Insights sometimes come at the oddest moments or in unusual circumstances. Last Sunday, an appropriate day for it, one came from a most unexpected place: my gym. It prompted a different way for me, an old professor of religious studies, to think about religious practice. There on a Sunday morning, while many others were likely at their places of worship, a different sort of congregation was gathered. Although we all came from different walks of life, and probably were of different or no religious heritage, we were, after a manner of speaking, engaged in an activity remarkably similar to religious practice. One could say that religious practice (and I do stress “practice” as it is a continuing series of repetitions) is to achieve a stage of spiritual fitness, whether that is defined as union with a transcendent being, a holistic view of the cosmos, or a commitment to a particular purpose in life that will be fulfilling. My fellow gym-goers were, as was I, looking to achieve physical fitness and perhaps psychological well-being along the way. Each of us was quietly working away at our particular practice: using a machine, running on a treadmill, lifting weights, doing reps. Although we were working individually, we shared a common purpose: namely, to bring ourselves to the best physical state we can. In all my years of using a gym or workout club, I have never witnessed one person criticizing or ridiculing another’s particular exercise. Instead, there is a respect that each of us does what she or he can relative to the condition each of us is in or limitations we have. It is a venue committed to development, not to competition. Some places even post on their walls that this is a “No Judgment Zone.” How liberating yet reassuring that is! In short, we all recognize that there are many pathways to physical fitness and it is demeaning and disrespectful to dismiss or, worse, to ridicule those of others, or to insist that there is only one way. Coincidentally, my gym has a large picture window, opposite some of the machines, that affords a fine view of a cemetery. If the religious impulse is sometimes motivated by contemplation of the Four Last Things (Death, Judgment, Heaven or Hell), my gym certainly provides its own kind of powerful incentive. This is not a perfect comparison, but it does give pause. Stephen Reno is the executive director of Leadership New Hampshire and former chancellor of the University System of New Hampshire.

FRANKLIN SAVINGS BANK EMPLOYEES
All minimum wage employees of Franklin Savings Bank got an early Christmas present this year when the company upped the pay for all of is minimum wage employees from $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour, according to a news release from the bank. The pay bump went into effect on Oct. 1 to coincide with a new fiscal year but was not formally announced until Oct. 30.

Granite State drivers want roads maintained and traffic reduced, according to comments at recent public hearings held by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation to gather input for the state’s 10-year transportation plan. “The three themes that seem to be rising to the top from a public perspective is the need to maintain what we have, keep the roads as safe as possible and, as [much as] is reasonable, try to reduce congestion,” said Bill Watson, planning and community assistance administrator for the transportation department. Granite Staters have the opportunity to weigh in on the state’s 2021-2030 plan through an online survey through Nov. 12. Watson said the department allocates approximately 75 percent of its $668 million operational budget to maintaining current infrastructure through highway maintenance, pavement resurfacing and bridge rehabilitation. He said differences in priorities tend to arise when people want quicker action on local projects or increased access to public transportation, two areas that face funding constraints. “These are things that we typically hear every couple of years when we do these hearings,” said Watson. “What we learned is that the department along with its partners [in regional planning commissions] need to be spending a lot more time educating our citizens and our business owners about how funding is and can be available through the state to help transportation projects.” In the plan’s current draft form, improvements in and around the Manchester metro area represent some of the department’s costliest improvements over the course of the next decade. Examples include reconstruction and widening of I-293’s Exit 6 for a total cost of nearly $98 million between 2025 and 2028, and reconstruction of the Everett Turnpike’s Exit 7 for a cost of a little more than $50 million between 2024 and 2026. With New Hampshire’s Constitution designating all transportation-related taxes and fees, such as gas taxes and toll revenue, to roadway maintenance and construction, funding for pubPolitics This Week continued from page shire campaign staff, according to a Nov. 5 report from WMUR-TV. The report says all staffers in South Carolina will be let go as well as the campaign reallocates resources to focus on the Iowa caucuses and Nevada primary. Thus far, Castro’s campaign has not announced when or if he will file for candidacy in the New Hampshire primary. The filing deadline is Nov. 15, according to sos.nh.gov. • Sen. Kamala Harris: California Sen. Harris (D-CA) closed three of her four Granite State campaign offices (in Nashua, Portsmouth and Keene) and laid off all of her New Hampshire field organizers, according to her campaign. Additionally, Politico reports that Harris will file by mail or dis-
lic transportation is limited to what is allocated from the general fund by the state legislature. But those transportation-related taxes and fees for road projects in the state’s highway fund face problems of their own; increasing fuel-efficiency of vehicles has meant less money from gas taxes, according to the department’s 2019 House Finance Committee presentation. The department reports a $22.6 million decrease in gas tax revenue between 2008 and 2019, a period of time that saw the average fuel economy for a new vehicle go from 21.8 miles per gallon to 24.7 miles per gallon, according to the federal Department of Transportation. “Rather than basing revenue on the miles of fuel that you purchase at the pump, should you be basing your payment for use of the road based on the number of miles you actually drive? Should there be a surcharge on an electric vehicle or a hybrid? They create as much wear and tear on the road as a gas equivalent, but they don’t have to buy as much fuel to get as far as they do,” Watson said. Watson said that those options would require a heavy political lift in Concord. In April 2018, Gov. Chris Sununu threatened to veto a fee on fuel-efficient cars proposed by the state House of Representatives. Watson, a 26-year veteran of the department, said they will continue to find ways to maintain the state’s roadways with whatever resources they are given, but he admits it will get harder over the next 10 years as inflation, increased need and declining revenues from gas taxes push the department to its limits. “I would say that we’re doing the best we can, maybe C+ or B- work, given the resources we have available,” Watson said. “But it’s not going to stay that good unless there are additional resources that can come our way. We really think we have done as much to be as effective and efficient as we can with what we’ve been given.” Road notes The 2021-2030 Draft Ten Year Transportation Plan can be found at nh.gov/dot/org/ projectdevelopment/planning/typ, and the online survey can be completed at nhdotplanningahead2030.metroquest.com.

Half a century of service Volunteer honored as she “shares the warmth”
On Oct. 30, the Manchester-based Amoskeag Community Volunteers honored Queen City resident Kathy Albert for her 50 years of dedicated service to the local civic organization. Albert is currently heading up the Share the Warmth initiative, the organization’s new project that collects new and gently used coats, mittens, winter hats and other cold weather apparel for people in need. Albert and fellow Amoskeag Community Volunteers member Glenda Hall talk about the organization, how it helps the community and why they want to Share the Warmth. What keeps you coming back to volunteer? KA: Mostly the friendships and the good that we do. Because I do other volunteer work besides this. I am a retired nurse and I’m presently the treasurer on the board of the Elliot Hospital School of Nursing. ... I’m a volunteer parish nurse weekly on Wednesdays.
Out of all the time working with ACV, is there an experience that sticks out as particularly special? KA: Two of them jump out at me. ... In 1976, we spent a whole year trying to convince the Manchester Water Works to paint all of the fire hydrants on Elm Street to look like soldiers to get ready for the centennial celebration. Believe it or not, we finally convinced them, and we ran a coloring contest in the lower grades of the public and parochial schools to choose the 10 best designs.

Even though our belief always was for people to do what they can, we don’t want you to do volunteer work if it stresses you out.

Tell us about the history of the Amoskeag Community Volunteers. GH: The Amosekeag Community Volunteers actually began in 1937 under the name of the Manchester Junior Women’s Club. But in 2000, because just about all of the members were over age 40, people decided that we really didn’t think having the word “junior” in the title was appropriate, so we renamed our group. It has been doing different volunteer works, both large and small, throughout the city for all those years, whether it’s scholarships or financial donations to different charitable organizations. Years ago, we actually were the seed organization that started the Community Improvement Program in the city of Manchester. We’re a relatively small group now because it seems like people have a hard time finding time to do volunteer work.

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Late season cyanobacteria
Officials with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services are warning the public to be on the lookout for late-season cyanobacteria blooms. In an Oct. 31 news release, the department said cyanobacteria blooms have been seen along the shorelines of lakes and ponds, including Country Pond in Newton and Webster Lake in Franklin. The department is encouraging Granite Staters to exercise caution and avoid human and pet contact with lake water that “has a surface scum, changes colors, or appears to have green streaks or blue-green flecks aggregating along the shore.” Anyone who sees what they think is a cyanobacteria bloom is asked to contact NHDES at 848-8094. Score: -1 Comment: The release notes that while cyanobacteria are naturally occurring, some can produce toxins after contact that cause acute health effects like irritation of skin, tingling, numbness, nausea, vomiting, seizures and diarrhea, as well as chronic effects like liver and central nervous system damage.
Less-than-stellar education report card
Last year New Hampshire was part of a nationwide trend in slumping student proficiency in both reading and math. Those findings were announced in an Oct. 30 news release from the New Hampshire Department of Education and were published in “New Hampshire’s Report Card: 2019 National Assessment of Education Progress Results in Math and Reading,” the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of American students. While New Hampshire’s scores have consistently met or exceeded the national average, and it remains one of the top performing states in the country, state Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut noted that the report card says the state ”Needs Improvement” in math and reading.

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S LONGSHOTS
NFL in focus doing Patriots’ bye week The Patriots limped into their bye licking their wounds after Sunday night’s 37-20 beatdown by the Ravens in front of a national TV audience. Now that the typical local over-thetop greatest defense in the history of the universe hysteria has been put to rest, we’ll wait a week before giving our assessment on the validity of the 8-1 start. That leaves this week to the rest of the NFL, so here’s a look at some of the most interesting leaguewide stories at mid-year. Biggest surprises: (1) San Francisco being 8-0 behind a stellar defense. (2) Jacoby Brissett – Andrew who? Always liked his toughness and thought he’d be pretty good, but not as good a passer as he’s been. Hopefully Sunday’s injury was just a sprain. (3) Green Bay at 7-2 – but see me in December, because I’m not convinced, especially after Sunday’s drubbing by the Chargers. (4) Teddy Bridgewater – nice job, young fella, filling in for Drew Brees. (5) Adam Vinatieri – I know he’s about 78 and it had to come sometime. But that miss to win it Sunday in Pittsburgh was so far left it might have landed in West Virginia. Along with his early-season extra point struggles the cracks are finally starting to show. Non-surprises: (1) The Redskins, dysfunctional again and Dan the fan has fired another coach. (2) Da Bears at 3-5 – Mitch Tribisky can run but he can’t hide his inaccurate passing. (3) Jimmy Garoppolo – knew he was going to be pretty good. (4) The Jets – what else, disappointment after being totally overrated in pre-season again. (5) Atlanta at 1-7 – never believed they were any good even when up 28-3 in the Super Bowl. Oh, and I told you Buffalo would be better than most think. Not a complete team, but they’re 6-2, well-coached, have a very
good defense with Cleveland, Miami and Denver dead ahead and close with the Jets. Even with four tough games in between that’s 9, 10 or maybe even 11 wins and the playoffs. Incidentally, who had Brissett with more TD passes than Tom Brady after eight games? He had 14 with three picks, while it was 13 for TB-12. For Jimmy G it’s 16 and seven after Thursday’s four-TD-pass night. The curse of Tim Tebow lives: With Denver stumbling through a fourth straight non-playoff season, when do you think it catches up with John Elway? Since the 2015 Super Bowl win in Peyton Manning’s final season they’ve gone 9-7, 5-11, 6-10 and are 3-6 after Sunday’s 24-19 win over Cleveland. And it’s been one bust after another among the six different QBs since Manning retired. He also passed on (gulp) Lamar Jackson in 2018 probably because he was too Tim Tebow-like in favor of edge rusher Bradley Chubb. A good player but…. You’d think a QB as great as Elway could identify even a respectable one, wouldn’t you? I say it all goes back to dumping Tebow. Even as he transformed a team that was 4-12 in 2010 and 1-4 five weeks into 2011 to be 8-4 with him starting Elway turned up his nose because of how he looked, not how he did. Which included a playoff win over the vaunted Steelers in OT on his 80-yard TD pass to ex-Patriot for a day Demaryius Thomas. Manning of course made complete sense. But not one of the other guys since has done what the unorthodox Tebow did. Since I was Tebow’s advocate because he just won, am I a better judge of QBs than the great Elway? Maybe not, but I’m 1-0 on my pick and he’s 0-6. Besides the Steelers and Packers throwbacks, the Day-Glo green specials the league forces Seattle to wear on Thursday nights are the worst uniforms ever. Never did it, but I’m guessing that’s what it looked like in the ’60s when the hippies were tripping on acid and listening to Mag-
ical Mystery Tour. Hearing Niners DB Richard Sherman of all people saying Baker Mayfield not shaking his hand after the coin toss when SF and Cleveland met in Week 4 was “disrespectful to the game” is pretty rich. And it turned out to be a bogus claim to boot. Guess him trash talking nonsense in Brady’s face walking off the field after Seattle’s 2012 upset was “respecting the game” and proper “NFL etiquette” Got it. No one can say Sony Michel is living up to expectations. But his 482 yards (3.3 per carry) are somehow more than Le’Veon Bell (415/3.2), Alvin Kamara (373/4.3) and Todd Gurley (355/3.9). It’s looking like Cleveland’s Freddy Kitchens and the Jets’ Adam Gase could get whacked after just one season. The NYC media now has Gase in the crosshairs after making him out to be an offensive genius when hired last spring. The Giants’ Pat Shurmur is not far off either. Until Lamar Jackson took the Pats apart on Sunday, of all those young QBs faced in the 8-1 start, the best was the Giants’ Daniel Jones. As for the vaunted Sam Darnold, as I said of the NYC media’s early entry nomination to the Hall, I’ll believe he’s got a big future when I see him actually do something. And after Sunday’s loss to winless Miami those dogs are doing a 360 on him. Only took three games since returning from having malaria (or whatever he had). That’s how it works in the Apple. Don’t want to be a downer for those who love that Jackson fella. But history says he’ll be dynamic right up until he gets killed from all the running like every running QB from RGIII to Michael Vick. Finally, people are right when they talk about how great Pat Mahomes is. But Deshaun Watson is in his class and Jackson may also be after what we saw on Sunday. All three are in the AFC, so the NFL’s next great 10-year QB rivalry is in place. Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress. com.

It’s boot season Be warm and stylish!
Dartmouth’s prayer answered The Big Story – New Hampshire football play of the year: The pass “only” went 43 yards. But with his run right, spin and twist out of trouble, then run left away from a bevy of Harvard pass rushers before pivoting to launch his 43-yard TD pass right-handed as time expired degree of difficulty, Dartmouth’s game winning toss by backup QB Daniel Kyler to all-name teamer Masaki Aerts on Saturday had it all over Doug Flutie’s famed Hail Mary to Gerald Phelan. Especially since the miraculous 9-6 win over archrival Harvard kept Dartmouth undefeated, untied and atop the Ivy League at 7-0. Sports 101: Who is the only baseball manager to be named manager of the year with a losing record? Hot Ticket: It’s archrivals Pinkerton and top-seeded Londonderry in D-I football playoffs at LHS Saturday at 1 p.m. Next Man Up Award: In Patriots-like fashion Nashua North football still got its undefeated regular season despite playing without injured star Curtis Harris by pitching a 7-0 shutout over Portsmouth/ Oyster River when the lone score came on a Jayden Espinal to Sam Nicholls 23-yard TD pass to finish at 9-0.
The Numbers
3 – clutch field goals of 24, 24 and 27 yards by Brandon Roy to take Pinkerton past Bedford in their loser goes home, winner keeps playing 16-9 win on Friday and prevent the Bulldogs from defending their state title. 4 – touchdowns scored by Payton Strickland to lead Goffstown to a 35-21 win over Timberlane. 5 – combined goals by the
Knick of Tyme Award: Matt Ferland for scoring the game-winning goal a little over a minute into the second overtime to make 5-seed Bow a 1-0 winner over Stevens in the D-II state soccer tourney and send them on to the quarterfinals. Dethroning Goal of the Week: Bishop Guertin freshman Katie Boudreau for the game winner as the Cardinals knocked off two-time defending D-I soccer champion Central 2-1 on Sunday when Brook Paquette gave BG a 1-0 lead to open the scoring before Darby Bailey knotted it at 1-1 for the Green. Sports 101 Answer: The only under .500 manager of the year was the just hired in Philadelphia Joe Girardi when his Florida Marlins went 78-84 in 2006. On This Day in Sports – Nov. 7: 1943 – the Detroit Lions and New York football Giants play to the NFL’s last 0-0 scoreless tie. 1963 – New York Yankees catcher Elston Howard is the first African American to be named American League MVP. 1991 – Magic Johnson stuns the world far beyond just the NBA when he announces at the height of the worldwide AIDS epidemic he has HIV and must retire from basketball.
Stowell sisters when Olivia had three and Mia two as Londonderry bombarded Goffstown 7-0 to reach the semifinal of the D-I soccer playoffs. 10 – TDs scored as Londonderry closed out a 9-0 regular season with a 69-29 win over Central when four came on special teams and defense via a Dylan McEachern punt return, a 30-yard Cole Keegan picksix and kick returns of 76
and 80 yards by Jeff Wiedenfeld and Eric Raza. 18 – Concord High record number of goals scored by Alasdair Ferrier while having the added bonus of number 18 giving Concord a 2-1 playoff win in OT over Exeter. 59 & 66 – yard runs for touchdowns by Manchester West’s Brandon (not the ex-Patriot) Lloyd in a season-closing 42-27 loss to Pelham.

Sports Glossary
Elway’s Post-Manning QB Follies: Started with failed first-round pick Paxton Lynch, who never even got to start a game. Then came now Redskins starter Case Keenum followed by sometime Patriots third-stringer Trevor Seiman. The latest desperation move was trading for retread Joe Flacco, who’s now gone for six weeks and whose replacement no one ever heard of before Sunday. Magical Mystery Tour: The 18th of the 23 studio albums recorded by the band originally known as the Silver Beatles, done during their psychedelic period. Spoiler Alert: The name was shortened to simply The Beatles long before this misguided effort. The Beatles: World’s greatest band ever; ignited a cultural, fashion and musical revolution during the swinging ’60s. Best LPs: (1) Rubber Soul. (2) The White Album. Best song: “Back in the U.S.S.R.” Best movie: A Hard Day’s Night. Best moment: The Ed Sullivan show introduction to America on Feb. 9, 1964, which left my sister crying through the whole thing. Best unexpected benefit: gave America its first feeling of joy after the three months of crushing sadness following the assassination of JFK on Nov. 22, 1963. Tim Tebow: Two-time national champ at Florida and 2007 Heisman Trophy winner who had 17 TD passes, nine picks and a (gulp) 47.9 completion rate as an NFL starter. At 32, now toiling in the New York Mets farm system, where in 2019 he hit .163 with four homers and 19 RBI in 77 games for AAA Syracuse.

Asked how his 107-year-old family-owned store is faring, Phillip Scontsas, co-owner of Scontsas Fine Jewelry & Home Decor in Nashua, didn’t mince words. “I think there are those out there who have been ready to write the obituary for small business for years,” Scontsas said. “I just keep saying, ‘We’re not dead yet.’” Despite the growth of online shopping and big changes for even national chains, small retail businesses across the Granite State are doing their best to stay relevant in the eyes of their customers. A 2016 report from the state’s Employment Security Economic and Labor Market Information Bureau projected the job outlook for 774 careers into 2026. In that report, it was projected that cashiers (+4,100 openings) and retail salespersons (+3,900 openings) were on track to see some of the largest gains in annual job openings into 2026. But New Hampshire’s industry projection data also reveals that those working in clothing and accessories stores (-6.9 percent) and retail and appliance stores (-8.7 percent) will see declines in their numbers of open positions. Sporting goods, hobby, book and music stores combined were projected to see 11.8-percent growth in positions in the same time frame.
Nancy Kyle, president and CEO of the New Hampshire Retail Association, describes the state’s 2019 retail landscape as helped by both the absence of a sales tax and a desire on the part of consumers to shop local. “People want to be part of a community and shop where they know the owner of the store,” Kyle said. “That works out really well for retailers. It’s extremely challenging, it’s hard to compete against an online store, but the retailers that are going to be successful are the ones that are going above and beyond to create a community.” New Hampshire’s brick and mortar retail industry also must contend with a tight labor market driven by the state’s low unemployment rate (2.5 percent, according to the state’s most recent Economic Conditions report), which Kyle said is the top issue facing local retailers. “With a 2.5-percent unemployment rate, people don’t keep interview appointments, [or] they might work for you for a week and then go somewhere else for $1 more an hour,” Kyle said. “There’s no loyalty to employers. Even though minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, retailers have to pay well above that to get help.” Kyle said New Hampshire’s high utility costs, which in 2018 were ranked as the sixth highest in the country by Move.org, are also a challenge for store owners.

“We are definitely feeling the impact of the internet. Anybody who’s selling gifts in brick and mortar is going to feel it, and boy are we feeling it,” said Jim Clark of Fifty Home in Concord, who helps to run the business alongside his wife, Annie Clark, the owner. Specializing in home wares, decor and other gift-style items, Fifty Home finds itself directly in the crosshairs of online sellers like Amazon, Clark said. This past Mother’s Day, for example, ended up being Fifty Home’s worst Mother’s Day for sales “by a huge margin” since it opened four years ago, he said. But competition from Amazon doesn’t always mean a downturn in in-store foot traffic, with multiple businesses telling stories of patrons who come in to look at, take pictures of and even try on merchandise in order to make a more informed online purchase. Known as “showrooming,” the practice makes use of brick and mortar advantages like proximity to the product and customer service without actually benefiting the business, a habit that Pam Peterson, co-owner of Gondwana & Divine Clothing in Concord, says is being seen by small businesses up and down Main Street. “People will come in and maybe take pictures of products with cellphones and not necessarily buy from us, even though our prices are, generally, a few dollars lower than any online prices,” Peterson said, noting that she thinks it’s a less common practice in Gondwana than in other stores. “That’s happening everywhere. People need to know that if they’re using a brick and mortar to come in and try things on but not purchase from a local business, who knows what the future will hold.” Scontsas says he gets showroomers who come in hoping to use the store’s ring sizer for an online purchase. While he admits the practice bothers him, Scontsas says he welcomes it
as a way to engage with a potential customer. “At the end of the day, if I get them in the store and I’m nice to them, my hopes are that I can say, ‘If you have a second, I have a few pieces I’d love to show you and let you try on,” Scontsas said. “And I see that it really works and gets people to shift their mindsets.” For some, like M&C Clothing and Goods in Amherst, adaptation is the name of the game. “We’ve adapted tremendously over the years,” owner Karen Goddard said. “We used to do a lot more retail than we do now, but now we stick with what we started with, which is consignment products. We do locally made products and otherwise try to focus on things that you can’t necessarily find online.” For others, like Fifty Home, Gondwana and Proctor Ski and Board in Nashua, jumping into the digital space with websites and online sales of their own offers a way to supplement potential downturns in in-store foot traffic. “We do sell on Amazon, and we have our own website that we sell off of,” said Proctor general manager Donna Hemond, who added the store’s status as a pickup location for orders made through Evo, an online ski, snowboard and accessory store, helps to bring in shoppers.

Small-business owners say their secret weapon can be summed up in two words: customer service. This includes offering shoppers the ability to touch, try on and in some cases even consume the product before they commit to buying it. “Amazon does try, but here you can taste them,” said Charla Mayotte, the co-owner of Concord’s Celeste Olivia, which special-

on Daredevil, why don’t you check out the same writer’s run on Batman?’ Things like that are a really cool way to interact with customers.” Kyle also said that the most successful retailers of 2019 work in coordination with civic organizations and other local business in order to create a retail experience that goes beyond the simple act of purchasing. “The stores and malls that are successful are those that are doing community events and that type of thing,” Kyle said. “They’re doing things to draw people in so that it’s not just shopping. It’s shopping and a meal, or shopping and a show or a movie.” Concord’s downtown area is regularly home to events such as Midnight Merriment, which is organized by Intown Concord, and the League of NH Craftsmen’s Capital Arts Fest. The largest example of this is the annual Market Days, a three-day festival where North Main Street is closed to vehicle traffic from Centre Street to Hills Avenue to feature live music, games, over 180 vendors and, of course, the opportunity to patronize the area’s shops, performance centers and restaurants. To Concord Chamber of Commerce president Tim Sink, events like Market Days create a sense of place and a “destination downtown” that retail establishments on their own cannot. “Having events and festivals, putting out live entertainment, getting people outside

izes in artisan olive oils and vinegars. “You can’t taste them when you buy them online, so you don’t really know what they’re going to taste like, and these are made the right way.” To Mayotte, the ability to sample her products in-store represents a key advantage for shoppers who may be wary of gambling their hard-earned dollars on online products of uncertain quality. “There’s no comparison,” Mayotte said. The same principle applies to made to custom picture frames, according to Christine King, the 40-year owner of North End Framers Market in Manchester. In King’s view, good customer service and the need for a “hands-on encounter” with the product to ensure the perfect look and fit are what have kept her business humming after all these years. But sometimes it’s less about being near the product and more about being near the culture, at least according to Jill Stewart, manager of Double Midnight Comics in Manchester, who offers expert insight into what a patron might want to read that they can’t find on Amazon. “I’m kind of the comic book expert around here, so when people come in here and ask me questions about stuff, I can usually lead them to the story line or artist they’re looking for, or the writer they’re kind of intrigued by,” Stewart said. “I’ll send them on this big quest of, ‘Well, you like this writer’s run

and giving them lots of reasons to come into the downtown retail center is what’s driving that strength in the brick and mortar retail environment,” Sink said. Sink said competition with online shopping has made the success of Concord’s retail market “something of a mixed bag,” but that North Main Street business development has seen a resurgence since the city’s $14 million reconstruction effort between 2014 and 2016, which aimed to create a more pedestrian-friendly downtown. “That has attracted more restaurants and entertainment venues and those new attraction-type organizations tend to support the retail environment in downtown,” Sink said.

Future of shopping
Looking into the future, some local retailers say they see hope in Generation Z shoppers who grew up with online shopping and may have a hunger for a brick and mortar experience. “When you’ve never experienced the joy of going out, shopping with some friends and picking out something special that somebody else will enjoy very much, you don’t know that it’s a great experience that’s far more enjoyable than just hitting the send button on the 23rd of December,” Scontsas said. As generational tastes change, small businesses maintain a distinct advantage, according to Kyle, who said that small busi-
nesses enjoy the ability to “react to market conditions and change how they’re doing business” more nimbly than big box stores. Peterson said she also sees an eventual “pendulum swing” back in the direction of local retail, but unlike Scontsas, she warns it may take a near extinction of brick and mortar stores before shoppers realize what they have lost. “I think if the online sales become bigger and bigger, it will impact brick and mortar and the pendulum will swing the other way because people will say, ‘Oh my gosh! What happened?’” Peterson said. But the New Hampshire Retail Association maintains a brighter view on the future of local retail. Pointing to a 2019 study by the National Retail Federation that found that 5.2 companies are opening new retail stores for every company that’s closing stores, Kyle said businesses will evolve and adapt to an increasingly online world in ways that emphasize both local and global connections. “Online sales aren’t always a negative,” Kyle said. “Now a small to medium-sized retailer can sell to the world. They don’t have to sell in just their storefronts and it opens up a whole new way of selling. “But I think you’ll continue to see more community-focused shop local initiatives, because people want to belong and be a part of something, and the successful retailers will do that.”

ARTS Working on the wall
Downtown Manchester gets a new mural
Photos by Chayanne Lawrance.
By Angie Sykeny asykeny@hippopress.com
As someone who enjoyed skateboarding in his youth, James Chase of Hooksett has always had an appreciation for large-scale public art, so when DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Downtown hotel and Stibler Associates Interior Design asked him to create a mural in downtown Manchester, he quickly agreed. “It feels so good to spray large gestures and create large forms across a surface,” Chase said. The mural, “Spotlight,” is located on a side wall in the plaza between Elm Street and the hotel and expo center and runs 109 feet long. Its completion date is Friday, Nov. 8. DoubleTree and Stibler wanted to commission a mural that would “show the vibrancy of downtown,” Chase said, integrating the history of Manchester and the “pulses and vibrations” of present-day Manchester.
“The [objective] with this mural is to include a sense of identity, openness that is welcoming while adding color, vibrancy and increased foot traffic,” Chase said. “I wanted to capture that energy, that bottleneck where everything comes together.” The mural has literal and abstract elements; on one side are images clearly depicting the Millyard, the armory and City Hall, done in a muted, uniform palette of browns and red tones. The mural then merges into a more contemporary style with abstract images in bright colors, which Chase said represent the city skyline and the currents of the Merrimack River. “To me, creating murals is a call and response of sorts,” he said. “A lot of preplanning [and] working with the community goes into the creation of the mockup, but from there, [there is] room for inspiration as the work evolves.” Chase, who teaches printmaking, sculpture and painting at the Institute of Art and Design at New England College, recruited two Insti-
20 Art
tute alumni and one current student to help him create the mural. “They helped with the preplanning and design process, and also with the execution, learning how to mask off areas and color coding,” he said. “It gives them a lot of good experience.” Chase, who grew up in Manchester, interned as a high school student at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, now the Institute of Art and Design at New England College, and went on to get his BFA there, focusing on printmaking and sculpture. He then earned his MFA at the School of Art at Texas Tech University, with a focus in studio art, printmaking and sculpture. Prior to teaching at the Institute, which he has done for the last six years, he was the fine arts coordinator at Manchester Community College. As an artist, Chase has been featured in more than 60 exhibitions in the last 10 years. He has created several public art pieces, including a mural for the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts, a painted electrical box for

His next big venture is joining the Intown Manchester board of directors next year, where he said he plans to continue encouraging more public art. “I think it will be cool to take this experience [as an artist] and see what everyone else [at Intown] is doing and continue to build community together,” he said.

Dear Donna, I received a baseball as a gift, a few years ago. It was signed by David (Papi) Ortiz, ex-player of the Boston Red Sox. What is it worth in the collectible market? James from Nashua Dear James, Even though I am really not that familiar with baseball or any sports memorabilia, I can share some key things to evaluating them. When you put a value on a signed baseball it depends on its authenticity, who it is, the age, the game it came from (if it did come from one), how often the player signed balls, etc. Your ball looks authentic from the signature but to be safe I would bring it to a sports memorabilia store and get it verified. If it is a real signature they will be able to give you a value. I would think you are safe in thinking it is worth in the $200 to $300 range.

Fifteen flowers
What bloomed in October in my garden By Henry Homeyer
listings@hippopress.com
Despite frost and short days, my garden produced plenty of flowers in October. I look for plants that will perform in the shoulder seasons: March, April, October and even November. Here are some I love that are blooming still, or that bloomed earlier in October. 1. My Knockout roses were still blooming in late October. This trademarked variety has me completely loyal to them. They start blooming in June and continue until Halloween or later. Not every bush blooms every day, but some do. Most are not fragrant, though that has its advantage: They don’t attract Japanese beetles or rose chafers. 2. Seven Sons Flower tree (Heptacodium micinoides). The small white flowers on this tree are delicate, and slightly fragrant. It’s a fast growing, small tree that needs annual pruning; it can grow stems up to 7 feet long in one season, though it shouldn’t get taller than 25 feet or so. Hard frost damages the flowers. 3. Witchhazel (Hamamelis virginiana). This understory tree has small curly yellow blossoms that really aren’t obvious until late October when the yellow foliage falls off. The branches of mine are loaded with blossoms now, and will look good well into November. Not a showy plant, but a welcome treat at this time of year. 4. Disanthus (Disanthus cercidifolius). This large shrub has spectacular purple foliage, more dramatic than the reds of burning bush (Euonymus alatus). And if you get up close for a look, it has little half-inch red blossoms in October. Quite a worthy shrub, but not well known. Even though I’m in a cold Zone 4, and this shrub is said to be only hard to Zone 5 (minus 20), I’ve had it for several years. 5. Autumn crocus (Colchicum speciosum). This is my one bulb plant for October. It is similar to spring crocus, but many times larger. I was given a dozen bulbs 20 years ago, and now I have just one left; the others seem to have disappeared. It displays its foliage in spring which then disappears. In October large pink (or white or lavender) blossoms appear. Floppy, but wonderful. I shall buy some more next summer. 6. Fall monkshood (Aconitum carmichaelii ‘Arendsii’). You may know the June-blooming monkshood (Aconitum napellus), but this late bloomer is a treat that blooms in late October. It grows to be 4 to 5 feet tall, and has an intense blue-purple hooded flower. Also called wolf’s bane because the sap was used allegedly used to poison wolves in Russia by spreading it on meat that was left out for wolves. 7. Blooming with my monkshood is a pinkmagenta phlox. Unlike the other phlox I have, this one starts late and just keeps on blooming. I wish I knew the cultivar name, as it has little mold or mildew, too. A good cut flower. 8. Rudbeckia. I have two varieties that bloom well into October. Henry Eiler is just finishing up. A 5-foot-tall plant with petals with gaps between them give it a distinctive look. And then there is

Prairie Sun, which blooms from late June until now. It has a green eye instead of a brown one. 9. Globe flower (Trollius europaeus). The bright yellow flowers are a complete surprise, as it should bloom in early summer. But this year it is in full, glorious bloom in the last week of October. Go figure. 10. New York ironweed (Vernonia noveboracnesis). This is a tall purple flower that looks a lot like a New England aster. It can reach 5 to 6 feet tall in moist rich soil, which it likes best. I now grow it in dry soil, as it got too big in moist soil. It bloomed well though midOctober for me. 11. New England Aster (Aster novae-angliae). Another tall fall bloomer. I have pink and purple varieties that often reach 5 to 6 feet tall. Monarch butterflies love to get some nectar from the flowers before heading south. 12. Canadian burnet (Sanguisorba canadensis). A native plant of the wetlands, this tall flower appears as a dozen thin bottle-brush flowers on each stem, in clusters. I have three or four other species in this genus that bloom earlier in summer. 13. Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale). This flower was named after Helen of Troy, a woman so beautiful that it is said she launched 1,000 ships. I have it in various colors: yellow, yellow and rust, orange and brown. It can be 5 feet tall, or as short as 2 feet, depending on where it is grown and the cultivar. It does fine in ordinary garden soil, but thrives best in moist soils. Sneezeweed does not make you sneeze; it was used as snuff in earlier times. 14. Pink Turtlehead (Chelone lyonii). This tall pink flower blooms for 6 to 8 weeks with multiple hooded pink flowers on tall stems. Bumblebees love this flower, though it is a challenge for them to crawl inside for pollen. It finished blooming in mid to late October. 15. Fountain grass (Miscanthus sinensis Morning Light). Most of us do not think of grasses as having flowers, but they do, of course. This 6- to 8-foot-tall grass has wonderful fluffy panicles a foot long or so. They move well in the breeze, and many stay erect through much of the winter. So if you think that flowers finish blooming in September with the last of your daylilies, think again! Buy some of the plants I mentioned next spring and plant them. October flowers can be spectacular. Henry is available to speak to your garden club or library. Reach him at henry.homeyere@ comcast.net or P.O. Box 364, Cornish Flat, NH 03746.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK
They don’t build cars like this anymore
Dear Car Talk: I have a 1951 Chevy, straight-6, 3-on-the-tree, with 31,000 actual miles. Nice car. If I coast downhill in gear (it doesn’t hapBy Ray Magliozzi pen in neutral or if the clutch is disengaged), when accelerating after the downhill run, it will briefly (for perhaps 100 feet or so), put out a puff of smoke. What gives? — John That’s the worst problem you have with a car that’s old enough to collect Social Security? You should be dancing a jig instead of writing to us, John. On a car of this generation, blowing some blueish smoke after coasting downhill is not unusual. As a matter of fact, even some newer cars do it, but to such a small degree that it’s barely noticeable. Your problem is that your piston rings are wearing out. The piston rings are supposed to fit tightly against the cylinder walls and scrape off all the oil before combustion takes place, so gasoline and air get combusted and your oil doesn’t. Your piston
rings aren’t doing a great job anymore. Not that they were stellar to begin with. There’s a measure of industrial precision called “tolerance.” Tolerance is the space between parts. Back in 1951, manufacturing tolerances just weren’t that good. You could slip a hot air balloon between some of the parts in this car. These days, our manufacturing processes are infinitely better, and tolerances are much smaller, resulting in better performance and much longer engine life. But back when your car was built, nobody expected you to go more than 75,000 miles without an engine rebuild. You’re seeing that smoke because when you coast down a hill, the wheels are turning the engine rather than the engine turning the wheels. During that time, while there’s little combustion taking place, oil is getting pumped past those poorly made and wornout rings, and it is pooling in the cylinders. Then, once you start to accelerate again, that oil is getting burned up along with the gasoline and sent out the tailpipe. Unless it’s really driving you nuts, John, I’d just keep the oil clean and topped up and live with it for now. After all, given your annual mileage (we calculate 455 miles a year), you’re going to be due for an engine rebuild in the year 2115 anyway.
Dear Car Talk: We have a 2013 Avalanche with automatic steps going in and out. The step on the passenger side sometimes stays in when we open the door, whether getting in or out. Getting out, if I’m not watching, I could fall out, being a small person. The warranty outfit will not fix it because when the guy looked at it, the step did come out, so he claims it worked for him. Any way you can help with letting me know what could be the cause, and how to fix it? — JoAnn You’re talking about the motorized running boards, JoAnn. As you say, it pops out between the door sill and the ground when you open a door, making it possible for non-NBA players to get in and out of vehicles like the Avalanche. And when they fail, it’s either the switch or the step’s motor. When you open the door, there’s a switch on the door jamb that signals a computer to turn on the dome lights, among other things. On some cars, opening the door turns on exterior lights, fires up some parts of the dashboard, unfolds the side mirrors or moves your seat back to allow easier access. In your case, it’s also supposed to switch on the running board’s electric motor, so it deploys for you and keeps you
from having to fetch your 6-foot step ladder. It could be the switch. More likely, though, the motor that moves the running board in and out is failing. Electric motors often fail intermittently. And that’s going to be pricey to replace. You definitely want to push harder to get this fixed under what I assume is your extended warranty. The guy you saw is hoping you get discouraged and go away. Don’t. Reporting it to him was a good start. Make sure you save that repair order. Next, start using your smartphone to take a little video every time you get in and out of the truck. Point the camera at the bottom of the door and start recording. Then open the door and film the running board. If the running board operates normally, delete the video. If it fails to deploy, and you capture it on video failing, take that evidence to the repair shop and insist that they fix it. If you have several videos from several different days, all the better. If they still give you the runaround, send that same video evidence, along with the repair orders, to the warranty company, and ask them to either fix the running board or refund the money you spent for a useless warranty. Good luck, JoAnn. And watch your step. Visit Cartalk.com.

What’s the best piece of work-related advice anyone’s ever given you? I was actually at a training a few weeks ago where the instructor told us about the “sandwich rule.” He said that if your client has a huge success, you go home and have a sandwich for dinner. If your client has a bit of a rough time, you go home and have a sandwich for dinner. What he meant was that as a counselor, we can not take the success or hardships of our clients as Rebecca Elyse of Manchester is a student assistant program counselor at Nashua our own.

New Nashua store offering internationally inspired spice blends, sauces By Matt Ingersoll
mingersoll@hippopress.com
By Matt Ingersoll
You don’t have to travel overseas to taste international flavors, thanks to a Nashua-based company set to open its first mini retail store. Mola Foods, which features a product line of seasonings, spice blends, chili relishes, sauces, marinades and more, will hold its grand opening in the Gate City on Saturday, Nov. 9. Jeannette Bryant of Nashua founded the company in 2016, but this is the first time that its products will be available in her own retail space. Up until now, you could only get them at select supermarkets, local farmers markets and online. Bryant, who is from Cameroon, said the concept of Mola Foods originated when she began experimenting with a hot sauce recipe made from a Cameroonian ghost pepper at the suggestion of a friend. “It started with that hot sauce, and then I just sort of said to myself, ‘Why do I want just this one hot sauce?’” she said. “I started thinking about how I could create a spice … just out of one simple bottle without worrying about this ingredient or that ingredient.” The feedback she received from people who tried her hot sauces and spice blends was so positive, she said, that it inspired her even further to start a world-inspired “culture in a bottle” theme. Her current offerings include all types of spices and chili relishes she says are meant to embody the culture and taste of each nation inspired by them. Each spice blend is labeled as inspired from a different country around the world, from Africa (like Cameroon, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Somalia) to South Asia (like India and Sri Lanka). There are also mar4.69”wide x 2.6” high inades, sauces, chili relishes, extra virgin olive HIPPO Horizontal 1/8 page oil and other cooking ingredients, all encompassing different world cultures. “The idea is … to bring the smell and the taste of that country’s culture into your house,”

Bryant said. “You don’t have to change the way you cook your food. All you have to do is sprinkle a little of the spice on your food inspired from that country and then you are transported there.” Bryant does her homework to create each flavor profile for her spices, conducting research and speaking with people whose parents and grandparents came here from each country. “I’ll ask them what their mother or their grandmother would traditionally use to cook their food,” she said, “and then I’ll go home and try to create something inspired by that.” Since launching her business, Bryant has hosted tasting events at local stores and farmers markets, some of which have been in collaboration with local businesses, like Caroline’s Fine Food in Bedford. She’s also working on a cookbook of original recipes utilizing her spices, which she hopes to finish sometime in January. At the grand opening event, several tables will be set up for sampling foods with various Mola Foods products. Bryant said she’s thinking of featuring chicken wings, meatballs, assorted vegetables and other hors d’oeuvres for people to try with spices and chili relishes of their choosing. Then if you like what you tried,
you can purchase a bottle of it. Some of the spices will be labeled in small sample baggies for people to take with them, and there will also be free small recipe cards given out. Gift cards and packaged gift baskets will be available for sale too. Throughout the day there will be face-painting for kids. Beyond Nov. 9, Bryant said she hasn’t quite figured out what the store’s exact hours of operation would be, but she said it would likely be in the afternoons and early evenings from Wednesday through Saturday. Her long-term vision is to have a larger dual space for retail and production. “I like the concept of mini store … to kind of see how that concept goes, and then when it grows from there, I can think about bringing it out to a bigger space,” she said.

Creative cordials
Make festive treats at Cordials & Chocolates class By Matt Ingersoll
mingersoll@hippopress.com
If you’re looking for tasty gift-giving ideas or creative desserts to serve at your next holiday gathering, an upcoming workshop in Canterbury that combines herb- and fruit-infused cordials with chocolate truffles will provide some unique make-it-yourself opportunities. Clinical herbalist Maria Noel Groves of Wintergreen Botanicals in Allenstown will teach this Cordials & Chocolates workshop, to be held at Canterbury Shaker Village on Saturday, Nov. 9, from 10 a.m. to noon. According to Groves, the class mixes techniques from two previous workshops she has separately taught — one on how to make cordials and the other on making chocolatey treats such as truffles. “I used to teach just a cordial-making class and we would be done within an hour because they are so easy to make,” Groves said. “So I decided to make it a little more fun and complicated by doing … the cordial-making with the chocolates.” Groves will demonstrate the process of how to make cordials, which involves combining fruits, herbs, sweetener and alcohol into a jar (though due to liquor restrictions, you’ll have to add the alcohol yourself at home). Each participant will
have the opportunity to craft their own fourounce cordials, with fruits like apples, cranberries or pears. Groves will also talk about which herbs combine well with chocolate, such as anise, tarragon, lavender, ginger, vanilla and others. You’ll have several to choose from to infuse into the cream that will go in your truffles. Toward the end, she said, is when everybody gets their hands dirty by rolling the chocolate to make the truffles themselves. “While we’re waiting for the herbs to infuse and the cream to go into the truffles, I’ll give some background on other recipes that you can make with chocolate,” she said. “There are definitely a lot of different things that I interweave that happen throughout the class.” You don’t need any prior experience in cordial- or truffle-making, nor do you have to bring any materials — everything is provided, according to Groves. Cordials & Chocolate workshop When: Saturday, Nov. 9, 10 a.m. to noon Where: Canterbury Shaker Village, 288 Shaker Road, Canterbury Cost: $60 general admission, or $50 for Village members (includes all materials and supplies) Visit: shakers.org

“Bringing an apron is not a bad idea, but you can be a complete beginner and bring nothing but yourself,” she said. While some past participants of the workshop have had experience making cordials and truffles at home, according to Groves, most have never done it before and are looking for more creative
approaches during the holidays. “A lot of people who are interested in making their own cordials and herbal remedies may be a little timid about doing it correctly, but once you’re able to do it yourself, you realize how fun and easy it is, and then you can give them as gifts,” she said.
Make your own cranberry cordial Courtesy of Maria Noel Groves of Wintergreen Botanicals in Allenstown 2 cups raw fresh whole cranberries 1½ cups 80-proof quality vodka 2 cups white sugar 1 cup filtered water Make a simple syrup by simmering two cups of sugar in one cup of water until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool. Coarsely chop cranberries in a blender. Loosely fill a two-cup (one pint) jar with chopped berries. Cover the cranberries so the jar is ⅔ full of vodka. Top off the rest with the simple
syrup (any leftover syrup can be refrigerated for several weeks and used to make other cordials or cocktails). Cover the jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake well to combine. Shake two or more times daily. Strain when it tastes good and ready (usually within one to seven days). Do this by using a fine mesh metal strainer, pushing hard with a large clean spoon to get as much cordial as possible from the berries. The finished cordial will keep for at least six months in a glass bottle with a tight lid in a cool, dark, dry spot, such as a liquor cabinet.

Several items on its regular menu are made from scratch; The Foothills is known in particular for its breakfast foods like omelets and pancakes, as well as lunch selections like sandwiches. Its cinnamon rolls, which weigh in at close to five pounds, are also a huge hit, according to Moore, who has a hand in baking most of the restaurant’s staples. While the building has operated as a restaurant for nearly 30 years — Moore herself has owned it since 2006 — it was originally a house dating back to the early 1800s.

TRY THIS AT HOME Cinnamon apple whoopie pies Thanksgiving is all about the food. Yes, we are reminded to be grateful, but when it comes down to it, we focus on when, where and what we will be eating. Whether you’re at a restaurant or at home, there are the expected dishes, which may vary, but the dessert table almost always focuses on pie. That’s where I take issue with this holiday. See, I’m not a big fan of pie. I find it to be a boring dessert, mainly due to the crust. Serve me apple crisp, and I’m quite happy. Serve me apple pie, and there’s a decent chance I’ll politely skip dessert. Thus, I wonder why pie should get to take over the entire dessert table. When I’m hosting or asked to bring a dessert, I try to change that thinking. This year I’ve created a new dessert for Thanksgiving. I’m still keeping the fall theme; there’s no need to go totally out of bounds. Allow me to introduce cinnamon apple whoopie pies. Besides being a nice alternative to a slice of pie, these whoopie pies have some other benefits. First of all, they are handheld desserts, so you don’t need more silverware and plates. Just grab a napkin and you’re ready to eat. Second, all you need are the whoopie pies as is. If you’re serving pie, you

Malty, nutty, toasty and complex, but without the sheer heft of a stout or porter, brown ales might actually be the greatest fall beers that aren’t specifically fall beers. You can drink a brown ale any time; even on a hot summer day, a smooth brown ale is a mildly refreshing change of pace from more typical, lighter brews. But it also stands up to a bitter cold evening, presumably spent by the fire. And, then, yeah, it’s a fit in every other situation in between — and that’s sort of fall in New England. I’ve said this before and probably even written it, but I think brown ales are a great gateway style into the world of craft beer. Stouts and porters are intimidating because they are so heavy and robust, and that’s just not for everyone. While brown ales are certainly heavier than a Pilsner, they won’t make you feel like you’re drinking an entire meal and the flavor profile is far less abrasive than the bitterness of a typical IPA — particularly for those new to the world of craft beer. Brewers have plenty of room to play with the complexity of a brown ale. Whether that’s playing up or down the sweetness, incorporating notes of coffee, chocolate, toasted nuts, vanilla or dark fruits, or varying the level of bitterness, the style has a nice range of nuance. I just always find this style welcoming under pretty much every circumstance. So what are you waiting for? Here are six brown ales to help get you through the remainder of the fall season: Brooklyn Brown Ale by Brooklyn Brewery (Brooklyn, N.Y.) Calling this a standard brown ale seems almost like a criticism but that’s not the intention. This is what a brown ale should taste like: rich flavor, mild sweetness, but nothing overpowering. This beer is easy to drink but that doesn’t mean it lacks complexity.

which is also a little richer and a little darker than your typical brown ale. This is incredibly flavorful. Elvis Calling by Liars Bench Beer Co. (Portsmouth) Candidly, I haven’t tried this but I can pretty much promise you I will be. The brewery describes it as a London brown with coffee. The “with coffee” part got me for sure. Nut Brown Ale by Samuel Smith (Yorkshire, U.K.) I love the nuttiness of this brew, coupled with its dry style — just a classic and readily available. Let us not forget about our friends across the pond. Ellie’s Brown by Avery Brewing Co. (Boulder, Colo.) If I had my way, my youngest child would have been named after this beer. I mean, not really, but maybe? This is just delicious: notes of vanilla, chocolate and rich malts coupled with a tremendously smooth finish.

Paradigm Brown Ale by Kelsen Brewing Co. (Derry) At 7.0-percent ABV, this beer is a little bigger than the typical brown ales you see but the alcohol just provides some added warmth, rather than dominating this brew,
Tides Voyage 45: New England DIPA by Naukabout Beer Co. (Mashpee, Mass.): This one came at me a little bit with its sharp bitterness. At 8.2-percent ABV, this is a big IPA and the hoppy bitterness stands up well to food, as I enjoyed a pint alongside a pepperoni and mushroom pizza. Cheers!

There are so many die-hard Judas Priest fans in New Hampshire, and it’s a festive pleasure to make them aware that JP singer Rob Halford has at last absconded to the last refuge of defunct musical memes and released an album of Christmas tunes. There are Judas Priest-sounding original songs, crazily overproduced metal tunes that would make our good friends at Trans Siberian Orchestra hide their faces, but there are traditionals here as well: “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” and “Joy to the World” to name three, and they all get strapped to the metal pillory with varying success. Oh, “The First Noel” is on here too, but I refused to deal with it, being that it’s my second-least-favorite Christmas carol after the thoroughly detestable “O Holy Night.” (It wouldn’t be the holidays without my bringing up my hatred of that song, would it? Merry Christmas in November, everyone!) B — Eric W. Saeger

Now you just hold it right there, you dreadful little trolls, I’m not going to dismiss this album out of hand just because the current members of this gospel-country-doo-wop institution have unironic ZZ Top beards and they’re 100 years old, much less that they recently joined forces with AARP. There’s a story behind that, I’ll have you know, specifically that the partnership also involves the U.S. Department of Justice, and it’s all about raising awareness of elder fraud, according to justice.gov, not selling a few box sets through Time-Life. Moving on, this is actually a pretty neat little album, with a blow-doors barbershop version of “Silent Night,” and the rest of it is cool, too. I’ve heard a lot worse Christmas albums in my time, trust me. What could a few Sha Na Na-style originals hurt when there are so many lousy Christmas songs around? It’s OK that the songs “Don’t Go Pullin’ on Santa’s Beard” and “Reindeer on the Roof” sound exactly the same. Svengoolie would love it, so it gets an A+. Neener. A+ — Eric W. Saeger
PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • Onward to the set of albums and other musical train-wrecks that will hit your Walmarts and bug-riddled Spotify app thingies on Nov. 8! Not a whole ton of stuff to talk about at the moment, like, probably all the Matrix-approved bubblegum stupidity will be out just before ChristmaHannuKwanzaa in a big rush, just to ruin the holidays for you because you can’t afford to eat and buy all the disposable corporate Katy Perry-Minaj-Bieber-K-pop that gets dumped into the record store all at once. Know what, why don’t you just save some time and decide to have a dreadful holiday right now, instead of holding out hope? Right, just enjoy the moment, you know, because YOLO, right? Snap out of it, and go buy this new album from Luke Combs, called What You See Is What You Get, because you should just forget about bubble-pop and just get hip to the country and western music of this “crazily gifted” cowboy-hat man. Not sold yet, because you don’t know whether it’s actually good music? Well, fine, be that way, let’s go listen to the title track, and I’ll prove to you right now that innovative, compelling, superb music is still … ick, it sounds like Jason Aldean, but with more goose-honking when he’s trying to put some oomph into his super innovative and compelling lyrics about driving and drinking. I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy this record, just that I wouldn’t, ever, even if I won the lottery a hundred times. • Ex-Bloc Party dude Kele releases his new album, 2042, on Nov. 8. This fellow abandoned the hobby of trying to sound like Gang of Four when he went out on his own, and for that I don’t blame him, because I’d take the sexy, trippy electronic of his solo stuff any day over another all that crook-leg hipster stuff that destroyed music once and for all back in the — and yes, I’m literally gagging when I mention this decade — Aughts. Naturally, many people will disagree, mostly because their hobby is being wrong about stuff, but we’ll go see what he’s doing on this new single, “Jungle Bunny,” and maybe we can all be miserable together. OK, this isn’t house music or anything like that, it’s like this spazzy, grunge-tinged mess, like Afrika Bambaataa trying to be Skrillex, or vice versa, entrance music for partygoers who are into “ballroom opulence” and maximum fakeness. I have no use for this, nor do you. • The Philistines Jr. is the experimental-pop brainchild of New Yorker Peter Katis, who has produced such diverse acts as Death Cab for Cutie, Tokyo Police Club and whatnot. The project’s new album Help! includes the song “What?” and although the music has a weirdly soaring, Orbital-ish hook, I found the video quite stupid, an obfuscatory pastiche of mixed messages about the various protest movements going on right now around the world, perhaps you’ve heard of them. It’s impossible to tell where Katis stands. Not that rock music was going to play any important role in the zeitgeist, but what a fail. Shut up, Katis. • Finally we have Girl Ray, with an LP called Girl! The title track has some lush, very pretty parts, and some really stupid ones. It’s like relaxing in Costa Rica in a beach tent, but there’s a giant bee that won’t buzz off. — Eric W.

Just in time for Halloween, New Hampshire Humanities launched a new podcast exploring the strange and unusual chapters of New Hampshire’s history, from witchcraft to UFOs. “The podcast space is exploding right now; everyone has one,” said Tricia Peone, public programs manager and host of the show. “So earlier this year, when we were talking about what kinds of projects we should work on, one idea was starting a podcast.” The first story is a three-part series called The Real Witches of New Hampshire. The first episode, The Rarest of Witches, explores the history of witchcraft in New Hampshire. The second episode will include conversations with local modern-day witches, and the third episode will look at how witchcraft has been portrayed in pop culture over time. “In our reporting, we talked to historians, people in museums and libraries in New Hampshire, and some people who practice witchcraft,” said Peone, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of New Hampshire in early American history with a specialization in the history of science. “It was fun to meet new people and hear about their perspectives on these topics.” Peone is an expert in early modern witchcraft cases and the history of magic and the occult and has taught classes on the Salem witch trials and New England history. “We picked witches for the first [story] because it’s my area of expertise,” she said. The Real Witches is produced in collaboration with New Hampshire Public Radio and stars NHPR’s Justine Paradis as co-host. “Our partnership with NHPR brings us the audio and technical skills, so the different music and atmosphere that makes
[the podcast] more compelling to listen to,” Peone said. “I think we might potentially collaborate on more episodes with [NHPR],” Peone said. The first and second episodes of The Real Witches are available online now at nhhumanities.org/podcast, along with a suggested reading list of books in which people can learn more about the topics. The third episode comes out next week. According to Peone, a future episode or series will explore the history and culture of UFOs in New Hampshire. “New Hampshire is famous in UFO circles,” Peone said. (The “Exeter Incident,” in which a young hitchhiker and two police officers reported seeing a UFO near a farmhouse in the Kensington woods just south of Exeter in 1965, was highly publicized and has drawn many UFO enthusiasts to New Hampshire.) Peone said New Hampshire Humanities has nothing else planned at present for the podcast and that the next story will be “at least another month or two in production.” Future stories may be single episodes or multi-episode series. New Hampshire Humanities “provides wide-ranging, thought-provoking programs that connect people to culture, history, places, ideas and one another,” as stated on its website, and, according to Peone, the addition of a podcast to its programming helps further its mission. “We have so many programs in the state — live and in-person events — so we thought having programming available to people wherever they are and allowing them to access humanities programs online would be a cool way to reach more people.”

You have to admire Joe Hill, if only for the reason that he goes by Joe Hill. His real name is Joseph Hillström King, but he adopted a pen name so his work could stand apart from that of his famous father. It’s a noble but ineffective strategy because the guy is the spitting image of a young Stephen King. His latest is Full Throttle, a collection of 13 stories prefaced with a moving reflection about what it was like to have the master of terror for a dad. “We had a new monster every night,” he begins, launching into family anecdotes that help to explain why some of Hill’s work is so similar to his father’s, and why it took years of baldfaced rejection before he found success. “You get the life you’re dealt, and if you’re going to write, that’s your ink. It’s the only ink you get. Mine was just very red,” he wrote from his home in Exeter, N.H. He recruited his father’s help on “Throttle” because he had no experience riding motorcycles, and Stephen King did. The opening sentence sticks to you like Velcro: “They rode west from the slaughter, through the painted desert, and did not stop until they were a hundred miles away.” What follows is best described as Breaking Bad meets On Golden Pond. The slaughter, as it turns out, was a sickeningly bloody encounter that ultimately turns into a cat-and-mouse game of revenge over a meth deal gone bad. But there’s also a father-son story thrumming throughout, as a grizzled biker comes to terms with the son he produced, a son who could split a friend’s head open with a shovel over lost money. I care nothing for motorcycles or slaughter, but this tale held me rapt, as did another that I didn’t expect to like: “Twittering from the Circus of the Dead.” Told entirely in tweets, the story follows an obnoxious teen on a family road trip in which she mostly complains about her mother, whom she earnestly wants to strangle with an ethernet cable. On the way home the family stops at an attraction called Circus of the Dead, which is populated by zombies. Again, this turns sickening in short order, but it is a train wreck of a story in the best possible way: You can’t look away. “Late Returns,” my favorite, is about a man who returns to his parents’ home in a fictional town in New Hampshire. A truck driver with an unused English degree from Boston University, he needs a way to earn money while he cleans out his parents’ house, and so he takes a job driving a bookmobile for the public library. The clientele, as it turns out, have sometimes expired themselves, making their books seriously overdue, sometimes by a couple of decades.
“In one sense, you know, it’s perfectly unremarkable,” his boss tells him. “It’s quite common to enter a library and find yourself in conversation with the dead. The best minds of generations long gone crowd every bookshelf. They wait there to be noticed, to be addressed, and to reply in turn.” The story turns poignant when a dead woman comes in to return a book and the bookmobile driver gives her a copy of a book written by her son, the son she believes is still fighting in Vietnam. Things get even more complicated when she mails it to him. My least favorite, “The Devil on the Staircase,” suffered because of its form: all but three pages composed in small triangles, to look like stairs. Clever, yes, but maddening to read. The closing story, “You Are Released,” is a gripping tale of individual reactions when passengers on a plane to Boston learn of a disturbing flash over Guam that ultimately reroutes the flight and portends global doom. For me, Stephen King was a phase, born of a teenage obsession with Pet Sematary. Then I got older and had kids, kids that could conceivably be run down by semis and need planting in a Micmac burying ground, and the tension and darkness lost its appeal. But over the years, I’d forgotten how you shut the door on your own life when you opened one of King’s books. Hill’s writing is hypnotic like that. Stephen King, too, once wrote with a pseudonym, but once it was discovered he stopped using it. Hill says he’s glad to be free of the “mask,” that he breathes better without it. But the mask served a purpose. Behind it, he tended a prodigious talent that New Hampshire can be proud to claim. A — Jennifer Graham

Linda Hamilton, Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron (with “story by” and producer credits) return in Terminator: Dark Fate, another movie in the Terminator franchise.
Remember 2015’s Terminator Genisys? What about Terminator Salvation (you may know it as “Terminator: Christian Bale”)? No? Don’t worry, because none of that matters! For purposes of this movie, nothing involving Claire Danes (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines) or the Sarah Connors played by the Mother of Dragons (Emilia Clarke in Genisys) or Queen Cersei (Lena Headey in the Fox TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) matters at all. We kick off with a post-Terminator 2 story, which then jumps into the present day, where Sarah Connor is back to being Linda Hamilton (who is 63 and maybe not giving Meryl Streep a run for her money, acting-wise, but wins the Awesomeness award for being both bad-ass and believably 63). But before we are reintroduced to 2019 Sarah Connor, we meet Grace (Mackenzie Davis), an augmented Terminator-like human, who lightning-time-travel-arrives from 2042 on a bridge in Mexico. She is sent to protect Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes), a woman she finds at roughly the same time as the Rev-9 (Gabriel Luna), the latest in Terminator technology, also sent back to find (and kill) Dani. Soon Dani and Grace are on the run from this unstoppable killing machine who can not only turn into liquid metal but also pop out a metal skeleton to produce two unstoppable killing machines when one is, say, temporarily pinned by a metal rod to a truck. And then Linda Hamilton shows up, all explosions and “I’ll be back.” There is a scene where Sarah and Grace, who form an uneasy alliance to protect Dani, are trying to figure out the source of texts that led Sarah to travel to this latest Terminator appearance. Grace grabs Sarah’s phone and starts to fiddle with the innards. What are you doing, Sarah asks. Future stuff, Grace says (well, not “stuff” exactly). I kind of like that this movie lets “future stuff” be the explanation for a lot of things. (Better an open “yada yada and now we’re here” than a lot of gobbledygook of the “let’s explain the nature of Infinity Stones” variety.) Sarah Connor’s original apocalypse never happened, no John Connor-led resistance and no Skynet. Freed of timeline canon, this movie just sticks to the basics — bad robot, good robot (well, robot-ish person), straight-man-ishly stiff Schwarzenegger (which is his appropriate speed; he shows up about halfway through the movie and “future stuff” is about the explanation for this as well) and a bad-ass lady. This movie doesn’t offer more, but then I don’t need more, where I realize some might. (I have no deep and lasting Terminator love, as some “T2 was my Star Wars” fans might; I think I’ve seen all of the movies except Genisys but they kind of mush together for me.)

Terminator: Dark Fate
Actually, this movie has a lot of bad-ass ladies. This movie has no time for men; even the helpful one is informed that he’s on borrowed time. This, along with whatever this movie is doing by having border control detention centers serve as a plot point, feels like a ham-handed choice made for ill-defined reasons. But I didn’t hate it. Even when it’s goofy, bad-ass lady action heroes are still a rare enough thing that I tend to have fun with it. I didn’t hate this movie either for all that it is occasionally silly and very “future stuff, don’t ask questions” when it comes to its plot. After years of watching Old Schwarzenegger and Old Sylvester Stallone fight the baddies and save the girl, I can forgive a lot for the fun of watching 63-year-old Linda Hamilton do the same and the girls fight to save themselves. C+ Rated R for violence, language throughout, and brief nudity,according to the MPAA. Directed by Tim Miller with a screenplay by David S. Goyer & Justin Rhodes and Billy Ray, Terminator: Dark Fate is two hours and eight minutes long and distributed by Paramount Pictures.
Harriet (PG-13)
Harriet Tubman escapes slavery in Maryland and then works to help others reach freedom in Harriet, a flat but still effective biopic of the woman who is supposed to be on the new $20 bill.
If nothing else, this movie makes a solid case for Tubman being on U.S. currency. Harriet Tubman (Cynthia Erivo), called Minty when we first meet her, lives on a plantation in Maryland. Though her father, Ben Ross (Clarke Peters), and her husband, John Tubman (Zackary Momoh), are free, Harriet and her mother and her siblings are enslaved. Even under the laws propping up slavery, their enslavement is illegal, with a previous owner having freed Harriet’s mother, Rit (Vanessa Bell Calloway), and all of her children in his will. But the thoroughly villainous Brodess family (who get an unnecessary amount of screentime in this movie) — old man Edward
(Mike Marunde), his wife Eliza (Jennifer Nettles) and their adult son Gideon (Joe Alwyn) — have ignored this stipulation and, after Edward dies, Gideon seeks to sell Harriet and later other family members to pay off debts. Harriet, not wanting to risk John’s free status, escapes on her own, making it to Philadelphia, where she is told to contact William Still (Leslie Odom Jr.), a man we later learn is instrumental in helping people escape enslavement and resettle (in the northern U.S. and later, as the situation grows more dire, in Canada). Harriet finds lodging with and a friend in Marie Buchanon (Janelle Monae, doing the best she can with an exposition-heavy character), the owner of a boarding house who also helps Harriet, as she has others, find a job. But Harriet wants her husband and family to join her in this new life. Against Still’s advice she travels back to Maryland using false papers and goes to see her husband — who unfortunately thought she was dead for long enough that he has remarried and his new wife, who is also a free person, is expecting a child. Despondent, Harriet decides to help her brothers and others escape instead. Her success in helping people escape their places of enslavement and travel north to Pennsylvania earns her much respect from members of the Underground Railroad and other abolitionist groups but also earns her the nickname “Moses” and a bounty for her capture in the South. This is not a perfect movie. There is a kind of middle school report approach to laying out the facts of Tubman’s life, giving us an Important Woman in American History more often than it allows us to see a human person. The times when we do get to see a person and know something of her inner life I feel are due to the skill of Erivo, who brings a lot more to the material (which has a bit of a 1980s TV movie feel to it at times) than I feel like is there on the page. The movie occasionally wanders into superhero territory; the Spidey sense it gives Tubman, who has seizures as the result of a childhood injury and has a deep faith that the movie doesn’t always seem to know what to do with, is awkwardly conveyed. But Erivo is able to pull it back and
deliver moments of her character channeling recognizable reactions and deliberations of a real (if superlatively smart and brave) person. The movie also skips A Lot of interesting life experiences — and I say this based just on a skimming of Tubman’s Wikipedia page. The score has its moments — the use of Nina Simone feels both nice and a bit on the nose — and its use of music as part of Harriet’s life (maybe, specifically, part of her faith) is an interesting detail. But it also has a refrain that made me think of the James Bond theme music every time I heard it, which is a weird place to go in the middle of your Harriet Tubman movie. Despite this, despite an overall sense that a person this momentous deserves a much better movie, Harriet still manages to perform some solid biopic work. It gives us at least an element of who Tubman was, conveys to some degree how great her efforts were and how big and horrible the evil she was fighting against was. The movie is not seamless, but it can still make you feel justifiable anger. B+ Rated PG-13 for thematic content throughout, violent material and language including racial epithets, according to the MPAA. Directed by Kasi Lemmons with a screenplay by Gregory Allen Howard and Kasi Lemons, Harriet is two hours and five minutes long and distributed by Focus Features.
The Lighthouse (R)
Two men tend a lighthouse and weirdness ensues in The Lighthouse.
And that basic description is probably all I can say for certain actually happens in The Lighthouse. Two men, one who is probably named Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe) and a man who calls himself Ephraim Winslow (Robert Pattinson), are left for what we’re told is going to be four weeks of duty at a lighthouse on an island where they are the only two people. (Or are they just the only two human people? Or the only two living people?) The light is probably accompanied by a foghorn; I’m mostly certain that foghorn we hear throughout is not just part of the score, at least not all the time. The men definitely have to share one bedroom (outfitted with chamber pots, because this is Olden Times), which is not an ideal living situation for the junior Winslow. Also not ideal for Winslow is his position on this mission — Wake won’t let him near the actual light, which Winslow itches to tend and Wake is extremely possessive of. At some point, possibly very quickly after the men arrive, one or both of them start to go mad. Or maybe one or both of them was mad already. (Or maybe one of them is purposefully driving the other mad. Or maybe solitude is doing a number on both.) Equally quickly, everything that happens becomes just off kilter enough that we in the audience (and possibly the characters themselves) aren’t entirely certain what is actually happening, what is a hallucination and what is a dream. Everybody is an unreliable narrator of everything, including the passage of time.
I didn’t see The Witch, the first feature movie from this movie’s director/co-writer Robert Eggers, so I didn’t know what to expect going in to The Lighthouse — I don’t think I even understood it to be a horror movie, which it is and in a classic sense (also “classic” in the sense that this movie’s black-and-white film makes everything seem gloomier and more nightmare-ish and that the framing and the facial expressions often seem to purposefully call to mind the earliest horror films). I don’t even have a central coherent impression of my feelings about this movie; I found myself occasionally, surprisingly laughing out loud, genuinely creeped out and occasionally lulled into sleepiness (though never bored, really). “Wait, what is happening” is probably the thought I had most frequently, along with the follow-up thought that while there were maybe at least two ways to read a situation, it remained interesting enough that I could just sort of go with it. Part of this is due to the standout performances offered by both Pattinson and Dafoe, who make all the uncertainty, stag-
iness and creepiness work and make sense at least within the context of this movie’s universe. If you want to totally break free from the vampire franchise of your 20s and establish yourself as a character actor in your 30s, going full unabashed nutball as Pattinson does here is a great way to do it. Even through indies like Damsel I was still seeing “that Twilight guy.” I did not feel that way here. Likewise, Dafoe really leans in to how thoroughly he can convey crazy, letting his face and his eyes do enough work that each could qualify for its own credit. The Lighthouse is thoroughly odd, unexpectedly strangely funny, occasionally unpleasant and overall so weird that I feel like you maybe have to see it to even believe it exists. B Rated R for sexual content, nudity, violence, disturbing images and some language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Robert Eggers and written by Max Eggers and Robert Eggers, The Lighthouse is an hour and 50 minutes long and distributed by A24.

• Maine attraction: With an ever-changing act, comedian Bob Marley generates a lot of return business, which is why he’s booked for four shows over three days. To put a finer point on it, Marley made the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest standup comedy show by an individual — without telling the same joke twice. He riffs on his home state of Maine, marriage and family foibles. Friday, Nov. 8, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 9, at 6 and 8:30 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. at Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S. Main St., Concord. Tickets $34.50 at ccanh.com. • Heroic jamming: The week’s gathering of blues players is a Jammin’ for Vets benefit on the day before Veterans Day. Hosted by WanTu Blues and benefiting Veterans Count, the all-day event includes morning yoga and a boot camp, a raffle, and a jam that’s now in its 10th year; 10 percent of all food and drink sales go to the cause. Sunday, Nov. 10, 3 p.m., Village Trestle, 24 Main St., Goffstown, 497-8230. • Blues power: Legendary guitarist Buddy Guy performs an area show. The Torch, a documentary on his career, recently premiered at the Chicago International Film Festival, with the city declaring a day in his honor. In September, Guy played at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival, and he just finished a brief Experience Hendrix tour with Joe Satriani, Jonny Lang, Billy Cox and Dweezil Zappa. Tuesday, Nov. 12, 8 p.m., Tupelo Music Hall, 10 A St., Derry. Tickets $95-$125 at tupelohall.com. • Remember when: Curated by Robbie Robertson, the Last Waltz Tour is a look back at The Band’s farewell concert, with an allstar lineup including Warren Haynes, Jamey Johnson, Lukas Nelson, John Medeski, Don Was, Dave Malone, Terence Higgins, Cyril Neville, Bob Margolin, Mark Mullins and the Levee Horns. It promises new arrangements of the classic songs performed that Thanksgiving night in 1976. Thursday, Nov. 7, 1, 8 p.m., Casino Ballroom, 169 Ocean Blvd., Hampton. Tickets $89 and up at ticketmaster.com.
The first person to utter, “You can take the boy out of New York City, but you can’t take New York City out of the boy” was probably thinking of someone like Eddie Pepitone. Born and raised in Staten Island, he moved to southern California nearly two decades ago for a part in Will Ferrell’s breakout movie Old School, and he never left. He became a mainstay at The Comedy Store and other L.A. clubs while finding steady work in television and films. The tug of his old home remains, though. “It’s a great comedy scene, but I do miss the East coast; there’s no question about it,” Pepitone said in a recent phone interview. “I feel like L.A. is a blank white canvas. … I say in my act that the sun comes out every day like an alcoholic parent, just berating you to do your best.” Pepitone’s standup is a blend of borough attitude, leathery intellect and rumpled angst. It’s a talent that’s roundly beloved by his brethren. In Bitter Buddha, the 2013 documentary titled after his nickname, fellow comic Dana Gould likened him to “the guitarist that all the other guitar players go to see.” On stage, he moves seamlessly from self-deprecation to what he terms “whaling on the crowd” — for not reading enough, or wasting time watching YouTube videos of people opening presents. “I find that kind of fascinating, and horrifying at the same time,” he says of a culture that rewards things like bare handed chalk crushing with thousands of views, while others go hungry working multiple jobs. “We live in a combination of a Charles Dickens and a Philip K. Dick novel; there’s all this technology, all our data is mined, and everything you do is record-
ed, but the homeless population … is insane.” He cites cantankerous comics like Jackie Gleason and Don Rickles as influences, along with acerbic thinkers like Bill Hicks and George Carlin. One great bit of Pepitone’s, featured recently on Comedy Central’s This Is Not Happening, centered on losing his virginity to a college professor who seduced him with a study session of Marx’s Das Kapital. Pepitone claims he found his calling at age 14. “I spent my days and nights entertaining my friends. I’ve always had that knack,” he said. His father, an educator, pressured him to be a doctor; instead he dropped out of college just credits short of a degree. “I started studying acting in New York City,” he said. “I would do scenes from serious plays like Death of a Salesman. People would just be cracking up, so I knew I was going to be a comedian.” His upbringing is a big part of Pepitone’s mojo. “My dad is Sicilian and my mom is Jewish, which is a combination of people who read a lot and people who yell a lot,” he said. “I’m blue collar; I love hockey and baseball and football, but then I’m studying Buddhism and reading political stuff.” He’s a natural at crowd work. “Audiences love when you talk about the actual room they are in,” he said. “When I bring up a guy that they can see, and say he has a face like I owe him money, they know this is a moment just for them. Everything is on TV, but there’s still something to live performances.” Though he’s done standup for over three decades, an upcoming date at Shaskeen Pub will be his first appearance in New Hampshire.

“I’m looking forward to it; I may have passed through there before on my way to Maine, but I don’t think I’ve hung out,” he said. He’s heard good things about audiences at the Shaskeen’s weekly comedy night. “Sounds like my thing. … I can go anywhere without them getting offended or upset,” he said. “I love going off the top of my head and whizzing into absurdity, that’s one of my favorite things. With some of the audiences, they’re not into it; they just want to hear the jokes. But this sounds like a very savvy comedy crowd.” Eddie Pepitone w/ JT Habersaat When: Wednesday, Nov. 13, 8 p.m. Where: Shaskeen Pub, 909 Elm St., Manchester Tickets: $15 at brownpapertickets.com

All quotes are from Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman, by Yvon Chouinard, born Nov. 9, 1938. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Whenever we needed more corduroy, seven old men had to come out of retirement to crank up their machine at the mill. You may need to come out of retirement. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Complexity is often a sure sign that the functional needs have not been solved. Forget about bells and whistles until you know it works. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) No young kid growing up ever dreams of someday becoming a businessman. … I wanted to be a fur trapper when I grew up. Your dreams may be undergoing some updating. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) While the defective rugby shirts were emptying our account, Malinda and I had to endure endless boring lunches trying to convince bankers that we really didn’t need any money, which was their bottomline criterion for lending us some. There may be some boring lunches. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) I began to see clothing as a way to help support the marginally profitable hardware business. At the time we had about 75 percent of the climbing hardware market, but we still weren’t making much of a profit. One business can help another. Aries (March 21 – April 19) A substantial percentage of the climbing jackets we make end up on the ski slopes rather than granite walls, even though we tailor our marketing efforts to climbers. We try to keep anomalies like that in mind. Do you even need a jacket for climbing? Taurus (April 20 – May 20) If our future customers are going to send back their pants to us to be recycled when they are no longer usable, then the smart businessman would try to make his pants so they last as long as possible, because
NITE SUDOKU
you really don’t want to see all those pants come back very soon. Before you recycle, you’ll want to reduce and reuse. Gemini (May 21 – June 20) But polypropylene, like pile, had its problems. It had a very low melting temperature, and customers were melting their underwear in commercial Laundromat dryers, which are often much hotter than home dryers. Be careful not to melt your underwear. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) The language and cultural differences made me a loner, and I spent most of my time off by myself. Before the other kids in my neighborhood were even allowed to cross the street on their own, I was bicycling seven or eight miles to reach a lake on a private golf course, where I hid in the willows away from the guards and fished for bluegills and bass. You have to cross the street before you can fish in the golf course. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) All the better if they have excellent qualifications for whatever job we hire them for, but we’ll often take a risk on an itinerant rock climber that we wouldn’t on a run-of-the-mill MBA. Finding a dyed-in-thewool businessperson to take up climbing or river running is a lot more difficult than teaching a person with a ready passion for the outdoors how to do a job. Of course we do hire some people strictly for their technical expertise. We have employees who never sleep outside or who have never peed in the woods. You don’t need to have all the qualifications; you just need some. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Breaking the rules and making my own system work are the creative part of management that is particularly satisfying for me. But I don’t jump into things without doing my homework. It’s homework time. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) Some choices are simple: Do you want your goat cheese plain or with chives? Simple.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
Inexplicable
Mothers Lounge, a company catering to new mothers, has conceived some awkward conversations for women on the receiving end of a recent marketing campaign. The company sent out maternity congratulations cards signed by “Jenny B” that included gift cards and coupons for products attractive to pregnant women. The problem is, as the BBC reported, many of the recipients aren’t pregnant. A woman in Memphis, Tennessee, tweeted: “Who the hell is Jenny B and why did she send me $245 in gift cards to my childhood home congratulating me on my pregnancy?! This is literally how my mother thought she was finding out that I was pregnant. I’m calling the FBI.” Another woman’s mother was “immediately so excited and freaked out ... I had to quickly tell her I am not in fact pregnant.” Mothers Lounge spokesman Scott Anderson explained that a third-party marketing company provided the mailing list. Sounds like a false-positive to us.

Convicted bank robber and career criminal Michael Jauernik, 71, received a sentence of more than 12 years in prison in Germany on Oct. 7 but managed to stall his incarceration by delivering a five-day-long closing statement that included anecdotes about his career in crime and details about his fitness routine. Twenty hours into the soliloquy, the judge finally cut him off, saying she wished she had done so earlier in light of his “excessive digressions,” The Guardian reported. Jauernik, who wore sunglasses throughout his trial, told the court, “I am more intelligent and clever than any employee of the criminal police agency, that much is sure.”
Hard to find good help
After six years of litigation, six men were found guilty of attempted murder in late October in Guangxi, China, for participating in a chain of subcontracted murder-for-hire plots that never resulted in a death. Businessman Tan Youhui started the chain by hiring a hit man to “take out” a rival identified only as Mr. Wei, reported the BBC. That hit man then subcontracted a second hit man to do the dirty deed. Hit man No. 2 subcontracted with hit man No. 3, who then reached out to hit man No. 4. After getting the nod from No. 4, hit man No. 5, Ling Xiansi, decided on a different scheme: He contacted the target, Mr. Wei, and proposed they fake the murder and take the cash, which by this point amounted to 100,000 yen. Wei agreed, then reported the case to the police. Tan and the five hitmen will serve sentences ranging from 31 months to five years.

Miguel Angel Reyes-Avila, 23, of Half Moon Bay, California, waited patiently until his neighbors took their dog for a walk on Oct. 6, then pounced, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office. The San Jose Mer-
cury News reports Reyes-Avila then allegedly entered their home through an open window and lifted about $4,000 worth of jewelry, plus the keys to their 2009 Mitsubishi. When the neighbors returned home and found their car gone, they called police, who asked neighborhood folks to share their security footage. Most helpful was the video from Reyes-Avila’s own home, provided by another resident who was happy to help law enforcement. The camera caught a suspect driving away in the car, and sheriff’s office spokesperson Rosemerry Blankswade said officers recognized Reyes-Avila from earlier incidents and arrested him on Oct. 10 on charges of felony burglary and grand theft auto.
Precocious pet
Archie, a French bulldog/Boston terrier mix who lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his human, Dee Borkowski, is in the doghouse after a fiery event on Oct. 16. As Borkowski watched Archie via her home security camera, he contentedly lounged on the couch, chewing on a cigarette lighter. Suddenly, United Press International reported, the lighter ignited, and her couch burst into flames. Borkowski called the fire department, and the 10-month-old puppy escaped unhurt, although her apartment suffered thousands of dollars of damage. Borkowski has changed Archie’s Instagram handle to “Archie the Arsonist.”
Unconventional sports
Housekeepers from The Venetian hotel in Las Vegas took first place in the Las Vegas Housekeeping Olympics on Oct. 23, beating out second- and third-place teams from The Mirage and Circus Circus, United Press International reported. The competition, which took place at the Mandalay Bay resort, included bed-making contests, vacuum races and a toilet paper toss. Mandalay Bay President Chuck Bowling said the Olympics are a way of celebrating overlooked workers in the hospitality industry.
People with issues
Residents of the Oakland neighborhood in Topeka, Kansas, called police just after midnight on Oct. 27 to report that someone was driving construction equipment around the area. The Topeka Capital Journal reported that when officers arrived, they found 46-year-old Shane Dee Funk behind the wheel of a loader, a piece of heavy equipment, driving it through yards and streets and damaging property. Police Capt. Colleen Stuart said Funk refused to stop for officers, and “numerous residences in the loader’s path were evacuated for safety purposes.” When Funk turned the loader toward police, they fired nonlethal bean bag pellets at him to disable him. Funk was treated at a hospital, then booked into the Shawnee County Jail on charges of felony theft, criminal damage to property, aggravated assault to a law enforcement officer and fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement.
