Looking for some election information but scared to look for anything political on Twitter or, God forbid, Facebook? Hippo conducted Q&As with the major party candidates in several races over the past several issues.

Find interviews with incumbent Governor Chris Sununu, Republican, and Democratic challenger Molly Kelly in the Sept. 27 issue. Candidates for U.S. House of Representatives, District 1, Republican Eddie Edwards and Democrat Chris Pappas answer questions in the Oct. 4 issue.

Find interviews with District 2 incumbent Congresswoman Annie Kuster, Democrat, and Republican challenger Steve Negron in the Oct. 11 issue. In the Oct. 18 issue, we talked to candidates for the Executive Council for districts 2 through 5 (the districts that cover southern New Hampshire).

In addition to asking these candidates about the serious issues facing the offices for which they are running, we also asked them to weigh in on that most important question: what is the best ice cream flavor. (The most creative answer may have come from Executive Council District 4 candidate Ted Gatsas, who threw his support behind “coffee with pineapple topping.” I must admit, I’m going to try it. How could you not?)

Find all of these Q&As by going to hippopress.com and clicking on “Read the Entire Paper: See Our Flip Book on Issuu,” where you’ll find complete issues that can be read on any device. The Q&As all start on page 6 of their respective issues.

In last week’s Hippo (Oct. 25), you can find a box on page 7 that will give you the basics on registering to vote (which, in New Hampshire, you can do on the day of the election).

Not voting remains a popular option for folks who don’t see any of the candidates as a good choice. Congressional candidate Eddie Edwards says that he chose not to vote over the years because he didn’t like his options. While some have called his non-voting disqualifying to hold office, not voting isn’t disqualifying; it’s a choice. However, it is fair to choose not to vote for him for making that decision.

I’ve always been of the opinion that a vote for the least bad candidate is always a better option than letting others make the decision for you. Voting, like many important decisions, is a choice of the least bad option. Sometimes, that’s what being an adult is all about.

NEWS & NOTES

The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration published its annual report, showing that the department collected $2.3 billion in taxes during FY 2018. The report includes an overview of the department’s operational initiatives, data regarding collected taxes and updates on municipal finance and assessing laws. The majority of the taxes collected this past fiscal year were directed toward the state’s General Fund and Education Trust Fund. The report also outlined the final stage of the department’s four-year process of phasing in an electronic filing and payment system for most business tax and interest and dividends returns. The department is also preparing for a complete backend technology system launch, called the Revenue Information Management System. The new infrastructure will house and consolidate taxpayer data with direct accessibility for taxpayers, practitioners and department staff. The report said that this electronic shift is intended to “dedicate more resources to general support and streamline internal workflows.” During the March and April “rush period” of the 2018 tax season, the number of tax documents processed by the department increased by 7 percent compared to last year.

A record 70 young bald eagles reached fledging age in the Granite State this summer, according to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. Bald eagles returned to New Hampshire in 1988, and over the past 30 years, 497 bald eagle chicks have fledged from nests across the state, including 129 in the past two breeding seasons alone. Eagle chicks are considered “fledged” at 11 to 12 weeks of age, when they begin flying to and from their nest.

Other highlights in the 2018 season include the first recorded productive re-nesting by bald eagles in the state, as well as the discovery of six new breeding territories.

Supporting youth

Drug treatment option opens in Manchester

By Scott Murphy

smurphy@hippopress.com

Starting this month, an adjoining part of the Sununu Youth Services Center in Manchester will start offering residential treatment for kids and teens struggling with substance use disorder.

The 36-bed facility will be open to youth ages 12 to 18 from anywhere in New Hampshire.

The plan for a treatment facility at the corrections center was approved in 2016 after the state legislature passed HB 517, according to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. The bill allowed the agency to retrofit an existing wing at the center to house the facility.

In July, Gov. Chris Sununu announced that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approved New Hampshire’s waiver request to expand access to substance use disorder treatment. The state will now receive federal funds to provide treatment for residents who are Medicaid-eligible and are receiving care in an Institution for Mental Disease.

Granite Pathways in Concord will provide services at the facility and bill Medicaid, insurers and other third parties so that young people will have access to treatment. In his announcement, Sununu emphasized that this care will be available “as long as is medically necessary.”

“The days of 24-day programs are gone,” Erica Ungarelli, director of the New Hampshire Bureau of Children’s Behavioral Health. “It’s all individualized. Each person works through their treatment plan at their own pace.”

Positive change

While the building will house both detention and treatment operations, these functions will not overlap. The treatment facility has a separate entrance, and staff members will coordinate meals and laundry to ensure youth inmates and patients don’t interact. Ungarelli said retrofitting a building already equipped to house young people in a secure setting presents significant cost savings.

This separate entrance is also where staff at the facility will assess potential patients, which will be done based on standards set by the American Society of Addiction Medicine. Not only will this help staff establish an appropriate treatment plan, Ungarelli said, this process is also meant to determine if the facility fits their specific needs.

“We don’t want kids to be here if they don’t need this level of care, whether they need something more intense or less intense,” said Ungarelli. “If they need something less intense, then we want them to remain in their own community.”

After intake, patients will be assigned to one of the facility’s 36 beds based on their age and 122783

level of treatment need. A common area, dining room and office space are available on each of the facility’s three floors. There’s also a multi-purpose room that will be used for group meetings and other activities.

Other than group movie nights, Ungarelli said, patients won’t have access to personal electronics and will instead participate in more constructive group activities. She said the goal is to limit screen time and help them focus on “more appropriate uses of their time” and to “work and interact [with others] in more positive ways.”

Smooth transition

Program staff will also work with patients’ families to incorporate them into the recovery process, so they can be supportive after they’re discharged. While there won’t be an onsite school, Ungarelli said parents and school districts will work with patients to ensure they stay up to date, potentially with online coursework.

She said staff members will be able to provide assistance, and the program is looking into recruiting volunteer tutors.

Perhaps the most significant part of patients’ recovery process is their transition back into their home communities. That’s where the state’s new “hub and spoke” model will prove crucial, according to Ungarelli. The network will connect local treatment centers with doctors to better support patients, with treatment hubs located in Berlin, Concord, Dover, Hanover, Keene, Laconia, Littleton, Manchester and Nashua. These health care providers will receive about $9 million annually and will be supported by a 24/7 hotline that directs residents to treatment.

Ungarelli said that the goal of the program is to ensure patients have access to care “within an hour of where they live.” She added that a key part of a successful recovery process is making sure patients don’t experience lapses in the care that they need.

“Granite Pathways is going to work with hubs on a clear discharge plan that ensures community-based care,” said Ungarelli. “We don’t want gaps [in care] between the time of discharge and when they’re back home.”

As of right now, Ungarelli said there are no rosters of kids awaiting treatment, and there’s usually a slow ramp up to these types of programs. She anticipated that referrals would start coming in after the option is more widely known, particularly because this type of youth residential treatment option wasn’t previously available in New Hampshire. Previously, she said, young people struggling with substance use disorder had to seek residential treatment elsewhere in New England.

Granite Pathways expected to begin offering treatment services at the facility by the first week of November.

Specs on the Rex

Renovations planned for Manchester theater

By Scott Murphy

smurphy@hippopress.com

Tucked away on a side street in downtown Manchester, the former Rex Theater has stood empty for several years. A group of business people and city leaders is working to change that with a $1.7 million renovation project aimed at creating a new entertainment spot in the heart of the Queen City.

The Rex sits at 23 Amherst St. off Elm Street, just a three-minute walk from the Palace Theatre at 80 Hanover St. A key player in the planned development is the Palace’s president and CEO, Peter Ramsey. He said the Rex is believed to be about 85 years old and was previously a 300-seat movie house under several different names.

However, the Rex’s recent history has been tumultuous. Ramsey said the theater changed hands numerous times and hosted different night clubs, which brought with them issues with fights and crime. Eventually, the city stepped in to attempt to find a way to salvage the property.

“The city, through the Manchester Development Corporation, bought [the Rex], and for the last five years has been trying to sell it or figure out a way to make it productive,” Ramsey said. “That just hasn’t happened.”

Making it happen

Within the last year, Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig said, there were two proposals that suggested the Rex could be renovated into a prime venue for concerts, shows and community events. While these proposals ended up falling through, the initial conversations put the theater on her radar.

“It’s in this prime location downtown, but it’s completely underutilized right now,” Craig said. “To bring it back to life is important to me. … It’s an important building for the city to ensure that we have a best and highest use there.”

About two weeks after Craig was elected, Ramsey said, she approached him about the Palace and the city potentially working together to reopen the Rex. After months of discussion and planning, the Manchester Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted in late October to approve a $1.7 million loan from the Manchester Development Corporation to the Palace for redeveloping the Rex. Ramsey said the Palace is working with its contractor to assess the building and develop a final design plan. Construction is tentatively scheduled to start in January.

Ramsey envisions the Rex as a supplementary space to the types of productions the Palace offers. As a nonprofit, he said, the Palace has to sell anywhere from 300 to 600 tickets a weekend and raise about $300,000

to $400,000 to pay its bills. That limits the entertainment options the Palace can afford to pursue.

“It’s very difficult to take a weekend and do something artistic that we know won’t sell seats,” said Ramsey. “The Rex Theater is designed as a multi-use venue, where we can do all sort of different things.”

That might include weddings, corporate events, city meetings and community movies, along with more niche artistic performances that are better suited for a venue the Rex’s size. Booking will be overseen by the Palace’s staff, and Ramsey predicts the venue will attract about 50,000 people a year for nightly events.

Arts, culture and diversity

Ramsey admitted that the Rex likely won’t turn a profit, but he said the Palace is ready to absorb the costs and is “confident” they’ll be able to pay back the $1.7 million loan. In his eyes, the Rex provides an opportunity to book different types of entertainment for a wider audience in the Manchester community.

“The key to it is we focus on the broad spectrum of people who live in Manchester, both ethnically and age-wise,” Ramsey said. “This is the sort of venue where we can do that, and we’ve never been able to do it before. We kind of have to focus on who goes to the theater rather than creating entertainment for people who maybe don’t want to go see West Side Story.”

Craig added that the Rex’s value to the community is “tremendous” because of the number of people it could draw to Manchester by expanding the city’s entertainment offerings. Specifically, she said, it’s a good way to attract young people by developing a well-rounded array of downtown options.

“We want to make sure Manchester is the destination for people to come in New Hampshire, and it is,” Craig said. “The more that we can grow those opportunities, the better. Our arts and culture here in the city is tremendous, and it’s growing.”

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Fiscal health

The Mercatus Center at George Mason University ranked New Hampshire 12th on its annual State Fiscal Rankings. The study analyzes the nation’s fiscal health, including each state’s cash flow, budget, long-term liabilities and trust fund. The center estimated that New Hampshire has up to 2.82 times the cash needed to cover short-term obligations, and found that revenues exceed expenses by 4 percent. Additionally, the state’s longterm liabilities are lower than the national average.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Not only was New Hampshire the only state in New England to earn an “above average” designation, but every other state in the region ranked either “below average” or in the bottom five. Massachusetts (47) and Connecticut (49) have the worst fiscal health in the region, while Maine (34), Vermont (39) and Rhode Island (40) have significant financial concerns as well.

Bridge improvements?

New Hampshire’s bridge infrastructure is improving but still has room for further investment, according to a recent report from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association. Between 2016 and 2017, the number of structurally deficient bridges in New Hampshire dropped 11.2 percent, from 304 to 270 bridges. However, 10.9 percent of the state’s bridges were structurally deficient in 2017, the 13th highest in the nation.

QOL Score: 0 Comment: Nearly a quarter (23.3 percent) of Rhode Island’s bridges are structurally deficient, topping the list for the nation. Maine was a bit farther ahead of New Hampshire in this category at 13.3 percent, while Massachusetts (9.3 percent), Connecticut (7.8 percent) and Vermont (5.3 percent) had safer bridges overall.

Dental hygiene

The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services received a five-year, $1.85 million grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to support oral health efforts in the Granite State, according to a news release. The money will primarily be used to fund dental treatment programs for school children, optimize fluoride in community water systems and improve the state’s oral health reporting system.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: According to the department, tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease. Between 2001 to 2014, state-funded dental programs in New Hampshire schools helped increase the percentage of third-graders with sealants by 15 percent and decrease the number of students with untreated dental decay by 14 percent.

Uninsured rate

Between 2013 and 2017, New Hampshire’s uninsured rate decreased from 10.7 to 5.8 percent, according to the New Hampshire Insurance Department’s preliminary 2017 Health Care Premium and Claim Cost Drivers Report.

New Hampshire rate has remained lower than the national average over this timeframe, as the U.S. uninsured rate fell from 14.5 to 8.7 percent. The number of residents with private health insurance in New Hampshire has remained steady at 820,000 residents over the last couple years.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The report noted that the number of residents receiving coverage through Medicaid has increased by double digits: Over the past several years, Medicaid coverage has increased from 130,000 residents to 157,000 residents, or 12 percent of the state’s population.

Sox send Dodgers back to La-La land

123312

After winning a franchise record 108 games in the regular season and 11 more in 14 playoff games, the Boston Red Sox won their fourth World Series since the turn of the century on Sunday night. Doing so took the 21st-century Sox one step closer to matching what their ancestors did at the start of the 20th century by winning five times in its first 20 years. This was a dream season that fittingly ended where dream stories are often made, in Hollywood, over the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.

It was not the most climactic series ever, but it certainly had major moments, players who left their mark, memorable managerial decisions and plenty of drama.

So here is my summary of what will be talked about most when 2018 comes up in conversation years from now.

The Biggest Plays: (1) Mitch Moreland’s Game 4 Homer – it didn’t win it, take the lead or even tie it, but they were teetering after the epic Game 3 and six innings of Rich Hill’s one-hit baseball and it gave them a jolt they badly needed as they scored nine times the last three innings. (2) Steve Pearce’s bases-loaded ninth-inning double that put Game 4 away. (3) Eduardo Nunez’s pinch hit homer into the Monster seats to ice Game 1.

David Price: My advice to The Nation is to have humility as you bandwagon jump to praise what he did after exorcising his playoff demons. Have the honesty to say, ‘I hated the guy,’ before you start drooling. With his confidence in tatters before his first Houston start, I started rooting for him after the arrogant defiance disappeared. He needed a pick-up and Alex Cora gave him that by sticking with him to start Game 2 amid a near media and Red

Sox Nation revolt. From that point on he delivered in any way asked and on short rest.

Nathan Eovaldi: As the post-season’s best pitcher, ironically his finest hour came as the losing pitcher in the epic 18-inning Game 3 a day before he was to start Game 4. That Cora led a teamwide standing O for him after the deflating loss tells you all you need to know about how tight-knit this group is and what Eovaldi’s 97-pitch effort on no notice meant to them.

Joe Kelly: Who saw eight innings, one earned run, no walks and 13 strikeouts coming? Not me. But as Sidra likes to say, those innings were real and they were spectacular.

Steve Pearce: In Patriot-like fashion he just did his job to save at least one game and several outs defensively in the ALDS, being a tough out as the next man up against righties when Moreland went down and the biggest bat in the Series.

Dave Roberts: I don’t believe for a second he went out to “hear” what Rich Hill had to say before lifting him in Game 4 with a one-hitter in progress. After all, two years earlier he lifted Hill while pitching a perfect game for a “blister issue” that Hill said wasn’t true. I know what I said – “phewwww!” He’s under the spell of the pitch count and analytics crowd, which makes his managing robotic and predictable in ways that directly cost L.A. losses in Games 1, 2 and 4. It was the worst managerial performance in any World Series I’ve ever seen.

The Analytics Update: The best line by a columnist after the first Gulf War came from Boston Globe Columnist Bella English when she wrote after the U.S.-led coalition crushed Iraq’s so-called “Elite National Guard,” “I guess we won’t be seeing ‘elite’ and national guard put together in a sentence any time soon.” I’ll adapt that here to say, after the horrendous Series Roberts had, we won’t be seeing

the words “advanced” and “analytics” put together anytime soon.

Alex Cora: After the Yanks beat Brooklyn in 1949 Casey Stengel famously said, “I couldn’t have done it without my players.” That would be true for Cora as well.

But if the “P” in MVP is for person and not player he was the Sox’ real MVP. He had the Midas touch on moves. He always had a plan, even when Eovaldi to save Game 3 backfired forcing him to go six-plus innings to save the staff. His use of the staff was beyond outside the box and vital in winning all three series. I hesitate to say this, because I hate homer-ism and people who get carried away in the moment to say ‘he’s the best ever.’ But no one in my time watching baseball had a better year in the dugout than Cora in 2018.

Vindication: I have railed about two things since I got this column: (1) that pitchers are not made out of tissue paper as they are treated today and (2) that analytics aren’t nearly as vital to decision-making as their pompous proponents trumpet them to be. By masterfully manipulating his pitching in ways others would never consider, Alex Cora showed 21st-century starting pitchers have far greater endurance and toughness than most in baseball believe. And while Roberts incredibly left 110 homers on the bench to have a statsfavored all righty line-up face Chris Sale and Price in Games 1 and 2, Cora listened to his inner James Carville say it’s the players, stupid, so play them. He used the numbers as a part of his overall decisionmaking process and went against them when the moment said to. Like Series MVP Steve Pearce batting against righthanders he rarely saw in the regular season to get major hits because the gut said let this dude hit.

Finally, I hate to gush, but WOW, what a season!

Casey Stengel and the Players: Casey’s first year in NYC was 1949 when the Yanks won the first of a record five straight World Series. Saying he couldn’t have done it without his players seemed Casey just being Casey, but a manager taking that much credit did not sit well with his star Joe DiMaggio. Probably because Casey did not treat Joe as if he was a god like everyone else in NYC did since the iconic star arrived in 1936 to begin winning a most-ever 10 world titles in pinstripes, a figure later tied, ironically, by Casey’s favorite player, Yogi Berra.

Find your creative side with projects and events for adults and kids Arts and crafts projects can be fun for all ages and abilities, whether you’ve never picked up a paint brush or you want to relive the Intro to Drawing class you took to meet that art prerequisite in school. Check out tips from local artisans to get started on the best projects for your abilities, plus find out where to go to learn more.

Pottery Whether you use a pottery wheel or build free-form by hand, working with clay is a fun and relaxing way to create art with a purpose, said Monica Leap, programs director at Studio 550 in Manchester.

“It’s not the kind of art that’s going to end up hiding in a stack of papers,” she said.

“You can make some really great things, and things that you can actually use, that have a function.”

It can take some practice, especially if you’re using a pottery wheel, but the benefit of clay as a medium, Leap said, is that it’s malleable and forgiving.

“You can make something, and if you don’t like it, you can rework it, or mash it up and recycle it and try again,” she said.

Kids: It may be difficult for kids to use a pottery wheel until they reach a certain body size, but they can start by creating with clay by hand. A popular kids’ project at Studio 550 is the monster pot, Leap said.

“We start off with a pinch pot, which is where you start with a ball and make a hole in it and start forming a bowl shape,” she said. “Then, you can add a head, horns, feet, arms, tentacles and whatever textures you want, and turn it into a crazy creature.”

Finish with a colored glaze or paint the pot with acrylic paint.

Beginner: If you’re using a pottery wheel for the first time, you’ll probably need to practice with it for a while before you can create something useable.

“It sounds boring, but you have to focus on the process and work up from there,” she said. “One way to learn is to play around with it. Push it this way and that way to see what kind of shapes come from that.”

Once you get a feel for the wheel, try making something simple, like a cup or a bowl.

You can add embellishments once it’s off the wheel, like sticking other pieces of clay onto it by hand, carving designs into it and giving it a colored glaze.

HIPPO | NOVEMBER 1 - 7, 2018 | PAGE 12

Advanced: Once you’ve mastered using the pottery wheel, you can start experimenting with different sizes and shapes and creating things beyond just cups and bowls.

Give yourself a set challenge, Leap said, like creating the tallest piece you can out of a one-pound ball.

“That way you’re continuing to work on your technical skills, but you’re playing around with different shapes and doing something different and fun,” she said.

If you’re tired of cups and bowls, you can also try making pieces with a specific function.

“You could make a cheese plate or a sushi dish or an ice cream bowl — something that isn’t just a generic cup or bowl,” she said. — Angie Sykeny

Jewelry In the craft of jewelry making, the creative possibilities are endless, said Deb Fairchild, League of New Hampshire Craftsmen member and jewelry making instructor.

“There are a million different styles and colors and materials you can use, and that seems to bring out the creativity in people,” she said. “It’s a chance to really show their self-expression in the form of something they can wear.”

Beads come in all forms: glass, wood,

plastic, metal or even found objects. Whether you buy your beads and pendants or make your own, the vast customization options ensure that your piece of jewelry will be one-of-a-kind.

Kids: Kids can have a lot of fun with a simple stringing project, Fairchild said. A necklace or a bracelet is the best thing to start with. They can pick out their beads at a bead or craft store, or make their own out of clay, felt or found objects.

“A good project for the older kids is wire wrapping rocks or shells or sea glass,” she said. “With wire wrapping they can turn anything that doesn’t have a hole into a pendant.”

Fairchild recommends a slipknot for the closure so that the bracelet or necklace can be slipped over the hand or head and tightened or loosened as desired.

“It’s really easy to do, and inexpensive,” she said. “You don’t have to worry about assembling a million parts for a clasp.”

Beginner: If you’re new to jewelry making but want to make a piece that looks sophisticated, Fairchild said, try a simple bead weaving technique. There are looms you can use, or you can do it with a needle and thread. One of the most basic designs is the spiral rope.

“You start with a core of beads, then build little loops around the core, and each time you add a loop, it continues to grow in length and creates this wavy, spiraly kind of look,” she said. “It’s a great project for people who are just beginning to feel successful and get excited about jewelry making.”

Advanced: Once you’ve learned all of the basic beadwork techniques, you can start doing freeform, which Fairchild said is like the “abstract painting” of jewelry making.

“It requires a different way of thinking about beading,” she said. “You take a technique that you’ve learned, and you explore with it and push it to its full potential.”

A freeform piece may incorporate a number of different techniques, styles, shapes, colors and materials and usually doesn’t

have an identifiable pattern.

“Every stitch is different. You could never make a copy of the piece,” Fairchild said.

“It’s grounded in technique, but you work off of total self-expression.” — Angie Sykeny

Painting Several painting studios and paint bars across the state offer group classes for kids and for adults that teach basic color mixing and paintbrush handling to create a picture on a canvas — with an emphasis on the social interaction among the painters and their instructors.

“Everything that we do is geared toward anybody who has no previous art experience,” said Linda Lagana, owner of Graffiti Paintbar in Nashua. “People just really have more fun painting in a social environment and having that camaraderie.”

Kids: At the Canvas Roadshow in Bedford, owner Debbie Ellis said painting classes for kids ages 6 and up are offered every Wednesday from 4 to 5:15 p.m., and Saturday from 9 to 10:15 a.m. The studio started offering specific classes for kids following the popularity of the three-hour Camp Creative program, in which kids focus on a painting of their choice.

Classes are available either as six-week sessions, or at one drop-in rate for one class.

“We work with … helping them explore and create with simple steps and ideas and

options,” Ellis said. “All of our teachers are certified educators and [the classes] are super fun and laid back.”

A popular project for kids is polymer clay painting, in which they can make simple shapes or small animals like dogs or cats that are then baked in the oven until solid.

You can also make unique art by gathering handfuls of leaves from outside, putting a thin layer of acrylic paint on them, and using them as a stamp on paper, and a sponge to design with different colors.

“It’s fun to see all of the personalities shine through when painting,” Ellis said.

Beginner: The biggest challenge for beginners, Ellis said, is learning how to mix the right colors for creating their canvas paintings. Simple projects using a few colors — like a beach sunset or a garden of flowers — can be implemented.

“Even adults can get nervous when it comes to creativity, so we can scale it down a little bit and we might walk around and look at everyone’s painting and help them out where needed,” Ellis said.

The Canvas Roadshow also partners with LaBelle Winery for wine glass and bottle painting, offering simple projects for painters to get used to the colors they are mixing like lights to make night lights, or sponges as a texture on the bottles for abstract designs.

Advanced: For more experienced painters, instructors help students with a variety of DIY projects like seaglass watercolor painting, and “canvas pillow” painting, in which students paint a unique design on pillowcases.

Another fun project involves a “paint your pet” faux pumpkin design, an event Ellis said she has offered in the past that was popular. Faux pumpkins can be purchased at craft stores like Michael’s. The project requires at least a basic skill of drawing.

“Sketch the pet in advance with pencil, and then work on filling the pet in, eyes first, then work your way out,” she said. “If you make it more like a cartoon than an exact image, you can really have fun with the colors.”

Drawing Even if you don’t think you can draw well, you can master the technique with an understanding and appreciation of a few fundamental steps.

“Anybody can draw as long as you learn how to draw what you see and not what you think you see,” said Tami Sciola, a drawing instructor for several New Hampshire studios like Creative Ventures Art Gallery in Milford and Wild Salamander Creative Arts Center in Hollis. “It’s always in breaking everything down into basic shapes and shadows.”

Kids: Sciola, who teaches drawing both for kids and for adults with an emphasis on the use of a graphite pencil, said the best approach for beginners in all age groups is to start with basic shapes.

Kids can start with drawing something simple and round, like an apple or an orange.

Or, a great project idea for kids that will help them gain understanding of the basic concepts of shapes is drawing a self-portrait, with the use of a mirror.

“You might see something like an apple … as a round, red fruit, but then when you really look at it you notice a lot of bumps and a lot of lights and darks,” she said. “So it’s important to really observe those shapes and lines.”

Beginner: These same basic principles can be applied to beginner or first-time adult drawing students, Sciola said, but she often takes it a step further by having them take on bigger projects like replicating the work of famous artists like Michelangelo.

“Most adults are familiar with these artists anyway, and they love it, so that’s something that I do with adults that I don’t do much with children,” she said.

A stencil is also an effective tool when learning how to draw, and it’s what beginners often use in wood sign workshops in creating labels and images.

Advanced: For adults who have attended more of her classes and have the basic drawing skills under their belts, Sciola introduces more intricate techniques, like portraitures.

“The human face and head can be broken up into specific proportions … and there are all kinds of certain rules about placement and where the facial features line up,” she said. “It’s also different when you’re drawing a portrait of a child versus an adult.”

There are also rules of proportion that apply for figure drawing, another project typically reserved for intermediate and advanced drawers. Sciola said she demonstrates a concept called foreshortening, which is a way to create depth and the illusion of a three-dimensional figure.

Quilting & Sewing

For a cozy craft perfect for winter, fire up the sewing machine and try your hand at a quilting or sewing project. There are a variety of fabrics and materials on the market for any size project, whether you’re looking to make a table runner, a wall hanging or a classic quilt to curl up with on the couch.

“Someone asked me once, ‘Why do you take perfectly good fabric, chop it up and sew it back together again?’” said Karen Derie, co-owner of The Bunkhouse Quilt Shop in Lyndeborough. “It’s just a beautiful art form, and people enjoy them as gifts.”

Derie and her husband Jim Milliken both started sewing as kids and eventually latched onto quilting as a hobby. For Milliken, one of the best parts of running the shop is helping people plan and put their own spin on the quilts they sew.

“People come in and say ‘I have to get this’ or ‘I have to do this,’ but you can do whatever you want,” said Milliken. “There’s no rule that says you have to use this fabric for this piece of a quilt. … Do what you think is the right way to do it and have fun with it.”

Kids: To pin down the basics of sewing, Derie recommended a simple hand-sewing project to make a basic napkin.

“With the holidays coming, it’s nice to make a special effort when setting the table,” said Derie. “They also make nice hostess gifts when travelling to see friends and family.”

To make these simple napkins, cut two pieces of fabric 18 inches square, align with right sides together and sew a ¼-inch seam around the edge, leaving an opening to turn them right side out. Close the opening by hand or top stitch around the edge with a ⅛-inch seam.

Beginner: A simple quilting project to practice nesting seams, or aligning the seams of each row of fabric to ensure they fit together, is making a potholder. Derie said this project can also be used as a trivet for hot dishes or a rug for hot cups and soup bowls.

Materials: •2.5” squares of fabric, 36 pieces •Insulated lining (we use Insul-Brite)

•Coordinating thread •Scissors •Hand sewing needle •Sewing machine •Iron Derie’s instructions: Precut fabrics of 2.5-inch squares are great for a beginner quilter. Packaged precuts are made from one fabric line, so they all match and you save time not having to cut before you start sewing. Lay out the squares in a pleasing array of colors six across and six down. Sew the pieces in each row together with a “scant” ¼-inch seam, which is just less than ¼ inch. According to Milliken, this accounts for the fact that “past the stitch, you’re actually going to have a little bit more fabric that’s consumed in the process of opening [the fabric] up, which then makes it a perfect quarter seam.”

Press the seams in row 1 to the right. Repeat the process for all the rows pressing the seams in the opposite direction from the row before.

Repeat the process for the remaining rows alternating the direction you press the seams.

Sew the rows right sides together (“pretty side” touching), nesting the seams to keep your points sharp and your project flat. To nest a seam, one seam should be pressed in one direction and the opposing seam in the opposite direction, giving you the ability to sew the seams directly against each other.

Layer your pieced top with a layer of insulated lining and back it with a coordinating piece of fabric the same size as your pieced top in the following manner: Insulated lining with backing pretty side up; pieced top pretty side down.

Pin all three layers together and sew around the edge with a 1/4-inch seam, leaving an opening to turn your project right side out that your hand will fit through. Once it’s turned right side out, paying attention to the corners that they are pushed out, press the entire project, folding in the flaps at the opening.

Now hand stitch the opening closed. Top stitch around the perimeter to obtain the look of a bound edge.

Advanced: For a slightly more advanced project, Derie recommended aspiring quilters try their hands at a table runner. To start, she said, she sends students into the store to pick out four “fat quarters” of fabric, or a quarter of a yard.

Students pick fabrics with different light, medium and dark color values that complement one another. Then, Derie teaches them about the difference between “pressing” and “ironing” to even out the fabric for sewing.

“Pressing is putting the iron down [on the fabric], ironing is [like] ironing your shirt,” said Derie. “If you do ironing when you’re piecing, you’re going to skew the fabric.”

After students press their fabric, they use a rotary cutter and ruler to make 2 ½ inch cuts in their fabric. When it comes to tool safety and proper measurements, Derie said “This

simple project teaches them habit.”

From there, students will lay out and sew their table runner with a nested seam technique. Derie said one piece of fabric will be pressed in one direction alongside the other in the opposite direction, intertwining the patterns.

Sculpture

From play-dough creations to marble busts of Plato, sculpture is a fun, physical art form with plenty of possibilities for expression. Unlike 2D paintings and drawings, sculptures can take on a life of their own as they sit on display.

“It’s a very physical thing; that’s why I like sculpture,” said John Weidman, director of the Andres Institute of Art in Brookline.

“With every miniscule shift, the sculpture and its meaning changes; the light playing on it changes [it]; the snow falling on it changes [it].”

Weidman has been a sculptor and artist for over 40 years and co-founded the institute in 1998. The property includes 140 acres of trails with 80 unique sculptures of varying size and materials placed throughout the woods. For Weidman, that’s a testament to sculpture allowing artists to convey their message in a myriad of unique ways.

As he works on a piece, Weidman said, he aims to develop his own idea or a commissioned concept to make it “better understood as best one can.” However, the minute he places a finished sculpture in public, he knows he has to let it go.

“If someone sees my work … they take possession of it, because we see things in life based on our own experiences,” said Weidman. “To see someone interact with what I’ve done is a gift.”

Sculpture projects

Courtesy of Kimberly Kersey-Asbury, associate professor of fine arts at Saint Anselm College in Manchester Kids: For a homespun take on a modern art staple, let your kids try making a mixed-media sculpture. This craft can be easily done at home entirely with found objects around the house, such as unused containers, tchotchkes and art materials.

Kersey-Asbury included a “box art” unit in her Mixed Media class at Saint Anselm. Her students crafter their sculptures by “mostly using cigar boxes or old dresser drawers, found objects and imagination.”

Some of her students’ creations included a tiger figurine in a circus cage; a small wooden bear standing on leaves in front of postcards with forest prints; and an old shoe

with rolls of pages in its mouth.

Beginner: Hand sculpting with polymer clay or oil clay is “one of the most basic ways to construct with clay,” according to KerseyAsbury. Whatever figures you try to make, clay offers an open canvas of its own for sculptors of all ages to work with.

At her home studio in Dublin, KerseyAsbury works with students ranging from small children up to age 16. Projects always include a chance for “adding little flourishes” so students can put their own spin on their clay creations.

“If you’re not firing the clay and just playing, use wooden skewers to pose,” said Kersey-Asbury. “If you have access to a kiln, work solid with traditional clay, scooping and hollowing out the insides.”

Advanced: Bowls are the most common and practical “sculptures” in most people’s’ homes. Whatever method you choose to make your bowl, the result can be used to make something a bit more unique and challenging.

To start, Kersey-Asbury recommended hand-coiling, wheel-throwing or hand-pressing clay into a regular kitchen bowl shape.

For hand-coiling, take a long, snake-like piece of clay and layer it on top of itself in a circular motion. For wheel-throwing, use a pottery wheel to mold the clay as it spins.

“However you make your clay bowl, wait till it’s leather-hard (a little stiffer from drying),” said Kersey-Asbury. “Then score and slip it together with another bowl shape or two, and you have the makings of a head.”

After combining the bowls into a solid shape, Kersey-Asbury said the head and faces features are up to the artist’s personal touch.

ARTS Another door opens

Artisans invite the public to their studios for statewide tour

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Now in its 13th year, NH Open Doors, the statewide, self-guided tour takes place on Saturday, Nov. 3, and Sunday, Nov. 4, and will feature around 90 stops as artists, craftspeople and business owners open their doors to the public, offering tours, demonstrations, tastings and handmade items for sale.

You can find and print a full list of participating locations or search for locations by region and category at nhopendoors. com. The website also has suggested driving routes and itineraries to help you plan your trip.

“It’s a great time to drive around the state, to see the beauty of the fall foliage that is left at that time, and to see a really great cross section of all that New Hampshire has to offer as far as creative endeavors,” said Miriam Carter, executive director of the League of NH Craftsmen, which hosts the event.

Pottery, photography, fiber art, jewelry, woodwork, glasswork and sculpture are just some of the arts and crafts that will be featured on the tour.

One of this year’s Open Doors participants is stained glass artist and League member Donna Joyce of Kaleidoscope Glass and Art in Amherst.

Joyce has been doing art her whole life but found her niche with stained glass in 1992 after taking a class at community college.

“I like how, when you look at a sheet of glass initially, it can look cold and hard, but you can cut it into something beautiful that adds warmth and color and light to a room,” she said.

Joyce creates stained glass pieces for windows, doors and headstones; stained glass sun catchers and ornaments; and stained glass functional pieces like lamps, jewelry and keepsake boxes, candle votives and pocket mirrors, some of which she will have for sale at her studio during NH Open Doors. Visitors may also see Joyce working on her latest project.

“Handmade stained glass work is very labor intensive. It’s not just thrown together,” she said. “A lot of people don’t understand that and have no idea what’s involved, so I love getting to share that process with people and explain to them the whole technique and all the steps.”

Carter said the tour is a unique opportunity to visit the artists’ and craftspeople’s workspaces that aren’t typically open to the public.

To make the experience even more interactive, tourists can participate in the NH Open Doors Passport Contest. Download and print the Passport form from the event website and take it with you on the tour. If you get signatures from at least five Open Doors participants at different locations, you can turn the form in (mail, fax or scan and email it by Nov. 30) for a chance to win a 2018 League of NH Craftsmen Annual Ornament, tickets to the League of NH Craftsmen’s 2019 Annual Craftsmen’s Fair or a Supporting Membership to the League of NH Craftsmen.

Carter’s advice to tourists is to “make a plan, but be flexible.”

•​ Realism meets abstract: “Here and There: Contours Real and Imagined,” an exhibition featuring the work of New Hampshire Art Association artists Janet Tamulevich and Peggy Murray, is on display now through Dec. 28, at 2 Pillsbury St. in Concord. Tamulevich is an abstract painter. “As an artist, I look at the world in a different and more intimate way,” she said in a press release. “I see trees that are not green. They come in every shape, size and color. The sky is constantly changing, creating endless combinations of shapes and colors.” Murray is a realist painter who uses color to create light and dark planes.

“I think of the colors on my palette as the actors in a play,” she said in the press release. “Each color has a role to play, and every role, no matter how small, is important for creating a reality on the canvas.”

Viewing hours are Monday through Thursday from 5 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Friday from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Sunday from 7 to 11 a.m. Visit nhartassociation.org.

Like the Joad family in Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, countless squirrels are on the move. Heedless of traffic, they cross the road in search of new sources of food. Steelyeyed gardeners bear down on them, thinking revenge for the destruction of their crops, particularly tomatoes, apples and pumpkins.

Last year was a “mast” year, meaning that our oaks produced a huge crop of acorns. This fed our squirrels, allowing them to produce more babies. We also had good snow cover last winter, which meant that rodents could hide from owls and hawks.

Voles and mice are not often seen squished on the road, but other signs are evident to me: when I harvested my carrots and potatoes, for example, many had been chewed. And a grand influx of mice into homes has been reported this fall. What can you do to protect your plants and your harvest from all these rodents?

First, if you have fruit trees that are young, you should protect their trunks against rodent damage. Voles, those stocky, short-tailed mouse relatives are the worst culprits. They can reach sexual maturity in just five weeks after birth, so they can increase in numbers exponentially, given the right conditions. If hungry enough, they will chew the bark off young fruit trees, killing them by damaging the tender cambium layer all around a tree, girdling it.

To prevent that from happening, you can physically keep the voles away with finemesh screening called quarter-inch hardware cloth. It comes in 18- and 24-inch rolls, and I recommend the wider roll. A single layer of mesh screen around the base of the tree will keep the voles a bay. Remove the wire next spring to keep it from getting swallowed up by the bark as the tree grows (that would take a few years, but I’ve seen it happen).

Also available are plastic protectors. Some are tubes slit up the side, others are rolls of plastic to wrap around young trees to protect them from rodents. If your young tree has branches in its lower two feet of trunk, you will have to prune off those lower branches to fit the protectors. Mature trees have bark thick enough to deter the rodents.

A few words of warning: do not leave those plastic protectors in place forever. I’ve seen trees damaged by them when left on for a few years — the bark can rot, just as it will if buried in mulch.

As you get ready for winter, check the mulch you may have placed around trees to keep the grass from growing up around them.

“Volcanoes” of mulch around trees can be lethal. Mulch holds moisture and often harbors fungal pathogens that will destroy the bark on your trees. Instead of a volcano of

Squirrels need a crossing guard.

mulch, create a “doughnut” of mulch. Leave a few inches of free space around your trees.

While checking the mulch around your trees, also look for the trunk flare. At the ground level you should see trees widen and “flare out.”

In mature trees in the forest you will see what appear to be fat roots appear at the foot of the tree, roots that disappear into the soil.

If the flare in a tree you planted is covered with soil, it will damage the bark — and in six to 10 years it can kill the tree. You can save your trees from a slow death by pulling back the soil from the base of the tree, exposing the trunk flare.

Moles are commonly blamed for all kinds of atrocities, but they do not eat your plants. They are carnivores that eat grubs and earthworms. If you have a Japanese beetle problem, they will help you by eating the beetle grubs. But in winter or spring moles often cause problems by digging up soil and leaving mounds on the lawn. There are castor oil-based repellents that will discourage them.

I do not recommend poisoning them as pets and wildlife can be injured or killed.

Given the high squirrel population you may wonder if you should deport some before winter by trapping them with humane traps. Probably not, if you care about their well-being. According to what I have read, relocating rodents is not really humane. In a new location they are not likely to survive very long. They will either be eaten by predators or die of starvation.

As to the influx of mice in your house, there really is little you can do besides set traps — either humane ones, or snap traps. But if you store potatoes and carrots in a cool cellar, as I usually do, protect your food from mice and rats. The easiest way to do that is to store them in a second fridge. To keep them from drying out, put them in an open plastic bag with holes punched in it. Potatoes and carrots need to breathe in storage. Check them from time to time, and eat them up before they go bad.

We share this planet with our little rodent friends, and I do brake for squirrels. Still, I do all I can to keep them from sharing my harvest or eating my plants.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Top-notch mechanical service can be rewarded with a tip Dear Car Talk: Here’s a question you haven’t answered yet. I recently used a mobile mechanic — a guy who came to me

By Ray Magliozzi where my car was, rather than me bringing my car to him at his shop. How much of a tip should I give to a mobile mechanic?

— Mark Good question, Mark. I would say that, unlike a server at a restaurant, who gets paid 75 cents an hour and counts on tips to afford his or her daily gruel, tips for mechanics really are optional. They’re a “thank you” for particularly good service. So if you call a mobile mechanic, and he goes above and beyond what he has to do, that’s when you would say “thanks” with a tip.

For instance, if he arrives right away, is friendly, fixes your car in the rain, takes the time to give you some good advice about how to avoid problems in the future, charges a very fair price

and doesn’t break anything else or clean out the change in your cup holder, those all can be reasons to tip him.

I would not base it on a percentage of the bill, like you would at a restaurant.

Instead, I would offer something between $5 and $20, depending on just how grateful you feel. Giving a mechanic an extra $5 is a nice way to say, “Thank you for getting here on time and fixing the problem.” Giving a mechanic an extra $20 is an unmistakable way of saying, “Wow, this was great service, and I am very thankful for your extra effort.”

Of course, nothing beats a pan of fresh, warm brownies, but not everybody drives around with one of those just in case, Mark. That’s why the $20 bill was invented.

Dear Car Talk: I’ve never had any problems with my 2012 Hyundai Elantra, until now. It has a 1.8-liter engine, automatic transmission and 156,000 miles. At speeds between 35 and 45 mph, it sometimes will hesitate and clunk. I installed new spark plugs and had a motor mount replaced. Also, the idle is running real-

ly high. And there’s a growl under the hood. My mileage has gone from 33.5 mpg to under 20. I changed out the catalytic converter, replaced the serpentine belt, and cleaned the throttle body. Nothing has helped. Is the timing too rich? The check engine light is not on, and I don’t have any fault codes stored in the computer. Any ideas?

— Bill This sounds like a real sweetheart, Bill. The most interesting clue you gave me is that the idle is running high.

There’s actually no way to adjust the idle on modern cars, like you could by turning a screw on your father’s Chevy. It’s all computer-controlled now. So if the idle is consistently high, that means something’s wrong. The fact that the check engine light has not come on tells me it’s not likely to be an engine sensor, or anything in the computerized engine management system.

So it’s got to be something that’s fooling the computer into thinking you’re stepping on the gas.

And while it could be a vacuum leak, my first guess would be a bad injector or two. Or four. If one or more of your injectors were sending too much

gasoline into the cylinders, that could explain everything. W ith extra gasoline in the mixture, the downstream oxygen sensor would tell the computer to send in more air, to protect the catalytic converter from being damaged. That would boost up your idle, lower your mileage and — wait for it — cause the engine to stumble or hesitate sometimes.

When a cylinder is flooded with too much fuel, that extra fuel can extinguish the spark. That creates an engine misfire, and causes that hesitation you feel. So you’ll need to take this car into a mechanic and ask him to look at your injectors.

As for the growling noise, I’d look for a missing neighborhood dog, Bill.

Whatever’s causing the growling (and it could be something like a bad water pump, idler pulley or alternator), I suspect it’s unrelated to the other issues.

Replacing injectors is not going to be cheap. But neither is filling up twice as often, and joining the Catalytic Converter of the Month club. So figure it out, and get it fixed.

Anthony Salerno Security Services Provider

Anthony Salerno is the founder of Salerno Protective Services in Manchester.

The company offers bodyguard and other security services.

Can you explain what your current job is?

I am the owner and CEO of the company. My company offers a wide variety of protection [services]. We do everything from uniformed patrol to personal bodyguarding.

How long have you worked there?

Five years.

How did you get interested in this field?

It’s been my life’s work. I worked with the New York City Police Department, and then we moved up here [to New Hampshire]. What first did it for me is I happened to have helped a police officer in New York

who was catching someone who was burglarizing a home. That kind of opened the sky and the sun shined in my face, and I felt like this was my life’s work.

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

I have a master’s degree in criminal justice with a minor in security. But when I started with the police, you only needed a high school diploma. The police academy was six months. As far as working here [at Salerno Protective Services] … you have to start off with a high school diploma.

Training is done both in house and in the field. The program itself probably takes, cumulative, about six months. That covers

FOOD Gourmet tastes

Find new favorites at Lakes Region Uncorked

By Matt Ingersoll

News from the local food scene

mingersoll@hippopress.com

By Matt Ingersoll

With more than 30 vendors from the Lakes Region and beyond offering specialty gourmet foods, craft beers, meads, wines, ciders and spirits, Lakes Region Uncorked is an opportunity to discover something new through tastings and chef demonstrations.

The signature annual fundraising event for Lakes Region Community Services returns for its sixth year on Thursday, Nov. 8, at Church Landing at Mill Falls in Meredith, and includes a silent auction, raffles, live music and more.

Joanne Piper Lang, vice president of Lakes Region Community Services, said the event started as a simple wine and beer tasting with only a few vendors but has grown consistently with a larger emphasis on food pairings and gourmet appetizers.

For the first time, the Carriage House at Church Landing will be used in addition to the ballroom, allowing space for even more vendors.

“We’ve added quite a few new food vendors and have expanded it even more to fine foods with craft beverages,” Lang said.

Some vendors will be selling take-home products, while others make themselves available to talk about the foods and drinks they make.

“One thing we’ve always heard is that people love to get a chance to talk with these businesses and learn about how they make what they make, and things like that,” she said.

Moulton Farm of Meredith, for example, will be bringing fresh vegetables, sharing recipes and hosting a small chef’s demonstration during the event.

New vendors this year include the recently opened Kettlehead Brewing Co. of Tilton, Burnt Timber Brewing & Tavern out of Wolfeboro and Tartaglia’s Pizza of Campton, which will be bringing a portable wood-fired pizza oven.

Some returning vendors even work with each other on food and beer pairings, Lang

• Open for business: The Winter Farmers Market at Cole Gardens (430 Loudon Road, Concord) will hold its opening day on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The market features more than 30 participating local vendors each week, selling a variety of products like baked goods, dairy, pork, beef, chicken, root vegetables, eggs, honey, pet treats and much more. The market will continue every Saturday through April 20 (except for Dec. 29). Special markets throughout the winter season will include a Thanksgiving market on Nov. 17, a Christmas market on Dec. 22 and an Easter market on April 20. For a full list of vendors, visit colegardens.com or call 229-0655.

• Rock’n Ribfest comes to an end: After a 16-year run, the Rock’n Ribfest, a three-day barbecue food festival held in Merrimack every Father’s Day weekend, will not be held next year.

The Rotary Club of Nashua West, which has organized Ribfest each year, recently announced on the event’s website and Facebook page that this year’s event was the last. “We had a lot of fun, fellowship and raised a lot of money for the community,” the post read. “We hope that you will continue to support us with our other events in the future.” The Rock’n Ribfest brought several nationally renowned barbecue restaurants to the Granite State together with local vendors to offer half and whole racks of ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, burgers and more in addition to games, music and other entertainment.

• Slices of heaven: Sample from a variety of locally made traditional and unique pizza toppings and vote on your favorite at the annual PizzaFest, to be held on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire (6 Washington St., Dover). The 10th annual all-you-can-eat “pizza tasting extravaganza” features around 20 different pizza toppings served up by more than a dozen area restaurants; there will be traditional flavors like cheese and pepperoni, while other unique flavors have included apple pie, macaroni and cheese, black bean and ravioli, and even a Thanksgiving-style pizza. Voting categories are Kid’s Choice 34

said. Fox Country Smoke House of Canterbury, which offers a variety of smoked sausages and cheeses, is collaborating with Canterbury Aleworks to pair its foods with their beers. Other past joint efforts have included chocolate truffles and other sweets infused with liquor or beer from some of the drink vendors at Uncorked.

While a majority of vendors hail from the Lakes Region, other favorites of southern New Hampshire such as LaBelle Winery of Amherst and Moonlight Meadery of Londonderry will join the festivities as well.

As with the previous two years, there will be opportunities to sit it on one of two cooking demonstrations featuring Chef Kevin Halligan of Laconia Local Eatery.

Halligan is working with Tamworth Distilling to create specialty cocktails and foods to pair them with, according to Lang.

The popular “Wall of Wine” charity raffle is also making its return. Guests draw a numbered cork and receive the bottle of wine with the corresponding number. A blue ribbon raffle will also be featured, in which attendees have a chance to win a custom wine rack filled with more than two dozen bottles of wine.

This year’s silent auction features a variety of donated items like Boston Red Sox and Boston Celtics tickets, chairlift tickets to Gunstock Mountain Resort, tasting passes at some of the participating

distilleries and wineries and a seven-day Caribbean cruise.

Holderness vocalist and pianist David Lockwood and saxophonist Richard Pfenninger of Plymouth State University will be performing live throughout the evening.

In addition to showcasing what the Lakes Region has to offer for food and drinks under one roof, Lang said, Uncorked has become a popular go-to event for early holiday shoppers.

“It’s a great time of year for people to sort of shift gears toward thinking about the holidays and to find unique gift ideas,” she said.

Spyglass Brewing opens in Nashua

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Exploration is the central theme of the newest nanobrewery to open its doors in Nashua, not only with different flavor palates of IPAs, stouts and saisons, but also with ideas that transcend art and engineering.

It’s why the four owners and founders chose the name Spyglass Brewing Co., which held its grand opening on Oct. 19. All four are working engineers with decades of combined homebrewing experience.

Co-owner and Hollis native John Wagner has himself been homebrewing on and off since the late 1980s. He and business partners Joe Kidder, Jonas Johansson and Subramaniam “A.V.” Aiylam began to think seriously about opening their own business just under two years ago.

Last December, they moved into the space of a former motorcycle repair and accessory shop and have been working ever since on the renovations. The team added new floors, tables and a 10-barrel system out back for their beers, painted the walls and crafted their signature spyglass telescope logo that appears on the glassware.

“We were doing all this building, and the whole time we’re doing that, John is busting out a new beer every week,” Kidder said. “There was a lot of work … to put together a palate of beers that we could serve people that we liked.”

The starting lineup at Spyglass Brewing Co. includes eight taps, four of which Wagner called “big and hazy” New England-style IPAs. There is “Levitation” (featuring notes of orange zest and ripe peaches, vanilla and various dry hops), two versions of the “State Machine” IPA (one with a Citra dry hop that produces tropical fruit and citrus flavors and one with an Idaho 7 hop for a pine aroma) and the “Phase Shift,” which features a grist of a British pale malt and dry hopped with Citra and Mosaic hops.

The remaining lines include two saisons and two milk stouts. The “Twist of Fate” saison is dry zested with sweet and bitter orange peels and hand-processed lemons and limes thrown in,

while the “Ploughshare” saison has a grist of wheat, rye and German pilsner malt and French, German and New Zealand hops.

The “Dark Matter” milk stout contains caramel malts and milk sugar, while the Photo by Matt Ingersoll.

“Convergent” milk stout is conditioned with hand-diced whole vanilla beans from Madagascar and pounds of dark espresso roast beans. Wagner said at least a couple of additional taps are in the works to appear on the menu soon.

“We’ve just brewed another IPA that will have another little different twist on it,” he said.

“We’re definitely going to keep inventing new things, but if people really like something in particular, we’re not against brewing it again. …

We want to be open with people too, so that they can learn and be in touch with the ingredients.”

There’s also a small food menu of cocktail samosas, taquitos, chips and salsa, mixed nuts and cheese, plus a few non-alcoholic drinks.

Wagner said 32- and 64-ounce growlers can be purchased, and each tap will soon be available in cans.

The 45-seat brewery was filled to capacity during its opening weekend.

“It’s interesting, because the IPAs were the beers that people sort of said, ‘I’ve been waiting for this.’ But then people would step off the path and have a saison and go, ‘Well this is pretty good, I don’t usually have this, but I like it.’

So it was kind of cool to see,” Kidder said.

Ideas from off the shelf

Roasted Tomato Soup The fall weather means I’m relying more on my go-to favorite recipes for comfort food. Feel-good combos like soup and sandwich are rotating into my meal repertoire more often, but I try to avoid falling into the same patterns every week. Recently I’ve been on a hearty soup kick, which means I’ve abandoned some of my favorites like Italian wedding soup and chicken noodle, for thicker broths with more substance, ones that could stand alone at the table.

This recipe for roasted tomato soup is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The depth of flavors from the roasted veggies as well as the garlic, basil and parsley will warm you to the core, and leftovers the next day are even more satisfying. I’ve paired this soup with grilled cheese and BLTs, and both combos were delicious. Regardless of the sandwich pairing, however, I’ve found the soup is the real star.

I’ve made a few variations to this recipe, but only opting to use fresh basil and parsley instead of dried, though dried herbs are admittedly more pantry-friendly. This recipe is also great because it freezes well. You could make a big batch, freeze in smaller portions, and quickly reheat it for last-minRoasted Tomato Soup Recipe courtesy of All Recipes 3 pounds Roma (plum) tomatoes, quartered 1 yellow onion, halved and quartered ½ of a red bell pepper, chopped 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon sea salt (or more to taste) 1½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (or more to taste) 3 cloves garlic, halved 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth 2 teaspoons dried basil 1 teaspoon dried parsley Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

I think what really gives this soup its flavor is roasting the vegetables first.

Spending some time on the roasting pan really brings out the warm flavors and aromas of the tomatoes and the red peppers, making the soup multidimensional and not one-note like you’d get out of a can.

Simple recipes like this one are great as we head into the rush of the holidays and the frantic pace of cookie-making and turkey-basting, when you don’t want to spend more time in the kitchen than you absolutely have to. But popping these veggies in the oven and tossing them into a stockpot is about a painless as it comes, and even the extra step of blending everything together doesn’t seem so time-consuming when you finally get to sit down and enjoy the fruits (it is tomato soup after all) of your labor.

– Lauren Mifsud tomatoes, onion and red bell pepper in one layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over tomato mixture and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; add garlic and continue roasting until tomato mixture is tender, about 15 more minutes. Bring broth, basil and parsley to a boil in a large stockpot; reduce heat and simmer. Put half the tomato mixture into a blender. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until smooth, adding a small amount of the warm chicken broth as needed. Pour pureed tomato mixture into stockpot with chicken broth.

Puree remaining half of tomato mixture and add to chicken stock mixture, mixing well.

I gravitate to big, heavy stouts and porters, or complex brown ales as the temperature cools. I’m talking beers with rich flavors of chocolate, coffee, caramel and dark fruits, many boasting big alcohol content.

“When it’s cold, you start wanting dark beers,” said Michael Mahn, tap room manager of Kelsen Brewing Co. Broadly speaking, the craft beer movement seems to be defined by the IPA, which has persuaded people that waiting in long lines for beer is a good idea. New Hampshire has some terrific IPAs I would put up against the region’s best, but the Granite State’s array of robust dark brews is what truly sets it apart. The fall is the perfect time to embrace the cool weather and to dive into brews with rich complexity and warming alcohol.

Let’s start with Kelsen Brewing Co.’s Vendel Imperial Stout. Kelsen is based in Derry and is known for its imperial stouts, including the Vendel, a seasonal brew released in fall boasting hefty coffee and chocolate flavors at 9.4-percent ABV. “It’s a super rich, creamy, roasty, imperial stout,” Mahn said. “Very coffee- and chocolate-forward.” Kelsen gets the coffee for the brew from the Coffee Factory in Derry, which roasts beans right on site.

This is a brew for relaxed sipping by the fire.

Expanding on the base Vendel stout, Kelsen brewers added real toasted coconut and vanilla to the Vendel base stout and are currently aging the brew in port wine barrels.

“You’ll get that oakinees, but also a vanilla note from the wood,” Mahn said.

“We try to mix it up, and that really allows us to be creative.”

The barrel-aged version of the Vendel will be available this month. Kelsen is also brewing Vinátta, its Russian imperial stout that comes in at 12-percent ABV. Look for that in February.

Just the town over in Londonderry, 603 Brewery has several brews ready to help you navigate the cool fall weather. 603’s new Bean Coffee Brown Ale is brewed with locally roasted coffee from Flight Coffee Roasters.

“This is really coffee-forward,” said Tim Clapper, head brewer, 603 Brewery.

The coffee hits you in face but the alcohol is a modest 5.2-percent ABV, which makes this supremely drinkable.

603’s E09 Coconut Cookie Cluster Porter might just have everything anyone could possibly want in a cool-weather brew.

“This was fun to make. We had to figure

out how to take a chocolate coconut cookie and make it taste like beer,” Clapper said.

“We added cacao nibs and a whole lot of toasted coconut. It’s like drinking a Girl Scout cookie.”

603 also features its Coffeecake Porter, which is a little bigger beer, with a more robust body, featuring notes of vanilla, coffee and cinnamon.

“It’s something a little maltier; a little sweeter and a little higher alcohol,” said Dan Leonard, operations director, 603 Brewery.

While Londonderry and Derry have become their own craft beer hotbeds in New Hampshire, the options for cold-weather brews abound across the Granite State.

Throwback Brewery in North Hampton offers its “Rölsch,” a dark and roasty black Kölsch, and Henniker Brewing Co. boasts two wonderful seasonal brews: FlapJack Maple Double Brown Ale made with local maple syrup for a little sweetness in this robust and complex offering, and The Roast, one of the best coffee stouts you’ll find anywhere.

For the pumpkin beer lover, Portsmouth Brewery’s Imperial Pumpkin Porter is an intriguing big beer version of the typical lighter and often too sweet pumpkin brews you find in fall. This one is big and dark and brewed with 100 pounds of local Dickinson pumpkins from Blueberry Bay Farms in Stratham. The brewery also finishes it with cacao nibs, so look for chocolate notes in the finish and the aroma.

What’s in My Fridge Life on Marzen Lager by Berkshire Brewing Co.: I love trying different Octoberfest-style brews and this one didn’t disappoint. It has terrific malty flavor and a crisp finish; perfect out in the yard on a classic New England fall day. Cheers!

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Languish, Unworthy (Prosthetic Records)

The indie metal label Prosthetic has been a constant in my promo feed for like a million years now, but have I given them any attention? No, because I can only take so much death metal, really, and past that, if I actually did my job well at all I’d have reviewed a few of the quadrajillion Metal Blade albums that’ve pounded my emailbox for like 10 years now. That’s not to say local thrashers should be afraid of me, just message my Facebook and I’ll deal with you nice and more-than-fairly. Now, with that nonsense out of the way, I can swivel my deathrobot-head, eye-lasers fully charged, in the direction of this Arizona band’s first full-length and fire at will if they don’t live up to the PR hype, which drew me in with their claims of being a former sludge band that makes “f—ed up music.”

“Raze” is a great song title, and it is truly crazed, like Cannibal Corpse with really deep problems. It’s black metal, really; white-noisy, barely intelligible, played by suburbanites who are utterly ticked at their mommies (probably with good reason, amirite?). Someone needs to save humanity from this, but I am simply too busy. A — Eric W. Saeger Rhy Dongju, Animalistic U / Dystopia (Lions’den Records)

There are classical influences in this one, but this young-ish Korean prodigy’s mind is like a sponge; he’s influenced as well by dubstep and cyberpunk, and the theme of this album (like many others I’m seeing these days) is colored by a yearning for post-materialist utopia. The opening “Prelude” features Dongju plucking a heavily reverbed guitar version of Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1 in G major (if you saw the movie Master and Commander, think of the chill part when the ship arrives at the Galapagos Islands); this wouldn’t be the hardest thing in the world to play, but it’s an apt, disembodied way to lead into the bombastic marriage of symphonic metal, drum ‘n’ bass rinsing, wub-wub and, well, Wagner. “Hive” is equal parts progressive house, goth-stomp and noise-rock, delivered ingeniously, albeit with an Ableton-or-whatnot sound that skimps on the layering at the beginning (I got used to it after a minute or so). Very ambitious record. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

It’s Fall Time!

We’re cooking up these amazing Sweet Potato Donuts!

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • Cool, there’s a few interesting ones to go over this week, starting with the new Tenacious D album, Post-Apocalypto, due out Nov. 2! As you know, this is a joke band featuring Jack Black in character as a fanboy who loves heavy metal, or whatever the deal is; to me, this sort of comedy peaked with Spinal Tap, but nobody paid attention when those guys released their last album, what, like a year ago.

There’s really not much one can say about Black’s little trip here, and I don’t see that he’s had any beefs, so the only option is to toddle off to the internet and see what he’s done now. Wow, weird, the new single, “Chapter 1 (Hope)” has 666 downvotes on the YouTube video. I’m not kidding. So first the song starts out with some stuff that sounds a little bit like Soundgarden, but with those stupid pinchy high-pitched guitars that Glenn Danzig likes. Then the joke-metal stops and these cartoon guys sit around playing video-game golf, and then they’re running from something, and then they lock themselves in a refrigerator. This total side-splitting hilariousness goes on for like 5 minutes, and then I really got sick of it and moved on.

• I was supposed to be sent the new Dead Can Dance album Dionysus, and maybe I did, but my emailbox is so totally grassed at this point that I can’t control it anymore. I may have won money from some class action lawsuit or gotten an invitation to visit the White House, but I’d have no idea at this point. While I’m at it, if you’re a local band wondering why I’m ignoring you, the best thing to do is to send me a Facebook message, or better yet, a Twitter message, because I’m pushing the stupid Twitter because people tell me I need to “market” my awesome book, Russian Nazi Troll Bots, on the social media. Did Dickens have to run around handing out little leaflets in the mid-1800s to get some press love? I doubt it, and hate it, but I’m stuck doing it, so that’s why I’m so difficult to reach. Just PM me if you have a new album and I’ll review it if you’re a local band. Anyway, us slightly older gothies love Dead Can Dance, so let’s see what they’re up to. Actually, I just remembered, the album must be in my Haulix feed, but the heck with that, I’ve already written 208 words, let’s just talk about the single, “Nierika.” The usual tribal rhythms, some Nepalese lady singing, backed up by some African chanting, it’s cool, as always.

• Scratchy voiced Marianne Faithfull releases her new LP Negative Capability on the 2nd. Old people have tried to push her awful ’80s single “Broken English” out of their memories, so I apologize for the flashback, but she has a new song, from this album, called “The Gypsy Faerie Queen.” Hey, Nick Cave is on here! But first I have to get past this droopy, dreary balladry, and good lord, he sounds better than her. What a horrible song. She sounds like your grandmother after 50 hits of vodka. Let’s vamoose from this nightmare.

• I was also promised The Prodigy’s new album, No Tourists. This old-school rave soundsystem is awesome, as everyone knows who’s ever heard “Smack My B**** Up” and whatnot, and the new single “Need Some1” is awesome too, a big huge breakbeat, some electroviolence, a diva girl singing the title to the tune of “Everybody Dance Now.” This is genius, they still rule. — Eric W.

Granite State of film

17th annual SNOB Film Festival features mostly NH films

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

The SNOB (Somewhat North of Boston) Film Festival is all about the Granite State this year — 75 percent of the films were created by filmmakers from or residing in New Hampshire, were shot in New Hampshire or feature a New Hampshire-centric plotline or topic.

Jay Doherty, festival executive director, said that’s the highest number of films with New Hampshire ties that the festival has seen in its 17 years of existence.

“That will be something interesting and unique this year. It will be cool to see what filmmakers in our state have been doing,” he said. “It’s especially exciting for the filmmakers to show their films on the big screen and have their hometown support behind them.”

The festival is happening Thursday, Nov. 8, through Sunday, Nov. 11, at Red River Theatres in Concord. More than 50 independent films will be shown on two screens throughout the four-day event. In addition to the local films, there will be films from across the U.S., Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and Germany. A variety of genres will be represented, including comedy, science fiction, documentary, horror, drama, animation and more. Most screenings will be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers and other people involved in the making of the films.

The festival opens on Thursday evening with the world premiere of On Main, a rock documentary about Vermont band Madaila, which made history when it became the first band to shut down Main Street in Burlington, Vermont, for a concert. The film includes footage from the concert as well as interviews with the band.

The filmmaker, Mike Mooney of Newbury, said he’s always been inspired by classic rock documentaries like The Last Waltz and Stop Making Sense.

“I really wanted to capture this unique live show and get a bit of insight into the band to share with people who might not be familiar with them,” Mooney said. “I’ve known [lead singer] Mark Daly for a long time, and seeing his evolution as a musician and his passion has made me want to help spread the word about their music.”

Another film being shown Thursday evening is The Beaumonts, a comedy-horror about a family of vampires trying to fit in after moving to the small town of Sandwich, New Hampshire.

“Sandwich is so spooky with all its stone walls and Victorian homes and statues,” filmmaker Jamie Sharp said. “I thought it was the perfect backdrop for a vampire movie.”

father says they are only allowed to feed on people from Massachusetts — an unlikely pair of vampire hunters teams up to take the family down.

“Absurd and campy is how I would describe it,” Sharp said. “[It has] a lot of laughs. [There is] a little blood spatter and gore, but nothing too stomach-turning. Mostly, it’s just funny to see this family falling over themselves and being ridiculous.”

In addition to the independent film screenings, the festival will have several special events, including a screening of 1985 cult classic The Breakfast Club paired with a craft beer tasting on Thursday evening; a Filmmaker Meetup and networking event with the New Hampshire Film Office on Saturday morning; and a kids’ film fest featuring films

created by New Hampshire elementary and middle school students on Sunday afternoon.

The festival closes with a Highlighted Films and Awards ceremony on Sunday, following the kids film fest.

Doherty said the SNOB Film Festival’s dedication to “truly independent” film is what continues to set it apart from other film festivals.

“There are different levels of independent film. Truly independent film means there is no studio to put in the money; it’s filmmakers borrowing and using their own money to make these films,” he said. “What we’re doing is giving those filmmakers a place to show those films, and giving people who want to see truly independent film a place to see it.”

Cost: Thursday and Friday passes $20 each, Saturday pass $50 and weekend pass $75.

An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, by Hank Green, narrated by Kristen Sief (Penguin Audio, 9 hours 25 minutes) A 20-something artist capitalizes on her incidental fame when giant robots materialize in big cities in Hank Green’s new novel, which — like a good online video or a positive Twitter metric — has left me wanting more.

And there is definitely room for more.

Most readers who pick up An Absolutely Remarkable Thing will already be familiar with Hank Green and/or his brother John, who often work as a duo and seem sort of interchangeable the way two Backstreet Boys might be interchangeable (not at all or completely, depending on your perspective). John has already written some blockbuster novels. Hank had so far stuck to their co-authored online video endeavors such as the Crash Course series, which, well, if you haven’t checked it out, check it out, it’s pretty cool.

The high schoolers use it.

So there’s a built-in audience for this book, whose cover, by the way, grabs you from the YA end-cap yelling, “I’m related to John Green!” (I haven’t read any John Green books, so I can’t do any comparing and contrasting along those lines.) It’s on many “most anticipated” and “best new books” lists.

And that built-in audience might recognize certain flairs, but even if you are new to the Green game you can find much to enjoy about Remarkable Thing.

It’s got robots, it’s got heart, it’s got flashes of humor, it’s got thinky bits — contemplative and brain-teasing bits — and on its sci-fi side it’s got some things that are a little far-fetched but they float along easily on the energy and flow of the story. Having finished it, I miss the characters and their world.

Kristen Sieh keeps the audiobook lively. I looked her up after I finished listening and was not surprised to find she is an accomplished stage and TV actor; she gives personality to the characters and expressive rhythms to their dialogue, and she comfortably inhabits April,

the young art grad from whose POV the book is written. A few times I laughed out loud at her exclamations in a way I might not have if I’d been reading the hardcover for myself.

Sometimes April is introspective and analytical. She muses, “Much of the best art is about balancing between reflecting culture while simultaneously being removed from it and commenting on it. In the best case maybe an artist gets to say something about culture that hasn’t been said and needs to be said. That’s a lofty goal but not a bad one.”

At these moments it’s easy to wonder where this somewhat scattered young woman is getting these insights-lessons, and then to answer: from Hank Green, obvs. Is this another Crash Course installment?

But Hank Green’s crash courses are no less valuable or interesting in the context of an alien-robot romp of a novel than in the context of YouTube, and they are only a small part of this whole anyway.

Somewhere in Chapter 5 girlfriend Maya asks, “April, what is this really about?,” and that seems apropos of the book itself at that point. Is it about the mystery of the robots that came out of nowhere? Or is it about April’s project to create a persona out of her fortuitous connection to said mystery? Is this a science fiction tale about first contact or a cautionary tale about the internet age?

Easy answer: both. But it’s not as cautionary as the jacket blurbs suggest. She’s not only chasing attention; she’s chasing the money that will pay off her student loans. Who wouldn’t want to post a video if it gets them ten thousand dollars? And she talks about making a difference or having a voice or using her platform — even if she doesn’t know what for yet, which is where the potential for trouble arises.

Attention is OK; holding on to it for its own sake, just so you don’t lose it, is less OK. Also there’s the fact that it can be hard to share.

In fact sharing is a big theme in An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. I’d recommend you read it and share it with friends. The audiobook was an enjoyable, fast-paced listen that kept me up past bedtime for the final few chapters in a single sitting. A— Lisa Parsons

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Hunter Killer (R)

Navy Captain Gerard Butler, Rear Admiral Common, NSA something Linda Cardellini and a president let’s call Shmillary Shminton try to save the world from bellicose yell-y dudes in Hunter Killer, a dumb action movie/fun alternate history movie about Russia and submarines.

President Shmillary (Caroline Goodall), who IMDb says is called “President Dover,” is no pushover. When the Russians appear to have sunken an American submarine, she agrees with war-hungry Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gary Oldman that America should mobilize the fleet and send it Russiaward. But she also agrees with NSA person Linda Cardellini and Rear Admiral Common that we should give Navy submarine captain Gerard Butler (character name Joe Glass) and Navy SEAL commando guy Beaman (Toby Stephens) time to right the situation before serious shooting starts.

You see, Rear Admiral Common (his character is called John Fisk but I never couldn’t think “Rear Admiral Common”) has sent in Beaman on an off the books mission at the behest of Cardellini (whose character is called Jayne Norquist) to get some on-the-ground intelligence about what is happening at the base near where the Russian sub sank the American sub. Through the magic of drones and exceptionally good microphones, Beaman and his team are able to get multi-camera, cinematic-quality footage of war-hungry defense minister Admiral Dmitri Durov (Michael Gor) staging a coup against Russian president Zakarin (Alexander Diachenko), which he also helpfully does outside in good lighting. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gary Oldman is all, who cares, let’s start warring. But everybody else wants to prevent nuclear armageddon so Beaman and his team try to rescue Zakarin while Captain Gerard Butler and his guys rescue Russian sub captain Andropov (Michael Nyqvist) and aid in the efforts to get Zakarin back in charge of his country.

Aw, Russians and Americans working together to undermine the fear-stoking elements of our respective countries and keep the world at peace. According to the movie’s Wikipedia page, the filming started in the summer of 2016, which is perhaps how the movie ended up with a no-nonsense lady president and a slightly more optimistic world view than you’d expect from the movie’s first few moments. Because five minutes in to this movie about American-Russian military entanglement, I kind of expected to hate it and be bummed out, which is not what I want from my silly Gerard Butler movies. Delightfully, the movie went a different way and gave me exactly what I wanted — plotting that doesn’t really make sense, actors doing that synchronized lean to let us know the ship is diving, edge-of-your-seat yet completely preHIPPO | NOVEMBER 1 - 7, 2018 | PAGE 42

Hunter Killer

dictable action. This movie is dumb in exactly the 2015 way I want my international thrillers to be now: free of the downbeat realities of the world, containing a ray of hope about global cooperation and with just enough of a nod to a backstory for Butler’s character that we can forgive any accent dodginess.

Is Hunter Killer good, you ask? Not at all!

But it is also not bad — not weirdly racist or sexist or violent in some disturbing way. It doesn’t try to make some ham-fisted point (or, if it is doing that, it does it poorly enough that it doesn’t get in the way of the submarining). The ending has a “huh, cute” quality that I can’t really describe without spoiling it (not that you won’t get a general sense of what the ending will entail well before you get there). If you are getting serious about scoping out award season hopefuls, look elsewhere. If you want Gerard Butler to give you a few hours of suspensefulish fun, Hunter Killer delivers. C+ Rated R for violence and some language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Donovan Marsh with a screenplay by Arne Schmidt and Jamie Moss (based on the novel Firing Point by George Wallace and Don Keith), Hunter Killer is two hours and two minutes long and is distributed by Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment.

Mid90s (R)

Jonah Hill writes and directs Mid90s, either a slice of 1990s nostalgia or a terrifying glimpse at the life of a tween/teen boy.

If you’re a younger millennial or you don’t have kids yet, it’s heavier on the former. If you’re an Xer and/or a parent of kids headed into teendom, beware; here be monsters.

Actually, most of the “monsters” are the monstrously dumb decisions made by Stevie (Sunny Suljic), whose age I never quite caught (the actor is 13, according to the internet) but who early in the movie graduates from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sheets to skateboards. So, he’s that old. He finds a new friend group in a bunch of older teens (mid-high school? Some are of driving age)

who hang out at a skateboard shop in the sun-faded strip malls of southern California.

Ruben (Gio Galicia), the seeming youngest of that bunch, talks to Stevie first and both tries to wise him up and is happy to have a new lowest kid in the social pecking order.

The “leader” is Ray (Na-kel Smith), who is serious about his skateboarding and who practices constantly, hoping to impress some local pro skateboarders and find a career in the sport. Fourth Grade (Ryder McLaughlin) is a quiet hanger-on who films their various exploits. And then there’s the kid played by Olan Prenatt, whose nickname alone could give a movie an R rating. While Prenatt’s character clearly fancies himself street smart and hard partying, he seems to be something of a tourist in the working-class neighborhood where the rest of the kids live.

Stevie’s new friend group doesn’t seem to sit well with his mother (Katherine Waterston), who is herself rather young and still figuring life out, or Stevie’s 18-year-old brother Ian (Lucas Hedges), who is a pressure cooker filled with rage.

Nostalgia and terror, Mid90s spends its runtime see-sawing between the two: hey, it’s a Beavis and Butthead T-shirt; gaaah, that kid just skated off a roof! Mostly, Mid90s reminds me of the recent spate of 1990s-style indie movies that are more about mood and place and time (a recent example: The Florida Project) and less specifically about a thing that happens. Mid90s captures its era well — beautifully, even, which is a surprising thing to say about the parking lots and strip malls.

As with The Florida Project, these kids (who are older than the little kids of that movie) seem to float through situations filled with danger, unaware of the depths of the danger they are in. Scenes where Stevie is given alcohol and drugs or finds himself in a makeout session with an older girl are excruciating to watch, as can be some of his attempts at showing off way beyond his abilities on the skateboard (the previously mentioned roof skateboarding incident, for example).

Also similar to The Florida Project and to Lady Bird, the movie reinforces the self-

focused nature of the central characters (both Lady Bird’s Christine and Mid90s Stevie are teenagers, so that sense that the whole world is focused on them feels right) while still giving us glimpses of the interesting or compelling or disturbing lives of the characters around them. Hedges’ Ian (Hedges is a Lady Bird alum) in particular feels like a guy who could fill his own movie with whatever is going on in his proto-Eminem head.

Mid90s doesn’t rise to the level of Lady Bird to me but it has solid, strong, naturalistic performances and an intentionally loose story-telling style that is focused on putting us in the moment. I liked it, more than I expected I would, I think, and while it is one of those movies I don’t know that I could bear to watch again I think I would recommend it to anyone for whom the place, the era or the life stage has any interest. B+ Rated R for pervasive language, sexual content, drug and alcohol use, some violent behavior/disturbing images — all involving minors, according to the MPAA. Written and directed by Jonah Hill, Mid90s is an hour and 25 minutes long and distributed by A24.

The Hate U Give (PG-13)

A teenage girl sees a police officer shoot her friend during a traffic stop in The Hate U Give, a movie based on the YA book by Angie Thomas.

As Starr Carter (Amandla Stenberg) explains in voice-over, she lives a split existence. At home, in her African-American neighborhood and with her family she is one version of herself, and at her fancy, predominantly white private high school she is another, more careful version of herself — a quiet, doesn’t make waves version. At school she has friends — Maya (Megan Lawless) and Hailey (Sabrina Carpenter) — and a boyfriend, Chris (A. J. Apa), whom she deeply cares about but seems intent on keeping separate from the friends and family in her neighborhood who are equally important to her.

On the way home from a neighborhood party, Starr gets a ride with Khalil (Algee Smith), a childhood friend and her first crush.

They sweetly flirt. She tells him about Chris; he tells her that’s OK, they have time in their lives to be together someday.

Then, Khalil is pulled over. Starr immediately does as her father, Maverick (Russell Hornsby), has always told her to do — hands on the dash and follow directions of the nervous officer. It’s an overused expression but the situation quickly goes sideways and Khalil is shot. In front of her eyes, the boy who she was just crushing on dies and she is handcuffed and taken to the police station for questioning.

The bulk of the movie is watching Starr trying to figure out how to live with this trauma, particularly in the code-switching-heavy life created by her two worlds of home and

school. At school, she struggles to keep anger from boiling over. At home, she finds herself being pulled by adults in her orbit: her mother Lisa (Regina Hall) and Lisa’s brother Carlos (Common), a police officer, are focused on her immediate protection. Khalil’s grandmother, Rosalie (Rhonda Johnson Dents), and activist April Ofrah (Issa Rae) want Starr to publicly speak up for Khalil. Her father seems to understand the trouble this could bring, especially as it relates to King (Anthony Mackie), head of the dominant local drug dealing operation, a former friend of Maverick’s and Khalil’s unofficial boss. Maverick and King have a kind of uneasy truce but Maverick knows that Starr’s public advocacy for Khalil could bring unwanted attention to King.

This part of the story, the family’s difficulties with King, feels the most “movie,” more like a story device than a story. The core of the movie, where emotions and characters feel the most genuine, is when the story stays with Starr and her attempts to deal with what has happened to her friend and figure out what to do with her anger. This idea of who is “allowed” to be angry and how they can express it (so much a part of current realworld discourse) feels like the part of the movie with the most to say and the most new

to say, especially to what I would suspect is its intended audience of teens and teen-adjacent viewers.

Stenberg, Hall (always excellent) and Hornsby do good work with these elements.

Figuring out how to be in the world being such a key part of teenage life in general and so central to the way we’re told Starr’s story specifically. Stenberg’s slow-burn irritation with the cluelessness of her private school friends is often really well built.

Other parts of the movie — some of the more dramatic moments in the crumbling friendship between Starr and Hailey — tip into telling rather than showing. The movie can feel a little “very special episode” at times when it stops the action to talk directly about an issue. I feel like the directness is intentional — In Case You Missed It Here is the Point — but it breaks up the emotional flow of the story.

The Hate U Give is commendable for presenting complex issues even if it occasionally falls back on overly neat resolutions. B Rated PG-13 for mature thematic elements, some violent content, drug material and language. Directed by George Tillman Jr. with a screenplay by Audrey Wells, The Hate U Give is two hours and 13 minutes long and distributed by Twentieth Century Fox.

Two days after his New Hampshire show, Breuer will be part of Denis Leary’s annual Comics Come Home benefit at TD Garden in Boston. Plus, the perennial headbanger had a dream come true recently — Metallica is bringing him along to warm up crowds on their current tour, which began in September and runs through March 2019.

Breuer leads heavy metal karaoke and lip sync contests, hands out a few backstage passes and entertains an audience that’s not interested in an opening act. “[I’m there] instead of … a band that maybe 10 percent of the audience knows,” he said recently. “Because at the end of the day, everyone is there for Metallica. … We give you a party atmosphere.”

But there’s one moment that probably dwarfs all the rest of Breuer’s big-stage appearances. Last March, he joined Billy Joel on stage to sing AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long” for the 50th show of Joel’s residency at Madison Square Garden. Breuer arrived there simply as a spectator, bringing his daughter to see the show as a 16th birthday present.

“I was thinking, someone is probably gonna show up and sing,” he said. “Maybe Springsteen, maybe Paul McCartney, who knows?”

Indeed, it was Billy Joel, with whom Breuer shares an agent. Their agent was there that night and invited Breuer to meet the Piano Man. “I went, oh my God, I’m nervous, but sure.

That led to Billy going, ‘I hear you do AC/DC?’ I didn’t know where he was going with that. I go, ‘Yeah, I imitate them,’ and then he said, ‘Do you want to go on stage?’ I completely froze and said, ‘I don’t think I’m gonna know all the words.’ And it was technically over.”

That is until Joel’s guitarist Tommy Byrnes

changed his mind.

“He hunts me down and goes, ‘Dude, monitors are all over the stage [and] you’re not gonna forget the lyrics. ... I’ll go talk to him. He came back two minutes later and said, ‘OK, he’s cool, this is what we’re doing. They’ll come find you in your seats. I was numb for the first hour.”

When Joel introduced him, reminding the crowd of Breuer’s time playing Goat Boy on Saturday Night Live, “that’s when it hit me — he’s gonna be so disappointed. They’re here for the same reason I am,” Breuer said. “Then the place kind of erupted, actually. He said, ‘This is a tough song. … We thought we’d welcome Jim Breuer and see if he could pull it off.’ When you watch the video, I pulled it off and then some.”

His daughter had mixed emotions about the experience.

“A couple of days later she goes, “Dad, I was really really freaked out for you,’ and I go, ‘Honey, how do you think I felt?’ She goes, ‘No, you didn’t have to go to school if you sucked.’

Wow — I didn’t think of that. I’d get an hour bit out of it, and she’s gotta get harassed.”

The comment about probably milking the moment for laughs is undoubtedly true. Since retiring his stoner persona from the cult film Half Baked almost a decade ago — which he wrote about in his memoir I’m Not High — Breuer’s act comes almost entirely from his often challenging life. He’s lost both parents in recent years, and now his wife is battling terminal lymph node cancer. By turning it all into humor, he helps others — fans often call his show Therapy With Breuer.

When Breuer prefaces an answer to a question by saying, “to be honest,” it’s not just an easy phrase.

“I can talk about what everyone’s relating to,” he said. “I can take away their pain by crushing that subject, because they’ve all been through it, whether it’s mortality or sickness, being a parent, whatever it is. I am so inspired and it keeps me going. There’s nothing better now than to hear, ‘We needed that now, you have no clue

what we’ve been going through in the last couple of months.’ I go, ‘Yeah, no, I do. Trust me, I do. It may not look like I do, but I do. That’s why I talk about [it].”

He steers clear of politics.

“I won’t touch anything that divides people, because in my mind, we’re here too short,” he said. “It’s all brainwashing nonsense that everyone gets caught up in. They’re just using us as tools to fight with each other. In the end, we need to make each other laugh, so we can get through life.”

Breuer and his wife Dee co-host a podcast aptly called The Metal in Me. “There are a lot of people with cancer, but to be able to listen to someone who’s Stage 4 and is living month to month and has a outlook on life the way my wife, who’s a mother of three kids and has a husband ... she just puts it out there, laughs and has such an amazing outlook on life.

I can’t believe the people that are responding to it and how many lives it’s touched. It’s mindboggling.”

sas City Star reported it was scheduled to appear at a run/walk event at a local park the next day. Kansas City Police are hoping the public will help find the 150-pound, 10-foot-long colon and return it to its owners.

• When Denver Broncos backup quarterback Chad Kelly wandered into a suburban house in Englewood, Colorado, early on the morning of Oct. 23, he didn’t appear to pose much of a threat, according to ESPN News. He sat down on the couch next to the female resident, who was holding her young child, and began “mumbling incoherently,” police records showed. But the man of the house, thinking quickly, shooed the 24-year-old Kelly out with nothing more than a vacuum hose. Kelly, who had been at a Halloween party with teammates, was later found sitting in his car about a block away. He was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass, but the real shame is how Kelly hosed his own career: On Oct. 24, the Broncos released him.

• Atif Masood, 42, an employee at a Tesco supermarket in Thornton Heath in south London, is suing the store over the harassment and racial discrimination he says he suffered when a fellow employee broke wind in his face. The Sun reported Masood claims he was targeted because he is Muslim, saying the “unwanted conduct ... had the purpose or effect of violating his dignity.” Tesco dismissed Masood’s complaints in February, saying it found no evidence of racial discrimination. Masood’s hearing will take place in 2019.

Helen Washington, 75, of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, faces charges of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon after she ran out of patience on Oct. 12 with her grandson, who continued to put his teacup on her furniture even after she repeatedly asked him not to.

After dumping his tea out, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported, Washington left the room, apparently to get a gun. Meanwhile, the grandson had made a new cup of tea and put it on the furniture. The argument resumed, and Washington pulled out the .38 Special, shooting her grandson in the leg.

Halloween won’t be quite so frightening for residents of Nottinghamshire, England, now that a “killer clown” has been apprehended and sentenced to 11 weeks behind bars, plus 18 weeks that had previously been suspended, according to the BBC. Damien Hammond, 29, is a homeless and jobless man who has taken on the persona of Heath Ledger’s The Joker from “The Dark Knight Rises.” He admitted to what police called a “crime wave” of offenses, including terrorizing staff in retail stores, waving a gun-shaped cigarette lighter while standing in traffic, and striking a police officer. He arrived at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Oct. 10 with bright green hair, and as he was led to jail, he shouted: “See what you have done. I will kill today!” adding that he would stab police officers and fellow inmates. He has also been banned from central Nottingham for three years.

In Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, chicken owner Stephanie Morse told KNOE-TV on Oct. 18 that she is not going to be deterred from dressing up her chickens for Halloween, even in light of the warning from the Centers for Disease Control about exposure to salmonella. More than 90 people in 29 states have been infected with an antibiotic-resistant strain of the bacteria after coming into contact with raw chicken products. Dressing up live chickens might also cause people to be exposed to the germ.

“Don’t kiss your birds or snuggle them,” the CDC warns. But Morse clucks back: “I just like to put a sweater on them to keep them warm and comfortable.”
