KATIE MORRIS CO-OWNER OF THREE SISTERS CAKE SHOP Why did you name the business the way you did? We named it that because there are three of us sisters and also our mother is one of three girls. I have three daughters of my own, too.

didn’t want to cut into the cake because it was too beautiful. What is the most fun part about your business? We went into business wanting to create a well-known, high-quality product and become an integral part of our community. We love what we do and love how happy our customers and their children, family members and friends are when they see their custom-created cake.

How long have you been open? We opened in our mother’s kitchen in 2012. We have been in our commercial kitchen in the Washington Mills in Dover since 2013. What prompted all of you to go into the wedding cake business? I am the oldest sister and [do] all of the decorating. My sisters Hannah and Holly meet with all the brides, bake and handle all the employees. They also do all the paperwork and bookkeeping that comes with owning a business.

What sort of things do you offer? We provide all sorts of treats besides cakes, including cookies, cake pops, pastries and more. We cater to weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, bridal and baby showers, and any event that needs sweets. What is the most challenging part of your business? The hardest part of wedding orders is delivering them. Why is that? We hold our breath the whole time, knowing we have such an important part of a bride’s special day. A three- to four-tiered cake can be daunting to deliver. Talk a little bit more about what you do. Are all your cakes complex? We make simple cakes all the way to unique shaped cakes and tiered cakes. We can design a cake depending on the customer’s preferences and themes, or we can emulate other cakes that the customer has found and likes. We have made a variety of shapes, themes and flavors and we love how creative our job is.

Are you from the Seacoast originally? We grew up in Dover and love being a part of this community and growing as Dover grows. Is it challenging running a business as a family? We love owning a family business and working together. Some people said it would be difficult working with family, but we so enjoy it and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Holly Morris (left) and Katie Morris (right).

Can you describe maybe the craziest cake you ever made? There haven’t been too many cakes that really stand out as the most complicated I’ve ever made, but there are definitely some that are time-consuming and can be a little daunting to deliver with their size. The fondant characters for cakes are usually the most time-consuming and can be difficult at times. I guess I would say the most challenging part for me is doing fondant characters and animals. Some customers will want their favorite animal on the cake and it is hard to make it look realistic while getting all of the small details correct. Making people out of fondant is another challenge. I sometimes worry because I want the cake to meet our customers’ expectations — and with fondant it’s not always easy to get those details exact. It sounds like things work out, though, right? In the end our customers always seem to be satisfied. We love to hear back that they

It sounds like you have a lot of fun. We do. We laugh daily and enjoy our time together. When you are not working, what are your hobbies? What do you love doing during your down time? We work more than the average full-time job and most of the time it doesn’t feel like work. We just love what we do. On our down time, we like to be home with our families. We like to go up to North Conway several times a year and hike and explore. Looking ahead, any changes for your business or trends you foresee in the industry? We hope to continue growing and be more involved with local charities. We want to constantly innovate and grow as the trends change. We want to stay on top of what the customers want. — Rob Levey Know someone awesome? If you know someone in the community who is doing great things, the Scene wants to know!

A: That’s a tough one. I would do John Wayne. I would have him co-star with Harrison Ford and it’s got to be in a Western.

A: Probably shop and look around, hope it clears up. If it does then go back to the beach.

DOUG FROM MANCHESTER, N.H.

MYRIAM FROM MONTREAL

Where I went: Applecrest Farm Orchards, an area specializing in pickyour-own fruits, restaurant, farmers market and more. The orchard is located at 133 Exeter Road in Hampton Falls, applecrest.com, 603-926-3721. What it is: Applecrest Farm Orchards specializes in all things farm and orchard. With a large farmers market that also hosts a bakery, restaurant, ice cream shop and more, this diverse 100-year-old orchard offers the freshest produce, delicious meal service and pick-your-own produce based on whatever happens to be in season at your time of visit. Applecrest is also New Hampshire’s oldest and largest apple orchard, according to its website. What I did: With the approach and passing by of Labor Day comes the annual tradition centuries old in this part of the country. The summer is sadly coming to an end, pumpkin spice flavors fill the shelves, a crispness fills the air and apples are ripe for the picking, and with this changing of the seasons comes the unspoken obligation put upon boyfriends across the New England region to take their girlfriends apple picking. That was my adventure this week. After researching orchards and through recommendations by local experts, my girlfriend Kristin and I narrowed our adventure down to the Granite State’s largest and oldest apple orchard, Applecrest Farm Orchards. We entered the main farmers market, where we met with the cashier to purchase a $20 peck-sized bag and directions to the orchard parking lot located half a mile down the road. After getting lost, missing the not-sodiscreet parking lot, making a U-turn down a nearby cul-de-sac and finally finding our way into the orchard, we began our quest to fill our peck with the reddest, roundest and ripest apples in the whole Seacoast area. Little did we know that we were a little too early for that. The two of us were advised to only pick from the trees marked with purple tags as those without the markers are still maturing and growing for the heart of the apple picking season. What we were left with was a rather scarce supply of a type of apple that neither of us had ever heard of before, but we maintained our determination after quickly

realizing that the best apples were located atop a not-so-short climb up the branches. I handed Kristin our bag, took to the skies and started picking … this, of course, before realizing that getting down might be trickier than getting up. With both of my hands full and her being too busy laughing at me and taking photographs, I was stuck. I was finally able to get her to stop laughing long enough to be able to throw the apples down, of which roughly half wound up in the bag, but we were satisfied enough with our plunder to be able to call it quits and just walk around for a while taking in the incredible scenery. The rows of trees truly seemed to go on forever and once we reached the peak of the summit of the orchard we turned to see the truly magnificent view of the main farm in the background of the rows upon rows of orchards before we made our way back to the car to take on our next adventure. Perhaps next time we will wait for peak apple season to go apple picking. … More realistically, however, we will end up finding our way into a pumpkin patch around mid-December. Who else would enjoy this: Apple picking is the quintessential late summer-early fall date for couples of all ages throughout New England. With the cool, crisp air and the endless buffet of apples to sample to your heart’s delight, there truly is no better way to enjoy a day in the New Hampshire outdoors this time of year — provided you don’t get too early a jump on the season like we did. With ice cream and plenty of events to keep children entertained, live musical performances and a quality dining experience, as well as a state-of-the-art farmers market and pick your own apples, blueberries, pumpkins, peaches and more, there really is something for everyone at Applecrest Farm Orchards and many other farms and orchards around the Seacoast.

With Labor Day having come and gone and kids returning for another year of school, campers typically start stowing their camping gear for the winter — but Amanda Allen, co-manager of operations at Hampton Falls’ Wakeda Campground in Hampton Falls, says it’s a mistake she wishes people wouldn’t make. According to Allen, the late summer and early fall are some the best times of the year to spend a weekend in the woods. “It’s something we tell people — September is a fantastic time to be here. The weather is really nice from a camping perspective. Campfires in the early fall are amazing; a nice, crisp night is fantastic for a campfire,” she said. “We get a lot of comments from people who are camping here in the fall that maybe hadn’t done it before who think it’s just great. They wait until the crowds leave and then they come and can take advantage of what really still is very nice weather.” Where the heart of the summer is seen as prime vacation time, those looking to avoid the rush of crowds swarming to the Seacoast area for the beaches and bonfires would find September to be prime time to spend a weekend away at one of the many campsites around the Hampton area, according to Allen. “The biggest thing is that you can get a really great experience without dealing with quite as many crowds as compared to what you would experience in the peak of the summer. Experience-wise it can be just as fantastic,” she said. Allen also noted the Seacoast’s proximity to fall-based activities such as apple- and pumpkin-picking, corn mazes and more. “We’ve got a ton of really cool orchards around us to really help embrace the fall,” she said. Wakeda co-owner Jan Hambleton agreed. “The Seacoast and Hampton Falls has a little bit of everything. It has the great outdoors: You hear the birds, you see the little chipmunks. It’s a nice place to be,” Hambleton said. “If you decide that you want to go and see the ocean then you can certainly head to Hampton Beach and the other beach-

es that might not be quite so busy. It’s nice to have variety. There’s really something for everybody.” Although the Seacoast is a location known for its tourism, Hambleton urges locals to consider the idea that you do not have to travel far to enjoy a weekend away, and that you can still enjoy the great outdoors without even packing a tent. “It is a great family activity. It’s great to be outdoors. You can camp in the pines in the woods and you can have your campfire and your s’mores. We have cabins and campsites and trailer sites and multiple things so even without a tent you can go camping,” Hambleton said. Allen said they’ve recently had returning campers who have started to “come around to the idea that they can still come camping in September [and] stretch out the summer a little bit.” “The summer is not over when Labor Day hits,” Allen said. — Andrew Clay Seacoast area campgrounds Wakeda Campground 294 Exeter Road, Hampton Falls 603-772-5274 Tent, RV and cabin Tidewater Campground 160 Lafayette Road, Hampton 603-926-5474 Tent and RV Twin Brooks Campground 211 Lower Collins St., Seabrook 603-474-5163 Seasonal tent and RV Pines Camping Area 28 Sand Hill Road, Salisbury 978-465-0013 Tent and RV Black Bear Campground 54 Main St., Salisbury 978-462-3183 Tent and RV

CAR TALK

Driving more won’t extend truck’s life your truck in the driveway is a pretty good plan for longevity. Sure, there’s rust. There’s drying out of rubber hoses, belts and tires. But that stuff will happen over time whether you drive the vehicle or not. What the visitor’s comment on our website was probably referring to is moisture in the exhaust system. If you drive the car for two miles, the exhaust system might not get hot enough to evaporate the moisture that condenses in there (your car’s exhaust contains water vapor that condenses when it hits the cold exhaust pipe). That condensation, if it doesn’t evaporate, will cause the exhaust system to rust and corrode prematurely. But an exhaust system is small potatoes compared to an engine or a transmission. You can also get moisture inside the engine on very short trips, but your oil is designed to hold moisture in suspension and protect the engine from corrosion. If that worries you, I’d switch to a synthetic oil, which will do a better job of holding moisture — and everything else. But you can’t drive your way to saving money. Remember, the more you drive, the more gas you have to buy. The more you drive, the more frequently you have to change the oil and do maintenance and repairs. And worst of all, the more you drive, the more like-

ly you are to pass a Chevy dealership and end up dropping 35 grand on a 2019 Chevy Colorado. Dear Car Talk: I’ve got a black 2004 Toyota Corolla. The last time I took it to the shop, my mechanic said my clutch was “a little sloppy.” He’s not one for long explanations, but I got the impression that meant I was getting close to needing a new one. What things can I do to keep a sloppy clutch “tidy” (i.e. last through grad school)? And how will I know when it needs replacing? Will there be a big bang or something? — Scott What your mechanic probably noticed, Scott, is that the clutch pedal is engaging near the top of its range. When the car was new, the clutch probably engaged when the pedal was about in the middle of its travel (halfway between the floor, and when it’s all the way up). Like the frog in the pot of water that’s slowly heating up (please don’t send hate mail, PETA friends, no frogs were harmed in the use of this metaphor), you haven’t noticed the change, because it changes by a microscopic amount every day. Your Corolla has a self-adjusting clutch. And as the clutch disc wears out, what you’ll notice is that the engagement point of the

pedal moves further and further from the floor. What your mechanic is telling you is that there’s not much adjustment room left and, at some point, you’ll need to replace the clutch. He’s probably licking his chops right now, poring over the Evinrude catalogue. How will you know when your time is up? Well, eventually the friction material on the clutch disc will be completely gone, and when you let out the clutch, the car won’t move. Before that, you probably will notice some slipping. When you step on the gas, you may notice that the engine speed goes up, but the car doesn’t seem to be going any faster. This would be particularly noticeable when going up hills in high gear, on hard acceleration, or when carrying two or more mothers-in-law in the back seat. That’s your sign to start taking night classes and move up your graduation date. And short of parking the car and not driving it, there’s not much you can do to extend the life of the clutch. If you drive well, and don’t “ride” the clutch (use a lot of gas and take a long time to engage each gear), you’re already doing what you can. Other than that, avoid stop-and-go traffic and hope you make it to graduation. Good luck, Scott. Visit Cartalk.com.

Dear Car Talk: While browsing cartalk.com recently (I had nothing better to do ... I was at work), I came across a user’s comment that a vehicle that is driven less than 10 By Ray Magliozzi miles per outing is more likely to develop engine problems. I hate to sound like “the little old lady who only drives to church on Sunday,” but I live less than two miles from my office and tend to loaf around the house most of the weekend. So my 2001 Chevy S-10 extended-cab pickup doesn’t get much of a workout most of the time. I love my little truck, and hope she lasts forever. I thought that by giving her such an easy life I was being good to her. Am I killing her with kindness? Do I need to take the long way to work once in a while or drive around aimlessly on evenings and weekends? — Pony No, you’re doing fine, Pony. Your truck is 17 years old. I’d say whatever you’re doing, it’s working. Cars and trucks wear out, primarily, from being used. When a car is in use, its pistons are scraping the cylinder walls, its suspension is getting banged around and its catalytic converter is slowly disintegrating. So leaving

AT THE GREEN ROOM (142 Ashworth Avenue, Hampton Beach, N.H.), a brand-new venture of the Fleury family, who also own The Goat, Wally’s and Bernie’s Beach Bar, is now open and serving healthy smoothies, juices and smoothie bowls, as well as a variety of breakfast and lunch options. We talked healthy beach eats with owner Erica Fleury and got the inside scoop on what she likes in her own smoothie bowl. How long has The Green Room been around? We opened July 19 [2018], so we got a late start to the season this year. I’ve always worked in restaurants, and I actually always wanted to open a smoothie shop, ever since I was younger. When we ended up with [this] space, we were going to have someone else take it over and just [rent to] tenants, but it didn’t work out, so I kind of just ran with it. What makes The Green Room unique? I don’t think that there’s anything quite like it, where [the] main focus is smoothie bowls and smoothies, [that’s] the main big seller. There’s a ton of breakfast places, but we wanted to put that as the main focus and also put out really great egg sandwiches. We have our bakery bagels delivered daily from Andyman [Dessert & Baking Co.] in Amesbury, and we have real eggs cooked on a flat top instead of microwaved, and a fresh product that I think you don’t find a lot of on the beach.

We also have lunch options — wonderful all-natural turkey and Black Forest ham. We have wraps, and you can have any of the deli sandwiches on bagels or wraps. What is your personal favorite dish? Definitely the smoothie bowls, which is surprising; I didn’t think I’d actually enjoy eating them as much as I do, but I’m addicted. I love all the toppings. I usually get a peanut buttery one. I like the Chai Like You bowl, and I put all the toppings on, so I like cacao nibs and peanut butter drizzle and bee pollen … all the stuff on top. What is a dish everyone should try? Not to say the same thing, but really, the smoothie bowls. It’s just a smoothie blended with more frozen fruit to make it a little bit thicker, like a sorbet-type consistency. Then we top it with granola, fresh fruit, and any kind of peanut butter, almond butter or Nutella drizzles. You can add tons of fun stuff, so if you haven’t tried it, definitely try it because they are amazing!

What is an essential skill to running a restaurant? I just think being consistent and putting out good, fresh, quality product. Also, customer service is huge. What we do with the other restaurants [we own], [is have] at least one [product] that you take to the next level to set yourself apart. Some eyecatching sort of shock-value-type product. We do the crazy frappes at The Goat, just something to draw you in.

What is your favorite part of being on the Seacoast? I love that it’s lively. I love being on vacation where it’s serene and quiet and nice, but I love that the beach is lively, it’s always something different. There are always new people to meet and fun things to do, and it’s active. Everybody’s doing stuff all day long. I love it. — Alison Downs

Experience a taste of “the emerald of the equator” at the largest Indonesian Festival in northern New England. The sixth annual celebration will take over Somersworth Middle School Saturday Sept. 8, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., in a region that hosts the largest Indonesian population in northern New England. The theme for this year’s celebration will be “bigger, better and bolder.” Live demonstrations will be performed by a variety of local cultural entertainers highlighted at the center of the fair, while Batik and Indonesian weaving workshops and dozens of food vendors will also be featured in the festivities this year. Performances will include traditional dancers, musical instruments and theatrics. “One of the highlights that we have coming in is the Berklee Indo Community, which is a music group of students that go to Berklee in Boston and are performing a lot of Indonesian traditional songs and a more modern type of music,” said Raude Raychel, president of the ICC (Indonesian Community Connect, Inc.). “We also have a group coming in from Philadelphia and they do a lot of traditional dances. This event is to present anything that has to do with Indonesia and we want to showcase the different traditions from the different islands of Indonesia.” Food vendors will be cooking regional delicacies such as chicken satay and rendang, which Raychel says is always the big highlight of the annual festival. Every year the ICC scours New England in search of the newest and most popular traditional Indonesian food vendors to bring to the festival. “We are trying to bring different highlights and different performers, different dances showcasing the different islands — but the No. 1 reason people come is for the food so we always try and get the new vendors that everyone loves,” said Raychel.

Local expert weavers will demonstrate the proper techniques of traditional weaving styles of the various Indonesian islands in hands-on demonstrations, and performers will be putting on interactive song and dance lessons throughout the length of the event. “All of the little things just add to it, the performers are new every year, it’s always different. New interactive themes and dances and just highlighting different cultures from all of the different islands of Indonesia,” said Raychel. A raffle will be held with the winner taking home a free trip to the islands of Indonesia. Raychel says, however, that she is the most excited about the opportunity to educate the public on a culture that means so much to her, and the ability to do so with the help of volunteers driven by nothing more than good will makes it all the more worth it. “It’s really just people with the heart and passion who really just want to do it and help us celebrate so when the festival is packed like it was last year and seeing everyone enjoying all of the little things going on and seeing the non-Indonesian people that are there and learning about the culture, it’s really rewarding,” she said.

The event is free and open to the public where everyone is welcome to attend and learn more about a culture that is so abundant around the surrounding towns. “We want to teach the public about Indonesia because the Indonesian population is so high in New Hampshire,” said Raychel. “From my perspective, if I had a lot of Indonesian friends that live around here then I would want to know what Indonesia is all about, so we feel like there is a need for an event like this and … bringing these communities together in celebration.” — Andrew Clay

I’ve been on something of a taco kick lately, and I have been searching my new town for great little places to find the delicious fare. Unfortunately, my bank account isn’t as in love with eating at new restaurants as I am, and I had to look for a recipe that would hit all the elements I love about tacos without breaking the bank — an effort helped by working with what was in my pantry. This recipe for a cheesy taco skillet was just what I needed. It had the crunch, the spice and the cheese, plus the hearty beans and chunky tomatoes that I love to add to all tacos. It proved pantry- and wallet-friendly, and most importantly it was delicious. In fact, after trying this recipe, I may eschew all other tacos (homemade or otherwise) in favor of this dish. I made a few tweaks to this recipe based on what I had in my pantry. Namely, I used minced onions while preparing the dish instead of garnishing with sliced green ones; I used shredded chicken instead of ground beef; and I reserved the cheese for individual helpings instead of melting it over the whole dish. While I love cheese unabashedly, my husband could take it or leave it, which means most of the time I leave heavy helpings of cheese off a dish and put it on my own plate instead.

Omitting the cheese and putting it on each serving helped the dish seem fresh each time I reheated it. I went back for seconds the night I made this, plus had it for lunch for the next two days — there’s no shame in my taco game. Not surprisingly, my entire family said they prefer this recipe to any of the quick-fix taco seasoning packets that I’ve used in the pe that will be a part of our family dinners for past. And with how simple this recipe was, the foreseeable future. — Lauren Mifsud and how quickly it came together, it’s a reciCheesy Taco Skillet Recipe courtesy of Delish 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1/4 cup sliced green onions, plus more for garnish 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 tablespoon ground cumin Kosher salt 1 pound ground beef (or turkey, shredded chicken or extra veggies) 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes 1 cup black beans 1 tablespoon hot sauce 1 cup shredded Monterey jack 1 cup shredded cheddar

My wife went to a local liquor store a couple weeks back and couldn’t find Samuel Adams Summer Ale. That was all she wanted, just some “Sam Summer” on a hot beach day. But there was no more Sam Summer. She asked, to her credit, “Is it because you’re already putting out pumpkin beer?” The manager laughed and informed her he had Octoberfest beers in the back that he couldn’t, in good conscience, put out yet. I’m glad they shared a laugh, but laughs don’t turn into Sam Summer. Aside from the fact that the first official day of fall isn’t until Sept. 22, I’m fairly certain it was actually 1,000 degrees just last week. I still want to drink summer beers and I think you should too. No self-respecting New Englander was drinking Octoberfest or other fall beers last week. That’s one of the things that’s great about the craft beer movement. Craft brewers can be a bit more nimble than industry giants. I’m not about to take shots at the big guys; the reality is that they’re brewing for a much larger national audience than your local neighborhood brewer, who can actually wait to introduce beers until it’s seasonally appropropriate. That means your local craft brewer is still treating it like it’s summer, whereas larger-scale producers like Samuel Adams are making the transition to fall. As we begin to make the transition from the summer drinking season to the fall drinking season, here are five New Hampshire brews to help summer linger:

The Scenic Session by 603 Brewery is an excellent summer time IPA. Courtesy photo.

Scenic Session by 603 Brewery (Londonderry) One of the things that has made IPAs so popular is that you can drink them all year-round, on the hottest days and on the coldest days. I find session IPAs to be the perfect antidote to a late summer day. 603’s Scenic Session is a New England style IPA, so you get that haziness and that juiciness in a little lighter package. Kapitöl Kölsch by Concord Craft Brewing (Concord) A Kölsch is always a fit for a hot summer day: clean, light, crisp and refreshing. This golden ale, which comes in at 5.3-percent ABV, has a subtle sweetness and a smooth finish that begs to be enjoyed at the beach. This is easy drinking at its best. Pompadour by Resilience Brewing, Schilling Beer Co.’s American Ale Project (Littleton) If I had to name my favorite New Hampshire brew, I think this would be my choice. Beyond my personal affinity for it, it’s a perfect summertime pale ale characterized by brilliant citrus and peach flavors. This is wonderfully complex — hoppy enough to please “hop-heads,” but entirely approachable. At 5.6-percent ABV, I invite you to have more than one.

You Can Get Wit This by Stoneface Brewing Co. (Newington) Stoneface calls this its “perfect warm weather beer,” and it’s highlighted by big citrus flavors stemming from the addition of blood oranges. The orange flavor lingers on this 4.8-percent ABV witbier. I give you permission to have Jeff Mucciarone is a senior account a couple. executive with Montagne Communications, where he provides communications She Sells Seashells by Throwback support to the New Hampshire wine and Brewery (North Hampton) spirits industry. I’ve actually seen people add a little salt to their beer, usually a Bud Light or What’s in My Fridge something along those lines. I never quite Steel Rail Pale Ale by Berkshire Brewing understood what was going on there but Co.: I was recently at a wedding in western this salted and dry-hopped blonde ale is Massachusetts where the Steel Rail Pale Ale particularly intriguing.

POP CULTURE

A River of Stars by Vanessa Hua (Ballantine Books, 304 pages)

of questionable repute for pregnant Chinese women based in Los Angeles. Right off the bat, the absurdity of Scarlett’s situation will have readers guiltily stifling their laughter. Most pregnant women are given preferential treatment in public spaces, but when they’re surrounded by other pregnant women, who is entitled to extra pampering? The fact that Scarlett is a working-class mistress treated with equal respect by the owner of Perfume Bay makes Scarlett’s wealthy peers rife with jealousy. But when Scarlett receives shocking news from one of her sonograms, she knows Boss Yeung will not only pull the plug on her stay in Perfume Bay but also make her return to China a living hell. A house full of hormonal mothers-to-be is a powder keg ready to explode, and it only makes sense that the inciting match is a woman going into early labor. From there, the novel fast-forwards into a getaway chase. During the confusion, Scarlett steals a van, gives misdirection to strangers to throw the Perfume Bay boss and Boss Yeung off her trail, and discovers teenage stowaway and fellow Perfume Bay resident Daisy. Daisy has all but been

while the need to financially support themselves becomes pressing. Hua elegantly ties together threads about the difficulties of immigration, the fierce power of motherhood, the determination of an entrepreneur and the undying bond of friendship. This poignant novel also reads as a fun romp. Readers see the lows of dirty diapers and swindling immigration lawyers, but they also see the highs of a successful food cart venture and babies discovering the world for the first time. As with this summer’s rom-coms, audiences will root for the protagonist to come out on top of their obstacles and get the happy ending. The ending thrums with hope and makes readers believe in a better tomorrow. A — Katherine Ouellette

This summer, Crazy Rich Asians has taken the silver screen by storm as To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before has made similar waves on the small screen. From the opulence of Singapore to the awkward fishbowl experiences of high school, American audiences have gotten the chance to engage with sympathetic Asian-American leads. It’s refreshing to see the stories of Chinese American and mixed-race Korean American women told to broad audiences at a time where Hollywood insists on whitewashing characters intended as Asian. And at a time when immigration is more hotly contested than ever, it’s exciting to see a novel that engages with the hardships that immigrants face while maintaining a satirical wit, situational humor and straightforward laugh lines. On its face, A River of Stars is a pullyourself-up-by-your-bootstraps story of single mother Scarlett Chen. In China, she escaped her rural upbringing and became a supervisor at a factory, where she fell into a passionate love affair with the older, married Boss Yeung. (Throughout the novel, she always refers to him as such, despite conceiving a child with him. First and foremost, that is his defining trait as a character, a class above Scarlett, driven home by the fact that he and his “legitimate” daughter also think of him as “Boss Yeung.”) Hua thoughtfully examines survival, China’s one-child policy and the American dream through flashbacks told throughout the story. The more Scarlett forges a life for herself and the child on American soil, the more she can relate to her own single mother, with whom she had a difficult relationship. But the darkness of Scarlett’s past is contrasted with the potential brightness of her future, and her child’s, in the United States. The story begins with the eight-monthspregnant Scarlett at Perfume Bay, a “spa”

disinherited by her Taiwanese parents for getting pregnant with a boy she has only met twice, so the 30-something Scarlett finds herself on a Thelma and Louiselike rescue mission. The two make an effort to escape Los Angeles and dissolve into the San Francisco Chinatown landscape, which is difficult for them to do as heavily pregnant women with matching jumpsuits. But the community quickly bands together to help Scarlett and Daisy find an apartment, safely deliver their babies at a hospital to guarantee their children’s American citizenship, and supply them with endless groceries and diapers. Now Scarlett and Daisy struggle to keep up with the monumental and ludicrous physical demands of new motherhood

In person, Freevolt front man Michael Bernier comes off as the chillest guy on the planet. The positivity of the dreadlocked and smiling singer, songwriter, guitarist and musical entrepreneur is contagious, so much that he’s in demand as a motivational speaker, appearing at up to 75 events a year. Here’s the thing, though: Bernier is one of the busiest guys around. One minute he’s booking talent in a myriad of clubs, like Metzy’s Cantina and Michael’s Harborside in his hometown of Newburyport, where he also recruits talent for the annual Yankee Homecoming celebration. Then there’s Evolvement Music, a syndicated web show he hosts weekly with an equally upbeat supporting cast. It moved from radio to all video this year and is one of the regional music scene’s most vital concerns, welcoming new talent to perform live in the studio and spreading the word about new releases and upcoming events. His band released a new album, Open Up Your Door, in January. Bernier followed that up in May with “Feel the Sunshine,” a duet single with Toft Willingham of Spiritual Rez. The song’s lyrics reflect Bernier’s ebullient optimism. “It feels so good to be alive,” he sings. “With a vision, a mission, a goal in sight you will always feel the sunshine.” Bernier is always searching for the next project. “Once I find something and figure out how to manage it, I’m immediately looking for something else,” he said as he sipped an IPA at a sidewalk table in Newburyport, his hometown. “Ultimately, everything I’m doing is part of trying to make the world a better place.” Freevolt formed after Bernier dissolved his previous band The Uprising and left the country to live in the jungle to collect his thoughts for a while. He returned more committed to being a musician and began recruiting like-minded players to join his cause. The five-man band now does 80 shows a year. That’s fewer than previous years, but Freevolt is doing it with more success, the result of working smarter, not harder. “We eliminated the bar room situation, so now we’re playing legitimate venues or outside,” Bernier said. “Music-friendly places.” One long-term project is booking the live music at Newburyport Brewing, including the Funk and Jam Out Festival, returning for its fifth year on Saturday, Sept. 8. The all-day show’s formula is well-established: Bernier finds a headliner with a jammy bent, his own band provides support, and local performers fill out the bill. This year features NYC favorites Consider

the Source, a band Freevolt met on the festival circuit. “I’m trying to define what is funk and what is jam, and they’re total jam, but unique,” he said. “There’s a science to it, it’s super-technical, and they do it.” Also playing is Quadrafunk, a South Shore quartet with a bio claiming they’re “fueled by grilled cheese and funk butter,” along with jazz jam veterans Amorphous Band. Freevolt will provide a solid helping of funk; with the addition of guitarist Nicco Centofanti three years ago, and saxophone player Jonathan Bousquet, who joined last year, the quintet is playing tighter than ever. The new disc features layers of soul atop the band’s roots, rock and reggae sound, along with passages of almost progressive jazz-fusion from the dexterous Centofanti. “He can do everything,” Bernier said. “He’s really into as many notes as you can fit onto the grid. He views it as technical math. It’s a real thing; I wasn’t aware of it. … He can fill it in instead of playing quarter notes.” The results from the Berklee-trained shredder are Zappa-esque in complexity. Bousquet’s horn-playing propels “Pound of Love,” a crowd favorite that’s introduced with a double entendre that would make Bob Marley smile. “I start off like I’m telling a serious story about being out on the street selling pounds,” Bernier said with smile. “It gets quiet and they’re like, ‘He’s talking about weed?’ and I say, ‘of love’ and it’s like the record skips.” That’s consistent with Bernier’s “good good” philosophy. “We never have enough love,” he said. “We always gotta re-up our supply.” — Michael Witthaus

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Unusual hobby

Social media have given us the dubious opportunity to document all manner of celebratory, mournful, hilarious and contemplative events. And so they have opened the door to fame for “Paul Flart” (real name: Doug), a 31-year-old hospital security guard who took to Instagram in March to share with the world his “sphincter sirens.” Flart spent a lot of time sitting around at the front desk with nothing to do, but, he noticed, “The lobby has really great acoustics, and naturally, we all fart. One day I ripped a rather nice one and got really good sound from it, so the next time it happened I recorded it and sent it to my group chat.” Those lucky friends encouraged him to go viral and helped him choose his Insta handle, Paul Flart. Today, he’s racked up more than 20,000 followers, according to Vice. Unfortunately, hospital management isn’t among them, and on Aug. 23, Flart was fired from his job. But he’s not deflated; he plans to expand his reach: “We can do Paul Flart on vacation, you know, throw in like a Hawaiian shirt and a hat ... and then just fart around Florida.”

Bright idea

Jeffrey Tomerlin, 45, was charged with assault on Aug. 19 after he hurled a soft, fluffy, edible weapon at his ex-girlfriend. When Tomerlin saw his ex in a car with her new boyfriend, he walked up to her window and threw a biscuit at her face. He also charged the car, banging on it and saying he would kill them, reported WKRN, earning additional charges of public intoxication and vandalism. It was not clear whether the biscuit damaged the ex-girlfriend’s face.

Florida. Says it all

On Aug. 20, the Miami Herald endorsed Republican Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, who was running to replace Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen to represent a district that includes parts of Miami and Miami Beach. (She lost her primary bid on Aug. 28.) Rodriguez Aguilera has been a city official and a business executive, the Herald noted, but conceded, “We realize that Rodriguez Aguilera is an unusual candidate.” Before she was a candidate, Rodriguez Aguilera appeared on Spanish-language television programs to talk about her experience of being abducted by aliens when she was 7 years old. Three beings, two women and a man who reminded her of Jesus Christ, spoke to her “telepathically” and took her aboard their spaceship. Inside, she saw “round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship,” and she said she has communicated with them several times since then. However, editorial page editor Nancy Ancrum didn’t think Rodriguez Aguilera’s beliefs or past expe-

riences compromised her as an effective public servant. “Here’s why we chose her: She’s not crazy,” Ancrum told The Washington Post. “I don’t think we went off the rails here.”

the Chengdu car dealership on Aug. 16, where he had allegedly put down a 10,000 yuan payment. Tang asked the group to wait there while he went to get the cash, but instead, according to Shanghaiist, he went to a supermarket and bought a fruit knife. Outside, he found a secluded spot Owwww! Mohamad Zayid Abdihdy, 24, declared and cut up his own arms, then called Yang that he’s “going back to hookah” after a fiery incident on Aug. 25 involving his e-cigarette. The cellphone store worker was in an HDTV Outlet store in Anaheim, California, buying a new television when the smoking device exploded in his pants pocket. “The gentleman, he is running ... and he is screaming and yelling,” store manager Antelmolare Guzman told NBC4. “Apparently, all of his right leg was completely burnt all the way down. Part of his private parts were also kind of affected.” While Abdihdy ran to the restroom to see to his burns, Guzman put out the still-flaming e-cig on the store’s floor. Abdihdy, who did not go to the hospital, said he still can’t walk on his leg.

and said he had been robbed at knifepoint of the 750,000 yuan he had supposedly withdrawn for the car. While her brothers took Tang to the hospital, Yang waited for police, who eventually excised the story from Tang. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail and a 500 yuan fine. Visit newsoftheweird.com.

The meth made me do it

Mason Tackett of Floyd County, Kentucky, told WYMT that neighbors called him on Aug. 26 to say his cousin, Phillip Hagans, was carrying items out of Tackett’s house. When Tackett returned home, he said, “It looked like he was packing up for a yard sale when he come out.” Hagans was “lying, throwing his hands, saying stuff like, ‘I didn’t do it. I didn’t do it.’ ... He did pull a gun on me,” Tackett said. But what he really couldn’t understand was Hagans’ choice of items to steal: a cheese grater, an empty Lysol bottle and soap. “Who steals a cheese grater?” Tackett asked. “He stole my soap. Who steals soap? ... Must have been a bad batch (of methamphetamine) around here ‘cause Floyd County has gone crazy in the last four days.” Hagans was charged with receiving stolen property and being a convicted felon with a firearm.

Sorry you missed it

At least one competitor dressed up as Donald Trump at the World Gravy Wrestling Championships in Lancashire, England, on Aug. 27. As grapplers slipped and slid in the slimy mess, even the referee got toppled a few times. United Press International reported that both men and women participated to support the East Lancashire Hospice.

Extreme measures

A man named Tang from Sichuan Province, China, promised his girlfriend, Yang, that he would buy an expensive luxury car for her. The only problem was that he didn’t have the money. So he cooked up a scheme, inviting Yang and her brothers to

PET OF THE WEEK Foster family needed! Red is a very special thoroughbred gelding who has been in and out of our care at the New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham for several years. Recently, Red sustained a significant soft tissue injury that requires 8 to 10 months of rest and rehabilitation. This injury has temporarily derailed Red’s riding career, but with careful rehab and strengthening, we are hopeful that Red may be able to resume very light riding within a year or so. Red is a very special boy who has spent far too much time at our shelter! We are currently seeking an experienced foster home where Red can rest and recuperate in a less stressful environment. Red is a busy boy and requires an experienced handler who is confident with ground work exercises and long lining and experienced with rehabbing active horses. This big, goofy guy deserves the opportunity to enjoy a bit of the good life while he heals! If you would be willing to open your heart and your barn to Red, please contact our Equine and Farm Program Manager at cfyfe@nhspca.org or call 603-772-2921 ext. 124. *Foster homes must be located within the state of New Hampshire.
