A WORD FROM LARRY

Master McGrath’s

Quiet before the tourist season I hope all of you had a fantastic Easter and enjoyed the amazing summer weather!

Right now, you have a golden opportunity to go down the beach and have breakfast, lunch or dinner at Larry Marsolais some amazing restaurants. Why? There is no traffic or crowds to put up with. The beach is part of our community — go down with friends or family and enjoy. I have already done it, and it was very relaxing to have lunch and enjoy the beach while it was quiet.

We have great restaurants at the beach that serve wonderful food, so check them out. The tourist season will be here sooner than you think.

Three Hampton families have loaned family artifacts from the first World War to the Tuck Museum for an exhibit slated for this spring to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the U.S. entrance into World War I. The exhibit has the unique perspective of focusing on WWI through Hampton men and women who served in it.

The exhibit will honor R.N. Jeannette Packard White, who served as a nurse in France. Her Courtesy photo. descendants Lori White Cotter and Nancy Osgood provided photos and information about her.

The exhibit will also honor Lieutenant Harry Newton Elwell. His grandson John Mason provided his grandfather’s WWI trunk containing his uniform and hat, and trench art and photos.

And Corporal Dean Bixby Merrill will be honored. His grandson Dean Merrill provided letters from his grandfather and his hats and medals, as well as photos and trench art.

In addition to inclusion in the WWI exhibit at the Tuck Museum, the memorabilia will be incorporated into a video that will be part of a WWI presentation at the American Legion Hall in Hampton this Nov. 11.

Karen Raynes, vice president of the Hampton Historical Society, of which the Tuck Museum is part, is developing the exhibit and Nov. 11 presentation. She asks that anyone with information about Hampton people and WWI call her at the Tuck Museum at 603-929-0781.

Crimeline for the Hamptons, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting local police departments, will host its second annual Community Shredding Event to raise awareness about identity theft on Saturday, April 22, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the parking lot next to Hampton Police Department on Brown Avenue.

All are welcome to bring non-commercial papers for shredding at no cost, no matter where they reside.

“So many of us have been victims of identity theft in recent years,” said Kiki Evans, chairman of Crimeline for the Hamptons. “This event provides us with an opportunity to clean out old papers that may contain personal information and to keep that data out of the hands of criminals.”

Evans noted that many people feel the need to keep documents that they feel might compromise their own personal

security or the personal security of loved ones whose homes they help to clean out.

Evans referred to elderly relatives who have numerous shopping bags filled with documents that they are uncomfortable throwing away in regular trash because the seniors believe they contain personal information.

“These papers accumulate very quickly, as many of us know,” she said.

Millions of identities have been compromised in public and private-sector data breaches, according to Evans.

Crimeline for the Hamptons is a nonprofit organization that serves the towns of Seabrook, Hampton Falls, Hampton and North Hampton by administering reward money for tips that lead to arrests or indictments through its anonymous tip text line.

Tips can be submitted by visiting www. tipsubmit.com and selecting “Hamptons” as the region, or by texting the word “CRIMES” (274637) with the keyword “Hamptons” and leaving the tip in the message area. Crimeline is on Facebook at facebook.com/hamptoncrimeline.

The group also provides police departments with items they need that are not funded in their budgets, and awards annual scholarships to graduates who plan to pursue careers in criminal justice. Crimeline is supported solely by donations and fundraising.

With technology impacting the ease with which people can access information, you might think public libraries are struggling with relevancy. On the contrary, libraries have not only adapted to evolving technologies, but embraced them — and they have more to offer, too, from clubs and classes to community gathering spaces.

“The library continues to be one of the few places in any community that offers town information, free notary service, free Wi-Fi, public computer use, and other services to all residents regardless of economic status, age, ability, and education,” North Hampton Public Library Director Susan Grant said.

And, according to Seabrook Library Assistant Director Susan Schatvet, advances in technology have actually increased the need for librarians, who are trained to provide access to high-quality information.

“Librarians also help sort through ‘good’ and ‘bad’ information,” she said. “They can help patrons who are not comfortable with technology access employment resources, school assignments and genealogical research.”

Rye Public Library Director Andy Richmond agrees.

“Your public library will always help readers find factual, reliable resources and a variety of quality entertainment in one trusted community outlet,” he said.

Read on to find out what resources the Seacoast area’s libraries have to offer, beyond books.

High-tech services

“It took a while to catch on, but after the 2009 release and subsequent success of the Kindle … ebook circulation has taken hold,” Richmond at Rye Public Library said. “Public libraries have embraced their modern role in allowing for new experiences and providing familiarity with many technologies.”

Schatvet said cardholders at Seabrook Library can access hundreds of ebooks and

audiobooks on their laptops, tablets and smartphones through OverDrive, an app made available through a partnership with the New Hampshire State Library system.

At Lane Memorial Library in Hampton, Director Amanda Reynolds Cooper said patrons can take hundreds of online classes that are taught by qualified instructors in subjects ranging from life and work skills to crafts.

Activities will be included between films. RPL will provide lunch Thursday, and people are invited to bring their own on Friday.

thousands of digital books, audiobooks and magazines with their electronic devices.

RPL also provides books and resources through NHDBC, Richmond said, and they allow patrons to borrow and “demo” e-readers before making a purchase. He cited one practical advantage to borrowing ebooks, too.

“You’ll never forget to return your electronic checkouts — they automatically self-return at their set dates,” he said.

Using many of the technological tools available at other area libraries, including Overdrive and Transparent Language, Grant at North Hampton Public Library cited other resources, including EBSCOhost, an online database.

“EBSCOhost provides access to hundreds of magazines and periodicals and is funded through the New Hampshire State Library,” she said. “It provides literary services, such as Novelist for those who are looking for a good book to read, but also medical and business info resources as well. These are divided into children and adult categories.”

Examples of other free-to-members reference resources at North Hampton Public Library include Value Line for checking on investments and Hoopla for streaming TV shows, movies, music, magazines, comic books, audiobooks and ebooks. Richmond said Hoopla offers availability to resources at all times, which is not possible with NHDBC. He said Hoopla is at the cutting edge of digital rights management, which he referred to as “a new reality of the electronic era.” He said that despite the technological capacity to allow it, not all electronic materials are universally available, as most “check out” as if they were a single item.

“Hoopla sidesteps that limitation with a ‘what you see is what you get’ offering,’” he said. “DRM agreements and conditions are negotiated and legislated almost daily in today’s new publishing reality. Public libraries shield users from the gory details and work hard to get every book matched to its reader.”

Bringing in youth

Libraries are also working diligently to attract and engage younger visitors. At North Hampton Public Library, Youth Librarian Connie Margowsky said it is their mission to help youth patrons develop new literacies in all forms, which include technology.

“We follow current technology trends, and we are diligent to stay aware of the technology-related subject matter being taught in our local schools,” she said. “We stay informed about popular activities among youth, especially social media, fandoms and gaming.”

With that in mind, Margowsky said, they have tailored their programming and collection development based on observations and conversations with young patrons. She

said a mainstay of the library, however, is the continued success of their preschool storytime, which combines reading picture books, music, movement and crafts.

Another program is Minecraft Realms, which provides opportunities for collective building after school.

“For younger children, we offer Legos and games that include technology,” she said. “For children in the middle grades, we have a graphic works after-school book club. The participants are bused directly from school and the club focuses on culture, art and science themes.”

Dumbledore’s Army: An all-ages Harry Potter-related club that meets monthly.

During each of the sessions, the group initially gathers in a circle to go over “current events,” which includes any news about the Harry Potter movie franchise, new books coming out or other tidbits.

“We typically do a Harry Potter-related craft — we’ve made golden snitches, Christmas ornaments, flying keys and handmade wands,” said Houde, RPL assistant director and director of youth services. “We also share a Harry Potter snack. Kids typically dress as students or other characters from the films; one session, we had three Dolores Umbridge kids.”

Movie Marathon Mania: Every summer in August, the youth department holds a Harry Potter movie marathon over two full days in which youth interact with the films. Kids’ “entry fee” is a Harry Potter-related snack to share with the group and they typically dress in costume.

“One year, each time a particular line was spoken, kids had to do a physical activity,” said Houde. “For example, they might do jumping jacks every time Hagrid uttered the phrase, ‘I should not have said that.’ It is a very popular program.”

stop-animation program that’s popular with those who enjoy comic and graphic novels.

“We have the opportunity to borrow and try out new technology through the state library system, which allowed us to offer a 3-D Doodler pen program and a programmable robot program for preschool-aged children,” she said.

A key element to these programs, according to Macalaster, is that they are provided without cost, as is access to their computers and iPads for children.

“Parents without library cards, or new to the area, or visiting for the summer can still attend our programs,” she said.

At Lane Memorial Library, there is an emphasis on diversity in programming for youth. This summer, Teen Librarian and Assistant Director Stacy Mazur said they will offer teens various mini-camps to let them dig deeper into their areas of interest.

“STEMbassadors from UNH will be teaching robotics, hosting a derby…,” she said. “Adulting 101 will cover finance, apartment hunting, leases, cooking, resume writing and job searching. Chez Boucher, TD Bank, and a UNH career counselor will be teaching each of these classes.”

She said they will also offer an art camp that will end with a large community mural designed by their teens.

“We’ll invite everyone in the community to come color it in with sidewalk chalk right in front of the library,” she added.

“We’ll also have a wonderful program for teens to come and learn chords, a bit of music theory and jam out on the ukulele.”

Lisa Houde, RPL assistant director and director of youth services, said diversity is key to their offerings for young people. In Turn the Page Café, the young adult room transforms into a café in which kids learn to create an after-school snack with examples ranging from apple-cheese quesadillas to walking tacos. RPL also has several Harry Potter-themed programs.

“Three kids plotted out the Earth’s travel along the orbit as well as the moon’s orbit around the Earth,” she said. “The ‘sun’ held a flashlight to illustrate why we see the moon in the sky in different shapes.”

At this session, she said, kids also learned about perimeter and circumference and determined how many miles they had traveled around the sun since they were born.

According to Richmond, some opportunities at RPL take teens outside library walls, including an intergenerational iPad training program at the Webster at Rye senior community.

Despite numerous resources available remotely, libraries have increasingly become a place in which the entire community comes to congregate. According to Grant, creating dedicated space for youth at North Hampton Public Library is in fact just as important as providing access to technology. Currently, they are transforming one of their rooms into a “Teen Room.”

“It will become an attractive, flexible space that will be used for a variety of activities,” she explained. “It is an acoustically isolated, visible, teen-friendly area that is a safe ‘third space’ for young people to congregate.”

In this space, she said, teens will have access to computers, lounge and table seating. The room will also house their Young Adult collection and eventually become a Makerspace.

“Older equipment is still in the room that has yet to be relocated or discarded,” she said. “Teens are entranced by what they consider these ‘retro’ technologies and enjoy tinkering with the machines.”

At Seabrook Library, Macalaster said, the hope is that young people will start to take some ownership of their spaces in the library as well as develop programming in which they have an interest.

“They will then tell their friends and everyone will know Seabrook Library is the place

Twenty years ago, the historic Brown Library in Seabrook — now the Seabrook Library — offered public access to one typewriter.

“Today, we have 14 public access computers, two tablets in the Children’s Department, video gaming systems, scanning and faxing services and other technology not even imagined 20 years ago,” Schatvet said.

In 2000, 15,024 print resources were checked out; the number rose to 40,508 in 2016. In 2007 the library began to offer digital downloadable items. In that first year, 24 of these items were checked out.

In 2016, that number was 3,840.

to be,” she said.

At RPL, Richmond said they have formed a number of partnerships with other organizations to create and present relevant on-site adult programming that responds to current events and community concerns. He said community input has been essential.

“We coordinated a cooperative between Seacoast Public Health Network, Rye Emergency Services and other health professionals to host a community conversation on substance abuse,” he said. “It was recorded and has been archived for continued reference.”

He said RPL has also collaborated with Seacoast Science Center in Rye. A recent collaboration included a joint presentation by bestselling author Sy Montgomery.

“A capacity crowd enjoyed this presentation merging literature and biology,” he said.

Referring to libraries as safe havens for “gathering and connection in divisive times,” Richmond said they are offering a five-week meditation series and “a poetry interlude” by local poet Mimi White.

“We also have an interactive opportunity that will offer viewing as well as the opportunity to add to a community-created Tibetan prayer flag,” he said.

According to Grant, the variety of on-site programming available at all local libraries underscores the notion that their actual physical spaces are as important as ever.

“People still come to the library for programs, workshops and story time, and to use the public internet computers, Wi-Fi and study spaces,” she said. “We average about 1,690 people visiting the library per month, which averages to about 80 people a day.”

She said North Hampton Public Library also provides rooms for groups — 329 meetings were held there in 2016.

“The library has become a central gathering place for all ages in the community and not just a place to find a book to read,” Grant said.

PEOPLE AND PLACES GET TO KNOW...KIDS

ETHAN JONES EMBRACING THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME For years, New Heights has offered a variety of out-of-school opportunities for youth throughout the Seacoast, which attracted Hampton Falls resident Ethan Jones when he found out about their Costa Rica trip two years ago. For him, it represented the trip of a lifetime.

“I really liked the focus on agriculture and how important it is to their livelihood,” said Jones, who is currently a junior at Winnacunnet High School. “We planted trees at a farm. We pressed sugar cane and ground coffee. I loved the food, too.

I brought home hot sauces and coffee because they were so much better than anything we have here.”

He said the summer trip was also memorable in that it was the first time he had traveled outside the country without his family.

“I had to step up to the plate for everything,” he said. “I came home knowing how to think and do things for myself without relying on other people. … New Heights definitely gave me the confidence to look further away from home than I ever would have.”

New Heights’ Sally Gregory, who helped facilitate the expedition, said one of the best parts about having Ethan on the trip was his unbridled enthusiasm.

“He showed up with a big smile and embraced every bit of the trip from the getgo,” she said. “He sat in the front of our Costa Rican shuttle bus to work on using his Spanish with the driver. He loved the sites and scenes and natural beauty of Costa Rica. He played with kids at an elementary school until they ran him ragged.”

Noting she was also impressed at the fact that Ethan only knew a couple of the kids prior to the trip, Gregory said his maturity during the trip was beyond his years.

“He was such an amazing group member,” she added. “All of us, students and instructors alike, benefited from his presence.”

According to his mother, Annie Bryan, Ethan benefited from his trip, too.

“When Ethan came back from Costa Rica, I would say Ethan was definitely more proactive with what he needed and where he needed to be,” she said. “New Heights has really done a great job year after year offering programs that vary so much that there’s really something for everyone. Any chance for kids to test their boundaries and interests is invaluable to their growth process.”

As for other interests, Jones said he enjoys playing baseball, soccer and lacrosse. He noted that sports are a big part of his life.

“I will play club sports in college, I’m sure,” he said.

In looking ahead at where he might like to attend college, he acknowledged he is not entirely sure.

“I’m still figuring out where I want to be geographically and what I want to study, so I’ve been doing a lot of college trips,” he said.

In terms of possible academic subjects or careers, he said he tends to gravitate toward business-oriented subjects. He said he imagines he will enter into marketing, advertising or entrepreneurship, although he is undecided as of now.

“I’m still figuring that all out, too,” he said with a laugh.

i e r ns B ' O

What do you do?

I work in all kinds of mediums: silver, copper, gold, tile, ceramic, glass and wood.

My focus is on wood, though, and I specialize in salvaging and restoring antique lumber and other building materials. I work with homeowners and commercial businesses.

How long have you been in operation?

About eight years as a business, but I’ve been doing this sort of stuff since I was 18 years old, so about 23 years now.

General Store

How did you get into this line of work?

My family used to always have Yankee swaps, so the rule is that you had to have something homemade. I always made refurbished pieces — a butcher block or candle holders, for example. Over the years, my projects increased in complexity and people started to tell me I should do this as a career and get paid. I tended to focus on creating rustic-looking pieces.

From that point, things took off.

Groceries | Sundries Freshly Made Pizza Full Deli | Beer & Wine Fine Cigars | Cigarettes

We Deliver 7 Days!

What were you doing before you started your business?

I was mainly framing houses.

What were your first sort of creative projects?

I did a lot of reclaimed American flags, a lot of signage, scrolled cut-out letters and wall art.

SEACOAST SCENE | APRIL 20 - 26, 2017 | PAGE 18

What do you mean by American flags?

I used to take reclaimed fence materi-

als that places were either not going to use or throw away, and I would hand paint the American flag on them. I recently just sold 250 of them to Home Goods. I turned into a flag factory.

Is there anything that connects all your projects together?

A lot of customers today want farm tables, for instance, but I like to put a Lynchpin spin on it to make it unique.

There is never one table that is alike, or a birdhouse, or other creation. I try to use my surroundings and use local materials — every piece I make has a story behind it. I collect a lot of my antique wood from Portsmouth. Customers love these stories.

I sometimes will create new cabinets for a project, but my stuff is mainly creativity with history.

Any interesting current projects?

Definitely. I am working on a 150-yearold redwood rough-hewn slab for a table for a customer in South Hampton. They [got] engaged in the redwood forests and they always had a dream to have a redwood table to hand down through the generations. They bought a piece from a company in California, but it had been sitting there for a year.

They went to Four Pines Brewery and saw the bar top I had created for them and they loved it. They asked the owner who did it and he contacted me.

What does your work entail on the project?

I got it delivered last week and it will

take about 45 man-hours. I’ve sanded it a number of times, filled it, sanded it some more. I’ve already done two pours on it and will add a third pour to create a glass finish top. It’s been an incredible project — I may never have another like it. It’s been a great working relationship with the customer.

What are the dimensions on the table?

It is 12 feet long by 5 feet wide by 4 inches thick. It weighs about 1,000 pounds so we will have a moving company move it. We want to be very careful.

How did you pick the name of your business?

My grandmother died eight years ago, and my father gave the eulogy and talked about her being the lynchpin of the family — it stuck with me. That’s how I view myself with these projects. I’m the pin that holds all parts of every project together. I make sure that each piece that goes out is tight and solid. I hold everything together like my grandmother held our family together.

What do you love the most about what you do?

I become one with the wood. I bring it back to life. It is so self-gratifying, and to see the impact it has on others is incredible. I love what I am doing. Each project is unique and each project leaves a lasting impression on people.

There is now a facility right here in Portsmouth, New Hampshire that offers healing and hope without taking additional medications. You no longer need to suffer with nerve pain!

Nerve damage and pain is primarily caused by a lack of blood flow and nutrients to the nerves in the hands, feet, and back. When these nerves begin to “die”, they cause burning, balance problems, discomfort, numbness and tingling. Regardless of what you have been told, neuropathy is often reversible. The National Institutes of Health (part of the U.S Department of Health and Human Services) recently released this breakthrough statement. “Peripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate as long as the underlying nerve cell has not been killed.”

The Center for Functional Medicine & Wellbeing has been successfully helping our patients reverse neuropathy for over a decade using a Functional Medicine model.

By getting to the root cause of neuropathy/nerve pain, our patients are routinely able to reduce and/or eliminate the need for medications.

Our leading edge, FDA approved technologies rejuvenate and heal nerves by increasing blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients back to your cells to restore function and stop pain. We empower you, your cells and nerves to optimize health.

Recovery is possible. Our patients tell us they no longer have numbness, or burning.

They sleep better, walk further and enjoy life more.

Your personalized treatment plan is based on a detailed non-invasive neurological and vascular exam. Give us a call today to see if you are a candidate for this care.

CAR TALK

Why it’s best to get two tires replaced when you get a flat Dear Car Talk: I have a 2015 BMW X3 equipped with runflat tires. I was told that I have “7s” on the front and “9s” on the back.

However, I recently got a flat tire on one of my

By Ray Magliozzi rear 9 tires. So I bought a brand-new tire and put it on the front, along with the other 9 that used to be on the back.

Then I put the two 7s on the back. Now I’m told that the new tire is bigger than the old 9 and it will screw up my all-wheel-drive system. So I intentionally deflated the new tire a little bit (29 psi, compared with the recommended 30 psi) and inflated the other 9 (to 32 psi, compared with the recommended 30 psi), and I kept the rear 7s 35 psi, as recommended. The purpose is to make the new tire a little smaller, so that it’s the same diameter as the 9. Is this a good approach? — Chen No. I don’t recommend toying around with tire inflation, because it can compromise both safety and handling. And it’s not a very effective method of diameter control.

Let’s start with the basics, Chen. When a mechanic measures your tire and says it’s a 9, he’s not talking about how sexy it is. It means that you have 9/32 inch of tread left.

Most tires start out with about 12/32. When you get to 2 or 3, you’ll see the tire’s wear bars, which means the tire is ready to become a swing. But in reality, most people want to replace their tires before they get that worn.

Studies show that stopping distances are much longer on wet roads when tread depth gets below about 4/32. And performance on snowy roads degrades below 5/32. And since you bought an all-wheel-drive vehicle, Chen, I’m guessing that weather is an issue where you live. That means those 7s are already getting near the end of their useful lives.

Add to that the fact that you are endangering your all-wheel-drive system by using tires of different sizes. Your X3, like most all-wheel-drive vehicles, has a center differential. That allows all four wheels to turn at different speeds (which they must do) when the car is turning.

But if you have different size tires on the car, the wheels will always be turning at different speeds, adding lots of wear and tear to the differential. And center differentials are expensive, so you don’t want to risk yours unnecessarily.

So what do you do now? Well, manufacturers have different recommendations about how similar tires should be to one another (check your own owner’s manual). But most

suggest a tread difference of no more than 2/32 or 3/32 inch. So if you’ve got two 7s and a 12, you’ve got a problem, Chen.

One solution is to simply keep the new tire you bought, and buy three more. That’s expensive, because you still have some useful life on the three tires you’d be throwing away. But that’s the best option from a mechanical point of view.

Another option is to have that new tire “shaved” to match its axle-mate. That involves taking a perfectly good, new tire, and paying a tire store $30 to turn it into a tire with 15,000 miles on it. Most people resist that idea because it seems wasteful.

But when you compare that with the cost of three more new tires, shaving or matching the new tire may be the way to go. Then you’d have two 9s up front and two 7s in the back. Not ideal, but acceptable to most manufacturers.

Dear Car Talk: We have a 2009 Honda Odyssey LX. At 90,000 miles, we changed the timing belt and water pump before a cross-country trip. Mistake. On the interstate, driving on the way to the Black Hills, the car lost power for a few seconds, half recovered and then died.

It was as if we had run out of gas, but there

were two to four gallons left in the tank. We rolled to a stop, turned it off, turned it back on and drove 10 miles to the next gas station, where we filled it up, and it was fine. A day later, the same thing happened near Little Big Horn. Three months later, same thing in Idaho. And then two more times since then over the past year. It’s always when it has less than a quarter of a tank of gas in it, and it’s always when traveling at or near highway speed. And it always restarts right away. Two Honda dealers couldn’t find anything wrong.

What should we do? — John This sounds like a classic case of a fuel pump going bad. When the fuel pump is weak, it’s most likely to misbehave when it’s hot and been running for a long time, and when the demand for fuel is greatest. When is that? When you’re on a long highway trip, climbing a mountain, and it’s midsummer.

Have your shop put a pressure tester on your fuel pump. I’m pretty sure it’ll be below spec, and a new fuel pump will be the answer. And, by the way, changing the timing belt and water pump before that big trip was not a mistake at all. In fact, if you hadn’t changed the timing belt, you’d probably be writing us from Little Big Horn to ask how much you should pay for a new engine.

FOOD

AT THE AIRFIELD CAFÉ Whether you’re craving breakfast or lunch, The Airfield Café (9A Lafayette Road, North Hampton, 603-964-1654, theairfieldcafe.com) is the place to suit your needs. This airplane-themed restaurant is open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and serves both meals no matter the hour. The dining space features the classic style of early airplane designs. The Cafe serves comfort food, from crepes and Belgian waffles to chili burgers and chicken tenders. Seafood is available all year long, including shrimp, scallops, haddock, crab cakes and the House Lobster Roll. The Seacoast Scene got to chat with Scott Aversano about what makes the Airfield Café take off.

How long has the restaurant been around?

We opened July 2, 1996 — approaching our 21st anniversary this summer.

How did you get started with this restaurant?

The owner of the airfield had started the café, and a family friend connected us and we took off! Our father, Joseph Aversano, Theresa Aversano, Stacey Aversano and myself started working together. We started out with plastic plates and a kitchen that was built into the dining room, and we have expanded to now having a fully functional kitchen. To this day, we’re all still

working together, over 20 years later.

How would you describe your dining environment?

We are a family restaurant, of course.

We keep the place in a very relaxed atmosphere with outdoor seating and views of the runway, so you can watch the airplanes take off and land. When you cross the tracks, it’s like going back in time. We can accommodate children with a toy box and kids’ coloring sheets, too. We have aviation memorabilia to catch the eyes of the young and the old, with Piper Cubs and biplanes to keep anyone entertained.

What’s your favorite item from the menu?

My personal favorite on our menu is the eggs Benedict with corned beef hash. It’s a classic and never gets old.

Are there any favorites among your customers?

Our omelets are a favorite because you can pick as many items as you want in the omelets. You can pick however many eggs you’d like in the omelet as well, with a variety of cheeses, meats and vegetables.

The omelets come with hash or home fries on the side, and toast.

Who would you most like to serve and what would you serve them?

I would love to get to serve my late parents. I’d probably feed them French toast with mozzarella cheese, because it was Dad’s signature meal when we were growing up. He would make it for dinner for us as kids and it was a special treat.

How would you describe your crew of employees?

Our staff is very friendly and they all have a great time working together. Like I mentioned earlier, we are all family, and we’re always willing to help each other and our guests. Our staff is what makes it special.

What’s an important skill that keeps the café running smoothly?

Our best skill is being good to everyone that we work with. They’re a great group of people.

Do you have any specials that people can look forward to in the summer?

We don’t really do many specials. We do some specials to see what we should add to our menu, but our lobster roll is definitely a summer favorite. The cinnamon streusel French toast is also a favorite for breakfast.

DAVE’S GARAGE

Chefs throw down with delicious dinners Three chefs go head to head at Seaglass Restaurant The last of three Chef Throwdown events at the Seaglass Restaurant and Lounge in Salisbury is happening Thursday, April 20, with a Pacific Asian theme. “[We] came up with what we thought would be the best cuisine themes that are approachable not only for the chefs involved but also for the guests,” Executive Chef Harley Smith said.

They chose broad themes so each chef — Smith and sous chefs Daniel Gomes and Lucas Di Benedetto — would have the freedom to create a unique course without the risk of creating a dish similar to their competitors’.

The first Chef Throwdown took place on March 9 and included Mediterraneanthemed dishes such as Irish smoked clam chowder, squid ink linguini ala carbonara, and seafood risotto a la verde. Each of the three courses is paired with a wine that complements the dish.

“We seated the guests on the south side of the restaurant where along the windows is a great ocean view. We set up the tables family-style and the courses were served one at a time. Everyone had a great time,” said Kathy Aiello, the director of Atlantic Hospitality Group and coordinator of the Chef Throwdown events. “It’s a fun element thrown in when people are there for a common reason, but they’re all part of the same experience.

So it’s just really nice to see the conversation and the laughter and also the commentary on the food.”

Aiello described the inspiration for the Chef Throwdown events, “We were looking to do something fun and different for our guests during the off Where: Seaglass Restaurant and Lounge, 4 Ocean Front N, Salisbury When: Thursday, April 20, at 6:30 p.m.

season,” she said. “The three chefs work together as a team under [Smith’s] guidance by putting together new menu items, our specials, our seasonal features. This was an opportunity to have them come up with dishes on their own, compete against each other for fun, and have the guests vote on what was their favorite course in the threecourse Chef Throwdown.”

After the three courses are finished and the guests cast their ballot for their favorite dish, a winner among the three chefs is chosen. Though he came in last at the March 9 event, Smith was happy “because it gives those guys who don’t get to be in the spotlight that much a sense of purpose and the feeling that they’re just as good. Nothing makes me feel better than seeing somebody else — the underdog, so to speak — getting the chance to rise.”

The Le Cordon Bleu graduate has been an executive chef for 14 years and has 24 years of experience in the culinary industry. Going on his fifth year with Seaglass, Smith also serves as the executive chef among all establishments under Atlantic Hospitality Group and oversees the menu development.

He described the Seaglass menu as a melt-

ing pot of cuisines inspired by the various cultures of the kitchen staff as well as the ever-changing culinary trends.

“I like to integrate a lot of my experiences into the menu to come up with some fresh and creative new ideas while also looking at trends,” Smith said.

The staff at Seaglass is always looking for new ideas to give their guests the best experience.

“We’re not happy just being a restaurant,” Aiello said. “We’re happier being a restaurant that is innovative, looking at trends, and just doing things that are fresh and different and that we believe our guests will enjoy.”

Aiello and Smith encourage people to join the next Chef Throwdown and be on the lookout for more events at Seaglass.

“It’s a great opportunity to come in and get a chance to meet the chefs and experience food that they put a lot of thought, time and energy into,” Aiello said.

To join the next Chef Throwdown, call Seaglass Restaurant and Lounge at 978-4625800 and make a reservation through the hostess. For more information and a look at the entire Chef Throwdown menu, visit seaglassoceanside.com. — Nicole Kenney

What kind of wine drinker are you?

We all encounter different types of wine drinkers in our travels, whether we meet them at wineries, during events or at social gatherings. Some are fun to be around, but some are just plain annoying. Wine Folly has created names for specific kinds of wine drinkers; here’s my take on some of them, as well as some tips for how to deal with the more egregious types.

The Luddite

This wine drinker probably says things like “back in the day” and “before there were screw caps.” This wine drinker likes things the old way, the way they were before boxed wine and plastic cups. They drink mostly French, Italian or Portuguese wines — the oldest ones with real corks only. Anything new is silly to them and isn’t real wine.

I have one of these of sorts in my family. Most of the wine I like is no good to him and so I have pretty much given up suggesting anything. However, he has pretty good taste so there is always good wine around at Christmas.

I’ve found that the best way to socialize with the Luddite is to learn what you can. If they have brought nice wine, try it, ask them about it and just enjoy their good taste.

The Tried and True

This wine drinker will probably never venture from their favorite wine, no matter how much you try. They don’t even look at the wine list at a restaurant. Instead, they just stick with the same old, same old wine.

The best thing to do is let these wine drinkers enjoy what they like. Who are we The Local This one is exactly as it sounds: a fan of to judge, even if they think white zinfandel all things local. Anything else just won’t is real wine?! suffice. Whether it is one region they stick to or their own state, you cannot convince The Lush Some may argue these wine drinkers are them that anything else is just as good.

While I am a huge fan of local products the best kind because they will drink almost like New Hampshire wines, I also have anything and are a wine enthusiast’s best appreciation for other wine regions around friend. They will applaud rather than critthe globe. This type of wine drinker misses icize your wine choices. They will also be out on wines outside a small circle. the ones encouraging you to order one more Like the Luddite, this wine drinker may bottle.

The Cynic This wine drinker is too busy being critical to really ever drink wine. This is kind The Hoarder of like a Luddite who never actually drinks Are these people really hoarders or are any wine but instead tells you why the wine they collectors? These wine drinkers like to you brought isn’t good enough. purchase wine by the case and are always Unless you can figure out what this per- willing to open another bottle. They are son actually likes, I think the best thing great wine friends to have because they like to do is get away from this wine drinker to share and may have something really because this person is a total buzzkill. good hanging around in their wine cellars.

You may have to agree with whatever they’re saying just to keep them quiet. It’s just easier that way.

Art for two seasons

“Spring into Summer” with Hampton Arts Network All of the art in the Hampton Arts Network’s latest show, “Spring into Summer,” features things like flowers, lighthouses, seacoast scenes and marshes — images that fit into a “springy or summery” theme, said Peg Duffin, chairperson of the show.

“Spring into Summer” is now open and runs through June 30. Guests can visit the displays at the Provident Bank on Lafayette Road in Hampton during regular bank hours. Admission is free, and all the art at the event is for sale by each of the six artists.

Duffin, Roseann Meserve, Jeni Bogmore and Linda Gebhart will all display watercolor paintings at the show. Additionally, the display will include acrylics

by Jody Mueller and thematic photography by Bev Tabet.

Duffin said she’s particularly happy about the location of the display in Hampton.

“I’m excited because the seacoast is full of talented artists, from Portsmouth to Newburyport, and we were able to get six members from Hampton to display their work,” Duffin said. “So we’re happy that we get to show off our artists within our community of Hampton specifically.”

Many of the artists have already established themselves in other ways in the Hampton community. For example, Jody Mueller owns her own paint-and-sip business and teaches painting classes at local libraries.

One of the paintings that Mueller will have on display is titled “Zoe at the Beach,”

“Robin’s Daisies” by Roseann Meserve.

depicting an ocean view and a young girl.

Two of Roseann Meserve’s works on display are “Robin’s Daisies” and “Five Chimneys,” a giclee print of flowers and a portrayal of the path to a school house, respectively.

Duffin’s display will reflect her personal love for art and the seacoast. She shared that her work will include watercol-

or depictions of things like seaside scenes, boathouses and flowers.

“I’ve been painting for over 20 years,” Duffin said. “I started out painting when I moved to the seacoast back in 1990 and I’ve been painting ever since. I’ve painted with several of the local artists and a couple of international artists. My love is watercolor.”

“Zoe at the Beach” by Jody Mueller.

“Spring into Summer” was the brainchild of Duffin and Linda Gebhart, who is the president of the Hampton Arts Network. For the months of January, February and March, the Network organizes a student show with awards at Provident Bank, and they were asked to find a way to fill the bank with art for April, May and June as well. Gebhart said that last spring she and Duffin collaborated and put together a two-woman show. This year they are excited to include other members in the show. The women solicited participants through a call to artists in the organization’s newsletter.

“We are hoping to expose more artwork in our membership,” Gebhart said. “We are always looking for venues for art. … It’s just another opportunity to let people know that there are a lot of talented artists in the area.”

The Hampton Arts Network is moving into its sixth year and currently has more than 60 members.

Gebhart said she hopes the show will help promote the mission of the Hampton Arts Network which is “to enrich, promote and support the arts in the Hampton area by providing art-related events and education opportunities making the arts accessible to all ages, and nurturing community partnerships in the arts.”

The Network will be hosting its annual “Art in Bloom” event in June at the Partridge House. — Rebecca Walker

A hundred pages into The Lost City of the Monkey God, and anyone who sits at a desk for a living will start questioning her life choices.

While corporate America calculates and files and types, there is someone right now earning a paycheck by tramping around a Mesoamerican rain forest, interacting with curious tapirs and taking photos that would ensure virility on social media. Douglas Preston is one of those seemingly enviable people, but don’t worry — by the time you near the end of his new book, you’ll be appreciating your day job again.

A novelist who has also written for National Geographic, Smithsonian and other chronicles of natural history, Preston has traveled to exhilarating places, but at a cost he makes clear in The Lost City of the Monkey God. The book is the long version of a short version that’s been told elsewhere, of how in 2015 a team led by a documentary filmmaker was able to accomplish what others have tried and failed to do over centuries: uncover the truth about Ciudad Blanca, or the White City, a legendary ruin in a region of Honduras called La Mosquitia.

Yeah. Not exactly the name of a place you’d want to go to on your honeymoon.

Mosquitoes, however, are but the start of it. The eastern tip of Honduras, inaccessible to anyone not carrying a machete, is a thick jungle that teems with vipers and jaguars, and, as Preston and half his team find out, something else equally deadly, though surprisingly so: sand flies that carry a skineating disease.

The journey is not for the faint of heart, nor the devoid of technology. Finding the remains of the ancient civilization, known to locals as the “Lost City of the Monkey God,” appeared impossible until the development of lidar, light detection and ranging, a technology that uses lasers to map territory from an aircraft. By using lidar in 2012, Preston’s team was able to do something previous treasure-hunters and archeologists couldn’t: locate with precision areas concealed in a thick forest that appeared to have once been inhabited by humans.

This is something that New Englander Theodore Morde could have used when he tried to find the White City in 1940. Morde, a flashy journalist from New Bedford, Massachusetts, made worldwide headlines after he returned from a four-month

expedition to Honduras and announced that he had found the lost city in an area rich with gold, silver and platinum deposits. Fourteen years later he killed himself, having never returned to the site or revealed its location. The journey fueled popular interest in the legend, making it somewhat of a holy grail for archeologists.

Preston solved this anterior mystery last year when he obtained copies of Morde’s journals and discovered that the whole thing had been a hoax. How he came to learn this — and what Morde was actually doing in Honduras — is one of the interesting sub-plots of the story, as is the role a Boston fruit company founded in 1885 played in the complicated history of Honduras. (It’s also connected to the origin of the phrase “banana republic.”)

Preston’s account of how Americans came to be enthralled with an ancient city whose existence was still very much in doubt is engrossing, but slows to dullness on occasion with the intricacies of Honduras political history. The dialogue he offers — while no doubt authentic, given the generous dosing of expletives — feels stilted at times, even cringeworthy, as when someone tells Preston not to reveal something they said, and he not only includes it, but includes their requests not to print it.

For all the celebration over the team’s findings, some people will wonder why so much money and time was spent (and lives nearly lost) to find some crude statuary and moss-encrusted broken pots. It’s clearly a win for Honduras, which has gained an unknown chapter of its history and new lure for tourists, thanks to a cadre of intrepid Americans. Archeology as a profession benefits as well.

For most of us, however, the lone benefit is this story, which catapults the reader into an almost unfathomable past and a present that is equally hard to conceive.

Like hacking one’s way through the world’s deepest jungle, reading this book requires some mental effort to keep up if you’re not a student of Central America or archeology. But it is a worthy antidote to the silly survival reality shows, the Naked and Afraids, in which beautiful people endure temporary hardships so they can be famous. Getting to what’s now called La Ciudad del Jaguar — the City of the Jaguar — required not only clothes but snake gaiters, and the stories Preston tells are not salacious, but important.

NITE

In the pocket

Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket lays down a groove When the 10-piece force of nature called Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket moves into high gear, funk washes over the room like a wave.

The last time the Boston band played Portsmouth’s Press Room, an energized crowd wouldn’t let them leave, from the moment they stepped on stage.

“It filled up fast and they were ready to rage, they wanted to dance,” Ryan Green, guitarist and band co-founder said in a recent phone interview. “We tried to take a set break, and they were screaming, ‘No, one more!’ That’s the spot, it seems to me.”

Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket is a groovedrenched melding of soulful singing from front woman Kobi, hip-hop rhymer Micah Casey, a big horn section and crackling playing, held down by a thick, juicy beat delivered by drummer Dave Share and bassist Joe Cesarz. One listen is all it takes to understand what they’re about: bringing the party.

There is confusion around the origin of the band’s name, however.

“I’m glad to correct the record,” Green said. “It’s not a physical bucket, and it’s got nothing to do with being dirty, or old.”

Rather, it comes from the musical state of being in the pocket or, as Green explained, “the space between the beat and the backbeat.” The band began in early 2009, when Green and Share started jamming together and inviting different bass players to join in. Whenever they hit a particularly satisfying groove, the two would talk it up.

“We said, ‘Make it big and dirty, a big dirty bucket.’ For Dave and I, that came to mean when we wanted a big fat pocket,” Green said. “One day, we were jamming out and said, ‘That’s a big old dirty bucket!’ Then we said it would be a great band name. Maybe it is, I don’t know.”

Along with being misunderstood, the name’s often misrepresented.

“It gets butchered a lot on marquees,” Green said. “I’ve seen Ye Olde Dirty Bucket, like it’s an old English title. One of the best is Big Dirty Burkhas.”

The band’s musical blend of funk, jazz, rock and hip-hop elements reflects its members’ varied backgrounds.

“It’s always been about the horns and the funk, but we’re really not a pure funk band,” Green said. “A lot of people came to the band with no real history of funk. They Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket Where: The Press Room, 70 Daniel St., Portsmouth When: Friday, April 21, 9 p.m.

knew P-Funk and Tower of Power, but they listened to classic rock and jazz, so they bring a unique flavor.”

BODB’s rhythm section is another story, Green insisted.

“The bassist and drummer are steeped in funk, which is all that really matters,” he said. “If they’re funky, everything else works. The horn section can come in after playing Barry Manilow in the lobby of the Marriott in Charlestown. They read charts and like funk, so it works.”

Green’s own journey into the genre is an interesting story. As a teenager in the early 1990s, hearing Mike McCready solo on “Alive” made him lust for a Fender Stratocaster, but he also loved the emerging rap scene.

“I found funk in reverse order through hip-hop,” he said. “Dr. Dre, Snoop, Cypress Hill, NWA — these guys were all sampling old soul beats and old funk beats from the 1970s that my generation, especially my white generation, never heard on the radio until rap made it famous.”

Looking to soak up every style he could find, Green collected a lot of compilation CDs. “I thought, I’m a guitar player, I should buy everything,” he said. “I heard P-Funk’s ‘Mothership Connection’ on one disc and thought, ‘Wait, they stole that from Dre!’ I was confused; I had no cultural or chronological reference.”

Soon, he was going deeper, and becoming a disciple.

“I remember Cameo’s ‘Candy’ was another one,” he said. “I loved those fat bass lines and that swanky guitar going on in those beats, so I dove into funk head-on when I was 17 or 18 and haven’t looked back since.”

Now it’s an all-day-and-all-night obsession.

“It’s got swagger, that 4/4 dance beat, pealing organs, there’s just something about it,” he said. “You can go to the grocery store and listen to Rihanna and bob your head, but if you have James Brown or Funkadelic on, you’re the baddest mofo in that Shaw’s parking lot.”

Adult Super Store HUGE SELECTION New Items Added Weekly

Comfortable, Relaxed Adult Shopping

Samuel West announced in April that his Museum of Failure will open in Helsingborg, Sweden, in June, to commemorate innovation missteps that might serve as inspiration for future successes. Among the initial exhibits: coffee-infused Coca-Cola; the Bic “For Her” pen (because women’s handwriting needs are surely unique); the Twitter Peek (a 2009 device that does nothing except send and receive tweets and with a screen only 25 characters wide); and Harley-Davidson’s 1990s line of colognes (in retrospect as appealing, said West, as “oil and gas fumes”). (West’s is only the latest attempt to immortalize failure with a “museum.” Previous attempts, such as those in 2007 and 2014, apparently failed.)

• Toronto, Ontario, Superior Court Justice Alex Pazaratz finally ridded his docket of the maddening, freeloading couple that had quibbled incessantly about each other’s “harassments.” Neither Noora Abdulaali, 32, nor her now-ex-husband, Kadhim Salih, 43, had worked a day in the five years since they immigrated from Iraq, having almost immediately gone on disability benefits and begun exploiting Legal Aid Toronto in their many attempts to one-up each other with restraining orders. Approving the couple’s settlement in March, Judge Pazaratz added, “The next time anyone at Legal Aid Ontario tells you they’re short of money, don’t believe it. ... Not if they’re funding cases like this.”

• In May, a new restaurant-disclosure regulation mandated by the Affordable Care Act is scheduled to kick in, requiring eateries (except small chains and independents) to post calorie counts for all menu items including “variations” which a Domino’s Pizza executive said meant, for his company, “34 million” calorie listings. The executive called the regulation, for the pizza industry, “a 20thcentury approach to a 21st-century question,” since for many establishments, orders increasingly arrive online or by phone.

Redneck chronicles

(1) Dennis Smith, 65, was arrested in Senoia, Georgia, and charged with stealing dirt from the elderly widow of the man Smith said had given him permission to take it. Smith, a “dirt broker,” had taken more than 180 dump-truck loads. (2) New for Valentine’s Day from the SayItWithBeef. com company: a bouquet of beef jerky slices, formed to resemble a dozen full-petaled roses ($59). Also available: daisies. Chief selling point: Flowers die quickly, but jerky is forever.

• Hipsters on the Rise: (1) The Columbia Room bar in Washington, D.C., recently introduced the “In Search of Time Past” cock-

SEACOAST SCENE | APRIL 20 - 26, 2017 | PAGE 38

tail splashed with a tincture of old, musty books. Management vacuum-sealed pages with grapeseed oil, then “fat-washed” them with a “neutral high-proof” spirit, and added a vintage sherry, mushroom cordial and eucalyptus. (2) The California reggae rock band Slightly Stoopid recently produced a vinyl record that was “smokable,” according to Billboard magazine using a “super resinous variety of hashish” mastered at the Los Angeles studio Capsule Labs. The first two versions’ sound quality disappointed and were apparently quickly smoked, but a third is in production.

• The telephone “area” code in the tony English city of Bath (01225) is different than that of adjacent Radstock (01761) and probably better explained by landline telephone infrastructure than a legal boundary. But a Bath councilwoman said in April that she is dealing with complaints by 10 new residents who paid high-end prices for their homes only to find that they came with the 01761 code.

Admitted one Bath resident, “I do consider my phone number to be part of my identity.”

Weird science

Magnificent Evolvers: (1) Human populations in Chile’s Atacama desert have apparently developed a tolerance for arsenic 100 times as powerful as the World Health Organization’s maximum safe level (according to recent research by University of Chile scientists). (2) While 80 percent of Ameri-

cans age 45 or older have calcium-cluttered blood veins (atherosclerosis), about 80 percent of Bolivian Tsimane hunter-gatherers in the Amazon have clean veins, according to an April report in The Lancet. (Keys for having “the healthiest hearts in the world”: walk a lot and eat monkey, wild pig and piranha.)

Awesome: (1) University of Basel biologists writing in the journal Science of Nature in March calculated that the global population of spiders consumes at least 400 million tons of prey yearly about as much, by weight, as the total of meat and fish consumed by all humans. (2) University of Utah researchers trained surveillance cameras on dead animals in a local desert to study scavenger behavior and were apparently astonished to witness the disappearances of two bait cows. Over the course of five days, according to the biologists’ recent journal article, two different badgers, working around the clock for days, had dug adjacent holes and completely buried the cows (for storage and/or to keep the carcasses from competitors).

News You Can Use: A study published in the journal Endocrinology in March suggested that “whole-body” vibration may be just as effective as regular “exercise.” (The Fine Print: Vibration was shown only to aid “global bone formation,” which is not as useful for some people as weight loss, which was not studied, and the study was conducted on mice.)

PET OF THE WEEK This stunning blonde with eyes as soft as her fur is Molly May. This 6-year-old lovable lab is beautiful on the inside, too. Molly May is a total sweetheart. She came to us because her people said they did not have time for her. She’s a happy-go-lucky girl who loves to go on walks and be with people. She doesn’t like other animals, however, so she needs to go to a dog-free and cat-free home. If there are children in the home, they should be at least teen-aged. She has been at the shelter for a few months being treated for heartworm disease.

She is now healthy and ready to find a new home and a new beginning.

Looking to have only one special animal in your home? Look Molly May’s way. Like all the animals available for adoption at the New Hampshire SPCA, Molly May is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all her vaccines. Visit Molly May and other adoptable animals at the New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham, or call 7722921 or visit nhspca.org.
