A new plan

122074

In 1992 I brought forward an education funding concept to address the Claremont education funding lawsuit. My concept became New Hampshire law in 1999.

As a then new member of the State Board of Education, I was a defendant in the biggest lawsuit in state history. By saying that the plaintiffs were right, I received support from the education community and lots of criticism, especially from the state. Years later, the New Hampshire Supreme Court proved me to be right.

But not only did I say that the state was wrong; I proposed a new solution, a state property tax.

In early 1999 the state Supreme Court deemed that New Hampshire’s education funding system was unconstitutional and, as a result, New Hampshire needed to fund its education mandates known as the Minimum Standards for Public School Approval with some form of a uniform statewide tax. The court gave the legislature a deadline of April 30, 1999, to come up with a solution or have New Hampshire’s education funding system declared unconstitutional and therefore illegal.

This statement by our court forced our legislature to come up with a solution or face chaos.

Faced with no easy choices, the legislature came to the same conclusion that my colleagues, Gordon Allen and Lee Wilmot, and I came to, which won us a Josiah Bartlett Better Government Award in 1995.

So, in April 1999, kicking and screaming, the legislature came up with a state property tax to fund the state’s education mandates to satisfy the court.

But the kicking and screaming was far from over and the legislature ultimately Mickey Moused the formula to the point that time was virtually guaranteed to make the situation once again intolerable. That’s where we are today and many communities, including Manchester, are getting short-changed and forced into the kinds of local property tax and school funding pressures that caused the Claremont lawsuit in the early ’90s.

Governors from both parties have called for a constitutional amendment to address the education funding issue. This has failed every time they’ve tried. (Please note that anyone calling for a constitutional amendment is, in essence, conceding that they have no plan. A constitutional amendment is virtually impossible to pass.) We need a new education funding plan, one that’s constitutional.

If you’re interested, I know this subject, and I have a new plan.

Hampshire’s waiver request to expand access to treatment for substance abuse, according to a news release from the Governor’s Office. The waiver will allow the state to receive federal funds for adults and adolescents who are Medicaid-eligible and receive residential substance abuse treatment at an approved institution. According to the release, more than $30 million has been spent in the past two years to expand access to treatment and recovery services in New Hampshire. Additionally, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services requested public input on a proposal for an opioid funding grant, which the department plans to submit to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

New Hampshire is eligible for as much as $23 million for a variety of initiatives related to opioid relief, such as increasing access to medication-assisted treatment, reducing unmet treatment needs and providing various prevention, treatment and recovery services.

The department will hold a public input session on Monday, July 23, Opioid funding The Centers for Medicare and from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Brown Medicaid Services approved New Building Auditorium (129 Pleasant St., Concord). Attendees must RSVP by emailing PublicInformaClarification tionOffice@dhhs.nh.gov.

Sens. Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen both released statements responding to Pres. Donald Trump’s nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Kavanaugh, a judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, would replace retiring Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy. Neither of the senators’ statements indicated whether they would vote for or against Kavanaugh, instead saying they would thoroughly review his record. Sen. Hassan said Kavanaugh “must be clear about how he views the importance of legal precedent and straightforward in his answers about past cases involving women’s reproductive rights, health care, the environment, LGBTQ equality and the civil rights of all Americans.”

Sen. Shaheen echoed the importance of these issues to her decision, adding that Kavanaugh “must demonstrate his respect for precedent and his focus on defending the Constitution, independent of political influence or ideology.”

In the Career Q&A with Steven Durost on p. 28 of the July 5 issue of the Hippo, we should have written that Medicare will not reimburse for mental health counselors, but it will reimburse for social workers and psychologists.

Durost added that while Medicare prohibits him from taking on elderly clients, “it does provide a great service to the elders allowing them to have insurance.”

out-of-state college students and other temporary residents to vote in national elections while living in New Hampshire. After the bill was passed by the legislature in May, Gov. Chris Sununu released a statement saying he was “concerned about the bill’s constitutionality” and would ask the New Hampshire Supreme Court to issue a verdict. The court voted 3-2 last week to uphold the bill, declaring there is no constitutional reason to give college students special status and the state has a compelling reason to change its voting requirements. After signing the bill, Gov. Sununu issued a statement saying the bill “restores equality and fairness to our elections. … Finally, every person who votes in New Hampshire will be treated the same. This is the essence of an equal right to vote.”

According to the Concord Monitor, the bill was passed largely along party lines in the legislature.

Republicans argued the change is consistent with all other states’ laws, while Democrats claimed the bill would disenfranchise outof-state college students and other temporary workers and establish a “poll tax” by requiring them to establish residence in New Hampshire in order to vote.

Loudon speedway adjusts to losing NASCAR race

With one of the two annual NASCAR races traditionally held at New Hampshire Motor Speedway being moved to Las Vegas this year, NHMS has adjusted to the change with a series of facility improvements, a new modified car race and a proposed country music festival — all efforts that may help minimize the impact that losing the race might have on tourism.

NASCAR Cup races have been some of New Hampshire’s most significant annual tourist attractions for the last 20 years, when NHMS, located in Loudon, started hosting two races around July and September each year. Southern New Hampshire University published a study on the two races’ economic impact in 2011, reporting that both race weekends combined brought about $180 million into the state each year.

After years of speculation about a potential move, the two-decade tradition came to an end last year. Speedway Motorsports announced in March 2017 that the September race at NHMS would be moving to Las Vegas in 2018 as part of a $2.5 million incentive package from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, according to ESPN. Speedway Motorsports owns eight race tracks across the country, including the speedways in Loudon and Las Vegas.

“I certainly understand the business side of the way it works; there was a lot of investment from [the Las Vegas] market to move the race, and that’s hard to come by these days,” said David McGrath, executive vice president and general manager of NHMS. “I feel bad for the fans. I think they’ve come to enjoy the two [NASCAR Cup] races in the summer. But at the end of the day, we’re still going to put on a great show for race fans who come to the track.”

Moving forward

121738

That starts with the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301, this year’s July installment of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series on Sunday, July 22. The weekend will kick off with pre-race events starting on Friday, July 20, including a performance from the rock band Loverboy at 11 a.m. on Sunday.

McGrath said Foxwoods Resort Casino’s sponsorship of the race is the continuation of a partnership that will “bring some cool things online.” For example, fans who renewed their NHMS tickets on July race weekend last year received a free overnight stay at Foxwoods.

McGrath added that NHMS has invested in several facility improvements, including

upgrades to box suites, new entry ways, a completely redesigned front entrance and new monuments. NHMS also revamped its trackside terrace and camping sites, adding full power, water and sewer services. Campsites for this year’s race sold out within days of the announcement, according to McGrath.

One of the track’s biggest additions is a new VIP Track Bar in the main grandstand suites right above the start/finish line. The suite includes a cash bar and private bathrooms and will be open to 76 people over the course of the July race weekend. Various ticket packages include perks like a pre-race pit pass and a guided tour of the facility.

The race must go on

Though the July race weekend will be the only NASCAR Cup event at NHMS this year, race fans will still have a reason to head to the speedway come September, as it will be replacing its traditional September race with three new, short track races during the Full Throttle Fall Weekend on Friday, Sept. 21, and Saturday, Sept. 22.

The main event of the weekend will be the Musket 250, a 250-lap stock car race that marks the longest race in the history of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Series, according to NHMS. Modified cars are open-wheeled and shorter and wider than cars raced in the NASCAR Monster Cup Series.

The weekend will also include a 125-lap championship points race for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, as well as a 100-lap NASCAR Pinty’s Series race. According to NHMS, this will be the first NASCAR Pinty’s Series race held outside of Canada.

“We knew 2017 would be the last year we’d have two [NASCAR Cup] events, so we focused on creating a new event to maintain the energy of having two great racing weekends,” said McGrath. “There’s been a lot of buzz about NASCAR hosting short track events and playing to the roots of our sport, so we’re honored to start a new weekend and give fans from across New England a cool new experience.”

According to McGrath, the main difference between the July and September races is the access fans will have during the Full Throttle

Fall Weekend. There will be a fan zone set up on the infield of the track, where there will be meet-and-greet and autograph sessions with drivers and a chance to see the car garages.

Shifting gears

One of the biggest developments at the speedway is unrelated to racing. Last year, NHMS and Live Nation received approval from the Loudon Zoning Board to host a multiday country music festival on the speedway’s property. The festival will include three days of live music and an onsite camping area for thousands of campers featuring rides, beer gardens and other amenities.

Though the festival was originally slated to be held this summer, an extended legal process stemming from a 30-year-old contract has slowed the process. After the zoning board approved the festival, NHPR reported that a group of Loudon residents living next to the speedway filed suit based on a 1989 agreement they signed with NHMS related to sound ordinances. The residents claimed the agreement prohibited music concerts being held on the property and raised concerns over the proposed festival causing excessive loudness at late hours.

The case reached the Merrimack County Superior Court, and in May a judge ruled in favor of the festival. According to NHPR, the court clarified that the restriction from the agreement pertains solely to the racetrack and grandstands purchased at the time and excludes property purchased after 1989, which has since been zoned for concerts and outdoor events.

McGrath said the case has now been appealed to New Hampshire Supreme Court, and he expects a final verdict by early fall. In the meantime, he said NHMS and Live Nation are continuing to move forward with planning the festival, which is tentatively scheduled for mid-August 2019.

“The town recognizes we’re not Johnny-come-lately when it comes to hosting big events; we’ve done it year in and year out for close to 30 years,” said McGrath. “We hope the Supreme Court upholds this decision, because we think this festival could become a marquee event at the speedway.”

Nursery pines

State growing program had strong year

By Scott Murphy

smurphy@hippopress.com

Tucked away on 16 acres in Boscawen, seedbeds with dozens of seedling varieties are grown each year by the New Hampshire State Nursery to sell as a main source of funding.

This past spring was the nursery’s strongest season in several years; it raised $137,371 by selling 152,410 seedlings.

Adequate ground coverage was key to this season’s success, according to Shaun Bresnahan, regional forester for the Division of Forest and Lands’ Central Region. The nursery depends on consistent snow coverage over the winter months to insulate the ground and allow seedlings to grow enough before spring.

Due to warm temperatures and unreliable snow in the past couple years, Bresnahan said, the nursery’s seedbeds were susceptible to the elements and couldn’t germinate properly.

“This year was a good turnaround season for us,” Bresnahan said. “We also started experimenting with different materials and mulches to help insulate the seedbeds.”

The combination of natural and manmade coverage paid off this year. Revenue from the 2018 season increased about 58 percent from the roughly $86,000 the nursery made in 2017. Bresnahan added that this year’s sales were the highest since 2014, when the nursery made about $145,700.

A typical season

The nursery is part of the Division of Forest and Lands, and according to Bresnahan, revenue from selling seedlings and timber is the main source of funding for the nursery’s operations. Bresnahan said the nursery starts planting seedlings in the fall and gets about 90 percent of its seeds from local sources to ensure they’re well-adapted to the New Hampshire climate. A variety of seedlings are offered for sale each year, including fir, spruce, pine, maple, black walnut, oak and an array of conservation shrub seedlings.

Once the seedlings are planted in midOctober, the nursery will take an inventory and list its stock in a catalog, which it sends out around Thanksgiving. People who’ve purchased seedlings in the last three years are automatically added to a mailing list, along with anyone who’s asked to be included. A majority of orders are purchased in advance based on the catalog, according to Bresnahan, who said that about $85,000 of the nursery’s revenue from this season came from pre-orders.

Once spring hits, the nursery starts harvesting seedlings and fulfilling orders from the previous fall. People are also welcome to purchase seedlings onsite from the middle of April through late May, depending on the season.

Beat the heat

Bresnahan said selling seedlings in this time frame mimics the natural awakening process of spring, which is why sales wrap up before summer hits.

“As soon as frost comes out of the ground each year, we go into ‘lifting mode,’ where we remove the seedlings from the ground while they’re still dormant,” said Bresnahan. “We bring them into our barn where they’re bagged and frozen, and we have about a four-week window to sell them so they stay dormant. By the end of May, survivability goes way down. We tend to get regular rain in the spring, but once you get into summer, you’d better be putting water on [the seedlings].”

That’s especially true for this summer, according to Bresnahan. The lack of rain and high temperatures have prompted the nursery to focus more heavily on watering efforts and applying fabric covers to shade plants so they do not get hit by full sunlight and dry out.

“If we get a quarter to a half inch of rain a week, that’s all we need, but we haven’t been getting that,” he said.

Once the season closes, Bresnahan said, the nursery is mostly in maintenance mode.

All but three acres have actively growing seed beds right now, with the nursery rotating these remaining three acres every two years to grow “green manure.” The nursery typically uses millet, and just as it produces a seed head, Bresnahan said, they plow the crop under so it can break down and add more organic matter into the soil.

Though seedlings won’t be available for sale onsite until next season, Bresnahan said the nursery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and encouraged anyone to stop by the facilities (405 Daniel Webster Highway, Boscawen).

Culture commissioner

New state department gets a fresh perspective

Sarah Stewart took over as commissioner of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources in early June. The agency was created by Gov. Chris Sununu and the state legislature in July 2017, as part of an effort to reorganize several divisions of the state’s government. Prior to being confirmed as commissioner, Stewart worked as a political strategist and was most recently co-founder and president of B-Fresh Consulting in Concord.

You’re ... taking over as a commissioner of a pretty new department. How do you feel about this new opportunity?

I’m excited to see the connectivity among the divisions in the new department: Parks and Recreation, Forests and Lands, Libraries, Historical Resources and the State Council on the Arts. Seeing the connectivity that naturally takes place between these divisions and the potential for new collaboration between them is exciting. I think our state is known for our natural and cultural resources and our love of preserving our past. … Our mission is to make these resources accessible and support local grassroots organizations and networks that are connected to their local assets.

What’s changed with each of the divisions in the new department? Will they benefit from being under one roof?

I think in a very practical way, they benefit from division directors being able to connect in real time on a regular basis, which allows them to update each other on problems as they occur. Someone from libraries can say, “Parks and Recreation is doing an interesting program with trails, why can’t we promote that with our network of libraries in the state?” … I think our state’s assets will benefit from our divisions’ being able to find unique ways to collaborate.

Cities and towns across the state have been revitalizing their downtowns over the last several years. How has the department been involved in these efforts, in terms of preserving historic districts and landmarks?

Several communities are seeing how they can leverage their current assets in a way that will help the local economy but preserve historical resources. When you drive around New Hampshire, you can see remnants of creative placemaking from hundreds of years ago — a library next to an opera house next to a town green, for example. The benefits of this were clearly obvious to our forefathers in New Hampshire, and now we’re having this conversation again so we can plan for future opportunities. Each town has its own unique culture and unique historical buildings and areas. … They are all very different and What are you into right now?

With the kids, getting out to the water and finding refreshment in our lakes has literally been what I’ve been into.

inspire different local groups to invest in them.

Our department helps in various ways with planning these projects. For example, we work with town planners to integrate art into downtowns so we can promote local Sarah L. Stewart artists and our history of craftwork in New Hampshire. Our Historical Resources division also works closely with nonprofits and downtowns to identify grant money.

New Hampshire’s natural and cultural amenities are among the state’s most praised features. What is so unique about our state’s environment and communities?

What’s unique about New Hampshire is the sense of pride and local commitment to our resources. It’s very clear already to me on this job that whether we’re talking about a state park, a historic site or another potential project in a community, it all really comes down to the people involved. … We have beautiful mountains, views, rivers, lakes and ocean fronts, but a lot of states do. In New Hampshire we’re very much engaged at the local level. … As I tour around the state and visit our parks and our libraries and festivals, it’s clear they would be irrelevant if not for the people and partnerships and local organizations that make sure these places and events have life and passion.

What are some of your favorite natural and cultural places to visit in New Hampshire?

I have three young kids ... and we are out and about in New Hampshire regularly. Every summer we spend a week at Lake Sunapee, and Mt. Sunapee State Beach has become a family favorite. It’s a really wonderful family spot. When we’re out there, we try to hit up the New London Barn Playhouse. Last year we saw Seussical the Musical, which was a big hit with the kids. … Going from the beach to the playhouse are common things in New Hampshire. It’s kind of a literal example of how these different things are used by our visitors and residents in similar ways. … My mother-in-law lives in Freedom, so we spend a lot of time at Ossipee Lake. We’re definitely a lake family. … We live in Manchester, and we go to the Manchester library often, which has a ton of programming that is fantastic for a family like mine. — Scott Murphy

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S LONGSHOTS

Sox trending toward historic season The Red Sox begin the year’s second half tomorrow in Detroit. Though having played 96 of 162 games already, it’s really the season’s final third.

From winning 17 of 18 after the Game 1 loss in Tampa, to already hitting nine grand slams after having none last year, to being 38 games above .500 at the All-Star break, it’s been a remarkable season to date. Putting that last statement into context, if the Sox go 32-36 in their last 68 games they will still win 100 games for the first time in 72 years.

It’s happened behind a mix of great individual play and others reaching expected promise with contributions up and down the bench. All of which has them on pace to win 112. Here’s why and what’s needed to keep the pedal to the medal.

The High Point: It came in last week’s two-out, bases-loaded 13-pitch battle between J.A. Happ and Mookie Betts concluding with Mookie sending a 3-2 offering onto Landsdowne Street. It personified how this team just relentlessly wears you down.

It was baseball at its best: drama, excitement and pure fun.

Alex Cora: Even the most fervent defender of uptight John Farrell has to wonder if the dramatic improvement of Mookie, Xander Bogaerts, Andrew Benintendi and others is a coincidence or due to his relaxed management style. Beyond that, I love hitters attacking the first pitch, how aggressively they challenge outfielders for the extra base and that Betts, Benintendi and Jackie Bradley are in double figures in steals. And how about not allowing a stolen base for 18 straight games until Elvis Andrus left the building for one last week. Terry Francona let the bad guys steal anytime they wanted and I can’t tell you how much I hated that.

Throw in off the charts media skills in this ridiculous market and I’m all in.

Mookie Betts: Saying he’s the closest thing there is these days to Willie Mays seems a bit of an overstatement. But with Mookie batting .359, with 23 homers, 18 steals, 72 runs. 51 RBI and being baseball’s best right fielder that few dare to run on, tell me what Willie did that Mookie isn’t now doing. True, he needs to do this about, oh, 18 more years to match Willie. But what he’s been doing, to quote Coach B, in all phases, is what made Willie so great.

Chris Sale: At 10-4 with a 2.23 ERA and a league-leading 188 strikeouts he’s been outstanding. But with 78 strikeouts in 48 innings while giving up just 21 hits, nine walks and five earned runs for a .094 ERA over his last seven starts going into the AllStar game, he’s been Pedro-like. The issue with him, however, is wearing down in the second half after stellar first-half starts. It’s why Cora’s taken pains to lessen the innings and pitch counts when possible. Hopefully that approach works.

J.D. Martinez: He leads the majors in homers and runs batted in with 29 and 80.

That projects to 48 homers and 135 RBI. Though if he matches his production in 62 games after being traded to Arizona last July of 29 and 65 they grow to 58 and 146. That at half the cost the Yanks are paying Giancarlo Stanton in dollars, while costing no minorleague players to get him. Nice job Dombo.

Xander Bogaerts: A frustrating figure for 2½ seasons now living up to his promise.

After dinking and dunking for two years, he’s now driving the ball. The 16 homers and 64 RBI project to a middle of the order 27 and 108 while hitting .284. Accumulating injuries have contributed to three straight second-half fades so beware. But, so far, I’ll take it.

Craig Kimbrel: With that beard I’m not sure if he’s a Hatfield or McCoy. But the numbers again are incredible — 30 saves and two wins in 41 appearances with 62 Ks in 40.1 innings and 1.77 ERA. However, I still need to be convinced about him facing postseason pressure. So check back in October.

Top Need: I keep seeing Manny Machado in the rumor mill. Don’t want to go all Lou Gorman on you, but where would he play? I know, he’s an upgrade on Rafael Devers. But given they lead baseball in runs and are 38 games over .500 for the first time since 1949, they’ve survived nicely without Machado, a two-month rental who’ll cost the 20-year-old on pace for 30 homers in Devers. Can you say Jeff Bagwell? Ironically, what they needed most before Eddie Rodriguez got hurt Saturday is what Gorman got when he gifted Bagwell to Houston in 1988 — a lights-out eighth-inning reliever. Because for all the grief Sweet Lou has gotten over losing Bags, Larry Anderson was great until he got hurt.

Second Need: After E-Rod’s sprained ankle, maybe a starter. Especially given his Buchholz-like recovery speed. But that depends on the DL’d Steven Wright and mechanically struggling Drew Pomeranz.

If they get something from either, they probably can wait. If not, they need to deal.

The Yanks: They faded right after sending Boston from the Stadium down one game in the East. Now the Yanks are 4.5 back, in need of at least one starter and hot after Machado with the minor-league ammo to get both.

Historic Season: I said earlier, they haven’t won 100 in 72 years. For the mathematically challenged, that’s when Ted Williams and company won 104 in 1946.

Before that — 1915. Meaning they’ve won 100 just once in 103 years! They only other 100-win season was 1912. So in being on a 112-win pace they have a chance to be the greatest Red Sox team in history.

Space prevents going deeper on other intriguing stories like E-Rod, Benintendi and Devers to name three. They’ll have to wait until later in the year. For now, on to the second half.

Where are they now?

Paradis in golf paradise

The Big Story: After a grinding weeklong battle at Hanover Country Club the last man standing at the State Amateur Golf Tournament was Hooksett’s Matt Paradis. After coming up short in the finals the last two years, the SNHU star got over the hump with a dominating performance in the 36-hole final vs. Pat Pelletier, winning at 6 up with five to play on the 30th hole.

The other big story of the tournament was the domination of young players throughout medal and match play, led by Paradis and the Nashua duo of Brandon Gillis (Wake Forest) and Tommy Ethier (Bentley), who advanced to the semifinal round.

Sports 101: Name the three former Cardinals who strangely have a plaque in the Monument Park inside Yankee Stadium mostly dedicated to the achievement of New York Yankees icons.

Shuffles off to Buffalo Award: What we said probably would happen a few weeks back happened when the Blue Jays promoted Vlad Guerrero Jr. out of Manchester to their AAA in Buffalo. Vlad heads to western New York after hitting .407 with 11 homers and 55 RBI in his two healthy months in town.

Coming and Going: Congrats go out to Manchester Monarchs alum Jeff Giuliano, who leaves the Ms bench to be an assistant

Sport 101 Answers: The former Cardinals honored in Monument Park are Popes Paul IV, John Paul II and Benedict XVI. All were Cardinals before being promoted to Pope and are honored there for saying high Mass at the old Yankee Stadium while touring America during their respective reigns.

On This Day – July 19 in 1936: Cleveland brings 17-year-old Iowa farm boy Bob Feller to the big club, who goes 5-3 with a 3.34 ERA and 76 strikeouts in 61 innings the rest of the way. He hit his full Hall of Fame stride in 1939 when he went 24-7 at 20, followed by 27- and 25-win seasons before interrupting the career by enlisting in the Navy to serve in World War II the day after Pearl Harbor. The career ended in after 1956 after six 20-win seasons, 266 wins overall and three no-hitters to his credit,. Though, given that he won 26 upon his return, it’s likely WWII cost him 100 wins that would have gave him a fifth alltime best of 366.

KATY EASTERLY MARTEY - BOYS & GIRLS CLUB Katy Easterly Martey first set foot in the Boys & Girls Club after moving to Manchester, NH at the age of six. She quickly fell in love with the organization, and enjoyed all of the activities and freedom offered at both the Boys & Girls Club and Camp Foster. She took particular pride in her swimming, and enjoyed showcasing her knowledge and abilities during safe swim testing. Following her time as a camper, Katy became a counselor-in-training, then one of Camp Foster’s summer counselors. She spent her time guiding kids in the “life principles” taught there: order, responsibility, and hard work.

After graduating from Central High School, she attended Syracuse University, where she majored in public policy and geography with a minor in architecture. This led to a career in public service, which eventually brought her to her current role as Executive Director of the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority.

"

I sensed early on there was a progression for kids at the Club. Where over time you could go from campers and Boys & Girls Club kids, to CIT’s and eventually counselors and full time staff, which had to be earned. It taught me that accepting responsibility, making good choices, hard work and doing your job the right way led to opportunity. That’s true in what I see in my professional life as an adult today. So that’s a great lesson for kids to learn and something that always stayed with me.

Cruisin’

Gear up for car show season in the Granite State

By Scott Murphy

smurphy@hippopress.com

here’s nothing quite like a leisurely drive on a warm summer day, and for many Granite Staters, their ride is as important as the journey — which helps explain all the car shows and cruise nights that take place throughout the state each summer. They’re a way for car enthusiasts to show off their vehicles, talk with like-minded hobbyists and share their love of cars with the general public. The events are typically family-friendly and welcoming to anyone, including those who have never been to a car show and are looking for something new to do. They range from smaller gatherings at local food spots to massive annual traditions boasting hundreds of vehicles.

Join the club

Like many car enthusiasts, Dean Gagne’s love for the road comes with a story from his childhood. Gagne is now treasurer and car show coordinator for the Gate City Corvette Club in Nashua, one of several New Hampshire car clubs that run many of the state’s summer cruise nights and car shows. His lifelong love of cars all started with a 1988 Corvette Coupe.

“There used to be a Corvette dealership in Manchester called Corvette City, and as a kid driving by seeing all the nice cars I always wanted one,” said Gagne. “When I got out of college I bought a brand new 1988 coupe and drove it all the time. If there wasn’t snow out I was driving it.”

Gagne joined the Nashua club soon after, and he’s watched the club change quite a bit over the last 30 years. Yet, he said, the central ethos is simple — hosting a wide range of events for a reason to pull the Corvette out of the garage. The club has put on everything from ice cream and coffee runs to an annual spring car show.

“It’s fun to have 10 to 30 Corvettes driving together,” said Gagne. “The comradery of the club is fun and feels like an extended family. Some of us have seen our kids grow up together.”

Unsurprisingly, Gagne said members need to own a Corvette at the time they join the club, though they can sell the car later on and still stay involved. But other clubs in the state and the various summer HIPPO | JULY 19 - 25, 2018 | PAGE 12

cruise nights are open to owners of any type of car.

This includes the Lone Wolf Cruisers Car Club in Concord, which hosts cruise nights every Tuesday during the summer at Arnie’s Place in Concord. Anyone is welcome to bring their car down and enjoy food, cars and a 50/50 raffle. Since the club started the tradition in the mid’90s, the Lone Wolves have welcomed cars of every model, shape and size.

“The club is about the love of cars, not about how old the car is or what brand it is,” said Cody Dumont, secretary and treasurer of the club. “We’re open to all car enthusiasts who like the smell of gasoline.”

The Lone Wolves also puts on events geared toward getting out and hitting the road. Dumont said the club has hosted different cruises over the years, including a drive along the Kancamagus Highway and a tour of the state’s covered bridges.

Unfortunately, some of the state’s car clubs are facing an obstacle in the road with aging memberships. Dumont said the Lone Wolves once had as many as 30 members, but membership has more recently fluctuated between 10 and 15 active members. He added that most of the club’s members are over 60 years old, and at 45 he’s the youngest active member.

“It seems like people under 35 don’t really join organized clubs as much as they like to just get together and hang out,” said Dumont. “I also think younger kids like different types of cars. Sometimes older car club members will say, ‘It’s not a car from the ’70s or ’80s, it doesn’t belong here.’ That really hurts car clubs.”

Gagne reported similar trends with the Gate City Corvette Club, which is down to around 65 members from as many as 100 in the past. He attributed the lack of youth members to the cost of owning a Corvette, or any nicer car for that matter.

“If you want to buy a brand new Corvette, you’re talking between $60,000 to $70,000, which most young people can’t afford,” said Gagne. “Plus it’s a seasonal car, especially in New England. You typically need to own a second car, which only adds to the expense.”

Still, others in the New Hampshire car scene agree with Dumont that younger car

owners simply have changing interests and seek out different types of events. The annual Hot Import Nights at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon is a popular car show tour and motorsport festival that attracts attendees of all ages. The event includes exotic car ride-alongs and drifting, which is when a driver guides the car around a tight corner at high speeds.

“Some would argue that car culture among younger demographics is not what it was when some of us when were in our teens, but I think Hot Import Nights illustrates that there’s still a very vibrant culture,” said David McGrath, executive vice president and general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. “When you look at some of the cars that people bring to the speedway, the customizations and performance improvements are nothing short of amazing.”

Engine for change

Cars aren’t the only thing New Hampshire car shows have in common.

Conversations with organizers around the state revealed a consistent theme of raising money for local charities and awareness for unsung causes.

One of the longest-running charity car shows in the state is British Cars of New Hampshire’s annual Show of Dreams, which has raised money for New Hampshire charities since 1997. The event has been held at the Hill House Field at Alvirne

High School in Hudson for the last few years and posted its most successful show to date in 2017.

Last year’s show attracted over 200 cars and raised about $14,000 from donations, registration fees and sponsorships, which benefited the High Hopes Foundation of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Food Bank. Bob Dougherty, prime minister of the British Cars of New Hampshire, said the club is pushing to have more cars at this year’s show, which will be held on Saturday, July 28, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Alvirne. The show field will also have carrelated vendors, craft vendors, music, food and a raffle and silent auction.

“As much as we love driving our cars, we’re most proud of how much we give back to the community,” said Dougherty.

“That’s the reason why we work on the Show of Dreams all year. The more cars we get, the more we raise for charity.”

The club also added a new fundraiser last year called the New England British Reliability Run. The event saw 25 British cars complete a three-day, 600-mile drive through the White Mountains to raise money for Boston Children’s Hospital. The inaugural run raised over $16,000 for the hospital.

Dougherty hopes to bump that up to $20,000 this year. The three-day route for 2018 will run through the coasts of New Hampshire and Maine, starting on Friday, Sept. 7, at Historic Motorsports in Candia.

New rides

Two newer shows in New Hampshire will continue their fundraising efforts on Saturday, Aug. 18, at either end of the state. Local nonprofit and car club JAK Kustoms will be hosting its second annual Salute the Troops Car Show from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at AnheuserBusch Factory in Merrimack. The show will feature food vendors and military vehicles brought in by the National Guard.

Jeff Riley, president of JAK Kustoms and a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, said the event is meant to raise money for and recognition of local veteran organizations and causes.

“Our goal is to help keep patriotism alive, and we want to make sure that aspect doesn’t get lost at our show,” said Riley.

The inaugural show had just under 100 cars onsite and raised about $3,600 for the Manchester VA Medical Center. This year’s proceeds will benefit The Liberty House, a transitional home for veterans in Manchester.

Over in Pelham, the second annual Cars and Cans Car Show will also be held on Aug. 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the village green. Along with accepting donations, the show will collect canned goods and non-perishable items for the Food Pantry of Pelham at St. Patrick Parish. Trisha and Glenn Muldoon launched the show last year after seeing a need in Pelham to support local food-insecure households.

“We had our daughter two and a half years ago, and we donated leftover baby food and formula that a family with a young child was able to use,” said Trisha Muldoon. “We had all this unopened, unexpired food that we could’ve just thrown away, but instead we were able to make an impact in the community.”

The Muldoons have always enjoyed going to car shows and decided to organize a show of their own to raise money for the Food Pantry of Pelham. They promoted the show via social media and at local car shows and ultimately attracted over 100 cars to the first Cars and Cans Car Show. The event raised $3,400 and collected about 1,174 pieces of

food, which Trisha Muldoon said went on to support about 45 to 50 local households with 100 people for roughly six months.

The couple is expecting a larger turnout this year and moved the show from St. Patrick Parish to the Pelham village green for extra space. Like last year, the event will have a DJ, several food vendors, raffle prizes and trophies for each car class.

Not your average show

Not every car show is full of hot rods and muscle cars. Two annual car gatherings bring together unique vehicles built in a variety of time periods.

The annual Show of Dreams allows the British Cars of New Hampshire to feature over 30 types of antique British cars.

Everything from vintage Aston Martins to Jaguars to Austin-Healeys will be on display, offering a different look at luxury cars from past decades.

“The cars that were popular when I was growing up were these big huge things with fenders and chrome, but then there were these British cars that were different and tiny and kind of sexy,” said Dougherty. “They’re still very different and cool.

We’ll drive around today and people will come up and say, ‘I had one of those.”’

Up in Weare, the Merrimack Valley Military Vehicle Collectors have put on an annual rally for over 30 years. The event typically showcases over 100 antique military vehicles from various U.S. conflicts. The organization will also offer trail rides, ice cream runs and scenic tours. The rally will run from Thursday, July 26, to Saturday, July 28, and will be held at a site behind Center Woods School in Weare.

“We’ve had people bring vehicles from World War II all the way through the modern generation,” said John Eldridge, president of the Merrimack Valley Military Vehicle Collectors. “The rally allows club members to display their restoration of some of these vehicles and share what they represent and the period they are from.”

ARTS Art at twilight

Currier Museum of Art hosts summer block party

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

The Currier Museum of Art in Manchester will be open to the public and full of art-related fun during Twilight at the Currier, the museum’s second annual summer block party, on Saturday, July 21.

The evening event will feature indoor and outdoor activities, live entertainment, food and drink and access to the museum’s exhibitions.

“We started it because we wanted to have an opportunity to invite folks from the community to come out and be involved in art-looking and art-making, and to show that we are a welcoming community venue,” said Lynn Thomson, manager of Community Education and Museum Engagement.

Participate in fun art activities like chalk drawing, creating a storyboard and creating a mythical creature using stamping materials, or you can make yourself a work of art by getting a face painting or airbrush tattoo, getting a personal caricature done or snapping some photos in the photo booth.

Many of the art activities correspond with the museum’s current special exhibition, “Beyond Words: Book Illustrations

by David M. Carroll, Tomie dePaola, and Beth Krommes,” which features more than 130 original book illustrations by three of New Hampshire’s most

The exhibition is family-friendly and includes labels written for a general audience as well as labels written for children, placed lower on the wall to help children engage with the art. It also has a designated reading space with some of the books that feature the artists’ illustrations. Visitors attending Twilight at the Currier will have the rare opportunity to view “Beyond Words” free of charge.

six-piece string band; and fire performer Brigid Sinclair (8:30 to 9 p.m.), whose performance will also tie into the “Beyond Words” exhibition.

Eight food trucks will be parked outside the museum selling barbecue, pizza, ethnic cuisine, ice cream, cupcakes and more.

There will be additional food and drinks offered at the museum’s drink stand and Winter Garden Cafe, as well as local craft beer options at the museum’s Beer and Wine Garden.

The first Twilight at the Currier, held last year, drew a crowd of around 2,000 people, far surpassing what the museum anticipated, Thomson said, and with more activities, entertainment and food options added this year, another large turnout is expected.

“It’s great to see everyone, whether it’s folks who haven’t been to the museum in a long time or folks who have never been, all come together because of the arts, for a “A lot of the event is inspired by really fun night,” she said.

‘Beyond Words.’ We pull from it quite a bit,” Thomson said. “We encourage people to go explore that exhibit and all of the Twilight at the Currier other galleries on that night.”

is on display at the Nashua Public Library (2 Court St., Nashua) in the Image Gallery now through July 31, with an artist reception on Tuesday, July 24, from 5 to 7 p.m.

Prior to becoming a full-time painter and earning BFA and MFA degrees in visual arts and painting from the New Hampshire Institute of Art, Turner worked in the auto body restoration business for 30 years. His oil paintings depict stories from Greek and Roman mythology and folklore using imagery of automobiles. “I fell in love with the character of vintage and rusty vehicles. … I realized they have a lot of character,” he told the Hippo earlier this month. “The headlights look like eyes, the grills look like a nose, and the bumper looks like a mouth, so I brought them in as characters in my stories and used them as substitutes for humans.” The exhibition may be viewed during regular library hours.

The kids of the Windham Actors Guild are putting a new spin on Lewis Carroll’s novel Through the Looking Glass with their summer youth musical production Wonderland!, opening Friday, July 20, at Windham High School.

Through the Looking Glass, published in 1871, is the sequel to Carroll’s 1865 novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. It’s set six months after the events of the first book and follows Alice as she climbs through a mirror into a fantastical world that resembles a game of chess.

Not to be confused with Wonderland: A New Alice, another musical based on Carroll’s stories that premiered on Broadway in 2011, Wonderland! is an original musical written for youth theater, made available by the theater publishing and licensing company Pioneer Drama Service.

It centers on a young girl, Alice, who is fed up with being a kid and always being told what to do. Through her imagination, she travels to Wonderland, where she becomes a pawn in a giant game of chess.

As she moves toward the last square on the board, where she will become a queen, she encounters all kinds of characters, including a baseball team, a gospel group called The Responsibilities, a train conductor, starstruck tourists, plastic light-saber-wielding knights and others.

“It appeals to a wide audience, which fairy tales typically do, but it’s not your run-of-the-mill fairy tale. The concept is different, which is why I’m drawn to it,” director Colleen Strang said.

When Alice finally becomes a queen, she is immediately burdened with the real-world responsibilities of a ruler, like providing fresh water for Jack and Jill and keeping the peace among her people. She ultimately decides to relinquish her new title and return home to be a normal kid again.

Alice’s coming-of-age, or rather, her purposeful lack thereof, is something to which the actors, being kids and teens themselves, can relate, Strang said.

“Kids can’t wait to grow up and make their own decisions and be the boss, but they can’t imagine, at that age, what adults have to do: go to work, pay the bills, make sure there’s food on the table,” she said.

“Alice sees that being in charge comes with a price, and she realizes that she’s not ready for that, and that’s OK. I think that idea resonates with many kids.”

In Wonderland!, there is a white queen, portrayed as a peacemaker, and a red

queen, who likes to stir the pot; one of the challenges to producing a play or musical based on a classic fairy tale, Strang said, is breaking out of the “good” and “evil” stereotypes, like that of the two queens, to develop characters who are more complex.

“I try to encourage [the actors], especially the older teens, to imagine a backstory for their characters to give them more depth,” she said. “Anger, for example, seems like an easy emotion, but I ask them, how else can you play that? Maybe [the character] isn’t just angry. Maybe it’s more complicated than that.”

The cast includes 37 kids ages 8 through 18. The Windham Actors Guild opens its youth productions to kids with all levels of theater experience, from kids who have performed with the prestigious Palace Theatre in Manchester, to kids who have never spoken in front of an audience before.

“We try to make theater accessible to both the audience and the actors and [crew]. We try to reflect the community,” Strang said.

“Everyone brings something different to the table, and when you bring together this cross-section of people, everyone learns and grows.”

July through October is fair season in New Hampshire, and this year more than a dozen country fairs are scheduled to take place across the state. It all starts, as it has for many years, with the Stratham Fair, happening Thursday, July 19, through Sunday, July 22.

Now in its 51st year, the Stratham Fair is one of the oldest country fairs in New England. You’ll find all the traditional fair fun: farm animals, amusement rides, live entertainment, tasty food and more.

Two of the most long-standing events at the fair — the horse pull, held since the inaugural fair, and the oxen pull, held since the second fair — continue to draw large crowds.

“The roots of the fair are based in agriculture, and we still give people the opportunity to see those traditional agricultural events, like a horse pull, and to see the animals up close,” fair entertainment coordinator Vicky Poland said.

The local 4-H Youth Development Program will also have agricultural events each day, such as a rabbit show, a goat milking demonstration, a tractor driving contest, a Stratham Fair Where: Stratham Hill Park, 157 Portsmouth Ave., Stratham When: Thursday, July 19, 3 to 10 p.m., and Friday, July 20, through Sunday, July 22, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Cost: $10 for general admission, $5 for kids ages 6 through 12 and seniors age 65 and up, and free for kids under age 6. Unlimited rides wristbands are $25, available Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

working steer show, animal costume classes, a dairy calf obstacle course and more.

“It’s a great experience to talk with the 4-H-ers,” Poland said. “They work really hard to take care of their animals year-round for this kind of event. They’re proud of their animals, and they love to talk about them.”

There will be three stages with live entertainment. The Family Fun Stage will feature magic shows, kids’ music and the famous Stratham Fair Pie Eating Contest.

At the Center Stage, local musicians and dance groups will perform. The Beer Tent Stage is the place for acoustic music, wine, hard cider and beer from this year’s featured brewer, Sea Dog Brewing Co. In addition to the food concessions, which will include burgers, fajitas, ice cream, lemonade and other fair favorites, there will be special meals: a chili dinner on Thursday, a lobster bake lunch on Saturday and a chicken barbecue on Sunday.

New this year, there will be an artisan demonstration area where a leatherworker, a blacksmith and other artisans will sell their handmade products and demonstrate their crafts.

“It’s just another way for people to see how things are made, and the traditions that have been around for many years and many generations,” Poland said.

This will be the second year that the fair has had fireworks on opening night, and the first year that it will also have fireworks on closing night.

“It’s an exciting thing to get people to come out and kick off the celebration with some fireworks, and now it will be a nice way to wrap things up and bring the community together,” Poland said.

When I was a beginning gardener, I just planted vegetables in one place, flowers in another, and never spent 2 minutes thinking about the overall design. I was growing veggies to eat, flowers to admire or to cut and arrange in bouquets. But reading gardening books and visiting fine gardens made me realize that overall design is important.

One feature of an alluring garden is a dramatic entrance. For the past 20 years or more I’ve had a series of garden arbors that invite visitors to pass through to see what lies on the other side. I’ve made bentwood arbors of saplings and, more recently, simple Japanesestyle arbors of cedar or striped maple.

You can build a nice entrance to your garden, or a garden room, for virtually no cost. If you have a supply of 2-inch-diameter hardwood saplings, you can build one for the cost of a few wood screws and a scrap of plywood.

But it will only last a couple of years. I built one recently for a wedding using saplings, as it only needed to be perfect for a day.

Alternatively you can buy cedar posts and build something that will last at least 10 years.

I’ve done both, and favor the investment in cedar. The cedar posts I’ve used have been round with and have narrower cylindrical tips on each end designed to fit into vertical posts. I cut off the tips, making them about 8 feet long. Unlike rustic cedar posts used for attaching fencing, these have the bark removed, which is good. Bark promotes rot.

Tip 1: Decide on the size you need, and cut a piece of scrap plywood to that size. The plywood guarantees that the finished product will have the vertical posts arranged in a rectangle or square, and not a diamond or a rhombus. If you are making a permanent structure and it is surrounded by lawn, be sure it is wide enough for your lawnmower to pass through, with a little extra space for plants.

Tip 2: Get a post hole digger. This is a twohanded device that allows you to scoop out soil relatively easily. It makes a 6- or 8-inchdiameter hole, which you can’t do with a shovel. Dig holes a foot deep to give a sturdy feel to your arbor. I put a few small stones (the size of golf balls) in each hole alongside the posts and jam them in with a hand tool.

You can build an arbor with four or six upright posts. For smaller diameter posts (using saplings), I prefer using six. The more substantial cedar posts only need four posts, one on each corner. Something 4 to 5 feet wide and 4 feet from front to back is a nice size.

Tip 3: You are not building a violin. It is easy to get obsessed with making every post absolutely vertical, and every horizontal precisely level. But, especially for arbors made

This cedar arbor suppports wisteria and clematis vines, and is over 10 years old

of saplings, each piece is slightly different.

Some have little curves, others have lumps and bumps. Work with a helper so one of you can adjust your posts to look good — standing straight up, with roughly level cross pieces. So long as it looks good to your eye, it is fine.

Tip 4: Pre-drill where you want to screw two pieces together. Borrow a second cordless drill, so you have one with a drill bit, one with a driver bit for Phillips screws. Use screws long enough to go through one piece, and at least an inch into the other. Have a variety of lengths available.

Each side needs three horizontal braces that are held in place with screws or lag bolts.

Install one a couple of inches below the top, to hold the rafters; one at waist height, say 36 inches off the ground; one 8 to 10 inches off the ground. I usually add a few pieces running vertically from the middle to the lower cross pieces.

If you can’t get smaller-sized cedar posts for the rafters and cross pieces, you can use 2-by-2-inch rough-sawn lumber, either cedar or hemlock. Once vines are growing on them, you will never notice that they’re not round.

The alternative, using maple branches, looks great, but the wood will fall apart in a much shorter time, probably three years.

Tip 5: To build the top, where I have three pairs of rafters, join two rafters together with an 8-inch overlap. Hold two pieces in place to see how long your rafters need to be. Then screw through the two pieces 8 inches from the top. With a helper on one side and you on the other, hold the rafters in place. I like a “tail” that hangs over the top cross piece, anywhere from 8 to 16 inches. Then screw down through the rafter on one side, measure the tail to be the same on the other, and screw it down. I like a nice low “roof angle” for a Japanese look.

This all may sound difficult, but it really isn’t, and it will please you for years to come.

If you build one, please send me a photo.

Depending on your skills, you can build an arbor like this in a day or perhaps a weekend.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE TREASURE HUNT

Less working — More Living

Dear Donna, This bench has been with us for many years. My dad gave it to me in the early 1960s and it was given to him by his boss. I believe it had a cushioned seat at one time.

We are in the process of stripping it and plan to stain it and replace the cushion.

There are no markings on the bench. Can you tell me anything about it?

John from Raymond Dear John, What you have is a settee or, as you can see, a smaller sofa, like today’s loveseats.

Settees were meant for two people to sit on. Yours is from the late 1800s or early 1900s. You are right, it did have a cushion over the springs at one time. The wood looks to be walnut or mahogany. If you look at the top sides you can see the lion heads, and then at the arms it almost looks like the paws — again, a look from the Victorian era to early 1900s.

Even though some were made fully upholstered as well, the most common style is like yours. They also in that time could have had a couple of matching chairs.

Now being stripped down, refinished and reupholstered does change the value. I think if you do the work because you want to use it, and it will be loved, then it’s worth it.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Convertible-loving mom needs a taller car Dear Car Talk: My soon-to-be-80 mom is a lifelong convertible driver. She currently drives a 2005 Chrysler Sebring Convertible with 64,000 miles on it. Over the

By Ray Magliozzi years, the car seems to have gotten lower to the ground, and she’s having difficulty getting into and out of it. For her birthday, I was thinking of replacing her car, and I wanted to get her something a little “taller,” as it were. Of course, it still has to be a convertible — at this stage of the game, she wants what she wants, and she gets what she wants. I looked at a 2016 Buick Cascada, but even the base model comes with all sorts of things she’ll never use, like a navigation system, XM radio, etc. Can you suggest anything that might be a little “simpler” yet still higher off the ground than the Sebring in or around the same price range as the used Cascada? — Rory If she generally likes the Sebring except for the spring-sag, I think you’ve homed in on the right replacement for her in the Cascada. That’s the closest you can get, these days, to the Sebring in terms of design, comfort and handling.

HIPPO | JULY 19 - 25, 2018 | PAGE 26

I mean, you can consider a few others.

VW makes a Beetle Convertible, and Mini makes a Cooper Convertible. But she might not like the way those look. And if she thinks the Sebring is a good-looking car, I’m guessing she’ll turn her nose up at the VW Beetle or Mini. But you can show them to her. Maybe she’ll love one of them.

Audi makes a very nice A3 convertible, but that’s not going to be in the same price range as the Cascada. Neither is the BMW 4 Series convertible.

And if you get her a low, little sports car like the Mazda Miata, you’ll also have to install a winch in her driveway to lift her into and out of it.

So even though the Cascada has technology she might not use, I think that’s probably your best bet, Rory. All cars have new technology now. Some of it (the safety stuff) is wonderful and doesn’t require her to do much to use it — she just has to know what the warning lights or sounds mean.

The rest, she can ignore. If she doesn’t want to listen to satellite radio, then she doesn’t have to subscribe. If she doesn’t want to use the navigation, she can just drive around and get lost, like she does now.

As long as she can get comfortable using the basic functions of the car — starting it,

changing gears, steering, stopping and turning on the windshield wipers — she should be very happy in the Cascada.

Dear Car Talk: I bought a 2009 Honda Accord in 2009, which now has 125,000 original miles on it.

I have never changed the oil or transmission fluid. The car still drives perfectly. What did I do wrong? — Rev. Marvin P.S. What is an original mile?

I can only guess that you have some higher mechanical connection that the rest of us don’t. Because failing to change the oil for 125,000 miles would croak most engines.

The fact that your car is still running perfectly is a testament (no pun intended) to how well Honda designed and built it.

We’ve seen engines whose oil hasn’t been changed for only three or four years, and they’re already toast. The sludge and varnishes on the valve train would make you cross yourself in fear — unless you’re a mechanic with kids in college. Then you’d say grace for what you’re about to receive.

So you can either go for the Guinness Book of World Records and see how long this thing will run without an oil change, or you can rush over to the dealer before it starts blowing blue smoke and trade it in while it’s

still worth something. You can tell the dealer it has original miles and original oil.

The transmission fluid is less of an issue.

In fact, lots of cars now don’t even call for transmission fluid changes; the transmission is sealed at the factory. But the engine oil — even superior synthetic oil — is supposed to be changed every 10,000 to 15,000 miles at most.

To answer your other question, Rev., there are several theories about the term “original miles.” There’s the theory that since odometers used to turn over at 99,999 miles, a car could show 25,000 miles and really have 125,000 on it. So the 25,000 would not be “original miles.” A similar theory says it came from the time when it was much easier for a used-car dealer to roll back the odometer with an electric drill. So it meant “actual miles.”

But my understanding is that the term “original miles” dates back to when engines typically lasted only 50,000 or 75,000 miles before needing to be replaced or rebuilt. So if you had 80,000 “original miles,” that meant the car had its original, un-rebuilt engine in it. Or, in other words, when you saw an ad for a used car that said “80,000 original miles,” you knew you’d be due for a rebuild on the way home after you bought it.

Experienced barbecue grillers, amateur cooks and tasters are all welcome at the 13th annual Brookline Tailgate & Barbecue/Grilling Cook-Off, a friendly two-day barbecuing competition.

The event, which returns to Brookline Ball Park on Saturday, July 21, and Sunday, July 22, features one competition each day — a four-category barbecue and grilling contest on Saturday, and a two-category tailgate barbecue contest on Sunday — plus a “Junior-Q” competition for kids, People’s Choice judging, horseshoe and cornhole tournaments, a barbecue chicken dinner and more.

It’s presented by the Brookline Fire Department Association in partnership with the Northeast Barbecue Society.

Sheryl Corey, president of the Brookline Fire Department Association, said both competitions are open to professional and amateur grillers. Categories for Saturday’s competition include pizza, beef, shrimp and dessert, while Sunday’s categories are chicken wings and pork ribs.

“It’s great for anyone who just loves to do backyard grilling and smoking and may want to try their hand at a competition to come out,” Corey said. “Then some may even go on to the bigger events from there.

We’ve had several teams that start here and go on to bigger competitions, for sure.”

Teams must provide their own meats, seasonings, sauces, and other ingredients and tools necessary to cook and serve their entrees. All types of fuel sources, such as charcoal, wood, propane and electricity, are permitted. Each participant receives a cooking site about 20 feet long by 20 feet wide and cannot exceed that space.

All food must be cooked on site (no preseasoning or pre-marinating prior to the competitions), with the exception of pizza dough, sauces and toppings. For each category, a panel of six NEBS-certified judges will score each dish based on taste, tenderness and appearance.

“They have to follow all of the [NEBS] rules and regulations, which are provided in the rule packet when they sign up,” Corey said.

Also happening on Sunday from noon to 2:30 p.m., barbecue lovers can pay an entry fee of $5 to participate in the People’s Choice Contest. Each admission fee includes five samples per person to taste, with the opportunity to cast votes on your favorite chicken wings entry.

Cash prizes are awarded to the first-,

second- and third-place winners, while fourth- and fifth-place winners are awarded commemorative medallions, according to Corey.

Other staples of the weekend will include hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages and pulled pork sandwiches for sale during both days from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., plus a chicken barbecue dinner on Saturday from 5:30 to 7

p.m. and a community breakfast on Sunday from 8 to 11 a.m., featuring items like all-you-can-eat pancakes, bacon, sausage, coffee, milk and juice. Tickets are required for both the dinner and the breakfast.

Corey said a portion of the proceeds collected throughout the weekend benefits the Brookline Fire Department, while the rest goes to the Northeast Barbecue Society.

A new eatery coming to Bedford this month is celebrating the historical landmarks and figures of the town through its rustic atmosphere and menu offerings, which will include wood-fired brick-oven pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, appetizers and an extensive lineup of craft brews.

The 1750 Taphouse — its name a reference to the year Bedford was established as a town — is on track for a July opening in the former space of Restaurant Tek-Nique on Route 101.

“The concept is … a place where you can come in and have a pizza and a beer, and it’s not going to break the bank. The food is made from scratch in house, and there’s nothing over 20 dollars,” restaurant manager Tracy Smith said. “We’re doing breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays, too.”

Since early April, crews from local organizations like Threshold Building and Remodeling and Impeccable Nest Interior Design have been giving the restaurant’s interior a makeover that has included the addition of a larger bar with 20 draft lines, plus additional seating and a brick oven that will cook up to 260 pizzas in an hour.

The Bedford Historical Society has also contributed enlarged versions of historical photos and maps that are placed across many of the walls.

Chef Zach Thayer said the menu will feature about a half-dozen specially designed pizzas, as well as a build-your-own pizza section available. Other staples will include burgers, sandwiches, fried options, salads, appetizers, chilis and chowders.

“The burgers are [named after] landmarks in Bedford. We’ve got the Uncanoonuc, the Schoolhouse, the No. 7 … and then for our sandwiches, it’s actually for the history of how Bedford got named,” Thayer said. “We looked for a way to keep the concept based around … the community of Bedford.”

Breakfast menu items, Thayer said, will include healthy options like fresh fruit, Greek yogurt parfaits with granola, and toast with an avocado spread.

For the drink menu, Smith said there will be a small selection of wines and craft cocktails, but a much larger focus on local beers, plus a collection of high-end scotches, bourbons and whiskeys.

“We have Coors Light in bottles and Sam Adams on the beer list, and we’ll have Bud Light and Guinness on tap, but then everything else is going to be local,” she said, adding that brews from several New Hampshire breweries such as Lithermans Limited in Concord, Able Ebenezer Brewing Co. in Merrimack, Kelsen Brewing Co. in Derry and Great North Aleworks in Manchester will be available. “We’ve got everything from IPAs to double IPAs and New England style IPAs, and then some sours, lagers and pilsners. … We’ve really fine-tuned it, so that we have something for everybody, as far as tastes for beer.”

The eatery seats about 86, including the bar, and will also include additional outdoor patio seating.

The 1750 Taphouse is looking to become an active member in the Bedford community, Smith said, working with local organizations to organize pub runs and sponsoring school sports teams.

Owner and Bedford resident Louis Rylant, who also owns the Sea Basket seafood restaurant in Wiscasset, Maine, said he’s hoping to start the process of opening a second Bedford restaurant before the end of this year.

1750 Taphouse An opening date is expected in the coming weeks. Visit the Facebook page or call for updates.

Where: 170 Route 101, Bedford Anticipated hours: Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Friday, 11 a.m. to midnight; Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to midnight; and Sunday, 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

WITH PAUL ANTOSH

Paul Antosh of Derry took over ownership of Beyond Vanilla Ice Cream (16 Main St., Hampstead, 3295800, find them on Facebook) in 2016. He specializes in his own homemade ice cream, making up to about 55 different flavors that are rotated year-round based on the season. In addition to hard ice cream, soft-serve and vegan and sugar-free options, Beyond Vanilla Ice Cream offers frappes, flurries and specialty sundaes — his signature, he said, is a brownie sundae made from scratch with melted chocolate.

There are more traditional flavors of ice cream like chocolate chip, strawberry, and mint chip, or you can go down a more creative route, ordering flavors like Wild NH Black Bear (vanilla ice cream with raspberry filled truffle cups and swirls of raspberry) or Speculoos (cookie butter ice cream swirled with brown cinnamon spiced sugar). Antosh also likes to experiment with alcohol-infused ice cream, offering made-from-scratch flavors like Bourbon Chocolate. Although his prior background was in the technology industry, he has always enjoyed cooking and creating homemade recipes.

FOOD

perishables Tasty food from fresh ingredients

Radishes Radishes are completely underrated.

With the exception of Peter Rabbit stories, where the protagonist is constantly stealing them from Mr. McGregor’s garden, radishes seem to get no airtime. Radishes are a root vegetable, like a carrot, but are part of the same family as broccoli and cabbage.

Like their family members, they prefer cooler climates in which to grow. They’re a great early spring vegetable to plant alongside your greens and broccoli!

Unsurprisingly, radishes are very good for you. In case you hadn’t heard, vegetables are pretty amazing for our bodies.

Seriously, in a perfect world, we should be eating mostly vegetables. Not only would our bodies be healthier but also our footprint on the earth would be gentler.

Win-win. According to Self magazine’s website, radishes contain riboflavin, B6, calcium, magnesium, copper and manganese. They’re also wonderfully fibrous so are filling additions to any meal and can stand strongly on their own.

121901

Now Partnering with For today’s column, I wanted to give you several ideas for how to incorporate this vegetable into your life. Perhaps it can become a stronger presence in our diets, adding more color and more nutrients along its way.

Don’t count radishes out. Your body will benefit from eating a variety of plant species on a regular basis. There are so many ways to bring nutrition into our systems and we have to not get stuck in a rut!

The Corkcicle is a great summertime accessory if you are enjoying white or sparkling wines. You chill it in the freezer, and then put it down into the opened bottle. I believe they also make these with a spout on top so you can pour while it is right in the bottle.

If you’re bringing wine to a summer gathering and it doesn’t have a screw top, it’s always a good idea to pack a wine opener. This may sound silly, but some people don’t have them at the ready like the rest of us. I keep extra wine openers on hand that I get at tastings or festivals, just in case I forget to bring it home.

I like to enjoy it chilled, straight out of the fridge. But there are times when I am not enjoying wine at home and instead am enjoying it with friends or family at an outdoor picnic. For those outings, there are a few accessories I like to take along to keep my wine cold.

White wine

Though I like to plan for things, there are always unexpected gatherings or events that pop up during the summer. I like to keep a bottle or two of white wine (pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, etc.) on hand this time of year. Keep one in the wine rack and one in the fridge in case you go somewhere or have friends or family over.

What I’m drinking

I recently picked up a bottle of Two Princes 2015 Riesling from Germany. If you like sweet rieslings, this isn’t the wine for you. This one is much more balanced.

What I really like about this wine is that it has just enough fruitiness and sweetness without one of those qualities overpowering the others. I get apricot and apple flavors and some slight sweetness on the finish, followed by pleasant acidity. This is a great summer wine, so pick up a bottle at one of the New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets.

To let us know about

Before everyone starts asking “where the heck did this Led Zeppelin guy come from,” first, he started out as a Prince/roots-blues guy. It goes back even further, of course, when our subject, Xavier Dphrepaulezz, would sneak into music classes at UC Berkeley. That shows dedication, certainly, or at least a willingness to think outside the box as much as is necessary to escape the daily grind. Anyway, he released one Princenicking album under his real name on a crummy Interscope contract, then became Negrito and launched his mission of smuggling roots stuff like spirituals into his blues, which led to 2016’s The Last Days of Oakland and a Grammy win. That takes us to now, when Negrito is poised to make us forget all the Zepcloning Greta Van Fleets of the world (like you already haven’t) and combine rhythmic, hard-ass rock with what Zep is supposed to be, rock with curveball influences. “The Duffler” is a nasty bit of ghetto-taunting with a guitar line that could have been a Physical Graffiti spare track, but “Transgender Biscuits” is more to the point, a hybrid of Lead Belly and Jay-Z. This is sick. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

The title sentiment has always been a constant with this British pair, who pioneered ambient techno, became IDM’s (Intelligent Dance Music) great white hope, and played under their ability just enough to avoid being lumped in with the trance and euro-house jumpand-twist-knobs crowd. Like everyone else, though, they’re older now, and I can’t begrudge them for tabling an obvious single like album opener “The End Of The End,” which has an actual hot-chick guest vocal feat (from Emma Gillespie). But from there it’s back to their usual eerie business, upon “I Wish I Had A Pretty Dog,” its slow one-drop beat the only constant in a shifting fog of pseudo-goth. And then we come to the “What goes on in these guys’ heads anyway” part, with brittle haunted-house noise leading into an inarguably pretty, Miss Kittin-ish dance track led by Hollie Cook, occasionally interrupted, naturally, by an alien-abductee (or Billie Holiday) babbling things over sci-fi effectage. Earbuds were invented for this. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • Good lord, look how fast the summer’s going by. Can you even stand it? Like, now we’re talking about the albums that are scheduled for July 20, and I don’t even have a sunburn yet, what a ripoff.

But now I need to discuss Lori McKenna, the folk singing lady from Stoughton, Mass., whose songs have been covered by Faith Hill and assorted other nobodies. Her 11th album, The Tree, includes the single “People Get Old,” a strummy hit of countrified soccer-mom wholesomeness about kids eating cereal and time passing in a whirlwind of wonderfulness. It’s all making me melt, all this Brady Bunch-ness, so I must leave this blurb immediately and look for something that sounds like monsters, skeletons and doom.

• Look, it’s Semblance, the fourth album from Brooklyn electronica people Forma, coming to your record stores and MySpace pirate blogs or whatever. I’ve never heard of these guys, but if they’re from Brooklyn, there’s a War and Peace-length review on Pitchfork — yup, there it is. Ha ha, the guy is taking like 90 words to say “kraut-rock.” Someday I’m going to do a Pitchfork-style review as a gift to you, so that you can fall asleep to the rock music talk. OK, let’s go listen to this band, which has “a vested interest in the early electronic thrummings coming out of Germany in the late ’70s and early ’80s, as some of their own equipment dates back to around that time.” (Yes, they really wrote that, instead of kraut-rock. You’re welcome.) Here’s a Soundcloud thingy, or something else with an orange progress bar that will be going the way of the Commodore 64 any day now. The song is “Three-two.” Yes, it’s Kraftrock, or krautwerk or whatever, watch your step everyone, let’s get away from this preDevo nonsense post haste.

• Ah, here’s a band called The Internet, with their new album, Hive Mind. They are a trip-hop band from Los Angeles, and some of them used to be in the band Odd Future, which, if I recall correctly, means they’re somewhat awesome. Not super-awesome, but awesome. Here’s a single, called “Come Over,” a chill-soul deal that sounds like TLC, from the 1990s. What, you thought that stuff was over? Better prepare yourself for like 2 billion Jodeci clones, not that that wouldn’t be an improvement.

• Czech keytar dude Jan Hammer, also known as “Not Rick Wakeman,” forks over a new album, Seasons Pt. 1, on July 20! There are no advance listenings, so all I can guess is that it may sound like an updated version of all the stuff he wrote for Miami Vice. What’s that? No, I mean the ’80s TV show, not the stupid movie. What? No, I have no idea why they made a movie, nor do I know why they made a CHiPs movie. I assume it’s because Hollywood ran out of ideas in 1990. — Eric W. Saeger

The Last Lobster, by Christopher White (St. Martin’s Press, 233 pages) Vegans, beware The Last Lobster. The book masquerades as a mild-mannered examination of the effects of climate change on Maine’s most prolific industry, but anyone perched on the extreme edge of animal rights will see it as suffer porn, with its dispassionate details of how lobsters get from ocean to table.

For omnivores, Christopher White’s new book is an interesting, if sometimes tedious, look at what’s happening on the floor of the Atlantic as water temperatures slowly climb.

The Gulf of Maine, which stretches from Cape Cod to Cape Sable Island (also known as the lobster capital of Canada), is warming by an average of one degree every two years, according to White. This may not be significant to anyone who tries to swim in it in June, but some scientists believe that it’s enough to cause a creeping northward migration of some types of marine life. This includes blue crabs, cod and lobsters, which cannot survive in water over 70 degrees.

“The whole species profile of the North Atlantic is changing, and with it the ecosystem,” writes White, a Princeton-educated biologist and author of three other books, including one on the oyster industry.

But don’t cry for the lobster, or the lobsterman — not yet. In fact, the lobster industry is booming, which makes much of White’s detail-rich narrative seem like overwrought hand-wringing. The lobstermen whom White befriends have harvested record amounts of lobster in recent years, so much so that teenagers have made $60,000 in a summer, and boat captains more than $200,000 a year.

This is because there’s recently been a veritable glut of lobsters, yielding more than 120 million pounds of lobster in each of the past five years. This is six times the amount of lobster harvested in the 1980s, at least in Maine.

It’s a different story in Connecticut and northern Long Island, where lobster used to be abundant but by 2013 had shrunk to 3 percent of what it used to be.

In Maine, however, the good times are rolling. Lobstermen are buying bigger houses and bigger boats, leading White and others to worry about what’s going to happen if the Gulf of Maine keeps getting warmer and the lobsters scuttle even farther north.

For now, though, it’s estimated that there are about 250 million lobsters in the Gulf of Maine, five times the number two decades ago. It’s believed that the lobsters are multiplying like rabbits because the warming water is doing two things: reducing the number of predators, and disrupting the natural reproductive cycle of lobsters.

Just as hot temperatures cause humans to shed their clothes, warm water induces molt-

ing in lobsters, White explains.

Instead of shedding its exoskeleton once over the summer, a lobster will molt twice when the water is warmer, and lobsters will mature faster and mate more readily. (Consult pages 67 and 68 for a primer on lobster sex.)

Hence, the lobster boom.

The book, however, is not so much a celebration as it is a cautionary tale, with White solemnly pointing to the Lobsterless Summer Yet To Come. There will be foreclosures, he warns. There will be unemployment. There will be armed conflict between competing lobstermen from Maine and Canada. “This is a ticking suitcase out there,” White quotes a Maine lobsterman as saying. “It’s just a matter of months before someone gets killed.”

Hyperbole happens, but it’s clear that the men and women who trade in lobsters are obsessives with the intensity of Captain Ahab.

Even in the water off Stonington, Maine, a town in which three-quarters of the citizens owe their livelihood to lobsters, boat captains have established territories which newcomers invade at their peril. Throw a trap into someone else’s water, and it will be vandalized.

When such territorialism involves nation’s borders, things will get ugly, and when the lobsters leave the coast of Maine, the state’s treasured culture will collapse, White warns.

Predictably, there is a solution, bringing up the rear in this paragraph on the infighting between Canada and Maine: “The great irony is that lobsters do not observe international boundaries. They are on the move between the Gray Zone and beyond. No treaty or trap cutting or gunfire can stop them. Just a ban on fossil fuels.”

White acknowledges that Maine’s lobstermen do not all buy into the business of climate change; he records two boat captains having a terse exchange over the subject “like two bulls in a ring.” But although White clearly believes we’re witnessing a calamity unfold in real time, his story is not overtly political and is largely an engrossing look at a way of life that’s more Melville than Zuckerberg.

New research on how crustaceans process pain has led some countries, including Sweden and New Zealand, to make it illegal to boil lobsters alive. But these are headlines not welcome on the coast of Maine, and White’s access to lobster boats would have been abruptly cut off had he mentioned them.

Subtitled “Boom or Bust for Maine’s Greatest Fishery?,” The Last Lobster poses the question but doesn’t answer it, which makes its conclusion vaguely unsatisfying, as does a low-grade hysteria that seems a bit premature. However, its depiction of interesting lives, both human and crustacean, makes for an interesting read, so long as the reader is not overly stressed by what occurs at a lobster bake.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Skyscraper (PG-13)

Dwayne Johnson doesn’t exactly fight a giant building but close enough in Skyscraper, a completely ephemeral but mildly fun action movie.

Will Sawyer (Johnson), a former FBI commando-style hostage negotiator, is now a family man running a small security firm that is on the verge of big success.

His fellow former FBI buddy, Ben (Pablo Schreiber), has helped him get a gig doing security for Zhao Long Ji (Chin Han), whose new building in Hong Kong, The Pearl, will be the tallest skyscraper ever. To seal the deal and finalize his security audit, Will and his family have come to stay at the Pearl. Wife Sarah (Neve Campbell) is a former Naval surgeon — in other words, she, like Will, is also a trained badass and she speaks Chinese because of course she does. While Will works, she’s playing tourist with their kids: daughter Georgia (McKenna Roberts) and younger son Henry (Noah Cottrell), who has asthma because the younger kid in these movies always has asthma.

Because this is why we’re all here, Will’s family is quickly trapped in the otherwise mostly unoccupied upper floors of the building when a fire is set roughly in the middle of this roughly 200-floor building. The fire is meant to trap Ji for reasons

Skyscraper

that feel kind of shaky but whatever, just go with it, and the central baddie is a dude named Kores Botha (Roland Møller), who is muscle-for-hire for even badder dudes we never meet.

Will is a few blocks away when they become trapped and has to fight Botha’s henchmen to get to the building and then figure out how to work his way up, past the fire line, to his family. Sarah, meanwhile, has to figure out how to keep Henry from having an asthma attack and get her kids out of the building without getting captured by the people whom she doesn’t know are bad guys but quickly figures out are bad

guys because she knows what kind of movie she is in.

Skyscraper asks absolutely nothing from you. It does not even need you to remember basic biographical details about the characters because the movie repeats them a few times. We aren’t ever really left in suspense about whether that guy’s going to turn out to be bad (Does he make sneaky facial expressions? Then he is!) or whether the understanding police officer Inspector Wu (Byron Mann) will be on Will’s side (he perfectly guesses and then helpfully narrates Will’s motivations, in case you were in the bathroom and missed it). Everything is exactly as it appears and pretty much

everything I thought was going to happen happened in the way I thought it would.

And that’s fine! “Do you want to see The Rock fight some dudes and scale a building?” the movie’s trailer and posters seem to ask you. The movie delivers that, exactly that, nothing more but nothing really less either. By the end of the month (if that long), the movie will have completely erased itself from my memory, but while I was watching it I was moderately entertained. Was my entertainment level equal to the cost of two movie tickets plus popcorn and drinks and maybe the price of a babysitter for three hours? No. I don’t recommend emptying your wallet for this. From the are-you-afraid-of-heights CGI to Johnson’s very straightforward (not winky but not overly earnest either) performance, there is absolutely nothing new here.

But it’s hard to completely dismiss a movie this exactly-as-promised either. Sometimes you just want a pleasant roller coaster ride in an air conditioned theater for a few hours.

Skyscraper, with its appealing lead and his ability to make even predictable action watchable, delivers on that very specific promise. C+ Rated PG-13 for sequences of gun violence and action and for brief strong language, according to the MPAA. Written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, Skyscraper is an hour and 42 minutes long and distributed by Universal Pictures.

Patty Griffin brings new outlook (and music) to Concord

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

• Dynamic duo: When they’re not making music together, Mystical Magic – the duo of Ted Solovicos and Rosemarie Rose – are behind another microphone, doing a radio show on Nashua’s WSMN 1590 (soon to be 95.3 FM). Every Saturday night, Real Rock Classics offers songs with backstories, like what’s behind Merry Clayton’s intense backing vocal on the Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter.” Go Friday, July 20, 8 p.m., Holy Grail, 64 Main St., Epping. See m.me/ mysticalmagicmusic.

• Funny man: Boston comedy legend Lenny Clarke hosted open mike at Cambridge’s Ding Ho Restaurant in the early 1980s, a time when the scene was booming – captured perfectly in the documentary When Standup Stood Out. Clarke appears with fellow Bostonian Jack Walsh and Granite State funny man Mike Koutrobis, for a night of laughs Saturday, July 21, 7:30 p.m., Amherst Country Club, 72 Ponemah Road, Amherst. Tickets are $25 at laughnewengland.com.

• Charity Jam: Following a bike run fundraiser, the weekly blues session at Village Trestle becomes the 6th Annual Payin’ It Forward Payin’ It Back Charity Jam, a benefit for DartmouthHitchcock Oncology. As usual, Slutty Pete and Chris Noyes lead the music, with help from Mama Kicks mates Gardner Berry and David Stefanelli, guitarist Angelo Mullen and harmonica player Harpo. Sunday, July 22, 3 p.m., Village Trestle, 25 Main St., Goffstown. See villagetrestle. com.

On her current tour, Patty Griffin is scaling back, playing acoustically with longtime accompanist David Pulkingham. The performing configuration reflects where the singer-songwriter is at artistically, as she works on a new studio album — her first since 2015’s Servant of Love.

“It’s pretty stripped down,” Griffin said in a recent phone interview.

She said fans can expect a preview at her upcoming Concord show — though she won’t pull a Neil Young and leave out her much-loved songs.

“I don’t like playing the old stuff sometimes,” she said. “I’d really rather sit down and play an entire set of all new material.

I’ve done that once, and it really pissed off somebody that I was working with. I got that out of my system; it was risky business.”

Her current songwriting is informed by what Griffin termed “some very difficult health issues” as she entered her 50s. She’s “doing really well now” — but illness and recovery “reset my life completely” — leaving her a clean slate musically.

“It really was a life-altering moment,” she said. “I feel a little bit like I’m coming out of the ashes now... in that time I think some of the old references completely burned out of me, so I’m literally starting from scratch in some ways. And that’s a really nice place to be. It’s not an easy place, but it feels really good to be there, and that’s more of the state of the mood that the music reflects coming up than anything else.”

Due for release next year, the as yet untitled album will include Griffin’s former band mate (and significant other) Robert Plant on some vocals, according to a recent interview with the ex-Zeppelin singer. Apart from that, anything could happen.

“I’m in a different time in my life, I don’t have to worry about what’s going to get on the radio at all,” Griffin said. “Even though I’ve haven’t ever really been a pop artist, there’s a certain expectation when you have a record deal of things — several little restrictions. … I think that this period of time in my life leaves me out of that, and I feel like I can really open my ears up to other ways of doing things that I sort of maybe didn’t connect to before or just kind of never thought of as something that could influence me in a direct way. I’m really enjoying this time, it feels pretty good.”

Opening her July 22 show is Anais Mitchell, a singer-songwriter who did a brief run of trio shows with Griffin and Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek, I’m With Her) in 2016.

Mitchell’s folk opera, Hadestown, will open on Broadway in 2019. Though released in 2010, one of its songs, “Why We Build the Wall,” became something of an anthem for the pro-immigrant movement during the election season — and beyond.

As a resident of Austin, Texas, the issue is an important one for Griffin.

“I have had thoughts of what it was like for people living in Germany in the ’30s, to be close by to these atrocities and not exactly know what to do,” she said. “We’ve had a situation in Texas going on for years, starting with the first kids that came up from El Salvador and were housed in these private facilities. A couple of these girls were raped in the prison holding them and some were sent back to El Salvador and killed. This ... has been going on a long time.”

Griffin has done several benefit concerts to raise awareness of the issue, which has become starker lately, as images of children in government detention facilities began appearing in news reports.

hard not to be completely downhearted,” she said. “We have to proactively figure out as a people how to fix this ... go inside ourselves and then reach out to each other in our communities and fix these problems.

Griffin once cited writer and activist James Baldwin’s statement that however bad things got, one can never tell the children there is no hope. “I have a couple of pictures of him in my house prominently displayed and I really believe that,” she said. “It takes a lot of guts to be alive, and I think especially right now it’s a little more true. You gotta keep going.”

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Karma

Walt Dean King, 69, just wanted to take a look at a used car for sale on July 4. But when he approached the vehicle in the small California town of Tracy, about 60 miles east of San Francisco, he was suddenly knocked off his feet by a bull that had gotten loose. King felt the bull’s horn go through his side and crawled between a bush and a house as the bull stood over him snorting for about 20 minutes.

FOX40 reported that King underwent three hours of surgery, after which doctors told him his belly fat had saved him from worse injury. King believes karma kept him alive: “Back in the ‘70s, I had pulled a lady out of a burning building, so now I think I’m being paid back, by not dying,” King said.

Too much time

• Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who have made their fortunes in tech-related fields have discovered a spiritually enriching new guru, Jess Magic, a ukulele player and singer who calls herself a “heartist.” At Magic’s intimate, invitation-only “Soul Salons” (and now on a 10-city national tour), participants share their energy and join in “songversations” — philosophical rap and improvised music and dance — a process Magic calls “a play date for your inner child.” Andrew Hewitt, creator of Game Changers 500, explains: “For people who live most of the time in their head, this feels like magic.” The New York Times reported that Magic believes her appeal is in response to the spiritual hollowness wealthy executives feel. “People forget that they are human beings rather than human doings,” she said.

• Patriotism inspired Rain Wiggand, 22, and Zane Liles, 21, of Collins, Ohio, to construct an American flag using more than 2,000 Budweiser, Bud Light and Miller Lite beer cans. Wiggand posted pictures of the “beer flag” on Twitter on July 4. “It was a rough month of work for Zane and I,” Wiggand confessed, adding that they “averaged somewhere around 14 beers a night for 28 days straight.”

Six other friends helped, he said, but they only drank on Thursdays to Sundays. Liles told BuzzFeed News, “It was a monthlong hangover that nothing could cure.” However, he said the project had not ruined beer for him. “I can still drink beer with the best of them.”

Cultural diversity

120837

In Ghana, the reaction of mourners at a funeral is a measure of the deceased’s position in the community. But for family members who are unable to express their emotions openly, professional mourn-

ers will cry on their behalf. A leader of one team of criers told BBC Africa in July that they charge based on the size of the funeral, and the Kumasi Funeral Criers Association offers different styles of crying, such as crying with swagg, crying and rolling on the ground, and crying and vomiting. Ghanian funerals also feature dancing pallbearers and giant billboards to announce the funeral arrangements.

It’s a compulsion

In 1985, Tosya Garibyan of Arinj, in Armenia, asked her husband, Levon Arkelian, 44, to dig a pit under their home where she could store potatoes. But once he got started, Radio Free Europe reported, he just couldn’t stop. Twentythree years later, the underground oasis Arkelian created is a tourist attraction.

Working as many as 18 hours a day with only a hammer and chisel, Arkelian created seven rooms, stairwells and passages running as deep as 65 feet and adorned them with carvings and decorations made from found objects. Arkelian passed away in 2008, and his widow welcomes tourists to her museum, which includes his shredded work boots and tools. But she says the couple argued about the project. “He ruined his health because of this hole,” she told RFE.

Wait, what?

Brigadier Gen. Gholam Reza Jalali, the head of Iran’s Civil Defense Organization, announced in a press conference on July 2 that Israel is manipulating the weather over Iran to prevent rain. “Isra-

el and another country in the region have joint teams which work to ensure clouds entering Iranian skies are unable to release rain,” Jalali posited, according to YNet News. “On top of that, we are facing the issue of cloud and snow theft.” However, the head of Iran’s meteorological service was skeptical: “It is not possible for a country to steal snow or clouds. Iran has suffered a prolonged drought, and this is a global trend that does not apply only to Iran.”

Weird science

If summer’s heat is making you anxious about body odor, you might want to investigate a helpful gadget launched on July 1 by Japanese health tech company Tanita: the ES-100, an odor-sensing device that will detect body odor or too much perfume or cologne. IT Media reported that the user simply points the sensor toward the underarm area (or other problematic spots), and in 10 seconds a numerical score will appear on the LED display. If you’re a 10 ... you’re not a 10.

Compelling explanations

In Madison, Wisconsin, an unidentified 19-year-old driver flipped his car after overcorrecting in traffic on July 3.

The Wisconsin State Journal reported that the man left the scene and removed some clothing, then pretended to be a jogger who happened by when police questioned him. Police said he was not impaired; he was later charged with leaving a crash scene and driving without a license.
