A WORD FROM LARRY

Father time

Master McGrath’s

I would like to share with you some information about Father’s Day. It took a long time for Father’s Day to be recognized, according to my research. In 1910 (one year after the establishLarry Marsolais ment of Mother’s Day), Father’s Day was founded in Spokane Washington by Sonora Smart Dodd and celebrated on June 19. It did not have much success initially; in 1916 President Woodrow Wilson tried to make it official.

US President Calvin Coolidge recommended it in 1924, but it was defeated by Congress. In 1957, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith accused Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. But it took six more years for the day to become a permanent national holiday when President

Wow! Speaking as a dad, I am glad things worked out. All Father’s need a day that they can call their own, a day to do what ever they want to. Sometimes it is just a day of rest and relaxation or celebrating with your family. And just as I said about Mother’s Day last month, you need to do something for a dad in your life. It can be as simple as giving a card or making your own; some of my great father’s day gifts were homemade cards from my kids. This is a great opportunity to make your dad feel special. Celebrate how you want, but remember, Father’s Day is June 19.

Support the ride

Sunset Cruise will help local biker reach fundraising goal

By Vinny Manfrate

vinny@seacoastscene.net

For the 21st time, 74-year-old George Prive of Hampton will be riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge, in honor of his family, friends and acquaintances who have battled, are currently battling or have lost their lives to cancer.

The annual 192-mile bike ride from Sturbridge, Mass., to Providence, Mass., is happening on Saturday, Aug. 6, and Sunday, Aug. 7. Riders raise money from sponsors to go directly to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.

“I got involved because a little boy in Hampton Falls, Connor Drew, came down with leukemia,” Prive said. “He survived and I just got hooked on it. Every year there seems to be a family member, friend or acquaintance that I am riding for.”

The hardships of cancer reach far and wide, and Prive has been no exception as his wife, Paula, is a 40-year survivor. George and Paula have both lost their mothers to cancer, along with Paula’s brother, who died just weeks before Christmas.

“I’m riding for a lot of local people this year,” Prive said. “One of those people will

Courtesy of George Prive.

be Paula’s brother, Gary P.J. Martin.”

According to Prive, a typical day out training on his bike will see him crossing over 50 miles, and he hopes to hit 100 miles a day before the big race.

“I try to head out every day or at the very least five days a week,” said Prive. “I know that I’m naturally going to get some rainy days that I can take off.”

Prive is fast approaching his $35,000 goal, sitting just below $26,000 currently.

Various businesses and locals throughout the area have pitched in through donations and fundraisers to support Prive’s ride.

These fundraisers, such as a recent food-, wine- and art-themed event at the Victoria Inn, along with a social media push, have helped Prive toward his goal. The next fun-

draiser will be the Sunset Firework Cruise.

“Phil Eastman was kind enough to supply the boat and pilot it,” Prive said, “and the tickets are going directly to the challenge and the causes.”

The Sunset Cruise will take place on Wednesday, June 15, departing from Eastman’s Fishing Dock (5 River St., Seabrook, N.H) at the Hampton Harbor at 7 p.m. Cost to attend will be a $20 donation to Prive’s Pan-Mass Challenge fund. The cruise will include a trip out to the Isles of Shoals to view the scenery and the sunset and then will drop anchor off Hampton Beach to view the fireworks at 9:30 p.m. There will be light fare sold along with a cash bar.

Over Prive’s career riding in the PanMass Challenge, he has brought together the community to raise over $625,000 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. If you’d like to make a donation or would like to know more information about George Prive and his ride, visit pmc-nh.org. For more information about the Pan-Mass Challenge, visit pmc.org. To RSVP for the Sunset Cruise, email Prive at george@pmc-nh.org or call 603-926-9126.

Sure, you can see the coastline on four wheels, in an air-conditioned vehicle — or you could hop on a scooter or a bike and see the sights with the wind in your hair. The Seacoast offers several places to rent scooters, sports coupes or bicycles, giving you the chance to explore the coast in a new way.

side roads and scenic overviews on the Seacoast.

“They’re fun, bottom line,” said Bob Marchewka, owner of Scoot Me Now. “People come back and tell me that they had a great time and thank us for renting to them.”

According to Marchewka, the Seacoast is conducive to getting around on scooters, especially the New Hampshire, northern Massachusetts and Maine coasts. There are easy pathways and roads bringing you to the beach and all the attractions that the area has to offer.

“They’re easier to park than a car,” he said, “and easier to get around in. You

tend to go places that you wouldn’t in your vehicle. I think you see a lot more of what’s surrounding you. If it's nice out, why not rent a scooter instead of your standard air-conditioned vehicle?”

“You get a whole different perspective,” said Jessica Kalish, vice president at Scoot N’ Around in Seabrook, N.H. “You get to see everything around you and it's faster than walking or riding a bike.”

As far as safety goes, helmets and sunscreen are always recommended.

According to Marchewka, the State of New Hampshire requires you to be wearing some sort of eye protection, whether that be sunglasses, riding glasses or goggles.

“They only go about 30 miles per hour,” he said.

“You just have to be smart and careful. We try to familiarize people with the scooter.

Ninety-nine perJESSICA KALISH cent of people that have never done it pick it up quickly.”

Most scooter rentals shops will be more than happy to show you the ropes of the scooter.

“Honestly, someone who has never ridden before can come here and rent a scooter,” Kalish said. “We’ll show you everything and how it works. People who have never done it before end up having a blast.”

It’s important to be aware of your speed, surroundings and traffic conditions when riding.

“Some people rent and say that they went on a really busy day at the beach and complain about the traffic,” Kalish said. “They should be aware that if it’s a nice day at the beach, that it could be busy.”

Marchewka recommends keeping your head on swivel, being aware of your surroundings and treating the vehicle with the proper amount of respect.

“You know, it’s a vehicle, just like a motorcycle,” he said. “Be aware on the road. It’s an on-road vehicle, not a toy.

We try to convey that to people. Have fun but be careful. We don’t have a lot of issues at all, though.”

Scoot N’ Around also offers the chance to rent a sport coupe. These are threewheeled vehicles in which you and a

“I would probably start out in the morning and drive over the Memorial Bridge from Portsmouth over into Kittery and stop for coffee” said Bob Marchewka of Scoot Me Now. “I’d come back down around and loop through New Castle and then head down Route 1A to Petey’s for a lobster roll. Tool around in Hampton for a bit, up and down Ocean Boulevard, and back to Portsmouth.”

“I’ve been on many trips with the scooter on the seacoast,” said Jessica Kalish of Scoot N’ Around. “I‘ve [driven] all the way to Portsmouth for lunch or dinner and then head back. It’s simple but that’s a perfect day to me. With the scoot coupes, if it’s cold out, they have trunks in the back where we store a blanket and we ride home underneath a blanket the whole time.”

“My perfect day out,” said Jeff Latimer of Gus’s Bike Shop, “would be a day of low humidity and the sun’s out and really not having an agenda, just going out and exploring. Exploring, being carefree and having fun, that’s really what it’s all about.”

“I really like the sport coupes,” Kalish said. “You can have kids or partners sit next to you, which is huge, because normally they wouldn’t be able to ride a scooter alongside you. It’s also great for older people who don’t want to drive a scooter and would rather sit side by side.

It’s super fun.”

Kalish and Marchewka both recommend riding Route 1A along the coast when you rent a vehicle with them. Route 1A will lead you to Hampton Beach, Salisbury Beach, up through Rye to Portsmouth; you can take various detours and sight-see along the way.

that have speed limits over 40 miles per hour, due to the limitations of the vehicle.

“Some of the back roads around Rye and North Hampton are a lot of fun,” said Marchewka. “It’s nice and open with not a lot of traffic. A lot of people ride their scooters through there.”

“Route 1A is going to be the best to ride on; it’s a very scenic view.” said Kalish.

“But we have no restrictions. As soon as people rent them, they are free to take it as they please, which is really nice.”

Use a little muscle

Are you looking to get a little exercise in with your exploring? The Seacoast is one of the top biking spots in the country, according to Jeff Latimer of Gus’ Bike Shop. While Gus’ Bike Shop primarily sells bikes and bike equipment, there are plenty of places on the Seacoast to rent a bicycle if you’re looking to take a day tour of the area.

“The cool thing about the Seacoast is that we have this incredible stretch of road [Route 1A] where you are riding next to the ocean,” Lattimer said. “That’s actually very unusual in other places around the country.”

Families can take a day trip to Odiorne State Park (570 Ocean Boulevard, Rye, N.H.), where there are trails to ride on without any car traffic. The park’s trails are bike-friendly and have some of the best views on the seacoast. Pack a picnic and enjoy views of Rye’s forests and beaches and the ocean through an extensive network of trails. Entrance to the park costs $4 for adults and $2 for children ages 6 to 12. Operating hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the park gates are open until 8 p.m., though hours depend on weather and are subject to change without notice.

Trails Coalition, based in Newburyport, Mass., with trailheads in Salisbury and Amesbury as well, also provides a fun, easy and safe place to explore on two wheels for families. The Eastern Marsh Trail features 1.4 miles of paved roads through marshes with world-class birdviewing. The entrance to this trail is on Friedenfels Street in Salisbury, Mass., across from Striper’s Restaurant and Inn. The Ghost Trail extends from Amesbury, Mass., into Salisbury and features a hard-packed stone dust trail that makes for a great bike ride. This trail features views of the surrounding forests and native flowers. There are multiple entrances to this trial including Lion’s Park in Salisbury, on Bartlett Street, next to Dairy Queen in Salisbury, and on Rabbit Road in Salisbury.

“For road riders,” Lattimer said, “the State of New Hampshire Department of Transportation has a pedestrian bike website where they have mapped out lower-traffic roads. I would use those maps as guideline when planning a route. Route 1A has been named one of the top most scenic rides in the country by Bicycling Magazine.”

Latimer recommends an adventure or a cyclocross bike when it comes to exploring and sightseeing. These bike types can accommodate different sized tires, with skinny tires being best for on-road riding and wider tires best for exploring the trails and off-road sections of the Seacoast.

“For years, everybody tried to be Lance Armstrong with the lightest and skinniest bikes they could find,” he said.

“The cool thing about an adventure bike is that you can have skinny 25mm tires on there for the road and then switch out for a 35mm wider — then you’ve got a gravel adventure bike.”

It’s important to be prepared for certain situations when you’re out riding.

According to Latimer, you should learn how to fix a flat before going out, and have the proper-size equipment to do so.

Fueling your body through hydration and food is also a necessity. It’s a good idea to use a helmet and to have eye protection such as sunglasses, riding glasses or goggles of some sort.

“Eat before you’re hungry and drink before you’re thirsty, as they say,” Latimer said.

As fun as exploring is for locals and tourists alike, bicycling can be a great way to get to work and to save time and money traveling while getting some exercise in. It also seems to help support the Seacoast economy.

“Bikes equal business,” Latimer said. “Bikes bring tourism dollars into the area. Things like Route 1A get known and people will come just to ride it.”

Latimer went on to say that 30 percent of all car trips are less than three miles.

This means that taking a bicycle wherever you are trying to go could save you time fighting traffic or finding a spot to park.

“And of course it’s a lot of fun, that’s a reason it itself to be on a bike,” he said.

“I rode to Hampton and back with my friends the other night and it was great.

Not much traffic in the evening and it felt like we were out being kids again.”

GET TO KNOW

DOC NOEL, PRESIDENT OF THE HAMPTON AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

By Rob Levey

news@seacoastscene.net

How long have you been with the Chamber?

This is my 16th year as president of the Chamber.

Johnny O’s

What sort of major changes have you seen in the area your Chamber covers?

Covering an area from Seabrook to Rye with a budget very much related to tourism, one major change is all the new development in Hampton Beach, all the new condos and a $15 million park building. There has also been a lot of growth in Seabrook and many new restaurants in Hampton. These changes have driven a lot more business into the entire area. For example, you have some new businesses at the boardwalk and the retail businesses on the first floor of some of the new condos.

From the overpass in Hampton to the Galley Hatch, you now have 26 restaurants.

There has been a lot of activity and growth — it’s added a new dimension to the area.

What sort of challenges do you face as a Chamber?

Everything relates to weather, so if it’s 90 degrees and sunny you won’t be able to move. If it’s rainy and cloudy, you wouldn’t have 10 people here — that’s how major a swing it is here. Of course, you do have two different kinds of tourists here. Some come here for a night or a week and stay in the hotel rooms. The other major group are daytrippers, who are a huge aspect to what we do here. We cater to both these kinds of tourists, but must contend with the weather.

Do you collaborate with other Chambers to promote tourism?

Yes, we do. We are much more active in that aspect. Not any one Chamber owns an area. We are actually part of the Seacoast Chamber Alliance, which includes us, Rochester, Dover, Exeter, Portsmouth and Somersworth. We meet to discuss joint issues. Cooperation is great — we feel very strongly about that. We even coordinate with the Newburyport Chamber. We are all part of the greater Seacoast.

How big is your Chamber?

We have 425 businesses in our Chamber. Out of our grand total, 25 to 35 percent is tourism-related.

OPENING MID JUNE Lobster in the Rough

& Oyster Bar Rte. 1A Rye, NH

Doc Noel. Courtesy photo.

Looking ahead, what initiatives do you envision for the Chamber?

We will continue to act as a business advocacy group and work on business advocacy development. We will continue to enhance the image that has been created in recent years and build on that, too.

Smuttynose Brewing is coming into the area — that will be a big asset. We also have the work performed by the Experience Hampton downtown committee. We will also continue to put out a visitor’s guide and host our Seafood Festival after Labor Day each year.

In looking at your region, what do you think differentiates Hampton from other places?

Overall, the location of Hampton is perfect with a highway system to and from here and to the major airports. It has easy access to Boston. Hampton is beautiful and the quality of life is high, the tax rate is low, and there is a low unemployment rate. Hampton, Hampton Beach, and Seabrook have all experienced a lot of positive development and it drives tourism here and throughout the greater Seacoast region.

A whale of a time

Granite State Whale Watch readies for busy season

By Jocelyn Humelsine news@seacoastscene.net

Dedicated exclusively to whale-watching for 31 years, and in Rye for 36 years now, Granite State Whale Watch owner Peter Reynolds is in his 12th season manning the seas.

“Geographically, it’s a great spot, right in the harbor so we’re not waiting on rivers or anything to get out there. We’re on the ocean five minutes after we leave the dock,” said Reynolds.

Traveling 12 to 25 miles from Rye Harbor, the excursions are out for about four to five hours.

Situated centrally to Jeffrey’s Ledge, a 33-mile glacial deposit that extends from the coasts of Rockport almost to Cape Elizabeth, “we’re smack dab in the middle,” said Reynolds.

Which means you’ll be privy to a very productive marine habitat and a very large variety of marine mammals — humpback, finback, and minke whales weigh in at 10 to 80 tons, and the Atlantic white sided dolphin at a mere 400 to 600 pounds. And don’t forget about the seals, tuna, harbor porpoises, and, yes, sharks.

“One of the largest and also the rarest sighting was a blue whale about two years ago, and it had been 10 years since we had seen one before that. This one was about 80 feet, but they can be up to 100 feet,” said Reynolds. As the largest animal on Earth, outshining even the extinct dinosaur, a blue whale has a heart that is

said to be the size of a VW Beetle, added Reynolds.

But even if you’re not that lucky, weather permitting, you’re bound to catch the marine life in its natural habitat up close and personal. All whales are endangered species, so there’s no boring outtake.

“Ninety-nine percent of the time we see whales. Mostly the only time we won’t is weather-related, if a big fog rolls in or winds are heavy and we can’t get in to where we want to go. But it’s very rare to go out on a bluebird-sky day and not see them,” said Reynolds.

If you are in the 1 percent, Granite State Whale Watch will give you a free pass to use within two years of the date of the trip.

According to Reynolds, whales’ behavior varies greatly.

“Whales sleep at the surface because they’re mammals and need air to breathe, so if you come across a whale sleeping at the surface, a cool thing to know is that it’s only using half its brain. Whales need half their brain to stay alert to tell them to keep breathing while sleeping.”

That’s your opportunity to get a really long look.

“They can sit on the surface for up to a half hour sleeping, but other times if a whale decides it sees a great food source, it’ll dive down and you won’t see it again,” Reynolds said.

“Typically, though, whales usually stay down 5 to 10 minutes, then come up anywhere from 3 to 10 breaths at surface,”

Reynolds said.

In the spring and fall, in addition to weekend-only public whale watches, Granite State Whale Watch hosts an extensive school educational program with floating labs, school field trips and marine education. Groups can learn about birds and sea life on a whale watch, tour historic sites and wildlife at the Isles of Shoals, or see a how lobster fishermen practice their trade.

Come June 13, the excursions go into full swing on a daily basis. According to Reynolds, the last two weeks in July and the first three weeks in August are their busiest go-times.

“From here on in, the season gets busier, and weather is a big factor,” he said.

You can also charter the M/V Granite State for a private function or attend one of their special events, such as the July 4 sunset cruise to the Isles of Shoals, with great views of area fireworks.

With 80 percent of the Northeast’s whale research coming from whale watches, the excursions are beneficial to everyone. The onboard naturalists, who are affiliated with the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation, not only narrate the entire tour but also collect data via photographs and logs of what they encounter.

“We get a variety of questions [from participants], mostly in response to the information the naturalist is giving them.

Species of whales, habitats, that kind of thing,” said Reynolds.

Where every day on the water is literally an adventure, Reynolds said it’s hard to narrow it down to one favorite experience so far.

“For better or worse, it’s a different day every day,” he said.

What is your must-have riding accessory?

I’d say that my must-have riding accessory would be my phone. I can just plug in a place that I want to visit and get the directions for a good ride.

Do you listen to music while riding?

If so, what songs/artists are regularly on your playlist?

I usually just listen to the radio while I ride so it’s typically on a country station.

Do you plan on adding anything to your bike?

I have a lot of plans for my bike, but they are still in the works. I don’t want to waste precious riding time working on my bike.

What is your favorite part about riding on the Seacoast?

The views would have to be my favorite part.

What made you decide to purchase a bike?

I got my first dirt bike when I was 5 and ever since then I’ve been hooked.

I turned motorcycles into my career, so it doesn’t take much at all to convince me to buy a new one.

What is your favorite motorcycle movie or character?

My favorite motorcycle movie would have to either be On Any Sunday or The World’s Fastest Indian.

Where is a dream place for you to ride?

A dream place to ride for me would honestly be the world. Just get on a bike with gear and ride all over the world without a specific destination.

Just ride the globe.

If you could go on a bike road trip with anyone, who would that be?

I would go on a road trip with my dad. He started my motorcycle career, so one day I hope we can go on a long road trip together across the country.

CAR TALK

Car safety for rear-end collisions Dear Car Talk: I have been rearended twice in the past two years while sitting at a light, by drivers who do not bother to brake at all.

I have a huge,

By Ray Magliozzi bright-blue-and-white 1973 F-250 pickup truck (without lap belts, head rests or air bags, of course).

This truck, I would think, is hard to miss.

In both incidents, the cars that rammed into me were totaled. The last one was on a highway with occasional stoplights, and the guy (with a toddler in back) was going probably 50 mph when he failed to see neither the stoplight nor my truck sitting at it.

To make matters worse, I have a neurological condition where my brain is too big for my skull (Chiari malformation), and whiplash is terrifying, traumatic and makes the chronic headaches worse. I am having brain surgery in a few weeks. My question: The truck is for sale; what’s the absolute safest car when someone rear-ends the bejesus out of you with no warning? And also, is there a device that I can rig on my rear

bumper that will block cellphone signals of those drivers who are behind me and say, “LOOK UP”? Thanks for any advice. — Paige Yikes, Paige.

Even if you don’t have a brain condition, getting rear-ended like that is unpleasant.

Distraction is a huge problem these days. And I have to think there’s a good chance that both of those drivers were doing something other than driving when they rammed into you. My own guess would be that it involved the letters “lol.”

Even though your truck is big and blue, it’s missing something that most modern cars have: A third, center brake light.

Since 1986, all cars in the U.S. have been required to have a third brake light at eye level. Early studies showed that having one reduced rear-end collisions by 50 percent.

Of course, now people are used to it, so it’s probably less attention-grabbing than it used to be. But I’m sure it still helps.

But any new car you get will have a high, center-mounted brake light. And you can always add auxiliary brake lights, like

people have on trailers, if you want to go for overkill — which you might!

Also, your old truck has very dim brake lights, compared with what cars have today — especially compared to the LED lights some cars are using now.

Plus those cloudy, old, plastic taillight lenses have 40 years’ worth of scratches on them, making them even duller.

Any new car you get will have brighter lights, a third brake light and all kinds of safety features that your old truck doesn’t have.

Your new car will have automatic seatbelt pre-tensioners that cinch up your seat belt prior to a collision to keep you in place. You’ll get front, side and headcurtain air bags.

You probably don’t even have headrests to protect your neck in your old truck.

Every car has those now, and they’ve gotten much better in the past decade or so at preventing whiplash. So my guess is that any new, or newer, car that you get will be a huge improvement in protection for you.

I don’t know the answer to your question about which vehicle is the absolute best vehicle in which to be rear-ended.

But off the top of my head, if money were not an object, I’d recommend something like the new Volvo XC-90, which is high enough off the ground to be seen easily, and has every possible safety feature.

But without knowing your budget or your specific needs, your best bet is to start shopping for cars that suit you, and then check out their safety ratings at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s website: iihs.org.

Look up the car’s overall safety ratings first (since you could have a different kind of accident next time). Then, if you click on “Print Full Report for This Vehicle” and scroll down, you’ll also find separate ratings for “Head Restraints and Seats.” Those are the most relevant to rear-end collisions.

Then make sure your head restraint is properly adjusted. You want it no more than about 2 inches from the back of your head.

And then put a big, yellow-and-black “Caution, Cargo Includes C4, Explodes on Impact” sign on the back of your car and hope for the best, Paige. Good luck with everything!

Eat, drink and save seals

Community rallies around marine life at science center fundraiser

By Jocelyn Humelsine news@seacoastscene.net

Eat, drink and be merry under the Odiorne Point State Park seaside tent at the Seacoast Science Center’s third annual Sippin’ for Seals fundraiser, on Thursday, June 16, from 6 to 9 p.m.

With all proceeds benefiting the center’s Marine Mammal Rescue Program, every single facet of the event has been donated by the seacoast community — all the food and drink, live music, entertainment options, lighting, raffle items, decorations, tents and bartenders. If it’s there, it’s been donated.

According to Karen Provazza, the marketing director for the Seacoast Science Center, the seal rescue campaign takes about $80,000 to run each year, for staff training and responding as well as public education efforts.

“We do a lot of community education and outreach, and we cannot raise the money without community support,” she said.

“The event is our signature fundraiser, in its third year this year. All the restaurants who have donated their time and food will be present for the festivities.”

While the food details have yet to be finalized, the restaurants will be showcasing some of their favorite dishes, including chowder, fish, meat and veggie tapas, antipasto plates and a dessert bar, to name a few.

“It’s small bites, tapas. All the vendors, whether serving seafood or otherwise, will be using locally sourced ingredients,” said Provazza.

Among the vendors are Mombo Restaurant, whose house-made charcuterie and creative seafood entrees pack the restaurant nightly; Blue Mermaid, where the Caribbean-inspired fare is as eclectic as its extensive cocktail offerings, such as its Guava Lava, Tini Bikini, or Mango Lime

Gimlet to warm your insides; and Las Olas Taqueria, with locations in Exeter, Hampton and Wells, offering a great selection of gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan choices.

Other food vendors include Foster’s Clambakes and Catering, Boston Beer Company, Lindt Chocolatier, River House Restaurant, Seaport Fish, Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside, Take Away Café and Wicked Sweet Sugar Boutique.

According to Provazza, this year the Atlantic Grill will be engineering a specialty cocktail exclusively for the event, the contents of which will remain a mystery until that day.

All food and drinks are included in the ticket price.

While you’re sampling some of the Seacoast’s finest bites, the Crab Shack Band, who has a huge fan base around the coast, will play a wide range of cover songs to get everyone up and dancing to the drums, guitar and female vocalists.

And to up the fun ante, the event will host TapSnap, an interactive photo entertainment system interface that takes all sorts of interesting pictures with the slide of your finger. Also on offer is a Heads or Tails raffle, tickets to which can be purchased ahead of time online.

“We’ve come up with different fun ways to raise money throughout the night.

There’s a wine and beer raffle, which you can sign up for online as well. Every single ticket is a winner. You get a bottle from the wall, and it could be worth $10 or $100,” said Provazza.

The festive, breezy atmosphere is in contrast to the very serious aim of the Marine Mammal Rescue Program.

“A big part of the program is to educate the public on what to do and not to do.

Another really important part is collecting data, which is input into a national database. Seals are indicator species. They’re swimming in the same water as us and eating the same fish as us. We do indicator tracking,” said Provazza.

Protected by federal law, the seal may be cute, but you should never come too near.

Stay at least 100 feet away.

“We’re in mid harbor seal pup season, where the mom leaves the seals on the shore and goes to fish. If a human or another animal comes near the pup, the mom won’t come back, she’ll abandon the pup because she senses danger,” said Provazza.

In 2014 the Marine Mammal Rescue team was called on 74 times; in 2015 its number of cases doubled to 146, 142 of which were seals, according to Provazza.

“If you want to know the seal species handled, 120 were harbor seals, 7 were grey

seals, 11 were harp seals, which are basically winter visitors from northern regions such as Canada, and four were unknown,” she said.

The majority of harbor seals who come ashore in the fall, Provazza said, seem to suffer from failure to thrive: “It’s colder, and they may not know how to fish yet.

Their immune systems are at their weakest and they’re more susceptible to disease.”

The rescue team’s mission is to ensure the seals are safe from all harm, which means when they get a call that a seal is on the beach, barring any immediate injury or imminent danger, the crew of volunteers maintains a 24-hour watch.

“We do have five people on staff who are trained at marine rescue and who work here at the Seacoast Science Center. Then we have a whole crew of volunteers who go out and assess the situation and stand guard to protect the seals during that time. They put up signage and tape,” Provazza said.

After monitoring on-site, the team makes a decision to transfer the seal to a rehabilitation facility, especially if it’s a pup and there’s no sign of the mom returning. There are, however, only two seal rehabs in the general area, and they’re not close — one on Buzzards Bay in Massachusetts and the other in Connecticut.

“We don’t interfere with the seals but monitor them for at least 24 hours before moving. If possible, we always want to see a seal go back into its natural habitat. There have been cases where we’ve relocated seals to a less populated area, to keep out of harm’s way from crowds,” Provazza said.

Every rescue is worth this care and attention. Take their mascot, Belmont the Harbor Seal, whom you’ll see in human-costume furry form at the event.

“Belmont was the first seal rescued by the Marine Mammal Rescue team to be successfully rehabilitated and set back in the wild, in 2014,” said Provazza. Rescued in springtime off the beach in Hampton Harbor, the pup spent four months in rehabilitation and was released at Scusset Beach State Reservation in Sandwich, Massachusetts.

As of the beginning of June, there were tickets still available to Sippin’ for Seals.

And this is the last year to join the Cyrus and Bobbie Sweet challenge; since its 2014 inception, the Sweets have been matching donations dollar for dollar up to $20,000.

Check out the Marine Mammal Rescue list of needs to donate online.

Tickets are $50 per person, and you must be at least 21 years old to enter. For more information on this event or the Marine Mammal Rescue Program, visit seacoastsciencecenter.org.

fun way to try something new for free.

The Scene spoke to owner Julie Baker about what makes a great wine and cheese pairing, what sets Baron Forrester apart and why Baron Forrester is a great place to learn about wine and cheese.

YOUR FUTURE STARTS AT

What is a necessary skill when operating a wine and cheese shop?

Enjoying wine and cheese is really important, of course. Baking the bread requires some baking skills. Liking people, chatting and the social component of it all is really big. You have to be able to sort of listen to customers and to what they like and match their expectations with our offerings.

What is your personal favorite wine and cheese pairing?

I am a huge German wine fan. I love a dry riesling with a delicious blue cheese, like a nice beautiful Spanish blue or any blue cheese really.

SNHU

Would you say that Baron Forrester is good place to learn about wine?

Absolutely. We always have bottles open, always sampling, and [we’re] always sampling all the cheeses in the case so everybody knows exactly what they are getting. Our varieties are some-

thing that maybe people haven’t had before since we have a lot from small estates and farms. It’s a place to taste flavors people have never had before.

If you could serve any celebrity, who would that be?

Dolly Parton.

What is your favorite thing about being on the Seacoast?

This is a little bit of a trick question because I live in Claremont and I’m very new to the Seacoast, but I think that people on the Seacoast have been really receptive to new wines and trying different cheeses. The people are really open to new tastes, and that’s really exciting. Other places people are a little more entrenched in what they know — here I found that everybody is very open to new things. If I tell a red wine drinker that they have to try this white Bordeaux, everybody gives it a try.

Father’s Day fun

Wine and beer events for Dad

By Stefanie Phillips

news@seacoastscene.net

In May, I detailed some ideas for Mother’s Day, so it seems only fair to talk about some ideas for Father’s Day. Here are some wine, beer and spirit ideas you can enjoy with your own dad, husband or other significant dad in your life.

Wine events

Come Visit Exeter’s Newest Wine Cellar Specializing in Exclusive & Restaurant Only Wines & some of your favorites too!

Jewell Towne Vineyards in South Hampton is offering another special event. This one is a Father’s Day wine and beer tasting on June 19 from noon to 4 p.m. They are partnering with Newburyport Brewing Co. and Metzy’s Taqueria. No reservations are required; just show up ready to enjoy yourself.

Brewery tastings & tours

Breweries are another option to celebrate with dad. We have no shortage of breweries here in New Hampshire. They are nice places to enjoy a cold pint, while also taking a tour and learning more about how the beer is made.

I haven’t made it to the new Smuttynose Brewing Company location in Hampton yet, but they were recently officially LEED certified gold for their building. On Sundays, they offer tours every half hour from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. They also have the Hayseed Restaurant on site complete with, of course, more than two dozen taps.

If you don’t want to drive, Pints of Portsmouth Brew Tours and Granite State Growler Tours can plan the route and do the driving for you. This is a great way to get a group of beer-lovers together and spend the day. On Sundays, Granite State Growler Tours offers two route options. Pints of Portsmouth offers tours on weekends. Check each company’s website for specific stops.

Spirit tastings

A third option is visiting a distillery, as New Hampshire now has several. Flag Hill Winery in Lee has added “Distillery” to its name and offerings, while Haunting Whisper Vineyard in Danbury has added “Spirits” to its name and product list as well. There is

also Djinn Spirits in Nashua; Smoky Quartz Distillery in Seabrook; Sea Hagg Distillery in North Hampton; Tamworth Distilling in Tamworth; Tall Ship Distillery in Dover; Copper Canyon Distillery in Chesterfield; and New England Sweetwater Farm and Distillery in Winchester.

What I’m drinking

I am still working through the wine club bottles I got after Christmas, but overall I am really liking the variety of wines they sent based on my feedback about the sample kit. I am currently enjoying 2013 Jeanne Marie Cabernet from California. This wine has notes of tobacco, cassis, black cherry and cedar. It is slightly earthy and medium-bodied. It has a pretty smooth finish and pleasant tannins.

This cab is a perfect pairing for grilled steak, chicken and other grilled foods. Basically, it would be a good choice for a barbeque or picnic, especially if red wine fans are present. I feel like I have been drinking a lot of sweeter, lighter wines lately but sometimes I want something with a little more weight, and this wine delivers.

Shakespeare marathon

7SSC performs eight history plays in 12 hours this weekend

By Kelly Sennott

news@seacoastscene.net

The longest Shakespeare performance you’ll see in New Hampshire this summer — or, more likely, ever — is this weekend at Throwback Brewery courtesy of the Seven Stages Shakespeare Company.

On Sunday, June 12, from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m., about 80 professional actors will take on nearly 250 roles for a marathon of the bard’s history plays in order, including Richard II, Henry IV, Parts I and II, Henry V, Henry VI, Parts I, II and III, and Richard III. All scripts have been cut to 90 minutes, courtesy of company Artistic Director Dan Beaulieu and Managing Director Kevin Condardo. Actors will perform with a beer in one hand, script in the other.

“Left completely uncut, it would probably take about 24 hours straight,” Condardo said via phone. “And that wouldn’t be fun for anyone. The goal is to squeeze it all in, from sunrise to sunset. We’ve streamlined a lot of stuff and condensed the stories.

Hopefully Shakespeare will forgive us.”

The only actor performing in all eight is Bruce Pingree, general manager of The Press Room, where 7SSC frequently reads the bard’s work in this ShakesBEERience style.

Pingree will play the messenger delivering the bad news, which inevitably happens in all these stories — hence the event’s name, ShakesBEERience: Messenger Day. Beaulieu, Condardo and co-founder ProSee ShakesBEERIENCE: Messenger Day Where: Throwback Brewery, 7 Hobbs Road, North Hampton When: Sunday, June 12, from 7 a.m. to 8:15 p.m.

Admission: Free or pay what you will; it’s best to reserve tickets ahead of time online for individual plays or the whole day; audience members can come for as much or little as their schedules allow Contact: 7stagesshakespeare.org; visit the site to register and get tickets via the eventbrite page

ducing Director Christine Penney came upon the idea a few years ago and decided to save it for spring 2016, the 400th anniversary of the bard’s death. They began cutting six months ago — a process Beaulieu compared to “grooming an overgrown garden” — and they said seeing these stories backto-back offers more continuity and character development than you’d notice reading or watching them one at a time.

“They’re written basically as one unit, but it’s so rare to see them presented that way,” Beaulieu said. “One of the challenges is, I would cut something, and then a scene or three scenes, or sometimes a play and a half later, they’d reference that event, and then we’d have to go back.”

Audiences get to see Henry V as a loose cannon as a young prince in Henry IV and then as a serious ruler in Henry V. And they notice characters they might not have before.

“There’s this character Warwick — he’s a character in all three of the Henry IV plays, and in each individually, it’s not a great part, but seeing them put together, there’s

an amazing character arc he goes through.

When you see what they’re doing over the course of their life and inevitable death, it’s really interesting,” Condardo said.

It’s also fun for the trio because, for once, they can cast themselves as kings and not feel bad because there are so many roles to fill. Beaulieu will be Henry V, Penney will be Richard II and Condardo will be Richard III. If weather permits, the plays will happen outdoors near the brewery’s garden; if it rains, they’ll be inside in the restaurant.

Owners Annette Lee and Nicole Carrier will open doors right at 7 a.m. and serve a variety of food based in English tradition — Carrier named off biscuits, bangers and mash, sausage, grilled tomatoes, fish and chips, though they were still pinning down the exact menu at the time of the call.

And on tap starting that morning will be “ShakesBEERs.” One is witt-based with lemon thyme, the other a Belgian-style abbey ale.

Throwback has been the sponsor the past two seasons, ever since the company per-

formed Richard III in its parking lot after the real-life Richard III’s bones were discovered in a parking lot.

“We’ve worked with those guys in the past, and we just absolutely love having them here. Even if you don’t understand what they’re saying, you can’t help smile because everyone’s having a good time. If they’re willing to perform for that many hours, we’re willing to support them,” Carrier said via phone.

Neither Beaulieu nor Condardo were as familiar with the history plays as the classics before this year, but looking at them back-to-back adds new dimension.

“These plays are not so much about kings and wars as they are about human beings and relationships. … I used to have this idea that the history plays were boring, basic re-enactments of battles, but really, they’re psychological traumas about wearing the crown and what that means for everyone around [that person]. … It’s not unlike the ring in The Lord of the Rings,” Beaulieu said. “You see them become king, and they’re just radically different.”

While most writers live by the timeLike so many others, I love Pride and Prejudice. I love sweet Jane’s naive- less advice “show, don’t tell,” Sittenfeld

has decided to buck convention and proceeds to tell us every single detail of each interaction. We are left to create nothing in our minds and just like when a lecturer reads from his slides instead of inviting us to think about his topic and form our own conclusions, I found myself (quite literally) falling asleep. Here’s just a short example of Sittenfeld’s heavy hand at writing.

Jane joined her. “I take it Chip is the tall, dark, and handsome one?”

Charlotte Lucas said, “No, Chip is the guy in the seersucker shorts. The tall, dark, and handsome one is his friend Fitzwilliam Darcy, who joined the stroke center at the University of Cincinnati last year as a neurosurgeon. The rumor is he’s also single, but he’s kind of standoffish. He and Chip went to medical school together.” Charlotte turned to Jane. “Did you really never watch Eligible when Chip was on?”

“She never watched any of Eligible,” Liz said. “She’s like a unicorn.”

“Oh, Chip’s season was fantastic,” Charlotte said. “There was an actual physical fight involving ripped-out hair

extensions.”

Mary, who had caught up to her mother’s car on the drive out, said, “I find Eligible degrading to women.”

“So you’ve mentioned.” Liz glanced at Charlotte. “Did you say Chip’s friend’s name is Fitzwilliam, and if so, did he just sail over on the Mayflower?

And so it goes on and on and on and on.

It all pales in comparison to Austen’s skill as a writer.

I tried. I really did try to like this book.

But I couldn’t. It’s contrived, it doesn’t make sense and it’s modernized to the point of being ridiculous (paleo crab cakes, anyone?). The characters are flat and in many cases utterly obnoxious. You don’t want anyone to win as much as you just want them to go away.

Just as it was with the Willy Wonka movie, some pieces of work do not need to be redone. The original Pride and Prejudice is as delightful to read today as it was when it first came out. If, for some reason, you haven’t read Austen’s novel, do yourself a favor and read the original instead of wasting your money on Eligible.

Also, I’m not a prude, but the excessive use of vulgar language and sexual innuendos make this book something I wouldn’t recommend to either my daughters or my mother. D — Wendy E. N. Thomas

& THE ANIMALS EDGAR WINTER Saturday, July 23

A dozen years ago, Brooks Young began playing out as a teenage blues disciple, inspired by backstage guitar tips from B.B. King. Since then, he’s shared stages with regional heroes like J. Geils, James Montgomery and members of Aerosmith.

He’s opened for Pat Benatar, Huey Lewis and Dave Matthews Band violinist Boyd Tinsley.

Inevitably, Young’s music evolved. Following 2010’s faithful Counting Down — featuring guest star Johnny A. on the title cut — pop elements arrived in 2013 with Time to Fly. Later, the 2015 single “Why Can’t We” was infused with alt country twang.

What the Night Knows, the edgy new EP from Brooks Young Band — guitarist Young, keyboard player Jeff LeRoy, bassist Todd Walle and Tony Interlande on drums — rocks harder than ever. Standouts on the five-song effort released May 27 are “I Swear” and “Restless.” Both feature fullthroated Young vocals; on the latter, he flashes a blistering guitar solo helped by some new gear provided by co-producer Josh Kimball’s Jellyfish Electronics.

“Josh says, ‘You know, I started this company ... check out this pedal,’” Young said in a recent phone interview. “I’m pretty picky, but I used that damn thing for the whole album. It’s called a Lucky Penny and has two options, heads and tails. I have some pretty expensive overdrive pedals, and that one right there wins the prize for best one.”

Until Kimball’s suggestion, the ambiBrooks Young Band

tious rocker pronounced himself “bored” with the song. “‘Restless’ [was] my least favorite because I was just strumming a G chord and I’ve never played that way,” he said. “It’s the only one of the bunch where I play a guitar solo; it’s the Lucky Penny with an Eric Clapton Fender Stratocaster.”

NEMA Producer of the Year Brian Coombes worked with Kimball on the project and plays on a few tracks; Coombes produced both of Young’s long-players.

Making the disc was an efficient process and more collaborative this time around.

“This winter we honed down and worked on writing good songs,” Young said. “It was a group effort; I gave them chord progressions and lyrics as my thoughts and they added to it. Everybody has their own personality and it shows in the sound.”

The band will celebrate the new record with a release show on June 10 at Portsmouth’s Press Room.

“We’re doing the five new songs right away,” said Young. “I love playing downtown Portsmouth, and the Press Room is great. I hear they have a new sound system and new people doing the music.”

Along with playing guitar, Young is branching out; he has a bit part in the

upcoming Ghostbusters movie.

“I’m in a scene with Leslie Jones,” he said. “We worked 12 hours a day for two days ... and [Director] Paul Feig did a great job. He showed up in a fancy suit carrying a walking cane.”

Young’s maturation as a lyricist is evident on the disc-closer (and first single) “We Were Young.” The world-weary midtempo rocker features LeRoy playing a Brian Wilson-like theremin intro. “Falling down can be so hard,” sings Young. Now a veteran musician and father of a young child, he sometimes feels at a crossroads career-wise.

“The music business is a fickle thing and it changes by the minute; there have been instances in the past year where I thought about kind of taking a back seat with it and seeing what else I could do with my life,” he said.

Early response to the new disc buoys him, however.

“I just love playing guitar and making music; the past few days I’ve gotten more hits on my website than I can count and these songs are going better than I expected and getting publicity. That’s what I wanted.”

WHEN YOU WIN THE LOTTERY, WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU’RE GOING TO BUY AND HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

By 2009, when Zimbabwe’s central bank gave up on controlling inflation, its largest currency was the 100 trillion-dollar bill, barely enough for bus fare in Harare and not even worth the paper needed to print it. However, “Definitely a Ferrari 458 Italia. White that 100 trillion-dollar note (that’s “1” plus with a black interior with white stitching.

Australia!

(1) Yahoo News Australia reported (with photos) a man in Tallebudgera Creek on the country’s Gold Coast swimming with his pet snake. The man, standing chest-deep in water, would toss the snake (apparently a carpet python) a few feet and, according to the videos, the snake would swim back to him each time. (In the man’s other hand, of course: beer.)

(He also won a companion game of backgammon to determine who would pay for the original surgery.) He told news sources in May that he had intended to have them removed early on, but that they had “grown on” him and become “a normal part of my life.”

Perspective

The president of the New England Organ Bank told U.S. News & World Report recently that she attributes the enormous upsurge in donations in recent years to the opiod “epidemic” that has produced a similarly enormous upsurge in fatal overdoses. Now, one out of every 11 donated organs comes as a result of the overdosing that in 2014 claimed over 47,000 lives.

Nature 2, Florida 0

(1) Nicole Bjanes, casually zipping along Interstate 4 in Volusia County around noon on May 9, saw a red-eared slider turtle come sailing through the air and crash into her windshield, sending her car off the road. The Florida Highway Patrol said the turtle had become airborne after being hit by another car. (It was apparently unhurt and swam away when a firefighter released it into a nearby pond.) (2) On May 10, police in Key West responded to a caller at the scene of a giant banyan tree (common to Florida and featuring vertical roots that thicken, spread and become entangled with the central trunk). A woman had attempted to climb the tree but had fallen among the vertical roots, making her barely visible. Said a proud police spokesperson, “They popped her out like a cork.”
