A WORD FROM LARRY

Master McGrath’s

Kickoff to summer Welcome to our Seacoast Scene Summer Guide. This issue is loaded with information about many of the cool things that are happening from now through Labor Day in the Seacoast area. Larry Marsolais There are beach events, festivals, plays, foodie fun and more. Keep this issue on hand throughout the summer and you’ll never be bored! For now, it’s time to celebrate Memorial Day weekend. What will you be doing? There are those backyard cookouts with family and friends that always seem to go late into the night. There are weekend getaway trips, maybe to the beach, lake, mountains or wherever you can relax and take a little extra time off. This weekend

is also the start of the camping season. No matter where you go, it is always good to get away from your everyday surroundings and enjoy something different. Wherever you end up this weekend, try to get to a parade. After all, Memorial Day is a time to honor those who gave their lives for our country and to recognize those who served. Take the time to thank someone who was in the service or still is. Have a safe and happy Memorial Day! As always, I would love to hear from our readers. Feel free to call me any time at 603-935-5096 to discuss local issues or to place an ad. Larry Marsolais is the general manager of the Seacoast Scene and the former president of the Hampton Rotary Club.

There are all kinds of opportunities to see puppetry performed in New Hampshire. One is through a puppetry theater, like Pontine Theater, based in Portsmouth. Co-artistic directors Marguerite Mathews, whose background is in theater performance and directing, and Greg Gathers, who specializes in designing sets, props and costumes, have created and performed more than 50 original shows together using many different forms of puppetry. “We perform, but we also create our own scripts, we direct ourselves, we make everything that we use on stage, we set up our own tours,” Mathews said. “We have complete control over everything from conception to delivery, and that is very satisfying.” Their shows are often stories inspired by New England culture or are stage adaptations of works of classic New England literature. Their spring production, Tales of New England Life, is based on three short stories written by Hampton Falls author Alice Brown (1857-1948). It’s touring now through June. Mathews and Gathers perform the premieres of their shows and conduct their business at The Plains School, a renovated historic one-room schoolhouse in Portsmouth. After the premiere, they take the show on tour to town halls, retirement communities,

libraries, historical societies and other community centers, most located within two hours of Portsmouth. Most puppeteers use some variation of a hand puppet, a puppet controlled by the puppeteer’s hand from the inside. A sock puppet is the simplest; it usually has no limbs, and its mouth is operated by the puppeteer’s whole hand opening and closing to make the puppet talk. The puppeteer may also use his wrist to give the puppet some body movement. Sock puppets may be soft fabric, or they may have heads with more structure, made from harder materials. Glove puppetry is a bit more complex in that the puppeteer divides his fingers within the puppet to control multiple body parts at once. A hand puppet may also include rods, operated by the puppeteer’s free hand, for more detailed movement. The Pontine Theatre uses some less common forms of puppetry, such as toy theater, shadow puppets and bunraku puppets. Toy theater, Gathers explained, is based on a form of children’s entertainment popular in the Victorian era in which the children would slide paper cut-out figures from side to side within a small paperboard theater using sticks attached to the base of the figures. Since traditional toy theater is too small for a full audience to see, Gathers and Mathews perform their toy 32

theater on a tabletop with a large backdrop and larger cut-out figures, some up to 24 inches tall. Shadow puppets, Gathers said, are cut-out figures that move side to side behind a translucent screen with a light projected onto it to create silhouettes of the figures. Bunraku puppets are large woodcarved puppets illuminated against a black backdrop and operated by a puppeteer, usually dressed in black, who is in plain sight of the audience, “showing the direct relationship between the puppet and the puppeteer,” Gathers said. Gathers makes all of the puppets for the Pontine Theatre from papier mache, wood, cardboard and other materials, as

well as the sets, props and costumes. “It’s something I enjoy doing, because it kind of marries my first love of drawing with my love of theater and performance,” he said. He said that when he and Mathews were acting and doing two-person shows, it got tiring, and the themes were always the same. “We got interested in puppetry because it allowed us to do shows with a cast of more than two characters and play characters outside of our genders and age ranges,” he said. “There is an infinite range of possibilities to explore and stories to tell with puppetry.” — Angie Sykeny

PEOPLE AND PLACES

Coffee with your cars? Monthly car shows draw hundreds Damien Callahan enjoys relaxation, coffee, car rides and conversation on his Sunday mornings. Though he noticed that many others share these interests, he struggled to find a community space where people could come together and partake in these things on a regular basis. So he created Seacoast Cars and Coffee, an automotive show at the Mall at Fox Run in Newington that happens the first Sunday of every month from May through October. He encourages people to bring in anything and everything with wheels and chat, have a coffee and marvel at the variety of vehicles. As their slogan goes, “If it rolls, and you love it, bring it!” Callahan, the founder of Seacoast Cars and Coffee, believes the defining feature of his monthly Sunday morning car shows is their diversity; he recalls going to many specific car shows, whether it was for muscle cars or imports, but never finding one in the area that embraced automotive culture holistically and provided a family-friendly, welcoming ambience. “Everyone’s kind of calm and chill,” Callahan said, “and it’s a nice, different way of having a car show. You don’t have to be into cars to have a good time at this show; it’s a

really nice way to spend a Sunday morning with family, with friends. And if you’re into cars it’s awesome because you get to kind of see a little bit of everything.” Seacoast Cars and Coffee’s next event is Sunday, June 2, starting at 8 a.m. and is expected to draw anywhere from 1,000 to 1,500 people. As Callahan remembers, it wasn’t always this way, as Cars and Coffee started with humble beginnings. Seacoast Cars and Coffee began in August 2014, when Callahan made a Facebook page that received 34 likes. Then, at their first car show at Roger’s Redliner Diner (which is now Me & Ollie’s Bakery and Cafe) in Portsmouth, he watched 34 vehicles show up. “That was a good sign, [that] we had a 100 percent turnout,” Callahan said. “Next month that almost doubled for September [and then] grew again in October. … We came back the next year and at that point we were over 100 cars and it just kind of grew and grew and grew from there.” Callahan watched a steep increase in popularity at his monthly event, so much so that he was forced to rapidly change venues, from Roger’s Redliner Diner, to Cinemagic in Portsmouth, to his current location at the Mall at Fox Run.

“We expected to take a year or two to fill Cinemagic but we actually filled it on the first event, the season opener that year,” Callahan said. “By 8:30 in the morning we filled the whole cinema behind the buildings, all through McKinnon’s [Market], all the [Roger’s Redliner] Diner, the 99 Restaurant; I mean, at that point, it was spilling out onto Route 1, so we knew we had to move.” At their current location, Seacoast Cars and Coffee continues to cultivate a local tradition that draws people from all over New England, “from Rhode Island to Vermont,” according to Callahan. “If you just walk through Cars and Coffee and look at the conversations people are having with each other, they all come together over their love for cars, bikes, trucks, whatever it is, it’s a passion,” Callahan said. “That’s been very cool to see. It’s not just one kind of person at these shows by any means, and we love that.” Unlike many other car shows, Seacoast Cars and Coffee requires no registration, is completely free, doesn’t hand out trophies and never separates vehicles by classes, divisions or any other distinction. Callahan believes that this has had a hand in creating an accepting atmosphere that encourages conversation between owners of everything

and anything. One of Callahan’s fondest memories of the monthly show is when he witnessed a young employee of a body shop bring in a beat-up 1950s Chevrolet pickup truck that his boss gave to him, telling him that if he could fix it and get it to run, he could have it. So, the young man brought the truck to Cars and Coffee, where he found himself parked next to a brand new Lamborghini Aventador. “I mean, the guy in the Lamborghini got out and wanted to go look at the old pickup truck and the kid in the pickup truck wanted to look at the Lamborghini, but that’s the point,” Callahan said. “That just says it all.” Callahan is working to expand his love of vehicles and community even further, with plans to open the Seacoast Cars and Coffee Cafe inside the Mall at Fox Run in June. Within the 11,500-square-foot facility, Callahan plans to offer an open cafe workspace that will include a constantly changing six-vehicle and four-motorcycle display and consistent showings of Motor Trend and any number of Nascar and other vehicle races. While Callahan hopes for a June 1 opening of the cafe, he said it may be pushed to mid-June. Visit seacoastcarsandcoffee.com and carsncoffeecafe.com. — Caleb Jagoda

CAR TALK

Mechanic’s overblown advice is 50 years too late Dear Car Talk: I own a 2013 Chevy Sonic with a turbo engine. I love the car and it gets great gas mileage. I don’t drive like a grandma, but I tend to drive a little on By Ray Magliozzi the easy side in order to maximize my gas mileage. I get in the upper 30s to lower 40s mpg. My buddy, who is a mechanic, says that I drive my car too gently. He says driving the way I do does not let the engine get hot enough, and I need to periodically “put the pedal to the metal” in order to “blow out the carbon.” He says this is especially true with a turbo engine, as you need to “make the turbo howl” every once in a while. I know that taking too many short trips can cause problems with the engine not getting hot enough, but most of my trips are in the 15- to 20-mile range. My buddy specializes in hot rod cars from the 1970s and ‘80s, so I think that is affecting his thinking about today’s cars. Is my buddy right? Or are things different now? — Ed Your buddy has his headlight firmly

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

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

auto parts store and asking them for a flasher for a 2000 Holden Commodore. Presumably, you’ll get a less confused reaction from them than you did from me. Then, either ask them to show you where it’s located with their parts locator chart, or go home and get under the dashboard with a flashlight and look for a part that looks exactly like the one you just bought. When you find it, unplug it and plug in the new one. If that fixes the problem, I imagine you’ll be the happiest guy in all of Australia. If that doesn’t fix it, you can return the flasher and get your five bucks back. Then take that money, add a chunk of your last paycheck to it, and drive the car to your mechanic. If it’s not the flasher, then it’s probably the multifunction switch on the steering column.

AT HUCKLEBERRY’S CANDIES Caren MacAskill was just 19 years old when she started working for longtime owners Bob and Billie Cooper of the former Sanborn’s Fine Candies in Hampton. Following the Coopers’ retirement earlier this year after nearly four decades, MacAskill and her husband Joshua Lent have now taken over the space, which has since reopened as Huckleberry’s Candies (293 Lafayette Road, Hampton, 926-5061, huckleberryscandies.com). Named after the street MacAskill grew up on — Huckleberry Lane, near Hampton Beach — the shop is carrying on the legacy of Sanborn’s Fine Candies by selling many of its products, while also making a number of its own in house using Sanborn’s recipes. Huckleberry’s Candies features a variety of fine chocolate assortments, gummy candies, sugar-free candies, maple candies, nonpareils, fudges, truffles and caramel corn, and will often offer several specialty options in line with each passing holiday. The Scene recently spoke with MacAskill to talk about how she plans to continue the long-standing tradition of Sanborn’s Fine Candies through her shop and what types of sweets she has planned for this upcoming summer. How long has Huckleberry’s Candies been around? [We opened at] the beginning of March, so a little more than two months now. I had worked with the Coopers for 21 years when they owned the shop as Sanborn’s. I had left to go do other things, but I would always come back to work for them. What makes Huckleberry’s Candies unique? We get some of our products from the Sanborn’s store in Plaistow, but we do make a good amount of our candies in house too, [like] our chocolate barks, our nonpareils, our peanut butter cups,

and the majority of our molded items. Just because Sanborn’s had been around forever, we’re hoping to continue that tradition, but also to start new traditions for people who have never been here before. Last summer we made Fluffernutter cups with marshmallow and peanut butter. I want to do that again this year. We’re also going to be doing fun things in line with the summer like chocolate flip-flops, gummy sand dollars, chocolate lobsters, that sort of thing. What is your personal favorite candy? Right now, it’s the dark chocolate peanut butter cup. But that kind of rotates in

shop] is a brand new experience for me, and that I’m not going to get everything perfect right away as the owner.

What candy should everyone try? Our sugar mints are really popular. It’s a thin little wafer with sugar and a little bit of flavoring. It’s so soft and creamy that when you bite into it, it just melts in your mouth.

What is your favorite part of being on the Seacoast? I love spending days on the beach, but this area is also such a good spot with so many things close by to take advantage of. If you want to go hiking, you can find a mountain or a hill within a half hour. If you want to go out, there are so many great restaurants and music halls for concerts.

What is an essential skill to running a candy shop? For me, it’s patience. I think it’s being able to be patient not only for everyone else, but also knowing that [owning the

Sometimes, you just can’t bake from scratch. Whether there are too many kids in the class to make homemade cupcakes or you just don’t have time, there are a few hacks I’ve found to help elevate your runof-the-mill boxed cake mix. This week, I’m working with yellow cake mix. Yellow cake is different than white or vanilla cake. Since it requires both the egg whites and yolks and because it uses strictly butter rather than shortening (or a combo), the resulting hue is yellow. Plus, it’s a richer, more flavorful cake in my opinion. If you search “boxed cake mix hacks,” you will find several ideas from various bloggers. I wanted to see which ones actually tasted good, so I tested out a few things on a box I had in my cupboard. I divided the cake mix into three bowls and went to town. The box I had called for three eggs, ½ cup of oil and 1 cup water. Here’s what I tried: 1. Subbed milk for water. 2. Subbed melted butter for oil. 3. Added mayonnaise on top of recipe (I know, but I kept seeing this one and had to try). Here’s what I learned about how each affected the baking: 1. Subbing milk for water made the cupcakes puff up a lot! The cupcakes were fluffy and airy, but still tight enough to maintain their shape. 2. Using butter made a really dense cupcake, almost looked like a corn muffin. Very dense and they needed less time to bake than the others. I overbaked these a little. 3. Perhaps because of the added oil in the mayo, these were the loosest structure. So, what did they taste like? 1. The ones with milk were probably my favorite. They were that delicious yellow cake flavor but were a tad richer than usual. 2. The butter ones tasted quite good. Frankly, really buttery. It took away from the classic yellow taste but to be honest, they were still quite delicious! 3. The ones with mayonnaise were my least favorite. There was an aftertaste that way, dare I say, mayonnaise-ey? The biggest thing I insist on for baking with cake mixes is making your own frosting. It’s easy, doesn’t take a lot of time and makes a world of different. I used Sally’s Baking Addiction’s classic chocolate buttercream frosting. I barely measure the ingredients, kind of wing it, and it always turns out amazing! Going the extra mile

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

Bring beer to share

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

including Bert’s Better Beers in Hooksett, let you mix and match brews on your own. Do it.

Light is good

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

OK, you can bring special beer

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

Be responsible

This one’s obvious but it never hurts to remind yourself (and others) that responMix it up sibility is key.

(Pen-

Americans like to see rich and powerful people go at it. From the Ewings and the Barneses to the Starks and the Lannisters, there’s something primal and satisfying about seeing privileged people reduced to hissing and clawing at each other like cats. This sort of drama is unfolding right now in Silicon Valley, though a little more politely than on television shows. A handful of Cassandras, including a former Google ethicist and a prolific investor in technology, have formed a chorus warning that unchecked technology poses a real and present threat to our cherished institutions and values. They include Tristan Harris, a former Google ethicist and co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, and Roger McNamee, a prominent investor and former adviser to Facebook, who in Zucked, Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe thrusts a savage knife into Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and other titans of tech. Zucked is a manifesto of harms inflicted on the world by a hoodie-wearing man-child who insists that all he wants to do is connect us and bring us together (words hilariously mocked on an internet bingo card circulating when Zuckerberg was testifying before Congress). Zucked looks like a book, and it reads like a book, but it feels more like revenge. McNamee believes that Google, Facebook, Twitter and other platforms are unraveling the fabric of democracy, undermining relationships and exploiting human weaknesses for profit. But what he’s really mad about, it seems, is that Mark Zuckerberg dissed him three years ago. It’s a story that McNamee tells early in the book: how he came to suspect that “bad actors” were legally using Facebook for nefarious purposes, how he composed first an article, then a memo, detailing his worries. This was in October 2016, three weeks before America woke up to the coming reality of President Donald Trump. “Russia” and “collusion” had not yet become popular search terms. But McNamee was worried enough that he sent a memo outlining his concerns to his old friend “Zuck” and Sheryl Sandberg, the company’s CEO. Both responded politely within hours to

the man who was a longtime investor and adviser, a man whose circle at Elevation Partners includes U2 frontman Bono. And then — pretty much nothing. Zuckerberg and Sandberg delegated the management of McNamee to a lesser Facebook executive, whose job was apparently to placate. The publication of Zucked is evidence that he failed. The book is McNamee muttering “Dracarys.” This is not to diminish the importance of the points he makes. Google and Facebook, McNamee believes, “have exported America’s twin vices of self-centered consumerism and civic disengagement to a world ill-equipped to handle them.” Google’s speed has convinced Americans that they are authorities on everything, even though we’re all “three degrees of Alex Jones” because both our news feeds and search results are tailored to the dossiers that these monolithic companies have compiled on us. (Fun fact: If you have $75,000 to spare, you can legally obtain a list of 200 million voting-age Americans with 1,500 “data points” about each person, McNamee says. Most of us would be hard pressed to compile 150 data points about our mothers.) Facebook, McNamee writes, has created a world where facts are not absolutes but choices, because of the so-called “filter bubbles” that protect us from opposing views on the internet. Algorithms maximize profit for tech companies when they maximize our attention, leading tech companies to use the same kind of tricks that make slot machines addictive, training us, like rats, to push a lever repeatedly in frenzied pursuit of variable rewards. The algorithms are most successful when they evoke lizard-brain emotions such as anger or fear. “Not everyone who is online is addict-

ed. Not everyone has been manipulated,” McNamee admits. But everyone is affected when others are, he argues. “No one can escape the consequences of these addictions and manipulations, as they affect enough people to undermine even the most successful countries,” he writes. So what to do, since even people with access to Mark Zuckerberg can’t seem to make a difference? McNamee, Harris and others believe that the biggest tech companies should be regulated, that the U.S. should have a bureau of technology akin to the Food and Drug Administration. Google and Facebook should be broken up, they say, and their acquisitions and data sharing restricted. And both Harris and McNamee advocated for the design of “humane technology” that, instead of exploiting human weaknesses, enhances our wellbeing. (Some research has shown that people are happier only for the first 10 minutes they’re on a social platform; after that, our sense of well-being diminishes.) You can also tell big tech to zuck off by doing as McNamee has done: erasing your Facebook history and refraining from posting or reacting to political posts. “It took six months, but my news feed is now dominated by the music side of my life [he’s in a band], birthdays, and puppies,” he writes. McNamee also uses DuckDuckGo instead of Google for searches, and uses a tracking blocker called Ghostery. “I am far from invisible on the web, but my shadow is smaller,” he said. He’s still on Facebook, but doesn’t say if Zuckerberg is still a friend. Zucked wants to be important, and its ideas are, but its presentation makes this a book that could have benefited from a ghostwriter. C — Jennifer Graham

SQUALUS SAGA This year marks the 80th anniversary of the saga of the Squalus, a submarine built at the Portsmouth Navy Yard that sank during its 19th test dive on May 23, 1939, six miles southeast of the Isles of Shoals. During the dive, the main induction valve failed to close, and water rushed into the submarine, flooding the aft compartment. Submerged in 240 feet of water, 33 of its 59 crew members were rescued. It was the greatest submarine rescue in the history of the United States Navy. To commemorate the anniversary, Karen Raynes and Mike Garland have researched and produced a documentary, “Saga of the Submarine Squalus,” that will be shown Monday, May 27, at 1 p.m.,

at the American Legion Post 35, 69 High Street in Hampton, and Tuesday, May 28, at 6:30 p.m., at the Lane Memorial Library, 2 Academy Avenue in Hampton. The documentary tells the story of the rescue, salvage and rebirth of the Squalus. The screenings are free and all are welcome. An exhibit about the Squalus is on display at the Tuck Museum of Hampton History, 40 Park Avenue in Hampton. The museum is open Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, 1 to 4 p.m. Photo: Survivors of the USS Squalus 1939

Dynamic duo

Jam band veterans shine as Coalboilers quick and go out and try it.” Both play guitar; Carozzo provides a steady rhythm counterpoint to Backstrom’s pyrotechnic fretwork. Their harmonies recall great duos like Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina or David Crosby and Graham Nash. Despite their history gigging together, it wasn’t until last year that they finally went into the studio. “We always had other bands and other priorities,” Carozzo said. “This thing was so much fun and relaxing and such an easy thing to do, especially after being in these high-pressure band situations.” The sessions weren’t much different than Coalboilers shows, other than being a bit more disciplined. “We had a plan: Don’t go off on a tangent as much as we might have if it was live,” Backstrom said. “It was kind of like we were playing on stage but being very aware of the time factor. We didn’t make a song 10 minutes long or something like that.” With cuts like the churning tale of unre-

IN HARMONY There’s a story of a hush passing over a Laurel Canyon living room decades ago when Crosby, Stills & Nash revealed their harmony sweet spot. Similarly, a reverent silence greeted Elissa Margolin and Stefanie Guzikowski the first time they sang together. It led to River Sister, a band that balances folk tradition, jazz rhythm and glorious singing. They perform at the venue where it all began.

The response surprised them a bit. “We’re sold out of the CDs; they are on order,” Carozzo said. “We didn’t put it up on a streaming service yet, because we were going back and forth on whether we wanted to remaster it. We’re sort of figuring out as to whether we want to fix it or not; we need to make some decisions on that.” Early on, The Coalboilers were a trio, rounded out by Paul Wolstencroft, now with Slightly Stoopid. They did pick up gigs at John Harvard’s in Cambridge when their bands weren’t working, which wasn’t often in the busy 1990s. Later, the owner of The Attic in Newton Center recruited them for regular Sunday sets, and gave them a name. “The place was in an old brick building

The musical connection between Gary Backstrom and Charley Carrozo is strong, seasoned by multiple decades playing together. They can introduce a new song to their set as they learn it; their bond is that instinctive. “We can play with our eyes shut,” Backstrom said during a recent joint interview. “It’s an unspoken thing; I don’t know where it comes from, but it feels like more than just Charlie and me, there’s this third entity kind of steering things.” Both have a myriad of other projects in addition to playing in two-man band The Coalboilers. Backstrom leads his own group and, when schedules allow, plays in Jiggle The Handle, which he co-founded in 1989. Carrozo is in Way Up South. Playing as a duo is respite of sorts, Carrozo explained. “We both love our bands, don’t get me wrong,” he said, “but the labors of learning songs with five or six people, and now Gary has eight, is a lot different than this. It’s just nice to be able to learn something really

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Recurring theme

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

Chutzpah!

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

Crime report

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

Cuteness alert

• Hugo the dog is a frequent boarder at Happy Tails Pet Hotel and Playland in St. Ann, Missouri. In early May, according to KTVI, Hugo proved how much he loves his pals at the doggy day care: He ran away from home, navigated a busy street and covered more than a mile to get to Happy Tails, where he ran inside to greet his canine friends.

• Baby’s First Shoes: When Olivia the giraffe gave birth to her son on May 2 at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, zookeepers noticed his rear feet were not in normal alignment, a condition called hyperextended fetlocks. So the 170-pound baby, as yet unnamed, was fitted with casts to correct the problem, and along with them, his own custommade pair of therapeutic shoes made of plywood and polyethylene. “I’m hopeful they will help him walk better,” zoo veterinarian Dr. Tim Storms told KIRO. He expects the treatment will continue over several months.

Rules are rules

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

son told officers, according to an arrest affidavit. “Take me to jail.” He was so intoxicated, police said, that he failed a field sobriety test and “almost fell to the ground multiple times.” At the police station, Anderson accused police of poisoning him and requested that he be taken to a hospital, where test results found his blood-alcohol content to be three times Florida’s legal limit. Anderson has two prior DUI convictions and has not had a valid driver’s license since 1978. “It’s never a good idea to get behind the wheel drunk,” noted police Chief Jim Elensky, “even if that wheel is to a Craftsman, Massey Ferguson or John Deere.”

started his life at the zoo about four years ago, after being shot in the upper beak during a raid at a drug den, which disfigured his face and earned him the name Freddy Krueger, reported The Guardian. In April, Freddy survived being bitten on the leg by a (nonvenomous) snake, which resulted in profuse bleeding. Just days later, armed thieves broke into the zoo and stole Freddy, along with another parrot and a cylinder of gas. But true to Freddy form, the parrot made his way back to the zoo, where veterinarian Ilair Dettoni speculated that Freddy’s deformities may have made him less desirable to the thieves. “I don’t know if Freddy is really unlucky or really lucky,” he said. The other parrot and the gas cylinder have not Awesome! Cinema’s Freddy Krueger has noth- been located. ing on a winged resident of the Cascavel Visit newsoftheweird.com. city zoo in Brazil.

Government in action

New Zealand’s House Speaker, Trevor Mallard, ejected National Leader Simon Bridges from the chamber on May 7, claiming that Bridges’ conduct was inappropriate during Question Time. “The member earlier made a barnyard noise of the sort that would not be accepted in a junior classroom,” Mallard said. But Bridges objected, saying, “I made no such noise and it is entirely unfair for you as a speaker to say that sort of unprofessional comment.” The New Zealand Herald reported that Bridges later said Mallard’s comments made him feel like a “naughty boy”; later inspection of video from the session revealed that Bridges had made a loud sound of disapproval after an answer given by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

Florida

A police officer in Haines City, Florida, was inside a local business on May 4 when he heard “a loud noise” outside. In the parking lot, he found Gary Wayne Anderson, 68, had just crashed his riding lawnmower (with a trailer carrying a red cooler) into the officer’s cruiser, reported the Miami Herald. “I’m drunk,” Ander-

PET OF THE WEEK Parsnip is a 3-year-old Dutch rabbit. She’s a big bunny with a big personality to match! She is used to having lots of room to run around and will need that opportunity in her new home. She’s charming and affectionate, but on her own terms. She’s looking for a home that will give her the time needed to form a trusting bond. Rabbits make wonderful pets and can really thrive in the right home. They are curious, social and very smart. Just like cats or dogs, they can live out and about in the house with you. Bunnies can be trained to use a litter box and can even learn to do tricks! Like all the rabbits at the New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham, Parsnip has been spayed to help prevent pet overpopulation. Visit nhspca.org.
