History at twilight

Take an evening tour of city sites

By Vinny Manfrate

vinny@seacoastscene.net

Portsmouth’s historic sites are joining together for a special Twilight Tour on Friday, Aug. 19. The Twilight Tour will take place from 5 to 9 p.m., so visitors can see the historic houses at a time of day when they are seldom seen. The sites will be decorated to portray what dining would have looked like during their respective time periods.

“It’s a great opportunity to [see] all the historic sites in Portsmouth,” said Barbara Ward, “and to have a special evening viewing with special dining scenes. All the houses will be decked out in a way that they are not usually.”

The USS Albacore and the Wentworth-

Coolidge Mansion will have free parking throughout the tour and there will be a shuttle to take visitors between the historic sites.

“You can park at the Albacore if you’d like and jump on the shuttle and see all the houses on your way through the tour,” Ward said.

Each site will have experts on hand to answer questions and to help show visitors what life was like in different time periods.

Each house will simulate candlelight lighting, and the “dining through history” theme will cover the 19th and 20th centuries.

“It’s a tour through time,” Ward said.

According to Ward, the tickets are a great deal. For $18 advanced sale or $20 the night of the tour, visitors will not only get to participate in the tour but will be able to visit the

historic sites throughout the rest of the 2016 season. Tickets for children under 12 cost $8 in advance or $10 the night of the tour.

The first free shuttle will depart from the Albacore Park at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are available online at the Strawbery Banke website (strawberybanke.com) or in person at Discovery Portsmouth (10 Middle St., Portsmouth, N.H.) and at each of the historic site museums. Visit portsmouthhistoricsites.org for more information about the historic sites.

Proceeds from the tour benefit member sites of the Portsmouth Historic Sites Association and PHSA joint programming.

“It’s just a fun and special way to see the sites as they are not usually open in the evening,” Ward said.

The popularity of oysters is rising all around, especially on the Seacoast, and is showing no signs of slowing down. With plenty of oyster beds, oysters farms, oyster bars and even oyster-based events around here, there are many ways to satisfy that oyster craving.

Oyster agriculture

Local oyster farms make their homes along the Great Bay of the Seacoast. The Great Bay’s natural oyster beds make for prime oyster growing and harvesting, says

Chris Phillips of Dover Point Oyster Co., who turned a recreational hobby into a career on the shores of the Great Bay. “When I began, there were probably only around one or two farms out on the Great Bay,” Phillips said. “They were kind enough to show me the ropes.”

Brian Gennaco of the Virgin Oyster Company started off at UMaine studying marine biology and environmental science, followed by managing a shellfish hatchery in Maine, then a finfish hatchery for several years. He eventually settled into oyster farming on the Seacoast.

“I saw an opportunity,” he said, “and started my own farm.”

Farming oysters is a very hands-on process, according to both Gennaco and Phillips. First, the oyster farmers receive their seeds, which are about the size of pepper flakes. Gennaco uses a nursery and a floating dock with a powered pump to pump the water across the oysters. The oysters feed on algae in the water.

“That’s usually how my day starts, and I’m off to the farm to work with my other ag classes,” Gennaco said. “It takes about three years to grow an oyster to market size, and in New Hampshire it’s usually a shorter season. The water is cold and they don’t grow particularly fast.”

Dover Point Oyster Co. leases three acres of Little Bay. Phillips starts his seeds in a similar nursery system for about two months until they grow to be about the size of a thumbnail.

“From there we take them out and put them in a cage on the farm,” Phillips said.

“Then you clean them and you want to add a certain amount of oysters to your farm to get you to harvest.”

Stone Church Oyster Fest If you’re willing to travel a little bit outside of the seacoast, the Stone Church (5 Granite St., Newmarket, N.H., 603-6597700) will be hosting its own Oyster Fest on Saturday, Sept. 17, from 3 to 7 p.m., featuring music from the Barn Burners String Band. Like the Oysterpalooza, the Stone Church Oyster Fest has a mission to raise awareness of the oyster conservation efforts in the Great Bay. Admission to the Oyster Fest free and the event will feature food, music, beer and of course, oysters. Visit stonechurchrocks.com for more information.

Oyster Conservation

According to Amy Broman, chair of the Piscataqua Oysterpalooza, the oyster recycling program is the biggest program that the Coastal Conservation Association of New Hampshire is involved in. The New Hampshire chapter was established in 1992 when the depletion of oyster beds in the Great Bay became a concern.

Oysters are very important to the environment, according to Broman, as they filter water, helping to provide a clean environment for the fish and everything else is their area.

“Fun fact, one oyster can filter up to 40 gallons of water per day,” Broman said.

“That’s pretty important, as well as oysters tasting so good.”

Partnering with Jackson Labs at UNH, the CCA came up with a program where oyster shells are picked up from local restaurants and recycled back into the Great Bay oyster beds.

“We pack up shells once a week from participating oyster bars and restaurants,” Broman said, “and we bring them to Jackson Labs. It’s all volunteers who go and pick up the smelly oyster shells and bring them to the lab to have them dry aged, to

make sure there are bacteria, and then plant them back in the Great Bay.” Broman explained that baby oysters tend to colonize oyster shells that have previously been occupied. Replanting these shells encourages the baby oysters to repopulate these oyster beds. Broman explains that since the program has been in place, they’ve seen a 30-percent rise in

oyster populations in the Great Bay. According to Phillips, the recycling program is important for improving the quality of water for the Great Bay for a natural oyster population that has been having a hard time, especially before the recycling program was implemented. “[The recycling program is] responsible for really bringing in the overall health of

The Coastal Conservation Association of New Hampshire, The Nature Conservancy, Red Hook Brewery and various local restaurants and oyster farms will be teaming up for the sixth annual Piscataqua Oysterpalooza.

The event will happen on Friday, Aug. 19, from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Red Hook Brewery.

Admission costs $5 and children under 12 are admitted for free. One of the main missions of the event is to educate the public about seacoast conservation and the oyster shell recycling program.

“At its core, the event is a fundraiser for the CCA of New Hampshire,” said Amy Broman, chair of the Oysterpalooza. “It’s also a place to gather restaurants and farmers who participate in the recycling program and to give the general public an idea of why it’s important for the seacoast in general.”

Along with valuable information about conservation efforts, the event will feature local Great Bay oyster farms and restaurants showing off their best oyster dishes, all of whom participate in the oyster shell recycling program. In attendance will be Fox Point Oysters, Row 34, Dover Point Oyster Company, The Franklin Oyster House, Cedar Point Oysters, Jumpin’ Jay’s Fish Cafe and the Virgin Oyster Company. The

event will also feature other activities to keep the day active.

“We will obviously be shucking and shelling oysters all day,” Broman said. “We’ll also have other local bites, lawn games, live music and a silent auction featuring a couple camping items and other outdoors types of prizes.”

Inside the festival, food and oyster tickets will be sold in bulk. Four tickets will cost $5 and 12 tickets will cost $15. One ticket equals one oyster or one small sample of food.

Along with tastings, the event is home to the New Hampshire Oyster Shucking Championship. Oyster shuckers will be competing for cash prizes and a place in the national competition.

Along with the competition, the event will feature lawn games and live music throughout the day. The musical guests taking the stand will be the Bowtie Bandits. There will also be a silent auction featuring outdoor items such as camping equipment.

Red Hook Brewery is located at 1 Redhook Way, Portsmouth, N.H.

the Great Bay, which has been decimated previously,” Phillips said. “The natural population has been having a really hard time but the recycling program and the agriculture in the area are putting a lot of oysters back in the water.”

According to Gennaco, the oyster community is working very hard to re-establish the wild population of oysters, and programs such as the shell recycling program are important to that

cause. Gennaco said that oyster shells can and should be going toward good use rather than being thrown away.

“Rather than taking good oyster shells to landfills, we’re using them to create reefs for natural oyster beds,” he said. “Anything that improves water quality improves the farming, and BRIAN GENNACO that's good for us and our vendors.

It’s absolutely a win-win situation.”

Oyster community

According to Gennaco, the oyster community in Great Bay, Little Bay and the connecting rivers is made up of about a dozen farms that work without much competition.

“We’re not competing for resources.

People tend to work together very well,” he said. “It’s a good group of people and we’re all just concerned about the bay’s health and quality of the water. I haven’t met another farmer that I don’t like. It’s just a good group.”

Gennaco said that because farmers work in public space, the sense of community is a big part of the success of oyster agriculture and the industry most likely would not exist without the support of the community.

“When you’re in a public [space] and trying to do something that’s a commercial enterprise,” Gennaco said, “it’s important that you get a lot of community support.”

Executive Chef Francisco Millan of Row 34 describes that what he calls “aquaculture” as the future of the seafood industry.

agriculture and cultivate their own unique oysters make it so that consumers can choose whichever oyster is their favorite or try them all.

“Aquaculture is certainly the future of the seafood industry,” he said. “Pricing, local economy, jobs and responsible and sustainable fishing and farming and certainly the future for not only oysters but the entire seafood industry.”

Find your own oysters According to New Hampshire Fish and Game, a shellfishing license is required to harvest clams or oysters. Resident oyster licenses are available for purchase online at nhfishandgame.com. According to Phillips and Gennaco, natural oysters can only be found in the Great Bay, Little Bay and the connecting rivers. These are all part of the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. According to New Hampshire Fish and Game, only licensed New Hampshire residents will be able to remove oysters from oyster beds.

“The best way to get them is to rake in the shallow waters of the Great Bay,” Phillips said.

Gennaco recommends that anyone who wants to rake out and search for their own oysters speak with New Hampshire Fish and Game. Commercial harvesting for shellfish is not allowed in New Hampshire; oysters may only be harvested for agricultural purposes. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department also recommends that you follow oyster recycling procedures.

To learn more about these procedures, visit oyster.unh.edu/shell-recyling. Visit ccanh.org to learn more about their recyling programs and their efforts to repolulate oyster beds in the Great Bay. You may also visit greatbay.org to learn more about the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve that natural oysters call home.

Back to good

Millan of Row 34 said that oyster popularity seems to come in cycles.

“Oysters are definitely on the rise,” he said. “Oyster bars have spread out. Many years ago, oysters were very popular and then died down and then probably in the last 10 years or so you have a lot of restaurants just placing oysters on their menu.”

Gennaco echoed those thoughts.

“Thirty or 40 years ago, people used to go to the bar after work for a beer and a dozen oysters,” he said. “It has a microbrewery feel to it. People are really connoisseurs for beer, and I’m starting to see that with oysters. It’s grown quite a bit.”

Millan attributes this in part to a shift in how the public views locally grown food and agriculture. With the public perception of what is healthy and sustainable being a priority, there is a great atmosphere for the rise of oysters again.

“People are informed as to what is happening in the food world,” Millan said.

“Also, I think that many of the local oyster farmers have a done a great job of marketing themselves. There is a cult-like following for certain brands of oysters.”

Phillips agrees.

“I think it's attributed to the fresh local movement that seems to be happening,” he said. “Everybody wants to eat what’s made or grown nearby.”

Flavor factors

According to Millan, oysters also make for a great “going-out” meal or activity, comparing oysters to locally brewed craft beers or wine. As with wine or craft beer, the terroir of the oyster fundamentally changes the taste of the oyster. “Terroir” is a French term for the environmental factors that make a wine, craft or even oysters taste or feel different based on the environment they were grown or made in.

“It’s similar to the wine world,” Millan

said, “where the ground and environment where the grapes are grown change the terroir of the wine. It’s a great parallel to oysters and that based on the environment, oysters in one part of the Great Bay will be different than oysters in another part across the bay. The flavor profile may change drastically. It makes wine and beer a great pairing with oysters.”

The local environments and hard work of the farmers mixed with the characteristics of the water all play a part when it comes to the flavor profile of the oyster.

For example, Millan explained that oysters grown at the floor of the Great Bay take on a more algae-like flavor; when they are suspended off the floor and grown, the flavor isn’t as strong.

Gennaco also attributed taste to environmental factors, noting that each farm’s oysters have a unique flavor profile.

“Oysters get their flavor from where they are grown,” he said. “Here in the Great Bay, there is a variability between my farm and other farms. Farms at the mouth of the river or in the deeper water with high salinity are going to have subtle but noticeable difference between other oysters.”

Come As A Stranger, Leave As A Friend

If you would like to prepare oysters yourself, there are a variety of options: raw, fried, lightly grilled, in a stew and more.

Millan had a few tips for those who wish to bring oysters home with them.

“I would recommend that you get your oysters from a reputable source first and foremost,” he said. “Get them from someplace local that you trust. The second thing is, simple is better. Don’t try to overwhelm what you’re doing with bold flavors.” Millan said he and the other chefs at Row 34

have adopted a “less is more” approach to preparing their oysters, highlighting the product above all else — in this case, the oyster.

Millan strongly recommends being cautious of how long oysters are cooking if you choose to cook them.

“They don’t take a long time to cook or grill,” he said. “Always be careful in terms of overcooking.”

CAR TALK

‘Magic’ oil plug probably comprised mostly of snake oil Dear Car Talk: I write to you today about a mystery that has been bugging me for about 60 years. Growing up in Buffalo, New York, I had never been farther west than Cleveland,

By Ray Magliozzi Ohio. In 1957, I drove to summer school at the University of Colorado in Boulder, a journey of 1,550 miles. In those days, radio reception was poor beyond the Mississippi River. In Kansas, the only station played the Everly Brothers and an infomercial for a product that would obviate the need for oil changes for the life of the car. For $5, I couldn’t resist. I soon received a box with an ordinary oil drainage plug; soldered to the end was a tiny chain of three or four links of a whitish metal. The oil had been only slightly discolored on the long road trip from Buffalo, but soon became darker and darker due to a lot of driving on dirt roads, then prevalent in the Boulder area. It soon became almost coal-black, so I headed to a nearby garage for an oil change. The grease monkeys doubled over with laughter when I showed them the oil plug, which they dutifully installed.

But the joke was on them: Even driving many miles on dirt roads, the oil remained clear.

A year later, it was still clear. What was the composition of this drain plug and links?

Thanks! — James I have no idea what it was, but I’m sure it didn’t work. There is no magic potion or magic links that obviates the need for oil changes. There’s a long history in this country of snake-oil products that separate otherwise-reasonable people from their money and don’t do diddly. And most people who fall for these scams use the same logic you did: “Hey, it’s only $5!” Although today it’s more likely to be, “Hey, it’s only $59.95!”

I don’t know exactly why your oil was filthy during that first change and less filthy a year later. It could have to do with the tremendous amount of blow-by you created driving at high speeds across the country with all of your worldly belongings in the car.

Whereas once you were in Boulder, after that oil change, you mostly were driving slower on local roads, for much shorter trips, and without all your stuff weighing down the car. And it’s not unusual for oil to get very dark very quickly once it starts to get dark from contamination. Or maybe, like lots of other people who spend their money on this stuff, you see what you’re hoping to see.

But whatever happened, I can assure you that those links had nothing to do with it.

Dear Car Talk: My parents have a ‘67 Mustang that has been sitting for a few years. They’re going to allow me to drive it if I can fix it myself.

The car runs and drives, but the front tires bend in. The top end of each tire bends in toward the frame. I really do not know what is causing this or how to fix it. I would love any advice on what to do or what to check. I don’t know where to begin. — Michael You probably want to begin with a parttime job mowing lawns, Michael. That’ll help you earn enough money to take the car to a front-end specialist.

I know you want to fix it yourself, but since you’re dealing with the wheels that steer the car, you have to start by finding out whether it’s safe, or can be made safe. So the first thing you should do is take it — or tow it — to a shop and ask them to try to align it.

There are three planes of alignment: There’s toe in/toe out, which is whether the fronts of the wheels point in (like someone who’s pigeon-toed) or out (like a duck-walker). There’s caster, which is the forward-back position of each wheel. That determines how much the steering “self-corrects” back to straight after you make a turn. And then there’s camber, which is when the top of the wheel leans in toward the rest of the car, or

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

out away from it.

So you have positive camber, Michael.

That’s not necessarily a positive thing, but that’s what we call it.

And you want to know why. It could be something simple, like it just needs to be aligned. Or it has worn-out or broken springs.

Or it could be that, back in 1987, your Mom went flying over a 10-inch curbstone at 20 mph and bent everything under the hood.

That may also be why your folks stopped driving it.

But in order to figure out what’s wrong, a shop is going to have to evaluate the condition of all the parts that hold those front wheels in place — the ball joints, the tie rods, the control arms, the control-arm bushings.

And then they’re going to have to prescribe a fix. And if you’re mechanical and you have access to tools and a mentor, then you may want to try to fix it yourself. Or if it’s beyond your capabilities, then keep mowing lawns until you can pay the shop to do it for you.

But start with professional help, Michael (don’t feel bad ... a lot of our readers need professional help). Start by finding out what it will take to make the car safe, and then make your repair plans accordingly. Good luck.

LOU DATILIO CO-OWNER OF NEW HAMPSHIRE ACADEMY OF ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS IN NORTH HAMPTON

By Rob Levey

How long have you been in business?

Our family established the business in 1973. In 2002, my sister Danielle and I took over the management.

What are your biggest business challenges?

Finding quality employees. For parttime people, but really in all our staffing, there is a baseline of gymnastic knowledge I want our staff to have. First of all, it is hard to find that knowledge. Second, our philosophy of teaching is very different than other places’. Their knowledge might not mesh with how we want to teach things. They have to be willing to learn this new philosophy. More on the full-time side, it is hard to find people that see this as a career opportunity. This is a professional occupation — they have to act that way. This is a professional environment.

Daily 11am - 8pm

What is your philosophy?

My goal is to get a kid as good as they can by 18. The question becomes how we can create a sound enough base where we think the sport may go in the next 10 or 15 years. Instead of teaching this at this level and that at that level, we take a broad approach and try to anticipate where things are going.

Lighthouses after dark

Hear ghost stories on a sunset cruise

By Scott Murphy

news@seacoastscene.net

There’s often an intersection between legend, history and personal anecdotes when it comes to the pirates, ghosts and pirate ghosts who call the Seacoast their home. Local paranormal investigator Ron Kolek and lighthouse historian Jeremy D’Entremont will host a Sunset Ghost Cruise on Friday, Aug. 19, to shed light on the Seacoast’s ghoulish history, traversing the waters long after sunset.

The two men first met through Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses, a nonprofit that D’Entremont founded and for which Kolek now serves as chairman.

Lighthouse history and photography has been a hobby for D’Entremont for three decades, and he embraced it as a full-time venture 15 years ago. He’s owned and operated New England Lighthouse Tours for the past nine years and offers various van tours of the region, too.

“Part of what attracted me to lighthouses is their beauty and beautiful surroundings, as well as how interesting the human history of lighthouse keepers and their families,” D’Entremont said. “But they also have symbolic value. They’re built for entirely good reason — to save life and property. Organizations use them all the time to symbolize guidance, safety and hope.”

For years, there have been numerous accounts of bizarre activity at Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, typically revolving around sightings of former lighthouse keeper Joshua Card. He was the longestserving keeper when he retired in 1909 at age 86 after spending 35 years at his post.

Though Card died in 1911, people swear they’ve seen him on the property in uniform and heard unexplainable footsteps and voices in the lighthouse.

Kolek first investigated Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse with his team at the New England Ghost Project, for which he is also executive director and lead investigator, in 2005.

“We’ve had many investigations at Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse over the years, and something interesting happens every time,” said D’Entremont, who became interested in the paranormal after a near-death experience. “There’s always plenty of results that support the believers but never enough to support the skeptics.

To some degree, it’s personal belief.”

After the first investigation, Kolek expressed interest in volunteering for Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses, and he and D’Entremont have since partnered to put on occasional nighttime tours on the grounds of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse.

This year’s cruise on the Motor Vessel Granite State will leave from Rye Harbor at 7 p.m. and sail along Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, Whaleback Lighthouse in Maine and White Island Lighthouse on the Isles of Shoals before returning to harbor around 9:30 p.m.

D’Entremont said these locations all have their resident ghosts, noting that the Isles of Shoals in particular are teeming with ghost and pirate lore. One of Kolek’s favorite stories from the Isles is the female pirate from Boston who used to loot the coast with her husband. They would pretend their boat was in distress and wave for help, then proceed to rob the ships that “rescued” them and kill everyone aboard.

After the couple experienced a legitimate shipwreck, she was saved by a passing ship while her husband perished.

After she returned to Boston to steal from

ships in port, authorities caught and hanged her, making her the last person hanged in Massachusetts, according to Kolek. Legend has it that her spirit still resides at the Isles of Shoals.

Despite all the stories of murder and mayhem derived from the region, Kolek said they’re “not there to do any boogieboogie stuff. We tell you our stories and experiences and try to make it as fun as possible.”

D’Entremont agreed, adding that the “idea isn’t to scare people, but to have a fun evening out on the water where we tell people some good, thought-provoking stories.”

Kolek plans on dressing like a pirate and encourages attendees to do so as well, with prizes being awarded for the best costumes and for anyone who shares a good ghost story of their own.

Tickets cost $29 and usually sell out, according to D’Entremont, with this year’s boat being able to accommodate 100 passengers. Tickets can be purchased at newenglandlighthouses.net/new-englandlighthouse-tours.html.

Volunteers for Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse also run regular tours of the lighthouse every Sunday from Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day weekend from 1 to 5 p.m., with a suggested donation of $4 for adults and $2 for children 12 and under, which benefits restoration and maintenance efforts.

D’Entremont said between 200 and 300 people take tours every Sunday, adding up to more than 5,000 visitors each season.

Parasailing offers three thrills at once

By Jocelyn Humelsine news@seacoastscene.net

Hampton Beach Parasailing and SUP, directly across from Hampton Beach State Park on Ocean Boulevard, specializes in making high-flying dreams come true.

Touting almost 60,000 happy passengers since its sister company in Dennis, Cape Cod, opened in 2003, the Hampton location has been in operation since 2012.

According to Hampton Beach Parasailing General Manager Shantia Phillips, “The experience is like the thrill of skydiving, speed boating and hot air ballooning all at once,” which is why more and more people are opting for this bird’s-eye view of not only the beach below but on a clear day over to the Isle of Shoals.

“This will be our fifth year, and we’ve definitely seen an increase in popularity.

Our biggest way of getting noticed is being out on the water every day possible,” she said.

Owner Michael Tarantino knows that safety is paramount for the passengers and the company. Ongoing technical training and emergency drills are taken seriously, such that their crew, headed by Brandon Bradshaw, has flown almost a quarter million customers, with a 100 percent passenger safety record since 2003.

Additionally, specially designed boats, Ocean Pro 31s, constructed by Commercial Watersports, of New Jersey, are U.S. Coast Guard certified, which ensures they’re equipped to meet the high standards of pulling and flying.

“Frayed Knot is the bright green iconic symbol for Hampton beach. The Ocean

Pro is specifically designed for parasailing.

Diesel with a Volvo engine. You will not find another boat on the water like a parasail boat,” Phillips said.

Besides having a personality trait of adventure-seeking, Phillips said, customers are just out for a good time.

“Our policy is 100 percent fun guaranteed. If you do not have fun, you do not pay.

Parasailing is on most people’s bucket list, which is one of our biggest things we hear,” she said.

SEACOAST SCENE | AUGUST 18 - 24, 2016 | PAGE 32

With one-, two-, and three-person chair capability, you can opt for a mere 500-foot lift or go full-on for the 1,000-foot view, replete with photo packages and GoPro video options.

“We’re one of the only parasail companies that allows 1,000 feet of line. It’s not every day you parasail, and like they say, go big or go home. Guests are allowed to change their minds from 500 feet to 1,000 feet on the boat and actually when they are in the air, using hand signals with the cap-

tain,” Phillips said.

They use seated harnesses specially designed for parasailing.

“It’s basically a big swing in the air. The harnesses are attached to a bar that can comfortably sit up to three people that is then attached to the parachute. We have certain parachutes for specific weather and weight conditions. And, yes, everyone wears a life jacket,” Phillips said.

A lot of people say they’d like to find work doing what they love, and at Hampton Beach Parasail, every day is truly an adventure.

“I’ve been with the company since we opened in 2003 and both the owner, Michael Tarantino, and our captain, Thomas Brown, have been in the watersport industry, mainly parasail, for decades.

Everywhere from Hawaii to the Caribbean to the Northeast coast. This is just who we are,” Phillips said.

From July 1 through Labor Day, the business is seasonal for apparent reasons. And if you don’t have the guts for the glory, it’s still intriguing to watch from the boat.

“The reactions are priceless,” Phillips said.

“This is what makes our work so special, and that is bringing excitement mixed with fear to make amazing memories that last a lifetime.”

Everything will be peachy at Applecrest Farm (133 Exeter Road, Hampton Falls, N.H., 603-926-3721, applecrest. com) during its Peach Festival on Sunday, Aug. 21, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This is the farm’s 11th festival endof-summer festival and will feature live bluegrass music, tractor-drawn hayrides, corn roasts, a sausage grill, hot cider donuts and various peach-inspired dishes.

“Over the the past decade, the Peach Festival has really grown and evolved into quite an event for us,” said Todd Wagner, one of the owners of Applecrest Farm. “At its core, it’s a celebration of all things peachy. It’s a really great way to end out the summer with great free activities to have a fun day with the family before the apples truly kick in and the fall is here.”

Wagner said the festival is a great way to get people in the community out on the farm and to appreciate something that is pretty rare.

“While there are a number of growers that grow peaches,” he said, “there aren’t many who grow them up in our neck of the woods. It’s sort of a more southern thing. The smell is absolutely to die for.”

Applecrest Farm has seven acres of tree-ripened peaches, nectarines, yellow and white peaches, sun plums and more, and this time of the year is typically the height of harvest. But with a rough winter behind them, Applecrest Farm had to question whether they could have the

Peach Festival this year as a mild February tricked the trees into thinking spring had come early. A Presidents’ Day weekend freeze then devastated the peach crop for Applecrest and much of the eastern region of peach growers.

But, Wagner said, the Applecrest family decided to do whatever it took to have the festival. Todd Wagner and his father, Peter Wagner, traveled down to southern New Jersey, Pennsylvania and part of Virginia to find a peach grower who follows the same principles that Applecrest has when it comes to their peaches.

“We made this long journey and visited about a dozen farms,” he said. “We found

one way down in southern New Jersey and it’s pretty darn close to an Applecrest peach. We had to question whether or not we could have the festival without our own peaches and the answer was yes, the show must go on.”

While there may not be pick-your-own peaches this year, the farm and festival are still offering pick-your-own blueberries and early pick-your-own apples with jersey macs, and they are hoping to have pick-your-own fall-bearing raspberries.

There will also be hordes of peaches all over the farm, and you will still be able to take home great farm-grown peaches along with peach treats such as peach pie, peach turnovers, peach-raspberry pie, peach cakes, peach muffins, peach cider and peach ice cream, all made from scratch.

Along with the peach-themed festivities, the festival will feature live bluegrass music, face painting, tractordrawn hayrides through the orchards, an animal barnyard and the farm’s famous corn roast, which features hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chowder, fennel sausages and of course roasted corn. The farm bistro will be serving its traditional Sunday brunch as well.

“It’s a great way for the community to come out and sort of celebrate the peach and everything about it.” Wagner said.

“It’s a pretty wholesome and fun way to spend a couple of hours in a beautiful setting.”

AT FARR’S FAMOUS CHICKEN On the corner of C Street and Ashworth Avenue sits Farr’s Famous Chicken (43 Ashworth Avenue, Hampton, N.H., 603-926-2030, farrshamptonbeach.com), owned by Judy and Paul Conway. The Scene spoke with Paul Conway about buying the business back into the family, favorite chicken dishes and the diversity of Hampton Beach. Farr’s Famous Chicken is open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. with a full breakfast menu in the morning and then lunch or dinner to follow.

For family fun meet us at the Community Oven!

How long has Farr’s Famous Chicken been open on the Seacoast?

Farr’s Famous Chicken has been on the beach since 1978. It was in my wife’s family for 22 years. Eventually, it had a few different owners and was run as a diner.

My wife and I bought it back into the family and are running it the way that Farr’s originally ran it. Now, we’ve had it for two years so you can say it’s been in the family for 22 years prior.

What do you think makes Farr’s unique?

That we have all fresh food. All our food is fresh and we have reasonable prices and, you know, it’s family-friendly. I would say we have the friendliest staff on the beach. We’re also one of the first restaurants to open on the beach each year and we are the last to close. We’ll be open until Columbus Day, maybe even the Saturday after, but at least until Columbus Day.

What is a dish that you recommend that everyone try?

We’ve got a lot of different and unique dishes here. A lot of people come in and they love the chicken and waffles and we actually serve that all day long. If it’s not chicken that you’d like, we have a great steak and cheese. So if you don’t want chicken, I say go with the steak and cheese.

What is an essential skill when running a restaurant?

You have to remember to always put the customers first.

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

I would probably say Dan Aykroyd. I think he’d be really fun to serve.

What is your favorite part about being located on the Seacoast?

You know, you get to see several different people from different areas all the What is your personal favorite dish?

I recently completed a clean eating challenge through my gym, which meant taking a month off from drinking wine. The month is over and I have been able to add some things back into my life — including wine!

However, I have been having some issues with sugar, which got me thinking: How much sugar is in wine? What kinds of wine have less sugar than others? Because the sugar in wine isn’t “processed” as it is in juice or candy, I have been able to drink it, in moderation, without any issues. But going forward, I wanted to know which wines to choose over others (red versus white and which varietals) for my own knowledge.

I first consulted the website IQuitSugar. Photo by Stefanie Phillips. com, which included some tips about which NH wineries earn medals alcohols can be consumed (in moderation) Congratulations to the New Hampshire on a “no sugar” diet (as in a no-processedwineries that competed in the 2016 Eastern sugar diet). The recommended alcohols were States Expo Northeast Gold Wine Combeer, which contains maltose, not fructose, petition recently. Here is a summary of the so it is easier to metabolize; spirits, like gin, awards given. vodka and whiskey; and wine, which contains small amounts of fructose.

The fructose in wine Brilliant Cranberry - gold is what ferments into alcohol. Dry wines and red wines have the lowest amounts of sugar.

Haunting Whisper Vineyards According to a Washington Post article Sunapple Red - gold from April 2014 that looked at lower-sugar Cabernet Franc - bronze wines, the best white choices are sauvignon blanc, Italian pinot grigio, viognier and charJewell Towne Vineyards donnay; drier wines will have less sugar. For Marechal Foch - Best Grown NH Wine; reds, the best choices are cabernet sauvigold Riesling - gold gnon, cabernet franc, pinot noir and syrah. If Aurore - silver you like sparkling wine, go for a drier style Cayuga - silver like a brut versus a spumante. Obviously, if Landot Noir - bronze a wine tastes sweet, there is more sugar in it.

LaBelle Winery Also keep in mind that the recommendSparkling Cranberry - Best NH Wine; gold ed amount of wine is about five ounces.

Dry Pear - gold So if you really like sweet wine, just enjoy Seyval Blanc Reserve - gold a small amount rather than a large glass.

A home for inspiration Murder mysteries set in Hampton Beach

By Ashlyn Daniel-Nuboer news@seacoastscene.net

Danger, murder and mystery — Dan Marlowe is back again to solve yet another mystery lurking in Hampton Beach in Jed Power’s fifth novel of the Dan Marlowe series, Murder on the Island.

In the story, Marlowe is tasked with investigating a local murder and soon discovers the body is just a few footsteps from his door. Combating his own inner demons while trying to find the truth of the murdered woman and prove his own innocence, Marlowe must confront dark characters, some lying within the corners he once visited regularly to purchase drugs.

Dan Marlowe’s character may be conflicted and mysterious on his own account, but he’s not entirely fictional, Power said.

Years later, after Nussbaum was released from prison, Marlowe developed a serious case of amnesia, its source unknown. Marlowe had complained of headaches and developed symptoms similar to a stroke, though the cause was never diagnosed. Nussbaum moved in with Marlowe to offer his care during his friend’s recovery. Marlowe was never able to write as well as he had prior to the episode, Power said; the books he published at this time were largely children’s books or books for early readers.

“It’s sad,” Power said. “His potential never really flowered all the way. He was a really interesting guy.”

Having lived in his current Hampton Beach cottage for over 35 years, staying there months at a time and vacationing in the beach town ever since he was a boy, Power is no stranger to Hampton and all it has to offer. Between the many vacationers coming and going, the sometimes wild and unpredictable characters that hang around at the local bars, and the beautiful oceanview aesthetic, inspiration is just footsteps from Power’s frontdoor.

“I love people-watching at the beach,” Power said. “I get lots of ideas from that all the time.”

The setting of Murder on the Island is right outside of Power’s cottage. The cover art of the book paints the view from the porch of Power’s cottage, the body to be found just feet away in the dunes parallel to the water.

“The Island is this area right here,” Power said gesturing to his cottage. “It’s bounded by the state park, the ocean, Ocean Boulevard and the state parking lot. They call this little area, about six to seven streets, The Island, and that’s … where this idea came from because I’m right here in the middle of The Island.”

Power is already working on the sixth book of the Dan Marlowe series, which he plans to publish by Labor Day 2017.

Passion presentations PechaKucha Night presents Volume 26

By Kelly Sennott

news@seacoastscene.net

Mike Teixeira started PechaKucha Night Portsmouth about six years ago after reading about the presentation format in Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery by Garr Reynolds.

The style is framed with about 20 images, shown for 20 seconds each. Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham Architecture devised the format in 2003 in Tokyo because architects talk too much, according to pechakucha.org. (“Give a microphone and some images to an architect — or the most creative people for that matter — and they’ll go on forever!” it reads under the website’s FAQ section.)

Teixeira saw it as a more accessible TED Talk. He noticed other cities worldwide had picked it up, and not just for architectural or professional means — creatives were using the PechaKucha style to share their latest projects in music, art, design and film.

So he decided to bring PechaKucha to Portsmouth. He emceed the first at the Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel in 2009.

“They took a chance on this really wacky event, and it made me realize PechaKucha was not meant for the kind of meeting or PechaKucha Night Portsmouth Vol. 26 Where: 3S Artspace, 319 Vaughan St., Portsmouth When: Thursday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m. (presentations start at 7:30 p.m.)

Admission: Free, reservations recommended, space limited Contact: 766-3330, 3Sarts.org, pechakucha.org

The next PechaKucha Night Portsmouth is Aug. 18. Courtesy photo.

conference room setting,” he said via phone last week. “Right after that, I started moving into more bars and club-type atmospheres, and that’s really where it excelled.”

The next PechaKucha Night Portsmouth meetings happened in restaurants like Portsmouth Gas Light, Flatbread and Street Food 360 but found its permanent home at 3S Artspace when it opened in 2015. The next — PechaKucha Night Portsmouth, Volume 26 — happens there Thursday, Aug. 18.

When Teixeira first started the series, he’d just begun working at Calypso (where he still works) doing corporate design and communication. He said he’d been subjected to many awful PowerPoint presentations, crammed with bullets and slides and speakers who essentially turned their backs to the audience and read from the screen.

He thought, at the very least, PechaKucha offered an opportunity to meet new creative people and show another way to present, forcing people to get to their points fast.

“I had always worked in collaborative arts — theater, filmmaking — and when I started thinking about it, I said, this is where it’s going to be exciting — when artists of all disciplines and collaborations share with each other,” he said. “Coming from the corporate side of things, I thought this would be an amazing place for people to discover how to present.”

According to pechakucha.org, regular PechaKucha Nights happen in more than 900 cities worldwide. Some focus on specific topics, and in the beginning, Teixeira tried that, hosting themed meetings on taking chances, being home for the holidays and getting great gifts. One series sur-

rounded the elements — earth, wind, water and fire — and another featured energy professionals.

“It was awesome,” Teixeira said. “They spoke from the heart, and they spoke about the love of it, and what they want to do, and you were transported by their passion. …

That’s what I really love at the end of the day, and that’s why I keep coming back.”

Today, the focus at PechaKucha Night Portsmouth is open-ended. It asks, “What are you passionate about?” About seven or eight speakers are featured at each quarterly event.

People have presented about everything.

One talked about raising tree frogs in his basement. Another talked about his hiking excursions with his dog, and another showcased a woman who loves crafting bowties.

“The hidden secret of PechaKucha is that it’s not about the slides. It’s about the passion,” Teixeira said. “The biggest challenge is finding new speakers to come.”

Cora Paradiso, a photographer who’s designed the 2016 PechaKucha Night Portsmouth posters, said she likes the format because it’s interesting to watch people of all walks of life — ages 20 to 80 — talk about the things they love.

“I think that’s what’s awesome about it, and what draws people,” she said via phone. “You have 20 seconds for 20 slides.

You need to be confident. You need to pick something poignant and interesting in order to impact people in a quick way.”

And when you go in, you never know what you’ll see or who you’ll get to meet.

“Normally, every night I go, there’s at least one speaker whose brain I want to pick after. I’ve met some really amazing people,” she said. “And as an audience member, you learn about seven different subjects you may have never otherwise heard of.”

Notes from Old Lyme: Life on the Marsh and Other Essays, by Sydney M. Williams (Bauhan Publishing, 183 pages)

45 Alden Avenue - Greenland, NH

The modern-day consumption of nature comes with the Thoreauvian impulse to capture the wild and confine it to paper. Wall Street stockbroker Sydney M. Williams, a Peterborough native, succumbs to this urge in Notes from Old Lyme, a collection of essays about his comfortable retirement in a sweeping old home at the mouth of the Connecticut River, with occasional departures of homage to New Hampshire.

It’s an eclectic assortment, unfortunately ordered and uneven in eloquence, that occasionally totters around the fringed edge of the vanity press. That said, to quote Longfellow, when it is good, it is very, very good. While occasionally torpid, it’s never horrid. And now and then, there is the unexpected gift of a memorable phrase.

To begin, Williams explains how, for the past 15 years, “a variety of essays have appeared like magic on my computer at home.”

“For lack of imagination” he names them “Notes from Old Lyme,” the Connecticut town where he and his wife, Caroline, lived for 25 years, doing the sorts of things that Wall Street stockbrokers and their beautiful wives do. This would include golfing (“An Afternoon on the Golf Course,” July 24, 2003), rowing (“An Early Morning Row,” Sept.

28, 2003), and skiing in Vail (“Skiing in Vail,” Dec. 24, 2003) with the occasional trips to Vienna. He also has a “relatively small” library of about 4,000 books — but not to worry, they are not all in the house; some are in his New York apartment.

At this point, the collection begins to alarmingly resemble the pre-island reflections of Thurston Howell III, but mercifully there is no “Late Afternoon Polo” or “An Evening of Bon Yachts” and Williams eventually settles into everyman reflections on Connecticut, Mount Washington, laughter, a good marriage and electronic books, from the vantage of his marsh-side home.

The marsh, he says, is reminiscent of New York’s Lower East Side a century ago: “immigrants speaking multiple languages, practicing their own special religions, exhibiting their own customs, and wearing the clothes of their native lands.”

“Nature, defined as the material world existing without man, is neither tran-

quil nor peaceful. The sounds from the marsh, especially in the evening and early morning, can be discordant — eerie and beautiful at the same time, like an orchestra warming up. One life depends upon taking another.”

Lovely enough, as is Williams’ meditation on Hurricane Irene — “Storms such as Irene cannot be harnessed; we cannot alter their direction; a single storm possesses more energy than man has been able to muster since he exited the cave” — and an interesting reflection on why there were no drowned frogs in his swimming pool in May 2015.

“Thirty-One Hours on Mount Washington” is an excellent telling of two similar hikes taken 34 years apart, father and son: “Indians native to the state knew Mount Washington as Agiocochook, home of the Great Spirit. As we pull out of the parking lot, taking a last look toward its cloudcovered peak, the name seems fitting. We view the mountain with respect. It draws hikers as a magnet does metal shavings.

We, too, will climb it again.”

Points subtracted, however, for writing, in all seriousness, the clichéd line “Freedom is not free” (twice), for calling Thomas Jefferson exacerbated when he was exasperated, and for beginning a chapter on the Fourth of July with a stanza of “God Bless the USA.” Beyond a surfeit of clichés, the book’s greatest failing is in its organization, which wanted chronology but was afflicted with generalized groupings: “The Great Outdoors,” “The World At Large,” “Books and Other Interests” and “Family and Friends.”

This construct has us skiing in Vail before 9/11, even though the trip took place two years after the Towers fell.

Elsewhere, consecutive essays jump from 2007 to 2009 to 2006, for no apparent good reason, and the effect is like picking up someone’s journal and randomly flipping from front to back to middle, with no sense of continuity or arc of personal growth. The reader is perpetually displaced.

For a numbers guy, Williams knows his way around a dictionary better than most, and he has the heart of Thoreau, if not his Spartan ways. This book wanted to be better than it is; it beseeches as much from its best passages, but its aspirations ultimately lack wings. As they say in parts of Maine, magic always comes with a price.

Old song new Changed lineup energizes Indiana band

By Michael Witthaus

news@seacoastscene.net

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Hookfest, and the full day of music will be raucous and rootsy.

Three regional acts perform in advance of headliner Houndmouth. Soulful strutters Gretchen & the Pickpockets play the first set, followed by singer-songwriter Jon King and Maine-based holler-folk rockers Ghost of Paul Revere.

The band closing out the night is at the tail end of a tumultuous year. On St. Patrick’s Day 2015, Houndmouth released Little Neon Limelight, their second album. Produced by Dave Cobb, fresh from Grammy-winning work with Jason Isbell and Chris Stapleton, it was a critical smash. Huffington Post called them “the Best Little Indy Rock Band in Americana,” and they toured steadily.

In early April, it all changed when founding member Katie Toupin quit to pursue other projects. Toupin was a big part of the band’s sound, but frontman, songwriter and guitarist Matt Myers saw her departure as an artistic shot in the arm.

In short order, Myers and bandmates Zak Appleby (bass) and Shane Cody (drums) found three keyboard players to rotate between shows and recruited two horn players that Myers sang “Moonage Hookfest Featuring Houndmouth, Ghost of Paul Revere, Jon King, Gretchen & the Pickpockets When: Saturday, Aug. 20, at 3 p.m.

Daydream” with at a David Bowie tribute concert in their hometown of Louisville.

A potential existential crisis instead brought new love for an old record.

“We’ve been touring this record for so long and we kind of got thrown into making it different and it kind of rejuvenated our passion for the same songs,” Myers said in a recent phone interview. “It gave us another boost of energy and allowed us to experiment and make it different every night.”

That’s not to say the sudden shift from quartet to trio didn’t produce a nervous moment.

“The first thing we realized was that

we were going to have some problems covering her powerful high harmony, but we got really good key players, and that was something we always wanted,” Myers said. “Katie was by trade a singer over a keyboard player; now it’s a lot more technically sound, I think.”

Recording the second album in Nashville was a memorable experience, in many ways because expectations were set aside at the outset. When Houndmouth approached Cobb, his first response was, “I don’t want to make another f-ing Americana record.” This suited Myers just fine.

“We always wanted to get out of the

country folk-ish kind of category even though we write folk songs, and I thought it was really funny to do with Dave because he’s like the best country producer alive right now,” Myers said. “How fun it was to make a record in that whole world but not of that world.”

One of the best songs on Little Neon Limelight, however, is a tender ballad with a country heart. Myers wrote “For No One” shortly after meeting his fiancee. A reporter for Vice made her the subject of a story about experiencing the Kentucky Derby under the influence of LSD. “She gave her a hit of acid, took her to the derby, then documented the whole thing. ... That was pretty awesome.

There’s no way I could ever do that. Like, I’ve taken acid but I could never do it in a public environment like that. She is just that kind of a person, her foundation very strong. For people to do that pretty intense thing I feel like you must have a lot of focus and still be very free at the same time. I just wanted to write a song about how much I appreciated her. ... It was kind of a testament of how strong my fiancee is.”

Plans have begun to bring the new edition of Houndmouth into the studio.

“We’re going to do ... festival dates [and] one offs, then start recording toward the end of the year,” Myers said.

“We’re writing bits and pieces when we have time at home. There’s no producer or anything lined up right now, so it’s all very fun and undecided.”

For the band, it’s just another example of steering with the skid.

“It’s kind of like how we look at every situation,” Myers said. “It’s always an opportunity. Crisis is definitely good.”

BEACH BUM FUN HOROSCOPES be direct about your shortcomings.

After all, everyone knows all about them anyway.

By Holly, The Seacoast Area's Leading Astrologer

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have a song in your heart, but a bad piece of fish in your abdomen.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today you will learn something new, which isn’t surprising, considering the breadth of your ignorance.

Aries (March 21-April 19): You are the exception to the rule. Unfortunately, the rule is that everyone has dignity.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Don’t be afraid to take chances. And don’t be afraid to put them back, either.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): What you lack is courage — well, that as well as personality, brains, and money.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Those vague premonitions of doom you had last week will prove to be well-founded.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): This week,

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will soon feel the stirrings of passion.

Unfortunately, it will be for Hostess cupcakes.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): See last week’s horoscope, and just try doing the opposite this time.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Love is in the air! But so are steam plumes from the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant.

Beer, Wine, Lottery Tickets & Tobacco

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will finally join an Alzheimer’s Support Group, but then … oh, I forget.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): This week you will be mistaken for a celebrity! Unfortunately, it will be Rush Limbaugh.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

The passing parade

(1) The Belton (Texas) Early Childhood (pre-kindergarten) School staged an “Enchanted Evening” prom in May and posted many photos on its Facebook page of little toddlers arrayed in tuxedos, gowns, corsages and of course, for some, limousines. (A Kansas City Star reporter suggested that this was just the beginning of an expensive parental trend.) (2) The village of Trecon was inducted recently into the club of French towns with silly names. “Tres con,” translated, is “very stupid.” Mayor Georges Leherle accepted the town’s membership, joining 38 incumbent members including “Mariol” (“Dumbass”).

Least competent criminals

Classic middle name

Arrested Recently and Charged With Murder: Cody Wayne Fish (Norman, Okla., August); Curtis Wayne Trexler (Salisbury, N.C., July); Daryl Royston Wayne Cook (Hobart, Australia, July); James Wayne Rodgers Jr. (Dallas, May); Bruce Wayne Cameron (St. Louis County, Minn., June 2015). Fugitive Murder Arrest Warrant Issued: Vernon Wayne King (Harrisburg, Pa., August). Pleaded Guilty to Murder: Stacy Wayne Brown (Wilmington, N.C., July). Sentenced for Murder: Christopher Wayne Hill (Harlan County, Ky., June) (a different Christopher Wayne Hill than reported years ago in “News of the Weird”). Killed Himself Resisting Arrest for Murder: David Wayne Campbell (Mason County, Wash., February). Granted New Sentencing Hearing: convicted murderer Michael Wayne Norris (Houston, June). Committed Suicide in Prison: convicted murderer Flint Wayne Harrison (Farmington, Utah, July). Executed for Murder: John Wayne Conner (Jackson, Ga., July).

Didn’t Quite Think It Through: The men who tried an armed carjacking at the Oasis car wash in Shreveport, Louisiana, on July 20 were sent running by the car owner Michael Davis, who was holding a high-pressure hose at the time and casually directed the stream to one potential thief’s face while swinging the News of the Weird classic metal wand at the other.

The late fashion designer Alexander McQueen (who dabbled in macabre collections himself), might appreciate the work of acolyte Tina Gorjanc: She will grow McQueen’s skin (from DNA off his hair) in a lab, add back his tattoos, and from that make leather handbags and jackets. Gorjanc, a recent graduate of McQueen’s fashion school alma mater, bills the project mainly as showcasing the meager legal protections for abandoned bits of human DNA and fears industrial use of such DNA on a much larger scale.

Compelling explanations

In June, Dieter Uchtdorf, a high official in the Mormon Church, said the historic narrative of Mormon founder Joseph Smith’s use of a “seer stone” to translate the “golden plates” that gave Smith ultimate worldly knowledge has been authenticated, basically, by the 2007 invention of the iPhone. “I can get the collected knowledge of the world through a few little inputs,” said Uchtdorf, and thus it is likelier than ever that God gave Smith something like a smartphone in 1823.

Scientific breakthroughs

• Friendly Bacteria: Plastics are wellknown to decompose slowly, but the most difficult is the polyethylene used for containers such as the omnipresent water bottles, and

despite recycling, tens of millions of metric tons wind up in landfills, where the plastic’s strong polymer bonds resist breakdown.

Recently, however, two Japanese researchers, after tedious trial-and-error, identified a bacterium that views the polyethylene terephthalate as an efficient, tasty meal. A colleague of the two said further tweaking was necessary before using the bacteria industrially.

• Room-Sized Bong? Samuel Oliphant, 35, was arrested on various charges in Scottsdale, Arizona, in June after police were called to a house to investigate a “strong and unusual” odor (which cops suspected to be drugs).

Inside, they found a “laboratory,” necessitating use of their “hazmat protocols,” because Oliphant had allegedly built a “complex and elaborate” system apparently for the purpose of enhancing the smoking of marijuana.

Things That Have Happened Before: (1) An ambulance was called in July when jockey Chris Meehan was kicked in the face by a horse and knocked out cold after he fell during a race in Merano, Italy, but the arriving ambulance accidentally backed over his leg. He is recovering. (2) At England’s premier agricultural event (the Great Yorkshire Show), a winning show cow was stripped of her title, suspected of having artificially “enhanced” udders. The runner-up, of course, was promoted.

Awesome!

Rapper Kasper Knight apparently shot himself in the cheek with a revolver on July 17 in Indianapolis as part of a staged music video according to raw footage of the incident posted on his Facebook page (and then of course seen by almost 2 million people).

Knight, seen bleeding afterward, said he tried to recruit a shooter, but when no one volunteered, shot himself, anticipating (as in previous times he had been shot, by other people) “like a 4 out of 10 on the pain scale.”

(September 2012)

“Pheromone parties” attract men and women seeking romance, based on the primal-scent signals emitted by each other’s slept-in T-shirts. Organizers have staged parties in New York City and L.A. and plan to expand, according to a June (2012) Associated Press report. The initial conclusion: People prefer partners with a somewhatdifferent genetic makeup than their own, but not too different. (Update: Pheromone parties were attracting attention as recently as 2014, but not much since then.)
