This week I would like to share this announcement with you.

Hit the Beach returns to Hampton on Friday for its 10th year, when local surf shops will team with the Wounded Warrior Project Larry Marsolais to help injured veterans get on a surfboard and ride a wave. Local surf instructors will assist veterans at North Beach on Aug. 25 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with equipment and instructors provided by Cinnamon Rainbows, Pioneers, Zapstix’s and Summer Sessions. Veterans and their families will be able to gather for the event at 18th Street, where a large American flag will be hung by a Hampton fire truck.

This event gives veterans wounded in Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam and other bases around the globe the chance to surf. The

Wounded Warrior Project was founded in 2003 with the vision “to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history.”

American Legion Post 35 will be there to provide food, drink and moral support.

Hampton fire and police officials will also be on hand for assistance. Families of veterans who come to participate are encouraged to surf as well.

“It is, in short, an event that gives back to not only the veterans but the whole community and beyond,” said Ralph Fatello, former Post 35 commander who helps organize the event. “Hit the Beach day is something that once you’ve seen it and been a part of it, you will never forget.”

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

valuable services to local and national agencies.

On May 26, 1948, Congress passed Public Law 557 establishing CAP as the Auxiliary of the newly formed Air Force.

CAP has maintained its relationship with the Air Force and has continued its three congressionally mandated missions: emergency services, aerospace education and cadet programs.

The CAP motto is Semper Vigilans or Always Vigilant, and all members are obligated to abide by the organization’s core values: integrity, volunteer service, excellence and respect.

The New Hampshire Wing of Civil Air Patrol has eight active Composite and Cadet Squadrons located in Concord, Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth, Keene, Lebanon, and Rochester.

The Seacoast Composite Squadron in Portsmouth is the longest continuously operational squadron in the entire United States CAP organization.

Among their many activities, CAP cadets are eligible for five flights in powered aircraft (Cessna 172 or Cessna 182), during which they will have the opportunity to fly the airplane with an instructor.

They will also have five flights in a glider, where they will, again, have the opportunity for hands-on flying with an instructor.

More information about the Seacoast Composite Squadron can be found at seacoastsquadron.com.

The Seacoast Composite Squadron of Civil Air Patrol’s New Hampshire Wing will showcase its volunteer auxiliary program at an open house event from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 31, at Pease International Tradeport.

The open house will be held in Suite 175 at 222 International Drive at the Department of Environmental Services location.

Cadets, ages 12 to 18, and senior members, 18 and older, will demonstrate some of the activities that members of the Civil Air Patrol often take part in.

The Civil Air Patrol is a volunteer auxiliary of the United States Air Force.

Civil Air Patrol was created on Dec. 1, 1941, six days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

The New Hampshire Wing of CAP was founded on Dec. 13, 1941, and by January 1942, 153 New Hampshire pilots had joined.

During World War II, CAP assumed many missions in the war effort, such as anti-submarine patrol, border patrol and courier services. CAP’s coastal patrol aircraft flew 24 million miles, found 173 enemy U-boats, attacked 57, hit 10 and sank two. They dropped a total of 83 bombs and depth charges throughout the conflict. By the end of the war, 64 CAP members had lost their lives in the line of duty.

After the war, a thankful nation understood that CAP could continue to provide

The Seacoast Oldies Station Music from the Above: North Hampton. Left: The walkways along Rye Beach.

The beaches along New Hampshire’s and northern Massachusetts’ coasts vary in size, style and function. Some of the beaches are perfect for lounging in the sand, while others are rocky and better suited to, perhaps, fishing or exploring. Some of the area’s beaches are great for a morning walk, while others have music venues and eateries open late into the night.

Since each beach can get crowded during the busy summer season, it’s important to know what you want to get out of your visit so you can plan the perfect day. Here’s a guide to the area’s beaches and their amenities, plus some suggestions for which ones to visit morning, noon and night.

60's, 70's, 80's and More.

We play more music than any other Seacoast station.

Rye Beach, Rye

While all beaches along the coast tend to be most serene in the morning, before the crowds come, Rye Beach in particular boasts some pretty picturesque scenes.

Spectacular views of the sunrise can be seen over the rocky shores of Rye Beach.

Along the coastline are pebble beaches and small rocky cliffs outlined by raised walkways along the beach that are great for an early morning walk or jog.

Rye Beach is also a historically significant location because it is the site of the state’s first English settlement. Originally established in 1623 at Odiorne Point, the settlement was a plantation established by Pannaway Laconia Co. of England, according to the beach’s website.

The beach is significantly quieter than others on the coast because instead of open sands, it’s mostly rocky with pebble beaches and tide pools. You can explore the tide pools and marsh areas and find marine wildlife on the exposed rocky shore.

The area is also quiet because there are no businesses along the beach, which makes the oceanside location ideal for a peaceful morning retreat. The marshlands and wetlands make great canvases for the light of the sunrise.

And, though man-made, the massive estates along the coast make for great viewing as well, especially during the calm mornings when there’s no traffic to contend with. There are also paved sidewalks along Ocean Boulevard that make an early bike ride, walk or run safe and user-friendly.

9 businesses and natural scenery. The Sandpiper Cafe, which is attached to Summer Sessions surf shop, serves coffee and other breakfast foods as early as 7 a.m.

The Sandpiper Cafe has healthy breakfast and lunch food options like acai bowls and creative bagel sandwiches, according to its Facebook page. It also has fresh fruit smoothies and lattes. Out front is a small seating area where you can see the beach and the ocean before all the cars show up.

Jenness Beach is a New Hampshire state park, so it is kept clean and its facilities are well-maintained. It has a comfort station available with flush toilets, showers and changing rooms. It also allows dogs before 9 a.m. and after 7 p.m., so if you get there early in the morning you can enjoy the beach with your running buddy.

A metered parking lot fits up to 67 cars, according to the beach’s website. Parking is $2 an hour and you can pay with credit, debit or cash at the electronic meters. The spots are open from 8 a.m. till midnight.

The spaces are limited and fill up fast, so most visitors park along Ocean Boulevard.

Some spaces along the road are labeled “no parking” but everything else is fair game.

If you get into the water before the crowds arrive, you can enjoy the surferfriendly swells. Summer Session is a surf

Summer Sessions also offers private morning lessons for surfing and paddleboarding starting at 10 a.m. For $10 off you can have semi-private lessons for $50 with a group. The lessons come with wetsuits, beginner boards and an hour of instruction. If you decide to take an early morning surf on your own, lifeguards are not on duty till 10 a.m. Surfers stay to the right of the posted signs so as not to be in the main beach area.

Best beaches for afternoon activities Wallis Sands State Park, Rye

If you want to take the family out for a lunchtime picnic, Wallis Sands State Beach in Rye has a large grassy picnic table area.

The beach area is sandy, not rocky, and has depth stretching out far into the water so during low tides there is plenty of room for families to find a spot to lay out their blankets or set up chairs, according to Ken Loughlin, the manager at Wallis Sands Beach.

The beach has a general store that serves food and drinks, making lunch convenient if you don’t want to pack your own. Moe’s sandwiches are a favorite amongst picnickers, Loughlin said, and there’s pizza and ice cream too.

Loughlin said his team has improved the landscaping in the picnic area with flowers and decorations. Facilities also include bathrooms, dressing rooms, showers and the large picnic table area, which Loughlin said can fill up on busy days. He said the 500-car lot has filled up for the last nine Sundays in a row so if you are look- 12

If you’re staying for more than one meal or want another option, down the road from Wallis Sands is The Beach Hut, a locally sourced eatery that serves seafood, sandwiches and ice cream. The window-service shop is a good midday destination while visiting Wallis Sands because it is minutes from the beach and it offers an outdoor seating area that plays music.

The Beach Hut menu has been designed to offer a locally sourced natural take on beach food. The menu includes Annabelle’s Natural Ice Cream, which is made in Portsmouth, N.H., as well as fresh seafood sourced from vendors in the area.

Once you’re done eating, you can check out the tower view along the sidewalk of Wallis Sands where guests can look out over the Atlantic Ocean and try to spot the Isles of Shoals on a clear day.

Odiorne Point, Rye

115928

SEACOAST SCENE | AUGUST 24 - 30, 2017 | PAGE 12

The stretch of shore is the largest undeveloped stretch on New Hampshire’s 18-mile coastline, according to the beach’s website. The 135 acres of rocky shoreline in Rye offers a robust list of outdoor activities for lunchtime picnickers and midday adventurers alike. The area has something for everyone, including those who want a break from the beach, as there are extensive trails and the Seacoast Science Center.

Odiorne Point is home to salt marshes, ponds and dense forests surrounded by stone walls overlooking the sandy beaches below, and biker-friendly trails run through the forest, according to the beach’s website.

The area was once the site of a World War II fortification and the ruins of that building are rediscovered by visitors every day, according to Karen Provazza, the director of marketing at the Seacoast Science Center.

Provazza said that an informational walk through Odiorne Point’s most notable locations comes with the park’s $4 admission.

The tour takes guests to the southern areas of the park through the Drowned Forest and the remains of the Dearborn WWII military base.

The Drowned Forest is a gravel beach left behind from a time when glaciers dominated the landscape, according to Provazza.

She said the stumps of ancient trees that lived in the time of the glaciers can be seen during special low-tide conditions.

Fort Dearborn is also explored during the tours, giving guests the opportunity to interact with WWII gun mounts and bunkers. Provazza said that on a clear day you can look out and see the Isles of Shoals.

“You can actually see four different light houses on a clear day,” said Provazza.

Odiorne Point is made up of seven habitats where coastal plants, mammals and reptiles live. There are rocky shores, salt marshes, upland areas, forests, sand beaches, and fresh and saltwater ponds.

The Seacoast Science center has indoor exhibits that teach guests about the marine life of the coast. It is the center’s 25th year in business and they have several exhibits that show the progress they have made over the years. In addition to teaching guests about the biology of the area, the center helps to protect wildlife through programs like its marine mammal rescue program.

Admission to the park is $4 for adults and $2 for children age 6-11. The park opens to the public at 8 a.m. and stays open till 6 p.m. Admission to the Seacoast Science Center is $10 for adults, $5 for children age 3-12, $8 for seniors and military, and free for kids under 3.

The retaining wall at North Beach that blocks storm waves from the mainland is also a popular spot to eat a sandwich or soak up the sun. The wall is flat on top, so guests can sunbathe while looking out at the beach.

The sandy beach is long and flat with occasional man-made land jetties that protect it from erosion. The length of the beach is good for walking or jogging and the sandy picnic area is a good place to rest. The bath house has bathrooms open at 8 a.m. and there is metered parking beside the bath house or along Ocean Boulevard open from 8 a.m. to midnight, according to the beach’s website. Parking is $2 per hour and the spots are only a few feet from the beach.

After your lesson, grab lunch at the Secret Spot eatery across from North Beach, next to Cinnamon Rainbows. The shop is a short walk from the beach and offers smoothies, burritos, wraps and acai bowls. The acai bowls are made with certified organic sambazon acai, according to the restaurant’s website.

The North Beach Bar & Grill has an easy, breezy beach atmosphere, located next to Cinnamon Rainbows, according to the restaurant’s website. NBBG has American fare and seafood like its spinach shrimp salad or grilled Reuben with onion rings.

Guests can pair their food with a cocktail and sit outside on the ocean-view patio.

16 was excited about their stretch of 24 shows in 32 days.

“We normally do a lot of shows, but this run is big,” said Herrick.

The Casino Ballroom has been showcasing local and world-renowned performers since 1927, according to Herrick.

“It’s all about the talent you get on stage,” said Herrick.

The venue is known by performers and guests alike for its wooden stage and intimate atmosphere, according to Herrick, who said guests would never be more than 80 feet away from a performer on stage.

The ballroom has three bars and a kitchen that serves fried chicken, pizza and other bar-style foods, according to Herrick. The Casino Ballroom is an ideal spot to start or end your night, depending on your level of adventure, because of its central location along the boardwalk.

Along the boardwalk at Hampton Beach are bars and restaurants that stay open late and are easy to walk to. Out on the beach, there are weekly fireworks and movies hosted by the Hampton Beach village district. The family-friendly events have guests sitting out on the sand at night while they take in the fireworks displays over the Atlantic or the movie screenings on the inflatable projection screen.

The restaurants along the boardwalk are filled with nightlife throughout the summer. The Sea Ketch Restaurant on the

The picnic area at North Beach also has a volleyball court.

Hampton Beach boardwalk has indoor and deck seating with regular live performances every night. The restaurant’s dinner menu has seafood items including fried oysters, fried shrimp, farm-raised grilled Atlantic salmon and baked Atlantic sea scallops. Their cocktail menu has classic Ketch mojitos and Sea Ketch mai tais as well as craft beers, wines and martinis.

The deck seating at the Sea Ketch Restaurant gives guests a view of the sunset and nighttime scenery of the state’s largest beach. The restaurant is open till midnight.

The restaurant is in its 46th season, according to the website.

Salisbury Beach, Salisbury

Down the coastline in Massachusetts, Salisbury Beach offers beachside performances, restaurants and bars that stay open late. The Beachfront Stage, located on the beach at the top of the Salisbury Beach Mall area, has regular nightly performances.The quarter-per-hour metered parking in the mall area is hard to get and is limited during performances, but there are lots in the area that charge $10 or more for allday parking.

On Saturday, Aug. 26, at 7:30 p.m. the Adam Ezra Ramble will perform on the beachfront stage. The performance is the final event of the all-day fundraising ramble. Attendees pack into the mall area, which is surrounded by food shops and bars that are open late.

Surf Side is a restaurant and bar on Salisbury Beach that has live performances on its pier-style deck. From the outdoor seating area, guests can enjoy live music or watch Saturday’s fireworks. The kitchen is open till 9 p.m. serving New England clam chowder, Maine lobster rolls, Asian chicken tidal wraps and Hang Ten chicken tenders. The bar serves pirate’s tea, Captain’s mai tais and mango passion margaritas.

Ozzie’s is part of the Salisbury Beach mall area, so it is only steps from the beach.

Nighttime visitors can enjoy the last fireworks displays of the summer on Saturday, Aug. 26, and Saturday, Sept. 2, at 10:15 p.m. You can view the show on the newly constructed boardwalk, which has picnic tables and benches, or on the sandy beach.

PEOPLE AND PLACES

TAYLORE KELLY COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST AT CHILDREN’S MUSEUM OF NEW HAMPSHIRE IN DOVER How long have you been at the museum?

My three-year anniversary is Sept. 30. ... I had taken a couple of years off from “working” to be a full-throttle mom to my son Yoso and really getting to know who I was as an artist. Getting a bachelor’s and master’s in fine art sort of took the whole raw creative aspect of it away from me, although I am grateful.

Taylore Kelly. Courtesy photo.

Did you find out who you were?

Yes, being a mom and artist assisted each other. There was a symbiotic relationship.

There is an illusion that being a mother you are automatically happier, more fulfilled and complete. This took work on my own.

My son and I literally grew up together. He helped me learn who I really was through being myself as an artist and a mom. One day, I saw this job posted online for the Children’s Museum and it was as clear as a bell. It was for me.

What do you love about your job the most?

The creative aspect is pretty stellar. The fact that I work at the Children’s Museum, and I am the oldest toddler you will ever meet, really helps with connecting the creative dots. I have childlike wonder. I also enjoy the people I work with.

Any fun projects you are currently working on?

We just did our totems, which are hanging outside the front of the museum. I worked very hard on those with Eric and Tess, who work with me. It was a really fun collaboration. We also just finished this enormous banner that’s on the side of the museum. I worked really hard on this, too, and am thankful for the direction I received from Neva and Jane. We also have our fifth Dover Mini Maker Faire coming up on Aug. 26 [see a story about the event on p. 36]. It is the greatest show-and-tell on Earth for all ages. Half the people that come are adults without kids. It’s a gathering of fascinating people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. We have artists, engineers, scientists and crafters.

That sounds fun. How many people are you expecting at this event?

Roughly 1,600 people.

When not working, what do you do for fun?

I love to hike and [be in] nature. It is a spiritual act for me. My little dog Henri and I bask in the pleasure in the pathless woods. Nature is the greatest solace. This morning we saw, like, six toads, two owls and geese. I talk to the trees and they talk to me. I am in love with Vaughn Woods in South Berwick.

I would marry Vaughn Woods if I could, and in a way I am. This lights a fire in me creatively — I’m an artist and have a studio at the Salmon Falls Mills in Rollinsford.

What sort of art do you create?

Well, nature and animals heavily inspire me. All honest creatures. I love evocative work. They all derive from a feeling and growing from there. There is a lot of art wanting to be born and waiting to be created. That’s why I am an artist, so any opportunity I have I cowgirl up and create.

It’s an amazing way to be and I am quite fortunate to be attuned and wired this way.

I feel like my art pieces become beings and alive. They are precious.

I am lucky and fortunate enough that most of my work is bought and go to new homes.

Any other hobbies?

Being a field biologist to my 13-year-old son. Archery, the ocean, paddleboarding, surfing, chess, reading, meditating, yoga, breathing, conversations with my dog Henri, touching moss.

What is your favorite part about living on the Seacoast?

You have everything here — the woods and the ocean. The people are super kind and helpful.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I do not think that far ahead at all. I take each day as it comes. I imagine I will be alive, at peace and feeling grace. Grace is sort of a second wind. I am hoping in 10 years I will be awake, present, gentle and care even more than I do now.

Gear up for fall

OPEN

A few things you need to stay safe and warm

TUES & WEDS AT 3:30 THURS THRU SUNDAY AT NOON MINUTES FROM THE BEACH

With August nearly over, outdoor exercisers are starting to feel that proverbial chill in the air during early morning or late evening runs. The sun is coming up much later and going down earlier, too, which means some of us — myself included — are quite literally in the dark on some of our runs, walks or bike rides.

For those of us who like to get our exercise over and done with to start the day, now is the perfect time to start thinking about gearing up for the fall.

Flashing lights

116309

You definitely need to take into account that it is getting darker earlier every single day. Even now, the sun is going down one full hour earlier than it did in June. I have gotten caught a couple times in the last week running at a time when I expected it to remain brighter than it did. Rye is a classic example, as you can run along the ocean and experience light only to discover that those side roads in the forests are fairly dark. Get a blinking light, which can strap to your clothing or arm and will flash a pulsating light to alert others of your presence. In fact, get a couple of them — they are inexpensive and will keep you safer.

Reflective gear

I actually just recently bought my first reflective shirt — at night, the patterns in my shirt glow. It is pretty cool. You can get vests, too, and armbands. The point is you want to do as much as you can to reveal yourself to drivers. Having reflective gear in addition to a headlamp or blinking light can extend the time you are able to run on the roads and stay safe. As for price point, I suggest getting middle-of-the-road. Too cheap and it will fall apart. Too expensive and you really overpaid, usually based on how something looks rather than how it functions. Find something in the middle to balance durability with aesthetics.

Headlamps

You want others to be able to see you on the road, but you want to be able to see, too.

Headlamps are a good way to shine a light on the path in front of you without having to hold something bulky or uncomfortable in your hands.

Hats and gloves

Yes, now is the time to think about your wardrobe, so when the weather really starts to change you are completely prepared. You will feel more comfortable in your gear if you take the time to find what really works for you. Wait too long and you’ll be left picking through whatever people did not want at the beginning of the fall season.

Gloves are essential when it is chilly, but I do not mean those big, thick, heavy monstrosities one wears while digging out from under the snow. I am talking about running gloves that provide warmth and some dexterity. Some gloves, mine included, have special tips on the fingers that allow you to use your smartphone. Take some time and research gloves and consider getting two pairs with one heavier than the other for when it really gets cold. Lighter gloves are perfect for early mornings in September and October.

A hat is a critical piece of clothing in the fall and winter. A lot of heat gets lost through our heads, so it makes sense to cover them.

Not all hats are created equal, however, as some are intensely thick and scratchy while others are slippery and have a tendency to fall off. Do some research and consider trying on a hat before you purchase it. I have found myself very particular regarding the hats I choose to wear on my runs.

Now go enjoy these cooler mornings and evenings, and time your exercise appropriately. Don’t get left in the dark! — Rob Levey

Q&A’S

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

If you could take a selfie with any U.S. president, who would it it be and why?

Would you accept $1 million if it meant it would rain for the rest of your life?

“Probably Abe Lincoln because he freed the slaves, or George Washington because he was a beast and a very good leader.”

“Yeah dude, my favorite weather is already cloudy without rain so I could handle it. It makes me feel calm, there’s no sun, so a million bucks to do what I already do, that’d be lit.”

CASSIE FERRERIA OF LOWELL, MASS.

If you were a plant in your next life, what would you want to be and why?

“I would probably be a sunflower because they are tall and beautiful and they make people happy.”

CAR TALK

Cloudy windshield often means bad heater core Dear Car Talk: I have a 2015 Yukon XL with a cloudy inside windshield. It looks perfectly clean until the sun or oncoming headlights shine on it. I have tried to wash it with glass

By Ray Magliozzi cleaner, and also plain water. When I go to dry it, it streaks really bad. One time, when I took it in for service, I asked the service representative if the manufacturer had put some kind of film on it.

She said, “It’s coming from the defroster, and there is nothing I can do about it.” The only way I have found to clean it is with a dry cloth. I like to drive with a clean windshield inside and out. No one smokes in my vehicle.

I have been driving for 56 years and have cleaned a lot of windshields. Do you have any ideas? I live in northern Ohio, so I can’t just stop using my defroster. But I hate having to clean my windshield every time I use my defroster. What’s wrong? — Judy Well, these are classic symptoms of a leaking heater core, Judy. But your car seems to be too new to have a bad heater core.

The heater core is a second, small radiator that provides heat to the passenger compartment. When you call for heat, coolant from

the engine circulates through it, then the fan blows over the heater core and transmits heat from that hot coolant, through the vents, to the car’s interior.

But if the heater core is leaking, coolant mist can get blown by the fan, along with the warm air. Coolant is greasy, and guess what it does? It leaves a film.

It also has a sweet taste, but it’s toxic, so I don’t recommend that you give it the taste test. You might want to give it a sniff, though, and see if it smells at all sweet to you.

If you were writing to me about a 2005 Yukon, I’d feel pretty certain that a heater core is what you need. But it’s odd to have one fail on a newer car.

The only other possibility is that the vinyl from the car’s dashboard and interior parts is outgassing. That’s what most of us know as the “new car smell.” But it’s actually the sublimation of vinyl particles into the air, which can leave a film on your windshield, too.

But you say the film appears every time you use the defroster, so I’d have to lean toward a heater core problem. You’re probably still under warranty, Judy, so go back and ask them to fix it. If they say, “It’s related to the defroster,” ask them how. The only way I can think of is that the heater core is leaking coolant, and it’s blowing onto your windshield.

If they have another explanation, write back and let me know what it is. Maybe we can use it to get rid of some of our troublesome customers. Good luck, Judy.

Dear Car Talk: My wife, Mary, has a 2010 Chevy Cobalt.

Recently, she noticed that the fuel gauge indicated more gas than there could have been in the tank. The following week, she took the car to the local dealer. After more than an hour, Mary was given an explanation that she didn’t understand: She was instructed to keep the tank full, and told that the problem might resolve itself. Until this situation arose, the service people had always been very helpful. Mary returned home disheartened, and with an inaccurate fuel gauge. There was no charge for the “help.” Any suggestions? — James Well, that was nice of them not to charge her. But the advice she got was worth exactly what she paid for it.

It sounds like she’s got a bad sending unit. There’s a sensor in the tank that floats up and down along with the level of gasoline. It sends a signal to the fuel gauge, telling the gauge what position it’s in, and therefore how much fuel is in the tank. It sounds like Mary’s sending unit no longer works.

Maybe the dealer thinks the float is stuck, and by filling the tank frequently, Mary might somehow help unstick it. We sometimes do see sending units that fail on and off for a bit when they’re on their last legs.

But eventually they always seem to conk out completely. So if she gets relief, my guess is it probably won’t be long-lived.

The dealer may have just sensed that Mary was feeling financially vulnerable when she came in. He may have noticed the $400 worth of Bull Mastiff Chow she had just purchased in the back seat, and didn’t think she could stomach the estimate for a new sending unit the same day. Unfortunately, making that repair involves a fair amount of labor, because it requires removing the gas tank.

But unless she’s comfortable keeping track of her mileage, filling the tank based on how many miles she’s driven, always driving with a fully charged cellphone and never lending the car to anybody, she probably should get it fixed.

I’d suggest that you go back, James, and ask for a more detailed diagnosis. If they’re sure it’s the sending unit, and Mary plans to keep the car for a while, it’s probably worth spending a few hundred bucks to fix it.

Hampton Beach’s annual singing competition — three nights of free live entertainment — is returning to the Sea Shell Stage from Friday, Aug. 25, through Sunday, Aug. 27.

This year marks the 13th year of the talent competition, which, according to show organizer Glen French, was the original vision of Jack Knox, a musician for the Continentals. French said the idea of a talent show on Hampton Beach actually goes back about 60 or 70 years, when it featured a broader range of talents, but interest dropped off for a while. It has since been revitalized, and now the talent competition is open only to vocalists.

“We ask people to prove to us that they can sing, that they have some vocal talent,” said French.

The competition will be held at 7 p.m. all three nights. Friday night will consist of the semifinals for the junior division, which includes all competitors up to age 18. The semifinals for seniors, 18 plus, will be held on Saturday night. Finally, Sunday night will be the final competition for juniors and seniors.

Applicants to the competition were asked to submit tapes of themselves singing to be considered by a panel of judges or to audition live on Aug. 6 and be evaluated by the same panel of judges. According to French, there were 106 applicants for the contest this year and 41 were chosen, 21 in the senior division and 20 in the junior division. Once these competitors complete the semifinals, 12 singers in each division will be invited to the finals on Sunday and will be required to sing a new song for the final show.

From the final competition, a panel of judges will choose six winners in total, three from each division. The first-place winners are each awarded $1,000, the second-place winners $500 and the third-place winners $300. The funding for all of these prizes comes from the Hampton Beach Village District. According to French, the judges are very serious about choosing quality entertainers as winners.

“The primary goal is to have someone that can sing,” French noted. “We’re interested in their voice first. After that, we’re looking for stage presence and essentially their ability to present themselves in Hampton Beach Talent Competition

a way that is good, wholesome, family entertainment.”

The competition includes a wide range of music to accommodate the many tastes of the audience.

“There is no one style that’s preferred. It varies from opera to country to rock ’n’ roll; there’s no limitation on it,” said French.

The event is free and open to the public to watch. Audience members can even sway the judge’s decisions.

“If the audience likes someone and they have the vocal ability to match, then that counts,” French said.

French said that in the end the show really is about providing entertainment for the guests of Hampton Beach. In addition to entertainment, though, the competition has provided an opportunity for growth for

many of the singers involved. The show organizer has seen many performers return year after year and improve in the process.

“It’s kind of fun, to watch each of them mature and improve in their stage presence and their comfort on stage, their ability to adjust,” French said. “You watch them mature and it’s like welcoming old friends back on stage.”

French is confident that the talent competition will be just as impressive and entertaining this year and will attract a substantial audience.

“I’m excited about the fact that the event always seems to go well, I’m very impressed with the quality of the competition and contestants; it’s a wonderful show and the audience responds in kind.”

be at the fifth annual Dover Mini Maker Faire at the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover on Saturday, Aug. 26.

The fair will feature creations from more than 65 makers from around New England. As the only licensed Maker Faire in the state, it’s expected to see roughly 1,600 attendees, according to museum Communications Director Neva Cole.

Booths will be set up for individual makers and organizations that support engineering and design.

“Some are nonprofits; others are individual makers who have something going on in their garage that they have been working on for a really long time and they want to share,” Cole said.

Many of the makers will allow visitors to interact with their work and ask them about their process.

James Matthew is a maker from Vermont who built his own version of the Segway after becoming fascinated with the transportation technology. Using information online and his own mechanical engineering experience, Matthew re-created the accelerator and gyroscope technology for his own transportation unit, which will be on display at the fair.

“It’s one of those things where I’ve always wanted to make it, but now that it’s built I don’t really know what to do with

it,” Matthew said.

Matthew said he is not sure yet whether he will let people ride his transportation unit or whether he will give demonstrations himself, but either way he wants to share his project’s story with any curious makers.

J Fitzpatrick is a maker and high school principal who decided he wanted to create a conversation-themed card game. Players are given a set of cards with words and phrases on them like “hello,” “not my problem,” “I love you,” “I appreciate you” and “it’s not me, it’s you.”

Once a player has been handed a card, the card is theirs to use on someone else.

The use of the cards could include goodnatured banter between coworkers, quiet gestures with loved ones and interactions with a complete stranger.

“The goal was to create an opportunity for people to interact with each other without their phones,” Fitzpatrick said.

The fair will be the first time Fitzpatrick has used the cards outside of his friend group, and he is hoping people will be interested and share their ideas with him.

“I’m looking forward to being ... around other creative people,” Fitzpatrick said.

If you hear loud, robotic music at the fair, chances are it is coming from an electric coil music device from oneTesla.

Marissa Dupont, chief operating officer of oneTesla, said the 1-foot-tall electric coil can make any song into an electric performance.

“They are pretty loud, and we usually gather a big crowd,” Dupont said.

The coil accelerates the electricity from an outlet to create powerful volt-

age bursts of music, according to Dupont.

The project started on kickstarter.com as the brainchild of two MIT students, Heidi Baumgartner and Bayley Wang. It’s now available as a kit that welding and electronics hobbyists can use to build and play their favorite songs.

The fair will be spread out over the upper and lower sections of Henry Law Park and at 1 Washington Road, across the river from the museum.

Cole said Ghostbusters and pirates will be spotted walking around the fair this year after last year’s Star Wars Stormtroopers were a success.

“Because it’s such a family-oriented event, we definitely encourage people to come dressed however they want,” said Cole.

The Maker Faire will also feature food — some of which is especially fitting for the event. SubZero of Nashua uses liquid nitrogen to freeze ice cream in seconds, so the process is also a lesson in chemistry, Cole said.

Educational workshops on engineering, physics and coffee-tasting will be held throughout the day inside the museum.

How long has Seacoast Soups been around?

We opened four years ago, so March of 2013. I started doing a home delivery soup business with family and friends and I had an email list of about 30 people and it kind of just kept growing and growing so finally I needed a real establishment.

So I opened up the shop. I started myself for about three months and we were so busy my husband quit his job and joined me.

What do you think makes Seacoast Soups unique?

I’m from California so I feel like I was used to a more culturally diverse palate.

When I moved here I was kind of surprised at the lack of ethnic foods you could get, so a lot of our stuff — like spicy Thai is one of our most popular soups. We do a lot of Asian flavors [and] Latin flavors and I think that draws people in because it’s things that they normally wouldn’t try.

a few are Middle Eastern recipes that I’ve adapted through the years.

What is your personal favorite dish?

I don’t know — it changes every day.

The spicy Thai is delicious. We have a cheddar ale that’s really yummy. It kind of changes day to day; some days I just want salad, some days I want soup.

What dish do you recommend everyone try?

If you are adventurous, the spicy Thai.

That and our chicken noodle are our two most popular. A lot of people use the word ‘addicted’ when they talk about the spicy Thai, so I think if you can handle heat, that’s a good one to kind of branch out because you are not really going to find something like that around. It has ginger, shallots, red curry, coconut milk, peanuts, Mung Mee noodles. So it’s gluten-free [and] dairy-free, which is also a big hit with people.

What is an essential skill when running a restaurant?

Well, I think where we have been lucky is we have hired really good people. I pay above what I think is the standard because I want to keep people happy and I want to treat them well. And just being friendly and wanting people to like your food and wanting them to leave happy.

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

Could it be my grandmother? She never got a chance to eat any of my food so I’d like to serve her some.

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

I feel like we are pretty conveniently located and people can get to us easily. We get a lot of people in the summer that are visiting for the beaches and they still stop in and they’re surprised that we’re not just soups.

Chicken Parmesan is one of my favorite dishes, but it’s more labor-intensive than I would like for a weeknight dinner. So when I found this recipe for a chicken Parmesan casserole that only required about 7 minutes of active prep time, I had to try it.

While chicken Parmesan is delicious, one of my least favorite things to do is dredge and bake chicken, which ends up killing my motivation to make the traditional version of the dish. But chopping up some chicken, mixing it with sauce and cheese and topping it with breadcrumbs and basil is a breeze.

I used to get made fun of in college for boiling chicken, but it’s one of my favorite shortcuts for dishes requiring pre-cooked chicken, such as chicken salad or this casserole. After boiling for just a few minutes (time varies depending on the size and cut of chicken), the chicken is fully cooked and ready to be tossed into whatever you’re making. For this recipe, I boiled the chicken breasts until they were just under fully cooked, as I didn’t want the chicken to get dry or chewy once baked. Alternatively, you could just as easily use a store-bought rotisserie chicken to start this dish.

Other than the chicken, this dish was very pantry-friendly. Pasta sauce, panko breadEveryday Chicken Parmesan Casserole Recipe Adapted from Delish 4 cups chicken breast, cooked and shredded 1 (28-ounce) jar marinara 8 ounces mozzarella, shredded 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan 1 cup panko bread crumbs (with Italian seasoning) 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

crumbs, basil, red pepper flakes and some cheese rounded out the list of ingredients.

Each bite of the casserole is reminiscent of traditional chicken Parmesan; plus, with all the ingredients mixed together, you don’t run the risk of getting a bite with too little sauce or cheese. Every forkful of this casserole was moist and flavorful, to the point where most of it went straight from the casserole dish to my husband’s mouth instead of to a plate.

The panko breadcrumbs (I used ones with Italian seasonings) added the perfect amount of crunch, and the saltiness from the cheese blended nicely with the trace amounts of heat from the red pepper flakes.

The basil on top of the casserole, however, may have been my favorite aspect of the dish, as it added a fresh element and kept the dish from ever presenting a boring bite.

This simple casserole was great and filling on its own, but could easily be served over spaghetti for a heartier meal. Likewise, leftovers served in a fresh Italian sandwich roll or with a side salad are perfect for lunch the next day. Overall, this dish packed all the flavor of chicken Parmesan but without any of the hassle.

— Lauren Mifsud 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 2 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh basil Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine cooked and shredded chicken, marinara sauce, cheese, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Spread evenly into an 8x8 baking dish. In a small microwavesafe bowl, melt butter. Toss breadcrumbs in butter to coat, and then spread evenly over chicken mixture. Sprinkle with basil (you can do this before or after baking). Bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 25 to 30 minutes.

DRINK

Pilsner power

Is the “beer-tasting beer” making a comeback?

Several years ago, my brother and I scoffed at my father as he chose a “Golden Pilsner” by Mayflower Brewing. In so many words, the sentiment we conveyed was, “A pilsner? Really?” as if there was something wrong with that choice, something somehow unbecoming of a true beer drinker.

Look, I was going through a phase and I’m embarrassed. There’s nothing wrong with a pilsner. In fact, the pilsner is the consummate, well, beer.

“I like to call it the beer-tasting beer,” said Brian Dalke, sales manager at Moat Mountain Brewing Co. in North Conway, in reference to Moat Mountain’s Czech Pilsner. “This is what a beer should taste like.”

Still, I would argue that “Oh man, you have to try this pilsner” is not among the phrases you have heard in recent years.

People probably urged you to try doubleand triple-dry-hopped IPAs and bourbon barrel-aged stouts. Pilsners? No. It seems pilsners developed something of a stigma among craft beer enthusiasts, probably due to the proliferation of the pilsner by America’s giant beer producers — looking at you, Anheuser-Busch. This is not to say a Budweiser or a Miller Lite or Coors Banquet Beer is bad, but the style had become ubiquitous. The pilsner wasn’t unique in a sea of interesting and increasingly complex craft beer options. The pilsner was boring. But it never stopped tasting like beer.

Originating in the Czech Republic, the pilsner is typically a lighter brew characterized by a bright, citrusy burst and a crisp finish. It’s pleasing, easy to drink, and completely unoffensive in every way. Everyone should be drinking pilsners. (I owe my father and Mayflower an apology.)

Today, as brewers load beers with pounds and pounds of the hoppiest hops they can find, some brewers are seeing something of a movement back to simplicity, back to lower alcohol contents, and back to beer that simply tastes like beer.

“People ask, ‘Did you dry hop it? Did you use nontraditional hops?’” said Brian Parda of Great North Aleworks in ManWhat’s in My Fridge

chester, which brewed the “Northbound Pilsner” as its summer seasonal brew this year. “Hops are not the star of the beer. The beer is about balance. There’s a familiarity to it, but it’s so much more satisfying than the mass-produced options.”

At Moat Mountain, the Czech Pilsner is the best seller, both on draft and in cans. On the Seacoast, beer drinkers can enjoy a traditional pilsner called “Stephen Urquell” at the Portsmouth Brewery.

More and more, pilsners are filling a void in the craft brewing scene.

“Brewers are realizing there can be a barrier to entry for those who are maybe not sure about the craft movement,” said C.J. White, executive director of the Granite State Brewers Association.

“You have a domestic beer drinker who wants to drink something local … a locally made pilsner is an easy transition to the craft beer world,” Dalke added. “From there, I’m hoping they’ll try other things.”

Along with tasting like beer, pilsners are typically lower in alcohol and lighter in body, meaning you can have a few and not get completely bogged down. Also, a pilsner is a great option with food, as it does not overpower the flavor of the food, Parda said. It’s comfortable sitting in the background, refreshing and pleasing your palate, without taking away from the dish at hand.

The pilsner isn’t new. It’s decidedly old.

“It’s sort of a return to the beginning,” Parda said.

Next time you see a locally brewed pilsner, try it and appreciate its crisp, refreshing, slightly tart and citrusy flavor. Like Parda said, it will be familiar. It will also be much, much better than the pilsners you used to drink in numbers during college.

Also, it will taste like beer.

A Woman’s Place Is at the Top: A Biography of Annie Smith Peck, Queen of the Climbers, by Hannah Kimberley (St. Martin’s Press, 347 pages)

Queen of the climbers? More like queen of the gig economy!

Of the 1900s!

You probably haven’t heard of Annie Smith Peck, but your grandparents or great-grandparents would have. The Rhode Island native made a name for herself nationwide in the early 20th century by setting mountain-climbing records in the Andes and giving talks about her expeditions. She worked Kickstarter-style, drumming up funds to pay for gear and travel expenses and rewarding her patrons with exclusive articles or lectures about her journeys — and in her later years, in-show advertising.

Only she had to write her fundraising pleas on paper with a pen. In cursive.

You might think there’d already be a biography or two about this trailblazing mountain-climber and suffragist, but it has fallen to Massachusetts’ Hannah Kimberley to write the first, and she’s made it a brisk read.

Growing up in a well-to-do family in Providence, Annie Peck had always desired to excel in the model of her three older brothers. She wanted to support herself rather than depend on a husband, and she envisioned becoming a well-paid professor or a high school principal (as two of her brothers did). However, just as Peck’s family thought it a matter of course that the boys would attend college, they thought it a matter of course that Annie would not.

Where her parents fell short in supporting her ambitions, high school teachers stepped in, and when a new teachers college opened in Providence she enrolled, paying her own way with money she’d earned giving piano lessons and substitute teaching. This still wasn’t enough to land her her dream job, so at 24, again over family objections, she entered the University of Michigan, which had recently begun to admit women. (She tried for Brown, but Want to see your photo in the Scene?

they said no girls.) She graduated with honors, went on to earn a master’s degree, and finally scored a teaching job at young Purdue University in Indiana.

Where, it turned out, she hated the weather, she hated the cost of living, and she was always tired.

Just over 30 years old, she took a refreshing vacation in the Adirondacks and did her first real climbing. A seed was planted.

Using her college connections, she next attended the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, the first woman to do so, and climbed as many Greek mountains as she could in conjunction with her studies.

Back from Europe, educated and experienced to the hilt, she hoped to become a classics professor at a coed school. The best she could score was a job at womenonly Smith College.

Now in her 40s, she began to carve her own path by giving lectures on her areas of expertise, mainly Latin and Greek archaeology. Buoyed by letters of recommendation from former professors, she quickly went from speaking at ladies luncheons to addressing college crowds, art clubs and the National Geographic Society.

“At this rate,” Kimberley writes, “Annie could teach ten classes and equal her annual salary at Smith or Purdue in just a few months.”

It was not long before she put together her love of climbing and her lecturing skills. Rather than continue giving the same talks on Greek history she’d given for years, she needed to branch out. So Annie Peck set her sights on being the first

person to climb Huascaran in Peru, and began seeking sponsors.

They gave freely at first, but after two attempts failed due to weather and reluctant guides, things changed. She asked a brother for money for a third go; he said, in not so many words, “Get a real job, here’s $5 for Christmas.”

She sent the $5 back. It took five tries and it cost a Swiss guide his hand (frostbite), but she got to the top, making headlines and money.

Her next project became a race against Hiram Bingham — possibly the inspiration for Indiana Jones; Kimberley asserts that he was, and calls him “possibly even more self-involved than Annie” — to be the first to summit Coropuna in Peru. Bingham was a man who did not think women should be out scaling mountains, so, though he may have gone 250 feet higher in the end (they scaled different peaks), there was a small triumph in Annie’s planting a flag on Coropuna that read “Joan of Arc Equal Suffrage League — Votes for Women.”

The biography winds down with Annie in her 70s, still lecturing but now focused on women’s suffrage and commerce between North and South America. She pitched the idea to some government officials of her being an ambassador to a South American country, but, what with her being female, that idea went nowhere.

Kimberley notes, “Peck wanted to have a book written about her. She wrote her own biographical notes … assuming that her first biographer might use them.” To the reader’s benefit, Kimberley leans more heavily on Peck’s letters and diaries and contemporaneous news reports. This a biography, not a thriller, but it stays lively and relatable throughout. A — Lisa Parsons

NITE

Home for the hungry

Nth Power tops benefit concert at Smuttynose As bass player of funk-fusion-soul supergroup Nth Power, Nate Edgar has toured the world and stood on many big stages, but he’s a local kid in his soul. Born and raised in Hampton, Edgar came to prominence in the late 1990s with Groovechild, a band he recently rejoined, and later anchored the rhythm section for reggae stalwarts John Brown’s Body for many years.

But a show like the Gather to End Hunger Festival on Aug. 27 at Smuttynose Brewery can give Edgar butterflies.

“It’s so funny … I’ve played in front of so many people and it’s like cool, let’s just rip,” he said in a recent phone interview. “For some reason, playing in my hometown gets me the most nervous, more than anywhere in the world.”

The benefit for Seacoast Family Food Pantry stars Nth Power and two bands Edgar has known since starting out in music, Rustic Overtones and Truffle.

“My college band opened for Rustic Overtones a bunch … amazing songwriters and killer musicians,” he said, adding that Truffle bandleader Dave Gerard offered encouragement early on. ”I think that was the first time that somebody on the scene was older than me that took the time to hang out for a bit.”

Edgar is glad to support the cause.

“With everything that’s happening around the world and the country it’s easy to forget about hungry people and hardships in our own community,” he said.

“It’s pretty amazing to see Smuttynose Gather to End Hunger Festival When: Sunday, Aug. 27, 1 p.m.

Where: Smuttynose Brewery, 105 Towle Farm Road, Hampton.

Tickets: $25 in advance at eventbrite. com or 436-0641, or $30 day of show.

volunteer their spot and have that business support a group of people that are trying to put food in people’s mouths, [and] to be happening half a mile from where I grew up is pretty significant to me, pretty awesome.”

It’s the first stateside show in a while for Nth Power, who will return from Italy just in time to play. Edgar has kept busy throughout the summer, though, working on a tribute to late hip-hop producer J Dilla with Borahm Lee (Break Science, Pretty Lights), Daru Jones of Jack White’s

band and Tedeschi Trucks Band trumpet player Maurice “Mobetta” Brown.

He also took up bass lessons with Felix Pastorius.

“I have just started to hear different things that I couldn’t play and there was some holes in my knowledge,” Edgar said. He’s known the son of late jazz legend Jaco Pastorius for 18 years. “He’s just a rippin’ bass player; he’s taken his dad’s music and carried it on. It’s hard taking lessons with him, so it was my focus to take the summer off and work with him.”

Jaco was Edgar’s first hero, introduced to him by his music teacher at Hampton’s Sacred Heart High School.

“I went to him wanting to play with a pick ... Guns ‘n Roses, some Jimi Hendrix, and he said, ‘You’re not gonna play with a pick,’” Edgar said.

Instead, he handed him two jazz tapes; one was Pastorius’s first solo record.

To the young aspirant, the music sounded like bottom-heavy guitar shredding.

“I came back after and said, ‘Dude, I don’t hear the bass.’ He said, ‘That instrument you’re hearing is the bass.’ And that really turned me on.”

Edgar joined Nth Power when it formed in 2012. In 2015, vocalist and keyboard player Nigel Hall abruptly left, citing “business” reasons for his departure. Last November the band released Live to Be Free, its first record with new member Courtney J Mell Smith. The collection of originals was recorded live.

“The material came together really quickly, and we recorded it without doing the whole road test thing ... playing it out,” Edgar said. “So it was really fresh when we went and recorded it live, which was like a thrill. It was more like inviting a crowd into a recording session … an exciting and a unique way to do a record.”

A highlight of the disc is “Truth,” an upbeat song that name-checks Gil-Scott Heron and contains a call to activism.

“Our mission as a band has always been … trying to spread light through the darkness and spread positivity and individualism and cohesiveness,” Edgar said.

“We could have an easier time doing it, but we chose the harder path of being more of a socially conscious band, trying to deliver a message of peace [and] possibly give the people what they need now more than ever.”

The Adair family of Deerfield Beach, Florida, were startled awake on July 15 by the sound of something meaty crashing onto their roof. When they investigated, they found two packages of Italian pork sausage in the side yard, and three more packages still on the roof. The sausages were in bags marked with the name of a land-clearing company in Alabama. Austin Adair called the company to inquire about the wayward sausages, but “the guy had no idea what I was talking about and probably thought I was crazy,” he said, and the mystery remains unsolved. “I would love to know what really happened,” said Jennie Adair, “because it’s just so, so odd.”

• Summers are hot in Lawrence, Kansas, and Christopher Steven Carlson, 34, of Riley took advantage of the warm temperatures on July 30 to stroll down a sidewalk in the busy college town in his birthday suit twice. Police first arrested Carlson around 2 p.m. in downtown Lawrence for indecent exposure, after which he paid his $500 fine and was released. He caught a taxi from the Douglas County Jail back to the downtown area, where he stiffed the driver, left his clothes in the car and resumed his in-thebuff constitutional. Local business owner Meg Heriford said: “Our customers were not alarmed. It was more like, ‘Hey, there’s a naked guy.’”

• Nakedness does leave one a bit vulnerable, as Travis Tingler, 32, found out on July 16 as he stood unclothed outside his girlfriend’s house in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, shouting and threatening to hurt the people inside. When police arrived, they tried and failed to get Tingler back into his pants, so they handcuffed him. As they struggled to put him in the police car, Tingler picked up a lighter off the ground, and a probe from an officer’s stun gun struck the lighter, igniting Tingler’s chest and beard hairs. An officer was able to pat the fire out.

• Nudity, like everything else, is more fun when you can share it with friends.

Or so it appeared to drivers along route A66 in Workington, Cumbria, in England, who spied four “shame-faced” men walking along the road wearing nothing but sneakers on July 30. The four “protected their modesty with cupped hands” and appeared to be walking quickly, according to Kathryn Lynn, 50, who drove by with her husband and daughter and snapped a photo of the odd group. “It was a bit of a shock to see,” she said.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, the Spartans of Vincent T. Lombardi Middle School won’t be playing football this year because of a lack of coaches. Jim Van Abel, principal of the school named after the revered coach of the Green Bay Packers, told parents in a letter that the district had been advertising for coaching positions since April, to no avail.

PET OF THE WEEK Ranger is a handsome, high-energy, 4-year-old Terrier mix. He, like many homeless dogs who enter the shelter, has not had proper leash training or basic command training. Ranger is very bright and is making progress with the staff here at the shelter. He recently had a field trip to the beach and was great in the car and was very well behaved. He was just as happy as can be to be spending time outside his kennel. His excitement and energy would fit perfectly into an active lifestyle.

If there are children in his forever home, they should be at least teen-aged. Ranger seems fine with other dogs he has met here at the shelter and would love to come home with you! As always our adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip and up to date vaccines and flea/ tick preventatives, as well as three complementary behavior and training sessions with our certified trainers.
