What a perfect Fourth of July weekend — and it showed. Let’s start with the major highway, Route 95. The backup of traffic started on Friday, June 30, and at certain times of the day on SaturLarry Marsolais day was all the way back to Route 495 in Massachusetts.

Route 101 to the beach was stop and go from the 95 off ramp all the way to the beach. Route 1 was backed up all weekend from Hampton to Seabrook and if you think the shortcuts were any better, you’re wrong! Most of us who live here are used to it, and we can find our ways around the traffic.

I did a little research of fun things to do while you are visiting that are locat-

ed within an hour away from Hampton.

There are amusement parks, water parks, family fun centers, mini golf, museums, bowling, arcades and even a zoo. There is a bunch of stuff to do if you want to get away from the busy beach. Just stop in any Chamber of Commerce and pick up a tourist guide book and be on your way.

But while you are here on the Seacoast be sure to stop in and visit some of our great businesses. Use the Scene as a guide for local shopping, dining, sightseeing and much more.

As always feel free to call me anytime at 603-935-5096 to discuss local issues or to place an ad.

Larry Marsolais is the general manager of the Seacoast Scene and the former president of the Hampton Rotary Club.

COMMUNITY

Books and beyond

Hampton library hosts several events in July Although staff members at Hampton’s Lane Memorial Library encourage kids to continue reading on their own throughout the summer, they also offer alternative forms of entertainment to fill the long summertime hours.

Every Wednesday morning in July offers an entertaining children’s activity hosted by the library. These activities will be held at 10 a.m. each Wednesday and they are free and open to Hampton residents as well as tourists in the community.

To kick off the July festivities, Lane Memorial Library hosted a puppet show on July 5 with Carol Sanborn, an expert puppeteer and librarian at Hampton Falls.

Next up, on Wednesday, July 12, kids will have the opportunity to learn the facts about what makes a reptile a reptile and have all of their other reptilian questions answered by representatives from the Boston Museum of Science during the Reptile Show at the library. The reptiles included in the show will all be part of the Museum’s Live Animal Care Center.

The Wednesday event on July 19 will be at the same time in the morning, but it will be hosted at the Centre School in Hampton rather than at the library. This Touch a Truck show will allow kids to see and learn about vehicles like police cars and fire trucks, among other types of trucks.

Lastly, the Wednesday events for July will come to a close on July 26 with a talent show open to all kids. In order to participate, you must call the Children’s Room in the library to register for the event in advance.

According to Wendy Rega, the assistant children’s librarian at the Lane Memorial Library, these events will help to keep children busy while simultaneously encouraging them to read over the summer.

“We want to entertain, we want to put on free events for families in the area, and we do want to bring kids into the library to do some reading over the summer,” Rega said.

Wednesdays are not the only days in July with library-hosted fun in Hampton. Every Friday in July at 10 a.m., Lane Memorial Library will also host a free book giveaway and story time for kids near the Shell Stage at Hampton Beach.

This weekly event will be an all-ages drop-in story time aimed at making reading accessible to kids of different ages and reading levels. In addition to the planned stories, teen volunteers will be at the beach with a cart to give away free paperback books that have been donated by the Friends of the Library program.

“We hope to provide outreach for the SEACOAST SCENE | JULY 6 - 12, 2017 | PAGE 6

Hampton community and for the beach community and provide them with a literacy experience through story time without actually having to come into the library,” Rega said.

A special Friday event hosted by the library will be happening on July 28 when fitness and literacy combine at the One For the Books Fun Run hosted by the Friends of the Library. This event will kick off at 8:30 a.m. at Winnacunnet High School and will consist of a one-mile family fun run. The run is free and open to the public, but participants are asked to register in advance, either online through the library’s Facebook page or by calling the library.

According to Rega, the library hosted this event last year as well and it had a great turnout, so they are trying to successfully promote it again this year.

“We are hosting this to encourage people to get fit and also get families into the library,” Rega said.

In addition to the activities for young children, teens can get involved at the library this summer too through the Teen Services Summer Reading Program. On Tuesday, July 11, teens are invited to participate in the Kindness Rocks Project, in which they will decorate rocks with uplifting messages as part of the Inspiration Garden. Rock-decorating will take place from 3 to 4 p.m.

Teens also have the opportunity to volunteer for Reading Buddies, a library program in which teens read one-on-one with children on Monday afternoons.

These volunteers help children to become better readers through writing stories, playing word games and more.

For adults, there will be craft workshops led by Sandra Golbert, a local fabric artist, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 22, and Saturday, Aug. 5.

Another highly anticipated adult event of the summer is A Visit with Abraham Lincoln, which will occur on Wednesday, July 19, at 6:30 p.m. In this presentation, Steve Wood will come in character

as Abraham Lincoln and will share anecdotes of Lincoln’s visit to New Hampshire in 1860 as well as his stories from the White House.

Lastly, a community-wide event to look forward to in August will be a New Hampshire Astronomical Society Skywatch at North Beach in Hampton. On Aug. 18 at 8:30 p.m., the Astronomical Society will bring their equipment for celestial viewings that will educate the general public.

Fried dough

Blink’s Fry Doe in Hampton Beach has been a fried dough staple of the boardwalk since 1973. With two locations along the boardwalk and an orange paint job that covers the storefront, it is hard to miss the classic Hampton Beach destination.

Teresa Everett has owned and operated Blink’s since 1991 and said the tried-and-true frying process has stayed the same all these years. A full-time dough baker makes the sweetened bread dough from scratch every night, and it’s fried to order the next day.

The fried dough starts off as a quarterpound dough patty with a unique shape.

Blink’s uses a canoe shape instead of the large round carnival-style shape. Everett said this is because it’s easier for the customers to carry while they are walking around at the beach.

The patties are hand pulled into a longer and thinner version of that iconic shape and then dropped into the fryer, which holds several gallons of vegetable oil at 350 degrees. Everett said she can tell when the dough is done, but her employees usually time it for 3 minutes.

With over 20 topping options, Everett said she has seen some interesting flavor combinations.

“I like half cinnamon sugar and butter

and the other half sauce and cheese. It’s kind of like a little meal and dessert,” Everett said.

Other toppings include honey and walnut, blueberry, chocolate and maple.

Everett said the most popular flavor is easily that classic cinnamon and powdered sugar mixture. Butter is not added to the fried dough unless the customer requests it, so the toppings stick to the light grease that remains on the crispy dough.

Because there is no butter, Everett said Blink’s fried dough might just be the most vegan-friendly item on the boardwalk.

Blink’s is located at 115 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton, N.H., and is open every day from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m.

Other places to get fried dough

Happy’s Fried Dough 14 Broadway, Salisbury 978-465-2464 Happy’s Fried Dough is right on the Salisbury Beach mall and just a few steps from the beach. The fried dough has been a beach staple for over 40 years. Happy’s menu also includes other fried foods like corn dogs, German fries and mozzarella sticks. Wash it all down with lemonade or soft-serve ice cream. Take a break from the sun and enjoy your meal inside, or step out into the mall area’s public seating and take a ride on the carousel. Happy’s is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Ozzie’s Fried Dough 15 Broadway, Salisbury Beach Specializing in fried dough, Ozzie’s can satisfy your craving for fried food. Ozzie’s is on the Salisbury Beach mall area right near the beach. It has a menu with burgers, chicken fingers and onion rings. The walkup eatery is good for a quick fried food fix. Get right back to the beach action with their fast food and service. Ozzie’s is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to midnight, and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

If you’re beach-bound and feeling hungry for some crispy fried foods, there’s no shortage of options. From fried chicken and seafood meals with sides of french fries to fried-dough desserts, there’s something for all cravings — savory, salty or sweet.

We talked to eateries along the Seacoast that specialize in fried foods ranging from fried dough to fried seafood, and we listed a few other places where you can get those foods along the beach. If there’s an eatery that you know of along the coast that serves up delicious fried foods, send us an email at editor@seacoastscene.net and we might feature it in an upcoming issue on the Seacoast Eats page.

French fries

Hampton Beach is full of french fry vendors, but one of the businesses that has been around the longest is Boardwalk Fries. It was first located next to the McDonald’s that recently moved, and the original owners were called crazy for trying to compete against the fast-food giant.

The fight paid off, and the quality of their freshly cut fries helped them become a staple at Hampton Beach.

The fries start out as whole New England potatoes that are washed off and then put through a special cutting machine. The potatoes are sliced into long french fry shapes that drop immediately into water to reduce browning and to keep them from being starchy.

The fries are then dried out so the water doesn’t react with the oil. Then they’re dropped into the oil in a process called blanching. The oil is set to 300 degrees, which is hot enough to blanch but not hot enough to fry. According to F.J. Sanchez, a summer cook who has worked at Board-

walk Fires for five years, the blanching process seals in the flavors of the potato.

Sanchez said he has been cooking fries so long he just uses his eyes to tell when they are ready.

With customers coming in all day long on the weekends, Sanchez has to have fries ready to go so they can be cooked fresh to order. After the blanching process, the fries are cooled on a rack, and when customers place an order, the fries go into a final 350-degree frying dip.

Sanchez periodically shakes the fries so that they don’t stick together, and when they’re done they get topped with salt and served with ketchup or vinegar.

Boardwalk Fries are thick and full.

They come in small, medium or large portions, and because they are fried to order they are hot and fluffy right out of the serving window. Boardwalk Fries is at 191 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton, and is open every day from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.

JB’s Seafood opened this past month at Hampton Beach and has a menu full of fried goodness. Traci Schaake, a co-owner of the new restaurant, said what makes JB’s fried food unique is their double batHealthy Alternatives Sue Engle is a dietitian who runs Nutrition Matters in Hampton. She said that fried food is not exactly a healthy option — but because it is so hard to avoid in the summer, she gave us some healthy tips.

“It is absolutely true that we need some fat in each meal. It’s just that if you are talking about a whole plate of fried food it may not be comfortable in the stomach,” Engle said.

Eangle said fried food can be fine in moderation so if you are looking to get your crisp on, just have a little.

For example, Engle suggests that instead of eating a whole meal made from fried food, have only one item in the meal being fried. You could have a salad with a small portion of french fries on the side and still satisfy your crunchy cravings.

In general, Engle said seafood is a healthier fried food option compared to its fatty french fry and chicken companions. Most seafoods items like haddock and calamari are low in fat.

“Fish is already very light, so adding some fat is not as bad,” Engle said.

Eangle said stir fry, which is technically a fried food because it uses the ingredients’ fat to cook the meat and veggies, is a much healthier choice than fried food.

“You could enjoy stir fry every day,” said Engle.

tering process. She said the most popular item is their fried clams.

“Clams, no question about it. Fried clams. It’s New England,” Schaake said.

JB’s uses a premium clam fry dry batter that the clams get tossed in before getting dropped into the frying oil. The batter is made with yellow corn flour, bleached wheat flour and salt. A chef at JB’s hand tosses the seafood in the powdered batter before dipping it in water and battering it up again.

“We double batter everything, so that makes a big difference,” said Schaake.

Their clams are kept fresh in a refrigeration unit next to the fryers so the chef doesn’t have to go far. They are battered and put into soy oil raw. The oil forms a crust on the outside of the meat while the temperature of the process cooks the inside.

The clams can be fried in a minute or less but thicker pieces like haddock or scallops would take longer, according to Schaake.

Schaake said the key to great fried clams is making sure the oil is changed out regularly. She said the difference between low-end and quality fried food is fresh ingredients and fresh oil.

The clams are served fresh and hot with a side of french fries. The crispy doublefried clams have a salty taste that goes well with the tartar sauce on the side.

Schaake is actually allergic to seafood and said the process for making good fried clams was perfected by Jimmy Trainor and Bob Schaake, who started JB’s.

“Jimmy has been in the restaurant business for over 30 years, and by trial and error this is what his best looks like,” said Schaake.

JB’s also serves scallops, haddock, clams, calamari and shrimp. It gets its seafood from local retailers Taylor Lobster in Kittery, Maine, and Dow Seafood in Seabrook.

JB’s is located at 187 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton and is open 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Fried chicken (or something like it)

At Farr’s Famous Chicken in Hampton Beach, that famous chicken looks fried — but it’s not. Instead of frying, they broast it. According to owner and cook Paul Conway, broasting is similar to frying, but the special process sets them apart.

Conway said that instead of an open deep fryer, the oil and the chicken are placed in a compression cooker that applies 100 pounds of pressure in addition to cooking.

The pressure is able to stop the frying oil from cooking into the meat.

“When you take it out, it’s got the look of a fried chicken but it doesn’t absorb the oil, so the inside is nice and juicy,” said Conway.

Under an open fryer, the chicken absorbs more of the oil, which can change the flavor. Conway’s process retains the natural chicken flavoring by not allowing that oil to get into the meat.

Conway uses a premium oil for his chicken called Melfry; it’s more expensive, he said, but does not break down as easily, which also helps to stop the oil from being absorbed.

The broaster is set to 350 degrees and Conway said he could cook up to 25 pieces of chicken at once. The broasting process could take up to 10 minutes. Conway does not want to be compared to KFC and said he would rather have a quality piece of properly cooked chicken than a fast-food option.

Farr’s Famous Chicken has been broasting since it started as the Golden Hen on Lafayette Road in 1977, when Henry Farr opened the business with his wife Golda.

Two years later they opened Farr’s at its current location on Ashworth Avenue and cooked their famous chicken until they retired in 1988. They sold the business to Terry and Laurie Sullivan, who ran the shop until 2005.

14 Ten years later, in 2015, Conway, Laurie Sullivan’s brother-in-law, reopened the business with his wife Judy.

“I said to my wife, ‘The location is open, we ought to bring back Farr’s,’” Conway said.

The broasting process was a staple of the shop from the beginning, so when Conway was looking to re-open, he had to find the specialized machines. A brand new broaster cost about $16,000 and Conway needed three of them. To save on coasts, he found three rebuilt broasters for half the price.

In order to have a leg up on competitors

like KFC, Conway said he makes sure the chicken is cooked fresh and does not stay on a warmer plate for too long. He said that when he sees people coming in the door, he throws chicken in the broaster.

“We want everyone to have their chicken hot, their jo-jos hot and we want you to have a good meal at a reasonable price but we want you to enjoy your chicken too,” said Conway.

A $6 plate of chicken comes with jo-jos and coleslaw. Conway said a recent trend in chicken wings has increased the popularity of his wife Judy’s buffalo sauce.

How to make fried food Ron Boucher owns Chez Boucher Culinary School in Hampton, where he trains industry professionals and novice cooks about the culinary arts.

From September to May, Boucher offers a six-week culinary class that focuses on a different cooking medium each week. Boucher said fried food is definitely on the syllabus and, in fact, one of the four-hour classes is devoted to the crispy phenomenon.

The reason we crave fried food is because of its satiating quality, Boucher said. This means that the food makes us feel full for a longer period of time.

Frying food is considered a moist heat cooking because it uses fat to cook the meat.

“It has a wonderful mouth feel, and fat is flavor. The flavor you are getting from the food kind of stays around a while on the palate,” Boucher said.

Boucher said France would claim to have perfected the technique but said it’s more likely that the English invented frying with their famous fish-and-chips dish.

In New England, we are known for our fried seafood, according to Boucher.

Seafood is typically low in fat. But when the food is covered in batter and dropped in oil, the fat content of the meal increases significantly, which makes most taste buds happy.

“The fat that is picked up during the frying process envelops the full flavor of the protein,” said Boucher.

If you want to try making fried food at home, Boucher said the most important step in the process is monitoring the temperature of the oil. In order to do that you will need a proper cooking vessel, like a mini deep fryer or pot, and a thermometer.

Most home kitchens would not have room for an industrial-size deep fryer so you would use a smaller one, like a FryDaddy, that holds less oil, Boucher said. Because there is less oil, adding meat could more easily reduce the temperature and disturb the process.

When cooking at home you will want to cook in small batches and keep the heat at a constant temperature somewhere between 350 and 375 degrees depending on the protein, Boucher said. The mini fryer would come with a wire basket that holds the meat while cooking. Be sure not to overfill the basket, as it will reduce the temperature of the oil.

Most proteins take under 5 minutes to cook in oil, Boucher said. When the mean is fully coated, let it cool before eating, as the crisp needs to fully hold to the sides of the meat.

Boucher said to dispose of the oil safely as it could burn your skin or cause a fire.

“You’ll never get the recipe,” Judy 16 said.

The buffalo sauce has enough of a bite to qualify as buffalo, but it does not overpower the crispy chicken flavor.

“You still got the hotness but it’s not an overpowering hotness and it’s a little bit sweet too. She’s been making that for years,” said Conway.

Conway was able to retain the original chicken recipes from his sister-in-law, who got them from Henry himself. The restaurant is located at 43 Ashworth Ave., Hampton, and is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

If you love movies but sitting inside a theater is killing your summer vibe — and putting too much of a dent in your wallet — head to Hampton Beach on Monday nights.

Beginning on July 10, the Hampton Beach Village District will host free movies on the beach every Monday night through the end of the summer. The screenings will take place near the Hampton Beach playground, and movies will begin around 7:30 p.m. or whenever it is dark enough.

Beach screenings are not new to Hampton — they have been happening for years, albeit with gradually fancier equipment as the years have progressed. John Kane, marketing director of the Hampton Beach Village District, recalls going down to the island section of the beach with groups of people and watching movies on the beach years ago. Eventually, someone suggested that Hampton host these movies for the kids in the area, and the Monday movie nights were born.

Kane said that for the first few years, the movie nights relied on borrowed equipment and the events were fairly low-key. They originally took place at the top of C Street, but the light and traffic noise became too distracting. The screenings then switched to a location right near the Hampton Beach children’s playground. The number of attendees soared with this change. Now, kids at the playground hear about the movies playing and insist on watching.

“It just grew and grew and grew to the point that there were so many people that we needed a much larger screen,” Kane said. “Our theory was ‘go big or go home’ so now we have an enormous screen.”

In addition to a large screen, organizers of the movie nights have also purchased professional speakers and amplifiers to provide a quality viewing and listening

experience for the crowds of up to 600 people on the beach that gather on Monday nights. Locals and tourists alike look forward to these events as a way to kick off the beginning of the week.

Kane said he receives movie suggestions from a mother in the area who is “tuned in to all the movies that kids like,” and she donates brand new movies for the screenings. When considering movies, Kane said he has to choose movies with scenes that are light in color so that they are conducive to outdoor viewing. He also aims to keep movies appropriate for young children.

A specific movie schedule is not finalized for the summer because of the possibility of rain cancellations, but the movies are posted the Thursday before on the Hampton Beach Facebook page to get people excited before the Monday screening. The most anticipated kids’ movie of the summer is saved for Children’s Week, which typically yields the largest crowd.

Kane also noted that parents and children show up early to these screenings, even before they begin setting up equipment, to spend time together on the beach and socialize before the movies start.

Kane recommends that people bring beach chairs, blankets and popcorn, but some kids get creative and dig holes in the sand to sit in with pillows.

Overall, the organizers of these events hope that attendees are able to create memories and can look back years from now and think about the nights they spent at Hampton watching movies with family and friends.

“These events are a continuation of what we believe and how we promote Hampton — that is to have a fun, family tradition vacation down here,” Kane said. “It’s always family, it’s always fun.”

How long have you been in operation?

I purchased the Inn in the beginning of 2013. We then renovated it and opened back up in April of 2013.

Had you previously owned an inn?

I had a restaurant and bar at Hampton Beach where we had some rooms up above, but nothing like this property. I had never wanted to be an inn owner, to be honest.

Why buy one?

Well, a Realtor came to me and told me about the owner who wanted to get rid of this place. I told him I was not a bed and breakfast person, but he said it could be a restaurant. I decided to check it out and I was pleasantly surprised. It needed work, though, but the interior had been partially renovated and it was warm and inviting.

The interesting thing is that there was a picture on the sun porch and my mother had painted it in 1971. She never sold her work and she had died in 1995. I had never seen this painting. It was very strange.

No one knew how it got there. After that, I saw it as a sign. I made an offer and the rest is history.

That is an incredible story.

We still have the painting and I get chills when I think about it still. She painted oils on velvet and she also painted tin trays with stenciling and gold leaf. She had so much work that it’s been a pleasure to be able to display it in the inn where it looks so beautiful. The space has actually been a great venue for other artists, too. We have multiple art shows each year now — some for charity and some just for the artist to sell their work.

You love art in general?

Yes, it’s always been a passion.

What is your favorite style of art?

I like modern art and sculpture, although landscapes and more representational paintings seem to work best here at the inn, which has given me the chance to appreciate more traditional artwork. We have had many artists’ work shown here, so it has been nice to get to know some of these local artists and their work.

When was this place built?

In the 1860s, but the town does not have historical records of the house. It was part of a bigger resort that burned down at turn

Tracey Dewhurst. Courtesy photo.

of the century. There was nothing between here and the beach. The resort was oceanfront and The Victoria Inn is all that remained.

How long has it been an inn?

It has been running as a bed and breakfast for the last 30 years or so. A lot of people stop by who grew up in the house — it has an incredible history.

How far are you from the ocean?

About half a mile.

How many rooms do you have?

We have seven guest rooms to rent and three are suites. We can accommodate up to 24 people for a wedding in the guest rooms or for any other type of event. It is a beautiful house with lots of charm and original woodwork. The Garden Pavilion can hold up to 150 guests for a wedding and the Main House can hold up to 70 for any type of private party or small wedding.

Do you live on-site?

I do not. We have an innkeeper on site here to greet guests and make breakfast.

What is the biggest challenge running this place?

We only have seven guest rooms, so we have tried to maximize the usage. The challenge is balancing everything when we have guests checking in, a wedding about to take place, or a cooking class going on in the Main House kitchen. I thought the inn had a lot to offer for all kinds of events and activities in addition to the guest rooms, so it’s just about coordinating the multiple things at one time. It’s what I wanted for the Inn — lots of activity — but it is challenging. I have also worked hard to get the community aware that we are here. We host fundraisers and get involved with local charitable organizations, but getting the locals to absorb what we are doing has been a challenge, too.

What’s your favorite part?

It’s always nice to see people happy. The personal interactions are really wonderful.

Seeing everything come together and making people happy — that’s the key to the service industry. I get a kick out of it.

— Rob Levey

How to make running more fun

Friday, July 7

I hear it all the time. Running is “so boring.” Well, I guess that depends on your perspective, but I do see what people are saying. You place one foot in front of the other, over and over and over. The reality, though, is that running is what you make of it. Here are some tips I have found that work for me.

Honestly, this little gadget has transformed my runs, because it enables me to explore neighborhoods and towns and keep tabs on my mileage. Part of the reason running can get boring is because many of us tend to run the same old routes. We know the mileage and so we do not want to deviate.

When you have a GPS watch, though, you can track how far you go down any given route — whether it is a road or trail.

Now, my GPS watch is fairly simple, so all it tracks is the distance I have traversed.

Other watches are able to show you a map of where you have gone, which can prove useful if you end up getting lost.

The key here is that a GPS watch can track where you go and provide you with heart rate information (if it comes with a heart rate monitor) and other data that can make it pretty fun. For instance, you can run against a ghost version of yourself, and the watch will beep if you are too far off your projected or goal pace.

It is really so much fun to run along Route 1A — whether you are in Rye or down past Hampton. From the people on the beach to the sights and sounds of summer, it is very easy to occupy your mind when surrounded by so many stimuli.

There is also something soothing and beautiful about the ocean to your left or right. Time passes by more quickly, while the added benefit of those ocean breezes cannot be overstated. Just be sure to wear a hat or sunblock to protect against the sun. It is very easy to get a sunburn.

Sometimes, it is easy to forget the natural beauty that is the Seacoast. You can always jump into the water and pop back out during your run. I did that one time — and aside from trying to figure out how to get my shoes and socks back on, it was a blast.

Change your running times

It is amazing how different a place can seem when you run at a different time. The sun hits things differently and a route with which you have become familiar can take on a new vibe when you pass through at a different time.

What I do is sometimes run in the early morning and get my run out of the way rather than wait for my customary evening run. It definitely invigorates me and I feel way more accomplished and satisfied with myself if I am all set with my running by, say, 8 a.m.

It really is interesting how the same run can go by faster when you do something differently — and changing the time of day is just about the easiest thing you can do.

At this time of year, however, I would really suggest not running in the middle of the day due to the sun, so opt for either morning or early evening.

Join a running group

If you generally run by yourself, try joining a group. There are many local running groups that are very inclusive, so anyone from all walks of life can feel comfortable.

Runner’s Alley has ongoing groups as does No Finish Line Running. Exeter Area Run Club is another fun group. The important thing with running is to shake up your

routine, and groups can help shift the focus from the run itself to the camaraderie.

You do not need to be an elite runner either, as some people are inclined to think about running groups. Have fun, great conversations and usually a bite to eat or a drink afterward.

Take a break

At some point, it is natural for any routine to feel tired. For me, I sometimes take a week off from running to recharge my batteries. If your runs are really starting to drag, there is nothing wrong with taking a break.

Ultimately, you want to run for life — not just for next week’s race.

Where I went: On a two-hour tour of the Seacoast with a rental car from Joyride Driving based in Exeter What it is: Joyride Driving lets people rent three sports cars for two hours to tour the Seacoast. It’s owned

by Michael Briskie and his wife Clara.

Michael said he wants to give people the experience of being behind the wheel of an intensely fun sports car while witnessing the Seacoast in a whole new way.

For $199 you get a two-hour tour in a Mazda MX5, a Mustang GT and a BMW Z4 split between you and your friends.

The convertible cars are all yours, and you get to switch between them throughout the drive. Sign up for a tour at drivejoyride. com My experience: Our fleet of three cars started their journey off at the Airfield Cafe in North Hampton. The cafe is a special place to start any adventure with its vintage airplane-inspired atmosphere and the occasional takeoff happening on the runway right outside the window.

We walked out to the parking lot and were faced with the enviable choice of the Mazda, the GT or the Z4.

My friend Amy and I chose the White Mazda MX5, code-named the Miata. It was low to the ground and had these stingray curves on its hood that made it look fast just sitting there.

The nicest car I have ever driven was a Volkswagen SUV. And by nice, I mean that it didn’t have a previous owner or two, like every other car I’ve had.

Right when I sat in the driver’s seat I could tell the Miata wanted one thing: to be driven. Its seats were low down and shapely and the most comfortable position was with my hands on the steering wheel.

Michael was in the lead car, and Clara trailed behind us. We all communicated with walkie-talkies so we did not get split up and Michael could give us the occasional direction or occasional joke.

With Amy in the passenger seat we would respond with “roger that” or “ten four.”

The handling of the Miata was playful and smooth. Waiting to get to the curvy roads was exciting because I knew I was going to like the feel of the car around the

corners. I did.

Touring the shore line with the convertible top down was refreshing and Amy and I couldn’t help cranking up the radio.

The car hugged the pavement like hot sunlight and the breeze from the open roof kept us awake and in the moment despite the constant blur of summer green. Even though I was the driver, it was hard not to put both hands in the air and feel the wind.

Then we stopped in a parking lot to take pictures and switch cars. I was sad to see the Miata go but excited to see what was next.

Compared to the Miata, the bright orange Mustang felt like a boat. But all that size came with power.

I felt like a bull in a China shop as we cruised into the pristine streets of Portsmouth. The juxtaposition of all that muscle with all that history was almost scary.

We could tell people were staring at us, and it felt great. Michael took us through some parts of town that I hadn’t seen before. I got to see the historic Wentworth by the Sea for the first time along with harbour views.

Soon, we pulled out of Portsmouth and headed for the highway, where I could finally let out all the power I could feel under the pedal.

“Floor it!” Amy yelled as we merged onto a straightaway.

It was scary how easily we got up to speed. The engine rumbled and pulled us forward in a satisfying display of power.

As we headed toward Durham, we switched to the last and most expensive car, the BMW Z4.

If the Miata was made for fun, the Z4 was made for precision and fun. It felt less like a car and more like a spaceship with a

level of control I didn’t think was possible in a combustion machine.

Luckily, Michael’s curated tour took us through my old UNH campus, where I could show off my sleek ride. Then we went into the most challenging and exciting leg of the tour.

Bay Road, just outside Durham, took us along the edge of the Great Bay and was full of curves, dips and views.

This was by far the best part of the tour and I think it exemplified Michael’s vision. I was driving a beautiful car, seeing parts of the Seacoast I had never seen, and I was doing it all at an amazingly fun pace.

The Z4 was doing all the work, practically leaping over the hills and bounding around the corners. Adrenalin tunnel vision crept in and I had to remind myself to take in the views of the New Hampshire back roads.

We made our way through Newmarket and passed by several wide open fields that made the convertible that much better.

Arriving back at the airfield was bittersweet. It meant it was lunch time but it aso meant I wasn’t going to be able to drive home in one of the unique cars.

Who should try this: Anyone with a license who wants to drive a fun car without having to make serious car payments or explore the coast in a whole new way.

Joyride also offers a full-day tour up in the mountains with views of the White Mountains, Conway, Meredith, Lake Winnipesaukee and the Kancamagus Highway.

If you want an experience you won’t forget, in a car you may not ever otherwise drive, try this one out. Just be prepared to mess your hair up a little.

CAR TALK

The real deal regarding synthetic oil change intervals Dear Car Talk: When I bought my 2011 Toyota Camry, the dealer told me that the synthetic oil didn’t need to be changed so often, say only about every 10,000 miles or

By Ray Magliozzi so. Since I had free service at the dealer initially, I took it there for regular maintenance, and despite what they told me, they kept changing the oil and filter much more frequently than they said was required. I didn’t care, since I wasn’t paying for it. Once my free service visits ran out, I started taking it back to my regular mechanic, who changed the synthetic oil every three months. Since the synthetic oil is more expensive, when my husband asked about this, one of the other guys at the shop told him, “The dealer just wants you to ruin your engine and buy another car!” The head mechanic suggested I could go 5,000-6,000 miles between oil changes, depending on the type of driving. Yet the reminder sticker they put on my windshield is again for 3,000 miles. I pointed out that the mechanic might want us to pay extra, more often, for the more expensive oil changes that aren’t necessary. What’s the real deal with synthetic oil? — Susanne

THE PERFECT

RAINY DAY

The dealer is right. Unless you drive the car extraordinarily hard — like using it as a taxi in Phoenix in the summer — synthetic oil is designed to go about 10,000 miles between changes. Changing synthetic oil every 3,000 miles is far too often.

As mechanics, it takes us a while to catch up with reality. Oil changes used to take place every 1,000 miles. And it took years before mechanics accepted that 3,000 miles between changes was OK. So there’s a lag in acceptance among mechanics that synthetic oils are really far superior to conventional oils.

If you want to be extra safe and err on the side of caution, I’d say you can change your synthetic oil every 7,500 miles, which is the typical service interval for lots of cars anyway. But I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend that most of my customers go 10,000 miles.

While changing it any more frequently than 7,500 won’t harm anything — except your bank account — it’s really not necessary.

So buy a bottle of Wite-Out, Susanne, and keep it in your glove box. And then every time you drive away from an oil change, just change the mileage on the reminder sticker.

Dear Car Talk: I am trying to buy my first car. I decided to save up and pay cash for it. I found a possi-

ON THE COAST BUT

ble car here in town. It is a 2004 Lexus IS 300 with 64,000 miles. What are your thoughts on it? I went to test-drive it, and it drove well.

The only major repairs that I could see in the future would be a new key fob, tires, brakes and some hail and paint repair. — Rafael It’s a nice car, Rafael. In general, Lexus makes good cars. A Lexus with only 64,000 miles on it should have quite a bit of life left.

However, you don’t buy a used car in general — you buy a specific used car. And you don’t know whether it was driven by a little old lady to Gamblers Anonymous on Sundays, or by her 21-year-old grandson, who took it racing three times a week.

So, how do you evaluate a used car? You have a mechanic do it for you.

Sure, if you test-drive a used car and it squeaks and rattles and thumps and smokes down the road, you can determine it’s not the car for you and move on. But if you drive a car for 15 minutes and it “drives well,” there still could be lots of hidden problems.

And you need to be careful right now, because you’ve probably already fallen in love with this car. You haven’t given it a name yet, have you?

If you’re seriously interested in the car, take it to a mechanic that you choose and trust. If you need help finding one, do a

search at mechanicsfiles.com. You’ll have to pay the mechanic for an hour or two of labor, but it’s well worth it.

Ask him to check everything. Have him check the compression, pressure-test the cooling system, look for leaks, check the brakes, the exhaust system, the steering components, the tires, the suspension and anything else he can think of that’s expensive.

Ask him to tell you everything he finds wrong with the car, which of those items are urgent, which can wait, and what the costs are for each repair. Once you have the whole story, you can decide whether you still want to buy the car. Or you can decide if you want to buy it, but at a lower price because of the repairs it needs. And you can use that list of repairs to negotiate a fairer price.

By the way, buying a car with cosmetic damage, like hail and paint damage, is a great way to save money on your first car.

Not only does it decrease the value of the car, but it’s also the kind of repair that can wait indefinitely, or at least until after you bang it up a few more times while you’re learning to drive — which most new drivers do.

But get it to a mechanic first, and make sure the transmission isn’t full of overripe bananas before you fork over your money.

FOOD

AT THE URBAN FARMHOUSE EATERY The Urban Farmhouse Eatery in North Hampton is nearing one year in business. Owner Renee Locke wanted to start a coffee shop that took risks and brought something new to its customers every day. The inviting eatery has more than just coffee on its menu with a selection of chef-inspired dishes that can change daily. Locke said the shop combines earthy farmhouse items with avant garde culinary practices. Try its experimental watermelon and shrimp salad one day and have a classic blueberry pancake the next. The Urban Farmhouse is located at 184 Lafayette Road in North Hampton and is open Tuesday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and weekends from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

How long has the Urban Farmhouse been open on the Seacoast?

We’ve been here just shy of 11 months.

What do you think makes the Urban Farmhouse unique?

Having that creative, chef-inspired type of breakfast items instead of what you might find somewhere else, I think that’s what people like. We use fresh bread; we have a bakery make it for us.

Just those little touches. We try to work with companies that practice sustainabil-

ity and people can taste the difference.

What is your personal favorite dish?

Bacon and brie omelet. It’s creamy, salty and has crisp fresh apples on top.

I have it straight up, the whole-egg omelette.

What dish do you recommend everyone try?

I go with the pastrami Benedict a lot because people love Benedicts and it’s one of those things that people don’t

really want to make at home because it is kind of a pain. We sell a lot of Benedict. And pastrami is something you almost never see. It’s got that nice salty pastrami and that creamy egg yolk and hollandaise sauce.

What is an essential skill when running a restaurant?

You have to love people for sure and you have to love food, they kind of go hand in hand. There has to be a passion there because it’s a lot of hours and

work. It’s a labor of love, getting people excited about trying your food and getting the staff excited about it.

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

I really love it up here. [These are] my people. Everyone has been really receptive to it. I’ve worked in all different cities, but for some reason, the people in this area I relate to very well. [They are] very relaxed, kind people.

Acai bowls While I love going out for a smoothie, the $7+ price tag keeps me from treating myself too often — and now that I’ve discovered acai bowls, I’m having the same problem with those. We have a plethora of juice bars, smoothie spots and coffee shops in New Hampshire that make amazing products, but, on the regular, they are pretty hard on my wallet. I’ve mastered a few smoothie recipes to make going out for them moot but I didn’t even realize do-it-yourself acai bowls were possible.

Acai bowls are very much like smoothies — a pureed fruit blend (along with other bonus items) — but they come with toppings ranging from coconut shavings to granola. Particularly in the summer, they can be quite amazing, filling and refreshing. Depending on where you get them, acai bowls can be sugar-laden and not at all filling. In addition to the high price tag, their nutritional value (or lack

thereof) is another reason to figure out how to make this magic at home. The acai berry is quite good for you when it stands alone. It’s high in antioxidants, fiber and several other nutrients, but some establishments serve it sweetened or in powder form or often mixed with sweetened nut milk. Beware of such substitutes and look for the good stuff.

So, what is the good stuff? The berry itself, unsweetened. From there, it might be mixed with some unsweetened nut milk (like almond), fruit and many other options. Really, the sky is the limit.

Need it to be a filling meal? Add protein.

Want some carbs or crunch? Granola for sure. Craving good fats? Try avocado or peanut butter. It’s wonderfully versatile, and while your favorite smoothie bar may mix it up for you, try my ideas below for a low-cost and high-nutrient-value option.

Winner of the 2012 KBA Award Best US Blues Festival

Most of us know Zac Brown for his music, but he is now part of the wine business as well. This makes sense, as he is the former owner of Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Social Club in Georgia, which closed its doors last year. The site is now Nic & Norman’s, referring to Greg Nicotero and Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead.

Zac Brown is just one of many musicians and celebrities involved in the winemaking business. Some, like Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and the Beckhams, keep their vineyards and wine for personal use only.

Others, like Dave Matthews, Francis Ford Coppola and the band Train, are recognizable on the shelves.

The Z. Alexander Brown wines (there are currently three offerings) are the result of a partnership between John Killebrew, winemaker, and Zac Brown as the proprietor. The wine comes from the northern coast of California, which John calls “some of the finest land in the world for growing grapes,” according to the Z. Alexander Brown website.

I am not sure what the blend on this wine is — I suppose that is why it’s “proprietary” — but I am going to guess that it contains cabernet sauvignon (one of their other wine offerings and a popular grape grown in the area) and possibly some merlot. In any case, I found this wine very pleasant, with fruity aromas and smooth with subtle tannins on the finish. This wine retails for about $15, though you can occasionally find it on sale for less than that. I would recommend it for

POP CULTURE

Dragon Teeth, by Michael Crichton (Harper, 292 pages) Boy, does Dragon Teeth make me miss Michael Crichton. The author of The Andromeda Strain and the Jurassic Park series, among many other books, Crichton certainly knew how to tell a good story. And like any good storyteller, he didn’t let a small thing like his death in 2008 quiet his voice.

Dragon Teeth takes place in 1876. A young, wealthy and brash college student, William Johnson loses a bet and as a result joins a paleontologist professor’s “bone chasing” summer trip out West. Apparently Crichton is one of those guys who never really grew out of the dinosaur phase. We saw this in Jurassic Park, and his love for those overgrown reptiles continues in this book. The research team travels across the United States to encounter warring Indian tribes and an uncivilized sense of lawlessness not often seen by the dignified delegates from the East.

During the trip, Professor Marsh (who never really seemed stable to begin with) becomes paranoid and blames Johnson for collaborating and spying with a rival paleontologist. Marsh abandons Johnson, who has no other option than to join the rival, Cope, and together they unearth a discovery of historic proportion (hint: it looks like a dragon and has big teeth).

If you have a great photo that shows off the cool people, places or things in the communities of Hampton, Rye, Seabrook or Salisbury, send it to the Scene and we could run it in a future issue! Email your photo to editor@ seacoastscene.net, along with a description of the photo and the name of the photographer and then look for it in an upcoming issue of the Seacoast Scene!

Of course, new discoveries are worth a lot of money in the “old west” and soon Johnson and Cope are pursued by a host of wily characters who would be happy to kill for wealth.

As with all of his other books, Crichton quickly draws you in and keeps you turning the page. He works bits of foreshadowing into the text and drops lines like this one very early on to help the reader quickly move forward: “He might have felt differently, had he known that by late summer, she would be informed that her firstborn son was dead.”

Crichton has a very specific approach to his historical fiction. Not just content to tell a story, this author insists that you learn while you’re on the journey.

In Dragon Teeth, we learn about early paleontology, train travel, towns with their own sense of law and order in the far West, and (mis)treatment of Native Americans. He includes historical facts

and even, on occasion historical figures, which all help to draw you into the story accepting its fiction as “possibility.”

“Gambling halls were open around the clock, and provided the major source of revenue to the town. Some indication of the business they did can be judged from the fact that the proprietors paid the city a license ... $600 per year for each table, and each saloon had six to twelve green baize tables going at once.”

Dragon Teeth is a relatively quick read. As you can imagine, someone who wrote for television (ER) is someone who learned how to write dialogue.

In some places in the book there is so much dialog that it actually looks like a script.

But — and here’s the sign of a good writer — it doesn’t read that way.

Instead you “hear” the voices talk in your head while you read the words.

The story becomes very much alive because of the dialog.

This book is not heavy literature. It’s

a great tale by a first-rate storyteller, a guy who understood pacing, plot, dialog and action — an author who contributed much to our imagination and who helps to keep our imagination alive long after he is not.

Published by an author who has been dead for nine years, Dragon Teeth was a work in progress that was later discovered by Crichton’s wife. As a result, there were probably a few hands involved in this novel’s production, but even still, in the end it retains the Crichton stamp of authenticity. There is no doubt who wrote this book. It is pure Crichton. A— Wendy E.N. Thomas Know about something fun going on?

IT’S THE HARD-KNOCK LIFE The Leddy Center for the Performing Arts in Epping hosts its next production, Annie, July 7 through July 23. It’s the 152nd production for the company, now 43 years old, and the fifth time the Gatchells, who own the Leddy Center, have produced it.

“It’s a favorite. Everybody loves Annie. That’s the reason we do it,” said Elaine Gatchell.

The musical is based on the popular Harold Gray comic strip and features music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin and book by Thomas Meehan. The original Broadway production opened in 1977 and ran for nearly six years, setting a record for the Alvin Theatre, now the Neil Simon Theatre.

The Leddy Center is located at 38c Ladd’s Lane, Epping. Shows are July 7 through July 23, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Sundays and two Wednesdays at 2 p.m.. Admission is $20. Call 603-679-2781 or visit leddycenter.org

311 hits Hampton with expansive new album When choosing tracks for the new album Mosaic, members of 311 went all in.

“We didn’t set anything aside,” singer and DJ SA Martinez said. “In the past, we’ve left songs off that really should have been on. ... Our fans become disgruntled, because they hear everything eventually.

This time, we figured, let’s put everything out; take the stress away.”

Mosaic, released June 23 ahead of 311’s Unity Tour, will please fans of the venerable rock-ska-punk band, and then some.

Early standouts included “Perfect Mistake,” a call to the mosh pit, and “Too Much To Think,” an oddly buoyant breakup song.

“I like the whole record,” Martinez said.

“Hardcore fans will gravitate to some songs because that’s the 311 that they know and love, and there’s something for everybody on the album.”

Since the band formed in the early 1990s in Omaha, Nebraska, 311’s music has always been a melting pot of influences in its early days — Bad Brains, Jane’s Addiction, Fishbone and Red Hot Chili Peppers among them. What emerged was a singular sound that more than a few have emulated in ensuing years.

“We just kind of took all these energies and this freshness of sonic-ness that we were loving … and we just added our take to it,” Martinez said. “We were one of the first bands to incorporate more of a reggae aspect into what we were doing; we’d throw a dance hall curve into a rock song or add a little reggae touch here and there, something that we thought was unique and different. We are from the Midwest, but we 311 with New Politics and The Skints When: Friday, July 7, 8 p.m.

were plugged into the currents that were running through the metro areas of the country.”

311 is now based in Los Angeles, recording at The Hive, a studio they purchased in 2000. California beckoned when the band saw it was filling the same hometown venues as national acts.

“We just thought hey, we’re doing this in Omaha ... if we can do it here, we can replicate it,” Martinez said. “That was the springboard; it gave us confidence to venture out.”

They’ve adapted to a changing industry by building their brand in many innovative ways. Among the products bearing the band’s ubiquitous oval logo are the 311 Grassroots Uplifter, a cannabis vape system sold in the four states with legalized marijuana. The band also sponsors and performs on an ocean cruise, now in its fifth year.

The latter endeavor wasn’t embraced immediately.

“311 is ever evolving, but when our management first brought up the idea of doing cruises, we were just, ‘No thanks,’ and on to the next idea,” Martinez said.

They pitched it again a few years later.

“We did it [and] a weird scenario for us, I think,” he said. “None of us had even

been on a cruise ship before. But now, after doing five of them, it’s one of the coolest things that we’ve been a part of. It’s just a floating party of music-lovers.”

Other bands, DJs and comedians join in what Martinez terms “a great musical vacation.”

The annual Unity tour is similar, albeit land-bound. Over the years, 311 has recruited many rising stars to open shows.

New Politics will join in New Hampshire and the rest of the tour’s first leg.

“A buddy of mine who does side projects with me has told me about New Politics for the last three or four years, and that came together recently [when] we did a radio show with them,” Martinez said, adding that 311 is quite charmed when it comes to picking opening acts.

“We’ve just had luck,” he said. “We took out No Doubt, Korn, Deftones, Incubus … the list goes on and on, and we have an amazing fan base. Mostly anything we bring out that we think complements what we do, they take to as well. I think any band that gets in front of our audience has a great chance of making a living at what they do; because our fans are very supportive of new and live music.”

Weird News is forever, but this is my last “News of the Weird” column, as I am now exhausted after almost 30 years in the racket. In this final edition, I remember a few of my favorites. My deep thanks to Andrews McMeel Syndication and to readers, who started me up and kept me going. Y’all take care of yourselves. — Chuck Shepherd (1995) Chesapeake, Virginia, inmate Robert Lee Brock filed a $5 million lawsuit against Robert Lee Brock accusing himself of violating his religious beliefs and his civil rights by getting himself drunk enough that he could not avoid various criminal behaviors. He wrote: “I want to pay myself five million dollars (for this breach of rights), but ask the state to pay it in my behalf since I can’t work and am a ward of the state.” In April, the lawsuit was dismissed.

(2002) The Lane brothers of New York, Mr. Winner Lane, 44, and Mr. Loser Lane, 41 (their actual birth names), were profiled in a July Newsday report made more interesting by the fact that Loser is successful (a police detective in the South Bronx) and Winner is not (a history of petty crimes). A sister said she believes her parents selected “Winner” because their late father was a big baseball fan and “Loser” just to complete the pairing.

(1996) A pre-trial hearing was scheduled for Lamar, Missouri, on Joyce Lehr’s lawsuit against the county for injuries suffered in a 1993 fall in the icy, unplowed parking lot of the local high school. The Carthage Press reported that Lehr claimed damage to nearly

everything in her body. According to her petition: “All the bones, organs, muscles, tendons, tissues, nerves, veins, arteries, ligaments ... discs, cartilages, and the joints of her body were fractured, broken, ruptured, punctured, compressed, dislocated, separated, bruised, contused, narrowed, abrased, lacerated, burned, cut, torn, wrenched, swollen, strained, sprained, inflamed, and infected.”

(1993) In May, Elk River, Minnesota, landlord Todd Plaisted reported that his tenant Kenneth Lane had fled the area, abandoning his rented farmhouse and leaving behind at least 400 tons of used carpeting, at least 10,000 plastic windows from Northwest Airlines planes, and rooms full of sofas, mattresses and washing machines, among other things. Lane told townspeople he ran a “recycling” company, but there was no evidence of sales. A deputy sheriff driving by the farmhouse the year before saw Lane burying carpeting with a tractor and said Lane merely muttered, “I don’t know what to say. You got me. I can’t even make up an excuse.”

(1992) The Philadelphia Inquirer reported in June on the local “Silent Meeting Club,” consisting of several people who gather at various spots around town and make it a point not to speak to each other. Founder John Hudak said his inspiration was his observation that people often feel obligated to talk when they really have nothing to say, such as at parties, and wondered how nice it would be “to have a group of people where you wouldn’t have to talk.”

(1991) In May, Maxcy Dean Filer, 60, of Compton, California, finally passed the California Bar exam. He graduated

from law school in 1966, but had failed the exam in each of his previous 47 tries.

(2004) The New York Times reported in February on a Washington, D.C., man whose love of music led him, in the 1960s, to meticulously hand-make and hand-paint facsimile record album covers of his fantasized music, complete with imagined lyric sheets and liner notes (with some of the “albums” even shrinkwrapped), and, even more incredibly, to hand-make cardboard facsimiles of actual grooved discs to put inside them.

“Mingering Mike,” whom a reporter and two hobbyists tracked down (but who declined to be identified in print), also made real music, on tapes, using his and friends’ voices to simulate instruments.

His 38 imagined “albums” were discovered at a flea market after Mike defaulted on storage-locker fees, and the hobbyists who found them said they were so exactingly done that a major museum would soon feature them.

(1999) From a May police report in The Messenger (Madisonville, Kentucky), concerning two trucks being driven strangely on a rural road: A man would drive one truck 100 yards, stop, walk back to a second truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the first truck, stop, walk back to the first truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the second truck, and so on. According to

police, the man’s brother was passed out drunk in one of the trucks, so the man was driving both trucks home (though the success of such a scheme is better imagined if the driving brother has a high bloodalcohol reading, too, which was the case).

(1988) And, from the very first “News of the Weird” column came good ol’ Hal Warden, the Tennessee 16-year-old who was married at 15 and granted a divorce from his wife, 13. Hal had previously been married at age 12 to a 14-year-old (and fathered children with both), but the first wife divorced Hal because, as she told the judge, “He was acting like a 10-year-old.”

(1994) The New York Daily News reported in April on a cellblock fight between murderers Colin Ferguson and Joel Rifkin at the Nassau County jail.

Reportedly, Ferguson (convicted of six race-related murders on the Long Island Rail Road in 1993) was using a telephone and told Rifkin (a serial killer serving 203 years for nine murders) to be quiet.

According to the Daily News source, Ferguson told Rifkin, “I wiped out six devils (white people), and you only killed women.” Rifkin allegedly responded, “Yeah, but I had more victims.” Ferguson then allegedly ended the brief incident by punching Rifkin in the mouth.

PET OF THE WEEK The New Hampshire SPCA has more than just cats and dogs available for adoption. Trooper is just one of over a dozen homeless horses currently available for adoption at the New Hampshire SPCA. Trooper is handsome 10 year old Thoroughbred gelding. He was brought to the shelter because his people relocated out of the country. He had been ridden and trained in dressage but looks great in a western saddle. He’s easy to work around and is quickly becoming a barn favorite with his sweet personality. He’d be a great addition to your stable. He’s a very nice horse, who just needs a second chance. For more info on adopting a horse or farm animal, please call 603-772-2921 x 124 or visit our adoptable animal page at nhspca.org.
