A friend has a cartoon strip. In the first frame a young man starts to climb up a high mountain. This continues for several frames until at last he reaches a ledge where sits a bearded holy man with legs crossed in a meditative pose. The young man says nothing but sits in the same pose next to the elder. For the next few frames nothing changes except that the young man gets older, grows a full beard and then finally resembles the holy man in appearance. In the last frame, the elder turns to the fellow and simply says, “I’ll tell you the meaning of life when I am damn good and ready.”

As the pace of our lives continues to speed up — aided in no small way by the proliferation of social media and digital devices — it’s not surprising that many are seeking ways of slowing down and regaining balance. Often they turn to practices that for centuries were only to be found in monasteries or among hermits and recluses. Meditation was chief among these.

In Eastern religious traditions, particularly Buddhism, the adoption of meditation techniques began among so-called “lay people” in the late 19th century. Well into the 20th century, Eastern religious practices — the modern mindfulness movement — took hold in this country. The quest to explore the inner self, to achieve unity with a universal principle and so realize peace and tranquility, gave rise to a proliferation of spiritual teachers, guidebooks, lecture series, workshops, retreats and, more recently, even the subject of a PBS program broadcast during pledge periods.

Whether it is spiritual fulfillment, deeper self-knowledge, a lower heart rate or a good night’s sleep, there are techniques, and now even digital devices, that can be called upon.

The Apple App Store offers a range of options that can be downloaded and accompany one anywhere. These are the new religious artifacts that, in an earlier day, took the form of a rosary, a Book of Psalms, a prayer card or a medal worn around the neck. Such were “tools” for centering the mind, offering a pause in the humdrum of daily life and allowing the devotee to proceed more purposefully.

What was common to them all, however, was that they took time, patience and discipline. They did not offer an instant fix. Like physical training to be fit, their daily use often tested one’s resolve and ability to stay the course. Digital or not, time is the key.

As Thoreau put it, “The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.”

NEWS & NOTES

Primary update

Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore plans to announce his candidacy for president in the first week of August, according to an earlier interview with the Richmond Times-Dispatch. His entry could be the last of 18 Republicans in the race, but former Maryland Gov. Bob Ehrlich is still testing the political waters.

For now, billionaire Donald Trump is leading the pack in New Hampshire, according to a recent NBC News-Marist Poll. Trump has 21 percent of the Republican vote while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is trailing with 14 percent and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has 12 percent. Everyone else in the Republican primary has single digits. According to the same poll, Hillary Clinton is leading Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary with 47 percent to Sanders’ 34 percent.

Still, that’s a narrow lead compared to the 56-point lead Clinton enjoyed earlier this year.

After his late entry into the race, Ohio Gov. John Kasich visited New Hampshire with stops in Nashua and the Seacoast. NHPR reported Kasich relied heavily on his life story and working-class roots during his stump speeches. But his calm demeanor and self-professed bipartisanship may not be enough to boost him in the polls, landing him in the awkward position of being left out of the Aug. 6 Fox News debate that will take place in his home state.

Meanwhile, Jeb Bush told reporters while campaigning in the North Country that he’s the tortoise in the race, NHPR reported.

And for the first time since announcing his bid, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum visited the state with town hall meetings in Concord and Weare and a national security talk in Bedford. Former New York Gov. George Pataki stopped in at Manchester’s Summerfest hosted by the Granite State Brewers Association. And Florida Sen. Marco Rubio cancelled a two-day visit to the state when he became ill. He was scheduled to appear in Hooksett, Merrimack and Londonderry, but he flew home to Florida to recover instead.

Budget compromise

Amid a budget stalemate following Gov. Maggie Hassan’s veto of the Republican-crafted state operating budget, Hassan offered a compromise on July 23.

She told reporters she’s open to things Republicans wanted such as a reduction in the Business Profits Tax, raising the threshold for paying the Business Enterprise Tax, the elimination of small business taxes and changes to the so-called ‘Planet Fitness tax,’ which she earlier vetoed. But NHPR reported she wants to see those losses in revenue offset by new sources such as a 21-cent cigarette tax increase and a $5 increase to the motor vehicle registration fee. However, she also included an additional $5.7 million in spending for substance abuse treatment and a 2-percent state employee raise.

Republican lawmakers were quick to respond with criticism of Hassan’s overture. House Speaker Shawn Jasper said her proposal included things Republican lawmakers already rejected and did not see it as a workable offer. Senate President Chuck Morse echoed Jasper’s critique and argued the way forward was to attempt to override Hassan’s budget veto.

Guinta poll

According to a new poll, support for Republican 1st District Congressman Frank Guinta among New Hampshire voters has largely turned away. In a recent WMUR Granite State Poll, 44 percent of voters in the district say Guinta should resign over his recent campaign finance scandal while 25 percent say he should remain. And support is likely to be even weaker by 2016. The same poll reported 55 percent said they would definitely vote for another candidate while only 5 percent said they’d vote for Guinta. The Federal Election Commission fined Guinta $15,000 and ordered him to return $355,000 he received from his parents during the 2010 election. Guinta has maintained that the money was always his but the FEC ruled it was an illegally large campaign contribution. Meanwhile, WMUR reported questions about the campaign finance issue were quashed by organizers of his latest town hall meeting in Plaistow.

In Litchfield, an interim superintendent has been chosen by school officials. The Union Leader reported James O’Neill of Jaffrey will helm the district in the coming school year. He replaces the last superintendent, Brian Cochrane, who resigned suddenly after the teachers union made a vote of no confidence in him last month.

Northern Pass

The federal Department of Energy dropped its Environmental Impact Statement of the proposed Northern Pass project, which aims to deliver hydroelectric power from Quebec through New Hampshire, and compared it to alternative approaches. According to NHPR the report indicated overhead lines would negatively impact property values and tourism but burying the lines would cost up to twice as much. Eversource Energy has long denied the negative impacts but has argued burying would cost too much. The report also suggested burying the power lines would create twice as many jobs as overhead lines.

A 90-day public comment period begins July 31, but the state’s Congressional delegation is asking for an additional 90 days given the massive amount of documentation on the issue.

Drug czar

Out of relative obscurity, the state’s senior behavioral health coordinator and the governor’s pick to combat New Hampshire’s opioid addiction problem, John Wozmak, entered the public stage for the first time since he was hired in February when he unveiled his 22-point plan. NHPR reported the drug czar recommended renewing expanded Medicaid, expanding the treatment infrastructure and drug courts. The issue was quickly politicized when Republicans accused Gov. Maggie Hassan of not doing enough to deal with the drug issue and officials in Manchester called foul for not being mentioned in

O’Brien rose to be the Speaker of the House from 2010 to 2012 and spearheaded aggressive labor and voting reforms while effectively reducing overall spending in the state budget, a move that included the controversial halving of the university system budget.

BORN-TO-BE HUNTERS

DOWNEASTER RIDERS

New Hampshire Fish and Game is now selling hunting licenses to babies. NHPR reported the new program, which provides newborns with a lifetime hunting and fishing license that kicks in after they turn 16 and complete a hunting course, is similar to a popular program in Maine and Vermont. Officials say residents have been asking the department for something like this for the past few years. It’s expected to bring revenue to Fish and Game and provide an easy way to pass on hunting and fishing traditions to the next generation.

The license costs $300 plus $4.50 in fees. It also comes with a camouflage onesie. New Hampshire babies must be under 1 year old to qualify.

Recent repairs conducted to the Amtrak Downeaster line between New Hampshire’s southern border and Portland, Maine, have resulted in a significant drop in ridership.

NHPR reported the replacing of about 22,000 railroad ties has resulted in hundreds of midday train cancellations and delays. Average daily ridership has subsequently dropped by about 500 to 600. Work is expected to be done by early August and the Downeaster is planning a promotional campaign to attract more riders.

Candia school switch

Ahead of school board vote, Candia and Manchester fight over funds Manchester vs. Pinkerton Tuition

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Per student tuition rates plus capital costs offered to the Candia school district by the two schools competing for its high school students. $ $ 10,434.24 10,528.83 $ 10,197 $ 10,044.49 $ 9,881 $ 9,744.60

As the Candia School District ramps up its efforts to end the contract that sends its high school students to Manchester, the two communities quarrel over capital payments.

The road out

During a meeting in August, the Candia school board will vote on whether the district will pursue a new sending contract with Pinkerton Academy in Derry. If it decides to no longer send its students to Manchester’s Central High School, it will be the fourth and last community to do so in the past six years.

Three of them — Auburn, Hooksett and Candia — are part of School Administrative Unit 15, which shares a superintendent.

Candia’s school board chair, Nicole LaFlamme, recalls this process began for her back in 2012, when she and other board members met with the Manchester Board of School Committee to share concerns they had about large class sizes and tattered textbooks. But they weren’t the only sending community with those concerns. Hooksett had already filed a notice of breach with Manchester, so the city lawyered up, and Manchester board members wouldn’t address any problems directly for fear it would admit liability. The meeting concluded without a resolution.

“The relationship continued to be a bit challenging,” LaFlamme said. “Families in Candia continued to be quite concerned about the educational health within the community in Manchester.”

By then, Auburn had already found a way out of its contract with Manchester, which included paying the city a large sum in a settlement. Hooksett was well on its way out, claiming the classes with more than 30 students were a material breach of the deal that promises to adhere to state standards. Candia decided to take a quieter approach.

Rather than get wrapped up in a potentially expensive lawsuit, Candia asked its voters. In March 2014 a warrant article posed the question of whether Candia should research options outside of Manchester. The final tally was 568 to 182 in favor.

“Overwhelmingly, the vote came back that,

yes, the voters of Candia wanted the Candia school district to look for a partner other than Manchester,” LaFlamme said. “That was a strong indicator that ... we do want to look elsewhere. A very strong indicator.”

A committee was set up, charged with the task of researching all the options during the year that followed. The committee visited and compiled data from Central High, Londonderry High School, Raymond High School, Pembroke High School and Pinkerton. The final report recommended Pinkerton, Raymond and Londonderry. By LaFlamme’s estimation, Pinkerton was the clear frontrunner.

“Essentially, that research project brought it home to say, really, PinkerNICOLE LAFLAMME ton is most likely the best option for Candia,” LaFlamme said.

At the same time, another committee was busy researching the roots of declining enrollment in Candia’s K-8 school, the Henry W. Moore School. LaFlamme said that while aging demographics played a role, a significant factor was the contract with Manchester.

“Families were not moving into Candia because they didn’t want to go to school in Manchester, and conversely, families were

moving out of Candia before their kids got to the 7th- or 8th-grade level so their kids wouldn’t have to go to high school in Manchester,” LaFlamme said.

She said the enrollment in Candia was declining faster than the state or regional rates, leading her to believe it was the Manchester school deal tipping the scales.

Town officials from various departments got together in a sort of summit to review all this information and LaFlamme says they all agreed on that diagnosis. To LaFlamme, the fact that nearly half of the town’s 54 high school students were being sent to private schools was also telling.

On the evening of June 3, more than 130 residents from Candia piled into a school bus that took them to Pinkerton for a tour.

“For Candia, that’s a pretty large number,” LaFlamme said.

Later that month, a group of parents shared their thoughts at a public hearing.

“It was essentially 98 percent, I’d say, of community members were very positive to instruct the school board to vote ... to pursue a contract with Pinkerton,” LaFlamme said.

But not everyone’s so sanguine about such a move.

Dispute

According to Stephen Berwick, the coordinator of disputes and constituent complaints at the state Department of Education, Manchester and Candia are currently embroiled in a dispute over the capital costs Candia pays Manchester. While Berwick didn’t know the exact amount in dispute,

it’s likely in the tens of thousands of dollars.

Documents provided by LaFlamme showing Manchester’s annual tuition rates, including capital maintenance payments, don’t include capital cost numbers from the 2013-2014 school year and beyond because the funds are held in escrow.

The complaint was issued to the DOE on June 15, about 10 days before the public hearing where parents pushed for switching to Pinkerton. It’s currently being handled by a hearing officer who began proceedings with a conference on July 21. Berwick says the hearing officer’s job will be to collect facts provided in testimony during hearings likely to take place this fall and then report his findings and recommendation to the State Board of Education, which has the final say.

So far, since this is being conducted through the administrative law process rather than the courts, it’s gone largely under the radar.

Superintendent Debra Livingston of the Manchester School District declined to speak to the Hippo for this story, and LaFlamme declined to comment on the dispute while it’s ongoing.

Next move

For Candia, the move to exit the deal with Manchester would be a less adversarial process than what happened between Hooksett and Manchester. Candia never claimed Manchester was in breach of contract. Instead, it’s considering using the last of three windows written into the contract for early release.

Assuming the Candia school board votes to pursue an agreement with Pinkerton, the board will begin drafting such an agreement.

LaFlamme thinks existing arrangements with nearby towns serve as a useful template for a future deal.

“Auburn did a great job a few years ago with their contract with Pinkerton,” LaFlamme said. “There’s really no reason to reinvent the wheel.”

From there, residents will vote on the deal in March 2016 and if they vote in favor, the board must notify Manchester of its intent by the following June. That gives Manchester a two-year notice. So the soonest Candia students would start going to Pinkerton will be the fall of 2018. Otherwise, the current contract is set to expire in 2023.

The Candia board vote will take place on Aug. 6. While LaFlamme wouldn’t speculate on how her fellow board members are leaning, she already knows how she’ll vote.

“I will be voting to pursue a contract with Pinkerton,” LaFlamme said. “I think it’s time to see some changes here in Candia and I think this will be a very positive change for our community.”

Longstanding staffing concerns at the Manchester Fire Department are coming to a head. As the firefighters’ union blames recent injuries on staff shortages, mayoral candidates are promising to address staffing in the city budget, while incumbent Mayor Ted Gatsas says the shortage has nothing to do with the budget.

Burned

It was June 22 when a Walnut Street apartment building became engulfed in flames.

Three firefighters were the first to arrive at the two-alarm fire from Station 5 on Webster Street with a water pump. Another truck, a ladder, was on its way from Merrimack Street’s Central Station.

Jeff Duval, the president of International Association of Fire Fighters Local 856, said the ladder truck was only about 90 seconds behind.

“It did make a difference, those extra 90 seconds,” Duval said.

With no time to spare, the first truck to arrive had to snap into action to rescue a woman on the second floor whose nightgown had caught on fire.

“The lieutenant made the call to … go out and grab the 24-foot ground ladder,” Duval said.

Three firefighters, Carl Milliard, Scott Brassard and Lt. Michael Smith, went to rescue the woman from her balcony. “[The rescue] normally would have been the duties of the ladder company, allowing the engine company to put water on the fire or even to provide some sort of fire curtain to protect them as well as the woman,” Duval said.

The woman had second-degree burns on a third of her body while the three firefighters each suffered injuries ranging from a minor knee injury to mostly first-degree burns on hands, ears and neck. The man with the most severe burns will not return to work for another four to six weeks, according to Duval.

On July 2, Duval released a statement blaming the incident on a lack of adequate staffing, saying that more than 30 positions were lost to budget cuts over the past decade.

“It’s not a new concern. It’s a concern we’ve had for quite a while, since we’ve been losing manpower,” Duval said.

The budget

Duval said the department is currently staffed with 190 line firefighters, lieutenants and captains, with 46 serving every four shifts. He said in 2008 the department had a total of 212 with about 52 or 53 firefighters

serving per shift.

“The major hit for us was the 2011 budget where we ended up having 15 firefighters sent home through the budget that was presented by Mayor Ted Gatsas and voted on and approved by the aldermen,” Duval said.

“This is the lowest that we’ve been at. We have not increased [the complement]. This is since 2011.”

And Duval said three stations, on Webster Street, Mammoth Road and Amory Street, are currently operating with shared staff. This means even if a station has both a ladder and a pump, there’s only enough staff to respond with one truck from each station. And most trucks are running with three-man teams while the national standard is to have trucks manned with four firefighters.

“If we had [the five ladder trucks in the city] properly staffed, then we’d be hitting the mark better, and we should be,” Duval said.

A two-year SAFER grant in 2012 that would have added eight firefighters was voted for by nine aldermen but vetoed by Gatsas, who cited concerns that it was one-time money. Alderman Joyce Craig, who voted for the grant and is running for mayor this year, said the department sees about six to eight retirements each year, so that should have alleviated any concerns over covering the cost in the third year.

This year, virtually all spending increases in the city budget went to the school district.

“This year was a little bit of a surprise when even the aldermen budget that came through actually flat-funded the fire department and a couple of other departments as well,” Duval said.

When asked about Duval’s concerns, Gatsas said fire department staffing was the responsibility of Fire Chief James Burkush.

“It has nothing to do with the budget,” Gatsas said.

Meanwhile, his three opponents for the city’s top office — Craig, businessman Jawed Alibaba Shaikh and former Alderman Patrick Arnold — each told the Hippo firefighter staffing is a priority.

Alibaba said he would try to restore 30 positions to the department. Craig said another attempt at obtaining a SAFER grant would be an option. And Arnold puts the blame for the staffing issue on City Hall.

“Public safety is the number one concern to the people I talk to,” Arnold said. “Four firefighters per piece [of apparatus] is the standard.”

Duval agrees this is a public safety issue.

“This is not a ploy for negotiations, by no means, for us. This is about staffing and staffing only,” Duval said. “This is about the safety of the citizens as well as the safety of our firefighters.”

How does it feel to win this award?

Humbling is the only thing I can say. I was totally blown away when they told me I won this. There’s so many wonderful people I work with, I don’t feel I’m that … special.

What do you think you do differently that makes such an impression on patients?

Well, there are probably a couple of things.

I like to have my treatment of my patients based on our relationship. I think everybody does this who’s in there, but I think I’m pretty good at developing a lot of good, solid relationships with my patients and use that to navigate their healthcare needs. … They trust you and that’s huge. I think that’s enormous.

BeaconJewelersNH.com BeaconJewelersNH.com The other thing I do is I speak … Spanish and 1356 Elm Street, which in our multicultural population 1356 Elm Street, French, Manchester is very exciting. I’m not the only one who Manchester speaks different languages, of course, but 603-935-8613 101459 I think it makes people more relaxed when 603-935-8613 you can joke with them in Spanish. The other thing I do is I do house calls. … I’ll go out to the house after hours to see how they’re doing at home.

What are some trends in health care you are interested in following?

I think there are a bunch of them. I think working on … the patient-centered medical home, as we’re doing, is mostly a very positive trend. It’s having your whole health center and everything you do be patient-centered. … It’s basically, having as a primary care health center, having that meet the full primary care needs of that patient in a way that’s as seamless as possible. ...I think it’s positive for the patients. The other thing in this state that’s been enormous for us at the community health center level is having increased access to Medicaid. It’s allowed people who never had access to health care to access it. It allows them to access much more comprehensive care.

What health care-related problems are you seeing in the community?

There’re so many. Honestly, I think poverty is still a root of a lot of healthcare problems. It impacts nutrition Courtesy photo. and food choices.

It brings in housing insecurity and stress, lack of education. All these things impact how people relate to their health care and it’s what we see all the time. Of course, we really struggle with obesity and the consequences of that but that’s… frequently tied in to poverty. The other thing is mental illness and having really good access to mental health care. … People with mental illness have worse health indicators. … If you don’t treat the mental illness and help them with that they’re not going to get anywhere with the rest of their healthcare. … If you don’t address their depression, for example, they’re not going to care as much if their blood pressure goes down.

What advice do you have for young people interested in becoming a family physician?

Go work with one. Go spend a good amount of time in a good family doctor’s office. I have my bias toward community health centers. We’re working with people who are less advantaged than the rest of the population, and there are enormous rewards in that. … Talk to family doctors who have been in it for the long haul… We get very poor reimbursement compared to a lot of other specialities. We ... talk to a lot of young people about that who come out of medical school with a lot of debt. … Satisfaction with your job is so important, and family doctors have a very high satisfaction with what ... they do.

What do you love most about your job?

If I had to say one thing… I think it’s the relationships that I form. I was a nurse before I became a doctor. I loved nursing… I would go home working with these desperately sick patients thinking I got more than I gave. … It makes me happy to be able to have a positive impact on people’s health. I come out feeling that I’ve done the right thing, most days. Very few people, I think, get to have long careers doing stuff they love. — Ryan Lessard

The home-buying market in New Hampshire is picking up, according to housing reports from RE-MAX INTEGRA New England and the New Hampshire Association of Realtors. Home sale prices and median home prices rose in June compared to those in the same month 2014.

The New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority also says the number of foreclosure deeds has declined to levels not seen in nearly a decade, according to NHPR. QOL Score: +1 Comment: NHAR president Maxine Goodhue said in the NHPR report that while home inventory is up as well, the market still favors buyers, judging by the average length of time it takes to sell a home.

According to the Union Leader, Manchester Parks and Recreation stats say attendance in the city’s four pools and Crystal Lake has dwindled the past few years, which may lead to closure of one swimming site next summer in favor of a new splash park. In 2012, facilities were used 92,208 times. In 2014, that number was 68,589, according to attendance records, which are recorded by lifeguards and parks and recreation staff. Right now, the least-used swimming site is Dumont Pool, which is where proponents are looking to locate the new splash pad. The department received $225,000 for construction next year.

QOL Score: -1 (-2 for lack of swimmers/potential pool closure, +1 for new splash park) Comment: QOL’s pretty surprised at the lack of attendance — it’s been hot! — but is 100 percent for a new splash park. Check out this week’s cover story starting on p. 14 for reasons why public pools are a great option for anyone looking for free family fun!

Using health, education and economic indicators, New Hampshire has been ranked second in the nation for child well-being in the most recent annual Kids Count report. The Granite State was ranked seventh for economic well-being, third for education and 16th for health.

However, New Hampshire was first in the ranking for family and community. The report found the number of children living in poverty in New Hampshire went down from 16 percent to 10 percent in 2013.

The state was also tied with six other states as the worst for teen substance abuse.

QOL Score: +1 (because NH’s ranking was still high despite the drug problem) Comment: Minnesota got the top spot for overall well-being.

Officials in Manchester are dealing with a sorry side effect of the worsening heroin epidemic: used syringes disposed of in public parks.

Don Pinard of parks and recreation told WMUR that as parks are being swept for syringes, spoons and other drug paraphernalia, needles are being found just about every day. The items are also being found on Little League fields and rail trails. The AP reported the primary concern with discarded needles is the potential they have to transmit diseases such as HIV or hepatitis if someone is accidentally stuck by a needle.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Ambulance services have volunteered to sweep parks before children enter them.

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S LONGSHOTS

Pedro’s place among my Top 10

926 Elm St • Manchester | 625-8442 www.PearsonsJewelry.com 100909

With Pedro Martinez going into the Hall of Fame this week, I got to wondering where he ranks among the pitchers that I have actually seen since I started following baseball. So even though the numbers are unbelievable, out are great players like Lefty Grove and Walter Johnson, who I didn’t see pitch. Ditto for guys today who may make the list at some point but are out because the body of work is not complete.

I’m talking about how good a pitcher was at their peak. So, while accumulated numbers racked up by being consistent while pitching forever are commendable, I’m talking about guys during the part of their career when they were lights-out great and the big numbers are used just as a tiebreaker.

You have to make adjustments for eras, as the almighty pitch count, seven-inning starters vs. those expected to go nine in the ’60s-80s and pitching every fifth day vs. every fourth day all affect the number of opportunities to get wins. Plus ERAs were helped by higher mounds in the ’60s and hurt in the steroid era. This is subjective from a guy who absolutely hates seeing Felix Hernandez win the Cy with 12 stinking wins and could not disagree more strenuously with the notion wins are circumstantial. So with all due respect to honorable mentions Greg Maddux and Nolan Ryan, here’s my list of the Top 10 pitchers.

10. Tom Glavine: I’m probably alone thinking this, but he won 20 five times and only Roger Clemens among his contemporaries can match that. Plus he was consistent and durable as the Braves went to the postseason 11 straight years in his

The SiTe of

time there. Only downer is the 14-16 postseason record.

9. Whitey Ford: He “only” won 236 games, though under different circumstances it could have been 275, after missing two years in the service and Casey Stengel generally pitching him every fifth day. But with Pedro justifiably being lauded for his .687 winning, Whitey’s .690 was even better. He also holds the World Series record of 10 wins and for pitching 33.2 consecutive scoreless innings.

8. Jim Palmer: He’s remembered more for his feisty relationship with manager Earl Weaver, but this guy was great. He won 20- 8 times and 268 overall, was 8-3 in the postseason, at 20 beat Koufax in his final game while becoming the youngest to pitch a World Series shutout, and won three Cy Youngs.

7: Tie - Bob Gibson and Juan Marichal: Gibby earned postseason rep by going 7-2 in World Series play and winning 251 games. But while Marichal lost the public opinion battle because of the World Series record and Gibson’s sensational 1968 season, he was his equal.

Marichal won 20 six times to Gibby’s four, 246 overall, and his 26-9, 2.43 ’68 season wasn’t too shabby either.

6. Roger Clemens: The question is, was the second half of his long career enhanced by better living through chemistry? But it’s hard to look past seven Cy’s, 354 wins, going 24-4 in 1986 and five 20-win seasons. Plus after a slow start he wound up 12-8 in the postseason.

5. Steve Carlton: How he won 27 with the 59-103 Phillies in 1972 still baffles me. He won 20 six times, 329 overall, struck out over 200 hitters eight times and was over 300 innings twice. At his best he bore on you and you couldn’t get the barrel of the bat on the ball.

4. Randy Johnson: Most amazing thing about him was he didn’t win in dou-

ble digits until 26. He won 20 three times, including 24-5 in 2002, had 303 overall with a .646 winning percentage. He struck out over 200 batters 14 times, 300 five times and did it four straight times after turning 35 when the numbers were 364, 347, 372, 334.

3. Tom Seaver: His Mets couldn’t hit a lick, but he went 25-5 as the miracle Mets came out of nowhere to shock baseball by taking out the unbeatable Orioles in five in the 1969 World Series. He won 20 five times and 311 overall, was totally dominating at his best and no one besides Ryan and Sandy Koufax used their legs like him.

2. Pedro Martinez: He won 20 just twice and a paltry by this group 217 in his career. Plus couldn’t have pitched the 381 innings Koufax did in 1965. But if you’re talking sheer dominance at his peak, the winning percentage in Boston was an astonishing .760 and the ERAs in his top five years through the heart of the steroid era went 2.07, 1.74, 2.39, 2.26 and 2.22. And there was his Willis Reed game, when an injured Pedro emerged from the bullpen in Game 5 of the 1999 ALDS series to hold the Indians hitless over the final six innings as the Sox rallied to win the deciding game 12-8. That was the best I’ve ever seen anyone pitch.

1. Sandy Koufax: He had that graceful wind-up, with the high slow-motion leg kick and then BAM! the ball exploded on batters before they could react. He won just 165, but he won the ERA titles in each of his last five seasons when he pitched over 300 innings three times, struck out over 300 three times, and his 20-win seasons were 25-5, 26-7 and 27-9.

I’m biased, but between 1962 and 1966 he was the most unhittable pitcher I’ve ever seen. Then he retired at 30.

Great Events in Manchester

July 1975 –Manchester Golfers All Over The NH State AM Behind superb rookies Fred Lynn and Jim Rice – the Red Sox were on their way to winning the American League pennant, Tom Watson had just won his first of five British Open titles, cluttsy president Gerald Ford had just tripped over something somewhere and Saturday Night Live was a few months away from making its debut show on NBC. It was July of 1975 and time for the NH State Amateur Golf Tournament. While it was being held at Wamback CC in Jefferson – Manchester golf was front and center. The defending champion was soon to be Derryfield CC assistant pro Kirk Hanefeld, while thanks to running up seven birdies in the first 11 holes on Day 2, the medal round winner was 22 year-old Manchester CC product Bryan Crofut with a 142 two day score. Just two shots back was Derryfield’s Steve Bernard, while lurking three back was “young” Bob Mielcarz, who was making his first appearance in the tournament he would go on to win 8 times. The good times didn’t last long for Crofut as he was ousted Round One by Beaver Meadow’s Jon Evans. But locals Bernard, John Lowandowski, Lin Hillsgrove, Dick Tombs and Bill McGrath did move on. But the only survivor the next day from that group was Tombs who won 2 and 1 twice to advance. He won again in the Friday morning round

Real Estate on the radio SPORTS DAVE LONG’S PEOPLE, PLACES & OTHER STUFF

The Big Story: How about Jackson Marshall of the Hooksett Marshalls winning the 8-year-olds division in the national finals at Major League Baseball’s Pitch, Hit and Run competition at the AllStar game in Cincy last week. He emerged from a group of over 625,000 youth baseball players across the country to be among the 24 finalists who competed at the All-Star festivities. With a knack like that for beating the odds, the folks might want to think about buying a PowerBall ticket this week.

Sports 101: As David Ortiz continues to build on his career numbers, only four other players in baseball history have exceeded his double (564), homer (485), and RBI (1587) totals in each category. Name the other four.

Who’s Hot: The Fisher Cats entered July with 33 wins, 39 losses and looking like they may be headed to oblivion. But they went on a tear in winning 15 of the next 19 after last Tuesday’s 7-1 win over the Harrisburg Senators. Casey Lawrence got the win over the Senators to pick up his 10th win by giving up just four hits and a run over eight innings of work.

Who’s Hot II: That would be the Bedford Little League All-Stars, who advanced to the next round of play in Bristol, Connecticut, after Sunday’s 15-7 win over Rye clinched

their best-of-three championship series. The decisive moment came in the third when a 6-6 tie was turned into an 11-6 runaway thanks to a two-run single by Kyle Lavigne and a two-run homer by Adam Roy. Babe Ruth Award: To Connor Walsh for going eight innings in pitching Sweeney Post to a 5-4 win over Dover in the opening round of the American Legion Tournament while reaching base all five times he went to the plate while going 3-4, when his bases-loaded double was the game’s biggest hit.

Sports 101 Answer: The four exceeding Ortiz’s career total in the doubles- homersRBI trifecta are Hank Aaron (624, 755 and 2,297), Barry Bonds (601, 762 and 1,996), Rafael Palmeiro (585, 569 and 1,835) and Albert Pujols (575, 549 and 1,665) On This Date – July 30: 1890 – Casey Stengel, legendary Yankees manager and only person to play or manage all four New York franchises (Giants, Yanks, Mets and Dodgers), is born in Kansas City, Missouri. 1960 – The first-ever preseason game is played in the late, great AFL, as the Boston Patriots defeat the Buffalo Bills 28-7. 1990 – Yankees owner George Steinbrenner is suspended from baseball for life for second time after the Howard Spira incident. 2007 – All-time great ’49ers headman Bill Walsh dies of leukemia at 75.

Sports Glossary

Honorable Mention: Greg Maddux: The win total is incredible, as was his astonishing consistency. But I always felt he feasted on the bad teams and was more hittable by the good ones, as evidenced by his 11-14 postseason record. He had just two 20-win seasons, though if he pitched in an earlier time it would have been 10 given all his 18- and 19-win seasons.

Honorable Mention: Nolan Ryan: At times he was the most unhittable pitcher ever.

But while he had 324 wins, he also has a second highest ever 292 losses. On every team he played with except Texas, someone else had the better winning percentage with the same team — California (Frank Tanana) Houston (Joe Niekro and Mike Scott) and the Mets (almost everyone). He was more amazing than great.

Sandy Koufax – 1965: He was 26-8, 2.04 ERA, pitched 335.2 innings and struck out 382. Plus he shut out Minnesota in Game 7 of the Series on two days’ rest after throwing 135 pitches in his Game 5 shutout.

Gibson’s 1968 Season: Starting on June 6 he won 11 straight complete games while giving up just 3 runs and pitching 8 shutouts. The 1968 line was 22-9, 1.12 ERA, 304 innings and 268 Ks. Roger Clemens – 1986: He was just 23 when he won his first games before losing to Toronto in late June. When it was over the line was 24-4, 2.48, 258 innings and 238 strikeouts.

Aquatic fun at the beach, pool or water park

By Allie Ginwala

aginwala@hippopress.com

Here in the Granite State, there are plenty of ways to cool down in the summer months.

New Hampshire is home to about 1,000 lakes and ponds and 18 miles of ocean coastline, not to mention water parks with HIPPO | JULY 30 - AUGUST 5, 2015 | PAGE 14

slides, rides and lots of splashing, and, in cities, easy to access public pools.

But with so many options, how do you choose between a salty dip in the ocean after a run along the beach and an afternoon picnic and kayak trip around the lake?

The Hippo has your guide to finding the aquatic venue that best suits your hot summer day desires.

Hit the ocean waves

While there are many types of water to enjoy in the state, Amy Bassett, public information officer for the New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation, said a beach on the ocean provides an experience unlike any other.

“It’s important to get that experience of hearing the waves crash,” she said. “When

you can sit on the sand and close your eyes and listen to the crashing of the waves or hear the kids playing or the seagulls overhead, that’s a unique experience.”

Along the coastline are five state park beaches — Hampton Beach State Park, North Beach, North Hampton State Beach, Jenness State Beach and Wallis Sands State Park — each with its own vibe and activities.

Stay cool at the pool

Whether it’s the convenience, affordability or added supervision, there are plenty of reasons not to cross public pools off the list of water fun this summer.

“I think when folks are looking at public facilities all over the state [they see] that [public pools] do provide some level of supervision and lifeguards on site,” Concord Parks and Recreation Director David Gill said.

Though some natural bodies of water have lifeguards, they are often limited by time and day of the week. At public pools, lifeguards are a must.

“I love going to the lakes and the river too, but for families, especially with young children, it’s important the pool has a lifeguard,” Gill said.

He described the atmosphere at Concord’s seven pools as places for kids and families, with more activity in the pool and less lounging in the sun.

Is the ocean for you?

Get a variety of atmospheres and activities, all within driving distance, from the “hub of craziness” of the strip and Hampton Beach main area right off Route 1A to the more removed and quieter setting of Wallis Sands State Park.

Hampton Beach State Park, Hampton: Bustling beach good for swimming, fishing, picnicking and RV camping.

Plenty of shops and restaurants to check out as well as regular live performances at the Sea Shell Stage and a fireworks show every Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. on the beach, top of C Street. Metered parking is available ($15 per vehicle for the parking area at South Beach) as are five bathhouses. Daily lifeguard hours through September.

North Beach, Hampton: Sandy beach good for swimming, surfing and picnicking. Metered parking is available, as is a bathhouse. Daily lifeguard hours through August. A note for surfers: North Beach has clear markings of where it’s OK to surf. When in doubt, head to a surf shop along Ocean Boulevard to point you in the right direction.

Wallis Sands State Park, Rye: Scenic beach with views of the Isles of Shoals, good for swimming and picnicking.

Amenities include a concessions store, bathhouse and grassy area for picnics.

Parking is $15 per vehicle. Lifeguards on duty through September.

Jenness State Beach, Rye: Quieter beach good for swimming, surfing and picnicking; metered parking is available for 67 cars. Bathhouse is open and lifeguard hours continue daily until the end of August.

North Hampton State Beach, North Hampton: Family beach good for swimming and picnicking. Metered parking is available, as is a bathhouse.

Parks and Recreation, thinks visiting public pools is great for residents who want to enjoy the water all summer without breaking the bank.

“The pools are free to Nashua residents, and the parking is free,” Caggiano said.

“The water quality is very good, and the les-

“We’ve very fortunate in New Hampshire to have 18 miles of coastline to take advantage of, and it’s close, so to get the experience of the ocean and have it in our backyard,” she said.

If the sounds of the waves and gulls aren’t enticing enough, the ocean is a good spot for all ages and interests, making it an ideal setting for a group outing.

“The beauty of the ocean is it applies to all different age groups for different reasons,” Bassett said. “Older folks can sit in the sand or stroll down the beach while younger crowds get to throw a frisbee or jump into the waves.”

Stay occupied all day in the sand and water or perusing local shops and restaurants. The scale of the coastline makes it feasible to visit multiple beaches in one day, with maybe 20 minutes of travel in between.

“There’s a social aspect, there’s a recreational aspect and there’s just the relaxation,” Bassett said. “It’s [ocean] a location that works for anybody, whereas I don’t think inland beaches are the same.”

sons we offer are very affordable. For a lot of residents who can’t afford to go on vacation, the pools are the vacation for the kids when they’re out of school for the summer.”

Caggiano said the pool gets a mixed age demographic, with plenty of kids looking to play with their friends and adults coming for a dip or some exercise. (Nashua pools have periods of adults-only swim so the grown-ups can enjoy the water without all the splashing).

“Then there’s the sun worshippers that are there to hang in the sun, listen to the music, read a book [and] jump in for a quick dip,” he said. “For the kids, the young peo-

ple, it’s a social time too because they have their friends from the neighborhood.”

With multiple pools to choose from in both cities, residents have taken advantage of the easy fun, with 160 to 300 people visiting the Nashua pools each day and thousands swimming in Concord every summer.

“We do a daily attendance at all the pools and over the season have 30,000 to 35,000 coming in and out at different hours,” Gill said.

Concord pools are open seven days a week and are free for Concord and Penacook residents.

“I think it’s a great benefit for the quality of life. [The pools are] well-used and appreciated in the city,” Gill said.

Each of Concord’s seven pools is located within a city park, near playgrounds, ballfields or grassy areas for additional non-pool fun, and Nashua’s three pools are all located near playgrounds or other activity areas.

“Most are located near a park complex, so a lot of families take advantage of the day and use the adjacent playground, have a picnic — they make a day of it,” Caggiano said.

Water park wonders

If you’re willing to navigate through crowds of water enthusiasts of all ages, keep the day’s activities exciting and diverse at a water park with everything from slides and splash pads to snack shacks and wave pools.

“I remember as a kid what I loved was the diversity of what a water park would offer,” said Brent Beckett of Brand One Strategies and Solutions, which does marketing and promotions for Liquid Planet Water Park in Candia.

“You’re at the beach and you’ve got the ocean and the sand … it’s not really changing,” he said. “Where at a [water] park you can go down one slide, zipline ... It’s just a multitude of activities that make it exciting.”

occupied, Beckett said, Liquid Planet’s “wheelhouse is the young family,” who like the setting a water park provides.

“When I go around and talk to families one of the things I hear from the parents is they love the contained environment,” he said. “It’s relaxed, it’s clean, but they [parents] can also enjoy a day. They can sit in a shaded lounge chair and their kids are right there.”

Lorraine Petrini, sales and marketing manager at Water Country, said Water Country is a central location for those looking to be near New Hampshire’s coast for the day or longer.

“Portsmouth is a great area to go to the beach and downtown Portsmouth and then here, so there's lots of things to do in the area,” she said.

Destination: lakeside

Not only does New Hampshire have ocean access, it also has plenty of lakes — 959 that are greater than 10 acres, according to nhtourguide.com. That includes Lake Winnipesaukee, the state’s largest by a long shot (44,586 acres, compared to the next largest, Squam Lake, at

6,764 acres, according to new-hampshirenh.com).

Spending a day on a lake as big as Winnipesaukee holds myriad possibilities for boating, fishing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, swimming, dining, strolling, shopping and sightseeing. Trying to fit in everything the lake has to offer could be overwhelming, says Amy Landers, executive director of Lakes Region Tourism Association.

“It’s really [about] taking a look at what you want in your day,” she said. “What are you picturing? Do you want a quiet beach or things for the kids to do?”

What larger lakes like Winnipesaukee, Squam and Winnisquam have over smaller lakes is the opportunity to do things on a larger scale (longer boat rides! bigger boats!) and to have a nice dinner on the water or go shopping in the same area where you spent the day water-skiing.

“With a lake like Winnipesaukee, one of the benefits is there are several different

ports,” Landers said.

The five major ports are Weirs Beach, Meredith, Center Harbor, Wolfeboro and Alton Bay. “They have dock space and activities so once you’ve tied up your boat you can walk or shop or dine … and those ports are probably more accessible because there’s more dock space and more to do once you get to the port,” she said.

Wolfeboro: Active port with beachside boardwalk items for sale like costume jewelry, T-shirts, hats and sweatshirts as well as upscale unique shops.

Board Molly the Trolley at Town Docks to visit the Wright Museum, New Hampshire Boat Museum and Wolfeboro Historical Society.

Meredith: Enjoy upscale shopping from clothing to books to artwork. Stop by Mill Falls Marketplace to shop, dine and walk the scenic grounds with views of the lake. Also see Leavitt Park public beach, Stoneham Island wildlife preserve and the American Police Motorcycle Museum.

Weirs Beach: Good for families with children. Head to the public beach, ride go-karts, see a drive-in movie, visit Daytona Fun Park for bumper boats, climbing wall and batting cages or Funspot with arcade games, indoor mini-golf and 20-lane ten-pin and candlepin bowling.

Smaller ports include Moultonborough, Tuftonboro, Alton, Gilford, Melvin Village and Laconia. With quieter atmospheres, Landers said, those ports are good for swimming or even just anchoring in a cove to fish off the boat or enjoy lunch.

Wildlife-lovers and hikers can head to the smaller ports to visit Loon Preservation Center & Markus Wildlife Sanctuary in Moultonborough, with upland forests, marshes, a pond, streams and over 5,000 feet of undeveloped shoreline; to Tuftonboro to hike Bald Peak, or to Gilford for beautiful views in the Belknap Mountains and mountain biking, hiking and skateboarding at Gunstock Recreation Area.

“There’s a lot of ways to be out on Winnipesaukee, whether you have your own boat or rent, [and] the M/S Mount Washington has daily cruises,” Landers said.

“There's also the mail boat that goes out and they deliver mail to the islands on Winnipesaukee.”

In the Lakes Region, you can still have a large-lake experience with a more relaxed feeling if Winnipesaukee seems overwhelming.

“Winnisquam is a much quieter lake, a great size for canoeing, paddleboarding…,” Landers said.

It also offers some of its big sister’s amenities, like rentals and public beaches and “opportunities for people to meet and kids to swim and get to know each other.”

Check out public beaches at Ahern State Park and Bartlett Beach in Laconia for swimming, fishing, walking trails and picnic areas.

A look at local lakes

For some, planning and packing for a long drive to a large lake may not be the most appealing way to get some fresh air and water. Fortunately, there are all sorts of options when it comes to local lakes, from town beaches to state parks.

“There is something for everyone when it comes to our lakes and ponds,” said Andrea LaMoreaux, vice president of the New Hampshire Lakes Association, a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting New Hampshire lakes through education and advocacy.

“There are approximately 1,000, [so] you don’t have to go very far,” she said.

“We have a lot of smaller, hidden, tucked away ponds and lakes.”

The size of the water body doesn’t necessarily tell you what is available at any given lake, LaMoreaux said. Lakes both

big and small vary with choices for a calm, peaceful and serene setting or lots of activities and commotion.

Baboosic Lake in Amherst offers opportunities for swimming, volleyball, grilling, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding and has a local-lake atmosphere, according to Amherst Parks and Recreation Director Craig Fraley.

“It’s more accessible, easier to get to, and it offers a lot of the same amenities that some of the bigger pieces of water have,” Fraley said. “And if weather changes you don’t feel like you're stuck there because it’s very close by.”

Goffstown Parks and Recreation Director Rick Wilhelmi echoed that sentiment.

“I just think any time you have a body of water that close to you it’s a great way to relax, cool off, enjoy the beauty of having that lake right there instead of driving many

ARTS Another year at the fair

League of New Hampshire Craftsmen holds 82nd Sunapee fair Between booths

By Kelly Sennott

After a two-year hiatus, the New Hampshire Art Association returns to the fair with member artwork on display in the Spruce Lodge. This year, the Leaugue also hosts an educational fiber arts tent, sponsored by the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, with sheep, rabbits and traditional fiber art demonstrations (like weaving and quilting).

Also at the fair, you’ll find a sculpture garden and a “CraftWear” (stylish art-to-wear clothing and jewelry) and “Living With Craft” exhibition (showcasing handmade furniture, wall hangings and home decor).

There are numerous workshops in all media — printmaking, leather working, clay, glassblowing, felted jewelry — and also guided tours, seminars, fine craft demonstrations, caricature artists and puppet, juggling and music shows.

ksennott@hippopress.com

For League of New Hampshire Craftsmen members and staff, July and August bring about some of the busiest days of the year.

On these days, crafters are either prepping for the annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s Fair in Sunapee, finalizing inventory and cramming in last-minute details, or they’re selling the hundreds of items they’ve been working on all year. Newly appointed League Executive Director Jane Oneail expects constant activity at the 2015 fair, happening Aug. 1 through Aug. 9.

“For everybody on staff, it’s all hands on deck. We all have radio walkie-talkies at Mount Sunapee, as I understand it’s a lot of running around. I’ve been told to wear comfortable shoes,” Oneail said via phone last week.

This year’s event boasts work by 350 juried artists, with 200 individual craft booths — though, Oneail said, “booth” might be the wrong word. Rather, each is a work of construction with walls, floor and lighting, set up like an individual room underneath big white tents.

“Each booth has been carefully curated.

Some of [the craftsmen] spend the whole year getting ready for the Craftsmen’s Fair, and they might make their whole year’s salary while they’re there,” Oneail said. “It’s a very important event in New Hampshire’s creative economy.”

Attend the 2015 League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s Fair Where: Mount Sunapee Resort, 1398 Route 103, Newbury, mountsunapee.com, 763-3500 When: Saturday, Aug. 1, through Sunday, Aug. 9, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day Admission: $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, students, free for children 12 and younger Schedule: There’s a daily schedule at nhcrafts.org.

New artists

Those weeks leading up to the fair are especially challenging for new booth holders, many of whom have to worry not only about making sure they’ve made enough to fill a booth, but also that their booth itself is suitable for the prestigious fair.

Erica Walker, a North Sutton silver jewelry artist, was picking up panels for hers during her phone interview less than two weeks before the fair’s start. She became juried into the League last year, too late to participate in the 2014 event. She’s shown in fairs and markets all over, but none so high-scale as this.

“I see [League membership] as a kind of feather in your cap. The fair, for me, is one of the highest-end shows I’ve ever done,” Walker said. “These are the artists and craftspeople I’ve been looking up to the past 20 years. …

It’s a milestone of sorts in my career.”

Erin Moran, a clay artist from Portsmouth, spends the better part of the winter bulking up inventory. Her pieces are inspired by contemporary and folk art, with bright colors and whimsical details. This will be her first time at the fair.

“I’m looking forward to seeing some of the exhibitions. Some of them are set up like living rooms, and it’s always nice to see dif-

24 Art

ferent artists’ work put together in a cohesive setting,” she said. “I think it will be nice to experience all the aspects of the fair … seeing what other people are doing as well.”

Lisa DeMio — a Hampstead artist who makes wallets, totes, cosmetic and traveler bags from canvas, cotton, linen and leather — is another new booth holder, excited to get in-person feedback at the fair. She finds this particularly refreshing, as she spends most of her working time alone in a studio.

“I love being with customers and getting that one-on-one feedback. They give me some great ideas,” DeMio said.

She learns how to alter her products to better suit buyers by talking with them and watching them interact with her work.

They’ll show her whether a carrier strap is too long or too short, or what the demand is for a suburban tote vs. a bag with zippers. She’s spent the better part of her career meandering around the Massachusetts arts and craft fairs and markets, but she’s looking forward to connecting with shoppers from New Hampshire and beyond. “[The League] gets such a good following. They don’t just draw in for New Hampshire; they draw from all over the country,” DeMio said.

Kid-friendly

For the kids, there’s an all-day pottery school, a “Next Generation” tent that gives budding craftsmen the chance to showcase work and gain entrepreneurial experience (interacting with customers, making sales and processing transactions) and a “Tools for Kids” tent run by retired League craftsman Dave Emerson.

Kids can stop by this tent at any point during the day and try out woodworking tools with adult supervision. If they so desire, they can make and take home a wooden spoon.

Emerson said the kids love using these items — coping saws, egg beater drills, miter boxes and shaving horses. He especially enjoys seeing what he calls their “I can do this!” facial expressions.

“I think we’re always really concerned about making the fair as appealing to audiences as possible, particularly multi-generational audiences,” Oneail said. “I hear so much of, ‘I’ve been going to the fair for 20, 30 years,’ and, ‘I started bringing my son or daughter here since he/she was a baby.’ Attending the fair has always been a multi-generational activity, and we try to have workshops and demonstrations and all sorts of programming that will appeal to all ages.”

This production is traveling all over the Monadnock region — upcoming shows happen Thursday, July 30, at 7:30 p.m. at the Mariposa Museum (26 Main St., Peterborough); Friday, July 31, at 7:30 p.m., at the Congregational Church of Amherst (11 Church St., Amherst); and Saturday, Aug. 1, at 11 a.m., at the Temple Town Hall (Main St., Temple) — and because of venue sponsorship and grants, the shows are free to attend.

Production directors CJ Lewis and John McCluggage have helped a group of eight young artists re-interpret Shakespeare’s tale of lost lovers, mischievous fairies and want-to-be actors in a way that reflects today’s modern styles.

If you want to see a change in how we fund the arts, locally or nationally, now’s the time for action. The plan? Ask the presidential candidates for support.

A handful of experts helped about 50 locals — artists, arts administrators, arts educators, board members of arts institutions, etc. — become arts advocates last week at ArtsVote New Hampshire Advocacy Training. The event, held at the Currier Museum of Art, was led by Nina Ozlu Tunceli, executive director for the Americans for the Arts Action Fund, and it marked the beginning of the organization’s campaign, ArtsVote2016, which aims to advance the role of arts and arts education in the 2016 presidential campaign.

To do this, the D.C.-based organization is zeroing in on Iowa (ArtsVote Iowa) and New Hampshire (ArtsVote New Hampshire).

“The goal for the [ArtsVote New Hampshire] campaign is to engage presidential candidates as well as congressional candidates on the importance of arts and arts education in America,” Tunceli said via phone last week. “It’s a special opportunity for artists and arts advocates in New Hampshire to take a grassroots leadership role in a national campaign that will not only affect citizens in New Hampshire, but also the rest of the country.”

The July 21 event ran long because of interest and featured numerous local speakers, including Tim Sink from the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce and Sarah Stewart from b-fresh consulting, who will be the New Hampshire face of the ArtsVote New Hampshire campaign. She lives in Manchester and has managed or been involved with numerous presidential campaigns, including John McCain’s, Tim Pawlenty’s and Jon Huntsman’s. She sits on the board of New Hampshire Citizens for the Arts.

The foremost tool the participants received, Stewart said, was information on where the candidates stand and fact sheets about the importance of arts in the state and national economies. For example, in New Hampshire there are 3,505 arts-related businesses that employ 10,346 people.

Nationally, the arts and culture sector makes up 4.3 percent of our GDP, more than construction or transportation and warehousing; there’s more information at artsactionfund.

org/pages/artsvote-nh.

“We want our advocates to have a little research before they go to talk with Chris Christie at a town hall meeting,” Stewart said.

“But the whole approach is to remain positive and provide a meaningful conversation with the candidates — not to push the candidate in the corner on the issue, but to have a dialogue with them in a relatable way.”

The event was the first of what will be many meetings and conference calls among advocates throughout the primary season.

Tunceli said the organization has taken different approaches in the past; for the 2008 election, an individual staff member set up a New Hampshire office and tried to engage candidates at various forums.

“Four years ago, we did an event at the Capitol Center for the Arts where we invited candidates to come and speak at a forum and talk about their positions on the arts,” Tunceli said. “We learned a lot from those two ways of doing it. There were pluses and minuses in each one of those cases.”

She thinks the current game plan is the most strategic and could be the most effective.

“When you only have one person being your eyes and ears, you can only get so far,” Tunceli said.

Stewart agreed.

“It’s clear to me that, to be impactful during a presidential primary, you need to be authentic and connect with local, real people. That’s the only way you can make this work. Some groups drop lots of money on TV ads and fanfare the last month of the presidential primary with the hope of making an impact, but this is a very different approach,” Stewart said. “It a shoestring budget with lots of voices. … When a candidate comes to a library to speak — or a local town hall or local opera house — there are real people who live in that town who will be there and share why, on a local level, it’s important to invest in the arts.”

Stewart said she hopes this energy will move, not just through the primary season, but after it as well.

“I’m really excited [Americans for the Arts are] investing their time and resources in New Hampshire,” Stewart said. “When they conclude this very specific project in 2016, they’re leaving us with a database and relationships that we’ll be able to build. …

What we’ve seen in the past, in New Hampshire and in other states — people advocate for the arts every two years during the budget decisions. What we’d like to do is create an advocacy organization that spans all political parties, and geographically covers all of the state. … It can be something that’s happening all the time.”

with adults 55 and older. The workshops are held in relation to research that has shown that seniors involved in intense participatory arts programs report better health, fewer doctor visits and less medication than their peers. These workshops provide research on arts and aging, explore what’s different about adult learning, analyze best practices and help participants combine arts and education skills to form a strong basis for working with older adults.

There’s one Wednesday, Sept. 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kilton Library (80 Main St., West Lebanon), and another Thursday, Sept. 17, from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at GoodLife Programs and Activities (254 N.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE A week in the past

Antiquers flock to New Hampshire for Antiques Week

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Hundreds of antiques dealers from across the country will be bringing their most prized items for a number of shows and auctions as part of Antiques Week in New Hampshire, happening Saturday, Aug. 1, through Saturday, Aug. 8. The largest show of the week is the three-day-long New Hampshire Antiques Show, put on by the New Hampshire Antiques Dealers Association.

“There’s a bunch of other shows, but this is the culminating event of antiques week, and for many dealers, the culmination of their year,” event publicist Laura McBrien said.

“On the first day, people will literally start lining up at two in the morning. By the time the show opens at 10 [a.m.] the line is already out the door.”

The show will have 67 dealers who have been preparing all year, saving their best pieces for the show and carefully designing their booth presentations. McBrien said some dealers even get special lighting and backdrops for their booths.

The types of antiques featured run the gamut, but the show is primarily known for its American antiques and folk art. Most people who attend the show are serious antiquers with specific antiques in mind.

But admission is free for people ages 30 and younger in hopes of broadening the demographic.

“The [NHADA’s] concern is that antiquing is more for an older generation,” McBrien said. “There are people there under 30, but not as many as you’d hope. We’d really like to attract more younger people and would love for them to have an appreciation for antiques and their historical value and the time periods they represent.”

Antiques Week isn’t only for antique collectors and connoisseurs.

For those who aren’t looking to buy, the shows are an opportunity to see rare pieces of history.

“It’s like walking through a historical museum,” McBrien said, “and each dealer is knowledgeable about the pieces they are showcasing, so you can appreciate the show on so many levels.”

Beech Hill Farm opens its seasonal corn mazes

answers to questions like “what animal has three hearts?” and “what is the slowest fish in the ocean?”

Kimball said each maze takes about 30 to 40 minutes to complete, and that most people do all three. She recommends tackling the mazes in small groups of two to four.

“In a herd, it’s hard to decide where you’re going,” she said. “It’s more fun to break up into teams so that everyone can participate in problem solving and answering the questions and deciding where to go.”

Beech Hill Farm has a long history, dating back to 1771, and has been owned and operated by nine generations of the Kimball family. They started the corn mazes 10 years ago to give visitors a new, educational activity to do at the farm. In addition to the mazes, Beech Hill Farm also features an ice cream barn, a nature trail, a country store and farm animals on view.

“A lot of other small family farms in New Hampshire had to sell because it became too difficult to make ends meet, so we’ve had to get creative to keep the farm going,” Kimball said. “People love to come choose pumpkins, see the animals, do the corn mazes. All of these pieces are what make it unique and make it work.”

It may be too early for pumpkins and hayrides, but Beech Hill Farm is getting a jump on the fall season with its corn mazes, open to the public beginning Saturday, Aug. 1.

The farm features three mazes with different themes each year. This year’s mazes are “Space Exploration,” “New England Patriots” and “Wild About Animals.”

“It’s become a real New England tradition as far as agritourism goes,” said Holly Kimball, who designs the corn mazes. “People like to have an activity and are always excited when the mazes open, so we figure, if the mazes are up and ready, there’s no sense in waiting [until the fall].”

Kimball, who has a background in education, said she creates the mazes with an educational element, making them a popular activity for camps, school groups and families. The mazes are smaller than most traditional midwestern corn mazes, with the largest being 4 acres. Having three smaller mazes rather than one large one allows for larger groups and provides varying levels of difficulty to appeal to people of all ages.

The mazes are set up like a scavenger hunt. Before they begin, participants will be given a brochure with puzzles and clues.

The answers are revealed on signs scattered throughout the maze. Each maze has between 20 and 30 signs to find.

“It’s made to be a little more interactive than just walking in and coming out,” Kimball said. “There’s something to do while you’re in there, which sets us apart from a lot of mazes... and it gives groups and families a great activity where they have to work together and do it cooperatively.”

The “Space Exploration” maze, made in the shape of a rocket ship, is inspired by NASA’s 50th anniversary of the first American astronaut to walk in space. This is the largest and most challenging of the three mazes. Participants will have to solve a crossword puzzle with questions like “what was the first meal eaten in space?” and “where is the largest volcano in the solar system located?”

Sports fans may appreciate the “New England Patriots” maze where they’ll have to answer trivia questions like “what year did the New England Patriots play their first season?” as well as “name that hall-of-fame-r.”

“Wild About Animals” is the best maze for young children, Kimball said. It’s small and laid out in the shape of an octopus.

Participants will have a game board-type activity where they’ll have to find the

Sometimes the effort doesn’t pay off

By Henry Homeyer

listings@hippopress.com

I try not to be too compulsive but admit that I counted every sour cherry I picked from my tree this year. Aside from a few I ate while picking, I got 111 cherries — not enough for a pie. I planted the tree some 15 years ago, and this was my best crop. Last year I threatened it with the chain saw, and it upped its production from 5 or 6 to over 100 cherries. Maybe next year it will produce a thousand. Maybe not. I’ll probably cut it down.

Fruit trees, I’ve always been told, do not like “wet feet.” By that I mean their roots should be in soil that is not consistently wet.

Apples, pears, peaches, cherries and plums grow best in rich soil with full sun and well drained but lightly moist soil. Most of my full sun is alongside a brook with a water table that is consistently high — within 2 feet in dry times, a foot or less in spring. So, back in the 1980s, when I was young and full of pep, I built a terrace to grow fruit trees.

A friend had a dilapidated stone wall along his road that he had picked over, taking the nicest flat stones for a wall elsewhere on his land. But he said I could take anything I wanted, warning me that building with round stones is not easy. It wasn’t. But the price was right, and I had a little trailer, so I hauled rocks, a dozen at a time, to my back yard. I built an 80-foot retaining wall and bought topsoil to backfill behind it. The truck couldn’t get to the site, so I moved many dump truck-loads the final distance by wheelbarrow. Ah, to be young and foolish again.

I feel like I‘ve done a lot for this darn cherry tree, and I’m pretty sure I’ll cut it down this year or next. I know my inbox will be full of mail asking me to spare the tree. But my thought is, if a tree does not live up to expectations and you have given it a fair chance, get out the chain saw. I have limited space for fruit trees. And 111 cherries is not worth the space.

The irony is that since I built the wall and planted fruit trees, I have had good luck planting them in the field near my stream. I just built up something akin to a major league pitcher’s mound, and planted where the pitcher would stand, 10 feet across, and rising up about a foot. I’ve planted plums and apples, and all have done fine. So maybe that old saying about fruit trees not liking wet feet is bogus.

Meanwhile, I mowed down my blackberry patch earlier this summer. I planted a 50-foot row about 30 years ago, and the patch has slowly gone downhill. For many years it was great, and I was only able to keep the bushes contained with a mower. But recently each year there were more fungal diseases, and less production. So I will hire someone to plow

the land, and rototill the roots. Then I will cover it with black plastic for the rest of the summer to kill the weeds and roots.

Next year I will plant that patch in strawberries. I will plant some June-bearing plants, probably Earliglow, that produce their entire crop in a 3-week period. They are great for freezing, and for general gluttony. But I will also plant some day-neutral berries or everbearing plants that produce smaller numbers over a longer period.

Most strawberries depend on the length of the day to tell them when it is time to produce fruit. Day-neutral berries are not dependent on that. The last time I grew dayneutral berries I got a nice fall crop the first year, then some berries all summer the following years, with a bigger bump in the fall.

The berries were smaller than most June berries, the size of a dime to a quarter.

This spring I was at Edgewater Farm in Plainfield and was seduced by a lovely pineapple plant. It displayed lots of long, strap-like leaves similar to that of an aloe plant. And best of all, it had a pineapple growing on top!

It was expensive — $25 — but I bought it anyway. I knew, from living in Africa, that pineapple plants only produce one fruit, then die. But I also knew that it is possible to start a second plant from the first.

My pineapple lived on the deck in partial sunshine. Come mid-July, the fruit ripened to a deep yellow and then flopped over on its stem. I tied it up. It flopped anyway. I decided it was time to eat it. It was tasty, but barely one serving after peeling and coring it. Right now the plant looks good, and I’m hoping it will develop a side-shoot. If not, the experiment will be done. Meanwhile, my avocado plant I started from a pit is doing great.

Plant a fruit tree, sit back and relax, harvest the fruit. That’s the ideal. In reality, my cherries cost me many dollars each, if I add in the cost of the tree, the soil and minimum wage for my time building the wall to create the space. And you know what? The cherries aren’t even very good eating! Live and learn.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Finding a good car for mom Dear Car Talk: I haven’t owned a car for over 20 years; I don’t need one. But my mom fell, broke her hip and had to be moved out of her home and into an indepenBy Ray Magliozzi dent living situation.

Mom can no longer drive, and her old pickup is impossible for her to get in and out of, even as a passenger. And it’s not a good choice for city driving anyway. So now I need a car to get my mom around.

I have rented 14 different cars, checking for: Can Mom get in and out; do a wheelchair and third passenger fit; is it safe and reliable; and does it get good gas mileage? I went to several Toyota dealerships and ended up walking out feeling like I needed to be decontaminated, and thinking, “I am not going to give that guy one cent of my money.”

Any recommendations of cars that meet the above criteria? And do you have any good advice on buying a new car that does not involve having to talk with a dealer?

Many thanks for the years of laughter and any advice you have to offer. — Heather

Well, your mom’s comfort is completely subjective, of course. But I would think a good bet for her would be cars that are in a category called “compact crossovers.”

A crossover is a vehicle that’s a cross between a car and an SUV. It’s a car built on a car chassis, with an SUV body style.

So crossovers drive like cars, get better mileage like cars and tend to be safer and more comfortable, like cars.

But their seating position is higher off the ground than a car’s, though lower than in a truck or SUV. When the seat level of the car is the same as your derriere, that means you don’t have to climb up or fall down to get into the car. That’s probably what Mom would find easiest. Crossovers also have wagonlike cargo compartments — for stashing a wheelchair, for instance.

The so-called compact crossovers are just smaller, more economical crossovers.

It sounds like economy and maneuverability are priorities for you. So if you haven’t looked at vehicles like the Kia Soul, Nissan Rogue, Honda HR-V, Subaru Forester or Buick Encore, just to name a few, those are worth a try. You also might visit the Special Needs Zone of our website, cartalk.com, which has a bunch of resources for people with car-related

mobility issues.

In terms of how to buy one, it’s hard to completely avoid a dealer when you’re buying a new car. But at least do the negotiating on your own turf these days. There are a number of websites that will allow you to research a car, configure it the way you want and then ask several local dealerships for a price, all online. Sites like BestRide.com, cars.com and truecar.com offer some form of that service.

The trick in using those sites is to know pretty much exactly what you want before you start the process, and handle the negotiation by email so you aren’t put under pressure. For instance, if you decided you want a blue Nissan Rogue SL with leather seats, you’ll be able to send that request to several dealerships. And once they respond, you can tell them you prefer to correspond by email, and ask them for the “out-the-door price” of the exact car you want. Tell them you want to know the amount of the bank check you need to bring with you in order to drive off with the car.

Asking for the complete, final price, including taxes, dealer prep, registration and the little strip of paper that says “Sanitized for your convenience,” has several

advantages — not the least of which is that you won’t be surprised by additional charges later on. And if you are, you say: “Oh, sorry, I already had the bank make out the check for the amount we agreed on. Do you want to sell me the car, or do you want me to go away?”

But it also allows you to compare apples to apples, so you can see which dealer is really offering you the best price.

And then you can choose between the dealerships based on whatever variables are most important to you: price, distance from your house, reputation, the way they handled the negotiation or the reported quality of their waiting room coffee.

If you agree on a total, out-the-door price by email, you won’t have to go through the song and dance in the showroom, with the salesman going to ask his manager if he can throw in the embroidered floor mats if you promise to buy the car “today.” That pressurized drama is what many people object to when buying a car.

So take your time, figure out what you want, and do as much of it as you can in writing by email. Good luck to you and Mom, Heather.

would be no mystery.

... I performed all around Boston. They had many coaches and that’s kind of where I got my start. And after that I pursued my own personalized coaching.

Kerren McKeeman Trapeze artist

Kerren McKeeman is a trapeze artist from Hollis on tour with Cirque du Soleil: Varekai, which is set in a magical forest at the base of a volcano populated by fantastical creatures.

Explain in one sentence what your current job is.

I created an act on the trapeze that I hope when placed in the Varekai story can inspire people and speak to them. … I work on a single point trapeze — so, if you can imagine, it’s a triangular shape — and I fly through the air and it’s pretty dynamic.

and she was a phys ed teacher at my elementary school. She was a professional mime, and she taught us a lot about movement and performance and circus. That was the beginning. … I had been doing gymnastics and dance a little bit before that, but she kind of focused everything for me and I realized how versatile circus arts can be.

She kind of set me on my way.

How long have you worked there?

I’ve been with Varekai for three years.

What is your typical atwork uniform?

I wear a costume. It’s gold and bright yellow, and it shines. … We all do our own makeup and mine takes about an hour. I put that on every day. They’re all designed for our faces and our characters.

How did you find your current job?

Well, I auditioned for Cirque du Soleil and there was an opening for trapeze.

I actually left my solo number to join the show in 2012 because they had an opening in the triple trapeze act.

I just did my solo act back stack, kept it going. Then the show changed a little bit for arena showing.

What was the first job you ever had?

We started our own company and we were doing shows, just local shows for other Waldorf schools. …

Kerren McKeeman But, I guess you could say my first job was on crew at What’s the best piece of work-related Circus Smirkus. advice anyone’s ever given you?

— Ryan Lessard Rob Mermin, the director and creator and founder of Circus Smirkus, he told me that every moment in the ring was sacred. Five favorites I think that was some pretty good advice.

Grab your thigh-high boots and blond wig —or just a pair of shorts and sandals— and hit the streets of downtown Nashua as the fourth season of Downtown Dinner & Movie kicks off on Wednesday, Aug. 5, with a dinner presented by Stella Blu and a screening of Pretty Woman.

A partnership between the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce, Chris Malloy and Community Events and downtown Nashua restaurants that began in 2012, the summer series will pair restaurants with classic movies for three events this year.

“The idea behind it was to really celebrate the community and find a way to bring people downtown in a fun, evening summertime celebration kind of way,” President and CEO of Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce Tracy Hatch said in a phone interview.

East Pearl Street, blocked off between Main and Spring streets, will be transformed into an open air restaurant complete with tables, chairs, tablecloths, centerpieces and wait staff from Stella Blu. “They’re set up as if you were having dinner and watching a movie,” Hatch said. “They [servers] will come out and take orders.”

Downtown Dinner & Movie: Pretty Woman & Stella Blu When: Wednesday, Aug. 5, from 7 to 11 p.m.

Where: East Pearl Street, Nashua Tickets: $8 in advance, $10 the day of for the movie; dinner is priced separately.

See nashuachamber.com/events

Whenever possible, the goal is to pair restaurants and movies in a cohesive if not definitively themed way. For example, last summer Surf Restaurant served its seafood alongside a screening of Jaws, and later this month Fratello’s will provide the food while patrons watch The Italian Job (on Wednesday, Aug. 19).

“We tried to think of movies that would complement the ambiance of the food and the restaurant,” Hatch said.

Though there may not be a direct correlation, Hatch thinks Stella Blu’s cocktails will go very nicely with a viewing of Pretty Woman.

Attire for the evening is as casual or as dressy as each guest desires, she said, although joining in with the theme of the movie is encouraged.

“For Pretty Woman, if people want to dress the part and wear cocktail attire, that would be awesome,” Hatch said. “If wom-

en want to break out their stiletto heels, they absolutely can.”

A lighthearted and fun way to spend a summer night, Hatch said events like this are key to keeping the community strong, which is very important to the chamber.

“I think people have a conception of the chamber as being purely a … business focused, really serious [organization] ...but we are more than that,” she said. “A healthy and strong and vital community … is critical for us to be successful so everything we can do to highlight and participate in bringing that vitality to life is important to us.”

Dinner and cocktails will begin on East Pearl Street at 7 p.m. and continue until dusk, when it’s dark enough to start the movie. Dinner (typically a selection from the restaurant’s regular menu) will be served up until showtime, and drinks service will continue throughout the film.

Bitcoins for chocolate

Manchester shop now accepts digital currency

By Allie Ginwala

aginwala@hippopress.com

Dancing Lion Chocolate in downtown Manchester recently announced that Bitcoin will now be accepted at its Elm Street location and online store.

An “old techie” and former physicist, Richard Tango-Lowy, master chocolatier and owner of Dancing Lion Chocolate, heard about Bitcoin when it was first created but didn’t think of it as something he’d adopt for his shop. Pegging it as an “interesting concept,” he decided to wait and see how the currency would pan out.

It wasn’t until a couple of Bitcoin users stopped by Dancing Lion last year to ask if he would consider accepting the digital currency that it crossed his mind as a possibility.

“I said no ...we’ve got a lot going on so come back to me and talk to me in a year,” Tango-Lowy said.

And that’s exactly what they did. The Bitcoin users returned, and this time Tango-Lowy said yes based on three conditions — it had to be easy to use, extremely safe and secure and cheap.

“They came in and [were] able to hit all of those pretty easy,” he said.

Dancing Lion immediately launched a

30-day test run during the month of May to work out any glitches and make sure it was a good fit.

“That went just so well that by the third week in May we couldn’t think of any reason not to continue doing it,” he said. “It really was as easy and trivial and transparent as you would ask it to be.”

Taking on a new currency

For Tango-Lowy, the appeal of accepting Bitcoin wasn’t for the sake of novelty, but because of the possibilities it opens for his customer base.

Dancing Lion Chocolate now accepts the digital currency Bitcoin. Photo by Allie Ginwala.

“I found them because they accept Bitcoin,” Clemens said. “I’ve been lucky enough to travel a lot for food. I went to culinary school and I like food a lot, so I was really stoked to try their chocolates. They’re really fantastic.”

Customers like Clemens are an example of the new patrons who have been exposed to Dancing Lion simply because the shop RICHARD TANGO-LOWY has become part of the local Bitcoin user awareness.

“When communities can circle themselves around these kinds of technologies, it makes it much more secure and so as far as asking businesses to get involved, yeah, I think that is the very simple thing,” Clemens said. “And we’re lucky here within Manchester because within the Free State Project there’s a lot of people here that are very active in the Bitcoin community that are willing [and] know how to start those conversations.”

“I think it would be cool if Manchester were more of a hub of [Bitcoin], because we do have quite a few people and it really is easy to do,” Tango-Lowy said.

Dancing Lion typically does about $100 a week in Bitcoin, he said, some from those who visit just because he does take Bitcoin.

There are other businesses in the state that accept Bitcoin, including Murphy’s Taproom, but not many thus far.

“There is a perceptual hump to get over.

People don’t understand it and they’re less likely to deal with what they don’t understand,” Tango-Lowy said. “I think we have to get people over the fears and they have to see the benefits.”

These aren’t people who would typically stumble into our kind of chocolate shop.

Since Dancing Lion started accepting Bitcoin in May, a local group of Bitcoin users has made the shop a weekly gathering place to enjoy ice cream, brownies and drinking chocolate paid for with the digital currency.

During a recent meeting, the group gathered around the register, chatting with Tango-Lowy and each other about the latest RFID chip alternative to the phonebased Bitcoin wallet, the Bitcoin ATM at Murphy’s Taproom, and what the day’s ice cream flavors were.

“These aren’t people who would typically stumble into our kind of a chocolate shop,” Tango-Lowy said, noting that a large portion of his customers who use Bitcoin are Free Staters. “They’ve been great for us [and] they’ve been really good to us. And they come in over and over again. Some of them have become real regulars.”

Randy Clemens was among the group of Bitcoin users who visited Dancing Lion on a recent Friday afternoon. He moved to Manchester from Los Angeles three months ago and has been visiting with the group each Friday for the past three weeks. He was first introduced to Dancing Lion through the weekly meetup.

“We do crazy things here, but we don’t do novelty, we do our own thing,” Tango-Lowy said. “We’ve got a lot of people with Bitcoins in their wallets, and there aren’t very many places for them to spend it so we give them a place and we give them something good for it. It’s a good exchange.”

The in-store exchange turned out to be very simple — all you need is a smartphone.

Dancing Lion keeps an old smartphone at the register that only has two purposes: playing music and accepting Bitcoin transactions.

The way it works is if a customer comes in to buy a brownie for $3.50, for example, a staff member simply opens the Bitcoin app to request a payment for that amount and a QR code pops up. The customer opens his Bitcoin wallet, holds it up to scan the code and in about 10 seconds it’s done.

“We’ll get an email from CoinBase, we print it out, throw it in the register [and] that’s the whole transaction,” Tango-Lowy said.

Dancing Lion uses Coinbase, a Bitcoin wallet and exchange where merchants and consumers can transact with the digital currency, according to coinbase.com.

Whenever a Bitcoin transaction is made at Dancing Lion, the money goes to Coinbase and, based on the setup Tango-Lowy chose, is translated directly into dollars.

A Delicious, Nutritious, Summer Treat for Your Vegetarian Guests & Everyone Else!

When sommelier Svetlana Yanushkevich plans a dinner, she always starts with the wine selection.

“Very often you need to start with selecting wine and go from wine to food instead of food to wine,” Yanushkevich, the owner of WineNot Boutique and The Wine Steward, said in a phone interview.

“You can adjust food, but you can’t adjust wine.”

WineNot Boutique presents Summer Wine Dinner on the Deck at the Crowne Plaza in Nashua on Thursday, July 30. It’s the third in a series of dinners that began earlier this year.

Yanushkevich held the first wine dinner after a Crowne Plaza manager suggested partnering their location and executive chef with Yanushkevich’s wine knowledge.

“One of our biggest specialties is educational wine events, food and wine pairing events,” she said. “So we decided to try it out.”

The summer evening dinner will feature five courses from Executive Chef Todd Lytle, including raspberry brie phyllo with baby arugula and citrus peach gastrique and smoked cracked pepper tenderloin with fig balsamic jam and rosemary scented crostini, all designed to complement wines from Art + Farm Wine in Napa, Calif.

Summer Wine Dinner on the Deck When: Thursday, July 30, at 6:30 p.m.

Where: Crowne Plaza Nashua, 2 Somerset Pkwy., Nashua Cost is $79 per person. Call WineNot Boutique (204-5569) or Crowne Plaza (886-1200) for reservations.

Yanushkevich worked with Lytle, describing the flavors and characteristics of each wine to help inspire his menu, which will consist of small servings to prevent guests from being overwhelmed by the multiple courses.

“Compared to many food and wine dinners we try to make smaller portions of food, because when you have a fivecourse dinner it’s sometimes too much,” she said.

She wants to ensure that guests can get the full experience of enjoying a meal while focusing on the handpicked wine pairing.

At this all-inclusive dining, sipping and learning event, throughout the evening guests will hear from Lytle, Yanushkevich and winemaker Rob McDonald about each of their areas of expertise.

“He [McDonald] will be speaking about his winemaking philosophy and wines and I will explain how as a sommelier, why I choose this wine to go with [this] food,” she said.

Wines featured at the dinner include The Girls in the Vineyard White Field Blend, The Messenger Red Wine Number One and The Messenger Red Wine Number Two. Yanushkevich hosted McDonald at her shop previously and is excited to hear him share his stories and winemaking philosophy with the Nashua community.

“We did an event at one of my shops and he has amazing stories to tell,” she said.

What she really appreciates about his wine is the fact that it stands out from the typical wines found in Napa.

“A lot of winemakers from Napa produce a very narrow type of wine,” she said. “He has a lot of unique grapes, different blending … very unique.”

What is the biggest food trend in New Hampshire right now?

CM: I really like the slow food movement here in New Hampshire, like a lot of the farmstand stuff, people growing their own.

KN: Organic, free range, farm fresh type stuff. That’s a big kick right there.

What is your favorite meal to cook at home?

CM: I make my own hamburger helper. I don’t use it out of the box but it’s cheap and it’s easy to make. I just cook up some vegetables and some hamburger meat and I’ll throw in either rice or pasta and just make it different every time.

KN: I like to make palak paneer and curry dhal. Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines. It’s easy to do, but it’s involved and it’s a bit of an investment of time. It’s something I can zen out in and do my thing and enjoy being in the kitchen.

What celebrity would you like to see eating at your restaurant?

CM: I guess I would say either Anthony Bourdain or Alton Brown. I respect what they do a lot. I feel like Anthony Bourdain would like the atmosphere here and probably have something to say about it and What is your favorite dish on your resAlton Brown, we could talk food together, taurant’s menu? making what we can with what we have.

What would you choose for your last meal?

CM: I think it would either have to be like authentic Jamaican jerk chicken or authentic Italian, maybe chicken scarpariello.

KN: A peanut butter and jelly sandwich my mother made, because you can taste the love.

Favorite restaurant besides your own?

CM: Well it’s not open anymore, but my uncle’s Italian restaurant down in Sebastian, Florida. It’s called Mama Mia’s Kitchen.

That’s kind of where I learned how to cook.

KN: Sake Bar Decibel in New York City.

Christopher “Luthor” Miranda and Kai “the kitchen wizard” Namesda were drawn to restaurant and future nanobrewery Area 23 (254 N. State St., Concord, thearea23.com) because of the strange and eclectic vibe that set it apart from the average sports bar. Bringing creativity to bar food, Area 23’s constantly rotating menu features fusion dishes like falafel calzones and beer bread that are accessible yet flavorful — and easy to eat without any utensils. Embracing the atmosphere of a test kitchen, Miranda and Namesda brainstorm new dishes by deconstructing, reconstructing and seeing where the ingredients take them.

Hake

Limited time offer

When it comes to fish, I’m not always super adventurous. I have my staples that I love and tend to stick with them, especially when ordering out. When I wanted to make fish tacos this week, however, I took a risk. When it comes to fish tacos, I typically grill halibut or tilapia, but my fish guy had another suggestion: hake. Just arrived to market and caught in the Gulf of Maine, this new (to me) fish seemed worth a try.

Hake is a white fish, in the same order as cod, haddock and halibut. It’s an inexpensive fish and not particularly glamorous but it’s quite good. It’s also listed on Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch as a “Good Alternative,” meaning that it is a fish pick that is relatively safe for the environment.

Grilled Hake Tacos ¾ pound fresh hake ¼ Vidalia onion, chopped Adobo seasoning Wrap hake in foil with onions and grill over medium/high heat. Turn part way through. Fish is cooked when opaque or lightly flaking. Dole onto tortillas (soft or hard, corn or flour) and top with salsa.

Seafood Watch reported in 2004 that it had mostly recovered from overfishing. I learned from Maine Sea Grant of the University of Maine that hake is most readily available from this area during the summer months because they migrate to shallower waters when it’s warm. They prefer deep water for the rest of the year.

Hake is loaded with good fats and protein, making it an excellent choice for dinner. I grilled mine with onions wrapped in foil and it was no mess and quite tasty.

Enjoy my recipe. — Allison Dudas Mango Salsa Tomatoes, chopped Mangos, peeled and chopped Avocado, peeled, pitted and chopped Cilantro, finely chopped Juice of one lime

Some people are surprised when I tell them New Hampshire has wineries. Actually, I remember hearing something about every state in the country having a winery in it. I am not sure if this is accurate, but the key to having a winery in any location is finding what works and using what you have.

Winemakers in New Hampshire can grow certain grapes here because they are hardy enough to stand up to our brutally cold winters. Many are French hybrids that will not die off every year, which is great. However, their names aren’t instantly recognizable (Cayuga, seyval blanc, marechal foch). This is when a winery visit can help guests figure out what they like, so they know what to drink and buy in the future.

Some winemakers have the desire and the know-how but lack space to grow grapes. This is where fruit wine (wine made from fruit other than grapes) comes in. Many people think fruit wine is super sweet and doesn’t resemble wine made from grapes, but this isn’t true.

Boone’s Farm may have given you one idea, but I encourage everyone to visit some of our wineries making fruit wine, because they will change your mind.

Here are some of my favorite fruit wine picks from wineries around our state. To be fair, I have a lot of them on my list and did not enjoy having to choose only a handful of them.

Ken Hardcastle, co-owner and winemaker at Hermit Woods in Meredith, is knowledgeable yet fearless in his approach to winemaking. A geologist by trade, Ken seems to know just the right combinations that will work. I know he does a lot of research and development, and it seems to have paid off well. This winery is focused on using local and organic whole fruit in its winemaking.

In fact, they just announced that this will be the last year that they use products that aren’t available locally.

Hermit Woods picks: Lake House White, made with peaches, rhubarb, quince and rose hips. May sound odd but tastes fantastic and always sells out. Heirloom Crabapple, made by blending crab apple and blueberry wines.

It’s tart and tasty. Deep Blue, an intense dessert wine packed with low-bush blueberries. I hear it has antioxidants and could be considered good for you, which is one of the many reasons to drink it.

Not all winemakers set out to make wine from grapes. Such is the case with Coffin Cellars, a family-run winery in Webster.

Here, the Austin family uses everything from blackberries and black currants to cherries and jalapenos in their wine.

Coffin Cellars picks: (Not all varietals are available year-round; check the winery for current availability.) I am in love with their lime wine. I can’t really tell you why, I just am, and margaritas have since become jealous.

Kiwi berry wine drinks like a slightly sweet wine with an ever so slightly tannic finish. The apple wine is smooth and velvety. I hear they are working on making more and I can’t wait!

I made my first visit to Copper Beech Winery in Hooksett this year and can’t wait to go back. Owner Lin L’Heureux impressed me with her selection of fruit wines that were not all sweet but very pleasant to drink. Lin said she has no immediate plans to make wines from grapes because she is really enjoying making wine from a variety of fruit, with a focus on sourcing it locally whenever possible.

Copper Beech picks: If you like strawberries, Wicked Strawberry is a great choice — it is sweet and tart and smells heavenly. Wild Blue is reminiscent of a grape wine that is dry yet smooth. Melisi Heritage Apple is light and crisp and perfect for summer.

Flag Hill in Lee is a winery and distillery that grows its own grapes but also offers a few fruit wines. Their selections have changed slightly over the years (I have a friend who pretty much cried when she heard they were no longer making their strawberry wine) but I still have a few favorites.

Flag Hill picks: Apple cranberry is tart and luscious. It’s great for Thanksgiving, but I’ll drink it year-round. I love the combination of fruit in this wine. Also for sweet wine fans is their raspberry wine, which drinks a lot like a dessert wine because of its richness.

This is just a small list of the wineries that offer fruit wines in New Hampshire. Several also offer meads, or wines made from honey, that also use fruit. For more information, visit the NH Winery Association website at nhwineryassociation.com.

POP CULTURE

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Various Artists, 27 Tons of Metal New England (Bluntface Records)

Bluntface Records chef/cook/bottlewasher Otto Kinzel has been a fixture around the local goth/metal landscape for a while now, singlehandedly injecting some actual “business’ into the New Hampshire-and-environs music business.

This set of tunes concerns itself mostly with hamster-wheel death metal and pop-grind of the Cannibal Corpse/Bury Your Dead spectrum, but there are a few notable exceptions. Mike Kerr Band’s “The Truth of the Lion” uses a cleansounding chick singer who could win a Nightwish karaoke contest, this within a Lacuna Coil-like riff-storm. Before the Judge imparts a convincing round of grindcore bellowing in “Bobby D”; My Missing Half combines black metal with drunken-dwarf ren-fair-oi in “The Lives I’ve Ruined”; apocalyptic sludge-core is represented by Cactus Hag (“Grand Lodge of the Mirage”); Maiden-style NWOBHM comes courtesy of Verscythe (“Land of Shells”). Travel Amygdala’s “Died by a Bullet” reminds me of all the old Epitaph Records CDs I used to get in my mailbox, not that that should mean anything to anybody. A — Eric W. Saeger

Frank Dimino, Old Habits Die Hard (Frontiers Music s.l.r.)

If you’ve ever dug really deep stalking me on the Internet, you probably gleaned that Angel guitarist Punky Meadows was somewhat of my mentor, back when I had a too-businesslike desire to break into the miserable world of rawk stardom. This guy here was the band’s original singer, who made it through the five LPs the glam band was able to put out before they ran out of money and the rise of New Wave finished the job. Back then, Dimino was a lightweight compared to Plant and Dio and all those guys, but whoa, he seems to have taken a bunch of lessons sometime over the ever-speeding years. The songs here are a lot better than I expected, too — and no, I’m not exaggerating any of this just because Punky plays a little on this album, I swear. Dimino’s throat isn’t trashed at all, and in fact he sounds pretty healthy (he’s got to be what, 65 or so now), moving from ballad-mode-Journey to Quiet Riot-screamy during “Even Now.” But the heck with hair-band ballads, who’s he trying to get in bed, Flo the Progressive Lady? No, the first few rockers are strong, a blend of Deep Purple and White Lion with a ton of enthusiastic, on-pointe singing. If you’ve been disappointed by old-school hairbands coming back from the dead and posting up utter bollocks, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by this. A- — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • Oh boy, here they come, all the new releases, because the end of July means that it’s almost Christmas, you’d better buy presents for your sulking overindulged children this minute or everyone gets it from the Macy’s Santa Claus Cacodemon. Am I talking to the parents now? Good. Now look, I’ll tell you a secret, your kids won’t admit it, but they are sick of bling and twee and your old Deep Purple CDs — they want crazed bellowing and indecipherable noise from people with serious problems. Did you know that every time you shake your head about how lame your kid’s Gorillaz music sounds to you and then go off to play online checkers on your AOL laptop, they immediately light black candles and switch their iPods back to grindcore mixes and create online contests with their friends to see who can create the most rotten insults for ruining family-time? They do.

And now that you know, you can be one step ahead of them and get the new Cattle Decapitation album, The Anthropocene Extinction, for your kids! Just listen to this stuff, what a delight: “dugga dugga dugga GAHHH.” Just perfect! Hint: you should sit with your little Dylan or Ashley and pretend you love it. Play it during taco night and get old Aunt Deborah (what kind of ancient Egyptian mummy name is “Deborah” anyway?) to sing along. Hold hands. Love your family-time!

• Wait, no, this is even better! Chelsea Wolfe is a drone-rocker from Texas, and she is getting more popular by the minute, because she was so embarrassed by her first album that she quit music for a few years, and then made some split 7” records with King Dude.

Putting out embarrassingly bad albums and split 7” records automatically makes magazines like Nylon take bands seriously, because … well, because, I shouldn’t have to explain; you should just know. Just trust me, she’s important. Her new album, Abyss, is perfect for your family’s “game night.” The first single, “Iron Moon,” sounds like Flaming Lips trying to sound like Black Sabbath on the drugs you get after you have your wisdom teeth pulled. Yes, it’s that good.

• It seems like some people get famous just because they’re skinny, you ever notice? Take for example Canadian pop-experimentalist Slim Twig, who’s never made any really great songs that I’ve noticed, not that I necessarily have a problem with the droning-wah-wah groove on his new single “Slippin’ Slidin’” from the album Thank You for Stickin’ with Twig. It’s hard-sounding and really skronky, but — I dunno, it seems to be more interested with being annoying and threatening than actually being cool and listenable, like a reject background song made for a network TV detective show. Big whoop, said I. • Teen Daze has been making outrageously worthless twee-electro for a few years now, and suddenly he’s getting a media push, hence my mentioning it. The title track for his new album, Morning World, is, well, outrageously worthless. In other words big props for consistency from this veteran writer! — Eric W. Saeger

Robert Frost. Alan Shepard. General George Reid. If you live in Derry — probably if you live anywhere in New Hampshire — you know that these famous, historic men have ties to the area.

But not so many people know about Derry’s women, says local historian Karen Blandford-Anderson, which is why she’s presenting a lecture, “Heroic Women of Derry,” at the Derry Public Library Monday, Aug. 10, as part of its adult summer reading series, “Escape the Ordinary.”

“We hear a lot about Alan Shepard, Robert Frost, the Pinkertons — the famous men. But very rarely do you hear about the women!” Blandford-Anderson said via phone last week.

Even before it was acceptable for women to go to school, vote, run for office, run a business or have a career, there were women in Derry who snuck through the cracks and did it anyway. Blandford-Anderson discovered women like Molly Reid, Flora Stewart, Annie Fraser Norton, Helen Hood and Harriet Prescott Spofford through her own personal research and her volunteer work at the Derry History Museum (located inside the Adams Memorial Building).

They paved the way for women in Derry, but they often did so unnoticingly.

Reid, for instance, raised five kids and successfully ran her husband General George Reid’s farm while he was fighting alongside George Washington in the Revolutionary War. “Molly Reid’s husband was gone for seven years. He’s the one who got all the glory. but she ran the farm, raised the kids, and did all the things to keep her family afloat, and she probably sent money and supplies to her husband,” Blandford-Anderson said.

Of course, that was normal; all the women ran things while the men were away fighting the British. (Even Ben Franklin’s wife, Blandford-Anderson explained, ran the printing company while he was gone.

“He’s famous for the printing press, but his wife was the one who was doing the majority of the work,” she said.)

Mary Lyon was a teacher at the Adams Female Academy in Derry — a private allgirls school, established when Pinkerton became all-boys — before founding Mount See “Heroic Women of Derry”

Holyoke College in 1837 and becoming its first principal for 12 years. And she taught everything.

“She didn’t just teach them reading and writing and manners,” Blandford-Anderson said.

From her letters and biographies, it’s clear Lyon’s lessons required high-level thinking, and that she thought women needed to be educated in the same way men were.

Harriet Prescott Spofford was another notable Derry woman. She was known for her novels, poems and detective stories, and for being published in the Atlantic Monthly in the mid-1800s.

“Harriet Prescott Spofford’s parents wanted her to become a nice housewife.

They sent her to all these schools, but she kind of refused to do that,” BlandfordAnderson said. “She wrote books, short stories. … One of her contemporaries was Emily Dickinson.”

Blandford-Anderson said her presentation will likely cover 10 to 12 of Derry’s notable females. Details about some of the older ladies — Reid, especially — were difficult to find, but she found a few anecdotes, which she’ll share.

Blandford-Anderson was still in the midst of research at the time of her interview. There were a few texts to go over, a few details to finalize, plus she wanted to interview some of her subjects still alive — like Phyllis Katsakiores, a former Derry town councilor and newspaper reporter who was one of the first women to serve the New Hampshire House of Representatives in the 1980s.

“It’s interesting,” Blandford-Anderson said. “In the early 1900s, of course, women got the right to vote, but it wasn’t really until the ‘70s and ‘80s that women really got the chance to be elected. So those are the kinds of things we’ll talk about, both the progression of the town and the women who have kind of set the pace for us. …

Some of these women really had to break some ground.”

POP CULTURE BOOKS

Go Set a Watchman

by Harper Lee (HarperCollins, 278 pages) To all die-hard fans of To Kill a Mockingbird: this is not your book.

It’s not a terrible book, and it’s not really a book that casts the almighty Atticus Finch into a horrible Ku Klux Klan member, despite what the papers have said.

The thing is, Go Set a Watchman bears little resemblance to the text Harper Lee won the Pulitzer Prize for in 1961. This Maycomb, Alabama, and its characters are of a completely different make.

It’s plausible this is the story’s intent — it takes course over the two weeks 26-year-old heroine Scout Finch, now known as “Jean Louise,” spends visiting home from the Big Apple. During her stay, she’s dunked into the startling realization this town ain’t the same as the one she’s left.

First off, Jem’s gone. Scout’s big brother and best friend from Mockingbird “dropped dead” one day in his 20s due to a heart condition that also killed their mother. In his place is a guy named Henry Clinton, whom Atticus took under his wing post-Mockingbird. Now Henry (“Hank”) works in Atticus’s law office and has the hots for Scout (ahem, Jean Louise).

The family’s black housekeeper, Calpurnia, is not gone as Jem is, but she may as well be; she left the family when he died, and when Scout returns home, she finds the old maid is on the other side of a Southern conflict that, in New York, she couldn’t

really comprehend the extremity of until now.

It’s not said outright, but the book’s set in the mid-1950s, just after Brown v. Board of Education, which resulted in the desegregation of public schools. The story reflects the South’s ugly response to it; Atticus, Henry and numerous others blame the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Jean Louise cannot comprehend how the man she “confused with God” growing up is so against any kind of movement that aims to provide equal opportunity for African-Americans.

The text itself is kind of clunky. The majority of it is told in limited third person, except for Jean Louise’s thoughts, which are in first. During a scene in which she’s having coffee with the Maycomb women — whom, no surprise, the former tomboy despises — the reader sees an internal dialogue in which she defends herself and her hometown against an imaginary New Yorker, and it just reads weird.

At the story’s center are three different conversations/arguments Jean Louise has with her Uncle Jack (now a retired doctor), Hank and Atticus, respectively, about her disgust at the turn the town’s taken.

They respond with their reasoning for their points of view.

These conversations aren’t uninteresting; in fact, they’re somewhat thought-provoking, especially considering the timing of this release — it’s been more 50 years since the Civil Rights movement, yet race is

still in the forefront of conversation, in the South and all over. Between spans of this dialogue, there are flashbacks of the Maycomb Jean Louise remembers. (These are the parts I enjoyed most; they most resemble the kids I knew in high school English.)

But they just don’t seem to work together.

Lacking is the careful, craftful storytelling from Mockingbird, filled with symbolism, omens and a fantastic climax. The scenes feel unrelated, the conversations too scripted. I also found a typo.

Though the book reads like a sequel to Mockingbird, media reports say it was actually an initial draft. (The New York Times claims it was discovered in 2011.) Many have argued this book shouldn’t have been published at all — that had Lee wanted the sequel to come out, it would have happened long before she suffered a stroke and was forced to live in a nursing home at age 89.

Amazon said it was the most pre-ordered book since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Go Set a Watchman is a coming-of-age story about disillusionment and finding your own point of view. It didn’t ruin Harper Lee’s masterpiece for me — one of the few books I actually read ahead for in high school English, and which remains one of my favorites — but I also didn’t connect the two. To me, these weren’t the same characters. This wasn’t the same world.

However, if you kept up with the context of Go Set a Watchman, as I did, and if you’re familiar with how Lee came to write the book — her father was a Southern lawyer, too, and he also had a life-changing case — you may find reading Watchman is fascinating, if only to see what the start of To Kill a Mockingbird might have looked like.

NITE Headlining Headliners Local music news & events

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

• Twang & roll: On its first EP, Concordbased Laid To Dust yoke fiddle, banjo and four-part harmonies to a rocking core for a truly fresh sound. Laying Claptonesque guitar solos atop acoustic roots songs seems an unlikely choice, but this band flawlessly pulls it off.

“Another Dawn” is a standout track on the new disc. See the Laid To Dust CD Release Show on Friday, July 31, at 8 p.m. at True Brew Barista, Bicentennial Square., Concord. Tickets $5. See laidtodust.bandcamp.com.

• Swinging: With a mix of standards and originals, Bradley Jazz Collective is a hit in its Maine home base, selling out a recent performance. Featuring Fryeburg Academy Music Director Mimi Rohlfing on vocals, the five-piece group’s repertoire ranges from the well-known to experimental, making them a fine fit for the Lakes Region listening room.

See Bradley Jazz Collective on Thursday, July 30, at 8 p.m. at Pitman’s Freight Room, 94 New Salem St., Laconia. Tickets $15. See pitmansfreightroom.com.

• Idol debut: A year after placing third in Season 13 of American Idol, Alex Preston has a new album. There’s plenty of buzz about the effort, which hit No. 2 in the iTunes singer-songwriter charts the day it came out.

Hear selections from the New Hampshire native’s record at a local release show. See Preston on Saturday, Aug. 1, at 7 p.m., at Palace Theatre, 80 Hanover St., Manchester.

Tickets $29.50 at palacetheatre.org.

• Lucky 13: Young and old performers share the stage at the 13th annual Barnful of Blues Festival — “barn” is a reference to the event’s rain location, but it is an outdoor show. Sugar Ray & The Bluetones headline, with help from Tokyo Tramps, Granite State Blues Challenge winner Arthur James, young guitar-slinger Delanie Pickering and others.

It happens Saturday, July 31, starting at noon at Hillsborough Youth Center Fairgrounds, Route 13, New Boston. Tickets are $20 at granitestateblues.org.

• Rock & soul: Following the success of 2013’s throwback Memphis, Boz Scaggs has a new album of original songs, A Fool To Care. The soulful singer-guitarist is known for ’70s hits like “Lido Shuffle” and “Lowdown” — combined with early work featuring an unknown Duane Allman on guitar, it’s a mystery why he’s not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. See Boz Scaggs on Sunday, Aug. 2, at 7 p.m. at The Music Hall, 28 Chestnut St., Portsmouth. Tickets are $48 to $89 at themusichall.org.

Will Noonan tops the bill in Manchester

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

Will Noonan is in a good place these days. The comic has appeared on national television and tops the bill in places he once opened, like the showcase room in Manchester he’ll appear at Aug. 8.

“I’ve been middling at the Radisson for years, but this is my first time headlining Headliners,” Noonan said in a recent phone interview. “It’s a big one for me.”

The core of Noonan’s act draws from his Boston upbringing and family heritage.

“I have the Irish Catholic face, which is like a drinking thermometer,” he says. “It starts out clear and gets redder and redder until you start punching stuff; then it’s time to get out of bed and start the day.”

Well-timed improvisation sets Noonan apart from the rest of the pack. “I try to riff on stage as long as it’s fun for everybody; it’s not an exact science,” he said. “But I’ll tell you this: people remember … the stuff you made up on the spot. My brother told me that’s because it proves you’re actually a funny guy.”

The way Noonan deals with unruly audience members is also notable; he’s uncommonly gentle. “Coming up, I watched a lot of comedy and I always hated when a heckler interaction got uncomfortable,” he said. “I get they’re a pain in everyone’s ass and can get annoying, but I thought it was odd when guys went from zero to a hundred so fast. If someone interrupted your conversation in a bar, you wouldn’t turn to them immediately and say, ‘Go f- yourself, get the f- out of my face.’ You start nice and give them a few moments to either shut up or leave politely.”

It’s a skill Noonan honed in the days before becoming a comic, as a karaoke DJ in New York City.

“It was a hundred hecklers a night, no stage and none of the power of comedy where I have a barrier between me and the people,” he said. “I learned how to deal with drunks. … They’re not bad people, they just want a little bit of attention [and] I try not to go too hard on them. You can do it with a smile. A lot of the time, people start off heckling me angry and by the end they’re smiling, which is always to me the Will Noonan When: Saturday, Aug. 8, 8:30 p.m.

Where: Headliners Comedy Club, Radisson Hotel, 700 Elm St., Manchester Tickets: $20 at headlinerscomedyclub. com

ultimate success.”

Noonan got into comedy at the behest of his karaoke crowd.

“People would ask me when they could see me do standup; I thought maybe I should try it,” said Noonan. “It was one those eureka moments, like a kid who played tennis his whole life picking up a baseball bat and going, ’No, this is the thing!’”

He grew up admiring Bill Murray and moved to New York for acting school during a fertile time for comedy.

“I was about 18, and seeing standup all the time,” Noonan said. “Some of the best of the era were coming up and still unknown.

The lineups were incredible: Greg Giraldo, Dave Attel, Bill Burr, Patrice O’Neal. … I would sit there and watch those guys and be inspired.”

Starting out, he impressed guys like Jimmy Dunn, who became an early champion.

Rob Steen gave him work “when I wasn’t even really good enough to get the gigs,” said Noonan.

Steen runs his Headliners franchise like a baseball mogul; comics work their way up to the big leagues.

“Literally at times you’re on farms working for Rob … vacation resorts, he’s done it all. He’s good at getting guys like me out of the minors, off the street. It’s like getting

a kid off the basketball court in Harlem and putting him into a real place. He’s helped me a lot.”

Now a seasoned pro, Noonan is himself occasionally asked for advice and guidance. He’s not exactly encouraging.

“I tell people when they start, I don’t want to put you off but just know it’s almost like medical school,” Noonan said.

“It takes a long time to become even barely proficient.”

One skill that’s essential these days is sensitivity to social mores. Jokes that were fine a few years ago have become almost verboten, like Noonan’s bit about about his brother coming out as a gay man. “Suddenly, my drinking problem wasn’t such a big problem anymore,” went the bit.

A PC wave has reduced it to a deep track on long sets, much to Noonan’s chagrin.

“It’s almost become offensive. The joke hasn’t changed, people have. I’ve done that joke at gay rights events [and] people loved it,” he said. “But now everyone’s finger is hovering over the offensive tattletale button; everyone’s afraid of not noticing what’s offensive. I haven’t dialed anything back, but I’ve sort of started to avoid buzzwords. Race, sexuality — you have to be a little more careful with your language, which I think is ridiculous in 2015.”

SIGNS OF LIFE overcompensate.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Drawing was cathartic. I could visualize a different kind of world and control what happened there, at least in my pictures. Art is your outlet this week.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Basketball was the favored sport in my hometown, and I started playing in sixth grade. ... In ninth grade I added football and track to become a consistent year-round athlete. Keep yourself busy.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) I made a promise to myself at a young age that I would always love what I do. Now, that’s a wonderful, noble philosophy to live by, but it got me into some trouble down the line. When you’re coming up in the world, sometimes you’ve got to do things you don’t enjoy. Good luck telling my thirteen-year-old self that, though. You may need to adjust your expectations.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) If I had five dollars, I went to McDonald’s, and just like that, it was gone. On the other hand, Marcelle squirreled his money away under his mattress. I was a big spender. He was a big saver. … And so I learned another lesson … early on: If you work hard and save your money, somebody is going to come in and take it, so you might as well spend it all. It all depends on who you’re hanging out with.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) With Coach Lee gone, I started looking around for anyone else who might help me in my goals, or at least support my dreams. Keep building your support network.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) [Dancing] was about getting on the floor, and finally enjoying the payoff for all of the hard work we’d done … by showing off all of the stuff we could do. There we were, in the regular high school gym where I played basketball during the week, but with the beat pumping and the lights flashing, it felt like a real hot spot. You will enjoy some dancing this week.

All quotes are from Manhood: How to Be a Better Man — Or Just Live With One, by Terry Crews, born July 30, 1968.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) I loved to draw but quickly learned there’s nothing that comes naturally to us. We may have interests and desires, but we still have to work hard to improve our abilities. I drew all of the time, and I enjoyed it, but I also found it extremely frustrating. Don’t let the frustration stop you.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Something about the voluntary stress and strain of lifting things made my brain calm down. I needed to move things. It was my way of feeling like I was taking control of my situation. It’s time to move things.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) This was more than a movie. This was an event. … The John Williams score hit, and the Star Wars logo snatched me into its vortex. For the next 125 minutes I was so enthralled I couldn’t move.

It was like I was actually there among the aliens, warriors, and Stormtroopers. Lose yourself in a work of art.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) No matter what the coaches asked us to do, I was the first person to raise my hand. You need to step up and volunteer.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) I sat there at the window for hours, recording snippets of whatever songs I could catch on the radio. My favorite song was “Sucker M.C.’s” by RunDMC, and I often managed to record part of it, but for some reason, I could never catch the entire song on the radio. Even just hearing part of it was something, though. The music, the view of the street outside, I held on to these and whatever other lifelines I could find for myself.

All you need is a snippet.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) I was obsessed with my own internal mantra: I’m big enough. I’m strong enough. I’m fast enough. Even if you beat me today, I’m coming back tomorrow. You’re fine. Don’t

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

The 90-minute day

The whimsical premise of the iconic movie “Groundhog Day” (that someone can wake up every day believing it is the previous day) has largely come to life for a patient of a British psychologist writing recently in the journal Neurocase. Dr. Gerald Burgess’ patient, following anesthesia and root-canal treatment, was left with a memory span of only about 90 minutes and awakens each day believing it is the day he is to report for the same root canal.

He has been examined by numerous specialists, including neurologists who found no ostensible damage to the usual brain areas associated with amnesia. The patient is able to manage his day only by using an electronic diary with prompts.

Can’t possibly be true

Apparently, “uncooperative” child dental patients (even toddlers) can be totally restrained on a straitjacket-like “papoose board” without parental handholding, even during tooth-pulling, as long as the parent has signed a “consent form” (that does specifically mention the frightening practice). A recent case arose in Carrollton, Georgia, but a Georgia Board of Dentistry spokesperson told Atlanta’s WSB-TV that such restraints are permitted (though should have been accompanied by an explicit warning of potential physical or psychological harm). The father of the “screaming” girl said he was initially barred from the exam room and was led to believe, when he signed the consent form, that he was merely authorizing anesthesia.

HIPPO | JULY 30 - AUGUST 5, 2015 | PAGE 62

• The mayor of Whitesboro, New York, defending to a Village Voice reporter in July the 19th-century-based town seal that features a white settler appearing to push down an American Indian man, denied any racism and said the image is “actually” a typical “friendly wrestling (match) that took place back in those days.” (According to Whitesboro’s website, the Native American supposedly uttered, after the “match,” “UGH. You good fellow too much.”)

• In April, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel ordered the Federal Bureau of Prisons to stop relocating whistleblowing employees to “offices” that were aban-

doned jail cells. The bureau had insisted that the transfers were not punishment for reporting agency misconduct even though one of the “offices” had no desk, computer or phone and required the employee to walk past prisoners’ cells to get to work.

The continuing crisis

Lindsey Perkins pleaded guilty in June in Newport, Vermont, for an incident in which she joy-rode on the roof of a station wagon with her 5-year-old son while a 20-year-old man drove at 50 to 55 mph on the state’s scenic Route 14 near Coventry.

Police report

• Cosbying 2.0: A court in CastropRauxel, Germany, fined a 23-year-old man in July after he admitted that, one evening last year, he put “four or five drops” of a sedative into his girlfriend’s tea without her knowledge so that she would doze off for the evening and not bother him while he played video games.

She had come home after a hard day at work, expecting peace and quiet, but began complaining about the boyfriend’s machine-gun-fire game.

• The Washington Post’s running tally counts more than 400 people shot to death in the United States by law enforcement already this year with five months to go, but 2014 figures from Norway reveal that officers there shot at people only twice all year. Proportionally (64 times as many people live in the U.S.), American police would still have fired only 128 rounds last year if they showed Norway’s restraint. (Bonus fact: Norway’s cops missed their targets both times.)

Perspective

Pharmaceutical companies justify huge drug price markups on the ground that the research to develop the drug was, itself, hugely expensive. In February, a Canadian company, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, decided to raise the price of two heart-saving drugs (Nitropress, Isuprel) by 212 percent and 525 percent, respectively, even though it had conducted no research on the drugs. That was because, reported The Wall Street Journal, all Valeant did was buy the rights to the already-approved drugs from another company (which, of course, had thought the drugs research and all had been fairly priced at the lower amounts).

Said a Valeant spokesperson, “Our duty is to our shareholders and to maximize the value” of the products.

Least competent criminals

But A Successful Parent: Scott Birk, 31, was arrested in New Berlin, Wisconsin, in July, thanks to a big boost the police got from his 6-year-old daughter. A Wal-mart security guard noticed, on video, someone breaking into a jewelry case and pocketing earrings, and approached Birk as a suspect, in time to overhear the girl tell her dad “several times” to stop breaking into jewelry cases. Officers running an ID check found no driver’s license and asked how he had gotten to the store, and he said they walked. But Daddy, she said, we came in our car, and she cheerfully pointed it out to police. A search turned up more items stuffed in Birk’s shorts, and he was charged with theft and violating a previous bail condition.
