Having recently celebrated its 380th anniversary, Hampton boasts a rich history and community. Even richer than the history, though, is the beach area’s commitment to maintaining the quality of life that stems from what Hampton Beach has to offer in an ever-changing world. We talked to longtime residents about the town’s past, some of its most significant transformations and what it’s been like to watch Hampton Beach become what it is today.

Growing up in Hampton

Hampton is full of residents who have long experienced the charm and preserved history in the tourist-friendly town. John Kane is one such long-time resident who has years of fond memories associated with Hampton’s people and places; it’s no wonder, then, that he is now the marketing director for the Hampton Beach Village District. Kane’s family started coming down to Hampton Beach in 1961 when they bought a rental property. Back in ’61, the tourist industry in Hampton was a little bit different — a lot of the mills in the Merrimack Valley would shut down for the first two weeks of July, the hottest weeks at the beach, and people would take their vacations to Hampton during that time, according to Kane. Today, a lot more people are in high-tech industries where they can take vacations at different times of year. This is a huge change from the past, according to Kane, who explained that the

beach area was practically empty in the winter months. “In 1961, when you came down to the beach, there was a saying, ‘The last person on the beach on Labor Day was to shut off all the lights,’ because no one would come back except occasionally to check if their houses were still standing,” he said. Kane recalled that when he came down to Hampton during the off-season there was no running water, the doors weren’t open and there were no restaurants. The only places he remembered being open were Garwin’s and the bowling alley, making these businesses the only available bathrooms during the off-season as well. At that time, the pipes that were part of the old Sea Shell were only buried three or four inches into the ground, so those facilities did not work during the off-season, according to Kane. Flash forward to 2018 and these facilities are surely working year-round and more and more people are making the beach their home 12 months of the year. “What I’m seeing now is that a lot of people my age are selling their big houses where the kids have moved out and they’re building homes in Hampton yearround where their beach cottages used to be,” said Kane. The year-rounders of the past experienced a far different atmosphere than those today. Kane recalled a story from his wife, who was one of these year-rounders earlier in her life when the community was 8

“Back then, there were so few kids on the beach that the Hampton Beach Fire Department used to go around to all the kids and deliver Christmas presents,” Kane said. Although fire department-generated Christmas presents may be left in the past, Kane recognized that there are plenty of traces of history still to be found in Hampton. His own house is one example. Kane’s house was built in the 1890s and, similar to most of the other houses built at the time, it served as a boarding house. In the period his house was built, people would arrive at the beach in trolleys from the city dressed in long beach attire and would stay in the boarding houses, where there would be lockers and showers. Kane lives in a seven-bedroom house on Ocean Boulevard that, in a past life, served this exact purpose. “In our house, there are still numbers on the doors, where, back then, the boarding houses would have one common bathroom and a sink in each of the rooms,” said Kane. “A lot of people would come up for the day, rent a locker, and then they would have lockers and baths up at the casino or behind the boarding house.” In addition to these physical traces of history in the Hampton area, it is the shared sentiment for Hampton that ties the past and present together in Kane’s case. “For me, Hampton is a place that my family grew up in, it was a business place, and we are now living here year-round,” Kane said. “And now, I’m meeting more and more people as the years go on, and

they all continue to think that it’s lovely here and they really enjoy it, just like we do.” In order to keep Hampton fun and loved by all, the forms of entertainment have had to evolve with the times. For one, Hampton was a dry town for many, many years, and visitors would have to trek to Salisbury for entertainment from the bars. Right in Hampton, Kane remembers having two bowling alleys that were very popular that aren’t around anymore, as kids are drawn more toward the electronic games. That is not to say, however, that old-fashioned fun has completely gone out of style. “The arcade is the same, Playland and the Funorama have always been there, but things have definitely changed over the years depending on what kids are attracted to,” Kane said. Beachgoers today don’t get to experience the bicycles for rent on A Street that Kane remembers, but things like the playground have remained popular over the years. The playground, which was originally at the top of B Street on the beach itself, has since been moved to between G and H streets, which was once a parking lot. Today, if you dig down about three or four feet in the playground, you can still find the asphalt, according to Kane. With gradual evolution, some elements of Hampton’s past have been challenged by time; lodging is one of those. “We’re losing a lot of the hotel rooms that we really, really need, and in their place we’re seeing condos go in,” Kane said. Despite the change, some bitter- 10

You say hi and hi turns into, ‘Hi, how are you, where are you from,’ so you get to know a lot of people.”

Hampton native Mike Higgins and his family own a business that Hampton regulars recognize as a popular dinner spot and gathering place: the Old Salt Restaurant. The Higgins family, which includes Mike, his mom, and his brother and sister, opened the Old Salt Restaurant in October 1986 on Hampton Beach, with the intention of establishing a traditional family-owned restaurant. “We soon became one of the most popular restaurants down on the beach,” said Higgins. However, the restaurant suffered from a fire that started in the building next door in June 1999 and took out a whole block from J Street to K Street. A testament to the family’s dedication to the business, Higgins said that within a week and a half, they had managed to lease and open up a restaurant that was the Whale’s Tale on the boardwalk for a period of time. According to Higgins, the family brought all of the staff at the old restaurant to the new location to continue this tradition. In the meantime they sought to rebuild right on Hampton beach again, but real

estate was not working in their favor at the time. Again, the family remained dedicated to the business and adapted to the challenges by opening up the restaurant in Lamie’s Inn in town in 2001. Lamie’s Inn itself is rich in history, as it was originally a Sheraton hotel, back when hotels couldn’t sell liquor to locals, according to Higgins. “We’re a full-service restaurant here, which is fantastic with the hotel,” Higgins said. “We have a lot more space and meeting rooms and function rooms. We pretty much brought our business and everything there and it has expanded over the years.” In addition to keeping the overall theme of the restaurant and the classic family atmosphere the same over the years, the Old Salt prides itself on its consistency of employees. “The most important aspect we’ve been able to maintain over the years is most of our employees. I think we have at least 20 or so who have been with us since the beach days,” said Higgins. “We have also maintained about the same menu, but everything has expanded and gotten larger.” Not only have they maintained their employees, but Higgins and his siblings, along with their spouses, have continued to work at the restaurant over the years as well. In time, their children have begun working at the restaurant, creating another generation of family employees. “It’s fantastic that our family works so well together,” Higgins said. “It’s nice to see three generations thriving in the restaurant.” Although the Old Salt has been able to maintain many of its favorable qualities over the years, some evolution was 12

10 necessary over the years to adapt to new locations and changing customers. Higgins explained that the location change from the beach to in town certainly changed their regular customers, and there were some challenges when adjusting to business at Lamie’s Inn. When it was at the beach the restaurant welcomed tons of tourists in the summer, being one of the most popular restaurants there. The restaurant on the beach enjoyed its fair share of locals as well, since it stayed open during the winter months. The current in-town restaurant relies much more heavily on locals for business. Although the restaurant still receives a lot of tourists from the beach, the business is much more paced out year-round because of the locals. With locals creating most of their business, the in-town restaurant now aims to create a desirable environment in the off season. “Off-season, it’s not just a restaurant,” Higgins said. “We try to create an atmosphere, whether that’s Sunday brunch or a comedy night, a place to go versus just a restaurant.” And it’s not just the Old Salt that has grown to focus on and cater toward locals more over the years; the Hampton community in general focuses a lot more on things in town than it used to, according to Higgins. Apart from molding the restaurant around its customer base, the Old Salt’s menu has naturally transformed with the seafood fluctuations over the years. Higgins explained that 10 years ago he could purchase scallops for $6 a pound, haddock was plentiful and there was a time when

cod was the main white fish overall. Now seafood availability has changed and fish like cod are difficult to find again. “A lot of the change comes in the purchasing and the way that seafood changes since that’s one of the biggest parts of our menu. … We have to adapt to the seafood and the fresh product that’s available to us,” Higgins said. No matter the fish, or the location, Higgins’ and his family’s passion for the community has remained strong over the years. “I think the Hampton community is fantastic,” said Higgins. “Everyone does a great job. We just love the Hampton community.”

A Hampton landmark

In speaking of continued fondness for and connection to Hampton over the years, Kane and other locals tend to reference the Casino Ballroom as an establishment rooted in the area’s history that continues to attract beachgoers today. The Casino, like the town, has transformed greatly since the days of boarding houses described by Kane. “Back then, the Casino Ballroom used to have top-of-the-line bands and it was a ballroom,” Kane said. “To go out on the ballroom floor you’d have to hand in a ticket for about five cents and then you’d go out and dance. Now it’s different — it’s more of a venue.” Andrew Herrick, director of sales and marketing for the Casino Ballroom, explained that the Ballroom “has had a lot of curves in its historic accent.” “The introduction, in the early ’20s 13

Casino Ballroom. Courtesy photo. 12 and ’30s, of a venue to gather in and listen to music alone is remarkable when you think about it,” Herrick said. The impact of the Big Band era on recreational concert attendance should not be underestimated, according to Herrick. The Ballroom kept up with national trends, even hosting a rock museum when it was still considered risky. The establishment continued to evolve with music preferences, hosting performers like Led Zeppelin and The Doors, Seinfeld and U2. “Through the ’80s and ’90s as pop culture grew in this country, the Ballroom provided an avenue to see the greats up close,” Herrick said. Of course, the Ballroom’s journey was not always a smooth one. Herrick explained that in the 1970s Jethro Tull required the National Guard to bring order to the beach

after a hectic concert, resulting in the Ballroom shutting its doors for a period of time. The venue has surpassed all obstacles, though, and can now host performers multiple times throughout their careers. Although the performers have changed over the years, the venue has essentially stayed the same structurally. “That stage is the same spot that Zeppelin, Hendrix and all the greats played. Facing the shorter wall, which is unusual,” Herrick said. Herrick explained that the wooden building is a big acoustic advantage. Beyond that, though, the venue has changed with technology, allowing it to be more aware of customer needs and thus more likely to adapt and respond to those needs. In envisioning the Casino Ballroom’s evolution in the next 50 years, Herrick said he looks at it “a little bit at a time, as needed, [which] seems to be the way we survived the first 100 years. Play the long game.” Playing the long game has certainly worked for the Casino Ballroom, in addition to the other businesses and places that have withstood the test of time in the Hampton area, likely relying on passion as well to keep them running. “I think passion is the common thread to success,” Herrick said.

13 served in the area’s history and continued into the future as well. As director of the Tuck Museum and a member of the Hampton Historical Society, Betty Moore provides insight into the ways that locals and tourists alike still maintain the history and the fondness of Hampton Beach over the years. She recognized the importance of businesses and establishments like the Old Salt Restaurant and the Casino Ballroom that preserve traces of the area’s history. “We appreciate the businesses that have a long history; it’s nice when they still maintain their property. They can move along with the times but also keep track of what’s happened,” said Moore.

For Moore, what has importantly stayed the same over the years at the beach is the passion and love that make the environment so special. “I look at people like the business owners, the hotel owners, and think, boy, they put heart and soul into the kind of product they give people and the experience they want people to have.” These hard-working business members and community members are the ones who have made the beach area a desirable place for families to visit and live over the years. “People that come here with their families are looking to make memories,” Moore said. “They’re creating memories that their children or their grandchildren will have.” From the Chamber of Commerce and the beach precinct to the Casino Ballroom, the annual sand sculptures and the Miss Hampton Beach pageant to the new Oceanarium, Hampton is full of traditions and establishments that work to preserve and evolve the fondness that so many have felt and feel toward Hampton. “I appreciate the Casino Ballroom building, for example,” Moore said. “I think the casino itself is great in that people come from all over New England who have grown up here and have fond memories of the casino. I think that kind of old-fashioned feel is a draw for them.” In addition to old buildings like 16

The museum recently hosted a celebration for the 380th anniversary of Hampton, but Moore noted that they are always at the museum ready to have visitors come and enjoy the five buildings of history.

“We are happy we can provide that to the community,” Moore said. In all the ways that Hampton has endured and evolved over the years, there is one thing that Moore knows has stayed the same: “Even though the times have changed, when I talk to people, there’s this real sense of this deep, deep love of Hampton Beach that they want to impart to future generations.”

Its hours are Sunday, Wednesday and Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. There are buildings, monuments and artifacts on site, and tours are available. Find out more at hamptonhistoricalsociety.org.

The museum is hosting its 17th annual pig roast, the prime source of fundraising keeping the museum open, as there is no admission fee and no town funding for the museum. The pig roast will be held on Aug. 25 from noon to 2:30 p.m., according to Moore. The menu will include fresh and succulent roast pork, applesauce, homemade

baked beans, brown bread, salads and lots of desserts. For those not partial to pork, there are other choices from the grill. You can also enjoy entertainment, try your luck at a 50/50 raffle and find a treasure at the silent auction held in the historic barn. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students ages 9 to 16; children 8 years old and under are free of charge. Tickets are available at Marelli’s Market, the Hampton Parks and Recreation office, the Tuck Museum, Provident Bank, a primary sponsor for this event, and via PayPal at hamptonhistoricalsociety.org/ pigroast2017.htm.

PEOPLE AND PLACES

PETER OLDAK CO-OWNER OF JEWELL TOWNE VINEYARDS Is being a winemaker less stressful? There are different kinds of pressures. In the winery, there are issues involved with growing grapes, pruning, disease control and weed control, harvesting on a timely basis. You have a fairly narrow window with harvesting — you start in September and finish up in March. We have one crop a year. Even fruit wine makers can turn tanks over a few times a year.

When did you open? Well, I want to say first that the winery is also owned by my wife Brenda. She is an important part of the winery. So when did we open? We went commercial in 1994. We are the oldest winery in New Hampshire. How did you get into the wine business? I started out growing grapes in 1982 and making wines in 1985. In 1994 we were producing 200 gallons per household, which meant it was ‘fish or cut bait,’ so we decided to go commercial. My wife describes it as a hobby run amok. What role does your wife play? She is primarily involved in the marketing and administration. She also helps out in the vineyard.

Do you have a nice mix of folks who come in? We have been downsizing somewhat. We were in over 150 restaurants — we were in over 150 restaurants and liquor stores at one point. In terms of the tasting room, we saw many people — over 4,000 tourists each year. Peter Oldak. Courtesy photo.

How is business? It is going well. Recently we made a change in our business plan. All our wine is made from grapes we grow. In the past we supplemented our volume from grapes grown from outside the area. Today our volume is somewhat lower, which is why we are only open on weekends now. How large is your property? Twelve acres with five acres devoted to the vineyard. What wines do you prefer from your winery? They are all my children, so I can’t show favoritism. One that comes to mind is our Aurore. Another is our Landot Noir. You will notice with our wines that our whites do not feature a lot of household names. They feature FrenchAmerican hybrid grapes. We do not have fruit wines or sparkling wines either. All our wines are from grapes. Wine-making sounds complicated. Is it? It depends. You can make wine simplistically — you can just add yeast

to grape juice. At a commercial level, though, there are quite a bit of things we have to do that differ from the amateur, including clarity, stability and balance and things like that. There is quite a bit that goes into making a good-quality wine at the commercial level. Any surprises in this line of work? One of the more laborious aspects of it is the paperwork — there is a lot of paperwork. We have to file excise tax reports monthly, register with the Food and Drug Administration, file with the Department of Employment Security. There are other things we must do, too, including audits, filing sales taxes — it can be quite time-consuming. What did you do before your winery? I was an emergency-room physician. I trained at Tufts and I went to medical school at Georgetown. I started at Peabody as an emergency-room physician and our group went to Anna Jaques. I worked in Danvers and finished up at UMass. I started the winery mid-career and did both for quite a few years. I retired in 2007.

With other wineries now in New Hampshire, is that a good or bad thing? I think it is positive. It has opened up the eyes of the New Hampshire public that there is a domestic winery here. We have Wine Trails and a passport here. Wineries are very much part of the tourism program here in New Hampshire. What is in your future? We intend to focus on the grapes that we grow. I’ll also do some mentoring of some of the newer winemakers and direct them to what I consider are the appropriate wine varieties in the area. We cover four distinct agricultural zones temperature-wise in the state. Certain grapes will only grow in certain temp zones. Choosing the right variety for the right places is the key to have any success as a grape grower. — Rob Levey Know someone awesome?

Q&A’S

We talked to people on the beach and asked them some tough questions... Q: If you could go on a dream vacation, where would you go and what would you do?

Q: If you could have free tickets to any sporting event, which would you choose?

A: I would like to go to Australia. I would want to do everything, go and do the whole adventure thing like surfing, snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, windsurfing, parasailing, bungee jumping, skydiving, see a kangaroo, the whole Australia experience.

JOHN STAFFORD FROM CLAYTON, GEORGIA

A: I would have to pick the Super Bowl just because it’s an absolute classic. I would love to see the Patriots play; hopefully they’re making it this year. If I had to guess who would be in it this year, I would probably say the Patriots and Packers. KYLE GILCHREST FROM MARLBOROUGH, MASS.

Q: If you could be part of any TV family, which would you be in?

Q: If your life were to be made into a movie, who would you want to play your role?

A: The Kardashians, because I love them.

A: Probably Zac Efron because I think we look a lot alike.

ELLA CAMPFIELD FROM NEWFIELD, N.H.

BEAU COLLINS FROM LONDONDERRY, N.H.

Q: If you could eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would you choose? A: I would definitely have to go spaghetti. I’m Italian and it’s an awesome meal, it’s delicious and it’s easy to make.

Q: If you had the choice to live anywhere, where would you choose?

A: If I could live anywhere, I would probably move back to Columbus, Ohio. I would move back home because Columbus is the best and I could go to Ohio State games all the time.

ADVENTURE

Andrew’s

Adventure By Andrew Clay Where I Went: I spent the day at the Seacoast Science Center and Odiorne Point State Park (570 Ocean Boulevard, Rye, 603-436-8043, seacoastsciencecenter.org). Admittance to Odiorne Point State Park costs $4 for adults and $2 for children. Admittance to the Science Center costs $10 for adults and $5 for children, and you must pay to enter the state park before visiting the Science Center. What It Is: The Seacoast Science Center is a combination aquarium, museum and interactive educational playground for people of all ages. The center’s purpose is to educate and inform the public about the importance of preserving our planet. Located at the heart of beautiful Odiorne Point State Park, the Science Center makes for an excellent stop-in after a long day of tidepooling and adventuring around the expansive and diverse coastline. What I Did: If you ask any of my close friends they will tell you that I ride a fine line between being “young at heart” and being immature the majority of the time. But in order to get the point of view of an actual kid during my experience at the Seacoast Science Center, as well as

while venturing around Odiorne Point, I decided to bring along my 10-year-old niece Skylar for this adventure. Always curious and eager to engage in any experience that might bring her closer to nature and animals, she was more than ready to tag along. At the start of this adventure, I made it very clear to her that she was in charge and that I would follow her wherever she wanted to go throughout the day. She was the leader. We began this trip with the intent of starting inside the science center and eventually making our way to all of the options available to discover around the facility, but upon the approach to the building we were both drawn to the whale bone, saturation diver tank and (Top) Seacoast Science Center.

The Rye Historical Society has always made an effort to preserve the history of its town, and in 2002 the doors were opened to the town museum. Now the museum is open to the public on Saturdays from May to October from 10 a.m. to noon, and yearround most Wednesdays from 3 to 5 p.m. The museum can also be opened at any point year-round at the request of any curious individuals by contacting the Rye Historical Society ahead of time. “It’s a wonderful little museum ... and right now it has the chronological history of Rye on one side and thematic history on the other side, but it really is the tip of the iceberg,” said Alex Herlihy, president of the Rye Historical Society and son of the society’s founder, Jessie Herlihy. “People shouldn’t be shy — just call or write and we’ll open it up for you. People get in there and they realize that history has so many different facets and it’s so multi-layered and it’s so complicated. We try to deal with all history; we don’t want to sanitize anything.” Prior to the opening of the museum, the library had acted as the repository for any gifts, artifacts and important historical town memorabilia. This, as well as the town’s bicentennial celebration in the 1970s, resulted in the creation of the Rye Historical Society in 1976, according to the Historical Society’s website. The Historical Society began collaboration to cordon off a section of the library as a section for the preservation of various town artifacts in the “MacDonald Room,” which then acted as the museum up until 1997 when the five-year moving process to 10 Olde Parish Road first began to provide the Historical Society a building of its own to showcase the historically significant memorabilia accumulated throughout the town’s history. This moving process, financially provided solely through donations to the Society over

the years, gave birth to the History of Rye NH Town Museum, according to Herlihy. Herlihy and the Rye Historical Society have already begun preparations for the town’s 400-year anniversary coming up in 2023. “We will be honoring the native people and the 400 years of European settlement here and we’ve started that process already this year with a couple programs,” said Herlihy. Thursday, Sept. 13, will mark the beginning of a new program regarding Rye’s Sunken Forest and the history of the Atlantic Cable. “This town has been at the crossroads of American history since the beginning. When you think about people coming from Europe, Portsmouth and Rye are highly intertwined in their history, as well as New Castle, so these three communities are very tight,” said Herlihy. “The first successful international telegraph came here and we have a piece of the cable back from 1874. Rye is very wellknown by people from all over the United States and Europe and beyond. Rye history is American history.” Herlihy pushes the idea of the Rye Town Museum being a place of self-exploration, urging the value of the museum not being a place in which guests will be talked at, and that he would rather have the museum be a place for self-guided tours. “The staff are there to answer questions if you have any or engage in conversation if you would like but we let guests go about their business because there’s a lot to take in,” he said. “There’s layers and layers beyond what’s up on the wall.” Admittance to the museum is free of charge, but donations are accepted.

CAR TALK

Car styling is largely dictated by fuel and safety requirements Dear Car Talk: I was looking at a new car (finally bought the RAV4) and was reading reviews of lots of different makes and models. Many of the articles brought up styling, usuBy Ray Magliozzi ally as a positive, for a given car. But when I was looking at crossover-style cars, they all looked pretty much the same. I mean, they look a little different from the front and from the back, but from the side, I have trouble differentiating one from the next. The lengths are about the same. The openings for the wheels have small differences. The rooflines with the roof rack all have similar slopes. The Honda looks like the Toyota, which looks like the Nissan, which looks like the Ford, the Chevy, the Audi, the BMW, the Volvo, the Mercedes, the Bentley and a few others in between. So, maybe you can help explain what the car reviewers mean by “styling”? Thanks. — Dewey Styling is largely a personal preference, Dewey. I mean, two different women opted to marry my brother. Need I say more? There are some “rules” of styling. And when they’re broken, they can make a car look odd or funny. A layman might not

be able to explain exactly why a car is not attractive, but, as Justice Potter Stewart once said: “You know it when you see it.” And there’s less to style than there used to be. There are powerful external forces that make compact crossover vehicles all look the same. Fuel economy requirements largely dictate the overall shape of the vehicle and the curve of the roof. And safety requirements dictate things like the height of the hood and angle of the front grill. Then you have the fact that these vehicles all are competing for the same buyers, which leads manufacturers to “benchmark” and copy each other, offering similar sizes and prices, and trying to copy the sales leaders. The result is that when it comes to modestly priced cars, “styling” is largely decoration. There are certain styling decisions that do cost more money, and can make a car look more expensive: a long hood, thin A-pillars, complicated metalwork, expensive headlight treatments. And if you know what you’re looking for, you’ll see that stuff on cars like the Bentley and Volvo, and not so much on the Nissan and Chevy. But here’s the bottom line, Dewey: If you can’t tell the difference, then you should base your purchase decision on other things, like price, reliability and whether you can put the

key fob in your pocket and then walk without a limp. Look, I know some wine is better than other wine. But since I can’t tell the difference between a $75 cabernet and a $7.50 Trader Joe’s red blend, I get my wine at Trader Joe’s. And since a car is a commodity to you, you should ignore styling when you’re buying one. And that’s obviously what you did, Dewey. Enjoy your RAV4. Dear Car Talk: When I owned a 1964 Chevrolet Impala convertible, I designed and installed a raindetection system so the convertible top would close automatically when it started to rain. This system never failed me in the six years I owned the car, and I would purposely leave the top down even if it was expected to rain — just so I and others could see it go up. With much better technology now, why is this feature not available on convertibles today? — George Good question, George. It’s certainly technically feasible. The skylights in my house do that, so why not a convertible? I can think of a couple of reasons why manufacturers might not want to add a feature like that. One is that today’s convertible tops are so easy and quick to put up and

down, there’s very little incentive to leave the top down when you park the car. It literally takes 10-15 seconds, and no effort other than pressing a button to close up the car completely — including securing the top and closing all the windows. So why would you leave your car exposed to the sun, debris, bums who want to take a nap, and the guy who doesn’t know where else to throw the wrapper from his lamb gyro? It’s so easy now, you can put the top down for a three-minute drive to the convenience store on a nice day and put it back up again, and not feel burdened. The other reason I can think of is that the manufacturers might not want the liability. Even though the technology is good, what if it fails? Do you think Jaguar wants to pony up for an entirely new Freedonian leather interior because a five-dollar moisture sensor failed? Or because you parked under a low tree limb that blocked the top from closing? But maybe some of our readers in the automotive business have a more conclusive answer for George.

AT BOGIE’S AT DEPOT SQUARE (32 Depot Sq. Hampton, 603-601-2319) is a brand-new restaurant bringing with it a brand-new flavor. In addition to Key West- and Maryland-inspired dishes, you can find some American favorites, like chicken tenders, Buffalo wings and burgers. Co-owner Paul Bogart, who owns the restaurant with his brother, Hugh, sat down with The Scene to discuss Bogie’s location, his hopes for the restaurant, and why everyone needs to try the crab cake. Courtesy photos.

How long has Bogie’s been around? We opened on May 16 of this year. I’m a real estate developer, [originally] from the North Shore, Boston — Topsfield — and I came to Hampton about three or four years ago. I identified Hampton as a place I wanted to move to because I had a friend up here. My son was graduating from high school and I wanted to find a place near the coast where I thought I could continue my real estate investments. I identified Hampton, [specifically] Hampton Beach, because the beach has been changing and I saw some opportunities. I came up here about a year ago, bought some property, identified this building for sale … it had a restaurant in here, which was closing. I’ve always kept my eyes open, I’ve always thought [owning a restaurant] could happen. … [This was] a really good location, a nice-size kitchen, nice pub, a nice family-friendly dining area. It was really a perfect storm … an opportunity we needed to take. And my brother, who has been in the business for

35 years, [he ran] restaurants, owned restaurants, so I partnered with him to run the restaurant. He spent most of his life in Maryland. That’s why when you see the menu, you’ll see it has Maryland flavor to it as well. What makes Bogie’s unique? A couple things. [We’re] familyrun: my sister is a manager-bartender, one of my brothers is a part-time cook, my son is a dishwasher. We’re familyrun and we enjoy people and enjoy the business. We’re [also] a local pub and family-friendly dining area. I don’t want to say it’s like Cheers, but it’s more like we want to know everyone’s name. We have a reasonably priced menu, we’re casual dining. Also, [my brother’s] menu is all from scratch — the sandwiches, the appetizers, the entrees. And the entrees have some Maryland, mid-Atlantic [flavor] to them; like the crab cakes. The crab cakes are flying off the shelf because they’re real crab cakes. He has

SEACOAST SCENE | AUGUST 16 - 22, 2018 | PAGE 28

Key West scampi, soft-shell crabs, when they’re available. We [are] a little bit different. For instance, we have a fried haddock sandwich, but that’s usually on our specials. We don’t necessarily have haddock [every day]. We don’t have lobster. We have that niche, the mid-Atlantic niche, which is really becoming popular. What is your favorite dish? The crab cakes are my favorite dish; prime rib is second. All our entrees come with choice of salad or vegetable, and also a choice of baked potato or starch of the day. So it’s a full meal, and the pricing is probably more reasonably priced than most restaurants in this area. We have craft beer in draft, we have multiple bottle beers, domestic and international, and a full-service bar. What is a dish everyone should try? Everyone should try the crab cake. The soft-shell crab, the crab cake appetizer, and the sandwich. People have told

me [that] the crab cake here is different than any crab cake they’ve had in this area, because it [isn’t] filled with a filler, it’s filled with crab. It’s been a huge hit, and people just rave about it.

What is an essential skill to running a restaurant? Understanding all aspects of the business, which include purveyors, staffing, financing, includes marketing, and includes service, obviously. Experiencing all aspects of the operations in that sense, and we do have that.

What is your favorite part about the Seacoast? The ocean! For me, being from Mass., my favorite part [is that] the Seacoast people are much more relaxed, friendly, easygoing. [They] enjoy life, rather than stressed out Massachusetts [people]. Just happier and not uptight. [Being] in the restaurant [business], there’s a difference. We see it. — Alison Downs

One of the most incredible parts of having your own garden in New Hampshire is growing zucchini. Zucchini, in my experience, is the easiest vegetable to grow from seed, particularly because of how much it produces. I remember the first year of my garden, when I had no idea what I was doing, my zucchini plants were prolific. While they grew in spite of my lack of skill and complete ignorance, there are certain important rules to follow when growing zucchini. Zucchini is a kind of squash originally developed in Italy. The name comes from the Italian word “zucchino,” which means “small squash” in Italian (thank you, The Spruce Eats). They grow best in warm weather and should be planted after the risk of frost has passed. While I didn’t do this my first year, zucchini ought to be planted in mounds and thinned to one plant per mound as it grows. The benefit of thinning is to bolster the strongest plant so it becomes a good producer. Zucchini

plants do need space, so make sure to leave enough room between mounds, at least two feet. Zucchini’s versatility makes it so easy to use. I’ve gotten pretty good at coming

up with various ways to eat the incredible amount of zucchini my garden produces every year. Here are my favorite ways to eat zucchini. — Allison Willson Dudas

How to use zucchini 1. Spiralize it. If you are late to this craze, you need to hop on the bandwagon immediately. Get yourself a spiralizer (they vary in price and you don’t have to spend a lot!) and make some “zoodles.” Zoodles are edible raw as a base for a salad (think macaroni salad with no macaroni) or sautéed slightly in place of traditional spaghetti. In my experience, cooked zoodles work with tomato sauce, pesto and even cream sauce. Particularly if you’re trying to lower your carb intake, zoodles are for you. 2. Mandoline it. With a couple of simple

kitchen tools, zucchini becomes an incredible treat. Slice up some zucchini into super-thin circles, place them on parchment paper with a little olive oil on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes (but watch them closely!). Salt and pepper and enjoy. 3. Sheet it. The box grater I own has a feature that allows me to slice lengthwise and create a sheet with vegetables like zucchini or eggplant. If you’re super fancy and you own a KitchenAid mixer with a vegetable sheet attachment, do it up! Make sheets however you can with your zucchini (use a knife and cutting board if you have to) and

treat it like lasagna. Layer it with ground beef, tomato sauce, ricotta and mozzarella and bake. So good! 4. Grate and save it. Sometimes you just end up with too much zucchini. Not to worry. You can freeze it! My favorite thing is to grate and bag zucchini in the perfect amount for my zucchini bread and chocolate zucchini cake recipes. I’ll label them and use them in the future. 5. Hide it. Grating zucchini makes it so inconspicuous. You can add it to smoothies or even your homemade tomato sauce for a nutritional kick.

Reds in the summer

121950

Chilling red wines is not a cardinal sin I love red wine during the winter, but it takes a back seat during the summer months due to the heat. Can you chill it, though? This is the question many have asked, and one I asked myself during a recent vacation. We had a bottle of cabernet sauvignon in our wine chiller and I wondered who had put it in there and why. According to Decanter.com, you can chill red wine, and it is not the cardinal sin that many think it is. Actually it is a much more common practice. You can actually consider chilling Beaujolais, pinot noir, valpolicella, cabernet franc and frappato. According to the article I read, the cheaper or simpler the red wine, the better it is for chilling (if that is your thing). According to Sarah Evans, MW, “fresher styles with good primary fruit flavors” are better for chilling. If you are considering chilling a red, think about the wine’s tannin and oak, because chilling it will bring out these characteristics. Thinking of chilling a red but don’t know how long? Evans recommends chilling reds for a half hour and then serving them at a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. However, if you chill red wine too long you could dilute the flavors and then it won’t taste as good. You can also get a wine too warm, and then it could not taste as well from heat, either. If you’re going to chill a bottle of red, here are some tips from Matt Walls of Decanter.com: • Put a bottle of wine in an ice bucket for 10 to 15 minutes to chill it, but take sips of the wine to make sure you aren’t over-chilling it. • Use a Corkcicle or something similar to keep it cooled but not too cool. • You can try popping your wine in the freezer for about 8 to 10 minutes, but be sure not to forget about it. Or you can try popping it into the fridge for 25 to 30 minutes. • Use a plastic or metal wine cooler to keep the wine chilled. I mentioned frappato Italian wine, which is new to me. This is a wine I have not tried yet. It is an Italian wine from Sicily that is light-bodied wine with a grapey aroma. This wine is a good pairing with pasta dishes like spaghetti, Bolognese and lasagna. Other wines that are good, according to WineCoolerDirect.com, include: Lambrusco: Lambrusco does well with a chill because of its body and that

it can be off-dry. Bring the temperature down a couple of degrees to serve it. Beaujolais: Due to the characteristics of Beaujolais, some of its flavors will remain muted when it is served without any chill. When it’s chilled in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes, the fruity, sour cherry characteristics are prominent. Grenache: Grenache is similar to zinfandel and should probably be consumed at cellar temperature. However, it can be enjoyed with a slight chill, as that will bring out its characteristics. Pinot noir: Stick with a New World pinot noir (from Washington state or Oregon, for example) if you are going to chill it. Pinot noir is fairly high in acid and fairly fruity, and those flavors typically awaken when chilled. Cabernet franc: Cabernet franc is going through a transition and tends to be medium-bodied, with flavors of bell pepper, crushed gravel and even strawberry. Zinfandel: I would never think to chill zinfandel, but unlike white zinfandel, it is concentrated and complex. Is there a wine not on the list that you enjoy chilled? Then enjoy it! This is not a comprehensive list and only includes some suggestions but not all of them. I tend to find that the sweeter the red, the more I enjoy it chilled, but drink it how you like it. — Stefanie Phillips

Old in Art School, by Nell Painter (Counterpoint, 325 pages) Nell Painter was an accomplished historian with a chair at Princeton University when she decided she’d rather be an artist — not just any artist, but the kind signified by capital letters — “An Artist” — an artist respected and collected. To that end, Painter abandoned a gilded life among the elites of academia to enroll in a bachelor’s program at a state college, studying among tattooed bohemians who saw no problem with bluntly asking, “Just how old are you?” Sixty-four, Painter would reply without embarrassment. Millennials, after all, consider 59 old, and Painter owns it in her memoir of reinvention, Old in Art School. Showing none of the baby-boomer tendency to deny time and wrinkles, Painter embraces her oldness as she navigates courses, first at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University in New Jersey, then at the storied Rhode Island School of Design, where she found grad work to be not so much education as “one long tearing down.” Her scholarly experience meant nothing in “crit,” the group critique of one’s work that is “art school’s sacred space for learning.” There, you can have a Ph.D. from Harvard and still see your work dismissed as hackneyed, banal and, worst of all, “20th century.” Besides age, Painter had one other thing that distinguished her from her classmates: a distinguished resume that included the publication of seven books, including the well-received The History of White People, which awarded her an appearance on The Colbert Show between group critiques in Rhode Island. But while this fame gave her cred with a small group of academics, her resume was largely ignored by her art-school peers who thought nothing of taking a class photo while she was momentarily out of the room, and even some professors, who seemed determined to tear her down. “You will never be an artist,” one repeatedly told her. Defiant in the face of such criticism, Painter persisted, believing “my personal worth in art, again, my old, academic, black self, would need all the institutional support it could gather” from academic institutions with prestige. It was often a lonely business, however, and she writes candidly about the divide of her own disciplined, organized self “working with young people with — how shall I say — dissimilar work habits.” “Day after day after day I ate alone among undergraduates laughing uproariously and commiserating dramatically over what was Technicolor red-orange hilarious and what

SEACOAST SCENE | AUGUST 16 - 22, 2018 | PAGE 34

was acrylic cyangreen catastrophic. Everything new. Everything just born. Drama, always. Undergraduates’ lives were so vivid. I, on the other hand, was living in a shadowed realm in ink — black, gray, walnut.” At the same time, Painter was dealing not only with challenging remnants from her former life (including the presidency of a national group of historians), but also the end-of-life needs of her parents, whose formerly vibrant lives were rapidly disintegrating on the West Coast. Her mother died first, and then her father dissolved into self-pitying depression, and Painter writes candidly about her frustrations as a caretaker trying to maintain her own life, which also included a husband still living in New Jersey. That side story is raw and compelling for anyone in the throes of caregiving, less so for anyone decades away from that trauma. But don’t forgo Old in Art School on account of not being able to draw Social Security. Thirty, after all, is “old” in any undergraduate program, and Painter’s overarching theme is not age or race, but reinvention. Her descriptions of art school (particularly graduate school) are useful for anyone considering that line of study, and even for those who will never get any closer to art than signing a contract in cursive the memoir is an interesting survey of contemporary artists and

their struggles. You will learn things, such as how the grit of paper is called its “tooth,” and why people care so much about Andy Warhol. And as Painter’s journey unfolds, we see images of the work she created for her assignments, a nice touch that demonstrates her growth as an artist, and also shows the challenges of art school. All memoirs are honest, but Painter is honester than most, at times disconcertingly so. She admits that one reason she was compelled to change fields was that she was miffed that she’d never won a substantial prize for her earlier books. While quick to reject others’ criticism of her work, she easily and harshly dismisses others — “soft little Kerry” who painted banal prancing horses, an architecture student who wouldn’t read an essay on black art as “a narrow-minded little twit.” Moreover, Painter’s style takes some getting using to. She has an aversion to quotation marks, and her structure at times bounces between choppy and elegant. Overall, however, the memoir is an exuberant romp of possibility, exhorting people of every age to accept that 85 percent of what we produce may be crap, but it’s the 15 percent that isn’t crap — the 15 percent that, in fact, might be crazy good — that comprises the elusive thing we call art, the thing that elevates us beyond the ordinary. As for whether or not Painter finally becomes “An Artist” — that’s a spoiler, but suffice it to say she now identifies as “an artist who lives and works in Newark, New Jersey. “I am a wise old person, not a hot young artist, not a young anybody with a young anybody’s future before me. I know the value of doing my work, my work, and keeping at it,” she writes. That’s good advice for anyone, at any age. A — Jennifer Graham

As a journalist, Keith O’Brien of Lee is always on the lookout for interesting stories. While reading a book one day, he found one — a single line that mentioned a women’s air race that took place in the late 1920s. “I had never heard of such a thing… and I was curious, so I dug into it a little and started going to libraries and looking at newspaper archives and reading about these racers,” O’Brien said. “They captivated the country during that time but have been forgotten. ... I knew that this was an important story to tell.” O’Brien’s new nonfiction book on the topic, Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History, was released last week. He will present it at Water Street Bookstore in Exeter on Monday, Aug. 20, and at Gibson’s Bookstore in Concord on Thursday, Sept. 6. In the 1920s and 1930s, airplane racing was a hugely popular sport. It was also a male-dominated sport; only a small number of women even had a pilot’s license at that time, and the ones who did weren’t taken seriously. Fly Girls tells the story of a group of five female pilots and friends who fought for their place in the sky and proved to the world that they were just as skilled at flying, if not more so, as the men. One of them was Amelia Earhart, who rose to stardom after becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Ruth Elder, a young divorcee from Alabama, was a pioneering woman of aviation, having flown before Earhart was even heard of. Arguably the most skilled of the group was Florence Klingensmith, a high school dropout who worked for a dry cleaner in North Dakota. Louise Thaden was not just a pilot but a mother of two who got her start selling coal in Kansas. Lastly, there was Ruth Nichols, a Wall Street daughter and graduate of Wellesley College, who flew in the face of her family’s expectations. “When we think of women in aviation during that time, we think of Amelia Earhart, but there were other women flying with her who were just as brave and bold and talented,” O’Brien said, “so this is not a chapter-by-chapter book about different women. It’s about an ensemble of women, fighting together for their right

he said. “These women flew through everything, adversity after adversity, to win in the end.” O’Brien conducted his research for the book in 10 states, visiting history and aviation museums as well as town historical societies and libraries, where he pored through archival materials like letters, diaries, poetry and memoirs written by and about the five women. “Sadly these characters are long gone and have been dead for 40 years or longer, so I didn’t have the luxury of meeting them,” he said. “I had to rebuild their lives myself.” O’Brien said he had no special interest in aviation when he decided to write the story, and that readers don’t have to be interested in aviation to appreciate it. “Obviously, the main characters are aviators and in the world of aviation, but this isn’t a book about airplanes,” to fly.” he said. “It’s a compelling human stoThe book follows the women’s activry about women who fought against ity from 1927 to 1936, concluding impossible odds and were determined to with what O’Brien calls “an unlikely change the world.” triumph.” — Angie Sykeny “There’s drama, adventure, disaster,”

Summer in the 603 is a reggae/rock block party Now in its third year, the all-day Summer in the 603 Festival will be about good friends, great music — and collaboration. One reason host group Roots of Creation is often called a “jam band” is that it’s always expanding from a five-member core to welcome other guests to play. This time around they’ll do two sets, one dedicated to Grateful Dub, a reggae-fied tribute album that debuted on top of Billboard’s reggae chart last spring, and another featuring the rest of their catalog. Sitting in at various times at the festival will be Trinidad and Tobago-based artist Marlon “Ganja Farmer” Asher, who sang with them on the new album. The show will mark the first time that Asher will perform “Fire on the Mountain” live with the band. Billy Kottage, a trombone player and full-time member of Reel Big Fish, will also appear with RoC. Kottage just wrapped up the final Warped Tour with his regular band.

“It will be great to have him because he plays guitar, does harmony vocals and plays trombone, switches back and forth and really fills out the sound,” RoC front man Brett Wilson said by phone as he and his band returned from a pair of shows in Colorado. As the name implies, the day has a local flavor. Coming out of hiatus to join them is Super Secret Project, who achieved national fame with the Jay-Z song parody “Granite State of Mind” and later made a video with Roots of Creation that ultimately gave the annual event a name. “Summer in the 603” was a long inside joke, with cameos from several famous New Hampshire residents. “It’s been a long time since they jammed,” Wilson said. “We’re happy they’re back on it because they couldn’t make it for the the last one. … They’ll do a song or three with us; it’ll be great to have them.” Fear Nuttin Band is reuniting for its first

Reggae DJs Green Lion Crew will do a live dub set, and RoC keyboard player Tal Pearson will appear as his alias, DJ Budd Lyte. “It’s a blessing to help curate this and have our friends be involved, throw a fun end-ofsummer party at Hampton Beach, one of my favorite places to play,” Wilson said, noting that Haley has success doing shows at Bernie’s, and RoC opened for Badfish recently at a sold out Casino Ballroom concert. “The scene’s really strong,” he said. “It’s becoming a home base for us, and a home away from home for fans. People from Massachusetts, New York and other places meet there as a center point to see music, vacation and have a good time.” — Michael Witthaus

show in three years. Known for a unique metal-infused-with-reggae sound paired with hip-hop topicality, the Massachusetts band was the first show done by promoter Paul Haley, who runs Granite Lion Entertainment, the company presenting Summer in the 603. After the band broke up, guitarist Chris Regan joined RoC. “We all had a kind of powwow and it seemed like a cool thing for them to reunite,” Wilson said. “It’s the right time, right place and we’re psyched to watch them. They’re super-high-powered, and their MC, Roosta, usually gets them up, so that’s an exciting collaboration that might happen.” One of the day’s high points should be Tropidelic, a reggae and hip-hop hybrid band out of Ohio that’s made Northeast inroads of late. The group built a following in its home base by distributing 10,000 free copies of its first EP, Rebirth of the Dope, and they host their own weekend-long Freakstomp Music Festival every year. New to the festival this year are Crooked Coast, a favorite of the show’s promoter. “They’re out of Cape Cod, and they’ve been blowing up there,” Haley said, noting that he’d booked them recently for a weekday beach show and “the response we got was incredible. They’re fun, high-energy rock pop, very engaging, upbeat; they’re like the

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

• Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): This week will be full of possibilities. Unfortunately, they will all lead to failure. • Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Finish whatever you’re doing so you don’t have anything hanging over your head. And that big chocolate eclair you’re eating doesn’t count, so you might as well give me half. • Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A problem at home will surface today. Coincidentally, it will occur exactly when you arrive there.

• Aries (March 21-April 19): Fit as much as possible into today. We’re all eager to see just how much you can screw up. • Taurus (April 20-May 20): Take a creative approach to professional projects today. Too bad in everything you do, you’re a complete amateur. • Gemini (May 21-June 20): It’s a great time to be alive! It’s just not such a great time to be you. 122075

• Cancer (June 21-July 22): Don’t let your emotions cause other people to get snippy around you. But then you don’t have any emotions, you lying creep, do you?

• Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make sure everyone is on the same page, today. Just make sure they’re not reading your obituary. • Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Impulsive actions will lead to anger, upset, and problems with those you live with. In other words, think twice before you eat that dog food out of the bowl anymore. • Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Though some of your neckties are pretty alarming.

• Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today will be the very best day of your entire life. Kinda depressing to know that this is as good as it gets. • Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You won’t be able to finish reading this horoscope without making someone laugh HA HA HA HA HA.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Hair today, gone tomorrow

Armed thieves in New Delhi, India, left a craftsman deep in debt after they made off with 500 pounds of wigs and raw hair worth more than $20,000 on July 27, according to the Associated Press. “People think wigs are cheap, but they cost a fortune to make,” wig-maker Jahangir Hussain said. In fact, he had borrowed more than $17,000 to buy hair last month from South Indian wholesalers. India exports wigs and hair extensions to the tune of $300 million a year; much of the raw materials are collected at Hindu temples where people shave their heads as a religious sacrifice, a practice called tonsuring.

So many questions

When an employee of Sarabeth’s restaurant in New York City opened the walk-in freezer door on Aug. 5, a man jumped out, yelling, “Away from me, Satan!” and grabbed a knife from the kitchen, which he used to threaten restaurant staff. Carlton Henderson, 54, of Cave Creek, Arizona, struggled with workers but eventually fell unconscious and was transported to Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the New York Post reported. Authorities don’t know (1) why and how he entered the freezer and (2) why he died, but they did determine he was charged last year with two 1988 cold-case murders in Boston. He had been released on bail the week before the freezer incident and was The (im)perfect seatmate Chicago cellist Jingjing Hu, a student at scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 14. the DePaul University School of Music, found herself being escorted off an Amer- Ripe ican Airlines flight on Aug. 2 after trying West Valley City, Utah, has a malodorto return to Chicago from Miami with ous mystery on its hands.

port’s public information officer, Doug Yakel, says the machine is no joke; it earns $10,000 a month on average. Do the math: At $49.90 apiece, the company is selling about 200 of its ultra-light down vests each month. “This is the first time we’ve had clothing available for sale from a vending machine, which we thought was very unique,” Yakel told Business Insider.

Least competent criminal

The Baltimore Sun reported that a driver’s license examiner in Glen Burnie, Maryland, got a whiff of something illegal on Aug. 6 when she approached a car about to be used in a driving test. She called Maryland State Police, who found Reginald D. Wooding Jr., 22, of Baltimore waiting in his mother’s car to take his test. But he never got the chance: Wooding was in possession of marijuana, a scale, more than $15,000 in suspected drug-related money and a 9mm Glock handgun with a loaded 30-round magazine.

Compelling explanation

In Bluffton, South Carolina, 32-yearold Lauren Elizabeth Cutshaw informed police officers she was a former cheerleader, sorority girl, good student and National

Honor Society member after they pulled her over at 1:45 a.m. on Aug. 4 for running a stop sign at 30 mph over the speed limit. According to The Island Packet, she also told officers she shouldn’t be arrested because she’s a “very clean, thoroughbred, white girl.” She said she’d had only two glasses of wine, but then allowed, “I mean, I was celebrating my birthday.” Police arrested her anyway and booked her into the Beaufort County Detention Center.

Questionable judgment

Farah Hashi, 25, of Newport, Wales, is “mad about cars,” so while he was visiting friends in Dubai, they arranged for him to drive a $350,000 Lamborghini Huracan. Hashi, who has one leg shorter than the other and typically drives a custom Vauxhall Corsa mobility car, took full advantage: He was caught on roadside cameras 33 times in less than four hours on Aug. 7 as he reached a top speed of 150 mph and racked up more than $47,000 in speeding fines. Farah’s brother, Adnan Hashi, said the rental company went to Hashi’s hotel room and seized his passport after the fines were issued, so Hashi is stuck in Dubai until the mess can be sorted out. “There is no way he has that money,” Adnan told the BBC. “He is out of work at the minute and went to Dubai to visit friends.” Visit newsoftheweird.com.

PET OF THE WEEK Haggy is a fearless and independent cat who ended up in the shelter because a landlord wouldn’t allow cats. She is an indoor cat who loves her nap time and enjoys petting but likes her independence. She has lived with other cats and is described as loving and playful. This 6-year-old beauty is ready to find her forever home as the shelter environment is a little overwhelming for her and she may appear nervous. Looking for a lovely addition to your home? Come in and meet Haggy! Like all the animals available for adoption at the New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham, Haggy is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on all her shots. Visit nhspca.org.
