace, which is perfectly windy for a solid chunk of the novel, before the pace quickens to a nearly breathless climax. The bulk of the novel is told from Polly and Adam’s perspectives, but you also hear directly from other characters, which helps paint a complete picture of Polly’s situation. The writing is excellent, with wonderful descriptive passages that illuminate characters. Here, Lippman describes Adam’s appreciation for hunting and solitude, specifically the waiting: “He goes to the woods of western Maryland where he can spend an entire day sitting in a tree waiting, and he loves it. Tom Petty was wrong about that. The waiting is not the hardest part. Waiting can be beautiful, lush, full of possibility.” I loved the little details in this book: Polly would submit “whiskey down rye” as an order at the bar when she wanted to see Adam later. Adam is a great cook and it’s hard not to appreciate the care and thought he puts into one of his first, truly kind gestures directed at Polly: he makes her a grilled cheese sandwich with chopped up bacon, because it makes it easier to eat, rather than layering full strips. Sunburn is a love story but it’s also a psychological thriller that keeps you guessing and the pages turning. The story makes you think about how right and wrong fit together. The twists are many and all are satisfying, if blindsiding. B+ — Jeff Mucciarone

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
RBG (PG)
is mildly interesting” haze over this movie. C+ Rated PG-13 for injury images, peril, language, brief drug use, partial nudity and thematic elements, according to the MPAA. Directed by Baltasar Kormakur and written by Aaron Kandell, Jordan Kandell and David Branson Smith (from a book by Tami Oldham Ashcraft), Adrift is an hour and 36 minutes long and distributed by STX Entertainment.
Meet “notorious” U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in RBG, a fun, rousing documentary.
In addition to extensive interviews from Ginsburg herself, we get commentary on her life and work from her adult children, a grown granddaughter, childhood friends, colleagues from her early years, people she represented in cases she argued before the Supreme Court, Senator Orrin Hatch, Bill Clinton (the president who appointed her), the son of longtime fellow-Supreme buddy Antonin Scalia (with whom she appeared in an opera) and Supreme Court watchers, including NPR’s Nina Totenberg. The documentary takes us through her whole biography: her family, her marriage, her early years as a lawyer, her work as a judge and her time on the Supreme Court. Wellresearched and well-rounded, is what I’m saying, at least to the degree that we get to see Ginsburg from many angles — as a mom, as a student, as a lawyer and advocate for women. A centerpiece of the discussion of Ginsburg the person is her very happy marriage to lawyer Martin Ginsburg, who died in 2010. The movie gives us a look at how they balanced their respective careers and how they pulled for each other — Ruth helping him get through law school when he had a bout of cancer as a young man and Martin relentlessly lobbying to get her on Bill Clinton’s short list of justice nominees. And I liked the way we got a sense of her personality — that she’s a bad cook, doesn’t like small talk and enjoyed the balance that taking care of her young child while going to law school brought to her life. RBG gives us a few backstage peeks at the Supreme Court, her legal legacy and explains her “notorious RBG” presence in the culture. To some degree, there is an assumption that anyone seeing this movie has some general appreciative sense of Ginsburg but it does a good job of walking you through her history and the significance of her work. Sure, RBG is clearly the work of fans, but it is effervescent and fun (without being flip

or shallow) as it covers a serious person and weighty subjects. ARated PG for some thematic elements and language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Julie Cohen and Betsy West, RBG is an hour and 36 minutes long and distributed by Magnolia Pictures.
Adrift (PG-13)
A couple sailing across the Pacific is knocked off course in Adrift.
California twentysomething Tami Oldham (Shailene Woodley) is working on boats and docks around the Pacific in the 1990s, when she meets Richard Sharp (Sam Claflin), a thirtysomething Brit who travels where he pleases on the boat he built. The two have a fast romance. When Richard is asked take their boat across the Pacific Ocean to San Diego in return for a nice wad of cash and some first-class tickets back to Tahiti, he agrees but only if Tami comes with him. They set off on their adventure, which, at first, is all rosy sunsets. But then a massive storm seriously damages the boat and sends it far off course. Tami, who is knocked around during the storm, comes to and can’t find Richard. When she finally sees him, he’s clinging to the dinghy some distance off the ship and seriously wound-
ed. She has to set about repairing the ship to even get to him and then has to navigate by sextant and figure out how people and ship will survive long enough to make it to land. So, this is a movie. I mean, there are characters and a setting and a central story. Sure, I spent some scenes waiting for a shark to show up (spoiler alert: there is no shark), but I can’t say that nothing happened or that the writing or acting is on its face terrible in some way. It’s all fine. But that’s really it. At the end of the movie, we see photos of the real life people involved in the story and magazine features about them. I felt like, yes, this would probably make a good magazine piece. The movie has a “huh, interesting” quality in its scenes where we watch Tami set about repairing the ship, breaking out the navigational tools or trying to figure out how to spear fish. But there just isn’t enough to this movie. Enough what, you ask? Enough energy? Enough story? Enough compelling characters? So some degree, yes to all of those, while also all of those elements (pacing, narrative structure, characters and performances) are fine. OK but not awful, not great but not stand-out for any big fault. Woodley, whose performance is the core of this movie, does a completely serviceable job but never really breaks through the “this
D.C. (Knoxville, of Jackass fame) is presented here both as a grandpa (a milder version of Knoxville’s Bad Grandpa old man character) babysitting a tween granddaughter in the present day and in flashbacks as a 1970s-era owner of a crumbling theme park. (The theme: “decay.”) His young teen daughter Boogie (Eleanor Worthington-Cox) comes to stay with him for the summer. She’s misses her father and is eager to spend time with him. But D.C. is focused on waging war with a new, not-terrible amusement park nearby and with developer Knoblach (Dan Bakkedahl), who wants to buy D.C.’s Action Point park and put houses on the lakeside land. As D.C. complains in his narration, these were the good old days of kids being kids, when it was totally fine to hang out doing dangerous stuff with one’s dumb buddies because “personal responsibility” or something. The point of the whole amusement park setting seems to be the many scenes of people falling through or running into or being hit by rickety equipment or repair materials or whatever. Similar to Jackass, these moments are often witnessed by a chorus of goofuses giving a group “ooooh!” to the thing that has just happened. Not similar to Jackass, these moments aren’t as “real” and loose as the staged stunts and pranks of

the TV show and previous movies. This is standard movie pratfall fare which is mostly just an underlining of the central joke about about how crummy the Action Point park is. As poorly constructed as the rides in this park is the subplot about D.C. and his relationship with Boogie. It is a lot of tell (often via Grandpa D.C.’s narration), very little show. It is clearly meant to be a glue that turns the collection of pratfalls into a story but it doesn’t hold. Either we needed none of this or a lot more to make it anything.
Action Point feels like Johnny Knoxville trying to split the difference between Jackass/Bad Grandpa-goofiness and a more conventional kind of comedy. Unfortunately, all he really does is water down what could have been silly fun about either. D Rated R for crude sexual content, language, drug use, teen drinking and brief graphic nudity, according to the MPAA. Directed by Tim Kirkby with a screenplay by John Altschuler & Dave Krinsky, Action Point is an hour and 25 minutes long and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

When Poison bass player Bobby Dall was a teenage rock fan at his first festival show, the lineup included Cheap Trick. He remembers the event well. “They were the ones that actually blew me away,” Dall said of the future Rock and Roll Hall of Famers in a recent phone interview. “They were just amazing.” These days, the circle has turned. Now Dall’s group is topping the bill while out on tour with Cheap Trick. The two bands play back to back and have shared the stage a few times. After their first album was released 1986, Poison was the opening act for a few dates headlined by then MTV darlings Ratt. “If you count that, we’ve done four tours together,” Dall said. “They’re great guys; I have nothing but compliments to say to them.” With a lineup rounded out by alt metal rockers Pop Evil, the current summer-long run stops in Gilford on June 15. There was a time when bands like Poison were seen as a passing fad, but a catalog of hits and solid instincts finds them out and still packing venues 35 years after Dall met singer Bret Michaels and drummer Rikki Rockett when the three were still playing in Pennsylvania cover bands. After a move to Southern California, the original quartet swapped their guitarist for CC Deville — Slash auditioned but didn’t get the gig. They hit the L.A. club circuit hard. Two albums in, Poison was headlining, and brushing off anyone labeling them just another hair metal band, while cranking out hit after hit. To date, the band has sold 45 million albums worldwide, 15 million in the U.S. But when a wave of alternative acts like Nirvana and Pearl Jam rose to prominence, management advised them to lay low. For a big chunk of the 1990s, they were invisible.

“I never let it personally bother me; I knew it was a cyclical business, and once we came back, it’s been right where we left off,” Dall said. “The Rolling Stones are the biggest rock and roll band in the world, which proves if you can keep the original members, you’ll have longevity.” Most Poison shows begin with “Look What The Cat Dragged In,” the title cut from their 1986 debut. The choice serves two purpose, Dall said. “It’s a big rock song, and also the best type to get your sound dialed in,” he said. “No matter how many times you soundcheck … when you throw in 10,000 to 15,000 people, everything changes from a sonic point.” Dall names “Ride the Wind” as his personal favorite Poison song to play, but adds that it tends to change every night. “It’s gonna be the one that gets the most reaction, and it always depends on the city,” he said. “It’s a greatest hits set [so] there’s not a song the audience doesn’t know.” It’s true — from “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” to “Unskinny Bop” and “Talk Dirty to Me,” every one’s a hard rock sing-along. “That depth of catalog,” Dall said, “lets us keep on decade after decade.” Not that there aren’t thoughts of cooking up a batch of originals to follow up 2002’s Hollyweird, their last studio LP.
“I can’t speak for every member of the band … [but] I know I would like to make new music,” Dall said. “But I’m not gonna lie to you and say something is in process when it’s not. It has a lot to do with all the band members and their personal lives. … It is somewhat frustrating. I would love to do it, but it’s not going to happen this year.” Because Bret Michaels has a solo career much of the year, the band’s tours are seasonal. When Dall’s not on the road, he tends to pursue business interests and doesn’t seek out other projects. “Musically, Poison is enough for me,” he said. “If there’s a year the band isn’t going to tour, I find other things to fill my time.” How long it does it take Poison to find its mark after months away from the stage? “You know, we pretty much hit it running, but it does take a few shows to get into a full stride,” Dall said. “We did eight to nine days of rehearsal, and as we go along we’ll change the show up a little bit. It takes about a week or two.” Poison, Cheap Trick and Pop Evil When: Friday, June 15, 7 p.m. Where: Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion, 72 Meadowbrook Lane, Gilford Tickets: $35.75 to $85.75 at banknhpavilion.com

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) In Little Rock they know / Not answering the telephone is a way of rejecting life, / That it is our business to be bothered, is our business / To cherish bores or boredom, be polite / To lies and love and many-faceted fuzziness. —The Chicago Defender Sends a Man to Little Rock Be polite to fuzziness.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
It’s a dead language
In Charleston, South Carolina, Cara Koscinski and her whole family were looking forward to her son Jacob’s May 19 graduation party. The Post and Courier reported he had excelled in his Christian-based homeschool program, earning a 4.79 GPA and the summa cum laude distinction, an honor Koscinski included in the wording on the cake she ordered online from her local Publix store. When the software informed her “profane/special characters (are) not allowed,” Koscinski made clear that phrase was Latin, meaning “with the highest distinction,” and even included a link to a website explaining it. Still, when the cake arrived, it read: “Congratulations Jacob! Summa --- laude Class of 2018.” Jacob was embarrassed, and Koscinski had to tell her 70-year-old mother why the store had censored the word. Publix offered to remake the cake, but as Koscinski noted, “You only graduate once.”
Ironies
Police officers in North Ridgeville, Ohio, were sure the man who called them at 5:26 a.m. on May 19 to report being followed by a pig was impaired and hallucinating. But sure enough, the Associated Press reported, officers on the scene found a completely sober man, walking home from the Elyria Amtrak station with a pig trailing behind him. The department’s Facebook page reported that Patrolman Kuduzovic wrangled the oinker into the back seat of his cruiser and later secured it in the station’s dog kennels, where the owner later retrieved it. “Also,” the post noted, “we will mention the irony of the pig in a police car now so that anyone that thinks they’re funny is actually unoriginal and trying too hard.” Touche.

• Lyons, New York, resident Jesse Graham, 53, must have been surprised when deputies of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department appeared at his door on May 11. WHEC TV reported that Graham, a fugitive wanted by the Mooresville (North Carolina) Police Department, had apparently accidentally dialed 911, summoning the deputies himself. Graham was charged with being a fugitive from justice and possession of marijuana, and he awaits extradition to North Carolina. • In Lawrence, Kansas, architecture students designed a new bike rack for the Prairie Acre Ribbon Classroom, the first outdoor classroom at the University of Kansas. The metal rack features the letters P-A-R-C, but viewed from another vantage point, they spell C-R-A-P. Social media lit up after a photo was posted May 13, including, “It’ll make a fine bike rack. Crap a diem!” Project PARC KU responded: “The photograph shown is not the intended vantage point, nor is it the message of our project,” but at press time,

Lake Worth, Florida, residents where startled to receive a power outage alert on May 20 that also warned of a “zombie alert for residents of Lake Worth and Terminus,” a possible reference to a city in the TV show The Walking Dead, reported by the Palm Beach Post. “There are now far less than 7,380 customers involved due to extreme zombie activity,” the message continued. “We are looking into reports that the system mentioned zombies,” city communications specialist Ben Kerr said. “I want to reiterate that Lake Worth does not have any zombie activity currently and apologize for the system message.” Visit newsoftheweird.com.
