the show. Every Wednesday night there are fireworks; they start at 9:30 and go off on the beach between B & C Street. Both of these are really great to attend and continue throughout the summer until Labor Day. One last thing, don’t forget the concerts that go on at the Sea Shell Stage every night (see this week’s lineup on p. 4). There is still plenty of summer left at the beach!

12 spots The Seacoast is home to countless breathtaking and historical landmarks. Whether you live locally and want to better appreciate your home or you’re a visitor looking for a few places to check out, here are 12 of the area’s must-see spots.

1. LOWELL’S BOAT SHOP

459 Main St, Amesbury, Mass., 978-8340050, lowellsboatshop.com Amesbury lays claim to the oldest continually operating boat shop in America. Lowell’s Boat Shop has been crafting vessels dedicated to fishing and transportation through the rough surf found along the beaches in the area ever since 1793. The

family business started with founder Simeon Lowell and, according to the shop’s website, is known as the birthplace of the American dory. Lowell’s grandson Hiram built what is now the oldest building remaining on the property and is thought to have brought the dory business to an all-time peak, shipping and producing thousands of boats annually throughout the country in the later half of the 1900s, according to the website. Lowell’s Boat Shop was declared a national landmark in 1990, according to Graham McKay, master builder and executive director of Lowell’s Boat Shop. The site has since been converted into a

working museum. “We still build boats for customers but we do it in a museum setting, and so when people come in to visit they come in to a working boat shop and can see us building boats,” McKay said. He said they also offer several education programs. “People can take classes here on how to build boats, [and] we have a bunch of youth programs now. We teach young apprentices how to build,” he said. “And so today we really are a three-pronged trident of museum, active boat building and education programs.” The museum and boat shop offers

classes in traditional dory building, basic woodworking and tool use, painting and varnishing and more, as well as an apprenticeship program to complete the construction of a haven ship. “The preservation of these skills, I think, is important because it’s American ingenuity really that has made this place what it is,” said McKay. “When you take a kid and you show them something really complicated and beautiful and have them put it together, it’s a huge confidence-builder for them. Maybe now they go out and take on some project that they saw as unattainable to them the week before. Teaching them that is going to car- 7

2. PLUM ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE

80th St., Newburyport, 978-973-6935 In 1788, a station was established off Plum Island along Ipswitch Bay to help guide boaters back to shore and into the mouth of the Merrimack River. Plum Island Lighthouse itself was constructed in 1898 and converted to an automated system in 1951 and is made out of wood standing 50 feet in height, said Linda Collins, a member of the volunteer group Friends of Plum Island Lighthouse. Along its original construction, the structure was the thirteenth lighthouse built in the United States. Since the lighthouse’s transition to automation it has been under the jurisdiction of the volunteer group Friends of Plum Island Lighthouse for upkeep of this historical landmark and is owned by the Town of Newburyport. “It’s a national landmark. It needs to be preserved and it’s run totally by volunteers. One of the founders of the Friends was my best friend and she was raised here. She was a member of a fishing family so she had all that Plum Island dedication and commitment and honor so it was absolutely infectious for all of the volunteers,” said Collins. “We try to make it an educational spot for children and adults and visitors. We have a copy of the actual document from George Washington dedicating the lighthouse in the house itself. On a clear day you can see all the way to Maine, the Isles of Shoals, Cape Ann, so it is an amazing panoramic view.” The Plum Island Lighthouse is still in use to this day and visitors are welcome to explore the surrounding grounds, although the lighthouse is occasionally opened to the public on summer weekends. “It is still an aid to navigation, it may not be forev-

er but for now it still continues to be an aid for navigation. So many lighthouses have actually been decommissioned throughout the country so this one has the appeal that it is still a working light and you can get to the top on the days that it is open or you can schedule a private tour,” said Collins. Information about upcoming open houses can be found by calling 978-973-6935.

3. ODIORNE POINT STATE PARK

570 Ocean Boulevard, Rye, 603-436-8043 The Seacoast is home to an abundance of state parks, including Hampton, North Hampton and Rye Harbor state parks. One standout is Odiorne Point in Rye, which is also home to the Seacoast Science Center. Found at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, this woodsy landmark is met with a rocky shoreline where visitors can spend time picnicking, tidepooling and hiking through an extensive network of trails leading to abandoned military bases. “Odiorne is a spectacular park on the coast with extensive open ocean and estuarine shoreline,” said Jim Chase, the president at the Seacoast Science Center. Odiorne Point spans 135 acres of diverse preserved land that provides opportunities for boating or fishing in the warmer months, as well as skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. The park charges $4 for adults and $2 for children between the ages of 6 and 11. According to Chase, “Odiorne itself has a really long cultural history,” and the Seacoast Science Center offers information about that as well as the area’s natural environment. “We can tell stories of the natural history of the terrestrial environment here in the park,” Chase said. “There are seven distinct habitats in the park that we talk about and Featuring the work of local artists, Monday-Saturday Sunday authors and artisans.11:00-5:00 Located at •the that’s a great backdrop.

7 stories of how people interacted with that since the first settlement back in 1623.” Various events and programs are held throughout the year in an attempt to “really inspire conservation of our blue planet. We do that through education, exhibits and offering people experiences, and provide people with first-hand contact with the natural environment and the ocean along the Gulf of Maine,” said Chase. The Science Center charges $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and military members and $5 for children between the ages of 3 and 12. “I think what makes [Odiorne] a feature destination is the combination of the fabulous natural resource and recreational resource that is the park and our contribution to that, which is educational and experiential that adds a layer of depth to the park experience in addition to the path of recreation, which Odiorne is an excellent location for,” said Chase.

4. THE ISLES OF SHOALS

Six miles off the coast of New England sits a cluster of nine rocky islands straddling the New Hampshire and Maine territorial boundary known as the Isles of Shoals. Named and first fully colonized by Captain John Smith, the islands were mostly used as fishing bases as a result of their rocky makeup. To this day, there are no full-time inhabitants on any of the islands, but instead they act as home to the Oceanic Hotel, the White Island Light, a handful of summer houses and the Shoals Marine Research Laboratory. While nearly all of the islands are privately owned, Star Island is publicly available from June to September and is home to a rich history ever since its colonization in the 1600s as being the busiest

fishing port on the East Coast, according to starisland.org. The island is owned and operated by the nonprofit Star Island Corporation and is home to the Oceanic Hotel. “They have a lot of history out there, that’s why a lot of people like to go out, but for a lot of the people who go out every year for conferences the island acts as their second home and their summer place to go. Running on island time is a big thing that happens out there; it really does have a whole different feel,” said an employee for the Isles of Shoals Steamship Co. who wished to remain anonymous. “There’s the big Oceanic Hotel, and that’s where a lot of the conferences go to stay. They also have canoes that you can rent out there and we offer a narrated walking tour that you can choose to participate in.”

5. ATLANTIC CABLE STATION AND SUNKEN FOREST

East side of Route 1A at Jenness Beach, Rye Rye’s Jenness Beach hides a secret past dating back to the ice age that is only visible during extremely low tides. Much speculation remains about the area but the undoubtable truth is that below the waters of the Atlantic Ocean at the northeast edge of Jenness Beach lies a sunken forest that shows no sign of ever being there as far back as the colonial period. Sections of what is left of these stumped trees measure over 10 feet in circumference, indicating that at one point there was a booming forest where now only ocean is found, according to the Mother Nature Network. Tangled amongst these sunken roots are the remnants of a long-forgotten project dating back to the 1870s. In an attempt to further communication between the 10

8 United States and Europe, an idea was hatched to connect the two via a transAtlantic cable. After many attempts and many failures, and because of the the invention of the telephone, the project was later abandoned. This first attempt at connecting direct communications between the United States and the United Kingdom now rests beneath the waters along the Rye coastline. This hidden landmark is only recognizable by the small green sign reading “Atlantic Cable Station and Sunken Forest. The receiving station for the first Atlantic cable, laid in 1874, is located on Old Beach Road opposite this location. The remains of the Sunken Forest (remnants of the Ice Age) may be seen at low tide. Intermingled with these gnarled stumps is the original Atlantic cable.” The last time the tide was low enough for these hidden treasures to be visible was in 2010, according to Mother Nature Network.

169 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton, 603-929-4100 Along the boardwalk parallel to Hampton Beach is the Hampton Beach Casino and Casino Ballroom. According to the Hampton Casino Ballroom website, the structure that still hosts the bustling beachgoers today was originally constructed and opened in the summer of 1899 by Wallace D. Lovell and has acted as the heart of the bustling beach town ever since. “The casino is an important fixture on the beach because it was one of the first buildings built by the Exeter, Hampton and Amesbury Street Railway Company and it was sort of like if you build it, they will come,” said Betty Moore, the executive director of the Tuck Museum and the Hampton Historical Society. “Up until that point, Hampton Beach was really a barrier reef. Most of the development of the beach stopped at Great Boar’s Head so this was

really important as far as developing the business and the commerce at the beach.” The Hampton Beach Casino has seen a few facelifts throughout the years and now is home to a live music and comedy hall that hosts up to 70 shows every summer, specialty shops, restaurants, arcades, gambling halls and various other entertainment options for a wide variety of beachgoers. “It’s quite a draw to the beach itself. Just by the nature of where it is located and the fact that it is in the center of the main beach strip, and being right across from the Seashell Stage, it has a great restaurant associated with it, it ends up being a very big draw,” said Moore.

7. PORTSMOUTH MEMORIAL BRIDGE

Route 1 over the Piscataqua River between Portsmouth and Badger’s Island in Kittery, Maine Bridging the gap of the Piscataqua River between Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Maine’s Badger’s Island and Kittery is the architecturally magnificent Portsmouth Memorial Bridge, also known as the World War I Memorial Bridge. The bridge was officially opened in 2013 and replaced the similar-looking bridge of the same name that served from 1923 to 2012, according to Elizabeth Muzzey, the director of the Division of Historical Resources and State Historic Preservation Office. “In the discussions that I was present at with the community there was a desire not to replicate the Memorial Bridge, but they wanted a bridge that was reminiscent of the skyline of the old bridge and that also would be compatible with the setting that people grew up with around the bridge since the 1920s,” said Muzzey. “The engineering of the new bridge, although it looks similar to the original, is really a product of its own time and will be significant in the 12 years ahead.”

10 During the summer, the vertical lift bridge partially raises for 15 minutes every half-hour between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. to allow any smaller boat traffic to pass underneath. The bridge may also fully raise to allow larger vessels to pass underneath with proper notice. The Portsmouth side of the bridge has a sign stating “Memorial to the Sailors and Soldiers of New Hampshire who gave their lives in the World War 1917-1919.” The original World War I Bridge was demolished on Feb. 8, 2012, and was the first modern free operable bridge linking New Hampshire and Maine along the U.S. Route 1 Coastal Highway. The original bridge was one of the largest vertical lift bridges made at its time of construction and was designed by renowned engineer J. A. L. Waddell, who held patents to a number of components used in the construction of the bridge, Muzzey said, and was the first major vertical lift bridge in the eastern United States. At the time of its dedication in 1923, it had the longest lift span in the country at 297 feet and served as a prototype for all later vertical bridges that followed. Sections of the original bridge can now be found as a memorial statue at the Portsmouth Veterans Memorial. What is so significant about the bridge today is the design, which with two towering lifts that help to elevate a significant section of the bridge to allow the passing of larger boats makes the bridge architecturally recognizable, according to Muzzey. “You can drive around portions of Portsmouth at various points all throughout the south end of town and you can see the towers of the bridge from so much of downtown Portsmouth,” she said. “Just to be a pedestrian or a bystander watching as

the lift goes up and you see the tremendously large ships go through, that is such a unique experience that you don’t typically get to see in such close proximity.”

8. PORTSMOUTH MEMORIAL PARK

Found in the shadow of the Memorial Bridge, 603-610-7202 In correlation with the World War I Memorial Bridge, Veterans Day 2013 marked the opening day of the Portsmouth Veterans Memorial found in the Portsmouth side’s shadow of the historic overpass. The grounds are marked with bricks featuring the names of local veterans and a stack of granite blocks that supported the original Memorial Bridge. A plaque reading “Portsmouth Memorial Park. Dedicated November 2013. Displayed at the center of this memorial, are the granite foundation abutments that supported the Memorial Bridge for eighty-eight years. Memorializing the past, present and future, these blocks now symbolize the strength of the heroic souls of the men and women who have courageously served our country and bravely risked their lives to protect our way of life. -J.W. Teetzel” memorializes the property. Portsmouth residents Jim and Laurie Teetzel pushed the creation of the park with a $25,000 donation to help build the memorial, according to the City of Portsmouth.

This AAA Four-Diamond hotel and spa was first constructed in the 1870s and features 161 rooms and suites throughout the triplespired towers of the resort, according to the hotel’s website. The resort underwent a $30 million restoration in 2003 and holds within its walls four separate dining services and restaurants, a spa, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, gardens and tennis courts. Throughout its over 140-year history, the hotel has hosted weddings, conferences — and the signing of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, which helped grant President Theodore Roosevelt the Nobel Peace Prize, according to Historic Hotels of America. “The signing was done over in the shipyard but of course everyone stayed here. A lot of the brainstorming, a lot of the drafting happened here,” said Jason Bartlett, the general manager of the Wentworth. The hotel nearly met its demise in the 1980s after falling on hard times and being under threat of demolition and was the first hotel to be featured on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s list of 11 MostEndangered Places in 1996, according to Historic Hotels of America, but has since recovered and is now considered one of the most pristine hotels in the Seacoast area. “New Castle is a very tight, passionate community. A lot of the people obviously hated seeing the hotel decay over the years so as we brought it back and it started to bustle, certainly the community really enjoys it,” said Bartlett. “I think and hope all the residents are happy to have us here.” “When its state was uncertain, one of the key things was a group of local townspeople, the Friends of Wentworth, that made sure that it was saved. It was really their efforts that kept it alive,” said New Castle town historian Jim Cerny.

10. USS ALBACORE MUSEUM

600 Market St., Portsmouth, 603-436-3680 The USS Albacore was once a United States Navy research submarine that helped test equipment that would be used on future submersible crafts for later excursions, including top-secret features that helped develop high-speed silent operation used on modern U.S. submarines today. Now, the historic vessel’s final resting place is at 600 Market St. in Portsmouth, where it is preserved as an interactive museum. “Its design was an engineering marvel, in fact it’s a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark,” said John Maier, interim director of the USS Albacore Museum. “Its design made it so it could travel quickly under water … [it] was built, the first of its kind, in a teardrop shape and its model has always been the forerunner of the future, and the engineering that went into the design of this submarine led to all submarines in the future around the world following the same design.” Visitors are allowed inside the Albacore to explore the confines of a submarine that helped shape modern-day deep sea vessels. Within AGSS-569 visitors can look down the operational periscope and explore the control room, engineering spaces and bunkroom while listening to audio of crewmembers telling tales of what life was like living on the ship while it was in commision. Also located on the grounds of the museum are a gift shop and a memorial garden created in honor of those who served on the USS Albacore and other United States submarines. “As you can well imagine, submariners don’t have any graves. Their graves are in the ocean, so our monuments are really 14 their cemetary,” said Maier.

The museum is open daily between 13 the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and tickets cost $8 for adults, $3 for children under 17, and $16 for a two-adult twochildren family pass with each extra child costing an extra $1. “It gives people an idea of the strength of our American submarine force and our innovations. People can see our Albacore and see our explorations underwater and our explorations that have led to our improved defenses of our country,” said Maier.

14 Hancock St., Portsmouth, 603-433-1100 At the center of Portsmouth lies the historic Strawbery Banke. The museum is a 10-acre living, breathing piece of history dedicated to recreating and educating the public about the over 300-year history of Portsmouth. Stepping through the entrance of Strawbery Banke is meant to feel like stepping back in time, according to Stephanie Seacord, the director of marketing at Strawbery Banke. “Strawbery Banke Museum is a living history museum in the middle of downtown Portsmouth. … Portsmouth is a city known for being a historic destination,” said Seacord. “It literally brings history to life and the people who think that history is dusty cases and bor- Strawbery Banke Museum. Banke Museum. ing books discover that it’s actually the stories of their own families. That’s where it’s most vivid.” Join professional costumed reenactors and wander the 30-plus historic homes and buildings exploring the essence of Seacoast life back in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Walk the 300-plus years of history through the open streets and wander throughout a historically accurate town and experience life as it was during the founding years of the United States.

“You ... get to meet people from the past. It’s like time traveling through 300 years of history so you get some perspective and you can get some depth on things that you’re not really all that clear about,” said Seacord. “We have a 10-acre campus with 32 buildings, eight gardens, costumed role-players, traditional crafts people doing demonstrations and some hands-on thing. We tell the story of Portsmouth in this specific neighborhood from 1695 to 1955. Our role-players are portraying real people who lived in this neighborhood.” The Strawbery Banke Museum gained national accreditation in 1975 on the National Register of Historic Places and hosts annual events such as a week-long Independence Day celebration, a fall festival, winter candlelight strolls and more, according to the museum website. “We are a place to learn, a place to gather and a sustainable resource for the community. From Photo courtesy of Strawbery the perspective of the people living in Portsmouth and along the Seacoast, we are a gorgeous green space that is a repository of our own stories, our own history,” Seacord said. “We’re a valuable resource for the community from the historical perspective, but also because it’s a beautiful and safe place to walk around and experience the seasons.” General admission costs $19.50 for adults and $9 for children between the ages of 5 and 17.

WILLIAM J. EDWARDS SEABROOK FIRE DEPARTMENT CHIEF

General Store Groceries | Sundries Freshly Made Pizza Full Deli | Beer & Wine Fine Cigars | Cigarettes

What is your role at the Seabrook Fire Department? How long have you been there? I am the fire chief. I have been the fire chief since January 1, 2015, and fulltime in Seabrook since March 2006. I was appointed to call and reserve with Seabrook in April 2004.

We Deliver 7 Days!

Talk about the department’s recent recognition by Portsmouth Hospital. How great is it to receive such recognition? It was a great recognition for the department and for the town. We were excited to get the news. It is good to have some positives like that. Most of what we deal with in EMS is people at the worst and a lot of gloom and doom.

What interested you about becoming a fireman? For me it was the other firefighters and the fact that every day and shift is different. When you’re are part of a group like a fire department, you’re on a team. We get to know each other pretty good. We probably see each other more than we see our spouses. We become a tight family. The day to day is never the same. We see different types of calls that challenge you. Sometimes, it’s just trying to get someone out of their home, while other times it’s how to best extinguish a structure fire. What is the most challenging part of your job? One of the challenges I face is balancing the budget of the fire department with the safety of the community. The town is changing and growing. The volume of calls is increasing each year — and we need to maintain the same high level of services for our residents, so balancing the budget is a challenge. We are always working to find new ways to provide services that does not directly cost the taxpayers more money.

How busy does it get during the summer? How many calls do you get on an average day? Seabrook is different from other towns along the Seacoast. We do see a small uptick in call volume June to August, but with Seabrook’s commercial growth the last 15 years we have become a destination community. People travel from all over to come to our shopping malls and beach-

es, for example — not to mention we are the first town in New Hampshire along the Route 95 corridor, so a lot of Massachusetts residents come here for the tax breaks New Hampshire offers. We see a large influx of out-of-state consumers, which adds to the burden the department faces. More people equal more calls for service. What don’t people know about what you do? What do fire departments do that maybe people really don’t know about? I think in general fire departments and firefighters are community-driven people. They enjoy doing things for others. I think the public sees at certain times of year the fire department is out doing volunteer work, raising money for various causes, holding events. I think at times it goes unnoticed how much time and effort goes into the planning and running of those events. Our department spends weeks to months before every large event we do preparing for it — that takes a lot of manhours to set up and complete. What is the most gratifying part of your job? The most gratifying part of my job is working through the day-to-day issues that arise. Being able to help facilitate positive outcomes. Whether it is issues internally, finding middle ground on budgetary needs, or anything that helps move the ball for-

ward for the department and the safety of the town is very gratifying.

When not working, what are your hobbies? What do you do for fun? My hobbies mostly revolve around my kids and their interests — whether it is softball, tee-ball, snowmobiling, fourwheeling, camping, or just hanging out together. I do run a small business outside of the fire department, so between that and my kids I have a full table outside of the fire department.

What is your favorite part about Seabrook and the Seacoast? I really like the changing seasons, I like winter and winter activities, so it’s nice that in New Hampshire we get to see all four seasons. Seabrook in particular is great because we have changed as a town, but there is still a lot of the small-town roots that make the town unique. — Rob Levey

ADVENTURE

Andrew’s

Adventure By Andrew Clay Where I went: The Smuttynose Brewing Co. campus, 105 Towle Farm Road, Hampton, smuttynose.com, 436-4026 What it is: The Smuttynose campus is, above all else, home to one of the more popular breweries and beer manufacturers along the Seacoast. The brewery offers free tours and beer education, as well as four sample tastings for $4. The Smuttynose grounds are also home to the Hayseed Restaurant, a beautiful and expansive beer garden, a disc golf course and a retail store. What I did: I was asked to be a judge at an in-house brewing competition where Smuttynose employees were split into 10 different teams and asked, over the course of a month, to devise their own signature beverage and labels in a kind-hearted company-wide competition. With a limited knowledge of the complex process of brewing beer,

but an open mind and thirsty palate, I eagerly accepted the invitation not for the sake of tasting a wide variety of new drinks but for the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the inner workings of a company that I have heard so much about, and for the opportunity to spend some quality time adventuring around the Smuttynose campus and exploring the location for more than what can be found on the local grocer’s beer shelf. When I first arrived at the Smuttynose grounds, I was taken to the tent set up in the expansive grounds behind the brewery where the company typically hosts larger events like music festivals and various competitions held throughout the year. The event was catered by their own Hayseed Restaurant, located across the parking lot from the brewery, which just released their new and renovated menu focused heavily around their new smoker, and I was eager to try the various smoked porks provided. My eagerness was met with one of the best bites of pulled pork that I have tasted in a long time. The tender, meltin-your-mouth meat was complemented by the hand-picked selections of housemade sauces provided by the Hayseed, and paired perfectly with the beverages provided by the brewery across the street, something that Hayseed General Manager Darren Hatt strives for, noting that above all else this is a brewery and

that the restaurant goes out of its way to create foods that pair well with the beer. That it most certainly does. One key thing that I was struck by was the work-hard play-hard environment of the event and of the company itself. When the teams weren’t trashtalking their recipes that they worked so hard on creating over the last month, they — and I — were enjoying the abundance of yard games provided by a brewery that strives for that sense of relaxation and being a place of escape. Kan Jam, cornhole, and the disc golf course all provided a getaway so the employees could enjoy their day off, which rounds out the vibe that they helped provide to myself as well as any customers who enter their facility, that of being a place of escape and an opportunity to “just chill” after a long week of work. From enjoying the abundance of yard games always scattered along the stunningly beautiful property, to sampling delicious beers and foods provided by the Hayseed and Smuttynose itself, my time at the brewery was met with the openness of employees who made me feel at home in a place where I knew nobody. Despite its being their day off, the employees ensured that I too was immersed with this “chill” vibe as I enjoyed delicious food, amazing beer and even better company. Who would enjoy this: The Smuttynose campus is the perfect getaway for anybody looking for a place to relax and unwind after a long week. With an extensive property, this place is made for more than just beer. With a state-of-

the-art disc golf course, a beautiful beer garden, a restaurant serving delicious food and enough yard games to keep anyone occupied for hours on end, you don’t have to be a beer-lover to enjoy a trip to the Smuttynose Brewery. Bring your dogs, bring your kids and be ready for some relaxation. Know someone awesome? If you know someone in the community who is doing great things, the Scene wants to know!

Waste away again in Margaritaville at the Salisbury Blue Ocean Music Hall’s ninth annual Buffett Beach Blast. Join Changes in Latitudes, one of the country’s premier nationally acclaimed Jimmy Buffett tribute bands, Friday, July 27, at 8 p.m. for an authentic Coral Reefer Band and Jimmy Buffett experience. “We really love the Blue Ocean,” said lead singer and band founder Steve Kareta. “We’ve played there for a bunch of years; the folks there at the Blue Ocean and the Salisbury Beach Partnership take really good care of us. They also make it a whole event, which we found really works well with the Buffett thing.” The show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 to $30. Bring a grill, find that lost shaker of salt and whip up a cheeseburger in paradise at the tailgate party in the parking lot adjacent to the music hall. Parking costs $15 per car and, according to Kareta, offers the most authentic Jimmy Buffet experience. “The parrothead scene is much like Halloween. People love dressing up, people love being given a reason to party. We give them something to run with, and people take it to the extreme,” Kareta said. “We always roam around the tailgate and try to visit and see what’s going on and partake a little bit. We enjoy hanging with our fans so we’ll definitely go out and roam the tailgate before the show. It really is one of the most authentic shows we do of the year in terms of the whole Jimmy Buffett parrothead vibe.” Kareta, a long-time parrothead, would spend time traveling the country attending Buffett concerts until a drunken suggestion at a friend’s wedding party 17 years ago sparked the inspiration for Changes in Latitudes, named after the popular Buffett song. “I just brought my acoustic guitar and was playing at his party and in his drunken wis-

dom my buddy Tommy came over and said, ‘Hey, you kind of look like Buffett and you kind of sound like him’ and the rest is history,” said Kareta. Since then, Changes in Latitudes has gone on to become one of the premier Buffett tribute bands in the country, having performed along with members of the Coral Reefer Band itself, and in venues including the Disney cruise ships Magic and Wonder, at the National Hamburger Festival in Akron, Ohio, and more. Kareta and Changes in Latitudes practice a laid-back, casual demeanor similar to Buffett himself, and with 17 years’ experience this attitude provides the most realistic and authentic tropical Coral Reefer Band experience possible. Flexibility and a large catalog of songs for any situation is something that Changes in Latitudes prides itself on, according to Kareta. “We always just aim to have a good time. I haven’t quite decided what we’re going to throw in for the gems,” Kareta said. “Sometimes I surprise the band at the show and say, ‘Oh, let’s do this, we haven’t done this one in eight years.’ Sometimes I won’t know what the surprise is going to be until somebody in the audience goes, ‘Hey, can you guys play…’ and we go, ‘Sure we can, ready, go.’” Kareta said the band can’t wait to party with the crowd. “There will be cars with big huge shark fins duct taped to the top, and guys wearing the grass skirts with the coconut bras,” he said. “Everybody will have their tents set up in the parking lot decorated like a tiki bar and everybody tries to outdo the drink concoction or the cheeseburger combinations. It really is an excuse to get dressed up and people love being given a reason to party. … We have as much of a good time in Salisbury as the fans do.” — Andrew Clay

The tradition of the Miss Hampton Beach pageant has been around for even longer than its official 72 years — about 100 years, according to Stephanie Lussier, the director of the event. Before “Miss Hampton Beach” was an official, registered title, the winner was more like a carnival queen, someone who sold the most tickets to a dance or carnival. Since then the competition winner has evolved to the title of Miss Hampton Beach that is used today. “I’m looking for a spokesperson for Hampton Beach and the Seacoast area,” Lussier said. “Someone who loves the beach and wants to promote it.” On Sunday, July 29, young women from ages 16 to 24 will compete for the official title of Miss Hampton Beach, seeking the opportunity to be the beach’s representative for the next year. The day before the main event, on Saturday, July 28, winners will be chosen at the 11th Little Miss Hampton Beach, ages 5 to 9, and Junior Miss Hampton Beach, ages 10 to 15. The contestants will be assessed by a panel of four or five judges. A majority of the judges will have some knowledge about performing, some being former pageant winners themselves, and one will be completely removed from the pageant world, usually a local business owner, to round out the group. The young women are judged in multiple categories before the official winner is announced. First, all contestants participate in a five-minute interview with the panel of judges, answering questions from their application or about the beach. In the afternoon, on the pageant stage, they will then compete in a one-piece swimsuit and in evening wear. The scores from these categories will be added up, and the five top-scoring participants will be invited on to the stage to answer one more question, after which the final winner will be chosen.

“We include this final part of the competition because if you win, that’s what you’d be doing all year — being a representative and speaking on the stage or at different events,” Lussier said. The subject of this on-stage question varies from year to year, according to the director, but it will always be related to the beach. Subjects of discussion tend to reflect the community trends of the year, Lussier said. Topics have ranged from maintaining the cleanliness of the beach to adding gambling on the beach to making the beach friendlier for families. “The girls’ views of the beach might change slightly each year, but the basics of the competition overall don’t change,” said Lussier. One thing that Lussier can always depend on is dedicated audience members who are invested in the tradition of the pageant. The director, who won the pageant herself in 1995, explained that the event always attracts former participants, some who competed in the pageant in the ’50s and ’60s, as well as family members of current and former participants. Participants in the pageant are not restricted to the Hampton area, so audience members come from all over, joining with locals in celebration of a

continued tradition that values being open to all. “The tourism at Hampton Beach and the use of that stage is for everyone,” said Lussier, “and it should be inclusive to anyone who wants to enter or be a part of it.” Not only is the event positive for pageant participants and winners, but it is positive for the community as a whole. “I think the Hampton community loves that it is part of this tradition, that they own it, they promote it, they have their own queen that is part of the area, that it shows history and time,” Lussier said. The director emphasized that the event is a unique opportunity for kids who might never be able to see Miss America or Miss USA, but they can see Miss Hampton Beach get crowned and be a part of a tradition that’s been around for over 70 years. Lussier’s hope is that this event, while contributing to the larger Hampton community, will encourage female empowerment as well. “Pageantry for me is hugely empowering,” Lussier said. “It’s a great outlet for women; it’s like a sorority, a group of girls that get involved in something that teaches sportsmanship, public speaking, interview skills and making friendships — we always work together.” — Rebecca Walker

CAR TALK

Series-hybrid purist searches for car Dear Car Talk: I am very interested in electric vehicles, but I am concerned about their range. Why can’t there be a charging system on board that continBy Ray Magliozzi uously charges the battery? All that would be needed is a small gas-powered motor to operate an alternator. I understand that the Chevrolet Volt comes close to this kind of system, but at a certain speed there is a gas-powered motor that will also send power to the wheels. So the Volt is not 100 percent electric but a form of a hybrid. — George The Volt is pretty close to what you’re talking about, George. And it works wonderfully. The car gets 50-plus miles on electricity alone. That’s enough to cover the daily driving for a huge percentage of our population. And if you need to go farther than that before recharging, the gasoline engine comes on and makes more electricity. You’re right that the gasoline engine can also contribute to propulsion when needed (like when climbing a hill or pass-

ing), but we don’t see that as a downside. However, if you want the exact system you describe (called a “series-hybrid”), then you want a BMW i3 with what they call a Range Extender. The Range Extender is a two cylinder gasoline engine that kicks in when you run out of battery power, and provides electricity to get you another 65 miles or so. Personally, I’d take the Volt. The total range of the BMW i3, even with the extender, is only 180 miles. The Volt can go 420 miles with both its battery and gas tank full. Of course, the hope (and we’re starting to see the reality already) is that electric cars will eventually have the range of our current gasoline cars. We’re already seeing electric car ranges of over 200 miles (Tesla, Chevy Bolt, Jaguar I-PACE). And as batteries improve and recharging gets faster, that range should get even longer, and you won’t need no stinkin’ gasoline engine at all, George. But in the meantime, if you want to be a series-hybrid purist, buy an i3. If you want to worry less about range and save $5K-$15K on the purchase price, buy a Volt.

Dear Car Talk: We’re having a problem with our 2008 Honda Fit. The car runs OK, but there is a sloshing noise when we drive. It sounds like some liquid is moving back and forth up front somewhere. Any ideas? — Pat and Catherine Yes. I think there’s some liquid moving back and forth up front somewhere, Pat and Catherine. OK, I’ll try to be a little more helpful than that. There’s water moving around in the air conditioner’s evaporator housing. When you run the air conditioner, moisture is removed from the air. That’s one of the ways the AC makes you feel cooler, by decreasing the humidity. So your car’s AC runs your moist air through this thing called an evaporator. And just like on the outside of a lemonade glass in the summertime, when the hot air from inside your car hits the cold evaporator, the water falls out of it. And then, that water is supposed to drain out under your car. But yours isn’t draining — or it’s draining very slowly. So that water just sits in the evaporator housing, and sloshes around when you drive.

If you accumulate a lot of water in there, it’ll eventually spill out on your feet when you make a sharp turn and soak your $300 Ferragamo loafers. But don’t worry; this problem is very easy to fix. Just have your mechanic clean out the evaporator drain under the car. It’s probably gunked up with the dirt, leaves and dead rodent parts that you’ve been driving over since 2008. We just use our compressed air hose and blow it out. It takes a couple of minutes. If you want to confirm our diagnosis, on the next warm day, turn on your air conditioner, let the car run in your driveway for 10 minutes, and then have a look underneath. If you don’t see a puddle of water, the drain is plugged. If you DO see some water, it’s possible that it’s not draining quickly enough, so you still might want to have it blown out. The alternative explanation is that your sunroof drains are plugged up (if you even have a sunroof). But you’d be more likely to hear that over your head than toward the front of the car, so I’m pretty sure it’s your evaporator drain. Fix it. It’s cheap. Visit Cartalk.com.

AT OLD SALT RESTAURANT With catering, room service, function rooms and more, Old Salt Restaurant (490 Lafayette Road, Hampton) is not just a restaurant. Stop in for their Sunday brunch, which includes such treats as a chocolate fountain and make-your-own omelet and waffle bars. Weekly specials like prime rib and all-you-can-eat fried haddock will keep you coming back for more. Old Salt surely has something for even the pickiest of guests. Executive chef and coowner Mike Higgins sat down with The Scene to chat about the restaurant’s history, why the Seacoast is the perfect location, and how Old Salt allows him to flex his creative muscles. How long has Old Salt Restaurant been around? We started in October 1986, on the beach. There was a big fire in June of ’99 that took out a whole block of Hampton Beach, and we were one of the buildings that burnt down. We spent a couple years trying to rebuild. We found this location uptown, and we bought that. It was just perfect for us — [the building] had so much history, as [did] the restaurant. In between there, for the two- or three-year period before we opened up uptown, we leased the Whale’s Tale restaurant, which is right on the boardwalk. The fire was June 15, right before the season, and we opened up before July 4 at the Whale’s Tale; it was like a week and a half turnaround and we managed to lease and put together an entire staff. What makes Old Salt Restaurant & Lamie’s Inn unique? It’s a great family atmosphere. We’re a family-owned restaurant. We have a huge menu, we have over 120 items on our menu, so we can complement any palate.

Most people come in for seafood, but you know, you always get that one guy who wants steak and one guy who wants seafood. We have everything on our menu. And we give a good, large portion for the money. It’s great, fresh, home-cooked food. We have four different function rooms, do a lot of small parties: birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries. Plus, we do catering! You don’t see too many places that are that full package. We are the only full-service hotel, basically from Portsmouth from Newburyport. There’s nobody on Route 1 that’s a full-service hotel. We do brunch, we do functions, we do buffets. We do catering, we do high-volume, regular restaurant. It’s hard to find that full package. We do quite a bit of [room service], we give them the full [restaurant] menu; if they want a baked, stuffed lobster in their room, they will get it! And we do continental breakfast for the hotel, as well. What is your favorite dish? My favorite dish this time of year would be a warm buttered lobster roll; it’s just absolutely amazing. But most of the time

I’m a steak eater, so I would go for the New York sirloin. Or prime rib, which is on select nights, one of our specials on the weekends. My wife loves seafood, so she’s always going for the grilled swordfish or salmon. What is a dish everyone should try? Our fish and chips is one of our most popular items, We do a fish fry all-youcan-eat on Fridays, we’ve been doing that for 30 years now. That is fried, big chunks of fresh haddock, [with] french fries and coleslaw. That’s one of the most popular items on our menu. We [also] do a Sunday brunch that is just absolutely amazing, and it’s pretty close to being reservation only. We’ll put about 500 people through there every Sunday. There are 18 chafing dishes, half of those are breakfast items, the other half are dinner, entrée-type items. We carve a roast beef, carve a turkey out there, we [also] have a chocolate fountain. They make omelets and waffles to order. There are all kinds of chefs that are working the buffet and the line during brunch.

What is an essential skill to running a restaurant? You need to be a people person, and you need to be able to multitask [and be] able to handle and coordinate, whether it’s the public or the staff. We have 120 staff this time of year, and we just love to serve the public. For me, personally, I love being creative with the specials, creative during brunch, and this is a great opportunity to do that.

What is your favorite part of being on the Seacoast? I love the Seacoast – I love New England, mainly, and the Seacoast. I love the ocean, but I [really] love the seasons. It’s great to have the tourists for a few months, it’s great to have your spring and your fall. I enjoy the winter months with the winter sports. I think that’s the full picture; I don’t think you can get that anywhere else. With the Seacoast, it’s an hour to the city, it’s an hour to the mountains. It’s the perfect location. — Alison Downs

I’ve experimented with various spinach and artichoke dip-inspired dishes before, all to mediocre results. But this chicken recipe proved to have everything I love about spinach and artichoke dip, plus a few extra hints of flavor that went a long way to making this dinner a hit with the entire family. My past attempts at spinach and artichoke dip fare have typically ended up bland and mushy. This recipe, however, seemed to hold all the secrets to a creating a rich and creamy spinach and artichoke mixture that was divine when combined with the chicken and some roasted red peppers. Plus, the mixture was so luscious, and there was extra since I didn’t use the full amount of chicken the recipe called for, so I was able to

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 6 chicken breasts Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper ½ teaspoon dried oregano 3 tablespoons butter 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups baby spinach 1 (13.75-ounce) can artichoke hearts, chopped ½ cup sliced roasted red peppers 1 cup half-and-half ¾ cup shredded mozzarella ¼ cup Parmesan

serve the rest of the mixture over a small bed of spaghetti. I could have eaten the spaghetti and spinach-artichoke sauce sans chicken every day for the rest of the week. This recipe was also incredibly pantryfriendly, calling for dried herbs and several canned ingredients like the artichokes and roasted red peppers. I found that the blend of cheeses created the perfect salty-gooey combination that was reminiscent of the restaurant-favorite appetizer. The roasted red peppers were a nice way to break up some of the richness of the cheese, and helped add some depth to the flavor profile of the dish. My husband wished the dish had a little more kick to it, and added some crushed red pepper to his portion. I, however, found the finished

product to be delectable as-is, and wouldn’t change a thing. The undertones of oregano and garlic helped create a solid base for the richer cheese and cream sauce, and the spinach and artichokes helped give the dish a boost of freshness — despite the artichokes coming from the can. While I opted to add just enough chicken for two portions, there were still leftovers that were great reheated the next day. This is certainly a recipe I’ll be adding into my normal rotation, and I can’t wait to roll it out for company in a few weeks. One of the best parts of the dish was how quickly it came together — and it disappeared from our plates even faster. — Lauren Mifsud

Season chicken liberally with salt, pepper and oregano. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil before adding the chicken and cooking until golden, about 6 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. To the same pan, add the butter. Melt, and then stir in the garlic, cook until fragrant, and then add the baby spinach, artichokes and red peppers. Cook until the spinach starts to wilt. Add half-and-half and bring mixture to a simmer. Stir in the cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until sauce has thickened slightly, and chicken is cooked complete through. Remove from heat and serve warm (over prepared pasta if desired).

Beat the heat with beer

Fiddlesticks & An eclectic blend of Antiques and Home decor!

A conversation with Great North Aleworks’ Brian Parda

A fun, unique place to shop for clothing and accessories.

Brian Parda knows beer. He handles marketing and sales for Great North Aleworks in Manchester and he has to stay on top of upwards of 15 brews throughout the year that are always changing, from summery brews like the Northbound Pilsner to wintertime favorites like the Chocolate Milk Stout. As the summer heat becomes borderline oppressive, Parda provided some guidance on how to quench your thirst for and with beer. How would you describe your perfect summer brew? For me the perfect summer beer is refreshing but also has to have flavor. I’m looking for lower alcohol and maybe a little less body or sweetness.

What styles of beer do you gravitate toward in summer? When it comes to styles for summer, you know me, it’s lagers. Pilsner in particular, but also a Helles lager is perfect. Great North will again release our Pilsner called Northbound [this month]. … I have been enjoying [Moat Mountain Smokehouse and Brewing Company’s] Czech Pilsner and also von Trapp Brewing. On the ale side of beer, my all-time favorite summer seasonal is Brooklyn Summer Ale. My wife and I both look forward to it every year. There is just something about it. It fits all my requirements. It’s flavorful yet smooth, lower alcohol (5-percent ABV) and has just enough hops. [Parda touched on Great North Aleworks’ Tie Dyed Pale Ale.] Another Great North beer that I tend to enjoy a little more in summer is Tie Dyed, our dry-hopped pale ale. It was originally designed as a summer seasonal, so it always feels right on a hot day. But we all liked it so much that we now make it year-round. Is Great North Aleworks releasing any summer-specific brews this year? New from Great North this summer, [is] Country Mile. It’s a dry-hopped farmhouse ale. It’s 5.75-percent ABV and brewed with Pilsner malt, Belgian yeast and dry-hopped with Falconers Flight and azacca hops. The yeast gives it that classic banana and bubblegum flavor that only a Belgian yeast can What’s in My Fridge

Harpoon Brewery IPA: Look, I don’t fully understand why there’s now a tiger on a bottle or can of Harpoon IPA, but for me, and many, many others, this is the beer that planted the seed for today’s hop craze. Go back to your roots. Cheers!

do. The hops give it some fruity aromas and enough bitterness to keep everything balanced.

Take a tour We may very well be at the pinnacle of the craft beer movement and I just don’t want you to miss it. Look, I’m not saying all this enthusiasm for craft beer is going to go away. I can’t make any promises either way actually. I’m just saying it’s time to dive in. And there’s no better way to dive in than to take a brewery tour. There is something about the personal touch of a tour, even if you’re with a sizable group of people, that provides context for the whole operation. You see the facility. You meet the people behind the beer. You get to ask the brewers questions. You get to try the beer, too — and sometimes, if you’re lucky, you might be to sample from an experimental batch. The beer at the brewery, by the way, is at its absolute freshest. In short, beer tours aren’t just for beer geeks. It’s your chance to experience the craft beer industry in person. I recommend hopping on a brew bus, like Granite State Growler Tours (nhbeerbus.com) in Portsmouth, to visit multiple breweries over the course of a few hours — without having to worry about driving. For example, The “New Kids on the Block Tour” hits Throwback Brewery in North Hampton, Deciduous Brewing Co. in Newmarket and Neighborhood Beer Co. in Exeter. Or zero in on one to fully experience the facility and its beer. Make sure to call ahead.

A pivotal essay in David Sedaris’ new book was published in The New Yorker five years ago. The reader stumbling across “Now We Are Five” just 15 pages into Calypso fears the worst, that Sedaris at 61 has put on the old, comfortable clothes of the reprint, which is the lazy writer’s way to appear prolific. Toss one part new material, four parts old for a $28 word salad. But although Sedaris’s account of his youngest sister’s suicide in 2013 is familiar territory, and there are other retreads in this collection, there remains new material more shocking than Sedaris’ quest to feed a frozen tumor to a snapping turtle in North Carolina. Calypso is Sedaris at the peak of his powers, the sly, comic storyteller emboldened as if he’d swallowed a truth serum before sitting down to write. Warning: Some of his revelations you might want to un-know. The book begins benignly enough with “Company Man,” in which Sedaris drolly riffs about his experience as a host, largely in Europe, where he and longtime partner Hugh live. “Though there’s an industry built on telling you otherwise, there are few real joys to middle age. The only perk I can see is that, with luck, you’ll acquire a guest room,” he begins, then zigzags through a maze of anecdotes that seem as unrelated as the words “cancer whore” (a phrase which comes up later) but all fit together like a Brio train. Sedaris, who grew up in a family of six, either has the world’s most interesting family, as he claims, or is the world’s most skillful liar. Both may be true. In one story, his sister Gretchen, who has taken to eating in her sleep, woke up to find that during the night she had eaten from the food she keeps for her pet turtles, “a nutrition bar, maybe four inches long and made of dead flies, pressed together the way Duraflame logs are.” She’d also

gobbled all the petals on a poinsettia, leaving behind a forlorn stalk. In the past, Sedaris fans could accept a wild story like this at face value, but in Calypso he introduces a vapor of doubt as he digs deeper into his family history, revealing that his mother was the family’s first humorist and that, apparently, Sharon Sedaris never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Sharon Sedaris, who died in 1991, took such pleasure in making people laugh that her mantra became “I got them laughing,” and at night, after dinner, she would sit at the table, her enraptured children gathered round her, and teach them how to craft funny stories. (It wasn’t just David Sedaris who benefited; sister Amy is also an accomplished comedian and author.) “Her specialty was the real-life story, perfected and condensed. These take work, and she’d go through a half dozen verbal drafts before getting one where she wanted,” Sedaris writes, adding that sometimes the final version included not the line his mother actually delivered but the line she wished she’d delivered. “We’d be on the sidelines, aghast: ‘That’s not how it happened at all!’ But what did it matter with such great results?” With this, we’re left wondering if Gretchen really ate a turtle bar studded with dead flies or a Kind bar with sea salt and peanuts. Did David really have a lipoma cut out in the middle of the night by a fan because his real doctor wouldn’t let him keep it and feed it to a turtle? Ah, what does it matter with such great results? Less likely candidates for embellishment are the stories that Sedaris tells about his father, with whom he has a complicated relationship, and his dead mother and sister. Sharon Sedaris, her son reveals,

SEACOAST SCENE | JULY 26 - AUGUST 1, 2018 | PAGE 36

was an alcoholic who was never encouraged to seek help. Tiffany Sedaris, who lived for much of her adult life in Somerville, Massachusetts, was also prone to substance abuse, apparently as early as high school, since her high school annual was annotated by friends with references to getting high. In writing about his sister, it’s unclear whether Sedaris is trying to assume the blame for her suicide, or to paint Tiffany as an unfixable, mentally ill mess whose lonely, sad end had the inevitability of rain. Tiffany squandered an inheritance from their mother, he writes, then refused to get

a job when she ran out of money, pilfering from Dumpsters to obtain the basics of living and to get supplies for her art. By the time Tiffany killed herself on the second attempt, brother and sister were no longer speaking, and the story at the times seems Sedaris’s desperate attempt to wipe remorse off his hands, in the way that telling a ghastly story to someone else somehow makes it easier for us to live with its horribleness. All that said, it’s a testament to Sedaris’s gifts that Calypso is, throughout, a wickedly funny book by a writer whose next words are never predictable, even when writing about commonplace experiences, such as getting addicted to logging miles on a Fitbit. About that tumor. No matter hungry your turtles are, please do not try this at home. A — Jennifer Graham

Slong with her solo touring, she played keyboards and sang backup with Jimmy Eat World in the early 2010s, and also played guitar in Damien Jurado’s band for a time. The experience informs everything she writes, along with a period prior to Honest Life when she worked as a bartender in Seattle. Although it was a source of inspiration, Andrews has no desire to return to the job. “I was always bartending to do this; the checks always went to making more music,” she said. “To get to this point was sort of the goal, always the hope. So I don’t

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Inexplicable

San Diego photographer Mike Sakasegawa prides himself on seeing the beauty in mundane objects, The Washington Post reports. But something about his latest subject took social media by storm. On July 11, as Sakasegawa returned home from his morning run, he noticed a round, yellow object rolling down the street. “I thought it was a tennis ball or something,” he said, but in fact it was a lemon. So he did what any self-respecting photographer would do: He captured video of the fruit as it continued its journey to the bottom of the hill, then posted his 1.5-minute documentary to Twitter. Within 24 hours the video racked up more than 2.5 million views. “I post stuff that’s similar to this all the time,” Sakasegawa said. “Most of the time, it floats on by.” By the next day, the lemon video had gained more than 100,000 likes, was retweeted tens of thousands of times, and a literary agent had contacted Sakasegawa, wondering if he’d like to make the lemon into a children’s book.

Least competent criminals

• Rye Wardlaw, 40, chalked up a big FAIL on July 8 at NW Escape Experience in Vancouver, Washington, when he broke into the business in the pre-dawn hours. According to The Washington Post, Wardlaw tried and failed to enter through a back door using a metal pipe, then knocked a hole through the wall. After climbing through, he knocked over a set of lockers. Then, carrying a burrito and a beer he nicked from the company’s refrigerator, he wandered into the “Kill Room,” an escape room dressed to look like a serial murderer’s hideout. Among the blood-spattered walls and fake cadavers, Wardlaw got scared, but he couldn’t ... escape. So he called 911 (four times) and pleaded for help. Clark County Sheriff’s officers accepted his confession and charged him with second-degree burglary. • In Mesa, Arizona, two troopers with the Arizona Department of Public Safety were surprised to find themselves being pulled over on State Route 51 by a black Dodge Charger on July 11. The troopers were in an unmarked Mustang and had spotted the Charger behind them sporting law enforcement-style emergency lights, reported ABC15 Arizona. A registration check revealed the car was registered to a private citizen, who soon activated his flashing lights and pulled the troopers over. When the (real) troopers approached the Charger, they found 44-year-old Matthew Allen Disbro of Mesa wearing a security uniform and a gun belt with a handgun, cuffs and pepper spray. The car also contained a siren box, police radio and a vest with a baton and knife. Disbro was arrested for impersonating an officer.

tion at Disneyland for the goth community, have called it quits, citing the loss of available tax deductions under President Trump’s new tax law. The annual event began 20 years ago and grew to attract more than 8,000 goths each year, with Disneyland offering discounted tickets and hotel rooms for participants. “We did a lot of research,” Bats Day founder Noah Korda told Vice, “and, unfortunately, it just wasn’t feasible to actually continue ... with the way that we run the event.” On May 6, about 800 goths showed up for a final group photo in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.

Undignified behavior

City Councilwoman Carol S. Fowler, 48, of Huron, Kansas, made a splash in the news when Atchison County Sheriff’s deputies tried to arrest her on June 29 for failure to appear on an outstanding warrant. Fowler put up such a fight deputies had to use their tasers on her, and she was arrested for interference and battery on a law enforcement officer. But Fowler was just getting started, according to the Atchison Globe. On July 2, as jail workers tried to remove her jewelry and personal items, Fowler bit one of them on the thumb hard enough to break the bone. Fowler now faces three felony charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and Awesome! Rhode Island Gov.

Bold move

A cheeky seagull embarked on a life of crime on July 14 in Gloucester, Massachusetts, by plucking a man’s wallet from the top of a pizza box and carrying it onto a nearby roof. Phil Peterson was on a cherry picker hanging lights nearby and offered to retrieve the wallet, which was being picked apart by two baby seagulls “literally trying to eat (it),” Peterson explained. He tried to distract them by throwing bread at them, but that only turned their attention to him. “It was like the movie, ‘(The) Birds,’” he said. “I was afraid they were going to pick my brains.” Quick-thinking bystander Mike Ramos borrowed a flashlight from a police officer and used the the strobe feature to “discombobulate” the birds long enough for Peterson to sneak in, grab the wallet and bring it back to Earth. “It was just the craziest thing I ever saw in my life,” Ramos told New England Cable News.

Hey, it’s Florida

• Indian River County (Florida) sheriff’s officers stopped Earle Stevens Jr., 69, on June 27 after another driver called 911, complaining that Stevens’ Mercury Grand Marquis kept tapping her bumper in a McDonald’s drive-thru lane. The officers noted “a strong odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath ... His speech was slurred and his eyes were red and glossy.” He also had an open bottle of Jim Beam bourbon in a brown paper bag on the passenger seat. Stevens, of Vero Beach, struggled to produce his ID and said he’s never had a valid Florida driver’s license, according to Treasure Coast Newspapers. He also explained he was not drinking while driving, only when he stopped for stop signs and traffic signals. After failing several field sobriety tests and a breath test, Stevens was charged with driving under the influence and driving without a license. • Florida Highway Patrol officers pulled over a Nissan sedan on May 16 on I-95 after observing erratic driving, reported the Miami Herald. Indeed, Port St. Lucie, Florida, resident Scott Allen Garrett, 56, smelled of alcohol, had an open bottle of 92-proof Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum on the passenger seat, was slurring his words and had “red, very glassy and bloodshot eyes,” according to the police report. Garrett then told officers his dog had been driving — which would have been notable on its own, but was particularly interesting considering there was no dog in the car with Fun suckers Organizers of Bats Day, a special celebra- him.

PET OF THE WEEK The New Hampshire SPCA has more than just cats and dogs available for adoption; we have many farm animals looking for loving homes too. Scarlett is a 2-year-old potbellied big that was abandoned by her previous owner. She is primarily a house pig but does enjoy her walks outside and her outside time in the pen. She is very clever and responds well to training. She has not lived with children but has lived with dogs and got along with them. Scarlett is looking for a home that will keep her accustomed to the lifestyle she is used to. Previous potbellied pig experience preferred. Scarlett is spayed, rabies-vaccinated and has had her hooves trimmed. If interested in adopting please visit our farm animal page at nhspca.org.
