A WORD FROM LARRY
Master McGrath’s
Happy Fourth of July! A little history I found out about the Fourth of July — also known as Independence Day or July 4 — is that it has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Larry Marsolais Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. Three U.S. presidents actually died on July 4: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, who both died on July 4, 1826, four hours apart, and James Monroe, who died on July 4, 1831. From 1776 to the present day, July 4 has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with fes-

Beach Reads Recommendations for your summer reading
by Caleb Jagoda
If you’re looking for a book to read this summer but can’t seem to find the right one, don’t fret. We asked local libraries and bookstore staff to recommend some of their favorite reads, and they came up with around 40 titles ranging from an autobiography about the author’s experience as both a therapist and a patient to a children’s picture book about grandma giving you a lemon tree and everything in between. Time to get reading!

Recommended by: Joanna, Library Assistant at Hampton Falls Free Library. “A topically current theme and compelling read that can be read by young adults and adults alike.

tant Director and Head of Teen Services at Lane Memorial Library in Hampton. “Lyrical, throat-grabbing, mournful and intense. It will fill you with rage and bring you to tears. I could not stop listening to this novel on audiobook. It was easy to get lost in the narrative and I loved each tree’s description. It was at once a reaffirmation of my high regard for nature and a reminder of what we will destroy if we do nothing to protect it.” Tom Holbrook, manager at RiverRun Bookstore. “A nuanced look at the role of trees in our life and our history. It sounds dry, but is anything but.”

ADVENTURE
Around the Coast with Caleb
By Caleb Jagoda Where I went: NH1 Motorplex at the Seacoast Shopping Center, 270 Lafayette Road, Seabrook, nh1motorplex.com, 814-1448. What it is: An electric go-kart racing facility (the only one in New Hampshire!) of 49,000 square feet that features a quarter-mile track, two party rooms and an arcade. They offer ahead-of-time reservation racing and arrive-and-drive racing, with one arrive-and-drive race costing $20, two races costing $35, three costing $47, four costing $60 and five costing $75. What I did: I am by no means an adrenaline junkie. When I say this, I really mean it. My whole life thus far, I have somehow escaped going on a real rollercoaster (not counting summer carnival rides, but I hate those, too), I am not a huge fan of heights and I prefer to drive at a reasonable speed while on the roads. With this being said, go-karting is fun. It’s not really something you do for the rush — you just do it for a good time with friends. Going into my ride at NH1, I knew these karts could fly. While I was slightly nervous, I figured it would be OK, as I wasn’t going to be skydiving or bull fighting or going on a rollercoaster (which my friends are trying to get me to do this summer, but I’m going to avoid it at all costs). And let me say, while this wasn’t an adrenaline-bursting, spine-tingling experience, it was really fast and really fun. I walked into NH1 and was greeted by Eli Knowles, the crew chief and head cashier at NH1 Motorplex. There wasn’t a soul in sight aside from NH1’s workers. Eli explained to me that on a Wednesday at 2 p.m. (which is when I went), the place is understandably dead; the kids were still in school and parents are at work. Fridays and Saturdays, he said, get crazy busy, and they often become completely booked through the weekend. Once the awkwardness of being the only person in there wore off, I realized how much fun it would be that I was the only person racing. I probably would’ve
preferred being in a race, but beggars can’t be choosers, and ripping across an indoor racetrack by yourself at 2 p.m. on a Wednesday in June is pretty fun, too. Eli gave me the rundown: the karts are completely electric and can go up to 45 mph (the junior karts can go up to 25 mph). He explained how they wave the green flag at the go, the white flag one lap before your last lap and the checkered flag for your last lap (it was pretty funny that they waved the flags for just me, but I really did get the full experience, race or no race). Eli gave me my head sock to wear under my red, medium-sized helmet (which I avoided putting on until I absolutely had to so I wasn’t conversing with another human with a sock over my head) and showed me my steed: an electric-blue (fitting) OTL kart. I boarded the beaut, Eli waved the green flag and I was off; man and vehicle, brought together inside a 49,000-square-foot room inside a shopping center. I jammed my foot on the gas to see what she had, and it was almost nothing. I went about 4 mph for about 10 seconds, and I was shocked. This was supposed to be the real deal. This was supposed to be the only electric kart in New England. And then, when the kart realized it was on the racetrack and not the boarding area, it took off. I mean, it really took off. Once I got control of the blue beast, I began understanding how fast it could really go. I only got near top speed twice, and as I zoomed across the empty twists and turns of the racetrack, I about crashed

into the sides of the track three or four times. Yet, the longer I drove, the more comfortable I got with how it handled, when to goose it or slam on the brakes and just how quickly it could eat up racetrack. I zipped around for probably 15 minutes, and once I saw that checkered flag I was disappointed; it was truly a good time all by myself, just riding around without anything on my mind. I can imagine that racing others can be a fun, competitive outlet for people who love that sort of thing. Eli told me that there
are adult and kid leagues that meet once a week and race. After getting out of my blue stallion, I was curious about a number of things: first off, people definitely crash in those things, right? “Oh yeah, I’ve seen karts get off the ground up to here,” Eli said as he motioned his hand to waist height. He went on to tell me that there’s a Tesla club that visits NH1 and they say that the electric karts feel essentially the same as driving Teslas, just (obviously) scaled down. Eli then printed out my race sheet, which showed me which lap was my fastest, my ranking in the best of the week (I was eighth, sure to fall out of the rankings by the weekend, much to my chagrin) and several other stats about my race. He also told me that they would soon have cameras that record each race and show you your laps, which is pretty awesome. Who should try this: Anyone who doesn’t mind being low to the ground and going pretty fast — adults (who are over 56 inches tall, the required height for adult drivers), kids (who are over 48 inches tall, the required height for junior racers) and really anyone who wants to have 15 minutes of fun. Eli told me about the aforementioned leagues, and also about companies that come in and do it as a get-out-of-the-office activity with each other. While racing go-karts is obviously geared for kids, the NH1 karts go fast and definitely attract adults and older people. I had a great time, and while I’m not an adrenaline junkie or someone who’s into racing or cars at all, I would definitely recommend NH1 to anyone who wants to have some fun.

Rye holds its July 4 Trolley Tour Three times a summer — Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day — the Rye Historical Society hosts its holiday Trolley Tours, which carry up to 32 people around and through the town of Rye while a host talks passengers through Rye’s history. This year’s Independence Day Trolley Tour takes place Thursday, July 4, from 10:30 a.m. to noon (the time for all trolley tours) and takes off from Rye Center in the parking lot that the Rye Historical Society museum shares with Rye Public Library. The tour is $25 per person and requires advance registration by emailing info@ryenhhistoricalsociety.org. Boarding time is 10:15 a.m. Alex Herlihy, Rye Historical Society charter member, past president and Trolley Tour director, will host the tour and give patrons an in-depth look at Rye’s local history. Herlihy is currently penning a book about Rye’s history. “I have a lot of the history in my head, so it’s easy for me to do,” he said, adding that if others take the tour and read up on Rye’s history, they can “get more familiar with it and have it in your head, too.” The Rye Historical Society gave its first Trolley Tour eight years ago to a group of fourth-graders at Rye Elementary School. It was so successful, the historical society decided to offer tours to the public and has been doing three tours per summer ever since. Herlihy’s tour on July 4 will depart from Rye Center and travel down Central Road, all the way to Ocean Boulevard. Its first stop will be at St. Andrew’s-by-the-Sea, a historic chapel that was built in Rye in 1876. Then, the trolley will stop at the former Drake House Apartment Building, which was built in the 1870s. Both stops will include a minitour where passengers will step off the trolley and listen to a presentation by a guide at each establishment, with Frank Drake presenting at the Drake House stop. The tour’s third stop will be at Goss Farm, where trolley riders will walk through a restored barn and hear a lecture on how the farm’s land was saved by the majority of the Goss family, who voted to preserve the land by selling it to Rye for agriculture purposes as opposed to selling it for housing development. “You’ve got religion, hotel history or resort history and then you’ve got agricultural history,” Herlihy said. On the trolley Herlihy will discuss many historic points along the way, focusing on Rye Harbor, Old Beach Road and Ocean Boulevard. Herlihy explained that Rye Harbor includes some of Rye’s international history, as it was home to the first successful U.S. interna-

tional cable ride in 1874 and “established communications between the old world and the new world.” At Old Beach Road passengers will get to observe a “wonderful, ancient road before they built the bypass in the Jenness Beach area,” Herlihy said, where they will see an old cable house and light saving station that “preceded the Coast Guard in the 1870s.” Ocean Boulevard will showcase Rye’s vitality as a beach town. “A wild scene if it’s a nice day,” Herlihy said. “You feel like you’re in Coney Island because people are just swarming ... it’s quite a sight. And that’s what you want to experience.” The tour will eventually cut back up Harbor Road and back to Central Road, where it will complete its 90-minute loop and tourgoers will be given a handout including a map of the town, two pages of Rye history and a timeline, and will be encouraged to visit the historical society’s museum afterward. The Trolley Tours allow Rye to celebrate both its own history and the history of the trolley itself, Herlihy said, which is “the best public transportation the Seacoast has ever had” and which thrived along the Seacoast until the automobile’s rise in the 1920s. “We killed off public transportation with these automobiles and it’s really something people need to think about,” Herlihy said. “Think about climate change. … If you had better public transportation, people wouldn’t drive as much.” A retired high school history teacher, Herlihy said he believes everyone can find interest in local history. “I just think it provides a great stimulus for appreciating the past, which we believe very strongly informs the present,” he said. “You’re responsible for educating yourself, and there’s no shortage of ways to do it, like taking our tour.” — Caleb Jagoda

For Wayne Moulton, a balloon artist, performer and owner of Sages Entertainment, no creative endeavor is off the table. From being a STEM educator and coaching a high school robotics team to participating in a “Ghostbusters” cosplay group to making intricate balloon sculptures, Moulton has channelled his interests into a variety of fun avenues. The annual New Hampshire Maker and Food Fest is something Moulton looks forward to every year — he has been a yearly attendee from the start — as it allows him to express all of his passions in one form or another and put them on display. This year marks the seventh annual New Hampshire Maker and Food Fest, happening on Saturday, June 29, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover. The museum website coins the event as the “Greatest Show & Tell (& Taste) on Earth,” featuring an abundance of “makers,” exhibits for attendees to observe and interact with and a number of food trucks that will be stationed in the museum’s parking lot. Admission costs $10 per person for advance tickets purchased before June 28, $12 per person at the door, $10 per person age 65 and older at the door and free for children age 5 and younger. The Children’s Museum’s normal exhibits will be shut down the day of the Maker and Food Fest. This year Moulton will try something he has never tried before at the Maker Fest: a balloon art show presented by his wife Kali and him. Moulton is just one of the many makers and creators who will be at the event, which Neva Cole, the Communications Director of the Children’s Museum, called “a really kind of weird but amazing mixture of hands-on experiences.” “It’s not like your typical New England fair where there’s Ferris wheels to ride and cotton candy,” Cole said, “but the cool thing about it is that when you come, you get to try your hand at a huge, huge variety of different things, and it changes every year.” Cole emphasized the variety of material that the Maker and Food Fest presents every year, ranging from robots to coffee brewers to ceramic artisans to Star Wars stormtroopers to weaving demonstrations and more. With other maker fests happening across New England, some of which take place on the same weekend as the New Hampshire Maker and Food Fest, the Children’s Museum isn’t always able

to retain the same makers year after year, but Cole sees that as a good thing. “It just pushes us to find different people that are doing different things in different ways,” she said. “It really does change a lot from year to year based on the amazing local talent that we’re able to find and recruit. This year we have a 12-year-old from the Dover Middle School who actually went on the Steve Harvey show with her invention of water-dissolvable plastic bags.” What’s also different about this year’s Maker Fest is the date; this is the first year the museum will be holding the event in June, as the six previous Maker Fests have taken place in August. Cole believes this may raise attendance. In the past the event has brought in a crowd of around 1,600 people. According to Cole, the idea for a Maker and Food Fest came about when the museum’s president, Jane Bard, caught wind of a Maker Faire kit, courtesy of Make Magazine, that allowed readers to start their own maker faire and license the copyright. That spawned the Dover Mini Maker Faire, which was the name of the event until last year, when the museum decided to break off from the Maker Faire chain and create its own festival so that it could have more creative control to coordinate the event in whatever fashion it pleased. Although the event is held at the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire, Cole emphasized that the Maker Fest is not only for children, although all of the makers and exhibits are family-friendly. “We get asked a lot, ‘Is this appropriate for just me and my boyfriend to come?’” Cole said. “The answer is yes, you do not need kids to come to the New Hampshire Maker and Food Fest. … There really is something for every age level.” One of the features of the annual event that Cole believes drives in people of all ages is the food trucks, which tally up into the double digits. Food trucks this year will include Boogalows Island BBQ, Kona Ice, Curb Appeal Meals, Sub-Zero Ice Cream, South Patrol BBQ and Grill, Auntie Nae’s, Bloomin’ Cow Ice Cream, Royal We Bakery, Clyde’s Cupcakes, Pressed For Time Mobile Cafe and more. People can access the food trucks without having to pay for admission to the event. Moulton insists that although he and his wife will be creating balloon animals and other balloon sculptures, their demonstration is exceedingly different and more interactive than an average, run-of-the-mill balloon animal party trick. “We’re creating some really intricate pieces that we’ve done,” Moulton said. “It’s something new and exciting that people haven’t seen.” Moulton explained that he and Kali will be orchestrating a balloon guessing game where the first person in the crowd to guess what animal or object they’re creating gets to keep it.
A balloon game show will have attendees answering trivia questions to win balloon sculptures and will feature various magic tricks and balloon games. Also in attendance at the Maker Fest will be Michael Roundy, director of Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race, and Yvonne Marston, inventor and owner of Knō-Bü brand products. Sculpture racing, according to Roundy, is an activity that combines engineering, art and physical activity, as participants in the yearly Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race have to create a vehicle that can travel through land, mud and water, is aesthetically pleasing and is pedaled like a bicycle. Meanwhile, Knō-Bü products are the brainchild of Marston, who set out to create a fashionable accessory that can be placed over the buttons of coats, cabinet and door knobs and more to spice things up and change their design and color. This is Roundy’s “third or fourth year” at the Maker Fest, and Marston’s first. Roundy explained that while attendees won’t be able to build their own kinetic race sculpture, they will be able to see “The Lobster Roll,” a kinetic race sculpture made for the Lowell Race’s 50th annual event. Marston said she plans to “beta test” her cabinetry knob cover line and “build a community of believers.” Roundy, Marston and Moulton all said that one of their favorite parts of the annual Maker and Food Fest is the chance to interact with other like-minded creatives, as it’s rare that such an abundance of different yet similarly inventive people have the chance to get together in one space and share their ideas with the public and each other. “A lot of the time when I’m walking around the makers fest, I’m looking for people that like the same things that I do and speak the same language that I do, that you might not find in an everyday situation,” Moulton said. “I think it’s really quite cool to have a place where people can show off what they’re doing, no matter how complicated or how not complicated it might be.” With these makers breaking down their complicated passions and interests come hundreds of attendees, children and adults, who are ready to learn and be amazed. Cole said she views the event through the eyes of a parent first, as she has a young daughter whom she brings to the festival every year. “It really only took one festival before I realized it’s something that’s extremely unique,” Cole said. “My daughter and my husband come every year and I have so many pictures of her just beaming beyond happy because she gets to try to figure out how to create something that will squish a grape, or some kind of contraption that will safely transport an egg off the roof of the museum in the egg drop challenge, or she gets to help decorate a fairy house or talk to a pirate. I really get to see it from the perspective of a parent watching her kid explore these really amazing, random, creative things, and I have learned a lot from a lot of really cool, inventive people.” — Caleb Jagoda Visit childrens-museum.org.

CAR TALK
How much is my Honda CR-V worth? Dear Car Talk: First, let me start off by saying that I am 72 going on 62. I have a 2014 Honda CR-V with over 34,000 miles on it. I am thinking that I want a new OdysBy Ray Magliozzi sey because I have had them in the past and because of new safety features, like blind spot warning and all the other stuff you guys always recommend. My question would be, what is my CR-V worth in a trade-in? Whatever help you can give me would be much appreciated. Thank you. — Dorothy Well, there are several ways to figure out the value of your car, Dorothy. My brother figured out the value of his cars by leaving them unlocked with the keys in the ignition. When no one stole them in a week, he had a pretty good idea of the value. What you should do is start by going to a website like kbb.com. Click on “Get Trade In Value” and fill in your information. That’ll give you a guess as to what it’s worth. While you’re there, have a look at the “trade in value” vs. the “private sale value.” You’ll notice that you’ll get about 15 to 20
percent more for your car by selling it yourself. You might want to consider that. A better way to value your car for private sale is to see what similar cars are selling for in the real world. How do you do that? Try a couple of websites. First, try Craigslist. That’s where you’ll find people selling their own cars. Look for 2013-2015 CR-Vs with mileage similar to yours. My guess is you’ll find that they’re selling for $13,000-$15,000. Next, check out used CR-Vs at cars.com. You’ll find mostly ads from dealers there, so the prices will be higher than in a private sale. But again, it’ll help you figure out what similar cars are selling for, and what your competition is. For instance, if you see a similar CR-V selling for $17,000 from a dealer, you know that if you list yours for $15,500, it’ll look like a good deal to buyers. Once you’ve done your research, you can also ask the dealer what he’ll give you for a trade-in and compare that to what you’d get in a private sale. If the difference is 2,000 to 3,000 bucks, you might decide it’s worth the trouble to sell it yourself. Or commission a grandkid to do it for you. Now, about the Odyssey. You’re absolutely right that we recommend forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring
and cross traffic alert for everybody. Especially 72-year-olds going on 62 like you, Dorothy. But you don’t have to get an Odyssey in order to get all that stuff. You can buy a new CR-V with that safety equipment if you like your current car. If you love the Odyssey, and you want to tote around six grandkids, some 4-by-8 sheets of plywood and a couple of refrigerators, by all means, get the van. But it’s a big vehicle, and if you don’t need something that large, you can get the safety equipment you need on almost any vehicle now. So don’t feel limited. Dear Car Talk: I am retired, but I work part time as a transporter for Hertz Rental Car at our local airport. As I drive the cars, moving them around, I’ve noticed that almost all the cars have black interiors. Is this for cost savings for the car companies, or do rental companies just buy cars with black interiors? Thanks. — Arnie. It’s to cover up the latte stains, Arnie. Or whatever other stains rental car customers leave behind. While cloth interiors are certainly
cheaper than other options, the black cloth is probably no cheaper than, say, gray or tan cloth. But when you’ve got families with kids renting cars for the weekend, and little Freddie eats too many jelly beans at Grandma’s and tries to read “Where’s Waldo” in a moving car and ... Well, you get the idea. Being able to hide stains is something rental car companies figured out was important pretty quickly. That’s why RentA-White-Interior Rental Cars went out of business years ago, Arnie. By the way, this is a good time to remind all of our readers to check with your credit card company before renting a car. Most major credit cards provide insurance coverage for any rental car you pay for with that card. More often than not, you can decline the “supplemental insurance” that the rental car companies offer, which is expensive, and in most cases, unnecessary. You’ll still have to hit those black cloth seats pretty hard with Febreze after the “Where’s Waldo” incident, but you’ll save a good chunk of money on the rental fee. Visit Cartalk.com.

FOOD
AT THE RIVERWORKS RESTAURANT & TAVERN For executive chef TJ Bernard of The Riverworks Restaurant & Tavern (164 Main St., Newmarket, 659-6119, theriverworks.com), good tavern-style food is all about keeping it tried and true while focusing hard on the details. The Riverworks is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, featuring a seasonal menu of modern New England cuisine that’s available both downstairs in a tavern with wood-paneled walls and tall seating tables, and in an upstairs dining area that’s a little more intimate. Bernard said the menu will usually change about twice a year, featuring more hearty comfort-food options like meatloaf, pot pies and macaroni and cheese during the winter, and lighter, colorful vegetable-driven dishes during the summer months. Year-round staples include the restaurant’s burgers and sandwiches, which are served with hand-cut salt and cracked pepper potato chips. The Scene recently spoke with Bernard about some new dishes making their debut on the summer menu at The Riverworks and what you can expect when you visit. The Riverworks Restaurant & Tavern in Newmarket. Courtesy photos.
How long has The Riverworks Restaurant & Tavern been around? About 30 years. The current owner has been here for the past 23 years, and I’ve been here collectively for maybe about 12. I started here as a part-time dishwasher back in 2003, and I moved up in the ranks, going off to work as a sous chef for other places before coming back here. I grew up here in Newmarket, so it’s kind of been like a hometown love affair. I’ve been able to see this town go through a lot of changes, and I like the direction that it’s going in from a culinary standpoint.
What makes The Riverworks Restaurant & Tavern unique? We are very detail-oriented. We’re a made-from-scratch kitchen with recipes in place to make the flavor profiles consistent every time. The way we approach seasonal menu changes is what we try and do … to make ourselves better than any other run-ofthe-mill type [of] tavern. What is your personal favorite dish? We’re the only place in town, I think, that has oysters on the menu every day. We source those from some of the best, from Island Creek [Oyster Bar in Boston] and they’ll sometimes deliver four to five times a week. They are definitely a favorite summer-

time morsel of mine and something that I try to hype up a little bit, too.
forecast and plan ahead for the future, and to always be on top of your game.
What is a dish everyone should try? The up-and-coming short rib on our summer menu is definitely one of them. I’ll also, one hundred percent, stand by the fact that we have the best burgers around. I know that that’s a bold tstatement to make, but we have great burgers with an 8-ounce patty from Creekstone Farms, and my secret weapon is the garlic-buttered potato bun.
What is your favorite part of being on the Seacoast? I like that I can find water within a 10to 15-minute drive, whether that be the ocean or a lake. I don’t know that I could ever live in a landlocked state, because [the water] is kind of like my zen. … The other thing is that everything you need is within arm’s reach. It’s our own little community that we are all a part of.
What is an essential skill for running a restaurant? You have to be hospitality-driven. I think you also have to try to have the ability to …

When considering white wine, most are inclined to select a chardonnay or pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc. However, there are a number of other varietals worth considering — wines that are frequently passed by, mostly for reasons that are unknown. Can it simply be the strength of marketing? France, Italy, Spain and the United States produce white wines, but many do not think of Germany or Austria as producing white wines. Everyone has heard of Oktoberfest and thinks of these countries as producing excellent beers. However, in addition to beer, these countries produce excellent wines that are a distinct departure from most wines we are familiar with. North Central Europe has cold winters. The vines that are cultivated here must be winterized. The location of the vineyards, the orientation to the sun and exposure to hot summer days and cooling breezes at night are all very critical in the cultivation of these vineyards. This imparts a “lightness” and generally crisp nuances to the wines. The eastern portions of Austria, along the Danube River, and the southern Palatine regions of Germany along the Rhine River, have long been known for producing excellent wines. Austrian wines may come from one of the several regions of the eastern part of the country, along and near the Danube River. The Höpler winery is located in Burgenland, one of these regions, just 45 minutes from Vienna. It is on the banks of Lake Neusiedl. The Höpler Gruner Veltliner, 2017, priced at $15.99, comes from this district. According to the winery’s website, this region was “settled by Cistercian monks, after they rocked out the vineyards in Burgundy. … this area has a long winemaking tradition and shares some similarities with that place in France.” The soils range from gravel with some clay to rich, fertile well-draining silt. Cold winters allow the vines to go dormant, but hot summers with substantial sunshine and humidity rising from the nearby lake allow the grapes to develop balance between fruit, flavor and great acidity. The color is straw with a strong overtone of green. The green results from the selection of greener grapes, producing a wine that is more aromatic than the grapes that are more yellow. To the nose the wine has notes of lime and a minerality of greens and some white pepper spice. This wine falls between sauvignon blanc (acid and green grassy notes) and riesling (tropical and mineral notes). To the taste, this wine has tropical fruit – pineapple with lemon-lime acidity. This is an ideal wine to cool and just sip, or pair with a salad – Yes! A wine to pair with a green salad! This wine

will also pair with asparagus, oysters, sushi or pasta with a light “white” sauce. The riesling profiled for this column is Prinz Salm Two Princes Riesling, 2017. Priced at $16.99, this wine comes from the Rhineland Palatinate. This area, home of many if not most German wines, dates to the Holy Roman Empire. According to their website, the Prinz Salm winery dates back to the year 1200. The vineyards are planted on steep, south-facing slopes with an excellent microclimate. Schloss Wallhausen (castle/manor house, constructed in 1565) is the seat for 32 generations of uninterrupted viticulture and family tradition. Four generations of the family now reside at Schloss Wallhausen to share their knowledge and experience to pass on to future generations. The family is long steeped in the history of viticulture and production of wine and has taken a leading and active role in the German Prädikat Wine Estates. They have opted for organic viticulture since 1988, one of the first German estates to do so. The wine has a nose of melon to light citric fruit. To taste, it combines pear/ quince and apricot, with a mineral streak. It coats the tongue with a silky, very slightly sweet feel. This wine will pair well with a creamy seafood dish, but can bridge to a great complementary dessert wine. Instead of selecting a pinot grigio or chardonnay, the next time you want a cool white wine to sip, or to pair with a meal, expand your palate and try one of these wines. Look to the subtleties and versatility of these Austrian and German wines. They go with an array of foods from cheeses to salads to seafood to desserts. They are worth your consideration. Fred Matuszewski is a local architect and a foodie and wine geek, interested in the cultivation of the multiple strains and varieties of grapes and the industry of wine production and sales. Chief among his travels is an annual trip to the wine-producing areas of California.

Buffalo Deviled Eggs I always come back to eggs. Really, they’re the perfect food all in a great little package. As I’ve written before in this column, not all eggs are created equal. Eggs that come from pastured hens are more nutritious. You can tell by looking at the yolk! A yolk from a properly pastured hen’s egg is bright orange. Truly, the color may surprise you. These days it’s fairly easy to get pastured eggs. Your local grocery store may have them, your farmers market too and, if you’re lucky, maybe your neighbor has them. Even here in Portsmouth, where I live, there are a few people who have chickens on their property. We’ve thought about housing some in our backyard but I honestly get a little scared of grown birds; it’s kind of embarrassing! One of the many benefits of having chickens is the built-in pest control. With the mild winter and wet spring, ticks are at a high. There’s a lot of anxiety in New England and, sadly, it seems to be merited. Chickens actually eat ticks and can help reduce the population. So, in addition to having your own eggs (that are more nutritious as they’ll come from pastured hens), you can rest a little easier knowing you have fewer ticks in your yard. Win-win! Maybe I need to get over my fear of birds.

I came across this recipe using the “incredible, edible egg” (remember that ad campaign?) and was intrigued. I adore Buffalo wings and deviled eggs so it was a match made in heaven. Instead of making traditional deviled eggs, which I find to be a little too much work for a regular day, I went for Buffalo Egg Salad and I’m pretty happy with it! I combined recipes from Ree Drummond and Frank’s Red Hot and just sort of figured it out. It was so delicious. — Allison Willson Dudas

You might not want to have sex with a robot. You might be perfectly happy canoodling with another human being, despite our irritating tendency to tire, sweat and wrinkle. But if given the opportunity to acquire a “synthetic human” — a beautiful, brainy robot so life-like that people couldn’t distinguish it from real humans on the street — and if it would do your dishes and laundry, cut your grass and dress itself, who could resist? Charlie, the protagonist in Ian McEwan’s Machines Like Me, acquires his synthetic human, appropriately named “Adam,” after his mother dies, leaving him a tidy inheritance. Ordinarily, Charlie would not have had the money. Adam cost more than $100,000, and Charlie is an unambitious millennial who ekes out a living in London by trading stocks online. He concedes that it was a reckless purchase, but justified it by noting that Alan Turing, “war hero and presiding genius of the digital age,” had bought one too. Charlie envisions Adam both as a companion and household help, and he enlists a beguiling neighbor, Amanda, to help him select the personality traits that Adam will have. You could program Adam to be outgoing or shy, talkative or withdrawn, boastful or modest, for example. Adam can converse, has a pulse and the appearance of breathing, can charge himself on command and tie his own shoes. He also can do anything you ask, from opening a bottle of wine, to cleaning windows. He also processes information faster than Google. Which is why, when Adam tells Charlie something disturb-
SEACOAST SCENE | JUNE 27 - JULY 3, 2019 | PAGE 34
ing about Amanda that he has gleaned from court records, things get complicated quickly. Although Amanda and Charlie have become lovers, she hasn’t been forthcoming about her life and has been going through the motions of a relationship even as Charlie is falling in love. One night the two have an argument about the Falklands invasion and Charlie walks out, leaving Adam in Amanda’s apartment overnight. Since he lives below her, he can hear what transpires, leading to another argument the next day, about whether sex with a robot can be considered infidelity. The complexity of the moral issues presented by a rapidly changing plot makes Machines Like Me both a satisfying read and a challenging one. Adding to the complexity is the upsidedown universe in which Charlie and Amanda dwell. The early mention of Turing, the computer scientist who died in 1954, is a clue that Charlie’s world is not the same as ours even though the Drudge Report keeps promising that life-sized sex robots will be on Walmart shelves any day. Charlie lives in the 1980s, but it’s the 1980s in which the Beatles have reunited, Joseph Heller wrote Catch-18, and Britain lost the Falklands War, badly, among other contradictions. It’s a clever construction that allows for sly jokes that will be lost on some readers; for example, Turing’s devotion to opensource publication, McEwan writes, led to
“the collapse of the journals Nature and Science” – both very much still alive. But as strange as this universe is, it is the setup for McEwan’s profound point that “The present is the frailest of improbable constructs.” But for almost imperceptible twists and turns of life, everything could be different in ways both small and enormous. “How easy to conjure worlds in which my toenail had not turned against me,” Charlie muses as he gets an ingrown toenail treated, “in which I was rich, living north of the Thames after one of my schemes succeeded; in which Shakespeare had died in childhood and no one missed him….” The robots are here. They’re not yet physically indistinguishable from humans, but some have already passed the famous “Turing Test” by being indistinguishable in how they “think” and behave. And some people believe that there’s little difference from our own predictable patterns of behavior and the AI that we create; “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams, for example, has long called people “moist robots.” Machines Like Me envisions the unintended consequences of our obsession with making AI stronger, faster, smarter and more beautiful. As Charlie says early on, “Tragedy was a possibility, but not boredom.” It’s a compelling book from one of Britain’s literary masters. A —Jennifer Graham

Fire starters
Rising star band Honeysuckle celebrates new release Deft instrumental interplay, gorgeous three-part harmonies, preternatural timing — Honeysuckle possesses all the elements of a stellar acoustic roots band. Four consecutive Boston Music Award nominations, culminating with a win in 2018 and a nod from NPR (2016 Bands to Watch So Far) are among the accolades backing up this notion. On the just-released third LP, Fire Starter, there’s extra mojo as the band — Holly McGarry, Chris Bloniarz and Benjamin Burns — probe the modern world with stunning emotional intelligence. Take “I Love My Phone,” which complains about how technology begets alienation — “illuminated faces I used to know” — but ultimately takes a longer view. The McGarry-written “To the Grave” describes a buried secret and wonders if it’s held out of courage or cruelty, finally unburdening it with a declaration that “time won’t heal you.” Another, “We’ll Die Young,” is
a 27 Club bit of gallows humor wrapped around memories of friendship. On it the three voices melt together like fine whiskey, sweet vermouth and a dash of bitters. The closest thing to a love song is “MissYou,” a rocked-up kiss-off that starts the new album. “Thematically, we write about relationships, but typically the non-romantic kind,” McGarry explained in a recent phone interview. “A lot of mine is processing family. … Ben is writing more about some friendships that have impacted him in a similar way. It’s not just blood family that shapes you but that chosen family as well.” Honeysuckle came together at Berklee College of Music. McGarry grew up in Sand Point, a musically rich town in the Idaho panhandle. She began gigging in her teens, playing shows with Shook Twins, a popular local band, planning to continue after high school, until her father mentioned that Gillian

Welch, her favorite songwriter, was a Berklee alum, and suggested she apply. “It felt like an on-a-whim thing, this huge music college so far from home, but I thought, why not?” she said. “They offered me a partial scholarship, so at that point it seemed like it would be silly not to give it a try. I was very lucky, but it was … a really hard year of being so far from home.” McGarry and Burns began writing together for school projects, and McGarry started dating Bloniarz; the two men are in a band called Grey Season. They came together as a trio organically, McGarry recalled, when Burns played a harmonized line in a song and Bloniarz jumped in with his instrument, and an aha moment happened. “There was this third part that we didn’t know was missing until we heard it instrumentally and vocally,” she said. Early on, Honeysuckle reworked many of McGarry’s songs — she’d released two solo albums before coming to Berklee — with unified results. “Chris and Ben play off each other in a really interesting way,” McGarry said. “The interplay between the two of them and what they’ve done arranging-wise is what really made it a band instead of just solo artists with guest musicians. It’s just as much theirs as it
is mine now.” McGarry is also glad for being able to share the ups and downs of touring. “At a festival, you’ll get a thunderstorm, or your car’s going to break down on the way to the biggest gig of your life,” she said. “It’s more fun to be in a band than solo when something goes wrong … otherwise, you’ve got no one to laugh it off with; you have to sit and carry it.” Cohesiveness rises to another level on Fire Starter. “I actually did more co-writing on this record with Chris; in the past it was more Ben and I collaborating,” McGarry said. “It’s been really interesting because Chris comes from a little different musical background, a little more rocking, I guess. He loves Metallica, unlike Ben and I. It’s brought a slightly different flavor to things ... which is sort of fun.” —Michael Witthaus Honeysuckle with Sam Moss When: Sunday, June 30, 8 p.m. Where: Firehouse Center for the Arts, Market Square, Newburyport, Mass.

Say you have a new baby. Say you’re overwhelmed with love and sleep deprivation, and say you’ve been auditioning names for months, to no avail. Future Perfect, a web startup, will happily accept your $350 fee to “email you a customized list of names” to choose from, plus 15 minutes of phone time with one of its consultants. “Working your way through thousands of alphabetized names can be a useful exercise for some,” the website explains, “but the lists we provide are personalized, hyper-curated and unique to each client’s specific criteria.” They’ll even help you name your pets! WABC reports that Future Perfect offers lessexpensive packages as well, such as a $100 “namestorming session.”

As members of New Life Baptist Church in Advance, North Carolina, prepared to merge with a nearby congregation, they removed the handmade steeple from their building, intending to return it to church member Mike Brewer, who made it. But a passerby who saw the steeple at the curb on June 5 thought it was intended for garbage pickup and took it home, sparking a different kind of steeplechase, according to the WinstonSalem Journal. Church pastor Matthew Pope called it a clear misunderstanding: “The person assumed we were throwing it out. She ... didn’t want it to go to the dump.” The unwitting steeple thief saw a post about the missing structure on Facebook from Pope’s wife and returned the steeple five days after its disappearance.

• In Saint Petersburg, Russia, motor enthusiast Konstantin Zarutskiy unveiled his newest creation in early May: a Bentley Continental GT sedan refitted with heavy-duty rubber tank treads instead of regular tires. He calls the resulting vehicle “Ultratank” and is hoping to get permission from the local government to drive the car on city streets. Zarutskiy tells EuroNews his Ultratank is very easy to drive, although creating it took him seven months as he faced a number of technical challenges. We’d like to see him parallel park it. • Hundreds of divers set a Guinness World Record on June 15 at Deerfield Beach, Florida, where they met to perform an underwater cleanup. Fox35 reported that 633 divers collected 9,000 pieces of debris on the ocean floor during the event, which was organized by Dixie Divers. The previous record, 615 divers, was set in the Red Sea of Egypt in 2015.

Francesco Galdelli, 58, and Vanya Goffi, 45 — otherwise known as the Italian Bonnie and Clyde — were arrested on June 15 at a luxury villa in Pattaya, Thailand, after years of avoiding Italian authorities for various scams and frauds. The Telegraph reported that Galdelli had confessed to posing as George Clooney and opening an online clothing business “to trick people into sending money.” The two would also sell fake Rolex watches online, sometimes sending packets of salt to their customers instead of wristwatches. Clooney testified against the couple in 2010, but they fled Italy before being arrested there. Galdelli was arrested in Thailand in 2014, but soon escaped after bribing prison guards. The pair will be returned to Italy for trial.

Laurence Pilgeram, who died in 2015 in California, paid Alcor Life Extension Foundation $120,000 to preserve his body indefinitely at minus 196 degrees Celsius in the hope of being brought back to life in the future. But a month after his death, his son, Kurt Pilgeram of Dutton, Montana, received a box containing his father’s ashes. The company sent all but the elder Pilgeram’s head, which is stored in liquid nitrogen at its facility in Arizona. “They chopped his head off, burned his body, put it in a box and sent it to my house,” Kurt told the Great Falls Tribune. He is suing Alcor for $1 million in damages and an apology —plus the return of his father’s head. “I want people to know what’s going on,” he said. For its part, Alcor says its contract was with Laurence Pilgeram and that it met that agreement. The company contends Kurt is trying to get the life insurance money that paid for Alcor’s services. The trial is expected to begin in 2020 in California.

Bright Ideas A Domino’s pizza delivery driver in London was the unwitting victim of a prank on June 6 when he tried to deliver four large cheeseburger pizzas to Buckingham Palace, for “Elizabeth.” At the security gate, he was stopped by two armed police officers, who checked to make sure the queen had not, indeed, ordered the pies. “The next thing the copper said was, ‘Sorry, sir, Elizabeth is the name of the queen — and she lives at Buckingham Palace. I think someone is winding you up,” a source told The Sun. The original phone order had promised cash payment at delivery. Store manager Zsuzsanna Queiser said the “pizzas seemed to go down pretty well with the police officers on duty. Next time, Your Majesty.”
Compelling Explanation
You think you hate your job? Last year, in April, Eli Aldinger, now 23, told police officers in Bothell, Washington, he intentionally drove his Toyota Camry into two different groups of pedestrians in order to “get out of going to work.” Aldinger, who worked in food service at McMenamins Anderson School, first hit a woman who was crossing the street with her husband, admitting to police that he sped up to 35 or 40 mph so he could “hit her before she made it across the road,” reported the Bothell-Kenmore Reporter. A bit farther on, he swerved to hit another pedestrian -- but declined to strike a third, believing that would have been “a bit excessive.” He stopped when he spotted a police car and told the officers he was looking forward to “spending a few years in a room.” On May 31, he got his wish: Aldinger will spend 14 years in prison for assault.

German Instagram “influencers” Catalin Onc and Elena Engelhardt have faced a digital dressing-down after they set up a GoFundMe page requesting donations for a bike trip to Africa. They want to raise about 10,000 euros for the jaunt, but some people aren’t on board. Onc and Engelhardt live with Onc’s mother, who supports them by working at two jobs, the Independent reported.

PET OF THE WEEK This one-year-old American pit bull with the soulful eyes is Ben.

Ben has a shy streak, so it’s best for new friends to take things slowly and surely. Once he gets to know you, he loves you. Outside his kennel he loves to play with rope toys and take walks around the shelter. His excitement to play and get outside shows as soon as you pick up his leash, but he also settles nicely and would be happy to relax by your side.
