GRANITE VIEWS STEPHEN RENO

An unusual hotel

Next month, 38 professionals from across New Hampshire will gather for a two-day meeting. But unlike the kind of hotels they are likely used to, they will share four-person bunk-bedded rooms at a summer camp near Tuftonboro. They will help set the tables for meals, serve the food, clear up, and help with the dishes. And for all of this, they will each be paying a tuition. They will be the 27th group of folks to have this experience.

After this two-day session, they will meet for one day a month till next June, traveling to venues all over the state to experience directly and to learn about the regions, needs, resources and people of New Hampshire. Along the way they will reflect as a group on what it means to be a citizen of this state. While the members of this group will sit through presentations, watch PowerPoints and hear from panelists, much of what they gain will be from one another.

How they came to be in this group is itself informative. More than 70 people annually apply, each submitting a resume, a set of essays and letters of reference, and each then experiencing an hour-long interview with two alumni. A selection committee of alumni then chooses the class. Each year, it consists of individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to the betterment of the communities in which they live, whether through volunteer service, elected or appointed public office, membership on a board, or some initiative they have championed.

What brings them together is actually one of the most important things they learn over the course of the 10 months. In truth, it almost sounds old-fashioned, for it is a belief that there is such a thing as “our common good” — “a set of shared values about what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together in the same society.” It’s a value quite the opposite of simply looking out for No. 1.

Much has been said about the polarization of our society today, nationally and even here in our state. Frustration, anger, cynicism, a sense of powerlessness, or simple inertia have stifled shared and constructive discourse. In his recent book, The Common Good, Robert Reich challenges the reader to reengaged in public life “…by reaching out, and help resurrect civility by acting more civilly toward those with whom we disagree.”

The 27th class of Leadership New Hampshire is set on a course to examine that challenge and to ask, as did classes before it, how to turn that challenge into a firm commitment.

Stephen Reno is the executive director of Leadership New Hampshire. His email is stepreno@gmail.com.

NEWS & NOTES

Health care exchange

The federal government published information on proposed rates for New Hampshire’s health insurance exchange in 2019, according to the New Hampshire Insurance Department. Premiums for the exchange are calculated each year from a market-wide perspective, with the department comparing the premiums for a 40-year-old non-tobaccouser on a silver-level plan. Based on the carriers’ proposed rates for 2019, the median proposed premium at this level would be $470. If approved, this would be a roughly 6.8-percent decrease from the $504 charged for this premium last year. The department announced in June that three insurers intend to offer plans on the exchange in New Hampshire next year: Ambetter, Anthem and Harvard Pilgrim. These companies have until Sept. 25 to commit to selling plans in 2019.

Tax-free booze

The New Hampshire Liquor Commission is offering out-ofstate customers discounts for a limited time to highlight the Granite State’s lack of a sales tax, according to a news release. From now through Monday, Sept. 3, the “No Taxation on Our Libations” sale will offer residents of the other northern New England states a one-time coupon for purchases under $150, with savings double each state’s sales tax rate. That equals an 11-percent discount for Maine residents, 13-percent discount for Massachusetts residents and 12-percent discount for Vermont residents. Purchases of $150 or more will receive a flat $25 discount. According to the commission, out-of-state customers make up more than 50 percent of annual sales at the state’s liquor and wine outlets.

According to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, the roughly 20-milelong river flows from the Andrew Brook in Bradford through Warner, Sutton and Webster, until it meets the Contoocook River in Hopkinton. The New Hampshire Rivers Management and Protection Program was established in 1988 to protect rivers with natural and cultural significance. Local volunteer committees are formed to develop and implement plans to protect these designated rivers.

Whether you’re looking for a companion with fur, feathers or floppy ears, New Hampshire animal shelters are full of potential pets. To encourage adoptions, Pope Memorial SPCA in Concord is one of many shelters participating in NBC and Telemundo’s annual Clear the Shelters event on Saturday, Aug. 18, from noon to 5 p.m.

“There are very few opportunities like this for shelters to work together at the same time,” said Heather Faria, executive director of Pope Memorial. “It’s a way to be connected to the rest of the shelter community and pull together in the same direction.”

Not every New Hampshire shelter will be participating in the national event, but most will be open on Saturday and running adoptions. According to the national event page, other participating shelters in southern New Hampshire include the Cocheco Valley Humane Society in Dover, New Hampshire Humane Society in Laconia and New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham.

Pope Memorial will have a full staff of volunteers ready to help prospective and veteran pet owners alike find the right pet for them. Additionally, all adopters will receive a $25 gift card to Sandy’s Pet Food Center in Concord, a goody bag with samples and pet supplies and a chance to win T-shirts, totes, engraved pet ID tags and other prizes.

What to expect when you’re adopting

Adopting a shelter pet is often less expensive than buying from a breeder or pet store and shelters typically cover services like spaying or neutering, vaccinations and microchipping. Adoption fees vary depending on the shelter as well as type of animal and age.

Patience is key when it comes to adoption.

Adopters have to fill out an application so the shelter can get a better sense of their lifestyle, household and ideal pet qualities. Most shelters also require every person and animal in a household to meet a shelter pet before it can be adopted.

“Some people come in and think we’re just going to hand over an animal, and that’s just not how it works,” said Doug Barry, president and CEO of the Humane Society for Greater Nashua. “Unless we feel that the personality and environment is appropriate for both the animal and the owner, we’re not going to approve the adoption. That’s in the best interest of everyone involved.”

Same-day adoptions are still possible, which is why Barry said adopters should be prepared with food, bedding and other neces-

sities beforehand. Post-adoption, Faria said, shelters will work with owners to make sure it’s a good matchup at home. She said shelters’ main goal is to ensure people take the right animal home and that animals find the best environment possible.

During the weekend, Pope Memorial is especially hoping to find a home for Lynus and Chloe, a pair of 9-year-old dogs who’ve been at the shelter for about 80 days and have to be adopted together.

Shelter staff often see senior animals get overlooked in favor of younger pets.

“Personally, I love senior dogs. You know what you’re getting ahead of time, and they’re usually easier to take care of,” said Lisa Caputo, director of operations for the Manchester Animal Shelter.

Concord startup launches mobile fitness assistant Concord-based startup Cyborg claims its new app is the first voice-activated fitness assistant on the market. Tim Near founded the company in 2017.

What does the app do?

When we talked with runners in New Hampshire, we found that fitness apps out there right now weren’t able to answer some advanced questions like, “What is my marathon pace?” Our app will track your activity and answer questions about your movement and biometrics.

You start by saying “Ok, Cy,” it will answer “Yes?,” and then you can ask things like “What’s my pace?” or “What’s my current elevation?” It’s going to be available through a simple freemium model. You can use it for all your fitness tracking needs absolutely free, and with a $3.99 month subscription you can activate the Cy voice assistant.

How did you launch Cyborg?

The initial plan for Cyborg was to develop wearable devices. In late 2017, I went through Alpha Loft’s Startup Fundamentals Programs, which teaches entrepreneurs the basics of starting a business. After the program, the idea for Cy started to take shape. … I’m a mechanical engineer by trade, so when I started learning code to develop the app, I realized I needed someone who had a computer science background. I looked on LinkedIn and saw Mike [Lau] was just graduating from Dartmouth with a master’s in computer science. We both grew up in Moultonborough and went to the same high school. I reached out to him and we found out that we had similar passions for building technology to empower people. We fell in love with the project, and now about six months later, we just launched the app. … Mike and I also went through Alpha Loft’s Accelerate New Hampshire program ...

What are you into right now?

My wife and I have been going to a lot of local breweries. We love Pipe Dream Brewing in Londonderry.

where we really refined our business model.

What drives your passion for fitness?

I’ve struggled with weight my whole life.

I’ve swung from being Tim Near 80 pounds overweight to being really fit and pretty much everywhere in between. I found that you can’t win or lose that fight in a single day. You need an accountability partner who can constantly remind you of your fitness goals in a kind way. With Cy, we think we’ve developed a fitness expert that can be that partner.

What are the strengths and challenges of launching a company in the Granite State?

People are so willing to sit down with you and encourage you to move toward your goal.

When I went to my first Alpha Loft event in 2017, I got so much guidance from people who just genuinely wanted to see me succeed. … One place where I think we need to step up is encouraging our city leaders to focus on attracting more seed capital to New Hampshire. You have efforts from organizations like Alpha Loft and people like Dean Kamen [of Deka Research and Development in Manchester], but I’m not seeing a lot of other opportunities to attract investors.

What future plans do you have for the app and your company?

Long term, we’re aiming to be able to answer more vague questions, like “How fit am I?” We want to have the app calculate things like the relativity of your heart rate compared to the amount of energy you’re exerting. With calculations like that, we can make a statistical model that outlines how fit you are and develops a custom fitness plan. — Scott Murphy

Today is a day of national recognition among newspapers across the country to protect and support the importance of the free press. It’s a push back to our president saying it’s the “enemy of the people” and possibly inciting violence by the band of Mensa candidates attending his rallies by calling the press “disgusting people” as he did in Tampa earlier this month.

Now, I’m the first to say I include Mr. Trump in too many columns. But the free press is the bedrock of our democracy, and I came of age in the Watergate era, something that led to an instinctive distrust of people with a lust for power and an ego to match, and it clearly demonstrated the vital role the free press has in keeping in check those with such character flaws. Thus I’m willing to push back at a person whose actions that day in Tampa I think are disgusting as he tries to put the free press in peril. Especially when I know him to simply be a giant crybaby who is fine with the “free press” as long as they are licking his boots, as Fox News regularly does.

But I do agree with the president a bit. The press doesn’t always gets it right and sometimes does it for the wrong reasons with dire consequences when that’s happened at times.

They earn a harsh spotlight when that happens. Particularly when their coverage is done to boost ratings or circulation, the way ESPN does by leading with Tiger Woods in every golf story whether he does something or not.

Now that is “just” about sports and, while annoying to me, it really doesn’t matter. But through the years the press has justifiably put the spotlight on wrongdoing in sport to bring needed change or put the bad guys involved where they belong. Below are examples of that, but first we’ll start with when they got it wrong: Rush to judgment at Duke: The media was wrong here and has had blood on its hands

for that. The Duke Lacrosse story of 2006 was a clear rush to judgment after a stripper hired for a private party accused three players of raping her. The media recklessly ran with the accusations as fact, inflaming public opinion and politically ambitious prosecutor Mike Nifong. The accusation was untrue and Nifong was disbarred for fraud and misrepresenting facts. But the genie was out of the bottle and the players’ lives were changed in ways that could not be undone.

However, the media has far more often been right on important stories they helped uncover or give sunlight to. For example: The Michigan State sex abuse scandal: How this one could grow to 150 different minor female gymnasts being abused

by MSU and USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar before gaining public attention is beyond belief. But in the end it led Nasser to spending life behind bars, where he belongs.

NFL concussion story: Lawyers and the media brought to light the NFL’s attempt to ignore evidence of players’ brain trauma being caused by the violence of football.

That new protocols were put in place and a massive settlement was reached with alumni is due to fears of future negligence and continuing media coverage, despite what Roger the Dodger says about “player safety concerns.”

The Penn State child sex abuse scandal: The Paterno family has rush-to-judgment complaints, but the facts are one-time assistant coach Jerry Sandusky sexually abused young boys for years at Penn State and there was indifference among those at the highest levels to protect PSU’s public image. It led to the arrest of its president and three others and the firing of legendary Joe Paterno for doing nothing to stop it after being told of Sandusky’s actions.

Black Sox scandal: Eight members conspired in or had knowledge of a plot by the Chicago White Sox to throw the 1919 World Series. They did and amid rumors a grand jury was convened in 1921 and they were

indicted. They beat the rap but were banned for life by Commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, brought in to clean up out-of-control gambling.

NFL player conduct: Roger Goodell gave Baltimore Raven Ray Rice a token two-game suspension over his conduct until a tape (the NFL had) surfaced showing Rice knocking his fiancée unconscious in an Atlantic City hotel elevator. The suspension went to six games to quell the public relations nightmare but the public outrage has led to far greater penalties going forward and Rice never played another down.

Russia doping at the 2014 Olympics: Performance-enhancing drugs got their toehold in sports when the Eastern Bloc countries doped athletes as a propaganda device for showing the communist way of life produced better athletes than the decadent capitalistic ways in the West. It came back when a Cold War-era exKGB agent was running the country. It shows some people will always look for an edge to win no matter what is needed to be done.

Urban Meyer investigation: This one happens in real time with a local angle. It could be complicated by inflamed MeToo Movement emotions. The question is what did he know, when did he know it and did he violate his contract relating to Courtney Smith’s claims of serious abuse by ex-husband Zach Smith while working under Meyer, whose wife was told of it by her in 2015? Amid a torrent of OSU fan social media backlash, it’s a good thing the media is on it, because given how good Meyer is, many in the OSU orbit want him to survive.

The list it too long to put in this space. But others I took delight in being uncovered were pay-to-play schemes in Kentucky and Michigan in basketball and SMU’s Pony Express scandal in the ’80s. Folks in those places did not like the free press disrupting their good time. But it was doing its job and sport was better for it.

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S PEOPLE, PLACES & OTHER STUFF

Where are they now?

G-town comes up short

The Big Story: In a great effort on foreign soil, it was close but no cigar for the Goffstown Little League All-Stars, who lost their chance to compete for the New England Regional title when their five-run lead evaporated in a bottom-of-the-sixth-inning Covington, R.I., rally to lose 6-5. But that’s not the whole story of week in Connecticut, as they got to the game after losing the opener in the New England Regional in Bristol, Connecticut, by winning their first two in the loser’s bracket. The first was on the strength of a Cam Hujsak third-inning grand slam that propelled G-Town to a 13-0 win over South Burlington. Win No. 2 was a 9-3 win over Fairfield American led by the four-hit, one-homer effort by Ryan Strand and a three-headed pitching effort from Logan Simmons (three hits and nine strikeouts over 3.1 innings), Max Ouellette (two hits in 2.0) and Isaac Morin, who closed it in the scoreless sixth inning. All in all, a week to remember.

Sports 101: Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez became the eighth player in team history to have 30 homers and 100 RBI in their first full season with the team. How many of the other seven can you name?

The Numbers

12 – winning margin in strokes for 13-year-old Shivani Vora (Portsmouth CC) in winning the Women’s Golf Association Junior Championship by shooting one under par at Intervale CC to defeat runners-up Eva Gonzalez, Carys Fennessy and Alexis St. Lauren, who

win with 4.1 shutout innings in G-Town’s 13-0.

The winner is Note of the Week: Sam Barton of Kingwood in Wolfeboro defeated 13-year-old Brian Adams 4 & 3 to win the New Hampshire Golf Association Junior Stroke Play Championship at Nashua’s Green Meadow Golf Club at the start of the week.

Sports 101 Answer: With his 30 & 100 season in his first year in Boston, Martinez joined the following Red Sox players in that club: Jimmy Foxx, Ted Williams, Walt Dropo, Tony Armas, Nick Easky, Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz. George Scott also kind of sorta did it, being a 30 &100 after joining the Sox after a 1977 trade with Milwaukee, but that was Boomer’s second stint with the team after coming up as a rookie in 1966, so it doesn’t count.

On This Day – Aug. 16: 1920 – In a game between the Yankees and the Indians, Cleveland shortstop Ray Chapman is beaned by Carl Mays; he dies the next day. 1948 – less than a month after his final public appearance at Yankee Stadium, Babe Ruth dies in New York City at 53 of esophageal cancer. 1954 – the now on the endangered species list Sports Illustrated publishes its first issue to revolutionize sports journalism.

Ex-KGB agent: Russian President Vladimir Putin. The guy our president says he believes when he says didn’t do it regarding the alleged Russian plot to interfere in the 2016 election, over the entire U.S. intelligence community, who says they did. Which also makes him the only one Donald Trump says isn’t lying, after claiming everyone including ex-fixer Michael Cohen, special prosecutor Robert Mueller, ex-FBI Director Jim Comey, Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and the up to 16 women accusing of him of sexual misconduct is lying. Got it.

Urban Meyer story local angle: Local lad/ex-Manchester Central High QB Ryan Day has been named interim head coach of Ohio State’s football program as school officials determine what Meyer knew and when he knew it about the spousal abuse allegations against ex-assistant Zach Smith.

ESPN and Tiger pub: First golf story on ESPN.com this Monday was “For The Man Who Always Said Second Stinks, This Time It Didn’t,” all about Tiger. Story 2 was about the actual winner of the PGA Championship, who was just the fifth in history to win the U.S. Open and PGA in the same year, and its Tiger-centric headline illustrates what I’m saying: “Brooks Koepka wasn’t losing to anyone — not even Tiger.”

Kentucky pay-to-play: A package sent to the father of Kentucky recruit Chris Mills burst open in an overnight mail center and $15,000 came tumbling out. It led to Eddie Sutton being fired and approximately 5,000 shoot-the-messenger types (to my recollection) canceling their Lexington Courier-Journal subscriptions for breaking the story of U-K corruption.

ARTHUR SULLIVAN BOYS & GIRLS CLUB

If you know Arthur Sullivan you know he loves to work. That famous work ethic showed itself from his earliest days at the Boys Club, where his greatest fun wasn’t all the activities on hand but working behind the counter handing out equipment to the other kids and selling popcorn at 5 cents a bag! It was like working at his dad’s store, Lucille’s Variety on Brook Street. According to him, he was “the worst bugler ever” while playing in the Club’s world-famous drum and bugle corps - The Muchachos. In high school he worked every odd job he could find before heading off to Keene State, while commuting home for the cleaning business he started. If you’re sensing a pattern, there is one. He just loved to work. That eventually led to leaving Keene ahead of graduating for a greater passion – real estate. It paid off and has grown into the giant real estate development company – Brady-Sullivan Properties.

"

… What I liked most about going to the Club, was no matter who you were, where you came from or what your family had, there was no distinction between any of us. We were all equals, and it was one for all. That respect, and how much the staff cared, always stayed with me and it’s one reason why I think it’s very important to give back to the community, so kids today can share the same experience …

ARTS Artists in the park Outdoor art show returns to Nashua

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

The Greeley Park Art Show holds special meaning for Nashua artist Sandra Peters. It’s where she sold her first painting and won her first art award in the 1970s. She has participated in the show most years since then, as an artist vendor and some years as an organizer; this year, in addition to having a booth, she will judge the show’s youth art competition.

“We give our hearts and souls to our art, and if it wasn’t for the art lovers and other artists who come to these art shows and appreciate what we do, what would we have?” Peters said. “That’s what keeps us going with our dream and is why we love what we do.”

Now in its 65th year, the annual two-day, outdoor, juried art show will take place on Saturday, Aug. 18, and Sunday, Aug. 19, in Nashua. It will feature 60 artists from 28 cities and towns in New Hampshire and Massachusetts who work in a wide variety of media, including oils, acrylics, watercolors, mixed media, glass, pen and ink, jewelry, pastels, sculpture, pottery, woodwork and photography.

Peters will exhibit her abstract and figurative paintings which she does with acrylic,

watercolor, oil or mixed media, often using modeling paste, plaster and palette knives to give them bold textures.

“I move around a lot in my art with different colors and textures and media,” she said.

“Whatever is in my head, I try to put into my paintings, so I do a lot of different things.”

Each artist can, if they so choose, enter one of their pieces in the art show competition on Saturday. The judges, who are well-established artists, will look at color, composition, use of the medium and other criteria and announce first-, second- and third-place, honorable mention and best-in-show winners in each medium.

On Sunday morning, young artists ages 6 through 18 are invited to bring their artwork to be judged in the Emerging Art Student Talent Show. An awards ceremony will be held in the afternoon, where winners in different media and age categories will be announced and awarded ribbons and prizes of art supplies.

“We want to encourage kids to keep on going with the arts and to explore their creativity,” said Lauren Boss, president of the Nashua Area Artists’ Association, which hosts the event.

The show is also an opportunity for peo-

22 Art

ple to talk with artists and learn about their methods. Some of the artists will be demonstrating their art at their booths. Boss, who will have her own booth exhibiting her glass work, will have glass pieces from various stages of her process on hand to show attendees, to help them better understand how she creates her art.

“We don’t just sit there, hiding behind our tents. We are there to interact with people and answer their questions.” Boss said. “People appreciate it more when we tell them about the work that went into that piece that they’re taking home.”

The show attracts around 1,000 people each day and will have amenities like a watering station for dogs and a coloring tent for young children. Attendees can also participate in an interactive splatter painting activity, the end result of which will be put onto large pieces of canvas and displayed at the Nashua Area Artists’ Associations ArtHub gallery at a later date.

“We’re always trying to add new, extra things to the show and improve on it and make it better for the artists and the people who attend,” Boss said. “We want them to stay for the day and make it a full-day experience.”

New Hampshire’s largest model train show returns

’70s, because that was the era that I remember seeing trains.”

Additionally, the show will have door prizes, a white elephant table, food concessions and a raffle to win a finished 4 by 8-foot model railroad layout (tickets are one for $5 or three for $10).

The club has existed for 35 years. It currently boasts around 15 members and holds weekly meetups on Thursdays at Washington Street School in Penacook.

“Everything we do is geared towards our common interest of model railroading, whether that’s researching, building, painting, electrical work — all aspects of the hobby,” Miner said. “It gives people a chance to really explore their creativity.”

Whether you’re interested in model trains or just looking for some family fun, you are welcome at the 33rd annual Concord Model Railroad Club Show, happening on Sunday, Aug. 19, at Everett Arena in Concord.

With more than 50 model railroad dealers and half a dozen operating model railroad layouts on display, the show is the largest of its kind in northern New England.

“If you’ve never been, it’s worth seeing,” club president Jon Miner said. “It’s good, wholesome entertainment and a chance to see a variety of things. For some people, it’s a chance to expand their horizons and see something new.”

The dealers come from all over New England and from as far as Kentucky. They’ll be selling a wide range of items, including building kits and building materials; pre-made model locomotives, freight cars, tracks, buildings and various scenery accessories; and collectibles, T-shirts and other novelty items.

“With the decline of brick-and-mortar hobby stores, it’s tougher to get out and see these kinds of products,” Miner said.

and hope that they get what they were looking for, so this [show] is a good opportunity to see the stuff first-hand and talk to dealers about it like you would have done at a hobby shop.”

There will be completed model railroad layouts, one created by the club and others by individuals who belong to other clubs or groups, set up and running for visitors to view. The club will have the largest display, spanning about 36 by 50 feet.

The scale for a model railroad can vary

and is a matter of personal preference, how much space the builder has available and how detailed he wants the layout to be. The model locomotives themselves may be as small as a person’s thumb or as large as a shoe box. Builders may also choose to focus on one train style or trains from a certain time period.

“Some people do modern, state-of-the-art stuff. Other people model [their layout] like it’s from the early 1900s,” Miner said. “For me, I like to model mine after trains from the

INSIDE/OUTSIDE THE GARDENING GUY

Lesser-grown vegetables What’s new to the garden this year

By Henry Homeyer

listings@hippopress.com

Each year I try to grow some new things in my vegetable garden, varieties that I’ve never tried before. Sometimes my efforts are a bust, and I never grow them again. Then sometimes something new becomes an instant favorite, as happened this year.

This year I grew Romanesco cauliflower, a plant that I absolutely love! This is something like a pointy cauliflower, but with a different taste, with overtones of broccoli. In fact, some call it a Romanesco broccoli or just plain Romanesco. Some say it has a nutty flavor.

The tiny florets spiral around in something described by a mathematical relationship called a Fibonacci sequence. That sequence is 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 42…. Do you see the relationship between the numbers? Each number is the sum of the two previous numbers. It is a gorgeous, spiraling pointy vegetable. When I picked my first one it was 5 inches across and weighed 9 ounces. Perhaps I could have let it get bigger, but I was afraid it might spoil if I waited too long.

I cooked my Romanesco by slicing it in half and steaming it for six minutes. At that point I could poke a fork into it without difficulty. I served it with butter, though a little Parmigiana cheese might be good on it, too.

Unlike broccoli, most cauliflowers don’t usually produce any more food after the first head is picked — though some purple ones will produce small florets as an afterthought.

Will my Romanesco produce anything else? I don’t know. (If you know, please email me.)

If it shows no side shoots in two weeks, I shall pull the plants.

Rutabagas were once an experiment for me, but now I grow them almost every year.

They are mild-flavored and store for months in the fridge or a cool basement. I’ve never had trouble with diseases or pests — and they are a good substitute for potatoes, which are sometimes plagued by beetles and fungal diseases. Flea beetles can bother them, I’m told, but I’ve never had the problem.

Kohlrabi is another lesser-known vegetable that I grow. It looks like a root crop, but grows above the soil line as a big, fat round ball. The leaves come off the top of the ball, and some people say it looks like a space alien.

This year I grew purple kohlrabi only.

These are best eaten soon after being picked, though there are some green ones, most notably Kossak, an F-1 hybrid that will store for four months or more with no loss of flavor or texture. And they get to be 8 inches in diameter!

Of the leafy greens, I tried a new variety of kale that I love. I got seeds from Fruition Seeds in Naples, N.Y., for a kale called Bear

Romanseco

Necessities Kale. That’s right, bear, not bare.

It is a frilly kale and very tender. What it has to do with bears is a mystery to me, but Petra Page-Mann, the founder of the company, is a young woman with a good sense of humor, so I guess it’s just a pun. I use the leaves in my breakfast green smoothies, and they’re delicious. Fruition Seeds offers many unusual and organic seeds including heirlooms.

Magenta spreen is another unusual leafy vegetable that I tried some years ago, and it shows up like a weed every year. I let some grow, and pull some out. It is in the scientific genus Chenopodium, which includes quinoa and a weed known as lamb’s quarters. What I love about it is that it has top leaves that are, indeed, magenta — one of my favorite colors.

It can be steamed as a green, added to a salad or added to a smoothie. Seeds are available from Johnny’s Selected Seeds.

This year I had some extra space, having reduced my potato plantings, so I planted watermelons, cantaloupe and luffa (or loofa).

All spread like crazy, and like hot weather.

They were slow getting going, but now, with the current heat wave, they are growing fast.

Unlike tomatoes or beans, it’s not obvious when your watermelons or cantaloupe are ready to pick. Melons require one to use all senses, including hearing. Yes, I thump on watermelons and listen for a hollow sound to see if they are ready to pick. Watermelons that are white where they sit on the ground are probably not ready — they should be yellowish. Size counts, too. Bigger is riper. Cantaloupes are sometimes a little soft at the attachment point when fully ripe and should smell slightly sweet at the flower end when dead ripe.

I have never grown luffa before, but it’s not an edible, so I imagine I’ll just let it grow until it stops growing. I’ve read that when it gets lighter in weight and color, it’s ready to pick.

Peel off the skin, which should be loose by the time you pick it, and knock the seeds out.

Dry until it’s ready to use as a scrubby. Some people smash the gourds against the ground, and then peel off the skin.

Let me know if you have grown something weird and wonderful.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, While cleaning my deceased mother’s home, I came across an old Eastman Kodak camera. It states on a label that it uses Film No. 116. I would be interested in perhaps an estimate and to hear your general thoughts.

Wayne Dear Wayne, Your Eastman Kodak camera was known as a Brownie style camera. The number 116 was for the kind of film to use in it. It was a very popular style when it was out in the early 1900s. It was an inexpensive and easy camera for its time. The story behind the Brownie camera is an interesting one, so I would recommend doing some follow-up research. But I can say that it was named after characters in a cartoon back then.

The camera is not hard to find around these days because it was so popular then. You know the rule: If they are easy to acquire they don’t seem to bring a high value out in the secondary market. I have had several and prices are in the $10 range.

It’s a great conversation piece, though, and as I said, the history is interesting.

Donna Welch has spent more than 20 years in the antiques and collectibles field and owns From Out Of The Woods Antique Center in Goffstown (fromoutofthewoodsantiques.com). She is an antiques appraiser and instructor. To find out about your antique or collectible, send a clear photo of the object and information about it to Donna Welch, From Out Of The Woods Antique Center, 465 Mast Road, Goffstown, N.H., 03045. Or email her at footwdw@aol.com. Or drop by the shop (call first, 624-8668).

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Car styling is largely dictated by fuel and safety requirements Dear Car Talk: I was looking at a new car (finally bought the RAV4) and was reading reviews of lots of different makes and models.

Many of the articles brought up styling, usuBy Ray Magliozzi ally as a positive, for a given car. But when I was looking at crossover-style cars, they all looked pretty much the same. I mean, they look a little different from the front and from the back, but from the side, I have trouble differentiating one from the next. The lengths are about the same. The openings for the wheels have small differences. The rooflines with the roof rack all have similar slopes. The Honda looks like the Toyota, which looks like the Nissan, which looks like the Ford, the Chevy, the Audi, the BMW, the Volvo, the Mercedes, the Bentley and a few others in between. So, maybe you can help explain what the car reviewers mean by “styling”? Thanks. — Dewey Styling is largely a personal preference, Dewey. I mean, two different women opted to marry my brother. Need I say more?

There are some “rules” of styling. And when they’re broken, they can make a car look odd or funny. A layman might not

HIPPO | AUGUST 16 - 22, 2018 | PAGE 28

be able to explain exactly why a car is not attractive, but, as Justice Potter Stewart once said: “You know it when you see it.”

And there’s less to style than there used to be. There are powerful external forces that make compact crossover vehicles all look the same. Fuel economy requirements largely dictate the overall shape of the vehicle and the curve of the roof. And safety requirements dictate things like the height of the hood and angle of the front grill. Then you have the fact that these vehicles all are competing for the same buyers, which leads manufacturers to “benchmark” and copy each other, offering similar sizes and prices, and trying to copy the sales leaders. The result is that when it comes to modestly priced cars, “styling” is largely decoration.

There are certain styling decisions that do cost more money, and can make a car look more expensive: a long hood, thin A-pillars, complicated metalwork, expensive headlight treatments. And if you know what you’re looking for, you’ll see that stuff on cars like the Bentley and Volvo, and not so much on the Nissan and Chevy.

But here’s the bottom line, Dewey: If you can’t tell the difference, then you should base your purchase decision on other things, like price, reliability and whether you can put the

key fob in your pocket and then walk without a limp.

Look, I know some wine is better than other wine. But since I can’t tell the difference between a $75 cabernet and a $7.50 Trader Joe’s red blend, I get my wine at Trader Joe’s.

And since a car is a commodity to you, you should ignore styling when you’re buying one. And that’s obviously what you did, Dewey. Enjoy your RAV4.

Dear Car Talk: When I owned a 1964 Chevrolet Impala convertible, I designed and installed a raindetection system so the convertible top would close automatically when it started to rain.

This system never failed me in the six years I owned the car, and I would purposely leave the top down even if it was expected to rain — just so I and others could see it go up. With much better technology now, why is this feature not available on convertibles today?

— George Good question, George. It’s certainly technically feasible. The skylights in my house do that, so why not a convertible?

I can think of a couple of reasons why manufacturers might not want to add a feature like that. One is that today’s convertible

tops are so easy and quick to put up and down, there’s very little incentive to leave the top down when you park the car. It literally takes 10-15 seconds, and no effort other than pressing a button to close up the car completely — including securing the top and closing all the windows.

So why would you leave your car exposed to the sun, debris, bums who want to take a nap, and the guy who doesn’t know where else to throw the wrapper from his lamb gyro? It’s so easy now, you can put the top down for a three-minute drive to the convenience store on a nice day and put it back up again, and not feel burdened.

The other reason I can think of is that the manufacturers might not want the liability. Even though the technology is good, what if it fails? Do you think Jaguar wants to pony up for an entirely new Freedonian leather interior because a five-dollar moisture sensor failed? Or because you parked under a low tree limb that blocked the top from closing?

But maybe some of our readers in the automotive business have a more conclusive answer for George. If you know why this feature hasn’t been offered yet, write to us via cartalk.com.

CAREERS

Christine King Picture Framer

Christine King and her husband Jerry started Framers Market nearly 40 years ago. She offers custom picture framing and runs an art gallery at her shop in Manchester.

Can you explain what your current job is?

My job starts when a customer brings in whatever they’re going to frame, and we begin the design process. Once the order has been placed, then we actually make the frame, cut the glass and mattes and assemble the project. Each project is different, depending on if it needs to be mounted, stretched, placed in a shadow box or something else. I also manage our art gallery, which includes finding artists and planning shows.

How long have you worked there?

Thirty-nine years.

How did you get interested in this field?

I was a history major in college, and I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with that. By chance, my sister-in-law mentioned that she had a friend who owned a picture frame shop. She thought I’d be suited for it. I started visiting several different shops and said, “Why not?”

What kind of education or training did you need for this job?

I’m completely self-taught. It’s pretty hard going in when you don’t know anything about it, but it worked out. Once we had the shop for a while, I did take some seminars with the Professional Picture

Framers Association, and read a lot about framing too.

Unfortunately, the internet wasn’t around back then, so I relied a lot on trial and error and talking to other framers.

The New Hampshire Fisher Cats are adding to the food truck trend with a new event. The first annual Food Truck Festival at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium will feature all kinds of locally made food items from nearly a dozen trucks over the course of two days, on Friday, Aug. 17, and Saturday, Aug. 18.

Stephanie Fournier, director of hospitality and special events for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, said each truck will be parked on the warning track in the outfield for both days. Infield areas will be sanctioned off to welcome people to bring blankets, listen to live music and play lawn games like cornhole, giant Connect Four and giant tic-tac-toe.

“We’re always trying to do more things and try some new things out while the team is on the road,” Fournier said, “and

for me personally, having a food truck festival is something I’ve been wanting to do.”

Most of the attending trucks will be there for both days, according to Fournier, while some will be there on Friday only and some on Saturday only. Among the choices will be Empanada Dada, a Lowell, Mass.-based Cuban food truck serving fresh beef and chicken empanadas, and B’s Tacos of Londonderry, which will serve tacos, burritos, rice bowls and other Mexican option.

Fournier, who volunteered during this year’s Food Trucks for CASA event, said the goal was to bring a lineup of trucks that each offered something different.

“We have the PoutineFest here of course, which is great, but that’s obviously more of a specific thing,” she said.

“With food trucks, it really is ... a lot of different foods that give people an opportunity to try a little bit of everything. 38

ing the festival, according to Escalera, as well as a performance by Bajucol, a dance group from Colombia. Mexican singer Veronica Robles will also be performing with her mariachi band for about 20 to 30 minutes, he said.

First held in 2013, the We Are One Festival was formed after the city’s Latino Festival (organized by Latino Unidos de New Hampshire) and African-Caribbean celebration (organized by Ujima Collective) joined together to hold one event celebrating each nation.

“We’re excited this year because we started our planning really early this time,” Escalera said, “so there is a lot going on and we have various different types of companies to thank for their donations and their support.”

A multicultural festival of food, music, crafts and dancing native to dozens of Latin American and African nations is what the We Are One Festival is all about. Returning to Veterans Memorial Park in Manchester on Saturday, Aug. 18, the festival is a joint project derived from two previous cultural festivals in the city organized by Manchester’s Latin American, African and Caribbean communities.

The event has become one of the largest multicultural gatherings for a single day in the Queen City. A huge draw year after year is the food, according to Pete Escalera, a member of the festival’s planning committee.

“It’s a pretty big combination of different foods,” he said. “We have foods from the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, some Central and South American-inspired dishes like empanadas, stew chicken, stew beef, roast pork, rice, beans, salads, and all kinds of other colorful desserts.”

Most vendors are either local restaurants or community members who are coming to bring home cooked meals. This year’s festival participants, Escalera said, will include Don Quijote Restaurant offering Mexican and Caribbean cuisine; Made With Love 603, a Manchester-based food truck serving fresh Puerto Rican dishes; Sabroso Taqueria; Bar y Restaurant las dos A-A, a Nashua-based Colombian restaurant; and Fricker’s Neighborhood Grill.

Other cuisines in the past have included Bajan, Togo and Sudanese; you might find items like jerk chicken, chivo (goat) stew, millet-based dishes with meats like goat, chicken and beef, and other signature foods prepared by the vendors for the festival.

In addition to the food, more than 40 vendors will be on hand selling items like jewelry, beads and clothing at the park dur-

Manchester’s Only Rooftop Dining Happy Hour, Tues - Sat 4-6pm Wine flight night Thurs, 4-11pm - Sample 16 Worldly Wines

Authentic Lebanese cuisine will take center stage for the annual Mahrajan Middle Eastern Food Festival at Our Lady of the Cedars Melkite Catholic Church in Manchester, where a full menu of meat and vegetarian appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks will be served.

The three-day festival, which began as a small one-day meal for church members more than 40 years ago, will be held from Thursday, Aug. 16, through Saturday, Aug. 18.

“The food comes from pretty much all over the Middle East and we focus on things you won’t find at other festivals,” event co-chair Marylou Ashooh Lazos said. “We have meals you can order, which tend to come with rice and green beans cooked in a tomato sauce, or you can buy things like skewers or pies by themselves.”

Start off your meal with appetizers like hummus bi tahini (a mashed chickpea dip served with bread and sweet onions), tabbouleh salad with parsley, cracked wheat, tomato, lemon and spices, a tossed salad with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and a creamy vinaigrette dressing, or fatayer (an individual serving of meat or spinach with onions wrapped in phyllo dough).

The entree menu features barbecue kabobs like chicken, lamb or beef tips, or you can order a kibbeh platter.

“The kibbeh platter is kind of the unofficial national dish of Lebanon,” Lazos said. “It’s ground beef and lamb mixed with cracked wheat that is layered sort of like a loaf, and then it has pine nuts, lamb and onions. That’s served on a plate over bread with rice.”

Other options will include lamb or chicken shawarma, falafel with parsley, tomato and pickled turnip, and warak arish (stuffed grape leaves with lamb and rice cooked in a lemon broth).

There will be a wide variety of Lebanese pastries featured on the dessert menu, a favorite being baklawa, according to Lazos.

“It’s our own version of baklava that we get

together and bake,” she said. “Baklava tends to be heavier and the syrup tends to be stickier, but this is a crunch all the way through.

The phyllo dough is light and flaky.”

The coosa pita — a custard made with light-skinned summer squash — will also be served as well as almond butter cookies, date fingers, and a nut-filled pastry called maamoul, which is made with butter, flour, nutmeg and muhleeb (ground black stone cherry pits).

For kids and festival-goers not interested in sampling Lebanese cuisine, a small menu of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, french fries and fried dough will be available.

Lazos said church members have spent the last several months baking and freezing pastries, while the meats are marinated and then frozen. Other items like the spinach and meat pies are made fresh the week of the festival.

In addition to the food, there will be Arabic coffee made fresh during all three days of the festival, as well a standard bar of Arabic drinks like arak.

“Arak is an anise-flavored clear liquor that’s like ouzo but not as sweet and with a higher proof,” Lazos said.

There will be live music each day of the festival, according to Rev. Thomas Steinmetz. DJ Kibar Moussoba is this year’s emcee — he’ll be on stage on Friday. On Friday and Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m., the George Maalouf Band will perform, followed

by Middle Eastern vocalist Andre Keedy during the festival’s hours on Sunday. Line dancing, a craft marketplace, and a children’s area with a petting zoo and face-painting are other event staples.

Mahrajan Middle Eastern Food Festival When: Friday, Aug. 17, 5 to 10 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 18, noon to 10 p.m.; and Sunday, Aug. 19, noon to 6 p.m.

Tasty food from fresh ingredients

Zucchini One of the most incredible parts of having your own garden in New Hampshire is growing zucchini. Zucchini, in my experience, is the easiest vegetable to grow from seed, particularly because of how much it produces. I remember the first year of my garden, when I had no idea what I was doing, my zucchini plants were prolific.

While they grew in spite of my lack of skill and complete ignorance, there are certain important rules to follow when growing zucchini.

Zucchini is a kind of squash originally developed in Italy. The name comes from the Italian word “zucchino,” which means “small squash” in Italian (thank you, The Spruce Eats). They grow best in warm weather and should be planted after the risk of frost has passed. While I didn’t do this How to use zucchini 1. Spiralize it. If you are late to this craze, you need to hop on the bandwagon immediately. Get yourself a spiralizer (they vary in price and you don’t have to spend a lot!) and make some “zoodles.” Zoodles are edible raw as a base for a salad (think macaroni salad with no macaroni) or sautéed slightly in place of traditional spaghetti. In my experience, cooked zoodles work with tomato sauce, pesto and even cream sauce.

Particularly if you’re trying to lower your carb intake, zoodles are for you.

2. Mandoline it. With a couple of simple kitchen tools, zucchini becomes an incredible treat. Slice up some zucchini into super-thin circles, place them on parchment paper with a little olive oil on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes (but watch them closely!). Salt and pepper them and enjoy.

Hampton Beach my first year, zucchini ought to be planted in mounds and thinned to one plant per mound as it grows. The benefit of thinning is to bolster the strongest plant so it becomes a good producer. Zucchini plants do need space, so make sure to leave enough room between mounds, at least two feet.

Zucchini’s versatility makes it so easy to use. I’ve gotten pretty good at coming up with various ways to eat the incredible amount of zucchini my garden produces every year. Here are my favorite ways to eat zucchini.

— Allison Willson Dudas 3. Sheet it. The box grater I own has a feature that allows me to slice lengthwise and create a sheet with vegetables like zucchini or eggplant. If you’re super fancy and you own a KitchenAid mixer with a vegetable sheet attachment, do it up! Make sheets however you can with your zucchini (use a knife and cutting board if you have to) and treat it like lasagna. Layer it with ground beef, tomato sauce, ricotta and mozzarella and bake. So good!

4. Grate and save it. Sometimes you just end up with too much zucchini. Not to worry. You can freeze it! My favorite thing is to grate and bag zucchini in the perfect amount for my zucchini bread and chocolate zucchini cake recipes. I’ll label them and use them in the future.

5. Hide it. Grating zucchini makes it so inconspicuous. You can add it to smoothies or even your homemade tomato sauce for a nutritional kick.

I love red wine during the winter, but it takes a back seat during the summer months due to the heat. Can you chill it, though? This is the question many have asked, and one I asked myself during a recent vacation. We had a bottle of cabernet sauvignon in our wine chiller and I wondered who had put it in there and why.

According to Decanter.com, you can chill red wine, and it is not the cardinal sin that many think it is. Actually it is a much more common practice. You can actually consider chilling Beaujolais, pinot noir, valpolicella, cabernet franc and frappato.

According to the article I read, the cheaper or simpler the red wine, the better it is for chilling (if that is your thing).

According to Sarah Evans, MW, “fresher styles with good primary fruit flavors” are better for chilling. If you are considering chilling a red, think about the wine’s tannin and oak, because chilling it will bring out these characteristics.

Thinking of chilling a red but don’t know how long? Evans recommends chilling reds for a half hour and then serving them at a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. However, if you chill red wine too long you could dilute the flavors and then it won’t taste as good. You can also get a wine too warm, and then it could not taste as well from heat, either.

I mentioned frappato Italian wine, which is new to me. This is a wine I have not tried yet. It is an Italian wine from Sicily that is light-bodied wine with a grapey aroma. This wine is a good pairing with pasta dishes like spaghetti, Bolognese and lasagna.

Other wines that are good, according to WineCoolerDirect.com, include Lambrusco, Grenache, pinot noir, cabernet franc and zinfandel.

Is there a wine not on the list that you enjoy chilled? Then enjoy it! This is not a comprehensive list and only includes some suggestions but not all of them. I tend to find that the sweeter the red, the more I enjoy it chilled, but drink it how you like it.

I wasn’t sure what to make of this Boston-based, female-led trio at first. They really don’t put their best foot forward in LP opener “Double Down,” aping Joan Jett but without the punch — at first I thought this was some sort of Kim Carnes thing, like singer Leah Wellbaum sounded at first like a 50-year-old reminiscing about her days hanging at The Rat (lines like “I’ll wear what I want to” do not invoke mortal fear among the proletariat these days). But yeah, after that it’s fine, if the influences are worn on the band’s sleeve. Wellbaum’s Florence Welch-like lower-soprano is too good for “Planetarium,” which pickpockets the vibe from the Pretenders’ “Tattooed Love Boys” and without tossing out the wallet. I mean, it’s cool, and I do like her voice, don’t get me wrong, but there’s not enough rawness to make me think of anything edgier than a soapopera hottie having a punk-club scene. Is leather back in? Serious question.

Jeez, where has this stuff been all my life? This boy-girl duo bills itself as dream-pop, so I really was expecting the usual, but they’ve really got a nice formula.

The guy tabling the super-slick beats is Grant Cutler, a mixedmedia artist who appears to be as at home with deep house as he is with Wumpscut-goth, in other words this stuff has an eerie, monster-mansion thrum ratcheting softly underneath the sort of members-only lounge fluff that’s launched a million makeout sessions in Ibiza. The girl, Claire de Lune (I know, just bear with), is more of a bling fan, and with her as co-pilot, what you get is, well, pure ghostliness, like the perfect marriage between snap-dance and mild aggro. Yep, there’s even some Beyonce-friendly trap in the mix, and it really fits in well. I have no idea why this hasn’t been tried before — man, has Brooklyn indie grown up. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • For your Aug. 17 listening displeasure, we start with Death Cab for Cutie’s ninth album, Thank You For Today. Do you get the same laffs as I do when you read reviews of this basically-twee-but-won’tdon’t-say-that band, like they try so hard not to say, “Boy, it’s like the Pod People learned to make pretty sounds with their unplugged guitars, too bad the music just makes me remember I need to pick up groceries?” It’s so hard, because aging hipsters (yep, y’all are going to be eating actual fruit and letting your designer scruff grow into a neckbeard before you know it) like totally love them, so you have to tread lightly when you talk about the Cabsters. Gack, I may as well get this over with, let’s toddle off to YouTube, come along children.

Ah, here’s the single somebody was talking about, “Gold Rush.” Way kool groove here, like a low version of Vampire Weekend a little. The verse part is actually awesome. When does the bad part start, mom?

Eh, the hook is OK, like Beck would dig it, if that matters to you.

• San Francisco’s favorite corporate-garage-rockers Oh Sees are at it again. No, yeah, they have a new album, but I was talking about the name change. Like, they used to be The Ohsees, then they were Orinoka Crash Suite, and a bunch of others. It’s a tradition, see, because bandleader John Dwyer has this thing about firing band members, like it’s a thing with him. But yeah, it’s a new album, titled Smote Reverser. It should be awesome I’m sure. Here’s a song from the new album now, called “C.” Hmph, it’s kind of fast but chill. It literally sounds like a cross between Flaming Lips and Deep Purple, like literally right down the middle. I dunno, this really isn’t too bad at all.

Why am I being so nice today? Someone check me for mumps.

• Ah HA, here we go, there they are, it’s fractal-indie art-charlatans Animal Collective, daring to proffer their newest piddling, Pitchfork-prostrating piffle to the great and powerful Oz! Get over here, my little skinny-jeaned hacks, step forward! I can’t wait to get my hands on the new single from this new album, Tangerine Reef.

Ohhh boy, will they be sorry they ever dared. This had better be bad, because if I’m nice for much longer, someone’s going... Wait. No. NO! Gosh dang you darn dirty apes to heck! How am I supposed to hate something that sounds like a drunk Orbital trying to be quarterspeed afterparty stoner-rave? HOW? And it’s an “audio-visual album commemorating the Year of the Reef,” with weird glowy footage of anemones and cool underwater fishy-houses. Hmm. That was kind of… wait, that’s an octopus. Ha ha, I hate octopi so much, this album stinks.

• The farm is saved. It’s boring New Yark retro-weirdos Cults, with a new album! Have you even heard that one song of theirs, “Always Forever?” It’s like Gliss trying really hard to be awful, sort of a shoegaze-dipped-in-Raveonettes-sauce vibe, and the girl sings like Yoko Ono on helium. So what did they do? They re-did the entire Motels album from the 1980s! That’s what it’s called, freakin Motels.

The single is of course a cheap version of “Total Control.” Barf. — Eric W. Saeger

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

The Meg (PG-13)

Jason Statham fights a giant shark in The Meg, a movie that seems perfectly happy being sub-mediocre.

Idiot billionaire Jack Morris (Rainn Wilson) has funded a massive ocean lab in part to examine a theory by Minway Zhang (Winston Chao) that the bottom of a trench in the Pacific Ocean is not actually the bottom but a “cloud” layer beneath which a hidden world of prehistoric-like life exists.

Zhang’s adult daughter Suyin (Bingbing Li) joins him on the lab to help with the discovery and brings her daughter Meiying (Sophia Cai), because you need to have a little kid who can be imperiled in a movie like this.

A submarine full of potential redshirts (Ruby Rose, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson and Masi Oka) is sent into the trench, where first a giant squid and then a giant shark attacks their sub and they become stuck. Perhaps these massive animals are the same Something expert deep water rescue guy Jonas Taylor (Statham) once saw that led him to make a decision that saved 11 men stuck underwater but caused the death of others.

Though some on Zhang’s lab don’t want Taylor involved, the script reminds them that without a Statham to wear a scuba suit and just generally be ridiculous, there really isn’t much of a movie to this thing. Also, one of the red shirts is Taylor’s ex-wife.

Also, somebody has to have a romantic subplot with Suyin.

Taylor explains they’re fighting a megalodon, a massive shark that, if it escaped the trench (ooh, will it escape?), could chomp its way through ships and B-list supporting characters and beaches full of sunbathing extras. For example.

So what kind of movie is this? This is the kind of movie where a character can say, with perfect seriousness, “That living fossil just ate my friend.” This is the kind of movie where another character can say, “Hell yeah!” during a climactic shark-fighting moment. This is the kind of movie where characters get pushed into the water after a shark is killed and are unironically, like, “I’m glad that shark is dead and nothing like this will ever hap-

The Meg.

pen again” in such a way that the movie all but has an “insert shark here” sign at the spot in the frame where the next shark will appear.

This is the kind of movie that has, for no good reason, a shirtless Jason Statham scene and slows it way down so we get a good look at his abs. This is the kind of movie where a fun party game might be guessing in what order the characters will be eaten.

I don’t have a problem with all that, per se. And, I don’t entirely agree with the headlines for reviews of this movie that I have seen, suggesting that this movie needed to be dumber to succeed as “so bad it’s good” entertainment. I mean, it’s pretty dumb; this movie already feels very SyFy sequel, quality-wise, in its acting, writing and general storytelling. Comparatively, the “The Rock versus a building” movie Skyscraper feels like a smartly written bit of sense-making action. In fact, this movie, which while not uproariously bad is still moderately entertaining in its dumbness, would make a solid second half of a double feature with Skyscraper, for the part of the evening when the audience is punchier and less sober. CRated PG-13 for action/peril, bloody images and some language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Jon Turteltaub with a screenplay by Dean Georgaris and Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber, The Meg is an hour and 53 minutes long and is distributed by Warner Brothers.

HOT GRINDER

SANDWICH OF THE DAY

Dog Days (PG)

Cute dogs and their less interesting humans meet in Dog Days, a movie that feels like it got lost on the way to the Hallmark Network.

Actually, I don’t know that I’ve ever really watched a Hallmark movie but I’ve recently started listening to a podcast about Hallmark movies, and their descriptions lead me to believe this movie and that network would be perfect fit.

This movie also reminds me of the Valentine’s Day/New Year’s Eve Garry Marshall movies, with mostly light-hearted stories, lightly connected. Here, the chain goes something like this: Dax (Adam Pally) is an irresponsible musician who is tasked with taking care of his sister Ruth’s (Jessica St. Clair) and her husband Greg’s (Thomas Lennon) giant dog when she goes into labor with twins.

Dax lives in the same apartment building as Tara (Vanessa Hudgens), a barista crushing on a Handsome Veterinarian (Michael Cassidy) and being crushed on by nice guy Garret (Jon Bass). Tara finds a cute dog behind the coffee shop, giving her an excuse to talk to the vet and to form a friendship with Garret, who poured his life savings into an animal shelter?

(The question mark is because “put his life savings in an animal shelter” is apparently the universe we’re in.)

I believe retired widower Walter (Ron Cephas Jones) visits that shelter when he

loses his dog due to some strange bullying by bicycle pizza boy Tyler (Finn Wolfhard), who feels so bad about Walter’s dog running away and Walter’s subsequent heart attack (or something; also?) that he tries to help Walter find his dog. Which also leads Walter, a former lit professor, to help tutor Tyler through his summer school class.

Kurt (Rob Cordray) is one of Tyler’s teachers and, unbeknownst to him, he has actually found Walter’s dog. The dog becomes critically important to Kurt and his wife Grace (Eva Longoria) as a means of reaching Amelia (Elizabeth Caro), their newly adopted daughter. Initially quiet, she opens up to the dog.

Also bringing people together are the dogs of morning news show anchor Elizabeth (Nina Dobrev) and local sports star Jimmy (Tone Bell). Elizabeth’s on-air interview with Jimmy goes horribly but somehow the network decides it’s evidence of “chemistry” and hires Jimmy to co-host. They find some friendly common ground when their respective dogs make friends at a local dog beach.

All the dogs involved in this tale are, you know, above-average cute and, while I don’t really know from dogs, they have an adequate amount of personality. The people aren’t quite as engaging. Everything is very mild, very ranch dressing, very shelf-stable chocolate chip cookies. And, hey, I like ranch dressing, I like mediocre chocolate chip cookies, but nearly two hours of this kind of gentle soft rock story-telling is too much. The movie bored and annoyed me with its lack of anything interesting to pay attention to.

Sure, Adam Pally is fun even with very junior varsity material and every scene with Jessica St. Clair reminded me of how much I loved and miss Playing House. But otherwise Dog Days is a movie made for a specific audience (fans of dogs? fans of powder-puff gentle stories? fans of extremely chaste romances?) and I am not that audience. CRated PG for rude and suggestive content and for language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Ken Marino with a screenplay by Elissa Matsueda and Erica Oyama, Dog Days is an hour and 53 minutes long and distributed by LD Entertainment.

Topic No. 1 for almost every interview Shannon Larkin does lately is The Ballad.

Godsmack is known for being hard, heavy and relentless, but its new album contains a few changeups. For the first time, band leader Sully Erna collaborates with other musicians, co-producing with Erik Ron. Synthesizers crept into a few tracks. On “Unforgettable,” a children’s choir from Erna’s hometown provided another new brick in the wall.

But “Under Your Scars” got people talking unlike any other track in Godsmack’s catalog, which includes six Active Rock No. 1 songs and over 20 million records sold. Beginning with spare solo piano, it’s the first ballad they’ve ever done. While tender, it has the unmistakable Godsmack stamp.

“We spent the most time on that song simply because it’s really easy to veer into cheeseball world with the rock ballad,” Larkin said from a California tour stop. “We knew how important the arrangement would be, emoting the actual feeling of his lyrics.”

“Scars” is one of many very personal songs on When Legends Rise, Godsmack’s seventh album, released 20 years after their self-titled debut.

“I always write about things that have affected me on an emotional level,” Erna said in a press release.

For his bandmates, there’s often conflict in hearing the pain in Erna’s lyrics.

“As his friend, it’s hard to see when he goes through heartbreak,” Larkin said. “But as a band ... Tony and Rob and I look at each other and say, ‘well, we’re going to have a great record.’ Because then he writes all these songs, and he wears his heart on his sleeve … fans aren’t stupid; they can tell when something’s real, and so they can relate to his lyrics.”

Rombola play like that, so he becomes a household name. He deserves that just from the tone alone.”

Beyond that, they hope to inspire Godsmack fans to look backward.

“Our intent is to expose these hard rock kids to the genre of blues,” he said. “The Apocalypse Blues Review is the heaviest blues you’ll probably ever hear. Maybe they’ll search out and find all these legendary players [and] help bring it back into the mainstream American consciousness.”

He evokes Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi’s characters in The Blues Brothers to underscore his point. “It’s a mission from God … this ain’t your daddy’s blues.”

Godsmack is looking forward to playing for a hometown crowd in Gilford on Aug. 22, but the entire tour has been fun, Larkin said.

“It’s always nice to come where we know we’re strong, but we played L.A. and it was the best that this band has ever done in California [and] another sold-out show in Albuquerque was just amazing,” he said.

For all the buzz generated by the song, it hasn’t appeared yet in Godsmack’s current co-headlining tour with Shinedown — though Larkin said he hopes “Scars” is released as a single. The title cut, the muscular “Bulletproof” and “Unforgettable” are When Legends Rise cuts played at most shows.

“We’ve got to be very careful in picking our set list, where we put new material in,” Larkin said. “Keep the fans interested ... we don’t want them to say, ‘Let’s go get a beer.’”

Touring with Shinedown is especially satisfying, given the two groups’ history together.

“When their first record came out, we immediately agreed this band was killing it, so we took them on tour,” Larkin said. “We watched them rise to headliner status … to be out with them is like a big family reunion.”

Larkin joined Godsmack in 2002, replacing original drummer Tommy Stewart. His friendship with Erna predates that by 15 years, however.

“Coming through town often with different bands, Sully would pick me up at the gig ... I’d go to his apartment and do my laundry or whatever,” he said. “We were bros before I ever became a part of Godsmack and that hasn’t changed — if anything, as a band, we’re getting along better now than we ever did.”

Much of that harmony comes from their habit of spacing out work — making a record, touring it for a year or more, then taking time off for other projects. Erna’s made a pair of solo records; Larkin and Godsmack guitarist Tony Rombola’s side band, Apocalypse Blues Revue, just released its second album.

Larkin said the effort provides an outlet for his songwriting, and allows Rombola to expand his palette and shred a bit more, paying tribute to heroes like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Winter and Jimmy Page.

“Godsmack is a song-oriented band, more percussive than guitar-centered,” Larkin said.

“My mission is to get the world to hear Tony

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Hair today, gone tomorrow

Armed thieves in New Delhi, India, left a craftsman deep in debt after they made off with 500 pounds of wigs and raw hair worth more than $20,000 on July 27, according to the Associated Press. “People think wigs are cheap, but they cost a fortune to make,” wigmaker Jahangir Hussain said. In fact, he had borrowed more than $17,000 to buy hair last month from South Indian wholesalers. India exports wigs and hair extensions to the tune of $300 million a year; much of the raw materials are collected at Hindu temples where people shave their heads as a religious sacrifice, a practice called tonsuring.

The (im)perfect seatmate

Chicago cellist Jingjing Hu, a student at the DePaul University School of Music, found herself being escorted off an American Airlines flight on Aug. 2 after trying to return to Chicago from Miami with her instrument.

Hu paid in advance for an extra seat for her cello, worth almost $30,000 and housed in a hard case, and had no trouble on her flight from Chicago to Miami, where she participated in a music festival. But on her return trip, after boarding the Boeing 737 and settling herself and her cello into their seats, a flight attendant approached her and told her she would have to leave the plane because the aircraft was too small for her instrument. Hu was booked on a flight the next day on a 767.

American blamed the incident on a “miscommunication,” according to WBBM TV, but Hu’s husband, Jay Tang, said, “I don’t think we did anything wrong here, and I think the way they handled it was humiliating.”

Problem-solver

The list of offenses was long when Franklyn Williams, 32, appeared in Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court on July 31 to be sentenced for aggravated robbery, kidnapping, theft, misuse of credit cards and more — including cutting off his ankle bracelet late last year and fleeing to Nebraska, where he claimed he was hit over the head and lost his memory. But it was his courtroom behavior that spurred Judge John Russo to call for an extreme measure: During the hearing, Williams would not stop talking, even interrupting his own lawyers repeatedly over about 30 minutes. Finally, Russo ordered deputies to tape the defendant’s mouth shut, reported FOX 8 in Cleveland. Williams continued to talk until deputies applied more tape, and finally Russo sentenced him to 24 years in prison.

So many questions

When an employee of Sarabeth’s restaurant in New York City opened the walk-in freezer door on Aug. 5, a man jumped out, yelling, “Away from me, Satan!” and grabbed a knife from the kitchen, which he used to threaten

restaurant staff. Carlton Henderson, 54, of Cave Creek, Arizona, struggled with workers but eventually fell unconscious and was transported to Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the New York Post reported. Authorities don’t know (1) why and how he entered the freezer and (2) why he died, but they did determine he was charged last year with two 1988 coldcase murders in Boston. He had been released on bail the week before the freezer incident and was scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 14.

was inside the cockpit, sitting in the pilot’s seat, the Texarkana Gazette reported. Scott, not a licensed pilot, told officers he thought there wasn’t much more to flying a plane than pushing buttons and pulling levers. On July 31, he was charged with commercial burglary and attempted theft; he’s been grounded at the Miller County jail.

Nerd alert

Who knew? Apparently the unofficial “uniform” for Bay Area techies and venture capital investors is a vest, so the Japanese company Uniqlo is cashing in with a vest vending machine at the San Francisco International Airport. The airport’s public information officer, Doug Yakel, says the machine is no joke; it earns $10,000 a month on average. Do the math: At $49.90 apiece, the company is selling about 200 of its ultra-light down vests each month. “This is the first time we’ve had clothing available for sale from a vending machine, which we thought was very unique,” Yakel told Business Insider.

West Valley City, Utah, has a malodorous mystery on its hands. The community stinks, and for the past year, officials have been fielding complaints about the smell, which city communications director Sam Johnson described as “a musty sewer smell ... that you can smell in certain parts of the city stronger,” according to FOX 13. The city has now launched a campaign recruiting residents to help pinpoint the source of the odor: “If you smell something, say something.” They’re Least competent criminal hoping more complaints will spur Salt Lake The Baltimore Sun reported that a driver’s County and Utah’s Department of Environ- license examiner in Glen Burnie, Maryland, mental Quality to investigate and take action. got a whiff of something illegal on Aug. 6 when she approached a car about to be used Bright idea! in a driving test.
