A WORD FROM LARRY

Master McGrath’s

For all the moms out there Let’s talk about Mother’s Day! It is this Sunday, May 13. This is the perfect time to give some attention to your mother. For all the tons of little things that she does each and every Larry Marsolais day, asking for nothing in return, this is your chance to show her some love, because she deserves it. Take the time to go out and get something. It could be a nice gift or a really great card.

Sometimes a card is a very good way to say “I Love You.” Those three words are probably not said as much as they should be. If you have young children, make it a fun day by doing something nice for you, mom.

My mom died at a young age and if I had a chance to relive those years I would do things differently. I think mothers seem to always get the short end of things, so take the time this year.

On another note, the Hampton Beach Comic Book & Toy Show is happening Saturday, May 12, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, with a $5 admission.

From all of us at the Scene, happy Mother’s Day! Feel free to call me any time at 603-9355096 to discuss local issues or to place an ad.

Larry Marsolais is3 the general manager of the Seacoast Scene and the former president of the Hampton Rotary Club.

Come have some fun!

EVENTS TO CHECK OUT MAY 10 - 16, 2018, AND BEYOND Crafts for the weekend

The scenic Town Common in Hampton Falls will come alive with color, flavor and music for the ninth Annual Mother’s Day Weekend Craft Festival on Saturday, May 12, and Sunday, May 13. More than 75 juried artisans from all over New England will display and sell their American made works, from pottery and jewelry to pet gifts and doll clothes. Several vendors will also be selling food products. There will be live music on the bandstand each day. The fair is held rain or shine and admission is free. Festival hours are Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Fun with burlesque

The show that has sold out every year since it started five years ago, the So You Think You’re A Lady or Gent burlesque amateur contest, returns to the Portsmouth Gaslight Co. in Portsmouth on Friday, May 11. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m. The cost to watch this friendly competition is $23.

People-pleasing

Free “how to” art lectures

Amesbury artist Bob Richardson, whose oil paintings are on display this month at the Lane Memorial Library in Hampton, will be offering tutorial lectures free of charge on two Saturday afternoons in May. The first, titled “How To: From Sketch to Oil Painting” on Saturday, May 12, at 1 p.m., will begin with an overview of the creative process and how an artist reacts to that “Ah Ha” moment by visualizing and sketching the finished work even before putting paint on the canvas. The second, titled “How To: Painting from Photographs” on Saturday, May 26, also at 1 p.m., will explore how an artist can use the elements of photography as reference and research materials during the creation of a painting.

Celebrating their latest, Dancing on the Dead, People Like You hold a release show at a favorite venue. The self-described “freak-folkgypsy-punk-alt rockers” delve into subjects like life, chaos and yes, death on the new disc. “It’s a bit of a maniacal, ludic, rosy, menacing, dichotomous medley of songs,” said singer, guitarist and chief songwriter Eli Elkus. Go Friday, May 11, 8 p.m., Fury’s Publick House, 1 Washington St., Dover. See peoplelikeyouband.com.

With summer around the proverbial corner, seasonal businesses of all types and sizes throughout the Seacoast are getting ready for their busiest time of the year.

At Lago’s Ice Cream in Rye, longtime owner Steve Grenier said the challenge this year is the labor market.

“Considering New Hampshire’s current unemployment rate of 2.9 percent, there is so much competition for the available pool of qualified candidates to put together a great crew,” he said.

Lago’s opens each year in mid-March, but business takes off noticeably beginning on Memorial Day weekend, Grenier said.

He hopes 2018 will be “a banner year.”

“We just need Mother Nature to cooperate,” he laughed.

Four generations of the Lago and Grenier families have been involved in the business since it opened in 1981.

“It began with with my wife’s grandfather, Gramps Wade,” Grenier said.

“Gramps” passed down his ice-cream making skills to Grenier’s mother- and father-in-law, Mike and Carol Lago, as well as Grenier’s wife Andrea and their kids, Erica and Mike.

“I believe we make some of the best ice cream in New England,” Grenier said.

According to Grenier, the year 1986 proved instrumental for their business’ continued growth, as he and Andrea traveled to Pennsylvania for ice cream training at the world-famous Penn State Ice Cream School. 1986 also marked their first award, as their Kahlua Fudge Brownie won WBZ TV’s best ice cream in New England.

“We are unusual in the fact that in making our own ice cream we have created many original flavors,” he said. “We create and offer 60 flavors of ice cream at any one time.”

One of their favorite originals include the newly created Monkey Mess, a chocolate banana ice cream with a homemade Nutella swirl. Another favorite is their Salty Sailor, a salted caramel ice cream with chocolate-covered pretzels that was created specifically for Sail Portsmouth a few years back.

“One of my all-time favorites is Albanian Baklava,” Grenier said of the espresso ice cream with chunks of baklava inspired by his wife’s Albanian heritage.

As for what he enjoys the most about Lago’s, he cited two things.

“By far, the most fun is watching a customer enjoy a flavor you’ve created, followed closely by working with our crew, who definitely keep me young,” he said.

At Blue Ocean Discovery Center in Hampton Beach, co-founder and Director Cathy Silver said they are currently getting ready for the summer in several ways.

“We are painting and cleaning, stocking the tanks with new animals and creating new displays,” she said.

For this season, which begins for them on June 16, Silver expressed particular excitement at a new offering.

“We will have a new lobster trap display thanks to Riley Quinn, who has worked on the display for his Eagle Scout project,” she said.

Last year, nearly 19,000 people visited the center, which is an average of between 150 and 300 visitors on a daily basis.

According to Silver, an affordable price point is one factor behind the high visitation rates.

“We only charge $1 per person and children 2 and under are free,” she said. “Our operating costs are much more than we make in admissions, so we depend upon donations and grants in order to 8

7 operate.”

The center is part of the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation, a nonprofit organization.

Silver said they have continued to see more people each year since they opened in 2013.

“It has been especially gratifying to hear that many people now make it a point to visit us again and again,” she said.

She said repeat visitation helps inform their decision to create new displays every summer.

“We like to make changes in the displays so that people will see something new each time they visit,” she added.

In addition to affordability, these changing displays enable people to not only see live local marine animals, but also touch them. In addition to this hands-on component, visitors can learn about local whales, sift sand and learn about micro-plastics, sign a Skip the Straw pledge and more.

“You can also explore a lobster trap and measure and band lobsters, do a beach cleanup, learn about fishing and Hampton Beach history,” she said. “You get a chance to interact with our friendly and knowledgeable staff, interns and volunteers, too.”

Silver said the majority of people who visit the center are tourists, although they do get locals too..

“I taught marine biology at Winnacunnet High School for many years and I enjoy seeing my former students who often come to visit,” said Silver.

Silver noted that volunteers are a big part of why the center grows each year.

“Our volunteers are local residents and we are very grateful for their help,” she said.

At Fuller Gardens, a public botanical garden on the ocean in North Hampton, Garden Director Jamie Colen said main-

tenance and preparation are the keys for them as they prep for the season.

“We have three acres here and there is a lot stuck into this small spot,” he said.

“Maintenance-wise, it is pretty technical and requires special care. We have a lot of turf and a lot of flowers and roses.”

The end result of all the work that leads up to their season, which runs mid-May to mid-October, is an experience Colen referred to as “unforgettable” for visitors.

“I think people are amazed that this place still exists,” he said. “It is right here, and people cannot believe the upkeep and care of the grounds — that is awesome to hear. We spend eight months a year [trying] to keep it looking perfect for four months of the year.”

Colen said people are often amazed at their formal rose gardens, which he noted are known throughout the country.

Designed in the Colonial Revival style, the formal rose gardens were commissioned during the late 1920s by Massachusetts Governor Alvan T. Fuller as “an ornament to his summer estate.” “[We have] 1,700 roses that bloom all throughout the summer from late June through October,” he said. “It’s a very desirable plant. Roses have the best of both worlds — they bloom in the summer like an annual and for a very long time like a perennial.”

In addition to roses, Fuller Gardens features a Japanese garden, an English perennial garden and a dahlia display garden that is full of color all season — all of which are lined within large sculpted hedges. Colen said the grounds are made even more romantic with all period buildings, including cypress greenhouses.

“They require a lot more care than steel or plastic greenhouses,” he said. “Wood moves around a lot, glass panes will crack or break, but they are really beautiful.”

As for how many visitors they expect this summer, he said an average day 10

8 brings in 100 visitors with approximately 8,000 to 10,000 throughout the season.

“I have a crew of seven people on the staff who work with me seven days a week,” he said. “We have four full-time people at the gift shop. There is a lot to do here and it is very detailed work.”

Their biggest challenge as they get ready for the season, Colen said, is getting people to actually visit.

“We hear it every year — people have heard of us, but most have not visited before,” he said. “I hope we can continue to work on that.”

For decades, D.W.’s Oceanside Inn in Hampton Beach has welcomed guests from across the globe. Though they used to open in May to pick up the early crowds, owner Skip Windemiller said they will open in the second week of June this year.

“As we get older, we just push it off a little,” said Windemiller, who has been there for 40 years. “We don’t have to rush around like we used to do in years past.”

He said they do, however, have a lot of work left they need to complete in order to be ready for the season. This rainy spring posed a particular challenge.

“We have had a lot less time to clean everything — windows and porches,” he said. “We have not done any painting yet.

There is always something that seems to throw a wrench in the works when you are getting ready for the season.”

As for what he expects this summer, he cited very strong pre-season bookings that “took off like crazy,” which may or may not mean anything.

“Over these past 40 years, some seasons start off slow and some start off fast,” he said. “By the end of the year, though, we usually end up with the same number of reservations.”

In terms of who they expect to stay at the inn, he said most are from New England, Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut with some coming from across the country. He said Canadians generally make up approximately 15 percent of their visitors, although he saw a negative drop from that rate last year.

“The exchange rate was not favorable so Canadian business dropped off,” he said. “I hope we get them back.”

In commenting on the changes he has seen through the years, he expressed some concern at recent development, which has brought in condos that have replaced numerous tourist attractions.

“We are not getting as many destination people, but instead a lot of day-trip beachgoers that don’t walk around as much,” he said. “That benefits different businesses, but it doesn’t help retail spaces.”

According to Windemiller, other changes include how people tend to travel in general. Whereas people once enjoyed staying at one location for a long period of time, they now tend to travel from place to place for a vacation.

“Years ago, I wouldn’t take less than one week in my inn,” he said. “Some stayed the whole season or for months.

It is totally different now with younger people breaking up their vacation time differently. It creates a problem for innkeepers in our area.”

For Windemiller, though, there is still tremendous enjoyment in actually being an innkeeper and getting to know their guests.

“My wife and I enjoy meeting the people,” he said. “Many guests have become part of our family through the years. This property is not a motel, and we do not want to rush around like it is one.”

In looking ahead at the upcoming season, he cited his customary excitement at the sights and sounds of the season.

Hampton Beach, for him, is still 12

“You have great shops and restaurants all within walking distance,” he said.

“You have the beach right in front of you with nice clean water. We are also just a day trip away from the mountains, Boston or the Lakes Region. … You really can’t beat our location.”

For Portsmouth Paddle Co., which provides paddleboard sales, rentals, tours, lessons and events, the off season is when most of the planning for the summer takes place.

“We sell more paddleboards than all of the local retail outlets combined during a short season, which requires a tremendous amount of logistical planning,” said co-owner Wes Hampton.

PPC began in 2015 with eight paddleboards and a pick-up truck.

While PPC has become a destination for tourists visiting the Seacoast, Hampton said it has also become an avenue for locals “to enjoy regular outdoor activity and camaraderie during the summer months.”

“We have developed solid relationships with our guests over the last three years and get so much satisfaction from watching them learn, grow and become willing to try new things like paddleboard yoga,” he said.

One of their regular groups is a team of nurses from Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover.

“Last year, they had a goal of participating in every tour we offer at least once during the season — we thought that was just great,” he said.

This year, Hampton and his wife and

co-owner Alexandra Hampton are getting ready for the launch of SEAVĀSANĀ, which is focused exclusively on yoga and paddleboard fitness. Alexandra Hampton said this company has been created in response to feedback from former students and others who expressed an interest in paddleboard fitness.

“I am thrilled to be able to deliver what my students and others have asked for,” she said.

In looking ahead at the summer, Alexandra said she is excited and appreciative for the general health and wellness culture that permeates the region.

“Seacoast residents truly appreciate the outdoors and the four seasons in all of their glory,” she said. “Summer in New Hampshire is so cherished that it’s impossible not to enjoy being able to help create an amazing Seacoast summer experience.”

While offering regular riding lessons year-round, Garland Stables in Rye offers a few weeks of day camp for kids during the summer, which owner Chelsea Miller always looks forward to.

“Our summer camp has always focused on teaching kids the ins and outs of horse care, horseback riding and horsemanship in a fun and safe manner,” she said.

This summer, though, she said, kids will have a chance to interact with — and learn how to care for — more than just horses.

“We have recently added a few potbelly pigs, chickens, ducks, a couple of miniature horses and possibly goats as well,” she said.

Along with daily riding lessons during the camp day, the camp features 14

“I want kids to have fun, but I also want them to go home and talk about everything they learned,” she said.

In order to offer the camp, however, she said there is a substantial amount of prep work before the season begins. This work includes everything from mending fence boards and posts to grading the driveway, cleaning up paddocks and overall property maintenance.

“We want to make sure the property is safe for animals and clients and also aesthetically pleasing for clients and to

people driving by,” she said. “A nicelooking property can attract new visitors and potential clientele.”

Miller said they receive a fair amount of repeat business with many of her regular riding students from the Rye, Portsmouth, North Hampton and Hampton area. However, she encourages tourists to visit her property, and many in recent years have come to see the horses or sign their kids and grandkids up for a few riding lessons.

“I love being able to introduce horses and riding to new people,” she said.

PEOPLE AND PLACES

ASTRID WIELENS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ZEBRA CROSSING In 2017 Zebra Crossing — a nonprofit that runs programs designed to empower youth and teens with chronic medical conditions — was handed the torch to continue the now 12-year tradition of the Moms on the Run Mother’s Day 5K, happening this year on Sunday, May 13, at 9 a.m. at Dover High School. See zebra-crossings.org for more details on the race and how to register.

Will you be running for or with your mother?

Actually I will not be running myself as I will be running behind the scenes to organize the event. We have probably about 25 to 30 volunteer teams that are helping out with the event, board members and community members, so that’s pretty wonderful. So I will be part of that crew making sure that everything runs smoothly.

What does race day look like? Do you notice a lot of moms with their families?

The race is in honor of all moms, including my own mom. It’s really to celebrate all mothers and their important role in all our lives. I think the neat thing about the Moms on the Run race is that we see a lot of multi-generational families. We have seen four or five generations all come together with the little ones in the strollers and the great-grandmothers who may be over 70 or even 80. So that’s really wonderful.

They’re all there to have a great family event and focus on each other and get off the couch and get active. So that’s really neat to see. I would say that probably 70 percent of the participants are women. We certainly welcome men in support of their spouses and parents.

How do you feel this event helps mothers and their families?

It truly is this opportunity to have a family activity together and honor moms and to be part of just this positive energy of coming together and being part of crowd of potential 800 to 1,000 participants that are all there. Having done an occasional road race myself in the past there’s just this incredible energy of being part of something bigger and knowing that you are also supporting a great cause.

Proceeds help Zebra Crossing. What does Zebra Crossing do?

We go at 2 p.m. and their something becomes nothing. every day to a different state park. So kids

to come together as community and be in that supportive and safe environment. And then we have an overnight camp that we do. That is specifically for kids ages 8 to 12 with asthma and we have actually families from all over New England as well as New York who travel to us to be part of that program. And it’s a chance for them to discover what they can do while managing their asthma well and to be in that new environment and explore their strength and be with other kids who can relate to them. … For a lot of them it’s discovering that if they take care of themselves they can do more than they think they can.

Are you from the Seacoast originally?

No, I’m actually from the Netherlands. I moved to the U.S. in 1996 for a one-year internship, and that resulted in working at a camp for 14 years and then I started Zebra Crossing. I was inspired by the work that I did there and when I was there we were approved by a group of pediatric cardiologists to help them with launching a camp for kids with general heart defects.

Seeing those kids every year coming back and hearing from them how much it meant to them to have their own peer community and to be with other kids who can relate to them and not feel so isolated, that really became the inspiration for me to start Zebra Crossing.

When you are not working or organizing 5Ks, what else do you like to do for fun?

My biggest hobby is going into the woods and going hiking. I love being in nature. I’m working on the 4,000-footers; I have about 12 to go. So my goal is to finish the 4,000-footers either this year or early next year. And I love to go mountain biking and just spending time with friends and family.

What do kids do as part of the programs?

They have a chance to play, to connect with others and to also discover what they can do with a chronic medical condition.

For the parents, a great thing is that we

will be able to explore those state parks.

We go canoeing, we go paddleboarding, swimming, we go explore in the woods, play group games. It’s really a regular camp experience but truly focusing on these kids

Where do you see yourself in five to 10 years?

I hope to slow down a little bit more. ... It’s been an incredible journey and I hope that in the next couple of years we can continue to grow and evolve and bring on more resources to get involved as well.

For me [I would like] to also have little bit more time to explore other avenues and to have a little bit more time at home and spending time doing my own activities.

ADVENTURE

By Ethan Hogan Where I went: Cycle Fierce, 2454 Lafayette Road, Portsmouth, Cyclefierce. com, 433-2453 What it is: A cycling studio where a group of riders are coached through an intense workout by an instructor. Two rows of bikes outline the perimeter of the dimly lit room, while the instructor is stationed on her bike in the center. The classes can range from 45 to 90 minutes in length. First rides are $10 and the new rider package is three rides for $29.

My experience: I’d never been to a spin class or indoor cycling class before but I’d read about it in my college jour-

nalism class, an article about the fitness phenomenon, as a way to learn about covering widespread trends. So I knew a bit about the mood lighting, the intense instructors, the passionate cyclists and the music that fuels it all.

I sat in the back row next to Dan, a middle-aged man training for a race in Maine. He said the race he was preparing for started in mountains and finished by the coastline. He saw the training studio as a place to train when the weather was bad.

SEACOAST SCENE | MAY 10 - 16, 2018 | PAGE 18

Owner and Master Instructor Jen Sebeny got me situated on my adjustable bike.

A knob underneath the handlebars adjusts the resistance. Turning it to the right increases the resistance and turning it left releases it.

Knowing it was my first time, Dan warned, “When she tells you to turn it up during the climbs, take it easy.”

The room was lit by warm, amber candle light. It was a packed house; every bike had a rider. The majority of riders were women.

I was in for a treat because I picked the day our class had two instructors.

After one instructor made us give it our all, the next instructor would jump on the bike and have us start up again. Angie Bloom was our first instructor. She got us warmed up by having us find our “baseline.” This was the level of resistance we felt comfortable going back to once we’d completed an intense interval.

Angie had her iPhone plugged into the sound system with a specially curated playlist to motivate us through the ride.

There were three different positions on the bike for the varying workouts we’d do on the ride: the neutral or baseline position with our hands on the flat part of the bars, then the slightinly more leaned forward version for sprinting and finally the climb position with our hand high up on the handlebars and our butts up out of the saddle.

Angie eazed us into the three different positions as the songs changed or the base dropped. When the song got intense we’d be climbing to the rhythm of the beat. The whole class would ebb and flow into a synchronized beat. If I blurred my eyes it felt like the dim room was filled with people playing tribal drums rather than cycling.

Tribe is, after all, one of the guiding principles of the studio.

Your vibe attracts your tribe.

Angie’s vibe was intense, uplifting, excited and resilient.

During the more intense burst of energy we would find ourselves in, I would sometimes think I was imagining the things she was saying.

“I want you to breathe through

your toes,” Angie said.

I didn’t know exactly what that meant but I felt like my body may have understood it. And as a newbie I was very aware of my cadence as it related to the riders around me. I wanted to be in sync with their pedal strokes. So I found myself trying not to think about my appearance as much and just digging into the ride.

The workout felt like climbing a mental mountain. We had to overcome our physical resistance as well has our brain’s tendency to ask us to stop.

Angie’s workout ended climactic with a series of bike push-ups while we were climbing. This was tricky to get the hang of but essentially while in the climbing position we would do a push-up motion along with the beat of the song. Forward, back, forward, back. Boom, boom.

Boom, boom. All while keeping our butts off the saddle and climbing the imaginary mountain.

Angie left and we were faced with a fresh instructor, Jen. She gave us the challenge: “You have two options; yes or yes,” Jen said.

Jen’s music selection was a little more classic and both instructors made time to hop off their bikes and get into the crowd. The

workout had the same general rotation of intensity-graded positions and energy burst, but now we had the added fatigue and motivation to go as hard as we could.

Jen let us know that it was our time to make it all worth it by not giving up.

“Are you having an adventure, Ethan?”

Jen said as she passed me.

“Yes!” I managed to get out between breaths.

The other riders had a better sense of when the class was going to be over so I was sort of flying blind. I had to pace myself so that I wouldn’t ruin the end of the workout but I also wanted to get the most out of it.

We ended on a uplifting song that eased us back into our baseline.

Jen had us do some post-workout stretch positions beside our bikes to keep us loose. After, in the lobby, she had prepared a Happy Hour where cyclists mingled.

Who should try this: Finding motivation to work out alone can be hard, so feeling the tribal energy in a group made it much easier to jump into. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a high-energy workout and is willing to try something new and different.

CAR TALK

Solar panels on cars a good idea but not practical Dear Car Talk: Is it technologically feasible to utilize a flat solar glass panel over (or as part of) a car roof in order to extend the driving range of battery-powered cars

By Ray Magliozzi on sunny days? House roof solar panels are raised and angled to catch the sunlight, but this obviously would not work in an automotive situation because drag coefficient would be increased, thereby resulting in severely diminished economy.

I seem to recall that a few years ago, Toyota used solar sunroofs to power an interior fan to ventilate hot interiors in some Prius models while they were parked. Could this technology be adapted in some way to recharge electric vehicle batteries so that driving range would be increased and dependency on plug-in recharging decreased in certain situations? — Michael Not until solar panels get a lot more efficient and cover a lot more of the car’s surface area, Michael. They just can’t produce enough power yet to make a meaningful difference.

You need to provide something like 36,000 watts to power a 50-horsepower elec-

tric motor (that’s less than most electric car motors, by the way -- the Chevy Bolt’s motor, for example, produces up to 200 horsepower). A typical solar panel, on the other hand, produces about 300 watts.

So, if you were willing to park out in the desert for like 10 days, you might be able to fully charge up your EV with one panel. But by then your dashboard would be cracked and melted. Not to mention the Snickers bars in your glove box.

I mean, you’re right that any extra power you add to the battery extends its range. It’s just not clear, when you factor in the energy output and the cost of the panel, that it makes economic sense yet.

Pretty soon, car panels themselves — roofs, hoods, trunks — will be able to be coated with a solar collection film. That will multiply the potential collection area. And over time, solar collectors themselves will get more efficient and be able to produce more energy. And if cars, and batteries, get lighter, that would help, too. So would autonomous cars, which could move around when “parked” to “catch the sun.” Kind of like kids on spring break.

But we’re not there yet, Michael. Write back to me in five years, and I’ll update you on the progress.

Dear Car Talk: I have a 2005 Pontiac Vibe with 63,000 miles on it. I bought it new and have had regular maintenance performed at the place of purchase. I recently took it in for an oil change, and was told that there is oil on top of the motor. They said the manifold needs to be replaced, for about $435. I took it to an independent garage that we have gone to for years, and they said it is the head gasket, and is about $1,500-$2,000 to repair. Why would this happen to my car? I am a 78-year-old woman who does not hot-rod her car. Who should I believe? It is not dripping oil on my garage floor. The mechanic at the independent garage said to keep an eye on the oil and add when needed. Help! — Ann I’d be tempted to take the advice of your independent mechanic, Ann, and just keep an eye on your oil level and top it up when necessary.

You don’t say how often you’ve had to add oil so far. That’s a key piece of information. If you have to add a quart every 1,500 miles, then there’s no urgency at all, and you can just keep an eye on it — perhaps for years. If you’re adding a quart every 500 miles, then some more investigation would make sense.

So start by monitoring your oil use. Have

the guy at the independent shop show you how to check the oil. You’d do it in the morning, before you drive the car. Check it once a week and see how many miles you drive before it gets down to the “ADD” line on the dipstick (meaning you’re down a quart).

If it is losing a quart in less than 500 miles, start by getting the engine steam-cleaned.

Between the wind blowing in through the grille and the general grimy disgustingness of engines, it can be hard to tell exactly where a leak is originating. By cleaning the engine and then checking the area again a week or so later, it can be a lot easier to see what’s actually leaking. If your mechanic has a dye system, he can put a special dye in the oil, and then look for the leak with a blacklight. If not, he can just do his best to trace it to its source.

If I had to take a wild guess, I would say the guy who suggested it’s the head gasket is more likely to be right. We see a lot of leaky head gaskets on these cars.

I also like his advice to watch and wait.

After all, at this age (the car’s, not yours, Ann) there’s no sense in doing anything rash, especially if your garage floor isn’t even getting dirty yet.

FOOD

AT 12 OCEAN GRILL (12 Ocean Boulevard, Seabrook Beach, 760-2182) may have only celebrated its one-year anniversary in March, but this seafood restaurant is owned and operated by the Conley family — no strangers to the restaurant business.

They have kept customers coming back to their State Street Saloon (now the Statey Bar and Grill) for the past 25 years and have retained some employees for just as long. General Manager Michael Conley talks about 12 Ocean Grill’s must-try dishes, new Keno game and a unique take on ordering “off the menu.”

How long has 12 Ocean Grill been around?

We’ve been open a year. It was a year March 10. The location [drew us here].

We’ve always wanted to be down by the beach area, and it was a good deal.

What makes 12 Ocean Grill unique?

It’s a different type of crowd, down at the beach; most of our clientele lives within walking distance. ... We’re originally from Lowell, Mass., [so] we have a lot of people who come up from Lowell or drive down from Portsmouth to come visit us.

We really have a good following because we were so established up in Portsmouth for 35 years. I have people who come up from Connecticut just to come visit us, say hello and see how the family is doing. It’s a family-run establishment, and I think people like that about us. About a month ago we got Keno in, and that really made things busier. [Customers] love coming in and having their lobster rolls, a cup of seafood chowder, and playing Keno. If there’s any product in the house and the customer

SEACOAST SCENE | MAY 10 - 16, 2018 | PAGE 22

[asks] for it … if they wanted fried bananas, and we have bananas in the house, they’re going to get friend bananas, and that’s what I’ve instilled in my cooks. If there’s a product in this kitchen and a person wants it a certain way, give it to them that certain way, and that person’s going to come back. They’re going to go, “Wow, they went out of their way to boil a hot dog for us.” That’s what we do.

What is your personal favorite dish?

We do a roasted barbecue chicken — we take half a chicken, roast it, and then we barbecue it, and you have your choice of potatoes, french fries … that’s my favorite dish. On the other hand, I really enjoy having one of our $6.99 lobster rolls, and our seafood chowder is very good, also.

What is a dish everyone should try?

If I could recommend anything to anybody — other than the roasted chicken — Greek salad with steak tips and a side of the lobster mac and cheese. That is to die for. And no one ever leaves here hungry;

everyone takes their food home because the portions are so big.

What is an essential skill to running a restaurant?

For one thing, you have to have patience and you have to realize that the customer is always right. … Even if they’re wrong, they’re still right! People go out because they want to be treated in a certain way, and that’s the way you should be treated when you go out to dinner. You don’t want a rude waitress or bad service. I think the key is a great value, low prices, a good portion, good service and good atmosphere. We have 31 TVs down here with all the games on them, and if someone wanted something different we could change it. You just

have to cater to the clientele and make sure they’re happy, and if they’re happy, we’re happy. That’s the theory that my father and I go by: If the customer’s happy, then the rest of us are going to be happy.

What is your favorite part of being on the Seacoast?

I live on Seabrook Beach, and the beach is my savior. I have two dogs, and I’m on the beach every morning at 6:30 running with them. When that sun comes up, my day just gets better. The beaches around here are beautiful. A lot of people take the Seacoast for granted, but it is a beautiful area. The Seacoast is an amazing place, it really is — it has something for everybody.

FOOD

Tasty food from fresh ingredients

Overripe fruit With the arrival of spring, and summer on the way, you’re likely to want more fresh fruit in your diet. There’s something about the warmer air that makes you want to eat and drink things that are refreshing and cool. Fruit provides that, to be sure.

One of the trickiest things about buying fresh fruit, however, is eating it before it spoils. I have a pint of strawberries in my fridge right now that is starting to turn.

Their hue is deepening and I know I’d better eat them fast or I’ll have to toss them.

Or will I? Many fruits become sweeter when they are overripe. The trick is to disguise the texture. For example, a brown overripe banana isn’t very appealing to eat, but throw it in banana bread and it’s perfect. The same happens with strawberries, pineapple and mangos.

While many fruits follow this pattern of increasing sweetness, I’m looking forBig Batch Overripe Puree 1 can organic low-fat coconut milk (better than the cartons as there are no additives) ¾ cup strawberries ¾ cup pineapple, chopped ¾ cup mango, chopped ½ banana Option 1: Popsicles Blend and freeze into pops as is.

ward to using the ones I’ve mentioned in a recipe.

My daughter, who is 5, recently asked my husband and me if Earth was ever going to die. While it’s kind of a dark question, it gave us an opportunity to talk to her about how to take care of the Earth. We had the chance to explain the “whys” of not wasting food, recycling, reusing, and conserving water. With a simple plan for how to use overripe fruit, she can be a part of our family’s effort to use all the food we purchase or grow. She can even help make the recipe I’m sharing today (well, not the cocktail!).

If you notice your fruit is going bad but you don’t have enough time to follow the recipe below, just bag your fruit and throw it in the freezer. Note that de-stemming or peeling the fruit first will make this much easier on the other end.

NH Renaissance Faire returns at new location

120858

Relive the days of jousting tournaments, wandering minstrels and dancing around a maypole when the New Hampshire Renaissance Faire returns for the next two weekends. The growing popularity of the event has led it to relocate this year from Three Maples Farm in Kingston to Brookvale Pines Farm in Fremont, but it will feature all the same Renaissance fun like music and theater performances, vendors, demonstrations, jousting and more.

“It started out very small, but grew and grew,” fair manager Marghi Bean said.

“This is our 14th year, and we still have some [fair volunteers and attendees] who have been with us since the beginning, and that’s really cool. It’s like a big family.”

The New Hampshire Renaissance Faire is unique in that it’s entirely family-friendly. Actors and performers refrain from the bawdy humor typical of the 1400s and 1500s, and there are all kinds of activities for kids and families, including games like Jacob’s Ladder, craft projects, archery, face painting, storytelling and an animal exhibit with exotic fish, birds, reptiles and small mammals. Young ladies can have tea with the Queen, and young pages can be knighted by one of the Queen’s Knights.

For the second year, the fair will also have a family tent with a changing table, books and toys for young children and a place for parents to sit down and take a break from all the excitement.

“We are a true family fair,” Bean said.

“At most [Renaissance] fairs, you don’t see too many kids, but we get a lot of kids here, and that’s something we’re proud of. We try to make it a lot of fun for them.”

There will be numerous actors and performers roaming the fair, including the Brotherhood of the Arrow & Sword, demonstrating fully armored live steel combat; Celtic minstrel duo The Misfits of Avalon; Brethren of the North East Seas, singing maritime songs; jousting group Les Jeux De Rois; belly dancing gypsies Shimmynanigans; Kate the Storyteller and many others.

“I think the fun thing about the actors is that a lot of stuff is unexpected and spontaneous,” Bean said. “They have an act that they’re working, but they can work off-thecuff just as easily. It’s very entertaining in that way.”

More than 70 merchants and craftspeople will sell a wide variety of goods like period clothing, crystals and precious stones, salves and soaps, pottery and glassware, artwork, jewelry and more, and some will demonstrate weaving, leatherwork,

jewelry-making and other crafts. Additionally, a few fantasy authors will be on site selling and signing their books, and service vendors will offer fortune telling and tarot card reading, massage, henna and more.

“They have almost everything you can imagine that’s geared toward Renaissance things,” Bean said.

Finally, there’s the food; vendors will sell hot dogs and hamburgers, barbecue, pretzels, nachos, falafel, fries, gourmet cotton candy, kettle corn, ice cream, frozen lemonade and more.

“We try really hard to have something for everyone,” Bean said. “You can get a decent meal if you’re really hungry, or you can get fun little snacks if you just want to snack.”

Bean encourages attendees to immerse themselves in the Renaissance atmosphere and leave the modern world behind for a day. For many, that means dressing up in period attire.

“Even people who come in normal clothing look around and get caught up in the fun of it,” Bean said. “They end up buying a costume and wearing it to the fair the next year.”

POP CULTURE An American Marriage, by Tayari Jones (Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, 306 pages) I loved this book.

An American Marriage is a beautiful and intense story about love, race, and deciding what it is that really constitutes a marriage. Roy and Celestial are introduced to each other by Andre (Dre), Celestial’s childhood friend. All are strong and independent people. Roy and Celestial soon become a young married couple — she’s a doll maker, he is a young business executive. The perfect couple.

Then Roy, a black man, is convicted of a crime he swears he didn’t commit.

By the time he’s released from prison after five years, his wife is quite naturally a different woman living a life Roy couldn’t have ever imagined with Dre. Ultimately, An American Marriage is a twisted love story woven around tragedy. It’s also a story about what marriage is, what can strain it, and how the union can be managed when things don’t go as

expected.

At times painfully bittersweet and at other times almost comical, this story uses a combination of first-person accounts and personal letters written between the characters while Roy is in prison. You get to hear what’s going on from the individual points of view. This writing technique provides an addictive and measured unraveling of the story. We learn bit by bit what makes the characters tick and why they act the way they do.

The characters in this story are messy, and even at times unlikeable. Roy, Celestial and Dre all hurt and are in serious pain — it’s complicated. But through Jones’ skillful writing, you stick with the story (even though you want to cuff some of the characters on the ear and ask, “what were you thinking?”)

Page after page you desperately want to know what happens to these flawed and yet earnest and very real people.

What is it they want? What will they be willing to do to achieve it? At what

price? You turn the page.

“I married Roy Othaniel Hamilton, whom I met for the first time when I was in college. Our connection wasn’t immediate. He considered himself a playboy in those days, and even at age nineteen, I was not one to play with.”

The title of this book feels appropriate. This is not a story about an American marriage where a happy family with happy children gather each Sunday for a grilled dinner in the backyard with their happy neighbors.

Instead An American Marriage is about idealistic youth, independence, racism, lives lost, and what family and love mean to those involved in the relationships. This is about a new kind of American marriage, one that’s emerged from the dark side of social injustice and one that is painful to follow.

With each personal letter and chapter, you are drawn into what you suspect will be the inevitable huge crash. There are no brakes in this book; you are propelled page by page until its conclusion (which I didn’t see coming — another indication of good writing.)

Jones’ writing is crisp, elegant and at times poetic. There’s not a page or even a paragraph that doesn’t move the plot forward. It’s tight. Every word counts and yet the author manages to clearly show characters’ emotions and personal struggles. If you appreciate good writing, this book will be a pleasure to read.

An American Marriage is an Oprah Winfrey Book Club 2018 Selection.

Oprah suggests that you read this book with another person or in a book club group as you will desperately want to discuss the themes and events with others (can you believe that Roy?).

I must agree, An American Marriage compels you to evaluate and think about what is going on in the book, as well as what is going on in our society. It’s an excellent book that makes you think outside of the pages and that’s exactly what

this one does.

Jones also wrote Silver Sparrow, another book about family deception and complicity. She’s very good about effectively writing with tremendous emotion, compassion and insight about the messy human dynamics that occur within families.

An American Marriage is a compelling story that will grab you in the first few pages and it won’t release its grip on you long after you’ve turned the last page.

This is a story that you could easily give up sleep for — well worth the read.

In the lasso

Brian Regan wants everyone laughing

SEACOAST SCENE | MAY 10 - 16, 2018 | PAGE 30

108622

Comedian Brian Regan has a reputation for doing a clean act, but in these polarizing times he has a more vital talent. He doesn’t go for laughs at anyone’s expense.

“Everyone in the lasso,” Regan says on his latest Netflix special, Nunchucks and Flamethrowers. His thoughts about the Israel-Palestine conflict boil down to sending over a “really good dad” who’ll treat it like two siblings fighting in the back seat of a station wagon. He’ll riff on Kim Jong Un outlawing sarcasm in North Korea. “I wonder if he proposed that to his team and one of his generals said, ‘Oh, yeah, that’ll work.’”

Fans will hear bits from another special in progress when Regan appears at Portsmouth’s Music Hall on May 12 for Courtesy photo. two shows. He spoke to the Scene by telephone in early March. political jokes. I want to do the kind of stuff that it doesn’t matter what side you’re on.

We were doing a silly back-and-forth interview, and he kept trying to take it in a dirty direction. I would take it off the dirty track he was doing and tried to make it sillier. It made me feel good to listen to that years later … my instincts were that way even before I knew I wanted to be a comedian.

sion and we’ll support you no matter what you want to do.” I look back and that to me was pretty tremendous.

I’ve heard you talk about being a shy person. … How did you make that leap into performing with that background?

I don’t think I’m unique in that way; it’s a personality quirk. There are a lot of performers who are socially awkward yet are more comfortable on stage. I’m more in control in front of 2,000 people than I am in a small group discussion at a party, because I don’t know what other people are going to say or who is going to walk in the door. When I’m on stage I decide what I am going to say, when and how I am going to say it. But in a social gathering, it’s a lot trickier.

I’ve heard you say that you work clean because to try to be 5 percent blue and to keep an audience would be impossible.

I think I was always instinctively clean.

Your brother came into comedy a few years after you. How do you relate now that you are both comics?

He and I auditioned together our first time on stage. We followed Jerry Seinfeld, who hadn’t been on the Tonight show yet.

We were dying laughing, and we knew we were going on next so we were partly enjoying the heck out of his set but partly nervous because we know we’re following this guy. But while we were watching him I was thinking … this is the funniest guy I have ever seen, and if nobody has heard of him, I don’t know if I want to get into this business! That night, Dennis and I … absolutely bombed. I’m glad there is not a tape of it; it was absolutely horrible. And then Dennis kind of got cold feet and said, “I don’t think I need this in my life.” So I went solo and had been doing it about five years, and his love for it was rekindled. ...

He started doing it his own way about five years after I had been out there.

job. Too bad you were laid off last week.

• Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoid saying things you might possibly regret. In fact, do us all a favor and just don’t open your mouth at all today.

• Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may soon make a commitment or promise that will change your life forever. Avoid friends with connections to the mob.

Something for Every Season

• Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let anyone stand in your way, unless the person is much bigger than you.

• Aries (March 21-April 19): You’re one of those people who enjoys being miserable. Based on that, you must currently be having a great time.

• Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today you’ll finally get what you’ve earned.

Unfortunately, what you’ve earned is a punch in the face.

• Gemini (May 21-June 20): Unexpected changes to your current position will develop. For instance, you may finally get up off the couch.

• Cancer (June 21-July 22): Today you should put all your time and effort into your

• Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re a forward thinker, but you’re still backwards in pretty much everything else.

• Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re handsome! You’re smart! You’re popular!

I’m a huge liar!

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Do not climb!

The Black Panther isn’t feeling the love in South Korea lately. The Walt Disney Co. sent two statues of the superhero to Busan to celebrate Marvel Studios’ filming along Korea’s southern coast.

But on March 17, according to The Korea Herald, a 32-year-old drunk man was arrested after he vandalized the statue in the Gwangbok-ro shopping district, and on April 21, the statue near Gwangalli Beach was toppled and part of its head broken off. An official from the Korea Film Council thought someone had probably tried to climb the statue, despite numerous off-limits signs.

Oops!

In the seaside village of Lytham St Annes, England, Douglas Cholmondley Travis, an 88-year-old member of the local Neighborhood Watch, was on patrol Oct. 10, 2017, when he and an 87-yearold watch colleague noticed a van turning into Lytham Park Cemetery. Regarding the vehicle as suspicious, they began taking pictures of it until Antony James, driver of the van, there only to visit family graves, grew angry and stopped, according to Metro News. James got out of his van to confront Travis, causing a panic, according to defense attorney Robert Castle, that resulted in James being knocked down by the Neighborhood Watch vehicle and Travis charged for reckless driving and assault. “This is all terribly sad,” Castle told Blackpool Magistrates Court in late April, as his client is “one of the eyes and ears of the police.”

Travis was fined 40 pounds plus court costs.

• Police officers in the German town of Neustadt were called April 25 to an apartment building after reports of screaming led neighbors to suspect domestic violence, the Daily Mail reported. Instead, they found a couple receiving instruction in the Japanese art of Shibari erotic bondage from the apartment’s tenant. (“Shibari” translates as “the beauty of tight binding.”) In a statement titled “Fifty Shades of Neustadt,” police reported the couple were “well and in a good mood,” even asking the officers if they’d like to join in, but they had to decline.

Look-alikes

Dolores Leis, 64, of Nanton in Galicia, Spain, is a modest wife and potato farmer. But thanks to the internet, she has found fame as “Trump’s Galician sister.”

The Associated Press reports that a journalist researching farming posted a photo of Leis at her farm on Instagram, and the striking resemblance between her and the U.S. president caught the attention of the SEACOAST SCENE | MAY 10 - 16, 2018 | PAGE 38

web. “I say that it must be because of the color of the hair,” Leis told La Voz de Galicia on April 24. She added that she’s not overwhelmed by the sudden attention because, unlike her doppelganger, she doesn’t use a mobile phone and isn’t much interested in online chatter. “I look at everything that my daughters show me, but it never stung my curiosity to have (a phone),” she said.

Misguided

Greyhound Bus passengers were frustrated on April 19 after their trip to New York was delayed by mechanical trouble and navigational challenges. The ride started in Cleveland, where the scheduled departure time was 2:30 a.m., passengers told WEWS-TV, but the bus didn’t leave until 6 a.m. After crossing into Pennsylvania, the bus turned around, and the driver explained he was returning to Cleveland because of mechanical difficulties. However, the driver missed Cleveland and drove all the way to Toledo before realizing the mistake and heading back to Cleveland. “We were on this bus for seven hours just going in a circle,” said passenger Morgan Staley.

Police Chief Donald Pussehl told MLive. fingerprints, the U.S. Marshals Service com that people often choose odd names returned him to custody. for their Wi-Fi networks, adding that one on his own street is called “FBI surveil- New World order lance van.”

Bathing news

• Evelyn Washington, 29, broke then crawled through a window in a Monroe, Louisiana, home on April 17, then settled into a warm bath with a bag of Cheetos and a large plate of food within reach on the toilet lid. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that when the homeowner returned from work around 5 p.m., she called police, who removed Washington to the Ouachita Correctional Center, where she told them “an unknown male told her to break into the victims’ residence.”

• On April 4, a homeowner in the Longton area of Stoke-on-Trent, England, returned home to discover a man bathing in his tub and enjoying a cup of Oxo (broth), according to the BBC. When police arrived, the 36-year-old naked man tried to flee but was caught and arrested.

The homeowner complained: “He ate me crisps, had five rounds of corned beef and sauce, ate a jar of pickles, had two ice creams and a can of Coke.”

What’s in a name?

A Planet Fitness customer in Saginaw Township, Michigan, was alarmed April 15 to find a Wi-Fi network named “remote detonator” while searching for an available connection. The gym manager evacuated the building and called police, who brought in a bomb-sniffing dog and declared the facility safe after a three-hour shutdown. Saginaw Township

PET OF THE WEEK Sometimes our hearts skip a collective beat when a special dog enters the shelter. Such was the case when we met Rudy. He had several medical issues and significant hair loss. Already, though, he is responding well to good care and proper treatment. He’s a great old guy. Rudy is just over seven years old. He’s a Great Dane mix with a regal bearing, despite his present circumstances. He has spent some time in foster care and was a perfect gentleman there. He loves to play fetch but settles down quickly when playtime is over. He’s very mellow in the home, great on a leash and is completely housebroken. Rudy needs a quiet, loving home as the only canine and he needs a new chance to enjoy life again. If there are children in his forever home, they should be older and respectful of a dog who has been through quite a lot. He does have ongoing skin issues that will need continued treatment and care. Like all the animals available for adoption at the New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham, Rudy is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all his shots. Visit nhspca.org or call 772-2921.
