Do you want to play with puppies, watch a dog agility demonstration and take part in animal-related games and crafts in one of Portsmouth’s historic homes? You can, as the first ever Pet Adoption Day is taking place at the Rundlet-May House on Saturday, Oct. 8. From 10 a.m. until noon, families and friends are invited to a home whose original owner played a role in the creation of the nonprofit New Hampshire SPCA. Apart from meeting the NHSPCA’s pups, watching the agility demonstration and having a fun scavenger hunt inside the historic house, families can also adopt an animal. “Families will meet the [animals] at the event and the staff member that will be there can go over some of the pre-adoption qualifications,” NHSPCA Special Events and Sponsorship Manager Megan Bickford said. “If a family decides they want to adopt the animal, we will go back to the shelter and go through the finalization process and they’ll have a furry friend to bring home.” Through community events, the organization pursues loving and happy homes for animals. Pet Adoption Day is another way to publicize the organization’s mission as well as the history of Rundlet-May home. “The Rundlet-May House … is a Federal period house and has been lived in from 1807 up until the 20th century,” New Hampshire and Maine Regional Site Manager Linda Marshall said. “It is

full of four generations’ furnishings.” The historical and ornate furnishings are heavily influenced by Portsmouth, as early owners sought Portsmouth crafters to build the decor. The gardens on the property have remained true to the original layout and plantings popular during the Colonial Revival period. James Rundlet May served as a medical officer during the Civil War. He found a black pointer dog alone and abandoned on a plantation in Virginia. Naming her Flora, he brought the dog all the way back to Portsmouth. “There’s a pet cemetery in the garden by the side of the [Rundlet-May] House, where Flora and eight other pets are buried, including a canary named Sunny Boy,” Marshall said. James Rundlet May himself played a role in the creation of the NH SPCA and its success. “James Rundlet May was on the board of directors for 45 years beginning at the start of the [organization], which was first based just in Portsmouth,” Marshall said. “It wasn’t until 1875 that the NHSPCA became statewide.” Today, the NHSPCA thrives on the generous donations of the community. The proceeds from the event will be split in half to benefit the NHSPCA and the organization of Historic New England. Registration is required to attend the event. Tickets for Pet Adoption Day cost $7 per family. To order, call 603-4363205 or go to historicnewengland.org.

Where to go for colorful autumn foliage
People come from far and wide to look at the beautiful fall foliage that surrounds New England, and the Seacoast has some amazing spots, scenic routes and trails to venture to. Pack a lunch and make a day of it, whether you want to drive along a route that borders the ocean, take a walk down a historic trail, or stroll along the beach.
Trees and leaves
Eighty-three percent of the state of New Hampshire is covered in trees, according to the communications manager of the New Hampshire Division of the Travel and Tourism Department, Kris Neilsen. During the spring and summer when we are all admiring the natural beauty of the flourishing trees, the leaves of the trees appear to be green, right? The short answer is, well sort of. Trees need warm temperatures and sunlight to thrive. Their leaves are made of chlorophyll, which produces sugar from the chlorophyll's absorption of light, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water. “The color of leaves is a function of chlorophyll concentrations, as well as concentrations of other compounds such as anthocyanins and carotenes, each of which absorbs a different part of the color spectrum and each of which responds differently to outside conditions,” Affiliate Research Professor Matthew Huber from the University of New Hampshire said. “The chlorophyll normally makes leaves look green, but when cool temperatures cause [the chlorophyll to] degrade, it leaves behind the yellow — carotenes — and reds — anthocyanins.” The vibrant colors that are usually concealed by the green chlorophyll are revealed as the chlorophyll disappears due
to the cooler temperatures of fall. For this, we can thank the cold and maybe even see the drought as producing something beautiful (apart from burnt, crunchy lawns). According to an article on Seacoastonline. com, Sue Pike, a researcher and environmental sciences and biology teacher at St. Thomas Aquinas High School, says that our current dry conditions make up the formula for a great foliage season. Dry summers that evolve into sunny, warm fall days and cool fall nights create the perfect recipe for a brilliant season of foliage — so get your cameras ready. The peak times to see top-notch fall foliage differ. Trees in the north begin changing colors first, and then the change slowly makes its way to the south. While the best time to see foliage in the White Mountains of New Hampshire is between late September and early October, the best time for foliage viewing in the Seacoast area is in October. By November, foliage throughout the Seacoast is generally past its peak. “When the colors change in the [Seacoast] area, it is an incredibly spectacular show,” Neilsen said.
Take a drive
If you want to head out in your car for the day, try one of the routes recommended by the State of New Hampshire. The Colonial New Hampshire Seacoast Ride is about 40 miles long. Beginning in beautiful and historic Portsmouth, N.H., take Route 1B, which will lead through the historic district of Portsmouth and across the causeway to New Castle, N.H. Bending and winding through New Castle, the route will lead past the Marriott Wentworth by the Sea along with the historic forts of Fort Stark and Fort Constitution, which played a role as one of the first areas marking an “aggressive act” of the American Revolu-

tion. Route 1B will connect with Route 1A; go south to continue through Rye, North Hampton and Hampton. Look out for Odiorne Point State Park in Rye, popular for its scenic expressions, and Hampton Beach State Park, known for its large beach area and playground. Once in Hampton, take Route 101 to Route 1, which will lead through Hampton Falls and onto one of New Hampshire’s oldest roads, Route 84, winding through Kensington. Hop onto Route 150, which will go through the historic town of Exeter. Finally, take Route 27 back to Hampton to finish off the scenic ride. The American Independence Byway offers its own taste of fall mixed within the routes rich in history. The Byway begins in Exeter, N.H., and continues through Kensington and then through Hampton Falls, running through Hampton and North Hampton all the way back to Exeter. Along with dazzling displays of reds, yellows, oranges and browns dusting the tall trees and towering over the American Independence Byway, examples of 18th-century high style of Georgian and Federal architecture adorn the scenic byway. Begin your journey at Exeter’s bandstand, which is at the intersection of Water Street and Front Street. The bandstand was gifted to the town by Ambrose Swasey back in 1916, according to exeternh.gov. The white wood contrasts with the greened copper roof, lending itself to feelings of the Exeter Brass Band’s harmonic tunes filling the air since the mid 1800s. Visitors can stop at the American Independence Museum to learn historical facts, such as that Exeter acted as New Hampshire’s state capital during the War of Independence. Along Route 150, wide fields and homes line one side of the road, while tree land lines the other. Originating in 1739, Route 150 leads the tour through Kensington, which still reveals signs of “patterns of the 18th century agricultural subdivision” with Georgian and Federal farm buildings along the way. Taking a left on Route 84, formerly known as Old Mill Road, head east as the tour leads through Hampton Falls and turns left onto Route 1.

tory as you drive on the road that was once used as a stagecoach route from Boston to Portsmouth. Finishing the American Independence Byway route, Route 1 will pass through the salt marshes. Roll the window down to breathe in that salty air. Shorter New Hampshire routes, such as Route 155 to Route 108, may be short and sweet but no less picturesque. One begins in Lee, N.H., once a part of the Colony of Dover. Heading down Route 155 on Turtle Pond Road, trees line the road as it stretches to Garity Road, where you will take a right turn. Continuing down the road parallel to the thick trees, take a left onto Mast Road, getting onto Route 155A. Take a right onto Packers Falls Road and continue down the long, winding road eventually passing over the Lamprey River. After staying on Packers Falls Road for about 5 miles, turn right onto South Main Street and then take another right onto Gerry Ave., which will complete the route to Exeter Road on Route 108 into Newmarket, N.H., where old mill buildings and small shops reside. “It’s great to get onto the less traveled roads in the fall.” Neilsen said. “In years past, there have been bright reds, crimsons [and] oranges and it’s the variety of trees that help to bring out the varied color along the landscape.”

About: Salisbury Beach State Reservation offers a complex barrier beach system flourishing with natural wildlife and oceanfront or river viewing. There are also guided tours offered to learn about the history of the land.
Maudslay State Park has 19th-century gardens and plantings, meadows, one of the largest natural stands of mountain laurel in the state, and, for foliage purposes, walking trails. “In the fall around the last of September into the middle of October, a great variety of deciduous trees color the landscape with their beauty,” Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Regional Interpretive Coordinator of the North Region Barbara Buls said. Among the many other recreational opportunities like horseback riding and mountain biking, Maudslay offers two selfguided walking trails perfect for friends, family and foliage. All ages can take part in the walking trails that loop along a gravel path leading through both naturally scenic and historic areas and over three arch bridges. If you are feeling up to it, there is also a second, more strenuous 1.5-mile walk along the Swamp Trail. This particular recommended trail leads through the swampy areas lining the Merrimack River, bursting with vegetation, wildlife and color. On top of the amazing foliage, be sure to keep your eyes out for great blue herons and snowy egrets. There may even be a majestic bald eagle or two perched high atop the trees. “When you think of a park, Maudsley is the quintessential park,” Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Director of Massachusetts Parks Priscilla Geigis said. “We have beautiful trails [where] visitors can see an old stone bridge. [We also have] wonderful trees and trails right along the water. It’s just stunning.” Maudslay State Park’s daily parking fees are only $5 per vehicle for cars registered in Massachusetts or $6 for non-Massachusetts vehicles.

ly Walking Tour is a fun and interesting way for the family to get outside to see the lovely colors of fall, while exploring the city drenched in 400 years of history. The guided tour covers downtown Portsmouth and lasts about an hour. Common stops along the tour include the Rockingham House, Sheafe Street and the Portsmouth African American Burying Ground. The Daily Walking Tour will reveal tales of historic homes and people, intricate architecture and a time that does not feel so far in the past while touring the historic city. Adult tickets cost $12, or $10 for members, military and students (with a valid student ID), and can be purchased online at portsmouthhistory.org. Portsmouth’s Urban Forestry Center offers two trails that put the whole family in the heart of nature. Located at 45 Elwyn Road in Portsmouth, the Urban Forestry Center sits on the outskirts of the busy and bustling city. The 182 acres of land are operated and managed by the Division of Forests and Lands of the Department of Resources and Economic Development. Currently, the Center is used as a tree farm, bird and wildlife sanctuary, garden and landscape demonstration site among many other uses. The Urban Forestry Center houses three self-guided trails used for walking, biking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. If you want close look at the rich colors of fall foliage, these trails are for
you. The Tree Identification Trail walks visitors through the land’s “Mixed Deciduous Forest, Northern Hardwood Forest, Saltmarsh Wetland, Red Pine Plantation, and Blue Spruce Plantation.” The fall color shades mix together as different trees produce their brightest of reds, oranges

lots of birds. The trail winds down to a tidal salt marsh on Sagamore Creek where the fresh water of the creek meets the salt water of the ocean. Be sure to bring your walking shoes. If a walking tour is not adventurous enough, Newmarket, N.H., has a tour that will offer breathtaking scenery and get your feet, for real.

Where do you see the museum in 10 years? I hope the museum is a destination like many museums in Portsmouth have become through the years. I hope the decisions we are making today will pay dividends not just for us but for the greater Exeter community. It is an exciting time to be in the community right now.

What is your favorite part about your job? I love history and believe the telling of Exeter’s role in the formation of our nation is important for people, especially young people, to understand. I love the fact I am part of this narrative thread in Exeter and helping to preserve aspects of our history that help define who we were, are and will be in the future. Another thing that I love are all the people I work with. We have a small staff here that is extremely dedicated and an incredible core group of volunteers who freely invest their time in us. Without amazing people behind the scenes, this place could not stay open.

very complex task to care for items that in some cases are nearly 300 years old. You can’t just wipe them off with a cloth and hang them on a wall. These are delicate items — priceless really. As we continue to grow as an organization, it is imperative we implement what the industry refers to as a preservation plan. This kind of plan will not just position us for growth as an agency, but will allow us to better care for our artifacts, which is critical.

What is your greatest business strength? We have a beautiful one-acre campus in the center of downtown Exeter, which we feel is a huge strength for our organization. Our location is perfect for anyone coming into town, and Exeter itself is growing and beginning to attract visitors that maybe have not been here before. Our greatest strength is our location in a town that is definitely up and coming.

What is your biggest business challenge? Awareness, for one. Not as many people know about us as I think should, so we are always looking at ways to spread the word about what we do and who we are. I think the second challenge might be helping people realize that we are more than a place that stores artifacts. We host all kinds of events here and we educate more than 1,600 kids from schools across New Hampshire every year. We recently launched a Traveling Trunk program that will bring the museum experience into the classroom. We are an active member of this community, and I think there are some people that do not know about this aspect of our museum.

What are some of the things in your collection? We have thousands of items that date from as early as the mid 1700s with the most noteworthy an actual original copy of the Declaration of Independence. It was found in the attic of the Ladd-Gilman house in the late ’80s and served as the main reason for the Museum’s founding. Other items include working drafts of the Constitution, handwritten letters by George Washington as well as one of two purple hearts from the Revolutionary War, which all sit with 18th-century currency, weapons, books and other artifacts. This is a pretty incredible place.

CAR TALK
Old, stinky engine needs to be brought up to date Dear Car Talk: I live in California, and my husband has a ‘46 Ford. It has a terrible exhaust smell that permeates the area, and every time he starts the truck, I feel like it’s By Ray Magliozzi harmful to our health. It comes through the windows in the house, and our clothes smell like it. Is this dangerous to our health? — Lola Of course it is. What that truck is sending out its tailpipe in the first five minutes probably is equivalent to about 100,000 Toyota Priuses. What you’re smelling probably is burning oil, unburned hydrocarbons and perhaps some vaporized free-range dinosaur cartilage mixed in there. It’s more commonly known as “air pollution.” I would guess that the truck has one of two problems — or, more likely, both of them. The first problem is that it’s probably burning oil at a faster rate than the Saudis can pump it. That creates a bluishgray smoke with a very acrid odor. The other problem is that the carburetor could be pouring way too much gasoline into the cylinders, causing the engine to
run rich and send unburned gasoline out the tailpipe. That usually creates black-colored smoke and a gasoline odor. Now, we don’t want to be punitive here and take away the pleasure your husband gets from his ‘46 Ford, Lola. Besides, if we did, he might take up a hobby that wafts something even less pleasant in through your windows — like the sound of him learning to play the trumpet. But he really should figure out what’s wrong with the truck — with the help of a mechanic if need be — and then fix it. Even fixed, the tailpipe emissions will be much worse than those from a modern-day car, but it shouldn’t smoke you out of the house. If it’s burning oil, he probably can fix that with a ring job. In fact, the truck may have already needed a ring job when he plucked it off the set of “Green Acres.” And if the carburetor is flooding, he can have it rebuilt: He can simply remove it from the manifold and ship it out to a rebuilder. Then you can surreptitiously change the return address so he never gets it back! But if you guys are lucky, and he rebuilds the engine and the carburetor, you could cut down the tailpipe emissions to something in the range of 25,000 Priuses. And
you might be able to live with that. The fixes, especially the ring job, will be expensive. But you might point out that the cost of losing half of his assets (including half of the truck) to you in a divorce settlement will be much greater than that. Dear Car Talk: I have a 2007 Scion TC with 87,563 miles on it. Recently, it has started to shake while idling at a stoplight — or anytime I stop the car and leave it in drive. One person advised me to switch out the old spark plugs. I switched them out, but I still have the same problem. Any advice? — Ann Don’t switch out the spark plugs, Ann. That was actually a reasonable guess, if not a very scientific one. The person who advised you to change the plugs assumed you had an engine misfire, and guessed that the spark plugs might be the cause. Apparently, they’re not. If you came into the shop, I’d try to approach it more logically. Yes, that’s an enormous challenge for me, but I’d try. If your check engine light was on and was indicating a misfire, I’d start by making sure all four of your cylinders were firing correctly. I’d do that by disabling one spark plug at a time.
When you disable a spark plug, you force the engine to run on three cylinders. So if the engine is running properly, each time you knock out a plug, the engine should run much worse — badly enough that it’s immediately obvious. But if you disable a spark plug and nothing changes, then you know that cylinder wasn’t contributing in the first place. Then you just have to figure out why. It could be a bad coil, a faulty fuel injector, a vacuum leak or something worse. If the check engine light isn’t illuminated, and all four cylinders are running well, then I’d suspect a weak or broken motor mount. Motor mounts are the heavy rubber-andsteel contraptions that attach the engine to the frame of the car. Their job is to both hold the engine in place and isolate the engine’s vibrations from the rest of the car. So if one of your engine mounts is broken or badly worn out, you’ll feel the normal vibrations of the engine much more strongly. And you’ll notice it most at idle, when you don’t have all the other wonderful road noises and vibrations to distract you. So take it to a good mechanic and ask him to diagnose it for you. He’ll figure it out. Visit Cartalk.com.

Coffee or tea?
What goes into your cup By Jocelyn Humelsine news@seacoastscene.net
Coffee and tea are ancient staples and in modern times almost a necessity, not just for the possible caffeine uptake but for their hot or cold comfort in social settings. Their acquisition, roasting, blending and brewing are all art forms in and of themselves. There’s dark roast, medium roast and light roast; high acidity and low acidity; caffeinated and decaf. Country of origin — Central and South America, Europe, Africa — comes into play in terms of soil, cultivation and export. The process is much like that of a painter, mixing and matching and hoping the eventual buyer will appreciate not only the work as a whole but the time and care taken in creating it. At both Breaking Bean Coffee Co. in Hampton and White Heron Tea in Photos courtesy of White Heron Tea. Portsmouth, their brews are their masterpieces, and they’re happy to guide you to your favorite flavor palette. on what Conlin serves at Breaking Bean. “I love Italian coffee. My grandmother used to make it for me with ice cream Breaking Bean Coffee Heide Conlin opened Breaking Bean — it’s called affogato, with beans and Coffee in Hampton about a year ago, five espresso,” she said. In addition to serving Lavazza’s Italian years after moving to Hampton and seeing a need for a cozy place to get quality coffee coffee, Conlin works with wholesale roaster Speedwell of Plymouth, Mass. in a café setting. “The whole beans — sourcing every“I wanted to open a place we thought people would love,” Conlin said. “I aimed thing fair trade — smell ridiculously good for someplace cool and eclectic, and people when we grind it all in our store,” Conlin said. literally come here for hours.” Breaking Bean’s signature is their cold Having worked as a correctional officer at the New Hampshire State Prison, Conlin brew, with beans from Guatemala and also wanted to invest her time and money in Ethiopia. “Probably because the acidity is very litsomething she knew she would enjoy. “Coffee was always a staple in my fami- tle, the Guatemalan has really nice almost ly,” she said. “My grandparents came from chocolatey notes, and the Ethiopian has a sweetness to it,” Conlin said. “In the cold Italy, so we drank a lot of coffee.” That family influence has had an impact brew, it’s a great balance.

figuration as we make it in small batches in a Kegerator, steeped in ice water for 15 hours. It almost even tastes like a beer — deep, rich and yummy. I have a bartender who comes in for it. She says, ‘If I close my eyes I think I’m having a beer,’ with the foam and nitro inside of it.” Taking the time to create something special is important to Conlin. “If you’re going to do it, do it right. With cold brew ... you need to fine grind it, which makes the difference,” she said. “I welcome anyone to make cold brew, but do it right and don’t pass it off as something it’s not. I love making it. I put a lot of love into it and it makes you feel good.” Conlin also loves smashing pumpkins — for business purposes, of course. “Every [restaurant] has that one thing, and mine is our homemade chai with pumpkin. I actually smash the pumpkin myself, so it’s very fresh also in a pumpkin latte,” Conlin said. To pair your beverages, Conlin said she has “better for you” pastries and a “not good for you” variety. She suggested the pumpkin spice latte with cider donuts, and the cold brew with the bacon or sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. Conlin said the past year has been quite the ride, and while they’re serving customers with ease these days, getting up and running wasn’t quite as smooth as their cold brew coffee. “I didn’t expect how much money it takes to open [a business],” Conlin said. “Cash flow is key, and all along I just kept believing and kept creating the place I imagined. There’s a lot more behind the scenes than I knew had to happen, how much product
you put out. I’m at the grocery store every single day. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.” While she didn’t expect some of the difficulties, Conlin said, she also didn’t anticipate welcoming so many new people into her life. “I didn’t expect how intensely I’d care about the people coming through my door — they’ve become like family. I am truly concerned about their well-being. There’s a huge sense of community here and that’s exactly what I wanted to put out,” Conlin said. “There are so many rewards to this job, it suits my personality. I love people coming in and being able to start friendships. It’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done, to know people by name and treat them with respect and a smile.” In addition to her customers, Conlin said she is also blessed with three top-notch baristas, Kathryn Stevens, Rio Tilton and Maggie Leigh. “The biggest thing I wanted when I opened was to be the best boss I could possibly be. And it does work. I have the most amazing baristas, and people constantly say how wonderful they are. They take their job seriously, are never late, treat everyone fantastic. ... These are the friendships we’ll keep forever,” Conlin said.
White Heron Tea
Over in Portsmouth, White Heron owner Jonathan Blakeslee focuses on providing organic goods. “When I learned that most teas and coffees are sprayed with chemicals and pesticides, it changed the way that I looked at having a nice hot ‘cuppa.’ Especially in the case of tea, if the leaves are sprayed with any pesticides, there’s no process that scrubs each leaf to make sure there are no pesticides left,” Blakeslee said. “Thus, for me, the only option in starting a tea and coffee company was to go organic.” Buying organic tea and coffee means a lot of things, Blakeslee said. Chief among them, “you’re purchasing an agricultural product that is better for your health. Being USDA Organic Certified means there is proof you’re getting a truly organic product.” The bottom line, of course, is that tea and coffee without chemicals usually tastes better, Blakeslee said. “You’re supporting long-term sustainable practices and helping ensure that tea and coffee growers work in a safer, healthier environment,” he said. As the first in the state to be certified organic for tea, Blakeslee said there’s more than meets the eye with the terms “fair

trade” and “sustainable harvest” being used. “Organic and fair trade are often related but not always. ‘Fair trade’ generally means that growers and workers are paid a fair wage and are working in humane conditions, a safe work environment. When starting out, White Heron registered to use the Fair Trade logo, but it ended up meaning having to charge customers more and a lot of extra paperwork. There are also now more organizations and certifications that support the same aim, so the Fair Trade logo isn’t the only guarantee of a fair shake for tea and coffee producers. As a company, White Heron tries to purchase as many ‘fairly traded’ teas and coffees as possible,” Blakeslee said. Coffee beans in pure form are green, and it is the roasting that kick-starts them. In general, the longer you roast, the darker the bean, which, contrary to its dark color, may actually lose some of its subtlety. Used for espresso, dark beans have a pungent, spicy, sometimes smoky flavor. “What affects caffeine content is a touchy subject with a lot of conflicting information out there. I am sure there are particular regions that may produce more highly caffeinated coffee beans than others, but in general the method of extraction and grind size has the largest impact to the best of my knowledge,” said Blakeslee. Roasting on-site four days a week, White Heron is committed to freshness. “Most of our coffees are single origin, our espresso is a blend, and we occasionally have other coffee blends. With tea there is no roasting unless part of processing to dry the tea leaves after harvesting,” Blakeslee added. White Heron offers many teas that are house blends. The selection is impressive. “White Heron has around 80 organic certified teas,” he said. “Tea has an enormous amount of variety and flavors. For beginning tea drinkers, start with what you like. If you like English Breakfast, for example, I would recommend trying our American

Breakfast, Assam, or Ceylon teas. What you like is a good point of departure. Some people have cupboards full with 20 kinds of tea, others have a single favorite and it’s all they drink.” On Saturdays, you can catch live music at White Heron, and Blakeslee hopes to incorporate more coffee and tea events in the future. But for now, the beverages are the key to what keeps customers coming back. “Our Daybreak Chai, Cranberry Apple Ginger, American Breakfast, Earl Grey, Citrus Green and many others are customer favorites. Our coffees change regularly, so it’s hard to point out a particular best seller, but I think that people like the fact that we buy the freshest beans available,” Blakeslee said. For the best of both worlds, try the Tchaikofsky, which is chai in coffee, along with a whoopee pie, or pair your Lucky 7 espresso with a house-made English muffin sandwich or steamed rice bowl.

FOOD
AT THE FARM BAR AND GRILL The Farm Bar and Grill (25 Portland Ave., Dover, N.H., 603-516-3276, farmbarandgrill.com) is a cozy restaurant with a large sitting area that emanates feelings of home. Faint aromas of smoked barbecue fill the dining room. The wide menu offers an array of food options, and the large drink menu offers everything from signature martinis to draft IPAs. General Manager Wojtek Staszkiewicz talked to the Scene about all things barbecue. How long has The Farm Bar and Grill in Dover been open? We’ve been here for six years. What do you think sets the bar and grill apart from other dining options in the area? Well, three things. We try to put out great quality food, and since we have a focus on barbecue items, we smoke here on site. So that’s an option that most other places don’t have. We think that we have a great staff that really takes pride in what we do and tries to make every guest a part of the family that comes in. Thirdly, our location. [The restaurant] is an old barn that has been renovated. We’re right along the river. We have a great deck. The building itself has a lot of character. It’s just a fun place to be. What is an essential skill that keeps The Farm running smoothly? Really, it’s about communication and teamwork. We want to make sure every staff member feels like they have ownership in the company, so that the minute a guest walks in the door, they’re greeted, that our bartenders are fully ready to go and know their products … the servers know the products and the menu. The kitchen staff obviously takes great pride in what they do and really the key is to make sure everyone is working together on our goals to provide

great food at a value to people. And again, I go back to this … we want to make all the guests feel at home here. The great skill is to try and work together as one cohesive unit to make that happen. Where did the name The Farm Bar and Grill come from? We have four stores now. The owners actually have a total of six restaurants, but we have four Farms — in Dover, Kittery, Manchester and the original store, which is in Essex, Massachusetts. The owners are two brothers and a cousin. None of them were involved in the restaurant industry

before. They had an opportunity at a place that was close by to where they all grew up and literally quit their jobs and worked nonstop, the three of them together. If you know the location in Essex, it lends itself to being called The Farm. The thought of it was that people come together to enjoy great food, to enjoy great company, and just have fun doing it. The barbecue aspect plays a great part of that as far as the name. … They wanted to have a place where people they knew could come in and get great food at a great value and just really enjoy themselves. That’s kind of our overall philosophy. [The owners] found that they wanted to provide comfort food and they really found a niche within that. That philosophy rings true today with the owners having six other restaurants. If you could serve any type of celebrity or political figure that is alive or dead, who would it be? On a personal level, I’m a huge Bruce Springsteen fan. I just went down to see him in Foxborough. That would be the ultimate celebrity to serve. He would love the barbecue, and I know he would love a cold beer. Which menu item is your personal favorite? That’s kind of a tough one. My personal favorite is … the barbecue platter because
Can we expect any menu changes with the changing of the season? What we try to do is for the four Farm restaurants we all have the same core menu. It’s going to be updated in about mid-October. A lot of the favorites stay the same, but then each store will have its own seasonal menu. So here in Dover we may have three appetizers and five entrees that are going to be different than what you can find in Kittery. Then Kittery will have three appetizers and five entrees that you won’t be able to find here. It allows us to kind of be one cohesive unit with the menu in what we offer, but at the same time with the seasonal menu each location kind of has its own personality.
What has been the best-selling food menu item from the restaurant? The best-selling menu item would be our pulled pork. We have different nights during the week where we feature different items. On Sunday we have $5.99 pulled pork sandwiches. It’s a lot of food. We do a great job. We smoke the pork on site, so it’s done in house and done pretty much on a daily basis. People really tend to like the pulled pork. Our nachos also have pulled pork on them. Our nachos are probably our No. 1 appetizer. So the pulled pork is really probably the centerpiece of our menu.
How would you describe your crew of employees? We have a great core staff. They like to come in and have fun in what they’re doing, but at the same time they understand that we’re here to provide a service for people — great food in a comfortable atmosphere. ... It makes everybody’s job a lot easier when everybody is excited to come into work and wants to do the best not only for the business, but for themselves. — Ashlyn Daniel-Nuboer

Understanding Madeira wine
Festivals offered intensive education
URGENT ITEMS NEEDED FOR THE TROOPS!!!
By Stefanie Phillips
news@seacoastscene.net
I was recently invited to Madeira by the Madeira Promotion Bureau as part of a press trip to familiarize wine and travel writers with the island and its winemaking during the harvest season. Madeira is a Portuguese island in the North Atlantic Ocean, 350 miles off the coast of Africa and 750 miles southwest of Lisbon. While I was there, the “Festa do Vinho,” or the Madeira Wine Festival, was taking place. A pop-up Wine Village in the capital city of Funchal let guests taste wine and food, meet the winemakers and attend educational seminars. I had the chance to attend a Barbeito Madeira wine master class in the Wine Village. Here, we tasted four different Madeira wines that were 10 years old, 16 years old, 20 years old and 24 years old. To understand how Madeira ages, it is important to understand its unique history and how it is made. Grapes, mainly tinta negra, sercial, verdelho, terrantez, bual and malmsey, are grown on the island on steep terraces. After they are harvested, they go into the winepress, which crushes and presses them. According to the Madeira Wine Guide, this was done with feet and wooden presses until the late 1970s. I had the chance to see an old “lagar,” the equipment used, at the Madeira Wine Co. in Funchal. After pressing, the fermented juice used to be carried by workers, or “boracheiros,” in goatskins with about 15 gallons to the wine cellar, usually downhill. It has been said that this trek made them very thirsty, so often they showed up at the wine cellar drunk and with empty goatskins. We visited Blandy’s Wine Lodge and the Madeira Wine Co., which also holds a wine festival to celebrate the harvest. Here, modern winemaking technology is now used but old traditions are still honored. At the “adega,” or winery, the wines are selected and pressed so the must is separated from the skins. The wine then ferments in stainless steel tanks until it is stopped by the addition of grape brandy. This occurs when the grapes contain the correct amount of natural sugar. Each grape is fortified at a different time depending on its qualities. The next step makes Madeira wine unique. While we are often told to keep wine away from heat, Madeira is heated for some months in lofts where the island sun aids in the process. This process came about because 18th-century ships took casks on their voyages, where the wine passed through the heat of the tropics. While some wines would be ruined, the Madeira wine

became better with heat. According to Blandy’s, “the wines acquired remarkable keeping qualities, extraordinary longevity and an attractive mellowed character.” Madeira is aged in two ways: first, in the warm environment where the wine goes through a form of oxidation; second, it is aged for many years in casks in a cooler environment where the wine continues to develop. Because the wine is essentially oxidized, you can open a bottle of Madeira and drink it for years to come. It will not go bad like other wines. Over time, the alcohol in the wine becomes more intense, along with the sugar, while the bouquet is enhanced. When we tasted the four wines during the master class, we were able to see the differences between them depending on their age. The youngest, the 10-year-old wine, was not too sweet and not too dry. It had aromas of honey and wood. The 16-yearold wine was drier with some saltiness and zing on the finish. The third, which was my favorite, was a blend of an older and younger wine, giving it nutty, dried fruit and citrus aromas. It was dry on the finish but very elegant. The oldest wine had a very complex nose, with aromas of spices and raisins and other notes that had developed over time. No two of these were alike, which is a nod to the wine’s aging process. Here in New Hampshire, we are able to purchase a couple different brands of Madeira at the New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlets. Other wine stores carry it as well. I think it is a great wine for the cooler weather and can be enjoyed with a variety of foods or on its own, depending on the vintage and grapes.

Well-oiled machine
NH Film Festival returns to Portsmouth Oct. 13 By Kelly Sennott
news@seacoastscene.net
The 16th New Hampshire Film Festival promises 100 films, including 38 New Hampshire-affiliated titles, that patrons can check out Thursday, Oct. 13, through Sunday, Oct. 16, in downtown Portsmouth. “Much of the festival is like a welloiled machine. The films change every year, partnerships change every year, but the foundation is there,” NHFF Executive Director Nicole Gregg said via phone. In addition to screenings, the four-day event features workshops, panels and parties, which happen at the same venues as the 2015 festival: The Discover Portsmouth Center, The Music Hall, The Music Hall Loft, The Moffatt-Ladd House and 3S Artspace. But Gregg did note a few additions, like a virtuality lounge at festival headquarters — the Discover Portsmouth Center — featuring camera and lighting equipment and New Hampshire Film Festival Where: Discover Portsmouth Center, 10 Middle St., Portsmouth; The Music Hall, 28 Chestnut St., Portsmouth; The Music Hall Loft, 131 Congress St., Portsmouth; The Moffatt-Ladd House & Garden, 154 Market St., Portsmouth; 3S Artspace, 319 Vaughan St., Portsmouth When: Thursday, Oct. 13, through Sunday, Oct. 16 Admission: VIP pass $200, weekend pass $75, Thursday pass $20, Friday, Saturday or Sunday pass $35 Contact: nhfilmfestival.com, 647-6439, info@nhfilmfestival.com
new filmmaking technology. It’s also hosting the first technical-based workshop NHFF has seen in a while. This year’s festival also contains a “women in film” panel in honor of the Saturday night feature, Equity, about a woman on Wall Street threatened by a financial scandal who must untangle a web of corruption. “It’s still, unfortunately, a male-dominated industry,” Gregg said. “I think a lot of female filmmakers are making an effort to create roles that offer a stronger presence for women.” Attendees can keep their eye out for this year’s celebrity guests, who include John Michael Higgins (Seinfeld, Arrested Development, Pitch Perfect and Best in Show), Tom Bergeron, host of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, and TV and film actress Alicia Witt. Many filmmakers with New Hampshire ties see NHFF as a homecoming of sorts. They travel back to the Granite State to get exposure, see their projects on the big screen and rub elbows with other industry professionals, but it’s also a draw to see friends and family still living in the area. One of these is Robert Scott Wildes, director and co-writer of the feature narrative Poor Boy, a Western about two misfit brothers hustling cash and chasing dreams in the desert. It screened at the Tribeca Film Festival this spring, and at the time of the phone call, he was in negotiations with distributors. Wildes lived in Bedford and Merrimack as a kid and went to The Derryfield School in Manchester, and this is his third film in the festival. NHFF, he said, has been very supportive of his career; it’s the first one he

ever got into back in 2007, and he’s happy to see how much it’s grown. “I have filmmaker friends who’ve had their movies screen there, and they had great experiences. It’s cool to see the reputation gaining momentum throughout the country. And Portsmouth in October — how can you pass that up? It’s like the most beautiful place in America,” Wildes said. This is also the third NHFF for filmmaker Tara Price, who wrote and directed Earworm and grew up in Hampton. Hers is a “creepy, unsettling” film, according to its description, a short about a reclusive man who’s repeatedly woken up over the course of a night by severe headaches accompanied by musical repetition from an unknown source. A high school friend, Bri-
an James, composed the song that plays a large role in the movie. Justin Connor, who grew up in Manchester, presents his premiere feature, The Golden Age, which he directed, produced, starred in and wrote the music for. It’s a fictitious documentary about a subversive pop star, Maya O’Malley (played by Connor) who, after a string of incendiary remarks in the press, gets dropped from his music label. He said via phone that making the film was a long process but a labor of love. “The fact that anybody ever completes a film is sort of a miracle. I really worked tirelessly over a number of years on this, and I’m so proud of it,” Connor said. “It will be good to celebrate other filmmakers’ films as much as mine.”

Occasionally, Kathleen Madigan comes up with a joke that she can’t use in her act. Watching Star Trek: The Next Generation recently, she noticed a paradox in the show’s future world. “They have holodecks and intergalactic travel, but still haven’t figured out how to cure baldness?” she wondered. “I’m guessing that dude on TV telling me he has the answer is lying.” So she called a follicly challenged comic friend and gave the joke to him. Speaking by phone from a tour stop in Seattle, Madigan continued in that vein. “I drove by this place in the backwoods of the South that had a goat tied up on top of a card table in front of a mobile home,” she said. “I had to take pictures. I passed them to [Jeff] Foxworthy and said, ‘I don’t know if you’re still doing your redneck bit, but here’s your little bucket of gold!’” Madigan has been on the road all year with her Mermaid Tour; she’ll be in New Hampshire for a second time when she stops at Hampton Beach Casino on Oct. 13 (after playing Plymouth in June). Any rare break from performing is savored. “I make myself take days off,” she said. “I have to argue with people, but yeah, I do have one every now and then.” Ideally, time away means “literally no Kathleen Madigan

have-tos” — no press calls or shuttling between cities. “I don’t count things like renewing my driver’s license, that’s a normal life activity,” Madigan said, “but what I do want to do is a lot of fun nothing — golf, fishing, go see my brother or sister and their kids, binge-watch my shows. ... I’m two episodes behind on Ray Donovan and three on Billions — I have stuff to do!” Madigan will sometimes bring perspective to her comic friends like Lewis Black and Ron White. “Every once in a while, Lew will go, ‘I can’t believe I gotta do Fallon, and then they want me to shoot over to another show.’ He’ll be overwhelmed. I’ll say, ‘Yeah, but Lew, you have enough money to retire 10 times; you don’t have to do anything. I still have a mortgage to pay. If you’re overbooked, you better look in the mirror and yell
at that guy!’” She and White have been friends since their early days toiling in comedy clubs, before Madigan broke through nationally on Last Comic Standing and White blew up with Blue Collar Comedy Tour — and got rich in the process. “Ron will call and say, ‘Ah, the jet is broken and now I gotta fly Delta.’ I go, ‘Dude, I remember when you lived in a van! Get a grip on what your problems really are.’ … A water pipe burst at his new house in Beverly Hills. ... I understand that’s frustrating, but I said, ‘You have two other houses. Most people can’t say that.’ He’s like, ‘The house is messed up; I’m going to take my private jet to my other house.’ What?!” Fans of her 2013 special Madigan Again will be pleased to learn a follow-up should arrive soon. Details, however, are mum at present. “At some point someone is going to see it somewhere,” Madigan said. “It is all done, but the lawyer people are very slow. I think if this was a divorce and I was really angry, I’d start killing people. … It’s a good thing they’re on an hourly salary.” Regarding comics complaining of political correctness run amok with overly sensitive audiences, Madigan thinks more than a few are leading with their chins. “Lewis Black is on stage every night talking about all kinds of things – gun control, Trump and Hillary. He’s not getting haters or PC police coming after him,” she said. “Some people kind of invite it and when it comes they say it’s not right. Well, you asked for it! That’s my opinion. If you know you’re possibly picking a fight, then you have to be ready to fight, and you can’t complain. … You started it. Clearly, it doesn’t happen in my world.”
Gypsy weekend
Django By The Sea festival returns for second year By Michael Witthaus
news@seacoastscene.net
A hybrid of French, Spanish, Eastern European and American elements, gypsy jazz was invented and refined by guitarist Django Reinhardt and violin player Stephane Grappelli in Paris cafés during the 1930s and 1940s. The unique music traveled across the Atlantic after World War II. Its popularity endured; annual Django Festivals happen across the country. Rhythm Future Quartet played a few times at DjangoFest Northwest, an event held off the coast of Seattle. Jason Anick, the group’s violinist, would often muse about doing one closer to home.
SEACOAST SCENE | OCTOBER 6 - 12, 2016 | PAGE 32
“What makes it a great festival is the location; it brings the community together, and world-class gypsy jazz musicians from all over gather there,” Anick said recently. “I thought it would be awesome to have something like it on the East Coast, [and] the Kittery/Portsmouth region is perfect.” So Anick launched Django By The Sea last year at The Dance Hall in Kittery. With two days of concerts followed by post-show “Djam” sessions in a nearby restaurant, it was a resounding success. “The community rallied around it and really loved it, and the musicians came out for the jam session,” Anick said. “I was thinking, this is something we could really build.” For 2016, the event expands to four days and two states. It begins with a Portsmouth
Book & Bar event with Mes Amis, a band that played last year’s festival led by Mainebased guitarist, vocalist and composer Steve Lynnworth. Twelve-year-old virtuoso guitarist Henry Acker will sit in with them as a special guest. Anick said the free show is “a way to bring people into this style of music, introduce it to them and get to know ... the atmosphere that this festival is all about.” On Friday, The Dance Hall hosts the California-based Ivan Peña Quartet, with guest trumpeter and vocalist Jay Wilkinson from Hot Club of Oklahoma. Grammy winner John Jorgenson headlines. Saturday it’s Rhythm Future Quartet and Ultrafaux, with an all-star jam and swing dance led by the Hadacol Bouncers closing out the long weekend on Sunday.
Workshops are an important component of any good festival, and there are four scheduled for Saturday. Jorgenson conducts a guitar clinic for experienced players new to the genre at noon, followed by an Anick violin clinic. Rhythm Future Quartet guitarist Olli Soikkeli will teach a standard gypsy jazz tune like “Django’s Tiger” along with classic licks, phrases, chord voicing and picking techniques. Clinic sessions cost $30, but a final workshop titled Introduction to Gypsy Jazz is free, no reservation required. Part of the festival’s general theme of bringing more genre converts into the fold, it’s led by Jorgenson and members of Rhythm Future Quartet. Anick came to gypsy jazz as a gradeschool violinist. His father took him to see Stephane Grappelli when he was 12 and the spell was cast. “It’s such an expressive style of music,” he said. “To me, it’s like an open palette both creatively and musically, especially as an improvising violinist … you can bring anything else into it. The style just stuck with me.” In his final year of college, Jorgenson invited Anick to join his band. “Right out of Berklee, I was playing about 150 dates with his band all around the world,” he said. “My career was launched with this style of music, and I continue to pursue it and grow with it.” With the festival’s expansion, Anick said, “there are so many things I’m excited about. I’m thrilled we got John Jorgenson this year. I think it’s going to be really fantastic to have a high-profile artist on the roster. I’m excited that we are bringing in workshops as well; there’s a lot more to learn about this style so they can play it themselves and continue to spread it.” Anick became a permanent resident of Portsmouth in early spring, and he’s now a big-time booster of the region. “I love bringing musicians to this area that don’t know it that well and introducing them to the local scene; show them around so they fall in love it,” he said. “People that

BEACH BUM FUN HOROSCOPES • Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Use your charm, intellect and know-how to command attention. I’m sorry, were you saying something?
By Holly, The Seacoast Area's Leading Astrologer
• Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): For you, love is in the stars, as it certainly isn’t present anywhere on planet Earth. • Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you choose to please everyone, not everyone will be happy with your choice. Figure that one out!
• Aries (March 21-April 19): You will find a completely new purpose in life, but it won’t be any better than the old one. • Taurus (April 20-May 20): You will have a dream about a revolutionary communications tool. Unfortunately, the telephone has already been invented. • Gemini (May 21-June 20): Size up whatever situation you face and do what works best for you. In other words, run! • Cancer (June 21-July 22): A small gesture will make a big difference in someone’s life today. No, not that kind of gesture.
• Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Time to take chances and try something daring and new. Start by using floss. • Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t hesitate to say exactly what’s on your mind. People appreciate it when you’re unusually quiet. • Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can make a good financial move if you use your talent and skills. Oh yes, you’ll need some money, too.
Beer, Wine, Lottery Tickets & Tobacco
• Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You should splurge on a long sea voyage, but don’t go overboard. • Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today you will get sudden insight into life’s great questions. Still no sign of answers, though.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Foul-feathered friends
In September, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, noting a recent uptick in cases of “live-poultry-associated salmonella,” repeated its earlier (apparently largely ignored) alert that people should not be kissing chickens (or ducks or turkeys). CDC noted the recent popularity of urban egg farming, but reminded “hipster” farmers and faddish pet patrons that cuddling the animals, or bringing the little darlings into the home, can spread dangerous bacteria for which humans are unprepared.
Suspicions confirmed
• A recent working paper by two Louisiana State University economists revealed that the state’s juvenile court judges dole out harsher sentences on weeks following a loss by the LSU football team (among those judges who matriculated at LSU). The differences in sentences were particularly stark in those seasons that LSU’s team was nationally ranked. (All sentences from 1996 to 2012 were examined, for first-time juvenile offenders, except for murder and aggravated-rape cases.) • The NCAA’s two-year probation handed to Georgia Southern University’s football program in July included a note that two football players were given “impermissible” inside help to pass a course. It turns out that even though GSU’s former assistant director of student-athlete services stealthily wrote five extra-credit assignments for each of the players, still, neither player was apparently in good enough shape to pass the course.

• A paramedic with the St. Louis Fire Department discovered on Aug. 4 that his car, in the station’s parking lot, had been broken into and was missing various items. Minutes after he filed a police report, the station received an emergency call about a pedestrian hit by a car, and the paramedic and crew rushed to the scene. As he was helping the victim, the paramedic noticed that his own gym bag and belongings were strewn about the scene and concluded that the man he was attending to was likely the man who had broken into his car. The paramedic continued to assist the man, and police told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that they would arrest the man as soon as he was discharged from the hospital. • Raylon Parker, doing his duty in August on a grand jury in Halifax County, North Carolina, listened to a prosecutor lay out a case, and to Parker’s apparent surprise, the case was against Raylon Parker (for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill). Still, he voted on the indictment, which passed (though, due to grand jury secrecy, we do not know which way he voted). One possibility: He voted to indict, assuming a judge would toss it out, tainting the prosecutor’s case.

However, Parker’s judge said the indictment signifying “probable cause” was still valid and that she would not inquire how Parker had voted.

Bright ideas
Recurring themes
• Business is booming for Lainey Morse, the owner of No Regrets Farm in Albany, Oregon, and the founder of “Goat Yoga” an outdoor regimen of relaxation carried out among her wandering goats. “Do you know how hard it is to be sad and depressed when there are baby goats jumping around?” she asked, proudly noting that she is booked up right now, with a waiting list of 500. One problem has surfaced, though (as she told a Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reporter): Naive baby goats try to eat flower designs on yoga mats, leading Morse to permit only mats of solid colors. • Wesley Autrey, 42, was arrested by Scranton, Pennsylvania, detectives in September in a drug bust with five bags of heroin and four of cocaine (along with $3,083 cash) and charged with dealing. Autrey (street name, for some reason: “Newphew”) wet his pants during the arrest, which police said he did under the mistaken impression that heroin would dissolve when exposed to urine. • Eau de Toilette: Although India’s sacred Ganges River remains ridiculously polluted, it retains holy credibility for Hindus, who consume and bathe in it regularly for salvation. Since reaching the Ganges can be difficult for India’s poor, the country’s postal service (with 155,000 offices) began recently to offer home delivery of the Ganges, in bottles, for the equivalent of about 22 to 37 cents. (Tip: Water bottled in the small town of Gangotri, which is near the origin of the river, is

Goldfish Revisited: (1) Emma Marsh of Kuraby, Australia, shelled out $500 in September for her goldfish’s emergency medical care to remove the pebble stuck in poor Conquer’s throat. (Brisbane’s Courier-Mail noted that the $500 could have bought 40 replacements that $500 is about what an actual bar of gold of Conquer’s weight would cost.) (2) Elsewhere Down Under, researchers from Murdoch University in Perth said in August they were working on a goldfish-control program after learning that one species dumped in the nutrient-rich Vasse River in Western Australia could grow to 4 pounds and the size of a football.)
Updates
Music researcher David Teie announced in September that he had landed a deal with major label Universal Music to distribute his “Music for Cats” (touted in News of the Weird in February). The music, with Teie accompanying on the cello, includes painstakingly timed “purring” and “sucking” sounds designed to relax kitties, and he reiterated plans to move on to special music for other animals. (In a similar vein, artists led by Dominic Wilcox staged a brief August show in London of exhibits and paintings of scenes that Wilcox thought would appeal to dogs, and would, he said, garner “tail wags.” One interactive exhibit, for example, featured an open car window simulator hosting an array of scents.)
