INSIDE: MUSIC AT HAMPTON'S SEA SHELL STAGE
SEACOAST SCENE | JUNE 17 - 23, 2021 | PAGE 2
A WORD FROM LARRY
Fireworks on hold The fireworks that were supposed to start at Hampton Beach this month are on hold thanks to piping plovers, a federally protected species of shoreline bird that nests on Hampton Beach every year. They have laid eggs once again near Bernie's Beach Larry Marsolais Bar as well as on the dunes. These eggs hatched in early June. Piping plovers produce tiny chicks that take up to 30 days to become mature, at which time they can fly. Until that time, there will be no fireworks on the beach. Hampton beach officials have explored and exhausted all other options, but do not have any choice but to cancel the first two scheduled fireworks. These include June 19 (which would
have been a celebration of the Sand Sculpting Competition) and June 23. They will update if there are any additional cancellations. I went to their Facebook page and this is what they said, “We hope you understand that we are just as disappointed as you might be. However, this is out of our control (and it is a Federal Crime to harass, threaten or harm them or disturb them in any way). We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience and we hope they mature quickly so we can put on all of our events without any further worries.” I also want to remind everyone that Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 20, so make your dad feel special. Happy Fathers Day! Larry Marsolais is the current president of the Hampton Rotary Club.

the one about... Jokes from local comedians, and where to see them perform said, ‘If you have a gambling problem, call Carolyn Riley 1-800-GAMBLER.’ So I called and said, ‘Yes, Voted Boston’s Funniest a couple of years I have a gambling problem. I have an ace and a back, the rising star comic lives in New What’s a good joke? There are puns like “when chemists die, six and the dealer is showing a seven.’” York City but returns home for shows every they barium,” and absurdities along the lines now and then. Here are a couple of her own (He said his favorite is a Willie Nelson joke favorites: of “I’m reading a book about anti-gravity, and I can’t put it down.” Comedian Amy Tee has whose punchline is, ‘I’m not Willie Nelson.’) an opening line to disarm crowds wondering I got a girl so mad at me once she said, To hear the rest of this NSFW bit, check him ‘OK, New Hampshire’ like it was a slur. I was about her androgynous appearance: “You’re probably wondering what bathroom I’m going out at Kooks Café and Beach Bar in Rye on like, ‘B*tch, don’t make me kayak through to use,” she says. “It’ll be the one with the June 17, Cellos in Candia on June 19, The this babbling brook and smack you with my Grog in Newburyport, Mass., on June 23 and paddle!’ shortest line, I guarantee you that.” We asked a gaggle (or is that a giggle?) of The Rex in Manchester on July 23. Check regional comics for their favorite jokes.

I said, ‘Is that in their sets to “street jokes” that float in the August (jimmydunn.com). a wedding ring?’ He said, ‘No, no, this is my comedic ether.

And from Matt Donaher, a Hudson native now working in Los Angeles whom Riley cites as ‘the first comic that made me want to do stand-up when I saw him in high school,’ there’s this one: I got run over by a stretch limo ... took forever. Riley opens for Corey Rodrigues at Laugh Boston on June 18 and June 19, and appears at The Grog in Newburyport, Mass., on June 23 with Jimmy Dunn and Dave Rattigan. She’s also at Kooks in Rye Beach with Jimmy Dunn and Friends on June 24.

Barry said he usually opens his sets with Rattigan likes this one from novelist and this one: Conan writer Brian Kiley: I did a show at a VFW recently. Half the There’s always one teacher you had a crush crowd was dudes who looked just like my dad, on; for me, it’s my wife’s aerobics instructor. and the other half of the crowd was women who looked just like my dad. And here’s a Carlin favorite: Barry said, “I draw a ton of inspiration from Think of how stupid the average person is the late great Mitch Hedberg, which is obvious and realize half of them are stupider than that. when you see my act,” and points to these two favorite Hedberg one-liners: He cites this gem from fellow New England comic Paul Gilligan: I don’t have a girlfriend, but I do know a woman who would be mad that I said that Plumbers are expensive. You come home and see a plumber’s van in front of your house and and think, ‘I hope he’s [having an affair] with my wife.’ Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus, or just a really cool oppotamus? Rattigan is a regular at The Winner’s Circle in Salisbury, Mass., during Tuesday open mic But Barry said his “absolute favorite joke night, frequently hosting. He’ll be at Steve’s of all time” is one called The Dufrenes from Pinehurst in Billerica on Saturday, June 19, Hedberg: and The Grog in Newburyport on Wednesday, June 23, with Jimmy Dunn and Carolyn Riley. When you’re waiting for a table at a restaurant, the host will call out ‘Dufrene, party of Carolyn Plummer two.

PEOPLE AND PLACES
Rainy day fun Matt Yosca, owner of MetroRock in Newburyport, talks about why indoor rock climbing is a fun activity for a rainy day. How long have you been open and what do you offer? We opened in 2006 as the second MetoRock location. Now we’ve got six gyms in Massachusetts, Vermont and New York City. We are a rock climbing gym with bouldering, top-roping, autobelays, and general fitness. We have classes and programs for all ages and ability levels. What is your target audience in terms of business? Families, kids, both? The facility was built as a training ground for climbers back when it was more of a niche sport. Since then, climbing has become very popular, and that’s reflected in our client base. We’ve always had kid-friendly terrain, but the focus was on adults until the last five years, when the market shifted toward families. This has been tough to handle as we’ll have a few dozen kids in our youth programs in the gym in the after-school hours, joined by the adult members coming in to do their workouts in the evening. It’s been a trick to do it, but we’ve adapted the physical space in a way that lets everyone get what they want without getting too much in each other’s way. What are you expecting in terms of business this summer? Hopefully, a continued return to normalcy. Vaccines are making a difference in the world at large, and we’re hoping to ride that wave. We’ll be running
day camps again this year as we did last year, but hopefully we can increase the numbers safely from the severe restrictions in 2020. Ideally, things will improve to a point where climbers can feel more comfortable inside and we can get back to pre-Covid numbers. Most importantly, we look forward to the day when we can go next door to the Riverwalk Brewery Taproom and resume our monthly members’ happy hour! Any fun facts or stories to share about yourself or your business? Thanks to solar panels on the roof and a wind turbine in the yard, the building we’re in produces more energy than it uses. — Rob Levey

CAR TALK
Get a full and complete answer when asking for oil blends Dear Car Talk: I really like the way you support us older gals who have to deal with car repair issues in a maledominated industry. My question concerns how to keep my 2005 Ford ExpeBy Ray Magliozzi dition, with 160,000 miles on it, running at its best well into old age. My usual oil-change place has recommended synthetic oil for quite a while, and I assumed that was best for an older vehicle, even though it’s more expensive. However, I recently tried out the Ford dealer’s “Quick Lane” oil-change option and asked for synthetic oil. They told me that they use a blend of synthetic and regular oil, and the bill was surprisingly low. This made me worry that in exchange for a lower price, I was shortchanging my vehicle by using mostly regular oil (since I didn’t ask how much synthetic is in the “blend”). When I asked about it, I was basically given the “don’t worry about it, little lady” response. That’s when I decided to write to Car Talk, who never talks down to us “little ladies”! Should I stick with the synthetic oil or save a few bucks? — Cowgirl Sue Stick with the full synthetic oil, Sue. Synthetic oils outperform traditional oils in pretty much every performance category – including
SEACOAST SCENE | JUNE 17 - 23, 2021 | PAGE 8
the all-important areas of viscosity and fluidity at colder temperatures. And while they cost more, they not only perform better and offer better protection to your engine, they also last longer, so you change your oil less often. So if you’re interested in such things, you’ll also be disposing of less waste oil, which is better for the environment. If you had asked the Quick Lane guy to tell you how much synthetic oil is in the blend they use, he’d probably have no idea. “Don’t worry about it, little lady” is your clue that he doesn’t know. Oils are not required to list their ingredients on the side of the container like salad dressings. So you’re right to suspect that a low price probably means less of the good stuff. So unless the Quick Lane offers a genuine, full synthetic oil as an extra cost option, I’d go back to your old guy and keep using the synthetic. That’ll give you the best chance of keeping your Expedition running well into old age – its old age and yours. Dear Car Talk: I have a car problem. A serious car problem. I’m 36 and bought my 26th “new to me” car. I guess I like change. I just picked up this pristine, one-owner 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser with 25,000 miles that lived outside in New-
port News, Virginia. The body is fantastic, and the underside is pretty good. But there is some surface rust on the frame. How can I properly remove and repair it? I drove it back to Colorado, where my wifey says it’s my last car ever, and I feel the same way. I thought about using a wire brush and some Rust-Oleum type product and calling it a day. They don’t use salt on the roads here in Colorado, so I won’t be aggravating it. Thank you in advance. — David Unless you have a family history of having grand pianos fall on you by age 45, I doubt this is going to be your last car ever, David. And if you don’t take care of this rust on the frame, it might not even be your last car of this decade. Unfortunately, Toyota has had problems with rusty frames on some of their trucks. Most famously, they agreed to repair or replace the rusted frames of earlier Tacoma pickup trucks. And there’s a class action lawsuit to get them to do the same by owners of some Toyota 4Runners. Like those vehicles, the FJ is a Toyota bodyon-frame design. And we’ve seen a number of complaints about frames rusting prematurely on FJ Cruisers, too. Driving in Colorado, where salt is used very sparingly, will help. But the vehicle did spend its formative years on the East Coast, where the roads are practically sponsored by Morton. In
addition, if the underside was scraped up from off-road driving, that could allow rust to take hold, too. So you need to get this frame professionally evaluated. I’d do some research and look for an autobody shop in your area that really seems to understand rust repair and rust prevention. Have them look over the frame and figure out how “surface” your rust really is. If it’s just surface rust, it can be cleaned off and the frame can then be repainted and treated with a rust preventative. You’ll still have to keep an eye on it over the years and be careful to keep any serious rust from taking hold on the frame. But if the rust is already more than skin deep, then I would recommend “reverting to form,” David. That is, embracing your love of change. Drive the FJ until you’re sick of it and you realize you hate not being able to see out the sides or the back of this thing. And then sell it and let the next owner fix the rust. Based on your history, I predict you’ll be sick of it in about nine months. By then, I predict you’ll be breathing heavily over a new Ford Bronco anyway. You’ll have some ‘splainin to do to your wife, David. But honestly, there’s no way she can claim to be surprised. Visit Cartalk.com

AT FLAMINGOS COFFEE BAR Just steps away from the beach, Flamingos Coffee Bar (27 B St., Hampton, 910-5647, flamingoscoffeebar.com) is a new spot for specialty crafted coffees, espresso drinks and locally sourced breakfast sandwiches and baked goods. Owner and founder MacKenzie Logan of Hampton Falls said she came across the vacant space on the corner of B Street and Ashworth Avenue late last year, deciding to “take the plunge” after realizing its size and location were both perfect for a coffee bar. Its name and concept were inspired by the design of other coffee shops she has visited in seaside cities like San Diego and Miami — a “beach vibe” featuring bright, vibrant colors. Coffees are available both hot or iced, with beans sourced from South America and Rwanda, Africa, and roasted at Flight Coffee Co. in Bedford. There is also a full line of espresso drinks, as well as regular or nitro cold brew on tap, smoothies and a rotating selection of craft beers. Foods include breakfast and lunch sandwiches, vegan craft doughnuts, bagels and banana breads, all of which are sourced locally. The Scene recently caught up with Logan to talk about Flamingos Coffee Bar and some of her personal favorite options. How long has Flamingos Coffee Bar been around? Memorial Day weekend was our grand opening. I actually signed the papers for this place on New Year’s Eve, and then we started renovations right away.

There’s nothing quite like a warm cookie, fresh from the oven. They’re one of my favorite sweet treats. Although I usually try to avoid the oven as much as possible in the heat of summer, cookies are a reason to skip that rule. These cookies, in my opinion, are an upgrade to your typical chocolate chip cookie and well worth using the oven, even on a hot summer day. They deliver on many of the things that I enjoy in a treat. First, they are made with milk chocolate chips, which give a nice amount of sweetness and add some creaminess to the texture (especially when eaten warm). Second, they have another layer of sweetness and a bit of chewiness from the coconut. Third, they have savory notes and a good amount of crunch from the almonds. You have sweet, savory, chewy and crunchy — is there a better combination possible in a cookie? While I’m a huge fan of warm cookies, they also are quite delicious served at room temperature or chilled. For a really warm summer day, store these cookies in a sealed container in the refrigerator. When you need a cool down, take one out of the fridge and enjoy a chilled sweet treat.

Last year, I bought a riding lawn mower. My wife said I could, so I did. I bought a used one because I’m thrifty. First, the battery needed to be replaced. Then the mower deck wouldn’t stay level. Fast forward to this spring and it was leaking gas, which, you know, seems troublesome. I took it to the mechanic and a few days later he called me and said, “You buy this used?” I answered in the affirmative. He said, “You know this engine isn’t even meant for this machine?” I did not know that but he fixed it as best he could and wrote in big capital letters on the receipt: “Not guaranteed for anything.” I’m feeling really good about the whole situation. Right now, it’s sitting in the front lawn, where it currently won’t start, again. What I’m trying to say is, this machine has made me drink a few beers recently. After our most recent fight, I grabbed an Export American Golden Ale by Shipyard Brewing Co. I needed something light that I didn’t need to think about in the moment. I read “golden ale” and my first thought was that this is going to be just a light Pilsner, but this has a lot more malt character than I was expecting. It features a little sweetness and a touch of richness that gives this brew character. By the way, this is hardly a new brew; it’s Shipyard’s flagship brew, first introduced in 1992. This is definitely a good yard work beer, regardless of your lawn mowing situation. Here are a few more beers that have recently helped me through these tough times. Hoponius Union Hoppy Lager by Jack’s Abby Craft Lagers (Framingham, Mass.) It’s not an IPA but it’s awfully similar. Unlike a traditional IPA, this is fermented cold and aged for extended periods. As the brewery says, this combines West Coast IPA hops and lager yeast fermentation. The result is a tremendous all-around beer that features huge

Not too many craft brewers are offering Belgian-style Tripels these days, instead focusing on expanding and experimenting with the IPA style. It’s all about consumer demand, we get it. There’s something about the style I’ve always enjoyed: flavorful, complex and approachable, despite loads of alcohol. With that in mind, it caught my eye to see Granite Roots Brewing in Troy offering its Face Plant Into Rock Belgian Tripel, which features a “clean malt flavor, slight bitterness and a touch of coriander to finish dry...,” according to the brewery. This is one I’ll be trying to track down.

citrus aroma, lots of tropical hop flavor and a clean, dry finish. This is a longtime favorite of mine.
Winni Ale by 603 Brewery (Londonderry) The brewery says this one is still its topselling beer, which is a testament to the brew considering today’s hop-crazed beer culture. This is a rich amber ale that features a little sweetness but finishes with a little burst of citrus hops. Honestly, it reminds me a lot of the Shipyard Export Golden Ale.
Pale Ale by Newburyport Brewing Co. (Newburyport, Mass.) Call it what you want but to me this is just a toned down IPA and, man, sometimes that’s just perfect. It’s crisp, bright, refreshing and not too hoppy, but it still has plenty of citrusy hop character. When you’ve spent the day toiling in the yard with finicky small engines, this is a perfectly drinkable choice to help reward your efforts and patience. You’re going to want to have a few of these.

What’s in My Fridge IPA by Stoneface Brewing Co. (Newington) This is one that I just keep coming back to. It’s bright and hoppy, boasting big dry hop flavor and aromas. There is something comforting about this just being labeled “IPA,” too. It is what it is, and what it is is a great, all-around IPA. Cheers!

BOOK REVIEW
Overloaded, by Ginny Smith (Bloomsbury, 325 pages)
134001
133704
Science writer Ginny Smith’s Overloaded, while not the most sparkling prose you’ll read this year, does a yeoman’s job at explaining, in understandable language, the workings of the brain and what controls it. Mindfulness has its place, but in fact, our thoughts, emotions and memories are the sum of what Smith calls “a turbulent sea of neurotransmitters.” And sea is not just a figure of speech. “It seems to me that the answer lies not in the wiring of our brains, but in the chemicals that bathe them,” Smith writes. Smith starts by assuming that we have forgotten everything we learned in high school and teaching a sort of CliffsNotes class in Neurology 101: the differences between sensory and motor neurons, the duties of the synapse, how electrical signals flow. Along the way, like a good professor, she introduces some interesting people, such as Luigi Galvani, the Italian scientist who figured out how to make the legs of dead frogs twitch (inspiration for Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein), and two European scientists who shared the Nobel Prize in 2006 even though each disagreed with the other’s work. (Nice to know that even Nobel Prize winners can bicker like crows.) From there Smith delves into eight typical areas of interest regarding the brain: memories, motivation, mood swings and fear, sleep, hunger and satiation, decisionmaking, love and attraction, and pain. In the chapter on memory she darts from treatments for PTSD to imprinting in ducklings to the long-term effects on the neglected children in Romanian orphanages. It’s a skillfully woven collection of stories, but unfortunately, offers no significant or surprising information on how to maintain our own memory. The chapter on motivation delves into research on primates and mice and does a good job of explaining how dopamine works and why its effects decline over time. Again, however, the chapter held more promise than it delivered. Any reallife application might have to do with drug or alcohol withdrawal, not how to get motivated to exercise or clean the house. By “Mood Swings and Scary Things,” I’m on to the pattern. Smith dangles an interesting topic in front of me — sharks! — and then swims away. After a quick dip in the mechanics of the fear response, she’s suddenly musing about the moods of a childhood tortoiseshell cat. And on it goes.
By the time we come to sleep, which Smith considers the brain’s greatest mystery, I’ve given up on getting any practical application for my life, and I’m only here for the anecdotes. Admittedly, they are good, such as the story of a strange illness that spread throughout Vienna in 1916 and came to be known simply as “sleepy sickness.” (People would feel generally unwell at the start, and then, as the illness progressed, spend more and more time asleep. Eventually they fell into a coma and died, basically sleeping themselves to death.) The illness killed about one million people over 10 years and eventually disappeared, and there still is no consensus on the cause, although it must have had something to do with hypothalamus, which is the part of the brain that controls sleepiness and wakefulness. Here, too, we finally get to Alzheimer’s disease, and theories about sleep deprivation might be connected, since during sleep, a sort of rinse cycle of the brain sweeps out waste that is believed to be involved in the development of dementia. By now we know that in “Food for Thought” we’re not going to get any dieting tips. In fact, unhelpfully, Smith even writes, “There is currently only one really effective treatment for obesity: bariatric (or weight loss) surgery.” Also, she confides that when she is quite reasonably attracted to the pastry tray at a breakfast buffet, she deals with temptation by: filling her plate with fruit and yogurt. At this point, she reveals herself to be some freak of nature, sort of like the aliens in suits in Men in Black, so she has diminished cred in the ensuing discussion on eating disorders. Finally, you’ve probably heard of St. Elmo’s fire, but how about St. Anthony’s fire? That’s another strange disease, this time in medieval France, in which poor people were afflicted with severe pain in the extremities. (Eat the rich — they never got it.) It turns out that the people were getting sick from a fungus that grew in the rye used in bread and beer. Even stranger, this discovery eventually led to a substance that is much more familiar today — oxytocin. Overloaded suffers from an overload of English spelling (Smith teaches at the University of Cambridge), an overload of the author’s personal anecdotes and, most egregiously, an overload of exclamation marks. It won’t be the best book you read this year; in fact, let’s hope it’s the worst. But it’s a serviceable summer read for the intellectually curious. C — Jennifer Graham
FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway
Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway (PG)
Peter Rabbit and friends get up to more mischief while their human caretakers are just as weird as ever in Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, a live-action movie filled with animated animals.
Bea (Rose Byrne), the painter who acts as a gentle and forgiving surrogate mother to a bunch of animals living in the country including Peter Rabbit (voice of James Corden), marries Thomas McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson), the slightly unhinged nephew of the late, grumpy Mr. McGregor of “Mr. McGregor’s garden/rabbit-pie-maker” fame. After a tothe-near-death battle during the last movie, McGregor and Peter have made peace, even if Peter imagines giving Thomas a few rabbit feet to the face at the idea of his being Peter’s new father figure and Thomas keeps mentioning to Bea how nice it would be to have some human children. Thomas is nevertheless supportive of their animal-filled life and is even helping Bea selfpublish her book about Peter and his siblings — Flopsy (voice of Margot Robbie), Mopsy (voice of Elizabeth Debicki) and Cottontail (voice of Aimee Horne) — and his cousin Benjamin Bunny (voice of Colin Moody). Peter enjoys the fame that comes with being the star of a locally beloved children’s book but he’s not so sure how he feels about being called the naughty or mischievous one. And when big-time publisher Nigel Basil-Jones (David Oyelowo) says Bea’s books could be bestsellers but might she consider painting Peter as more of a Bad Seed, Peter becomes even more uncomfortable with how he’s perceived. While Bea is initially concerned that her bunnyverse will become fodder for some hipped up movie made by an American director (one of this movie’s many winks at itself), she eventually follows Nigel’s suggestions to put the bunnies into more bankable clothes (jeans, high tops) and adventures (space). After all, his other client, who wrote a children’s book about a butterfly, is doing great with his amped up skateboarding butterfly books. Bea’s willing-
ness to compromise isn’t all about earning herself a publishing-house-gifted sports car; she also wants to use the money to preserve even more land for her animals to frolic in, with said frolicking demonstrated by Thomas in a scene that really helps to highlight what a delightful oddball his character is. Honestly, I could watch a whole movie just about the tightly wound but deeply in love and approval-seeking Thomas and the earnest but kooky Bea. Gleeson and Byrne have great weirdo chemistry and they are both fun characters in their own right. Of course, this is a movie for kids, so we get bits of these people, probably as a little treat to me and the other adults bringing their kids to this movie, sprinkled in all the animal hijinks. And those are fine too. I feel like the 2018 Peter Rabbit had more murder in everyone’s hearts — Peter and friends trying to kill the new McGregor, McGregor trying to rid his garden of all the animals. Here, it’s more about everyone adjusting to each other or figuring out their roles in this new circumstance. What this means for the movie is more cartoony silliness but less threat of actual harm, which makes the movie more fun overall. My older elementary-school-aged kid had a good time with the movie and laughed out loud several times — as did I, and occasionally we both laughed at the same parts. During a trip to the city, Peter meets a rabbit who is even more of a grifter named Barnabas (voice of Lennie James). This sets in motion a whole heist sequence that is fun and keeps the energy up in the movie’s second half. I think Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway improved on the first movie, making this definitely-for-kids property more parent-friendly and easily enjoyable. B Rated PG for some rude humor and action, according to the MPA on filmratings.com. Directed by Will Gluck with a screenplay by Will Gluck and Patrick Burleigh (based on the stories and characters from Beatrix Potter’s books), Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway is an hour and 33 minutes long and distributed by Columbia Pictures. It is currently in theaters.

Live music returns to the main stage at Hampton Beach this summer, with nightly shows at the Sea Shell Stage featuring new acts and old favorites. “On May 1, we didn’t think we could do anything, so to be where we are now is incredible,” said Glen French, music coordinator for Hampton Beach Village District. This year’s more normal schedule is in stark contrast to last year’s. “Last year we did the concerts on the south patio and used the sand as a seating area,” he said. “The problem was that it didn’t have any covering so we were subjected to rain, high winds and the possibility of damaging equipment.” Along with its return to the main stage, this summer’s series features a wide range of music. “We have some new faces and some oldies and goodies, like The Continentals and The Reminisants,” said Lisa Martineau, comarketing director for the Hampton Beach Village District. New acts include Rodney Atkins, a national recording artist from Nashville who will perform during their three-day Country Music Fest On The Coast, and Scott Brown and the Diplomats. Brown is a former U.S. senator for Massachusetts and also 2014 Republican nominee for U.S. Senate from New Hampshire. “Ayla Brown, his daughter, will be performing, too,” added French. “She has a following and was on American Idol.” Other entertainment highlights include Little Big Shots, Neurotic Gumbo, a Louisiana-style swing jazz band, Apathetics, and Mark Shelton, an Elvis impersonator inducted in the Elvis Presley Hall of Fame. “We are planning for a pretty good crowd,” French said. “Everyone is gearing up toward it, and the businesses are anxious about getting back to some level of normal, whatever that may be. We’re taking baby steps but planning for good.” Fireworks will eventually cap off the entertainment on Wednesdays, although they will start in a few weeks due to the nearby activities of piping plovers, a federally protected species of shoreline bird. “They have nested once again in an area where we do the fireworks so we can’t have fireworks on a couple of dates because we can’t disturb them,” Martineau said. - Rob Levey 2021 shows Sea Shell Stage Nightly Shows will run June 11 to Sept. 6.

BEACH BUM FUN HOROSCOPES All quotes are from Magic by the Lake, by Edward Eager, born June 20, 1911. Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Mark … didn’t know what to wish, and he couldn’t unwish, and at any moment the time might stop being ripe. One ripe time begets another. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) Of course, he knew perfectly well that eavesdropping is wrong … but by the time he thought of this he’d already heard so much he decided it would be embarrassing. And besides, he wasn’t dropping from the eaves; he was lying obediently in his own bed, and if people would come talking right by an open window right next to him, he couldn’t help that, could he? And besides, it was interesting. You may hear interesting things. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) The next morning after breakfast (and after bedmaking, dishwashing, and other dull details, but I prefer not to mention them, as who wouldn’t?), the four children went down to the shore. Chores first, and then fun! Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) But two hours in a model-T Ford with those you love best and their luggage is enough to try the patience of a saint, and the four children, while bright and often quite agreeable, were not saints. Go for agreeable.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20) “Will we like many a more classic heroine before see you again?” Jane called. “Not if I see her, chose this moment to sneeze. The Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) You all know you first,” were the parting words of the pirates jumped. So did the four children. what going swimming is like, and it is even turtle.

If the lake won’t come to you, maybe you can go to the lake. SUDOKU Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) “The only way I know to straighten out a mess like Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the this,” [the turtle] said, “is to go back to digits 1 through 9. Answers will appear in next week's paper. the beginning and start over.” You might only need to go back like halfway. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) ‘You heard me,’ said the turtle. ‘I didn’t know you could talk,’ said Katharine. ‘Well, now you know,’ said the turtle. Now you know! Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) … but then there is nothing so boring as birdwatching, except to those people to whom it isn’t boring at all. You will find an exciting new hobby. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) ‘Ha!’ said the turtle. ‘That’s what you think. And a lot you know about it. But of course you couldn’t be sensible, could you, and order 6/10 magic by the pound, for instance, or by the day?’ Do what makes sense to you. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) ‘You mean it’s really over?’ said Katharine. ‘I don’t believe it. … Why, we didn’t learn a moral lesson, or anything! ...’ Or you did but you haven’t noticed yet.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
Right under your nose
A woman known only as Sajitha from Kerala, India, disappeared in 2010, when she was just 18 years old, reported Newsweek. But about three months ago, the mystery of her disappearance began to come to light. Sajitha had left her home 11 years ago and walked just 1,600 feet to the home of her neighbor, Alinchuvattil Rahman, who at the time was 24 years old. Reportedly, the couple believed their romantic relationship was threatened by their differing religions, so Rahman settled her in a locked spare bedroom in his parents’ home, where she spent the next decade watching a small TV using headphones. Rahman’s brother, Basheer, said Rahman was intensely secretive about the room and kept it locked at all times; his bad temper discouraged his family from asking about what was going on. “During the day, as everyone was at work, Rahman and Sajitha would have the house to themselves,” Basheer said. The room had no bathroom; Sajitha would crawl out a window at night to relieve herself. This spring, Sajitha left the home and Rahman followed shortly after; his family reported him missing, but Basheer “spotted Rahman by chance” in another village, where he and his beloved set up their new home.
sance,” according to The Independent. And for the Spring 2022 season, Crocs are getting a crossover boost from luxury fashion house Balenciaga: New models feature a stiletto heel (which looks more like a Lego piece) under the traditional green or black perforated upper. The new model may cost as much as $1,000, but social media isn’t on board. One tweet called them “an actual nightmare,” and another commenter said she is “irrationally angry.” • If the high-heeled Crocs aren’t enough for you, look into this accessory: the Mundstuck, made by MYL Berlin. “Mundstuck” means “mouthpiece”; this high-style one fits over the bottom lip and decorates the chin, Oddity Central reported on June 7. MYL Berlin calls it “structured, chic and daring. ... It nestles perfectly on your lip without applying pressure or hindering your mobility.” The stainless steel Mundstuck comes in black, gold or silver and in three different designs. Prices range from $75 to $140.
Weird animals
• In Victoria, British Columbia, photographer Tony Austin was out for a nature walk on May 31 when he ran across an inexplicable sight: A murder of crows had landed close by, and one was sort of flopping around in the dirt. “It would sort Weird fashion • Crocs went on sale less than 20 years ago, of ... hop into the air and ... then hop back onto but they’re already experiencing a “renais- the gravel,” Austin said. As Austin grew nearer,
he saw that the bird was covered with ants. He was concerned for the bird’s welfare, but when he posted a picture on a Facebook page for bird enthusiasts, he was relieved, NPR reported. The crow was “anting” — spreading ants on its feathers and wings. Experts aren’t clear about why birds do this; it may be related to cleanliness or to share the ants’ defensive secretions of fungicides, miticides and insecticides. • The Independent reported on May 13 that a new BBC documentary has revealed that dolphins chew on and pass around puffer fish in an apparent effort to get “high.” Puffer fish release a nerve toxin when provoked; large doses of it can be deadly, but small amounts can produce a narcotic effect. Dolphins, having partaken of just the right amount, appear to enter a trancelike state. Rob Pilley, a zoologist who worked as a producer on the series, said the dolphins “began acting most peculiarly, hanging around with their noses at the surface as if fascinated by their own reflection. It was the most extraordinary thing to see.”
The entrepreneurial spirit
Small businesses have had to be creative in the wake of the pandemic, as demonstrated by Club Pro Adult Entertainment in Toronto, Ontario. The Toronto Sun reported that shutdowns nearly destroyed the strip club — until owner Teresa Marciano and her staff came up
with another idea. “Since we couldn’t operate as a restaurant, the only thing we wanted to do was something outdoors,” Marciano said. “Most of our staff and managers love golf, so we tried to marry both industries together.” The new venture, Stiff Shafts, turns the former club’s parking lot into a driving range where golfers can aim their shots at caricatures of prominent politicians. Bartenders and waitstaff will return to provide food and drink to customers, and the dancers will be caddies. The Marcianos hope to open on June 14.
Precocious
Two West Jordan, Utah, sisters, 9 and 4 years old, set out before dawn on June 2 with California beaches in their sights, Fox News reported. Unfortunately, the 9-year-old was driving, and things didn’t go as planned. Just several miles away from home, the little driver veered into oncoming traffic, slamming into a semi-truck. Both girls were wearing seatbelts, and no one was hurt. Their parents were unaware of the joyride until police called them after the accident. “I guess they were intending to start their summer vacation a little early,” remarked West Valley police spokesperson Roxeanne Vainuku. Lt. Sean McCarthy added, “I don’t know that we’ll tell them they were going the wrong way” to reach California. Visit newsoftheweird.com.
