A WORD FROM LARRY

Visit downtown Hampton

Master McGrath’s

We’re trying something new in this week’s paper. I have been a resident of Hampton for 30 years and our downtown has changed a lot in that time. You as a visitor or local have probably driven through downtown Larry Marsolais Hampton and have no idea what it has to offer. So in this issue on pages 24 and 25, there is a pull-out section of businesses that welcome you to visit them and discover downtown Hampton. It’s about 10 minutes from the main stage at Hampton Beach. Whether you are a visitor or local, maybe plan a half day to stop in and visit our great downtown. You might be amazed to find places that you had no idea existed.

The best part of this journey is that there’s free parking — no meters, no time running out. Park at the town parking lot on High Street and everything downtown is within a 10-minute walk and easily accessible from the parking lot. As this is our Fourth of July issue, enjoy that cookout, trip to the beach, family gettogether and fireworks, but please be safe. This is a long weekend for many and the driving will be slow, so take your time so you get to your destination safely. Summer is here, so let’s all enjoy it. Happy Fourth of July! As always, I would love to hear from our readers. Feel free to call me any time at 603-935-5096 to discuss local issues or to place an ad. Larry Marsolais is the general manager of the Seacoast Scene and the former president of the Hampton Rotary Club.

Exercise your mind

Adults encouraged to read all summer long By Vinny Manfrate

vinny@seacoastscene.net

Why should kids have all the fun? While the Lane Memorial Library in Hampton offers a summer reading program for the younger and teenage library goers, this summer it’s also holding an adult reading program, called Exercise Your Mind — Read! The idea is to challenge adult readers to get some summer reading done while earning tickets toward weekly prizes and an end-of-summer grand prize. “Any adult with a Lane Memorial Library card can begin the program at any time before we pick the final prize winners at the beginning of September,” said Head of Public Services Darrell Eifert. Readers can pick up or print out their choice of two prize cards with fiction or nonfiction book choices. These cards feature blocks of categories such as “Any Novel Set in New England,” “A Forgotten Classic” or “About New England History” and many more. “The idea of nudging our [adult readers]

to read a bit outside their normal comfort zone emerged back in 2008, when we first came up with the idea of providing reading ‘bingo’ cards,” Eifert said. “We have expanded the program since then to include additional prizes and incentives.” Each book you read will earn you a raffle ticket toward a weekly prize of Barnes & Noble and Regal Cinema gift cards and a chance at the end-of-summer grand prize of FitBits for two winners. Completing five squares on a card will get you a Lane Library water bottle. Completing an entire card wins you 15 extra tickets. “The library adds thousands of new books, movies, ebooks and audiobooks to our collection every year, Eifert said. “Our staff is always willing to help guide readers of any age to the perfect book choice. We believe that the lazy days of summer are a perfect time to catch up with a beloved author or series, branch out into a new genre or explore new ideas or interests.” The library host a variety of lectures and events throughout the summer as part of their program. Up next is Steve Blunt

with “Liberty is our Motto” on Wednesday, July 6, at 6:30 p.m. Blunt portrays John Hutchinson, the founding member of the Hutchinson Family Singers, who were popular in New Hampshire in the 19th century. Blunt will share stories about the Hutchinson family as well as some of their most popular songs. J. Dennis Robinson will be at the library on Wednesday, July 20, for “Who Won the War of 1812” at 6:30 p.m., followed by Stephen Hale for “Birds of the White

Mountains” on Wednesday, Aug. 3, at 6:30 p.m., and Carl Lindblade’s “New Hampshire: A State of Mind” on Wednesday, Aug. 24, at 1 p.m.

Make your own fun in the sun

You don’t have to spend big money to have fun on the beach. Inspired by the inaugural Hampton Summer Games happening Wednesday, July 6, the Scene found a few ways to actively enjoy being in the sun and sand.

Hampton Summer Games 2016

The Hampton Summer Games are making their debut this year, on Wednesday, July 6, at Hampton Beach near the Seashell Stage. Activities like bubble soccer, a jumpin’ bungee, sand castle lessons and volleyball will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with entertainment at the Seashell Stage that evening, followed by fireworks. Put on by the Hampton Park and Recreation Division, Hampton Beach Village District, New Hampshire State Parks and Experience Hampton, the free event was created to draw crowds to the beach the week after the Fourth of July. “People have different work schedules than they used to,” said John Kane of the Hampton Beach Village District. “This consequently leads to a drop in attendance at the beach. We wanted to introduce another activity during the week.” Kane expects there to be a few kinks to work out throughout the day as this is the first year of the games, but that won’t affect the enjoyment of the summer games for beachgoers, he said. He anticipates crowds at the bubble soccer “field.” “The contestants or players are wrapped in big bubble wrap,” he said. “They bump into each other, fall down and have to get back up. It’s a lot of fun. It’s played often around New England and is a relatively new and very fun idea.” The jumpin’ bungee will have kids attached to a harness in a trampoline where they can challenge themselves to

see how high they can leap into the air. Lines are expected for the bungee jump as well as for sand castle lessons with sand sculpting expert Greg Grady. “The sand castle experts can only teach so many kids at a time, but it will be worth it,” Kane said. “People can also sit in the audience and enjoy the entertainment as well.” Along with a free concert and fireworks at the end to cap off the day’s festivities that night, Experience Hampton will be handing out free water and ice cream throughout the day. “It will be a great day from 10 in the morning to 9:30 at night. We’ll see how it goes. If the weather is good, it will be a great success and we are really excited about it,” Kane said. “We have so many free things going on down here all the time to make your vacation dollar go further and further.”

Try something new

It doesn’t have to be an officially designated day for you to hold your own version of the Hampton Summer Games during a day trip to the beach. Here are a few game suggestions outside of the normal frisbee, volleyball or football, and the rules to play them. Most of these games can be found at a local department or sports store or you can get crafty and make them yourself.

Kan Jam According to the official Kan Jam website, Kan Jam is a game involving a frisbee, four friends and two “kans” with a small slot cut out of each kan. The cans should be placed about 50 feet away from each other with teammates directly across from each other at opposing kans. Teammates will take a turn being a thrower and then a deflector. The thrower tosses the frisbee toward the kan. The thrower will try to hit the kan; if the thrower misses, the deflector will then try to hit the frisbee so that it “dings” off the kan or slam dunks the frisbee into the

An instant win is when a thrower throws the frisbee through a slot on the kan. One point is awarded when the deflector dings the frisbee off the kan. Two points (a deuce) are awarded when the thrower gets a direct hit on the kan. Three points are awarded when the deflector “buckets” or slam dunks the frisbee into the kan through the open top.

spikeball ball and four players. Teams of two line up across from one another. As in volleyball, there is a server. The server must be six feet from the net in order to serve. The ball must clearly hit and bounce off the net after the serve; if the serving team does not accomplish this, they lose a point. Returners can be any distance from the net. After the ball is in play, each team gets up to three touches to return (bounce off the net) the ball. Touches must alternate between teammates (again similar to volleyball) and you can use any part of your body to “touch,” but you cannot use two hands at once. Once the ball is in play, players can move wherRACHEL GONZALEZ ever they’d like to try and hit the ball off the net in a way so that the opposing team cannot return, thus earning the hitting team a point.

Fun fitness

Not only does the beach provide a fun place to relax and enjoy the summer sun, but you can get a good workout in as well. Getting fit on the sand can be fun and exciting ways for the entire family, children and adults alike. “Playing games like volleyball, wiffle ball and relays are great opportunities to get moving, strengthen muscles and use up energy,” said Rachel Gonzalez of Snap Fitness in Hampton, N.H.

According to Dan Kinsella of Sea Change Fitness, any game that keeps you moving is the key to getting a good workout on the beach. “Games like football or tag are the best,” he said. “Constant motion is the key. Anything that gets your heart rate accelerated and sustaining that heart rate.” According to Gonzalez, these games not only require mental concentration, skill and tactics to work your mind, but they also force your muscles to work against resistance, which builds core balance and stability. “Running on sand tones and strengthens leg muscles,” she said. “While throwing reinforces arms, back and abs.” Not only are you playing and exercising at the beach on a sunny day, but you are also changing your normal fitness or physical activity environment, specifically from grass or pavement to the sand. “Training in new environments like sand challenges your mind and muscles to adapt,” Gonzalez said, “making your workout instantly more effective than working out on flat, firm terrain. The other benefit is it decreases impact on your joints.” “Being in the sand, there is definitely an instability there,” Kinsella said. “That’s a challenge in that sense.” Overall, the beaches on the Seacoast and the active games that you can play there make for a great way to get out of the house for the entire family. According to Kinsella, the beach is a great environment for physical activity. “Walking, jogging, whatever you enjoy,” he said. “They key to success in fitness is to make it sustainable for the long term. If you make it enjoyable, you’ll sustain your goals.” “The best part is you get a great tan while engaging different muscle groups and burning a ton of calories,” Gonzalez said. 16

After doing flips off the Seashell Stage walkway onto the beach, Nate, Riley and Curtis from Westfield, Mass., spoke about their favorite beach activities.

“I like playing football. Playing kan jam is always fun and just doing handstands in the sand.” — Nate

“Obviously, I like to do flips, but football and kan jam are pretty dope.” — Riley

SATURDAY, July 23rd at 8-11pm

If you’ve ever heard a meditation tape of waves lapping the shore, letting the sea sounds calm you, just imagine how inspiring practicing yoga on the beach must be — and there’s no bigger swimming hole to cool off in after a solid workout.

Jenness Beach yoga

Michele McCauley, owner of The Pilates Room in Portsmouth, is starting her ninth season teaching summer beach yoga on Jenness State Beach in Rye as well as other outdoor venues. “The beach and all of outdoors touch each of your senses and bring about a sense of calm, joy and peace. These surroundings bring you to the present moment, and in yoga we want to be present-minded to enjoy the best self-awareness,” McCauley said. Passionate about fitness since she was a teenager, McCauley has been studying movement therapy, especially yoga and pilates, for about 17 years now. “I was inspired to teach others once I saw and heard how I was an inspiration to their own fitness and healthy lifestyle. It is very fulfilling to watch my students reap all the benefits of both practices,” she said. The fact that it’s summer doesn’t mean we can all revert to our childhoods of miles of open space and endless days of free time. “Yoga leaves everyone feeling blissful and relaxed; it’s therapeutic. Looking at the ocean while breathing through your Warrior I is a powerful mental adjustment,” said McCauley, who added that it can leave you feeling rejuvenated for the rest of the week. With no sign-ups needed for the 6 p.m. Monday evening sessions at Jenness

Sawyers Beach yoga

To the right of Jenness Beach, on Sawyers Beach, Magnolia Barrett, owner of Namaste New Hampshire Beach Yoga, runs sunset yoga classes Mondays and Tuesdays from 6 to 7 p.m., plus morning classes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:15 to 8:15 a.m. As with McCauley’s class, no reservation is required and the fee is $10. “I grew up a block away. My best memories are from being on this beach, which gives the classes a layer of presence and appreciation. I lived in Hawaii three years ago, and honestly the beaches of New Hampshire are just as beautiful. The sand is different, that’s all. The coolest thing for me at the beginning of summers is that I’m more connected to the times of day, my natural surroundings. Being attuned like that makes a difference,” Barrett said. Part of the yoga philosophy, according to Barrett, is that the best place to practice is next to water. “With beach yoga, you can have a consistent practice. Actually the sand is really nice and makes practicing better. Yoga is all about stabilizing, so being on uneven terrain helps teach that. And the sand is comfortable; if you fall out of pose it doesn’t hurt,” she said. Having trained on the beaches of Hawaii, Barrett knew when she moved back to New Hampshire she wanted to bring her passion

for yoga and her passion for the Rye community together on this beach. “It’s everything I’ve ever wanted, like a dream come true. I’ve never felt happier. It’s magical — the colors of the sky, the sounds, the tranquility. This is why people live here all year. It allows you to be present, in the moment. My breath gets taken away every single time I teach a class,” Barrett said. Visit facebook.com/NHbeachyoga for more information.

Wild Vibes Festival

Namaste is hosting its third annual Wild Vibes Festival, the only one of its kind in New Hampshire, on Sunday, July 17, from noon to 6 p.m. “It brings together the holistic, yoga, art and music communities,” she said. Held at Rye Harbor State Park, the event promises to be rewarding for newcomers and seasoned yogis alike. All-day live music by the Harsh Armadillo band and art displays and wares will make for an inspiring setting to the numerous workshops also held all day long — try different types of yoga, belly dancing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), SUP yoga or inversion, all with the help of the Seacoast’s top yoga instructors. All proceeds are donated to three charities: Puresa Humanitarian, New Hampshire Kids Count and the Yoga & Cancer Seacoast Area Teachers of Yoga in Action. “It’s also a great way for people who are interested in checking out practicing by the ocean to come down and try it while supporting a great cause and being a part of the community,” Bennett said.

STATE STREET SALOON

LIANA WEBB AND JAN RICHENBURG CO-OWNERS OF PETTENGILL FARM IN SALISBURY

Sports Bar & Casual Dining

How long has the farm been in your family? Liana: Since 1792. It’s very exciting to continue the legacy that the family has left. When my mother [Jan] took over the business in 1982, she brought in plants. Before, it was vegetables and animals. It’s exciting to take over what she is doing. Jan: When we bought the farm from my parents, my dad was retired at the time. He had a pick-your-own flower garden. I didn’t know much about the business. When I grew up, it really was all about the vegetables. With encouragement from customers and growing different things, this is what has evolved. Do you know a lot about your family’s earliest history? Liana: My mother has a lot of information about the farm’s beginnings. It’s amazing to know how long something has been in your family. It makes you want to really push hard to be successful and keep things going.

Daily 11am - 8pm

Monday: Burger Nite Starting @ $6.00

Liana, so you will eventually take over the farm from your parents? Liana: Yes, my parents are looking to retire, so I am learning the business and want to learn as much as I can. The transitioning part is the trickiest part. Every year, she steps back a little. My father and mother will always be part of the business, though — they live there.

Tuesday: Ladies Night 1/2 price drinks

Wednesday: Steak & Pasta Night Steak w/ Potatoes & Veggies $10.99 Spaghetti + Meatballs w/ garlic bread $8.99

What is it like, Jan, to experience this transition? Jan: It is bittersweet, because I know my daughter will do a fabulous job. The good thing is I’ll still be able to enjoy the plant material and to take care of it and show it off. I’ll still be involved with the plants and that is the part I enjoy the most.

GET TO KNOW

Any changes you plan to bring to the farm, Liana? Liana: We will connect back to our roots. We are raising pasture-raised organically fed pork and chicken. We are also looking to make this business year-round and trying to figure out the food movement and tap into that as well. It’s very exciting and intimidating at the same time.

SEACOAST SCENE | JUNE 30 - JULY 6, 2016 | PAGE 22

How many employees do you have at the farm? Liana: Twenty-five people, and a lot of them are part-time people. A lot of people have come here after retiring from their careers.

Liana Webb, left, and mom Jan. Courtesy photo.

How big is the farm? What differentiates it? Liana: We have 60 acres and 13 greenhouses. We try to carry the unusual and rare annuals and perennials. We believe in great customer service and try to give customers great personal care. Jan: Eighty-five percent of people who come in don’t have a grocery list. They are looking for stimulation from a person or display, which is why I like to have one-on-one, too. I want every person greeted and cared about. Liana: We also consider ourselves a flower farm of distinction. My mom is going all over New England and finding plants that will grow in our area. We try to carry what’s distinct and different and what will be successful in people’s gardens. What sort of business challenges do you face? Liana: We are always competing against the weather and always trying to introduce ideas to encourage the next generation into horticulture. We are a growing business — and this time of year, we are trying to keep up with everything we are doing. It’s very exciting. Jan: Early on, we were challenged by not being on a main road, so we did fair circuits and craft circuits and brought our dried flowers there. From that, we were

Any particular challenges in managing such a large staff? Liana: Communication is very important. We need to constantly communicate with staff — what we have, what is coming in. We want to share our passion for gardening with other people. I think the challenge is having to hire seasonal employment. I would love to have them year-round instead of constantly having to hire new staff.

Liana, did you always think you would take the farm over from your parents? Liana: I wasn’t involved in the farm growing up — my parents never pushed me to work here. I moved away with my husband and came back and started working on the farm. I learned I loved it, nature and working. I wanted to give that similar kind of experience to my children.

Do your kids help? Liana: They help out with bigger events and my brothers’ children work here. There is a lot of family involvement.

What sort of trends do you see taking place in the next 5 or 10 years? Liana: We are focusing on growing things organically — that’s the trend. My grandfather used chemicals. We now have aquaponics setup up, so we are not using chemical or fertilizer to keep our plants watered. I envision the farm continuing the annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs, while offering more events as well as continuing ... with pasture-raised chicken and pork. We’ll continue the … aquaponics and hope to offer things yearround. I see us expanding the gift shop. I want to make it financially stable to remain open year round.

CAR TALK

Which safety features are worth it? Dear Car Talk: In a recent column, you gave some advice on buying a new car. My wife and I are in a similar situation, looking for our first vehicle in about 20 years. By Ray Magliozzi We’re thinking of a small SUV — like a Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester or Mazda CX-5. But I’m unsure about the new safety features that just weren’t available the last time we were in the market for a car. A rearview camera is a must, but what about the others — blindspot alerts, bird’s-eye cameras, lane-drift alerts? Which ones are worthwhile, and which will I be kicking myself for spending the bucks on a month from now? Thanks! — Mike and Marcia They’re all worth it. A rearview camera is necessary because you can’t see out the back of most cars these days. The Forester is a rare exception. The bird’s-eye-view cameras stitch together the views from four cameras — one on each side of the car — so it looks like you’re watching from above. It makes parking and maneuvering in tight spaces much easier.

Blind-spot monitoring is a feature that you won’t believe you lived without, once you have it. It’ll seem barbaric that we used to wrench our heads all the way around backward while going 65 mph, just to check our side flanks before changing lanes. Adaptive cruise control maintains a safe distance from the car in front of you while you’re using cruise control, slowing down and speeding up as needed. Lane-departure warning reads the lines on the highway and alerts you, or even nudges the steering wheel, when you accidentally drift out of your lane. I actually enjoy drifting out of my lane, so I find that that feature disrupts my bad-driving pleasure, but it does work very well. And, perhaps most importantly, the newest technology to filter down to moderately priced cars is pre-collision warning and automatic braking. Those technologies use sensors that keep track of your distance from an object in front of you (a car that’s slowed down or stopped, or in some cases a pedestrian), and if you are not slowing down in time, it assumes you’re distracted and sets off a warning light and sound. And in the better systems, if you still don’t respond right away, it automatically

applies the brakes. Pre-collision warning and automatic braking absolutely will save lives and reduce the severity of accidents. Every car should have them. While it’s great that these technologies are filtering down to mid-priced cars, it’s unfortunate that you often can get automatic emergency braking only on the highest-end levels of cars — the versions that come with the heated leather seats and the optional butt-scratchers. So you may end up spending several thousand dollars more than you would have otherwise. But if you buy a car only once every decade or two, you might as well get the state-of-the-art safety equipment — especially when it’s as effective and life-saving as the stuff that’s coming out now. So get all of it, Mike and Marcia. You won’t kick yourself for it. Besides, in a few years, the car will kick you automatically. Dear Car Talk: How do I completely take out the third row of seats in my 2002 Acura MDX? I need to deep-clean under it, thanks to the kids. — Ashley The third row in that car is a bench seat, and it’s held in place with bolts that go into the floor. I can’t remember if there are four

or six of them. If you open the rear liftgate and follow the seat posts down to the floor, you’ll find that there’s a flap in the carpeting. If you fold it back, you’ll find bolts. The bolts come out, and then that bench can be lifted up and removed. But it’s pretty heavy. My suggestion would be: Next time you take your car in for any kind of service, ask your mechanic to remove the third row of seats for you. It’ll be easy for him to do in the shop. And he can get another guy to help him lift it out. Then have him put it aside while you take the car home, or to a local napalm factory, and steam-clean whatever disgusting bodily products your kids deposited in the carpet. When you’re done, drive back to the shop, and have him put the seat back in for you. He’ll charge you a few bucks. Or if you’re a good customer — and you come back for your seat in less than a year — he might even do it for nothing. In which case, brownies would be the appropriate payment. Just make sure the kids don’t grind them into the carpet on the way back to the shop, Ashley. Visit Cartalk.com.

Jenelle from Ocean Gaming eats at Farr’s

Open Daily for

A stroll along Ocean Boulevard at Hampton Beach will land you at a plethora of places to stop in for a cocktail and tapas after a day on the sand or for a perfect spot to watch the Wednesday night fireworks. At Bernie’s Beach Bar, open daily till 1 a.m. with a late-night menu, it’s a tropical cornucopia of fresh fruit mixers — pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, lemons, limes, bananas, mangos, strawberries — in no less than 12 cocktail creations. Try the Tequila Mockingbird, made with Avion, jalapeño, basil, watermelon, lime and agave. Between sips, bite on some lobster rangoons and conch fritters. Farther down the strip, check out one of three Ashworth by the Sea restaurants — Wharfside, the Breakers, or the rooftop Sandbar Lounge, which showcases live music and views of the ocean. Try clams steamed or on the half-shell and a dozen or so shucked oysters and wash them down with a frozen margarita. If you’ve had your fill of the beach atmosphere or are looking for something more refined, step away to downtown Hampton where two menu-savvy restaurants will wine and dine you in style. The Old Salt Restaurant at Lamie’s Inn at 490 Lafayette Road has a long history on the Seacoast (its property dates back to 1740), and so do its owners, the Higgins Family. In 1976 Nancy Higgins bought a guesthouse on J Street, and she opened the Old Salt on Ocean Boulevard in 1986. After a devastating fire in 1999, the family reopened the restaurant in its present location in 2001 and purchased the inn. Your culinary journey can start with

clam or haddock chowder, chili, or baconwrapped scallops as entry to the baked stuffed haddock with lobster sauce or King Neptune’s Feast for Two. Every type of seafood is represented in every single style. “Our most famous and biggest seller is the warm buttered lobster roll. It’s very simple but delicious,” Executive Chef Mike Higgins said. And what better way to celebrate its 30th anniversary than to create a namesake beer? “We also have our anniversary Old Salt crafted beer. The two together are just fantastic,” he said. “We have Neighborhood Beer Co. in Exeter brew the beer for us. It’s a German lager, a light, fantastic summer beer.” For the lobster, it’s a classic preparation. “We serve it warm. Steam the lobster and then sauté it quick on a flat grill with salted butter. It’s about 4¼ ounces of lobster,” Higgins said. “We use Canadian hard-shell this time of year. The meat is a lot firmer, versus local lobster now it’s shedding season. When shedding, they’re soft-shell and there is a lot of water in the meat. But we definitely do still use local lobsters right now for our specials.” Late June into July, Higgins uses Canadian hard-shell lobsters, and once July is in full swing the local lobsters once again become fantastic for all dishes, including the lobster roll. “The lobsters right now are buckling down and using all their energy to create a new shell, so they’re not eating a lot. It’s always fun to figure out that fine line, when it’s time to use the nut crackers. In colder waters, when the lobsters are bedding down, you basically need a hammer and a

chisel to open it,” he joked. If you prefer not to drink beer, the chef recommends a white wine or even a margarita to pair with his dish as well as most seafood. “For nonalcoholic, I’d lean toward a nice lemonade, like a blueberry lemonade,” he said. On another night, head over to 6 High St. to Hagan’s Grill, where owner Dora Hand is thrilled about the upcoming new wine menu, which is still under wraps and in development. In the meantime, she’s more than happy to help you select the perfect vintage from their impressive list to help reduce their stock. “We’re very excited about our new wine menu,” she said. “We are very into martinis here at the restaurant. That’s what we do the most — 007 kind of thing. It’s really cool.” With so many entrées to choose from, Hand named the grilled Atlantic salmon as her signature dish, paired with a straight-up blueberry martini. “It’s tough to narrow it down to what everyone loves the most because we have many amazing, wonderful dishes, including many gluten-free dishes,” she said. Lobster spring rolls, baked brie or a beet salad can start you off to a Mediterranean sautéed shrimp and scallop, fish and chips, or braised short rib entrée. But, according to Hand, the salmon is a must-try. The entrée consists of grilled Atlantic salmon with goat cheese, roasted garlic, fresh thyme, honey butter and wilted spinach. Hand suggests that it be paired with the “straight-up blueberry, which is Cold River blueberry vodka, muddled fresh blueberries and simple syrup.”

AT JUMPIN’ JACK’S JAVA If you’ve forgotten to grab a morning coffee or breakfast sandwich before heading out to the beach, Jumpin’ Jack’s Java has you covered. Located right across from Hampton Beach (333 Ocean Boulevard), Jumpin’ Jack’s features flavored coffee, break-

fast sandwiches, pastries, lunch items and more, inside an air-conditioned cafe room so you can relax and escape the heat for a couple minutes. The Scene spoke with Michelle Birmeas, who co-owns Jumpin Jack’s with her husband, Nick.

How long has Jumpin’ Java been open? Since 2009, so we are relatively new.

Memories are made of this...

What do you think makes Jumpin’ Java unique? I think the quality of our product. All of our pastries and baked goods are freshly baked every day. Our staff is very customer satisfaction-oriented, so we do a very a good job of taking care of customers as well as our product going out.

Once in a life time experience in a state of the art Helicopter with leather interior, air conditioning and noise canceling headphones. Breath taking “birds eye” views of the Seacoast. Receive a 10% discount on our popular Lighthouse Tour When 3 fly Monday – Thursday!

What is a necessary skill when operating a coffee shop? [You] definitely have to have customer service skills — being able to interact with customers, asking them how their day is. Also, making sure orders are correct when they are going out, so attention to detail as well. What is your personal favorite item on the menu? For a beverage, the coconut iced coffee. For a breakfast sandwich, I would have to say the Jack Attack, which is ham, egg, cheese, bacon and sausage and you can have it on a croissant or an English muffin or an assorted variety of bagels. For lunch, probably the Italian or a turkey club. What does Jumpin’ Java make to pair with coffee? We have freshly baked muffins, well over 12 assorted muffin types. We also have Danishes, donuts and scones, so there’s lots of different choices.

Coming to terms How to master wine talk By Stefanie Phillips

news@seacoastscene.net

It’s easy to pick up wine terms, but do you know what they really mean or how to use them properly? I am constantly learning something new about wine and turned to the Wine Enthusiast’s Glossary of Wine Terms for some assistance.

Taste terms

Many white wines are described as having balanced acidity. This refers to the wine’s crispness and liveliness. The wines that immediately come to mind are pinot grigio and sauvignon blanc. This is used to describe white and sparkling wines, but you would rarely call a red wine crisp. Tannins are “phenolic compounds that exist in most plants,” and in grapes they are found mostly in the pits and skins, according to Wine Enthusiast. Simply put, tannins are most noticeable when you swallow a wine. Wines with more tannins make your mouth feel cottony and dry. Drier wines have more tannins, so knowing what kind of wine you like can help you choose wines with lighter or stronger tannins. Red wines are sometimes called astringent, for the harsh, drying sensation the tannins can leave in the mouth. When the tannins are felt on the back of the tongue, a wine may be called bitter. A wine’s body refers to its mouth feel, fullness or viscosity. I typically think of pinot noir as a lighter-bodied red; chianti, merlot and cabernet as medium- to full-bodied, and super Tuscan blends and zinfandel as full-bodied reds. Full-bodied wines are also called “big” wines. There are a variety of adjectives used to describe mouth-feel, including smooth, rough, velvety and dry. You can also describe a wine’s texture, which goes along with mouth-feel, but texture is usually reserved for bigger, heavier, denser wines, which also have more weight. Anyone who doesn’t think they like red wines should start with a lighter-bodied red and work their way up. There are several great red varietals that will not overwhelm the palate and have smooth, light tannins. A wine’s length notes how long its flavors stay in the mouth. This is not to be confused with finish, which speaks to the flavors and feeling left in the mouth after the wine is swallowed. There are many terms used to describe a wine’s actual taste, from earthy, fruity, smoky and oaky to rough and spicy (the majority of these used to describe red wines). White wines may be described as stemmy, acidic, lemony, crisp, citrusy, etc.

Smell

As I have understood it, a wine’s aroma refers to the scent from its grapes and the scent of the wine itself. This is usually reserved for younger wines, like moscato. This is different from a wine’s bouquet, which is used to describe the complex aromas in aged wines. Think zinfandel or an aged Italian red blend. However, Wine Enthusiast calls aroma a component of the bouquet or nose, and the bouquet a sum of a wine’s aromas. Often you will hear someone describe a wine’s nose. This is very simply how a wine smells and this can be different from its aroma, bouquet and taste, though according to Wine Enthusiast it is synonymous with bouquet so I guess that is up for debate. A sauvignon blanc may have a nose of grapefruit or peach, while a red wine might have a blackberry or dark fruit nose. It’s important to develop your own opinion about a wine’s nose, so you don’t convince your nose it is smelling something just because it is in the wine’s description.

Other wine terms

If a wine is described as complex, it is because it has several aromas, flavors and odors that make it multi-dimensional. This goes along with a wine’s structure, or combination of fruit, tannins, alcohol and acidity. When a wine’s oak, tannins, fruit and other elements come together well, the wine is called balanced. If wine sticks itself to the inside of a glass after drinking or swirling, it is said to have legs. These are the little noticeable lines, typically seen in red wines. A wine’s vintage refers to a particular wine business year or specific harvest. Some years are known for having outstanding vintages and those wines may be aged and then sold for large amounts of money. The amount of grapes harvested in a particular year is known as the yield.

If you don’t know Judy Blume for her adult bestsellers like Summer Sisters and Wifey, you probably do for her children’s and young adult books — Blubber, Tales of a FourthGrade Nothing and Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. The author, now 78, visits The Music Hall in Portsmouth July 14 to talk about her latest project, In the Unlikely Event, based on a real series of plane crashes that occurred in 1951 and 1952 in her hometown, Elizabeth, New Jersey. Blume observed the events as a teenager, but she tells the story from a sea of newspaper articles and characters who, throughout the crashes, experience love, loss, growth and betrayal. She spoke from her Key West home a few weeks before the trip about how this is really her last novel (probably) and about researching, writing and running a bookstore with her writer husband George Cooper.

bombarded by stories about it. I don’t think I really read the newspaper then. … I didn’t see anything firsthand. I did know that my father, who was a dentist, I did know that after his office hours ended, he went to the morgue, and he was identifying victims by their dental records. But no adult ever spoke to any kid I know about it, and certainly not to me, not at home, not at school. … I was an anxious kid, and you would think I would have been really worried about it as it happened again and again. … But we just went on. What did you do first? The first step was to read everything I could get my hands on. … I was able to digitize a lot of newspaper stories, and that made it all easier, and I guess for three months I just read, read, read. … In every newspaper story, I found scenes for the fictional story I was telling. That was the best fun I’ve ever had writing. I said, ‘I’m never writing another book without research again. This is cool!’ My husband said, ‘But once you have all the research, you still have to write the book,’ which is true. … I had a lot of my own memories, but I learned so much, and what I learned was so essential to … making a novel out of something that really happened.

was the managing editor, and I would throw them back at him, and say, ‘No, no, no, this isn’t good enough.’… And he had a very good sense of humor about all that, because he’s a very good writer. … We still used the language of the ‘50s reporters. … ‘The plane came down like a wounded bird,’ and, ‘The plane had broken apart like a swollen cream puff.’

It’s been a year since the book’s come out. What’s been the response? Very encouraging. As I went around the country last summer, I was in 32 cities, and I met people in every city who were somehow connected to this. … In one city I actually got ... an email beforehand, saying, ‘My mother is going to go and be there at your chat, and she was one of the characters who was on the plane.’ … I introduced her to the audience. We had a big hug. I felt like I knew her. … [In the book], I used her name, because her name was in the paper. She was interviewed by a reporter who said, ‘Well, do you think you’ll ever fly again?’ and she said, ‘Oh yeah, I’m going to have my vacation in Miami.’ I asked her if she did that, and she said that two weeks later, she flew to Miami.

You and George also recently cofounded a bookstore. We’ve done a lot of projects together. It’s usually been his project or mine, and then the other is the cheerleader, but with this one, we’re working together. At first, I thought, ‘Oh, this isn’t going to work,’ but it’s working fine.

What else did you do for research? I also talked to everyone I’m still in touch with from that period in my life. … Everyone had a memory that found its way into the book. [Someone said], ‘We were watching The Kate Smith Show on television when the show was interrupted.’ … A major charWhy’d you get in the bookstore business? acter, Mrs. Barnes, came from the memory Key West lost its bookstore five years from one of my friends whose little sister had a babysitter who was the mother of the pilot ago. … We’re a community of artists and writers and readers, and we host literary semof the second plane. inars every year.

Rise of the Rocket Girls, by Nathalia Holt (Little, Brown, 338 pages) Behind every successful rocket launch there’s a woman doing math, in Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, From Missiles to the Moon to Mars, a breezy yet informative low-orbit story to launch your summer reading. In 1939, when a group of (male) engineers wanted to build rockets at Caltech, they didn’t hire women to hammer the sheet metal. But they did hire women to do the math. If you had a head for high school geometry and calculus and maybe chemistry too, you could spend your days at a desk with a pencil, figuring trajectories and analyzing data from test runs. You’d be called a “computer” — before there were electronic computers, there were only human ones. In fact it happened that in the earliest days of this rocket science group, the first few computers hired were women. And it happened that this rocket science group, which began with some friends nicknamed “the Suicide Squad,” soon became the renowned Jet Propulsion Laboratory. One of the computers, Macie Roberts, was supervisor of the others, which meant that as the lab grew and more computers were needed, she was the one hiring them. And she chose to hire more women. “It was a respected position, one that men eagerly applied for. It just so happened that their applications were all turned down. … Macie saw men as a potential disruption to her group. She couldn’t imagine that a man would listen to her. Men, she believed, were likely to see themselves as bosses and women as employees — not the other way around.” Beyond that, “She labored to find a group of women who all got along, who were friends as well as colleagues. … the work shone as a result of their fruitful collaboration.” Still, little did Macie know how their careers would grow. These workers were young and getting in on the ground floor of human space exploration. (It wasn’t a sure thing at the beginning; some scientists expected that rocketry would go nowhere.) One of the women we read about is still working for JPL, and others retired only recently. You might think Intel would have rendered them obsolete, but even when electronic computers came along, they had to be programmed by people who understood the math, which was dense and complex. It was hard work, but rewarding. Watching Voyager (the one with the gold-plated audio record) sail through space based on calculations you spent months working out is a very good answer to “when would I ever use this?” Author Nathalia Holt is a magazine writer (Popular Science, Slate, The Atlantic) and Rocket Girls reads like a midweight maga-

zine piece — and sometimes like an American Girl book designed for painless education and inspiration. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. Even though at times the metaphors edge too cute (“The sequence of rockets was similar to the way the women at JPL helped each other out, the group steadily building momentum,”), it’s worth reading all the way to the end, when it arrives at the present day and Holt describes meeting and interviewing some of the women. In fact the middle-grade, nothing-tooheavy tone may be deliberate. When a fan tweeted a photo of a 12-year-old girl holding the book, Holt replied “This is exactly why I wrote Rocket Girls.” Nonetheless, you’ll find it in the grown-up section. For older readers, the delayed recognition of these women’s accomplishments is satisfying. For younger ones, it might make a long-term difference in choices they make. Visibility, as they say, matters. So, by the way, did Macie Roberts’ and her followers’ decisions not only to hire women in the first place but to rehire woman after they’d left to have children. In a time when “there was no such thing as maternity leave,” this was huge, and it is likely one reason that JPL to this day has more female employees than any other NASA center. So how come we haven’t heard of these women? Were they invisible because they were female? Or was it because they were “mere” computers? Either way, it’s a persistent feature, the invisibility, from Helen Chow’s days as a student minoring in math — “The only girl in a class of men, she didn’t feel intimidated. Instead, she felt invisible.” — right through the 50th-anniversary party for Explorer 1: “Sadly, when making up the guest list for the anniversary, JPL forgot some important names. Five decades earlier, Barbara [Paulson] and Margie [Brunn] had sat in the control room and tracked the satellite as it flew through the sky, but in 2008, they were in their homes in Pasadena, just a few miles away from the celebration. They are two of the last people who remember JPL’s control room that night, and their work formed our first steps into space.” Whatever the reasons, it’s good that we see them now. So while you are waiting for Hasbro to explain why the Star Wars toy aisle is filled with every character from The Force Awakens except the main one, a woman (for pictures of sad kids and pissed-off parents, find #WheresRey online), read Rise of the Rocket Girls and keep your eye on NASA’s Juno mission. Sue Finley, NASA’s longestserving woman, having begun work at JPL in the late 1950s, is still at it and, Holt writes, “won’t retire until she sees her latest mission, Juno, succeed in orbiting Jupiter, which should happen in July 2016.” B+ — Lisa Parsons

In early March, singer Carly Rae Jepsen interrupted her show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to bring Bob Saget on stage. The pair took a selfie with the crowd, then did an impromptu version of the theme from Full House; Saget played all-American dad Danny Tanner on the hit sitcom and recently reprised his role for the Netfllix reboot, Fuller House. The crowd, its median age maybe 14, screamed wildly — when they weren’t singing along word for word. “I’ve got an audience that is the granddaughters of the people that watched with their kids; I’ve got every demographic,” Saget said during a phone interview in advance of a short tour that stops in New Hampshire on July 7. “Fortunately, I have a girlfriend again, so it will keep me off the streets. I’m 60 years old ... enough already !” Recently, Saget dropped into L.A.’s Comedy Store to do a surprise set, only to find Chris Rock following Dave Chappelle. “It’s like the early ’80s again,” Saget said of the bustling club where he once served as house MC. “Chris Rock brought me up on stage and in his intro, he said, ‘Who is the special guest ... Eddie Murphy?’ You know, like, who’s bigger than us? Then he said, ‘No, we have a guy who raised all of us, and you all know him.’” Saget received a standing ovation at 1:30 a.m. “It wasn’t because they were leaving; it was affection,” he said with a self-deprecating laugh. “I realized that I am literally one of the only television fathers left that can be trusted at this point.” His wholesome TV persona won’t be Bob Saget When: Thursday, July 7, at 8 p.m. Where: Casino Ballroom, 169 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton Beach Tickets: $24-$44 at casinoballroom.com

found in Saget’s standup act, however — it’s far more raunchy than Full Houseesque. Most people know ahead of time what to expect, but there are the occasionally clueless. “If you do a character ... meant for family entertainment; people think that you’re like that,” Saget said. “Like, when I’m home, I’m Dustbusting, wearing a sweater and Windexing.” A older woman in the audience during a Vancouver show a few years back obviously didn’t know about the preponderance of poop and sex jokes in Saget’s act and got up to leave. “I said, ‘Did I offend you?’ She just gave the hand gesture of, ‘You’re no good. … You should be eating lox and bagels at your mother’s house.’” At the notion that his mother would be ashamed of him, Saget began riffing in the middle of the interview. “Your mother would shave her beard

off if she knew what you were doing,” he mocked in a thick Yiddish accent, quickly adding, “I don’t know why I just put a beard on my mother ... my mother would not like that joke. It’s disrespectful. But that’s what I base my humor on.” Listening to Saget bounce around is a lot like watching one of his many comedy specials. During the last one, That’s What I’m Talking About, he told the crowd, “listen closely, I’m never gonna do this again” prior to one bit; these flights of fancy happen a lot. “I’m someone who says, during a special, to his producer, on camera, ‘Somebody write that down ... I’d like to use it again.’ After it’s already been committed to television, forever,” he said. “I really don’t know what I’m going to do before I get to the stage because I don’t know what’s happened that day. … At a certain point you’re able to tell a story about just your journey to try to get to the venue.” His 2013 special received a Grammy nomination. “It cost me so much money, because I had to buy a dress for my daughter and a tux ... and Kathy Griffin won,” Saget said. “I always say, ‘I like him, so I don’t mind.’ I love Kathy, but I’m a comedian, so I have to say terrible things like that.” Saget spent the end of last year portraying a Lutheran minister in the Tony-nominated Hand to God, a seriocomic play about a teenage boy with a hand puppet that channels Satan. It’s a perfect metaphor for the comic’s bipolar performing persona, right? “Totally,” Saget said. He hosted a dinner for James Carville when Lewis Black had a scheduling conflict. Otherwise, Saget steers clear of hot button issues in his act. “Everything below my waist is a lot more entertaining,” he said. “The world has gone crazy, so what we want to do is keep people alive and try to get rid of all the anger that’s in the world. I’m not a political person; I’m a humanist, and I am an entertainer — because Billy Joel told me to always say that.”

Troubadour time

Tristan Omand keeps on keeping on By Michael Witthaus

While his high school friends contemplated careers and colleges in the early 2000s, Tristan Omand learned chords, filled notebooks full of lyrics and wondered how he’d get his hands on a touring van. Echoes of that time can be heard in “Maybe Nothing,” the final cut on Side 1 of his latest release, The Lesser-Known Tristan Omand. “Tried working a job / that tortured my soul / but I broke the chains,” he sings. For Omand, the decision to play music isn’t the answer to a question; it’s a calling. Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop the well-meaning guidance he often gets. “A lot of people have told me, ‘It’s good that you’re doing it while you’re young,’ and I answer, ‘No, this is what I do,’” he said, irritation rising in his voice. “People wouldn’t think twice if I was an electrician, and wouldn’t expect me to say, ‘I think I’ll do wiring in crawlspaces until I’m 35, and then find something else.’ But music….” Omand balks at the notion that he “succumb to some sort of life that people think you should be living — that’s never played out for me. … A lot of artists say they pursue this lifestyle so they don’t have to lead a normal life.” Like his heroes Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Omand writes storytelling songs that explore difficult lives and hard-won experience. As its title implies, the new album feels more personal, perhaps reflecting the lanky singer/guitarist’s steeled resolve as he approaches age 30. In “Straight Six,” he likens himself to an old car, built to last. “I bet all the sand at Hampton Beach / That the life you wanted is within reach,” he sings. Still, struggles do arise when making art for a living. On “A Letter Home,” Oman lays his troubadour trials out with poignancy: “Oh, the commonality of hearts breaking on their own / Is like the saddest little ray the sun has ever shown.” The song’s narrator surrenders at one point, cutting his hair and taking a job as a sailor. He then gathers the vigor to keep on keeping on, singing, “I couldn’t wait to get off that boat.” Tristan Omand opening for Barrence Whitfield & the Savages/The Figgs When: Saturday, July 2, at 4 p.m. Where: Waterfront Park, Main Street, Newburyport, Mass. More: Headlining Saturday, July 9, at Flight Coffee Co., Dover, and Saturday, July 23, at White Heron Tea & Coffee, Portsmouth See: tristanomand.com

The new record is Omand’s fourth, and the second to be released on vinyl. It’s eight songs long; many would call it an EP, but Omand planned carefully for the format, studying sequencing with scientific fervor. “The last song on a side is often slower due to the dynamics on a phonograph record; there are certain places that lend themselves to better dynamics,” he said. “So from the beginning, I had vinyl in mind, four songs on each side.” Omand just returned from a nine-state tour of the East Coast. The shows he played were his fourth or fifth in places like Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee. He’s near his home base of New Hampshire for the next few weeks. On Saturday, July 2, he’ll open for Boston R&B stalwarts Barrence Whitfield & the Savages at an outdoor concert in Newburyport. The Ramones and Seacoast heroes The Queers provided Omand with his first attraction to music, and he still dips his toes in those waters occasionally. On June 23, he sat in on guitar for a reunion show with Five Bucks, a double bill with Digger at Manchester’s Shaskeen Pub. Omand found the experience had him slightly starstruck. “When I was 14 or 15, everyone looked up to Five Bucks; now I’m playing with them,” he said, “Digger was this great ’90s pop-punk band on Hopeless Records, and they were like my favorite band around that time.” He soon left punk behind. “I kind of drifted,” he said. “Then I heard Bob Dylan and Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, and they have this incredible body of work. I thought, ‘Why keep listening to all these redundant punk bands when I can listen to five Bob Dylan albums that are each totally different?’ I think it was a logical progression for me, and it certainly still has some influence over my music.”

The Bunyadi opened in London in June for a three-month run as the world’s newest nude-dining experience, and now has a reservation waiting list of 40,000 (since it only seats 42). Besides the nakedness, the Bunyadi creates “true liberation” (said its founder) by serving only food “from nature,” cooked over fire (no electricity). Waiters are nude as well, except for minimal concessions to seated diners addressing standing servers. Tokyo’s Amrita nude eatery, opening in July, is a bit more playful, with best-body male waiters and an optional floor show and no “overweight” patrons allowed. Both restaurants provide some sort of derriere-cover for sitting and require diners to check their cellphones at the door.

Cultural diversity

Milwaukee’s WITI-TV, in an on-thescene report from Loretta, Wisconsin (in the state’s northwest backwoods), in May, described the town’s baffling fascination with “Wood Tick Racing,” held annually, provided someone finds enough wood ticks to place in a circle so that townspeople can wager on which one hops out first. The “races” began 37 years ago, and this year “Howard” was declared the winner. (According to the organizers, at the end of the day, all contestants, except Howard, were to be smashed with a mallet.)

a functional heart in his body, carrying around in a backpack the “organ” that pumps his blood. Larkin, 25, was born with a dangerous heart arrhythmia and was kept alive for a while with a defibrillator and then by hooking him up to a washing- machine-sized heart pump, leaving him barely mobile. But then came the miraculous SynCardia Freedom Total Artificial Heart, weighing 13 pounds and improving Larkin’s quality of life as he endured the almost-interminable wait for a heart transplant (which he finally received in May). (An average of 22 people a day die awaiting organ transplants in the U.S.) • An ordinary green tree frog recently injured in a “lawn-mowing accident” in Australia’s Outback was flown about 600 miles from Mount Isa to the Cairns Frog Hospital. CFH president Deborah Pergolotti spoke despairingly to Australian Broadcasting Corp. News in June about how society underregards the poor frogs when it comes to rescue and rehab suggesting that “there’s almost a glass ceiling” between them and the cuter animals.

Least competent criminals

(1) Damian Shaw, 43, was sentenced in England’s Chester Crown Court in June after an April raid revealed he had established a “sophisticated” cannabis-growing operation (160 plants) in a building about 50 yards from the front door of the Cheshire Police headquarters. (2) Northern Ireland’s Belfast Telegraph reported in April that a man was Government in action The Department of Veterans Affairs hospitalized after throwing bricks at the front revealed in May that, between 2007 and windows of a Public Initiative for Prevenlast year, nearly 25,000 vets examined for tion of Suicide and Self Harm office. He was traumatic brain injury at 40 VA facilities were not seen by medical personnel qualified to render the diagnosis, which may account for the result that, according to veterans’ activists, very few of them were ever referred for treatment. (TBI, of course, is the “signature wound” of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.)

injured by brick-bounceback, off the shatterproof glass.

Perspective

News updates from Kim Jong Un’s North Korea: In March, a South Korean ecology organization reported that the traditional winter migration of vultures from China was, unusually, skipping over North Korea, headed directly for the South apparently because of the paucity of animal corpses (according to reports, a major food source for millions of North Koreans). And in June, the Global Nutrition Report (which criticized the U.S. and 13 other countries for alarming obesity rates) praised North Korea for its “progress” in having fewer adults with “body mass index” over 30). The super-painful “Ilizarov procedure” enables petite women to make themselves taller. (A surgeon breaks bones in the shins or thighs, then adjusts special leg braces four times daily that pull the bones slightly apart, awaiting them to slowly grow back and fuse together, usually taking at least six months. As News of the Weird reported in 2002, a 5-foottall woman, aiming for 5-4, gushed about “a better job, a better boyfriend ... a better husband. It’s a long-term investment.” Now, India’s “medical tourism” industry offers Ilizarovs cut-rate but (according to a May dispatch in The Guardian) unregulated and, so far, not yet even taught in India’s medical schools. Leading practitioner Dr. Amar Sarin of Delhi (who claims “hundreds” of successes) admits there’s a “madness” to patients’ dissatisfactions with the way they look. Visit weirduniverse.net.

The entrepreneurial spirit

Basking in its “record high” in venturecapital funding, the Chinese Jiedaibao website put its business model into practice recently: facilitating offers of “jumbo” personal loans (two to five times the normal limit) to female students who submit nude photos. The student agrees that if the loan is not repaid on time (at exorbitant interest rates), the lender can release the photos online. (The business has been heavily criticized, but the company’s headquarters said the privately negotiated contracts are beyond its control.)

Awesome!
