A WORD FROM LARRY

Master McGrath’s

My Top 10 This week I thought I would put together my Top 10 things to do while on the Seacoast. So here they are, in no particular order. Let’s start In Portsmouth with adventures in the sky and in the water: There’s Seacoast Larry Marsolais Helicopter Tours (44 Durham St.) and Water Country water park (2300 Lafayette Road). For fun on the ground, check out Rye Airfield, an indoor skate park (6 Airfield Drive, Rye). In Hampton we have Tuck Museum, where you can learn some local history (40 Park Ave.). At Smuttynose Brewing, take a tour and enjoy a cold one (105 Towle Farm Road), and pick up a club for some mini-golf at Captain Cove Adventure Golf (812 Lafayette Road). Rent a scooter and tour the coast at Sea-

coast Scooters (12 Lafayette Road, North Hampton). Visit a veteran owned and operated distillery in Seabrook: Smoky Quartz (894 Lafayette Road). Like antique shops? East Coast Props & Antiques has two locations: 852 Lafayette Road, Hampton, and 4 Lafayette Road, Hampton Falls. My last pick is in Salisbury. Captain Corner (75 Main St.) offers mini-golf, go-carts and much more. This is a great variety of things to do on a nice sunny day or when it’s raining and you want to go inside. I have tried them all at least once, and really enjoyed each experience. Whatever you’re doing, I hope you have fun. As always feel free to call me anytime at 603-935-5096 to discuss local issues or to place an ad. Larry Marsolais is the general manager of the Seacoast Scene and the former president of the Hampton Rotary Club.

Summer

Art Scene

The Seacoast is a veritable haven for art lovers, with numerous galleries as well as events that take place year-round. For artists and gallery owners, though, the summer is probably the best time of year in which to create and share art. “It is great to see all the activity on the Seacoast and people enjoying themselves,” said artist Doreen Boissonneault, whose work can be seen at Frisella Fine Art Gallery in Hampton Falls. For her, the Seacoast itself serves as a source of inspiration, as many of her paintings — oil on wood panels — attempt to capture the ocean and various beach scenes. She noted many of her beach SEACOAST SCENE | JULY 19 - 25, 2018 | PAGE 6

by Rob Levey scenes, which often include rolling waves, rock cliffs and fish shacks, are painted on a cad red or yellow okra colored substrate. “Those colors show a lot of movement,” she said. “Bright colors give a vibration.” When not painting scenes inspired by the Seacoast, Boissonneault takes her work in an entirely different direction. She said her “second love” is nocturnal urban scenes. “All of these scenes have a red background, which gives off a nice reflection for the lights and night,” she said. She especially loves Boston urban scenes — one of her favorites is the Citgo sign. Paris and New York City are other favorites, although she acknowledges she

has not traveled to the latter in some time. “I have to go back there,” said Boissonneault, who said she works from photos she herself has personally taken while in cities. “I need to experience where I am and what is around me,” she added. For artist Robin Frisella, owner of Frisella Fine Art Gallery, Boissonneault’s passion for the Seacoast mirrors her own, which is why she moved her gallery from Candia a little more than two years ago. “I can walk along the beach in the morning and clear my mind,” she said. “This is the spot to be and perfect for my gallery.” In her own work, she said she tries to

capture and convey the peace and quiet of the Seacoast, especially its beaches. “I try to bring people back to a simpler time. The beach inspires me,” she said. In regard to living on the Seacoast, Frisella believes the vibrant art scene serves as a source of inspiration for many artists. “I think we all feed off each other as artists,” she said. “It is so inspiring and encourages us to do more. It is so exciting and so great to do something you love and to be around people that share that passion.” Artist and Rye resident Nina Herlihy 7 loves this time of year, too.

7 and how those elements had enhanced the story of the image I am painting,” she said. “I like editing the photos to fill the composition with the details that give the item a story.” It is this last element — capturing “the quiet, often overlooked story” of various discarded items — that especially inspires her. “They have such character in their decomposing state,” she said. It could be the rust on old cars and trucks, peeling paint or broken beams of aged wood, or the cracked glass and how the light reflects or refracts off something. “It’s so much fun for me to not only try to capture this, but to also follow what the paints and brushstrokes bring to it,” she said. “I love making choices of leaving an expressive brushstroke in the painting because even though it doesn’t correspond exactly, it animates the painting in an interesting way.” In getting settled into her new environs in Exeter, Ellis said, she feels welcomed by the local art community as well as getting to know her neighbors and church family. She has also hung her work in various plac-

es, including D2Java, the Provident Bank and Exeter Public Library in Exeter and Main Street Art in Newfields. “I feel grateful to them for supporting local artists,” she said. As for how her art affects people, she cited an appreciation for the beautiful stories that exist but often go unnoticed. “I love texture, I love wood grain, or peeling paint,” she said. “I paint what intrigues me and I am learning, very happily, that these images connect with some people I meet, too.” These people often share their stories with her as well. “They know these trucks, they lived around these barns, they have their own story to relate to the boat or shingled beach house or antique chair,” she said. “That’s exciting to me — hearing the story of the person as they see my interpretation of whatever subject matter I painted and 10 Read on!

8 relishing the small details that make them unique.” Trucks appear to be among some of her most popular works. “I just sold two truck paintings to a lovely local couple, including a yellow truck titled ‘Dirty Old Man,’” she said. “I am setting up commissions for two more truck paintings and I am part of a truck and barn exhibit in October at Main Street Art with other local artists. … I am thrilled to be able to paint one of my favorite subjects.” For Ellis, her paintings are not complete, however, until she frames them. She frames her paintings in unstained knotty pine, using the knots or holes to enhance the images. She believes the texture of the images is brought out to the frame. “It remains subtle in color to not distract the eye too much,” she said. “I learned to use a miter saw, which a woodworking artist friend gave me a great lesson on. It’s been trial and error to make the rustic wooden frames to complete the look, but I’m getting more adept at making my frames and am thrilled people comment on liking them.”

10 Bruce Iverson Asian Brush Painting 31 Boss Ave., Portsmouth, iversonarts.com Artist Bruce Iverson brings a 3,000-yearold tradition to life. Using a style called “hsieh-I,” Iverson paints spontaneous strokes of watercolor to create images of the natural world on handmade rice papers and silk scarves. According to tradition, the artist wanders outdoors, observes nature and then paints what is most vividly remembered. In all cases, the work should express “chi.” This term can best be translated as breath or spirit — the energy that gives something life. To create his works, Iverson uses simple yet elegant tools called the “Four Treasures”: hand-ground sumi ink, bamboo brushes, a carved inkstone and hand-made rice papers or silk scarves.

PEOPLE AND PLACES

SHARON MARCELLA MARSTON ARTIST AND OPERATIONS MANAGER OF TEAM (TOWN, EXETER, ARTS, MUSIC) IN EXETER

Describe your background in art. How did you get into it? I think you are born an artist. I have been creating things for as long as I can remember. Painting and drawing helped me express myself as a kid in a way that nothing else could.

Did you end up doing art in high school? Yes, the art department there was amazing. I did everything from screen printing to ceramics and collage. I graduated from Exeter High School in 1990.

Did you go to college for art? Yes, I went on to attend Portland School of Art — now the Maine College of Art. Through my four years there, I explored graphic design, metalsmithing, sculpture, and ceramics. It was an amazing experience, quite intense at times — lots of Art History and long studio sessions, too. My major for the first two years was graphic design. In my third year, I started making pottery and fell absolutely in love with it. I changed my major to ceramics and graduated in 1995 with a bachelor of fine arts degree.

What did you do after college? I started my own ceramics business. I was doing mostly orders online for custom pottery pieces. I did lots of fairs and shows as well and had a little retail space where I sold pottery and gave lessons. That same year I got married and two years later had my first of two children. My art life took a back burner. I was still making pottery and doing occasional shows but family life took over.

I understand you work in the art licensing industry. When did that start? About 10 years ago — I was creating a

What don’t people know about art or the creative process that you wish or hope they would? I wish that people would realize that making art is such a big part of my being — without it, I would emotionally collapse. I wish that people would consider the art that I create as my job. It’s not free. I don’t do it for “exposure.” I need to get paid for my work just like everyone else. I wish that people would respect the creative process as hard work and not just play time. When not creating art, what do you do for fun? I love drinking wine with friends, being social, being involved with planning and cultivating art and music events. I like spending time with my family, going to the beach to walk and explore. I like photography, history, especially local — I am chair of the East Kingston Historical Society. What is your perfect sort of day? My perfect day involves getting up late and having great conversation with my dad about whatever is important in our lives at the time. A clean canvas at my easel and fresh ideas to fill it. Being alone long enough to get my painting to a place that makes me satisfied. Having a great dinner out with my family, drinking enough wine to relax my soul and later meeting up with friends. At home and after everyone is asleep, I eat some ice cream and work on my painting until my eyes close. — Rob Levey

SEACOAST SCENE | JULY 19 - 25, 2018 | PAGE 22

What I did: Allow me to begin by saying that I am a wheel guy -- as in the more the merrier. This stems from my grandfather always having a rule that he made all of his kids and grandkids promise at some point in their lives that they would never ride, drive or buy a motorcycle. I was also that kid growing up who never learned how to ride a bike until middle school because, again, I have always had a strong inclination to avoid any mode of transportation that was supported by fewer than four wheels. Put me at the top of a waterslide or send me to the top of a zipline and I am good to go, but I am still haunted to this day by the time I followed a group of my friends down a steep hill, they on bikes and myself trailing behind on one of those skatepark scooters, and taking a turn too sharply and ending up face-first on the pavement. Although a scooter isn’t anywhere near as powerful and nowhere near as intimidating as a motorcycle, I was still quite nervous going into this adventure. All of that anxious nervousness disappeared, however, as soon as I walked through the doors of Seacoast Scooters and met the owner, Kirsten, who, sensing my inexperience and nervousness, kindly walked me through the rental process and led me through the instructional breakdown of learning to drive a moped. Seacoast Scooters provided the option of the more modern and sleek Honda Metropolitan or the classic-looking and more popular Honda Ruckus. Choosing the Ruckus, and following the instructional breakdown of operating such a vehicle, I threw on my mandatory eyewear and strapped on my complimentary helmet ready to hit the expansive back parking lot to try it out. After I made a few passes around the open lot, a couple things became clear.

Seacoast Scooters of North Hampton. Photo by Andrew Clay.

The first was why Kirsten’s advice was “respect it.” So often are people quick to disrespect the scooter because it has a top speed somewhere between 30 and 40 miles an hour, but as Kirsten said, “We’ve had experienced motorcycle riders come in and be surprised by these scooters.” I was most certainly respecting the scooter. The second thing that immediately became clear to me was that any speed seems significantly faster when you’re that low to the ground with nothing but the wind and air surrounding you.

After a couple more passes around the parking lot, I deemed myself ready to hit the road. Slowly maneuvering myself to the exit of the parking lot, I planted my feet on the ground and looked at the oncoming traffic, curious as to whether I would be able

to keep up, still yet to truly open up the engine and test the limits of my scooter. I waited for a significant gap in traffic and floored it, and this is when a third thing became immediately clear to me: The faster I go, the less of a feeling there is of being about to fall over. Much more confident now, I made my way to the nearest red light to then turn on to the closest back road. There is something so peaceful and serene about driving around and getting lost on back roads with nowhere specific to go and nothing specific to do, and this is exactly the state of mind that I had while touring the North Hampton streets. Aside from the one-time experience of not taking a turn onto a residential road sharp enough and coming three inches from becoming very well-acquainted with the side of a landscaping company truck, I was rapidly beginning to get the hang of driving this scooter. From five minutes of near horror trying to become acquainted with my ride in a back parking lot to zipping around the road like a seasoned veteran, the hourlong rental flew by and before I knew it my phone was buzzing letting me know that it was time to head back to the store.

Who should try this? Scooter rental is for everyone above the age of 18 with a valid driver’s license who is craving a sense of adventure and looking for a fun, adventurous way of getting around an area that is very much becoming a “scooter town.” I quickly came to the conclusion that renting a scooter is not so much the idea of renting transportation to get from point A to point B, but is truly an adventure within itself.

July through October is fair season in New Hampshire, and this year more than a dozen country fairs are scheduled to take place across the state. It all starts, as it has for many years, with the Stratham Fair, happening Thursday, July 19, through Sunday, July 22. Now in its 51st year, the Stratham Fair is one of the oldest country fairs in New England. You’ll find all the traditional fair fun: farm animals, amusement rides, live entertainment, tasty food and more. Two of the most long-standing events at the fair — the horse pull, held since the inaugural fair, and the oxen pull, held since the second fair — continue to draw large crowds. “The roots of the fair are based in agriculture, and we still give people the opportunity to see those traditional agricultural events, like a horse pull, and to see the animals up close,” fair entertainment coordinator Vicky Avery said. The local 4-H Youth Development Program will also have agricultural events each day, such as a rabbit show, a goat milking demonstration, a tractor driving contest, a working steer show, animal costume classes, a dairy calf obstacle course and more. “It’s a great experience to talk with the 4-H-ers,” Avery said. “They work really hard to take care of their animals yearround for this kind of event. They’re proud of their animals, and they love to talk about them.” There will be three stages with live entertainment. The Family Fun Stage will feature magic shows, kids’ music and the famous Stratham Fair Pie Eating Contest. At the Center Stage, local musicians and dance groups will perform. The Beer Tent Stage is the place for acoustic music, wine, hard cider and beer from this year’s featured brewer, Sea Dog Brewing Co. In addition to the food concessions, which will include burgers, fajitas, ice cream, lemonade and other fair favorites, there will be special meals: a chili dinner on Thursday, a lobster bake lunch on Saturday and a chicken barbecue on Sunday. New this year, there will be an artisan demonstration area where a leatherworker, a blacksmith and other artisans will sell their handmade products and demonstrate their craft. “It’s just another way for people to see how things are made, and the traditions that have been around for many years

and many generations,” Avery said. This will be the second year that the fair has had fireworks on opening night, and the first year that it will also have fireworks on closing night. “It’s an exciting thing to get people to come out and kick off the celebration with some fireworks, and now it will be a nice way to wrap things up and bring the community together.” — Angie Sykeny

Water safety first

Hampton Beach hosts annual safety event State Marine Patrol, New Hampshire Fish and Game, the U.S. Coast Guard, Marine Mammal Rescue, local surf company Cinnamon Rainbows and the Blue Ocean Society. Tables will be set up along the beach throughout the day by each of the participating departments, which will answer questions about safety as well as their organizations and what they do. “You could be someone who just wants to learn more about what the New Hampshire State Beach Patrol does or the Coast Guard, the Marine Patrol, and that’s how we built it,” said Murphy. Though the event is meant for everyone, the kids are the main focus point of the day. “Instead of being the lifeguards that are out there sitting on the chair, jumping in the water, making rescues, we wanted

to do more,” said Murphy. “We wanted to do everything we could to help people. We knew that a great way to do this would be to get the kids involved. We wanted to help build a community of safety-conscious individuals who know what to do.” Demonstrations focused around water education will be scattered throughout the day. The lifeguards will be putting on a variety of rescue demonstrations including a torp rescue, a jet ski rescue, and a rescue reel demonstration that involves a lifeguard swimming out to a mock victim and having the kids reel the duo back to shore. Cinnamon Rainbows Surf Co. will be demonstrating proper boogie boarding techniques, while the Hampton Fire Department will be providing other rescue demonstrations. Educational games will be held along the beach by the various safety crews attending Water Safety Day this summer. The Hampton Beach lifeguards will host a children’s version of a beach musical chairs tournament with kids starting on their stomach and racing to grab a flag. A tennis ball rescue game will be held to help teach kids what a day in the life of a lifeguard is like.

“It’s just a day to really promote water safety and a way for us to help everybody be better-prepared for any situation that might come to them,” said Murphy. Water Safety Day began three years ago when Murphy and New Hampshire State Beach Patrol Captain Jeff Kelley came up with the idea to bring the community together in an attempt to raise the water education level in a town that is so driven by the ocean. “We really wanted to work on helping the community. … There’s a lot to do at Hampton Beach but there’s not a lot to do that’s interacting with the lifeguards,” Murphy said. “We wanted to get more kids involved to help build a community of safety-conscious individuals who know what to do.” He said one of the goals this year is to be even more interactive with the public, because the interactions over the past couple of years have been highly positive. “You get all these kids really excited, they’re having fun, they’re hanging out with the lifeguards for the day,” Murphy said. “We really want people to be excited. We’re really excited. It’s a great day, it’s a great event and we just want people to come and enjoy it as much as possible.” — Andrew Clay

There may be no safer day to be at Hampton Beach than Thursday, July 26, as the sandy coast behind the Seashell Complex will be lined with experts dedicated to educating and interacting with the public for the third annual Water Safety Day, happening from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. “It’s a day to promote water safety, not only in the ocean but any time someone goes to the water, to a lake, to a river, a pool, we’re here to help people bring their knowledge up about how to be safe and how to have fun and enjoy water and water activities,” said Patrick Murphy, deputy chief of New Hampshire State Beach Patrol. Along with the State Beach Patrol, Murphy and his team will be joined by the Hampton Police Department, Hampton Fire Department, New Hampshire

CAR TALK

Convertible-loving mom needs a taller car Dear Car Talk: My soon-to-be-80 mom is a lifelong convertible driver. She currently drives a 2005 Chrysler Sebring Convertible with 64,000 miles on it. Over the By Ray Magliozzi years, the car seems to have gotten lower to the ground, and she’s having difficulty getting into and out of it. For her birthday, I was thinking of replacing her car, and I wanted to get her something a little “taller,” as it were. Of course, it still has to be a convertible — at this stage of the game, she wants what she wants, and she gets what she wants. I looked at a 2016 Buick Cascada, but even the base model comes with all sorts of things she’ll never use, like a navigation system, XM radio, etc. Can you suggest anything that might be a little “simpler” yet still higher off the ground than the Sebring in or around the same price range as the used Cascada? — Rory If she generally likes the Sebring except for the spring-sag, I think you’ve homed in on the right replacement for her in the Cascada. That’s the closest you can get, these days, to the Sebring in terms of design, comfort and handling.

I mean, you can consider a few others. VW makes a Beetle Convertible, and Mini makes a Cooper Convertible. But she might not like the way those look. And if she thinks the Sebring is a good-looking car, I’m guessing she’ll turn her nose up at the VW Beetle or Mini. But you can show them to her. Maybe she’ll love one of them. Audi makes a very nice A3 convertible, but that’s not going to be in the same price range as the Cascada. Neither is the BMW 4 Series convertible. And if you get her a low, little sports car like the Mazda Miata, you’ll also have to install a winch in her driveway to lift her into and out of it. So even though the Cascada has technology she might not use, I think that’s probably your best bet, Rory. All cars have new technology now. Some of it (the safety stuff) is wonderful and doesn’t require her to do much to use it — she just has to know what the warning lights or sounds mean. The rest, she can ignore. If she doesn’t want to listen to satellite radio, then she doesn’t have to subscribe. If she doesn’t want to use the navigation, she can just drive around and get lost, like she does now. As long as she can get comfortable using the basic functions of the car — starting it,

changing gears, steering, stopping and turning on the windshield wipers — she should be very happy in the Cascada. Dear Car Talk: I bought a 2009 Honda Accord in 2009, which now has 125,000 original miles on it. I have never changed the oil or transmission fluid. The car still drives perfectly. What did I do wrong? — Rev. Marvin P.S. What is an original mile? I can only guess that you have some higher mechanical connection that the rest of us don’t. Because failing to change the oil for 125,000 miles would croak most engines. The fact that your car is still running perfectly is a testament (no pun intended) to how well Honda designed and built it. We’ve seen engines whose oil hasn’t been changed for only three or four years, and they’re already toast. The sludge and varnishes on the valve train would make you cross yourself in fear — unless you’re a mechanic with kids in college. Then you’d say grace for what you’re about to receive. So you can either go for the Guinness Book of World Records and see how long this thing will run without an oil change, or you can rush over to the dealer before it starts blowing blue smoke and trade it in while it’s

still worth something. You can tell the dealer it has original miles and original oil. The transmission fluid is less of an issue. In fact, lots of cars now don’t even call for transmission fluid changes; the transmission is sealed at the factory. But the engine oil — even superior synthetic oil — is supposed to be changed every 10,000 to 15,000 miles at most. To answer your other question, Rev., there are several theories about the term “original miles.” There’s the theory that since odometers used to turn over at 99,999 miles, a car could show 25,000 miles and really have 125,000 on it. So the 25,000 would not be “original miles.” A similar theory says it came from the time when it was much easier for a used-car dealer to roll back the odometer with an electric drill. So it meant “actual miles.” But my understanding is that the term “original miles” dates back to when engines typically lasted only 50,000 or 75,000 miles before needing to be replaced or rebuilt. So if you had 80,000 “original miles,” that meant the car had its original, un-rebuilt engine in it. Or, in other words, when you saw an ad for a used car that said “80,000 original miles,” you knew you’d be due for a rebuild on the way home after you bought it. Visit Cartalk.com.

AT RONALDO’S ITALIAN RESTAURANT Nothing says Italian quite like pasta, and Ronaldo’s Italian Restaurant (69 Lafayette Road, North Hampton, 603-964-5064) is serving it up by the pan full. If you’re in the mood for something a little different, you can also order your protein with veggies or fries, and there is a children’s menu to ensure even the little ones leave happy. Owner Vickie Fjelseth sat down with the Scene to chat about her favorite menu items, the joys — and challenges — of relocating to New Hampshire from Texas, and why you need to bring your appetite when you visit Ronaldo’s. How long has Ronaldo’s Italian Restaurant been around? Ronaldo’s has been around well over 30 years. I don’t know exactly, [but] if you said 35, I don’t think you’d be wrong. [I’ve been here] five years. My son-in-law was from this area; he and I had worked together previously at another corporation. I had retired, and we decided we wanted to have a venture together, and this was available and we were able to get it. It’s a ton of fun. What makes Ronaldo’s unique? What makes [us] unique is the large portions; no matter what you purchase, you’re taking half of it home that night. And a lot of our dishes are served in frying pans! What is your personal favorite dish? Mine happens to be the Warm Chicken Salad, which is not a salad, it’s a dinner — I think it was misnamed years ago. It’s sautéed chicken over a bed of penne pasta with red and green bell peppers, mush-

vegetables. Chicken Parm, seafood fettuccine and the Frutti di Mare fly out the door. The Frutti di Mare is a huge dish served in a big frying pan with a lobster over the top of it. It has mussels, clams, calamari and shrimp in it, [served] over a bed of pasta. It can’t go home in your normal to-go dish, either; it goes in a big catering pan. It’s good! What is a dish everyone should try? The Seafood Fettuccini, or sure. We have a unique way of making our alfredo sauce: you don’t get that just anywhere. It’s different than anyone else’s. It’s made with cream and cheese and other [top secret] ingredients that make it very thick. And of course, it’s full of all of your seafood. Seafood mac and cheese is another really good [dish]. What is an essential skill to running a restaurant? Being a people person. Being able to

deal with people is probably the number one thing that will make or break a restaurant. Customers are extremely challenging, they’re always right, never wrong. We are so unique, we have customers who have been coming here since they were small children: they graduated here, had all their birthdays here, got engaged here, they do their anniversaries here. Now their grandkids are coming here. [These long-term customers] can pretty well tell you exactly — with their eyes closed — what they’re eating and how it should taste, without ever seeing the dish. That is probably the biggest challenge we have, is to always keep those customers happy. Consistency. You have to get in here, learn the recipes, learn what it needs to taste like. We have people [on staff] who hang around forever. There is a challenge on the beach to keep employees, so keeping people in the kitchen counts more to me than keeping [staff] in the

dining room. As long as I’m always in the dining room, they don’t care who else is out there.

What is your favorite part of being on the Seacoast? The ocean! The trees! The four seasons! This state is a gift from God. I lived 37 years in Texas; I came from Midland, Texas, to Hampton, New Hampshire. It was a huge change, and I don’t mind the heat, I don’t mind the cold. I knew what I was moving to to begin with. The one small challenging thing about here is the humidity. Now that was a surprise to me! I was led to believe there isn’t a lot of humidity. Well, that was incorrect. But that’s all right. We get it for what, 90 days a year? I can deal with it. And I’m in the restaurant more than anywhere else, so as long as I stay inside I don’t have anything to worry about. — Alison Downs

Radishes

General Store

Radishes are completely underrated. With the exception of Peter Rabbit stories, where the protagonist is constantly stealing them from Mr. McGregor’s garden, radishes seem to get no airtime. Radishes are a root vegetable, like a carrot, but are part of the same family as broccoli and cabbage. Like their family members, they prefer cooler climates in which to grow. They’re a great early spring vegetable to plant alongside your greens and broccoli! Unsurprisingly, radishes are very good for you. In case you hadn’t heard, vegetables are pretty amazing for our bodies. Seriously, in a perfect world, we should be eating mostly vegetables. Not only would our bodies be healthier but also our footprint on the earth would be gentler. Win-win. According to Self magazine’s website, radishes contain riboflavin, B6, calcium, magnesium, copper and manganese. They’re also wonderfully fibrous so

Easiest Radish Ideas 1. Slice ’em and salt ’em. Well, that was easy. 2. Chop ’em and roast ’em. Coat with olive oil and roast for about 15 to 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

So chill

How to keep your wine cool Summer is in full swing now, and white wine seems like the only option in the heat. I like to enjoy it chilled, straight out of the fridge. But there are times when I am not enjoying wine at home and instead am enjoying it with friends or family at an outdoor picnic. For those outings, there are a few accessories I like to take along to keep my wine cold.

Corkcicle

The Corkcicle is a great summertime accessory if you are enjoying white or sparkling wines. You chill it in the freezer, and then put it down into the opened bottle. I believe they also make these with a spout on top so you can pour while it is right in the bottle.

Chiller cups

Corkcicle brand, along with some others, makes stemless wine glasses that also serve as chiller cups. The Corkcicle cups I have say that they will keep liquids cool for nine hours. I haven’t tested this yet but hope to this summer. Additionally these cups claim to keep liquids hot for three hours, so they can also be used in the winter. Some other positives about these cups: they are easy to pack, aren’t made of glass (if you are in a setting like a pool, where this would be dangerous) and are reusable.

Wine opener

121950

If you’re bringing wine to a summer gathering and it doesn’t have a screw top, it’s always a good idea to pack a wine opener. This may sound silly, but some people don’t have them at the ready like the rest of us. I keep extra wine openers on hand that I get at tastings or festivals, just in case I forget to bring it home.

Ice cubes?

Some wine enthusiasts scoff at the idea of putting ice cubes into wine because it essentially dilutes its flavor and character. Other people swear by it, even in their red wine. I try to avoid this, but there are times where it seems like the option to cool wine down quickly. If this is something you like, then go with it. Your wine may end up a little bit watered down, but sometimes that’s a better option than warm wine.

White wine

Though I like to plan for things, there are always unexpected gatherings or events that pop up during the summer. I like to keep a bottle or two of white wine (pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, etc.) on hand this time of year. Keep one in the wine rack and one in the fridge in case you go somewhere or have friends or Alternative containers Don’t discount boxed wine, or as I like family over. to call it, “adult juice boxes.” If you want to enjoy some wine but the setting calls for What I’m drinking I recently picked up a bottle of Two something other than glass, wine in a box Princes 2015 Riesling from Germany. is a great alternative.

Vegans, beware The Last Lobster. The book masquerades as a mild-mannered examination of the effects of climate change on Maine’s most prolific industry, but anyone perched on the extreme edge of animal rights will see it as suffer porn, with its dispassionate details of how lobsters get from ocean to table. For omnivores, Christopher White’s new book is an interesting, if sometimes tedious, look at what’s happening on the floor of the Atlantic as water temperatures slowly climb. The Gulf of Maine, which stretches from Cape Cod to Cape Sable Island (also known as the lobster capital of Canada), is warming by an average of one degree every two years, according to White. This may not be significant to anyone who tries to swim in it in June, but some scientists believe that it’s enough to cause a creeping northward migration of some types of marine life. This includes blue crabs, cod and lobsters, which cannot survive in water over 70 degrees. “The whole species profile of the North Atlantic is changing, and with it the ecosystem,” writes White, a Princeton-educated biologist and author of three other books, including one on the oyster industry. But don’t cry for the lobster, or the lobsterman — not yet. In fact, the lobster industry is booming, which makes much of White’s detail-rich narrative seem like overwrought hand-wringing. The lobstermen whom White befriends (no easy task since Mainers tend to view people “from away” with disdain) have harvested record amounts of lobster in recent years, so much so that teenagers have made $60,000 in a summer, and boat captains more than $200,000 a year. This is because there’s recently been a veritable glut of lobsters, yielding more than 120 million pounds of lobster in each of the past five years. This is six times the amount of lobster harvested in the 1980s, at least in Maine. It’s a different story in Connecticut and northern Long Island, where lobster used to be abundant but by 2013 had shrunk to 3 percent of what it used to be. In Maine, however, the good times are rolling. Lobstermen are buying bigger houses and bigger boats, leading White and others to worry about what’s going to happen if the Gulf of Maine keeps getting warmer and the lobsters scuttle even farther north. For now, though, it’s estimated that there are about 250 million lobsters in the Gulf of Maine, five times the number two decades ago. It’s believed that the lobsters are multiplying like rabbits because the warming water is doing two things: reducing the number of predators, and disrupting the natural

SEACOAST SCENE | JULY 19 - 25, 2018 | PAGE 36

reproductive cycle of lobsters. Just as hot temperatures cause human beings to shed their clothes, warm water induces molting in lobsters, White explains. Instead of shedding its exoskeleton once over the summer, a lobster will molt twice when the water is warmer, and lobsters will mature faster and mate more readily. (Consult pages 67 and 68 for a primer on lobster sex.) Hence, the lobster boom, for now. The book, however, is not so much a celebration as it is a cautionary tale, with White, faceless and shrouded, solemnly pointing to the Lobsterless Summer Yet To Come. There will be foreclosures, he warns. There will be unemployment. There will be armed conflict between competing lobstermen from Maine and Canada. “This is a ticking suitcase out there,” White quotes a Maine lobsterman as saying. “It’s just a matter of months before someone gets killed.” Hyperbole happens, but it’s clear that the men and women who trade in lobsters are obsessives with the intensity of Captain Ahab. Even in the water off Stonington, Maine, a town in which three-quarters of the citizens owe their livelihood to lobsters, boat captains have established territories which newcomers invade at their peril. Throw a trap into someone else’s water, and it will be vandalized. When such territorialism involves nation’s borders, things will get ugly, and when the lobsters leave the coast of Maine, the state’s treasured culture will collapse, White warns. Predictably, there is a solution, bringing up the rear in this paragraph on the infighting between Canada and Maine: “The great irony is that lobsters do not

observe international boundaries. They are on the move between the Gray Zone and beyond. No treaty or trap cutting or gunfire can stop them. Just a ban on fossil fuels.” White acknowledges that Maine’s lobstermen do not all buy into the business of climate change; he records one exchange between two boat captains who have a terse exchange over the subject “like two bulls in a ring.” But although White clearly believes we’re witnessing a calamity unfold in real time, his story is not overtly political and is largely an engrossing look at a way of life that’s more Melville than Zuckerberg. Particularly interesting are the lives of Julie and Sid Eaton, a Stonington couple who are captains of their own ships. Curiously, although White depicts Julie Eaton as an animal lover given to anthropomorphizing, no one in this narrative ever stops to consider the point of view of the star of this show, the lobster itself. New research on how crustaceans process pain has led some countries, including Sweden and New Zealand, to make it illegal to boil lobsters alive. Sweden also recently mandated that caught lobsters must be transported in salt water, not on ice. But these are headlines not welcome on the coast of Maine, and White’s access to lobster boats would have been abruptly cut off had he mentioned them. Subtitled “Boom or Bust for Maine’s Greatest Fishery?,” The Last Lobster poses the question but doesn’t answer it, which makes its conclusion vaguely unsatisfying, as does a low-grade hysteria that seems a bit premature. However, its depiction of interesting lives, both human and crustacean, makes for an interesting read, so long as the reader is not overly stressed by what occurs at a lobster bake.

Cowboy Junkies return

Slowcore band heads to Portsmouth with rocked up new LP After an ambitious creative period, Cowboy Junkies songwriter and guitarist Michael Timmins stopped to catch his breath. Beginning in 2010, his band recorded the four-volume Nomad Series — meditations on China, songs by musical compatriot Vic Chesnutt, a livein-the-studio album, a nostalgic folk collection — and ended mid-decade with Notes Falling Slow, a completist box set of their early 2000s output. Throughout it all were live dates. The Canadian band works like Bob Dylan — with a bit more vacation time. “We’re kind of always on tour,” Timmins said in a recent phone interview, “but we don’t do long runs anymore. ... Ten days is as much as we do, then we go home and do four or five the next month.” Still, they were busy enough that finding time to come up with new material wasn’t easy. “Four, five years had gone by and we went, ‘Hey, we need a new record,’” Timmins said. “You gotta get ideas to write; it’s never taken that long for me to get that itch back, but this time it did. Once I started to get into it ... the whole concept began to flow.” What resulted is a record that rivals 1988’s breakout The Trinity Session. Released July 13, All That Reckoning is at times elegiac, brimming with the band’s signature downbeat style Timmins jokingly calls “slowcore,” but it’s also full of crunchy chords and feedback that’s more reminiscent of

another Canadian, Neil Young. The brilliant title cut is offered both ways, laconic and rocked up. “It’s kind of in our DNA,” Timmins said. “One of the things we wanted to do was bring in that psychedelic side; that fuzzy stuff is represented a bit. That’s why we used two versions; they both have a statement to make. They’re the exact same song. There’s MICHAEL TIMMONS nothing different lyrically or structurally, it’s just the way we approached them. It really expresses the two sides of our personality.”

One of the things we wanted to do was bring in that psychedelic side.

Lyrically, it’s the band’s most bluntly political effort, though the bleak American landscape of “Sing Me a Song” and the cynical players depicted in “Missing Children” — punctuated by slashing guitars — were mostly born before the moment in history they seem to depict. The songs began to come together in late 2015. “A lot of stuff had begun to roll,” Timmins said. “As these social storm clouds began to get darker and darker, I began to see reasons to write and I began to recognize things in my writing that made sense and reflected what’s going on. That gave me a reason to finish.” A simple one-verse, one-chorus song, “The Things We Do to Each Other” offers a prescient observation. “Fear is not so far from hate, so if you get the folks to fear, it only takes one small twist to kick it up a gear,” lead singer Mar-

go Timmins (Michael’s sister) croons. “You can control hate, but only for so long.” A video by young filmmaker Evan Cameron powerfully brings the track to life. In it, cable news footage of riots, burning cars and Kevlar-clad security forces mingles with other disruptive images: sign-waving protesters, iPhone documentarians. A child clicks through the mayhem on a ViewMaster and withdraws until adults coax him back with beautiful visions of people helping people, a sunrise, activist Malala Yousafzai. A sign saying “Missing Boy Found” closes the clip. “It ends positively. ... That’s a big part of it,” Timmins said, noting that the band had no role in the video beyond giving it a green light. “The idea of the song is the things we do to each other can be pretty nasty but they can also be pretty great. That’s the other side of it.” There’s another reckoning reflected in the record’s title. “You reach a point in life where you have to be concerned about who you are and where you are; that’s the personal side of it,” Timmins said. “My kids are leaving home, I’m getting up there in age. It’s time to reassess where you are and assumptions you once made. Once you start to reassess them, they aren’t necessarily true any more.” At this point, the personal and political converge. “That’s what’s happening in our society right now.

BEACH BUM FUN HOROSCOPES By Holly, The Seacoast Area's Leading Astrologer

Smoky Quartz Distillery 894 Lafayette Road (Rte. 1) Seabrook, NH 03874

(603) 474-4229 • smokyqd.com facebook.com/smokyquartzdistillery Located on Route 1 in Seabrook, NH. We are an artisan ‘grain to glass’ craft distillery using only the highest quality ingredients to distill truly exceptional “Small Batch” spirits.

• Aries (March 21-April 19): No one should judge you until they’ve walked a mile in your shoes. Still, can’t you get some heels that are a little more fashionable? • Taurus (April 20-May 20): Acting impulsively will not solve your problems. Come to think of it, nothing will solve your problems. • Gemini (May 21-June 20): The more you interact with others, the better you will feel about yourself and your life, as long as you can ignore how much better off everyone else is. • Cancer (June 21-July 22): If you

believe in what you’re doing, keep going. And if you don’t believe in what you’re doing, go into investment banking. • Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Handle someone’s threats by saying no and walking away. That is, if you haven’t had your legs broken yet. • Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today you make a great first impression. Unfortunately, it’s at a meeting of the local Liars Club. • Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Love is in the stars. Too bad the forecast calls for heavy overcast every day this week. • Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Remember that old saying, “the more, the merrier”? They weren’t talking about your bedbug problem. • Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): For just one week I’d like to trade places with the guy who writes the crossword. • Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): We interrupt this horoscope for our July pledge drive. Call now and make your contribution to this horoscope writer. • Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): So many people owe so much to all you’ve done. Funny how I can’t think of a single one right now. • Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Your lack of patience will lead to something very surprising, which I’ll tell you all about next week.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Karma

Walt Dean King, 69, just wanted to take a look at a used car for sale on July 4. But when he approached the vehicle in the small California town of Tracy, about 60 miles east of San Francisco, he was suddenly knocked off his feet by a bull that had gotten loose. King felt the bull’s horn go through his side and crawled between a bush and a house as the bull stood over him snorting for about 20 minutes. FOX40 reported that King underwent three hours of surgery, after which doctors told him his belly fat had saved him from worse injury. King believes karma kept him alive: “Back in the ‘70s, I had pulled a lady out of a burning building, so now I think I’m being paid back, by not dying,” King said.

Too much time

• Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who have made their fortunes in tech-related fields have discovered a spiritually enriching new guru, Jess Magic, a ukulele player and singer who calls herself a “heartist.” At Magic’s intimate, invitation-only “Soul Salons” (and now on a 10-city national tour), participants share their energy and join in “songversations” — philosophical rap and improvised music and dance — a process Magic calls “a play date for your inner child.” Andrew Hewitt, creator of Game Changers 500, explains: “For people who live most of the time in their head, this feels like magic.” The New York Times reported that Magic believes her appeal is in response to the spiritual hollowness wealthy executives feel. “People forget that they are human beings rather than human doings,” she said. • Patriotism inspired Rain Wiggand, 22, and Zane Liles, 21, of Collins, Ohio, to construct an American flag using more than 2,000 Budweiser, Bud Light and Miller Lite beer cans. Wiggand posted pictures of the “beer flag” on Twitter on July 4. “It was a rough month of work for Zane and I,” Wiggand confessed, adding that they “averaged somewhere around 14 beers a night for 28 days straight.” Six other friends helped, he said, but they only drank on Thursdays to Sundays. Liles told BuzzFeed News, “It was a monthlong hangover that nothing could cure.” However, he said the project had not ruined beer for him. “I can still drink beer with the best of them.”

Cultural diversity

In Ghana, the reaction of mourners at a funeral is a measure of the deceased’s position in the community. But for family members who are unable to express their emotions openly, professional mourners will cry on their behalf. A leader of one team of criers told BBC Africa in July that they charge based on the size of the funeral, and the Kumasi Funeral Criers Association offers different styles of crying, such as crying with swagg, crying and rolling on the ground, and crying and vom-

iting. Ghanian funerals also feature dancing tors he was robbed in June of about $722 pallbearers and giant billboards to announce (proceeds from the sale of his motorbike) by the funeral arrangements. muggers who attacked him and knocked him out.

Oops!

Finished with her shopping at the Cornwall, Ontario, Canada, Walmart in late June, an unnamed woman returned to the parking lot and drove off in the black rental car she had just picked up. Two weeks later, when she returned the car to the rental agency, she complained about the car’s messy condition and the set of golf clubs left in it. Nation Valley News reported the “slightly confused” manager informed her the car she had rented was a Nissan Sentra, but the car she returned was an Infiniti. Sure enough, the Infiniti owner had reported his car stolen from the Walmart parking lot, and when the woman and the agency manager returned to the lot, the Nissan was still parked there. The Infiniti owner got his car back, the woman was a “wee bit embarrassed,” and the Cornwall Community Police Service reported on July 8 that there was a “happy and funny ending to the story.” They also urged citizens to “not leave your key fobs in your vehicle when not being operated.” Visit newsoftheweird.com.

Weird science

If summer’s heat is making you anxious about body odor, you might want to investigate a helpful gadget launched on July 1 by Japanese health tech company Tanita: the ES-100, an odor-sensing device that will detect body odor or too much perfume or cologne. IT Media reported that the user simply points the sensor toward the underarm area (or other problematic spots), and in 10 seconds a numerical score will appear on the LED display. If you’re a 10 ... you’re not a 10.

Compelling explanations

• In Madison, Wisconsin, an unidentified 19-year-old driver flipped his car after overcorrecting in traffic on July 3. The Wisconsin State Journal reported that the man left the scene and removed some clothing, then pretended to be a jogger who happened by when police questioned him. Police said he was not impaired; he was later charged with leaving a crash scene and driving without a license. • A 62-year-old security guard named Ramdin in the city of Kanpur, India, told doc-

PET OF THE WEEK Skyler is an underdog. She gets a lot of interest from potential adopters at first (seriously, look at that face), but people quickly move on when they learn she’s a senior and that she doesn’t get along with other dogs. She’s an eight-year-old people-loving lab mix looking for a home populated by folks with kind hearts. This dog deserves no less. Skyler may be a senior, but there is lots of spunk left in those bones. Despite this dog’s homelessness, Skyler is a happy dog and a terrific companion that simply wants to be your one and only. Like all the animals available for adoption at the New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham, Skyler is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on all her shots. To see Skyler and other animals available for adoption, visit nhspca.org.
