A WORD FROM LARRY

Master McGrath’s

Autumn arrives Well, autumn begins this weekend! I guess we can say it was a good summer, although as always it felt like a very short season. And August has to go down in the books as being a very humid Larry Marsolais month! Fall is a very busy time of the year, with festivals, fairs, apple picking, pumpkins, Halloween and many more things to do. Continue to read the Seacoast Scene for updates of things going on in your community. As I have said in the past, Halloween is special for me. We start decorating our yard next week so it is ready for Oct. 1. Keep an eye on the Scene over the next few weeks; I am pretty sure I might be able to get a picture in.

I have to give a big shout out to Hampton Rotary, of which I am a member. We are just finishing our fundraising events, which are mostly in September, and it was an incredible month. As a co-chairman for one of these events I think I can speak for the entire leadership group and give a big thank you to the members, friends and everyone else who helped us. We ask a lot from our members in a two-week span but at the end Hampton Rotary will be able to help out many in our local community! One more rotary event coming up; see page 29. As always feel free to call me anytime at 603-935-5096 to discuss local issues or to place an ad.

Larry Marsolais is the general manager of the Seacoast Scene and the former president of the Hampton Rotary Club.

“No dogs allowed” is the prevailing rule on many New Hampshire beaches during the heat of the summer. But as summer turns to fall and the crowds head home, pups can set paw back on many local beaches, which means the rest of the year offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the Seacoast with your four-legged family member. Along with sandy beaches, there are plenty of other places along the coast that are canine-friendly too, from hiking trails to restaurants. Check out this list of some of the best ways to spend the day with your pooch.

Dogs on the beach

Here’s the lowdown on some of the dogrelated rules at beaches on the coast.

State beaches

Where dogs are not permitted on state beaches annually from May 1 to Sept. 30, the offseason leaves time for the dogs between Oct. 1 and April 30 of each year (although pets are never permitted at North Hampton State Beach or at Odiorne Point State Park). There are still a handful of laws in place during the off-season to ensure these beaches remain clean and safe, including a leash policy that requires all animals remain on their

SEACOAST SCENE | SEPTEMBER 20 - 26, 2018 | PAGE 6

leashes at all times and that they be no more than six feet long. All waste must be immediately cleaned, and animals can never be left unattended. “I think the laws are the only way that they can be,” said John White, Hampton native and dog owner. “There are just too many people around and not everybody is a good dog owner. I can’t imagine so many dogs running the beach while there are more people here, so I have to agree with them.” John Riley, owner of Seacoast Lucky Dog Daycare, said that as a father and a dog owner, he too understands why the

rules are the way they are. “Some dogs aren’t trained, some dogs can’t handle stuff like that, so I do think that the safety precaution of keeping dogs off the beach, especially with a lot of kids around … who may not know how to act around dogs — I see why they do it,” Riley said. “On the other hand, it does stink having a beautiful beach here and not being able to bring your dog there all the time.”

Plaice Cove, Hampton

This blink-and-you’ll-miss-it beach is the hidden gem of Hampton, according to hamptonbeachguide.com. Also 7

6 known as North Side Park, this local favorite is only recognizable by the wooden sign marking its location, and is inaccessible to out-of-towners thanks to a strictly enforced residents-only parking permit. Spend time with your dog tidepooling and exploring the rocky outcroppings scattering the shoreside. Dogs are only allowed in North Side Park from Labor Day to Memorial Day, and during the heat of the beach season from Memorial Day to Labor Day are only allowed to explore the park before 6 a.m. and after 8 p.m.

Bass Beach, Rye

Between Causeway Road and Central Road and owned by the Town of Rye is a small stretch of rocky surfing and fishing beach popular with locals and fairly difficult parking known as Bass Beach. This spot is also popular among dog lovers at all times during the offseason but during the summer dogs are only permitted between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m. This beach is a fine mix of sand and stone so remember your water shoes and your leash due to the leash law that is in effect throughout the entire town of Rye. With no facilities to be found at Bass Beach it is a good idea to pack plenty of water for both your dog and yourself, as well as waste bags to collect any waste.

Sawyer’s Beach, Rye

Hidden along the picturesque Sea Road and tucked behind a tall, natural rock wall is Sawyer’s Beach in Rye. Similar to the other town beaches of Rye, dogs are allowed on a leash at all times of the day during the offseason, and between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m from the Saturday before Memorial Day to the first Saturday after Labor Day. A residential sticker is required to be able to park along the road behind the beach, and this is known as yet another popular surfing destination amongst locals so finding parking will be a challenge during the summer months. This hidden gem

108622

is popular amongst locals and is a nice spot to bring any water-loving pooch looking to get their feet wet in the frigid Atlantic waters. Sawyer’s Beach does not have any facilities and enforces strict leash and mess cleanup laws.

Foss Beach, Rye

Yet another Rye hotspot for pet and dog lovers alike is Foss Beach. As it is located adjacent to a state park beach in Wallis Sands, one must be aware of the boundaries while walking their dogs up and down the shoreline. Again similar to all Rye beaches, dogs are allowed on a leash at all times of the day during the offseason, and between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m from the Saturday before Memorial Day to the first Saturday after Labor Day. The Town of Rye, again, enforces strict leash and mess cleanup laws with fines being up around $1,000 as a pet poop penalty. Parking at Foss Beach is much more accessible as a connecting free parking lot is located across a wooden ramp leading down to the beach from the complex.

Seabrook Beach, Seabrook

At the triple intersection of the New Hampshire and Massachusetts border and where the sea meets the land is one of the best dog beaches in the Seacoast at Seabrook Beach. The town of Seabrook allows leashed dogs to roam the beach between Memorial Day and Labor Day from the early evening until mid-morning. Dogs are allowed to swim, fetch and play along the water to their heart’s content as long as they are on a leash. Parking is the only difficulty at Seabrook Beach as during the heat of the summer season streetside parking is designated for residents only. The sandy beaches and picturesque grassy sand dunes make for a great place to spend the day with any water-loving pooch. One unique aspect of Seabrook Beach is 8

Heading south across the border into Massachusetts is Salisbury Beach, which is dog-friendly along the Merrimack River side of the reservation year-round, and along the beach outside of April 1 to Sept. 15 annually. Many attractions can be found along Salisbury Beach including a boardwalk, a picnic area, camping areas, restrooms, a playground and much more. From Memorial Day to Halloween, parking at Salisbury Beach costs $14 for state residents and $20 for out-of-state license plates. The park offers opportunities for swimming, boating, fishing, camping and more. The park, similar to New Hampshire parks, has strict leash and mess cleanup laws.

Along the Hampton Beach boardwalk is Ashworth by the Sea, a hotel that has stood the test of time and has been in operation for over 100 years, according to the hotel’s website. Although the hotel does not allow dogs during the peak of the summer months, they are permitted between Labor Day weekend and Memorial Day for an additional $25. This has been the case for as long as Eileen Menard, the director of sales at Ashworth by the Sea, can remember. “In the offseason I think people see the opportunity to visit the beach and take a walk with their pet,” she said. “I think the hotel and the beach are the real attractions during the offseason. People take advantage of our lower rates and bring their pets to take them on a walk along the beach.” Menard acknowledges that the summer months are not typically attractive for customers to bring their pets due to the lack of options available for dogs through the peak of the season.

Hampton Beach Boardwalk

Ashworth by the Sea, Hampton

While dog laws may be strict about bringing your pooch onto the sandy beaches of Hampton during the peak of the summer, dogs are welcome at all times of the year behind the sand along the boardwalk. Dogs must remain leashed but there are doggycleanup stations scattered throughout the location. “We’ve been here for 24 years and they [dogs Bo and Ty] have been here all their lives,” said White, “Bo is 7, Ty is 6 and they’ve been doing this since they were little puppies. They’ve been meeting everybody on the boardwalk, running the beach and doing their thing. It’s great.”

Grab an Old Brown Dog with your old brown dog at Smuttynose Brewery. The brewery is wrapping up their first summer of allowing dogs in their beer garden, but has always welcomed four-legged companions around the rest of their outdoor facilities including their back field, trailer park and disc golf course, according to Chelsey Puffer the digital media specialist at Smuttynose Brewery. “One of the huge reasons why we started opening our facility to dogs is because we have noticed that other places don’t provide that opportunity, especially in the summer,” said Puffer. “We’re all dog people at this brewery. We all love having our dogs with us, and it’s kind of like a ‘Why not?’ Why not allow people to come in with their dog and have a meal? We just want people to be comfortable and to be able to have a fun experience with 10

We have beers named after dogs; we love dogs,” said Puffer. The facility is not allowed to permit dogs at events exceeding 500 people, and all dogs must remain on a leash at all times while at the Smuttynose facility. Puffer says she has noticed that the Seacoast area is in the process becoming more dog-friendly and hopes it will continue.

Throwback Brewery, North Hampton

122147

North Hampton’s Throwback Brewery also welcomes leashed furry companions into their beer garden, and has ever since the brewery’s opening back in 2011, according to co-founder and president Nicole Carrier. “We’re dog people. Most of our employees have dogs. I know personally I like

to bring my dog places and especially if they’re well-behaved and like hanging out with their parents then there’s no reason in my mind why they shouldn’t be able to hang out on the farm here,” said Carrier. Throwback says that they provide water bowls and chew toys for any four-legged visitors. Throwback Brewery is located on 12 acres of working farm land that has been in operation since 1860, according to throwbackbrewery.com. The brewery has called Hobbs Farm its home since 2012, and houses animals including goats, pigs, donkeys and heirloom chickens within its property. “It just kind of fits with the whole vibe here. We are on a farm, we do have animals everywhere and I feel like a lot of beer people are dog people. People call us every week asking if they can bring their dogs,” said Carrier.

10 four-hour tours have been allowing pets with experienced sea legs aboard their vessels for at least the last 26 years, according to Captain Jonathan Gwalthney. “As long as they’ve been on a boat before and are comfortable with the idea of being in a large group of people then they are more than welcome,” he said. “Part of it is just the safety thing of people leaving dogs in cars during vacation. We don’t want to encourage them to leave a dog in a hot car in the parking lot.” Where one might assume that whales would be the animals piquing the interest of these pups, Gwalthney says that it is typically the dolphins that initiate the biggest reaction from the dogs. “This is because dolphins communicate with clicks and whistles that are within the hearing threshold of dogs — the high-pitch frequency,” said Gwalthney. For those worried about nature running its course while on the ship, Gwalthney says that there is nothing to worry about. “Four hours for most dogs is within the time that they’re comfortable,” he said. “They do occasionally have accidents; that’s one of the reasons why we ask that they stay on the lower deck. That way it only becomes a one-deck incident ... but it doesn’t happen frequently.” Take advantage of the end of an especially good whale season before the ships conclude their annual tours on Sunday, Oct. 7; Gwalthney noted that the past five years have been some of the best times of the year to see whales along the coast of New Hampshire.

Trail walks

There are various hiking trails around the Seacoast region, including these four that offer great opportunities to walk with your dog.

120960

White’s Lane Nature Trail/ Warren’s Trail, Hampton

In 2003 a trail was opened at the corner of White’s Lane with the combined efforts of Winnacunnet High School and the Eagle Scouts in memory of a former Hampton resident who lost his life during World War I, according to the Hampton Library website. This quarter-mile trail is popular with bikers and walkers and continues on to connect with various other trails throughout the town of Hampton. Compared to others in the area, according to bringfido.com, this section of the trails is particularly dogfriendly. Leash and cleanup laws are strict.

Wagon Hill Farm, Durham

Durham is home to Wagon Hill Farm, a 139-acre property found three miles east of downtown along Route 4. There, visitors will find a variety of trails and opportunities for activities including walking, kayaking, sledding and snowshoeing. The location also accompanies year-round dogwalking with sites overlooking the scenic Great Bay. Dogs must be leashed all hours except between 8 and 10 a.m. where they are allowed to run freely as long as they remain under the voice control of their owners. The Wagon Hill Farm website notes also notes that “owners are responsible for proper removal of dog droppings, a pollutant to the Bay as well as a nuisance to other visitors. A pet waste station and trash cans are provided to assist with this.”

Dover Community Trails, Dover

At the southeast point of Fisher Street in Dover sits the entrance of the Dover Community trails, which host roughly 3.8 miles of dog-friendly hiking opportunities. This trail will lead guests north through Dover along the Cocheco River and through historical and scenic sites located throughout the city including train depots and tracks, bridges and more. 13

Adam’s Point, Durham

Durham is home to Adam’s Point Trail, a three-quarter-mile loop hike labeled as moderate in difficulty that brings travelers along the scenic coast of the Great Bay.

Dogs are permitted but must be leashed and cleaned up after. The area is known for bird-watching, according to alltrails. com, and is relatively flat altogether. The location is popular amongst dog walkers according to local resident Aiden O’Brien.

Seacoast Lucky Dog Daycare in Hampton Falls prides itself on never crating or kenneling any of their animals and providing them a third of an acre of artificial turf, fenced in space filled with a sandbox, a seesaw, tunnels, a slide, ramps and boxes to keep the dogs stimulated throughout the day, according to Riley.

vous, because they’ve been around dogs, so when you do take your dog to the beach, you’re not fearful that your dog is going to bite other dogs because you know that they are around dogs constantly. Especially for younger dogs, it’s good for them to get out and see how dogs interact,” he said.

MARIA LAMBERT REARDON OWNER OF SEACOAST FLORIST IN HAMPTON tourists who come in the center of town. Stores like Home Depot, Hannaford, Shaw’s, Hobby Lobby and others have greatly affected the florist business. There is no way to compete with the wholesale prices they can provide.

What is the most challenging part of your job? The most challenging and largest part of my job is weddings and funerals. Both unique in their own way. These events are so important because you do not get a second chance. It must be intense preparing for a wedding, right? With weddings, it is a joyous time to be creative and meet my couple’s inspiration, colors, flower choice and make their vision come true within their budget. We specialize in suggesting flowers in season to give them their specific feel and flair. How do you handle the tough events, like funerals? Yes, funerals are the most emotional and difficult time for families. Some are in such pain. They need guidance in their choices for their loved ones. I feel honored to be chosen to be a small part of these special moments in designing their floral remembrance.

Your business is still doing well, though? My business is still doing well because of our loyal customers and people who support small businesses. Our wedding and function business has increased greatly by extending our area to include surrounding states. That is great. Do you have any favorite flowers? Yes, my favorite flower is Cymbidium Orchid.

How did you get here to Hampton? My aunt and uncle bought a house in Hampton in 1962, and I summered here every year since then. When my twins graduated from college, I was able to fulfill my dream and move to Hampton.

Why is that your favorite flower? Tell us a little about it. My favorite flower is the green Cymbidium Orchid for no special reason other than I have always been drawn to its shape, fragrance and how long it lasts. Flowers are such a personal preference. It is by no means anything special.

How did this shop come about? I was moving to Hampton and had an interview for a floral designer. After that, I had always loved the small shop in the center of town, so I walked into Seacoast Florist and asked for a job. The owner at the time, Cindy Willis, said the business was for sale. I bought the shop and owned it 28 days later.

When you are not working, what do you do for fun? My hobbies include spending time with my children and dogs, relaxing, painting and most of all traveling with my loved ones. I am looking forward to being a grandmother someday and enjoying days at the ocean. — Rob Levey

That is awesome. When did this all take place? It has been five wonderful years.

Any trends in your business these past five years? Yes, actually. The business has changed greatly. There are not as many

How did you get involved in this line of business? I learned floriculture the old-fashioned way by starting over 25 years ago in my best friend’s sister’s flower shop in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, where I would help out during the holidays. I was always an artist working in acrylic, watercolor and oil mediums but fell in love with living design. I also took classes to further my knowledge and have worked with some of the best designers in New England.

ADVENTURE

Andrew’s

Adventure By Andrew Clay Where I went: Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge to walk the two-mile Ferry Way Trail Loop off 29-1 Merrimac Drive in Newington. What it is: The Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge consists of over 1,000 acres of protected lands surrounding the eastern shore of the Great Bay and is home to endangered and rare wildlife. The area affords visitors the opportunity to watch wildlife, hike, bike and more. The refuge is managed by Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, and the Ferry Way Trail Loop is one of many free hiking trails within the preserve. What I did: I am geographically and directionally challenged. I have been my entire life, but I have never let this get in the way of my love for hiking and exploring the woods. Luckily for me I have yet to get too legitimately lost (knock on wood). As I entered the parking lot for the Ferry Way Loop, I was confused. The parking lot was attached to a hiking trail, but it was not the one that I was looking for; this one wanted to lead me to the entrance of Peverly Pond Trail. Further research led me across the street to the edge of an intimidating-looking chain link barbed wire fence of an old military weapons storage area that has since been decommissioned. Unsure of myself, I followed the paved path farther along the old outpost and into the

woods. My guess was confirmed as I approached a sign labeling the nearby chewed gravel and grass path as the Ferry Way Loop, and with that my adventure began. Knowing that this protected land was labeled as a wildlife sanctuary, I had high hopes. The first thing I noticed as I trudged down the surprisingly well-kept path was the abundance of birds around me. Their chirps and calls stole the show from the start, and feathers lay fallen and shed along the path even within the first couple of feet into the trek. After passing a beaver pond, I was faced with a choice as the path split in two. One way had me continuing forward, while the other would take me across a wooden bridge into a field. I chose the bridge until noticing halfway across that a rafter of turkeys (yes, that is the technical term View from Ferry Way Trail Loop.

ate in difficulty, the fairly flat, extremely well-kept and established path provided no difficulties for me. I would even go as far as to say that it would be up to the standards of being wheelchair-accessible, though I would not recommend it due to the length of the hike, and at any given time there may be more natural debris on the path. This walk exceeded my expectations in regard to wildlife encounters. Although I was not going out of my way to watch birds, their presence was clear, and the fact that I saw as many animals as I did was very impressive. Nature and wild animal enthusiasts, especially birdwatchers, would thoroughly enjoy this hike, as well as anyone looking to get a little bit of exercise. The only con, for me, is that dogs are not allowed, although admittedly the presence of dogs might scare away some of the natural wildlife.

Thirty-five years ago one of the first children’s museums in the country opened its doors in Portsmouth. In 2008 the museum was relocated to Dover to a facility that more than quadrupled the size of the original. The museum, formerly known as the Children’s Museum of Portsmouth, was renamed the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in an effort to better serve children and families throughout the Granite State, according to Jane Bard, the president of the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire. “We were able to add not only more exhibit experiences but also classroom spaces. We also expanded our efforts to reach out to communities that were not able to visit us by taking the museum on the road through outreach programs to libraries and schools,” she said. In celebration of the changes and evolutions of the museum throughout its 35-year history, the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire will host a free family fun day Saturday, Sept. 22. “We will be bringing back some of our favorite activities,” said Bard. “We have a miniature version of that. We will be bringing back some of our favorite handson activities in the STEAM lab, and we will be bringing Books Alive character Curious George to the museum for meetand-greet times throughout the day.” The event will serve as the maiden voyage for a new exhibit, “One World,” which brings three popular immigrant cultures from around New Hampshire to the forefront of hands-on education. “It will focus on the cultures from Indonesia, India and Mexico. Children will be able to shop for food in the market and bring it to the cafe to prepare and serve. They’ll be able to choose musical instruments, masks, clothing, and bring it to a festival in celebration of those three

areas of the world. It’s really an immersive sensory experience,” said Bard. The free celebration, Bard said, is one way of giving back to a community that has supported the museum’s efforts over the past 35 years. “Thirty percent of our visitors do come for free or reduced admission, but we have never hosted an outright free day for everyone in the community,” she said. “We feel that it is really important to open our doors to welcome and celebrate the past 35 years and highlight all of

the exciting changes that we have and will continue to make to the museum over the coming years.” Bard hopes that the event will attract families who have never had the opportunity to spend a day at the museum, as well as families who have explored the different exhibits. “As children grow and change, the way that they experience the museum and exhibits grows and changes as well,” she said. — Andrew Clay

CAR TALK

Confusion over order of steps for parking on a hill Dear Car Talk: In a column from 2012, your recommendation when parking on a hill was to set the parking brake first, then By Ray Magliozzi put the transmission in park. In one of your recent columns, the order was: put the car in park first, then apply the parking brake. To drive away, both columns indicate that the lever should be shifted into gear and then the parking brake released. I checked the manuals for our two family cars (a Toyota Corolla and a Hyundai Elantra), and those two sets of instructions had opposite orders too! What’s the correct order? Parking brake then “P,” or “P” and then parking brake? Thank you! — Kay Well, I always P before I even get in the car, Kay. Sorry for the confusion here. As long as you keep your foot on the brake pedal until the other two steps are completed, you can use any order you want. What you’re trying to avoid is having the car roll once it’s in park. It

won’t really do any damage, but when you park on a steep hill, and the car rolls and jams the transmission’s parking pawl, it can be hard to get the car out of park. So stop the car while it’s still in gear, and keep your foot on the brake pedal. Then put the car in park and set the parking brake, or set the parking brake and then put the car in park. When both of those steps are done, remove your foot from the brake pedal and — if you’ve engaged the parking brake securely, and it’s working — the car shouldn’t roll at all. That’s what you want. Then, when you get back to the car, you should have no trouble shifting out of park, so you can race home to research your next question for us. Dear Car Talk: I have a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 240D that sat for about a year because the injection pump began to leak. I eventually was able to find an inexpensive injection pump and install it. I also put in new glow plugs, a new starter and a new battery. I checked all of the fuses

and cleaned the fuse holder. But now when I turn the key, there is nothing. The dashboard lights won’t even come on. I had no electrical problems before the car stopped running. I would appreciate any ideas you have about what I should do next. Electricity is the only class I failed. Thank you. I love your show. — Ed I think you might have failed “Car Selection,” too, Ed. But we’ll leave that aside for now. You’re getting absolutely no power when you turn the key. That’s good. It’s good because it’s easier to diagnose than an intermittent electrical problem. My first guess would be that you’ve got a bad connection at the battery or a bad ground. Every electron that leaves the battery eventually has to return to the battery. So if Eddie Electron leaves the positive terminal, and goes to the ignition switch, then to the starter, it then has to leave the starter and travel through a ground wire to the engine block and the chassis, where another ground wire brings it back to the negative terminal of the battery.

If it buys a one-way ticket and fails to make that round trip, you don’t get any power. Nada. Zip. So start by testing the battery. It’s new, but test it anyway. And make sure the cable connectors are tight and free of corrosion. If the battery is good, then you need to test the ground connections. You may have simply knocked off a ground wire, or a ground wire may have “completed” its corrosion process during the year this thing sat in your driveway. If the ground wires are all connected, and not obviously corroded, have an assistant try jiggling them while you try to start the car. Have him or her jiggle all the wires under the dashboard too. If you turn up nothing there, test the ignition switch, which could be at fault. But my first guess is that you’ve got a loose or corroded ground wire. When you finally do get the car started, Ed, then you can look forward to spending a weekend trying to bleed your new “inexpensive injector pump” and figuring out if the only reason it was “inexpensive” is because it leaks just like your old one. Best of luck. Visit Cartalk.com.

AT BRITT’S PIZZERIA AND PUB Britt’s Pizzeria and Pub (888 Lafayette Road, Hampton) may have opened only a couple months back, but already the praises are rolling in. Locals love the pizza, beers on tap, and the well-stocked bar. The menu features some classic pub fare like wings, mozzarella sticks and burgers but also includes some nods to owner Brittany Ward’s family: The Tony’s Pizza Burger is listed on the menu as “Dad’s favorite!” and the Mr. Pat pizza is named after her husband. The Scene sat down with Brittany to get the scoop on the latest new establishment. How long has Britt’s been around? We opened this July. I’ve been in the restaurant industry my entire life and have always enjoyed it. I always tell people if you don’t enjoy what you do, don’t do it. Did I know a year ago that this is where I would be right now? No. I’ve always dreamed of opening a restaurant of my own someday. I was fortunate enough to be given this opportunity and this opportunity found me. I worked for Joe Kelley, my landlord, a few years ago. When I found out there was a chance to potentially lease this establishment, I reached out to him. Now, here we are, almost two months since we [opened] and I’m still taking it all in, realizing I have started my real dream I’ve always wanted, at only 31. I was very fortunate to get this opportunity. What makes Britt’s unique? I want everyone [who comes] in here to feel like they can be themselves. If you’re having a bad day, we want to make it bet-

ter. If you’re happy, come be happy with us. We want you to be a part of the family. Before we opened, I was up in the air on what I [wanted] my “theme” to be. I didn’t know what to do, so I asked my husband, and he asked me, “What’s the name on the building?” I responded, “Britt’s.” My husband’s response [was], “Exactly. People are coming in, not only because it’s the new place in town, but because it’s your place. Give them you. You don’t need a theme, just you.” So I took that advice and decorated the place with a touch of Britt’s personality! What is your personal favorite dish? As much as I would love to say the Britt’s Special Pizza, I have to be honest and give my husband the credit on this one! His creation, The Mr. Pat [is my favorite]. It’s a delicious alfredo-based pizza, loaded with fried chicken and bacon. [It’s] our No. 1 selling pizza.

What is a dish everyone should try? The Graces’ Homemade Meatball Parmesan Sub. It’s been passed down generations — my maiden name is Grace — and I’m very fortunate and grateful to have the recipe passed down to me [so I can] share with the world how amazing it is. What is an essential skill to running a restaurant? Emotional intelligence — being able to interact and connect with customers and employees on a professional level every day. Every customer and employee has different needs and wants, each and every one is just as important as the other.

I do my best accommodate each and every [person]. What is your favorite part of being on the Seacoast? What’s not to like? We get the four seasons, as well as the ocean! I get the opportunity to not only accommodate the locals, but the ones visiting as well. I am forever grateful for all the support and advice I have received from not only my family and friends but from other local restaurant owners. I am very fortunate for this opportunity and very lucky to have the support I have from everyone including my customers. — Alison Downs

I’ve essentially stopped buying it) and the pepperoni. One of the things I liked about this recipe was that I was able to modify it to make a smaller portion than the two 9x13 casserole the ingredients provide for. I knew my husband wasn’t going to scoop this up, and I’d probably only eat a bite or two, so using the leftovers enabled me to shrink the recipe into a two-kid-friendly portion that heated up quickly. My kids seemed to enjoy the finished product, having gone back for seconds, and I’m confident I can sneak this into our meal rotation in place of a frozen pizza or two. — Lauren Mifsud

If it were up to my kids we’d be eating a steady rotation of pizza and chicken nuggets. While I’m guilty of getting lazy in the kitchen and popping in a frozen pie or nuggets from time to time, I realize I need to give them a little more substance in their nightly meals. This recipe for pizza pasta casserole proved to do just that – and combined two of my kids’ favorite dinners. Plus, with a few modifications, this recipe can be made with leftovers in a snap. When I saw this recipe and had the ingredients on hand, I knew it would make the quick weeknight meal my kids would love. And the recipe did not disappoint. While it certainly was not my favorite meal of the week, it was simple, quick and very kid-friendly. I was able to use the leftover pasta I had in my fridge and cut out a step or two. I still sautéed an onion and some ground turkey (the recipe calls for beef) before mixing it together with the leftover ziti, and added some garlic salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese to the remaining sauce before stirring that in too. Once the mixture was in the pan, I added pieces of mozzarella cheese (shredded cheese lasts for all of five seconds in the house, so

2 pounds ground beef 1 large onion 3½ cups spaghetti sauce 1 16-ounce package of pasta, cooked according to package directions and drained 4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese Pepperoni to taste (at least 8 slices)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, cook ground meat and onion over medium heat until browned. Stir in pasta and sauce and then pour mixture into two 9x13 casserole dishes. Sprinkle with cheese and arrange pepperoni over the top before baking, uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through.

DRINK

Drink beer like it’s almost fall

Don’t get mad at me but summer is all but in the books A couple of weeks back, my wife gave me a look, a look that said, “It’s time to take out the air conditioners.” It was too soon and she knew it, frankly, but the chill in the air was hard to ignore. While I’m sure New England has at least one more surprise hot spell in store for us all, it is time to start embracing the new season. The days are shorter. The air is more crisp. And I’m starting to crave brews with a bit more body to them. I’ve always thought the fall season is a great time to explore your brew palate. Beers have more body, more malt, and more toasty nuttiness. The flavors are a bit richer, giving beers more depth. But after (or during) a full day of yard work — and rest assured there will be plenty of that, whether you like it or not — you might not be looking for a big, heavy porter. But the crispness in the air won’t let you grab anything too light either. Your palate is transitioning with the season. We’re kind of in between right now. I wanted to highlight some beers that aren’t necessarily brewed specifically for fall — I’ll get to Oktoberfest and probably pumpkin-flavored beers next month — but that offer your taste buds a roasty, toasty nuttiness and complexity, without bogging you down. Here are five beers that pair perfectly with the season, even if you aren’t ready to admit fall is here:

Peace, Love, & Shopping! Fair Trade & US Made Items Clothing • Tapestries • Jewelry • Bags Body Care • Essential Oils • Gemstones Smoking Accessories • & Other Cool Stuff

malt “backbone.” What adds another layer of complexity is that this brew is aged in bourbon barrels — you’ll pick up some sweetness and oak flavors. At 7.7-percent ABV, it’s got a little heft to it. Sit down by the fire and enjoy.

Extra Special Bitter (ESB) by Red Hook Brewery (Portsmouth) Red Hook’s flagship brew brings back memories. The ESB was often on tap at establishments in my college town, and it was always a welcome change of pace from whatever was the “cheapest beer on tap.” People often refer to it as the “banana beer,” Turbodog by Abita Brewing Co. though I can’t say I really pick up that flavor.

When did quotation marks become verboten? The Third Hotel is the latest novel in which the author has shunned the overhead curls, seemingly taking the advice of novelist-screenwriter Cormac McCarthy, who has said, “If you write properly, you shouldn’t have to punctuate.” While in some hands disdain for formal rules of grammar punishes the reader, Laura van den Berg’s second novel seems to prove McCarthy right. Even without proper punctuation, The Third Hotel is a sparse, gripping story of a young widow stalking her dead husband in 2015 Havana. All we need are commas and periods, set within a couple of enormous question marks that frame the story. Clare and her husband Richard were living the placid lives of the childless outside of Albany, New York, when Richard was struck and killed by a car while out on an evening walk. Clare, a frequent traveler who sold elevator parts, had noticed her husband was changing in odd ways in the weeks before his death. He’d stopped eating bananas and salt, and started walking “so slowly and contemplatively it was as though every tree branch was a source of wonder.” When police returned his personal effects, she found a small, sealed box that had been in Richard’s pocket that she couldn’t bring herself to open. So she packed it, along with her clothes, and set off for Havana, where both she and her husband were scheduled to attend a film festival. Richard was a film studies professor, specializing in horror, and had been looking forward to the debut of the first zombie movie shot in Cuba, Revolucion Zombi. In setting this up, van den Berg reveals a sly wit, explaining how at a panel discussion the filmmakers discussed the zombie school they’d established to teach extras “proper lurching and vocalization and makeup.” “One extra had gotten carried away and started biting shoulders. A podiatrist had found a bloodied shirt in the gutter and called the Committee for the Defense of the Revolution.” But despite the occasional flash of dry humor, this is not a comical novel, but more of a mystery that van den Berg deftly unravels after Clare encounters her husband — at least what appears to be her husband, alive, uninjured — standing outside a Havana museum, wearing a white linen suit and tasseled loafers. Unable to get his attention, Clare starts

to follow the person formerly known as Richard, becoming, in essence, a stalker of the undead. It’s an interesting premise, satisfyingly laced with a sub-story about Clare’s complicated relationship with her father, who is dying of dementia in Florida. But the appeal of The Third Hotel is not its complexity or its narrative arc, but in the beauty of its language. It’s a zombie book for people who don’t like zombies, or zombie culture, but would rather exclaim over artful arrangements of consonants and vowels than watch The Walking Dead or Train to Busan. Van den Berg, the author of two story collections and the 2015 novel Find Me, enlivens her pages with surprising similes (“words bloomed in her mind like a miserable flower”) and descriptives (a mirror had “the kind of lighting that could make a person reconsider every choice they had ever made in life”). There is smart writing throughout, and van den Berg is a master of subtle detail that conveys a world of information in a few words, as in how Clare couldn’t guess her husband’s email password after his death; it eventually was revealed to be a numerical sequence that meant nothing to her. Early on, the director of the Cuban zombie movie explains why he embraces horror as a genre, why it appeals to filmmakers and viewers. The point, the director explains, is “to plunge a viewer into a state of terror meant to take away their compass, their tools for navigating the world, and to replace it with a compass that told a different kind of truth.” The viewer, distracted by fear, does not notice this transaction taking place, but would depart the theater accompanied by these “new truths,” “swimming like eels under the skin.” Clare’s truths — or are they her fictions? — slither throughout the two weeks she spends in Cuba, tracking her husband and exploring her marriage and childhood through unsettled memories. Is she an unreliable narrator disabled by grief, or one whose judgment is pickled by her own attitude about honesty? “Honest was trotted out in the name of all kinds of awful things, including cruelty — too much of it could splinter a person,” Clare believes. Kudos to van den Berg for not succumbing to an easy ending, a cheap trick of the commercially successful plot twist a reader can spot a hundred pages away. The Third Hotel is too sophisticated a story for that. Like the director of Revolucion Zombi, it aims to tell different truths, ask different questions. It also makes an uncommon demand of readers: that we not just read, but think. A+ — Jennifer Graham

Playing alone, Danielle Miraglia is a dynamo, all stomp, holler and fiery slide guitar with a voice like Janis Joplin’s — if the late singer had mixed honeyed tea with her Southern Comfort. Miraglia has built a solid living as a solo performer, leaning toward the blues and earthy folk with a probing world view. But growing up in Revere, Mass., she’d locked onto J. Geils Band and The Cars; the first album she bought was the Stones’ Tattoo You. Someday, Miraglia was bound to be in a band. So a few years ago, with the help of husband and fellow musician Tom Bianchi, she enlisted violist and longtime duo partner Laurence Scudder, guitarist Erik White, drummer Chris Anzalone and bass player Jim Larkin. Borrowing the title of her thencurrent solo album for the band’s name, she unleashed Danielle Miraglia & the Glory Junkies on the world. The five meshed immediately. “We have this chemistry because everybody is in a band with someone else,” Miraglia said in a recent phone interview. Scudder, White and Larkin are in Spotted Tiger; Anzalone is ubiquitous around Boston, along with a steady gig playing in Roomful of Blues. “I just love these guys, enjoy their company,” she said. “They’re my friends for a long time, so it’s a no-brainer.” Toward the end of last year, the group released its debut album, All My Heroes Are Ghosts. Recorded live in the studio, it blends crunchy power chords, rootsy harmonies, Americana shuffle, swampy blues and straight up rock ’n’ roll. Highlights include the churning rockers “Everybody’s Wrong” and “All on Fire,” both songs lamenting the modern world, and the whimsical “Aim Low.” The latter questions the notion of hard work as its own reward — “don’t set the bar too high” is its refrain — or whether it’s worth it to try hard at all. “I was probably feeling lousy about where I was in life. ... It was a quick write,” Miraglia said. “I stand behind everything, though.” The title cut is a tribute to the many musical greats lost in recent years, leaving “smoothed out edges” and “a pile of dusty records.” It came to Miraglia shortly after Tom Petty’s death, and it name-checks her biggest hero. “Prince is gone, you can burn the stage, he’s the only one they’ll ever make,” she

sings, while proclaiming to remain a “grown woman with a child in her heart, reaching anywhere and everywhere to find that spark.” “Rock Star” is a charming love song dating back to her earliest days with Bianchi; they’ve been together 15 years, married for seven. One line, “you look at me like you understand/you’ve been right in my shoes,” hits at why their union is the only possible dynamic for Miraglia. “It’s probably easier for a man to be married to a woman who’s not a musician than the other way around,” she said, noting that it takes a person “at least in the arts to understand why I’m driving to Pennsylvania to play an hour gig.” Miraglia spoke those sentiments as she prepared to play a set in Hershey’s Chocolate Town Square, after a showcase in Stroudsburg, but constant touring isn’t her ideal. “I have a lot of little projects [and] I love to be home doing that stuff, like giving lessons,” she said. “It helps me not have to take a crap gig I don’t want. I know people who are willing to live on the road and I have so much respect for that, but a lot of us want a balance. … Having many irons in the fire makes it easier.” Like most performers, she uses crowdsourcing sites to rally her fans. Lately, Miraglia launched a Patreon page. “I’m still figuring out how it all works,” she said. “I like the idea of putting exclusive stuff and covers that I wouldn’t want to post for the world. ... It will grow as it goes along. So far all the people on there are generally good supporters. They’re willing to be patient with me while I figure out what I’m putting up there, and why.” — Michael Witthaus Danielle Miraglia & the Glory Junkies When: Friday, Sept. 21, 8 p.m. Where: Portsmouth Book & Bar, 40 Pleasant St., Portsmouth Tickets: $10 – more at daniellem.com
