June is right around the corner. To many, June represents the end of school and the start of summer. For LGBTQ+ folks, it’s the one month a year where signs of solidarity and support are ever present with the kickoff of Pride month. Soon there will be rainbow flags raised in public spaces, and pride parades and festivals will be celebrated across the state. There are pride events scheduled for nearly every weekend in New Hampshire. From Concord to Claremont, Manchester to Rochester, and Portsmouth to Nashua, the number of communities that are coming together to express their support of the LGBTQ population in New Hampshire has grown significantly in just the last five years. The kickoff event is June 1 in Concord. Pride Concord is organized by my colleague, Alison Murphy, and many others who call the capital city home. This family-friendly event will take place on the Statehouse lawn from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will feature music, presenters and local vendors. June 22 is the date of, arguably, our largest pride celebration in the state and the oldest. Prior to 2015 there were no organized pride events in the state. Seacoast Outright, a local nonprofit that supports LGBTQ youth, decided to organize a parade to help draw the community together. The inaugural event was planned months in advance but, through a twist of fate, occurred the day after the Supreme Court’s decision on marriage equality. Needless to say, it was an emotional and beautiful celebration here in New Hampshire. Portsmouth Pride features a march through the streets of downtown Portsmouth with participants donning a color of the rainbow. A festival at Strawbery Banke follows the parade with an afternoon full of music, vendors, food and speakers. Finally, we conclude the month in Nashua on June 29. This event is unique in that it’s sponsored and organized through a public office in New Hampshire. The afternoon event will feature a parade, speakers, musical performances and much more. The mayor and his staff organize this event to celebrate and promote diversity, acceptance, equality and inclusion of all people. Details on all Pride events happening across the state can be found by visiting the Facebook events for each or by searching online for “pride events New Hampshire.” If you’ve never been, I encourage you to take a few hours to attend a pride event. Admission is free and, if Mother Nature is cooperating, it’s a good excuse to get outside with your family. You don’t have to identify as LGBTQ to find yourself enjoying the beauty of diversity and community woven throughout these experiences.

NEWS & NOTES New superintendent

The Manchester school board chose John Goldhardt as the new superintendent of the school district last Thursday night, during a special meeting at Manchester High School West, according to a press release from the school board. Goldhardt was the outsider of the three finalists interviewed. He is currently the executive director and chief of school leadership and performance for the Salt Lake City School District. His track record includes creating a leadership academy focused on urban school leadership, in association with the Utah Education Policy Center at the University of Utah. The other candidates were Amy Allen, who has been a member of the Manchester City School District staff since 2009, and Jennifer Gillis, who has been with the district for five years, according to the press release. Both have served as assistant superintendents and are now co-interim superintendents. Goldhardt will start his new position July 1, at a salary of $170,000 per year, and the board has approved offering him a three-year contract.

End of an era

The Manchester Monarchs, part of the East Coast Hockey League, will no longer exist at the end of this season, according to a news release from SMG, the management team for SNHU Arena, where the Monarchs have played since 2001. SMG said in its release that it got the news as everyone else did, from the announcement posted on the Monarchs’ website. The team averaged 2,409 fans per game this season, far fewer than the 4,622 in its first ECHL season in 2015-16. In a statement, the team thanked its

fans for its 18 years in Manchester. The abrupt departure leaves an unexpected hole in the arena’s schedule, although the venue also hosts other sporting events as well as concerts, trade shows and family shows. Tim Bechert, senior general manager for SMG, said in the press release that the company would start offering the arena, which is owned by the city, as a home for another professional sports team. According to the Union Leader, in the short term, 21 jobs will be lost: 17 front-office staff positions and four hockey-related positions.

D-H expansion

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health is making major investments in Manchester, part of a larger trend of health care realignments in southern New Hampshire. It recently broke ground for an expansion of its Manchester clinic at 100 Hitchcock Way, an outpatient facility. The 90,000-square-foot addition will include operating rooms, expanded imaging facilities, clinical space and offices, said Rick Adams, the company’s senior director of media relations. The $59 million budget for the project was approved by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health trustees in the fall of 2017, he said. “This expansion is very important for Dartmouth-Hitchcock Manchester,” Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health CEO and President Joanne M. Conroy said in a press release. “It’s one of our oldest facilities, and its currently at capacity. This expansion will double the square footage and improve care in a number of important ways, including the addition of our ambulatory surgery center.”

Jobs for vets

New Hampshire is now part of a program created to help new veterans get a job. Gov. Sununu signed an agreement last Wednesday with Under Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy, committing New Hampshire to participate in the Army’s Partnership for Youth Success (PaYS) program, making it the third state in the nation to do so. The PaYS program guarantees exiting soldiers at least a job interview.

Signed bills

Gov. Sununu recently signed HB 111, a bill to establish a committee to study the effect of the opioid crisis, substance misuse, adverse childhood experiences, and domestic violence as a cause of posttraumatic stress disorder syndrome and other mental health and behavioral problems in New Hampshire children and students, according to a news release from his office. Sununu also signed, among other legislation, HB 123, which requires schools to revise their emergency response plans to include at least one test drill involving an armed assailant. The drill can be “discussion based,” however, according to the bill.

MCC grant

Manchester Community College has been awarded nearly $300,000 in federal funding. The college won a grant from the National Science Foundation to support an education curriculum to create skilled technical workers, according to a news release from the office of U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. “I often hear from small business owners in New Hampshire struggling to hire workers with science, technology, engineering and

CONCORD

The state Department of Health and Human Services is investigating a case of measles.

RED-TAILED HAWKS

Gov. Sununu is expected to sign a bill naming the red-tailed hawk as New Hampshire’s state raptor, after the Senate on May 15 unanimously passed a bill making the designation. A group of students from Lincoln Akerman School lobbied for the bill, according to a Senate news release. The students had tried unsuccessfully four years ago as a class project, but it was rejected that year by several state representatives who called the bill a waste of time and compared the bird’s predatory tactics to abortions by Planned Parenthood. “It’s a great way to end our middle school years,” said eighth-grader Daniel Blankenship, who traveled to Concord to watch the Senate vote on their bill. It had passed the House by a vote of 333-11.

DOGS

for...

Pathologists at the New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Lab at UNH have identified a new, distinct strain of canine distemper virus that has been found in wild animals in New Hampshire and Vermont. It has not yet been found in domesticated dogs, but could be a threat to them, according to a report in Science Daily. “A distinct strain of canine distemper virus is circulating in multiple wildlife species in two contiguous states in Northern New England,” said David Needle, senior veterinary pathologist and assistant clinical professor, in the study published in the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation. “This strain is significantly distinct from the vaccine strains. A member of the genus Morbillivirus that includes measles, canine distemper virus is highly contagious and causes severe disease in infected animals.” Dogs should routinely be vaccinated against canine distemper virus in any case, the report states, and any unvaccinated dogs should be vaccinated.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Farming more sustainable

More New Hampshire farmers have adopted sustainable farming practices such as no-till or reduced-till crop management, the state’s 2017 Census of Agriculture found, according to a news release from UNH’s NH Agricultural Experiment Station. The census showed that the number of cropland acres under no-till practices increased by 147 percent from 2012 to 2017. QOL Score: +1 Comment: The use of cover crops (crops grown before or after cash crops) increased by 66 percent.

Senate burns carbon credits

Ratepayers who get rebates from the state’s Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) would lose that money under a bill the Senate passed last week, according to NHPR. The program, which includes several Northeast states, tries to limit carbon emissions by selling the right to pollute. New Hampshire rebates most of its proceeds to ratepayers, but the bill would scrap that and put the funds toward energy-efficiency programs instead. QOL Score: -1 Comment: A similar measure failed last year.

Parkland gets another top grade

The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit that reports quality and safety information about hospitals, has given Parkland Medical Center in Derry an “A” grade for the fifth consecutive year, according to a press release from the hospital. Parkland Medical Center is an 86-bed regional acute care hospital with a Level III Trauma Center. “As part of our ongoing commitment to excellence, our physicians and staff continuously implement best practices to ensure our patients receive safe, high-quality care,” Jeff Scionti, the hospital’s chief executive officer, said in the press release. “Hospitals that earn an ‘A’ grade are making it a priority to protect patients from preventable medical harm and error,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. QOL Score: +1 Comment: Parkland says it is the only hospital in the state to get an A grade five years in a row.

More people employed

Seasonally adjusted job estimates for April show 748,970 New Hampshire residents employed, according to New Hampshire Employment Security agency. That figure is up 750 from March, and 8,330 from April 2018. The unemployment rate remains at 2.4 percent, slightly below the April 2018 seasonally adjusted rate of 2.6 percent. QOL: +1 Comment: Total nonfarm jobs in the state went up a little in April, 115,400 over 114,700 in March.

Construction mishap

More than six businesses in Salem had to be temporarily evacuated Monday after a contractor accidentally struck a gas line, reported the Union Leader. The contractor was installing a new sewer line under Route 28, and the accident resulted in closing the road between Veterans Memorial Parkway and the Salem Depot area. Nobody was reported injured and the road reopened later that day. QOL: -1 Comment: Thankfully, nobody was reported injured and the road reopened later that day.

News Item: Boston sports headed to uncharted territory? The Bruins are four games from joining the Patriots and Red Sox as league champs to give Boston reigning champs in three of the four major national sports. Only New York has been close, when the Jets won SB III in January 1969, the Mets won the World Series in October and the Knicks started their run to the 1970 title in November. Though the Celtics were actual 1969 champs. A Stanley Cup Finals win would be the latest reminder that these are the good old days to appreciate and how even more disappointing the Celtics were as they might’ve made it four with more brains, tenacity and luck. News Item: Hoping Bruins give St. Louis the blues With St. Louis up 3-2 as this is written, it’s looking like it could be a re-do of the 1970 Stanley Cup Finals. For the historically challenged, that’s when Bobby Orr famously flew through the air after potting the game-winner by St. Louis goalie Glenn Hall for a 4-0 Bruins sweep of the Blues. The story was a little different, as that was when the NHL expanded from six to 12 teams with the original six in the Eastern Division and the West had all expansion teams. So a sweep was not unexpected. But that edition is a bit mis-remembered as more dominant. Conversely, it only had 99 points to 107 in 2018-19. With all due respect to future Hall of Famer Zdeno Chara, they don’t have anyone remotely like the great Orr. But Brad Marchand and others have the same physical/edgy style as their ancestors, while Tuukka Rask has gone from public punching bag during the year to a latter-day ever-clutch Gerry Cheevers. Let’s hope the season ends the same way. News Item: Sox face critics of White House Visit on both sides

If you read this space regularly you know I’m no fan of the president. But Jemele Hill and others criticizing Red Sox players visiting the White House along racial lines is unfair. Maybe it was to take in the history and majesty of the place. Maybe they’re going to make their parents happy, or just being respectful to the office and consider the invitation an honor. Maybe they’re Republicans. Or maybe they wanted to go the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center part to support warriors who’ve been wounded defending the nation. The truth is we don’t know why they elected to go. To folks stumping for Trump on the other side, criticizing Alex Cora’s support-of-Puerto Rico reasoning and the others as left-leaning deep staters, remember it was Glenn Beck loving Tim Thomas, who started this nonsense in 2011 because he didn’t like Barack Obama. Sorry, it’s a to-each-his-own world and they’re just baseball players. Stop projecting your politics on them. News Item: Golden State making a ‘We Don’t Need Durant’ statement? The NBA basketball rumor mill is all aflutter that Kevin Durant will leave the Warriors for New York in free agency. So one wonders with a four-game playoff winning streak since he went down whether Steph Curry and company are trying to remind all they won before K.D. got here and can do so again without him. If they win whether he makes it back or not it could be an interesting storyline for next season. One similar to Edmonton’s response to Wayne Gretzky forcing a trade to the L.A. Kings in 1989 after the Oilers had won four titles over five years with the Great One. But with Gretzky in L.A., the Oilers won No. 5 without him, including sweeping his Kings along the way. Have to think trying to match that feat after losing Durant is just the kind of motivation a (potential) four-time champ needs. News Item: PGA moves to May It wasn’t the most suspenseful PGA

Championship until Brooks Koepka started melting down on Sunday’s back nine at Bethpage Black to turn a runaway into a one-shot lead with four to play. But with help from Dustin Johnson he still held on to win his second straight PGA. In the end, moving it to May the PGA Tour got the desired effect of being a nice momentum-building major event bridge between the Masters and U.S. Open. Still, before that’s declared a total winner, let’s see how golf fans feel when the majors season after the British Open is over in mid-July ends with six weeks still left of summer. For it to be a total home run the Tour needs to find an event capturing August public interest as the PGA has done since 1965. News Item: Collins back in the fold Attitude and being distracted by big money thoughts led Coach B to shock the NFL by trading Jamie Collins at mid-year in 2016. The next day on the Sports Hub host Tony Maserati said, “Tell me how this makes the Patriots better.” The answer was, it didn’t hurt the mission, as the Patriots still went on to beat Seattle in the Super Bowl three months later. But he’s now back in the fold, so the question is, what’s changed? Well, he got the big deal, but it lasted only for two of its four years. There was also all the losing in Cleveland, which went 1-23, including 0-16 in 2017 during his first two years. Then he got dumped just as they appeared ready to contend, before languishing on the free agent market for three months. Thoughts of career mortality have a way of changing attitudes. So the Patriots did what they always do: swooped in for a bargain. With Deion Branch, LeGarrette Blount and especially Patrick Chung returning alumni have worked before. It if works again, they’ve added depth, athleticism and versatility at linebacker. If not, with only $250K of the incentive-laden deal guaranteed the cap hit is minimal. So why not?

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S PEOPLE, PLACES & OTHER STUFF

Monarchs cease operations The Big Story: Sadly, the Manchester Monarchs ended a great 18-year run in town last week by ceasing operation effective immediately. The death knell actually sounded four years earlier when the L.A. Kings moved their AHL affiliate to California, leading to ECHL Monarchs’ eventual doom. Sports 101: Name the only three NBA players to win the MVP award in three consecutive seasons. Out-of-Town Scores: Nice start at the PGA Championship by Hooksett’s Rich Berberian, where he was one over par after 11 holes at famed Bethpage Black. But he went five over on the final seven for a 76, followed by Friday’s 75 to miss the cut. Disappointing, but still a pretty good big picture experience. 1-2 Softball Punch of the Week: Manchester Memorial duo of Abbey Durell and Emersyn Provencher, who hit a solo and two-run homer during a four-run first inning that sent them on to an 8-6 win over Salem. 1-2 Lacrosse Punch of the Week: Pinkerton’s Hunter and Mason Drou-

The Numbers

4 & 12 – hits allowed and strikeouts by Brett Anderson in going the distance for Bishop Guertin in a 4-0 win over Portsmouth. 13 – goals and points from the Derryfield lacrosse duo of Lucy Licata (7) and Olivia Strong (6) as the Cougars flattened Lebanon 18-1. 14 – MLB games before 20-year-old ex-F-Cat Vlad Guerrero hit his first and

in, who each had five goals in the Astros’ 13-goal second-half explosion, leading to a 19-4 win over Nashua South. Babe Ruth Award: Connor Hujsak for scoring the only run in Goffstown’s 1-0 win over Windham while allowing four hits and striking out 13 over six innings. Crime and Punishment: Not good news for Ryan Griffin, who was cut by the Texans following his arrest for disorderly conduct in Memphis the night of the NFL draft. Now the question is for Litchfield’s favorite son – with their uncertainty at tight end will the Patriots give him a look-see? Sports 101 Answer: Bill Russell (6163), Wilt Chamberlain (66-68) and Larry Bird (84-86) are the NBA’s only MVPs in three consecutive seasons. On This Day, May 23: 1962 – Joe Pepitone joins Joe DiMaggio as the only two Yankee players to hit two home runs in one inning. 1978 – Tom Yawkey’s estate sells the Red Sox to his widow Jean for $15 million. 1984 – after winning 30 of their first 35 games the Detroit Tigers win a record-tying 16th straight road game.

second career homers (vs. San Francisco) to take him past Celtics GM Danny Ainge as the youngest Blue Jay to hit a home run. 15 – hits by Windham in a 15-0 mercy rule-shortened win over Goffstown when Aislinn Milner and Makayla Panich homered and Jasmine Moskovitz put the game away with a sixth-inning grand slam. 64 – consecutive game won by the Derryfield boys lacrosse team before the

streak ended Friday when Exeter rode a second-half rally to an 8-7 upset win. 100 & 200 – career goals and points reached by Central laxsters Ryleigh Cavanaugh and Emma Dudley respectively in an 18-7 loss to Exeter. Nick of Tyme Award: To Halle Laramie, who knocked in the winning run in the eighth inning with an inside-the-park homer, which was her third hit of the day.

Joe Pepitone: The hot-tempered lefty slugger Kramer “plunked” in the ribs on Seinfeld while pitching at Yankee Fantasy, because, as he explained to Jerry, “I own the inside of the plate.” It led to a wild melee where Kramer knocked Mickey Mantle flat with a sock to the nose, before being chased around the outfield by ’40s-’50s Yankee and ex-WWII Marine hero Hank Bauer. A scene not too far from the spirited real-life beanball-sparked 1966 brawl between the Yanks and Sox when Peppy and Rico Petrocelli slugged it out at second base in a battle eventually broken up by Rico’s NYC cop brother. Jemele Hill: Failed ESPN host in the ill-conceived SC6 his-and-hers Sports Center experiment. Raised the ire of the political right and her bosses at ESPN for tweeting President Trump was a “white supremacist” in the wake of his saying there were “good people on both sides” after a counter-protester was run over by a car and killed at the 2017 Charlottesville, Virginia, Unite The Right rally. The controversy eventually contributed to leaving the network. Glenn Hall: Fabled NHL goalie who won Cups with Detroit (1956) and Chicago (1961). Won the Vezina Trophy three times, was first team All NHL five times and played 502 consecutive games despite never donning a face mask. Was plucked off the expansion list by St. Louis in 1967 and eventually led them to the 1970 Finals. Went into the, ah, (Glenn) Hall in 1975.

ARTS Between the pages

Exhibition showcases art books and illustrations By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

A new exhibition at Twiggs Gallery in Boscawen is showing that books are for more than reading; they’re also a medium for visual art. “Book Arts/Art Books,” on display now through July 7, features a series of art books and illustrations by 11 regional book artists and illustrators. “Books are an art in themselves, and these books [in the exhibit] are unique and one of a kind,” gallery manager Laura Morrison said. “We’re excited to have a lot of different examples of book art.” Not all of the art books are structured like a conventional book. There are books that are sculptural or include 3D art between the pages; there are some that open in an unconventional way, like an accordion-style book; and some are not bound at all and have loose, unbound pages that the viewer flips through one at a time. The illustrators have original illustrations on display, with some of their published books for sale. “As long as [the artists] say it’s a book, it’s a book,” Morrison said. “All that makes a book is that it’s narrative in nature, or, if it’s not telling an actual story, then it’s trying to convey an idea with some sort of progression, where you move from beginning to end.” The featured book artists used a variety of media for their books, including natural materials and collage, wax paper and paper

arts, fabric arts, drawing, painting, papier mache and sculpture. The illustrators represent various styles, including graphic novel, ink, watercolor and three-dimensional illustrations. One artist, Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord of Newburyport, Mass., is presenting two books from her Spirit Books series, which she started in 1992. Her Spirit Books are bound sculptural books made with handmade papers from around the world and patterns and collage created using natural materials. They sit in a cradle made of wood or other natural materials, open so that the

The books are No. 57 and No. 91, respectively, in her Spirit Books series, which includes 100 books. While Gaylord’s books are sculptural and not to be touched, Morrison said many of the books at the exhibit will be available for viewers to pick up and look through. “They are meant to be handled,” Morrison said. “That’s the best way to experience them, because sometimes, when they’re on display, you can only see one or two of the pages, and you miss everything else that’s inside.” The exhibit will include a free presentation by Gaylord on Saturday, June 15, called “A Celebration of Books and Their History.” Gaylord, who has done an extensive amount of research on the topic, will show some viewer can see into the book. additional art books that she has created as Gaylord gathers the materials herself well as art books from her own collection during walks on nearby beaches and around of art books from around the world created her neighborhood. by contemporary artists using palm leaves, “I wanted more of a connection with wood, silk, vellum and other materials. nature than with traditional art materials,” she said. “I felt an attraction and an inner life to these things I was gathering, and I wanted “Book Arts/Art Books: An Artists’ to pay tribute to that.” Books and Illustration Exhibit” Her book “Twined Salutation” is made When: Now through July 7 with lokta paper from Nepal, mashamba Where: Twiggs Gallery, 254 King St., paper from Africa, wire, glass seed beads and Boscawen thread on a cradle of bittersweet and wood.

Recently I was asked about plants for shady places. Wildflowers, I said, are wonderful in the woods or at the edge of the woods. Most show up early, before the leaves are on the trees. They are the perfect antidote to a long winter and rainy spring. They bring color and brightness just when we need it most. Among the early wildflowers, bloodroot is one of my favorites, and it is early. First it sends up a leaf rolled up like a cigar. Then the leaf opens to display a brilliantly white flower that is an inch or two inches across. The flowers stay closed on cool, cloudy days but open up for business when the sun comes out — and the pollinators. If you have bloodroot in your woods and want some in your shade garden, the rhizomes (root structures) can be dug up and moved easily. But wear gloves! The roots produce a red sap which has been used for dyes, but it is highly toxic. According to an article by Susan Mahr of the University of Wisconsin Master Gardener program, blood root sap is “an escharotic, a substance that kills tissue, and external application is a skin irritant causing severe burning pain and disfigurement.” She says to move bloodroot in mid-summer as the plants begin to go dormant, but before the leaves disappear. A friend gave me a small clump of double bloodroot about 15 years ago, and it has spread nicely. It is a tetraploid, meaning it has double the number of chromosomes, and is sterile, making it rare and expensive. I have divided mine and now have it in several places. Each blossom looks like a tiny white peony. Another one of my favorite wildflowers is Jack-in-the-pulpit. Some are fully up now in my woods, while others are just poking up their noses. The flower is not very flower-like. There is a purple phallic-looking projection that looks up from the center of the plant that is sheltered by an overhanging flap of leaf-like growth. The two large leaves are distinct on tall stems. It does well in rich soil and dappled shade. I’ve had great luck planting seeds of Jackin-the-pulpit in mid-summer. They are bright red when ripe. If you want to harvest some, wear gloves as the seeds of Jack-in-the-pulpit, like bloodroot, contain toxic chemicals. The seeds need to be cleaned by mashing the pulp and washing it away before drying and planting. If you do so, you should see germination the following spring (but it will be two to three years before you see flowers). Both bloodroot and Jack-in-the-pulpit seeds produce eliasomes. These are organs that are attractive to ants, who drag the

seeds — complete with the fleshy white eliasomes — back to their nests. The ants eat the eliasomes, then dump the seeds in an ant trash pile, where they can germinate. That way the seeds can travel some distance. Clever! Trout lily or dog tooth violets were common in the spring woods where I grew up in Connecticut. Each plant has one or two small canoe-shaped leaves that are spotted, like the belly of a trout. Younger plants have just one leaf and do not bloom. Mature leaves bloom now, or even earlier, with yellow lily-like blossoms with the petals and sepals bent backwards. The flowers stems grow about 6 inches tall. Three years ago I bought bulbs for a western form of trout lily that is much more dramatic than our native one. I neglected to label the bulbs other than to say they were Erythronium. Studying examples on the web I see Erythronium grandiflorum as one possibility, or a hybrid called Pagoda. My blossoms are on 12-inch stems, and each plant produces multiple blossoms. Definitely a fine addition to my woodland garden. Trillium is a genus (botanical group) that includes several nice, easy-to-grow wildflowers. The red or purple trillium (Trillium erectum) is also known as wake-robin or stinking Benjamin for its earthy smell. It does well in dappled shade and rich, dark soil. I also grow a white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum) that grows alongside it. The white one turns pink later in the spring. Several other species exist, and are available from nurseries and specialty nurseries online. One of the best sources for all of these wildflowers is The Garden in the Woods in Framingham, Massachusetts. The Garden in the Woods is a garden, education center and plant nursery run by The Native Plant Trust, formerly called the New England Wild Flower Society. They sell potted perennial wildflowers, native trees and shrubs and much more. Now is a great time to visit them to see what you might grow in your own woods.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, I recently saw one of your articles on crocks. I have a 30-gallon one that is in good shape. Can you give me a value on this? I am not willing to part with it at this time but would be curious as to a value. Richard for Goffstown Dear Richard, I wouldn’t want to part with it either. I too have one that we currently use in our home for trash. We love it and get many comments on it. Your crock, if in good condition with no damage (meaning cracks or chips), is a good one. You don’t often find the larger size ones, and if you do they are usually damaged. These were used for several things back in the day, like for sauerkraut, pickling and lard. They are heavy, so you can see how they got damaged. Crocks came in many different sizes from 1/2 gallon to over 50 gallons. I think the largest one I have seen was a 40-gallon, but I have seen maybe a half a dozen 30-gallons in my career, so they really aren’t that common either. I have never seen a 30 with the original cover. The 30-gallon utility home crock is usually in the price range of $150 plus, so your crock is a good one and I hope

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Mechanic’s overblown advice is 50 years too late

Dear Car Talk: I own a 2013 Chevy Sonic with a turbo engine. I love the car and it gets great gas mileage. I don’t drive like a grandma, but I tend to drive a little on By Ray Magliozzi the easy side in order to maximize my gas mileage. I get in the upper 30s to lower 40s mpg. My buddy, who is a mechanic, says that I drive my car too gently. He says driving the way I do does not let the engine get hot enough, and I need to periodically “put the pedal to the metal” in order to “blow out the carbon.” He says this is especially true with a turbo engine, as you need to “make the turbo howl” every once in a while. I know that taking too many short trips can cause problems with the engine not getting hot enough, but most of my trips are in the 15- to 20-mile range. My buddy specializes in hot rod cars from the 1970s and ‘80s, so I think that is affecting his thinking about today’s cars. Is my buddy right? Or are things different now? — Ed Your buddy has his headlight firmly implanted in his taillight socket, Ed. Put

your fingers in your ears the next time he starts talking to you. There is no carbon in engines anymore. Computer controlled engines, like yours, run so efficiently that they really leave no deposits at all to “blow out.” The goal of modern engine management is to protect the catalytic converter, minimize emissions and maximize fuel economy. To do that, the engine must burn the fuel as completely as possible, which leaves nothing behind. We almost never see carbon deposits in engines anymore. If we did, they couldn’t be “blown out” by driving hard anyway. As for the turbo, “turbo howl” is something that costs about $1,500 to $2,000 to fix in our shop. That’s nonsense, too. The more gently you drive, the longer your engine and turbo will last. Period. So yes, I think your buddy is still living in the 1960s and ’70s. And I think he may have been exposed to too much leaded gasoline and exhaust fumes over the years. Set him straight about modern engines the next time you see him, Ed, and keep doing exactly what you’re doing. Dear Car Talk: I live in Australia and drive a 2000 Holden Commodore Executive VX. The car is in

great condition for its age, but lately I’ve been having an issue with the turn signals. When I first start my car for the day, the turn signals work fine. However, once I drive to work and park the car, the next time I start it up, the turn signals don’t work at all. It takes about 10 minutes of continuous driving for the turn signals to start working again. What could be the issue? I’m reluctant to take it to the mechanic. I don’t want to fork out a lot of money if it’s something I could fix myself. Any advice on what to do would be awesome. Cheers from down under. — Jarrod Well, I’ve seen exactly zero Holden Commodores in the shop in the past 30 or 40 years. Looking it up online, I see it’s a run-of-the-mill, turn-of-the-century GM sedan. The equivalent of an old Chevy Lumina or Oldsmobile Calais. So first, you have my deepest condolences. It could be something really inexpensive, Jarrod. If you’re lucky, it could be the turn signal flasher. The flasher is a little $5 or $10 square or cylindrical thing that plugs in under the dash, and it’s responsible for making the turn signals do what? Flash! So, it’s worth taking a trip to your local

auto parts store and asking them for a flasher for a 2000 Holden Commodore. Presumably, you’ll get a less confused reaction from them than you did from me. Then, either ask them to show you where it’s located with their parts locator chart, or go home and get under the dashboard with a flashlight and look for a part that looks exactly like the one you just bought. When you find it, unplug it and plug in the new one. If that fixes the problem, I imagine you’ll be the happiest guy in all of Australia. If that doesn’t fix it, you can return the flasher and get your five bucks back. Then take that money, add a chunk of your last paycheck to it, and drive the car to your mechanic. If it’s not the flasher, then it’s probably the multifunction switch on the steering column. On a car that’s going on 20 years old, you can only imagine how many times that turn signal switch has been turned on and off. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if that’s what you need. Here in the states, a new multifunction switch will cost you somewhere north of 100 bucks. Or as they say in Australia, somewhere north of 100 bucks. Visit Cartalk.com.

FOOD Market mania

Visit a local farmers market this summer By Matt Ingersoll

News from the local food scene

mingersoll@hippopress.com

By Matt Ingersoll

Summer farmers markets are getting underway across southern New Hampshire, with many opportunities for you to get fresh vegetables and fruits, artisan breads, meats, condiments and, for the first time at a couple of local markets, fresh fish from New England Fishmongers. A few markets in the state held their first date of the season earlier this month, while others are due to kick off within the next several weeks. Most of the summer markets will run through September and into early to mid-October, weather permitting. The Derry Homegrown Farm & Artisan Market, for example, will be held every Wednesday from 3 to 7 p.m., beginning June 5 and running through September. Market manager Neil Wetherbee said this year’s vendors encompass a variety of local businesses, like farms, small gourmet food producers and breweries. “In [creating] our list of vendors, we really wanted to allow people … the opportunity to construct everything that they would need for a full meal and to give them a variety, so that they can go home and put everything together,” Wetherbee said. He added that New England Fishmongers, a first-time vendor at the market, will be offering fresh seafood. New England Fishmongers is also a newcomer at the Bedford Farmers Market this year, according to market President Karen Steuer. That market kicks off on June 18 and will be held every Tuesday, from 3 to 6 p.m., through Oct. 8. “We didn’t have fresh fish at the market last year, so we are ecstatic to have it this time around,” Steuer said. “The fish will be based on what the fishermen are catching, so it will be kind of fun to experiment and see what kind of fish we will have.” For produce, Wetherbee said the earlier dates of the markets are when you are more likely to see broccoli, carrots, lettuces and garlic scapes, while tomatoes and cucumbers will become available during their peak picking seasons later on in the year. Steuer said that while it’s possible that the recent cold and rainy weather may have an effect on early spring crops like peas and spinach, she expects items like strawberries and blueberries to be ready on time. “The summer crops are being planted either right now or within a few weeks,” she said. “It only takes a couple of warm, sunny days to get those plants going.” Most of the markets will also feature fresh eggs, cheeses, meats and artisan breads. Some even have a regular schedule of live music, cooking demonstrations or beer, wine and mead tastings.

From the remote Shan mountains of northeastern Myanmar more than 5,000 feet above sea level, the country’s national food is now available organically for the first time in the United States — and it’s part of a recipe that’s hand-mixed and jarred right here in New Hampshire. It’s called laphet so, which translates to “edible tea” from the Burmese language, according to Michael Guarino of Hudson. He and his wife, Billie Thoidingjam, recently launched Cultured Tea Leaf, a small business that offers various flavors of the tea leaves available in 8-ounce jars. “We say to people that it’s fermented edible green leaves, and they say, ‘Wait, you can eat it?’ and we say, ‘Yes, you can,’” Guarino said. “Laphet so is very unique to Myanmar. It’s the only place in the world where they ferment tea as such.” Guarino said the tea leaves themselves come from 50- to 100-year-old trees grown in the Burmese township of Namhsan, a mountainous region near the Chinese border, where they are endemic and are fermented between six and 12 months. When they receive the shipments, he and Thoidingjam wash and mix them by hand at Creative Chef Kitchens in Derry, producing three distinct flavors with more on the way soon — there is an original with garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt and spices that is the base for all three; a ginger flavor; and a spicy flavor with dried red chile. According to Guarino, it’s the first and only USDA-certified organic laphet so, meaning all of the ingredients are free of any pesticides or artificial preservatives or additives. The jar, he said, can be refrigerated for up to a year after you open it. “It has antioxidants just like regular green tea, and it’s got caffeine in it,” he said. “The astringency that you taste when you eat it is the

same as the bitterness of the tannins in wine. … Traditionally, if you go to a Burmese restaurant in the United States, you’ll see the tea leaves in a rice salad, or they blend it almost like a pesto so that it’s kind of like a dressing.” On May 11, Cultured Tea Leaf was a featured vendor at the Boston Night Market, serving green tea rice bowls that used the laphet so, with Thoidingjam’s homemade Indian red tomato curry added to it as well. Guarino said they are in talks to appear at local events in the future, too — including at the American Independence Festival in Exeter in July and at the Concord Multicultural Festival in September. Guarino said the consumption of laphet so is traced back to at least 1100 A.D. “The Palaung tribe have been cultivating tea for a good thousand years,” he said, “and according to Burmese legend, when the kings would make peace with other rival kingdoms, they would present the tea leaf in a type of platter as a symbol of a peace offering.” He said he and Thoidingham, who also have a small brand of imported Hawaiian tea, discovered laphet so and its potential versatility around three years ago while living in Myanmar. Thoidingjam herself is a native of Manipur, India, near the Burmese border. While all three jars are available to purchase online through the website and through Amazon, you’ll soon be able to find it for sale in a few local stores, and used in some creative dishes at restaurants, like Fuki in Portsmouth. “We don’t necessarily want to try to change the usage of laphet so. We’re just being practical about it in showing people what we already have here,” Guarino said. “So tortilla chips, for example, go surprisingly well with it. We tried putting it on pizza, and that was really good … and we’ll definitely be doing more of the rice bowls at an upcoming festival.” Cultured Tea Leaf Cost: $25 per 8-ounce jar Contact: Visit culturedtealeaf.com or email experience@liberatedstate.com

WITH MATT GALAMBOS

Matt Galambos of Merrimack is the owner of Stone & Fire (stoneandfirepizza.com), a mobile catering company specializing in wood-fired pizzas that is entering its third year in business. With two wood-fired ovens imported from Italy and France, about 90 percent of Stone & Fire’s business, according to Galambos, is private events such as birthday parties, backyard cookouts, weddings and family reunions. Galambos developed several specialty pizza recipes — his signature pies include rosemary apricot with mozzarella and Gorgonzola, and spinach chorizo with mozzarella and diced garlic — but he’ll make whatever pizza toppings you want for your event. Catering packages include your choice of four different pizzas, which Galambos will prepare and cook right in front of you during your event. Stone & Fire also vends at Able Ebenezer Brewing Co. (31 Columbia Circle, Merrimack) a few times a month. What is your favorite type of pizza you have ever cooked? It was probably the first time we ever put together the rosemary apricot pizza. We wanted to have some unique combinations that gave us our own unique spin on things, and [we tried] a lot of recipes that didn’t work out before taste testing this one with a group of friends. I just remember the look on everyone’s face when What would you have for your last meal? I think it would be a pot roast and probably a they tried it. You’re bound to have some failglass of milk. That’s my favorite meal that my ures along the way, but when you nail it, it’s a good moment. mom used to make. What is your must-have kitchen item? Well, obviously beyond the wood-fired ovens, it’s just having the right attitude. It’s a very challenging environment to work in because pizzas can go from perfectly cooked to burned in five seconds, so you need to have a positive attitude and just have fun with it.

So, what did they taste like? 1. The ones with milk were probably my favorite. They were that delicious yellow cake flavor but were a tad richer than usual. 2. The butter ones tasted quite good. Frankly, really buttery. It took away from the classic yellow taste but to be honest, they were still quite delicious! 3. The ones with mayonnaise were my least favorite. There was an aftertaste that was, dare I say, mayonnaise-ey? The biggest thing I insist on for baking with cake mixes is making your own frosting. It’s easy, doesn’t take a lot of time and makes a world of difference. I used Sally’s Baking Addiction’s classic chocolate buttercream frosting. I barely measure the ingredients, kind of wing it, and it always turns out amazing! Going the extra mile with this one thing is, after this experiment, the make-or-break hack. So while you might choose to add milk instead of water next time, don’t go for the store-bought icing. — Allison Willson Dudas

Here’s what I learned about how each affected the baking: 1. Subbing milk for water made the cupcakes puff up a lot! The cupcakes were fluffy and airy, but still tight enough to maintain their shape. 2. Using butter made a really dense cupcake, almost looked like a corn muffin. Very dense and they needed less time to bake than the others. I overbaked these a little. 3.

Sometimes, you just can’t bake from scratch. Whether there are too many kids in the class to make homemade cupcakes or you just don’t have time, there are a few hacks I’ve found to help elevate your run-ofthe-mill boxed cake mix. This week, I’m working with yellow cake mix. Yellow cake is different than white or vanilla cake. Since it requires both the egg whites and yolks and because it uses strictly butter rather than shortening (or a combo), the resulting hue is yellow. Plus, it’s a richer, more flavorful cake in my opinion. If you search “boxed cake mix hacks,” you will find several ideas from various bloggers. I wanted to see which ones actually tasted good, so I tested out a few things on a box I had in my cupboard. I divided the cake mix into three bowls and went to town. The box I had called for three eggs, ½ cup of oil and 1 cup water.

Listen, I know you’ve spent the last few weeks complaining about the raw, almost wintry weather that gripped the region. I know you’ve made small talk by saying things like, “Oh my goodness, I can’t believe the heat is still coming on. It’s the middle of May.” And then you shook your head and chuckled before saying “We’ll all be complaining about the heat in a few weeks.” You know you’re guilty. I’m guilty. But we can move on together. Luckily, Memorial Day weekend is upon us. Memorial Day obviously has a tremendous significance, but the reality is that Memorial Day weekend also represents the unofficial kickoff to summer. I think we can embrace both realities. Many, many people will take part in cookouts over this long holiday weekend, and I’m here to say that you need to take beer etiquette seriously as you approach get-togethers. Look, I know you know how to navigate a cookout, but because of, yes, the weather, it’s been a while, and you’re probably a little rusty. Here are a few tips to get you back on track.

That’s obvious, right, because you’re an adult. However, when I say bring beer to share, I mean I don’t want to see you off to the side pouring some secret, ostensibly marvelous craft beer for a couple select, “special” friends. If you’re bringing beer, you can put it in the cooler just like everyone else. And if you don’t want some “unworthy” guest drinking your Heady Topper, don’t bring it. You can hand special beers to your special friends as gifts before or after the get-together. This approach prevents beer jealousy.

to consider all guests. Look at you, being thoughtful. Further, a number of craft beer stores, including Bert’s Better Beers in Hooksett, let you mix and match brews on your own. Do it.

Light is good

For a daytime cookout in particular, I do try to err on the side of lighter beer. That’s not a hard and fast rule, but especially on a hot day, a little lighter brew is going to be a more pleasing choice.

OK, you can bring special beer

I am not saying you can’t bring a fourpack from Tree House Brewing Co. to a cookout. You definitely can, and if you do, make it known. Ask people if they want to try it. Some people might think you’re showing off. Maybe you are. But most people will get that you’re just trying to expose them to a hard-to-find, extra-awesome beer. You’d rather be overeager in your sharing than be off to the side whispering with two other people about hop strains.

Be responsible

The tragic accidental death of Cranberries’ singer Dolores O’Riordan in 2018 hit a lot of Gen X kids hard. For all intents and purposes, she was the marquee name on that year’s “gone to jam in heaven” roster, following 2017, which had taken such names as Tom Petty, Greg Allman and many other A-list shockers. The Irish band was cool enough to wait 16 months on this release, recruiting former backup singer Johanna Cranitch to polish off whatever needed to be done on this 11-songer before releasing it and retiring the name. Album opener “All Over Now” proves that they did have some mileage left in them; the familiar angst-dripping grunge is intensified by 1980s-era Cure guitar layers and an unusually light-hearted effort from O’Riordan, which softens the whole effect. “Lost” is the ballad, a very sad little thing that belies the attestation from the Irish Times writer who pronounced the album “infinitely uplifting.” Sort of fits what the band was always about, but it does give one pause.

I know there has to be a few prog-metal heads still around these days, fans who’d like to hear something with a nu-metal sound that’s a bit more complicated than System of a Down, less geeky than Mars Volta, maybe with some nice sludge to wash it down. Good luck with that, because you won’t get that from this Oregon band, the leader of which (singer Erik Olson) has traveled to over 100 countries and spent a lot of downtime listening to Pink Floyd and Queen in an effort to pull in some influences in order to make his stuff interesting. The result, this concept album centered about “who we are exactly” is anything but. Billed as an amalgam of sludge, progressive and thrash, it’s simply a sloppy Frankensteinian patchwork, some Bury Your Dead here, some epic symphonics there, government-issue thrash, emo, really everything but the kitchen sink. No buildups, just outbursts of genre gruel, a few oddly placed hooks among mounds of filler. Nothing of note here. C — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • We’re staring down the barrel of the May 24 CD release date, there’s no getting around it, and believe me I’ve tried. We’ll start with Scottish lo-fi garage duo Honeyblood, whose new In Plain Sight album is on the way! If you’re like, cool and stuff, you were into their 2016 single “Ready for the Magic,” a jagged, no-wave-ish, messy tune that sounded like the Go-Go’s trying to be mean. There’s always been a kind of beach vibe about this band — and what else is there in Scotland, aside from haggis beaches or whatnot — and so the new single, “The Third Degree,” is like a grungy garage version of Sheryl Crow’s “Soak Up The Sun,” and that works for me pretty much, sort of like a riot grrrl thing but with suntan lotion. Setup-wise, they’re like a twogirl White Stripes, with one on drums and the other playing the part of Jack White, except with a Belinda Carlisle voice. Critics and music nerds with YouTube channels will be keeping a close eye on these two, because they’re girls, and critics and nerds don’t actually know what those are or what one is supposed to do with them. • Our old ska-New Waver friend Sting is at it again, with a new record called My Songs, so named because he wanted to make sure that there’d be no confusion whatsoever as to who was responsible for this (flash prediction) rote examples of dishwasher-safe Paul Simonpop. Hey man, no, I’m glad he Does Things For Humanity and all that stuff, but we learned long ago that corporate rock ’n’ roll by definition cannot change any system whatsoever, so, ah shaddap Sting, and besides, who ever asked him to try adding Arabic “touches” to infinitely tedious jazz-pop that only Rolling Stone would pretend to like (see, we used to argue about this stuff years ago on the internet, before it became a virtual version of Idiocracy)? Oh, whatever, let’s just get this horror over with, what have we here for a single … ha, the first YouTube thing that comes up is some balding Gen X dude talking about how pointless this record is! He tells me it’s comprised of “modernized versions of his classic hits,” which, yes, is pointless. Balding Gen Xer says there’s been a trend of old rock stars re-recording old hits, but this one’s particularly pointless, because we fans “don’t want remakes.” I agree in this case. In fact, there’s a rerub of “Brand New Day” on here, a song also known as “The National Anthem of Wine-Drinking Soccer Moms,” and the only difference between it and the original is that he sounds old. The only reason to buy this CD would be to frisbee it down Mount Doom. • Next up is Welsh folk-pop lady Cate Le Bon, with her fifth full-length, Reward. The single, “Daylight Matters,” is some sort of plodding freak-jazz nonsense, the unnecessarily woozy saxophone sample literally sounds like a moose with a hangover, and she, as usual, sounds like your goofy sister trying to karaoke Fiona Apple. I lasted one minute. I challenge you to beat that. • Last on the roll here is skinny person Morrissey, with an album of cover songs titled California Son. This could be OK, huh? Ack, his rub of “It’s Over” sounds exactly like Roy Orbison! No, I’m serious, go listen, you’ll die! — Eric W. Saeger

A voice to be heard

Manchester radio personality discusses his new memoir Brazilian Steakhouse

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

NH’S MOST

Rob Azevedo wears many hats. He hosts Granite State of Mind, a weekly radio show aired on 95.3 WMNH, Manchester’s Downtown Radio Station, that features interviews and live studio performances with local musicians; he has written music-related columns and articles for the Concord Monitor, the Boston Globe and other publications; he has written six short films that were featured at the SNOB Film Festival in Concord; and his list of accomplishments continues to grow with the publication of his debut book, Notes From The Last Breath Farm: A Music Junkie’s Quest to be Heard, put out last month by Plaidswede Publishing in Concord. Azevedo will have a book release party at the Bookery (844 Elm St., Manchester) on Friday, May 24, at 6:30 p.m., but first, he gives Hippo readers a closer look at the memoir. What inspired you to write a memoir? At a young age, my mother used to have a phrase that she would say often — “Who do you think you are?” … And I would answer, ‘nobody,’ and she would say, ‘Damn right you’re nobody, and don’t you forget it.’ Since then, I think there was always this itch that I needed to scratch — to be heard, to be something other than a nobody.

Who is your target audience for the book? I think it’s mainly high school and college-aged kids. I remember when I was in my 20s, I was rejected all the time. I had a thousand different jobs and a new career every two weeks. The only thing that was consistent about my life was my thirst to write and take in the arts. I think there are a lot of people like that out there, who have a calling — musicians, artists, poets, marathon runners — who are on their own quest to be heard.

Do you feel like you’ve achieved that? Being heard? I’m doing the things I’ve always wanted to do — a local radio show, shooting short films, writing columns, and [writing a book], which is an accomplishment I never thought I’d reach, but it happened — and I have an audience. It’s not a huge audience — I’m not No. 1, but I’m not at the bottom either. I’m somewhere in between. But it’s fulfilling enough that I feel like I’ve fulfilled my goal of being What would you like readers to take away heard. from the book?

Americans like to see rich and powerful people go at it. From the Ewings and the Barneses to the Starks and the Lannisters, there’s something primal and satisfying about seeing privileged people reduced to hissing and clawing at each other like cats. This sort of drama is unfolding right now in Silicon Valley, though a little more politely than on television shows. A handful of Cassandras, including a former Google ethicist and a prolific investor in technology, have formed a chorus warning that unchecked technology poses a real and present threat to our cherished institutions and values. They include Tristan Harris, a former Google ethicist and co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, and Roger McNamee, a prominent investor and former adviser to Facebook, who in Zucked, Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe thrusts a savage knife into Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and other titans of tech. Zucked is a manifesto of harms inflicted on the world by a hoodie-wearing man-child who insists that all he wants to do is connect us and bring us together (words hilariously mocked on an internet bingo card circulating when Zuckerberg was testifying before Congress). Zucked looks like a book, and it reads like a book, but it feels more like revenge. McNamee believes that Google, Facebook, Twitter and other platforms are unraveling the fabric of democracy, undermining relationships and exploiting human weaknesses for profit. But what he’s really mad about, it seems, is that Mark Zuckerberg dissed him three years ago. It’s a story that McNamee tells early in the book: how he came to suspect that “bad actors” were legally using Facebook for nefarious purposes, how he composed first an article, then a memo, detailing his worries. This was in October 2016, three weeks before America woke up to the coming reality of President Donald Trump. “Russia” and “collusion” had not yet become popular search terms. But McNamee was worried enough that he sent a memo outlining his concerns to his old friend “Zuck” and Sheryl Sandberg, the company’s CEO. Both responded politely within hours to the man who was a longtime investor and adviser, a man whose circle at Elevation Partners includes U2 frontman Bono. And then — pretty much nothing. Zuckerberg and Sandberg delegated the management of McNamee to a lesser Facebook executive, whose job was apparently to placate. The publication of Zucked is evidence that he failed. The book is McNamee muttering “Dracarys.” This is not to diminish the importance of the points he makes. Google and Facebook, McNamee believes, “have exported America’s twin vices of self-centered consumerism and civic disengagement to a world ill-equipped to

handle them.” Google’s speed has convinced Americans that they are authorities on everything, even though we’re all “three degrees of Alex Jones” because both our news feeds and search results are tailored to the dossiers that these monolithic companies have compiled on us. (Fun fact: If you have $75,000 to spare, you can legally obtain a list of 200 million voting-age Americans with 1,500 “data points” about each person, McNamee says. Most of us would be hard pressed to compile 150 data points about our mothers.) Facebook, McNamee writes, has created a world where facts are not absolutes but choices, because of the so-called “filter bubbles” that protect us from opposing views on the internet. Algorithms maximize profit for tech companies when they maximize our attention, leading tech companies to use the same kind of tricks that make slot machines addictive, training us, like rats, to push a lever repeatedly in frenzied pursuit of variable rewards. The algorithms are most successful when they evoke lizard-brain emotions such as anger or fear. “Not everyone who is online is addicted. Not everyone has been manipulated,” McNamee admits. But everyone is affected when others are, he argues. “No one can escape the consequences of these addictions and manipulations, as they affect enough people to undermine even the most successful countries,” he writes. So what to do, since even people with access to Mark Zuckerberg can’t seem to make a difference? McNamee, Harris and others believe that the biggest tech companies should be regulated, that the U.S. should have a bureau of technology akin to the Food and Drug Administration. Google and Facebook should be broken up, they say, and their acquisitions and data sharing restricted. And both Harris and McNamee advocated for the design of “humane technology” that, instead of exploiting human weaknesses, enhances our wellbeing. (Some research has shown that people are happier only for the first 10 minutes they’re on a social platform; after that, our sense of well-being diminishes.) You can also tell big tech to zuck off by doing as McNamee has done: erasing your Facebook history and refraining from posting or reacting to political posts. “It took six months, but my news feed is now dominated by the music side of my life [he’s in a band], birthdays, and puppies,” he writes. McNamee also uses DuckDuckGo instead of Google for searches, and uses a tracking blocker called Ghostery. “I am far from invisible on the web, but my shadow is smaller,” he said. He’s still on Facebook, but doesn’t say if Zuckerberg is still a friend. Zucked wants to be important, and its ideas are, but its presentation makes this a book that could have benefited from a ghostwriter. C — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum (R)

The Sun Is Also a Star (PG-13)

I basically enjoyed the first John Wick back in 2014 and only recently skimmed the 2017 sequel, which seemed to take that movie and really double down on the “sexy vampire” vibe of the weird gothic world of this movie. Here, we get even more of the assassins-for-hire secret empire within our modern world that includes the hotel The Continental run by Winston (Ian McShane), some ruling body called the High Table, the army disguised as street-dwellers run by a character IMDB calls the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne) and the Natasha Romanoff Academy of Ballerinas and Henchmen run by Anjelica Huston as a Russian-y crime-lord type that IMDB calls The Director. John Wick, labeled “excommunicado” in the last movie (I giggled just typing that), has to run from and fight the many assassins looking to cash in on the bounty put on his head. He also has some kind of plan to remove this death sentence that involves finding a High Table elder (I mean, how is this not about vampires), to which end he requires the help of Casablanca Continental boss Sofia (Halle Berry), an old, I don’t know, friend seems too strong a word. A person who knew him and owes him a favor and is a stone-cold bad-ass. Sofia is that. Oh, and John Wick also has a dog still. This movie is very pro dog. After the Met Gala earlier this month (the theme: camp), the internet spent some time arguing about the nature of camp (or arguing about the argument about what camp is). I won’t claim to know definitively what is and isn’t camp, but if you can argue that it falls into the “I know it when I see it” category, then let me suggest John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum is camp. A lot of camp. It is Camp Camp, A Sum-

Natasha Kingsley (Yara Shahidi) is supposed to be packing up her belongings to move from New York City to Jamaica. Her family is being deported but Natasha, who loves the city and has spent nine years of her life in the U.S., is unwilling to give up. Natasha, a high school junior, leaves the house to head for a meeting with an immigration official, hoping her family’s case can be revisited. When that doesn’t work, she follows the sympathetic agent’s advice to go to an attorney, Mr. Martinez (John Leguizamo), who might be able to put a halt to proceedings. Meanwhile, Daniel Bae (Charles Melton), a senior, is headed to an alumni interview for Dartmouth, his acceptance to which is his parents’ dream. As part of the first generation of his family born in America, Daniel is trying to live up to his parents’ plans for him to become a doctor. Daniel would prefer to be a poet, but he (however reluctantly) tries to meet their goals, perhaps in part because his older brother, Charlie (Jake Choi), has made such a big deal of not conforming to expectations. Daniel and Natasha have a chance encounter (after Daniel first sees her during a previous chance encounter) and, because they both have some time before their respective meetings, Natasha agrees to spend some time with him. Specifically, because they are both attractive teenagers, the sensible, science-minded Natasha agrees to let the poetry-writing Daniel prove the existence of love by giving him first an hour and later more to get her to fall in love with him. Heightened emotions plus limited life agency is the recipe that makes starcrossed teen romances work without the story getting bogged down by a lot of plot gymnastics for why two people can’t be together. I think this ability to present a

Keanu Reeves suits up for more balletic fighting and killing and exaggerated courtly manners in John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum, a weaponry and leather soft-serve swirl topped with gold leaf that is so dumb it’s maybe kind of genius.

Two teens meet and fall in love on the last day they will live in the same country in The Sun Is Also a Star, a sweet teen romance based on a book by Nicola Yoon.

John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum

mer Camp for Latin, Guns and Tailoring. I mean, “Parabellum,” for camp’s sake. It is Game of Thrones but with Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne and Anjelica Huston instead of the dragons. Or, heck, maybe as the dragons. People in this universe mint their own gold coins and literally bend the knee. The dedication of the actors to not wink at the camera while the movie itself seems to be winking at the camera always is glorious. The John Wick world is ridiculous and delightful; it is your finest $13.99 rosé served in a golden goblet. Halle Berry will be 53 in August and is, as they say, living her best life. I’m not sure how, from this place in my life, I could get to 53 and have my day job be wearing leather pants and laying waste to countless henchmen but, like, show me the brochure for that continuing education class because I will sign up today. Other marvelous things about this movie: every scene with Lance Reddick as the New York Continental’s concierge. Asia Kate Dillon as the Adjudicator. A scene where Ian McShane hangs up on Asia Kate Dillon. While both were talking on what I’m pretty sure were rotary phones. Anjelica Huston’s accent. The obvious amount of fun everybody is having in this movie. Everything to do with Laurence Fishburne and pigeons.

The complete lack of plot seriousness. The movie’s obvious delight at choreographing fight scenes. Oh, and let me not forget Mark Dacascos, playing a character called Zero, apparently (other than “John Wick,” whose name is part of the language of this movie, the movie is very laissez faire in the area of having us know or remember anybody else’s name). Dacascos is probably best known (at least to me and hungry people like me) as the Chairman, i.e. the guy saying “battle … squid!” on Iron Chef: America. He is excellent here, both as a precision martial artist and as the ultimate John Wick fanboy. What does John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum have to say about the way we all exist in the world today and our current political and societal ills? Nothing! I’m pretty sure absolutely nothing! So buy as much popcorn as your heart desires, throw your critical thinking skills to the wind and enjoy! B Rated R for pervasive strong violence and some language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Chad Stahelski with a screenplay by Derek Kolstad and Shay Hatten and Chris Collins & Marc Abrams, John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum is two hours and 10 minutes long and distributed by Summit Entertainment.

streamlined plot is what makes this kind of story appealing beyond its age group. Tell this story about two adults and there’s a bunch of stuff you’d have to add to it to make it believable even in a romanceworld belief-suspended way, which doesn’t mean it automatically wouldn’t work, just that it would take more finesse. If you want to add blueberries, caramel and mousse to your cake, you can and it can be delicious but it’s not as easy to construct well as a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. And the vanilla cake and frosting of this movie are simple enough that you can enjoy both the flavor of the main dish (yes, everyone is too talky and self-assured for their age but that is kind of how these things have to go) and the presenta-

tion which in this case is the sunny, pretty shots of a golden New York City and the loveliness of the soundtrack. The Sun Is Also a Star might be lacking some heft and hiding that fact behind the pretty urban scenery but that complaint feels kind of on the “why didn’t they make this puppy cuter” level. Though lightweight, the movie is sweet modern fairy tale that performs just fine if a sweet modern fairy tale is what you want. BRated PG-13 for some suggestive content and language. Directed by Ry Russo-Young with a screenplay by Tracy Oliver (from a book by Nicola Yoon), The Sun Is Also a Star is an hour and 40 minutes long and is distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.

Some bands are perfect in a certain type of venue. For Peabody’s Coal Train, that’s a country store with a wooden floor and rustic charm. Often, it’s an uncanny match; as the acoustic septet is playing murder ballads and Townes Van Zandt covers at an upcoming show at Robie’s in Hoooksett, patrons will find craft mustard handmade by their banjo player for sale on the shelves. The group’s name comes from a line in John Prine’s song, “Paradise,” while its personnel represents a merger of two local roots bands. Harmonica player Dave Anderson, guitarist Jason Teaster and multi-instrumentalist Dave Carroll were in The Othern’s, now on hiatus. Dobro player Scott Hayes, banjo man and mustard maker Steve Cybulski and mandolin player Larry Houghton play with the still active Tyler Road. “We’re a Contoocook Valley supergroup,” Teaster said with a laugh as the group set up in the corner of a local cidery for an afternoon set recently. Teaster serves as the band’s leader, spokesperson and conveyor of wisdom, like the correct pronunciation of Appalachia — “it sounds like someone threw an apple atcha.” Teaster is a Virginia native who “fell in love with a New Hampshire girl and moved north.” Coincidentally, another group member hails from the same area, though they never crossed paths down there. “Larry lived in Blacksburg and he played with a great band called The Jugbusters,” Teaster said. “I saw them, but I didn’t know him.” He and Anderson have played together for years, briefly in a band called Buffalo Plaid — “Our reputation was bigger than our talent,” Teaster laughed — followed by the “kickass country rock band” that occasionally included Lunch at the Dump steel guitar player Pete Leavenworth. The Othern’s fell apart when

“life got in the way of music,” and paved a path to the current group, now together a year and a half. It’s a fortuitous thing, as Peabody’s Coal Train has obvious chemistry — six voices in harmony, exhibiting deft instrumental interplay and, above all, the joy of making music. “We’re kindred spirits; we have so much fun together,” Teaster said. “There’s no pretension and no big egos. We’re a country folk band with Americana twang.” The band’s roots were showing from their first notes at Contoocook Cider Company, as they sound checked with the old traditional, “I’ll Fly Away,” then married vintage bluegrass with new country on the set opener “Carrie Brown,” a song penned by Steve Earle during his stint with the Del McCoury Band in the late 1990s. Contemporary songs by Old Crow Medicine Show (“Alabama High Test”) and Bruce Springsteen (“I’m On Fire”) were also reworked to lovely effect, but an original proved to be a highlight. “Let Me Lie, Let Me Loose” was written by Carroll, a veteran of the regional scene dating back to his days with the Freeks, a Henniker-based rock, funk and country band. The majestic ballad featured gorgeously layered vocals from most of the band, and was a fitting rival to any of the songs

they covered. Other selections frequently appearing in the band’s sets include Merle Haggard’s “Mama Tried,” Townes Van Zandt’s sublime “Lorettta” and “Mama Bake A Pie (Daddy Kill A Chicken)” — the latter a Tom T. Hall song done by Anderson and Teaster favorites DriveBy Truckers. They jokingly refer to themselves as PCT’s Dimmer Twins, a reference to a nickname given to DBT’s Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley. A busy season ahead includes two appearances at Henniker’s Community Market (May 30 and Sept. 5), and another set at Robie’s Roots Cafe on May 24. “We were there in mid-March,” Teaster said. “We’re trying to promote a listening audience, since we’re playing acoustic again, no amplification. The last time, the night waxed and waned until the end of the second set, when people just locked in on what we were doing. With our vocals and instrumentation, we really like people to come and listen.”

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Recurring theme

In April, News of the Weird reported that sweat bees were found to be living in the eye of a woman in Taiwan. Now, United Press International reports doctors at a hospital in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, China, found a small spider building a nest inside a man’s ear. The man, identified only as Li, arrived at the hospital complaining of discomfort in his ear. Doctors said the spider was too small and fast to be caught with tools, but they were able to flush it out using water.

Chutzpah!

Ricci Barnett, 41, refused to stop when a police officer tried to pull her over for driving the wrong way down a one-way street in Las Cruces, New Mexico, on April 21. The Associated Press reported that when she paused at a red light, the officer showed her his badge, to which she replied, “I don’t think so” and drove away. Barnett was eventually apprehended and charged with aggravated fleeing from a law enforcement officer and reckless driving.

Crime report

A 25-year-old man from Kapaa, Hawaii, will likely spend seven years in prison after going on a drug-fueled rampage in his former boss’s home in December. Forrest Broyles pleaded no contest on May 7 to charges that he broke into the home to claim his fair share of fish the two men had caught together. Broyles told Kauai police he was using the hallucinogenic concoction ayahuasca when he used a machete to break the glass front door of the home, reported The Garden Island. He threatened the boss and his wife, saying he “was going to kill him and chop him up,” then attacked the house instead, hitting a television, breaking windows, a sliding glass door, kitchen cabinets, the stove and microwave and a canoe paddle, among other items, amounting to about $3,000 in damages. “That is what the whole incident was about,” Broyles told a detective at the scene. “He owes me choke ahi.” Broyles was on probation at the time (for allegedly threatening two people with scissors); he is scheduled for sentencing in August.

• Hugo the dog is a frequent boarder at Happy Tails Pet Hotel and Playland in St. Ann, Missouri. In early May, according to KTVI, Hugo proved how much he loves his pals at the doggy day care: He ran away from home, navigated a busy street and covered more than a mile to get to Happy Tails, where he ran inside to greet his canine friends. • Baby’s First Shoes: When Olivia the giraffe gave birth to her son on May 2 at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, zookeepers

noticed his rear feet were not in normal alignment, a condition called hyperextended fetlocks. So the 170-pound baby, as yet unnamed, was fitted with casts to correct the problem, and along with them, his own custom-made pair of therapeutic shoes made of plywood and polyethylene. “I’m hopeful they will help him walk better,” zoo veterinarian Dr. Tim Storms told KIRO. He expects the treatment will continue over several months.

Rules are rules

Keith Cutler, senior circuit judge of Winchester and Salisbury in England, had what would seem to be an airtight reason for avoiding jury duty in April: He was scheduled to be the presiding judge for the case. Even so, when Cutler contacted the jury summoning bureau to say, “I would be inappropriate, seeing I happened to be the judge and knew all the papers,” the bureau refused to excuse him, suggesting he could “apply to the resident judge.” Cutler eventually had to call to explain that he is the resident judge, reported The Guardian. He noted that he would have been happy to serve under other circumstances: “I would have liked to have done the jury service to see what it was like and whether I would have liked the judge,” he said.

Government in action

New Zealand’s House Speaker, Trevor Mallard, ejected National Leader Simon Bridges from the chamber on May 7, claiming that Bridges’ conduct was inappropriate during Question Time. “The member earlier made a barnyard noise

of the sort that would not be accepted in a junior classroom,” Mallard said. But Bridges objected, saying, “I made no such noise and it is entirely unfair for you as a speaker to say that sort of unprofessional comment.” The New Zealand Herald reported that Bridges later said Mallard’s comments made him feel like a “naughty boy”; later inspection of video from the session revealed that Bridges had made a loud sound of disapproval after an answer given by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

Florida

A police officer in Haines City, Florida, was inside a local business on May 4 when he heard “a loud noise” outside. In the parking lot, he found Gary Wayne Anderson, 68, had just crashed his riding lawnmower (with a trailer carrying a red cooler) into the officer’s cruiser, reported the Miami Herald. “I’m drunk,” Anderson told officers, according to an arrest affidavit. “Take me to jail.” He was so intoxicated, police said, that he failed a field sobriety test and “almost fell to the ground multiple times.” At the police station, Anderson accused police of poisoning him and requested that he be taken to a hospital, where test results found his blood-alcohol content to be three times Florida’s legal limit. Anderson has two prior DUI convictions and has not had a valid driver’s license since 1978. “It’s never a good idea to get behind the wheel drunk,” noted police Chief Jim Elensky, “even if that wheel is to a Craftsman, Massey Ferguson or John Deere.” Visit newsoftheweird.com.
