Wow, what a weekend! Summer paid us a visit and we in New England will take it — after all, winter is coming. Even as it starts to cool back down to normal seasonal temperatures, Larry Marsolais make sure you get out and do something right now before fall is just a memory. Even though the beaches are slowly closing and the tourists are leaving, there are still many businesses that stay open all year. These places rely on locals, so please give them your support. This week’s cover story is all about how and why these businesses stick around, and we’ve included a list of some of the restaurants, retail shops and service places that stay open
year-round so you don’t have to search far if you’re looking for a non-seasonal eatery or store. I have to give a big shout out to Hampton Rotary, which I am a member of. We are just finishing our fundraising events, which are mostly in September, and it was an incredible month. As a co-chairman for one of these events I think I can speak for the entire group of chairmen: Thank you, members, families, friends and everyone else who helped us. One more Rotary event is coming up (see page 37!). As always feel free to call me anytime at 603-935-5096 to discuss local issues or to place an ad. Larry Marsolais is the general manager of the Seacoast Scene and the former president of the Hampton Rotary Club.

Tuesday night out
Lighthouse discussion and an author talk at local libraries The Hampton Falls Free Library has received a grant from New Hampshire Humanities to present New England Lighthouses and the People Who Kept Them with Jeremy D’Entremont on Tuesday, Oct. 3, at 6:30 p.m. at the Hampton Falls Free Library. Our early nation was built on a maritime economy, and lighthouses were part of the system that made that economy possible. Due to automation, traditional lighthousekeeping is a way of life that has faded into the past. Jeremy D’Entremont tells the history of New England’s historic and picturesque lighthouses, focusing on the colorful and dramatic stories of lighthouse keepers and their families. D’Entremont is the official historian of the American Lighthouse Foundation and the founder of Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses. He has lectured and narrated cruises from Maine to California, and his photographs have appeared in many books and magazines. The program is free and open to the public. At 6 p.m., a cider and donut reception will precede the Lighthouse program.
Author Brunonia Barry will be at the Salisbury Public Library to talk about her book The Fifth Petal on Tuesday, Oct. 3, at 6 p.m. Barry returns to the world of The Lace Reader with this spellbinding new thrill-
er, a complex brew of suspense, seduction and murder. When a teenage boy dies suspicious ly on Halloween night, Salem’s chief of police, John Rafferty, now married to gifted lace reader Towner Whitney, wonders if there is a connection between his death and Salem’s most notorious cold case, a triple homicide dubbed “The Goddess Murders,” in which three young women, all descended from accused Salem witches, were slashed on Halloween night in 1989. He finds unexpected help in Callie Cahill, the daughter of one of the victims newly returned to town. Neither believes that the main suspect, Rose Whelan, respected local historian, is guilty of murder or witchcraft. But exonerating Rose might mean crossing paths with a dangerous force. Were the women victims of an all-too-human vengeance, or was the devil raised in Salem that night? And if they cannot discover what truly happened, will evil rise again? The Salisbury Public Library is at 17 Elm St., Salisbury. Call 978-465-5071 for more information.
a two-week period every fall that we have clear skies every night.” In addition to seasonal weather patterns, there are other factors you should keep in mind when taking part in a Skywatch. The NHAS advises attendees to dress warmly and to not bring flashlights as they will be providing proper lighting. They also caution to avoid excessive cellphone use. “After about 30 minutes of being in the dark, human night vision becomes about 1,000 times more keen,” said Winalski, “One flash from a bright light can destroy that night vision.” All ages are invited to participate in the Skywatch, and it is beginner-friendly. The event is meant to expand the astronomical knowledge of those attending, but it is ultimately organized to be a
unique and memorable experience. “From past observation everyone enjoys their time spent looking at the sky,” said Mazur. “When people come together around such an event, there’s a real energy that comes from it.” Winalski added, “It’s one thing to read about stars, planets and galaxies, but nothing can replace the thrill of seeing these far-away objects with your own eyes.” Admission to the Skywatch is free, but donations are accepted. In the case of inclement weather, the Skywatch will be held on Friday, Oct. 9. For inquires about the event, you can call Lane Memorial Library at 603-926-3368.

October sky
Local library hosts NHAS Skywatch If you’re having trouble finding something positive about the skies getting darker earlier and earlier, there’s a chance you might gain an appreciation for the beauty of nightfall during Lane Memorial Library’s third annual Skywatch. On Thursday, Oct. 5, the library will partner with the New Hampshire Astronomical Society and welcome the community to learn about space and astronomy. Starting at 7 p.m., members of the NHAS will give a presentation on the stars in the library’s Lane Room and will then lead everyone outside on the lawn for the Skywatch. Attendees will be taught how to use professional-quality telescopes and will be able to examine the moon and certain planets and constellations. “Who hasn’t looked up at the stars and
wondered what they are? We’ve all traced the handle of the Big Dipper and peered as hard as we can, trying to make out the craters of the moon,” librarian Stacy Mazur said. “The night sky holds a unique and captivating mystique.” Although the library will not be hosting the Skywatch at North Beach as it’s done for other Skywatch events, this viewing has the potential to be more impressive than those that were held in August. According to NHAS member Paul Winalski, the fall is a great time of year for observing celestial objects. “Ideal weather conditions are dry, cloudless skies with no wind. There tends to be less moisture in the air in the colder months, but then again it’s more often overcast in the winter,” said Winalski. “I’ve noticed that there tends to be about

use dim, red lights on the observing field.
• Buy a book of sky charts such as H. A. Rey’s The Stars: A New Way to See Them or Turn Left at Orion or a planisphere, which is a night sky chart you can set for any arbitrary • Try to find a place with good horizon views time of day or year. and away from artificial lighting. If possible SEACOAST SCENE | SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 4, 2017 | PAGE 6
• If there are particular objects in the sky you wish to observe, you have to do so at the right time of the year when that object is in the night sky. For example, you can’t observe Orion or Gemini in June because we face them in the daytime that time of year. Similarly, you can’t observe Sagittarius in the winter.
• A full moon is not that great for observing, because the sunlight is falling straight onto it and there aren’t many shadows to highlight the craters and mountains. However, a full moon is the best time to see the rays from big craters such as Tycho.

By Rob Levey While the Seacoast is most populated in the weeks that fall roughly between Memorial Day and Labor Day, there are plenty of people who call the coast home all year long — and a surprising number of restaurants and retail establishments that remain open through the winter months to cater to all those locals as well as the out-of-towners who like to trek out to the beach no matter the weather. So while these coastal towns are certainly quieting down and many businesses have closed up shop until spring, others are transitioning enthusiastically to the “off-season.”
Busy all year long
“Our customer base is primarily local, so it’s not a tourism-based business,” said Linda Quinn, owner of HOME:ReNewed in Hampton. Having just opened in July, HOME:ReNewed is a 4,000-square-foot retail store with a strong emphasis on furniture consignments. “We currently have about 100 consigners — all of them local,” she said. “We help people recycle their home furnishings and home décor pieces.” Quinn said business has continued to pick up, too. “We’ve been growing each month,” she said. “Since July, our sales have increased
SEACOAST SCENE | SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 4, 2017 | PAGE 8
each month, so I’ve been very pleased. It’s basically been better than I expected, considering it is a fairly new concept for home furnishings in this particular area.” According to Bruce Cultrera, owner of Seacoast Helicopters in Portsmouth, their business is composed of several market segments, with sightseeing tourists just one component. “There’s also a lot of local people who love to fly and see the region after it snows. Fall foliage is a big thing,” he said. “People come to us for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day — and those are all offseason occasions.”
Tourists often return in the winter, too, Cultrera said. “These helicopters are state of the art. They’re air-conditioned and heated, so it may be cold and blustery outside, but it’s nice and warm inside the helicopter,” he said. “We made the decision to keep that part of the business going year-round and it’s worked out really well.” Seacoast Helicopters also has a flight school as well as a charter business where they take people to business meetings in New York, Vermont, Connecticut and other states. “We also get an occasional call for some utility work and we service cell towers, microwave towers, things like that,” 10
Open year-round These businesses are located right on the coast and stay open throughout the year.

8 he said. “For all those reasons ... right out of the gate, we determined we were going to be year-round.” At The Old Salt Restaurant in Hampton, Executive Chef and co-owner Mike Higgins said they have always stayed open, although they have not always been in the same location. “We started our business 30 years ago on the beach — we were one of the few restaurants that were open year-round,” he said. “At first, there was a bit of a struggle, because we opened in August of 1986 at the tail end of summer and going into winter. It was a soft opening and we had five or six family members running everything, so we didn’t need a whole lot of outside staff.” He said things became quite busy in subsequent years in all four seasons until a fire destroyed the building. Re-opening in their current location on Route 1 in 2001, The Old Salt became the only full-service restaurant on Route 1 from Portsmouth to Newburyport. “We have full breakfast, lunch and dinner,” Higgins said. “The full-service restaurant has a dining room, lounge and function room, so once the tourist season gets over, we actually do a lot of catering because it’s getting to be peak catering.” He said they are in fact “straight out with in-house functions” from Thanksgiving well into winter. “There’s really no break,” he said. “I like to say I know what time of year it is when I switch kitchens. We have different people in charge of different sections — you have your prep cooks, your function cooks, and you move them around to cover whatever you need depending on the season.” Tracey Dewhurst, owner of Victoria’s Kitchen on Route 1 in Hampton, said business is pretty consistent for her, too. “You have a lot of locals, many of whom move to the beach for the winter,” she said. “A lot of people are retiring to the beach, so you have a lot of year-round homes and a lot of condos. There’s a clientele there you have to draw them. Plus, you have all the people who come down on the weekends.” Dewhurst also owns Victoria Inn Bed & Breakfast and Pavilion in Hampton. She said she believes in staying open yearround based on her experience as owner of La Bec Rouge in Hampton Beach (which now operates as Bernie’s Beach Bar). “I think it’s good for the beach,” she said. “I always wanted to do it partly for my employees, partly to give the beach some life — and to me, if you could break even in the winter, it was a win-win. You could maintain the stability of the business, the hours of the employees, keep your staff working.” At Chris’s Cards & Comics in Seabrook, owner Chris Morse said the fall and winter

is when their core group of customers will stop in the shop. “These are people that are coming in every week or every other week,” he said. “Once you get into the spring, if you get a beautiful day or beautiful stretch of days, we have a lot of people that will drive down, say within an hour, for day trips to the beach and they could stop in, too.” At Portsmouth’s Albacore Park, which features the USS Albacore — a research submarine designed by the Navy to test experimental features used in modern submarines — business remains fairly busy. “We can still see 40 to 80 people each day,” said Executive Director Jim Craig, who noted they remain open on the weekends in January and February. “Folks come here in the winter because nothing else is open — the offerings are few and far between,” he added. “We have made a point to be open and give folks something to do.” Location helps, too. “For a lot of people, this is the first place they hit when they come to Portsmouth — it’s a quirk in geography,” he said. “Because of this, we consider ourselves much more than a museum that tells the story of a submarine. We are a de facto visitor center and have rack cards from all kinds of places. We are also a member of the New Hampshire Heritage Museum Trail, so we represent those museums, too.” Craig said he also feels business in the winter remains steady to some extent because of the overall growth of Portsmouth and the Seacoast region. “Portsmouth has definitely been discovered,” he said. “Looking at numbers, we used to have 20 to 40 visitors in July in the ’90s and we now have 300. … The clientele is international. There are a lot of Europeans and Australians. We even had someone from the Singaporean Navy visit this year.”

trees, it’s beautiful…. It’s exciting to go outside on a cold, crisp day, climb into a nice, warm helicopter, and see things from a different perspective.” He said another “cool thing” to see, if you can time it right, is snow on the beach. “Most people don’t think about that, but if it’s snowing and it’s low tide, there’s going to be snow on the beach,” he said. “That’s rare and it’s beautiful.” This will be the first winter in business for HOME: ReNewed. “I think wintertime is when people start spending more time in their homes,” Quinn said. “They’re thinking about redecorating, they’re doing projects, redoing their living room or dining room. … I do know that fall is typically a very good time of year in the furniture business — people are redecorating for the holidays, looking for new pieces

10 establishment. She cited a variety of other practical reasons behind why people stay there in the winter. “It’s amazing how many people come to the area because they have to — a death in the family, they’re traveling for the holidays to be with family, they’re coming to check their cottage and need a place to stay,” she said. She said she also offers a variety of discounts and special deals in the winter. One example is a romance package in which a guest can rent the entire house for $1,000 each night. “You can bring 30 people, take all the rooms and it’s a great deal,” she said. According to Cultrera, there is nothing quite like flying a helicopter in the winter. “I love flying after a big, heavy snowfall,” he said. “When the snow’s on the

and generally focusing more on improving the inside of their home.” Expecting solid business in her first winter, Quinn said she feels the furniture consignment industry in general is poised for significant growth and cited “a big demand” locally. “There are a lot of people in this area that are downsizing and others giving stuff to the Salvation Army or selling it themselves, so there aren’t a lot of options out there,” she said. “I can tell you right now that we get 20 or more inquiries every few days from people looking to place items.” In contrasting business between the summer and winter, Dewhurst acknowledged the pace is indeed a bit slower in these next few months, which suits her fine. “You get to revamp your summer programs,” she said. “It’s just a nice time to kind of regroup.” She said winter is also a chance to take stock of the natural beauty of the region, which sometimes gets lost in the hoopla of the summer. “I think the beach is beautiful yearround,” Dewhurst said. “If you love the beach, you’ll love it when there’s not a lot of people around. I definitely do.” While Dewhurst admitted that she used to not particularly care for winters on the Seacoast, she has grown quite fond of the colder months. “It’s quiet, it’s peaceful, and I think the community is strong because everybody knows each other and helps each other out,” she said. “Even up here at the Inn, winter gives you a chance to kind of get to know your neighbors, get to know your employees.”
Help wanted?
For many businesses that stay open in the winter, hiring help does not present any special sort of challenge. “We obviously bring in some staff during the summer, but a lot of them are college students who come back sometimes for four years,” said Higgins at The Old Salt. “Even though they’re seasonal help, they’re not inexperienced seasonal help,
and we have a couple dozen employees who’ve been with us for 25 or 30 years.” At Seacoast Helicopters, staff does not change at all just because the seasons change. “Our philosophy is that if we bring somebody on, we’re going to keep them busy all year round, not just during the summer time,” said Cultrera. “Our staffing doesn’t really change.” For Dewhurst, though, at Victoria’s Kitchen and Victoria Inn Bed & Breakfast and Pavilion, the hiring process is somewhat challenging year-round. “Everyone is looking in the summer, so there’s more competition for good employees,” she said. “In the winter, all the foreign students leave. A lot of people leave. People go to Florida, people who have summer rentals go back home. Hampton isn’t a huge community to draw from, so you have to be creative in terms of how you find and keep employees.” But for Morse at Chris’s Cards & Comics, winter presents no hiring challenges at all. “There’s basically zero change,” he said. “The staff is the same 12 months out of the year.” At The Old Salt, Higgins said he tends to view the winter as a great time to fine-tune anything, perform repairs and gear up for the next season. What he doesn’t have is a big staff turnover. “Usually, we’ve got staff that’s been with us for quite some time, so you don’t have a lot of inexperience,” he said. “It could almost run itself because of the quality of staff we have here.” Albacore Park is a bit different in that it relies heavily on volunteers, which are difficult to find no matter what time of year, Craig said. “I wish we had more [volunteers],” he said. “The submarine community is quite small. Back in the day, there were a lot of people who had served on subs. Since the Shipyard is more of a repair facility, we have less former Navy settling in the area. Finding volunteer help is a constant struggle.”

CAR TALK
Reader needs a second opinion on dubious issue Dear Car Talk: The last time I replaced a water pump was because it leaked. That was 1979, in a 1973 Mercury Capri. My high-school boyfriend did the work in By Ray Magliozzi my parents’ garage while I helped. I have never replaced a timing chain (or belt), and several of my cars have hit 100,000 miles. So why does the Honda dealer want to replace the timing chain and water pump on my 2010 Honda Element at 120,000 miles when there is nothing wrong with this vehicle? He wants $585! That is good money that I could spend on an upgraded mountain bike that belongs inside my Element when the seats are folded up. Do I need this, or is it an unnecessary bit of dealer-recommended maintenance? — Beverly It’s hard to tell just from what you say here, Beverly. The timing chain in your Element is supposed to last the life of the vehicle. So it’s not something the dealer would change as part of any regular maintenance — unless he had a large boat payment due. But sometimes the timing chain doesn’t
last the life of the car. The chain can get loose over time and make noise. If it gets loose enough, it can jump and cause the crankshaft and camshafts to get out of sync, and that’ll set off your check engine light. Was your check engine light on? Or maybe the dealer noticed that the timing chain has some play in it — which he can hear — or he noticed the chain’s tensioner making noise. If you didn’t change your oil as often as you were supposed to, that could cause the chain to loosen up or the tensioner to fail prematurely. But since you’re dubious, I think you should get a second opinion. First, clarify the diagnosis with your dealer. Ask him to tell you what he saw or heard that makes him think the chain needs to be replaced. Then go to mechanicsfiles.com and put in your ZIP code. You’ll get a list of mechanics in your area that have been personally recommended by other people who read our column and listen to our radio show. You even can look for someone on that list who specializes in Hondas. And have a mechanic you trust look at your car, and see if his conclusion is the same. And ask him if you need a water pump, too. On Hondas with timing belts, we always change the water pump when we
change the timing belt, because the timing belt drives the water pump. So once you’ve removed the timing belt, you’ve already paid for the water pump replacement labor. It’d be malpractice not to do it then, since the water pump is as old as the timing belt. On your car, the timing chain doesn’t drive the water pump, but there is some duplication of labor. So with 120,000 miles on the water pump, too, it probably makes sense to change it. If the second mechanic gives you the same diagnosis, then you should apologize to the dealer for doubting his honesty. Tell him you feel bad, and that he was absolutely right. But then have it fixed by whichever guy is cheaper. Good luck, Beverly. Dear Car Talk: I have a 2001 Monte Carlo SS, and when I step on the brakes, the pedal goes all the way to the floor, but the car doesn’t stop at all. Pads and fluid are good. Is it the master brake cylinder? — Kasey Well, that sounds exciting, Kasey. If you lived long enough to read this, you’ll be heartened to know that your guess probably is correct. If you don’t have a massive leak, it
probably is the brake master cylinder. The master cylinder is basically a hydraulic pump filled with brake fluid. There’s a piston inside it — like in a bicycle pump. And when you step on the brake pedal -- you push that piston, which forces the hydraulic fluid, under pressure, out to the brakes. And typically, the way master cylinders fail is that the seals around the piston fail. So when you push the piston, the fluid just sneaks around it, rather than getting pushed out to the brakes. That leads to exclamations that contain two words, the first of which is “Oh.” And master cylinders often fail intermittently. While they’re in the process of dying, they can work poorly in cold weather, and then, when the seals around the piston heat up and expand, they can work better. But you don’t want to mess around with a car that doesn’t stop, do you, Kasey? I guess we should compliment you on being a very calm individual. You must have very low blood pressure. Normally, when someone’s brakes go to the floor, he or she doesn’t go home, calmly write a letter to some automotive columnist and hope they publish an answer in the next few weeks.

Where I went: Starting at Jenness Beach in Rye, I rode my bicycle along the scenic back roads of North Hampton, where I turned around and headed back up to Rye along the coastline to complete a roughly 12-mile loop. What it is: An active way to see the beaches and the beautiful homes of North Hampton and Rye. The roads on the Seacoast are filled with cyclists who frequent similar bike routes. My Experience: The first challenge was Mill Road. It made up the majority of the back road section of the ride and had remained completely uncharted by Google Maps. Without a street view of the road, I would be flying blind. Since I was hoping to recommend this route to others, I needed to know what mysteries that back road held. The next challenge was my bike. In college, I had bought a single-speed fixed-gear road bike that required little maintenance but was close to impossible to ride up hills because of its lack of gears. For this ride, I wanted to use a road bike because I wanted to look like all the people who went zooming by me on their fancy 18-speeds every day, but the only geared bike I could get was my dad’s Cannondale. The mountain bike was bought in the 1990s but has been taken care of. It was the bike I’d always seen him riding when I was a kid, so it did have a special place in my memory. And since the mystery of Mill Road posed potential problems of terrain, I decided the versatility of my dad’s mountain bike would be useful. The final challenge was my friend Dakota’s gear, which was even more questionable. Dakota agreed to be my road buddy. I pulled an old Huffy mountain bike out of his carriage house and fixed the seat and tires. Without many other options, we decided the bike, and a slightly blemished helmet we’d found, would do. The route starts on Cable Road off Ocean Boulevard near Jenness Beach. My initial worries about the route started to fade as I realized the area was mostly residential. We passed through neighborhoods that fit the mold of a Seacoast property with their surfboard-clad VW vans and their pre-worn

beach hut signs. As we neared Mill Road, the houses got bigger and the lawns got greener. But more important to Dakota and me, the woods got thicker. The smell of the ocean drifted away as we climbed the hills into the dense pine forest. The smell of the sap reminded us of our childhoods. The scent was elusive, only finding us when our minds wandered from it, and in a way the smell of pine recharged us so we could moved deeper into the woods. The views were all I could have hoped for and the problems that started the trip began to fall away. The impressive homes were separated by the occasional pond or field, some of which were large enough they they reached almost out of view, making Dakota, who claimed to be afraid of open spaces, uncomfortable. At the corner of South Road and West Road, we stopped to assess the route. We wanted to make sure we were headed in the right direction, and we were looking down at our phones when a woman on a road bike pulled up beside us at a stop sign. She asked us if we knew where we were going. I told her our plan to follow Mill Road down toward North Hampton. She frowned and said that the roads got increasingly less bike-friendly the farther south we headed and that an alternative route, off Mill Road, was what we wanted. The woman introduced herself with a warm smile and a handshake. Karen was fully geared up with high-end cycling equipment and it was clear she knew the area well. Looking at us on our hand-medown rides, Karen must have figured we needed some assistance because she offered to fill up our water bottles at her home just around the corner. “Do you guys want some water, or espresso?” said Karen. What started as a quick pit stop with a friendly cyclist ended up being an hourlong visit with a very gracious woman who
felt to us like the queen of the cyclists in the area. We drank espressos on her brick patio and talked long enough to get to know each other comfortably. By the time we had to leave, she was wishing us luck on all our future projects and we were making plans to bump into her again soon. She would not let Dakota back on his bike without replacing his damaged helmet with one of her spares. “You’ve got to protect all those books you’ve read,” said Karen. If I’ve learned anything from my adventures, it’s that you always have to follow the side quests. We were back on the road, following Karen’s instructions to take Woodland Road down to North Hampton Beach. The road was scenic and decidedly less busy. At North Hampton Beach, we ate wraps at the Secret Spot restaurant and talked about our hopes for the last leg of the ride. After hugging the shoulder of Ocean Boulevard for a mile or so, we pulled up onto the sidewalk that overlooks the beaches. This is what we’d made the journey for. This was the big show. The sun was setting now and the dim light gave the waves a softer texture. Without the sun’s glare or the cover of night, we could look far out to the edge of the horizon. As we rode along the bending coast, the houses lining Hampton’s beaches began to show themselves. The mansions seem as much a part of the coast’s history as the sand itself and as we took in the view slowly moving beside us we wondered what beach life must have been like for the wealthy folks who built the giant homes years ago. Who should try this: If you like riding your bicycle and want to do it with some impressive scenery, then you should try this route. Feel free to find your own path through the back roads; you never know where your adventure might take you.

NH Food Truck Festival returns A variety of specialty items, from gourmet grilled cheeses and tacos to cupcakes and cannolis, will be served out of trucks when the New Hampshire Food Truck Festival returns for its fourth year to Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth on Sunday, Oct. 1. Food Truck Festivals of America launched in 2011 to bring the popular urban food trend to areas in the country where food trucks aren’t quite as prevalent. “We always try not to do our festivals … in major metropolitan areas like Boston or New York City, because those areas are saturated with food trucks on every corner, and it didn’t make sense because people can go to them there every day,” said Janet Prensky of the Massachusetts-based Aigner/Prensky Marketing Group, which created Food Truck Festivals of America. “So to have events like this in Portsmouth, for example, it’s a real treat for people to come experience 20 to 25 different food trucks all in one place.” Food Truck Festivals of America organizes similar events all across the country, featuring trucks based within a two-hour driving radius of each venue. “Food trucks are always looking for new markets … and for people up in southern New Hampshire who, for example, may New Hampshire Food Truck Festival

Prensky said most of the food trucks appearing at the festival have simple but specialty menu items. You can try a gourmet short rib grilled cheese sandwich with Asiago cheese and caramelized onions and sourdough bread from Roxy’s Grilled Cheese, or a “barbecue sundae” from the award-winning Rhode Island-based GottaQ Barbeque, which is a layer of pulled pork topped with a layer of macaroni and cheese, a layer of coleslaw and a layer of cornbread all in one cup.

Teddy’s LunchBox. A newcomer to this year’s festival is Cousins Maine Lobster. “Their specialty is lobster everything, so lobster soups, chowders, quesadillas, paninis, you name it,” Prensky said. If you’re new to experiencing the food truck trend, Prensky recommends choosing smaller items in order to get the most of out multiple trucks. “What becomes really fun is getting to graze around a lot of the different trucks, since they are all there for the day and you have the opportunity to do so,” she said. “We often have a waiting list for our festivals and make determinations on what truck goes where … so that there is a nice variety.” Just eight food trucks participated in Food Truck Festivals of America’s first event in Plymouth, Mass., in 2011. But more than four times as many people showed up for it, so many that the grilled cheese food truck ran out of cheese, Prensky said. “We actually had to buy 20 pounds of cheese at a nearby market,” she said. “Basically what came out of all of that first event was that we realized food trucks were here to stay and that we were on to something.” In addition to the trucks, the event will feature craft beers, live music by The Budds, and games like cornhole, giant Jenga and more. Prensky said people are invited to bring blankets and chairs and stay to enjoy the atmosphere of the festival. “Food trucks are a burgeoning business, and people find they are always pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food,” Prensky said. “So we hope that it’s a great day to just eat, drink and be merry.” — Matt Ingersoll

Apples Living on the Seacoast in the fall is the only acceptable consolation that our wonderful summer is over. The air is crisper and the activities and cuisine follow suit. After we married, my husband and I lived in San Francisco for a few years. Particularly in the city, seasons are easily felt or spotted. Fall was the sunniest time of year and winter the rainiest but there was no large, felt change. For this New Englander, it was kind of weird! On one hand, you could always be outside, which was so nice. On the other hand, the passage of time felt completely different.

ty to translate for mortals. This leads to the second problem: It’s more or less a textbook on gene editing, the fascinating but complex process by which scientists are manipulating DNA inside living cells. A Crack in Creation aspires to make a science lesson more appealing by injecting Doudna into the story, giving snippets of her life growing up in Hawaii, hanging out with colleagues celebrating the 25th anniversary of her lab (karaoke and scientific presentations!), even the nightmares she has that convey Doudna’s concern about where the technology could go. But instead of humanizing the story, these anecdotes seem inserted as afterthought; they lack sparkle and an emotional center. Example: Doudna went into science, in part, because her father, a college professor, gave her a copy of James Watson’s book about DNA, The Double Helix, when she was 12. Her father later died from melanoma, a clearly traumatic event, to which she devotes seven sentences. She mentions that they discuss what happens to us after death, but declines to offer any detail that would add poignancy and depth. If you’re looking for explanations of how gene editing works, there are more succinct and helpful explanations online. Once Doudna and Sternberg dispense with the agonizing science, the most useful part of the book begins, which is Doudna’s personal hopes and fears about her field.
A major concern about gene editing is that a change introduced into one organism today can also change that organism’s descendants. If we make a mistake, we make heritable mistakes. The technology offers us the opportunity not only to wipe out disease but to create human being with stronger bones, more pleasant-smelling armpits and a decreased need for sleep. It also allows us, via gene changes that cause sterilization, to wipe out species. The technology asks, “Do we really need mosquitoes?” and we may think not, until we start thinking about people in other countries who may wonder, “Do we really need Americans?” Douda writes that in 2014 she dreamed that Adolf Hitler sat before her and said, “I want to understand the uses and implications of this amazing technology you’ve developed.” Pollsters have found that Americans are roughly evenly divided on whether scientists should be able to use gene editing to reduce disease if the change is heritable, a process called “germline” editing. In the end, it may not matter what ordinary Americans think; scientists are not waiting for us to get comfortable with the idea, arguing that, as one bioethicist wrote, “gene editing is not an option, it is a moral necessity.” It’s reassuring to know that the great brains that have enabled “the unthinkable power to control evolution” are thinking deeply about what they have wrought, and how gene editing can be harnessed for good, not for evil. It would be nice if they could explain, in language accessible to the non-scientific public, how we got here. A Crack in Creation tries, but fails to let that light in. C — Jennifer Graham

Taking flight
Seth Glier brings new album to New Hampshire With multi-layered vocals, doo-wop choruses and Beatlesque string charts, a 1960s spirit imbues Seth Glier’s latest release. The Boston-based singer-songwriter (his last name rhymes with “sheer”) laughs heartily at a suggestion that Birds is the record Brian Wilson would make if he’d lived in a snowy climate. “That’s quite a compliment, thanks,” he said by telephone from a recent tour stop. “I think that’s why I gravitated toward this singer-songwriter folk world; I loved the craftsmanship of those songs. This time around we’re playing with that, but with ... different clothes.” A stripped-down, percussive take on a classic from the era is one of the record’s highlights. Glier said that Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth” was chosen because “every single line” is still relevant. While driving to perform at the annual Woody Guthrie Festival in Oklahoma, he and longtime sideman Joe Nerney worked out an O Brother, Where Art Thou? chain gang arrangement of the 1967 song. “I had the steering wheel as my bass drum [and] Joe added a harmonica, because he had one in his pocket,” he said. Glier’s social conscience shines on the anti-fracking “Water on Fire,” which borrows Berry Gordy’s “Money” refrain to great effect. “Justice for All” is an anticapital punishment song with a Staples Singers feel; it was inspired during a morning jog in an Arkansas city famous for its “Hanging Judge.” A sign reading “no climbing, please respect this as an instrument of justice,” coupled with a tour guide explaining the mechanics of hanging to a group of gradeschool children, bothered Glier. “He’s saying, ‘Who wants to pull the lever?’ and course, at that age, you’re not thinking about what it necessarily represents, what it means,” Glier said. “It’s a cool trick at that point. That was something

One of the most wonderful things about his death for me is that it gave me permission to be his brother again. SETH GLIER so odd to me, how people learn justice, and how they come to their own resolution.” When sending a message, Glier hews to the spirit of Guthrie’s “Deportees” or Paul Simon’s “America” — the latter song is “a beautiful way of talking about this deeply politicized issue,” he said, “but doing it in a way where you don’t think it’s about
immigration. … It’s disguised.” Ultimately, though, Glier believes “more in the power of the song than the power of the artist. When a song gets inside someone, it stays alive.” Later, he reflected on the songwriter’s social role in these fractious times. “In this climate … the way one tells a story has a way to change the story, and I think that is a brushstroke that a songwriter is uniquely able to articulate,” he said. “It’s something that I wish I had a stronger handle on when I started writing.” Much of Birds is deeply personal for Glier. “It Hasn’t Hit Me Yet” is a song about losing his autistic brother in 2015, but when he sings “let me hold it together … I’ve never been in a world without you in it,” his words will resonate with anyone acquainted with loss. Glier gave a moving TED Talk about acting as his brother’s legal guardian at the end of his life. Making medical and other
life decisions kept his emotions in check. “I’m one of those people when there’s a chaotic situation at hand I’m pretty cool,” he said. “One of the most wonderful things about his death for me is that it gave me permission to be his brother again.” Like his grief, the song was an outpouring. “Not to take anything away from it, but I’m sure there was a lot of tequila involved in getting to that point,” Glier said with a wry laugh. “It was an idea that was painful. ... It was about a year later as I was working out stuff for this album where I was able to take that kernel of expression and turn it a little bit more to the form of a song.” The title of the album refers to the visitors to Glier’s windowsill that seemed in many ways to be messengers of his late brother. In an August blog post, he referred to songs as “mediators between the spiritual and sensual world.” One song he had in mind when he wrote those words was “I’m Still Looking,” which closes out the record and is marked by imaginary conversations. “One of the ways they act as mediators is keeping my brother alive in one aspect,” he said. “Death has a way of putting your certainty into question, and it certainly put my atheism into question. Songs like that allow me to have this dialogue with something else without feeling like I’m slipping down a slope.” — Michael Witthaus Seth Glier When: Friday, Sept. 29, 8 p.m. Where: Music Hall Loft, 131 Congress St., Portsmouth Tickets: $14 at themusichall.org Also appearing Saturday, Sept. 30, 8 p.m. at Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
Ewwwww!
Forget the horrifying clown from It. The newest inhabitant of your nightmares is a giant “fatberg” in the sewer system beneath the streets of London. A fatberg is created by a buildup of fat and grease combined with used diapers, sanitary napkins and wipes. This one is almost the length of three football fields and weighs more than 140 tons. Matt Rimmer with London’s Thames Water said the current glob is “a total monster and is taking a lot of manpower and machinery to remove, as it’s set hard.”
Bright ideas
An unnamed man in Plymouth, Minnesota, went to extraordinary lengths and wasted two days of police investigators’ time just to get a few days away from his wife, police Sgt. Keith Bird said. The woman reported her 34-year-old husband missing on Aug. 28 and showed police a text from him saying he had been kidnapped. The kidnapper demanded a paltry $140 for his return, and the wife agreed, but the kidnapper said she could wait for the husband to receive his paycheck. Eventually police caught up with the husband, who insisted he had indeed been kidnapped but Wait, what?
