GRANITE VIEWS JODY REESE

What’s next?

Would we create a public place funded by taxpayers where people could come and gather for free to better themselves, to learn new things, to explore?

In 1833, Peterborough, New Hampshire, did. It was the first town in America to create a taxpayer-supported library. It was a revolution of sorts, and it spread. Robber baron and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie helped fund more than 1,600 American libraries, and women’s clubs sprang up all over to support the construction and support of libraries. Less than a century later, most towns had public libraries.

The idea behind all this free access to information was just that: free access to information. We were building a civic society and most people agreed that to do that we needed people who had access to information.

In the end, local taxpayers continued to support these libraries, creating an enduring place in most towns where access to information was always free. As technology changed so did libraries by offering internet access. The library removed barriers to information.

Fast forward to today and libraries continue to serve as important centers of their communities. They continue to provide everyone access to newspapers, magazines, internet, films and books.

But should we be looking to the next library? A library with open access to technology? Where people can use 3D printers, build robots, learn to build their own apps, code web pages, use graphic design programs, access expensive databases and still read the latest Sports Illustrated?

There are a few libraries across the country offering access to some of these things, including 3D printers and robotics programs, with the help of community groups and philanthropic support from groups such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

But these sorts of programs and access seem the exception rather than the rule.

New Hampshire was a leader more than 150 years ago in public libraries and it would be interesting to see it take the lead again in reimagining what libraries can be for a community, what opportunities they can create. One of the reasons Andrew Carnegie supported so many libraries is that he saw them as engines of ingenuity, hard work and, ultimately, prosperity.

I don’t know that we look at libraries in such a utilitarian fashion any more (and that is probably for the best) but why not explore that role? Would we as citizens truly democratize technology?

Books too were once only for the learned.

NEWS & NOTES

Opioid lawsuit

The Merrimack Superior Court denied Purdue Pharma’s request to dismiss a lawsuit filed against it by the State of New Hampshire, according to a court order released by the New Hampshire Judicial Branch. Purdue Pharma manufactures and markets prescription opioids, including pain medication like OxyContin, Butrans and Hysingla ER. An initial complaint filed by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office in August 2017 alleged that “Purdue spent hundreds of millions of dollars on promotional activities and materials that falsely denied or trivialized the risk of addiction and overstated the benefits of opioids.” The resulting lawsuit by the state claims that Purdue violated the Consumer Protection Act, Medicaid Fraud and False Claims Act and other statutes, and the company is therefore “culpable for the deleterious effects of widespread opioid abuse” in New Hampshire. According to Kate Spinner, director of communications for the AG’s Office, “The Judge’s order effectively clears the way for the Attorney General to pursue the civil litigation case it filed against Purdue Pharma for the deceptive marketing of its opioids.

Next steps include the civil discovery process and we are looking for a trial date as soon as possible.”

Mental health plan

The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services announced it will hold public information sessions to seek input on the development of its 10-Year Mental Health Plan. The plan will provide an outline for addressing the mental health needs

of New Hampshire residents. Sessions will be held on Monday, Oct. 8, at Southern New Hampshire Regional Hospital (10 Prospect St., Nashua); Tuesday, Oct. 9, at Manchester City Hall (One City Hall Plaza, Manchester), and Thursday, Oct. 25, at the Department of Health and Human Services (129 Pleasant St., Concord). All sessions will run from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Online lottery

New Hampshire became the sixth state to introduce online lottery gambling, according to a news release. The platform, called “iLottery,” offers a menu of games, including popular draw games like Powerball and Mega Millions.

The platform will also offer eight e-Instant games different from traditional scratchcard games sold in stores. Within a year, the platform will offer a total of 24 e-Instant games. Since launching iLottery on Sept. 4, the New Hampshire Lottery Commission reported that 4,200 players have signed up for the platform, earning a total of $362,263 in winnings.

KIDS WHO NEED MEDICAL TREATMENT

In a new report, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services listed New Hampshire among the top five states with the highest percentages of foster kids being treated with psychotropic drugs without oversight. According to the New Hampshire Children’s Behavioral Health Collaborative, state law requires that specific treatment plans be developed for foster children who are prescribed these drugs. However, the study found that 76 percent of New Hampshire foster children did not receive some part of their treatment plan, while 23 percent did not receive a treatment plan at all. Other states listed in the study include Iowa, Maine, North Dakota and Virginia.

Erectile Dysfunction is Not A Sexual Death Sentence

123009

If you can’t stand the side effects of drugs like Viagra®, or you don’t want to take drugs to be able to enjoy intimacy, onset erectile dysfunction feels like being issued a sexual death sentence.

Let’s face it, erectile dysfunction can wreck your confidence, destroy your ego, damage your marriage, threaten a relationship and make you believe the best part of your life is over.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Over the last 15 years the Gold Standard Treatment in Europe, known as Pressure Wave Therapy, has helped hundreds of thousands reverse the symptoms of ED, reclaim their manhood and enjoy intimacy as often as they like, with no need for pills, needles or pumps. This therapy works well but we were not satisfied with these results alone. This is why we are the first in the nation to offer a combination therapy.

PRESSURE WAVE -STEM CELL INTEGRATION THERAPY is now available and results are pouring in.

John R. reports, “I’m 74 years old and had tried everything to get an erection. Nothing worked. I didn’t think anything could help me, until I tried this. Now I have the ability and the confidence to satisfy my wife in the bedroom.

Thank you for giving me my sex life back!”

Our success rate with these therapies is over 90 percent. The Pressure Wave-Stem Cell Integration Therapy helps remove plaque as it builds up in veins and arteries supplying blood to the penis, blood flow is restricted and you begin to lose your ability to get and maintain an erection.

Left unattended, the vascular infrastructure of your penis begins to collapse. Tissues, veins

and nerves shrivel up. Your penis shrinks. And part of what makes you a man fades away.

HOW PRESSURE WAVE -STEM CELL INTEGRATION THERAPY works and why it works so well...

Ninety percent of all ED is caused by restricted blood flow to the penis. That means the key to restoring normal, healthy function is to restore normal, healthy blood flow.

At our clinic, a male Registered Nurse performs a painless Doppler Ultrasound test to determine if blood flow is restricted and to what extent.

If a blockage is found and you are cleared for treatment, the Nurse uses a hand-held device to focus sound waves on veins and arteries with obstructed blood flow.

The waves move through tissue and 1) gently dissolve plaque that restricts blood flow; 2) activate your own stem cells that cause veins to regenerate and new blood vessels to grow and; 3) promote nerve growth that gives you greater sensitivity and more enjoyment.

The treatments take about 20 minutes. There are no known side-effects and no recovery time.

Umbilical Cord Stem Cells If your ED is mild to moderate, the Pressure Wave Therapy alone may solve your issues.

If it is more severe, the Stem Cell Integration Therapy will optimize your results. We use Umbilical Cord Stem Cells. They are proven to be highly angiogenic, meaning they create new blood flow and regenerate tissue like nothing we have ever seen.

Most men see significant improvement and are able to enjoy sex within three to five weeks.

Your next step is easy... Call now and return to intimacy without pills, needles, or pumps

HIPPO | SEPT 27 - OCT 3, 2018 | PAGE 5

In the weeks leading up to the general election, the Hippo is speaking with the major party nominees for the state’s gubernatorial and congressional races about the issues — and, to get the conversation going, about their thoughts on the best flavor of ice cream. The interviews here have been edited and condensed.

Chris Sununu (R) Gov. Chris Sununu was elected to the top job in Concord in 2016.

Before taking office, Gov. Sununu served three terms as an Executive Councilor starting in 2010, representing 32 cities and towns in Rockingham and Hillsborough counties. In the private sector, he previously worked as CEO of Waterville Valley Resort and as an environmental engineer.

What is the best flavor of ice cream?

Chocolate chip. It’s the best. Period.

What do you view as your most important accomplishment in your first term?

We really tried to do a couple different things.

We’ve tried to put kids first and foremost, which is why I’m proud of getting full-day kindergarten passed. Being able to put funds exactly where they need to be has allowed us to focus on the economy and create opportunity. My philosophy is to return property taxes back to the taxpayers. People talk about

Molly Kelly (D) Molly Kelly of Harrisville started her tenure as a state senator in 2006 and was reelected four times. She served as chair of the Governor’s Advanced Manufacturing Education Advisory Council and as a member of the New Hampshire Rail Authority and the Governor’s Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention, Intervention and Treatment. After leaving office in 2016, Kelly began working for the Center for Civic Engagement at Antioch University New England in Keene.

What is the best flavor of ice cream?

Mint chocolate chip. I love chocolate, and in the summer, mint is always so refreshing with vanilla ice cream.

creating property tax relief, but we’ve actually done it, including the $275 million we’re investing in our clean drinking water infrastructure. Health care is always a real central issue as well. We made sure we got Medicaid expansion done so that no one loses coverage, as well as focusing on veteran health care reform. We developed a gold standard in the country by allowing [Veterans Affairs] doctors to practice at any medical facility in New Hampshire. That’s the first time ever that had been done. There’s nothing we’ve left on the table. I’m a big believer that even when things are difficult, we have to give 110 percent and have tough discussions.

You supported a bill that would have created a voucher system families could use to enroll Two of the most contested bills of your first their kids in private schools. How do you term were related to the state’s energy indus- balance your support for investing in pubtry. Why did you feel these bills took the lic education as well as increasing school wrong approach, and what do you feel is the choice? best path forward instead?

SB 193 would have provided families with Those bills took the wrong approach some other choice or option for their child. because they raised what are already among All the local money for that child stayed in the highest [electricity] rates in the coun- the school. The actual dollars in the school try. The folks who end up paying those bills per pupil went up. Nobody wants to talk are regular New Hampshire residents who about that, but that’s the reality. The student can’t afford to pay those high rates any- wouldn’t be there, but all the local monmore. I don’t believe in supporting massive ey would be there. So the dollars in those

facing is the opioid epidemic. I would certainly want to see putting an end to all the suffering and devastation that the epidemic has caused. I just don’t meet a family today that has not been affected by this epidemic. As governor, I think there are some really necessary things that need to be done.

Enough has not been done. What we need to do to begin with is to look at this epidemic and treat it as an illness as we would any other medical epidemic. I don’t think we are there yet, and I would definitely work and fight every day to make sure we address it in that manner. Also, as governor, I would put forth an emergency, comprehensive plan that deals with prevention, treatment and recovery, and as I said, treats [the epidemic] as an illness. In that plan, I would be putting in support for children, who are real victims of this epidemic. We’re seeing the next generation being affected, and we need to put a stop to that, as well as supporting grandparents and foster parents and others who are really caring for these children, to try to keep these families as intact as we can. I have also always supported the drug courts, which I feel have been very successful.

What is one accomplishment you would want to achieve in your first term?

It’s always hard to pick one accomplishment when you’re looking forward to being To combat the opioid crisis, you’ve progovernor and to address so many of the issues. I think one of the biggest issues we’re posed increasing access to treatment while HIPPO | SEPT 27 - OCT 3, 2018 | PAGE 6

amounts of subsidies that only fund a small group of special interests. That’s not a viable plan for what we have to do to continue lowering energy rates. I took a very firm stand, and it was unfortunate one of the bills barely passed [with an override vote]. Other people talk about lowering energy rates, but we have a plan to do so. First we have to invest in our infrastructure, which will bring in better diversity of sources, like bringing hydro power down through Maine. But we have to be smart about how we invest in renewable energy like solar power. I’m all for solar power, but I want to see panels on roofs of low-income people’s houses and make sure they’re benefiting from solar energy as well.

We have to look at the social as well as the environmental impacts.

ensuring “long-term stable funding.”

How would you secure that funding, and what priorities would you plan on investing in first?

Certainly an increase in state funding. We know that under our current governor, Chris Sununu, there have been $100 million in tax breaks to [some of the state’s] wealthiest corporations. I feel like if we can do that in our state, then we should be able to address and provide stable funding for this epidemic.

Also, I would pass state laws to continue protecting people with pre-existing conditions so that those who are in recovery have access to insurance to continue to stay in recovery.

I am so very grateful to our federal delegation, who have been providing funding here in our state and they continue to do that. I will continue to work very closely with them to be able to provide that funding. It will then go to be applied to funding my comprehensive plan.

You’ve argued that health care is a right for everyone in the Granite State. Why do you believe that, and what would you do to expand access to care?

I do believe that health care is a right for everyone here in New Hampshire. It’s a right to access, and also to quality health care.

schools per student actually went up under our plan, and the individual families were given a pathway for them to decide what’s best for their family. It’s not about the government deciding what’s best. I don’t believe in that. It works for 98 percent of the kids out there, but it doesn’t for the 2 percent, where the traditional four walls of the school down the road for whatever reason don’t work for them. We have to allow those families to have some flexibility. Our plan only focused on low-income families; it only focused on those in the most need. That’s why it’s such a travesty that Democrats stood up and voted against this bill in block. I’d like to know how they explain to their constituents why they wouldn’t support those low-income families, providing them just a few options.

New Hampshire’s $7.25 minimum wage is the lowest in New England, and there’s a growing movement to bump that up to $15.

Would you be for or against this, and why?

Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would be drastic to our economy. When you look at the fact we have the lowest poverty rate in the country, we have one of the highest per capita incomes by household in the country, we’ve had the highest wage growth in the Northeast — these are all the results of a vibrant economy focusing on the things that matter to businesses and matter to employees to allow them to create their own 7

As governor, I want a New Hampshire that works for everyone, and not just a few. It’s not that we look at one child and say that child deserves health care, but maybe not for that other child. That’s unacceptable. As governor, I will always put the people first, and I believe that everyone deserves the right to quality health care. We can make Medicaid expansion permanent, and I will propose that as governor as well so that everyone has access to quality health care. And as governor I will continue to support Planned Parenthood, as they are a provider for women’s health care throughout our state. And as I said before, we will pass state laws to protect [people] with preexisting conditions and support our New Hampshire community health centers, which make a real difference to our rural communities throughout the state.

You’ve said you would veto legislation that redirects public education funding toward voucher programs for private or religious schools. Why? What would you say to people who support giving parents more choice over their children’s education?

I want to strengthen public education.

Chris Sununu does support school voucher programs, which we know takes money directly from our public schools and 7

opportunity. When you talk about doubling the minimum wage, which the Democrats are talking about, that would create such a crunch within some of these businesses, both large and small. A lot of the small business in our state don’t have the financial flexibility to manage that. There’s a certain amount of money that each business allocates to their labor force. When you double the minimum wage, everybody gets bumped up — those making $10 now go to $15, $12 go to $16, $14 go to $19. Everybody gets crunched, so at the end of the day, what happens? Well, you’ve seen in places like Seattle, people’s hours get cut. Their overall net income can drop, actually, because their hours are being cut back because the business now has to manage to do more with less. For some reason the Democrats think it’s a nice political talking point, but there’s almost nothing you could do to bring our economy more to a grinding halt than to just arbitrarily double the minimum wage for political reasons and then hope for the best. It doesn’t work. We’ve tied ourselves to the federal minimum wage, and it has worked. We have one of the most robust economies in the country.

What do you feel were the most effective measures you supported for combating the opioid crisis, and what areas would you look to improve on in your second term?

The most important thing we’ve done is 6

moves it to private and religious schools.

This weakens public education and then would raise our property taxes. As I said, I want to strengthen public education so that every child is able to reach their potential.

We know that children all learn differently.

We all learn differently, and we know that our children learn differently too. We have many choices within our public schools as options for children. ... Our public schools teach to the child, and that’s what’s important to them. ... I have been endorsed by the [National Education Association] and the [American Federation of Teachers], because they know my record in the state senate of supporting education.

You’ve proposed more than doubling New Hampshire’s minimum wage to $15 an hour. Why $15, and how would you help local businesses phase in that change?

New Hampshire actually does not even have a minimum wage. We default to the federal [minimum wage], which is very low at $7.25 [an hour]. That would equate to about $15,000 a year over a 40-hour workweek. To increase to $15 an hour in a 40-hour workweek would be closer to $30,000 a year, and that’s still very low for many people to be able to put food on the table and provide for their families. You and I know there are many people working two or three jobs just to get by. And as I said, as governor, I want to

to start completely rebuilding the system. ... Traditionally, the idea has been to throw money at problem and hope for the best.

We’re focused on creating a network of nine hubs across the state to offer better quality of services. We have a very centralized system in Concord and Manchester, and we want to make sure people no longer have to drive 200 miles south to receive care. There will be treatment options right in folks’ backyards.

We will start building systems out this January. We have to make sure we’re providing quality of services around the entire state and really expanding the number of services. Our program is also going to make sure we’re enhancing and working for public-private partnerships. The state was putting $3.5 million into the [Alcohol Abuse Prevention and Treatment Fund]. Now, we’re putting in tens of millions through a public-private partnership with our state hospitals. That will allow us to invest approximately $50 million over the next five years, which is almost a tenfold increase in the amount of funding.

Expanding Medicaid has been a divisive issue among Republican governors. Why did you sign the Medicaid extension this past May, and how will this benefit New Hampshire?

Looking at what we had, I knew we could figure out a way to do it and still save taxpayer dollars. I didn’t feel the way we were doing it was the right way. We worked directbuild a New Hampshire that works for everyone and not just a few. I’ve met with people as I’ve campaigned, and they’ve told me that it would really affect and improve their lives if we could increase the minimum wage here in New Hampshire. I met with a woman who spent all of her life working very hard in a nursing home, and now that she’s retired, her pension and Social Security don’t cover enough to meet her needs. She said, “If I could just earn $15 an hour, I could make it.” That’s all she was asking from me. Of course, I would collaborate with local businesses and need their input to determine how we can move to $15 an hour and to consider their needs and their thoughts in a collaborative manner.

As a supporter of legalizing recreational marijuana, what benefits would legalization have for New Hampshire? What do you say to opponents claim who claim marijuana is harmful and a “gateway drug”?

We are surrounded by states who have legalized [marijuana], and I do support legalizing, and also regulating, marijuana. And that’s important. We need to regulate to make sure those who are using recreational marijuana are the right age, and that we understand their use and where and when they are using it, just as we regulate alcohol in our state. If we regulate marijuana, we also know what is contained in marijuana, and

ly with administration in Washington, which provided us with more flexibility with combating the opioid crisis. We are saving money while working with folks on both sides of the aisle. I also believe the work requirement makes perfect sense. We are asking ablebodied, working adults to participate at a job or at a nonprofit, volunteer or go to school.

We’ve created it so it’s actually quite flexible, so they have time to go back to work and still support their families. At the end of the day, we’re asking for about 20 or 25 hours a week, which is very little to provide.

Why should or shouldn’t New Hampshire join the rest of northern New England in legalizing recreational marijuana? How have you directed the state’s law enforcement agencies to respond to a potential influx in out-of-state pot?

I haven’t directed our law enforcement to do anything other than to uphold the law, which they always have and I trust they always will. Our laws are actually very clear on the issue. They know what to do; they don’t need a governor telling them what to do. Will there be issues of it potentially coming across the border? Of course. But the law is the law and we expect them to carry it out. Those who say we should fully legalize marijuana right now because other states are doing so, that is not a reason to do anything, frankly, especially when you see some of the 8

we have more control and it’s less dangerous. I would also tax marijuana, and I think that would certainly be a benefit to our state.

I believe if we legalize and regulate marijuana, it would not be a gateway drug to other drugs because we have regulated it and we will have laws about how we use it. I think if we don’t, then there’s a better chance that there could result in some access to other drugs. But [legalization] would bring it out from the dark and to the open, and as a state, we’ll have more control.

difficulties that these other states are having implementing those kinds of laws. When you have the biggest opioid and addiction crisis that this state has ever had, now’s just not the time to do that, especially when you look at all the indirect negative effects that such actions can have. People look at Colorado all the time, but their opioid crisis isn’t getting any better. Seventy-five percent of the cities and towns in Colorado have banned it, because it really does affect the quality of life in a very negative way.

What’s something nobody is talking about right now that you think will become a critical issue in the next few years?

Maybe some of the issues we didn’t get done this time around, like Marcy’s Law, which provides equal rights of the assaulted as the accuser has in matters of assault. You have to make sure that the victims are represented appropriately in the court. It’s a fairly controversial issue, but I believe in it very

continue to produce clean energy for their hydro plant that would provide energy for their town buildings and also their schools.

Ultimately, it not only produces clean energy, not only creates jobs, not only is a renewable energy, but can also lower property taxes for communities like Nashua. There are many others, like Hanover, which has solar plants, that are really disappointed in the governor’s veto, because they were looking to move forward as well to produce more energy. This is in-state energy that’s clean, renewable and lowers our energy costs and also creates jobs.

What I see is that our governor is advancing Eversource’s agenda. He has received contributions to his campaign of over $50,000 from Eversource. I have not taken $1 from any corporation, because I will not be owing corporations anything. I am here to work for the people. As governor, I will put forth an energy plan with a vision for moving forward to reduce fossil fuels and increase renewable energy here in our state.

strongly, and we were able to join with a lot of advocates against domestic assault and violence and try to make the case. It got through the Senate, I think, but it didn’t get very far in the House, obviously. I want to keep making sure that those are the kinds of issues we stay on the forefront of, because I believe one of the foremost jobs of the governor is to ensure equal opportunity for everyone in the state, no matter what the issue is. Equal opportunity comes with fairness; fairness in the courts, fairness for victims of assault. I think that’s one of the issues we just really started talking about this past year. … A lot of times it’s about the ability to maintain an individual’s privacy while also affording them the rights to certain information and communication through a court proceeding, which can get very sensitive. … Now, there was obviously the ACLU and a few others who used their power of the union to fight this thing, because that’s just what they do. Thirty-five other states have these types of laws in place. There’s no reason we should be an outlier there.

What’s something nobody is talking about right now that you think will become a critical issue in the next few years?

When I think about what we’re not addressing that I believe will become an issue in the future if we don’t start addressing it now is prison reform. I think that we have to address what is happening in our prisons and who is there. It really comes down to two issues we have to address, which [are] poverty and education. We need to take a look at those as we look at the future of prison reform, for today and tomorrow. I do know that in many of our prisons, people are there because they did not receive an education or training or trades in order to have opportunities to take care of themselves and their families. They may have needed role models as well to encourage them in school, as well as mentors for them to help them see what other opportunities are there for them. And I think poverty is a real part of what we have seen in our prisons. We need to address those issues as we move forward, because I am concerned it will become a more critical issue if we don’t.

Pest peeves

State hit by historic West Nile Virus numbers

By Scott Murphy

smurphy@hippopress.com

Twenty-nine mosquito batches found in southern New Hampshire have tested positive for West Nile virus since the beginning of July — the most in five years.

As a result, Gov. Chris Sununu and the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services issued a public health threat declaration on Sept. 13, covering 29 cities and towns in southern New Hampshire.

In Manchester, the risk level for human illness has been elevated to “high.” Nine of these 16 batches were found in the Queen City.

“When we saw sustained activity at sites around the city, that bumped us pretty quickly from low to moderate to high,” said Philip Alexakos, chief of environmental health and emergency preparedness at the Manchester Health Department. “We collected our first positive batch [for West Nile virus] on July 16, which was the earliest we had detected a positive batch by about three days.”

West Nile was first identified in New Hampshire in 2000. The virus causes one of three mosquito-borne illnesses found in the state, along with Eastern Equine Encephalitis (or Triple E) and the Jamestown Canyon virus. The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Service announced Monday that it tested two mosquito batches in Newton and Sandown that tested positive for EEE. Abigail Mathewson, surveillance epidemiology program manager at the New Hampshire Bureau of Infectious Disease Control, said the main concern is “bridge vectors,” or species of mosquitoes that feed on both birds and mammals and can therefore pass West Nile (found in infected birds) to humans. People bitten by a mosquito infected with West Nile will likely notice flu-like symptoms within a week, including 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.

Though EEE has similar signs and symptoms to West Nile Virus, EEE can be a more severe disease and has a high mortality rate for those who develop encephalitis.

Severe season

Weather has been the main driver of this season’s buzzing activity. The Granite State has experienced “perfect mosquito weather,” according to Mathewson, specifically a combination of consistent heat and heavy rain.

While mosquitoes in general thrive in hotter weather, this summer’s pattern of precipi-

tation followed by sweltering heat has been particularly kind to mosquitoes that commonly carry West Nile.

“One of the differences between West Nile virus and Triple E is that West Nile tends to be found in what we would consider ‘container breeding mosquitoes,’” said Mathewson. “People aren’t paying attention to what they have in their yard. Anything that can pool water can be a breeding habitat for mosquitoes.”

That includes everything from flower pots to kiddie pools to wheelbarrows, which have had plenty of opportunities to fill up with rainwater this summer. Mathewson said it’s important for people to be mindful of these kinds of pools that might be forming on their properties and try to dump them out after heavy rainfall.

Though summer is in the rearview at this point, the risk of infection is still a point of concern. Mathewson said this is partially due to the perception that mosquito season is over, which leads more people to stop applying bug spray as frequently, if at all.

Meanwhile, Mathewson said mosquitoes will continue taking blood meals and laying eggs until the first hard frost kills them off.

This can lead to more mosquitoes with more options for people to bite, as well as more time to potentially become infected with West Nile.

“This is the time of year to be very aware of vectors and vector-borne diseases,” said Mathewson. “People should be mindful of that throughout the rest of the season until we have our first hard frost. Until then, the risk will continue to increase.”

Squash out risk

Alexakos and Mathewson both said prevention is key. They recommended applying DEET or another form of bug repellant, particularly when going through particularly forested areas.

Along with emptying out receptacles for rainwater, Mathewson also recommended homeowners keep their grass short and ensure there’s at least a 3-foot boundary between their property and wooded habitats that mosquitoes might call home. Homeowners could also get rid of bird feeders to eliminate the risk of mosquitoes contracting West Nile from an infected bird that stops by.

“Prevention is a 24/7 job,” said Alexakos.

“We want folks to realize that just because we have a positive batch ‘here’ and not ‘there’ doesn’t mean people shouldn’t use the same precautions.”

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Crisis intervention training

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and other officials announced that the National Alliance on Mental Illness of New Hampshire will receive $119,297 in federal grants. The money will be used to fund crisis intervention training for New Hampshire’s first responders on how to safely interact with individuals experiencing a mental health emergency.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: In a statement, NAMI-NH executive director Ken Norton said, “Law enforcement and Fire/Emergency Medical Services are often the front line in responding to individuals in a mental health crisis. … Due to their frequent exposure to traumatic situations, first responders are themselves at higher risk for PTSD, depression and suicide than the general population.”

Opioid funding approved

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration approved New Hampshire’s application for $22.9 million in federal funding for Fiscal Year 2018 to combat the opioid epidemic, according to a news release from Rep. Annie Kuster. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention granted $3.6 million to the New Hampshire Division of Public Health Services to support preventing opioid-related overdoses, while the Health Resources and Services Administration granted $2.8 million in funding to provide access points throughout the state.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The SAMHSA grant will be divided among agencies from across the state, including $518,000 for Manchester Community Health Center; $486,750 for Health First Family Care Center in Franklin; $350,250 for Harbor Homes in Nashua; and $276,720 for the City of Manchester. Agencies in Berlin, Littleton, Newmarket, Plymouth and Somersworth will also receive funding.

Patented success

Kempler Industries ranked New Hampshire as the seventh most innovative state in the country, based on the number of patents issued per capita over the past five years. The Granite State ranked at the top of the list in terms of reissue patents, or patents issued specifically to correct an error in an existing patent.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: According to the study, the 10 millionth patent was issued in the U.S. this past June. Issued patents have grown 183 percent nationally over the last 20 years.

Student debt

In its annual study on student debt, the Institute for College Access and Success found that New Hampshire’s 2017 college graduates had the fourth greatest amount of student debt in the country. The average New Hampshire college student graduates with $34,415 of debt, behind only Rhode Island ($36,250), Pennsylvania ($36,854) and Connecticut ($38,510).

QOL Score: -1 Comment: The study also found that 74 percent of the class of 2017 in New Hampshire graduated with debt, tied with South Dakota and West Virginia for the highest rate in the country. Minnesota came in next on the list at 68 percent.

With the Red Sox a week from beginning their playoff run, the Patriots in disarray and awash in as many distracting books as the White House, and the Celtics and Bruins on the horizon, there’s a lot to talk about. So we’ll jam as much into this space today as possible to bring all up to date.

The final tally was wins over Oregon State, Rutgers and 16th-ranked TCU by a combined score of 169-51 while Ryan Day filled in during Urban Meyer’s three-game suspension.

That probably makes him a hot name on the coaches-to-hire list come November.

If you’re interested, Nike sales are up 7 percent and the stock price hit an all-time high of $85.55 since the release of the company’s Just Do It ad featuring Colin Kaepernick.

Try to absorb this. Three weeks into the season the Cleveland Browns lead the Patriots in the AFC playoff race. Maybe all those people who hooted Bill Belichick out of Cleveland with a resounding “don’t let the door hit you on the way out” were right!

Probably not. But I remind all, I said this the week before the draft, in my column the week after the draft and I’ll say it again. Coach B made a big mistake not investing the two first-round picks he had in the 2018 draft in players to help make the defense better. True, the offense hasn’t been great either, but they didn’t need Sony Michael, because they could’ve re-signed Deon Lewis, who did not go for big money, or bring LeGarrette Blount back before signing with Detroit in free agency on the cheap. The D on the other hand was a disaster in the SB and still is.

Matt Patricia needs to lose the beard.

Looking like a wild man when you’re a defensive coordinator is one thing. But when you’re running the product side of a $2 billion company, scruffy doesn’t make

it. True or not, it fortifies the belief the ship is out of control because things are too loosey goosey.

I’m not sure if Mookie Betts’ five-RBI game when the Sox clinched the AL East at Yankee Stadium was validation for my belief he should be batting third, or for Alex Cora’s choice for him to be the offensive catalyst leading-off — because he did get those five batting first.

My vote for AL-MVP comes down to this: How much credit does J.D. Martinez’ presence in the line-up get for the dramatically better seasons enjoyed by Mookie and Xander Bogaerts over 2017 when the lineup had a power vacuum. If you think it’s big, J.D. is MVP. But if you think they each just had down years for reasons other than J.D., then it’s Mookie.

With 38 homers and 33 steals already, Cleveland third baseman Jose Ramirez, not Mookie (still two stolen bases short), is the majors’ first 30-30 guy. Throw in his 37 doubles and 103 RBI and it seems he should be more fully in the MVP debate.

Can’t believe the Josh Gordon trade with Cleveland dominated talk radio for nearly a week. From his two-plus years of drug-related suspensions to the Patriots’ Raiders-like willingness to take on reclamation projects on bad guys, it got greater scrutiny than the Steele dossier. Here’s my take: Eleven-time suspended Steve Howe never could kick it and wasted his talent, while equally addicted Josh Hamilton made it all the way to be a league MVP. Gordon will be one or the other, which depends entirely on how determined he is to stay away from his demons. On the field, he’s missed two full years and big parts of two others, which could have dulled his talents. On the up side, he has much less wear and tear on his body than most 27-yearold NFL players. Taking all into account, I give it a 15-percent chance of being a home run, which, given they’re desperate and the cost is just 35 or so slots in the 2019 draft,

makes it a worthwhile gamble.

Tom Brady credits the TB-12 way for extending his career into his 40s. Whatever blows your skirt up. But count me as skeptical since the only other non-kicker playing in any pro sport at 45 today is, ah, the portly Bartolo Colon. Who thinks he TB-12’d his way to playing at 45?

For the first time in quite a while Tiger Woods justified being the lead in any top golf story. And it’s great for golf he’s got his first even since 2013 Sunday at the Tour Championship, which seemed only a matter of time since finishing a strong second in the PGA. Good thing Buck Showalter is so much smarter than all the other managers as we’re constantly told, or Baltimore really would have been in trouble this year. He’s limited the damage to only being 66 games under .500 (44-110) and a closer than it looks 60 games behind Boston in the AL East.

How bad is the AL Central? Cleveland was the first team in baseball to clinch their division and will likely go into the postseason with the worst record of any playoff team including wild cards. Even Seattle could finish with a better record and they’re 8.5 back in the WC race.

Jacob DeGrom at 9-9, 1.77 ERA and 259 k’s is the Cy Young favorite. I’ve got guys who actually won games in Max Scherzer (17-7, 2.35 and 290 Ks) first and Philly’s impressive young’n Aaron Nola (16-5, 2.45 and 216) second on my ballot.

How is Brad Stevens going to divide up the playing time to keep people happy and the team winning? Probably a harder job than most think.

After scoring 10 points Sunday vs. Philly, Adam Vinatieri is just 34 points short of passing Morten Andersen to become the NFL’s all-time leading scorer. Oh, and one more thing about Adam V: He’s just turned 45 and I don’t think he’s using the TB-12/ Alex Guerrero way either.Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress.com.

Penmen golf in paradise

Returning to the Scene of the Crime Award: Crime may not actually be the right word. But Hooksett’s Matt Paradis did return to the scene of a summer triumph when he carded back-to-back 69’s to win medalist honors at the Penman Invitational at Hanover CC, where he won the New Hampshire State Amateur Golf title in July.

Sports 101: From most to least, name the five U.S. players who’ve played in the most Ryder Cup matches and how many.

Nick of Tyme Award: To West’s (here’s Johnny) Carson Filardo for scoring the goal that sent the game to overtime and then the one that won it for West in the Blue Knights’ 3-2 NHIAA soccer win over Milford.

Sister Act of the Week: The latest to be done in by the Brummett sisters was Monadnock in an 11-0 loss to Bishop Brady when Sheridan Brummett had four goals and five assists with three goals to sister Adrienne as she scored a hat trick to make the Green Giants jolly.

Honors: It would be tough to start the season any better than SNHU star Alex Satrutequi, who’s been named NE-10

The Numbers

4 – combined TDs by Jack Stinett (runs of 6 and 2 yards) and Josh Juneau (9-yard reception and oneyard run) to lead Goffstown to its first win 34-17 over Concord.

7 – wins against no losses for Central after 1-0 and 2-1 wins over Hanover and Salem when goalie Hayden Walker pitched his fifth shutout vs. HHS and Paolo

soccer Player of the Week in each of the first three weeks. The Spaniard earned the honors by going into the week as the national Division II leader in goals and points with 12 and 24.

Sports 101 Answer: The all-time U.S. leader in Ryder Cup matches played is Phil Mickelson, who went into last weekend’s competition with 47. After Mick it’s ’60s star Billy Casper with 37, current Ryder Cup Captain Jim Furyk and Lanny Watkins at 34 and Tiger Woods next with 33.

On This Day - Sept. 27 in 1964: The Philadelphia Phillies complete the astonishing collapse of blowing a 6½-game lead with 12 to play. To do it they lost their last seven games at home to drop out first place for the first time all year in Game 156 via a 14-8 loss to Milwaukee. They then lost three straight in St. Louis to be eliminated by the Cardinals, who had been given up for dead in late August. At the top of the list for why was Philly manager Gene Mauch’s lunkhead move to have pitchers Jim Bunning and Chris Short each start twice in the final week on two days’ rest.

Tedesco had the game-winning goal in both games.

8 – going one better number of wins for the Trinity soccer team. They got there with an 8-0 win over Monadnock behind two-goal games from Colby (carnival) Barker, Dom DiZillo and Ethan Frenette.

109 – magic number for Bedford wideout Lucien Mumpini and QB Thomas Morgan, who hit that num-

ber in receiving and passing yards respectively while collaborating on a couple of TD passes when the Bulldogs were 56-0 winners over Memorial.

Sports Glossary

Gene Mauch: The Buck Showalter of his day in being called “the smartest mind in baseball.” Despite being so smart, like Buck he never made the World Series, as manager of the Phillies, Twins or Angels.

Jim Bunning: Pitched a perfect game on Father’s Day, is the only pitcher to win 100 games in both leagues, struck out over 1,000 in each league, is one of the founders of the baseball union that made players gazillionaires before getting a real job as a congressman and then senator from Kentucky.

Here’s Johnny: Famed opening during the heyday of Johnny Carson’s Tonight show.

But since Carson was last on the air 26 years ago, a full eight years before the person the joke is attached to was born in People, Places and Other Stuff, it probably won’t go over that well with him or his generation.

Adam Vinatieri: Greatest Patriots kicker ever, who claims his life was saved by George Armstrong Custer. Yes, that George Armstrong Custer, the general and his 208-soldier battalion that was wiped out by Sitting Bull in the battle of Little Bighorn. As Adam V tells it, his great-great-grandfather was Custer’s band leader and was told to go to back to camp as the general’s company set out for Little Bighorn. No order, no Adam V, as great-greatgramps wouldn’t have been there to start the Vinatieri dynasty. Thus, Patriot Nation has Custer to thank for at least two of the Pats’ SB wins in the dynasty.

Though hiking among the state’s seemingly endless webs of trails in the fall takes a little more planning than summer hiking, the rewards are there: crisp weather, gorgeous foliage and fewer crowds. And with a variety of trail lengths and difficulty levels, nearly everyone can reap those rewards. Here’s a list of a few great fall hikes, plus tips on how to set yourself up for hiking success.

Be prepared “Ninety percent of your hike is the forethought,” said Beth Zimmer, co-chair of the excursions committee for the Appalachian Mountain Club’s New Hampshire chapter.

“The preparation you do at your kitchen table is more important than anything you do on the tail.”

While this is true for every season, fall hiking requires a different type of preparation, especially coming off the summer months.

Zimmer said people are sometimes caught off guard by the earlier sunset, and as with many aspects of hiking, relying on a cell phone isn’t always a sound plan. To avoid issues with battery life and shoddy reception, she recommended people bring navigation tools and a map that they’ve read in advance, as well as a headlamp for a hands-free light source.

“If you don’t know your sense of direcHIPPO | SEPT 27 - OCT 3, 2018 | PAGE 14

tion, your cell phone isn’t going to save you,” said Rick Blanchette, president of Friends of the Wapack Trail in Peterborough. “Always assume it’s going to take longer than you think it will. I always bring enough food and water and keep a headlamp in my pack in case I’m stuck out there.”

The changing sunrise comes with cooler weather, meaning shorts and a T-shirt won’t always cut it on the trail. Despite a particularly long stretch of heat this year, Blanchette said, there’s no telling how long the warm weather will last. In the meantime, layers are still a hiker’s best friend. If it’s too hot for long sleeves at the start of a hike, Zimmer recommended packing a fleece or wool jacket or sweater in case it gets cooler than expected. She said a lightweight knit cap and gloves are also wise investments.

“Especially when you’re climbing, you’ll be hot going up and cooler coming down,” said Blanchette. “You should be able to put on and take off layers accordingly.”

Covering up is also an important way to protect against ticks and mosquitos. Blanchette said these pests become less of a problem further into the fall season, but DEET or other bug sprays are still important precautions to take whenever you’re out in wooded areas.

(See p. 9 for more on how to stay safe).

Zimmer added that fall can also be slipperier because of the leaves on the trail staying wetter longer, which may also be covering up roots waiting to trip unsuspecting hikers.

Even in drier conditions, she said, watching the trail and preparing for an emergency are key. Hikers should let someone know when they’ll be back in case they get stuck on the trails. Zimmer said a rescue mission could still take some time on an hour-long hike, let alone a mountain or longer trail.

“For smaller hikes, people think, ‘I’m just going to pop up and pop down.’ But if they twist or break an ankle, they need to be prepared,” said Zimmer. “It’s important to think ahead of time about not only what you need for the hike, but also what you’ll do if you can’t finish the hike.”

Of course, what a hiker will need depends on their experience level, and taking on a local trail versus the Presidential Range will mean something different in terms of preparation. But Zimmer said planning in advance, and referring to guides like the Ten Essentials (see box), can help people stay safe and “keep everything moving and grooving.”

5 fall hikes As the fall foliage starts coming out in full bloom, there are a number of noteworthy hikes in Southern New Hampshire that offer scenic views and some equally fun posthike activities. Here are a handful of trails to explore on a crisp fall day, including hikes through a ghost town, alongside multiple waterfalls and up to one of the best lookouts in the state to appreciate the season.

Adams Pond Trail, Londonderry

Apple picking is among the most quintessentially “New Hampshire” activities enjoyed in the Granite State each fall. The Adams Pond Trail in Londonderry is bookended by two orchards owned by Mack’s Apples (230 Mammoth Road, Londonderry).

In between, hikers will find a scenic, wooded walk leading to loops around both orchards and plenty of fall sights along the way.

Londonderry Trailways, a nonprofit that maintains the town’s trails, refers to the entire hike as the “dog bone” loop. The north orchard (along Pillsbury Road) offers a 0.6-mile loop, while the south orchard (along Adams Road) has a slightly longer 0.8-mile loop.

Parking is available at both orchards and along a dirt road between Pillsbury and Mammoth roads.

Pick-your-own is available daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the apple season, so you can combine that activity with your hike.

“There’s not just a single trailhead; people can walk into either orchard and go into the trails,” said Pollyann Winslow, a volunteer with Londonderry Trailways. “If people are enjoying the trail in the fall, they can pick one variety of apple one one end and perhaps pick another variety on the other end.”

Along with the connecting trail, the hike is about three miles round-trip. The main segment stretches a 0.75-mile route through the woods between both orchards. Volunteers have installed foot bridges over particular-

ly marshy areas of the trail, and eventually hikers will find themselves at a clearing overseeing Adams Pond. Along the way and especially by the pond, Winslow said, hikers often report animal sightings.

“People shouldn’t think just because it’s located in the community that it’s a neighborhood walk; it is definitely a wooded walk,” she said. “The minute you get on the trail, they wind through scenic woods, and you usually don’t hear any traffic or see any houses.”

Winslow suggests stopping by the Morrison House Museum (40 Pillsbury Road, Londonderry). Originally built in 1760, the house is designed to appear as it would have in the mid-19th century.

Monson Center Property, Hollis & Milford

You may not find Monson Center on a New Hampshire map, but you might find something mysterious where it used to be.

The former colonial settlement is tucked away on 269 acres in both Hollis and Milford with plenty of fall-friendly hiking trails.

The entrance can be found a short walk from 508 Federal Hill Road in Milford. Parking is available on Federal Road and in front of the gate at the top of Adams Road, which leads down to the property.

The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests in Concord purchased the property in 1998 after it was threatened by a proposed 28-lot subdivision. More than two centuries earlier, the land was home to Monson Center, one of the first inland settlements in New Hampshire. Six families established the modest village in the 1730s in what was once a part of West Dunstable, Mass.

Just a few decades later in 1770, the village was abandoned for still unknown reasons.

No records of the families’ decisions remain, but Carrie Deegan from the forests society said historians have speculated whether the move was due to political differences, Native American tribes, trouble surviving or something else.

“There’s a history shrouded in mystery,” said Carrie Deegan, volunteer and community engagement manager for the forests society. “The fact we don’t know what happened in the community entices people to

come and explore.”

What the settlers left behind is now home to an outdoor fall highlight in the greater Nashua area. The former roads of Monson Center now make for a historical walk through a rural ghost town, complete with signs for where homes used to stand and the outlines of their cellar holes. Winding through more than 150 acres of forest, hikers can expect a three-mile round trip on the main trail. Several narrower trails branch off and connect back farther on up the road.

“It’s a neat place, because the trails you walk on were the actual roads of the community,” said Deegan. “There’s also some special wildlife spots, like a wetland area on one of the trails and a big beaver complex.”

One building, named the “Gould House,” still stands on the property. Believed to have been a clockmaker’s shop, it is now a museum. A volunteer will occasionally man the house and offer history on the property.

Deegan added that visitors can enjoy about 15 acres of open fields.

Some of the property’s visitors include paranormal investigators. Deegan said the forest society still gets requests from crews looking to prove that the property is indeed a “ghost” town. Though Deegan said visitors haven’t shared any convincing evidence, author and hiker Marianne O’Connor said she’s heard of different sightings over the years.

“It’s a very spooky place; people say they hear drums and other strange sounds,” said O’Connor, author of the book Haunted Hikes of New Hampshire. “Supposedly there’s a cemetery on the land that’s never been located.”

Mountain Road, which runs down into the South Ridge Trail.

Each of these trails leads to the same, scenic view from atop the firetower. According to Patty Driscoll from Pawtuckaway’s camp office, the hike is relatively flat until the summit of the 908-foot South Mountain. But the view at the top will be more than worth it for fall enthusiasts. On a really clear day, Driscoll said the Boston skyline is visible from the top of the firetower.

Families might also want to use the fire tower as part of some experiential learning.

The New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands offers the “Fire Lookout Tower Quest Program” to hikers of all ages. After visiting five of the state’s 15 fire towers, hikers can fill out a form to send to the division, which will earn them a free patch, certificate and letter of recognition.

“These are historic structures that harken back to a day where a forest fire might not have been discovered for a number of days,” said Chris Gamache, chief of the New Hampshire Bureau of Trails. “We are one of the last remaining states with actively manned fire towers, which were strategically placed on different peaks around the state.”

Besides the fire tower hike, several other hiking opportunities are located on about 30 miles of trails around Pawtuckaway. Trails lead to a large marsh with wildlife aplenty, as well as a unique field with large boulders deposited when glacial ice melted near the end of the Ice Age. Single-day admission to the park costs $5 for adults and $2 for kids ages 6 to 11. The park is always open for recreation unless otherwise posted.

Purgatory Falls Trails, Mont Vernon & Lyndeborough

Purgatory Falls is composed of a waterfall trio. The upper and middle falls are located close together at one end of the trail near the Lyndeborough border, while the lower falls is located near the other end in Mont Vernon. Roundtrip, the Purgatory Brook Trail runs six miles, with the threemile Wah Lum Loop Trail located close to the upper and middle falls.

Joanne Draghetti, chair of the Mont Vernon Conservation Commission, said the entirety of the trail is beautiful and scenic.

However, she added that it’s also made up of mixed terrain with some steep, challenging trails near the upper and middle falls.

The trails around the lower falls are easier to access, but even so, Draghetti preached preparation.

“Safety, safety, safety — I can’t stress that enough,” said Draghetti. “Sometimes people are lulled into a false sense of security here [in southern New Hampshire] because it’s not the White Mountains.”

Even so, Draghetti added, the entire trail has incredible views, and there’s something for every skill level.

“It’s a nice rural area, and we feel you have to be proactive,” said Draghetti. “If you have a valuable resource in your town that you cherish, you better work on protecting that. They don’t make land anymore.”

Parking areas are available on Dow Road and Purgatory Road in Mont Vernon, up the road from Fitch’s Corner Farmstand (499 N. River Road, Milford) and on Purgatory Falls Road in Lyndeborough. Visit montvernonnh.us.

Windham Rail Trail

Nothing caps off a hike quite like some good eats. Within walking distance of the Windham Rail Trail is the appropriately named Windham Junction Country Gift Shop and Kitchen (128 N. Lowell Road,

Windham), where visitors can find menu items like shepherd’s pie, classic Reubens and good ol’ fashioned burgers.

The sights of the season on the trail itself make for a noteworthy fall excursion on its own. Just over four miles of paved trail includes more natural trails branching off into the woods. Trees running alongside the main trail are especially vibrant in the fall months. The mixed amenities of the trail lead to blended uses, in terms of biking and hiking as well as age and skill level.

“No pun intended, but you’ll see folks from all walks of life on that trail,” said Mark Samsel, president of the Windham Rail Trail Alliance. “You’ll see four generations on the trail at any given time, and that’s why we do it.”

Parking is available at the restored Windham Depot on Depot Road. Built in 1849, the depot buildings were part of an expansion north of Boston by Manchester & Lawrence Railroad. The former Boston and Maine C16 caboose will sometimes visit the property to bring that history back to life.

The Rail Trail project holds its own place in local history. Starting in 2006, Samsel said, the Rail Trail Alliance used a combination of grants and donations to fund the nearly $1 million project. The last half-mile of pavement was finished in 2015, completing what Samsel described as a community effort. Of the funding the nonprofit used, 87 percent came from private donations.

The Ten Essentials of Hiking Founded in 1906, the Mountaineers is a nonprofit focused on outdoor recreation, education and conservation. The group started developing “The Ten Essentials” in the 1930s and has updated it over time. While hikers may not need every item on every trip, the Mountaineers say these outdoor essentials can be lifesavers in an emergency.

• Navigation: Map, altimeter, compass, GPS device, PLB or satellite communicators, extra batteries or battery pack.

• Headlamp: Plus extra batteries.

• Sun protection: Sunglasses, sun-protective clothes and sunscreen.

• First aid: Including foot care and insect repellent.

ARTS Weathering life

Nashua Theatre Guild produces drama by local playwright

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Warmth of the Cold, an original play by Nashua playwright Lowell Williams and winner of the 2006 New Hampshire Theatre Award for Best Original Play, returns to the stage for the first time in nearly 10 years Friday, Sept. 28, through Sunday, Sept. 30, in Nashua, produced by the Nashua Theatre Guild.

Set in winter in 1990s Berlin, New Hampshire, the play follows Carol and her teenaged children Robby and Samantha seven years after their husband and father, Hal, was killed in a truck accident. Plagued by financial hardship, as is the rest of the town, and haunted, literally, by the ghost of Hal, the family struggles to move forward and reestablish its identity. Carol still talks to Hal and appears to have gone mad, Robby feels stuck and Samantha, who is offered a college scholarship, wonders if she can leave her mother and brother behind.

“There’s a personal story and an arc for each of the characters, including the father, even though he’s dead,” said Williams, who is also directing the play. “It’s deep, complicated and emotional stuff.”

Williams has written many plays, but this

production of Warmth of the Cold is only the second time he has directed one of his own plays.

“I think it takes a deft hand to direct it, and I was afraid to give it to someone else who might not understand what it’s about,” he said.

When actor Doreen Sheppard, who is playing Carol, first read the script, she was drawn to the complexity of Carol’s character.

“She seems a little weird, like she’s not a real person. It’s almost unrealistic, like a melodrama, but when you really look at all the things she’s doing and thinking and feel-

ing, it makes sense,” Sheppard said. “As an actor, finding a character like that to unravel is gold.”

The show is mostly dialogue-driven, and the little action that does happen involves Robby and Samantha more than it does Carol, so it has been a challenge, Sheppard said, to play Carol in a way that doesn’t make her seem one-dimensional.

“She’s inside her own head and doesn’t move around a lot, so I really have to use posture and facial expressions to show the audience what she’s feeling, and to make sure she doesn’t just seem like a blob on stage,” she said.

To get inside the mind of Carol, Sheppard reflected on how she and the women she knows cope with life transitions like having an empty nest or losing a spouse. She concluded that, while Carol “seems like a crazy lady on paper,” the character is actually quite relatable.

“You think she might be a little mentally or emotionally ill, but really, she’s just a woman who is profoundly sad and confused and completely unprepared for this next step in her life,” Sheppard said. “The things she thinks and feels are the same as most people would; it just comes out in a different way for everyone.”

22 Art

The setting, winter in particular, also plays a big part in the play, and that is reflected in the set. Williams said he doesn’t want to give too much away, but that the production has a “big team of [set] designers” and “an elaborate set design.”

“The weather acts as another character in the play. That’s why the title is Warmth of the Cold,” he said. “In fact, the play is as much about the place as it is about the characters. Despite it being so difficult to live there, it never occurs to Carol to leave. It’s her home.”

Although the play does tackle some heavy subject matter, Sheppard said “it’s not as bleak as it might sound.”

“There is redemption in the end for everyone, and I think people need to know that,” she said. “The characters do move forward in their own ways.”

28 through Oct. 6, with showtimes on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m. The play is set in 1833 in County Donegal, Ireland. Languages and histories collide between a group of neighbors who gather regularly at an Irish-language hedge school to study classics of Greek and Latin literature, and a prodigal son of their own, who returns from Dublin with two British army engineers who wish to the map the country, draw new borders and translate the names of local places into the King’s English. “Not only is Translations a beautiful exploration of the power of language, but it also has to be one of the smartest plays the company has ever produced,” director Matt Cahoon said in a press release. Tickets cost $20 for adults and $15 for seniors and students, in advance. Visit tkapow.com.

Beaver Brook hosts annual Fall Festival & Art Show

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Art and nature come together during the 38th annual Fall Festival & Art Show at the Beaver Brook Association in Hollis on Saturday, Sept. 29, and Sunday, Sept. 30. The event features a nature-themed art show, animals, guided hikes and more.

“We keep the whole festival about nature,” Kelly Walker, one of the event coordinators, said. “From the artwork to the types of activities, it’s all a nice opportunity to explore and learn about nature.”

Dozens of local artists will display their paintings, photography and mixed media pieces in the art show. It’s non-juried, and anyone is invited to participate as long as their work is nature-related. This year’s featured artist is photographer Ken Harvey of Merrimack. There will also be a children’s art exhibition featuring art by local students.

Judges will award prizes for the best pieces in both exhibitions.

There will be a number of live animal programs, including Wingmasters “Birds of Prey,” which includes birds like raptors, eagles, hawks and owls; Eyes on Owls, where spectators will meet different kinds of owls, participate in a hooting lesson and learn tips on how to attract and protect owls; and Wildlife Encounters, which brings a variety of animals for people to see.

Children & Teens Children events • THE GREAT MASSABESEEK! A family-friendly scavenger hunt Sat., Sept. 29, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Massabesic Audubon Center, 26 Audubon Way, Auburn. $20 for adults; $12 for kids over 3 and free for kids under 3. Visit thegreatmassabeseek.com.

“They’ll provide information about the animals, and sometimes people get to pet them,” Walker said. “In the past, they’ve brought things like a chinchilla, and maybe a snake.

You never know what they’re going to bring.”

Additionally, the Carriage Shack Farm from Londonderry will bring a petting farm with animals like pigs, rabbits, sheep, chicken, goats and ducks. Pony rides will be offered for a fee.

Other educational experiences will include a program about honey bees and a sensory pollinator garden, an interactive cider

pressing demonstration and a spinning demonstration using rabbit fur. Kids of all ages can participate in nature crafts, and there will be a station set up for making Boomerang Bags, reusable shopping bags made from upcycled T-shirts.

“Boomerang Bags NH is a local effort to educate people about plastic pollution and waste reduction,” Celeste Philbrick Bar, education and community affairs director, said.

“People can take home a free Boomerang Bag if they take the pledge to use recycled shopping bags instead of single-use plastic.”

Always popular at the festival, Walker said, is the campsite set up with tents and a fire pit where visitors can roast their own hot dogs.

“If someone has never been camping or been in a tent before, they can try it out,” she said, “and the kids love to go inside the tent and explore.”

Food including homemade soups, mac and cheese, hamburgers, prepared hot dogs and caramel apples will be available for purchase.

Local musicians will play live music on both days of the festival, and a couple vendors will be onsite selling architectural birdhouses and maple syrup made from sap from trees on Beaver Brook property.

Lastly, Beaver Brook educators will be giving leisurely guided hikes on Beaver Brook’s trails.

“We hope [the festival] will get people more familiar with Beaver Brook and what we do,” Walker said. “A lot of people still don’t know that we are here and that there is all this beauty and nature to experience so close to home.”

Most of us think about planting seeds in the spring, but there are lots of plants that can be planted by seed now, especially wildflowers.

One of my favorite wildflowers is Jack-inthe-Pulpit. In the spring it produces a single well-hidden blossom beneath its large leaves.

The plants are either male or female, and it is only the females that produce seeds. Right now in my woods and shade gardens the bright red seeds are visible in nice clumps and are ready to harvest and plant.

The seeds of Jack-in-the-Pulpit contain calcium oxalate that can be an irritant to your skin. So you may want to wear latex gloves to handle the seeds. The easiest way to prepare seeds for planting it to put them in a blender with a cup of water and give them a quick whirl. The red mushy part comes right off, leaving clean white seeds. Once the seeds are clean and dry, they are fine to handle with bare hands. Removing the pulp on seeds removes compounds that inhibit seed germination.

Pat the seeds dry with a paper towel and plant immediately. Don’t let them dry out.

I use my CobraHead weeder to loosen the soil, then place the seed on the surface and lightly cover with soil and forest duff. Next spring each seed will produce a single round leaf, and it will be 3 years before a plant will blossom.

If you like eating ramps or wild leeks, you should start a patch of your own. Go out now to the forest where you have harvested wild ones in the spring to see if you can recognize the plants and harvest seeds.

These tasty onion-family wildflowers show their leaves in early spring, then after the leaves die back they flower with dainty white clusters of blossoms just 5 inches above the ground. When the seeds turn black and the stems start to turn brown, they are ready to harvest in August to September. By now, most of my plants have dropped their seeds, but I found a few still good to pick this week.

I plant them by raking off the leaves of the forest floor, scratching the soil surface, and sprinkling the seeds. I pat the soil, and put leaves over the seeds.

Blue cohosh seeds are ready to harvest and plant now. I have one big clump that I transplanted a decade or more ago, and it has gotten bigger every year, but no new plants have shown up. This year I decided to get proactive. The deep blue seeds are ready to pick.

According to my wildflower bible, Growing and Propagating Wildflowers by William Cullina, what appears to be a berry is actually just a seed with the fruit being the extension of the seed coat. He advises removing that by cleaning in a blender or to ferment the seeds

Jack-in-the-pulpit seeds.

in water for a few days until it falls off. The advantage to the blender is that it will nick or scratch the hard seed coat, making germination easier. Like Jack-in-the-pulpit, blue cohosh will produce just one leaf the first year, as it uses its energy to develop its roots.

Other wildflowers that I am collecting seeds from now include Japanese mayapple and false Solomon’s seal. I bought my Japanese mayapple from The Fells, a nice non-profit garden and historic estate in Newbury on Lake Sunapee. They offer a good variety of unusual plants each summer.

I particularly like the Japanese mayapple because, unlike our native mayapple, the blossoms appear above the foliage instead of hidden below the large leaves. By collecting and planting seeds I may be able to significantly increase my display with no added expense, so long as I have patience. Most wildflowers take three years from germination to flowering.

Wildflowers often require a period of “vernalization.” This means that they need a cold period between the time they are planted and when they germinate. This ensures they don’t start growing now, when winter is just around the corner.

Aside from wildflowers, this is a fine time to plant seeds from annual poppies and foxgloves. Just harvest the seed pods of poppies and check to see if they still have tiny black seeds — just tip a pod upside down and the seeds should fall out into your hand. I sprinkle them now, or in mid-winter, and they always produce some flowers the following summer.

At this time of year I often pick foxglove stems and shake them over bare soil where I would like more plants. Since foxgloves are biennials, it’s a two-year process. Next year a few of the hundreds of seeds I disperse will produce rosettes of leaves, and the following year they will flower.

Starting flowers by seed does take patience, and knowledge about how and when to do it.

For more on the techniques and requirements of growing wildflowers I highly recommend Bill Cullina’s book, mentioned above.

Dear Alison, I have had a few of these style seats before. Some were two, three and even four connected seats. They would make a great bench next to a table or an entry.

There are lots of them around but harder to find in the natural finish and in good condition. Some are from stadiums, theaters, etc., from around the early to mid 1900s.

Prices for them are in the range of $150 for two, a bit more for three and even higher for the fours. But as with everything else, condition is everything. So seats that are painted like yours and with some damage, if they are structurally OK for use I would say their value is under $100 — more like $50 range. If they can be used, I think someone might even enjoy them painted.

Note: I just want to let everyone know that I will no longer be a shop owner. I have decided to slow things up a bit and still buy and sell, but at shows and other forms. I

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Best not to rely on reserve fuel when gauge reads empty Dear Car Talk: Please confirm whether this rumor I’ve heard is true: When the gas gauge is on “E,” there are still a few gallons in the tank. I’ve heard that

By Ray Magliozzi over the years and cannot find any confirmation. — Diane Yes, in my experience, it’s true for most cars. Lots of modern cars have “miles to empty” digital readouts now, and those seem to have less in reserve and are pretty accurate. But cars with traditional fuel gauges have, on average, a gallon or two left in the tank once the gauge reads empty. It’s what the manufacturers call “moron insurance.”

Gauges are designed that way so that if you mess up, and forget to get gas, and suddenly notice the tank is on empty, you’ll still have enough fuel to make it to a nearby gas station. The system was vehemently opposed by the Tow Truck Driver’s Association, who felt it was severely cutting into their 401(k)s.

Carmakers rarely talk about the gasoline reserve, with good reason; they want you to forget about it.

HIPPO | SEPT 27 - OCT 3, 2018 | PAGE 28

It’s like that emergency hundred dollar bill you stuffed into a hidden pocket in your handbag. If you were always aware of it, it’d probably be a pair of shoes by now.

Similarly, it’s better not to count on any reserve fuel, and be blessedly relieved that it’s there when you need it.

But remember, “a gallon or two” is just our estimate. If you want to know exactly how much fuel remains in your own tank after the gauge reads empty, there’s only one way to find out.

Download the latest “Car Talk” podcast so you have something to listen to, put two gallons of gas in a gas can, and start driving. When the gauge hits “E,” reset the trip odometer to zero. Then check it again when you coast over to the side of the road. Divide that number by your miles per gallon, and you’ll know how much of a reserve you have. And then forget all about it, and fill up every time you get down to a quarter tank.

Dear Car Talk: I have a 1991 Volvo 240 with 220,000 miles. I had the original clutch replaced at 174,000. When I park on a steep incline, the car rolls. The parking brake

never works, but I should be able to park it in gear to prevent it from rolling, right?

My mechanic is mystified, and says nothing is wrong with the transmission.

Given that I have no plans to move to San Francisco, it’s a minor issue. But I’d like to know what is causing it and get it fixed, if possible. Thanks. — Bill This is your most serious problem, Bill?

When you park your car in gear to keep it from rolling, you need two things: You need good engine compression, to prevent the pistons from moving. And you need a good clutch, to keep the engine solidly connected to the wheels. If either the clutch or the compression is weak, the weight of the car (and this is a heavy car) combined with the slope of the hill can overcome the holding power of the engine.

Let’s assume, for the moment, that your clutch is still good since it was replaced 45,000 miles ago. That leaves engine compression. And with 220,000 miles on this old beast, I’d say your compression is the prime suspect.

What keeps the car still is that it’s very hard for the pistons to compress the air in the cylinders. If they can’t compress

the air, they can’t move, and the car stays still. But if your piston rings are old and worn out and leaky, and can’t hold pressure, it’s a lot easier for the pistons to move.

And that’s when you look out the window and see your Volvo rolling down to the 7-Eleven for a Slurpee.

So have your mechanic test your compression. That’s easy to do. And if your engine compression is weak, then you have a few choices. You can rebuild the engine, which I would be hesitant to recommend due to the age and mileage of the car.

You can avoid parking on hills. Or avoid parking on hills steep enough to allow the rolling. You can toss a couple of six-by-six blocks of wood in the car and chock your wheels when you have to park on a hill. Or you can try fixing the parking brake.

And if you manage to make it work, you may have the only Volvo 240 in captivity with a working parking brake.

But start by getting a compression test.

If the compression is good, test the clutch. It’s one of those. My money’s on compression.

Fall has arrived, and Henniker Brewing Co. is once again celebrating the turn of the season with an all-ages festival centered around the special release of a limited-edition beer.

The Flap Jack Fall Festival, which returns to the brewery on Saturday, Sept.

29, from noon to 5 p.m., will feature the seasonal unveiling of Flap Jack, a maple double brown ale brewed with maple syrup sourced from E.C. Thomas & Sons sugar house in Vermont.

The festival will also feature local vendors, games, live music, beer samples, brewery tours and more. “[The festival] is definitely one of our biggest events that we’ve had. We don’t charge for entry, so people can just show up and pay as they go,” Henniker Brewing Co. Marketing Director Ryan Maiola said.

The Flap Jack ale sold out so fast at last year’s festival, Maiola said, that larger quantities are expected to be brewed and ready for the event this year. The ale will be available for tasters, pints and fourpack 16-ounce cans during and following the festival while supplies last, according to Maiola.

“It’s a great beer for fall. There’s a little maple flavor in there, but it’s not overwhelmingly sweet,” he said. “It’s got a nice malty base to it, so it goes well with any type of hearty or comfort food for around this time of year, so definitely for beef stew or steak or any type of meal like that. …

Some people have even said they like to put 4.69”wide x 2.6” high it on their waffles in the morning. We’ve HIPPO Horizontal 1/8 page paired it with beer dinners we’ve done as well.”

unique offerings, according to Maiola. Bardo Farm out of Croydon, for example, will be doing a pig roast. The other vendors selling food are Taco Beyondo of Hillsborough offering specialty tacos, burritos, quesadillas and other Tex-Mex items; Boogalows Island BBQ of Seabrook offering Jamaican jerk chicken and Jamaican beef burritos; the Blackwater Mustard Co. of Contoocook offering several homemade specialty mustards for sale (including one mustard using Henniker Brewing Co.’s Working Man’s Porter) and Farley’s Fries of Newport. KBK Sports out of Nashua, which specializes in sports memorabilia, will also be there to sell signed jerseys, photographs and more as part of a silent auction.

A full lineup of local musicians will also be featured, including saxophonist Matt “the Sax” of Stoddard, folkgrass group Tyler Road of Contoocook and Americana group Whiskey Duo of Lowell, Mass. Other features will include cornhole games, stein-hoisting competitions and more.

“It’s got a really nice community kind of

feel to it, and since it’s all ages, you can bring the kids or the dog if you want,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of people come out and just make a day out of it.”

Maiola said arriving early is recommended in case the parking lot down the road from the brewery fills up.

Tasty food from fresh ingredients

Lavender Lavender makes its way into so many different areas of the home: cleaning, bath time, candles and more. It’s not often I see it as a part of cuisine, though, and I’m not sure why. It smells amazing, and once you make a simple syrup it’s easy to add in to things like smoothies, baked goods, cocktails or hot beverages like tea or coffee. Be careful, though: A little goes a long way.

Lavender (or lavandula) is actually part of the mint family and should be considered an herb. It’s commonly used as an essential oil and is considered a great home remedy for anxiety and sleeplessness. While there are differing opinions about whether the essential oil should be consumed, the lavender plant itself is absolutely harmless.

The best way I can describe it? It tastes the way it smells! I opted to add some to my latte and it felt relaxing and even a bit luxurious. Had I garnished it with a few flowers, I would have felt like I was at the spa or something. Do they serve lattes at spas?

The Best View of

Hampton Beach Lavender get its name from the Latin “lavare,” meaning “to wash.” The ancient Romans used lavender in bathing no doubt because of its pleasant smell. The online version of New World Encyclopedia notes that lavender was even thought to cure the plague (or at least repel it). Funny enough, it may not have been a silly superstition since lavender may repel fleas and fleas were a common way the plague was transmitted.

Enjoy some lavender today in a new way. Try it in your baking (lavender shortbread, anyone?), in your tea (lavender mint — yum!) or even in a cocktail (lavender mojitos, for the win!).

André Marcoux has been working toward opening his own craft distillery for more than six years. Today, with wood-wrapped stills and custombuilt equipment, Marcoux’s vision is a reality.

Live Free Distillery, housed in the former space of Manchester Tool Repair on East Industrial Park Drive, held its grand opening in the Queen City on Sept. 22 with free tours and tastings. It’s Manchester’s second craft distillery; Stark Brewing Co. introduced distilled spirits two years ago. In fact, Marcoux produced them himself as head distiller at Stark before shifting his focus to opening his own business.

Live Free Distillery’s first two products — Mountain Top vodka and Shire Shine apple pie moonshine — are both available for half-ounce tasting samples and 750-milliliter bottles for sale. Marcoux is currently in the process of getting his spirits into New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlet stores.

“The apple pie moonshine is made from apple concentrate, and there are real cinnamon sticks in the bottle,” Marcoux said. “It goes great paired with your steaks. I would definitely recommend red meat to go well with it, and you can even take the cinnamon sticks out and cook with them after you finish the bottle. …

You can use it for desserts too, like taking it and putting it on ice cream.”

The Mountain Top vodka, he said, undergoes a filtration process of about three days, making for an exceptionally smooth taste.

Other products to come at the distillery will include a small release of the Back Roads white whiskey, plus a white rum, a straight corn whiskey and a bourbon.

While he offered suggestions for food pairings, Marcoux said his products are made to taste great on their own as well.

“Everything that I’ll make … can be [drunk] straight up, because that’s a good-quality alcohol,” he said. “I mean, you can mix it, but you should definitely want to be able to appreciate what you’re drinking.”

The goal, he said, was for everything to come locally — right down to the wooden countertops and bottles for his products. The wood-wrapped stills and other custom-built equipment were crafted with the help of his father Ronald of REM Woodcrafting, best friend

Donovan Cook and several other local businesses. And patrons stepping inside the distillery are faced with several shelves of New Hampshire-made sculptures, pottery, graphic art and more for sale, as well as a large map on the wall with markers displayed for each distillery in the Granite State.

Marcoux, who has a separate full-time job and two young children on top of his new business venture, said he originally got into home-brewing as a hobby before developing an interest in distilled spirits.

“I knew a lot of people making beer, so I wanted to take it to the next step,” he said. “I started getting into [distilling], talking to a lot of people, and really doing the research and understanding the whole process.”

Years later he would contribute to the grand reopening of Stark Brewing Co. on Commercial Street, in late 2016. Stark now produces a vodka, a bourbon whiskey and a rum, all available in several state liquor stores.

A portion of the proceeds from the bottles and local art sold during Live Free Distillery’s grand opening benefited the New Hampshire chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse, but Marcoux said there will likely be a rotating list of charities in the state that sales will go toward.

I dunno, a few years ago, when I was much more enthusiastic about phoned-in synthpop (it’s the thought that counts, I’d say to myself) I’m sure I would have been all over this branch of the Broken Social Scene family tree. All the right ingredients were there in 2015’s Pagan in Vegas LP — Emily Haines’ solid-fragile-solid, bee-stung singing, some Nintendo-goth — but the wrong ones were too, washed in an unenticing veneer of stale, antiseptic hayloft-indie; a jones for bouncy but inevitably dreary hooks. I understand that Haines’ solo projects are more angsty (it must be difficult for her, running her own fragrance company and being firmly entrenched in Canada’s biggest, most boring indie cabal). Not that they haven’t paid their dues, starving to death in a New York loft with Yeah Yeah Yeahs and TV on the Radio, but PIV was dazzlingly forgettable. This one fares better; opener “Dark Saturdays” nicks from Siouxsie, the Kills, and Blue Oyster Cult all at once, setting a cool vibe that fails (again) when the hook is supposed to kick in. “Love You Back” does the same thing, balancing Clash-like ’80s-punk-ska with whatever, Zep or something, but otherwise does basically bupkiss. Nothing to see here, move along. C — Eric W. Saeger

This Eastern Pennsylvania jazz clarinetist obviously viewed this solo effort as a celebration, a party with friends. His quintet is helped along by multi-instrumentalist John Bell, who adds autoharp, triangle and a few other things, and as well, singer Kristina Rajgelj, who has a pretty wide range, from soul-torch temptress to indiepop-diva. Price is a freelancer who spends a lot of time on the road, and this is indeed a musical triptych of sorts, starting out with the rhythmicto-bossa nova-redolent “Mzungu” (Swahili slang for “white man”), which touches on his time spent in Kenya. A pensive “The Girl in the White Dress” is a gentle, lilting tribute to depressed Pennsylvanian coal country, with Price floating a melody while go-to accompanist Isamu McGregor, whose piano is all over this release, decorates the piece with fairyland touches. The title track, written while visiting an ancient villa in Florence, has a few moments of appropriately spooky effects. Nice collection of different, well-thought ideas. A — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • Merry Financial Sector Meltdown 2019 everybody, here come the Christmahannukwaanza box sets, so make sure you have a few cans of Dinty Moore to tide you over for hits to your Amex like An American Treasure, the forthcoming box set of stuff from Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, due out Sept. 28! Yes, it will cost $42 billion and will feature way too many songs, but not all of the songs will be dusty old rerubs fans will only listen to 50 times before their wives tell them to stop it. “Keep a Little Soul” from 1982, for example, is one thing you probably haven’t heard yet, a “Refugee”-like song that’s pretty aimless and non-great. But you know, woo, box sets!

• Mudhoney, also known as “That other Seattle band that made dreadful albums on Sub Pop Records but wasn’t Kurt Cobain or whatever, even though they basically invented grunge” has a new album on the way, called Digital Garbage! This is their 10th album in 30 years, during which time only one member ever left, that being Matt Lukin, who had already formed the Melvins in 1983 and was thus apparently tired of doing awesome stuff. When last we heard from this band, they were on a Dead Kennedys-ish punk trip, having given up on being properly recognized and all; the 2013 album Vanishing Point featured the anti-corporate single “I Like it Small,” as in “minimum production” and “low yields.” Too bad it’s too late to save these guys, but like I said, they’re back, and one of the new album’s songs is “Paranoid Core,” an even-more-old-school speed-punk tune that recalls Black Flag, with its random crazy-checks of “Sharia law” and “invest in gold, squirrel away food, stockpile guns, hoard your fuel.” Won’t you please give today from the heart, to preserve music that isn’t idiotic?

• DeadOrNot.com says Rod Stewart is still “rockin’,” so it’s safe to say his new album, Blood Red Roses, wasn’t sung by a ghost with a scratchy throat. What a totally Rod Stewart title, huh? Sexy but dangerous, just like the day nurses who bring him his porridge and Sunday Telegraph comics? Ha ha. OK, I guess I really have to do this, let’s go see if anyone in his posse remembered to YouTube a single for review by honest critics. Fun FYI: if you plug “rod stewart” into the YouTube search box, all the songs came out during the Carter administration. OK, I’m going to avoid the song that looks like Cyndi Lauper’s in it, so we’ll settle on “Didn’t I.” Oh come on, this song may be a bummer — a parent saying I-told-you-so to his drug-using kid — but it’s actually good. What am I supposed to do with this?

Work with me here already.

• You know, before trap came along to ruin everything, there were cool hip-hop bands, like Cypress Hill, so let’s see if they weren’t assimilated into the trap Matrix, by looking for samples of their new LP, Elephants on Acid, on the YouTube transmogrigator machine.

Here’s a song, “Band of Gypsies,” you should see this, they’re smoking harder than ever, how do their lungs stand it, yo? Starts off with someone toast-rapping in Arabic, and then it’s just plain awesome. — Eric W. Saeger

FRESH PICKED FRUITS, VEGGIES, & FLOWERS

Hyperfocus: How to be More Productive in a World of Distraction, by Chris Bailey (Viking, 218 pages)

APPLE PICKING

Not all those who wander are lost, J.R.R. Tolkien famously wrote, but this was long before the smartphone led us into a rabbit hole of inattention.

These days, the pleasant distractions presented by technology splinter our days into wanderings of the worst kind — purposeless forays that take us mentally off track and leave us wondering why we’ve accomplished so little.

If you work at a computer, you labor for an average of 40 seconds before being interrupted or distracted, and you switch applications 566 times during an average day, says Chris Bailey, a Canadian “productivity expert” who proposes to help herd our neurological cats in his new book Hyperfocus.

Awesome. Clearly, we need this since Bailey says Americans check Facebook 21 times a day even though it takes, on average, 22 minutes to get reabsorbed in a task after an interruption. And from its premise and blurbs, Hyperfocus seems a worthy addition to the genre best described as hacking your way to a better life through brain science.

Unfortunately, the book is a thin, watery treatment compared to some of its predecessors, such as Caroline Webb’s How to Have a Good Day and Greg McKeown’s Essentialism. It’s also a bewilderingly self-conscious book by an author who repeatedly refers to its writing (one to-do list: “Map a time line of when I’ll be done writing Hyperfocus”), and who builds the book around personal anecdotes and the research of others, but gives the scientists uneven due.

Some, like the Microsoft researchers he interviewed, are offered glowing endorsements and summaries of their work; others’ findings are tossed out like peanuts at a petting zoo with little context or proof. Bailey writes, for example, that we spend 47 percent of our days in a mind-wandering state he calls “scatterfocus.” Yes, minds wander, a lot, but 47 percent? Why not 42 or 48? And should we really accept as truth the claim that our wandering mind goes to the past 28 percent of the time?

These sorts of findings spew from academic journals regularly, but their regurgitation here makes the studies seem faintly ridiculous, as do Bailey’s even more simplistic applications, such as “When your mind wanders, it visits three main places: the past, the present, and the future.”

To club this book as juvenile, however, is somewhat akin to kicking a bunny, since Bailey seems an affable fellow, earnest in his quest for ever increasing productivity (his

first book was 2016’s The Productivity Project), and he has an engaging blog titled “A Life of Productivity.”

There you can read about his experiments in productivity, to include living in isolation for 10 days and drinking only water for a month. Also, he knits. Gotta love a guy who knits.

But sniff deeply and the whole endeavor has the cloying aroma that surrounds too many books these days, those born from blogs by Tim Ferriss devotees who brand themselves experts because so few people question the nebulous title. Is Chris Bailey really a productivity expert, or is Bill Gates?

And what’s with the trend of filling a brainscience book full of meaningless graphics that could be produced by any third-grader with a working knowledge of Microsoft Word? Competing to be the silliest, a circle of dashes filled with horizontal slanted lines with the cutline “hyperfocus” and another circle comprised of dashes with nothing inside and the explanation “attentional space.” These reader-insulting “graphics” take up a third of a page each.

That’s not to say Hyperfocus doesn’t offer the occasional helpful nugget. There’s a really good blog post in here that a merciless editor with an X-acto knife could extract.

Here’s how it begins: “Just as you are what you eat, you are what you pay attention to. Attention is finite and is the most valuable ingredient you have to live a good life — so make sure everything you consume is worthy of it.”

To do so, think deeply about the four kinds of tasks — necessary work, purposeful work, unnecessary work, distracting work.

When it’s time to focus on the purposeful (“the tasks we’re put on this earth to do … the tasks with which we make the largest impact”), aggressively guard your precious and finite attention by anticipating obstacles and eliminating them. Set a timer to snap you back to attention. Set up a workspace devoid of distractions to include noise-canceling headphones and distraction-blocking apps. Meditate. Take breaks and use mindwandering time to your creative advantage.

Get plenty of sleep. Drink coffee.

If this all sounds vaguely familiar it’s because yes, you’ve likely heard all this before, and the other suggestions that Bailey offers. His Hyperfocus is not a bad book. It’s not filled with typos or fake news, or painful prose. It just isn’t a particularly good one. It breaks no ground and ultimately offers little beyond the peppy reassurances of a junior varsity cheerleader — you’ve got this, team, snap to it, take on the day.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

The House with a Clock in Its Walls (PG)

An orphaned boy discovers a world of magic in The House with a Clock in its Walls, a movie (based on a book of the same name from the 1970s) that I’m kind of surprised wasn’t made 15 years ago.

Elementary-school-ishly aged Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vaccaro) arrives in New Zebedee, Michigan, in the 1950s to live with his never-before-seen Uncle Jonathan Barnavelt (Jack Black) after the death of his parents. After a few nights listening to odd bumps and seeing assorted weirdness (including his dead mother, maybe or maybe not in a dream), Lewis gets Jonathan to tell him what’s up with the big weird house where he lives — possibly with Florence Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett), though character descriptions I’ve read subsequently identify her as a neighbor. (She’s, like, always there.) Florence and Jonathan do not, as she explains to Lewis, have anything kissy going on, to which Lewis, a lover of dictionaries and words, replies “platonic.”

Why, exactly, Florence with her on-point purple wardrobe and her perfect ash-colored ‘do hangs around I don’t really get other than maybe that she’s a fixer and she wants to keep Lewis from accidentally destroying himself or possibly the world.

Because, as Jonathan tells Lewis, he is a warlock. Like, an OK warlock who mostly uses magic for entertainment purposes. Florence is a witch, a much more powerful witch although her powers haven’t worked quite right since a tragedy during the war. Another, more powerful warlock, Isaac Izard (Kyle MacLachlan), once owned the house, which is perhaps why everything, from the chair to the lion-shaped bush in the garden, seems to be alive. It is also why Jonathan spends his nights listening and looking for a clock that Izard hid in the walls.

The humanity-ending intent of Izard (by turning back time with the clock to prevent humans from ever being) is something Jonathan and Florence discuss with each other but don’t explain to Lewis. Perhaps had they

The House with a Clock in Its Walls

done so he would have been less inclined to show off to the one kid paying him attention, Tarby Corrigan (Sunny Suljic), by attempting to raise Izard from the dead.

Lonely kid, dead parents, secret magical family — if this doesn’t have “Harry Potter’s coattails” written all over it…. Perhaps it’s getting made now (and by director Eli Roth, no less) rather than in the early 2000s because nobody could quite figure out how to switch this machine on. It has decent working parts — the facts of Lewis’ life, the world it builds, the 1950s early-atomic-age setting — and a cast that is completely adequate.

The child actors seem suitable for their roles, MacLachlan is sufficiently creepy and Jack Black keeps the wilder elements of his Jack Blackness in check. Blanchett seems like she’s a remnant of some more A-list version of this cast, quality-wise, but she manages to be part of the ensemble, not stealing every scene and appearing to have mild fun. But this magic-based story never gets that magical charge, that bit of energy that can make a story pull together and feel believable within its own rules and human in its emotions and character interactions. Put another way, something’s missing but I’m not completely clear what. The only hint I got was that toward the end, Lewis embraces his specific kind of inner weirdness and it was one of the

nicer moments. If I had to pick a kid-friendly takeaway from this movie it would be something like “be yourself and be proud of who you are” and the movie seemed to get the most energy in the moments when the story was focused on this idea.

The House with a Clock in Its Walls is a perfectly fine older-elementary-aged kid movie; I’m just not sure that it has enough sparkle to get those kids to sit through it. BRated PG for thematic elements including some sorcery, some action, scary images, rude humor and language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Eli Roth with a screenplay by Eric Kripke (from a novel by John Bellairs), The House with a Clock in Its Walls is an hour and 44 minutes long and distributed by Universal Studios.

Fahrenheit 11/9 (R)

Documentary director and gleeful troublemaker Michael Moore takes a broad look at Where We Are Now, politically speaking, in Fahrenheit 11/9.

If you know anything about Michael Moore, you already know how this movie aligns with your politics. And this movie being a visual op-ed, not an inverted-pyramid news story, Moore does engage in a fair amount of selective fact-stating. If that or Moore himself bugs you, this is not the

movie for you and there is no extra “but the cinematography” reason to see it.

What is Fahrenheit 11/9 about? In short: Moore does not like Trump (whose election was called on 11/9 — Nov. 9, 2016).

He isn’t a big fan of the Democratic party establishment either, which he feels has let down voters and grassroots activists.

He doesn’t particularly like the mainstream media for the way it, for example, would rather show hours of an empty Trump podium than engage in reportage. He is worried about the erosion of democracy. He pulls together several examples of entrenched power (to include the Democratic party that isn’t supportive of upstart candidates, the West Virginia union that has to be dragged along by its membership during a statewide teacher strike, the Republican governor of Michigan and the Flint water crisis) depriving people of liberty in some form or another. I think his point is that Trump’s win is a symptom — a terrifying symptom, he argues — of that wider problem (and one that will create even more unresponsive-tothe-people big-E Establishments).

Somewhere in Fahrenheit 11/9 is a solid old-fashioned, community journalism, pointof-view-having documentary about the Flint water crisis — its causes, how it was handled, the lasting repercussions and what is says about the Times We Live In. I feel like this was the movie that Moore, who got his start in film talking about the economy of Flint way back in 1989’s Roger & Me, really wants to make. And I personally would love to see that feisty, muckraking (in the best sense), information-dense documentary about Flint. As people have pointed out in all kinds of contexts (but the Mark and Sarah Talk About Songs podcast sticks out as one where I hear this often), specificity makes great art and here’s a place where the specific details would be interesting and appalling and have obvious wider significance.

I would also be interested in the argument Moore has sprinkled throughout his movies and TV shows: Moore’s case for unions in America. He clearly has thoughts about

that broccoli pretty interesting all on its own and there are plenty of places to go for just cheese sauce.

The “bag o’ stuff” feel made Fahrenheit 11/9 ultimately less interesting and less impact-having than I think it could have been. It also makes the movie feel a bit aimless, particularly in its final 30 minutes or so, which had a padding-for-time feel. If you’re in agreement with Moore or with some of Moore’s points and looking for an excuse to get white hot angry, Fahrenheit 11/9 obliges, providing plenty to get infuriated at. Personally, I would have preferred the broccoli. BRated R for language and some disturbing material/images, according to the MPAA. Directed by Michael Moore, Fahrenheit 11/9 is two hours and five minutes long and distributed by Briarcliff Entertainment.

unions, their historical importance, their current state; I’d like to see his feisty examination of this as well.

Fahrenheit 11/9 has a lot of Flint and some union and then a lot of other, just, stuff. Trump stuff, some stuff that could kind of be lumped together as “response to Trump” stuff, some Bernie Sanders stuff, some “still angry about George W. Bush” stuff — all of which, along with the movie’s title (positioning it as a kind of sequel to what Wikipedia says is the highest-grossing documentary of all time), feels like a bunch of glitter meant to sparkle up the more interesting but less sexy elements of the various topics he touches on. It’s like the Trump stuff is the cheese sauce trying to make the broccoli of the Flint water crisis enticing. Except I think Moore could make

NITE Island funk Local music news & events

New England Roots Festival welcomes Hawaiian soul man

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

• Solo soul: Along with winning a 2018 NEMA for Male Performer of the Year, Munk Duane is good at making money in the music business, with thousands of paid downloads and licensing deals. He often fronts powerhouse band Soul Jacker, but a local show will feature Duane, soulfully alone. Check out the timely new video “Another Day, Another Bullet” on his website. Thursday, Sept. 27, 7 p.m., Stumble Inn, 20 Rockingham Road, Londonderry. See munkduane.com.

• Rock power: On a really good night, watching Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls is akin to attending worship service in the Church of Rock ’n’ Roll. Touring behind his new album, Be More Kind, Turner is headlining for the first time in New Hampshire. Continuing his habit of bringing great punk bands to open for him, Bad Cop/Bad Cop and Sam Coffey & the Iron Lungs kick off the show. Friday, Sept. 28, 8 p.m., Casino Ballroom, 169 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton Beach. Tickets $50 at ticketmaster.com.

• Cowboy up: For eight years, Midnight Rodeo was a big part of the country music scene, offering a big party every weekend.

Haywire provides live music at a first annual reunion, with Kathleen from Kickin’ It Country leading line dancing lessons and a country DJ spinning favorites. Admission includes passed appetizers while they last. Saturday, Sept. 29, 7 p.m., Executive Court Banquet Facility, 1199 S. Mammoth Road, Manchester. Tickets $20 (18+) at eventbrite.com.

• Apple music: Autumn has arrived and with it music served up in bucolic settings.

Decatur Creek plays at an apple orchard offering picking and, well, picking. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy some cider and bluegrass. The live music happens every Saturday and Sunday until late October; upcoming is Irish balladeer Jim Barnes (Oct. 8) and Bradford Bog People (Oct. 14). Sunday, Sept. 30, noon, Meadow Ledge Farm, 612 Route 129, Loudon. See meadowledgefarm.com • Laugh track: After a one-year absence, Laugh Free or Die returns with a weekly comedy open mike. The format remains the same – four- to six-minute sets, and if slots fill up there are three-minute lightning rounds end of night. Comic Tyler Morrow is the go-to guy for anyone who’s heard from co-workers or friends that they should do standup – rubber, meet road. Wednesday, Oct. 3, 9 p.m., Murphy’s Taproom, 494 Elm St., Manchester. See bit.ly/2OIZSD9.

One of last year’s most memorable events, the New England Roots Festival returns to Nashua with a day’s worth of live music offered at four locations. The Main Stage is all Americana, with folk, R&B, bluegrass and rockabilly played by a dazzling array of regional performers, and a couple of out-oftown guests.

Twisted Pine, an acoustic powerhouse from Boston, is coming back after a rousing set in 2017. Girls, Guns & Glory has a new name, Ward Hayden & the Outliers, but the same electrified twang that made them a mainstay at area venues like Riverwalk Cafe. Newcomers include harmony-rich Strangers by Accident, soulful duo Dwight & Nicole, progfolk trio Honeysuckle, and Nashua Farmers Market favorites The New Englanders.

Two visiting bands are also on the bill, one near the middle and another at the top. Pennsylvania based Chestnut Grove, with a Black Crowes vibe on songs like “Scrach an Itch” and “Whiskey Hand,” will play an afternoon set. Closing out the show is Ron Artis II & the Truth, a trio from Hawaii poised for bigger success. Anyone catching the free set might one day brag like a fan who saw Soulive in a nightclub.

Though unfamiliar to many locals, Artis is a big deal to those in the know. He’s been praised by (and jammed with) Jack Johnson, Jake Shimabukuro and G. Love.

There’s at least one arena level star who knows about Artis. At a dinner and music event on Oahu Island, Artis played a solo set.

Afterwards, the drummer from one of the world’s most popular bands approached to tell him he loved his music and storytelling.

Trouble is, Artis didn’t recognize him as rock royalty.

“It sounds stupid,” he said recently from Cape Cod, where he’d just wrapped up playing at G. Love’s inagural Roots & Blues Festival. “There’s this tall guy, with a really deep voice and an English accent, and he’s like, ‘I bought one of your CDs.’ I’m like, ‘Thank you, I really appreciate that, man.

What’s your name?’ He said, ‘Michael.”’

As he walked away, the towering Englishman’s wife came over.

“He loved your music, that’s awesome, a big deal,’” she said to Artis, and waited for a response that didn’t come, beyond him agreeing that he was glad to have a new fan.

“She’s like, ‘Wait a minute, you don’t know who he is, do you? That’s Mick,’” Artis said. “I said, ‘Uh, I’m trying to place him,’ and she says, ‘He’s Mick Fleetwood — as in Fleetwood Mac.’ I was like, ‘Ohhhhhhh.’”

There’s a reason for all this world-class love; Artis is a triple threat across multiple genres. On guitar, he shreds like Hendrix, scats with George Benson flair and plays blues rock that would make Stevie Ray Vaughn proud. He’s also a gifted songwriter, equally capable of a rallying cry or a love song — and he can sing.

He’s made three EPs and one album, Soul Street, released in the spring. His younger brother Stevon on drums and bass player Riley Pa’akaula round out the trio. The new LP contains high energy rock and blues — leadoff track “King of the World” and “Walk That Walk” are standouts — and moving ballads brimming with soul. “Carry Me Along” echoes vintage Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, while “Searching for Answers” and “What Kind of People” offer searing social insight.

Artis was born to perform. His father played keyboards with Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and even Van Halen in the 1970s and ’80s before moving his growing family to the islands, so music was always part of his life.

“My dad and his band would always rehearse at the house and sometimes I got to go sit in on keyboards,” he said. “I didn’t get to join for a while, because he was always like, ‘no, go practice, go back to your room and learn that song.’ I think that’s one of the best things you can do for a child that’s interested in music or anything — give them honest reflection.”

With most of his siblings and his mother, a singer, the Ron Artis Family Band played all over the Islands, until its leader died suddenly from a heart attack in 2010. When his devastated namesake returned to music, he was mainly playing guitar.

“I took a pause from piano for awhile, and I’m just slowly gravitating back to it,” he said.

“That was really our connecting instrument. ... Subconsciously, I kind of needed some time away from it after.”

With a credo that “music should be played as life is lived,” Ron Artis II & The Truth shows are spontaneous and energetic.

“People go into a conversation like it’s written out, and they’re trying to explain it from a piece of paper,” he said. “I don’t think that’s natural or real, and I think we should have the same approach to making music.”

Thus, his band always walks on stage without a setlist.

“We look at the audience to see who’s there, and ask ourselves ... what difference can we make in their lives?” Artis said. “What can we give them that makes them feel a little bit better today and going forward? I try to live my life that way, so I figure why not create music that way? It’s really important to me.”

A naked man opened the door to firefighters responding to a house fire in Niceville, Florida, on Aug. 27 and said “I’m sorry” before closing the door in their faces. James Cunningham, 53, later admitted to police he’d had two liters of vodka and had smoked marijuana before trying to bake cookies on his George Foreman grill, reported WPLG Local 10. The experiment went wrong when the grill and cookies caught fire, so he covered them with a dry towel, which also caught fire. Firefighters said if he’d been in the house any longer, he could have died from smoke inhalation.

Anger management

Djuan Lewis, 23, landed a new job at Benada Aluminum Products in Sanford, Florida, on Aug. 30, a Thursday.

On Sunday morning, his boss fired him.

WFTV reported that following his dismissal, Lewis waited for his boss for two hours outside the business, then chased him and his girlfriend for a mile and a half, shooting at their car and hitting the rear bumper, trunk and right rear tire. Neither the supervisor nor his girlfriend was hurt. Sanford police arrested Lewis and changed him with attempted murder.

Questionable judgment

School resource officer and part-time police officer Maryssa Boskoski, 32, was called into a classroom at Liberty Preparatory School in Smithville, Ohio, on Aug. 30 to help rouse a sleeping student who could not be awakened by the teacher or even the principal. When Boskoski arrived, The Washington Post reported, her solution was to unholster her Taser, remove the firing cartridge and pull the trigger, causing an electric buzz that woke the student and shocked the school community. Smithville Police Chief Howard Funk placed Boskoski on unpaid leave and told WEWS news station Boskoski had been disciplined a month earlier, also for a Taser-related incident. An investigation was ongoing.

New Jersey resident Gregory Lazarchick, 56, made a bad day worse on July 21 when he told greeters at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, he’d been sent by al-Qaida to “blow the place up.” According to the Orlando Sentinel, the greeters told Orange County deputies Lazarchick complained of having a bad day before issuing his threat, but deputies found no bomb-making materials in Lazarchick’s hotel room. The man’s sister reported he

had suffered a head injury several years ago and sometimes said inappropriate things. The remorseful Lazarchick posted bond after his arrest for false report of a bombing.

Ewwww!

At Kirby High School in Memphis, Tennessee, things are quiet as a mouse ... or a rat. Shelby County Schools Superintendent Dorsey Hopson told the Memphis Commercial Appeal he’s looking for a temporary home for Kirby’s 800 students after closing the school Sept. 5 due to a rat infestation. The problem started in mid-August, when district personnel uncovered a rat’s nest during a renovation project. Eighty rats were trapped at the school and poison was set out. When students returned after Labor Day, poisoned rats began dying within the school’s walls and the stench became overwhelming. Calling the situation an “unavoidable act of nature,” Hopson said he expects students to return in early November.

Irony

Lona and Joseph Johnson of Bellingham, Washington, survived the Las Vegas mass shooting last October and decided to get a dog to help with the trauma that haunted them after the incident. “We heard that dogs are good pets to help with the healing and PTSD ... and got Jax,” Joseph told the Bellingham (Washington) Herald. But on Sept.

2, neighbor Odin Maxwell, 49, shot and killed Jax, telling police the dog was chasing his chickens. An investigation

showed no chickens were harmed, and Maxwell was cited for discharging a firearm.

Bright idea

It’s one way to get a ride to lunch: Knox County (Kentucky) Sheriff’s deputies responded on Aug. 24 to a home in Corbin, where Kenneth Ray Couch, 35, had reportedly stolen a handgun. As they searched for Couch, they learned he had been transported to the hospital in an ambulance after staging a heart attack at nearby Dixon’s market. When police arrived at Baptist Health Corbin, WYMT reported, they found Couch in the cafeteria, which had apparently been his goal all along. Couch was arrested and charged with first-degree burglary and falsely reporting an incident.

Least competent criminal

Taiheem M. McKay, 23, of Riverhead, New York, made it easy for Suffolk County officials to track him down after suspecting him of breaking into 10 different homes over the course of seven months, stealing cash, jewelry and designer accessories. According to Newsday, the Suffolk County Department of Probation traced McKay to the burglary locations through his GPS ankle monitor, which he was wearing as a result of a February 2017 second-degree reckless endangerment conviction. McKay has additional pending indictments in other burglaries.
