A WORD FROM LARRY

Master McGrath’s

Happy Memorial Day Welcome to our Seacoast Scene Summer Guide, our official kickoff to summer. This issue is loaded with fun events that are happening in the Seacoast area throughout the season. Keep a Larry Marsolais copy handy and turn to it whenever you’re looking for something to do. Memorial Day weekend is upon us already. What will you be doing? There are those backyard cookouts with family and friends that always seem to go late into the night. Take a little “you time” to sit back and relax and just enjoy the company. Or maybe you’re taking a weekend getaway trip, to the beach, lake or mountains. This weekend is also the start of the camping

season. It is always good to get away from your everyday surroundings and enjoy something different. Whatever you do, try to get to a parade or special ceremony — after all, Memorial Day is a time to honor those who gave their lives for our country and to recognize those who served. Take the time to thank someone who was in the service or still is, or call someone that you know and thank them. Have a safe and happy Memorial Day! As always, I would love to hear from our readers. Feel free to call me any time at 603-935-5096 to discuss local issues or to place an ad. Larry Marsolais is the general manager of the Seacoast Scene and the former president of the Hampton Rotary Club.

Come have some fun!

PEOPLE AND PLACES

BJORN MROZ VIKING REENACTOR Bjorn Mroz is a member of Draugar Vinlands, a Viking reenactment group based in Exeter. The group meets weekly and tours the region representing the Viking life with everything from battles to basket weaving. You can find a list of their upcoming events or information to join at draugarvinlands.com What does the name Draugar Vinlands mean? It literally translates to the ghost of Vinland or the undead of Vinland. We chose it because of our proximity to the Viking site Vinland, which is the only real, truly established site of the Vikings in North America. It’s up in L’Anse aux Meadows in Canada by Newfoundland. We chose [the name] based on our proximity to that, being a North American group of people who are very interested in the Viking age. We wanted to embody the traveling spirit of the Vikings, their exploring nature and the fact that they came over to this area as well and have a presence in America as well as in Europe. How did this group come together? I’m one of the early members, I’m not the founder. The guy who created our group, his Viking name is Aim Var Sheld Knocker, he’s our yarl, the head of the group, the king essentially. He was a reenactor for a long time. He did a lot of World War II reenactment and he wanted something that was very close and dear to his heart, which was his ancestors and exploring and that kind of nature of

things. So he would become immersed in the writings and the stories, the mythology, stories he heard growing up, things like that. And he delved into his own personal history as well. He decided to start up his own group and cultivated it from there and let it be what it was going to be, whether it was going to be a small group at first or whether it was going to bloom and explode and get a lot of interest. Slowly he gathered people who shared that scholarly intent. How did you get involved with the group? I met up with a few people, I ran into them at a heavy metal concert and they were dressed like Vikings and I thought that it was absolutely incredible because I had a huge interest myself since I was a boy. So I ran up to them and started talking to them and I found out that I actually lived close by to where they meet up. The next weekend I was out in the woods with them fighting with shields and swords dressed up like a Viking. What originally drew you to the Viking life as a boy? I feel like every boy has that desire to be like a knight in shining armor or fighting with sticks and swords or wanting to be heroic and living with honor and things like that. I always kind of had that growing up, it was always a huge passion of mine. But I was never really drawn to the typical knight in shining armor, I

liked more of the rugged, realistic guys in simple chainmail, shield and sword. I just always had that interest with me. Going further into it, I started to learn about the mythology and the folklore. As I got older I started to delve into the history and just kind of took it from there. What does Viking life look like? It takes a lot of forms. Within our group specifically, we started off as a very militaristic, combat-oriented group. So we would spar a lot, one on one or small groups three on three. And then as we started to get more members and get more interest and have people who wanted to experience more than just the fighting aspect, we started to evolve through that. We incorporated a lot more elements to our camp life. We evolved from just this straight, purley militaristic force to something a little bit more wellrounded. We started getting into camping and crafting and weaving, jewelry making, wood carving, leather work. What are some of the ways that you prepare or study the material to keep it authentic? We pretty much require you read the sagas and specifically one called Egil’s Saga. As a group we find him fascinating because he seems to embody everything that a typical Viking would be. He was a warrior, he was a farmer, he was a poet, he was a father, he was just an amazing man in all aspects. So we require that as a reading for our group to kind of understand how a Viking might have been. But a lot of what we do in terms of research is rooted and deeply founded in archaeological discoveries and historical documentation. A number of us, including myself, studied history in school and majored in history in college. The actual historical evidence is of huge fundamental importance to us. Where do you perform the reenactments? We usually secure ourselves in our own little area. We have a section of woods that we swath out for ourselves and build a little encampment. We usually go back there to more fully immerse ourselves in the setting because that’s a big part of our reenactment. We don’t dress in T-shirts and jeans and go out. We fully don period authentic clothing and try to leave the modern world behind so we can really get a sense of what it was like to really be a Viking or to be in that

time period. … We meet up pretty much once a week for the whole year. To really engage in it and live in it and get the full experience. Would you go back to Viking times if you knew you couldn’t come back? I would love to see what it was like. Oh man, it depends on who I could take with me. That’s a tough question. I think I might just for the historical aspect of it and to just see, without question, what life was like and how people acted, without any speculation, just to see it one hundred percent authentically. I would kill for that opportunity. Yeah, I would do it. Do you have Viking in your ancestry? My family is primarily Irish, Norwegian and Polish. A lot of that has roots in the Viking age. When you are not doing Viking reenactments, what else do you like to do for fun? I like to be outside and experience nature. When it gets warmer, me and my girlfriend go on a lot of hikes and go out in nature and walk — just generally try and be outside and enjoy the elements. A lot of my interest in Vikings has influenced my hobbies … so often times I will pick up a hobby that is related to the reenactment, like tablet weaving or leatherworking. … That takes up a fair amount of my time. — Ethan Hogan

Where I went: A drumming circle at the Drum Center of Portsmouth, 144 Lafayette Road, North Hampton, drumcenternh.com, 319-8109 What it is: A gathering of beginner and experienced djembe African hand drum players who jam out and teach each other techniques and beats. The circle is open to the public and costs $10. My experience: Under a railroad bridge and next to a stream in the middle of the night somewhere in York County, Pennsylvania, was my first experience with a drum circle. Surrounding a fire, that circle had no schedule or true purpose. Now, years later, I got to experience a more accessible and educational circle that was still able to tap into the wildness of the fire circle. Dawn Lake is a veteran who discovered the healing aspects of hand drumming after returning home from her service. She is part of Drum It Up, a group that helps injured veterans deal with PTSD and other service-related injuries through drumming and music. Dawn got me situated next to her in the

drumming circle so I could follow along with some of the introductory notes. The djembe drum is held between the legs at a slight angle away from the body so that the sound can reverberate out of the drum’s hollow body. Hitting the drum at its center with the palm of the hand produces a bass sound while hitting it closer to the outside with the fingers produces a tone. The bass helps keep the beat while the tone adds more rhythm. “The circle is part of what keep the group together,” Dawn said. I could feel the eagerness in the room as the circle of people politely refrained from banging on their drums while Dawn spoke. Everyone, or at least everyone’s hands, were eagerly anticipating the coming of a beat. I could tell they just wanted to play. Without much announcement or direction, one of the more experienced players, Marty Quinn, started playing his cajon. A cajon is a box-shaped percussion instrument that has more of a treble sound than a drum. As he played, the circle instinctively caught on to his beat and started supporting the rhythm with the deeper sound of the djembe. The music moved around the room and occasionally flared up with different sounds and spurts of experimentation from the other players. I jumped in where I could but kept my striking quiet at first so I wouldn’t embarrass myself. We were jamming, and without much experience I was able to contribute a sound here or there that fit the group’s song. Next, carpenter Rick Morris started the jam with his custom-made upright cajon. He’d grown tired of hunching over 30

28 to play the instrument so he made his own that he could rest on a table at chest height, allowing him to stand and play. “I’ve been playing with wooden boxes for a long time,” Morris joked. He knew what he was doing and got us started with a fast beat. We joined in once again and started to pull together a nice song that never really had an end. The group was getting comfortable with each other’s sounds and Dawn decided to teach us simple beats that we could all use together. She taught us some rhythms she’d learned that had originated from West Africa. Once we learned them all, Dawn had one side of the circle start with a beat and the other side overlap with a different beat. Now we all had the same arsenal of beats to choose from and the idea was to rotate through them. The problem for me was that I could only remember the last beat I’d played. So Dawn was there to lead me back into a rhythm. I would look at her hands and jump in when the timing was right. Eventually I got the hang of two distinct beats that I could rotate between depending on where the song went. It was the natural flow of the music to never stagnate for too long. If the group’s sound became too homogenous, someone would inevitably break out into a different but complementary sound. For a beginner like me, it was comfortable to stay close to the center of the beat. It was

easier to maintain the steady rhythm than to try and create a new sound that complemented the whole. But when I did experiment it was often quite thrilling. I would throw my sound out into the song that flooded the room and see if it could stay with the stream. The feeling of being connected with the beat is like a lifeline. When you’re in it it’s comforting and energizing, but when you lose it and fall out of rhythm it’s shocking and you clamour to get back in. Now that we’d jammed with the common vocabulary of beats, we tried again to have a unique instrument lead us into a song. This time, a member had brought her buffalo drum. The drum was held with one hand and hit with a stick adorned with a soft striking ball. The sound and look were more Native American but the common thread of music was unifying. The buffalo drum became a test of the group’s synchronicity as the woman played a faster beat. Dawn felt us losing the beat several times and had us restart. Eventually, though, we got the hang of it and gave the buffalo drum a worthy song that again filled the store. Who should try this: Our group had middle-aged men and women as well as a teenager and myself. Dawn helps veterans heal through the playing of the drums, but I think anyone can end up feeling moved at this drum circle. — Ethan Hogan

Contra is the craze

Seacoast Contra to host May dance in Newfields Have you ever wondered what it means to do-si-do? Come find out for yourself at the next Seacoast Contra dance on Friday, May 25, at Newfields Town Hall. Seacoast Contra, a local nonprofit dance group, has been celebrating the New England tradition of contra dance since April 2016. The group meets the last Friday of each month for a night of live music, socializing and good old-fashioned contra dancing. People of all ages are welcome to join. You do not have to come with a partner, and it does not matter if you are an experienced folk dancer or if it is your first time. According to Patti Maxwell, the organizer of Seacoast Contra, contra dancing is fun and easy to learn. It differs from country line dancing and square dancing because there is no difficult footwork involved; it is more like walking to music. A caller will always prompt dancers on which moves to make, until they are able to memorize the sequence.

Although contra dance has undergone a revival in the last few decades, it was most popular during the days of the American Revolution. “American colonials loved to dance, but they didn’t want to be seen doing anything ‘English,’ Maxwell said. “To stray away from traditional English country dancing they adopted the French name ‘contre danse.’ The name has since lived on as contra dance.” Today, contra dance involves many of the same formations and progressions as years ago, but it has also evolved. For instance, dances have become more energetic and the tempos are generally faster than they were in the past. “Contra dance requires certain metrical forms, but fiddle styles and repertoires can vary,” fiddler Burt Feintuch said. “There is a northern New England tune repertoire, but you can also hear music from Ireland, Scotland, Cape Breton, Quebec, the Appalachian South and beyond at many dances.” Feintuch is a member of the Lamprey River Band, and he is also part of a duo with pianist Bill Zecker. The pair calls themselves the BurtandBill Boys, and they will perform at Seacoast Contra’s next dance. “We will play a mix of tunes for Seacoast Contra. Lately I’ve been interested in learning the music from Quebec so we’ll be featuring a fair bit of that repertoire,” says Feintuch. “This will be our first time in Newfields,” Zecker said. “Anyone out for a good time is welcome to dance or observe this New England tradition.” A contra dance would not be complete without a live band setting the tempo for the evening, but of equal importance to the band is the person orchestrating which movements to make. Known as the “caller” in the contra community, this individual typically stands on stage with

the band and instructs the dancers on how to progress through each number, whether the next move is to “swing” or to “box the knat.” “The caller’s responsibility is to host a party. There are technical requirements specific to calling, but first and foremost you’re helping a community come together and have a good time,” said Luke Donforth, a contra dance caller. “It involves working with the band to match tunes with dances, working with the organizers to know local preferences and styles, and prompting a dance until the dancers have it memorized. The prompting is there as long as the dancers need it, but it eventually fades out so that they can really sink in and enjoy the music.” Donforth has traveled all over the U.S. and Canada calling contras, and he is looking forward to calling Seacoast Contra’s next dance. “I’m happy to be a part of the connected network of callers, dancers, and

organizers; it’s amazing how many close friends I still have to meet in towns I haven’t been to yet,” Donforth said. “I’d encourage anyone who enjoys lively music and wants to connect with their community to come out and try contra dancing. You don’t need a partner or predance lessons. I’ll teach you everything you need to know.” Seacoast Contra’s upcoming dance will start at 8 p.m. and end at 10:30 p.m. There will be a 30-minute walk-through at 7:30 p.m. for beginners. The cost to attend is $9 for adults, and $6 for students. Children under 12 are free, and the cost for families with children is $15. Packed snacks are recommended and it is advised that dancers come dressed in comfortable shoes and clothing.

CAR TALK

Time to trade out Old Reliable for new Subaru? Dear Car Talk: Nearly 16 years ago, I purchased a Saturn SL for a miserly $9,600. I thought it might last a couple of years and would be chucked for something fancier later By Ray Magliozzi on. Well, 305,000 miles later, my Saturn has proven to be the most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’ve never been stranded or have failed to get wherever I needed to go, mile after mile. It continues to run flawlessly, even with its original clutch and rear brakes! Last year I purchased a new Subaru Crosstrek, figuring that my Saturn couldn’t go on forever. The Subaru has been sitting for months, waiting for its garagemate to go to automotive Valhalla. So, do I continue to drive my reliable and economical Saturn, or put it out to pasture so I can drive my more comfortable Subaru? — Pat Look, Pat: If you’ve driven a base-model Saturn SL for 305,000 miles, you have done your penance. No further bad luck will ever befall you. And since it’s never left you stranded, now is an excellent time to quit while you’re ahead — and you are ahead. Of course, I probably would have said that to you if you’d written to me 150,000 miles ago.

But seriously, you have a nice new car. It’s sitting in the garage depreciating. It also will be reliable (cars, in general, are much more reliable than they were 16 years ago). not to mention safer, more comfortable and better handling. And your backseat passengers won’t have to work around that stripper pole. I think you should donate the Saturn to some high-school or college kid who needs a car to get to school or work. That should go a long way toward eliminating any guilt you feel about moving on. Your old Saturn can continue to serve honorably. You’ve more than gotten your money’s worth out of the Saturn. And it’s likely that its longevity was, at least in part, related to you. You probably drive gently and take good care of your cars. So there’s no reason to think your new Subaru won’t also keep going until you’re sick of it and it’s an embarrassment to your friends and family. Dear Car Talk: Help! After almost 60 years of driving, I have two questions that have me puzzled. On my new 2018 Nissan Murano, they are recommending a brake fluid change every 30,000 miles. I have never heard of this — I thought that other than adding fluid due to a leak, this closed hydraulic system fluid

would last the life of the car. Is this a necessary item, or just a way for the dealer to make money? Secondly, the vehicle came with synthetic-blend motor oil with a 0W-20 viscosity rating. When I change the oil for the first time, I am planning to use 5W-30 HD non-synthetic oil, as I always did with my 2006 Murano that I just traded in. Can I do this, or must I always use the synthetic blend that the vehicle came with? — Tony I’ll answer your oil question first, Tony: You should use the synthetic oil. It’s better oil. It provides better lubrication; it’ll give you better mileage and better longevity. The engineers and technicians at Nissan, who have a combined 32,700 years of college education, figured out the tolerances and the lubrication requirements for your engine, and if you use some thick, old sludge in there, you could harm the engine and void the warranty. Regarding the brake fluid, lots of manufacturers are now recommending that you change the brake fluid every 30,000 miles. It’s not a completely closed system. As the brake pads wear out, the fluid level drops, and some air must get in there to replace that lost fluid. There’s moisture in that air, so the brake fluid has to absorb the moisture to keep water from rusting the brake lines, the

master cylinder, the caliper pistons and your ABS (antilock braking system) components. So eventually, the brake fluid will need to be changed to protect those parts. Whether 30,000 miles is the longest you can go, I don’t know. We do sometimes see cars with 150,000 miles on them with their original brake fluid. But I can’t recommend that approach to you. First of all, most of those cars have had a “de-facto” brake fluid change somewhere along the way, when they sprung a leak or had major brake work done. Second, the risk with old brake fluid is that it gets saturated with water and can no longer hold enough water in suspension. Then the water starts to corrode your brake components. You probably can guess what happens after that (it ends with a brake pedal that goes to the floor and you uttering a four-letter word). Or, if you’re lucky enough to catch it earlier, you’ll end up spending hundreds of dollars to replace brake parts, and using that same two-word phrase when you see the bill. So I would say if it’s not prohibitively expensive — and I’d say the job should be in the neighborhood of $100 to $150 for an average car — it’s a small price to pay every 30,000 miles for peace of mind.

AT THE BEACH PLUM Serving up its award-winning lobster rolls year-round, the Beach Plum (with locations in North Hampton, Epping and Portsmouth) is the perfect stop when you’re in the mood for seafood. With both indoor and outdoor dining options and an expanded menu that includes burgers, salads and wraps plus a wide variety of ice cream, there’s something for everyone enjoy. We spoke with Lorraine Petrini, director of marketing, about the history of the establishment, its three locations, and her personal favorite menu items. How long has The Beach Plum been around? Nancy Lee and her friend opened The Beach Plum in 1992 at North Hampton state beach as a breakfast and lunch restaurant. A year later we moved to a better location and The Beach Plum became a take-out food and ice cream stand. That original location continues to operate seasonally April through October each year. Based on extraordinary growth at that beach location, [Nancy’s] husband Bob opened a second Beach Plum location in Portsmouth in 2011, and in 2015 the Epping location was opened. Portsmouth and Epping locations have an expanded menu, featuring award-winning fried seafood. Both [locations have] indoor and outside deck dining.

I buy bell peppers every single week. I find them incredibly versatile. They are delicious raw, perfect in a Mexican dish and a must in a stir-fry. I enjoy every color and can always find them in good condition at the market. Since peppers love warm environments, they’re not particularly easy to grow outside in New Hampshire. Certain local farms have them (starting from seed in a greenhouse, no doubt) and I can always find plant starts at my local farmers market, but I rarely have luck! Peppers love the heat and since they take around 80 days to mature, our summers are just a bit too short to guarantee a good crop. Unsurprisingly, California grows the majority of bell peppers in the United States. My hope is to have a greenhouse one day and you’d better believe bell peppers will be first on my list of vegetables to grow! Most notably, bell peppers contain a ton of vitamin C, 157 percent of one’s daily

value per cup to be exact (according to whfoods.org). They’re also rich in vitamins B6 and A, and contain around 10 percent DV of folate. Since they’re quite low in calories, 29 per cup, they offer incredible bang for your buck. They’re filling and nutritious but won’t put you over the edge on calorie consumption if you’re watching your weight. Here are my top five uses for bell peppers: Raw in salads.

The Jarvis family officially opened Black Bear Vineyard out of their home in Salisbury almost two years ago, in what was supposed to be a “soft opening” year. But after some attention from WMUR-TV’s annual “best winery in the state” poll (they were named third) and some word of mouth, they ran out of wine by fall. In fact, by the time I visited they were almost out of wine. I recently had the chance to catch up with owners Ted and Kelly Jarvis during a Mother’s Day visit with my mom, making sure I went early enough in the season. We were in luck, because this year they partnered with a chocolatier, La Cascade du Chocolat, based in Exeter, which made chocolates to complement each of their wines. I’ve only ever had red wines paired with chocolate, so I was skeptical at first, but my doubts went away once I tried the pairings. And the chocolate was really good, too. They currently have five wines available, all made from grapes grown right on site in the vineyard: La Crosse, paired with 72 percent Venezuelan dark chocolate. This was my favorite wine, mainly because it is so crisp and light, and perfect for a warm summer day. Seyval, paired with white chocolate. I got to try this wine the last time I was there, and it was better than I remember. This was my mom’s favorite wine. It is a grape that grows well in the New England climate. It is crisp, with pleasant acidity and just a little hint of sweetness. The white chocolate really brought out the notes of the wine. La Crescent, paired with Brazilian double-fermented 55 percent dark chocolate. This was the sweetest of the three white wines, with notes of apricot and passion fruit, which went really well with the chocolate. Salisbury Red, paired with 64 percent chocolate from Madagascar. This wine is Ted’s secret blend, resulting in a beautiful pink, almost rosé-colored wine. This wine is described as lively and vibrant, and would be great for any time of year. I think this is the one that Kelly said had a certain sparkle when paired with the chocolate, and I agreed. Maréchal Foch, paired with 66 percent Caribbean dark chocolate. This is another grape that grows well in cold-

Black Bear Vineyards.

er climates. It can be enjoyed at room temperature or even chilled. I like it because it is different from other reds and also goes really well with chocolate. Both the wines and the chocolates (shaped like bears, of course) are available for purchase so you can enjoy them

together even after your visit.

While Ted has long-term plans, his short-term plans include planting some additional La Crescent and Frontenac vines, as well as making some Leon Millot next year now that those vines are a couple of years old. In the future, he said, he hopes to offer a selection of 10 to 12 estate wines, and to bring in grapes and make other varieties like cabernet sauvignon or chardonnay. As Ted told me last time, “wine is made in the vineyard,” and it is evident how much work and care they put into it. One of the things I like most about visiting Black Bear is that Ted and Kelly welcome you in like you are part of their family. In addition to welcoming guests to the tasting room, they have been hosting events against the vineyard’s picturesque backdrop, including weddings, family reunions and more. Black Bear Vineyard is located at 289 New Road in Salisbury. Their seasonal hours are noon to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. More information is available at blackbearvineyard.com or on their Facebook page. — Stefanie Phillips

When Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, it was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime storm. Nevertheless, instances of extreme weather have only increased during the last decade and they are ravaging Americans’ homes. Just last year Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria quickly became three of the costliest storms in U.S. history, and the affected communities are still rebuilding well into 2018. The physical and emotional damage wrought by these storms inevitably brings people together as they support each other during their time of need. The indelible mark of meteorological tragedy and the importance of home are central themes to Robin MacArthur’s debut novel. Heart Spring Mountain tells the story of three generations of Vermont women who live on the titular mountain at various points in time. MacArthur flits through half a dozen characters’ perspectives across 60 years to illustrate how each generation relates to its secluded surroundings in different ways. Our first protagonist is Vale, who left her heroin-addicted mother Bonnie and their Vermont town eight years prior. She blames their isolation for her mother’s vice. However, when her aunt Deb tells her that Bonnie has gone missing during the 2011 Tropical Storm Irene, Vale knows she has to return home to look for Bonnie. Vale has been tending bar in New Orleans for the last few years, and she sees how Hurricane Katrina still haunts her friends and coworkers. Some lost siblings and parents. Others lost their homes. But regret runs deep in everybody who thought they could have done more to help others. Vale doesn’t know if she’ll be able to find her estranged mother, but she has to try. We glimpse Bonnie’s perspective briefly before she goes missing, and then MacArthur rotates through Vale, aunt Deb, and sisters Lena and Hazel to see Vermont through their eyes. Back in 1974, Deb’s friends are dying in Vietnam so she seeks out a commune in rural Vermont, hoping to find an idyllic home away from society. She embraces a self-reliant hippie lifestyle to become closer to the earth. She cherishes nature and can’t stand to see it plundered by pointless war. But her mother-in-law Hazel considers Deb an intruder, thinking that she “wanted to take this place and Hazel’s son in her slender fist and turn it into some kind of fantasy, walk the hillsides in a poetic reverie. But what did she really know about any of it? Of who made those beautiful, now crumbling walls, of the blood and sweat and work that went into these now overgrowing fields?” Hazel’s great-great-grandfather had settled their family on this hillside in 1803, and she and her sister Lena know all of its

secrets. By contrasting Deb’s new appreciation for Heart Spring Mountain and Hazel’s profound love of her ancestral homeland, MacArthur raises the question: when do you get to call someplace home? The truth is that the area where Hazel’s family settled doesn’t belong to them any more than it belongs to Deb. Vermont used to be the home of the Abenaki tribe, so MacArthur threads in some details to hint at the atrocities white settlers committed against Native Americans to steal their land. One minor character is an Abenaki woman who was forcibly sterilized alongside other women in her tribe so the Abenaki lineage couldn’t continue. Vale also discovers that one of her distant grandmothers could have belonged to the Abenaki tribe. Throughout Vale’s childhood, Bonnie had proudly

claimed that their family had Native American heritage, but Vale had always thought Bonnie was appropriating Native American culture. Now that Bonnie’s Abenaki lineage turns out to be true, Vale suddenly feels drawn to the hills, the trees and the creek that she had hated as a child. It feels distasteful for a mostly white character to suddenly appreciate nature because her many-greats-grandmother may have been Abenaki, when in reality most of her relatives would have driven the tribe from their own homeland. Although MacArthur’s attempt to incorporate this Native American history feels a little clumsy, it is commendable for her to try to ensure it lives on. There are many generations who have called this place home, and not all of them have voices anymore. MacArthur manages to juggle the different perspectives with ease so you don’t lose sight of each character’s goals and shortcomings, despite the time-hopping. She threads the decades together by taking stock of the other tropical storms, extreme weather events and natural disasters that were happening around the world during each time period. This forces the characters to then take stock of their own lives and gain their own unique appreciation for Heart Spring Mountain. Hazel is born with her appreciation, Deb seeks hers out, and Vale finds hers along the way. Perhaps they smooth over some interpersonal relationships that they otherwise wouldn’t have tried to repair. MacArthur’s message is clear — let bygones be bygones, because when tragedy strikes, the support from the people in our communities is how we survive. B — Katherine Ouellette

for most of them, echo his thoughts. “It always feels great, absolutely,” Gynan said. “We’re always booked and we tour. It’s fun, and we keep going with it, keep growing. That’s the way you do it.” Out of the Ashes was released in mid-2017. It’s due to be followed up by Descending, a 14-track album now being mixed. Hopefully, the new effort will include “Jailbreak,” if rights issues can be resolved. The track was done on short notice with producer Johnny K. (Disturbed, Megadeth), Gynan reported. “We were in Arizona getting ready to fly to Boston, but instead we got called to Chicago to record,” Gynan said. Bouncing around the country is an article of faith for the band, which will return to the Midwest in June, with stops in Iowa and Illinois. During that time they’ll head back to Chicago for work on Jezebeth, a vampire series from director Damien Dante that features their song “No Soul.” It also includes speaking roles for Eve and Eric — a first. “We’re vampires. I have no idea what’s gonna happen, but it will be fun,” Eve said. “That’s as far as I go mentally. Beyond that, I

have no idea where we’re going. ... We never know what’s gonna happen tomorrow.” “We could go on tour for two months, who knows?” Eric agreed. “We always like to keep that door open. That’s how we keep going, stay ahead.” At that moment, Saving Abel guitarist Scott Bartlett comes over to say hello. Soon, he and Gynan are talking about their bands touring together. “I’m gonna try really hard to make this happen,” Bartlett said. “I literally texted my agent — I never text him on the weekend ... ‘I’m interested in an 18-day run, let’s make a T-shirt or something, cross-promotion.’” Until that happens, Leaving Eden has plenty of area gigs ahead, with a two-night stand at Salisbury Beach’s Carousel Lounge beginning May 25. They’re regulars at the

seaside bar, with at least four more dates scheduled there into August. “I like the ocean, being right on the water, and the owner is great,” Eric said, adding the venue welcomes original music. “He lets us do whatever we want.” “They let us bring opening bands,” Eve added. “That’s important, helping each other out as a community. We try to do that for everybody, do out best.” — Michael Witthaus Leaving Eden When: Friday, May 25, and Saturday, May 26, 8 p.m. Where: Carousel Lounge, 27 Ocean Front S., Salisbury, Mass.

The music business can be challenging, but the three members of hard rock band Leaving Eden seem to forget about that the moment they step on stage. It’s all about attitude. Opening for Saving Abel the other night in Manchester, guitarist Eric Gynan’s wireless system went on the fritz, forcing him to plug in for their set. He was was undeterred, despite being nearly hogtied in guitar cord by the end of the opening song. “Maybe I’ll just stand still,” Gynan said as a stagehand untangled him. Lead singer Eve laughed at the idea; instead she returned to whipping up the room. Though it was still daylight outside, she had the crowd imagining midnight. “This is a … rock show, I wanna hear some noise!” she shouted. They responded like they were in an arena, not a gradually filling nightclub. Following her exhortation, the trio (bass tracks are pre-recorded by Gynan) rolled into the radio-ready “Out of the Ashes,” the title track of the band’s latest album. They’ve got a bevy of such songs, served up with a buoying enthusiasm. This can-do outlook allows them to focus on things like having a good record label rather than dwell on pitfalls like the producer that promised European success before disappearing with an album a few years ago (“We never saw a dime,” Gynan said, “and I can’t fly over there to find him.”), or how licensing costs kept a scorching new cover of Thin Lizzy’s “Jailbreak” out of a movie soundtrack. In a couple of days, they’ll drive 600 miles to play a festival and a club date in New Jersey; they can’t wait. “This isn’t for everybody,” drummer Ryan PM said backstage at Jewel Nightclub. “We love it; we want to play live whenever we can.” Gynan and Eve, who’ve performed together for over 15 years and been married

By Holly, The Seacoast Area's Leading Astrologer

• Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you throw caution to the wind and spend money today, you’ll be sorry later when you can’t afford something you really need, like liposuction.

• Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It isn’t likely to be anything you’ve done that makes people so unfriendly. Most likely, it’s your body odor.

S ATHER

• Aries (March 21-April 19): Don’t take bows for something you’ve yet to accomplish, especially given your track record of complete failure.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

The naked truth

Letitia Chai, Cornell University class of 2018, arrived at her “Acting in Public: Performance in Everyday Life” class on May 2 ready to present a trial run of her senior thesis wearing a button-down shirt and cutoff denim shorts. Professor Rebekah Maggor was displeased, however, and asked Chai, “Is that really what you would wear?” She referred specifically to Chai’s “too short” shorts and told Chai that her clothing choices would distract “men’s attention” from the content of her presentation. Chai left the room, but soon returned wearing just her undergarments and delivered the entirety of her presentation. On May 5, she returned to the classroom to officially present her thesis and stripped down again, with more than two dozen others in the room joining her in their underwear. Chai posted on Facebook about the incidents, telling The Cornell Daily Sun she wanted to raise awareness about this “huge societal issue.”

with a suggested 10-minute limit, @Gemini tweeted, “I stayed 11 mins but feel so much better thank you to whoever built this. Can we add a box of tissues please?” Miller filled the closet with stuffed animals and soft materials. “I think everyone just needs a safe space sometimes,” she said, “even if it’s in a very public place.”

Make art great again!

A French museum dedicated to the work of painter Etienne Terrus announced April 27 that more than half of its collection from the 19th-century artist are forgeries. The Terrus museum in Elne, where Terrus was born, gathered a group of experts to inspect the works after a visiting art historian noticed some of the paintings depict buildings that were not constructed until after Terrus’ death. In all, 82 paintings were determined to be fake. BBC News reported that the town’s mayor, Yves Barniol, called the situation “a disaster” and apologized to museum visitors.

In Hudson, Florida, Brandon Donald McCray, 47, came unglued on May 1 after discovering two of his socks missing. When suspicion fell on his roommate, Frank Smith, 53, McCray attacked him with a sword, according to WTVT. The attack continued as McCray also struck and injured two women living at the home. Pasco County Sheriff’s deputies said Smith nearly lost several fingers trying to defend himself. Deputies arrested McCray at a neighbor’s house on charges of attempted homicide and battery.

Armed and clumsy

Dimitri the Husky can thank a Good Samaritan for reporting that someone was abusing a dog in Lantana, Florida, on May 10. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s officers arrived at the apartment home of Patrick Shurod Campbell, 27, where two roommates said Campbell “beat the hell” out of Dimitri, the Palm Beach Post reported. Officers found the 2-year-old dog locked in a dark closet, shaking and submissive, with a bloody ear. Campbell told police he had bitten the dog to “establish dominance.” Campbell was charged with aggravated animal cruelty; Dimitri was turned over to Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control for treatment and re-homing.

It’s good to be a millennial

at a nearby Walmart and asked if he could “have” her granddaughter for $100. He upped the ante at Kroger, offering to purchase her for $200 and commenting on the little girl’s pretty hair. The grandmother confronted Samimi, drawing a large crowd of shoppers who chased him through the store and to his car. Police arrested Samimi at his home on charges of enticing a child and criminal solicitation. • In the Indian village of Upparahal, a mother dying of an unknown condition feared that her husband, whom neighbors say is an alcoholic, would neglect her 13-year-old son and their other children. To ensure there would be an adult woman in the family capable of performing domestic chores, she married the teenager to a 23-year-old woman on April 27. However, according to the local tahsildar, or tax collector, Srinivasa Rao, “The marriage will be canceled as it is not valid as per law.” Metro News reports that both the bride’s and groom’s families have disappeared since the wedding became public.

People with issues

Police in Loerrach, Germany, responded May 14 to complaints about a domestic disturbance after a neighbor reported a loud confrontation that had been going on for some time. But when they arrived, they found a 22-year-old man arguing with his girlfriend’s parrot, according to Metro News. The parrot had been barking like a dog, and the man became annoyed with it. No charges were filed.

Love in the drive-thru

@BurgerKing was looking for love in all the right places on May 9 when workers changed a Boston location’s sign to read: “@Wendys ... Prom?” and posted a picture to Twitter. United Press International reported that it took less than an hour for the red-headed fast-food heartthrob, just a few doors down, to respond: “OK, but don’t get handsy and we have to be home by 10.” In a classic love triangle, @MoonPie expressed his disappointment: “I knew I should’ve asked sooner.” Visit newsoftheweird.com.

On Yaji Mountain in China, hog farmers are experimenting with high-rise hog breeding facilities that house 1,000 head of sows per floor. Xu Jiajing, manager of Guangxi Yangxiang Co. Ltd., told Reuters the “hog hotels” save “energy and resources. The land area is not that much, but you can raise a lot of pigs.” The buildings range from seven floors to 13, with elevators to move people and pigs, and air circulation and waste management systems designed to reduce the risk of spreading disease.

Fort Dodge, Iowa, may not exactly be the Wild West, but tell that to Balew, the pit bull-lab mix belonging to 51-year-old Richard Remme. As Remme and Balew roughhoused at home on May 9, Balew bounded back up onto the couch, where, according to The Messenger, he managed to shoot his owner in the leg. “I carry in a belly band, under my bib overalls,” Remme told the newspaper. “And apparently he bumped the safety one time, and when he bounded back over one of his toes went right down into the trigger guard,” he explained. Remme didn’t realize he’d been shot until his pant leg started to turn purple. Balew, however, “thought he was in trouble for doing something wrong,” Remme said. He “laid down beside me and cried.”

PET OF THE WEEK Apollo is an 8-year-old miniature bull terrier. He’s had a difficult time adjusting to the sudden change in his circumstances. He was wary and grouchy at first. But he figured out the surroundings may be new but the people are nice. With patient and consistent care, Apollo has begun to show us his true nature. Apollo loves to wag his tail. And when he shakes, his entire body goes airborne, legs on one side then the other float as if wings. Apollo is delightful company — in the right hands. He doesn’t get along with other dogs, so has to be the only canine in the household. If there are children in his forever home, they should be older and dog savvy. Apollo is a senior boy and is looking for a home in which he can feel secure and happy for the rest of his life. Like all the animals available for adoption at the New Hampshire SPCA, which is located in Stratham, Apollo is neutered, microchipped, up to date on his shots and comes with three complimentary training sessions with our certified trainers.
