A WORD FROM LARRY

Master McGrath’s

A history lesson It’s been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but Independence Day celebrations go back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Larry Marsolais Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. According to my research, three U.S. presidents actually died on July 4: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4,1826, four hours apart, and James Monroe died July 4, 1831. Fascinating. From 1776 to the present day, July 4

Sea Shell shows Carriagetown Car Show

During the early 1900s, Amesbury, Mass., carriage makers began to build bodies for cars made by Stanley, Cadillac, Hudson and others. From about 1900 to 1930, Amesbury was known as “the Detroit of the East.” As part of Amesbury’s 350th Anniversary Celebration, the Amesbury Carriage Museum has recruited a collection of “Amesburybodied” cars that will be on view during the Sunday, July 1, Carriagetown Car Show. The free show begins at 9 a.m. and will run until 2 p.m. In case of bad weather, the show will be rescheduled to July 8. In addition to this collection of historic cars, the streets of downtown Amesbury will be lined with more than 200 restored automobiles from the 1980s and much earlier. This has become a very popular event with car enthusiasts and the general public. Market Square, Friend Street, Main Street and more will be filled with cars. For more information visit sites.google.com/view/carriagetowncarshow.

Head to the Sea Shell Stage on Ocean Boulevard in Hampton any night this summer to see a show for all ages. The first show is from 7 to 8 p.m., and the second is from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Here’s who’s playing this week: Thursday, June 28: Houston Bernard – Country Friday, June 29: The Old Bastards – Classic Rock Saturday, June 30: Living on a Bad Name – Bon Jovi Tribute Sunday, July 1: Overdrive – Rock Monday, July 2: The Reminisants – Oldies Tuesday, July 3: HELP – Beatles Tribute Band Wednesday, July 4: The Continentals

By Andrew Clay There’s really no wrong way to celebrate the nation’s birthday, but in case you’re looking for some ideas, we’ve got a few.

Fireworks

No Fourth of July is complete without the “bombs bursting in air” salute of fireworks.

Get started early in Portsmouth or Rochester The city of Portsmouth will be holding its annual Independence Day fireworks display on Tuesday, July 3, beginning at 9:15 p.m. The shoot will take place on South Mill Pond across from Portsmouth City Hall. This year’s celebration will include a longer fireworks show, as well as musical entertainment, children’s activities, historical reenactments and vendors. The fireworks will be syn-

Rochester’s The Night Before the 4th festival and firework show will be held at the Rochester Community Center on Main Street on Tuesday, July 3, at 5 p.m. The event will feature face painting, Wildlife Encounters and other family-friendly activities, with live music from Brian Minger, Gabby Martin, Northriver Trio and

Maddie Ryan. A variety of food will be available from restaurants including Happy Pappy’s, Two Wrongs Make a Right Bakery, Wow Factor, Sharky’s Grill and more.

7 day. Starting July 9, free movie nights will return as well. “The nice thing about Hampton Beach is that we offer all of these different events at no charge so it’s been the tradition every year and people look forward to it every year,” Rage said.

Salisbury Beach Five miles south, Joppa Flatts, one of the North Shore’s most popular live bands, will help to welcome in the Fourth of July at Salisbury Beach for the second year in a row. This band that plays classic rock, motown, blues, ’80s and more will be rocking the Salisbury Beach Stage at 4 p.m. Wednesday, July 4. Their show will be followed by a fireworks display over the ocean beginning at sunset. “We were asked to perform last year and it was a pretty amazing success,” Chris Santarelli, Joppa Flatts manager and founder, said. “There were thousands of people there. The music that we play is very popular — ‘It’s all the songs that people know and love’ is kind of one of our catch phrases. We play the songs that provoke and create memories, the iconic songs that people have been listening to, the songs that are timeless.” Originally formed in Rowley, Mass., in 2002, Joppa Flatts plays diverse and dynamic covers of some of the greatest bands throughout history including AC/ DC, Tom Petty, Bon Jovi, Lynyrd Sky-

nyrd, Guns n’ Roses and many more. “This is our home town. I grew up in Newburyport — the theme of the band is ‘rocking the Seacoast’ so it fits right in line with that and what we’re looking most forward to is playing good music and having a good time with everybody,” Santarelli said. “The band has a lot of fun on stage and it helps to translate the energy into the crowd. We try to bring this sort of infectious fun into the crowd.” Santarelli said playing on the Fourth of July isn’t just another show for them. “There are a lot of people ... that have served in different military branches and have really deep feelings for what the Fourth of July means,” he said. “We like to create amazing memories, and music is a very therapeutic entity and it affects everybody in a different way, so playing on this particular day with the fireworks, it obviously is a great honor.” The Joppa Flatts Fourth of July Celebration is a special part of the Bands on the Beach series, which Salisbury Beach will again host every Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. through Sept. 1. Each show is free of admission and will be followed by a fireworks display on the beach. DIY fireworks If you’d rather set off your own fireworks than go see a local display, there are some rules and regulations you need to follow. According to mass.gov, the 10

8 usage, possession, transportation, selling or purchasing of fireworks is against state laws in Massachusetts. It is legal, however, to host your own firework display in New Hampshire but under a strict set of rules and regulations put in place to help keep everyone safe. Nh.gov firework law requirements states “1) Anyone interested in purchasing, possessing or using Permissible Fireworks must be at least 21 years of age. 2) Shall only be used on private property which you own, or have written permission from the land owner, or be in the owner’s presence. 3) Must follow ALL locally adopted local ordinances. For a list of community restrictions please visit the nh.gov website. 4) You can be held liable in any civil action for damages to another’s property.” As stated in the requirements, local firework laws vary from town to town. In Rye, for example, a permit must be acquired before lighting any fireworks. “Most fireworks that you could buy in a fireworks store you can not use in Rye,” Rye Fire Chief Mark Cotreau said. The town of Seabrook requires a firework permit and states that fireworks are “prohibited from Beach Village District at any time and after 11 p.m. all other areas.” The town of Hampton prohibits the use of fireworks. For more information on local laws and restrictions in your area, visit nh.gov. Coutreau urges caution to anyone using personal fireworks. “If you look at the national statistics for firework injuries, there are many, many injuries every year and anybody that wants to put on a personal display really needs to know what they’re

doing and be very, very careful doing it because you can make some life-changing injuries, and they happen every year,” Cotreau said.

Eat up

A walk along the boardwalk will yield all kinds of treats, from seafood to fried dough. “My family and I have been coming to Hampton Beach every Fourth of July for the last few years — we love the music and fireworks — and one thing we always look forward to is the food,” said Matt McIntosh, a local employee and beachgoer in the Hampton area. ““Hampton has a ton of options, especially when it comes to seafood, and when you’re at Hampton Beach on the Seacoast 12

10 for the Fourth of July, you have to enjoy the food. You’re at the beach! That means lobster, fried dough, ice cream.” McIntosh said his favorite thing to get is the fisherman’s platter. “It’s absolutely incredible,” he said. “When you’re at the beach for the Fourth of July, it just doesn’t seem right not to have some sort of seafood.” Nothing says America quite like a picnic on the beach, but with laws prohibiting grills and open fires, that means easily portable foods stowed away in your cooler. To give your picnic some holiday flare, try bringing an extra special dessert instead of your usual Oreos. Penelope Brewster of Ceres Bakery in Portsmouth recommends homemade chocolate brownies with fresh fruit — or cookies from her bakery. “We do a chocolate chip cookie but we also do a snitz cookie which has orange peel, pecans, chocolate and all sorts of goodies in it that is enormously popular,” she said. “Any kind of cookies or brownies is the best because chocolate and fresh berries you can’t go wrong with.” If you really want to go all out with your dessert, Brewster says blueberry pie is perfect for the Fourth. “Blueberry pie all the way,” she said. “It can be served with ice cream, all by itself [or] with a slice of cheddar cheese if you’re a wicked New Englander.” “It’s such a traditional kind of holiday that things like pies and brownies with ice cream and things like that are probably what I would consider to be the way to go,” she said. S’mores made in your backyard are a good option too, but if you’re at the beach

and can’t have a fire, there is a quick and simple fix. Just take two graham crackers and, instead of putting toasted marshmallows and a chocolate bar between them, use Fluff and chocolate syrup.

All-American brews

Nothing says America and the Fourth of July quite like an ice cold beer, and the Seacoast is home to quite a few breweries. For a special activity on the Fourth, you can take a tour of some of those breweries. Granite State Growler Tours, located in North Hampton, is the only craft brewery tour bus in New Hampshire; it’s mission is to “take you to the best beer and spirits we can find, and to support local businesses by sharing them with our guests.” “The Seacoast is a good place to stop on your travels to get some beer,” Granite State Growler Tours owner and tour bus driver David Adams said. “If you’re looking for food then you can check out Throwback or Smuttynose Brewery that have full restaurants, you have some breweries that grow their own produce and have their own farm-to-table food and beer so that’s something that is unique and that you can’t find in a lot of other places. There’s so much good stuff going on. I think checking out a local brewery would be a great way to spend the holiday.” Granite State Growler Tours combines history with beer tasting and beer education en route to seeking out the best distilleries that New Hampshire and the Seacoast have to offer. On top of group tours, the entertaining and knowledgeable guides also provide exclusive 14

Hampton’s Smuttynose Brewery will be open from noon to 6 p.m. providing free tours. Also available at Smuttynose is a retail store and the Hayseed Restaurant directly attached to the brewery itself which will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and spend $4 to sample four of their plentiful varieties of beer from their Rhye IPA to the Baltic Porter. Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth offers tours every hour, on the hour on Mondays through Wednesdays between 1 and 3 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays at 1 p.m. and from 4 to 5 p.m. and weekends from noon to 5 p.m. You can also get a meal to accompany your Redhook beer at Portsmouth Pub, Redhook’s restaurant. Other breweries in the Seacoast area include Loaded Question Brewing Co., open Thursdays through Sunday, Liars Bench Beer Co., open every day but Monday, and Earth Eagle Brewings, which is generally open every day of the week but Monday. Call ahead or look online for holiday hours. “There are so many breweries in this area and they’re all doing their own, unique things so it depends on what you’re looking for ... but really there’s something for everyone here on the Seacoast,” Adams said. “Every brewery kind of has their own mix and styles of beers that they make. Each brewery has its own unique atmosphere so if you’ve got pets or kids or whatever your situation is there’s going to be a brewery out there

that’s going to be perfect for you to hang out at. There are so many breweries that if I had to pick one or two I would be hard-pressed to do so.”

An American Celebration

Step back in time at the historical Strawbery Banke Museum for the 16th Annual American Celebration. On Sunday, July 1, there will be a daylong historical run down straight from the mouth of professional reenactors that span as far back as the 1600s and cover events such what life was like as early North American settlers, as French and Indian soldiers in 1754, soldiers during the Civil War, the fight for women’s suffrage, and much more. “Here at Strawbery Banke we focus on the people’s lives who have lived here, where the museum now resides, but on Sunday we get to branch out and talk about the Civil War, women’s suffrage, there are some cool antique cars that are coming … we have about 26 different groups coming out,” said Alena Shellenbean, manager of special events and volunteers at Strawbery Banke. Dance along to the swing style music of the 1940s on Tuesday, July 3, from 6 to 9 p.m. Live music will be performed by the Beantown Swing Orchestra as they demonstrate period-music accompanied by free dance lessons. Rest under the Portsmouth firework display, clearly visible from within the walls of the historic town. Tickets are $20 for this 16

The highlight of this week-long Independence Day celebration takes place Wednesday, July 4, where admission is free and a special Naturalization Ceremony begins at 11 a.m. to begin the day. “The folks being naturalized here have all been working incredibly hard to become citizens and are choosing to join all of us. For them, being an American is an incredibly positive, joyful thing and it’s a really good chance for all of us to be positive and joyful about the United States and about the opportunities that these new citizens are getting because they are here,” said Shellenbean. From 10 a.m. on, join reenactors in their “old-fashioned field day” through enjoying classic games played throughout the history of the country including croquet, marbles, hula hoops and more before stopping to enjoy a parade beginning at 2 p.m. where children are invited to decorate wagons, bikes and hats to walk the historic grounds along with reenactors. Discover what life truly was like in 1940s America, and celebrate the country’s birthday surrounded by what helped create this nation and make it what it truly is today.

“The Fourth of July was a big day in the lives of all the folks who lived in the neighborhood in 1776 and continued to be important throughout the history of when people lived here until the 1950s,” Shellenbean said. “This country was so important for all the people who were immigrating to this country and we have the homes and stories of many immigrants as well as the folks who lived in Portsmouth all their lives and their parent’s lives and it is important for us and them to recognize the great country that we live in and this is an opportunity to celebrate the summer and celebrate history, so as a history museum we love to get involved in that.” Strawbery Banke is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. where families can enjoy highly educated role-play actors from throughout New England history, authentic Victorian and era-finished houses, guided tours and demonstrations. Strawbery Banke truly is like stepping back in time and wandering the streets and houses of a 1940s New England town. General admission costs are $19.50 for adults, $9 for children between the ages of 5 and 17, and a family pass good for up to two children and two adults for $48.

KRISTIAN THEODORE CO-OWNER OF FORWARD MERCH

Kristian Theodore is the co-owner of Forward Merch, an entertainment merchandising company in Dover. The company works with everyone from local artists to high-profile entertainment entities to design shirts and other branding.

Did you start in a garage? We started in 1996 in Waltham, Mass., and then the company moved up to Dover right in the early 2000s. We recently moved to the mill building in downtown Dover. We have a 45,000-square-foot facility on Venture Drive. ... Wes Bockley, he founded the company in his garage for his love of music and his passion. It was English music at the time like Oasis, Blur so he started the company and right after that along came the Dropkick Murphys. We shared an office with the manager for the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and the Murphys at the time so it all kind of came together and grew

from there. The company outgrew the garage so then we moved up here to a mill building. What’s the highest-profile brand you’ve worked with and what was it like to land that? Hamilton and [Andrea] Bocelli are two that come to mind real quick. Both of those are very high-profile acts within their genre. Getting the opportunity is certainly an exciting challenge. They are both different but the same. They both demand high product and quick turnaround and that’s something that we can provide. One we met through a partner in England and they brought Bocelli. We do all the touring for that here in the

States. So any of the arenas he plays here in the States, we do all the fulfilment for that. Hamilton is with our partners from Creative Goods. They do a large majority of all the musicals on Broadway and in return we do all of the fulfillment for them. What’s your collaborative process like when working with a brand? We produce everything here in Dover. Everything from T-shirts, hoodies, ladies’ Ts, any sort of cloth product that gets screen-printed on. We also manufacture all of the embroidery. Then we do outsourcing, we do all the trinket items, button, pins, flags. If you name it, essentially, we can get it. We work very closely with the artist to estab-

What can your team bring to a product’s design? We can do anything from concepts to completion. If they have an idea like, “Hey we want this koi fish but we want it doing something crazy,” our artists are very talented and they can take it from concept to finished product. Our artists have been in the industry for over 20 years doing concept to separation to approval. They’ve worked with Guns N’ Roses, the Misfits. They come from a very rock ’n’ roll side but they adapt quickly to whatever the product is. How often do you find yourself competing with outsourcing overseas? We don’t see that that much but what we are seeing more of is bootlegs coming out of China or overseas, which hurts the brand for many reasons. If you’re not buying direct from the band or the brand, they don’t see any of that money. And most of the time the product is inferior to the official goods. It really hurts the end game. 20

What’s more exciting for you, working with high-profile brands or independent artists? We first made our mark in the industry working with independent artists. Back in the late ’90s we were working with bands like the Dropkick Murphys and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones when they were reaching and growing into their success. So it was very exciting to see them grow and our company to grow along with them. I think it’s exciting working with established brands and bands because they are high-profile. It’s very easy because they have the following, they have the customers.

lish the brand from concept to finished product so that we’re both happy. Most brands have a pretty good idea of what they’re looking for when they bring it to us. We have about 20 years of experience developing product lines so if they struggle with anything, chances are we’ve done it before and we can put the finishing touches on the concept or idea. On the entertainment side, we’ve worked with Dog the Bounty Hunter, the Cartoon Network. But what happens is those brands already kind of have their imagery all ready.

Peace, Love, & Shopping!

What sets you apart from the average custom online T-shirt sites? No. 1 is our people. We have some of the most dedicated hardworking people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Our artists. Another aspect is that we own our own printing facility. Most of our competitors outsource their printing and in return it’s hard for them to control their quality. We don’t have that problem since everything we do is printed right here in Dover. We can really put our hands on it and take a look at the final product before our clients see it, which is a huge advantage for us.

Fair Trade & US Made Items Clothing • Tapestries • Jewelry • Bags Body Care • Essential Oils • Gemstones Smoking Accessories • & Other Cool Stuff

Do people underestimate you because of your location in Dover, New Hampshire? I don’t think so. I think in this industry we are pretty much a global identity at this point with our partners and clients from around the world. Our quality sets us apart. It could come from Dover, New Hampshire, it could come from Delaware, it really doesn’t matter to our clients. We have a lot of global partners. Our heavy metal stuff is overseas acts from Europe. They don’t even know where Dover, New Hampshire, is so it’s kind of a non-issue. For our partners here in the States, one of our biggest partners is Creative Goods and they’re from New York. So being on the East Coast is certainly an advantage to them because with us doing all of the fulfilment for Broadway, we’re a one-day ship.

What was it like working with Hamilton? What did you make for them? Working with Hamilton is amazing. We’ve continued to drive and develop that brand today and it shows no signs of slowing down. We produce all their printed merchandise and we fulfill for the theaters as well as the web stores. Do you still work with local artists? We work with them all the time. We’ve made our niche. Before we started working with Hamilton and the Broadway stuff, we made our niche working with the metal community. Forward Merch made its niche working with these metal bands and smaller independent artists and we continue to do so. Our client list is about 200 artists strong. What do you think is the future of entertainment merchandising? I think the future is branding and creating an image that has staying power. You look at somebody like the Misfits or Motorhead, the imagery in that brand long outlasts the longevity of the band. The same thing with Hamilton. That star with Hamilton pointing up is slowly becoming a highly recognized brand without even the Hamilton name under it. We’ve developed a tremendous Direct to Garment program which we run some of our web stores on. It keeps your inventory low but you’re able to fulfill the orders right way. Essentially, if you have a web store set up and somebody orders one shirt, that shirt is printed at that time that someone orders it. Then it’s put in and shipped out. — Ethan Hogan

PEOPLE AND PLACES

By Ethan Hogan Where I went: A Spanish-speaking meetup that meets every Tuesday. We met at Popovers in Portsmouth but they meet at different locations weekly. I found the group at meetup.com/ spanish-641/events. What it is: The group speaks Spanish for the entire social hour and one of the participants brings a dictionary. The group is open to all speaking levels, which was comforting to me. My experience: There was no agenda for the meet-up but what ended up happening, naturally I think, is that we talked about how we all started speaking Spanish. I tried my best with, “Estudio espanol en colegio y universidad.” It’s true, I actually started learning Spanish in eighth grade and had to take it all through high school. Then in college, to my dismay, I had to take two more semesters of the language for my degree. While learning in school, I could practically feel my brain not retaining the information. But I always wished I could learn it. I had nothing against the

language and I think that deep down I knew that learning in a classroom setting would never really work for me. As more members joined the group and began to talk, the table filled with Spanish conversations. And to my surprise I found myself part of some of them. All those years in the classroom had given me the limited vocabulary to be able to pick up on maybe one out of four words. But as I nodded and responded semiaccordingly I realized a fourth of the conversation was all I needed to get the gist. Next to me was George, who had taught Spanish for several years to lower-level speakers. He helped me with some of the words I didn’t know as I told him where I was from and why I was in Portsmouth, “visio un amigo para el fin de semana” (I’m visiting my friend for the weekend). For the most part he let my incorrect verb conjugations slide unless the meaning would have been totally lost. I found myself leaning in and trying to engage with the conversations more than I would during a conversation in English. I was more engaged because, in Spanish, I had to focus more to pick up the words. The world outside the table seemed far away as I focused on the foreign tongue. “¿Qué haces para vivir?” Mary, who sat next to me, asked. I got up from the table and grabbed a copy of the Seacoast Scene and found my name and pointed at it, “Vivo para un periodico.” I pointed at a recent interview I had done with a local Portsmouth musician. Mary said, “Es bueno que juegues música.” I frowned, not understand- 22

PEOPLE AND PLACES 21 ing, and George interrupted that I wasn’t a musician but that I wrote the article. Which started a conversation about the universality of music. Mary said that during her travels all around Central and South America, she’d had to learn Spanish. From what I could make out during our conversation in Spanish, she had volunteered to teach English while doing humanitarian efforts. I told her I was planning to travel soon and she expressed again the importance of a common tongue in music. A younger man named Sabino arrived late and explained why. His Spanish was far too fast for me but after a long story everyone laughed. George leaned to me and said, “He can’t stay long because he hurt his butt and can’t sit.” The night before my last Spanish final in college, I was tossing and turning in bed. I looked at so many flash cards and re-read so many chapters that I was thinking in Spanish. My mind was racing but the language was not my native one. I can’t say I was thinking in Spanish during the group meeting because it felt to me like I was just thinking. I knew the meanings of the words and just sort of visualized what was being said. Before leaving, everyone slowly

switched to speaking English so that our goodbys had no chance of being lost in translation. Then I started to think about why we’d been speaking Spanish in the first place. There was no grade, no test, and as I mentioned, no agenda. Going out of your way to speak another language gives socializing an added excitement and purpose. You can look into someone’s eyes and know you are both trying to connect, but struggling through a foreign tongue can be so much more stimulating. Your brain starts to light up in a way it normally wouldn’t because language isn’t typically a challenge. Sometimes the message and the package it comes in aren’t what’s important. What’s important is the people you are with and the times you share. Those times will become stories you can try to tell in whatever language you happen to be speaking. Who should try this: If you have only taken a little bit of Spanish in school and want to revisit it with a group of positive and helpful Spanish speakers I recommend you try this group. And if you are fluent or it’s even your native language but you haven’t spoken in a while, the group is a pleasant refresher.

CAR TALK

When is it time to take a car to the dealer for a problem? Dear Car Talk: I have a 2003 Lexus ES300. The check engine light came on, so I took it to my mechanic. He scanned it, and the code said it was the By Ray Magliozzi evaporative emissions system. He then did a “smoke test” and saw smoke leaking out of pinholes in the fuel filler neck — which he then replaced. I drove it for about 200 miles and the light came on again. Same code. This time they replaced the evaporative canister. I drove for about another 200 miles, and again the light came on with the same code. This time they replaced the vent control solenoid. Again, I drove for about 200 miles and the light came on. They explained that there are many parts in the evaporative emissions system. Should I go to the dealer? Will they be able to diagnose it more accurately? What’s left to replace? — Fil Well, clearly the problem is that you’re driving too far, Fil. You need a new lifestyle where you never drive more than 199 miles. These guys are guessing now, unfortu-

nately. Doing the smoke test was the right place to start, and if the filler neck was perforated, it made perfect sense to replace it. But maybe that wasn’t the only leak? Maybe that was just the biggest leak. The question is, How are they approaching the problem now? If they have good diagnostic software, it should be suggesting next steps for them in terms of what to test. But if they’re just guessing, that could go on until the next season of “Game of Thrones” is released — there are a lot of individual parts in the evaporative emissions system. It could be a bad hose that’s running from the evaporative canister to the fuel tank. It even could be something as simple as a bad gas cap (let’s hope they tried that already). Or it could be a bad computer. If you like these guys, you can say, “Hey, fellas, I think you owe me some free diagnostic work here, considering I already helped you make about two months’ worth of boat payments.” And if they’re willing to keep trying stuff for free until they nail it, then you can give them some more time. I’d suggest they start by doing another smoke test. If they still can’t figure it out, and

they’re really good guys, they’ll take it to the dealer for you and get it diagnosed, and then fix it. But if they’re unwilling or unable to continue, then I would take it to the dealer. They’ve worked on many more ES300s than your local mechanic has, and they may know what oddball problem tends to set off a check engine light in cases like these. Good luck, Fil. Dear Car Talk: I’m a lifetime fan of Car Talk. So, I’m LAZY! SO lazy that I live where all the roads are flat in Miami so I don’t have to deal with inclines. I’m also so lazy that when I’m stopped at a light or stuck in traffic, I put the car in neutral so I don’t need to keep my foot on the brake. I drive an automatic 2001 Mazda 626. Am I causing any damage to the transmission by doing this? — Sean I don’t think you can hold a lazy candle to my late brother, Sean. He often was too lazy to put up the top on his ’74 Chevy convertible. So what, you say? Well, when a garden eventually sprouted up in the back seat of his car, he was also too lazy to weed it.

Otherwise, he could have at least had some fresh tomatoes. I don’t think you’re harming the transmission, Sean. I’m basing that in part on the fact that your transmission has already lasted 17 years, despite your sloth. We used to recommend against this practice. But that was when cars routinely idled at 1,000 rpm or more. At that engine speed, the various components of the drivetrain (the gears, the transmission, the CV joints) would kind of “slam” into each other every time you put the car into drive. You may remember feeling that “thunk” in the old days. But now, with computer-controlled engine management and fuel injection, most cars idle at about half that speed. So, once the car warms up (after a minute or so) and it’s idling at 600 rpm, when you shift from neutral into drive, you hardly even notice it. And neither does your car. The only downside is the embarrassment you feel when the light changes, and you push the pedal three-quarters of the way to the floor before you realize you’re still in neutral. But you seem like the type of guy who can take that kind of heat, Sean. Visit Cartalk.com.

AT LINDA’S BREAKFAST PLACE Linda’s Breakfast Place (920 Lafayette Road, Seabrook, 474-2200) has been serving up classic breakfast fare for over 27 years. A new owner brought about a recent facelift and a slightly updated menu, but all the old favorites that customers have come to know and love are still there, too. New owner and manager Florian (who declined to give his last name) has been involved in the restaurant business since he was 12 years old. He talked to the Scene about some of his favorite dishes, lessons he has learned during his time in the kitchen, and what makes Linda’s Breakfast Place unique. How long has Linda’s Breakfast Place been around? It’s been around for over 27 years. We recently bought the business, last July; Linda herself wanted to sell. We revamped the whole place — everything is brand new, from the floor, walls, paint, kitchen, all the hardware is brand new. As far as construction, from plumbing to air conditioning to heat, bringing gas in the place, propane. We’ve kept the same specials Linda had [and] we’ve only added to the menu, so that [the customers] would have an easy transition, going from Linda being there 27 years, to us. What makes Linda’s unique? We do our own shopping so that everything can be fresh and we see [everything] ourselves when we buy it. We’re very hands-on with everything; every single thing goes through me before we put it on the line. [Also] our homestyle cooking, people come in and enjoy a home-cooked meal:

fried eggs, bacon, good coffee, orange juice. We’re using the grill, pans, butter, just like you would do at home. Nothing is premade. Our customer service [also makes us unique], our girls are the face of Linda’s now, and they provide very good customer service. And our staff in the back, from the dishwasher to the cooks to the prep. We’re all family in there. We’re like a chain — if one link is missing, everything just collapses. What is your personal favorite dish? I have a few. The Hungry Man [Special] is a big dish, and when I’m hungry that’s what I get: three eggs, a side of home fries, baked beans or hash browns — my favorite — and toast and three pancakes. That’s a big seller; people love it. My personal favorite would have to be the Steak and Cheese Omelette or the Crab Cake Benedict. We also have the Surf and Turf — which is tenderloin steak and lobster — Benedict, as well.

SEACOAST SCENE | JUNE 28 - JULY 4, 2018 | PAGE 28

What is a dish everyone should try? I would say our Southern Special, grilled biscuits with country gravy, a couple eggs, and a meat like sausage or bacon. You have to try that, it’s a big seller, people do crave it. Our Benedicts, also, are really popular — we’ve been selling more Benedicts than ever. Even our classic Benny with Canadian bacon is a big seller. I would definitely tell [everyone] to try our Surf and Turf. Also, we sell a lot of omelettes — they vary, all different … the Steak Tip Bomb Omelette is one of my favorites. It has marinated steak tips, peppers, mushrooms, onions, and cheese. It’s to die for! What is an essential skill to running a restaurant? You have to be up for a challenge. You’re dealing with people, you’re dealing with workers, you’re dealing with vendors, you have to [be] high-energy, you have to be a people person. When there are problems, you have to be a quick thinker, you have

to find solutions. Every day there’s always something, good or bad, that goes on with the business. It’s a fast-paced life, but also it’s rewarding. At the end of the day, you’re working for yourself, and when you see people enjoy their meal it makes you forget about [everything else]. When I see the business is booming, people are loving the food, they are satisfied with the customer service — to me, that’s priceless.

What is your favorite part of being on the Seacoast? I really like to say a lot about our regulars, the people who live in Seabrook. We do get a lot of tourism in the summertime, which we like a lot because it generates business. We do care a lot about our regulars who are there the whole year, not just the summertime tourism but the actual customers who come in every single season — winter, summer, fall, spring. I’m thankful and appreciate every customer that comes in. — Alison Downs

Historically, I’ve let my husband handle the cooking of all veggies I consider stir-fry veggies. Bok choy falls staunchly in that category. However, as I was going through my refrigerator and pantry looking for something to toss together for dinner, I found bok choy that we had purchased earlier in the week at the grocery store, and I knew I had to use it before it was on the verge of spoiling. I first thought to mix the bok choy in with the chicken I already had on the stove, but decided I wanted a slightly different flavor than the sweeter stir fry that was coming together. Bok choy is a more bitter green, and I went searching for a recipe that would use ingredients I had on hand but also complement the natural flavors of the bok choy rather than mask them. I found this recipe on Inspired Taste, and the finished product was pretty darn inspiring for a weeknight dinner that was tossed together in around 10 minutes. With olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes,

salt and lemon, this recipe for bok choy was simple and delicious. Plus, it enabled the bok choy to retain a lot of its natural flavor while introducing subtle hints of spice and a pinch of acid from the lemon, which did break up the sweetness of my chicken that was coated in oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar. The recipe called for the bok choy to be cut in half lengthwise, but I opted to cut mine into quarters as they were a bit on the large side. I think I also didn’t let the bok choy cook on the first side long enough, but my pans are old and something started to smell like it was burning. But, rest assured the finished product was still delectable, even if a little undercooked. There really isn’t anything I’d change about this recipe, except making more the next time I cook it. My husband thought it was great, and one of my kids went back for seconds (although the pickier of the two eaters scraped her portion onto her brother’s plate). Regardless of their

responses, I thought this dish was a fantastic and simple addition to a weeknight meal of chicken and rice. When tossed together with the sweeter chicken and starchy rise, this bok choy upped the flavor profile of the entire meal. — Lauren Mifsud

After washing a patting dry the bok choy, cut in half lengthwise (or in quarters, depending on the size). In a large frying pan, add the oil, garlic and red pepper flakes. Place over medium heat and let the garlic cook until fragrant, but not brown. Toss in the bok choy and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt to taste and then cook, without stirring, for about 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are starting to turn brown. Flip, and then cook an additional 2 minutes or until the leaves have wilted and the bottoms are turning soft. Transfer to a plate before squeezing lemon on top, and sprinkle with additional olive oil, if desired, before serving.

DRINK

It’s hot. Let’s drink beer It’s really summer now; drink accordingly After a long winter that sucked up most of spring, we’re all excited about the onset of summer, but we’re all hot now — and thirsty. It’s officially time to shift any porters and stouts and other heavy brews to the back of your fridge as you won’t be needing their rich, malty flavors for at least a few months. On a hot summer day, your taste buds are calling for other offerings. Think bright and crisp with a hint of sweetness. You want some hoppy bitterness, but not too much. You want a lighter beer, but not too light. Malts are obviously taking a back seat at this time of year, but you don’t want to skimp on flavor. You want some sweetness but you don’t want syrup. It’s a delicate balance — quench your thirst while pleasing your taste buds. I’m stressed right now just thinking about it. The good news is that brewers across New Hampshire have found the balance. Now you just need to grab a pint and relax. Here are some wonderful summer beers available now in breweries located across New Hampshire: Berliner Weisse with Raspberry or the Berliner Weisse with Cherry and Lime by Stoneface Brewing Co.(Newington) - For me, this is the time of year when the tartness and brightness of raspberries, cherries and limes can really shine in beer. These beers are technically sours but are just slightly sour. These are perfect choices for a hot summer day when you want some flavor but you want to keep things light. At 3.7-percent ABV, you can enjoy a couple. Perpetual Gruven by Great Rhythm Brewing (Hampton) - This Kolsch-style ale is perfect for summer. In fact, it screams summer. Great Rhythm is really known for its citrusy selection of IPAs and this seems like the perfect change of pace — light and crisp.

Gooseberry Wit by Flying Goose Brew Pub & Grill (New London) - This summer ale is “quaffable,” according to Flying Goose. Enough said. It’s fermented with Belgian wit yeast and boasts nice tartness from the gooseberry puree. That tartness gives it a nice flavor kick. Soul Hop American Pale Ale by Kettlehead Brewing Co. (Tilton) - I’ve never had this, but man, I’m intrigued. This is the first of the brewery’s “hop series” session ales. The brewers use “only Medusa

hops which gives the beer notes of lime, mint and tea leaves.” That says summer pale ale to me.

Sister Summer IPA by Cold Harbor Brewing (Westborough, Mass.) - This is the perfect summer IPA — hazy and juicy but not too big and bold. You’ll want to have several. The brewery also brews an “Indian Summer” IPA that is similar, but different. This is worth driving for.

Fire & Beer Did you know Smuttynose Brewing Co. (smuttynose.com) and Hayseed Restaurant in Hampton host “Firepit Friday” where you can sit by the fire, drink beer and listen to music — all summer long? It runs from 7 to 9 p.m. right through September at Smuttynose, 105 Towle Farm Road, Hampton. This sounds so perfect, it almost doesn’t seem real to me. Barks for Brews Henniker Brewing Co. (hennikerbrewing.com) is hosting a special “Barks for Brews” event on Saturday, June 30, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the brewery, 129 Centervale Road in Henniker, to raise awareness for pet adoption. So, you’re mixing beer with dogs, which is a perfect combination. The event, which supports the Pope Memorial SPCA of Concord-Merrimack County, features live music, brewery tours and beer flights. And you can adopt dogs. You might consider deciding on whether or not you’re planning to adopt before you start drinking.

The Seacoast Repertory Theatre will be kicking it back to the late 1960s from Friday, June 29, through Sunday, July 29, with The Who’s Tommy. “It truly is some of the best music of all time and some of the most iconic European music and we’re very excited to be able to bring it to the Seacoast,” Co-Director Ben Hart said. “It really is a two-hour-long music video that doesn’t stop — it’s like a sensory overload. It’s awesome. It is just an awesome piece.” The five-time Tony Award winning musical, first brought to the stage by Des McAnuff, is being presented at the Rep by The Mad Men of Oopsie Daisy Inc. The acclaimed cast, design team and seven-piece rock band will perform every Thursday night at 7:30 p.m., Friday at 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday at 2 and 8 p.m., from June 29 to July 29. “It’s an awesome rock album juxtaposed with class theater art storytelling so there really is something for everyone. The dancing is incredible, there are physical feats and it feels like a big party from start to finish like a big music video art installation. There is something for everyone in this,” Co-Director Brandon James said. The rock musical, starring Jason Faria as the title character, was first a concept album for The Who and takes the likes of a psychedelic 1960s comic book and brings it to the stage. Tommy is the story of a boy who in his adolescent years discovers his unusual talent for pinball despite his troubled upbringing and his being deaf and blind, which eventually leads him to achieve international superstardom. Previously, as a result of the trauma inflicted by witnessing the accidental murder of his mother’s lover, Tommy slips into a catatonic state and is left under the care of abusive family members and caretakers. The only thing that is able to bring about a response from our title character, despite his disabilities, is the game of pinball, of which he soon becomes the local champion. Through this journey, Tommy experiences the highs and lows of superstardom, fame and glory and he learns the importance of family, a sense of humanity and perseverance. “The arc and the trajectory of the story vaguely matches the rise and fall from stardom that The Who experienced themselves told through the lens of this pinball wizard. We make you feel like you are inside of a comic book pinball machine,”

James said. “We built the set to feel like an immersive pinball machine so there are life-sized buzzers and bouncers and bells and flippers that the cast are bumping off of in their choreography. You feel like you are watching a living comic book. Hundreds of man-hours have gone into painting costumes and props and clothes to make it feel like you are really watching a comic book come to life.” James said that he and Hart don’t often work in traditional musical theater styles. “So for us, it is still one of the best and

most iconic rock albums in human history as far as either of us are concerned,” James said. “To put musical theater storytelling with such incredible rock music is super titillating for us and is right up our alley as far as storytelling and the art that we want to be making and the storytelling that we want to be making. Tommy is sort of right with that stuff — spiritual awakenings, basic human truths — and it leaves you with this feeling of hope and forgiveness and purity.” Ticket prices range from $16 to $38 and tickets may be purchased online at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre website or through their box office at 603-4334472 Tuesdays through Sundays from noon to 6 p.m. “It is ripe with delicious storytelling and then leaves you with hope when you leave. Also amazing rock, dancing, and technical spectacles left and right. People are in for quite a treat when they come to see it,” James said. “With the exception being young children, this production is really accessible to everyone,” Hart added. — Andrew Clay Know about something fun going on?

The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian (Doubleday, 354 pages) Chris Bohjalian has a weird superpower. He is able to get into the heads of his female characters and portray them so accurately in his books that people often assume, as I did after reading the Oprah Book Club pick Midwives, that the author is a woman. Nope. Chris is a guy, who’s just crazy good at getting into the heads of his female characters. He doesn’t disappoint in his latest book, The Flight Attendant. The story begins with a young 30ish (old enough to know better) flight attendant, Cassie Bowden, who is clearly a broken person. She is an alcoholic who drinks to the point of frequent blackouts and who sleeps with just about anyone who will offer a bed. She meets a man on an international flight and goes to his hotel room in Dubai. The next morning, she awakens next to him and discovers that his throat had been slashed while she was passed out. Naturally she is terrified. She can’t remember anything and doesn’t know if she killed him or not, but she does know that she is in trouble and so she flees, returning to the United States, which starts a global search for the truth. “Cassie knew that newspapers put stories online well before the actual paper went to print, so she guessed she shouldn’t have been surprised when she saw the photo of herself on the New York Post website on her phone on the Airporter bus to Grand Central. But she was surprised. She wanted to vomit, and actually feared for a moment that she might. She was the mystery woman, the unnamed ‘black widow spider’ who may have murdered a handsome young American money manager in Dubai.” Along the way there is a Russian spy connection, an FBI investigation,

event at Gibson’s Bookstore in Concord, Bohjalian shared that Kaley Cuoco of Big Bang Theory fame had agreed to play the part of Cassie. It’s a perfect fit. A little ditzy, a little naive, a whole lot of being lost, and a simmering strength. Bohjalian’s writing is strong and the plot moves along. It’s not comfortable to sit with a character who doesn’t seem to learn from her mistakes and who keeps living life with blinders on, but that’s kind of the whole point. He’s captured the essence of a complicated life. We don’t all have happy endings. The pacing is a little inconsistent in this book; the first half is a bit slow but it picks up after the midway point. Although I noticed it, the pacing didn’t get in the way because it was, in part, to include the deep research Bohjalian did about flight attendants, Russians and spies. intrigue and more bad behavior (a lot more). Cassie’s relationship with herself is, well, complicated. She continues to drink and make bad decisions and lose her way, like complicated people do in real life. It’s what makes the character so well-drawn. She’s messy, a work in progress. She’s a liar and a petty thief. It’s painful and sticky, just like the lives of real functioning alcoholics are. You want her to succeed and you are disappointed when she doesn’t — again and again. We all know someone like Cassie. Much of the story lies in the details. Bohjalian is known for doing his research and it shows. He’s well-versed in Russian spy operations and in what flight attendants have to go through. I have a friend who is a flight attendant and she tells me the stories of what happens in flight are spot on. The Flight Attendant has been optioned for a movie, and at a recent book reading

Upon approaching the museum at 40 Park Avenue in Hampton, a visitor takes in Mrs. M’s Garden, which Executive Director Betty Moore designed. “It has massive amounts of color, which people can enjoy not only after they park and enter the museum, but also as they drive to and from Tuck Field and on Park Avenue,” said Moore. “We took particular care to develop an ecologically friendly garden that attracts bees and numerous butterflies. Out the back door of the museum is an historic garden, known as Mrs. B’s Garden, that represents a small 18th-century kitchen garden that would be used to supply a home with medicine, cosmetics, culinary and decorative items.

Known for thoroughly researching the topics in all his novels, he includes stories and facts that make the telling that much more realistic. I enjoy those tidbits. The ending was a bit abrupt. It left me thinking and asking questions about how some of the relationships would change now that the story had concluded the way it had, but isn’t that the sign of a good book? When you turn the last page and keep thinking about the characters and what they would be doing? When you want more? In the end Bohjalian did what he does best. He presented a thriller full of intrigue and plot twists centered around a messy, flawed woman who truly wants to do the right thing but just doesn’t know how. A — Wendy E. N. Thomas

Sublime Fourth

Badfish returns for ska punk party

Badfish. Courtesy photo.

Sublime formed in Southern California in 1988, but as its frenetic ska punk sound began to take hold at a national level in the mid-90s, front man Bradley Nowell died of a drug overdose. Thus, most fans never got to see the band perform live. For many, the closest they’ll get is Badfish – A Tribute to Sublime. In 1999, a group of URI students decided to devote a night to Sublime’s music and scheduled a show, which sold out. They booked a few more, which did the same. By the turn of the century, Badfish had gone from a fun idea to a full-time gig. Drummer Scott Begin recalls when it looked like Badfish might last beyond college. “We were just students living toward graduation and not sure as to what was going to happen,” he said in a recent phone interview. “There were opportunities to do this in more than just a Northeast regional sort of way, and that was basically the point where we said, ‘We can do this, we can go all the way down the East Coast and we can make this happen in the Midwest … we can support ourselves.’”

Badfish was the only live Sublime act on offer until the original band re-formed with a new lead singer in 2009. Begin believes two touring acts — Badfish and now Sublime with Rome as well — help the Sublime legacy. “We’ve been doing it for so long … people kind of know we’re a tribute band,” he said. “When Sublime with Rome started their thing, it was pretty clearly a reincarnation [and] they have two albums, I think, under their belts. I know they obviously play older Sublime stuff [but] I don’t think there is any confusion or much of a conflict. They are still able to keep things going and play shows, as are we.” In fact, original Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh, originally part of the reincarnation of Sublime with Rome, once sat in with Badfish. Begin called the gig his most memorable, even though he ceded his drum kit. “I guess, strangely, that was a show I didn’t play,” he said. “I was able to sit up in the balcony and watch the band that I play in perform. … I think I hopped on and played guitar on a song real quick, but that was it. For me, that was an absolute trip.”

previous Hampton Beach shows and we’ve done some other shows with them,” Begin said. “I’ve kind of lost track but they are good friends of ours now, and we’ve done quite a few shows with them in the area. They put on a great show; it’s always fun playing with them.” They enjoy the annual Fourth of July trip to New Hampshire. “It’s definitely one of the coolest and most fun and most rocking shows we play all year long; I really look forward to it,” Begin said. “It’s a great room and the crowd is great. ...

Badfish grew out of bass player Joel Hanks’s ska punk band. A tribute act was an obvious choice, Begin said. “Those years for us — high school, early college — any radio station, any party you’d go to, you would be hearing Sublime songs. It was a ubiquitous kind of band. Unfortunately, with Bradley Nowell’s passing, they weren’t performing.” Their show sticks mainly to a catalog — five years, four releases — that yielded favorites like “What I Got,” “40 oz. to Freedom,” “Santeria,” and the much loved though lesser-known song that gave Badfish its name. “We’ve covered other people, from NOFX to Tom Petty to Led Zeppelin to Chili Peppers … but more often than not, we’re just going through the straight Sublime set,” Begin said. “We do stretch the songs [and] jam out a little bit at times, and anything can happen at those moments.” Local reggae band Roots of Creation will return to open the Casino Ballroom show. “They’ve probably done a couple of the

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Undignified death

In the northeastern town of Teesside, England, last August, 22-year-old Jordan Easton of Thornaby was at the home of a friend, hanging out in the kitchen, when he boasted that his vest was “stab-proof.” To prove it, he “took hold a knife to demonstrate,” Karin Welsh, Teesside assistant coroner, testified, “and sadly realized it wasn’t the case.” Teesside Live reported Easton was rushed to the hospital, but doctors weren’t able to save him. Detective Superintendent Ted Butcher also testified at Easton’s inquest on June 16 that he found no evidence Easton intended to harm himself and died after “a boisterous act.” Welsh recorded a verdict of “misadventure.”

News you can use

Louis Cote of Mascouche, Quebec, Canada, became suspicious last August of the DNA test results obtained from the samples he collected in his work for the Confederation of Aboriginal People of Canada, whose members use DNA testing to determine their native ancestry. So, CBC News reported on June 13, Cote launched his own experiment. He collected two samples using his own inner-cheek swabs, and a third from his girlfriend’s Chihuahua, Snoopy, and sent them off to Viaguard Accu-Metrics. The results indicated that all three samples had identical DNA, including 12 percent Abenaki and 8 percent Mohawk ancestry. “I thought it was a joke,” Cote said. “The company is fooling people ... the tests are no good.”

Public servants

In Putnam County, Florida, the sheriff’s office provides a wide variety of services. So when Douglas Peter Kelly, 49, called the office on June 12 to complain that the methamphetamine he had been sold was fake, officers happily offered to test it for him. Kelly told detectives he had suffered a “violent reaction” after smoking the substance and wanted to sue the dealer if he had been sold the wrong drug. He arrived at the sheriff’s office and “handed detectives a clear, crystal-like substance wrapped in aluminum foil,” the office’s Facebook post explained, according to The Washington Post. It “field-tested positive for methamphetamine.” On the spot, Kelly was arrested and charged with possession of meth. The Facebook post continued: “Remember, our detectives are always ready to assist anyone who believes they were misled in their illegal drug purchase.”

His performance was promoted as a “response to 20th-century totalitarian violence,” according to The Guardian, but the piece didn’t speak to everyone. “I don’t take anything away from it at all,” said Carolyn Bowerman from Townsville. “I’m just amazed that someone would put themselves through this and go to this much effort.” In a previous performance art piece, Parr hacked at a prosthetic arm with an ax before a shocked audience. • Over in Melbourne, Australia, customers of the Prahran neighborhood Woolworths store will have to park somewhere else on July 9, as renowned American photographer Spencer Tunick captures thousands of willing nudes in a group shot on the store’s rooftop parking lot.

Czech this out

Czechoslovakian president Milos Zeman called a press conference on June 14 in Prague, where Zeman instructed two firefighters in protective gear to incinerate a huge pair of red underpants as reporters watched. The underwear had been hoisted during a 2015 protest at Prague Castle, replacing the presidential flag and symbolizing Zeman’s close relationship with Russia and China. Zeman told reporters, according to the Associated Press: “I’m sorry to make you look like little idiots, you really don’t deserve it.” Zeman’s longstanding difficulties with the press include an incident last year when he waved a fake machine gun at them.

PET OF THE WEEK This sweet Shepherd mix is just 6 months old. He was returned to us because his adopters thought he needed more time than they could provide. They suggested he is fearful of some people, especially men. So what this very deserving puppy needs is a giving and patient home — a home in which folks understand that puppies need nurturing and taking it slow sometimes, despite their apparent energy. Zander seems fine with other dogs, so maybe another dog in his new household might help him learn to navigate people and life. Like all the animals available for adoption at the New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham, Zander is neutered, microchipped and ready for a lifetime of love. Visit nhscpa.org for more information or to see other pets that are up for adoption.
