The Christian period of Lent slips rather unobtrusively into our public awareness these days under cover of other distractions: rapidly changing weather, dramatic political developments (summits, congressional testimony, and tabloid scandals) and the like. Yes, there will be brief media coverage of people walking out of churches with ash-marked foreheads or of the Pope or other clerics presiding at an Ash Wednesday ceremony. But for the majority of people, it’s just another day, another fleeting news event, and a custom that seems to be out of step with our busy, purpose-driven lives. There will be interviews with faithful believers who make resolutions of abstinence — no meat, no sweets, no alcohol, etc. — but little else in the media marks the beginning of the period of 40 days leading up to Easter, a time Christians, in concert with other religions (though the time of year and the length of the period may be different) commit themselves to thoughtful reflection. Most of us would probably admit to having brief moments of reflection each day. “Why did I do that?” “Why did I say that?” “What might I have done differently?” Perhaps any of these is sufficiently compelling that it influences what we do next: how we treat or speak to someone, how we pursue a task. Now imagine a period of 40 days occurring once a year when the agenda is rather straightforward, namely, to reflect on a year’s worth of our acts and thoughts, to ponder their significance, and to consider ways to behave differently. If anyone doubts the value of such an exercise, just consider for a moment how so many of our fellow Americans and us have been treating one another over the last 12 months. True, there have been moments of extraordinary heroism, courage, selfless support of others, and generosity — times that show us our better angels. But more often there have been periods of bitter conflict, acrimony and intolerance. As a country we have national days of remembrance: Veterans Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day and even Thanksgiving. For how many, though, are any of these truly times of soul-searching? Are our lives so busy or self-absorbed that we cannot observe them as they were once intended? It is far too much to suggest that we all enter on a 40-day period of reflection, but might we resolve individually to pause for just an hour sometime over the next 40 days to ask ourselves what we might do better, more compassionately, more selflessly? Just a thought. Stephen Reno is the executive director of Leadership New Hampshire and former chancellor of the University System of New Hampshire. His email is stepreno@gmail.com.

Measles
The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services announced that an international visitor with measles traveled to New Hampshire while contagious. According to the report, the individual traveled on Boston Express Line bus 5178 from South Station in Boston to the Manchester, New Hampshire Transportation Center in Manchester. The bus made stops to drop passengers in Tyngsboro, Mass., at 10:45 p.m. and Nashua at 11 p.m. Any person who rode the same bus, or who was present at South Station in Boston, on Tuesday, Feb. 26, from about 8:30 p.m. through midnight could have potentially been exposed to measles. According to the department, symptoms of measles infection usually begin with high fever, cough, runny nose and conjunctivitis several days before infected individuals develop a body rash. The department reported that more than 99 percent of individuals who receive two doses of the measles vaccine develop immunity. Anyone who isn’t vaccinated or has questions about their immunization status should call the Division of Public Health Services at 271-4496 (or 271-5300 after hours) and ask for the public health nurse on call.
Firearms trial
Three former executives of Sig Sauer are on trial in Germany for illegally exporting several thousand pistols to Colombia by way of its U.S. headquarters in Newington, according to an AP report. Prosecutors claim that between 2009 and 2011 as many as 47,000 semi-automatic pistols shipped from Germany to the U.S. were then sent to Colombia. Doing so violated the company’s export license and Germany’s arms
trade restrictions. The AP reported that Ron Cohen, the company’s chief executive in New Hampshire, said he “hadn’t considered” the illegality of the deal, since it was part of a U.S. government contract with Colombia. In a preliminary settlement, Cohen would face between a 16- and 22-month suspended prison sentence and up to a $1 million fine.
Community profiles
The state’s Economic and Labor Market Information Bureau updated its New Hampshire Community Profiles page with new data, according to a news release. Each New Hampshire county, as well as the state’s 234 incorporated cities and towns, has an individual profile created by the bureau. Profiles include information on demographics, income, housing, educational attainment, commuting patterns, property tax rates, largest employers and more. The new data come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s latest one-year population estimates and five-year estimates from the 2013-2017 American Community Survey.

happened in 2008. Polls in 19 states found more conservatives than liberals, while the rest of the country was either more conservative than average (six states), less conservative than average (nine states) or about average (10 states). Connecticut, Maine and Rhode Island were all less conservative than average. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services updated its online New Hampshire Lake Information Mapper to include data on mercury in local fish, according to a news release. This includes nearly 2,000 reports from 1975 to 2018, covering over 1,000 water bodies and 227 lakes and ponds. According to the department, mercury enters the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, trash and medical waste. It can turn into methylmercury that settles on surface waters. Fish can potentially ingest high concentrations of the toxin, which can cause brain damage if consumed. The online database also includes past lake assessment reports and information on the distribution of aquatic species in the state. Visit des.nh.gov/onestop/gis.htm.

The New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled in favor of New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon regarding a proposed country music festival, according to a news release. In December 2017 a group of neighbors sued the speedway based on a 1989 agreement that prohibits “musical concerts” from being held on the property. The Supreme Court upheld a decision issued last year by the Merrimack County Superior Court, which claimed that property the Speedway purchased after 1989 — where the concert would be held — is not included in the agreement. According to the Speedway, the festival will be held this summer and include camping and three days of music.
AMOSKEAG FISHWAYS

Amoskeag Fishways, a wildlife education center next to the Merrimack River in Manchester, announced it is “winding down” its yearround programming. The decision comes after Eversource sold the Amoskeag Dam and ended its contract with New Hampshire Audubon, which supported the programs at Amoskeag Fishways. The facility will now only be open between April and July when fish are migrating up the river, though tours during the remainder of the year will still be available by appointment. Since 1991, the nonprofit reported, there have been 660,000 visitors and 180,000 program participants at the facility.

New Hampshire is one of only six states with more self-identified liberals than conservatives, according to a new poll from Gallup. Based on a survey of 350 Granite Staters, 30 percent of residents identify as liberal, while 28 percent consider themselves conservative. Moderates are the largest voting block in the state at 36 percent. New Hampshire joins Hawaii, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont and Washington as the only states with a liberal majority. According to Gallup, Massachusetts was the first state to poll more liberal than conservative, which first

Trouble with tariffs
Amanda Noonan, director of consumer services and external affairs for the commission, said the agency doesn’t perform detailed market and economic analysis related to the solar industry. However, she said, several factors may be influencing changes in the state and national market, including reduced state incentives and budgets for state renewable energy programs, as well as trade tariffs. “The industry has really struggled with incredible volatility over the last few years,” said Erik Shifflett, co-owner of Granite State Solar in Bow. “It’s driven some companies out of business.” Specifically, tariffs imposed on solar panel materials by the Trump administration last February caused a “notable price pressure,” according to Dan Weeks, director of market development for ReVision Energy in Brentwood. He said these tariffs raised the price of imports by 40 percent, in some cases. Along with solar products, Shifflett said, tariffs on imported metals also affected the industry’s material costs. He added that even local solar manufacturers frequently source their materials from Canada, Korea or other foreign countries. “Whether it’s imported metal or domestically manufactured products … prices are increasing across the board,” said Shifflett. “Everything our industry installs is subject to tariffs at this point.” As a result, Weeks said, the price per watt for solar energy increased, and projects for new solar installations also became more expensive. He said this proved to be a dealbreaker for some organizations. “Making a capital investment can be a challenge even in the best of times, and even a slight
Monitoring net metering
Shifflett highlighted net metering as another area for improvement. According to the Public Utilities Commission, net metering allows electric customers who generate power through their own solar, wind or hydro installations to sell unused energy back to their utility company for credit on their energy bills. State law caps net metering for projects at a capacity of 1 megawatt. According to Madeleine Mineau, executive director of Clean Energy New Hampshire, that cap inhibits the development of large-scale solar developments. “We think [the cap] limits the ability of large energy users to use the same benefits of net metering that smaller users can do,” said Mineau. “If you’re a sizable high school, a one-megawatt solar array won’t make much sense.” Last year, Mineau said, Clean Energy New Hampshire advocated for the passage of SB 446, which would have raised that cap to 5 megawatts. That bill was vetoed by Gov. Chris Sununu, and a failed override vote by the state legislature didn’t overturn his decision. According to Noonan, the commission included legislative recommendations in its latest Renewable Portfolio Standard, published on Nov. 1. The report had several suggestions related to renewable energy, including the continuation of the net metering credit and allowing the commission more flexibility in administering the residential incentive program. “The division monitors the industry and modifies programs ... to promote the development of renewable energy,” said Noonan.
She added that while the commission is aware of several proposed legislative changes relative to the plan, it has “no position” on the proposals.
Industry ideas
Despite the overall industry trends, both Shifflett and Weeks said the drop in jobs may be due more to the larger, national companies leaving the state. Shifflett said Granite State Solar “anticipates adding heads this year,” while Weeks said ReVision has “continued to see very high demand [for solar].” According to Shifflett, a key to Granite State Solar’s stability is its own investments in being independent. The company built its own facility in Bow and owns most of its business assets and materials. As a result, he said the company doesn’t have to rely on subcontractors and risk having prices fluctuate due to changing rates from individual vendors. “We’re fortunate to have everything in house and have more control over our own supply chains,” said Shifflett. In November, ReVision announced the launch of a new technical center to help invest in its worker recruitment and retention. The in-house training program offers classroom training and hands-on experience to help employees work toward earning a Journeyman Electrical License. Weeks said employees can complete their education while working around their work schedule. He explained that this helps employees better balance their work and education while providing ReVision with a effective tool to meet its qualified workforce needs.
“Working a full-time job and attending a traditional [trade] school is just really difficult,” said Weeks. “We provide training that ... compliments their work schedule, because we need them out in the field on roofs and in utility rooms.” At the federal level, both Shifflett and Weeks pointed to rolling back tariffs as a needed change that would have the most direct effect on the solar industry. However, they also echoed the Public Utilities Commission’s general recommendation that the Renewable Portfolio Standard should be updated to better encourage investment in renewable energy projects. That includes raising or eliminating the cap on net metering and increasing the funds available from the state’s rebate programs. Weeks said New Hampshire should look to the incentives offered in neighboring states. While just 1 percent of power in New Hampshire comes from solar energy, Weeks said that total is nearly 10 percent in Massachusetts and 12 percent in Vermont. “[New Hampshire] has shown an unwillingness to date to follow states like Vermont and Massachusetts that have led to significant growth in the industry,” said Weeks. “From a policy standpoint, the single biggest intervention New Hampshire could make … is to update the renewable portfolio standard.” Weeks said that ultimately translates to jobs. While both states also saw a decline in solar jobs, both Massachusetts (10,210 jobs) and Vermont (1,229) had more jobs than New Hampshire in 2018.

Why did you decide to open an arcade? Joe: We wanted to open up a business for basically all ages as best we could, but really primarily for the teenage market. … We have a 15-year-old, a 9-year-old and a little guy, 6 years old. For the two older ones, it’s kind of hard to find places for them to go. … We saw that there are [virtual reality arcades] across the country, but there really isn’t anything around here quite like what we’re doing.

It’s half-horror, half-escape room. … People really feel like they’re in a haunted house.
How does this differ from your average arcade? Jenn: It’s sort of a cross between an arcade and a movie theater, where you’re really being immersed into a whole different world. … I think people are very surprised when they come that they really do feel like they’re somewhere else. We have an experience called “Richie’s Plank Experience” where you have to walk off a plank 20 feet in the air.

NEWS & NOTES
QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Widespread wellbeing
Granite Staters have a positive view of their lives in New Hampshire, according to Gallup’s latest Wellbeing Index. The survey asked respondents about how they rank their career, social life, finances, physical health and the state of their community. Based on a poll of 606 residents, New Hampshire ranked 11th overall, placing behind only Vermont (seventh) in New England. Among the individual categories, Granite Staters had the highest opinion about their financial well-being, ranking fifth overall. QOL Score: +1 Comment: Respondents also had a positive view of their physical fitness (eighth), as well as their social lives and communities (both 13th). However, New Hampshire fell to 45th for residents’ career outlook.
Opioid epicenter
Stanford University School of Medicine released a new comprehensive study of opioid deaths over the last several years, finding New Hampshire at the center of the epidemic. Between 1999 and 2016, researchers found, opioid deaths “rapidly increased,” specifically in “all of the eastern U.S.” New Hampshire’s mortality rate in 2016 was about 30 deaths for every 100,000 people, the highest in the country. Over the course of the study, New Hampshire was one of only eight states where opioid-related mortality rates were at least doubling every three years. QOL Score: -1 Comment: According to the study, New Hampshire and West Virginia lost more than a year of overall life expectancy in 2016 due to opioid-related mortality, the highest in the country.
Digital love
Despite its being a rural state, AT&T ranked New Hampshire as the best state for online dating. The company evaluated states based on safety rankings for violent crime and communicable diseases; the gender balance, number of singles and other demographic measures; and interest in online dating platforms. The Granite State ranked first overall, placing third for safety, fifth for demographics and first for opportunity to match with someone. QOL Score: +1 Comment: Massachusetts (fourth) and Vermont (sixth) and Connecticut (eighth) also ranked in the top 10 overall. Vermont ranked first in the nation for safety.

With the NFL 2019 business season opening this week, it’s time to do my favorite thing: play GM and look ahead to what the Patriots need to do to get on track for SB win No. 7. So with Coach B about to go on the clock, here are some thoughts on what he’s considering. Salary cap: Depending upon who you talk to, they go into the new year with between $19 million and $25 million in cap room before cuts, pay cuts and contract extensions to reduce the cap hit. The x-factor is Gronk, who’ll be on the books for a healthy $11.5 million after his least productive season ever, though he came up big in the playoffs after he got healthy. They try to cut that, my guess is he retires. So it’s either untouchable or they get it all. Salary cap cuts: Gronk’s a maybe. Given the salary, Dont’a Hightower is a possibility, though after a not so great regular season he made huge plays in big moments during the playoffs to again show his real value. Dwayne Allen will be cut and non-factor Adrian Clayborn is likely. Those two and a Tom Brady extension would give them $40 million in cap room. Tom Brady: I was the biggest skeptic of “I want to play until 45.” I’m still not in, but he’ll enter 2019 at 42 and I have no doubt he’s got at least two years left. See me after that. However, with that in mind, since his last heir apparent has lost more games to injuries after just 10 career starts than TB-12 has in 18 years, I’m thinking of taking the over that Jimmy G retires before Brady. In other words, they’re all set. Free agent losses: They have a whopping 13 free agents including starters Trey Flowers, Trent Brown, Malcom Brown, Chris Hogan, Steve Gostkowski, Ryan Allen, Jason McCourty and slot guy/special teamer Jon Jones. Gone, and it will hurt, are probably the first four, along
with Eric Rowe and Danny Shelton, who won’t. Hope they find a way to bring him back, but probably won’t, is the dangerous and versatile Cordarrelle Patterson. Probably back include Allen and Gostkowski – though if the latter isn’t, remember how we all panicked when Adam V walked and they immediately found someone as good in Gostkowski, so him leaving isn’t out of the realm of possibility. Free agent gains: They keep getting credit for doing what they’ve done in the “salary cap era.” But I think it’s a major reason why the Patriots have done what they’ve done. True, with no free agency the ’60s Packers kept 12 Hall of Famers mostly together to win five titles, but that dominance only lasted eight years, because they got old together and couldn’t fill that many holes in just the draft. Ditto for the ’70s Steelers and their 10 Famers, though their crash wasn’t as pronounced. The Patriots’ first three titles were built with low-cost, under-the-radar free agents that fortified the Ty Law, Tedy Bruschi and Willie McGinest-led core, where after Coach B sent the overrated/overpaid Chris Slade along with Andy Katzenmoyer and others out, in came Mike Vrabel, Otis (my man) Smith (again), Anthony Pleasant, Roman Phifer, Bobby Hamilton and Bryan Cox on defense, along with offensive contributors Antwain Smith and David Patten. When Lawyer Milloy slipped, in came free agent Rodney Harrison. Ditto after important departures, like Adam V, Deion Branch, David Givens, Wes Welker, Amendola and Nate Solder, whom they found lower-cost replacements for as they kept winning for 18 years. The only two who left and really left unfillable holes were Law, until Darrelle Revis, a full 10 years later, and Richard Seymour. Bottom line: They’ve had some misses, but free agency has been vital to staying on top for so long. Clarify at tight end: Even if Gronk comes back, they need another pass-catching tight end to be ready to step in if he gets hurt or they want to manage his playing time, or to
be ready as he ticks down. Diversify the passing game: With Gronk hurting and wideouts struggling to get open downfield, they often had only two places to go – the slot or James White out the backfield. That predictability made them easier to defend than usual until Gronk got healthy and they began relying more on the run. But they need more in the passing attack to make the who-to-double-team decision much harder and make them pay when they decide. That could be speed outside the numbers, or a return of Danny Amendola, or, with Sony Michel becoming an even bigger piece next year, adding another pass-catching big, for a dangerous two tight end set, might make the most sense. The defensive line: If Shelton, Brown and Flowers all leave they have holes to fill. I’ve said Flowers is gone, but maybe he gets the one big money slot the D always has gotten, that first went to Richard Seymour, then Vince Wilfork, then Devin McCourty. But with Stephon Gilmore at $14 million that seems unlikely. Regardless, the top draft pick goes here. Depth: Through injuries, unproductive trades and misses the last three drafts have only produced Michel, Joe Thuney and Elandon Roberts. They have six picks in the first three rounds and 12 overall, so they need to hit big to add depth and find future replacements for key guys, or use them to get play-makers like in 2007 with Randy Moss and Wes Welker. Biggest threat to No. 7: With Mike Vrabel, Brian Flores, Bill O’Brien and Matt Patricia head coaches and front offices in Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Detroit and Atlanta being run by Patriot alums chances are there is real competition for the kind of players the Patriots value. They’ve still got the smartest guy – and none who’ve left have replicated Coach B’s success, but I suspect that reality will make it more challenging than it’s ever been.

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S PEOPLE, PLACES & OTHER STUFF
Playoff games roll on The Big Story — Upset of the Week: We all know the ‘on any given Sunday’ mantra, but having said that, who saw the one-seed Saint Anselm falling in their first game in the NE-10 tournament? It came at home via a 97-87 loss to Southern Connecticut State despite a 31-point effort from Tim Guers. The good news is it won’t in all likelihood derail the 22-5 Hawks from getting into the D-II NCAA Tournament. Sports 101: Edgar Martinez is the fifth player elected to the Hall of Fame in his final year of eligibility. Name the other four. Hint: Two played for the Sox, two went in this century, one won seven homer titles. Best Game of the Week – Female Edition: To St. Anselm’s Shannon Ryan, who overpowered Adelphi on Sunday with a 29-point, 21-rebound performance in an 85-81 win that moved the Lady Hawks into the semifinals of the NE-10 Basketball Tournament Best Game of the Week – Male Edition: Tie – Trinity’s Anthony DiZillo for taking things into his own hands to turn a 2-2 tie into a 6-2 semifinals win in the State D-I hockey tournament over defending champion Hanover by scoring the game’s last four goals; Jack Sylvain for scoring all three Bedford goals, including the game-winner in the second overtime period, in B-town’s
The Numbers
5 – rung on the list of Colorado Rockies prospects occupied by Bedford’s Grant Lavigne following a first pro season when he hit .350 with 21 extra-base hits and 38 RBI in 59 games for “Grant” Junction. 26 – game-high points from Ali Morgan as Bedford
thrilling 3-2 quarterfinal win over Exeter in the Division I hockey playoffs. Nick of Tyme Award: Central’s Hannah Autenrieth for draining two free throws to tie it with three seconds left vs. Goffstown to send their Round I game into overtime, where the Green prevailed 58-54 despite a game-high 25 points from G-town’s Kelly Walsh. Out-of-Town Scores: Actually this happened in town at Trinity where notfrom-town Exeter finished the regular season undefeated at 18-0 with an 83-60 win over the Pioneers as Josh Morissette hit for eight shots from international waters during a 28-point night. And since dad Dave is a Manchester homey/Central alum it’s close to a hometown game. Sports 101 Answer: The four who join Edgar Martinez as final voting try Hall of Fame entrants are Jim Rice, Tim Raines, Red Ruffing and Ralph Kiner. On This Day – March 7: 1986 – Wayne Gretzky breaks his own NHL single season assist record when he gets his 136th of the year. 1996 – during his short return from his HIV virus induced retirement Magic Johnson becomes the second player in NBA history with 10,000 career assists. 2016 – Peyton Manning retires after leading Denver to a win over Carolina in the Super Bowl.
advanced in the D-I Basketball Tournament with a 70-54 win over Nashua North. 29 – saves made by Mike Robinson in a 1-0 Hockey East win by UNH over Lowell as the best goaltender from Bedford recorded this fifth career shutout in the U’s regular season final. 30 – game-high points
from Ethan May as Londonderry got by Goffstown 55-52. 37 – combined points from Lyric Grumblatt (21) and Jennessa Brunette as they led Memorial to an easy 60-29 verdict over Nashua South in the opening round of the Division I State Basketball tournament.
Sports Glossary Grant Junction: Real name actually is Grand Junction, Colorado. But since Grant Lavigne terrorized Pioneer (rookie) League pitching in that town a year ago I propose changing it to Grant Junction. Ralph Kiner: Prodigious slugger mostly for the moribund post-World War II Pittsburgh Pirates. The long Hall wait was due to the pedestrian 369 career homers. But those 369 came in just 10 years before an aching back forced retirement. The voters put that ahead of his never done before or since feat of winning the NL home run title in his first seven years in the majors! Including two seasons of 50 plus, all done, oh by the way, while hitting them out of spacious Forbes Field. Nothing sums up Ralph’s plight more than trying to cash in on those stats and being famously told by GM Branch Rickey, “Ralph, we came in last place with you and we can do it again next season without you.” Red Ruffing: Took 15 years to get in the Hall because he was baseball’s ultimate Jekyll and Hyde performer. In first seven MLB seasons with Boston, an awful 39-96. After a 1930 trade to the Yanks, an incredible about-face to 231-124, to make him 273-225 overall. The Green Bay 12 Hall of Famers: QB – Bart Starr. FB – Jim Taylor. HB/kicker – Paul Hornung. Line – Forrest Gregg, Jim Ringo, Jerry Kramer (also a kicker). D-Line – Willie Davis, Henry Jordan. LB – Dave Robinson, Ray Nitschke. DB – Herb Adderley, Willie Wood.

From Broadway classics like A Chorus Line to new or trendy musicals like Mamma Mia!, local theaters have something for everyone this spring. Here’s what’s coming to the stage over the next few months, plus an inside look from local theater directors at why and how they chose those shows.
Adding a twist
Marc Willis, company manager for the Palace Theatre in Manchester, said “the vein of the Palace is large-scale musicals,” and that’s exactly what the theater is offering this spring, with shows like Cabaret, on stage now through March 17, and A Chorus Line, running April 19 through May 12. “This particular season, we seem to be focusing a lot on the classics,” Willis said. “Often, you hear of theaters doing more obscure musicals and plays, which is great, but we like to stick to the more prominently known musicals that more people might enjoy, like Cabaret, which is obviously a classic, and, of course, A Chorus Line — when I think of musical theater, A Chorus Line is what I think of. You can’t get much more classic than that.” The Palace has done the shows before, but
HIPPO | MARCH 7 - 13, 2019 | PAGE 12
always adds a new twist to repeat shows to keep them fresh for the audience, Willis said. “We’re good at reinventing [the shows] and telling the story in a different way,” he said. “People who have seen these productions before want to come back to see what we will do differently.”
Alternative options
Large-scale, mainstream musicals aren’t the only productions coming to the New Hampshire stage this spring. Other theater companies are presenting lesser-known plays with smaller casts in smaller venues. The Majestic Theatre, for example, will perform the Jones Hope Wooten comedy Dearly Beloved April 26 through April 28 at the company’s 160-seat studio theater in Manchester. The company has only been holding shows at the studio theater for about a year, but, artistic director Rob Dionne said, audiences have responded well to the smaller-scale shows in a more intimate setting. “The trend right now is to do more shows at the studio theater,” he said. “At a traditional theater, the stage is much higher and farther away, whereas at the studio theater, you could literally be a couple of feet away from the stage, and people like that. It makes them feel more like they are part of the action.” When a new production is made available
for regional theater, many companies “clamour over each other to be the first to do it,” Dionne said, but in recent years, The Majestic Theatre has taken the opposite approach. “Mamma Mia! is a perfect example. Everyone is doing Mamma Mia! right now, but why do it at the same time as everyone else when there are other shows that we want to do?” he said. “We’d rather wait until everyone else has done it … so we can see if it’s successful, and it gives us more resources,” he said. Productions tend to “come in waves” in local theater, Dionne said, and while some companies aren’t concerned with doing the same productions at the same times that others are, most of them coordinate their seasons with each other so that their shows do not overlap. “We’ll announce our plans for the season to other [companies] and ask them to share theirs,” he said. “You get so much farther by playing nice with others. You don’t gain anything by copying shows, but if you schedule them at different times, both productions will be more successful.”
Original works
Some smaller theaters, like the Hatbox Theatre in Concord, feature original plays and musicals by local playwrights and composers. One upcoming show is Beer, Food, Hope
and Baseball, three one-act plays by New Hampshire playwrights group the Granite Playwrights, running March 29 through April 7. In Facing Backward by George Kelly, Two Boston Red Sox fans sit in a Boston bar, contemplating what they have won, and what they have lost after the Boston Red Sox ended their 86-year drought with a World Series victory in 2004. The Milltown Metaphors by Alan Lindsay is about a woman who loses the richest man she knows the night before her wedding. Throw the Bums Out by Jane Hunt follows a coffee shop that struggles to keep its doors open when it becomes filled with homeless bums. Every spring, the theater has a Pitch Night, where production companies and playwrights have two minutes to pitch a show to a review panel. Each person on the panel chooses their top three must-have shows, three shows they would like to see done, and three shows they can do without. Then, they discuss and put together a season schedule. The next season’s schedule will be announced at a Launch Party on Tuesday, May 14. “Part of our mission is to have works by local artists and to provide a voice for new stories and a home for [the productions] that don’t have homes,” Hatbox founder Andrew Pinard said. “It’s exciting for the actors, and 14

it’s exciting for the audience to see a raw, new work created from scratch.” The Hatbox is also a place for producers to do well-known shows in a non-traditional style. Dive-In Productions’ and Theaterography’s production of Little Shop of Horrors, running May 31 through June 16, for example, will use a unique blend of puppetry, movement, shadow, projection and other multi-media effects. “When you go to see a popular play, it’s about the nostalgia. It’s a passive experience, because you already know what it is,” Pinard said, “but when an old story is told in a new way, it’s a more active experience. It gives the audience something to chew on.”
Youth theater
The Peacock Players, a youth theater company in Nashua, will be staying traditional this spring with popular youth theater shows like Seussical the Musical, running March 8 through March 17, and Newsies, running May 10 through May 19 in Nashua. Artistic director Keith Weirich said he chooses titles

that “people have heard of and are familiar with, but haven’t seen, and can’t wait [for the shows] to be performed regionally.” Seussical, he said, is the most produced musical in youth theater. The Players have performed it twice before, but as a general rule, they always allow at least seven years to pass before they repeat a show, and, like the Palace, they try to put a new spin on it.
“We redo them differently,” Weirich said. “We try to have a different cast and a different production team. Even though the show itself is tried-and-true, it has a new energy and a new vision and new storytelling elements.”
Dinner & a show
Also this spring, you’ll find a number of dinner theater shows, like Anybody Out There?
performed by The Majestic Theatre April 5 through April 7 in Manchester, and Eat Drink & Be Murdered, performed by Lend Me a Theater May 17 through June 8 in Concord, Manchester and Derry. Dinner theater, usually a comedic or dramatic mystery play, immerses and engages the audience in the story while they eat dinner. “It’s just a different way to experience a show,” Dionne said. “We build a theater right inside [the dining hall], from the stage to the lights — everything. It’s a lot of work, but very rewarding, because audiences really like it.” Willis, Weirich and Dionne agree that spring is the perfect time to get out and support local theater. “I think in the spring, after people have suffered through a long winter, they are itching to venture out and do things and see what’s going on, and part of what’s going on, at least in this area, is theater,” Willis said. “We tend to hermit up in the winter,” Weirich added, “but now is the time, with so many shows going on, to leave the house and experience the art of theater.”

ARTS Capital beauty
Artist captures nature in Washington, D.C By Angie Sykeny
asykeny@hippopress.com
Nashua artist Jayson Gleneck offers a different view of Washington, D.C., in his exhibition “Our Nation’s Capital,” on view through March at ArtHub in Nashua. The exhibition features Gleneck’s photography that captures glimpses of nature within the capital’s urban landscape. There are 12 photographs, framed and on canvas, some as large as 20 by 30 inches, plus 20 or so smaller prints. Gleneck travels to Washington periodically for his work as a graphic designer and always brings his camera. He became intrigued with the juxtaposition of natural subjects, like gardens, water, trees and the sky, and man-made buildings and monuments like the Capitol building, the Washington Monument and the National Museum of African American History and Culture. “It’s interesting to see pieces of landscape and greenery against the background of these stark gray buildings, like a little oasis in the middle of the city,” he said. When Gleneck visits D.C., he typically drives so that he has more flexibility to stay in the city longer if needed to capture a certain image. “The cherry blossoms are a good example.

Getting the timing right for the cherry blossoms in D.C. is very difficult because there has to be a certain amount of cold and warm weather for them to reach a full bloom,” he said. “In the 10 times I’ve been to D.C., I’ve only been able to capture them in full bloom once.” Gleneck has taken similar photos in Nashua and Boston, and during his travels to Tahiti, London, Denver and other locations. He also takes photos of simple landscapes, like the White Mountains and the fall foliage in New Hampshire, but he has recently

He also utilizes the moonlight, like in his photo titled “Moonlight over the Capitol,” which is featured in the exhibit. “I waited four hours for the sun to set and the moon to move directly over the Capitol [building] so I could get that shot,” he said. “It’s one of my best shots of D.C.” Gleneck said he hopes the exhibition will increase people’s awareness of the natural beauty that can be found in D.C. and other cities. “People think it’s all business and government, but there’s so much more that gets overlooked,” he said. “I want people to open their eyes and see how much nature can be seen in the parks and the gardens, even in a big city.” In the future, Gleneck said, he’d like to been more interested in photos with multiphotograph New York City, particularly ple elements. Central Park, and the glaciers and mountains “Just a picture of a tree doesn’t emote much in Alaska, and to explore other media, like emotion. It’s nice, but composition-wise you watercolor and oil painting. need that tree plus something else,” he said. “It’s more interesting that way.

It features work by Linda Behar that explores representations of women’s bodies and gender identity, inspired by floral and geometric designs in coloring books. “I am calling attention to the attitude and behaviors society requires of a woman. To be a lady, to be pleasing to society continues to be defined in a way that forces women into a small, short box — and fashion trends and social media don’t help,” Behar said in a press release. “I don’t feel comfortable about the mold society has created.” After creating the black and white prints, Behar invited women of various backgrounds, cultures, education levels and nationalities to color in the prints.

New Hampshire State Home Show returns how it’s priced to help them make a decision,” Wayman said. This year’s show will also feature an 800-square-foot model smart house, fully furnished with smart technology for lighting, audio, home security, appliances and more. “That’s going to be the big thing this year,” Wayman said. “More and more people are leaning toward getting smart devices in their home.” Finally, there will be a small craft fair outside the expo and some activities for kids, including face-painting and the fourth annual Junior Lego Build Contest for ages 5 through 7 on Saturday and ages 8 through 10 on Sunday.

If you’re looking to renovate your home, update your backyard or buy or build a new home, the New Hampshire State Home Show is a good place to start. Now in its 52nd year, the annual home building and remodeling industry expo will be held Friday, March 8, through Sunday, March 10, at DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Manchester and will feature more than 300 exhibitor and vendor booths, seminars and demonstrations, displays and more. “It’s an opportunity for consumers who are interested in possibly renovating or building a home to get ideas for their future plans and look at what the newest trends are,” said Sharon Wayman, expo coordinator and office and accounting manager for the New Hampshire Home Builders Association, which hosts the expo. The exhibitors and vendors will provide information about construction, financing, landscaping, pools, log homes, solar energy, storage, kitchen and bath, windows, roofing, insulation, heating and cooling, cabinetry, plumbing, closet solutions and more. “It’s kind of like one-stop shopping,” Wayman said. “Many of the vendors will 23 Kiddie pool Family activities this week.

Resolutions you can keep How to be a better gardener By Henry Homeyer
listings@hippopress.com
Two months into 2019, resolutions have been made and broken. Now we New England gardeners are faced with that long, dismal wait before we can start our gardens, and it’s a good time to think about those resolutions we never made: the garden resolutions. If you make — and follow — some of the resolutions below, you’ll not only feel virtuous, you’ll be a better gardener. Resolution 1: Take the pledge to be an organic gardener. That means using no chemicals in the garden, no matter how dire the circumstances. Japanese beetles devouring your roses? Get up earlier and handpick them every morning. Weeds in the walkway? No herbicides. Pour boiling water with salt on them, or yank ‘em. Burn them with a blow torch. And forget 10-10-10: no chemical fertilizers, either. There are lots of easy solutions — if you know what to do. Resolution 2: Read more about organic gardening in this down time before we plant spring seeds. Go to your local library or family-owned bookstore and see what’s available. Are you a vegetable gardener? Get a copy of Ed Smith’s The Vegetable Gardener’s Bible (Storey Publishing). Ed and his wife, Sylvia, live in Vermont and largely live on what they grow. It is well-illustrated, and full of fabulous information. They are all organic, too. This book has stayed in print for 19 years and sold over a million copies. Another good book to obtain is Insect, Disease & Weed I.D. Guide by Cebenko and Martin, Editors (Rodale Press). It came out in 2001 but is still readily available. Organic gardeners have to be a little bit smarter and better educated than chemical gardeners, and this book will not only help you identify pests and diseases, it will offer organic solutions. It’s easy enough to spray a pesticide on a bug, and it will die. But knowing what the bug is, a little about its life cycle, and how to combat it without resorting to chemicals is better. Resolution 3: Use more compost. Instead of looking for a bagged fertilizer to improve your soil, think long-term. Although bagged organic fertilizers have their place in the scheme of garden things, nothing is better for your soil than compost. Compost is not high in nitrogen, but it introduces beneficial microorganisms to your soil. A teaspoon of compost can contain up to 5 billion bacteria, 20 million filamentous fungi, and a million protozoa. No bagged fertilizer can do that. Compost also improves the tilth of your soil. Most of us have soil that is either too sandy or too full of clay. Who do you know who has the “rich, well-drained soil” that every plant book prescribes as the appropri-

ate soil for your favorite plant? We have to make our own soil. We have to nurture it, and improve it until we reach the age of 99, when either it is perfect, or we no longer recognize perfection. Compost helps your soil get there. Resolution 4: Resolve to mulch more. Mulch will help to smother weeds, add organic matter to the soil as it breaks down, and reduce water loss from evaporation or run-off. Leaves are great anywhere, bark mulch is good in flower beds, and straw, grass clippings and compost are good in the vegetable garden. Resolution 5: Decide now that you will not let any weeds flower and produce seeds. That means that you have to yank the weed or cut off any seed heads of weeds when you see them — even if you’re all dressed up and are leaving for the airport. You have to grab the seed heads off that big weed on your way to the car. Stuff it in your pocket, or put it in the trash. But don’t let the weeds spread their seeds. Resolution 6: Experiment. Every year plant something new, whether a new flavor of tomato or type of zinnia. Try veggies you’ve never grown, and learn to love eating them. Kohlrabi and rutabagas are actually delicious. Try a new type of watering device, or get a new weeding tool (such as the CobraHead, my favorite). Plant a new species of tree, one that flowers. Resolution 7: And last but not least, resolve to keep gardening fun. Don’t bite off more than you can take care of. Try not to get discouraged if beetles eat your lilies or the phlox gets moldy. Gardening is supposed to be fun — that’s why so many of us do it. Accept that organic gardeners suffer some losses and that no gardener can have success with everything. In the meantime, enjoy the winter, and learn more about organic gardening now so you’ll be ready come spring. Henry lives and gardens in Cornish Flat. Email him at henry.homeyer@comcast.net.
INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK
He doesn’t love the Buick
2019 Summer Season
Dear Car Talk: My husband drives a 6-cylinder 2004 Buick Rainier. It’s blue — my favorite color — and matches the decor of the house. He got this SUV from a friend who buys By Ray Magliozzi totaled cars and fixes them for re-sale. This is the best one yet, and he wants to trade it in for a Jeep! Of course, one of the boys at his weekly gathering called Car Night has a Buick SUV and agrees with him that it’s a “pig” and should be traded. Anyway, he keeps tracking his gas mileage at every fill-up. Recently it has gone down from 17-18 miles per gallon to 16.6. I told him that wasn’t much and he just needs a tuneup. “Spark plugs, Dear.” Last night on our way to a fish fry he said it again for the umpteenth time, “I’m trading this in.” I calmly answered, “Spark plugs, air filter and gas filter, Dear.” My problem is I am afraid that someday soon he will come home driving something that I won’t like again, when just simple maintenance could solve his obsessiveness with gas mileage. What do you think? — Sharon I think you’re right to be afraid, Sharon. He is going to show up one night with a Jeep.
I can pretty much guarantee it. I also predict that the Jeep is going to get 13 miles per gallon, and he won’t care. He hates the Buick. His friends are mocking him for driving it, and he can’t wait to get rid of it. All the complaining about gas mileage is just “preparing you” for the inevitable trade-in. And I think you should just let him do it, Sharon. Remember, there are worse things husbands can decide to trade in. In the interests of marital harmony and good will, I’d say to him, “Frank, you know I like that Buick, but you should drive whatever makes you happy.” Then here’s how you get your revenge: Every week, when he’s not looking, you syphon a little bit of gas out of his Jeep and put it into your car. Take out a little more each week. He’ll be completely confused as his mileage (which you say he tracks constantly) drops from 13 mpg, to 11, to 9. When he gets down to 7 mpg, you can come clean and tell him about your practical joke. If he’s got a sense of humor, he’ll be impressed with your ingenuity and you guys will have a good laugh together. If he doesn’t have a sense of humor, he’ll divorce you, and then you take your half of the assets and buy your own Buick. Good luck, Sharon.
Dear Car Talk: Hi. I don’t drive my car very much and worry about the battery dying, as it has twice this week. I am wondering what you think about solar battery chargers for my 2008 Altima? It would be great not to waste time worrying about batteries! — Marjorie I’ll be glad to demean solar battery chargers, Marjorie, but first I’m more concerned that there’s something wrong with your car. Your battery shouldn’t be dying twice a week if everything is working properly. So start by having your mechanic test your battery and your charging system. Your battery might not be charging when you drive. Perhaps it’s more than five years old and can’t hold a charge any more. Or maybe something is staying on and draining the battery while your car is parked. We’ve also seen situations where owners will accidentally hit the “stop-start” button twice when shutting off the car, and put the car into “accessory mode” without knowing it. If you leave your car in “accessory mode,” things like your radio and heater fan will continue to run and drain your battery. In terms of chargers, solar chargers put out about 500-1,500 milliamps. So even at the high end, under perfect, sunny con-
ditions, it’s adding about twice as much current as your car is draining just by being parked. And since conditions are rarely perfect, you’ll just barely be replacing what the computer, the emissions system and the alarm are drawing when the car is off. So if your battery is going stone cold dead twice a week, a solar battery charger is not going to make up the difference. If everything were working properly, and you were the kind of person who parked your car for weeks at a time and lived in a particularly sunny clime, a solar charger might be enough to keep your battery charged up. But unlike conventional, plug-in trickle chargers (also called battery tenders) that serve the same purpose, solar chargers have no automatic shut-off switch. So, while unlikely, it’s possible, under certain conditions, to overcharge your battery with a solar charger. You’d have to be extremely lucky to get enough juice out of it to have that happen, but it’s possible. But start by figuring out what’s wrong with your electrical system, Marjorie. And once you get that fixed, you may find you don’t need any battery charger at all. Visit Cartalk.com.

Snow may still be on the ground, but farms across the Granite State are already offering signups for spring or summer CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares. Joining your local farm’s CSA program gives you the opportunity to enjoy freshly grown produce, meats, dairy and other products it has to offer for the duration of the share, while providing it with a steady financial support system. “It’s really a partnership between a farm and its members, and it creates a sustainable food system,” said Melina Caron of Local Harvest CSA, a Concord-based CSA cooperative program that works with five farms in Warner, Weare, New Boston and Bradford. Some farms offer year-round CSA programs while others have sessions for spring and summer, designating a specific number of weeks for the duration of each share, or even combining spring and summer or winter and spring shares into one session. Members will pay up front for however many weeks the share is, but in some cases, you can sign up for a payment plan to make payments in increments — or, if you sign up after the session begins, your costs will get prorated to the amount of weeks there are remaining. Depending on what the program offers, some will have arrangements you can make to have your items delivered to you, while others have a variety of pickup locations across

the state available at specific days and times once the sessions begin. Local Harvest CSA, for example, has signups available now for a three-week spring share beginning in late May, as well as an 18-week summer share that begins the week of June 12. Caron said the spring share is mostly comprised of greens like kale, lettuce, chards, spinach, herbs and arugula, and is a great introduction to CSAs due to its short length. “After a long winter of eating heavy and dense foods, you get the fresh greens for the spring share that lighten up your system,” she said. As the months pass, more fruits and vegetables reach their peak growing seasons. Caron
said summer shares will typically include everything from tomatoes and cucumbers to eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. The weather conditions have a direct effect on the status of each item’s availability. While the upcoming spring and summer months remain to be seen, the spring greens usually start to take off once the days start getting longer, according to Sarah Hansen of Kearsarge Gore Farm in Warner. “It has been a strange winter so far. … We have a feeling that spring is going to come all at once this year,” Hansen said. “I think the amount of sunshine we’ve been getting will help heat the high tunnel [greenhouses] enough for the cold-hardy greens to grow.”

A variety of Latin American fusion items like fried plantains, house-made guacamole and pork belly Cuban sandwiches, in addition to traditional breakfast options like omelets and pancakes, will be on the menu at Federal’s Cafe, a new eatery due to open in Concord in the coming weeks. The cafe, which takes its name from the James C. Cleveland Federal Building just across the street, will open in the former space of the recently closed Pleasant Street Grille. But the space is perhaps best known for being home to Remi’s Place Pizza & Restaurant for more than a decade before it closed in 2014. Remi Hinxhia, who still owns the building, recruited executive chef and operations manager Sean Gravel to create the new cafe’s menu and concept. “We’ll have full-service breakfast all week long from 7 to 11 a.m. and then just breakfast from 7 a.m. to noon on Saturday and Sunday,” said Gravel, who worked as a cook at The Common Man for three years prior to coming to the cafe. “Our lunch service is going to be more of a walk-up and order behind the counter kind of thing rather than waiting on tables, and that’s going to be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. So it’s going to be an almost two-pronged system.” Gravel said he didn’t have much in mind at first when it came to a centralized concept — he knew only that he wanted to write a menu based on what he liked to eat, but also one that included options you were hardpressed to find anywhere else in the area. That, he said, was how the Latin American fusion concept was born. “It’s a small injection of that cuisine, but it definitely shows through,” he said. “I’ll be doing my own take on a Cuban sandwich, which will be with pork belly, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and a house-made horseradish Dijon aioli. … I’ll also be making my own guacamole to be served with tortilla chips, and will have fried plantains, Cuban bread, things like that.” Other featured lunch options will include
soups, like a roasted tomato basil and garlic soup; and salads, like a New England McIntosh salad with romaine lettuce, gorgonzola cheese, chopped walnuts and a house-made apple cider vinaigrette, and an avocado pork salad with baby spinach, tomatoes, red onion and crispy pork belly dressed with pureed avocado. There is also a variety of hot or cold sandwiches, all of which can be made into a meal with house-made potato chips, a pickle and a cold drink. Cold sandwiches include turkey club, spicy tuna salad, curried chicken salad, or a build-your-own option. For hot sandwiches, in addition to the Cuban, there is a Reuben with house made corned beef brisket; a grilled cheese with a fried egg and house guacamole; and a Buffalo chicken panini with creamy gorgonzola. The breakfast menu has short-order options like pancakes, waffles, home fries, eggs, maple baked beans and a house-made corned beef hash. Other features include crepes, made with either a sweet filling (choose strawberry, blueberry, mixed berry or brûléed) or a savory filling (choose broccoli and provolone cheese, cracked pepper Swiss or caramelized onion and gorgonzola). Build-your-own options for omelets and breakfast sandwiches, as well as sides like bacon, sausage, granola, fruit salad, toast and English muffins, will also be available. “We’ll do a daily special for breakfast and for lunch,” Gravel said. “We’re also going to have a website … and a mobile app people can use to order their food and just come pick it up.” Federal’s Cafe An opening date is expected in the coming weeks. Follow them on social media for updates. Where: 62 Pleasant St., Concord Anticipated hours: Monday through Friday, 7 to 11 a.m. for breakfast and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for lunch, and Saturday and Sunday, 7 a.m. to noon (breakfast only) Contact: Follow them on Facebook @federalscafe15 or on Instagram @federals_cafe

Chocolate Chip Cookies I don’t know about you but I think chocolate chip cookies are the most classic, most delicious and most amazing dessert ever. There is something about a really good chocolate chip cookie that can make a day go from so-so to great. I don’t even discriminate: I think there is room for everyone from Chips Ahoy! to your mother’s secret recipe from 1972. Yet, here’s the thing. While slice-and-bake cookies lure us with their convenience, making these classics from scratch is honestly not that hard. Plus, when you make them from scratch, you can be picky about what kinds of chocolate chips you use and you don’t get any fillers like palm oil or “natural flavors.” There are several chocolate chip cookies out there that range from simple to quite complex. While the recipes with espresso beans and three different kinds of flour might woo you, I stayed away. I didn’t want things to be so complicated that I felt nostalgic about the ease of opening a box of Chips Ahoy!. Plus, using my bag of Nestle Toll House reminded me of that episode of Friends where Monica is trying to crack Phoebe’s famous family recipe, “The One with Phoebe’s Cookies,” and I was chuckling to myself while baking. I baked a few rounds of cookies to see
which recipes I like best. Here are a few things I learned: Chocolate chips are designed specifically for baking. Because of the added stabilizers, they keep their shape and don’t fall apart. While semi-sweet chocolate is the go-to for most cookies, my children prefer milk chocolate and I have to agree. Milk chocolate chips are so tasty and perfectly sweet. You’ve got to have a mix of sugar for them to turn out perfectly. Most recipes call for half brown and half white. Softened butter is critical. I’ve made the mistake in the past of using hot melted butter in a cookie recipe. The chocolate chips melted and my cookies came out dark brown. They tasted OK but were not very appealing to look at. I prefer cookies with a little more vanilla extract: two teaspoons rather than one. Butter. Only use butter. Margarine will get you voted off the island. Use an ice cream scooper to scoop the batter into perfect little balls. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make your life so much easier! — Allison Willson Dudas

I am always on the hunt for great winter wines, departures from the usual cabernet sauvignons and merlots. During this year’s New Hampshire Wine Week in January, I took advantage of the opportunity to sample a broad spectrum of wines. While it is impossible to survey all 1,800 wines available during the Winter Wine Spectacular, the crown jewel of the week, one can try new varietals or revisit some old favorites not savored for some time. The first wine I tried, and fell in love with all over again, was an Italian Piedmont blend under the label of Vietti Barolo Castiglione DOCG. It retails for $49.99 and is available at many of the New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets. Per the winery’s website, this wine is sourced from grapes from small vineyards spread in the Barolo region. The vines are between 8 and 41 years old, planted in a clay and limestone soil. The different crus are aged separately for approximately three years, and then blended before bottling for a steady consistency from year to year. This is a bold wine, earthy, with good tannins, and will cellar well to develop a deep fruity taste. This is a wine to be paired with a hearty winter stew or roasted red meats. The second wine, another favorite, is from the Rhone River region of France, Domaine du Grand Montmirail Vacqueyras. It is also available at many of the New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets, retailing at $21.49. As its label states it is from the Vacqueyras region, or appellation, in the Southern Rhone Valley. Wines from this region parallel the fine wines of its neighbors, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas. It is a blend of 65 percent grenache from 50 year-old vines and 35 percent syrah from 20 year old vines. The blend is aged for two years in underground tanks before bottling and its final maturation. It is strong competition for its pricier neighbors. It should be paired with a winter-hearty meal of cassoulet, with its blend of flavors, game or lamb. The day before the Spectacular, another recurring annual event took place called Cellar Notes. In years past this event was structured as a panel discussion, with vintners and vineyard owners presenting their stories, how they became engaged in the farming, or management of the business, all coupled with several fleets of their wines. This year the focus was on a married couple, described as an award-winning “powerhouse,” who linked three generations of California’s Gallo wine-making to a storied French Boisset collection of 25 wineries located in France, California, and Canada. The event took on the complexion of an intimate conversation with this couple, Gina Gallo and Jean-Charles Boisset.

Among the fleets that were poured was a Chablis, J Moreau & Fils Chablis. It is available at many New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets, retailing at $25.99. Chablis is a region that is the northernmost region of Burgundy. Only Champagne, Lorraine and Alsace have a more northerly location. Chablis is actually a chardonnay grape. Grown in this cooler climate the wine has more acidity and less fruit than the chardonnay grown in warmer climates. Compared to the white wines from the rest of Burgundy, Chablis has typically much less influence of oak. In fact, most basic Chablis is unoaked and vinified in stainless steel tanks. Many of the Grand Cru and Premier Cru wines receive some maturation in oak barrels. J Moreau & Fils is one of the many wineries owned by the Boisset family. The wine is produced as a blend from several local vineyards around the village of Chablis by winemaker Luce Depuydt. Grown on limestone, clay and fossilized shells, the wine has a minerality not found in chardonnay grown in warmer climates. This wine has much in common with the chardonnay grown in Champagne, which of course goes into the making of that wonderful wine all love so much. What can be said about Wine Week and its various events? To a state whose population is barely 1.4 million, Wine Week is a cultural and management wonder. The Winter Wine Spectacular generates not only funds — more than $180,000, according to Christine Pederson, director of events for Easterseals of New Hampshire — but also exposure and interest in the programs of Easterseals that benefit more than 25,000 children, adults and seniors. I relished this year’s Wine Week. The discovered and rediscovered wines are worth trying, paired and savored with that hearty winter meal. Fred Matuszewski is a local architect, foodie and wine geek, interested in the cultivation of the multiple strains and varieties of grapes, and the industry of wine production and sales. Chief among his travels is the annual trip to the wine-producing areas of California.

To let us know about
The first — OK, only — time I saw this throwback-metal band was ten years ago or so, when they opened for Alice in Chains at some metal-fest in Mansfield, Mass. I wasn’t sure what I was looking at, why they were there, or even what they were trying to accomplish, aside from having a shirtless lead singer. It was like a cross between Accept and the ZZ Top band your uncle you used to play in, a fricassee of clichéd rawkin’ nonsense that should have been extinct after the last Ice Age; it was sort of like seeing a woolly mammoth balancing on a giant circus ball. I mean, The Darkness is an unapologetically awful band, but these guys would be the perfect opening act for them, if you want to know how bad Buckcherry (a spoonerism for “Chuck Berry,” if you have the slightest interest) is. Yet on they go, which is their only saving grace, this time with a title track that blends AC/DC with just a little Papa Roach, and another tune (“Bent”) that fakes in the direction of early Who before devolving into really bad Deep Purple. Godspeed guys; I sure wouldn’t want to be in this band. C — Eric W. Saeger

Self-referred to as “the almost award-winning fourth-most-popular folk duo in New Zealand,” this comedy act has been the folkie answer to Spinal Tap for over a decade now, having enjoyed a long-enough run on an HBO series and gone on to do things like, well, this, which captures the band at a series of U.K. shows. I don’t really get the appeal of joke-bands; it’s like, once I’ve heard a joke, I never have to hear it again, but there are devoted fans of everything, even canned Spam, so I won’t argue, and besides, stuffy folkie bands could never receive enough abuse for my satisfaction, so we’ll proceed. This special is on HBO, in case you have that, and a DVD is available, so we just need to cover the basics, like their performance of “I’ve Got Hurt Feelings,” where they playact as touchy-feely granola-nerds expressing sympathy for rappers, and the unplugged “A Gender Reversal Reversal,” which should be force-fed to every virtue-signaling Like-addict on Twitter.

• Onward we slog, through this year’s morass of suffocating political correctness and reported incidents of redneck grandmothers hurling idiotic racist statements at IHOP customers, to the list of releases heading our way on March 8, where we begin with annoyingly hip art-victim Amanda Palmer and her new album, There Will Be No Intermission. On the cover she’s naked, and can I tell you I’m sick of seeing Amanda Palmer naked? The album was crowdfunded, like that was necessary, and the single… wait, I can’t find a single, just an “art thing” where something from the album plays in the background. It is bombastic, piano-driven, and angst-ridden. Moving on. • I’ve always been nice to boring country-folkie-whatever Patty Griffin, haven’t I? Please tell me I’ve been able to disguise my total lack of interest in her polite little not-quite-a-witch-more-like-a-lonely-single-lady-with-homemade-hemp-necklaces-and-several-friendswho-drop-by-to-guzzle-her-vodka trip and all those low-key, strummy songs of hers, please tell me that. Anyway, I no longer care which PR people actually like me (maybe three) or hate my guts (everyone else), so this new album of hers had better, for once, have a song that sticks in my head for longer than it takes to plop my usual couple of Alka Seltzers into a glass of Corona, which my stomach requires every time I have to deal with some low-key country-folkie album that’s not quite chill enough to be considered Americana, you know, made by some passive-aggressive art-fraud who wears a fedora and names their pet “Mephistopheles,” the type who generally bugs me at parties because you can’t really kid around like an idiot with them because it’ll cause their dharma to implode and make them run home to their crystals and Witchiepoo cauldron of fake-lamb vegan stew. This album is a self-titled one, you know, like, the album’s title is Patty Griffin, even though it’s her 10th full-length in total, you know, that brilliant move that always confuses fans, who instantly assume it’s some Greatest Hits record or maybe a crummy illegal bootleg from Cambodian gangsters. Oh, let’s go listen to whatever she’s doing now, in the single “The River.” Yuck, spoiler, it’s a strummy thing about strong-willed women, she sounds like Dolly Parton but with a bigger vocal range, and I’ve already forgotten the song. (Yikes, maybe I should have been nicer to this album, because she’ll be at the Portsmouth Music Hall on April 7! Hypothetically, could a witch cast a spell all the way to Manchvegas from there?) • Yucky poo, maybe those old punks Meat Puppets can salvage something out of this dreadful week of releases, with their new album, Dusty Notes! OK, they’re still awesome, let’s continue. • It took 20 years, but London trip-hop songbird Dido is now up to five albums, as of Still On My Mind, streeting on the 8th. Many of the people reading this weren’t even born when Eminem released her from Britpop jail and introduced her to discerning American audiences by using a sample from her song “Thank You” on “Stan,” but that’s OK; the new single “Still On My Mind,” with its lilting acoustic guitar build-up and Massive Attack-style beat is awesome, so discerning American audiences can go back to pretending not to notice her. — Eric W.

A thousand words has launched many a book, if the words were published first in the exalted pages of The New York Times or The New Yorker or some other heavenly strata of publishing. The book that follows sometimes, but not always, delivers on the promise of the original work. And so here comes You Know You Want This, the swiftly gestated progeny of “Cat Person,” the viral short story that was dissected globally after The New Yorker published it in December 2017. So you’ll want to know, was “Cat Person” the work of a one-hit wonder; Kristen Roupenian, the literary equivalent of the Starland Vocal Band? No, Roupenian’s new collection reveals a writer of startling ability, given that her publishing credits were modest before “Cat Person” was published. That said, she’s not for everyone, definitely not for your grandmother or mother, or daughter or son, or for anyone who might wince at a story that’s not fullblown porn but has parts that come close, even if the story is titled “The Good Guy.” The collection is, in turns, beautifully written while deeply disturbing. The characters Roupenian invents, much like Margot and Robert in “Cat Person,” are perfectly ordinary people, perfectly likeable people, until, all of a sudden, they’re not, in ways that are suddenly, shockingly revealed. In “Cat Person,” included in this collection, the reveal doesn’t occur until the end when contrails of text messages cast doubt on what you’ve believed about Robert until then. For those unfamiliar with the story, it’s about a relationship that unfolds between a concession clerk at an artsy theater and a moviegoer with whom she develops a rapport. He has cats and drives a “muddy white” Civic, and when Margot first takes off her shirt in front of him, he looks “stunned and stupid with pleasure, like a milk-drunk baby.” Roupenian is not much for happy endings, however, as Margot signals to the reader when the couple first have sex, and she thinks, “brightly, ‘This is the worst life decision I have ever made!’” There are 11 other stories, many also full of bad life decisions, such as the child whose sympathy for her single mother prompts her to wish for “something mean” at her birthday party. (“Mama?” the girl asks afterward, “Do you think birthday wishes can ever be unwished?”) There’s also the couple who lets a newly jilted friend sleep over on their couch indefinitely, then lets him become entangled in their sex life, at first inadvertently, then deliberately, with horrific results.
A Peace Corps volunteer assigned to a horrible class of girls in Kenya, who is tormented by someone knocking on his hut’s door all night. A woman who steals a book of spells from a library, then summons her “heart’s desire,” which turns out to be a naked man with bloody knees. (“I knew the world was more interesting than it was pretending to be,” she thinks.) The best of the collection is “The Good Guy,” which, once you move past its R-rated opening, masquerades as a coming-of-age story about Ted, a sweet, bookish boy whose adolescent fantasies involved bringing breakfast in bed to his cousin; no euphemism there, but fresh orange juice and fried eggs on a tray adorned with a daisy. Later, Ted develops an obsessive crush on a sparkling girl named Anna, part of a “coterie of other beautiful girls” who at a party are “emoting so brightly that the rest of the world went dim.” Anna, however, is pining over a bad-boy athlete who’d dumped her, and doesn’t see much use for Ted other than as a depository for woe until she goes off to college and he gets another girlfriend, Rachel. The trio’s story is entwined with a current relationship that is ending badly (again, Roupenian isn’t much for happily ever after), and is masterfully told by a writer whose sentences can best be described as free pour, as if Roupenian was taking dictation from heaven — although given the themes here, hell is more likely. Roupenian dedicates the collection to her mother, “who taught me to love what scares me.” That’s a dedication deserving of more explanation, but so, too, are most of these stories, which, like “Cat Person,” seem to resonate with readers because of the questions they ask, not the answers they give. You Know You Want This is taut and mesmerizing, but not for the easily offended. B+ — Jennifer Graham

Seacoast high school junior Syd Sullivan is considering a career in writing after she graduates, and with one published book already to her name, she’s off to a good start. Her young adult novel, titled Unsolved Case, was released by Archway Publishing in November 2018. It’s a coming-of-age story, set in Boston, about 15-year-old Ariel Smith, who discovers that she was adopted by her godparents as a baby, and that her birth parents were murdered but the murderer never found. As Ariel starts investigating her parents’ murder, she has a feeling that she is being watched. Despite a number of setbacks, she keeps searching for the truth, learning more about herself in the process. “After this big, dramatic experience and everything that life throws at her, she ends up taking the time to focus on her own life. She becomes a stronger woman and is proud of who she becomes,” Sullivan said. “Even in this tragedy she’s going through, everything happens for a reason.” Sullivan said she set out to write a story with a “strong female lead,” and that Ariel, who is “strong and independent and fends for herself,” is a reflection of herself and a few of her female friends. “I felt that, in this day and age, a lot of young girls need strong characters to look up to, and that’s what I tried to make Ariel,” she said. Though Unsolved Case is geared toward teens, it has “a lot of adult appeal” as well, Sullivan said. “There are dramatic parts, humorous parts, murder-mystery, a little of everything, and I think that’s what makes it good for both young readers and older readers,” she said. Sullivan started writing Unsolved Case when she was 14. For three years, during the summer and school vacations, she contin-
ued writing it on her laptop, making revisions as her “grammar and vocabulary got better with age,” she said. It wasn’t until she hit 150 pages that she realized this story she was writing for fun could be a complete, published work. “I thought about what it could become if I kept plugging along and moving forward, so I kept building on my original ideas and trying to make it more intense,” she said. “It’s something I took initiative on and took the time to focus on, and I’m very proud of that and of how it turned out.” After researching different publishing options, Sullivan brought her book to Archway Publishing. The self-publishing service helped guide her through the editing and design process, which took about five months. An avid reader herself, Sullivan is inspired by popular young adult series like Harry Potter and Twilight. “I’ve always liked reading things that keep you on the edge of your seat and keep the interest going so that you want to keep reading,” she said. “I wanted my book to have that feeling of wanting to know what happens next — a page-turner.” Sullivan has already written the sequel to Unsolved Case, Prime Suspect, which is currently in the editing stages. Prime Suspect provides additional backstory about Ariel’s parents’ murder from the murderer’s perspective, then picks up where Unsolved Case, which ends on a cliffhanger, leaves off.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
Greta (R)
It’s “if you see something, say something” not “if you see something, become overly involved in a stranger’s life” — is the lesson I take from Greta.
But when Frances (Chloë Grace Moretz) sees an unattended purse sitting on a seat in a New York City subway she does not get as far away from it as possible and then get off at the next stop and tell the first uniformed person she sees. Instead, she picks it up and, when there is no one at the customer service booth, she brings it home with plans to deliver it in person to the woman listed on the ID card inside. Her roommate Erica (Maika Monroe) makes fun of her for this rube behavior — which is somehow chalked up to Frances being a polite country mouse from the wilds of Boston? The next day, Frances visits Greta Hideg (Isabelle Huppert) to give her the purse. Oh thank you, come in for some coffee, let me tell you some foreshadowy elements of my life and how about you dish on some things I can use to emotionally manipulate you later. Frances offers to help Greta pick out a new dog and later tells Greta about the recent loss of her mother, which Frances is still having a hard time with. Erica warns Frances against making Greta her new mom figure but Fran-

ces is happy to spend time with what she thinks is a lonely widow whose own daughter lives far away. But then she finds the cabinet full of purses — each one with contents identical to the one she returned and some of them containing the name and phone number of the person who returned them. Yikes, I’m out, thinks Frances. But Greta will not let her mark go so easily. Why the same purse, I couldn’t help thinking? Why wouldn’t you leave differ-

ent purses, does a satchel get returned faster than a bucket bag? And wouldn’t it be more interesting to leave different things in each — maybe an inhaler in one, a larger wad of cash in another, family photos in another. What are people more likely to return? Is there actually some monetary point at which people feel more compelled to return money than keep it? Like, $20 people might keep but $500 they feel they must return? Unfortunately, Greta isn’t conducting a
social experiment, she’s an unhinged predator, so she isn’t too concerned with testing hypotheses when throwing out her bait bags. I liked elements about the movie more than I liked the experience of watching the movie as entertainment — it’s nice to have a thriller that doesn’t lean on sexual violence for its tension or degrade its female lead for sport. Moretz gives her character a nice amount of pluckiness even though she is vulnerable. Huppert seems to enjoy playing the nuttier side of Greta and gives the character a fitting off-kilter quality. And I don’t hate the ending — more horror movies could end like this, I thought in the movie’s final scenes. (To explain why, exactly, would be to spoil one of the better aspects of the movie.) Moretz is a solid actress who conveys real-human-like reactions and Huppert is good as the sad French lady and even better as the deranged villain. But the set up of Greta is scarier on paper than it is in action; the above average parts have promise but it never quite clicks together. C+ Rated R for some violence and disturbing images, according to the MPAA. Directed by Neil Jordan with a screenplay Ray Wright and Neil Jordan, Greta is an hour and 39 minutes long and distributed by Focus Features.
*The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (PG) Voices of Elizabeth Banks, Chris Pratt. Set some five years after the first movie, the Legos are now living in a “heck-ish” apocalyptic wasteland and fearing a disaster known as “ourmomageddon.” I loved the music, loved the characters old and new and loved the way the movie touches on change (in interests, in sibling relationships, in friendships). A
Green Book (PG-13) Mahershala Ali, Viggo Mortensen. If you can strip away the, like, four controversies attached to this, the Best Picture winner of 2019 according to Oscar voters, and are moved to look at this in its best possible light I think what you have is a feel-good story about Tony Vallelonga as told by his son and this adventure he had: grandpa’s adventure with a musician in the Deep South in the mid20th century. I think ultimately
this cornball movie — which you are also fine not watching if just the description of it and its sidelining of Dr. Don Shirley, Ali’s character, sounds exhausting — is not the worst movie of the year but also not equal to the pressure that comes with being lauded as one of the best. B-

• Good vibes: With influences ranging from Prince to Jeff Buckley, Fil Pacino is a versatile singer and guitar-player with a deep catalog of covers and a few tasty originals like the moody 2016 single “Walls.” His Facebook page promises “big moves coming soon,” so there’s more on the horizon from a performer who describes his genre as “loud-quiet-fast-slow.” Thursday, March 7, 9 p.m., Stumble Inn Bar & Grill, 20 Rockingham Road, Londonderry. See filpacino.com. • Double doubles: Inspired by Ann Wilson’s cover of “Stairway to Heaven,” Heartless mashes up Heart and Led Zeppelin – the twist being the Zeppelin songs were all covered by Heart. Jasmine White leads the Vermont-based band, nailing “Crazy on You” and “Whole Lotta Love” with equal skill. Note: the real thing will be in town this summer for a reunion show. Saturday, March 9, 8 p.m. Jewel Music Venue, 61 Canal St., Manchester. Tickets $10 at eventbrite.com. • Release it: A multi-band show includes the debut of a new record from Zach Boudrot. “Tongue Tied,” the first single from In the Glue, might have fit nicely in a John Hughes ’80s teen movie, full of Psychedelic Furs angst. Rounding out the all-ages bill are Toluca Lake, The Summer Ends, Don’t Worry About It, Boys Cruise, Zach Brennan and Friday Life. Sunday, March 10, 6 p.m., Bungalow Bar & Grill, 333 Valley St., Manchester. Tickets $10. • Nice guy: Known for doing a clean act, comic Brian Regan has a more vital talent in these polarizing times - he doesn’t go for laughs at anyone’s expense. For Regan, solving the Israel-Palestine conflict boils down to sending over a “really good dad” to treat it like siblings fighting in the backseat of a car. Wednesday, March 13, 7:30 p.m., Capitol Center, 44 S. Main St., Concord. Tickets $52.50 at ccanh.com.
Don’t question Scott H. Biram’s commitment to being a musician. In performance, he does it all, with hands and feet in constant rhythm motion, working a bark, growl and holler vocal style that’s equal parts Delta blues, jagged edge country and brawling boogie. The fury and raw emotion of his live shows are powerful, the investment in his art as clear as glistening sweat. But Biram truly proved his dedication after a head-on collision with an 18-wheel truck nearly killed him in 2003. As soon as doctors reassembled his broken limbs — all but his left arm is held together by metal rods — he was back on stage. With an IV tube dripping into his arm, the plugged-in troubadour hammered down a power chord and laughed in death’s face. Before the crash, Biram’s career was gaining momentum, and whatever his body said, he wasn’t about to ease up on the pedal. “The first thing on my mind when I woke up was, oh no, am I going to have to cancel this tour that I just booked?” he recalled recently from his home in Austin, Texas. “The healing was all about, when do I get to go back, I can’t fall behind. Somewhere around then, I made it a habit to just work as hard as I could towards music and making it happen.” Biram performs as a one-man band, and he’s a touring machine. He’s also an almost possessed producer who brags that his songs have more layers than a Nordic hiker in a shifting climate. “I’ve been recording since I was 14; I’m 45 now, so I’ve been doing it a long time [and] challenging myself to learn more,” he said. “People are like, ‘What books did you read this year?’ and and I’m like, ‘Uhh.... The Art of Engineering.’ I get really excited to try new techniques and things.” For the past few months, Biram has held down a residency in his hometown while working on a new album with the working title Fever

Dreams. That’s a reference to what he calls “the biggest inspiration” for his songs. “I do a lot of writing in the middle of the night ... just wake up because I had some crazy dream, or even have a line that comes to me in a dream,” he said. “I’ll wake up and write it down and then once I get started... I just automatically am on a roll.” A few of the new songs are showing up in his sets. “Whatcha Gonna Do” echoes “Trainwrecker,” a rollicking standout on 2017’s The Bad Testament. The rest of the material ranges across the spectrum, a typical direction for Biram. “It’s a good mix,” he said. “Generally, all my records are a smorgasbord/collage kind of thing, and this one is not any different. I’ve got a Waylon-sounding song, some straight up heavy rock and some singer-songwriter stuff. That’s how it always is; I can’t make up my mind, so I just do it all.” The new album won’t be out for at least a year, but in the near term Biram is releasing a vinyl EP with Austin musician and pal Jesse Dayton. “He and I recorded a couple of songs with a full band... It’s being manufactured now, so in the next few months you’ll be seeing a Scott H.
Biram and Jesse Dayton 7-inch.” Though he’s an inveterate road dog, Biram’s upcoming stop in Manchester is just his second time in New Hampshire, part of a co-headlining tour with Detroit bluegrass genre-benders The Goddamn Gallows. “I know them well. We’ve played in Europe and Sweden before, so it’s going to be fun,” he said of the pairing. “It’s a lot more fun when we have another band traveling with us. ... I get the camaraderie feeling that I’d get if I was in a band.” Biram has no plans to slow down. “I want to keep on touring until I croak, like Willie’s doing,” he said. “I read a lot of musician biographies — Muddy Waters, Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Woody Guthrie — and that has always kept me going. By remembering they did it, I can do it. They’re just people too.” Scott H.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
Religious rascality
Pastor Alph Lukau of Alleluia International Ministries in Johannesburg, South Africa, is facing lawsuits after a stunt in which he appeared to resurrect a dead man on Feb. 24. Sowetan News reported that a video of the incident shows Lukau placing his hands on the man’s stomach as he lay in the coffin, when suddenly the man, identified as Elliott, begins to gasp for air and sits up. “Can you see what happened?” Lukau exclaims in the video. “This man died since Friday, he was in the mortuary. ... Devil, I told you wherever I find you I will kick you.” Pastor Rochelle Kombou said the hearse driver heard noises coming from the coffin and ran away as soon as they arrived at the church. “I was screaming,” she said. “I saw his tongue moving. ... The man of God completed the miracle by praying because prayer is the key.” The lawsuits, meanwhile, stem from the misrepresentation of the situation to three funeral parlors, whose services were sought by church officials; a coffin was bought from one and the hearse was hired from another. Prince Mafu, who is representing the funeral homes, said the matter had been reported to the Jeppe police station for further investigation.
Unclear on the concept
On Feb. 13, Nina Harris of Kentucky told her husband, Allan, that she wanted tulips for Valentine’s Day. As she explains it: “He wasn’t paying attention. He just said, ‘Yes, I know.’ When I got up, I had my first cup of coffee, and he said, ‘Oh, your turnips are here.’ And I said, ‘Turnips?!’” Nina told WPVI TV. Allan’s story is slightly sweeter: “I ... put the turnips in the bucket that says ‘I Love You’ on it,” he said. “I went in there, got her coffee — and here you go!” Allan, who admitted he wasn’t really listening when Nina requested tulips, later made it up to her by getting her the flowers AND candy and balloons.
lage police station in Bedwas, South Wales, England. The 44-year-old says her inappropriate language and habit of audibly breaking wind are just part of the “culture of banter” at the station, but she faces 25 counts of inappropriate behavior, including: farting outside her sergeant’s office, using the C-word with a suspect, and propositioning a junior officer (asking if he wanted an affair with a “fatter, ugly, older woman”). DC Fitzpatrick told Metro News that swearing is “just the nature of the place” and she had replaced the F-word with the C-word as her word of choice. However, she appeared to have regrets about her actions, calling them “stupid.”
Wait, what?
Ewwwww!
Filipino medicine man Angelito Oreta, 55, has an unusual method of protecting himself and his home from thieves and attackers. He and his followers raid fresh graves near Manila to steal the kneecaps from corpses. Oreta uses a scalpel to remove the patella, then soaks the bone in coconut oil for several days to dissolve the skin. Once dried, the bones can be found scattered around his home or worn around his neck. “The benefit that the guardian angels from the patellas will bring is that they will help your livelihood,” Oreta explained to Metro News. “The kneecaps are used for protection. Or they also work as a shield.” Oreta gifts the bones to his trusted Bright Ideas • Smartmouth Brewing Co. in Norfolk, friends and followers. Virginia, launched a new “magically ridiculous” beer on March 2: Saturday Morning, Rude a limited-edition IPA — with marshmalDetective Constable Claire Fitzpatrick is lows. Chris Neikirk, brewery spokesperson, no shrinking violet, evidenced by the fact that told USA Today the beer is “brewed with she’s in danger of losing her job at the vilin-house toasted marshmallows and bulk dehydrated marshmallow bits. ... It has a soft pillowy body with a slight cereal taste.” Smartmouth hopes the beer evokes “nostalgia in adults who remember when ... Saturday mornings were a time that you sat around watching cartoons and playing games,” Neikirk added, while warning that the brewery is “not marketing to children.” • If you’re looking for a creepy weekend getaway, The Gas Station along Texas Highway 304 near Bastrop now offers overnight stays. Why, you say? The old filling station was the setting for the 1974 film “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” The Gas Station opened as a restaurant in 2016, serving barbecue and souvenir merchandise to film buffs. Manager Ben Hughes said the Coke machine in the movie is the same one that’s now in the restaurant, and they have a van parked outside that’s an exact replica of the one in the film. Now, he tells KVUE TV, fans can stay in one of four mini-cabins right behind the restaurant. But Hughes promises the staff won’t try to scare you: “We want to make sure that everybody that comes out has a good time ... not just freakin’ out or anything like that.”
Silence of the Lambs, indeed. A Manchester, England, woman named Joan has a unique project in mind for a custom clothing designer. It seems Joan, 55, is anticipating having her leg amputated because of peripheral arterial disease, reported the Daily Mail, so she posted on Sewport.com, requesting help to “create something beautiful and useful” — a handbag, using her own skin. She has budgeted about $3,900 for the project, which she envisions as a “medium-sized handbag with a short strap and a section down the middle that will be made from my skin,” she explained in the post. “I know it’s a bit odd and gross ... but it’s my leg, and I can’t bear the thought of it being left to rot somewhere.” There are no laws against her keeping the limb, although there is paperwork to fill out. Boris Hodakel, the founder of Sewport.com, reports that no designers have come forward yet to help with Joan’s request. Visit newsoftheweird.com.
