Since 1998, lesbians, gays and bisexuals have been protected, by law, against sexual orientation discrimination in employment, public accommodations and housing. Today, 20 years later, we are finally able to add the “T” to the LGBT community and offer full protection against discrimination for many diverse populations here in the Granite State. On June 8, Gov. Chris Sununu signed HB 1319, a law that prohibits discrimination based on gender identity. This is especially timely since June is Pride month in New Hampshire and across the country. Getting this law passed has been a key effort by the LGBT community for more than a decade. Adding this protection to law indicates, in my opinion, the heightened awareness of those who identify as transgender and/or gender-queer, and the bias they face. The state’s passage of this bill sends the message that no one person should be discriminated against based on their gender identity, which is a wonderful step forward. But laws don’t always change culture, and transgender individuals are still disproportionately represented in our criminal justice system and in homelessness because of our discomfort with their identity. The statistics are startling. Nearly one in six transgender Americans, and one in two black transgender people, have been incarcerated. Housing security isn’t much better with one in five transgender people having experienced homelessness at some point in their lives. The factors behind these high rates are often due to family rejection, violence, discrimination, and a lack of economic opportunities. Even with New Hampshire’s workforce shortage, there are many who will be denied jobs just because they’re transgender. Fear, in this instance, can lead to an unnecessary strain on our systems and create an economic loss for all parties involved. When a business doesn’t hire a transgender person, they’re sending the message that they’d rather suffer the economic loss of keeping a job unfilled due to unnecessary fear of accepting someone different from them. Our New Hampshire elected officials are hoping to send a different message with HB1319. Progress can feel glacially slow at times but there are always moments of hope. This year’s Pride month brought hope and optimism for the LGBTQ community here in New Hampshire. Now it’s up to us to overcome the fear-mongering that can come with change. We have a real opportunity to send the message that we are a welcoming state by changing our own perceptions of those who identify as genderqueer and transgender.

NEWS & NOTES
Death penalty
Gov. Chris Sununu vetoed a bill outlawing the death penalty in New Hampshire, according to a news release. SB 593 would have changed the penalty for capital murder to life imprisonment without the possibility for parole. Gov. Sununu originally announced his intent to veto the bill in February before the Senate voted in favor of repeal in April. In his veto statement, the governor said, “Abolishing the death penalty in New Hampshire would send the wrong message to those who commit the most heinous offenses.” Sen. Kevin Avard (R-Nashua), the primary sponsor for SB 593, released a statement after the governor’s veto saying there have been “a number of cases in other states where they wrongly took innocent lives or when those on death row were later exonerated. The cost of a human life as a result of an error is too great a risk for our state to take.” According to the Death Penalty Information Center, New Hampshire has put 26 people to death in the state’s history, with the last execution happening in 1939.
ACA marketplace
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Hampshire, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Ambetter from New Hampshire Healthy Families will continue offering health insurance in New Hampshire in 2019 through the state’s Affordable Care Act marketplace, according to NHPR. Anthem was the only participating insurer when the ACA took effect in 2014. Since then, the number of insurers has fluctuated from as many as five companies in 2015 and 2016 down to three
this year. According to NHPR, all 26 of the state’s acute care hospitals are included in at least one of the insurance companies’ networks, and both Ambetter and Anthem have statewide networks in the individual market. Harvard Pilgrim’s network excludes Carroll County. The companies have until Friday, June 29, to submit final rates for the next enrollment period starting in November. Next year, the ACA marketplace will no longer require individuals to purchase insurance or face a tax penalty, due to a provision in the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
Energy vetoes
Gov. Chris Sununu vetoed two bills related to energy prices in New Hampshire, according to a news release. SB 365 would have required electric companies to offer to purchase the net energy output of the state’s biomass and wasteto-energy facilities. SB 446 would have increased the capacity of customer generators who participate in net metering, which requires utilities to buy back unused electricity from certain renewable energy consumers with approved generators. In his veto letter, Gov. Sununu said the bills “combined would cost New Hampshire electric ratepayers approximately $100 million over the next three years,” and conflict with his administration’s 10-Year Energy Strategy. In a statement, House Democratic Leader Steve Shurtleff (D-Penacook) said “the governor’s decision to block SB 365 will cripple the biomass industry and jeopardize hundreds of forest industry jobs across the state.” Regarding SB 446, Shurtleff said Gov. Sununu’s veto “will

discourage Granite Staters from utilizing the renewable small-system generators that reduce consumption of commercially produced power from out-of-state.”
Drug coordinator
New Hampshire will hire a program director and opioid coordinator to determine how the state will spend $23 million in new federal funding to combat the opioid crisis, according to the AP. Democratic Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan announced last week that New Hampshire will get a significant increase in state-based opioid grants over the next few months from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The money can be spent to help increase access to medication-assisted treatment and other evidence-based programs, but can’t be used to build new treatment facilities. In an interview with WMUR, Gov. Chris Sununu said the state will work quickly to fill these new positions to make sure the money is spent in areas that will get the best results.
MOOSE PLATES
Two tornadoes touched down in Bath and Lincoln during a severe thunderstorm that hit the state last Monday, according to WMUR. The National Weather Service confirmed an EF-0 tornado, with wind speed of 75 mph and a max width of 25 yards, traveled 9.45 miles from Bath to Easton along Route 112. The second tornado briefly touched down in Lincoln.
Faulty city pipes were once again the culprit of a sinkhole on Langdon Street in Manchester, CONCORD according to WMUR. A broken water pipe originally installed in 1968 caused the sinkhole and forced the city to call in a crane to remove three Hooksett vehicles parked over the hole. The same stretch of road experienced a sinkhole last November Goffstown due to issues with a pipe installed back in 1888.

New Hampshire’s popular “Moose Plate” program added the letter “P” for “preservation” to its license plates after selling out of two plate combinations, according to a news release from the state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. Along with an illustrated moose designed by Granite State artist Jim Collins, the letter “C,” for “conservation,” was part of each five-digit number combination. As “C” plates sold out, the letter “H,” for “heritage,” replaced “C.” The first plates with the letter “P” were issued this spring. Since the state started issuing Moose Plates in 2000, the program has raised more than $20 million for conservation, heritage and preservation programs.

HOUSE ATTENDANCE
The New Hampshire House of Representatives never had full attendance during this past year’s legislative sessions, according to an NHPR report reviewing the chamber’s attendance records. At least 46 seats in the legislature’s 400-seat chamber were empty during every session this past year. NHPR reported that attendance ranged from a peak of 354 down to 272 this year, with an average attendance of 330. Additionally, NHPR’s report found that roughly 60 percent of House votes were decided by a margin smaller than the number of legislators absent. NHPR noted that some of these absences were due to “deaths, resignations or other legitimate vacancies.”

Thanks to some help from Mother Nature, New Hampshire’s maple syrup producers enjoyed a strong season this year. Increases in the number of taps, yield per tap and overall production landed New Hampshire fifth in maple-producing in the country, behind Vermont, New York, Maine and Wisconsin. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s annual maple syrup production report, New Hampshire maple producers bottled 163,000 gallons of syrup in 2018, up about 6 percent from last year’s season. New Hampshire producers added Ryan’s Sugar Shack.

After some warmer than usual temperatures in January, Fadden said, the state “went right into the freezer again” in February and March, stalling sap flows in maple trees and allowing maple producers to collect for longer. Still, while New Hampshire’s production increased overall, the irregular weather provided different results for producers in
The sweet spot
Still, many maple producers did experience a great season this year. Fadden said the middle part of the state seemed to have the most success this year. “We had our best sugaring season yet,” said Lane Bockius, whose family owns and operates Crow Valley Farm in Hopkinton. “We had a chance to tap our trees earlier than we usually do, in January instead of February. We lucked out with the warm spell that New Hampshire had, creating a heavy sap flow early on.” Dean Wilber of Mapletree Farm in Concord has followed the maple industry for “71 of my 78 years” and opened Mapletree 43 years ago.

was down to 850 compared to about 1,500 last year, he was able to produce about 20 more gallons of maple syrup with the sap he collected for a total of 218 gallons. That rivals some of his best production years in the early 2000s, when he would produce up to 225 gallons of syrup with just 550 taps. “We put out as many taps as we can so we can produce the same amount of syrup, but it doesn’t always work that way,” said Wilber. “We were short a couple hundred taps from what we usually have out, but we made more syrup than we have over the past few years.” Even with the strong season, Wilber doesn’t expect to repeat the level of production he had a couple decades ago, primarily due to continually rising temperatures year after year. “Some people don’t want to admit that there’s climate change, but I’ve seen it in action every season,” said Wilber. “The season has typically ended earlier and earlier, which means producers are tapping earlier and earlier to collect as much sap as they can.”
Next-gen syrup
Even with these challenges, the next generation of maple producers is helping the industry continue on in New Hampshire. Ryan Neal began tapping maple trees in his backyard when he was just 13 years old. Four years later, he now runs Ryan’s Sugar Shack in Chester, pulling sap from roughly 20 miles of tubing tapped into about 1,500 maple trees. This year, Neal produced more than a third of a gallon per tree, compared to a quarter of a gallon in years past.

“It really came down to if you hit the right time to tap this year between cold spells,” said Neal. “I had a pretty exceptional season this year, and I think most guys who use tubing will say similar things.” According to Neal, tap holes for tubing systems stay open for up to nine weeks, whereas holes for traditional sap buckets will only stay open for about five weeks. He explained that taps on tubing are typically smaller and provide a sealed passage for sap to flow through. Since taps for sap buckets drip into an open container, trees will respond to the increased bacteria from air and bugs getting into the bucket, closing up the tap holes more quickly and diminishing sap flow. Neal also attributed New Hampshire’s strong production this season to an increased number of maple producers in the state. According to Fadden, the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association currently has about 412 members, up from 398 in 2016. “It’s an addiction — once you start, it’s very difficult to stop,” said Fadden. “There are folks who start out in their backyard with 10 to 20 taps one year, and then down the road they might have as many as a thousand taps. There’s something about making something natural with your own hands that’s really gratifying.” Pfeil of The Maple Guys added that the best part of making maple syrup is that anyone can do it. “Anyone can get a couple buckets or a milk jug and hang it on a tree and make syrup for themselves,” he said. “It’s basically a science project the whole family can do.”

Family Ties, a new program providing virtual counseling services between inmates and their loved ones, will give kids better access to their incarcerated parents. The New Hampshire Department of Corrections’ Family Connections Center will run Family Ties along with child and family counselors from Womankind Counseling Center in Concord, the Greater Nashua Mental Health Center and the University of New Hampshire’s Marriage and Family Therapy Center. “One of the areas where the [Family Connections Center] needed strengthening is connection between incarcerated parents and their children, whether it’s mending broken bridges or maintaining relationships,” said Kristina Toth, program administrator for the Family Connections Center. “We’re trying to create stronger families as a whole, as well as helping to strengthen co-parenting relationships for parents that are no longer a couple.” The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation awarded a one-year, $25,000 grant to Womankind Counseling Center in Concord last December to launch Family Ties. The goal of Family Ties is to reach as many New Hampshire children with incarcerated parents as possible, which totals about 13,500, according to Toth. The Family Connections Center will work to coordinate therapy sessions for inmates, their children and their spouses or co-parents from early on in the parent’s sentence up until their release back into the community. Children and their caregivers will meet with a counselor at one of the program’s healthcare providers in Concord, Durham or Nashua, while the parents in jail will televisit into the session. Family Ties is available to fathers at the New Hampshire State Prison for Men in Concord and the Northern New Hampshire Correctional Facility in Berlin who have completed certain classes provided by the Family Connections Center. Toth said the program’s first participants began counseling in May, and there are currently only a small number of families in the program. This is due to a “slow start” because of the amount of time it takes to plan and recruit partner agencies that can provide counseling, Toth said. Barbara Frankel, director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Center at UNH, said the center has a longstanding relationship with the Family Connections Center and received its first referral last month. She said the center is staffed by graduate students at UNH and provides a “dual purpose of providing quality training and an amazing service to the com-

munity.” She also said the center has a flexible fee scale, and participants in the Family Ties program could potentially continue counseling sessions at little or no cost. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us to help incarcerated fathers and families to stay connected and build and maintain their relationships, so they can be stronger families when they return to the community,” Frankel said. “This is meant to help children manage the separation in a way that heals and makes parent connections possible once they are brought back together.” Family Ties received an extension for its grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation until June 2019, by which point Toth hopes to reach the program’s initial goal of helping an estimated 240 children and 190 incarcerated parents. This includes a resiliency seminar which will teach incarcerated parents how to build coping skills and overcome adversities related to parenting behind bars. Over the next several months, Toth hopes to expand the program to include the Correctional Facility for Women in Concord, as well as other family health organizations across the state. She said the Greater Nashua Mental Health Center was the most recent organization to join Family Ties and is helping the program reach more families in southern New Hampshire. “Having these partnerships in place will help us continue the program [after June 2019],” said Toth. “We’re hoping to build a bigger network of organizations willing to work with these families.” Children at risk A report from the National Council on Family Relations released in 2018 found that children with incarcerated parents are: 5 to 6 percent more likely to develop depression and anxiety 18 to 33 percent more likely to exhibit aggression 47 to 49 percent more at risk of infant mortality 94 to 99 percent more at risk of childhood homelessness

NEWS & NOTES
QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Nonprofit tax credits The New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority awarded $4 million to nonprofits throughout New Hampshire as part of its tax credits program, according to a news release. New Hampshire businesses support the selected projects through the program by purchasing the tax credits, resulting in the nonprofit receiving a donation and the company receiving a 75-percent New Hampshire state tax credit against that contribution. QOL Score: +1 Comment: The tax credits will support various initiatives, including access to quality, affordable child care, downtown revitalization projects and developing affordable workforce housing. Among the recipients, the Boys & Girls Club of Manchester received $250,000; the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord received $312,500; and the Regional Economic Development Center in Raymond received $250,000.
School safety The Executive Council approved an additional $10 million for school safety projects, according to Foster’s Daily Democrat. Local school districts can apply for funding after conducting a security assessment with local first responders, school and state officials to identify areas of improvement. QOL Score: +1 Comment: According to the report, the state has invested $30 million for safety measures at 90 percent of New Hampshire’s schools. The money comes from the state’s general fund.
Water quality New federal data on industrial chemicals in groundwater suggests New Hampshire’s regulations are too lax, according to NHPR. A study released by the Centers for Disease Control tightened the suggested risk level to 11 parts per trillion for the chemical PFOA and just over 7 parts per trillion for PFOS. New Hampshire allows up to 70 parts per trillion for both chemicals, which is the current contamination advisory level recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency. QOL Score: -1 Comment: NHPR reported that one part per trillion is roughly the same size as a grain of sand in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Unsafe contamination levels in groundwater supplies can cause a variety of health issues, including liver damage, increased cholesterol, thyroid disease, immune deficiencies, asthma, fertility problems and complications with pregnancy and child development.

The last couple of summers have been a busy time for the Celtics. But with Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward expected back from the injuries that kept them out for big parts of the regular season and all of the playoffs, it’s like they already have added two 20-pointsper-game free agent scorers to last year’s 55-win team. But, with Marcus Smart a restricted free agent and Aron Baynes a regular free agent, Danny Ainge does have some decisions to make about keeping them or filling holes if they leave. Plus, with some intriguing names headed to free agency and on the trading block, July could be interesting for hoop heads. Especially with the Cs and rivals in Philly, Cleveland, Toronto and L.A. dead center in most of the rumors. So here are some thoughts on all that, plus Thursday’s draft through the lens of how it all impacts the Celtics. Marcus Smart: We’ll soon see whether Danny’s gamble to let Marcus test the market was smart. The good news is, being a terrible shooter in a 3-happy league could keep the bidding down. He also could accept a $5 million tender offer to stay to become a total free agent next summer and Danny can match any offer he gets. But if someone loves his leadership, tenacity and intangibles as much as I do he could get too pricey. Especially, with Kyrie and Marcus Morris free agents next summer and Terry Rozier entering the same contractual stage this October. Probably gone, but I hope not. Aron Baynes: He’s a 20-minute-per player and might be the worst finisher around the rim of any 7-footer I’ve ever seen. So he’s not irreplaceable. But he added the toughness and physicality so missing in the Kelly Olynyk era, the stat geeks will tell his defensive numbers were almost off
the charts and he even started to hit some spot up threes in the playoffs. If they can afford it, keep him. The Kawhi Leonard Option: He’d make Boston really good and dynamic defensively. But he’d likely cost Jaylon Brown and with the 2019 free agent dreaming about heading home to L.A. that’s too much for a one and done. I’d be tempted to consider him and Paddy Mills for Kyrie, Marcus Morris and the lottery protected 2019 Clippers pick. But with Kyrie more likely to re-sign here after 2019 it’s still too risky, so no thanks. LeBron the Free Agent: I think he’d probably make the Celtics the team to beat. But the fan in me wants to see what this team can become and LeBron would change that. Of course, with (gulp) Philly having cap space and dreams he’ll go there, that’s an opening to make them scary good. Personally I hope he stays in Cleveland because it’ll make things more interesting. And, if I’m the Lakers, I pass on LeBron to save cap space for the much younger Kawhi in 2019. Dwight Howard: A soon to be on the market big to consider as a replacement for Baynes. However, there’s a reason he’s played in three teams in three years. For me the issues are the head and little desire to win. Could that be changed in the Brad Stevens environment? Maybe, but it seems doubtful he’d be willing to accept a role to fit in. So despite his shot-blocking and 12 rebounds a game I’d pass. Robert Williams III: On paper the newest Celtic is exactly what they need, an athletic big who blocks shots, rebounds and can run the floor. The UL called it a “steal,” but I’d call having an alleged top 10 talent fall in their lap at 27 lucky. Plus there’s also got to be a reason he slid that far. And sleeping through Friday’s conference call in his first official duty as a Celtic probably gives us a clue what that might be. I’ll wait and see on him.
The Draft: With all the praise for the Williams pick still in the air, it’s helpful to remember we hear every year how great almost every pick is. Then only a handful turn out as expected, while someone drafted lower turns out to be much better than at least one of the top three picks. Like last year when top pick Markelle Fultz had a nightmare season and Donovan Mitchell was the best guy in the draft (so far) after sliding to 10. Though the best example was 2014 when we heard all year there were no less than six future NBA superstars in that draft. Four years later the results are now, and only Joel Embiid is on his way to being that. And he played only 30 games in his first three seasons. Where the rest stand is in the Glossary. Missed Opportunity of the Draft: Having said that, before needing back surgery Michael Porter Jr. was considered the most talented freshman entering college a year ago. So, once he slid past 10, I was hoping Danny would find a way to swoop in to draft him. With three and maybe four first-round picks next year, he could afford to gamble. Because if Porter showed next year he’s OK and as good as advertised, putting him with the Sacramento pick would likely let them do a major deal without having to give up Jaylen Brown or Jason Tatum. The 76ers: Given that Ben Simmons needs the ball Kawhi would be their perfect addition. But either he or Lebron would make them really tough to beat. And they’d have to renounce JJ Redick’s long-range shooting but they have Fultz and extra firstround picks to deal. The Lakers: I’m keeping my eye on them for one reason. If they somehow get LeBron and Leonard or Paul George the pressure is really on. Because with L.A. having won 16 NBA titles to Boston’s 17, the unthinkable prospect of the Celtics not having the most titles in NBA history would be in play. Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress.com.

Gabriel goes undrafted The Big Story: Looks like the gamble to leave two years of eligibility on the table at Kentucky was a miscalculation for Wenyen Gabriel. Despite real Dennis Rodman-esque defensive promise, the local hoopster was not selected in Thursday’s NBA draft due to holes in the offensive game. That leaves the option of likely joining the Sacramento Kings NBA Summer Leagues in trying to hook on for the year as an undrafted free agent. Or if that doesn’t work, he can follow the route Matt Bonner took to kick-start his pro basketball career, by heading overseas to polish his offensive skills for another crack at the NBA in a year or two.

Dennis Rodman: One-time NBA rebounding machine and all-around gadfly. Now plying his trade as an international diplomat by being with the president’s traveling party when he met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un earlier this month. The 2014 draft class by spot they were taken: (1) Matthew Wiggins – He’s averaged 19.7 points per in his career after going for 20-plus twice. So he’s a pretty good scorer, but has holes in his game and has not yet lived up to the Jordan-eque level predicted for him. And he’s playing in Minnesota, not Cleveland, where he was picked. (2) Jabari Parker – had his moments against the Cs in the playoffs and at times with Milwaukee. But thanks to two ACL tears he missed 145 games in four years and never likely will be the star many said he’d be. Plus, in being a restricted free agent he could be on the move. (3) Joel Embiid – He sat out his first two seasons entirely and has only played 93 games of a possible 328. But after a mostly healthy year he’s headed to major stardom. (4) Aaron Gordon – He finally averaged more than 12 points per in 2017-18. But there’s been no magic in Orlando since he arrived, which has another new coach and is rebuilding again after winning 25 games. (5) Dante Exum – a major bust in Utah helped along by recurring injuries. (6) Marcus Smart – Not the major star, but a flawed guy who just makes winning plays.

Suggested reading: More book lists Steve Viggiano, Head of Information & Technology at Manchester City Library, recommends the book list from the The Big Read (arts.gov/national-initiatives/ nea-big-read) sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and Arts Midwest. “The Big Read’s goal is for more people to read for pleasure,” Viggiano said. “They choose books that encourage reflection and build community through conversation. This list shows what different communities across America are reading and discussing.” Yvette Couser, Library Director at Merrimack Public Library, said the library is currently promoting the list from PBS’ The Great American Read (pbs.org/the-great-american-read). The eight-part television series features documentary segments about 100 of America’s best-loved novels. The list was compiled according to the results from a demographically and statistically representative survey conducted through a public opinion polling service asking Americans to name their most-loved novel. Approximately 7,200 people participated in the survey.
The Top Ten Most Challenged Books (ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks) is published by the American Library Association. The Office for Intellectual Freedom compiles the list each year based on surveys and documented requests to remove materials from schools and libraries. The 2017 list includes titles such as Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and others. “I’m interested in the reason why they were challenged, and then I like to read the book and see what I think of it,” St. Martin said. “It helps me realize that everyone can interpret the same content very differently.”
St. Martin’s other recommended list is The Biggest Book-to-Movie Adaptations Coming in 2018 posted by BookBub (bookbub.com/blog/2017/12/26/bookadaptations-2018-movies). “I enjoy comparing books to movies, preferably reading the book first,” she said. “I’m curious to see how the story is adapted and which parts are stronger in the book or the movie.” Titles on the list include 12 Strong by Doug Stanton, The Sarah St. Martin, Head of Technical Death Cure by James Dashner, The Tale Services at Manchester City Library, of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter and recommends two unique book lists. others.

ARTS Tru to life
Kraig Swartz portrays Truman Capote in one-man play By Angie Sykeny
asykeny@hippopress.com
It’s a week before Christmas, 1975, nearly 10 years after Truman Capote achieved enormous success for his true crime novel In Cold Blood. He has, for the most part, taken a hiatus from writing and become swept up in the jet set lifestyle of New York City’s elite. To make his comeback in the literary world, he decides to write what he knows: a roman a clef based on his recent adventures, complete with comically revealed dirt on his fellow socialites. After an excerpt from the book in progress is published in Esquire magazine, Capote finds himself ostracized and alone. This sets the scene for Jay Presson Allen’s 1989 Broadway monodrama Tru. Adapted from Truman Capote’s own words and works, it follows the writer through a lonely, drug- and alcohol-fueled night at his Manhattan apartment, during which he muses on his dilapidated personal life and career. New York City actor Kraig Swartz stars in the Peterborough Players’ production of Tru, which is running now through July 1. Swartz shared his thoughts about the play and what it’s like to portray Truman Capote. In your own words, what is Tru about? Truman traded in his career for his position in society … then is rejected by the society he gave up his career for, so he faces a moment of complete desolation. The play is about his funny and gallant way of keeping his spirits afloat on the first night in his life when the telephone isn’t ringing. … Truman is a selfmade man, both with his success and his own destruction. By the end of the show, he has come out on the other end. His life isn’t suddenly fixed, but he is going to pick up his burdens and carry them proudly and not allow himself to be destroyed.
HIPPO | JUNE 28 - JULY 4, 2018 | PAGE 24
fourth wall comes down, and he tells them, ‘Look, here’s what’s going on.’ I think he’s trying to entertain himself and the audience so he doesn’t have to think about what’s really knocking at the door of his brain, which is, ‘Do I have a single friend left in the world? Do I have a career? What will become of me?’ How did you prepare for this role? I tried to get as much information about him as I could. I watched many videos of interviews he did from the late ’60s to the late ’70s, but at a certain point, I had to put those away, because I didn’t want it to just be an evening of impersonation. … I did what every actor does; I created a character that is part Truman Capote and part me. I looked at how the experiences that Truman talks about match up with comparable experiences in my own life, so that I could bring honest emotion to the show.

How did you land the role? I live in New York City, but spend every summer in Peterborough, performing with the Peterborough Players. This was the year they decided to do Tru, and I was offered the job. I’m not sure why, actually. In the wig and makeup, I do have a resemblance [to Capote], and he was famous for having a strange, high, childish voice, and I do kind of have a high voice. … It scared the crap out of me, honestly. A one-man show is a pretty heavy lift. But in my experience, if something scares you, that’s a good sign that you should think about doing it.
How did you recreate Truman Capote’s physical appearance? I’m a bit larger [in height] than Truman, so we scaled things on the set to be a little bigger, like raising the mantel on the fireplace so that I would appear smaller. I’m also relatively thin, and Truman had gained a good deal of weight by the Christmas of 1975, so we had to work out where the body pads would go to achieve the right level of portliness. … Then, we had to figure out Truman’s hair, which is white-blonde and deeply receding at the temples. I wasn’t quite willing to shave my head, so I worked with a wig designer who created this amazing Truman wig that gives the illuWhat is Truman Capote’s character sion of deeply recessed temples. like in Tru? He’s incredibly energetic and funny and What about his voice? charming. Even though he’s alone, he’s realIf I planned to do a spot-on imitation of ly active, playing music and dancing, telling Truman Capote, I’d be in terrible trouble. In stories and jokes, making phone calls to any- a live show, you have to fill the theater with one who will talk to him, and at some point the sound of your voice in the most energetic in the play, he notices the audience, and the way possible, and how do you do that when
you’re playing a person whose energy is so slow and contemplative and laidback? It’s impossible to do the real Capote voice in that type of setting, so we had to figure out how to honor the qualities of his voice and the distinctive things about it that people have come to expect in a way that is not only audible, but also dynamic and emotionally engaging, and I think we struck a good balance.
What has been the biggest challenge of performing in Tru? The sheer size of it, in terms of being a oneman show, and conquering the fear of that Herculean task. Every time we run through the show, I still get anxiety, thinking, ‘Am I really going to do this?’ … There’s a lot of vulnerability that comes with being alone with the audience. As an actor, you become used to relying on fellow actors, but in a oneman show, you don’t have that; you have very little to go on.
What has been the most rewarding thing? There are several moments in the play where Truman is at a very heightened emotional state, and the audience is holding its breath, then he says something that has everyone bursting into laughter. By that same token, there are moments when everyone is laughing, then Truman gets to a part in a story, and everyone gasps. The audience enters into a friendship with him, and they become his only confidants. It’s a very intimate relationship, more than in most plays.

Notes from the theater scene
• Indigenous traditions: Theatre Kapow has added a fourth and final show to its 10th-anniversary season. A Story That Cuts Like a Knife will run Friday, June 29, and Saturday, June 30, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, July 1, at 2 p.m., at the Derry Opera House (29 W. Broadway, Derry). The play is an original work developed by theatre Kapow that is rooted in legends, archetypes and arts of the First Peoples. The title is derived from an Alaskan Yupik storytelling device, a knife made of bone or ivory or wood that is used by women as an assist in dancing a story or drawing the story in snow or sand. A Story That Cuts Like a Knife is part of theatre Kapow’s “Faith and Story” series, which features plays that explore faith in humanity or a higher power and provide insight on how storytelling contributes to the human experience.

• Gallery closing: McGowan Fine Art (2 Phenix Ave., Concord) has announced that it will close its doors permanently on July 27. The closing comes almost one year after the gallery announced it would close but instead changed locations. “It is with sadness that I make this decision, though there are fewer tears and an air of inevitability this time,” owner Sarah Chaffee said in a press release. “I thought I had taken care of the number one reason galleries fail – rent – by moving to a new space. People responded positively to the new gallery, but there is constant upward pressure on other costs without the sales to support them.” If you plan to visit the gallery between now and its closing date, Chaffee recommends calling in advance to confirm that it is open. Call 225-2515 or visit mcgowanfineart.com. • Plein air paintings: Don’t miss “Impressions En Plein Air,” on view now through June 30 at the New Hampshire Art Association gallery at the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce (49 S. Main St., Concord). The exhibition features the work of plein air painter Jessica L. Fligg of Ashland, which includes 21 oil paintings and shadowbox-style mixed-media pieces that incorporate sticks, twigs and various found objects collected during her travels. Fligg 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. “All kinds of things can happen when you’re outside painting on the spot.

Thin, weed and water Advice for three key tasks in the garden By Henry Homeyer

With the advent of summer, it is time to buckle down and get a few tedious jobs done in the garden. But there are ways to lighten your load. First, it is time to thin out extra plants. Carrots and beets are two common culprits of crowding, and if you want sizable root crops, you need to thin them. Carrot seeds are tiny, so I don’t often plant them one by one. Instead I tend to sprinkle them, and most of them grow. I maintain that thinning carrots needs to happen by the Fourth of July, so get to work. If they are real close together, you may want to use scissors to cut off the extras at the soil line to avoid pulling up carrots you’re trying to save. One way to minimize the need to thin carrots is to buy pelleted seeds next time. These are seeds that come coated with a thin layer of clay. Each is the size of a BB and can be individually planted. Plant them an inch apart and you can skip the July 4 job. As they get bigger, you can eat the carrots you thin, giving them a 2-inch spacing by mid-summer. Beet seeds are large and easy to plant. So why are there clumps of beets that need to be thinned out? It’s not that you forgot your reading glasses when planting. The answer is that those “seeds” are not really seeds. They are clusters of seeds wrapped in a package like an apple, or a pear. Johnnys Selected Seed Co., and a few others sell ‘Moneta’ beet seeds, which have just one embryo per seed. Those, if you space them well at planting time, need not be thinned. I like to be efficient at whatever I do, and that includes keeping a relatively weed-free garden. Many weeds quickly mature, flower, and produce seeds. Your job is to keep them from producing seeds. Right now goutweed — my nemesis — is blooming in various pockets around my garden, and I don’t have time to dig it all out. But I have a 16-yearold helper who uses scissors to cut off all the flowers and bag them. We send them to the dump in black plastic bags. Other weed control methods? Keep weeds from getting the sunlight they need to grow. You can do this by mulching. In the vegetable garden I spread out newspapers over the soil and cover them with straw, hay or leaves. Four to six pages of newspaper keeps out light, inhibiting weeds. Earthworms eat the paper over the summer, and newsprint is done with soy-based inks, so you are not adding heavy metals to your soil (which was the case years ago). This method works well on walkways and around big plants, but is more problemat-

ical for onions and carrots, which are small and closer together. I use grass clippings or chopped leaves, without the newspaper, around small plants. Mulching in the flower garden is good, too. It keeps down weeds and holds in moisture. But beware: too much mulch can keep rain from reaching the roots of your perennials. An inch or two of ground bark helps a lot, but 3 or 4 inches will keep light showers from getting to the soil. Some gardeners use landscape fabric under bark mulch, but I do not. I find pernicious weeds eventually send roots through the fabric and this makes weeding very difficult. Landscape fabric can also constrict perennials as they expand over time, choking them. What about plain old black plastic? I don’t use it. Sunshine breaks it down over time, and makes a mess. It also keeps air and water from getting to the soil, which must affect soil microorganisms. If we have a dry summer, you may need to water. Established perennials should not need added water, but your vegetable garden might. I don’t favor overhead sprinklers because they water everything: plants, walkways and weeds. I prefer a watering wand, which is a device I attach to my hose. It is a 30-inch aluminum wand with a sprinkler head and a valve. I can direct the water exactly where I want it. I like a brand called Dramm because the sprinkler head allows fast, gentle watering. Watering cans are good, too. They allow you to see just how much water you are applying. This is important for new trees, which need 5 gallons a week or so. A sprinkler hose might seem like it is delivering a lot of water, but may not be. A good timer will deliver water while you are away on vacation. They attach to your spigot and allow you to use an overhead sprinkler or a soaker hose. I have a soaker hose I like made by Water Right and available from Gardeners Supply Co. It’s a round polyurethane hose, and much easier to use than the old-fashioned flat ones I had tried previously. Email henry.homeyer@comcast.net.
INSIDE/OUTSIDE TREASURE HUNT
Dear Donna, I am hoping you could give me information about a painting. It was painted by Louis H. Richardson in 1917 and given to my grandfather. I believe it was a retirement gift from New Bedford Power & Light. I am attaching a picture of the painting and the signature on the back. Please let me know whether you think it is of interest or has value. Thank you for any information you are able to provide. Debby from Northwood

Dear Debby, Thanks for sharing your painting with us. Every painting and every artist has such different demand and marketability be it old or modern work. Having a noted and signed painting really helps to determine what a collector might be paying today for the work. Louis Richardson was an American artist and was from New Bedford, Mass., so where it came from makes sense. He was known for landscapes just like yours. So until someone says it’s not, I think you do have a real painting done by the artist. I have researched his work for you and found paintings in the range of $400 to $1,000. I think your next step is to have it looked at for authenticity and condition.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK
When is it time to take a car to the dealer? Dear Car Talk: I have a 2003 Lexus ES300. The check engine light came on, so I took it to my mechanic. He scanned it, and the code said it was the By Ray Magliozzi evaporative emissions system. He then did a “smoke test” and saw smoke leaking out of pinholes in the fuel filler neck — which he then replaced. I drove it for about 200 miles and the light came on again. Same code. This time they replaced the evaporative canister. I drove for about another 200 miles, and again the light came on with the same code. This time they replaced the vent control solenoid. Again, I drove for about 200 miles and the light came on. They explained that there are many parts in the evaporative emissions system. Should I go to the dealer? Will they be able to diagnose it more accurately? What’s left to replace? — Fil Well, clearly the problem is that you’re driving too far, Fil. You need a new lifestyle where you never drive more than 199 miles. These guys are guessing now, unfortu-
nately. Doing the smoke test was the right place to start, and if the filler neck was perforated, it made perfect sense to replace it. But maybe that wasn’t the only leak? Maybe that was just the biggest leak. The question is, How are they approaching the problem now? If they have good diagnostic software, it should be suggesting next steps for them in terms of what to test. But if they’re just guessing, that could go on until the next season of “Game of Thrones” is released — there are a lot of individual parts in the evaporative emissions system. It could be a bad hose that’s running from the evaporative canister to the fuel tank. It even could be something as simple as a bad gas cap (let’s hope they tried that already). Or it could be a bad computer. If you like these guys, you can say, “Hey, fellas, I think you owe me some free diagnostic work here, considering I already helped you make about two months’ worth of boat payments.” And if they’re willing to keep trying stuff for free until they nail it, then you can give them some more time. I’d suggest they start by doing another smoke test. If they still can’t figure it out, and they’re really good guys, they’ll take it to

the dealer for you and get it diagnosed, and then fix it. But if they’re unwilling or unable to continue, then I would take it to the dealer. They’ve wotrked on many more ES300s than your local mechanic has, and they may know what oddball problem tends to set off a check engine light in cases like these. Good luck, Fil. Dear Car Talk: I’m a lifetime fan of Car Talk. So, I’m LAZY! SO lazy that I live where all the roads are flat in Miami so I don’t have to deal with inclines. I’m also so lazy that when I’m stopped at a light or stuck in traffic, I put the car in neutral so I don’t need to keep my foot on the brake. I drive an automatic 2001 Mazda 626. Am I causing any damage to the transmission by doing this? — Sean I don’t think you can hold a lazy candle to my late brother, Sean. He often was too lazy to put up the top on his ’74 Chevy convertible. So what, you say? Well, when a garden eventually sprouted up in the back seat of his car, he was also too lazy to weed it. Otherwise, he could have at least had some fresh tomatoes.
I don’t think you’re harming the transmission, Sean. I’m basing that in part on the fact that your transmission has already lasted 17 years, despite your sloth. We used to recommend against this practice. But that was when cars routinely idled at 1,000 rpm or more. At that engine speed, the various components of the drivetrain (the gears, the transmission, the CV joints) would kind of “slam” into each other every time you put the car into drive. You may remember feeling that “thunk” in the old days. But now, with computer-controlled engine management and fuel injection, most cars idle at about half that speed. So, once the car warms up (after a minute or so) and it’s idling at 600 rpm, when you shift from neutral into drive, you hardly even notice it. And neither does your car. The only downside is the embarrassment you feel when the light changes, and you push the pedal three-quarters of the way to the floor before you realize you’re still in neutral. But you seem like the type of guy who can take that kind of heat, Sean. Visit Cartalk.com.

Changes are underway at Johnson’s Seafood & Steak on Route 4 in Northwood. The restaurant is in the process of more than doubling its space by adding a 15-barrel craft brewery and tasting room, an in-house bakery cafe, a beer garden, a private function room and an expanded parking lot. The new Northwoods Brewing Co. — a project that has been more than a year in the making, according to Director of Operations Nick Evans — is nearing completion. Johnson’s purchased the 26-acre field on the east side of the restaurant late last summer and crews from Tom Hammer Construction in Portsmouth have built the 10,000-square-foot building from the ground up. Evans said the original idea to expand came about two years ago when Johnson’s finished building its bar in the rear of the restaurant. “We saw [having a brewery] as kind of a natural evolution for the restaurant to evolve with the times,” he said, “and it took about that long to move things forward and really make decisions on size and on what kind of business model we’d be following within the craft beer market.” The brewery will contain a 15-barrel main system and a three-barrel pilot system, a model unique compared to others in the immediate area, according to Evans. “We kind of toe the line a little bit between having a production brewery mindset with some core brands of beers, and then having the pilot system follow more of a brew pub model to do some more experimental things,” he said. “There aren’t a lot of other brewerx 2.6” high ies, I think, that are …4.69”wide having that balance HIPPO Horizontal 1/8 page between the distribution and the brew pub aspect. … Part of the fun too is being able to take what’s in the 15-barrel batch and split it into some of the three barrel tanks for differ-

ent fruiting, so we can have essentially four different beers out of one batch.” Evans said an exact number of lines on tap to start with hasn’t been determined yet, but it’s going to include a combination of IPAs, saisons and some other darker beers. Saisons, he said, are Belgian-style beers that are usually fermented dry and range a lot in the alcoholic content and the use of different hops. Some of the beers may also potentially use ingredients sourced from the incoming Rise & Shine Bakery Cafe. Bakery manager Sharon Gooch, who has been baking at Johnson’s for nearly two decades, previewed her products at the Cole Gardens Winter Farmers Market in Concord earlier this year that included painted cookies, custard and fruit pies, whoopie pies, donuts and sticky buns. “Usually the adjunct ingredients in a dessert beer that aren’t barley or water or hops or yeast would be things like cocoa, coconut, vanilla bean, that kind of thing. Those are a little bit on the sweeter side and have bigger gravity, ” Evans said. “So we’re going to have some fun kind of recreating those flavors inspired directly by maybe her German chocolate cake and other things being done in the bakery.” When you walk in through the front of the new building, the bakery cafe will be immediately to your left, along with the tasting room bar and shared seating, plus tables, sofas and chairs in some of the corners and in the middle of the room. Only food from the bakery will be permitted inside the tasting room, Evans said, but breakfast items such as sandwiches, burritos, coffees, baked goods and more will be served. A pick-up window for take-out orders of menu items at Johnson’s is also being installed within the function room, which connects back to the bar and dining area in the existing area of the restaurant.

Using recipes from his Swedish ancestors dating back to the late 19th century, David Schur of Hollis bakes as many as 60 loaves of rye bread for friends and family each Christmas. Now, he and his daughter, Jenny Lewis of Brookline, are selling those breads and other Swedish goodies at local farmers markets. Lewis proposed the idea to her dad in March, while they were on their way to a baking class at King Arthur Flour Co. in Vermont. “She said, ‘Dad, I was thinking. How would you like to become partners and start selling some of our Swedish products at farmers markets?’” Schur said. “I’m retired now, and Jenny had learned some of these recipes and baking techniques from me. So I’m going, ‘Yeah, I think that’d be a good idea. Let’s think about this.’ We actually spent the long car ride kind of talking about what it would look like, where we would go and what we would focus on.” Less than three months later, the fatherdaughter duo started Hulda’s Swedish Baked Goods; after a trial run selling their products at the Brookline Women’s Club’s Mother’s Day Marketplace in May, Schur and Lewis appeared at the Milford Farmers Market for the first time on June 16. They are currently booked for several more dates throughout the summer at the Milford and New Boston farmers markets. Lewis’s maternal great-grandmother Hulda immigrated to the United States from southeastern Sweden in 1902 and worked in a bakery in Chicago for a short time. Most of the recipes they use for their products were passed down from Hulda through Lewis’s grandmother Helen, she said. They include cardamom coffee cake, kanelbullar (cinnamon rolls) and bullar (dinner rolls without cardamom or cinnamon) – all three of which share the same sweet dough but with different added ingredients. Lewis and Schur also make pepparkakor (spice cookies with ginger, cloves and cinnamon that are traditionally heart-shaped) and limpa (Swedish rye bread). Schur said the recipe for the limpa comes from his greatgrandmother Olivia, who came to the U.S. from Sweden in 1886. “Limpa is … a sweeter rye bread than most. It has a little bit of orange zest and anise seed,” Schur said. The baking for each of the five products has been taking place in both Lewis’s and Schur’s kitchens, oftentimes either the day before they sell or the morning of to make them as fresh as possible. The process takes several hours – the cardamom and the anise

seed, for example, are hand-ground, Lewis said – but both agreed the experience so far has been rewarding. “Honestly, just spending a day baking … is probably one of the best, most relaxing ways to spend the day, for me and I know for my dad as well,” Lewis said. At the farmers markets, they have a display table showcasing some old photos, telling family stories of their ancestors and offering samples of the breads to market-goers. “We’ll make slight suggestions, [like] we suggest that you try limpa toasted with butter and with a cup of coffee,” Schur said. “That’s traditional in Sweden.” Lewis said that to some other visitors of the market with Swedish relatives or ancestors, their appearances have been nostalgic. “On [our first day], I think we met every Swede that was there, because they would come over and they knew limpa,” she said. “The smells and the tastes definitely bring people back to those recipes.” Lewis said she and Schur are already exploring the possibility of selling at winter markets and introducing online ordering. But for now, they are looking forward to their next few farmers market dates. “Jenny would be telling the story [of our ancestors] to a customer or two, and then two others would come over later and I’d tell the story,” Schur said, “and that’s really been part of the fun too, is just being able to share that with people.” Where to find Hulda’s Swedish Baked Goods Milford Farmers Market: Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; July 14, July 28, Aug. 18, Sept. 1, Sept. 22, Sept. 15 and Sept. 29 New Boston Farmers Market: Saturday, Aug. 4, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Saturday, Aug. 11, 5 to 8 p.m. (“A Midsummer Night’s Market”) Visit swedishbakers.com, facebook.com/ swedishloaf or email huldasswedish@ gmail.com

Tina Caruana of Bedford founded Rub Me Tender Spices (rubmetenderspices.com), a small business offering all-natural coffee and tea spice rubs, in 2015. The New Jersey native studied culinary arts at Southern New Hampshire University, briefly working at the Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods and later at Triolo’s Bakery in Bedford before starting her own business. All of her spice rubs are hand-blended, gluten-free and vegan, and are used for tenderizing and enhancing the flavor of a variety of meats. She offers a spicy coffee rub and a mellow Moroccan coffee rub, as well as an Earl Grey tea rub and a Green Tea & Mint tea rub. Caruana works out of Creative Chef Kitchens in Derry. She appears several times a month at the Bedford Farmers Market (St. Elizabeth Seton Church, 190 Meetinghouse Road, Bedford) on Tuesdays from 3 to 6 p.m. and at the Concord Farmers Market (Capitol Street, Concord) on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to noon to sell her spice rubs in 2-ounce packages. She will next be in Concord on July 7 and in Bedford on July 10. Her spice rubs can also be purchased online in bundled packages.

FOOD

Ideas from off the shelf
Lemon Garlic Bok Choy Historically, I’ve let my husband handle the cooking of all veggies I consider stir-fry veggies. Bok choy falls staunchly in that category. However, as I was going through my refrigerator and pantry looking for something to toss together for dinner, I found bok choy that we had purchased earlier in the week at the grocery store, and I knew I had to use it before it was on the verge of spoiling. I first thought to mix the bok choy in with the chicken I already had on the stove, but decided I wanted a slightly different flavor than the sweeter stir-fry that was coming together. Bok choy is a more bitter green, and I went searching for a recipe that would use ingredients I had on hand but also complement the natural flavors of the bok choy rather than mask them. I found this recipe on Inspired Taste, and the finished product was pretty darn inspiring for a weeknight dinner that was tossed together in around 10 minutes. With olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and lemon, this recipe for bok choy was simple and delicious. Plus, it enabled the bok choy to retain a lot of its natural flavor while introducing subtle hints of spice and a pinch of acid from the lemon, which did break up the sweetness of my chicken that was coated in oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar. 10-Minute Lemon Garlic Bok Choy Recipe courtesy of Inspired Taste 1 pound baby bok choy 1½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 cloves garlic, minced Pinch crushed red pepper flakes Sea salt Half of a lemon, cut into wedges After washing and patting dry the bok choy, cut in half lengthwise (or in quarters, depending on the size).

The recipe called for the bok choy to be cut in half lengthwise, but I opted to cut mine into quarters as they were a bit on the large side. I think I also didn’t let the bok choy cook on the first side long enough, but my pans are old and something started to smell like it was burning. But, rest assured the finished product was still delectable, even if a little undercooked. There really isn’t anything I’d change about this recipe, except making more the next time I cook it. My husband thought it was great, and one of my kids went back for seconds (although the pickier of the two eaters scraped her portion onto her brother’s plate). Regardless of their responses, I thought this dish was a fantastic and simple addition to a weeknight meal of chicken and rice. When tossed together with the sweeter chicken and starchy rice, this bok choy upped the flavor profile of the entire meal. — Lauren Mifsud frying pan, add the oil, garlic and red pepper flakes. Place over medium heat and let the garlic cook until fragrant, but not brown. Toss in the bok choy and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle twith salt to taste and then cook, without stirring, for about 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are starting to turn brown. Flip, and then cook an additional 2 minutes or until the leaves have wilted and the bottoms are turning soft. Transfer to a plate before squeezing lemon on top, and sprinkle with additional olive oil, if desired, before serving.

After a long winter that sucked up most of spring, we’re all excited about the onset of summer, but we’re all hot now — and thirsty. It’s officially time to shift any porters and stouts and other heavy brews to the back of your fridge as you won’t be needing their rich, malty flavors for at least a few months. On a hot summer day, your taste buds are calling for other offerings. Think bright and crisp with a hint of sweetness. You want some hoppy bitterness, but not too much. You want a lighter beer, but not too light. Malts are obviously taking a back seat at this time of year, but you don’t want to skimp on flavor. You want some sweetness but you don’t want syrup. It’s a delicate balance — quench your thirst while pleasing your taste buds. I’m stressed right now just thinking about it. The good news is that brewers across New Hampshire have found the balance. Now you just need to grab a pint and relax. Here are some wonderful summer beers available now in breweries located across New Hampshire: Berliner Weisse with Raspberry or the Berliner Weisse with Cherry and Lime by Stoneface Brewing Co. (Newington) - For me, this is the time of year when the tartness and brightness of raspberries, cherries and limes can really shine in beer. These beers are technically sours but are just slightly sour. These are perfect choices for a hot summer day when you want some flavor but you want to keep things light. At 3.7-percent ABV, you can enjoy a couple. Perpetual Gruven by Great Rhythm Brewing (Hampton) - This Kolschstyle ale is perfect for summer. In fact, it screams summer. Great Rhythm is really known for its citrusy selection of IPAs and this seems like the perfect change of pace — light and crisp. Gooseberry Wit by Flying Goose Brew Pub & Grill (New London) - This summer ale is “quaffable,” according to Flying Goose. Enough said. It’s fermented with Belgian wit yeast and boasts nice tartness from the gooseberry puree. That tartness gives it a nice flavor kick.

Soul Hop American Pale Ale by Kettlehead Brewing Co. (Tilton) - I’ve never had this, but man, I’m intrigued. This is the first of the brewery’s “hop series” session ales. The brewers use “only Medusa

hops which gives the beer notes of lime, mint and tea leaves.” That says summer pale ale to me.
Sister Summer IPA by Cold Harbor Brewing (Westborough, Mass.) - This is the perfect summer IPA — hazy and juicy but not too big and bold. You’ll want to have several. The brewery also brews an “Indian Summer” IPA that is similar, but different. This is worth driving for.
Jeff Mucciarone is a senior account executive with Montagne Communications, where he provides communications support to the New Hampshire wine and spirits industry. Fire & Beer Did you know Smuttynose Brewing Co. (smuttynose.com) and Hayseed Restaurant in Hampton host “Firepit Friday” where you can sit by the fire, drink beer and listen to music — all summer long? It runs from 7 to 9 p.m. right through September at Smuttynose, 105 Towle Farm Road, Hampton. This sounds so perfect, it almost doesn’t seem real to me. Barks for Brews Henniker Brewing Co. (hennikerbrewing.com) is hosting a special “Barks for Brews” event on Saturday, June 30, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the brewery, 129 Centervale Road in Henniker, to raise awareness for pet adoption. So, you’re mixing beer with dogs, which is a perfect combination. The event, which supports the Pope Memorial SPCA of Concord-Merrimack County, features live music, brewery tours and beer flights. And you can adopt dogs. You might consider deciding on whether or not you’re planning to adopt before you start drinking.

This Los Angeles-based boy-girl duo opened for Wolf Alice on their last tour, which was a big deal to the multitudes who are totally jiggy with the 1970s hard-rock sound rising from the depths (again). The deal with these two is postpunk, though, which was mildly exciting to hear; owing to their name I expected to hear something leaning toward an 80s-shlock sound with lots of day-glo going on, a la Transvision Vamp, and no, I’ll never get over that band. Since it’s the 2010s, of course, this is a two-piece with a drum machine as the supporting cast, with him (Charlie Ellis) playing guitar and her (Emily Ibarra) on bass. It’s not day-glo stuff, though, more like Bryan Ferry meets Bauhaus on a first-album Cure budget, in other words a jangly dread is delivered here, one that’d be perfect for any goth club that’s profitable enough to afford a half-dozen 120-inch TVs for running loops of the original Nosferatu (has one of those places sprouted up yet, or is it still just amateur vampire night, “per se?”). Whatever, I don’t know if this was their plan, but the four tunes on this EP show they’ve got a decent handle on the vibe. Thumbs up, absolutely. A — Eric W. Saeger Nas, Nasir (Mass Appeal Records)
Mid-June saw two major team-ups, the first being Beyonce and Jay-Z’s Everything is Love, but this one, with the Illmatic legend paired with Kanye West in the producer’s slot as part of a random set of five seven-songers (don’t ask), is, as usual, an homage to the guys in the back of the room, not the happy grind dancers. Problem here is that commercial hip-hop, the genre whose sales have topped rock ’n’ roll’s for over a year now, is part and parcel of our new “woke” mainstream, meaning it’s heavily invested in, well, identity politics, and this MC, at least, isn’t all that enthusiastic about it. There’s a dichotomy at work here, if you juxtapose the egalitarian but pandering “Everything” with the record’s undercurrent, comprising Nas’s old-school objectification of women. As a highly visible hero of the modern masses, Nas is a bit stuck here — not totally lost, but working on it. Some magnificent beats from Kanye do help. B- — Eric W. Saeger
PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • The June 29 new-release bonanza is heading for us all, and there is no escape, so forget it. The names are big for this week, like Florence + the Machine, who release their new LP High As Hope on that historic date! We all know what this gothy, awesomey band is about, and I have no snark for it at all. No, seriously, I just checked my Snark Jar and there was nothing in there but IOUs for future albums by Steve Aoki and The Darkness, so all I can really offer to do for my customers at this time is to switch windows and go to YouTube to listen to this new gothic awesomeness, all the while hoping that I won’t immediately be turned to dust by its totally groovy whatever etc. Here it is, the single, “Sky Full of Song.” It’s kind of a ballad, but a cool one, like if Zola Jesus took over an Adele song that was adapted from a KT Tunstall B-side written before KT became a dried-up husk of a formerly great songwriter. No one could hate this, like literally no one. • Yay, time once again to pretend that I was clued in to early Aughts post-hip-hop-indie, totally hold me back or I’ll go back to the crunk and blast it out my limo window. Why? Because Gorillaz, and their new album The Now Now! Haven’t their fans moved on to music with melody, or am I really supposed to take this roller-skating cartoon dude seriously, in this video? How do other music critics approach Gorillaz, like, should I just talk about this boring Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon or just say something like “Wow, I really wish I could find a way to like music that rips off Jamie Liddell, the Ed Banger crew and Chromeo all at the same time?” Is this stuff played over the loudspeakers at nursing homes or what? • Say, on June 29, poor forgotten 1960s mummy Ray Davies will contribute his 2,825th album, Our Country: Americana Act II, as well! Don’t you lot love it when these fish-and-chip-eating “British pop stars” tell us how to run our July 4 booze-B-Qs? Oh, just forget it, let’s go indulge this old fossil before he gets the impression that the CD-scratching hip-hoppers of today lack the common aesthetic sense to appreciate great-grandfathers who hard-strum their guitars with Pete Townshend windmill moves, because I’m telling you kids, if you don’t, all these arena-rock dudes from the ’60s and ’70s will live another 10 years on purpose. Why can’t the wizened old crones of the ’60s and ’70s age gracefully, like that 1950s surf-rocker who’s always on Svengoolie? OK, let’s go find a single, if his crew figured out how to upload things to Prodigy yet. Wow, the song “Our Country” sounds like Pete Seeger trying to rock out, in other words Belle and Sebastian with an edge. If this were 1956, Casey Kasem would banish it from American Bandstand as devil music, so there’s that. • Let’s Eat Grandma, now there’s a band name! I’m All Ears is the album. Hmm, the single “Fall into Me” sounds like Asteroids Galaxy Tour by vway of Goldfrapp. (That means it’s sexy and weird and techie. Join my Patreon for more music advice!) — Eric W. Saeger

Kenneth Gloss has seen all kinds of books come through his used bookstore from books signed by notable authors like Robert Frost to books that date back to as early as the 1400s. Located in Boston’s Downtown Crossing section, Brattle Book Shop was opened nearly 200 years ago and is one of the oldest and largest used bookshops in the country. A second-generation owner of the shop, Gloss has become a well-known connoisseur of antiquarian and rare books, frequently appearing as a guest appraiser on PBS’ television series Antiques Roadshow. On Thursday, June 28, he will visit the Hooksett Public Library to discuss antiquarian and rare book collecting. In his presentation, he will share anecdotes about some of his favorite finds, explain what makes a book increase or decrease in value and offer some tips and guidelines for starting a book collection. Following the presentation and a Q&A, Gloss will appraise people’s books. The first thing a person must understand about antique books, Gloss said, is that a book is not considered an antique because of its age alone, but because of its age in relation to its subject matter. An early edition of On the Origin of Species from the 1860s, for example, while not very old comparitavely, would be considered antique because it is one of the first books published on the science of evolution. “We get probably five to 10 calls a week from people who have a very old family Bible,” he said. “Well, you have to put things in perspective, because it’s not just about absolute age. The Bible has been printed for hundreds of years and is the most printed book of all time, so they may have a very old copy, but it’s not terribly old for what it is.” The value of a book depends on many factors, a major one being its edition. The first edition of a book, especially a book from early in an author’s career, is typically the most rare and valuable because publishers, not knowing how well the new book will be received, begin with a small run. “A great example is Harry Potter,” Gloss said. “The first book came out 20 years ago, and it wasn’t expected to sell, so they didn’t make very many. Now, a first edition of the first Harry Potter book is incredibly rare and can be sold for $8,000, while the more recently printed books are never going to be valuable because there are so many around.” Consider, also, the market for the book. Just because a book is hard to come by does not necessarily mean it’s valuable. As Gloss puts it, “There are some books that are rare, but the people who want it are rarer.”

A book’s physical condition, of course, also plays a part in its value. It may play a larger part in books that are especially difficult to find in good condition, such as cookbooks and children’s books, due to the nature of how they are used. While it’s often assumed that a book signed by the author will have greater value than one that isn’t, that isn’t always the case. “For some authors, it’s hard to find a book that they didn’t sign. They were signing books everywhere they went, and while it’s nice to have that for sentimental value, it doesn’t give it any greater monetary value,” Gloss said. “Then, you have someone like J.D. Salinger who was very reclusive and would only sign for people he knew very well. A book with his signature would be incredibly valuable.” Gloss’ advice to new collectors is to focus on one subject, author or even book. “You can’t collect every book on every subject. It’s impossible,” he said. “Even if you just focus on one book, you can collect thousands of copies if you get into all the different languages, different editions, different bindings, different illustrators.” Lastly, Gloss said, don’t discredit a book with personal or sentimental value. You can still enjoy the fun of collecting without limiting yourself only to books with rarity or monetary value. “One time, I had a customer running in with a pamphlet he found on our dollar table — ‘Coconuts and Constipation.’ He was thrilled and said he had been looking for it for years and years, and here it was for a dollar,” he said. “The hunt is the real goal. You never know where you’ll find that book you’ve been trying to find for 50 years.”

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (PG-13)
thinkiness. It is loud, dumb and derivative without ever once trying to build on or reinvent or recapture anything that came before. It isn’t a fast-paced amusement park ride; it’s the endless, soul-sucking line you stand in before the ride. CRated PG-13 for financial reasons I’m guessing but also, according to the MPAA, for intense sequences of sciencefiction violence and peril. Directed by J.A. Bayona with a screenplay by Derek Connolly & Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is two hours and eight minutes long and distributed by Universal Studios.
Humans nonsensically try to save the dinosaurs abandoned in the “obviously a bad idea” theme park Jurassic World in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
Isla Nublar, the home of the original Jurassic Park theme park and the souped up Jurassic World vacation resort, is abandoned, on account of its being overrun with man-eating, man-stomping dinosaurs. But a volcano that is there all of a sudden is threatening to destroy the island completely and with it all of the genetically modified dinosaur creatures. Which Is Fine! This is, as Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) testifies before Congress, the best possible outcome for a horrible idea that humanity made happen without really thinking it through. But no, “animal rights activists” (Is that a bunch that is historically big fans of genetic fiddling?) want to save the animals on the island. Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), former theme park manager and corporate sponsorship seller in the last movie, is now suddenly a person who cares oh so much about the dinosaurs. When obvious jerk Eli Mills (Rafe Spall), representative of witless rich guy Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell), invites Claire to the rich guy’s Citizen Kane house to tell her that he plans to save the dinosaurs, Claire buys his story with a big-eyed earnestness that doesn’t exactly fit with a woman who was trying to create a Verizon Wireless-osaurus branded dinosaur in the last movie. They’re going to track down as many dinosaurs as they can and bring them to a sanctuary where the dinosaurs can live out their days in peace and happiness and not at all mutate and breed and threaten the rest of humanity. Eli and a bunch of friendly neighborhood mercenaries need her help because her handprint can access the dinosaur GPS. They want her to bring along Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), because of his spe-

cial relationship with Blue, the craftiest but most trainable of all the velociraptors. Though they appeared to be together at end of the last movie, Claire and Owen have broken up again for plot reasons but still basically like each other. So you have that fun to look forward to all movie long. Also along for the ride are Zia Rodriguez (Daniella Pineda), a sassy dinosaur veterinarian, and Franklin Webb (Justice Smith), requisite fidgety tech guy. The trip is also full of edible mercenaries, led by a mercenary (Ted Levine) who actually says “nasty woman” just to underline how happy we will be to see him get eaten. Back at Crazy Rich Guy Mansion, Lockwood’s granddaughter Maisie (Isabella Sermon) is very interested in the fate of the dinosaurs. She Harriet-the-Spy-s around, overhearing Eli make nefarious plans for the creatures, but can she get her grandfather to listen to her findings? Everybody in Fallen Kingdom falls somewhere on the villain spectrum, with at least two characters legitimate candidates for “history’s greatest villain” (in the “big villain in the history of humanity” sense, not a good villain in the movie sense). Everybody picks the worst, dumbest possible option any time they make a
choice, which didn’t just make me mad on a making-sense level but made me not care about any of this dystopian horror movie’s stakes. From the “flirting” (bickering) Owen and Claire to the plucky Maisie to the comic relief-y Zia and Franklin, I didn’t find myself rooting for anybody. I felt a kind of hard cynicism toward these characters and this movie throughout. I’ll admit that I went in to this movie not expecting greatness. I only recently saw the 2015 Jurassic World and thought its only redeeming quality was Chris Pratt and his young Han Solo charm. And, avoid them though I try, I did see the headlines of not-so-great reviews start to trickle in in the days before I saw this movie. But still, I am always open to the idea of a fun movie, perfectly fine with a fun ride with some fun dinosaurs, but the movie didn’t deliver on either the thrills and adventure that I tend to associate with the franchise or the potential complexity and chills of the darker (even darker than the movie really acknowledges) story being told here. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom left me depressed. It is a sheer surface of a movie, leaving nothing for me to grab on to for either mindless entertainment or sci-fi

I have become acquainted with a fair amount of young children’s television in the last few years, from the gentle Curious George and Sesame Street on PBS to the zanier Paw Patrol and Blaze and the Monster Machines on Nick Jr. Even Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, an animated show that features many of the same characters as the original Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, is not as calm and thoughtful as Rogers’ original show. What this documentary really highlights is how amazingly adept Rogers was at slowing a moment way down, whether it was a moment spent with human children or puppets or putting on his sweater, while still holding his audience’s attention. We see him do this remarkably well, not just on his show but also in a senate hearing about PBS funding, where he basically stops a senator’s bluster in its tracks and then firmly holds his attention with quiet, respectful but insistent discussion 50

FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ CONT. FROM 48
of the purpose for his show. It is like watching someone hold back a tornado by holding up a hand and politely asking it to pause. The documentary features interviews with many of the people in Rogers’ life — his wife Joanne, his children, cast and crew members from the show and even the parents of a child Rogers once invited on the show. Along with old interviews of Rogers and old clips from the show, the movie examines how the show came together and how he pieced together the show’s core mission, which was basically to instill in children a basic sense of their own decency and worth and therefore a sense of a basic respect for others. I like you as you are, you are special just for being you — as people in the movie discuss, these basic tenets are sometimes used, in our current time, as an example of how Rogers bred a sense of entitlement into X-ers or Millennials or whoever was being complained about. As Rogers and others explain, really what he is doing is making an argument, one he hopes will stick, for the intrinsic worth of every individual. This is, as someone points out, a pretty foundational belief of Christianity (and, for that matter, of America, for all that there have always been those trying to claim that some are less intrinsically worthy than others). And yet it was also radical, and Rogers was for all his mildness often doing very radical things, by acknowledging the emotions of kids. Rogers would examine and give space to kids’ fears after hearing about national events such as assassination or the shuttle disaster or to kids dealing with more personal calamities like divorce or a death. Or, Rogers radically but with little fanfare challenged the segregation of swimming pools by sharing the pool he was cooling his feet off in with Francis Clemmons, who is African-American and played police officer Clemmons on the show. What Won’t You Be My Neighbor? does masterfully well (in addition to making anyone with a memory of the show or Rogers or working emotions cry) is make a case for decency, in particular decency in public life and decency in how we deal with each other. We need to make goodness attractive, Rogers says at one point, and constantly displays how powerful honesty and decency can be, how much more powerful it can be than loudness, bullying and careless cruelty — in our families, in public debate and in entertainment. A Rated PG-13 for some thematic elements and language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Morgan Neville, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is an hour and 34 minutes long and distributed by Focus Features.
Gotti (R)
Let’s all be thankful that instead of, like, FX giving John Travolta a peak TV miniseries all we have to deal with is not-quite two hours of Gotti, a weird vanity project delivered with the panache of a 1980s-style TV movie.
Let’s begin at the end of the movie, when title cards tell us all about the government’s prosecution of John Gotti Jr. (Spencer Lofranco), the titular Gotti’s son, in such a way that I think we’re supposed to feel sympathetic to poor John Gotti Jr. We also see real-life footage of John Gotti Sr.’s (played in the movie by Travolta) funeral, and all the people talking about how he kept the neighborhood safe. After a movie of eye-rolling scenes that felt like discount reenactments of better (but worn) scenes from Goodfellas and the Godfather movies, this ending for this movie felt particularly heavy-sigh-inducing. Are we really still trying to make these guys folk heroes? And if so, could we stop? With to-camera monologuing from Gotti and a few scenes of a dying Gotti and a middle-aged-ish Junior, both in prison, providing context, the movie otherwise is fairly straightforward, a 1970s through 1990s look at Gotti’s rise in the Gambino crime family and how he ultimately took control of the family to become the “boss of bosses.” There is probably an interesting story there about the organizational structure of the mob (which is portrayed here as being very strict and code-based, even if there is room for Game of Thronesstyle usurpation) and why the organization, apart from the criminal enterprise and the money it creates, is so important to its members and revered and feared by others. That is to say, I’d be interested in that. The movie is not. The movie seems focused on hewing pretty closely to events in the broad way that news footage of this time delivers them and in providing Travolta with award-nomination-ready scenes and poignant moments. Except, of course, there is nothing about this movie that suggests anybody is nominating it for anything. (Well, maybe a Razzie.) It feels so much like the old style of TV movies, when the interest was all in the recreation of events — does the suit here look like the suit from the photo? Yes? Excellent, mission accomplished. If you know anything about John Gotti Sr., you probably know enough that you don’t need to see this movie. And if you don’t know anything about Gotti, this is a very unnecessary, thin-soup introduction. DRated R for strong violence and pervasive language. Directed by Kevin Connolly with a screenplay by Lem Dobbs and Leo Rossi, Gotti is an hour and 44 minutes long and distributed by Vertical Entertainment and MoviePass Ventures, according to Wikipedia.

• Uniform funny: A benefit show features three military veterans telling jokes – Johnny Joyce served in the Navy; Jody Sloane joined the Coast Guard hoping to helm an amphibious vehicle and, when that didn’t work out, later led a Boston Duck Tour. EJ Edmonds is ex-Navy, and all three are raising money for the New England chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America. Go Thursday, June 28, 6 p.m., Chunky’s Cinema Pub, 151 Coliseum Ave., Nashua. Tickets $20 at eventbrite.com. • Lone Star stop: The wryly named Token Texans Tour features Jaimee Harris opening for fellow troubadour Graham Weber, whom the Austin Chronicle called “a master of evocative metaphor unraveling in the uneasy rift of his whiskey-burnt tenor.” Go Friday, June 29, 7 p.m., New England College, 62 N. Main St., Concord. See bit.ly/2lv8XTb. • Sun fun: Since last weekend’s Concert in the Park Summer Series kickoff event was rained out, Dusty Gray is again set to serenade the crowd with his country rock songs. The local treasure’s set is the first of a summer-long batch of al fresco events presented by Granite State of Mind, a local music showcase hosted by Rob Azevedo on WKXL every week. Go Saturday, June 30, 6 p.m. at Memorial Field, Pleasant and High streets, Pembroke. • Jam camp: A two-day festival with art and music, the second annual Hive Jive: A Jam Fam Campout features a long list of performers — Hayley Jane and the Primates, Zach Deputy and The Maine Dead Project top the bill. Starts Tuesday, July 3, 8 a.m., The Hive Farm & Community Space, 62 Patten Hill Road, Candia. $50 advance at bit. ly/2H7hW5z. Want more ideas for a fun night out?

Since finishing third in Season 4 of America’s Got Talent, Recycled Percussion is known to many of its fans as a Las Vegas band. Their roots are in the Granite State, however, and the junk rockers return to New Hampshire frequently. A quick early summer run includes stops in Manchester (June 30) and Plymouth (July 7). Earlier in the month, RP played Littleton, Portsmouth and Claremont. “We love to come back home and we have always kept New Hampshire first as a priority for us,” group founder Justin Spencer said in a recent phone interview. “So we make sure we always come back every year, sometimes twice a year, to perform and give it our all.” The downtown Manchester show will be filmed for the band’s WMUR-TV series, Chaos & Kindness. The charity-centric program frequently focuses on locals in need. “Michael’s Story,” an episode about efforts to lift the spirits of a Concord man with terminal cancer, was nominated for a New England Emmy in April. The show is moving beyond borders for its second season. Recently, two episodes were devoted to helping out in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico, raising money to buy wheelchairs, and performing on the island. “We want to do really cool things and inspire people,” Spencer said. “What’s so unique about the TV show is that we do it 100 percent for free, we love to do it and it’s real ... we pride ourselves on that, so that aspect of it is very fulfilling.” Recycled Percussion has performed thousands of shows on the Vegas strip, first at the MGM Grand in 2010, and later at the Tropicana and The Quad; currently, they’re the feature act at Planet Hollywood’s Saxe Theater. Playing over 500 times a year has led to many changes in their act, which fans will see when they come home.

“It’s forced us to diversify the kind of performance that we have,” Spencer said. “We’ve added a lot of comedy to our show and it’s become really family-friendly for the tourists … the show is not even close to what it was when we started, and it’s really helped us to become better at what we do. Obviously if you can survive 10 years in Las Vegas, you’re doing something right.” The group’s energy seems limitless. Last December, they broke a world record by doing 50 shows in 12 days, one in each state. Though it may not end up in the Guinness book, their next move is no less impressive. After New England, they’re off to China for 113 shows. Spencer has no plans to slow down. “I’m only 40, I keep myself in great shape and I love to play,” he said. “You actually get that resurgence, the desire to play more. It’s that Tom Brady effect. ... You’re kind of like, ‘Yeah, I’ll play forever.’” 2020 will mark 25 years since he entered a talent show at Goffstown High School and launched Recycled Percussion. Spencer was inspired by the classic rock he listened to as a kid, but aware of his limitations.
“I’m a terrible singer, so I decided to make a band where the drummer is the front man,” he said. The early times were challenging. “For five or six years we were playing at elementary, middle and high schools around New Hampshire in exchange for free lunch or sometimes a couple hundred bucks here and there,” Spencer said. They were able to earn more after an agent for the band They Might Be Giants spotted them in 2001 and signed a touring deal. Later, national television exposure raised their profile even more. With that success came a platform, something Spencer seized with relish. “I didn’t have money growing up, and my family struggled; I was no stranger to food stamps,” he said. “That was embedded in my DNA early, to want to give back. We’ve been doing this long before the TV show. When I was in sixth grade I was buying toys for kids through fundraising efforts … so I’ve kind of always had that desire to help other people.” Spencer’s charitable ambitions mirror his energy. “I’d like to turn Chaos & Kindness into a big brand,” he said. “Make kindness cool to youth and do it in a big way, in a global way. That’s my mindset over these next two years.” Recycled Percussion When: Saturday, June 30, 7 p.m. Where: Veterans Park, 698 Elm St., Manchester Tickets: $32-$39 at recycledpercussionband.com Recycled Percussion will also play at The Flying Monkey in Plymouth Saturday, July 7, at 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $34.50 at flyingmonkeynh.com. Chaos & Kindness airs the first two Fridays of every month on WMUR. All epsiodes on demand at vimeo.com.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
Undignified death
In the northeastern town of Teesside, England, last August, 22-year-old Jordan Easton of Thornaby was at the home of a friend, hanging out in the kitchen, when he boasted that his vest was “stab-proof.” To prove it, he “took hold a knife to demonstrate,” Karin Welsh, Teesside assistant coroner, testified, “and sadly realized it wasn’t the case.” Teesside Live reported Easton was rushed to the hospital, but doctors weren’t able to save him. Detective Superintendent Ted Butcher also testified at Easton’s inquest on June 16 that he found no evidence Easton intended to harm himself and died after “a boisterous act.” Welsh recorded a verdict of “misadventure.”
News you can use
Louis Cote of Mascouche, Quebec, Canada, became suspicious last August of the DNA test results obtained from the samples he collected in his work for the Confederation of Aboriginal People of Canada, whose members use DNA testing to determine their native ancestry. So, CBC News reported on June 13, Cote launched his own experiment. He collected two samples using his own inner-cheek swabs, and a third from his girlfriend’s Chihuahua, Snoopy, and sent them off to Viaguard Accu-Metrics. The results indicated that all three samples had identical DNA, including 12 percent Abenaki and 8 percent Mohawk ancestry. “I thought it was a joke,” Cote said. “The company is fooling people ... the tests are no good.”
where he meditated, drew and read as traffic flowed overhead for 72 hours until his release on June 17. Parr had water but no food, and oxygen was pumped into the box. His performance was promoted as a “response to 20th-century totalitarian violence,” according to The Guardian, but the piece didn’t speak to everyone. “I don’t take anything away from it at all,” said Carolyn Bowerman from Townsville. “I’m just amazed that someone would put themselves through this and go to this much effort.” In a previous performance art piece, Parr hacked at a prosthetic arm with an ax before a shocked audience. • Over in Melbourne, Australia, customers of the Prahran neighborhood Woolworths store will have to park somewhere else on July 9, as renowned American photographer Spencer Tunick captures thousands of willing nudes in a group shot on the store’s rooftop parking lot. Reuters reported more than 11,000 people registered to disrobe for Tunick, who has done group nudes in other spots around the world. “It’s well and truly oversubscribed,” said John Lotton, director of the Provocare Festival of the Arts in Melbourne.
Smooth reactions
When Daryl Royal Riedel, 48, was pulled over for suspected drunk driving June 14 by Monroe County (Florida) Sheriff’s Deputy Anthony Lopez, he first drove off, but thought better of it and stopped to face the music. Riedel, who claimed to be scared, then stepped out of his truck with an open can of beer and chugged the contents as Lopez watched. The Associated Public servants In Putnam County, Florida, the sheriff’s Press reported that Riedel has four prioffice provides a wide variety of services. So when Douglas Peter Kelly, 49, called the office on June 12 to complain that the methamphetamine he had been sold was fake, officers happily offered to test it for him. Kelly told detectives he had suffered a “violent reaction” after smoking the substance and wanted to sue the dealer if he had been sold the wrong drug. He arrived at the sheriff’s office and “handed detectives a clear, crystal-like substance wrapped in aluminum foil,” the office’s Facebook post explained, according to The Washington Post. It “field-tested positive for methamphetamine.” On the spot, Kelly was arrested and charged with possession of meth. The Facebook post continued: “Remember, our detectives are always ready to assist anyone who believes they were misled in their illegal drug purchase.”

Czech this out
Czechoslovakian president Milos Zeman called a press conference on June 14 in Prague, where Zeman instructed two firefighters in protective gear to incinerate a huge pair of red underpants as reporters watched. The underwear had been hoisted during a 2015 protest at Prague Castle, replacing the presidential flag and symbolizing Zeman’s close relationship with Russia and China. Zeman told reporters, according to the Associated Press: “I’m sorry to make you look like little idiots, you really don’t deserve it.” Zeman’s longstanding difficulties with the press include an incident last year when he waved a fake machine gun at them.
O.M.G.
Wa Tiba, 54, disappeared on June 14 while tending her vegetable garden on Muna Island in the Southeast Sulawesi province of Indonesia. Her family found only her sandals, a machete and a flashlight in the garden, but just 50 yards away, villagers located a 23-foot-long python with a severely bloated midsection. Fox News reported that when the snake’s belly was cut open, it revealed the woman’s fully intact body inside, still wearing all her clothes. Villager Ayu Kartika said, “Everyone cried and was in shock. ... It looked like a horror movie.” Visit newsoftheweird.com.
