Former Revenue Officer here to help you solve your tax problems.
Today, in New Hampshire, only about 50 percent of working adults actually have some form of credentials that show their expertise in specific fields. Those credentials could be certificates, licenses or degrees in careers ranging from massage therapy to mixology to rocket science. There’s a group in New Hampshire that feels strongly that the number of credentialed workers is far too low and wants to do something about it. The New Hampshire Coalition for Business and Education — a group made up of an all-star team of New Hampshire business executives and educators and led by Tom Raffio, president of Northeast Delta Dental and chairman of the NH State Board of Education, and Fred Kocher, former head of the high-tech council — has voted to support an effort to raise this number significantly. Additionally, the Community College Board has voted to target raising the number to 65 percent by 2025. That would be a 30-percent increase in New Hampshire adult workers having some form of certification. This will not be an easy number to reach. The only way that this is going to become a reality is for businesses and educators to put forth a united effort. What strategy could New Hampshire employ that would accomplish this bold task? I’ll give you my answer: 10,000 MENTORS! 1,000 MENTORS for Manchester! When the 1,000 MENTORS for Manchester project was made public, the first group that approached Manchester Superintendent of Schools Dr. Debra Livingston was Christenson Plumbing and Heating. They told us that not only would they be willing to mentor interested high school students but they would pay these students and put them on a path to getting licensed! This is the answer to our credentialing challenge. Let’s replicate the Christenson model 10,000 times all over the state of New Hampshire and 1,000 times in Manchester. The credentialing effort will be a significant component of building an education-driven economy. There should be high praise to the NHCBE for voting to support the credentialing project, 10,000 MENTORS and a number of other great components of EducationDriven Economic Development (ED2). What could your role be in this bold undertaking? We need mentors, especially ones who help young students get the credentials they need for the jobs that they want. Fred Bramante is the past chairman and member of the NH State Board of Education.

Thursday, May 14, 6-7:30 PM Dartmouth-Hitchcock Manchester 100 Hitchcock Way, Manchester, NH The week of May 10 is Food Allergy Awareness week! Do you, a family member, or a friend suffer from food allergies? Food allergy affects an estimated 6-8% of children under age three and up to 3% of adults and is an immune system reaction that occurs soon after eating a certain food. Even a tiny amount of the allergy-causing food can trigger signs and symptoms such as digestive problems, hives or swollen airways. In some people, a food allergy can cause severe symptoms or even a lifethreatening reaction known as anaphylaxis. Join Dr. Marie-Helene Sajous, Allergist at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Bedford, as she discusses common food allergens and how they occur, how to differentiate food allergy from other food reactions, and the role of genetics. Dr. Sajous will be speaking about signs and symptoms, management, and prognosis. Register today - visit dartmouth-hitchcock.org and click on Classes & Events, or call (603) 302-1633. Light refreshments will be served.

NEWS & NOTES
Laconia Pumpkin fest
The 25th Anniversary Pumpkin Festival will officially take place in Laconia in this year. Festival coordinator Ruth Sterling of Let it Shine, the non-profit organizing the festival, announced the new location and the Oct. 24 date after meeting with Mayor Edward Engler, City Manager Scott Meyers and Fire Chief Ken Erickson, according to John Moriarty, the president of the Laconia Main Street Initiative. In a release sent by Sterling, she credited Charlie St. Clair, the executive director of Laconia’s Motorcycle Week, for being instrumental in ensuring there wouldn’t be an off year. Moriarty said the move is the result of about two or three weeks of talks. “The business community is thrilled, the resident community is thrilled, ecstatic that the pumpkin festival is coming to Laconia,” Moriarty said. According to Sterling’s release, the motion passed by the Let it Shine board does not commit the festival to Laconia for future years. It also provides for coordinating with towns hosting their own pumpkin festivals, such as the towns of Claremont, Nashua, Hampton and Keene.
Hassan emails
Of the countless Sony documents possibly hacked by North Korea and leaked by Wikileaks, emails from New Hampshire’s governor to Sony Entertainment’s CEO are among them. Gov. Maggie Hassan sent a message to CEO Michael Lynton on March 27, 2014, hoping to connect with him during a visit in LA between April 30 and May 2. Lynton responded a few hours later saying, “I never see too much of the Hassans!” In emails between Hassan campaign staffers and Lynton’s office dated a few days after her visit, the Sony exec was asked to donate $7,000

In women we trust
Campaign seeks to replace Jackson with Parks, Roosevelt, Tubman or Chief Mankiller on the $20 bill Women in the running
By Ryan Lessard
news@hippopress.com
From Washington and Lincoln, Grant and Hamilton, the tradition in America is to depict a dead president on our money. There have been some major exceptions, like Benjamin Franklin — but, in the last century or so at least, no women, at least not on paper currency.
The $20 bill
America is arguably unique in the English-speaking world since several commonwealth countries like Canada and Australia already depict a woman, namely Queen Elizabeth II, on their banknotes. So why doesn’t the U.S.? That’s the question Sen. Jeanne Shaheen posed to the U.S. Senate floor when she presented a bill in April that would get the ball rolling for putting a woman’s face on the $20 bill. Shaheen’s press secretary, Vivek Kembaiyan, said the bill would have the Treasury Department convene a citizens panel to decide which woman to place on the 20. “Given how important it is to recognize the contributions of women to our country, … we think the $20 bill is a good way to do that, at least to start,” Kembaiyan said. He said the current portrait of President Andrew Jackson was placed on the 20 after a similar panel was convened in the 1920s to replace Grover Cleveland. And he said,
Will Rosa Parks or Eleanor Roosevelt greet you at the ATM? Images courtesy Women on 20s.
traditionally, bill design goes up for review every seven to 12 years for changes. “The $20 bill is overdue for one of those changes based on this typical timeline,” Kembaiyan said. “The other thing is the $20 bill is very ubiquitous. It’s used a lot more by ordinary citizens than, say, the $50
bill or the $100 bill.” As for which woman should be selected for the honor, current rules already stipulate the honoree can’t be living. So even if Hillary Clinton becomes the first female president, she would not immediately qualify.
A campaign called Women on 20s, or W20, has been pushing for the change since it incorporated a year ago. Its executive director, Susan Stone, said online voting on a female candidate has been going on since March 1. In the first round of voting, which lasted five weeks, the field was narrowed to four candidates. “We see these votes as building a mandate for making this change,” said Stone. “We use this system of asking the public to weigh in as a way of engaging them and getting them to take some kind of small action that would put some force behind this request.” Stone said they’ve received about 300,000 votes so far in the second round. And one candidate, Cherokee Chief Wilma Mankiller, was added late after W20 received countless comments on social media suggesting how appropriate it would be for Mankiller to displace Andrew Jackson. Jackson was the president who signed the Indian Removal Act which lead to the Trail of Tears. The other three finalists are first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, civil rights champion Rosa Parks and abolitionist Harriet Tubman. But no matter who wins this online election, the panel created by Shaheen’s bill would start from scratch to make its selection. And Stone knows that. “We’re only making a suggestion here of who the portrait should be,” Stone said.
N.H. citizens weigh in Curious what the people of New Hampshire thought of this effort, the Hippo asked around downtown Manchester. Folks like John Fosher of Manchester like the idea. “I think it would be awesome,” Fosher said. “I think [women] take better charge than us men.” Jordan Wood of Meredith agrees. “It would be a good thing to see, I think,” Wood said.
He’d like to see Rosa Parks on the 20. Andrew Giroux thinks it’s fine as long as it’s the $20 bill. “[Andrew Jackson was] not one of the greatest presidents, so it wouldn’t be the worst thing to get rid of him. I think it would be different if you were getting rid of Washington.” Giroux said. But Shelly Roy of Raymond doesn’t want to see a change. “I’d rather leave it the status quo,” Roy
said. “I’m kind of old-school. I don’t like to change things as they go.” As for who should go on the bill, Rosa Parks seems to be a popular choice. Lina, who elected not to give her last name, is glad to see Jackson go. She said Parks was her first choice until she heard the lesser-known Wilma Mankiller was an option. “Just for the name Mankiller, I am gonna have to go with Mankiller,” Lina said. “I
mean how can you beat Mankiller?” But Quinn Robinson of Manchester is wary of putting anyone with such an ominous name on the 20. “Don’t put Mankiller on there,” Robinson said. “If they’re gonna have any female, it should be Rosa Parks.” The final round of voting ends on Mother’s Day, May 10.

ic expertise costs money and takes time. In the relatively small state of New Hampshire, virtually all that analysis — for things like fingerprints, DNA, toxicology and ballistics — is done in a single lab in Concord. Already backlogged, the forensic lab is now fighting to prevent any cuts to its budget by state lawmakers.
Backlogs
The State Police Forensic Laboratory receives evidence from all police departments and county sheriffs in the state. They even help federal agencies like the Drug Enforcement Agency or the Federal Bureau of Investigations when they’re working a local case.
The director of the forensic lab, Tim Pifer, said they’ve had about 46 employees in the lab since 2004, when they took over blood and urine testing that had previously been done by the Health Department and the Department of Corrections. Over the past decade, the lab has seen tremendous growth in its workload.

A study from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center suggests New Hampshire is improving its treatment of prostate cancer, NHPR reported. Over the past decade, there has been a shift away from uniform treatment towards delineating between high risk and low risk cancers. High risk prostate cancer is still addressed with radiation and surgery, but low risk cancer is increasingly addressed with monitoring. QOL Score: +1 Comment: The study reported that between 2004 and 2011, rates of radiation treatment for low-risk prostate cancer dropped by 30 percent.

A state initiative to help prevent home foreclosures said it helped approximately 750 households over the past two years, NHPR reported. Home Help NH was set up as a three-year program with $3.5 million from the National Mortgage Servicing Settlement. However, the funding ends after December 2015. But groups working with Home Help NH want to find funding to continue the program beyond this year. Foreclosure rates are still above pre-recession levels. QOL Score: +1 Comment: In 2010, foreclosures in New Hampshire hit a high of about 4,000. Last year there were about 2,000. Before the recession, there were an average of 500 to 800 foreclosures.

It’s that time of year — after a long, cold winter, amphibians are beginning to migrate to vernal pools to mate and lay eggs. Their young must hatch and grow legs before the pools dry up, which is a larger feat than usual because this late spring means a there’s a shorter window of time for that to happen, as described in an article by the Union Leader. Another issue these critters might have this year: the hot, dry summers that have become the norm in New Hampshire, which cause vernal pools to disappear sooner as well. QOL Score: -1 Comment: Over the next several weeks, take heed while driving during rainy nights; slow down, and look out for the critters scuttling across roads during their migration. New Hampshire Fish and Game encourages to report frog and salamander migration sightings to the Reptile and Amphibian Reporting program; visit wildlife.state.nh.us.

The SiTe of
Honorable Mention: Jared Sullinger’s 21-point, 11-rebound Game 4. Just think what he’ll do if he’d grows up a little and gets into real shape. Three Things I Didn’t Like: (1) The timid way Kelly Olynyk played. One point in 14 minutes the last two games, getting yanked three minutes into Game 3 and never returning, and the Kevin Love incident. He wasn’t trying to hurt Love on that dumb/soft play, but that boy’s got to get physically and mentally tougher. (2) I know in the end Brad Stevens was looking for a hot hand and it was their calling card, but I thought he went too deep (or maybe stayed too deep) into the bench at the expense of the hot hand like Tyler Zeller sitting out the rest of the first half after getting eight points in the first eight minutes of Game 1. (3) Evan Turner’s fluorescent green shoes. Yikes! Danny, when will you make them wear the same color sneaks so they stop looking like a CYO team? Like, I don’t know, black, to look like real Celtics. But I digress … Difference Between the C’s and Cavs: That’s simple — just two things. LeBron and Kyrie Irving. OK, two BIG things — stars who can carry a team for long stretches, make big shots and plays that make you go “Wow!” That adds up to about 12 points better than Boston, which I’ll break down the way they set the line in Vegas. They have three stars and the C’s have none. LeBron gives them a 6.5-point bump, while Irving is a plus 3.5 and they get two more for Love. So going into any game they have to make up that difference with hustle, team play, a hot hand, better bench and coaching. Kevin Love: When everyone was drooling about getting him after his high-profile visit to Fenway Park, I asked: If Love’s so good, how come he’s never gotten his team to the playoffs? And now I know why. He’s talented and racks up the numbers, but like Kevin McHale back in the
day, not good enough to build it all around. He’s perfectly suited to be the third wheel on a very good team as Chris Bosh was in Miami. Overall Benefits: One for the team, one for Celtics Nation and one for impatient and/or unrealistic fans. For the team, even with the losing they got a little playoff experience. That should help their poise next time around, which Brad Stevens said was lacking at times. I thought that’s what next year’s entrée into the playoffs would be for, but given the shape of the division, their quicker than expected improvement, and the means Danny has to improve them this summer, that necessary step is out of the way. Celtics Nation had the excitement of being back in the playoffs and seeing a spunky team literally keep fighting to the final seconds. The impatient/unrealistic types can now see where the C’s are in the building process. Which, when the schedule, travel and rest are equal as they are in the playoffs, is about 12 points below truly contending. Take-Away from the Series: It was a valuable benchmark to show Danny Ainge exactly where his team is as he works to get back to being a real title contender. So Was It Worth It? I don’t know if I can tell you right now. By missing the lottery they miss a (meager) shot at getting the high-end-type player needed to get significantly better. So the answer lies in whether the experience gained can be coupled with Danny’s ability to turn the current and future assets he’s assembled and/or the $30-plus million in cap space he now has into at least one major player. If he can, it was. And if he can get the right two, they’re back in it. We’ll deal with how to do that in a column right before the draft.

Great Events in Manchester
April 2002 – The Monarchs Win First Home Playoff Game Ever. Statewide flooding was front page news, a proposed $25 million price tag and need for a hotel to anchor the deal had naysayers pitching doomsday scenarios for building a minor league baseball park in town and once face of the franchise Drew Bledsoe would soon be shuffling off to Buffalo not long after Tom Brady and the Patriots had shocked the unbeatable Rams in the Super Bowl to become for the first time, the PATRIOTS! It was April 17, 2002, and 5,562 fans were packed into the brand new Verizon Wireless Arena to see the first home playoff game of the Manchester Monarchs. The Best of Five series was tied one game apiece as the Wolk Pack grabbed a 1-0 lead. Unbeknownst to them however, that was the day’s high point, as an Adam Mair goal soon after tied it at 1-1. Quick second period scores by Rob Valiceivic and Mair again started a four goal M’s run to make it 5-1 before the Pack got on the board again. Then, the conveniently just back from the mothership in LA, Mair iced it with his third goal - which, oh by the way, was also the first hat trick in team history. Unfortunately, up 2-1 was their high point, as they lost Game 4 and again in a double OT heartbreaker in Game 5 when goalie Travis Scott couldn’t make Marty Wilford’s one timer at 9:39 his 54th save while lying flat on his back. But, while it had a disappointing ending it was an exciting week of hockey for all and Game 3 was another great event for Manchester.

2015 Season Permit Type
With the Celtics now on vacation, what did we learn from their playoff series with the Cleveland Cavaliers? I mean besides that LeBron’s still really good and JR Smith is still a punk. In short, was their four-and-out experience worth losing a small shot to get into the top three spots of the draft lottery? To understand whether it was, let’s take a look at some things the series taught us. Three Things I Liked: (1) How they battled when down by big margins, especially Sunday, when even though they were down 3-0 and nearly 20 points in the fourth quarter they kept scrapping to score 18 in the final 2:47 to have the ball within two possessions to tie it in the final minute. That is a trait to be admired and one that will serve them well going forward. (2) The grit of Marcus Smart and Jae Crowder — every winning team needs that. Even though the dingbat rookie was late to Sunday’s shoot-around and will never be even a good shooter, he’s an opportunistic scorer and a physical, versatile defender who was very un-rookie-like bodying up on LeBron and Kyrie Irving to make them really work for it. Ditto for Crowder (please re-sign him), whose aggressiveness is a pain to play against, with the evidence being Perk’s forearms to the face, cheap-shot late-firsthalf pick and the backhand sucker punch from JR Smith on the play that ended his season. (3) Some say Isaiah Thomas got “exposed” because he had a bad Game 3 and couldn’t throw it in the ocean in Game 4. I say you can tell more about a guy when things go bad than when things are going well. So even when he couldn’t buy one on Sunday, I liked that he kept taking it to the rack to get to the line for needed points when they weren’t coming easy. Many hang their head and give up.

Comeback of the Week: To Merrimack, who came back from down 6-0 behind three hits by Joe Eichman and two apiece from Brendan Carter, Zack Amodio and James Lafond to rally for a 7-6 win over Trinity. Kyle Lawson got the win after giving up just one run over the final six innings as he struck out seven. School Demolition of Another of the Week: It starts with the whopping 27 runs by Windham’s baseball team in a 27-1 win over Pelham and includes the girls’ 12-1 softball win over Pelham to make it 39-2 in diamond sport wins over its neighbors on Thursday.

The Big Story: The Monarchs’ long weekend of three playoff games in four nights vs. Portland was like the inkblot test psychiatrists give to see if someone sees the glass half full or half empty. If you’re the former, you’re happy after seeing dominating 5-2 and 6-2 wins in Games 1 and 2. However, if you obsessed over what could have been if Portland hadn’t scored with two stinking seconds left to win 3-2 on Sunday, you’re probably the latter. Either way, they still have two chances to close out the Pirates, Thursday in Portland or if need be back at the world-famous Verizon Wireless Arena on Saturday with the puck dropping at 7 p.m. both nights. Sports 101: Amazingly the most individual players from any college to win an NBA Most Valuable Player award is just two. Name the three schools to do that and their MVP alumni players. Toughest Loss of the Week: To West’s Brandon Rees, who came up short in a duel with Portsmouth’s Kyle Maurice, who went the distance in a 1-0 win, despite giving up just one run over seven innings. I’ll Take It Win of the Week: To Goffstown, whose 1-0 win over Hanover came via a bases-loaded eighth-inning walk drawn by Cam Bond to drive in Kyle Perron with the game’s lone run.

Isaiah Thomas: Current Celtic of most value to any contender. But he will never be a star-quality player for such a team. He is what he is, an instant-energy/high-volume bench scorer like Vinnie (the Microwave) Johnson was back in the day for the dastardly Pistons and a defensive liability needing a favorable matchup. Anyone in the media and elsewhere thinking a 5’9” player can be otherwise in the NBA got a lot more exposed for not “getting it” than he did vs. Cleveland. Either way, Isaiah for the 30th pick in 2015 was a home run for Danny Ainge. Vinnie (the Microwave) Johnson: Fire hydrant built, combustible bench scorer for the ’80s-’90s Detroit Pistons. He heated instantly and when he did the barely-makeit-over-the-rim line drive jumpers were unstoppable. His head-to-head collision with Adrian Dantley that knocked both out cold in the waning seconds of Game 7 saved the C’s in 1987 in a way I haven’t seen before or since. Whew! Kevin McHale: A truly great player whose uniquely unstoppable scoring ability and defensive versatility earned him his place among the NBA’s Top 50 Players. However, given the devil-may-care personality and black-hole offensive game, he’s was more a complementary piece (maybe the greatest of that kind ever) than one to build a team around. That’s why the C’s still played over .600 ball when he was out and under .400 during the rare times Robert Parish was missing.

ARTS Artistic challenge of the season The Palace presents Les Misérables By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
This weekend, the Palace Theatre finally brings in Les Misérables, one of the most-seen productions in history. More than 65 million people have experienced the musical, based on the novel by French poet and novelist Victor Hugo, and the Manchester theater is taking no shortcuts in producing the best rendition possible when it hits center stage May 1. Artistic director Carl Rajotte and costume designer Jessica Moryl have been working on its aesthetic for months, and they recruited top-notch actors from Broadway tours and popular faces from the theater’s recent Godspell, West Side Story and A Christmas Carol. In the lead role is Andrew Foote as Jean Valjean. New to the Palace but not to the show, Foote comes to Manchester fresh from a successful run as the character in a Wisconsin production. He’s been in Les Misérables six times (once during the national Broadway tour), four in which he played this character. “You would think that, doing something over and over again, that the repetition would get tiring, but this [role] doesn’t. It’s like eating a gourmet meal every night,” Foote said between rehearsals last week. “For an actor, you get to do so much and show so many different sides of yourself.” The play, which is set in 19th-century France, follows Jean Valjean, a French peasant, in a sort of quest for redemption after serving 19 years in jail for stealing a See Les Misérables Where: Palace Theatre, 80 Hanover St., Manchester When: Fridays through Sundays, May 1 through May 16 Admission: $15 to $45 Contact: 668-5588, palacetheatre.org

loaf of bread for his sister’s starving child. We see him as a criminal, a wealthy factory owner, a mayor and a father figure, and throughout the musical’s 20-year span, we watch as he and a cast of other characters — police inspector Javert, single mother Fantine and her daughter, Cosette, among others — are swept into a revolutionary period. The musical has had many runs in many countries (in addition to the U.S., London and Paris, it’s been performed in Mexico, Argentina, South Korea, Spain and Puerto Rico), and during its Broadway premiere in 1987, it was nominated for 12 Tony Awards and won eight (including Best Musical and Best Original Score). Today, it’s the fifth longest-running Broadway show in history. The Palace was in full Les Mis swing during these interviews. Its Facebook page was popping with headshots and even bus selfies the actors took during the ride from New York to Manchester. A Les Misérables banner hung across Elm Street, and the cast had been busy with

elaborate costume fittings and blocking sessions. The first day of rehearsal, they ran through the entire show’s music. “It was insane,” said Laurie Gardner, who plays Eponine and who was also Natalie in the Palace’s All Shook Up and Georgie in The Full Monty this year. “We came in, we sat down, and with musical director Garrit [Guadan], we started from the top of the show and sang through the end of the show.” Which is a big deal, she explained, because practically the entire play is sung, with very little dialogue. Gardner also comes in fresh from a Les Mis production (she played Cosette at Arizona Broadway Theatre). She said this version is very physical. It’s not dance-heavy, unlike most of Rajotte’s productions; instead, it’s fight scene-, prop-, set- and costume-heavy. Among the other actors Palace fans will recognize: George Piehl (Scrooge from A Christmas Carol), who plays Thénardier; Jared Troilo (Tony in West Side Story, Jesus in Godspell), who plays Marius; MaryJoanna Grisso (Maria in West

Side Story) as Cosette; and Laura Stracko Franks (who was in Godspell and also the Palace A Christmas Carol tour), who will be Fantine. Though the cast is full of Palace alums, the new actors said they feel welcome and are excited to finally bring this show to the Palace. “Though I haven’t worked here before, I can see from the production photos that the shows are absolutely on the highest level. It’s Broadway on a budget,” said Joe Hager, who plays Javert. Foote agreed. “They expect a lot from us as actors. That’s very common. But the Palace provides everything we need to do our job. When it’s time to work, we work, but in the off hours, they’re really great. Our housing is wonderful. A lot of us aren’t from the area, and so we’re displaced. That’s not easy, and they’re there for us. That doesn’t happen all the time,” Foote said. “In my 20 years of acting, I’ve seen the good and the bad of it. This is one of the good places.”

Birthday bash
McGowan celebrates with show and party By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
When McGowan Fine Art turned 30 in 2010, Sarah Chaffee wasn’t in the mood to celebrate. The gallery was waist-deep in the recession, an issue that not even the gallery director’s splendid party-throwing skills could overcome. But that was five years ago. Things have turned up since then, so for McGowan Fine Art’s 35th birthday, Chaffee and the whole McGowan gang will be celebrating with a month-long exhibition, starting with a reception Friday, May 1. During an interview at the gallery last week, people were coming in and out to drop off work for the show, which will comprise 2D and 3D pieces by about 30 artists McGowan has represented throughout the past 35 years. The door was propped open, wind whipping inside, and Chaffee McGowan Fine Art celebrates 35 years Where: McGowan Fine Art, 10 Hills Ave., Concord Exhibition: On view April 28 through May 29 Reception: Friday, May 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. Contact: mcgowanfineart.com, 225-2515 • THINGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME One-woman cabaret act featuring Nancy Barry, fundraiser for Interlakes Summer Theatre.

had just gotten back from a walk with her dog, Henry. For the show, Chaffee asked her artists to bring in something new and interesting, and in response, some brought in work so new she had to lay it on wax paper. One was a river landscape by Sally Ladd Cole. Another was “Ibis,” an oil painting of a bird flying through clouds by Adelaide Murphy Tyrol. “This one came in this past weekend. It’s actually still wet. You might be able to smell it,” Chaffee said, gesturing to “Ibis.” “She literally just finished it, and I love that. … I get so excited when new work comes in. I really love my job.” The gallery, founded by Mary McGowan in 1980, began as a consulting service. It didn’t have a full-time home until five years later when it moved to 10 Hills Ave. When Mary McGowan stepped down in 2011, Chaffee, a self-described “little girl from Goffstown,” took over and expanded reach by attending national trade shows and partnering with local organizations and businesses like LaBelle Winery, which regularly shows art curated by Chaffee. Today, McGowan Fine Art represents more than 70 artists from around New England. She talked about and showed off a few pieces during the gallery visit, including those by Gary Haven Smith, Bruce McColl,

since 1990 and stopped by mid-interview last week. The piece she’ll show is a big, bright watercolor landscape of a lake. Chaffee said it was Darling who inspired her start in the art world; she required her students to write critiques of one another’s work, something Chaffee discovered she excelled at. “In fact, I think I was probably a more perceptive viewer than I was a creator. And she really encouraged me, and told me I was good at that,” Chaffee said. “I think that requirement — of writing about art — was really a big thing for me. It’s something that, when I moved on to become an art teacher, I required.” Today, Chaffee’s primary focus is adult education. She thinks McGowan holds an important presence in the downtown. “I think a lot of people, even people who don’t come in here, love the thought that a gallery’s making it here. I think it adds a certain cultural flavor to the community you can’t always put your finger on,” Chaffee said. “When people come through the door and they are uncomfortable with an art gallery or art and are not sure what they’re looking at, there are very few questions I’m offended by. And I hear it all. Why is that so expensive? I could do that!’ But that’s part of my job, and I really enjoy that.”

If you’re taking a stroll down Laconia’s WOW Trail on Saturday, May 2, you may run into a parade — a pooch parade, that is. It’s part of the fifth annual BOW WOW Fest, a day for dogs and their owners to walk the WOW trail, participate in contests, chat with vendors and, this year, meet The Hulk, a 173-pound American Pitbull Terrier from northern New Hampshire who recently appeared on Good Morning America. The purpose of the event is twofold: to raise funds for local police department K-9 units and to raise awareness of the relatively new WOW Trail, which opened in 2010. WOW stands for the three lakes the trail is being built to circle: Winnipesaukee, Opechee and Winnisquam. “For a lot of people who walk or run or bike, [the WOW Trail] is a safer route than the sidewalks and city streets,” said Claire HebertDow, the event’s coordinator. The festival will begin at 8:45 a.m. in the Lake Opechee Inn and Spa parking lot with registration, vendors and K-9 guests. Vendors will include various local pet-related businesses, such as the New BOW WOW Fest When: Saturday, May 2, from 8:45 a.m. to noon Where: The parking lot of the Lake Opechee Inn and Spa, 62 Doris Ray Center, Laconia Cost: $10 per dog, $5 for a T-shirt Contact: Claire Hebert-Dow at 524-4535 or chebert@melcherprescott.com Children & Teens Children events • JUMP ON IN Indoor inflatable jumping facility for kids has open jump dates.

Laconia’s My Coffee House coffee shop, which has been at the event every year, will provide coffee for participants and donate half of the proceeds to the K-9 units. At 10:05 a.m., a local priest will deliver a pet blessing for the dogs and their owners. The parade will commence at 10:15, led by two Laconia High School band members with fife and drum.

“I was just beginning to work on this year’s event when I watched Good Morning America in early March and saw The Hulk,” HebertDow said. “I wrote him a letter directly and asked if his calendar was free on May 2 to come help me raise money for our police department dogs, and he said yes.” Photographers will be on site throughout the morning to take pictures of participants with The Hulk. After the parade, dogs will have the chance to compete in a “best costume” and “best talent” contest. A memorable costume from last year, Hebert-Dow said, was a Dachshund dressed as a hotdog. Winners of the contests will be awarded with a toy, bone or treat of some kind, donated by the Laconia
dressed as a fairy, in your party clothes or as yourself. There will be tea & snacks, a storytime, and a fairy art project. For ages 4 to 12 with an adult. Sun., 2 to 4 p.m., April 26 & May 24.

Pet Center. There will also be a few raffles with prizes such as a Visa card, gift baskets and gift cards from local pet businesses. Hebert-Dow said there are well over 50 breeds represented at the event, and last year more than 125 dogs participated. With The Hulk as an attraction this year, she hopes to double that number. “It’s the hometown feeling of helping the local police whose work is usually only profiled when there’s a negative incident,” HebertDow said. “They’re protecting us 24 hours a day, and the canines can be in danger just like their handlers, so I’m excited to bring in money to support them.”

IN/OUT THE GARDENING GUY
First foods of spring Parsnips and other early garden treats By Henry Homeyer
listings@hippopress.com
On April 15 — tax day — I celebrated getting my taxes done by eating my first food of the spring from my vegetable garden. Just a day or two after the snow melted, I dug into the soil with a garden fork and dug parsnips for my first spring taste of goodness. I firmly believe in eating seasonally and locally, though I’m not as rabid in my practices as author Barbara Kingsolver. Kingsolver, one of my favorite writers, spent a full year only eating food she and her family could harvest off their Virginia property, or buy from local farmers. In her book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, she documents the joy and excitement of eating the first fresh fruits and vegetables of spring after a winter of eating root crops and frozen, homegrown veggies. Although I freeze tomatoes and dehydrate apples, as Kingsolver does, I confess to buying fresh fruit all winter; there is no moral turpitude involved in eating a grapefruit in January or oranges in February. In fact, I think it’s healthy and good for maintaining a positive attitude during a winter like the one that just finished (or I hope it has, though one last snow would not surprise me). But back to parsnips. I think of them as a spring tonic, a treat that offers me fresh flavors and vitamins only hours from the garden. Last summer I neglected to plant parsnips in the spring and couldn’t find any seeds for sale in July. So I used old seeds and consequently got a low germination rate. Then I let the weeds get in their patch, and my crop was not spectacular. Oh well, I still rejoice in the few parsnips that I have. If radishes are the proverbial hares of the garden, parsnips are the tortoises. Both are root crops, but radishes can germinate in three days and produce round, red orbs in 28.

on the other hand, are slow in everything they do. Germination can take from 10 to 21 days, or even longer if the soil is cold. I have read that they can take up to two months to germinate if the soil is in the 40s. Sixty-eight degrees is ideal, so I am still a long way from planting. Parsnips take four months to reach full size, though I leave mine in the soil all winter, harvesting them nine months after sowing. When planting parsnips, you may as well plant the entire package of seeds as the seeds lose much of their viability after a year, and three-year-old seeds are virtually useless. The seeds are fairly large, but need to be planted near the surface and barely covered with soil. I use an old kitchen colander to shake soil over seeds, which I plant an inch apart. Later, if I get good germination, I will thin the seedlings so that they are 2 to 4 inches apart. From what I have read, the rows should be 18 to 24

inches apart, though I’ve had good luck filling a wide raised bed with parsnips that are fairly close together all across it. In general, the more space a plant has, the bigger it gets. They will do fine in just part sun. Parsnips are in the carrot family, which means that they are biennials. Biennials produce flowers and seeds in their second year, so I am sure to pick my parsnips early in the spring — given a chance they will bolt, and by that I mean they will send up a flower stalk and then a flower. Once a plant starts to bolt, the flavor and texture of the root changes, and is no longer good to eat. So if you have parsnips in the ground, go dig them up! They keep well in the fridge. Another early vegetable in my garden is a perennial leafy green called sorrel. It is quite bitter and almost lemon flavored. The French love it, serving a sorrel soup as a spring speCall 595-8233. • NUNO FELT A SCARF This introductory course will teach you the history of Nuno Felt with examples available.

These flowers can be used in pins, to decorate a hat or bag, or to make a necklace. Centers of flowers can be beaded for
cialty. Like spinach, it cooks down to almost nothing if you steam it, but it can be used to flavor dishes. A recently found an interesting recipe using sorrel in a book on my shelf called Uncommon Fruits & Vegetables: A Commonsense Guide by Elizabeth Schneider (Harper and Row, 1986). I like it, as it uses both parsnips and sorrel, as well as potatoes — and I still have a few left from last summer. Just peel and chop a pound of potatoes (old, starchy ones, it says) and 3/4 pound of parsnips; boil them until soft. Meanwhile, cut up 6 ounces of sorrel and sauté in 2 ounces of butter until soft and mushy. Mash the root crops when cooked, add the sorrel and some heavy cream. My sorrel is up, but not ready to harvest, though it should be in a couple of weeks. Sorrel seeds are available, but I haven’t had great luck getting them to germinate. Many garden centers are now selling small pots of sorrel in their herb department, and three plants will make a nice patch. Just plant them in full sun or part shade in a place where the soil is rich and lightly moist most of the time. Chives and garlic chives are onion-family perennial greens that are up and ready to put in salads or baked potatoes. They are absolutely easy to grow, just buy a pot of them and as the clump gets bigger you can divide it and have more. Garlic chives are less well known than chives, and have a stronger flavor. Their leaves are a bit bigger than chives, and they have nice flowers in summer. Spring and summer are on their way. I’m just glad to have a few things from the garden I can eat now. Rhubarb and asparagus are on their way soon, too.

IN/OUT CAR TALK
Welding requires a number of precautions Dear Car Talk: I have an older pickup with an all-metal cab frame. There are numerous holes drilled in the dash and frame from old CB By Ray Magliozzi and gun rack mounts. I was told that the best way to fill these is using a MIG welder. What precautions need to be taken to protect the vehicle’s electrical system when I weld the cab frame? Thanks. — Ray I’m less worried about your electrical system than I am about your retinas, Ray. MIG welding is dangerously bright, and without proper eye protection, you could blind yourself. After that, fixing the holes in the dashboard would drop down on your priority list because (A) you’d no longer be able to see them, so they wouldn’t bother you as much, and (B) you would have great difficulty securing a driver’s license. But a MIG welder is what you want for Folk dance classes • SCOTTISH COUNTRY DANCING All skill levels welcome; no experience or partner necessary. Soft-soled shoes preferred.

this job. “MIG” stands for “metal inert gas.” It uses a thin wire and bathes it in an inert gas to push all of the oxygen out of the way. That keeps the surrounding metal from oxidizing, and allows you to seamlessly and smoothly weld metal together. Which electronic components you need to protect depends on how old your truck is. If it’s old enough to have a metal dashboard — from the 1950s or ‘60s — then there aren’t really any electrons to protect. In fact, I’m pretty sure in that case your truck would have predated the discovery of the electron itself. Then all you have to worry about is the heat you generate. So you’ll want to get under the dashboard and move away any wires that are in the vicinity of the weld. You also might take a picture of the wiring under there so that when you do melt the wires, you’ll have an easier time rewiring everything. I also would use some sort of insulating material — like a piece of sheet metal — between the welding site and anything you might set fire to. Another good precaution is to do a little bit of welding, then take a look under the dashboard and make sure nothing’s glowing.

To be on the safe side, I would have a fire extinguisher nearby. And I’d wear a good pair of sneakers in case you need to run for your life. If your truck is newer than that — say, 1980s vintage — then you will have some electronic equipment. In that case, you’ll need to unplug and/or remove anything with a printed circuit board before you send all that electricity through the vehicle. All of that stuff is plug-and-play, so you should be able to just disconnect it and then reconnect it when you’re done. That stuff would include the electronic ignition components, the computer, if you have one, the radio, and maybe even the instrument cluster if it’s got a circuit board. But other than that, get the right eye protection, and try not to set your car, your house or your hair on fire, and you should be fine, Ray. Best of luck.

and down about 4 inches. Also, when I turn the wipers off, they are supposed to sink under the edge of the hood, but the wipers stop in whatever position they are in. I was wondering if the wiper motor has gone bad or if it could be a solenoid or other electrical component that has gone bad. Please help diagnose my wipers. — Brad What’s the matter, Brad? Getting hard to squint through that 4-inch opening at the bottom of the windshield while driving in pouring rain? You need a wiper motor, buddy. All of the circuitry that controls the travel of the wiper arms, including when they “park” down in the windshield cowl, is packed inside that motor housing. Replace the motor, and your wipers should once again smear the entire windshield at high speed, just like they used to. You can buy a new one for less than $100. Or you probably can find one in a junkyard for $20. Just be careful that the junk man doesn’t try to capture this car while you’re out back shopping. Visit Cartalk.com.

Get your taco fix and then some during the fifth annual Hippo de Mayo Taco Challenge, when more than 40 eateries in downtown Manchester will get creative and serve specially made tacos for $2. Inspired by a love of tacos, Hippo publisher Jody Reese said Hippo de Mayo was created as a way to encourage people to come downtown and support local businesses. Tacos seemed like a good choice because of their versatility. “One of the reasons we chose a taco is because every culture has a variation on the taco,” Reese said. “We really hoped that people would get very creative.” In years past, duck breast tacos, shrimp tacos, barbecued Korean tacos, macaroni and cheese tacos and meatball tacos have lured people to downtown Manchester. With the influx of extra patrons standing in line for $2 tacos, the time and effort required by the participating eateries is tremendous. Last year, it was all hands on deck for staff at Dos Amigos Burritos, which made 1,000 tacos in two hours, store manager Kina Gilson said. Being well versed in making tacos, Dos Amigos is mixing things up this year and making a taco that’s not available on the regular menu. Kitchen manager Brad Gage said they’ll be serving a short rib taco (the meat is slow braised for eight hours) with colorful slaw and queso fresco on a white tortilla. For places like Suddenly Susan’s Gourmet Deli that don’t regularly serve tacos, the taco tour gives them an opportunity to get creative while showcasing their menu. Manager and head sandwich maker April Robbins said they’ll serve the Amoskeag taco, based on one of their signature sandwiches. “We served it last year and people really enjoyed it,” Robbins said in a phone interview. “It’s just a spinoff of our most popular sandwich, The Amoskeag.” Normally served on rye bread, the Amoskeag taco is made of all white meat chicken salad with dried cranberries, sliced green apples and leafy green lettuce on a soft taco shell. “It seems like a nice change from the other tacos,” she said. “No one else is serving a

chicken salad taco.” Café la Reine owner Alex Puglisi said they’ll turn a menu-favorite sandwich into a taco as well — the Freddie Mercury taco, with buffalo chicken with ranch, lettuce and tomato. “[It’s] pretty simple but a favorite,” Puglisi said in a phone interview. She said the idea for Café la Reine is to go with a non-traditional taco that brings a fun twist to one of their sandwiches. Being such a unique event, Hippo de Mayo draws taco connoisseurs from other cities in New Hampshire as well as Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine. “We’ve noticed people travel,” Reese said. “Especially people who are really into that kind of street food and into the taco ethos.” Reese said that trying to eat all 40-plus tacos is “absolutely impossible,” just due to time spent waiting in lines — let alone being able to stomach that many tacos. He estimates that the average person will eat three to six tacos, depending on the strategy they take for navigating the area. If you’re looking to get the most tacos, he suggested starting in the Millyard and near the ballpark; that area typically doesn’t have too much of a line. “I would work the edges if you want to get the maximum number of tacos,” he said. The southern end of Elm Street is another good place, as people tend not to congregate there.
Hippo de Mayo Taco Challenge When: Thursday, May 7, from 4 to 9 p.m. Where: Participating restaurants in Manchester’s downtown and millyard Cost: $2 per taco Visit: hippodemayo.com
If your goal for the evening is instead to get a certain type of taco, choose a few places to wait in line. Download the Hippo Scout app so you can check out what’s being served, how long lines are and when certain locations run out. “You gotta really ask yourself the question of if you’re going to go for quantity or kinds of tacos that you like,” Reese said. Voting for people’s choice will be the same at last year: head to hippodemayo. com (accessible on most smartphones) and select your favorite from a drop-down menu. The judges’ choice winner (chosen by a panel of Hippo staff foodies) will be awarded $1,000 for their charity of choice. “Our feeling was that this was really a way to kind of give back to the downtown community, and the event has now taken on a life of its own,” Reese said. “ I think it’s much larger than we ever expected it to be.” Last year’s taco tour drew about 15,000 tacos enthusiasts, and Reese estimates the number this year could reach 20,000. “It’s a phenomenal amount of work and commitment [for restaurants],” Reese said. “I think … they do it because it brings [people] downtown, it helps make downtown a fun place, a place to live and play, and I think that the restaurants are kind of in that same mode.”

Sage-Matsis, marketing director for the Courville Communities, said an event like this is a great way to engage the community and show what senior living centers are like. “I think one of the things we try to drive home is with senior living, [it’s] one of those taboo subjects, but one of the first questions we get when people are touring [is], ‘How’s the food?’” Sage-Matsis said. “This helps to spotlight it.”

Get up close to the action and watch local chefs compete in the third annual Fire and Fusion executive chef competition on Wednesday, May 6. The competition, to benefit the Nashua Senior Activity Center, features eight executive chefs from senior living centers showcasing their skills while also highlighting the cuisine served in their facilities. The evening begins in the sampling room, where guests try appetizers provided by the competing chefs and vote for their favorite. After enjoying the finger foods and a glass of wine, it’s on to the main event. The chefs are given 30 minutes to create an entree based on a list of available ingredients they received prior to the competition — plus four secret ingredients revealed just before they start cooking. According to Wendy Sage-Matsis, event chair, anything from star fruit to coffee grounds could be unveiled and must be included in the dish. “[They] have to be used in the meal, not just as a garnish,” she said in a phone interview. In the intense atmosphere, Sage-Matsis said, the chefs run back and forth from their cooking stations to the community pantry, stocked with main food ingredients and items to share like a food processor or blender. Once the half hour is up, the chefs must drop everything and present their dishes to the judges. “One of the things we do is we allow the guests to get right up close,” Sage-Matsis said. “Part of what we say to the chefs is, get ready for questions while you’re cooking.” Radio personality Mike Morin will be the event host and will go from station to station talking to the chefs about the meal in progress. Competing in this year’s competition are Eric McAndrews of Aynsley Place,

The photos of this dish do not do it justice. My sad attempt at layering this lasagna was unsuccessful, as I rushed through the process and did just one layer, cutting the recipe in half since only my husband and I were eating. But the flavors were beyond compare. One night last week I was tight on time and out of ideas for dinner. A quick scan of my pantry resulted in lasagna noodles and canned Alfredo sauce. I cut up the lasagna once it was cooked and tossed it in the sauce for a last-minute dinner but was left craving a rich, creamy dish. Later, I went searching through cookbooks and online for a homemade Alfredo sauce and stumbled upon this recipe from All Recipes. It was simple and relatively pantry/refrigerator-friendly. The only thing I needed to get was the roasted chicken, so instead I opted to use one pound of chicken cutlets I had in my fridge and cooked and shredded the chicken with the garlic, oil and onions the recipe calls for. I worried this sauce was too simple to be good, but the addition of the mushrooms to

the condensed soup was delicious and added freshness to what can sometimes be a very dense and processed flavor. Similarly, spinach pushed this recipe over the edge, and I’ve since been throwing the leafy green into just about every meal I make. Typically, I avoid adding ricotta to recipes other than traditional lasagna, but I made the exception, and the combination of the ricotta, Parmesan and mozzarella was superb. The mixture of the cheeses and the cream sauce was similar in texture and concept to a traditional Alfredo but offered more levels of flavor. Since I only did one layer of lasagna, the finished product looked a little limp. I decided to top each serving with some remaining shredded chicken, spinach and a sprinkle of bread crumbs to amp it up. I went a little light on the sauce, but what I did use packed enough flavor to keep the dish from being bland or dry, and my husband and I left the kitchen with full stomachs, knowing I’ll be making this again. — Lauren Mifsud Drain and rinse with cold water. In a saucepan over low heat, mix together heavy cream, cream of mushroom soup, Parmesan cheese and butter. Simmer, stirring frequently until well blended. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, cook and stir the onion until tender, before adding the mushrooms and garlic. Mix in the chicken and cook until heated through, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Lightly coat the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with the cream sauce. Layer the lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, spinach, chicken mixture and mozzarella. Top with half of the cream sauce mixture before repeating the layers. Finish with a final layer of noodles and spread with the remaining sauce. Bake for one hour in the preheated oven. Top with the remaining mozzarella and continue baking until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.

“Skinny” Margarita
For a “skinny” version of this drink, use silver tequila, agave nectar or Splenda and fresh squeezed lime juice. The margarita may taste stronger than the other recipe, but you an add a little water to dilute it. I have also made a frozen low-calorie version by combining tequila, fresh squeezed lime, Crystal Light raspberry lemonade, soda water and some ice in a blender. Use the wedge of grapefruit to rub the rims of six margarita glasses with grapefruit juice. Dip the rims in the kosher salt to coat. Set aside as you prepare the margaritas. Place the tequila, vodka, simple syrup, grapefruit juice, lime juice and ice in a bar blender and puree until smooth. Divide the margarita between six glasses and garnish with the grapefruit quarters. Place two teaspoons sugar in a saucer. Rub the rims of six glasses with one lime wedge; spin rim of each glass in sugar to coat. Set prepared glasses aside. Combine watermelon and next four ingredients (through triple sec) in a blender; process until smooth. Fill each prepared glass with 1/2 cup crushed ice. Add 1/2 cup margarita to each glass. Garnish with lime wedges or melon balls, if desired. Makes six servings. Combine 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar and kosher salt in a dish. Cut lime into nine wedges; rub rims of eight glasses with one lime wedge. Dip rims of glasses in salt mixture. Combine water and 1/2 cup sugar in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Microwave at high for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar; cool. Combine syrup, tequila, Grand Marnier, fresh lime juice, and blackberries in a blender; process until smooth. Strain mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve over a pitcher; discard solids. Serve over ice. Garnish with remaining lime wedges.

Shops across New Hampshire celebrate Free Comic Book Day By Angie Sykeny
asykeny@hippopress.com
If you’re strolling around on Saturday, May 2, you might bump into Spider-Man. Or Batman. Or a bunch of other superheroes. No, you didn’t stumble upon a Marvel movie set. It’s all in the spirit of Free Comic Book Day, an annual, worldwide event held on the first Saturday in May when comic book enthusiasts (and the comic book-curious) flock to participating shops for free comics and all kinds of comic-related fun. “If you’ve ever been interested in finding out more about comics, this is a day for you to walk in, get Costume group photo at last year’s Double Midnight Comics’ Free Comic Book Day.

Double Midnight’s claim to fame is its FCBD costume contest, which is the largest in the U.S. Guest cosplayers will judge the contest and name the Best Costume, Top 3 Male and Top 3 Female costumes. Winners will receive passes to some of New England’s biggest comic-con events, and the Best Costume winner will also receive a $200 store gift certificate, a trophy and a plaque to be hung up at the store. Last year’s winner was Mr. Freeze from Batman. “[The costumes] are a fun way to keep everyone entertained while they’re waiting in line,” Proulx said, “and the kids always get a kick out of seeing Spider-Man or Mr. T or the Transformers.” For the city of Rochester, it’s not just Free Comic Book Day. It’s the Rochester Free Comic Book Day Festival. Each year, the city partners with Rochester comic book store Jetpack Comics to create New England’s largest FCBD event. “We do [FCBD] a little differently,” Ralph DiBernardo, owner of Jetpack Comics, said. “We incorporate all of downtown into it.

streets and vendors. It is truly a festival.” This year, the fest will have 21 participating businesses, 50,000 free comics to distribute, and an expected 8,000 attendees. Jetpack will have all 50 FCBD titles at the store, but with the huge number of people at the fest, they are limiting the comics to three per person, unless you arrive in costume, in which case you can get six. If you want more, you’ll have to visit the participating local businesses. You can also pick up a scavenger hunt card at Jetpack and get it stamped at each business to be entered into a prize drawing. Among this year’s special guests are David Petersen, creator of Mouse Guard, and Jeff Kline, a writer and showrunner for more than 40 animated and live-action series including the animated Transformers TV series. For store owners, FCBD is a way to expand their customer base by introducing new people to the world of comics. “People are hesitant to pick up a new comic and drop money on it, not knowing what it is about,” Proulx said. “On [FCBD] they can get a sampling, see the artwork, see the story and say, ‘I like this one, I’m going to start reading it.’”
Page from the 10 Year Celebration comic book sampler on freecomicbookday.com.
But FCBD doesn’t come without a price for the publishers and comic book shops. For DiBernardo, it’s a designated part of Jetpack’s advertising budget each year. “It’s free to the people, but everybody
else involved is investing serious money to make the event happen,” he said. “We don’t do it expecting results that day, but we hope that it will put new eyes on our store and people will become repeat cus-
tomers down the road.” While at one time comic books were a niche market with a limited audience, that is no longer the case. Proulx said he has noticed a wider diversity in comic book readership, particularly with female readers. “Fifteen or 20 years ago it was primarily male-dominated, but now we’re seeing more females, and the publishers are responding to that,” he said. “A few months ago Marvel introduced a female Thor and that has been selling like crazy.” And with comic-based movies and television shows gaining huge popularity, so are the comics that spawned them. DiBernardo said the comic book industry is at one of the highest points it’s been in a long time. “There’s an acceptance in the mainstream media now,” he said. “Since Disney bought Marvel Comics, then you add in shows like The Walking Dead that were comic-based in origin, there’s been a constant upswing in the industry. We’re in a good spot now.” To see the full list of 2015 FCBD comics or find participating stores close to you, visit freecomicbookday.com.

POP CULTURE CD REVIEWS
PLAYLIST
Alabama Shakes, Sound & Color (ATO Records) At first blush, the second full-length from this retro-organic 1960s-soundalike is a little less surfy than their debut, which took the charts by storm with its antiquated analog rawness. Fronted by astonishing singer-guitarist Brittany Howard (who some think deserves a better band than the MGMT-wannabe crew behind her), the Shakes made me think of dusty old Blue Cheer albums and Janis Joplin in the same synapse, like demo tapes from a long-forgotten female-fronted Steppenwolf. They’re still totally retro, but this LP is more like first-album Led Zeppelin (“Dunes”) (they used to do Zep cover tunes, by the way, which is how they formed), or, more closely, Otis Redding on James Brown juice when they’re in all-out radio-blues mode (“Don’t Wanna Fight”). Vinyl nerds won’t want this LP in any other format, and I wouldn’t blame them — even delivered digitally, you can practically hear the tubes jingling in the amps. After Gnarls, Amy, Diana Krall and now this, any doubt that Americans will always love the 1960s sound has to be put to final rest. A+ — Eric W. Saeger Midnight Ghost Train, Cold Was the Ground (Napalm Records) Don’t be silly, of course I’m going to investigate anything called “Midnight Ghost Train,” and besides, it’s been what, a whole couple of weeks since I last bopped over to see what was new from Napalm Records, who usually release very little that doesn’t fall into their two core niches, opera-metal goth chicks and beer-crazed folk-metal orcs. These guys fall into the latter category, this after having released a DIY debut LP that included an a cappella version of Lead Belly’s “Cotton Fields” — obviously these beefy Kansans had a more profound concept in mind for the future than what this album exudes, but hey, it’s OK, things could always be worse. Note that this stuff is, in general, faster than the tuneage on their debut, not that that necessarily spells speed-metal; mainly it’s a Blue-Cheer-meets-TheSword thing, with raw, unprofessionally recorded Marshall amps carrying the brunt of the weight to support Steve Moss’s brawl-hall bellowing. It’s cool in its way, but I can’t help but be curious to know what would have happened if the whole mud-roots thing had taken off for them instead of their breaking semi-big in Europe. B — Eric W. Saeger
Spring is FINALLY Happening!
A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases
• THE MORE YOU KNOW DEPT.: Sometimes news does take a while to get to me. It wasn’t until last week that I happened upon a 2014 article on Noisey titled “Drowning, Not Waving: The Slow and Bitter End of Lady Gaga,” one of the most hateful, catty and awesome rants I’ve read this year. Among other things (Gaga’s anti-bullying Little Monsters Foundation was a complete waste of money; her last few albums have been panned 10 times worse than I’d have done; her sensationalism has become banal; etc.), the piece has a companion article that eventually leads you to the Internet home of “Angela Cheng,” the pseudonym of a troll claiming to be an “industry insider.” Whether or not “Cheng” is really in the business, she presented compelling evidence (which won support from a ton of blogs, many of them quite reputable) that the Billboard “Hot 100” chart is broken. I won’t go into specifics, but one interesting fact you should know is that if you visit YouTube to, say, watch an old TLC video, and you find yourself looking at an advertising video for, say, a Lady Gaga song, Billboard is actually counting that toward Gaga’s charting unless you click “Skip,” the same way they would if an insufferable 13-year-old played it on Spotify. Think about that a second while I eat this handful of dry-roasted peanuts. In other words, there’s a new form of payola in the digital age, and it’s rampant. I found this purely by accident — I’ve never lost sleep wondering why people like Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus had huge Matrix-sized Billboard numbers in an era when nobody buys albums, never mind the fact that I didn’t know anyone personally who downloaded anything made by these people, but it explained a lot. I’d never investigated this phenomenon at all; usually I only read political stuff — for me, it was like being a regularjoe Bigfoot conspiracy guy who accidentally finds NSA footage of aliens hanging around at Stonehenge. Anyhow, the moral of the story is this: you are not crazy. You were right, no one does buy these albums. So take heart. Click the Skip button and everything will be fine. The More You Know! • Narf, look Brain, it’s a new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club album, called Live In Paris! Here’s your chance to listen to live versions of all those, you know, boring shoegaze-metal songs that you didn’t listen to as non-live versions! • English (strike one) indie (strike two) rockers (strike three) Palma Violets release a new album, Danger In The Club. The title song is nice and sloppy, a completely scuzzy Clash imitation, the drummer messes up and the singer sounds a bit like Elvis Costello. It’s like early Horrors but on anti-psychotic medication. Me likey. — Eric W. Saeger

HIPPO | APRIL 30 - MAY 6, 2015 | PAGE 60
Birth of a Theorem, by Cédric Villani (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 250 pages) Ever wonder what professional mathematicians do all day? Me neither. Still, the tantalizingly titled Birth of a Theorem seduced me, as did its premise: Brilliant Frenchman, winner of the most coveted prize in mathematics, the Fields Medal, takes readers through an intimate tour of his brain in the years leading up to the breakthrough that won him the prize. It looks good. It’s aesthetically pleasing, with loads of exquisite black-and-white sketches of famous physicists and mathematicians you’ve never heard of, pages of complex equations, and email exchanges between some of the greatest minds alive today. Unfortunately, at some point, you have to start reading the book that British author Alexander Masters has called “impenetrable from page four.” Page “four” is actually page “two” if you count the preface and title page. Here is the sparkling exchange where Villani loses Masters, and everyone else without a Ph.D. in math: “So what’s up? Your message was pretty vague.” “My old demon’s back again — regularity for the inhomogeneous Boltzmann.” “Conditional regularity? You mean, modulo minimal regularity bounds?” “No, unconditional.” “Completely? Not even in a perturbative framework?” It goes on, but you don’t have the time or will. And don’t make the deadly inference that you will understand all this when Villani concludes his incomprehensible jour-
nal 244 pages later. If you can’t explain the Boltzmann equation, the Lipschitz regularity and Landau damping before you begin, you won’t be able to in the end. Worse, you will develop math rage, the sneaking suspicion that high-level mathematics, far from the key to everything, is just an elaborate ruse superior minds use to get out of real work. Evidence of this is contained in Villani’s description of of Oberwolfach, “the legendary institute for mathematical research deep in the heart of the Black Forest, a retreat where mathematicians come and go in an unending ballet of the mind, giving talks on every subject imaginable. No locks on the doors, an open bar, cakes and pastries galore.” Villani is a man in love — with the Boltzmann equation (“the most beautiful equation in the world,” he sighs) and, alas, with exclamation marks. Ludwig Boltzmann was a 17th-century Austrian physicist whose equations proved how entropy increases in gases, and the accumulating disorder is irreversible. “In doing so, he demonstrated that the most disordered state is the most natural state of all,” Villani writes, before noting, with no apparent sense of irony, that “The triumphant young Boltzmann turned into a tormented old man who took his own life.” Well, there’s a guy to emulate, eh? Then there are the exclamation marks, mercifully absent in serious discussion, but abundant whenever Villani attempts, like Hillary Clinton, to connect with us common folk. When he is not writing and conversing at many pay grades above the average state college graduate, he (or his translator) writes prose so limp that it requires a propeller of
excessive punctuation. To wit: But first things first: we had to locate our apartment, our home for the next six months, and then get some sleep! Some people might wonder what there is to do for six months in this very small town. Not me – I’ve got plenty to do! Above all I need to concentrate. Especially now that I can give my undivided attention to my many mathematical mistresses! In the meantime, a lot has happened on the Landau damping front! Fairness demands acknowledgement of at least the project’s potential. Villani could have been a Hubbell-like lens on a far-away world — the rarefied space where polymaths dwell — and occasionally he lurches in there, as when he writes of locking himself in his children’s room so he can think in darkness, shutters closed. (Even polymaths, it seems, have trouble concentrating.) And it is amusing to learn how geniuses suffer while studying in the backwater that is Princeton, New Jersey: “The crispy French-style baguette is hard to find in Princeton. An even more serious deficiency, as far as products of the highest necessity are concerned, is how scandalously poor the cheese is,” he complains. In the original Rocky, Rocky tells Adrian that he boxes because he can’t sing or dance. The corollary for mathematicians: They do equations because they can’t write. It’s a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, because there is a fascinating story buried in Vallani’s life; it’s just that he wasn’t the one to tell it. His own mathematical hero was John Nash, the tormented mathematician whose descent into paranoia was portrayed by Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind. The film was based on a biography by Sylvia Nasar. If only Villani had hired her to write this story. D — Jennifer Graham

Inaugural Derry Author Fest features Emmy Laybourne By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
Emmy Laybourne grew up in a house full of storytellers. Her dad was a TV producer, her mom an executive at Nickelodeon. (Actually, she “sort of Emmy Laybourne, featured invented Nickspeaker at the inaugural Derry Author Fest. Courtesy photo. elodeon,” Laybourne wrote on her website; she even has an indepth Wikipedia page.) “We were always talking about stories in my house — about what worked and what didn’t,” Laybourne said via phone. “Her mission, when she grew Nickelodeon to be what it was in the ‘80s and ‘90s, was for it to be a place where kids were empowered. … Where kids could watch the kinds of shows they wanted to watch without being
talked down to.” So it shouldn’t be surprising that Laybourne went on to become a master storyteller. She shaped her skills by studying English at Vassar College, performing improv, writing for Comedy Central and acting in Hollywood films like Superstar alongside Molly Shannon and Will Ferrell. (She was Mary Katherine Gallagher’s BFF Helen.) But when she was invited to be part of the Derry Public Library’s inaugural Author Fest this Saturday, May 2, it was because of her credentials as a young adult author, particularly her very successful Monument 14 series, which chronicles a group of kids who lock themselves in a chain superstore for protection against an apocalyptic disaster. She’s one of 13 authors and storytellers giving presentations or hosting workshops that day. Teen librarian Erin Robinson (also an author who goes by Erin Moulton) said David Hyde Costello and his puppet giraffe. Courtesy photo. they asked Laybourne because of her varied experience and appeal to both kids and a free and abbreviated Writers’ Day. adults. (Robinson also got many Laybourne “There are some great literary festivals in requests when she asked patrons for ideas.) New Hampshire and Mass., but we wanted The event, Robinson said, is kind of like something just for [southern New Hamp-
shire],” Robinson said via phone. “And we wanted something that would be free for the public — because, you know, that’s the whole point of the library. … People are pretty excited. I know some people who’ve taken off work May 2 to attend.” Laybourne said she’s happy to visit Derry because she’s never been to this part of the country before. She also loves “being part of the beginnings of things” and talking about story structure. One of her workshops is called “The Shape of Story,” which is handy for anyone — writers, entrepreneurs, business folk — and is told with the help of a few YouTube clips that have extraordinary story structures, some of which involve babies, birds and video game-playing frogs. She draws from her writing and acting experience, which taught her to create characters and write without hesitation. “My experience as an actor helped me in how I create characters. I can really get inside a character, and also outside a character. I can really think about how they look, think and talk,” Laybourne said. It also taught her to ignore her inner critic — at least during the first draft.

“When you’re doing comedy improv, which is something I did a lot of, you can’t be in your head. You can’t be criticizing yourself. I think a lot of writers have trouble with that, with writers’ block. … I think that has to do with the inner critic acting up. In improv, you learn to ignore the inner critic. … When I sit down, I don’t have that voice saying, ‘Oh God, who do you think you are? This will never be as good as Monument 14!’” Whenever Laybourne isn’t writing YA or talking about it, she’s reading it; she grew up hearing from her mother how important it was that kids got high-quality programming (in fact, her parents are still her beta readers), and she feels the genre does things traditional, adult literary books cannot. “I love kids, I love teenagers, and I love YA. I want to write what I love to read,” Laybourne said. “I think YA novels in general have more classically structured plots than adult literary novels. … Adult novels … contain meandering thoughts and beautiful characters full of acute observations about life. … But I like a good story welltold! I’m not into rambling narratives. I do like acute observations, but I like them set against a kick-[butt] story.” During the event, attendees may hear about Laybourne’s latest YA novel, Sweet, about a bunch of B-list celebrities who take a diet drug while riding a luxury cruise, which combines two things she finds very funny: weight loss and celebrities. She dedicated the book to her dad, who helped her research by going on a real cruise with her. “He’s the first person I go to with any ideas I have,” she said. “He loves story structure. It’s such a weird thing to pass on to a child.” continued from 61 begins around 8 p.m. Milly’s Tavern, 500 Commercial St., Manchester. $3 cover charge.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
The Age of Adaline (PG-13)
A young widow stops aging in the late 1930s, at the age of 29, even as her daughter and the world around her change, in The Age of Adaline, a pretty-looking but relatively dull movie about long-lasting youth.
Born in the 1900s and married in the 1920s, Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively) is widowed after less than 10 years of marriage and left with young daughter named Flemming. About five years later, she’s in a car accident where, as the narration tells us, the combination of the unusually cold weather (for Sonoma, California) that sends a submerged Adaline into a hypothermia-induced clinical death and a lightning strike a few moments later that starts her heart again also has the effect of stopping her cells’ ability to age. As her daughter ages through her teenage years and beyond, Adaline continues to look the same — a stasis striking enough that even telling people she’s discovered a French face cream no longer explains why, even in the ‘50s, she still looks as she did 20 years earlier. After FBI agents attempt to bring her in for questioning and to run some tests, Adaline decides that her predicament is no longer something she can allow a wider public to know about. Thus she leaves behind anybody who might know her as Adaline and changes her identity. She does so every 10 years or so, changing her hair, her name and her residence. She falls in love from time to time but she never tells anybody her predicament, even walking away from one boyfriend she sees waiting for her on a park bench with an engagement ring box in his hands. This continues into the 21st century, by which time her only true close companions are her daughter (Ellen Burstyn), now
REVIEWLETS
The Age of Adaline
old enough to be considering a retirement home, and a dog who is a distant ancestor of a dog she had years ago. And, on New Year’s Eve, we learn she occasionally hangs out with a woman who is a piano player but who is blind — and therefore doesn’t realize that when she jokes that the two are sitting at the cougars table, the comment doesn’t make sense to the young man who has walked over to ask Adaline to dance. As she’s leaving the party, Adaline — currently calling herself Jenny — meets Ellis (Michiel Huisman). He tries to get a phone number from her but she brushes him off. Later, though, he shows up at the library where she works and eventually gets her to agree to a date. Their relationship quickly deepens, so much so that Adaline, who is poised to move and change her identity yet again, seems to start to have serious second thoughts about her love ‘em-and-leave ‘em life plan. Trailers strongly hint at one of the plot points of modern-day Adaline’s life so I don’t feel too bad talking about it here: When she meets Ellis’s father, she’s
shocked to find that he’s a man named William (Harrison Ford), the very guy with the wedding ring she left sitting on a park bench decades earlier. She tells him the Adaline he remembers was her mother, but considering she appears to have stayed more or less in the northern California area all this time, is it really that surprising she meets someone she once knew? That is one of many questions I had about Adaline — a character similar to the one played by Ioan Guffudd on Forever, a fun, lightweight procedural on ABC. (One of the other questions: when you’re 29, how long does it take you to realize you’re not aging? The effects of aging — is that a wrinkle? where did all of these white hairs come from? — are such a surprise that it would seem to take a good long while before you noticed something not happening. The narration makes some mention of this in passing but I found the question kind of fascinating.) Whereas the TV show has dug into some of the problems with being immortal that Guffudd’s Henry has faced over the centuries he’s been alive, The Age
of Adaline barely gives any time to the actual mechanics of living for decades without aging — one of the few scenes that does so has “Jenny” adding the name of her next identity to her bank account and remembering how, decades earlier, she sat in the very same room and decided to buy shares in a new company called Xerox. The movie is very interested in showing the pretty Adaline falling in love with the equally pretty Ellis. And Lively and Huisman are indeed very pretty. But together they are also pretty boring. Lively’s Adaline is lovely to look at but with her stilted “old timey” speaking style and generally flat screen presence, I never found myself terribly invested in her or her new romance. Without a central character or couple to really care about, I found myself thinking about the problems and advantages of eternal 29-ness. But since the movie is not interested enough to ponder these questions, all I was really left to do was look at Adaline’s pretty vintage wardrobe. Huh, the fitted lady suit really does come back on a pretty regular basis and wow, the right kind of evening-wear really can be timeless — these were probably not the thoughts the movie wanted me to have while watching lovers grow ever closer, but that was about as deep as this movie went. C+ Rated PG-13 for a suggestive comment. Directed by Lee Toland Krieger with a screenplay by J. Mills Goodloe & Salvador Paskowitz, The Age of Adaline is an hour and 50 minutes long and distributed by Lionsgate.

sign of independent thought. What he does believe is Ava’s assertions that Nathan isn’t to be trusted. The more Caleb talks to Ava, the less he trusts Nathan. Also, the more Caleb talks to Ava, the more he finds himself forgetting that she is one of Nathan’s high-end tech creations and starts to fall for her. This raises an interesting point for Caleb — why, he asks, did Nathan make her female, give her any gender at all and give her any sense of sexual desire? Does an AI need gender and desire to succeed as a truly independent Tammy successful being? This is one of the facets of artificial intelligence that the movie turns over and examines before putting down without coming to any conclusion. Not that there needs to be a conclusion — I can live with a story that simply raises questions. (Though I would have liked some answer — even a dumb answer — to the question of why build Ava at all. Is she meant to be a robot butler —the iPerson? Is she compatible with the Apple Watch?) Perhaps it’s the slow-as-molasses way that Ex Machina has its characters argue these issues with no resolution that makes the movie feel like it’s running at half-speed and being drained of life. The movie’s final 10 minutes or so feel suddenly alive and full of narrative opportunity — but it occurred to me afterward that it was only against the sluggishness of the preceding 90 minutes or so that the movie’s ending felt lively. Ultimately, Ex Machina is an OK movie that presents itself a bit like it’s a great movie. The performances from Gleeson and Isaac are solid, the ideas are intriguing but somewhere in the final bringing together of elements spark and energy are lost. BRated R for graphic nudity, language, sexual references and some violence. Written and directed by Alex Garland, Ex Machina is an hour and 48 minutes long and is distributed by A24.

ny lottery — first prize is a week-long stay in the remote Alaskan estate of the company’s owner Nathan (Oscar Isaac). The estate is so remote that when Caleb arrives, by helicopter, he isn’t even dropped off within sight of the building. He’s told to follow the river and when he arrives at the “house” what he finds are what appear to be a series of square, almost shipping container-like (but wooden) buildings, one of which has a scanner and a robotic female voice that beckons him over. The computer makes a key card for him and then opens the door, leaving Caleb to find his way through a minimalist, ultra-modern house (built to showcase nature — a large rock serves as one of the walls of one of the living rooms) to find Nathan. Nathan is your typical tech bajillionare, as least as they’re portrayed in most movies and TV shows. His home awesomely outfitted to be both simple-looking and the highest of tech, he dresses a bit like a patient at a naturalistic medical spa, he has a beard the likes of which is generally associated with your Brooklyn organic soap maker or your 1800s gold prospector and he appears to live completely alone except for a non-English-speaking Japanese cook/maid/perhaps, er, companion (Sonoya Mizuno). In short, he comes off as a complete loon. After showing Caleb to a bunker-like guest bedroom and making him sign an elaborate non-disclosure agreement, Nathan explains why Caleb is really here. His job is to spend the week administering a Turing Test (the test to discover how human-like the robot really is) to Nathan’s artificial intelligence creation. Caleb is psyched. When he meets Ava (Alicia Vikander), as the AI is called, he’s even more excited and intrigued. She appears to have natural facial expressions and a natural conversational style. As he meets with her day after day, she even appears to have feelings — she seems to flirt with Caleb, seems to fear Nathan. But Caleb is never quite clear on whether this is all just a part of her programming or a

By Michael Witthaus mwitthaus@hippopress.com • Phone home: Brag to friends before or after seeing comic Kevin Hart perform. Not only are video and photography prohibited at his upcoming area show, but also the possession of any type of electronic device — camera, cell phone or tablet. Anyone witnessed calling, texting or posting to social media will be ejected without a refund. See Kevin Hart on Thursday, April 30, at 7 p.m. at Verizon Wireless Arena, 555 Elm St., Manchester. Tickets range from $45 to $130 at ticketmaster.com. • Light up: Enjoy roots rock and blues from Northern Light, local favorites featuring a former congressman and four friends who love nothing more than playing music together. It’s the band’s first show since the snow flew, so good vibes and danceable music should prevail, with an emphasis on the classics — Stones, Beatles, Dylan — and a growing catalog of original songs. See Northern Light on Friday, May 1, at 8:30 p.m. at Chen Yang Li, 520 South St., Bow. See on.fb.me/1Kn5F99. • Trip out: Begun as a musical collective in 2011, psych folkies Cherokee Red built a following in their Wilkes-Barre home and on the festival circuit. A new EP finds the septet in the midst of a tour ranging between North Carolina and Portland, Maine, including a stop on the Seacoast. One critic said their dreamy music inspired absinthe drinking and poetry writing. See Cherokee Red on Saturday, May 2, at 9 p.m. at Blue Mermaid, 116 High St., Portsmouth. See facebook.com/cherokeeredmusic. • Horse set: A betting window, mint juleps, hors d’oeuvres and music from Jazz Brewers and Spotted Tigers accompany bigscreen coverage of the Kentucky Derby, the sporting world’s most popular two-minute event. The bash is a fundraiser for the Nashua PAL, which sponsors children’s sports, activities and enrichment programs.

Tickets are $20 at kentuckyderbypartynh.com. • Head west: Young singer-songwriter Brooks Hubbard is an engaging performer with a fresh voice and unique style. He’s also a New Hampshire mainstay, but Hubbard is moving to Los Angeles soon. The Lake Sunapee bar restaurant where he’s long been a Tuesday night regular bids him adieu with a proper afternoon concert. It’s the last chance to hear him preflight. See Brooks Hubbard on Sunday, May 4, at 4 p.m. at One Mile West, 6 Brook Road, Sunapee. Tickets are $10 — call 863-7500. Want more ideas for a fun night out?

Rock Hall of Fame guitarist talks solo show
er and a singer and you just go out and do it the way you always do it.
By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
In 2010, Slash recruited singer Myles Kennedy for his debut solo album. On the tour that followed, Kennedy joined the former Guns N’ Roses/Velvet Revolver guitarist; since then, it’s been a fruitful collaboration: two albums with almost three dozen songs, and constant touring. “I just like doing it all, whatever the opportunities are to go out and play, whatever the configuration,” said Slash, speaking with the Hippo in advance of a May 8 show in Hampton Beach. The interview also touched on making movies — he’s a horror film producer these days — and Slash’s iconic headgear. How do you stay so prolific? I think mostly it just comes from having a guitar with me all the time. I do the most writing when I’m on the road — it lends itself to that for me. Any idea that sounds half decent, I record … then the band gets together and we start hashing them out. One of the reasons the band works is that everybody wants to play all the time. With everybody loving what they do and that’s all they want to do, it makes it so that we can fool around and have a good time. As soon as we’re done with that we can go and start recording. There seem to be a lot of good ideas and everybody just digs it. So there’s just not other stuff that I’d rather be doing. I think that’s very different from many of our contemporaries, you know? Everybody’s kind of looking for a way out.

You’re producing movies, something your mother also did. Do you have show business memories? Well, she was mainly a costume designer … doing outfits and wardrobe for musicians, different artists over the years. But she did do Man Who Fell to Earth. I remember that being shot in New Mexico. I wasn’t there for hardly any of that because I was home in LA. But I remember the complexities of getting all that together on a schedule and budget. That’s the one thing I did take away from all that. At this point, I have a new movie going into production [out next year] called Hellbent. It’s effin’ awesome; it has a great script and director … it’s a lot of work, and an amazing amount of monotony and repetition [that’s] in some ways akin to making a record. There’s even more moving parts [and] people involved. That’s the most complicated thing about doing it. More than anything it’s getting the money together to do it. But I really love realizing something off the page, you know? Getting the components and necessary resources together to make it happen is why I got into it. One of the reasons making films really speaks to me is because I love the process.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
World’s Worst Sculptor
It seemed like a good idea when the town of Celoron, New York, agreed in 2009 to pay for a bronze statue honoring the village’s only celebrity. Lucille Ball had spent her childhood years there, and even today, everyone “Loves Lucy.” The result was apparently a monstrosity, described in news reports as “frightening” and unrecognizable by anyone who has ever watched Lucy’s TV shows or movies. The original sculptor first suggested a fee of $8,000 to $10,000 to make a better one, but after Mayor Scott Schrecengost started a fundraising campaign, the sculptor offered to make another one for free.
Leading Economic Indicators
In additional fallout from the budget cuts and personnel reductions at the IRS, the supervisory revenue official for the Dallas region disclosed in April that his office had so few collectors that it would pursue only scofflaws who owe the government at least $1 million. “I have to say,” the supervisor told a reporter, “nobody’s ever going to knock on (the) door” of anyone who owes from $100,000 to $999,999.
Unclear on the Concept
At Australia’s sixth annual National Disability Summit in Melbourne in March, all of the speakers except one were able-bodied. That person, in a wheelchair, had to be lifted up to the stage because there was no ramp. Furthermore, disabled activists in attendance told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that the “disabled” section’s table was at the back of the room, the food tables were elevated to accommodate standers, and one accessible toilet was being used as storage space.
Bright Ideas
• German high school student Simon Schrader, 17, preparing for the all-important “Abitur” advanced-level tests to identify top-performing students, filed a formal request in April, under North Rhine-Westphalia state’s generous freedom of information law, for an advance copy of the test. “I just wanted to see what they would say,” he said. (He filed a little late, in that the state’s deadline for responding came after most of the testing.) • Raising Our Most Delicate Generation: In preparation for the National Union of Students Women’s Conference in Solihull, England, in March some attendees requested that clapping for any of the speakers be discouraged, but that approval from the audience be expressed
by “jazz hands” open hands, palm directed to the stage, and the fingers extended wildly. Using “jazz hands” would show compassion for attendees who have anxiety and other disorders, and for speakers who might be distracted by the din of approval.
People Different From Us
Venezuelan women’s well-known obsession with bodily beauty usually focuses on face, breasts and buttocks, and model Aleira Avendano has certainly had those surgeries. However, Avendano’s signature feature is her 20-inch waist, which she says has been maintained by wearing an absurdly tight corset for 23 hours a day for the past six years. “I wash myself and rest for an hour, and then I put it on again. At first, it was terrible, then I got used to it, and (it) became a necessity.”
Compelling Explanations
California Law: A jury in Atascadero, California, having already convicted Mark Andrews, 51, of murder, concluded in March that he was legally sane at the time he shot his neighbor to death even though he claimed she was a vampire and that he himself had been, for 20 years, a werewolf. (A month later, a judge in San Francisco acquitted Santino Aviles, 41, of robbery and other felony charges after he claimed that the apartment he broke into was a spaceship that would take him to safety before the imminent explosion of the Earth. His lawyer called his condition a “meth-fueled psychosis,” and he was convicted only of misdemeanors.)
Readers’ Choice
(1) No charges were filed in the April incident in Lee County, Georgia, even though a 74-year-old woman was shot by her son-in-law. Deputies accepted the explanation that Larry McElroy shot at an armadillo with his 9mm handgun, killing it, but that the bullet ricocheted, traveled about 100 yards, first off of a fence and then through the woman’s mobile home, hitting her in the back. She was not seriously hurt. (2) Robert Abercrombie became the most recent practitioner of DIY tooth extraction when he yanked out a front tooth of his 8-year-old son, Jason, by tying the tooth to his Camaro and driving away. Jason was perfectly cool with the stunt, which was captured on video and posted on the Internet. “It came out!” Jason is seen shouting joyously (and bloodily) into the camera.
Recurring Themes
Too Much Information: The most recent fatwa, announced in April by the Directorate of Religious Affairs in Turkey, declared that “toilet paper” is now acceptable for pious Muslims. The directorate had previously decreed that only water could be used for such cleaning (or, if none was available, the left hand). (Toilet etiquette, called “Qadaa al-Haajah,” which obviously predates the invention of the actual “toilet,” requires entrance by the left foot, exit by the right, a postablution prayer and, most challengingly, “no reading.”) Visit weirduniverse.net.
