HIPPO | OCTOBER 8 - 14, 2015 | PAGE 2

After people in Massachusetts raised a stink about pipeline company Kinder Morgan putting a major natural gas pipeline through their towns, Kinder changed course and is now trying to get the pipeline through southern New Hampshire.

The proposed pipeline routes natural gas from Pennsylvania to the Boston market.

Originally, the line was to run through towns in northern Massachusetts. But after local opposition there, Kinder Morgan rerouted it farther north into New Hampshire towns starting in the west near Keene and running through southern border towns.

There’s little explanation as to why Kinder decided New Hampshire would be easier to run a pipeline through than Massachusetts.

Maybe they thought we’d complain less — or wouldn’t notice. And we might not. New Hampshire is inundated with presidential candidates right now, and Kinder Morgan hasn’t exactly made an aggressive effort to let people know. Maybe that was the idea.

The problem with that approach is that in the vacuum of information, people form opinions anyway.

Consider this comment from Merrimack resident Julie Penney, as reported in the Nashua Telegraph on Sept. 30: “There’s a lack of connection with this, in this town. People just have no idea what’s going on.”

Opposition is coalescing around nhpipelineawareness.org, where thousands have signed petitions opposing the route. Susan Chamberlin, consumer advocate on the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission, has also said she’s opposed, fearing the cost of building the pipeline might fall to local ratepayers.

The reason Kinder Morgan wants to bring gas from Pennsylvania in the first place is that we in New England pay more for gas than we should because it’s hard to get it here. Or at least that’s the line Kinder Morgan has been feeding local politicians.

But as Chamberlin points out, we really don’t know that, and because natural gas is a commodity, its price can fluctuate wildly. If prices skyrocket and the pipeline goes bankrupt, who will pay for that? Will it be us in New Hampshire?

Here at Hippo we’ve reached out to Allen Fore, the Kinder Morgan vice president responsible for on-the-ground information, to get his side of the story. So far he’s not responded.

Meanwhile, residents and property owners have serious questions that need to be answered. Why is New Hampshire a better route than Massachusetts, which on a map seems more direct? Is this pipeline safe? Will this pipeline lower property values? How will this pipeline lower costs? Will this pipeline end up costing New Hampshire utility customers more money down the road?

NEWS & NOTES

Hassan for U.S. Senate? mother of Willott told NH1 that can lawmakers for wanting to roll In a video ad released online, Gov. Maggie Hassan has announced her candidacy in the U.S. Senate race, foregoing a third term as governor. Hassan said in the video, “You can count on me to take my bipartisan approach, my common sense and my commitment to problem solving and results to the Senate.” Hassan was widely speculated to be the Democratic party’s top choice to fight for Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte’s seat. In a statement released by Ayotte, she said she welcomed Hassan to the race and looked forward to a spirited campaign. While Ayotte announced her bid early in the season, Hassan’s decision was stalled by a battle against Republican lawmakers over the state budget. The two candidates are very close in the polls. An average of four polls taken between July and September gives Ayotte a slight advantage with 47.3 percent to Hassan’s 42.8 percent, according to Real Clear Politics.

Currier director retires

Susan Strickler, the longest-serving director of the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, is retiring in June 2016. She will have served as director for 20 years. According to a press release, the museum grew under Strickler’s watch both in terms of physical expansion and collection. The space added more than 30,000 square feet to include two more galleries, a renovated lobby and a cafeteria. The collections added photography, prints and decorative arts as well as work by internationally acclaimed artists.

DCYF investigation

After a young Manchester mother was arrested for the murder of her 21-month-old daughter, police Chief Nick Willard laid the blame at the feet of the Division of Children, Youth and Families, saying they failed to protect the young girl, Sadie Willott. The Union Leader reported Willard also accused the agency of not cooperating with police at the start of their investigation. The state since stepped in to perform an independent review of DCYF, which is part of the health department, the day after Willard’s comments.

Primary machine keeps running The New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office has released the filing period for the 2016 presidential election, which will begin Nov. 4. The filing period closes Nov. 20.

Meanwhile, a decades-old fight over the primacy of the New Hampshire primary was reignited by comments made by Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus.

Priebus told the National Journal that he didn’t think there should be any “sacred cows” in the primary process, including the order.

Debating debates As we near the first Democratic debate in Las Vegas on Oct. 13, it appears likely Vice President Joe Biden will sit this one out, CNN reported. Hillary Clinton, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, and former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee have been invited. That leaves out Larry Lessig, the Harvard professor who joined the Democratic primary in early September. Lessig wrote on Politico that he believes the Democratic party is trying to marginalize him.

The Union Leader reported an 80-member coalition has been formed to push for more Democratic debates. In 2008, there were 26, three of which took place in New Hampshire.

Sanders is beating Clinton in early state polls, and he’s catching up to her in fundraising.

NPR reported Sanders’ campaign announced it’s raised $26 million in the third quarter. Clinton has raised $28 million.

Bush/Trump rivalry continues New Hampshire was recently visited by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, according to NHPR. Bush spoke about the opioid epidemic at a roundtable in Manchester and continued his campaign of criticizing billionaire Donald Trump during other stops in the state. Trump saw a turnout of more than 3,500 at his rally in Keene.

Looking for problem solvers

Several presidential candidates expected for No Labels event

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

New Hampshire residents, especially around the Manchester area, have likely seen the black and green “Elect a Problem Solver President” signs stuck in the ground along public roads and in residents’ front yards.

They belong to No Labels, a group whose mission is to make bipartisanship cool again.

No Labels is hosting the first ever Problem Solver Convention on Monday, Oct. 12, at the Manchester Radisson.

No Labels State Coordinator Will Layden expects more than 1,000 attendees, and several candidates have already agreed to attend.

So far, Republicans Donald Trump, Chris Christie, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich and George Pataki are on the ticket, as well as Democrats Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley and Jim Webb, according to a press release.

Primary goals

No Labels was created in 2010, in the wake of one of the nation’s most politically tumultuous years. Since then it has created federal legislation for things like holding congressional salaries in escrow during government shutdowns. It was also behind the mixed-party seating at the 2011 State of the Union address. Now, it hopes to commit presidential candidates to a set of major policy goals through cross-party cooperation.

No Labels office headquarters are located behind a stately turn-of-the-century mansion on north Elm Street in Manchester, where staffers have organized a massive outreach campaign. They’ve mailed out postcards to 50,000 residents — mostly independents and swing voters — made 200,000 phone calls to residents and knocked on thousands of neighborhood doors.

So far, No Labels has put out about 500 signs around the Manchester area.

“We’ve been working 12-hour days for the past couple weeks just getting the message out,” Layden said.

No Labels spokesperson Ryan Clancy says the group has outlined its four main goals of creating 25 million jobs over the next decade, securing Medicare and Social Security for the next 75 years, balancing the federal budget by 2030 and making the country energy secure by 2024. If a candidate publicly commits to begin working on one of those four issues with a bipartisan group in Congress within the first 30 days in office, he will receive the “Problem Solvers Seal of Approval.”

No Labels represents a cross-section of political ideologies. Layden is a conservative.

“We have four Democrats and three Republicans in the office,” Layden said.

He said the group itself represents the kind of cooperation it wants to see on Capitol Hill.

The New Hampshire focus

unpaid interns from all over the country and recruited a pool of more than 100 volunteers from New Hampshire who are still actively involved.

“No Labels has some folks in Iowa.

Nationwide, we have a very big network of citizen supporters and other kinds of supporters but, by far, the biggest investment is in New Hampshire and it’s for a reason,” Clancy said. “When you look at the number of independent and undeclared voters in that state, those are the … kinds of voters that we think are really receptive to this kind of message.”

A recent poll commissioned by No Labels found a lot of support for candidates who will break congressional gridlock.

“There is a real desire for a candidate that has a capacity to solve problems,” Clancy said.

The most important figure is one that gives teeth to the organization’s main strategy; its research says 79 percent of voters are more likely to vote for a candidate who receives the Problem Solvers Seal of Approval.

Keeping business in town Hooksett gives new program a try

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Hooksett is the latest New Hampshire community to take advantage of the Business Retention and Expansion program, designed to improve a town’s business climate without costing a fortune.

Statewide support

The program collects information about its businesses and uses it to create a handful of projects meant to help those businesses stay and thrive. “[A town is] much more likely to see job growth from the business base that [it] already [has], versus trying to attract more businesses from outside of the state,” said Carmen Lorentz, the director of the division of economic development in the state Department of Resources and Economic Development.

Hooksett, like many towns its size, does not have a department of economic development or even a single paid employee to do that sort of work, Lorentz said, and most don’t have the funds to pay for a big consulting firm to come in to do that work either.

The Business Retention and Expansion program, which has been available through the UNH Cooperative Extension since 2013, accomplishes much of the same thing for much lower rates.

So far, the BR&E program has been used in Milford, Amherst and Wolfeboro. Milford and Amherst participated in the program together and paid the bundled rate of $2,000, while Wolfeboro and Hooksett paid $1,500.

The new rate going forward is $2,500.

Lorentz says a private consulting firm can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on the scope of the research and the firm’s rates. In some cases it can exceed $10,000.

Tracy Hutchins, the president of the Souhegan Valley Chamber of Commerce, which commissioned the program for Milford and Amherst, says the program was effective at detecting and addressing problems with some businesses looking to relocate or downsize.

“It was, by and large, very successful on a lot of different levels,” Hutchins said.

Representatives from the towns got together at a summit in September to review the findings of the survey and walked away with plans to research public transportation and workforce development initiatives.

more than two decades. Six months ago he joined the town’s economic development committee, which consists of six volunteers and two town employees.

Scarpetti says he’s encouraged by recent improvements in the permitting process, business-friendly town boards and by the direction of the committee, but he wants to see more ways to connect the town, which is split by the Merrimack River. He said the town is looking to create a walkable town center and improve access to all parts of Hooksett.

“That’s a big thing right now. We want to make sure that it’s accessible to all the areas, because we are in a great location in New Hampshire,” Scarpetti said.

That said, he’s keeping an open mind while other business owners have their say on what’s important to them.

“What I hope to learn is what we’re doing right and what we’re doing that can actually stand some improvement,” Scarpetti said.

And even though attracting new business isn’t the goal of the project, he expects helping out existing businesses will improve the town’s reputation as a business-friendly place.

How it works

Hooksett is just starting the program, which happens in three stages. The first stage is the fact-finding stage, which takes a small army of volunteers to pound the pavement and talk to business owners.

“Right now, we’re going to go and interview a hundred different businesses in the town,” committee Chairman Muamer Durakovic said.

The roughly 100 businesses were individually selected as a sample from the town’s approximately 800 businesses in order to get a good cross-section of the various industries. About 30 volunteers are equipped with a 22-page survey with 50 questions for businesses that ask anything from employee salaries to broadband speeds. Their answers are confidential and ultimately aggregated into a report that will be compiled a few months down the line.

Andre Garron, the extension specialist with UNH CE who coordinates the program, says that final report leads to the second stage: evaluating the findings and developing three to five projects to solve problems identified in the report.

The third stage is actually implementing the projects, and that’s left up to the town.

“As more communities finish the process and put out their findings and start to come up with plans to act on those findings, I certainly can see there being more demand for Hooksett’s case Paul Scarpetti has been the owner of [the program],” Lorentz said.

Garron said Milton and Portsmouth have Hooksett-based residential developer Sierra Homes Inc. and a resident of Hooksett for already expressed interest.

Dean Christon is the executive director of the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority. He talked to the Hippo about the recent spike in foreclosures and how that doesn’t necessarily negate a positive upward trend.

The New Hampshire housing market appears to be showing pretty positive signs of rebound.

How confident are you in the stability of that trend?

I think we’re fairly confident about that. The recovery of the housing market is obviously very dependent on other economic factors. It’s dependent on unemployment staying down or continuing to go down or staying stable and not going back up. It’s dependent on general economic growth and, to a degree, it’s dependent on things like interest rates. If you look at all of those factors there’s no reason we’re going to see a backward movement here.

The market is recovering and has been pretty consistently now for quite a while. There are pockets in the state that continue to show some weakness, but the southern part of the state, the seacoast in particular as well, shows a lot of strength in terms of sales activity, some upward movement in prices, reduction in inventory. All the indicators that suggest the market is moving in the right direction.

A spike in foreclosures happened in June and July. Can you tell me how surprised you were by that?

We were a little surprised by it, but I think it’s important not to overfocus on the numbers of a month or two. There has always been a little bit of volatility in the foreclosure numbers. In other words, they’re not necessarily super consistent month to month. If you were to go back to the earlier part of this year, the numbers were in the 130-, 150-a-month range. We then saw a couple of months where the numbers went down dramatically. We then saw the numbers come back up. … If you look at the overall trend for the year, it’s still down from last year. It’s certainly down from the peak years.

Do you know why it happened?

It could be just general seasonality [or] … there’s kind of a theory moving its way across the country that one of the things that’s going on here is large servicers who have huge portfolios of distressed properties across the country and have been holding properties back Five favorites

from moving into foreclosure are beginning to push them through the process. In other words, they’re looking at the fact that the markets have recovered a bit and there is a little bit of Dean Christon. Courtesy photo. strength in sales and in pricing and they’re saying, ‘Well, if we have to deal with these distressed properties, now’s the time to do it.’ … That’s a theory. I don’t think anyone really knows why the numbers went up to 180 from 80 or 90 the month before that. And I don’t think we’re going to have a clear sense of what’s going on here until we get a few more months behind us and we see whether this is a new normal or … it was just an anomaly for a couple of months.

The state’s median home price rose by 2.3 percent in August. Is there any hope that number will improve in the coming months?

I think we are projecting that there will be slow and steady increase in pricing, but I don’t think we’re expecting a dramatic uptick in prices. I don’t think the indicators are there to support that yet. And I’m not sure that would be a good thing, generally, either.

It’s important to keep in mind that one of the things that led to the problem we had is a overheated or superheated market. A steady and reasonable and consistent increase in real estate values is a good thing and a sign of a healthy market.

What should first-time homebuyers in the state consider before buying a house?

The first thing I really recommend they do is getting some housing counseling. There’s a lot of opportunities for that. There are nonprofit organizations that do that work pretty much throughout the state. In the Manchester area, Neighborworks of Southern New Hampshire has a very strong program through their home team. … This is a complicated exercise, and understanding what your options are and what the alternatives are is important. … Secondly, the market where it is, it’s actually a good time to buy a house.

Interest rates are probably as low as they’re likely going to get on a sustainable basis. …

If you’re in a stable place economically and personally, it’s probably not a bad time to be looking. — Ryan Lessard

Outages last too long

According to a new report by the Public Utilities Commission, more work needs to be done to improve the capabilities of utilities to restore power after a storm-related power outage. The Union Leader reported the 100-page PUC report written in response to the 2014 Thanksgiving snowstorm revealed many improvements have been made since the 2008 ice storm, but residents are still waiting too long to get their lights back. The report was particularly critical of Eversource, which runs 70 percent of the New Hampshire electricity market, citing slow crew deployment, weak weather forecasts and ineffective communication to customers. Eversource says it did as well as could be expected given the circumstances.

QOL Score: -2 Comment: Eversource says it restored power to 207,000 within four days after the 2014 Thanksgiving snowstorm using crews from as far as Florida and Quebec.

Solar more expensive

A change in the state’s renewable energy rebate kicked in on Oct. 1, reducing the amount paid back to homeowners for generating their own solar power. NHPR reported the change will make it more expensive for folks who want to install solar in their home. The rebate paid .75 per watt with a total rebate amount of $3,750 before the change. It now pays .50 per watt with a maximum payout of $2,500. The reduction is an effort to prevent the depletion of the state’s Renewable Energy Fund, which dropped from $17 million to $4 million after residential solar installations more than doubled over the course of the year.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: The max rebate has dropped twice; it started at $6,000 when the program began in 2009.

The Red Sox season ended Sunday after a most satisfying final two months of the year. So, unless your glass is 94.7 percent empty or worse, I don’t know how you can’t be excited about what happened, as they played .640 baseball under interim manager Torey Lovullo over the final 58 games, which projects to 94 wins in a full season.

It came after following almost the exact plan I laid out at the end of July for what to do and it produced three clear benefits. By trading, selling, waiving or pushing all their remaining veterans of little use off to the side in lieu of playing all their top prospects, they got answers as to what their young players are, resurrected the trade value of Jackie Bradley Jr., Rusney Castillo and Joe Kelly, and at the same time unexpectedly gave 2016 tickets sales a gigantic boost thanks to the exciting way they played.

Now the question for Dave Dombrowski is how to take what he saw in August and September and turn it into a team for 2016.

He’ll need to figure out how much they were helped by playing pressure-free, whether the good stuff from Bradley and Kelly in particular was just hot streaks, and which pieces fit best. To save Dave a call, I’ll just say what I think right here.

Untouchable: Unless the names Harper, Trout and Kershaw are on the other end of the line, I’m not considering for a second moving these three guys. Why? Because E-Rod had a better rookie year than Roger Clemens did, and the best historical comparison I can find for Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts is when Robin Yount and Paul Molitor — who had over 6,000 combined hits — were 22 and getting started in Milwaukee.

Xander Bogaerts: He silenced the critics who said he couldn’t play shortstop while becoming an outstanding middle-of-theorder bat who plays shortstop — which, for

those suggesting they consider trading him for Matt Harvey to get the “ace” they supposedly need, is even harder to find than a true ace.

Mookie Betts: Am I the only who realizes that other than his monster year of 2011 Jacoby Ellsbury never had another year here close to what Betts did at 22?

Check their baseball cards and you’ll also see Jacoby make it here until 23, his big year happened at 27, and Betts trounced him head to head while making $19.5 million a year less. He’s going to be really good.

Eduardo Rodriguez: One reason they don’t need Harvey is because he’s an ace in the making who finished strong by going 4-1 over his final seven starts with a 2.07 ERA. I suspect as time goes by E-Rod will be to Baltimore what Jeff Bagwell is to Boston.

A major mistake by Dan Duquette to move him for rental Andrew Miller. Like Larry Anderson in 1990, Miller was outstanding, but you have to wonder if Baltimore would rather trade a one-and-done playoff loss for 10 years of this guy.

Reluctantly Tradable: Being like Danny Ainge, I’ll listen on anyone but only act if you blow me away.

Jackie Bradley Jr: The extended slumps still bother me and he’s real streaky. But with what he does in the field, if he can get near what his half-season numbers project to over a full year — 32 doubles, 8 triples, 20 homers and 86 RBI batting from the ninth spot — I’ll take it.

Blake Swihart: People who want to move him to another position because he’s so athletic miss the point. Having a catcher who can hit like him is a luxury and will help make the line-up deep top to bottom. He’s only here because with Christian Vasquez he could go in a MAJOR deal and they’re covered.

Joe Kelly: Was it a hot streak or the light bulb going on for a guy with a big arm? If the former, it could be a good time to sell high. If it’s the latter he’ll be a solid rotation guy. But since he only pitched seven innings

four times, and just twice in the hot streak, I wonder if he should be the closer in waiting.

Henry Owen: I don’t have a firm fix. But he held the bad guys to one run or less six times in 11 starts so I want to see more.

Available for the Right Deal: There’s valuable merchandise for sale here.

Rick Porcello: He’s a third starter who’ll give you innings and is capable of winning 15 games. The problem: At $20 million per he’ll be a drag on payroll for what he gives you.

Clay Buchholz: No matter how good he can be, he gets hurt every year, so you can’t count on him.

Rusney Castillo: Given the contract, he’ll be hard to move. He showed enough to suggest that, while not outstanding, he can be a contributor to a good team.

Travis Shaw: I saw Will Middlebrooks knock the cover off the ball for a while before falling to earth so I’m wary. He did enough to earn a shot to compete for the first and third base job, but if a more sure thing surfaced I’d let him go.

Brock Holt: I love this guy because he’s an entire bench unto himself. He’s just not productive enough offensively to be a starter. So if I can sell high, I would.

Deven Marrero: He stays if Holt goes.

But if not, he’s blocked by Bogaerts making him a trade chip.

Christian Vasquez: Unless Swihart goes in a blockbuster, he’s a valuable trade chip too.

The Bargain Basement Bin: Please take this guy off my hands and I’ll pay a lot of the contract too.

Hanley Ramirez: Do I really need to say why?

Pablo Sandoval: Ditto.

The Year Ahead: With all the young guys the leadership value of David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia is at a premium so they stay unless something really unusual surfaces.

Gabriel to play at Kentucky The Big Story: Matt Bonner’s place as New Hampshire’s only NBA player may soon be coming to an end. That’s based on John Calipari’s track record for recruiting players who head to the NBA after a one-and-done year at Kentucky. For the second time in four years Coach Cal has recruited a New Hampshire product. The first was Tilton Prep’s Nerlens Noel and last week it was Manchester’s Wenyen Gabriel, who announced he’ll head south after his final prep school season at Wilbraham & Monson Academy. The Trinity product’s rise to prominence came fast, as after growing three inches and a strong summer he’s now the 10th-rated prospect in the country. Gabriel had narrowed the choice down to UK, Duke, Providence, Maryland and UConn but ended the drama with the announcement last week.

he had just seven touches and still scored five TDs! And that might not even be the most unbelievable part of his day as he gained 209 rushing yards on those seven touches for an astonishing yards per carry average of 29.9.

Larry Anderson: Picked up by GM Lou Gorman to fortify the Sox’ shaky bullpen in the final month of 1990. He delivered a stellar 1.23 ERA in 15 appearances over 22 innings after arriving in Boston as the Sox went on to win the AL East with his help. But it was a quick exit from the ALCS as Oakland swept the Sox as the ERA was 6.00 and he was the loser in Game 1. The price for Anderson was AA prospect Jeff Bagwell, who went to play 15 years in Houston, where he was a borderline Hall of Famer in batting .297, hitting 446 homers and knocking in 1,546 RBI.

How to beat influenza before it attacks

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

While the word “flu” is often used synonymously with a common cold or gastrointestinal illness, true influenza is caused by a very specific virus.

“If anyone really had the flu, they would remember it very clearly,” said Susan Myers, chief of immunization at the New Hampshire Division of Public Health.

Flu symptoms can include a sore throat, cough, headache, fever of 100 degrees or higher and muscle aches, but what really distinguishes it from other illnesses is its very abrupt onset. For most healthy people, the symptoms will subside within a week, but for some, the flu can cause serious complications like bacterial pneumonia, bronchitis and worsening of other health problems. According to the U.S. Department of Health, over 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications each year, primarily young children, seniors, pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions. However, HIPPO | OCTOBER 8 - 14, 2015 | PAGE 12

the flu virus is different each year, making it a greater threat than people may realize.

“The flu season is really unpredictable and can be really severe,” said Nicole Losier, nurse supervisor for the Community Health Division of the Manchester Health Department. “A few years ago with the H1N1, it was the young, healthy people ending up in the hospitals, so it’s hard to predict who [it will affect] each year.”

The flu is extremely contagious and is spread easily through contact with an infected person or contact with a surface or object that has the virus on it.

Nearly all health experts agree that the most effective way to protect yourself from the flu is getting the flu vaccine every year, preferably in October, which is the start of flu season. Anyone can be vaccinated except for babies 6 months or younger and people with certain severe allergies. The vaccine is available at doctors’ offices, health clinics and some pharmacies and is either covered by insurance or available for free or a small fee.

But despite the availability of the

vaccine and the urging from health professionals to get it, many people choose not to be vaccinated.

“The biggest reason for that is people may be concerned about possible side effects,” Myers said. “The reaction is usually really mild and may just be some tenderness at the injection site, so I really want to dispute any misconceptions and emphasize that the benefits clearly outweigh the risks.”

Besides the vaccine, the best ways to dodge the flu are avoiding close contact with infected or potentially infected people; washing your hands frequently with soap and water, scrubbing for at least 20 seconds, or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available; sanitizing surfaces and objects that could be contaminated; and refraining from touching your eyes, nose and mouth during the day.

If you start to experience flu-like symptoms, be sure to practice hygienic etiquette like sneezing and coughing into your elbow and not touching communal surfaces with unwashed hands. If you develop a fever and

more serious symptoms, stay home from work or school and do not return until at least 24 hours after your fever has subsided. This can be a tough recommendation for people to follow for fear of falling behind with work or upsetting a boss. However, Losier asks that employers not only allow sick employees to stay home without consequence, but also encourage them to.

“It’s probably better to have one person out of work for a few days than your whole staff out for a week,” she said.

Even if you’re in good health and not concerned about the flu personally, getting vaccinated can prevent it from spreading throughout the community and affecting those who are at risk for serious complications.

“Think of very young children under 6 months; there’s no vaccine approved for them,” Myers said. “If the majority of people step up and get the shot, there will be less transmitters to infect those at risk, so you’re protecting other individuals as well as yourself.”

Humans are fairly unified in their hatred of mosquitoes, fear of ticks, disgust at cockroaches and revulsion toward spiders, but too often the reaction to bed bugs is shame.

They’re swept under the proverbial rug.

This, according to Dr. Gary Nielsen, is one of the biggest reasons why bed bugs are so often allowed to thrive.

Nielsen is an entomologist and director of training at JP Pest Services in Milford.

He says people often fear the bug’s spread to their property, or those who are already dealing with an infestation are afraid of being ostracized or associated with poverty.

“With bed bugs, it doesn’t make a difference if your address is Pennsylvania Avenue or Pine Street,” Nielsen said. “They’re the most egalitarian of all pests.”

So, he says more people should be willing to ask for help when they suspect they have bed bugs and more people should be willing to offer assistance.

How bed bugs first enter one’s home is still a bone of contention, Nielsen says, since there hasn’t been enough research on the question, but he believes picking up used furniture and bringing it home can often be a vector for the pest. People can also get bed bugs that ride in their clothes or belongings after staying in a hotel or motel. Even library books can be carriers.

Identifying the bug can be tricky for a non-scientist. Adults are a little smaller than an apple seed and nymphs can be much tinier. And despite some myths to the contrary, their bites don’t follow any distinctive pattern. They typically occur wherever skin is exposed.

Nielsen suggests you bag any bugs you suspect of being a bed bug and bring it to an expert at a pest service for confirmation.

If you find out you’ve been exposed to bed bugs, the very first thing Nielsen says

you should do is put all your clothes (or any other washable items exposed) into the washing machine, take a shower and then dry your washed items on high for 20 minutes. If you don’t have access to a washer, go straight to the dryer.

“Drying is more important than washing is,” Nielsen says.

That’s because one of the insect’s two big weaknesses is heat. Like ticks, bed bugs have wide flat bodies and all that surface area means heat can rapidly rob the bugs of moisture.

He said bed bugs got their name because they can only effectively feed on sleeping people and animals.

“They need you to be zonked out. They need you to be totally asleep, because if you were awake it would be very easy for you to squash these things as they start to feed on you,” Nielsen said.

Which leads us to bed bugs’ other major weakness: poor climbing skills.

“Everybody should know about having to make their bed an island,” Nielsen said.

If bed bugs are confirmed in a home, the simplest way to eradicate them is to cut them off from their food supply. To that end, Nielsen says you should move your bed away from the wall, keep blankets off the floor and wrap your box spring in a bugproof encasement. Then, under each leg of the bed frame, place a device called an interceptor to trap bed bugs trying to enter or exit the bed. Popular brands include ClimbUp and BlackOut and they look like small, plastic dog bowls. The same bed island approach is recommended when staying at hotels, whenever possible.

If your efforts fail or the infestation is too large, then it may be time to hire a pestcontrol service. The cost can vary a great deal based on level of infestation and size of the home. You can often request a specialist to inspect the home and provide an estimate.

Keep your tech stuff safe

By Ryan Lessard

With our private files stored digitally and household appliances linked to our WiFi, it’s almost impossible to maintain privacy these days.

Hackers have been in the news a lot lately for taking compromising photos with webcams they access remotely and using them to blackmail the subjects of the photos and for remotely locking up personal hard drives with encryption and holding the files within for ransom. And, of course, exposure can happen to millions of people at once by hackers who penetrate a company that holds personal data on its servers, like with the February Anthem hack.

For Gary Miliefsky, the CEO of Snoopwall, a network security firm based in Nashua, threats to our privacy can come legally from big corporations as much as from cyber criminals through more illicit means.

“Ultimately, your privacy is over if you bought a smart TV or if you’re playing an Xbox with a built-in camera … or you use Google or the Chrome browser and the next thing you know, you’ve been geo-located,” Miliefsky said.

He says there are even TVs that quietly record what we say when we’re around it and the data gets stored somewhere in the cloud.

“The Samsung and LG smart TVs are really smart. They eavesdrop on you,” Miliefsky said.

Companies are coming out with webcams and microphones built into the TVs and consumers are required to agree to the terms (including fine print about being recorded) in order to enjoy the benefits of an Internetconnected TV. And Miliefsky says short of

Be proactive

• Change passwords frequently • Download encryption software (Miliefsky prefers TrueCrypt 6) to seal your hard drives • Turn off geo-location on your computers and mobile devices so people can’t track your whereabouts. That information can be used to plan other crimes like burglaries.

If you’ve already been hacked

• Miliefsky suggests calling all three credit bureaus to place a free, 90-day fraud alert on your credit. That alerts creditors to confirm your identity when someone tries opening a credit card in your name during that period.

• You can also place a security freeze on your credit, which makes it impossible for creditors to view your credit score, making it far less likely a card will be issued to a would-be identity thief.

opening the TV, finding the microphone and cutting the wire and taping over the webcam, there’s no way around it.

Some companies like CamPatch have repeat-use stickers you can place over TV or computer webcams for when you don’t want people seeing you that you can easily remove when you want to use the camera.

While some consumers may not mind a company snooping on them for aggregated marketing data, that same technology used relatively benignly by companies can be hijacked by hackers.

In many ways, you are vulnerable regardless of the protections you put into place, but Miliefsky says there are a few things you can still do to guard your personal files and money.

“The best thing you can do is assume you’re already compromised,” Miliefsky said.

Think you know about lightning safety?

It’s possible some of your “facts” are urban legends.

Lightning safety specialist and warning coordination meteorologist John Jensenius set the facts straight during a phone interview last week. The Maine native, who participated in Lightning Safety Awareness Week in North Conway last June, said getting struck is more common than you might think.

Sure, the odds are about one in a million it will happen this year, but those odds change depending on your behavior. Over the course of your lifetime, the chance is one in 12,000.

“Typically, across the United States, between 300 and 400 people are struck every year. Of those, roughly 30 die from lightning strikes. It’s something to be concerned about,” Jensenius said. “It’s a bit of an inconvenience to be safe, but it’s certainly worth it, in my opinion.”

The most vulnerable are the tallest objects in an immediate area. You’re more susceptible if your home’s at the top of a hill, in an open field or near a very large tree.

One of the most important things for people to know, in Jensenius’s opinion, is there’s little you can do to remain safe outside. If there’s a chance you’ll get caught out in a storm, get to a safe place, whether that be a nearby shelter or your car.

The best way to avoid getting hurt in random attack situations is, naturally, to avoid them all together.

Some quick tips, courtesy of Bedford Martial Arts Academy master instructor John Stewart: If you’re walking alone at night, remain in a lit area. Don’t text, don’t make a call, don’t walk alone with headphones in your ears — or, if you really have to, keep at least one ear open. Walk tall, confident and strong.

“If you have two ears blocked, you’re not going to be able to know what’s going on with your surroundings,” Stewart said

fire and police stations — have some sort of lightning safety features, but Priestly said most of his customers reach out after their homes have been struck.

If you don’t have protection systems, you can unplug your minor appliances — your computer, television, microwave, etc., and also things like outside antennae and cables.

(Though of course, do it before, not during the storm.)

“If you’re inside, you want to stay away from anything that will conduct electricity,” Jensenius said. “Anything plugged into an outlet or that has a direct connection to outside. … Lightning strikes could hit plumbing, so you don’t want to be washing dishes or taking a shower during the storm either.”

Similarly, stay off corded phones (because they have direct wires to outside) and away from doors or windows that lead to outside.

“There’s this myth that metal attracts lightning. Metal does not attract lightning, but it does conduct lightning,” Jensenius said.

People have survived lightning strikes but immediate help is critical — an after-effect could be cardiac arrest, requiring CPR and a 911 call right away.

Keep confident, keep alert ksennott@hippopress.com

since 1997

via phone. “A person walking tall, hands out of their pockets, is a lot less likely to be attacked, in my opinion.”

Stewart teaches karate and self-defense classes that cover what-to-do basics in worstcase scenarios. Being aware of what’s going on around you and knowing how to use what’s at hand are some of the key points in his beginner lessons. If you are about to be attacked, he advises first trying to create an obstacle between the two of you. Get on the other side of a chair, a desk, a wall or a car.

“Sure, [the attacker] could jump over the desk, the chair, but it will take a second to do that, and that’s the time you’ll need to run away,” Stewart said.

If you do hear thunder, “You’re already in danger, and you need to get to a safe place immediately. Thunder [is audible] 10 miles from a storm, and lightning can strike 10 miles out from a storm,” Jensenius said. (Side note: A storm’s distance can be measured by counting the time between lightning and thunder. Every five seconds equals one mile.

Again, do your counting indoors if possible.)

Cars are safe, not because of their rubber tires, but because if lightning strikes the vehicle, it will follow the outer metal shell to the ground. Lightning strikes cars every year, and more often than not, it blows out the tires, Jensenius said.

“To my knowledge, nobody’s been killed or seriously injured while riding in a car.

There’s a slight risk the windshield will shatter, but usually that’s the rear windshield, not the front, because there are some metal defoggers in some rear windshields,” he said.

Wearing rubber doesn’t help.

“The amount of rubber you would have to wear to avoid lightning is huge. It could be as much as a mile of rubber to protect yourself,” Jensenius said.

How to keep safe (and keep your stuff safe) inside? Know that lightning can enter the house through wires. If you really want protection, getting a lightning rod is the way to go.

“The purpose is to intercept that lightning and give it a path to the ground,” Jensenius said.

“One thing people don’t understand: Lightning is not attracted toward these lightning rods.

They’re there to intercept the lightning.”

Of course, it’s a little more involved than you may think. If you’ve got an easy, ranchstyled home with few or no soil issues, it can cost as little as $2,500, said Will Priestly, who owns the New Hampshire-based company Zero Zap. The roof requires a whole network of rods, and the structure connects to the ground in several places. It’s much easier to incorporate if you’re in the process of building a house.

because of the adrenaline rushing through you. I wouldn’t use a taser myself because if I made a mistake and accidentally tased myself, now I’m done.”

Stewart also teaches basic blocks, kicks, closed fist strikes and “the color system” to students. If you strike in the green zone (arms, legs), there’s less risk of seriously injuring a person, while the yellow zone (knees, elbows, feet, hands) and red zone (eyes, groin, rib cage, head) should only be used if there are no other options.

“You want to get out of there as quick as possible and not cause harm to yourself and too much to the attacker,” Stewart said.

If you’re forced to attack, go for the kick.

Using legs instead of arms allows you to strike while still remaining a couple feet away. Plus, it provides the biggest impact.

“When you’re throwing a kick, you’re putting your whole body behind it. Even if you’re 120 pounds, you’re putting 110 pounds behind that kick, and that’s a lot of weight,” Stewart said.

When in doubt, practice.

“You can kick the air as hard as you want, and it’s not going to hurt and it’s not going to fight back,” Stewart said.

Most important, Stewart said, is to trust your gut instinct and be prepared. Even if you’ve already taken self-defense classes, it doesn’t hurt to practice and brush up on them every so often.

Controlling, inconsiderate and condescending — for those with a challenging workplace, these characteristics are all too familiar.

Jane Bogursky, a licensed independent clinical social worker based in Bedford, recommends setting a boundary with negative coworkers to help keep the negativity from impacting you. However, sometimes the negativity is coming from a person you must engage with — like a manager or higher-up.

If that’s the situation you’re in, check out

Bogursky’s suggestions for managing yourself and dealing with a mean boss.

View them in a new light. Try interacting with your boss like you would a challenging customer or client, Bogursky said. Viewing them as someone you want to please could help you stay a step ahead.

Put yourself in their shoes. Try to understand why your boss acts the way he does.

“It could it be that their superiors are putting a ton of pressure on them … their reputation is at stake,” Bogursky said. “I think that can be very insightful and allow you to step back and empathize.”

Tips for maintaining a debt-free life

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s most recent survey of household debt (2011), 69 percent of U.S. households held some form of debt, with the median debt amount at $70,000. It only takes one big event, such as a serious illness or injury, weather or fire damage to a house or a lost job to send even a financially stable person into an exponential debt trap.

Michael Solari, principal of Solari Financial Planning in Bedford and Nashua, talked with the Hippo to offer a few tips on how you can protect yourself from falling into debt.

Solari defines debt simply as being unable to financially meet your living needs. The demographic most at risk for debt, he said, is recent college graduates just starting out in their careers, because many have significant student loan payments, and entry-level job pay often isn’t enough to cover both the person’s living costs and loan payments. For others, debt can happen quickly as the result of an unexpected life event, or over time as the result of continuous irresponsible spending habits. That’s usually when people turn to credit cards.

“It’s one thing to overspend one month and rebound, but when there’s a trend where each month you’re putting more on the credit card, that’s a red flag,” Solari said. “Credit card debt accumulates really quickly, especially with high interest rates, so usually people don’t even realize they’re in trouble until it piles up and they can’t pay their living expenses or their credit card expenses.”

Serious debt can precipitate some longterm consequences that are very difficult to reverse. Some people may choose to sacrifice their property or retirement savings to avoid bankruptcy. Those who do file for bankruptcy are forfeiting their privacy and independence as well as putting a monumental blemish on their credit scores, which can considerably limit their future plans.

So, what can you do to steer clear of debt altogether? Solari said setting up a budget is the best place to start.

“It’s about being proactive and understanding where your money is going,” he said. “If you set up a budget and review it, you can decide if what your money is going towards is worth it or if it should be going elsewhere. Then, [implement] an action plan for what you want to do.”

Solari recommends using personal home budget software such as You Need A Budget. A budgeting phone app may also be useful so you can refer to your budget on the go and make informed spending decisions, then update your budget instantly when you spend money.

Another way to protect yourself from debt is to prepare for the worst.

“The number one mistake I see people make is not setting aside an emergency fund, or not setting aside enough of an emergency fund,” Solari said. “When some kind of big event happens, you don’t have time to start reviewing your spending habits, and before you know it, things start piling up. And for people who make really good money, it’s hard for a lot of them to make that seismic shift [to stricter] spending habits.”

A sufficient emergency fund, he said, should have enough to sustain you for 18

positive internal [dialogue, like] ‘this is not going to be forever, I can get through this,’” Bogursky said.

Have a backup plan. Keep an eye on other job openings. Bogursky said always having a backup plan can help you feel like you aren’t stuck in a bad situation and can get out if things get too hard.

Take care of yourself. Eating well, exercising regularly, being with friends and maintaining a hobby all help balance work stress. And it gives you something to look forward to at the end of the day.

Know when to leave. If your job is impacting your daily life — like loss of sleep or appetite, trouble getting out of bed in the morning or isolating yourself — it’s time to contact HR. “If your superior [is] truly a bully, threatening or harassing or any of that type of situation I would say document and report,” she said. “It’s not uncommon to switch careers and sometimes a very challenging situation can turn out to be one of the most positive things in your life.”

ple may use the boss’s behavior as an excuse to lower their standard, and I think if you look to the future … you can stand up and stand out,” she said. Treat it like a learning experience, perhaps to reference in a future job interview.

Don’t bottle up. Working with a mean boss every day can be draining and also leak into other areas of your life. Don’t keep it all inside — talk to your spouse, friend or therapist about it. “I think it’s very important because [otherwise] you're just stuck with your thoughts and things are swirling around in your brain,” Bogursky said. “Connect with people because lots of people live through this or have lived through this.”

Documentation is key. Writing down tough interactions can come in handy, Bogursky said, to bring up during an exit interview or if you need to file a grievance with the company’s HR department. “And it can be therapeutic,” she said.

Stand your ground. Don’t let your boss bully you or get in your head. “[Use] strategies to make yourself feel better in terms of

17 five to six months. The best method is to set up an automatic transfer so that an amount of your paycheck goes directly into a savings account. Then, just forget about it and let your emergency fund build up.

Solari’s final tip for avoiding debt is to do your research on credit cards before you apply. Look for cards with no transfer fee and little or no interest or yearly fees; those perks can give you the breathing room you need to bounce back, should you start falling into debt.

If you are already in debt, there are finan-

cial counselling resources like the National Foundation for Credit Counseling or software like ReadyForZero, which can help you develop a plan to attack your debt a little at a time. But more important than the strategies to escape debt are the strategies to stay out of debt.

“It’s not solving the issue if you still can’t meet your necessary expenses without relying on a bonus or retirement or whatever,” Solari said. “That’s why it’s so important to have a plan and understand where your money is going.”

Accepting the fact that heartbreak is a part of life doesn’t mean you can’t think about what you can do once it comes. One of the best ways to prepare for — and work through — a broken heart is by taking care of yourself, which may sound simple, “but we have a hard time with it,” MacKinnon said.

Getting enough sleep, exercising, eating healthy and spending time with people who are a comfort to you are vital and help set the foundation of support you need to heal a broken heart.

When it comes to common suggestions for moving on — like getting a new haircut, going on a spontaneous trip or buying that jacket you’ve had your eye on — MacKinnon said to make sure you aren’t just finding excuses to avoid the pain.

“I think [of that] more of like a distraction, which is more resistant,” she said. “But that's fine as long as you do come back and deal with it.”

Citing the work of Brené Brown, MacKinnon noted that emotions can’t be numbed selectively.

“If you distance from the pain you also distance from the joy,” she said. “The thing to know is we can survive all our emotions.”

One way to work out your grief is by voicing your feelings to the right listener. Avoid those who will tell you to suck it up and move on, because internalizing is not the answer.

You also want to avoid those who will jump right in and try to fix it for you or get overwhelmed listening to another’s grief.

“You just need someone who can listen without getting upset or without trying to fix it,” MacKinnon said.

Other outlets could be walking through the woods or writing in a journal, both of which provide the space to process emotions.

“Sometimes giving yourself permission to really focus on it for a period of time and then putting it away sort of mentally … helps you be able to function in your life but also honors the grief,” she said. “And if you do that you'll develop trust that you’re accepting of your feelings, but you're not going to fall apart at work.”

A useful exercise MacKinnon suggests is thinking of a really good thing that happened in your life, then thinking of a bad thing that happened just before it.

“Whatever the bad thing that happened, that's what allowed the good thing to happen,” she said.

This shows the patterns of a life and perspective that sure, bad things will happen, but good things always follow.

“It makes the next bad thing that happens not quite so bad,” she said.

When you think of a broken heart, you might imagine a post-breakup scene, someone listening to The Cure while eating Ben & Jerry’s straight from the container. The end of a romantic love can definitely leave one brokenhearted — but so can many other life changes.

According to Diane MacKinnon, a master certified life coach in New Hampshire, any kind of loss can yield heart-fracturing results, like the loss of a pet, not getting into a first choice college, losing a job or a friend moving away.

With all of the potential for sad tidings, you may wonder if there is a way to defend yourself against a broken heart.

“The only way to avoid a broken heart is to avoid caring about anything,” MacKinnon said. “If we’re here on the planet, we’re going to get our hearts broken.”

ARTS Two Cats

Local theater companies take on Williams play

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is one of the most famous plays by Tennessee Williams, and this October, you can see it by two different award-winning New Hampshire companies: The Seacoast Repertory Theatre and the Milford Area Players.

The play, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1955, is set in the plantation home of Mississippi cotton tycoon Big Daddy Pollitt. The action centers around a single dinner meal in which the entire family knows something Big Daddy does not: that he’s dying of cancer. As the drama unfolds, it’s clear he must decide which son his fortune will go to: Gooper and his wife Mae, or Brick and his wife Maggie. Only Brick’s the one who doesn’t seem to care — his football buddy Skipper just committed suicide, and he’s been soothing the pain with alcohol.

The Hippo talked with members from each company to get the lowdown.

Milford Area Players

Director Mike Wood pitched the production about a year ago because of its strong See Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Milford Area Players Where: 56 Mont Vernon St., Route 13N, Milford When: Friday, Oct. 16, at 8 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 17, at 8 p.m.; Sunday, Oct. 18, at 2 p.m.; Friday, Oct. 23, at 8 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 24, at 8 p.m.; and Sunday, Oct. 25, at 2 p.m.

Admission: $15 Contact: milfordareaplayers.org Seacoast Repertory Theatre Where: Seacoast Repertory Theatre, 125 Bow St., Portsmouth When: Oct. 2 through Oct. 25, Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2 and 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m.

Admission: $25-$38 Contact: seacoastrep.org sometimes there’s God so quickly: This oneman show happens Wed., Oct. 14, at 7 p.m., and Sun., Oct. 25, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12.

characters and story. He’d performed in the play in college and had wanted a stab at directing ever since.

“I thought it was a play that would attract strong actors. Tennessee Williams sells himself as a playwright for actors. … Elizabeth Taylor played Maggie, and Brick was played

by Paul Newman in the movie,” Wood said via phone last week. “It’s also a little bit timely; one of the minor characters, who is mentioned but not seen, is a gay pro sports athlete who ends up killing himself offstage.”

Woods was right; auditions presented a statewide turnout.

Caity Glover, who plays Maggie, has been making the drive from Manchester to Milford three to four nights a week. Normally a musical theater girl, Glover fell in love with the character while reading the play in high school and had little difficulty deciding that, this fall, she’d rather focus more on character work than song and dance.

“She’s an iconic role for women,” Glover said. “She has some great monologues. …

When people think of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, they immediately think of Maggie.”

She’s been tackling lines by listening to a self-made phone recording while she drives.

The part requires more lines than she’s ever had to learn, but it helps, she said, that Williams wrote the lines so eloquently. She, along with Katie Collins, who plays Big Mama, has been practicing her Southern drawl since the first table read.

“It’s easier to memorize [Williams’] lines, because they’re stories, but they’re almost like songs,” Glover said.

Playing Big Daddy is Glen Grimard, who wanted to be part of this production for the iconic role. It’s hard for him to find parts that suit him, especially in New Hampshire. And he agrees with Wood — the tale is timely.

Plus, who doesn’t relate to a slightly dysfunctional family?

“There are a lot of things in my own everyday life that are similar to this character’s.

We all fantasize or play tricks with our mind about our health, and what it really means. … I see this happening all the time,” Grimard said. “And the discussion he has with

his son dealing with latent homosexual feelings is incredibly relevant in today’s day and age. And this was in the ‘50s. I can’t imagine what that discussion was like.”

Costumes will be traditional, sets minimal, which Wood hopes will put attention on actors.

“They’re complicated characters, and there are lots of monologues,” Wood said. “You make discoveries about the characters every day. Every night of rehearsal, we’ll do a scene, and then we’ll stop and talk about, why? Why is he saying this? What’s going on here?”

Seacoast Repertory Theatre

This is the first time The Rep has ever put on a Tennessee Williams show, and the first time since 2013 it’s produced a non-musical drama.

Company and board members decided it was time to switch things up a bit this fall. After all, it’s part of their mission, even in this re-building year. They don’t want to get typecast as the theater that only does musicals, Brian Kelly, Rep marketing director, said via phone.

Company members called on the community, and last winter, audiences voted via a ballot with 10 possibilities — other choices included Of Mice and Men, Romeo & Juliet, Tuesdays With Morrie and Neil Simon’s Laughter on the 23rd Floor.

Directing is Meredith Freeman-Caple,

25 Art

who directed Williams’ other famous work, A Streetcar Named Desire, at the Players’ Ring down the street. Anticipation has been intense.

Freeman-Caple, said she’s been to shows at the Rep recently where Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was announced as the people’s choice production in the curtain speech.

“People go, ‘Ooh!’ … It’s just iconic,” she said.

Which is why she put her name in as a potential director immediately. “[Williams’] characters are so human and so flawed. His words read to me like music,” she said.

Freeman-Caple is the one who recruited David Roby, whom she went to school with at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in the ‘90s. He played Brick in a school production and went on to become a professional Tennessee Williams expert.

When she reached out with the idea of him presenting a lecture on the author — he’d since written a one-man show about Williams — he offered one better.

“He said to me, ‘What if I auditioned?’ It was just meant to be,” Freeman-Caple said.

Not mature enough to fully understand the 30-something alcoholic while a student.

Roby wanted to try the role again.

“He brings in more life perspective now,” she said. “It’s a much more layered performance.”

Sets are antique and intricate, as are costumes.

While he’s here, Roby will perform the one-man show, sometimes there’s God so quickly, a 90-minute one-man production in which he plays 19 characters, all of whom he stumbled upon during interviews he conducted with people who knew Williams as the Tennessee Williams Playwright-in-Residence at the University of the South. “[Including this show] kind of spoke to our mission,” Kelly said. “Historically, we haven’t done a lot of original work — we haven’t taken a lot of risks — and we’re looking to change that. Whether or not the community has an appetite for this type of show, we don’t know, but we have to give it a try.”

Grown-up coloring craze Local libraries respond to the phenomenon

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Good news, grown-ups: Coloring is cool again.

The world-wide craze has finally exploded in New Hampshire, with groups forming at libraries in Concord, Nashua, Windham, Goffstown, Wilton, Bedford and other towns these past couple months.

In Concord, the push started with employee Sharon Bonner, who set up a coloring station in the library break room.

“Because, you know, there’s a lot of information about coloring being sort of meditative, and that it can help you refocus. She thought it would be a good thing for people to do during break,” Concord Public Library adult services manager Deb Baker said via phone.

Needless to say, it went well, and librarians decided to open the program up to the public. Its first adult coloring session had 36 participants who ranged in age from teen to elderly. The room was too small to hold them all.

Carol Eyman at the Nashua Public Library picked up the buzz in her Facebook library networks and put out a patron survey that yielded more than 30 responses.

Globally, the trend has been brewing for months. In March, The New York Times ran a story called “Grown-Ups Get Out Their Crayons,” about Scottish coloring book illustrator Johanna Basford. In July, The New Yorker printed “Why Adults Are Buying Coloring Books (For Themselves),” which suggested the trend has been fueled, to some degree, by social media, with people posting elaborate colored art on Facebook and Pinterest, and Adult coloring groups Nashua Public Library, 2 Court St., Nashua, has two groups; one meets Mondays 2 to 3:30 p.m., and another meets the second and fourth Tuesday of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Concord Public Library, 45 Green St., Concord, meets the first Tuesday of the month; the next is Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 6 p.m.

Nesmith Library, 8 Fellows Road, Windham, holds a meetup Tuesday, Oct. 20, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Wilton Public & Gregg Free Library, 7 Forest Road, Wilton, holds a meetup Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 6 p.m.

Goffstown Public Library, 2 High St., Goffstown, holds an adult coloring session Saturday, Oct. 17, at 10 a.m.

by the idea that coloring relieves stress.

This summer, there were weeks in which the Amazon bestseller list contained coloring books.

Michael Herrmann, owner of Gibson’s Bookstore, said via phone that Gibson’s has reorganized its coloring book section to make way for adult material. Basford’s Enchanted Forest and Secret Garden have been flying off shelves, as has The Mindfulness Colouring Book by Emma Farrarons, which is the store’s bestseller.

Herrmann called it a “fun phenomenon.”

Non-colorers may be scratching their heads at the newfound popularity of this children’s activity, but most interviewed said it’s relaxing, meditative and maybe even therapeutic, although it’s too early to tell what science says. (The Guardian also

produced an article this summer that took insight from therapists; many said it could be therapeutic, but it’s not art therapy.)

Most adult coloring books contain more intricate illustrations, with landscape, seascape and mandala designs, which you can buy or download. Participants use all media, from colored pencils and gel pens to aquash water brushes and watercolor paints.

“I think people just like to create. We don’t get much of an opportunity to do that in our society anymore. Even if you’ve just colored something, it still feels like ... you’ve made something beautiful,” said Deb Jensen, adult services manager at the Wilton Public & Gregg Free Library.

Sandy Whipple, adult services/outreach

Goffstown librarian, said it allows you to let go of everyday worries and become a kid again. She likes to play classical music during coloring meetups.

“It gives people the chance to not think or plan but just let go and let the colors flow on the paper,” Whipple said. “One woman, who was a nurse at the VA, was very anxious to take this back to her clients because she thought it would be very beneficial.”

On a more personal note, Whipple said her adult daughter who has disabilities took right to it.

“I’ve gotten her three to four different books. She does a little bit each day.

And I can tell she’s pleased with the product. There’s an immediate gratification,” Whipple said.

• Words art: Twiggs Gallery’s (254 King St., Boscawen) newest exhibition is called “Word Play,” and it features work by 11 artists who tell stories in clay, woodworking, paper cutting, digital art, artists’ books, beadwork, textiles, calligraphy and folk art. The show, on view now through Nov. 15, has an artists’ reception Thursday, Oct. 8, from 5 to 7 p.m.

“When we first came up with the concept of text and art, I imagined most of the work would be two-dimensional,” Laura Morrison, Twiggs Gallery manager, said in a press release. “Surprisingly, the majority of the artwork in the show is three-dimensional. One of the artist books created by Gail Smuda is interactive, and visitors can change it by manipulating the components.

FOLIAGE FOLLIES If you’re in the mood for Yankee humor, Frost Heaves has you covered with a production, Foliage Follies, which happens at the Peterborough Players Theater, 55 Hadley Road, Peterborough, Friday, Oct. 9, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 10, at 2 and 7:30 p.m.; and Saturday, Oct. 17, at 7:30 p.m. This time out, the Frost Heaves Players present “such nonsense as Snow White and the Seven Yankees, Underachievers of America, The Yankee Translator, Life’s Little Mystery Theater,” plus prizes and surprises, as described in a recent press release. At every Frost Heaves performance, the Speed Bumps band writes an original “Song on the Spot” based on audience suggestions.

“We’re starting our eighth year,” says Fred Marple, unofficial spokesman for the imaginary town of Frost Heaves in the release. “We figure we’ll keep doing the show until we get it right, which should be any day now.”

Over 35,000 people are expected in Milford for the sixth annual Milford Pumpkin Festival, happening Friday, Oct. 9, through Sunday, Oct. 11. The event features three days of food, entertainment, crafts, kids’ activities and, of course, lots of pumpkins.

“It’s a great family-orientated event, and it really does a good job of kicking off the fall,” said Wendy Hunt, executive director of the Milford Improvement Team, which organizes the event. “It feels like fall has really started when you come to the Pumpkin Festival.”

The festival opens Friday at 5 p.m., with activities in various locations. An opening ceremony at the Oval will include the presentation of Milford’s Citizen of the Year award and announcement of the Pumpkin Festival Scholarship contest winners followed by the pumpkin runner and Town Hall lighting. One of the festival’s most popular events, the beer and wine tasting, will be held on the Community House lawn. For $10, participants can sample over 15 New Hampshire spirits, enjoy live music by Murphy’s Blues and purchase dinner provided by

is a family-friendly, “fun” kind of scary and would be appropriate for most kids.

Saturday and Sunday will have continuous festivities, beginning in the morning, in various locations around town. Carnival rides will be at the Boys & Girls Club, and the bounce house and climbing wall will be at Emerson Park.

The Community House lawn is the place for family fun like scarecrow making, face painting, pumpkin decorating and live music. Food vendors, pumpkins for sale, other vendor booths and more live music can be found on Middle Street and around the Oval, and the arts and crafts fair will be held inside the Town Hall.

There are also some special events happening on Saturday only. Join the Milford Historic Society for “Stories From Stone,” an interactive, humorous tour of Elm Street Cemetery, where gravesites tell the stories of the early days of Milford. Come in your most convincing zombie getup and makeup for the Zombie Walk & Costume Contest at the Community House lawn. There will be judging in several cate-

gories, followed by a parade to the Oval and back. Don’t miss the annual Pumpkin Festival Talent Show at the Amato Theater, where singers, dancers, jugglers and other talented individuals and groups will take the stage to compete for prizes.

It wouldn’t be a pumpkin festival without the pumpkins. Test your aim at the Pumpkin Catapult, held on Saturday and Sunday on South Street, and see if you can hit the floating scarecrow targets in the Railroad Pond. Head to the Oval on Saturday afternoon for the Great Pumpkin Contest Weigh-In, where you’ll see some the biggest and best pumpkins grown in New Hampshire. Cash prizes will be awarded for the largest pumpkin and largest Milford-grown pumpkin. Also at the Oval will be the festival’s trademark Pumpkin Lighting.

“Families can bring the pumpkins they carved at home, and we put those little battery-operated candles in them display them,” Hunt said. “That’s the big traditional thing for people — to bring their pumpkins. That, and the scarecrow building.”

Here are some of the tasks I’d be doing at home this week, if I wasn’t in France. First, I’d be weeding. Yes, weeds like to set their seeds in the ground in the fall for a new start in the spring. They seem to know that we are tired of pulling weeds now. But don’t let them get away from you. Pulling weeds now will save you lots of work next year, both in the vegetable garden and in the flower garden. A single weed might only produce a few hundred weeds, or up to a million for a mature purple loosestrife.

Before I left I did extra weeding. I love goldenrods and actually planted some short ones last year, and some shade-loving ones.

But the big boys, those goldenrods that get to be 6 feet tall, are too big to co-exist with most garden plants, so they had to come out. I had been leaving them in the ground as bees and other pollinators love the pollen. But before I left they had finished blooming, and I dug some out before the seeds got distributed.

A big clump of goldenrod is not something that you can easily just pull out (unless you have a backhoe). First I take my pruners and cut back the stems so I am not fighting them or getting poked in the eye. Then I go around the perimeter of the clump with a shovel or drain spade and try to get under the clump. I push the shovel in on angle, then push down on the handle to see it I can get it to lift a little. When I have gone all the way around, I push down hard, and (hopefully) the clump tips over and I can drag it aside. For purple loosestrife, which has a massive root system, it is better to cut off the tops and burn them (or put in the household trash) than to let the seeds be distributed.

Before I left I also pulled out a lot of jewel weed (a.k.a. touch-me-not). Jewel weed has seed pods that explode when they are ripe, or if you touch them when they are almost ripe.

This will grow in the sun or shade. I let mine go to seed in recent years so my grandchildren could have the fun of touching them and seeing them explode. But now the population has exploded, so this year I worked hard to get them before seeds were set. They are an annual weed that is easy to pull.

Each fall I like to weed and prepare the beds in the vegetable garden for planting in the spring. I grow my veggies in wide, mounded beds. I like to loosen the soil in the walkways and then rake the soil into my beds.

Then I add a layer of compost on top and stir it in. Finally, and I won’t do this until I return, I cover the beds with leaves and grass clippings collected by the lawnmower.

Every October I plant garlic for the next year, and you should, too. Buy seed gar-

lic from your local farmer or get some at the local garden center. Grocery store garlic probably has been chemically treated to keep it from sprouting, so is not good. It is probably not the type we can grow here, which is called hard-neck garlic. Buy it as soon as you can, as many farms run out. I don’t need to buy garlic as I save my biggest and best bulbs of garlic to use as seed garlic.

If you’ve never planted garlic, here is what you do: Prepare a bed and enrich it with plenty of compost. I use my CobraHead weeder, which has a single tine, to make a furrow and then sprinkle in some organic bagged fertilizer, and stir that in. I take a bulb of garlic and separate the cloves, usually five to seven per bulb. The roots are at the fat end, and the pointy end goes up. I plant the cloves about 3 to 4 inches apart and a couple of inches deep.

Rows should be about 6 inches apart.

The final, most important thing to do in terms of saving labor is to heavily mulch the garlic bed. You can use mulch hay or straw; a layer of the fluffy stuff a foot thick will pack down to 4 inches by the end of winter. Garlic will pop right through that layer, but most weeds will not. And don’t worry if some garlic sprouts before snow flies — it will still re-sprout in the spring.

Last winter I managed to avoid killing my rosemary plant that I had brought in last fall and potted up. So this spring I planted it in the garden, where it has thrived. Now I need to pot it up again. Pot it up in potting soil mixed with compost.

Here’s the trick about bringing in rosemary: Do it now, and let it stay outside in the pot just where it has been all summer. That way you are changing only one variable at a time. If you dig it up and bring it in right away, it not only must get used to life in a pot, but life indoors. In a week or so, bring it inside. Rosemary should survive temperatures down to 24 or 25 degrees.

And speaking of life indoors, on the next warm day wash all your houseplants with the hose to get off aphids and their eggs. Then let them dry in the sun and bring them in. You’ll have fewer aphids that way.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

$20 off Your 1st exam

Dear Donna,

Dear Theresa, Noritake china has been around since the early 1900s. It was imported from Japan to stores here in the U.S., starting in New York, and now you can still buy it in several stores that carry china dishware.

Your bowl and under-plate salad set was from the 1940s era and is called Lusterware.

That’s the soft and warm finish (opalescence) you see. Even though Noritake china is still available today, it’s the older pieces collectors are looking for. Mostly the hand-painted scene, artist-signed ones.

Some of the pieces are forms of art, they can be so detailed.

The Lusterware is not so uncommon to find and usually not too desirable to collectors. But your salad set is a nice form and not so common to find. The value would chance to fashion a one-of-a-kind fashion tote to wear around town.

All levels of experience welcome.

They were then shipped back to the companies to be sold. So some sets out there today could be signed by several artists.

I have a Noritake salad bowl with a plate it sits on and a ceramic server (the spoon).

I believe it is hand-painted with a tomato slice and lettuce leaf on the inside.

It is blue on the outside and orangish on the inside with what I would describe as a fluorescent “glow.”

Are you able to tell me anything about its value?

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Safety technologies in cars seem to be able to go the distance Dear Car Talk: I keep my cars for about 10 years and drive a lot of miles. I am ready for my next car, and am considering the new Lexus NX 200t with the four-cylinder turbo.

By Ray Magliozzi My concern is that these new cars have a lot of high-tech gadgets, like adaptive cruise controls, a system that keeps you in your lane, cameras and sensors all around the car, and most especially the turbo system. Will these gadgets last 10 years or so? — Jose I suspect they will, Jose.

This is a very nice car, by the way: powerful, comfortable, practical, reliable and good-looking to boot. You can read our Test Drive Notes on the Lexus at cartalk.com.

The safety technologies they’re using are pretty basic computer and sensor technologies. Sonar and radar have been used for generations on more-expensive vehicles, like planes and ships. It’s only recently that they’ve been miniaturized and mass-produced on a large enough scale to make them cost-effective in cars. And now they’re trickling down from luxury cars to the heaps most of us drive.

The technologies are all great. If I were buying a new car, I’d get every one of them. For instance, lots of cars now come with blind-spot warning, which tells you if there’s a car pulling up alongside of you before you change lanes. It’s fabulous.

You can now get adaptive cruise control, which detects when cars in front of you are slowing down and automatically slows the car, then speeds it back up. Some even work in stop-and-go traffic.

And best of all, a technology called precollision braking is seeping into more and more cars. If you’re looking away from the road to text your bookie, for instance, and a car in front of you suddenly slows down, the system will warn you, and even stop the car for you if you don’t stop it yourself.

The system can sense if you’re closing in on a hazard up ahead, how quickly you’re approaching it and whether your foot is already on the brake (i.e., if you’re paying attention). And if it needs to, it’ll hit the brakes to keep you from crashing. It could save a lot of lives. And downgrade the lifestyles of a lot of autobody-shop owners.

Of course, these technologies all are precursors to the self-driving car, which will add steering, navigation and car-to-car communication to the mix and allow you to text

your bookie all you want.

It’s not that I think these technologies are infallible; everything can potentially break at some point. Thank goodness for that, or we mechanics would never make our monthly boat payments. But the electronic safety systems seem pretty reliable so far.

They perform really well, in our experience.

And their benefits absolutely outweigh the risks of having to repair them someday.

As far as your turbo is concerned, turbos were always designed to last the life of the car. Unfortunately, back in the old days, they rarely did. Back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, it wasn’t uncommon for turbos to overheat and cake the oil and ruin the engine. They’d do that at about 75,000 miles. That was always good for several boat payments. But with the advent of synthetic oil and, mostly likely, improved design, turbos generally do last the life of the car. We almost never see turbo failures anymore. So I’d say go for it, Jose. And when you’re ready to sell it with 200,000 miles on it, give me a call.

Dear Car Talk: I have seen many car commercials on TV. One of the things I often see in the fine print is some form of: “Professional driver.

Do not try this.” I have always wondered,

how does one become a professional driver? — Scott The commercials you’re talking about are done by people who call themselves “stunt drivers.” My guess is that a lot of the people who end up as professional stunt drivers have some background in racing. When you race a car professionally, you learn to operate the car on the edge of it being out of control.

If you want to get your feet wet in racing, there are a number of schools around the country that will give you a one-day, threeday or five-day course on a “closed track,” as they say in the fine print. The two bestknown probably are the Skip Barber Racing School and the Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. But you can check in your area and see if there are others.

I also know Bondurant has a program for so-called executive protection and kidnapping-avoidance driving. That’s for people who have to drive in dangerous places — even more dangerous than a Massachusetts rotary. It teaches people driving skills to evade bad guys who are chasing them. That kind of stuff may translate better to stunt driving than the straight racing courses.

Celebrate the beauty of autumn at the Warner Fall Foliage Festival, happening Friday, Oct. 9, through Sunday, Oct. 11.

Home to the scenic Mount Kearsarge, Warner has hosted the festival since 1947 as an invitation for people to experience the town and its stunning display of foliage. The event features entertainment, food, a midway, a road race, a parade and more, all in the downtown area.

“Around this time, when the foliage is changing and so many people are driving through [New Hampshire], we try to highlight the beauty of our town,” said Joan Saunders, festival board president. “It’s laid out at the foot of the mountain with a great view of a lot of trees, and there’s a lot of places in town that have incredible stands of old forests.”

The festival begins on Friday at 6 p.m., with live music and the opening of the midway, which will run until 9 p.m.

Festivities on Saturday and Sunday will commence at 7 a.m. with the country breakfast. The craft fair, featuring over 80 booths of textiles, pottery, painting, photography, jewelry and more made by artisans from across New England, will open at 9 a.m., along with a farmers market. Enjoy rides at the midway beginning at 10 a.m., with allyou-can-ride bracelet specials from 4 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 2 to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Grab some tasty eats at the Lobster Dinner and Chicken BBQ at 11:45 a.m., and enjoy live music and other entertainment throughout both days.

Get the full experience of Warner’s foliage by participating in the 5-Mile Road Race on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. The race course goes down Main Street, through the Waterloo covered bridge, over Bean Hill and into the Mink Hills. Kids will have their own 1-Mile Fun Run on Sunday at

9:30 a.m., with refreshments and a postrace dance party.

The main highlight of the festival is the Grand Parade on Sunday at 1 p.m. Each year, the parade has a different theme.

This year’s theme is “Works of Art Brought to Life.”

There will be awards for the best floats, including the float that made the best use of foliage.

“You can’t miss the Grand Parade,” Saunders said. “WarJOAN SAUNDERS ner is a town full of artists and creative people, so it’s amazing to see what they come up with.”

Kids will march in an informal parade on Saturday at 1 p.m. Anyone can show up and join, and paraders are free to get creative and express themselves through costumes or outfits, talents and tricks, or they can just tag along for the march.

Check out two very different competitions on Sunday. Beginning at 11 a.m., woodsmen from all over New England will compete in a series of challenges to prove their skills at the Woodsmen Competition. At 12:15 p.m., competitors will fight through harrowing brain freezes at the ice cream eating contest.

“There are so many different events happening at the same time, it’s hard for anyone to find something they wouldn’t love to see or do,” Saunders said. “It brings friends back [to town] and families together to just enjoy the foliage and the town and the people.”

Warner is a town full of artists and creative people, so it’s amazing to see what they come up with.

How did you find your current job?

I was actually working for a company when I was going to school, and after working there for a few years, I launched my own business at the age of 20. I decided, “This is America. I can achieve anything I want.” I was a very young entrepreneur.

Christian Boyer Owner of Boyer Interior Design

I’m very grateful.

What is your typical at-work uniform?

When I’m doing an interview or first appointment with a client, I dress nice, semi-dressy. Once I get to know the client and I find that they are comfortable being casual, I dress more casual.

You’ve got to be compassionate with people, because sometimes they may want something different than what you want, and there’s a reason for that most of the time, so you’ve got to work that into your job. Without compassion, you end up in arguments, and I want to avoid all that.

From scones in the morning to bisque in the evening, expand your pumpkin-flavored horizons this fall with ideas from local chefs and bakers to enjoy pumpkin all season long.

Pumpkin pairings

Pick the perfect pumpkin

Before diving in with a delicious pumpkin recipe, you have to make sure you’re cooking with the right pumpkin, whether it’s fresh or a canned puree.

If you want to use a fresh pumpkin, avoid the jack o’ lantern kind because they’re very wet with minimal pulp. Instead, Liz Barbour, chef and owner of The Creative Feast in Hollis, recommends sugar pumpkins or cinderella pumpkins, which have a small water content and an intense pumpkin flavor.

Karen Car, owner and pastry chef at Just Like Mom’s Pastries in Weare, said when it comes to baking, canned is a good option.

“The canned pumpkin, it’s all ready to go and you know what you’re getting,” she said. “You don’t really know the moisture [with a fresh pumpkin].”

This time of year Just Like Mom’s Pastries pumpkin products include three kinds of pies, whoopie pies, muffins, scones, bread, dinner rolls, cheesecake, pumpkin pecan bars and even pumpkin dog biscuits.

Gluten-free chef and blogger Melanie Chavez of Manchester uses both canned and fresh, depending on what she’s making. “[Canned] pumpkin … it’s a lot easier to do it that way, so I use a lot of that in my baked goods,” she said. “I like to roast [fresh pumpkin] and put it in my soup.”

Brittney Hooton, manager at Midtown Cafe at the Beacon in Manchester, agrees that when it comes to making soup, fresh pumpkin is the way to go.

“If I was going to do [a] pumpkin chili, it uses the whole pumpkin because there’s not really another main veggie to it,” she said.

She’ll peel, core and dice the pumpkin to add nice orange chunks to the pot.

Incorporate it

When developing a new pumpkin-based soup, Hooton tends toward creamy recipes that highlight the thick, full flavor that many people look for, but with a unique twist added on.

Lately, she’s been toying with two new soup recipes — pumpkin chili and spicy Thai pumpkin soup. Typically she’ll scan a few recipes, combine techniques from each

And array of pumpkin baked goods from Just Like Mom’s Pastries. Courtesy photo.

of them and then tweak the result to make it her own, like putting a dollop of yogurt on top or adding goat cheese to a simple pumpkin soup base.

For Barbour, a neat way to add more pumpkin to a meal is by serving chocolate black bean chili in a roasted sugar pumpkin.

“The idea of that is I roast the sugar pumpkin separately and scoop out the inside and then I make my chili and put the hot chili into this individual [sized] pumpkin,” she said.

For added flavor and texture, roast chunks of pumpkin to add to the chili (but don’t boil them because that adds to the water content).

She also makes chicken and bean enchiChicken and bean enchiladas with pumpkin sauce From the kitchen of Liz Barbour 1 15 ounce can enchilada sauce 2 cups cooked pumpkin, pureed 12 corn tortillas 1 15 ounce can refried beans 4 cups shredded cooked chicken 2 cups cheddar cheese Gluten-free pumpkin cake From the kitchen of Melanie Chavez ½ cup pure canola oil 1 cup organic sugar 4 large organic cage-free eggs 1 teaspoon pure GF vanilla extract 1 15-ounce can 100 percent pumpkin puree ½ cup sweet sorghum flour ½ cup brown rice flour ½ cup millet flour ½ cup potato starch (or tapioca starch) 1 teaspoon GF baking powder 1 tablespoon GF pumpkin pie spice 2 teaspoons ground psyllium husk, chia seeds, flaxseed combined Coconut oil spray

When it comes to spices and flavors to pair with pumpkin dishes, you can’t go wrong with nutmeg and cinnamon or even substituting pumpkin in recipes that call for butternut squash.

“The beauty of it is you can puree it so it can be added to anything,” Barbour said. “It’s not a super strong flavor, it just depends on what seasonings you use to accent that flavor.”

She suggests stirring a pumpkin puree into oatmeal or adding chunks of pumpkin into a risotto.

“I really enjoy using the cumin, a smoked paprika, you know along those lines if I’m going to go in a savory direction,” she said.

“I think they play nicely against the slight sweetness of the pumpkin and then your salt and pepper are going to play on that as well.”

Other than a cream cheese frosting or filling, which Car said goes well with pumpkin baked goods, she likes adding in chocolate chips, coconut, orange zest, cranberries and pecans to batter.

“And of course instead of adding just cinnamon you can do it with ginger and make that more of a predominant flavor,” she said.

Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In medium bowl, combine enchilada sauce and pumpkin puree until smooth. Warm corn tortillas in microwave. Spread each tortilla with 2 tablespoons refried beans. Distribute chicken among tortillas. Roll tortillas and place in pan seam side down. Pour sauce over tortillas. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake 30-35 minutes or until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9x6-inch pan with coconut oil spray and set aside. In stand mixer, combine canola oil, sugar, mix on medium speed until combined. Add in eggs one at a time until incorporated. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined. Add pumpkin and mix until fully combined, about 1 minute. Add flours, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, psyllium husk, chia, and flax combination, mix on medium speed until combined, around 2 minutes. Scoop batter into pan and smooth with rubber spatula.

Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool for around 30 minutes. (For maple cream cheese frosting recipe, see mygflifeofficial.blogspot.com).

Ten years ago, a handful of restaurants and vendors gathered in the basement of the Capitol Center for the Arts for the first Taste of Concord. A decade later, hundreds of guests will head to the Grappone Conference Center on Thursday, Oct. 15, to sample from over 30 restaurants and vendors.

“We put it [together] as a project to raise some funds for the Boys & Girls Clubs [of Central New Hampshire],” Chris Brown, president of NH Distributors and board member for the Boys & Girls Club of Central New Hampshire, said in a phone interview.

Looking back on the event’s first year, Brown had an inkling that it could become something big.

“It’s very different than it was Year 1,” he said. “We had maybe a dozen restaurants that year and you could just see the potential of what it could become.”

That potential came to fruition with more interested restaurants, along with other features like live music, a silent auction and cooking demonstrations hosted by Baron’s Major Brand Appliances. This year, Granite Restaurant and Bar’s executive chef Corey Fletcher and O Steaks and Seafood’s owner/chef Scott Ouellette will present a cooking show style demo to the crowd.

The lineup of 30-plus restaurants and vendors includes Wellington’s Marketplace, Hermanos Cocina Mexicana, The Red Blazer, True Brew Barista, The Barley House, Arnie’s Place, Common Man and more.

Several restaurants return for Taste of Concord each year, like Cheers and O Steaks and Seafood, while others like Cimo’s South End Deli, Crust & Crumb and those from outside the city like New England’s Tap House Grille have joined in.

“We’ve opened up a little,” Brown said, both in terms of location and type of business. “You’ve got Orange Leaf [Frozen

Yogurt] and Granite State Candy so it’s not just restaurants. You kind of can start with any appetite or craving you may have until your heart’s content.”

Each restaurant or vendor will bring appetizer-sized samples, giving guests the chance to graze. Brown said most places will present a couple of options, along with sliders from those who elect to participate in the annual competition. A part of Taste for the past few years, the slider competition gives chefs the chance to flex their culinary muscles and present something unique for the chance to win the title of top slider chef.

Rachel Robie, general manager at Washington Street Cafe, said they will present three different options for the competition — a bangers and mash slider, a Caribbean slider and a carnita slider.

“We run out of food every single year and we [usually] bring about 500 sliders with us,” she said in a phone interview. “This year I’ve got about 700 pieces going.”

In addition to the three sliders, Washington Street Cafe will bring falafel, chicken lala and baklava, highlighting their regular menu.

“It’s an opportunity for individual chefs to shine at what they do and it allows them that creative expression so this is kind of putting them on a plate,” Robie said. “The slider competition is where we’re able to promote some of our other menu items.”

Restaurants and drink vendors will be set up throughout three rooms, with high-top tables for people to stop and sample before continuing on to other booths.

“We will showcase a lot of local craft [beer] and will have the wine companies, they do a spectrum of different styles,” Brown said.

Since 1927

Enjoy a taste of fall mixed with Italian culture at the annual Toscana Fest at Tuscan Village in Salem on Sunday, Oct. 11. Local vendors and artisans will line the grounds alongside booths with food, games and raffles.

“We have a piazza … where all the vendors are lined up under tents for our guests to see,” Amy Scarpello, front of the house director for Tuscan Brands, said in a phone interview.

Adults are drawn to Toscana Fest by the array of local businesses and vendors who set up booths displaying their wares, such as jewelry or pressed flowers, Scarpello said, while kids can enjoy bouncy houses, face painting, pumpkin painting and games.

Head pastry chef Dana Luppi is no stranger to Toscana Fest; she’s been a part of it since it began four years ago.

“We’re doing cider donuts, which are phenomenal. We mastered our recipe last year,” Luppi said in a phone interview. “And caramel corn, all homemade.”

Over the years other treats have been featured at the festival, but the donuts and caramel corn are always the most popular. Last year they made 500 bags of caramel corn and 250 servings of cider donuts, but since they sold out Luppi said this year they are upping the amounts of the sweet treats only available at Toscana Fest.

They’ll also have a gelato cart outside with special flavors like caramel apple crisp, pumpkin spice and blackberry pomegranate

When: Sunday, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

sorbet, although the regular gelato counter will be serving additional flavors indoors.

“The gelato cart is a way to make it portable because that’s where all the activities are happening,” she said. “We have our bocce court outside so if you want to enjoy [the food] outdoors you can, but you can also come inside and have it in there as well.”

The idea behind the food selection for the outdoor festival centers around items that are easy to eat while walking around.

“What we do here a lot of the time is focused on sitting down and enjoying with friends and family but every now and then you have a day you need to be up and walking around so we really focus on that for this day,” Luppi said.

“It’s not necessarily an Italian food, but at the same time we need to have our fall items so we put our artisan spin on those.”

Inside, guests can enjoy the market’s paninis, soups, cannolis and samples of wine, cheese and perhaps pumpkin spice chocolate chip bars, which Luppi said have been the popular pastry sample item as of late.

“For us, all of our staff is really hands-on.

We have a lot of our staff volunteer to help out outside,” Scarpello said. “Inside we have team members everywhere. Whether they’re working in the market or the kitchen [they] assist with the games and fun activities.”

“An event like this we don’t do … very often, but what it can do is bring people to maybe Toscana Fest to have some fun and see what we’re doing, but maybe they’ll walk through the market and get an idea of what we do here,” she said.

The fourth annual autumn event benefits Lazarus House Ministries, which helps families and individuals living in poverty become self-sufficient by offering emergency shelter, food, clothing and transitional housing, advocacy, education and work preparation.

“It is just a really great fall outside event to raise money for the Lazarus House,” Scarpello said.

IN THE

Kitchen

WITH RUDY GEGA

For executive manager Rudy Gega, the philosophy for keeping the customers happy at Charlie Mac’s Pizzeria (17 E. Main St., Warner, 456-2828, find them on Facebook) is to start with simple, high-quality pizzas made with fresh ingredients, then expand on that foundation to present creative specialty pizzas. One of the most important skills Gega said a pizza maker must have is finding the perfect balance for the toppings — and knowing where and how to place them.

Fresh pesto With summer being as bountiful as it is here in New Hampshire, I’m in stockpiling mode. From freezing zucchini slices to making tomato sauce en masse, I am in the zone! In the early days of our country, preserving the summer and fall harvest for the winter must have been so much more challenging. Here I am with my storage containers and freezer — it’s a piece of cake. I feel retroactively guilty toward those pioneer women.

One of the major things I need to stockpile comes from my herb garden: pesto! I have so much basil and don’t want any to go to waste. Luckily, pesto requires a lot of basil so I can use up much of what I have to make something delicious that stores quite well.

A quick online search tells me that basil pesto originated in Genoa, Italy, and is traditionally made with basil, pine nuts, garlic and olive oil. My recipe is a little different, Basil & Parsley Pesto 1-2 cloves garlic ⅓-½ cup walnuts A ton of basil!

A bit of parsley (4:1 basil to parsley) 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice Salt & pepper to taste ½-¾ cup olive oil ⅓ cup shredded Parmesan every purchase goes to the center. Every Tues. in October.

give them something good to eat! but trust me, it’s so good. The name pesto comes from the Italian pestaré, which means “to crush.” This sauce was originally made by crushing or pounding the ingredients until they became fine and suitable as a sauce.

Again, I find myself feeling bad for the old Italians because I just throw everything into a food processor and life is good.

Pesto is great on a lot of things! I love it on pasta or pizza, and it’s great to jazz up a boring vegetable soup. While you can make “pesto” by pounding just about anything together (I’ve used broccoli raab instead of basil before), the traditional Italian style is my favorite. Enjoy my recipe below that a friend’s mom graciously shared with me.

— Allison Willson Dudas In a food processor, grind garlic and walnuts together. Then, pack in as much basil as you can along with parsley. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper. Drizzle in olive oil as you blend ingredients together. Feel free to play with the ratios as you go (this will involve taste-testing!). If you’re not freezing it, add the Parmesan cheese. If freezing, wait to add until later.

Try our pumpkin beer flight today!

Pumpkin in a bottle Celebrate fall with seasonal ales

By Stefanie Phillips food@hippopress.com

I love pumpkin season. Pumpkin coffee, muffins, Oreos (OK, I haven’t tried those, yet) and, of course, beer! This is one of the best ways I know how to celebrate fall. There is no shortage of pumpkin beer options, so if you are a fan, you are bound to find one you like. Some of our local New Hampshire breweries even make their own.

Able Ebenezer Brewing Company in Merrimack uses more than 250 pounds of locally sourced pumpkins from Sunnycrest Farm in Homecoming, their spiced pumpkin ale. This brew really captures fall with its full body and notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and citrus peels. Try a pint at the brewery or take home a growler to enjoy it later. And because it is seasonal, get it while it lasts!

Two Portsmouth-based New Hampshire breweries, Smuttynose and Portsmouth Brewery, make their own seasonal pumpkin ales. They too go through the work of using real pumpkin to give the beers their authentic aroma and flavor. Both are brewed in the colonial style — early brewers used locally grown ingredients to make their supply of imported malt last as long as possible.

Smuttynose’s Pumpkin Ale is made with natural pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves to create what Smuttynose calls “a delicious American original.”

In the past, Portsmouth Brewery has sourced about 400 pounds of pumpkins from Blueberry Bay Farm in Stratham. The pumpkins have a high fruit-to-seed ratio and a high sugar content, making them perfect to use for brewing beer. I believe they are still using pumpkins from this farm.

Of course, Shipyard Brewing Company’s Pumpkinhead is an iconic fall brew that hits the drafts of many local restaurants and bars, served with a cinnamon sugar rim. This is reportedly the Portland, Maine-based company’s most popular seasonal beer, referred to as “pumpkin pie in a bottle.” For an extra kick, try it with an added shot of vanilla vodka.

Last fall, I quickly grew fond of Curious Traveler’s Jack-O-Traveler, a seasonal shandy-style wheat ale. This beer is made with real pumpkin, two row malted barley and malted wheat. According to Curious Traveler, this seasonal beer “strikes the perfect balance between bright refreshment and seasonal spice.” It is shandy inspired with just enough of a spicy kick. Fruit beer fans will enjoy the wheat influence with the pumpkin goodness.

Here are a few recipe ideas from Curious Traveler. Try the Apple Jack-O by combining

Courtesy photo.

1.5 ounces whipped cream vodka, 1.5 ounces apple cider and ¾ of a bottle of Jack-O-Traveler in a shaker and pouring over ice. Add a cinnamon sugar rim if desired. Or try the Black Jack: fill a pint glass halfway with JackO-Traveler and gently fill to the top with an Irish stout by pouring slowly over an upsidedown spoon (similar to a black and tan).

The Blue Moon Brewing Company was one of the first pumpkin beer brewers, first offering its Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale in 1995. Blue Moon decided to get away from the Oktoberfest beers that were popular at the time and offer something different.

Its pumpkin ale became the first available nationwide and other brewers followed suit.

Samuel Adams jumped on the pumpkin beer bandwagon in 2010 with its Harvest Pumpkin offering. This beer, like many of the others on this list, is made with real pumpkins added during the beer making process. According to Sam Adams, 17 pounds of pumpkin per barrel are used, along with deep roasted malts, including one with some smokiness. It also has some spiciness from traditional pumpkin pie spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice.

Harvest Pumpkin is only available in September and October. It is a rare find on draft, but very good in a frosty glass and also pairs well with a cinnamon sugar rim.

One Belgian-style wheat beer that pleasantly surprised me is the Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat. This pumpkin beer is brewed in the same style as the Shock Top Belgian White but there is something much more pleasant about it for me when put up against the Blue Moon pumpkin ale. Like many of the other pumpkin beers, this one is brewed with ripe pumpkins, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves.

Like the fall season, these beers are only around for a little while, so try them now before they are replaced by their winter counterparts.

Eh, I don’t mind this. Jack White still seems to have an honest-to-God jones for wacky pseudo-Hendrix 1960s-delica (and for the stripped-down bass-less sounds of White Stripes, to judge by opening track “I Feel Love [Every Million Miles]”), and yes, it took him three rock-star-configuration albums to find the right stride, but Dodge and Burn is, no argument, a decent conceptual acid rock LP. The subtly dissimilar feel between “Million Miles” and its followup track, the “These Eyes”-remindful “Buzzkill(er),” should be enough to lure stubborn listeners of antiquated Zeppelin-age hard rock from their safety zones — OK, let’s say if any album could accomplish such a thing, it’d have to be something very much like this. Singer Alison Mosshart must wonder aloud to the heavens every day why she was chosen to be the Sheila E to Jack’s Prince, but for unapproachable rockout-ness, she’s completely there this time. A — Eric W. Saeger Nightjacket, Eternal Phase (self-released)

I can tell you the next step in the evolution of my aesthetic taste, despite my undying devotion to Raveonettes — it’s going to be a newfound distaste for dream pop, a field that seems to fill up more and more every time I turn around.

However, the nine-song debut release from this L.A. dream-pop act won’t have any bearing on my turncoating; they’re very good without overly relying on skronky feedback washouts to pronounce their surf-and-angst beachnoise-indie. Nope, the more I dig on this the better I like it — they’re actually more like a mellowed-out Garbage on “It’s Alright,” unabashedly flaunting the tune’s sticky AOR hook as though it were 1989 all over again. No, the title track is where the Ennio Morricone beach-blanket spaghetti rears up, but not so much that it’s a smeared mess; the guitar’s got a hangover, yeah, but the drums are in no-frills studio mode — it sounds like Florence Welch fronting Spacemen 3 if you want a few handy words. Before I forget, singer Jordan Wiggins is operatrained, which explains a few things here. Quite the powerful career kickoff for this band. A — Eric W.

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • There are too many freaking deer in the indie-rock world, that’s what I say. Deer Tick, the deer-or-whatever getting its butt kicked on that Interpol album cover, that furry-love deer song from Decemberists, Dear Hunter from Boston, and of course the correctly spelled Deerhunter from Atlanta. Didn’t I review the Halcyon Digest LP from these guys? Does anyone remember, or care? Or did you just write off indie rock entirely due to the fact that the indie hipsters who live for this nonsense actually remind you of deer, the way they run away the minute they see jocks, druggies or suspiciously wrapped toaster pastries? Whatever, let’s just reboot this whole loathsome business and talk about the new Deerhunter album, Fading Frontier.

This thing here says they’re into noise and art rock, so maybe these guys are good, I can’t remember which deer they represent, so I’ll be scampering off to the YouTube forest now, to see if the indie zines are correct in loving this band. Ah look, it’s a single called “Snakeskin,” from this album. Gick, sounds like the Strokes trying to be funky.

Blah de blah, maybe more like Bowie or Spoon. I remember last decade, and I didn’t like it. The bridge part is nice. I’ve heard worse, not that you couldn’t guess that.

• Hold the phone, a new Here We Go Magic album is coming out, called Be Small. This can’t be a bad record. Please don’t suck, new Here We Go Magic album, please, I beg you. Luke Temple, a human from Salem, Mass., is this band’s leader, and I have liked all the music sounds he has made. Thus far. I repeat, thus. Let’s go see.

Nice, the new single, “Falling,” is like Wire doing a Vampire Weekend cover. Could things get better than that? Absolutely not. Gosh darn brilliance, is what I say.

• But wait, there’s more non-hate, as the band !!! (a.k.a. Chik Chik Chik) is releasing a new album, titled As If. I like those guys, even if some of you rotten snarkies are all like “Oh, you mean ‘NOT the LCD Soundsystem’?” Come on, they “sort of” make fun of cowbells, just like all hip people have done since 1840, and who says we don’t need more low-key sample-enabled post-punk? Anyone have any idea what I’m saying, at all? They’re just cool. Here, let’s try to find some preview stuff, from this album, by wading through the endless swampland of “humble-bragging,” transparently staged celebritybeef tweets, virus-ware and corporate mind-control you know as “the Internet.” The first single is “Freedom ’15,” in which Nic the singer tries to match the funk of a couple of soul divas, and then there’s a Daft Punk part — altogether it’s totally post-punk revival, but funky.

It’s better than Chromeo, but then again what isn’t.

• Naytronix is American multi-instrumentalist Nate Brenner and that’s all I know. Mister Divine is his new album, and the title-track single is comprised of sleepy nerd-tech claptrap, if that’s your bag.

Pretty stupid video, too. — Eric W. Saeger

There were around 1,000 submissions for the 15th New Hampshire Film Festival, scheduled to happen in Portsmouth Oct. 15 through Oct. 18 this year.

It wasn’t an unusual number, festival programming director Nicole Galovski said via phone. She watched more than 200 of those flicks herself, and the difference, she said, was in the quality, making this year’s programming some of the best the festival has ever seen. New Hampshire Day, Oct. 15, in particular has seen incredible transformation.

“New Hampshire Day is getting so competitive. It used to be that we’d take anything and everything five or six years ago,” Galovski said. “Now we’re only able to play the top 30 or 35 [out of 100]. We have two venues completely dedicated to New Hampshire for a full day. … There’s so much great filmmaking happening in the state. It’s really growing, and it makes us really want to include as many people as we can.”

The event occurs in various downtown venues, including one new location this year — 3S Artspace — and is made up of screenings, filmmaker Q&A’s, awards and panels.

Other venues include The Music Hall, The Music Hall Loft and the Moffatt-Ladd House, and the Discover Portsmouth Center will serve as headquarters.

Galovski said she noticed a number of themes in this year’s submissions — one was reducing the stigma of mental illness. Those that made the cut include Go Jackson Doll, A Light Beneath Their Feet, Touched With Fire and What Would Time Think of Me? Another theme was food sustainability and consciousness, which is evident in flicks like Food Fight: Inside the Battle For Market Basket and Growing Local.

But maybe one of the most anticipated food-related films, at least for many people in Portsmouth, is Brew Hampshire, about the growing craft beer culture in the state. Created by married duo and Keene grads Meagan

Frappiea and Bryant Naro, the movie has been about two years in the making. It started with what was supposed to be a short documentary about Throwback Brewery.

Then they met the people. There’s a niche in the beer-making community, they said via phone last week, partially because New Hampshire was first in the country to distinguish small nanobreweries — companies that produce fewer than 2,000 barrels a year, requiring a $240 license — and partially because of its close-knit following.

“We have met some really thoughtful, interesting characters in the beer community. … A lot of breweries have these communities behind them,” Naro said. “And I think people are excited to see their favorite or local brewery on the screen.”

This is the film’s second public New Hampshire screening, and the two are excited to show it to their home state and the film’s subjects, many of whom will be seeing it for the first time.

Coincidentally, Matt Gallagher, who runs Portsmouth Brewery, is involved in the festival as well, though his film has nothing to do with beer. He plays the son of real-life fatherin-law Bob Tarasuk in feature narrative Bob and the Trees.

Tarasuk, who lives in Sandisfield, Mass., become involved with the film when he met new-to-the-neighborhood filmmaker Diego Ongaro years back. After three years of knowing Tarasuk, Ongaro approached Tarasuk — he thought he was a character, and he thought he had a story.

“He just approached me out of the blue and asked if I wanted to be in a short movie,” Tarasuk said. “I said sure, why wouldn’t I? I had no acting experience.”

They made the short, fictional narrative, and then created a long one, shooting for three weeks in the middle of February. The film is technically fictional, but Tarasuk plays himself and the story is about his occupation — logging. The flick recently won awards at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic, and is fresh from a screening at Sundance.

Saturday’s comedy panel includes special guest celebrities, including John Michael Higgins (Best in Show, Pitch Perfect), Tom Bergeron (Dancing With the Stars, America’s Funniest Home Videos) and Jimmy Dunn.

David Dastmalchian (The Dark Knight) will perform as an NHFF screenplay judge.

“Spotlight films” include Manglehorn (starring Al Pacino and Holly Hunter), The Witch (which was very successful at Sundance), Mississippi Grind (starring Ryan Reynolds and Ben Mendelsohn), Anomalisa (directed by Charlie Kaufmann), Cartel Land, The Wolfpack and A Ballerina’s Tale.

When I am Happiest written by Rose Lagercrantz, illustrated by Eva Eriksson, 2015 (Fiction, ages 6-8)

In the spirit of “True Grit,” the cutthroat days of the Wild West come to life for a new generation.

Erin Bowman joins us to present: Vengeance Road.

time-share taken to its logical conclusion.”)

In a well-thought-out community like that, what could possibly go wrong, eh? Stan and Charmaine plunge into their new lives, he repairing scooters (the mode of transportation), and she as a nurse. As “chief medications administrator” of the community, Charmaine becomes the frog that is slowly boiled, taking on responsibilities that morph from the morally dubious to the certifiably damned. Meanwhile, to escape their sedate marriage and stifling lives, both become embroiled in dangerous affairs.

Is the morass in which Charmaine and Stan find themselves ensnared made worse or better by the fact that they chose it? Like all residents of Consilience, they surrendered their cell phones upon entering, and they were told there was no exit; they could not have contact with the outside world and were signing up for life. In abandoning grimy freedom for manacled security, are they so different from the cubicle worker who puts in nine hours at the office so he can go home to a clean bed and fresh towels each night?

The cubicle worker, in a sense, has it worse: at least the residents of Consilience get out of jail six months a year.

Atwood has written 40 (40!) other books and is a master of the dystopian genre; her work includes The Handmaid’s Tale, The Edible Woman and Oryx and Crake. In the latter’s creepy “Chickienobs” — chickens without heads or feet — she archly proposes a solution to the moral conundrum of meat eating: no need to worry about eating something that can’t feel pain or look at you.

At 75, she remains cutting edge in The Heart Goes Last, envisioning a future with love imprinting and sex robots. There is, perhaps, too much dysfunctional sex in the book. But dark, prescient and smart, Atwood’s latest still manages to be funny. A — Jennifer Graham

Charmaine sees an Amway-like ad on TV for a new development that offers employment and housing, it seems as if angels are speaking.

“Tired of living in your car?” the ad says. “Of course you are! You didn’t sign up for this. You had other dreams. You deserve better.”

Succumbing to the pitch, the couple is whisked away with other recruits to the dazzling gated community in a town called Consilience, where everything has a 1950s vibe by design. The era was chosen “because that was the decade in which the most people had self-identified as being happy. Which is one of the goals here: maximum possible happiness.

Consilience is everything the ad had promised: employment and lovely, landscaped houses with king-sized beds. The catch is that you get one month in the house, and the next month you spend in the community’s prison, Positron, “which technically means the antimatter counterpart of the electron, but few out there would know that, would they? As a word, it just sounded very, well, positive.”

The prison is necessary because, as polite society fell apart, it became clear that incarceration remained a viable means of commerce, because of the jobs it continually produces — cleaning, maintenance, construction, guards. In fact, Consilience suggested that a town could function on only that industry, with half the people prisoners and the other half prison workers.

“And since it was unrealistic to expect certified criminality from 50 percent of the population, the fair thing would be for everyone to take turns: one month in, one month out.”

Because they would just be living in the house every other month, Consilience residents share the homes with others, called alternates. (“Think of the savings with every dwelling serving two sets of residents! It was

The Heart Goes Last, by Margaret Atwood (Nan A. Talese/ Doubleday, 306 pages) Is having a job, enough to eat, and a small house with clean linens and fresh, fluffy towels worth giving up your freedom half of the time?

That’s a question posed in Margaret Atwood’s latest dystopia, where the middle class has dissolved, the wealthy moved out West or offshore, and businesses and houses are boarded up, while gangs of roving IT guys roam the streets looking for work and food.

(Think: We should have done something about the national debt when we had the chance.)

Puttering through this dismal world in The Heart Goes Last are Stan and Charmaine, a married couple, once professionals, who had to abandon their cozy two-bedroom starter house when life as they knew it fell apart for reasons that are unclear. “There were hordes of two-bit experts on TV pretending to explain why it had happened — demographics, loss of confidence, gigantic Ponzi schemes — but that was all guesswork bull****. Someone had lied, someone had cheated, someone had shorted the market, someone had inflated the currency. Not enough jobs, too many people.”

Now living in their car, an increasingly pungent Honda ill-suited for sleep or sex, the pair is perpetually exhausted; they have to move the car every few hours to get away from criminals who leer in the windows, coveting the keys. They have abandoned light-colored clothes for dark, so the filth is less obvious, and they eat day-old doughnuts and whatever they can find in garbage bins. Charmaine waits tables and pours drink at a bar that once served highly paid technology workers but now is a hub for drug dealing and prostitution.

It’s not the apocalypse — there’s still electricity — but it’s miserable enough that when

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

The Martian (PG-13)

An astronaut stranded on Mars has to hack, like, everything to survive in The Martian, a movie that ought to be shown to all kids, age 11 and up, as pro-STEM propaganda.

Learn biology and you can grow potatoes in rehydrated poop! Learn math and you can navigate a spaceship! Learn chemistry and you’ll know several methods for blowing things up in a peaceful, workrelated setting! These are much better arguments for learning math and science than “you’ll use math every day when you’re older” because, honestly, cosine is not a thing I’ve even thought about since the 11th grade.

But because Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is a trained astronaut and a botanist he knows all about growing potatoes in poop and finding ways to “make” more water to grow said potatoes, which will help him stretch his rations when he finds out he’s been left on Mars, alone, probably with no chance of rescue for at least four years. Mark’s crew, who believe he died in an accident while the crew was leaving the planet during a storm, is headed back to Earth, and even NASA, at first, doesn’t know Mark’s alive. With the rations left for the six-person crew and the potatoes Mark grows, he hopes to make it until the next Mars mission arrives in four years — or at least until NASA figures out that he’s alive and how to get him more provisions.

And, of course, food isn’t his only prob-

lem. He has to make sure that he has enough oxygen, that the temporary structure where he’s staying never has a breach and that he doesn’t freeze to death. “I’m going to have to science the heck out of this,” Mark says at one point (well, OK, not exactly those words but that’s as close as I can get to the actual quote in print). And that, essentially, is the movie; Mark and others sciencing their way out of problems.

After Mark spends about a month on Mars, NASA officials — the most plotprominent of whom are played by Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wiig, Sean Bean and Mackenzie Davis — figure out, by seeing satellite images of moved

and cleaned equipment, that Mark is still alive. But there is still no way to contact him — a problem that eventually involves the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a team there that includes characters played by Donald Glover and Benedict Wong. Eventually — trailers give this away so it’s only a mild spoiler — the crew of Mark’s ship (Jessica Chastain, Michael Peña, Kate Mara, Sebastian Stan and Aksel Hennie), called the Hermes, gets involved in his survival as well. All eventually work together to save the life of their colleague and, one suspects, because every part of orchestrating his survival is kind of the coolest thing ever.

that pulls together into some- the rest of the cast. The story thing bigger than the sum of charms while those twinkly its parts. C+ little Pixar details delight. A *Inside Out (PG) Voices of Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith.

Also lending voices: Richard Kind, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Diane Lane, Kyle MacLachlan and, because this is a Pixar film, just a little John Ratzenberger. Of course, it’s not really a Pixar special until you’re weeping in public, which you will do at this tale of a young tween learning to deal with the emotional turmoil of a move from her lifelong home in Minnesota to San Francisco. The movie artfully shows why sadness is a useful emotion and serves as a beautiful rendered reminder of the bittersweet nature of the transition from childhood to teenager-hood. Poehler is at her Leslie Knope pluckiest and well-supported by

The Intern (PG-13) Anne Hathaway, Robert De Niro.

This Nancy Meyers’ joint features De Niro reentering the workforce at age 70 as an intern at an Internet company. OK-ish chemistry between Hathaway and De Niro and a few interesting ideas about the modern workforce do not add up to a movie’s worth of fun. C Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (PG-13) Dylan O’Brien, Giancarlo Esposito.

This second outing of the Maze Runner YA dystopia series is a more energetic, enjoyable movie than the first thanks in part to the addition of grown-ups and locations that aren’t the overly complicated Maze. C+

This movie makes science look like the coolest thing ever! OK, I’m sure there’s plenty of unscientific hooey in the movie — there always is in movies of this sort.

But what this movie does is make not just the results of the science but the doing of the science fascinating. People working, that’s what we’re watching, people working to do cool things in space. For that reason, and because the movie actually hews more to the PG of PG-13-ness, I actually do think this is a movie that is middle-schooler appropriate (there are some moments of bad language and one very unsexy shot of Damon’s backside).

Like Gravity (but not, for me anyway, Interstellar), The Martian captures the wonder of space and discovery but in a way that is more engaging, approachable and joyous than the awe-inspiring but minor-key-toned Gravity regularly was.

And The Martian is funny. Matt Damon does a good job of crafting a character who has the pluck and affability you’d need to have to face this problem and not crumble immediately but who can still have human moments of doubt, frustration and fear. In Mark’s video logs, he gets to crack wise in the kind of sanity-saving way you’d expect a person in his situation to do. Both the Hermes crew and the scientists back on Earth also have a similar sense of humor in approaching their most serious tasks. And, you’d imagine, they’d have to; how else do you deal with the reality of trying to save someone you’ve

Pawn Sacrifice (PG-13) Tobey Maguire, Peter Sarsgaard.

Liev Schreiber also shows up as Boris Spassky, the Russian chess master American Bobby Fischer is determined to face and beat. Maguire’s Fischer is interesting but not fully fleshed out. BThe Perfect Guy (PG-13) Sanaa Lathan, Michael Ealy.

A woman with terrible taste in men but excellent taste in real estate is stalked by the obvious creeper she briefly thinks is “the one.”

The movie is most notable for Lathan’s character’s beautiful mid-century modern suburban house — the windows! the closets! the natural light! CThe Visit (PG-13) Olivia DeJonge, Ed Oxenbould.

Everything that is initial-

ly annoying and forced about this oddball M. Nigh Shyamalan comedy-horror eventually becomes kind of clever. I’m still not sure what this is but it isn’t the paint-by-numbers movie I expected. I gave it a B- but could also have said at points in the movie D-, C and even B+. I am once again cautiously optimistic about Shyamalan’s ability to make a watchable movie. BA Walk in the Woods (R) Robert Redford, Nick Nolte.

This adaptation of Bill Bryson’s 1998 travel book about his attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail lacks the charm of Bryson’s writing and feels weirdly sour.

While Nolte at least makes a stab at creating an interesting character in hiking companion Stephen Katz, Redford’s Bryson remains flat. C-

already had memorials for who is stranded millions of miles away?

Though it clocks in at nearly two and a half hours, The Martian feels well-paced and held my attention throughout. It has a lightness that serves as a good balance to its more epic qualities (pretty renderings of Mars and space, meticulous special effects, literally otherwordly action) and performances that ground the story with humanity. A Rated PG-13 for some strong language, injury images and brief nudity. Directed

by Ridley Scott with a screenplay by Drew Goddard (from the book by Andy Weir), The Martian is two hours and 21 minutes long and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Even a tough-as-nails FBI agent finds herself shocked by the extreme violence and lawlessness of both sides of the fight against Mexican drug cartels in Sicario, a movie that had better get Emily Blunt an Oscar nomination.

I mean, if not her for this then what is even the point of the Oscars? She is excellent here. She is the movie. Without her, it’s a bunch of machismo and gruesomeness.

With her, there is conflict, there is moral dilemma, there is, essentially, a point.

Blunt plays Kate Macer, an FBI agent whose specialty is going on raids of properties suspected to be involved in drug smuggling. She isn’t a narcotics agent investigating crimes, we’re told, she’s an agent who pounds on doors. Or, in the case of the raid that opens the movie, knocks down walls, which is how the FBI agents get into a house in Phoenix where they think a higher-up in a drug cartel may be holding hostages. They don’t find any hostages. What Kate and her partner Reggie (Daniel Kaluuya) do, horrifyingly, find is rotting bodies stashed in the walls of the house. Dozens of bodies, probably of people killed at the direction of Manuel Diaz (Bernardo P. Saracino), a cartel boss who — as they know but can’t prove — owns the house. As if that sight alone isn’t horrible enough for Kate, when an officer goes in to inspect a locked storage space below an outbuilding, a bomb is triggered, killing two of the law enforcement officers who are part of the raid.

Kate is eager to get the people responsible for these deaths and for the many murders represented by the bodies in the house. For that reason, she agrees to be part of a task force of law enforcement agencies going after Manuel Diaz, even though she doesn’t really understand what the task force will be doing. The group is led by Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), a man who is somehow sanctioned by the Department of Justice but whose identity and motivations are otherwise unclear.

Even more uncertain is the role of Ale-

Sicario

jandro (Benicio Del Toro), a man who accompanies Graver and who tells Kate he has worked as a prosecutor in Mexico and has ties to Columbia.

Kate is told that she’s going on a raid in the El Paso, Texas, area to find Guillermo Diaz (Edgar Arreola), Manuel’s brother.

The plan, Graver says, is to get Guillermo to lead them to Manuel and Manuel to lead them to Fausto Alarcon (Julio Cedillo), the big boss man. As it turns out, though, “El Paso area” actually means the nearby city of Juarez, Mexico, which means Kate is joining a team of law enforcement types and Delta Force bad-asses for a raid in a foreign country. She has all sorts of problems with this plan, especially when it ends with a shootout at the border on a highway loaded with civilians.

As she works with Graver, she argues that some of what he finds — financials on Manuel, for example — can be used to build a traditional prosecution against him. But even Kate’s boss (Victor Garber) tells her to let go of the idea of standard procedures and let Graver go ahead with his shady plans. Kate understands the importance of getting Fausto but she finds herself increasingly wary of Graver’s methods.

I left this movie thinking both “that was really engrossing; I’d totally watch that FX hour-long drama” (though, in fairness, I didn’t when it was called The Bridge) and also “I’m not sure what the point of all that was.” There is an unresolved feeling to the movie that mirrors the drug war itself — fearless prediction: barring zombie or nuclear apocalypse, nobody will ever say about the War on Drugs “there, all fixed” — and that didn’t bother me.

But it does leave you wondering what happens next, and without knowing the next, the movie leaves you with a sense of incompleteness. It has the feel of the first episode of a solid prestige drama.

Actually, the TV show version of Sicario would make for a really interesting

drama in the sense that Kate is not an anti-hero. She wants prosecutions, she wants drug cartel members off the streets but she wants it done by the book. She is not a “does bad things for a good reason” type and through her eyes we understand the moral hazard of that way of thinking. Normally in movies like this, we are asked to root for That Guy, the one who shoots first and worries about search warrants later. But here, we are asked to root for the rule of law. Kate isn’t a justice robot, she wants to get the people who are responsible for the house full of dead bodies, but she does not agree that the answer to that kind of violence is more extreme violence, such as the torturing of prisoners or shooting up a public street in a foreign country.

Blunt does an excellent job of making Kate a nuanced character even if her belief in following the rules is fairly unwavering. I could imagine a version of this character who seems naive to the realities of dealing with criminals who will hang the mutilated bodies of victims from overpasses. I could also imagine an equally one-dimensional character who quickly folds and puts results ahead of law. Kate isn’t either. She understands the evil she’s dealing with but she simply isn’t willing to do what isn’t right. And, while she is clearly a tough, cool lady, Blunt’s Kate is nonetheless shaken up by what she sees, as one expects most people would be. Kate never seems to be doing a tough girl act. Rather, Blunt makes her a woman who is actually tough and capable but not devoid of a sense of right and wrong or of fear.

Sicario is a fascinating, if bleak, look at the drug war and the way it twists even decent people who get caught up in it. ARated R for strong violence, grisly images and language. Directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Taylor Sheridan, Sicario is two hours and one minute long and distributed by Black Label Media.

NITE Peter Wolf talks Local music news & events

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

• Remembrance: The Concord music community gathers in memory of a friend for Mikey Vyce Anti Hoot VI. Vyce died in a 2010 car crash. “Bands, organizations, and friends were created because of him,” Rob Kleiner of YourBand.info wrote. “He inspired others.” Vyce’s widow Traci McLean, Mechelle Zydenbos, Shady Tom and Them in the Hive are among the performers. It happens Thursday, Oct. 8, at 9 p.m. at Penuche’s, 16 Bicentennial Square, Concord. See on.fb.me/1WHFCQw. • Brassy duo: Boston electro-funksters The Hornitz return for a downtown show.

Begun by two session horn players seeking new musical horizons, their sound is a funky stew mixing keyboards, samples, sound effects and a Human Beatbox. It’s both infectiously danceable and quite popular with local crowds and the festival circuit, where they’re an annual summer mainstay. See them Friday, Oct. 9, at 9 p.m., at Penuche’s, 20 Hanover St. Manchester. See facebook.com/thehornitz.

• Reboot: After disbanding a few years ago, Darrah has reformed as a trio, appropriately named Channel 3. Mixing hard rock covers with some originals, the members of the group have collaborated on a variety of endeavors for nearly a decade, but always find themselves returning to to this effort.

“We’ve all grown up and grown up together with this project,” guitarist and singer Brett Higgins said recently. Darrah plays Saturday, Oct. 10, at 8 p.m. at East Side Club, 786 Massabesic St., Manchester.

• River jam: Summer’s start welcomed a new performance space near the banks of the Merrimack. It’s still going strong; a concert featuring Cole Robbie Band with Boogie On Alice is the latest event. CRB is a jammy trio with Shalanski on lead vocals and guitar, bassist Chris Candito (Bräsbe) and Renato Morais on drums, mixing originals with well-crafted Grateful Dead covers. The $10 show is BYOB, on Sunday, Oct. 10, at 9 p.m. at Toad Hall Art Bazaar, 361 Central St., Franklin, 934-1491.

• Folk hero: Once a carpenter, David Francey is now in the top tier of Canadian songwriters. His latest record, So Say We All, is a brilliant chronicle of struggling through hardship, depression and loss and emerging with spirit intact to celebrate life in spite of it all. The singer and guitarist is a winner of multiple Junos and has been called “Canada’s best contemporary songwriter” by more than one critic. Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 9 p.m., at Stone Church, 5 Granite St., Newmarket. $15 at brownpapertickets.com.

J. Geils Band singer performs at Flying Monkey

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

Though Peter Wolf will perform primarily solo material Oct. 17 at Plymouth’s Flying Monkey Theatre, most of his band will be the same guys he shared the stage with for the year-long J. Geils Band tour that wrapped up a few weeks ago — Duke Levine and Kevin Barry playing guitars, and drummer Tom Arey.

Bassist Marty Ballou rounds out the group.

The singer is working on a new record, his first since 2010’s Midnight Souvenirs.

The previous disc featured duets with Merle Haggard, Neko Case and Shelby Lynne, but this one’s all Wolf. A collaboration with Bobby Womack, who wrote the Geils Band’s first hit, “Looking for a Love,” was scrapped when Womack died unexpectedly last year.

Wolf spoke with the Hippo while traveling back from a New York City premiere of Under the Influence. (He called the Netflix Keith Richards film “a great documentary.”)

Do you think your show business marriage [to actress Faye Dunaway] in the 1970s would have been more difficult in the Internet age?

In actuality, it did happen. When I was

married, I got calls from People magazine and Barbara Walters wanting to come in the house. It’s just we didn’t choose to be a professional or public couple. Like Gregg Allman and Cher, they were all over the place. It’s just something I personally didn’t want to do so it was under the radar, but I understand your question. It would be a lot different today for sure.

On a personal note, I experienced many amazing Geils Band shows growing up near San Francisco — thank you.

It’s funny, because on this last Geils tour we were doing “Cruising for a Love” [and] I said, ‘I’d like to dedicate this song to a gentleman by the name of Bill Graham, who was really responsible for us getting our start.’ He invited us down sight unseen to play the Fillmore East, and we were opening for a band called Black Sabbath.

The audience really didn’t want to hear us, but he said, ‘You gotta give these guys a chance.’ We went over so well he kept inviting us back. Then when he was closing it down he invited us and Albert King and the Allman Brothers with Duane Allman, a pretty heady night that went until six in the morning. Everybody kept playing and jamming … a lot of those people aren’t around, but it was important that we got to work with people who were creative in presenting the music.

I count myself as fortunate to grow up in Bill Graham’s Bay Area. His loss has been felt for a long time.

It was a different landscape for sure, because Bill really started setting the tone of how to make it comfortable for a performer, with dressing rooms and stuff you take for granted; so much of it was due to his style.

SIGNS OF LIFE his, a 250 Lusso. That blew my mind — the way it sounded, the way it smelled, the whole thing about it. … I was always a car guy. You will meet a car guy and get a chance to see a Ferrari up close.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) I talked the manager of the ABC Store into opening a music department at the Riverside store and I ran it. I ordered all the records. Your powers of persuasion are at a peak.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) The HSAS [Hagar, Schon, Aaronson, Shrieve] thing didn’t really work. Neal and I had wanted to do something together, but I don’t know why we got bassist Kenny Aaronson and drummer Michael Shrieve. They were good and everything, but it was more a matter of who was available. Go with who’s available.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) I had this great idea to make these upscale flannel shorts. I bought the flannel from Ralph Lauren. … it was the baddest flannel. I lost probably $300,000, because I got a huge order I couldn’t fill from JC Penney’s.

I was late. I ended up with $65,000 worth of these flannel shorts in my warehouse, because they wouldn’t take them. Some of them didn’t have buttons, I was trying to rush them out so fast. The next year, everybody had flannel shorts. Very tough business. Two words: flannel shorts.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) I can’t play guitar and sing. That is way too much work. Stick to doing one thing well.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) We arrived at the Mount Kenya Safari Club … I hated the place. … But best coffee I ever had in my life? Mount Kenya Safari Club, no question. If nothing else, at least the coffee will be good.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Even before I ever heard his music, I saw a picture of David Bowie and I immediately knew. This was one cool-looking dude. This cat’s got it going on.

You may have strong first impressions — some will bear out, some won’t.

All quotes are from Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock, by Sammy Hagar, born Oct. 13, 1947.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) The Cabo Wabo became a place where anybody could come down and play. I never charged for my birthday bash. It was special to me. … People started showing up — Slash, Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Stephen Stills ….

Toby Keith flies in every year for my birthday.

Kenny Chesney came down one year with his whole band and played for three hours and forty minutes. It’s your turn to dance the night away.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) I decided to put a band together. I wanted somebody the opposite of Eddie Van Halen. Start by thinking about what you don’t want.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) The only people that sell records anymore are brand-new little pop bands that kids buy. Did you know vinyl is back? Check it out.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) We stood at the back door when along comes this clunky … orange school bus, and George Babcock gets out of the bus with the Stones. They walked in the back door, and we walked right in behind them. ... That night, I knew I wanted to be a musician.

Look for insight into what you want to be.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) It was two o’clock in the morning when the cop pulled me over. We’d been traveling for twenty-four hours. I was burnt. While I was out of the country, they had changed the speed limits. The cop starts writing me the ticket. “Officer,” I said, “I was only going sixty-two.” “Around here,” he said, “we give tickets for sixty-two.” He was parked behind some trees on a four-lane highway, nobody on the road, the middle of the night. I looked at Betsy. “I can’t drive fiftyfive,” I said. Stick to the speed limit.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) I’d never even really seen a Ferrari up close. J Geils took Ronnie and me for a ride around Boston one time in

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Priorities

A New York University Center for Justice study released in September warned that, unless major upgrades are made quickly, 43 states will conduct 2016 elections on electronic voting machines at least 10 years old and woefully suspect. Those states use machines no longer made or poorly supported, and those in 14 states are more than 15 years old. There are apprehensions over antiquated security (risking miscounts, potential for hacking), but also fear of election-day breakdowns causing long lines at the polls, depressing turnout and dampening confidence in the overall fairness of the process. The NYU center estimated the costs of upgrading at greater than $1 billion.

Wait, what?

• In a “manifesto” to celebrate “personal choice and expression” in the standard of beauty “in a society that already places too many harmful standards on women,” according to a July New York Times report, some now are dyeing their armpit hair. At the Free Your Pits website, and events like “pit-ins” in Seattle and Pensacola, Florida, envelope-pushing women offer justifications ranging from political resistance to, according to one, “want(ing) to freak out (her) in-laws.” Preferred colors are turquoise, hot pink, purple and neon yellow.

• Actress Melissa Gilbert (a star of TV’s “Little House on the Prairie”), 51, announced in August that she would run for Congress from Michigan’s 8th Congressional District even though she is currently on the hook to the IRS and California for back taxes totaling $470,000. Gilbert, a former president of the Screen Actors Guild and member of the AFL-CIO Executive Council, promised that she (and her actorhusband) would pay off her tax bill by the year 2024.

Men are simple

Update: Five years after News of the Weird mentioned it, Japan’s Love Plus virtual-girlfriend app is more popular than ever, serving a growing segment of the country’s lonely males beyond peak marital years and resigned to artificial “relationships.” Love Plus models (Rinko, Manaka and Nene) are chosen mostly (and surprisingly) not for physical attributes, but for flirting and companionship. One user described his “girlfriend” (in a September Time magazine dispatch) as “someone to say good morning to in the morning and ... goodnight to at night.” Said a Swedish observer, “You wouldn’t see (this phenomenon) in Europe or America.” One problem: Men can get stuck in a “love loop” waiting for the next app update with, they hope, more “features.”

The job of the researcher

Scientists at North Carolina State and Wake Forest universities have developed a machine that vomits, realistically, enabling the study of “aerosolization” of dangerous norovirus. “Vomiting Larry” can replicate the process of retching, including the pressure at which particles are expelled (which, along with volume and “other vomit metrics,” can teach the extent of the virus’ threat in large populations). The researchers must use a harmless stand-in “bacteriophage” for the studies because norovirus is highly infectious even in the laboratory.

Police report

Relentless Wannabes: (1) Authorities in Winter Haven, Florida, arrested James Garfield, 28, with the typical faux-police set-up Ford Crown Victoria with police lights, uniform with gold-star badge, video camera, Taser, and business cards printed with “law enforcement.” (Explained Garfield lamely, the “law enforcement” was just a “printing mistake.”) (2) In nearby Frostproof, Florida, Thomas Hook, 48, was also arrested in September, his 14th law-enforcementimpersonator arrest since 1992. His paraphernalia included the Crown Vic with a prisoner cage, scanner, spotlight, “private investigator” and “fugitive recovery” badges, and an equally bogus card identifying him as a retired Marine Corps major.

but not Storrie’s. After Storrie vengefully snatched Jenner’s own hot water, Jenner punched him twice in the head, leading Storrie to threaten to kill Jenner (but also asking, plaintively, “Is this how you practice dharma?”). (2) A Buddhist monk from Louisiana, Khang Nguyen Le, was arrested in New York City in September and accused of embezzling nearly $400,000 from his temple to fuel his gambling habit (blackjack, mostly at a Lake Charles, Louisiana, casino).

Oops!

An official of the Missouri Republican Party apologized in September for the “thoughtless” act of using an original Thomas Hart Benton mural in the state Capitol as a writing surface. Valinda Freed and a man were exchanging business cards, and Freed, needing to jot down information on the card, placed it directly on the mural to backstop her writing.

Least competent criminals

Police in South Union Township, Pennsylvania, say David Lee, 46, is the one who swiped a Straight Talk cellphone from a Wal-mart shelf on Sept. 15 (but wound up in the hospital). After snatching the phone, Lee went to a different section of the store and tried to open the packaging with a knife, but mishandled it and slashed his arm so severely that he had to be medevaced to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Buddhists acting out • Police in Scotland’s Highlands Pittsburgh (and a hazmat crew had to be were called in September when a Bud- summoned to clean up all of the blood Lee dhist retreat participant, Raymond had splattered).

Storrie, became riled up that another, RobVisit weirduniverse.net. ert Jenner, had boiling water for his tea,
