The Granite State Street Rodders host events in Rochester on the second Saturday of every month from May to September, with upcoming cruise nights on Aug. 12 and Sept.

9. These cruise nights take place at the Rochester Community Center from 5 to 8 p.m.

According to Pete Adams, an event organizer, participants do not have to register their cars in advance for cruise nights. They can simply show up with their cars and donate a couple dollars to be part of the night. All participants receive a goody bag with items from different merchants in the area such as pens, sponges, key chains and a dash plaque with the winner from the previous cruise night. For anyone stopping by to look at the cars, there is no admission fee.

Adams said their cruise nights include cars from any time up to 1985, noting that it has become more difficult over the last few years to find older cars from the ’40s and ’50s. Each cruise night typically involves about 75 to 100 cars on display.

Although the cruise nights include prizes and a raffle to draw the “winning” car, there is not an emphasis on competition.

“There’s no best car,” Adams said. “It’s just a real good time to get together and shoot the breeze.”

Above all, the Granite State Street Rodders’ cruise nights foster a sense of car community along the Seacoast.

“I think what people enjoy the most is parking the car, pulling up a chaise lounge and talking about their cars, talking about where they sell this, where they sell that, talking about the last cruise show they went to,” Adams said.

Not too far away from Rochester, cruise nights happen at HotRod City at 99 Oak St. in Dover every Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m.

The complex includes a hot rod shop, a motorcycle shop, a diner and a music shop, most of which stay open during the cruise nights. According to Sean LaRose, the event organizer, they accept all sorts of cars at their cruise nights, so they end up with quite a mix of vehicles, usually about 30 to 50 or more cars. LaRose works to create a low-key, cruise-in atmosphere with these events.

“You just pull in and park and hang out,” LaRose said.

There is no admission fee for the Thursday Night Cruises, and raffles and some giveaways are included throughout the night.

LaRose noted that ’50s and ’60s music plays to fit the cruise night environment.

The diner has proven to be a favorite among guests at the cruise nights, and it stays open with a full menu for the events. LaRose’s hot rod shop also draws in many curious guests on Thursday nights.

“Basically [HotRod City] became kind of a destination for people with hot rods and motorcycles…we knew it was going to be a great spot to hold a cruise night once a week,” LaRose said.

Cruisin’ the 50s in Newburyport

On Aug. 17 you can take a step back in time at the sixth annual Cruisin’ the 50s event in downtown Newburyport from 5 to 8 p.m.

Cruisin’ the 50s is a free event for the public at which invited guests will display vintage cars from their collections.

According to Wes Pettengill, the show coordinator, there will be two specialty lots this year. One will be at 94 State St. and is called “Color Chrome and Fins,” in celebration of the late 1950s automobiles with large tail fins and great colors. The second specialty lot, Tracy Park, will be found off Pleasant Street and is called “Handsome Haulers,” showcasing American-built pick-up trucks through the ’50s. Additionally, Pettengill said, Inn Street will be set up like a showroom, with cars of different eras and makes. In past years, recognizable cars, such as the DeLorean from the movie Back to the Future, have been on display at Cruisin’ the 50s.

The show coordinator said he is selective in inviting cars to this event.

“In a crowd of 250 cars, I might pick three or four,” Pettengill said. “We’re looking for things we don’t have. … I try to find really odd, high-end cars that we don’t have. … It’s kind of neat that the show is invitation only because that means the cars are all hand-picked.”

At 6:30 p.m. the Transistors will be performing oldies on stage in Market Square.

The Atlantic waves and open sands make the beach a great summer destination for kids, and the Seacoast community offers all kinds of activities for residents and visitors. Kids will have even more opportunities for fun this month during Hampton Beach’s weeklong Children’s Festival. The festival runs from Monday, Aug. 14, through Friday, Aug. 18, and will feature a packed schedule of kid-oriented events including magic shows, face painting and a costume parade. The festival has been held for over 50 years with families coming from all over the area to celebrate the summer fun.

But the summer fun doesn’t begin and end with the Children’s Festival. All month long kids can rock out at beach concerts or sit back and watch fireworks shows or movies in the sand. Head indoors and they can learn cool facts at interactive museums or play some old-school arcade games.

Check out this guide to the Hampton Beach Children’s Festival and lots of other kid fun on the coast.

A WEEK OF FUN

shown as part of the Movies on the Beach weekly event. Kane said families sit on the sand in chairs or on towels and can hear the ocean waves throughout the movie.

Tuesday’s big event is a kids’ talent show on the Sea Shell Stage at 2 p.m. Kids who would like to participate in the show can register at the beach’s info center before the show.

Kane said the show is hard to judge every year because all the kids are cute and talented.

Sherrill Ayles, co-chair of the Children’s Festival, has seen many memorable performances over the years. At the talent show last year, there was one 12-year-old boy who dressed in his karate uniform and put on a martial arts performance.

“He was so in character he was almost frightening, but he was really good,” Ayles said. “You never quite know what the children are going to perform.”

If the kids want to let out their energy, there will be an All Hands Drumming interactive performance on Wednesday at 11 a.m. on the Sea Shell Stage. A variety of drums will be provided by Tony Fonseca, who will first play and then invite the kids onstage so they can try the instruments themselves.

Hampton Beach Children’s Festival

For 50 years, the Hampton Village District has been organizing the Children’s Festival at Hampton Beach, which takes place this year from Monday, Aug. 14, through Friday, Aug. 18.

John Kane, the Hampton Beach Village District marketing director, said the annual event has changed somewhat over the years but always focuses on kids.

The week starts with a magic show from B.J Hickman on the Sea Shell Stage. Kane said that the magician has to bring new tricks every year because the event is so popular that kids who have already seen the show keep coming back. Activities at the Sea Shell Stage continue all day Monday, and at night Pixar’s Finding Dory will be

The annual bumper sticker competition is back this year. The competition has kids creating their own slogans and drawings that they feel represent Hampton Beach.

Kane said the winner is announced at the end of the week; the prize is a bicycle, and the winning design is printed on over 40,000 bumper stickers for tourists and residents to buy.

Last year’s winning slogan was “Let’s all meet at Hampton Beach for the summer fun!”

Kane said the week ends with the annual costume parade that shuts down Ocean Boulevard.

“Kids gear up for it all week,” Kane said.

Ayles said she is particularly excited about Friday’s parade. The kids walk from the Hampton Beach State Park South Entrance to the Sea Shell Stage, where prizes for costumes are awarded for categories like cuteness, creativity and uniformity if kids enter as a team. Ayles said that while the winners get special recognition, there are always enough prizes and toys for every participant.

10 The parade will be escorted by a fleet of the Hampton area’s municipals trucks and vehicles. The police department, fire department and lifeguards will bring their vehicles for kids to see. The fire department brings a vintage 1948 Hampton Fire Truck every year, which Ayles said is always a hit.

Ayles said one of the highlights of the week is the touch tanks brought in by the Blue Ocean Society on Thursday, Aug. 17.

The kids get the chance to see and interact with animals found in tide pools of the Seacoast.

Other events throughout the week include arts and crafts, face painting, minigolf, balloon twisting and free ice cream with Ronald McDonald.

The Children’s Week festival is organized by the Hampton Beach Village District, which is a collection of residents and businesses in the Hampton Area who pay a fee on top of their taxes to pay for community activities like the Children’s Week, fireworks, talent competitions and other events.

570 Ocean Boulevard, Rye, N.H., 603436-8043, seacoastsciencecenter.org The Seacoast Science Center offers interactive exhibits that let kids learn about the animals that live on the the Seacoast shores. There are touch tanks where kids can get up close to the creatures that call the seacoast home. Karen Provazza, the director of marketing at the science center, said the tanks are supervised by knowledgeable instructors who show the kids how to handle the animals and also teach them about their biology.

The touch tanks feature tide pool creatures like periwinkles, sea urchins, sea stars, blue mussels, hermit crabs and many others.

“When the tide is low you can find some of the very same creatures outside,” said

Provazza.

The science center has many other exhibits, including an information station about the center’s marine life rescue program.

Provazza said the program is responsible for responding to calls about any marine mammals that wash up on shore, are resting on the beach or have gone astray on the Seacoast shores.

Provazza said the program typically responds to calls about seals so the exhibit at the science center teaches guest about the four most common seal species found on Seacoast.

The Maine live animal exhibit hall has sea creatures found on Maine’s shores including giant lobsters, blue lobsters, seahorses and striped bass.

This summer’s new exhibit features tropical fish and has information about the animals’ exotic stripes and patterns as well as their migrating habits.

Kids under 3 can visit the Seacoast Science Center for free, kids ages 3-12 are $5, and adults 13 and older are $10.

The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire

6 Washington St., Dover, N.H., 603-7422002, childrens-museum.org The Children’s Museum in Dover is a made to be a fun and educational day trip destination for kids. Admission is $10 for adults and children. Kids under one year old get in free. The tickets give families access to exhibits that are aimed at teaching kids science through hands-on interactive experiences. The Children’s Museum has building, geology, music and technology sections.

“I just like the informal learning environment. It’s really a fun place to be,” said Xanthi Gray, the director of education at the Children’s Museum.

Through the week of Aug. 14 through Aug. 18, the Children’s Museum is offering an educational science camp about ecology and the natural world. The EcoExplorers camp will teach kids age 7 to 11 about animal communications and 14

12 adaptation as well as plans and ecosystems through exploration, games and art projects.

On the days that the camps are not running, Gray said, families can come in and participate in the drop-in activities. The newest exhibit, the Thinkering Lab, built six months ago, features design and engineering activities. The lab teaches kids how to solve engineering problems by using foam building blocks to make their own structures.

“The kids can create [what] they want in there,” said Gray.

The Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math program, or STEAM, teaches kids about fundamental ideas associated with each of its categories through handson exercises like 3-D printing and K’Nex building. The exhibit challenges kids to think outside the box and Gray said they can create slime by using chemistry to mix various ingredients.

The Children’s Museum has drop-in activities Monday through Saturday this month, and the Museum’s exhibits are open from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

WATCH A SHOW Monday Night Movies at the Beach

Ocean Boulevard, Hampton, 603-926-8717 On the beach by the playground there will be movies shown on an inflatable projection screen every Monday night at dusk. Start times vary because the sun will set earlier and earlier throughout the season. John Kane, marketing director of the Hampton Beach Village District, said the event is popular because of the unique movie viewing experience.

“There could be between 500 and 700 people on the beach,” said Kane.

On Monday, Aug. 14, at dusk, Disney Pixar’s Finding Dory will be shown on the inflatable screen. You can find out ahead of time what movies are playing each week by visiting the official Hampton Beach Facebook page.

Fireworks

Ocean Boulevard, Hampton, 603-926-8717 Fireworks will be shot off every Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. throughout the summer at Hampton Beach. The team at Hampton Beach does the fireworks show every week and Kane said their experience shows.

Expect to be amazed and inspired by the explosive display as it reflects over the waters of the Atlantic. Enjoy the spectacle for free from the comfort of your beach chair on the sand. The show has made a reputation for itself as one of the most consistent fireworks displays in the state, according to Kane.

“We do more fireworks than anyone else in New Hampshire,” said Kane.

Kane said the event is great for kids because they can raise their voices to their heart’s content while they enjoy the colorful display. Oohs and ahs are to be expected at this free show.

169 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton, 603926-2381, hamptonbeachcasinonh.com Funarama is a family-owned business that has been giving kids a challenging gaming experience since 1958. Co-owner Robert Gray is proud of the family-friendly atmosphere that the business has been able to maintain all these years.

“It’s so nice to see so many returning families come back here; it’s great to have those connections,” said Gray.

The arcade has employed generations of local younger people whom Gray said constantly maintain the games and keep the space clean and comfortable. Gray said the redemption counter, where players go to exchange their tickets for prizes, has been updated to suit the interests of the modern kid. Gaming consoles, iPads and Bluetooth speakers have been added to the selection along with the traditional plush bears and bouncy balls.

Gray said there are regular customers who make it their goal to secure a large prize before the end of the season. Last year, a boy saved up all summer for 30,000 tickets so he could buy a ukulele from the redemption counter.

“He serenaded us as he went out the door,” Gray said.

The staff took it a step further this year Salisbury Beach carousel The Salisbury Beach Carousel sits inside the newly outfitted Salisbury Beach Mall area on Broadway, which, according to the Salisbury Beach Partnership’s Facebook page, has been updated with turf grass, Adirondack chairs, beach awnings and cornhole games. The Salisbury boardwalk is also now complete so you can walk along the beach on the raised platform and sit at the shaded picnic tables.

and brought in a guitar that players can now buy with tickets.

Gray said his he has new games every season. This year he installed an eightfoot-high Space Invaders screen, a Walking Dead shooter with handheld guns, and a Nintendo racing game. But Funarama still has the classic games that made it popular back in the 1950s and ’60s, like the fivepoint spider rings and the 65-point squirt guns.

Gray said the most popular game among kids and families is skeeball.

Playland Arcade

211 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton, 603-926-3831 Playland Arcade, on the Hampton Beach boardwalk, is hard to miss with its big white and green sign. The arcade is opens onto the sidewalk so visitors can come and go easily.

“The environment, it’s a very open arcade and it’s very welcoming,” said Richard Appel, who has worked at the arcade for five years.

Appel said the arcade has over 100 games and that skeeball remains a favorite for kids because it is a simple game that almost always rewards the players with tickets. He said their newest game, The Walking Dead, which features two plastic guns that users can handle to shoot down onslaughts of zombies, has been popular with thrill-seekers this summer.

Joe’s Playland Arcade

15 Broadway, Salisbury, Mass., 978465-8311, joesplayland.com Joe’s Playland has been in business in Salisbury for over 65 years, according to owner Dan Abdulla, whose family has been in the area for about 100 years. Joe’s Playland has two locations in the Salisbury Beach Mall area, and there are over 200 games spanning the two locations, accord18 ing to Abdulla.

Abdulla said the business’s lon16 gevity can be credited to the positive atmosphere at the arcade.

“We keep it clean, we have a good atmosphere and we are friendly and we always keep our games up to date,” Abdulla said.

New this year is the racing game Cruisin Blast, which has players in a red racing seat handling a steering wheel through challenging courses. The game is set up to have two players racing against each other and against other computer-driven cars.

As at the other beach arcades, the tried and true favorite game for kids and families at Joe’s is skeeball, according to Abdulla.

“Skeeball is always a favorite,” Abdulla said.

LEIGH ANN STEELE CO-OWNER OF RYE BEACH YOGA How long have you been open?

Since June 2016, so just a little over a year. I own the studio with my husband, Robin Wehbe, and mother-in-law, Seta Wehbe. It is a family business.

Why do you love yoga? What has it meant to you in your life?

I love yoga because it has brought a sense of peace and community into my life. Not only does it provide health benefits, but the mental benefits are beyond anything I ever expected. This is something that I want to give back to our community.

What is it like practicing yoga in a place like Rye Beach? How does the natural beauty of this area enhance the practice of yoga and what you offer?

We offer a variety of classes — vinyasa-based flow yoga, slow flow, flow + yin, restorative, meditation, yoga for runners and surfers, and yoga basics. We also offer private sessions for individuals or groups. Our goal is to provide a serene, safe and welcoming space where students can explore yoga. Our close proximity to the beach adds to this experience. I would say that people want to practice at our studio due to the experienced teachers, serene studio environment by the beach, and welcoming community.

Anything else you want people to know about you or Rye Beach Yoga?

We are directly across from beach access to Cable Beach in Rye. Rye Beach Yoga is

a studio with local roots and family-owned and -run by Rye residents. We’ve all been practicing yoga for years and my husband, Robin, often said how great it would be to have a place to do yoga by the beach in Rye, which is why we decided to open up this studio. To us, the studio is like a flower growing next to the beach. We like to think of ourselves as a welcome addition to the community.

Are you from the area originally?

No, I am not from the area originally, but I grew up visiting the New Hampshire Seacoast in the summers.

What makes the Seacoast so special to you? I assume you must love the ocean?

The Seacoast is special to me because it offers so many things. There is the peaceful sound of the ocean, beautiful beaches, friendly neighbors and great waves. We are grateful for the opportunity to teach yoga in this special area.

When not practicing yoga, what do you do for fun?

I spend time running, biking and chasing after my three young children.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I hope to be doing much of the same as I’m doing now. I see myself teaching yoga and managing a flourishing yoga studio.

If you have been to a local road race lately, you may have seen some folks who were walking, but at a pace that seemed unusually fast. Known as race walkers, these individuals may be found at more and more events, as the sport of race walking continues to catch on with the general public.

In defining it, local race walker Jay Diener cited the official definition of race walking as “a progression of steps so taken that the walker makes contact with the ground, so that no visible — to the human eye — loss of contact occurs. The advancing leg shall be straightened — not bent at the knee — from the moment of first contact with the ground until the vertical upright position.”

Noting this definition and rules that help to differentiate race walking from running, he said what most people perceive as the exaggerated movements associated with it actually increase efficiency and speed.

“Keeping your toes up at an angle when the foot hits the ground makes it easier to keep the leg straight,” he said. “The length of the stride in front is actually quite short. Overstriding can inhibit rather than enhance speed. Rotating — not swiveling — the hips helps the trailing leg stay on the ground a little longer for a better push-off with the toe and then helps to bring that leg forward faster.”

He said the arm swing is short and powerful, too, as it helps generate faster leg speed.

“This is not the way we learned to walk as toddlers, so it does take some time and practice to get used to it,” he said.

For those interested in the speed of race walkers, he said many can go faster than runners, with middle and high school racers in Maine already in the 7- to 8-minute-mile range. A runner years ago, Diener said he got into the sport after he sustained a foot injury that stopped him from running, which led him to sign up for a race walking clinic in Massachusetts.

“I never looked back,” he said. “I eventually had surgery on my foot and could have returned to running, but I grew to like race walking and have stayed with it.”

In competing locally, he said there is no shortage of area road races with competitive walking divisions. He said he has raced in distances from the 5K to half-marathons and performed well and had fun.

Diener does all his workouts on the roads. He generally trains five or six mornings each week and averages between three and six miles per training session.

“I try to get in one hard workout and one long one a week,” he said. “The rest are relatively easy where I try to tweak one aspect of my race walking form or another.”

If there is one aspect he enjoys most about race walking, he said it is the competition and camaraderie.

“Ours is a small community, so we tend to be very supportive of each other even though we compete hard against one another,” he said.

He also enjoys competing against runners and seeing as well as hearing the varied reactions when he passes some of them.

“I’m far from the fastest or youngest race walker around, but I average about 11:30 to 11:45 per mile on my workouts,” he said.

For those interested in getting started in race walking, Diener said, there are a few talented racewalking coaches who tour the country and host weekend clinics in various cities, like Dave McGovern and Jeff Salvage.

He said he also offers guidance at an informal coaching and training group that meets in Portsmouth twice each month.

“Anyone is welcome to come and there is no charge,” he said.

Diener may be reached at coastwalker1@gmail.com.

CAR TALK

You will have more say in the future in what goes on your dash Dear Car Talk: I have a new 2017 Honda Ridgeline. The speedometer is digital; it shows numbers only.

It has no dial. However, it still has an analog tachometer. The transBy Ray Magliozzi mission is an automatic 6-speed. Why do you need a tachometer with an automatic transmission? In the old days, the tachometer was a necessity for manual transmissions; with today’s automatic computerized transmissions, it seems to be of little value. I would much rather have a speedometer dial instead of a tachometer.

What do you think? — Bill There’s no real reason a car with an automatic transmission needs a tachometer. You can drive that car 200,000 miles and never need to know what the engine speed is. Even if you shift it manually, the computer will prevent you from doing anything stupid, like over-revving: It’ll just cut off the fuel supply or spark when you approach the red line.

So why does it have a tach? Well, without it, there’d be a big hole in your dashboard.

That wouldn’t look good. They could put a clock there, but there’s probably already a clock on the video screen.

I tend to agree with you. I prefer a speedometer dial to the digital readout. There’s hope for the future, however: More and more new cars are starting to come with customizable video displays instead of instrument clusters. So, instead of an analog speedometer, there’s a high-definition LCD screen, and the computer creates an image of a speedometer that looks and acts like an analog speedometer, with a moving dial.

With these displays, you can customize what you see on the instrument panel in front of you: You can make the speedometer and tachometer smaller, and see a large navigation map in the middle; or you can see your entertainment system’s choices. You can’t see “Judge Judy” yet, but it’s probably coming.

And there’s nothing stopping the manufacturers from letting you choose which instruments you want to see, so you could have a speedometer instead of a tachometer, and your neighbor, Fred, could monitor his oil temperature in 7-inch grandeur. You’ll be able to get that on your 2022 Ridgeline.

Actually, I find that there is one unsung advantage of a tachometer these days. Some cars are so quiet now that it’s actually hard to tell if they’re running. And with push-button ignition, you no longer remove the key after shutting off the ignition. So I’ll admit to

SEACOAST SCENE | AUGUST 10 - 16, 2017 | PAGE 28

glancing at the tachometer from time to time, to make sure I’ve turned off the engine.

Dear Car Talk: Where is my oil? Our 2013 Equinox with 52,000 miles has disappearing oil. Between the last three scheduled oil changes, we lost more than 2 quarts. Last week I checked the dipstick, and nothing registered. I added a quart, and it came up to 3/16 of an inch on the stick. Now the oil-change readout says 29 percent left until oil change. I took it to the dealer, and they found nothing — nada.

They saw no drips, no signs of oil running down the outside of the engine, and when the car is running, they saw no smoke coming out of the tailpipe, and no smells. They are stumped, and so is this chump. So, what are your thoughts? — Charles Well, unless some neighbor is sneaking into your driveway at night and siphoning out your oil, you’re burning it. If you lost about 2 1/2 quarts between each of your last three oil changes, that’s not good on a car with only 52,000 miles. But it’s not “start fracking in the backyard” level oil burning yet.

If you’re a typical driver, you change your oil every 7,500 miles or so. Maybe more.

So you’re burning the equivalent of a quart every 3,000 miles. Normally, people start

complaining to us when they’re burning a quart every 1,000 miles, or a quart every 500.

My brother wouldn’t even buy a car unless it was burning at least a quart every 250.

My more immediate concern for you is that you allowed the oil level to get more than a quart low before adding oil. So you need to be more vigilant, and check it more often. Letting the engine run low on oil will only harm the rings and increase your oil burning. Unfortunately, oil burning also tends to get worse over time. So your current rate doesn’t bode well for this car’s longevity without an engine rebuild at some point. So if you’re still under some sort of extended warranty, you want to be sure to have your dealer document the oil loss — even if they claim to be stumped by what’s causing it.

They do that by sealing the system, so you can’t tamper with it, and then having you come back in at certain intervals to document the oil loss. That may give you a better case to make, should the oil consumption take a sudden turn for the voluminous in the near future. Alternatively, since the dealer didn’t see any blue smoke coming out of the tailpipe when you took the car in for service, you can assume they won’t see any if you go back next week to trade in the car.

FOOD

AT GROUNDSWELL CAFE Heather Fritz opened the GroundSwell Cafe (25 Broadway, Salisbury, 978255-1456, groundswellsurfcafe.com) on Salisbury Beach after being inspired by the California surf shop scene. The beachfront location has an open atmosphere with two walls almost completely open to the sand. The shop is known for its acai bowl, which is a Brazilian breakfast dish that consists of frozen and mashed palm fruit topped with granola, peanut butter, fresh fruit and all sorts of other breakfast ingredients. The cafe bakes its own pastries and the menu is full of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free items. The shop also organizes yoga lessons, surf sessions and paddleboard and bike rentals.

How long has the GroundSwell Cafe been open?

We opened in May of 2015. This is our third season. It’s just always been a dream of mine. I was born and raised here on the Seacoast and I moved out to California for a while and was inspired by the whole surf cafe scene and what it brings to the community with the food and the activities. And then when I moved back I decided to try and pursue that dream. It was definitely a learning curve for everybody, you know?

A lot of people didn’t know what acai was, so I was answering a lot of questions about what it was. I was trying to educate people about acai and some of the healthier options we have, like our nutritional boosters. It was very wellreceived. Salisbury doesn’t really have any coffee shops down here.

What is your personal favorite dish?

The Whole Shebang. It’s an acai bowl and it comes with all the toppings, granola, peanut butter, coconut, strawberries, blueberries, banana and honey. We try to source them as locally as possible. We get our bagels from Andyman’s over in Amesbury and we use Shaheen, which is a local distributor, for a lot of our produce. And then we try to just bake most of our stuff from scratch. Wendy is nailing it; she makes all of our baked goods. We do a lot of gluten-free stuff too so that’s pretty cool. I think we are a good spot for people with any allergies ... anyone who is vegan [or] anyone who has any gluten allergies.

We have gluten-free baked goods, granola, bread, the whole bit.

What is a dish that you recommend everyone try?

The acai bowl is the staple but I would

suggest coming in on Sundays for our sangrias and our fresh-squeezed mimosas. Our red sangria has a blend of black raspberry, acai, strawberries and oranges and the white sangria is ginger, pear, apple and white wine. Our mimosas have fresh-squeezed oranges, fresh-squeezed fruit juice and we have rosemary simple syrup that we make.

What is an essential skill when running a restaurant?

Customer service and being able to work well under pressure. It’s a juicey group at Salisbury Beach so you just have to be able to see the beauty in every single person and know that this is their special beach day and how can you make it awesome. And of course just being able to work well under pressure. When there is a long line out the door, just being able to keep your cool.

If you could serve any celebrity, who would it be?

I would serve Gandhi a big sprout breakfast sandwich and that comes with a fried egg, cheddar, tomato, avocado, baby spinach and pesto aioli on a freshly baked bagel from Andyman’s. And an ice turmeric ginger tea. I think he would appreciate it because he would probably be vegetarian if he was still around.

If you love a local eatery and want to see it featured on this page, send your suggestion to editor@ seacoastscene.net. Seacoast Eats highlights restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops and anywhere else you can get great food in Hampton, Rye, Seabrook and Salisbury.

What do you think makes the GroundSwell Cafe unique?

We try to offer a really positive full experience for our customers. We offer our healthy food options but we try to create an encompassing positive vibe between our customer service, the music that we play, the fresh air with the open windows, the bikes, the paddleboards.

So I think we really try to make it a total experience for someone here at Salisbury Beach.

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

The beach. I just love the ocean. I love everything about it so I feel pretty fortunate to be able to be here with fresh air and hop in the ocean on break. I do a lot of paddleboard surfing. Standup paddleboarding is a good alternative to surfing because if there aren’t any waves you can still go out there and play, and if there are waves you can catch a few.

Three Granite State breweries will join forces with the American Independence Museum in Exeter to showcase craft beer and history, with brews being poured alongside colonial-themed games, historical trivia competitions, museum tours and a tavern “escape room.”

This is the second year the museum is hosting the Beer for History series in its own Folsom Tavern, with one event happening in August, one in September and one in October. During each event, one brewery will lead the festivities with themes related to their brews and to Revolutionary Warera history.

The first event in the series, featuring Neighborhood Beer Co. in Exeter, is happening Thursday, Aug. 17, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Additional events are Sept. 14, when the museum will host 7th Settlement Brewery in Dover, and Oct. 12, when Earth Eagle Brewings in Portsmouth will be featured.

“We started with the idea that we wanted to do was base classic German recipes for our beers … and put an Americanized twist on them,” said Salina McIntire, sales and marketing coordinator of Neighborhood Beer Co. “Some of them we don’t necessarily make year-round, but they are fun for these types of events, because we get to highlight a lot of history and culture.”

Craft brews the Neighborhood Beer Co. will be pouring at the event include the Boss Flamingo, a German steam beer blended with malt and spicy yeast flavors, and the Obstinate Goat, an ale made with German landrace hops to give it a citrusy flavor. “[The Obstinate Goat] is an American blond ale-style beer,” said Rob Levey, director of advancement for the American Independence Museum. “It has some of the heavier qualities of a bock beer and the lighter qualities of blond beer. … German beers typically have high alcohol content but people are shocked because it tastes so light.”

Museum Executive Director Emma Bray said the breweries and the museum will also host games, trivia, museum tours and even Beer for History series When: Thursdays, Aug. 17, Sept. 14 and Oct. 12, 6 to 8 p.m.

Where: Folsom Tavern, 164 Water St., Exeter Cost: $20 per person, or $55 for all three events in the series. American Independence Museum members receive a $5 discount per event.

an “escape room” inside the tavern, which will be the theme of the August event.

“The tavern is going to be open for people to walk around through … and there are labels and interpretive panels to talk about the tavern’s history,” Bray said. “Children are welcome as well. There will be a children’s space in the tavern with food and games.”

Levey, who came up with the series idea last year, said he wanted to create an event to connect the history of brewing beer with the history of the museum.

“Breweries love history and honor their roots … and these events also allow us to honor the roots of our country as well,” he said. “The property [of the museum] is really important, not only to Exeter but to the history of the state as well, because it was actually the capital of New Hampshire during the Revolutionary War. … George Washington also had a beer in one of the rooms in the tavern before he was president, so folks will have the opportunity to see that room.”

Multiple breweries attended the same events during last year’s Beer for History series. But this year’s events have been tweaked, Levey said, to give each visiting brewery its own platform to showcase its brews.

“By narrowing the focus down to one brewery per festival, it gives the staff a chance to talk about what they brew and how they brew it, and a little more about the business as well,” he said. “It all connects back to the historical aspect of brewing beer.”

Ideas from off the shelf

Sloppy Joes When I first came across this recipe, I immediately thought, “Who would need a recipe for sloppy Joes?” Then I realized the only sloppy Joes I’ve ever made have come from a can. Now while that is the ultimate pantry-friendly recipe, this one is also relatively easy and convenient.

It was heavy on pantry ingredients, and came together in about 20 minutes — the recipe for a perfect weeknight meal.

There’s something about me that not many people can even begin to comprehend: I hate ketchup. I have a visceral reaction to the stuff. If I even get a whiff of it, I’m close to panicking. If I somehow get some on my plate or heaven forbid a french fry, I’ll have a meltdown.

So, when I saw that this recipe called for one-half cup of ketchup, I nearly kept looking for a different dinner idea. But then I remembered I love sloppy Joes and needed to be an adult (in hindsight, two unrelated things), and decided to try my hand at this recipe.

I substituted ground turkey for ground beef, but otherwise followed the recipe precisely — I wasn’t taking any chances with something that called for ketchup.

One of my favorite things about sloppy Joes is the dynamic flavor. Every bite is a little sweet, a little sour and has a tang to it that you can’t quite identify. Having grown up eating sloppy Joes made from a can, I wasn’t sure if I could expect the same flavors, but my first bite of this sandwich was delightful. The sloppy Joe packed all the familiar flavors, but elevated; I would argue that’s because the sauce hadn’t been sitting in a can for an unknown amount of time.

Even my husband, who is not normally a fan of sloppy Joes, went back for seconds. The finished product just

tasted fresher, but still had that sweetsour-tangy flavor I associate with the sandwich.

Served with a side of broccoli and french fries, this sandwich was surprisingly simple to make, which helped ease the stress of the normal dinner-bathbooks-bedtime routine in my house. Plus, it didn’t require me to make a store run.

With just a handful of ingredients, such as Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar, you can throw this together in a pinch. And, if you’re feeling extra ambitious, you could easily make a large batch and keep it warm in a slow cooker for your end-of-summer or backto-school cookouts that are creeping ever closer. — Lauren Mifsud

Sloppy Joes Recipe adapted from Delish

Hamburger buns and red onion (optional) for serving

In a large skillet, heat oil and add onion and pepper. Sauté until tender, about 1 minute. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste, cooking until fragrant, about an additional minute. Add ground turkey or beef and cook through, about 5 or 6 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar and cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste, reduce heat and let simmer until sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes.

The New Hampshire craft beer scene is exploding. New breweries with interesting and tasty concoctions pop up weekly, or so it seems. There’s no better example of that in the Granite State than the Seacoast, where the beer scene is particularly enticing.

You can find local brews in stores and right at the brewery, where you stand a fairly good chance of meeting the actual brewer — and you’re guaranteed to be sipping your beer at its absolute freshest. So have a pint (or a tasting flight) at these Seacoast breweries.

A note: Breweries can have limited hours, so check in advance, and it’s probably a good idea to call if you are interested in specific brews.

Stoneface Brewing Co. (stonefacebrewing.com) 436 Shattuck Way, Unit 6, Newington, 570-2603 Try: You cannot go wrong at Stoneface, which makes some of the best India Pale Ales (IPAs) in New Hampshire. I’m intrigued by the “Oated Ella,” a pale ale brewed with actual rolled oats and Australian hops.

Throwback Brewery (throwbackbrewery.com) 7 Hobbs Road, North Hampton, 379-2317 Try: The Hobbs Farmhouse Ale is a peppery, dry saison brewed with local hops.

Perfect after a day at the beach.

Art over coffee

Portsmouth gallery shows art depicting cafe scenes

Photograph by Debra Woodward featured in “Cafe Life.” Courtesy photo.

Friends Peggy Murray and Debra Woodward were sitting in a cafe last fall, talking art. Murray, a painter, was looking for her next source of inspiration. Woodward, a photographer, had booked a gallery for August but didn’t know yet what kind of show she wanted to feature. As they sipped their cappuccinos and looked around at the people in the cafe, they had an idea.

“Peggy said she loved painting people in cafes, and I said I loved photographing people in cafes and that some of my best photos have been taken in cafes,” Woodward said.

“That’s when we both looked at each other and said, ‘This could be a show.’”

For the next eight months they visited cafes, painting and photographing the people and things they saw there. The result is “Cafe Life,” an art show housed at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery in Portsmouth, open now through Aug. 26. Around 28 pieces are featured, including color oil paintings and black and white photos depicting scenes from Seacoast cafes and cafes all over the U.S. and Europe.

“There’s one where I was walking down the street in Paris at night and I saw a guy at a cafe sitting all alone looking really dejected. I stood across the street and startCafe Life

ed shooting, and on the bottom right of the shot you can see a pair of feet leaving, so it looks like someone just left,” Woodward said. “I wanted to capture that moment and the feeling of how he felt.”

Murray said she and Woodward wanted the contrast between the color in the paintings and the black and white of the photos to create an engaging and impactful collection.

“It’s a nice experience for the viewer,” she said. “It allows the viewer’s eye to rest, like a palate-cleanser, by alternating the black and white with the colorful pieces of art.

Each enhances the experience for the other.”

The structural contrast generated by using two different media, Murray added, allows the viewer to experience the cafe scenes in different ways.

“Deb captures the emotional quality and the inner life of people,” she said, “whereas I’m not so concerned about making [the painting] look exactly like [the people] or about showing their emotions. My point is about the figures and about showing how a figure fits within a space.”

Even though Murray’s and Woodward’s art differs visually, the inspiration and drive behind it comes from the same place. As cafe-goers themselves, they make it a point to empathize with their subjects; they see themselves in their work, Woodward said, and they hope that others do as well.

“What we’d like people to see is the universality of the whole thing,” she said. “It shows that people are the same all over the world. … Whether it’s to have some solitude and read a book, to go out with friends and talk and enjoy music, or even just to be in the company of other people and maybe meet new people, everyone loves going to cafes for the same reasons.”

POP CULTURE

You’ve got brilliant scientists. You’ve got genetic engineering. You’ve got the real-life version of Jurassic Park, only with creatures more majestic than terrifying. Throw in the fact that a movie is already in the works, and that the author wrote the book that became The Social Network, the 2010 movie about the founding of Facebook that won three Academy Awards.

So how do you make Ben Mezrich’s Woolly something bordering on boring?

First, by making the woolly mammoth a supporting actor, not the star.

Woolly is not so much a book about the quest to bring back the woolly mammoth, the hairy behemoth that has been extinct for 10,000 years, as it is a love letter to Dr. George Church, the renowned Harvard geneticist at the forefront of the effort.

Mezrich opens every new section from the book with not one but two or three quotations from Church, which seems bizarrely sycophantic and also makes you wonder why he chose these particular quotes. Church, a founder of the Human Genome Project, may be the smartest man strolling the streets of Cambridge, but you wouldn’t know it from some of these lines, such as, “You can’t just hoard your ideas inside the ivory tower. You have to get them out into the world.”

My theory is that Mezrich wanted to write a biography of Church, but an editor said it would never sell unless he threw a six-ton muppet into the mix. So instead of Church: The True Story of the Genius Who is Going to Revive One of History’s Most Iconic Extinct Creatures, we got Woolly. Church does deserve a biography, and will get it one of these days.

The second problem with Woolly is that

Mezrich makes the reader work so hard to get at the story. Those of us who are eager to know the story promised in the subtitle would like to read that fascinating tale in a linear fashion, point A to point Z. Instead, Mezrich employs a narrative style that doubtless helped him sell the movie rights but does nothing to help the reader. It’s the literary equivalent of cracking pistachios: so much work for the meat. We must endure quasi-fictional asides, such as an opening in which an imagined woolly mammoth calf faces a row of men holding spears, and an entire chapter about the grad student the lab hired to bring freshly delivered elephant placenta to Harvard.

This is not to say that the reason the scientists needed elephant placenta isn’t interesting, but we don’t need to know that the guy who delivered it used to drive an ice-cream truck and that he hopefully buys drinks for flight attendants at airport bars.

The effort to bring woolly mammoths back — or, more correctly, as Mezrich notes, the effort to create woolly mammoths, because scientists are no longer reading DNA but writing it — is riveting stuff. It is cutting-edge science with life-altering implications and ethical conundrums. The science involved is far more important to our lives than most of what passes for news on the nightly cable shows.

Which is why it seems diminished by this particular manner of presentation, with made-up dialogue and a tone that borders on deferential, not only to Church, the god-hero, but also to woolly mammoths, which are capitalized throughout like some tusked deity.

Only occasionally does Mezrich hint, through the questions of the “revivalists” (a term ironically pregnant with religious meaning), that perhaps it’s worth spending a little more time and ink pondering who is really served if de-extinction becomes

SEACOAST SCENE | AUGUST 10 - 16, 2017 | PAGE 44

real. The cover art, which shows the shadow of a woolly mammoth with a city skyline in the background, is cool but deceptive.

Humans have yet to learn to live with deer peaceably; it’s hard to imagine mammoths politely keeping to the outskirts of Concord or Manchester.

The good things: Mezrich does a decent job at explaining the complex machinations of what’s come to be known as “de-extinction,” the process by which scientists hope to fuse ancient and modern DNA, using a single, intact nucleus recovered from a mammoth entombed in ice, CRISPR gene-editing technology and elephant cells provided by Ringling Brothers.

The tale contains many interesting asides, including the story of a Russian scientist who believes he can head off catastrophic global

warming by re-introducing herds of animals to the Siberian tundra. (That is surely the holy grail of grant proposals: Please fund this research because woolly mammoths in a petri dish will stave off human extinction.)

But recent news that scientists have edited the DNA of embryos to successfully erase a type of heart defect makes creating a woolly mammoth seem more like a sideshow or a cool science-fair project, like a baking-soda volcano. Science is moving faster than the capacity of the average person to understand it. Books like this are needed to help us make sense of a world soon to be populated with woolly mammoths and designer babies. It’s disappointing (tusk, tusk) that this one wasn’t more engaging; let’s hope the movie is better, and that it arrives before the first woolly mammoth does. C — Jennifer Graham

LIGHT IT UP The Newburyport Harbor Light, known to the locals as Plum Island Light, is open for tours from 1 to 4 p.m. on the following Sundays, weather permitting: Aug. 13, Aug. 27, Sept.

10, Sept. 24.

“The view from the catwalk outside the lens room is spectacular. From there you can see most of Newburyport and the Great Salt Marsh, but you can also see the Isles of Shoals and Cape Anne,” said Megan St. John, a board member of the Friends of Plum Island Light. “To reach the light, visitors must climb a narrow, wooden spiral stairway. This is really a beautiful piece of original craftsmanship; it is hand-carved and has been well-oiled by the hands of those that climbed the stairs for the last 119 years.”

Children must be 5 years old and 42 inches tall to ascend the tower.

To access the viewing platform, visitors must be capable of ascending a short ladder at the top of the light and exiting through a trap door.

The tours and parking are free of charge, but donations are accepted.

“Unlike most other lighthouses today, Plum Island light is still at work as part of the Coast Guard’s method for modern navigation,” St. John said. “They continue to actively maintain the light and the lens to ensure that it functions properly. ” For information contact friendsofpilight@aol.com.

BANJO & FIDDLE CONTEST 114295

For the past decade and a half, The Conniption Fits have been a fixture on the regional live music scene. Appearing at venues ranging from Mount Washington to Hampton Beach most every weekend night, the Upper Valley power trio brings the party with a solid mix of alt-rock and pop covers, sprinkled with a few inventive originals.

In a bygone era, the latter would be a ticket to bigger stages, but band frontman and main songwriter Stevens Blanchard has adjusted to the idea that fans of the band have their own reasons for coming to shows.

“As far as the bars go, they don’t care what we play as long as people drink and have a good time,” he said in a recent phone interview. “Our originals are the heart of who we are, but they don’t necessarily translate in that situation.”

That said, at each show there’s always a merchandise table stacked with CDs and download cards, and it’s worth the effort to dig a little deeper. The Fits’ latest studio effort, Misinformed Informant, is a solid serving of arena-caliber rock with Blanchard’s wry wordplay at its center.

For those paying attention to lyrics, songs like “Until We Fall Apart,” “Exit Breath” and the title track are slices of his life, many reflecting a recent divorce.

“Fighting for my children, getting involved with a new younger girlfriend, the stigma attached to that — typical midlife scenario,” Blanchard said with a laugh. “I’m very well-versed in romantic disappointment. The title song is an example of that — someone tells tales on your significant other, but they’re misinformed and don’t know the whole story.”

It’s great driving music, and fans can pay what they want for a CD. Beyond that, the new album is really a double, as it includes nearly all of 2012’s Friends With Benefits … and Cash and a bonus track from Blanchard’s brief solo career.

“It only costs us 97 cents to produce,” Blanchard said. “Half of this is to see who’s paying attention. These days, your old stuff is just a time bomb waiting to go off.”

So the decision to repackage an old album with a new one was a no-brainer.

“We ran out of CDs in print, and it costs the same amount to put 17 songs on a new CD as it did to print an old one,” Blanchard said. “So let’s give them everything. Making money off an album is a joke. We put it out, people like it, and we get gigs. That’s how it comes around.”

Blanchard knows both the pre- and post-Internet sides of the music business.

SEACOAST SCENE | AUGUST 10 - 16, 2017 | PAGE 46

Motorplant, the band he formed out of high school, had a successful run in the 1990s, with radio airplay and MTV exposure.

Conniption Fits came together in 2004; discipline has helped them survive.

Blanchard senses that “if it’s not financially viable, it’s unsustainable; I’ve kept my eye on the numbers to make it work. …

We live and die by live performance and show attendance.”

As Ray Davies said back in the day, give the people what they want.

“In my experience people are averse to songs they don’t know,” Blanchard said.

“We could play a deep Black Keys cut that we love and if people don’t know it, it won’t matter. They’ll leave the floor and may not come back.”

Despite the tradeoff between art and

commerce, Blanchard has a ready answer for why he has no plans to stop doing it.

“I think my girlfriend asks me every day,” he said. “Our bass player Jamie put it best. He said, ‘I don’t know what to do with myself if we’re not doing this. I like being on stage, in the middle of the party….’ That’s where it’s coming from.

There’s a buzz from playing live music that you can’t get any other way. It’s like an addiction.”

FAMILY BUSINESS The Exeter Fine Crafts artist of the month is Adam MacMillan of Surfside Ceramics, who creates crystalline glazes on porcelain pottery. His process involves handthrowing or forming the pottery from porcelain and firing the work as high as 2,400 degrees to get the crystallized effect. MacMillan learned the craft from his parents, Richard and Teri MacMillan, who have each been potters for 50 years. MacMillan is also a trained mechanical engineer and has spent more than a decade making ceramics for the medical industry.

He’ll be at the gallery, 61 Water St., Exeter, Saturday, Aug. 19, from noon to 3 p.m. Call 778-8282 or visit exeterfinecrats.com.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

The American worker

A local chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees in Battle Creek, Michigan, is butting heads with Western Michigan University this summer after the school brought in a goat crew to clean up an overgrown woodlot on campus, leaving union workers without jobs. The AFSCME’s grievance cites a collective bargaining agreement with WMU, but university officials counter that “the area is rife with poison ivy and other invasive species,” which are difficult for humans to remove. The 20-goat crew, rented from Munchers on Hooves in Coldwater, Michigan, is ahead of schedule in clearing a 15-acre area.

With friends like these ...

Robert Kanoff, 49, celebrated Independence Day in an unusual way: High on drugs, he was dropped off in his birthday suit at a Tempe, Arizona, Walmart by two people who thought it would be “funny to see him naked,” said police. There he walked around the store wearing only shoes and carrying methamphetamines. Maricopa County sheriff’s officers caught up with him around 10 p.m. across the street from the store.

The entrepreneurial spirit

The car’s passengers rode home in a taxi, but one of the women then drove back to the police station to bail out the driver. Slidell officers arrested the woman for DWI, and she joined her friend in jail.

“Lesson of the day,” Slidell officers posted on their Facebook page: “Don’t drive drunk to a police station in order to bail out your drunk friend!”

• Police in Swansea, Illinois, suspect the heir to a brewery fortune has graduated from driving drunk to flying high. August Adolphus Busch IV, 53, landed his helicopter around noon on July 10 in an office complex parking lot outside St. Louis. Police and FAA investigators were still trying to determine why he had landed there and whether any aviation laws had been broken when they were called back to the parking lot around 8 p.m., where Busch, appearing to be intoxicated, was trying unsuccessfully to take off. Swansea police reported that Busch failed field sobriety tests but passed a breath test, and after they secured a warrant, Busch was taken to a local hospital for blood tests. (Also found in the helicopter: four loaded guns, several prescription pill bottles and eight dogs.) At press time, no charges had been filed.

Bright ideas

Why hire moving professionals for just one appliance? A man in Brisbane, Australia, gamely tried transporting his full-size refrigerator on a Queensland Rail car in April. He first rolled the fridge, strapped to a handcart, onto an elevator to the train platform. Shortly after guiding it into the train carriage, the man and his icebox were removed from the car by transit officers, who wrote him a $252 ticket. Apparently, his item would not fit under a seat, in an

Awesome!

A mathematician in Bucharest, Romania, scored a 44,900 euro profit when he made an exciting discovery at a flea market there: a rare World War II Enigma machine, used by the Nazis for encrypting messages. After paying the unwitting seller just 100 euros ($114 U.S.) for it, he took it into his care, cleaning and repairing it and learning how it worked. On July 11, a Bucharest auction house sold the machine for 45,000 euros ($51,500 U.S.) to an unnamed bidder.

Lacking a filter

Baseball fans at the Los Angeles Dodgers-Kansas City Royals game in Dodger Stadium on July 8 were treated to some righteous moves on the dance cam by “Rally Granny,” an older fan who capped her performance by flashing her bra at the 40,000-plus spectators. “You don’t see THAT much at a baseball stadium,” deadpanned Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger (who actually missed the spectacle).

First bikes, then cars ... now umbrellas.

Maybe. Sharing E Umbrella hit the streets of 11 Chinese cities in April with more than 300,000 umbrellas for rent from subway and bus stations. Unfortunately, the company’s founder, Zhao Shuping, didn’t provide instructions about returning the rentals after use, and most of the umbrellas have disappeared. Zhao noted his mistake, saying, “Umbrellas are different from bicycles. ...

PET OF THE WEEK Sam is a big hunk of a kitty that loves to be in the center of all the action. If you like a cat that is curious, fun and entertaining, then this is the dude for you! This big, handsome, 2-year-old male has lots of energy and loves to play. He’s on a special diet for allergies, so unfortunately he cannot stay in our community cat room where he would be exposed to food he can’t eat.

Instead, he spends his days confined in his own small space in our Adoption Center lobby. In the morning before we open to the public, is really the only time this rambunctious guy has the chance to run around and release his pent-up energy. He goes right to the box of toys and picks out his favorite bouncy balls to bat and chase around the lobby. Sam seems to do well with dogs he has met here and may be OK with some cats. Sam has a big personality, and loves to rub against your legs and be with you.

Due to his high energy nature, which can be a bit feisty when overstimulated, we recommend that Sam go to a home without young children. Like all the animals available for adoption at the New Hampshire SPCA, Sam is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all his shots. Visit him at the NHSPCA in Stratham or call 603-772-2921.
