Legalized sports betting is coming to America. After the U.S. Supreme Court legalized sports betting in 2018, 39 states either have legalized it or are on the path to legalizing it, including New Hampshire. After passing the New Hampshire House by a wide margin a bill to legalize and regulate sports betting is now before the state Senate, where it is likely to pass. And it should. It’s estimated that the legal sports betting market in New Hampshire will be between $200 and $300 million annually with the state getting $10 to $15 million in tax revenue. While those numbers may be a bit optimistic, it’s clear there is a sizeable sports betting market and legalizing and letting the state regulate it will bring new revenue to state government. Interestingly, support and opposition to legalizing sports betting in New Hampshire are not partisan. There are people of good conscience on both sides and from both parties. The leading arguments for legalizing sports betting are that it’s already prevalent, it’s going to be legal in most other New England states and the harm of making it legal isn’t outweighed by the harm in keeping it a criminal activity. The key arguments really do come down to our legislature weighing the potential harm of legalizing sports betting against the potential gain. Opponents say that legalizing it will “normalize” sports betting, and gambling in general, and that that will feed some people’s addiction to it and make those people worse off. While there certainly is a fun side to sports betting, some people aren’t able to control their behavior around it. The concern is that by legalizing it, more people, more susceptible people will bet. Proponents argue that sports betting is already widespread, though not legally so, and that it’s better to bring into a regulated and legal structure. Yes, there may be some harm but it’s outweighed by the benefit of depriving the backmarket of this revenue and bringing this activity into the open. On top of that many people do enjoy recreational sports betting now. New Hampshire had, at one time, four race tracks with legalized horse race betting. Many opponents argue that by regulating it and taking in tax dollars from it, the state is essentially endorsing it and encouraging more people to do it. To me that argument is a slippery slope; the state regulates many things that have real societal downsides. Alcohol is such an example. Banning it created its own set of societal ills. Sports betting, like gambling in general, is similar. For too long we’ve allowed it to live in the corners of our state and society and it’s now time, as many of our neighboring states are doing, to bring it under state control to capture some of that revenue for the government and to better deal with the addictions associated with it.

NEWS & NOTES Workplace safety

The Senate on April 18 passed a bill created to improve workplace safety of the Granite State’s public-sector employees, the AP reported. The bill, which was introduced after the 2016 accidental death of Northfield Highway Department worker Tom Wooten, would require state agencies, municipalities, school districts and other public employers to reporttserious workplace injuries to the New Hampshire Department of Labor within 24 hours and deaths within eight hours. Additionally, the department would be required to investigate the causes of deaths and recommend precautions taken when appropriate, according to the AP. The bill received unanimous support in the Senate after being passed by the House last month.

CMC expansion

An expansion of Catholic Medical Center in Manchester will soon be underway on about 220,000 square feet of land adjacent to the hospital, according to a press release. The new space is expected to house new facili-

ties for the New England Heart & Vascular Institute, plus up to 90 new private patient rooms and a larger, upgraded Emergency Department. This is the first campus expansion since the opening of the Notre Dame Pavilion and the Sky Bridge over McGregor Street in 2008, according to the release. CMC said it will present its plans to the city’s planning board in May, with the goal to break ground on the new project by mid-summer and open in 2022.

A look into history

The state’s Division of Historical Resources has launched the Enhanced Mapping & Management Information Tool, a new online database that allows users to access more than 16,000 historical documents, NHPR reported. According to the EMMIT website, the map-based online inventory gives subscribers the ability to perform searches for records of the state’s historic and archaeological resources that are on file at the state’s Historic Preservation Office. NHPR reported that Elizabeth Muzzey, director of the Division of Historical Resources,

said she hopes that environmental researches, engineering firms and anyone in the general public who loves history will find the database to be a valuable resource. Registration starts at $60 a month and is available at emmit.dncr. nh.gov.

Incarcerations

New Hampshire’s county jails are seeing significant reductions in inmate populations, the Union Leader reported, some by almost half over a two- to three-year period, according to local corrections officers. The increase in treatment-focused alternatives to incarceration such as drug court and mental health court are likely factors, as well as the controversial bail reform law signed by Gov. Chris Sununu last year. According to the story, overdose deaths among released inmates with high recidivism rates have also played a part. State prisons have seen only a 6-percent reduction in inmate populations over the last five years. State prisons are operated by the state Department of Corrections, while county jails operate independently, the UL reported.

More than a dozen wild bee species across New England are on the decline, the AP reported. Researchers at the University of New Hampshire examined 119 species in the state and concluded 14 of them found across the region were on the decline by as much as 90 percent. A variety of factors have been to blame, including a lack of a diverse food supply and the prevalence of insecticides called neonicotinoids.

Spring turkey hunting season begins May 1, according to a press release from New Hampshire Fish & Game. Biologists are predicting a good harvest this year, citing the lack of long-lasting snowfalls this past winter and the turkeys’ ability to find food sources during thawing periods. About a third of the state’s licensed hunters participate in spring turkey hunting, which last year was part of a 25-percent increase in poultry production compared to 2017.

Karen Thurston of Blue Star Mothers of New Hampshire knows firsthand what it’s like to wait and worry about a veteran who has made threats to harm himself. She once spent several agonizing hours not knowing whether her friend, a veteran, was safe, and she said she was relieved when she found out he was. According to a story from Stars and Stripes in June 2018, the Department of Veterans Affairs reported that an average of 16.8 veterans died by suicide every day (as do about 3.8 active duty service members). Helping veterans is one of the goals of Blue Star Mothers of America, a nonprofit organization composed of military parents of a veteran or a child currently in the military. Thurston and other veterans’ advocates want to hear more about a bill sponsored by U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), called the “National Green Alert Act of 2019.’’ This bipartisan bill would establish a federal commission to develop “best practices” and provide technical assistance to states to implement their own Green Alert systems, according to the bill’s wording. A Green Alert, similar to the Amber Alert for missing children and Silver Alert for lost senior citizens, would alert law enforcement and the public in the event of an “at-risk’’ veteran’s disappearance. “If it has bipartisan support … I don’t see any problem,’’ said Bill Zarakotas, community relations director at Liberty House, a Manchester nonprofit that helps homeless veterans.

Kenneth Norton, executive director of the National Alliance of Mental Illness NH, praised Hassan and Ernst for thinking outside the box to find an innovative way to help prevent suicide. “We support any creative effort to gather input and study ways to provide assistance to veterans at risk,” Norton said. The bill is currently before the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, according to legislative records. Using the Amber Alert system as a model, a set of criteria would need to be met to trigger a Green Alert. For example, the language in the Green Alert bill that was pushed through the Iowa Senate last month includes the following criteria: reporting the missing at-risk veteran within 72 hours of disappearance; the veteran may be missing due to physical or mental health conditions related to military service; and there is sufficient information to disseminate a Green Alert. Once the alert is triggered a message is disseminated to law enforcement and the public to look for this person. “The hard part is finding them [an at-risk veteran],” said veterans’ advocate Bruce Garry of New Hampshire’s Rolling Thunder. Garry stressed that once the at-risk veteran is found, there needs to be a system in place to provide that person with the appropriate help. Locating the at-risk veteran is just one step in the process, Thurston agreed. A veteran-specific treatment program needs to be included, she said. “I’d like to see them put some teeth into this system,’’ she said. In March 2018, Wisconsin became the first state to create a Green Alert system. Five months later Delaware created its own Green Alert system.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Changes to infrastructure required

Climate change will force New Hampshire to make significant changes to its infrastructure in the coming years, according to WMUR. Upon learning via the National Climate Assessment that the numbers of nuisance and high-tide floods have doubled over the last 10 years, and that about 2,500 to 4,600 bridges across the United States are at risk from flooding, the state Department of Transportation determined that it will need to build roads and bridges higher and relocate some that are by the ocean due to possible elevations in sea levels and groundwater. QOL Score: -1 Comment: The number of major disaster declarations in New Hampshire has risen from 10 between 1980 to 2000 to 22 in the last 18 years.

City pond cleanup

The Manchester Urban Ponds Restoration Program began its 20th season of pond and park cleanups on April 20 at Black Brook and Blodget Park. Twelve volunteers spent 14.5 hours collecting 23 bags of trash, nine discarded Christmas trees, one tire, one car bumper and wood debris, according to a press release. The award for “Most Interesting or Unusual Piece of Trash” went to Lou Saviano, who found a Batman watch. Volunteers are still needed for cleanups on Saturday, April 27, at Stevens Pond and Stevens Park, and Saturday, May 4, at Nutts Pond and Precourt Park. QOL Score: +1 Comment: From 2000 to 2018, the program logged 112 cleanups, 987 volunteers, 3,507.5 volunteer hours and 2,288 bags of trash, according to manchesternh.gov.

Hepatitis outbreak continues

Hepatitis A is still on the rise in New Hampshire, according to a recent report by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. The outbreak started in November 2018 and has been increasing in numbers every month since, reaching 33 in March. The total number of diagnosed cases is currently 79. Sixty-three percent of people diagnosed have been hospitalized, and one person has died from complications related to hepatitis. QOL Score: -1 Comment: Many people infected have reported drug use (evident in 67 percent of cases), homelessness (35 percent) and incarceration (11 percent), according to the report.

Homeless sex offenders

Homelessness is high among registered sex offenders in New Hampshire, WMUR reported. Seventy are listed as homeless on the New Hampshire Department of Safety’s website, and there may be more among the offenders who are not required to publicly register due to the lesser severity of their crimes. Homelessness can make it difficult for law enforcement to perform their routine check-ins on offenders, and there are currently 70 offenders who have not been compliant in registering at all. QOL Score: -1 Comment: New Hampshire law states there are no restrictions on where sex offenders can live. They have the right to live near schools or daycare facilities, and the right to have no fixed address, as long as they officially register with that information. QOL score: 63 Net change: -2 QOL this week: 61 What’s affecting your Quality of Life here in New Hampshire? Let us know at news@hippopress.com.

and in the defensive backfield. Not only are those areas deep, but they’re relatively young as well. I don’t expect many, if any, picks used here unless someone slips there with a draft grade far above what the spot usually calls for. The QB is also pretty good and a “young� 41. Top Needs: They need three impact players to depend on for the length of their rookie contracts. A fourth would be a cherry on top. The exact position is not totally important as no team is better at adapting to win different ways with the talent they have. Left Tackle: They’re counting on 2018 top pick Isaiah Wynn to replace Trent Brown. This is a particularly important role with the offense adjusting to a more Sony Michel-led run-oriented offense. That Wynn is coming off missing his entire first season with a torn achilles tendon is daunting, as is having someone so inexperienced protecting Tom Brady’s blind side. But Brown was also a huge question mark before turning out better than the guy he replaced. Plus Matt Light stepped into this spot as a rookie and stayed for 10 years. Plus the track record for drafting O-lineman is solid. I don’t expect any of the first six picks invested here. It’s Wynn’s job. Defensive Line: They lost four guys – replaceable guys Danny Shelton and Adrian Clayborn along with Trey Flowers and Malcolm Brown. The latter two had different jobs, with the inside/outside versatility to pressure QBs of Flowers harder to replace. Michael Bennett is a clear situational improvement over Clayborn and he’ll likely replace some of Flowers’ production too. Brown was run-stopping and beef up front. Two of the first six picks will likely fortify the D-line. The cap room from Gronk’s retirement could fill one hole with a free agent signing. So would Coach B do it with Ndamukong Suh? Impact Receiver: The type depends on what’s available when they pick and the offense will then adjust depending on whether it’s a tight end, an outside speed guy or both. I was hoping they’d get a top tight end

and Gronk would play a couple more years to give them the dynamic double tight end option they had before Aaron Hernandez showed who he really was. With Gronk, Hernandez, Daniel Graham and Ben Watson on the resume the track record is outstanding for tight ends and just the opposite for wideout. I see a tight end in the top six picks and more likely a trade for an outside guy to be a little more certain he can play. There’s also Josh Gordon, but he’s totally house money at this point. Secondary Needs: These are more for depth and having someone ready to step in as veteran starters begin to age. The quarterback situation must be addressed at some point. Defensive Backfield: This group overall is deep, versatile and, the McCourty twins and Pat Chung aside, pretty young. Though if they do go for someone here I’m hoping for the best nickname in the draft, LSU’s Greedy Williams, or simply the draft’s best name, Michigan’s David Long. Edge Rushing: If you read in this space you know I always want this. However, while Flowers is a loss here, a bigger loss from last year’s group is Brian Flores. He was the most aggressive defensive signal caller for blitzing from all angles with a lot of pressure even without a huge sack count. Still I’d like to find a stud edge rushing linebacker. Quarterback: TB-12 has at least two more years as SB-caliber QB, so they don’t have to reach in ways that often lead others to pick early-round busts. And remember in every decade but the 1990s the best QBs since the 1950’s — ’50/60s Johnny Unitas (undrafted), ’70s Roger Staubach (ninth round), ’80s Joe Montana (third round) and 2000s Brady (at 199) — were not coveted players entering their draft. That’s the canvas Coach B has to work with. The over-under on trades is four. I’m taking the over with the hope the much-needed wideout comes in one of them.

The NFL draft begins tonight and it’s a very consequential one for your New England Patriots. The cupboard isn’t bare, but they need a productive weekend, as only Sony Michel and Joe Thuney have been long-haul impact players from their 201618 drafts. The best use of the rest of those picks was for excellent one-year fixes Trent Brown and Brandin Cooks, who are now gone. Since they’ve gone to three straight Super Bowls it’s hard to quibble with their approach. But that was then and this is now. After big roster losses they must fortify the foundation with guys who’ll provide lowcost immediate and long-term impact. With 12 picks overall, including six in the first three rounds, they have the ammo to match what they did in 2010 with a seven-player mix of impact stars and useful contributors. I’d take what Indy did in 2018 getting first team All-Pro players (guard Quenton Nelson and edge rusher Darius Leonard) in the first two rounds. A better fantasy would be duplicating Pittsburgh’s famed 1974 draft, which yielded an astonishing four Hall of Fame players and DB Jimmy Allen, who lasted 10 years in the NFL. They can also go the 2007 route. That year they dramatically upgraded the passing game in a way that also provided long-term benefits by trading second- and third-round picks for Wes Welker and Randy Moss. Given that the QB is 41 that might be the best option. Though with most of their impact guys getting older, Gronk retiring and some major free agent losses they need younger stars. How Coach B does it will probably go opposite of how most expect, so I’ll just look at the puzzle that’s in front of him as I write this. Best Depth Areas: They are solid at running back, offensive line, special teams

So did your Manchester Monarchs, who sent the Thunder back to the Adirondacks from whence they came in a convincing 7-1 Game 5 win on Saturday when Michael Doherty and Kevin Dufour each scored twice in a five-goal final-period sendoff. The winner of the Brampton Beast-Newfoundland Growlers series is up next for the M’s. Sports 101: Wilt Chamberlain won an NBA record 11 rebounding titles. Name the player who was next best to him with seven rebounding crowns. Hot Ticket: Guess the powers that be at the NCAA were happy with the showing with the 2019 Northeast Regional Hockey Tournament. As they announced last week they will bring the event back to the SNHU Arena in 2021, when the two-day tournament will be played on March 27 and March 28, 2021. Babe Ruth Award: To freshman hurler/ hitter Rania Barton for allowing just a pair of hits and one run while striking out nine Goffstown batters in a 4-1 win over Manchester Central when she also had a double and homer among her three hits. Winning Streak of the Week: Make it

The Numbers

1 – run and four hits allowed by the Goffstown pitching duo of Myles Green and Riley Belleau as G-town was an 8-1 winner over Central to earn its first win. 4 – hits allowed by freshman Emma Chamberlain as Merrimack shut out Memorial 3-0 as Jessica Trahan

58 straight for Derryfield after a 7-6 win over Portsmouth in a rematch of the last two Division II lacrosse finals. It was a nail-biter even more than the score indicates as the Cougars led 7-1 at the half and then had to survive being shut out in the second half to 5-0 on the season. Sports 101 Answer: No, it was not Bill Russell, but international diplomat with a concentration in North Korea influence weird Dennis Rodman who’s won the second most NBA rebounding titles with seven ,which he did in consecutive seasons starting in 1991-92. On This Day – April 25: 1964 – The Toronto Maple Leafs finish off a Stanley Cup threepeat with a Game 7 shutout win over the Detroit Red Wings 4-0. However, after winning again in 1967 the NHL team of the 1960s has now gone 51 years without a Cup. 1974 – NFL rule-makers made the most obvious needed rule change in history by moving the goalposts off the goal line to the back of the end zone.

that will thrive in your garden How to grow a harvest of strawberries, tomatoes, green beans and more

When we asked Hippo’s resident Gardening Guy, Henry Homeyer, for his five favorite easy-to-grow fruits and five favorite vegetables, he gave us his picks based on years of growing experience (and admitted that although he counted rhubarb as a fruit, it technically is not — but

justified his choice by saying that “it makes pies and is absolutely no work once established”). Based on his suggestions, we talked to local growers about how to grow them, how to keep them alive and what to do when they’re ripe for picking.

Feeling fruitful

Growing fruits from apples to brambles By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Whether you want to grow fruit for fresh eating or as an ingredient in your next homemade jam, jelly or pie, check out these tips on how to get the most out of your fruit gardens.

Apples Apples have a longstanding growing tradition in New Hampshire, with dozens of varieties available to grow for fresh eating, baking and several other purposes. How to plant them: Like most fruit-bearers, apple trees require a lot of adequate sun, with a hole dug large enough for all of the roots. “You want to spread them out in a nice way and not cut any of them off. Then you pack it down with topsoil or compost and keep it watered,” said Chuck Souther, co-owner of Apple Hill Farm in Concord. “Planting at least two varieties in close proximity to each other helps to share pollen.” HIPPO | APRIL 25 - MAY 1, 2019 | PAGE 10

How to keep them alive: Pruning is essential to making sure the apples have room to grow on your tree. Dormant season pruning during the winter Apples at Apple Hill Farm in months is most Concord. Courtesy photo. ideal. “Once you’ve got the tree planted, you can ask the nursery where you’ve bought it from if it has been pruned before,” Souther said. “The lowest limb should be at least two feet off the ground. Keep the weeds down around them and keep them watered.” There are various guards, nets and other protective tools you can get to keep animals away. Souther said he has also even used bars of soap against potential deer. “Deer love to eat from apple trees, so that’s one thing to think about especially if you’re in a rural area,” he said. “The soap has a fragrant scent that they associate with us. It smells like a person to them.”

What to do when they’re ripe for picking: Elena Whitfield of the Hooksett Garden Club said the time of year your apple will ripen is dependent upon which variety you’ve planted, as well as the weather conditions. You can tell an apple has ripened by the brownish color of the seeds and also when it is easily removable from the tree. Keeping apples that have been picked in cold storage will help them last longer. “When you’re buying an apple tree, it’s best to find out from the description … when they will ripen,” Whitfield said. “Some varieties will ripen in late summer while others in the early fall or late fall.”

Red raspberries Compared to other bramble crops like black or purple raspberries, red raspberries are much more robust when it comes to withstanding New Hampshire weather conditions. They also freeze well and are high in antioxidants, making for a great ingredient in everything from smoothies to pies. How to plant them: Like apples, raspber-

ries need to be in an area with full sunlight and well-drained soil for you to get maximized results. According to Whitfield, there are two types: June bearing raspberries, which only produce a crop once a year between the end of June and the beginning of July; and everbearing raspberries, which produce a branch (or a cane) of just leaves in the first year. In the second year, the cane produces fresh fruit and then dies. Raspberry plants can also be purchased as one-year-old canes. The everbearers produce two crops during the year — a much heavier crop in the spring and a lighter one during the fall. Raspberry plants can be maintained with the use of trellis panels, which are made of either wood or wire mesh and usually attached to either a fence or outside walls of a building. If you use a trellis, it should be implemented Raspberries. Courtesy of the before or at the Amherst Garden Club.

time you plant, Souther said, to avoid any disruption to the growth of the fruit. How to keep them alive: Whitfield said it is suggested to cut raspberry canes back about five feet, because the fruits are easy to pick at that height. Dead canes should be removed to avoid the risk of spreading disease, and also insects that will lay their eggs inside the stem. “Every year, you have to cut out the old canes that have produced for that year,” she said. The biggest thieves of bramble crops in general, according to Julie Butterfield of Berrybogg Farm in Strafford, are birds. There are specific bird netting seals available that are designed to prevent birds from feeding on your berries. What to do when they’re ripe for picking: Whitfield said raspberries will start out very small and have a greenish color, before swelling up and turning pinkish, then finally a bright red. The entire fruit should be a bright red and free of any green spots. “When they are bright red, that’s when you can pick them,” she said. “They practically fall right onto your hand, too.”

Everbearing strawberries Everbearing strawberries are one of three types, the other two being June bearing and day-neutral bearing, according to Whitfield. Like Strawberries at Apple Hill Farm raspberries, the in Concord. Courtesy photo. everbearers will produce one heavier crop in the spring and one lighter crop in the fall. Strawberry beds grown in New Hampshire can consistently produce up to about five years’ worth of healthy crops. How to plant them: Strawberries also require full sun; Souther said he will typically plant strawberries around mid- to late May, before the intense heat of the summer arrives. “We’ll get them in the ground for that whole summer, keeping them weeded, watered and fertilized, and that will push them to nice big leaves,” he said. “Those will root and produce another plant. … It doesn’t look like much at first, but once they start, it turns into a solid row roughly a foot and a half wide.” Whitfield said they should be planted in single or double rows because they will produce runners, or stems that grow horizontally. “I would suggest to keep three runners per plant, because they are going to root and produce another plant,” she said. “After about two years the baby plants take over and the mother plants decline.” How to keep them alive: Souther said that strawberries especially do not respond

well to extreme temperature changes, which is why they should be mulched over the winter, starting sometime during the middle of the fall. The mulch should typically remain on the bed until about mid- to late April. “We use almost anything [to cover them], like straw or pine needles or leaves,” he said. “The idea is to insulate them from the cold and from the temperature extremes, like when it snows and then there’s a January thaw.” What to do when they’re ripe for picking: Strawberries bear a full red color when they are ripe, and should be free of any white or greenish hues when you pick them, Whitfield said.

Blackberries Blackberries can be a little more difficult to grow in New Hampshire due to their sensitivity to the cold, but there are varieties, like the Illini Blackberries at Berrybogg Farm Hardy, that will in Strafford. Courtesy photo. withstand the winter with proper care. How to plant them: The Illini Hardy blackberries are erect brambles with huge thorns that require trellis support systems. Similar to raspberries, fresh fruits are produced within the second year — or the floricanes — as opposed to primocanes in the first year. “Blackberries in New Hampshire usually ripen up around the first of August and continue ripening through the end of the month,” Butterfield said. “You plant them in the spring. It could be April or May, or whenever the soil and temperatures are warm enough.” How to keep them alive: According to Butterfield, blackberries should be grown in an area with full sun but also protected from high winds. “The average homeowner can create a microclimate … by putting up a windbreak with evergreen trees,” she said. “There was one year too when we had them up against our garage, which faced south and created a microclimate for them.” She also said it’s recommended to prune the primocanes at about four feet, because of their tendency to grow out of control. Electric fences and netting can also be placed around blackberry patches to keep animals out. “If you have a large enough blackberry plant, sometimes a bird will nest there, especially if it sees it as protective area,” she said. What to do when they’re ripe for picking: You’ll know when a blackberry is ripe by its taste and texture, Butterfield said. “It’s very sweet and it should almost melt in your mouth,” she said. “Most people like to pick them for jams, or even just eating by themselves. They do freeze very well.” CONTINUED ON 12

Veggie delight Five easy-to-grow vegetables By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

If you want ingredients for a salad or side dish-worthy veggies, here are five of the easiest ones to grow in New Hampshire.

Lettuce Lettuce is easy to plant, easy to grow and has a large yield, Master Gardener Vin Dell’Ova said. It’s a good option for New Hampshire growers because it can survive in Courtesy photo. colder soil. How to plant them: You can start planting lettuce in early spring as soon as the ground is soft, or you can start growing it a little earlier indoors, then transport the plants to an outdoor garden. “The advantage [to growing indoors first] is that they’re going to get to a point where I can pick and eat them sooner after I transplant them,” Dell’Ova said. He recommends four plants per square foot. How to keep them alive: “Lettuce is not hard to keep alive; it’s more tolerant than other vegetables,” Dell’Ova said. Make sure it’s getting sufficient sun — it doesn’t need that much — and is getting water consistently, without getting too wet or too dry. The biggest problem that lettuce plants face is slugs, which Dell’Ova said can be remedied by raising the garden bed or sprinkling some diatomaceous earth around the plants. What to do when they’re ripe for picking: To get the biggest yield from your lettuce plants, only remove as many leaves as you’re going to use that day, rather than picking the whole head or stalk of lettuce at one time. “It’s 11

Rhubarb

While technically a vegetable, rhubarb is a popular ingredient with other fruits like strawberries and raspberries for everything Courtesy photo. from pies to jams and jellies. How to plant them: Rhubarb is one of the easiest plants to grow for a home gardener, Souther said — just give it enough room for growth in the soil and add compost, aged manure and plenty of water. “They really like high organic matter and deep dark, fertile soil,” he said. Butterfield said that because of the large

a choice. You can wait until it’s a certain size and pick the whole thing, but you’re shortening your growing season,” Dell’Ova said “If you just pick the exterior leaves, it will continue to grow.”

Kale Kale is a hardy plant that can withstand New Hampshire’s fluctuating temperatures and has a long growing season, often producing into the fall, according to Dell’Ova. How to plant them: Kale can be planted in early spring. As with lettuce, you can start the plants indoors or outdoors, Dell’Ova said. They can get relatively large, so stick with one or two plants per square foot. “If you overcrowd them, it retards the plant,” Dell’Ova said. How to keep them alive: Kale is “very tolerant of environmental conditions,” Dell’Ova said. It can survive colder temperatures and doesn’t need a lot of sun. Consistent watering, however, is imperative for kale, as it tends to wilt in the hotter months. Insect damage is sometimes a concern; if you have an insect problem, try spraying the plants with a plant-friendly insecticidal soap or peppermint spray. What to do when they’re ripe for picking: Dell’Ova recommends harvesting the kale when the plant gets to be around 10 inches tall. As with lettuce, picking only the leaves you need for the day rather than picking the entire stalk at once will give you the highest yield. “They’ll continue to grow; kale is nice in that respect,” he said. “I only planted a few, and I had a hard time eating everything I could Courtesy photo. harvest.” CONTINUED ON 13 leaves that grow on rhubarb plants, she recommends planting them at least three to four feet apart from each other. How to keep them alive: Rhubarb is easy to maintain with enough adequate watering in the summertime, removal of any excess weeds, and mulching over the wintertime. “It’s better to let the plant establish the roots and pick it the second year rather than the first year,” Butterfield said. “Generally it becomes available in May but for some people it gets a little tougher as the summer goes on.” What to do when they’re ripe for picking: Rhubarb keeps well both in the refrigerator and the freezer — just make sure you only eat the stalks, as the leaves are poisonous. The stalks should be tart in flavor. “The leaves have oxalic acid in them, so it’s best to discard them,” Butterfield said.

Potatoes

Dell’Ova praises the potato for coming in many varieties, being easy to grow and having a long shelf life. If they’re stored in Courtesy photo. a cool, dry place, you can use them “well into the winter,” he said. How to plant them: The easiest and most popular way to grow potatoes, Dell’Ova said, is to buy some at the store and wait for them to start sprouting. “You want to see that growth before you put them in the ground,” he said. Then, you can plant the whole potato, or you can cut the potato into pieces and plant the pieces individually to get multiple plants. How to keep them alive: Potatoes don’t require a lot of care, Dell’Ova said, though too much or too little water can cause some serious problems. “If you have a lot of water, they can rot in the ground, so that’s something you need to worry about in the spring,” he said. “If there isn’t enough water and they get too dry, they become susceptible to insect damage, more so than a lot of other plants.” What to do when they’re ripe for picking: While the potato itself grows underground, a green growth will surface and flower. Once the growth begins to wilt and die, the potato is ready to be harvested. Don’t stab or forcibly pull the potatoes, Dell’Ova said, but rather, use a pitchfork or shovel to get underneath them and pull them up gently from the bottom. Be prepared; there may be a lot. “You could get 10 to 20 potatoes off each plant, depending on the type and size of the potato,” he said.

Sungold cherry tomatoes Growing regular-sized tomatoes can be a challenge, particularly in New Hampshire, but cherry tomatoes are a great alternative, Dell’Ova said. They are easier to grow, less susceptible to the problems that affect regular tomatoes and just as tasty. How to plant them: Tomatoes have a high yield, so one or two plants is enough to feed a family, Dell’Ova said. He recommends buying a tomato plant at a nursery rather than growing from seed, then replanting it in your garden at the end of May. Make sure to give the plants plenty of space as they tend to get bushy and spread out. “They can get out of control size-wise. It takes quite a bit of work to keep them from taking over the garden,” Dell’Ova said. “I usually tie them up or use someCourtesy photo. thing to support

them to keep the branches from getting too heavy.” How to keep them alive: Cherry tomatoes do not often have issues with disease as regular tomatoes do, Dell’Ova said, but they do require the same conditions: a lot of sun, periodic shots of fertilizer and consistent watering. “Watering is the big issue because you don’t want them to wilt,” he said. “If they go several days without water and start to wilt, a lot of times they will come back [after being watered], but if they get to a point where they wilt too much, they will die.” What to do when they’re ripe for picking: The tomatoes are ready to be harvested when they turn bright orange. “They come off pretty easily; just grab and pull,” Dell’Ova said. Harvest every couple of days or more frequently if there has been a lot of rain, which will cause the tomatoes to expand rapidly and crack if you don’t pick them in time.

Green beans The Hippo’s resident gardening expert Henry Homeyer — a.k.a. The Gardening Guy — said green beans are one of his top picks for easy-toCourtesy photo. grow vegetables because they don’t require a lot of care, they’re tasty, and they’re easy to freeze if you grow too many. How to plant them: You can start planting green beans after the last frost. Wait until the soil is above 60 degrees and the ground is completely dry. “Good drainage is important, or they won’t do well,” Homeyer said. “Soggy seeds will rot.” The plants can become fairly large, but you can grow them close together, around 3 inches apart, Homeyer recommends. How to keep them alive: Homeyer said green beans are “pretty self-sufficient and don’t require a very specific set of conditions.” They thrive best in full sun and with regular rain. If it hasn’t been raining, water them once or twice a week. What to do when they’re ripe for picking: There are two main types of green beans: bush beans, which yield one crop in a three-week period, and pole beans, which produce continuously throughout the season if harvested regularly. The best way to tell if the beans are ready to be picked is by size and taste. “It’s a very self-evident thing,” Homeyer said. “You know what a green bean looks like. If it looks like a green bean, and you taste it, and it tastes like a green bean, pick it.” The beans should be mostly smooth; if the seeds inside the pods get large enough to make the outside of the bean lumpy, the bean has overgrown. “Young, tender, smaller beans are tastier than over-aged ones,” Homeyer said.

ARTS New in town

Landscape artist opens gallery on Hanover Street By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

The art scene on and around Hanover Street in Manchester continues to grow with a new art gallery opened by Manchester artist and art teacher Diane Crespo. The Diane Crespo Fine Art Gallery features Crespo’s art as well as space for the classes that she teaches. Crespo’s focus is primarily realism landscapes, which she does in oils and pastels. “Pastels have a very luminous feel; you can get your hands in it and get messy, you can blend, and it’s a very forgiving medium. With oils, I love the smell of it, the fluidity of it,” she said. “I’ll do pastels for a while, then switch to oils. I love both mediums.” Crespo has painted trees, walking paths, marshlands, coastal scenes and more from around New England and her travels. When she sees something she wants to paint, she does a rough sketch on site or takes a photograph, then uses the sketch or photograph to complete the painting in her studio. “I love the outdoors and love being outside,” she said. “Everything inspires me: the way the sun is hitting something in the late afternoon or the shadows it creates and the composition. When I’m outside, it’s endless, the things I want to paint.”

Crespo graduated from New Hampshire Institute of Art in 2011. She had a studio in Auburn and more recently a gallery in Portsmouth. Looking for a larger space that was closer to home, she came across the vacant space at 32 Hanover St. and was excited to contribute to the area’s thriving art scene. “I think it’s great that art galleries are popping up in this area and bringing some culture to downtown Manchester, and I want to help enhance that,” she said. “I have some

Art student hosts eco-friendly fashion show By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

New Hampshire Institute of Art student Kelli Marie Towsley is helping the environment in style with her senior project — an eco-friendly fashion show featuring clothing constructed from recycled textiles. The Eco Fashion Show will take place at The Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester on Saturday, April 27. A 140-foot rectangular red carpet runway will be set up in the Macy’s court, along with chairs for the audience. Prior to studying art with hopes of becoming a fashion designer, Towsley had taken some college courses in environmental science. “I think those courses influenced my fashion design and gave me the idea to be an eco-designer, and that’s why I wanted to do an event to educate the public and show them the importance of reusing and recycling and how it does impact our lives,” Towsley said. The show will feature 32 designs by Towsley and nine designs by Connecticut eco-friendly fashion designer Marion Imbruglio, whom Towsley met at New England Fashion Week in Connecticut. “I really liked her work and actually bought one of her outfits, which I’ll be wearing at the show,” Towsley said. “Her experience in the field is phenomenal. I asked her if she’d 21 Kiddie pool Family activities this week. Children & Teens Sports • NASHUA YOUTH FISHING DERBY Kids ages 3 to 12 are welcome to fish in the hatchery’s freshly stocked pond.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, I have an assortment of milk bottles, most from within New Hampshire but others from Massachusetts. They are not in really clean shape but still have advertising on them from the milk companies. Can you offer and information on value for milk bottles in general? Bill from Bedford Dear Bill, I think my first reaction is a safe one: If they have the name of the milk farm on them, I would look them up either online or by contacting a local milk bottle collector. It’s tough to know, but three out of a million bottles can be worth a substantial amount of money. Most milk bottles are common and were so mass produced that they run in the area of $10 each. You even can find some in the $30 to $40 range. That would be cleaned and with no damage. But every once in a while you hear of someone coming across a rare one, from a farm not producing too many, or in a size or shape or even a color that could make it much more sought after by collectors. Any jars with damage or where the writ-

ing is almost gone on I think it is safe to say there is no value to them. But I would do further research on any that you might have questions on. I hope this was helpful and if you need a referral for a milk bottle collector please feel free to call me. I hope one or even more are treasures for you.

listings@hippopress.com

Now is the time to decide where you should plant bulbs next fall. Here’s what I do: I wander around my property each year in the spring to see what spots are bare of bulb flowers. I bring along those white plastic markers used for labeling, and write “add crocus here,” for example. Then in the fall, when it’s time to plant more bulbs, I don’t have to rely on my memory to know what to plant, and where. When planting bulbs, I label what I’ve planted. That way I’ll see what has performed well, and remember to buy more of the same. For example, I’m always eager to get color in the garden at the same time that the white snowdrops bloom. Two purple-blue bulbs bloom about the same time: Glory-of-the-snow is one plant that overlaps with snowdrops, but is a bit later, as is scilla. This spring I saw a crocus that was labeled Blue Pearl that is blooming with my snowdrops — and before those other two. So I’ll buy 100 of those for fall planting. I bought them at Brent and Becky’s Bulbs — I know because they include tags with each bag of bulbs. And I can order them now for delivery then. This year I am delighted to see that the winter aconite that produced seed two years ago is going to bloom. Last year I recognized the leaves, but it did not produce blossoms. It is a very early bright yellow flower that has oneinch-wide, six-petaled flowers. I’ve grown it before but lost it to cold or rodents or poor drainage, and re-planted in other spots. This new patch will give me 50 or so “free” flowers. I tend to blame bulb failure on drainage problems, not rodents. I mix in lots of compost at planting time and favor hillsides, which helps with drainage. Wet soil is hard on bulbs. Our cats tend to keep rodents away. South-facing hillsides are great for early bulbs as the snow melts off weeks earlier than north-facing plots, and drain well. A bulb plant that I’ve considered fussy is a low-growing iris, Iris reticulata. It is just a few inches tall and has medium-sized blue, purple or (sometimes) yellow flowers. Doing some research I found out why I thought they are fussy: After they bloom, the bulbs divide, producing several little bulblets. These won’t bloom for a few years. So I need to plant some every year until I have a mature colony of them. I also read that they like soil that dries out well in summer, such as in a rock garden or sandy hillside. My lawn is full of snowdrops that have planted themselves. I assume that they produce seeds that wash into the lawn during summer rains. The bulk of my snowdrops are planted on a hillside above the lawn. But you can plant early spring bulbs in the lawn, too. Just don’t plant daffodils or anything with large leaves

because you won’t be able to mow the lawn where they are growing until the leaves yellow and dry off, around July 4. Bulb plants need to re-charge their batteries, if you will, by getting sunshine and storing energy. Little bulbs like snowdrops, crocus and grape hyacinths have short leaves that disappear early and won’t disrupt your early mowing. You can always set the lawn mower blades high to protect the leaves if they are still green when you need to cut the lawn. Grape hyacinths are great little flowers that come in many different shades of blue and purple. I’ve planted many dozens in my day, but find they tend to lose vigor and disappear with time. So I plant them again. Whenever I see grape hyacinths for sale in pots at the grocery store, I buy them. I enjoy them immensely in the house. Later, when the soil is thawed, I plant them outside. I keep the pot in a cool space indoors, as if they get too warm, they flop over. Tulips I treat like annuals. Why? They do well the first year but quickly go downhill or disappear in subsequent years no matter what I do. I plant 100 most years in a bed that I reserve for them. Later I plant zinnias in the same bed, so I don’t bother to coddle them. My corgi, Daphne, keeps the deer away. Daffodils are slightly poisonous to deer and rodents, so they aren’t eaten — and can bloom for years. You can plant them in open woodlands and they will do fine. By the way, if you forced paperwhites this winter, don’t bother planting them outdoors — they’re not hardy here. I’ve been paying attention to bulb flowers at least since I was 9 years old. I recently found entries in my diary that tell me so. My entry for March 7, 1956, in its entirety was this: “Spring is getting here at last the snow drops are in bud + will bloom in a few days.” Then on April 5 I wrote,” Today our first crocus was in bloom it is very pretty.” As a guy who makes his living writing, I no longer keep a daily journal. I tend to document my life now with a digital camera — and this column. Thanks for keeping me writing! Henry lives and gardens in Cornish Flat. You may reach him at henry.homeyer@comcast.net.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Starting issues keep Porsche Boxster off the road

Dear Car Talk: I have a 2007 Porsche Boxster S, which I love, but don’t take out much for fear of not being able to get home. When it’s cold, it starts fine and runs By Ray Magliozzi great. However, if I am doing a bunch of short trips, with each start, it cranks slower and slower until it won’t start. If left alone for a while, it will then start. The battery has been replaced, though this is not likely the issue as it will come back to life on its own. I have mentioned it at the dealership when I have brought it in for annual service, but beyond replacing the battery, they have not had much insight. It has been like this for the few years I have owned the car, and I have taken to leaving it running if I’m making a couple of quick stops. I’d prefer to not have it stolen. Any ideas? — Stuart I don’t see a lot of Boxsters in the shop, Stuart. My labor rates are about $300 an hour too low. But speaking generally, it sounds like a classic case of a bad starter motor. When a starter fails, it often gets harder to turn, especially when it gets hot. It’ll try to

turn at its normal speed by drawing more and more electricity. But as it heats up and binds up, eventually even the extra electricity can’t make it crank at normal speed. So, I’d certainly start by testing the starter. When the car is good and hot, and it’s exhibiting this behavior, drive it to any good mechanic and have him see how many amps the starter is drawing. It probably should be drawing 150 or 200 amps. If it’s drawing 400 or 500 amps, then it’s very likely that the starter is bad. At that point, you put in a new starter and hope that fixes it. It probably will. But if it doesn’t, then the news gets worse. That suggests to me that the engine could be starting to seize up. It could be due to overheating or lack of proper lubrication, but if the pistons aren’t moving easily in the cylinders when the engine is hot, that could also explain slow cranking. If that’s your problem, I’d go back to leaving the car running when you do errands. Having it stolen might be your most economical solution, Stuart. Dear Car Talk: I like to do my own car maintenance, including replacing spark plugs. I recently bought a set of NGK spark plugs online at a really good price. Then I had a thought — maybe they were stolen or fake.

I did some research and found that they were made in China and were definitely fake. NGK’s website provides details of the fake plugs and how to identify them. NGK warns that the fake plugs can cause serious engine damage and mileage would likely suffer. The boxes holding the fake and real plugs are the same, and there are very small differences between the look of the plugs. How do you protect against counterfeit car parts that can seriously damage a car? — Steve It’s not easy, Steve. The internet has made buying auto parts easier than ever. It’s also made buying counterfeit parts easier than ever. I suppose the best advice is to simply beware of a deal that sounds too good to be true. The term “buyer beware” was first invoked in the Pleistocene Era, when a caveman named Ook sold his neighbor, Grog, a club that turned out to be hollow. Grog went back to try to beat Ook over the head with it, but that had little effect. So, Grog invented the term “buyer beware” and later went on to found the Better Caveman Bureau. And while the items that are sold and the way they are sold have changed over the millennia, two things have remained true: Humans are suckers for a bargain, and there’s

Spring Special

always someone looking to take advantage of the fact that humans are suckers for a bargain. I assume you were shopping for the lifetime iridium electrode plugs, Steve. You certainly don’t want to install anybody’s cheap, counterfeit spark plugs because if the electrode breaks off or if the plug gets stuck in the cylinder head, the repair will cost you at least 200 times what you saved by finding a “bargain.” Even if the bogus plugs fail in a non-catastrophic way, you still have to redo the whole job, which is time-consuming on modern cars because the spark plugs are often hard to reach. My advice is to start by comparing prices at known, reputable sellers. If you look around for the NGKs from well-known auto parts retailers, you’ll find they generally sell online for about 10 or 15 bucks a plug for most cars. So, if you find a set of four for $12 from Rudy’s House of Spark Plugs, that’s a pretty good clue those are fake. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, Steve. Especially on the internet. P.S. You might want to check that Gucci handbag you bought online for your wife. Especially if it says “Goochie” on the logo. Visit Cartalk.com.

Over the course of nearly a decade, the Hippo de Mayo Taco Challenge grew to include as many as 50 restaurants in downtown Manchester selling their own creative takes on tacos for $2 each. Now, the Hippo has handed over the reins to Intown Manchester, which will put on the Intown Taco Tour on Thursday, May 2, from 4 to 9 p.m. Intown Manchester Executive Director Sara Beaudry said the event’s basic formula has been kept the same. No price of admission is required — just come down to Elm Street any time during the five-hour period and get as many tacos as you can eat for $2 apiece. Elm Street was partially closed for the duration of the taco tour for the first time last year, but Beaudry said even more street closures are in place this time around, including Hanover and Lowell streets between Elm and Chestnut streets. Elm Street itself will be closed as well, from Bridge Street to Lake Avenue. The closures will be in place from one hour before the event starts to one hour after it wraps up. “We wanted to enhance a few things and just make it more fun and spread out for people to walk around and enjoy,” Beaudry said. Attending the taco tour is a unique experience that you don’t have to be a lover of Mexican food to enjoy. When Hippo Publisher Jody Reese started the event in 2011, it became

not only an opportunity to bring people downtown to discover local restaurants, but for chefs to experiment with different flavors, using the taco shell as a blank canvas. The results have produced dozens of unique creations over the years from dessert tacos to breakfast tacos, and everything in between — much like what you will see this year. Baked Downtown Cafe & Bakery, for example, is preparing a cookies and cream cheesecake soft taco with white and dark chocolate drizzles, while the Hilton Garden Inn will be serving a buttermilk chicken and hot honey taco with cilantro ranch, lettuce and tomato on a flour tortilla. Several newcomers are joining the party, like Noodz on Elm Street, which will serve a Korean barbecue pork taco; B’s Tacos, a Londonderry-based food truck that will be selling chorizo and pork tacos on fried corn tortillas; and Buba Noodle Bar on Lowell Street, offering a marinated pulled chicken taco with turmeric, onions, eggs, lettuce and a creamy hoisin sauce. A number of vegetarian options are going to be available too, like the eggplant polpetti taco from Campo Enoteca on Elm Street. A new feature to this year’s taco tour, Beaudry said, is a complimentary trolley courtesy of Great Bay Limousine that will be making multiple stops every 10 minutes to various locations on the outskirts of the closed streets, including Fratello’s Italian Grille, The Foundry Restaurant, the Currier Museum of Art and

Intown Taco Tour. Courtesy photos.

Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, where even more taco vendors will be set up. “The trolley will basically go in a circle around the downtown street closures … and it’s free for anyone who wants to jump on board,” she said. “It’s hopefully going to just make it easier for people to navigate.” Other new features will include a rock climbing wall and bungee jump courtesy of Vertical Entertainment, free smoothie samples from The Smoothie Bus, several local craft vendors, and live music on Elm and Hanover streets. This year’s event proceeds will benefit Families in Transition — New Horizons.

Loaded potatoes

Nashua’s Baked PotatoFest returns By Matt Ingersoll mingersoll@hippopress.com

With nearly a dozen toppings to choose from, you can build your own loaded baked potato at the Breakfast Exchange Club of Nashua’s annual Baked PotatoFest. The event, which will return for its fifth year on Monday, April 29, at the Nashua Senior Activity Center, will feature baked potatoes with a variety of toppings, plus salads, beverages, a special dessert, door prizes and raffles. “We were trying to come up with an idea for a fundraiser that would not only be different but would still be affordable for people,” event planning chair Beth Todgham said. “Fortunately, not

too many other people or groups were doing potato fests, so it kind of has its own niche.” Todgham said one of the unique aspects of PotatoFest is the availability of so many toppings, allowing you to customize your own and even make a meal out of it. Attendees are provided one baked potato upon entry, which they take to club members and other volunteer assemblers to get it loaded with toppings, including shredded cheddar cheese, butter, sour cream, bacon, green onions, black olives, salsa, broccoli or chili. Todgham said you decide what goes on your potato, and when and where to eat it. “You can either sit down there to eat it or get your potato to go,” Todgham said. “A number of

people will come in to get their potatoes packed up, and then they don’t have to cook that night. … We’ll also have a salad and a cake for dessert.” PotatoFest also features a door prize drawing available to all attendees at the door, as well as a white elephant raffle for new and gently used gifts and household items. Tickets to the raffle are available at $5 for a set of 25.

Todgham said the social atmosphere is what most people love about the event. Proceeds benefit several of the club’s programs for Nashua-area seniors. “It really is a great evening for people to enjoy … with friends and family, and it gets club members together too so that they feel like they are making a difference,” she said.

5th annual Baked PotatoFest When: Monday, April 29, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Where: Nashua Senior Activity Center, 70 Temple St., Nashua Cost: $6 in advance and $8 at the door for adults, and $6 for children ages 12 and under. Advance tickets can be purchased at the

Nashua Senior Activity Center front desk or by emailing the Breakfast Exchange Club of Nashua at BXCNashua@gmail.com. Contact: Visit 2019potatofestbxc.eventbrite. com or see “Nashua Breakfast Exchange Club” on Facebook

Beet noodles Zucchini noodles are zoodles, so are beet noodles boodles? I really can’t keep up. But the name doesn’t really matter, because no matter what you call them, spiralized beets are so delicious. Their shape makes them a bit harder to turn into noodles but the end result is a firm, easy-to-eat vegetable noodle that works perfectly in non-Italian noodle dishes. Beets are an incredible food. For one, they are so vibrant they can stain your clothes, your teeth and your countertops. It’s also not a bad idea to handle them with gloves on. Beets will forever make me think of Dwight Schrute from The Office — they are truly unsung heroes of the root vegetable world. Beets are rich in fiber, folate, vitamin C and potassium. They’re filling and they’re tasty, which makes them a critical vegetable to work into your rotation.

You could drink Corona or Dos Equis or Negro Modelo on Cinco de Mayo and I think you’d be pleased. But you could also spice things up a bit more this year. Years ago, I remember taking a sip of Ballast Point’s Habanero Sculpin IPA and finding the brew borderline undrinkable. My mouth was on fire but I was drinking a beer? It didn’t make sense at the time. It was just a confusing moment for my taste buds. I wasn’t ready for that type of an explosion of flavor. Today, you’ll find an array of brews featuring spicy flavors, from big, rich stouts with flavors of Mexican dark chocolate and chile peppers to lighter brews that finish with a resounding kick. You’ll find beers brewed with a variety of different chiles, as well as Sriracha. For example, Flying Dog Brewery in Maryland features a “Heat Series,” which includes an Oaked Chipotle Ale and an Ancho Lime Paradise Lager that will be available later in May. Many spicy brews tend to be limited-release offerings, such as Rogue’s Sirarcha Stout. I’m still not 100-percent sure how I feel about beers brewed with spicy flavors — largely I’ve found them hit or miss — but brewers have been relentless in their experimentation in recent years, and I’ve enjoyed a number of spicy brews since that initial sip went awry. One brewery in New Hampshire is embracing the spice like no other. In fact, Throwback Brewery in North Hampton is hosting a “Spicy Day” on Sunday, May 5, from noon to 7 p.m. to celebrate the release of its Spicy Bohemian, which is a jalapeño Pilsner. The Spicy Bohemian is light and refreshing but it hits you like a jalapeño popper, so in a good way. Throwback will be celebrating the release of its Spicy Bohemian, but that’s hardly all the brewers there have in store on this day of fiery heat. In addition to an array of fiery foods, Throwback will feature a series of limited-release spicy brews, including a Candied Ginger Pepper Sour, which is brewed with candied ginger and hot peppers, giving Throwback’s kettle-soured blond “an enjoyable sweet heat,” said Alissa Holmes, marketing and events manager at Throwback Brewery. Throwback will release a Cayenne Cajun Common Ale, which is a lightly roasted, dark California common, “amped up with zesty cayenne and cajun spices,” Holmes said. Finally, for people whose taste buds may have been singed right off, Throwback will release a Bock with Ghost Pepper,

which is a concoction pairing Throwback’s malty Sandman bock with the intense heat of ghost pepper. Honestly, I don’t know exactly what to make of all that spice, but I’m certainly intrigued. If you’re not sure how you feel about spicy brews, I feel like you will have your answer after this event. Beyond the beers, Throwback will be offering a number of spicy foods, including house-made tamales, tacos, sausages and “beer-battered” treats. Seems like this is your chance to embrace the heat. And if the heat is too much, grab a Corona. Jeff Mucciarone is an account manager with Montagne Communications, where he provides communications support to the New Hampshire wine and spirits industry. What’s in My Fridge Citra Cutting Tiles Double IPA by Trillium Brewing Co. (Canton, Mass.): Did I go and wait in line for this brew? No, but my brother must have because he left a four-pack at my house — much to my delight. Trillium brews are among the most sought-after in the Northeast and with good reason. The Citra Cutting Tiles is brewed with raw wildflower honey and you can pick up the sweetness from the honey right off the bat, although it’s nicely balanced. This brew is extremely hazy with big notes of tropical fruit. The brew has very mild bitterness and definitely doesn’t drink like an 8.5-percent ABV beer, so watch out. I’m still opposed to waiting in long lines for beer, but I get why people might wait for this one. Cheers!

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Dave Douglas, Uri Caine and Andrew Cryille, Devotion (Greenleaf Music)

To let us know about

There’s a lot to absorb from this post-bop-to-avant-jazz release from a trio headed by trumpet juggernaut Dave Douglas, who also serves as the Greenleaf indie label’s boss. What sounds like a sunny but deeply organic — even slightly clamorous — rendering of obscure ’50s and ’60s masterpieces is actually a set of much older things that Douglas and pianist Caine have fiddled with for many years. In fact, the meandering, attention-grabbing tuneage isn’t from a Davis or Monk or anyone like that, it’s based on pieces from the Sacred Harp, a historical tunebook from 1844 whose basics branched off from an a capella tradition of sacred music that goes all the way back to around 1770. There’s more to all that, but we do need to tend to the core business, which is this band’s dogged reworking of these songs, which, it turns out, was like overhauling a Model A and turning it into a jet-fueled hot rod. The upshot is that they had some long-lost melodies to work with, so they had a huge stockpile of items that fit quite well as bits and parts. If you want a great, intimate release from a top-drawer trio that has all sorts of old-school feel, try this one. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

Originating from the East London ska-core scene, this female-fronted quartet does tend to make the listener re-think the whole “all ska bands sound the same” notion, at least on the strength of their adding sudden bursts of punk-metallic aggression. They’re becoming quite the thing these days, gigging constantly at Euro-festivals, getting plays on BBC 6, and things like that; their sound is a volatile bag of curveballs in which a sunny one-drop loop can flip its lid and spazz out at the drop of a hat. That’s not to say this scene is a throwback to Dance Hall Crashers or whatnot; the emphasis is on the ska, not the punk, politically disillusioned lyrics getting an assist in baring their teeth through grunge-garage segments interrupting pedestrian island-vacation parts. Thus it’s not for everyone; “Learning to Swim,” for example, is twothirds Oldians topped with a layer of Garbage. An interesting genre I wouldn’t expect to find gaining stateside ground for a few years yet, but ya never know. A — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • On to April 26 we go, and all I’m excited about so far as pertains to this week’s docket of always-probably-awful bands on tap is the opportunity to write the band name King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard again! Yes, these Australian psychedelic-rock knuckleheads have a new album dropping on the 29th, titled Fishing for Fishies, three words that just belong together, you know? No, seriously, don’t you wish you’d literally have to write the words “King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard” in an actual sentence intended to be submitted for actual editorial review by actual newspaper editors (if my editors haven’t even simply given up by now and taken to spending their allotted “Saeger editing time” doing rum shots), because it’s part of your actual livelihood? Remember, these guys threatened to put out like 50 albums this year, which is probably the only way to make money as a self-financed band these days, but that’s another thing I admire about these guys, they have no shame, like literally none. Should I bother seeing what their new opus sounds like this time, or just put “awesome” in 60-point font, call it a column, and chase my cat around the house for a few minutes? Oh whatever, fine, I’ll go to the YouTube, trudge trudge trudge. Right, so the title track is like Blind Melon meets The Wiggles, as if cotton candy suddenly came to life and demanded to be made into a song about fishies. Everyone on earth should add it to their Pandoras at once and maybe the whole system would break, good riddance. • You’re probably familiar with Australian trip-hop-electronic dude Nick Murphy, at least when he called himself Chet Faker and put out that song “Gold,” the one with the half-naked rollerskating girls, the famous downtempo soul tune that was like Bill Withers thrown into a test tube with Jamie Liddell. Anyway, like I said, he also goes by Nick Murphy, and he’s releasing a new album, Run Fast Sleep Naked, as we speak. I don’t mind the single, “Sanity,” since its beat combines salsa and ’70s jazz (pretty much), over which he tables a vocal that crosses Withers with Drake; the bonking hard-ass piano sample does get stuck in your head without causing too much aggravation. • Oh what now already. Hmph, it’s another trip-hop guy, a Brazilian human named Amon Tobin, with a new album called Fear in a Handful of Dust, except he’s considered IDM as well, leaving it up to us to figure which parts of his songs are IDM, which parts are trip-hop, and which parts are just him clicking the wrong thing on his Pro Tools. OK, so back in 2008, he streeted a song called “At the End of the Day,” with this weird fairytale beat, and it was awesome, made up of manipulated field recordings. This leads me to believe that he knows what he’s doing, and after checking out his new single, “On a Hilltop Sat the Moon,” I’d say he still does. There’s super-weird (but gentle) glitch, a ghostly mellotron sound, and some other ambiance. • Uh oh, it’s P!nk, the lady who most people think is either Ke$ha or whatever other The Voice contestant when they hear her tiresome diva opuses. Hurts 2B Human is her new album, single is “Walk Me Home,” an epic diva power-ballad that sounds like Adele with a synth guy. Email any questions. — Eric W. Saeger

NH shops celebrate Independent Bookstore Day By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Independent Bookstore Day was started in 2015 as a one-day national celebration of independent bookstores and their customers. It’s held every year on the last Saturday in April; this year’s IBD is on Saturday, April 27, and will have 14 New Hampshire bookstores participating — a big jump from last year, when only three bookstores participated. “We [bookstores] provide a space for people and do things for the community that an online merchant can’t do … and that’s what we’re celebrating,” said Elisabeth Jewell, event coordinator for Gibson’s Bookstore in Concord, which has participated in IBD since its beginning. “[IBD] is a public love letter to independent bookstores. It’s a chance for customers to express their love for bookstores for what we bring to the community and how we interact with the community.” IBD fans have Gibson’s Bookstore to thank for the increase in bookstore participation as Gibson’s spearheaded a new

element for this year’s event, a “passport” that attendees can get stamped at each participating bookstore they visit that weekend. “The plan is to encourage people to go on a road trip and visit bookstores that they might not have had a chance to visit or didn’t know existed,” Jewell said. “Each store curates its collection toward the local community, so it’s interesting to see what books and merchandise are important to people in [other communities].” If you get at least seven stamps you can redeem your passport for a sheet of coupons that are usable at all of the bookstores, and you can be entered into a raffle to win one of the 14 donated bookstore ELISABETH JEWELL gift cards. “It’s really nice that all the bookstores are coming together to do this,” Jewell said. “In some industries, [the businesses] are competitors against each other, but in this [independent bookstore] industry, we’re all rowing in the same boat and pulling the oars together.” All participating bookstores will sell merchandise released exclusively for IBD, which may include special-edition books, signed art prints and covers and literary-themed novel-

[Bookstores] provide a space for people and do things for the community that an online merchant can’t do ... and that’s what we’re celebrating.

Meet Jean Bosco Rutagengwa

Deep Creek: Finding Hope in the High Country, by Pam Houston (W.W. Norton & Co., 299 pages)

Saturday April 27, 2pm New Hampshire author and former Rwandan government official Jean Bosco Rutagengwa to appear at the Milford Toadstool on Saturday, April 27 th 2:00 p.m. 25 years ago Mr. Rutagengwa, author of the new memoir, Love Prevails, was a Director General of Foreign Trade and Chief of Staff at the Rwandan Ministry of Commerce. He and his fiancée Christine were among the millions of people swept up in one of the most terrible events of modern times, the campaign of genocide against the Tutsi people. Over the course of 100 days more than one .00 million perished. Jean Bosco and Christine were able to find refuge in the famous “Hotel Rwanda”. Most of their family were not so fortunate. They survived paperback and eventually emigrated to the United States, where they currently reside in New Hampshire with their children.

$25

The Rutagengwas story of survival is at once a love story and a harrowing look at what happens when a country is overrun by evil. Theirs is also a story of faith—an effort to find God in the midst of horror, to continue to believe even as you face the death of your loved ones—and of their struggle, when the horror finally ended, to find and to share meaning, healing, and reconciliation. The event is free and open to the public. Please call the store at 673-1734 for more details.

It started with a text message from a good friend: “You have GOT to check out the author Pam Houston. I just saw her at Gibson’s and I know you would LOVE her writing.” I hadn’t heard of this author before, but I wasn’t going to ignore a recommendation like that, so I purchased Houston’s newest book, Deep Creek. I sat down and opened the book. Several hours later I was still reading. My friend was right. I love Houston’s writing. This is a brilliant author. Deep Creek is the memoir of an untethered Houston who leverages all her money to buy a large ranch in Colorado in order to grow roots. It’s a story of finding personal power as she figures out how to support herself and run her ranch. It’s also a story of standing up to bullies who try at various times to take away her land. Houston writes of her traumatic childhood and she uses the survival skills she learned over the years to become strong and independent. Living and working on her ranch gave her the balance and grounding she needed in her life in order to thrive. Each chapter is an essay but added together they weave a story that, just like the land where Houston lives, is immense and beautiful. She uses words to depict her world as skillfully as any artist would use paint to do the same. In one chapter she takes some bedding out to the fields and sleeps under the stars. In a college class that she taught (in order to pay the ranch bills) she asks how many of her students had ever slept under the stars. The answer was zero. To her that seems inconceivable. In another chapter we read about one of her dogs reaching the end of his life. We see how she respects his life and how the dog is treated with nothing but honor for his contributions to her life. It is a stunningly beautiful story. Houston also writes about devastating local fires and how climate change results in real impacts to her land and the surrounding wildlife. It’s a warning from someone who literally has boots on the ground and who can see direct connections. Each chapter takes a theme and then at the end translates that theme along with

the information presented into a lesson learned, an uplifting moral to the story. “I have always believed that if I pay strict attention while I am out in the physical world — and for me that often means the natural world — the physical world will give me everything I need to tell my stories,” she writes. Story by story we see how Houston creates a home, a sanctuary out of her ranch. She slowly integrates herself with the town folk and she connects in a deeply spiritual way with the land. She recognizes that storms (even violent destructive ones) are an important part of life. She understands that fruit comes from hard work. And she realizes, as she repairs a fence or brings water to her animals, that we are all connected and need to work together for success. This book is a celebration of a woman who finally learns how to stand on her own two feet after having been knocked down many times. Houston found a place where she felt like she truly belonged, and she managed to turn it into a home that sustained her. Deep Creek is a highly personal, inspiring story of grit, hard work and appreciation. It is thoughtful, wise and truly uplifting. Houston’s skill as a writer is a thing of beauty. Her words constantly show grace and courage. My good friend was right. Not only did I greatly enjoy this book, but I’ve also ordered copies of Houston’s other books. I have found a new favorite author. A — Wendy E.N. Thomas

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

The Curse of La Llorona (R)

An evil ghost from a Mexican folktale about a woman who snatches children terrorizes a family in 1970s Los Angeles in The Curse of La Llorona, a part of the Conjuring Universe.

Yes, Conjuring Universe. What started as a “hey, not bad” horror movie in 2013 (The Conjuring) has its own cinematic universe with six movies and one more scheduled for June (Annabelle Comes Home), according to the Conjuring Universe Wikipedia page. It’s not that it’s undeserved; these movies do bring varying levels of “something more” to the horror genre. But it always sort of takes me by surprise — and usually requires, as we get here, some character referencing his interaction with previous universe installments to tie it all together for me. In this case, Father Perez (Tony Amendola) mentions this evil doll he once dealt with (2014’s Annabelle), when he’s talking to beleaguered social worker Anna Tate-Garcia (Linda Cardellini). Even before Anna is seeking help from a priest she’s pretty beleaguered. A widow since the death of her police officer husband, Anna is raising two children — son Chris (Roman Christou) and daughter Sam (Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen) — and working at the child welfare office, where they are medium-sympathetic to her difficulties. When one of the families she works with is facing trouble, Anna’s boss initially assigns the welfare check to her coworker Donna (Irene Keng) who, as he points out, has not been late every day that week. Anna insists on taking the Alvarez case, though. The mom has a relationship with me, she says, and when she gets to Patricia Alvarez’s (Patricia Velasquez) house, Anna is able to talk her way inside. What she finds is an apartment covered in candles and hangings that you don’t need an ex-priest shaman to tell you are meant to ward off evil. When Anna

None? Who knows? The internet knows; stay away from the internet) of the original Avengers. Captain Marvel’s Brie Larson joins, like, every other Marvel character who isn’t dead (or are they?) in this sequel to last April’s Avengers: Infinity War. If you really really want to see it this weekend, I do recommend buying tickets as soon as possible.

finds a locked door, she fights with Patricia and is able to open it, finding Patricia’s two sons, Carlos (Oliver Alexander) and Tomas (Aiden Lewandowski). The police take the boys off to temporary housing with Anna telling the under-arrest Patricia that they will be safe. But Patricia yells that an unspecified “she” will now be able to get her boys. Indeed, that night the boys, like many a horror-movie child before, are sleep-walked to doom. When Anna is called to the scene in the middle of the night, she brings her own children with her. She leaves them locked in the car but Chris, interested by police work and its connection to his late father, goes exploring and runs into a weeping woman clad all in white. Woman? Ghost? Creepy undead demon corpse? Some amalgamation of that as crafted with leftover The Nun makeup? That is what La Llorona (Marisol Ramirez) is here, a woman with a Medea-ish backstory who drowned her own children centuries ago, an

ticularly if you are looking for multiple seats together and seat pickings at theaters around Manchester the evening of Thursday, April 25, were particularly slim. You can probably find seats on the day and near the time you want to go as this movie appears slated to run in a bajillion screening rooms, but planning ahead is probably a good idea. In theaters now: *Shazam! (PG-13) Asher Angel, Zachary Levi.

act that turned her into a personification of pure evil (or something; there’s a bit of “she’s super evil, just go with it” that happens in the explanation). She seeks to take children to replace the ones she lost. Or, at least, take them eventually. At first she engages in that form of ghostly torture I always think of as prolonged messing with its victim. The “evil messes with you” stretch of a horror movie like this is, as it is here, often very “packing peanuts and Easter basket grass” in terms of actual content. (And I can’t remember, at this point if “evil messes with you” is something I first heard on CinemaSins or some similar outlet or something I thought up myself while watching evil, like, pester its victims.) This door creaks open, that curtain flutters without a breeze and then boo! there’s the spooky thing in the mirror or the shadow but then woosh, look again, she’s gone. Even for a movie that shoots these things interestingly and has relatively well-developed characters — both true here — there’s only

so much door-slamming and curtain-blowing a movie can show you before it doesn’t feel so fresh and exciting any more. The “evil messes with Linda Cardellini” period does give us moments of interest, such as when Anna seeks the help of Rafael Olvera (Raymond Cruz), a former priest turned shaman who fights supernatural evil and is recommended to her by the priest. Cruz isn’t a laugh riot but he brings an element of dry humor to the movie that brightens and lightens just enough. Cardellini is no slouch either. She, like Vera Farmiga in the main line story of this cinematic universe, gives some heft to the character and rounds her out, making her more than just a damsel in supernatural distress. Cardellini also helps get to some of the movie’s real terrors, which mostly boil down to parents’ fears for their children. As the torment by La Llorona escalates, Anna’s situation, like Patricia Alvarez’s before her, starts to get the attention of authorities. She and her children are in serious difficulty but instead of receiving help she gets warnings that she too could face the loss of custody of her children. And all this comes on top of the difficulty of raising them alone while both they and she deal with their grief. It’s legitimately dark and scary stuff and, if anything, the demon-lady makes examining these emotions more mainstream-movie palatable. Add this to the Curse of La Llorona’s atmospherics and generally solid construction of story and you have a thoroughly watchable, more-engaging-than-not movie, even if the middle remains a little underbaked. BRated R for violence and terror, according to the MPAA. Directed by Michael Chaves with a screenplay by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis, The Curse of La Llorona is an hour and 33 minutes long and distributed by New Line Cinema.

movie had too many possibilities for what could be plaguing a family that moves into a farmhouse in rural Maine near a pet burial ground which is itself near an ancient Spooky Place. The atmospherics are nice, though, and the house’s proximity to a major thoroughfare traversed by giant trucks will haunt my dreams. C+ *Missing Link (PG) Voices of Hugh Jackman, Zach Galifianakis. From the studio (Laika) that brought you Coraline and Kubo and the Two Strings (the scariness level of those films is similar to this) comes this stop-motion animated adventure tale of an explorer and the bigfoot who asks for his help in finding more of his kind. There

is some villainy (with bad guys carrying guns, which is uncommon enough in kids’ movies that I was surprised by it) that might make it a tough sit for the youngest movie-goers (Common Sense Media labels the movie for ages 8-plus), but the visuals are beautiful. B+ * Us (R) Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke. A woman’s trip to the beach with her husband and children takes an unsettling turn and then spins off into crazy town in this fascinating horror movie from Jordan Peele. Us gives you a lot to think about, moments of genuine creepiness, lots of laughs and even occasionally real terror. That it’s not as perfectly honed as Get Out shouldn’t keep anyone from seeing it. B+

• Twofer: Sharing its name with a Tristan Omand song, Hometown Eulogy is Taylor Pearson on guitar, mouth harp and vocals, with singing and mandolin from Brian Peasley. Based in Contoocook/Hopkinton, the duo began after Peasley taught Pearson “Free Bird” on guitar while the two were in high school. One of their best originals is the rousing, hopeful “Doesn’t Have to Be That Way.” Thursday, April 25, 9 p.m., Penuche’s Ale House, 16 Bicentennial Square, Concord. See facebook.com/hometowneulogy. • Rockers: A great hard rock double bill stars Dead Harrison and Sepsiss, the latter a female-fronted metal band that just released its first EP. Lead singer Melissa Wolfe co-founded the band with synth player William Savant, who also provides bullhorn backing vocals. The just-released video for “To Write Hate On His Arms” is intense, anthemic and compelling. Go Friday, April 26, 9 p.m., R’evolution Sports Bar, 8 Temple St., Nashua. DJ Drae plays a “Dark Intermission” set between bands. See tinyurl.com/y6dvglga. • Laughter: Now a real comedy club befitting national acts like Gilbert Gottfried, with great sightlines front to the back for nearly 200 ticket-holders and, more importantly, permanence, Headliners is into its second month. Gottfried got bounced from his Aflac Duck role a few years back for tweeting stuff that wouldn’t earn a timeout these days. Go Saturday, April 27, 8 p.m., Headliners Comedy Club, 600 Elm St. (Doubletree Inn), Manchester. Tickets $30 at headlinerscomedyclub.com. • Mimosas: Breakfast, bloody marys and country music from Nicole Knox Murphy at a biker bar is a sensible combination, as the snow’s all melted and thoughts are turning to summer and Bike Week. An NHCMA winner over multiple years, Murphy can belt out both covers and originals like the autobiographical “Full Circle” and home-state travelogue “My 603.” Go Sunday, April 28, 10 a.m., Broken Spoke Saloon, 1072 Watson Road, Laconia – see nkmsings4u.com. • Threesome: A supergroup power trio, The Winery Dogs consist of Richie Kotzen (Poison, Mr. Big) on guitar and lead vocals; bassist Billy Sheehan, who’s supported Steve Vai, David Lee Roth and others; and drummer Mike Portnoy, co-founder of progressive metal band Dream Theater. Their area shows are so popular that they’ve booked two this time around. Go Tuesday, April 30, and Wednesday, May 1, 8 p.m, Tupelo Music Hall, 10 A St., Derry. Tickets $60 and up at tupelohall.com.

When two musicians connect, the urge to collaborate can’t be quelled by distance. Nicola Cipriani was in a modern guitar class taught by Concord native Brad Myrick at an Italian university when the two met in 2009. A friendship soon formed; since then, they’ve performed together, released a live EP and just completed a studio album, Wanderlust, all while living on different continents. They’ll celebrate the new record, a collection of 10 instrumentals, with a release show Sunday, April 28, at Town Hall in Warner. Its title reflects a spirit permeating the material, Myrick said in a recent joint interview from his home in Hopkinton. “A lot of the tunes both of us have written were inspired by our experiences on the road,” he said. “We’ve been able to travel a lot thanks to music, and that’s how we got to meet each other. ... It’s really a tribute to the totality of our relationship that started as a teacher-student thing and really grew into being friends.” A sense of place both near and far imbues the record. Cipriani wrote “Reñaca” on a beach in Chile; Myrick’s “Everything Stands Still” was inspired by his time living in Los Angeles, and moments when the bustling city would “calm down for just a split second.” More self-explanatory is Cipriani’s “Distanze,” which translates to “distances” in Italian. The pair’s musical bond is almost telepathic — Myrick at one point said he considered Cipriani “more a little brother than a duo partner” — and the songs on Wanderlust reflect

it. All but one was written as a solo piece, and then transformed in the studio through what Cipriani termed as a kind of surrender. “It’s easy to go to some aesthetically pleasing place to show you are capable to play guitar; you have to be really honest to take things out,” he said. “We don’t need to show our skills, we just need to communicate. ... I call it honest music, because it’s all about our emotion and what we want to feel about that music.” The give and take is especially satisfying for Myrick. “It’s so rewarding to have a duo partner who is equally enthralled by interplay, dynamics, and the evolution of the conversation,” he said. Wanderlust’s sole new song, “992 Hopkinton Road,” is Myrick’s favorite. Cipriani shared the work in progress before a show last November. “We started working on that a tiny tiny bit, and we brought that into the studio,” he said. “In my opinion, in the studio it came to life. I love that version of the BRAD MYRICK song.” A video of the recording was released in early April, and the animated energy of exchange is palpable. Cipriani said that when he came up with the song, he imagined how Myrick would complete it, and the latter’s blazing acoustic steel string fills perfectly express his vision. “I think about Brad playing my songs,” he said, “and I know to [create] something that has the kind of space for him to play in his style.” Myrick said the time leading up to the Warner show will be filled with much-anticipated collaboration. “I can’t wait to compose with Nicola,” he

A lot of the tunes both of us have written were inspired by our experienes on the road.

said. “We know each other’s styles, and we communicate so well through the music that it’s really going to be fun to actually compose together. I’m really looking forward to that.” That said, the two are constantly reinventing their music when playing live. “If I was going to say one thing about Nicola it’s that when we get on stage he knows the songs, the melodies and the structure, but it’s completely up for improvisation interplay,” Myrick said. “So we’re constantly changing and evolving when we’re on stage — that’s what makes it exciting.” Cipriani agreed. “Our music is always changing,” he said. “We developed where the places were in the songs that allowed for that breadth and that communication,” Myrick said. “You play the head of a tune but maybe after that Nicola says something different with his guitar; I respond to that and it just goes off into a different place. We know each other well enough to know when to go into and come out of it.” Nicola Cipriani & Brad Myrick – Wanderlust release show When: Sunday, April 28, 6:30 p.m. Where: Warner Town Hall, 5 E.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Entrepreneurial spirit

Scientists are aghast at an eBay listing offering a rare baby T-rex fossil for a $2.95 million buy-it-now price. Fossil hunter Alan Detrich, who discovered the fossil in 2013, is believed to have created the listing in February for the 68 millionyear-old artifact, which until recently had been on loan to the Natural History Museum at the University of Kansas. CNBC reported the specimen has a 15-foot-long body, 21-inch skull and serrated teeth, and Detrich estimates its age at death to be about 4 years. The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology issued a statement expressing concerns that “the fossil, which represents a unique part of life’s past, may be lost from the public trust. ... Only casts and other replicas of vertebrate fossils should be traded, not the fossils themselves.”

Another day at Walmart

• At around 8:30 p.m. on April 10, things got interesting at an Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Walmart store. Lisa Smith, 46, entered the store with her unleashed dog, Bo, according to police, and as Bo distracted shoppers and store staff, Smith pulled apart store displays, putting them in her cart. After being asked by workers to leave the store, Smith went out to the parking lot and started practicing karate moves. Bo grabbed a box of Jiffy Cornbread Muffin Mix and also attempted to leave the store. Meanwhile, Smith’s son, Benny Vann, 25, had made his way to the back of the store, where he completely undressed and grabbed new clothes from store racks before attempting to run over police officers with his scooter. WHO TV reported Smith was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and misdemeanor bail jumping. Vann racked up charges of lewd and lascivious behavior, disorderly conduct and retail theft. Bo, police said, received only a warning for his theft of the muffin mix. • Crossville, Tennessee, police officers pulled over Sally Selby, 45, at 5 a.m. on April 5 as she motored down Highway 127 — in the slow lane — driving a Walmart mobility scooter. She was on her way to the Waffle House, she said, to buy a cup of coffee. WTVF reported that Selby initially told officers she had built the scooter, but Walmart confirmed it was one of theirs and had surveillance video of Selby driving the scooter out of the store to back up their story. She was arrested for theft.

The continuing crisis

On April 13, a family in Newtown, Connecticut, returned home from a morning shopping trip to find Joseph

Achenbach, 35, wandering around inside their home naked. The Watertown man had crashed his SUV in the homeowners’ backyard and moseyed inside through an unlocked glass door. Achenbach’s clothes could not be found at the scene, leading police to believe he had been naked when he crashed. FOX61 reported that he was charged with second-degree criminal trespassing and driving while intoxicated.
