GRANITE VIEWS ALLYSON RYDER

Privilege politics

There is a rumor among my family that we are direct descendants of Daniel Webster. My engagement in policy must trace back to those ancestral roots because, despite our supposed brush with fame, I was not raised in a politically active family.

As I ascend the political ladder, I am acutely aware of the voices not often at the table.

The house party invitations often come with donation expectations — making it difficult for many to afford and access those. There are community events held in social spaces, but do they offer enough time to meet and speak with the candidate? Gone are the days, especially in the larger cities, of sign-holding at your local transfer station.

For those looking to serve in office, either statewide or nationally, there are monetary barriers to entry there, too. A friend of mine is running for the New Hampshire State Senate, a role that pays $100 a year before taxes, and she is expected to raise $100,000 to fund her campaign. She works full time and, although she has found relative success in her career, she isn’t in a place to self-fund her candidacy.

What happens if you cannot self-fund your campaigns? You can do a full grassroots campaign with all the money coming only from local residents or, like most, you seek a diverse funding base. This includes small, individual donations, but also Political Action Campaigns (PACs), special interest groups, and political party funding. If you vow not to take money from special interest groups, you may find yourself at a political disadvantage.

Even the most well-intentioned candidate must grapple with a variety of competing interests, including political party loyalty, appeasing donors and trying to figure out how the needs of those constituents come in to all of this. To many, including my family, the political space was not designed for “people like us” and this notion has been perpetuated as more money enters our campaigns.

We have to reevaluate how to make our system more accessible in a way that allows for a rebuilding of trust between the candidates and the constituents. While asking people to turn out on Election Day is important, equally so is working throughout the campaign to genuinely access as many voices as you can.

People need to believe that their vote actually matters; otherwise, they will continue to stay home and disengage.

Money continues to influence our political system in an unhealthy way. The best place to start making this change is raising your voice through the voting process (vote Nov. 6!) and holding your elected officials accountable.

Remember, they work for us, not the other way around.

NEWS & NOTES

Youth opioid support

The Granite State will receive roughly $1.9 million from the Office for Victims of Crime at the U.S. Department of Justice to support children and youth who are affected by the opioid epidemic, according to a news release from the office of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.

These grants include $749,886 to the New Hampshire Department of Justice and $436,119 to Dartmouth College. The money will be used to support crime victim services by expanding existing programs and creating new services for children and youth who have been impacted by the opioid crisis. Shaheen wrote in a statement, “This grant will fund efforts to support these victims in New Hampshire, providing critical services and programming that will help keep them safe and improve their health and wellness.” She added that the Senate’s Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee negotiated $446.5 million in funding for law enforcement and grant resources through the Department of Justice, a nearly $300 million increase from last year. This included the highest ever level of funding for the Office of Victims of Crime.

Tech Alliance

After 18 months of internal discussions, the New Hampshire High Tech Council in Manchester released new branding and details of its reorganization effort, including a name change to the “New Hampshire Tech Alliance.” The organization’s board also voted to update its mission statement to acknowledge its support for both startups and large, established companies. Since January, the alliance has assumed oversight of other startup- and technology-oriented programs, including Alpha Loft, Live Free and Start and Computer Science for New Hampshire.

Its membership is at an “all-time high” of nearly 300 companies and organizations with about 50,000 employees. Board chair Toral Cowieson wrote, “We look forward to hearing from our members and others in the tech ecosystem on these new efforts and enhancing our engagement in the future.” She added that the New Hampshire’s tech sector supports 12.6 percent of the state’s GDP, ranking eighth nation-

After at least 150 years away from the Granite State, a rare copper printing plate was purchased by the New Hampshire Historical Society at auction, according to a news release.

The plate was engraved in 1775 by John Ward Gilman of Exeter, who designed the state’s seal a year later. The New Hampshire Provisional Congress commissioned the plate so the colonies could print currency notes to help fund the war effort during the American Revolution. Granite Staters can see the plate in the society’s permanent collections (30 Park St., Concord).

Grants will be as high as $25,000 per year, and recipients can apply for renewal for up to three years. Since 2016, 25 organizations funded by the foundation were able to increase their distribution of local produce by 116 percent to nearly 1.8 million pounds of fresh produce.

NEW HAMPSHIRE’S FUTURE

According to recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control, the Granite State is a big contributor (or rather, non-contributor) to the country’s continued declining fertility rate. From 2016 to 2017, the country’s general fertility rate dropped 3 percent, from 62 to about 60 births per every 1,000 females aged 15 to 44. New Hampshire’s 50.9 fertility rate was the second lowest in the nation, behind only Vermont at 50.3. New England overall reported low birth rates.

Do you support or oppose building a passenger rail infrastructure in New Hampshire?

I think we should build it. … I think it would help economic development in the Manchester and Nashua areas. It would be attractive to younger families and younger professionals. It would allow for the exchange of professional university professors between the Boston hub and Manchester [Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute] center, for example. We may not be able to get some of the professors and research types to move to Manchester, but it certainly makes it more likely that we could get them for a couple of days a week, which really firms up the anchoring of that kind of project in Manchester. For me, the idea is that the train runs in two directions.

Would you vote for or against future efforts to expand the state’s Medicaid contract?

I think Medicaid expansion is critically important, and I would support solidifying it. I would remove the work requirement as redundant and unnecessary bureaucracy. I would also look at other opportunities to expand efforts … to increase the state’s buying power in the marketplace.

I’ll go back to education. I think we are finally waking up to the fact that not all students when they graduate from high school are going to go on to a “four-year college.”

I grew up in a family of teachers; my dad was a high school industrial arts teacher. …

That was back in a time when we taught students how to use their hands, whether it was woodworking or metalworking or auto repair. … The whole range of technical studies were offered. In our school systems today, there is very little of that type of education being offered, unless you want to be bused somewhere. Along with that, I believe we could do a better job of working with local businesses to create internships and apprenticeships, so that when that student leaves high school, he’s ready to go right into a well-paying job. In many instances, these internships will lead to working for a company that will help pay for continued education.

Do you support or oppose building a passenger rail infrastructure in New Hampshire?

As I understand it at this time, I would oppose it. … I really would like to see us not be subsidizing a rail network, if you will. If it could be done privately as a private venture, then of course I would be in support of it.

It should be a for-profit business. Our expethat have been made … and then it needs to rience on the national level has been with return the 35-percent contribution to pensions Amtrak, [which] has not been a profitable What is the best flavor of ice cream?

Sununu has put in ton, Hampton Falls, Kensington, Kingston, What’s something nobody is talking about right now that you think will become a critical issue in the next few years?

I think investing in the state to create jobs should be one of our top priorities. Rather than cutting business taxes that go to benefit the largest national corporations, not local companies, we should take that money and invest in programs like the Advanced Technology and Academic Center in Rochester, Sustainable Design Center in Keene and [Manchester Community College] so that we can create programs that get younger people started in the workplace quickly.

These are six-month training programs that get people working at decent jobs, and then with the help of the employers, they then go back and finish an associate’s degree or a bachelor’s degree. … Related to that, child care workers ... are absolutely critical to supporting young families where the parents work. ... For people who want to earn their associate’s degree in early childhood education, we should make that for free through the community college system. We also have a critical shortage of nurses in this state, and we should similarly greatly reduce the cost of nursing programs so that we can attract students from within and outside the state.

as conditions, if you will, and I think that’s a reasonable step. In other words, it shouldn’t be a permanent situation for an individual, and there should be continued education and continued opportunities for job seeking, if you will, so that they don’t have to stay on Medicaid.

Should the New Hampshire DOE increase stabilization grants to local school districts, based on their financial need?

Generally I’m not in favor of that. I am more in favor of opportunities for families to decide where their children go to school.

Along those lines, the general population will still use the public school system.

Unfortunately, our local schools are being hit by special needs. And unfortunately, the way the system is set up, the school district doesn’t know until the fall what number of special needs students are going to be in their classrooms, and their budget process takes place three or four months prior to that. The system we currently have is unstable in some ways because of that unknown. I don’t have the answers yet; I’ll be honest with you. But it does need to be addressed. Whether more federal assistance can be sought after, I think that would certainly be a reasonable step to take.

Yes, I do support that. During the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Intermodal Transportation … we go over [New Hampshire’s] 10-Year Transportation Plan. I made sure that I was the third vote.

6 ter area. I wholeheartedly supported that. It was a close vote. If it wasn’t for me, it wouldn’t have happened. … I believe that it’s a way we can protect the environment in terms of the number of cars on the road. We can also limit the infrastructure of the necessity to keep widening and widening highway. There comes a point where we need to have other means of transportation. Of course, rail is not the only solution; there are the rail trails and the bus systems.

I am very much a proponent of a balanced transportation system, including rail.

Would you vote for or against future efforts to expand the state’s Medicaid contract?

I would be for it, with one caveat, which was the requirements that would allow for job training and for a minimum amount of work requirement. Because what is fair and accepted in New Hampshire is similar to workman’s compensation, where employers contribute to a pool. And even though their employees aren’t covered by the workman’s comp insurance because they may not be out of work, they’re still contributing to it, and they realize it is based on the number of employees they are employing.

And it’s just expected that though I’m working, someone else might not be so lucky, and therefore I will contribute. ... As long as there is a similar system in Medicaid expansion where there would be a requirement for those who are able to work, and then also a requirement that they would avail themselves to job training if there is a difficulty for them to get work.

Should the New Hampshire DOE increase stabilization grants to local school districts, based on their financial need?

Yes, when it does not interfere with other obligations that are greater. When you’re making a budget, you have those needs that are absolutely mandatory that you need to take care of. And then there are those that are more discretionary [but] should take a very high priority. In balancing a budget, it’s always a good idea to increase funding to school building aid as we have done in the past, and have started to [do again] now that our economy is thriving and we increased amounts of revenue. We need to judiciously determine how much money goes in each one of these obligations, with some discretion.

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

I think the Executive Council is very, very unique to the state of New Hampshire. When people do not understand its role, then there can be confusion about the role of the Executive Council and their actions. ... The role of the Executive Council is to make sure that we carry

out the policies of our state and do that in a fiscally responsible way. That I think is something that the public in general does not understand. This is not a policy arm of our state; this is [part of] the Executive Branch of our state where we say “yes” or “no” to the carrying out of the policies of our state based on having the best contractors and having the most economical method of accomplishing our policies.

Joe Pace was elected to three terms on the Exeter Board of Selectmen, serving twice as chairman and heading the process to hire a new town manager. His career also includes stints as executive director of Ballet New England in Portsmouth and various roles at the University of New Hampshire, his alma mater.

Do you support or oppose building a passenger rail infrastructure in New Hampshire?

I’m in favor of passenger rail, for a variety of reasons. One, I think economically it certainly provides an additional artery and connection between New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and also within New Hampshire. [It provides] the opportunity to link up jobs with affordable housing and really just to help stitch together different areas of the state to make it a more unified economic area. It also helps to attract and retain younger workers and younger families to the state.

Would you vote for or against future efforts to expand the state’s Medicaid contract?

Medicaid expansion certainly is a key aspect of making sure New Hampshire residents have access to quality, affordable and reliable health care, particularly some of our more vulnerable and economically disadvantaged citizens here in the state. We know that over 50,000 New Hampshire residents rely on the current Medicaid expansion model for their access to health care. Anything we can do to improve access to health care, we should certainly do, and Medicaid expansion falls into that. It’s also a key component of our efforts to combat the addiction and opioid [crisis] that we have here in our state. We don’t have nearly enough resources for prevention, treatment and recovery, and the Medicaid expansion dollars have helped us in that fight. 8

Should the New Hampshire DOE increase stabilization grants to local school districts, based on their financial need?

I think we certainly need to take a hard look at ways that we can help to level the playing field. You can look at the town-bytown differentials between wealthier and less-advantaged towns. The state certainly has a role to play to make sure that a child in New Hampshire has access to an adequate and better than adequate education.

I think it would depend on what those stabilization grants look like, but the idea is certainly one that has merit and one that we need to talk about.

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

I think we’re going to continue to see this conversation around the school voucher program that was brought up last term. We’re going to keep seeing it brought back; I think it’s already been filed as a bill for the coming session. I think that’s something that studies have shown is a failed policy. It doesn’t improve outcomes, and it raises taxes at the local level. We don’t have anywhere near the kind of accountability or transparency with public money that we need in order to feel confident with how that money is being spent. I’m a believer in public education and anything we can do to invest in and double down on public education is probably the single most important tool we have for expanding opportunity to people in New Hampshire. … Strong public education is also a key factor in retaining and attracting younger working families in the state.

What is the best flavor of ice cream?

I am a Neopolitan man. Some would say it’s because I can’t make up my mind; I say it’s because the flavors are all so good. I like them for different reasons, and when you put them all together, it’s awesome.

Do you support or oppose building a passenger rail infrastructure in New Hampshire?

Passenger rail is a massive economic opportunity for New Hampshire, and it’s time we finally started doing something about it. A lot of people in the past have said they support it, but they’re not sure how to pay for it. But if we’re committed, we can work on solutions to make it happen.

Would you vote for or against future efforts to expand the state’s Medicaid contract?

Medicaid expansion was a critical part of improving the health care infrastructure in our state, and to combat the opioid crisis. We need to be looking at making health care a right and not a privilege, and we need to make it cheaper to deliver.

Should the New Hampshire DOE increase stabilization grants to local school districts, based on their financial need?

One of the biggest challenges we have is downshifting the cost [of education] to local towns. When you look at the decision to cut the cigarette tax or recent corporate tax cuts and how that’s affecting small towns, and we’re not funding schools, you see weren’t not doing enough. We’re not approaching the issue enough to ensure towns succeed if they’re not property-rich.

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

Women’s access to health care is of critical importance in this race. I’ve committed to support funding for Planned Parenthood.

My opponent has pledged to defund them.

That’s a stark contrast. It’s really important that we include that discussion as we tackle the issue of health care generally.

What is the best flavor of ice cream?

I would have to say that I like “Peppermint Pappas.” Chris [Pappas] came out with this new flavor as part of his campaign [for Congress]. It has little bits of peppermint in it.

Do you support or oppose building a passenger rail infrastructure in New Hampshire?

I think I’ve been clear through the years about passenger rail: Someone’s got to tell me how it’s going to be paid for. The bill can’t fall back on the taxpayers of the great state of New Hampshire. … Someone [has to] tell me what the cost is going to be, how it’s going to be paid for [and] how many trips are going to be made before I can give you an answer on whether I support it or not.

Would you vote for or against future efforts to expand the state’s Medicaid contract?

I would have to wait and see what it looks like when it comes up again for renewal. But we have to make sure we find a way to keep our insurance costs down so that the people that aren’t on the program don’t get hit with incredibly high premiums.

Should the New Hampshire DOE increase stabilization grants to local school districts, based on their financial need?

I think I’ve been pretty clear over the years that there should not be any downshifting from Concord to the local communities when it comes to education. It’s easy enough to say that they’re paying their fair share, but when they downshift it to the local communities, that’s a problem.

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

I know there’s been an awful lot of conversation about the opioid crisis, but I think that what’s before us now is going to be a crisis when it comes to crystal meth. The dealers have figured it out that fentanyl and heroin are killing the folks that are buying the drugs.

So they’re shifting to crystal meth, which doesn’t kill them but makes them much more violent. So that’s something we as a state must look at and find ways to end this crisis that’s before us.

Do you support or oppose building a passenger rail infrastructure in New Hampshire?

Passenger rail is a good idea, but we don’t have a funding source for it. It has been my position that if we’re going to do it, we need to take baby steps, because with interest the project is about half a billion dollars. And if we build the train, it will put the bus service in the red. …

The Boston Express from Nashua operates virtually in the black. … The issue isn’t whether we can have good commuter service to Boston; we currently have great commuter service to Boston with buses. If we were to build the train right now, (a) we’d have to borrow the money, and (b) it would devastate the bus service, and we’d end up subsidizing the bus and the train.

Would you vote for or against future efforts to expand the state’s Medicaid contract?

I’m grateful that the legislature this year added a work requirement, that you have to work to be able to get this benefit. … It makes more of a step up than a hand out. … We do get to vote on the individual contracts that make it happen and put that policy into play. If my memory serves me right, it got split votes. I voted against the first one and for the second time the renewals came up. The policy is pretty firm in place by the legislature, so now I want to make sure we get the best bang for our buck and have as many providers as possible, therefore keeping choice in the system so that people have a choice of their providers for the different services that are provided.

Should the New Hampshire DOE increase stabilization grants to local school districts, based on their financial need?

I think what we need in place is choice, educational choice. For the most part, education being directed at the local 9

level is the best direction for our 8 education. … The state has their adequacy grants, but no child should be trapped in a classroom and be forced to pay for it. Educational choice promotes excellence, and the monopolies generally promote mediocrity.

I believe competition works in the education system as well as in health care and other areas. Competition is a healthy thing.

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

We are dealing with the opioid crisis right now. We need to evaluate what we’re doing, what works, what doesn’t, whether we’re having the right mix of finances in place for treatment and for law enforcement. Today alone, we added $20 million to the treatment side of the pot … and also that [federal] grant will be used to help decide where we put our money, what works and what doesn’t, and gather the data. … A part of this grant will be used to create other entry points into the recovery system other than the safe stations in Nashua and Manchester. We tried to take a little bit of pressure off of those entry points.

We have people coming down from Berlin to get into the treatment system, and they go to Manchester or they go to Nashua.

What is the best flavor of ice cream?

Pistachio. It’s just an awesome blend of ice cream and nuts. And it’s green, my favorite color.

She has worked as director of tenant services for Nashua Housing Authority and was the first executive director of the Nashua Girl’s Club.

Do you support or oppose building a passenger rail infrastructure in New Hampshire?

I’ve been a strong supporter for commuter rail in New Hampshire for decades, for a number of reasons. I think that we cannot continue to widen our roads. We have to look for alternative forms of transportation. When there was bus service talked about from Manchester, or even further north, to Nashua and Boston, I was a big supporter of that. I road the first bus from Nashua to Boston, a 5 a.m. bus, back when it first started. ... I think that we are an aging state, and I think that commuter rail

has the possibility to bring young people into our state who work in Massachusetts but want to live in a more rural, less hectic state. I also think that although people from New Hampshire would be able to get to Boston to the airport, to [Route 128] and to other places where they work, it will also bring people up from Massachusetts into New Hampshire to the airport, to work in Nashua and to bring them to shop up here.

I see it as having a lot of benefits.

Would you vote for or against future efforts to expand the state’s Medicaid contract?

I would support expanded Medicaid. I think we need to make sure that all of our people in the state have access to quality health care. And it’s good for all of us; it’s not only good for the … private health care recipients. When we’re all healthier, it keeps us all healthier.

Should the New Hampshire DOE increase stabilization grants to local school districts, based on their financial need?

This is a very complicated question, and it goes back to our constitution, where we say that every child is entitled to a equal education. … We are not supporting our students anywhere near the cost of an education. I think we’re providing [around] $3,000 … to each community for every student, when in fact it costs in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $15,000 for an education. We’re certainly not providing the funding that’s needed. I would support increased funding to all communities. I think we ought to be looking at providing funding for quality preschool rather than starting with kindergarten.

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

It’s hard to know what will become critical besides education funding. I do see that as a critical issue in the next couple years. We’ll be talking a lot about that. … My fear is that we’re on track for another education funding lawsuit, which we will lose, I believe. … I think property taxes are just about as high as we can have them go, in many parts of the state, and the majority of local property taxes go toward education. So what we’re finding is we have citizens, good citizens who want to do their fair share and pay their fair share, voting against school budgets because they just cannot afford to pay any more property taxes.

What is the best flavor of ice cream?

My favorite ice cream is Sandwich Creamery Ginger. Ginger was my mother’s favorite ice cream as well. I like that it’s made locally in Sandwich, New Hampshire, and it’s great with ginger syrup on top.

From their beginnings in the state Senate late last year to facing veto override votes in September, two bipartisan energy bills spawned significant controversy from legislators and industry groups. Mixed override results during the September session provided split victories to both sides of the debate over New Hampshire’s future energy infrastructure.

Depending on where you stand on the issue, SB 365 and SB 446 would have either boosted New Hampshire’s energy production and independence or spiked the state’s already high energy rates.

According to the latest bill draft, SB 365 would have required electric utilities to offer to purchase energy output from the state’s biomass and waste-to-energy facilities. Jasen Stock, executive director of the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association in Concord, said there are six independent biomass facilities in Alexandria, Bethlehem, Bridgewater, Springfield, Tamworth and Whitefield.

These facilities produce power by burning wood chips from the state’s timber industry.

The latest version of SB 446 would have raised the state’s net metering cap from 1 to 5 megawatts. Net metering allows residents who generate power through their own solar, wind or hydro installations to sell unused energy back to their utility company, according to the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission.

Two-thirds to tango

Sununu’s answer to that question was simple: It would cost too much for ratepayers. After vetoing both bills in May, Sununu released a statement claiming that both bills combined “would cost New Hampshire electric ratepayers approximately $100 million over the next three years.” He described SB 365 as an “immense subsidy for New Hampshire’s six independent biomass plants,” and SB 446 as a “handout to large-scale energy developers,” adding that “these immense projects should use incentives already available and compete on their own merits.”

During a legislaSEN. GARY DANIELS tive session held on Sept. 13, the New Hampshire House and Senate voted on whether to override Sununu’s vetoes of SB 365 and SB 446, according to a news release from the House’s communications office. Vetoed bills require a two-thirds override vote from both chambers to be passed into law, which the Senate achieved with a 21-3 vote (87.5 percent) on both bills, according to LegiScan voting records. All three “nay” votes came from Republican senators.

However, while the House affirmed the override on SB 365 with a 226-113 vote (66.6 percent), SB 446 fell short of this two-thirds threshold with a 213-128 vote (62.4 percent), according to LegiScan voting records. Though override votes for both bills were bipartisan, only five of the 154 Democratic representatives voting on SB 365 voted “nay,” compared to 106 of the 182 voting Republican representatives. No Democrats voted “nay” on SB 446, compared to 126 of 185 voting Republicans.

[The industry] needs to be able to stand on its own feet and not take subsidies from the state.

England reported that the region’s wholesale electricity prices were cut in half between 2006 and 2016, the cost of actually delivering that energy to ratepayers from power generators has increased roughly 300 percent in the same time frame. The U.S. EIA reported that New Hampshire’s net interstate flow of electricity — the comparison of energy flowing to and from the state — was -80.2 trillion Btu in 2016.

“If we reduce our dependence on the transmission lines, that might drop our rates, and you reduce that [dependence] by making local generation more available,” Avard said. “We have sources of clean, independent energy in our state. Instead of being tied to [transmission lines], why not generate our own [energy]?”

122168

Sen. Kevin Avard (R-Nashua), chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said the bills were initially based on a study committee aimed at addressing New Hampshire’s high electricity costs.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average price of electricity in New Hampshire was 16.68 cents per kilowatt hour across all sectors in July, above the national average of 11.02 cents/kWh. New England’s overall average cost of 17.25 cents/ kWh ranked behind just Alaska and Hawaii, which easily topped the list at 26.54 cents/ kWh. Though New England isn’t an archipelago in the Pacific, Avard said, the region’s high energy rates can be attributed to a similar cause: transmission and delivery. While ISO New

Andrew Cline, president of the Josiah Bartlett Center For Public Policy in Concord, agreed with Sununu’s costs concerns. He said any mandate that prevents utilities from buying energy at the market rate will only lead to cost-shifting onto consumers.

“The bulk of our renewable energy efforts from the legislature are designed to force consumers to buy more expensive energy than they would on their own,” said Cline. “Eversource and other utilities pass these costs through to consumers, so the vetoes were to protect ratepayers, not big corporations.”

In 2017, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory forecasted that solar utility costs will likely drop from $51/MWh in 2020 to $37/MWh in 2050, while electricity from natural gas, coal and nuclear energy will either stagnate or increase slightly in this time frame. However, in the meantime, renewable sources don’t appear to be the preferred choice for affordable electricity among utilities or ratepayers. The New Hampshire Office of Strategic Initiatives reported that 17 percent of electricity generated in New Hampshire was from renewable resources in 2016, though it also projected growth in demand over the coming decades.

Biomass boost

While supporters of SB 446 head back to the drawing board, the successful veto override on SB 365 has ended, at least temporarily, a spirited debate over the role of biomass in New Hampshire.

A loud voice supporting the veto override was Stock of the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association. He said biomass is a distinctly “New Hampshire fuel,” as it supports jobs in several different sectors of the heavily forested state’s economy.

While the state’s six biomass plants are in the North Country, Stock said timber operations in 200 towns across the state ship wood chips for power, adding that companies like McDevitt Trucks in Manchester sell equipment to loggers and truckers who transport these chips to those plants. He pointed to a 2017 study from Plymouth State University, which reported that the total annual impact of these plants is $254.5 million.

“Energy dollars for biomass are circulating back into our economy, as opposed to spending energy dollars on fossil fuel that leave the state,” said Stock. “And when you deliver wood chips and fire up a power plant, you can run that fire 24/7 and not be reliant on the sun shining or water flowing or wind blowing.”

Sen. John Reagan (R-Deerfield), who opposed both bills, said nothing that would increase the cost of rates would receive his approval. He didn’t discount the benefits of timber companies being able to dispose of wood chips and leftover low-grade wood, but challenged whether SB 365 was the right solution.

“If you want to keep trails open and remove

debris, do that, but don’t transfer the costs to the electric customer,” said Reagan. “You’re creating a tax to benefit a certain group.”

Another voice that spoke out against SB 365 came from within the community of renewable energy advocates. As the bill headed for the veto override session, the Toxics Action Center in Boston released a report claiming that the biomass plants are among the top 13 biggest industrial air polluters in the state. The center added that the plants subsidized by the bill accounted for 21 percent of the state’s industrial air pollution.

“Burning wood and trash for electricity has been far surpassed technologically by so many different more modern and healthier options,” said Shaina Kasper, Vermont and New Hampshire state director for the Toxics Action Center. “Forcing taxpayers to continue to pay polluters rather than clearing a path for clean, just energy is not a long-term energy solution for New Hampshire.”

Solar schism

Sen. Gary Daniels (R-Milford), another “nay” vote for both bills, said solar isn’t necessarily a new industry at this point.

“After a while, [the industry] needs to be able stand on its own feet and not take subsidies from the state,” he said.

On the other side of the aisle, Sen. Dan Feltes (D-Concord) said it was “penny wise and pound foolish” to vote against the bills.

While he conceded that the bills may have caused a modest bump in rates, he said that the medium- to long-term impact would have caused rate relief by to safeguarding local energy generation projects. “[These bills] actually would have led to lower property tax pressure on many property taxpayers,” said Feltes, a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. “The ability of municipalities and school districts to do more of these local projects to offset their electric costs, that would have obviously had a direct impact on budgets and property taxes.”

Madeleine Mineau, executive director of the New Hampshire Sustainable Energy Association in Concord, said several of the organization’s members are solar developers and small hydro project owners. She said that in the local solar industry especially, a lot of investments in new projects are on hold or being reduced in size and capacity due to the low net metering cap.

“One megawatt for solar is not enough to power a large high school or a small manufacturing plant,” said Mineau. “[Municipalities] were very interested in seeing [SB 446] go through, because one megawatt is not enough to power a municipal load.”

Avard said another net metering bill would be the first bill he’d put in next session if he’s re-elected.

“Hopefully we can change some hearts and minds so we can take advantage of using more local generation,” he said.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Ballot mistakes

The New Hampshire Campaign for Voting Rights released a statement alleging several instances of ballot and sample ballot mistakes in local communities. These issues included ballots distributed to Londonderry voters under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act that had candidates listed with incorrect party affiliations, as well as a candidate listed as running for two parties on a sample ballot in Bedford.

In the towns of Auburn, Chester and Sandown, a candidate who lost in this year’s primary election was included on the general election ballot, while a candidate who won in the primary was left off the general ballot.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Liz Wester, state director for America Votes New Hampshire, told the Hippo that the corresponding town clerks informed the campaign that these ballots were voided and/or corrected. She added, “We have not directly heard from the SOS office about [these] issues.”

Energy efficiency

The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy placed New Hampshire 21st in the nation among its annual State Energy Efficiency Scorecards. Though the Granite State ranked in the top half of the list, it scored poorly among individual categories for state government, buildings, combined heat and power generation, utilities, transportation and appliance standards. New Hampshire earned 19.5 out of a possible 50 points, or 39 percent.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: New Hampshire earned only one above average score (3.5 out of 5) for its state government energy efficiency efforts. The council wrote that the state “leads by example by requiring efficient buildings and fleets, benchmarking public buildings, and encouraging energy savings performance contracts.” However, every other category presented a challenge for the state, including a 2 out of 10 score for transportation and 0 out of 3 points for appliance standards.

Severe weather response

New Hampshire will receive nearly $5.8 million in federal funding to help respond to severe flooding and winter storms last year, according to a statement from Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who said the money will be used to “repair communities and buildings throughout New Hampshire.”

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The funding will be divided among the state’s 10 counties, including $1.6 million to Belknap and Carroll counties; $1.4 million to Coos and Grafton counties; $1.9 million to Belknap, Carroll, Coos, Grafton, Merrimack and Sullivan counties, and $738,628 to Carroll, Rockingham and Strafford counties.

Water conservation grants

The state’s Drinking Water and Groundwater Advisory Commission announced nearly $2.4 million in grants to 15 land conservation projects. The money will be used to help preserve more than 4,700 acres of land near drinking water sources across the state. This includes land in Auburn, Canterbury, Epping, Hopkinton, Northfield and Windham.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The commission was established to oversee nearly $278 million in damages awarded to the state from Exxon-Mobil for MtBE contamination. This is the second and final round of grants that will be approved in 2018, following $24 million approved for infrastructure projects in August.

We’re in the same spot as I write this as we were in a week ago. Two games into a playoff series at one apiece, though this time the Astros are the opponent. Plus, we’re coming off the dilemma of how to balance following Game 2 and the Patriots-Chiefs clash on Football Night in America simultaneously.

Here are a few thoughts on all that, beyond poor us for having such problems.

Patriots Game vs. Red Sox Game: (a) Full disclosure: It was about 65 percent Pats, 35 percent Red Sox for me on Sunday. (b) What was scarier, watching the D try and stop the KC offense or seeing Craig Kimbrel enter the ninth inning? He’s now put the winning run on base in all three playoff appearances, where his line stands at 3.1 innings, 4 earned runs, 4 hits, 2 BB and 1 HBP. (c) I like Sony Michel so far, but he runs too straight up on third and short. He needs to get lower to drive through the hole better. (d) Chris Collinsworth was right: with KC going through his D like butter in the second half, it would’ve been fourth and two the sequel for Coach B deep in Patriots territory if they hadn’t made a crucial third and short on the drive Tom Brady ran it in to make it 40-33.

Leftover Yankee Notes: (a) Alex Cora undressed Aaron Boone in the ALDS as he made Grady Little look like a genius when it came to bullpen management. (b) I’ve never seen a first baseman get more out of a stretch than Steve Pearce did all through the series. He was laying on the ground on the throw from Eduardo Nunez that ended the series. (c) That titanic 479foot homer by Gary Sanchez in Game 2 reminded me no feeling in sport matches hitting a fastball on the fat part of the bat.

(d) Brett Gardner has the biggest head for a guy under 6 feet I’ve seen. The Vegas over-under for the hat size has to be 10½.

I see a lot of Danny Ainge in how Cora does not follow the book just because everyone else does. Like pitching Chris Sale in the eighth inning of Game 4 when he was scheduled to start Game 5. I’ve seen plenty of starters pitch a crucial inning or two the day after a playoff start, like Randy Johnson winning Game 6 and saving Game 7 for Curt Schilling in the 2001 World Series, but not right before their start. That took grapes, because if it went south it could have messed up Game 5 to make him a goat forever. Ditto for using Rick Porcello to help nail down two wins already.

Red Sox Nation spent the week obsessively pounding David Price into the ground, but after his team won a playoff game he started for the first time to stave off heading south down 0-2, we couldn’t say on Sunday, “Houston, we have a problem.”

I’d never seen an ump hit with a throw on a stolen base until Christian Vazquez drilled Joe West with one that was farther to the right than Rush Limbaugh on Saturday. While he’s got a lot of extra padding, the tough guy West gets bonus points for not rubbing it.

Speaking of firsts. I’ve never seen a major leaguer get on first with a walk, go to second on a wild pitch, third on a passed ball and then score on another PB as Mookie Betts did to score the sixth run in the eighth inning on Sunday. Throw in Chris Sale walking the bases loaded before giving up the George Springer hit Nunez coulda/shoulda had for two runs in Game 1 and Justin Verlander later losing it for a time in the fifth to walk three straight, including one with the bases loaded, then throwing a passed ball to give up another run, and there were some funky pitching moments in the first two games.

After seeing what the dynamic Springer brings to the Astros leading off, I give up on my “Mookie should bat third” argument. They’re both huge difference-makers batting at the top of the order.

I’m guessing if Dave Dombrowski could have one do-over since becoming Sox GM (though Tyler Thornburg for Travis Shaw is in the running) he’d pass on signing Price in favor of trading for Justin Verlander when Detroit was desperate to dump his contract after 2015. He was coming off a 5-8 season, so it would’ve been a gamble. But he was just 32 and the ERA was only 3.35. And, in perfect 20-20 hindsight, it’s hard not to notice JV’s postseason record is 13-6 in 23 starts with a 3.08 ERA, including 6-1 since joining Houston.

Broadcast Notes: (a) Give TBS credit for the start times, which finally let East Coast viewers get to bed at a decent time after watching the entire game. (b) TBS’ Brian Anderson is a friendly enough fellow, but he’s said the same things over and over in all six Red Sox broadcasts so far. It makes you appreciate the art of local baseball broadcasters like Joe Castiglione and Dave O’Brien, who don’t do that while doing 162 games. (c) Somebody kill me before I have to see the TBS sideline lady interview the managers during the game even one more time. If I were Cora or A.J. Hinch I’d tell TBS to get out of my dugout and take the fine. (d) Ron Darling scolding Boston for stealing with a big lead vs. the Yanks was nuts. Earth to Ron – it’s a playoff game, where you should score as many runs as you can until it’s over. If that hurts their feelings, tell them to pitch better.

Finally, you didn’t really think you would get out of a column involving the Astros without me saying the overused “Houston, we have a problem” line, did you?

Attractions return for the spooky season

By Scott Murphy

smurphy@hippopress.com

Fans of fright can take their horror movie marathons to the next level at one of the many haunted attractions in southern New Hampshire. This October will prove to be a memorable season for the state’s haunted house circuit, as an essential stop expands and a spooky staple ends its long reign of terror.

Spooky World presents Nightmare New England

Haunted hallways and their inhabitants now have new, permanent homes this HIPPO | OCTOBER 18 - 24, 2018 | PAGE 16

year at Spooky World presents Nightmare New England. Newly built and renovated attractions will be open on select days from Thursday, Oct. 18, through Saturday, Nov. 3, at Mel’s Funway Park (454 Charles Bancroft Hwy., Litchfield).

This year’s attractions include the milelong Haunted Hayride, Brigham Manor, 3D Festival of Fear, Carnage and The Colony.

However, behind the scenes, the main highlights are three 5,000-square-foot pavilions that were rebuilt into permanent structures for haunts. Co-owner Mike Accomando said the developments will allow him and his team to create more involved, multifaceted scenes now that they’ve cut out a big chunk of pre-season setup.

“It takes so much time and energy to put up haunted attractions, and it’s so difficult to get everything to match perfectly when we put it back up year after year,” said Accomando. “We will now be able to really push the envelope. Instead of trying to fixate to a tent, we now have haunts set up that we can continue to layer and grow.”

After facing their fears, patrons can enjoy the Monster Midway, zombie paintball, gokarts, mini-golf, batting cages, carnival concessions, tarot card readers and more.

In recent years, Accomando said they’ve expanded their beer garden area, where older horror fans can enjoy several types of beer and other alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages around a fire-pit the size of a small

swimming pool.

“I always tell people that [choosing] Spooky World is the difference between going to a high school game versus a professional game,” said Accomando. “It’s just a full atmosphere of fun. It isn’t just your basic haunt where you wait in line, go through the haunts and end your night.”

Accomando added that they’re looking into offering some speciality nights throughout the year, including events on Valentine’s Day and whenever Friday the 13th pops up.

Potentially, he said, they might also offer special party packages for people looking to host a large event.

During the Halloween season, haunted attractions will be open from Thursday, Oct.

Haunted Acres

After 20 years of haunting spots along Route 101, Haunted Acres will scare Halloween enthusiasts one last time this season.

The annual event’s final nights of horror will take place between Friday, Oct. 19, and Saturday, Nov. 3, at Candia Springs Adventure Park (446 Raymond Road, Candia).

“I have other business ventures going on that require more time, and since my kids are getting older, I want to spend some more time with family during the fall,” said co-owner John Tracy. “We’re pushing the fact that this is people’s last chance to check us out before we close the doors forever.”

In 1988, Tracy started out as an actor for an early incarnation of Haunted Acres at Pine Acres Campground in Raymond. He dressed up as a flying bat, attached himself to a cable and flew around the woods and haunted hayride scaring patrons.

A decade later, Tracy and a business partner took over the operation at the campground and officially launched Haunted Acres. They relocated to New England Dragway in Epping in 2003 after the campground changed ownership, and in 2009, they finally settled into their current (and final) spot at Candia Springs Adventure Park.

“The location has been unbelievable for running a haunt,” said Tracy. “A lot of other haunts are located in bright light areas with traffic around. We have [our attractions in] an extremely dark creepy woods, and having a river and pond nearby, we get a lot of natural fog that forms at night.”

Haunted Acres offers five unique attractions, including the Quarter-Mile Nightmare Walk, Graveyard of the Damned, Maze from Hell, 3D Nuclear Accident House and Area 52. The park will be offering concessions, as well as a nighttime zipline available for an additional $12 at the gate.

“Our most popular [haunt] is our Cell Block 13 [in Area 52],” said Tracy, referring to a segment within the secret government facility housing flesh-eating inmates. He also highlighted the glow-inthe-dark experience in the Nuclear Accident House and roaming zombies in the Graveyard of the Damned as fan favorites.

Brave visitors will find double-digit scares awaiting them along the Quarter-Mile Night-

mare Walk, though there might be another surprises lurking the woods. Tracy said actors, guests and paranormal investigators have seen or experienced a ghostly entity over the years. He said people have reported hissing and growling sounds, strange noises coming over the speaker system and a bodylike shape out of the corner of their eye when no one else is around.

As for the haunts, Tracy said visitors can expect the “usual great show” with some new scenes added in along the way. More importantly, he stressed the fact this is the final year people can check out one of the main haunted attractions in the state.

Haunted Acres is open on Saturdays and select Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, from Friday, Oct. 19, through Saturday, Nov. 3.

The ticket office opens at 6:30 p.m. and closes at 9:30 p.m. on Thursdays and Sundays and 10:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

ARTS Type it out

Typewriter photography exhibit invites visitor participation

By Angie Sykeny asykeny@hippopress.com Your words can become art in the new “living exhibition” currently on display at Jupiter Hall in Manchester.

“Just Your Type” features photographs of typewriters, each hung above a desk and chair on which the real, working typewriter from the photograph rests. Visitors are free to sit down and type anything they want on the supplied paper. Once a page is filled up, it will be posted on the gallery walls as part of the exhibition.

The exhibition is the work of Brenda Noiseux, Manchester photographer, mixed media artist, writer and typewriter collector.

“This is not your typical come-look-atart exhibit,” she said. “We want people to come interact with it and become a part of it.

Whether they’re a writer or they just want to add a few words, all of it is valid, and there’s nothing wrong with it. We don’t want to limit people’s creativity.”

On Saturday, Oct. 20, there will be a “TypeIn” meet-and-greet, where writers, poets, storytellers and typewriter lovers are invited to come by the exhibition, type out their stories to add to the gallery walls and listen to audio commentary by people sharing how typewriters have helped them create.

Eleven photographs and typewriters from Noiseux’s and her husband Rob Greene’s personal typewriter collection are featured. They have about 50 total, which they store in their spare bedroom when not in use. They collect mostly domestic typewriters, both portable and desktop, from the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s, plus a few made in Italy and Sweden. Noiseux’s favorite, she said, which is part of the exhibition, is a 1950s, 40-pound Olympia desktop typewriter that she calls “The Judge,” because it’s “solid, dependable and more than fair at typing.”

“I fell in love with these machines,” she said. “When you type on a laptop or a computer, there are so many distractions, but when you’re using a typewriter, it frees you from those distractions, and you have to think about your words more, because they aren’t as easy to edit. Having that tactile interaction can really help with your writing.”

Most of the typewriter photographs are taken in outdoor settings, such as Lake Massabesic, train tracks, a motel pool deck and overlooking the Manchester mills.

“Instead of just doing it on a white or black backdrop, I took [the typewriters] out to give them some sense of the places where, as a writer, you might want to type, or where you’d find inspiration,” Noiseux said.

Noiseux’s mission as a photographer, she said, is to document things that most people don’t have access to, or that might otherwise be lost.

“We aren’t creating many new typewriters nowadays, and not everyone has a collection of 50 typewriters at home, so [photographing them] is a way for me to share them,” she

said. “Most people don’t have a lot of knowledge about them, so I think photographing them in this century is important, to remember what we used them for and why we still need them.”

In conjunction with the exhibition, Noiseux and Greene will host two upcoming workshops: “Hamming Your Letters Home” on Thursday, Oct. 18, and “Making Your Own Zine” on Thursday, Oct. 25. In the first, typewriters, paper, envelopes and postage stamps will be provided for participants to write a typed letter to someone they love, miss or want to get back in contact with.

There will also be a discussion about how using a typewriter differs from other forms of communication, like email, social media and a phone call. In the second workshop, participants will use typewriters to create their own zine, a small, six- to eight-page self-published magazine that’s like a print version of a blog.

“It can be about poetry or comic books, how to hold a protest, your thoughts on the latest television show that you’re in love

with — anything you want to share with the world,” Noiseux said.

Noiseux said she hopes the exhibition and the workshops will inspire more people to get creative and participate in art.

“That’s always been the main thing I want people to take away from my art,” she said. “I want them to get engaged in the process and to see that they don’t have to be an artist to tell their stories.”

Pumpkins soar at Extreme Chunkin event

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

High-flying pumpkins are a sight to behold at the fourth annual Extreme Chunkin Festival, happening Saturday, Oct. 20, and Sunday, Oct. 21, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. Teams from across the country will compete using various mechanical devices to launch pumpkins into the air for distance and accuracy.

“This time of year, pumpkins are everywhere you look, but nowhere else can you spend the day watching pumpkins launched thousands of feet into the air,” Kristen Lestock, communications director at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, said. “It’s something totally different and unique.”

Twenty-three teams, coming from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Pennsylvania, will participate in four divisions: Catapults, Trebuchets, Air Cannons and Youth Machines. Each team will get two launches per day. Competition categories will include distance; accuracy, for which teams will estimate to the nearest foot how far they think their pumpkin will go; and the fan vote, determined by the spectators.

To help the spectators choose their favorite team, there will be a meet-and-greet on Saturday where they can enter the machine pit areas for a closer look at the machines, talk to the teams and ask questions, take 34 The Gardening Guy Advice on your outdoors.

pictures and get autographs.

“The teams are encouraged to interact with fans, so the fans can vote based on what they think is a really cool-looking machine, or if they really like the team members,” Lestock said.

Lestock said that most of the teams are made up of people who work in the engineering field.

“Engineering is their full-time job, and [pumpkin chunking] is their hobby and passion that they do on the side,” she said. “For a lot of them, this is a really big deal. They work all year to get their machines ready.”

The pumpkins, donated by local farms,

are La Estrella pumpkins, a tropical variety that is stronger and denser than the standard orange pumpkin. They weigh between 8 and 10 pounds and are between 6 and 8 inches around, “a little smaller than average,” Lestock said, since the goal is to launch them as far as possible.

With 1,200 acres of property, NHMS has plenty of space for the launches, which can easily span thousands of feet. The winning shots last year were 1,490 feet in the Youth division, 2,218 feet in the Trebuchet division, 3,095 feet in the Catapult division and 4,381 feet in the Air Cannon division. The latter was launched by team American Chunker of Mer-

“I don’t think it matters how old you are or what your interests are, seeing those extreme items launched into the air is really cool,” Lestock said.

Great garlic Tips for growing

By Henry Homeyer

listings@hippopress.com

Now is the time to buy garlic for planting — unless you have some from your own garden that you saved for that purpose, as I do.

You’ll want to get your garlic planted a month before the ground freezes, so depending on where you live, you may want to plant some soon. Garlic needs to establish roots now and is not generally planted in the spring.

Of all the veggies I plant, garlic is the easiest to grow, and a good harvest is guaranteed if you follow my instructions. But please don’t sue me if something goes wrong with yours. I’ve never had a bad year in the past 25 years or so of growing garlic.

There are two categories of garlic: hard neck and soft neck. Both will grow in New England, but hard neck is the type grown by most farmers, and the most cold-hardy. It produces a stiff scape or stem each summer that is edible. Soft neck garlic generally comes from California, and is good in the kitchen; it is also the type braided and hung from the ceiling in Italian restaurants as decoration.

Hard neck garlic generally has more flavor, and a wide variety of flavors are possible, depending on the type you grow.

Garlic does best in rich soil that drains well.

If you have a heavy clay soil (one that is sticky when wet), you will want to add plenty of compost to your soil. Adding sand will not help, as sand added to heavy clay produces something like concrete that hardens up in dry times.

If you have poor soil, you may want to build a wood-sided raised bed, and add plenty of compost and topsoil that you purchase in bulk or in bags. I find Moo-Doo brand composted cow manure and topsoil are good soil additives that are sold in bags in many garden centers.

When making a wood-sided bed, do not use treated lumber. Even though most treated lumber is safe to handle and much less toxic than 20 years ago, I don’t want any chemicals leaching into my soil. I use rough-sawn lumber from a local sawmill, preferably hemlock. It generally lasts about 10 years. Eight-inch-wide planks are wide enough to make a nice box.

Plain pine boards will work, too, and metal corners are readily available at garden centers or from catalogs like Gardener’s Supply and Lee Valley Tools. The corners make constructing a garden box easy even for noncarpenters. All you need is a cordless drill to drive the screws. Carrots and other root crops do well in garden boxes, so you can alternate them with garlic in subsequent years if you build two or more boxes.

Once the soil is loose and weed-free, I plant.

I take my long-handled CobraHead weeder, a

nice single-tined weeder, and make furrows in the soil of my raised bed. I keep the furrows about 8 inches apart. I sprinkle some organic bagged fertilizer into each row, and stir it in.

I generally use my own garlic for planting, as it has adapted to my soil and climate over the years. But if I see big, fat bulbs of garlic at a farmers market, I sometimes buy some. I don’t recommend buying garlic for planting at the grocery store as most has been treated to prevent it from germinating, and so it will last longer.

Where can you get garlic for planting? If there is none at your local farmers market, you can get organic garlic from Johnny’s Selected Seeds in Maine (johnnyseeds.com). But don’t wait too long; they sell out most years.

I break the garlic bulbs apart, separating the cloves; there are usually 5 to 10 cloves per head. I push the cloves into the loose soil, pointy end up, about 3 inches deep, and 4 inches apart. I cover with soil, and then pat it gently.

The last step is key if you want a weed-free garlic bed: Put a foot of fluffy mulch hay or straw over the planted garlic. The straw will pack down over the winter and make a nice mulch that will keep most weeds from growing, but the garlic will push through it. It will be ready to harvest next July.

Depending on when you plant, the soil temperature, and when real cold weather comes, your garlic may send up a few green shoots this fall. Don’t panic! It won’t hurt your garlic. When cold weather comes, it will go dormant and do just fine next spring.

I believe that garlic is a healthy and tasty addition to my diet. It may even be medicinal and has been used that way for centuries.

Some believe that if you crush your garlic and then wait 10 minutes before cooking, it will generate cancer-fighting compounds. Who knows? Certainly it can’t hurt.

And this winter if you chew on a clove of garlic before going to the store, you’ll never get a cold, because people will stand back from you if they cough!

Dear Sir, First, I am very sorry to say that I accidentally deleted your email after I transcribed your question, and I can’t remember your name. So for today we will call you Sir. My apologies!

The two pieces that you purchased look to be a diorama form of a country cabin scene. These are not too uncommon to find in many different forms.

Some are behind glass and some are just like the ones you bought. Dioramas can be very simple or very detailed and can have mixed values depending on what the subject is. I have seen many in the thousand-dollars range to under $20. It depends on the subject, age, detailing and condition.

Yours looks to be from the era of the 1940s and possibly from a southern scape. Then again they could have been made just to look that way. Lots of this style were done in a mass production, possibly with little changes in detail-

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Only real advantage of synthetic blend oil is the cost Dear Car Talk: I have a 2015 Nissan Rogue with 30,000 miles on it.

I’ve done all the oil changes as called for.

So far, I’ve always used a synthetic

By Ray Magliozzi blend oil. At my last oil change, however, they used a full synthetic oil. I want to go back to the synthetic blend next time. Any problem with that? Thanks. — Al. No. As an American, you have a constitutional right to switch oils, Al. There are three types of oil out there these days.

There’s conventional oil, which comes from decomposed dinosaurs and is pumped out of the ground.

That’s what we’ve been using for decades. And it’s been constantly improved over the years.

Sometime in the 1970s, Mobil One became the first widely available synthetic motor oil. Synthetic oils also have been improved over the years.

Then there is what’s called a synthetic blend, which is the material your leisure suit was made out of in 1979, Al. Actual-

ly, a blend is exactly what it sounds like: It’s a mix of synthetic oil and conventional oil. And the only real advantage of a synthetic blend is that it’s a little cheaper than a pure synthetic.

In terms of its longevity and its ability to lubricate, conventional oil is the least effective, a blend would be next best, and a synthetic would be best of all. And, in fact, over the past decade in particular, we’ve seen car manufacturers really embrace synthetic oils because, since they help engines last longer, they cut down on warranty costs. And bad Yelp reviews.

And even though synthetic oils are more expensive, since you change them about half as often, we’ve found that it’s pretty close to a wash. So you’ll only pay for half has many oil changes, half as many oil disposal fees, and half as many oil filters.

So, technically, there’s no problem with you switching back to a synthetic blend, Al, but there’s no real advantage to it.

Unless you really enjoy the coffee and vending machines at your oil-change place.

Dear Car Talk, Could you help me understand why car manufacturers are allowed to include a system where the car’s horn goes off each time a person locks or unlocks his or her door? I never fail to walk through any parking lot before several go off. Some are much louder than others. My hearing is very keen, and the horns continue to startle me.

They wake me as my neighbors come home late, and as they leave early for work. When I think of it, I wear ear plugs. Not fun.

Surely these horns contribute to noise pollution and hearing loss. How many people have walked or biked past a car as its oblivious owner blasts the horn? Isn’t there a soundless way to lock up these vehicles? What does it take to get auto manufacturers to stop including the horn blast, to have existing vehicles recalled and to create a culture where drivers want to lock up silently? Thank you for your insight.

— Sabrina I agree with you, Sabrina. I’m not a fan of the audible horn alert for locking and unlocking a car. For one thing, it wakes up my wife and lets her know

precisely how late I’m getting home from my poker game.

Here’s the good news: We drive new cars all the time, to review them (cartalk.com/test-drive-notes). And pretty much every new car has a way to turn off the horn alert.

It used to be that you’d have to go to your dealer, and they’d have to do some minor programming magic to turn it off.

But now, pretty much every car has a “vehicle settings” menu, where you can choose “horn,” “lights” or “nothing.” I always choose “lights.” That’s enough to let me know that the car responded to key fob command. But not so much that it makes the guy walking by the car make use of his Depends.

The problem isn’t so much the carmakers; it’s the car owners. People either don’t know they can turn off the horn, or they don’t want to turn off the horn.

So I think you’re going to have start a national movement, Sabrina. You’re going to have to form a political party called the Anti-Horners, and you’ll have to be its candidate for president in 2020. When you get it set up, send me a yard sign.

A historic former fire station in Nashua will soon be the home of the state’s newest craft nanobrewery, with unique beer-infused food creations in addition to a line of IPAs and stouts.

Liquid Therapy, on track to open by the end of October, is the project of co-founders and self-proclaimed “brewery shrinks” Jason Palmer and Stan Tremblay, along with business partner Amy Vetrano. The team officially broke ground in July on the cityowned property that has sat vacant for several decades after once housing a children’s museum and an arts and science center.

Tremblay, who will serve as the head chef and brewer, has a resume that includes work as a banquet chef at the Radisson Hotel and volunteering with the New Hampshire Food Bank. He’s also been homebrewing since 2010.

“The people there have been a great influence on where we’re going and have given me some great ideas,” he said.

Liquid Therapy plans to introduce a starting lineup of about six to eight beers, which will likely be in rotation with seasonal and specialty lines, according to Palmer. He called them “therapeutic” beverages, and they may include beers like a Mexican nut brown ale with cinnamon, chocolate and vanilla (meant to mimic a Mexican hot chocolate), a strawberry rhubarb cream ale, a Belgian ale made with lemongrass, a chocolate mint stout similar in taste to a peppermint patty, a pumpkin spice latte porter, or a snickerdoodle latte cream ale.

4.69”wide x 2.6” high “I like things that bring pleasure to the HIPPO Horizontal page palate rather than a punch in the 1/8 mouth,” Tremblay said of his starting lineup ideas.

“It’s also just really unique stuff you’re not ever going to find in the store.”

Why change?

Everyone has his own style.

When you have found it, you should stick to it. — Audrey Hepburn

Palmer added that experimentation with different brews will continue to come based on customer reaction and demand. In the long term, he said, they also hope to obtain the necessary licensing to make cider on site.

The food menu will feature made-fromscratch comfort items meant to pair with — and some even infused with — several of Liquid Therapy’s beers. Items will include a cheese pizza with more than a half dozen topping options, honey Buffalo chicken nachos with blue cheese, red onion and cilantro, various soups like a chicken soup made with stock from whole chickens, vegetarian options like a zucchini and summer squash wrap with spices, Buffalo mozzarella cheese and an herb mayonnaise, and several sandwiches and paninis that may include a BLT, pesto chicken, grilled cheese, ham and Swiss, roast beef and more. Some beer-infused mustards and other condiments may be added to the mix too.

Tremblay is also working on several beer-infused custards and ice creams for the final dessert menu, like a chocolate raspberry custard made with a raspberry stout, a Mexican chocolate ice cream from the Mexican nut brown ale, and a watermelon ice cream made from his watermelon cream ale.

“The sky’s the limit,” Palmer said of the team’s plans. “Just to be able to go back there and be like a scientist, if you will, playing around with this and that, is awesome.”

Finally, a small selection of non-alcoholic beverages like hand-squeezed lemonade, hot chocolate and fresh pressed coffee will be offered.

There are potential plans for Liquid Therapy to host special events like performing bands, trivia nights, release parties and even fundraisers with the participation

of the New Hampshire Food Bank.

Palmer said the name “Liquid Therapy” came up when he and Tremblay were tossing around ideas for what to call their new business endeavor.

“We said, ‘Why does someone have a beer?’ And then we thought, well how many times do you hear people say how much they can’t wait to get home and have a drink after a stressful day? So it is essentially a form of therapy,” he said. “We wanted it to be different, but we also wanted to have some meaning behind it.”

Contoocook man launches Native American food trailer It’s Fall Time!

We’re cooking up these amazing Sweet Potato Donuts!

REDUCE YOUR WAIT & CALL AHEAD FOR SEATING!

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Darryl Peasley of Contoocook is not only well-known in the local Native American community, he’s also a successful cook, having offered Native American foods like pulled buffalo and venison at small events as part of his former catering business.

When Peasley, who is of Native American descent, volunteered for the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum’s latest Pow Wow event earlier this year, Peasley decided to test out what would become his newest business venture: a mobile food trailer offering authentic Native American cuisine in addition to a variety of other old-time American and Italian favorites.

Under the modest moniker The Old Guy Can Cook, Peasley is ready to start actively booking both private and public events.

“There were two vendors there at that last Pow Wow, but they weren’t offering anything Native,” he said. “So the trailer … was the first jumping off point to see if it was going to be a hit or not.”

Peasley works as a highway patrol foreman for the state Department of Transportation and, nearing retirement, saw an opportunity to do something new that he’d truly enjoy.

He bought the 20-foot-long, eight-and-a-halffoot-wide and seven-foot-tall trailer last year and spent most of this spring and summer getting it ready. The trailer contains a commercial stove and oven, a deep fryer, a mixer and a three-bay sink, all of which he added with the help of his four sons and friends, he said.

The trailer was one of more than a half dozen food vendors that appeared at the inaugural Ultimate Yard Sale & Food Truck Festival in Hopkinton on Sept. 29. Peasley served barbecue pulled buffalo sandwiches topped with coleslaw in addition to frybread, beef and chicken tacos.

“Frybread is basically a staple in the Native American community,” he said. “It’s flour, baking soda and salt, and then either a milk or a water. It’s a very simple dough, always fried, and you can use it for tacos or you can stuff meat with it. The recipe I use is actually a Navajo recipe.”

Other items Peasley would like to offer out of his food trailer in the future include Three Sisters — a dish made of squash, corn and beans that can be used in different soups and stews — as well as buffalo cheeseburgers, chilis with either venison or buffalo, desserts like whoopie pies and an Indian pudding, variations of the frybread like an oven-baked frybread pizza or a strawberry shortcake or apple pie using frybread as the base, and unique combinations of Native American and New England styles, like corn fritters.

Peasley said he hopes the food trailer’s offerings will branch out beyond strictly Native American options, too. His wife Mary, who is Italian, is working on bringing classic comfort staples like homemade meatball subs and various stuffed calzones to the regular menu.

The Old Guy Can Cook food trailer will appear at just about any type of requested event; you can call for weddings, birthday parties, cookouts and everything in between, Peasley said. He is also looking ahead to the possibility of booking future food truck festivals and powwows across the state.

“I’m looking forward to next year because I plan on being busy every single weekend,” he said.

Josh Philbrick and his wife Sonya of Pembroke are the owners of The Smoothie Bus (785-1717, facebook.com/smoothiebus), a Manchester-based smoothie bus delivery service launched earlier this year. The bus is available for smoothie deliveries at businesses across Manchester, Hooksett and other neighboring towns, and it has also appeared at several local events, 5Ks, Old Home Days and farmers markets. All of the smoothies on the menu are made with a mixture of fresh and frozen fruits, with no artificial juices or syrups. There are traditional smoothie flavors like strawberry banana and pina colada, plus more innovative flavor pairings like Peanut Butter Power (with banana, spinach, peanut butter, cocoa and whey protein) and Green Machine (mango, pineapple, banana, apple and spinach). Seasonal flavors for the fall have been introduced, like a pumpkin spice smoothie and an apple crisp smoothie with cinnamon. All smoothies can be blended with lowfat milk, almond milk or coconut water. There are also add-ons like flaxseed, goji powder and ginkgo biloba. Among the bus’s next public appearances will be at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester on Friday, Oct. 26, and at Petersbrook Fields in Hooksett on Saturday, Oct. 27. Philbrick said there are plans underway to expand with additional buses for the Nashua and Concord areas by the spring of 2019.

Combine ingredients into a blender and blend for about 30 seconds to a minute to get a good consistency (if using fresh fruit instead of frozen, the recipe might require a little bit more ice).

FOOD

FROM THE

pantry

Ideas from off the shelf

Spiced apple chili When a co-worker first showed me this recipe, I immediately dismissed it. Sure, I love hearty fall-inspired recipes as much as the next person, but this seemed like overkill.

Why would I ever want to put apples in my chili? But I decided I had to try it for myself to see if it was as awful as it sounded, so I rounded up the ingredients from my pantry and went to work. Shockingly, the finished product was sweet, savory and satisfying.

I took a few liberties with this recipe in terms of the amounts of seasonings and spices I used, but the ingredients stayed the same.

With the exception of substituting ground turkey for ground beef, I used every other ingredient the recipe called for without fail.

It was nearly painful to add the cider vinegar and chopped apples, because I thought I was ruining a perfectly good pot of chili.

But after my first taste of the blended ingredients, I realized my snap judgment about the recipe was unfair.

The cider vinegar and apples add both a sweetness and a tartness that are not typically found in traditional chili recipes. I found the flavors made the dish a bit more interesting, and it broke up the doldrums of

my weekly fall recipe routine.

I would argue the addition of the cinnamon is what really blends the sweetness of the apples and the savory-spicy chili into a cohesive dish, as the warmth from the cinnamon lends itself well to both sweet and savory dishes. I found that a lot of tasting was needed at intermittent periods while making this recipe, and the spices could be adjusted as needed, particularly the salt and cinnamon (I added more of each than the recipe called for to match my family’s tastes). Additionally, I added more cumin than paprika and a bit more chili powder to kick the spice level up a notch.

While I’ve been known to let chili simmer on the stove for hours, this recipe proved great for a relatively quick weekend meal. It came together in a little over an hour but held up longer on the stove as my family ate in shifts around various weekend activities. I think this would be a great recipe to try in a slow cooker as well, as the extra time to blend the sweet and the savory would likely produce an even more delicious outcome.

WE HAVE WHAT YOU CRAVE!

LUNCH IS BACK!

Remember when a beer was just a beer?

It was a glorious time before IBUs when you didn’t have to worry about how many times a brew was dry-hopped or what combination of hop strains was used. You would just drink the beer and you’d enjoy it and you might not even think much about it. All beer was good — or at least better than no beer.

I started thinking about those days as I perused aisles and aisles of wonderful craft brews at my local beer store recently. I spent far more time than I’d care to admit walking back and forth, reaching into the cooler to retrieve a six-pack or a four-pack, only to think better of it. I was overwhelmed. I needed beer but I needed to get out of there.

To combat my confusion, I grabbed a 12-pack of my personal standby, Harpoon IPA. Its familiar packaging gave me comfort. Its familiar hoppy bitterness pleased my palate without overwhelming it. I could just drink this beer and enjoy it without analyzing it.

I want to check out as many craft breweries as I can and I want to sample as many different styles of IPA and saison and sours and stouts as my tastebuds can handle. But sometimes you have to opt for old standbys, beers that are completely and entirely solid, if not otherwise remarkable. My old standbys form the foundation of my appreciation for beer.

They’re tasty, predictable and enjoyable without being too extreme in any way.

Aside from Harpoon IPA, here are a few brews that I turn to when the craft beer store is just too much for me: Country Pale Ale by Wachusett Brewing Co.: Underrated, simple, flavorful and satisfying. This is my all-around go-to beer, as it works in every situation — at least every situation I’ve encountered thus far.

All Day IPA by Founders Brewing Co.: This is the quintessential session IPA. It doesn’t have the bite or the body of a big hop bomb, but it’s got just enough hops and just enough flavor to beg for another sip.

Pemi Pale Ale by Woodstock Inn Brewery: I had a couple of these recently as I slapped a coat of stain on the swingset.

Bright, mildly hoppy and easy to drink.

This was an excellent choice to get me through this project. The swingset looks great, by the way. Cheers!

remember trying this in college and I’m sure I made the bitter beer face. I was just a kid. This is the classic pale ale. You cannot go wrong with this.

Oatmeal Stout by Samuel Smith’s Brewery: Rich, smooth and silky with a little bitterness — perfect for when you crave the richness of a stout.

Jeff Mucciarone is a senior account executive with Montagne Communications, where he provides communications support to the New Hampshire wine and spirits industry.

Dogs, Halloween and beer Smuttynose Brewing Co. is hosting a Halloween dog costume party to benefit Cocheco Valley Humane Society. First, I think the brewery should take a bow for its clever name: Mutt-ster Mash. I’m impressed. The event takes place Oct. 28 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Smuttynose, 105 Towle Farm Road in Hampton, and features a variety of doggy activities, including bobbing for apples, a haunted agility course, a hay bale climb and a costume competition for people and their dogs. My Dog’s Mind will also be “wowing” guests with tricks and training demonstrations. Admission is free.

Local businesses CocoChew and Sit Stay Smile Pet Photography will be donating 50 percent of their profits from the event to Cocheco Valley Humane Society. For every beer sold, Smuttynose will also donate $1 to Cocheco Valley Humane Society.

Big Rig BBQ truck will be serving barbecue and Smuttlabs, Smuttynose’s innovation brewery, will offer its latest release, Chupa Mexican Stout. “This is a deep chocolatey stout brewed with vanilla, cinnamon and ghost pepper for an added kick,” according to the brewery. Smuttynose will also be serving its Pumpkin Ale, Vunderbar Pilsner and Old Brown Dog Ale. It’s for the dogs.

POP CULTURE

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Aaron Parks, Little Big (Ropeadope Records)

I talked about this innovative Seattle pianist way back in 2005, when he held up an end of the Wynton Marsalis LP Higher Ground, which was — if I’m reading Wikipedia right — basically when he blew up. His debut LP as a leader, the highly acclaimed Invisible Cinema, came out on the hallowed Blue Note Records label in 2008, so we do have some history going on here. He’s got a thing for indie rock (Grizzly Bear bass player Chris Taylor produced this new one), so when you hear that he’s a genre-bender, it’s true. But it’s more notable than that; in fact, this album’s opening track, “Kid,” may be the most remarkable jazz-math I’ve heard all year — it’s like a smooth-combo remake of prog tuneage made by Return to Forever. If any fans of earbud greatness aren’t already ordering this thing from Amazon, there’s more, like “Professor Strangeweather,” in which guitarist Greg Tuohey makes noises both frightfully innovative and wonderfully wide, all while keeping the volume at John McLaughlin level. I can’t recommend this enough. A+ — Eric W. Saeger Spiritualized, And Nothing Hurt (Fat Possum Records)

If you don’t know, this band picked up where U.K. psychedelicindie pioneers Spacemen 3 left off in 1990 and 1991. Led by the latter crew’s co-leader Jason Pierce, these guys picked up S3’s record contract and went on to do some rather remarkable things, like filling Royal Albert Hall once. The game is still space-rock, so it’s said, but I think of it as the sort of draggy muck that served as backgrounding for ’60s schlock flicks like Dr. Phibes. No, I am not this genre’s biggest fan, but when this stuff is done well, I’m not going to push a miserly brand of closed-mindednes: some of it’s good, OK, like the two early-Pink Floyd-ish tunes that kick off this business (“A Perfect Miracle” has some epic moments, there’s no denying). Ah, but then we come to “Here it Comes (The Road) Let’s Go,” representative of the sort of Slint-ish lemming-hipster strum-along campfire numbers that make me run screaming from the room. That’s just the ticket for some, and then again I’ve really never grokked the in-crowd’s insatiable desire for apathetic, faux-happy mediocrity.

Enjoy, and stuff. B- — Eric W. Saeger

• For the Oct. 19 album-release date, we’re staring down the barrel of some sort of rock ’n’ roll crazy train, what with Christmastime shopping and too many bands making albums and stuff. Where do you want to start? Sure, the new Ace Frehley album, Spaceman, works for me, if you really want to bother with it. Actually you should, because Ace, the original guitarist for Kiss, did something so awesome that if it happened today, the internet would just melt into a puddle of incoherent, idiotic babbling — OK, wait, skip that analogy, let’s just say he out-cooled anything that was ever done before, namely by crashing a DeLorean into a phone pole. In my book, there is nothing cooler than that, nothing. What else is cool about Ace is that even though he seemed the most wimpy of the four Kiss dudes, he talked like a criminal hoodlum from the Bronx, which may have been a result of the accident, who knows. Right, then, I’ll stop procrastinating and get to the point, which is my disappointment over how stupid his new music will be, I just know it, let’s go say some last rites over this epic fail. Right, right, the single is called “Bronx Boy” and, wait this is awesome, the riff is stolen from the coda of Pearl Jam’s “Evenflow,” and then Ace sings some dumb stuff, and I’m bagging it before it gets stupid. This album rules.

• Post-punk techno-jam princess Neneh Cherry is 54 these days, but you rotten little brats need to understand that she was awesome in her day — here, go use your smartphone and Google “Buffalo Stance,” such a sexy and awesome tune. No? Fine, I’m done helping you people, go watch your Rick and Archer Hunger Force, I’m going to go find something off her new LP, Broken Politics, expecting disappointment but hoping for the best! Look there, here’s some song off it, called “Shotgun Shack,” which has this bony African beat and Neneh being chill and awesome. She’s wearing a muumuu. The circle has closed.

• Wait, you’re kidding me, more stuff from wannabe Led Zeppelins Greta Van Fleet, another record, called Anthem of the Peaceful Army? Two records in their first year, like Zep and Sabbath and Van Halen, ehhh? Really? OK, I’ll play “spot the stolen Zep riff,” while wishing there was a Music Critic Jeopardy! game, with Alex Trebek turning the letters and whatever. I can hardly wait, let’s go (honest prediction: The teaser tune will be ripped off from In Through the Out Door). This is a full-length LP, because need to capitalize, and the first single is “When the Curtain Falls.” I’m ready Alex. OK, sound-wise it’s like Physical Graffiti again, like the EP. Hmph, nothing overly wrong; maybe it’s good if you listen to it a million times.

The guitar solo’s OK; they should keep that guy.

• I should probably know more things about sniveling hipster band Peter Bjorn and John, other than the fact that their big hit, “Second Chance” sounds like the Hives beating up Grizzly Bear, but meanwhile, they have a new album, Darker Days, coming out immediately.

Gick, this song “Breakin’ Point” starts off like Ennio Morricone spaghetti, and then it’s like early My Morning Jacket. These guys must think it’s 2005. So cute. — Eric W. Saeger

New comic book show and Halloween party

missioned pieces of art depicting Elvira.

“I’m an art collector by nature. I collect a few comic books, but what I really love is original comic artwork,” House said.

“When I started this Elvira collection, I found that a lot of artists who created this art for me really got into it. It was something different. For many of them, it was the first time they ever drew her.”

Raffle drawings held every hour will award prizes like a wardrobe card signed

by Walking Dead star Andrew Lincoln, a signed Alice Cooper action figure, a signed Elvira wallet, a Jim Lee Blueline Edition action figure and more.

During the time after the comic show ends and before the Halloween Bash After Party begins, attendees can participate in “Scaryaoke” and belt out some tunes.

The Halloween Party, which is 21+ and limited to 150 guests, will include finger food and a cash bar; live music, including classic rock covers, dance tunes and Halloween-themed hits performed by local band The Chills; and a costume contest with cash prizes for the first-, second- and third-place winners.

“For some people, dressing up for a comic show is what they live for, but other people can feel a little inhibited,” House said. “But have a comic show in late October with a Halloween after-party, and it’s a different story. People tend to let their hair down.”

Every year for the last two decades, Randy House has hosted a Halloween costume party for all of his friends. When his wife told him she wanted to stop having the parties at their home by the time they turned 60, House came up with another way to keep them going — by combining that Halloween party know-how with his passion for comic books and 30 years of experience attending and working for comic book events to create the Southern New Hampshire Comic Bash.

“I’ve been blessed to meet and become friends with a lot of comic book professionals and talented creators, and I always wanted to do my own show,” House said.

“Finally, I saw this opportunity to do it, and I said, ‘I’m going to pull the trigger on this.’”

A comic book show by day and a Halloween party by night, the first annual event takes place on Saturday, Oct. 20, at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Nashua.

The first 100 people to buy a ticket will receive a mystery grab bag when they enter, filled with comics and other goodies. Ten of those bags will have a winning ticket for a larger prize, like an exclusive artist sketch or a signed print. For kids, there will be candy stations where they can do some early trick-or-treating.

Twenty artists and comic book creators will be at the show. Some of the featured guests will include Billy Tucci, creator of the comic book character Shi; Frank Tieri, writer for Marvel comics like New Excalibur, Iron Man, Wolverine and more; Craig Rousseau, best known for his work on DC Comics titles like Harley Quinn, Batman Beyond and Impulse; Jason Badower, who has worked on DC Comics like Wonder Woman ’77 and Arrow; and others.

Additionally, there will be 13 comic vendors, selling comic books, comic art, toys and more, including local comic book shops like Double Midnight Comics, Merrymac Games & Comics and Chris’ Comics.

“I really wanted to take things back to that old-school kind of comic book show, where it’s all about meeting the creators and artists, spending a little money with the vendors and filling some holes in your comic book collection,” House said.

In a separate room, the “Classic Monsters Theater,” which seats 40 people, will be showing classic, black-and-white monster movies like Frankenstein (1931) and Dracula (1931), with cash bar service.

For fans of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, there will be an art gallery featuring House’s personal collection of more than 40 com-

Join us at the Nashua Library for a presentation of his award-winning book, Killers of the Flower Moon.

123310

It’s a simple message that has been repeated throughout the ages: Keep at the struggle until you succeed. Fall down seven times, get up eight. Bobby Bones (he’s got a radio show and wrote the bestselling book Bare Bones, and he’s on the current season of Dancing With the Stars) gives us a new take on that old advice in his newest book.

Bones is a relatively young guy who grew up poor and who longed to be one of the “lucky ones.” Abandoned by his biological father and raised by his mother, Bones didn’t start on third base as he points out other very successful people have. Instead he had to scrounge and work for what he wanted. He had a fire in his belly for success and he used that passion to recover from each failure (and he had many) along the way.

At one point in his life he attempts to confront his greatest fear: contacting his father.

After working himself up about it and finally making the connection, he realized it wasn’t as fearful as he had thought it would be. That confronting of his fear is what inspired him to write this book.

When you’re scrappy and young, it helps if you have a sense of humor, and that Bones does. He interjects jokes and self-deprecating humor throughout his book, letting us know that along with fighting, grinding and repeating, he recognizes that there is a certain amount of luck involved in life. If you have it, you take as much advantage of it as you can. Recognize an opening for what it is and dive in.

In a nutshell, here’s Bones’ philosophy: Fight – Decide what it is you really want, set your goals, and strategize and take the first steps toward a goal.

Grind – Never miss a detail, always be ready and on call, and do the work no matter how tired, sick or over it you feel.

Repeat – Have the patience, resources and resilience to keep doing the same thing over

and over until you get what it is you really want.

Basically, the message is if you want it bad enough you’ll work hard enough for it.

Again, not the newest or most original insight, but the way in which he recounts his story is certainly inspirational. I think that younger people will resonate with this story a little more than older folks will. Bones is savvy, he’s hip and he makes a lot of cultural references. He comes across as witty, natural and down-to-earth, the kind of guy that you’d like to grab a beer with (although he says he doesn’t drink alcohol so maybe a cool iced tea would be better).

Bones is a little ADD-ish. I think that he may have dictated much of this manuscript because it reads like someone who tells you a story and then remembers an unrelated detail, tells you about that and then returns to the original story. It can be a little distracting when reading and this is one of those books that may come across a little better in the audio format (Bones is, after all, trained in radio).

This book is clearly intended for his radio (and earlier book) audience; in fact he includes a 40- (forty!)-page “shout-out” to his Bteam (Bones team) supporters (in tiny print). If you look at many of the reviews on Amazon, they reference #Bteam. It feels like a cheesy way to get an instant audience. But then, he worked for and earned that audience.

Still, there is something about Bones. He’s honest, earnest, and comes across as a complete original. He is not afraid to use his personal experiences (warts and all), which adds to his charm. There seems to be no holding back in his recounting of his mistakes. He is, without doubt, an accomplished storyteller.

And at the end of the day, it’s in the telling that the lessons are learned.

Fail Until You Don’t is a quick, not terribly deep read. I see this one as a blueprint on how to set goals and how to go after them for people who don’t have a clue where to begin. B — Wendy E. N. Thomas

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

First Man (PG-13)

sen), First Man is two hours and 21 minutes long and is distributed by Universal Studios.

Neil Armstrong goes to the moon in First Man, a downbeat movie about space exploration.

I was going to say “the most downbeat movie about space exploration” but, thinking back, The Martian, a movie where an astronaut stranded alone in a hostile environment almost starves to death, is probably the most upbeat, optimistic movie set in space in a while (I mean, recent-ishly, Gravity, Interstellar and Passengers; bummer elements in all.)

First Man begins with the death of Karen (Lucy Strafford), the toddler-aged daughter of Neil (Ryan Gosling) and Janet Armstrong (Claire Foy). Throughout the next decade, Neil, whom we meet as a test pilot and an engineer, becomes more integral to the space program and its efforts to make up for a string of Soviet firsts by sending American astronauts to the moon. Along the way, other astronauts, men who become close buddies of Neil, die, including in space program accidents. Each time, the grief seems to reopen the unhealed wound of Karen’s death for both Neil and Janet.

First Man gets top marks for cinematography and for pairing the beautiful images of rockets and suburban life and moonscapes with a score that is hauntingly lovely (even if it is also downbeat just as often as it is majestic). Listening to it after the movie, the score blends a classical music quality with a 1950s golden-age-of-musicals lightness. It’s beautiful.

First Man also features some very satisfying scenes of showing us the work, NASA-wise.

It is genuinely enjoyable to watch the scientists and engineers puzzle over elements of the “getting to the moon” problem and equally enjoyable to watch the trial and error Armstrong brings to the real-world work on untying those knots. And the benefit of spending so much time with Neil and his trau-

matized family, I guess, is that we see that this massive achievement was the result of work by regular people with their own regular-people baggage. Regular people, not singular superhumans, went to the moon. If regular people did that, there is a sliver of optimism that regular people now could do equally big things.

I say sliver because there is something about the way all this is shot and the way the movie weaves in President Kennedy’s “we choose to go to the moon” speech that feels optimistic but only in this sort of nostalgic way and that also has a missed-opportunity feel about it. Or maybe that’s just the present day bleeding in to how I’m seeing it.

Of course the epicenter of all this understandable sadness is Gosling’s restrained Neil and Foy’s tightly wound Janet, a deeply thankless role that Foy brings humanity and layers to almost in spite of the movie. The movie seems to want to convince us of the hardship and sacrifice shared by the astronauts’ wives but then turns away anytime

they seem about to step into the spotlight.

There is one particular scene where Janet seems ready to comfort a widow (Olivia Hamilton) but then we cut away before we see any real interaction between the women. We see a lot of Gosling’s Neil brooding; a trim of one of the brooding scenes to give us Janet and her inner turmoil and perhaps her relationship with the other women would have added another layer to the movie and bolstered what I think it was trying to do by making the family such a centerpiece to begin with.

First Man has for me a Gangs of New York problem; as with that movie, I liked much of what surrounds the central story and performance of First Man but I couldn’t warm up to Gosling and what felt like a very mannered performance. B Rated PG-13 for some thematic content involving peril and brief strong language, according to the MPAA.

If, like me, you can get a little dizzy standing on a step stool, there may be moments in this movie when you want to look away.

Entertainingly, there are moments when the filmmakers themselves point the camera at Alex Honnold but then can’t watch as he dangles by his thumbs hundreds of feet in the air.

But his feats are so compelling, I couldn’t help watching.

Free solo climbing is just that — climbing by yourself free of any of the climbing equipment that keeps you from dying in a fall during other types of rock climbing. As one climber explains, a free solo climb is like an Olympic event where your only choices are perform perfectly and win the gold or die.

Alex Honnold is great at the single-minded focus required for such a climb, less good at things like human relationships, though his girlfriend Sanni does seem to pull emotion out of him. The filmmakers (particularly codirector Jimmy Chin) and crew are also part of the story as they try to figure out how to shoot Alex’s climb without getting in the way of it or putting him in danger.

The movie highlights both the risks of free solo and the fun of it — which is not just the risk aspect but a kind of problem-solving involved in figuring out just where to put your foot and just how to reach with your fingers.

Before attempting the climb, Alex does a fair amount of work climbing the cliff with ropes, working out exactly what route to take, which is the kind of fun process stuff that you don’t have to be a climber yourself to enjoy. B+

local paper, a third brother is found. Eddy Galland, Bobby Shafran and David Kellman grew up within some 100 miles of each other but didn’t meet each other until their late teens. They had an instant connection ― but the story isn’t quite the fairy tale it first appears, especially when they start to consider why they were separated in the first place. The documentary’s look at the background for the brothers’ adoption suggests a psychological study of twins that cared more about testing nature versus nurture than it did for the well-being of its subjects.

B+ (Released June 29. Available for home viewing.)

Reviewlets Venom (PG-13) Tom Hardy, Riz Ahmed.

I don’t know canon Venom but I feel like Tom Hardy is perfectly cast at least for this Venom, an alien symbiote who bonds with Hardy and can help him muscle up when henchmen need to be beaten up (or, in a few cases, eaten). Hardy is a believable tough guy, someone who could and would, say, headbutt a hired goon without the backup of any additional superpowers, but also something of a schlub who doesn’t macho out reflexively.

He also makes the goofier side of both characters ― both the selfdestructive investigative reporter Eddie and the mischievous quality he gives Venom ― work. C+

Bad Times at the El Royale (R)

A group of people in trouble in late 1960s California wind up spending a night together at a faded glory hotel in Bad Times at the El Royale, a movie that really likes itself.

Salesman Laramie Sullivan (Jon Hamm), rumpled priest Father Daniel Flynn (Jeff Bridges), singer Darlene Sweet (Cynthia Erivo) and defensive hippie Emily Summerspring (Dakota Johnson) all arrive at roughly the same time, with baggage both figurative and literal, at the El Royale, a hotel built on the state line between Nevada and California. Laramie calls dibs on the honeymoon suite — the vacuum company he works for is footing the bill, he claims.

Later, though, we learn that it’s because that room is where his boss at the FBI has hidden the surveillance equipment meant to capture some unnamed target doing something bad. What “Laramie” finds, though, is that the bureau isn’t the only entity keeping an eye on the El Royale. He also learns just enough about the other guests to know that everybody is keeping secrets, whether it’s

Father Flynn, who appears to be digging a hole in the floor of his room, or Emily, who has someone tied to a chair.

Because the movie opens with a scene that took place years earlier, we can gather that Flynn is searching for a bag of money hidden in the floor by a man who didn’t get a chance to retrieve it. And because we see a few snippets of news report, we know that the girl (Cailee Spaeny) tied up in Emily’s room might have something to do with a violent murder and a cult headed by Billy Lee (Chris Hemsworth). When Father Flynn approaches Darlene to take her to dinner in the hotel lobby, we suspect he might be doing more than just repaying her for the singing he’s heard through his walls.

Look, I’ve also been unduly proud of stuff I’ve made, I understand the impulse to show off, to, for example, throw a Manson-family-style cult into a story about an Alzheimer’s-suffering robber, but come on.

Coco Chanel is said to have advised, before leaving the house, one should look in the mirror and take one thing off. Bad Times needs give itself a hard look and take three things off.

I’ve probably spoiled some of the hidden elements of this movie — it’s told in a way that replays certain scenes from different characters’ perspectives as we get the backstory for each. There are even more elements I haven’t mentioned, riffs on the dark side of 1960s southern California that feel

like plot pile-ons rather than texture. All of this gives the movie a very late-1990s, Tarantino-era feel, which doesn’t quite lead to the payoff that all this table-setting would need to make it seem tightly plotted and not excessive. Any two independent story elements could have been woven together to be a fun locked-room-style noir. I kept thinking of the movie Clue and how this movie had, at some points, a similar blend of humor and “muhrder!” that could work if the story had been tighter. This is the kind of movie where there are more moments that seem like they could be fun than actually are fun.

Everybody’s performance is essentially fine, if more or less the kind of performance where the costume is doing half the work (particularly in the case of the plaid jacket worn by Hamm). I found myself most invested in Erivo’s character (though she also has a wardrobe element used for effect).

According to IMDb, Erivo (who I don’t think I’ve ever seen in anything before) is in the upcoming Widows and slated to star in Harriet, a Harriet Tubman biopic with a 2019 release date. So, yay, I’ve found a new actor whose career I can root for. Just not so much in this movie. C+ Rated R for strong violence, language, some drug content and brief nudity, according to the MPAA. Written and directed by Drew Goddard, Bad Times at the El Royale is two hours and 21 minutes long and is distributed by Twentieth Century Fox Film.

When Missy Raines went into the studio to record “Swept Away” early last year, the group she assembled represented the progress of bluegrass music. Each of the five musicians there had been the first woman to win IBMA’s best of the year for their respective instruments — Alison Brown on banjo, fiddler Becky Butler, Sierra Hull on mandolin and guitarist Molly Tuttle. Raines herself had won seven times for her upright bass skills — a record.

The collective star power earned the group a name when they played out later that summer at the Rocky Grass Festival: The First Ladies of Bluegrass. At the 2018 IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) awards show, their cover of the Laurie Lewis song won for Recorded Event of the Year.

The song is also the centerpiece of Raines’ new album, Royal Traveller.

A tour to support the release finds Raines in Nashua on Oct. 20; her trio includes Ben Garnett on guitar, with George Jackson paying fiddle and banjo.

It’s a departure from the more adventurous direction taken in the recent past with her band The New Hip, which included drums, guitar and other elements not commonly associated with bluegrass.

“It’s a solo album, in that it’s me featured with lots of different guests,” Raines said by phone from her home in Nashville. “It features a lot more traditional bluegrass roots music ... but it also features a little bit of the same vibe from my last record, because it’s part of what I am.”

The list of guest artists is impressive.

Amy Ray of Indigo Girls sings harmony on “Free World” and Steel Wheels front man Trent Wagler shares lead vocals on the rollicking Robbie Fulks gem, “Goodby Virginia.” Also contributing are Tim O’Brien, Dan Dugmore and David Benedict — the latter from young New England bluegrass powerhouse Mile Twelve.

Brown produced and played; she also runs Compass Records, Raines’ label.

Being a woman in the genre has changed a lot since she started out.

“It’s been very important to me to see the walls get knocked down, and they have,” she said. “I now know all of these women who are bandmakers and I have this camaraderie with them. ... That’s one of the things that makes the First Ladies of Bluegrass so special — that fellow-

ship that we share. Twenty years ago, I wouldn’t have had that.”

The “Swept Away” session wasn’t a calculated move.

“The timing is perfect, but we didn’t really go at this with that in mind,” Raines said. “We’re just women doing what we do [and] Alison … had the idea we could bring together that group of women.”

Tuttle had been nominated as best guitarist when the song was recorded but didn’t get her prize until six weeks later.

“Once she won, we knew we were all the first women,” Raines said. “We basically looked at each other and smiled.

Can’t do much better than that.”

Raines’ chosen instrument is unique for any bandleader, but it’s something she’s has adjusted to.

“It’s really challenging in ways I never would have dreamed,” the veteran session player said. “People say bass players drive the band, [but] when it comes to harmonization, the guitar often sets the tone for me, or at least an instrument with more strings.”

Raines said she always makes sure she has a great guitarist in her group.

“I can drive the groove, but I can’t create a lot of the harmonizations one needs like mandolin,” she said. “It became obvious to me why guitar is so incredibly important, and why so many guitar players lead bands.”

All of this begs the question – of all instruments, why the bass?

“I was playing piano and guitar,” Raines said. “But my father brought home a bass and it was in the house. …

He wasn’t professional or anything, and I didn’t even know he knew how to play it.

Nothing more fantastic than the fact that it was there and I started playing it. I was able to transfer a lot of the guitar knowledge that I had already into the bass, and I just fell in love with it.”

Officials in Midway, Arkansas, still don’t know what caused flames to shoot out of a hole in the ground on Sept.

17. Volunteer fire chief Donald Tucker was summoned to private property at the edge of town where the flames were shooting up to 12 feet high, reported the Springfield News-Leader. Tucker inspected the site after the fire subsided and said the 2-foot-diameter hole was about 3 feet deep and made a 45-degree turn at the bottom. “I took a temperature reading of it and it showed 780 degrees inside the hole,” he said, but he couldn’t identify the source of the flames. There are no gas lines nearby, and there was no smell of gas before or during the fire. He also ruled out a meteor strike or flaming space junk. Geologists from the Arkansas Geological Survey inspected the hole and concluded it had been dug by an animal, but they took soil samples for testing. County judge Mickey Pendergrass said Satan had also been ruled out.

If you’re over 12 years old in certain parts of Virginia, you’d better hustle up your own fun for Halloween night. In several communities surrounding Chesapeake and Newport News, KUTV reported, city codes make it a misdemeanor for anyone over 12 to wear a costume and troll the neighborhood for candy. Penalties include fines ($25 to $100) and up to six months in jail. Even lawful trick-or-treaters must be done by 8 p.m., and in Newport News, parents accompanying children may not wear masks.

but instead she found just one item in her mailbox: a laminated picture of a llama wearing sunglasses. Tinney’s surveillance video showed “a woman was hanging out of the passenger’s side of (a black pickup) truck ... removing things from my mailbox, and looked like she was putting something inside my mailbox,” Tinney said. WCHS reported other neighbors also were missing mail and packages that day. Tinney told reporters the mail thieves claimed to be “handing out wedding invitations,” but she was dubious: “We don’t know anybody who knows a llama personally.” Charleston police are investigating.

Least competent criminal

A Springfield, Missouri, man took to Facebook in July to proudly demonstrate how to remove an ankle monitor.

Dustin W. Burns, 33, had pleaded guilty earlier this year to violating a restraining order and was placed on probation.

Authorities believe it is Burns using a butter knife and a screwdriver in the video, saying, “This is how you take an ankle bracelet off without breaking the circuit,” according to the Springfield News-Leader. The narrator advises against damaging the electronic equipment so as to avoid thousands of dollars in fines. Subsequent Facebook posts reference trips to Utah, Idaho and Oregon, and a video shows a man resembling Burns walking through a large marijuana farm with the caption “Dream come true.” He has been in the Greene County jail since Aug. 28 and was charged in early October with tampering with electronic monitoring equipment, a felony.
