Los Angeles Native Journeys Through Hampton as Part of Walk Across America By Ethan Bukowiec Staff Writer PORTLAND, Maine As a child, Mario Landeros’ family was poor and when it came time for the holidays, they were the ones who benefitted from food drives, programs like Toys for Tots and the charity of others. “It always stuck with me that there were strangers out there who were willing to help,” said Landeros. “At some point, I decided it was my turn to give back.” The 40-year-old Los Angeles native gave back in a huge way, raising over $13,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital by enduring a year-and-a-half long trek across the country that start-

ed in Los Angeles in May 2012 and ended in Portland on Oct. 31.
The process leading up to Landeros’ journey started six
years ago, when he began volunteering with children with chronic and lifelong illnesses. He then thought that he could do more than just volunteer his time, so he began fundraising on a local level. Landeros said he spoke often about doing something big, and in November of 2011 he decided it was time to put up or shut up. “Either I needed to stop talking about it, or I needed to go through with it,” recalled Landeros. It took Landeros only five months to get things in order for his endeavor. He sold his apartment and much of his clothes and raised the $3,000 he decided he would need to successfully make it from Los Angeles to Portland.
He set a target of $100 million to raise for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and admits those aspirations might have been a bit lofty. “Maybe I was a bit naive,” said Landeros. “I thought all of my friends and family would jump on the bandwagon, but that wasn’t the case. Overall, I was pretty pleased with how it all turned out.” While Landeros’ charity and sacrifice will positively impact children in need, his life was certainly enriched by his journey too. “I have been really surprised by the amount of strangers who have helped me along the way,” See WALK page 4...

to expand their efforts in serving members of the military who bravely serve our country. Operation Hat Trick, a nationwide organization comprised of more than 220 colleges and universities, major and minor league sports teams, and national retailers is stepping up to support care coordination services for veterans of pre-9/11 conflicts by donating to Veterans Count, a program of Easter Seals New Hampshire Military and Veterans Services. Operation Hat Trick, which originated at the University of New Hampshire, generates awareness, support and funding for the recovery of America’s wounded warriors, both active service members and veterans. Operation Hat Trick pursues these goals through the sale of branded merchandise, proceeds of which are distributed to selected organizations that provide direct services to wounded warriors. “Operation Hat Trick is honored to partner with Veterans
Count. We understand the need in New Hampshire and are especially interested in helping pre 9/11 veterans,” said Founder and President of Operation Hat Trick, Dot Sheehan. “With local OHT monies, we hope to be able to make a significant difference for Veterans Count.” Veterans Count is a perfect fit to fulfill the mission of Operation Hat Trick. Veterans Count, launched by Easter Seals New Hampshire in 2007, has provided emergency financial support totaling nearly $1.5 million to 2,400 veterans, service members and their families. Care coordination is a critical service to provide effective financial support such as transportation, housing, rent, fuel assistance, utilities, vehicle repair, gasoline, food, child care, tuition and medical bills. “Veterans Count continuously looks for organizations to partner with in hopes of leveraging capabilities to assist our See HAT TRICK page 8...

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Six Searching Characters Find a Home with NH Theater Project PORTSMOUTH – New Hampshire Theatre Project’s 25th Anniversary Season opens with “Six Characters in Search of an Author,” written by Luigi Pirandello. With its startling originality, “Six Characters” is now considered one of the most influential plays in the history of world literature, although it incited audience rioting at its 1921 debut in Rome. In what begins as a realistic play, six figures arrive who make the extraordinary claim that they are the incomplete, but independent, products of an author’s imagination - “characters” the author abandoned when he couldn’t complete their story. These “characters” have come in search of someone who will give them the fullness of literary life. Furthermore, these “characters” outrageously claim that they are more “real” than the actors who eventually want to portray them. Pirandello showed how illusion mixes with reality and
The Mavericks Reunite at The Music Hall PORTSMOUTH – The Music Hall in downtown Portsmouth welcomes Latin-tinged country-rock outfit The Mavericks to The Historic Theater on Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2013. After a 10-year touring hiatus, the Grammy Awardwinning group is visiting Portsmouth in support of their newest album, “In Time.” Genre-busting powerhouse group The Mavericks emerged from Miami in 1989 to great critical and commercial appeal. Since its members quietly parted ways in 2003, fans have been eagerly awaiting a possible reunion; now, with the release of their new album, “In Time,” and the current tour, that wish is a reality. Cuban-American lead singer Raul Malo, who is gifted with a voice that we haven’t heard the likes of since Roy Orbison, spearheads a group that is equal parts country, garage rock and Latin in nature. Reaching new heights with a sound that smacks the head and tears the heart, New Orleans Jazz Festival favorites, The Mavericks, are bringing their dynamic set to the Seacoast. Tickets are on sale now at $48 for nonmembers and $38 for members. Tickets can be purchased at The Music Hall box office in the Historic Theater, 28 Chestnut Street, Portsmouth, over the phone at 603-436-2400, or on our website www.themusichall.org.
how people see the same thing in many different ways. Considered the forerunner of Theatre of the Absurd, Pirandello was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934. NHTP resident company member Blair Hundertmark directs this provocative exploration on the nature of art, infusing it with his unique style of humor and passionate drama. Costume design is by Michele Macadaeg; lighting & set design by Matt Cost. The cast of “Six Characters” includes NHTP regulars CJ Lewis, Heather Glenn Wixson, Robin Fowler, Peter Josephson,
Kate Kirkwood, Linda Chase and Fred Calcinari, along with newcomers Gabrielle Archambeault, Kyle Milner and Eric St. Cyr.

It all happens at the Crystal Ball, an annual fundraiser, Saturday Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at The Music Hall in downtown Portsmouth. Gail VanHoy Carolan, Director of Institutional Advancement explains, “After generously donating the lighting for the upper lobby restoration last year, the Lighting Center at Rockingham Electric was further inspired to donate the chandelier for the historic theater.

Local Publisher Provides Tips for Getting Published
PORTSMOUTH Local publisher and CEO of Peter E. Randall Publisher, Deidre Randall, will be presenting a workshop hosted by the Portsmouth Public Library on Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. The workshop, “Getting into Print: Understanding Publishing Options,” will provide an overview into the different types of publishing. This event is part of the library’s cel-
ebration of National Novel Writing Month. Randall will be discussing the different categories of publishing that are available, as well as the impact of cover and title choices, and the importance of building an audience of readers and book industry professionals. Randall provides a unique perspective into the world of publishing not only from her years of
...WALK from page 1 said Landeros. “I want to thank the people who welcomed me into their home and allowed me to share a meal with them.” Throughout his adventure, Landeros found himself spending nights in many small towns. One of those small towns was Hampton, N.H.,. It was the small towns that made the biggest impression on Landeros. “I have seen a lot of cities, but it is great to see the smaller towns and how the communities come together.” During his year-and-a-half long trip, Landeros would walk close to 35 miles a day and spent most of his time in solitude, but that didn’t seem to bother him. “Some people ask me if I get lonely, and a lot of the time I say no,” said Landeros. “Walking is
almost like a meditation in a way. My thoughts are my own entertainment.” Landeros returned home to Los Angeles on Nov. 2, and will now have to resume the life that he put on hold for a year-and-ahalf. He will have to find a new job. He will have to find a place to live. But he will not have to come up with a new plan to raise money for children in need. His experience walking across the country has inspired him to write a book about his travels. He will donate proceeds from the sales to schools and charities nationwide. For a man who has been on the move for quite some time, taking it easy is not an option. “This experience has made me want to do a whole lot more.”

Barbour has been cooking professionally since 1992 and started her own business, Cre-

Her recipes are designed to demystify the cooking process while focusing on basic cooking techniques, knife skills, healthy ingredient combinations, and the use of herbs and spices to enhance flavors. Her demonstrations and recipes have been featured on New Hampshire Chronicle, and she appears regularly on WMUR Channel 9’s “Cooks Corner”.

9 Tips to Save Money on Moving Expenses Whether moving across town or across the country, relocating can be difficult and expensive; often riddled with unexpected costs. “Moving is a high-stress, high-cost experience for most people, but you can curb expenses,” said Mike Sullivan,
chief education officer for Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling agency. “A little planning will go a long way to keep costs down and reduce financial stress.” Sullivan explains further with nine tips to save money on moving expenses. Decide on Movers

Hiring a mover can be risky. There are many consumer complaints in this industry. If you need professional help, research three movers with the Better Business Bureau each carrying an A rating. Get estimates and compare.
eat foods in your pantry, refrigerator and freezer. Restock after the move. Don’t Buy Boxes Check grocery, warehouse stores or recycling facilities for boxes, or ask friends and family for spares.
Sell or Donate The more you move, the more you will have to pay, especially if you’re hiring a professional or renting a truck. Take a hard look at your stuff and decide if it really needs to be moved, or if you can sell or donate it. Consider hosting a garage sale or using sites like Craigslist.org to sell items.
Consider a Pod If you’re moving far, a pod may prove cheaper than a moving van or professional moving company, especially when considering the cost of gas. Select “Off” Days Saturday is the most popular day to move. It’s also the most expensive. Prices for truck rentals or professional movers are higher on weekends. Consider moving midweek to avoid the premium cost.
Examine Your Appliances If you’re taking major appliances, account for professional servicing or installation costs. It may not be worth the cost of moving old appliances needing frequent repairs.
Manage Utilities & Services Contact your phone, cable and utility providers well ahead of your move to set a discontinu-

Stage Force Tackles Challenging Controversy with Mamet’s “Race”
PORTSMOUTH On Nov. 18, Stage Force will get up close and personal with the nation’s most enduringly controversial topic as it continues its ““Play Reading Series” with David Mamet’s “Race”. Part comedy and part mystery, the play chronicles the story of two lawyers, one white, the other black, who find themselves defending a wealthy white executive accused of raping an African-American woman. When a beautiful new black female assistant gets involved in the case, all
assumptions are turned on their heads, and resentments simmering beneath the cynical surface erupt. It’s a daring topic made even more challenging by Mamet, rightfully considered one of America’s most consistently daring playwrights. Mamet forces us to look at our own attitudes and assumptions about color. “Race” features Brian Chamberlain, Edgar Davis, and Peter Josephson, and introduces Dominique Salvacion.
The reading will be held at The Music Hall Loft at 131 Congress Street in Portsmouth, where the $12 ticket price includes a complimentary beverage. ...HAT TRICK from page 1 veterans and their families,” said Easter Seals Executive Director of Military and Veterans Services, Major General Harry E.

Health & Fitness Holiday Menu Planning for First-Time Hosts Novice holiday hosts often have a lot on their plates. Whether hosting family or friends or a combination of both, first-time hosts typically want to impress their guests while ensuring they get enough to eat and have an enjoyable evening. Since dinner is such a big part of holiday gatherings, hosts often place extra emphasis on what to serve, and that can be tricky when this is the first time they are hosting. When planning the menu for your holiday soiree, consider the following tips. Get a head count Though other factors will influence what to serve, the size of your guest list may ultimately dictate what to serve. For example, a small gathering of four to five people will likely
rule out turkey, as even a small turkey will prove too much effort and produce too much extra food. On the same note, a small dish like lasagna might not be doable for a larger crowd, as it will force you to prepare multiple entrees, which means more time in the kitchen juggling the various cooking duties and less time with your guests. Once you have confirmed just how many guests you will be hosting, you can then choose a main course that suits the size of your guest list. Decide which type of party you want to host The type of party you want to host also will influence what you serve. A formal gathering should include an appetizer, a main course and a dessert, including both caffeinated and decaffein-
ated coffees. A less formal gathering gives hosts more leeway. For example, whereas a formal gathering may include soup as an appetizer, hosting a less formal gathering allows hosts to put out some snacks or bread for guests to whet their appetites before everyone sits down for the meal. The more formal the gathering, the more formal the menu. Hosts of less formal gatherings may even want to host a holiday pot luck buffet, inviting guests to bring a favorite dish or side dish while the hosts take care of the main course. Ask guests if they have any dietary restrictions Upon being invited to a holiday dinner, some invitees may let hosts know if they have any food allergies or medical conditions that restrict which foods they can
The Hours You Want. The Care You Need.
eat. Solicit such information from all of your guests, and do your best to cater to each of your guests’ needs. Some guests might be on a gluten-free diet while others may need to limit their sodium intake. You might not be able to meet everyone’s demands. Let guests know if they should bring an appropriate snack if you cannot provide one for them. Include traditional holiday fare People have grown to expect certain things from holiday meals, be it sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving, brisket for Chanukah or holiday cookies or even eggnog at Christmas parties. When planning the menu, be sure to include at least one of these traditional items, even asking guests for suggestions. Such fare will give the party a genuine holiday feel, and guests will appreciate seeing some items on your dinner table they have enjoyed at their own holiday
celebrations over the years. Don’t overdo it First-time hosts want to ensure everyone gets enough to eat, so it’s easy to overdo things and prepare too much food. This can be expensive, and guests may feel obligated to overeat so hosts don’t have to discard any of the food they worked so hard to prepare. Though it might once have been a holiday tradition to overeat, many men and women now prefer moderation, and hosts should keep that in mind when preparing their holiday meals. There are a variety of steps first-timers can take when preparing their menus to come off looking like old pros. This article was provided by MetroCreative.

Gateway Celebrates One Year Anniversary, Goes Solar PORTSMOUTH Bill Buckley watched with excitement recently as droves of students filed into Gateway Taiji, Qigong & Yoga for the Portsmouth studio’s one-year anniversary. He watched as his vision – a business born from passion of an increasingly conscious community energy – filled the Button Factory’s old furnace room. Now, Buckley is setting his sites on a compact power of a different kind – a 72-panel, 18-kilowatt solar system astride the studio’s top hat roof. For Buckley, the new array – expected to cover a whopping 95 percent of the building’s energy use – will mark the end of a process more than a year in the making, and another turned page in a truly unique personal journey. “The plan has been to install a solar system from the beginning, so to have it this close to happening, is pretty exciting,” said Buckley, who practices and taught martial arts for over 20 years before opening Gateway last October. “It’s been quite a learning curve over the last year, both with the business and with the process of getting the business to run on solar.” After a back-and-forth process involving a number of regional solar providers, Buckley commissioned Jack Bingham, owner of Seacoast Energy Alternatives (SEA) Solar Store in Barrington, to carry out the project. Bingham said the building presented both

logistical challenges and – given the building’s century-plus old pedigree – narrative impact. “Historically, the building tells a really great story,” Bingham said. “Because it used to be a refractory, the roof was made using really sturdy ceramic tile. That means there’s not much to fasten the solar panel rackings – you just can’t drill through it.” The only other option was to support the panels using raised ballasts, which at nearly 250 pounds a pop meant a significant increase in weight. Luckily, thanks to another, smaller scale efficiency measure undertaken early this year – replacing tons of stone and tar with a light foam-rubber material – there was enough weight wiggle room to allow for the requisite solar ballasts. “I want to build a community of people who care about each other, who care about the fact that we’re being conscious about how the building is used,” Buckley said.
Isobel Parke to Receive Yankee Chapter PRSA Lifetime Achievement Award RYE Isobel Parke will be given the Yankee Chapter PRSA Lifetime Achievement Award on Thursday, Nov. 21 at Red River Theatres in Concord. Parke, APR and fellow PRSA, will be recognized for her brilliant work in communications at the Annual Meeting of the Yankee Chapter. Parke is president of Jackson Jackson & Wagner (JJ&W) in Rye and has been a member of the firm since 1963. Parke’s expertise is in issue anticipation and analysis, community coalition building, environmental programs for both business and non-profit, and crisis containment. She has had many years of public relations consulting experience ranging from Fortune 100 corporations to starving non-
profits. Parke has counseled numerous independent schools on a wide variety of critical situations, environmental coalitions on campaign strategies and land conservation, healthcare organizations concerned with mergers and restructuring, and industries ranging from utilities to waste management. She is an accredited member and fellow of the Public Relations Society of America and served as their national secretary. Parke graduated from the Winsor School in Boston, and received an MA in Modern History from Oxford University in the U.K. She was then a teacher in Germany, Kenya and China. Her background brings firsthand experience of cultural differences to JJ&W.
From the studio’s three namesakes (Taiji, Qigong and Yoga) to intensive energy work, the disciplines Buckley has cultivated at Gateway boast roots millennia in the making. So it should come as no surprise that, like these ancient arts – and the lessons of awareness and connectedness that mark their tenets – the studio’s new source of power would be one belonging to the ages.

...HELICOPTER from page 1 flying today received their training from the US Army during the Vietnam conflict. These pilots are all approaching mandatory retirement age and will create a shortage of qualified helicopter pilots in the next several years. This creates an opportunity for young men and women to start a rewarding career in an exciting field where the sky is your office. For a small fraction of the cost of a college education, and hard work, a student can train and qualify for a Professional Pilot’s Certification which allows them to fly helicopters for a living in less than a year. Pilot training is not only for the young, many students are in fact older people that have always wanted to learn to fly and have reached a point in their life where they want to make it a reality. Seacoast Helicopters provide a comfortable, safe and effective learning environment for their students while adhering to safe practice and to applicable federal and state aviation regulations. Seacoast Helicopters trains students in the Robinson R22 helicopter which is an excellent aircraft for flight training due to its reliability, safety and ease of maintenance. In this beautiful area they also invite tourists to take in the natural beauty of the seacoast, beaches, harbors, lighthouses
and historical points of interest from an observation point 1000 feet above the ground. A new visitor to the area can take in the entire area in a 45-minute flight and make note of those points of interest that they want to go back and visit from the ground. In an air conditioned helicopter, each passenger is equipped with a headset and microphone that allows them to communicate with each other and the pilot, to hear Air Traffic Control communications and to hear music when there is no voice activity. As they fly over points of interest, the pilot provides commentary and “fun facts” to enhance the experience. Scenic flights are available in 15, 30 and 45 minute durations. Seacoast Helicopters also offers air taxi transportation to business meetings, conferences, Boston Logan and other area airports. Their service offers convenience, comfort, userdetermined schedule and doorto-door service. Seacoast Helicopters also offers professional services to include real estate/ surveys, engineering activities, aerial photography and aerial inspections. Seacoast Helicopters is located at 44 Durham Street in Portsmouth. For more information, visit www.seacoasthelos. com or call 1-800-SC-HELOS.
beauty service is a luxury and should be nothing less. Their mission is to provide a warm, inviting, and fun atmosphere, which also offers professional beauty advice. The studio strives to provide a memorable experience with the highest quality, comfort and a natural salon setting. Owner and stylist, Alyssa Vachon, has been doing hair and makeup for eight years. Fresh out of high school and the vocational cosmetology program, Vachon started her career right away working for photo shoots and fashion shows for a Boston based company. She loves doing colors, cuts, and special events hair and makeup. Stylist, Jennifer Bigda, has been in the hair industry for almost ten years. She recently expanded her career working for fashion and art shows in the seacoast area. Bigda specializes in cuts, colors, special occasion styling and makes sure to keep up with the latest trends and techniques with continued education. Dayle Turgeon is also a stylist, she has been in the industry for four years. She has been working under advanced stylists to further her education and understanding of hair. She loves coloring, cutting, and styling updos. Esthetician, Deb Branscombe, has been a licensed esthetician for nine years. She believes in continuing education to keep up with the newest techniques and latest trends in skin care. Deb also believes in the power of touch therapies to nurture our body, mind and spirit.

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, My desktop is a two-yearold HP. I had been leaving it on and just moving the mouse to wake it up. The past two or three months, it won’t wake up. I have to do a “hard” shutdown and restart. I know this is not a good thing to do because it can damage the hard drive. I now shut it down and restart it every time I use it which is a rather slow process! Could it possibly be the monitor? What do I need to do? Love, love, love, your helpful news letter. Suzanne Dear Suzanne, I’ll give you the easy answer first. No, it is not your monitor. It sounds like the power settings are giving you some trouble. This is one of the most common issues I have seen with Windows. It could have been caused by going for long stretches of time without shutting down the computer, or it could just be something is corrupt. I always suggest that you shut down your computer at the end of each day, and start it up fresh in the morning. Only use the sleep feature during the day. Now that your computer
won’t wake up, you will either need to fix the problem, turn off the automatic sleep settings, or continue to shut it down after each use. You can adjust the sleep settings in the Control Panel. Open the “Hardware and Sound” and then, “Power Options” sections. Sometimes changing the settings will fix the problem, or just change all the settings to, “Never” to keep your computer on. If you are still having problems, bring your computer into my shop (or a local shop if you don’t live nearby) and I can help you solve the problem. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I am debating about buying a new laptop with Windows 8. From your posts you seem to really like this OS. Do you think windows will keep this format or with so many complaints go back to something like the XP or Windows 7 format? And do you give lessons/ tutorial for Windows 8 and what would the cost be? Thanks, Cindy Dear Cindy, I neither love nor hate the newest version of Windows. I have just decided to accept it as it is. There are some things that
I wish it had (like a start menu) but for the most part, it runs smoothly, and does what I want it to do. I think that Microsoft will not go back to an older format, only because they have never done so in the past. However, there are some things that you can do to make Windows 8 look more like older versions of Windows. Instead of writing tutorials for Windows 8, it seems to work better answering questions as people send them in. When you get your new laptop and have a question, please send it in. There are always other people wondering the same thing who have just not asked yet. I do sit down and answer questions in person for an hourly rate, give me a call if you live in the area and are interested. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Your newsletter is the best, and now I have a problem. I have lost my volume icon in Windows 7. I had recently changed it to show at all times on the taskbar, but now it is gone, and is not with the hidden icons. Please help. Is there any other way to turn the volume up and down?
Thanks, Lesa Dear Lesa, It sounds like your volume icon was turned off. Here is how to have it displayed again. 1. Click on, “Start” then click on “Control Panel” 2. In the Control Panel, click on “Appearance and Personalization”. 3. Click on, “Taskbar and Start Menu”. The “Taskbar and Start Menu Properties” dialog box will open. 4. Find the section labeled, “Notification Area” and click the “Customize” button. 5. At the bottom of the next window, you will see a text link that says, “Turn System Icons On or Off” Click on that link. 6. Find the “Volume” icon and use the drop down list to turn it back on. 7. Now, click the “OK” button in each window to save
your changes and close the windows. Elizabeth
