museum. “He comes out to perform his wacky experiments three times throughout the day and each time his ‘Lab’ is packed with excited assistants.” She said some of his favorite experiments have included “Anti-gravity in a jar,” “Will it sink or float?” “Giant Gyroscope,” and a “Coke and Mentos” explosion.

Where I went: My friend Amy and I went to Haunted Overload (20 Orchard Way, Lee) to experience an outdoor haunted attraction. Haunted Overload is different from a haunted house because it is an outdoor trail that takes you through several houses and other creepy locations. The attraction won the ABC television competition The Great Halloween Fright Fight in 2014. What it is: A $25 ticket gets you access to the full haunted trail experience. Guests walk for 20 to 30 minutes through a trail of terrifying themed locations with unsettling and unrelenting pathways connecting the various locations. Visit hauntedoverload. com for dates and times. My Experience: Before we even checked in, Amy and I were clutching each other; as we were trying to find the line to get our tickets checked, there was a half human, half monster that paced up and down the line on its arm stilts. When I went to get a closer look with my phone, it snapped at me and the whole line jumped back. The main entrance area is an eyeful of production design that lets everyone know right away why Haunted Overload has gained national attention. A massive skull, larger than a house, overlooks the pumpkinlined waiting area. The skull is so large it makes the surrounding woods fade away and we felt like we were in a Halloween village. The waiting line passes several other larger-than-life structures, including a pumpkin man, taller than the trees, that looms over the crowd and guards a stone castle that funnels the guests into the trail. The castle’s gatekeeper was a Marilyn Manson-esque pale-faced woman with an undead cat on her lap. After a short chat with the woman, her zombie cat awoke, snarled at us, and we entered the trail. A green-lit tunnel, growing impossibly narrow, was the first thing we saw. And at the end of the tunnel, waiting patiently, was a silhouette of a crouched figure that we were clearly going to have to confront before we could pass. Just as we got close enough to touch it, it jumped up, screamed and pointed us to the trail. There was a terrifically troubling amount of jump-scares throughout the haunted trail, but I particularly appreciated the mini worldbuilding that the designers had dreamed up. Each themed hut had its own story and unique inhabitants. The first location, for example, was a demented take on a carnival tent. Seemingly lifeless acrobats hung from the ceiling of the tent and suddenly sprang to life just as Amy and I had decided they were fake. Carnival music swirled around the tent as various carnies approached us and spoke chilling things into our ears. Then a harlequin jumped down from her perch with a bucket of her own guts to show us before we pushed open the exit flap of the tent. “Come on, it’s a delicacy in France,” she said as we left.

Between locations was a fenced-in dirt trail that zig-zagged through the woods. The wooden fences were about 8 feet tall so we couldn’t see much outside the dirt path. But the trails are no place to feel relieved because cage headed, nuclear waste ridden, woodland wanderers waited around random corners. And the worst part was we couldn’t tell which stoic figures leaning against the fences were real. I accepted that the only way to find out who was real was to wait and see which ones woke up and followed us down the path. With our arms interlocked, Amy and I hobbled through each haunted location. It seemed to me that each location was more dilapidated and scary than the last. Starting with a mansion, which acted as its own mini haunted house, we made our way down into a hut filled with children’s toys and populated with seemingly inept caretakers who continued to torment our thoughts with scary details about what had happened to the last visitors. The scariest location for me was an an unassuming wooden hut whose inhabitants were mostly dead. Bodies hung in dirty potato sacks from the ceiling and the corners of the hut were too dark to see. Suddenly, we felt the caretaker of the building approach us from out of the darkness. Then we heard a chilling sound fill our ears: a chainsaw starting up. I lost my sense of direction and pulled Amy into a dead end. The bodies clobbered us as we swung around and tried to find the exit. The chainsaw got closer and felt like it was going to cut the hairs standing up on the back of my neck. The trail went on and on, each location with its own unique theme, as the forest people kept us moving forward. Who should try this: Anyone who thinks haunted houses are too short or not scary enough. You can also take kids (and anyone who doesn’t like to be terrified) during the day when there are no monsters or ghouls around for a $5 Day Haunt. — Ethan Hogan

We stick to a very spooky theme and concept — a castle with a giant stone skull, cemeteries. It all happens in a traditional New England Halloween woods setting.”

CAR TALK

How to get a newfangled car through the car wash Dear Car Talk: I have a 2017 Buick LaCrosse that has the gas-saving feature of shutting off the engine at stops and then restarting when the brake is released. It also has an By Ray Magliozzi unfortunate feature of putting the transmission into park whenever the start/stop button is pushed to stop the engine; the only way to leave the car in neutral is to leave the engine running. So, how do I manage to get the car through a commercial car wash? Are they familiar with this peculiarity? I asked a salesman at my Buick dealer this question. His response was that the car-wash tracks are wet and, therefore, slippery: “Just leave it in park and let the wheels slide.” That is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Is there a way to run the car through a car wash without sliding the tires? The only way I can think of is to leave the engine running, and then the transmission can be put into neutral. However, I don’t think the car-wash people would like that. — Newton The salesman’s an idiot. Putting the car in neutral is exactly what you should do. If your car wash is the most common type, where the

driver stays in the car, then you can leave it running, use the foot brake when you come out the other end, then put it back in drive and go. If it’s a car wash that requires you to exit the vehicle, you may have to open the driver’s door first, before putting the car in neutral, to prevent it from shifting into park automatically when you open the door. Actually, lots of cars are having trouble getting through automatic car washes these days. Car washes haven’t had this much publicity since “The Bikini Carwash Company II” came out in 1993. It turns out a lot of the new “autonomous driving” safety equipment is not playing well with these car-cleaning tunnels. For instance, a lot of new cars have a wonderful feature called “automatic emergency braking.” If the car senses an object in front of you — like a stopped car or a human dressed as a tuna fish sandwich — and you don’t brake in time, it assumes you’re distracted and it automatically stops itself for you. Now, what do you think it does when it sees a giant spinning buffer heading toward your grille (unless the system disengages itself when the car is put in neutral)? Other cars automatically apply the parking brake if the car is stopped for more than a few seconds. This also is a great safe-

ty improvement. It’s prevented people from stepping out of the car without putting the transmission in park first and running over themselves. Hey, it happens! So for people like you, with newer cars, you’ll have to check your owner’s manual. More and more of them now have instructions for going through an automatic car wash. It’s more complicated than in the old days, when all you had to do was decline the muffler polish, give the guy your eight bucks and remember to close the window. Now you often have to disable a bunch of safety features, lest you find yourself at the front of the line, unable to go forward through the car wash, with 16 people behind you getting furious while you scan the index of your owner’s manual. I’m not intimately familiar with the 2017 Buick LaCrosse, but if it’ll stay in neutral with the car running, and it doesn’t have those safety features engaged, you should be fine. Dear Car Talk: I have a 1996 Ford Explorer with 164,000 miles. It runs fine, but a year ago, the check engine light came on and indicated a problem with the cam position sensor. The Explorer lives on a very small island with dirt roads and no mechanic. It is driven a maximum

of about 40 miles a year, from the marina to our cabin, which we visit once a month or so. After a year with the check engine light on, the Explorer still runs great. Should I worry? — Peter No. The sensor probably is bad, Peter. But the effects of a bad cam position sensor are most likely to be felt at high speed. So just don’t take any dirt highways on the island. That sensor helps the computer compare the positions of the cam shafts and the crankshaft. And it uses that information to control the timing of the fuel injectors and the spark. But, like I said, those things become more critical at higher speeds. And if you’re just moseying (and I hope you are) from the marina to your cabin and back, you might never notice any problem at all. And at worst, if it fails completely, it won’t disable the vehicle; it’ll put it into a so-called limp-home mode — which is what it sounds like. You might not even know the difference! In any case, in the worst-case scenario, you’ll still be able to limp to the cabin. At that point, you need to befriend a Ford mechanic, and then invite him to spend a peaceful, bucolic weekend on a secluded island. Then tell him to bring a ‘96 Explorer cam position sensor with him.

I see you have several degrees in art — talk about your degrees and what you studied. This question makes me laugh. I could go to school forever. I love being a student. I went to Rhode Island School of Design and studied painting. That program, or at least the version that I was shepherded through, was heavily practice- and theory-based. No one really taught me how to handle a brush or mix oil mediums. I’ve got a graduate degree in Art Education. Most recently, I got my MFA at UPenn. They do a truly interdisciplinary program there — out of 16 people in my cohort, I was one of two painters. I still don’t know whether it made me burrow down into my painting practice, or whether it helped me spread out ideologically. Talk about your latest exhibit. This is my second solo show and my first on the Seacoast. It’s a TEAM-hosted exhibit at Foundation Art Space [in Exeter. Her art is on view there until Oct. 27]. It’s a tight body of work — all the paintings are realistic images of black paper that’s been folded or crumpled and flattened back out. The canvases are essentially at 1:1 scale, so they’re small and the illusion fills the whole field. Foundation Art Space is pretty intimate, which has worked really well with my paintings. It’s been great working with TEAM to transform the space for this exhibition.

What is your primary medium as an artist? I’m a painter — almost exclusively oil, but I do travel with a set of watercolors. Experimental writing and book-making are important to me too, but I haven’t really figured out what all that is about yet.

Talk about Exeter and why you are here. What makes this place special for you? Every morning I walk my dog through the woods near my house. I need the oxygen as much as she needs the exercise. I grew up in New England, and this sort of solitary, surrounded-by-trees, daily ritual feels very grounded in my identity.

With your art, are you after something specific — a particular aesthetic perhaps? What’s important to me, especially with these black paper paintings, is a kind of condensed perceptual experience. I mean, I want to compress the whole folding, unfolding, painting, looking process into the smallish-ness of the painting. I like when I can get the image to float away from the white wall so that the illusion of depth kind of slides back and forth. Hopefully other people get that. I think about the uncanny a lot, and deja vu, or lucid dreaming. Those weird slips in experience that remind me that our brains are pretty limited. Painting this way feels like a way to point at that. What do you hope people feel or think when they view your work? Like this thing they’re looking at wants to be looked at, or meditated on. I think I want someone to feel a reciprocity between their look and the painting’s surface looking back — not in an imposing way, but something devotional or available. What is next for you with your art ambitions? What is on your horizon? Oh man. The close of a show, or moving studios, or any major shift in practice can be disruptive. I have a bunch of newly mangled paper to look at and paint. The last few weeks prepping for this show, I’ve just been playing with the way I can break and crease it. I’ve successfully avoided doing any rushed or forced work. If the first few paintings of those don’t work out, maybe I’ll apply for another MFA. Just kidding. I’m in a great place in my work right now — more ideas than I can keep up with. — Rob Levey

AT DONUT LOVE Donut Love (112 Lafayette Road, North Hampton) is the perfect name for this new donut shop, and not just because you’ll love the treats — the proprietors are equally sweet. The mom-and-pop establishment is owned by Stephanie and Mike Oliveira, who credit their venture into donuts to Mike Oliveira’s mother, whose dream was to open a family bakery of her own. Prior to opening Donut Love, Mike Oliveira was a police officer in North Hampton and Stephanie was a health and fitness instructor. With hard work and an old recipe, a leap of faith is paying off for the young family. The Scene sat down with Stephanie Oliveira to learn more about this super-sweet spot that you need to get to early, because the donuts go fast. How long has Donut Love been around? We came about in late 2016. Mike was home on paternity leave for 12 weeks and we were talking about his mom, who had recently passed away, and she had always dreamed of having a family-owned bakery. He said, “Why couldn’t I do something like that?” I went out that day and when I came home he had donuts baking in the kitchen. He’d baked with his mom when he was a kid, and he cooks, but he had never made donuts before. I work in the health and fitness industry so I wanted to be as wholesome as possible, so we agreed we’d use local ingredients, no fake colors, no preservatives. What makes Donut Love unique? The donuts are made with Maine potatoes. We use flour and actual mashed potatoes. It’s a long process for the dough production, but we don’t have to use yeast, which is why people don’t feel crummy

when they eat our donuts. We try to support local as much as possible and almost everything is from New England. Our coffee is local, our eggs, the maple syrup. There are only about 10 ingredients in our donuts. What is your personal favorite dish? Well, it changes every time [we] come up with a new one! But if I had to say right now, the chocolate sea salt is definitely one of my favorites. The cold brew is another one. We serve specialty cold brew coffee and we put that in our glaze. And the Maine blueberry, there are blueberries in the donut and in the glaze. Mike just started doing an apple one, and I’m not usually a fruit person in my sweets, but the apple is so good — there are real chunks of apple in there! What is a dish you recommend everyone get? There is no one top seller, but the cin-

namon sugar is really popular and a lot of people like our old-fashioned. People love the lemon donut because it’s fresh — we use real lemon zest. One day, we made a maple bacon and everyone went bananas for it so we do that one pretty often. And people love the chocolate toasted coconut. Everyone has their own flavor that they like and people might try one they’re not used to and they’ll love it. It really depends on what you’re in the mood for. What is an essential skill to running a restaurant? Not expanding too quickly and staying true to your values. Distributors will give us options for less expensive ingredients and we don’t go for that. We want the best quality. People will ask why we don’t make more donuts when we sell out, and we know we just have to stick to good, hard-working employees — people that want to be here. When we find them we treat them like gold and want to keep them

and have them feel like family. What is your favorite part about being on the Seacoast? I truly feel like the community here is so supportive. I don’t think we’d be where we are if it weren’t for them; they’re the ones that pushed us to do what we’re doing. We’re super-excited to be in North Hampton because Mike grew up here, he baked with his mom as a kid here, this is where he was a police officer, everyone knows him. This place just feels like home. — Suzana Mihajlica Give props to your favorite restaurant!

Pork with apples Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you realize it’s apple season. Yes, it’s the time of year when people across the country pay a ton of money to pick their own apples. Festive? Yes. Cost-effective? Not quite. While I absolutely support this fall tradition, as it’s a great way to support local farms and orchards, I can’t help but find humor in it. Thankfully, even if you overpay, you’re likely to come home with a bunch of amazing apples! My family and I went apple picking this last weekend and it was gorgeous. My kids ran up and down the rows of trees and got to sample several different varieties. From the Ida to the Empire, I’m always learning about new apple varieties. When we got home, my husband immediately baked an apple crisp! Now we have a ton of apples remaining and it’s time to get back to the kitchen. I came across a great slow cooker recipe from a friend and had to try it out. The idea of apples cooking over the course of several hours in my kitchen sounded good to me. Better than any fall scented candle, am I right?

Cortland, Jonagold and Ida Red are my favorite for cooking or baking but really I’m not picky. Your local orchard will give you the skinny on any apple varieties they sell.

Years ago, when I first had a pumpkin beer in the fall — probably a Shipyard Pumpkinhead — the concept was revolutionary. The autumn-y flavor of pumpkin paired beautifully with rich, toasty malts and a milder hop character. Something happened, though. Beer drinkers’ tastes changed or brewers started going overboard with the pumpkin — maybe both. The fall-time proliferation of pumpkin-flavored everything probably didn’t help, nor does the fact that you can get pumpkin-flavored beers in August nowadays. (It’s too soon and you know it.) The uniqueness of pumpkin and beer has been lost. Now, it’s ubiquitous in the fall and downright controversial at times. Beer drinkers can get up in arms about pumpkin beer: “Don’t even think about putting cinnamon and sugar on the rim of my glass.” Brewers have strong opinions too: White Birch Brewing suggests drinkers “say no to pumpkin beers” on its website, while Henniker Brewing Co. states, simply, that “pumpkin beers are gross,” on the label write-up for its own fall seasonal offering. But none of this means all pumpkin beer is bad. (Some of it is.) I like pumpkin beers, I think, but I definitely do not like all pumpkin beers. Frankly, it can be challenging to find good pumpkin beer. Take India pale ales (IPA). When was the last time you had a bad IPA, as in you didn’t even want to finish it? It’s probably happened but you can probably count the instances with two fingers. Now, when was the last time you had a bad pumpkin beer? Was it yesterday? I’m going to lean way out on a limb and say there’s at least a 50-percent chance you didn’t like the last pumpkin beer you tried. If this doesn’t exactly sound like a ringing endorsement for the style, that’s because for every pumpkin beer I truly enjoy, there are probably three others I could do without. And my sense is many a craft beer drinker feels the same way. Far too many pumpkin beers are overly sweet and overly pumpkiny. I want to taste

Samuel Adams 20 Pounds of Pumpkin: You know what, Samuel Adams makes far too many beers. It’s overwhelming. But that doesn’t mean they don’t make good beer. The pumpkin flavor in this brew is not exactly subtle, but it’s definitely not overbearing. This is what a pumpkin ale should be: crisp, pumpkiny, malty and with notes of spice, caramel and nutmeg, but not sticky sweet. A nice seasonal change of pace for your palate.

Pumpkin beers can be a subtly sweet change of pace in the fall. Pictured here, Able Ebenezer’s Homecoming pumpkin brew. Photo courtesy Able Ebenezer.

a beer with the subtle, nuanced infusion of pumpkin but without the pumpkin flavor — often more like pumpkin pie spice — taking over the brew. Many of the pumpkin-infused offerings taste artificial. I’ve found that darker beers, like porters, can be the perfect brew style in which to infuse that pumpkin flavor. In my perfect vision of a pumpkin porter, the rich malt is the main attraction with the pumpkin flavor lending a touch of sweetness, spice and complexity to the brew. That said, I’ve had too many pumpkin porters that taste like pumpkin syrup. So what do you do? Do you give up and write off pumpkin beers as a style? You could. Or you could accept that as a style it’s kind of a crapshoot. That means there are some good ones out there. My recommendation would be to take advantage of craft beer stores’ “mix and match” policies—make a pumpkin beer sixpack and sample your way through. I bet you’ll enjoy half of them. You’re welcome. Here are four New Hampshire-made pumpkin beers for your taste buds’ consideration: Pumpkin Ale by Smuttynose Brewing Co. (Portsmouth) - Lighter-bodied with real pumpkin flavor. Pumpkinweizen by Martha’s Exchange Restaurant & Brewing Co. (Nashua) - This is an intriguing brew—a creamy German wheat beer with roasted pumpkin. Grumpy Pumpkin Ale by Stark Brewing Co. (Manchester) - Big pumpkin flavor up front balanced with nutmeg, brown sugar and vanilla. Homecoming by Able Ebenezer Brewing Co.

Apple pie, macaroni and cheese and black bean and ravioli are just a few of the unique slices you might find at PizzaFest. The ninth annual all-you-can-eat pizza tasting event, which will feature around 20 pizza flavors from local restaurants, is happening Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover. “People can go around and taste and try different pizzas all night,” said Carolyn Hogan, development coordinator for the museum and PizzaFest organizer. “It’s a great family event for both adults and kids.” According to Hogan, all the participating restaurants are from the Dover area. She said each is required to bring at least three types of pizzas; a regular cheese pizza, a popular topping on their menu regular, and a third creative topping. “We call it an ‘off menu’ pizza, and they can be as creative as they want,” she said. “We’ve had all kinds of entries over the years.” Embers Bakery of Dover, for example, will serve a Thanksgiving-style pizza made with turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, scallions, a cranberry glaze, turkey and mozzarella, in addition to a regular menu pizza they offer that is made with olive oil, garlic, sliced tomatoes, prosciutto, mozzarella and a balsamic glaze. Other off-menu flavors in the past have included everything from macaroni and cheese pizza to an apple pie pizza, Hogan said. You can cast your vote for the best pizza, and votes will be tallied at the end of the night. Hogan said this year’s categories are Most Creative Toppings, Kids’ Choice and Grown-Ups’ Choice. A judging panel of three local chefs will be there to present awards of their own, for Best Pizza, Best Crust and Most Creative Toppings. This year’s participating judges are Katie Morris, owner and decorator of Three Sisters Cake Shop in Dover; PizzaFest

SONGS & STORIES FROM WORLD WAR I It was known as “The Great War,” “The War to End All Wars,” and 100 years after the United States sent “Doughboys” to Europe, we remember the songs and stories from the time. On Nov. 1, the Hampton Falls Free Library will host “Songs and Stories from World War I, a Hundred Years Later.” This entertaining and informative program, which begins at 6:30 p.m., will be presented by “Ramblin’ Richard.” Richard Kruppa, known professionally as “Ramblin’ Richard,” sings the songs that were popular and tells the interesting stories of how the songs related to the life and the times of Americans of that era. Many of the songs have remained beloved to this day, including “When Irish Eyes are Smiling,” “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary,” and “How Ya Gonna Keep ‘em Down on the Farm.” The program is free and open to the public. The Hampton Falls Free Library is located at 7 Drinkwater Road in Hampton Falls. For further information, check the library’s website at hamptonfallslibrary.org or call 926-3682.

Keeping it colorful

Photography display captures people and places Local artist Bev Tabet is bringing her love of color to Hampton as she displays her photography at the Provident Bank Lobby for the Arts. Tabet’s work has been on display at the bank since July 5 and will remain there through December. Monday through Friday, guests can visit the bank’s lobby, conference room and select offices from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to view or purchase the vibrant photography. According to Tabet, the bank display includes many landscape photos of the local Hampton area as well as some travel photos. Tabet also has four collages on display: Senior Portraits and Graduations, Children and Families, Weddings and Sports Fans in Training, all aimed at displaying different sides of her photography. Almost all the prints shown at the bank are available for purchase. “I wanted to try to focus on some of the local work I do here,” Tabet said. Before she started showing her work, Tabet’s photographic journey was not centered on professional photos. Rather, Tabet said, she was taking pictures for fun and then matching them with quotes and poems and giving them to friends as gifts. But Tabet slowly started showing her work as she became involved with other artists and networks. When she lived in Exeter, Tabet joined the Exeter Arts Committee and displayed some photos through their shows as well as at a small gallery in Exeter. To improve her technical skills, Tabet joined the New Hampshire Society for Photographic Artists and went on a retreat with them to Star Island. After that, Tabet said, she just kept buying cameras, upgrading and doing some workshops, one in Cape Cod and one online with an artist based in Australia. Now, since moving to Hampton four years ago, Tabet is mostly involved in local associations, including the Hampton Arts Network, through which she shows work in the area. Tabet also continues to display her work at various businesses in Maine, where she used to work. “Basically, I’m building my photography business for retirement,” Tabet said. According to Tabet, her photography has evolved to include a number of subjects, but her original subject interest was landscape. “I really love landscape photography,” Tabet said. “And I’m really into color, more than black and white.” Tabet explained that her approach to art is usually by color, as she really enjoys vibrant color and searches for color and clouds to photograph. Her portfolio also includes a good amount of travel photogra-

phy, and she approaches her work as sort of a relaxing exercise. “Photography is kind of like a walking meditation for me,” Tabet said. The artist also described being able to get lost in the moment with photography and just capturing what she feels. She recalled a moment like this when she was taking pictures of one particularly beautiful sunset. “It just changes my whole inner being. … It’s just absolutely breathtaking,” she said. Although Tabet started as a landscape

photographer, she has evolved her skill set to become a portrait photographer as well. In addition to landscapes, she now photographs children and families, high school seniors and small weddings, always aiming for a natural look. “I try to be more of a natural photographer, not a lot of poses,” she said. “I do the candid-type portraits to really try to capture that feeling from the heart.” She said she has really enjoyed the human interactions that stem from her work. “You set your tripod up with your camera and it’s like a magnet,” Tabet said. “You meet so many people, people just start talking to me about my work and it’s so interesting to meet and talk with them.” Tabet also reflected on the way that photography has affected her life in that it has brought out a lot of stories from a wide range of people. She will often come across individuals who connect or relate in some way to the images in her photography and then they are compelled to share their own stories with the artist. Finally, for all the budding photographers out there, Tabet has a few words of advice: “Just shoot a lot, especially now with digital … and follow your own path. Don’t try to imitate another photographer. … Develop your own style and stay true to yourself.” — Rebecca Walker

THE FULL MONTY The Seacoast-based Patrick Dorow Productions’ current production of The Full Monty continues at the Star Theatre (120 Rogers Road, Kittery, Maine), with shows through Nov. 5.

One of them, Jerry, declares that their show will be better than the Chippendales dancers because they’ll go “the full monty” — strip all the way. As they prepare for the show, working through their fears, self-consciousness, and anxieties, they overcome their inner demons and find strength in their camaraderie. Tickets ($20, $25 or $27) are available at the PDP box office at 170 West Road Suite 15, Portsmouth, by calling 603-2949103, visiting patrickdorowproductions.com or at the Star Theatre in Kittery.

to go around. Coincidentally, it’s also a way to avoid obesity, a condition that is hard to find in people who are over 100 years old. Beside watching how much they eat, these villagers also make sure they eat a wide variety of food. On average they eat 17 different foods a day and are always careful to include something that’s pickled or fermented. Compare that to an average American diet where in the same day we’re likely to eat hash browns with breakfast, potato chips with lunch, and then mashed potatoes with dinner. Ikigai’s advice does tend to fall apart

when you get to the individual bits of advice from elders — enjoy alcohol, don’t drink, smoke, don’t eat any meat. It could be said that some of the people lived to a ripe old productive age simply due to genetics or luck. Still, there are certainly general trends that help. Basically eating a healthy diet, being active and having a connection to a community will do a body good. It would be easy to dismiss this book. It’s small and less than 200 pages, a quick read. In fact, after I finished it, I thought to myself “Really? That’s it?” The value in this book lies in the reflection that comes afterward. I have already told many of my friends about Hara Hachi bu. I try to remind myself of it when I sit in front of food. It’s not that I’m depriving myself of anything, it’s that I’m being mindful of others who might also come to the table. When I sit for hours (and hours) at my desk, I’m reminded that I really should get up and go for a walk — not a long one, just a walk. Each major life topic is covered in a separate chapter. The book is wellresearched and includes an appendix listing resources and references for each chapter. Ikigai is a philosophy, it’s a blueprint, and it’s a soft prayer reminding you that in order to enjoy this life, you have to work at it by taking care of your body and your relationships. This book is one of those that will live in your mind long after you put it down. B — Wendy E.N. Thomas

RUN FOR DAN The third annual Dan Healy Memorial 5K Run/Walk and Kids Fun Run is being held Nov. 5 at 11 a.m. at Dan’s monument at the Exeter Rec Area, 4 Hampton Road, Exeter. and is a certified 5K whose route winds through Dan’s childhood neighborhood. SCPO Dan Healy was a Navy SEAL from SDV1 platoon in Hawaii temporarily attached to SEAL Team 10 at the time when he and 10 other SEAL Team members were lost along with eight Army 160th SOAR members during a mission known as Operation Red Wings. He was an Exeter native, father of four, killed in Afghanistan in June of 2005 when his rescue helicopter was shot down by the Taliban. At the time it was largest single loss of Navy SEALS since WWII. His mission is depicted in the movie Lone Survivor starring Mark Wahlberg.

Closing a chapter

Era ends at Portsmouth’s Red Door Lounge On Oct. 28, almost 14 years to the day since it first opened, Portsmouth’s Red Door Lounge will host a final night of DJ music. Appearing will be a veritable history of the intimate upstairs martini bar. Robert Labranche, who in addition to spinning records helped build the room and created many of its works of art, will do his first set there in years. Reggae stalwarts Green Lion Crew, who’ve long held down a Thursday night residency, will also stop by. Other club fixtures marking the end of an era are Yung Abner, Lord Bass, D-Lux and Wheels, El Camino and Nikosi, Exodus, Harlock, Pat Fontes, Patrick Barry and Randy Deshaies. Ryan Obermiller will also man the turntables on the final night, something he’s done for most of the Red Door’s existence. Early on, it was more of a lounge, but it hit another level with a sound system upgrade in the early ’10s. “That certainly changed the dynamic and the energy in the room,” Obermiller said in a recent phone interview. “People realized that the music in the room was really good. ... We kind of morphed into more of a club type vibe.” Even before the sound reboot, the caliber of talent rose, largely because the Red Door was a place where DJs could do their thing without worrying about management. “We did not dictate,” Obermiller said. “We had a general idea, and we chose people that were in the ballpark.” Such an attitude was rare. “Most places, if you try something a little offbeat or underground and it doesn’t take off, they go back to playing pop music,” One Last Night When: Saturday, Oct. 28, 9 p.m. Where: The Red Door, 107 State St., Portsmouth More: bit.ly/2yAPHeo

Join a Winning Team

By Holly, The Seacoast Area's Leading Astrologer

• Aries (March 21-April 19): You have a strong desire for excitement today. Actually, it’s more of a pleasant feeling of restlessness. Well, OK, it’s just nervousness. To tell the truth, you’ll be bored stiff. • Taurus (April 20-May 20): Gifts, goodies and favors from others might come to you today. Hey, anyone can make mistakes! • Gemini (May 21-June 20): Expect to make new and unusual acquaintances today. Too bad the only place you’re planning to visit is the Humane Society. • Cancer (June 21-July 22): Today is a day where something crazy and astonishing could happen at work! But considering your co-workers, that’s pretty unlikely. • Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Partners and close friends might surprise you with

something unexpected today, such as a compliment. • Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sudden opportunities to travel or to get further education might fall into your lap today. Unfortunately, you’re spending the whole day standing up. • Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Some aspect of your personal life might suddenly become public today! But not to worry, as no one will care any more than they ever did. • Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s entirely possible that you will meet a new and exciting friend or acquaintance today. Working against that, however, is that you’re serving a sentence in solitary confinement. • Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Secret flirtations and love affairs are possible today. In your case, though, let’s just say it’s not a good day to bet the farm. • Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): How did they ever make up those constellations out of stars in the sky? A bear? The queen of Ethiopia? I don’t see anything but little dots of light up there. • Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I predict you will be dissatisfied by an unhelpful horoscope that will fail to predict anything about you other than the dissatisfaction that you are about to experience. Hey, am I good or what? • Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t be so concerned about what you’ll do for the rest of your life. You haven’t got that much time left, anyway.

Later that evening, the true homeowner of the burglarized house called police and reported the theft, and through U-Haul records police were able to track Adams down. He was charged on Sept. 28 with burglary and criminal mischief.

Alien invasion

Bryant Johnson of Casper, Wyoming, was on a mission on Oct. 2 when police responded to a call about a man warning citizens of an alien invasion coming next year. KTWO Radio in Casper reported that Johnson told police he had traveled back in time from 2048, explaining that the aliens filled his body with alcohol and had him stand on a giant pad that transported him back to 2017 although he was supposed to arrive in 2018. He also asked to speak with the “president of the town.” Instead, Bryant was arrested for public intoxication.

The owners of a mischievous ass in Vogelsberg, Hesse, Germany, have been ordered to pay for damages after Vitus the donkey apparently mistook an orange McLaren Spider sports car for a carrot. When Markus Zahn left his $411,000 car parked next to a paddock on Sept. 16, 2016, he returned to find that Vitus had nibbled on its paint to the tune of almost $7,000 in damage. “The donkey had insurance, but the insurance didn’t want to pay,” Zahn told the BBC. Vitus’s rap sheet also includes biting a Mercedes.

Corporate shenanigans

The Russian division of Burger King has asked the country’s Federal Anti-Monopoly Service to ban Stephen King’s horror movie It from showing in Russian theaters because the clown character, Pennywise, looks too much like Ronald McDonald, and therefore the movie is advertising for McDonald’s. However, the Hollywood Reporter noted, the movie opened in Russia on Sept. 7 and had already grossed millions of dollars by late September. A spokeswoman for the FAS, confirming that the complaint had been received, said, “We can’t be concerned with Do not eat!

PETS OF THE WEEK Kelly and Jennifer are just two of the many homeless rabbits waiting for a second chance at the New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham. They are currently the two rabbits that have been waiting the longest for a new family. Kelly and Jennifer are a mother and daughter duo that would like to find a home where they can remain together. Rabbits are very social animals and can form strong bonds with their people and other rabbits. They are comfortable being held and would be okay in a home with cats. It may be best if they went to a home without dogs. Rabbits make excellent house pets. They are generally clean and can be housetrained to use a litter box. Rabbits are interesting, docile, interact well with people, and can become quite affectionate. Like all the animals available for adoption at the New Hampshire SPCA, Kelly and Jennifer have been spayed to prevent pet overpopulation. Currently we have an abundance of small animals looking for loving homes. For more information on adding a rabbit or other small animal to your family please visit us at nhspca.org.
