kid fun rain

— or —

by andrew clay The Seacoast has fun for all ages all summer long, but each year the week of the Hampton Beach Children’s Festival brings even more opportunities for the younger crowds. Check out this guide to the festival, plus a few other things to bring the kids to if you need a little break from the sun — or the rain, as the case may be.

HAMPTON BEACH CHILDREN’S FESTIVAL

It’s never a bad time to be a kid at the beach, but there’s even more fun to be had at the Hampton Beach Children’s Festival, which starts Monday, Aug. 13. Five jampacked days of free summer entertainment will line the Atlantic shoreline of Hampton

Beach with magic shows, face painting, mini-golf, music and more. “The Children’s Festival has been around for a long time, more than 50 years. It was started as a two-day event by Colonel Ashworth around 1925,” said festival co-chairman Sherrill Ayles. She said it became a week-long event in 1985 and has been recognized as one of the 60 best events in New Hampshire for several years, with free events all week for kids up to age 14. The Children’s Festival begins with a magic show at 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 13, at the Sea Shell Stage by Dover’s B.J. Hickman, and it ends with a Christmas in

August guest appearance by Mr. and Mrs. Claus photo opportunity at 12:30 that Friday. One of the highlights of the festival will be Friday as well: a costume parade where any children who want to can march alongside town vehicles such as fire trucks and police cars, plus the Roaming Railroad, Hampton Beach lifeguards and Miss Hampton Beach. The parade runs from the State Park to the Sea Shell Stage. Following the parade, every child will receive a prize. “Some of the people you’ll see coming back year after year, especially in the parade. The thought that some of these families put into the group costumes is

really amazing,” said Ayles. “Children who come to the beach and don’t have costumes will be provided with and given free costumes that they can keep, but a lot of people spend all year planning what they’re going to dress up as for the following year.” With help from the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce, Hampton Beach Village District Precinct, New Hampshire State Parks, and local businesses and sponsors, co-chairmen Ayles and Julie Leonard have been working diligently over the last year to put together this long-time tradition and are looking forward to the new events that are going to take place at this 7

“I haven’t seen them before — Robert Clarke is Funny and the Earthjams. I’ve only seen clips online. The Gator Hide ’n’ Slide Bounce House is new this year as well and that should be a lot of fun,” said Ayles. Ayles said the purpose of the event is to help keep Hampton Beach family-friendly. “This certainly attracts families both locally and from a distance and we feel that that’s what’s important. It is a tradition as well, and it’s fun,” Ayles said. She says that come January, the Hamp-

ton Area Chamber of Commerce begins receiving phone calls from families across the country asking when the festival will be taking place that following year so they can begin booking hotel rooms. “I just want to see everybody have a good time and to see a good turnout, but you know what I would really want? Good weather. But we can do it no matter what the weather. Come rain, come shine we [hold all the activities anyway] for the most part, but it’s much more fun when the weather cooperates with us. … We wish and pray for good weather, lots of 8

FUN INSIDE

If you’ve had all the fun that the Children’s Festival has to offer and want to get out of the sun — or possibly the rain — for a while, the Seacoast offers plenty of other opportunities for kids to have fun. Check out this list of some indoor children’s entertainment opportunities scattered around the area. Whether it’s a hands-on learning experience at a science center or museum, or bouncing around a trampoline park, there is something for kids of all ages.

State Park is the Seacoast Science Center with the goal of providing educational experiences to the public on behalf of the New Hampshire State Parks within which the center is situated, said Science Center president Jim Chase. With hands-on opportunities designed around educating the young as well as the young at heart, Chase says that the plan is to cultivate the next generation of conservationists by reaching out to kids with these experiences. “There’s so much going on in the world today and we need to be conscious of conserving the natural environment that we are so lucky to be the caretakers of. A lot of building that conservation ethic begins with kids and exposing them to the wonders of the natural world,” Chase said. “We believe that over time they will conserve the things that they love, and that by exposing them to these marvelous marine animals and those animals that live here along the coast, they’re more likely to take a conservation-minded approach to the way they live and the way they treat the environment as they grow up.” At the Seacoast Science Center, visitors can find an indoor tide pool filled with diverse tidal animals that can dwell in the Gulf of Maine, as well as a team of naturalists on site all summer long who run hourly programs such as Ocean Commotion and Big Fish Little Fish Monday and Friday mornings for toddlers and pre-kindergarten-age children. Also on hand at the science center is H20 Today, a Smithsonian-built exhibit that teaches the story of water and how it has impacted life on Earth over time. “That exhibit has things for adults and for kids. It gives great opportunities for parent-child interaction where the parent might read the panels, go through 10

8 some of the information and relay it to the kids. It’s very well done and we are fortunate to be able to bring that to the Seacoast,” Chase said. “It is the mission of the Science Center to inspire conservation of our blue planet. One of the primary ways in which we do that is to create opportunities for people to have first-hand experiences with nature and the ocean. One of the things that we have been fairly renowned for over the years is being able to do that for kids,” Chase said. “We are in the middle of 130 acres of really lovely park all with ocean access. It’s a really remarkable facility.”

their various hands-on exhibits dedicated to providing children the opportunities to take the reins on their own education, according to museum president and education director Jane Bard. “The museum is designed as a place for children to take the lead of their own learning and discovery, and a place for families to reconnect and have fun learning and exploring together,” said Bard. With exhibits for kids from toddlers to 12-year-olds, there is plenty to do at the museum to keep children entertained for hours, according to Bard. “The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire is about 18,000 square feet of hands-on learning opportunities and exhibits including everything from a threedimensional submarine that you can get inside and drive, to an exhibit on aeronautics where you can create your own flying contraption,” said Bard. “We have an area for babies and toddlers called Primary Place with an interactive train set and puppet theater, sensory experiences and much much more.” The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire is a great spot to hide out during the rain or on a hot, sunny day for anyone looking to beat the heat, says Bard. “When you’re tired of being at the beach and need an air-conditioned space to be, especially with little ones who tend to get a little tired and sunburned, it’s best not to spend too much time at the beach,” said Bard, “so we suggest people actually come on those days as well because you’ll be here with fewer people and you’ll just have a great experience.” This summer marks the 35th anniversary of the museum and the 10th 12

Explore the Ocean World Oceanarium 367 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton, 603758-7998, exploretheoceanworld.com Tucked away down a side street of Ocean Boulevard off the northern end of Hampton Beach is an underwater world teeming with life. Explore the Ocean World Oceanarium, operated and owned by University of New Hampshire graduate Ellen Goethel, opened six years ago with a simple mission in mind. “The goal is that when everyone leaves

after spending as much time here as they want, they look at the ocean in a totally different way,” Goethel said. “My goal is to make sure that kids aren’t afraid of science, to introduce them to the fact that science is fun and that no matter what kind of science it is, that they are not afraid to ask questions, or to touch, or to really learn.” The natural history museum holds a diverse array of wildlife, all of which can be found in the Gulf of Maine, said Goethel. Deep sea creatures such as spiny and snow crabs can be found in the Oceanarium’s 150-gallon refrigerated deep water tank, as well as blue, calico and orange lobsters, horseshoe crabs, hermit crabs, and other various tidepool-dwelling sea creatures that are available for hands-on interactions at the guidance of Goethel and her team of biologists. “The kids love the big deep water crabs, I bring them out and it’s both scary and awesome and I show them how to touch them. Even the kids that are a little bit wary at the beginning, by the time we get to the touch tank they’re ready to go and pick everything up,” said Goethel. “I have 13

Arcades To children, nothing says “beach” quite like a trip to the arcade. The prizes, the ringing of the victory bell and the bright lights are a great place to hide out from a passing shower or to escape the heat of the sandy beaches across the road. Within the Hampton Beach Casino is Fun-A-Rama, which has classics such as skeeball and air hockey, as well as some of the newer virtual reality rides and games. Collect tickets and win big prizes at Fun-A-Rama, which can be found in the southern part of the casino directly underneath the Ballroom. Also located within the main strip of the Hampton Beach Casino is the Center Mall Arcade, where a plethora of food counters and newer shooter and racing games can be found as well as the classics like the crane machine and skeeball. A few miles down the road at Salisbury Beach is Joe’s Playland. Established over 90 years ago, this family-friendly arcade provides plenty of opportunities for classic game play as well as newer, stateof-the-art video games, a snack bar with ice cream, cotton candy and more, as well as a large center to redeem tickets according to the Joe’s Playland website.

That’s really important to me.”

MARISSA VITOLO ARTIST

Marissa Vitolo is an artist living in Exeter. She teaches high school art in SAU17 and at Phillips Exeter Academy in the summer. She volunteers as the education coordinator volunteers with Town Exeter Arts and Music and is on the board of Main Street Art and on its education committee. For the 2018-19 school year, she will be the Southeast-Seacoast District VP for the New Hampshire Art Education Association. Her work is featured in several local galleries.

What sort of artistic mediums do you work in? I like to use several art mediums depending on my mood, but I make decorative and functional ceramics, paintings and colored pencil drawings. I also love to fuse glass but have found there is not a market for it here in New Hampshire. I prefer realism so I use most of these surfaces to draw upon. The difference with clay is that I can make some of those elements three-dimensional. With glass I prefer to work more abstract. I enjoy making designs like patterns, fractals and abstract shape combos. The colors are typically more vibrant with glass as well.

How did you get started in art? My mother is an artist, starting out as a graphic designer and then art educator. My father was a piping designer, creating technical drawings before AutoCAD. They always had great art implements laying around that I could play with. My mom was also big on taking us to cultural places that showcased art in some way. Along with that, I am also an art educator, so art is in my life always.

What inspires you? Nature plays a huge part in my creation process. There are so many interesting, beautiful and complicated flora and fauna in this world. I love to use plants, insects and animals in my work. When I am out walking around or visiting new locations, I look for intense colors, textural surfaces and interesting juxtapositions of shapes. When I find “just the thing,” I photograph it. I have a ton of images waiting to be made into art. I don’t usually go out and look for wildlife. In this case, I build my work from images I have viewed while scrolling through the internet.

about why someone connects with my work as well. From my experience, so many people want to talk about art and have a connection to art in some way. Even if people cannot afford art, they just enjoy being around it. As the artist, many folks share something about themselves with me. I think that is super cool and appreciate the back and forth. As an art educator, being able to share my skills with others is very rewarding. Seeing all the various works that come out of one set of instructions is amazing.

Any challenges to creating your art? Challenges in ceramics come from shaping the form and envisioning what I want in 3D. I have to figure out surface treatment, how the glazed surfaces will react to each other, and decide upon keeping the drawing flat or not. Glass and ceramics both can break at any given time during the making process, but mainly in the firing. Accepting the loss of a piece you poured a lot of time into is not easy. In all my work, though, challenges come from trying to capture reality. What is most important in your work? The drawing, for me, is the most important. If the proportion is off in any way, I may spend way too much time fixing it. Color matching is another issue. Because nature has so many variations, when the glaze changes or I cannot get the colored pencil to layer just right, I can accept it and move on. I’ll be honest, though, being OK with a color that doesn’t quite match the color in the original image has been hard for me to accept. What is your greatest joy in creating art? My greatest joy is seeing people’s positive reactions to my work. I like learning

How do you work? I work best alone, usually at night, listening to music. With that said, I can get a lot done with the TV on in the background. Maybe since I play a musical instrument, I prefer to engage more of my brain with the song than if I am listening to actors or newscasters blather on and on. I prefer the warm weather since I lived in Texas for 33 years. The winter here is so overwhelming to me that it’s just not as fun to make art, especially if it involves a huge mess with clay that I will have to clean up outside. I hate the cold. Working in a hot garage in a Texas summer definitely leaves an impression.

What do you love about the Seacoast? I love that I am near a beach. I may not get into that freezing water, but just the atmosphere of being near the ocean is enough to chill me out. Teaching all year, though, makes it difficult for me to visit the beach. I enjoy architecture and have found that New England with its age has some good stuff to look at. I take lots of images of stone carvings on the buildings and of those on gravestones to later use in my work. — Rob Levey Want to see your photo in the Scene?

ADVENTURE

Andrew’s

Adventure By Andrew Clay Where I went: Sagamore-Hampton Golf Club (101 North Road, North Hampton, 603-9645341, sagamoregolf. com) What it is: Sagamore-Hampton Golf Club is one of two 18-hole public Sagamore golf courses in the New England area; the other is in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. SagamoreHampton Golf Club is an affordable and well-kept course located minutes from a number of beaches. There are a ton of pricing options at Sagamore based on time, age and other factors. My trip landed within the “super twilight hours,” and our choosing to walk got us to a price of $14 per person for unlimited play after 6 p.m. on a weekend.

stood out about Sagamore-Hampton. The first was the nature and wildlife. You wouldn’t even need to spend as much time in the woods looking for lost balls as I did to see the abundance of birds, squirrels and groundhogs. They were everywhere, and I think in total we counted roughly two critters per hole, but that is quite honestly a low estimate. One woman we met up with while waiting at various tee boxes wasn’t even playing with her group; she said she was there enjoying a beautiful day on the course, the nature and the company. The second thing that stood out about Sagamore as compared to other courses that I have been to over the years, especially as a walker, was the number of hills. The course was, for the most part, pretty wide open as golf courses go. The fairways were wide — the trees were only an issue if you play as poorly as I do — and it was an absolutely breathtaking course. The main obstacles, rather than trees or traps, were the hills. The inability to see the flag from most holes makes the course even more challenging, and nowhere is this more obvious than on the eighth hole, the second par-5 of the front nine. A sharp dogleg to the left following a large lake at the base of the tee box is only made more challenging by the fact that on top of all this the green is located at the far end on the peak of a

What I did: Being a former collegiate baseball player, the only logical next step is to fall into a life of golf. Golf has been a hobby of mine since middle school and has always been a sport that I’ve wanted to spend more time doing — at least until I’m a couple holes deep and trying my best not to throw my clubs into the water out of frustration. My father and my older brother first sparked my interest in the sport, so I decided to invite my dad to come along on this adventure with me. We decided to walk the front nine and the little voice in the back of our heads should have reconsidered after meeting with the friendly course marshal, who checked with us three or four times to make sure we did not want to rent a cart. We did a lot of walking. I’ve made it out to a couple of courses so far this year and for the first time in a long time I was feeling confident in my abilities for this upcoming round. But after teeing off on the first hole, and walking an estimated 12 feet to go take my second shot, and doing the same again for my third and fourth and fifth shot, my confidence was quickly diminished. Lucky for me, however, both my father and I practice a strict “take as many mulligans as you can” version of golf. And that is exactly what we did. Throughout the remainder of our nine holes, there were a couple of things that The clubhouse at Sagamore Golf Club. SEACOAST SCENE | AUGUST 9 - 15, 2018 | PAGE 22

mountain that you must make your way up, and around an enormous 75-foot deep bowl of fairway after mounting the original ascent. It was easily the most memorable, unique and challenging hole that we faced. I ended up carrying my ball the majority of the way up the first hill.

Of course the front nine ends with a short par 3, which ended up being my best hole of the day after I landed a drive 10 feet from the pin, missing a birdie putt and sinking for par. Although I was mad about my round, missing an easy birdie putt to end the round, and having my father hear me mutter words that he might not have heard before, there is still no better way to spend the day than on a golf course with people who mean the world to you. Overall, the front nine of Sagamore is a beautiful, well-kept and relatively challenging course, but this should not dissuade novices from enjoying the day on the links. The one thing that I wish we had done differently, however, is to have listened to the marshal back at the first hole and rented a cart; the hills and the hot, humid ocean air made this an extremely tough course to walk despite only playing nine holes. I look forward to returning in the near future to play the back nine and hopefully redeem my golfing reputation at a course that most certainly got the best of me. Who else would enjoy it: As I noted, Sagamore-Hampton is a generally wideopen course that allows for even the most novice of golfers to have a good time. This relatively affordable and beautifully maintained course has something for people of all ages and skill levels, though the biggest piece of advice would be to avoid my mistake and spend the extra couple of bucks on renting a cart.

Cornhole has taken over backyard barbecues and family outings, but now the game will be a fundraiser for the Safe Harbor Recovery Center. The first annual Seacoast Corn Hole for a Cause Tournament, will be held Saturday, Aug. 11, with games beginning at 11 a.m. at 301 Wentworth Road in the Great Island Commons in New Castle. All proceeds will go toward Granite Pathways’ Safe Harbor Recovery Center, a peer-led center dedicated to helping individuals impacted by addiction. Registration for a team will cost $30, which also covers a lunch that will be provided by Panera Breads. “It’s a double-elimination tournament but if you get knocked out you can buy your way back in,” said Safe Harbor Director Heather Blumenfeld. First-, second- and third-place prizes will be awarded to the teams, and there will be a best team uniform award. Families, friends and the general public are invited to spectate at the request of a $10 donation. Blumenfeld says that the goal for this year’s fundraiser is to raise over $10,000 that will go directly toward maintaining Safe Harbor and providing addicts a safe place to receive help. “You don’t hear of cornhole fundraisers every day so it’s just something different and fun and a good way to get everybody outside and enjoying the summer day,” said Blumenfeld. “It’s just a day to bring your family out and have fun. It’s a really great location, [and] it’s going to be a fun day with food, music and a fun game to play

and not to take it too seriously.” Kids will be entertained throughout the day by face painters, miniature cornhole games, water activities, soccer balls and more. Portsmouth’s Chris Guzikowski, the lead singer of Good Will Harding, will be performing live music between 1 and 4 p.m. A raffle as well as a 50/50 drawing will be held throughout the day. “It’s great when there is an individual in recovery to have a healthy, safe place to bring their families. There are not enough of these kinds of activities for people where they can bring their family,” said Blumenfeld. “This is just a healthy environment and we want the whole family to come. We’re going to entertain the kids while the parents can have fun playing the game.” Blumenfeld said the Safe Harbor Recovery Center is for individuals and families who are going through the recovery journey. She said they connect people with support services and resources, as well as with peers and healthy hobbies. “Things can be really overwhelming so we help recoverees try and break it down and make things more obtainable and knock those barriers down,” she said. “We accept all pathways of recovery, whatever recovery that works for you, works for us. We’re open to anything here.” Teams can register for the tournament as late the morning of the event.

CAR TALK

Money miser wonders how long to wait between oil changes Dear Car Talk: I change the oil in our cars, mainly because I’m too cheap to pay what oilchange shops charge. Is there any way to test to see when the oil in a vehicle is almost worn out? By Ray Magliozzi Our cars vary widely in their use. One does a daily 15-mile commute; another goes 60,000 highway miles a year; and a van goes 3,000 miles or so a year, at times pulling a small camper. Sometimes the oil I drain looks like new. With oils and filters being so good these days, I’m wondering if I’m wasting time and money. If there were some litmus test for oil, it would be helpful, rather than simply going by miles. Thanks from a fan for decades. — Pat There’s not really a good litmus test, Pat. For ages, we’ve always estimated with miles and months. For a long time, our recommendation was to change the oil and filter every three months or 3,000 miles. But that recommendation is completely outdated now. With conventional oil, you can go six months or 7,500 miles. And with synthetic oil, you can go 10,000-12,000 miles, or a year. Some say more. But now a lot of cars have their own, built-in oil life indicators. They work in different ways,

depending on the manufacturer. Some use a direct measurement of some kind, testing the conductivity of the oil, the soot concentration or the presence of water. Other systems keep track of your mileage, the number of times you start the car and the temperature conditions under which you drive. They feed all of that data into an algorithm, and then tell you when it’s time to hit Pokey Lube. Those systems seem to work well, and can help you cut down significantly on the frequency of your oil changes, based on real evidence rather than guesswork. So you might want to make sure that your next vehicles have those systems, Pat. As for an aftermarket “litmus test,” where you wipe some magic test strip on the dipstick and find out how much oil life remains and whether you soon will meet the girl of your dreams, I haven’t found anything I’d be willing to really rely on yet, given that the downside is a ruined engine. It’s just not a risk I’d feel comfortable taking with my own car. If I were you, I’d switch to synthetic, just to reduce the amount of time you spend lying under those three cars with hot oil running down into your armpit. And keep changing the oil based on your best estimates. After all, even several extra oil changes over the life of a car are cheaper than an engine rebuild.

Dear Car Talk: I have a 2004 Hyundai Accent two-door. This is a winter question that I’d like to get fixed now, before it starts happening again. When the temperature drops below freezing for more than a week, I cannot open my doors from the outside. I have to crawl through my trunk and open the doors from the inside, or leave a window open so I can reach in and use the inside door handle. I cannot afford to get it fixed right now, but I am tired of crawling through my trunk. What is wrong, and is it an expensive fix? Thank you. — Kathy That must be quite a show you’re putting on for the neighbors every morning, Kathy. We’ll look for you on YouTube. There are lots of problems that can crop up inside old car doors. One possibility is that the latch mechanism itself is freezing. That’s the easiest thing for you to fix yourself, Kathy. You just open the door, and at the edge of the door (the edge that faces toward the back of the car when the door is closed), you’ll see the latch mechanism. Start by spraying that with some WD-40 to clean it up and remove any dirt and moisture that you can. And then spray it with some lightweight lithium grease to lubricate it and repel moisture. You can get both of those things at any auto-parts store or department. If that doesn’t fix it, then the problem is

inside the door. There are a bunch of rods and levers that connect the outside door handle to that latch mechanism. On old cars, they can get sloppy, rusty, bent or broken, so that the motion of your hand on the door handle is no longer getting transmitted to the latch. And if there’s water in there, all that stuff can freeze, too. The solution for that is to remove the inside door panel and expose the inner workings of the door. Once the inside of the door is exposed, you can have someone operate the handle, and you’ll see what’s moving easily and what’s not. Then clean up everything you can, spray it with WD-40 (I would not use lithium grease on that stuff) and hope that keeps it from freezing. The hardest part of that job is getting the inside door panel back on. It attaches with a bunch of clips, and you never end up with the same number you started with. And if you do leave the door panel off — which you can — you have to be careful not to get grease or WD-40 all over the left side of your clothes when you’re driving. But if it’s a choice between elbowing in through the trunk and driving with a poorly attached inner-door panel for a while, I think I know which one I’d choose. Good luck, Kathy. Visit Cartalk.com.

AT REVEL 853 The friendly faces at Revel 853 (853 Lafayette Road, Hampton, 603-9299966, formerly known as Ron Jillian’s), may be familiar, but don’t expect business as usual — the new name and rebranding brings with it an entirely new menu and concept of unique, creative flavors. And if you were a fan of the classics, there are still some old favorites from the original Ron Jillian’s menu. The Scene spoke with Front of the House Manager Kendall Connors to learn more. How long has Revel 853 been around? [We] opened to the public … May 19. … We had been [doing business as Ron Jillian’s while] working on the rebrand for at least six months prior to releasing information to the public. There was no sale or change in any leadership roles. ... We all shared the same vision and passion for delivering our guests product and service at the next level. We started spitballing ideas in December 2017 and by January 2018 we concluded that the only way to grow in the direction we wanted was a complete and total rebrand. We hit the ground running, starting with food and drink. Once we had our menus completed, we were able to sculpt our image. … Landing on a name arguably [took] the most time and energy. We did word exercises, Google searches and dictionary searches to come up with the perfect name. [Revel owner] Rosemary presented “revel” to us, and the more definitions we came across really sold us, so much so that we compiled our favorites and created a graphic that you can see displayed on the wall near the bar: “To take great pleasure or delight in something, to make merry, to have a lively time.”

What makes Revel 853 unique? On our street sign you’ll see our name and just below it “creative dining experience.” We chose this phrase because we wanted to portray that we were unique and eclectic, without using those words. We are creative because we’ve pulled together a menu that is appealing to basically every appetite or palate. We offer Mediterranean dishes such as the Meze and Shawarma-spiced Salmon; Italian meats and local cheeses on our charcuterie ; Southern American Shrimp and Grits; Mofongo, which is from the Caribbean. I could go down the whole menu and describe each one, but these are some of our favorites. My favorite creative piece of our claim is in the sides. We offer vegetable noodles made with carrots, zucchini and squash; farro risotto; pancetta sweet potato hash; fried green tomatoes; crispy Brussels sprouts, and much more. What is your favorite dish? That is such a hard question! I absolutely love this entire menu. My favorite sandwich would be the Roasted Veggie Tostadas. It is served open-faced — two tortillas lay flat and are topped with roasted mushrooms, onions, peppers, spinach and tomatoes.

On top of the veggies [are] grilled halloumi, which is my favorite cheese ever. It is most popular in the Middle East and can be seared, grilled or fried and it stays firm and holds shape. The texture combined with the char from the grill is to die for. The dish is finished with a lime, cilantro, avocado crema, and freshly chopped scallions. It can be enjoyed with your choice of house-made chips or hand-cut russet fries. Chef would probably be surprised I chose this sandwich over the fish tacos or the salmon, but the tostadas have been a huge hit with our guests, and for good reason. What is a dish everyone should try? Our goal with this menu is to encourage people to try something different and step out of their comfort zone; the menu is extensive for this reason. We want to keep our guests coming back because they can’t wait to try something new. I encourage everyone to try our Surf and Turf sandwich. It is eight ounces of flat iron steak cooked to your liking, topped with two ounces of fresh lobster, butter, arugula, Parmesan and our house-made aioli.

What is an essential skill to running a restaurant? There’s a running list of skills it takes to manage a restaurant, but the one that has led to my success is passion. Passion for learning, improving, customer service, food and drink. ... I love going out to eat and having an in-depth conversation with my server about their product, shared experiences and knowledge. This is the service I strive to provide. Making people happy by providing an awesome meal and conversation is what makes me happy.

What is your favorite part about the Seacoast? There is nothing like fresh air off the salty ocean. As a restaurant manager, my favorite part of the Seacoast is being able to serve the freshest of seafood. Revel [partners] with New Hampshire Community Seafood — they source all of their seafood sustainably. Every week we get whatever they caught outside of Seabrook, Hampton or Portsmouth, and create a dish to complement the local fish. — Alison Downs

Now that my parents are truly emptynesters, they’ve been spending a lot of time on new hobbies. This summer they’ve taken up a vegetable garden, and to surprisingly abundant results. While most things have grown in proportion to what my parents will eat, the zucchini yield from the garden continues to astound me. Giant zucchinis seem to sprout up every day, and my parents have taken to giving them away to neighbors, relatives and business acquaintances — basically anyone who will take them. This is how I found myself with three enormous zucchinis after a trip to my parents’ house last week. While my sister turned her vegetable gifts into breads and muffins, I was looking for a recipe that would be a little friendlier to my waist line and after a few online searches found several recipes for zucchini “ravioli.” Instead of pasta the recipe called for the shell, or the actual ravioli, to be made from layered zucchini, while the filling could be just about anything you could come up with. I opted to use my mom’s recipe for stuffed shell filling — ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic and Italian season-

ings — and decided to try my hand at making zucchini ravioli. Let me tell you, this is my new favorite dinner. I could not believe how well the ravioli turned out. The zucchini was just the right texture. It was soft enough to remind me of biting into a traditional pasta ravioli but still had a bite to it. I was worried that the filling would ooze out the sides and I’d be left with a giant cheese and zucchini soup, but the vegetable slices held together well. Though the casserole dish had a bit more liquid in it than I would like when I pulled it out of the oven, I let it rest for a few minutes before serving, and the liquid seemed to be absorbed into the ravioli. I told my husband I could just imagine the ravioli breaded and deep fried, but I suppose that takes away the health-con-

Either way, this ravioli-alternative recipe is one I’ll be sharing with my friends and my parents, so hopefully they can turn their giant zucchini harvest into a few delicious dinners. — Lauren Mifsud vertically and two horizontally, intersecting in the middle to make a lowercase T shape. Spoon about a tablespoon of filling into the middle of the zucchini, and then fold the ends of the zucchini to the center, working one side at a time. Place the ravioli seam-side-down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining zucchini and filling. Spoon marinara on top of ravioli, and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese. Bake until the zucchini noodles are “al dente” and the cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.

I was at a cookout earlier this summer and as I peered inside the cooler I spotted a couple very hard-to-find brews. These were brews that someone waited in line for, perhaps for several hours. I wanted them immediately. But I chickened out. I had too many questions. Were those beers for me? While I’d like to think so, I feared they weren’t. Did the giver of this special beer want to share with others? Did he or she want to offer samples to multiple people? Did this person even understand the significance of the beer in question? Am I overthinking this? Yes, I am. But the craft beer boom has made grabbing a beer from the cooler a bit more complicated. If I open a cooler and see it’s full of Harpoon IPA, Budweiser or really any other brew you don’t have to wait in line for, I dive in without hesitation. But if the cooler is full of a variety of craft beers in growlers, single bottles or canned four-packs, some of which may be quite coveted, well, it’s not as simple. To be clear, I’m a firm believer that if it’s in the cooler it’s up for grabs, but no one wants to be the guy who grabs that one Heady Topper someone had given to the host while you were using the bathroom. That’s what I’m afraid of. I know, it’s a heavy burden. Do I need to get over it? Yes. Maybe, together, we can get through this. Here are some guiding principles to help you through these types of stressful situations life throws at you. What are other people drinking? Seems basic, right? If you’re worried about taking that last can of Bissell Brothers, take a peek around the deck or the yard. If you see several people with a Bissell Brothers brew in hand, it’s time to dive in. But if you don’t see others drinking it, that might be a clue. It’s just beer In the age of craft beer, that can be difficult to remember. No matter how good a beer is, it’s still just a beer. This is not a rare Bordeaux that has been aged for two decades. It’s beer. What beer you choose will not make or break the party. And taking a coveted beer from the cooler will not or at least should not impact others’ impression of you. Despite the craft beer boom, most people still just don’t care that much. Someone else will take it Rest assured, if you don’t grab that Heady Topper, someone else will. You can’t expect others to overthink this scenario as much as I am. Ask the host Use your judgment here,

as party hosts can be busy, but it’s not a bad idea to have a quick chat with the host. “Hey, I saw there’s some great stuff from Trillium Brewing in the cooler. I’d love to try it but I wanted to make sure that wasn’t a present.” Look, a cookout isn’t a job interview, but taking a moment to ask shows you’re a considerate person who thinks of others. So really, I’m not just offering you beer, I’m offering you life skills. Bring some beer You don’t have to show up with a rare craft brew, but if you were planning on drinking a few beers at a party, it’s a solid idea to show up with a four-pack or a six-pack. I know, this is basic, but it’s a lot easier to justify taking that “special” craft beer if you’ve made your own contribution to the cooler. Chill out Take the beer and enjoy.

What’s in My Fridge Ballast Point Brewing Co. Grapefruit Sculpin IPA: I’m not a huge fan of flavored IPAs, but this brew is the exception for me. The grapefruit flavor is subtle but adds just enough sweetness and acidity to balance out the hoppiness of this brew. I enjoy this brew all year round but it’s a perfect summer IPA.

POP CULTURE BOOKS

No One Tells You This, by Glynnis Macnicol (Simon & Schuster, 293 pages) When it comes to living alone, Glynnis Macnicol has plenty of company. Four in 10 Americans live alone — that is, without a romantic partner or spouse. Even among the youngest adults, that number is climbing; more than 60 percent of people under 35 live alone, Pew Research Center reported last year. So Macnicol’s new memoir about her 41st year of life, unmarried and childless, ought to resonate with a lot of people. It’s an often poignant, mostly cheerful account that begins with her checking into a motel in Queens, New York, to be near the ocean on her 40th birthday: “Was I really going to go home? Sad, sad Glynnis retreating to her studio apartment, defeated by her age. This could not be the story of my birthday.” Symbolically, it’s perfect — unmarried women of any age used to be seen as spinsters; now they ride the Freedom Express, able to duck out of their real lives on a moment’s notice to snag a $70 deal near the beach. Macnicol muses about her milestone birthday while riding the subway, comically envisioning the headlines that would be published if she were to meet with tragedy: “FOREVER YOUNG: On the eve of her 40th birthday, woman pushed into oncoming train by madman.” And, “at least she didn’t have any children.” Her wry observations about being a single, childless woman are refreshingly delivered without a shred of self-pity, Macnicol having decided early on that she didn’t want the life of her mother, who’d earned two master’s degrees but became a stay-at-home mother who never traveled anywhere by herself. But the flag that Macnicol bravely plants in her opening pages seems less a call to solidarity as her story unfolds, and more of a haughty marker of a small sovereign nation comprised of affluent, educated, well-connected women of New York City. Hers is not the story of everywoman, but of a woman whose most recent relationship was with an unnamed celebrity with whom she communicates primarily by text. She has an enviable web of friendships with other city dwellers who find her plum apartments and freelance assignments that allow her to travel to exotic locations for free. And even as she writes movingly about her mother’s deterioration from Parkinson’s disease and a friend whose baby is born dead, there is a once-removed aspect about her life. She experiences loss on the periphery of others’ lives; hers is a second-hand suffering that occasionally pops up as she travels hither and yon in second-hand fur coats, seeing everything through the glittery hard shell of a

veteran New Yorker. At one point, while visiting a dude ranch in Wyoming, part of a cross-country trip with a friend, Macnicol rides a horse to the top of a hill and is mesmerized by the scenery. When she tries to explain what she is feeling to her guide, she comes up with this: “It feels like the first time I came up from the subway in New York.” Moreover, while she has no qualms sleeping with a much younger man, she is quick to diss a 59-year-old suitor, who lied about his age on Tinder. “SIXTY. Wow. Sixty. Sixty was not nothing. It was definitely not forty-one, or even forty-nine. Sixty was closer to seventy than it was to forty. I was on a date with a sixty-year-old man.” Ironically, Macnicol is not a native New Yorker but a Canadian who succumbed to the city’s allure. And to be fair, by the memoir’s end she becomes less Carrie Bradshaw, more Laura Ingalls Wilder (one of her idols, along with Princess Leia), even returning to the dude ranch — again, on whim — for a month to write a book and sleep with a cowboy. But again, her experiences have an otherworldliness to them, fly-fishing in the Bighorn Mountains even as the unnamed celebrity continues to ping her. It is, indeed, wonderful to have the freedom and resources to live as Macnicol lives, to be both gorgeous and a “great conversationalist” as the Vonnegut-loving cowboy tells her, and to have a best friend who not only provides her with the greatest apartment in New York City but also puts a chocolate popsicle in the fridge when she returns from her travels. But there is a limited audience that can

relate, the success of Sex and the City notwithstanding. Macnicol has far less sex and fewer shoes than that crew. The sex she does have seems antiquated, a leftover from the free-lovin’ ’60s, even though she presents it as proof that a mature, accomplished woman can enjoy sex for sex’s sake, without the weepy attachment of the desperate. “Slow down,” she tells her 28-year-old cowboy. “Here’s what I want you to do.” The next day they part as friends, and she realizes later she never got his last name. She finds this all exhilarating: “No wonder intelligent older unmarried women were always cast as dangerous creatures. Furies and witches and sorceresses and harpies. Experienced, confident minds, bodies far from failing. I had all the power right now.” At times this seems less reality, more lawof-attraction affirmation. And despite the promise of the title No One Tells You This, it’s never clear what Macnicol is telling us. Best I can figure, it’s “yes, you can be single and childless and happy, so long as you have an apartment so great that all your married-mom friends will tell you they’re jealous of your life.” That said, she keeps us reading, even when the narrative drifts dangerously into the realm of a tedious journal. She’s going to tell us something — she promised! Any page now! Great conversationalist though she is, Macnicol ultimately fails to deliver except for those already conversant with her glamorous, citified life. And she never tells us what the rest of us really want to know — who, exactly, is the pathetic unnamed celebrity, who she identifies only by his area code, 646, and where we, too, can find a $70 motel room close to Manhattan.

See all of your favorite classic bedtime stories brought to life at the Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon Saturday, Aug. 11, and Sunday, Aug. 12, at the open-air theater in Lower Henry Law Park in Dover. It’s part of the annual Cocheco Arts Festival, and shows start at 2 and 4 p.m. The Garrison Players Arts Center will be performing this one-act show in an attempt to recreate all 209 of the famous Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales, combining them into one 40-minute fable. Seven actors and actresses will be playing over 20 well-known roles including Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and more, so audiences can expect fast-paced, quick-costume-changing improvisational theater at its finest, according to the show’s director, Mary Irons. “Last year was beautiful and with the river in the background it’s a scenic spot with the historic mills in the background. It’s a nice spot on a weekend in August,” said Dover Chamber of Commerce Community Events Manager Morgan Faustino. The play is fun and meant for people of all ages. “There is definitely some adult humor in it but it is funny for families but there is some stuff that will go over the kids’ heads, but it’s all in good fun,” said actor and producer Chris Gempp. “We had done Shakespeare the last two years for the the-

have encouraged the actors to do improvisation whenever possible so the truck and train noises that may have been a little concerning during our past performances will just end up being a part of the show,” said Irons. “For me, I’m looking forward to that, to see how those exterior sounds will become part of the actual show.” This free, open air, one-act play is open to the general public and provides a unique experience for people on both sides of the stage, according to Gempp. “You get to sit there with the river in the background, there are people around playing Frisbee while you’re watching,” Gempp said. “There are people who go to the park to see the show and then there are the people who are walking by and go, ‘Oh, what’s this? I’m going to stop and listen for a few minutes’ It’s a new type of venue. When we’re performing at the theater it’s only the people who are coming here to come see the show, but when you perform outside there are different people who are just walking by, see people in costume and want to watch.” This year’s play is sponsored by 2 Home Cooks restaurant. Call ahead and bring a cooler the night before and the restaurant will fill it with sandwiches, drinks and desserts for the whole family for an additional fee. “Bring your blankets, bring something to eat and drink and plan on having a really fun time. It’s a pretty fun experience,” said Irons. “It would be great to fill the park.” Anyone who is interested may take photos with the different parts of the set at the conclusion of the production. — Andrew Clay

Stone Church reunion Seacoast venue celebrates an early 50th The three founders of The Stone Church disagree on the venerable Newmarket nightclub’s age. One claims 1969, while the other two stick to the official opening date of Dec. 18, 1970. Either way, the current owner didn’t want to wait until 2020 to mark 50 years of delivering top local and national talent to Seacoast music fans. “We never thought it’d live past 30, but then I guess none of us thought we’d live past 30,” Mike Hoffman said by telephone recently, as he talked about a reunion scheduled for Aug. 11 that will include every living person associated with the venue that he’s succeeded in locating. “I don’t want to wait for a 50th anniversary. … We might lose two or three of them by the time it comes around.” Hoffman and his wife Cheryl took over the club one year ago, but they’ve been frequenting it since the 1980s. “It’s always been a special place,” he said. “I had my wife’s 30th birthday party here, then her 40th and 50th. ... It’s a local meeting

house that’s by the people, for the people. It’s unique.” The all-day gathering will kick off with Truffle, a band that’s been part of the Stone Church community since forming in 1986. Folk trio All She Wrote plays next, followed by Lunch at the Dump — “who have been playing since the beginning of time,” Hoffman said. Gonzo accordion player Gary Sredzienski and his band The Serfs will close the night. There’s an open invitation to anyone who worked or performed there over the years, and Hoffman has doggedly pursued every potential attendee. There are a few near impossible gets, like Bonnie Raitt, who played while visiting her brother (once a roommate of an old owner), or members of Phish, Avett Brothers and moe. — all of whom gigged there. “They’ve gotten a little bigger than the Stone Church, but we wanted to get the invitation out,” he said, adding with a laugh, “Just because they made it big doesn’t mean that

they’re off the guest list.” One person that definitely will be there is Paul LeBrun, who owned the Church from 1993 to 2003 and once told NPR that it was among a small group of “clubs that are supportive of the bands, dare to let them play their own material, and hope people show up to see it. ... There’s not many places like that left and they’re getting fewer by the day.” Another is Bill Madison, who’s credited by Hoffman with “striking the first chords in the burned out church.” After a long career as a nationally touring musician, Madison retired to Florida. He’s making a video of Stone Church history to share at the event. The Stone Church Meetinghouse was built as Universalist house of worship in 1833. At the turn of the 20th century it was taken over by Catholics. Later it served as a VFW hall, a roller skating rink, a shoe factory and finally a music club. The latter venue changed hands a few times after opening. After LeBrun sold, it closed for a year, and later returned with Chris Hislop booking. “What I want to do is bring it back to the days of Paul and Chris,” Hoffman said. “Chris put on some of the best shows. There were acts that we had no business having here, but if they said yes, let’s do it. It also was a launching pad for local performers.”

The recession in 2008 nearly marked the end for the club. “The heartbeat of the Church was on life support when Adam and Susie Schroadter came into the picture,” Hoffman wrote in an email. “It could have been a death sentence ... but the Schroadters were dedicated to keep the music playing.” Since the Hoffmans took over, they’ve added a sprinkler system, which led to some recent good news: Venue capacity is now almost doubled, from 99 to 185 people. Regulatory changes forced a reduction in 2004, following the tragic fire at The Station Nightclub in Warwick, Rhode Island. “It should really help us attract some bigger talent on occasion and put us back on the map a little bit,” Hoffman said. As Hoffman looks forward, the reunion is about the past, and the resilience that’s kept it open despite long odds. “For good times, pay some respects, get these guys together,” he said. “They did something really special way back when.” — Michael Witthaus Stone Church Reunion When: Saturday, Aug. 11, 1 p.m. Where: Stone Church, Zion Hill Road, Newmarket Tickets: $15 at stonechurchrocks.com

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION Among the gazillion other products and services available from Amazon is the behemoth’s facial recognition software, Rekognition, marketed as providing extremely accurate facial analysis. But when the American Civil Liberties Union gave it a go, the results were startling. Using Rekognition, the ACLU scanned photos of every current member of the U.S. House and Senate and came up with 28 matches to a mug shot database of people who had been arrested for crimes. The ACLU announced its findings July 26 and admitted it used Amazon’s default settings, to which Amazon responded, “While 80 percent confidence is an acceptable threshold for photos of hot dogs, chairs, animals or other social media use cases,” Amazon would advise customers to set the threshold at 95 percent or higher for law enforcement. The ACLU told NPR that the legislators who were falsely matched were men, women, Republicans and Democrats of all ages. However, the software did misidentify people of color at a higher rate.

Weird science

You thought you were old? You’re just a twinkle in a nematode’s eye. Russian scientists have revived two ancient, frozen roundworms, or nematodes, from samples collected in Siberian permafrost, The Siberian Times reported on July 26. The worms, which were found in cores taken from 30 meters and 3.5 meters deep, are believed to be female and 41,700 and 32,000 years old, respectively. After collecting the samples, scientists slowly thawed out the worms, which eventually started eating and moving. Scientists from the Institute of Physico-Chemical and Biological Problems of Soil Science in Moscow believe the nematodes have some adaptive mechanisms that may be of scientific importance.

According to the Sacramento Bee, the homeowner forced the teen out of the home and called police, who tracked him down a block away and arrested him for felony residential burglary. Police later determined it wasn’t the teen’s first attempt at connectivity. Less than an hour earlier that night, a prowler had summoned a woman from her home to ask for access to her Wi-Fi network also. She told him to go away, and he rode off on a bicycle — which she realized the next day he had stolen from her backyard. She called police, who recovered the bike near where they had arrested the teen.

• Jeffrey Jacobs, 37, thought he had a great thing going. Last year, when a tree fell on his White Plains, New York, home, he told the owner of a tree service (and big hockey fan) that he was the owner of the NHL’s Boston Bruins, reported The Hour. Impressed, the tree service owner sent a crew in the midst of a storm, then billed the actual club owner, 78-year-old Jeremy Jacobs, $5,100 for the service. Police in nearby Wilton, Connecticut, heard about the deception when they received a call in May from security officials at a company chaired by the Bruins’ owner. The story sounded familiar: In November, Jacobs had been pulled over in Wilton, and he told officers he owned the Bruins in an effort to get out of the ticket. On July 20, Jacobs was pulled over for using his phone while driving in Poughkeepsie, New York, sent back to Wilton and charged with criminal impersonation. • Diamonds are so 20th century. In Japan, Warp Space is offering newlyweds the chance to make their union universal with wedding plaques launched into space.

Astronauts will memorialize the launching by taking photographs, which will then be sent to the newlyweds. The service costs $270.

PET OF THE WEEK Cookie Dough was brought to the NHSPCA in Stratham as part of a cruelty case after he was abandoned by his owner. He is a very friendly boy who is very active! Cookie Dough likes to be petted and be with people and will make a great companion for a lucky family. He would love a family that will give him plenty of love and exercise time! Did you know that rabbits make wonderful family pets? They are curious, social, and very smart. Just like cats or dogs, they can live out and about in the house with you. Bunnies can be trained to use a litter box and can even learn to do tricks! Like all the rabbits in our care, Cookie Dough has been neutered to help prevent pet overpopulation.
