GRANITE VIEWS ALLYSON RYDER

Looking beyond the landscape

Living on the seacoast, I’ve taken advantage of the landscape and been active in running or cycling. If not at the ocean, we are just a few short hours away, hiking one of New Hampshire’s 48 4,000foot peaks. Recently we’ve noticed that the demographics we see partaking in these activities are lacking diversity. This makes me wonder about access to other systems that many of us take for granted.

Mother Nature has laid out a beautiful landscape for us, but there are parts of our state that do not make it attractive to all. On my commute up Route 16 I see how many disparities exist from one community to the next. A shocking revelation for such a small state.

The mountains and the sea are gorgeous, and access to fine dining and entertainment is fantastic, but what is the vision for our state? Does it help to bridge the gaps or further divide us? Can our elected officials answer this question?

I believe the backbone to success is through access to quality public education, a strong health care system, housing designed to meet the needs of all, and jobs that pay livable wages. All too often we are losing out on attracting new people or retaining professionals because of one or more of these factors.

If we are looking to retain young professionals, shouldn’t we be looking at things like our higher education costs? According to research in the “What is New Hampshire?” publication, in 2015, New Hampshire ranked last in state support for higher education relative to personal state income by nearly one third of the national average. This means, nationally, we have the highest in-state tuition and fees of any fouryear public higher education institution.

In a few short months we will be voting in the 2018 midterm elections, and it’s our responsibility to vet the candidates. We have an accessible democracy and, especially in our great state, the opportunity to ask the hard questions. Take advantage of the many chances to do so in the coming months, and use this knowledge to vote, both in the Sept. 11 primary and again on Election Day on Nov. 6 Often, when I am working through the mental anguish of trying to tackle the rocky slips of our state’s highest peaks, I try to remind myself of the good fortune I have to call New Hampshire home. I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that many do not feel the same benefits. We can make this a great state for all through accountability, collaboration and action.

NEWS & NOTES

Sales tax task force

A joint legislative task force met last week to draft a response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, according to a news release. The court ruled that states with sales taxes can require online retailers to collect taxes on purchases made by consumers in their state, even businesses based in sales-tax-free states like New Hampshire. State legislators and officials met on July 17, July 18 and July 19, and the legislature was scheduled to hold a special session on Wednesday, July 25, after press time. In a statement, Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) said the legislation developed by the task force will “create a multi-step process through the Attorney General’s office where out-of-state taxing entities would need to register with the state” and “the Attorney General [will] determine if out-of-state taxing entities have met the laws of our state and will be able to take legal action, if necessary.” Gov. Chris Sununu commended the task force, releasing a statement, saying, “This proposal is a critical first step in what will be an ongoing effort, and I urge the full House and Senate to pass this bill when they meet in Special Session.” However, in an editorial published by New Hampshire Business Review, Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky (D-Concord) said “it is disingenuous to lead New Hampshire businesses to believe that our state can prevent other states from enforcing their tax laws. … Businesses that rely on hastily enacted legislation may find themselves subjected to fines and interest for not timely remitting sales taxes.”

care providers, community leaders and health insurers in combating the opioid crisis, as well as New Hampshire’s integration of Medicaid managed care. The group plans to meet again to discuss ways to share resources and improve health care access and affordability.

Startup program

The Live Free and Start program will now be overseen by the New Hampshire High Tech Council in Manchester, according to New Hampshire Business Review. The program was launched in 2014 to provides local startups with resources and connections to build their businesses. It was created as a joint initiative between the Governor’s Office, the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority and the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development (now the New Hampshire Department of Business and Economic Affairs). The program was established by Liz Gray, who left her role this month to take over as the new state director of the Small Business Development Center at UNH.

the Carsey School of Public Policy at UNH will continue producing the center’s annual “What Is New Hampshire?” study on the state’s issues and public policy debates.

The Center will provide Carsey with all its data and research and contribute its remaining financial resources, which is approximately $35,000.

Sens. Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen announced that the state will receive a $2.5 million grant to expand and develop an additional 4.6 acres of the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen. The money will also fund needed repairs.

Though not the first New Hampshire municipality to adopt a renewable energy plan, Concord has become the largest city in the state to commit to new energy resources.

The capital’s city council voted unanimously in early July to approve a citywide goal of transitioning to renewable energy sources within the next few decades.

The resolution proposes that 100 percent of electricity used in Concord comes from renewable energy sources by 2030, including wind, solar, geothermal, wave and tidal technology sources. By 2050, the resolution calls for renewable energy to be used for 100 percent of Concord’s heating, cooling and transportation needs.

According to the Sierra Club, Concord is the fourth New Hampshire municipality to adopt a 100-percent renewable energy goal, following similar resolutions passed in Cornish, Hanover and Plainfield.

“We thought that as the state’s capital city, we had a special responsibility to be a leader in solving the challenge of climate change,” said Robert Werner, a Concord city councilor and chair of the council’s Energy and Environment Committee.

The process of drafting the resolution began in October, when Werner and other members of the committee began drafting preliminary goals and meeting with members of the local community. Though an initial draft went up for a council vote in May, discussions with business leaders raised concerns over some perceived mandates in the resolution.

“We were initially concerned about the original proclamation, because it was worded in such a way that seemed to be setting up very specific mandates and creating hard and fast city policy,” said Timothy Sink, Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce president. “In between the first and second council meetings [in May and July], we had the opportunity to sit down with city council to recommend changes to give the city flexibility.”

Sink said the current resolution will help make Concord an attractive place for new business and talented workers due to opportunities in new energy technology. However, he noted that the plan’s aspirational tone allows the city to take longer to implement these goals to ensure economic feasibility.

This is directly tied to the trending cost of clean energy. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s annual technology baseline report from 2017, renewable energy costs are projected to decline over the

next several decades. The report forecasts that onshore wind costs will fall from $39/MWh in 2020 to $28/MWh in 2050, while solar utility costs will likely also drop from $51/MWh in 2020 to $37/MWh in 2050. Meanwhile, the study suggests that electricity from natural gas, coal and nuclear energy will either stagnate or increase slightly in this time frame.

“We think our goals are ambitious but achievable, particularly because of the way technology and the market is leading us in terms of demand for renewable energy,” said Werner. “All the projections from private sector analysts predict the costs of renewable energy will continue becoming competitive with traditional energy sources. The cost structure of renewable energy is really going to make it the most attractive option in terms of price and sustainability.”

Full steam ahead?

Despite the trends, Sink said the Chamber and local business leaders wanted safeguards in case prices don’t continue to decline. He pointed to Concord Steam Corporation as an example of why preemptive planning is important. After years of financial struggles and facility issues, Concord Steam shuttered in May 2017, cutting off a main source of heat for downtown Concord. Sink said these customers had about 12 months to convert.

“Having been through that, we wanted to make sure we didn’t put people in that same position moving forward,” said Sink. “We hope this will be market-driven, and that costs will continue to decline and make this direction [toward renewable energy] a no-brainer.”

Careful planning

Werner stressed that the resolution is not a mandate, adding that what’s most important is the city communicating its intent to work toward adopting renewable energy policies.

The city council’s Energy and Environment Committee will work with the city’s administration over the next several months to establish more concrete details.

This will include expanded zoning codes, which have already been updated with some language related to solar developments, according to Werner. The city will also look at realistic annual milestones and potential renewable energy sources both in and outside of Concord. According to Werner, cities and towns in New Hampshire could potentially purchase electricity from proposed wind farm developments in the Gulf of Maine.

“We think ... these aspirational goals are important in terms of setting the stage and encouraging people to move in this direction,” Werner said. “Private-sector activity in this market will be a great aid over the next several decades to achieving these goals.”

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX

Detecting sepsis

An international group of researchers, including Matthew S. Hayden from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, released a report on a simple blood test that may help identify patients at risk of dying from sepsis. The potentially life-threatening condition occurs when the body’s response to an infection causes inflammation, which can damage multiple organ systems.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The blood test being reviewed by researchers may be able to detect sepsis by identifying higher levels of genes called “microRNAs,” according to a news release from Dartmouth-Hitchcock. The number of sepsis cases per year has been on the rise in the U.S.

Farm-fresh food

Since 2017, the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Hampshire in Concord has provided low-income New Hampshire residents with over 25,000 pounds of farm-fresh food, according to a news release. The initiative is part of the New Hampshire Gleans program, which has provided over 165,000 pounds total to lowincome residents in the state.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: New Hampshire Gleans is a network of organizations that aims to increase the availability of local produce distributed to food pantries, soup kitchens and schools throughout New Hampshire. Program partners collect and donate food from farms and farmers markets that would otherwise go undistributed or unsold.

Historic employment

New Hampshire had 735,730 employed residents in June, according to seasonally adjusted estimates from New Hampshire Employment Security. In a statement, Gov. Chris Sununu announced that this is the highest number of employed New Hampshire residents in the state’s history.

With the trade deadline a few days away the Red Sox are looking to fill their needs, which are (1) a guy who can get through the eighth inning without giving Alex Cora and Red Sox Nation a heart attack, which both Joe Kelly and Matt Barnes seem unable to do, and (2) a starter, depending on how (a) quickly the always slow to heal Eddie Rodriguez can come back from his sprained ankle and (b) Drew Pomeranz and/or Steven Wright fare in returning from their respective injuries.

Next we’ll hear how the top tiers of the farm system are a wasteland with nothing of real value to deal. That’s basically true, though GM Dave Dombrowski did manage to recently get Steve Pearce from Toronto.

Then comes the local media laying that on Dombrowski for emptying out said system in deals for Pomeranz, Chris Sale and Craig Kimbrel. We’re also bound to hear for the 12 billionth time how Lou Gorman once gave away Hall of Famer Jeff Bagwell in 1990 to fortify the bullpen, while acting like every guy under consideration is the next Junior Griffey.

So first I’ll ask, anybody want to give back Sale or Kimbrel if offered a do-over from Chicago and San Diego? Didn’t think so.

I’ll also point out that prospects exist for two reasons. To fill holes on the big club, or to be prime-time players that make more expensive productive veterans available in future trades, as Atlanta repeatedly did as they won 14 straight NL East titles. When the latter is the case, four things are taken into account. How good they’ll eventually become. Can they dislodge someone else, who can then be traded to fill another need. Are they blocked by someone better? Just as right field prospects are now

by Mookie Betts or once were at second base by Dustin Pedroia. Finally, if they are

can they switch positions, as Betts did after being blocked by Petey?

The latter incidentally was the issue with Bagwell. But, before I get into that, people, that was 28 years ago. Give it a rest, would you? But remember eighth-inning guy Larry Anderson was stellar while helping the 1990 Sox win the AL East. Bagwell went because Gorman thought AAA third baseman Scott Cooper was more major league-ready. Yes, Bags played first base, not third, in Houston, but the Sox also had Mo Vaughn in the system. And while Bagwell went to the Hall, both were All-Stars and MVPs, so that was a close call. So the mistake was thinking Cooper would be better than Bags — who had only four homers that year in New Britain.

On the flip side is Henry Owens, the 6’7” lefty who was considered untouchable after going 17-5 during a spilt AA/AAA season in 2104, while being treated by the media as if he were the next Sandy Koufax. Today he’s back in A ball after being released by the Sox. If he’d been traded at peak value in 2014, a lot of hysterical local heat would have followed. But time shows they’d actually have given up nothing.

Lastly, you must determine whether a postseason bid is worth giving up a potentially really good player. That was questionable for the 1990 Sox since they were staring at the Jose Canseco/Mark McGwire-led A’s before they got swept.

For the 1987 Tigers maybe it was. Doyle Alexander went 9-0, with a 1.53 ERA as they rallied to catch Toronto in the AL East after giving up an obscure single A pitcher to get him. Even the pitcher Atlanta got back turned out to be far better than Alexander ever, but he was ready then; John Smoltz was still a ways off from being the 213-win Hall of Fame hurler he became.

So with all that out of the way, and some evidence now available, let’s see how Dombo’s three big trades stand up to time.

Craig Kimbrel: He’s delivered 96 saves, a 2.16 ERA and an awesome 271 strikeouts

in 162 innings in 2½ seasons. Leaving were infielders Carlos Asuaje (.255 with six homers and 40 RBI in two MLB seasons) and Javy Guerra (.220 in AAA). Manuel Margot, the best player in the deal, was blocked as his Padres numbers in 218 games — .255 with 16 homers — wouldn’t unseat Jackie Bradley before you get to the fielding difference. With a 10-4, 2.66 ERA, 113 K’s in 105 innings line, AA reliever Logan Allen may be the best guy given up.

Chris Sale: A swap involving baseball’s top prospect, Yoan Moncada, to get Sale, who has an astonishing 505 strikeouts in 384 innings while going 28-14 with a 2.60 ERA. Meanwhile, the White Sox got three blocked players in centerfielder Luis Alexander Basabe (.257 and nine homers .257 in AA), 24 year-old Victor Diaz, who’s thrown 12 innings in two seasons, and Moncada now hitting .233 in Chicago with 12 homers and 42 RBI after a .231-8-22 submission in 2017. With 242 strikeouts and 207 AA/ AAA innings Michael Kopach offers promise, but he’s 3-7 with 4.48 ERA in 2018. So he’s a year off at least. All of which makes the ridiculous $50 million Ben Cherington signed Moncada for seem like money well spent for Sale.

Drew Pomeranz: Up and down, but 17 wins last year were big, and after giving up one hit in his last rehab assignment he may be on track now. Dombo gave up top pitching prospect Anderson Espinoza, but thanks to Tommy John surgery he hasn’t pitched in a year after being 1-3 with a 4.73 ERA in AA. The Bottom Line: Having prospects is valuable, but knowing how good they really are matters more. So complain about the barren farm system, but that’s a development issue. Because Dombrowski gave up almost nothing of value to current and future Red Sox needs for arguably a 17-game winner and baseball’s best closer and starter.

That’s what I call good dealing.Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress.com.

Sandy Koufax: With all due respect to Pedro Martinez the best pitcher I’ve seen in my lifetime, and to Lefty Grove the best lefty ever. Between 1962 and retiring in his prime after 1966, he won five straight ERA titles, 25, 26 and 27 games, while striking out over 300 batters three times.

Orlando Cepeda: Long-gone beloved Baby Bull slugger in San Francisco and 1967 MVP in St. Louis. Also did time in Atlanta after being traded for Joe Torre, as well as in Oakland and Boston. And while the 2,351 hits, 379 homers, 1,365 RBI and a .297 average are impressive, they’d have been much better if it weren’t for bum knees. Time in the slammer on a pot smuggling rap delayed the Hall election until 1999.

Ron Bloomberg: First ever DH, whom Luis Tiant walked with the bases loaded in a three-run Yankees first during the 1973 season opener at Fenway. First overall pick taken by the Yankees in 1967 draft after a high school career yielding 125 college basketball scholarship offers, including one from then omnipotent power UCLA. Chose baseball instead, which took him to Gill Stadium in 1969, where he hit .284 with 19 homers and 52 RBI for the Manchester Yanks. Never quite lived up to the billing due to injuries and his inability to hit lefties, but in an eight-year mostly Yankees career he hit 52 homers while batting a seventh best all-time among Jewish players .293, one spot behind old friend Kevin Youkilis.

Flying pesticides

How and why to invite bats, hawks and owls to your yard

By Scott Murphy

smurphy@hippopress.com

Instead of dousing your yard and body with bug spray or setting traps for rodents, there’s a natural repellent alternative that also helps some of the state’s rarest and most vulnerable animals. Outdoor boxes for bats, hawks and owls create sightseeing opportunities in your backyard while helping to eliminate pesky insects and critters.

Not a batty idea

Bat boxes are a great investment animal lovers can make to help one of the state’s most threatened species. According to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, the bat population across the Northeast has been ravaged by White Nose Syndrome over the last decade. The disease is caused by a fungus that grows in caves and mines and infects bats while they hibernate.

Between 2006 and 2012, the disease killed over 5.7 million bats in the Northeast.

A survey of New Hampshire’s four largest hibernation spots in 2011 found only 16 bats, significantly fewer than the 3,230 bats counted in these spots in 2009. Recent winter surveys in 2014 and 2015 found no signs of recovery, though researchers will conduct another survey this winter.

The blow dealt to bats’ natural homes provides an opportunity to offer some safer options.

“Bat boxes increase the opportunities for conservation and recovery by providing bats with another habitat,” said Sandi Houghton, a wildlife diversity biologist at New Hampshire Fish and Game. “It offers them more options, especially in areas where there aren’t forests with cracks and crevices or buildings like old barns they can get into.”

Bat boxes can be found at hardware and HIPPO | JULY 26 - AUGUST 1, 2018 | PAGE 12

craft stores, or they can be made at home.

Bat Conservation International recommends boxes be at least 20 inches tall and 14 inches wide, with an opening at the bottom and a 3- to 6-inch extension from the entrance for bats to land on. Houses should be installed 12 to 20 feet above ground, preferably on a pole, tree or building with minimal human activity.

Houghton said sun exposure is a crucial factor when deciding where to install bat boxes. She suggested facing boxes to the southeast and painting them black or another dark color to better absorb heat. Ideally, boxes should receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

P & S Country Crafts in Bristol is the only bat vendor in New Hampshire, and one of only three in New England, that’s certified

by Bat Conservation International. Owner and craftsman Paul Sodano said bat boxes provide a mutual benefit for homeowners due to the sheer amount of bugs bats eat every night. He said a single bat can consume between 1,000 and 2,000 insects per night, and a pregnant bat can eat as many as 4,000 insects in an evening.

“It’s a natural way of controlling insects instead of using bug sprays,” Sodano said.

“One of the biggest benefits is cutting down on mosquitoes, especially considering the increases in diseases like Triple E and West Nile Virus.”

An additional benefit of bat boxes is “guano,” or bat excrement, which accumulates underneath bat boxes. Sodano said guano is a fantastic fertilizer and recommended placing a shallow container underneath boxes to collect bat droppings.

Houghton cautioned that people should be patient with their bat boxes or try different locations if their boxes go unused. She said it can take up to two years for bats to move in, and some boxes overseen by New Hamp-

shire Fish and Game have taken three to five years to attract bats or have yet to be used.

A wise investment

Nest boxes for hawks and owls may help rid your yard of rodents roaming through the garden. Alan Eaton, an emeritus extension professor at the University of New Hampshire, said the state is home to three species of raptors that hunt small animals like voles and have been observed using nest boxes: the American kestrel (or “sparrow hawk”), saw-whet owls and barred owls. Each species requires a custom box and placement, but they all prefer minimal human activity.

“One thing I can’t emphasize enough is that these species don’t really like human presence,” said Eaton. “If you put a box with the right dimensions in a quiet corner in your yard with plenty of food options around, you might attract a kestrel or an owl.

Partial success is common, but complete success is rare.”

Kestrels are daytime hunters that forage in open spaces like fields and meadows.

Homeowners with plenty of land should find a quiet, open site for a nest box, placed between 15 and 30 feet above the ground.

The box should be about 16 inches tall by 9.25 inches wide with a 3-inch entry hole and a perch in the front. Eaton recommends including a top door with a hinge for easier seasonal cleaning and to place about three inches of sawdust in the bottom of the box.

Barred owls are common in New Hampshire and prefer to live near wooded swamps.

Nest boxes should be about 13 inches wide by 23 inches tall, filled with about three inches of wood chips and placed between 20 and 30 feet above the ground in a forested area.

Eaton suggested boxes be placed within 200 feet of water at most. Unlike kestrel boxes, the hole for owl boxes should look more like a small, arched doorway, cut about 7 inches wide with a 3.5-inch radius.

Similar to bat boxes, the key to attracting a raptor is patience and location.

“If you build it, they might not come if the area doesn’t have the resources they need,” said Pamela Hunt, senior biologist in avian conservation at New Hampshire Audubon’s McLane Center in Concord. “There’s also no guarantee a box will be inhabited. We’ve had a kestrel box on site for several years now, and we’ve never had a kestrel there, which is probably because there aren’t a ton

in New Hampshire.”

It’s also important to note that raptors aren’t the only animals these types of house might attract, which is why checking and cleaning boxes seasonally is important. “If you start putting up structures for wildlife, other wildlife you don’t want will come as well,” said Maria Colby, director of Wings

of the Dawn Rehabilitation Center and Bird Sanctuary in Henniker. “Expect other ani-

mals like squirrels to also try to utilize the box.”

Still, Colby said having a yard full of food and habitat options is a great way to attract a diverse array of animals. Feeding rodents and birds will ultimately attract raptors and other predators.

From blue jays and robins to chickadees, finches, titmice and swallows, New Hampshire is home to dozens of species of birds.

Keeping a birdhouse — also called a nest box — in your backyard is a great way to attract a bird looking to lay its eggs and raise its young. “[Birdhouses] are designed strictly for the breeding season, which usually runs between March and April into about mid-July,” said Michel Descoteaux Jr., who co-owns Architectural Birdhouses Unlimited in Amherst with his dad, Michel Descoteaux Sr. “In some cases, depending on if it’s a longer spring, nesting … may carry into August.

The male picks the house, and if [the female] likes it, then they build the nest and she lays the eggs.”

Once a bird picks out a house, it will usually come back and reuse it year after year throughout its lifespan, according to Descoteaux. Local craftsmen and sellers of birdhouses and bird feeders talk about how to pick out the right ones for you, how to maintain them, effective ways to keep the predators away and tips on how to build your own.

Picking out a birdhouse

Birdhouses come in all shapes and sizes, but will share a few common characteristics.

Bluebird houses available at the Duncraft

Wild Bird Superstore’s retail store in Concord, for example, have a 1.5-inch-wide entry hole designed specifically for that species, while houses for smaller birds like chickadees and songbirds will contain a hole about one and an eighth to one and a quarter inch wide.

The houses are often mounted on tall metal poles with a circular or cone-shaped roof called a baffle that’s added to prevent predators from climbing on it, or a protector guard that fits around the perimeter of the entry hole.

You can get a birdhouse custom designed, too. The Descoteauxs have built birdhouses replicating log cabins, lighthouses, Tudor mansions and more. Descoteaux said customers will normally provide photographs or drawings he and his father use to construct each custom house. But even for the custombuilt houses, he said, many characteristics are universal, such as the placement of the hole and features like lifting doors that make it easier to clean out the house for reuse.

“The standard would be about four and a half inches from the bottom of the box to the bottom of the hole. We stick with that, just because it’s common for most of the nesting birds,” Descoteaux said.

While you may want to get a birdhouse to attract a specific bird species, Descoteaux said it’s not always that simple.

“We’ve found that, in a lot of cases, the birds will make the decision where they want 14

Once you’ve picked out a birdhouse for your yard, Descoteaux said, you should also think about where it’s going to go.

“You don’t want to put your birdhouse in an area where there’s high traffic. You want to put it somewhere secluded on the edge of your property,” he said. “Most birds are

territorial, and they want to be able to see their predators, so they like open spaces. If you interfere with that open space, then they won’t nest there, basically.”

Descoteaux said the inside of the birdhouse should maintain a temperature of at least 65 degrees at night, and should also be brought inside, cleaned out and stored during the winter months in order to prevent predators like squirrels from destroying it.

“Squirrels have a habit of taking as much food as they can to store for the winter,” he said. “Unfortunately, your birdhouse may become one of those areas where they bury the acorns inside, and then if they can’t get back in, they’ll chew it apart to get to the acorns.”

If you want more butterflies in your backyard, you could purchase or build a butterfly house, which is similar to a birdhouse but with long thin slits for the butterflies to go through — but butterflies rarely use them.

“They’d rather go to their natural spaces,” said Donna Miller, a UNH Cooperative Extension master gardener and natural resources steward.

Instead, just a few tweaks to your backyard landscape can create the perfect habitat for attracting butterflies.

“They’re more used to going under the bark of a tree or into a brush pile [rather than a man-made butterfly house], so it’s good to keep some trees and brush piles around,” said Miller, who also owns Petals in the Pines, a 7.5-acre outdoor nature classroom in Canterbury containing 24 theme gardens, over 250 plant varieties and a Monarch Maternity Ward and registered Monarch Waystation.

Different butterfly species have different “host plants” on which they like to lay their eggs, Miller said. Decide what kinds of butterflies you’d like to attract, then plant their corresponding host plants in your backyard.

“You’re providing the place for the butterfly to lay her eggs, and, once the egg hatches, that plant is the food that the caterpillar eats,” Miller said.

The monarch butterfly, for example, which is one of the most common butterflies in the region, prefers milkweed. There are three varieties of milkweed in New England to choose from: common milkweed, which is the least aesthetically pleasing of the three, Miller said; swamp milkweed, also called rose milkweed, which can yield pretty pink flowers; and butterfly milkweed, which has a vibrant orange flower but is the least prefer-

able of the three for butterflies, Miller said.

Host plants for other butterflies that are native to New Hampshire include dill or parsley for black swallowtails, violets for fritillaries and tulip tree for tiger swallowtails.

Monarch Festival You can learn more about monarch butterflies and how to attract them and get some milkweed seed to take home at the Monarch Festival at Petals in the Pines (126 Baptist Road, Canterbury) on Saturday, Sept. 8, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is a $5 suggested donation for adults, and kids get in free. Visit petalsinthepines.com.

You can attract fully developed butterflies by planting flowers that are a good source of nectar. A good rule of thumb when choosing flowers to plant, Miller said, is to choose ones that are colorful and

that are common to the area.

“Native plants are best for attracting butterflies and other pollinators,” she said. “They are acclimated to our environment and do not require fertilizer or lots of care.”

You never know what kind of wildlife you’ll attract when you build a fairy house, a miniature structure that’s similar to a dollhouse but made from non-living organic materials found in nature, like fallen leaves, twigs, tree bark and stones. You can build one anywhere: at the beach, along a hiking trail, or in your own backyard.

Tracy Kane, Maine author and illustrator of the Fairy Houses Series books, and the person who inspired the Portsmouth Fairy House Tour that’s held every September, said it’s not uncommon to see various wildlife exploring or taking up residence in fairy houses.

“It’s exciting when a chipmunk or squirrel comes to check it out or a grasshopper or spider or toad visits and uses it for shelter,” Kane said. “Someone even had monarch butterflies take refuge in their fairy house during a rainstorm.”

If you’re new to fairy house-building and want to give it a try, a teepee is an easy house style to start with. Lean sticks and bark against each other in a triangle shape, then cover the floor and walls with dried grass or fallen leaves.

Fairy houses built in a public space should be all-natural and ephemeral so as not to disturb the environment, but if you’re building one on your own property, you can take more liberties.

“You do it more like a piece of artwork,” Kane said. “You can add artificial things to make it fancier and make it last longer. It’s something that you keep and take care of and make improvements to.”

To build a fairy house that will last, use strong materials like stones for the base, as opposed to plant material and twigs. You can even use drywall screws and glue to hold the house together.

Your materials don’t all have to come from the same environment; you can collect seashells, driftwood and seaweed from an afternoon at the beach, for example.

“You become more observant of things in nature and start looking at things in a different way,” she said. “You see a piece of birch bark and think, ‘That would make a great roof,’ or a pinecone and think, ‘That could look like a little tree.’ It gets to a point where you can’t go outside without

thinking, ‘What’s here that I can use for a fairy house?’”

There is just one rule to fairy housebuilding that applies no matter where you build or what kind of house you build.

“Don’t stir up any living thing or hurt nature in any way,” Kane said. “Be in tune with the environment and respect it.”

ARTS School stories

Show features short plays about the academic world

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

New World Theatre brings four new and original plays to the stage in its 2018 production, It’s Academic, opening Friday, July 27, at the Hatbox Theatre in Concord. Written by regional playwrights, the one-act plays are all based on an academic theme and will be performed back-to-back in a single show.

“I think it’s a timely subject. It’s something that’s kind of always in our lives that we can’t get too far away from,” said Donald Tongue, managing director for the company and the show’s producer. “We’ve all had these experiences during our school years, and I think there’s definitely a commonality of experience that we can relate to.”

New World Theatre is both a theater company and a playwright collective that helps playwrights through all phases of play development, from writing and workshopping to readings and full productions.

The idea for It’s Academic arose when two playwrights in the collective, William Ivers and Walter Freeman, both happened to write plays with academic settings. Tongue put out a call for original short plays with academic settings, of which he selected two to pair with Ivers’ and Freeman’s for a complete show.

The show opens with Ivers’ play An Unexamined Life, a dark comedy about a retiring philosophy professor who is confronted with an existential crisis and

befriends a student in a similar state of angst. The professor pauses throughout the play to have philosophical conversations with Socrates and breaks the fourth wall at points. Ivers won the Nor’eastern Play Writing Competition with An Unexamined Life in 2017.

“As the title implies, [the characters] are examining where they are in life and are questioning life and the future, and you see it from both sides — an older person and a younger person going through this selfexamination,” Tongue said.

Idealogues by Jack Neary is a light-hearted play that follows two middle-schoolers,

tion: the students can’t find their way, the teacher can’t find his way, and the whole situation is full of missed opportunities and what could have been versus what is,” Freeman said, “but once there is the possibility of a shooter in the building, all the comedy disappears.”

Freeman, who has himself been a teacher for 30 years, said his play and the other plays in the show provide a more realistic look at the academic world, which he believes has been “overly fictionalized” in the media.

“I’ve never seen a film or TV show that got education right. You have the teachers portrayed either as saints or totally inept, and the students who either don’t care at all or are wise beyond their years, and the truth lies somewhere in between,” he said.

“These four plays, while they’re all distinctly different in subject matter, share a both sent to the principal’s office for differ- common theme in that they aren’t the tradient infractions, as they discuss the current tional, cliche stories.

“Scenes at The Beach,” an exhibition featuring the work of Suncook painter Susan Clement, is on display now through September at 2 Pillsbury St., in Concord. Clement’s style is mostly impressionistic with a hint of realism. She is often inspired by scenes in nature, particularly seascapes off the New England coastline. “I enjoy capturing the vibrant colors of the magnificent sunrises and sunsets I witness every time I have the pleasure of being there,” Clement said in a press release. She is a member of the New Hampshire Art Association as well as the National and New Hampshire Women’s Caucus for the Arts, the Kittery Art Association and the Seacoast Art Association. She also teaches drawing and oil painting to children. Viewing hours are Monday through Thursday from 5 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Friday from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Visit nhartassociation.org.

Canterbury Fair celebrates 60th year

19th-century objects collected from people in town and the Historical Society’s archives.

Browse all kinds of gently used items at the What-Not Sale or the Book & Media Sale, going on all day. There will also be antiques dealers and artisans and craftspeople selling their wares, and some of the artisans will demonstrate traditional crafts like blacksmithing, segmented

fish pond, an obstacle course and oldfashioned games and crafts. People of all ages can participate in canoe polo at the fire pond, or at one of the pop-up watermelon seed-spitting contests happening throughout the day. Canterbury Fair T-shirts made to commemorate the fair’s 60th anniversary will be given as prizes.

In addition to the chicken barbecue, there will be food concessions including hamburgers and veggie burgers, hot dogs, sausage grinders, fresh fruit cups, homemade ice cream, a frappe bar, lemonade, cotton candy and a bake sale.

The Canterbury Fair is smaller than many of the other country fairs going on this time of year, but Luczko said that’s part of its appeal.

“There’s no rides and no midway, no hecklers trying to draw you in; it has more of that small-town feel,” she said.

In 1959, the Canterbury Ladies Benevolent Society hosted the chicken barbecue that would become the first Canterbury Fair. The fair has come a long way since then; the 60th annual Canterbury Fair, happening Saturday, July 28, at Canterbury Center, will feature all kinds of family-friendly activities, food and live entertainment, plus the traditional chicken barbecue with which it all began.

“It has sort of morphed and changed over the years and has definitely grown,” Kate Luczko, Canterbury Fair public relations and marketing chair, said, “but it’s still the same wholesome, quaint event that it has always been.”

A church bell will ring at 9 a.m. to signal the start of the fair and of the Woodchuck Classic 5K Road Race and 2K Chipmunk Scramble Kids Race, which will take off from Canterbury Elementary School.

Canterbury’s Morris Dancing Team will kick off the entertainment lineup, followed by Americana singer-songwriter Tim Gurshin, and Mark Hopkins and Friends, who will play the guitar, dobro, fiddle and banjo.

There will be plenty of things to see, like live farm animals, an antique tractor display with a working shingle mill and planing mill, and an exhibit at the Canterbury Historical Society featuring 23 Kiddie pool Family activities this week.

Children & Teens Art classes & programs • KIDS NIGHT OUT AT STUDIO 550 COMMUNITY ART CENTER Open to kids ages 5 and up.

Many years ago, when I was young and foolish, I decided to build an 80-foot-long terrace for fruit trees, and to edge it with a nice fieldstone retaining wall using stones I could find on my property or on the nearby property of a friend. It was a lot of work, a lot of fun, and I made a lot of mistakes. That wall still stands 30 years later, but I’ve had to fix it many times.

If you want to build a retaining wall, do your homework! Read up on the process before you start. This article will give you a few basics, but taking a workshop, or working with an expert waller, or reading a book or two will help a lot.

I recently went to Dummerston, Vermont, to talk to master dry stone waller Dan Snow.

He is one of the founding members of The Stone Trust on the Scott Farm in Dummerston. Here are a few of his suggestions.

Building a wall that withstands the test of time, it is important to start the wall on a good base that drains well. He recommends digging out a trench and filling it with halfto three-quarter-inch diameter crushed stone.

This is not gravel, which contains “fines,” meaning sand and clay particles, which is not what you want.

The taller the wall, the deeper the base of crushed stone should be. The general rule he suggested is that the depth of crushed stone should be one half the height of the wall.

Building a 3-foot retaining wall? An 18-inch ditch filled with crushed stone is a good start.

The exception to the rule of starting with a footing of crushed stone is if you are placing the wall on a heavy clay base. Clay can insinuate itself into the spaces between stones, and clog the drainage. Sand, however, won’t do that, and can be used as the base. If the wall sits on a base that floods in spring, you may have to install drains to carry away the water.

Dan Snow suggested the 1-2-3 rule for retaining walls. These numbers refer to the proportions of the wall: top width to bottom width to height. A 3-foot tall wall should be roughly 2 feet wide at the base, and one foot wide at the top.

When building any wall, free standing or retaining, it is important to have each course of stone level. And a gentle slope or pitch to the outside of the wall is needed, too. Many wallers use strings and a wooden framework to establish the batter, or pitch of the wall. In general, for every 12 inches of wall height, 2 inches of tip backward is good.

Another basic principle of building walls, as explained on the website of The Stone Trust (thestonetrust.org), is to turn long stones into the wall instead of placing them along the

length of the wall. That was a mistake I made many times when building my retaining wall.

A nice 30-inch stone placed lengthwise along the wall gives you a nice look, but it is not holding the wall in place the way it would if inserted from front to back in the wall.

Dan Snow also reminded me of the old saying, “Two stones over one, one stone over two.” Which means, never stack similar-sized stones over each other. You want each stone to be in contact with more than one stone above and below.

I asked Dan about using landscape fabric behind a retaining wall. I thought that this was a good practice, as it can keep soil from washing into the wall, filling spaces and clogging drainage. If a wall holds water behind it, and it freezes, he explained, the frost can push a wall forward. But Dan is not big on landscape fabric; he would rather just establish very good drainage so that it is not an issue.

Many gardeners who have a hilly site want stone steps to facilitate going up or down hills without slipping on wet grass. We looked at steps at The Stone Trust, and Dan explained the basics: Start at the bottom, and build upward. Be sure that each subsequent stone sits on the back of the stone below it. The weight of the upper stone will hold the lower stone in place. Finally, be sure that the front of each riser is either vertical or hangs over any stones supporting it. He said it is important, when you step down, that your heel not hit a piece of stone that is forward of the lip of the step.

Dan has two excellent books on stone work: Listening to Stone: Hardy Structures, Perilous Follies and Other Tangles with Nature, and In the Company of Stone: The Art of the Stone Wall. His website is dansnowstoneworks.com. Another excellent resource for working with stone is by Gordon Hayward, a neighbor and friend of Dan’s, an excellent garden designer, and the author of many fabulous books. Stone in the Garden: Inspiring Designs and Practical Projects is full of great photos and very specific, useful advice.

Don’t be daunted by stone. Learn to use it well and it will please you every time you go to your garden, even if the walls are not perfect.

Dear Nick, It’s so hard sometimes to identify items even with the internet to help these days.

The two items you sent photos of are from a dressing set. The hook was for tightening laces and boots and the other item is for grooming your nails. These pieces were part of a much larger set that was meant for on top of a dresser or even for traveling.

The sets had several pieces for nails, toenails, hair powder, etc. They were very popular in the late 1800s into the 1900s.

The handles on yours look to be made of ivorine, which is a form of plastic that was made to look like ivory. Lots of sets were made out of celluloid, another early plastic.

Unfortunately there is no more than a couple dollars in value in just the two pieces. But it was worth it just to find out what they are so now you can do more research yourself.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Series-hybrid purist searches for car Dear Car Talk: I am very interested in electric vehicles, but I am concerned about their range.

Why can’t there be a charging system on board that continBy Ray Magliozzi uously charges the battery? All that would be needed is a small gas-powered motor to operate an alternator.

I understand that the Chevrolet Volt comes close to this kind of system, but at a certain speed there is a gas-powered motor that will also send power to the wheels. So the Volt is not 100 percent electric but a form of a hybrid. — George The Volt is pretty close to what you’re talking about, George. And it works wonderfully. The car gets 50-plus miles on electricity alone. That’s enough to cover the daily driving for a huge percentage of our population. And if you need to go farther than that before recharging, the gasoline engine comes on and makes more electricity.

You’re right that the gasoline engine can also contribute to propulsion when needed (like when climbing a hill or

passing), but we don’t see that as a downside.

However, if you want the exact system you describe (called a “series-hybrid”), then you want a BMW i3 with what they call a Range Extender. The Range Extender is a two cylinder gasoline engine that kicks in when you run out of battery power, and provides electricity to get you another 65 miles or so.

Personally, I’d take the Volt. The total range of the BMW i3, even with the extender, is only 180 miles. The Volt can go 420 miles with both its battery and gas tank full.

Of course, the hope (and we’re starting to see the reality already) is that electric cars will eventually have the range of our current gasoline cars. We’re already seeing electric car ranges of over 200 miles (Tesla, Chevy Bolt, Jaguar I-PACE). And as batteries improve and recharging gets faster, that range should get even longer, and you won’t need no stinkin’ gasoline engine at all, George.

But in the meantime, if you want to be a series-hybrid purist, buy an i3. If you want to worry less about range and save $5K-$15K on the purchase price, buy a Volt.

SOLID VALUE

Dear Car Talk: We’re having a problem with our 2008 Honda Fit. The car runs OK, but there is a sloshing noise when we drive. It sounds like some liquid is moving back and forth up front somewhere. Any ideas? — Pat and Catherine Yes. I think there’s some liquid moving back and forth up front somewhere, Pat and Catherine.

OK, I’ll try to be a little more helpful than that. There’s water moving around in the air conditioner’s evaporator housing. When you run the air conditioner, moisture is removed from the air.

That’s one of the ways the AC makes you feel cooler, by decreasing the humidity.

So your car’s AC runs your moist air through this thing called an evaporator.

And just like on the outside of a lemonade glass in the summertime, when the hot air from inside your car hits the cold evaporator, the water falls out of it. And then, that water is supposed to drain out under your car.

But yours isn’t draining — or it’s draining very slowly. So that water just sits in the evaporator housing, and sloshes around when you drive.

If you accumulate a lot of water in there, it’ll eventually spill out on your feet when you make a sharp turn and soak your $300 Ferragamo loafers.

But don’t worry; this problem is very easy to fix. Just have your mechanic clean out the evaporator drain under the car. It’s probably gunked up with the dirt, leaves and dead rodent parts that you’ve been driving over since 2008.

We just use our compressed air hose and blow it out. It takes a couple of minutes.

If you want to confirm our diagnosis, on the next warm day, turn on your air conditioner, let the car run in your driveway for 10 minutes, and then have a look underneath.

If you don’t see a puddle of water, the drain is plugged. If you DO see some water, it’s possible that it’s not draining quickly enough, so you still might want to have it blown out.

The alternative explanation is that your sunroof drains are plugged up (if you even have a sunroof). But you’d be more likely to hear that over your head than toward the front of the car, so I’m pretty sure it’s your evaporator drain.

Fix it. It’s cheap.

FOOD Brews by the river

Manchester Brewfest offers beer, cider and food

By Matt Ingersoll

News from the local food scene

mingersoll@hippopress.com

By Matt Ingersoll

More than two dozen breweries from across New England will converge at Arms Park to offer beer and cider samples during the Manchester Brewfest, but the fifth annual event, happening on Saturday, July 28, from 1 to 5 p.m., will also feature local live music, food trucks and vendors, a cornhole tournament, giveaways and more.

“There’s a lot more than just people pouring beer,” Brewfest coordinator Bill Herlicka said. “There will be a lot of food to enjoy too, and Arms Park is a nice place to have fun and relax along the Merrimack River. People like to set up some lawn chairs or be in the shade under the tents. It’s pretty nice just sitting by the river drinking a beer and eating good food.”

There are no drink tickets; once festival-goers pay admission, they have free rein to try more than 100 different beers poured throughout the afternoon. Herlicka said about 30 percent of the brewers have attended past festivals, while others are new to the lineup this year.

A majority hail from New Hampshire, from longtime favorites like Stark Brewing Co. in Manchester and Martha’s Exchange in Nashua to lesser-known breweries like Ashuelot Brewing Co. in Richmond. Others will be representing states like Massachusetts, Maine, New York and California.

“We try to make sure that we have a well-rounded selection of beers,” Herlicka said. “Probably about 35 percent of them will be IPAs, but there’s a pretty excellent selection of beers beyond IPAs as well. Part of the Brewfest is that it’s an awesome opportunity to try a wide range of products, and we bring the brewers, so there’s a very good chance you might meet the owner or a brewer who will be doing the pouring.”

• Fresh burgers on the farm: The next summer burger night at Brookford Farm (250 West Road, Canterbury) is happening on Friday, July 27, from 6 to 9 p.m. During these events, which have been held on the last Friday of each month throughout the summer, staff members of the farm serve burger plates with Brookford’s grass-fed beef, plus sides of seasonal farm salads and vegetables, farmstead cheeses, krauts and a bowl of locally made ice cream for desserts. Vegetarian plates are also available.

The cost is $25 for an eight-ounce burger plate (all sides included), $22 for a fourounce plate, and $10 for a kid’s plate that includes their choice of a burger or a hot dog. Each burger night event is held rain or shine; there will be one more burger night, on Friday, Aug. 31, from 5 to 8 p.m. Visit brookfordfarm.com or call 742-4084 for more details.

• Tastes of France: Join Madear’s (175 Hanover St., Manchester) in celebrating its one-year anniversary with a French dinner on Monday, July 30, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. The five-course dinner will feature a French wine or French-inspired cocktail to be paired with each item. The cost is $65 per person. A reception will begin at 6:30 p.m., with the dinner to follow from 7 to about 9:30 p.m. Visit madears603.com or call 206-5827 to make reservations.

• Sue’s Korean Kitchen opens in Stratham: A new restaurant offering authentic Korean dishes is now open.

Sue’s Korean Kitchen opened on July 5 at 74 Portsmouth Ave. in Stratham, offering a wide variety of meat and vegetarian options for lunch and dinner.

There are appetizers like kimchi pancakes, scallion pancakes with sweet onion and baby spinach, mandoo (panfried Korean dumplings available either as beef or vegetarian), Korean marinated beef or pork sliders and kimbap (rice with egg, carrots, spinach and pickled radish). The main entree menu features plates like beef bulgogi, kalbi (barbecue short ribs), spicy pork bulgogi, japchae (Korean stir-fried glass noodles with onions, carrots, spinach and seasonal peppers) and dolsot bibimbap (a traditional Korean rice bowl mixed with spinach, carrots, bean sprouts, 34

He added that a couple of Massachusetts breweries — Lefty’s Brewing Co. out of Greenfield and Mighty Squirrel of Waltham — will be pouring samples that will be available in the Granite State for just one day.

“These are two breweries that don’t actually have any distribution in New Hampshire, but we’re bringing them in

Additionally, a few non-food vendors will be at the Brewfest selling products or providing demonstrations, like TrippHammer Blacksmith Shop of Saco, Maine, Squirrelcat Designs of Exeter and others.

Live music performers will include Worcester, Mass.-based singer-songwriter Dan Cloutier, and The Slakas, a five-piece classic and modern rock cover band out of Nashua.

With menu items like juices, smoothies, salads, açaí bowls and chia seed puddings, healthy options made fast and fresh is the central theme of a new eatery coming to Derry — aptly named The Juice Bar. A grand opening is expected on Aug. 4.

“I’ve always had a biggest interest in nutrition, and when I studied business at Springfield [College], the concept that I had was for a fast casual healthy restaurant,” said Troy Ward of Londonderry, co-owner with girlfriend Emily Thompson.

“When I met Emily, she would bring me to a lot of juice bars and smoothie bars, but we had always found ourselves driving so far to get to a place that we could eat really, really healthy quality food and not have to wait a wicked long time for it.”

For the past month, Ward said, they have been hard at work transforming the former space of Beauty in the Beads on Manchester Road into what will become The Juice Bar, renovating the decorum on the wall and adding in new floors, chairs, tables and kitchen appliances. The Juice Bar will contain two tables of four seats each, four additional bar seats against the window, a kids’ table and three outdoor tables for two.

Thompson, who created the menu, has experience working at coffee shops and juiceries — she even helped open one as a student in California. She said The Juice Bar will specialize in vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, and is working with local fruit purveyors like Sunnycrest Farm in Londonderry for their products.

There will be hot and iced coffees sourced from White Heron in Portsmouth, juice flavors like green, beet and pineapple, plus smoothies that will utilize fruits like mangos, bananas, strawberries and more.

Keto smoothies will also be available, as well as açaí bowls with toppings like fresh granola, fruit or chia seeds.

“An açaí bowl is kind of like a smoothie but it’s thicker, so you can eat it with a spoon and also put a bunch of things on top,” Thompson said. “Some people call it a smoothie bowl. … The açaí berry itself is like a cross between a strawberry and a wildberry flavor. We’ll also have more of a tropical one that has pineapple, mango and blue algae in it.”

For salads, options will include a vegan Caesar with gluten-free chickpea croutons, a Mediterranean with cucumbers, peppers, and lemon and olive oil dressing, and smaller spring mix salads. Other menu staples are grain bowls with rice, quinoa, chickpea curry or sesame ginger, and toast with spreads like avocado or peanut butter and banana.

Thompson said seasonal options may be added to the mix by the fall, such as apple and cinnamon toast spreads, and a small offering of hot soups. The Juice Bar will also offer small grain-free and corn-free treats for dogs.

“We wanted to be that source for people who don’t have to sacrifice the quality of their food for something convenient and fast,” Ward said, “but also a place with a cool atmosphere if they want to stay and hang out.”

The Juice Bar Grand opening is Saturday, Aug. 4, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Phil Pelletier of Manchester is the owner of Smokin’ Tin Roof (899-7369, smokintinroof.com), which currently has a product line of four specialty homemade hot sauces. Pelletier works out of Creative Chef Kitchens in Derry to make each sauce; the lineup includes a bacon stout mustard featuring the Belly of the Beast bacon imperial stout from Rockingham Brewing Co. in Derry, as well as Burnin’ Raspberry (a hot sauce made with actual red raspberries), a spiced pumpkin sauce with a milder kick of heat, and Grow a Pear (a sauce made from pears, cinnamon, garlic and ghost peppers). His sauces are available at the Manchester Craft Market at the Mall of New Hampshire, the Mall at Fox Run in Portsmouth, Johnson Golden Harvest in Hooksett, Osborne’s Agway in Hooksett and Rockingham Brewing Co., and are also available to order online.

Spinach & Artichoke Chicken Recipe courtesy of Delish 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 6 chicken breasts Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper ½ teaspoon dried oregano 3 tablespoons butter 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups baby spinach 1 (13.75-ounce) can artichoke hearts, chopped ½ cup sliced roasted red peppers 1 cup half-and-half ¾ cup shredded mozzarella ¼ cup Parmesan

combination that was reminiscent of the restaurant-favorite appetizer.

The roasted red peppers were a nice way to break up some of the richness of the cheese, and helped add some depth to the flavor profile of the dish. My husband wished the dish had a little more kick to it, and added some crushed red pepper to his portion. I, however, found the finished product to be delectable as-is, and wouldn’t change a thing. The undertones of oregano and garlic helped create a solid base for the richer cheese and cream sauce, and the spinach and artichokes helped give the dish a boost of freshness — despite the artichokes coming from the can.

While I opted to add just enough chicken for two portions, there were still leftovers that were great reheated the next day. This is certainly a recipe I’ll be adding into my normal rotation, and I can’t wait to roll it out for company in a few weeks. One of the best parts of the dish was how quickly it came together — and it disappeared from our plates even faster.

— Lauren Mifsud Season chicken liberally with salt, pepper and oregano. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil before adding the chicken and cooking until golden, about 6 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. To the same pan, add the butter. Melt, and then stir in the garlic, cook until fragrant, and then add the baby spinach, artichokes and red peppers. Cook until the spinach starts to wilt. Add half-and-half and bring mixture to a simmer. Stir in the cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until sauce has thickened slightly and chicken is cooked completely through. Remove from heat and serve warm (over prepared pasta if desired).

I’ve experimented with various spinach and artichoke dip-inspired dishes before, all to mediocre results. But this chicken recipe proved to have everything I love about spinach and artichoke dip, plus a few extra hints of flavor that went a long way to making this dinner a hit with the entire family.

My past attempts at spinach and artichoke dip fare have typically ended up bland and mushy. This recipe, however, seemed to hold all the secrets to creating a rich and creamy spinach and artichoke mixture that was divine when combined with the chicken and some roasted red peppers.

Plus, the mixture was so luscious, and there was extra since I didn’t use the full amount of chicken the recipe called for, so I was able to serve the rest of the mixture over a small bed of spaghetti. I could have eaten the spaghetti and spinach-artichoke sauce sans chicken every day for the rest of the week.

This recipe was also incredibly pantryfriendly, calling for dried herbs and several canned ingredients like the artichokes and roasted red peppers. I found that the blend of cheeses created the perfect salty-gooey

How would you describe your perfect Brian Parda handles sales and marketing for Great summer brew?

For me the perfect summer beer is refreshing but also has to have flavor. I’m looking yeast gives it that classic banana and bubfor lower alcohol and maybe a little less body blegum flavor that only a Belgian yeast can or sweetness. do. The hops give it some fruity aromas and enough bitterness to keep everything balanced.

Brian Parda knows beer. He handles marketing and sales for Great North Aleworks in Manchester and he has to stay on top of upwards of 15 brews throughout the year that are always changing, from summery brews like the Northbound Pilsner to wintertime favorites like the Chocolate Milk Stout. As the summer heat becomes borderline oppressive, Parda provided some guidance on how to quench your thirst for and with beer.

Harpoon Brewery IPA: Look, I don’t fully understand why there’s now a tiger on a bottle or can of Harpoon IPA, but for me, and many, many others, this is the beer that planted the seed for today’s hop craze. Go back to your roots. Cheers!

There is something about the personal touch of a tour, even if you’re with a sizable group of people, that provides context for the whole operation. You see the facility. You meet the people behind the beer. You get to ask the brewers questions.

You get to try the beer, too — and sometimes, if you’re lucky, you might be to sample from an experimental batch. The beer at the brewery, by the way, is at its absolute freshest.

In short, beer tours aren’t just for beer geeks. It’s your chance to experience the craft beer industry in person.

I recommend hopping on a brew bus, like Granite State Growler Tours (nhbeerbus.com) in Portsmouth, to visit multiple breweries over the course of a few hours — without having to worry about driving. For example, The “New Kids on the Block Tour” hits Throwback Brewery in North Hampton, Deciduous Brewing Co. in Newmarket and Neighborhood Beer Co. in Exeter. Or zero in on one to fully experience the facility and its beer. Make sure to call ahead.

POP CULTURE

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Self Defense Family, Have You Considered Punk Music? (Run for Cover Records) There’s a slight possibility you’ve heard of this post-hardcore-ish band, which evolved from the D.C.-punkworshipping outfit End of a Year in 2010 by adding all their session musicians as full-time tour players. They’re known for having a prodigious output, which is, of course, an easy thing to accomplish when you’re counting EPs and splits (with Trouble Monkey and Palm Reader among others), but we’ll let that go and press on. This one starts with “The Supremacy of Pure Artistic Feeling,” the irony of the title delivered with utter laziness, paint-by-numbers Slint deconstructionism trying to coexist with Amos Lee, the end effect being a sloppy but brilliant mess sounding like it was emailed back and forth for weeks while their English bandmates added stuff (which was probably what happened).

It’s quite decent, actually, if unfit for normies, and the same goes for “Certainty of Paradise,” a hybrid of Mickey Dolenz-voiced Monkees and Yo La Tengo.

Heaven help me, this is a pretty good record. A — Eric W. Saeger

Dennis Lichtman, Just Cross the River (Triple Treble Music) Some jolly good, irrepressibly upbeat jazz here, from a clarinetist who isn’t shy about letting people know he moved to Queens because Manhattan is hilariously expensive (in other breaking news, the sky was reported to be blue in color today). I’ll put aside the snark to let you know that a rebirth of early (1920s-1940s) jazz and swing has happened bigly in the boroughs (what was I telling you people about Al Jolson and whatnot two years ago? It’s OK, hit my Patreon with your reverence), and Lichtman is at the forefront of it, commanding his horn with aplomb, although I’d have to spend a lot more time with this record to identify the parts where he cooks the way Benny Goodman did. He’s fast, but I didn’t quite get the impression he’s on par with Goodman, who played it like it was a kazoo. On the first pass I did get pretty jacked over his interpretation of Clarence Williams’ “Cake Walking Babies from Home” (no kazoo-level runs but close), but there may well be more to discover here. This goes in the overstuffed cubby in my car right now.

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • The July 27 release schedule is looking pretty rockin’, to use an adjective I’ve avoided since birth. We’ll start these proceedings with RL Grime’s new LP, VOID, whose teaser track, “Valhalla,” is pretty cool, if you like Tech N9ne and other horror-rappers, like, there’s a slick funhouse noise beat and a doggy-barking sample. If I were 10 years old again I’d probably be all over this.

• Former Twisted Sister singing mister Dee Snider is still at it, because why not, as long as there are Gen X people still ambulatory and looking for albums to buy. For the Love of Metal is the new “platter” from this sinister D-lister, and the only real mystery revolves around whether or not he’s finally discovered a fourth chord to administer to his childish metal-punk flister-armbrister whatever. My Magic 8 Ball says “not on your life,” but we may as well go to the YouTube Matrix and see if he ever did take that second music class, so everyone put on your shiny red galoshes and mind the car insurance spam. The single, “Tomorrow’s No Concern,” sounds like newer Slayer, not pop metal about guys in Bette Midler wigs. Is this an artistic step forward or backward? Discuss.

• Geez, look at that, something that actually appears to be interesting, an album from Underworld & Iggy Pop, titled Teatime Dub Encounters! This album came about after the rave duo and Iggy collaborated on soundtracking for the T2 Trainspotting movie; they realized their combined forces were awesome, and they are, at least on the single “Bells & Circles,” comprising a big breakbeat, some ’90s techno and, well, Iggy, spoken-wording about not being able to smoke on airplanes anymore, which does suck, come to think of it.

This is too awesome for this decade.

• Boz Scaggs was one of the worst things that ever happened to music, with his stupid elevator-rock hit “Lowdown.” You kids don’t know it, but if you want to put a stop to your parents’ nagging, all you have to do is say “Boz Scaggs, Dirty Lowdown” and they’ll have to stop in their tracks right then and there in order to try and get that stupid song out of their brains and take its stupid disco flute with it.

Out of the Blues is the new album from this anti-music singing man, which means I have to run back to YouTube and throw the Scaggs Ring of Power into Mount Doom and try to save your parents, or great-great-grandparents, or however your family’s Baby Boomers are related to all you horrible little 4channers. Whatever, you shall not pass, no matter what stupid song may come, let’s go, hobbitses.

Here you are, it’s the single, “Rock and Stick.” Scaggs sounds — ack, this song is awful — the same as always. This is like 1960s flowerpower rock dumbed down for happy hour at Foxwoods. I really hate this.

POP

Character craze

Cosplay and photography expo returns to Nashua

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

While cosplay is a part of almost any comic convention, there are few events dedicated to cosplay alone.

That’s why Rodney Brown, editor of the lifestyle magazine Nerd Caliber, and his team created the Cosplay and Photography Expo, the first event of its kind in New England.

Now in its third year, the expo will be held on Saturday, July 28, and Sunday, July 29, at the Holiday Inn in Nashua.

“Instead of making it like a comic con where you can meet celebrities and get their autographs and all that, we wanted it to be an educational event,” Brown said. “A lot of cosplayers we work with are keen on teaching people how to do this, and there’s a demand for that.”

The expo will feature panels and workshops on cosplay as well as photography, two art forms that Brown said go hand in hand.

“One of the various things that separates cosplay from something like Halloween costuming is the deep connection between cosplay and photography,” he said. “People in Halloween costumes certainly like to get pictures when they can, but it’s not their goal, and in cosplay it is almost always the goal of the cosplayer to make sure they have a beautiful record of their craft and how they portray their character.”

Saturday panels will cover topics including cosplay photography, making costumes and props on a budget, photography in and out of conventions, competing in cosplay, post editing and intention, fabric basics, basic leatherworking, introduction to flash photography, building a corset, costume hoodies made easy and seamstress secrets for cosplayers.

Panels on Sunday will cover live wig styling, off-camera flash, foam armor techniques, introduction to 3D printing, natural light photography, cosplay makeup, what equipment to buy and how to care for it, and finally, designing original, gijinka (personification of animal characters) and alternate universe costumes.

“Coming up with original or alternate universe versions of costumes of mashup costumes is a very hot topic right now,” Brown said. “For example, one [person] created a costume that was a character from Assassin’s Creed mixed with Link from Zelda, with all real chainmail and leather work that he did himself.”

Other special activities and events will include a live recording of the cosplayfocused podcast CosCast on Saturday; a

cosplay photography shoot-out on Sunday, where cosplayers and photographers will be randomly paired up for a cosplay topic shootout challenge and will have their best photos critiques by a photography panel; and a Pirate Party after-party on Saturday night featuring DJ Adam Furious, open only to expo attendees.

Additionally, there will be a vendor area with more than a dozen vendors selling original art and handmade crafts and items for cosplayers.

“They’ll have things like chainmail pieces or square patches that you might want for an armored character, small pre-made accessories, fairy wings for fairy-like characters, things like that,” Brown said.

The expo will appeal to both beginner and experienced cosplayers and photographers, and even though it’s an educational event and doesn’t have a cosplay contest like you’d find at a comic convention, dressing up in handmade cosplay is encouraged.

“Some people buy costumes pre-made, and that’s fine, but that isn’t what our event is about. We’re all about how to do it on your own,” Brown said. “It all comes down to your fandom for the character and the creativity that goes into turning yourself into that character.”

POP CULTURE BOOKS

Calypso, David Sedaris (Little, Brown and Company, 259 pages) A pivotal essay in David Sedaris’ new book was published in The New Yorker five years ago. The reader stumbling across “Now We Are Five” just 15 pages into Calypso fears the worst, that Sedaris at 61 has put on the old, comfortable clothes of the reprint, which is the lazy writer’s way to appear prolific. Toss one part new material, four parts old for a $28 word salad.

But although Sedaris’s account of his youngest sister’s suicide in 2013 is familiar territory, and there are other retreads in this collection, there remains new material more shocking than Sedaris’ quest to feed a frozen tumor to a snapping turtle in North Carolina.

Calypso is Sedaris at the peak of his powers, the sly, comic storyteller emboldened as if he’d swallowed a truth serum before sitting down to write. Warning: Some of his revelations you might want to un-know.

The book begins benignly enough with “Company Man,” in which Sedaris drolly riffs about his experience as a host, largely in Europe, where he and longtime partner Hugh live. “Though there’s an industry built on telling you otherwise, there are few real joys to middle age. The only perk I can see is that, with luck, you’ll acquire a guest room,” he begins, then zigzags through a maze of anecdotes that seem as unrelated as the words “cancer whore” (a phrase which comes up later) but all fit together like a Brio train.

Sedaris, who grew up in a family of six, either has the world’s most interesting family, as he claims, or is the world’s most skillful liar. Both may be true. In one story, his sister Gretchen, who has taken to eating in her sleep, woke up to find that during the night she had eaten from the food she keeps for her pet turtles, “a nutrition bar, maybe four inches long and made of dead flies, pressed together the way Duraflame logs are.” She’d also gobbled all the petals on a poinsettia, leaving behind a forlorn stalk.

In the past, Sedaris fans could accept a wild story like this at face value, but in Calypso he introduces a vapor of doubt as he digs deeper into his family history, revealing that his mother was the family’s first humorist and that, apparently, Sharon Sedaris never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Sharon Sedaris, who died in 1991, took such pleasure in making people laugh that her mantra became “I got them laughing,” and at night, after dinner, she would sit at the table, her enraptured children gathered round her, and teach them how to

craft funny stories. (It wasn’t just David Sedaris who benefited; sister Amy is also an accomplished comedian and author.)

“Her specialty was the real-life story, perfected and condensed. These take work, and she’d go through a half dozen verbal drafts before getting one where she wanted,” Sedaris writes, adding that sometimes the final version included not the line his mother actually delivered but the line she wished she’d delivered.

“We’d be on the sidelines, aghast: ‘That’s not how it happened at all!’ But what did it matter with such great results?”

With this, we’re left wondering if Gretchen really ate a turtle bar studded with dead flies or a Kind bar with sea salt and peanuts.

Did David really have a lipoma cut out in the middle of the night by a fan because his real doctor wouldn’t let him keep it and feed it to a turtle? Ah, what does it matter with such great results?

Less likely candidates for embellishment are the stories that Sedaris tells about his father, with whom he has a complicated relationship, and his dead mother and sister. Sharon Sedaris, her son reveals, was an alcoholic who was never encouraged to seek help. Tiffany Sedaris, who lived for much of her adult life in Somerville, Massachusetts, was also prone to substance abuse, apparently as early as high school, since her high school annual was annotated by friends with references to getting high.

In writing about his sister, it’s unclear whether Sedaris is trying to assume the blame for her suicide, or to paint Tiffany as an unfixable, mentally ill mess whose lonely, sad end had the inevitability of rain.

Tiffany squandered an inheritance from their mother, he writes, then refused to get a job when she ran out of money, pilfering from Dumpsters to obtain the basics of living and to get supplies for her art.

By the time Tiffany killed herself on the second attempt, brother and sister were no longer speaking, and the story at the times seems Sedaris’s desperate attempt to wipe remorse off his hands, in the way that telling a ghastly story to someone else somehow makes it easier for us to live with its horribleness.

All that said, it’s a testament to Sedaris’s gifts that Calypso is, throughout, a wickedly funny book by a writer whose next words are never predictable, even when writing about commonplace experiences, such as getting addicted to logging miles on a Fitbit.

About that tumor. No matter how hungry your turtles are, please do not try this at home. A — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Sorry to Bother You (R)

Telemarketing is the gateway to evil in Sorry to Bother You, a smart social commentary that slowly reveals itself to be something darker and more dystopian.

In someday Oakland (a day only slightly different from today), Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) is living in the garage of his uncle Sergio’s (Terry Crews) home and still can’t make the rent. His girlfriend Detroit (Tessa Thompson) has a few day jobs but her true calling is as an artist — both visual and performance art. At least her struggle has some meaning attached to it, Cassius, called Cash, seems to think.

Even though he and Sergio are struggling, he reminds Sergio that he shouldn’t look to WorryFree as the answer to his economic woes. WorryFree is, as ads constantly explain, a bold new solution to joblessness and money problems. All you have to do is sign a lifetime contract and WorryFree provides you with food and shelter in lavish four-couples-to-a-room accommodations in exchange for guaranteed work. So, in other words, prison; WorryFree is a voluntary life prison sentence with enforced sweatshop-like labor.

Thanks to Cash’s friend Salvador (Jermaine Fowler), Cash might be able to avoid this fate by getting a job at Regal View, which appears to be a telemarketing company selling items such as, like, Great Courses-style videos. Salespeople who are able to close enough deals are labeled “Power Callers” and promoted upstairs, where allegedly the salaries are big and the elevator is swank.

At first Cassius’s calls all end in quick hang-ups. But then fellow caller Langs-

ton (Danny Glover) tells him to use a “white voice.” When Cassius gives it a try, he finds his “white voice” (voice of David Cross) keeps clients on the phone and soon his sales pile up, allowing him to not only pay his back rent to Sergio, thus helping Sergio keep foreclosure at bay, but also get his own place for himself and Detroit.

But as his fortunes climb, his fellow Regal View employees are talking union.

myself wondering which “revolutionary” but also sort of soul-sucking tech company’s CEO he’s supposed to be.

Sorry to Bother You starts sharp and funny and gets super weird and funny.

I’ve seen it compared to Get Out and its horror and the source of its humor share a lot with that movie. Sorry to Bother You isn’t a retread, though. It has its own perspective and considers not just race but also socioeconomic issues, labor-corporate relations and how the business world is covered in the media — how what can appear like revelations of a company doing wrong by society can be spun as an example of its innovation.

Stanfield does a good job of making Cassius a regular person who, like regular people, will go along with a certain degree of “this is obviously bad for the world” for the sake of his family or his personal comfort or sense of accomplishment. The use of the “white voice”

gimmick and how the movie chooses to weave it in and with which characters is also really smart and a great aural element, on order of the use of silence in A Quiet Place or music in something like Baby Driver. There are so many smart, nuanced elements to this movie that even before it was over I wanted to see it again to catch what I missed or spend more time considering, say, what the movie does with names or with the billboards in the background.

Sorry to Bother You is probably best described as a horror/sci-fi comedy dystopia, a blend that makes for a very smart but also thoughtful and terrifying laughout-loud film. B+ Rated R for pervasive language, some strong sexual content, graphic nudity and drug use. Written and directed by Boots Riley, Sorry to Bother You is an hour and 45 minutes long and distributed by Annapura Pictures.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (PG-13)

Back in the day, young Donna first comes to Greece, while in the present her daughter deals with major life changes, in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, a so-so sequel that finishes strong.

As is suggested in the trailers, Donna (Meryl Streep), the feisty hotel owner who married Sam (Pierce Brosnan) at the end of the first movie, has died. Her daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), who ran off to see the world with boyfriend Sky (Dominic Cooper), is now back on the island renovating and restoring her mother’s villa. Sky is in New York City, learning the

hotel trade with an eye toward returning to Greece to help Sophie run the Villa Bella Donna, but a job offer has him considering staying in the city. Sam also lives in a house near/on the villa property. He’s still quite mournful but happy to help Sophie, for whom he is one of three fathers. You’ll remember the last movie ends with Sam, Bill (Stellan Skarsgård) and Harry (Colin Firth) deciding that, though Donna isn’t sure which one actually fathered Sophie, all of them will be her dads.

Donna’s old friends and co-singers in her band, Tanya (Christine Baranski) and Rosie (Julie Walters), have come to the hotel for a grand reopening.

As Sophie considers this new phase of her life and her rocky relationship with Sky, we flashback to see young Donna (Lily James) graduate from college and set off to seek adventure. Along the way, she meets and spends the night with first Harry (Hugh Skinner) and later Bill (Josh Dylan) and in between has a brief but intense romantic relationship with Sam (Jeremy Irvine).

The movie is glossy but not particularly skilled, its plot is silly but thankfully irrelevant to what the movie is actually doing, which is delivering pretty people performing highly singable songs. Its cast is game but not used quite as well as last time. This go-around, the focus is on Lily James, who really does give it her all and is able to do a lot with charm, and Amanda Seyfried, who is, you know, fine. But this means there’s less room for the likes of Christine Baranski and Julie Walters, who individually and together are higher wattage than the movie had room for.

For scheduling reasons, I ended up seeing this movie in a mostly empty giant theater. This is probably the opposite of ideal Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again viewing, which is likely in a small but packed theater. Actually, the best viewing experience is probably projected on the side of someone’s shed as part of an outdoor movie night at a home with no nearby neighbors and with an audi-

ence that has had enough to drink to get a slight buzz before the movie starts — enough to, say, feel comfortable singing and dancing in public. That is the way to see either of the Mamma Mia! movies, but especially this one. My other thought while watching this movie was that, especially in its final 40 minutes or so, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie deliver so much fan service and I include in that all the recent Star Wars movies, some of which you could argue were mostly fan service. Here’s the thing, though, the fan service is probably the movie’s very best parts. What do I mean, exactly? Well, I don’t want to spoil anything so let’s just think about this movie’s various elements — the songs of ABBA, Cher (who plays Donna’s mother), younger versions of the core cast members, Andy Garcia playing exactly the role you’d design for him if you were trying to design the most stereotypical Andy Garcia role. Think of every PG-13 thing you’d like to see happen and this movie probably delivers on most of them. I feel like this should be a criticism of the movie but these sections are when the movie really leans in to what it is and, like, lives its best life.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is fun, just fun, fun in a backyard burgers kind of way, a homemade cocktail kind of way.

What it lacks in polish — and it lacks a lot of polish when it comes to story construction and dialogue — it makes up for in joy, making it the most enthusiastic possible kind of B-.

Rated PG-13 for some suggestive material, according to the MPAA. Directed by Ol Parker, who also wrote the screenplay, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is distributed by Universal Studios.

The Equalizer 2

47

necessarily, but just his presence, the way he can sell silence as deep thought and minor shows of strength as bottomless wells of bad-ass-ness. This movie makes everything we think about action-movie Washington the foundation of everything it does, which could be lazy, but, hey, you work with what you have and a top-flight action star can make up for a lot of story and dialogue flaws.

Robert McCall (Denzel Washington), whose back story I only vaguely remember but the movie helpfully boils down for us as “former special forces-type” and “mourning a dead wife,” is a Lyft driver in Boston.

From the front seat he witnesses sadness and joy and, occasionally, the aftermath of a crime, such as when he sees a woman put in a car injured and crying. After driving her to the hospital, he returns to the scene of the pick-up to both beat the stuffing out of the men who assaulted her and remind them to give him a five-star rating.

His other regular contact with humanity is through his neighbors, such as the nice lady with the garden, Fatima (Sakina Jaffrey), and the teenager with artistic talent, Miles (Ashton Sanders), whom McCall tries to steer away from trouble. None of these people know about McCall’s past or that he still occasionally dabbles in highstakes butt-kicking, such as when he travels to Turkey to rescue the little girl who was kidnapped by her father. Only Susan Plummer (Melissa Leo), his old coworker at the, let’s say, CIA, and her husband Brian (Bill Pullman), know about his old life.

But then, of course, events drag him back in to that world and back together with Dave York (Pedro Pascal), a man he served in the military with and who, like most of that world, thinks McCall is dead.

This movie comes in at about two hours and is probably 30 to 40 minutes too long.

We don’t need scenes of planes taking off and landing to make it clear McCall didn’t apparate from Boston to D.C. Also, I get that we’re supposed to see McCall working out how a murder was done when he stares at photos and reports and visualizes

that crime scene but that’s a lot of showing-your-work that doesn’t need to be done either. We’re here for a movie about Washington besting multiple dudes in every fight he’s in, usually by weaponizing, like, a tea cup and a ballpoint pen, so all the connective tissue scenes feel like unnecessary padding and not, as I suspect is the purpose of them, context to give McCall’s investigative prowess realism.

There is also maybe at least one too many “McCall to the rescue” elements: the good kid about to waste his artistic talent on drug sales, the nice lady whose community garden is trampled, the young woman who was just assaulted by rich jerks, an elderly client with a story about a lost family, the kidnapped little girl at the beginning of the movie. Any two of those would have gotten across the “McCall saves people” message and all of them drag at the movie and get in the way of the central kicky-punchy action. Those moments had kicky-punchy elements to them as well, so it might sound like I’m advocating less violence but actually I’m arguing that the movie should streamline the violence. Personally, I think the kidnapped little girl (whose angry father feels like maybe a Chekhov’s gun that could go off in a sequel) and the artistic kid (who could also be a sequel supporting character) would have been enough to convince us of McCall’s present decency despite a shady past.

That said, the movie is otherwise (and I feel like I’ve said this a lot this summer) as advertised. Washington is a mighty good action hero; he can be playful and serious at the same time, calibrating the amount of each depending on the movie or the scene. He is capable of, as he does here, elevating the mediocre to the level of enjoyable. BRated R for brutal violence throughout, language and some drug content, according to the MPAA. Directed by Antoine Fuqua with a screenplay by Richard Wenk, The Equalizer 2 is two hours and one minute long and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

Vintage concert returns on big screen

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

The Grateful Dead ended with Jerry Garcia’s passing in 1995. Versions of the iconic jam band came in following years, an un-mellow business covered ably in Joel Selvin’s Fare Thee Well. Without Captain Trips on guitar, however, the old expression, “There’s nothing like a Grateful Dead concert” had new meaning.

Meet-Up at the Movies was created by old-school Deadheads to fill that void. A national annual event, it features a vintage Dead show playing on a big screen as fans commiserate like back in the day. Now in its eighth year, the event happens at multiple movie theaters throughout August.

This time around, a never-before-seen film of the July 7, 1989 concert at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia airs. Locally, it plays at Cinemagic in Merrimack and Hooksett on Wednesday, Aug. 1.

Serious Deadheads will wait until Friday, Aug. 10, to see it at the Milford Drive-In, and watch a Dead tribute act play ahead of the screening. Short of ticket seekers holding “I Need a Miracle” signs, the milieu bears a strong resemblence to concert parking lots in the Dead’s heyday, said Greg Joseph, whose band Not Fade Away is appearing for a third consecutive year.

“In terms of the overall vibe, it’s like what you’d experience before a Dead show,” he said. “Tailgating, vendors with swag … everybody hangs out, talks, dances and kind of gears up. As the show is happening, people meander and socialize around the community, which is really nice.”

Joseph saw his first Garcia show in the early ’80s and recalls seeing the Dead at the Orpheum, Boston Garden and an epic night with Bob Dylan in Foxboro when they were at the height of their drawing power. In 1995, he took his son Joshua to what turned out to be the band’s final New England appearance, in Highgate, Vermont.

His son doesn’t fully recall the experience, which included a bit of peaceful gate

crashing when tickets couldn’t be located, but it made an impression.

“He’s 28 now, and he plays with the band.” Joseph said. “He plays guitar.”

Not Fade Away mostly sticks to upbeat songs like “Truckin’” and “Touch of Grey” while steering clear of “Morning Dew,” “Stella Blue” and other dirge-y fare.

“Keep the tempo up, keep it dance-able,” Joseph said. “We pride ourselves on being a high-energy kind of version of the Grateful Dead. We’ll throw a slower song in here and there, but we try to rock up everything — people view us as a very rocking tribute band.”

The group includes Joseph and his son on guitar and vocals — “Josh is kind of our Bobby Weir” — along with Cassidy Jones playing keyboards and singing, Doug Wheaton on bass and drummer Sven Gallee.

“He’s our secret weapon,” Joseph said, comparing Gallee to the leader of Joe Russo’s Almost Dead. “They’re based around the drummer, and he’s got that kind of energy that really drives the band.”

Since forming five years ago, NFA’s become a mainstay at Shaskeen Pub, Harlow’s and other regional venues. They got an invite to appear on the main stage at this

The meetups provide a chance to relive the band’s heyday and catch up, Joseph said, something that’s also true of his own band’s shows. “You know, New Hampshire’s got a pretty strong, somewhat tight-knit community in terms of Deadheads. ... Lots of folks know each other. If you come out to see Not Fade Away, we’ve got people that come out show after show; that sense of community is there in New Hampshire, and it’s a really cool thing to be part of.”

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Inexplicable

San Diego photographer Mike Sakasegawa prides himself on seeing the beauty in mundane objects, The Washington Post reports. But something about his latest subject took social media by storm.

On July 11, as Sakasegawa returned home from his morning run, he noticed a round, yellow object rolling down the street. “I thought it was a tennis ball or something,” he said, but in fact it was a lemon. So he did what any self-respecting photographer would do: He captured video of the fruit as it continued its journey to the bottom of the hill, then posted his 1.5-minute documentary to Twitter. Within 24 hours the video racked up more than 2.5 million views. “I post stuff that’s similar to this all the time,” Sakasegawa said.

“Most of the time, it floats on by.” By the next day, the lemon video had gained more than 100,000 likes, was retweeted tens of thousands of times, and a literary agent had contacted Sakasegawa, wondering if he’d like to make the lemon into a children’s book.

Least competent criminals

• Rye Wardlaw, 40, chalked up a big FAIL on July 8 at NW Escape Experience in Vancouver, Washington, when he broke into the business in the pre-dawn hours. According to The Washington Post, Wardlaw tried and failed to enter through a back door using a metal pipe, then knocked a hole through the wall.

After climbing through, he knocked over a set of lockers. Then, carrying a burrito and a beer he nicked from the company’s refrigerator, he wandered into the “Kill Room,” an escape room dressed to look like a serial murderer’s hideout. Among the blood-spattered walls and fake cadavers, Wardlaw got scared, but he couldn’t ... escape. So he called 911 (four times) and pleaded for help. Clark County Sheriff’s officers accepted his confession and charged him with second-degree burglary.

• In Mesa, Arizona, two troopers with the Arizona Department of Public Safety were surprised to find themselves being pulled over on State Route 51 by a black Dodge Charger on July 11. The troopers were in an unmarked Mustang and had spotted the Charger behind them sporting law enforcement-style emergency lights, reported ABC15 Arizona. A registration check revealed the car was registered to a private citizen, who soon activated his flashing lights and pulled the troopers over. When the (real) troopers approached the Charger, they found 44-year-old Matthew Allen Disbro of Mesa wearing a security uniform and a gun belt with a handgun, cuffs and pepper spray. The car also contained a siren
