History lessons
“You don’t know what you don’t know” is a phrase often expressed throughout the Leadership NH year and serves as the crux of the program. A few weeks ago I traveled to Washington, D.C., for a few days to discover all the things I didn’t know I didn’t know. Since this was the first time I was spending a significant time in the capital, there were numerous places on my “must visit” list. All the museums and sites were incredibly moving experiences and helped reshape our impressions of American history but, perhaps, none more than the African American History museum. Each floor was filled to the brim with stories and artifacts dedicated to black history in America. A story from the Washington Post earlier this year looked at the statistics of high school seniors’ understanding of slavery in America. Most students did not understand that slavery was central to the Civil War and could not accurately identify what ended slavery in the United States. When traveling across our state, I often hear from students, parents and teachers about the gaps in our curriculums around important historical moments including slavery and the civil rights movement. In New Hampshire we have a burgeoning nonprofit, the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire, that is working to change the narrative around our “all white” roots. This local treasure helps us understand the role Portsmouth played in the slave trade business, celebrates the entrepreneurial spirits of African-Americans in our state, and does much more. The organization recently purchased a building in Portsmouth and is selling tax credits to create this landmark space. Once opened, it will be a place for all to come and view historical artifacts and learn about black history in the state. This work can literally help change the way we view New Hampshire in a more inclusive and comprehensive way. History is such an important part of our culture across this country and in our state. When it’s omitted, many cannot appreciate and understand the role slavery played in the economic foundation of our country, or why certain statues need to be removed because they represent a false narrative. When we do not tell the whole history, we are tearing holes in the fabric of our nation. When visiting the African-American museum, I saw all I didn’t know I didn’t know; it represented all of the critical pieces of history that are missing from classrooms and textbooks across our country. We cannot continue teaching history that removes entire sects of our population. We can do this, not just by seeking what we do know but, more importantly, by finding out all we don’t.

You can make one giant turkey sandwich with all the extras, or have several sandwich-type bites as appetizers, a main dish and dessert. So try an allsandwich Thanksgiving or revamp your leftovers — because everything is better as a sandwich.

NEWS & NOTES
Midterm elections The New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office reported that 580,568 ballots were cast in the 2018 midterms, including 534,706 from regular voters and 45,862 absentee voters. That’s just under 56 percent of New Hampshire’s 956,414 registered voters, according to the office’s most “names on the checklist” tally from July 30, 2018. Gov. Chris Sununu (R-Newfields) won a second term in Concord with 52.8 percent of the vote, defeating Molly Kelly (D-Harrisville) who received 45.7 percent of the vote. Democrats were successful in both Congressional races, with Chris Pappas (D-Manchester) defeating Eddie Edwards (R-Dover) 54 to 45 percent in District 1, and Rep. Annie Kuster (D-Hopkinton) winning reelection over Steve Negron (R-Nashua) 55.3 to 42.5 percent in District 2. Neither Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-Newfields) nor Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) was up for reelection. Democrats also flipped both chambers of the State Legislature, taking a 14-10 majority in the Senate and a roughly 60-seat majority in the House, according to a preliminary report from NHPR. New Hampshire voters also approved two constitutional amendments. According to the amendments’ text, Question 1 allows individual taxpayers to “petition the Superior Court to declare whether the State or political subdivision in which the taxpayer resides has spent, or has approved spending, public funds in violation of a law, ordinance, or constitutional provision.” Question 2 states, “An individual’s right to live free from governmental intrusion in private or personal information is natural, essential, and inherent.” For more insight into the midterms, turn to page 8 to read a Q&A with UNH professor Andrew Smith. Medicaid plans The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services announced a series of public forums to introduce the Granite Advantage Health Care Program, the new health insur-
ance program for residents covered by the state’s Medicaid expansion. Effective Jan. 1, enrolled individuals will receive health insurance through the New Hampshire Medicaid Care Management program, which offers the same services as the New Hampshire Medicaid program along with additional optional programs. Open enrollment will run through Friday, Dec. 28. Ahead of this deadline, the department will discuss the open enrollment period, the transition to Medicaid Care Management and the new 100-hour-permonth work requirement for members between the ages of 19 and 64 to maintain eligibility. Sessions in southern New Hampshire will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 26, at the DHHS Brown Building Auditorium (129 Pleasant St., Concord); Tuesday, Nov. 27, at Nashua Community College (505 Amherst St., Nashua); and Thursday, Nov. 29, in the aldermen’s chambers (One City Hall Plaza, Manchester, off Elm Street). Visit dhhs.nh.gov/ombp. Nonprofit renovations Building On Hope announced it has opened its search for the next New Hampshire nonprofit to receive an “extreme makeover-style renovation.” New Hampshire nonprofits can submit letters of interest through Friday, Dec. 14, if they are in need of physical improvements to a facility it operates that’s located within 20 miles of Manchester. The letters must describe the nonprofit’s mission and programs and how they benefit the community, as well as why the renovation work is needed. Building on Hope is comprised of volunteer designers, architects, suppliers and builders, who work on community building projects across the state. Since forming in 2009, Building On Hope has completed $4.1 million in renovations to five New Hampshire organizations, including Easterseals NH, Girls Inc., Opportunity Networks, Manchester Police Athletic League and the Crisis Center of Central New Hampshire, using donated goods and labor.

Starting last Saturday, Nov. 10, DMV offices in Concord, Dover, Manchester, Nashua, Salem and Twin Mountain will be offering REAL ID services on the second Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to noon. During these hours, the offices will only offer REAL ID transactions. Residents can apply for a voluntary federal ID, which will be required to board an airplane for domestic flights or enter a secure federal facility starting on Oct. 1, 2020. After this date, old New Hampshire driver’s licenses will not be an accepted form of ID for these purposes, and residents will need to present either a REAL ID or a U.S. passport.

Hudson area coyotes may find their dinner options slimmer, after Hudson Police posted a message on Facebook discouraging residents from attracting them by leaving out food. After conducting an autopsy on a coyote that needed to be euthanized, the department found it had been fed dog food. The department reported that the animal was one of “many well-fed coyotes in the area.” The Facebook post asked residents to stop feeding wildlife “immediately,” writing that “by feeding [coyotes], you are causing them to stay in the area putting humans and pets at risk, and the very animal you are feeding.”

He said this plan will allow them to avoid any lapse in services at their existing shelters.
Nonprofits in the Gate and Queen cities are working to provide more services to those in need, with the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter mapping out a larger shelter space, and a trio of Manchester organizations launching a new program to help those struggling with food insecurity and diet-restrictive health issues.

Learning ecosystem
State introducing personalized learning model By Scott Murphy
smurphy@hippopress.com
Over the past year, the New Hampshire Department of Education has rolled out a program aimed at helping school districts offer more inclusive instruction that keeps students with learning challenges on track with their classmates. The department collaborated with education nonprofit CAST from Wakefield, Mass., on the new Universal Design for Learning Innovation Network. The three-year program is designed to help educators provide personalized special education for students. This includes support for students who are who have impairments in vision or hearing as well as those with developmental or physical disabilities. Frank Edelblut, commissioner of the Department of Education, wrote in a statement that the state is aiming to “invest in our educators and equip them for the personalized learning environment we are creating so that all students can achieve bright futures.”
Custom classrooms
Mary Lane, an education consultant with the Department of Education, has been the driving force behind the program. Working under guidelines of the Every Student Succeeds Act, she said the idea is to purchase devices and tools that support these students’ ability to learn within their traditional classroom setting. That might include an audio or video supplement to the lesson plan, interpreters, Braille reading materials and other means of learning. “We went down the journey of, ‘How do we think smarter about what framework, what ideas would help so that schools and families weren’t retrofitting everything?” Lane said. “The whole premise is those children receive their materials that are accessible at the same time.” This framework is an important way to

Despite the strength of the state’s economy, she said, the agency’s year-over-year demand has increased by 8 percent. To put that in terms of food, the organization and its partner agencies distributed 14 million pounds last year, and they’re already on pace to exceed that number this year. That’s why the agency is always looking for food donations. “People should consider donating shelf-stable foods; that is always the best,” said Tim Brockway, director of the Parish of the Transfiguration Food Pantry. “Whereas we have the ability to take perishable goods with our refrigeration capabilities, a lot of pantries may not
integrate students with special learning needs into the classroom, according to Lane. Instead of removing these students from their peers to learn in a different environment, she said using the Universal Design program can help support personalized learning within school’s regular classrooms. An important part of this is making sure that framework doesn’t just follow the student, but also stays a part of each classroom. “With everything we’ve done, we’ve tried to have that framework mindset in place,” said Lane. “We don’t want to wait until a child comes into a district; we want to plan ahead of time.”
Year 1 and beyond
So far the department has worked with 32 schools in 17 different districts. This includes schools in Hopkinton, Hudson, Manchester and Pelham, as well as the Strong Foundations Charter School in Pembroke. Lane said the department has been using a series of meetings, workshops, site visits and online presentations to help train educators on the Universal Design model. The focus of these sessions is to help teachers continue to approach the framework with different perspectives in preparation of unique student scenarios. “When doctors have an operation, it’s not the end of their day; they’re collaborating, researching and planning,” Lane said. “What if [teachers] had a coach … [to help] get into the flexibility of learning in multiple ways?” Looking ahead, Lane said the department is making its resources for the program known to school districts throughout the state. She acknowledge that this is a shift in traditional classroom structures and will take time for some schools to prepare to make it work within their own class settings. “We have to give people time to grow and to make it work,” Lane said. “The whole idea is making it work for the culture [of the school district].”
have that luxury.” Reinke also encourages volunteering, whether that’s preparing a meal or reading a bedtime story to homeless children. “I really encourage people to actually take that next step and go out and volunteer,” said Reinke. “One of the best things about our organization is that on any given day people from all walks of life will meet others that they generally never would have come in contact with.” Donation and volunteer needs vary depending on the organization and its coverage area.

What were your biggest takeaways from the midterms, in New Hampshire and beyond? I don’t think there was really anything too unexpected that occurred in the New Hampshire midterms. Turnout was maybe a little higher than anticipated, but New Hampshire typically has higher turnout than other states in midterms. ... It was a fairly typical midterm election year. What happened ... is what was predicted by political science models.

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Clean water projects
The EPA granted New Hampshire more than $27 million to help fund water infrastructure projects, according to a news release. The state’s Department of Environmental Services was granted $16 million for its Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund program, as well as $11.1 million for its Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund program. QOL Score: +1 Comment: With these funds, the department will fund several long- and short-term community-based projects to address high-priority water quality and health concerns. This includes upgrades to municipal sewage plants and public drinking water systems across the state.
Wildfire smoke
Though thousands of miles away, effects from the wildfires ravaging California have made their way to the Granite State. Maps released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showing a stream of smoke from the fires over New Hampshire on Monday, Nov. 12, before dissipating on Tuesday, Nov. 13. At its heaviest, the smoke hung over the entirety of the state. QOL Score: -1 Comment: The smoke was measured with NOAA’s High-Resolution Rapid Refresh modeling system, developed to simulate the emissions and transport of wildfire smoke in real time. Based on the model, the smoke concentrations ranged from about two to 15 milligrams per square meter in different parts of the state. In this timeframe in California, the worst smoke density reported was between 250 and 500 mg per square meter.
Expensive utilities
New Hampshire has the sixth-highest utility rates in the country, according to a report from Move.org. The study found that the state’s total cost of utilities — including electricity, natural gas, internet, cable and water — is about $477 a month. While the Granite State ranked near the middle of the pack for natural gas (20th) and internet (27th), its roughly $169 monthly cost for electricity landed eighth among the most expensive states. QOL Score: -1 Comment: Every state in New England made its way into the top 10, with only Rhode Island (third; $522/month) and Connecticut (fourth; $496/month) ranking above New Hampshire. Rounding out the top 10 were Massachusetts (eighth; $469/month), Vermont (ninth; $468/month) and Maine (10th; $464/month).
Diabetes trends
New Hampshire had the fourth-smallest rate of diabetes in the country, according to the latest State Ranking for Prevalence of Diabetes from Gallup and Sharecare. About 8.8 percent of Granite State residents have diabetes according to surveys conducted between 2016 and 2017, a slight decrease from the 9.3 percent reported by Gallup and Sharecare for 2008 to 2009. However, New Hampshire didn’t fare as well in terms of obesity, increasing about 4 percent between reports to include 26.3 percent of residents in the latest report. QOL Score: 0 Comment: Obese individuals have a significant risk of developing type 2 diabetes. According to the report, research shows that about 54 percent of middle-aged, obese Americans who have not yet developed diabetes will do so in their lifetime.

Thanks to a 34-10 drubbing at the hands of Mike Vrabel’s Tennessee Titans the Patriots limped out of town and into the bye week on Sunday night. Despite the down note they head there atop the AFC East by two games over Miami with a 7-3 record. But the news isn’t all good at the break, as the loss put a major dent in their hopes for having home field all through the playoffs as it left them two games behind Kansas City for that advantage. And with their three worst games so far coming on the road that’s significant. So with them on holiday, here’s a look at the highs, lows and report card for what’s gone down in the first 10 games. How’d the Brady/Gronk Off-Season Workout Boycott Work Out: After they hooked up on the first score of the year I may have crowed a little early on this. Since Rob Gronkowski hasn’t been back in the end zone since then and Brady was not sharp while losing two of their first three, it probably had an impact. How’s Last Year’s Draft Doing: Outside of Sony Michel it’s fair to ask, ‘what draft?’ In running for 453 yards on 106 carries Michel has had his moments, though he’s missed three full games. Beyond that, only fourthround pick Ja’Whaun Bentley did anything before joining top pick Isaiah Wynn, third pick Duke Dawson on IR after three games. First Half MVP: James White. With Julian Edelman and Gronk missing six combined games, and the backfield being so wiped out Cordarrelle Patterson had to play tailback, he was the top target, carried the ball more than usual and be a three down back. That produced 61 catches, 231 rushing yards and 10 TD’s. If doesn’t do that, they’re dead. How’s My Prediction Looking: Based on concerns about the defense I predicted 11-5 and coming out of the first month 2-2, which
happened. So they haven’t played much different than I expected. But with only Minnesota and Pittsburgh ahead in the final six (I’m thinking split), I expect they’ll only be 11-5 if they lose to Buffalo in the final game if playoff seedings are already settled. Offense: They’ve scored 38 or more four times, so they’ve had their moments. But their 28.0 points per ranks just seventh overall and there were 10-point disasters vs. Detroit and Tennessee, a semi-disaster in Jacksonville and a thoroughly uninspired, pull away late 25-6 win over Buffalo. So it’s been feast or famine. Having all their weapons just once has hurt, but almost everyone faces that during a season. The good news is the bye gives Gronk, Sony Michel and Shaq Olajuwon Mason two more weeks to heal and that should help. Grade: B Quarterback: Maybe I’m just looking for it, but it seems like the decline has finally begun. Not huge, but a tick or two below what we’re accustomed to. Tom Brady is fifth in passing yards, but his 16th-ranked 94.7 QB rating and projected 27-TD-pass, 11-pick season will all be his worst since 2013. Of course, after losing Wes Welker, Aaron Hernandez and Gronk for various reasons and still going 12-4, he was the league’s most indispensable player that year. So stats don’t always tell the story. Missing on more regular throws than usual, though, and already having terrible games vs. Jacksonville, Detroit and Tennessee says to me something’s up. Grade: BThe Defense: They’re 28th in yards allowed (381), 16th vs. the run (108), 26th in passing (270) and 27th (43.2) in thirddown conversions. And now it’s time for the broken record: With a league-leading 104 hurries the pass rush has been better, but they’re still 30th in sacks. Minnesota leads with 31 and they have 16. Adrian Clayborn with a meager 2.5 is team high, which means ex-Patriots Chandler Jones (6.5), Jabaal Sheard (4.0), (gulp) Cassius Marsh (3.5) and Chris Long (3.0) have more. As
do Bruce Irvin, who just got cut by the lowly Raiders, and even Jayon Brown. Though this Jayon Brown isn’t the ice cold shooting Celtics swingman Jaylen, but a Tennessee linebacker. Of course the Patriots work on different metrics than most, where only points allowed really matter. But their 23.6 is 14th overall, so that ain’t great either. One good game against Aaron Rodgers doesn’t mitigate giving up 31 to offensively challenged Chicago, 40 vs. the great KC offense and 34 to the 18.7-per-game Titans in the last month. Grade: CSpecial Teams: We don’t need to go to the numbers. Outside Steve Gostkowski and Ryan Allen’s kicking and scoring twice against Chicago, this is the worst special teams performance in the Belichick era. Yards given up on kick returns may be helped by the new rules, but the returns regularly are longer and field position worse than in past years. Exhibit A: the, 58-yard tone-setting return by Darius Jennings to start Sunday’s game in Nashville after escaping two guys after being corned near the 20. Grade: D for coverage, C for returns and A- for the kickers. Coaches: They’ve been skunked twice by alums Matt Patricia and Vrabel on Sunday and outcoached two other times in Jacksonville and Buffalo, who kept it close to the end with a train wreck of a team with schemes that confused Brady and limited them to field goals in the red zone. Grade: C+ Overall Grade: They’re 7-3 and lead the AFC East by two games, which we can’t forget. Having said that, I don’t think they’ve played all that well, at least not consistently. The biggest issue is playing complete games. They were great offensively vs. KC but gave up a ton of big plays and 40 points. Against Chicago the O mostly sputtered as QB Mitch Trubisky somehow ran wild, but were bailed out by two special-team TDs in a much closer than it looked 31-17 win. Basically, a season of highs and uncommon lows. Grade: BEmail Dave Long at dlong@hippopress. com.

Bulldogs vs. Astros for title
The Big Story: We’re two days away from championship Saturday and local fans got the football they wanted for the Division I game between undefeated Bedford and tradition-rich Pinkerton Academy. The Bulldogs and Astros got there with near identical convincing 30-8 and 30-7 wins over Merrimack and Salem respectively. B-town got the win by virtue of an overpowering first quarter when they ran over the Tomahawks to the tune of 175 total yards to 12 in jumping out to a 14-0 lead behind two Thomas Morgan TD passes. It went to 21-0 on a third that went for 44 yards to Ryan Toscano. It was a near reverse in Pinkerton’s win, as they exploded for 24 points in the second half after leading just 6-0 at halftime. Sports 101: Name the only two quarterbacks to throw a touchdown pass against all 32 NFL teams. In Case I Missed It Award: Was traveling last week and missed the weekend activities, so a belated congrats to the Central girls for defending their Division I Soccer title with a 5-0 win over Londonderry, a win keyed by two goals each from Erin Flurey and Paige LaBerge along with a defense that held the Lancers to just three shots on goal, all of which were stopped by goaltender Jess Lewis.
The Numbers
3 – touchdowns by appropriately named Pinkerton running back Gannon Fast on runs of 40 and 16 yards and by recovering a blocked punt in his own end zone, while Nick Lombardi got the Astros’ fourth TD on a 48-yard dash. 21 – saves out of 22 shots
Ditto Award: The same goes to the Bedford boys who ground out a 3-1 win over Central in the D-I soccer final. Goals by Zach Verow and Austin Edwards in the final five minutes proved to be the difference as the Bulldogs won their first ever D-I soccer title. The Central goal came from Rahul Drukpa, while Edwards got his first goal of the game eight minutes into the game. Sports 101 Answer: The two QBs to throw a TD pass against all 32 NFL teams are Drew Brees and Peyton Manning. On This Day – Nov. 15 in 1967: Following arguably the most inspirational season by any player since Joe DiMaggio in 1941 Carl Yastrzemski is named American League MVP. He got it for a gigantically clutch season that included going 7 for 8 when the Sox needed to win the season’s final two games for the pennant during the greatest pennant race in history. He won the batting (.326) and RBI (126) crowns outright and tied Twins slugger Harmon Killebrew in homers with 44 to win the triple crown. But thanks to a dingbat voter from Minnesota who didn’t believe in having a unanimous choice, Minnesota’s Cesar Tovar got the lone non-Yaz vote even though he hit just .267 with six homers and 47 RBI.
faced by Nashua’s Alec Marshall in his net debut for SNHU when the Penmen were 4-1 winners over Framingham State when Hooksett’s Chris Moquin was one of four players to score for SNHU. 177 – passing yards for aforementioned Bedford QB Thomas Morgan on 12
completions in 20 attempts that produced three TD passes. 200 – after an assist on Friday night, points scored in Manchester by David Kolomatis to take him past Noah (thing or two) Clarke to be the all-time points leader in Manchester Monarchs history.
Sports Glossary
Shaq Olajuwon Mason: Now injured Patriots right guard and arguably their best offensive lineman with parents who, given the first and middle name, must have been serious 1990s hoop fans. Mike Vrabel: Now Tennessee Titans head man and before that all-time Patriots all-timer. Key guy on the first three Super Bowl winning teams when the D was more important to winning than young Tom Brady. His hit on Rams QB Kurt Warner caused the duck Ty Law took back for the first score in SB 36. Also played offense on the goal line unit where eight of his nine career receptions went for TDs. Hard to believe he’s not yet in the Patriots Hall of Fame. Chandler Jones: The 2017 NFL sack leader with 17.5 taken 21st overall by the Patriots in 2012. Exit from Foxboro was expedited by turning up rumblin, stumblin and bumblin at the local police station thanks to a synthetic pot trip during the 2015 playoffs. Not a good life choice when you play for Coach B. Cesar Tovar: Pesky utility man mostly for Minnesota where he played the first 1,090 of his 1,480 big-league games. Later spent time with the Phillies, Rangers, A’s and Yanks before retiring at 35 with a lifetime average of .278 with 46 homers, 435 RBI and 108 stolen bases. The versatile Tovar is best known for playing all nine positions in a 1968 game and for ridiculously getting the vote that prevented Carl Yastrzemski from being the unanimous 1967 AL MVP.

EVERYTHING IS BETTER AS A
SANDWICH How to enjoy the most delicious elements of Thanksgiving
By Matt Ingersoll
mingersoll@hippopress.com
Thanksgiving is a multi-course feat, no matter how you slice it — but if you’re tired of serving up the same old turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes portioned out on a plate, or you’re left with heaps of leftovers you don’t know what to do with, a sandwich can become a great vehicle to explore different flavor combinations. “There are so many different directions you can take so that you’re not opening your fridge for days after Thanksgiving and going, ‘Oh my gosh, not this again,’” said New Hampshire-based food blogger Susan Nye. This year, play around with some fun sandwich ideas for your next Thanksgiving-inspired meal. From main courses to
appetizers and even dessert sandwiches, local chefs and bakers offer up unique suggestions to complement traditional flavors.
Recreate your feast
If you want to abandon the traditional Thanksgiving dinner altogether, there are fun ways to replicate it in sandwich form, whether you are serving turkey, ham or vegetarian options. Lori Ann Paquette, chef and owner of Extra Touch Gourmet Cafe in Bedford, said a turkey sandwich on wheat bread with stuffing, cranberry sauce and lettuce — known as “The Gobbler” on her cafe’s menu — can be a simple but fun addition to your home feast with additions like mashed potatoes or roasted butternut squash for more flavor.
Appetizer sandwiches For lighter bites before the Thanksgiving feast, serving up sandwiches can be a good way to incorporate a variety of ingredients. Nye said grilled brie cheese goes well with cranberry sauce, cut in either small triangle or finger sandwiches. Or you can take several different fillings to create a plate full of “pinwheels” as appetizer sandwiches, Paquette suggests. “You can basically take anything you HIPPO | NOVEMBER 15 - 21, 2018 | PAGE 12
want, like turkey, or ham, and then stuffing, squash, lettuce, tomatoes and a nice ranch dressing … and roll it tightly in a flour tortilla like a pinwheel,” Paquette said. “Those make great appetizers.” Non-meat pinwheel fillings can include cranberry sauce and vegetable cream cheese, or Nutella with finely chopped pecans and apples.
You can even throw some gravy on top of the turkey in your sandwich, as seen on the Thanksgiving sub available at Granite State Lunchbox in Manchester. Co-owner Spencer George said the gravy is best when made from turkey stock. Using innovative ingredients like a chipotle mayonnaise with your turkey sandwiches gives you a whole different
taste too, according to Nye. “If you roasted squash, for example, and then put it on turkey and cheddar cheese with a chipotle mayo, then everything’s kind of melty, and you can add some microgreens if you want after it’s heated up. That would be a great sandwich,” she said. Other turkey panini filling options could include goat cheese, a tapenade and a sun-

dried tomato aioli, avocado with bacon and smoked Gouda or provolone, or a homemade chutney out of cranberry sauce. “You can take [the chutney] and saute it up with some onions,” Nye said. “You’d have to chop the onions really fine, and then throw some ginger in there and some curry powder or paste. … That sort of makes it a savory taste and sweet at the same time.” A cranberry chutney sandwich with cheese could also work as a grilled cheese sandwich, she added. If you have ham as part of your annual Thanksgiving dinner, Paquette suggests ingredients like honey mustard, red onions, spinach, apple slices and cheddar cheese to complement well on a sandwich. As an alternative dressing to honey mustard, you can mix together mayonnaise,
mustard and sweet pickle relish to create a sweet pickle aioli. “Spread that onto a bulkie roll with cheese and put it in the oven and that would be delicious,” Paquette said. For the non-meat eaters, consider throwing together a harvest salad in a sandwich or a wrap, made up of diced roasted butternut squash, apples, cranberries, almonds, pumpkin seeds, mixed greens, cheddar cheese, and either an apple cider or balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
Sweet indulgences
The possibilities are endless for making fun dessert sandwiches too, the most quintessential being the whoopie pie. Nye said pumpkin whoopie pies are always a great option — you can even make them from scratch using pumpkin puree for the 14

cake and spiced cream cheese for the filling, as she outlines in her recipe — but the whoopie pie itself can be a vehicle for other delicious flavors. “You could take cranberry sauce and throw it in a blender so it’s smooth … and put a thin layer of it as a frosting on top of the whoopie pies to get that nice sweet tart taste,” she said. Jennifer Wojtaszek of Frederick’s Pastries in Amherst said other ideas for whoopie pies can include chocolate or peanut butter with a marshmallow filling, a cranberry filling, or even using snickerdoodles with filling flavors like buttercream, maple or mocha. If you don’t want to make the cake part of the whoopie pie, you can make sandwiches out of cookies, Paquette said, with a variety of fillings that could include Nutella, peanut butter, strawberry or raspberry preserves or lemon curd.
Combining a little bit of melted fudge with marshmallow Fluff in between two chocolate chip cookies could be a fun twist on s’mores, she said, or two sugar cookies with raspberry preserves in the middle and powdered sprinkled sugar on top could be a quick and easy sandwich for dessert. “There are so many things out there readily available for people that aren’t even chefs. They can always dress up their cookies with different fillings,” Paquette said. For a more hearty sweet sandwich, Kristen Chinosi of The Culinary Playground in Derry suggests a stuffed panini on cinnamon raisin bread, with a filling of thinly sliced apples, mascarpone cheese, honey, cinnamon and brown sugar, with the option of a maple syrup drizzle on top. She also said that an ice cream “sandwiches” can be a great option for playing with flavors. “Either flavored ice cream like a gingerbread or a pumpkin ice cream, or using seasonal cookies like molasses or gingerbread, would be delicious,” she said, “like a frozen whoopie pie, if you will.”
Reinvent your leftovers
It’s the day after Thanksgiving and you’re facing a refrigerator full of containers of leftover turkey, not to mention the stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. Sure, you can take a basic approach and throw all the ingredients together between two slices of bread, but as Paquette points out, that can get boring fast. 16

“One thing that people definitely struggle with after the holiday is ‘what do I do with all this turkey,’ and there are so many things you can do to utilize your leftovers in a new way,” she said. A great lunch sandwich option Paquette suggested is using your leftover turkey to make a turkey Waldorf salad, mixing it with diced apples, grapes, celery and pecans, and a mayonnaise mixture of apple cider vinegar, Greek yogurt and honey. The salad can go with any bread, roll or croissant, she said. “It freshens up your leftovers … and gives you a nice brightness of flavor with the fruits,” she said, adding that dissolving your honey in water and soaking your apples for at least three minutes helps to stop the oxidation and prevent altering the apples’ taste. Your turkey can also be dressed with pesto and provolone cheese to make a turkey panini, with optional fillings like spinach and tomatoes to add that extra punch of flavor. Other possible sandwich ingredients with your turkey include brie cheese, arugula or a drizzle of New Hampshire-made maple syrup. “So many cheeses go well with turkey,” Paquette said. “Brie and Swiss go really well. You can even do like a dill havarti, or spice it up with a hot pepper cheese, sort of like a Mexican twist on [the sandwich].” As a fun way to reuse leftover mashed potatoes, Chinosi said, you can fry them

like pancakes and then use them as substitutes for bread, using any combination of turkey, stuffing, squash or cranberry sauce you’d like as the filling. You could also mix any leftover cranberry sauce with mayonnaise, Dijon, honey, salt and pepper to make a delicious cranberry mayonnaise that complements turkey in any sandwich, a spread she has taught students of her classes how to make. If you want to make sandwiches but are looking for other health-conscious alternatives to bread, Chinosi recommends using butter lettuce leaves. “Instead of having that extra heaviness with more bread, you can use the leaves to do some lettuce rollup sandwiches, with some chopped up turkey, apple chunks, Craisins or some apple cider vinegar,” she said.

ARTS Immortal tale
Youth theater debuts Tuck Everlasting By Angie Sykeny
asykeny@hippopress.com
The Peacock Players youth theater brings a classic children’s novel to the stage with its production of Tuck Everlasting, running now through Nov. 18 at the Court Street Theater in Nashua. Based on the 1975 book by Natalie Babbitt, the musical is set in the fictional town of Treegap, New Hampshire, in 1893 and follows an 11-year-old girl, Winnie Foster, who meets a family that drank from a fountain 100 years ago that bestowed on them eternal life. Winnie faces an existential dilemma after developing a deep friendship with Jesse Tuck, eternally 17 years old, who asks her to drink from the fountain when she turns 17 so that they can live together forever. “For something that’s G-rated, it’s surprising how deep the subject matter is,” Artistic Director Keith Weirich said. “It forces kids to think about the natural life cycle versus immortality, and if immortality would be a blessing or a curse.” The Peacock Players’ production is the musical’s New Hampshire debut. Tuck Everlasting premiered on Broadway in 2016 with a short run of 39 shows.

“It’s not a big and flashy musical, so it was overshadowed by Hamilton, which also came out at that time and was so huge,” Weirich said. “Still, it developed a strong cult following after that. People can see it’s a beautiful musical with a beautiful score.” It was the score, Weirich said, that attracted him to the musical after someone brought him a copy of the recording and encouraged him to give it a listen. “It’s filled with this beautiful American

folk and Celtic-style music, very Coplandlike, pervasive, delicious and accessible,” he said. “The audience is undeniably going to love it and be enwrapped in it.” The cast consists of 28 kids ages 8 through 18, some of whom were invited from area dance teams to fill the choreography-heavy roles. The choreography in the show is expansive, from lyrical and ballet to New Orleans jazz, culminating with a 10-minute ballet in which Winnie reveals her choice. “For a show that is set in New Hampshire, that is all about age and timelessness, it’s appropriate and relevant that the story be told by the young artists here in New Hampshire,” Weirich said. “They themselves are frozen in this moment in their lives and are the best at representing what this show is about.” The set is elaborate, featuring a 15-foottall tree that winds around the rafters of the building and envelops the stage. A working fountain with running water is built into the base of the tree. Other set pieces and props, borrowed from theater companies around the state, include antique, turn-of-the-century New Hampshire furniture, butter churns, crates and accessories. “We wanted to create something real-

ly authentic,” Weirich said. “We’re known for going the extra mile [with sets], and I thought the production, being the first in New Hampshire, warranted us going the whole nine yards.” One of the most challenging aspects of doing Tuck Everlasting with an all-youth cast, Weirich said, is performing the scenes that jump forward in time and show the characters many years older, but having kids play adult characters is a challenge that the Peacock Players have never shied away from. “It takes a lot of wigs and makeup and attention to detail, and the actors have to learn how to convey age believably,” he said. “The result is a very honest show, where the actors aren’t just caricatures of older people, but are believable and authentic.” Tuck Everlasting

If you’re looking for inspiration for how to decorate your Christmas tree — or you want a chance to bring a fully decorated tree home — you can find it at one of New Hampshire’s festivals of trees. There are nine upcoming festivals, the first of which is the 18th annual Feztival of Trees at Bektash Shrine Center in Concord, which runs from Saturday, Nov. 17, to Sunday, Nov. 25. During that time, there will be nearly 120 full-sized artificial trees on display, decorated by members of the center and local businesses. “It’s completely up to them, how they want to decorate their trees. They use lights, ornaments, tinsel, garland, balls, figures — whatever they want,” Guild Hill, recorder for the center, said. “Some decorate it the standard way, but there are some really good ideas and funny ideas, too.” For a chance to win a tree, purchase a sheet of tickets, then put tickets in the buckets next to the trees that you would like to win. There is no limit on how many tickets you can put in one bucket. “You could put two or three [tickets] in each bucket, or you could put all of them in one if it’s a tree that you really like,” Hill said. When the festival is over, tickets will be drawn from each bucket, and the winners will be called to come pick up their trees. In addition to the full-sized trees, there will be a number of decorated miniature trees and wreaths that people can bid on. Stop by the Candy Cane Cafe to enjoy some refreshments as you browse. There will be fun for the kids, too. “Santa Claus will be here, so you can bring the little ones with you, and they 25 Kiddie pool Family activities this week.

If you have cut back your perennials, cleaned up the vegetable garden and raked the leaves, you have good reason to be a tad smug. You’re ahead of me. But don’t be too proud — there is still plenty to do outside. It’s time for some fall pruning. First, you need to know who gets a haircut and who does not. Let me preface this by saying that, with a few exceptions, you can prune anything at any time and not hurt the plant. Yes, you will reduce bloom count if you prune spring bloomers now. And maples and birch will bleed like crazy if you prune them when the sap is running. But you can prune anything now, in the spring, or in August without damaging your plants. Plants that already have their flower buds will bloom earlier than those like hydrangeas or fall blooming clematis that bloom later on new growth. Early bloomers include forsythia, lilac, magnolia, fothergilla, viburnums, rhododendrons and azaleas. Right now you can see big fat buds on most of those — just waiting for spring and the right time to bloom. Yes, you can prune them now, but you lose flowers later on. So you may want to just do a little pruning on these and wait to do heavier pruning after they bloom in the spring. Hardwood trees like maples, beech, oak, magnolia and linden can be pruned now. Roses I usually prune in the spring, after I see how much the winter has killed off, if anything. Evergreens like pine and hemlock I usually prune right after the new growth has occurred in summer. Fruit trees are traditionally pruned in late winter or early spring, but you can prune apples and other fruits now, and I often do. There is no snow to wade through the way there often is in March. For home gardeners losing a few blossoms — and hence some apples — really is not a loss. In a good year I grow many more apples than I can eat, store, or process. I want my trees to be handsome all winter, not cluttered with too many branches. I want my trees to be sculpture on the landscape. Don’t be a timid pruner. A few bold cuts (removing large stems) can transform a tree in just a few minutes. Nibbling away at the edges, taking off pencil-thick branches is slow, tedious work. How much wood can you remove in a single season? The old rule of thumb was a third of the leaf-producing branches. Now experts advise just 20 to 25 percent. Remember, the leaves are the engine of the tree. They produce the sugars that feed the roots and produce the fruit.If you cut off too many branches (with their leaves), your tree may respond by producing lots of new growth next year in the form of water sprouts or
Cut just outside the branch collar, leaving the wrinkled bark
suckers you don’t want. Aside from the beauty of a well-pruned tree, pruning should open up the canopy so that sunshine can get to every leaf. If a shrub is too crowded with branches, the interior of the tree is a mess, and many leaves do not benefit from the sun. I like to say that a bird should be able to fly through a well-pruned apple tree without getting hurt. Where should you make your cuts? At the origin of the branch, either on a bigger branch, the trunk, or at ground level. Don’t cut off a branch flush to the trunk as it will open up a big wound. Instead, look at the branch and see where the “branch collar” is, and cut just beyond it. The collar is the slightly swollen area at the base of a branch, and its bark is often wrinkled. My late sister, Ruth Anne, loved to prune. She always started pruning by sitting on the ground near the base of a shrub and looking up through the branches. She would decide which bigger branches should be removed, and cut them off near the soil surface. Or start by taking out any dead branches first. Dead branches have dry, flaky bark. If you rub the bark of a small branch, you should see a green layer. Dead branches don’t count when you are calculating how many branches you can remove. Here are the cuts I make when pruning a tree, in the order I take them out: 1. Dead wood. 2. Damaged or cracked limbs. 3. Crossing or rubbing branches. 4. Branches that are growing toward others, or toward the center of the tree. 5. Branches that are paralleling others. I remove the weaker of the two. I recently gave my common ninebark Diablo a heavy pruning, even though it means I won’t see many flowers in the spring. It was just so big and messy, it was driving me crazy. I cut a few large stems right out, and a few others I removed half way down. The shrub is much less cluttered, and considerably shorter. It will look good with a dusting of snow — which is on the way. So get out there and do some fall pruning. Your trees and shrubs will look better all winter, and healthier next summer.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE TREASURE HUNT
Dear Donna, This jug has been used for collecting junk for years and was in my dad’s garage. Now it is in my home, and I am interested in your thoughts on a value. John from Hooksett Dear John, Let’s start by clarifying that a jug is a handled piece with a small opening at the top. A crock can be handled too, but on two sides, with a large opening at the top. So yours would be considered a crock. Norton Pottery made utilitarian stoneware, crocks, jugs, etc. They were out of Worcester, Massachusetts, and were around from the mid to late 1800s. Imagine a time when this crock had its everyday use within a home other than for collecting items. Ranging in many sizes from 1 gallon to 30 gallons, they were all used for different reasons, but mostly vegetables, pickles, lard, etc. I think some people still use them today for pickles and cabbage for making sauerkraut. And they still have a use today even if it’s for decorating or for catching collectable things. The value for them is all over the board depending on makers and the blue slip decoration on the front. Condition plays a part as well. The value of one like yours would be in

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK
Growling Jetta likely has a problem with its leak test pump Dear Car Talk: I have a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta with 140,000 miles on it. I bought it in 2009 with 20,000 miles on it. I’ve never had any major issues with the car. By Ray Magliozzi But within the past couple of weeks, it has started to make a “growling” noise when I turn the car off. It growls for about 10 seconds after it’s turned off, and then goes quiet. Any ideas what this might be and what it costs to have it fixed? — Leslie I think you might just be parking too close to the dog’s bed, Leslie. Try stopping a little sooner when you pull into the garage, and see if the growling stops. Actually, I think the growling is coming from your leak test pump. That’s part of the emissions system. There’s a pump in the back of the car, near the gas tank, that goes on right after you shut off the engine. It pumps for about 10 seconds to pressurize the fuel system. If it’s able to get the system up to full pressure in the allotted amount of time, the computer concludes that there are no leaks, and all is right with the world. If
it takes too long to pressurize the system, the computer concludes that there’s a leak somewhere, and it turns on your check engine light. I’m guessing that something’s wrong with your pump after a mere 140,000 miles. It’s always run after you’ve shut off the car. But now it’s making noise because the pump’s motor, or one of its bearings, is dying. Or maybe something close to the pump is now touching it and vibrating when the pump runs. You should be so lucky, Leslie. It’s obviously still working, because if not, it would have turned on your check engine light. So it’s not an emergency. But the noise suggests it’s likely to fail sooner rather than later. When you factor in diagnostic time, parts and labor, you’ll probably put out between $200 to $300 (and one growling noise) when it’s all over. Dear Car Talk: I have a 1991 Ford F150 with 183,000 miles on it. I’ve been using brand-name conventional oil in it since day one. So far, I’m not having any oil-related issues, but when I buy oil, I see specially blended oils for “high-mileage engines,” meaning engines with 80,000
miles or more on them. Is there any real benefit to using special high-mileage oils, or is it safe to continue with a quality, conventional oil that meets the latest Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards? — Steven Generally speaking, most people do not need a high-mileage oil. In the old days, when your car was burning oil, people would suggest that you add really thick molasseslike oil to the engine, like some 20W-50 weight glop. The idea was that the thicker oil wouldn’t flow as easily, and therefore would have a harder time seeping past worn-out valve guides and valve guide seals and getting into the cylinders, where it was getting burned. But — hello! — you want your oil to flow easily. Its job is to flow and splash, so it covers all of your moving parts and protects them. Plus, it rarely worked. A lot of oil-burning takes place because an engine’s piston rings are worn out, and thicker oil won’t fix that. Using thicker oil is also a particularly bad solution for modern cars. Not that you’re driving a particularly modern car, Steven, but let’s flatter it and call it modern for the sake of discussion. Modern engines rely on the exact
opposite of that 20W-50 glop. They use low-viscosity oils that splash easily all over the moving parts of the engine to make sure they’re all lubricated. They also count on low-viscosity oils to reduce friction and drag (the work of simply moving the engine parts through thicker oil), which improves mileage. If you look at the specs for new cars these days, they’re not calling for 20W-50 oils. They’re not even calling for 10W30 oils. They use 0W-20 synthetic oils. That means it acts like a zero-weight oil when the engine is cold and a 20-weight oil when the engine is hot. Some “high-mileage oils” now include an additive that’s supposed to help soften up hardened, leaky engine seals. So if one of your seals is leaking, you can try a high-mileage oil. But I wouldn’t expect it to perform miracles — any more than Geritol is going to suddenly get your great-grandfather back on the uneven parallel bars. Otherwise, I’d do exactly what you’re doing, and use the oil that the manufacturer recommends and that meets the current SAE standards. Or even consider a synthetic. Visit Cartalk.com.

FOOD Winter at the market
Enjoy local eats at a winter farmers market this season By Matt Ingersoll
News from the local food scene
mingersoll@hippopress.com
By Matt Ingersoll food@hippopress.com
It may still be fall, but local farmers markets are gearing up for their winter seasons, offering opportunities for you to discover locally grown and raised meats, poultry, fruits, vegetables and more indoors as the weather turns colder. Adrienne Colsia, who manages both of Milford’s farmers markets, summer and winter, said winter farmers markets are typically great spots to find locally grown root vegetables and comfort foods that can last a long time in your home, like beets, carrots, butternut squash, potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The Milford market, which started Nov. 3 and continues on Saturday, Nov. 17, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Milford Town Hall, also features soups, baked goods, maple candies, grass-fed meats and dairy products like eggs and goat milk. “We always want to keep the focus on local farms,” Colsia said. “[You can] get to know the owner and develop a relationship with them, and then they can grow or bring special things for you that week.” Many of the winter markets also feature live music and children’s games and activities on a regular basis. Here are some of the markets you can find in southern New Hampshire this season. • Canterbury Community Farmers Market will hold two indoor markets on Saturday, Nov. 17, and on Saturday, Dec. 15, both from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and in the gym at Canterbury Elementary School (15 Baptist Road).

New Italian flavors On the Corner Grill opens in Derry By Matt Ingersoll
mingersoll@hippopress.com

American comfort food with a classic Italian flair is what you’ll find at On the Corner Grill, a new eatery on Route 111 in Derry. The restaurant, which opened Nov. 2, offers an extensive lunch and dinner menu of appetizers, sandwiches, salads, pasta dishes and more, plus a fullservice bar. Co-owner Tara Kennedy and her fiance George Chiachio previously owned Buono Panini on South Broadway in Salem for six years but wanted to open a larger space with an expanded menu of food and drink offerings. Buono Panini closed its doors in late August. “A lot of customers kind of thought of us more as just like a sandwich place … but I wanted a different menu,” Kennedy said, “and my fiance wanted a bigger bar.” Nearly every menu item uses ingredients made from scratch. The lunch menu includes starters like daily hand cut and lightly breaded onion rings, boneless or bone-in wings (with your choice of plain, Buffalo or sweet chili sauce), or homemade arancini rice balls served with either a Bolognese or with zucchini, squash and carrots. Other staples include salads; there is a classic house salad, a Cobb salad, a Caesar salad, and specialty options like the OTC Salad (made with mixed greens, tomato, roasted pineapple, mango, portobello mushrooms, dried cranberries, onions, cucumbers, olives, goat cheese and balsamic vinaigrette dressing). Sandwiches like marinated pulled pork with coleslaw, shaved steak with cheese, mushrooms, peppers and onion, and chicken Parmesan with fresh mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce are also available, as well as grilled paninis like a caprese, a Cajun chicken, a turkey BLT, a hot pastrami and Swiss and an eggplant Parmesan. All paninis can be served as a half sandwich with a cup of soup or a side salad; soups include minestrone, Italian wedding (mini meatballs with mixed veggies) and stracciatella alla romano (Italian egg drop soup). The dinner menu has a variety of new items as well, according to Kennedy, like bacon-wrapped scallops with a honey glaze, and stuffed portobello mushrooms with spinach, crab and mozzarella cheese as appetizers. Featured entrees include pastas like rigatoni Bolognese, chicken and broc-

coli ziti, fettuccine alfredo and baked cheese or butternut squash ravioli; risottos like steak tip, shrimp and pesto, wild mushroom, seafood or vegetable; seafood dishes like pan-seared salmon, linguine with clams, mussels and calamari and baked haddock; meat dishes like chicken or veal saltimbocca, Marsala, piccata or francese; and side options available a la carte like sauteed garlic spinach, garlic green beans, asparagus and roasted or mashed potatoes. A full-service bar with dozens of assorted wines, draft and bottled beers, and specialty cocktails is available. There is also a small menu of specialty espresso drinks. Kennedy said the 80-seat restaurant takes its name from being on the corner of the new Cowbell Corner plaza, launched earlier this year. The complex also houses a nail salon and other office buildings. “It was originally going to be called Tara’s Place, but I thought ‘On the Corner’ would be catchier,” she said. “Our staff even wear shirts that say ‘I work on the corner.’”

White Cheddar Mac and Cheese Macaroni and cheese is one of my alltime guilty pleasures. I love making it from scratch, but I usually fall prey to the simplicity of a boxed version that I know my kids will love. This white cheddar version, however, proved to be a big hit with my picky eaters and will likely be seeing a lot of table time this fall and winter. I’ve typically stuck to yellow cheddar or colby jack versions of macaroni and cheese in the past, especially if I was making it in my slow cooker. But after a recent trip to a local restaurant, and sneaking bites of white cheddar mac and cheese off my daughter’s plate, I decided I had to find a recipe for a similar version. This recipe is incredibly simple. The longest step is waiting for the water to boil to cook the macaroni. I was also a big fan of the quick prep, since the recipe called for cubing the cheese instead of shredding it — which saved me a chunk of time in the kitchen, however minimal. Plus, the recipe is beyond pantry-friendly.

A pinch of dry mustard and some salt and pepper are all that round out this ingredient list, allowing the white cheddar to really shine. I went a step further and baked the finished macaroni with a crispy bread crumb topping, but next time I’m thinking I might throw in some bacon, or even some fresh green onion to really bring this recipe to the next level. Creating the roux will be key to the success of the recipe. I know from plenty of experience with sauces and gravies that a lumpy roux can easily lead to a clumpy sauce and the flavor of uncooked flour in every other bite. Roux missteps aside, this recipe is simple to pull off in a pinch and would make a great side for any upcoming holiday potlucks. It’s creamy and delicious and has just enough flavor to stand on its own while serving as a complement to a more elaborate meal. — Lauren Mifsud

You want to drink beer, but you need room for turkey By Jeff Mucciarone food@hippopress.com
Thanksgiving is glorious. There’s an endless stream of rich, delicious food and an equally endless stream of football. You need beer to wash down all that food and pigskin. But doing it right is easier said than done. You want beer to complement the day’s riches, not take away from it or otherwise bog you down. Everything about Thanksgiving is extremely rich, dense and heavy on carbohydrates: buttery mashed potatoes, tender stuffing, thick and rich sweet potatoes and rivers of gravy — not to mention the pies. In terms of flavor, a big, malty stout or porter is a perfect match for the big day’s menu — notes of coffee, chocolate, toffee and caramel mesh perfectly with the day’s spread. However, you do not have room in your stomach for a stout, at least not right off the bat. You’ve got to think lighter. You’ve got to strategize. Good news: I’ve done the strategizing for you.

girth. Now would also be the time to grab an Oktoberfest-style brew, such as Konstantin by Schilling Beer Co. in Littleton.
Dessert
Have some scotch. Just kidding. Sort of. You’re going to be full; you’ll need to walk away from the table. Go outside. Let the cold, crisp late November air smack you in the face. Walk around a little bit and let your system digest. Beer aside, this is basic Thanksgiving survival. When dessert hits the table, you have a couple options. One is to hold off on beer. You might still be too full. That’s OK. But if you’re up for one, now might be the time to slowly sip a chocolate or coffee stout. Grab a Lithermans Limited Ground Control Stout, made with locally brewed, cold brew coffee or the Oreo-infused Cake from Beara Brewing Co. in Portsmouth. Better yet, split one of these brews with a willing family member. A bite of apple pie followed by a smooth coffee stout is a beautiful thing. If you’re a fan of pumpkin beers, such as the Pumpkin Porter by Ipswich Ale Brewery, of course that’s a delightful pairing with pumpkin pie. Now, hit the couch. You should be all set.
You’re standing around snacking on cheese and crackers and shrimp cocktail, and you’re probably eating a lot more of those things than you think you are. (And, let’s be honest, you passed on the veggie plate.) Cured meats, cheese and shrimp are calorie-rich (and delicious) and they fill you up quickly, so keep that in mind when choosing your beverage. Choose a brew on the lighter side, such as pilsners, farmhouse ales, session IPAs or saisons, which can be particularly interesting with their often earthy spiciness. A few choices that do not sacrifice flavor: West End Session IPA by Great Rhythm Brewing in Portsmouth, Country Mile Dry-hopped Farmhouse Ale by Great North Aleworks in Manchester or the Nebraska Saison by Earth Eagle BrewJeff Mucciarone is a senior account ings in Concord. executive with Montagne Communications, where he provides communications support to the New Hampshire wine and spirits The meal Any of the styles above are perfect for the industry. meal itself, but I like just a touch more richness.

email asykeny@hippo-
This New York City-based jazz trio offers a Brubeck vibe of sorts, one that has a lot of modern sizzle added to it but maintains the sort of café-ambient overtone that settles the mind right down. The backstory goes way back, 25 or so years actually, when pianist Goldberg first started jamming with drummer Leon Parker; a magic of sorts happened, but Parker decided to abandon ship and went off to do … whatever jazz drummers do when they’re not jazzily drumming. The Parker-less Goldberg went on to join such combos as Wynton Marsalis’ and Al Foster’s, until they finally regrouped five years ago at a French chateau. One of the selling points of this one revolves around the legendary-ness of Parker’s talents as a drummer and percussionist, but with Brubeck heavily in the air a lot of attention to subtlety is involved by necessity. Does Parker deliver? I suppose, but bassist Matt Penman gets just as much, if not more, space, really. Either way, Goldberg, with his uncanny flutters and dekes, is the big draw, no question.

This is the ninth release from this DIY synth-pop goddess, a Berliner who’s also the owner of the Dark Skies indie label. I can’t say that I had a life-changing listening experience with this, but certainly she’s on the right track (at least for the current zeitgeist), tossing Bananarama, Roxette and [place name of John Waters-movie-backgroundist here] in a crock and setting the heat to low. That’s not to say the hookage isn’t there; the songs are haunting little earworms that border on Siouxsie on the vocal end, heralding the beginning of a livable winter (“Out of the Blue”), or a more-than-listenable Au Revoir Simone in downbeat mode (“Serious Flowers”). What does all this mean? Well, if you like everything about ’80s teen movie soundtracks and can handle too much reverb and some borderline offkey singing (I never said she was perfect), then this would be your ticket. I don’t expect this to take over the world at any point, but it’s bleeding edge for what it is, like it or lump it. B+ — Eric W. Saeger

• Watch and learn as mumbling hayseed-hipsters Mumford & Sons continue seeking indie relevance while laboring under the influence of corporate wheedlers with a new album, Delta, due Nov. 16! I liked them more during their Who The Heck Are These Guys phase, when they weren’t so polished. Sure, every music reviewer is bound by The Code (there is no Code) to say stuff like that, but in this case it’s pertinent. I’d whine some more just to procrastinate, but there is no escape; I need to go see if this new LP has something better to offer than 2015’s Wilder Mind, which The Secret Music Critic Cabal (there is no Cabal) gave a comparatively horrifying aggregate score of 54. Oh, let’s get it over with, for Pete’s sake, and listen to the single, “Guiding Light.” The first minute or so sounds like Grizzly Bear covering U2’s “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” The chorus would be a bridge part in a real song. Whichever Followill who sings is mumbling. I’m going to call them Mumbling U2 & Sons from now on, unless the Cabal has any objections? No? Good. • I don’t honestly know if Mariah Carey is still relevant or is nowadays just a frequent flying guest-clown on morning soccer-mom shows like Ellen, but either way, she has a new record coming out, titled Caution! I wonder, do any of you fans know if she still does the dog-whistle-singing trick, which I still insist was done with special effects? You know, that shtick where she sings so high that your tween loses the ability to hear you tell them to shut off the smartphone and come eat dinner like normal families of the 1950s? Right, procrastinating, let’s guess what the single “The Distance feat Ty Dolla $ign” will sound like. I’m going with Salt n Pepa doing trap-hop, what about you? Abject misery, take me away! HmM, a cheerleader chant, that’s new, isn’t it? Here comes some microwaved diva warbling with heavy effects — it’s basically snap-dance with a drumbeat from Tears for Fears… wait, there’s the trap drums, I can move along now. • What about Smashing Pumpkins, aren’t they retro-relevant these days, viewed in the same nostalgic, beloved way we older people used to regard Burl Ives The Singing Snowman? Whatever the case, they have a new LP coming to you retro kids, and it is called Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun. Here’s a song, “Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts),” that we can discuss. Sounds like Foo Fighters a little, except with whatsisname doing that… that Urkel singing of his. It’s totally commercial grunge, is what it is, how adorable can you get? • Other People’s Stuff is the upcoming new one from hack-wedding-band god John Mellencamp, who definitely should have stayed John Cougar because come on, “Mellencamp?” Oh great, I’ve got nothing here, because he wanted to “shroud this album in mystery.” I hate when they do that. By the title, my fellow Sherlocks, it’s safe to assume that it’s all cover songs. We can also deduce that he won’t cover an Insane Clown Posse song, and furthermore, I will never think about this album again, my dear Watsons. — Eric W. Saeger

Convention celebrates Japanese animation and culture
Friday, Nov. 23rd to Saturday, Dec. 1st
By Angie Sykeny
asykeny@hippopress.com
A celebration of Japanese animation and culture and other pop culture fandom, Another Anime Convention returns Friday, Nov. 16, through Sunday, Nov. 18, to Nashua, featuring special guests, panels, a cosplay contest, an artist alley, games and more. Organizers started Another Anime Convention 13 years ago to give people in northern New England an alternative to the larger Anime Boston convention. “They wanted a convention that people could get to more easily, that was more personable and friendly and had that hometown feel,” vice chairman Jessica Gavriel said. The term anime refers specifically to a style of Japanese animation that started becoming popular in the mainstream in the 1980s. A lot of anime is derived from Japanese comic books and graphic novels known as manga. “From the beginning, Japanese animation has been known for having great characters and a good storyline that adults could also appreciate, whereas American cartoons were mainly for children and didn’t have those things,” Gavriel said. The special guests attending the convention are voice actors, directors and producers from the anime industry, including Ian Sinclair, who has worked on DragonBall Z, One Piece, Space Dandy and more; Chuck Huber, best known for his roles in YuYu Hakusho and Soul Eater; J. Michael Tatum of Ouran High School Host Club, Black Butler and, most recently, My Hero Academia; and Brandon McInnis, who has voiced for Black Clover, Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card, and Gamers. Boston-based cosplay duo Cowbutt Crunchies Cosplay will also be there. The special guests along with other anime and pop culture experts will host a number of educational panels on topics such as Japanese language and culture, convention-going, manga, gaming and cosplay. “If people have an interest in a specific anime or topic, they can get together with other people who share that interest and discuss it and hear from the experts,” Gavriel said. People who come in costume as a character from an anime or another movie, television show, comic or video game, can enter the costume contest on Saturday. “Making your own costume is a big thing in our community,” Gavriel said. “People put a lot of work and effort into it, so they’ll be judged on their craftsmanship and can win prizes.” Attendees can also participate in a number of classic game show games with an anime twist, like “Are You Smarter than a Weaboo?” “Whose Line is it Anime?,” “Name That Anime Tune,” “Who Wants to Be a Mil-

lionaire: Anime Style” and more. “We’re making the game shows bigger and better this year,” Gavriel said. “They really get the excitement going, and there’s always amazing prizes like anime merchandise and gift cards and tickets to next year’s convention, so we really love to do the game shows.” In the Artist Alley, artists and vendors from all over the East Coast will sell original prints, manga, plushies and other anime merchandise. An arts and crafts station will have projects going on throughout the weekend, including making tiny hats, making frilly Lolita headbands, steampunk crafts, basic plastic painting, Pokemon gardens, balloon twisting, making amigurumi (the Japanese art of knitted or crocheted stuffed creatures), model building and more. Additionally, there will be a manga library where people can read manga and comics, and several video game tournaments, including Super Smash Brothers, Dragon Ball Z and BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. Other special events include a formal gala on Friday night and an informal dance on Saturday night. Though anime fandom is often included in comic conventions, Another Anime Convention is a unique opportunity to celebrate the genre on a deeper level. “Comic cons are more industry-based, but we have the panels and events and games that actually focus on anime and Japanese culture,” Gavriel said. “People who are into anime can come and be free to do anime things without judgment.”

If there ever were a perfect time to lament the futility of advancing from support-level jobs, now is the time to publish that story. Middle-class millennials were told that going to fouryear colleges would secure them steady careers, but as the decades have worn on, all it has guaranteed is tens of thousands of dollars of debt that is getting increasingly difficult to pay off. Brittany Terwilliger’s The Insatiables may have been written as a satire about corporations, but its perspective of an entrylevel protagonist feels startlingly true to life. Halley Faust wants a life that expands outside of her Dayton, Ohio, upbringing, a desire her family tries to chastise her out of wanting. She has a job; why doesn’t she want to settle down like her sister? Why does she think she’s better than her relatives who came before her? It does not take an English major to figure out that Halley’s pursuit of a promotion is no better than a deal with the devil. The story begins with Halley and her best friend Celeste in the trenches of office politics. This is best summed up with the catch-22, “As Service Staff, you were supposed to keep events like this running smoothly. But you had no authority to do it.” Terwilliger spins comical details that will feel familiar to anyone who has ever worked in a cubicle. There are bosses sulking over everything from coffee machines to grand entrances on hang gliders. There are petty squabbles about choice assignments and getting recognized for hours spent on menial tasks. There are rumors about the special accommodations made for certain higher-ups during company conferences. Terwilliger will make readers want to laugh to keep from crying, or at least turn to someone and say, “Can you believe this guy?” But the good will and camaraderie between Halley and Celeste are quickly set aside when their boss announces that they

will be competing for the same promotion (and subsequent relocation to Paris). Before she even realizes she’s doing it, Halley betrays Celeste, altering the course of both of their lives forever. Though Halley receives the promotion that she had never thought possible, she finds that her work in France is just as frustrating. Readers will feel the impossibility of Halley’s task as she tries to help launch a product appropriately called the Tantalus. The completion of this project feels continuously out of reach as the rest of her team is seduced by the French countryside and fails to complete its share of the work. Suddenly, everything Halley has ever wanted is no longer enough. She wants to get promoted again. She wants to be with a man who is not only one of her company’s most important clients, but married. As a middle-class white woman, she thinks her American dream is yet again just out of her grasp, but what she considers as “settling” (steady income and a supportive family back in Ohio) would be dream enough for anyone in less fortunate circumstances. How could someone who is lucky enough to be paid to live abroad lament their lot in life? Though Terwilliger’s plots of backstabbing corporate ladder-climbing and infidelity are a bit predictable, there’s something satisfying about a plot that ties together in a neat bow at the end. Because Halley is power-hungry in her work and her relationships, she has to decide where she draws the line of how far she is willing to bend her moral compass. The Insatiables falls down the well-worn path of “absolute power corrupts absolutely,” but there’s a reason that readers return to this storyline again and again. Readers don’t want to believe that they will betray their oldest friends to get a leg up in the rat race. Readers want to see that a protagonist will do the morally right thing before the corruption gets too far. Readers want to believe that they will know when they are content with what they have.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch (PG)
The green mean one can’t take the excesses of Christmas in Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch, a new animated adaptation of the classic.
Even from his hilltop home, The Grinch (voice of Benedict Cumberbatch) feels barraged by Christmas — Christmas carols on his radio, Christmas decorations covering the nearby village of Whoville. He is horrified when he sees the skyscraper-sized tree brought in for the town’s official tree lighting, and when he tries to lob a snowball at it he ends up stuck in its branches and surrounded by soul-crushing holiday cheer. The moment is so shocking to him that it brings him back to another moment, years ago, when he spent Christmas in the orphanage cold and alone. Thus does the Grinch decide to steal Christmas — specifically by going from house to house on Christmas Eve and taking all the presents and trimmings of the holiday. Meanwhile — because even at only 90 minutes the Grinch and his situation wouldn’t quite fill a whole feature film — we meet Cindy-Lou (voice of Cameron Seely), a plucky Who child, and her exhausted mom, Donna Who (voice of Rashida Jones). A single mom and night doctor or nurse, Donna is a constant whirl trying to take care of Cindy and her twin baby brothers. Cindy-Lou is desperate to ask Santa Claus for some help for her mom. When a letter she writes to him goes awry, she decides to attempt that most kid of challenges — trap Santa when he comes to her house so she can have a heartfelt conversation with him. And so, as the Grinch looks for reindeer and a Santa suit to pull off his Christmas Eve theft, Cindy-Lou and her friends work on cookie-based trapping mechanisms to capture the Claus. Helping us navigate these storylines is the narrator Pharrell Williams. Rounding out the cast are Kenan Thompson, as a neighbor who won’t let the Grinch not be friends with him, and Angela Lansbury adding twinkle to her very few lines (maybe just line?) as the Whoville mayor.
AT THE MULTIPLEX
The Grinch.
Benedict Cumberbatch turns out to be more than stunt casting for the parents in the audience. He brings a combination of playful naughtiness, dry sass and genuine feeling to the character. His Grinch is less of a villain and more of a grump nursing an old hurt and that’s actually fine for fun kids’ entertainment. I rarely show my kids a movie I haven’t seen first but I took my daughter to this one and was relieved to find that it was exactly what was advertised — a rompy movie with kindness underpinning the pratfalls. The animation has a nice roundness to it — that computer-generated look that is not Claymation but has at times the look of physical things in a space. This is particularly pleasing in the roundy, tipsy world of Dr. Seuss illustrations. The Grinch’s homes are full of his inventions that capture the spirit of that Seuss look. There is a general good-natured quality to this story that makes it a very easy bit of family entertainment and not, as far as I could tell, too scary or too chatty in a way that would bore the youngest part of the audience. And the animal goofiness (the Grinch has a cute and loyal dog, Max, and, briefly, a hungry reindeer he calls Fred) is enough to keep the movie’s energy up (to quote the critical six-year-old I saw the movie with, that dog was very funny).

The Grinch is solid seasonal entertainment with enough laughs and just enough “Christmas isn’t about stuff” to make this holiday cookie both wholesome and enjoyable. B Rated PG for rude humor, according to the MPAA. Directed by Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier with a screenplay by Michael LeSieur and Tommy Swerdlow (based on How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss), Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch is an hour and 30 minutes long and distributed by Universal Studios.
The Girl in the Spider’s Web (R)
Computer hacker Lisbeth Salander returns in The Girl in the Spider’s Web, a movie based on the book based on Stieg Larsson’s characters but written by David Lagercrantz.
Salander (Claire Foy) has spent her time since the end of the Swedish book/film trilogy basically being Lady Batman (in either sense). She investigates bad men and then exacts vengeance. As the present-day section of our story begins, she emerges out of the darkness in the sleek Stockholm apartment of some rich jerk who just beat his wife.

She strings him up, steals his money to give to the women he’s wronged, tases him a few times, tells his wife to escape with their child and then blackmails him into leaving his victims alone. So this is Lisbeth’s hobby, I guess? Her forpay work still appears to be hacking-based, which is how she gets an assignment from Frans Balder (Stephen Merchant), a software developer. He created a program for the American NSA that allows its user to control all the world’s nuclear weapons systems. Sometime between finishing the project and now, he decided the software was a terrible creation and he wants it back. Lisbeth steals it but the theft alerts NSA agent Ed Needham (Lakeith Stanfield), who comes to Sweden to retrieve it. Needham isn’t the only one seeking it, though. Men rob and firebomb Lisbeth’s apartment, stealing the program from her. Being chased by multiple groups, Salander turns to old friend, the journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Sverrir Gudnason), for help in figuring out who robbed her and why. Blomkvist is apparently suffering from writer’s block, which happens to all of us but might in his case be a symptom of dramatically aging backward from the late actor Michael Nyqvist, who was about 49 when he played the character last in 2009, and the at-the-time 43-year-old Daniel Craig who played him in the American version in 2011. Gudnason is 40 but if you told me he was 32 I would also believe that. Speaking of the past not entirely fitting with the present, Lisbeth also has a sister, Camilla (Sylvia Hoeks), and maybe they mentioned her in previous iterations of this universe and maybe they didn’t but it all feels very glommed on, Brady Bunch’s Cousin Oliver/Dawn on Buffy the Vampire Slayerstyle. (But, like, if Dawn or Cousin Oliver had a monstrous childhood and turned into a psychopath.) Trying to remember what I was supposed to know about Salander — which gave me that “forgot to do my homework” sense of uneasiness — did not equal big movie-watching fun.
ballet-class attendees in the audience) and some fun playing with the elements of the familiar story and music. The movie wanders around a bit in its final third, but it was a pleasant viewing experience. B Nobody’s Fool (R) Tiffany Haddish, Whoopi Goldberg. I mention those two actresses because they are the most compelling element of writerdirector Tyler Perry’s rom-ish/
com-ish movie but they actually aren’t at the center of the action and the story suffers for that. Tika Sumpter plays the professional woman whose ideas about her ideal man feel cartoonishly unrealistic. The movie is at its best in scenes where Haddish just lets loose. I hope there are outtakes of her character hitting on Catfish’s Max and Nev with increasingly descriptive vulgarity until they crack up; I would have preferred that to this unfocused tale. C

Overlord (R)
American soldiers are tasked with blowing up a communications tower in preparation for the D-Day landing in Overlord, a World War II action movie with a splash of monsters.
Private Boyce (Jovan Adepo) is a paratrooper dropped into France the evening before the Allied beach invasion. After his plane is shot down and most of his squad dies, Boyce finds himself wandering the countryside before meeting up with a collection of stock World War II movie soldier characters: the chatty city guy Tibbet (John Magaro), Army photographer Chase (Iain De Caestecker) and Corporal Ford (Wyatt Russell), the grizzled veteran of Allied fighting in Italy. They happen upon local Chloe (Mathilde Ollivier), who is hunting rabbits and stealing stuff from dead soldiers. She helps them hide by taking them back to the house where she lives with her young brother, Paul (Gianny Taufer), because it’s good to have a kid who can be imperiled later, and her aunt, who is in her bedroom making some very strange-sounding coughs. From Chloe’s house the gang tries to regroup and figure out a plan for this very small complement of soldiers to attack the tower they’ve been sent to disable. The radio tower is inside the grounds of a local church that has been turned into a German army base. While they plan, a Nazi army captain (Pilou Asbæk; Euron Greyjoy, for when you spend minutes thinking “why do I recognize him?”) shows up for what is clearly a regular visit with Chloe, for which he repays her by not murdering Paul. Boyce isn’t the kind of guy who can sit by while a woman is attacked, so (because Boyce also can’t kill the captain) the Nazi becomes another problem the American squad has to deal with — and deal with fast before the Allied troops hit the beach in a matter of hours. The special sauce of this movie comes when Boyce sneaks into the church and finds out exactly what’s going on there. The radio tower is the least of the Allied army’s problems. The Nazis are running strange experiments with some kind of ooze from beneath the church. Boyce sees dead bod-

Bleak Art Photography: The Movie or Edgy Perfume Ads: The Movie are some potential alternate titles for this movie. With its white-black-gray-blue muted color palette (giving the occasional reds a chance to really pop), Spider’s Web looks really cool. But it also feels really cold, in the sense of no characters generating any heat, whether it’s romantic heat or just, like, rage and vengeance. And despite its chase sequences and action scenes, the movie also chugs along at what feels like a needlessly slow pace. I checked the time about 30 minutes in and was surprised that it hadn’t been more like an hour. Performance-wise, most of the characters feel like constructed primarily of hair, makeup and wardrobe choices. (OK, I liked Lakeith Stanfield. He didn’t get a lot to do but he seemed like he was trying to bring as much to it as possible, perhaps hoping for a bigger role in the sequel if they make another one of these.) Claire Foy is the only actor really put in the spotlight and she’s... fine? Foy doesn’t bring anything radically different from Noomi Rapace’s or Rooney Mara’s version of this character — for good or for ill. The whole movie feels like a lesser version of this universe, more about setting and appearance (and maybe establishing a franchise?) than recreating the kind of twisty dark mystery-solving that I sort of remember from the very first one. When Salander is tasing the movie’s initial jerk and Robin-Hooding away his cash to help his victims, the movie is at its most lively and purposeful. This is where Spider’s Web feels the most connected to the sense of the Salander character we might have going in. Perhaps a movie that focused more on her vigilantism (bringing in Blomkvist as a sympathetic but more legally inclined partner) could have recaptured still dark but more lively mystery elements of the series. C Rated R for violence, language and some sexual content/nudity, according to the MPAA. Directed by Fede Alvarez with a screenplay by Jay Basu & Fede Alvarez and Steven Knight (from the book by David Lagercrantz), The Girl in the Spider’s Web is an hour and 57 minutes long and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

ies injected with red serum, people cocooned in womb-like sacks and even a disembodied head that appeared to still be alive. So, like, Marvel’s Hydra-style Nazis. The monster element adds a level of creepiness, I guess, to the story about a war where we know the outcome. But I think the movie would have worked just fine focused solely on a scrappy group of soldiers against nonsupernatural Nazis because Nazis are an unambiguously evil villain. Likewise, Jovan Adepo’s Boyce is a solid hero, even if he is overlaid with some modern squeamishness about when beating someone up is OK that doesn’t quite fit with the time and circumstance. He is thoughtful and kind, brave and heroic. Perhaps the most interesting part about Adepo’s character is that he feels like a
good test run for bigger things for this actor, which I would be excited about. This isn’t a complex movie asking us to consider moral quandaries. Overlord’s mission as a movie is simple: blow up the thing to help with D-Day, protect the pretty lady and the kid, defeat the Nazis. Require anything else and the movie will let you down. But if two hours of World War II-themed rollercoastering is all you require, Overlord succeeds and with an adequate amount of suspense. BRated R for strong bloody violence, disturbing images, language and brief sexual content, according to the MPAA. Directed by Julius Avery with a screenplay by Billy Ray and Mark L. Smith, Overlord is an hour and 49 minutes long and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Megadeth bassist’s Storytellers evening By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
• Above average Joe: Not exactly a tribute band, Mad Dogs Unchained includes players who accompanied Joe Cocker back in the day — Deric Dyer, Cliff Goodwin and Mitch Chakour. Beyond that, the seven-member group convincingly recreates the late singer’s sound, from his Woodstock days to hits like “Up Where We Belong” and “Unchain My Heart.” Thursday, Nov. 15, 7:30 p.m., Dana Center, 100 Saint Anselm Drive, Manchester. Tickets are $40 at stanselm.edu. • Make anything music: For the members of U.K. sensation JunNk, everything from soda bottles to a flip-flop whipped against a PVC pipe can be musical. Their rubbish-powered variety show is funny, fresh and full of surprisingly good music — the a cappella singing alone is worth a ticket. The group was named Spirit of the Fringe at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Thursday, Nov. 15, 7 p.m., Stockbridge Theatre, 5 Pinkerton St., Derry. Tickets $10-$25 at stockbridgetheatre.com. • Big screen laughs: Enjoy comedy in a cinemaplex with Jody Sloane, Pat Napoli and Tricia Auld telling jokes at an event cheekily billed as Comedy in IMAX. Sloane is a terrific standup who got her start leading Duck Boat Tours in Boston. Napoli has been doing comedy for nine years, opening for Howie Mandel, Dane Cook and Bill Burr. Auld first gained notice with her blog, nevermoresingle.com. Saturday, Nov. 17, 9 p.m., Cinemagic, 1226 Hooksett Road, Hooksett. Tickets $20 at headlinerscomedyclub.com. • Songs of hope: A respite from election fatigue and the holiday run-up, Joyce Andersen & Harvey Reid offer a program of uplifting music in a church with great acoustics. “We will take a deep breath and turn towards songs of peace and joy,” the couple promises. “We never seem to have enough room for them in our Christmas concerts, and they feel strong this time of year.” Sunday, Nov. 18, 7 p.m., Congregational Church, 881 First NH Turnpike, Northwood. Call 608-8627. • Another Dead night: Every performance by Dark Star Orchestra is a trip in the wayback machine, as the band recreates a Grateful Dead setlist song by song. Formed in Chicago over 20 years ago, they’re more than a tribute act; every living Dead member has joined them at some point. The loca date is truly authentic — it’s a general admission show. Wednesday, Nov. 21, 7 p.m., Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S. Main St., Concord. Tickets $34 at ccanh.com.
For fans of Megadeth, David Ellefson’s Basstory storytelling tour is a deep dive into the heavy metal heroes’ music and history. Ellefson came up with the idea as the band celebrated its 35th anniversary; fans sent photos of him playing various basses over the years. “I realized that inside of every bass there’s a story,” he said. He created a hashtag — #everybasshasastory — and asked for more pictures. The morphed into a tour that’s traveled all the way to Europe and stops in Manchester Friday, Nov. 16. Ellefson recently talked about Basstory by phone from his home in Arizona.

Describe a typical Bassstory evening. I start off with usually one or two Megadeth songs that people know me by — “Holy Wars” or maybe “Mary Jane’” — some things that people are familiar with, but also some things that are pretty intense ... that sets in motion the storytelling. I start to do a Q&A … that’s almost 30 to 40 minutes of the evening right there. Then I like to bring up a drummer, sometimes from one of the support bands. … Here on this run coming up we have Bumblefoot and Dead By Wednesday, so I figure we’re gonna utilize in-house talent. ... I like to do a drum and bass display where we riff through a handful of drum and bass riffs and maybe even songs. Some of the stuff we can make up on the fly, some of the stuff is maybe songs that people are already familiar with from the Megadeth catalog. So you go from solo to a full group? Basically, I build a band on stage. Drums, singer, guitar player, another guitar player [and] you go from hearing the bass at its most raw to hearing where that bass fits into an ensemble going into an entire song as you would hear it played live. It’s really an interesting little showcase to watch that happen, because most people turn on an MP3 or go to a concert and see the whole band play. That’s all you hear. But to really break down the details of these compositions and songs and to see the musical interaction is a really special part of Basstory.

Yeah. I never set out to be a solo artist so it’s kind of interesting that this many years into my professional career I get the opportunity to create an evening that allows me to take it wherever I want it to go. Some of these I’ve laid out my own personal riffs and little ideas that are able to be evolved by the other musicians who join me on stage to do our own improvisational musical moments, and I think at its core I’m a musician, I’m a bass player, I’m a songwriter, I’m a recording artist, I’m all those things that are kind of obvious, but I think probably right next to that I’m a communicator. It’s why I like to write books, why I’ve written columns, why I like doing blogs and ‘every bass has a story’ hashtag — I like to communicate. I grew up a fan myself, as I think most of us have, and when our passions turn into a profession, what’s kept it fun for me is always kind of be that little teenager inside who’s still a fan.
what thrash metal was, this convergence of the speed, angst and aggression of punk rock combined with the musical dexterity, riffs and progressions of a heavy metal song. To bring the punks, skinheads and metalheads together on one campus to unite — that was a first. There was such an energy around it. The fact that it didn’t just explode or implode, but it actually turned into something of a much greater gravity is a humbling realization all these years later.
Here’s a Basstory type question: What’s a guilty pleasure of yours that would surprise a Megadeth fan? ABBA. When I was a kid and first getting into hearing rock and roll on the radio, I was maybe 9 or 10 years old. … ABBA was on the radio and I loved their songs and their melody. It’s so funny, now I listen to an ABBA record and it sounds like a musical. I understand it in an entirely different scope as a writer and It’s Megadeth’s 35th anniversary — arranger myself. But sometimes that’s what do you think of the band’s legacy my guilty pleasure — when I’m flying this far in? around the world, I put on my ABBA Gold I’m certainly very humbled by it, to be box set. honest with you. Because when we starting this it was such a brash rowdy almost David Ellefson’s Basstory violent genre, because we were the first generation. ... I’ll include the Big Four When: Friday, Nov. 16, 8 p.m. Where: Jewel Music Venue, 61 Canal St., — Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth Manchester … who grew up with both heavy metal Tickets: $20-$25 at ticketfly.com and punk rock records.

With the advent of driverless cars, new questions are being raised about a wide range of potential traffic situations. One example: What happens when police pull over an autonomous vehicle? According to The Washington Post, the company whose cars are now zipping around Phoenix is one car-length ahead of us: Alphabet’s Waymo cars (Chrysler Pacifica minivans) will use “sensors to identify police or emergency vehicles by detecting their appearance, their sirens and their emergency lights,” the company’s “Emergency Response Guide” explains. “The Waymo vehicle is designed to pull over and stop when it finds a safe place to do so.” Next, the car will unlock its doors and roll down its windows, allowing the police officer to communicate with a remote support team. The company will even send a human representative to the scene if necessary. So relax and enjoy the ride. Hal will take care of you.

Kids at Pierre Part Primary school in Pierre Part, Louisiana, thought they knew what to expect during Red Ribbon Week, an annual alcohol awareness program, but a school administrator threw them a curveball, reported WBRZ-TV. Rachel Turley, 49, assistant principal at the school, was on her way to work on Oct. 29 when other motorists reported that she was driving dangerously on Highway 70. Officers caught up with her at the school and took her to a police substation, where they determined her blood alcohol content was .224, nearly three times the legal limit of .08. She was charged with DWI and careless operation. “The fact that she chose to do this on the Monday of Red Ribbon Week is a slap in the face,” commented Niki Lacoste, grandparent of a Pierre Part student.
Surprise!
A homeowner in Upper Tantallon, Nova Scotia, received an unsettling phone call from a neighbor on Oct. 16, saying there were two strangers in her house. The door had been left unlocked so a neighbor could walk the dog, CTVNews reported, and police expected to find that the home had been “cleaned out,” said Nova Scotia Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesperson Cpl. Dal Hutchinson. Instead, the two women inside the house had cleaned UP — they were employees of a cleaning company and had gone to the wrong address. They left without realizing their mistake. Hutchinson praised the neighbor for being so observant and noted the silver lining: The house was cleaned for free.

Election roundup
• An Independence, Missouri, city councilman who was not on the Nov. 6 ballot managed to let his temper get away from him that morning at a church polling station. Witnesses told KSHB-TV that councilman Tom Van Camp was in the parking lot of the church when another man yelled at him, “Tom Van Camp, you SOB!” Witness Lee Williams said the man then approached Van Camp, and the next time she looked up, Van Camp and the man were “down there on the grass and they’re punching each other. I was just shocked to see my councilman in a fist fight.” A voter called police, who responded, but both men had already left the scene in separate vehicles. Van Camp is under fire in Independence for spending public money on personal travel. He is up for re-election in 2020. • The Associated Press reported on Nov. 7 that Virginia’s 5th Congressional District has a new Republican representative, Denver Riggleman, who beat Democrat Leslie Cockburn despite Cockburn’s suggestion in July that Riggleman was unfit for the office because of a Bigfoot erotica book he had written, “The Mating Habits of Bigfoot and Why Women Want Him.” While Riggleman is indeed the author of “Bigfoot Exterminators Inc.: The Partially Cautionary, Mostly True Tale of Monster Hunt 2006,” he says the erotica book was a joke among himself and buddies from the military.
dispute with her mother. The daughter, a vegan, threatened her mother with stabbing after the mother prepared Bolognese meat sauce. The daughter told the court she had long avoided sensory and olfactory contact with animal products before moving back in with her mother, but the Telegraph reports, there had been an escalation of aggression between the two women, and apparently the longsimmering sauce was the last straw. “If you won’t stop on your own then I’ll make you stop,” the March 2016 complaint quoted the daughter saying as she grabbed a knife. “Quit making ragu, or I’ll stab you in the stomach.”
Bright ideas
David Weaver, 37, of Nelson, British Columbia, glibly avoided becoming dinner for 14 sharks at Toronto’s Ripley Aquarium on Oct. 12 after stripping naked and jumping into a 3-million-liter tank and swimming about as other patrons looked on and recorded his stunt. Weaver arrived around 10 p.m. and quickly climbed to an overlook of the “Dangerous Lagoon,” where the sharks and other animals are displayed. Onlookers exclaimed as he made several attempts to climb out of the tank, exposing both his front and back sides. “I thought he was a worker until I noticed he was naked,” said one witness. The sharks “seemed angry but also frightened of him. They are fed daily, so I guess they had no reason to attack him.” The National Post reported police also connected Weaver to an assault a few hours earlier outside the nearby Medieval Times dinner theater.
