If you have never had a family member or loved one who has suffered through a mental health crisis or emergency, this issue may not seem important to you.

Odds are, however, most readers have had either direct experience or a close connection to somebody who has had to not only struggle with the ups and downs of mental illness but also battle their way through the limited resources that New Hampshire has to offer. One example of these limited resources is the Secure Psychiatric Unit (SPU) at the New Hampshire State Prison for Men. Gov. Sununu demonstrated strong leadership in his proposed budget, moving New Hampshire forward in funding mental health priorities and recognizing all populations currently underserved, including those who are civilly committed and housed at the SPU. New Hampshire is one of a few states that houses patients who pose a danger to themselves or others at a state prison even though they’ve committed no crime. This practice has been in place for more than 30 years despite recommendations by two prior legislative studies to relocate the SPU to a new facility. It is disappointing that House leadership has justified its decision to remove the funding from its version of the budget by noting that it’s too soon and more planning is needed.

In the governor’s proposed budget, $40 million is allocated for two priorities. The first is a 60-unit forensic facility on the grounds of New Hampshire Hospital, a new secure psychiatric facility for those civilly committed and housed at the SPU. Second, the funds will be used for an additional 50 beds throughout the state for adults and children transitioning out of New Hampshire Hospital. Only with the funding of both components of this plan will those suffering from a mental health crisis begin to see a decline in wait times for beds. Some critics have argued that a separate forensic facility may not be necessary. By increasing the transitional beds for adults and children, space will be available at New Hampshire Hospital for those housed at the SPU. However, this reasoning is flawed. The residents of the SPU have very specific needs, and experts agree these patients should have a designated facility.

The budget battle over the SPU should not be a partisan issue but rather a bipartisan opportunity to work toward the implementation of the “New Hampshire 10-Year Mental Health Plan,” released by the Department of Health and Human Services in January. New Hampshire is in a unique position with surplus funds presently available to improve how these individuals are cared for. The time for action is now.

NEWS & NOTES

Death penalty repeal

Gov. Chris Sununu vetoed a bill to repeal New Hampshire’s death penalty for the second time on May 3, according to a press release issued by his office. Sununu vetoed the bill in Manchester while surrounded by police officers and the family of Officer Michael Briggs, who was killed in 2006. Michael Addison, who was convicted of killing Briggs, is the state’s only inmate currently on death row.

Sununu had previously vetoed a death penalty repeal bill last June.

Medical cannabis

On May 2, the Senate approved a bill to allow medical marijuana patients to grow their own cannabis at home, according to a press release. The bill would allow patients the possession of up to six plants and 12 seedlings, including three mature and three immature plants. If the bill becomes law, New Hampshire will be the first state to add home cultivation to a medical cannabis program that initially limited patients’ source of cannabis to dispensaries. The bill will now head back to the House, where it passed in a voice

vote on March 7, according to the release; if the House concurs with the Senate’s version, it will be sent to the governor’s desk, according to the release.

Charter school at MCC

A new technology charter school in Manchester is now accepting applications for New Hampshire high school students entering ninth grade in September, the Union Leader reported.

Spark Academy of Advanced Technologies is a new charter school to be located on the campus of Manchester Community College. Students will be educated in the sciences and humanities, with a curriculum personalized to an individual student’s needs. The academy was awarded its charter by the State Department of Education on April 11, according to the UL.

DCYF expansion

The House on May 2 passed a bill to expand the state’s Division for Children, Youth and Families by adding 77 new positions, the AP reported. Lawmakers had authorized dozens of new positions in the last two years, but DCYF has had trouble

STATE UNIVERSITY

The University System of New Hampshire is the most fiscally efficient public fouryear system in the Northeast, according to a press release, which references data from the U.S. Department of Education. The release said the USNH’s administrative cost per student is $2,826, lower than any other public school system in the Northeast, which includes Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, and 20 percent lower than that of the state’s private institutions.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The state received an overall grade of Cfrom a report prepared by the American Society of Civil Engineers, which cited that 29 percent of New Hampshire roads are in poor or very poor condition, the Telegraph of Nashua reported. Additionally, the report stated that more than 650 New Hampshire bridges are at least 75 years old (the intended life of a typical bridge is 50) and 60 percent of the state’s dams were built before 1960, meaning they don’t meet modern engineering standards.

attracting applicants due to its high turnover and heavy workloads. The bill, which passed the Senate in February, would cost nearly $8.6 million, with federal funds covering about 30 percent. In his budget proposal, Gov. Sununu had called for authorizing 62 new positions at DCYF, but the plan only funded 26 of them to start, according to the AP.

CONCORD

Patriots pride

Fans of the New England Patriots in the Granite State will now have the opportunity to show their pride on their vehicle, as the New England Patriots Foundation announced new decal stickers for New Hampshire license plates, according to a press release. Gov. Sununu had signed a bill last fall allowing the Patriots Foundation to officially create the stickers.

New Hampshire is the third New England state to offer the decals, after Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The stickers feature the foundation’s logo as well as the team’s six-time Super Bowl Champions logo.

Stickers are available only for New Hampshire residents, for purchase through the Patriots website.

Hooksett

Goffstown

A ceremony scheduled for May 10 at noon at Arms Park in Manchester will feature the unveiling of the Ralph Baer Bench Statue and Plaza, according to a press release.

The statue honors longtime Manchester resident Ralph Baer, who is widely recognized as the founder of the home video gaming industry and who first conceived the idea of playing games on a television screen in 1966.

MANCHESTER

A new state historical highway marker has been installed on Bedford Route 130 in Hollis, according to a press release. The marker commemorates the Amherst family of Capt. Peter Powers, who became the town’s first Milford settlers of English descent in 1730.

A new monument was unveiled at the New Hampshire DerryHolocaust Merrimack Memorial at the Rotary Common Park in Londonderry Nashua on May 2, the Union Leader reported.

The monument is part of a site titled “StoNASHUA len Childhood,” which memorializes the millions of children who died in the Holocaust.

A tribute to two sisters

Bedford man raising money for memorial amphitheater

125216

Four years ago, Marc Murai’s son Carter was in third grade at Riddle Brook School in Bedford. On March 28, 2015, Carter’s classmate and friend Katy Obukhov, 8, and her 6-year-old sister Lizzy were shot to death by their mother, Nina Obukhov, who then turned the gun on herself, investigators said, according to media reports.

Since then, Murai has been raising money to build the Lizzy and Katy Obukhov Memorial Amphitheater at Bedford Memorial Park. Anyone who is interested in volunteering or helping in any way can email him at marcmurai@gmail.com.

It’s worth the visit!

Can you talk about your ongoing project and why you decided on ... an amphitheater?

Both girls enjoyed dancing and performing. I know that they both took classes at Bedford Youth Performing Company. So for me, something like a little granite bench in a park somewhere just didn’t seem like an appropriate memorial for two beautiful young girls who loved to dance and loved the arts. The amphitheater is going to be the stage itself. We aren’t going to have seats, but a grassy area where people can sit. It would be erected at Bedford Memorial Park, near where the town pool is. [The goal is to] provide a place where children could perform for free or sports organizations could use it for ceremonies, things like that. There are so many events in the park. They used to have Old Town Day there, and movies in the park, and none of those things have been happening since [town officials] took down the old stage that was there and put a splash pad in. So I think it seemed serendipitous that there was no more stage for people to perform.

Why is this project so important to you?

My son Carter was a classmate and friend of Katy’s. They were in first and second grade together. When I learned about what had happened, obviously it’s upsetting when any child is taken like that, but there was something in me that felt like I had to do something to honor their lives. I have great memories of Carter’s birthday party in second grade. His entire class came, and just watching all the kids … felt like watching a huge family of brothers and sisters play. What was cool was that my son’s and Katy’s first-grade teacher loved the class so much that they kept the entire class together for second grade. I also had the privilege of being the class photographer for their yearbook both those years and so I was around the kids a lot and kind of developed a bond What are you into right now?

with them. With the permission of the family, we organized a candlelight vigil, and that was when I announced we were raising money to create some kind of Marc Murai. Courtesy photo. memorial. This was maybe two weeks after the tragedy had occurred.

How have town officials responded to your proposal?

I went in front of the town’s Parks & Recreation Commission last month. They were very receptive to it and they were [going to] look to find money. My proposal to them was asking them if they could match the amount I raise. I’m hoping that happens. There was no negative reaction to it. It seemed very positive. One of the things I actually didn’t take into account ... was that I would have to start a 501(c)(3) first. So we’re in the process of doing that.

We just got our fifth and final board member back in March, so I’m hoping within the next couple of months that we will have all of our paperwork submitted to the state for approval.

Has any money been raised so far?

We raised a little over $700 in donations at the vigil. Then we had another fundraiser and raised about $300 more. So we had about $1,000, which we used to have schematics drawn up from Vermont Timber Works of what the amphitheater would look like so I that I could have something to present to the town. My plan is to create a website and to show where the money is going.

Do you have a timeline for when you’d like to get started?

I’d like to at least have broken ground before the fifth anniversary next year. I still need to go before the Planning Board and to meet with the Planning Department.

I look forward to the day when I can watch children perform in this amphitheater. I have no doubt there will be tears.

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Talking art and politics

The Currier Museum of Art in Manchester is launching a new program called “Candidates and Culture,” which gives political candidates an opportunity to share their views on the role of art and culture in society.

The mission of the program is to elevate the discussion of the importance of arts and culture in political dialogue, according to a press release. The museum will also encourage more political candidates to visit by offering them special discounted rates to host their events at the venue.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The first “Candidates and Culture” event, held on April 6, featured Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, and drew a crowd of more than 500 attendees.

Manchester still the treatment hub

In the four months since the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services created Doorway NH, an addiction treatment program that placed nine centers around the state, efforts to divert people in need of services from Manchester to other areas of the state have not been as successful as officials had hoped, according to NHPR. From January through March, 541 people went to Manchester’s Safe Stations for help with addiction, which is a 30-percent increase over January through March of last year.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services plans to launch a publicity campaign for Doorway NH this month in the hopes that it will help guide people seeking addiction treatment services to Doorway NH locations rather than Manchester’s Safe Stations, according to NHPR.

Mental health awareness in the workplace

Employees of the City of Concord will participate in a series of quarterly presentations and workshops for employers on mental health in the workplace, through Riverbend Community Mental Health, according to the Concord Insider. The programs will involve anti-stigma activities, learning how to identify and understand behavioral health issues and talk about them openly, and recognizing mental health as part of overall wellness.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The National Institute of Mental Health reports that one in five American adults report having behavioral health challenges each year, the most prevalent being anxiety disorders. According to a 2017 national survey conducted by the American Psychological Association, the workplace is the third leading cause of stress, at 61 percent.

Bad news about ticks

According to the Concord Monitor, a citizen-science study based at BeBop Labs in Plymouth revealed two unsettling facts: there is a new tickborne disease in New Hampshire called anaplasmosis, and tick bites are dangerous all year. While tick encounters are less likely during the winter, they are still possible unless the ground is covered with snow, and the chance of the ticks transmitting a disease is just as high as it is during the warmer months. The study was performed on 822 ticks provided by volunteers. Between one-quarter and one-half of ticks carried pathogens that cause at least one disease, usually Lyme, and between 5 and 10 percent of the ticks carried a pathogen that can cause anaplasmosis, according to the Monitor article.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Kaitlyn Morse, founder of BeBop Labs, warns that one year of data is not indicative of a trend, and that a trend cannot be identified until there is at least three years of data.

Celtics trying to buck a trend The NBA playoffs are in full bloom with the Celtics coming off consecutive dud performances in Games 2 and 3 vs. Milwaukee. That this immediately followed a stellar effort in Game 1 made it all too similar to the lackluster way they wandered through their disappointing regular season.

The Bucks did a lot to create those conditions, but they were losses filled with bad shot selection and forced shots that led to bad shooting overall, ridiculous turnovers and inconsistent defense. As I write this Monday morning they’re just down 2-1 so there’s time to recover. But after taking away home court advantage in Game 1, let’s just say their giving it back via that Game 3 loss at the Garden wasn’t a real confidence-builder.

Unfortunately, two more games could be played between now and when this hits the streets, so it’s hard to bring all up to date on the series. In lieu of that, here’s a look leaguewide at the drama that’s unfolded to date.

At the top of the list was Portland–Denver Game 3, only the second four-overtimes game in league history. Nikola Jokic played 64 minutes and 58 seconds, including all but two seconds in the vast second half and only after being pulled for defensive purposes on the final play. The Glen McDonald in that one was Portland’s Rodney Hood, who came off the bench to score seven points in the last minute. The leading scorer was C.J. McCollum with 41. Amazingly only one guy fouled out, Denver’s Gary Harris after playing 50 minutes. Not sure what this says, but five guys fouled out in the famed Celtics-Phoenix triple-OT game in the 1976 playoffs.

As you probably know by now, the other four-OT classic was a 111-105 Celtics win over the Syracuse Nationals in 1953 when the great Bob Cousy scored 50 for the only time in his career.

NBA Playoffs 101: Who has the highest points per game average of those who’ve played in two or more Game 7’s in the NBA playoffs?

The NBA loves it stars. So much that it lets them get away with more illegal activity than the Trump White House. Back in the day Michael Jordan walked and palmed it on every possession with no call and trust me that was a major advantage. With him retired, that’s back to illegal.

For Giannis Antetokounmpo it’s a forearm to the chest/face of defenders as he goes to the rack. I’m not really outraged yet, because he’s just fighting hard to get to the hoop, not delivering cheap shots like Joel Embiid does. However, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be called.

Having said that, you’ve got to wonder what in the name of Greg Kite the Celtics brass was thinking when it passed on the Greek Freak to take Kelly Olynyk instead.

Hard to believe now.

James Harden pushes off almost as much as the Freak and dives/throws his legs under defenders to get fouls called on three-ball shots. Acting to get sissy calls is very annoying to defenders especially when he gets the benefit of the doubt on every call. So boohoo to Houston’s whining over the Warriors being physical with him. Suck it up, pal, and while you’re at it get a shave.

Incidentally, almost as big a mistake as missing on the Freak was Jokic in 2014.

He’s turned out to be the second-best player, behind Embiid, in a vaunted draft class that supposedly had six future superstars. The big man-needy Celtics passed on him twice for Marcus Smart at 6 and (gulp) James Young at 16.

I’d take Damian Lillard over Kyrie. Not quite as dynamic, but a better defender, far fewer dumb passes and bad shots. I’m not picking on Kyrie, but I’ve been saying all year he’s not as big a difference-maker as most think. He’s a good player who makes spectacular plays three times a game to make people think he’s better than he actually is.

Name anyone who mentally fades in and out from game to game more than Jayson Tatum. I’m OK with him going in any Anthony Davis trade. The mission should be to keep Jaylen Brown out of that trade.

Embiid incidentally has moved into my Top 5 NBA players. Injury issues aside, I might even take him over A.D., because he’s meaner, which makes him more intimidating.

Since the day job is sports gambling this fits. After 21 straight wins while earning $1.6 million, I’m wondering when Jeopardy! champ James Holzhauer will get the Herb Stempel treatment.

NBA Playoffs 101 Answer: At 34.3 per in eight games, LeBron James is the highest Game 7 points-per-game scorer. Kevin Durant and Michael Jordan are next at 33.7 and 33.3 respectively in three each.

I’m hoping Durant goes to the Knicks, which the NYC media says is a lock. First, it’d make the East more interesting. Second, it weakens the Warriors. Third, so let’s see how the more surly by the day K.D. likes the tougher scrutiny he’ll get there if it works out as well for him as it has for LeBron in L.A. I felt old when 1984 Celtics playoffs savior Gerald Henderson retired. So how is hearing son Gerald Jr. is retiring supposed to make me feel?

To any foreign power looking for a torcher for me to give up the nuclear launch codes.

Put on Chris Webber doing games on TNT. Him puffing up 6’10” players after simple dunks, redundantly saying what happened on replays instead of why it did and endlessly stating the obvious any third-grader would know is nails on the chalkboard to me.

Given his incredible endurance I thought the inexhaustible John Havlicek would live until 100. But with his passing last week, that sadly wasn’t the case. To those who never saw him: He was team first, smart, tough and clutch! Only Russell and Bird (barely) were greater Celtics.

Rest in peace, Hondo.

K C U R T E H T M O R F Why mobile eats are everywhere

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

On a breezy morning in April, Dana Prive and Jude Little of The Forking Awesome Food Truck are set up for lunch in a parking lot on the corner of Springfield and Daniel Plummer roads in Prive’s hometown of Goffstown.

Their season just began a few weeks earlier, and while this will be their primary location every Tuesday through Friday from now through the fall, you’ll also be able to find the Tex-Mex-themed truck at farmers markets, breweries and food

truck festivals all across the state.

But that’s not including any private events they may cater for. In fact, Prive said, the truck is booked every weekend from now through the end of October with just festivals alone.

Mobile cook units, including food trucks, food trailers and concession vendors, are on the rise in New Hampshire. According to Colleen Smith of the state’s Department of Health and Human Services, there are currently 174 licensed mobile units, compared to 107 in April 2016. And that doesn’t count food trucks that operate only as tem-

porary food establishments at events like multi-day fairs, or occasional food establishments that operate four days or less in a 30-day period, she said.

Kenny Spilman of B’s Tacos, a Londonderry-based food truck launched in 2013, said the public perception of the concept has changed too.

“People are starting to ... realize that there are people out there that are actual experienced and very knowledgeable cooks, offering a total different type of menu than what you would expect off of a food truck,” Spilman said.

It’s not strictly competition among the

trucks, either. Since holding the grand opening for his truck three years ago, Prive has received inquiries from other local potential food truck owners for business advice, and he’s worked with the Town of Goffstown to establish a new hawkers and peddlers ordinance with clear instructions for food trucks to obtain a license.

“It’s a growing culture,” he said. “I had a catering company at first called Good Thymes BBQ, and it was a friend of mine, actually, that told me about the [popularity of] food trucks out west. … He said to me, ‘You’ve really got to

get into it, because down there it’s really starting to explode and it’s going to make its way up here.’”

Diversity in flavors Food truckers in New Hampshire come from a variety of backgrounds — there are seasoned chefs, former catering company owners, and even a few, like Spilman, who had no prior experience in the food industry prior to owning one.

Spilman, who was in the lumber business for 35 years, was originally going to use the trailer he purchased in 2013 as a side business. But after he lost his job, he went all in; now he has a second truck, which he bought last year.

The trailer serves lunch during the week at the BP Gas Station on Mohawk Road in Londonderry, while the truck goes out to events.

“My father is from El Paso, Texas, and so I grew up eating tacos, burritos and other Mexican foods, and my kids have always loved it,” Spilman said. “Tacos, burritos and rice bowls are pretty much the basis. I call it more American-Mexican street food.”

Spilman even grows produce like peppers, tomatoes and lettuce in a garden on his own property, which he uses in many of the recipes.

For Kerry Fay of the Curb Appeal Meals food truck, based in Hampton, having the ability to change up her menu depending on who her audience will be is one of the things she enjoys most. She’s known for a few staples, like sliced avocados that are breaded, deep-fried and served with a homemade chipotle aioli, but you might also find items like Asian steamed buns, cheeseburger or Buffalo chicken egg rolls, beer-battered cod, Thai peanut chicken wraps and more.

“It’s a lot of fun, because I change the menu so that it’s not so repetitive all the time,” Fay said. “I had worked in restaurants for a while and I did some catering, and restaurant work can be very assembly line-like, but this is a lot different, because of the different kinds of events we do all the time.”

The Somerset Grille, a food truck based in Hooksett, will often do unique specials that vary depending on the event, too. According to owner Eric Somerset, while the truck’s typical menu features simple American comfort food items like cheeseburgers, hot dogs and french fries, other recent creations they have done include “Irish tacos” (corned beef, fresh cabbage slaw, shredded Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing in a soft corn tortilla) and Somerset’s take on a “chicken pot pie” (a homemade chicken stew served in a soup cup with a biscuit on top).

“Every time we go to a food truck festival, especially, we think about some-

thing different or off the wall that we can put on as a special,” Somerset said.

A new food truck coming soon to the New Boston area, Tastinggreat will feature a menu of comfort items like hot and cold wraps, sides and a few signature sauces, according to owner Roberta Bonney.

“I call it ‘Tastinggreat,’ all one word, because I believe you can have good taste in the food, but also in manners and presentation, and just being able to produce something that people would be satisfied with,” she said.

Licenses and permits From state licenses to self-inspecting towns and vendors fees, food trucks in New Hampshire have quite a bit of boxes that need checking off in order to serve you. That’s why you may see one food truck parked at a certain stationary location all the time, or a rotating schedule of the same food trucks at a brewery or at a festival.

“We started researching different things, as far as the laws about where you can go and all that, and we found that there was a lot of gray area,” Prive said. “We had thought, originally, that you’d be able to pull up along the side of the sidewalk, open your doors and start selling. But it doesn’t work that way.”

Food trucks must apply for and obtain a mobile food unit license from the state’s Department of Health and Human Services. But there are also 15 self-inspecting cities and towns: Bedford, Berlin, Claremont, Concord, Derry, Dover, Exeter, Keene, Manchester, Merrimack, Nashua, Plaistow, Portsmouth, Rochester and Salem. This means that for a truck to operate in any one of these cities and towns, a separate hawkers and peddlers license in addition to the state’s requirements must be in hand.

Most cities and towns in New Hampshire also require the trucks to be parked on private property. That’s why Prive is in the parking lot off Daniel Plummer Road — a friend owns it, he said.

But because Goffstown is not one of the 15 self-inspecting communities in the state, Prive last year worked with planning board members and other town officials to craft a hawkers and peddlers ordinance for him and others to do business in Goffstown. The ordinance was officially adopted by the Goffstown Board of Selectmen in May 2018.

“We spent the winter before last, sitting in on three or four meetings, and just trying to work with them to outline the proper wording for everything,” Prive said.

Because trucks are traveling from town to town, often with multiple towns inspecting them over the course of the FRESH FROM THE TRUCK CONTINUED ON 12

season, Prive said the cleanliness of food trucks can be scrutinized even more than that of restaurants.

“We are a full kitchen on this truck that is licensed and inspected just like every other restaurant out there, and in some cases, more stringently,” he said.

Spilman said he can get his truck and trailer inspected at least 10 to 12 times in a season.

“The state and the towns are very diligent about making sure that you meet fire codes, temperature settings and things like that,” he said.

Festival frenzy You might see a food truck parked at your local Old Home Days event or outside the front doors of your favorite brewery, but food truck festivals can often feature a dozen or more trucks together in one location. Most are free or have a small admittance cost, but the festivals allow you to sample different food options, priced per item from each truck.

“The industry is just booming in New Hampshire now. This year is the big-

gest year I’ve ever seen for specific food truck festivals,” Somerset said. “There is almost at least one every weekend from now through August and September.”

Food Trucks for CASA, for example, will return for its third year in Manchester, from May 31 through June 2. The first two years, the festival took place at McIntyre Ski Area, but this year, it will be held on the grounds of Southern New Hampshire University to accommodate more trucks and access to more parking for attendees, organizer Loren Foxx said. Foxx said he expects this to be the biggest one thus far.

“People are so excited about this.

It’s like their own little version of Woodstock,” Foxx said. “[Food truck festivals] just give you the opportunity to try a bunch of different types of food and, if you go with a bunch of your friends, you can sample and swap foods with each other. … I also really enjoy walking up to the trucks and asking them what I should have.”

trailer, Chef Koz’s Crescent City Kitchen. Kozlowski has nearly three decades of cooking experience, including as the chef and owner of the former Crescent City Bistro & Rum Bar, and the Orchard Street Chop Shop, both in Dover.

Named after the city of New Orleans — known as “The Crescent City” — Chef Koz’s Crescent City Kitchen features a menu of made-from-scratch cajun, creole and Caribbean-inspired items.

“We prepped heavy but we didn’t know what we were expecting, and we got killed,” Kozlowski said of his first food truck festival experience. “I couldn’t believe that, on a Saturday, we were in that trailer basically for nine hours straight.”

Since then, Kozlowski has immersed himself in the New England food truck world, and now even helps out in the planning stages of several food truck festivals throughout the year, including two in Rochester, in May and in August. His trailer is booked for at least one day nearly every weekend at some type of event now through the middle of October. He also launched a second food trailer last winter that he calls The Haute Box, which features New England regional comfort foods, and recently became the first food truck-based business to apply for and receive an off-site catering license from the state Liquor Commission. For the summer months, he’s renaming it KozBar, since it will only feature drinks.

A mobile camaraderie Whether they’re at festivals or doing private catering events, most food truck owners don’t look at each other as competitors — in fact, they are often supportive of one another.

“If I’m at a festival and somebody asks for something and we don’t have it, HIPPO | MAY 9 - 15, 2019 | PAGE 14

I’ll say, oh no, but you can get that item at this truck over here, and I’ll tell them which truck it’s at,” Fay said. “I think the common feeling is that we all want each other to be busy and to have a good day. There’s enough business out there for all of us, I think.”

Prive said he has worked with other more recent mobile businesses, like the Prime Time Grilled Cheese Food Truck, and the Smoothie Bus, both out of Manchester, and helped them along the way.

“They’ve had lots of questions, and we share what we learn with them and vice-versa,” he said, “because there’s just so much information out there that it’s hard to stay on top of it sometimes.”

There’s even a private Facebook group page out there, for food truck owners only. Kozlowski created the group shortly after he launched his trailer, and today he said it has more than 140 followers who are all New England food truck owners, in addition to a few just over the Vermont and New York State border.

“I was chairman of the board of the New Hampshire Lodging & Restaurant Association in 2010 in Concord,” Kozlowski said, “and it was a good network for communicating through that group for restaurants to talk about certain issues. … There were national Facebook pages for food trucks, but I realized that there wasn’t anything more local.”

Fay said truck owners who are members can use the group page to inquire about issues they may have with their truck, ask questions about festivals, and even share inquiries they’ve received from event organizers or private parties if they can’t take it themselves. Kozlowski is the administrator of the page.

“I don’t represent trucks,” Kozlowski said. “I’m just doing my part to help elevate the food truck industry up in New England.”

The Nashua International Sculpture Symposium returns

Last year’s Nashua International Sculpture Symposium. Courtesy photos.

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Watch as three new public art pieces are created for Nashua during the Nashua International Sculpture Symposium, when sculptors from around the world will spend three weeks in the city working on sculptures that will be permanently placed around the city.

The annual event started in 2008 and was inspired by the Andres Institute of Art International Sculpture Symposium, a similar event held in Brookline every fall.

It is the only international sculpture symposium in the U.S. that is held in a city, with the sculptures being placed on public property.

“The arts and culture are huge in the city of Nashua,” said Gail Moriarty, symposium president and managing partner of The Picker Artists collaborative, which is hosting the event. “[The symposium] brings another level of artistic creativity into our city.”

An opening reception for the symposium will be held on Thursday, May 9, at the Hunt Community, at which attendees can learn more about the symposium, meet the artists

and enjoy food and drinks. The sculptors will work May 10 through May 30, Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., outside The Picker Artists studios at 3 Pine St. This is the first year that The Picker Artists are hosting the event.

“It’s going to be a great marriage between The Picker Artists and the sculptors,” Moriarty said. “We’ve been involved [with the symposium] for the last 12 years and are all artists in our own right. Having them here at our location, it will be easier for us to make sure they have everything they need.”

The public is invited to visit the work site and watch the sculptors create their pieces and interact with the sculptors during their breaks.

“Seeing the progression — how [the sculptors] start out with a big, ugly piece of stone, and then it starts to get some shape to it, and then some detail — is something we don’t usually get to see,” symposium treasurer Darold Rorabacher said.

This year’s sculptors are Jon Hudson of Ohio, U.S., Joycelyn Pratt of New Zealand and Gerard Oroo Motondi of Kenya. Past symposiums have featured sculptors from Argentina, Scotland, Costa Rica, Vietnam, Greece, India, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Zimba-

bwe and other countries. The sculptors are chosen by artistic director John Weidman, who is also a sculptor and the co-founder and director of the Andres Institute of Art. Weidman helps the sculptors plan their pieces and create maquettes, or small models, before starting work on the full-sized pieces. The sculptors have creative freedom for their sculptures, as long as the designs are “in good taste,” Rorabacher said. The designs can be abstract or literal. Past sculptures have depicted a Latino bus, a family, a mother and child, a horse, a turtle and more.

Prior to starting work, the sculptors will choose where in the city they want their sculptures to be placed. Since the sculptures will be outside permanently, they must be weather-resistant, so the sculptors are limited to stone and weathering steel.

“The interesting part about working in stone is, if you do something not right, you can’t put the stone back,” Moriarty said. “It [requires] an entirely different creative process that’s really interesting to watch.”

Volunteers from the community host the sculptors at their homes and provide the sculptors with transportation and meals.

The event is largely funded through donations and sponsorships; sponsors will have

their names displayed on a plaque placed with the sculpture.

“You’re helping to pay for supplies, tools, whatever the sculptors need; you’re paying for them to be able to come do this for us,” Moriarty said. “You’re helping to support the arts in the city.”

The closing ceremony for the symposium will be held on Saturday, June 1, when trolleys will take people from City Hall to see the sculptures unveiled at their permanent sites. A map of the 33 existing sculpture sites is available on the event website.

Nashua International Sculpture Symposium Opening reception: Thursday, May 9, 6 to 8 p.m., at the Hunt Community (10 Allds St., Nashua). Tickets cost $15 for adults, free for children age 12 and under.

Visit the sculptors: May 10 through May 30, Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., at The Picker Artists studios (3 Pine St., Nashua) Closing ceremony: Saturday, June 1, 1 p.m., at Nashua City Hall (229 Main St., Nashua) More info: nashuasculpturesymposium.org

INSIDE/OUTSIDE Medieval merriment

NH Renaissance Faire returns to Fremont

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Let yourself be transported to another time during the New Hampshire Renaissance Faire, returning to Brookvale Pines Farm in Fremont on Saturday, May 11, and Sunday, May 12, and again on Saturday, May 18, and Sunday, May 19. Made to resemble a medieval village, the fair will feature period music and theatrical performances, merchants and craftsmen at work, jousting demonstrations and more.

“There’s something for everyone, things like knights in shining armor and weird creatures and performances — things you can’t see anywhere else,” said Marghi Bean, one of the fair organizers.

As always, the fair will be entirely family-friendly with games, crafts and fun activities for kids in the Children’s Glen; a family tent with changing tables where families with young children can take a break from the excitement; and performances and comedic elements that are appropriate for a younger audience.

“When you think about the kind of Shakespearean humor of the Middle Ages, it’s very bawdy and raucous, and it’s funny for adults, but not appropriate for children,” Bean said.

“Our fair is family-friendly. It’s very true to the period, but parents can bring their kids without having to cover their ears, and you don’t find that at a lot of [Renaissance] fairs.”

New this year, there will be wandering actors acting as medieval villagers who will interact with visitors, answer questions and share knowledge about the Middle Ages.

“It’s a great addition to the fair,” Bean said.

“It makes it seem like a real medieval village instead of just a fairgrounds.”

Other actors and performers will include the Brotherhood of the Arrow & Sword, a reenactment group demonstrating fully armored live steel combat; The Longshanks, storytellers on stilts; Shimmynanigans, a group of belly dancers; The Corr Thieves comedic group; magicians Mike OJ and Morrigan the Raven; pirate actors Captain Jay and The Northeast Buccaneers; Shelli Buttons, an acrobatics and aerial performer, and more. There will also be numerous musicians performing traditional Celtic tunes, lute and harp music, a cappella songs and sea shanties.

“We have very good music,” Bean said. “It’s

cool how everyone gathers ’round to listen. It really adds to the whole atmosphere and the idea of it being a medieval village.”

More than 70 merchants will be selling handmade goods, including clothes and accessories, jewelry, artwork, sculptures, leatherwork, woven items, glassware, soaps and salves, crystals and precious stones, chainmail items and more. Some will be demonstrating their crafts, including weaving, leatherworking and jewelry making.

Additionally, there will be several fantasy authors selling and signing their books; service vendors offering tarot readings, fortune telling, henna, massages, photo ops and more; and food vendors selling ice cream, barbecue, pizza and gourmet sweets and snacks.

One of the biggest draws, Bean said, is the jousting demonstration.

“It’s something you read about in books: the knight in shining armor on the horse, jousting to save the princess. It’s all very romantic,” she said, “but it’s not something you get to see except at Renaissance fairs, and people want to see how it works and what it looks like.”

Other attractions will include an archery range, knight encampment demonstrations, an auction, belly dancing lessons and exotic animals.

Also new this year, each day of the fair will have a theme for attendees who want to dress up: May 11 is Game of Thrones, May 12 is fairs and wizards, May 18 is pirates and barbarians and May 19 is steampunk and time travelers.

Bean said the fair is not only fun but also educational.

“We try to push the whole educational part of it and pull in a lot of [fair participants] who are willing [to teach their craft],” she said. “When you get to learn from a knight about medieval warfare or from a musician about medieval instruments, those things stick … and really enlarge your idea of what history was like.”

Dear Tami, It’s so tough to tell with iron pieces. Your birds look too thick to be target shooting birds.

They look too heavy to be carnival birds, but as I said it’s so tough to tell.

Cast iron has always been hard to figure out in terms of value. In items such as banks we look for color and clean seam lines to help. You won’t usually see banks that are rusty because they were always inside, so if you see one rusted it could be a sign that it is a reproduction.

Now, with items like the birds, they are decorative and could have been used inside or outside.

Taking an old form and casting new ones is so easily done today, so it would depend on where you got them and if there were more, but I might want to assume they are newer. But there is a catch to every story as well. Sometimes you can see a release or a find of new old

stock. The items get out in the market and so you can find many of them for a period of time.

I think the most important factor is that if you like them, you can enjoy them old or new.

As long as they were not represented to you as antiques and you didn’t pay a lot of money for them, they are a sweet form of cast iron.

If you’ve visited any great gardens, you know that they consist of more than just flowers. They have fine trees and shrubs, pathways, perhaps stonework or pottery, maybe a bit of whimsy, or walls and great views. Now, before your trees are fully leafed out and the perennials have begun to distract you with their blossoms, this is a good time to think creatively about what you can do to make your garden spaces better.

I recently visited the Inn on Putney Road, a B&B in Brattleboro, Vermont. This is a majestic old white brick building with lots of formal gardens. I went to see it because I had seen the outdoor pottery of Steve Procter at the Vermont Flower Show, and he maintains a wide selection of his pottery on display in the garden at the Inn. Steve Procter makes pots that are high-fired and impervious to the elements. Unlike flower pots, his pots are fully vitrified, and will not absorb moisture. Most are not designed for use as flower pots, but for their amazing looks. The come with lids and a drainage hole.

In the summer, they may be displayed without the lid, and rain will not collect inside. In the winter lids are recommended to avoid any ice building up.

These pots would make my garden look even better than it does. But a 5-foot-tall pot takes Steve about three weeks to make and a full day at 2,300 degrees to bake, and days to cool it slowly. These are not inexpensive, obviously, and not in my budget just now.

Steve told me that although people are used to placing 2D art work on the walls of their homes, 3D art is less common and not everyone is comfortable placing big pots in the garden. He generally delivers the pots and helps to find a perfect spot for each. The pots are placed on a square of bluestone or concrete to keep them steady.

Whether you are placing a pot, a sculpture or perhaps a tall standing stone, 3D art can provide a visual destination, something that draws a visitor down a path. And if you partially conceal the pot or art with a shrub or tree, Steve pointed out that it can create a sense of mystery. Or provide a surprise when you turn a corner.

Large flower pots filled with plants add much to a garden, too. I have a fig tree and a Frangipani (the tree that provides flowers for Hawaiian leis) in ordinary big pots but have to bring them in each winter. That can be a struggle. But they can add a lot to my landscape.

What else can one do to provide 3D interest? A simple ceramic bird bath adorns my garden each summer. Since the birds showed no interest in taking baths in it (I also have a stream nearby), I use it as a pedestal for a plant

in a pot, or even as a shallow pot. Last summer I grew papyrus in it. Papyrus grows in standing water, which is good as a bird bath collects water and would drown many plants in a rainy time.

Standing stones are also wonderful. A significant part of the stone must be buried in order to achieve stability. I think the perfect stone is long and relatively narrow with a base that is wider than the exposed portion when installed. I prefer stones that are 4 to 6 feet from end to end and just a foot to 18 inches wide.

To make a standing stone stable, I dig a hole 18 to 24 inches deep and 2 to 3 feet wide.

Once I have the stone standing in the hole and vertical, I place stones around it in the hole. I choose stones the size of a loaf of bread or bigger to hold the stone in place. Then I pour into the hole a bag of ready-mix concrete, dry. The concrete will harden up and cure nicely over time. I finish filling the hole with topsoil.

When I install standing stones in public places I make each even more stable by digging a mushroom-shaped hole. I dig the hole, then dig out laterally at the bottom to create a pocket under the un-excavated sides of the hole. This space gets filled with concrete mix, making a nice anchor. I use a hand tool called a CobraHead weeder to pull the soil out of the pocket area.

What else can you use to spiffy up your garden? Benches are nice. Wooden benches are probably the most comfy. Stone benches look great, but are cold and hard to sit on for more than a few minutes. But any bench will draw the eye, and encourage visitors to approach the bench.

I have a marble bench next to my brook where there is a nice planting of umbrella plant. I placed some of my late sister Ruth Anne’s ashes under the umbrella plant at planting time, and it has been a nice quiet place to sit and remember her, particularly when it blooms in the spring with tall pink flowers.

So look for some 3D objects to enhance your garden, whether pots or standing stones or even an old fashioned gazing ball. And remember: You don’t have to prune or weed them!

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

What to do when your rear end is gone

By Ray Magliozzi

mean? — Ava

Dear Car Talk: I have a 2006 Buick Rendezvous. My rear end is completely gone, so I’ve been told. I am a 65-yearold, single woman.

I don’t have a lot of money. What does that

Not to worry, Ava. My wife tells me my rear end is completely gone, too. But she’s still sticking with me.

The “rear end” is your mechanic’s shorthand for the differential. The differential is essentially a complex box of gears that allows the wheels to turn at different speeds when you take turns.

Without it, you’d be dragging your outside wheel along the pavement whenever you turn.

Typically, when the gears wear out — or the bearings fail — the differential will start to howl. You’ll hear something that sounds like a deep whistling sound that goes up and down in pitch as you go faster and slower.

Sometimes it’ll go away when you step on the gas. Sometimes it’ll go away when you take your foot off the gas. The only

symptom that’s absolutely consistent is that, over time, it’ll drive you cuckoo.

My late brother had a bad differential in his Chevy Suburban, and until he figured it out, he was convinced the cops were following him around everywhere.

And that they knew about the plastic coffee urn he stole from his local International House of Pancakes in 1967.

If you’re short on funds and want to keep this car for a while, your best bet is a used differential. Differentials will often last the life of the car. If you found a Rendezvous in a junkyard, chances are its rear differential would be fine.

Now, we don’t want you climbing around piles of wrecked cars in a junkyard, Ava. Certainly not with your worn-out rear end. You need to find a mechanic who’s willing to work with you and help you out.

Your mechanic probably has a junkyard or two he works with. He can call them and track down the right part for you.

Then he can install it.

It’s not cheap. It’ll probably cost you between $500-$1,000 including labor, depending on how much the part costs.

But you can’t continue to drive with a bad differential forever. There’s a chance that it’ll seize up on you, and that can be dan-

126282

HIPPO | MAY 9 - 15, 2019 | PAGE 26

gerous, especially if it happens at higher speed.

So, if the alternative is to get rid of this car, spending 500 or 1,000 bucks probably makes sense, assuming the Rendezvous is otherwise in good shape. Get a mechanic to work with you, and good luck with your new rear end, Ava. Dear Car Talk: I went to Toyota to buy a trickle charger for my battery. They told me the charger they will install in my 2014 RAV4 will remain connected all the time — year-round. Does this sound right?

— Elizabeth

It sounds great.

As you probably know, a trickle charger (sometimes called a battery tender) is a device that you plug into the wall and attach to your car’s battery. It keeps your battery topped up and ready to go.

You plug it in when the car is parked, and it provides a slow trickle of electricity to always keep your battery fully charged.

It’s particularly useful if you have a car that gets parked for long periods of time. So, while you’re at the International Slanket Convention for three weeks, the

charger automatically senses a drop in the battery’s voltage and turns itself on and off as needed, keeping the battery ready to go when you get home.

Normally, when you buy a trickle charger at an auto parts store, you open the hood, you attach the clamps on one end of the charger to your battery terminals, and then you plug the other end into a wall socket. When you go to drive the car, you remove the clamps, close the hood and drive away.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

It sounds like Toyota has a trickle charger that gets installed under your hood and is permanently wired to your battery.

There’s probably what we call a “pigtail,” which is like a short electrical cord that sticks out of the grill or under the front bumper.

So, when you’re heading off to the Association of Ginsu Knife Throwers meetings in Ketchikan, you just attach your household extension cord to that pigtail, and bingo, you’re all set. You never need to open the hood or fumble with any battery clamps.

It sounds very convenient to me, Elizabeth. I’d go for it.

FOOD Universal tastes

Local chef introduces pop culture-inspired dinners throughout the summer

By Matt Ingersoll

News from the local food scene

mingersoll@hippopress.com

By Matt Ingersoll

You can go from feasting in the Game of Thrones universe one night to eating a hobbit-inspired meal straight out of The Lord of the Rings on another, or even take part in a reimagined “chewing gum dinner” from the world of Willy Wonka, with a chance to win a golden ticket. These special dinners are just a few of the upcoming installments of Eterna, a new pop-up series held nearly every Friday at Dancing Lion Chocolate in Manchester through mid-July.

Each week, the small gourmet chocolate shop gets transformed into a unique aesthetic environment, decked out with posters and artwork and accompanied by locally sourced dishes. Local chef Angelina Jacobs, formerly of the now-closed Cabonnay restaurant on Bridge Street, designs the menu for each dinner. She said she originally introduced just eight dates, beginning in late March, but recently expanded the series to go through part of the summer.

The next dinner is Friday, May 10, and will feature Vietnamese options like beef pho. Then from May 24 through July 19 (except for June 21), there will be one every Friday, from 5:30 p.m. to 1 a.m., or whenever she sells out.

It’s not just nods to pop culture that make these dinners unique — Jacobs is also working to perfect the recipes of these dishes through extensive trials and research. One of her recent pop-ups, for example, took diners on a trip to South Africa, with dishes like boerewors (pork sausage) and pap (maize porridge), while another featured an authentic Thai green curry.

“I’ve been cooking for over 10 years all throughout New England, and I sort of just get sick of doing the same thing,” Jacobs said. “So I was hoping to provide some fun things while also utilize my creative talent and just explore different areas and cultures.”

After Cabonnay closed in December, Jacobs said, she approached Dancing Lion Chocolate owner Richard Tango-Lowy about the idea of doing a series of pop-up dinners.

“I’ve known Richard for a couple of years, and he’s very graciously allowed me to rent the space from him,” she said. “He loved the idea, so we’ve been working together to create what works in this space.”

Upcoming dinners include a Game of

They’ve created a rotating menu of farm-fresh ingredients with a particular focus on items in their growing seasons. Greenleaf seats about 70, including six in a private area in the fully restored vault from the original bank, as well as 12 at the bar and six at a chef’s table, offering an up-close and personal experience with the chefs in an open kitchen. In addition to large and small plates, Greenleaf features a drink menu of cocktails, wines, beers and even a few non-alcoholic cocktails made with fresh juices pressed daily.

Visit greenleafmilford.com or follow them on Facebook and Instagram @greenleafmilford for details on the most up-to-date menu items.

Thrones-inspired meal on May 24, featuring Jacobs’ takes on “Sansa’s favorite” lemon cake, “Dornish” roast lamb leg with stuffed grape leaves, “Hot Pie’s” hand-rolled berry tarts, and “Joffrey’s poison” cranberry-peach draught. Even costumes or apparel is encouraged, she said.

“I’ve read all of the books and watched all of the episodes, and with the whole series coming to an end right around that time, I thought that it would be fun,” Jacobs said.

The series will continue with “Night at Nana’s” on May 31, featuring either Jacobs’ nana’s handmade meatballs with tomato sauce or caponata and asparagus served over housemade pasta; and a miso chashu pork ramen night on June 7, inspired by the popular anime series Naruto.

On June 14, visitors will be treated to a three-course “chewing gum dinner” out of the Willy Wonka universe, featuring tomato soup, roast beef with baked potatoes and blueberry pie with ice cream.

“We’re going to create Willy Wonka bars and raffle them off for a chance to win a huge golden chocolate egg,” she said.

Jacobs will take the week of June 21 off to attend the Fine Chocolate Industry Association’s “Elevate Chocolate” event in New York before returning on June 28 with a maki sushi night, followed by a backyard barbecue night on July 5, which will feature North Carolina-style vinegar barbecue ribs and brisket, or a vegetarian barbecue sweet potato burger.

The “Journey to Middle Earth” dinner on July 12 will transport you to the world of hobbits from The Lord of the Rings, with spiced braised beef, braised mushrooms and squash, potato and onion soup, tea and strawberry lemon cream cake. The final dinner currently planned, on July 19, features

“a fairy tale evening with Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs,” with items like wiener schnitzel, potato dumplings, braised red cabbage, and an optional “poison apple” (pulled sugar filled with apple chutney, honey cream and lemon shortbread).

You can make reservations at any of these dinners, though they are not required. Jacobs said about 16 people are seated per hour or half-hour, depending on the type of food being served. Walk-ins have also typically become more available after about 10 p.m. each night so far.

While there may be more dinners to come beyond the confirmed dates, Jacobs said her long-term goals are to eventually open her own bakery first and then her own restaurant.

The name “Eterna” is derived from her eternal love of food and cooking, she said.

“It’s really fun for me to do a lot of research and speak with people and hear their feedback,” she said. “I really enjoy the different types of cuisines available around the world and I feel like Manchester should have the opportunity to try unique items.”

Upcoming dinners May 10: Vietnamese street food: beef pho with basil, lime, chili, cilantro and bean sprouts, served with dau chao quay (fried bread sticks) May 24: Game of Thrones night: lemon cake, roast lamb leg, stuffed grape leaves, hand-rolled berry tarts and a “poison” cranberry-peach draught May 31: Night at Nana’s: Chef Angelina Jacobs’ Nana’s handmade meatballs with tomato sauce, or a vegetarian caponata and asparagus, served over housemade pasta; plus olive oil citrus cake with limoncello raspberry cream June 7: Naruto anime ramen: miso chashu pork ramen narutomaki, soft-boiled egg, preserved bamboo shoots, green onion and housemade noodles June 14: Willy Wonka three-course “chewing gum dinner”: tomato soup, roast beef with baked potatoes and blueberry pie with ice cream, served with a “fizzy lifting drink” and an optional Willy Wonka-inspired chocolate bar, with one that will

contain a winning golden ticket June 28: Maki sushi night: makizushi rolls and nigiri sushi (seasonal fish on rice), onigiri willed with kakuni and umeboshi (braised port and pickled plum) and miso soup July 5: A backyard BBQ: North Carolina-style vinegar barbecue ribs and brisket, or vegetarian barbecue sweet potato burgers, served with sweet potato salad, tangy smoked beans and corn and watermelon soda July 12: Journey to Middle Earth: “hobbiton” spiced braised beef, braised mushrooms and squash, potato-onion soup, and tea and strawberry lemon cream cake July 19: A fairy tale evening with Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs: wiener schnitzel with potato dumplings, braised red cabbage, gooseberry pie and an optional “poison apple” (pulled sugar filled with apple chutney, honey cream and lemon shortbread)

Brianna Hammar Rolfs of Pelham reopened the third-generation family-owned Hammar’s Art Studio and Cultural Center in September 2016, but it wasn’t until last summer that she ventured into the culinary arts. Now, kids can whip up everything from homemade pasta to cake batter truffles at the studio’s Jr. Chef’s Cooking Classes, offered every Thursday now through June for kids and teens ages 6 and up.

“I had always wanted it to be a full cultural center [that offered] more than just art classes, and I saw an opportunity that a lot of younger children weren’t as engaged in the kitchen as they should be,” Hammar Rolfs said. “I think some of the simple things are taken for granted, and so we wanted to give the next generation just those hands-on skills of learning how to cook.”

Starting on May 9 and through the end of June, a different class will be offered each week, from 4 to 5 p.m. Hammar Rolfs constructs the menu with the help of Mark Cahill, the lead chef instructor at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, who teaches each cooking class at the studio.

Upcoming classes will include making fresh tortillas from scratch on May 9; homemade pasta on May 16; creating your own savory or sweet cannoli fillings on May 23; and cake batter truffles on May 30. For the month of June, students will learn how to make spaghetti and meatballs on June 6; rainbow fruit parfaits with whipped cream on June 13; New Hampshire maple syrup granola on June 20; and a made-from-scratch cookie dough pizza topped with mini marshmallows for June 27.

“We try and really spell out how handson each class is going to be, through communicating the cooking actions, like measuring the dough, stirring the batter, things like that,” Hammar Rolfs said. “One of the unique things about these classes too

is that kids are exposed safely to some different tools you might not encounter every day, like the hand-cranked pasta-making machine.”

All materials, including aprons, are provided, she said, and while parents are welcome to participate, the classes are designed for children to work independently.

“If the student needs the support of a parent, they are welcome to. We do also have a comfortable lobby area for them to stay in,” she said.

You can book all four classes offered in May, or all four offered for June, but individual classes are available a la carte as well.

“We allow clients to pick and choose what interests them most,” she said. “That way it allows them to try it out and see if they like it. They get to take what they make home and eat it too, which is always the best part.”

Jr. Chefs Cooking Classes Where: Hammar’s Art Studio & Cultural Center, 71 Bridge St., Pelham When: Thursdays, May 9, through June 27, 4 to 5 p.m.

Cost: $39.99 per class, or $140 per package of four classes ($10 sibling discounts are also available) Visit: hammarsartstudio.com

One of the earliest local crops is lettuce.

Lettuce is wonderfully hardy and therefore one of the first things you can buy at the farmers market. Many farmers (and home growers as well!) have the capacity to start greens indoors, lengthening their growing season even more and making them more available to consumers in New Hampshire. I am so excited to see more of my local farmers next month, when most of the outdoor farmers markets begin around here!

For now, I’m enjoying lēf Farms’ spice blend, which includes mizuna, cressida, arugula, mustard and leaf lettuce varieties.

They’re grown hydroponically year-round in Loudon. Because of the flavor profile, it’s really delicious with a bit of sweetness. Plus, it’s loaded with vitamins A and C. I used to avoid leafy greens with such a strong taste, but I realized I was eating them all wrong.

Now, I reach for something spicy and pair it with something sweet to smooth the whole thing out. I received the recommendation for the salad below from lēf Farms’ Sales and Marketing Manager Don Grandmaison.

Since he’s pretty familiar with their products, I figured I had better trust him on the recipe. I wasn’t wrong — it was delicious!

Maybe you get your greens from the supermarket or maybe you grow them yourself. Regardless, there are so many varieties

to try. Don’t get stuck in a rut with romaine, iceberg or spinach; reach for something new.

Not only will your taste buds thank you, but your body will get to experience the variety of nutrients that comes from a different kind of green.

A bouquet of rosés for mom Celebrate Mother’s Day with wine

By Fred Matuszewski food@hippopress.com

Mothers’ Day is a day to appreciate all that our mothers have done for us.

They gave us life; they nurtured us. They cleaned our scraped knees; they listened to our trials and tribulations. We can never repay them for all the love and attention they have given to us. On this day we try to acknowledge in some small way what they mean to us.

Mothers’ Day and springtime are a wonderful way to celebrate Mother Nature’s gift of the re-birth of the earth, and our appreciation of the things about us. Clear bright rosé wines are a welcoming of warmer temperatures and a re-kindling of sentiment. On Mothers’ Day, present your Mom with a “bouquet of rosés”! There are many to pick from! Here are but a few: Chateau Beauchêne Le Pavillon Côtes du Rhône, 2017 (regularly priced at $13.99, reduced to $8.99), which I recently reviewed, begins our “bouquet”! It is a blend of 40 percent cinsault, 40 percent grenache, 15 percent mourvèdre and 5 percent syrah and can be sipped or paired with light lunches of salad and cheeses on the deck.

Chateau Barbebelle Heritage Rosé, 2017 (regularly priced at $21.99, reduced to $19.99) is but another rosé from Provence.

This wine is different from another Barbebelle I reviewed recently as it is a blend of 40 percent grenache, 40 percent syrah and 20 percent cabernet sauvignon. This wine has a powder pink color of white peaches.

Its nose is full of roses and strawberries.

On the palate are floral notes of roses and pear. This is a very elegant rosé from one of the oldest vineyards of Aix en Provence, appropriate for those special moments.

This is a wine to be enjoyed with shellfish, grilled and served simply.

Jaboulet Côtes du Rhône Parallele 45, 2017 (priced at $14.99) is sourced from the 45th North parallel, which runs but two kilometers from the domaine’s cellars. This blend, begun in 1950, is sourced

from two family vineyards, practicing biodynamic farming, located along the right bank of the Rhône. The vines, 50 percent grenache, 40 percent cinsault and 10 percent syrah, are 20 years old. This wine has an attractive salmon pink color; the nose is intense with very ripe berries. On the palate there is an ample note of tart red berries, with a very dry and fresh finish.

This wine can be sipped, or paired with soft, young cheeses.

Attems Pinot Grigio Ramato DOC, 2017 (regularly priced at $19.99, reduced to $9.99) is a wine not from Provence but from the Republic of Venice, or Veneto, Italy. This wine is sourced from vineyards with soils of a sandy base of fractured limestone that are 50 meters above sea level. Ramato translates to “coppery,” the color of the pinot grigio when in vinification, the must remains in contact with the skins of the grape for about 10 hours, giving the wine a beautiful rose hue. This wine boasts a rich, complex bouquet of crisp fruity notes including white peach and cantaloupe, followed by blackberry, with an intriguing hint of wild flowers.

On the palate the wine is enveloping with a pleasant acidity and long mineral finish of red fruits. This wine can be paired to a charcuterie of sweeter cured meats and cheeses as well as pasta with vegetables, or shellfish.

To celebrate Mother’s Day as children we picked flowers — often dandelions or other wild delights. As we grew older it turned to purchasing roses. This year, you and Mom can try some new spring tastes together from that “bouquet of rosés.” It is a win/win as you and she get introduced to some new wines and most importantly, she gets to spend time with you — the gift mothers treasure most!

Fred Matuszewski is a local architect and a foodie and wine geek, interested in the cultivation of the multiple strains and varieties of grapes and the industry of wine production and sales. Chief among his travels is an annual trip to the wine-producing areas of California.

Don’t ignore pale ales

By Jeff Mucciarone

MAY 16TH Walker Smith

We have 51 flavors of hard ice cream to chose from!

Gift certificates available

Keeping it light I remember my first sip of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I was in college, and I hadn’t had much exposure to beer varieties beyond, you know, Coors Light or Bud Light or Miller Lite.

I remember that first sip as awfully jarring, thick and bitter and, well, just too much for me. Admittedly, that first experience left me with a negative perception of Sierra Nevada for years, which is too bad because it’s a terrific brewery.

My reaction to the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale seems silly nowadays when I enjoy much hoppier and much more bitter India Pale Ales, which have dominated the craft beer movement nationally.

But despite the continued expansion of the IPA style, we shouldn’t ignore the humble pale ale, which is really just a milder version of the IPA — or perhaps you’d prefer to think of the IPA as the crazy uncle of the pale ale.

The pale ale name stems from the 1700s when brewers began using lighter malts, which resulted in both a lighter, more “pale” appearance and a lighter flavor, allowing hops to shine, according to CraftBeerJoe. com.

In the 1800s, what can only be described as the legend of the IPA was born, when, apparently, British colonists in India were pining for their hoppy pale ales but were concerned beers would spoil during the long journey from Great Britain. As the story goes, to keep beers from spoiling, brewers added more hops and bumped up alcohol and, voila, the IPA was born.

VinePair pointed out this line of thought might be flawed as other beer styles, such as stouts and porters, seemed to be able to survive the sea journey despite no increase in hops and alcohol. But you know what, it’s a great story so let’s roll with it.

I think it’s safe to say most beer enthusiasts would agree IPAs are essentially more intense versions of a pale ale. That’s entirely subjective and I’m OK with that. Sometimes you want a little less intensity in life.

Here are a few pale ales — not IPAs — to seek out and enjoy: Shoals Pale Ale by Smuttynose Brewing Co. (Hampton) Crisp and hop-forward, the Shoals Pale Ale has been a Smuttynose staple for years.

A decade ago, people likely would have remarked about how hoppy this pale ale is.

Resonation by Great Rhythm Brewing Co. (Portsmouth) Great Rhythm is known for its tremendous variety of IPAs but the brewery makes a straight pale ale as well. Resonation is “a

crisp Pale Ale with a dose of resinous hops,” according to the brewery.

Tie-Dyed Dry-Hopped Pale Ale by Great North Aleworks (Manchester) Great North Aleworks initially introduced this brew as a summer seasonal offering with its smoother flavor and less intense hop character, compared to IPAs. But, the brew has become a year-round staple notable for its welcoming hop aroma.

El Dorado Falcon Pale Ale by Kettlehead Brewing Co. Kettlehead brewers describe this as hazy and hop-forward with “aromas of candied orange and tangerines with a subtle malt character.”

Juicy Boots Pale Ale by Concord Craft Brewing This beer is brewed with wheat, oats and honey malt and “supplemented” with pineapple and cranberry puree, according to the brewery, which says this is a “crisp, colorful, easy drinking ale.” With Juicy Boots, Concord Craft Brewing uses a blend of hops from the Pink Boots Society, which promotes women in brewing.

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 Longboard Island Lager by Kona Brewing Co. (Hawaii): Sometimes you just need a beer and you don’t really want to think about it. Beyond that, I thought my wife would like this, so I picked up a variety pack from Kona Brewing Co., which includes two varieties of IPAs, the Longboard Island Lager and a Golden Ale. The Island Lager was light and refreshing, but it did have some nice floral notes and a bit more hop character than you might expect. I would describe this brew as “easy living.” Cheers!

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Rodrigo y Gabriela, Mettavolution (ATO Records)

I’m a bit behind on this and have excuses for it, but as always this unique acoustic guitar-playing boy-girl duo deserve mention of whatever they output. That’s the nuts and bolts of it; after bum-rushing the indie-band scene with their finger-destroying mix of flamenco and, well, prog metal, they’ve apparently settled into a comfort zone — when the default RIYLs used by critics have been Metallica and Mars Volta for this long, there’s really no reason to bother pretending they (especially Rodrigo) really like that stuff. That brings us directly to the not-so-great part, what they’ve tabled here as a nextgen product; it’s pretty much Flying V fanboy tripe, without much if any of the (classical or other) show-stopper fare they started out with. This is pretty much a Van Hagar version of the duo, cheaply if enthusiastically rendering a bunch of unplugged riffs that recall — are you sitting down? — ZZ Top, Bowie, Zeppelin, things like that. I mean it’s cool if you really want ’80s hard rock played on acoustic guitar in your Spotify, but these kids really need to get back to the drawing board. D — Eric W. Saeger

Suzi Quatro, No Control (SPV Records)

We haven’t done one of these in a while, have we, where I get to joke that “SPV Mercy Hospital” is the only record label that’ll put out records from people like Saga, Ace Frehley, Kreator (that one has to jog a few brain cells in old metal heads), and this lady, whose Wiki entry unironically brags that she was the first female bass player to become “a major rock star.” Heh heh. She played the rawkin’ sister of Fonzi’s squeeze Pinky Tuscadero on Happy Days, so there was that, and she’s still squishing herself into black fetish-wear at 68. The show must go on, as they say, not that I didn’t expect this to be epically unrelatable to anyone under the age of 45. It’d be more pleasant for all if all I had to do was make some Fonzi jokes to put this one in the books, but OK, let’s start with Vegas-rawking strut-walker “Strings,” which has an actual brass section, then move on to “Macho Man,” which isn’t that song but a new one, full of sassy, hard-rockin’ bitchiness and motorcycle mama ’tude. Et cetera. Good old SPV, chuckle. B- — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • It’s the May 10 new-CD-release week already; let’s see what’s coming out that day, dum de dum … oh no, so that’s why there’s been so much Twitter psychobabble and clickbait stupidity about Ciara’s “abstinence challenge” with her quarterback hubby-or-whatever Russell Wilson, it’s because she’s got a new album coming out on the 10th, called Beauty Marks! Little as I want to, I’ll go see what this business is about, at least insofar as the single, “Thinkin Bout You,” is concerned.

It’s a light bubblegum confection, with inflections of Prince’s “Kiss” in there, and look, she’s twerking in booty shorts on the bed while she gets ready for her date with Russell, don’t you wonder where they’re going to go? Hold it, she gets a phone call in the middle of the song, which calls for a skit meant to give us an inside look into the life of this important intellectual, who’s only taking time out from solving Yemen’s humanitarian crisis in order to twerk and stuff. It’s her girlfriend on the phone, asking her what she’s going to wear, and Ciara assures her it’s going to be lit! And then there’s more recycled Janet Jackson fluff.

• Ho ho ho, another mononymed pain in the neck to deal with, specifically Jamaican dancehall-rapper-stoner Shaggy, a.k.a. Robb Banks’ dad, with his new album, Wah Gwaan! Old people will remember how much fun it was listening to Shaggy’s hits, like “Boombastic,” and the one with the Steve Miller sample, and, OK, every big-radio-hit from 20 years ago, but he’s back, baby! Maybe something off this album will help us forget last year’s idiotic collaboration with Sting, 44/876, which was obviously done to see how much monstrousness my brain can withstand, so I’ll pretend to give Shaggy the benefit of the doubt and go find whatever single is going to suck the least. Well, “You” isn’t completely barfy, its percussion coming courtesy of a cheap sample of a balafon, you know, that wooden African drum thingamajig that’s kind of like a xylophone. No, I do like this song, but as always, Shaggy has a second-banana vocalist role, this time behind the Drake-like Alexander Stewart, whoever he is. Matter of fact, most of the singers here are nobodies, unless you count Gene Noble, who has written songs for Chris Brown and Faith Evans. I dunno, this doesn’t seem any worse than anything I’ve ever heard from Shaggy. Is that important? I don’t know.

• Awesome U.K. tech-dub-jazz collective Meat Beat Manifesto is also back on the 10th, with an album titled Opaque Couché. These guys were so cool back in the day, opening for Nine Inch Nails on their first tour, helping to pioneer the Big Beat sound, and generally just being awesome. Whatever, without further ado, go check out the single “Pin Drop,” man is it sick, a low-key breakbeat-fest with some off-time Aphex Twin-style chill-samples, some grimy dubstep vibe, and bursts of glitch. Makes you wish it was 1990 again, almost.

• Man, where has Clinic been, for cripes sakes? The English noise-indie band’s eighth LP, Wheeltappers and Shunters, is on the way, with a weirder-than-ever single, “Rubber Bullets,” which will make you think of Halloween skeletons playing a surf party. Must they rule so completely? Signs point to yes. — Eric W. Saeger

Underground writing

New literary journal launches in the Monadnock region

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Two friends and writers from the Monadnock region have created a new outlet for New Hampshire writers to share their work.

A Peterborough-based literary journal, Monadnock Underground was launched in April by editor-in-chief Zoë WrotenHeinzmann of Francestown and creative director Chris DiLoreto of Peterborough and is currently the region’s only full-time literary publication.

“We were looking around and saw that Peterborough has this amazing music scene, theater companies, art galleries, all these wonderful artistic centers for different media, but it didn’t have a lot for writing, and we were seeing a lot of people who write who needed an outlet,” DiLoreto said. “What we hope to do is make a writing circle that equals or exceeds these other cultural aspects of the area.”

Monadnock Underground publishes original work by local writers Monday through Friday in an online format at medium.com/monadnock-underground.

Wroten-Heinzmann and DiLoreto said their plan is to start publishing quarterly bound print collections centered around a particular writer or theme and featuring some of the best work that has appeared online as well as some new work. They will sell the books at local bookstores and other businesses, at festivals and events and as e-books and will donate copies to local libraries.

“I’m really looking forward to bringing physical editions to people,” Wroten-Heinzmann said. “There’s something thrilling about reading something that’s tangible, that you can hold in your hands.”

“We want the print editions to be something that people will be proud to own and read and collect, something they want to have on their bookshelf,” DiLoreto added.

With the tagline “a journal of thought and spirit,” Monadnock Underground features fiction, creative nonfiction, offbeat commentary and interviews on a variety of topics, though priority is given to material related to spirituality, mysticism, myth, consciousness, the meaning of life and the nature of the present moment, and to writers living in the Monadnock region. So far, submissions have included writings about medical cannabis, parenting and magic, Pink Floyd, baseball and more.

DiLoreto said he wants Monadnock Underground to also be an outlet for journalistic pieces about matters of local concern.

“We may see things like interviews with local politicians or stories on things that aren’t getting a lot of public attention,” he said. “We see ourselves as an underground newspaper for the region, capturing cultural stuff, the mood and events in a way that straight journalism isn’t doing or cannot do.”

The publication features several regular columns, including “Dispatches,” DiLoreto’s weekly musings and observations; “Dreamscapes,” narrative tellings of actual dreams by Aislin Booth; a weekly Game of Thrones recap; “Outlook,” monthly writings by DiLoreto based on astrology, tarot and I Ching; and “Persephone Days,” monthly writings on topics relating to permaculture by Wroten-Heinzmann.

Wroten-Heinzmann said she’s excited to work with amateur writers to help them create publication-worthy pieces and grow in their craft.

“We want to give people something to write for and a reason to keep working on improving their writing,” she said. “You don’t need to focus on perfection. If you have something to say and the ability to write it, we will work with you to make it the best it can be.”

To help cover the costs of the print quarterlies and to give writers some compensation for their contributions, Monadnock Underground uses a crowdfunding system in which supporters receive perks like exclusive content, free early copies and digital versions of the print quarterlies, emails with behindthe-scenes updates on the progress of the publication and more.

Gingerbread, by Helen Oyeyemi (Riverhead Books, 272 pages) When you first meet the Lee Family — grandmother Margot, mother Harriet and daughter Perdita — they seem just about as ordinary as you can get, albeit perhaps a touch dysfunctional. Protagonist Harriet seems every bit the typical suburban mother who has let her social life fall to the wayside as she focuses on raising her daughter, Perdita, now a teenager.

In an attempt to reclaim some semblance of a social life and gain favor in the community, Harriet spends most of her time obsessively trying to make a name for herself in the Parental Power Association — a variant of the Parent Teacher Association — usually by baking gingerbread, a special recipe that has been handed down through the family, perfected and modified over the years.

Meanwhile, Perdita sounds every bit your average sullen teenager, faking school permission slips for overnight trips to Canterbury and playing hooky, leaving Harriet to worry and wonder about the lack of communication that has grown between them.

However, as the story unfolds, you realize that it’s not only Oyeyemi’s descriptive language that is unique and fairytale-like; the world of the Lee family is anything but ordinary and average.

Over the next pages, what at first looks like Perdita’s suicide attempt you soon learn is actually astral travel, aided, yes, by gingerbread.

Far from depressed, Perdita is merely curious and soul-searching, and her actions are only a result of her burning curiosity to learn more about her past and to locate a long-lost friend of her mother’s (named Gretel, appropriately).

Harriet realizes that she has done a disservice to the girl by not explaining her heritage to her — and, of most interest to Perdita, who her father is. Reluctantly, Harriet sits down (with not only Perdita but also her four dolls, who are somehow sentient beings) and explains the story of her past.

Harriet hails from Druhastrana, a “nation state of indeterminable geographic location” where she once worked as a gingerbread girl (this is described as a “cushy job as a professional child impersonator,” although the reality of the position sounds much more unsavory) to help her mother, Margot, make ends meet.

Gingerbread girls have a complicated existence; they spend their days making gingerbread that they aren’t allowed to eat (instead, they survive on a steady diet of gruel) and their evenings forced to coquettishly entertain patrons they can barely stand.

One of the most unsettling elements of the entire operation is when the girls catch on that they’re being sent fake letters from their families, but “A lot of the girls didn’t mind this: they found this mother ... assigned to them was much better at cheering them on than their actual mothers were.”

Gingerbread can feel vaguely disorienting, but mostly in a good way. The prose is beautiful but the message somewhat unclear. Sometimes your location in time and space is precarious, and a sudden mention of modern life — like a cell phone, The Jerry Springer Show or Tumblr, for example — can feel a bit jarring.

All in all, the story has a lovely feel to it — the language is unique, and due to the fantastical elements it can be hard to tell what is real and what is fairy tale.

But I found my experience to be somewhat marred by the slow pacing and the muddy introduction of a broad, forgettable cast of supporting characters, some of whom have little importance and don’t seem to drive the story forward.

Even as far as the protagonist was concerned, I didn’t find myself at all invested in her journey. There are a number of strong chapters throughout, but at other times the story is hard to follow, and there doesn’t seem to be much by the way of a satisfactory payoff — Oyeyemi herself even seems surprised at the start of Chapter 14 when she pops in to break the fourth wall and ask the reader, “hmm... still here?,” as if she knows by now that many may have given up before they reached this point.

In the end, the book measures up about as well as its namesake confection — it’s an interesting taste, but it lacks real substance. C — Alison Downs

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Long Shot (R)

A Seth Rogen-y writer attracts a Charlize Theron-ish presidential candidate in Long Shot, a movie I found surprisingly enjoyable.

121132

HIPPO | MAY 9 - 15, 2019 | PAGE 42

Fred Flarsky (Rogen) may be in his late 30s but he seems to still be living the post-college life, ambition- and hygiene-wise. His wardrobe of cargo pants (he’s asked at one point if he has any grown-up clothes) and the fact that the tequila in his fridge is in a plastic baggie suggest that he’s not the type that a super withit lady like Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron), the U.S. Secretary of State to buffoonish former TV star President Chambers (Bob Odenkirk), would go for. She wakes up early to make calls to foreign leaders while on an exercise machine and takes micro-naps with her eyes open.

After a chance meeting at a party, Charlotte (who is planning a presidential run) wants Fred to be her campaign speech writer and punch up her policy wonk-ish ideas with human-sounding stories and jokes. Charlotte feels like Fred gets her because back in the day (roughly the era of Boyz II Men) 16-ish-year-old Charlotte was 13-ish-year-old Fred’s babysitter.

The “but how old is anybody supposed to be now” question flitted around like a fly I couldn’t swat away while watching this movie.

Rogen is 37, Theron is 43. How old is Flarsky supposed to be, with his long career of “investigative reporting” that looks more like opinion pieces; how old is Field that when Chambers tells her his plans to forgo a second term in order to make the jump to film she would be his natural replacement?

Nor does the movie’s wishy-washy approach to political parties exactly work. I think, if you do the math — Chambers is beholden to a Roger Ailes-ish conservative cable news channel owner named Parker Wembley (Andy Serkis) — Fields is a Republican, though I don’t think the movie ever specifically says this. Initially, Fred is reluctant to work for her because he is opposed to the platitudes and minimal action of politics but later the movie makes him, briefly, very partisan in his outlook. I was never quite sure what the movie was trying to say about “politics in America” (or if it even had a clear viewpoint).

Where the movie is sharper and more interesting than I expected is about the role gender plays in politics, especially presidential politics, and in relationships between men and women, particularly when the woman in a relationship has a demanding job and a grand ambition. Spoiler alert: Never does the movie suggest that what Charlotte really needs is to give up her presidential ambitions and, like, settle down to raise chickens or some nonsense. This is a small thing but it feels like a positive step forward.

Additionally, this movie is just generally funny, even if it doesn’t land every joke. I feel like this both is the Rogen you expect and is Rogen maturing that character we’ve seen him play a little, gaining some self-awareness.

Theron is allowed to be funny as well — funny and smart and realistically the kind of person

Long Shot

a high-achieving young secretary of state with presidential ambitions would be. June Diane Raphael is a welcome delight in her scenes as Charlotte’s aide and O’Shea Jackson Jr. is fun as Fred’s genuinely kind buddy.

Long Shot won’t change your life nor does it revolutionize the genre but it is a fun surprise of an above average bit of romantic-comedy entertainment. B Rate R for strong sexual content, language throughout and some drug use, according to the MPAA. Directed by Jonathan Levine with a screenplay by Dan Sterling and Liza Hannah, Long Shot is two hours and five minutes long and distributed by Summit Entertainment.

UglyDolls (PG)

Smooshy, colorful blob dolls compete with bigheaded “perfect” dolls for the chance to go find their human child in UglyDolls, an animated movie based on toys of the same name.

The world as rendered here is charmingly pillow-y and fabric-y with seams and stitches. The UglyDolls have a “friendly homemade sock puppet” vibe and are rendered in cheery colors. Their pillowverse feels like a good setting for cute, gentle, merchandisable story-telling.

But not only does the story feel like a less engaging copy of similar properties (Trolls and its lead character Poppy are strongly brought to mind by the pink, Kelly Clarkson-voiced Moxy here; Wanda Sykes voices a character very similar to the gargoyle she voices on the animated Disney TV show Vampirina); it also often has a mean edge. I read the Common Sense Media preview of this movie (which gave it a 7+ age rating) before I saw it, trying to decide if I wanted to bring along my daughter. The description left me on the bubble about taking her and I’m glad I didn’t; parts of this movie feel both old-fashioned in how they deliver their “your flaws are great!” message (but still flaws, the movie seems to say) and unpleasant in the way the dolls treat each other.

The movie sets up the squeezeable, factory-reject UglyDolls in opposition to a bunch of vaguely Bratz-ish-looking dolls receiving instruction in perfection before heading to the “Big World” to meet their kids. Moxy has

always wanted to find a child to love her and play with her and so she and her buddies set off to find a way to the Big World. When they reach a perfect doll waystation, they meet leader Lou (voice of Nick Jonas), who is treated with swooning adoration — another element of ickiness. (I get that he is the villain and the girls who help him are portrayed as making, as we say to preschoolers, a wrong choice but I still don’t want to show my kids in 2019 a movie where girls do mean things to gain a boy’s approval and the movie plays it for laughs.)

Moxy and company fight to go through a kind of doll bootcamp (learning how to survive the washing machine or how to avoid permanent marker). Those who make it get loving homes; those who don’t are, I guess, recycled? (Shades of Toy Story 3 in that depiction.)

Look, I don’t need this to be Shakespeare; I just need this to be an entertaining hour and a half (and oh boy does this movie feel longer than its 90-ish minutes) that doesn’t present mean-girlery that requires me to momsplain later. (Deconstructing “what the movie was trying to say is that those girls shouldn’t be mean to the dolls that look different” feels like a fool’s errand after glossy animation has presented jerkishness for laughs.)

I feel like there were ways of having fun with the visuals of the cute, appealing UglyDolls and working in messages about kindness trumping appearance (which, I think, was the point?). I wish the movie had found that way because this isn’t it. CRated PG for thematic elements and for brief action, according to the MPAA. Directed by Kelly Asbury with a screenplay by Alison Peck, UglyDolls is an hour and 27 minutes long and distributed by STX Entertainment.

The Intruder (PG-13)

A young couple can’t get rid of the old owner of their new house in The Intruder.

When Charlie Peck (Dennis Quaid) seethes while wearing a red baseball cap and watching the young African American couple — advertising guy Scott Russell (Michael Ealy) and writer Annie Russell (Meagan Good) — make changes to the Napa Valley home he’s sold them, are we supposed to be

reading more into it? I couldn’t decide if this movie was trying to make some point about generational conflict or politics while going about its standard thriller movie business.

If it is, it’s doing so very half-heartedly and not in a way that makes up for the enormous amount of waiting we have to do.

We in the audience know that Charlie will turn out to be bonkers in the particularly overthe-top thriller way that has him not just leering in windows and creeping around the house peeping at the new owners but also sniffing Annie and smashing his way through doors.

Despite saying he plans to move to Florida after selling Scott and Annie a lovely fixer-upper for $3.5 million, Charlie doesn’t leave town and frequently shows up at the house to explain the lawn maintenance or try to dissuade the couple from getting a security system installed. Annie thinks he’s lonely and feels sorry for him but Scott, rightly, gets an unhinged vibe and becomes increasingly uncomfortable with Charlie’s pop-bys and Annie’s friendly invitations.

Thus does Annie say “he’s just helping with

the Christmas lights” and we notice Charlie smelling her neck. Or, Scott hears the teenagers Charlie tells him will sometimes hang out in the nature area behind the house but we also see Charlie in the shadows. Yes, yes, I’m sure those noises are just the house settling, meanwhile I check the time again. When the information and action do finally start pouring out, it comes in a rush and then the movie is over. I think this formula can work, but it requires more — more character business, more fun with either the twists or the dialogue, more something — to keep up the energy through everything that comes before we get to the climactic fight we know is coming.

Ealy and Good are fine and Quaid clearly likes playing the villain (maybe likes it a little too much; he all but grows a mustache to twirl) but it’s not enough. C Rated PG-13 for violence, terror, some sexuality, language and thematic elements, according to the MPAA. Directed by Deon Taylor with a screenplay by David Loughery, The Intruder is an hour and 42 minutes long and distributed by Screen Gems.

Piano quartet pays tribute to Dave Brubeck

By Michael Witthaus mwitthaus@hippopress.com

Eric Mintel is big on past lives. The piano player channels Vince Guaaldi doing A Charlie Brown Christmas during the holiday season.

He’s also a musical dead ringer for Dave Brubeck, something Manchester fans can see on May 10, when Mintel performs classics from the jazz legend, along with lesser-heard songs.

When he’s not on stage, Mintel likes to look into the spirit world. He and two of his musician friends are behind a series of popular Facebook videos that are a combination of Scooby-Doo and Ghostbusters, in 5/4 time.

Though played for laughs, Bucks County Paranormal Investigations is based on real events, Mintel said in a recent phone interview from his home in Morrisville, Pennsylvania.

“We play these really cool places, and there is always inevitably some kind of ghost story,” he said. “Mauch Chunk Opera House in Jim Thorpe is crazy haunted, for example. I always wanted to have a show where we’d play jazz music, and then after the gig, we would investigate the place.”

Locally, he’s heard things about the Palace Theatre and hopes the management there will consider letting him bring his collection of laser thermometers and otherworldly walkie talkies on site someday. For the moment, though, he’s just looking forward to playing another show at one of his favorite venues, the recently opened Spotlight Room.

He performed there in December.

“It’s a great crowd, I love the vibe there, and the piano,” he said. “It’s not like being in the theater, but I love those intimate spaces.”

Dave Brubeck’s music was the spark that lit the fire for Mintel’s interest in jazz. Until he stumbled onto “Take Five” backed with “Blue Rondo à la Turk” in a box of his parents’ records, he was content impressing his friends with covers of cartoon show theme songs.

“I found this old 45 with this guy with hornrimmed glasses who looked like Buddy Holly,”

he said. “I wound up finding out later that most of the DJs in the country were playing that very record when ‘Take Five’ was becoming a hit. I just put it on and had a total connection with the music.”

Mintel will perform with his longtime band, with Nelson Hill playing saxophone, drummer Dave Mohn drums and Jack Hegyi on bass.

Hegyi is the newest member; he joined seven years ago. Mohn and Mintel have been together 20 years, and Mintel has been with Hill for a decade.

“This group just has big ears; everybody listens,” Mintel said. “We’ll hit some kind of rhythmic thing together and think, ‘wow, where did that come from?’ It’s because we’re listening, we’re on that same wavelength. It’s such an emotional part of being human because you have to be open to everything that is going on in that moment, and you’ve got a split second to think of what you’re going to play.”

That can happen when recreating another performer’s sound, like Brubeck, if the feedback’s right.

“I always tell the audience they’re the extra member of the group,” Mintel said. “It’s their energy that drives the group because whatever response we’re getting will determine where the performance is going to go. … It’s so important to a jazz group. That is why I try

to treat my audience like gold.”

Mintel was able to meet Brubeck before he died; the master said at the time that young performers like him provided faith that “jazz will continue to thrive and progress as a voice of freedom.”

Asked about the program for the Manchester show, Mintel promised both rarities and hits.

“There’s some cool stuff that people might not recognize,” he said. “We did an album a little while ago called Tribute to Dave Brubeck, that’s out of print now, with things like ‘Cassandra’ and ‘Koto Song’ from his Jazz Impressions of Japan. ‘Unisphere’ is in 10/4 time — not many of those around — and Crescent City Stomp is a newer piece; he wrote it when he was about 80.”

Mintel added, “And of course we’ll be doing ‘Take Five’ and ‘Blue Rondo’ too.”

Not playing those would be like Lynyrd Skynyrd leaving “Free Bird” and “Sweet Home Alabama” off the setlist.

Where: Palace Theatre Spotlight Room, 96 Hanover St., Hanover Tickets: $29 at palacetheatre.org

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Florida!

Police officers in Indialantic, Florida, responded to at least seven calls about a man disturbing the peace on April 7. Patrons of Starbucks and Sassy Granny’s Smoothies, among others, were startled when 61-yearold Thomas Devaney Lane started yelling, calling himself “the saint” and threatening to unleash his army of turtles on the community. According to WKMG, Lane went along with an officer to the police station, where he screamed at the dispatcher and pounded on the walls, but then left the building.

He was located later at a 7-Eleven, verbally assaulting customers. As officers stood by, Lane called 911 and told the dispatcher, “I need to leave now or you will all be sorry you (expletive) with the saint.” Lane was charged with disturbing the peace, resisting arrest without violence and misusing 911.

The way the world works

In Nashville, Tennessee, as the NFL Draft was taking over the town, brides and bridesmaids celebrating bachelorette parties were confounded by the crowds. WZTV reported on April 25 that the influx of crazed football fans was cramping the style of several groups: “We come here to listen to country music, not hang out with football boys,” pouted a bride named Cara. “I’ll tell you who’s going to pay for this. My husband. No football next season,” threatened a bridesmaid named Cyndi. But a bride named Savannah was more Zen about the situation: “We’re gonna make the best of it. It is what it is.”

Running out of time

Lukas Bates, 30, of southeastern England, dreamed big while running the London Marathon on April 28, according to Fox News.

In addition to finishing, Bates hoped to secure a Guinness world record as the fastest runner dressed as an iconic building. His costume, the tower known as Big Ben in London, rose several feet above his head — and that, it turns out, is what tripped him up.

As Bates approached the finish line, his costume got caught on the scoreboard structure overhead. Finally a sympathetic race steward helped Bates free himself and make it over the finish line in three hours, 54 minutes and 21 seconds — missing by only 20 seconds the record held by Richard Mietz, who ran last year’s Berlin Marathon dressed as Germany’s Holstentor gate.

One way to assure a negative response to a job application is to lift a few items from your prospective employer on the way out.

So it went for an unnamed 36-year-old man in Gillette, Wyoming, who visited a Sportsman’s Warehouse on April 24, where he paid for some items with a rewards card but also left the store with some bullets and a pair of sunglasses. Two days later, the Gillette News

Record reported, the man returned and asked to fill out a job application, then walked out with two more pairs of sunglasses worth $85. This time, workers called police, who arrested the man and recovered all the stolen items.

Inexplicable

Awesome!

Idahoans embraced the Big Idaho Potato, a 28-foot-long steel-and-plaster potato constructed in 2012 to mark the Idaho Potato Commission’s 75th anniversary.

It’s been traveling the country ever since, promoting Idaho’s biggest crop, and the plan was for it to be retired this year, when Big Idaho Potato 2.0 arrives. But Kristie Wolfe had better idea. The tiny house builder has converted the sculpture into a single-room hotel (aptly called the Big Idaho Potato Hotel), reported USA Today.

It features a queen bed, two chairs and a bathroom with a whirlpool and skylight for stargazing; Wolfe lists it on Airbnb for $200 per night. “It’s a way of inviting people to experience Idaho in a unique way,” remarked Frank Muir, CEO of the Idaho Potato Commission.

The Lankenau Medical Center in suburban Philadelphia was the site of a break-in on the morning of April 20, but it was the stolen loot that leaves us scratching our heads. Two men and a woman stuffed several colonoscopes worth $450,000 into three backpacks. The scopes are used to examine colons during colonoscopies. “This is not something that a typical pawn shop might accept,” said Lower Merion Police Det. Sgt. Michael Vice. “My feeling would be that it was some type of black market sales.” He also told WCAU that it’s not yet clear whether it was an inside job.
