A WORD FROM LARRY
Welcome back
Master McGrath’s
Welcome to our first bi-weekly edition of the Seacoast Scene! We’re featuring all kinds of upcoming events, including community activities, art and theater shows, book events and library Larry Marsolais activities, outdoor fun, nightlife and more. Now, let’s talk Halloween! I love this time of the year and have to admit that I go a little overboard when it comes to decorating the yard. In Hampton, go down High Street toward the beach, turn right onto Oak Road (across from Victorian Inn) and take your first left. You should see the glow as soon as make your left. Whether you go all out or not, keep your light on for the trick-or-treaters. (See page ? for a list of local trick-or-treating times). A couple of events coming up: The second annual Dan Healy Veterans Matter 5K Run/Walk is being held Nov. 6 at 11 a.m. It starts and finishes at Dan’s mon-

It’s that time of year again when the ghosts, ghouls and goblins come out — little ones with bags full of candy, and big ones haunting houses and woods. Halloween is all about candy and costumes for some, and terrifying fun for others. Whichever you prefer, the Scene has got your Halloween fix covered, with tricks to make this spooky season a real treat.
The makings of an outdoor haunt
The Scene was given an inside look at the workings of Haunted Overload, recognized by Hauntworld.com as the scariest haunt in America. Haunted Overload’s promotion coordinator, actor, makeup artist, set builder and costume designer Kyle Arruda took the Scene deep into the spooky world of the frightening outdoor haunt on the property of DeMeritt Hill Farm in Lee. At first glance, the farm oozes cozy feelings of fall, with tractors pulling wagons, hay bales in the fields and pumpkins decorating the outside of the farm store. But at night the Haunted Overload trail toward the woods takes on a much spookier feel. In fact, even in the midafternoon sun, the outdoor haunt emanates a sense of fear. As the Scene toured the trail, chipmunks and squirrels darted through the leaves, making even Arruda jump at the sudden disturbances. This year, the queue is longer to account for bigger crowds. There will be no time for boredom when you’re waiting in line as towering pumpkin scarecrows encircle you and charred bodies hang from the inside of a skeleton face large enough for the line of visitors to maneuver through. Actors walk up, down and through the line scaring the guests before they can even get to the main attraction. “Every year we’ll take something down, recreate and rebuild,” Arruda said. “Eric [Lowther, Haunted Overload’s founder and owner] is always scheming even before the season is over. He already has ideas for next year that are amazing.” One of the new additions this year is a
completely remade circus tent, The House of Fun. Look out for the splashing mermaid in the ceramic tub pulled straight from the Atlantic Ocean, and the clown that launches insults at people as they enter the haunted course. Watch for the glowing eyes as you get closer to the mansion. Abaddon Hall, the enormously tall house along the trail, is back again this year towering over people as they nervously enter the building. Inside, a tree grows through the house leading to a large opening with jagged floorboards above people’s heads that let the moonlight spill into the dark house. “A lot of times people are amazed that they actually walk through here,” Arruda said standing in front of the Victorian house. “We have to be really creative with covered space because we’re only allowed a certain amount of covered space by the fire department.” Beginning the rebuild of the outdoor haunt usually starts in March as the ground begins to thaw and snow starts to melt. With only three or four people working on its construction during this time, the builders work to start making Lowther’s ideas come to fruition, though the trail is not fully completed until opening day in October. “It takes a lot of time to create, but it always comes together in such a unique and cool way.” Arruda said.

A SPOOKY SEACOAST STORY The Seacoast is filled with history and ghost stories. Longtime Hampton residents and sisters Ali and Dianna Herlehy shared with the Scene their story of a house they lived in as children and the spooky things that went on inside.
109495
Let’s journey back in time to about 17 years ago. A local family flips houses, fixing them up and selling them before moving on to the next home. The family moves their two young daughters with them from house to house, the little girls enjoying each new house and the uniqueness each has to offer. The latest house is an old New England colonial built during the 1700s. The house has been vacant for at least 20 years now. The white house with its chipping paint sits close to the road, which tells of a time when acres of farmland were once removed for the smooth, paved road. Inside, the house has four original fireplaces used to heat the home. Lots of windows flood the rooms with natural light during the day. At night, the house fills with creaking noises, the scratching sounds of the latest squirrel or mouse that has inhabited the walls — and the occasional unmistakable sound of a baby’s rattle shaking upstairs in the attic. Yet whenever the attic was investigated to locate the source of the rattle, the attic stood empty with no sounds to be heard. The little girls, Ali and Dianna, run through the house playing games with each other to pass the time. Di had a friend that Ali did not have. Her name was Isa. Isa was Di’s imaginary friend. After all, Di was only 5 or 6 years old at the time while Ali was 9 and too old for imaginary friends. “Isa wore a white dress with these little black shoes and had brown hair,” Ali said, recounting her sister’s description of Isa. “She’s an angel. [Di] would always tell this story about how Isa’s father died and how Isa went to heaven.”
“From what I can remember, she wore a white lace dress and had strawberry blonde or brownish hair that was really curly,” Di added. Di would draw pictures of her family standing in front of their house, but not without Isa. Isa would be floating in the air like an angel. “I remember telling my family about her and that she had a sister named Mary,” Di said. “I wanted Ali to become friends with her because she didn’t have any friends.” One night as the girls lay fast asleep in their beds Ali awoke to a strange figure on the other side of the room that was oddly familiar. “Ali said … she woke up and thought she saw Isa … from what I had described of her,” Di said. Children having imaginary friends is not uncommon. However, once the Herlehy family had finished fixing up the house, it was time to move on to the next. “Once my parents sold the house, Di had said that Isa wouldn’t be able to move with us,” Ali said. “Di said, ‘Isa has to stay here.’” Now, a house built during the 1700s holds a great amount of history. The basement floor was made of dirt and housed dead relatives from previous owners. “We ended up finding gravestones in the basement because when family members died during the winter the ground outside was frozen, so they needed to get buried somewhere,” Ali said. The family also found historical artifacts like bayonets, which they donated to the Historical Society. But the real find was made by the girls’ father, who stumbled across old records of the house dating back to its first owners. Within the papers was the name and description of a little girl named Isabell. “Di had been talking to a ghost all that time,” Ali said.

actors love what they do. “We have a headless horseman character that roams the trail and a really cool bird character that sits in a huge nest along the trail and a person that barks at people,” Arruda said. “Everybody comes with their own characters … which means that we get the most passionate people. People that don't enjoy Halloween or like scaring people are not going to come and work here for free.” Arruda himself has three characters that he portrays. One has a hillbilly look that is more comical than scary as he wears tattered overalls and holds a Budweiser can. Look out for Arruda’s newest witch character that will be creeping the trail, part of a coven of other terrifying witches. And the character that Arruda is particularly fond of is Beth. Wearing a dirty floral dress, pointed teeth and a metal mouthpiece holding his jaw open, Arruda can be found giving unsettling glances to people in line or stamping tickets with black saliva pouring from his mouth. “I got inspired for Beth from other actors and tailored it into something that’s scary but also uncomfortable [for people to look at],” Arruda said. Arruda’s staple makeup item is black food coloring. To achieve a black oozing saliva effect, Arruda will mix black food coloring with mouthwash and let it slowly drip from his mouth, down his chin and to Trick or treat times

wherever else it falls. “I usually go with a pale foundation, [red, tired] eyes and black food coloring.” Arruda said. “A lot of people here have actually started doing the black food coloring.” Simple makeup is better, Arruda says. “My Beth character takes about 45 minutes for the makeup,” he said. For people at home wanting to achieve similar looks, stores like Hot Topic sell very light foundations, which Arruda uses over other thick Halloween makeup. Without overloading the skin with white coloring, the foundation can create a pale, sickly look. A pale face mixed with dark eyes that give the appearance of sleeplessness makes for a crazed look with the addition of the black food coloring. Custom-ordered masks and other props are also good options for people wanting to look particularly spooky. Arruda’s No. 1 suggestion for do-ityourself costumes is to head to a local Goodwill, Savers or other thrift store, where an array of different types of worn clothing can be purchased at low prices. “Just cut it up and rip it up,” Arruda added. Want to make something look particularly worn in? Arruda suggests soaking the costume in tea. Using a few tea bags, let the clothing soak in the natural color from the tea, creating a dirty, sweaty, worn-in appearance. “I’ll also take acrylic paints and a brush and dry brush places that I would think are sweaty, like seams along the inner thighs, armpits and the base of a hat,” Arruda said. Find places on the clothing that would likely get worn over time. For example, Arruda created holes on the knees of a costume to emulate a tired piece of clothing. Using sandpaper, wear out pockets, knees, elbows and other places to create a weathered costume. The overall creepy look all comes together with makeup, costume and props ready to scare any friend or neighbor.

the center is trying to bring back more programs for the public at large. “We have a community garden here where folks can discuss problems with squash, say, or the new homeowner who says, ‘We just bought a house and have this tree in front, we have no idea what it is,” Dupere said. He said the center sees a good crowd of people who come to take a walk, many of them bringing their dogs. People can come seven days a week, free of charge. “Everything’s settling down for the winter now, and the drought didn’t help, but we’ve maintained as best as possible this year, with marked plants and foliage,” he said. “It’s a great way to see what’s out here in New Hampshire.” Even if you don’t go to the center in particular, Dupere recommends spending time outdoors.

Where there’s a tree, there’s an arborist. And where there’s an arborist, there’s knowledge. At the Urban Forestry Center in Portsmouth, on the Rye border along Route 1, you’ll find not one but many trees — and arborists, though not quite as many — within the 182-acre grounds, in addition to bird-watching areas, herb gardens, shrubs, a working vegetable garden, walking trails, a greenhouse, a cemetery, and several outbuildings for classes, workshops and exhibits. Open seven days a week and free of charge, this nature sanctuary on the outskirts of the city is often overlooked along the way to Seacoast beaches and downtown. But if you have a tree, know of a tree, or want to learn about a tree, you should be here. Managed by the Division of Forests and Lands of the Department of Resources and Economic Development, the land was donated in 1976 by John Elwyn Stone, of Revolutionary War descent, with a trust fund to establish and maintain the center, which to this day helps finance the center, workshops and staffing. This year, the center hopes to attract more visitors who may not be experts in or familiar with the field to learn about trees and their importance. Urban Forester and Center Supervisor A.J. Dupere is a busy man. “There are many hats to my job, and it’s changed over the years. I’ve been here since 1999 and now there are so many more ways to spread the word, on websites, Facebook. I know we’re out in the media more than we used to be for sure. Chronicle and NECN news, for instance, have been out here; I took them on a walk around the grounds,” Dupere said. To widen its scope, in addition to offering advanced tree-identification classes,

in New Hampshire, all those little niches out there.” Being the second most-forested state in America (second only to Maine), New Hampshire boasts a prime market for forestry. “So there’s a tree somewhere in reach. There are so many beautiful parks, even in cemeteries,” said Dupere, who has spent a lot of time in cities identifying trees by species and milling wood to clear debris so the sites are healthy. “Two years ago I became an Urban Forester. I was a Community Forester for years out helping communities with their land, maybe they had a tree with broken branches. We worked with cities and towns to rehab trees. Towns do overhauls and redo their Main Street, then get busy and all those trees fall off the radar, with few resourcA. J. DUPERE es and manpower to upkeep the trees. So they hire arborists to provide education, inventory trees,” Dupere said. It is a worthwhile challenge to encourage people to get mud on their shoes, as Dupere put it, to show visitors who may have no knowledge of trees and forestry that nature is our best resource for education and the human spirit. “The way I see it, the one tree in downtown Portsmouth is as beneficial as a whole forest. It’s still generating some enthusiasm for trees, it still provides shade, and people still wonder about it,” Dupere said.

“You get out of it what you put into it,” he said. “You have to spend time in nature, explore, stop and listen. There are so many different parts to nature. And it’s just a different way of where kids are coming from nowadays. Kids aged 15 to 18 years old may not be that excited about places like this at first, when the biggest thrill is maybe riding your mountain bike on the trails. But if you stop and take the time, you can discover and learn so much. Spend time flipping rocks over and find what’s underneath it. Look at trees. Science and nature can be fun to interact with.” The fall, according to Dupere, is prime time for tree identification, which is done by species and colors you’re seeing. Everything you can see and hear in the woods is discussed and noted in the woods around the Urban Forestry Center. “Of the 182 acres, there’s a 90-acre wood lot, so you won’t get lost. We’re not hiking in the White Mountains here. You don’t need any survival skills to take a walk in the woods,” Dupere said. The Forest Service is currently running a campaign to motivate people to visit local forests, “trying to get people out of their chairs and out there,” Dupere said. “Even if the only place you have to go is a city park with five trees in it, those trees matter. There are pockets all over New Hampshire that people don’t go to or haven’t seen. You can get away so easily

How long have you been with the library? As of this fall, it’s seven years here and 12 years in the field.
in a friendly and low-pressure atmosphere. Basically, we are up-to-date, on the ball and ready to help. The internet has not replaced your public library but given us a powerful tool to help you in the time-honored manner in which we always have. If technology has you overspent, baffled or frustrated, we can help.
What is your biggest challenge in terms of engaging the local community? Rye is a tremendously engaged community. It is greatly rewarding to offer public events and have a consistent and enthusiastic response. My challenge is to effectively communicate our robust and growing offering of remote-access electronic services, programming alternatives and collection additions so that our members will get the most out of their library experience. Talk about some of the programs you have developed to engage the public. Rye Public Library has innovated in the range and variety of public programs we offer to the public. In a given week, visitors can take part in regular yoga, mah jongg, bridge, knitting and adult coloring groups. We have weekly story times for preschoolers and Mother Goose infant and toddler sessions. Our director of youth services is attending infant yoga instruction classes this fall for future programming. We offer weekly matinee movies and technology one-on-one sessions. We currently have two art displays in the library and will feature a slide lecture with our featured artist, Rosalind Revilock-Frost, in December. [We have] a long-running adult book discussion group and a subject-specific military history reading group. In another subject- and activity-specific reading group, we recently concluded discussion of Run The World by Becky Wade. In this Running and Reading group, members read the selected book in sections, meeting weekly to discuss what we’ve read and then take a run together — the sessions span four weeks leading to a road race which participants can enter to run together. Our final discussion session featured a surprise [when] author Becky Wade joined us by Skype. How important is technology to what you do today? Technology has assumed an unavoidable role in our lives, and that includes how we locate, store and retrieve information and entertainment. Since libraries have a long-established place in the process of

assisting readers and information-seekers in finding and accessing what they need, we have naturally evolved into technology centers in addition to our time-honored community collection and repository roles. This transition enables us to seamlessly provide materials in the manner to which tech-savvy individuals are accustomed — downloadable or streaming resources, such as e-books, audiobooks, music, film, etc. However, we also play an important role in helping those who are less comfortable with technology gain a foothold with new resources. I fondly recall helping a 90-year-old patron with his interest in trying a Kindle reader several years ago. Bridging the technology divide from offering electronic devices to borrow and explore with to offering classes and individual technology help sessions is a key function of ... all community libraries today. What don’t people know about libraries that you think they should know? I’d like to let people know their public library still has their favorite print classics and new releases but is equally well-versed in the e-book and e-reader worlds. Why buy everything you read on your Kindle when your library can provide a wealth of choices at no fee? You can also try a reader or other devices for your first time, or fine-tune the electronic borrowing, downloading or streaming processes
What changes are on the horizon for the library in the next five years? What changes do you foresee in the entire industry? I predict that public libraries will continue to reflect the manner in which their users access the information and entertainment materials they seek. That adaptation will span new technologies as well as established delivery systems like the good old-fashioned codex or bound paper book. I don’t see printed books and other materials leaving us entirely — and as long as they are being published, public libraries will collect what their communities desire. Another important and forgotten role for libraries will be the archive collection of digital-borne information. If something only ever existed as a specific type of computer file, and that technology is later superseded, how will one ever obtain that information again? It is among the duties of librarians to develop methods to keep materials accessible to researchers. That complication reinforces my adherence to print materials as long as they are desired by the public — and I think that will always be the case based on what I hear from my patrons. While technology changes in ever faster cycles, the simple bound book has worked as an information storage and delivery system for centuries. Consider this — how would you go about viewing something you stored on that floppy disc down in the bottom of your drawer? On the other hand, with proper treatment, one can simply open even the earliest print books still in existence to reveal their secrets. Your public library will span the ages to bring readers their books. — Rob Levey

is likely, as she would then be able to teach elementary kids from kindergarten through fifth grade. In addition to her studies Barbour-Grissom plays field hockey, but she candidly acknowledges, “That’s pretty much it.” In looking back at her experience at Winnacunnet High School, she said she would have approached things a little bit differently. “If I was to go back and tell myself something, it would have been, ‘Try a little harder to make your grades worth your while,’” she said. “You have to look at your GPA and test scores like your SATs. I wish I had tried a little harder, so I could feel like I accomplished everything I could. I definitely would have joined more clubs and school activities.” Despite these misgivings, she said she is very happy to have discovered her career path at SST, which she believes will open doors for her. “I think my experience here will help me outside the classroom,” she said. “I know other kids who have gotten jobs in childcare because of the Careers in Education program. … It’s definitely exciting.” — Rob Levey

One of the things Hampton resident Megan Barbour-Grissom, a senior at Winnacunnet High School, enjoys most is working with children — which she plans to do as a career upon completing her education. “I think I have always had a sense I wanted to work with children,” she said. She began to seriously think about ways to pursue her interest by seventh grade, she said, and found her opportunity last year in the Careers in Education program at the Seacoast School of Technology. “I highly enjoy the program here,” she said. It’s not just the program itself she enjoys, though, as she noted that she is the only Winnacunnet student currently enrolled in it — a challenge she said has made her a stronger student. “Most of the other students are from Exeter, so a lot of my experience is me trying to meet people here, although there are some here from last year, too,” BarbourGrissom said. “I like it.” She also likes the challenge of working with preschool-age children, which is where she spends her time applying lessons she learns from her teachers, whom she said have also helped teach her about child development. “You have to help kids problem-solve, and that’s not always easy for preschoolers,” she said. “You have to sit them down and figure out how to help kids get along. One kid, for example, might hit another kid, and then the other wants to hit them back in response. Obviously, that kind of thinking can’t work now or in their future. … A lot of what we do is help them voice their own opinions and feelings.” Barbour-Grissom said she also helps kids transition from one time of day to another. “Kids who arrive for the afternoon session need to be transitioned and then when they are ready to go home,” she added. For Barbour-Grissom, one of the important things about the program is the fact that she is placed in a position of trust. Citing preschool as a crucial component in a child’s development process, she said she appreciates the faith shown to her by both teachers and parents. “It’s a big responsibility I take very seriously,” she said. Barbour-Grissom is looking at several colleges but has yet to decide where she’ll go. She said obtaining her master’s degree

CAR TALK
This car problem is driving the owner nuts Dear Car Talk: I own a 2014 Toyota Sequoia and took the car in to the dealer for its 35,000-mile oil change and maintenance — including a tire rotation. The serBy Ray Magliozzi vice manager called to tell me that everything was done and in good shape, but that he had to talk to me about something. Needless to say, I was curious and just a bit concerned. When I got there, he told me that my lug nuts were swollen. I had never heard of such a thing happening. He told me that the lug nuts are made out of two different metals and that this swelling often occurs. He recommended replacement, but said it might be OK if I went to an auto-parts store and bought the new lug nuts myself if I wasn’t comfortable paying the $14 apiece for the 20 factory originals ($280!). He indicated that there is not a safety issue, but said they have to use a socket one size larger than normal, and therefore, my lug nuts might become scratched. I wondered why I would buy factory originals only to have my lug nuts swell up again, and asked if I should contact Toyota to see if maybe it could replace them with non-swelling lug nuts that would have
been more properly engineered. So, Ray, do I have a valid beef with Toyota? Is there a safety issue, or is this indeed just a cosmetic thing? Where can I buy lug nuts that don’t swell? — Tim Whatever you do, Tim, don’t put BenGay on them. These lug nuts are indeed made of two different metals. There’s the lug nut itself, which is steel, and then there’s a thin, chrome-plated metal covering, which is entirely cosmetic. Because the lug nuts on this truck are exposed, Toyota wanted to make them look nice and shiny, rather than rusty and ugly — like most lug nuts. So they covered the nuts with a chromed sheet metal. We’ve seen a lot of cases of swollen nuts in the shop. Usually, it tends to be associated with older cars; it’s not something we typically see on a 3-yearold vehicle. What happens is that moisture gets in there and begins to rust and swell the steel nut, which then pushes on the chrome nut-cover, making the whole thing enlarged. And while it’s not a safety issue per se, in that your wheels are going to fall off, it is a safety issue in that the lug wrench that comes with your spare tire won’t fit over them anymore. It’s supposed to be a 21-millimeter nut. But now yours are 22 millimeters. And if you
have a flat tire in a remote location, that lug wrench is going to be unable to grip the nuts. Or, if there’s a lot of rust underneath, the chrome cover can actually break off, and you’ll be left with smaller nuts than you thought you had. Not to mention less-shiny nuts. So I would complain to Toyota, Tim. At 35,000 miles, you shouldn’t have to spend nearly $300 to replace something that should last the life of the vehicle. If Toyota turns you down, then, as a backup measure, I’d buy a breaker bar and a bunch of sockets. I’d get a 19-, a 20-, a 22and a 23-mm socket. And I’d throw all that stuff in with your spare tire. That likely will cover any swollen- or delaminated-nut scenario you encounter with a flat tire. But I would hope that Toyota will take care of you. Unless you’re parking in a salt marsh, this sort of nut-swelling shouldn’t happen on a car of this age. Dear Car Talk: Is it really necessary to use distilled water in batteries? I run a store in a campground, and people are always asking for distilled water to fill their batteries. I tell them that I heard that it makes very little difference whether they use distilled or tap water, but nobody believes me.
Can you answer this in your column, so I can hang it up and show them when they ask? I could just sell them distilled water, but not in good conscience. — Joe Most batteries you see under the hoods of cars don’t need water, Joe. Every battery we sell these days is factory-sealed, so you never have to add anything to it. The only thing you ever have to add is money: When it dies, you buy a new one. Now, it may be that old-style batteries are more common in the RVs you see. And distilled water will never hurt, but even older batteries will do fine with tap water. I suppose if you live in a part of the country that has excessively hard water — so hard that it chips a tooth when you rinse your mouth — you could consider using distilled water in the battery. Hard water contains lots of dissolved minerals, which I suppose could shorten a battery’s life. But I’m not even sure that’s true. But I think you’re missing the bigger picture here, Joe. There’s a big business opportunity here — but it’s not in distilled water for batteries. The big money is in selling these folks distilled water with which to wash their RVs! I’ll go in with you on that one, Joe. Visit Cartalk.com.

Everything’s coming up pumpkin How local bakers are using the fall staple No other symbol can claim the fall harvest throne more than the pumpkin. From its seeds to its meaty innards, pumpkin is so versatile that it fits into almost any recipe. Unanimously, Seacoast bakers look forward to the seasonal opportunities of fall and fulfilling any incoming request. Perhaps surprisingly, they’re split on fresh versus canned pumpkin as the star ingredient. The traditional canned pumpkin tends to create a smoother, denser outcome, while the fresh pumpkin sings of sweet notes and a certain lightness. Andi Roe, owner of Andi’s Gluten Free Kitchen based in Hampton, recommends good old canned Libby’s 100-percent Pure Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling, she emphasized). Having experimented with both fresh pumpkin and canned organic, Roe has found that they end up too watery. “With Libby’s, it’s beautiful,” Roe said. “There’s a science to baking; it takes a little bit of experimenting and figuring out, but once you have the formula it’s all worth it.” For her pumpkin whoopie pies and cupcakes, as well as to top her carrot cake, Roe uses a cream cheese filling made with nondairy margarine, confectioner’s sugar and vanilla. “It’s very versatile,” Roe said. Over at DeMeritt Hill Farm in Lee, mother-daughter bakers Diana Russell and Cari Quigley offer many pumpkin goodies: traditional pie, fudge, whoopie pies, breads, donuts, coffee cake. You name it, they can put pumpkin in it. “The pumpkin spice cake is one of our favorites to make as well as to eat,” Quigley said. The farm bakery utilizes the fruits of their own labor, according to Quigley, using small sugar pumpkins.

“Our process is to cut them in half so that you can scoop out all of the seeds, microwave for a few minutes on high, remove all of the skin, then place it in a food processor until smooth,” she said. Quigley said that for her, the best thing about using pumpkin is its versatility and diversity. “They’re so unique in their own way. Also, with pumpkins comes the beautiful foliage and fall festivities,” she said. At Tripoli Bakery, with five locations including ones in Seabrook and Salisbury, head baker Yanett Andio agrees. “I love pumpkin, and fall is my favorite time of year and favorite season,” Andio said.

Known for its huge array of Italian cookies and cakes, Tripoli doesn’t disappoint with its esteemed cannoli in the form of pumpkin. There’s also the pumpkin cheesecakes, pumpkin moon pies, pumpkin ricotta squares and special-ordered pumpkin pies. “It’s a big batch. We start at 3 or 4 in the morning every day. We work hard to keep everything fresh,” Andio said. “We don’t make the cannoli shells here but we do all the filling. We boil down our own pumpkins, smash them, and add it to the traditional cheese and sugar mixture. Then we add all the spices.” They pick out their local pumpkins from September to Thanksgiving. “We sometimes find the pumpkins in Lawrence or Salem. We go to the farms near all our stores to find the freshest we can,” she said. For the smashed pumpkin, Andio said they have to be careful not to over-boil the pumpkin. “You have to be very sure to really drain it well. Then we get it really cold and smash them, again making sure to keep draining so it’s not too watery,” she said. A tip for making pumpkin pie, she said, is to use evaporated milk because it has better flavor and adds a richness to the dessert. Too much of it, however, will garner you a more custardy type of pie. “We have fun in the kitchen,” she said. “We usually do a lot of apple, custard, blueberry, cherry and lemon meringue pies, with a traditional homemade pastry crust, and now it’s a lot of pumpkin.” In good company is Penny Brewster,
owner of the circa 1980 Ceres Bakery in Portsmouth; she said she always looks forward to this season. “There are so many cool things this time of year,” Brewster said. Not least among them are the bakery’s annual Spooky Cookies, with all proceeds going to help fund the Mardi Gras-like Portsmouth Halloween Parade. “We make all our own pies, everything’s handmade. We do lots of pumpkin pies for the holidays, with leafy cutout designs on top,” she said. “We also have a really nice pumpkin tart, with a crumbly top. It’s really pretty.” According to Brewster, with a splash of bourbon, the tart’s creaminess is a cross between a cheesecake consistency and a pumpkin pie, but smoother. Like Roe, Brewster prefers the traditional canned pumpkin as the main ingredient. “We’ve found that canned is just better for us. We used to boil down pumpkins but weren’t happy with the end results; it’s not as smooth,” she said. “There are a bunch of different kinds out there, and we like nonorganic, unfortunately, as organic tends to be more watery and less stable.” The longtime bakery has mastered the art of giving customers what they want. “People love the pumpkin bar — it’s dense but moist like a bread, with a sugary glaze on top. It’s hugely popular. We also do a pumpkin sweet bread with an orange glaze, but the bars are something people can grab and go because they can’t eat a whole loaf of bread at lunchtime,” she said. — Jocelyn Humelsine

AT RAMON’S FOOD AND COFFEE CART Ramon’s Food and Coffee Cart can be found nestled between academic buildings at 20 A Academic Way in Durham, N.H. (603-923-2893, or find them on Facebook). Ramon’s may be small, but the food and coffee cart’s following reaches wide, often seeing lines of hungry families, professors and tired college students waiting to get their caffeine fix for the day. Ramon’s Food and Coffee Cart has been in the middle of at least two political events that brought with them a lot of press and people needing to stay caffeinated — most recently, the Democratic debate just before the New Hampshire primary. Monday through Friday, husband-and-wife team Ramon and Kristin Valdez can be found inside the cart serving steaming cups of coffee with a smile — and a complimentary cough drop during the cool fall and winter months. The Scene caught up with Ramon and Kristin Valdez just after a lunch rush to get the inside scoop on the popular cart. How long has Ramon’s Food and Coffee Cart been open? K: We’ve been open for 10 years.

We’re right here in the middle of where everyone is [walking around] and changing classes. We offer a variety of foods too. Where did the idea to open a coffee and food cart come from? K: Before our 10 years here, Ramon worked for a gentleman that had his own food truck called It’s A Wrap on [the University of New Hampshire] campus. When that cart retired we decided to open up our own because we really liked it and the environment.

Where did the name for the food and coffee cart come from? K: We wanted to name it after Ramon because it’s really his. R: The first truck had my mural on it, a big picture of me. One of the art students had painted it grafitti-style, but it’s not on here anymore because there was a [small] fire. K: We had to close for a few months because we had to order a new trailer and we had to start our business over again completely. What has been the best-selling food menu item from the restaurant? K: The best-selling menu item would probably be our rice plates. They’re pretty popular for lunch. Which menu item is your personal favorite? K: My personal favorite is the Cuban. That
has Ramon’s slow-roasted pork, sliced ham, mustard, chopped pickles, melted Swiss cheese, and it’s all pressed in the sandwich presser.
What is an essential skill that keeps Ramon’s running smoothly? K: I would say definitely working as a team and being able to provide good customer service.
If you could serve any type of celebrity or political figure that is alive or dead, who would it be? K: I would probably want Ellen DeGeneres to come here. I just think she’s so spunky and fun. She would be pretty cool to have here. R: Isn’t Ellen a vegetarian? K: I don’t know. I would just serve her whatever she wanted [laughs]. — Ashlyn Daniel-Nuboer

During my time as a wine columnist, I have had the opportunity to meet many knowledgeable and notable winemakers. I recently had the chance to add another name to this list, when Michael Mondavi traveled to New Hampshire to help formally open the largest Liquor & Wine Outlet in the region. Located on Daniel Webster Highway in Nashua, this location spans 33,000 square feet and houses more than 7,000 wines and spirits. During a break in his busy schedule, Michael sat down with me to talk about some of his wines and his family’s winemaking in California. As a third-generation winemaker, Mondavi was born into winemaking and, you might say, pretty much born to do it. His grandfather got involved in winemaking through Prohibition in the early 1920s. Knowing how to make wine, he also profited from the grape-shipping business. This is something Mondavi said the family company kept up through the 1980s. In 1966 Mondavi co-founded a winery in Napa Valley with his father, someone else you may recognize from the wine industry: Robert Mondavi. Michael was appointed president and CEO in 1994 and served as chairman from 2001 until they sold the winery in 2004. Mondavi and his wife Isabel, along with their adult children Rob and Dina, purchased land in 1999 and started establishing the Michael Mondavi Family Estate. In 2004, they launched Folio Wine Partners. Today the Mondavi family has two main hillside vineyards in Napa Valley where they grow and harvest grapes: the Oso vineyard, which is between Ink Grade and Howell Mountain, and the Animo Vineyard, on Atlas Peak. Mondavi said these locations give the wines flavor and character. Their wines are not mass-produced; the M wine is about 300 to 500 cases per year and the Animo wine about 1,200 to 1,800, depending on the vintage. “We are making wines from the hills,” he said, noting their organic practices and attention to vineyard management. “We are focusing on being wine-growers versus wine-makers.” Mondavi said 2016 has been an excellent year for grapes. The family was harvesting cabernet sauvignon back home during his visit. “We have to find the right balance by harvesting at the right maturity. Each year is a little different,” he said. “We have learned to respect Mother Nature. She is the boss and we are the slaves.” We reviewed three cabernet sauvignon

wines during our time together: Emblem (Napa Valley), Animo and M. Emblem is what Mondavi called the “young” cabernet, made a little differently to appeal to younger wine drinkers. It is a blend of cabernet, syrah, petite syrah, zinfandel and petit verdot. Mondavi’s children, Rob Jr. and Dina, collaborated on the Emblem wine line. The Animo, whose name is Italian for “heart” or “spirit,” is a blend of cabernet and petit verdot from the vineyard high up on Atlas Peak. It is said that Dina looked at the land of this vineyard and said, “Dad, this place has animo,” hence the name. The land now contains 15 acres of cabernet sauvignon grown between 1,270 and 1,350 feet elevation. M by Michael Mondavi is also a blend of cabernet and petit verdot. They use cabernet as the foundation, as the wines are mainly this grape (I believe it needs to have 75 percent to be listed as a single varietal). Mondavi called M his flagship wine and said it will age very well, for 20 to 30 years even. This wine is inspired by Bordeaux and Robert Mondavi cabs from the 1960s and ’70s. It is made in limited quantities at fewer than 300 cases. Mondavi said he always thinks about the words of his wife, Isabel, that wine “should be the quiet partner at the table behind people and conversation.” He recommends trying wines with and without food, as this can change the experience. I enjoyed speaking with him and getting just a glimpse into his experience and passion as a winemaker. All three of the Mondavi wines are available in New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet stores. — Stefanie Phillips

Art and war
Terry Farish tours NH with Luis Paints the World Portsmouth writer Terry Farish found inspiration for her April 2016 picture book, Luis Paints the World, from the kids at the Lawrence Public Library, where she used to work as a children’s librarian. The kids there came from a variety of different cultures, and during bilingual storytimes in the children’s room, they would sometimes sing “Naranje dulce,” which is about goodbyes. She remembers one specific boy there who was missing his brother — he was overseas performing military service — but there were many kids experiencing the pain of being separated from a sibling or parent due to deployment. “A large percentage of the volunteer army is made up of immigrants or recent citizens. Lawrence is a city just like Manchester, with a lot of diversity and a lot of immigrants. And that’s why I was seeing this so much in the kids who came in,” said Farish, who recognized and empathized with their experiences. “I was married to a man in the Air Force for many years. We had a daughter together, and I saw how … abandoned kids feel when their fathers leave.” Meet Terry Farish Strawbery Banke Museum Children’s Authors Festival: She’s one of 18 authors at this event, which happens Saturday, Nov. 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Strawbery Banke, 14 Hancock St., Portsmouth, strawberybanke.org Gale Library: 16 S. Main St., Newton, 382-4691, Wednesday, Nov. 9, at 6:30 p.m. Contact: terryfarish.com, communitystoriesnh.org

Farish calls herself a “wannabe journalist;” though many of her books are fictional, they’re based on real stories and experiences. The subjects she’s most interested in are inspired by wartime and immigration — perhaps because one of her first jobs was working for the Red Cross in Vietnam. Her most recent novel, The Beginning or the End of the World, was published in October 2015 and explores the intersections of love and war in a young Cambodian-American girl’s life. Another, The Good Braider, published in 2012, is a free-verse novel about a teen and her family’s journey from war-torn Sudan to Portland, Maine. But for this book, she wanted to explore war from another perspective: that of someone left behind. “[Kids are] like, ‘Why did you leave me?’ Children see it in their own person-
al and emotional worlds. … They don’t understand the context. … That was what I was trying to explore. … How can they help themselves deal with it,” Farish said. “It had to be a picture book because I wanted to tell the story from the point of view of a young child who doesn’t understand war, who doesn’t understand why his brother had to go. [The boy] is only 5 or so, and in the world of children’s literature, the genre is an illustrated book.” Luis Paints the World, set in Lawrence and illustrated by Oliver Dominguez, is about a 5-year-old who deals with his brother’s deployment through art. He paints all the things he did with his brother on the alleyway wall behind his house, and as he awaits his brother’s return, the mural grows, with the help of the people in his bustling Dominican neighborhood. Farish was also inspired by the muralmaking activities happening in Lawrence at
the time, and the kids affected by it. “In one case, they were drawing the world, the globe, and they were seeing themselves as this part of the world. There was such a sense of discovery,” Farish said. Farish visits New Hampshire libraries this fall as part of a nine-week, nine-library project, “Community Stories: Soldiers Home & Away,” and her next is Thursday, Oct. 27, at 4:30 p.m., at the Hampstead Public Library. She’s finding similar community mural stories in other Granite State towns. “As I travel with the book, that has been a part of my journey. I didn’t realize how widespread the art form was, but in almost every town in New Hampshire I go to, I ask about the murals and [the kids] tell me where they are. They connect their town and the art with the town and the mural this small boy creates,” Farish said. — Kelly Sennott

Dan Blakeslee alter ego Dr. Gasp returns The first time Dan Blakeslee played a Halloween song, it came with an apology. “I thought it was so awful, nothing like my other music,” Blakeslee said in a recent interview, referring to the song “Witchtrot Road.” He promised not to do it again, but a friend in the back of the room cheered him on. “He said, ‘I’m gonna put that on vinyl next year’ — and he did.” That was 15 years ago, at Portsmouth’s Press Room, a few days before All Hallow’s Eve. It marked the start of a Blakeslee persona who’s come to haunt October like a friendly ghost: Dr. Gasp. A few more songs followed the first tentative one, and within a few years the masked musician was playing all over New England. From pubs to pumpkin festivals, the musician’s alter ego has become a tradition. Every year, he returns to the Seacoast room where Dr. Gasp was born for a show that’s always a tour highlight. This time around, beloved local band Soggy Po’ Boys will open up and then join Blakeslee. “They are going to back me on horns,” he said. “So it’s going to be a full eight- to 10-piece band.” Blakeslee learned to love the holiday growing up in southern Maine. “My mom helped us make costumes and my dad is a musician — he would blast ’70s Halloween records out the window at kids trick-or-treating,” he said. “I’ve always loved the season and all that it embraces.” Blakeslee is also a graphic artist. His pencil and line drawings are collectors’ items, and he designed beer cans for Vermont brewer The Alchemist’s Heady Topper and Focal Banger IPAs. He creates a new poster every Halloween; before the interview, he’d stopped to hang a few for the show in Portsmouth. He took up music

to have all these … long-time friends carve these jacks and bring them to the show all lit up.” Given that he often performs his ghoulish songs at family-friendly shows, sometimes Blakeslee manages to frighten the little ones. “There have been a few situations where I have had to take off my mask, because I feel like I’m freaking the kids out,” he said. “Every once in a while you’ll have a sobbing child, but it wasn’t that scary. At least I don’t think it was.” Though songs like “Teeth of Candy Corn,” “ROWR” and “Thing Were Odd for Ichabod” have universal appeal, it’s not intentional. “When I write these Halloween songs, I don’t have any age in mind. … It’s whatever comes off the top of my head,” Blakeslee said.“I do have one risque vampire song, and I always ask the parents, ‘Is it OK to play it, even though the kids are here?’ The parents always say, ‘Heck, yes!’ Even if it’s not ‘Wheels on the Bus,’ it really is an allages thing.” — Michael Witthaus

while attending art school in Baltimore and found the two went together well. “When I came out of school, I had an album’s worth of songs and art,” he said. “It’s always been like a split career, and both of them are full time. I’m trying to figure out a way so I’m not overdoing it. ... Even when I take a day off, by the end of the day I’m thinking about art or music. I can’t help it; it’s in my blood and I’m glad!” Irrepressibly upbeat, Blakeslee has a hard time naming a favorite moment in his long run as the region’s ambassador of spooks. “There are so many, but one of the biggest ones that warmed my heart so much was a show at Radio Bean in Burlington [Vermont],” he said. “There weren’t that many people there, when all of a sudden a whole crew of my friends came in with 25 hand-carved jack-o’-lanterns.” They placed the glowing orbs around him on stage; after, he took them to the tour’s next stop. “I realized carved pumpkins can smell pretty awful after they’ve been sitting in your car for a couple of days,” he said. “But I thought that was the most beautiful thing,

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Pot for pets
As nine states next month ask voters to approve some form of legalization of marijuana, a “new customer base” for the product — pets — was highlighted in an October New York Times report. Dogs and cats are struck with maladies similar to those that humans report in cannabis success stories: seizures, inflammation, anxiety, arthritis and other pain and subsequent social withdrawals. The “high”-producing THC element cannot be used because it is notoriously toxic to dogs, but other elements in the drug seem to work well not only for dogs and cats but, by anecdotal evidence, pigs, horses and domesticated wild animals.
Government in action
Kevin and Tammy Jones opened their guns-and-coffee store in an old bank building in Hamilton, Virginia, in August, but despite the controversies about the ease of gun acquisition in America, their Bullets and Beans shop has had a harder time pleasing government regulators over the coffee than over the firearms. Kevin told Washingtonian magazine that there were no problems in getting gun-shop and firearms-instruction permits from state and federal agencies, but several local-government roadblocks delayed the coffee-sales permit: the property being zoned for retail but not food or drinks; permission to open certain businesses near residences; and a coffee shop’s need to have parking.

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin declared Oct. 13 Oilfield Prayer Day to cap a statewide initiative of mass wishing for improved performance of the state’s energy industry, which has been in the doldrums recently with the worldwide drop in oil prices. Though the initiative’s founders, and the associated Oil Patch Chaplains, were largely Baptist church leaders, the governor emphasized that all religions should be praying for a more prosperous industry.
The ball is pitched to the batter but vertically, by a pitcher standing next to the batter, and the batter runs the bases after hitting it, though not counterclockwise but zigzag style, to a base on the left, then one on the right, then back to the left. The game was invented in Finland in 1920 and has achieved minor notoriety, with teams from Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and Australia vying for a “world cup” that so far none has been able to wrest from Finland. (Reassuringly, however, “three strikes” is an out in Finland, too.)
New World order
• Too Much Time on Their Hands: In an October profile of tech developer and startup savant Sam Altman, The New Yorker disclosed that “many people in Silicon Valley have become obsessed with the simulation hypothesis” that “what we experience as reality” is just some dark force’s computer simulation (as in the movie “The Matrix”). “Two tech billionaires,” the magazine reported, are “secretly engag(ing) scientists” to break us out of this alternative universe we might be trapped in. (One prominent member of the tech elite remarked at a Vox Media conference in June on how the “simulation hypothesis” seems to dominate all conversation whenever the elites gather.) • Scientists from England’s Bath University, publishing in a September issue of Nature Communications, report success in creating enduring live mice without use of a fertilized egg. The researchers showed it possible that a sperm cell can “trick” an egg into becoming a full-featured embryo without a
“fertilization” process (in which distinct genomes from sperm and egg were thought to be required, at least in mammals). The scientists were thus able to “challenge nearly two centuries of conventional wisdom.”
Police report
• The War on Drugs: (1) In September, police in Thurmont, Maryland, announced the culmination of a twomonth-long undercover drug operation at the Burger King with two arrests and a total seizure of 5 grams of marijuana and two morphine pills. (2) On Sept. 21, as part of a six-target raid using “militarytype” helicopters by the Massachusetts State Police and the National Guard, drug warriors halted the criminal enterprise of Margaret Holcomb, 81, of Amherst, seizing the one and only marijuana plant in her yard that she had planned to harvest soon for relief of her arthritis and glaucoma. • Couldn’t Stop Myself: (1) Joshua Hunt, 31, was arrested in October inside St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he had gone to check on his 9-month-old son, who was being treated for an injury. Police said that while in the ward, he snatched another visitor’s purse and took a cellphone and credit cards.
