HIPPO | JULY 11 - 17, 2019 | PAGE 2

Every four years the world’s media descends on New Hampshire to watch as Granite Staters lead America in deciding who the next president will be. Unfortunately every four years New Hampshire also wastes its biggest opportunity to define itself and showcase to the world why the Granite State is a great place to stay, work and play.

While the media’s primary job is to cover the candidates, they are often looking for other possible stories that might be of interest to their audiences. It’s quite likely that the primary focus of those “other stories” would be related to the primary but not necessarily. Are there untold New Hampshire stories that, with the proper effort, we could help to highlight? Of course! But largely we just let the chips fall where they may.

I’m suggesting that New Hampshire put in a serious effort to influence how the chips fall with the aim of getting the country and the world to see the New Hampshire that we’d like them to see. I am proposing a gathering of New Hampshire influencers to discuss an effort to market New Hampshire by piggybacking on to the New Hampshire primary.

Anchoring this effort would be a large-scale event just before the primary (scheduled for the week of Feb. 3, 2020) at the SNHU Arena in Manchester. It would be a daylong (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) event with 10,000 high school and college students in attendance to listen to the closing pitches by each candidate on why they deserve to be the next president. This day-long effort can showcase not only the candidates but New Hampshire as well.

If planned properly, the event could be emceed by nationally known folks like Adam Sandler or Seth Meyers. We could showcase Dean Kamen’s ARMI, SNHU, competency-based learning and more.

Additionally, this would be a great opportunity for a civics lesson for the students in attendance. We could create a scorecard for attendees that would give a sense of the audience’s preferences before and after the event in order to see whether and how minds were changed. This in itself would be newsworthy. While the results would be interesting to every media outlet, the fact that New Hampshire conducts such an effort would impress the entire nation and register as another solid talking point on why New Hampshire is the best place to have the first-in-the-nation primary.

NEWS & NOTES

Red tide closures

The rising threat of paralytic shellfish poisoning, commonly known as “red tide,” has prompted state officials to extend the closure of harvesting access to Great Bay and Little Bay until further notice, according to a press release from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. It prohibits people from taking all species of molluscan shellfish, such as clams, mussels and oysters, until further notice. According to the release, red tide is a condition in which these shellfish accumulate a neurotoxin that’s produced by a natural marine algae, one that is potentially fatal if ingested.

New airport AD

Manchester-Boston Regional Airport has hired a new assistant airport director of properties and contract management, according to a press release.

Elguezabal replaces David Bush, who retired from the position after 24 years at the airport. A graduate of Daniel Webster College in Nashua, Elguezabal has more than 20 years of industry experience, including as a former senior operations supervisor at Pease International Airport in Portsmouth.

Thanks to our angler readers for alerting us to the coloring differences between these two fish.

(The website Troutster.com offers side-by-side comparisons of the markings of brook trout and brown trout which can appear similar to the untrained eye.)

COUNTING TURKEYS

The summer turkey brood survey is open, and you can help N.H. Fish & Game gather information on turkey productivity and survival. The survey (wildnh.com/surveys/turkeybrood.html), allows you to submit details on up to three different hen and poult broods. Only information on adult hens and their young will be assessed, so do not enter adult male turkey observations. According to Fish & Game, as the summer proceeds, hens and their young will often gather together in flocks consisting of multiple hens and their young. A “mixed” flock should be entered as a single flock. The survey will close Aug. 31 and the survey data will be summarized at wildnh.com in October.

PELHAM SWIMMERS

A cyanobacteria bloom has been observed on Long Pond in Pelham, according to a press release. Samples collected from the Pelham Town Beach area on July 3 exceeded the state threshold of 70,000 cells per milliliter of cyanobacteria. As a result, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has issued a cyanobacteria advisory for swimmers and fishers of the pond. The advisory is intended as a precautionary measure, as exposure to toxins from the bacteria can cause skin irritation, numbness, tingling, nausea, vomiting and other chronic health effects. It will remain in effect until NHDES confirms that cell concentrations have subsided.

July through October is fair season in New Hampshire, and it all starts, as it has for many years, with the Stratham Fair, happening Thursday, July 18, through Sunday, July 21. Now in its 52nd year, the Stratham Fair is one of the oldest country fairs in New England. You’ll find all the traditional fair fun like farm animals, amusement rides, live entertainment, food and more, but one of the cornerstones of the fair is the agriculture and 4-H events and exhibits. Two long-standing events — the horse pull, held since the inaugural fair, and the oxen pull, held since the second fair — continue to draw large crowds. Tim Slager, one of the fair directors, oversees fair setup, grounds and safety as well as the agriculture and 4-H events and exhibits. He explains why agriculture is a vital part of the Stratham Fair, plus what it takes to make it a success every year.

What kind of agriculture will be at the fair?

We have dairy cows, goats, rabbits, chickens, sheep, cattle, meaning oxen. Some of the 4-H people grow fruits and vegetables — usually whatever is [grown] early in the growing season, like peas, beans, carrots — and they exhibit those for quality and use them in the pie and cooking contests. If you think about it, even the beer in the beer tent would be agricultural because [it’s made with] the hops and grains.

What are some of the agricultural special events?

We have the horse pull, which is like a whole event in itself. Also continuing the farming tradition is the oxen pull, because oxen were used to plow the fields and build shelter for the early pioneers. … There’s a sheep shearing competition. There are all kinds of 4-H animal judging shows. There are some teams that do low-impact logging.

involved with their animals, and they pretty much raise the animals on their own. They have to prepare their animals for the showing — washing them, grooming them, trimming their nails. It also teaches them public speaking skills, because they’ll be there to talk about their animals. … Seeing them grow up over the years is amazing. It’s amazing how they care for their animals and the knowledge that Why is agriculture such a big part of the they have about their animals. fair?

What can the public take away from all Stratham has always been a farming community. If you look at the housing developments this? here, most of them were, at one time, farms, It’s educational and entertaining. If families and I think that has had a big impact on the fair want to take a break, they can sit in on some of being so agricultural. … We’re continuing the the judging shows and learn more about agrihistory and the tradition and not letting it die. culture. If you have a question and don’t get it answered, it’s your fault, because there are What do you and the animal handlers do to more than enough people who will answer prepare for the fair? your questions. … Hopefully, it introduces I set up the camping area and the utilities, people to some of the farms in the area and because they stay there for all four days.

8 NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Scholarships for medical students

The Derry Medical Center Charitable Foundation has given $1,000 scholarships to 15 high school seniors from six area schools who are pursuing careers in medicine-related fields and rank in the top 25 percent of their classes. There were recipients from Pinkerton Academy, Londonderry High School, Windham High School, Salem High School, Bedford High School and Bishop Guertin High School. Dennis Rork, M.D., a physician partner at DMC, handed out the awards to each recipient at a recent awards ceremony. “We are so pleased to recognize this year’s group of outstanding and deeply deserving students,” Rork said in a press release. “We applaud their dedication, compassion and willingness to help others in their chosen health and medical career fields.”

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The DMC has awarded $102,000 in scholarships since 2006. Applications for the scholarship are available every spring at school guidance offices.

Fighting scam calls

There may finally be an end to all those pesky scam robocalls.

Last month in New Hampshire, 12.3 million robocalls were received, according to WMUR. In response to the growing problem, New Hampshire Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan are cosponsoring a federal bill that would require carriers to implement a system in which the sources of calls are verified and customers have a way to block calls and texts. Violators could face up to three years in prison or a $10,000 fine per call.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Assistant Attorney General Brandon Garod advises that people ignore calls from any unknown numbers and let the calls go to voicemail.

Bankruptcy filings down for now

Despite a trend of an increased number of bankruptcy filings in New Hampshire, numbers went down significantly last month, according to NH Business Review. In May there had been a steady 15-percent month-to-month increase, with the monthly average totalling 155 filings, the highest since 2015. However, there were only 140 filings in June, which is still 11 more than June of last year, but it’s 43 fewer — a 23.8-percent decrease — than in May. QOL Score: +1 Comment: Nine of the bankruptcy filings in June were business-related, compared to seven in May.

Problems with sober living homes

Sober living homes in New Hampshire appear to have little government oversight, with some even having buildings that aren’t up to fire code, according to WMUR. Manchester Fire Chief Dan Goonan said in the article that he estimates that if he were to check on all 45 or so sober living homes in Manchester right now, he would have to shut down around half of them. Fire officials fear that if they are too strict on code regulations, there will be an increase in underground facilities that take even fewer fire safety measures. The goal right now is for all sober living homes to have, at the very least, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: About 60 homes have expressed interest in a plan by the New Hampshire Coalition of Recovery Residences to certify sober homes that meet national standards for safety starting in June.

10 SPORTS DAVE LONG’S LONGSHOTS

Shock waves follow NBA earthquake

125285

127695

A few weeks ago I said I would wrap up the NBA’s two big off-season moments – the draft and free agency – into one column so as not to write so much about the NBA in the off-season. But after the crazy events of the last 10 days how can I not make it three NBA columns in a row during the baseball season? All I can say is – sorry, Dick Lombardi.

The climax to as wild and league-changing a free agency period as we’ve ever seen in any sport came Friday where Zion Williamson drew an astonishing 18,000 people to see his debut in a summer league game.

I’m not sure how good he’s going to be. But could there have been a more fitting metaphor for the juice Zion’s bringing than his NBA debut being called in the fourth period due to major rumbling into Vegas from California’s largest earthquake in two decades?

That was immediately followed by word out of L.A. that (a) Kawhi Leonard was taking his talents to the Clippers, (b) somehow Paul George would be joining him after a trade with Oak City that makes the Nets’ KG-Paul Pierce give-away seem prudent, (c) a galactic battle for supremacy in L.A. is set up between the newly re-figured Clips and the LeBron-AD-led Lakers, (d) from a local perspective, somehow the depleted Celtics are put back to just below Philly and the Bucks near the top in the Eastern Conference despite its free agent losses after Leonard and long-range bomber Danny Green (to the Lakers of course) walked out that door in Toronto.

Now let’s take a look at what’s left in the wake of 10 days of other seismic activity around the NBA. All it took is seven days to rescind my Lakers and Nets boycott, as even with LeBron and the Lakers getting their unethical way, the battle for L.A. is a curiosity-building bonanza for Adam Silver’s NBA. As

for the Nets, DL the fan just wants to see the Celtics stomp them. And I mean stomp!

Having said that, give Nets GM Sean Marks props for his remarkable job since taking over a franchise vaporized by that KG-Paul Pierce trade. It’s the blueprint the team at the other end of the Brooklyn Bridge should follow instead of chasing stars as the Knicks have fruitlessly done for 45 years.

Block out the noise from their whiney fans, including an absolutely morose Steven A. Blowhard, and do what Marks did. Take on bad contracts that bring back valuable assets to do that, as he did to get D’Angelo Russell and two other first-round picks.

Draft well for under-the-radar players, which he had to do since the Celtics had all their picks. Then when those bad contracts expire, use the cap space to pounce on top free agents. It took Brooklyn three years for that to work, while the Knicks have been mostly bad for 20. Tell me whose method is better.

Who had the worse six weeks, Boston with its free agent losses after a train wreck season, or the Warriors losing Kevin Durant to free agency, Klay Thompson to an ACL and Andre Iquadala as a sign and trade casualty (for Russell) just as their self-financed $1.4 billion new building is about to open in San Francisco?

The 76ers spent a whopping $420 million on extending Ben Simmons, re-signing Tobias Harris and bringing on Horford – a better move than re-signing Miami-bound Jimmy Butler. But the loss of J.J. Reddick’s long-range shooting will hurt.

Word has it Chris Paul wants out in Houston because he hates James Harden.

That comes on the heels of Paul wanting out of L.A. because he hated Doc Rivers.

Who do you think the real problem is? Paul, Harden, soon to be out of Oak City Russell Westbrook and Kyrie Irving are all cut from the same cloth: ball-hog, hardto-play-with “point guards” with limited playoff success because they always look for their shot first.

Utah got much better getting point guard Mike Conley Jr. and bomber Bojan Bogdanovic. That gives them more scoring and long-range shooting. And old friend Jeff Green’s NBA sojourn continues after signing there as well.

The Celtics still need a power forward to go with their cadre of 14 or 15 centers. The rumor circulating making sense is a Kevin Love deal that sends Gordon Hayward and draft picks to Cleveland. I’d rather see a three-way deal that sends Hayward home to Indiana, with Cleveland’s all-rookie team guard Collin Sexton along with Boston’s 2020 and 2022 first-round picks. Cleveland gets C’s top pick Romeo Langford, a better fit with Darius Garland, who Cleveland just took fourth overall, and the first-round pick Danny got in the Aron Baynes deal.

They get back Victor Oladipo, Domantas Sabonis and the contract of Wally McDermott to make the cap work. Four first-round picks (counting Lankford) and Hayward is a lot, but they’d have a dynamic, if small, starting backcourt with Kemba and Oladipo, better rebounding with Sabonis, and McDermott’s a shooter off the bench. Indy probably would want Jayson Tatum but the numbers don’t with him.

After Jerry West helped put the pieces in place for the great Golden State as the Warriors consultant, who’s surprised that now that he has a similar role with the Clippers they pulled off what they did last week? Not me.

Got a kick out of seeing the Logo and LeBron in a long courtside new age-vs.-legend chat in Vegas. The obvious reverence on LBJ’s face during it was cool.

Finally, after seeing Kawhi not only leave Toronto after one year, but also prevent them from filling his hole by purposely being the last big free agent to sign, how do you now feel about Danny Ainge not unloading all his young players and draft assets to get Anthony Davis for a one-and-done year?

The U.S.A.’s 2-1 semifinal match drew more than seven million viewers for a game that started at 3 p.m. during the work day on Tuesday. And if that’s not impressive enough for you, that outdrew a whopping 69 of the NBA’s playoff games according to Boston Globe sports media reporter Chad Finn, all of which were shown in prime time or afternoons during the weekend. The irony of course is the games were broadcast on various corporate networks of Fox, a company notorious for its litany of sexual harassment claims against women by Fox News division founder/president Roger Ailes, anchor Bill O’Reilly and others.

WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY DIRT BIKING, PLUS HOW TO GET STARTED AND WHERE TO RIDE Courtesy of the Merrimack Valley Trail Riders.

If you’re looking for a new adventure, consider dirt biking. Local riders say it can be a fun, challenging sport that fosters camaraderie, among other benefits. Find out how to get started, plus how and where to ride safely.

Down and dirty

How to get started with dirt biking

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Not a motorcycle and not a mountain bike, a dirt bike is something in between.

“In a general sense, dirt biking is a sport that involves a participant riding off-road [on] a motorcycle designed for such use,” said Chip Fredette, vice president of Merrimack Valley Trail Riders, a group that promotes the safe and responsible enjoyment of dirt biking.

“Figuratively speaking, dirt biking probably means something different from one [person] to the next. Perhaps adventure, competition, camaraderie, challenge, fitness and escape.”

Like riding a regular bike, riding a dirt bike requires a basic level of physical ability and technical knowledge, but on a higher level. Balance, strength, body conditioning, being able to pedal a regular bike and knowing how to work the controls of a motorcycle such as the clutch, shift, throttle and brakes “help make entry into the sport easier,” Fredette said.

“It might be fair to say the breadth of those skills required in dirt biking is greater mainly due to the potential mechanical nuances HIPPO | JULY 11 - 17, 2019 | PAGE 14

of a motorized bike,” Fredette said. “One of the biggest misnomers about the sport is that because [a dirt bike has] a motor, it’s easier than other biking sports. Not true.”

There are three kinds of dirt bikes: motocross, a closed-course track bike; enduro, a trail bike that involves both on- and offroad terrain; and trials, a closed-course bike designed to climb rocks and other challenging terrain surfaces. There are competitive and recreational events for each type of dirt bike in New England, Fredette said. Choosing one just depends on what type of riding you want to do.

“It’s wise to consult with a club like MVTR or their local bike shop for guidance,” he said.

The best way to get started with dirt biking, Fredette said, is to join a club like MVTR, which has around 500 members of all ages and abilities. Some clubs host beginner closed-course trail ride days where kids and adults who are interested in riding but don’t have a bike or safety gear can come, be outfitted and ride.

“We always look forward to welcoming newcomers and guiding them in a safe direction,” he said.

Clubs like MVTR and others under the New England Trail Rider Association often host regular group fun rides and annual competitive and recreational events. One of those events is the hare scramble, an organized closed-course competitive event where participants ride as many laps as possible in a fixed period of time. The enduro is an organized semiclosed-course competitive event where the goal is to maintain a certain pace over a longer distance. A turkey run is an organized open course similar to the enduro, but non-competitive. There are many other kinds of events, too.

“Camaraderie can be found on and off trail through monthly club meetings, trail work [and] group rides, as well as preparation for and operation of both charity and competitive events,” Fredette said.

If you don’t want to join a club, the next best way to start dirt biking is by talking with the staff at your local bike shop. Tell them the type of riding you’re interested in and ask for recommendations on what bike and safety gear to get.

A few things to remember before heading out on the trails: Never ride alone, “for

a myriad of safety reasons,” Fredette said — a group of three or four is ideal — and go prepared with gear, tools, nutrition and whatever else you may need during the ride.

Dirt biking can be as easy or as challenging as you want it to be, Fredette said. Some riders strive for the feeling of accomplishment after taking on a new trail or personal achievement in competition standings. For others, it’s about the adventure of a long ride, relieving stress and the opportunity to socialize and ride with or race against friends.

“The appeal is probably different from one [person] to the next,” he said.

Merrimack Valley Trail Riders Club Monthly meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month at 6:45 p.m., at Freedom Cycle, 110 Manchester St., Concord.

Membership costs $30. Visit mvtr.org. MVTR is an affiliate of the New Hampshire Off Highway Vehicle Association. To discover more clubs throughout New Hampshire that may include dirt biking, visit nhohva.org.

PRIMARY CARE PLUS.

A guide to dirt biking in New Hampshire

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Dirt biking can be a fun summer sport to get into, as long as you follow the state’s laws and safety regulations. Here are the most important things to know about dirt biking in the state, as well as where you are permitted to ride.

Registration and safety

The State of New Hampshire recognizes motorized trail bikes — dirt bikes — as part of the off-highway recreational vehicle (OHRV) family, which also includes ATVs and UTVs. According to Dennis Etchells Jr., OHRV program assistant for New Hampshire Fish & Game, these are defined as mechanically propelled vehicles specifically for recreation or pleasure off of any public, paved roads.

All trail bikes, Etchells said, must be registered through New Hampshire Fish & Game as OHRVs. There are several varying fees that apply for a year-long registration, depending on the rider’s residential status in the state and membership status in any one of the local riding clubs. The cost is $48 for club members and $78 for non-club members who are state residents, and $67 for club members and $97 for non-club members who are non-state residents. Most registrations are valid from July 1 through June 30 of the following calendar year.

“One of the biggest things we try to stress here at Fish & Game … is that we recommend people take a safety course,” Etchells said. “A lot of riders do take them now, and the number of trail bike accidents is relatively on the lower side of the spectrum as a result.”

There are two ways you can take a safety course. Free OHRV and snowmobile safety education courses are available on an on-demand basis, usually at New Hampshire Fish & Game’s headquarters on Hazen Drive in Concord. Pre-registration is required to attend

HEALTHCARE THAT PUTS YOU FIRST.

these courses, which are taught by Fish & Game-certified volunteer instructors (all current upcoming classes are full, according to Etchells).

Aspiring riders also have the option of taking an online course that can be completed at intervals over a period of about five and a half hours. The fee for that course is $29.50 per rider and it can be accessed by visiting ride. nh.gov. Upon completion of the course, riders receive their official state certificate by mail within two to three weeks, Etchells said.

“It’s good for a lifetime,” he said, “but we always recommend people to come back and take the course again years later … because laws, riding techniques and the bikes themselves change.”

You must be at least 18 years of age and possess either a valid driver’s license or state-issued photo ID to register a trail bike. As long as they have completed the safety education course, riders as young as 12 years old are permitted to ride trail bikes. But those ages 12 and 13 must be accompanied by a licensed adult over the age of 18. “[The requirements are] broken down into age groups as far as what you can and can’t do,” Etchells said. “Nobody under the age of 12 can operate on or across any roadways, and everybody under 18 has to have a helmet and eye protection of some kind, like riding goggles.”

Where to ride

Once you have your license and registration in hand, you can ride your trail bike wherever it is legal for them to be operated, Etchells said.

All of the OHRV trails are overseen and managed by the New Hampshire Bureau of Trails, which is part of the Parks & Recreation division of the state’s Department of Natural & Cultural Resources. Coos County allows CONTINUED ON PG 16

OHRVs to be up to 65 inches in width, while in the rest of the state the maximum width is 50 inches, Etchells said.

There are approximately 1,200 miles of public riding trails for OHRVs statewide, around 300 to 400 of which are permitted for trail bikes, according to bureau chief Chris Gamache.

“The most popular trail in the southern part of the state … would be the Hopkinton-Everett Riding Area, which is actually in Dunbarton and Weare, in an Army Corps flood control area,” Gamache said. “There are about 25 miles of trails on the property, with two trails that are limited only to trail riding.

Teen Actorsingers take on The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Be ready to laugh and maybe even go on stage yourself during The Teen Actorsingers production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, opening in Nashua on July 12.

The musical comedy, which opened off-Broadway in 2005, centers on six kids competing in a fictional spelling bee at Putnam Valley Middle School.

The show is unique in that it involves an improv element in which five audience members are randomly selected before the show to go on stage when called upon and “compete” with the spellers.

“That was the biggest draw of the show — the idea that anyone could be invited to come up on stage,” director and co-choreographer Matt Zielonko said. “Everyone in the Nashua community theater scene knows each other, so you see people who you know get called up and sit with the cast, and it’s a really fun thing.”

The show casts nine actors ages 14 through 18 — six who play the spellers and three who play the judges and moderators.

As the cast spellers step up to the microphone, humorous flashback scenes reveal their backstories. The actors who play the spellers temporarily leave their posts to play the parents in those flashbacks.

part is that they are all real words.”

Zielonko said he fell in love with the musical after acting in a production of it in college, and thought it would be a perfect show for The Teen Actorsingers. While his college production focused on the humor, Zielonko wanted The Teen Actorsingers’ performance to be focused on the characters and what makes them who they are.

“We spend a lot more time doing character motivation work and shaping the whole arc of the production around the characters’ backgrounds and where they came from,” he said.

If you’re looking for an afternoon or evening of laughs, you won’t be disappointed at Spelling Bee, Zielonko said.

“I think a lot of times, in the world we live in, you can use a good laugh, and this show is full of them — comedy with real people The Teen Actorsingers present The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

workers will train children in attendance how to use the wooden “rifles” before marching down to the Folsom Tavern with George Washington, who may engage in a drink with festival goers. This has some historical significance, as George Washington visited Exeter in 1789 during a tour of the northern states where he stopped at the now-Folsom Tavern for an early day meal.

Following George Washington’s parade is a 2 p.m. battle portrayal at Swasey Parkway.

Although no actual battle took place in Exeter, the battle reenactors take part in what Su calls “a scrimmage” to play out how a battle might have gone between the British and the Americans in Exeter.

“You hear the noise, you smell the powder scent; it’s a hot and heavy exchange,” Su said.

The portrayal will be hosted by an emcee who will announce the battle play-by-play style.

This will lead into a 3 p.m. musket removal demonstration portrayal, where an 18th-century doctor will act out how the surgery would’ve gone with one of the battle reenactors.

“It would’ve been pretty gruesome, but it’s a nice look at history and what they would’ve had to do in those situations,” Su said.

see the artisans on our grounds because they’re just doing amazing work in ways that a lot of people aren’t doing this work anymore, so it’s really great to see these traditional crafts being continued by these really talented people,” Su said. “That’s a really exciting connection for us.”

At 11 a.m., the museum will have a mock horseback delivery of the Declaration of Independence just as it would have been done in 1776. This reenactment includes militia reenactors marching up the street, yelling from the crowd, and a descendant of John Taylor Gillam, who originally read the Declaration to the assembled masses back in 1776, reading a copy aloud.

“The horseback delivery is really popular; we fill the streets pretty well with that,” Su said. “The horse comes through the center of the crowd, so they can really feel like they’re part of something. I think some people find that very moving.”

At noon the museum’s Folsom Tavern will open and begin serving “ale” from Cisco Brewers of Portsmouth, followed by a 1 p.m. parade led by a reenactor playing George Washington. Preceding the parade, museum and festival

In 1776 a copy of the Declaration of Independence was delivered to Exeter on horseback on July 16, announcing the country’s independence. Once again the town will celebrate that historic event with the Exeter American Independence Festival, featuring a mock reenactment of that delivery, a battle portrayal, a parade with George Washington, artisans doing traditional crafts like blacksmithing, and a chance for kids to learn how to use wooden “rifles.”

The Exeter American Independence Festival, which is happening Saturday, July 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the American Independence Museum, will also feature a display of a rare copy of the Declaration of Independence, of which there are only 26 still known to exist.

“It’s a good way to bring people there to see an original broadside of the Declaration of Independence,” said Eli Huebner, an Exeter native and reenactor who will be participating in the battle portrayal as a British soldier.

“That’s where New Hampshire was given its copy to read to the people — that’s where it was sent. And to see it in that kind of environment is really cool.”

The festival starts at 10 a.m. with an opening salute at Swasey Parkway done by reenactors playing the parts of militia members and soldiers from the 18th century.

After the opening salute, vendors will open up shop on Water Street in front of the museum.

The vendors include food trucks, local businesses, arts and crafts booths and more. Colonial artisans and craftspeople will also begin their displays at 10 a.m. in front of the museum’s Folsom Tavern. These artisans include blacksmiths, coopers, embroiderers, broommakers, tinsmiths, weavers and others. This aspect of the event is a favorite of Victoria Su, who is the public programs and engagement manager of the museum as well as the festival coordinator.

“I always super encourage everybody to go

Participating in the battle portrayal are eight to 10 reenactment groups who are representing historic units that would’ve existed in the Revolutionary War era. The reenactors will be set up throughout the day in encampments down at Swasey Parkway, where festival goers are welcome to walk through and discuss the ins and outs of 18th-century military regiments and socialize with the reenactors. The museum will also be hosting two guided tours of the encampments throughout the day, which Su believes “offer something really different for the guests and a different way to interact with us and the militia.”

Huebner believes the American Independence Festival gives attendees an intimate experience to learn more about American history.

“Last year we probably talked to well over 100 families about what it is that we do, about the British soldiers in the American Revolution,” Huebner said.

Huebner, having grown up in Exeter and attended the annual festival since the age of 7 or 8, cherishes both the historical aspects of the event and how it draws people from all over New England.

“It’s a great way to bring people into [Exeter] and sort of experience the quintessential New England town with the beautiful downtown,” Huebner said.

The festival ends at 4 p.m., followed by Folsom Tavern closing at 6 p.m., a band concert at 6:45 p.m. and town fireworks at dusk around 9 p.m., both occurring at Swasey Parkway.

Lilac season is about over. For the last two weeks I have been enjoying the amazing fragrance of “Miss Kim,” a species of lilac with light purple blossoms. It was sold to me some 25 years ago as a dwarf lilac, but it is not. It’s just slow-growing. Mine is now 10 feet tall and wide. It was loaded with many hundreds of blossoms, and I was able to smell its fragrance from across the garden.

I have a gardening friend, Nelia Sargent of Claremont, who specializes in fragrant plants.

She is blind, so she cannot see their blossoms; she grows them, in part, because she loves their scent.

I called Nelia and asked for her list of fragrant shrubs. She told me that her goal is to have fragrance in her house and garden from spring until fall.

“And I don’t want to have to put my nose in the flowers,” she said. “I want to smell them from 5 or 10 feet away, or even further.”

So she and I put together a list, roughly in sequence of bloom times. We agreed that even a shrub that should be fragrant isn’t always sweet-smelling. So we recommend buying for fragrance when the plant is in bloom.

The earliest on Nelia’s list is a spring-blooming witchhazel, one called “Arnold’s Promise.”

It is hardy to Zone 4, but I have never grown it, but will. She has it and says it blooms in late winter. The frilly yellow blossoms are infused with red, and it is highly fragrant. She cuts blossoms and brings them in the house when snow is still on the ground, and they last in a vase for up to two weeks.

Next comes February daphne. I’ve had this for over 15 years, and like it so much I named my little corgi after it. It has nice sweet pink blossoms that bloom in April. Mine rarely needs pruning and is still not 5 feet tall and wide. Mine was winter damaged this year for the first time ever. I like to cut stems in March and bring them in to bloom indoors.

Then come the viburnums. Many are fragrant, some very fragrant. Three that Nelia likes are Viburnum judii, V. carlessii, and V. burkwoodii. Many viburnums are susceptible to the viburnum leaf beetle, which can defoliate a shrub in a week or less. Nelia told me she has not had a problem with those three. Birds love the berries viburnums produce.

A nice fragrant understory shrub that I grew up with in Connecticut is spicebush. Its flowers are negligible, but its leaves are fragrant.

I learned this as a boy, pulling off a leaf and noticing the strong scent. As a teenager I chewed on the twigs as a breath freshener! I was able to find one for sale and have been growing it in dry shade for three years now.

Nelia mentioned fothergilla as a fragrant shrub with a pleasing subtle scent. I’ve grown

Calycanthus or sweetshrub. Photo by Henry Homeyer.

it for 20 years or so, and love it for the white, bottlebrush flowers in May and fabulous fall leaf color; but I have never noticed the fragrance. Mine might be the exception, and once again proves it important to buy things in bloom if you want fragrance.

All lilacs have nice fragrance in bloom, I think. Nelia was once asked to judge their scent for the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard.

She determined that there are at least 20 different lilac fragrances in their collection. If you select early, mid-season and late-blooming lilacs, you can have five weeks of fragrance and blossoms, she said.

Nelia Sargent noted that the Japanese tree lilac is very fragrant, but that it should probably be considered an invasive and not planted.

Seeds are spread by birds, and this stranger from a foreign land can out-compete many of our native understory plants. The gardeners at Saint Gaudens National Park have observed this, and actively remove them whenever they see them.

Carolina allspice or common sweetshrub has been blooming for me since mid-June and has lovely deep wine-red flowers; it prefers a shady spot with rich moist soil. Although Nelia considers it fragrant, mine is not, or just barely. Still, a shrub that blooms in shade is always welcome in my gardens.

In August there is summersweet clethra.

Nelia says a pink variety called ‘Ruby Spice’ is very fragrant. I have the wild white one, and it is fragrant, but not very.

In late August or early September the seven-son flower tree blooms. It is a very fast-growing tree; branches can grow 5 to 7 feet in a single season, but it slows down some when it reaches its full size of 25 feet tall or so. Mine has a pleasant but not overpowering scent. It has wonderful exfoliating bark that is splendid in winter.

This list of fragrant shrubs cannot include them all. Mock orange, for one, is very strong-smelling. Some rhododendrons are fragrant, particularly the native swamp azalea.

Please write me if you have a favorite I have neglected to mention. Perhaps I need to grow it!

Dear Russ, The painting looks interesting enough to buy.

It is impressionism, and it could be from the 1800s to present. To me, impressionist art is better the further away from it you get.

When you get up close it’s just great brush work to make the detailing. The definition is much more detailed than that.

It also seems to be a foreign subject, so it could be hard to tell the artist from a picture. I would try with a place that deals with art and its subject matter all the time. My try would be like Skinners down in Bolton, Mass.

Any kind of appraisal I could give you would be just from what I see and probably not fair to the artist. I like it but in order to

28 INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Give your small car the horn it deserves Dear Car Talk: Why is it that car manufacturers have decided that the smaller the car, the wimpier the horn should be? My pickup has

By Ray Magliozzi a nice, deep, loud horn. But my imported crossover almost sounds apologetic.

When you have to use your horn to warn someone that they’re coming over into your lane, or censure someone for cutting you off, they’re like, “Oh it’s a little car, no big deal.” — Mike

You’re right, Mike. It should be the opposite, right? The smaller the car, the more intimidating a horn it needs. It’s why little dogs have sharper teeth.

But you can swap out your horn, Mike. A bigger horn doesn’t take up much more space. And there’s no technological differences between big horns and small horns.

So, go to a junkyard and pull the horns off a 1976 Peterbilt tractor. Then, duct tape those babies to the vent window of your RAV-4 and watch people

clear out of the way. People will laugh at you when they see the little car making all that noise, but they’ll get out of the way first.

Actually, that’s overkill. Funny, but overkill. What you can do is find another passenger vehicle with a horn you like.

Let’s say it’s your pickup truck.

Go to the dealer and ask the parts department to sell you the horns for that truck. There will be two of them. Horns have two notes, which is what creates that dissonant horn sound.

Then, have your mechanic pull the horns out of your little import and replace them with the bigger horns. He may need to fiddle around with them to mount them, or maybe even change the size of the wires, but it’s not rocket science. And they all run on 12 volts, so he should be able to make it work.

When it’s finished, sneak up to your least favorite neighbor and give him a friendly beep “hello.”

Dear Car Talk: I have a 2007 Mercury Marquis. The A/C never can make up its mind as to where to direct the air flow. It comes out

the dashboard vents, then changes its mind and sends the air out the defrost vent. Then to the floor.

There’s no real pattern. I’ve spent $1,800 at the local Ford dealer and the problem never changes. They claim to have replaced stuff under the dash, but I’ve seen no evidence that they ever touched it. They have touched my money though. — Herman

Geez, I think these guys owe you a lot of money back, Herman.

The first thing I’d check would be the vacuum reservoir. The “blend doors” that direct the airflow under the dash are controlled by something called vacuum motors. And the vacuum needed to operate them is produced by the downward motion of the pistons inside the cylinders.

Every engine produces plenty of vacuum at idle and at low speed. But when the engine runs faster — when you begin to open the throttle — vacuum drops.

To make sure the blend doors don’t go crazy when the vacuum drops, lots of cars have something called a vacuum reservoir, which is a simple plastic container, about the size of a Nerf football,

that stores vacuum. Its job is to provide vacuum to keep the blend doors from closing and opening haphazardly when you accelerate.

So, I hope they replaced that.

If that’s not it, it could be something as simple as a bad connector, hose or check valve. The easiest way to find the vacuum leak (which is what I think you have) is to use a smoke machine. As a bonus, you can also throw a helluva party in your 2007 Marquis while getting your diagnosis. Be sure to bring your Pink Floyd albums. That’s what your Ford dealer should do next. And if they find a faulty vacuum reservoir or a bad connector or check valve, I think they owe you $1,800 back, minus the cost of the $150 vacuum reservoir, the $5 tee connector or the $3 check valve.

Or you might want to just go to another mechanic. Search at mechanicsfiles. com for a recommended shop near you, and start over with a smoke test. If they figure it out, then go back and ask Ford for a full refund, Herman. Or go to small claims court if you need to. I think they’re going to owe you.

Featured trucks will include Clyde’s Cupcakes of Exeter, Just Chill’n Cool Treats & Beverages of Derry, Prime Time Grilled Cheese of Manchester and several others from New Hampshire and other neighboring states. The two-day event will also feature music on Friday from 5 to 7 p.m., as well as tailgate games in the outfield, face-painting and bounce houses. Admission and parking are free; no dogs, outside food or beverages are allowed. Visit nhfishercats.com.

• Local bites and brews: The Homestead Restaurant and Tavern (641 Daniel Webster Highway, Merrimack) is hosting a beer dinner on Monday, July 15, at 5 p.m., featuring several local breweries. The six-course dinner will include items such as a charcuterie station with beer pretzels, pork and assorted cheeses; smoked scallops; pulled barbecue venison; cheddar ale bisque; and mussels with chorizo tomato sauce, as well as brews from Moat Mountain Brewing Co., Able Ebenezer Brewing Co. and Great North Aleworks. Tickets are $75 per person. Visit homesteadnh.com or call 429-2022.

• Sports store to sports bar: Shopper’s Pub + Eatery at Indian Head, a sportsthemed restaurant and pub, held its grand opening on July 1 in the former space of the Indian Head Athletics sporting goods store on 18 Lake Ave. in Manchester. The menu features made-from-scratch items like pizzas, steak tips, burgers, wings, chicken Parmesan, soups, chowders and salads, some of which utilize old family recipes from the early days of Shopper’s Cafe, which has been in business in Waltham, Mass., since 1937. Co-owner Joey LaCava told The Hippo last month that the plan to transform the old store to a sports bar has actually been in talks for the past 15 years. In fact, the eatery features aesthetics unique to the space, like the displays of the old overhead sign and the silhouette sports figures that once adorned the outside of the shop.

Meet the brewers behind your favorite craft beers when the New Hampshire Brewers Festival returns for its sixth year at Kiwanis Waterfront Park in Concord on Saturday, July 13.

“Our event is unique in the sense that a majority of the people who are pouring the beer are the ones who also made the beer,” said CJ White, executive director of the New Hampshire Brewers Association, which organizes the 21+-only festival each year. “People who attend love to have the chance to meet with the brewers face to face.”

As with previous festivals, White said, the participating brewers encompass a variety of geographical locations across New Hampshire, and also feature both seasoned breweries and first-timers. Most are pouring beers that you cannot get outside of the brewery’s onsite tasting room or special collaborative options among brewers.

“There will be some rare things for people to get excited about to come try,” White said.

Lithermans Limited Brewery of Concord, for example, will be offering samples of Finding Balance, a honey oat IPA braggot (or a beer made with honey) as part of a collaboration with Ancient Fire Mead & Cider of Manchester. The third collaboration overall from Lithermans and Ancient Fire, the braggot first became available in each of their respective taprooms on July 3.

A couple of breweries in planning — like Vulgar Brewing Co. of Franklin and Twin Barns Brewing Co. of Meredith — won’t be pouring but will be attending the festival, giving attendees the chance to get information and ask questions about what kind of beer they will have when they open for business. Twin Barns Brewing Co. will hold its grand opening week beginning on July 16, the Tuesday after the festival.

6th annual New Hampshire Brewers Festival When: Saturday, July 13, 1 to 4 p.m. (VIP ticket-holders admitted at noon) Where: Kiwanis Waterfront Park, 15 Loudon Road, Concord (behind the Douglas N. Everett Arena) Cost: General admission is $45 in advance and $50 on the day of the festival; VIP admission is $60; designated driver admission is $20 (must be 21 years of age or older) Visit: granitestatebrewersassociation.org Event is rain or shine and 21+ only. No children or pets allowed.

White said a new feature available to VIP ticket holders includes a hands-on “hop nosing” and beer pairing session, allowing you to get a full sensory experience of smelling and tasting.

“We’ll have The Hop Yard and Crosby Hop Farms there with us,” she said. “People will get a chance to see and smell the hops before they go sample the beer. So it’s like, you get to smell it first, and if you like what you smell, you can … taste the beer with that hop.”

In addition to the craft beers, there will be food available for purchase from a number of vendors and food trucks, like B’s Tacos of Londonderry, the Concord Food Co-Op, the Lunch Lady Food Truck, the Tuckaway Tavern & Butchery of Raymond and several others, and there will be music from 92.5 FM The River.

“The biggest thing we try to stress with this event … is continuing to promote our mission of educating people about craft beer in New Hampshire,” White said.

A new spiked still water — think of an alcoholic seltzer, but without the bubbles — is now available in more than 300 independently owned stores across New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

NOCA, which stands for “no carbonation,” comes in three flavors – dragon fruit mango, watermelon lime and triple berry. It contains 4.5 ABV, 95 calories, two grams of sugar, three grams of carbs and is free of any artificial ingredients. The water is filtered and features a fermented cane sugar base.

The story of the drink’s genesis came out of the desires of three friends to “take a risk” and launch a unique product of their own.

College friends Alex Febonio, Galen Hand and Richard Roy all graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2016 with plans to pursue careers in finance. But it wasn’t long before they decided they wanted to do something different.

“We all went to college … during the spiked seltzer boom. It was the big thing at the time, pretty much, because at the end of the day, it was a healthier option than soda due to its low sugar content,” Febonio said.

“But then Galen said one day that he didn’t like carbonation. So we looked at what options there were on the market, and at the time, there was nothing.”

When the three friends realized there was a niche to be filled, they started asking friends and family members if they preferred carbonation.

“A lot of people actually came back to us, and said no,” he said. “They’d tell us that if they had the option to, they’d drink something that was still, but that also had the same health benefits. So then we just kind of ran with it. … All of the flavoring is natural or organic, with no preservatives. That plays a huge role in what you actually taste when you try the drink.”

Febonio said he, Hand and Roy spent considerable time in his apartment testing out different flavors. All three were members of the Atkins Investment Group at UNH during their college days, using their university connections to their advantage in starting their new business venture.

“We reached out to some alumni who were a huge help to us, [by] just advising us on how to raise capital and actually go to market with a product,” he said. “They actually [connected] us with Vital [Design] in Portsmouth, which did all of our can designs.”

The company is headquartered in Newmarket, but the drink and its cans are manufactured in Baltimore, by a company that NOCA has contracted with to produce them and ship them back up to the Granite

State. Febonio said the group were also connected with Tyler Kelly of New Hampshire Distributors, who helped them branch out to get their product in several area convenience stores and corner stores.

You can easily find the nearest store to you that sells NOCA by visiting the website and entering your city or town zip code.

Depending on the location, you can either get individual 12-ounce cans or boxed cases of six cans each.

The next steps, Febonio said, are for NOCA to appear in larger chain stores and supermarkets like Market Basket and Hannaford, and to eventually obtain enough funds to sell the product in even more states.

In the meantime, Febonio said he or his two other co-founders go to nearly a dozen locations across the state each week to do samplings.

“We’re … at a table in a store and get people to engage with us and try it, and that seems to resonate with people,” he said. “I definitely think, especially when you’re just starting out with a new product, the samplings are important because you can get it in someone’s hands.”

Here in New England we are blessed with changing seasons. We have a glorious fall with blue skies and golden leaves, winter with white nights and air that sometimes tickles our noses, and a “mud season” that brings us maple syrup and sugar on snow. Summer is long awaited, with seemingly endless daylight and a chance to cook and eat and bask in the great outdoors with friends and family. With summer we get to enjoy burgers and steak on the grill, steamed or grilled lobster, with fresh vegetables, finished with a dessert of local strawberries and cream! What wine should we pair with these foods? The choices are limitless!

The Girls in the Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, regularly priced at $18.99 and on sale at the New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet at $16.99, is an extremely versatile wine.

The Girls is a winery that is based in Napa, California, but sources its grapes and wine from the vast grape-growing regions that surround Napa — the California wine country. One may initially think a winery always grows its own grapes. In doing so, the winery establishes a certain definitive nose and flavor to its wines. However, this is not always the case with sourcing and blending the wine that is found in our markets.

Wineries often source some, if not all, their grapes from growers that may be at some distance from the winery. The ability to choose the best from the region, or even the best of the year, allows a winery to produce superior wines of consistent value. The grapes that create this sauvignon blanc come from Lake County, one hour north of Napa.

With warm, abundant sunshine and cool evenings and nights, the vineyard, founded on an ancient river bed with gravel soils, brings forth wine with a pale straw color reminiscent of a summer day of brightly colored flowers. The wine has a nose of fresh citrus with mineral notes. To taste, the wine retains its citric notes with the added tropical flavors of pineapple and finishes with a bit of lemongrass. This wine goes well with most foods, and as their website states, especially with “anything you might want to squeeze lemon on.” All seafood, from salmon to crab to lobster, pairs well with this wine. Chicken, light spicy entrees and soft, young cheese can be served with this wine.

The Expedition Cabernet Sauvignon by Canoe Ridge Vineyards, regularly priced at $18.99 and on sale at the Liquor & Wine Outlet for $16.99, is a wonderful wine from Horse Heaven Hills, located along the Columbia River in south central Washington.

Horse Heaven Hills is a 570,000-acre stretch of land that was established as an AVA (Amer-

Courtesy photo.

ican Viticultural Area) in 2005. The AVA’s elevations vary from 425 to 740 feet above sea level with soils that are sandy and welldrained. With an annual precipitation from 6 to 9 inches, a warm growing season matures the grapes earlier in the season, decreasing the risk of a fall frost. The wind patterns are brisk and contribute to a thinner canopy of leaves over the clusters of grapes. This is an area where merlot, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, pinot gris, sauvignon blanc and syrah can thrive. The 181-acre vineyard estate is on a south-sloping ridge above the river, with elevations as varied at the AVA’s.

Per their website, Canoe Ridge is said to have inherited its name from the explorers Lewis and Clark, when during their 1805 exploration someone remarked the nearby ridge resembled an overturned canoe. Rooted on stock that is 25 years old, the varietals grown by Canoe Ridge are mature and produce wine of great concentration. This cabernet was awarded 90 points by Wine Spectator. To the nose, it is rich with black currant and blackberry. To the taste, the fruit remains, along with a bit of vanilla, but is more subtle than that of the “Cadillac Cabernets” of Napa Valley. The focus of this wine is a Bordeaux-style wine, complete with a gentle aging in French cooperage that produces tannins that are balanced. This is an excellent wine to pair with grilled steak or a “structured gourmet burger!”

So enjoy the warm, summer sun. Host a beachfront clambake and lobster feast, or an intimate backyard barbecue. Be it simple or lavish, pair your entrees with these approachable and affordable wines. You will be truly appreciated by your guests!

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.

If Blue Cheer had access to Mesa Boogie amps, their output would have been quite a bit like that of this Evansville, Indiana, foursome, whose debut album — this one here — is trying to compete with basically everything in today’s non-thrash metal sphere at once. I’m not going to lie and say there aren’t a lot of bands doing this stuff, from Queens of the Stone Age on down, but this is some serious ear-bleed fuzz-aggro, starting with opener “Bite the Ash,” a street-metal half-punkspeed rocker that takes aim at the High On Fire space, if without the Lemmy-soundalike singing (whichever mononymed dude sings here is more in line with Kyuss or a less versatile Chris Cornell). But wait, there’s more, like the ultra-slow, St. Vitus-onsleeping-aids “Somnium,” which begs actual, no-kidding-around Sabbath comparisons by switching to a faster gear halfway in (I don’t know why so many doom-stoner bands don’t toss tempo changes into their songs and insist on making oafish attempts at genre pigeonholing). A little more high range and these guys could be a Boris-killer, mayhaps. A — Eric W. Saeger

Covenant, Fieldworks Exkursion (Metropolis Records)

We’re 25 years into this Swedish duo’s legacy of warped goth-electro (or industrial EDM if you really feel the need to pigeonhole thinking-person’s bands, which you just shouldn’t), and it’s still a box of spooky, unsettling chocolates.

These guys have a special place in the burned-in grooves of my brain: Singer Eskil Simonsson’s detached baritone was the secret ingredient in the Front Line Assembly track “The Storm,” an unforgettable goth-trance joint that should be played during every NHL power play. They’re elite, is what I’m saying, and on this EP perhaps more so than ever, not that I’d want to get into it with a deeply dedicated fanboy.

“Pantheon” begins this trip with a post-apocalyptic (or everyday hellish subway ride) vision, chugging along menacingly when it isn’t delivering noise-house and borderline glitch. Aw, the whole thing’s awesome, from the shattered noise/darkwave of “All That is Solid Melts into Air” to the Black Mirror-esque droid-EDM of “False Gods.” Elite, like I said. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

• The new album-release checklist for July 12 includes, more or less notably, Game of Thrones bit-part acting hack Ed Sheeran’s new record, called No. 6 Collaborations Project. I’m stupidly assuming that this means he did a bunch of one-off recordings with other annoying multi-genre musicians, but I’m constantly getting my tail caught in the door when artistes christen their albums with stupid, misleading titles, so I suppose we’ll see, won’t we. No, it is, it’s collaborations, and guess who’s the first collaborator, you’ll die! Ha ha, yes, it’s Justin Bieber, on the song “I Don’t Care,” and in the video, these two rich numbskulls are in plush bear suits. The song is like typical Taylor Swift reggaeton-for-dummies stupidity, except sung by men in icky meme-bear suits. How … 2006 of them.

• We should definitely mention Cool Car, the new one from Girlfriend Material, because the band features two of the guys from Tokyo Police Club. I get nostalgic about TPC, because back when they were actually buzzworthy, there was still faint hope for indie rock. All right, fine, there wasn’t, at least back then. Maybe it was the first time I agreed with a Pitchfork writer, but who cares, I liked them. But I digress, which is part of my job description; the alternative would be to stay on-subject and try to describe guitar sounds without using onomatopoeia words like “skronk-a-donk” and instead use words like “angular” and “jagged,” which I just can’t do to you people, because I imagine most of you as being nice. Oh well, let’s get to it, and try not to cry over whatever this is going to sound like. I’m betting there’s going to be Auto-Tune or something else in this new single, called, let’s see, blah blah blah... “First of the Month.” Wow, you kids couldn’t care less about this! The YouTube’s been up for three days, with only 450 views, and the “auto-complete” in the YouTube search box doesn’t do anything when you start typing. Yikes! The song itself has a Strokes guitar sound, you know, “dwinga dwinga dwinga,” then they start singing and it’s like The Hives. It’s a cool song; too bad no one will care.

• I’m not sure what the title of New Order’s new LP is supposed to mean, so you’ll have to figure it out. The title looks like an epic misprint, or maybe a snippet of source code for a Java program that helps people figure out the best jeans size for their body, check it out: ∑(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) New Order + Liam Gillick: So It Goes. Heh heh, not many bands could get away with naming a record after a line of gibberish, but sure, New Order, you’ve earned it, so I’ll play along until I get annoyed. It’s actually a live album from 2017, when they returned to Manchester’s Old Granada Studios, where Joy Division (their previous band name) made their television debut on Tony Wilson’s So It Goes program in 1978. In short, it’s live versions of cool songs they’ve decided to ruin.

• Incoherent mumbler and foul-mouthed rapping human Kool Keith releases KEITH on July 12, because what better title, man. I’ll have to edit the title of the first single, “Zero F***,” but believe me, it’s awesome, made of a creepy slow-trap loop of a piano doing harp-like things, and B-Real from Cypress Hill guests on it, which automatically makes it awesome. Oh, just trust me for once.

“It’s an opportunity to share with my readers what inspired the book and why it is very meaningful to me,” she said.

The July 27 event will feature Andre Dubus III. His novel House of Sand and Fog was a finalist for the National Book Award and a New York Times Bestseller and was made into an Academy Award-nominated film. His newest novel Gone So Long was released in October 2018.

On Aug. 10, the series welcomes John Porter, who was a contributing author for Preserving Old Barns: Preventing the Loss of a Valuable Resource (2001), The History and Economics of the New Hampshire Dairy Industry (2007) and Crosscurrents of Change: Concord, N.H. in the 20th Century (2011). This year, he published a new edition of Preserving Old Barns.

Peter Miller will be featured at the final event on Aug. 24. Miller, best known for his black and white photography highlighting rural America, has written and photographed six coffee table books.

Clark said the series is a unique opportunity to “meet the people behind the book.”

“I personally am fascinated by the authors who write these stories, seeing what they are like and hearing about their process and how they go about doing what they do,” she said.

The Tory Hill Authors Series returns for its 10th year, with a lineup of four author events to be held at the Warner Town Hall on Saturdays, July 13, July 27, Aug. 10 and Aug. 24.

Warner has been home to more than 100 authors over the years, many of whom lived on Kearsarge Mountain Road on Tory Hill. The annual summer series sponsored by the Warner Historical Society pays tribute to that part of Warner’s history, featuring local and nationally known authors who come to read from and discuss their books and personal experiences.

“I think Warner has always been a very arts-focused community … [with] a lot of people who enjoy reading, so I think [the series] fills a need,” Lynn Clark, series coordinator, said. “Everyone will come together for events like this. It’s just the kind of community it is.”

After each author’s presentation, there will be a book signing and reception where people can meet the authors.

“It’s a little bigger and more formal than a bookstore event, but it’s not overwhelming,” Clark said. “People will get a chance to have a nice, intimate chat with the authors about their work.”

The series kicks off with Diane Les Becquets on July 13. The Henikker author, a former professor of English and MFA director, has penned four novels, including the national bestseller Breaking Wild (2016), which was named one of the 10 most addicting books of the year

by Kirkus Reviews. She has received the New Hampshire Outstanding Fiction Award, the Colorado Book Award in Fiction (she previously lived in Colorado) and was a finalist for the Reading the West Literary Award in Fiction.

Her most recent novel, The Last Woman in the Forest, released in March, follows conservation worker Marian Engstrom, who, while on her first assignment in northern Alberta working with rescue dogs to help protect endangered wildlife, falls in love with her mentor, Tate.

After Tate is killed in a bear attack, Marian discovers some disturbing secrets about Tate’s life and starts to suspect that he was responsible for the unsolved murders of at least four women.

“I love to write about strong women in natural settings, like a small town or a wilderness environment,” Les Becquets said.

“I’m very interested in exploring how they deal with trauma and conflict.”

Some of the chapters are loosely based on Les Becquets’ own traumatic expe-

The Farm, by Joanne Ramos (324 pages, Random House) American parents who like the idea of children, just not the work, can now hire people to potty-train their children, or get them to sleep, in addition to throwing birthday parties, child-proofing the house and teaching little monsters manners.

What if it were possible to outsource nine months of pregnancy as well? That’s the premise behind The Farm, the debut novel of New Yorker Joanne Ramos, who has created a chillingly plausible world in which ultra-wealthy couples pay for the incubation of their children inside “host” women who agree to live in ideal fetus-nurturing conditions for nine months.

It’s plausible, of course, because something similar to this already goes on, most notably in India, where commercial surrogacy was just banned in 2018, and in the 47 states in America where surrogacy is legal, but most often used by women for whom it would be medically dangerous to carry a child, like Kim Kardashian, who just had a surrogate-carried son with Kanye West.

In India, women were paid the equivalent of about $6,000 to be implanted with an embryo and stay at a center until they delivered. It was a way to earn a living for some women with few other options, as it is for Jane, the Filipino mother at the center of Ramos’s story.

But The Farm gives surrogacy the Madison Avenue treatment, with hosts who are recruited for specific qualities, to include ethnicity, education and discretion, and then placed in a spa-like setting on 260 acres where their only job is to produce the highest-quality fetus.

They do this with regular exercise, optimal nutrition, exposing the fetus to classical music and Winston Churchill speeches, and frequent testing. They are not allowed to get stressed, since cortisol can pass from the host to the fetus.

Contact with the outside world is limited, because of this, and they’re required to pay their monthly obligations in advance, so they have nothing to worry about while inside Golden Oaks Farm.

On the surface, it sounds great — women who don’t want to hinder their careers or take on the weight gain and other physical challenges of pregnancy get their babies; women who liked being pregnant and pampered are well-paid.

But surrogacy under these terms raises plenty of ethical questions, not the least of which is the exploitation of poor women of color.

The story is told through alternating perspectives of four women: Mae, the hard-charging millennial who runs Golden Oaks and envisions expanding the three-year-old business to the West Coast and ramping up its offerings; Jane, the impoverished new mother who applies to be a host after being fired from a nanny job; Ate (it means “big sister” in Tagalog), Jane’s cousin, who suggested Golden Oaks and cares for Jane’s baby while she is away; and Reagan, a cum laude graduate of Duke University, who becomes a host because she is desperate to get out from under the thumb and bankroll of her father and wanting to do good while earning some money.

The hosts enter Golden Oaks hopefully, looking forward to nine months of pampering and financial incentives, which include monthly payments and a large bonus upon delivery of a healthy child. But the restrictions begin to wear on them, and “the farm,” as Golden Oaks is dubbed by a cynical host frustrated that she can’t have conjugal visits with her boyfriend, imposes punishments when rules are broken.

Moreover, as Jane’s and Reagan’s pregnancies progress, several morally challenging problems unfold, such as the host whose fetus was discovered to have Down syndrome, and the discovery of a tumor in a host. In cases like these, who makes the call of whether the pregnancy continues, and whether the life of the mother or the child is more important?

The contracts, of course, were well-vetted, so Golden Oaks is ostensibly in control. But as Mae and her colleagues, who privately call the hosts by their numbers and not names, wade deeper into ethical bogs, the mission of Golden Oaks looks increasingly questionable, as does the fate of its guests. The main tension of the story derives from Jane getting troubling news about her daughter and her inability to help, because she is essentially under house arrest, and to leave the Golden Oaks seems impossible because she would forfeit the money she so desperately needs, but also because it’s unclear what lengths the facility would go to to contain her. (More ethical nuances: could she be charged with kidnapping the fetus, in addition to breach of contract, if she managed to leave? The child isn’t biologically hers although it is inside her.)

But The Farm also plumbs the unintended consequences of extreme income inequality and challenges the idea that America is better than poorer countries. To rich American housewives, Ramos writes, “the Philippines was a place of rot and menace, where everything could fall apart and often did.” But in America, “you must be strong and young and if you are not rich.” The old and feeble are hidden in nursing homes where they are roughly treated and parked in front of televisions all day, Ate explains.

Ramos, the author, was born in the Philippines and lived there until her family moved to Wisconsin when she was 6. A former staff writer at The Economist and the mother of three, she drew from the experiences of Filipina women she met to write about the disparities between their lives and those of the families for which they work, caring for young children but not for too long lest they become too familiar.

“They will tell you to ‘make yourself at home’ — but they do not want you to make yourself at home!,” Ate tells Jane, when coaching her on how to be a baby nurse. “Because it is their home, not yours, and they are not your friends. They are your clients. Only that.”

Her words do not dazzle, but Ramos’s plotting is deft and her story memorable. Read it now, before it becomes the blockbuster movie that was ensured by the endorsement of Oprah Winfrey.

42 POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Spider-Man: Far From Home (PG-13)

Peter Parker goes on a vacation in Europe in Spider-Man: Far From Home, a look at the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame and the beginning of whatever comes next.

Spider-Man: Far From Home

warrior — and later learns he was working with Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal), whom Italian media and Peter’s buddies call Mysterio. Quentin is a warrior from an alternate universe Earth that was destroyed

by Elementals, creatures made of water or earth or, in the case of the strongest Elemental who Quentin and Fury’s team believe is now headed toward Prague, fire.

If they can’t stop Fire, this Earth will be destroyed just like Quentin’s, explains a plucky but rueful Mysterio who still wears the wedding ring reminding him of the family he’s lost.

Peter gets that, world in peril and all, but he also really just wanted to go on his school trip and turn all his efforts into finding a romantic moment to give MJ a black dahlia necklace (it’s her favorite flower, because of the murder, of course). Sure, OK, says Fury, but then rearranges Peter’s class trip so that the whole gang ends up in Prague. He does, however, give in to Peter’s fear about his identity being revealed if Spider-Man is seen in Europe; he outfits Peter with a hastily cobbled-together black suit.

Thanks to Ned, Peter’s European persona even gets its own goofy name.

And that’s probably where we need to stop, plot-wise, so as not to get into serious spoiler territory.

I feel like I’ve seen a lot of TV and movies lately that deal with the longtime hero trying to figure out how to hang up his cape (or his sheriff badge or whatever) and move on. Spider-Man: Far From Home is the flip side of this: How does the next generation go forward on its own? Spider-Man might be able to get an assist from Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), but he’s not Iron Man any more than young Peter Parker is Tony Stark. Who is Peter without that mentor? Is he ready to go it alone? The way he deals with this issue and the responsibility that he thinks he may or may not be left with now that the original Avengers are not around makes for a sturdy emotional bone structure on which to layer the action, humor and teenage awkwardness of this movie.

Far From Home stays true to this version of the Spider-Man character as someone who is super-smart and capable but still young and at times uncertain.

The movie also does a good job of moving us into the post-Endgame world. We meet Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), who is now an advocate for those left homeless by the blip (she blipped back to her apartment to the great confusion of the new family who was living there). We also get a sense of what this world is like, a world

“The blip” is what the world is calling the snap away/snap back phenomenon wherein half the population disappeared for five years because of Thanos and then returned thanks to the hard work of the Avengers (which, like, this whole movie is a spoiler for Endgame, so I’m also going to assume that you’ve seen it). Thanks to the hard work of the Avengers and specifically the sacrifice of Tony Stark/Iron Man. Peter (Tom Holland), one of the snappedaways as you’ll remember from those previous two movies, comes back to find that buddies Ned (Jacob Batalon) and MJ (Zendaya) were also snapped away and are still his age but that other kids have aged — such as the once scrawny tween, now buff teen Brad (Remy Hii). All the girls love Brad, Ned tells Peter, who is worried that MJ may be one of those girls and that Brad feels the same about her. The kids of Peter’s Queens high school are particularly bummed that even though many of them were snapped away after midterms, they came back and had to repeat the year.

Perhaps the European vacation that Peter’s science class gets to go on is meant to make that injustice go down a little easier.

Or perhaps, as we learn later, it was all an elaborate ruse to get Peter in Europe, especially since he’s been sending calls from Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) to voice mail. As it turns out, some of Europe’s tourist hot spots are also potential future settings for strange electromagnetic activity-related events that Fury and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) have been tracking around the world. Just as Peter’s class arrives in Venice, so does a giant water monster (like it sounds, a giant monster made of water) and, fighting it, a warrior who looks vaguely like Thor but with a fishbowl for a head. Peter offers to help — I’m strong and I’m sticky, he tells the

that went through two major upheavals and then the loss of some of its heroes.

With aliens now an established fact and several of the planet’s great protectors gone, people are in a state of anxiety and fear — aliens could come back and then what. And the threat isn’t just from offworld — as a character points out, after the events around the blip, people are basically ready to believe anything. The movie delves into these ideas maybe not quite as much as I’d like but enough that it gives some weight to the story it’s telling. The movie also fits into the Marvel Cinematic Universe like a puzzle piece you didn’t realize was missing but now that you see it you think, yes, of course. Even though the adventures head to Europe, this movie, similar to Homecoming, gives the view of the MCU happenings from the ground.

Iron Man fought this battle, the Avengers fought that foe, but under all that these minor dramas with ordinary people were going on.

Spider-Man: Far From Home is not as joyous and buoyant as Homecoming felt but then Peter Parker is a different character than he was when he was just a friendly neighborhood kid from Queens.

The movie is, above all, fitting — fitting with its place in the MCU, fitting with its spot in the second half of the summer release schedule (which, I guess, is what the first week of July is if “summer” kicks off the last weekend of April). It is contemplative (in a bright and fun MCU way) while still containing plenty of laughs and classic set-piece MCU action sequences.

And, yes, definitely stick around for the credits scenes — there are two — both of which contain last-minute surprises that send the story spinning off in intriguing new directions. B+ Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, some language and brief suggestive comments, according to the MPAA. Directed

by Jon Watts with screenplay credits for Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, Spider-Man: Far From Home is two hours and nine minutes long and and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

• Overhauled: The volatile past of alt rock band Puddle of Mudd is all in the rearview mirror, says singer and sole remaining original member Wes Scantlin. Hits like “Control”, “Blurry” and “She Hates Me” helped the band clean up in the early 2000s, but their last new album was in 2009, and Scantlin melted down at more than a few shows before hitting rehab. Here’s hoping the old form is back. Go Sunday, July 14, 8 p.m., The Big House, 322 Lakeside Ave., Laconia. Tickets $30 at eventbrite.com • Fabulous: A free outdoor concert features Beatlejuice, a band fronted by Boston singer Brad Delp from 1994 until his death in 2007.

Since that tragedy, the all-star group carries on with a changing cast of members, all of whom have long resumes in the New England music scene, doing Beatles songs from “Please Please Me” to “I Am The Walrus” and beyond, always with drummer John Muzzy sitting behind a real “Ringo” kit. Go Tuesday, July 16, 7 p.m., MacGregor Park, East Broadway, Derry.

There’s a moment in the 2014 documentary The Ballad of Shovels and Rope when Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst sit at a kitchen table and muse upon what success might bring. “I’d like to see the world … and have it be paid for by a song,” Hearst says.

“The ultimate goal is to keep on being able to do it, keep on liking to do it, so we don’t have to do something else to be happy.”

Trent agrees. “It’d be nice to make a living at it,” he adds, “maybe have some rugrats, curtain climbers.” Hearst smiles beatifically in response, her back to a wall decorated with hand-drawn band logos and photos from the road.

With tenacity, it all came true.

The scene was from 2010; two years later, the duo’s debut album O’ Be Joyful was released, and the autobiographical “Birmingham” helped bring their dream to life.

The tune won Song of The Year at the 2013 Americana Music Awards; it depicts the desire required to break through in a grave new world of streams and social media.

“Making something out of nothing with a scratcher and our hope,” they sing, “with two old guitars like a shovel and a rope.”

It was hardscrabble poetry, with a finger on the pulse of profound realities contained in ordinary struggles.

Shovels & Rope have since made three studio albums. The last two, 2016’s Little Seeds and the newly released By Blood, reflect their lives as parents to a three-yearold daughter and newborn son. One song on the new LP tells the story of a magical horse reuniting torn apart families; “C’mon Utah” will become a children’s book later this year.

With prescience typical for a duo that filmed its rise while one of them still had a day job, the tune came before news of border camps and cages caught the public eye.

“Michael brought that song to the pile

really early in the writing process,” Hearst said during a recent joint interview. “At the time there wasn’t an epidemic of families being separated from their children.”

In the futuristic tale, a wall has been built and fallen; in its wake, the lost wander the rubble looking for loved ones.

“Our vision was that it would be a story that folks would be telling their kids around a campfire,” Hearst said. “To ease their anxiety in the night, like, ‘don’t worry, there’s this magic horse … he knows how to find who you’re looking for.’”

Puerto Rican artist Julio Cotto Rivera is illustrating the book.

“His drawings are awesome, unique [with] extreme symbolism,” Hearst said. “It’s suitable to read to children but more like an art book or graphic novelette. … In theory it will be out before the end of the summer.”

Currently, the duo are opening for Tedeschi Trucks Band as part of their annual Wheels of Soul tour. Michael and Cary Ann’s kids are with them on the bus, with a nanny.

“The first one broke us in the saddle pretty well, so two hasn’t been a huge change on the road,” Hearst said. “It’s more interesting at home because we don’t have any help.”

That last point was felt during recording of By Blood. To better focus, the two built a separate studio outside their house.

“It was our responsibility to ourselves,” Trent said. “The last record was a big time learning experience. With Little Seeds, we had a little person for the first time in our house, and the scheduling was a little bit jarring. … We thought, ‘oh, yeah, we’ll just have a neighbor come over and they’ll hold the baby for two hours while we go up and cut the vocals.’ Just because the neighbor is holding the baby doesn’t mean that the baby isn’t screaming in the next room.”

“The first one was a crier,” Hearst interjected. “We should predicate.”

“Anyway,” Trent continued, “we’ve gotten a little bit savvy over the past few years and figured out how to balance regular lives with making music. It’s tricky, but totally doable.”

54 NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Bright idea

Arby’s has turned the trend toward plantbased “burgers” on its head with the new Marrot: a carrot made out of meat. Vice reported that Arby’s has definitively rejected the plant-based meats movement. “(W) hat Americans really want ... is great, tasty meat,” said Jim Taylor, Arby’s chief marketing officer. “So we said if others can make meat out of vegetables, why can’t we make vegetables out of meat?” The Marrot is made by rolling raw ground turkey breast into a carrot shape, cooking it sous-vide for an hour, covering it with a special “carrot marinade,” and then oven-roasting it for another hour. Bon appetit!

After her husband suffered a stroke in 2012, Junghee Kim Spicer, owner of the Yakima (Washington) Arts Academy, increased the number of piano students she taught in her home, angering neighbor Paul Patnode, who complained and forced Spicer to get a permit that limited the hours and number of students she could teach each day, reported the Yakima Herald. Spicer complied, according to court documents, but Patnode, unsatisfied, sued her and lost that case in 2014. Undeterred, Patnode changed tactics: From November 2015 through March 2016, he parked his diesel pickup truck next to Spicer’s home, remotely revving the engine and setting off

People different from us

• Zack Pinsent, 25, from Brighton, England, hasn’t dressed in modern clothing since he was 14 years old. Instead, he makes and wears clothes that were popular in the 1800s. “At 14, I made the symbolic decision to burn my only pair of jeans in a bonfire. It was a real turning point,” Pinsent told Metro News. On a typical day, Pinsent wears a floral waistcoat and knee-high leather riding boots, along with a jacket with tails and a top hat. He explains that his obsession started when his family found a box of his great-grandfather’s suits. He now researches, designs and sews clothing for himself and other history buffs, to great response: “I’ve been all over the world and people are inquisitive and appreciative,” he said.

• A baby boy born in West Java, Indonesia, in November 2018 was given a most memorable name by his parents, Andi Cahya Saputra and Ella Karin. Eight-month-old Google was so named, Saputra told Indonesian media, because “Google has a great meaning ... Google is number one in the world, the site most visited by people.” The Mirror reported Saputra told his own father he hopes his son will become “a useful person” and “help” a lot of people, while also explaining that they didn’t want to “dilute” the essence of the boy’s name by giving him a middle or surname. He’s just Google. The baby’s mom wasn’t really on board with the idea until about three months after he was born. She said people ask if their next child will be named WhatsApp, but it doesn’t bother her because they don’t understand the meaning of the name.
