A WORD FROM LARRY

Master McGrath’s

Support the Scouts First off, what a great Memorial Day weekend! We finally had some nice weather and the traffic all weekend was a sign that it was a good one. So after a nice long weekend, what do you Larry Marsolais do the following weekend? You get over to the Masonic Lodge, 177 Tide Mill Road in Hampton, for the largest yard sale on the coast. Boy Scout Troop 177 is hosting its 19th annual yard sale over the course of three days: May 31 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., June 1 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and June 2 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be more than 175 tables set up inside the lodge and outside under a 20 x 80 tent. The troop just unloaded a 55-foot

tractor trailer truck over the weekend and another 30-foot truck will be unloaded during the week. When I tell you that there is everything under the sun at this sale, there is! Start your weekend early and help Troop 177 raise money for its yearly programs. If you’re looking for deals, come over on Sunday and you can fill a box for $5 — or you can fill a whole truck for $50. Did I mention that we also have a kitchen and will be selling all kinds of food all day, every day? Hope to see you all there! As always feel free to call me anytime 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.

BIKING THE

coast by Rob Levey

All kinds of bikes

There are several kinds of bikes you can rent at Ocean Cycles in Hampton Falls. “We rent single-speed cruiser bikes, which are great for older people,” owner Ron Deshaies said. “If you are an older person with balance issues these are a great choice because they are a low-step bike. They all come with a basket and are very comfortable to ride.” Local bike and scooter shops Seacoast Scooters 12 Lafayette Road North Hampton 603-379-2482 seacoastscooters.com Ocean Cycles 19 Lafayette Road Hampton Falls 603-926-5757 oceancycles.net EZ Bikes & Scooters 61 Epping Road Exeter 603-778-1402 ezbikesandscooters.com Scoot-n-Around 210 Ocean Boulevard Seabrook 603-380-3966 scootnaround.com

Also for rent are multi-speed cruiser bikes that are seven-speed, which Deshaies described as “comfortable and laid back,” and mountain bikes. And new to the rental lineup are multi-person bikes known as surreys. “These are two-person or four-person bikes with little roofs that you ride across the beach,” he said. “We have pull-behind wagons that you can pull all your beach gear in.” The experience you’ll have while biking along the beach depends on what you’re riding, according to Teresa Hemenway, co-owner of EZ Bikes & Scooters in Exeter. “Regular bicycles are great for exercise and taking you off the beaten path,” she said. “Most of us have experience riding a bicycle so there’s not a large learning curve. If you’re looking for a light to moderate to heavy workout while sightseeing, a regular bike is for you.” If you’re looking for an easier ride, though, electric bikes are an option. They’re just like regular bikes, similar to the kind “most of us grew up riding,” Hemenway said. “Operating an electric bike is easy with just the twist of a handle grip — like a scooter — or pressing of a thumb throttle,” she said. Because they are motorized, though, Hemenway said, they provide you with the option of pedaling as little or as much as you like so you can get as much exercise as desired. “Electric bikes allow you to go further than you might be able to go on a regular bike and are also great when going against the wind,” she said. In looking ahead to the summer, Deshaies said he anticipates a busy season. He said their business has grown in recent years, too, with the addition of a bigger store at the beach. 8

Driving in a car along the coastline is nice, and so is walking on the beach. But if you’re looking for a different way to experience the Seacoast, consider a leisurely bike ride — on a bike built for one, or two, or even four — or scooter around if you want to add a little umph to your ride.

“I am hoping to do 1,000 rentals 7 a day,” he said. Along with locals and tourists, he noted that “a lot of exchange students come up for the summer and they need to rent bikes, so we rent them cheap bikes.” He also expressed excitement at new technology. “This year we have an app where you can type in the bike serial number and the bike will automatically unlock,” he said. For Deshaies the summer is as much about the past as it is the future, though, as he said his grandfather opened the The Coastal Trails Coalition

business on the day Jaws opened on June 1, 1975. “We have been renting bikes and selling bikes ever since,” he said. “I got into the work in the mid-’90s and it has changed a lot since my grandfather. I have been fixing bikes and working on bikes now for most of my life.” Deshaies said he likes to think that Ocean Cycles has something to do with making people’s visits to the beach even better. “When you ride a surrey around the beach and you are with your family and kids, it is a lot of fun,” he said. “It is all about being outside and having fun and enjoying the beach and the Seacoast. It’s also about hanging at the beach and having Cristi’s and Sal’s pizza and going to the Casino.”

Scooters

At Seacoast Scooters in North Hampton, co-owner Renato Sehovic said they offer 49cc Honda Ruckus and Honda 10 Metropolitan Scooters for rent.

“These are highly regarded mod8 els known for their looks and reliability,” he said. According to Sehovic, the Ruckus has a more sporty look with an exposed frame and big circular headlights while the Metro has a classic Vespa look. “Honestly, they are both great for any and all riders, so it is up to personal preference,” he said. “No previous experience is required, and our staff is great about going over usage, safety and features with everyone.” He said they travel at about 35 miles per hour. Hemenway noted that most rental scooters also only require a valid driver’s license to operate; a motorcycle license is not required. Leaving the car behind to rent a scooter has a few benefits, aside from the novelty of seeing the Seacoast in a new way. “These scooters can go up to 100 miles on a single tank of gas,” she said. “Scooters also offer parking options that other motor vehicles do not, such as parking on sidewalks, as permitted, and in non-designated parking areas.” Sehovic said one of his favorite things about renting scooters is seeing the reactions of their customers. “One of the most common phrases from customers who rent and buy our

scooters is, ‘I can’t stop smiling,’” he said. “That reaction pretty much sums it up for me.” For Sehovic, renting scooters is not just a business but a personal passion. “I have always loved riding scooters and motorcycles,” he said. “There is nothing like the feeling of riding in the open air. When you add the Seacoast views and some of our local restaurants and attractions, it just adds to the experience.” As for expectations for the summer, Sehovic said this is their first, which he described as exciting. “We are very excited for the summer season and hope that tourists as well as locals take advantage of everything we have to offer from rentals to sales,” he said.

Where to ride

Regarding possible cycling routes, Deshaies cited Hampton Beach as a great spot. “A nice ride is Hampton Beach to Rye Harbor,” he said. “You can’t ride on the beach or on the sand, but there are bike paths on the side of the road. Hampton Beach to Portsmouth Harbor is really nice as well. Salisbury Beach is a great ride, too.” Hemenway has a few suggestions too. “Our most favorite route is on 12

10 Route 1A traveling from Hampton Beach to downtown Portsmouth,” she said. “The route takes you along the beach shores of the Seacoast, past state parks, historical homes and sights, through the quaint little town of New Castle and into the bustling city of Portsmouth.” If you like the countryside, she suggested taking any road off Route 1A. “There are twists and turns and lots of intersecting roads, so be sure to bring a navigation app to get you back to 1A,” she said. She said Odiorne State Park in Rye is another great spot for biking. “It features a bike path that runs along Route 1A,” she said. Located at 570 Ocean Boulevard, Odiorne State Park features an extensive network of trails that wind through dense vegetation. Sweeping views of the ocean make bike riding through this park a can’t-miss opportunity for the avid or recreational cyclist. Just keep in mind that admission is $4 for adults and $2 for kids ages 6 to 11. Sehovic said their “go-to ride” is right up the coast. “People can enjoy the beautiful ocean views as well as see some of the gorgeous homes along the way,” he said. “We find that during hotter days the coastal trip provides a refreshing breeze, which is a bonus.”

Gordon Harris, an avid biker who posts regularly on bikenewengland. com, shared a favorite ride along Salisbury Beach: The 13-mile ride begins at the Essex Street Inn near downtown Newburyport and crosses the Merrimack River Route 1 bridge to Salisbury. Turn off immediately to take local roads to Salisbury Beach State Reservation. Return following Route 110 to the town of Salisbury and then cycle a couple of miles on the Salisbury Trail (Clipper City Rail Trail extension) before returning to town.

Advice from a pro

According to Teresa Hemenway, coowner of EZ Bikes & Scooters in Exeter, anyone looking to rent or buy a bike, electric bike or scooter would benefit from the following advice: • Find a rental place that will take the time to help you find the bike or scooter that best fits you. “They should not just be knowledgeable about their products, but also exercise patience in helping you to understand the bike or scooter,” she said. • Do not be afraid to ask questions on how to operate the bike/scooter before you ride out of the rental store. “As they say,” she said, “there’s no such thing as a stupid question, especially when it comes

to safety.” • Ask the store if their bikes/scooters are frequently serviced. “A full-time, onsite technician is a good sign of service,” she said. • Check reviews, such as Google and Facebook. “You want to see other renters’ experiences with the rental business,” she said.

Safety tips

According to Hemenway, riders should follow some basic safety rules. • Always wear a helmet. No one really wants to, but protecting your head is more important than an embarrassing “helmet head” hairdo, she said. • Make yourself visible by wearing brightly colored clothing. Make sure your lights, front and back, are working properly.

• Make eye contact with drivers when approaching an intersection. Make sure they see you. Don’t be afraid to use your horn or bicycle bell to get their attention. • Don’t go “full bore” or to top speed before you know the bike/scooter that you’re riding. It’s much easier to learn your vehicle at a lower, more manageable speed. • Exercise extra caution when mounting or dismounting your electric bike/ scooter. Too often riders mistakenly twist the throttle before they’re ready to get on or get off and that results in an out-ofcontrol situation. • Don’t be afraid to ask questions on operating the bike/scooter before you ride out of the rental store. “Following these safety tips should help in a lot of situations,” she said.

Ride to End Alzhiemer’s in Rye. Courtesy photo.

Ride to End Alzheimer’s Saturday, June 22, at Odiorne State Park in Rye Started by the Noonan family in 1996, the Ride to End Alzheimer’s (formerly known as the Memory Ride) is a fully supported one-day fundraising event to directly impact the pace and momentum behind the fight to end Alzheimer’s disease. Participants in the Ride to End Alzheimer’s raise critical funds and awareness to advance research and take one step closer to a cure. The Ride to End Alzheimer’s is for a range of riders, with more than 500 expected at this event. Participants may choose between four scenic options (100-mile, 62-mile, 30-mile or family ride) and cycle along the coast of New Hampshire and through picturesque New England towns. “Riders cross the finish line and arrive back to oceanfront views at Odiorne State Park with a live band, barbecue lunch, beer tent and DJ,” said Sara Trimble, development officer for Team End Alz of the Alzheimer’s Association, Massachusetts/New Hampshire Chapter. Trimble said the Ride to End Alzheimer’s is a research-driven cycling event with 90 percent of all funds raised given to research-restricted grants for Alzheimer’s. Now in its 23rd year, the Ride to End Alzheimer’s has raised more than $6.4 million to directly advance research 126122

SEACOAST SCENE | MAY 30 - JUNE 5, 2019 | PAGE 14

toward the first survivor of Alzheimer’s. “Our cyclists ride hundreds of miles in a dedicated effort to bring us one mile closer to our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s disease,” Trimble said. “We won’t stop until we find a cure. Cyclists and volunteers can register by visiting RidetoEndAlzheimers.org. Bikes & Beers July 20 at Smuttynose in Hampton For the first time, the national event Bikes & Beers will come to Hampton with 500 people expected in attendance. “Bikes and Beers is a cycling tour that goes all around the country with 21 events this year,” said Sam Accardi, founder and CEO of Bikes and Beers. “The rides are generally 15 and 30 miles long, so we get all rider levels from beginner to advanced.” He said they not only host these rides with major craft breweries, but they benefit local cycling charities at the same time. Proceeds from this event in Hampton will benefit Bike Walk Alliance of New Hampshire, which is a cycling advocacy group that works to improve cycling conditions in the state. “All of our events benefit a local cycling charity to give back to the community in which the brewery is located,” Accardi said.

PEOPLE AND PLACES

MICHAEL BERNIER North Hampton resident Michael Bernier, who attends Worcester Polytechnic Institute and is majoring in biomedical engineering, was a member of a student team that recently completed an intense, hands-on research project in Washington, D.C., titled Analyzing Rideshare Bicycles and Scooters. Tell us about your recent participation in the research project in Washington, D.C. For my Interdisciplinary Qualifying Project, I worked with the Consumer Product Safety Commission to analyze the impacts, both physically and socially, of the ridesharing programs in the D.C. area. The type of rideshare my team focused on was electrical scoot- Michael Bernier. Courtesy photo. er and bicycle transportation. What did it entail and what resulted from it? We conducted observational studies on rider behavior, maintenance conditions, and patterns of distribution throughout the city during the day. The team also interviewed local officials and interest groups. During the entire process, the team was also conducting research both at a local level as well as national level to collect as much information on the products as possible. Our team analyzed all our data, compiled rules and regulations of the D.C. area as well as other areas. We surveyed local opinions and knowledge, too, which allowed our team to make suggestions to the CPSC and blanket statements on the impacts. What were your conclusions? We concluded that there are many physical risks that could harm people due to mishandling of devices as well as the devices being poorly maintained due to conditions they are exposed to. The team believed these devices offered many benefits that could be very impactful if the proper regulations are placed. The team suggested that the CPSC work to further test the physical issues at hand, mainly the maintenance, and potentially work toward safety standards on the devices. What was your most favorite part about this project? The part I enjoyed the most was getting to be a part of a project that focused on a [current] and controversial topic. I enjoyed feeling that the work we produced was meaningful and could lead to an actual change.

What was the most challenging? It is very difficult to get interviews to happen and to survey the public. My team and I struggled many times in this area, often facing rejection and failure. Despite this difficulty, through persistence and targeting enough people, the team was able to gather a fairly large pool of interviewed and surveyed people.

What are your future plans for a career? I am majoring in biomedical engineering with a minor in mechanical engineering. I would like to eventually get into the design side of engineering. However, any more specifics are uncertain for me at this time. I think this project opened my eyes to a new side of engineering, which I hadn’t yet thought of. Prior to this project I was focused purely on manufacturing, but this project showed me there may be more out there to consider. Are you back in the area for the summer? I’m returning this summer to work for the CPSC as an intern working as a mechanical engineer and will focus on the scooters I did my project on.

HOLISTIC HEALING Tailored to You

What do you plan to do for fun this summer? While I’m still in New Hampshire I plan on being at the beach and being with my friends. Once I move down to the D.C. area again … [I’ll spend some] free time sightseeing and continuing to see all of the mall. Lastly, is there anything you want people to know about your project or school? My school gave me this awesome experience, and it has prepared me for a group project in a real-world scenario. ... WPI is one of the best schools possible for that type of learning. I also would like people to see the work we did and understand [that] although it is not a finalized conclusion … these products need to be regulated and managed more properly. When this occurs, they could potentially be the future of urban transportation. — Rob Levey

An ocean of fun

Celebrate with the Blue Ocean Society all week long Brazilian Steakhouse

NH’S MOST

UNIQUE DINING EXPERIENCE

Starting on the first day of June, the Blue Ocean Society for the first time expands World Oceans Day, which started in 2016, to World Oceans Week. It’s happening June 1 to June 8, and the week will feature all kinds of activities that celebrate the ocean. Blue Ocean Society was founded in 2001 by two whale watch naturalists, Jen Kennedy and Dianna Schulte, who were frustrated with the lack of translation of open ocean research into information that could be used by the public. “The Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation’s mission is to protect marine life in the Gulf of Maine through research, education and inspiring action,” said Kennedy, who is also the executive director of the Society, which is based in Portsmouth in the Governor Langdon House, and also runs the Blue Ocean Discovery Center in Hampton Beach. The Week will kick off with a 5K race, Run for the Ocean, right on Hampton Beach. Part of the race takes place on the boardwalk and sidewalks, and part is right on the beach. Runners who cannot physically attend the race may still participate as “virtual runners,” doing the run from wherever they can, wherever they are. Those who do not wish to run are welcome to walk or to simply make a donation to the Blue Ocean Society. All proceeds go to the Blue Ocean Society to help its efforts to conserve marine life.

This year there will be three beach cleanup days, on June 2, June 4 and June 8. “We provide all supplies, including bags, non-latex gloves and data cards,” Kennedy said. “Volunteers are encouraged to wear work gloves to minimize our use of disposable gloves. We suggest participants dress in layers and wear sturdy, close-toed shoes for safety. Cleanups are conducted rain or shine.” Also on June 8, there will be a yoga class, and an opportunity to whale-watch aboard the M/V Granite State. On June 5, the World Oceans Week Party will be hosted by the Liar’s Bench Beer Co. on Islington Street in Portsmouth. There will be food from Lure Bar and Kitchen, a hot sauce tasting with Spicy Shark, and a chance to check out clothing from Portsmouth company the Drift Collective. On June 6, the Seacoast Science Center, in Rye, will be screening the documentary Rubber Jellyfish, directed by Australian filmmaker Carly Wilson. A film synopsis from the film’s website states: “We all know that throwing rubbish on the ground is littering, so why is letting a balloon float away seen as something different? Rubber Jellyfish is a feature-length documentary that explores the effects of helium balloons on the environment, wildlife and human beings. Mum-to-be Carly Wilson sets out on a personal journey to meet key players on all sides in the fight to ban balloons, and exposes the confronting

truth behind our favourite party product. As she travels around Australia seeking to understand the science and various points of view, Carly discovers a range of issues, from the heartbreaking impact on sea turtles to the potentially deadly effect of helium on children. Her journey takes her from littered beaches to the capital, as she speaks to activists, businesses, and politicians to find out why the balloon problem is being ignored and if something can be done.” Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the screening at 7 p.m., followed by a discussion of the film and Q & A session with the Blue Ocean Society. For more information about World Oceans Week, volunteering with the Blue Ocean Society, or to make a donation, visit blueoceansociety.org. Those looking to sign up for the 5K Run for the Ocean event should visit runreg.com. “We strive to learn more about the Gulf of Maine, and particularly an important habitat called Jeffreys Ledge, and then bring our research to the public through a variety of outreach programs,” Kennedy said. “We hope by sharing information with the public and resource managers, more people will be inspired to learn more about the marine environment and help protect it. Our vision is of thriving marine life in the Gulf of Maine with citizens committed to environmental stewardship.” — Mike Costello

CAR TALK

Those nuts didn’t tighten my lug nuts! Dear Car Talk: Is it possible for lug nuts to loosen over a period of time (after 2,500 miles) if they were improperly installed? I had seasonal tires By Ray Magliozzi changed at a service location, and about a month later, six lug nuts were missing (four on the right rear and two on the left rear). The service center is stating that it is unlikely that they are responsible. However, I am hearing and reading otherwise from other sources. — Barbara Oh, it’s very likely that they are responsible. Someone forgot to tighten your lug nuts or didn’t tighten them enough. And that’s exactly what will happen. Over time, they’ll slowly work their way loose. Every time you hit a pothole or a bump, they’ll get a little looser. Until finally, one falls off. Of course, you won’t notice that. Then, a few days or a week later, another one falls off. Eventually (if you’re lucky), the car will start shaking, and the wheel will make banging noises as it wobbles around. That’s when you check and

find out you were one lug nut away from a major accident. Normally, when we install tires, we’ll start by tightening the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern. Then we’ll go around once clockwise to make sure they’re all tight. It’s a simple job, really. It’s something shops do many times a day. But doing it wrong can be deadly; it’s important to have safety systems in place so no one drives out of your shop with loose lug nuts. That’s auto mechanics 101. Who knows what happened in the shop that day? Maybe the mechanic’s battery powered wrench was low on power? Maybe the roach coach arrived, and he had a sudden urge for a tofu burrito and forgot which wheels he’d already tightened. In any case, I’d let this shop know that, having spoken to other mechanics, you are quite certain they neglected to tighten your lug nuts properly, and it created a very dangerous situation for you. Tell them you hope they will be putting better systems in place with their employees to ensure it doesn’t happen again. In the meantime, let them know that someone else will be tightening your nuts from now on, Barbara.

Dear Car Talk: Can you help me identify what is causing a burning oil smell in my car? We drive a 2011 Subaru Forester X. The engine is leaking oil, and we think it’s dripping down on a sensor, which is causing lights to turn on on the dashboard. How can we fix this? — Mitch You can fix it by pulling out your credit card, putting a pleading look on your face and handing the card to your mechanic, Mitch. In our experience, the most common oil leaks on low-to-moderate mileage Foresters come from the valve cover gaskets. The oil leaks down from there onto the front exhaust pipe, which gets very hot. The instant a drop of oil hits that exhaust pipe, it starts to burn, and produces a very strong smell. That smell wafts into the nearby fresh air vent at the bottom of your windshield, and from there, right into the passenger compartment and up your nostrils, where it causes you to feel lightheaded and seek out brochures for 2019 Subarus. It doesn’t take much oil at all to make a lot of smell. A drop or two will do it. Replacing the valve cover gaskets is not a big deal. It’ll cost you a couple of hundred

bucks at most. Unfortunately, the higher your mileage, the greater the chance that it’s something much worse: the cylinder head gaskets. To replace those gaskets, you have to remove the engine. That’s a job that’ll cost you over $1,000. Maybe way over. So, a test is in order. We start by cleaning the whole area because it’s always an oil-soaked mess. Then we insert a fluorescent dye into the oil. After running the car for a few hours, we shine a black light on the areas that we suspect are leaking. That usually tells us exactly where the leak is coming from. If you’re lucky, and you’ve lived a good, clean life, it’ll be a valve gasket or two. I’ve never seen so much oil leak that it shorted out a sensor. So, if you’ve got dashboard lights coming on, those may be unrelated to the oil leak. Start by figuring out what’s leaking. Then your mechanic can scan the computer and figure out which sensor needs to be replaced. Once you have the full picture of what it’s going to cost to bring this Forester back up to snuff, you can make an informed decision about whether to fix it or grab those 2019 brochures. Good luck, Mitch. Visit Cartalk.com.

FOOD

AT SEAGLASS RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE With an open dining area featuring panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Seaglass Restaurant and Lounge (4 Oceanfront North, Salisbury, Mass., 978462-5800, seaglassoceanside.com) is the perfect setting to enjoy creative seafood menu options. The eatery is adjacent to the Blue Ocean Music Hall in the historic Pavilion complex on Salisbury Beach. Executive Chef Harley Smith, a Seacoast-area native and a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, likes to prove that fresh, local seafood is limitless, with dishes like crab cake sliders with lemon aioli and spiced pineapple chutney; scallop risotto with asparagus and lobster; sesame salmon with sautéed sweet potato fried rice; and a variety of other fresh fish selections with unique spices to choose from. But if you have a hankering for something other than seafood, there are plenty of other options to choose from as well, like filet mignon, braised short rib cavatelli, chimichurri marinated sirloin strip steak, and a selection of burgers, salads and spring protein bowls with a variety of flavor profiles. Smith recently shared some of his personal favorite dishes and some of the new options you’ll find at Seaglass. How long has Seaglass Restaurant and Lounge been around? [We will be] celebrating 10 years this July. [The] owners had an opportunity to buy this … property that is literally over the ocean. Fresh fish and seafood was a natural focus for us due to our oceanfront location and access to some of the best catch. What makes Seaglass Restaurant and Lounge unique? [Our menu is] constantly evolving and changing like the tides. We’re not a onenote restaurant. [You don’t have to] just come here and get fried seafood. We treat every dish with a different profile. [We are] heavily influenced on French, Italian, Pan

Asian and Latin American influences in preparation of our fish and seafood dishes. What is your personal favorite dish? The newest one! Every season we change our [options] to reflect what’s current, what’s trending and what and how people are eating. Right now one of my personal favorites is a dish we’ve been featuring as a special. It’s a honey-lemon glazed salmon with roasted corn, bell pepper, plum tomato, chipotle cream, scallions and spinach and roasted garlic tortellini. It’s a great example of a dish that has many layers of flavor. It hits every note between sweet, spicey, tangy and creamy. Another favorite is our lobster tacos. It’s fresh Maine lobster with avoca-

do, street corn, pico de gallo and chipotle aioli in a grilled flour tortilla. They are enormously popular. What is a dish everyone should try? It depends on your mood. If traditional New England fare is your favorite, our classic New England trio includes a homemade creamy clam chowder, mussels with white wine, garlic and butter sauce, and a Maine lobster roll. Then there’s our bowls — our Tex-Mex bowl is a burst of flavor that’s kind of like a spin on the traditional taco salad. It’s a guest favorite and blends well with fish, chicken or steak on top.

What is an essential skill to running a restaurant? It’s really not just one thing. The ability to adapt, change and create menu items and experience that people want in an atmosphere that is appealing [is important]. What is your favorite part of being on the Seacoast? The proximity of being in a seaside town that is close to farms and not too far from big cities is a real plus. Getting to come to work here every day is a rare opportunity. You get inspired by the ocean and the landscape that surrounds you. — Matt Ingersoll

FOOD

Tasty food from fresh ingredients

Spring soup I always find it very confusing to eat during this time of year. Should I grill or should I be slow roasting things in the oven? It changes daily! My mom made soup the other day that felt perfectly in between. Its blend of spicy sausage and summer vegetables made it absolutely fitting for the blustery spring day we were having. As I stare out at another day just like it, I’m wishing I was eating this soup right now. The chorizo sausage is what makes this soup amazing. When I was younger, my family lived in Madrid for a few years. Because of that, we’re all about the chorizo, which is Spanish sausage of pork, mixed up with garlic and often spicy pimentón. Pimentón is paprika and apparently it can be sweet or spicy. I like a mix of both, I find! Finding good chorizo in New Hampshire can be tricky. Some are too dry or not flavorful enough, so it’s best to try a variety and see what you think.

Guayabera Citra Pale Ale by Cigar City Brewing (Florida) Four or five years ago when I first tried Cigar City’s flagship Jai Alai IPA, it wasn’t exactly mind-blowing, but it was pretty close. Jai Alai has this interesting combination of citrusy hops but also with subtle notes of complex caramel. Weird, I know, but in a really good way. I love pairing the Jai Alai with spicy food and pizza. I want all of those things right now actually. I bring up the Jai Alai because I liked that beer so much that I made it a point to try Cigar City beers whenever I see them. When I saw the Guayabera at Bunny’s, I had to try it, and I’m glad I did. Bursting with citrusy goodness and a very light body, this has just enough hoppy bitterness to balance it out. You can drink this any time but this would be a perfect choice on a hot day when you don’t want a burly double IPA but you still want some hops. That said, this was perfect on a freezing cold night in early March. Doesn’t matter, drink it now.

There are so many amazing craft beers and breweries today across all styles, it gets overwhelming. How are any of us supposed to make a decision? I recently stared longingly into the beer cooler at a local convenience store, just walking back and forth aimlessly going over each shelf of beer — over and over. I was just looking for a single six-pack. I grabbed three different choices from the shelves, each time ultimately changing my mind and putting it back, until I eventually settled on my original selection: Guayabera Citra Pale Ale by Cigar City Brewing I think I bothered at least a couple other customers with my awkward lingering and unconscious mumbling to myself. Did the woman working the register give me the stink eye? No, she didn’t, but who could have blamed her if she had? The point is there are a lot of beer choices these days and that’s a good thing. Sometimes, though, I just admire the guy who strolls in, grabs a 12-pack of Budweiser and leaves, like he was picking up the milk. That guy knows what he wants. Well, today, I’m going to make things easy on you and I’m going to tell you what you want. I’m not trying to tell you what to do as much as I’m just trying to make your life easier. Here goes. Here are three beers you should drink right now:

The Roast Coffee Stout by Henniker Brewing Co. (Henniker) At least once per year I feel the need to remind beer drinkers in New Hampshire that this glorious brew exists and should be enjoyed, savored and cherished. Too strong? I don’t think so. This is like a cup of the best, smoothest and most flavorful coffee you’ve ever had — but in a beer. It’s rich, creamy and delicious, and at 6.5-percent ABV, the alcohol warms you up on a cool night. Simply put, this is one of the best stouts you can find. Period. Really Old Brown Dog by Smuttynose Brewing Co. (Hampton) This is embarrassing. Smuttynose’s Old Brown Dog has been a nostalgic staple brew for me for years. I love its dry, malty, nutty character. But I have never tried its big brother, the Really Old Brown Dog. While the name and the dog on the label are the same (and endearing), this is a completely different animal. (No. Pun. Intended.) This brew is big, rich and fruity. The Really Old Brown Dog is complex and awfully hefty at 11-percent ABV. This is a wonderful slow sipper to enjoy by the fire over the course of a long evening. Jeff Mucciarone is an account manager with Montagne Communications, where he provides communications support to the New Hampshire wine and spirits industry. What’s in My Fridge Morning Glory Espresso Stout by Old Dominion Brewing Co. (Delaware): The espresso gives this a different character than your typical coffee stout. It’s big and rich but the espresso adds complex bitter notes. Cheers!

Seacoast-area students are making a difference through film at the Granite Youth Film Festival, happening Sunday, June 2, and Monday, June 3, at O’Neil Cinemas at Brickyard Square in Epping. The seventh annual film fest is put on by the Granite Youth Alliance, a network of youth groups in eastern Rockingham County headed by the Greater Seacoast United Way. This year there will be 11 films written, directed and produced by teams of middle and high school students. Students were challenged to create short films, targeted at teens, parents of teens and people who work with teens, that provide information or advocate for change in regard to issues affecting their peers and communities. Topics include cyberbullying, mental health, marijuana, addiction and recovery, social isolation, vaping, prescription drug misuse and more. “Every year the topics change,” said Rachel Prest, director of development for the Greater Seacoast United Way. “When the festival started, vaping and e-cigarettes was never a subject that came up, but now it’s a very popular one. It’s interesting to get a sense of what teens nowadays are facing out there and what are the biggest issues they see in their communities.” Half of the films will be shown on Sunday, and the other half will be shown on Monday. At the festival, the students will have a chance to walk the red carpet, take photos and participate in interviews after their films are shown. “They’ll come down and take the microphone, and we ask them different things like how they came up with their topic and how they plan to continue spreading their message,” Prest said. “It’s a great opportunity for them to prac-

tice their public speaking skills, and for the public to hear from these inspiring youth who are doing so much to create change.” Students could choose between four film formats: a three- to five-minute fictional narrative; a three- to five-minute documentary using authentic footage of events, interviews and other forms of research; a one-minute short media message, abbreviated fictional narrative or documentary with high impact; and a PSA, a short media message that is only 30 seconds long. In late February, to receive funding for their films, the teams had to pitch their films to a panel of adult community members, subject matter experts and film experts. The pitches gave an overview of the film topic, storyboards, a production timeline and a proposed budget, as well as the students’ plans for the film outside of the festival. “It’s our goal that they go on to share these films on social media and in schools to continue spreading the word about the issues and create a splash in their community,” Prest said. Once the pitches were over, the panelists gave the teams feedback and informed them if funding for their film was approved. All of the teams that pitched this year received funding. Caitlin Temple, a senior at Newmarket Junior-Senior High School, has been participating in the film festival since she was in seventh grade. This year, her final year, she is a team leader and

the oldest and longest-standing student on the team. Her team’s film, Stop the Stigma, is a five-minute documentary about the stigma surrounding addiction recovery. “We’re asking for help all the time, whether it’s with homework assignments or athletic training, but when it comes to asking for help in recovery, there is a stigma,” she said. “[In the film] we’re looking at why there is a stigma and bringing attention to it, providing resources for people who might be struggling and showing people who know others who are struggling how they can help.” Temple said the festival is an opportunity for students who are advocating for change to learn how to spread their message more effectively. “There are so many media skills and things you don’t think about when you’re just trying to get your message out there,” she said. “Doing it through film adds a whole new layer and takes a lot of thought.” — Angie Sykeny Granite Youth Film Festival When: Sunday, June 2, and Monday, June 3, at 5 p.m. Where: O’Neil Cinemas at Brickyard Square, 24 Calef Highway, Epping Cost: $5 Visit: oneilcinemas.com for tickets and uwgs.org/films for more information about the films

Check out a backpack and head outdoors Libraries are often thought of as an antithesis to the outdoors, providing a sheltered area to exercise the brain but not so much the body. Aware of this perception and looking for change, the Hampton Falls Free Library recently unveiled its new Explorer Backpack program, offering three backpack options full of useful nature materials that can be checked out as easily as a book. Barbara Tosiano, the director of the Hampton Falls Free Library, said she and several Friends of the Library members and trustees heard about similar programs that other libraries were offering at a conference in Manchester, and they thought it would be a great idea to implement something similar in Hampton Falls, especially considering the wildlife the Seacoast has to offer. “It offers people an opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy the beautiful scenery and nature that we have in New England,” Tosiano said. “In New Hampshire, so much of it is so close by, especially here in the Seacoast area, so with the backpacks and the New Hampshire State Parks pass that we are also offering there is no excuse not to get out and enjoy the beautiful sunshine.” The Explorer Backpack program has a total of three backpack varieties to choose from: a coastal exploration pack, a mountain exploration pack and a birding bag. The coastal and mountain backpack are The North Face hiking-style backpacks, while the birding bag is a lighter shoulder bag. Each pack includes binoculars, compasses, maps, trail guides, rain ponchos, first aid kits, emergency whistles, pocket guides to New Hampshire animal tracks (courtesy of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department) and what Tosiano calls the “ever-popular scat chart,” which

she says is a favorite among the kids. One of the more unique details of the Explorer Backpack program is the library’s addition of free New Hampshire State Parks passes that allow library patrons and their families free access to most state wildlife parks (aside from those with restricted access). According to Tosiano, New Hampshire State Parks sent the library an email outlining the opportunity and explaining that they had been offering it for a while, but just hadn’t publicized it all that well. Once Tosiano and the rest of the library staff caught wind of it, they “pretty much all jumped on it,” she said. “[Now] you can get your pass and get your backpack with your binoculars and your compass and your field guides to animals and plants and you are all set,” said Tosiano. The coastal exploration pack offers several Seacoast-specific items for those interested in going out and probing what the beach has to offer. The pack includes Atlantic Seashore by Kenneth L. Gosner, a field guide to “sponges, jellyfish, sea urchins and more”; Exploring Odiorne Point by Julia Steed, a spiral-bound breakdown of the Rye state park; and “Northeastern Seashore Life,” a folding pamphlet-style guide that covers over 140 species of seashore birds, mammals, creatures, seashells, nearshore fish and plants as well as a tidal zone map. The mountain exploration pack includes a southern New Hampshire trail guide, a New Hampshire state parks map, a colorful picture pamphlet of various wildflowers and several other trail guides and maps for hiking that holistically offer “options for family-friendly hikes that don’t require a lot of travel time,” as Judy Wilson Smith, one of the library’s trustees who led the charge in implementing

the Explorer Backpack program, said in the program’s informational video on their website. Finally, the birding bag includes a New Hampshire state parks map and three books and guides to help identify the miscellany of birds that can be found throughout New England. Tosiano believes the lightweight, easy to carry birding bag is great for older people looking to go for a walk and look for birds through the binoculars. While the program hasn’t been overwhelmingly popular yet, Tosiano hopes it will pick up once the weather does, offering free opportunities for local families to explore their surrounding wilderness in the comfortably warm days of summer. For Tosiano, the Explorer Backpack program is another way that the Hampton Falls Free Library can offer more than just a sheltered place to read in silence.

The library also has a telescope that patrons can check out free of charge, and she noted that many libraries are starting to provide items such as bakeware, tools and musical instruments. “Libraries are more than just books,” Tosiano said. “We’re doing a lot more than you would expect. … In an increasingly digital age, where so many people and so many children specifically are in front of their computer games, we’d really like to get people outdoors.” — Caleb Jagoda Know about something fun going on?

POP CULTURE The Book of Dreams, by Nina George (Crown, 383 pages) No one argues that Henri Skinner, a former war correspondent, is a hero in the truest sense of the word. With clarity that only comes from self-work, after years of being an absent father Henri has decided to return home and reach out to his 13-yearold son Sam, whom he hasn’t seen in years. On the way to reconnect with Sam, Henri helps save a drowning girl and is hit by a car immediately after. He goes into a long-term coma. Not what he expected on his journey home. Sam, even though his mother has always told him what a lousy father Henri is, feels compelled to visit his comatose father daily in the hospital — the man who hadn’t been there before and who still is not there as long as he resides on the “veg floor.” The Book of Dreams, written by Nina George, who also wrote The Little Paris Bookshop, is in its truest essence a story about mortality, memories, relationships, and what makes us who we are. We are shown Henri’s dreams and thoughts. We have insight into Sam’s thinking and his ability to interpret information differently (he sees numbers, letters and emotions as colors). Different perspectives on the same situation: “If waking and sleeping and coma aren’t states but places, then my father is currently on a journey between those places. Or worlds. Or zones that get darker and darker, the closer they are to death.” Of course, as if things weren’t messy enough, Henri’s ex-lover, Edwina, also visits the hospital trying to rekindle and express her eternal love to Henri even though she is currently in another relationship. Edwina and Sam create a relationship united in grief over what could have been for Henri and for themselves. And then there is Madelyn, a young coma patient who is also on the same hospital floor. It is a complex cast of characters, but it works. Using hypnotic language, George weaves all these lives together. At times we are privy to dreams and subconscious impressions leaving us a in place that is not quite of this earth. In his coma Henri replays important moments in his life, but this time he takes a different path than the one he originally took. It’s a story about imagining do-overs and being able

to know now what you didn’t know then. Except that none of it really matters, because when you’re in a coma there are no do-overs. Your life is how you lived your life the first and only time around — just like all of us have done. After reading this book, you will never be able to see or hear about a person in a coma again without thinking about this story. In The Book of Dreams we are taught about the different stages of coma and we also learn that you never know which stage a patient is in. Can you they hear you? Do your actions reach through their deep sleep? Do they remember who they are? And perhaps most importantly, do they remember who you are? “I learn to call Henri by his name, repeatedly, because a person’s name is the ‘longest fishing line,’ as Nurse Marion puts it, to reel them back from whichever depths they’re swimming in.” Ultimately The Book of Dreams is a breathtakingly melancholy story about missed and lost chances, but it is also a story of hope. It’s a story about what really makes a family and how people can reach out and affect each other’s lives. You will want to read this book slowly; it’s that profound. You’ll want to reflect on each of the characters’ lives and the decisions they made and continue to make. I guarantee that you will recognize some of life’s missed chances in your own life. This book will make you reflect. Bottom line: Should you read this book? Yes. Feel the life regrets on a visceral level. Think about how decisions made can change a life’s trajectory. And then after you finish the book, recommend it to another who can then recommend it to yet another. I promise you, this book will generate thoughts and discussions on what life means and how actions, like them or not, define who we are. As a final note on this review, I would suggest that you read the postscript by the author before you begin the book. In the postscript George talks about her experiences with the sudden death of her father. It puts much of The Book of Dreams into context and gives the reader a better understanding of how the story came to be. No matter how old we are, the death of a parent forever throws us into a deep pool of what ifs. A gorgeous, stunning, intelligent and impactful book. Highly recommended. A — Wendy E. N. Thomas

Despite diligent intentions, the musical instincts of Back on the Train took over in the making of its new album, Less Talk More Play — fitting given that the threeman band is named after a Phish song. Preparing to bring in horn players to record tracks, they carefully wrote out charts — then promptly cast them off in the studio. “Charting it was a good exercise, something we’d never done before, but they basically did their parts on the fly,” Adam Ward, the group’s singer-songwriter and guitarist, said in a recent phone interview. “We did spend five solid Thursday night rehearsals doing nothing but that, but yeah, OK, we learned something.” An appropriately spirited, carefree vibe permeates all the record, with tight jamming and flourishes from a number of talented guests. Craig Roy contributes stellar harmonica on the boogying standout “Blue Caboose” and many other songs. The one-two punch of brass that opens things — “Going Down” and “Keep it to Myself” — proves that the two and a half years it took to make Less Talk More Play was well worth it. Even so, the time invested creating the new album “honestly probably represents about two months of real work and two years of schedule coordination,” Ward said. “We did all the main tracks in a three-day weekend, and then over the course of those couple of years, started to think about fleshing things out.” The instrumental title song, also reprised at the end, reflects the band’s mood while making the record. “We’d go over all these details and ended up not playing much music, debating one thing or another,” Ward said. “We decided as a band to do less talking and more playing, and that kind of stuck as a title.” Sections of free improvisation are among Ward’s favorites. “We went in with no plan and came out with 20 to 30 minutes of improv, kept the spots that we really liked and threw out the rest,” he said. “I think that that vibe kind of flows through. A couple of my other favorites both have long instrumental breaks that hopefully support the story of the song and aren’t just like a random jam in the middle.” A release show happens May 31 at The Press Room in Portsmouth, the club where Ward and bassist John Dinger began playing as a duo back in 2012, before drummer Ebenezer Hearn joined and they became BotT. Joining the core trio for the night are keyboard player Max Chase, Dave Howland on sax and guitarist Mac Ritchey, expanding the band to a six-piece.

“I feel really spoiled to live here, not only as a musician but also as a fan,” Ward said of the support the band has received leading up to the show, noting that it’s their first time at the venerable venue since it reopened with new renovations last November. “We have a lot of people who I hope will come out of the woodwork. … It’ll be a big crowd hopefully because we haven’t played in town in a while. So it’s not like our 10th show in a two-week period or anything like that.” Less Talk More Play has lots of playing — 15 tracks in all, an anomaly in the singles-centric internet world. Also unique is that crowdsourcing wasn’t involved. “We really funded this from gig money,” Ward said. “Which means no one’s gotten

paid in a while basically. … We spent what the band made, which is pretty awesome.” Now that the album is complete, “I hope people see it as one piece of art,” Ward said. “I hope people feel compelled to listen through to the end, because there is a lot of good stuff. I’m not a fan of records that have three good songs and then the rest of it kind of goes downhill. We definitely put a lot of care into the whole thing.” — Michael Witthaus Back on the Train When: Friday, May 31, 9 p.m. Where: The Press Room, 77 Daniel St., Portsmouth More: backonthetrain.com

BEACH BUM FUN HOROSCOPES By Holly, The Seacoast Area's Leading Astrologer

• Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your search for hope and meaning in life will expire ... right about now. • Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will eventually discover you can’t burn the candle at both ends, in your case because you’re out of matches. • Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The way things are going, you clearly could use a lift — specifically, a face lift. • Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A fantastic and wonderful thing is about to happen to you, or actually to someone who looks very much like you but is far more deserving.

• Aries (March 21-April 19): You will be showered with good luck, which is good because it’s been too long since you last showered. • Taurus (April 20-May 20): A revolutionary idea will come to you in the middle of the night! But in the morning, you will realize the wheel has already been invented.

126601

• Gemini (May 21-June 20): You will find new openings where you never saw them before, especially in your socks. • Cancer (June 21-July 22): Prepare yourself for an unexpected fright, especially if you go shopping for vanities with large built-in mirrors.

• Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s hard to put a price on contentment, but $100,000 would make a nice start. • Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s time you had a fresh outlook on life. You can start by looking the other way. • Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If I could save time in a bottle, I would share some with you — you clearly need hours to catch up on sleep. • Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You will soon get more out of life. Specifically, more headaches.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Persistence

Jennifer G. Hernandez, 58, is nothing if not persistent. On April 22, Hernandez walked through the vehicle gate at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where she was stopped by a police officer. She explained that she had an interview in the complex, but the officer discovered she had no official business there and told her to leave. On May 1, Military Times reported, Hernandez returned, this time in a Lyft vehicle, again asking to see her recruiter. She was issued a written warning and directed to leave. On May 2, she was back (in an Uber this time), telling officers she returned because the recruiter’s “phone was off.” On that day, officers inadvertently kept her North Carolina ID card, so on May 3, she came back to pick it up, and also asked if she could speak to “Agent Penis.” Promising to leave by bus, Hernandez ultimately refused, telling an officer, “Do you really think I’m going to leave?” And that’s when they’d had enough.

But her most grievous crime that evening was “taking a [used] feminine pad from underneath her pants” and throwing it at a health care provider, striking her in the stomach. For that, Castellion was charged with battery and held on $7,000 bond. • Shonta Bolds, 36, was arrested on May 11 and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after she threw a coconut at a man who was sitting on the porch of the VIP Gentleman’s Club in Key West, Florida.
