I would like to share some information with you about the Stratham Fair going on July 20 to July 23. It’s located only about a half hour’s drive from Hampton Beach, making it a great day Larry Marsolais trip for vacationers and beach residents alike.

Established in 1967, the Stratham Fair follows the old traditions of country fairs.

Daily entertainment includes 4-H activities and exhibits, music, magic acts, the Miss Stratham Fair Pageant and more.

This is one of the oldest country fairs in New England. What started out as a 250thanniversary celebration with a lobster bake and some horse-pulling for amusement has grown into a family event that is attended

by over 20,000 people each year. In addition to being a summertime tradition, the fair is a major fundraising event for the Stratham Volunteer Fire Department.

So if you’re looking for something different to do, go to the fair! The cost for adults is $8; ages 6-12 and seniors are $5, and children under 6 are free. The fair is located at Stratham Hill Park, Route 33 in Stratham. On July 20 the gates open at 3 p.m., and from July 21 to July 23 they open at 10 a.m.

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.

Performances in the park

Kids invited to Tuck Field to watch magicians, musicians and more For kids and parents looking for a change of pace, Arts in the Park provides a perfect opportunity to enjoy quality performances without having to buy tickets or go indoors.

Arts in the Park is in full swing, and a variety of shows will happen every Friday through Aug. 11. Each Friday, kids 10 and younger are invited to gather at Tuck Field between 10 and 10:45 a.m. to watch and interact with talented performers.

This summer entertainment series is hosted by the Hampton Parks and Recreation Department. Rene Boudreau, who organizes the event, noted that the series existed before he started his job in Hampton 18 years ago.

“I know that this has always been something that has been put on free for the community,” Boudreau said. “It’s something they do as part of their summer camp as a side activity but the public is welcome to join in too.”

Crowd interaction should be anticipated at the performances, as kids will be pulled up to participate in skits and more with the artists.

“The performances range from magical acts to musical things like sing-alongs for kids, there are a couple of jokester people, and there are puppets too,” Boudreau said.

Boudreau said he was especially excited for a show from magician Darren Yong, a performer based in Boston who has participated in Arts in the Park in previous years and was invited back this year.

Other future performers this summer include Donna Marie the ventriloquist on July 14, Vic ‘N Sticks on July 21, Dylan Tenney the magician on July 28, Judy Pancoast with “Bubble Pop for Sweet Kids” on

Aug. 4 and the Spoof Gabbling Circus to close off the series on Aug. 11.

Pancoast is a Grammy nominee and children’s musician who is looking forward to sharing her original songs with the kids in Hampton.

“I have something very unique among family entertainers in that I have a dance team with me and they dance while I sing and they perform skits and go into the audience for the last 15 minutes of the show and dance with the kids. It’s really fun,” Pancoast said.

Her enthusiasm will certainly rub off on the kids in attendance, especially when they get to witness the dancing alien and dancing princess that are part of her show.

“I like to say I bring the fun wherever I go,” Pancoast said.

Vic ‘N Sticks is a husband-and-wife team that will bring more music to Hampton and encourage the children in the audience to be part of the band. Dylan Tenney will bring some variety to the performances as he unites all the kids through the “universal language of magic.” The performance possibilities at Arts in the Park are wideranging and will keep parents and children alike entertained.

“We’re just glad to be able to offer a pro-

gram where there is good interaction and parents get to spend 45 minutes with their kid that otherwise they may or may not have been able to find something to do with them that day,” Boudreau said.

In addition to providing quality entertainment free of charge, the Arts in the Park series encourages children and members of the community to get out and make use of the land and parks that Hampton offers.

“We want to get kids exposed to this sort of entertainment, this fun stuff,” Boudreau said. “It’s kind of a win-win. They come to the parks and see the show and then sometimes they go over to Kids Kingdom Playground and play around for a while.”

With its picturesque scenery and gorgeous waterways, there may be no place more beautiful than the greater Seacoast — and it looks particularly beautiful from up in the air. Here are a few ways to see the coast from a whole new vantage point.

The helicopter experience

Entering its fifth year in operation and fourth year of providing tours of the Seacoast, Seacoast Helicopters takes between 15 and 20 groups up into the air on an aver-

age day during the weekend.

“We do hot loading on our busiest days where the helicopters keep running between flights,” said president, CEO and founder of Seacoast Helicopters Bruce Cultrera.

“The only time the pilots stop is for lunch and to refuel — sometimes, that takes place at the same time,” he added with a laugh.

“They then go right back at it.”

He said most of their business in the summer results from tourism. During 10

High-flying eats For aviation enthusiasts who would rather stay grounded, there may be no better place to grab a bite to eat than at The Airfield Café in North Hampton. Located right at the edge of Hampton Airfield, the café has been open for 21 years and has become a staple in the Northeast aviation community.

“People are amazed at the décor when they come in,” said owner Scott Aversano.

“There are planes hanging from the ceiling and we have a lot of old aviation pictures all over the walls.”

He said one of his favorite parts about owning the café is when planes are either arriving or about to depart.

“It’s really great to see the kids running to the windows,” said Aversano, who noted they currently share restrooms with Hampton Airfield. “Instructors come in with their students and we get to know all of them. …

Pilots talk to the customers, too. It’s enjoyable for everyone.”

He estimated that about two dozen planes lift off daily from the landing strips — one is grass and the other was recently paved.

“They fly all day long,” he added. “It’s weather-dependent, of course. If there is a lot of wind, they won’t be able to fly. If it is a smaller plane and it is a super-hot day, it won’t fly because the lift is not as good.”

Flights from Hampton Airfield are not restricted to the warmer months either.

“They fly year-round,” he said. “This past winter, they were flying in the afternoon after a blizzard.”

Customers will soon have even better seats

for plane sightings. Aversano said their landlord is going to build a new restaurant for them. The construction project will begin any day.

“Things are looking pretty good,” he said.

“The restaurant will be just in front of where we are currently. It will give us a better view of the runway.”

The new space will be about double the square footage compared to the current restaurant, which will accommodate a larger kitchen and handicapped bathrooms. Thirty-four seats will be added and there will be single-service seating for 11 at a counter.

“We are hoping for next spring,” he said.

“We are looking forward to it.”

Aversano said the secret to their continued success has been to stay true to what has worked for them.

“We expanded 14 years ago, but other than that we still do what we did 21 years ago,” he said. “We added some things to the menu, but that’s it.”

The Airfield Café’s connection with Hampton Airfield goes well beyond its prime location, as staff have the opportunity to go up in the air with a pilot at any point.

“The pilots take them up at no cost,” he said. “Now, the staff can say it is awesome.

It’s a smart move on their part, because we talk them up, too. This is like a family community here at the Airfield.”

Serving breakfast and lunch every day, The Airfield Café is located at 9A Lafayette Road in North Hampton. To view their menu, visit theairfieldcafe.com.

9 the offseason, he said, they get more of a local crowd.

“A lot of people see us flying by,” he said. “We live in the information age, so people see the red helicopter fly by and Google us.”

For those who might be nervous to take a tour in a helicopter, Cultrera said, they take people who are initially anxious up into the air all the time.

“We tell people that we have never had anyone who did not get out of a helicopter without a smile,” he said. “It takes about two minutes and the nervousness goes away. Our pilots instill confidence. They talk to people the whole time.”

He said this nervousness also tends to disappear due to the experience of sensory overload while up in the air.

“You are not just seeing trees go by,”

Another local flight option, Hampton Airfield in North Hampton has served as a major hub of aviation activity on the Seacoast since 1945. According to its website, this local landmark offers a variety of services that range from getting your seaplane rated and aerial advertising to hangar and aircraft rentals.

Hampton Airfield also offers scenic photography flights for those on the lookout for the perfect aerial shot of the Seacoast (call for pricing).

For those interested in learning how to fly, Hampton Airfield provides instruction. Available licenses include Sport Pilot and Private Pilot.

Hampton Airfield offers instruction in several different types of aircraft, including the Cessna 172, Aeronca Champ and Piper Cub. Instruction is $45 per hour and aircraft rental costs vary.

To learn more about Hampton Airfield, which also offers aviation maintenance facilities on the field, visit hamptonairfield.com.

he said. “There are bridges, the Shipyard, lighthouses, beaches, big hotels, forts.

People are so involved looking around that they forget they were nervous.”

He referred to the Seacoast when viewed from inside a helicopter as “eye candy.”

“You have rivers, bays and bridges, The Wentworth, Forts, Hampton Beach and The Nubble,” he said. “It’s amazing how different everything looks from up above.

There’s so much to look at and the terrain is constantly changing.”

In Cultrera’s opinion, a helicopter is the best viewing platform from which to see the Seacoast region.

“It’s sort of like a flying aquarium — you have glass on all sides of you as well as below and above you,” he said. “You are cruising at 1,000 feet the whole time, which keeps you up close and personal with what you are seeing.”

He said the flight is quite different from that of an airplane, too. He likened the sensation of flying in a helicopter to “floating.”

“Helicopters are lifting up from a central point,” he said. “It’s like being pulled along by a rope. It’s very smooth.”

Seacoast Helicopters offers everything from 15-minute adventures to flights that last close to an hour.

Here are the tour options, which start at $69 per person: Portsmouth: 15 minutes includes historic downtown Portsmouth, three bridges, Great Bay and the Naval Shipyard.

Beach: 30 minutes includes all of the above as well as historic Wentworth by the Sea, Hampton Beach and Rye Beach.

Cultrera said is this their most popular tour.

Lighthouse: 45 minutes includes all of the above, four lighthouses and various historical sites, including Fort McClary, Fort Constitution, Fort Stark and 12

Fort Foster.

Isles of Shoals: This tour takes people to all of the above-mentioned locations as well as around the Isles of Shoals and Boon Island.

“You’ll head up in one of our floatequipped helicopters for this tour — it’s amazing,” Cultrera said of the Isles of Shoals tour. “You will fly in absolute comfort and enjoy views of the area you won’t get in any other mode of transport.”

In addition to tours, Seacoast Helicopters provides instruction in flight school as well as chartered flights. Their helicopters also lift and transport external loads.

“We have several FAA licenses that we worked hard to get,” Cultrera said. “We have the same license as Delta and other airline carriers.”

Expressing pride in the growth of Seacoast Helicopters in a relatively short period of time, he said their operation is supported by core principles related to safety.

“We work very hard to remain in compliance with the FAA,” he said. “We want people to have fun and be safe. We are not barnstormers here.”

Cultrera said helicopters are much safer than people realize. Even if an engine fails, a helicopter can still glide — a phenomenon he referred to as “autorotation.”

“If you keep the rotor system spinning, it will provide lift,” he said. “As the helicopter descends, air pushes upward through the main rotor, which turns it. The pilot can then control the descent by flaring the helicopter and actually hover at the end of a flight without the engine even running.”

A pilot himself, Cultrera said safety is first and foremost in every pilot’s mind.

“The pilots that fly here are very expe-

rienced and seasoned,” he said. “Flying is second nature to them — watching all the gauges and instruments and managing the flight with safety as a primary concern is what we are all trained to do.”

Aside from the safety perspective, he said pilots enjoy the tours just as much as the passengers.

“Pilots like people and enjoy interacting with them and the experience itself, too,” he said. “To us as pilots, flying is very much an interactive thing and we enjoy sharing the experience with people, especially those who have never done it before.”

In estimating the percentage of passengers who have never flown at all before taking a tour with them, he guessed it’s about 15 percent.

“It’s hard to believe in this day and age, but that’s about the percentage of people who have never flown in any craft before coming to us,” he said. “I’d say 90 percent of our passengers have never been in a helicopter before. … We know people may be nervous because of all that, so safety is always on our radar.”

Fly by boat

Since 2003, Hampton Beach Parasail and SUP Rental has taken nearly 60,000 people up above the Atlantic Ocean.

“If you’re looking for an amazing summer experience, it’s definitely something to try,” said Natalie Guion, dock office manager and seasonal water sports manager at Hampton Beach Parasail and SUP Rental.

“It’s something a lot of people like to check off their bucket list.”

She said they have a new captain and dive-hand this year, both of whom work hard to “put on a show” for passengers.

“They are doing an amazing job,” she said. “You are not only paying for a parasailing flight in the air, you’re also paying for an hour-long experience — it’s a lot of fun. They will make sure you are having a good time.”

Their boats accommodate up to 12 passengers.

“Flights can handle two or three guests

at one time. The boat ride is about an hour and you are up in the air for about 10 minutes,” she said.

Hampton Beach Parasail has no age restrictions, although a child would need to weigh at least 45 pounds or so.

“We take all shapes, sizes and abilities — we take everyone,” Guion said. “Anyone who wants to go parasailing, we can make it happen. … I’ve seen ages from a 4-year-old to people in their upper 60s. It’s really an experience for everyone. 16

For anyone who has ever wanted to fly an aircraft, you have a one-of-a kind opportunity at Seacoast Helicopters in Portsmouth with its Dream Flight package, which begins with some training.

“It is just about two hours long with the first hour consisting of ground school, which gives people a sense for the aerodynamics, physics and control systems of a helicopter,” said president, CEO and founder of Seacoast Helicopters Bruce Cultrera.

Upon completion of this initial ground training, Dream Flight participants head up in the air with an FAA-certified helicopter flight instructor. The helicopters are equipped with dual controls.

“The instructor has the ability to take control at any moment,” Cultrera said. “It’s very safe.”

He said the Dream Flight packages also serve as an introduction for many who wish to pursue a license at their Flight School.

“The experience can give you a sense as to whether or not this is for you,” said Cultrera, who noted they offer training for those interested in earning private, instrument, commercial, instructor or professional licenses.

“We have a cooperative program with Great Bay Community College where students graduate with an associate’s degree in aviation technology and receive their professional pilot certification as well,” he said. “In just 20 months, people are ready to start their flying career. Flying can be a very lucrative field.”

He said they have also branched out into fixed-wing airplane pilot training. He cited their Cessna 172 as the most popular flight training aircraft in the world.

“Its safety record, forgiving performance and capabilities make it an ideal trainer,” he said.

They also have a Piper Seneca V twinengine aircraft, which allow pilots to obtain their multi-engine rating and complex rating.

“Our trainings are conducted one-on-one with a FAA Certified Flight Instructor,” Cultrera said. “We take the time to learn about your strengths and weaknesses so we can customize your training.”

Cultrera said their Dream Flight packages and instruction is enhanced by the general beauty of the Seacoast region.

“This is a beautiful place — you really can’t go wrong when you head up,” he said.

16 Anyone can do it.”

Noting many families go up together, she also believes parasailing is also a great “first date” activity.

“There’s definitely a thrill factor here that will get your blood pumping,” she said.

Guion said they take passengers through the channel around the jetty, south of Hampton into the ocean and then sometimes as far as three miles offshore. They also take passengers past the rock beach and fly them up above the water there.

While in the air, she said, people see unparalleled views of the ocean and coastline.

“We take you up to 500 feet, 800 feet, or 1,000 feet above the ocean — it’s breathtaking,” said Guion.

For those who may be afraid of heights, she said she still suggests people opt for 1,000 feet, which is the height of choice for approximately 50 percent of participants.

“You might as well go for it,” she said. “We have people who are afraid of heights and pick the 500 feet and when they come down they say they wish they had done the 1,000 feet. Going up is the hard part, but once you’re up there you’re basking in the ocean and you’ll be fine.”

PEOPLE AND PLACES GET TO KNOW

ELLEN GOETHEL EXPLORE THE OCEAN WORLD IN HAMPTON BEACH What is your business all about?

We have an oceanarium on the north side of Hampton Beach. We opened five years ago. I have been doing programs in schools so Explore the Ocean World has been around since 1984. I go all over New England.

What sort of animals do you have in your tanks?

I have a blue lobster, a calico lobster and one with a double claw. I have green sea urchins and sea stars. I have a deep-water purple sun star with 10 arms, mud stars, hermit crabs and sea anemone. All these animals go back into the ocean, too.

How do you get these animals?

I get the animals from commercial fishermen. Some of the deep-water animals are very cool.

What is your biggest challenge?

I have to have a refrigerated tank in my garage. The one here holds 100 gallons and there is one at the oceanarium that holds 150 gallons. I have to pump water from the ocean into barrels in my husband’s truck and then pump them into the tanks. I pump between 100 and 200 gallons each week. I have to get the water, though, at high tide.

The salinity has to be just right or the animals will die. It’s a full-time job and a lot of physical work with carrying things from the piers, too.

Do you see a lot of tourists every summer?

Absolutely. I see a lot of tourists from all over the world. I see a couple thousand people — some spend a few hours here.

When people come by, they get a 25-minute introductory talk followed by time at the touch tanks.

What are the things you talk about?

We talk about whales and sharks. We talk about lobstering. I have a video showing Windows to the Wild from New Hampshire Public Television with my husband’s boat, the Ellen Diane. He is a commercial fisherman.

It must be neat to have your husband also interested in the ocean. How did you meet?

He was working in the research department at the New England Aquarium. I had talked myself into a work study job there and was attending Northeastern University at the time. We met in January of my sophomore year. He left in May to go back to

fishing in Hampton. I followed him here and transferred to UNH. We were engaged in June at Eastman’s Docks in Seabrook and married in November of 1976. We are still married today.

You seem happy.

Yes, we are very happy.

You have kids are that are also lovers of the water?

Yes. One is a tugboat captain with an academic background in aerospace engineering. The other has a Ph.D. in marine science and is working for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Miami. He travels all over the world.

They both went fishing as kids. My youngest fished from the back deck of my husband’s boat. We have deep roots in Hampton.

It must be nice that you all love the ocean.

We all have a real passion for the water.

Fishermen in general have a passion for the ocean. They are great conservationists.

How much fun is it to share this passion with others through the oceanarium?

Seeing the kids’ amazement is terrific. To know they have had this great experience is very rewarding. What gets better than that?

I also get paid for it once in a while. The oceanarium is a labor of love. Once, while in Washington, D.C., I had an adult intern for Sen. Gregg come up to me at a cocktail hour.

He recognized me as “the fish lady.” I know that the more senses people use the more they will retain something, but it was amazing to see that I had made a difference. He had seen me decades ago for just 45 minutes, but it stuck with him. That is very gratifying.

ADVENTURE

By Ethan Hogan Where I went: On a two-hour kayak tour of the Piscataqua River, starting at Portsmouth Kayak in Portsmouth What it is: Portsmouth Kayak Adventures offers guided kayak tours of the Piscataqua River, which is the large body of water that connects the Portsmouth Harbor with the North Atlantic Ocean. It does not look or feel like a river because it opens up into the ocean — making it feel more like a lake because it is so wide and it has several large islands in it.

The tour costs $64 per person with a kayak provided, and the tour guide stops at interesting points to give you nice views and some history of the area. The tour lasts about two hours and you usually do it with a group of people who have also signed up at portsmouthkayak.com or by calling 603-559-1000.

SEACOAST SCENE | JULY 13 - 19, 2017 | PAGE 22

My experience: I signed up for the tour alone and was in a group with a couple who had just moved back to the Seacoast area from Virginia. Valerie, Tony and I were led by our tour guide, Lauren, who is studying at the University of New Hampshire. My two group members had never paddled kayaks before and I had only done it once. Lauren’s kayaking instructions were simple and easy and we were headed out into the water in no time.

Portsmouth Kayak is located right on the water, so we did not need to drive anywhere.

We just hoped in the kayaks and headed out.

After we paddled out of Sagamore Creek, the small inlet that the shop is located in, we came out into the large Piscataqua River. Other boaters on the water were scarce because it was only 10 a.m., but occasionally a boat would pass by as it head out to the ocean or made its way back home.

It was a beautiful day to be outside and the sunlight really set the stage for the tour as it brought the natural surroundings and impressive structures to life. The first stop was the historic Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion at the edge of the water; we stopped paddling and calmly floated past it as Lauren gave us the history.

The house was owned by the last royal governor of the area — meaning he was part of the British Empire. The yellow building had a red roof and a massive anchor that sat on the lawn for tourists to relax by. Lauren’s knowledge of the mansion was enough to pique our interest but not extensive enough to bore us as we gazed at the building and took a break.

Ethan and his paddling partners are ready to go.

Next, we meandered around several large islands. I particularly liked to admire the natural rock structures that seemed to hold the islands’ forests from the edge of the water.

Looking over at the diverse textures of water, rock and earth kept me relaxed as I paddled along. Tony and Valerie spotted a bird drifting on the water and we all guessed at its species before it flew away.

We came back out into the large area of the bay and ahead of us was a small island that Lauren said was our next destination. I was excited at the opportunity to get out and explore one of the islands, and we were all looking for another break.

We pointed our kayaks at the island’s small pebbled beach and ran ashore. Snuff Island was covered in trees that rose up out of a knee-high canopy of blueberry bushes. At the center of the island was a monolithic structure just taller than a man’s height.

Lauren explained that the stone structure was the remnant of a chimney that belonged to a 200-year-old house a fisherman had built on the island. The image of such isolation at the heart of the river’s natural surroundings left me in a daydream as Lauren moved on to point out the Portsmouth Naval prison on the other side of the bay.

The final loop of the journey was around Lady Isle, an island owned by a family and that was only accessible by a large stone bridge that we would paddle under. As we rounded the far end of the island I spotted a fox walking along the edge of the water. It followed our kayaks until stopping at a small rock outcropping, where it seemed to pose as we stared at it.

Our arms were tired as we headed back down Sagamore Creek. Valerie and Tony were talking about buying their own kayaks — and I was thinking about lunch.

Who should try this: Any skill level, even if you have not kayaked before, could do this tour. I recommend it for first-time or new kayakers because you learn to kayak at a slow pace and get to enjoy the surroundings at the same time. For more adventurous kayakers, Portsmouth Kayak also offers full moon, Portsmouth Harbour and yoga-on-the-beach tours.

Q&A’S

We talked to people on the beach and asked them some tough questions...

What would you do if you found out that your wonderful oneyear-old baby was a mix-up at the hospital?

“I would return it for the new edition.

Well, I feel like you can always mold a baby into what you want anyway.”

HRISANTHI LOLI OF SOMERSWORTH, N.H.

If you could go back in time & witness any event in history, what would it be?

“I would be interested in being there when the Acropolis was made. Or I would want to be there in the beginning of time when everything was made.”

If you had to be one age for the rest of your life, what would it be?

“Twenty-six because you can pretty much do anything you want at that point but you’re still not 30!”

LENA TOBIN OF RYE, N.H.

Would you participate in an experimental society on Mars?

“Yes, as long as I knew I was going to come home safe. The journey would be scarier than living there. Mars can’t be that scary. I’d have to battle the Martians if there were any.”

CHRISTINA MULLEN OF WAKEFIELD, MASS.

ZACK CRISAFULLI OF HOLYOKE, MASS.

If you could inhabit the body of anyone for a day, who would it be?

Would you rather have superhero strength or superhuman intelligence?

“I guess Beyonce, because she is queen. I’d go through her wardrobe.”

“Strength because I’m already really smart. But I feel like I would abuse it too much, My brother is really annoying so I would literally be beating up my brother all the time.”

Rest up

Give your body time to recover Getting fit sometimes means you need to take a step back and rest. Yes, resting is part of the equation when it comes to fitness, and it is one of the things most people struggle with the most.

Personally, I struggle with the concept of rest, as there have been some years where I have not missed one day of running for a period of six months. Honestly, that is not a smart move.

Now, I am not a doctor or a fitness coach, but I have talked to enough experts through the years to understand there is a real scientific basis for why we must rest. It is in fact when we rest that our muscles repair themselves and incrementally through the course of time get stronger.

Of course, as we age, we fight the effects of time. Time, it would seem, has other objectives for us that do not necessarily coincide with our own. However, we can age well if we are consistent — and that means building rest into our routine.

Rest does not mean we have to simply sit and relax every third day or something like that. Rather, we can cross-train and work our bodies in other ways that allow our muscles to take a breather.

When I do not run on a particular day, for instance, I will go to the gym and do some squats and work my legs on the machines.

Sometimes I play basketball or grab my mountain bike and ride a simple trail. I might lift weights simply a bit longer than usual. The key is to take a rest from a particular activity every few days.

Listen to your body, too. If you feel shooting pains, for instance, take a day off from everything. If the pains continue, then you should really seek some advice. The idea is that prevention of injury is the absolute most effective way to stay in shape.

Recently, I went out for a 19-miler — and for whatever reason, I hurt my quadriceps.

I struggled for the next week and then shut down my running to some extent for the next two weeks and only ran four times during that period. The result? I feel rested and healthy and have begun my normal routine this week.

The takeaway here is that there is no point whatsoever in hobbling through a workout. It serves no purpose and it in fact exposes you to grave health risks. It is not a function of age either. We have all met a younger adult who constantly seems to be injured, right? He or she is a “warrior” of sorts. Nothing will stop them. Well, that is

short-sighted — and it would be interesting to peek in at such persons in about 20 years.

3 signs you might need some rest

Here are some indicators that suggest you might want to go easy for a few days or take an off day.

1. Elevated resting heart rate: Your body may be experiencing physical or psychological stress.

2. Restless sleep: Poor nights of sleep compromise the major biological functions of your body.

3. You are sick: If your body’s immune system is already struggling, you need to rethink your workout(s) for the day.

Sure, there are other signs you may need some rest, but these are major ones. Other indicators include a poor workout, general irritability, low energy levels and pre-existing injuries.

The bottom line is don’t be “that guy” and run, lift, bike or whatever at all costs.

Take a break, recharge and refuel. You will not only enhance all of your training, but increase your enjoyment as well. After all, we want to get fit for life, right?

CAR TALK

Car’s start-up problem may be as simple as a loose connection Dear Car Talk: Our 2007 Mazda CX-7 recently had its steering pump lock up and burn out the belt.

The belt and pump were replaced, but a week later, the car is startBy Ray Magliozzi ing strangely: When we turn the key, there is a loud and fast clicking sound from the driver’s side under the hood, and the engine doesn’t even attempt to turn over. After a few tries (about 25 seconds’ worth sometimes), the starter will engage, turn over the engine, and the car starts right up. However, while we drive, various warning lights flicker on and off, like the tractioncontrol system and air-bag lights. What is happening that causes the clicking sound? Is it the starter solenoid failing to actuate the starter motor? Or is it something in the electrical system, and my mechanic didn’t do a thorough enough check? — Benjamin When you hear a rapid clicking noise, Benjamin, it’s usually because the starter motor isn’t getting enough current from the battery. You’re hearing the starter motor’s solenoid trying to engage but failing to.

So, it could be a failing battery; it could be a bad alternator that isn’t properly recharging

the battery; or it could be something as simple as a bad connection at the battery. You need to take it back to these guys and have them do a complete test of your charging system. That would include testing the alternator output and load-testing the battery.

Could it be related to steering pump failure? It’s possible. If the belt got really chewed up, some debris could have gotten into the alternator and caused it to fail. But it also could be coincidence. If the battery is on the edge of failing, that could just be due to old age.

Or the whole thing could be explained by your mechanic’s failure to tighten the battery terminal. If he removed the negative terminal from the battery to disconnect the power before doing the repair, and then forgot to retighten it, that would explain everything.

A loose connection would explain why the starter can’t get enough juice sometimes, but then eventually starts right up. It would explain why lights on your dashboard are coming on and off -- as you drive around, the terminal clamp jostles around as you go over bumps.

And best of all, it would cost nothing to fix. Unless you count the price of embarrassment that your mechanic will experience. So ask him to check that first, Benjamin.

Dear Car Talk: My 2017 Toyota Tacoma calls for 33 pounds of air in all four tires. Where I live, during certain times of year, temperatures can range from a high in the 70s to a low in the 20s and back to a high in the 50s, all within two or three days. This makes tire pressure difficult to maintain. My question is: What are the safe high and low limits for tire pressure? I know if I go with 35 psi, I will have a hard ride and better gas mileage. If I go with 29 psi, I will have a softer ride and worse gas mileage. But for safety, when do I need to actually adjust it, in either direction? — Gary It’s always better to go too high than too low with tire pressure, Gary (to a point).

As you say, tire pressure changes along with the outside temperature. For every change of 10 degrees in the outside temperature, tire pressure changes about 1 psi. So if you fill your tires to 33 psi when it’s 75 degrees out, and it drops to 25 degrees at night, your tires will be at 28 psi. That’s too low.

I’ve been told that most tire-pressure monitoring systems warn you when your tire pressure drops by about 10 percent.

For you, 10 percent would be a little less than 30 psi.

Low tire pressure always is more dangerous than high tire pressure. When tires are deflated, more rubber touches the ground, the tires heat up and you’re in danger of a blowout. If you remember the Firestone/Ford Explorer fiasco, the aggravating factors that led to many of those flawed tires exploding were heat (high road temperatures) and low tire pressure.

Higher pressure generally is not dangerous, as long as you stay well below the “maximum inflation pressure.” That number is listed on each sidewall, and is much higher than your “recommended tire pressure” of 33 psi, Gary.

So, in your case, I’d recommend that you put 35 or 36 psi in the tires and just leave it there. You won’t notice any difference in tire wear, handling or braking.

And even if the temperature drops 50 degrees, you’ll still have 30 psi or more, which should keep your “low pressure” warning light turned off.

And if the temperature goes in the other direction, no harm will be done. As you say, at worst you’ll end up with better fuel economy and a slightly firmer butt massage while you drive around, Gary.

FOOD

AT THE BEACH HUT The Beach Hut in Rye (1191 Ocean Boulevard, 603-294-0005) has been open since 2013 and this year the hut has new owners, Matt and Kathryn Castonguay. The couple said they have changed the menu to have a more locally sourced natural approach to beach food. The shop serves Annabelle’s Natural Ice Cream as well as sandwiches, pizza and, new this season, fried fresh seafood boats, fried chicken tenders and onion rings.

Matt talked with the Scene about how he has changed the menu and why he thinks it stands out.

How long has The Beach Hut been open?

This is my first year owning the business and I expanded the menu to have more sandwich options, and I really take pride in the quality of the product that we put out. Our lobster is always fresh. We put a good-size portion in for people and very little mayo so we don’t soak everything in mayo, which is important to me. We also get all our breads fresh daily from an all-natural bread baker, Jessica’s Brick Oven.

What makes The Beach Hut unique?

We are focusing on all New Englandmade products so anything that we put out was made right here in New England. … All of our meats are all natural; there is no nitrites or nitrates in them. We do a homemade lemonade — which we really finally think we have a good recipe that people are loving. We have New England-flavored coffees, which

SEACOAST SCENE | JULY 13 - 19, 2017 | PAGE 34

are brewed flavors, not syrups. So that was something that was important, to not put artificial flavoring in people’s coffee. We make the coffee fresh every day. My family, we try to eat as much all-natural, organic products as possible, so that was something that my wife and I wanted to bring here. We also have retail gift items. Again, all New England-made products — that’s something that we saw Rye was kind of lacking.

What is your personal favorite dish?

Right now, I like the Wallis Sands sandwich, which is made with all-natural turkey, choice of cheese, a roasted red pepper, onions [and] lettuce with honey Dijon mustard. It’s a great sandwich and it’s been very popular.

We also do a roasted sandwich, which is all vegetables like eggplant, roasted red peppers, onions, fresh mozzarella and we roast that and then you can choose what type of bread you want. We have whole wheat, we

have a Parmesan peppercorn, we have an asiago focaccini.

What is a dish that you recommend everyone try?

I think our lobster roll is great; again, we don’t put a lot of mayo in it. We make our homemade tuna salad, which is nice — that is kind of a nice cheaper option for people. We do a nice tuna salad or tuna roll. The beach pizza is great. The slices are great and they fly out of here. Our lemonade. We recently debuted a new recipe for our lemonade, which we think is really good. We’ve gotten some wonderful positive reviews from customers. It’s finding the right balance and one secret ingredient that really adds the flavor, I think, that makes it great.

What is an essential skill when running a restaurant?

That you can handle 12 different things

going on at once — multitasking, I think, is huge. Especially being a new owner, getting employees acquainted with everything, making sure the customers are happy, making sure that we are putting out a quality product also in a timely manner so that people aren’t waiting for a long time.

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

Right across from the beach — you know it’s a great location. The people around here are so nice, people are happy to come here. You see a mixture of locals and tourists, which is nice; we’ve been meeting some great people. My wife and I have four kids.

We love coming up and just going to the beach and being a part of the community and really getting a feel of the Seacoast, so it’s been awesome.

Experience the full scope of what the Seacoast’s craft beer scene has to offer when 7th Settlement Brewery hosts the third annual Seacoast Microbrew Festival on Saturday, July 15, at Henry Law Park, along the Cochecho River bank in Dover.

This year’s fest will feature 20 Seacoast area breweries as well as local food vendors, live music, games and activities.

“It’s a celebration of the growing industry of microbreweries,” event coordinator Kate Sanders said. “It’s meant to highlight the small-barrel breweries and the craftsmen that brew in small batches, as opposed to the large domestic breweries.”

The lineup will include all 17 breweries that participated in last year’s fest as well as three newcomers: Bad Labs Beer Co. of Somersworth, Four Pines Brewing Co. of Hampton and Woodland Farms Brewery of Kittery, Maine.

“It’s a nice opportunity to hit all the breweries you like in one spot and one afternoon, but also to learn about some of the new breweries or even the breweries that have been around for a while that you just never had the chance to hit.”

The breweries will have booths set up throughout two tents. Upon admission, attendees will receive a four-ounce

Fri-Sun, July 28-30

tasting glass to use for unlimited sampling. VIP ticket holders will be granted admission to the festival one hour earlier than the general admission crowd and will receive a Seacoast Microbrew Festival T-shirt.

Each brewery will have two brewmasters or representatives who will serve the samples and talk with tasters about what makes their brews unique.

“The breweries all have a different

specialty and style, so it’s a great opportunity to meet the brewers and learn about their craft and taste some of these special brews that you can find there [at their brewery],” Sanders said.

The breweries will each feature two beers, which may be their flagship varieties or special batches brewed exclusively for the festival. A range of styles will be represented, including IPAs, pale ales, porters and more. Sanders said she also expects there to be a number of sour beers and farmhouse ales this year.

“We’re seeing a huge trend with those,” she said. “I think we’re going to see a lot more of those than we’ve seen in the past.”

In addition to the beers, the festival will feature local restaurants and food trucks selling food, live music by local bands and lawn games and activities like a slipand-slide, giant Jenga and cornhole.

Spice-rubbed pork chops with grilled nectarines At some point every summer, I find myself falling into a grilled foods rut.

I’ve exhausted my recipes for different types of burgers and chicken, and if I see one more hot dog, I’ll scream.

Grilled veggies fall into the same boring dinnertime preparations, and picnic-style side dishes have lost their luster.

But this recipe for spice-rubbed pork chops with grilled nectarines might just make me a believer in the power of the grill once again.

For starters, the spice rub is pantryfriendly. I found the recipe in a magazine and minutes later was combining the ingredients for the rub. Additionally, I think grilled nectarines might be my new favorite food.

I’m usually not a big fan of dry rubs.

I find they typically combine so many ingredients that the flavors of the seasonings get lost and they end up tasting like the spiciest of the ingredients used.

While I was a bit nervous that the same thing was going to happen with this rub, I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of flavor.

The sweetness from the brown sugar came through, along with some saltiness, but neither was outdone by the kick from the cayenne. A pinch of paprika added a bit of smokiness, enhanced once on the grill.

stituting boneless pork chops for bone-in, as that’s what I had in my freezer at the time.

While the rub was a spicy, salty and sweet combination, the grilled nectarines helped temper any heat I couldn’t handle. My husband said the rub had quite the kick to it, but he chose to eat his pork with rice instead of the nectarines. I, on the other hand, found each bite of pork and nectarine to be perfectly paired and not overly spicy or sweet.

Excluding grill time, this recipe took only about 2 minutes to prepare. The smoky flavor of the dry rub was amped up once on the grill, but with simple and sweet sides, this finished meal was next to perfect.

The fact that I had everything I needed for the dry rub in my pantry made the recipe even better in my book, especially as it seems too hot to head to the store most days.

Overall, the spice rub was a delicately balanced blend of flavors that was enhanced by a little time on the grill and pushed to the next level of delicious with a bite of some simple sides.

— Lauren Mifsud Heat grill to medium-high. In a bowl, combine the first four ingredients, 2 teaspoons salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

Rub into pork and let stand about 10 minutes.

Coat nectarines with oil and remaining salt and pepper.

Grill pork chops and nectarines until pork is slightly pink in center, about 4 minutes per side.

Remove from grill and let rest about 5 minutes before serving.

Do we need to say anything else?

For craft beer enthusiasts, beer festivals are extremely close to heaven on earth.

Large-scale tastings provide unparalleled opportunities to explore new breweries and brews, while chatting with the actual brewer in many cases. You can explore your palate by trying entirely new styles and also really zeroing in on the differences within styles you may already be familiar with.

That said, at some larger-scale tastings, such as the New Hampshire Brewers Festival (www.granitestatebrewersassociation. org) in Concord next weekend, the bounty can be overwhelming. There are so many beers and it all looks so good. Look, I know, you want to try them all. But you don’t want to end up drunk. Honestly, maybe you do, but I’m here to suggest that that’s not your best move.

Plan and focus. You do not need to be all that strategic, but you’ll get more out of the event if you can be at least a little bit focused.

Maybe you want to jump into saisons because those are new for you. Or perhaps you want to dive into IPAs. Try to stick to that strategy— at least for a while—and try not to bounce around from style to style too much. It’s not the end of the world, but some beer styles just don’t taste that great back to back. A superhoppy double IPA followed by a blackberry wheat ale might not make your taste buds smile. Think about cleansing the palate with some food between styles. If you like going brewery to brewery sampling all of their offerings, you might ask the brewer if there’s a preferred order.

Take notes? I have never taken “notes” at a beer tasting event, but I have grabbed a If you go: Fourth Annual New Hampshire Brewers Festival The festival features 45 breweries from across New Hampshire pouring more than 100 craft beers.

What’s in My Fridge New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale: A few years after graduating from college, I visited my college friends in Santa Monica and we sat on a beautiful sunny patio and chatted about the college days. And we drank (a lot of) Fat Tire. Fairly new to the region, Fat Tire is easy drinking, with an amber hue and a smooth, slightly sweet finish.

brewery’s card as a signal that I liked its beer or maybe even written down a particular beer I really liked. I’ve also gone to beer tastings, tried a ton of beer, and walked away confused about which beers and breweries I really enjoyed—and let’s just say I’ve regretted that.

Dump beer? Yes and no. Typically, if I’m enjoying the sample, I won’t pour it out. But if not, by all means, dump it. You should give everything a chance, but you’re not going to like everything.

Eat. You’re drinking a lot, even if it doesn’t feel like it because you’re sipping out of a four-ounce cup. You need some substance to keep things steady. And again, I suggest having some food as you shift from one style to another. Take a break, have a snack, and have a conversation about what beers you liked most.

Ask questions. Maybe you don’t care how many times a particular brewer dry-hopped a particular offering. That’s OK. You don’t have to ask the brewer to delve into the nuts and bolts of the brewing process, but perhaps a particular beer has an interesting flavor you can’t put your finger on; so ask. I find brewers—and many individual beers—have interesting stories.

Spotlight: Schilling Pompadour Sometimes you try a beer and it just knocks your socks off. The Pompadour from Resilience Brewing, a side project of Schilling Beer Co. in Littleton, had that effect on me.

I haven’t been this excited about a beer in a long time. This beer was perfection. (I mean it.) Unfiltered, this American pale ale features a nice fruity hoppiness. It looks like the more prevalent “New England style” IPAs that have a juiciness to them, but this is different and not as aggressively hopped, which was fantastic. I wanted to drink more of it—a lot more of it.

New Hampshire’s first Youth Poet Laureate Ella McGrail has a strict schedule when it comes to writing.

The recent Portsmouth High School graduate, who plans to study creative writing at Bard College this fall, tries to get pen to paper every day, whether for her poetry collection or her second fantasy novel.

“My goal is to write three pages a day and edit three pages a day. I started a new novel, though I’m not finished my last one entirely, so I’m trying to give both my equal attention — and of course, pick away at my poetry collection,” McGrail said during a recent phone interview.

New Hampshire Poet Laureate Alice Fogel appointed McGrail to the position with Andrew Fersch (who runs The Penn Program, an alternative school McGrail attended for a year) and the Poetry Society of New Hampshire in April, and McGrail will hold it until Aug. 1. McGrail said she was flabbergasted at the proposition, but friends and family weren’t.

“I’ve always got a pen in my hand and am always trying to push my next book to somebody. I never shut up about writing.

They were certainly pleased and supportive, but not terribly surprised. I was

probably the most surprised out of anybody,” McGrail said.

But now that McGrail has a summer job as a lifeguard and duties as the state’s YPL, it’s harder to squeeze in time to write in her family’s attic library — her favorite place to jot down words. Instead, she makes do with the variety of different notebooks she keeps in different places.

“Wherever there’s a flat surface, I write,” McGrail said. “I don’t believe in writer’s block — I think it’s a myth, an excuse.”

During Pride Week, McGrail lead Teen Beat Night at the Portsmouth Book and Bar. On July 14, she reads at Exeter’s Word Barn with Fogel, and on July 17, she reads poetry on the theme “home” with fellow youth writELLA MCGRAIL ers at RiverRun Bookstore to raise money and awareness for the state’s foster care system.

Several teens were confirmed to read, but she’s looking for more.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn more about what is a very big crisis. There are lots of hopeful and wonderful stories in the state attached to it,” McGrail said.

“I have a couple writing friends I can ask to read [at the event] in a pinch, but I’m trying not to just ask people I know. Part of my position is about getting people to share poetry, and I’m trying not to ask the same people all the time if I can help it.”

Many of her peers are excited about poetry, but some kids struggle getting into it. For them, McGrail advises trying different styles.

“The thing about poetry is it involves

the writer telling the truth in a very raw way. … But if you don’t relate to it, it can be hard to get through,” she said. “It can be hard to get kids in classical types of poetry, but I think slam is such a big genre right now — and I think poetry has a very strong future with my generation thanks to slam poetry.”

“It’s a very flexible position, and I think the next youth laureate should shape it to their own personality and preferences,” McGrail said. “You need to be able to get excited about poetry. … And I think the best way to do that in this position is to be deeply passionate about your own writing.”

POP CULTURE

Al Franken, Giant of the Senate, by Al Franken (Twelve, 396 pages) In the eight years since Sen. Al Franken arrived in Washington, he writes, the question he is asked most often is, “Is being a United States senator as much fun as working on Saturday Night Live?”

He replies that the answer has always been “NO!!! Why would it be?”

He then usually goes on to admit that while it isn’t the most fun job, representing his home state of Minnesota in the Senate is, without a doubt, the best job he’s ever had. In Al Franken, Giant of the Senate, we get to learn all about Franken and his rather circuitous route to the Senate.

From his early days in comedy, when he worked with his best friend Tom Davis as part of a performing team, to his job as writer and sometimes performer at Saturday Night Live, Franken tells of a life filled with magic, intelligence, political satire and laughter. Had he limited this book to his working at SNL and writing movie scripts, I would have been happy and would be right in saying that Franken is an accomplished man.

But put U.S. senator on that resume and, well, now we’re talking about an incredibly accomplished and truly extraordinary person.

Franken tells it all in this memoir, his seventh bestselling book. Using plenty of Want to see your photo in the Scene?

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!

self-deprecating humor, Franken walks us through how he got from a small town in Minnesota to the glitzy stages of Saturday Night Live complete with personal tales of comedic brilliance as well as stories about drugs bad enough to take a few cast members’ lives.

Some of the skits Franken is most proud about working on in his 15 years at SNL are the political ones where the cast tried to do “wellplaced political satire that made the audience laugh and had the virtue of not being stupid.“ It was those skits, those kernels of shaping opinion through political commentary, that first led Franken to a political show on Comedy Central: Indecision ’92 (think early The Daily Show).

It was essentially a running, often sarcastic and humorous commentary on the Republican Convention.

This effort led the way to his book Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations and then to other speaking and entertaining gigs.

It soon became obvious to Franken (who calls himself an open-minded liberal) that the way to get people to change for the better was through political discussion.

And if you could use humor to make your point, so much the better.

Franken writes about being inspired

Senate — it’s a far cry from a live performance in a darkened comedy hall.

And Franken’s justification for his entire political career is that he does it because it is the right thing to do.

In Giant of the Senate Franken is in his element. He uses his sharp wit in order to instruct. It’s clear that he is a teacher at heart (with a big heart).

I’ve long held that although I admire and respect Franken, and even with his probing, targeted questions during recent confirmation hearings, I didn’t think he’d be a good candidate for president.

He’s too funny — he wouldn’t be taken seriously. All they’d have to do is find a picture of him dressed as Stuart Smalley.

He’s just not right.

But after reading this book, I’ve changed my opinion. Franken just might be a formidable presidential candidate.

My only criticism of Giant? The book ends too soon. I would have loved to read Franken’s views on the Comey firing and everything that has since come out about Russian involvement and collusion, but hey, that’s what sequels are made for, right?

A thoroughly enjoyable read, it’s witty and will have you literally laughing out loud while you nod your head in agreement.

A must read for anyone who cares about where our country is heading. A — Wendy E. N. Thomas

stone, who fought for the “poor and disposed, for homeless vets and for people suffering from mental illness.”

“Politics,” Wellstone would say, “is not about power.

Politics is not about money. Politics is not about winning for the sake of winning. Politics is about improvement of people’s lives.”

It was Wellstone’s untimely death in a plane accident and the fact that Franken had been so inspired by him, that made Franken decide to run for the Senate position.

Anyone with even a faint interest in politics will find Franken’s journey fascinating.

Family affair

Two to Lou honors Seacoast musician During his life, Lou Festo was a fixture on the Seacoast music scene. Street Machine, a band he formed out of high school with younger brother Joe, gigged around Newburyport. The two were also in Grand Slam, which played a lot at Frolics in Salisbury Beach; the seaside club hosted everyone from Chubby Checker to Aerosmith before it closed in the late 1990s.

When he was diagnosed with cancer, family and friends organized LouFest in March 2012 to help with medical costs. It would be Festo’s last gig; he performed with Preciphist. In 2006 he produced and played on the hard rockers’ demo CD. He had a studio and helped many bands that way, usually for free.

Festo died a few months later, just 56 years old. LouFest raised a lot of money, most of it ultimately unspent. Lou and his fiancee, Karen Jortberg, discussed the surplus, and agreed it should be used for a scholarship fund. Louis T. Festo Memorial Scholarships are awarded to musician and student athletes, as Festo was a star quarterback at Newburyport High School.

Initially given to members of Lou’s alma mater, the scholarship now includes Timberlane High School in Plaistow in its effort. To date, $9,000 has been awarded to qualifying students. This year, Newbury-

port students Sophie Cates (music) and Brendan Powers (football) and Timberlane’s Thomas MacDougal (football) each received awards.

In 2014, the first Two To Lou concert was held, starring The Fools and several local acts donating time to remember their late friend. Boston’s Barry Goudreau headlined the next year, followed in 2016 by Charlie Farren. The fourth annual show happens July 15, with Jon Butcher Axis, a band that once shared the stage with Grand Slam at Frolics, atop the bill.

The all-day music festival includes Preciphist, Leaving Eden, Blindspot, The Experiment, Adams Needle, Tom Towler Band, Ruben Kincade Project, Max The Dog, Breanne Mullen, David Amato and Casey Clark. There will also be food vendors, craft vendors, a beer tent and rides in the Re/Max Hot Air Balloon.

The event always brings mixed emotions for Joe Festo.

“It is a bittersweet day; somethings I think I don’t know if I want to stay doing this, but that is just a fleeting thought,” he said. “I have gotten comfortable being around his friends, and am actually friends

with some of them.”

There is a connection to this year’s big name, Jon Butcher Axis. Back in the Frolics days, the Festo brothers shared the stage with the Boston-based guitarist, whose act now recreates the Jimi Hendrix Experience in its heyday. “I mentioned it to him, but he didn’t really remember,” Festo said.

Most performers donate their time. Preciphist singer Tim Rand chairs a committee on the Two To Lou board; the nonprofit also sponsors casino night fundraisers

and a battle of the bands, though the latter didn’t happen this year.

“The only bands that get paid are the headlining group,” Festo said. “Other people do it at no cost; actually, we try to get them to sell five tickets. So they do it out of their heart. A lot of the musicians that come know my brother, but not all of the bands. It’s always a little different, and as soon as this one is over we start working on the next one.”

A shared connection to his brother helps Festo through difficult moments at the event. “One of the things I really enjoy is when people start to tell me stories,” he said. “Last year one the guys that I used to drum with in the ’80s said, ‘Hanging around with your brother and playing in the band with him was some of the best years of my life.’ Stories like that are always great to hear. He was very liked by a lot of people.”

Though personnel issues postponed the annual battle of the bands, Festo hopes it will return.

“Last year, high school bands played, we picked a winner, and they played at the festival,” he said. “It’s very rewarding to see the young blood.”

PET OF THE WEEK You may remember Kawaii as a previous pet of the week; well, she’s still here and still looking for a home. Kawaii is nearly 100 pounds of pure love. She’s a six year old Akita mix who was brought to the shelter because of allergies in her previous home. She’s a nice family dog who has lived with children, cats and gets along fine with other calm dogs. She’s perfectly housebroken, walks very nicely on a leash and knows her basic commands. The gentle giant has a huge heart and a huge capacity to love. Kawaii does have a medical condition (a torn ligament in her leg) that would require ongoing veterinary care or surgery. Like all the animals available for adoption at the New Hampshire SPCA Kawaii is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all shots. You can visit Kawaii at the New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham, or call 603-772-2921 or visit nhspca.org for more information.
