As noted in the Hippo this summer, brook trout are New Hampshire’s state freshwater fish.

Along with lake trout, locally extinct Arctic charr or Sunapee trout, and federally and critically endangered Atlantic salmon, they are one of only four species of “trout” native to the state. Like Arctic charr and lake trout, however, brook trout are charr, not true trout.

Brook trout are important to New Hampshire and New Hampshire is important to brook trout.

Sadly, many of the brook trout caught in New Hampshire today come from a hatchery.

With increasing development, a changing climate, invasive fish introductions, angler exploitation and state-sponsored and private stocking, New Hampshire’s wild native brook trout face an uphill battle, with most populations now relegated to small headwater streams.

The one thing New Hampshire’s wild native brook trout have going for them is the Wild Trout Management program. With science-based inclusion criteria and best-in-class protections, it is one of the finest wild trout management programs in the country. Unfortunately, New Hampshire’s Wild Trout Management program is in trouble.

After adding 16 waters, three small ponds and 13 streams, between 2003 and 2006, New Hampshire Fish and Game has not added any new waters to the program in 13 years, according to information from Fish and Game.

Equally concerning is that there are no WTM waters in Pittsburg, a regionally known recreational fishing destination, and while there are two small ponds designated as WTM waters, there are no streams so designated in White Mountain National Forest, the state’s largest protected public land. Worse is that at least two Wild Trout Management waters are being actively stocked, a prohibition under the program, and roughly 15 years after being so designated, according to Fish and Game. Another was accidentally stocked. And one water lost its protective regulations in 2016 due to a clerical error, and they were not restored until 2019.

A request by the New Hampshire chapter of Native Fish Coalition to address the lack of formal signage on the state’s Wild Trout Management waters by posting signs using outside funding and volunteer resources was denied by New Hampshire Fish and Game.

New Hampshire’s wild native brook trout, the official state freshwater fish, deserve better protection than they are getting. It’s time to expand, not roll back or abandon, the Wild Trout Management program. The program protects fish, saves money and provides a type of fishing not found in most New Hampshire waters: wild native fish.

NEWS & NOTES

Budget deal On Sept. 25, Gov. Chris Sununu (R) signed a compromise state budget into law, according to news releases from Sununu and the House and Senate, bringing an end to a near-month-long impasse between Sununu and the Democratically-controlled legislature over the biennium budget. The $12.96 billion budget represents a slight dip from the $13.1 billion budget that Sununu initially vetoed in June, according to NHPR, and preserves the debated business tax cuts if tax revenues continue to meet projections. Sununu and Democrats celebrated the compromise in news releases, with the governor stating the budget “held the line on taxes, returned cash to cities and towns” and Sen. Lou D’Allesandro (D) noting that the budget protects increases for education and municipal aid.

More vetoes Gov. Chris Sununu shattered his record-breaking number of 2019 vetoes once again last week, according to two veto messages from Sununu’s office. Bringing the total pieces of legislation he’s killed last year to 57, the governor vetoed both HB 213 and HB 226 on Sept. 27. HB 213 would have removed the state from the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program, a multistate initiative that aims to reduce voter fraud by allowing states to share voters’ names and dates of birth in order to identify voters who have moved and eliminate duplicate voter registrations. In his veto message, Sununu said HB 213 would have placed “unreasonable restrictions on the Secretary of State’s ability to determine the best voter registration sharing arrangement.” HB 226 would have made Granite State teachers eligi-

ble for tenure after three years, rather than the current five years. In his veto message, Sununu said HB 226 would place a burden on schools without granting enough time for local officials to “know if new teachers are the right fit for their schools.”

Bow power plant Police arrested 67 people for trespassing on Sept. 28 during a protest calling for the shut down of the Merrimack Station coal-fired power plant in Bow, according to the Union Leader. Approximately 300 people were on site for the “No Coal, No Gas” rally, organized in part by the national Climate Disobedience Center. According to a CDC news release, it is the last large coal plant in New England without a scheduled shutdown date, and protesters threatened to remove all coal from the plant’s fuel pile “bucket-by-bucket.”

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX State leads in speeding deaths

New Hampshire is one of the worst states for speeding deaths, according to a newly released study from Driving-Tests.org. The data used in the study comes from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which indicated that New Hampshire had the ninth most speeding deaths per capita in 2017 with 4.30 deaths per 100,000 residents. The findings further spelled out that rural roads with a speed limit of 55 miles per hour account for twice as many speeding deaths as any other road type and that Sunday was the worst day of the week for speeding deaths.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: According to Driving-Tests.org’s findings, the most dangerous times to be on the road are between midnight and 2 a.m. for the morning hours and between 9 and 11 p.m. in the evening.

New Hampshire lags behind for teachers

According to a newly released study from WalletHub, New Hampshire is one of the absolute worst states for teachers. In the website’s ranking of all 50 states and the District of Columbia, New Hampshire sat at 50th place, second to last place next to Arizona. According to WalletHub, the methodology measured the stated across two overarching dimensions of “Opportunity & Competition” and “Academic & Work Environment” as well as 23 seperate sub-metrics that included average starting salary, average pension, public school enrollment growth, public school spending per student and teacher union strength.

Score: -1 Comment: The news wasn’t entirely bad for the Granite State, according to WalletHub, with the report’s findings showing that New Hampshire had the fifth lowest pupil-to-teacher ratio in the country.

New England air quality up

New findings from the Environmental Protection Agency show that both New Hampshire and New England’s air quality at large are showing marked signs of improvement. According to a Sept. 25 Associated Press report, central New Hampshire has seen a downturn in levels of sulfur dioxide, a gas that occurs naturally from volcanic activity but is more commonly associated with the incineration of fossil fuels. According to the EPA, the sulfur dioxide reduction is credited to the 2012 installation of a sulfur dioxide emission control system at Bow’s Merrimack Station coalfired power plant in 2012. The upgrades led to a 98-percent reduction in sulfur dioxide from the station, reports the AP. Score: +1 Comment: According to the National Park Service, high concentrations of sulfur dioxide in the air can adversely impact lung function, aggravate asthma attacks and worsen heart disease in certain at-risk groups.

Number of children in poverty on the rise

The number of Granite State children living in concentrated poverty has nearly doubled between 2012 and 2017, according to new research from the Annie E. Casey foundation. According to a Kids Count data snapshot released by the foundation on Sept. 24, approximately 5,000 children ages 0-17 in New Hampshire between 2012-2017 were categorized as living in concentrated poverty (defined as a census tract with an overall poverty rate of 20 percent or more). This is an increase from the 3,000 children that were found to be in concentrated poverty between 2008-2012.

Score: -1 Comment: According to the report, the nationwide rate of children living in concentrated poverty shrunk by 8 percent between 2008 and 2017.

QOL score: 81 Net change: -2 QOL this week: 79 124615

So I got into this incredible three-day argument on Facebook with a cast of thousands last week after my college friend John Garner posted his alltime Red Sox team.

Over 100 comments helped advance the debate, some of which were done by me just to stoke the ire of the highly Red Sox Nation majority. Like saying I’d take Manny Ramirez over John’s choices for left field and right handed DH. Manny over Yaz was like lighting the fuse on a stick of dynamite of baseball outrage. To which I must say, in the words of Dan Aykroyd’s Ray Zalinsky in Tommy Boy, gaaaaid I love that!

Since this exercise seemed to be much more fun in the final week of the baseball season than the under-performing and highly disappointing Red Sox were at the bitter end, I thought I’d share his team, my comments about his and some alternatives to some of his picks. First, understand John is like the town crier of my FB account, constantly posting news updates and historical tidbits from the Civil War, WWII, presidential elections and his hero from days gone by, Teddy Roosevelt. Trust me, it’s an endless supply that generally has me saying this guy’s got too much time on his hands.

But it’s also fun, interesting and informative. The latest example of which is his all-time Red Sox team: P – Pedro Martinez: It’s hard to think of anyone else because he was so good.

Despite more wins (192 to 117) I long ago picked Pedro over Roger Clemens for his greater dominance and Roger mailing it in those last four years here. There’s also the 2.52 ERA during the height of the PED era.

My Choice – Cy Young. It’s amazing how little respect someone who won 511 games gets. That’s almost 100 more than No. 2 alltime Walter Johnson and 300 more than Pedro. In Boston he threw the AL’s first

perfect game, the first World Series pitch ever, he won 33 and 32 games in his first two Boston years, while tying Roger for the team high of 192. Pedro’s .760 to .667 winning percentage is much better, but 75 more wins in just one more local season puts Cy on top.

1B – Jimmy Foxx: He was great from 1936 to 1941 and his .325-50-175 season of 1938 is better than anything even Williams, Yaz, Papi or Manny did. So I agree until later in the column.

2B – Bobby Doerr: There was some chatter on Dustin Pedroia, who was an MVP and a great fielder. But Doerr had 223 homers, six 100-RBI seasons and 500 more overall than Pedroia in the same number of seasons. Plus he’s in the Hall and Petey won’t be. Agreed.

SS – Nomar Garciaparra: It’s still so vivid how great he was winning two batting titles (.357 and .372), hitting .323 overall with four 100-plus RBI seasons, being the only one with two 50-double seasons and looking like a lock for the Hall. But it ended badly thanks to idiot agent Arne Tellum souring his attitude during contract negotiations. Plus it’s hard to forget it all turned around in 2004 when he got traded for the steadier-fielding Orlando Cabrera.

The totally forgotten Joe Cronin is in the Hall and Nomar’s not, but big years with Washington helped that and Nomar was pedestrian after Fenway. See me in 10 on Xander Bogaerts, but for now it’s Nomar.

3B – Wade Boggs: Maybe not if Jeff Bagwell wasn’t traded, but until Rafael Devers possibly gets there, five batting titles, seven straight 200-hit seasons, six times getting on base 300 times and the .338 Boston average wins the day.

OF – Ted Williams: On my best day, even I couldn’t make an argument to keep him off. Agree.

OF – Tris Speaker: You can make a credible case he’s the best Red Sox player of all time as he was the best player on the best team of baseball’s first 20 years. He has the

most doubles in history, was a sensational center fielder and the .338 average in Boston (.345 overall) speak for itself. Agree.

OF – Carl Yastrzemski: He was a first baseman/DH longer than a left fielder (where he was sensational but loses out to Williams) and his numbers are aided by longevity. But being able to grind that long says a lot about the kind of gritty player he was and in 1967 he was the most indispensable player to any team I’ve ever seen. He plays right here, because can you imagine Manny playing there in Fenway? Yikes.

Agree.

C – Carlton Fisk: Outside of Jason Varitek no one is close. His ‘I hate the Yankees’ persona helped drive the ’70s edition of the great rivalry and there’s the iconic ’75 series homer. Agree.

Lefty DH – David Ortiz: I’d put him at first base, where he’d win over Foxx on longevity, three Series wins and for all those gigantic hits, because it gets Manny in the line-up.

Righty DH – Jim Rice: At his peak Rice was the AL’s most intimidating hitter and the 1978 MVP. My Choice – Manny Ramirez. Ortiz didn’t become Big Papi until he started hitting in front of the fearsome Manny, who won a batting title while hitting .312 in Boston with seven 100-RBI seasons in eight and had just 100 less (274) than Rice in half the games.

Manager – Terry Francona: It’s hard to argue against him with ending the curse and winning again in 2007. All done while having to coax the best out of crazy Manny.

My Addition – Lefty Pitcher – The Babe: They haven’t gone since 1953 with a lefty winning 20 for nothing. The last was the solid Mel Parnell, but Babe won 93 games in five seasons and was on track for 300 before getting sold to you know who.

Plus he was 3-0 in the World Series when he set a record with 29 consecutive scoreless innings.

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S PEOPLE, PLACES & OTHER STUFF

Londonderry tops Pinkerton The Big Story: Londonderry’s 42-24 win over Pinkerton Academy on Friday was 18 years in the making. The school’s first win over its next-door neighbor since 2001 was sparked by a sensational 35-point first half performance that suggested they were ready to end the 22-game losing streak. Londonderry’s Jeff Wiedenfeld scored twice on one- and two-yard plunges while QB Jake McEachern threw for two scores and ran 10 yards for another. Overall McEachern passed for 174 on just five completions with the TD passes going to Alex Tsetsilas (28 yards) and Cole Keegan (58 yards). The win moved the Lancers to 4-0 while Pinkerton dropped to 2-2.

Sports 101: On this day in 1984 this player became the second of the three-member club to hit a home run as a teenager and after they turned 40. Name those three players.

D-I Soccer Bragging Rights Game of the Week: Also to Londonderry, but this time in soccer when they moved to 8-0 while handing Bedford its first loss in a 4-0 decision when Alyssa Anderson, Lea Baum, Darby Dupuis and Olivia Stowell each had a pair of goals each while Jasmine Richards had a six-save shutout.

Play of the Week: It was a wild one that

came with just 10 seconds left in Windham’s 28-21 win over Central. It started on the Windham 28 with a 21-yard Bobby Dicicco to the seven, where he fumbled and ended as the ball bounced, rolled and tumbled forward into the end zone where Mason Belsky wound up with it in a swarm of bodies to give the Jaguars the win and Central a heartbreaking loss.

Nick of Tyme Award: Nashua North’s Lucas Cummings for nailing a 33-yard field goal as time expired to give the 4-0 Titans a 31-28 statement game win that dropped perennial power Exeter to 3-1 in Division I football.

Sports 101 Answer: The three to homer as a teenager and after turning 40 are Ty Cobb, Rusty Staub on this day in 1984 and Gary Sheffield.

On This Day in Sports – Oct. 3: 1955 – Twenty-year-old Detroit outfielder Al Kaline becomes the youngest batting champ. 1956 – Brooklyn’s Sal Maglie no-hits Philadelphia, just 10 days before he was the opposing pitcher when Yankee Don Larsen threw a perfect game in the only World Series no-hitter ever.

1981 – Nolan Ryan throws the fifth of his seven career no-hitters as Astros beat Dodgers.

Sports Glossary

John Garner: Not to be confused with FDR’s first VP John Nance Garner. Instead, the person most responsible for Plymouth State footballer Joe Dudek winding up on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1985. I mean, besides Joe himself. That came when as its SID he bombarded media outlets far and wide as Joe approached Walter Payton’s all-time college record for career TDs. That led SI’s Rick Reilly to name Joe as his choice for the Heisman Trophy over fellow cover story guys Bo (don’t know) JACK-son and Iowa QB Chuck Long (no relation). SPOILER ALERT – he didn’t win, Bo did, while we haven’t heard from Chuck since. Before that, the versatile Garner was the babysitter for young Chip Kelly (yes, that one), brother Keith and the rest of the Kelly clan at their summer home in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

Tommy Boy: Classic gross-out 1995 comedy featuring SNL’ers David Spade and the late Chris Farley. Most memorable line: “That’s gonna leave a mark.” Best line: “The bees are eating our flesh,” said trying to scare off the cops about to arrest them.

Joe Cronin: Hall of Famer who was first Red Sox shortstop, then player-manager, then general manager and eventually president of the American League.

Arne Tellum: Delusional sports agent who actually said on This Week With David Brinkley Latrell Sprewell was “the victim” after his fingers mysteriously were wrapped around the neck of ex-SNHU basketball coach PJ Carlesimo in a post-practice dust-up when he was coaching Golden State.

Nachos

Local chefs chip in their tricks for making this comfort food classic

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

When Hooksett native Keith Girard was hired as executive chef of 603 Brewery earlier this year to create an original food menu for its new Beer Hall, he knew there had to be some form of nachos available as shareable plates. In fact, nachos were what he pitched to the staff during his interviewing process.

“I’ve been making nachos ever since I was a kid. My best friends and I … would have sleepovers where we’d play video games and make nachos all night long,” Girard said. “So nachos was always something that I knew would be on the menu boards.”

Girard has tried all types of meat, cheese and vegetable toppings over the years when making nachos at home. But it was his fondness for Korean flavors, along with the opportunity to incorporate beer into his recipes, that eventually resulted in 603 Brewery’s Korean short rib nachos. They feature corn tortillas fried in house, with beef short ribs braised in 603’s red Winni ale and a mixture of cheeses, and finished with sesame avocado cream and a kimchi beer cheese that usually utilizes one of the brewery’s IPAs. It’s an innovative take on the popular TexMex comfort dish, but Girard said that’s the beauty of nachos — they are completely customizable.

“It’s a blank canvas. They are chips,” Girard said. “You can do basically whatever you want with them, make any flavors that you want. It’s really fun.”

With dozens of restaurants, breweries and food trucks across southern New Hampshire offering nachos as appetizers — and some even as whole meals — there’s a ton of room for creativity. From the types of cheeses you may want to use, to any meats and vegetables you’ll load them up with, local chefs and restaurant managers have chipped in on ways to best line up your nachos with your individual palate.

Where the chips fall

The key to good nachos, according to Sean Oswald of the Merrimack-based Nacho Average Wingz food truck, is all in the quality of the chip.

HIPPO | OCTOBER 3 - 9, 2019 | PAGE 12

“The chip you’re using … has to stand up to the toppings,” he said. “You can’t have something that’s going to get all soggy and flop over when it’s all cooked.”

That’s why Oswald will hand-cut and fry his own chips to order every time. Using corn tortillas, he’ll cut them up into fourths, fry them on the truck and load them up with any toppings of your choosing, including meats like bacon, Mojo chicken and braised pork, and vegetables like onions, tomatoes, mushrooms and jalapenos. The available cheeses include cheddar, American, pepper jack and colby jack. Oswald added that he will also soon begin implementing a smoked IPA cheese sauce, made from the Burn the Ships beer from Able Ebenezer Brewing Co. in Merrimack, where the truck appears every Sunday and Tuesday.

“I like to keep everything as fresh as possible, and especially in a food truck, regular tortilla chips tend to get crushed up, they get thrown around and you get crumbs everywhere,” he said. “People have actually told me the next day, when they toss my nachos in the microwave, that the chip is still crunchy.”

The chips are also hand-cut and fried fresh daily at Hermanos Cocina Mexicana in Concord, where general manager Melissa Thompson said anywhere between 30 and 50 percent of its food business on a given day consists of nachos. All of the restaurant’s nacho dishes feature a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, or you can substitute Daiya-brand vegan mozzarella.

“There used to be an entire page on our menu of just nachos, but we were looking to streamline it … to make it a bit easier to read,” she said. “It’s kind of like a pizza menu now, where there are examples of specialty nachos, or you can add or take off whatever you like or don’t like, to customize it any way you want.”

Most of the specialty nachos options are named after Hermanos employees, like “Rebecca’s,” a vegetarian option that has black beans, avocado slices, tomatoes, jalapenos, scallions and cilantro. But the most popular nachos, according to Thompson, are the chicken and garlic, which feature jalapenos, cheese and a house garlic dressing.

“The chicken is slow-cooked … so you get a nice shredded and moist chicken on there,” she said. “The garlic dressing we put on top afterwards, and it’s actually the same as what we use on our salads. We sell it by the container [for people to] use it as a marinade or for nachos at home.”

Hermanos has also started offering ovenready nachos for purchase to take home and heat up yourself, an option that Thompson said has increased in popularity recently. The chips, cheeses and add-ons are all pre-assembled and placed in a tin pan with a plastic lid. All you have to do is remove the lid, slide it right in the oven and it’s ready in a matter of minutes.

“The thing about nachos is that they just don’t hold the heat really well,” she said. “So if you’re ordering takeout and travelling to your house, the oven-ready nachos are really a nice option.”

At Stark Brewing Co. in Manchester, multiple versions of its Brewhouse Nachos are available, using chili, hamburger meat, steak or chicken as protein options, and a blend of cheddar Jack and Mexican cheeses. Stark owner Peter Telge said a brisket option for nachos will also soon be added to the menu.

“We make our own chips and then add a little bit of spice on them,” he said. “We put one layer of chips on, then cheese and another layer of chips and cheese on top of that, plus whatever toppings you’re getting. So it’s quite hearty.”

The Farm Bar & Grille, which has locations in Manchester, Dover and Essex, Mass., handcuts its tortilla chips and hand-shreds its own Vermont cheddar cheese, according to co-owner Brad Atkinson. Those nachos are loaded with slow-smoked pulled pork, house pico de gallo and a drizzle of homemade barbecue sauce.

“We ... take whole pork butts, smoke and dry rub them, and then pull out all the fat,” Atkinson said. “For the cheese, we actually take giant blocks of Vermont cheddar that we shred down.”

The original “Nacho”

Multiple sources trace the popularity of melting cheese on tortilla chips and serving them as a snack back to World War II-era Mexico.

According to the American Heritage Dictionary

of the English Language, “nacho” is actually a nickname for the man himself who is credited with inventing them, Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya.

In The Oxford Companion to American Food & Drink, a food encyclopedia published

by Oxford University Press, editor Andrew P. Smith writes that Anaya worked for the old Victory Club restaurant in the city of Piedras Negras, Mexico, located just over the international border from Eagle Pass, Texas. In 1943, Anaya, a maître d’hôtel, assembled the first plate of nachos for a large group of guests by frying tostadas with grated cheese and placing jalapeno slices on top. They became known as “Nacho’s especiales” (Nacho’s specials) before being shortened to just “nachos.” Smith writes that the prevalence of nachos began to spread first to Texas and then across the United States during the 1960s.

Eventually the prevalence of the dish evolved from just chips, jalapenos and one type of melted cheese to the customizable options widely available today. For example, after much experimentation over the years with different cheeses and toppings, Girard realized he likes to use a blend of more than one cheese on his nachos.

The short rib nachos at 603 Brewery feature both shredded cheddar and a Mexican cheese called queso Chihuahua.

“A lot of people refer to the Chihuahua as quesadilla cheese, because it gives that you really nice pull and stringy effect that you want,” Girard said. “It’s really creamy … and it just has a nice balance of flavor.”

All jalapeno business

How you make your nachos at home is all going to come down to personal preference, but there are several steps you can take to maximize the quality of whatever flavors you’re working with. Girard said he prefers to bake his nachos in the oven as opposed to broiling them. But if you like having more of a browning of cheese across the top of your chip, as Thompson said she does, you can go with a broil.

The best thing you can do, Girard said, is to make sure there’s an even distribution of whatever toppings you want on your nachos by assembling them in a single layer on a sheet pan.

Lack of Intimacy Due to Pain & Dryness?

“The moment you start piling the chips up, you’re going to end up with chips that have nothing on them,” he said. “When we were kids we used to line each chip out to maximize the space, so that we would get the most amount of nachos in a single layer. I always put foil down over my pan, too, for an easy cleanup.”

Oswald said a combination of shredded cheese and cheese sauce also works well for home baked nachos. If you’re ambitious, you can buy a block of cheese and shred it yourself.

“It’s like a pizza. It keeps everything nice and even,” Oswald said. “The cheese [tends to] solidify fast … but the cheese sauce keeps everything kind of melted.”

ARTS A woman’s voice

Theatre KAPOW performs Atwood’s twist on the Odyssey

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

See Homer’s Odyssey in a new light as Theatre KAPOW presents The Penelopiad, a women’s retelling of the epic Greek poem, on stage now through Oct. 6 at the Stockbridge Theatre in Derry.

The Penelopiad kicks off the Manchester-based company’s 12th season, marked by the tongue-in-cheek theme “That’s What She Said,” which is to feature impactful works written exclusively by female playwrights.

The play is based on the 2005 novella by Canadian author of The Handmaid’s Tale Margaret Atwood, published by Canongate Books as part of the Canongate Myth Series, which challenged authors to write novellas that reimagine ancient myths.

“Atwood is at her peak right now because of The Handmaid’s Tale show [on Hulu], and she just had a new book come out,” director Matthew Cahoon said, “so we’re excited to share this piece of work with her fans and show people something different that she has done.”

Penelope, wife of the Greek hero Odysseus and the story’s primary narrator, speaks from the afterlife in Hades. “Now that I’m dead I know everything,” she begins. Atwood states in the novella’s introduction that the story uses “mythic material not used in the Odyssey, such as Penelope’s childhood, her marriage and the slanderous rumours about her.”

“Penelope is left responsible for the homestead while Odysseus is away at the Trojan War, so it’s very much about what was hap-

pening at home while he was away,” Cahoon said.

Penelope is joined by the collective voice of her 12 maids, also residing in Hades, who were hanged at the end of the Odyssey.

In the introduction, Atwood adds, “The hanging of these maids bothered me when I first read the Odyssey as a teenager, and it bothers me still, as it is so excessive in relation to anything they actually did.”

“The Penelopiad is Atwood’s way of trying to answer the questions about what happened to Penelope’s maids and why they ended up being hung,” Cahoon said.

Atwood herself adapted the novella for

the stage, incorporating elements of music, poetry and movement. The production features lyrics for four songs including a sea shanty, a lullaby and ballads. However, there is no official music to accompany the lyrics, leaving the musical composition in the hands of the performing companies.

Theatre KAPOW recruited Jake Hudgins, a recent graduate of Boston University’s music program, to compose music for the four songs, and Lorraine Chapman of Boston to develop original choreography and movement. “[The songs] are truly amazing, because you’re starting with Atwood’s words, which

“Combine that with what Jake, who is very talented, has done with the music, and the strong singers in our cast, and the music is quite beautiful.”

Something else unique about the piece, Cahoon said, is that it is performed by an all-female cast.

“That’s a super cool thing that Atwood does. Even the male characters are played by women,” he said. “It’s a really compelling way of handling the storytelling.”

Other upcoming productions in Theatre KAPOW’s 12th season include Pride and Prejudice, adapted by Kate Hamill from the novel by Jane Austen, in February and Stage Kiss by Sarah Ruhl in May. The company will also continue its ARTiculate Playreading Series, a partnership with the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester in which the company reads new or rarely produced plays that relate to special exhibitions at the museum or objects or artists in the museum’s permanent collection.

Johnston has spent much of his life outside of the U.S., including time drawing in Paris. He currently lives on the Great Bay and enjoys drawing farms, towns and the Portsmouth harbor. “For this exhibit, I show my work as a traveler in France and New Hampshire,” Johnston said in a press release.

“My work is both representational and interpretive. My subjects invite contrasting approaches.” Shulman grew up in Manhattan and spent 16 summers in the Catskills. His paintings are based in reality, but shaped through the use of memory and dream. “Strong colors bring my journey – physical, emotional - to life; compositions that catch the eye through perspective distortion draw attention to the painting’s subject,” Shulman said in a press release.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE Get into gear

Steampunk group hosts its first steampunk festival

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Don your corsets and top hats and head to the first annual Machen Bachen Steampunk Festival, hosted by New Hampshire-based steampunk group Citizens of Antiford, on Saturday, Oct. 5, at the YMCA’s Camp Lincoln in Kingston. There will be all kinds of steampunk fun, including games, vendors, a costume showcase, food, presentations and more.

Justin Thibault, one of the group’s leaders, defines steampunk as “anachronistic, retro, futuristic science fiction that utilizes the time period of the industrial revolution.”

Citizens of Antiford has held an annual steampunk cookout for its members for the past six years and decided to “ramp things up” this year, Thibault said, by holding a full-blown steampunk festival and promoting it to the public.

“It’s something we’ve always wanted to do and to bring to the community,” he said. “There are currently a couple of events in Massachusetts, one in Maine and one in Vermont, and there used to be one in New Hampshire a number of years ago, so we thought it would be a good idea to bring something back to New Hampshire, since there has been a desire from the New Hampshire steampunk community to have something more local.”

One of the highlights of the festival will be the costume showcase, where people can “show off their costumes and strut their

stuff,” Thibault said.

“They run from a simple vest and top hat to the full gowns with corsets and gears, mechanical lenses and hot air balloon backpacks,” he said. “What’s nice is, whether you go in a simple outfit or do something crazy and creative, everyone is welcome and appreciated.”

Another event that is sure to be popular, Thibault said, is the teapot race. In the sport of teapot racing, participants mount a teapot or teapot-related accessories onto a small, remote-controlled car and race them. There will be two main contests: the drag race, which is a standard race, and an obstacle course race, where the participant who completes the obstacle course in the fastest time wins. Anyone can participate and no signup

is required; just come to the festival with your teapot race car built and ready to go.

Teapot racing is a perfect example of what steampunk is all about, Thibault said, because it combines a vintage object with modern technology and mechanics.

“It’s fun putting those two things together and getting creative with it,” he said. “People come up with some really elaborate and crazy stuff.”

The festival will feature a variety of performers who will dance, sing, do magic, act, tell stories and more.

Attendees can participate in lawn games such as cornhole, ladderball and a game known as “koob.”

“It’s an interesting game,” Thibault said.

“Basically, it’s like viking chess. Instead of

A small craft fair with around four or five vendors will be set up with handmade upcycled jewelry, feltwork, art illustrations, sculptures and more for sale. You can also grab lunch from the Prime Time Grilled Cheese food truck.

Additionally, there will be two presentations: an informational panel about Citizens of Antiford and a demonstration by one of the performance groups, Karnevil.

Citizens of Antiford was started in 2010 by a small group of friends and steampunk enthusiasts in New Hampshire. Now, it’s a community of more than 100 steampunk fans from around New England who write collaborative fiction about the imaginary steampunk universe that they created called Antiford.

“For anyone who is interested [in Citizens of Antiford], [the festival] will be a great way to learn about us — who we are, what we do, how to join and participate — and see if [joining] is something they might like to do,” Thibault said.

I have to admit that I don’t pay much attention to my lawn. I mow it as needed, but don’t fuss about dandelions, which I consider cheerful. But many gardeners do care about their lawns, so I will share with you a few tips for the fall.

There are often places on lawns where someone left a wading pool or forgot a pile of weeds.

Now is a good time to re-seed. Why? The soil is warmer than in the spring, and it is less likely to dry out now than in the summer.

To fill in a bare spot, first scuff the area with a garden rake — the kind with strong, short tines.

Then spread some good compost, perhaps half an inch of it. Mix that in with your rake. Compost encourages healthy bacteria and fungi to live in the soil, supporting your lawn.

Next, spread seed over the area. For small areas, you can just take seed in your hand and fling it. Seed spreaders are sold if you have a large area. After seeding, drag a lawn rake over the area upside down — with the tips of the tines up. That will mix the seed with the soil and compost, but not rake the seed away the way it would if the tines were down. Pat down the area with a tamper, your feet, or a lawn roller if you can get your hands on one.

There are special fertilizers available for lawns, but I’m not a fan of chemical fertilizers for a number of reasons: they are made with chemicals that are not suitable for organic gardeners.

Some are even combined with pesticides of various types — to prevent weeds, insects, grubs, fungus or moss. Even organic fertilizers need to be used with care: phosphorous (the middle number in the 5-10-5 designation) is prohibited in any lawn fertilizer in many states because phosphorous can cause problems in waterways.

Some people like to shade the newly planted area by spreading a thin layer of mulch hay or straw. That helps to keep the new seed from drying out in the sun. The grass will grow right through it. Be sure to water if the soil starts to dry out. It is critical to keep the seeds from drying out once planted.

Over-seeding is good to do now, too. That means adding some seed to thin places, not just those bare spots. Follow the same procedure: scuff, add compost, seed, mix in with your rake.

What seed should you use? I generally recommend a “conservation mix.” This has a mixture of varieties of tough grasses including tall fescue. I like Dutch white clover in the mix, as it will take nitrogen from the air and add it to the soil. Clover, however, is killed by the herbicides sold to kill weeds in lawns. Kentucky bluegrass is sometimes touted as the best grass for lawns, but it is a high maintenance variety, and should never be more than 20 percent of a mix.

If you have trees shading your lawn, get lawn seed designated for shady areas. If not, it will not thrive. And over time, a sunny lawn often becomes a shady lawn as trees along the perim-

eter get bigger. Maples steal a lot of water and nutrients from a lawn, and their roots extend way past their drip line.

What should you do about moss in the lawn in shady spots? I like it. You can let it take over, or you can rake it out and add limestone to sweeten the soil — moss likes acidic soil. And I guess you have to cut down some trees or lop off branches to get more sun on those mossy places. Me? I live with it. I’ve seen labels on bags on “Death Row” (the chemical aisle at the garden center) that promise “No More Moss for a Year” and shudder at thoughts of my earthworms and beneficial fungi and bacteria dying from the moss killer. Ugh! Fall is a good time to send off a soil sample to your state university extension service to see what the soil is like in your lawn. If the soil pH is less than six, you should add some limestone this fall. It will raise the number, but slowly, so it’s good to do it now. The report will tell you how much limestone to add, and should also tell you if you need to add organic matter, phosphorous, potassium or magnesium. If you are low on magnesium, buy dolomitic limestone, not calcitic limestone.

If you walk across the lawn in the same path every day, eventually the grass will get so compacted it will stop growing, particularly if you walk on it when the grass is wet. The solution?

Put down stepping stones or pavers as lawn will not thrive in compacted soil.

If you plan to put down stones, cut out the grass underneath them first. Do this by using an old steak knife. Cut around a stone, then move it and dig out the sod and any soil needed so that the stone will be about level with the lawn. I like a CobraHead weeder for that. By having the stones level with the lawn you can mow over it without hitting them with the mower.

Fall leaves are great for the grass. Put the mulcher attachment on your mower to chop them up fine, starting now, and let the earthworms feast on them. Don’t leave too thick a layer, however, as it can choke the grass.

A little lawn is a nice thing. But my philosophy is this: If it’s green and you can mow it, it’s a lawn. I’ll never get hung up on having a magazine-perfect lawn.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE TREASURE HUNT

CALL FOR ARTISTS Small Works - BIG IMPACT Show Registration due October 18th!

Dear Mary, Stamps are a tough subject for me but I tried to do research for you. Wow, it was tough! I thought it would be easy.

I did find a site online after searching for many sites about stamps, but it too turned out to be a dead end because it required that you pay for a membership. Sometimes not finding values can be a good thing for rarity, but it could also mean too many were made and are not worth any more than the stamp value for postage.

But this has piqued my interest enough to try to reach out to readers and see if we could get some help. Valuable or not, at this point I want to learn as well. So if anyone can help us with any information about this Old Man in the Mountain stamp with “New Hampshire Fire Insurance Co. Manchester NH” on it please let me know.

Mary, I hope this will help us figure this out. I will update as soon as I hear or can find out more myself. This is a real treasure hunt!

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

I don’t want to take my parents’ Crown Vic to college

By Ray Magliozzi

Dear Car Talk: I’m just starting college, and my parents have agreed to buy me a used car.

They were going to give me their car, but I don’t want it.

It’s a Crown Victo-

ria. Get serious.

I want something big enough to carry four people, capable of hauling my mountain bike and fun to drive.

What do you recommend? —Alden

A Crown Vic, Alden. You’ve heard the expression “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”? Well, my advice would be don’t look a gift Crown Vic in the engine compartment.

You may not realize this, but the Crown Vic is so uncool that it’s cool. I’ll lay out the advantages.

First of all, it’s going to be reliable.

Your parents were the original owners and not only drove it gently, but probably took good care of it, too. That’s going to save you a ton of money.

Money that could be better spent on

textbooks and Donkey Kong.

Plus, there will probably be a guilt factor involved if anything does go wrong.

If the engine compression plummets — before your GPA does — they may say, “Oh, gee, Alden, we gave you a car with bad compression. We’ll take care of that for you, son.”

Second, a Crown Vic is large, and all things being equal, larger is safer. Since you’re presumably going to be driving long distances to school and back, I’d certainly rather see you in something with some bulk around it than something smaller and “fun.”

Third, it’s versatile. I bet your mountain bike will slide right into the back seat. It’ll carry you and four classmates to the library on Saturday night (right!), and the trunk will swallow an entire dorm’s worth of empty kegs.

Finally, your friends are going to admire it. It’s not the average Corolla or Subaru that most students bring to college. It’s a cruiser. It’s comfortable.

Your friends are going to want to go out in your Crown Vic instead of stuffing themselves into their Honda Civic.

And if all that doesn’t make it cool, you can mount an auxiliary spotlight to

the driver’s door and watch the traffic move out of the way for you when you cruise home ... if you don’t get arrested for impersonating an officer.

Dear Car Talk: I recently learned that my mechanic has been filling my 2008 Chevy Impala with 5 quarts of oil, instead of the recommended 4.

I’ve also noticed an oil leak, which my mechanic attributes to a bad manifold gasket or head gasket.

Could overfilling the oil have caused these gaskets to leak? It’s a 3.9 liter six-cylinder engine with 104,000 miles on it. — Michael

No. It sure would be nice to blame this guy, wouldn’t it, Michael? But overfilling the crankcase by 1 quart is not likely to cause any problem whatsoever.

Not that we make a habit of it at the garage, but that happens sometimes.

The mechanic should have checked both the oil capacity and the dipstick.

But he may have assumed that a large, six-cylinder engine like yours would hold more than 4 quarts. Most of them do.

But your oil leak was caused by those 104,000 miles you put on the car. And it could be a big job to fix.

If you need to do both cylinder heads, you could be looking at well over $1,000.

Even if it’s just the manifold gasket, it could cost several hundred bucks, which is still not cheap.

So, unless it’s leaking a lot of oil, you may want to apply the technique of “watchful waiting.” That’s the program my wife has me on.

It involves three steps: 1. Keeping a close eye on the oil level. 2. Topping it up whenever it’s low, and 3. Putting a piece of cardboard on your garage floor before it looks like the Exxon Valdez has been dry-docked in there.

If you’re losing less than a quart every 800-1,000 miles, you can even bypass the cardboard box, because you’ll be losing a drop every few miles on the interstate.

And if that’s the case, this leak is of little consequence. It’s possible that something much worse will befall this car before the leak ever has a chance to become a mechanical threat.

I would say say soccer. I was born in London, England, and my parents moved from there to America when I was 2. When in London, they lived in an apartment building across from Stamford Bridge, Chelsea Football Club stadium. The past 10 years or so, soccer has piqued my interest — watching it or playing recreationaly.

A fall tradition in the town of Hollis for more than five decades, the Hollis Apple Festival features homemade apple desserts and ciders to celebrate the peak of apple-picking season. The event is one of the longest-running apple festivals in New Hampshire, returning for its 52nd year to Monument Square on the Hollis Town Common on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Although the Hollis Woman’s Club is not organizing the event this year, the apples

will live on thanks to new sponsor the Hollis-Brookline Junior Cavaliers organization.

They’ll be joining the Hollis Town Band to bring the usual apple-themed desserts that have always been available at the festival in the past, according to event publicity chairman Martin Schwartz.

Desserts will include apple crisp, apple pies and vanilla ice cream from the Doc Davis Ice Cream Stand, which has locations in both Brookline and Pepperell, Mass. Festival visitors will have the choice to order a bowl of just plain ice cream, pie or apple crisp, a bowl of apple crisp with ice cream or

a bowl of pie à la mode.

“Both the apple crisp and the pies are homemade,” he said. “The pies are baked by members of the Town Band … and members of the Junior Cavaliers are making the apple crisp this year.”

Prices vary depending on what you are getting, Schwartz said.

While the Junior Cavaliers will be selling the desserts at the tables, the Hollis Town Band will provide a full afternoon worth of live entertainment. This year, they’ll be playing both Broadway and popular music hits, APPLES LIVE ON CONTINUED ON 35

Fright with flights

Anheuser-Busch to host new Halloween experience

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

After the success of its holiday-themed Brewery Lights, Anheuser-Busch Tour Center and Biergarten in Merrimack will now be home to some spooky experiences during the all-new Brewery Frights. Every Friday through Sunday, from Oct. 11 to Oct. 27, the brewery will transform into a Halloween haunt for beer enthusiasts and families alike, with hay bale mazes, “boo-wery” tours, pumpkin-painting and more.

“It’s definitely a family-friendly event … [and] the goal was to reach people of all ages,” said Carla Reardon, assistant manager of Merrimack Brewery Experiences at Anheuser-Busch. “This is the very first Brewery Frights and it’s exclusive to [our] Merrimack [location], which is pretty cool.”

Every feature of Brewery Frights, according to Reardon, is within walking distance across the property, extending past the Biergarten and down into the fields. Food trucks courtesy of Anne Marie’s Catering will be set up outside the Biergarten, offering fair foods like cotton candy, fried dough, candy apples, pizza and more. Anheuser-Busch will also be providing hot and cold cider, S’mores kits, miniature doughnuts, Halloween cookies and beer for sale. There will also be hay bale mazes, with the opportunity to try traversing through them with a pair of 3D glasses.

Teens and adults can check out the “Cobweb Corridor,” a darkened self-guided pathway that will lead to the “Haunted Hop Farm.” There, you’ll find a display of several fake gravestones featuring “beers from past years,” Reardon said, or in other words, beers

that were once produced by the brewery but have been discontinued.

“It’s basically like the ‘final resting place’ for beers that were once enjoyed by many but are no longer with us,” she said.

From 4 to 7 p.m. each evening during Brewery Frights, Anheuser-Busch will offer Halloween-themed “boo-wery” tours, which will be decked out in Halloween décor and include free beer samples for those over 21.

“At each stop on the tour, the guide will ask guests some trivia questions, some related to Halloween and some that are linked to our actual brewery process,” Reardon said.

“They’ll get a signature glass at the door too.”

Other features of Brewery Frights will include pumpkin-painting, skeleton face-painting, and music courtesy of DJs Jess Riley and Nick Mascioli of Get Down Tonight Entertainment.

From now through Sunday, Oct. 6, the Biergarten is also offering an Oktoberfest menu of German-inspired items, like warm Bavarian pretzels, kartoffelpuffer (German potato pancakes), grilled bratwurst over seasoned sauerkraut, and German chocolate cake.

Brewery Frights When: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, Oct. 11 through Oct. 27, 5 to 9 p.m.

Where: Anheuser-Busch Tour Center & Biergarten, 221 Daniel Webster Highway, Merrimack Cost: $15 for adults per day (includes one beer per ticket) and $10 per day for attendees under 21.

including tunes from The Beach Boys and Chicago, as well as music from The Incredibles and Frozen and legendary composers Andrew Lloyd Webber and George Gershwin. A few soloists will perform too as part of the set.

“We’ll also have the popular raffle for someone to have a chance to lead the band for the song ‘Stars & Stripes Forever,’” Schwartz said.

Lull and Brookdale Fruit Farms, both within walking distance of the Town Common, will once again be open for pick-your-own apples during and after the festival. Schwartz said that in the event of rain, the desserts will be sold just up the hill, inside Hollis-Brookline Middle School (25 Main St., Hollis).

Proceeds will benefit scholarships and charitable activities in the area.

A Weight Loss Program that Really Works!

Hello, October! Before we get into all things pumpkin (because how can it be October if we don’t do some cooking with pumpkins?), it’s time for another apple recipe.

Apples may make you think of sweet stuff: pies, crisps, etc. But apples also work wonderfully in many a savory dish. I’ve used them for bruschetta, in broccoli slaw, as stuffing for winter squash and more. This week they’ve become part of a tasty little appetizer.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of appetizers, but I suppose that seems like a silly statement. Most people like them, right? However, I enjoy them so much that I often prefer an appetizer over an entrée at a restaurant. Many a night out, I debate which appetizer will become my main course.

Of course, appetizers also top my list as the preferred way to eat on a Sunday at home. I love a Sunday that’s light on plans, spent in my kitchen making homemade snacks. I get time to be creative with food, and I also get an assortment of snacks. To me that’s a pretty decent use of time on a Sunday afternoon.

This recipe was part of an appetizer menu at home a few weeks ago. They were devoured fairly quickly by my husband and me. Yes, they were delicious, but they’re also incredibly simple to make, which isn’t a bad thing.

Even better, you can do all the prep work Apple Cheddar Pinwheels Makes 24

In searching for alternatives to serve with that special roast chicken or that steak grilled to perfection, stop to take in the offerings at the Price Busters racks at the New Hampshire Wine & Liquor Outlet.

Study the bottles. Take a leap of faith on something new and different. After all, there are plenty of chardonnays and even plenty of sauvignon blancs on the shelves, but amongst them is a gem — a white blend that is Bordeaux in its style and offering a distinctive taste. There are plenty of cabernet sauvignons, but few wholly organic cabernet sauvignons from Spain.

DeLille Cellars Chaleur Blanc, 2015, (regularly priced at $34.99, and reduced to $17.99) is a white blend of 73 percent sauvignon blanc and 27 percent semillon.

DeLille Cellars, founded in 1992 by brothers Charles and Greg Lill, Jay Soloff, and celebrated winemaker Chris Upchurch, is a boutique artisan winery located in Woodinville, Washington, about 30 minutes northeast of Seattle. DeLille sources its grapes from several vineyards, located in the Yakima and Columbia River valleys, 120 to 180 miles southeast of Seattle.

These locations produce some of the finest grapes for the production of wines.

Some of the vineyards planted here predate many in Napa by decades.

In 1995 the team at DeLille chose to make a barrel-fermented blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon for their first white wine: DeLille’s Chaleur Estate Blanc. This wine has more complexity, diverse aromas and classic structure than many white varietal wines. The grapes are hand harvested and sorted, whole cluster pressed, with the juice fermented mostly in French oak for seven months on lees (spent yeast) prior to bottling. The color is straw-white; its nose opens with air and begins to yield a scent of preserved lemons and lemon drops. The taste is buttery and citric, of lemon rind, along with a bit of ginger on the back of the tongue. The finish is long. This wine pairs well with grilled poultry, fish dressed with brown butter, or shellfish with drawn butter, and rich, medium aged cow’s and sheep’s milk cheeses. This is a distinctive wine and a welcome change from the otherwise “typical whites.”

Los Frailes G-11 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2014, (regularly priced at $29.99, and reduced to $14.99) hails from Valencia Province, Spain. Casa Los Frailes takes its name from “Cals Frares” in the Valencian language, referring to the Jesu-

its who originally owned the estate. The Velázquez family acquired the estate in the 18th century, and it has been under their stewardship for 13 generations. The land has been cultivated since Roman times.

Amphora have been unearthed and are still being used, along with equally early-dated concrete tanks in the production of the wines, in lieu of wooden barrels to obtain a bouquet that is as pure as possible.

Spanish wines are underrated, and this wine is no exception. It comes from a family-owned estate of over 400 acres of vineyards with 40+-year-old vines, almond and olive trees, and some forest.

It sits between two mountain ranges at about 2,000 feet above sea level, just 20 miles from the Mediterranean seacoast.

The climate is very dry and the soils are very chalky, forcing the vineyard roots to go deep in search of water and nutrients.

The estate fosters biodiversity. In addition to the fruit-bearing trees, the estate keeps sheep, chickens and bees. Casa Los Frailes was certified organic in 2000, being one of the first ones in Spain.

The wine is explosive! The color is a deep, thick purple, with huge aromas of preserves or compote. A massive palate follows of black cherries, cassis and dark chocolate. The finish is long, with fine tannins, or a bit of leather from the 12 to 18 months of aging in French barrels.

This wine will stand up to any Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon.

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.

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Capilla Ardiente, The Siege (High Roller Records)

This metal five-piece comes to us from Chile, which has actually been home to a few good bands, none of which I can recall right now, but as you’d probably guess from the country’s history, the place could always use some anger management triage. I was taken aback to find that this is album No. 2 of some cockamamie concept involving invading ships, but again, I suppose it makes sense in the historical context. Without any argument, this is ’80s tape-trader power metal, not a thrashing mud-monster attack. There are four 15-odd-minute-long tunes making up this full-length, always a hard trick for both bands to write and fans to stay awake through, but it’s all quality stuff, like, think what Mercyful Fate would have sounded like if they’d been influenced by early Mastodon and they hadn’t been a joke band. (Aw, come on, can we not say that by now? Walk it off, there, bro.) A — Eric W. Saeger

Metronomy, Metronomy Forever (Because Music)

This fits well in a dance-electro niche that’s forgotten both Scissor Sisters’ disco and Klaxons’ nu-rave; matter of fact, this British band is (or was, it’s claimed) a nu-rave outfit themselves, and it’s a sign of maturity that they’ve abandoned that flash-in-the-pan genre in favor of, well, just plain good-sounding stuff, whatever feels right. Bandleader Joseph Mount has remixed songs from a lot of artists, including Franz Ferdinand, Zero 7 and Lady Gaga, and from the sound of this new fulllength, getting neck-deep into such a wide range of sounds obviously influenced this slight change in musical direction. I mean, sound-wise, the mid-Aughts approach is still part of the package, as is plain to hear on album opener “Wedding Bells.” The tune has enough buzzy indie-tronics to go around, and certainly evokes Grizzly Bear upping their ProTools game in order to appeal to people who dig Stranger Things (which is just about everyone, isn’t it?). It’s all catchy without being goofy: “Walking in the Dark” is ’70s waiting-room radio-pop from Jupiter; “Lately” is a thorough and magical dousing of ’80s-Casio cheese. A — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • For the Oct. 4 release dump, Chicago-based Wilco returns after a three-year break with a new album, Ode to Joy! When last we left them, they had put out Shmilco, an album that was a lot more accessible than previous ones, full of Dylan/Beatles-drizzled folk-pop-rawk and chill guitar-tronica stuff; it may have single-handedly spurred the movement away from indie rock’s no-hooks wave, and for that alone it is very nutritional for you. So this new album, whose title would seem ironic as the apocalypse gets closer every day, isn’t another Kodak glimpse into Jeff Tweedy’s culturally barren childhood like Shmilco was, it’s instead Tweedy’s plea to people to stop putting so much of themselves into politics and Twitter and all that stuff, to just stick to the small amount they can spare between dealing with all the crises and joys of everyday life. I’d say he’s got a good point there, even if I personally would have titled the album The Internet Sucks And You Need to Snap Your Phone in Half, but that’s just me, and besides, no one would do it anyway. But whatever, anyway, you don’t care about lyrical themes that have short shelf-lives; you want to know what exactly is going on here, with the music on this new rock ’n’ roll album, like its single “Love Is Everywhere (Beware).” Quite frankly it’s an awesome song, a low-slung strum-fest colored prettily by an organic Lindsey Buckingam-style fractal rendered by Nels’ guitar. I love it, and you will too.

• Hmm, here’s some singing dude named Mika, who was born in Beirut, Lebanon! He has a new album called My Name Is Michael Holbrook, which actually is indeed his name, but let’s not get into it, because I’m already bored with the whole thing. He made some sort of hilariously disposable bubblegum tune called “Popular Song,” a duet with Ariana Grande, in 2012, and that’s the last the U.S. charts have heard from him, unless you know something I don’t. “Tiny Love” is the single, a piano-pop thing that sounds ’70s at times and Monkees at others. Wait, my God, he’s literally ripping off “Bohemian Rhapsody” here, totally. Get this thing out of my face before I get its stupid icky song-ripping-off cooties.

• You’re killing me. Really, a new album from Zeppelin-wannabe fraudster-dunces The Darkness? Yes, and this album is titled Easter Is Cancelled, because Christmas is coming, or somesuch, who knows what goes through these guys’ minds, you know? OK, I suppose I should … no, NO. I don’t want to listen to this single, “Rock and Roll Deserves to Die,” because they’re the ones who killed it! Ack, ack, it’s worse than ever, that stupid screamy voice and Saxon guitar riffs, but this time there’s a mandolin! Ack, this is literally the worst thing in the world.

• WIVES is some band from someplace. Their debut LP, So Removed, fronts a single, “The 20 Teens,” that sounds like Lou Reed on a no-wave trip. It’s boring but not bad.

Last year’s Vox Pop Poetry Slam Tournament. Photo credit C. Hartman photography/Clark Hartman.

Additionally, there will be poetry and spoken word writing and performance workshops on Saturday before the tournament, led by special guest poets and open to all experience levels.

“We don’t want people to feel alienated,” Palos said. “We try to make it accessible for people who are just getting into writing, but also engaging and useful to someone who has been doing this for a long time.”

There is a misconception, Palos said, that slam poetry is a genre or style of poetry, but really, it’s “a competition structure that places a focus on the craft and the performance” of the poems. It’s also designed to be more engaging to reach a wider demographic.

“An average audience member, someone who isn’t necessarily an academic in poetry, can get something out of it because of the way it is presented with passion,” he said. “The one thing everyone can relate to is passion.”

Slam Free or Die, started in 2005, is a slam series for spoken word artists and poets held every Thursday in the private function room at Stark Brewing Co. Every event, all-ages and open to the public, features an open mike followed by a featured poet or poets and slams, with competitive and qualifying poetry slams held several times a month.

Top local and regional spoken word artists and poets will go head to head in a battle of words when Slam Free or Die hosts its annual Vox Pop Poetry Slam Tournament at Stark Brewing Co. in Manchester on Friday, Oct. 4, and Saturday, Oct. 5.

Now in its seventh year, Vox Pop, which gets its name from the Latin phrase vox populi, meaning “the voice of the people,” remains New Hampshire’s largest poetry slam tournament. In addition to the main event on Saturday night, there will be poetry writing and performance workshops on Saturday morning and afternoon, plus a slam on Friday night to assemble one more last-minute team to compete in the tournament. Everything is open to the public and all ages.

“It shares some similarities to normal slams, but we threw in some changes and monkey wrenches to free up the artists to bring the poetry that they want to bring to the stage,” Mark Palos, co-director for Slam Free or Die, said.

In the tournament, eight teams will compete in two four-team bouts. The two highest-scoring teams from each bout will then advance to the three-bout “Deathmatch,” where one team will walk away with the grand prize of $1,200. The runner-up will take home $300.

Something unique about Vox Pop, Palos said, is that the teams are “pick-up” teams, meaning the poets can choose their own teammates as opposed to being put together based on the results of the competition, which is the way teams are formed in traditional slams.

“It allows the poets to assemble their dream teams and work with other poets who they wouldn’t normally get to work with,” he said.

“It gives the poets more freedom, creatively.”

While most traditional slams give each poet a three-minute time limit, Vox Pop gives each team 12 minutes total so they can divvy up the time the way they choose.

“The three-minute time limit doesn’t give every poet a chance to say what they want to say,” Palos said. “Some poets write longer poems that just can’t be cut down, or else the poem is robbed of its meaning.”

The judges are randomly selected audience members; the only qualification needed is that they do not know any of the competing poets.

Volunteers are also welcome, and anyone who volunteers to be a judge can attend the event for free until enough judges are gathered. For the Deathmatch, the crowd reaction, meaning the loudest cheer, will determine the winner.

Though seven of the eight teams are already assembled, there will be a “Last Chance Slam” on Friday night — something new this year — where eight individual poets will face off in a slam, and four of them will be selected to form the eighth team.

POP CULTURE BOOKS

A Particular Kind of Black Man, by Tope Folarin (Simon & Schuster, 261 pages) They are geographically diverse, but Utah and New Hampshire have a few things in common: great skiing and high melanoma rates.

Both are also noticeably white, about 90 percent, even though the minority population is slowly increasing. The city of Manchester, for example, reports that more than 70 languages are spoken in the homes of schoolchildren.

This is reason enough to pick up a copy of A Particular Kind of Black Man, a remarkable debut novel by Nigeran-American Tope Folarin. Drawn from his experiences growing up as an immigrant in mostly white, mostly Mormon Utah, the book is an education for people who dwell in the oblivious safety of majority, camaraderie for those who don’t have that privilege.

The novel opens with a memory of the narrator, Tunde (pronounced Tune-Day), who, at 5 years old, was befriended by an elderly woman who told him kindly, “If you are a good boy here on earth, you can serve me in heaven.”

To the child, that sounded wonderful. “I imagined myself carrying buckets of water for her on streets of gold, rubbing her feet as angels sang praises in the background.

I imagine that I’d have my own heavenly shack. I’d have time to do my own personal heavenly things as well.”

It wasn’t until Tunde told his father about his post-earth plans that he realized there was something horribly wrong with the idea.

This was the first in a long line of indignities hurled at the child and his immigrant family by well-meaning people who had little exposure to people who weren’t like them. Another is a child on the playground trying to rub the brown off Tunde’s skin, and then bursting into tears when he realized he couldn’t. However, these atrocities, many of which were derived from experiences the author had in childhood, are not the point of the novel; identity is. Which is why A Particular Kind of Black Man is a novel for anyone, regardless of skin color.

The white people around Tunde see him only as black, or more specifically, African-American. But his parents are from Nigeria, and they see him as Nigerian.

Tunde, himself, however, doesn’t identify as anything, growing up as he does without the benefit of a stable family or community.

His troubled mother soon returns to Nigeria, and his father remarries and moves the family frequently in order to scratch out a hard-scrabble living. The father is determined to achieve the American dream and believes that to do so, he and his sons must exorcise any trace of foreignness and learn to speak in a perfect American dialect. But despite the

father’s enthusiasm for this adopted country, he is frequently mocked or ignored.

As Tunde later reflects, his father survived by “staring ahead always, kicking the pain and heartache away.”

“This was how he was able to survive the torment of living in a place that never fully comprehended his presence, that sometimes treated him as if he were someone who would never really matter.”

Midway through the book, the narration changes from first to third person, as Tunde tries to come to grips with his identity by deciding to write about his life as a detached observer. He eventually falls in love, and changes yet again, as does the writing, in surprising, beautiful ways.

Though the hardships endured by the family are difficult to read, and Tunde experiences significant loss, the novel is ultimately uplifting, and its language is gorgeous, the story, taut, elegant and compelling. The reader cares about Tunde from the first haunting page, and the book is as hard to put down as a thriller.

Ultimately, Tunde’s struggle is not about the cretins who surround him, but about what to do when he realizes that “the person I see in the mirror is the person I’m supposed to be, and not the person I actually am.”

It’s also to figure out where the elusive place called “home” is. For Tunde, as for most people, “home” has meant many things over the course of his life, but like a river, it’s constantly changing. “Home, in my mind, was a jumble of the places I’d lived. … The place I missed did not even exist,” Tunde thinks.

A Particular Kind of Black Man is one of the best books of 2019. It punches both the heart and the brain through the eyes of people who may be nothing like you but actually are exactly like you. As such, it’s exactly the book that America needs at this particular moment in time. A+ — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Judy (PG-13)

Renée Zellweger goes for that lead actress Oscar with Judy, a Judy Garland biopic that might very well get her there.

Is it the best lead actress performance of the year? I wouldn’t give an immediate “yes” (Julianne Moore in Gloria Bell springs to mind) but I wouldn’t say “no” either. And it definitely seems like one of the Oscar-iest lead actress performances I’ve seen so far in 2019.

Zellweger’s Judy is the entertainer at the end of her career; we catch up with her in the late 1960s when she’s performing concerts, sometimes bringing her young children (Bella Ramsey as Lorna Luft and Lewin Lloyd as Joey Luft) on stage. Off-stage, she seems exhausted — a description which also applies to her financial state. When the hotel where she was staying informs her that her items have been sent to storage and her account is in arrears, she extremely reluctantly takes her children to their father Sidney Luft’s (Rufus Sewall) house. Without a lot of great options — she can’t get hired for films, we’re told, because of her erratic behavior — she agrees to travel to London to do a run of shows that may at least earn her the funds to buy a small house and regain more regular custody of her children.

London is happy to have her, as evidenced by the sold-out shows (I think the movie tells us they’re sold out; Wikipedia says the real-life five-week run of shows was indeed sold out). But even keeping it together for this engagement is difficult for Garland. She has trouble sleeping and has a life-long history of drug use (uppers to keep her going, sleeping pills that seem not to work so well anymore) and alcohol abuse as well as a kind of crushing loneliness, which perhaps explains why she is so quick to fall for Mickey Deans (Finn Wittrock). A man she first meets at daughter Liza’s (Gemma-Leah Devereux) house, Mickey is younger than Garland and is some kind of bar-owner club prompter type whose vague big dreams would seem like a big red flag for somebody with more confidence. Garland, however, just seems delighted with the attention and is charmed (and lacking in suspicion) when he shows up to London.

How an obvious massive talent got so tangled up in her own insecurity is explained in flashbacks where Wizard of Oz/MGM-era Judy (Darci

Shaw) is manipulated by the studio system, personified by Louis B. Mayer (Richard Cordery).

Mayer and the studio tell young Judy that she’s fat and not all that pretty. A minder keeps her fake dates with Mickey Rooney not only chaste but food-free — Judy’s big act of youthful rebellion is taking a bite of hamburger (and later, at a fake birthday party, she takes an equally rebellious dip in the fake pool; wet hair means a delay in the studio’s shooting schedule). When she gets tired or hungry, young Judy is given a pill. When she wants to halt the grind, Mayer creepily reminds her that she’s replaceable.

These scenes for me are interesting but don’t entirely gel; they underline things that we can infer from adult Judy’s stories and behavior. I almost felt like the scenes were a sign of the movie’s own lack of faith in the strength of Zellweger’s performance or the late-Judy scenes to tell the story of who she is. It was during these flashbacks and the transitions between flashbacks and late-era Judy that I felt the movie was at its messiest.

The scenes of Zellweger’s Judy are truly the movie’s best. While elements of her performance do have that “for your Oscar consideration” feel to them (some of the portrayals of Garland’s performance mannerisms worked as organic behaviors of the character and some felt like Zellweger doing a Garland impression), the adult Judy scenes really do give you a strong sense of who this woman is. (At least, who this movie’s Judy character is; I don’t know enough about the real person to say that this is a historically accurate rendering of people and events.) Judy’s motivations and ambitions are fascinatingly portrayed. She clearly, genuinely wants to be with her children and to find a way to provide for them — not just financially but to obtain the kind of stability that she knows they need. She desperately wants to be with them but isn’t so selfish that she can’t see and understand their needs. It’s a nice bit of nuance, as is Judy’s desires for and ambivalence about her own career. We see her come alive in front of an audience; she can pull herself together in front of a crowd better than at any other moment. But what exactly she wants her career to look like (other than “profitable”) isn’t something that even she seems all that sure about. These moments, of the woman considering her own life, are Zellweger’s best. She really

Judy

is able to produce a performance that doesn’t just hinge on a wig and some familiar songs. B+ Rated PG-13 for substance abuse, thematic content, some strong language and smoking, according to the MPAA. Directed by Rupert Goold with a screenplay by Tom Edge, Judy is an hour and 58 minutes long and distributed by Roadside Attractions.

Abominable (PG)

A girl and her buddies help a wayward Yeti get home to Everest in Abominable, a sweet and inoffensive animated movie for, er, 8- to 11-year-olds?

It’s not quite silly enough to appeal to younger kids and there are elements of scariness (plus you have that animated movie classic, the dead parent). It’s not quite transcendent enough, either in animation or story, to appeal to a more general audience of movie-goers. It has basically good lessons and it doesn’t smack you in the face with jokiness; I feel like when your kid, in six or so months, tells you that they saw this during afterschool care, you can feel A-OK about it and also won’t feel like you missed an opportunity to share some magical film experience.

Perhaps the neatest element of the film (not “oh, wow, see it now!” but, you know, “hey, neat!”) is the geography. The story takes place in China (starting in the city of Shanghai, according to Wikipedia) and the characters travel across

China to get to the Himalayas. We see artistic renderings of a wide swath of China and its various landscapes without a lot of over-explanation; the movie takes a very “this is happening in the world and you’ll figure it out” approach to its locales, which is nice. It also allows for some very pretty renderings of different locations, which help keep you engaged if, like, Yeti burps aren’t your jam.

Yi (voice of Chloe Bennet) is a teenage girl who lives with her mother (voice of Michelle Wong) and grandmother (voice of Tsai Chin) and is mourning the recent-ish loss of her father.

I get the sense that she’s a little younger than also-teenage Jin (voice Tenzing Norgay Trainor), a multiple-girlfriend-having, fashion-conscious med-school-bound cool guy who is too busy to hang out with his goofy younger cousin Peng (Albert Tsai), who reads as middle-school-ish to me. All these kids live in the same apartment complex and are therefore varying levels of proximity friends.

Yi spends her days doing a series of odd jobs to earn money to take the cross-country trip that had been the dream of her late father. She is also probably avoiding her mother and grandmother because she’s still not sure how to deal with the hole in her family. Thus, even when she is home, she spends her time in a sheets-and-pillows fortress of solitude she’s made for herself on the building’s roof.

It’s here that she meets the creature eventually called Everest. Early in the movie, we watch furry white Everest escape from a lab/holding pen/personal zoo of Mr. Burnish (voice of Eddie Izzard), a rich, cranky explorer type. The Yeti was being looked after by Dr. Zara (voice of Sarah Paulson), a zoologist or something. Burnish, Zara and his personal security army are eager to recapture Everest but Yi quickly understands that this sweet-natured Yeti just wants to go home. She decides to help him escape Burnish’s clutches and helps him stow away on a boat headed Everest-ward. Because you need wacky sidekicks in this sort of endeavor, Jin and Peng also wind up coming along.

The basic bones of this story — Yi and pals helping Everest get home — aren’t bad. I do feel at times that the movie isn’t always sure what to do with Jin and Peng and how much separate character arc it wants them each to have.

The movie for me gets muddled with Burnish

I’m committed to delivering first-class

and Zara, who both bring about 50 percent more plot than is needed. Streamlining either or both of these characters would improve the movie’s momentum (and get rid of some unnecessary menace; there’s discussion of Everest basically getting sold for parts and inference that the kids are also in mortal peril, neither of which is really necessary for the plot).

Overall, Abominable is pleasant if not revolu-

SHORT FILMS The Manhattan Short Film Festival starts its run at NHTI in Concord (Sweeney Hall Auditorium, 31 College Drive; nhti.edu) tonight with a screening at 7 p.m. and continues tomorrow (Oct. 5) with screenings at 2 and 7 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 6, with a screening at 2 p.m. Admission costs $10. Manhattan Short lets you play festival jury; 10 short films are screened and you vote for the best film and best actor. This year, no film is over 20 minutes long and seven are under 15 minutes long. The films come from seven different countries and this year all are live action. I sampled a few (thanks to the festival’s local organizers) and particularly liked Driving Lessons, an entry from Iran that clocks in at just under 13 minutes. It’s a good example of a way to tell a short story; the filmmaker builds tension to a final event, kind of like a lead-up to a punchline. But, to hold interest, the movie needs to have little moments along the way that offer character or situation insights — which this movie does very well and with a nice bit of humor.

I also enjoyed At the End of the World, a sweet romance in a grim apocalyptic setting. This one demonstrated how you can tell basically a genre story without expensive special effects.

In late 1968, The Beatles released an eponymous double record that quickly became known as The White Album. A brilliant and infuriating work, it was the product of a band in disintegration, though over a half century later it’s mostly revered for moments like “Blackbird,” “Back in the U.S.S.R.” and the pure John Lennon/ Paul McCartney collaboration “Birthday.” This is true even as the noisy stew of “Revolution #9” or the first-ever presence of a guest player (Eric Clapton, on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”) still vexes a few listeners.

Whatever its faults, The White Album is still a Beatles record, and thus ripe for revival. So the team behind the successful Hippiefest and Happy Together tours assembled a group of late ’60s luminaries to play most of it live. Todd Rundgren and Micky Dolenz are the biggest names, but Badfinger guitarist Joey Molland is more closely connected to the Fab Four, having played on solo projects with each member, in addition to being in the first band signed by Apple Records.

Rounding out the supergroup are Christopher Cross, better known for yacht rock, and Jason Scheff, a member of Chicago since 1985, when he replaced Peter Cetera. Everyone will play a couple of their own selections, but the show is about the iconic two-disc set, Micky Dolenz insisted in a recent phone interview.

“They’re still jiggling around the set list and all that, but it’s 80 percent White Album,” Dolenz said, adding that he planned to perform “Pleasant Valley Sunday” and “I’m a Believer” when the show stops in Concord on Sunday, Oct. 6.

According to Dolenz, when The Monkees premiered in 1966, it was with an eye toward John, Paul, George and Ringo.

“It was a TV show about a group who wanted to be The Beatles,” he said, pointing out with a trademark laugh, “we had a poster of them up on the set that we threw darts at.”

The show reflected countless young musi-

cians who were striving for the same thing, Dolenz said.

“Kids around the world who were in their basements, garages and living rooms … that’s what The Monkees show is about. It’s important to note that we never made it — it was the struggle for success.”

Though they were a made-for-television band, Dolenz bristles at the “Prefab Four” label many saddled on them at the time.

“That’s just inaccurate,” he said — musical talent was essential to winning the role.

“You had to be able to sing, act, do comedy, improvisation and play an instrument,” he said.

“My audition piece was ‘Johnny B. Goode’ by Chuck Berry … so the producers must have had in mind that if we actually did get a sale off the pilot, we would go on the road.”

Tour they did — first and famously with Jimi Hendrix as an opening — and soon they were clamoring to make their own music.

“Mike Nesmith has always said when that happened, it was like Pinocchio becoming a real boy,” he said. “I think, ‘Hey, that is so accurate.’”

Dolenz also noted that while modern shows like Glee and Fame feature “people that could sing and dance and actually do it, when the Monkees came out it was virtually unheard of.”

As a Monkee, he got to pal around with the Beatles, even spending time at Abbey Road stu-

dio during the creation of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

“I went to the tracking session for ‘Good Morning Good Morning,’ which I remember very clearly, and I was at the big finale thing,” he said. “I think I was at another one. … Pretty heady days.”

Much to Dolenz’s surprise, John Lennon turned out to be an admirer of the show — for its comedy.

“He was the first one I ever heard say that out loud, ‘I like the Monkees, I like the Marx Brothers,’” he said, calling it an apt description.

“It was like a little bit of musical theater in a way on television … singing, dancing, comedy and schtick and a bad guy and a chase and a this and a that, and that’s what The Monkees was. I don’t believe the general public will ever come around to understanding that.”

Where: Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S. Main St., Concord Tickets: $49.50 and up at ccanh.com Stars Christopher Cross, Todd Rundgren, Micky Dolenz, Jason Scheff (Chicago) and Joey Molland (Badfinger)

A Trumbull County (Ohio) sheriff’s deputy pulled over an Amish buggy on Donley Road early on the morning of Sept. 15 after the officer noticed a few oddities about the vehicle. For one, there were two Amish men inside who were drinking, and on the buggy’s roof rode a 12-pack of beer. And, according to Fox 8, the old-fashioned conveyance sported an unlikely modern convenience: a stereo system with large speakers. As soon as the buggy came to a stop, the two men jumped out and escaped into heavy woods near the road. Meanwhile, the horse, trailing the buggy, took off. The officer was able to catch up with the horse and have the buggy towed; the drivers were still at large. The buggy “is a vehicle, it’s on the roadway and the ... laws do apply,” said Chief Deputy Joe Dragovich. “You’re not allowed to drink and drive or operate a buggy.”

Seemed like a good idea at the time

• The Tennessee Titans were all fired up for their NFL home opener on Sept. 15 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. Accordingly, so was some of their pyrotechnic equipment — which caught fire during player introductions, spreading flames and thick, black smoke near one end zone. According to Bleacher Report, no one was hurt, and flames were extinguished quickly. But the NFL, taking its usual proactive stance, placed a ban on “all flame effects and pyrotechnics used on its playing fields” until an investigation can be completed.

• Police arrived at the home of Vernelle Jackson, 83, in Norway, Maine, on Sept. 17, inquiring about the whereabouts of another unnamed woman in her 80s who had reportedly lived with Jackson. As police excavated the back yard and the story unfolded, Jackson admitted to authorities and WMTW News 8 that she was the one who buried the woman, about 18 months ago. “She begged me when she passed away that she didn’t have enough insurance to bury her, and I don’t have it. And she said, ‘Will you promise me to bury me in your yard so I’ll be close?’ ... I finally agreed to do it to satisfy her,” Jackson explained.

“I put her in a tarp. I didn’t carry her. I have COPD. I couldn’t breathe that good.” She was surprised to learn that she would have needed a permit to legally bury her friend in her yard, and she’s still unclear whether she’s in trouble with the law. The State Medical Examiner’s office is working to ID the body and determine the cause of death.

Two football-crazed fans of Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes couldn’t quite pull off a heist in Lawrence, Kansas, on Sept.

16. Pulling up to a McDonald’s, the two ran inside, grabbed a life-size cardboard cutout of Mahomes and ran out, stuffing the promotional piece into their car. Lawrence Police

spokesman Patrick Compton told the Lawrence Journal-World that as they received the call about the theft, they were working a car crash nearby — in which one of the vehicles just happened to have a Mahomes cutout in the back seat. Officers questioned the suspects and ordered them to appear for alleged theft. Flat Pat was returned to the McDonald’s.

Bright idea

Paul Nixon, 51, is sought in Harris County, Texas, on charges of felony aggravated perjury after taking a novel approach to divorce.

Nixon filed for divorce in February but forged his wife’s signature and the name of a notary on the legal papers, the New York Post reported. A judge declared the divorce final in April — but the wife didn’t find out until May, when she noticed strange spending habits of his. “She started finding things showing that he was spending money on jewelry, so she confronted him and he told her that they were actually divorced,” Constable Mark Herman said. “They are still married. The fraudulent divorce papers have been retracted.” However, Nixon, who could face 10 years in prison, had so far eluded police.

Compelling explanation

Kristine, 45, and Michael, 43, Barnett of Lafayette, Indiana, adopted a 6-yearold Ukrainian-born girl, Natalia Grace, with dwarfism in 2010. Nine years later, much to their confusion, they are charged with abandoning her. Within their first few weeks as a family, the Barnetts noticed that Natalia seemed to be older than they had been told, with a sophisticated vocabulary, pubic hair and menstrual periods. A doctor ordered bone density tests to check her age, and results suggested she was at least 14. So they began to treat her like a teenager. Then, the Barnetts claim, Natalia began making death threats against them. At a psychiatric hospital where she was treated, she told doctors she was much older and wanted to kill her family. “She was standing over people in the middle of the night. We had to hide all the sharp objects,” Kristine Barnett told The Daily Mail. In 2012, they legally changed her age (from 8 to 22) and helped her get benefits so she could continue to receive psychiatric care, and in 2013, with Natalia living independently in an apartment, the Barnetts and their son moved to Canada. Soon after, they lost touch with the girl. But inexplicably, a second set of bone density tests, performed in 2010, surfaced, arguing that Natalia was at that time just 8 years old, and she told police herself in 2014 that she had been “left alone” when her parents moved to Canada. Michael and Kristine Barnett surrendered to the Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Department on Sept. 18 and 19, charged with abandonment of Natalia.
