GRANITE VIEWS FRED BRAMANTE

The gun debate Let me begin with personal perspective: I’ve never owned gun. I don’t oppose other people owning a gun, as long as they get it legally and they are not a threat to innocent folks. I’m a registered Republican. Guns are not a personal priority.

In 400 words, I’ll try to share what I think about this complicated subject.

There are 300,000,000 guns already out there in America. (Congressional Research Service, 2009). They aren’t going to be confiscated anytime within the foreseeable future.

Violent crime is down 49 percent since the 1970s. (Meet the Press, 2015) 61 percent of U.S. gun deaths in America are suicides, virtually double the number of homicides. (Wikipedia) In China, suicide rates are double the U.S. rate (Kiersz, 2014), yet there are virtually no guns.

“There is no discernible evidence that shows that more gun laws lead to more or less gun crime” (Robertson, 2015).

Over 80 percent of guns used in mass shootings were acquired legally (Mother Jones, 2015).

I would welcome further gun-control laws that would make a real difference, but I don’t know what those laws would be. Should we eliminate the gun show loophole? Absolutely! But will that make a real difference in homicides? I say no.

Should we reinstate the ban on assault weapons? I say yes. Will that make a significant difference? I doubt it. Assault weapons are already out there, and if we ban them, the bad guys will still get them.

What about making it so that seriously mentally challenged folks are reported to the police and monitored so they can’t get access to guns? But how can that happen with privacy rights and doctor/client privilege?

I wish I were more optimistic, but if after Sandy Hook Congress can’t even pass universal background checks, something virtually 90 percent of us support, then how can we pass laws that will actually make a difference?

Our forefathers never envisioned the weapons available today. Now, let’s envision far more deadly weapons of the future. When future handheld weapons have the ability to take down large buildings, will we then realize that something needs to change?

While some of the common suggestions for reform (e.g. background checks, etc) might have a marginal effect, I can’t envision a law that could have a statistically significant impact on homicide rates passing in Congress.

NEWS & NOTES

Van Ostern for gov

Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern announced his candidacy for New Hampshire governor, making him the only Democrat to enter the race so far. The Union Leader reported he made the announcement at the Manchester-based tech marketing firm SilverTech. Van Ostern has been on the Executive Council since 2012. He works for Southern New Hampshire University and helped launch its College for America. The 36-year-old is married with two kids. So far Executive Councilor Chris Sununu is the only Republican to announce a bid for the corner office, while state Rep. Frank Edelblut is spending $250,000 of his own money to explore a possible bid, and state Senate finance chair Jeanie Forrester is also considering running.

Northern Pass

Despite 52 additional miles of buried power lines in the latest Northern Pass proposal, opposition by environmental groups seems to be continuing undaunted.

NHPR reported the National Trust for Historic Preservation is making the case that the project, which would deliver Canadian hydro-electric power through the state, would cut a “destructive path” through the state’s scenic areas and threaten its “historic character.” The trust called the U.S. Department of Energy’s efforts to review the project inadequate and called upon the federal agency to pay attention to the impact on scenic and historic sites.

Problem solvers?

The No Labels Problem Solver Convention took place on Oct. 12 at the Manchester Radisson with speeches from eight presidential candidates, five of whom were there in person. Billionaire Donald Trump and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham were among the first to speak on stage, each sticking to their comfortable formats with Trump sharing anecdotes at the podium and Graham pacing with mike in hand to answer town hall-style questions from the audience.

About 2,000 people attended the event, according to WMUR. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former New York Gov. George Pataki and Ohio Gov. John Kasich rounded out the other Republican candidates who participated. Democrats Bernie Sanders, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb took part through live video since they had to participate in the first Democratic debate in Las Vegas the next day.

Liberty straw poll Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul won the Republican Liberty Caucus straw poll conducted in Nashua following RLC convention, the Union Leader reported. Paul and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz were the only major candidates who spoke in person at the event. Cruz came in second after Paul with 339 votes to Paul’s 445. Ben Carson came in third with 139 votes. Both campaigns sent out press releases claiming a sort of victory. Paul’s campaign called it proof that he had cohesive support among libertarian voters in New Hampshire while Cruz called his second-place standing an “upset” that showed he was gaining ground among constitutional conservatives.

More visits While Democrats sparred during their first CNN debate on Oct. 13, Republicans swarmed the Granite State. The Concord Monitor reported former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Kasich, Graham, Pataki and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee had events planned across the state.

Making NH competitive Can business tax cuts help the state?

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

If New Hampshire’s plan to lower business taxes works, the state could end up with a competitive edge over Massachusetts.

Last month, the Republican-led legislature and Gov. Maggie Hassan resolved their months-long stalemate over the state’s operating budget, which included tax cuts for businesses — something New Hampshire hasn’t seen for 20 years.

In fact, business tax rates have remained unchanged in either direction since fiscal year 2002.

Competing with Mass.

“This has been part of a comprehensive strategy to lower the cost of doing business in New Hampshire,” Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley said.

The BET and BPT don’t stack, however. The BET is paid as a credit towards the BPT.

He said lowering business taxes was an important part of a multipronged effort, but not a silver bullet.

Bradley pointed to reports by the Tax Foundation, which ranked New Hampshire 48th for its corporate tax rate.

“Having talked to the business leaders around the state that I’ve talked to, I know that the high corporate tax rate is an issue for them,” Bradley said. “When a company, for instance, like BAE, is deciding whether to locate new production in New Hampshire or [elsewhere], all of the business costs ... are a consideration. By making this move, we make ourselves somewhat more competitive.”

Bradley set the final rate for the Business Profits Tax, currently at 8.5 percent, to end at 7.9 percent in order to be lower than Massachusetts’ rate of 8 percent.

“That was always the primary goal,” Bradley said.

Will it work?

Jeff McLynch at the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute questions how effective business tax cuts will be at enticing businesses since the biggest tax expense for them are actually property taxes, which make up more than 45 percent of their tax burden.

Economist Dennis Delay with the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies says there aren’t any conclusive, scientific studies that prove lowering corporate tax rates will make New Hampshire more competitive. But Delay says the benefit will go to the larger employers.

“The majority of that tax is paid by larger businesses,” Delay said. “So the benefit of the tax cut is essentially going to go to the large businesses in New Hampshire, not really the small businesses.”

This could have a positive impact on job creation, Delay says, but businesses with a national or international scale are likely to

consider many other factors before hiring more people than the tax rate of a single state.

And While the Tax Foundation gave New Hampshire a low score for its corporate taxes, the state scored highly for its whole tax structure. The Tax Foundation listed New Hampshire among the top 10 states (7th place) for overall business tax climate in its latest annual index, which looks at other factors like income and sales taxes. Massachusetts was ranked 24th.

Bradley says that while the tax cuts alone may not make the difference, judging their effectiveness at attracting businesses must be done in tandem with recent and ongoing efforts to reform workers compensation, healthcare and electricity prices.

The big if

The tax cuts were included in the final budget that was signed into law, which has a couple differences from the vetoed budget. Essentially, the timetable has been accelerated for the first set of cuts, but the second round for the 2018 to 2019 biennium was made conditional.

“The compromise that they settled on was to create a trigger,” Delay said.

He said if the general fund revenues for the current biennium come in under $4.64 billion, the second round of cuts won’t happen. If the revenue is short of the trigger amount, the rates for the BPT and the BET will remain at 8.2 and .72 respectively. Otherwise, it will lower to 7.9 and .675.

Whether the state is able to reach the threshold is an open question.

Delay thinks the trigger number was optimistic, but Bradley says it’s attainable.

To put it in perspective, the revenue projection the legislature agreed upon when they wrote the original budget was $4.609 billion. So Republicans are betting revenues will be about $38 million higher than projected when you factor in the bigger first-round tax cuts, according to Delay.

A look at advocacy groups in NH

NH Rebellion Who they are: NH Rebellion was founded in 2014

by Harvard professor Lawrence “Larry” Lessig with an inaugural walk across New Hampshire in January 2014.

The walks are inspired by Doris “Granny D” Haddock, the New Hampshire-based octogenarian activist who walked across the country between 1999 and 2000 for campaign finance reform. NH Rebellion is part of Open Democracy, based in Manchester.

What they want: The group is advocating for sweeping reforms meant to curb the influence of big money in politics.

Current goal: Ultimately, they want to use the New Hampshire primary to make campaign finance reform a major issue in the election at large.

VIPs: Larry Lessig is a popular advocate for campaign finance reform and now a Democratic presidential candidate. Daniel Weeks is the executive director of NH Rebellion and Open Democracy. Board members include former New Hampshire Chief Justice John Broderick, former Republican candidate for governor Andrew Hemingway and businessman and former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jim Rubens.

Find them at: 66 Hanover St., Suite 101, Manchester, email is info@nhrebellion. org, websites are nhrebellion.org and questionr.us and phone number is 272-6117.

More on NH Rebellion: Daniel Weeks, the group’s leader, says their efforts to ask every presidential candidate for the reforms they would advance seem to be making an impact.

“At the beginning of the election season, none of the candidates expect maybe one, Bernie Sanders, … were talking about this voluntarily,” Weeks said. “After now

getting out in front of every one of the candidates multiple times ... every candidate has said publicly this is a major problem for America, and a majority of the candidates have given us solutions.”

Weeks says the group is also unveiling a new pledge for residents and candidates to sign, committing them to advance a prescribed list of reforms, like mandating donor transparency, overturning the 2010 Supreme Court Citizens United ruling, banning the trading of campaign contributions for government contracts and creating a tax incentive system for small citizen donations.

Weeks says South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is the only national Republican to call for a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United.

According to a Bloomberg poll taken last month, 78 percent of Americans want Citizens United overturned. That sentiment was shared across party lines. Among Republicans, 80 percent responded against the ruling, just as 83 percent of Democrats agreed.

Do you think preschool is finally getting its due recognition?

Well, I hope [preschool] starts having more of a moment and getting a little bit more recognition. ... I know for me and a lot of the other preschool teachers, it’s been satisfying and makes us feel really good as a group that we’re getting some recognition for our kids, because they definitely deserve that.

school is really big because kids that don’t go to preschool, then they’re home maybe until they’re 5 years old, then it’s like, ‘Now, I have to Ashley Preston. Courtesy photo. go sit in a desk all day? I don’t really want to do that.’ ... Then we can work on their vocabulary skills, we can work on their basic literacy skills like letter recognition, writing their names, you can do that early math stuff, counting, shapes, patterns, size.

All those foundational skills that kids are not entering kindergarten with and that’s just creating struggles further down the line because they’re starting kindergarten unprepared.

Are you sometimes in a position of having to defend preschool?

Absolutely. A lot of time. I think a lot of people don’t understand preschool. They don’t understand what it’s all about, really.

For some people, I think it’s just not knowing. … They look at it like we’re babysitters and we’re just kind of playing with the kids all day while their parents are at work. We definitely are playing with the kids all day, but what we’re doing is learning and we’re What’s your favorite part of the day? teaching them. That’s how they’re not only I like when I just feel like I’m really in the learning social skills but they’re learning how moment with [the kids], even when it’s just to learn, how to be a good student and those doing a project or if it’s having a dance party. basic, early academic skills. … It all just depends on the moment.

What do you do differently in the classroom?

I just feel like, getting down to their level, making things fun, taking into consideration what they like and going with that [can] make learning a good time. ... We do yoga. ... We have dance parties. We do a lot of nontraditional preschool activities. We build with cups, we have scavenger hunts. … I like to have a good time with them because they like to come here and they want to learn from me.

What inspired you to become a teacher?

I didn’t really set out to become a teacher.

I was supposed to go to law school, and then I decided that I wanted to take a year off after college ... because I knew that law school was going to be an intense experience. I ended up getting a job as a paraprofessional at a local elementary school and I just really loved it and decided that that’s what I wanted to do.

What did you like about school as a kid?

What’s most important for preschoolI loved reading. I loved anything that had aged kids to learn? to do with reading when I was a kid. And just I think [creating] that love of learning at learning. I liked to learn and I like to learn a young age and that desire to want to be at now as a teacher.— Ryan Lessard

For the first time since the Great Recession (nearly eight years), New Hampshire residents are calling something other than jobs and the economy their No. 1 concern. In the most recent WMUR Granite State poll, 25 percent of respondents in the state called drug abuse the most important problem facing the state, bumping jobs and the economy to second place with 21 percent. Education, health care and taxes were the next three concerns, each with single-digit percentages. Just under half of those polled said they know someone who has abused heroin in the last five years, while 60 percent of those under the age of 35 said the same.

QOL Score: -2 Comment: Drugs have ranked between zero and 1 percent for most of the past 14 years. The issue climbed to the top spot over the course of the past year.

Winter heating bills could be lower

Thanks to lower energy prices, most U.S. households are expected to pay less for heat this winter, the AP reported. In its annual prediction, the U.S. Department of Energy says energy costs this winter should be lower than the last two winters. Residents in the Northeast are traditionally more reliant on heating oil, which, along with propane, is expected to be where most of the savings will be. Homes that use heating oil are projected to pay $459 less than last winter while propane-heated households will pay $322 less than last winter.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Heating oil prices are at a 10-year low, according to the most recent data.

Where’s the fluoridated drinking water?

Most New Hampshirites aren’t getting stronger teeth from the state’s drinking water. This really happens in other states, according to a survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — New Hampshire ranks 43rd in the country for access to fluoride in public drinking water.

Montana, Alaska, Idaho and Wyoming were among the few states with lower percentages, as reported by NHPR. About 390,000 New Hampshire residents — less than half the 834,000 on public water systems — have access to it, and communities that have received a Water Fluoridation Quality Award include Concord, Dover, Laconia, Lebanon and Manchester.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: According to Dr. Peter Welnak, president of the New Hampshire Dental Society, research shows optimally fluoridated drinking water is a safe and simple way to help prevent cavities, keep tooth enamel strong and protect against tooth decay.

Deflate-gate II headed your way Sunday night

926 Elm St • Manchester | 625-8442 www.PearsonsJewelry.com 103425

So the football game we’ve all been waiting for since Deflate-gate took flight in January has finally arrived.

It will happen in prime time on Sunday when your New England Patriots are in Indianapolis to face the team they were playing on the night the overblown controversy all started. That should lead to another avalanche of stories, regurgitation and of course pontification from the media as anticipation builds for what will be the young season’s marquee game.

But even with the buzz, don’t mistake this for a rivalry game, which it once was. What made it so was the annual Tom Brady-Peyton Manning showdown, not anything special in Indy. It stopped being so the second Manning was shown the door by ungrateful owner Jim Irsay and immediately transferred to Denver when he landed there.

That’s opposed to say, the Jets, which has been a game circled on the schedule since long before Bill Parcells started the border war, right through the regimes of Herm Edwards, Eric Mangini, Rex Ryan and now Todd Bowles — though I’ll admit it was heightened when Tuna and Rex were leading them into Foxboro. It’s about geography, history, trash talking, and I resign as HC of the NYJ. Even now, NFL employee Jim Kensil, the alleged leaker of mis-information to Chris Mortensen that started the furor, is a Jets alum whose father was once president of you know who. Ditto for the Ravens, who may have employed more societal dregs than any team since the Raiders were the RAIDERS. But they’re tough in big games, make you pay when they lose and have handed the Pats their share of big losses.

Besides, how can it be a rivalry when one team dominates the other as the Pats have each time they’ve faced Indy since

Chuck Pagano and Andrew Luck came to town? Losing scores of 43-22, 42-20 and 45-7 don’t exactly suggest being a tough out, especially with the weakling Colt D allowed 655 rushing yards and 13 rushing TDs. And Luck hasn’t exactly had much of that either as he’s completed an abysmal 48.6 percent of his passes with 4 TDs and 7 interceptions. Not exactly the kind of big game performance generally associated with being the “superstar” whiny Indianapolis Star columnist Gregg Doyel called him in August. Even with Manning in the equation the Patriots have won 14 of 20 in the Belichick era, won all six this decade, and hold a 50-29 overall edge.

No, in the minds of Patriots Nation this game is just about payback — to wimpy Indy GM Ryan Grigson, who tattled to the teacher on the Pats, and their sleazy owner, who wanted the Pats to pay, presumably for breaking the rules. Of course cheating would also make it easier to explain all those bad losses to a hated opponent, wouldn’t it?

It’s also geared toward the expanding vigilant response to the controversy by Roger the Dodger and NFL brass and, of course, the haters, like my New York Giants-loving brother Jamie, who loudly went off in a phone rant last week about “Belichick getting caught cheating three times by the NFL.” When I said, What are they?, he said “that video thing, and I can’t remember the others.” Oh, I get it.

Those are the people in the crosshairs for this one.

If he felt the balls weren’t up to code I don’t know that I blame Grigson. As I’ve said many times before, cheating is cheating and if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime. Though his version of reporting it earlier in the week is different from how the league said it happened, informed midway through the second quarter. But I don’t think I’d have done it that way, and I can’t see someone like Tom Coughlin or Coach B doing it that way either. I’d probably say

in advance, this is info we’ve been given and I’m sending it on to the league. I do have a problem with the Ravens denying they had anything to do with ratting out the Pats right up until their e-mails to the Colts turned up in the NFL’s investigation. Hence Jonathan Kraft calling the Ravens’ John Harbaugh a “sweetheart” on the radio pregame show a few weeks back.

But all that is fan stuff. And while it may conjure similar feeling among the players and Coach B, they’ll never admit it. For them, it is about moving on to Cincinnati.

So the Patriots come into this one undefeated, but after not playing all that well while beating Dallas 30-6 on Sunday following their bye week. They had protection problems, and when a team is missing their QB, top runner and best receiver things should be easy. So I’ll call it workmanlike.

The Colts, meanwhile, have been in turmoil amid reports that Pagano’s on shaky ground in the final year of his contract despite two straight playoff appearances, because he and Grigson don’t get along.

Though after two dismal losses they’ve resurrected things with two lucky wins and a third over overrated Houston. Interestingly the last two came with ancient Matt Hasselbeck at QB, not the injured Luck, who’s lost a little luster off the halo in those bad losses. Although sooner or later, he has to play better against the Pats, doesn’t he?

That sets the stage for a game where haters throughout the nation want the Patriots to get stomped and Patriots Nation wants Coach B to channel his inner Otto Graham to rub salt in the wound right up to the final seconds of a blowout win.

All of which will most likely lead to gigantic TV ratings. Which is why I’ve said all along that despite all the hand-wringing over the “damage” Deflate-gate did to the NFL, it’s actually been great for business by amping up the drama for this game and the ones to follow anytime the Pats come to town.

Pinkerton & Bedford go down Big Story: So much for the winning streaks of the two top-rated football teams in the state as both went down in a major upset weekend. Pinkerton Academy’s 17-game winning streak dating back to 2013 came to an end in a 17-7 loss to Winnacunnet on Friday night. A day later, Goffstown knocked Bedford from the ranks of the undefeated with a 27-21 win that would get the approval of the head man in Foxboro. It would be that way as Coach B once was a special teams coach and repeatedly emphasizes the importance of special teams play, and the last two scores in G-town’s big 27-21 win over B-town came on a 78-yard Frankie Castillo Diaz kick return and when Ian Routhier took the loose ball off a Connor Bourque-blocked punt 12 yards for the game-winning score.

Who doesn’t love pizza? Not many people in New Hampshire, apparently — it’s the state with the most pizza joints per capita. The Hippo talked to local pizza pros about why they think the state might have that distinction, what it’s like

having so much competition and what makes each place unique. There are different styles (New York and Greek and Chicago, for starters) crazy toppings and sauces (think lettuce, ground beef and Thousand Island dressing) and various ways to cook ‘em up (grill, brick oven, or even toaster oven if you’re making your own). Whatever your pizza pleasure, New Hampshire has a slice for you.

Why New Hampshire has the most pizza places per capita

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

New Hampshire has a lot of pizza places.

So many, in fact, that it has the distinction of having the most pizza places per capita in the country.

“We do have one on almost every corner, for godsakes,” Pappy’s Pizza co-owner Kasha St. Jean said.

For more than 30 years, Pappy’s has served downtown Manchester. St. Jean can remember when Pizza by Charles was virtually the only pizza place in the city, back about 60 years ago. Now, Sean Morgan, the general manager of Pizza 911, counts about 70 in Manchester alone.

So why do we have so many?

HIPPO | OCTOBER 15 - 21, 2015 | PAGE 12

The numbers

Granite Staters love their pizza, and they particularly like their pizza from momand-pop operations.

According to PMQ Magazine’s 2014 Pizza Power industry report, New Hampshire had 512 pizza places, which is 3.87 pizza joints per 10,000 people in the state.

That number has held steady since the 2013 report. It was as high as 4.09 in 2012 (with 539 stores).

Massachusetts was in second place at the time with 3.77 pizza places per 10,000 people. The Bay State has since declined to sixth place. Iowa held second place the past two years with 3.60 in 2014 and 3.64 in 2013.

New Hampshire, like most of the states with above average pizza places per capita, favors the independents. The state

Independents reign supreme Most New Hampshire pizza places (over 80 %) have fewer than 10 locations.

has the sixth highest percentage of independent over chain restaurants with 82 percent, which ticked up slightly over the year before.

Most of the independent-favoring states are located in the Northeast. All of the New England states plus New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio are in the top 10. Those same states are in the top 15 for most pizza places per capita, plus a few northern midwestern states.

Why pizza?

Source: PMQ Magazine’s2015 Pizza Power industry report.

The science and the stats point to one incontrovertible truth: Humans in America like to eat pizza, particularly in the north.

So, as New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association President Mike Somers suggests, part of this is probably just cultural.

According to PMQ, pizza sales nationwide amounted to more than $37 billion, which is a little more than half a million per restaurant, on average.

But Morgan is aware pizza places and restaurants have a high failure rate.

Kasha St. Jean at Pappy’s has seen a lot of places come and go over the past three decades.

“It’s a lot of work, and they all think they’re going to be rich from it,” St. Jean said.

Morgan says the recipe for a successa ful pizza Pizz 015 2 s ’ e place, n i gaz t.

Ma r especially in a MQ y repo P : r e t c s r u market as saturated as Sou er ind Pow New Hampshire’s, is having something that makes you different, good quality food, low prices and good service.

For St. Jean, there’s another downfall owners often fall into: they change their recipes, sometimes to skimp on ingredients.

“We’ve never changed anything. We’ve always kept it the same and that makes a huge difference,” St. Jean said.

Not only has her family-owned restaurant kept its recipes the same since it opened in the early 1980s, its pizza recipe is actually the same old recipe that Pizza by Charles used back in the 1950s.

W

“We all seem to like pizza. Good, bad or indifferent, pizza is still pretty good,” Somers said.

The cost to open a pizza joint probably helps keep numbers up too.

“If you were to open a full-service restaurant, it would be rather expensive to [put in] tables, chairs, the whole bit. Where, you can probably open a pizza joint for a relatively low point of entry, all things being relative,” Somers said.

Morgan said Pizza 911 opened its second location just four years after opening the first.

“It’s definitely pretty cheap. I actually thought about doing it last year, but I couldn’t pull it together,” Morgan said.

“With about $50,000, usually, you can get in [business].”

Plus, Morgan added, even though pizza places often sell steak and cheese subs and other sandwiches, pizza is the main breadwinner.

“It’s a 10 percent profit from pizza, right there. You can start a restaurant and make something out of it. You can franchise it out if it’s great,” Morgan said.

At-home pizza making ideas

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Whether you’ve got an oven, grill, pan, toaster oven or electric pizza stone (yes, they do exist, and local foodie Susan McLean says they’re awesome), you can make your own pizza just the way you like it.

The Hippo talked with local food bloggers McLean (laptop2tabletop.com) and Andrew Toland (pizzanh.com) for ideas about how to be creative, fun or fancy with your at-home pizza making. The good news: It’s kind of hard to completely screw up.

Crust, sauce and cheese

Your pizza’s flavor starts with your bases, and if you want yours to be restaurant quality, Toland suggests going to your favorite pizzeria for advice. Toland, who started a pizza review blog with his wife Deidre Ashe in 2010, is constantly talking with their favorite neighborhood joint, Tano’s Pizzeria in Manchester, for tips and

gluten flour — and handed it to Toland to try out.

Toland also likes dough from the Portland Pie Company, which he said you can get at most grocery stores, and for cheese, he prefers straight mozzarella, shredded or sliced himself, over packages labeled “pizza cheese.”

“I’ve noticed other kinds of cheese don’t melt very well, or maybe they don’t melt consistently. And a lot of times with pizza cheese, the cheese melts very greasy,” Toland said via phone.

Of course, it all has to do with your own tastes; the best thing to do is practice and experiment with different ingredients, combinations and proportions.

“I’m still searching for a sauce recipe I like,” Toland said. “And I’ve bought every kind of sauce under the sun. But I still haven’t found one I like better than my favorite pizza place’s.”

If you’re concerned about gluten or want to forego dough all together, McLean said she’s made a mean wheat-free dough from cauliflower (though you can also do this with zucchini). She squeezes out the moisture with the help of a grater or food processor, cheesecloth, colander and paper towel, then binds it with ingredients like eggs and grated Parmesan cheese. It tastes best fresh — the vegetables get soggy if it sits too long.

When in doubt, look online, search YouTube. Toland’s personal favorite resource is thepizzabible.com, an online community of pizza makers (and the official site for Tony Gemignani’s book, The Pizza Bible). If you’re in a real bind and don’t feel like dealing with dough, Toland said pizza can still taste good with alreadymade crust, in which case you only need to worry about toppings.

Toppings

These can make or break a pizza.

“Don’t overload it with toppings. You want to taste all the ingredients, but it

doesn’t need to be overwhelming, with 10 different things. You want to see the crust, and you want to taste the crust,” McLean said.

Most things will taste OK on pizza, but just as with any cooking recipe, you should have an idea in your head of what you want to taste. Think less mushy, more crunchy.

“You do want something to provide a little texture — fresh broccoli on pizza is delicious. It gives it a little crunch without being too soggy,” McLean said.

In the oven

If you want your pizza to resemble that from a restaurant, Toland advises investing in a pizza stone — though maybe don’t invite guests over the first time you use it.

“The first pizza I made on a pizza stone was a complete disaster. It got stuck to the pizza peel and flipped over on itself, sauce side down,” Toland said.

And so, his tip for beginners: If you’re going to get the stone, get the pizza peel and use cornmeal to prevent stickage.

Also, make sure the pizza stone is heated up well — and follow the directions.

Toland said he’s noticed pizza steel trending — it’s more conductive of heat and can, obviously, get much hotter than a stone.

If you use a cookie sheet or pan, McLean said she uses parchment paper for easy removal. Hotter is better.

“If you can get your oven to 450 degrees, you can get a nice, crispy crust, and that can prevent the center from becoming too soggy,” she said.

On the grill

Cooking on the grill gives pizza that charred or smoky taste.

Toland uses an outdoor pizza oven (called Uuni, created with the help of a Kickstarter campaign, which cooks pizza super fast and heats up to 840 degrees, according to the website), on which he

likes to make a classic margherita pizza.

“We’ve tried barbecue chicken pizzas [on the grill] … and for whatever reason, it doesn’t pop the same way,” Toland said.

“The best way on the grill, we found, is to just make little flatbreads, like the kind you would get at any restaurant. Make a strip of dough, put it on the grill, cook it halfway — then take it off, put toppings on and grill the rest of the way.”

If you’re short of fancy grill gadgets, McLean said you can do just fine with a grill-top pizza pan that allows air to come through without sticking to grates. She’s even put pizza right on the grill itself, though very carefully and after excess olive oil spray. If you’re wary, this may be a good time to pull out the alreadycooked crust, which will ensure there’s no seepage.

Other ways to get your fix

Traditionally it’s Greek pizza that’s made in the oven, but you can make your own that way if you’re wary of grilling and pizza stone doodads, or even if you’re in a pinch. McLean makes her own Mexican pizza in a pan using tortilla bread as a base, salsa as sauce and taco ingredients as toppings, or just whatever’s left in the fridge: grilled chicken, pulled pork, beans, cheese, jalapeno peppers, guac, sour cream, etc.

“It’s really quick. I take the torti-

Made from scratch in house...give it a try! lla, spray the pan with Pam, put it on the stovetop, and when it gets warm and crispy, I put the ingredients on top,” McLean said.

Then there’s the trusty old English muffin pizza, which is especially fun for kids.

“That way, you can get the kids involved, scooping out the ready-made sauce and putting on sliced pepperonis and any other toppings and cheese before baking it in the oven,” McLean said. (Or, if you prefer, toaster oven.)

Other ideas, courtesy of McLean: use a half pita and give your pizza an Indian feel with curried vegetables and Thai peanut sauce. Or, on the sweeter side, go for dessert pizza; she once made one with brownie batter crust, fresh fruit and drizzled chocolate on top. Other favorite dessert pizza toppings include pumpkin, honey, maple syrup, peanut butter, hazelnut spread, cinnamon, brown sugar, pecans, chocolate, whipped cream, marshmallows.

It’s all about research, trial and error.

“Pizza is a great comfort food. It’s easy to eat, and again, because it’s so versatile — you can have so many different bases with so many different combinations of toppings,” McLean said.

McLean’s newest pizza toy is the Breville Crispy Crust Maker, which looks like a fat waffle maker from the outside and cooks pizzas in three minutes.

It’s not cheap and is kind of hard to store because it’s big, but in McLean’s opinion, it’s worth it, enabling better temperature control than her at-home oven. Its speed also means her family can make their own individual pies with little time and effort.

“It gives fast food a new name,” she said. “We do a make-your-own pizza night at home. I prep the pizza dough, lay it on the parchment paper — people get their own toppings, and boom. It’s done.”

They may all have sauce, cheese, toppings and a crust, but that doesn’t mean all pizzas are created equal. Depending on who you ask, there anywhere from four to 15 or more styles of pizza represented across the country.

“I think there [are] probably New York style, Chicago deep dish, Sicilian is definitely another style of pizza, and then there’s Greek and then there's more traditional Italian pizza,” Jimmy Hartwyk, owner of Skinny's Pizzeria in Manchester, said in a phone interview.

Though he thinks most pizza roots can be followed back to one of the core group of styles, he said certain regions shine through with specialties like California style pizzas, which tend to feature very unique toppings (think sushi or goat cheese and bean sprouts).

“Down south they probably have more savory meats and barbecue-type pizzas and things of that nature,” he said. “Out west you know there are a little more unconventional [styles].”

Priscilla Lane-Rondeau, owner of 900 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria with locations in Manchester and Epping, said that often the style of pizza one was brought up eating is what one tends toward, which is how regional options create such a stronghold.

“We have a lot of Greek style pizza in this area,” she said in a phone interview. “In Connecticut they have more Italian, coal-fired … but it does seem like there's different regions that have a very specific type of pizza.”

Covering the components

While sauce, cheese and toppings play a big role in differentiating the styles of pizza, if Lane-Rondeau had to pick the defining factor, she’d go with crust.

“It has a lot to do with the crust, the flour, the dough,” she said. “I think there are three components, the dough, the sauce and the cheese. The ingredients are the topping on the cake, but if you’ve got those three components you can make a good pizza.”

Hartwyk learned the art of pizza making in a New York style pizzeria, and continues that “concentration” of foldable, thin crust pizza slices at Skinny’s. He explained that New York style pizza is cooked right on the brick in the oven.

“We keep our bricks at about 550 to 600 degrees and when we put the pizza in it comes right off the wooden peel and it goes right onto the brick,” he said.

A style popular in New Hampshire is Greek style, which Hartwyk said stands apart due to two main factors — it’s cooked in a pan and uses a cheese blend with a good amount of cheddar.

Using an oiled, shallow pan means the thicker crust is on the chewy side and it

tends to be an oily pizza. This is not to be confused with Chicago deep dish pizza, which is cooked in a deeper pan.

Neapolitan pizzas made at 900 Degrees mimic those found in Europe, with clean flour, tomatoes, mozzarella and a thinner crust cooked in a wood-fired oven. “[It’s] very, very thin, cooked at a super high temperature and that's more … traditional pizza like if you went to Italy you'd get something closer to that,” Hartwyk said.

“Now you might add different types of cheese for some of our other pizzas,” Lane-Rondeau said. “But your basic Neapolitan pizza is the margherita,” she said.

And don’t forget that style of pizza and type of pizza are not interchangeable terms — you can get a Greek New York style pizza with feta cheese, olives, onions, tomatoes and bell pepper that’s still cooked in a brick oven with a nice, thin crust.

If your cheese-and-pepperoni routine has you feeling uninspired, check out these quirky speciality pizzas offered at local pizza shops. From unconventional sauces like alfredo or bourbon barbecue to overloaded toppings and pizza-fied versions of other foods, there’s a crazy pizza for every taste.

Getting saucy

The sauce sets the tone for the whole pizza, and while tomato-based sauce is the most popular and generally compatible, there are countless creative alternatives.

Seafood pizzas will often make use of nontomato sauces — for example, the Shrimp Porto Fino from C.C. Tomatoes (Concord), made with lemon pepper cream sauce, or the Bar Harbor from Portland Pie (New Hampshire locations in Manchester and Nashua), which pairs a Pernod alfredo sauce with scallops, bacon and cheese.

Salad dressings are a common alternative to tomato sauce, especially ranch. Look at Foodee’s (Milford) Southwestern “38” Special, made with ranch dressing, sliced tomato, provolone cheese and bacon; Constantly Pizza’s (Concord and Penacook) chicken ranch club pizza with crispy chicken, bacon, tomatoes and ranch dressing; and The Franchise from Pizza 911 (Manchester and Goffstown), loaded with breaded chicken tenders, bacon, cheddar cheese and broccoli on a ranch dressing base.

“We play around with different toppings

Go big or go home

An appropriate balance of toppings and flavors is a desired quality in traditional pizzas, but these extreme pizzas are taking a different route. Go all out with Pizza 911’s Onion Lovers, stacked with nothing but Spanish onions, red onions and scallions. For mushroom fans, there’s Portland Pie’s Bradbury Mountain, topped with portobello, crimini and button mushrooms.

When it comes to meat, Pizza Mia doesn’t hold back; their meat-lover’s pizza, known as The Heart Stopper, has pepperoni, hamburger, sausage, ham, bacon and extra cheese.

Be sure you’re up for the challenge with these extreme spicy pizzas. The Five Alarm Blaze from Pizza 911 has hot sausage, bacon, jalapenos and crushed red pepper flakes. Foodee’s owner John Bowen said Foodee’s spicy pizza, The Sizzler, is not for the faint of heart.

“The one a lot of people think, ‘No, thank you’ is probably The Sizzler,” he said. “It’s about the hottest pizza around.

With jalapenos, crushed red pepper and hot sausage it’s hard to eat a couple slices without a tear coming to your eye.”

There’s a pizza for that

These pizza shops are proving that you can turn almost anything into a pizza. Head

to New England’s Tap House Grille (Hooksett) for its chicken alfredo pizza, made with chicken, bacon, broccoli and alfredo sauce, or the barbecue pulled pork pizza, made with their signature bourbon barbecue sauce and garnished with green onions.

Enjoy two Italian favorites in one with the sausage lasagna pizza from C.C. Tomatoes, which has Italian sausage, ricotta cheese, tomato sauce and mozzarella. In the mood for seafood? Go for Pizza Mia’s shrimp scampi, which has shrimp, garlic, olive oil, butter, capers and Asiago cheese. Constantly Pizza has a long menu of entrees-turned-pizza, including the eggplant parm, chicken caesar, steak bomb, chicken cordon bleu and pastrami bomb.

Skip the Big Mac and get Pizza 911’s imitator pizza the Big Mic instead: meatball pieces, onions, lettuce and pickles on a Thousand Island base. They also have a chicken parmesan, BLT and the mac-andcheese-inspired Junior Cadet.

“People sometimes think it’s a kids’ meal, but it’s actually just pizza with mac and cheese bites and french fries,” Stone said. “It was inspired by food that firemen and EMTs might want at a late night shift. I would say it’s one of our most popular nontraditional pizzas.”

Craving Mexican food? Foodee’s has you covered with their taco pizza, comprised of taco beef baked with cheese on top of tomato sauce, garnished with onions, lettuce, tomatoes and tortilla chips with salsa and sour cream on the side; or their K-CD-AAAH pizza made with refried beans, nacho cheese, salsa, taco beef and jalapenos. But the Foodee’s pizza that gets the most funny looks, Bowen said, is the Reuben pizza, made with rye crust and Reuben sauce, topped with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and sliced dills.

“People consider that the craziest,” he said. “They say, ‘A Reuben pizza? What?’

And we put it on the rye crust so everything about it is just as if you were buying the sandwich.”

and sauces and just try out random things,” Cameron Stone, Pizza 911 manager, said.

“We’ll use ranch or barbecue or Thousand Island for bases. There’s really no limit with pizza.”

If you’re looking for something with a bit more kick, try Pizza Mia’s (Bedford) Thai chicken pizza, composed of a spicy peanut sauce and topped with mushrooms, red peppers and pepper jack and Asiago cheese. For an Asian-inspired pizza, go for Foodee’s General Gao’s, made with spicy plum sauce, chicken, red peppers, cheese and sesame seeds.

ARTS Parrish popularity

Latest Currier show analyzes his fame ksennott@hippopress.com

More than 30,000 people attended the Currier Museum of Art’s 1999 exhibition “Maxfield Parrish: 1870-1966.” It was a record number, met only by last fall’s “M.C. Escher: Reality and Illusion,” and this was before the museum’s 2006 expansion. CEO Susan Strickler remembers lines trailing out the door that winter. Staff took turns standing outside with visitors.

“One of the staff members had been trained in Disney World about ‘fun meisters’ — talking to people outside, making sure [they know] we know they’re here, and keeping them in good cheer,” Strickler said.

Fifteen years later, the Currier decided to go back to Parrish, a long-time Plainfield, New Hampshire, resident, for the museum’s most recent exhibition, “Maxfield Parrish: The Power of the Print,” on view now through Jan. 10.

Unlike the 1999 retrospective show that coated the entire museum, this one decorates just one room and narrows in on why Parrish was so popular, within the state and worldwide.

“They did a survey in the ‘30s. He was the most-produced American artist, and the third most-produced artist in the world behind van Gogh and Cezanne. Which is pretty impressive,” Samantha Cataldo, Currier assistant curator who organized the show, said during a pre-opening gallery walk-through.

“Parrish was a great artist. That’s undeniable. And he was expert in the execution of his paintings and illustrations,” Cataldo said. “He was sort of a wonder kid. … He audited classes with [famous illustrator] Howard Pyle, and Pyle allegedly said, ‘I can’t teach you anything here. Just go out and be an artist.’”

One major reason for his popularity, as viewers will see walking through the exhibi-

tion, is print.

“He emerged to prominence at a time when color lithography was an emerging technology, and he really embraced that,” Cataldo said.

His career started in his mid-20s, when he began illustrating covers for magazines like Harper’s, Life and Time. It was the start of the golden age of American illustration, and Parrish wasted no opportunity to have art plastered on greeting cards, playing cards, posters and advertisements. When he designed a calendar on behalf of the Edison Mazda Lamp division of General Electric, about 20 million calendars were produced between 1917 and 1932, with an estimated 7 billion advertising messages delivered, according to GE. Candy manufacturer Clarence Crane also commissioned the artist to create a painting for the company’s chocolate boxes, with large print order forms placed inside. In a year, Parrish’s royalties exceeded $50,000 when the average yearly income was less than $2,000.

When “Daybreak” came out in 1922, it was an estimated 1 in 4 Americans had some version of it. The cobalt blue he used so much in his work is often called “Parrish blue.”

The exhibition contains about 75 pieces, with three paintings, the rest print, which come from Currier, Hood Museum of Art and private collections.

Cataldo said Parrish was popular because of his style — it was incredibly realistic but with fantastical and idyllic landscapes, like real life only better. Plus, he lived to age 96, and thus had time to get really good at it.

Of course, New Hampshirites likely most appreciate Parrish’s use of New Hampshire scenery, even if they were not exact depictions, but rather, landscape composites.

“We think that our visitors who saw the retrospective exhibition 15 years ago will enjoy returning to see more and learn more about Parrish, and we hope to introduce Parrish to a new generation as well,” Cataldo said.

ARTS Susan Strickler retires The Currier Museum of Art director and CEO announced recently that she’ll retire in June 2016. Her tenure as director will be the longest in the Currier’s 86-year history. She talked with the Hippo about closing in on her 20-year reign.

Two decades strong: I’ve been here 20 years. I remember when I was first hired, Kim Zachos [board president], who was a great mentor at the time, said ‘Oh, you know, we like having directors around for like 10 years.’ But then [when 10 years arrived], he was encouraging me to stay on longer. We were in the process of thinking about the expansion. …

At that point, we all wanted to make sure the whole team would be together because it’s quite an undertaking. … One reason I was so attracted to stay here for 20 years is because when we did the addition, we had a new museum with new challenges.

Taking the job: I had thought long and hard whether I wanted to be a museum director. Because it becomes very much a lifestyle. … I had been a curator for a good 20 years. I’d had some administrative experience in various museums. … I went away to school for arts administration. I came back and said, I’m going to give it a shot. … When I saw this museum, I thought this was the right place. And I never looked back.

Museum potential: I like the nimbleness here. You can get things done. And in this state, I don’t think I realized the impact a single institution can have. … I saw there was a tremendous upside potential. … First of all, we had a wonderful collection. The building that existed was really solid, and the Frank Lloyd Wright House was a tremendous asset. The school was great, and we were on the cusp of buying the former Pearl Manor [where the art school resides now].

Why expansion worked: A dedicated board of trustees. A terrific staff. I can’t say how disruptive closing a museum for 20 months is, but they were all excited about the other side of the expansion. But it’s the dedication and the donors who came through for us. … Whenever you undertake something like that, you can’t underestimate how many contribute.

Community outreach: There are things I have found really gratifying. … Trying to make [the museum] more a place for discussion about community issues. … Museums have been chal-

lenged across the world to become stronger, more creative community art places. … We’ve always talked about, what audience will this appeal to? … We’ve investigated more deeply 698 Beech Street Manchester NH 03104 the communities within New Hampshire, Greater Manchester [and] New England. … Some of that has become more apparent in the program698 Beech Street Manchester NH 03104 ming at the art center.

always an issue. But I just said no. We have to spend the money to make Shrek look like Shrek. … We’re still working on Pinocchio’s growing nose.”

The company has saved money by borrowing sets and costumes from the Rochester Opera House and digging through props and costumes from the Community Players of Concord. Dragon will be performed by Katharine Demers, who will wear a Maleficent-like costume and stand at the head of a 20-foot dragon piece that requires eight kids to maneuver, courtesy of the St. Paul’s School’s Nutcracker production.

There was high demand for this show among participants, Braz said, with nearly 80 at auditions. She thinks adults especially like Shrek for the storyline.

“It’s the message of, accept yourself for who you are, and don’t feel pressure to be something you’re not,” Braz said.

Kids probably like this too, but they especially enjoy the slapstick humor.

“The kids like the song that has all the farts in it,” Braz said.

The younger kids said they enjoy the extra music and character backstories. “[The musical] tells us what happened to Fiona before she was older. And they told us about Shrek when he was younger,” said Madi Barton, 12, who plays young Fiona.

Some of the older actors have been performing with the theater group since they were very young. They were a little more familiar with the musical beforehand — Demers said she’d watched it on Netflix “a million times,” and Letendre had been in a Palace Theatre production.

They think it’s even funnier than the movie.

“I’ve been going here since I was 8 years old,” said Shannon Mullen, a junior who plays older Fiona. “[The musical] is really funny with a lot more physical comedy.”

“It’s cooler than animation because with animation you can make [characters] do anything. But we have to figure out how to do that onstage,” Demers said.

From a synthetic Shrek head and homemade Pinocchio nose to a 20-foot-long dragon costume from China, the Children’s Theatre Project is going all out for this year’s fall production, Shrek: The Musical, Jr. The show is a celebration of the theater company’s 20th anniversary, and Director Karen Braz even extended the age requirement to ensure this year’s turnout included a top-notch collection of experienced actors.

The 40-member cast, which hits the Concord Auditorium stage this weekend, ranges in age from 8 to 18.

The finished product has been a long time in the making. The original plan was to produce Shrek in 2014, but board members decided to put it off a year and make it part of the big 2015 bonanza — plus, they were spent from 2013’s Beauty and the Beast, and they didn’t want to do this musical half-heartedly.

Because it’s no small feat to do it well.

From pricy production rights and elaborate fairy tale costumes to the set requirements — the story occurs in various scenes, including a forest, the town of Duloc, Fiona’s tower and the castle — you need time, manpower and proper budgeting to make it work.

Working with kids adds another tough element. Auditions occurred at the end of the school year to give them an entire summer to get ready.

“Musicals are always a much bigger deal.

You have the added music and dance that have to go into the show,” Braz said. “It’s a lot.”

But, if a recent rehearsal at the Community Players’ Studio was any indication, cast and crew will be ready come showtime. Parents and volunteers were on site placing final paint colors on sets, and Shrek, played by Jaxon Letendre, was sitting for the first go of his full green make-up. Kids, in between eating dinner and playing outside before dark, moved seamlessly through lines, songs and dances during the night’s run-through.

“There’s an expectation people have of seeing these very iconic characters they know so well on the stage,” Braz said. “When we talked about Shrek, we thought, did we really need to get the headpiece you paint green? … We’re a community theater, and budget is

• Benedict Cumberbatch, live! Well, sort of. The Peterborough Players Theatre (55 Hadley Road, Peterborough) screens a live broadcast of Hamlet from London’s Barbican Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 15, at 2 p.m. The Shakespeare play follows a man forced to avenge his father’s death in the midst of a war, which threatens his sanity and the security of the state. In the title role is Benedict Cumberbatch, star of the BBC Sherlock series and the film The Imitation Game, for which he was nominated for an Oscar. The London production has been sold out since its August debut. Screening tickets are $20, available by calling 924-7585, visiting playerstix.com. If you miss this one, there’s an encore screening Sunday, Oct. 25, at 1 p.m., in Peterborough, and also one at The Music Hall, 28 Chestnut St., Portsmouth, the same time ($19).

• Home stretch of Beethoven sonatas: Local pianist Gregg Pauley continues his quest to perform all Beethoven’s piano sonatas in three years with a concert this Friday, Oct. 16, at 7:30 p.m., at the Concord Community Music School Recital Hall, 23 Wall St., Concord. The show, “Beethoven’s Humor,” features pieces that demonstrate the composer’s wit and sense of fun, including Rondo a capriccio, Op. 129: “Rage over a lost penny.” The program will be followed by a reception with artful chocolate courtesy of Dancing Lion Chocolate. Pauley’s Beethoven Project began in 2013 when he set out to perform the “Everest” of piano literature.

With only two more performances after this — “The Late Period” Feb. 5 and “A State of Wonder” May 6 — this concert represents the start of his final stretch.

Addiction Performance Project presents Long Day’s Journey Into Night by Eugene O’Neill this Thursday, Oct. 15, at 5:30 p.m., at the Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S. Main St., Concord, 2251111, ccanh.com. The show stars House of Cards star Maryann Plunkett and consists of dramatic readings of the play’s third act. The play describes the struggle of Mary Tyrone, a woman who abuses prescription painkillers and relapses into a full-blown morphine addiction; it’s widely believed to be an autobiographical play, as O’Neill’s own mother Ella struggled with the addiction most of her life. The participatory event is intended to break down the stigma associated with addiction and promote a healthy dialogue, according to a press release. This is a Spotlight Cafe performance; tickets are $10.

Fifteen years ago, Jim Beauchemin, a member of New Hampshire Giant Pumpkin Growers Association, was trying to figure out how he and fellow growers could get one last use out of their pumpkins instead of just throwing them away at the end of the season.

The result was the Goffstown Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off and Regatta, which this year will take place on Saturday, Oct. 17, and Sunday, Oct. 18, in the downtown area. Main events include a largest pumpkin competition, a pumpkin cook-off, a talent contest, a 10K road race and, of course, the regatta — racing giant pumpkin boats in the Piscataquog River.

“Goffstown Main Street Program was looking to create a [community event], and I came up with this idea,” Beauchemin said. “I thought of turning pumpkins into boats and racing them down the river. Well, we gave it a try, and 500 people came out that first year to see pumpkins float down a river.”

The weekend kicks off on SaturGoffstown Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off and Regatta Where: Downtown Goffstown and the Piscataquog River When: Saturday, Oct. 17, and Sunday, Oct. 18. Weigh-off is Saturday at 11 a.m.; Regatta is on Sunday at 3 p.m.

Cost: Free admission. Some activities have a fee.

day at 9 a.m. with a small parade in which the competing pumpkin growers will caravan into town with their giant pumpkins. The weigh-off will begin at 11 a.m., and there are usually at least two dozen pumpkins in the running. Last year’s winning pumpkin was from Nashua and weighed 1,313 pounds.

Stop by the town common at 1 p.m. for Goffstown’s Great Talent Competition. Geared toward kids and teens, the competition showcases young singers, dancers, jugglers and others.

Judges will rate each performance using scorecards. The contestant with the highest score will be named the winner, but in the case of a tie, it’s up to the audience to decide.

Judging for the pumpkin cook-off will begin at 2 p.m. on the town common. All submissions must include pumpkins or pumpkins seeds in some way. Winners will be named in four categories: appetizers/breads, entrees, desserts and kid-made (for contestants ages 12 and under).

“You’d have to see it. There’s things you’ve never heard of before,

but they show up,” Beauchemin said. “Pumpkin soups, pumpkin whoopie pies, pumpkin cookies, that sort of thing.”

Sunday will commence with the Goffstown Pumpkin Regatta 10K Run at 8:30 a.m., followed by the Kids Pumpkin Patch Relay at 10:15 a.m., both of which are new additions this year.

The 10K will launch in Goffstown Village, loop around Glen Lake via the Goffstown Rail Trail, then finish on Mill Street next to Village Trestle tavern, where runners can convene for a post-race party. At the pumpkin relay, kids are invited to form teams and race wagons full of pumpkins up and down the street.

Don’t miss the giant pumpkin drop at noon, when a crane will drop a 1,000-pound pumpkin from about 70 feet in the air into the town pool.

Activities will begin at the river at 2 p.m., with the 50/50 mini pumpkin race. It works exactly like a rubber duck race; for $5, you can claim a mini pumpkin, about the size of an orange, to contend in the river race.

The owner of the winning pumpkin wins half of the proceeds.

The most anticipated part of the weekend, the regatta, will begin at 3 p.m. The boat captains are delegated representatives from various groups, including the “original four” — the board of selectmen, the fire and police departments and Goffstown Main Street Program — which have had a boat every year since the first regatta in 2000. Many captains will wear costumes and decorate their boats accordingly, such as Spongebob on a Krabby Patty or a Star Wars Clone on a spacecraft.

The race will begin with the firing of a cannon. Captains must use kayak paddles to navigate around buoys and reach the finish line. The course is about 100 yards.

It’s a Goffstown Pumpkin Regatta tradition to have a surprise finale come down the river directly after the race.

“No one knows what it will be,” Beauchemin said. “We’ve had a ‘sharknado’ appearance where a bunch of kayaks decorated to look like sharks came down and circled the pumpkins. We’ve had a tug boat come down and chase the pumpkin boats around and try to tip them over. One year, we had Vikings on a Viking ship with T-shirt cannons.

We’ve seen it all.”

Other festivities that weekend include pumpkin bowling, pumpkin catapulting, a kids’ pumpkin hunt, pony rides, hot air balloon rides, a DJ, food vendors, an art show and more.

Most activities and vendors will be available on Saturday from morning until 4 p.m. and on Sunday beginning at noon.

Follow those floats Nashua parade leads to fall festival

Burning money to fuel your home?

Don’t.

Mayor Lozeau with costumed kids at last year’s event. Courtesy photo.

The second annual Gate City Fall Festival and Parade will be held in Nashua Saturday, Oct. 17, with a new float competition and a new rule — anyone marching with a political campaign is required to host a free game or activity at the festival.

That way, they “add more to the day than just a bunch of political signs,” said Carolyn Mortellaro, event coordinator.

The parade will begin at 10 a.m. at Main Street and will end at Holman Stadium for an afternoon of free family activities, a children’s costume contest, refreshments, live entertainment and more.

“It was really [Mayor Donnalee Lozeau’s] vision,” Mortellaro said. “[She thought] it would be wonderful if we had a Main Street parade where kids could dress up and have a fun fall festival. Last year there were 52 floats and 217 kids in costume who marched.”

The parade will launch from 300 Main St., proceed north to Concord Street, turn left onto Manchester Street, then left onto Sargent’s Avenue before concluding at Holman Stadium. Participants will include the fire and police departments with their vehicles, the Nashua dog park and Humane Society, dance and theater groups, Nashua and Nashua West Rotary Clubs, Fright Kingdom and many others.

Inspired by the creativity of the floats at last year’s parade, the event committee decided to add a float competition. A judge will be watching for the best float at the parade and will announce the winner at the festival. The winner will receive a $500 donation in their name for the charity of their choice, or, if the winning float belongs to a nonprofit, they will receive the prize.

At the stadium after the parade, kids partic-

ipating in the costume contest will have their own mini parade where judges will choose the winning costumes in four categories: spookiest, scariest, silliest and most creative.

“Last year, we had a Bride of Frankenstein, a [Maleficent], a girl in a dress with a red parasol shaped like a leaf, and there was the toilet [costume]. That kid was so funny,” Mortellaro said.

The festival will have live music on stage from local bands the New Englanders and the Cow Hampshire Folk as well as concession stands provided by the Nashua Silver Knights.

There will be around 30 free activities for families and kids. Enjoy fall favorites like hayrides, pumpkin-decorating, pony rides, a Ferris wheel and a petting zoo. New this year are the safari rides, which are batteryoperated safari animals for kids to ride. Try your hand at the ring toss, bean bag toss and three-legged race, or check out the carnival classics like face-painting, caricaturists, balloon animals and the photo booth. Kids can even bring their teddy bear or another stuffed animal for a checkup at the teddy bear clinic.

Now’s the time to plant bulbs

IN/OUT THE GARDENING GUY

101868

After a long winter like this past one, I am always grateful for my spring bulbs. Many of them pop up and bloom on schedule, no matter how cold and snowy the winter was. I’ve been planting bulbs around my property since the early 1970s, and some of them are still flowering each spring. Others run out of energy and disappear with time. If you haven’t done so yet, now is the time to get some and plant them.

First, let’s look at the basics: what makes a bulb plant survive and flourish? Decent soil.

It must be well drained. Soggy soil rots bulbs.

If you have a heavy clay soil, it will stay wet and is not a good place for bulbs unless you add compost to the planting hole to help it drain better. Planting on a hillside helps, too, as water will drain off a hillside.

Bulb flowers take shade better than sunloving perennials. Growing up we had hundreds of daffodils that bloomed along a woodland path behind the house. The leaves got sunshine and re-charged the bulbs before the trees were fully leafed out. Of course if you have plenty of sunshine, all the better.

Some people have had great luck planting daffodils in a grassy field or lawn. I’ve done that, but find that the bulb foliage is still green and producing food for the bulb when the lawn needs to be cut. If you cut the foliage too early, your bulbs won’t perform as well. I like to plant daffodils in flower beds between big clumps of hostas. They can bloom early, and then their dying foliage is hidden by the hosta leaves.

Some gardeners dig a little hole for each bulb, but that seems like too much work for me, even if you have one of those tools that are made for digging small round holes. I’d rather use my shovel to dig one oversized hole, one big enough for the 25 bulbs or more.

For large bulbs like daffodils or tulips a hole 24 to 36 inches long and 18 to 24 inches wide is fine for 25 bulbs.

For the big bulbs I dig a hole 6 to 8 inches deep. Then I add compost and some organic fertilizer or “bulb booster” fertilizer and stir it into the bottom of the hole. I place the bulbs on the improved soil, pointy end up, and cover with more improved soil.

What about those hungry, bulb-stealing squirrels? They don’t eat daffodils, as they are vaguely poisonous. They may dig a few up to see what you planted, but they won’t eat them. “Yech,” they say, if they inadvertently take a bite.

When I interviewed the White House gardener in 1999, he said they planted thousands of tulips each year, despite the rampant squirrels. He said they planted the tulips and covered them with soil, then put down a layer of chick-

en wire, then more soil. Oh, and he said they fed the squirrels all winter with cracked corn.

Squirrels that are not hungry are less likely to try to steal your bulbs. Squirrel welfare.

Some people have great luck with tulips coming back, but I consider them annuals. In general, I find that the second year only half the tulips come back to bloom, the third year only half of those come back and so on. But I often plant 100 tulips, all one color for a blast of color in spring. I particularly like the tall ones that bloom a bit later.

Maureen is one of my favorite tulips. She is a 28-inch-tall tulip, a creamy white that blooms in May. Menton blooms at the same time and is rose-pink with apricot-pink petal edges and is 26 inches tall. Wow. They make a nice mix. I have already ordered 100 of each!

That way I’ll have too many flowers and can give away big bunches of them when they bloom.

If you consider your tulips annuals, you can plant them in your vegetable garden and pull them after blooming. Then you can plant tomatoes or something else there. And if you have a deer problem, you can easily fence a small plot for 100 tulips with 4 poles and some bird netting. If you want to mix them into your flower gardens, plant them where you’ll plant annual flowers. When the tulips are done blooming, it will be time to plant annuals.

The little bulbs are great early harbingers of spring, particularly snowdrops. Snowdrops are small white globes on 4-inch stems. Mine fight through frozen soil in early March. Some years (when we have deep snow) I shovel snow off the hillside where they appear so they can bloom on schedule.

Each year I have more, so now, after decades, I have a thousand or more.

Other early bloomers include winter aconite, a small upward-looking six-petaled brilliant yellow flower. Another favorite of mine is glory-of-the-snow. This is a nice blue, with a yellow eye. It blooms shortly after the snowdrops in April.

I can’t praise the spring bulbs enough. I consider them essential for my well-being. So order some, or go to your garden center and buy some. You’ll be glad in a few months.

Dear Donna,

I have an item that has been in my family for as long as I can remember, going back to the 1950s. It is a brass train whistle about 7 inches tall. It says “Mfg by Kinsley Mfg Co. Bridgeport Ct.” It has what appears to be a serial number of 53663.

Anything you could tell me about this would be appreciated.

A train whistle is a signaling device used to warn people that a train is coming.The older steam whistles such as yours were used with a pull-cord or a lever. Kinsley was just one of a few manufacturers of this type of whistle.

This style of whistle seems to be earlier than the 1950s. Judging by the style, I would be more comfortable saying it’s from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. It’s tough to tell from the photo, but it should also have four air chambers (for sound).

It should be brass and the serial number you’re reading just identifies the item for the manufacturer.

Any antique train memorabilia is collectible today and usually very easy to sell to collectors, especially actual train pieces like your whistle. I’m not sure how your family came to have this, but it’s an interesting piece of history.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Get inherited car checked out the same as you would a used car Dear Car Talk: I am a recent widower.

My 22-year-old granddaughter is coming to live with me. Her dad (my son) gave her his 2004 Ford Focus. It

By Ray Magliozzi has 106,000 miles on it. He did the basics, e.g., changed the oil, bought new tires, got brakes and an alignment. It has the original plugs, and the transmission has never been serviced.

What else does this vehicle need to keep it safe and serviceable? It runs fine now. Thanks. — John Well, you don’t say if your son did all the scheduled maintenance on this car during the time he owned it. Ask him. If he did, that’s great.

In any case, the best thing to do is to take it to a mechanic you trust, and have it checked out — as if you were buying it as a used car.

If you don’t have a mechanic you like, enter your ZIP code and do a search at www.mechanicsfiles.com. That’s a

database of mechanics that other listeners and readers of ours use, trust and recommend.

Anyway, your mechanic will check all the basics — belts, hoses, water pump, brakes, steering, exhaust and suspension components. He should be able to let you know if there’s anything unsafe, or anything that needs immediate attention.

I’d also ask him to see if he can remove the spark plugs.

If they’re original, they might never have been unscrewed from the cylinder head.

And over a long time (like 106,000 miles), they can get stuck in there and basically fuse themselves in the cylinder-head threads. Then when you need to change them, you won’t be able to get them out.

That’s something I’d want a mechanic to do, because he’ll have a feel for how hard he can push on a tight or sticky plug before it’s likely to break. You don’t want to try that yourself.

If the car checks out pretty well, and the plugs are removable, then you just need to follow the maintenance schedule from here on out.

In the back of the owner’s manual, there’s a mileage schedule that tells you when to do what.

For instance, at 120,000 miles, it tells you to change the timing belt. I’d recommend that you do that now so your granddaughter doesn’t get stranded when it breaks.

Then she’ll hit you up for a ride home in the middle of the night in addition to a new timing belt.

Dear Car Talk: Please settle an argument between my housemate and I: Should you fill your tank from the side opposite the pump — i.e., stretch the pump hose across your car? I say you should not do this.

— Michael Well, to settle the first argument, it should be “my housemate and me,” Mike.

Unfortunately, you lost the second argument, too.

If the hose reaches the fuel filler neck and “seats” in there well enough to allow you to activate the fuel pump, you can pump away.

Many modern gas pumps still use a

rubber bellows around the filler nozzle that seals the filler hole and captures gasoline vapors, rather than letting them escape into the atmosphere.

Those rubber bellows are being phased out, but there are still a lot of them around.

On those pumps, if that seal is not formed, the pump won’t activate — and you’ll be standing there listening to the handle go “click, click” without pumping any gas.

But if your car is narrow enough, and you park close enough to a pump that you can reach the hose across your trunk and fit it comfortably in the filler neck, you have our blessing, and the blessing of the petroleum industrial complex, Michael.

Used cars can be a great bargain, and reliable, too! Find out why by ordering Click and Clack’s pamphlet “How to Buy a Great Used Car: Secrets Only Your Mechanic Knows.” Send $4.75 (check or money order) to Car Talk/Used Car, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

FOOD “Fall”ing for brew

Get a taste of unique autumn seasonals at local breweries

By Allie Ginwala

News from the local food scene

aginwala@hippopress.com

By Allie Ginwala

As the leaves change, so do the local beer offerings, including plenty of pumpkin ales and Oktoberfest brews. While those capture a certain taste of fall, exploring other flavor profiles can keep your palate engaged throughout the season. The Hippo spoke with three local breweries about what makes a good fall beer and how they’ve branched out with unique seasonals.

food@hippopress.com

• Local shop wins TV showdown: Manchester’s Queen City Cupcakes (790 Elm St., Manchester, qccupcakes.com) recently competed on Sugar Showdown, a new show on the Cooking Channel. After two rounds of competition against two other cupcake shops, Queen City Cupcakes came away as the winner. The episode “Alien cupcakes” aired on Oct. 1 and is now being shown On Demand.

• Showcase week continues: If you haven’t checked out Greater Merrimack Valley’s Restaurant Showcase week, there is still time to get a taste of flavorful fall menus. The sixth annual event continues until Sunday, Oct. 18, with 23 restaurants in nine different towns participating. Previously held in August, this year’s fall showcase allowed for the addition of a “battle of the butternut,” where restaurants have the opportunity to show off their creativity by incorporating butternut squash into a dish. The showcase includes a prix-fixe, two-course lunch beginning at $10.14 and a prix-fixe three-course dinner beginning at $24.15. For a list of restaurants and menus see merrimackvalley.org/ restaurant-showcase-week.

• Pounds of produce: Over 5,000 pounds of fresh produce from New Hampshire farms have been donated to the New Hampshire Food Bank in Manchester and The Friendly Kitchen in Concord, thanks to a collection effort by The New Hampshire Farm Bureau Young Farmers. According to a press release, 3,172 pounds were collected in September on top of just over 1,900 pounds in August, which provided a total of 4,200 meals. The donations are being collected in conjunction with the 42

Flat Breads

Seasonally brewed

For many beer drinkers, going from summer to fall means finding heavier beers with more body and deeper colors.

“You see a little more smoke and earth coming into the flavors,” JT Thompson, minister of propaganda for Smuttynose Brewing, said in a phone interview. “For summer beers it’s more slightly unusual ingredients like citrus or lighter fruit flavors and in the fall that’s when people dig a little bit deeper into the spice rack.”

A firm believer in the seasonality of drinking beer, Thompson said weight and flavor profile should shift as the weather gets colder More fall beer fun On Saturday, Oct. 17, Redhook Ale Brewery (35 Corporate Drive, Portsmouth) will host the 7th annual New Hampshire Brewfest, featuring 50 brewers and 150 brews.

General admission sessions will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. to make sure that the location doesn’t get too crowded, Prescott Park Administrative Assistant Linh Hua said.

A VIP session from noon to 4 p.m. will give guests a more intimate experience and time to chat with the brewers and sample select beers.

Participating breweries range from local to national with Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales, Allagash Brewing Company, Brooklyn

Manchester, greatnorthaleworks.com Great North Aleworks opened in Manchester in late August and instead of just sticking to their three year-round beers for the first months of business, North launched right into brewing seasonals.

“It’s a great opportunity to do something special in the marketplace that is more targeted for the season,” he said. “We like to keep it interesting and fresh here at the brewery and I think it’s good for not only our customers, but for the employees to have an opportunity to explore new styles and explore different things.”

Cranberry Wit is a Belgian-style wheat ale that was developed four years ago as a homebrewing project.

“My wife and a friend of hers, they occasionally get together and do a little homebrewing and they wanted to do a cranberBeer: Cranberry Wit Belgian ry beer, but a cranberry stout,” Style Wheat Ale North said.

in favor of more robust beers.

Joe Ruotolo, owner, operator and head brewer for Border Brewery, agrees.

“Any beer that’s heavier, that’s chocolatey, nutty, maybe even with a little bit of spice like cardamom, nutmeg, holiday spices,” he said in a phone interview.

Rob North, owner and brewer of Great North Aleworks, aims for solid drinkability in his beers, but also for the ability to pair well with food. His idea for a fall seasonal is one that can bridge the variability of autumn in New England, suited both for warmer days and to serve at the table for Thanksgiving.

“When I think fall I think of some of the holidays coming up in November, but we also [get] some of those hot days of Indian summer,” North said in a phone interview.

Beer: Jalapeno IPA, Peanut Butter Stout Brewery: Border Brewery, 224 North Broadway, Salem, borderbrewsupply.com For Joe Ruotolo, brewing is all about standing out.

“Anything that’s different is popular,” he said. “Our lineup changes every other week... because people want different things all the time and that also brings customers coming back to see what Joe brewed up next.”

Along with a pumpkin beer and vanilla Thanksgiving Porter, Ruotolo brews a peanut butter stout and a jalapeno IPA — which he sometimes mixes together to create a brew called “spicy nut.”

By brewing them separately and mixing together the finished products, he can have two different yeast profiles, which is what changes the flavor of the beer.

Sometimes his fall seasonals are so popular they become year-round options, like the vanilla bourbon oak stout, brewed with vanilla bean and bourbon soaked oak chips, and the peanut butter stout, which tastes “like an adult Reese’s cup.”

When asked exactly how he gets the peanut butter flavor into the beer, Ruotolo said it’s a trade secret that he’ll never tell — despite the fact that he is asked that question all the time.

com While most New Hampshirites are familiar with Smuttynose Brewing, which recently moved to its new location in Hampton, some may not be aware of the company’s R&D facility, called Smuttlabs.

“It’s really about experimenting, and people want to know what’s new and cool and happening,” Thompson said. “We have the ability to do beers that are experimental and playful.”

The latest release from Smuttlabs is Chestnut Saison, a farmhouse-style beer with roasted chestnuts, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Smuttynose also has a pumpkin ale, its core fall seasonal since 2003, and Frankenlager, the first beer brewed in the new brewhouse.

“It’s fall themed,” Thompson said of Frankenlager. “It’s a maltier lager, light and golden color, but a little sweeter with a heavier body. And the name and branding, that’s fun beer for fall.”

Thompson noted that finding the right balance in flavors for a fall beer lineup is important. With the pumpkin ale as the most popular this time of year from Smuttynose, the idea with adding Frankenlager was to make sure patrons have flavor options for the season.

“And with Smuttlabs … it’s about creating a complete profile to hit the different niches in the market,” he said.

Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale and Frankenlager are currently available, and Smuttlabs Chestnut Saison will be released Oct. 19. Find

Famous Caramel Apples Fresh, local apples from Gould Hill Farm dipped in homemade caramel, smothered in chocolate and covered in gourmet toppings.

“We wanted to bring it back and with more food,” Tanzer said.

“Manchester is just a diverse community and we all express our culture through our food,” Rabbi Davidson said in a phone interview. “Highlighting Jewish food was a way for us to highlight our [culture] and I think particularly in this day and age the more people that know about the cultures that make up our community, the better our community is.”

Many people within the Jewish community attended last year, though Davidson was surprised at the turnout from the community in general. With the diverse crowd, she said adding an educational component, like tours of the sanctuary, would be a great way to introduce people to the temple and Jewish culture.

“We had so many people from outside the Jewish community, and they had never tasted stuffed cabbage or the matzo ball soup,” Tanzer said. “We’re having gallons of matzo ball soup.”

They’re preparing for a big crowd with 180 pounds of brisket, 100 pounds of pastrami and corned beef deli meat, 10 pounds of sweet noodle kugel and 50 to 60 pounds of cabbage.

Gordon, co-chair for the festival, said the most popular items at last year’s festival were brisket, stuffed cabbage and matzo ball soup.

“Because they smell so good, [it’s] no surprise at all,” she said in a phone interview. “The brisket and the stuffed cabbage, the smell of that is so savory.”

Most of the food will be prepared in advance. On the day of the event, about two dozen people will be onsite to take orders and answer questions.

Guests can enjoy their brisket and kugel in the temple’s social hall or take it in a togo container to enjoy at home during the football game.

“We made sure it wasn’t going to be the same time at the Patriots game,” Davidson said, noting that the festival ends at 3 p.m., well before the game starts.

Corned beef, pastrami and brisket by the pound were the most popular takeaway items last year, though stuffed cabbage, matzo ball soup and more will be ready and served in to-go containers.

“This is a great opportunity to get your food, take it home and enjoy the game,” Tanzer added.

38 in Hudson, Carina’s Cakes in Derry, Cupcakes 101 in Bedford, Sophisticakes in Windham and Bite Me Kupcakes in Merrimack will each bring 75 cupcakes to decorate and present for the chance to win the people’s choice and judges’ choice award.

“Some bakers use the event to showcase their best cupcake and then some really take the opportunity to create [something] totally different, so I’ve definitely seen a good combination of both,” Sanders said.

Inspired by the TV show Cupcake Wars, mixing food and fundraising is a great way to get the community involved.

“I think that people love to eat [and] during the 30 minutes where they’re decorating the cupcakes you can feel the energy coming from the bakers so I think it’s a combination of energy in the room and eating cupcakes,” she said.

Proceeds from the event benefit Southern New Hampshire Services’ Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, a national service project in which volunteers 55 and older participate in programs such as osteoporosis prevention, minor home repairs for disabled and senior individuals, working with local schools to read to children and teach about nutrition and physical activity, and providing companionship for homebound seniors.

Bowls at Brookside Congregational Church.

The New Hampshire Potters Guild makes and donates hundreds of bowls for guests to choose from before sampling soups from local restaurants.

“They’re beautiful, they are many different colors,” Michelle Casale, development director for New Horizons for New Hampshire, said in a phone interview. “Many people come and buy more than one bowl and give them out as holiday gifts.”

New Hampshire Potters Guild typically starts making the next batch of bowls right after the previous event, selling 400 to 450 bowls each year.

“They are all unique, each one is individually made and no two are alike,” Casale said, noting that the earth-toned ceramic bowls come in many shades like blue and green. “We usually have 16 participating restaurants and our [guests] are charged $20 when they arrive at the event, and that gives them the choice of one bowl and unlimited soup to sample.”

This year’s restaurants include Angela’s Pasta & Cheese Shop, Taj India, Red Arrow Diner, Jerome’s Deli, Piccola Italia Ristorante, Billy’s Sports Bar & Grill and more.

“We try to keep it interesting, having a wide variety from broth soups to cream soups to seasonal,” she said. “What always goes fast is the seafood chowders.”

Guests can enjoy live entertainment while sitting and eating at long tables, talking with the friends and family they came with or those they just met.

“The premise of Empty Bowls international is that there will be no empty bowls for anyone. We’re helping to fight hunger,” Casale said. “This is our primary food-based fundraiser and it’s always a hit. People look forward to it year after year.”

Funds raised benefit New Horizons for New Hampshire, which operates a homeless shelter, food pantry, and soup kitchen.

Sterling “Tex” Trumphour is no stranger to butcher shops.

A third-generation meat cutter, he started working in his family’s meat market in Texas when he was 12 years old.

He came to New Hampshire to work as a meat manager for Stop ‘n Shop, but when the chain decided to leave the state he got the needed push to do what he’d always wanted — open his own store. At The Happy Butchers (222 Elm St., Milford, 554-1339, thehappybutchernh. com), Trumphour strives to revitalize the tradition of the neighborhood butcher shop, where customers and staff know each other and stop by not only for high-quality meat and prepared meals to go, but also for the chance to chat and catch up with their local butcher.

FROM THE

I listen to the same radio talk show every morning on my way to work. Normally, the show is filled with celebrity interviews, crazy antics and a healthy dose of insanity.

The other morning was no different, except a comment from the disc jockey turned into a 10-minute conversation about chili — and callers were quick to chime in on how chili is made in their home states.

I had never really thought about the regional recipes for chili. I’ve only made it once or twice because I hate beans, and always thought it wasn’t chili without beans.

However, while listening to the show, I learned that Texas chili is bean-free, and chili from Wisconsin is made with noodles.

So that night as I was trying to think up something for dinner, I randomly did an online search for Texas chili recipes. I was amazed with the different articles featuring dozens of recipes, but I wanted something simple and classic. I eventually stumbled on former first lady and Texas native “Lady Bird” Johnson’s recipe for Pedernales River Chili.

The recipe was simple and pantryfriendly. Garlic, cumin, oregano and chili Pedernales River Chili Courtesy Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson 4 pounds chili meat (coarsely ground round steak or well-trimmed chuck) 1 large onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon ground oregano 1 teaspoon cumin 6 teaspoons chili powder 1 ½ cups canned whole tomatoes 2-6 generous dashes of hot sauce 2 cups hot water • FARM BRUNCH BUFFETS At Moulton Farm. Outdoor brunch featuring dishes made with ingredients grown on the farm. Buffet includes seasonal fruit, baked goods, egg and meat dishes. Sun., Oct. 18, Nov. 15, from 9 a.m. to noon. Moulton Farm, 18 Quarry Road, Meredith. Cost is $14.99 per adult, $9.99 for children 10 and under.

powder comprise the main pantry ingredients. Canned tomatoes, hot sauce and salt and pepper are all on hand in my pantry and went into the chili as well. And no beans!

After a few taste tests during the cooking process, I added more hot sauce and chili powder than the recipe called for, aiming to impress the hubby with something spicier than I would normally make.

The original recipe would have been great over cornbread, or topped with traditional chili toppings like sour cream, scallions and cheese. But I decided to take some inspiration from the state of Wisconsin and added noodles to my chili.

While adding the noodles made the dish hearty, it was also a bit heavy. The finished product reminded me a bit too much of goulash or American chop suey with some extra spice. Despite the similarities to the goulash I make regularly, this chili ended up being pretty delicious. The extra heat really amplified the flavors of the dish, and it’s certainly one I’ll be making again. But maybe I’ll leave the Wisconsin influence for a different dish. — Lauren Mifsud Salt to taste Place meat, onion and garlic in a large, heavy pan or Dutch oven. Cook until light in color before adding the oregano, cumin, chili powder, tomatoes, hot sauce, salt and hot water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat, simmer for about 1 hour. Skim off fat during cooking. *If you’d like to use noodles, cook according to package directions and add to chili before serving.

First, we sampled the pinot grigio, which is the brand’s newest offering. It is 100-percent stainless steel aged and has a small addition of an Italian grape to add creaminess. Cheryl recommends enjoying it well-chilled.

Next, we sampled the chardonnay. The label has what Cheryl calls a flavor cue to indicate what you will experience: apples and citrus. I enjoyed this wine, as it is lightly oaked but not overly oaked like some chardonnays.

Cheryl said they give extra care to the pinot noir, a delicate grape, often harvesting at night when it cools down in California. It is finished with a touch of sangiovese and has nice smooth tannins. This is a great wine for non-red wine drinkers.

The cabernet sauvignon has a new label featuring the breast cancer ribbon and notes the company’s sustainability. It also has a touch of sangiovese. I appreciated its bigger, bolder body and depth but still found it easy to drink with smooth tannins. Cheryl described it as robust, with a nice mouth feel.

The petite sirah is being tested in several stores across New Hampshire. This wine has a touch of zinfandel and some nice tannins. It is complex, finishing with a nice smokiness.

Cheryl stressed the brand’s quality and value (you can purchase it for less than $10 right now in NH Liquor & Wine Outlet stores). And a portion of proceeds from all purchases in October will be donated to the NHBCC.

Earlier this year, the New Hampshire Liquor Commission launched a fine wine tasting series to expose guests to premium wine offerings while raising money for charity. An early September event benefitted Concord Hospital’s Payson Center for Cancer Care, and two additional events raised money for the New Hampshire Breast Cancer Coalition.

I recently had the chance to sit down with two guests of honor who were here for the events held in Portsmouth and Concord. Cheryl Indelicato, HandCraft Wines proprietor from California, and Dr. Sheri Y. Prentiss, national speaker, public health expert and breast cancer survivor, talked about how they got involved in this cause and what brought them to New Hampshire.

“I really feel that living well also means giving back. Being a registered nurse, and my grandmother was a breast cancer survivor in the 1960s, I really felt that it went hand in hand and this was a platform I wanted to get back to,” said Cheryl, part of a third-generation vintner family. HandCraft was started in 2012 and is currently marking their 91st harvest. She said she always wanted to start her own brand and this one pays homage to her Italian heritage with a small addition of Italian vartietals blended with the other grapes.

Cheryl met Sheri at a Susan G. Komen three-day event in San Francisco and the two became fast friends. Sheri’s story is a pretty amazing one to hear. A physician by trade, she survived breast cancer and decided she wanted to get behind causes that she believed in and live in the moment.

“I was sitting there one day and I decided, ‘I’m [going] to live.’ And shortly thereafter, it settled in me what ‘live’ meant,” Sheri said.

No longer able to practice medicine, she stumbled upon a posting by Susan G. Komen for a national spokesperson.

Among a field of 500-plus candidates, she earned the position and is currently in her fifth year. She is also an author, having written a book on her experiences.

“It’s a brand that doesn’t just allow an individual to share a wonderful glass of wine with a family member or a friend,” Sheri said of Cheryl and HandCraft. “When you purchase a bottle of HandCraft, you are making a difference locally and abroad, because she is very generous.”

So how is the wine? I found it very approachable, pleasant and easy to drink.

This New York City electro-punk band has always stood on the edge of some measure of superstardom, during which time (18 years now) they’ve consistently put the kibosh on real success by simultaneously being a ferocious cyber-punk organism with hooks and a joke band. They easily have the talent to go in the direction of, say, God Lives Underwater or something of that sort, but just when you start bobbing your head and feeling like you want to take a jolly baseball bat to a mailbox, singer Jimmy Urine starts with some sort of jackwagon nonsense. This LP, mostly comprised of “long-lost” recordings from their earliest days, documents the roots of their whatever-ness, starting with a sturdy but ultimately disposable rub of Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus,” complete with electroshock-blast guitars, staccato rhythms and Urine’s raging yet annoyingly complacent caterwauling. Then there’s “Memory of Heaven,” a speed-hardfloor mess that had me wishing Urine would just shut up and leave the comedy to Weird Al. I mean, if you’ve been dying for MSI to show some teeth, this is it, but someday I’d really like to hear something from this crew that wasn’t drawn in hurried crayon. B- — Eric W. Saeger River Tiber, When the Time is Right (self-released)

Here we have a new way of looking at trip-hop — let’s call it “deep trip-hop,” owing to the Baptist-choirlevel soul that comes along with these laconic beats. Former Berklee student Tommy Paxton-Beesley had this EP funded by Muchfact, a Canadian organization that seems focused on helping out musicians who deserve a little financial boost, which this guy certainly does (jeez, the New Pornographers got some help from this thing too?). This year found Paxton-Beesley receiving lots of love when Drake’s “No Tellin’” sampled his then-unreleased “No Talk,” leading to instant A-list status in the Toronto scene. I can’t speak to that part, but the kickoff tune here, “No Talk,” certainly is a strange and beautiful animal, made of bedroom soul, a little Bon Iver and some Nintendo-synth that actually grows on you. Closing number “Waves” sounds like some lost track from a 1980s Cars album; “Let You Go” ups both the glitch and Drake factors simultaneously to nice effect, if questionable accessibility, not that that should dissuade you.

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • Desiccated rock ’n’ roll corpse Rod Stewart has apparently been trolled by a bunch of Jackass-watching brats into making a new album, called Another Country. Basically everyone has a Rod Stewart song they can tolerate, I think. Like, I can deal with “Forever Young.” What about you? Maybe you can dig on the new “Love Is” single from this new album. Look, lots of fiddle players and people in long skirts and crazy whippy hair, all smiling as though they think people will buy this album at all the malls and stores, like they used to. It sounds like Celtic Woman doing an Irish song about the Titanic, but with Rod Stewart.

• I like the noise-rock band Joanna Gruesome, but now it’s time for me to go find a YouTube or something of their namesake, Joanna Newsom, because her new LP Divers is coming straight for us. She’s a harp player, as in harp, not harmonica, so I assume I’ll be hearing some more of her quirky harp and quirky polyrythmic nonsense, over the Internet wires, in just a second here. Ah, here’s something, a video for the new single “Sapokanikan.” Boy, her voice is even more quirky and moonbatty than ever. It’s like Glinda the Good Witch on acid, doing an unplugged-piano version of something Vampire Weekend taped over because it was so annoying. For the sake of my health I must leave this video, post haste.

• Have we talked about 5 Seconds of Summer before? I swear we have. Sounds Good Feels Good is the title of this Australian pop-punk band’s next album, and it will be available at your life-after-peoplelooking abandoned strip mall. There is a teaser video, full of horrible boyband-emo gobbledygook that will make you almost miss Good Charlotte. Gack, these dweebs can’t move on to their tattoos-drinking-and-regret stage quickly enough to suit me.

• Hmm, country-pop princess Carrie Underwood — is she the one with the husband who left her for a boy, or is she the one who just got divorced, or is she the other one with some other problem?

Honestly, how do you people keep up with all this nonsense? Wait, let me read this stuff here, even though I couldn’t care less about some shrinkwrapped American Idol fraudster who became the new Monday Night Football girl. Let me educate myself a little before I … ha ha, she’s married to a hockey player, and when the guy got traded from Ottawa to Nashville, the hockey fans demanded that her songs be banned from Ottawa’s radio stations because she was obviously in on the conspiracy to keep the Ottawa Senators in their rightful place as practice obstacle-cones for the good teams. Storyteller is her new album, and the single is “Smoke Break,” a dumb-truckin’ NASCARcountry “story song” about being a broke single mom. If you play it backward, there are all sorts of insults aimed at the Ottawa Senators.

Vermont stories

Howard Frank Mosher continues with God’s Kingdom

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

When Howard Frank Mosher and his wife Phillis moved to Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom in their early 20s to take teaching jobs, they discovered a wealth of stories waiting to be told.

They realized this while listening to their apartment landlady talk about her years as a dairy farmer during the Depression, when she and her first husband began making and selling moonshine illegally to avoid bankruptcy. Her story had phantom elements, two dead husbands and an out-of-the-blue marriage proposal.

“I looked at my wife, and she looked at me.

We both knew I was going to write stories in the Northeast Kingdom. It was an epiphany for me,” said Mosher, who’s now in his 70s.

The landlady’s story would eventually become Where the River Flows North.

All Mosher’s books have ties to the region, including his latest, God’s Kingdom.

“In Vermont, we really are cut off from much of the rest of New England in a way that enabled the people of this area to develop their own culture,” Mosher said. “I think what that has resulted in is a group of self-sufficient and independent-minded group of people. And as I try to show in God’s Kingdom, there are advantages and disadvantages to that.”

For one, it provokes wariness and suspicion of outsiders. During the interview, Mosher recounted racism in 1968, the year the first African American family moved to the village. The minister, his wife and children had come from California to get away from riots, and a week after they arrived, a

handful of locals shot through their front windows. This story became A Stranger in the Kingdom in 1989.

“Instead of investigating the suspects of the shooting, the state police and local newspaper editor and local state’s attorney cockatooted some charges against the minister, accusing him of committing adultery with a white house guest,” Mosher said.

God’s Kingdom is a sequel to Stranger and looks at the after-effects of this event through a young man, years later, coming of age in the Northeast Kingdom and discovering his family’s involvement in that case.

Many of Mosher’s stories have been translated to the big screen by Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven who, like Mosher, recognizes and admires the quirkiness and way of life in the Northeast Kingdom. The filmmaker always shoots on site and has said in a past Hippo interview he loves the larger-than-life characters and sense of place in Mosher’s books, which are pretty true to form.

It’s because of this quirkiness Mosher was surprised no writer had tackled these parts before.

“I think Robert Frost spent the summer in the Northeast Kingdom in the 1940s, but since then, nobody had written the stories of the Northeast Kingdom. At 21 years old, I wasn’t really old enough to begin writing them, but I certainly was ready to hear them,” Mosher said.

Erica Jong has written eight novels and seven books of poetry.

Name one, other than Fear of Flying.

Thought so.

Although she is one of the most celebrated female writers of her generation, Jong’s name is synonymous with the 1973 novel in which the irrepressible Isadora Wing seeks meaning and fulfillment in zipless, er, fornication. The book was a bible of second-wave feminism and sold 27 million copies.

Jong’s other titles, which include Shylock’s Daughter and Any Woman’s Blues, all made the New York Times bestseller list but were not nearly so memorable.

Then came a stroke of marketing genius: a life-spanning trilogy of fear. The memoir Fear of Fifty came out in 1994. Fear of Dying is new this fall. It is not, as fans might have hoped, the adventures of Isadora at 60, but those of her best friend.

Isadora bops in and out, dispensing love and wisdom.

Vanessa Wonderman, a retired actress married 15 years, is going through an endlife crisis, the sort realized when Baby Boomers are sandwiched between aging parents and needy adult children. Both of Vanessa’s parents are bed-ridden, awaiting the inevitable, and though her mother’s “cheerful dementia is studded with piercing insights” and “fierce truth-telling” Vanessa suspects her parents’ decline is taking years off her own life.

Meanwhile, her daughter, Glinda (forever mad that she was named after a witch) is five months pregnant, and Vanessa’s doting but increasingly dull husband is hospitalized for an aneurysm, unlikely to help their already flagging sex life.

Inspired by her friend Isadora’s earlier work and philosophy, Vanessa decides to seek satisfaction on a website called zipless dot com. (Apparently, this is set in the post-Ashley Madison era.) Soon she is meeting strange men in hotels, and Isadora, who has turned out to be somewhat of a prude while accelerating toward eternity, tut-tuts on the sideline, yammering about the importance of connection and joy.

Jung’s voice is light and comical — between us girls — except for the occasional forays into “between us Democrats,” when she delivers tired and scolding tirades: “How can you believe in God after the

Holocaust, the Vietnam war, Iraq, Afghanistan?” and “Witness the Holocaust, we, again?, Hurricane Katrina, the earthquake in Haiti, 9/11 and Abu Ghraib.

Witness school shootings and our inability to stop them. God is disappointed in us. We failed each test. We are not kind enough or good enough to be saved.”

The ardent Hillary supporter may say “Preach it, sister.” Or, just as likely, stop nagging and write.

When she does, Jong writes with the ease with which the glib talk, creating characters that are glitzy as vaudeville, but recognizable as your own mother. Here is her description of Vanessa’s: “Her cheeks are sallow and crosshatched with a million wrinkles. Her eyes are rheumy and clotted with buttery blobs.

Her feet are gnarled and twisted, and her thick-ridged toenails are a jagged mustard color. Her nightgown keeps opening to reveal her flattened breasts.”

Jong’s gift of description and dialogue is matched by her philosophical asides.

She ponders how modern adults cling to dying parents because they themselves are not yet ready to be the grown-ups, and how aging reveals the wisdom of the body, and how parents are transformed from irritants to gods upon death.

“Death begins the harvest — the harvest of pain, of administration, of clerical work. And the gradual transformation of a difficult parent into a demi-saint.

“Scratch demi. Parents get nobler and nobler after they die. They also get funnier and more endearing. They come to deserve your desperate love.”

The book’s flaw, besides a formulaic simplicity and predictable conclusion, is the 1-percent world Vanessa and her tribe inhabit. As much as Fear of Flying, this seems a book of the 1970s, when a conversation about a friend buying an outof-service Concorde (“That [expletive] will get to Paris in three hours while we take six!”) is a value-neutral exchange to have.

It’s a gilded book by a gilded author about gilded people who flirt with wisdom at an advanced age. It has too great an ancestral lineage, and is too skillfully crafted, to fail. But charming though it may be, it’s a zipless read that, unlike its forebears, hoes previously cultivated ground. B — Jennifer Graham

Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) always loved the tightrope walk. As a child, he became enamored while watching a performance by a circus that came to his town. When he’s older, he trains on and off with the head of the tightrope-walking troupe, Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley, doing an accent that my brain could never quite understand). Making a living as a street busker in Paris, Petit starts dreaming of walking between the two towers when he sees a newspaper story about them being built. He performs an attention-getting walk between the two towers of the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral and then sets out planning his walk in New York City. He gathers a small crew of friends/admirers who help him, including musician Annie (Charlotte Le Bon) and photographer Jean Louis (Clemont Sibony).

The challenges — aside from the obvious “not dying” — include finding a way to brace the wire so it can take Petit’s weight and the weather so high up in the sky and finding a way to get all the necessary equipment up 100 stories to the top of both towers, one of which isn’t finished yet. (Its completion is the motivating factor of the stunt — Petit believes that the walk needs to happen before the tower is completed). And, because this is an unauthorized stunt, Petit and his crew need to get everything in place and Petit out on the wire before anybody realizes what they’re doing or else the police will shut it down and make future attempts impossible.

I had an odd reaction to the very end of The Walk, one that retroactively colors my feelings about the movie that came before it. My first thought, as I was watching the movie’s closing scenes, was “ew” and my second thought was “oh, man, I’m not going to cry over this nonsense, am I?” I didn’t, but the movie seemed to be working hard to get me there in a way that reminded me of the sentimentality of this movie’s director Robert Zemeckis’ Forrest Gump. It’s a difficult needle to thread, finding a way to end the movie in a way that is about Petit and his walk and the towers with-

The Walk

out being about that other part of the towers’ history. The movie does it less than expertly, laying on the final image of the golden towers a little too thick. The drama does not need Zemeckis’ underlining to make it poignant.

Setting aside the ending, The Walk is a solid film, not perhaps as good at Man on Wire, the 2008 documentary about Petit’s stunt that I remember as even more nail-biting in some ways, but solid nonetheless. This isn’t Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s best role and yet it’s still vastly better than any given performance by many a similar-aged actor. He is one of those rare actors whom you can never quite forget is actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt but who can still meld enough with each role that you don’t care and can buy the performance. He allows us to believe in Petit’s obsession with grand wire-walks and to believe that his passion for what he sees as his art is great enough that he can convince others to help him. And that’s no easy feat — would you be eager to help somebody do their art if you knew one of the outcomes (one of the likely outcomes) was that you would be an accomplice to his death? His Petit narrates the movie as well, appearing to stand on the torch of the Statue of Liberty with the Towers in the background.

For a variety of reasons, I could have had less of this, but it doesn’t get in the way as much as it could have done.

What The Walk does, especially in 3-D, which I how I saw the movie, is give you a sense of Petit’s stomach-churning position so high in the air, supported by what appears to be nothing. With one exception (something

always has to come right at you at least once in a movie like this, it seems, or the effects guys don’t feel they got their money’s worth), the 3-D of this movie is fairly subtly used. It makes you feel the distance from the ground (really feel it — I don’t have a problem with heights but I’m pretty sure I grabbed the arm of my seat) and the precariousness of one shaky wire suspended so far up.

The Walk is a fun little movie about a magical moment that captures the whimsy of that moment as much as the step-by-step of how it was created. And if it gets you to watch the even more entertaining documentary about the event, so much the better. BRated PG for thematic elements involving perilous situations, and for some nudity, language, brief drug references and smoking.

Directed by Robert Zemeckis with a screenplay by Zemeckis & Christopher Browne (based on the book To Reach the Clouds by Philippe Petit), The Walk is two hours and three minutes long and distributed by Tristar.

Pan (PG)

An orphaned Peter arrives in Neverland for the first time in Pan, the completely unnecessary origin story for Peter Pan.

Peter (Levi Miller), an orphan in World War II London, is, along with other boys from his orphanage, whisked away, via floating pirate ship, in the night and taken to a mine filled with other orphan boys from various places and times. The locale is Neverland and the mineworkers are digging for fairy

dust, which they find in small crystal-like chunks. The pirate Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman), dictator of the mine, hunted the island's fairy kingdom to extinction and is now essentially strip-mining Neverland for the last bit of fairy dust. As we eventually learn, Blackbeard is using the fairy dust to sustain his own eternal life and without it he looks like Hugh Jackman in questionable aging makeup, I mean, a very old man.

(This seems like a terrible plan, by the way.

Why make extinct the beings that create the thing you need? Either this is some sort of very clunky environmental metaphor or it's just a poorly thought out plot point.)

When Peter finds a chunk, he has it stolen before he can turn it in and the kerfuffle he kicks up over getting credit for the find leads to his being forced to walk the plank. Luckily for him, on the way down the very long drop from plank to ground, Peter realizes he can fly. Blackbeard thinks this is a sign that Peter is the, heavy sigh, Chosen One who will unite the native peoples and remaining fairies of Neverland and lead the war against him.

Fellow miner James Hook (Garrett Hedlund) sees Peter as a possible ticket out of the mine and works to free him from Blackbeard's clutches. The two eventually make their way to the island's native peoples, whose princess is Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara). She believes that Peter might indeed be the savior they've been waiting for. Even though Hook is all "I ain't in this for your revolution, Princess" he sort of sticks around to help Peter, all the while planning his escape from Neverland.

Full disclosure: I missed the first 10 minutes of this movie, though nothing I saw in any of the minutes after made me think those were the 10 minutes that brought it all to life.

One of the many problems with Pan is a problem that most of the Peter Pan adaptations in recent years have had. I'll call it the Hook Problem. Captain Hook, or in this case pre-captain Hook, is the way more interesting character than Peter. This was true whether he was crazy old Dustin Hoffman in Hook or sexypants Colin O'Donoghue of Once Upon a Time or the Hook played by Jason Isaacs in the rather straightforward Peter Pan movie from 2003 where Isaacs also played Mr. Dar-

ling, the children's father (and the movie, if the trailer and my memory can be believed, was a lot more about Wendy and her ambivalence about approaching adulthood than about Peter). Here, Garrett Hedlund's proto-Hook, with a strange Yosemite Sam-ish accent, is your Han Solo reluctant-hero type. He isn't the Chosen One but he appears to be the one guy in the mines with the gumption to attempt an escape. The future adventures of Hook, who here displays heroic qualities but who we know will also develop villainous ones, and his Chewbacca-like sidekick Smee (Adeel Akhtar) hold way more swashbuckling possibility than Peter and his band of orphans.

Miller does fine for most of the movie but the more confident Peter got the less I enjoyed his performance, which points to another problem with Peter as a character, and specifically as the focus of an origin story: He is on the road to becoming a static character (the boy who never grows up) who is full of himself. The Peter Pan cockiness has a tendency to be extremely wearing when delivered by a child actor. He's not, like Hook, on the road to villainy but on the road to being an irritating hero. Wheeee.

Pan has other flaws. Rooney Mara is the least fun possible choice for Tiger Lily. You feel that she is being hunted by pirates in part for being a massive buzzkill. The special effects are not great. When Peter finally did a lot of serious flying in the movie's final act, I found myself doing a lot of wincing. There are a lot of little details (the rallying song of the mine workers is Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in a moment that weirdly seems to rip off Moulin Rouge; everything about the graphics for the "beautiful" mermaids is super creepy) that seem to be about adding whimsy but that come off not at all as whimsical but instead as forced and sort of exhausting.

I'll give Pan the benefit of the doubt and say it has a few bits with promise. Sadly, no amount of believing or clapping your hands will make this movie soar. D Rated PG for fantasy action violence, language and some thematic material. Directed

by Joe Wright with a screenplay by Jason Fuchs, Pan is an hour and 51 minutes long and distributed by Warner Bros.

Theatrical rockers celebrate four decades

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

2015 marks 40 years since the The Tubes released their eponymous first album, with its instant classic, “White Punks on Dope.”

A decade of hits followed, including “Prime Time,” “Talk to Ya Later” and the chart-topping “She’s a Beauty.”

Apart from a late 1980s to early ’90s hiatus, the band’s toured throughout. Lately, though, lead singer Fee Waybill detects an uptick of interest.

“It’s like everybody remembers all of a sudden,” Waybill said recently from his SoCal home. “We played to 12,000 people in Ottawa and the place went nuts! We haven’t been to Canada in 20 years — I don’t even like Canada — but they convinced us to do a one-night stand. We toured Europe; every night was packed and they asked us to come back next March. ... All of a sudden it’s a big deal and we’re selling out wherever we go.”

Made up of theater majors, graphic designers and other artists, the band’s trailblazing live act set the standard for much of what followed. Alice Cooper, Genesis, Kiss and others had elaborate stage shows, but kinetic theatricality set the Tubes apart. Waybill pointed to the difference between The Tubes and Alice Cooper’s acts as indicative.

“Alice pretty much doesn’t do anything,” Waybill said. “He stands in the middle and with his snake or spear and it all happens around or to him. We had all the dancers and everything; everybody was involved.”

Their secret weapon was a young Kenny Ortega, bound for future movie fame with The Tubes When: Thursday, Oct. 22, 8 p.m.

see these shows was endless. It’s where my directing and choreography really took off.”

Success begot success, radio airplay mushroomed, gigs got bigger, rehearsals grew longer and staging became ever more elaborate — and expensive.

“It was just insane,” Waybill said. “At one point we had a giant blue tubular city where we had these 10-foot-across blue tubes connected to towers that were like 30 feet tall, each with a quick change room so I never had to leave the stage [and] we didn’t give a whole lot of thought to the cost.”

The grueling pace of touring burned out some of the band members. Four of the original seven remain today: Waybill, guitarist Roger Steen, drummer Prairie Prince and bass player Rick Anderson. Bill Spooner and Michael Cotten stopped touring, and Vince Welnick died in 2006.

Though one of the band’s biggest production numbers featured Waybill as drug-addled English rock star Quay Lewd teetering in giant platform shoes, the Tubes singer never touched anything stronger than ginseng.

“Prairie and I used to buy a box of black tar goo, and we would take it every night because we were just so beat to crap,” Waybill said.

“Luckily, I never hurt my voice, and it’s way better now than it was back then.”

Xanadu, Dirty Dancing, Newsies and the High School Musical trilogy. When he first met the band, Ortega was mainly a dancer, fresh off a national tour with the rock musical Hair. The Tubes had hired the all-female comedic group Leila & the Snakes as stage dancers and were trying to create their show.

“We kind of floundered around with these girls, not knowing what to do,” Waybill said.

“Kenny saw us and said, ‘Let me be the choreographer.”

The band rented out the 100-seat Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco’s Marina District to rehearse and record videos to play in six giant (for the era) monitors they took on tour.

“It was like a constant workshop,” Waybill said. “We were constantly working, changing, fixing and improving; by the second album, we kind of got the hang of it.”

In an Entertainment Weekly interview earlier this summer to promote his new Disney film The Descendants, Ortega recalled working with the band.

“They were a fantastic group of artists and musicians that pioneered early music video, and we were the first people to really bring theater into our concerts,” he said.

“Our shows were subversive, scary, shocking, beautiful. Mick Jagger came, Elton came, Bowie came — the list of artists that came to

SIGNS OF LIFE competence; they’ll chop your sentences short and stupidify your writing. Competence is up to you. You’re on your own out there with those man-eating semicolons. You have the competence. Now use it.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Too many people who yatter on about “you should never use the passive voice” don’t even know what it is.

Many have confused it with the verb to be … which doesn’t even have a passive voice. And so they go around telling us not to use the verb to be! Most verbs are more exact and colorful than that one, but you tell me how else Hamlet should have started his soliloquy, or how Jehovah should have created light. When you’re learning something new, don’t rush to conclusions about it.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) You might also think about these matters: Is the story clear?

Do we learn enough about the people and the situation — do we need more information? Or less? The key is to give just the right amount of information.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) One of the marvelous things about that marvelous thing the novel is its many-voicedness, its polyphony. All kinds of people get to think, feel, and talk in a novel, and that great psychological variety is a part of the vitality and beauty of the form. You will have a chance to meet all kinds of people.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) Do we expect somebody to fix our kitchen sink without tools? Do we expect somebody to stand up and play the violin without having learned how to play the violin? Writing a sentence that expresses what you want to say isn’t any easier than plumbing or fiddling. It takes craft. Now’s a good time to practice your craft.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Those of us who were brought up to be unaggressive in conversation are liable to use qualifiers — adjectives and adverbs such as rather, a little, which soften or weaken the words they modify. In conversation they’re OK; in written prose they’re bloodsuckers — ticks. Consider your words carefully.

All quotes are from Steering the Craft: A 21st-century Guide to Sailing the Sea of Story, by Ursula K. Le Guin, born Oct. 21, 1929.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) For the moment, forget all the good advice that says good style is invisible, good art conceals art. Show off!

This could be your time to shine. If not, you’ll still have fun.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Some adjectives and adverbs have become meaningless through literary overuse. Great seldom carries the weight it ought to carry. Suddenly seldom means anything at all; it’s a mere transition device…. Somehow is a super-weasel, a word that betrays that the author didn’t want to bother thinking out the story…. Take responsibility!

Watch out for super-weasels.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Always, in the last analysis, on your own or in a group, you are your own judge, and you make your own decisions. The discipline of art is freedom.

You’ll have to answer to yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Jane Austen’s prose is still near enough to the balanced style of the eighteenth century that it may sound stately or overcomposed to a modern ear; but read it aloud, which you’ll find surprisingly easy, and you’ll hear how vivid and versatile it is and feel its easy strength. Versatile, easy strength — that’s what you’re going for. Perhaps a wool blend?

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Some people who are ambitious about their writing and work hard on it in other ways breezily dismiss punctuation. Who cares where a comma goes?

You do.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Good grammar is pretty much like good engineering: the machine works because the parts do. Careless grammar is bad design plus sand in the gears and the wrong size gaskets. Make sure your machine is running smoothly.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) As for the stuff in your computer that pretends to correct your punctuation or grammar, disable it.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Democracy blues

Randy Richardson, 42, vying unopposed for the Riceville, Iowa, school board (having agreed to run just because he has two kids in school) failed to get any votes at all as even he was too busy on election day (Sept. 8) to make it to the polls (nor were there any write-ins). To resolve the 0-0 result, the other board members simply appointed Richardson to the office.

Riceville, near the Minnesota border, is a big-time farming community, and registered voters queried by The Des Moines Register said they just had too much fieldwork to do that day.

The serpentine queue extended for blocks in September in Lucknow, India, after the state government of Uttar Pradesh announced 368 job openings (almost all menial) eventually resulting in about 2.3 million applications, 200,000 from people with advanced degrees (even though the $240/month positions required only a fifth-grade education, according to an Associated Press dispatch). About 13 million young people enter India’s job market each year.

Thailand’s “Last Resort Rehab” at the Wat Thamkrabok Temple about 100 miles north of Bangkok resembles a traditional drug-detox facility (work, relaxation, meditation) except for the vomiting. At the “Vomit Temple,” Buddhist priests mix a concoction of 120 herbal ingredients that are nasty, according to the temple’s methamphetamine addicts interviewed for a recent Australian TV documentary. Said one, of the rehab agenda: “Vomiting is at 3 p.m. every day. Foreigners must vomit for the first five days. The vomiting is intense.”

• People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed a federal lawsuit in California in September on behalf of an endangered crested black macaque that wandered up to an unattended camera on a tripod and clicked a selfie. The camera belonged to photographer David Slater, who claimed copyright to the photo even though “Naturo” actually snapped it. The shot might be valuable to Naturo since it has become viral on the Internet. (Though the photo was taken in Indonesia, Slater’s publisher is based in California.)

• Jose Banks, now 40, filed a $10 million lawsuit in 2014 against the federal government because jailers at Chicago’s high-rise Metropolitan Correctional Center failed to guard him closely enough in 2012, thus enabling him to think he

could escape. He and a cellmate had rappelled 17 floors with bed sheets, but Banks was re-arrested a few days later. Still, he claimed that the escape caused him great trauma, in addition to “humiliation and embarrassment” and “damage to his reputation.” (In September, the U.S. Court of Appeals turned him down. Wrote the judges, “No one has a personal right to be better guarded.”)

(1) In August, Che Hearn, 25, who police said had just shoplifted electronics items from the Wal-Mart in Round Lake Beach, Illinois, was picked up while on foot near the store. Police found that Hearn had actually driven his car to the Wal-Mart but that while he was inside shoplifting, a repo agent (who had followed him to the store) had confiscated it. (2) Astronaut Edgar Mitchell (the sixth man to walk on the moon) told a reporter in August that “my own experience talking to people” has made it clear that extraterrestrials are trying “to keep us from going to war” with Russia and that U.S. military officers have told him that their test missiles are “frequently” shot down “by alien spacecraft.”

Many in conservative Jewish communities still practice the tradition of Kaporos on the day of atonement, but the critics were out in force in New York City’s Borough Park neighborhood in September to protest the ritual’s slaughter there of 50,000 chickens. (A synagogue raises money by “selling” chickens to members, who then have butchers swing the chickens overhead three times, thus transferring the owners’ sins to the chickens. Ultimately, the chickens are beheaded, supposedly erasing the humans’ sins. Protesters ask why not just donate money.)
