A WORD FROM LARRY

Fairly good times

Master McGrath’s

You may not expect a fair to be going on in July, but we have a great one right here, only about 20 minutes from Hampton, in Stratham, N.H. This year marks the 49th annual Stratham Fair, and it’s happening July 21 to July 24. Larry Marsolais It’s one of the oldest country fairs in New England. It started as a 250th anniversary celebration and has grown into an event that is attended by over 20,000 people each year. It has all of the fair activities: horse and oxen pulls, 4-H exhibits, a pie eating contest, pig scramble, chicken barbecue, carnival rides, midway, Sunday night fireworks and much more. If you are here visiting or live here, put this one on your to-do list. It is a short trip from the beach and you will enjoy yourself. Another event to add to your calendar, happening a little later this summer, is the

Experience Hampton Golf Tournament, Monday Aug. 8, at Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth. Experience Hampton was formed in October 2010 by a small group of business owners and residents with the initial purpose of bringing back a Christmas Parade to Hampton. This small group quickly expanded to involve over 50 volunteers, and a successful parade was held Dec. 4, 2010. EHI has now developed into an organization that is a state approved 501(c) 4, with a formal board of directors made up of strictly volunteers, an approved set of by-laws and a membership made up of Hampton business owners and residents. The mission is to organize, promote and manage events and projects in Hampton and the general vicinity that improve and benefit the community. As always, I would love to hear from our readers. Feel free to call anytime at 603-9355096 to discuss local issues or to place an ad.

World-class performances Series features chamber music By Vinny Manfrate

Festival schedule

vinny@seacoastscene.net

The Halcyon Music Festival, featuring world-class musicians performing high-caliber chamber music, will be held the final two Fridays and Saturdays of July at various locations on the coast, with a kickoff Wednesday, July 20. The musicians were personally invited to the event, now in its third season, by its artistic and festival director and performer, Heng-Jin Park. “Chamber music is a very special art. It’s near and dear to my heart and to these musicians,” Park said. “We have a wonderful time, and I think the audience, when they come to our concerts, can feel that.” One of the festival’s goals is to grow chamber music and to make the art form more accessible to a broader audience. Invited musicians from all over the world come to New Hampshire to work on their music together while also living together at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, N.H. According to Park, this results in musical art that can only be heard at the Halcyon Music Festival. “Every single program is distinct; not one piece is repeated,” she said. “[The audience]

will feel the love and joy in our music-making that we exude. We’re putting on the highest caliber of music-making for the audience.” While the music may occasionally dip into 20th-century works, according to Park, the festival will mainly focus on 18th- and 19thcentury composers and their works, which are the mainstays of chamber music. “We allow anyone and everyone who want wants to come and share our music to be able to do so,” said Park. “Some [of the perform-

ers] are principal players in top orchestras around the world, some are university professors and some are soloists. What they love about the festival is that they can forgo the rest of their responsibilities and just concentrate on making great music together.” To attend the concerts, there is a suggested donation of $25 per concert. For those interested in attending more than one concert, there are options online to purchase discounted subscriptions for reserved seats at multiple shows.

Wednesday, July 20, the festival begins at the Phillips Exeter Academy Library (20 Main St., Exeter, N.H.) at 7 p.m. with Bohemian Rhapsody. Friday, July 22, Vive La France! will take place at St. John’s Episcopal Church (101 Chapel St., Portsmouth) at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 23, Elegance, Jubilation and Heartbreak will take place at St. John’s Episcopal Church (101 Chapel St., Portsmouth) at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 28, Made in USA will take place at the Rye Congregational Church (580 Washington Road, Rye, N.H.) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 29, The Four B’s: Bach, Beethoven, Bolcom, Brahms will take place at St. John’s Episcopal Church (101 Chapel St., Portsmouth) at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 30, will be The Final Serenade at St. John’s Episcopal Church (101 Chapel St., Portsmouth) at 7:30 p.m. There will also be a show, Novelties from Eastern Europe. at the St. George Episcopal Church in Durham, N.H., at 7:30 p.m. Visit halcyonmusicfestival.com for more information about the festival and to purchase tickets.

Summer, fun and ice cream are key ingredients to a visit to the Seacoast. Take a short walk on Ocean Boulevard across from Hampton Beach and you will more than likely find a spot to grab a cone or a cup of ice cream with your favorite toppings. The Scene caught up with a couple of local ice cream shop owners and got the scoop on what’s it like to run an ice cream shop. “We are definitely in the heart of ice cream season,” said Derek Dore, owner of Hodgies Too. “Families, adults and just about everybody wants to go out for ice cream as a part of their summer vacation.”

With a plethora of ice cream opportunities on the Seacoast, hard work, strong leadership and a great personality are needed to stand out. “I feel like I wear so many hats,” Dore said. “You’re a small business owner at an ice cream stand so you could be anywhere from operations management to human resources to bookkeeper to even marketer.” Stamina and the ability to multitask are key, he said. “You’re just getting pulled in so many directions,” Dore said, “from the 14

Unique orders Ice cream is a unique business. Whether you are coming up with new, creative ideas to draw people into the shop or having unique orders coming through the window, there’s always something keeping ice cream shop owners, workers and customers on their toes. “I had a gentleman who came in with his family and ordered five two-scoop sundaes,” said Morrell, “and he didn’t care what ice cream or toppings we put on them. He just wanted five different sundaes. My son and daughter were both working that day and had a great time putting together flavors and trying to figure out what would work together. I would say that’s our most unique order.” Dore describes how current events and spur-of-the-moment thinking can affect the rotating flavors at Hodgies Too, especially since the shop has the freedom to create their own ice cream flavors. “For example,” Dore said, “when Prince passed away we made up an ice cream called Purple Rain, which was black raspberry ice cream with white chocolate chips and black cherries. When Muhammad Ali passed away, we did milk chocolate banana with peanut butter swirl. We have a lot of unique ones. For shark week, we did a Shark Bait ice cream, which was blue vanilla with raspberry swirl and white chocolate chips. We do a lot based on current events or what’s going on. That’s what makes it fun.”

Hodgies Too creates its ice cream throughout the morning, afternoon and night. With a menu of 40 regular flavors of ice cream along with around 300 rotating flavors, there is always something traditional or something new and unique at the stand. Using a premium mix, the ice cream is machine- or hand-mixed and then put through a freezing process, first put into deep freeze and then moved into less-cold temperatures, making the ice cream scoopable. “It’s quite the process and very specific,” Dore said. “Fortunately we have a lot of great people who pay close attention to the process of making and freezing the ice cream so it’s of the highest quality possible, but in order to keep up, we make it every day. It’s a manufacturing operation.” Dore said that using the best ingredients, what he calls the “Rolls Royce of ice cream mixers,” and having great people pay close attention to details is what allows a business to compete in having the best ice cream around. “We are consistently making ice cream. During the busy season, we need to keep up with the making and scooping of the ice cream,” he said. “It’s a hard art and a science.”

plement your carefree summer. “You’re not just coming out to get ice cream,” Dore said. “You want come have a good product, have good environments with music or the lights here at night and you want to sit down and enjoy being served by people with excellent personalities. It’s service with a smile. The ice cream experience is so important.” Morrell agrees. “I want everyone to come in and feel comfortable,” Morrell said. “It’s not just throwing an ice cream out the window and you’re done. You try to please everyone but you’ll always get some people that you just can’t please and you just have to smile, say sorry and move on with your day. Kill them with kindness.” “I love talking to people. I could do it all day,” Dore said. “You want to make sure every customer goes away happy and it happens almost all the time but you always worry. You want to be perfect all the time.”

It started with a dream

For Dore and Morrell, owning an ice cream shop is a dream come true. They come from different backgrounds, but

they each have a passion for serving up scoops of ice cream every day during the busy season. Morrell first owned an ice cream shop 10 years ago, and when the opportunity came up to get one alongside Hampton Beach, she snatched it up and began her ice cream dream once again with Ashwee’s. “I wanted to do this again and I did it on my own time,” she said. “I think it’s a great atmosphere for families to come in and get ice cream. … It’s just fun.” Keeping prices low and pairing ice cream with Coney Island hot dogs, another one of her favorites, Morrell gives Hampton Beach goers a reason to walk a little farther down Ocean Boulevard than visitors normally would, she said. “Growing up, we had Coney Island hot dog stands on every block,” Morrell said. “I always loved Coney Island hot dogs and I said that if I ever owned an ice cream shop, I’m going to make Coney Island hot dogs and, well, that’s just what I did.” Dore worked his way through high school and college at the original Hodgies in Amesbury and became close 16

14 with the owners. When the opportunity arose to take on Hodgies Too himself, Dore jumped at the chance to fulfill a lifelong dream. “I went on to school and became a pharmacist and medical writer but I always knew that I wanted to come back and do an ice cream stand,” he said. “It’s the best job and the most fun that I’ve ever had.” Dore tries to relay that feeling to his own workers now, wanting the summertime job at Hodgies Too to provide some of the fondest memories that his scoopers and ice cream makers have. According to Dore, as with anything, a passion and love of what you do is essential to the success and happiness of the business. “I’m working well over 100 hours a week,” he said. “If you’re doing that while doing something that you don’t

like, I don’t know how anyone could do it. I’m living the dream basically. It’s cliche but like anything else, do what you love and things will work out and that’s kind of what I feel like is going on.” The challenges and hard work pay off, they say. “I get a lot of families that own or rent cottages in this area,” Morrell said. “I get a lot of repeat customers. Most of those families that I saw last year, I’m seeing this year again. They’re happy that I’m here and that I’m open.”

A tasty tradition

“It’s a great spot,” said Dore, “because you have both local New Englanders who love their homemade hard-serve ice cream and then along the Seacoast is a great vacation spot.” Dore describes serving tourists from all around, never knowing who will 18

16 come up to the window. With beaches and campgrounds filled from tourist vacationing from all around, everybody can find something for themselves and make going out for ice cream a part of their summer vacation. “Ice cream is so awesome because it’s just good and refreshing,” he said. “It’s a tradition and an experience from people who are 100 years old all the way down to newborns. They come up to the window, they’re smiling. They sit down at a table to eat ice cream, they’re smiling. Eating ice cream is like a slice of Americana. Everybody feels good about it. It’s truly awesome.” Morrell tells the story of her father and herself going out for ice cream every Sunday after church with a smile. “I grew up with ice cream,” said Morrell. “My father and I, on Sunday mornings after church, would go out for breakfast to a small hometown diner. Once we left the diner we had to have our ice cream. Every Sunday, by 9 a.m., my father and I were eating an ice cream cone. My father still eats ice cream every day. It’s just a love of ours.” Ashwee’s gives Morrell a chance to spend time on the Seacoast, meeting new

customers, speaking with returning customers and working alongside her family throughout the summer while enjoying a lifelong love. “It means so much to me … to work alongside my daughter Ashley and my son Adam,” she said. “I feel very blessed to have this time with them.” Dore says ice cream is about making people happy. There is an urge to create a fun and warm-hearted environment so that everyone can enjoy the age-old tradition of going out for an ice cream with friends and family. Generations can pass down the love of ice cream on any day or night of the week. Dore has seen parents, grandparents and great-grandparents pass down their love of ice cream. “As a kid, I remember going out with the family for ice cream,” Dore said. “Particularly in the New England area, especially the Seacoast, it’s just such a long tradition, with generations. It’s something the whole family can do despite the economy. People can have an ice cream and have family time.” “The summer is for ice cream,” Morrell said. “Ice cream can be year round, but during the summer, you’re on vacation and you’re going to eat ice cream.”

Grab your dancing shoes and take a step back in time at Salisbury Beach’s Classic Car & Doo Wop Show. From 7:15 to 10 p.m. every Friday, you can wax nostalgic for either the life you used to live or one you’ve seen at the movies. “Many years ago we used to bring cars to the beach, so we decided to restart it. It’s been wonderful, drawing a lot of families,” said Amin Nabhan, who has been organizing the weekly summer event for four years. “Last year a gentleman brought a Ghostbusters-like car, and the kids had a wonderful time with it, and last Friday was a huge turnout, filled up both sides of the street,” Nabhan said. According to Nabhan, the event can bring in excess of 40 cars to the shores of Salisbury. “I have now, with help from our DJ, Ralphie B., started this year to pick out a car and interview the owner live over the mike, see how they got involved in that car, how they refurbished it, or where they get their parts from. It’s an amazing experience that people love, to be able to share a lot of information,” Nabhan said. He said the interviews sparked enthusiasm in visitors and car owners, so much so that each interview will now be aired on the local Salisbury cable TV station. “Most cars have been refurbished, others are just at the beginning of the process working on them. The cars are 30 to 40

years old. The brakes are shot. They do things to update the engine. You can’t get original parts anymore so you have to really search around. I tend to think a lot of specialty shops would have parts and also the antique dealers, and junkyard parts,” said Nabhan, who admits it’s absolutely a labor of love. There’s a definite Happy Days vibe to the night. To go along with the classic cars and doo wop, with RB Entertainment’s Ralphie B. jamming out to 1950s and ’60s Top 10 hits, there is a sock hop especially for children, where according to Nabhan

you can see the next generation learning the oldies from their grandparents. “You’re getting more ’50s and ’60s cars than ’20s and ’30s, those cars are too far gone. Once in a while we’ll see a ’23 Ford, but definitely more 1950s and 1960s,” Nabhan said. Last year, Tesla sent a car to every show. “Everybody flocked around that one, nothing in the trunk, nothing in the hood, just runs on battery,” said Nabhan. For enthusiasts interested in learning more about all things car, Nabhan recommends checking out Whip’s Wheels magazine of Salem (whipswheels.com). “If you go into a tire shop or that type of place, you’ll find the magazine. Leaf through it and you’ll find out a lot of information,” said Nabhan. Having driven these cars when he was younger, Nabhan takes great joy in being able to showcase them. “Everyone has a favorite car, either one they used to drive or maybe their boyfriend drove when they were younger. They’re attached to a certain one, because it brings back a memory,” he said. He said the nights offer a flashback for the older generations who are then able to impart their personal history to the rest of their family. “It’s a wonderful event for the whole family to enjoy the sun, enjoy the beach, a great excuse to come out and have some fun,” Nabhan said. “It definitely brings people together. And it helps out the local businesses, people buy a hot dog, buy an ice cream, buy some pizza.” For more information, visit salisburybeachinfo.com.

news@seacoastscene.net

Describe Ultimate Treasure Hunts. For more than 20 years, I have created and customized treasure hunts and GPS activities and challenges for kids’ parties, corporations, chambers of commerce, schools and other organizations across the country. How did you get into this line of work? My background is in orienteering, which is a competitive international sport that combines running with maps and compass navigation. I have competed all over the world and love the adventure of the sport, which puts people into unfamiliar terrain with a map they must follow. We use maps to navigate through any kind of terrain — forests, mountains, cities, lakes, deserts — anywhere. I think for me there has always been something really fun and exciting about using a map to uncover a clue. I feel a sense of wonder in the deep of the forest when I am navigating, and Ultimate Treasure Hunts helps to transfer this sense of wonder to people in urban environments. I love when people have the same response as I do in the woods. You recently created an adventure on the Seacoast — describe that. Yes, one of the recent adventures I have created is a History Tour through Exeter. People can download my free app and purchase a tour right on my website. You then get a code to play. There are about 15 spots around town you will discover in order to answer multiple-choice questions. The answers to the questions might be on a plaque or monument, but it could be an architectural feature or on a store window in town. The tour is a treasure hunt so you need to complete it to win the prize at the end. It keeps kids and adults engaged. What do you hope people experience on this tour? The feedback I get all the time is that people are surprised at the things they have not noticed before in town. People think they know a town, but this game helps them notice things they have never noticed before. You can’t Google the answers either — you have to arrive at the correct destination to answer the questions and win the tour.

Tourists and locals alike take your tours? Yes, this is definitely a kind of game that attracts both groups of people, and I have done this in many other locations, too. Because I live here in Exeter, I find this current adventure especially gratifying, because I think this is a beautiful town with a lot of interesting history that many people just don’t know about. This game helps to focus people so they are not just walking around. They are actively participating in something together. I have seen kids experience a lot of pride when they get lost — not confused but turned around — but then figure out where they are. It’s nice to see. What is your biggest business challenge? I think my biggest challenge is to let people know that this isn’t just a tour. Everyone can grab a map and just see things, but this is more than just a ‘walk and learn’ or a scavenger hunt. It’s an adventure that piques people’s curiosity. It creates excitement within families. My

challenge is letting the public know this is really different.

How has changing technology impacted your business? In the last couple of years, I think I have turned the corner. Just five years ago, many people were still intimidated by technology on their phones. Now, though, even older people have begun to feel comfortable and depend on their phones so much more. I think about 75 percent of people now come to Ultimate Treasure Hunts from their phones.

How do you see Ultimate Treasure Hunts moving forward? I see the games I create as a way to bridge the gap between kids and grandparents. Technology can bring people together in healthy ways. I think the challenge for me is to follow, as well as anticipate, changes in technology. I think my game, for instance, will be much more virtual where people actually don’t have to walk around town. I have a great app developer and I see this as the next step.

CAR TALK

What’s the worst you can do?

By Ray Magliozzi

Dear Car Talk: My brother-in-law, who thinks that I am mistaken if my lips are moving, tells me that the worst thing I can do to my automatic transmission is start the car and immediately back out of my garage. His reasoning is that when the engine is warming up, it’s running faster than usual. So when my foot’s on the brake and I put the car in reverse, wham, the tranny slams up against wheels that won’t move. What do you say? — Rolf That’s far from the worst thing you can do to your automatic transmission, Rolf. Putting bananas in it instead of automatic transmission fluid jumps immediately to mind.

Your annoying brother-in-law may have had a point 30 or 40 years ago. In the old days, when we had carburetors and mechanical chokes, you’d start up a cold car, and the engine would run at 2,500 rpm for the first five minutes. And sure, slamming the transmission into gear when the engine was running that fast wasn’t exactly TLC for a transmission. But now that engines are computercontrolled, an engine that’s warming up will run at 1,000 rpm for 30 seconds, and then return to 750 rpm. So whatever strain you put on the transmission is minimal to nonexistent. Plus, you’re not going to sit there for that 30 seconds “straining” the transmission. Unless you have a garage fetish, you’re going to release the brake and start backing up. So tell your brother-in-law that he’s wrong. That’s far from the worst thing you can do to your transmission. Driving the car hard, especially accelerating sharply and suddenly, is worse for the transmission. And not only the transmission, but all of the other drivetrain components. Everything except the radio knobs — they can handle hard acceleration. So if you decide to pass a garbage truck

and you pull out and put your foot to the floor, and the transmission downshifts three gears and your back gets pinned to the seat, you’re shortening the life of your transmission, and the rest of your car, far more than you ever could by putting it in reverse in your garage. And here’s another thing that’s worse than what your brother-in-law suggests: Backing out of your driveway and using the transmission to shift directions instead of stopping first. And don’t forget about neglecting to change the transmission fluid when the manufacturer recommends. That often leads to bananas (see above). Dear Car Talk: My grandfather has a ‘97 Ford F-150 with 147,000 miles on it. After the checkengine light came on, he took it to have it scanned, and the scan tool said the upstream O2 sensor was bad. So he replaced it. Five miles or so after he replaced it, the check-engine light came on again. He got it checked again, and the same code came up. So he replaced it again, and he still has the problem. Any idea what else to check that could make this happen over and over again? — Craig Well, two things come to mind. One

is that the oxygen sensor itself is not the problem. Maybe there’s a wire that broke off near the sensor, and that’s why the computer thinks the O2 sensor is bad. Modern car computers can distinguish between an electrical problem, like an open circuit from a broken wire, and the O2 sensor itself. But a 1997 F-150 might not have that talent. Next time a customer comes in with a ‘97 F-150, I’ll break one of his wires and let you know. Start by doing what’s called a “continuity check” on the wires that go to the O2 sensor. You’ll need the wiring diagram. There should be three wires, and you’ll test each one. If they’re all good, and you’re getting power to the O2 sensor, then perhaps Gramps is buying some bad O2 sensors, or perhaps even the wrong sensors. In that case, instead of going back to the parts store that scanned the truck, go to the Ford dealer and buy a new O2 sensor from them. If that works, obviously the problem was the replacement sensors he was buying. If that doesn’t work, you can return the sensor and consider a fire, Craig. Good luck. Visit Cartalk.com.

FOOD

Victoria’s food

Inn and cafe offer variety of dining options By Jocelyn Humelsine news@seacoastscene.net

The Victoria Inn Bed and Breakfast and Pavilion at 430 High St. in Hampton is a charming 5.6-acre Victorian throwback seashore vacation spot, replete with wraparound porch and three suites as part of a seven-room property. Less than a mile from the ocean but with the rewarding cozy atmosphere of the mountains, the food here is as good as the views. Having purchased the inn in 2013, owner Tracey Dewhurst offers a taste of history along with tastes of a sumptuous breakfast in the inn’s dining room, with a full menu of homemade savory and sweet fare. “Pamela is our innkeeper; she does amazing things and has been here since before I bought the property. It’s been a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, as she’s here overseeing everything from breakfast to housekeeping,” Dewhurst said. “The menu allows guests to choose from a different selection of homemade items, really great coffee lattes, too.” To expand on the inn’s dining, Dewhurst opened Victoria’s Kitchen last August, making this the first summer season. Just five minutes from the inn, the renovated space welcomes guests to relax on a couch or get some work done at a café table. “We want people to come in and relax, have some amazing food before starting their day,” Dewhurst said. She originally opened Victoria’s Kitchen to help with catering at the inn. So, if

you need to feed 30 people, you can order hot and cold platters to the tune of lamb kabobs, lobster mac and cheese, or shrimp and scallop alfredo. But it’s more than just catering. “It’s a different type of café, more creative sandwiches, breakfast items like egg white wraps,” she said. “The English muffins are homemade so all our breakfast sandwiches are served on them. We have a full staff and baker who does scones, gluten-free options, vegan. We have a nice panini with caramelized onions.” Or wrap your mind and mouth around

the banana chocolate walnut crepes, vegan noodle and rice bowls or the harvest salad. “At the Kitchen, I was really surprised. I had thought we would be busiest for lunches and dinner, but it’s the breakfast that’s really taking off. We have all the highquality bacon and sausage, and homemade baked items. It’s interesting, people are also loving the options of salads and vegan soup bowls,” Dewhurst said. True to form, Dewhurst sources locally from the Three River Farm Alliance CSA in Hampton. “It really depends on what’s available. We use a lot of the CSA items for specials as our menu is already pretty set. We do have a specialty available called Dinner to Go for two, Monday through Friday,” said Dewhurst, who has offered lobster-stuffed avocado, Israeli couscous with Kalamata olives, or honey corn bread among the delicacies for Dinner to Go. “People sign up for the days they want, and there’s one choice every day. That allows us to change up the menu every day. It’s going really well, especially with older couples or people who choose a day not to deal with cooking. We stay open till 6:30 p.m. especially for people to come pick up the meals,” Dewhurst said. Hosting about 25 weddings this season, the inn averages 50 events per year including the many charitable events held on the property. On Aug. 18, for instance, the inn will host the Jimmy Fund Walk Italian Feast Benefit to support the J Walkers Team and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. The fundraiser is a good example of what Dewhurst calls self-catering events. The organizers have asked area Italian restau-

rants to cater the entrees, and the inn will donate the desserts. “We do a lot with charitable organizations. They did the Jimmy Fund Walk dinner here last year and loved it. These events are very motivating, many are cancer survivors and it’s always for a good cause,” Dewhurst said. Having a culinary background, Dewhurst said she was attracted to the events side of the business, the potential this property offers. And that potential is certainly coming to fruition. Working with local chefs from Chez Boucher and Stonewall Kitchen, the Victoria Inn hosts ongoing cooking series as well. “We try to help promote anything foodand beverage-related,” said Dewhurst, who came about this bed and breakfast in a fortuitous manner. “I used to have a restaurant on the beach [La Bec Rouge], which was open 363 days a year. That was challenging right on the beach, but we got used to the seasonality. I sold that and went back to school, then got sucked back into the business,” Dewhurst laughed. “But I decided I wanted to do it different this time, focus more on planning types of events.” According to Dewhurst, to balance out the summer season, the inn runs a lot of holiday and corporate specials. “We’re open year-round and see a lot of business travelers and corporate events in the off season. Also, lots of people visit around the holidays, if their families are in the area, and we run events like the Beer Lover’s Weekend in October. And now we have Victoria’s Kitchen open.”

WITH CHEF CHRIS “KOZ” KOZLOWSKI Very rarely can someone say they have truly done a little bit of everything. Chef Chris Kozlowski, or Koz, is one of those people. The Scene spoke with Koz, the owner of the Orchard Street Chop Shop (1

Orchard St., Dover, N.H., 603-749-0006, orchardstreetchopshop.com), about his journey from camp kitchen prep cook to brewer and winemaker to restaurant owner.

Where did you start cooking as a career? My first cooking job was the Wolfeboro Camp School in Wolfeboro, N.H., in 1989. I went to this camp for a few years and I wantChef Koz ed to stay around so they hired me a prep cook working in the kitchen.

Would you say that you’re still growing as a chef? Every day is a learning curve. One of my mottos is that if I don’t learn at least three new things, then the day hasn’t been accomplished.

Did you always want to be a chef or did your career in culinary evolve from there? It evolved. I actually had no idea. My folks had owned a hotel in Moultonborough for about 30 years and I worked there for them for a while. I wanted to do something a little different and get away for a little bit so I was hired at Hart’s Turkey Farm in Meredith. I worked there from 1991 through 1995, mainly during the summer. I started as a prep cook and then worked my way into kitchen supervisor.

What is your most useful cooking tool? My Lodge blackening pans are what I take with me everywhere, even ... to my hunting camp. They give real good flavors to food.

How did you end up owning and cooking at the Orchard Street Chop Shop? When I was in college, I was a business major and decided that I wanted to do more than just college … [so I went to] the Culinary Institute of America. I was heavily involved in the brewing world with beer while I was there. I was the head of the Ale and Lager Society on campus. It was a group on campus that brought brews in from all around the country and the world. I brought in Shipyard and they offered me a job after graduation so I was a brewer for Shipyard at Federal Jack’s in Kennebunkport, Maine. I moved up to head brewer before leaving there to make wine in Napa. I came back to talk my then girlfriend, and now wife, into moving out to ... California, [but] a job opened in Rochester as an executive chef at the Governor’s Inn. Two years later, I moved on from there and opened the Crescent City Bistro in downtown Dover, which was well known cajun creole restaurant from 2001 through 2005. Then, in 2004, while owning Crescent City, a restaurant called Fire House 1, which is now the Chop Shop, ironically burned down, I purchased that in 2004 and the rest is history. Been here 12 years now.

What is an essential skill that chefs need? Definitely having knowledge on how to prepare things, knife skills and mise en place, which means knowing your kitchen space and knowing what you need to prep for the next day, and time management.

What is your personal favorite dish? At my restaurant, it’s going to have to be the 18-ounce Dry Age Cowboy Steak. In general I like wild game dishes but my background is in cajun creole food so I would say red beans and rice or gumbo. If you could guest chef anywhere in the world, where would that be? I proposed to my wife after dinner at a place in Monte Carlo called Louis XV. … Just seeing the kitchen and how immaculate it was, that would probably be that place I’d go to cook for the night. What tips would you recommend for an aspiring chef? Go into cooking for your passion, not for money. The money will come eventually. Leave your doors open to go where it takes you and learn the most that you can from each kitchen that you have the chance to work in. If you could serve any celebrity, who would it be? The Rock or Vin Diesel would be great to cook for because I know they like to eat. Politically, it would be great to be a White House chef someday. What is the best thing about being located on the Seacoast? The diversity here and within a 30-mile radius [of] Dover. You practically have every type of cuisine out here [yet] New Hampshire ... still has room to grow in the culinary world.

I discussed wine storage earlier this year in the winter, when the threat of overheating wine wasn’t as great. But with the hot temperatures we have been having, I thought it was important to revisit this topic and offer some suggestions on how to protect your wine stash this summer. I would love to have a climate-controlled wine cellar in my house, but since I do not have one right now, I have to find other ways to keep my wine from going bad. This means taking into consideration not only where it is stored, but how. If you’re like me and don’t have a wine cellar, you can still properly store wine and keep it for years to come. Bottles should always be laid down horizontally to keep the corks moist and let the wine settle. This is important, especially for sparkling wines. You may see some noticeable sediment in the bottle after it lies down for an extended amount of time; this is usually normal and does not mean the wine has gone bad. I currently store my wine in a rack and cabinet in my open-concept living and dining room area where it stays relatively cool and isn’t exposed to sunlight. While most wines still have a true cork, some have synthetic corks and others have screw caps. For best results, keep all wine bottles horizontal in a place where they won’t be disturbed by vibration or movement. Locations like the kitchen, which has appliances that run and vibrate, are not ideal. The kitchen is actually one of the worst places in the house to store wine, yet one of the most common. With temperatures reaching above 90 degrees outside, it’s not unusual to have our homes heat up too. Heat and humidity are enemies of wine and will cook it, rendering it undrinkable. Wine in direct sunlight, in the path of strong lamps that give off heat, in close proximity to kitchen appliances, or in a humid environment can become cooked. Wine that is exposed to heat or humidity will taste “hot,” like it has a lot of alcohol in it. Even minimal exposure can cause a lot of damage. Ideally, wine should be stored in a dark environment. Wine’s nose, or smell, is usually the best way to tell if the wine is bad or not. If the wine is oxidized, which means too much air has gotten into the bottle, the wine will lose its color, flavor and aroma. This can happen before a wine is opened if the cork is bad or not secured properly, or after a bottle has been opened and sits too long. Champagne is a great example of this. Once it’s opened, it is best consumed right away as it will lose

its effervescence and become flat like soda. The ideal temperature range for wine is 50 to 55 degrees, with 65 to 70 percent humidity. It should be stored in a place that meets these criteria and where it won’t be subjected to drastic temperature changes. Ideally, the temperature should stay consistent, because changes in temperature can cause the cork to shrink and expand, letting air into the bottle, which can lead to oxidation. If you’d like to try storing wine in your basement, Modern Wine Cellars has some tips. If your basement isn’t completely underground, they recommend storing wine against a subterranean wall. Taking measurements ahead of time before you move the wine is also a good idea, so you can make sure the humidity isn’t too high and there aren’t drastic temperature fluctuations. Basements should be free of any strong odors, as they can get into the wine and spoil it. If the basement floor is damp, wine should be kept up off the floor in a rack. There are many build-it-yourself wine rack kits on the market that vary in price and size. Modern Wine Cellars recommends redwood racks because redwood is odorfree, doesn’t need staining or finishing and resists rot and mildew. Soft woods, like pine and Douglas fir, can warp under moist conditions unless you seal them. However, they are low-cost options and are easy to work with. If you are thinking, “OK, it’s hot! I’ll just put my wine in the fridge,” you should only plan to store it there for a short time, unless you have a designated wine fridge. Regular food fridges aren’t ideal for long-term storage because the humidity and temperature can fluctuate and the wine can be exposed to food odors.

Featured art

Meet two Seacoast artists By Scott Murphy

news@seacoastscene.net

LowellSummerMusic.Org No Ticket Fees

The Seacoast Artist Association regularly selects featured artists from among its membership and exhibits their collections for a full year. Nancy Morgan and Renee Giffroy are two such artists whose works are currently on view at the SAA gallery at 130 Water Street in Exeter.

Meet Nancy Morgan

Thursday, July 14

Armed with just a black and white photograph, Nancy Morgan stitches detail-rich quilts that meticulously depict the life and landscapes of the New England seacoast. If not for close inspection of the piece’s stitch marks, her quilts could easily be mistaken for vivid paintings of tinkered photographs. Morgan uses her photos as guides for the quilts she envisions making and chooses to print them in black and white to enhance the depth and shadows of the images. “Each color you see in the piece is either fabric or thread; there is no painting involved,” Morgan said. “The pieces of fabric are sewn in layers, starting from the back of the scene to the front. Small works can take 10 days, and larger ones up to three months.” Morgan does all of this without any formal artistic training or education. She combined her childhood loves of fabric and dancing by sewing costumes for herself and other girls, doing so in lieu of paying for dance classes. She studied dance and costume design in college, providing the final impetus for her career as a fabric artist. A Portsmouth native now residing in Maine, Morgan credits her lifelong residence on the Seacoast as a key inspiration

for her work. “As with many, in youth I may not have fully appreciated the beauty and vitality of the Seacoast. Now, I cannot get enough of it, and this is reflected in my work,” said Morgan. “I have ventured into other areas of interest with my work, but I ultimately come back to my love of the Seacoast.”

Meet Renee Giffroy

When people see one of Renee Giffroy’s “Boatscapes” pieces, they can’t believe they’re looking at a photograph of a fraying boat hull and not a Rothko-esque painting. But that’s the purpose of Giffroy’s hours-long boatyard excursions: abstracting an oft-overlooked object into a beautiful piece of art. “I like [boats] that have been beaten and battered by the sea and have lots of chips and imperfections,” said Giffroy. “What you think is an imperfection is often the thing that provides impact to the final image.” Giffroy’s foray into full-time photography dates back to her childhood, when she followed her father on hobbyist expeditions and eventually bought his hand-me-down equipment. While working for IBM, she continued her passion by taking photography classes at local colleges, often taking vacation time to print images and attend photography workshops. She eventually landed a weekend gig as onsite events manager of National Geographic Traveler Magazine’s one-day photography seminars. “Fortunately, my husband loves to go to

interesting places,” said Giffroy. “He lovingly refers to himself as my ‘sherpa’ when we go on photography expeditions, like we did in Africa, the Galapagos and rafting down the Grand Canyon.” After Giffroy and her husband relocated from Connecticut to Rye three years ago, she quickly assimilated into the local art culture, joining the SAA and being elected as VP of the board of the New Hampshire Art Association. “That move up to this beautiful area provided me the opportunity to leave IBM and focus on my photography, especially since I love to photograph coastal images,” said Giffroy.

us of his impressions of the land and people. It’s all rather pedestrian except for the fact that Bryson has that splendid wit that can turn a simple afternoon visit to a field into something that is all about the history of cow attacks (which apparently happen far too often in England.) Takeaway? When you travel in the fields of England, good advice is to both watch where you step and watch your back against any and all roving cows.

The beauty of Bryson’s writing is that he constantly aims to educate, inform and entertain his readers. That’s no small feat. I compare some of Bryson’s books to others’ “travelogues” that often focus on opulence and “me, me, me,” and quite frankly there is no comparison. Bryson writes for his readers and his readers appreciate it. The main difference between Dribbling and Bryson’s other books is that in this one instead of sticking to the travels, he tends to veer off on rants about modern problems like the internet, celebrities and even poor grammar. Although there are some who find this to be a failing, I simply see it as the “get off my lawn” part of getting older. I mean, let’s face it, aren’t we all a little sick of technology and knowing everything about celebrities’ “tiny brains, giant boobs, and a knack for entering into regrettable relationships?” While it might be easy to dismiss Dribbling because “it’s just another walk with Bill Bryson,” that’s exactly what contributes to its charm. Bryson is a supreme artist in his sarcastic narrative. Sure, he’s a little slower these days, a little less inclined to take chances, but he’s still there using his divine wit to give us true and clever impressions of his travels. B+ — Wendy E. N.

Love alone

G. Love plays solo club show in Hampton By Michael Witthaus

news@seacoastscene.net

Before Garret Dutton became G. Love and found his Special Sauce bandmates, he played solo coffeehouse gigs in Philadelphia, his hometown. So a brief tour sans Sauce, which stops at Bernie’s Beach Bar in Hampton on July 16, is a return to his roots — in more ways than one. “I play more of my Delta blues repertoire — Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, Elmore James,” Love said in a recent phone interview. “I have a stomp box and a tambourine for percussive elements.The show’s cool, man.” The singer-guitarist will also perform selections from each of his band’s albums, plus a few surprises. “I have a repertoire of original songs, some that I recorded and some that aren’t, that are solo acoustic,” he said. “It’s a different set.” There’s one thing definitely not missing from Love’s stripped down act: audience response. “It’s funny; I honestly find that people dance even harder, and I am like a whole different musician/entertainer, when I do my solo shows,” he said, adding that he’s honoring the legacy of his musical heroes. “That’s the heart of every great performer. ... You should be able to carry yourself just by you and your instrument.” He and his band will reconvene for a tour G. Love When: Saturday, July 16, at 7 p.m. (doors at 6 p.m.) Where: Bernie’s Beach Bar, 73 Ocean Blvd., Hampton Tickets: $30 at philadelphonic.com

of Japan the week after his Hampton show to continue the momentum from their most recent release. The alt blues-funk trio delivered one of its best albums last fall, Love Saves the Day. It includes guest appearances from Money Mark (Beastie Boys), David Hidalgo (Los Lobos), Ozomatli and Citizen Cope. Lucinda Williams joined on a searing cover of Leadbelly’s “New York City” — it’s among many high points on the disc. A leap of faith secured the Southern chanteuse. “We had a ton of stars. ... Lucinda was the only one we cold called,” Love said. “We had all been huge fans but never met her.” Williams’ manager (who is also her husband) helped grease the wheels; he’s a longtime fan. As one of Best Buy’s head buyers in the mid-1990s, he helped get crit-

ical rack exposure for the up-and-coming band and urged Williams to do the session. “She came down to the studio, and we drank a little wine,” Love said. “It was like meeting your aunt or something. She’s like a couple years older than us, but she’s really cool and laid-back. She’s awesome.” The obscure blues song Love chose for the duet is an ode to seeing the Big Apple for the first time. It’s coupled with a powerful original about leaving NYC called “Back to Boston.” With lines like, “Boston’s cold, man, the women wear too much clothes … but when the sun is shining, they got a lot of leg to show,” the bluesy shuffle is a buoyant celebration of the city. But it’s also very personal for Love. “It’s a very simple song really, but it’s one of those tunes where I felt I had to get to a certain place — my writing, playing and knowledge of the blues,” he said.

“It’s a real story; my ex-fiancée was in New York and I always felt I kind of lost her to the city. ... Many times I’d leave driving with tears in my eyes back to Boston, where I didn’t want to be in the first place. It’s one of those tunes where it has a lighthearted feel to it, but honestly to me it’s super deep, because I lived every word.” Love moved from Philadelphia to Boston early in his career, but his hometown shaped his musical outlook with a melting pot of influences ranging from the Delfonics to Todd Rundgren. “I really think that Philly gave me everything,” he said. “There’s The Hooters, George Thorogood, a lot of people from down in that area. I knew the history of it.” He mentioned jazz great John Coltrane, who got his first saxophone in the city. Music came to him by osmosis. “My first concert I went to physically was in my mom’s stomach for the 1972 Exile on Main Street tour,” he said. He began guitar at age 8 and as a teenager learned Beatles and Dylan songs while keeping an ear toward an emerging urban music scene. “Hip-hop was exploding … there was this whole inner-city youth culture,” he said. He divided his time between the two worlds. “I had this really big juxtaposition between playing folk music in my room and running around listening to hip-hop and living this hip-hop culture. I never thought of the two is being compatible, but ultimately they did collide years later when I was a street musician in Philly. The Roots and Goats were two other bands that melded hip-hop ... and then us; we’re basically like white boy garage band hip-hop blues.”

BEACH BUM FUN HOROSCOPES won’t really be a problem.

By Holly, The Seacoast Area's Leading Astrologer

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The planets are aligned exactly right. Unfortunately, they’re aligned exactly right for you to lose the lottery.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will discover your wife is cheating, which will prompt you to never play Monopoly with her again.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your future is unclear. It involves either a false sense of security or a false set of teeth.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Your future is very bright, which doesn’t quite square with your personality. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Romance will come to you, but certainly not today. Have you seen your hair?

Seacoast Scene Sales Rep (Part Time)

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Do a good deed for someone who doesn’t really deserve it, like yourself.

More and more churches (“hundreds,” according to a June Christianity Today report) offer hesitant parishioners a “moneyback guarantee” if they tithe 10 percent (or more) of their income for 90 days but then feel that God blesses them insufficiently in return. The South Carolina megachurch NewSpring instituted such a program in the 1990s and claims that, of 7,000 recent pledgers, “fewer than 20” expressed dissatisfaction with the Lord. Advocates cite the Bible’s Book of Malachi, quoting God himself (according to Christianity Today): “Test me in this.” “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse” and “see if I will not pour out so much blessing” that “there will not be room enough to store it.”

New World order

A leading Chinese orthopedic surgeon continues to believe that “full-body” transplants are the next big thing in medicine, despite worldwide skepticism about both the science and the ethics. The plan for Dr. Ren Xiaoping of Harbin Medical University calls for removing both heads (the deceased donor’s and the live recipient’s), connecting the blood vessels, stabilizing the new neck, and “bath(ing)” spinal-cord nerve endings chemically so they will connect. (Critics say it is impossible to “connect” spinal-cord nerves.) According to a June New York Times dispatch, doctors regularly denounce China’s ethical laxities (though Chinese officials term such denunciations “envy” at China’s achievements).

Suspicions confirmed

• In June, District Attorney Jerry Jones in Monroe, Louisiana, dropped drug and gun charges against college football players Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones (who play for University of Alabama but are from Monroe), declaring that the “main reason” for his decision is that “I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years working and sweating, while we were all in the air conditioning.” • A Philadelphia “casting” agency solicited “extras” to show up at polling stations on the April 26 Pennsylvania primary day for candidate Kevin Boyle, who was running against state Sen. John Sabatina, offering $120 each (plus lunch and an open bar). Since most polling-site “electioneering” is illegal, the probable job was merely to give voters the impression that Boyle was very popular. (Sabatina narrowly won.) • In January, a Chicago Tribune investigation revealed only 124 of the roughly 12,000 Chicago cops were responsible for the misconduct complaints that resulted in settlements (since 2009) with one officer, for example, identified in seven. (A June

The lawsuit claims that bell-ringer Brennan Papp, 14, charged with criminal negligence and othcaused Wright “severe emotional distress, er crimes for parking his van near Citi Field anxiety, and weight loss,” resulting in at during a Mets game and drawing players’ complaints when he ramped up the van’s least $30,000 of lost income. • The ex-boyfriend of Nina Zgurskaya 80-speaker sound system. “I know it’s illefiled a lawsuit in Siberia after she broke gal, but it’s the weekend,” said Hidalgo. “I up with him for his reluctance to “pop the usually (just) get a ticket.” (2) Trina Hibberd question” after a two-year courtship.

The trial court ruled against him, but had chosen to ignore. In June, it wandered out a 15-foot-long, 90-pound Scrub Python but he is appealing. she calls “Monty.” “All hell broke loose,” a neighbor said later, as snake-handlers took The job of the researcher Monty to a more appropriate habitat. A team of researchers is following about 30 tabbies, calicos and others, recording their moves and sounds, to somehow learn whether house cats have dialects in their meows and alter other patterns of stress and intonation when they “speak” to other cats or to humans. In explaining the project, linguist Robert Eklund (of Sweden’s Linkoping University) personally sounded out “a pretty wide range of meows to illustrate his points,” wrote a New York magazine interviewer in April. Eklund is already an expert on feline purring (at Purring.org) although from a distance, as he admits to being allergic to cats.

Wait, what?

Brigham Young University professor Jason Hansen apologized in May after coaxing a student (for extra credit) to drink a small vial of his urine in class. The physiology session was on kidney function, and Hansen thought the stunt would call attention to urine’s unique properties. He confessed later that the “urine” was just food coloring with vinegar added; that he had used the stunt in previous classes; and that he usually admits the ruse at the next class session. Nonetheless, Hansen’s department chair suggested he retire the concept. Visit weirduniverse.net.
