A WORD FROM LARRY

Town clock making a comeback

Master McGrath’s

In 1897 John T. Brown offered the town of Hampton a “first-class eight-day clock with four dials” and a bell. The clock was to be installed in a tower to be built on the new Odd Fellows building and Larry Marsolais has wooden dials with the words “Memorial Gift.”

On Jan. 27, 1990, the Odd Fellows Hall was ravaged by fire, leaving the building uninhabitable. The clock, badly damaged, remained on the top of the tower, although the weights fell to the ground. In February the clock was dismantled and the parts salvaged. The bell and two of the faces were also saved. An attempt to restore the clock was unsuccessful, and the clock remained in storage for over 15 years.

Robert Webber, a Hampton antiques dealer, came forward and offered to take on the task of restoring the clock and began to put the clock into working order. Mr. Webber’s son Harvey and Cliff Pratt spent several years repairing it too. A small committee has continued to raise funds to fine-tune and house the clock in a new tower.

net Road notice that a new tower is rising in the front lawn. This is the tower that will house the restored Hampton Town Clock. Now it will soon be back and ticking.

The tower will resemble the original clock tower on the Odd Fellows Hall. The original bell has been set in place, the viewing windows have been installed. When the gables on the roof are in place, three new clock faces will be set into the tower. The faces are reproductions of the original, only one of which survived the fire and was in poor condition. They will retain the unusual lettering of the first faces — “Mmemorial Gift,” set clockwise around the face.

As soon as the building is weather-tight, the delicate work of setting the clock in place will begin. The goal is to have the tower completed and the clock running by the time school opens in the fall. For updates on the progress of the work, go to hamptonclock.com.

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.

Military appreciation

Festival a thank you to veterans and active duty military

By Vinny Manfrate

vinny@seacoastscene.net

Redhook Ale Brewery will be saying thank you to active serving military and veterans on Sunday, July 24, with Seacoast Salutes, featuring food, live music and family activities.

The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. As a thank you, active serving military will be granted entry into the festival at no charge for them or their families.

“It’s a big military appreciation event that we hold here,” said Ryan Fleming, banquets and events manager at Red Hook Brewery. “We have a big barbecue, live music, games and kids activities. Sort of an all-day hang out.”

Redhook Ale Brewery previously held a similar festival called Operation Thank You. The brewery brought back the festival in the form of Seacoast Salutes, featuring fun games, events and a barbecue.

Due to not-so-great weather, attendance at last year’s festival fell slightly short but it still drew around 800 people.

“We’re hoping for around 1,500 to 2,000 people to turn out for this year’s festival,” Fleming said.

Activities throughout the day will include live music from local performers Dan Walker, the Mike Dunbar Band, Gretchen and the Pickpockets, the Shifters and Acoustic Radio. Greg Kretschmar from WHEB FM’s Greg and the Morning Buzz will be hosting the festival.

There will be a BMX stunt show along with activities for kids and games throughout the day.

The day-long New England-style barbecue will be catered by Chill Catering.

“We’re hoping a lot of people come; it’s open to everybody,” Fleming said. “We’ll have a mechanical bull, a bouncy house and a bunch of other kids activities along with the performances.”

Admission to the event is $15 general admission, $10 for veterans, free for active serving military and their families,

and children 12 and under also get into the festival for free. Admission to the festival includes one free beer and unlimited food along with activities throughout the day and live music.

According to Fleming, after all expenses are covered, 100 percent of the rest of the proceeds will go to the Chaplain Emergency Relief Fund, which, according to the Seacoast Salutes website, provides quick, temporary financial help to military members and their families who are facing financial struggles in New Hampshire.

If you’re interested in purchasing tickets for the event, volunteering for the event or donating, visit seacoastsalutes.com.

You can also show your support at the festival by taking a picture or a selfie in front of the Seacoast Salutes backdrop or in your own creative way of showing military support and posting that picture on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #ShowYourSalute.

The Red Hook Brewery is at 1 Redhook Way at the Pease International Tradeport in Portsmouth, N.H., 603-430-8600, redhook.com.

Taking a break from work, cell phones and tablets, many choose to catch up on some reading while visiting the beach.

With your feet in the sand, the sun shining down and a good book in your hand, reading on the beach is a relaxing way to escape the real world.

“I think it has a lot to do with the atmosphere, you know, the sand and the water and the sun,” said Liz Herold, adult services librarian at the North Hampton Public Library. “It’s a nice relaxing thing to do and just kind of get away from it all.”

Choose your read

The Scene reached out to librarians all over the Seacoast for their expert opinions on the best books to read in the sand.

Below are their recommendations.

Before the Fall by Noah Hawley (May 31, 2015) Shortly after take-off from Martha’s Vineyard, a private jet bearing two wealthy and influential families and a mysterious artist crashes into the Atlantic Ocean. The only survivors are the artist and a four-year-old child. Together, the two swim to safety. Was the plane crash an unfortunate accident or a deliberate act of conspiracy or terrorism? The author takes us through the passenger list, person by person, all of whom are potential targets. As the investigation into the crash continues, facts about the victims and the survivors emerge. The artist who swam to safety with the little boy should be a hero, and he is, until the media takes hold of the news event and transforms an act of heroism into a frenzy. This character-driven thriller demands to be read in one sitting. If you read it on the beach, the only drawback is that you will forget to reapply the sunscreen! — Barbara Tosiano, director of the Hampton Falls Free Library Also recommended by Christine Singleton, circulation assistant of the Lane Memorial Library, who called it “fascinating and enjoyable, a perfect summer beach read.”

The Murder of Mary Russell by Laurie R. King (April 5, 2016) Fans of Sherlock Holmes are familiar

with the Mary Russell series.

In this series, an older Sherlock Holmes marries a much younger Mary Russell, who becomes his partner in investigations.

However, this novel could stand alone.

Mrs. Hudson, the staid and proper housekeeper bearing a tea tray in the Sherlock Holmes stories, has a past. The person closest to us may not be what she seems.

Appearances can deceive and Mrs. Hudson’s story is a “corker.” — Barbara Tosiano The Homecoming of Samuel Lake by Jenny Wingfield (July 12, 2011) If you haven't read The Homecoming of Samuel Lake, it should be first on your list of beach reads.

Reminiscent of To Kill a Mockingbird, this coming-of-age novel involves humor, drama, and mystery to keep the pages turning. Covering a wide spectrum of genres, it appeals to many BOOK STORES Visiting the Seacoast for the day and forgot your book? Below are some local bookstores to help you dig into a new read on the beach.

readers and leaves you wanting a sequel!

— Susan Grant, Director of North Hampton Public Library The Night of the Comet by George Bishop (July 30, 2013) Another first-time novel you may have missed was named one of the best books of 2013 by Kirkus Reviews.

A 14-year-old boy in a small southern town receives a telescope from his father, the high school science teacher to track the comet Kohoutek in 1973.

A story that weaves science, astronomy, love, loss and the emotional intricacies of family that draws you in and keeps you riveted until the last page. — Susan Grant Summer Sisters by Judy Blume (May 4, 1998) The ultimate beach read; it is truly a classic! Even though this book was originally published in 1998, I recommend Summer Sisters to someone new

The Nest by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney (March 22, 2016) This book has been immensely popular at the North Hampton Public Library this summer. We have three copies of his book that all have a wait list; this just might be the “book of the summer!” The

Nest follows the dysfunctional Plumb family, adult siblings who are all anxiously awaiting the payday from their joint trust fund, “the Nest.” Of course, tensions brew and complications arise. Although at times you may very much dislike the Plumbs, you will still want to follow them on their journey. The Nest is a breezy summer read that may just make you feel better about your own family! — Liz Herold

And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini (May 21, 2013) This novel is about how we love [and] take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations. In this tale revolving around not just parents and children, but brothers and sisters and cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us at the times that

Summer Sisters follows the complicated and intense friendship between Victoria “Vix” Leonard and Caitlin Somers beginning in the summer following the sixth grade until adulthood. Judy Blume expertly captures the complexity and heartache that can sometimes define female relationships. While reading, you will become so attached to the characters that you will experience every betrayal, disappointment and joy as if it is your own.

Hampton and Salisbury Beaches offer long stretches of sand for you to read on, but there are also plenty of other beaches along the coast that are perfect for hunkering down with a good book.

“I really ever only go to Jenness Beach,” said Liz Herold of the North Hampton Public Library. “It can get crowded there but there are certain areas that you can go to and sort of get away.”

“I personally go the North Beach [in Hampton] all the time to read,” said Barbara Tosiano of the Hampton Falls Free Library. “There’s people there but it’s never overly crowded. Just have to watch the tide so you don’t end up getting you and your book wet.”

Here’s more information about those beaches, plus a few other suggestions.

Jenness State Beach (2280 Ocean Blvd, Rye, N.H., 603-227-8722) Parking is available for 67 vehicles with pay stations that accept cash and coins as well as debit and credit cards. Long stretches of sandy beach offer a good chance of finding the perfect spot to enjoy a book under the sun. There is

also a bathhouse available.

Another great reading beach in Hampton, N.H., is North Beach (920 Ocean Blvd, Hampton N.H., 603-227-8722).

You’ll find many surfboards at this beach as it is a favorite among New England surfers. Just north of the Hampton Beach State Park, North Beach is a great place to check out if you and your family are in the mood for something a little different or if you’re looking to catch some awesome waves. Be sure to grab a sandy spot on the beach or lay out on the sea wall with your favorite book. There is metered parking available.

Located in North Hampton, N.H., the North Hampton State Beach (27 Ocean Blvd, North Hampton, N.H., 603-2278722) is a family friendly beach-going experience — a place for swimming, picnicking, taking a walk along the beach and exploring. It is a bit rockier, but readers can grab a spot on the sea wall to enjoy a book away from larger crowds.

For great views while you take in a favorite novel, visit the Rye Harbor State Park (1730 Ocean Blvd, Rye, N.H., 603-

227-8722), where you can see the Isles of Shoals and maybe even drop a fishing line in the water while you read. With picnic tables and public restrooms, the park is perfect for a couple of hours between you and a book.

Rye is also home to Odiorne Point State Park (570 Ocean Blvd, Rye, N.H., 603-227-8722). This state park is great for picnicking and walking or hiking the trails.

There is plenty to explore, so bring your favorite book and pick a spot on the trails, at a picnic table or on the rocky beaches.

Admission to the state park is $4 for adults and $2 for children (6 to 11 years old).

Also in Rye, you’ll find the Wallis Sands State Beach (1050 Ocean Blvd, Rye, N.H., 603-227-8722), where you get views of the Isles of Shoals. Before or after a swim, you can knock out a couple chapters either on the beach or in the grassy picnic area where you can relax and read. When it’s time to grab that lunchtime snack or drink, there is a store that sells a variety of snacks, drinks and other beach items, and there’s a bathhouse as well.

individual and society, traces Okonkwo’s fall from grace with the tribal world. The second, as modern as the first is ancient, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo’s world with the arrival of aggressive European missionaries.

Last Night in Twisted River by John Irving (Oct. 20, 2009) In a story spanning five decades, this brilliant novel depicts the recent halfcentury in the U.S. as “a living replica of Coos County, where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course.” This novel has the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller.

In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs the Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a 16-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers. Very funny! — Karen Weinhold

“This Savage Song” by Victoria Schwab (July 5, 2016) The first in her “Monsters of Verity” series is all about monsters. In this dystopian fantasy, violent acts breed actual monsters that drink blood and steal souls.

But it’s also about a boy trying to find his humanity, a girl who is determined to live up to her father’s impossible expectations, and both of their realizations that the people they idolize may not be the heroes they thought they were. While it’s billed as a young adult novel, the vivid fantasy setting, dynamic characters,and elements of horror will appeal to older readers as well.

The Blackthorn Key by Kevin Sands (Sept. 1, 2015) You won’t want to miss this one! This middle-grade adventure/mystery starts off with a bang — well, a BOOM, actually. Apothecary apprentice Christopher Rowe and his friend Tom decide to build a cannon after stealing the master’s recipe for gunpowder.

Why did they decide to fire it indoors? Master Benedict is none too pleased, but he’s a generous master and only forces Christopher to clean the entire shop top to bottom. Following this humorous opening, you’ll be immersed in 1625 England with a mystery that will knock your socks off! Kevin is a master writer whose characters are beautifully drawn. Lots of action will keep your nose in the book while the sand warms your toes!

The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson (Sept. 9, 2009) A reluctant centenarian much like Forrest Gump (if Gump were an explosives expert with a fondness for vodka) decides it’s not too late to start over. — Karen Weinhold Midnight Riot (also published as Rivers of London) by Ben Aaronovitch (Jan. 10, 2011) Peter Grant is a member of the London Metropolitan Police who is expected to move on to a life of mundane paperwork after his probationary period.

However, after he notices some unusual events in his work life he is moved to a police branch he hadn't heard of under the tutelage of one Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale. Soon after he is tasked with investigating a phenomenon that seems to be turning normal people into volatile murderers. Oh, and he thought they

also said something about magic? This is the start of a smart, funny series starring Grant, Nightingale, and others as they investigate normal and increasingly abnormal crimes in a side of London decidedly strange. Short, pulpy, and perfect for a beach read! — Kevin Robbits of the Lane Memorial Library

Modern Loves by Emma Straub (May 31, 2016) Looking for a fresh beach read? Author Emma Straub has written another engaging novel, Modern Lovers.

Her last novel, The Vacationers, was an entertaining story, witty and smart, and I read it quickly. This story builds more slowly but I found myself thinking of the characters between readings. It takes place in Brooklyn and focuses on two families intertwined by previous college romances. Three of the two adult couples were also in a college band and were “almost famous” due to their bit hit song in their heyday. Now they are grown up, each couple raising a child of their own and experiencing the storm and stress of teenagers and their own mid-life crisis. The novel follows all the characters along the uncharted waters of life, with the past rearing its head making life very messy at times. The adults’ problems run parallel to the teens’ in an ironic way that makes you cheer them all

on to keep going and until it all works out! I recommend this book as part of your summer reading; well-written and as satisfying as sitting on a beach on a cloudless 80-degree day! — Gwen Putnam-Bailey of the Rye Public Library The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant (Dec. 9, 2014) I immediately thought about Boston Girl as a great beach read because it has these wonderful summer scenes where Addie, at age 16, begins to go to Rockport Lodge, “an inn for young ladies,” located on the road between Gloucester and Rockport, Mass. She is less well off than many of the girls, but the experiences and friendships change her life. As Addie Baum, daughter of Jewish immigrants living in the North End, tells her story to her granddaughter Ava, we learn about the joys and sorrows of her family’s adjustment to American life in Boston in the early 20th century and enjoy Diamant’s classic friendships

between strong women. — Cathy Okhuysen of the Portsmouth Public Library Carry On, Warrior: The Power of Embracing Your Messy, Beautiful Life by Glennon Doyle Melton (April 2, 2013) If you missed this a few years ago, the beach is the perfect place to catch up on this funny, poignant memoir, since her new book, Love Warrior, comes out in early September.

Her essays on addiction, marriage and motherhood can make you laugh out loud. My personal favorite is where she learns that if washday is Wednesday it means you have to wash and dry your clothes on the same Wednesday otherwise your husband smells like dead mice. She is also brutally honest that sobriety and learning to be an adult is hard work. Glennon Doyle Melton is a new shining light in the constellation of writers like Brene Brown and Elizabeth Gilbert encouraging us to all be more kind and honest in challenging times. — Cathy Okhuysen

What You See by Hank Phillippi Ryan (Oct. 20, 2015) At lunchtime on a beautiful June day, a man is stabbed to death at Faneuil Hall.

Reporter Jane Ryland and Detective Jake

Brogan expect this to be an easy case.

After all, there are hundreds of tourists taking selfies and security and traffic cams everywhere. But who determines what you see in a world of constant surveillance? What You See is the latest mystery by Hank Phillippi Ryan. The chemistry between Jane and Jake, the fast-paced action and the Boston location make it a perfect beach read.

Dear Car Talk: I used to own an ‘81 Ford Fairmont.

Although it was a great first car, I recall it having a rather peculiar issue (perhaps it was by design?): While the air conditioner was on, if I pressed the gas pedal enough, the pedal would lock, such that if I were on a level grade, the car would accelerate to 45 mph (even after removing my foot from the pedal). If I pressed hard enough on the brake pedal, the accelerator pedal would release.

Now, here’s the peculiar part: Turning off the

Joe's-Seacoast_Layout 1 6/20/16 2:46 PM Page 1

air conditioner would immediately release the gas pedal as well. Was this by design?

Thanks! — Jon Not unless Ford was trying to get a jump on Audi in the unintended-acceleration race of the 1980s, Jon. Maybe Ford wanted all the free publicity that came with that?

The ‘81 Fairmont, like most cars of that era, had something called an idle-up solenoid. The purpose of the idle-up solenoid was to raise the engine’s idle speed when a heavy load was imposed on the engine. And the air conditioner was exactly the kind of heavy load they were thinking of. It demands a lot of power from the engine, so it can drag down the idle speed and cause the car to stall.

So, by design, whenever you turn on the air conditioner, this idle-up solenoid kicks in, and raises the idle speed.

However, it’s only supposed to raise the idle speed a few hundred rpm. It sounds like in your case, it was raising the idle speed a few thousand rpm! So it was out of adjustment ... OK, way out of adjustment. But an adjustment probably would have fixed it.

I don’t blame you for ignoring it, though.

I’m sure it was quite a thrill to have your ‘81 Ford Fairmont accelerate to 45 mph under any circumstances.

How long have you owned the restaurant?

Twenty-one years. I opened it with my father. He wasn’t here for the day-today operations, but he was always here for support. I worked with him for about 15 years before he passed away. Now, I operate the restaurant with my husband, Jake, who became involved maybe about 15 years ago after we were married.

As a seasonal business in terms of your restaurant, what is your biggest business challenge?

It’s staffing, although our chef has been with us for 16 years, so we are very fortunate in that respect. Our front-ofhouse management has been here for six years. We have many repeat employees, but probably about half [are] core staff and the rest is new each year. People graduate from school, move away, get other jobs — there is always a need to add other staff and that is challenging.

Any secret to your success?

Consistency is very important. I think being present in the restaurant very early on was important, too. People see that I work hard. When this restaurant opened 21 years ago, nothing had been here for years. Over time, we worked with the Chamber [of Commerce] and were just present in the community and a part of things — that was important for us.

Any changes you have seen through the years?

I feel like we have seen a great increase in day trippers and also people staying in new hotels and condos. There is a new renovation across the street from us, too.

There are more families here. People can see the changes that are taking place.

Hampton Beach is a hidden gem. We have plenty of parking. When you look out the window, it is spectacular. It is a beautiful setting.

CAROL CORONIS WITH ZABEL

The mighty sea can be unpredictable — calm and beautiful one minute and something to be reckoned with the next. So while the masses take a day or two off at the beaches this summer, baking on the sand and trying to catch the biggest wave, behind the scenes an entire crew of lifeguards is there to ensure everyone’s safety.

On Thursday, July 28, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the New Hampshire State Beach Patrol and Hampton Beach Lifeguards, in collaboration with myriad public agencies, will host a Water Safety Day on the sands in front of the Seashell Stage to show you what goes on to ensure your day at the beach stays safe.

The State Police and Marine Patrol, the international water safety agency U.S Lifesaving Association, New Hampshire Fish and Game, the U.S. Coast Guard and Hampton fire, EMS, and police units will be available for Q&A sessions as well as handson demonstrations and free takeaways.

Also on the roster are live recovery demonstrations such as surf rescues and water reel drills, whereby a swimmer is clipped to a lifeguard tube and pulled in from shoreline guards.

“A couple of things inspired us to have a water safety day this year,” said Brian Wilson, the Seacoast regional supervisor of the state Division of Parks and Recreation.

“Last year we held the Northeast New England Lifesaving Championship at Hampton, and we were really pleased with the turnout of lifeguard agencies and the public’s response and interest. We wanted to continue with that tradition of highlighting the efforts of the lifeguard program and pointing out the skills they have.”

Wilson stressed the importance of collaborating with other agencies on safety.

“The state park runs a lot of community-related events, like interpretive nature programs and hiking. Specific to the Seacoast, there are a lot of other agencies involved for water safety,” he said.

Co-captain of the Hampton Beach Lifeguards Alexis Valhouli explained the rigorous training lifeguards endure to protect the beaches.

“We actually overqualify our standards to meet and exceed the national standards set by the USLA,” he said. “It starts in the pool with a 500-yard swim and mile run that has to be finished in 17 minutes. Then in May we do a run-swim-run test, and the interview process follows, when we begin our selections,” Valhouli said.

A day in the life of a lifeguard is strenuous, with daily training beginning at 9 a.m., which could include a three-mile run, surf rescue or CPR training, to name a few possibilities. Come 10 a.m., the guards take to their stations.

“After we hire, it’s pretty intense. The training is continuous and we have a lot of athletes. The luxury of the USLA is that it’s ongoing training from hire to the end of summer,” Valhouli said. “Unfortunately, if you don’t meet the requirements or can’t keep up with the daily drills, you have to be let go.”

Responsible for five miles of coast at Hampton, they have a full staff of 36 guards,

20 to 25 of whom are stationed on the beach on a daily basis, switching from post to post in circulation.

“The main operations of the Hampton Beach lifeguards are the main beach and North Beach [at] North Hampton State Park. We do work with and share resources with Jenness and Wallis Sands beaches, who have similar programs and procedures,” Wilson said.

According to Valhouli, the weather and water conditions drive the level of safety, so it varies from day to day.

“It depends on the conditions of the surf.

So right now we’re in a mini heat wave and it’s a pretty flat day, so we’ll be more concerned with sand-related issues like heat exhaustion. It’s also going to be high tide in the afternoon, so there’s a danger of lost children,” he said.

Water and beach safety are based on prevention, Valhouli said. The guards red-flag areas of rip tides or danger zones.

“There’s always a chance of flashers sparking up and taking out a swimmer, but we do a lot of precautionary steps,” he said.

And contrary to any alarmists’ beliefs, there’s no threat of sharks in New Hampshire.

“To be honest, I’m in my 29th summer here, it’s never been an issue. It’s not something we worry about or concentrate on. It’s not a concern,” Valhouli said.

Preventive knowledge about water safety is what they concentrate on to save lives, according to Valhouli, which is the main reason they’re hosting the Water Safety Day. “Our motto is, ‘Knowledge is Power.’

Knowledge is what we want to give people,” he said.

As the Stratham Fair returns for its 49th year, the town itself will be celebrating an even lengthier anniversary — its 300th year since settling.

The fair, taking place Thursday, July 21, through Sunday, July 24, is widely recognized as one of the oldest traditional country fairs in New England. It started way back in 1966 as a small party to celebrate the town’s then-250th anniversary, with a chicken barbecue and a lobster bake as the main attractions. After the success of that party, the town decided to host a full-blown fair and held its first official one the next year, in 1967.

The families of the original fair founders are still involved nearly 50 years later with those old favorites — the barbecue and lobster bake — but the fair has evolved into an event that attracts more than 20,000 people each year and is filled with live entertainment, local vendors, 4-H agricultural exhibits, games and more.

A special 300th-anniversary play called “Inspired by the Past” will be featured at this year’s fair from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday night, following the opening ceremony, and will showcase what the first fair was like.

New this year will be mountain bike stunt shows from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Friday and from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

A 4-H exhibit with an animal parade and animal shows throughout the weekend will be open during the fair, in addition to all the traditional carnival rides.

“The idea behind 4-H is that these are kids who raise these animals to show, so these are animals that are groomed and fed appropriately,” Entertainment Coordinator Vicky Poland said. “I think it’s a tremendous opportunity for kids who may not have grown up in an agricultural envi-

ronment to learn about farm animals, and it’s also a great way for our community to pay homage back to those roots.”

Another favorite among the kids, Poland said, is the pig scramble. Kids get one “scramble” a day, in which they put their name in a lottery to get to be in the pen with baby pigs. If they are successful in catching a pig, then they get to take it home.

Live music and entertainment will be featured every day on two separate stages.

Poland said the smaller Front Porch Stage will feature ongoing sets from local musicians all day. The Main Stage will have music acts and several events that are new to the fair this year.

Friday’s headliners will be the Seacoast-based classic rock band Rosie at 6 p.m. and the Bon Jovi tribute band Livin’ on a Bad Name at 7:30 p.m.

Saturday is “Country Day” on the Main Stage and will feature a country line dancing clinic at 4 p.m. by Michelle Jackson and the DanceFunatics before The Darren Bessette Band, a country and rock cover band, performs a set at 5 p.m.

The fair will close with a fireworks show on Sunday night.

Caren Gallagher, the fair’s director of vendors and concessions, said food and craft vendors both new and old are expected to set up shop each day throughout the fair.

“I have a handful of vendors that are local people, either doing some arts and crafts or [who] have their own local businesses in food,” Gallagher said. “I have your typical home improvement vendor. I also have a guy who depicts a shoemak-

er from the early times. He and his family are actually coming up to do some shoemaking and farming demonstrations, to show what they were like when the town was first founded.”

Gallagher said one of the new vendors this year is a local fudge-making business owner.

“He actually just moved into town, and he’ll be offering fudge from his own startup business,” she said. “He figured it would be a good way to get to know people and that he would try it out.”

For the third straight year on Sunday, businesses and vendors based in New Hampshire will arrive for NH Made Day. Some of the local vendors that will be included are Better Than Average of Barrington, a company that makes jellies and jam from Moxie soda, and Heidi Jo’s Jerky of Derry, which sells locally made jerkies and sausages.

Poland said an old fair favorite coming to this year’s event once again is Josh Landry, a professional chainsaw carver from Massachusetts.

“He is incredible,” she said. “You can visit his stand anytime and he can carve you special custom-made things.”

The Stratham Fair is the annual fundraiser for Stratham’s volunteer fire department, Poland said. She said it’s become a good fundraising opportunity for other local organizations as well.

Tickets can be purchased either any day of the event or online at strathamfair.com. Free parking is available onsite at Stratham Hill Park (270 Portsmouth Ave.). Dogs are not allowed on the fairgrounds unless they are service dogs.

Berry blue

Pick-your-own blueberry season underway

By Jocelyn Humelsine news@seacoastscene.net

Pick-your-own strawberry season may be over, but there’s still plenty of time to fill up pints or quarts of blueberries — that season is expected to last a little longer than usual, until the end of August and maybe into September.

Pete Wagner of Applecrest Farm Orchards in Hampton Falls, a fourth-generation family-run farming mecca, said it’s been a drier and cooler season, resulting in a longer maturity time for the fruit to ripen and thus a bit later picking dates than normal.

“We’ve been seeing this phenomenon over the course of the last few years.

Recent springs and early growing seasons have been cooler. The good news is that there have been fewer rainouts for our pick-your-own customers,” Wagner said.

“And our blueberry crop is the biggest we have seen in a number of years. The bushes are loaded. We just have to be patient for them to ripen up.”

Ann Cantelmo of Heron Pond Farm in South Hampton, a year-round CSA and farm stand, agreed.

“Our pick-your-own is open when we are, seven days a week. We have a huge crop this year and had to tie some branches up that were weighed down with all the fruit they are carrying,” she said.

Ron Laurence of the aptly named Blueberry Bay Farm in Stratham, which has 1,300 bushes on its 12 acres, has seen an increase in the blue-hued berry’s popularity.

“It improves every year, basically because we emphasize chemical-free crops. More and more people care about short-term and long-term effects of chemicals on their health,” he said.

Laurence said they use the honor system at their farm for pick-your-own customers, “when traffic isn’t sufficient to staff the farm stand. It’s worked very well,” he said.

New Hampshire blueberry varieties aren’t markedly different, the berry pros say.

“I think there’s very little difference among the blueberry varieties, when properly cared for — so little I couldn’t tell the difference if berries were laid in front of me, either by taste or appearance,” Laurence said.

At Applecrest Farm, where the blueberry varieties include Bluecrop, Earliblue, Blueray, Berkeley and Jersey, Wagner agreed that while there are basic differences regarding sweetness and maturity or size

and firmness, the nuances are just that.

“The differences are not as distinct as they are in apples.

We pick and sell our blueberries according to maturity, and each variety basically matures at different times. So we do not separate and sell our blueberries by variety, as we do apples.

Apples have distinct flavor and color differences, and we can refrigerate and

store apples for a protracted length of time. Blueberries are perishable and have to be sold immediately,” Wagner said.

But that necessary immediacy means pick-your-own customers get the very best, just-off-thebush flavors.

“There is nothing fresher, more nutritious or tastier than picking from a living plant,” Laurence said.

In a half-gallon pitcher, mix together: 1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (or juice

from 6 large lemons) 1/4 cup 100-percent blueberry juice 1 cup sugar Enough cold water to make 1/2 gallon Serve over ice on a hot day.

Well, we’re a dying breed, a made-fromscratch bakery. We use premium ingredients such as Cabot European butter, King Arthur flour and Lindt chocolate.

You also have to be able to explain to the customer that this isn’t a Wal-Mart or Market Basket product.

Wine, I’m missing you

Muddling through a clean eating program

By Stefanie Phillips

news@seacoastscene.net

! g n i k r a P Free

Ocean View Dining

I really like wine. That should come as no surprise considering I write this column every week. Recently, my gym offered a month-long clean eating food program and I (reluctantly) agreed to do it, even though “no alcohol” was clearly stated in the first set of rules. So as I work my way through my longest wine drought in recent memory, here are some things I have learned, and things I have missed about wine during the last few weeks.

I don’t need it, but I like it. I think the hardest part of this program was being told “no, you can’t have that.” Giving up a lot of foods was hard enough, but giving up wine for me was really hard. I say this not because I feel dependent on it, but because I like it. I like to enjoy a glass at night after the gym. I am typically too tired to have much more, and it isn’t every night of the week. But still. I miss opening a bottle. I miss the aromas.

For now I just stare at the wine bottles on my counter and in my wine rack. “I’ll see you soon, friends,” I say. August is coming.

Wine = socializing. One of the hardest days was the Fourth of July, as my boyfriend and I went to a family party where one of my favorite drinks was brought for us to enjoy. I declined and watched others sip it, enjoying its refreshing tropical notes and crisp finish. Wine equals socialization for me, and holidays typically always include it. I still enjoyed myself,

and it was quite nice not to have any kind of hangover during the long weekend, but the temptation was certainly there.

I can appreciate it more. The last few weeks have given me a new appreciation for both food and wine. This program was designed to teach us to be more conscious about what we are consuming and properly fuel our bodies. I understand that alcohol doesn’t really fit into that, but wine is a part of my life. I appreciated it before as something to be enjoyed and not abused, and that has only deepened over the last few weeks. I am looking forward to enjoying a glass soon. It will be like meeting up with an old friend. In the meantime, here are some notable events and other things going on.

“We came to the city because we wished to live haphazardly, to reach for only the least realistic of our desires, and to see if we could not learn what our failures had to teach, and not, when we came to live, discover that we had never died,” writes Kristopher Jansma in the opening line of Why We Came to the City, a novel set in New York. That wonderful, Thoreau-inspired opening aside, the characters in Why We Came to the City remind me an awful lot of the television show Friends. Jansma creates a sort of bubble around the main characters that feels very Friends-like. But that bubble does not last. Though it does have its own humor at times, this often frustrating story is hardly a comedy.

The 20-something characters include Irene, an artist and an assistant at an art gallery; Jacob, a loud-mouthed, often obnoxious poet; George, an astronomer who secretly drinks too much; and his longtime girlfriend, soon-to-be-fiancee, Sara, who is the obvious glue that holds the group together. And then there is William, who finds himself thrust into this group of friends as he falls in love with Irene.

The characters all fit in their cocoon with their inside jokes, routine activities and seemingly constant connectedness, until the group is dealt a harsh shot of reality when Irene is diagnosed with cancer. Without a family for Irene to turn to, the friends take turns accompanying Irene to her myriad appointments and generally being there when needed. It is touching and symbolic (and sometimes a little too much).

Where Jansma’s writing shines is not in the scenes in which the group is together, but rather when the characters are by themselves with their own thoughts. That helps the reader dive into each character more deeply. For example, for a good chunk of the novel, I found Jacob’s character unlikable and annoying. But Jansma saves an extended section for Jacob in which his thoughts and vulnerabilities are revealed, and it ended up being my favorite part of the book. Together, the group is quirky and witty and smarter than everyone else, but apart, the individuals are more real.

They are unsure of themselves. They question what they are doing with their

lives. That contradiction between together and apart resonates strongly in Why We Came to the City.

While the bulk of the novel centers on Irene and her plight with cancer, it is William and Jacob who carry the novel.

They are the ones Jansma spends the most time developing. Despite tragedy, Sara and George, the perfectly happy couple (who have their own issues), never have to question their future, at least together, in the face of tragedy. But the future is far more murky for Jacob and William, and Jansma shows off their respective depth in the second part of the novel, which opens again with homage to Thoreau as Jansma explains “Why We Left the City.”

Jansma writes of a moment of understanding for William, “Sitting there [in someone else’s clothes], and his new hat and the scarf from Irene, he felt almost like another person entirely…. That was what Irene had learned. How to be someone new.”

Why We Came to the City is really about how a group of people move forward, or not, in the face of major adversity.

How does the group change? Can it hold together? And was it all worth it?

Jansma creates a comforting bubble for these characters and then blows it up, leaving them off kilter and uncertain not just of themselves but of where they stand with each other and how they all fit together — and whether they do anymore. B- — Jeff Mucciarone

Classic brand Foreigner keeps it going

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

Back in the days before grunge ate hair metal and wiped its mouth with a flannel sleeve, Kelly Hansen had a nice gig.

As lead vocalist for melodic hard rockers Hurricane, he toured with the likes of Stryper and Gary Moore. Life was good, and his band even scored a few hits. Then bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana shoved his genre into irrelevancy.

So Hansen got into producing and artist development.

“No one wanted to hear a voice like me, so I started doing other things in the business; I knew I had to wait it out,” he said in a recent phone interview.

That lasted a dozen years before Hansen realized, “I’m not doing what I’m best at, which is singing. I decided to be more proactive about joining a band.”

Around this time, Foreigner co-founder Mick Jones was organizing a charity show in Santa Barbara, California. The guitarist was putting out feelers for a singer to replace Lou Gramm, who played his final show with the band in 2003.

“I made some calls and I talked to management,” Hansen said. “After a back-and-forth process of a couple months … I jammed with them for like an hour and a half. They called me an hour later and said, ‘We’re booking shows for next weekend; could you start rehearsing tomorrow?’”

Just like that, Hansen went from toiling in the trenches to performing some of classic rock’s sturdiest songs, like “Hot Blooded,” “Urgent” and the proto-power ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You.” For a guy who only wanted to sing, it was a

dream come true.

As Foreigner’s new lead vocalist, Hansen plays it faithful, but purposely isn’t a doppelgänger.

“I brought my own shoes; I don’t try to be anybody else,” he said. “I like the songs the way I learned to love them, and I think that’s the way most people like to hear them. So I’m injecting myself in there, but this is Foreigner doing Foreigner. … They don’t need me to change them.”

Asked the inevitable question — what’s his favorite song? — Hansen demurs.

“As a guy who sings for a living, I have this great selection of songs to sing every night,” he said. “You know how sometimes you’re in the mood for an apple and others an orange? Some nights the

band’s really feeling one song and the next it’s another. They’re all great, so I never lose.”

Hansen believes his background as a Big ’80s rocker is an asset; he isn’t a twentysomething recruit from some karaoke bar.

“I think that’s part of what all of these members bring to the table,” he said.

“We’ve all been around the block and have an understanding of what it takes to make it happen.”

Another benefit of Hansen’s years in service: His singing has seasoned.

“Ten or 15 years earlier my voice probably wouldn’t have been right for this,” he said. “I think as I got older it kind of thickened up a little bit, and I think my vibe fits the band a little more now than it

would’ve a long time ago.”

With Jones the sole remaining original member of Foreigner, there’s a notion that the 2016 vintage is a brand, not a band. Hansen’s having none of it, noting that such trash talk began long before he stepped up to the microphone to sing “Double Vision.” When their self-titled debut came out in 1977 — coincidentally, the year punk rock broke in America — cynics lobbed spitballs; Foreigner’s gold records kept piling up.

“People said that Foreigner was created in a board room somewhere by record company executives and it’s so not true,” Hansen said. “I’ve always been a fan of commercial pop and rock music. Back in the ’70s, you couldn’t say that without people looking at you sideways, but that’s what I’ve always been. Foreigner was one of the best bands at doing that.”

Haters gonna hate, Hansen allows.

“These are intense songs and they bring out very intense reactions in people,” he said. “But that kind of bow and quiver, it’s a great thing to have.”

The perks are cool, too, and getting better as Foreigner’s 40th anniversary approaches in 2017. “We’re traveling around … Israel, Belgium, Switzerland, England, that’s always fun,” Hansen said. “We’ve already done the Lincoln Center, and we’re going to play at Carnegie Hall and the Royal Albert Hall. That’s a lot of high-end places for a band like ours to be stomping into.”

other people chased him from the WalMart parking lot in Eagle Point, Oregon, drawing the attention of a passing rider on horseback (Robert Borba), who joined the chase and moments later (according to a report in Portland’s The Oregonian) lassoed the man and restrained him until police arrived.

• A kite surfer on a Sussex beach south of London got into trouble on June 26 and was unable to float back to land until he was rescued by two Good Samaritans in kayaks. The saviors happened to be dressed as Batman and Robin for participating in the Shoreham Beach Superhero Paddle.

Wait, what?

magazine interviewed several “friends” in June, one of whom explained: “Japan is all about face. We don’t know how to talk from the gut. We can’t ask for help.”

Said the female “friend” (who offered a good-bye handshake to the interviewer): “There are many people who haven’t been touched for years ... who start to cry when we shake hands with them.”

But it’s our “policy”!

Good Samaritan Derrick Deanda is facing a $143 bill from paramedics in Elk Grove, California, after he, passing a car crash, jumped out to pull out a man and his three children (including a 2-yearold), who were trapped in the wreckage.

A short time later the paramedics arrived and, noticing that Deanda had a cut on his arm (from breaking the car’s window to free the family), bandaged him. Elk Grove has a policy charging “all patients” at a first-responder site $143 for the “rescue,” and Deanda received his bill in June.

Not only are almost all federal employees above average, they are nearly all superior workers, according to a June Government Accountability Office review of agencies’ personnel-rating results. (Yes, the review included the departments of Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security.)

Most agencies use a 1 (“unacceptable”) through 5 (“outstanding”) rating sys- Least competent criminals tem, and GAO found that 99 percent Not Ready for Prime Time: In May, a were rated either 5 or 4 (“exceeds ‘fully 16-year-old boy in Lakewood, Washingacceptable’”). ton, not only used Facebook to set up a marijuana-dealer robbery (one of many Weird Japan people, lately, to incriminate themselves Client Partners is only one of sever- on social media), but during the robbery al Japanese agencies that supply rental itself accidentally shot himself in the “friends” to the lonely, for hours or days groin and femoral artery, requiring lifeof companionship tailored to the needs of saving seven-hour surgery.

The town’s latest bright idea: installing a 7-foot-high, 10-by-10-foot brown, inflated plastic “swirly” in the center of town as a reminder to residents to pick up after their dogs. (Spain’s The Local reported in June that other towns have begun to tackle the problem as well, such as with DNA testing of dogs and street-scrubbing punishment for guilty owners.)

• British student Joshua Browder, 19, created an easy-to-use computer app to help drivers fight parking tickets they believe unjust and now reports that users have won 160,000 cases (out of 250,000), all in London and New York City, by following his question-and-answer “chat” interface at DoNotPay.co.uk. Browder said he was motivated to develop the app (which, as of now, is still free of charge) after himself getting about 30 tickets he says he did not deserve.

Attorney Lee Pearlman finally earned an acquittal in June (after two hung-jury trials) for his client Danielle Goeller, one of a seemingly increasing number of drivers who hit pedestrians but claim they were unaware of anybody being hit.

Goeller, 28, a trauma-room nurse with no intoxicants in her system, had struck a 60-year-old man on a busy, heavily lighted Tampa street at 11:45 p.m., cracking her windshield but drove on without stopping. “What does she think she hit?” asked the prosecutor. “A deer? A bear?”

Responded Pearlman, “She’s a scared girl in the middle of the night who doesn’t have the life experience other people do.”

Beautician Sarah Bryan, 28, of Wakefield, England, who garnered worldwide notoriety last year when she introduced a wearable dress made of 3,000 Skittles, returned this summer with a wearable skirt and bra made of donated human hair.

She admits having had to work in an eye mask, breathing mask and thick gloves, out of fear of donors’ hygiene habits.

(More conventionally, designer Van Tran of Brooklyn, New York, won the 12th annual wearable Toilet Paper Wedding Dress design contest in New York City in June, with a $10,000 prize from sponsors Charmin and Ripley’s Believe It or Not.)
