A WORD FROM LARRY

Master McGrath’s

Hampton Rotary honors Hampton Rotary’s calendar year is July to July, so I wanted to share with you our end of year change-over event recognitions. On June 28, about 50 Rotarians, family and friends met at Grill 28 in Portsmouth to celebrate Larry Marsolais our 2017/18 year, thank the current board of directors and welcome the new 2018/19 board. We work very hard throughout the year doing fundraising so we can give back to our local organizations throughout our community. So we celebrate our year of success with a get together and recognize some of our members. Hampton Rotary’s new president is Donna Abisi; all of us are looking forward to her leadership. She took the position on July 1 as the 50th president of our club.

One of our greatest awards is Rotarian of The Year, and that was presented to Barbara Lizotte, for the second time. Another major award in Rotary is receiving a Paul Harris Fellow (named after the founder of Rotary). President Bill McGowan presented two of these awards, to Stephanie Santos and Ray Tweedie. Bill also received a gift from the club and also one from his board of directors. It was a great evening of fellowship and celebration. Thank you Bill for a great year and welcome Donna as our new president. For more info on the club, go to hamptonrotary.org. As always feel free to call me anytime at 603-935-5096 to discuss local issues or to place an ad.

TREASURE HUNT

SEACOAST SCENE | JULY 5 - 11, 2018 | PAGE 6

Find gifts, souvenirs, antiques and more

Treasure hunt By Rob Levey Maybe you’re on vacation and want a souvenir that screams Seacoast. Maybe you live here and are looking for something to spruce up your home, your wardrobe or your antiques collection. Or maybe you’re searching for the perfect gift. Whatever you need, the Seacoast area has all kinds of shops filled with goodies. Here are a few ideas to get you started on your treasure hunt.

A different kind of gift shop

The Gift Shop at Fuller Gardens in North Hampton is often overlooked, according to Katharine Longo, who orders many of the items for sale there. “People always focus on the gardens, but this is a great little shop,” she said. “We work very hard to constantly bring in new items.” Unlike traditional gift shops on the Seacoast in which you’ll likely find items with a classic ocean or lobster theme, Longo said, they avoid such things altogether. “We have all kinds of items that gardeners love like statuaries, birdhouses, wind chimes, books about gardening, bug repellent,” she said. “We avoid the ‘beach-themed’ products because we want to focus on all things that relate to gardening. … Most of the folks that visit us are into that.” Other items at Fuller Gardens’ Gift Shop are puzzles, candles, jewelry, T-shirts, hats, candies, vases and more. “This is a great little shop and people can visit us whether or not they want to visit the gardens — there is no admission fee here,” Longo joked. Her sister, Victoria Kaiser, has been manager of the shop for more than 20 years. “She does all the online ordering and paperwork after we attend the Made in Maine gift show up in Portland,” she said. “We really like to support our local artisans. We love working together, doing the buying at the show each spring and putting the shop together so we are ready for opening day during our annual plant sale on Mother’s Day weekend.”

Sweet talk

No treasure hunt is complete without candy. Open on the boardwalk in Hampton since 2011, Sweet Hannah’s specializes in more than 100 bulk candies, 24 flavors of Jelly Bellies and ice cream with a complete menu of frappes,

sundaes, ice cream sandwiches made to order and more. Sweet Hannah’s also features fine chocolates, nostalgic candies for mom and dad and homemade fudge with 32 flavors made daily. Co-owner Tim Gilbert loves what they have been able to achieve in these past few years. “We have worked very hard to make Sweet Hannah’s a very special place to visit,” he said. “From our presentation to cleanliness and our employee culture, we are dedicated to make our store a family destination. Many of our customers have become regulars over the past seven years and we always hear that their children want to go to Sweet Hannah’s first.” Gilbert said the shop is trying something new, too; they now offer homemade donuts made fresh every morning in front of customers along with hot and iced coffee. “We are trying to offer our customers what they have asked for — coffee in the morning and doughnuts,” he said. “We have run a few test and training sessions and people love the doughnuts. We even had two or three bakers comment positively about our product, which is nice and makes me feel comfortable.” As for what people must buy if they visit Sweet Hannah’s just once this summer, co-owner Marc Lane said it has to be their homemade fudge. “We offer 32 flavors made fresh daily, which is the most in Hampton Beach,” he said. Gilbert agrees and said their doughnuts would be a close second. For both of them, much of their pride stems from their belief that they have created a place that is fun for kids and adults alike. “For children, our store is almost magical and they can spend a lot of time exploring all the different things we offer,” Lane said. “For grownups, it is like going back to their childhood — we offer a huge selection of nostalgia candy that most people haven’t seen in years and can’t find in most stores.” Gilbert added that their store has often been referred to as “a grandparent trap.” “A grandparent can spend 50 cents or $50 and everyone is happy,” he said.

Fun & functional finds

At Pear Tree Paper and Gifts in downtown Dover, founder Jennifer Blosser said she spends the better part of her time in search of items that are “unique, functional, well-priced and,

when possible, locally sourced.” One of her most unique finds is Pinch Me Therapeutic Dough, which she discovered at a NY NOW gift show in January. “It comes in six different scents and the response has been shocking,” she said. “I knew it would be cool but was surprised by how many others feel the same.” As for how the product works, she said the process is two-fold. First, it occupies the hands, which is a subtle distraction technique to draw attention away from the mind. “This is especially useful during times of stress,” she said. Blosser said keeping your hands busy also relaxes muscles and reduces tension, which is redirected to the dough and away from you. “As an added benefit, the soft scents in Pinch Me were individually handselected as soothing and effective relaxants,” she said. Jewelry is another customer favorite at her shop, and she cited the creations of Amy Vander Els, a local jeweler who lives in Amesbury, Mass. Based in Boston, Love Pop cards are also popular at her shop. “They have blown up the greeting card world,” she said. “They are amazing.” Yogibo, based in Nashua, is another popular product she sells at her store. “They are known for their chairs, but they sell an eye mask and different style ‘Squeezyboos,’” she said. “Kids have been hunting them down.” Noting she has been open for four

and a half years, Blosser said life as a business owner is like “a crash course in how to wing every decision and still be successful.” “To be honest, I am still in it so that’s something,” she said. “There have been a lot of curve balls thrown at me and Pear Tree still prevails.”

Antiques option

Located on Epping Road in Exeter, Olde Towne Hall Antiques is the perfect destination for those on the hunt for treasure. For owner Natalie Healy, part or her excitement today stems from their new location, which she opened just this past April. Prior to opening on Epping Road, Olde Town Hall had been located in the old Stratham Town Hall (c. 1876) on Portsmouth Avenue since 2009. “That lovely old building served us well for nine years but the building was sold in December,” she said. “The contrast between our old and new shop is dramatic, though, as we have gone from a Victorian era shop to a contemporary space with lots of light and air conditioners.” The new space is large, too. “We have 12 rooms here and they are filled to capacity,” said Healy, who said she appreciates all the dealers who took a “roller coaster ride” with her from January to March this year. “They stuck it out through multiple disappointments and uncertainty about a new location for Olde Towne Hall and I am forever grateful to them,” she said. “Their support and loyalty meant the world to me.”

Olde Town Hall Antiques features items from more than 30 dealers and consignors, including a wide selection of vintage merchandise ranging from country, shabby, traditional furniture and military to ephemera, vintage jewelry and clothes. You will also find collectible china and glass, canes, books, fabric, artwork, patio and garden pieces and more. “One of our dealers has a beautiful small, Asian cupboard, while another consignor has a very distinctive vintage German Christmas piece,” added Healy. “We also have some nifty lockers in bright aqua for great storage.” For collectors of vintage Wallace Nutting, a New Hampshire photographer who had his prints hand painted at the turn and early part of the 20th century, Olde Town Hall Antiques is in possession of a nice array on display. As for price points, shoppers can expect reasonably priced items that “fit all pocketbooks.” “We want to make the shopping experience in our shop as pleasant for the customers as possible,” she said. Stories abound at Olde Towne Hall Antiques. Healy recounted one story in which a consignor brought in several items, which included glassware, artwork and two cartoon drawings of Popeye and Olive Oyl that were shrink-wrapped together. The cartoon drawings caught her eye as did the name of a shop listed on the back. “I called the shop, and the owner remembered shrink-wrapping them in 1974,” she said. “They were signed by Rob Sagendorf, a cartoon artist friend

of the owner.” The owner then inquired as to whether the consignor wished to sell them to him. “After some dickering, we settled on a price of $350,” said Healy. “I was thrilled to get a good price for my consignor.” As for the favorite part about her shop, she cited the relationships she has built through the years with her customers as well as the dealers, some of whom she considers good friends. “We also have ‘Dealer Dinners’ and do road trips primarily to museums,” she said. “My philosophy about my business and life for that matter is to enjoy it. … A perfect day would be for every customer and dealer to walk out of the shop with a smile — oh, a purchase would be nice too.”

Downtown treasures

Just a couple miles away from Olde Towne Hall Antiques, another destination is downtown Exeter, which features an incredible array of unique shops. At Trends Gift Gallery & Invitation Studio across from The Bandstand, you will find everything from greeting cards to jewelry, home accents, wedding gifts and accessories, toys and more. “We have been open 34 years this year and have something for every age and budget,” said Kathy Lemirise, who owns Trends with her husband Keith. Wines are especially popular at Trends, which she attributes to the closing of two wine shops in town in recent years.

Events at Trends in Exeter Every Friday of the year from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Trends in downtown Exeter hosts complimentary wine tastings. “It is a fantastic wine tasting with wonderful people and so many new friendships being made,” said Kathy. “It feels great to see couples going out to dinner in Exeter who met at our wine tasting.”

SEACOAST SCENE | JULY 5 - 11, 2018 | PAGE 12

On July 12, Trends will host its annual “50% OFF Sidewalk Sale,” while every day they provide Stonewall Kitchen and Port City Pretzel tastings. “We also sell half-price restaurant gift certificates to more than 30 local Seacoast restaurants,” added Kathy. “It’s a terrific way to try new restaurants and save.”

“We had so many customers asking us to please carry wine,” she said. “We sell Stonewall Kitchen so it seemed to be a nice segue.” After “dozens of customers” asked them to sell wine, she said, they listened and secured their wine license in 2016. “We currently carry over 100 wines from all over the world,” said Kathy, who noted most of their wines range in price between $10 and $20. “Our wines are specialty, exclusive wines not available at the local liquor store.” According to her, their goal is superior customer service. “It feels so great knowing our customers and what they like,” she said. “We recently did a graduation invitation for a client and she said, ‘We did our wedding invitations here, baby announcements and now our daughter’s college graduation.’ It is full circle and we love that.” Serendipity Boutique is another shopping spot in downtown Exeter, and it includes a wide selection of fair trade, U.S. and locally handmade clothing, jewelry, accessories and gifts. It has operated as an independently family-owned shop for more than 40 years, so when you purchase an item here you know you are supporting all things local.

For antiques and rare finds, stop by Willowby Wood’s Antiques, Etc., which specializes in one-of-akind hand-painted home furnishings and decor accents. Owned by Andrea Burzon, this shop has been in several locations on the Seacoast since it opened in 1999. Another unique option is the Gift Shop at the American Independence Museum, which is located just off the historic Ladd-Gilman House (c. 1721). Museum curator Rachel Passannante orders many, if not all, of the items at the shop. “We have a range of items, from those that deal with the American Revolution and reproduction of some of our collection to decorative pieces for the home and children’s toys,” she said. “What makes our gift shop unique is its location in a circa 1800s one-room house that was added to the Ladd-Gilman House around 1820 as a summer kitchen. The gift shop building adds character to the shop.” Local is a big emphasis at the museum’s gift shop, too. “We have pottery made in Portsmouth, tea towels made in Newmarket, soy candles from Maine, and jewelry handmade here in Exeter,” she said. Passannante acknowledged, however, that their biggest challenge is

getting people to become aware that a great deal of their gift shop is not really about history. “We have a variety of items that go beyond history,” she said. “We have items for decoration, the kitchen, and adornment. … Exeter itself is just a great place to shop in general, so we are excited to be part of the scene here.” If art holds your interest, check out Honeyhole, which is an artisan gallery that features upcycled goods and what they refer to as “swanky salvage” along with original art and paintings by co-owner Brian Dubina. For those who want to take a break from shopping, nearby The Offbeat Owl Paint Bar is perfect. According to owner Cindy Frederico Giusti, the place has been open since August 2015. Its motto is “Eat – Drink – Paint.” “People paint various barware, ceramics, lamps, wooden signs, instructed acrylic painting, palette knife painting, watercolor painting and gouache painting,” noted Giusto, regarding the media in which customers work. “They also create mosaics using glass, tiles and sea glass.” She said birthday and company parties are especially big there. “We love to go all out for these parties from food to painting,” she said.

Gallery goodies

Heading south from Exeter, and loosely staying within this artistic vein, Riverwalk Gallery in Amesbury is not to be missed. According to Carolyn Ramm, who has owned the gallery for three years, the gallery has morphed from its origins as a bead shop from years ago. “The previous owner added a gift gallery element, and we expanded it,” she said. “We like to think of ourselves as a place with handmade locally sourced items that support local artists.” In total, she said, they feature the work of about 35 artists, half of whom are from Amesbury or adjacent towns. As for what to expect while there, Ramm cited everything from locally handcrafted artisan jewelry, photography and pottery to beeswax candles, crystals, gemstones, local honey, organic body care products and more. If the unique selection and the numerous classes offered throughout the year are not enough to draw you into her gallery, she said, downtown Amesbury is “an undiscovered gem” itself. “Amesbury is trying to raise itself to the next level,” she said. “This is a very charming town with quite a few charming little shops. There are also some great restaurants here. … It’s an uncrowded New England town with a beautiful and historic town center, and the parking is free, too.”

PEOPLE AND PLACES

KRYSTAL COUTURE SALSA DANCER Krystal Couture and her husband Piotrek Kowalczyk run Salsa Secrets, a Latin dance studio in Portsmouth that’s hosting a public dance event downtown on Saturday, July 7, and Saturday, July 14, at 3 p.m. The Salsa in the Park events will start with a 30-minute salsa footwork combination, followed by social dancing. When did dance enter your life? I started off dancing ballet when I was 3 years old. I didn’t find Latin dance until much later in my life. I think I was 24 or 25 after my career with ballet was over. At first it was a bit of a challenge to adjust because the posture is so different. But I’ve really come to love Latin dance and the freedom of dance. I walked into Piotrek’s studio one day before we were married and I instantly fell in love with dancing with him and he with me and that’s how the studio became ours together. Coming from a ballet background, what is the biggest difference between ballet and Latin dance? As I get older and reflect upon this more, so much of what I did learning ballet and training in ballet for my whole life into college was about posutring and really creating something that was a perfect moment. When I found Latin dance, there was something very different about it that wasn’t about the perfect movement but rather about the essence of the movement and why you are performing. That’s really why I love teaching and why I love being with this company, because we focus on this healing aspect of dance. We focus upon allowing people to express themselves and open their hearts and put that on top of great technique and great movements. The combination of the two is life-changing for a dancer. What is it about salsa that you think makes for a communal event? Salsa dance is a dance that was created in America in the 1950s but it came from Cuban roots. It came from Cuba. It’s the idea of the African slaves and the Spanish coming together with movement. Latin dance started in the streets and it was bringing people together in families and communities and dancing for pur-

pose. Dancing means something greater than just what’s inside of you, there’s more than just what’s inside of you. Have you ever encountered someone who had no rhythm? What we say is that if you can walk you can dance. So much of having no rhythm comes from many other sources — it doesn’t come from your body being unable to move; it comes from a belief that you can’t move or other emotional things going on. We like to see the changes that people experience and they go through because of the dance. It’s rare. We’ve never had someone that hits the wall and doesn’t flourish in some form through the dance. What makes someone a good dancer, in your opinion? A good dancer is someone who has their heart open, someone who is an extension of the music. They feel that music coming up their body and allow that to guide the movement and then they become that extension of the moment. They are presented well, they’re opening their hearts to the possibilities and they’re sharing this experience. Salsa dancing and Latin dancing is all about partnering, right? They’re sharing this experience with another person and the other person is having just as much fun even if they only know the basic steps. That’s the light, that’s the brilliance of it, that’s what being a good dancer is. It’s not about fancy, it’s about the experience and then fancy can fit on top and that’s awesome but it’s that experience. Have you had the opportunity to dance the salsa in other countries? We actually travel to Cuba several times a year to train in the dance because … we feel like it’s really important to get into those roots to feel that purpose. In Cuba there’s not a lot of resources and there’s not a lot of stuff there. So what they have is this essence of community, they have this essence of family and they have this extreme inspiration and extreme passion because it’s all there is. The way that they express the movement is fascinating. Training with them is amazing. We’ve actually taken our students a couple of times to Cuba, which has been a wonderful experience for them because

it opens them up to that richness of the expression, the richness of the culture and the roots of where the dance originally came from.

What are some of your other favorite styles of dance? The Latin dances that we have at our studio are cha-cha, merengue, bachata, salsa, mumba — we have that Latin realm. For me personally, I spend a lot of time doing lindy hop and jive, which are fast American dances that were coming out around the same time that salsa was forming. You try lots of different dances and they all serve different purposes for you. Krystal Couture and her husband Piotrek Kowalczyk. Courtesy photo. It’s this love for the Latin flavor and the We’re kind of in this place where we are Latin music that really — it sets someexploring a connection to the Earth. We thing up inside of me, it’s like a spark love being at the ocean, we like spending of brightness and a spark of brilliance. time with each other. We like going into I just want to dance when I hear Latin the depths of who we are and exploring music. that within our relationship. Is there any style of dance you still want to explore? Oh yeah. There is a dance called bollerot. It’s another Cuban dance. It’s a beautiful dance, the music sounds a little bit like cha-cha. It’s very romantic and black-and-white movie romance. So I’m very attracted to that, I’ve just had a taste of it in Cuba and I can’t wait to learn more. When you are not dancing what else do you like to do for fun? Our dance company, we use this slogan called ‘the healing power of dance,’ which is our vibe. I’m also a healer, so that’s our other business is a holistic healing practice. Our life is centered around the ideas of expanding consciousness.

Are you from the Seacoast originally? I grew up in northern New Hampshire. My parents always had a place on York Beach so I was always very familiar with the Seacoast and I was here all summer long and spending a lot of time on the Seacoast. My partner Piotrek actually came from Poland to Boston to study music and then he found dance. There was an opportunity for him to play music at the Wentworth by the Sea and that’s where the dance started for him as well. He just started finding more and more people who wanted to learn. This community opened itself to him and I was living here and that’s how we came to be. — Ethan Hogan SEACOAST SCENE | JULY 5 - 11, 2018 | PAGE 19

Q&A’S

We talked to people on the beach and asked them some tough questions... Q: If your life were to be a movie who would you want to have playing you and why?

Q: If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would it be and why?

A: Probably Tiffany Haddish because she’s really funny.

A: I would go to Italy because of my family heritage and it’s so pretty there.

LAURA (BILLERICA, N.H.)

Q: What is your favorite animal? A: My favorite animal is the humpback whale because it’s a massive animal, it’s got sheer size and charisma, and you don’t see them all the time unless they want to surface.

JIM (MERRIMACK, N.H.)

EMILY (TEWKSBURY, N.H.)

Q: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, which would you choose? A: It would definitely be chicken Parm. This is going to sound cheesy but there’s protein in there, there are carbs, it’s overall a good food to eat and I love Italian.

ELIJAH GUARIN (WORCESTER, N.H.)

Q: If your life were a movie or TV show, what genre would it be?

Q: If you were to be a professional in any sport, which would you choose?

A: Oh, I think it would be a comedy because I have a pretty fun time and I could see myself in Modern Family or something like that.

A: I think it would definitely have to be lacrosse because it’s my favorite and I love being on the field.

On the shoreline, under the stars, beachgoers will gather for a cinematic experience when Monday Movie Nights on the Beach return. The season’s premier showing is July 9 at 8 p.m., and the movie nights continue through the last Monday of August. According to Hampton Beach Village District Marketing Director John Kane, the district has hosted the weekly event for about 12 years. “Kids enjoy it because they can bring treats and lay out and make a pillow out of the sands,” Kane added. “We also have older people who enjoy coming because it reminds them of the drive-ins they enjoyed in the past.” As many as 600 to 700 people flock to the beach for each showing. “It’s extremely popular,” said Kane. “We have people show up 40 minutes early sometimes.” The Hampton Beach Village District knows how to accommodate a large and eager audience. The district sets a table up well in advance so that guests who show up early know where the movie will be, and the film is projected with crowd size in mind, for maximum ease of viewing. “The movie screen is very large,” said Kane. “It takes three people to set up the screen, it’s so big.” The family-friendly nature of the event may be a contributing factor in its popularity. “Monday Movie Nights on the Beach are always geared toward kids and families,” said Kane. “It’s right next to the playground so kids see it and then people start coming and coming and coming.” Kane credits State of New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration Document Processing Director Debra Bour-

beau with choosing many of the flicks shown. “I’d like to give a shout out to [Debra], who donates the movies,” said Kane. “Debra ... has grandkids and knows what kids are watching.” Guests seeking nostalgia will also be pleased to know that both old and new movies can make appearances. To see what will be playing, visitors can check Hampton Beach’s Facebook page the Thursday preceding each show. This is when the movie titles are revealed. “We might have a popular movie [planned] and, if it rains, this gives us the leeway to play it the following week,” Kane said of why they don’t announce movies further ahead of time. Kane recommends adults bring beach chairs and children bring towels for an optimal experience. He’s seen kids use the sand to create pillows for themselves. Kane also advises guests to bring whatever treats they’d like from home. Visitors can also find what they need in the area, he said. Some nearby shops, including Surfside Market and Sweet Hannah’s, sell beach supplies, as well as snacks and desserts. But guests don’t need to spend money to enjoy Monday Movie Nights on the Beach. “Watching a movie on the beach under the stars — it can’t get any better,” said Kane. “And it’s free.” The event accommodates those with handicaps; a ramp makes Monday Movie Nights on the Beach accessible for guests with wheelchairs. For more on this and other upcoming Hampton Beach events and attractions, visit the Hampton Beach Village District’s Facebook page. — Melissa Proulx

The striped bass migration is in full swing as New Hampshire’s sought-after sportfish are currently fattening up at the bottom of the Great Bay and along the Piscataqua River, having just finished spawning in the Chesapeake Bay and Hudson River. The end of June was the start of prime striper season along the Seacoast. “The younger fish, once they reach about two years old, they start migrating and become a part of the coastal migratory stock during the beginning of the summer here,” said Doug Grout, Chief of Marine Fisheries with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. “They come up in June and stay around for most of the summer before they start migrating back south somewhere around September or October.“ The best striper fishing takes place along the banks of the Great Bay and its Piscataqua River outlet, as well as off the shore where the river spills into the Atlantic Ocean and south to the Massachusetts border. The diverse environments in which these fish can be found, in both salt and fresh water reservoirs, make them the optimal target for avid fishers both off the shore and on a boat. Stripers are rarely caught more than a couple of miles off the coast, but for those unfamiliar with the local area Grout suggests visiting the New Hampshire Fish and Game website for a comprehensive list of popular charter services along the Seacoast area. “There’s a number of charter boats within New Hampshire that will take you out striper fishing for a fee. But because these fish are in our estuaries and bays, you don’t necessarily need to have a big boat to go fishing for these animals. A lot of people have started kayak fishing for striper inside the estuaries and bays,” Grout said. “We just ask that people be cautious about the tides and the currents, but there are a lot of places in Hampton, Seabrook and the Great Bay that we will see people fishing from kayaks for these stripers.” Due to the fact that these fish can be found so close to the shore, they are accessible to those fishing from land, and anglers have the opportunity to catch not just the smaller fish in the area but the much larger striped bass that can occasionally exceed 50 pounds as well. Things to keep in mind while fishing for these monster fish are the laws put in place by New Hampshire Fish and Game to ensure that these sportfish will remain abundant and healthy in these local

CAR TALK

Starting problem likely has the easy solution of a loose cable Dear Car Talk: Buzz, our 2011 Toyota RAV4, let us down. After a 65th wedding anniversary celebration, Buzz refused to start. My favorite nephew popped the hood and said he By Ray Magliozzi would jump-start Buzz. Alas, after three attempts, Buzz did nothing. My nephew then looked more carefully, popped open a small cover next to the battery, pulled a wrench from his toolbox ... smiled again and announced that he would restart the computer. It worked! He sent me on my 200-mile drive home with the wrench just in case! When I called the Toyota service department the next day, I was told that my nephew did the right thing. So I reset the clock and radio, and will mail the wrench back — after I purchase a replacement to carry in the glove box. The question: Is it normal for a car to act like this? Are there precautions I should take, other than purchasing my own wrench that fits? — Claire You should consider forcing your nephew into indentured servitude, Claire. Tell him if he plays his cards right, he might inherit a 2011 RAV4 someday. I’m actually confused by his use of the

phrase “restarting the computer.” But here’s what I’m guessing happened: The car wouldn’t start because there was a loose connection coming off the battery. There are two cables attached to the battery. One is a ground cable that goes to the chassis, and the other cable goes to the power distribution box. If either cable doesn’t have a good, tight connection, the battery’s power will be unable to get to the rest of the car. So a jump-start, which just boosts the battery, might not help either. So, what your favorite nephew probably did was remove the little black plastic cover on the battery terminal and tighten up the loose cable with his wrench. That reconnected the battery to the rest of the car, and everything worked fine. You had to reset your clock and radio presets because the battery had effectively been disconnected while you were boozing it up at the anniversary party, Claire. The connection simply may have shaken itself loose over the six years you’ve been driving the car. Or corrosion may have built up to the point that it was interfering in the transfer of electricity. Or maybe you had the battery changed at some point more recently, and the mechanic just didn’t tighten everything up correctly.

In any case, unless the terminals are badly corroded, I doubt you’ll need to perform the same procedure again anytime soon. But keep the wrench in your car anyway. . Dear Car Talk: I have a 2015 Kia Sportage with 25,000 miles on it that I purchased new. At about 15,000 miles, I noticed a slight ping when slowly climbing hills. I tried changing gas, to no avail. Then I noticed that when I parked the car on a slight hill, facing either up or down, I got a loud noise for about a second or two when I started the car. It sounds like the bearings are starving for oil. I made a recording of this and took it to the dealer. They said it’s a normal sound for newer vehicles. Pinging and bearing noise is the new normal? What’s the next stage of normal — oil leaks and blue smoke? What do you think? — Dennis That’s the old normal, Dennis. Cars shouldn’t ping at all these days. They all have knock sensors that automatically adjust the timing if you happen to get gasoline that has too low of an octane rating. So it’s possible you have a bad knock sensor. But that would trigger a check engine light, and you didn’t mention that. It also may be something other than

pinging that you’re hearing. Try putting a tank of the highest-octane fuel you can find in the car. If you still hear the noise at the same intensity, then it’s not pinging, it’s something else. At that point, your dealer will need to hear it to figure it out. It could be a loose heat shield, or a loose or broken exhaust manifold bolt. Or almost anything. As for the starting noises, car engines, especially smaller ones, do make more noise when they first start up these days, usually as the hydraulic lifters get pressurized. If it goes away in less than 15 seconds — which you say it does — I wouldn’t worry too much about it, as long as your oil level is correct. But in any case, it’s good that you reported it to the dealer, and that it’s noted on your repair order. That way, if it does get markedly worse over time, and something really is wrong, you’ll have a record that you complained about it while the car was under warranty. The other thing you can do is ask to drive a used, 2015 Sportage that the dealer has on the lot. See if it makes the same noises. The dealer is telling you that, essentially, “they all do that.” So drive another 2015 and see for yourself if they do. Visit Cartalk.com.

FOOD

AT BG’S BOATHOUSE RESTAURANT A casual seafood spot with a beautiful view of Sagamore Creek, BG’s BoatHouse (91 Wentworth Road, Portsmouth, 431-1074) is ready to welcome you with Happy Hour specials that complement the fresh seafood menu. Owner Jeff Graves filled us in on some family history, his favorites, and why BG’s BoatHouse has what he considers the best clams around. Photos provided by Marisa Novello at Darci Creative.

How long has BG’s BoatHouse been around? This is our 41st season. It was started by Bruce and Joanne Graves, my father and mother. “BG” stands for my dad, Bruce Graves. My dad’s good friend, Dick Blalock, had recently opened the Old Ferry Landing Restaurant on Ceres Street in Portsmouth and suggested that my father open a restaurant on the piece of property he had recently purchased. The land was previously the home of Henry’s Lobster Pound Restaurant. This was [my parents’] first time owning a restaurant. My dad was … in the construction management business … [and] was the mayor of Portsmouth for two terms. My mother worked for couple of U.S. senators … and also at a bank and as a secretary at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. I started working with several experienced cooks when I was 16 years old, and I took over the business with my brother Jay when my parents passed away. Currently, my wife Lori and I own the business. Two of my children work for us; my son Jacob in the kitchen and my daughter Dayna manages the servers.

What makes BG’s BoatHouse unique? We are located on the water overlooking the Sagamore Creek. Customers are able to pull up by boat, and we rent out 15 seasonal boat slips. We also have free parking in front of the restaurant and across the street from the restaurant. What is your personal favorite dish? My personal favorite dish is BoatHouse Special; it’s your typical New England lobster dinner with steamers: a one-pound lobster, one pound of steamers, potato or rice, and our homemade coleslaw. Corn can be ordered on the side, for an additional charge. We also have the best fried clams around! My clam guy, Burt Dow, calls me every morning at 7 a.m. and takes my order, [then] delivers me the best clams around. What is a dish everyone should try? Baked stuffed haddock with our seafood homemade stuffing recipe. We

use the freshest haddock and stuff it with a Ritz cracker seafood vegetable stuffing that I make with scallops, shrimp, zucchini and onion [and] mushrooms with special seasoning. What is an essential skill to running a restaurant? You must be able to multitask. [You have to] do all of the food, paper and produce ordering for the entire restaurant. Having a good memory, a photographic memory [helps]. My wife oversees staffing, payroll and staying on top of the bill-paying; she has the business management skill set and worked in the corporate [world] before working with me in the restaurant. We both work behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly on a daily basis. … Every manager and employee here also has an intricate role in helping provide good customer service. We have employees that started off in high school and are still working for us.

What is your favorite part of being on the Seacoast? Our favorite part of being on the Seacoast is our locals; we have a lot of locals that come to us every day from when we open in spring to when we close in the fall. In the summer, we advertise through the Chamber of Commerce and our website, and that brings in a lot of tourists from all parts of the country. We are on the water and are close to the beaches, so people love coming in to enjoy our beautiful view, sitting out on our deck in the sun or on our covered deck. We also have a full-service bar and side bar to enjoy the view and have our popular Boathouse Punch. — Alison Downs Give props to your favorite restaurant!

Slaw mix Every once in a while, I’ll discover a product that makes my life easier. My favorites recently are liquid stevia, Norwex window cloths, Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi and ... a bag of slaw mix. Random, right? Slaw mix is currently rocking my world for so many reasons. For one, all the work is done for you. Just say “no” to chopping and prepping and say yes to ease. Before about two weeks ago, I never considered purchasing slaw mix because I actually don’t really like cole slaw. It can be too creamy and unhealthy for my taste and I typically skip it as a side with my barbecue. Yet, slaw mix can do so much more I didn’t even know about. First of all, what’s in slaw mix? Slaw mix consists of mostly cabbage with some shredded carrots often added. It’s crunchy, ridiculously healthy and surStir Fry with Cabbage

DRINK

Sangria for the summer

121950

A few good options, plus how to make it Summer is in full swing and we are celebrating July 4 this week, which means time with family, fireworks and cold beverages. One of my favorite summer drinks is sangria, because it can be red or white and made with a variety of ingredients to your own liking. Typically you’ll start with a fruity wine like merlot, or a drier white wine like pinot grigio, and add from there. For a different option as a base, you could use a fruit wine instead. Several New Hampshire wineries make some great options, like LaBelle Winery’s cranberry or Zorvino Vineyard’s Skinny Guinea Red or Z Plum. When I make red sangria I like to use blackberry brandy, but you can also use an orange liqueur like Grand Marnier. For white I like to use peach schnapps and then add other ingredients like lemonade, seltzer or other fruit juice. From there you can add your favorite vodka or rum. Make the sangria ahead of time by adding some sliced fruit and chilling it in the fridge for several hours. You can buy pre-made sangria in the bottle or box. Last summer I tried Franzia sangria in the box, and it was not my favorite. Yellow Tail sangria was another one that didn’t receive high marks from me; I purchased it because it was one of the only choices during a stop before a party. However, I have enjoyed Bandit sangria and Beso Del Sol Red, both of which can be found in local grocery stores. Both of these are smooth, fruity and refreshing. There are several other pre-made sangria options available at New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets, made by several brands including Sutter Home, Barefoot Cellars, Flip Flop and more. The majority (if not all) are red sangria. Though whites do exist, red sangria is much more common, especially from the larger brands. I always like to make my own sangria, but sometimes time and ingredients are limited, so these are another great option. And sometimes a bottle or box can be much easier to transport during summer activities. Plus, many of these boxes contain several liters, so they are great to share with a group at a party, and will last for a couple of weeks in the fridge. If you are looking for a slightly different (and Italian) twist on a white sangria

recipe, try this one from Fabrizia: Combine 2 ounces dry white wine, 1 ounce Fabrizia Limoncello, 1/4 ounce raspberry vodka, simple syrup and lemon juice to taste. If you are looking for foods to pair with sangria, think Spanish, Tex-Mex or Thai dishes. Red sangria can stand up to the spiciness in dishes with chorizo, jalapeños, chipotle and even curry. Salsa and chips aren’t out either. White sangria pairs well with seafood, especially if you are using a drier, crisper white wine as the base. Finally, you can still enjoy cheese, crackers and even cured meats with sangria as well; just consider the flavors in the sangria. Try a variety and see what pairs best. — Stefanie Phillips

POP CULTURE

Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian (Simon & Schuster, 404 pages)

For golf enthusiasts, there are already a dozen or so books about Tiger Woods, including those written by Tiger’s father, caddy and coach, and even a couple ostensibly penned by Tiger himself. Woods’ fans have already read those. The new book on the golf superstar, Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian, is for those of us who didn’t, people who don’t care that much about golf, not even so much about Tiger Woods, unless he happens to be embroiled in some new scandal. Here, the authors have written more “whodunit” than biography, which took extraordinary skill, given that the tawdry secrets of Woods’ personal life have been splayed in the National Enquirer and Vanity Fair. Benedict and Keteyian take those undignified headlines, fill in the background and connect all the dots. They did so by reading everything virtually everything written about Woods, from magazine articles to court transcripts; by listening to every press conference; and by talking to everyone associated with Woods who would grant them an interview. That would not include Woods, his mother or his former wife. But the authors, investigative journalists, interviewed some 250 people, to include Woods’ kindergarten teacher, his first serious girlfriend, the woman who owned the house where Woods used to stay during the Masters and the sexton who dug Woods’ father’s grave. Theirs was a massive and tedious excavation that ensures that Benedict and Keteyian will do as good a job as anyone ever will in answering the questions, “Who is Tiger Woods, and why should anyone still care?” The story begins graveside a dozen years ago, as the cremated remains of Earl Woods, Tiger’s celebrated yet controversial father, are buried in a square wooden box that measures 10 by 10 inches. The ceremony, such as it was, was 20 minutes long and sparsely attended. There were six people present: Tiger, his mother, and wife; and Earl’s three children from his first marriage.

In these opening pages, Benedict and Keteyian establish themselves as masters of the telling detail. There are two in this scene: first, that there were two limousines to ferry six people; and second, that Earl Woods lies – apparently still – in an unmarked grave. “The only way to tell where Earl Woods is buried is to know where to look for the corner markers buried in the earth. You have to have a map to find them,” the Kansas sexton who dug the grave told Benedict and Keteyian. (He also told them it took him nearly an hour to dig the grave, which was 42 inches deep.) With this masterful prologue, the authors set up a mystery (why is this important man laid to rest in this way?) while taking a preemptive swipe at anyone who questions the 400-plus pages that follow, which are, on the whole, a devastating portrait of both Woods and his parents. Long credited as a major reason for Tiger’s success, the parents are also credited with his moral failings, and not just the tawdry infidelities that led to his divorce, or the arrogant abuses of celebrity. Equally damning are the puerile, sexual jokes; the long-term relationships, both professional and personal, that Woods abruptly ends over minor slights; and Woods’ crude

standing, still swinging, despite his physical breakdowns and surgeries, despite the loss of his father and his wife, despite the humiliation of the scandals, not the least of which was the revelation that he often dined with his wife — and once picked up one of his mistresses — at a Perkins Family Restaurant and Bakery. (Celebrities! They eat pancakes and flirt with waitresses just like us!) But at its heart, Tiger Woods is a cautionary tale: the stomach-turning results of a child raised in a cauldron into which is thrown a pinch of resentment, a handful of inspiration, and alternating pails of adulation and discipline bordering on abuse. We are left to wonder how the story would have turned out if Earl Woods, in addition to hitting golf balls for hours in front of his 6-month-old son and giving him motivational tapes to listen to in grade school, had not exposed the child to constant profanity, serial betrayal and a sham of a marriage that remained intact even when the partners lived in separate houses — and if Tiger’s parents had worked at something other than Tiger and asked their son, just occasionally, to do his laundry and take out the trash.

and dismissive treatment of people who don’t dwell in his stratosphere. One in particular stands out: He encounters the woman who owns the house he stayed at for several years while playing at the Masters, she offers her hand and introduces herself, and he ignores both her hands and words, speaks to someone else and then leaves. His father called him “the chosen one,” but in these and similar anecdotes, the Tiger Woods in these pages is a profane, selfabsorbed jerk, and with each revelation the questions the authors ask become as much about us as they are about him. Is there nothing we won’t forgive, so long as the objects of our communal affection are still (relatively) young, good-looking and competitive? Nike stuck with Woods even at the height of his first scandal; there’s since been another, 2017’s DUI arrest, for which he is still on probation. Woods is playing again, bantering in the Bleacher Report about whether pro golfers should be able to wear shorts, and some observers think he might win one of the 10 tournaments he’s scheduled to play in this summer. Tiger Woods helps to explain how Earl and Kultida Woods built a man who is still

Drummer Alan White reflects on band’s 50th Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Yes are celebrating 50 years as a band, and Alan White has played drums for nearly all of them. Yes’s true identity is a tricky topic, however. Two groups share the name — one led by original singer Jon Anderson and keyboard player Rick Wakeman and another with White and guitarist Steve Howe, which hits Hampton Beach on July 11. White doesn’t dwell on the rift. “They can do whatever they want. I don’t complain or talk about it really,” White said in a recent phone interview. “I just get on playing Yes music, which is what I’ve always done for the last Yes.

I said, ‘John, you know that piano part is really really good — why don’t you just start by using the piano and singing and the band comes in?’ ... and that’s what happened.” When he’s not touring with Yes, White plays with his own band. “Imagine” is a frequent request at his shows, as is “Instant Karma,” which he also helped make. “It’s really an incredible feeling to have been a part of that,” he said. “Every time I go to a party and jam with a band, everybody wants me to play [those songs]. ...

Goodbye Groovechild Final show honors late frontman In the early 1990s, the Seacoast was bursting with an eclectic array of talent. As filmmaker Marc Dole captured so well in his documentary In Danger of Being Discovered, it was less a music scene than a giant melting pot of genres, each poised to hit the next level. That said, one band stood out from the pack: Groovechild, led by restive singer Jeff Bibbo. “If you were a betting man, you put your money on Groovechild to make it,” fellow musician and “Seacoast rock bard” Tom Colletta said in the film. But Bibbo’s mistrust of the music business, coupled with his inner demons, conspired against that future. After selling out the Music Hall on the heels of their debut album Sick at Last, they spurned major multiple label offers, releasing 1995’s House of Life independently and played sporadically for another decade, with Bibbo and guitarist Bryan Killough at the band’s core. Dole’s film coaxed them back — the Music Hall premiere in January 2012 occasioned a reunion show, and Groovechild was soon working on new music. The result is Climber, their first new album in over two decades. Tragically, Bibbo died suddenly on Feb. 24, 2018, just as the record was being sent out for mastering. He was 45. A concert July 7 at Portsmouth’s 3S Artspace will pay tribute to Groovechild’s late leader, mark the CD’s release, and serve as the band’s final performance. Sitting in for Bibbo at the show will be several friends and musical collaborators. Nate Edgar was Groovechild’s bass player in the late 1990s, during an era of shifting lineups. He’s also played with John Brown’s Body and is currently in funk and soul band Nth Power. Edgar couldn’t make the 2012 Music Hall show, but as plans

for a new album began to form, Bibbo and Killough recruited him, along with Nth Power drummer Nikki Glaspie. “Jeff and I had become friends again. ... We talked once a week,” Edgar said recently. “I went over to Bryan’s house — his five kids were running around and stuff — and met Jeff there. They had a computer in the back room and started playing me these riffs. They were so much more focused, [and] they were excited to be writing music again. That excitement, creatively, is kind of where it’s at. My career path has been hanging out with the most excited people I could.” Edgar was right in line with Bibbo and Killough’s vision. “I was getting into a lot more harder rock again at that point,” he said. “It felt kind of synergistic … these guys playing their flannel funk jazz-juiced rock. It felt cool, like I had something to contribute, rather than just hanging out with my boys playing the songs. I’m hearing this stuff get to me, you know?” According to Edgar, the source of the album’s title dark. “Jeff and Bryan said, ‘We’re gonna call it Climber,’ and I said, ‘That’s cool, I like that word.’ Then we were looking at a tree outside the studio [and] I said, ‘That wasn’t as large when I first started working here.’ They went, ‘Oh, poor Climber.’” It turned out that the two were talking about a feline that had played in the tree until it “was torn to shreds by a coyote, or a fisher cat or something … so they named their record after a dead cat.” More striking than the title, and its bizarre skull-ladder-to-the-stars cover artwork, is how much Bibbo loved the music made by Groovechild on Climber. “I never heard him really be happy with things he’d done, and he was stoked,” Edgar said. “I was like, ‘Wow, you should

be stoked — it sounds great.’ I hope people enjoy the show, give thanks, and give reverence for being able to be part of something that was pretty cool, as a fan, as a musician, as someone from the area watching a band with an original sound work through the years.” — Michael Witthaus

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

To absent friends

During the 2014 World Cup, five friends in Durango, Mexico, made a pact to travel to the 2018 tournament in Russia. They saved their money, bought a bus, painted it in Mexico’s colors and booked passage for themselves and the bus on a ship going to Spain, where The Daily Mail reported, the friends planned to drive the bus to Russia. But just before they boarded the ship in April, one of the five, Javier, told his friends his wife had put the kibosh on his trip. So the remaining four did the next best thing: They made a cardboard life-size cutout of Javier, looking grumpy and wearing a shirt that says, “My wife didn’t let me go,” and set off for Russia. The cardboard Javier has been very popular at the soccer venues, attracting female admirers, appearing on the big screen, crowdsurfing and being photographed with fellow football fans from all over the world.

Anger management

In North Port, Florida, a witness watched on June 17 as 75-year-old Helena Molnar beat an unnamed man with a water jug after he watered her plants. When he emptied the rest of the water in the jug on her plants, she went inside her house and returned with a different weapon, which the witness didn’t see but said “made a different sound” than the water jug. According to WWSB TV, North Port police arrived to find the victim soaking wet, with blood drops on his shirt. Molnar was charged with battery.

Art makes a statement

• At the Royal College of Art’s annual London fashion show in June, one graduate unveiled a unique approach to accessorizing garments: crystallized bodily fluids. Alice Potts displayed a pair of ballet shoes decorated with crystals formed from sweat, along with a fake fur adorned with urine crystals. Potts told Reuters the “more natural materials” could offer environmental benefits not possible with traditional plastics. • To kick off an exhibition focused on the opioid crisis at his Stamford, Connecticut, art gallery on June 22, gallery owner Fernando Alvarez and artist Domenic Esposito placed an 800-pound, 11-foot-long steel sculpture of a bent and burned spoon in front of the headquarters of Purdue Pharma, makers of OxyContin. Purdue has been the subject of lawsuits alleging deceptive marketing and, therefore, responsibility for opioid addiction and overdose issues. “The spoon has always been an albatross for my family,” said Esposito, whose brother has struggled with drug addiction for 14 years.

Rynerson’s wife was startled to see her husband in the garage at their home, and after he explained what happened, she convinced him to go back. She “personally drove him back to the Mesa County Detention Facility,” the report noted, and he was back in custody by 11 p.m., with new charges, including escape and forgery, added to his list. • A woman in Wenling, China, was so thrilled to be driving the Ferrari 458 she rented on June 21 that she recorded herself while waiting at a stoplight: “First time driving a Ferrari. This truly is the most amazing feeling.” But within minutes, reported the Daily Mail, she swerved out of control, striking a metal traffic barrier and a BMW X3, destroying the front end of the $660,000 Ferrari and deploying its airbags. Neither the driver nor her passenger was injured in the accident.

Recurring themes

In this week’s installment of foreign objects stuck in body cavities: Mr. Li of China’s Guangdong Province went to the doctor on June 15 at Pingshan Hospital in Shenzhen after feeling discomfort and pain in his ear. Using an otoscope scan, the doctor discovered a live cockroach burrowing into the 52-year-old man’s ear canal. “It’s still alive, still moving,” the doctor can be heard on video saying, according to The Daily Mail. She cut the roach into pieces to remove it and disin-
