Is New Hampshire really a drug dealer’s paradise? That’s the provocative title of our cover story this week beginning on page 12.

The story delves into the economics of dealing drugs in New Hampshire. It turns out that for several reasons, New Hampshire is a good place to be a drug dealer. This is no knock on our law enforcement or even our political leaders.

It’s more a function of our geographic location and that we’re a safe place. In our story we go through some of the pricing of drugs — just by bringing drugs into New Hampshire, dealers can get a much higher street price than they can in places like Boston or New York. By virtue of our smaller population, territorial gangs never developed here.

Most of us view jail as the big danger in drug dealing, but really it’s other criminal enterprises. It’s the possibility of being robbed or shot. The threat of going to jail is the same in one place as another, but if profits are higher and violence less likely, coming to deal in New Hampshire makes a lot of sense.

This brings us to the natural next question: What can we as a state do about this?

We’re already doing quite a bit. This story came out of a recent Manchester police bust of a group of suspected dealers from the New York City area. In Manchester and Nashua, police are aggressively tackling street dealers. As you would expect, because the money earned here is so much greater than back at home, other street-level dealers are happy to take their place and risk incarceration. On the policing front, our local departments could use more financial support, more state support and definitely more federal aid.

This isn’t a Manchester or Nashua problem — it’s a statewide problem. The larger cities are natural hubs of commerce, and that includes illegal drugs. That does mean that the cost of confronting these problems tends to fall hardest on Manchester and Nashua, and that’s not fair. The state should be stepping in to make sure that the rest of New Hampshire is helping cover the cost of enforcement and treatment in our two largest cities.

We as citizens can also help. When we see or hear about dealers in our neighborhoods, we can call the police or Crimeline to report the activity anonymously.

We’re not going to wish this problem away, and to be frank the economics of it aren’t going to change either. Fighting this is a process, and it’s a process that’s already begun.

NEWS & NOTES

School aid cap

In an unexpected twist amid one of the state’s school funding battles, the Attorney General’s Office has declared it will not defend the constitutionality of the cap on state aid based on funding received the year before. The AP reported the City of Dover is suing the state over the cap because it limits their per-student funding despite the growing enrollment in their district and is calling for $14 million in back payments. The AG contests the payments but will not defend the cap on principle. This places the executive branch at odds with the Republican-led legislature.

Legislative leaders like Senate President Chuck Morse and House Speaker Shawn Jasper have intervened and said the AG’s actions set a bad precedent. Andru Volinsky, the lawyer who won the Claremont case about 20 years ago that set off the school funding battles that followed, is representing Dover in the case.

CD1 race

The Republican primary is taking shape for the 1st Congressional District with challengers for incumbent Rep. Frank Guinta. NHPR reported former Dean of the UNH business school Dan Innis has announced his candidacy.

Innis, a Portsmouth resident and former hotel owner, describes himself as fiscally conservative and moderate on social issues. He came in a close second behind Guinta in the 2014 Republican primary.

Meanwhile, the AP reported State Rep. Pam Tucker of Greenland is also exploring a bid for the seat.

Tucker has been a representative for four terms. She says she wants to rein in federal spending and end congressional gridlock. Former Democratic Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter is seeking her party’s nomination against Bedford businessman Shawn O’Connor.

Drug crisis bills

monitoring program, streamline insurance for addiction treatment and expand Manchester’s criminal hot-spot policing program to the rest of the state. She also wants to make penalties for distributing fentanyl as strong as those for selling heroin. Republicans support the latter law enforcement programs.

Republicans are also sponsoring a bill to provide $2.5 million in state funding for drug courts, which divert qualified addicts to treatment over incarceration.

While Hassan has been calling for urgency and a special session to pass these bills, Republicans have called for caution and favor the regular legislative process.

Dispensary hearing

Public comments at a recent hearing for a medical marijuana dispensary proposed in Dover deviated from the concerns expressed in similar hearings in other parts of the state. NHPR reported most of the folks who spoke at the hearing expressed eagerness about seeing a dispensary open sooner rather than later. A representative of the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services announced during the meeting that the state will allow patients and providers to begin registering for the medical marijuana program on Nov. 2.

Sununu center

Several options have been floated for what to do with the underutilized Sununu Youth Services Center. The facility is a 156-acre campus with 144 beds but has only serviced about 40 to 50 youth for the past several years. One plan to split the campus between its existing services and a new section for treating youth with mental health or substance abuse disorders is favored by the state’s health department. Another plan, favored by state Sen. David Boutin, whose district includes the campus, would sell the facility to a consortium of organizations that provide inpatient and outpatient services to youth. If a new purpose isn’t decided upon, the facility will likely close.

A number of bills are in the works to address the state’s drug and crime crisis, and some proposals have broad support. The Union Leader reported Gov. Maggie Hassan would like to see an over- College layoffs haul to prescriber practices, limit Due to reduced enrollment in emergency room prescriptions for Manchester Community College opioids, improve the prescription and Nashua Community College, HIPPO | NOVEMBER 5 - 11, 2015 | PAGE 4

the institutions are laying off staff and faculty. The Union Leader reported MCC eliminated eight positions. It laid off three full-time staff members, two full-time faculty members and one part-time staffer. It also eliminated two other part-time positions and downgraded three full-timers to part time. MCC had a big enrollment year in 2014 but has seen a 3-percent decrease this fall. At NCC, two full-time staffers were laid off while two fulltime faculty members were offered part-time positions.

Grading concerns

Rick Panzieri, known as Muskrat, left his home at the Circle 9 Ranch campground in Epsom after living there for nearly a decade, the Concord Monitor reported.

He and nine other campground residents were living there in violation of local law and were given eviction notices Oct. 20. Panzieri originally said he wouldn’t leave, according to the Monitor.

Hillside Baptist Church was unanimously denied a zoningHooksett variance at a rehearing, but it argues Pembroke Academy has a similar sign.

CONSERVATIONISTS

BANK BANDITS

Eight separate projects in as many New Hampshire communities are receiving large grants from the federal Land and Water Conservation fund totaling $930,000. NHPR reported five of the projects in Milford, Dover, Nelson, Wolfeboro and Durham will receive $150,000 each. Concord is getting $100,000 to develop trails and a boardwalk at Terrill Park. Bedford will develop its Pulpit Rock Conservation Area Trails with a grant of $42,500 while Raymond will use $37,500 to buy 1.4 acres of land on the Lamprey river to develop a kayak launch.

Eight months after getting released from a 12year stint in prison, a Manchester man and his alleged accomplices have been indicted for the same type of crime that landed him in prison in 2003. The Union Leader reported Joseph Richards was originally convicted of a Hooksett bank robbery. Now, he’s being charged with robbing three banks in Maine this past September with the help of two others. Richards allegedly put on a wig, makeup and a costume before entering banks in Portland and Lewiston with a woman armed with a black pellet gun. A getaway driver allegedly waited outside. The trio netted about $22,000 from their spree, according to police.

Candidate filing The filing period for presidential candidates opened Nov. 4 and will close on Nov. 20. The Union Leader reported the traditional waypoint for presidential hopefuls is expected to see well over 30 or 40 Republican candidates and 10 to 20 Democratic candidates file, most of them longshots the public has never heard of.

3rd GOP debate The top Republican candidates for president sparred in Colorado Oct. 28 over economic policy and chafed against CNBC debate moderators. The AP reported it was also a chance for the establishment candidates to step into the foreground as billionaire Donald Trump and neurosurgeon Ben Carson faded into the background. Gov. Jeb Bush tussled with his friend Sen. Marco Rubio, criticizing his low voting record, and Rubio accused Bush of bowing to political pressure to attack him. Frustration with the moderators, specifically their framing of questions and management of speaking times, led the Republican National Committee to suspend its partnership with NBC. Bush struggles?

Bush returned to New Hampshire the day after the debate to campaign in Portsmouth.

NHPR reported he told the crowd there his campaign is not failing, despite a recent culling of campaign staff. Bush also downplayed his poor debate performances, emphasizing the need for “leadership” over “personalities.”

Unions and students feel the Bern Three New Hampshire unions have endorsed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, according to the Union Leader. They are the statewide American Postal Workers Union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 490 and Service Employees International Union Local 560 of Hanover.

Meanwhile Sanders won a straw poll by college students at Saint Anselm College with 60 percent to Clinton’s 35 percent. Rubio edged Trump with 27 percent on the Republican side.

Walkable downtowns

NHIA hosts city planner, author, architectural designer Jeff Speck

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Making downtowns more walkable benefits entire communities, from businesses and employees to residents and visitors.

It’s why, for example, the Concord Main Street Project is in full swing — according to the project website, the city’s new Main Street “will enhance opportunities for cultural events, social gatherings and doing business” — and it’s why Manchester is welcoming ideas for improving its own downtown.

Hosting a series of speakers about how to do this seemed like a no-brainer to New Hampshire Institute of Art President Kent Devereaux, who’s also a member of the Manchester Cultural District Coalition, a nonpolitical group looking to create a cultural corridor in the city.

The first presenter is architectural designer and city planner Jeff Speck, author of Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time, who visits the school Monday, Nov. 9, from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Devereaux said via phone last week he’s been following Speck’s work for years. Speck was director of design for the National Endowment for the Arts from 2003 to 2007, oversaw the Mayors’ Institute on City Design and created the Governors’ Institute on Community Design, a federal program that helps state governors fight suburban sprawl. He’s provided plans and suggestions for downtowns Attend the event Where: New Hampshire Institute of Art, 148 Concord St., Manchester When: Monday, Nov. 9, from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

across the country, including mid-sized cities like Lowell, Mass., Des Moines, Iowa, and Boise, Idaho.

“He’s since become the preeminent advocate and expert on … making downtowns more walkable and liveable,” Devereaux said. “Many of his ideas have to do with, how can we make our streets safer and more conducive for businesses?”

Speck said via phone that what makes a city walkable is consistent across the board.

“If we’re going to get people to walk [downtown], the walk has to be as good as the drive. It has to simultaneously do four things: be useful, safe, comfortable and interesting,” Speck said.

To make it useful, Speck suggested providing more affordable downtown living options. To make it safer, look at the size of city blocks and streets and adjust accordingly. Generally, the smaller the block, the safer the roads; more intersections force people to drive slower. And consider traffic patterns; are streets one-way? Two-way?

Multi-laned?

“If a one-way has one lane, it’s not dangerous. What’s dangerous is giving people the opportunity to jockey,” Speck said.

Where many downtowns fail walkability-wise is in parking and drug stores.

People hate looking at parking lots and boarded-up windows, which is often what happens in these shops to make way for shelving units.

Speck said people prefer seeing downtown living spaces with definitive edges and interesting angles. They like city walls that are covered with windows, doors, stoops, porches and benches. Cars should be hidden away or lining main streets, not filling up large pieces of no man’s land.

“We humans are among the social primates. Nothing interests us more than other humans. If there are no signs of humanity — if the only signs are parked cars — then it’s not a place we want to walk around,”

Speck said.

Better yet, Speck said, make it easier to not drive at all. Make it bike-friendly, and you’ll attract millennials from all over, since fewer and fewer young people are obtaining driver’s licenses.

“They’re more interested in having choices in transit. Seventy-seven percent of American millennials polled plan on living in America’s urban cores, but they want to live in urban cores that can provide a real city experience while not being tied to the automobile,” Speck said. “The cities that have made the greatest [walkability] gains are biking cities.”

How do you create a biking culture?

Speck says it’s as easy as installing safe bike facilities. He cited Minneapolis as an example.

Walkability has become incredibly important to downtown economies, Speck said, because the way millennials decide to live has changed. No longer do they find jobs before re-locating. More important is a city’s quality of life.

“Sixty-four percent of millennials decide first where they want to live, then they move there and look for a job. It’s very different from my generation,” Speck said.

Speck said to start small. Make one block absolutely perfect and move outward from there, rather than making a whole city decent or mediocre. Determine, what are the easy wins? What can you do with the smallest amount of effort? Gather grassroots support.

“Most of the changes I recommend in cities only happen because of active citizens,” Speck said.

Devereaux said he hopes for a full crowd and lots of implementable ideas for Manchester.

“I’m hoping he has lots of ideas and observations about what other communities are doing, and hopefully we can borrow or steal the best ideas,” Devereaux said.

Bobcats making comeback NH considering hunting and trapping season

103509

YOUR SMILE IS YOUR BEST ACCESSORY!

A rebound in the bobcat population has prompted New Hampshire Fish and Game to consider lifting the ban that has kept the animal from being hunted since 1989, while local activists are trying to keep that ban in place.

The North American lynx, unlike the cougar, has a short tail, spotted fur and long hair on the sides of its face. For the past couple decades, it was a face very few Granite Staters ever saw. But bobcats are starting to make a comeback.

According to UNH, New Hampshire put an end to the bobcat hunt in 1989 when the cat population was estimated to have dwindled to 200.

But recent studies by biologists suggest the number is now between 1,400 and 2,200. Just last year the estimates were between 800 and 1,400.

So, in January, Fish and Game requested its wildlife experts draw up a conceptual guideline for a bobcat season.

When she heard of the plans, activist Linda Dionne began coordinating a group of about 15 people who were against a bobcat hunt and formed Voices of Wildlife in New Hampshire. She’s in the process of filing the non-profit paperwork now.

“We’ve been going to Fish and Game meetings ever since January,” Dionne said.

So far, Dionne has collected more than 9,800 signatures from New Hampshire residents on an online petition and more than 22,000 signatures nationwide on a separate petition.

“People do not like the idea of the bobcat being hunted and trapped,” Dionne said.

“They don’t want bobcats to be hounded, baited and trapped or hunted in any way.

They believe, like we do, that bobcats provide us with an important service: they keep prey populations in check.”

Dionne says bobcats are not a nuisance to anybody.

Mark Ellingwood, the chief of the wildlife division at Fish and Game, says the original guideline he helped draft recommended 75 licenses for a bobcat hunt distributed in a lottery. He said the conceptual hunt and trap season would be between December and January and was modeled closely after the fisher cat hunt and trap season.

By the time the commission voted to move forward with rulemaking on Oct. 14, the plan had changed to a lottery of 50 licenses.

“They’re taking a conservative approach,” Ellingwood said.

Dionne, whose group protested outside the Oct. 14 meeting, says she’s afraid a conservative lottery at first would open the door to more licenses down the road.

“The moose hunt lottery, it began with 75 permits. In subsequent years, it went up to 675 permits, 500 permits in one year,” Dionne said.

Ellingwood says the rulemaking process will involve public hearings and a public input period, though they haven’t been scheduled yet. While nothing is set in stone, the commission’s decision to enter into rulemaking implies the department’s intent to start a bobcat hunt. Dionne plans on attending every hearing and encouraging residents to submit written comment during the input period.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX

Energy inefficiency?

New Hampshire is lagging behind its New England neighbors in energy efficiency and ranks in the middle compared to the rest of the country. NHPR reported the State Energy Efficiency Scorecard released by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy places the Granite State 20th in the nation. Massachusetts holds the No. 1 spot while Vermont is third, Rhode Island is fourth, Connecticut is sixth and Maine is 14th. While it says New Hampshire has incentives in place for reducing energy use in state buildings, it has no reporting requirements and no public research centers focusing on efficiency.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Massachusetts has been at the top of the list for five years in a row.

75

High test scores

Students in New Hampshire scored among the highest in a national assessment of math and reading skills. The AP reported the 2015 National Assessment of Educational Progress showed high grades for both fourth-graders and eighth-graders. The numbers are similar to the 2013 assessment. The eighth-graders were tied with four other states for the top spot in reading while the fourth-graders scored the second-highest in the country. In math, fourth-graders were tied with five states for the top despite the average math score for fourth-graders being slightly lower than in 2013. Eighth-graders were tied with three other states at the top in math.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Along with being more energy-efficient, Massachusetts is also scoring better academic grades; it ranked higher than New Hampshire in every category except eighth-grade reading.

Daylight savings

Sure, the extra sleep is nice, but daylight saving is always a downer for QOL, who much prefers enjoying light in the afternoon and evening. When it’s dark at quitting time, QOL loses all motivation to do things like work out, cook or food shop and just wants to take a nap.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Counting down until Sunday, March 13, when it’s time to spring ahead.

Fiery weekend

Many New Hampshire residents were displaced this weekend because of apartment building fires. The biggest number came from a flame in Manchester, which displaced 20 early Friday morning, including six children, according to WMUR. Firefighters arrived at 12:50 a.m. and took an hour to get the blaze under control, with an estimated damage of $100,000 but no casualties. WMUR also reported that a Rochester apartment building fire displaced five people. Nobody was hurt, but residents were devastated at losing their belongings.

QOL Score: -2 Comment: Investigators suspect the Manchester fire occurred on the third-floor porch, sparked by careless smoking disposal; the Rochester fire is still under investigation.

The SiTe of

B. The best fit probably was ex-BC coach Tom Coughlin, who has a winning record head-to-head over him, but he’s still no Coach B. Would the Jets have become what the Patriots did? With Tuna running the team, Coach B wouldn’t have picked the groceries like here and that leads to power issues, so I don’t think so.

What If Bob Kraft Didn’t Own the Stadium? James Orthwein bought the Patriots to move them to St. Louis and only stayed because Foxboro Stadium owner Bob Kraft wouldn’t let him out of his lease. If that hadn’t happened, they’d be the St. Louis Patriots today and maybe the Rams would have come here after splitting from L.A. But that only would have happened with a new stadium, which proved so prickly to get the Pats almost wound up in Hartford. So that’s no lock. And given that L.A. remains without a team 20 years later, that might have been our fate instead.

What if the Redskins Had Never Left Boston? Well for one thing I’m betting they change the nickname. Second, it’s doubtful the AFL would’ve have tried to compete with an NFL team in Boston. Only L.A. and New York tried that, and the Chargers quickly moved to San Diego and New York was only saved after the Titans went bust by Joe Namath and becoming the Jets. That probably means no Patriots today, erasing 15 great years here. Phewww!

What If The Braves Had Stayed Here?

If so, Boston sees the great careers of Warren Spahn, Eddie Mathews and Henry Aaron unfold. They won the World Series in 1957, went again in ’58 and lost a playoff to L.A. in ’59 to go again as the Red Sox were going in the toilet. So if they had hung in until then, would the Red Sox have been the ones to move from a city that couldn’t support two teams? You can make a case that baseball would’ve been better the next 20 years, but it would’ve caused a monumental re-write of history. No Curse of the Bambino, Bucky Dent, Grady Little,

2004, 2007, 2013 and no rivalry with the Yankees. Yikes!

What If Wilt and Russell Swapped Teams? Wilt had the stats, Russell the rings, and the myth says that’s because Russell always had more talented teams.

Not true, though, as in Russell’s last four years Wilt had the younger, more talented teams and the aging Celtics still won three times. The only way Wilt could ever be judged better than Russell is if he’s a Celtic and wins 12 times to better Russell’s 11 as winning is all that counts in pro sports.

I doubt that happens as Russell would have won probably three times with the late ’60s Sixers and definitely with West and Baylor in L.A. But it also would’ve changed Russell’s story because if he’s not in Boston it’s doubtful he wins 11 times elsewhere.

Brady Goes to Indy and Peyton Plays Here: Wouldn’t it have been interesting to see Coach B defend against a Brady throwing to Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne? Would it have been Brady with the four picks in 2003 instead of Manning, or was that less a product of coaching and more of Peyton flinching in the big moment? I suspect it’s more the latter. So the Pats have two SB wins at most and Indy probably has a couple more at least.

What Happens If Tom Brady’s Gone Already At 199? You can make a case the last 15 years are a function of pure luck.

Even the biggest “In Bill We Trust”-ers can’t say there was a master plan to wait until 199. He was just there and they acted.

Pure luck. Chances are Coach B might have gotten someone good after that draft in 2000, or maybe he gets a veteran like maybe Doug Flutie, who was ending his run in Buffalo. Interesting, but no one would’ve been as good as TB-12, which means the whole story here is in re-write.

Great Events in Manchester

Behind Russett and Philistin Central Completes Dream 2004 Season John Lynch had just been elected governor, the Iraq war was in its 18th month, the Patriots were three months away from their third Super Bowl win in four years and Curse of the Bambino had been lifted days earlier when the Red Sox beat St. Louis in the World Series. It was November of 2004 and the brilliant Central football team was trying to complete a dream season with a fourth straight State Football Championship and the state’s first ever 13-0 season. Number 11 came in Round One of the playoffs by thumping Salem 42-12 as Sloan Russett ran for 245 yards and 5 TD’s on just 15 carries. After upsetting Concord 23-14 to reach the finals, tradition rich Pinkerton Academy stood in the way of number 12. Before the 3,000 on hand at Gill Stadium had settled in their seats Central was up 14-0 after just seven plays on a pair of Russett TD runs. It grew to 28-3 on another Russett TD run and one by Maryland bound running mate Dave Philistin. A two yard TD plunge by QB Josh Ratacik made it 34-10 after three. Russett hit pay dirt a fourth time early in the final period and Philistin closed out the scoring with a 36 yard run for the 47-18 final and fourth straight state title. The duo had 310 combined yards as Central ran for 420 overall to cap a remarkable season where Russett ran for 1917 yards and 28 TD’s while for Philistin it was 811 and 11. Five days later they were back at Gill for number 13 in a 32-12 win over Memorial in the Turkey Bowl to complete a dream season that provided a series of 13 great events for Manchester.

Bob Ryan wrote a column in Sunday’s Boston Globe imploring all to appreciate the amazing run of championships we have enjoyed so far in the 21st century.

He also reminded readers that there’s been an unbroken string of first ballot Hall of Famers playing here since Eddie Shore joined the Bruins in 1926.

But you can take it even further if you don’t mind a minor little gap between Shore’s arrival and Babe Ruth’s departure in 1920. Then you can go all the way back to the origin of professional sports as we know it when Cy Young was closing in on his 500th win going 33-10, 32-11 and 28-9 in Boston after the American League was formed in 1901.

Even greater in my view, however, was seeing two real dynasties evolve: the Celtics for 30 years after Bill Russell became the final piece to a great team in 1956, to the John Havlicek-Dave Cowens C’s of the ’70s, to Larry Bird and company into the early ’90s; and the Patriots, who are still one title away by my personal dynasty definition, but they’ve been something to count on for 15 years, so I bet they’ll get there.

If you’re taking all that for granted, shame on you. So here’s a little Ebenezer Scrooge-like trip back to make what we’ve had here a little vivid by showing what it might’ve been like if some monumental local sports things had never happened.

What if Coach B Had Stayed HC of NYJs? I must admit, he seemed deranged that day he bailed on the Jets. That notion lingered until he came out of the bunker for a radio interview before his first draft where he was himself — smart and clearly focused. But if he stays in NYC, who replaces Pete Carroll as HC of the trending down NEPs? No one picked anywhere since is in the same solar system as Coach

Tris Speaker: Played on World Series winners in 1912 and 1915. Probably was even better in Cleveland, but overall the lifetime average was .344 and he’s the all-time leader in doubles with 792.

Warren Spahn: 13 seasons of 20-plus wins and 363 lifetime.

Eddie Matthews: Slugging third baseman with four 40-homer seasons in the ’50s and 512 overall.

Hank Aaron: He’d have been the greatest ever to play here, though without that launching pad in Atlanta it’s doubtful he reaches 755 homers.

Babe Ruth’s Pitching Record: In his only three full seasons as a starter, all before turning 23, he was 18-8, 23-12, 24-13. It was 13-7 in 1918 during a season shortened to 126 games due to World War I and 9-5 as a part-time hurler a year later. He also was 5-0 in cameos with the Yankees including complete game wins in 1930 and 1933, a full 11 and 14 years after he stopped being a pitcher. The final numbers: 94-46, 2.28 ERA, 3-0 playing on three World Series winners between 1915 and 1918, where he threw 29.1 scoreless innings. Any doubt he’d have won 300? How about 350?

Red Ruffing: Owns the most lopsidedly opposite career records playing for two different teams in history. When all was said and done, he’d won 273 games, but in Boston through the ’20s he was 39-96 and after being the latest Hall of Fame hurler sent to the Yanks in that era it was 231-124 on Broadway.

Why dealers travel from Mass., NY and beyond to sell in NH

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

The sun has gone down in the Queen City, and the smell of cigarette smoke and the cries of small children fill the hallways of a Lake Avenue apartment building. Walls are scuffed, dirty and, in some places, vandalized with holes or writing. Stairways are poorly lit, and scraps of garbage litter the corners. Smeared on a wall at the top floor is what appears to be feces. Officer Steve Duquette says bed bugs are a problem here.

This building is one of a half-dozen places in Manchester that Duquette points to as regular trouble spots. Some even have gang ties.

On Sept. 3, 144 Lake Ave. — the building we’re walking through on this late-October evening — was one of three addresses raided by police, who arrested nine men and charged them with dealing drugs. Police seized about $15,000 worth of drugs.

Also raided that day was 452 Pine St., the inside of which is in similar shape to the Lake Avenue building.

“That place is an absolute hellhole,” Duquette said. “452 Pine has a ton of drugs. Like, a ridiculous amount of drugs.”

Duquette drives on to 137 Orange St., HIPPO | NOVEMBER 5 - 11, 2015 | PAGE 12

the site of a separate drug bust in June.

Why New Hampshire?

“This area over here, there’s always New Hampshire has long been seen as been issues,” Duquette said. “I’ve been an alluring market to drug dealers based here for domestics, drunks, unwanted in Massachusetts. They see the state as people, kids, people smelling weed.

That place is an absolute hellhole.

452 Pine has a ton of drugs. Like, a ridiculous amount of drugs.

Now, it seems, dealers from as far as New York have taken notice of the lucrative opportunity the Granite State presents.

Not only can they obtain the drug supply at a lower wholesale price in New York — essentially cutting out the middle-man in Lawrence — they can also trade drugs for guns, a commodity that can be either used by gangs or resold in New York or Massachusetts for three or four times the New Hampshire price, according to Manchester police. And, at least in one case, police allege that’s exactly what these New York gang members have done.

Gangs have had a presence in Manchester, Nashua and other cities in New Hampshire for years. But gangs from New York establishing a route to the Granite State to sell crack and, wherever possible, obtain guns, is a new development, according to FBI resident agent in charge Scott O’Donnell.

“This is a fairly new scheme that we saw,” O’Donnell said. “We know that it was an opportunity for some individuals to come up, sell drugs and get some guns. That is not something that we’ve seen since I’ve been here over the last two years [or that] my predecessor saw before me over his three-year stint, either. So that is something new.”

Police have made several recent arrests of drug dealers selling crack cocaine believed to be from New York. Some are alleged to have gang ties.

• On June 10, at 3:30 a.m., the Manchester police SWAT team descended upon 137 Orange St.’s apartment 5. They arrested Danzelle Robinson, Gregory Reynoso and Majestis Adams, each in their early 20s, for selling crack cocaine. At the apartment, police say they found four handguns, 48 grams of crack and more than $5,000 in cash. Police believe the men had occasionally exchanged the drugs for stolen guns, though they have not said what evidence they have to support that.

• Nearly three months after they were arrested, the raids on Sept. 3 took place.

One of the nine people arrested that afternoon was a man from the Bronx named Khamin Todd. He was found at the Pine Street apartment building. Police say they found the bulk of the drugs seized that night (76 grams of crack cocaine) in his unit and charged Todd with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.

• On the night of Sept. 28, just before eight o’clock, police pulled over a vehicle near the Manchester Wal-Mart based on information they received that the occupants of the car were selling crack. They arrested Rayshawn Wallace and Michael Irving, whom police said were both from the Bronx. A cavity search by police found Wallace was allegedly hiding nearly 10 grams of crack (in 29 separate baggies) in his buttocks, while Irving was allegedly hiding nearly 30 grams (in 79 baggies) in his buttocks.

Police have confirmed that the three men from the June raid and the two men arrested on Sept. 28 were part of the same Bronx-based gang, and records show they all operated out of the same Orange Street address.

According to court documents, police worked with a confidential informant, referred to in the affidavit as “IT,” to buy $200 worth of crack from the men with marked bills.

IT told his police handler that he’d known two of the men, Reynoso and Robinson, for about two months. Robinson went by the nickname “Digs,” while Reynoso was known as “Dirk.” According to IT, Adams, who went by “Fatboy,” was a new addition to the group. He had arrived on June 4, just a week before his arrest.

Robinson, or Digs, allegedly took the marked bills from IT and distributed it among the others. He then allegedly supplied IT with two baggies of crack while the other two men each supplied one baggie.

The four baggies later weighed in at 1.3 grams.

All three have been indicted on drug and

Heroin or crack?

Police say heroin (a former Bayer brand name for diacetylmorphine) and other opioids like oxycodone, morphine and fentanyl are powerful depressants that slow the body down and produce extreme euphoria by triggering the pleasure centers of the brain. Heroin and fentanyl are often available in powder form, melted and then injected with a syringe. They can also be snorted through the nose. Overdose occurs when individuals have taken enough of the drug to essentially stop their own involuntary breathing.

A finger of heroin (10 grams) sells for $350 in New Hampshire, according to police. Users can buy a portion for as low as $2. A single “hit” of heroin is about .2 grams on average.

The Drug Enforcement Administration lists heroin as a Schedule I drug (the most dangerous drugs), while fentanyl and oxycodone are Schedule II drugs.

Conversely, cocaine and crack are both euphoria-inducing stimulants.

Cocaine in powder form is snorted while crack, a rocky chemical base of cocaine, is smoked in a straight glass pipe. The high from crack is more intense but shorter-lived, making it potentially more addictive. Individuals rarely overdose on cocaine, unless the stimulant triggers a cardiac arrest.

A rock of crack (usually about .3 grams) sells for about $30-$80 in New Hampshire, according to the DEA. A gram of powder cocaine sells for about $70-$100.

The DEA lists cocaine as a Schedule II drug.

Penalties for possessing either heroin or cocaine (both Class B felonies) include 3.5 to 7 years in prison and up to a $25,000 fine for a first offense. If you’re convicted a second time for possession, it becomes a Class A felony with 7.5 to 15 years in prison and up to a $50,000 fine.

The penalties for sale and distribution of these drugs is far higher, with a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.

gun charges in Hillsborough County Superior Court. Robinson is out on bail while Adams and Reynoso remain incarcerated at Hillsborough County Jail. Adams’ trial is scheduled for January 2016 while Reynoso and Robinson have dispositional hearings scheduled for Nov. 10.

According to court documents related to Wallace’s case, MPD’s narcotics unit was already investigating Wallace, who went by the alias “Reggae.” Nearly three weeks before his arrest, police had arranged for IT to buy a quantity of crack from Wallace. Police say that purchase took place at 137 Orange St., the same address where Robinson, Reynoso and Adams had been arrested. IT told police he had known Wallace for months.

as New York gang members were arrested,” said Captain Mark Sanclemente, the head of Manchester’s Special Enforcement Division.

He downplays the phenomenon, saying the biggest issue is still opioids from Lawrence.

“It’s very minute in comparison to everything else that’s going on. It’s not really as big of an issue,” Sanclemente said.

As for Todd, police say he’s not connected to the other five men.

He had been a fugitive from New York on charges of second degree assault. Todd has a long criminal record, with several stints in New York state prisons since 2006 for selling and possessing crack, attempted assaults and an assault that NYDOC says involved slashing someone’s face. He’s currently incarcerated in Hillsborough County and is facing three drug-related felonies.

Repeated calls and emails to NYPD’s public information office were not returned.

Sanclemente said these men saw an opportunity to make money in New Hampshire.

Scott O’Donnell with the FBI echoes that, saying that while these men are gang members, their movement into the state is not an indication of some top-down directive by the gang at-large.

Which gang they represent remains a topic police are hesitant to discuss.

Julio Defigueiredo, the vice president of the East Coast Gang Investigators Association, says the Bloods are the most prominent street gang in the Bronx.

“Everybody in New York knows who these people are when they come out of prison. What gangs they’re affiliated with.

So, technically, you can’t do your business in the street because you’re gonna have a target on you,” Defigueiredo said. “So what do they do? They drive north.”

While Concord police report no presence of crack cocaine or drug dealers from New York, Lt. Kevin Rourke, the head of Nashua police’s narcotics unit, says there was a recent case of two men allegedly selling crack.

On Oct. 1, Andre Mckinney and Nasah Johnson were arrested in Nashua during a motor vehicle stop. Police said they found 50 grams of crack, 20 grams of MDMA, or ecstasy, and a .45 caliber handgun. Narcotics detectives believe they were operating in both Nashua and Manchester for at least two months prior to their arrest. Rourke says the crack was believed to be sourced from New York, however, the addresses supplied by the suspects were for New Jersey and Pennsylvania, respectively. Nashua police don’t know of any connection in the case either with street gangs or with the Bronx crew arrested in Manchester.

Criminal calculus

Sergeant Chris Sanders, the head of Manchester’s Street Crime Unit, says dealers are motivated by profit and direct access to a large supply is easy.

“Drug dealing is an open market,” Sanders said. “Anybody can get into it.”

Basic math helps explain why these gang

members are coming up here. IT told Manchester police that the Bronx crew was selling crack for $50 to $100. Looking at the purchases IT made, described by police in affidavits, it appears individual baggies contained about .3 grams that sold for $50 individually. Such was apparently the case when IT spent $200 to get four baggies. Later, when IT spent $100 to allegedly buy crack from Wallace, IT obtained enough baggies to total .9 grams — so there were likely three baggies of .3 grams each (a “rock” of crack is usually between .1 and .5 grams). This might suggest either that the price had gone down between June and September, or the dealers started a buy-two-get-one-free deal.

Either way, the drug dealers are likely making a profit and their profit margin will largely be determined by where they source their drugs. While Sanclemente doesn’t know for sure, he believes the guys from the Bronx were getting the crack in New York. “[The drugs are] probably from New York. Probably sourced out of New York and it’s coming up here,” Sanclemente said.

If that’s true, it would have given these guys an economic edge over drug traffickers getting their supply from Lawrence.

According to Timothy Desmond at the Drug Enforcement Agency, a kilogram of cocaine sells for $32,000 wholesale in New York. That’s compared to about $40,000 in Lawrence.

Even if the guys from the Bronx bought their drug supply from the retail market, it would be profitable. The DEA says a rock can retail for $5 to $50 in New York, depending on a number of factors. In Lawrence, a rock would sell for $20 to $80, prices only slightly higher than what’s seen in New Hampshire. The prices in New Hampshire are $30 to $80, so trafficking crack from Massachusetts to New Hampshire would have little to no chance for profit.

Given those margins, the alleged sale of all the crack seized from the guys from the Bronx plus the two guys arrested in Nashua (214 grams — enough to barely fill a cereal bowl) would’ve probably netted about $28,400 to $31,700, more than the median annual salary of a worker in the U.S.

Pipelines and crack pipes

So what makes the prices in New Hampshire so much higher?

“When we get up to New Hampshire, this is an end distribution and use point,” Scott O’Donnell with the FBI said.

In this sense, the pipeline for illicit narcotics is not dissimilar to the home heating oil distribution network. New Hampshire’s heating oil cost ranks the fourth most expensive in the country at $79.64 per month, according to the New Hampshire Business Review.

This is caused by a combination of high demand and the cost of distribution. The

Gun Trafficking The National Crime Information Center database is for guns that were lost, stolen, recovered or used in the commission of a crime. Of the 6,150 New Hampshire guns registered in the NCIC, 252 have been reported stolen so far in 2015. According to New Hampshire State Police, 373 guns were stolen in 2014.

Police say stolen guns are a valuable commodity to take in trade when selling drugs.

Defigueiredo says guns are useful to gangs in particular.

“A criminal street gang, for example, they may buy half a kilo of cocaine and they’ll spread it between their guys just to make a profit. … At the same time, they may steal guns. They may sell them or use them for their protection,” Defigueiredo said.

Plus, getting guns in New Hampshire is far easier than it is in New York or Massachusetts.

“The laws [in New Hampshire] are not like they are in Massachusetts. …

They’re more lax,” Defigueiredo said.

This has driven up the black market resale value in the states where guns are harder to come by.

Police say a gun obtained in New Hampshire can sell for three or four times the original price in Massachusetts or New York. And that interstate trafficking may be increasing.

“I have seen more cases where you see gang members from larger cities going to smaller cities or even towns to exchange drugs for firearms and usually stolen firearms. We’ve seen that in a few different cases,” said crime analyst Matthew Barter, referring to cases in the Northeast.

Barter points to a recent case when police and federal agents cracked down on a violent street gang based in New Haven, Connecticut called the Red Side Guerilla Brims.

Authorities say the RSGB had traded narcotics for firearms in Maine and distributed the guns to its members in New Haven.

U.S. Energy Information Administration says that in 2013, nearly half of New Hampshire households relied on heating oil. That’s compared to only about 6 percent nationally.

New Hampshire does not produce any of the fossil fuels it burns for energy or heat, so by the time the oil has traveled across multiple state lines, the price has risen tremendously.

The DEA says cocaine and heroin in the Northeast come predominantly from Mexico.

They’re driven up through the Southwestern border and travel across the interstate highway system before ending up in large cities like New York. From New York, the drugs make their way to the North Shore of Massachusetts, where cities like Lawrence act as another hub for drug distribution.

Police say that the retail price of heroin in New Hampshire is about twice what it costs to buy in Lawrence, so even if suppliers aren’t buying wholesale, there’s a reliable return on investment from just driving 30 miles north of Lawrence.

Fracking fentanyl

Much like natural gas, the price of heroin is dropping rapidly. In just two years, the price has more than halved.

A “finger” of heroin, which looks like a roll of coins and contains 10 grams, now sells for between $350 to $500 in Manchester, according to police and county prosecutor Brett Harpster. The retail price in Lawrence is as low as $180 for a finger, according to police.

Two years ago a finger sold for up to $1,000 in Manchester, $400 in Lawrence.

All too often, the heroin has been “cut” with an even more powerful opioid called fentanyl and this has made shooting up the drug far more deadly. The state medical examiner says the plurality of drug-related deaths (of which there were 321 statewide) involved fentanyl — about 44 percent — in 2014. So far this year, there have been more than 540 opioid overdoses in Manches-

Gang Landscape The cities of Manchester and Nashua are no strangers to gangs.

Even Concord and Rochester have been known to have gang activity, according to the FBI. But the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, which has helped fight gang-related crime since 2008, is only mandated to operate in Hillsborough County, where most of the gangs are concentrated.

“There certainly is the presence of gangs and gang activity throughout the state of New Hampshire. It is not the same as you would find in cities like New York, L.A., Chicago, Detroit,” O’Donnell said.

The FBI breaks down street gangs into a few categories like “neighborhood” street gangs, “national”

these people,” Defigueiredo said.

O’Donnell says gangs in New Hampshire are not carving out turf. Instead, they mostly operate as drug traffickers here, whereas in their home city, they may be involved in nightclubs and prostitution as well.

This is why, despite maintaining their gang identity so often defined by rivalry with other gangs and the violence that ensues between them, police say none of the shootings or violence taking place in the city has been linked back to these New York gangs so far.

“They’ll fight the territory in New York, but up here it’s just a business. You do your thing, I do my thing, don’t bother me,” Defigueiredo said.

Crack comeback

ter alone, according to the Manchester Fire Department. About 400 of those required emergency responders to administer the life-saving anti-overdose drug Narcan. But Manchester has already seen 65 deaths. Last year, the city saw 48 overdose deaths. Police say there were 304 overdose calls for service between Jan. 1 and Oct. 29, 2014, and they’ve already exceeded that number this year by more than 200.

Fentanyl is a synthetic drug that authorities say is cheaper for cartels to manufacture than it is to produce heroin, which requires vast poppy farms in Colombia and Afghanistan.

They believe drug traffickers are introducing fentanyl to spread the heroin supply further without reducing its potency. In many cases, though, it has proven too potent even for veteran heroin addicts. The drug is also being sold alone, and buyers often mistake it for heroin.

street gangs and outlaw motorcycle gangs. Neighborhood gangs are small, usually self-started and sometimes claim affiliation with national gangs (whether a legitimate connection exists or not).

O’Donnell says national street gangs known to be in Manchester include the Latin Kings and the Brotherhood of White Warriors. In Nashua, they see Folk Nation and Gangster Disciples. While some of these have national ties, O’Donnell says they aren’t directed by outside leadership.

“Neighborhood-based gangs are the bigger issue here in New Hampshire, versus the influence of the national-based gangs,” O’Donnell said.

Those neighborhood gangs include the homegrown crews that have been

Green Zone

Despite all the drugs that have entered the state lately, New Hampshire is still a market in which demand outpaces supply.

“If you can set up shop somewhere that nobody knows you and there’s demand, then you do it,” gang expert Julio Defigueiredo said. “Any business, any drug dealer will do the same thing.”

Defigueiredo is a sergeant in the Bristol County Sheriff's Department in Massachusetts and a special gang investigator for the past 13 years. He says not only does high demand exist in New Hampshire, but it’s unincorporated territory for gang members acting as drug dealers. Unlike Lawrence, Boston or New York, nobody has carved out defined territory to monopolize the drug sales there.

“From New Hampshire north is ‘green’ territory. There’s plenty of business for all

in the news lately, such as OTL and 180. Some have coined these “cul-dusac gangs.”

The two rival gangs have been the cause of gun violence and group melees over the past couple years.

OTL stands for Orange to Laurel streets, while 180 is a reference to the group’s gathering spot at 180 Main Street, the football field across from West High School.

Officer Matthew Barter, a Manchester police crime analyst, says that while their gang names refer to places, the gangs don’t have specific territory and members homes are scattered throughout the city.

But overall gang presence does appear to be growing. O’Donnell says this is partly driven by the prison system because many gang members join the gang while in prison for

Opioids remain Manchester’s foremost problem. The same is true in Nashua and Concord. But police say they’ve seen a lot more crack on the streets of Manchester this past year.

Sanclemente thinks the dealers selling crack are taking advantage of the epidemic by hiding under the massive shadow of heroin, fentanyl and oxycodone.

Harpster sees it too.

“Definitely, crack cocaine is coming back,” Harpster said.

Sanclemente and his counterpart in Nashua, Kevin Rourke, both say police have their hands full with heroin. That’s where most of their focus is, but, they say, that doesn’t mean they’re turning a blind eye to other drugs like crack.

So far this year, Manchester police have seized 324 grams of crack. Slightly more than half of that allegedly came from the six men from the Bronx. In 2014, police had seized 94 grams and 46 grams the year before that. The last time the numbers were this high was 2008.

Crack had been a popular drug in the

protection.

Even the county jails are seeing growth in gang presence. Brian Martineau, the deputy chief of security at Hillsborough County Jail, says he’s seen Gangster Disciples, Bloods, Crips, Latin Kings, BOWW, Trinitarios and others.

“Over the last year or so we’ve noticed an increase in the number of gangs in here,” Martineau said.

He says that of the 463 currently incarcerated in his jail, 68 have been identified as gang members. That’s about 15 percent.

At the state level, a little less than 5 percent of the more than 2,100 prison inmates have been identified as active gang members representing 16 different groups. Many of the gang members on the street are from out of state, according to Defigueiredo.

“In New England … we get it from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,” Defigueiredo said. “It’s growing by the day.”

While New Hampshire might still be in the so-called green zone, Harpster sees a day in the future when the drug epidemic and the influx of gang members will lead to more violent crime.

“I think that’s possible, absolutely.

With the amount of poverty, lack of stability in downtown Manchester in these areas and the amount of drugs in the city, I think it could spike [in] violence from gang-related members or non-gang-related members,” Harpster said.

He notes most drug dealers, even those not part of a street gang, have guns to protect themselves and their drug supply.

Arrest efforts have ramped up in recent months. Earlier this year, Manchester Police Chief Nick Willard, Director of the New Hampshire State Police Colonel Robert Quinn and Assistant Special Agent of the DEA Jon DeLena got together to figure out how to bring the fight to the drug dealers. What they came up with was a pooling of agency resources for a system of rapid investigations and quick arrests called Operation Granite Hammer.

Manchester police had begun a series of “sweep” operations under past Chief David Mara in 2014. They were the product of months-long investigations where warrants were obtained and alleged low-level drug dealers were rounded up, sometimes 30 at a time. They had catchy names like “Operation Fall Cleanup,” and “Operation Clean Sweep.” But Captain Sanclemente says Granite Hammer is a different animal.

“This is a little bit more involved,” Sanclemente said.

Instead of taking months to collect evidence and warrants, city and state police along with federal agents are acting on tips they learn at morning briefings, go out to investigate the suspects and arrest them as quickly as possible. And while they continue to target the low-level dealers, they’ve widened the net to include more mid-level sellers.

Granite Hammer operations began with a dragnet of 14 alleged dealers on Sept. 24 and followed up with roundups of 16 individuals on Oct. 1, seven individuals on

Oct. 8 and four more on Oct. 20. That’s 41 arrests in less than 30 days.

Narcotics officers are working “nonstop” and police hope this new partnership, which has no expiration date, will make it more difficult for dealers to do business in the Queen City.

Now, the state wants to replicate Manchester’s successes statewide as part of a laundry list of bills getting drafted in the legislature with bipartisan support. Another bill with broad support would increase the penalties for selling fentanyl to be more in line with the penalties for selling heroin. Efforts to prevent addiction focus on changing rules for prescribing opioids.

Meanwhile, in August, the White House announced $13.4 million in funding for High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas, $5 million of which will target heroin specifically. New England HIDTA has partnered with local police for most of the major drug dealer sweeps.

And it seems greater emphasis is being placed on treatment, prevention and recovery as $2.5 million is going toward the White House’s new Heroin Response Strategy, which will create partnerships between public safety officials and public health officials.

Recently in Manchester, local developers and business leaders announced they joined forces with the non-profit HOPE for NH Recovery to buy the old Hoitt’s Furniture building on Wilson Street. The recovery center would be located on the first floor and they plan to have a treatment provider like Serenity Place move into other parts of the building.

Police in New Hampshire have long said the state can’t arrest its way out of the drug epidemic. In economic terms, police can only focus on limiting supply. Observers say it’s up to the healthcare infrastructure to stem the demand. While treatment options remain limited, the state is moving to fund drug courts with a new bill that would set aside $2.5 million.

ARTS Theater nourishment The Majestic Theatre turns 25

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

When Robert Dionne founded the Majestic Theatre in 1990 with a few other Manchester West High School alumni, the local community theater scene was kind of bare.

“There was a lot less theater then than there is now,” Dionne said via phone Monday. “But now it seems like there’s a theater company on every corner, which is a great thing.”

The major players in Manchester at the time, he said, were the Palace Theatre and the New Thalian Players, but there were few other opportunities in the city, particularly for non-professionals. Early projects consisted of putting on original works and curating a historic Manchester theater museum. He was 21 when they produced their first show, a piece he’d written called School Days.

Twenty-five years later, the Majestic’s still pumping out 15 to 20 shows a year, more than any other community theater in the state.

Members celebrate with an event and auction Friday, Nov. 13, at Manchester Community College. In addition to raffles and a live and silent auction, there will be musical performances from a cast of about 50 children, teens and adults, with appearances from the Forever Plaid Majestic Theatre 25th Anniversary auction Where: Manchester Community College, 1066 Front St., Manchester When: Friday, Nov. 13, at 7 p.m.

Tickets: $20 Contact: 669-7469, majestictheatre.net

quartet (which Dionne performs in) and the Nunsense nuns. Current and past Majestic regulars will perform ensemble, duet and solo acts from a variety of Broadway shows, and the event ends with an audience sing-along. Eric Skoglund will emcee.

Skoglund has a special place in his heart for the theater; he auditioned for The Magic of Crime on the eve of his 26th birthday in 2002, his first play since high school.

He earned the lead role, and it gave him confidence to step back into the New Hampshire theater scene. Majestic audiences will know him from Cabaret in 2014.

“I’ve since worked with dozens of companies in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, but it all started with the Majestic,” Skoglund said via phone. “The

Majestic is a great launching pad for people interested in the stage and acting, and the audiences are very kind. They want you to succeed, and they always applaud. … Patrons who come and see the shows … are fiercely loyal, which is very nice as an actor.”

Dionne also credited community support for the theater’s 25-year life, which has gone through ups and downs.

In 2013, he received the “Matt Award” for Vision and Tenacity at the New Hampshire Theatre Awards for his work rebuilding the company after being forced to move from the former Ste. Marie School building, where it had been since 1995, to the 1,800-square-foot rented space in the Ted Herbert building, in 2011, due to stricter fire codes that required a sprinkler system, which the company couldn’t afford.

It’s here where Majestic offices, rehearsals and educational programs take place today, while productions happen at the the Executive Court Banquet Facility and the Derry Opera House. Dionne said he’d love to be able to own a theater again — the Ste. Marie School building had a theater space, while Ted Herbert does not — but he said he’s incredibly thankful to patrons, some of whom have been attending Majestic productions for 25 years.

“Our biggest challenge moving forward is the financial piece,” Dionne said.

“We’re not a multi-million-dollar company. We do a tremendous amount of community productions with the support of our community, our patrons and our sponsors.”

Today, he and Development Director Karen Bessette are the only full-time employees. Of the original staff, it’s just him and technical director and executive board member Matthew Morin.

Dionne never thought this would become his full-time job, but it became necessary, if the company was to grow, in 2001, which is when he left his music teaching job in Hampstead. “[In the beginning], the Majestic, pretty much, was just a bunch of friends who would come together during the summer to put on productions,” Dionne said.

“But I felt that what the Majestic Theatre was doing for the community was a very important thing. … Theater is not a fringe benefit. It’s a necessity. You could give someone a place to live, but if there’s nothing else that helps nourish their soul — whether it be theater, a sports team, whatever — they’re empty inside. We kind of give that nourishment that makes life that much better.”

It’s the first of what Artistic Director Joel Mercier and Producing Director Walter Pineault hope will be an ongoing series.

“Sometimes readings can be very stark, so our goal was to break down the formality of it,” Pineault said in a press release. “We believe it will create a laid-back atmosphere

New old blood at MCMS Judy Teehan steps up as executive director

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

When Manchester Community Music School CEO Billie Tooley announced her resignation due to family matters in September, the school’s former education director, Judy Teehan, stepped up, bringing with her 11 years of MCMS experience.

Teehan’s new position is executive director, a “more appropriate title” for the institution, Board of Directors Chair Dan Scanlon said via phone last week. The board liked that Teehan had been with the school for so long, and Teehan said she was in a good place to give the job the attention it deserved.

“I didn’t feel that way before. My kids were younger,” she said during a recent interview at an empty school recital hall a day after the news went public. “To lead the school, it’s like being on call all the time. Even though the hours aren’t a whole lot different, the commitment is very different.”

Teehan studied music therapy as an p.m.; Sun., Nov. 15, at 2 p.m.; Fri., Nov. 20, at 7 p.m.; Sat., Nov. 21, at 2 and 7 p.m.; Sun., Nov. 22, at 2 p.m. Janice B. Streeter Theater, 14 Court St., Nashua. $12-$17. Call 8867000, visit peacockplayers.org.

relationships with staff, students and community families.

She’s an Atkinson resident, suzuki flute teacher and a musician herself. Her background is different from past CEOs’ — more education-, less fundraisingbased — but she’s happy with the board’s decision because she feels she really understands the school’s mission.

“Looking at what the school needs, now is not the time to bring in a new person. I think what the school needs is to capitalize on what we have, because what we have is good,” she said.

The right people to further the school’s mission lie within the organization already, she said; she hopes to provide more professional development opportunities for staff and get feedback from them as well, in a more inclusionary model of working. She thinks it’s important to continue to grow what’s already proven successful, like the MCMS music therapy program and the youth ensemble program, which is the only one in the state, by relying on people on the inside.

within. That means in many capacities, not just administrative-wise, but within our faculty,” she said. “Our faculty is really the driving force of the school. It’s a matter of listening and collecting information from all kinds of sources.”

She said she’s learned a lot from watching former CEOs Suzanne Barr, Jeanine Tousignant and Billie Tooley in action, each of whom brought in something different.

“Suzanne … had a wonderful connection and warmth with the families here at the school,” she said. “Jeanine really brought a sense of strategy and … a very clean, organized, efficient manner of working. … And what Billie did in her short time here, she had a great energy for reaching out and connecting with other organizations.”

Teehan plans to continue to practice, play and teach, even in this new high-demand position.

“It’s like going to the gym. You know, certain things you have to make time for,” she said. “I always make time for practicing and teaching. I love surrounding myself with a music community for work.”

A handful of Seacoast actors, writers and notable personalities are doing what your high school self would rather die than do: they’re reading their worst, most embarrassing and awkward diary and journal entries onstage on Friday, Nov. 6, at 8 p.m., at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre, 125 Bow St., Portsmouth, in round 5 of I Could Just Diary: Teen Angst, Live Onstage! The show highlights 15 locals and is part of the company’s Red Light alternative performing series.

• New art gallery in downtown Portsmouth: It’s called Valerie’s Gallery, and if it sounds familiar, it’s because its older sister lives in Newburyport, Mass. Both showcase functional and decorative hand-crafted artful objects made by more than 90 different American (though mostly New England) artists, from artisan-made jewelry and functional pottery to blown glass and fine art.

Owner Valerie Stainton opens the New Hampshire shop, 117 Market St., Portsmouth, officially on Friday, Nov. 6, during Portsmouth’s monthly Art Round Town, from 5 to 8 p.m. During this grand-opening event, Rosemary Conroy of Weare is the featured artist and will present her paintings showcasing wild animals in all their beauty.

“Growing up in New Hampshire, Portsmouth has been on my mind since opening our first shop, so it is great to grow our business with a second shop here. I’m looking forward to being part of the community in Portsmouth. We have a beautiful spot with a river view,” Stainton said in a press release. Visit valeriesgalleries.com.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE A day on the runway

Race and aviation activities at the airport

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Concord Municipal Airport is giving runners, walkers and aviation enthusiasts run of the runways for the first annual 5K On the Runway & Aviation Day on Saturday, Nov. 7. The event, hosted by the Granite State Airport Management Association, will feature a 5K race, food vendors, exhibitors and aviation activities for all ages.

“It’s a controlled space a lot of people don’t have access to, so it’s very rare that the general public gets to go on the runway,” said Erik Strand, GSAMA event chairman. “It’s kind of a once-ina-lifetime opportunity to run a 5K at an airport.”

Runway 5K races are held at airports all over the country, but this will be the first one held in New Hampshire.

The Aviation Day ongoing festivities, including food vendors, exhibitors, demonstrations and interactive aviation activities hosted by various groups, will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m.

For kids, there will be handson projects like building wooden GSAMA’s First Annual 5K On the Runway & Aviation Day Where: Concord Municipal Airport, 71 Airport Road, Concord When: Saturday, Nov. 7, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., 5K at 10 a.m.

Cost: Free admission. 5K registration is $30 in advance, $35 race day Visit: gsama.org

tronic systems for things like communication and navigation, function in an aircraft, as well as static displays of aircraft and emergency equipment.

“The whole idea is to just get people to the airport, show them what it’s all about … and [encourage] more interest in aviation and STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Math] education,” Strand said.

A kids’ fun run for ages 10 and under will held at 9:45 a.m., followed by the 5K at 10 a.m. The race course consists entirely of runways and taxiways. Awards will be given for the top three male and female runners in each 10-year age category.

“It’s unlike your traditional course where there are many ups and downs,” he said. “The runway has, I would say, less than a 1-percent gradient, so it’s very, very flat and wide open. It’s going to be a very fast race.”

Registration costs $30 online in advance and $35 the day of the race. T-shirts are available for all participants. The kids’ fun run is free, but registration is required.

While admission to the Aviation Day activities is free, attendees are asked to bring a nonperishable food item for the Capital Region Food Program’s 42nd Annual Holiday Food Basket Project, which helps provide Concord-area families with food for holiday meals.

IN/OUT THE GARDENING GUY

What I learned this summer Lessons in corn, watermelon and more

lots of plants. I won’t bother to do it again.

This past winter I read that tomatoes produce better if you grow them without added fertilizer. In the past I’ve always added both compost and bagged organic fertilizer in each planting hole. This year I did not add fertilizer and, as predicted, did not get those 6-foot-tall plants I am used to. I got smaller plants, but they produced smaller loads of tomatoes, too.

Next year I will use fertilizer again but maybe less than the handful I usually toss in the planting hole.

I don’t normally grow celery. It tends to be tough and stringy and attracts slugs. Instead I grow celery root, which is also called celeriac. Celeriac is a related plant that produces a big bulb-like root that tastes like celery when grated into soups and stews. I start it by seed in March, and grow it in full sun in soil that does not dry out.

This year I forgot to plant any seeds, so I bought two six-packs of started plants. But one of the six-packs was celery, not celeriac. I didn’t notice the difference until mid-summer, as the leaves are similar. The celery was better than I had remembered: not the big stalks one finds at the grocery store, but reasonably sized and not too stringy. And the slugs? They ate some, but were not awful. What did I learn from this? Always start your own seeds if you want to be sure to get what you want.

Every year is different, and every year I learn from my mistakes and experiments.

By Henry Homeyer

listings@hippopress.com

As I calculate it, I’ve been gardening for 66 years — or at least hanging out in gardens.

I have memories of being in the garden with my grandfather when I was 3. Technically I was “helping” Grampy, though my role was probably limited to things like tossing weeds into his wheelbarrow. Still, I’ve spent a lot of time in the garden since then. And each year I still learn plenty in the garden. Let’s look at what I learned this year.

I haven’t grown sweet corn often, but these last two years I’ve had the use of a farmer’s field to grow corn, potatoes, watermelons, pumpkins and more.

Farmers say corn is a “heavy feeder” and they give it plenty of nitrogen, one of the three nutrients found in chemical fertilizers. Nitrogen drives green growth and makes plants get big, fast. Inadvertently I did an experiment with my corn: half got supplemental nitrogen, half did not. It wasn’t a planned experiment: I had some bagged organic fertilizer, one called Pro-Gro, and gave it to half my corn. Then I ran out of fertilizer and said to myself, “This is good rich soil, I’m not going to go back home (6 miles from the field) to get more fertilizer. It’ll be fine.”

The difference was dramatic: the corn that got fertilizer was big and produced nice corn.

The other? Scrawny with small ears barely worth picking. Even those dang raccoons ignored it, mostly.

I had not grown watermelon in 30 years, as I had decided that I live too far north to make versalist Church, 20 Elm St., Milford. See uucm.org. Email uucm1870@gmail.com.

it worthwhile. But our local farmstand grows nice small watermelons, and since I had the space, I decided to give some a try. I bought a four-pack of plants in May, planted them in early June, and got a couple of watermelons from each plant.

Here’s what I learned: watermelons don’t take up much space, at least not the mini-melons. My melon sent out two vines each, and I directed them in opposite directions, running down the row. They grew up to 20 feet, but the leaves were relatively small, and they just went by other plants in the row without troubling them. That meant that I found melons in with the summer squash, but I didn’t mind.

Deciding when to pick the watermelons was, at first, challenging. The variety I grew (probably one called Sugar Baby) produced nice 6- to 8-inch watermelons. I was told by

a local farmer that ripe watermelons should sound hollow when tapped. The first one I picked was pink inside, not red, and clearly needed more time on the vine. We ate it anyway. But I learned to be patient. Watermelons don’t go mushy if you don’t pick them, or get tough and bitter. They just get sweeter, and wait patiently for you. The rest were all wonderful, and I shall grow them again.

A friend visited Monticello last year and bought me some seeds, including sesame seeds. I planted some indoors last spring, and planted them in the ground in early June. I remember from my Peace Corps days in West Africa that sesame was a big plant, so I left plenty of space for these. I didn’t need to.

I recently acquired this gift and thought with the Old Man in the Mountain being no longer around that maybe you could let me know of its value. It’s a pin that is 1 1/2” x 1” and is in really nice shape for its age.

Can you give me any information?

Karen from Hooksett Dear Karen, What a nice pin and piece of New Hampshire history as well.

Your pin is one of many different souvenirs of the Old Man that have been produced from when it was first discovered in the early 1800s to present day. There are pictures, figures, postcards, pins (like yours) and more. Your pin is an older souvenir, but even now, though the Old Man has been gone since 2003, souvenirs are still being produced.

Values on Old Man memorabilia depend on whether they are common, easy-to-find pieces or more rare. What the item is and its condition matters too. Your pin (early 1900s) in the condition it’s in is in the $100 range. Even though it was probably a mass-produced item at the time, it’s in good condition and is now probably a harder item to find.

I have seen hundreds of different pieces of the Old Man in the Mountain memoraUniversity under the supervision of faculty will perform the following tests free of charge: body mass index, blood pressure check, lab work review, glucose, A1C, cholesterol, skin cancer check, pulmonary function and medication reconciliation.

Crafty shopping

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

If you’re on the hunt for unique Christmas gifts this year, it’s not too early to start perusing craft fairs. There are dozens of them happening throughout November. Most just have vendors, but some feature extras like refreshments, kids’ activities and raffles and more.

One such fair is the Snowman Craft Fair put on by Bow Mills United Methodist Church in Bow. There, each guest is welcomed with a free Christmas ornament (as long as they last). Rooms throughout the church are filled with handmade items like crocheted baby blankets, catnip-filled cat toys and beds, decorated snow-measuring sticks and more.

The themed gift baskets are especially

popular.

“We’re up to 82 baskets this year,” fair coordinator Joan Day said. “There’s pet baskets, New Hampshire baskets, Frozen baskets. … There’s one with two plush animals — a donkey and an elephant. We called it the bipartisan basket.”

The fair also features a cookie walk, silent auction, kids’ ornament-decorating station and cookie decorating table. Breakfast refreshments are available from 9 to 10:30 a.m., and lunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

If you decide to attend, Day says don’t underestimate the crowds.

“It’s mobbed first thing in the morning,” she said. “There’ll be a line of people at the door waiting for nine o’clock because they want to be the first to look at the items. … I’d say we get close to 400 people for the day.”

IN/OUT CAR TALK

High-mileage Subaru versus lower-mileage Jeep Dear Car Talk: I love, love, love your show and column.

I just inherited a 2006 Jeep Commander with 60,000 miles on it.

It’s in almost mint

By Ray Magliozzi condition. But I have been driving a 2003 Subaru Forester since buying it new in 2002. It has 150,000 miles. It’s had expensive repairs in the past couple of years, but it seems OK now.

Would you sell the Subaru and keep the Jeep, or keep the Subaru and sell the Jeep? Someone told me that after 1995, Jeep finally got its act together and made good cars.

Is that true? The gas mileage on the Jeep is pretty disgusting, but I don’t drive more than 5,000 miles per year.

I would so appreciate your advice.

Thanks. — Cherie Keep the Jeep, Cherie.

Jeeps are better than they were, even though they’re still not great in terms of reliability.

However, that Subaru with 150,000

HIPPO | NOVEMBER 5 - 11, 2015 | PAGE 34

miles is almost certain to become unreliable in the near future; 150,000 is a lot of miles. And the fact that it “seems OK now” means it’s the perfect time to sell it!

At 150,000 or perhaps a bit earlier, most Subarus have engine seals that are leaking oil, leaking head gaskets, a water pump that needs replacing, and certainly a timing belt that has to be changed.

If you haven’t done all of that stuff yet, you’re looking at $2,500 in the near future.

Plus, at that age, lots of stuff can go wrong, unpredictably. Your transmission may develop issues. Your suspension, exhaust and brake components will be rusting out or failing. And this is the age at which a car tries to send its owner little SOS messages. Like when the rearview mirror falls off, or the glove box stops closing.

While the Jeep is not the most reliable car built, it has only 60,000 miles on it.

So it’s far more likely to last you many years.

And you’re right that the Jeep’s mileage is awful. But since you’re driving only 5,000 miles a year, it’s less of an issue, and an expense, than if you drove

20,000 miles a year.

If you want another opinion (and after writing to Car Talk, I don’t blame you), take both cars to a mechanic you trust, and ask him to check them out as if they were used cars that you were thinking of purchasing.

He’ll check everything and give you a full report on what he finds. Then you can use that information to make an informed decision.

I can tell you’re emotionally attached to your old Subaru.

But based on mileage alone, I’m guessing judges would pick the Jeep in a unanimous decision.

But whatever you decide, put aside the proceeds from the sale of one car to pay for future repairs on the other.

Then you’ll be covered no matter what you do.

Dear Car Talk: I have a ‘97 VW Jetta that doesn’t require the key to be in the ignition for the radio and CD player to work, or for the seatbelt alarm to go off. When it was newer, nothing would turn on without the key in the ignition. Why all the laxness now? — Lisa

VWs were famous for that in the old days, Lisa. They were designed so you could play the radio without having the key in the ignition.

I think the head of VW’s replacementbattery sales division came up with that idea.

I can’t remember when they finally changed it — it might have been prior to 1997.

But in any case, your seat-belt warning chime shouldn’t be coming on with the ignition off.

That tells me that the problem is your ignition switch, which is worn out. VWs also were famous for needing ignition switches.

It’s not the ignition lock, where you insert your key; it’s the switch behind the lock that gets turned.

It’s easy and relatively inexpensive to replace: It’ll probably cost you $100 or less.

And then you can sit in your car for hours, contemplating the sheer beauty of the 1997 Jetta, without having to listen to that darn ding-ding-ding anymore.

Good luck, Lisa.

FOOD Destination: spirits

Rare spirits showcase draws connoisseurs to NH

By Allie Ginwala

News from the local food scene

aginwala@hippopress.com

By Allie Ginwala

Reaching just shy of the mark last year, the New Hampshire Liquor Commission hopes to surpass 1,000 attendees at the third annual Distiller’s Showcase in Manchester on Thursday, Nov. 12.

“We had 375 the first year, last year 950 and [we’re] hoping to break 1,000 this year,” NHLC spirits specialist Mark Roy said in a phone interview.

The showcase, inspired by the annual winter wine spectacular during the NHLC’s annual Wine Week, gives guests the chance to sample from over 400 premium spirits from local, national and international distilleries.

The focus is on premium products, which they set as anything priced above $15.99.

“Our highest product this year is $299.99,” Roy said.

The showcase in Manchester is one of the largest of its kind in New England, becoming a regional destination for spirits connoisseurs.

“We certainly had people that have traveled from outside the state to come to this event,” Roy said.

Before Andy Harthcock, owner/distiller of Djinn Spirits in Nashua, became one of the faces behind the tables, he attended the showcase as a regular participant.

“This is certainly the highlight of the year because it’s all about spirits, and there is such a huge array of high-quality spirits. … It’s a whole lot of fun to see what’s going on in the industry and check out trends and taste things that you would never have an opportunity to taste,” he said in a phone interview.

Now as one of the spirits producers — showcasing his white whiskey, reserve whiskey, vapor-infused gin, Krupnik spiced honey liqueur and perhaps an early taster

• Farewell to Florence’s: After 26 years of business, Florence’s Restaurant (456 D.W. Hwy., Merrimack, 424-4010, florencesitalian.com) will close its doors on Saturday, Nov. 7. “I’ve done almost 19 years where I am, and this is my choice to close,” owner Florence Foti-Smokler told the Hippo. She first opened the casual Italian dining restaurant at another location on D.W. Highway in 1989. “It’s been a great turn, and I really appreciate the people,” she said. “It’s been a great family restaurant. I’ve had mothers, daughters, sons.

I’ve gone through generations of [families] as regular customers.” Discussions about another restaurant filling the soon-to-bevacant space are in the works but are yet to be confirmed.

• Cupcake champ: For the second year in a row, Benson’s Bakery of Hudson was named “best cupcake” at Clash of the Cupcakes, an annual event that supports Southern New Hampshire Services’ Retired and Senior Volunteer Program. The winning cupcake was a bourbon butterbeer cupcake, made with a honey bourbon chocolate cake, butterscotch ganache filling and caramel bourbon buttercream.

• Beverage releases: Djinn Spirits (2 Townsend West, Suite 9, Nashua, djinnspirits.com) celebrates its second anniversary on Saturday, Nov. 21, with the release of its first single malt whiskey, the third installment of the Beat 3 line. Fermented and distilled in small batches, it was aged for one year in small charred oak barrels.

Single malt whiskey is a small release, available for tasting and purchase at the distillery starting Nov. 21. Stoneface Brewing Co. (436 Shattuck Way, Unit 6, Newington) announced in a press release that Mozaccalypse Double IPA is now available for growlers and bottles. Full of tropical and fruity notes, the double dry-hopped beer is made with Mosaic and Azzaca hops. See stonefacebrewing.com.

• A different way of dining: Learn what it’s like to dine without sight at the New Hampshire Association for the Blind’s Dining in the Dark, a unique dinner experience hosted by The Grotto at Giuseppe’s Ristorante (312 D.W.

bottle of Djinn’s new single malt whiskey — Harthcock sees it almost as a homecoming and chance to interact with the other New Hampshire distilleries. This year’s showcase will have a strong Granite State presence with Sea Hagg Distillery, Flag Hill Distillery, Tall Ship Distillery and Smoky Quartz Distillery attending.

“There has been a huge increase in craft and local distilleries, and it definitely has an effect on the market,” Roy said. “There’s quite a range even here in New Hampshire and [people] think it’s a small market, but with the distilleries we do have [everything] from rums and liqueurs to aged whiskey and vodka, so we’ve got the gamut of products priced right here.”

Roy anticipates that, as in previous years, brown spirits will be the most popular category, since this time of year lends itself well to sipping bourbon or whiskey, and there’s been a trend in customers seeking out limited, small batches.

Many of the brands will be instantly recognizable, like Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Crown Royale, but given the sheer volume, guests will stumble upon brands they’ve never heard of too. “[It’s] certainly the best opportunity to get out and taste some products you might not typically take off the shelf,” Roy said.

particular scotch but haven’t taken the plunge and made the $125-a-bottle investment. At the showcase you can taste and compare to make more informed purchases in the future.

“There are certain people who are very well-educated and have a well-developed palate,” Harthcock said. “The people that come to the show are definitely interested in the back story and what goes into the making of different [products].”

Aiding the angle of a well-rounded spirits event, half hour seminars with classroomstyle tables and open doors will be held throughout the evening covering everything from mixology to product education. This year’s presenters include mixologist Lexi Leguerre, John O’Conell of West Cork Distillers from West Cork Irish Whiskey, Eve Alintuck of Barrow’s Intense Ginger Liqueur and Parker Reed, lead blender from High West Distillery.

Other features include the chance to bid on three bottles of 23-year Pappy Van Winkle bourbon, a silent auction and raffles, and menu samples from Campo Enoteca, Wild Rover Pub, Amphora, Triolo’s Bakery, Coffee by Design, Fresh Market and more. Using a mobile app, guests can purchase products with a 15-percent discount the night of the showcase and pick them up at a state liquor store. The event benefits the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire.

Go on a culinary adventure without spending a fortune during Restaurant Week Portsmouth & the Seacoast, beginning Thursday, Nov. 5, and continuing through Saturday, Nov. 14.

“I think for some folks it’s the opportunity to kind of do a little litmus test or dip a toe in with an [abridged] menu at a fantastic price point,” Row 34 General Manager Molly Woodhouse said in a phone interview. “It’s a nice way to test ride a dinner experience.”

Row 34 in Portsmouth is one of the new restaurants joining in this year, along with Louie’s, Margaritas Mexican Restaurant, Franklin Oyster House and Paddy’s American Grille.

Row 34 opened in May and will participate for lunch, offering selections like butternut squash soup, bibb salad, grilled shrimp toast, tuna melt, fish tacos with mango salsa and fresno chili, butterscotch pudding and chocolate mousse.

Woodhouse said their Restaurant Week lunch menu was inspired by dishes one would normally find at Row 34, the idea being that as a new restaurant they want folks to see what they can enjoy if they were to come back.

“It’s a great way for people that aren’t really Portsmouth residents … to experience a lot of new places,” she said.

Each year the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce hosts two Restaurant Weeks, one in the spring and one in the fall, to encourage residents and out-of-towners to eat out.

“After summer has ended [and] before Thanksgiving and the holiday season it’s really slow for restaurants and shops downtown so we get people to eat and spend the

night,” Amanda Beaulieu, events coordinator for the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce, said in a phone interview. “We decided it was so successful for one time a year we made it twice.”

This fall 47 restaurants from Portsmouth, Dover, Hampton, Rye, New Castle, Exeter, Kittery, Maine, and York, Maine, will participate.

“We’ve never hit that 50 mark, but we’re always so close,” she said. “We’ll definitely celebrate when that happens.”

Each restaurant elects to participate for lunch, dinner or both and presents a threecourse meal that’s $16.95 for lunch or $29.95 for dinner. As to what you’ll find on each menu, Beaulieu said that’s left to the restaurants.

“We leave it in the restaurant’s hands because every restaurant is so different and it’s fun to see what they come up with,” she said.

One place may do a traditional salad, entree and dessert for the three courses, while another may have five small drink samples for an appetizer and a fishcake sandwich for an entree — though it seems many of the restaurants are adhering to the season, serving dishes with pumpkin and butternut squash. The menus are uploaded in advance so diners can plot out their meals.

“There are over 70,000 people coming into Portsmouth for the week,” Beaulieu said. “People really look forward to it. We have a lot of followers, which is great.”

For businesses like Johnson Golden Harvest in Hooksett, NH Open Doors comes at exactly the right time.

“People do assume that we’re going to close [or] that we are closed already, so it’s a great way to get our name out there,” owner Karen Johnson said in a phone interview.

er items one might find at a farmers market.

Participating in NH Open Doors for the first time this year, Johnson is excited by the prospect of meeting new customers and spreading the word about what they do. Throughout the weekend they’ll have a selection of samples of things like maple syrup, honey and salsa.

But the timing of NH Open Doors is good for all 300 participants (among 160 locations statewide), which include winemakers, brewers, farmers, artisans and craftspeople.

The idea is to hold the two-day event after foliage has passed its peak and Halloween madness has died down, but before the Thanksgiving rush sets in. That way people can get a jump on holiday shopping and still have time to interact with local producers.

“It’s a shopping and a touring event ... and it’s also a great way for people to explore,” Carol Fusaro, VP at Sullivan Creative, said in a phone interview. “You maybe lived in New Hampshire for a long time but haven’t explored some … parts, so it gives you a reason to go and explore.”

Guests can come at the weekend in one of two ways. One is to pick a region, say Dartmouth-Sunapee, and visit all of the participating venues. That way folks can explore regions of the state they may be less familiar with and have a varied weekend of shopping. Another option is to tour by category. If pottery and ceramics or maple syrup

“What we’re trying to do is showcase … all the great things [in the state],” Fusaro said. “You get to meet New Hampshire people doing what they do best … it’s a nice way to interact directly with the makers or producers.”

Presented by the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, the event began as an open studio tour of juried league members in 2005, but was renamed to NH Open Doors when NH Made became a partner to help encompass a broader range of products.

“We have a website that lists all the participants and the activities and people can go online and create their own self-guided tour,” Fusaro said. “One thing we do offer is suggested itineraries and these are submitted by the participants themselves. Each of the locations will offer something.”

Wine tastings, jam and jelly making demos and smokehouse tours, for example, will all be listed so guests can get to certain venues at the right time.

A graduate of Johnson and Wales’ culinary school, Ardagna enjoys interacting with the customers, helping them make or pick out a meal, and he takes immense gratification from knowing that many families will sit down for their holiday dinners and appreciate his work.

Now Available at the Bedford Village Inn

La Mere Marianne, a single batch culinary beer by Able Ebenezer Brewing Company + BVI kitchen Back in the spring, Able Ebenezer Brewing Company and the Bedford Village Inn began to work on a project. The idea was to combine the culinary expertise of an award-winning kitchen with the art & science of beer design into a single product; an ale unlike anything tasted before.

The final design brings malts and hops together with fresh, locally harvested apples, brown butter and select spices prepared in BVI's kitchen. What results is a fragrant, smooth, creamy and savory ale that is well-balanced on all fronts, and sits at a sessionable 5% ABV. As you would expect, she pairs beautifully with a wide range of meals.

One batch - and one batch only - of La Mére Marianne has been produced; she is sure to go quickly. With that, we give our thanks to the fine people at BVI for the opportunity. We all look forward sharing this endeavor with you. Cheers.

Almond milk My new thing is almond milk. I’d seen it and heard about it but had never tried it until this summer. Now, I use it every single day.

Almond milk has 50 percent more calcium per serving than skim milk, half the calories and no sneaky added sugars (if you buy unsweetened original). It’s a fantastic alternative to dairy milk for those who are sensitive to lactose or just looking for a healthier option.

It’s even better than most soy milks, since it’s challenging to find soy milk that’s made from unprocessed soybeans.

Yet, as with practically everything on our shelves, there are hidden things to look for. Carrageenan, a binding protein derived from seaweed, is often present and should be avoided by people with digestive or gut issues. A popular brand, Almond Breeze, Almond Milk

Soak almonds in bowl (cover with an inch of water) overnight or up to 2 days. Cover with cloth.

Drain and rinse the almonds.

Place almonds and 2 cups of water in blender and blend at high speed for 2 minutes.

Strain the mixture by placing a cheesecloth or a nut bag over a strainer and pouring mixture through it. Then gather or bag the almond milk and twist, straining out last cups of the milk.

Store almond milk for up to two days in your fridge.

• KIDS CAN COOK Kids ages 8 to 12 make a healthy and modified holiday good. Fri., Nov. 13, 20, Dec. 4, 11, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Heights Community Center, 14 Canterbury Road, Concord. $70 for residents. Visit concordnh.gov.

Now taking orders for FRESH Turkeys! was recently sued for containing little to no almonds and misleading the public. Basically, almond milk can be mostly water and seaweed filler if you’re not careful.

A tried and true way to avoid this is to make your own almond milk! It’s simple and delicious and gives you the peace of mind of knowing that what you’re putting in your body is real. And that is a feeling worth working for these days. Below are step-by-step instructions for making your own almond milk and one of my favorite smoothie recipes.

— Allison Willson Dudas My Favorite Smoothie

8 ounces almond milk 1 big handful of fresh spinach ¼ cup peanut butter (all natural, organic) ½ banana 1 cup frozen blueberries Throw almond milk and spinach in a blender and blend until smooth. This ensures the greens get properly pureed.

Then, add remaining ingredients and blend. Enjoy!

POP CULTURE

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Chapin Sisters, Today’s Not Yesterday (Lake Bottom Records)

These privileged Brooklyn girls (their dad is Tom Chapin and their uncle was the Harry of “Cat’s in the Cradle” fame) are back to their easy-listening quirk-cowpunk-folk formula after their curious all-covers A Date With the Everly Brothers album of 2013.

Their initially nondescript songs can be growers, such as this album’s “Chasing the Rain,” comprised of familiar hook lines that have been sewn together from old pop tunes you know you’ve heard somewhere; it’s the same sort of songwriting ability KT Tunstall used to have, though intended for country-fied hipsters. The Napoleon Dynamite-style organ on “Child” is particularly annoying if you’re not a big fan of wimp-rock, while “Trees Fall Around” sounds like an abandoned Lady Antebellum outtake until the hooky ending comes in to salvage it. Fans of Indigo Girls and Nanci Griffith alike will find plenty to like about this stuff. A — Eric W. Saeger Enya, Dark Sky Island (Warner Records)

I have to be honest that it’s a real ego-jack to preview this one, being that I’ve spent a lot of time in both halves of the world that could be considered Enya’s bread-and-butter crossover market, comprising that odd marriage of the wicca/ren-faire space and the yoga/ new-age people. I suppose everyone has their impressions of this ridiculously private Irish lady, as do I (most, but not all, of her music is welcome when I’m downward-dogging or debating the usefulness of pyramids and crystals with people who need that stuff to hang on to in this often crappy world). The stuff I don’t like is her po-faced, mawkish bum-outs, such as this album’s minor-key lullaby waltz “So I Could Find My Way,” but it’s part of the brand, and mostly, yeah, her stuff is astounding, slowmo carousels of incredibly dreamlike sounds (here, “The Forge of the Angels” will make you think of steady-as-she-goes downtime on Baron Munchausen’s airship) laid next to uniquely angelic hymns (“Sancta Maria”). The lady isn’t infallible these days — “I Could Never Say Goodbye” is an embarrassing mishmash of familiar pop melodies, mostly Elvis’ “I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You.” It’s troubling that she let that one slip past, but aside from that — well, jeez, it’s another fantastic Enya record full of depthlessly spiritual music for agnostics and evangelicals alike. A — Eric W. Saeger

A Room With A View, Inside & Out Crafting America’s Luxury Gas Fireplaces

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases

• Ha ha, look, it’s blues legend and reality TV grifter Cee Lo Green with Heart Blanche, his new LP for holiday greed — see what he did with that title there? Now that he’s been exposed as someone who’s as big a buffoonish dingbat as Hulk Hogan and Seinfeld’s Kramer after power-tweeting his stupidity for the universe to see, you and I can laugh over a sixer of Red Bull, because TBS enjoys canceling TV shows put out by dingbats, and all that’s left on the subject of Cee Lo, a.k.a. Gnarls, is making fun of his new album. Should we? Sure, let’s. “Music To My Soul” is the single, a down-tempo chill single with a Smoky Robinson feel. The video looks like it’s supposed to be sexy footage of a New Orleans funeral, even though Gnarls here is from Atlanta. A coffin, a hearse and then Cee Lo singing about what a tough life he’s had or whatever. This song doesn’t suck, but neener, Cee Lo, you’re canceled by TBS. • Wizened old Gandalf lookalikes One Direction were able to find a few drunken-bum songwriters laying around the Tin Pan Alley who were willing to sell their tunes cheap, and so One Direction has a new album, Made in the A.M. Are all the 10-yearold kids still rockin’ out to these boys, or has this band become your running joke as a parent, like when you drive little Marisaamisspelled-on-purpose and her friends to soccer in the minivan and you threaten to play One Direction on the radio just to watch them flip out in peer-pressure terror? Do I even want to know what this disposable bubble-pop rubbish sounds like? No, I do not. I will not go to Google, Sam I Am, I will not. (At this writing, the new as-yet-untitled Christian-pop LP from the Biebs is due out too, and I expect high comedy.)

• No way would I ever pass up the chance to discover a new band called King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and make them famous; come on, you know me. Oh wait, their forthcoming album, Paper Mâché Dream Balloon, is their seventh? Okay, how was I supposed to know that, especially when they’re putting out albums faster than Geico’s making stupid new commercials?

Besides, this psyche-garage band is from Australia — do I look like the Outback to you? Let’s listen to this koala poop. This single is called “Trapdoor;” let’s see if I can stand it for a minute or two. Wow, cool, it’s joke music, like Frank Zappa doing a moron dance while sounding like LCD Soundsystem. What, you hate it? Why? • American producer Boots loves making sexy-time hip-hop.

He contributed a Beyonce re-rub to some trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey, and the title track of his third record, Aquaria, is sexytime chill with sex and hip-hop, very sexy and whatnot.

POP

Film fan festival Despite the name, what characterizes the SNOB Film Festival is its un-snobbiness, according to New Hampshire filmmaker Mark Battle.

“The people at SNOB are incredibly approachable,” Battle said via phone last week. “There’s no pretentiousness at all.

They’re just filmmakers like myself, or they’re big fans of films.”

This is the first time in a couple years Battle doesn’t have a film at the festival, which turns 14 this year and runs Thursday, Nov. 12, through Sunday, Nov. 15, at Red River Theatres.

His most recent project, Here Lies Joe, is in post-production, not yet ready for viewing, but that doesn’t mean he’s not going. His past films, Victim and The Janitor and The Convict, have done well there, and this year he volunteered to act in a 15-minute psychological thriller called What Goes Around by Lakes Region Community College student David Clark.

SNOB has lots of regulars like Battle, and being approachable is kind of what SNOB (Somewhat North of Boston) event organizers are going for. It’s taken on this uber-local, super-celebratory identity, being one of the few festivals that boasts not only local flicks but also local beer and local music. (Plus, this year said festival co-director Derek Obrey, there’s craft beer tastings all three nights.)

The films are the glue that holds it together, but organizers said via phone that SNOB’s becoming more a conglomerate of many independent arts.

“We’re coming into our own. As the years have gone by, we’re slowly developing that identity and showing people we are something different in the community. We always wanted to be a grassroots festival. We want to have the feel of that hometown experience when people come out,” Obrey said.

The films that make up the 2015 festival were announced weeks before printing. Submissions contained a good chunk of foreign flicks, mobster movies and feature-length documentaries, but as always, the selection committee was impressed with the increased quality and total number of submissions, which came from around the world — Ireland, Singapore, Brazil, Scotland, Cuba, Eastern Europe, etc.

“Six, seven years ago, we were lucky if we maybe got 150 entries. Now we’re pushing the 300 range,” Obrey said. “It gets harder and harder to judge every year.”

Around 75 flicks made the cut this year, including a handful of short films from the 2015 New Hampshire High School Short

Film Festival. Fourteen films are by filmmakers with strong New Hampshire ties, but SNOB Executive Director Jay Doherty and Obrey said they often find most films end up having some sort of New Hampshire link, either because they were screened here, they have cast members that grew up here or the filmmakers studied here. Many filmmakers will be making the trek to Concord for movie presentations and Q&As. Doherty and Obrey said they were excited to show Brew Hampshire Thursday night, timed directly after the craft brew tasting, and the annual Friday Night Twisted Tales slot made up of short spooky horror flicks.

They also thought audiences would get a kick out of the documentary How to Be a Man, directed by Ray Harrington. It’s about a comedian, raised by his mother, grandmother and sister, who is about to become a father. It screens Saturday.

Doherty said film buffs or lovers of 1980s flicks may be into Back in Time, directed by Jason Aron, a documentary about the making of Back to the Future, which during its run was a risky, uncertain venture, breaking all the rules of traditional storylines.

Attend the SNOB Film Festival Where: Screenings are at Red River Theatres, 11 S. Main St., Concord Thursday, Nov. 12: Screenings are from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.

Friday, Nov. 13: Screenings from noon to 5 p.m., then from 6:30 to about 11 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 15: At 10 a.m. there’s a kids film program and filmmaker meet-up with the New Hampshire Film & Television Office, followed by 30-minute movies at noon, student screenings at 1:30 p.m. and feature film and short screenings until 5 p.m. and then from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.

Sunday, Nov. 15: At 1 p.m. there’s an encore of the 603 Short Films.

Craft brews: At 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday there’s craft beer tasting at the theater from 5 to 6:30 p.m., free with film ticket.

Local breweries represented include Ale Ebenezer Brewing Company, 603 Brewing Company, Tuckerman Brewing Company, Smuttynose Brewing Company, Canterbury Aleworks, Rockingham Brewing etc. Different beer is highlighted each night.

Music: Mandaila and Tuna Fish Discrepancy perform on Friday at True Brew Barista, 3 Bicentennial Square, Concord, at 10:30 p.m.; Will Hatch, Walker Smith, Diamond Joe (and more) perform on Saturday at the Barley House, 132 N. Main St., Concord, at 10:30 p.m.

How Bad Do You Want It? Mastering the Psychology of Mind Over Muscle, by Matt Fitzgerald (Velo Press, 265 pages) Matt Fitzgerald’s running life began at Oyster River Elementary School in Durham, N.H., where he took off to run two laps on Field Day and won, despite panicked bewilderment at his dead legs and an esophagus “that burned like an open wound dunked in saltwater.”

In high school, he became a championship cross-country runner, and at one point he writes, “I was on a path to become the best high school runner in the Granite State before I graduated.”

That path ended rudely at Manchester’s Derryfield Park, “the toughest high school cross country course in America.”

In a duel there with a rival sophomore, Fitzgerald bonked. Worse, his body didn’t quit, but his mind did. “A part of me seemed to ask, How bad do you really want this? And another part answered, Not as much as that guy.”

That day, Fitzgerald realized there exists a “comfort zone within discomfort,” a misery threshold that even highly trained athletes resist. It is a barrier of the mind, not the body. In his new book, How Bad Do You Want It?, Fitzgerald, a writer, coach and triathlete who now lives in California, explores the role of mental fitness in physical endeavors. He examines the pivotal races of a dozen athletes such as cyclist Greg LeMond, racing legend Steve Prefontaine and back-of-

the-pack hero and author John Bingham to probe into how the athletes collapsed when they should have prevailed and triumphed when they should have been eclipsed by superior competitors.

As Fitzgerald personally attests, it’s mostly in their minds.

“Hard physical limits do exist, of course, but no athlete ever reaches them,” he writes, because they are always stopped first by their psychological limits — which is all a matter of perception. Think you’re tired, or thirsty? Likely you’re not. You just think you’re tired or thirsty. Your body could most likely continue apace; your brain is the slacker.

Fitzgerald proposes to exorcise these mental demons by exposing them for the shysters they are. Among his revelations: The brain, like the body, can become fatigued, and a tired brain affects performance. People given a mental task to do before a workout performed more poorly on an endurance test that followed.

Humans can only sustain maximum intensity at any form of exercise for about 30 seconds.

People can withstand discomfort for a longer period of time when working as a team than when working alone.

Anger can work for us; “ … there is an element of healthy wrath in the fedup mind state that fuels positive change.”

These revelations, and others, apply to any endeavor, not just those on the field or track, making How Bad Do You Want

It? a compelling guide to human performance for even those who have never heard of Siri Lindley.

She’s the professional triathlete who could barely run, bike or swim when the International Olympic Committee announced in 1994 that the triathlon would be an Olympic sport beginning in 2000 in Sydney. Her story leads Matt Fitzgerald to discuss the phenomenon of “choking,” how otherwise gifted and disciplined people falter once they’re in sight of the finish line.

Similarly, Fitzgerald’s telling of cyclist Greg LeMond’s recovery from neardeath after his chest was pumped full of buckshot in a hunting accident and his improbable victory in the 1989 Tour de France is interspersed with smart analysis about the perception of effort and how it influences outcome. (Interesting nugget: The bulk of marathon finish times correspond with round numbers — 4 hours, or 4 hours, 30 minutes — because these time-related goals seem to enhance performance. Also, as generations of motivational speakers have told us, belief matters: “If the goal seems to fall out of reach at any point during the race, the athlete is likely to back off her effort.”)

The author, or co-author, of more than 20 books about sport and physiology, Fitzgerald is a master at his craft, writing from both personal knowledge and meticulous research and interviews.

Ignore the pop motivational title: How Bad Do You Want It? is a compendium of gorgeous writing (for him, runners are not covered in mud, they are “basted”), performance science and poignant human experience that is a must-read for any athlete, a should-read for anyone interested in getting the most out of his or herself.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Truth (R)

Dan Rather and producers bungle a story about George W. Bush’s military service during the Vietnam War in Truth, a movie based on the true story of the CBS report and subsequent scandal.

So, as the movie tells it, in 2004, a few months before the election, producer Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett) and Dan Rather (Robert Redford) delivered via 60 Minutes a report about then-president Bush’s military service. Mapes’ team gathered sources and documents that seemed to back up the idea that Bush had wiggled out of his term of service in the Texas National Guard. Most of the information on Bush’s service is backed up by an official paper trail but the last mile, the stuff that painted Bush as a shirker, comes primarily from what feels like shaky sources and some copies of documents that are alleged to be part of a now-deceased general’s personal files. Mapes and her team — Mike Smith (Topher Grace), Roger Charles (Dennis Quaid) and Lucy Scott (Elisabeth Moss) — do what they appear to believe to be their due diligence with the information, even having four independent analysts look at the memos. Though, because of programming schedules, the report seems to be pushed on air faster than Mapes would like, Mapes, Rather and the team believe they’ve broken an important piece of news.

At first. Soon — the next day, it appears — questions start to arise about the memos. Bloggers and then the conservative media and then the media in general start to make the case that the memos are fake.

They point to fonts and type style more familiar in modern PCs than 1970s military typewriters. Mapes and Rather hang on, with the network sort of supporting them, but then sources start to change their statements. The network retracts the story with

Truth.

Rather delivering an on-air apology and Mapes becomes the focus of an independent investigation and a media firestorm that suggests her reporting was politically motivated.

There’s a moment early in the movie where members of Mapes’ team are discussing what drives Mapes. She almost had the story in 2000, one person says, but had to drop it because her mother died. And her journalistic doggedness and dislike of bullies has its roots in her childhood, when her drunken father would physically abuse her.

“She would get beat up for asking questions?” says Elisabeth Moss’s character, with such brazenness that I thought she might turn to the camera and wink. It is bad form, I think, to throw something at the screen in a public theater but I very nearly did. The completely artless scene exhibits oh-so-many of the movie’s worst sins: the movie’s self-importance (Mapes’ story could have swung the election for Gore! we’re told), its tendency to present everything as loudly and nuance-free as possible,

This Nancy Meyers’ joint features De Niro reentering the workforce at age 70 as an intern at an internet company. OK-ish chemistry between Hathaway and De Niro and a few interesting ideas about the modern workforce do not add up to a movie’s worth of fun. C

its use of talented actors solely as conduits for making an argument and its seemingly inconsistent position on whether this specific story was a crusade for Mapes. On the one hand, the movie seems to argue, Mapes is a consummate professional just following a lead; on the other hand, she is an obsessive pursuer of anything and anyone she views as bullying.

Though Rather is the big name, Mapes is really the center of this movie. While the movie starts off showing her as a woman who is highly competent at her job, the movie ends up showing her as a person who is shoved around by forces outside her control. And while that may be true to some extent, Mapes’ transition from journalistic alpha dog to lone lady weeping in the wilderness is rather abrupt and filled with a lot more speechifying than I had the patience for. The situation, a huge story that quickly implodes, is the ultimate nightmare for a reporter. It is the thing that keeps you up at night and I feel like more could have been made of that, of how it feels to watch *The Martian (PG-13) Matt Damon, Jeff Daniels.

An astronaut is stranded on Mars and has to science the heck out of the situation in order to survive the years until NASA can organize a rescue. Not just a fun movie that nicely blends humor and tension, The Martian is also an ode to science and how cool it can be. Perfect proSTEM propoganda for your middle-schooler. A Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (PG-13) Dylan O’Brien, Giancarlo Esposito.

This second outing of the

small screw-ups snowball into the destruction of your career. Instead, I feel like the movie goes to this place where it’s just the small woman being beat up on by Big Conservatives and also The Internet and also Corporate Interests. The movie acknowledges that the reporting staff messed up their story in the same moment that it also suggests that Viacom’s financial dealings are the real reason CBS is investigating the report.

And, whatever your opinion about the overall point of the story about Bush’s military service, it’s fair to say that the team, at least the way they’re shown here, did mess up in the reporting of it. Much like a court case where untainted evidence needs to prove guilt, a story like this needs reliable sources to make its case and in the end the sources, as shown here, turned out not to be reliable. The distinction is one of the rare points the movie doesn’t underline and would have made for a more interesting look at the episode. (Side note about smug journalism stories: The Newsroom, a TV show which I admit I mostly just hate-watched, also had a “big story gone wrong” storyline, culminating in possibly its best scene of the series where characters played by Sam Waterston, Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer attempted to resign to the network owner, played by Jane Fonda.

The three were the president of the news network, news show anchor and show producer, respectively, who worked on a story that turned out to be blatantly fake, not just poorly sourced. The scene ends with Waterston shouting that they have to go, they’ve lost the public’s trust. Fonda’s character responds “Get it back!” Underneath all the Sorkinness, it actually is a pretty good examination of the way newspeople feel about what they report and the different ways of coming back from a serious mistake. Truth never gets this close to the

Burnt (R)

Bradley Cooper conveys chefiness via yelling in Burnt, a movie about a chef looking for his three Michelin stars that might just be the least food-porny food movie I’ve ever seen.

What’s the opposite of the near erotic beautification of food that we think of as food porn? Food autopsy? Food clinical examination? Whatever it is, this movie does it, with its unappetizing-looking piles of food cubes and discussion of whether or not searing something is so 2007.

Adam Jones (Cooper) was once a big noise in the Paris food scene, but an overabundance of drugs, alcohol and the ladies caused him to lose it all. After spending some time getting himself clean, he goes to London on a mission to revamp the restaurant of old friend Tony (Daniel Bruhl) and earn himself three Michelin stars. One star makes you cooking’s Luke Skywalker, young chef David (Sam Keeley) explains, two stars makes you whoever Alec Guinness played and three stars makes you Yoda.

And here we have my first problem with this movie: a guy who is Star Wars-literate enough to use it to make an expositionary analogy to his girlfriend knows Alec Guinness’ name but not Obi-Wan. Sure, it’s cute dialogue but it doesn’t make a lot of sense on a character level and while this seems nitpicky, this movie is full of lazy moments like this that give it an overall inauthentic feel.

But, back to the plot: Adam gathers a gang of worthy cooks to fill out his kitchen, including old friends Michel (Omar Sy) and Max (Riccardo Scamarcio) and new talents like Helene (Sienna Miller). When, on opening night, Adam starts yelling at the

kitchen for their overall poor performance, Helene takes his criticism to heart but she also stands up to him and even forces him to update some of his food preparation techniques. Even though Adam tries to keep the old vices at bay, consequences from his former naughtiness continue to plague him, whether it’s the drug dealers looking to collect on an old bill or a rivalry with former friend Reece (Matthew Rhys) that is driving him nuts.

This movie should totally be my jam.

Not only am I just generally down for food movies, but situated, as we are at the moment, in the middle of a season of The Great British Baking Show on PBS (my current favorite TV show) and new cookbook season, I’m on kind of a cooking tear right now. I should be counting the minutes until Burnt is available for home viewing, the way I was with 2014’s Chef, which actually had me attempting my own cubano, like, the next day. But nothing about the overly fussy food that Adam serves in his quest to make diners filled with longing — or whatever pretentious nonsense he said when describing his cooking goals — made me hungry or even the least bit interested in him as a chef. (Only one moment in the movie comes close, when Helene, who had messed up the fish on Adam’s opening night, cooks what we’re led to believe is the manyteenth plate of fish for her young daughter. There is exactly the mix of humanity and recognition of what food is for while still striving for perfection in that scene that the entire rest of the movie lacks.)

Of no interest as a chef, Adam is even less interesting as a person. I mean, I liked the cranky drug addict when he was solving medical mysteries on House (or, you know, mystery mysteries in the Sherlock Holmes stories because that’s how long this character has been kicking around).

And, yes, I like Anthony Bourdain, both in his raucous incarnation in 2000’s memoir Kitchen Confidential and his kicked-back traveler in his current CNN show Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown (best retroactive engineering of a TV show from an expense account ever), who I sort of feel like was the sourdough starter this movie used to build its character. But Adam is just such a lifeless retread of so many similar characters that even Cooper seems uninterested in injecting any energy into him.

So add to a blah central character some very well-worn story developments (I so wanted Adam and Helene to just stay colleagues, just to keep the movie from indulging in all the cliches, but, spoiler alert, nope). Burnt isn’t just a good meal, inexpertly cooked; it’s lousy ingredients thrown together in a way that makes you lose your appetite altogether. D Rated R for language throughout.

different layers of emotion reporters might have in such a situation.)

This movie, whose story really has only unhappy endings, ends on what feels like a weird triumphant note, with the last CBS Evening News broadcast of Rather (Redford’s Rather is a whole extra layer of smug that sees all previous Redford smugness and raises it; I have no idea what we’re meant to feel about Rather because I couldn’t stop being annoyed with Redford). The ending felt so out of tune with the movie that I was left not knowing what I was supposed to think or what the movie felt it had just proved. In the end Truth feels like a movie held hostage by the facts of the Bush story — and trying to Say Something about it — when really what it should have been about was the people and the process of the reporting. CRated R for language and a brief nude photo. Directed by James Vanderbilt from the memoir by Mary Mapes, Truth is two hours and one minute long and distributed

American political consultants do battle via the Bolivian presidential election in Our Brand Is Crisis, a murky stew of moralizing and wacky campaign antics starring Sandra Bullock.

Thanksgiving Bread Pumpkins!

Jane Bodine (Sandra Bullock) is, allegedly, some kind of political genius who has also had some kind of a mental breakdown and now spends her time making pottery in an out-of-the-way cabin. But Nell (Ann Dowd) and Ben (Anthony Mackie), Americans working to make the former Bolivian president Castillo (Joaquim de Almeida) the future Bolivian president, think she still has at least one good campaign left in her. They go to see her and urge her to come to Bolivia to work on Castillo’s campaign. Their lure? Castillo’s most popular opponent, Rivera (Louis Arcella), is being advised by Pat Candy (Billy Bob Sample tastings every Calenders and Advent Thornton), Jane’s nemesis. They’ve gone Saturday and Sunday Calenders from Germany are in! up against each other three or four times before and, as she explains to Ben, Pat’s Tues: 11-330 Weds-Thurs: 930-330 Fri-saT: 930-5 candidate has won three or four times.

favors. I’m not sure what this movie was ever supposed to be — something about political cynicism versus the real-world consequences of politics? Or a bit of finger-wagging about how American political consultants export our insincere brand of campaigning around the world? Whatever flawed idea formed this movie’s core is further muddled by a story that tries to do too much and none of it well.

The Jane character is, by herself, too much, though Bullock tries gamely to make her some kind of a real person. (Bullock has hit that amazing spot in her career where even cruddy movies like this don’t make her seem like a less substantial talent.) The character could have just been a hotshot who lost a big election, but the movie piles on some mental illness that may or may not have some origin in an early campaign against Candy. The movie then can’t seem to decide if she’s all about the game, lost her fire for campaigning or a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Or maybe all three! But she’s definitely a political campaign consultant who has never apparently considered that the politicians she helps get elected then go on to make decisions that affect, and even hurt, everyday citizens. Yes, this seems believable.

The movie seems to argue that all people in politics start off idealistic, have their hearts broken and then become just about Sun Tzu quotes or violent revolution. It also maybe suggests that Bolivians are too stupid to understand positioning. This seems insulting and overly simplistic on all counts — all people in a political system (voters, candidates, campaign workers, etc.) have a variety of motivations for what they do with a constantly changing set of priorities. I know this because people in a political system are people. The movie treats them like at best they are Ideas and at worst they are sheep.

But maybe you are willing to ignore the unevenness of Jane’s not-fully-formed character and the movie’s strange, possibly paternalistic message for some good political chicanery. Sorry, none here. The movie has some gags about commercials and a few war room scenes but not nearly enough of the workplace process/absurdity-juxtaposed-with-seriousness stuff that makes this kind of story fun. Veep, The West Wing, Hulu’s Battleground, the movie In the Loop — you get different blends of loftiness and comedy in each of these. Watch these instead and let Our Brand Is Crisis slowly sink in the box office polls. CRated R for language including some sexual references. Directed by David Gordon Green with a screenplay by Peter Straughan (based on the documentary from Rachel Boynton), Our Brand Is Crisis is an hour and 47 minutes long and distributed

NITE Unfiltered Local music news & events

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

• Showcase: An early all-acoustic show features the reliably raucous Carissa Johnson and singer-songwriter Lauren Hurley at a downtown space that’s become a haven for the local music scene. Also appearing at the free all-ages event are Matt Mingell, a Boston rocker with his soul firmly in the 1990s, cellist turned guitarist Emma Ruddock and Gustan Joseph. The show is Thursday, Nov. 5, at 7 p.m., at Modern Gypsy, 396 Chestnut St., Manchester. See facebook.com/ events/153573224993518.

Taking the stage are Best Not Broken, Potsy, April Cushman Band, Santa Croce, Epic Season, 3 Rivers and People Like You. Local radio host and scene maven Chris DeSimone hosts, Friday, Nov. 6, at 8 p.m., at Milly’s Tavern, 500 Commercial St., Manchester. Tickets are $10 at ticketleap.com.

Edgy comic Gottfried plays two NH shows

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

The surest way go to make Gilbert Gottfried say something provocative is telling him not to go there. Gottfried is a comic known for promising that at least once during a show, someone in the audience will wonder whose idea it was to see him. Usually, this happens as the shocked patron is exiting the venue.

However, Gottfried found himself toying with self-censorship while performing at a recent benefit for the school his two young children attend in New York City. Wondering if he should hold back considering the crowd “makes it even worse,” he said from a recent tour stop in Philadelphia. “If I feel like I have to tone it down, that gives me more of an urge to do it.”

Typically, he takes the well-traveled path.

“At a show the other day, this couple got up to leave,” Gottfried said. “The guy says out loud, ‘That’s offensive!’ The only thing that could go through my mind was, ‘Gee, it took too long. I must be slipping.’”

Last year, Gottfried wrote a Playboy piece bemoaning the current culture of apology and its negative effect on comedy.

Conversely, he believes reality actor turned candidate Donald Trump is benefiting from a political correctness backlash by refusing to apologize for anything.

“It certainly has been helping him,” Gottfried said. “There are enough people that are just tired of it [and] he doesn’t care what he says or who he offends. I think people Gilbert Gottfried with Paul Landwehr When: Thursday, Nov. 5, 8 p.m.

Where: Chunky’s Cinema Pub, 151 Coliseum Ave, Nashua Tickets: $30 at headlinerscomedyclub. com Also appearing Sunday, Nov. 8, 8 p.m. at Mountain Meadow Event Center, 478 Route 4, Canaan (Tickets $25-$30) Night Life Music, Comedy & Parties • FRANK WALLACE at Amoskeag Studio (250 Commercial St. #2007, Manchester 315-9320) on Friday, Nov. 6, 8 p.m. $15/advance - CD release concert for celebrated composer, guitarist, and baritone.

like that and are relieved by it.”

In addition to standup, Gottfried works as a film and voice actor. He played Abraham Lincoln in Seth McFarlane’s 2014 movie A Million Ways to Die in the West and has a continuing role in the PBS animated series Cyberchase.

Gottfried enjoyed working with the Family Guy creator.

“The makeup man said that Seth McFarlane wanted me look as much like Daniel Day Lewis as possible,” he said with a laugh. “The idea of playing Lincoln and being in a movie with Liam Neeson and Charlize Theron is certainly something. I don’t know that most people would cast me like that.”

Asked if he prefers live acting to voice work, Gottfried demurs.

“It always jumps back and forth. … If I get a check at the end of the night it all evens out,” he said in 2014. “But once I was in a bad mood about a job I was doing, and I saw these guys in the freezing cold

pushing these big metal dumpsters and I stopped and said, ‘Wait a second — these people are actually working.’ These are things you have to remind yourself.”

Gottfried is perhaps best known for voicing Iago in Disney’s Aladdin. A cast reunion at a recent Broadway party prompted questions about his memories of working with late comic Robin Williams during the film.

“I don’t know how many times I have heard stories about the insanity that was happening when me and Robin were together [but] most of the time, you’re recording by yourself,” he said. “I met Robin Williams a bunch of times at comedy clubs and even went on stage a few times with him, but I never worked once with him during Aladdin.”

Now 60, Gottfried has two elementary-age kids. Being a dad late in life is a novel experience. “Sometimes I feel like I’m waking up in the Twilight Zone … but I enjoy it,” he said. “They come out with odd things; like when my son was in preschool the teacher said to us, ‘He doesn’t pay attention in class and he is always trying to crack jokes.’ I figure, ‘Gee, where does he get that from?’ She said to him, ‘Where did you learn how to be funny?’ He said, ‘From my daddy,’ and she said, ‘Oh, your daddy’s funny?’ He said, ‘He’s funny at home — not at work.’”

Provoking outrage is part of Gottfried’s job description. He called Twitter “an expensive hobby” after losing his Aflac gig in 2011 following tweets about the Japanese tsunami. Later, a new voice sounding suspiciously like his turned up in commercials for the insurance company. Was he traded in on a bargain basement duck?

“Yeah, that’s pretty much it,” he said.

Though not much is off limits in his act, the Middle East refugee crisis hasn’t made an appearance.

“I don’t have a Syrian one yet,” Gottfried said. “You’ll know I do when it’s in the news that I’ve been fired from some job.”

2015 is a special year for legendary artist Gordon Lightfoot. His cross-country 50 Years On The Carefree Highway tour stops Sunday, Nov. 15, 8 p.m. at Capitol Center for the Arts (44 South Main St., Concord 225-1111).

The show features well-known hits and deep album cuts for die-hard fanatics woven together with some of Lightfoot’s own behind the scenes stories and personal anecdotes about his historic 50-year musical career. It’s a thrill for fans of great music, and a chance to see a living legend in person ($39.50-$59.50).

Is this really a “problem”?

Among those struggling with psychological issues in modern America are the rich “one-percenters” (especially the mega-rich “one-percent of one-percenters”), according to counselors specializing in assuaging guilt and moderating class hatred. London’s The Guardian, reporting from New York, found three such counselors, including two who barely stopped short of comparing the plight of the rich-rich with the struggles of “people of color” or out-of-closet gays.

Sample worries: isolation (so few richrich); stress, caused by political hubbub over “inequality”; and insecurity (is my “friend” really just a friend of my money?).

Stories surface regularly about a hospital patient declared dead but who then revives briefly before once again dying. However, Tammy Cleveland’s recent lawsuit against doctors and DeGraff Memorial Hospital near Buffalo, New York, reveals an incident more startling. She alleges that her late husband Michael displayed multiple signs of life (breathing, eyes open, legs kicking, attempted hugs, struggles against the tube in his throat) for nearly two hours, but with two doctors all the while assuring her that he was gone. (The coroner came and went twice, concluding that calling him had been premature.) The lawsuit alleges that only upon the fourth examination did the doctor exclaim, “My God, he has a pulse!”

Michael Cleveland died shortly after that of a punctured lung from CPR following his initial heart attack, an injury for which he could have been treated.

• For an October report, Vice Media located the half-dozen most-dedicated collectors of those AOL giveaway CDs from the Internet’s dial-up years (“50 Hours Free!”). Sparky Haufle wrote a definitive AOL-CD collector’s guide; Lydia Sloan Cline has 4,000 unique disks; Bustam Halim at one point had 20,000 total, before weeding to 3,000. (The AOL connoisseurs file disks by color, by the hundreds of packaging styles, by number of free hours, and especially by the co-brands the rare pearls, like AOL’s deals with Frisbee and Spider Man. Their collections, said both Halim and Brian Larkin, are simply “beautiful.”

• In 20th-century Chicago, according to legend, one did not have to be among the living to vote on election day, and a 2013 policy of the city’s community colleges has seemingly extended rights of the dead to receive unearned degrees. City Colleges of Chicago, aiming to increase graduation numbers, has awarded a slew of posthumous degrees to former students who died with at least three-fourths of the necessary

credits to graduate. (The policy also now automatically awards degrees by “reverse transfer” of credits to students who went on to four-year colleges, where they added enough credits, hypothetically, to meet City Colleges’ standards.)

Bright ideas

In September, village officials in Uzbekistan’s town of Shahartepeppa, alarmed that Prime Minister Shavkat Mirziyoyev would drive through and notice barren fields (since the cotton crop had already been harvested), ordered about 500 people into the fields to attach cotton capsules onto the front-row stalks to impress Mirziyoyev with the village’s prosperity.
