Taco Tour’s next adventure

We’re very happy to announce that, starting in 2019, Manchester’s annual Hippo de Mayo Taco Challenge (most commonly known as the taco tour) will be organized by Intown Manchester.

Hippo started the taco tour in 2011 as a way for downtown restaurants to showcase their culinary chops and to bring thousands of people downtown. We did that. By 2018 there were more than 50 restaurants participating and more than 30,000 taco tourists made their way downtown to eat tacos on the first Thursday in May. Manchester is a great food town, and I hope we helped showcase that.

It succeeded beyond our wildest dreams — so much so that it became too large for us to continue to organize. With the growth of the crowds the event had literally outgrown the sidewalks, and closing Elm Street seemed like the natural next step to keep the event growing and safe.

We had always organized the event in a way that made it as easy as possible to put on. We handled the marketing and coordination of information (like who had what tacos). It was never an event that produced revenue for Hippo, but it did take hundreds of hours of staff time to organize. Having an organization like Intown and the city take over the event seemed like a natural next step. They have the ability to really blow the event up and use it as a springboard to do other great things downtown. The recent aldermanic discussions about closing Elm Street for more events is a great example of the possibilities.

I’d like to personally thank all people (taco tourists) who joined us for the taco tour, the restaurants who participated over the years (even those who were very late in submitting their taco descriptions), Dos Equis and New Hampshire Distributors, Southern Wine and Spirits, Coca-Cola of Northern New England, Grace Limousines, the City of Manchester and my staff for going the extra mile in making the event happen.

It’s been odd and amazing to watch the taco tour go from an idea I had to something that thousands of people do every year like it’s a normal thing — just head downtown and eat a taco from an Indian or Hungarian restaurant.

We’re excited about this next step and excited to see what Intown does and excited to eat tacos at next year’s tour.

Save me a place in line!

NEWS & NOTES Health care waiver

Gov. Chris Sununu submitted a waiver application to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar for the Granite Advantage Health Care Program, according to a news release. The waiver would allow New Hampshire to extend its Medicaid expansion program for the next five years, as outlined in SB 313, signed by Sununu in early July.

The program, which uses Medicaid funds to purchase private health plans for roughly 50,000 low-income residents, was set to expire this year. SB 313 adopts a managed care model and uses 5 percent of revenues from the state’s liquor and wine outlets to compensate for diminished federal funding. In his letter to Azar, Sununu wrote, “These changes will result in substantial savings for federal taxpayers, while also bringing greater stability to the state’s federally-facilitated individual marketplace.”

Opioid funding

The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services clarified an announcement it issued last month regarding funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The department will receive a total of $22.9 million for each of two years, totaling $45.8 million over the two-year award period. The initial announcement indicated New Hampshire would receive up to $23 million for a variety of initiatives related to opioid relief.

According to the department, SAMHSA provided the clarification to the state and acknowledged that the wording of the federal grant announcement was unclear.

The additional $22.9 million for the next fiscal year will fund programs aimed at increasing access to medication-assisted treatment, reducing unmet treatment needs and providing various prevention, treatment and recovery services.

Beautify Manchester

Manchester Connects, a community organization focused on various development projects in Manchester, received $19,660 HIPPO | AUGUST 2 - 8, 2018 | PAGE 4

from the AARP Community Challenge grant program, according to New Hampshire Business Review. The organization was the only grant recipient from New Hampshire this year. Its winning grant proposal outlined the development of a riverside gathering space in Manchester’s Arms Park.

Along with new tables, planters and other amenities, the project will connect the area to pedestrian pathways for walking and biking. Another project being planned by Manchester Connects is “The Loop,” which would allow pedestrians to more easily walk from downtown to the Millyard to the Merrimack riverfront and back. Eventually, the organization envisions the Loop to include a pedestrian bridge connected to the west side of the Merrimack River and Manchester’s Millyard West.

Bedford superintendent

Bedford school superintendent Chip McGee resigned after it was revealed he allowed a staffer to speak favorably of a guidance counselor accused of sexually assaulting a 14-yearold student, the AP reported.

Kristie Torbick had been a guidance counselor at Bedford High School for five years before transferring to Exeter High School in 2016, where she sexually assaulted a freshman student on multiple occasions.

Torbick pleaded guilty in early July. According to the AP, Bedford High School’s dean of students addressed the court to praise Torbick with McGee’s knowledge. McGee announced he would step down after parents called for his resignation.

Counterfeit pills

Sen. Maggie Hassan, Rep. Annie Kuster and other legislators introduced the bipartisan, bicameral Substance Tableting and Encapsulating Enforcement and Registration bill, according to a news release. The bill would require all tableting or encapsulating machines, which are used to manufacture pills, to be registered with the Drug Enforcement Agency. The bill’s

sponsors claim this would allow the Department of Justice and law enforcement officials to better identify pill press machines being used for illegal purposes. According to Sen. Hassan, the measure is supported by both parties as well as the opioid commission formed by President Donald Trump.

The Lucknow Estate in Moultonborough, better known as “Castle in the Clouds,” was added to the National Register of Historic Places, according to the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources. The mountaintop mansion sits on more than 5,000 acres and overlooks Lake Winnipesaukee and the Ossipee Mountains.

Private school rector

St. Paul’s School, a coed boarding school in Concord, hired Kathleen Carroll Giles as its first female rector, according to NHPR. Giles is currently head of Middlesex School in Concord, Mass., and will start at St. Paul’s next July. In the meantime, the school’s board of directors hired Amy Richards as interim rector for the 2018-19 school year. Richards previously taught math at St. Paul’s and has spent the last 14 years as head of Crystal Springs Uplands School in California.

The leadership changes come after the retirement of Michael Hirschfeld, which he announced a year earlier than originally planned due to an “unusually painful time” for him, his family and the school. St. Paul’s is facing multiple lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct and abuse among faculty and students.

Scouting groups are going to start looking a lot different in the Granite State. For the first time in its 108-year history, the Boy Scouts of America will allow girls to join Cub Scout packs and Boy Scout troops. The organization has changed its name to “Scouts BSA” to acknowledge the shift and will begin allowing girls in grades K through 5 to enroll in Cub Scouts for this upcoming school year, while girls in middle and high school can start joining Boy Scouts in February 2019.

Before announcing the change, Scouts BSA already offered coed activities with its Venturing program. Primarily youth-led troops are open to anyone aged 14 to 21 and can focus on a wide range of activities.

However, the organization’s hallmark Cub Scout and Boy Scout programs have been exclusively open to boys since launching in America in 1910, though women can be adult leaders. That changed in October 2017, when the organization announced it would begin allowing girl enrollment.

“What we were learning is that many girls

were already enjoying activities at family scouting events,” said Jay Garee, scout executive and CEO of Daniel Webster Council in Manchester, which includes 10,500 registered youth and more than 4,000 adult volunteers across the state. “But while girls were invited to participate in these activities, they weren’t receiving the same recognition.

They couldn’t earn the same activity pins or badges because they weren’t scouts.”

Garee said he anticipates a seamless transition. Daniel Webster Council oversees eight districts across New Hampshire, and he said the organization’s various campgrounds and facilities are already well-equipped to handle the change in terms of adequate bathroom and shower facilities. Additionally, he said, the organization’s goals and values have always been universal.

“Our mission has always been to prepare young people to make ethical choices in their lives, and when you look at the Scout Oath and Law, there’s nothing gender-specific about them,” Garee said. “And if you look at our programming, there’s really nothing that would inhibit a girl from participating or that relates specifically to boys.”

According to Garee, Scouts BSA still believes there’s value in single-gender pro-

grams, and the change will be implemented in a way that reflects that. Boys and girls will be able to participate in coed activities at scout facilities and events, but they will camp separately with “adequate adult supervision from a youth protection standpoint.”

Girls will be allowed to join all-girl packs within Cub Scout dens, but there won’t be coed groups of girls and boys at regular scout meetings and den activities. Similarly, older girls will participate in all-girl troops.

“The key thing for us is making sure local charter organizations know they still have a choice,” said Garee. “Not every unit has to be a family scouting unit, and if a local unit wants to be pack just for boys, they can still do that.”

Girl Scouts alive and well

The change hasn’t affected the Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains in Bedford and Williston, Vt. The organization’s membership include about 10,287 girls and 4,921 adult volunteers, with about 75 percent being in New Hampshire and 60 to 65 percent living between Concord and the Seacoast.

“There are many people who made an assumption that we’ve gone away or that we’ve merged [with Scouts BSA], and that couldn’t be further from the truth,” said Tricia Mellor, CEO of the GSGWM. “Their decision doesn’t impact us and our work, except that it requires us to do a lot more clarification. We’re still committed to providing the

best program we can to help girls develop.”

The Girl Scouts also recognize the value of single-gender development programs, and Mellor said the GSGWM is committed to providing “girl-friendly safe spaces.” She said that history and trends prove girls thrive in an all-girl environment, but that doesn’t mean the organization is just offering “cookies and crafts.”

“There is an assumption that girls and females are doing these soft activities, and if they want to do ‘tomboy activities’ they need to go to an organization run by men to get that,” said Mellor. “I grew up in Girl Scouts, and yes, I sold cookies. But we’re proud of our iconic cookie sale, because it allows girls to raise funding to do the activities and community service projects they want to do.”

That includes a focus on a wide array of modern programs including STEM and entrepreneurial skills, with new badges for engineering, coding, robotics and more.

“Our 5-year-old scouts are in a different world than our 15-years-olds were at their age,” said Mellor. “We’re constantly innovating and coming up with new programs to fit girls’ interests.”

Mellor added that GSGWM is welcoming new girls now for the upcoming scouting year, which will begin around October depending on the troop. She added that enrollment has grown for three consecutive years and is trending towards a fourth year of growth in 2018.

Veteran lawyer takes the helm of state bar association

NEWS & NOTES Q&A

114759

Why did you decide to leave private practice after 40 years on the job?

It’s really goes back to why I became a lawyer. I went to law school to earn a living, but also to do something for the public good. It turned out that I spent most of my career in private practice, but I belong to a lot of organizations that provide services to the poor. This is an opportunity to do that full-time.

Why did you pursue law as a career?

In the small town I grew up in, lawyers in the county seat were important people and could change people’s lives. People came to lawyers because they had something really wrong in their lives. … I went to law school with a view of being able to be a positive force helping people get through difficulties, which is pretty much true for what my practice turned out to be and the hundreds of cases I’ve overseen.

What do you think will be the most interesting and challenging aspects of your new role?

The New Hampshire Bar Association is a mandatory organization in the sense that in order to practice law in New Hampshire, you need to be a member. We have about 8,000 members. By being a unified bar, there are programs we can run that people contribute to through dues. The challenge is making sure those dollars are spent wisely and as efficiently as possible. The bar has a whole division that provides legal service to people of limited means through a pro bono system. … Another focus of the association is to improve the lives and careers of lawyers and provide them with continued education and technology for their offices.

It’s a complex organization, and overseeing all these different programs is going to be both a challenge and a lot of fun.

public calling to do good through your knowledge of the law and help people who need resolution of conflict.

The citizens of New Hampshire benefit from a competent bar George Moore association, because that means the state’s lawyers know what they’re doing. … First and foremost, in the low-income spectrum, the bar organizes a pro bono program so private practitioners give a certain amount of their time each year to represent people who couldn’t otherwise afford a lawyer.

Whatever the issue is, many citizens end up getting a lawyer for nothing or a sharply reduced fee. … We provide continued legal education for our members. We host dozens of programs every year to keep lawyers up to date on case law so they can better represent folks. … We have a dispute resolution function, where people who aren’t happy with a lawyer’s services can come to the association so we can determine whether the fee charges were reasonable. We also have a citizen helpline where people can call in and get a referral to the type of lawyer they need.

In reading your bio, something that caught my eye was the fact you attended Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. What led you to attend the school?

The candid story is that in the late ’90s, I’d just gone through a divorce, and I decided to do something for myself and take a leave of absence. So after practicing law for about 20 years, a colleague and I went to Paris, got an apartment at the Hôtel Lévêque and enrolled in some courses for about four months. … It’s a great, intense How does the New Hampshire Bar Asso- school for dedicated chefs, not for people who want to have a couple glasses of ciation impact New Hampshire citizens?

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Salty streams

About 11 percent of streams in the Merrimack River watershed are impacted by high chloride concentrations due to road salt applied during winter, according to a study from the University of New Hampshire.

Salt concentrations can be highest in the summer and can cause harm to freshwater plants, invertebrates, amphibians and fish in the watershed.

The study found that high chloride concentration in the watershed’s larger rivers is driven by the dryness of the summer.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: New Hampshire’s congressional delegation recently announced that the Granite State received an $11.1 million grant through the Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. The fund provides resources to address drinking water needs related to public health and safety.

West Nile Virus

The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services identified a batch of mosquitoes in Manchester that tested positive for West Nile Virus, according to a news release. Of the 526 mosquito batches the department has tested for arboviruses this season, this is the first to test positive for WNV. Last year, nine mosquito batches and one human tested positive for the virus.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: According to the department, symptoms of West Nile Virus usually appear within a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito and can include flu-like illness such as fever, muscle aches, headaches and fatigue. A very small percentage of individuals infected can go on to develop more serious central nervous system disease, including meningitis or encephalitis.

Good schools

WalletHub ranked New Hampshire fourth in a 2018 study of the best and worst school systems in the country. The Granite State ranked in the top 10 for both of the study’s two main categories, including fourth for overall quality and seventh for overall safety. The study also placed New Hampshire in the top five for individual metrics, including highest reading test scores (third) and highest median ACT scores (tied for third with New York).

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The study ranked the majority of New England in the top five as well. Massachusetts topped the list with the best school systems in the country, followed by Connecticut in third and Vermont fifth.

Maine (13th) and Rhode Island (17th) still made it into the top 20.

New Hampshire’s congressional delegation announced that the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services will receive $140,000 from the EPA to address asbestos contamination in schools. dangers of asbestos exposure. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, who founded the founded the Congressional Asthma and Allergy Caucus in 2010, said in a statement, “Asbestos poses a significant public health risk, especially in the many older buildings in New Hampshire.”

It began long before he took office and we’ll be subjected to it long after he leaves office of his own accord in 2024 or is booted out by voters in 2020, or maybe by Congress if the much-discussed blue wave materializes in November.

Now if you’re like me you take “fake news” to actually mean anything unfavorable to our touchy, ego-soaked president.

And real news is the stuff he likes, much of which comes out of Fox News praising him as if he’s Gandhi. Those in the Trumpland disagree, believing instead he never gets a fair shake because the media is out to get him. In our region, where Donald Trump lost all six New England states, it’s fair to say there’s a considerable number of people who think the intense media scrutiny on Mr. Trump and his various shenanigans is a good thing.

I bring this up because Patriots fans in the scrutiny-is-good crowd are about to have their belief in the press’s freedom to cover tested by how their team is covered on two fronts. Not freedom as in free to do it, but freedom as in how they go about doing it.

And it will be interesting to see how they react to all media blanketing these Patriots stories in a way they have not done before.

That even includes Deflategate, where it was the local media defending the Patriots vs. a national media on the attack. Here, everyone has the same questions. So will Patriot Nation’s scrutiny-is-good crowd think the inquest is fair and right, as they do with Don Vito? Or, will they say “lighten up, it’s just sports, not something of real consequence”?

For the record, I think it’s just sports and that the sports media, especially Boston’s,

often turn molehills into Mt. Everest. Like last year’s David Price-Dennis Eckersley dust-up, in part because they like the Eck and don’t like Price, which, incidentally is a textbook example of “media bias” where the actual story covered is influenced by how reporters feel about a particular person.

The first story is the Super Bowl benching of Malcolm Butler. Yes, that was six months ago and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. But there was the Boston Globe’s Dan Shaughnessy peppering Bill Belichick with one question after another about the benching at his annual opening of training camp press conference. A question he’s answered about a million times already with the familiar grouchy “it gave us the best chance to win” response. You may not agree or believe it, but it’s a legitimate if not particularly satisfying answer.

Yet the questions persisted.

That was followed by an irritated Tom Brady shutting down his Q&A with, “That’s ridiculous, I’m done” after being asked if there’s any link between Julian Edelman’s PED suspension and guru Alex Guerrero. The abrupt shutdown was not a good look and gave notice Yoko Guerrero is brought up at your peril. More ominous, however, was that after an off-season of discontent, the infection caused by Guerrero’s presence hasn’t abated.

These are what you call distractions, the kinds of things behind why Coach B acts as he does with the media, which basically is to shut down the story before it can roar into a wildfire by giving as little information as possible. Take the Butler case. He knows a detailed explanation gets him hammered for making excuses or throwing Butler under the bus and re-ignites the “it cost us the SB” debate. All irrelevant to 2018.

Instead he gives a (usually) truthful but curt stock answer and the story becomes complaints about how he does business. Since, unlike the president, he doesn’t care what the media says about him, he leaves it there

and moves on to Cincinnati.

They’ll never get more out of Coach B than that, even with Shaughnessy treating it like it was a football equivalent of Trump’s subservient meeting with Vladimir Putin.

As for me, yes it was the Super Bowl and Butler may have made a difference, but after griping a bit, I add up the good on his ledger against the bad and move on.

As for Brady, the Trump-like walk-off to the Edelman-Guerrero query is not a good sign. He’s got to come up with a better way of handling that, because after the rumors and an ESPN story looking more on target by the day, those questions are not going away. Especially if he’s not quickly on the same page with all the new receivers after his off-season act, or Jimmy G flourishes after TB-12 allegedly helped push him out. All of which will be magnified by his being 41. And if he continues with the never-seen-before surly attitude, a guy who has gotten nothing but the kind of loving coverage Trump yearns for, he’ll face a far more intrusive kind he’s never dealt with before, putting the pressure on him.

I always downplay the hysteria that comes with following Boston sports. But for once I don’t think the story is, ah, trumped up.

There’s something going on, and with Gronk clearly on TB’s side and Edelman in the Guerrero camp, if the Coach B-Brady fractures widens it has a chance to split the team, putting this season under the greatest peril since Brady went down in Game 1 of 2008.

So here’s the question for the scrutiny-isgood crowd. With your favorite team under the microscope instead of a president you don’t like, what is the media’s job? Cover it with the usual sky-is-falling hysteria and juice every embarrassing detail like TMZ as if it’s another Watergate, or cover it with the perspective of its relative importance to everyday life?

Oh, and if the results are ugly — will you call it fake news? Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress.com.

TIPS FOR PRESERVING FRESH PRODUCE PLUS WHAT’S IN SEASON NOW AND WHERE YOU CAN GET IT

Salt and vinegar tips

How to pickle, ferment and freeze for fresh and flavorful produce

By Scott Murphy

smurphy@hippopress.com

In many New Hampshire communities, finding fresh, local produce is as easy as driving down to the nearest farm or farmers market — but it’s often a seasonal convenience. That’s why properly preserving food — by freezing, pickling or fermenting — is a great way to have fresh veggies year-round.

Pros and cons of freezing

Anyone with a refrigerator is already equipped for the easiest form of food preservation. Keeping food cold to last longer has been around since the invention of the icebox, and it’s a simple way to ensure you don’t miss an expiration date and let produce go to waste.

“If you want to eat local foods seasonally, then you’d better find a way to preserve it if you want to eat it in the winter,” said Roger Noonan, owner of Middle Branch Farm in New Boston. “If you have the freezer space, then freezing is a good, easy way to do that.”

Of course, anyone who’s played Tetris with the packages and containers in their freezer knows that space can be a (not so) hot commodity. And unlike other forms of food preservation, a freezer only works as long as its power supply is working too.

“Freezers have limited space, and if your power goes out, then you can lose all your food,” said Anna Muncy, marketing and membership manager at Local Harvest CSA in Concord. “It’s important to research what needs to be frozen immediately, like bell peppers, and what can be put off until it can’t sit in the pantry anymore, like onions and garlic.”

That depends a lot on a food’s water content, according to Dave Bressler, culinary HIPPO | AUGUST 2 - 8, 2018 | PAGE 12

arts instructor for the Wilbur H. Palmer Career and Technical Education Center at Alvirne High School in Hudson. Vegetables like squash and mushrooms have a high water content, and if you freeze them while they’re fresh, they’ll lose most of their moisture when they thaw out.

Bressler said frozen vegetables like this are best saved for the end of food preparation, such as adding them to a soup right when it’s almost done cooking.

He also noted that cutting vegetables in advance is key.

“The integrity of your cut will be there, which might not be easy to do when you’re trying to cut a full frozen carrot,” he said.

Muncy added that frozen produce won’t always retain its texture after it’s been thawed, which is why she prepares food to be frozen in specific ways. With zucchini, for example, she shreds it and removes excess moisture before putting it into the freezer, which make it ideal to pull out later for baking or adding to a soup or pho.

Additionally, she said greens like spinach, kale and chard freeze well and are easy to take out and sauté for a dish, which is ideal since most people will end up sautéing these types of greens anyway.

Have a good brine

For a more traditional and creative form of preservation, pickling allows home cooks to extend the shelf life of produce.

The simple process of combining vinegar, produce and heat opens the door for a variety of different flavor combinations.

“It’s really not what can you pickle, but rather, what do you want to try pickling?” said Muncy. “It just depends on what you do and don’t want to eat. You can pickle summer squash, for example, but I can’t say that’s my favorite thing.”

The pickling process is a bit involved,

which is why Joy Currier of Currier Orchards in Merrimack recommends having your ingredients, recipe and equipment laid out before getting started. Muncy noted that while most pickling involves cooking and canning vegetables in a vinegar-based brine, there are a lot of different recipes and flavors people can try out.

Generally, pickling involves cutting cucumbers or other vegetables and soaking them in a saltwater bath before placing them in an airtight container with brine and seasoning. Currier recommended using glass pint jars and cleaning them thoroughly with soap and water to remove any oil or debris.

Pressure canners can be used to set specific heat, time and pressure levels, but Currier uses a traditional hot water bath method. After moderately tightening the container, bring a large pot filled three-quarters of the way with water to a boil and then submerge the jar for about 10 minutes. Place the jar on a wire cookie rack with towels underneath to absorb excess water. The contents will stop boiling after another 10 or 15 minutes, and when the jar is completely cool, close the container tightly until the top snaps shut.

Muncy said pickled vegetables can last as long as three to four years, and she’s only had pickled food spoil because of mistakes in the pickling process. She also added that pickling and canning in large quantities is a much smarter use of time and energy.

“It’s really inefficient to can one or two jars at a time, because you’re heating up a big pot of water every time you’re canning stuff,” she said. “It takes pretty much just as long to can one jar as it does eight, and the energy costs are about the same too. You’re just doing a little bit more at one time.”

A centuries old tradition

Fermenting foods is an even more timetested form of food preservation, and a method many claim to have health benefits.

Early records of fermentation date back as much as 7,000 years, though the practice was largely replaced with standard pickling during the Industrial Revolution when more people had access to stoves.

“What seem to be ‘trending’ foods nowadays have actually been around for thousands and thousands of years,” said Stephanie Zydenbos, founder of Micro Mama’s in Weare, which produces a variety of fermented vegetables. “Foods like Cucumber Chunk Pickles Courtesy of Ann Fifield of Canterbury 1½ quarts cubed cucumbers 2 large onions, sliced Salt water bath 1 quart water 3 tablespoons salt Pickling brine 1½ cup sugar ¼ cup flour 1½ teaspoons celery seeds 1½ teaspoon mustard seeds 1½ teaspoon turmeric 1 cup vinegar 1 cup water Combine water and salt and soak cucumbers for three hours.

massaged before being packed into an airtight container with a proportional amount of salt, about a quarter cup for every five pounds of vegetables. Zydenbos recommends using a high-quality salt like pink Himalayan salt and avoiding iodized salt, which will rot vegetables instead of fermenting them. There should also be about an inch of headspace for air at the top of the content in the jar.

From there, time and temperature do the rest. Zydenbos said the starches and sugars in vegetables will break down and proliferate lactic acid naturally found in the plants and soil it grew in. The container should be kept in a pantry or cupboard with a temperature below 65 degrees for between a week and a month or longer, depending on the size of the container.

The final product should clock in with a pH level of 3.75 or below, which can be tested with instruments like a Hanna pH Checker.

Brookford Farm in Canterbury prepares and preserves several sauerkrauts made with beets, jalapenos and kohlrabi, as well as a hot sauce with carrots and beets, a hot tomato sauce, a ketchup and other products. Catarina Mahoney, owner and creamery manager, said fermented foods are “high in probiotics and enzymes, and it’s a natural way to help you digest food better,” she said.

According to Zydenbos, that’s because fermentation makes food more nutritionally dense and also acts as a catalyst for absorbing nutrients from other foods. For example, topping a cheeseburger with fermented vegetables can make the nutrients more viable for digestion and allow the body to better take in what the burger has to offer.

In terms of taste, Bressler said pickled and fermented vegetables complement fatty foods like meats and cheeses, which bring out different flavors from sweet or savory dishes.

sauerkraut used to be a necessity in places like Poland, Germany and Eastern Europe.

Cabbage was easy to grow and produced a lot of food.”

The main difference between fermentation and pickling is all about bacteria. Whereas pickling kills all bacteria, Zydenbos said fermentation creates an environment that removes harmful bacteria while also allowing good bacteria and probiotics to grow and maximize vitamins and minerals.

Whether you’re buying preserved foods at farmers markets or preparing the recipes yourself, canning means never having to go without fresh fruits and vegetables.

“The real purpose of canning is to deseasonalize, and to be able to say, ‘I don’t need to worry about when I want it,’” said Brandon Sussman of Webster Ridge Farm, who regularly cans several types of jams, jellies and sauces, in addition to vegetables.

The basics

Most canned foods, when stored at the appropriate temperatures — between 50 and 70 degrees, according to Ann Hamilton, a food safety specialist for the UNH Cooperative Extension who teaches classes on canning — maintain their quality for about a year to 18 months if you follow the recipe correctly. If you’re new to canning, Sussman said, starting with a single peren-

nial fruit or combination of fruits for a jam or jelly is one of the most simple recipes.

The process becomes more complicated as more ingredients are required.

There are several methods of canning depending on what foods you are working with, according to Hamilton. Hot water bath canning, or the process of submerging glass jars in boiling water before adding the prepared recipe you’re going to preserve, is done with most fruits used to make jams and jellies, as well as pickles and other acidic vegetables. She said low-acid or non-acid vegetables, meats and other foods require the use of a pressure canner.

“The biggest difference is you would use the boiling water method for high-acid items. The boiling water temperature of 212 degrees is enough to kill the spores of yeast and mold and form a really good seal on the jar,” Hamilton said. “Anything lowacid, such as veggies like carrots, beets, green beans, corn … have to be pressure canned at 240 to 250 degrees.”

Selling what you can

Bread and butter pickles

If you’re looking for ways to commercially sell your own canned fruits and vegetables, New Hampshire has a few different ways to obtain licenses.

According to Colleen Smith, an administrator for the food protection section of the New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services, one of these is called a homestead food operation license. Applications are available at dhhs.nh.gov. Before you receive your license, Smith said, your product has to undergo a commercial process review to determine its safety.

“UNH unfortunately doesn’t have that ability to do what’s called a process review of a canned food, so most people will generally get that vetting process done at UMaine, or some people will choose to go to Cornell [University],” she said. “Depending on their backlog, it could take a couple of weeks to a month to get the results for the review.”

That license is limited to non-potentially hazardous food items, Smith said. For the sale of canning much more acidic foods such as pickles, a commercial food processing license is required.

“The magic number for the pH is 4.6.

Once you’re doing foods that are above that level, those products require a process review and must be made in a commercial kitchen,” Smith said.

She said each license is issued annually, but there are 15 cities and towns in New Hampshire that are self-inspecting, meaning they have health officers you must contact before trying to obtain a license. A full list of the towns and their officers is available at dhhs.nh.gov.

Cut 1/16 inch off blossom end and discard. Cut cucumbers into 3/16-inch rings. Combine cucumbers and onions in a large bowl. Add salt. Cover with two inches of crushed or cubed ice. Refrigerate for three to four hours, adding more ice as needed.

To make pickles Combine remaining ingredients in a large pot. Boil for about 10 minutes. Add well-drained cucumbers and onions and slowly reheat to boiling. Fill pint or quart jars with slices, leaving ½-inch headspace. Fill to ½ inch from top of the jar with hot cooking liquid. Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rims. Adjust lids. Process pints or quarts for 10 minutes in boiling water canner. After processing and cooling, jars should be stored for four to five weeks before use to develop ideal flavor.

How to can

Hamilton said she recommends using Mason jars or large glass jars for hot water bath canning, completely submerged over a steel rack with one to inches of water on top.

“You don’t want to have the jars directly on the bottom or they can break in the heat,” she said. “You want the water to flow around them, so it’s important to have a rack, or some people will tie together lids to make a rack on the bottom.”

Diane Souther of Apple Hill Farm in

Concord, which cans a large variety of fruits grown on the farm for jams and jellies, said the jars should be sterilized before using, and that the recipe should be followed exactly.

“It’s also important when you’re using fruit not use something that’s super ripe,” she said.

In fact, Sussman said using fruit that is underripe is often beneficial.

“There are a lot of recipes where you’ll do better a little underripe, because the ripeness 16

destroys pectin, so it could be at the peak of when you want to eat it fresh,” he said.

According to Hamilton, the purpose of heating the jars maintains the consistency of the temperature and helps to avoid any breakage.

Once the jars are submerged, they stay in the water while you prepare the recipe for what you fill them with, Sussman said. After the recipe is mixed and the jars have reached the boiling point, he said, the next step — the act of pouring the material into them — should be done as quickly as possible. You can lower the heat a little while doing this, Hamilton said.

“You take the jars out … and put them on your counter in a way that you’re going to be able to fill them,” Sussman said. “Funnels are pretty much necessary. There are special canning funnels that are very wide at the bottom and wider at the top.”

After the jars are filled and sealed, they are then placed back into the submerged

water for between 15 and 20 more minutes.

“One trick that we’ve learned a couple of years ago is you don’t lift [the jars] out of the water immediately,” Sussman said. “What you do is you turn off the flame and let them sit in the hot water for five minutes to cool down.”

It’s very important, Sussman said, to label each jar and to keep track of every single thing you’ve ever canned.

“Don’t depend on being able to figure it out,” he said.

According to Hamilton, pressure canners typically cost between $90 and $200. They are used to kill botulinum spores that cause botulism in vegetables, and should be tested on an annual basis for their accuracy.

“If you follow the directions of the process of how to use the pressure canner correctly, it’s a safe procedure,” she said. “People say they have problems when they try to force the canner to cool by running water over it, but you have to let it come on its own.”

85th annual Craftsmen’s Fair returns to Mount Sunapee

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

For many artisans in the Granite State, the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s Annual Craftsmen’s Fair is the culmination of a year of hard work, and the biggest opportunity they have to display, demonstrate and sell their crafts.

“I’m at the point in my life where I’ve been trying to figure out how to take [my craft] to the next level,” said first-year craft vendor Hethre Larivee of Milford. “Putting myself out there in front of people is not something I’ve done in the past, so I’m excited to make connections with people and see how a larger audience interacts and responds to my work.”

Now in its 85th year, the nine-day outdoor fair takes place Saturday, Aug. 4, through Sunday, Aug. 12, at Mount Sunapee Resort in Newbury. It will feature 350 craftspeople, 200 of whom will have their own vendor booths. The others will participate through special craft exhibitions, a cooperative shop, demonstrations and hands-on workshops.

“It’s a very special opportunity for people to see how crafts are made and meet incredibly talented people who make beautiful work in New Hampshire,” Miriam Carter, executive director of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, said. “You can take home something that was made by an individual that you met and connected with, and you will always remember that person.”

A variety of contemporary and traditional crafts will be represented at the fair, including baskets, calligraphy, glassware, ceramics and pottery, printmaking, folk art, furniture, quilts, fiber arts, metal, leather, mixed media, musical instruments, photography, jewelry and more.

functional and narrative glass pieces, including ornaments, jewelry, straws and sculptures, which she creates by hand using a flameworking method with a torch as opposed to using a furnace like traditional glassblowers.

“I find inspiration wherever I go, in the things I see around me, in conversations, sometimes social issues, and sometimes just shapes,” she said. “I focus on form, color and texture, and I like to try different combinations and see how they fit together.”

Another participating craftsperson, Katherine Rudolph of Nashua, creates metal jewelry, primarily with sterling silver and 18k gold, adding pops of color with precious stones. It ranges from easy-to-wear, everyday jewelry to wearable sculptural art that serves as a conversation piece. Her inspiration, she said, comes from architectural forms.

“When looking to the skyline, I enjoy iso-

lating specific buildings and deconstructing them with an interest in understanding their logic and order. The smallest architectural details don’t go overlooked,” Rudolph said. “One of the primary challenges is the reinterpretation of these architectural references in the scale of jewelry and the body.”

The “Next Generation” tent will feature the work of young craftspeople ages 12 through 19 who are mentored by the League’s juried members.

“That’s one of my favorite spots at the fair,” Carter said. “The kids get to manage their own little booth and their sales. It’s a way for them to learn about what we do and explore their creativity.”

In addition to the vendors, there will be three fine craft exhibitions with pieces available for purchase or order. “Living with Craft” will feature more than 200 pieces of handcrafted furniture, light fixtures, prints, rugs and accessories. “CraftWear” will feature a wide selection of handcraft-

ed wearable art, including traditional and avant-garde jewelry, clothing and accessories, as well as children’s apparel. The “Sculpture Garden” exhibition will have items for a garden or lawn, like sculptures, pottery and outdoor accessories.

Daily craft demonstrations will include traditional blacksmithing, fly tying, decoy carving, spoon carving, rug braiding and hooking, stained glass, needle felting, broom making, book binding, pewtersmithing, printmaking on an 18th-century printing press and more.

Visitors can participate in a variety of hands-on workshops, including leatherworking, stone chip carving, printmaking, tea bag book making and more.

New this year, there will also be live music every day, a New Hampshire craft beer and wine garden and a tasting tent with specialty food vendors, including Fuller’s Sugarhouse, King Arthur Flour, Popzup Popcorn and others.

“We wanted to be more inclusive and offer a broader range of things of interest to people this year,” Carter said, “and we believe that food and craft beer is comparable to beautiful crafts.”

The fair attracts around 25,000 people, Carter said, and is one of the largest and most iconic events in the state.

“Every year, there’s something new and unique,” she said. “It’s creativity at its best.”

85th annual Craftsmen’s Fair When: Saturday, Aug. 4, through Sunday, Aug. 12, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., each day Where: Mount Sunapee Resort, 1398 Route 103, Newbury Cost: $15 for general admission and $13 for seniors and military Visit: nhcrafts.org

Kids will have a new place to tinker, create and play when the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord unveils its Discovery Lab on Friday, Aug. 3.

The Discovery Lab will be a permanent space at the Discovery Center, installed near the planetarium entrance in the gallery currently housing the “Riding the Waves of History” exhibit. It will feature rotating, hands-on activities that foster creative problem-solving and team-building skills and perseverance.

“We’ve been wanting to add a making space for a while now, since we’ve seen how successful they are at other institutions,” Sarah Hoffschwelle, director of education, said.

“We’re excited to provide this environment of innovation and discovery, where kids can come learn about STEM in a fun way.”

The space, which measures around 1,000 square feet, will have 12 to 15 personal workstations for the kids, plus plenty of room for parents to accompany. It can also accommodate school and community groups.

There will be at least two at activities at one time for kids age 8 and older, plus a more simplistic engineering activity, like building blocks, for younger kids.

Oh how I love the sunny weather we’ve had this summer! It reminds me of the years I spent as a young man working with the Peace Corps in West Africa. There were often 7 or 8 months of sunshine between rainy seasons.

Like there, we need to do some watering if we want to keep our tomatoes happy and healthy.

The best judge of plant water-needs is your eyes. Yes, a finger in the soil will tell a lot, but learning to judge a thirsty plant by the looks of the leaves is an important skill. A thirsty plant has leaves that are dull-looking and a little limp. By the time lettuce or leafy greens collapse they are in deep trouble, so pay attention.

I like watering with a watering wand. It is a 30-inch aluminum extension to my hose, with a “rose” or nozzle at the end. By regulating a valve on it you can adjust how much water flows. I walk down the rows of my vegetable garden giving drinks to the tomatoes and lettuce, but not watering the leaves or walkways. Much more efficient than using an overhead sprinkler that waters everything.

And it’s very gentle.

It’s not too late to plant seeds. Even if you plant in early August, you have all of August, September and half of October to grow things like lettuce, beans, broccoli and even some annual flowers. It’s true, for example, that most carrots are 75 days, but some are just 55 to 60. Same for broccoli. Dig out an old seed catalog and look carefully at how many days are needed to reach maturity. We still have at least 75 days of frost-free weather, under normal conditions.

Seeds germinate more quickly now than in the spring because the soil is warm. Just be sure to water every day until they are of a size that can survive a little dryness. Mulching is good to help hold water in the soil.

This year I planted my tomatoes, or most of them, farther apart than I usually do. That, along with the dry weather, has contributed to the nearly disease-free leaves on my tomatoes. Early blight, which turns leaves yellow, brown, then black, has not been much of a problem for me.

If you see tomato leaves yellowing up, cut them off. Open up the bushes by cutting off any branches that are growing in a downward direction, or into the middle of the plant.

Those never produce fruit anyway. By cutting them off, you reduce chances of disease spreading and open the middle of the bush to more sunshine. And when a plant gets tall enough, cut off the tips of growing branches to keep it a manageable size, even if it means cutting off a few flower buds.

I contain my tomatoes in cages. I get the 54-inch-tall ones, with four legs. They are

expensive: $7 or $8 each, but worth the money as they last 20 years or so. Of course it’s too late now to cage your plants. But branches of tomatoes lying on the ground are very susceptible to diseases, even if you put down hay for them to lie on.

If your tomatoes are growing out of control and are outside their cages, you have to get to work: tie the recalcitrant branches to the outside of the cages. I like strips of old bed sheets, as they are very soft and much better than twine. I also use green plastic tie-up material sold on rolls. The strips come in halfand three-quarter-inch-wide rolls.

You can also tie tomato stems to grade stakes. These are hardwood stakes that come as 4- to 6-foot stakes. Push them into your soil, then smack them a few times with a sledge or ordinary hammer. These are good, too, to keep cages from tipping over if you have a heavy load of tomatoes. One word of caution: if you want to work on your tomatoes, only do so when the leaves are dry.

Fungal diseases spread more easily when wet.

Many of us get lackadaisical in late summer. August is a hot month, and often humid.

Plants are established, and less likely to get elbowed out by weeds, so we don’t always pay attention to weeds. But we should. We never want to let weeds go to seed.

Around the edges of my garden I recently notice lots of 3- to 5-foot-tall weeds loaded with seeds. I dug many, using a garden fork to loosen the soil. But when I’m in a hurry, sometimes I just cut off the tall stalks and their seed heads. I always do that with purple loosestrife near my brook, as the roots systems on a mature plant are impossible to pull out. Cutting off the stems helps to prevent the spread of that invasive weed. Don’t put stems with seeds in the compost pile.

On those days when my list of tasks in the garden seems to get longer, not shorter, I like to pause and remember that gardening is supposed to be fun, not a chore. If I don’t get those weeds pulled today, or my tomatoes pruned, I can do it tomorrow. It’s OK to sit in an Adirondack chair and admire the scenery — even if there are chores to do.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, I have an antique trunk; it’s in great condition, with the original paper inside. It needs hinges in the back; the ones in the front are fine. I would like to receive an estimate and hear your thoughts please.

Kristen Dear Kristen, Personally, I like the trunk; they are great for storage. The fact is, though, that because they were used in a time needed for traveling, there are lots around.

Your piece is called a steamer trunk and they have been around since the 1800s.

They were used for traveling on trains, boats, really any type of travel back then.

They come in a variety of sizes. They come in domed and flat tops.

Because there were so many around and they can be easily found today, the value on them is low. Even those in great condition with all the hardware, original paper and decorations only bring it up to $100 (unless it is a rare form and in great condition).

Kristen, yours missing the back hinges decreases the value. Also, because it has the dome top it is less desirable than the flat top because it is more difficult to utilize for decorative purposes such as a coffee

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Sheared off lug nuts likely due to overtightening by air wrench Dear Car Talk: Did power tools cause a lot of problems when first used to tighten lug nuts?

We were with Mom in the 1972 VW Van and heard a loud clunking

By Ray Magliozzi on the front passenger side. Mom pulled over, and we removed the hubcap to find one lonely lug nut in place — the rest had sheared off! Was it an overtightening problem? — Theresa Probably. Unless it was an ex-boyfriend problem.

It is hard to control the torque (twisting power) of air-powered impact wrenches. And — as you would expect — most mechanics preferred to err by making them too tight rather than too loose. But as you and Mom learned, too tight isn’t so good either. They can be tightened so much that they stretch the lug bolts themselves, and weaken them to the point where they can break off.

You’re lucky you stopped when you did, because those VW Vans didn’t run very well on three wheels. They regularly crossed the country on three cylinders, but not on three wheels.

HIPPO | AUGUST 2 - 8, 2018 | PAGE 32

Now there are things called “torque sticks” that help prevent overtightening.

Each torque stick is rated for a certain amount of torque. It goes between the air wrench and the lug nut. And once it reaches its maximum torque, it starts to slip, which limits the amount of force that can be applied to the lug nut.

Torque sticks work well — as long as the mechanic uses them. And as long as he doesn’t keep hammering away at the lug nut after the stick starts slipping. Our guys often will put a torque wrench on a couple of random lug nuts after they’re tightened, just to check that they’re tightened correctly.

A torque wrench measures how tight the lug nuts are. So if a lug nut is supposed to be tightened to, say, 85 foot-pounds, and the torque wrench says it took 300 foot-pounds to remove it, the mechanic knows that something’s wrong. But we see less of that these days, because we’ve actually switched over to batterypowered tools.

The great advantage of battery-powered tools, at first, was that you could reach into places that a bulky air wrench just couldn’t reach. And you didn’t have to worry about dragging the air hose into

these little spaces along with you. But we also discovered that it’s much easier to control the torque on a battery-powered impact wrench.

They’re not perfect. If we come across a lug nut that’s been really overtightened by some animal at another shop (or by one of the animals at our shop), sometimes the battery-powered wrench just doesn’t have enough torque to get it off. Then we have to drag out the air wrench to remove it.

But we use battery-powered wrenches exclusively for lug nuts now. And you’ll be glad to know we haven’t sheared off a lug bolt in days, Theresa!

Dear Car Talk: My Honda dealer says the valves on my 2013 Honda Accord should be adjusted.

As I write this, the car is about to hit the 100,000-mile mark. Do I really need to pay $150-$200 to adjust the valves? And how come my dealer also says I don’t have to replace the timing belt (not that I’m complaining)? Thanks. — Steve Yes, you do have to adjust the valves, Steve. And $150 to $200 is the right price.

This is a problem that seems to be unique to Honda: Honda’s valves have a tendency to get too tight. On most cars,

valves get looser over the years and start to clatter. But Honda valves tighten up, so you don’t get any warning noise.

Hondas are prone to something called “valve seat recession” (I’m sure we all remember the great valve seat recession of 2008): The constant pounding of the valves into the valve seats actually drives the valves further into the cylinder head.

Over time, that movement causes the valves to tighten up.

The danger is that if you don’t adjust the valves, the valves stop closing completely. Then the hot combustion gases can sneak by a valve and burn the edges of it.

We mechanics call that “burning a valve.”

Fixing it requires a valve job, which we mechanics call “a boat payment.”

So it’s well worth a couple of hundred bucks to adjust the valves, even though nothing seems to be wrong. And most likely, this will be the only time you’ll ever have to do it. Because by the time this car has 200,000 miles on it, you’ll probably be driving a 2023 Accord.

And the reason you don’t need to replace your timing belt, Steve, is because your Accord doesn’t have a timing belt — it has a timing chain.

A fermented beverage made from honey, water and yeast — and sometimes also containing fruits, hops, syrups or spices — mead is considered to be one of the oldest alcoholic drinks in the world, its production going back at least several thousand years. On Saturday, Aug. 4, each commercial mead maker in the Granite State will observe Mead Day in its own way, by offering special tastings and releases, mead-making demonstrations, giveaways, classes and more.

The American Homebrewers Association has declared Mead Day to be the first Saturday in August since 2002. The day was created to educate people and to increase awareness on the production of mead, according to Michael Fairbrother of Moonlight Meadery in Londonderry.

“We still get people who come in all the time who either had no idea what mead is, or read about or heard about it from ancient stories but never thought it was real,” Fairbrother said, adding that Moonlight Meadery produces more than 100 different types of mead that range from dry to semi-sweet to sweet. “As one of the premier mead makers in the country, we tend to embrace [Mead Day].”

Fairbrother said Moonlight Meadery has offered tastings on special limited meads in the past for Mead Day, as well as classes and demonstrations on mead making. This year, two classes are planned: an introductory class at 10 a.m. on the basic practices of mead making, and an advanced class at noon on how to make caramelized bochet mead.

The newest meadery in New Hampshire, Ancient Fire Mead & Cider is celebrating its first Mead Day this year since its grand opening in Manchester earlier this year. But it’s not the first time co-owner Jason Phelps has celebrated the day.

“We’ve been members of the American Homebrewers Association for a number of years, and the last couple of years, we’ve used Mead Day … as a way to get people together before we opened to celebrate what we were doing,” said Phelps, who opened Ancient Fire with his wife Margot in March. “Mead is not well-known, so it’s a great way to socialize mead a bit more and to kind of celebrate it as its own thing.”

Phelps will make a 50-gallon batch of a farm-style dry hopped session mead with three opportunities at noon, 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. for the public to watch inside Ancient Fire’s production area. Then at 3 p.m.,

members of the Capital Area Beekeepers Association in Concord will be on hand to speak about the role of the beekeeper and how bees produce honey.

“We’re not beekeepers, and we’ve had people ask us questions beyond our experience, so we wanted to bring someone in to be able to answer those questions,” Phelps said.

Additionally, Ancient Fire is going to be offering honey samples, growler discounts and giveaways on branded glassware and hats.

“I think our overall mission is to … create an opportunity for people to learn more about mead than just ‘this product I keep hearing about,’” Phelps said.

Willow St., Building No. 1, Unit 7-2, Manchester, 203-4223, ancientfirewines.com) will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mead Day and will have a full schedule of events. Co-owner and mead maker Jason Phelps will lead three demonstrations on mead production at noon, 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. that will be open to the public for viewing. At 3 p.m., the Concord-based Capital Area Beekeepers Association will visit to give a talk on what beekeeping entails, how a bee produces honey and how it takes care of its hive, which will be followed by a Q&A session. There will also be new keg tappings, drawings throughout the day on giveaways such as Ancient Fire-branded hats and glassware, and samples of honeys on the honey tasting bar. Ancient Fire will also offer 10 percent off on growler fills for all its meads and ciders on Mead Day. Hermit Woods Winery (72 Main St., Meredith, 253-7968, hermitwoods.com) will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mead Day and will offer a special tasting menu of nearly a dozen meads produced from 2012 to 2017. Among them will be the 2015 Red Scare (made with whole, wild blueberries, organic blackberries and raspberries and honey) and the 2014 Kiwi Melomel (made with organic kiwi berries, autumn berries and honey). Coowner Bob Manley said guests will have a choice to sample from the mead tasting lineup, the regular tasting lineup, or both. Tastings are $10 per person and include your choice of six wines or meads to taste. The cost is $18 to sample from both the regular and special tasting lineups. Tastings will include a souvenir glass. Winemaker Ken Hardcastle will also be

offering a pre-release sample of a new mead using honey harvested from his own hives in 2017.

Moonlight Meadery (23 Londonderry Road, No. 17, Londonderry, 216-2162, moonlightmeadery.com) will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mead Day. In addition to offering regular tours and tastings, two special mead making sessions are planned. An introductory class on fundamental practices for mead making will be held at 10 a.m., followed by an advanced class on how to produce a caramelized bochet mead with burnt honey. A mead pairing dinner and public educational tours on honeybees are also being planned for Aug. 18 to celebrate National Honeybee Day. Visit the website or call for updates.

Sap House Meadery (6 Folsom Road, Ossipee, 539-1672, saphousemeadery.com) will be open from 1 to 8 p.m. on Mead Day. They’ll be offering 20-percent-off discounts on all meads at the shop and online throughout the day, with the exception of canned products, and will also be offering $1 off flights in the tasting room. Co-owner Matt Trahan said this Mead Day, Sap House will have the largest selection of meads they’ve ever had at one time, including several new varieties such as Smokey Pete (a mead made by infusing smoke using a vacuum pump and then aged in a Laphroaig scotch barrel for eight months), Blueberry Pie (a mead made with local blueberries and toasted oats) and Matilda (a traditional mead made with a coriander honey and aged in cabernet sauvignon barrels). The newly released canned hard honey cider and raspberry jam session meads will also be available.

When Revival Kitchen & Bar owner and head chef Corey Fletcher sat down with his sous chef to create a special benefit dinner menu for the Rock On Foundation in Concord, he had the summer season in mind.

“Being farm-to-table, we tried to anticipate what local vendors would have for the first week of August,” he said.

The result is a multi-course custom dinner that will be held at the restaurant on Tuesday, Aug. 7. Each course is paired with a beer from the Concord Craft Brewing Co., and the brewery will also feature a special brew release for the occasion.

Fletcher said the first course will feature several variations of corn like corn mousse, charred corn and corn cheddar crackers with butter that will be paired with the brewery’s Kapitol Kolsch. The second course, a small plate-style dish of Maine blue mussels with heirloom cherry tomatoes, tomato beer broth, basil and house pepperoni, will be paired with the Safe Space New England IPA. “We decided to add a little spice to hold up to the hops [in the beer], and that’s where the pepperoni comes into play,” Fletcher said, “and for us, the mussels just screamed summer.”

That will be followed with what Fletcher called “a play on frank and beans” — a venison hot dog made in-house with maple baked yellow eye beans and a juniper herb brown bread. That will be paired with The Gov’nah, an imperial IPA, he said.

The dessert course will feature the brewery’s Town Pound Porter poured over ginger ice cream and a house-made doughnut.

“We’re doing it kind of as a root beer float, but calling it ‘root and beer,’” Fletcher said. “The ice cream comes from Granite State Candy [Shoppe]. That’s the ‘root’ part of the dish, and then we’ll be making a chocolate doughnut with it. There’s some chocolate malt in the porter, so it’s a nice tie-in with a similar flavor profile.”

According to Concord Craft Brewing Co. co-owner Dennis Molnar, the beers chosen for each meal pairing were meant to begin with something a little less flavorful before building up a little in flavor with each brew.

He said the special release for the dinner will be similar to the Safe Space, but with stronger fruity flavors.

“The Safe Space … is an IPA [with] hops that are added almost entirely in the fermenter, so it’s not bitter but rather picks up secondary fruit aromas and flavors that the hops have,” Molnar said. “The special release is going to have peaches and mango added in the dry hop phase.”

Luke Bonner, executive director of the Rock On Foundation, said the funds raised from the dinner benefit programming throughout the year. The dinner will be followed by the Rock On Festival on Main Street in Concord on Aug. 10 and Aug. 11, which will feature live music, basketball tournaments, local vendors and more. The foundation works to promote the arts and athletics across the state by reducing financial barriers in those fields.

Medjool dates

Live Entertain every Fridment & Saturd ay ay

If you’re not enjoying dates on a regular basis, you’re missing out. I’m not talking a romantic outing (although the sentiment still applies); I’m talking about the glorious Middle Eastern fruit. Grown on trees in bunches, dates are sugary sweet and can seriously improve your life.

When it comes to any date, don’t judge a book by its cover. Dates look sort of like giant raisins or plumper prunes — not like the sweetness overload they truly are. Their skins are slightly shriveled and they contain pits that need to be removed before eating. Originating in the Middle East, dates remain a staple of the Mediterranean diet.

They grow on date palms and are a great source of carbohydrates.

According to Men’s Journal, dates are a perfect workout fuel because they’re loaded with potassium and contain slowburning carbs. Eat them before a workout

for energy and after one to help with recovery. They’re a perfect sweetener and truly are nature’s treat.

I’ve been avoiding processed foods for a long time and, no joke, dates taste like candy to me.

Medjool dates are the best, for certain.

They are larger, which means more flavor and more sweetness. They’re also fairly easy to find at most stores. Trader Joe’s has a great variety but my guess is your local grocery store has a selection. While they’re sold on the shelves, be sure to refrigerate them after opening.

With the very hot summer weather still here, I have been enjoying white wine only lately. I know before long fall will be here and I will bring out the red wine again, so I am enjoying the season. Here are a few white wine picks for summer you will want to enjoy well-chilled.

The first is Blanc de Bleu Cuvee Mousseux, which is a sparkling wine from California. This is a wine you need to see to appreciate, as it has a bright blue hue that is almost electric. It is made with chardonnay and blueberries, which give it this distinct color. If you are expecting blue raspberry notes, you’ll be disappointed.

I liked this wine. I didn’t find it to be that different from other sparkling wines on the palate and did not taste blueberries either, but found it to be crisp, dry and easy on the finish. However, the bottle is very nice and the wine in the glass is very pretty, so it would make a great gift. While it sounds fancy, you can purchase it for under $20, so it is not only kind of unique, but also affordable. It pairs well with light appetizers and sushi.

I had it with cheese and crackers. You can purchase it at New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets.

In contrast, I next tried The Seeker, a riesling from Mosel, Germany. The Seeker wines are from all over the world, named for the winemakers’ quests to find the best grapes. Germany is known for riesling, but they vary in styles from very dry to sweet.

This riesling was grown in fine, mineral-rich slate soil where the growing conditions are prime for grapes.

According to The Seeker website, a husband-and-wife team makes this wine using traditional winemaking methods.

It is produced in stainless steel and large neutral oak casks. The result is a wine that is lively and complex.

This wine encompasses what I love most about a good riesling: It’s vibrant and slightly sweet, with citrus and apple notes. It is pleasant on the finish with just a touch of effervescence. I would definitely buy this wine again or give it as a gift because the label is very pretty.

I purchased it at a local Hannaford for under $15.

Finally, pinot grigio is always my standby white wine and my “go to” wine when I can’t find anything else I like.

There are many, many different pinots

out there, and several that I like for under $10 a bottle. But when I am looking to splurge a little, I reach for Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio from Italy.

This wine is everything I like in a pinot grigio: crisp and dry, yet not too dry; has nice fruit notes of apples and just enough complexity to make it interesting, with a nice finish.

According to Santa Margherita, the grapes for this wine are grown in the Italian Alps and then picked by hand when ripe. They are soft-crushed and then fermented in steel tanks. Don’t hang on to a bottle of this wine too long, as it is recommended to be enjoyed fresh within one to two years. Enjoy this wine with cheese, seafood, pasta or rice dishes, or even white meats and soufflés. This wine is about $20 and available at many local grocery stores, as well as New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets.

POP CULTURE

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Milk Carton Kids, All The Things That I Did And All The Things That I Didn’t Do (Run for Cover Records)

Named after a child-protection law enforcement practice that became obsolete after the introduction of the Amber Alert system in 1996, this folkie duo similarly echoes the past in their act.

Their music recalls a cross between Simon & Garfunkel, at least as far as their tightly intertwined, often melancholy harmonies, but it’s not just that; their stage banter is more along the lines of the Smothers Brothers postvaudeville shtick of old. I’m not sure why it took so long for a hipster band to clue into the viability of such things and rework them for a millennial audience, but here it is, and it’s, well, fine for what it is. Simon & Garfunkel could get quite maudlin, layers deeper than these guys, but opening tune “Just Look at Us Now” does speak of regret at the waste of their generation’s potential, or at least the failure of the experiment that promised them unique individuality in a time without war. Warm Americana trickles through the song, as it does through the best on board here, the sleepy 10-minute opus “One More for the Road,” which faces the prolongation of a hopeless relationship. A — Eric W. Saeger Post Season, Post Season (Know Hope Records)

This emo-pop band is from a nice rough area — have you ever even seen Altoona, Pennsylvania, much less talked to someone from there? — which gave me hope that this particular “poppunk quintet” would have a little meat with their microwaved Dashboard Confessional tuneage. And indeed, yeah, opening song “Long Shot Lost Cause” had me reaching for my favorite brick to start smashing stuff, but then it was like come on, even I know a 1D ripoff when I hear it. Sure, the stubborn redundancy of today’s rock — anyone heard of the “millennial woot” yet, that shows up in basically every song? — was an obstacle I figured even a bunch of River’s Edge types could avoid. But hey, they tried, even if the record just starts melting into a disposable jumble the longer it (enthusiastically) trudges along. “Another Day, Another Schrute Buck” aims for Killers until it, too, goes shrinkwrapped nerdcore (I’ll blame that on producer Paul Leavitt, of All Time Low/Senses Fail/ Dangerous Summer, etc. fame).

C — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • We are into August already, believe it or not; the next release Friday is Aug. 3. Where are my Christmas albums, I wonder? Here we have Raleigh, North Carolina, indie band The Love Language with their first album in five years, Baby Grand. These guys have a pretty good approach; even their early demos had equal elements of drone-rock, shoegaze, hayloft indie and Bowery Ballroom postpsychedelic, which isn’t to imply that they were wildly original, but it wasn’t bad at all. Whatever, now they’re on Merge Records, and there’s an outside chance the bandleader gave up writing songs about the girl who dumped him, so I’m gonna go check the YouTube and see what they sound like after a few albums and getting some sweet, sweet Merge Records money. Totally OMG, they’ve gone completely Jamie Liddell — this single, “Juiceboxx,” sounds like leftover Woolworth’s overhead-speaker music from 1973. It’s OK, but I’m sorry, I must turn it off now and get a Q-Tip to scrape it out of my ear and into the rubbish. Gock, gack. Wait, here’s another song, and it’s cool, it sounds like Superdrag with a punkabilly edge. Why? • Hey man, look at that, speaking of countrybilly-cowboy punkishness, here’s that bunch of old guys from Tennessee, Lucero, and their new album, Among the Ghosts! Do you remember when bandleader Ben Nichols was on that MTV show $5 Cover, the mockumentary deal about the Memphis music scene? No, I never watched it either, but surely you’re aware of Nichols’ croaky contribution to AMC’s The Walking Dead, the tune “The Last Pale Light in the West.” No, I forget too, all I remember was Darryl was riding a motorcycle and everyone needed a bath. The single, “For the Lonely Ones,” is totally awesome, sort of like Elvis meets some drone-rock band with no budget. Seriously, it’s cool, go check it out.

• Look, it’s Gulp, the band commanded by Guto Dafydd Pryce of Super Furry Animals! This new LP, All Good Wishes, has a single called “I Dream of Your Song.” It has some girl singing, into a microphone, with the reverb pegged to like 900, while the strummy twee guitars make like Ennio Morricone, pretty much. They just play the hook over and over, and it’s twee, and it just makes me think of buying records from the RCA Record Club or whatever it was, and not liking them, and leaving them behind along the way as I floated from apartment to apartment. Remember those days of having to move to a new apartment, and you’d look at your records and say, “I’m too lazy to try fitting this small stack of albums into the U-Haul, so I will leave them and pretend I forgot they were there”? That’s this.

• Geez, nothing but indie junk on my feed this week. My apologies, fans of banjo-metal and Mongolian oi-pop. Don’t give up yet, though, because maybe this Jim Lauderdale human won’t be indie.

His new album, Time Flies, might be Americana played on flutophones and kazoos. I could deal. Yup, he’s old and into bluegrass, get your Stetson on and let’s move it. There’s only a teaser on this stupid YouTube, and it sounds like Van Morrison trying to be Vince Gill. This is my “totally enthused but sleepy” face. — Eric W. Saeger

Reading rhyme

NH slam poetry pioneer publishes first book

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Slam Free or Die, a poetry open mike and slam series held every Thursday in Manchester, welcomes a special guest on Aug. 2: Canterbury poet Hope Jordan, who co-founded the series Hope Jordan. Courtesy photo in 2005 and coached the first New Hampshire slam team to compete in the National Poetry Slam in 2007.

Now, Jordan is returning as the featured poet for a 30-minute segment in which she will read some of her recent poetry, including poetry from her new chapbook The Day She Decided to Feed Crows.

Jordan said she doesn’t label herself a slam poet, but, when writing poetry, she strongly considers how it will sound if it is read aloud.

“I think, to be good at slam, you have to have the discipline … of that performance aspect, and I don’t have that,” she said. “I do, however, pay attention to how a poem sounds, more than a lot of other poets do, so I think my poetry lends itself to being heard live. It’s kind of a hybrid [of slam poetry and conventional poetry].”

Jordan has had many individual poems published over the years, but The Day She Decided to Feed Crows, which was released in April, is her first published poetry collection. It consists of 20 poems she wrote between the ’90s and recent years.

One of the themes that Jordan explores in her poetry is rural life. Many of her poems allude to places and things in New Hampshire, like the Merrimack River, Lake Winnipesaukee, Mount Kearsarge and Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness. She even has a poem about Bridge Cafe in Manchester.

“It’s a very simple poem, but it’s basically about walking in there and feeling kind of horrible, but there’s this wonderful soup, and it’s about finding comfort in something as small as a soup when your life is falling apart,” Jordan said.

Jordan also writes about grief and loss, using poetry as “a catalyst for more positivity and strength,” she said.

“I would like my words to help people process difficult feelings in a way that only poetry can do,” she said. “I think there is a need for that kind of language.”

Jordan has written primarily in free form for most of her career, but recently started writing with more formal structure as a way to “take [her] poetry to the next level,” she

said, and make it more accessible to readers and listeners.

“When I started writing poetry, it was filled with little riddles and beautiful language, and I wasn’t able to break out of the language in a way that would make people feel something.

Some of the other poets in my poetry workshops would say, ‘Your poems are behind glass,” she said. “I’ve been better, now, at breaking that glass.”

In a recent “crisis of faith,” Jordan said, she reevaluated her writing career and asked herself a difficult question.

“If I never got anywhere with my writing — if no one published or read my work, and I got no validation — would I still write?” she said.

“And the answer was, ‘Yes.’ It makes me so happy to write.”

That’s when she made the decision to go to graduate school. She’s currently working toward an MFA in Fiction Writing and will soon start working on her thesis project, a novel. She also has some short stories and flash fiction that’s she’s trying to get published. Still, she plans to continue writing poetry “on a daily basis,” she said, and is currently putting together a full-length poetry collection.

There are two prevailing images of Native Americans in popular culture: one of the past, where they share an allegedly peaceful meal with the Pilgrims, and one of modern day, where they sit dejectedly on a reservation. These images have been supplied to us from the winners of history — white people. Tommy Orange never saw a reflection of his own experiences as someone who is half Native and grew up in urban Oakland. His Native community had either never lived on a reservation or had chosen to move away for lack of opportunities. But since there is little representation of Native Americans in literature to begin with and exactly zero novels about modern urban Native Americans, instead of writing a novel from just one point of view, Orange chose to write There There from 12 different points of view.

When reading There There, one would never know that Tommy Orange is a debut novelist. He captures the unique voices of a dozen different characters with distinct experiences and manages to overlap their stories seamlessly. Some point-of-view characters are nested in previous chapters as side characters, and their significance becomes larger and more obvious as the novel progresses. The links could be as tenuous as distant coworkers or as close as siblings, and Orange provides a healthy variety. Readers will have fun guessing which characters will intersect next and how.

There is Tony Loneman, who was born with fetal alcohol syndrome and has spent a lifetime trying to embrace his differences, living in spite of them.

There is Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield, whose mother moves her and her halfsister Jacquie to the island of Alcatraz in protest of the treatment of Native Americans, but only after they can’t ignore their eviction notices anymore. There is Jacquie Red Feather, years in the future, who works with substance abuse and suicide prevention programs but is only 11 days sober herself. There is Edwin Black, who has been raised by his white mother and tracks down his Native father on Facebook. There is Dene Oxdene, who inherits a documentary film project from his uncle to capture a collection of different Native voices. (Sound familiar?)

Orange addresses the oppression, the stereotypes and the ordinary problems Native Americans face every day with a poetic flourish. Opal and Jacquie’s mother conjures the image of a spider web being both a home and a trap, which Jacquie likens to drinking. But at the same time, Jacquie’s Alcoholics Anonymous

leader tells her, “There’s not some special relationship between Indians and alcohol.” Alcohol serves as a cheap and legal coping mechanism for intergenerational pain and unfortunate lots in life, but that is certainly not unique to this one demographic of people.

In another chapter, Orange creates a little levity when describing the intense frustration Edwin feels about constipation. Who knew a bathroom break could be turned into a lyrical metaphor for feeling stuck and uncertain about the future?

The characters’ paths all converge at a powwow toward the end of the novel. For some of them, this is their first real contact with Native American culture. Many of them have been wrestling with the idea of what it means to be Native over the course of the novel, and this is where it all comes to a head. If they didn’t grow up on a reservation or if their parents didn’t teach them Native customs, do they have any right to don regalia, to dance, or to beat on the ceremonial drums? But if they don’t go through the motions to preserve their history, will their ways of life be further lost to future generations?

The perspectives get shorter and shorter to convey simultaneous and quick passages of time. Tension builds masterfully as the climax of the novel is hinted at, set up and unfolded. Every character is revisited. Their stories wrap up from their own point of view, their stories wrap up from the other characters’ points of views. They are all together; they are all on their own paths. They all meet under the guise of being Native American, but each of them has their own interpretation of what that means. And these depictions barely scratch the surface of all the voices out there. A — Katherine Ouellette

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Mission: Impossible — Fallout (PG-13)

Running! Berlin! Nuclear bombs!

Jumping! Face masks! More running!

— in Mission: Impossible— Fallout, a roller coaster ride featuring famous people.

IMF special agent guy Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) tries to get some plutonium from bad guys, accidentally loses the plutonium, has to find the plutonium again and gets involved in a helicopter chase. That, basically, is the gist of this movie, which also features his regular crew members Luther (Ving Rhames) and Benji (Simon Pegg) and, from the most recent previous Mission: Impossible movie, Ilsa (Rebecca Ferguson), whose backstory I don’t really remember but this movie gives you enough info (British secret agent type) to get by. Nor do I remember Ethan’s wife Julia (Michelle Monaghan), who appears in a bunch of dream sequences, or Solomon Lane (Sean Harris), apparently a villain from 2015’s Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation. And to be honest it’s easy to forget parts of this nearly two-and-a-halfhour movie, even while you’re watching it, but that doesn’t take away from its general amusement-park-ride level of fun.

Because the movie begins with Ethan messing up an attempt to get some plutonium from some baddies, the CIA sends agent August Walker (Henry Cavill) and his Justice League-imperiling mustache with him on the mission to recover it.

As their characters are at least nominally on the same side (there’s a lot of “this is our operation” stuff), Hunt and Walker get to engage in a few fights together, which is fun. The movie plays up Cavill’s bigness and Cruise’s nimbleness and, in general, the hand-to-hand combat scenes are so nicely choreographed that even when they go on so long that you kind of lose track of everybody’s motivations you can still step back and think “huh, this is a really well-crafted fight scene.” Likewise, in car and foot chases, even when it seems like there would probably be easier ways to accomplish whatever the characters’ goals are, the chases themselves are enjoyable to watch, very much in the way a roller coaster is fun. That way is: something’s happening that you are basically a passive observer of that appears

to have huge stakes but also doesn’t really since you embark having a general sense of where things will end up.

Fallout is too long, but it’s hard to say what should go exactly: the action scenes (and this movie feels like it’s at least 66 percent action scenes) are why you’re here and the bits of plot that happen between them, while highly fast-forward-through-able, are necessary in the sense that without them the movie would just be a montage of Tom Cruise stunts. That might be OK — as mentioned, these stunts are accomplished with remarkable skill. Cruise is able to look both capable of completing a task while free-falling through the sky or hanging from a fairly sheer-looking cliff and also like a real human doing these things. He makes the facial expressions of genuinely great exertion, he grunts and oofs, he limps and looks pretty beat up after, well, getting beat up, which is more than tends to happen in your average Marvel movie. I might not believe a real person can survive doing that in a helicopter but the movie does allow me to believe that Cruise survives it.

Fallout is also, mostly, good at tone too.

Its characters are serious enough to sell this as a spy movie and not a spy farce but they aren’t so serious (a-hem, Jason Bourne movies) that they can’t find the humor in some of the plot’s sillier bits. They aren’t exactly having the time of their lives but the actors don’t appear to be performing drudgery either.

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (PG)

Meta superhero movie humor, fart jokes and a little dollop of “yay, teams” swirl together to create Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, a very good advertisement for the Cartoon Network TV show.

Actually, it’s a pretty solid advertisement for Teen Titans Go!, which I have never watched but look forward to watching with my kids when they’re old enough, and for DC Super Hero Girls, which the internet tells me is some kind of rebooted version of a series that features teen versions of DC characters and that has a short that runs before this movie. I like that it highlights girl superheroes who work together and save the day and, if the comedy in this movie is any indication, my kids will enjoy the potty jokes.

The movie starts out with a pretty good fart joke, which comes as the Teen Titans — Robin (voice of Scott Menville), Cyborg (voice of Khary Payton), Raven (voice of Tara Strong), Beast Boy (voice of Greg

Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson, Mindy Kaling and Awkwafina, all having a ball and bringing their A game.

This movie is mostly heist, just enough of the individual awesomeness of the assembled ladies. You might accuse me of being in the tank from this movie from the jump and overlooking any story-telling imperfections and you would be right. A-

Cipes) and Starfire (voice of Hynden Walch) — are fighting Balloon Man (Greg Davies).

They are fairly certain it’s their sick dance moves and introductory song that defeat him, though perhaps the likes of Wonder Woman (voice of Halsey) and Superman (voice of Nicholas Cage) might have something to do with it.

Defeating villains, the Titans soon learn, isn’t just a mission for these grown-up heroes; it’s also a means to their own superhero movie. When Robin and the gang sneak into the premiere of Batman Again, he is horrified to learn that not only does Batman have his own movies but so do Alfred, the Batmobile and even the utility belt. When supervillain Slade (voice of Will Arnett) appears, stealing a crystal he calls “the perfect plot device,” Robin and the Titans think they’ve finally found the coolly named foe that will help them get a franchise. Will famed director Jade Wilson (voice of Kristen Bell) notice or will she, like everyone else, just think they’re a bunch of goofsters?

The constant mistaking of Slade for Deadpool, the mustache on Superman in a movie poster, a crack about the Green Lantern movie — there’s plenty here for fans of superhero movies in general, even if you are new to Teen Titans. There’s even a shout out to Animaniacs, and this movie very much shares that cartoon’s aesthetic. In tone, pacing and joke-to-action ratio, this movie reminds me of that kind of ‘toon, where the looney is at least as important as whatever else is happening. B Rated PG for action and rude humor.

Directed by Aaron Horvath and Peter Rida Michail with a screenplay by Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath, Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is an hour and 33 minutes long and is distributed by Warner Brothers.

Blindspotting (R)

A man returns home to fastgentrifying Oakland to attempt to rebuild his life after time in prison in Blindspotting, a first (or at least first-ish) feature from a promising pair of writers and from the movie’s director.

Daveed Diggs is probably the biggest name of that trio — he co-writes here and stars. He is probably best known for playing Marquis

*Sorry to Bother You (R) Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson.

Also, some evil weirdness from Armie Hammer and nice supporting roles from Terry Crews and Steven Yeun. Stanfield plays a man who quickly rises through the ranks of a shady telemarketing business in this smart, weird and funny scifi/dystopia comedy (or is it comedy dystopia sci-fi) from first time writer/director Boots Riley. B+

Hereditary (R) Toni Collette, Gabriel Byrne.

Collette brings a very good (perhaps even Oscar nomination-worthy?; definitely Golden Globe nomination=worthy) performance to this strange horror movie about a family dealing with grief that does a decent job keeping its cards close to its vest long enough to build up some suspense. B

Blindspotting

stumbling into trouble.

Similar to Sorry to Bother You and Tully, Blindspotting feels like a movie that isn’t so much telling you the literal truth but is being extremely truthful in how it is conveying emotion. “This is what this feels like,” is what these movies seem to say.

In the case of Blindspotting, this is what it feels like to attempt to regain people’s trust, this is what it feels like to be pushed out of your own neighborhood, this is what it feels like to live in fear, this is what it feels like to give in to the rage caused by that fear. The emotion comes through in a very strong, earnest way, even when the movie is using dreams or hip-hop in a way that just barely stays inside the line of realism.

The movie is also very smart and funny and is able to balance humor, drama and even moments of violence so that they don’t clash and they feel, basically, natural. The relationships — Collin and Miles but also Collin and Val and Miles and Ashley — feel very real and weighed down by the past in a way that makes sense for their characters. I like how the movie allows these characters to have actual conversations about actual issues that matter to them without hiding it entirely in jokes or burying it as subtext. Characters are able to directly talk about race, about class and about the way society judges them in a way that mostly feels honest and not stilted. I particularly like how the movie examines the way race works in the relationship of Collin and Miles and the way it informs how they choose to present themselves to the world. The nuances of their interactions with each other and other people give this movie real complexity.

Blindspotting is a smart movie that suggests good things to come for its core cast and creators. ARated R for language throughout, some brutal violence, sexual references and drug use. Directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada and written by Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal, Blindspotting is an hour and 35 minutes long and is distributed by Summit Entertainment.

Director Carlos Lopez Estrada’s credits seem to be primarily music videos and shorts. He makes a lot of interesting choices here and makes even this movie’s more self-conscious elements work.

We meet Collin (Diggs) as he is being released from prison to a halfway house where he will spend a year on probation. To avoid returning to prison, there are rules he has to follow but, when we catch up with him again with only three days left on probation, things seem to be going well. Thanks to ex-girlfriend Val (Janina Gavankar), he has steady employment with a moving company where his lifelong buddy Miles (Casal) also works. Though his childhood room is now occupied by a stepbrother, Collin’s mom (Margo Hall) will let him move back home once his time at the halfway house is up. Though Miles clearly has a wild side — his desire to buy a gun puts Collin in pretty regular danger of legal trouble — he also has a steady girlfriend, Ashley (Jasmine Cephas Jones), and works every angle to raise money to send their son Ziggy (Ziggy Baitinger) to a tony preschool.

The changes in the neighborhood — the burger joint where you have to request a beef patty with vegan being the default, the corner store that now stocks $10 bottles of green smoothie, the influx of wealthy hipsters — clearly wear at Collin and Miles. But it’s the relationship between the Oakland police and African-American communities that especially worries Collin, especially after, while driving home one night, he witnesses a police officer (Ethan Embry) shoot a man to death in the street. The shooting scares and angers Collin and stays on his mind as he tries to make it to the end of his sentence without

NITE A true star Local music news & events

Todd Rundgren returns to New England

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

• Read & roll: The weekly music series continues with James Gilmore at Bookery, a new-ish downtown haunt offering – you guessed it – readings, light fare and local beer along with a tune or two. Gilmore is a cool singer-songwriter with an easygoing style that appeals to fans of Sirius/XM’s The Loft channel – Brett Dennen, Damien Rice, Ray Lamontagne and the like. Thursday, Aug. 2, 7 p.m., Bookery, 844 Elm St., Manchester. See bookerymht.com.

• X redux: After making the concept album Oceans in 2015 and performing for a year, Mindset X took a break. Leader Steven Haidaichuk played solo as The Deviant, but otherwise they were idle.

Now the active rock band is returning for a “rebirth” show, with new music and a second guitar player. Nice to have them back on the scene. Exhale, Blindspot, Earthmark & GraceDrive round out the show. Go Friday, Aug. 3, 7 p.m., Jewel Music Venue, 61 Canal St., Manchester. Tickets $10 at ticketfly.com.

• Sweet 16: Now in its 16th year, Barnful of Blues happens with Anthony Geraci & the Hipnotics topping the bill. The Sugar Ray & the Bluetones founder has guitarist Willie J. Laws and harp player Dennis Brennan in his talented band. Also appearing are acid jazz stalwarts Bees Deluxe, veteran blues and gospel vocalist Toni Lynn Washington. Saturday, Aug. 4, noon, 4-H Youth Center, 35 Hilldale Lane (Route 13), New Boston. Tickets are $25 at granitestateblues.org.

• Sunday Jah: Summer music is all around, including Reggae Sundays at Penuche’s Ale House in Nashua. This week’s outdoor spirit party features the Reggae Tones, led by Jamaica-born Branford Martin, a.k.a. Mr. Unity. Growing up in Kingston, the singer performed alongside reggae greats like Toots and the Maytals.

His band is a group of local musicians with backgrounds in rock, R&B and soul, but who play island music straight down the line. Sunday, Aug. 5, 3 p.m., Penuche’s, 4 Canal St., Nashua.

At age 70, with a catalog of hits like “Hello It’s Me,” “Bang on the Drum” and “Can We Still Be Friends,” Todd Rundgren might be expected to settle into the life of a legacy artist. That’s not how he rolls, though— Rundgren is always forging ahead, pushing boundaries. Thus, the title of his upcoming show, An Unpredictable Evening, is an apt description of Rundgren’s career.

“You just have to constantly build new audience, and I do that by building new ideas into my music,” Rundgren said in a phone interview from his home in Hawaii.

“Ideally … appeal to a broader range of people, especially younger people.”

In 2011, he began a series of EDM records, culminating with 2015’s Global.

The cumulative effort was “an opportunity to update my production attitude, and reflect what was happening in contemporary music,” Rundgren said.

White Knight followed in 2017, an album that included contributions from Robyn, KKWatson and Trent Reznor, among others. Lately, he sings on brother pop duo Lemon Twigs’ Go to School.

On the current tour, Rundgren works from a list of potential songs from his own catalog and eclectic covers, from Motown to Weezer to Rebecca Black’s “Friday.” He often plays stump the band with bass player Kasim Sulton (Utopia) drummer Prairie Prince (The Tubes), guitarist Jesse Gress and keyboard player Greg Hawkes (The Cars).

“I give the band the first song and after that anything goes,” he said. ”Sometimes I call out things that we may not have rehearsed well enough, so it becomes a challenge for the band to keep up, which makes it even more interesting at times.”

Rundgren adds that he takes “a certain amount of perverse pleasure in playing something people have never heard before and have no idea where it came from.”

He cites as exemplary “Big Weekend,” a Spike Jones-sounding bit of weirdness born in the days when amateur songwriters sent lyrics and a few bucks to a post office box and received an acetate by return mail.

“That’s a record that never saw the light of day, somebody just paid ... and the words were so smarmy, we just had to play it,” he said.

It’s been a busy year for Rundgren. In the spring, he did a reunion tour with Uto-

pia, the band’s first in 25 years, toured solo and played fan events — a 70th birthday party in Virginia and a gathering in Scotland.

“I played in a castle for that and we did a bunch of Scottish things for fans there,” he said.

Later this year, there are similar gatherings in Northern California and Australia.

Given his status, as both a performer and producer — he helmed Meatloaf’s Bat Out of Hell, Grand Funk’s We’re An American Band, XTC’s Skylarking and other big albums — many think Rundgren belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. However, he’s said often that if nominated he won’t run, and if elected he won’t serve.

“It gets worse all the time, and I haven’t changed my mind,” he said. “I don’t have the same kind of respect for things that were established within my lifetime. …

The Oscars and Grammys were being handed out before I was born, so I can have some kind of reverence for that.”

The primary reason the Rock Hall exists, Rundgren said, “is to sell more records … the whole approach is so slick and Mall of Fame. Nobody’s made rock and roll since Elvis got in the Army.

Everything since then has been a further derivation, and very few acts have made what you would call rock and roll. Maybe the Stray Cats — are they in yet? One day, they’ll induct Billy Idol and the val-

ue of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will have completely tanked. He’ll get the nod and that’ll be the end; everybody will start returning their awards.”

His opinion of today’s talent isn’t much higher.

“Obviously, crappy music can still attract a huge audience, because it does,” Rundgren said. “Where did Imagine Dragons come from? A complete calculation of how low audience expectations can go. We are really in a crappy place. … Most music that’s out there is really and truly crap by design.”

Rundgren has no plans to slow down his own pace.

“My idols have always been the people who never stop playing, like B.B. King — he played until he died — and Tony Bennett, who’s in his 90s and sounds as good as ever. So those are my ideals, to play until you drop and never announce a fake retirement tour. Because they usually are fake. You retire until you run out of money, and then you’re out on the road again.”

An Unpredictable Evening With Todd Rundgren When: Sunday, Aug. 5, 7:30 p.m.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Recent alarming headline

Infamous South Beach street artist Jonathan Crenshaw, 46, attracts a lot of attention in Miami among tourists, who watch him paint on a canvas — using his feet. Crenshaw does not have arms and is homeless. Profiled in a local newspaper in 2011, Crenshaw told of a difficult childhood (he also claimed Gloria Estefan had given birth to 200 of his children). He landed in the headlines again after stabbing a Chicago man with a pair of scissors on July 10. According to the Miami Herald, Cesar Coronado, 22, told police he had approached Crenshaw to ask for directions, when Crenshaw jumped up and, using his feet, stabbed Coronado.

Crenshaw’s story is that as he lay on the pavement, Coronado punched him in the head — so he stabbed him, tucked the scissors into his waistband and walked away.

Police found Crenshaw, who has a lengthy arrest record, nearby and arrested him.

Bold move

Faith Pugh of Memphis, Tennessee, had a date to remember on July 14 with Kelton Griffin. Her casual acquaintance from high school “just out of the blue texted me and asked me to go out,” Pugh told WREGTV. They took her car and stopped at a gas station, where Griffin asked Pugh to go inside and buy him a cigar. But while she was inside, “He drove off. I came outside and my car was gone,” Pugh said. Shortly, Pugh received a text from her godsister, telling her Griffin had just asked her out on a date. He picked up the godsister in Pugh’s car and headed to a drive-in movie.

“He didn’t even have any money,” Pugh said. “She actually paid their way to get in the drive-in just so I could get my car back.” Pugh alerted the police to the car’s location, and they arrested Griffin for theft of property. “I hope he’s in jail for a long time,” Pugh said.

Mystery solved

On Jan. 25, 71-year-old Alan J. Abrahamson of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, went for his regular pre-dawn walk to Starbucks. What happened on the way stumped police investigators until March, reported The Washington Post, and on July 13 they made their findings public. Images from a surveillance camera show Abrahamson walking out of his community at 5:35 a.m. and about a half-hour later, the sound of a gunshot is heard. Just before 7 a.m., a dog found Abrahamson’s body, lying near a walking path. Police found no weapon, no signs of a struggle; he still had his wallet and phone. Investigators initially worked the case as a homicide, but as they dug deeper into the man’s computer searches and purchases over the past

nine years, a theory developed: Abrahamson had tied a gun to a weather balloon filled with helium, shot himself, and then the gun drifted away to parts unknown. A thin line of blood on Abrahamson’s sweatshirt indicated to police that “something with the approximate width of a string passed through the blood on the outside of the shirt,” the final report says. As for the balloon, investigators said it would likely have ascended to about 100,000 feet and exploded somewhere north of the Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean.

Later that day, Monroe saw Sauter leaving Monroe’s RV and asked him why he had gone in without permission, to which Sauter replied, “You’ll see why.” Going inside, Monroe soon spotted a 3-foot-long rattlesnake. “I freaked out,” he said. He used a machete to kill the snake, which strangely was missing its rattles. Turns out Sauter had bitten off the snake’s tail, with its signature warning sound. Sauter has been charged with deadly conduct and criminal trespass.

Bright idea

Tina Ballard, 56, of Okeechobee County, Florida, was arrested in North Carolina

by Linville Land Harbor police on July 16 after fleeing there to “hide (her pet) monkey so that state officials could not take that monkey from her,” assistant state attorney Ashley Albright told WPBF News. Ballard’s troubles began in May, when the spider monkey, Spanky, jumped out of a shopping cart in an Okeechobee Home Depot and grabbed a cashier’s shirt, “leaving red marks on the cashier’s shoulder and back.” In June, Fox News reported, another Home Depot employee spotted Spanky in the parking lot, having escaped Ballard’s truck and dragging a leash. Spanky was spooked by the store’s sliding doors and bit the employee on the arm, grabbing her hair and running away.

The employee gave chase and eventually caught Spanky, but not before suffering more bites and scratches. Spanky was in the car when Ballard was arrested and extradited back to Florida; the monkey will be placed in a primate sanctuary.

It’s time once again for minor league baseball promotion fun and games! This time, however, the Montgomery (Alabama) Biscuits managed to tick off a whole generation of baseball fans. The Biscuits announced Millennial Night on July 21, featuring participation ribbons just for showing up, a napping area, selfie stations and lots of avocados, reported Fox News. While some Twitter users thought the promotion was insensitive, others were more philosophical. Dallas Godshall, 21, said, “More than targeting millennials, it’s sort of targeting older generations who like to make fun of millennials.” Pitcher Benton Ross weighed in: “If it’s insensitive, maybe they should just have thicker skin.”

Revenge, Texas-style

The Austin American-Statesman reported that on June 17, RV park neighbors and longtime adversaries Ryan Felton Sauter, 39, and Keith Monroe got into a heated dispute about an undisclosed subject.
