Tacos for all

107735

Fifteen years ago when we started the Hippo, I could have never imagined tens of thousands of people eating thousands of tacos from 47 restaurants in downtown Manchester and the Millyard.

But that’s what we had last Thursday at the sixth annual Hippo de Mayo, a celebration of Manchester’s exploding food scene.

When we started the Hippo de Mayo Taco Challenge, the idea was to recreate the liveliness of Saint Patrick’s Day but with food instead of green beer. Tacos were a good choice because it’s such a flexible food and most cultures have a version of the taco. We wanted to create an environment where restaurants would take chances with unusual taco creations. Boy, did that happen.

This year Queen’s Pub & Grille did a Reuben taco that sold out fast. Strange Brew Tavern did a beef brisket taco, and Funktion did a taco with braised short ribs, kale and pickled radishes. You can see all 54 taco creations at hippodemayo.com.

Not only do restaurants want to sell as many tacos as they can, but they can win a $1,000 prize for a charity from the Judge’s Choice and another $1,000 for a charity from the People’s Choice. We added that to create a fun element of competition. And it’s amazing to see people with their taco maps trying to figure out which tacos they want to try.

This year the judges (a group of Hippo reporters) chose Campo Enoteca’s Eggplant Polpetti Taco (vegetarian) and voters chose, for the third straight year, the Opa Taco from The Gyro Spot. Each restaurant’s charity receives $1,000 from Hippo and its sponsors. This year the winning charities were Manchester Animal Shelter and Alzheimer’s Association.

The event works, and we can continue helping organize it because it’s really a marketing program of restaurants selling something for the same price at the same time similar to New Hampshire’s Restaurant Week. Many have suggested closing part of the downtown, and though that would be great, it would require a level of organization and funds that we don’t have. Hint, hint: Any group that would like to take up that cause is more than welcome.

Seeing what the Hippo de Mayo has done for downtown Manchester and the Millyards, we hope that other downtowns, such as Nashua, Concord, Dover, Rochester and Milford, could also create their own special food nights where restaurants coordinate prices and special foods to bring thousands to their downtowns. We’ve proven that it’s doable — and people love to gather together downtown and enjoy a bite.

NEWS & NOTES Vetoes and orders Gov. Maggie Hassan has made her first vetoes for the year and issued an executive action on energy sources in state-owned facilities. NHPR reported Hassan exercised her veto power on a bill that received little public attention as it made it through both the House and Senate on voice votes. The bill would have limited the power of building inspectors to only seek information that is “reasonably required” but Hassan said it would make buildings less safe and spark lawsuits. The bill’s sponsor said in a statement the bill would have protected contractors from inspector overreach that may cause project delays.

Later in the week, Hassan vetoed a bill that would have tweaked the tobacco laws.

The AP reported Hassan nixed the bill because it would have expanded the definition of “premium cigar” to include cheaper cigars, exempting them from taxes. Hassan is also expected to veto a third bill passed by the Senate that would eliminate concealed carry licenses for handguns. She vetoed a similar bill last year.

And in an effort to make a dent in New Hampshire’s greenhouse gas emissions, the AP reported, Hassan issued an order to reduce fossil fuel use in state-owned buildings by 50 percent from a 2005 baseline by 2030, and from state passenger vehicles by 30 percent from a 2010 baseline by the same year.

Fossil fuel use in state buildings has been reduced by 21 percent over the past 10 years.

The Gate City has long touted itself as an economic driver for the state. Now, the Union Leader reported some Nashua lawmakers are recommending the city hire a lobbyist to champion pro-Nashua causes at the state level. The idea comes in the wake of a move by House lawmakers to remove a proposed $4 million from a 10-year highway plan that would have gone toward commuter rail development, something Nashua officials want to see completed.

The hope is that a Nashua lobbyist would not only work with the city’s 28 lawmakers but also coordinate with other aligned interests like Manchester when it comes to the rail project.

On May 5, the Hippo held its annual Hippo de Mayo taco challenge, bringing thousands of hungry folks to downtown Manchester to enjoy specially created tacos from 47 restaurants. After tasting every taco, a panel of Hippo foodie judges awarded Campo Enoteca first place for its eggplant polpetti taco, complete with artichoke pureé and piquillo pepper relish.

“We did a little twist on our sister restaurant Republic’s eggplant polpetti, made it our own,” Campo Enoteca Manager Peter Macone said. “It was fun to take part in ... [and felt] good to win on our first year.”

They had a number of folks stop by early, eager to get a hold of a vegetarian taco.

“We sold out faster than we liked...so we will up numbers next year, but a positive response makes it easy to get excited about next year,” he said.

In honor of their victory, $1,000 will be donated to Manchester Animal Shelter. Ben & Jerry’s and Gyro Spot received the judges’ honorable mentions.

This year’s people’s choice went to Gyro Spot for its opa taco, made with pork, chicken, tzatziki sauce, mayo, dijon mustard, cayenne pepper and french fries.

For their win, $1,000 will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association. Firefly Bistro & Bar, Currier Museum of Art and Ben & Jerry’s were people’s choice honorable mentions. See hippodemayo.com for more pictures from the taco tour.

Congratulations, you earned it !

“That was seen as a particularly big challenge in New Hampshire, which has not been putting much money into farmland protection,” Coffin said.

She says other New England states invest more money in those programs.

Another way the state could be doing more to help, according to Coffin, is through informational and networking resources that help get farmland sellers in touch with prospective buyers. New Hampshire is already participating in a “land link” website at newenglandfarmlandfinder.org, but Coffin says farmers, especially older ones, aren’t often plugged in to digital methods of matchmaking.

Meanwhile the demographic trends for farming don’t seem to be improving. In New Hampshire, the number of farmers age 45 and younger dropped by 15 percent between 2002 and 2012. The state does see an uptick in the youngest segment of farmers, age 35 and younger, but a significant drop in the 35-to-45 group might reflect a lack of economic resources despite some interest and energy early on.

“Folks might come in very young and be very enthusiastic and be able to start off but when they get to the point where they’re putting down roots — either they’re looking at trying to buy land or they’re having kids — the need for greater income and family stability grows.

That’s where the economics of farming is still very challenging in the region,” Coffin said.

While New Hampshire seemed to have the smallest share of young farm operators helping senior principal operators compared to the other New England states, Coffin says that may be due to the high number of small farms, which may not have the capacity to require extra help.

Older farmers in New Hampshire are retiring, and nine out of 10 don’t have someone from the next generation of farmers to take over, leaving a third of the state’s farmland to an uncertain future.

A study by the American Farmland Trust and Land For Good, organizations aimed at ensuring the future of farmland, analyzed how many principal operators of farms age 65 and older have any other farm operators in the younger brackets who would be the natural inheritors of the land. They found that of 1,338 senior farmers who operate a third of the state’s farms, 94 percent had no younger farm operators helping them.

“It was an eye-opener to see how few farmers age 65 and older had somebody under the age of 45 working alongside them on the farm,” Cris Coffin, policy director at Land For Good, said. “There’s an awful lot of farms where there’s nobody sort of being groomed who is clearly going to take on the farm.”

Many senior farmers who participated in a focus group organized by the researchers said they were worried about what would happen to their farm after they retire or pass away. Some are divided between keeping the land in the family or letting a next generation farmer take over.

“I’ve mentored some young people over the years, but when it came time for them to think about transitioning the farm, they didn’t have the money to buy it,” said one anonymous farmer.

For Coffin and other farm advocates, the broad fear is that the land will be bought by non-farmers and repurposed.

“That is a great concern, because ... a lot of farms and a lot of land goes out of farming ... when an older generation retires, sells the farm [or] dies and there isn’t a natural successor. Then the future of the farm is very much in doubt,” Coffin said.

For farmers, selling the land to a nonfarmer like a developer is sometimes the only avenue when they become less productive and need money for retirement.

One way these farmers can get the money they need while preserving the farmland is through Purchase of Development Rights programs. State-subsidized PDR programs help finance farmers’ retirements while keeping the land in the hands of another farmer, who won’t have to pay as much for the land as they would otherwise.

What is New Hampshire Scholars and what do you do?

[The NHCUC] has been managing New Hampshire Scholars since 2007, and essentially the council is a consortium of all the colleges and universities in the state of New Hampshire. Their board of directors are the college presidents. … We’re essentially preparing their applicant pool for success once they get there. …

The New Hampshire Department of Education actually came to us in 2007 and said there’s 24 other states across the country that have a state scholars project and we’d like to bring it to New Hampshire. … I guess the best way to think about the NHCUC is it’s kind of the chamber of commerce of colleges in the state of New Hampshire.

Is one of the goals to get students into New Hampshire colleges?

The short answer is yes. … [One] of our partners [is] Stay Work Play New Hampshire, so certainly we want to try to keep as many students in New Hampshire as possible and then providing opportunities for careers once they graduate. That’s the short answer. … But the long answer is we were happy that our students are going to college anywhere.

So, great if they’re going to college in New Hampshire, that’s kind of an added bonus.

We believe that over time we’ll see some increases in students staying in state, as well.

How have things changed since the program first launched?

When we first started the program … we had six pilot schools, [and] we graduated 72 New Hampshire Scholars that first year.

And that first few years, as we continued to add schools, the incentives were a lot of the cliches. We were talking to students and parents about, “If you take these courses, you’re going to be better prepared for college, better prepared for career. This is what colleges are looking for, you’re gaining the skills that employers want to see as well.” But … what’s the financial reward? … At the beginning Five favorites

Favorite Book: The Bronx Zoo by Peter Golenbock Favorite Movie: The Jungle Book (2016) Favorite Musician: Pearl Jam Favorite Food: Steak Favorite Thing About NH: Friendly communities

we weren’t able to really reward students with scholarships because the program was new. …

So one of the biggest things that we’ve done is to raise the standards a little bit, so… with that, Scott Power. Courtesy photo. the colleges and universities have begun to provide a lot more scholarship dollars for students who graduate as New Hampshire Scholars. For example, this past year, we launched two new pathways for students to aspire to. One was for STEM, so a student can graduate as a STEM Scholar … and we also have our Arts pathway now. … Those two new pathways are even more rigorous than our original pathway. … The colleges have really said ‘Oh, wow, these students are above and beyond what we’re looking for so we’re going to put merit scholarships behind that. … We now have 78 high schools on board, which is nearly all of the public high schools in the state. There’s only a handful that we haven’t yet recruited. We also have some private high schools that are on board as well. This year, we’re recognizing 5,300 New Hampshire Scholar seniors [who] are graduating this summer with distinction. … With this year’s graduating class, we will have recognized over 25,000 students since ’07.

How would you like to see the program grow or improve in the next 10 years?

I think the unique part of the program is the business education partnerships. Without businesses getting involved and without the business leaders mentoring students, it’s really a recognition program for the academic piece, which is great, but the piece that I think makes it unique is [being] a liaison between the high schools, middle schools and the business community. … Business leaders are getting involved in a variety of different ways, whether it’s offering internships, doing classroom presentations, working in smaller groups or individual mentoring. … While we have over 400 business leaders working with all of our schools across the state, we’re certainly going to need a lot more business community leaders working with our schools as we continue to grow. — Ryan Lessard

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Hike like it’s winter

New Hampshire hikers looking for warm springtime treks need to remember that weather atop a mountain is worse than weather down below. Last weekend, there were various hiker rescues in New Hampshire — one was Friday in Thornton, and three were Sunday in Franconia, Sunapee and Hancock, according to WMUR and NHPR reports. These rescues are a few of many needed this season; in some instances, hikers lacked sufficient warm clothing and were suffering symptoms of hypothermia. Others became injured or stuck because they lacked appropriate overnight equipment.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: QOL is itching to go out hiking too but urges hikers, especially those looking to trek trails with high altitudes, to bring along all the appropriate cold-weather equipment, even though it’s May. Many mountains, especially the state’s 4,000-footers, will still have ice at the summit.

NH residents economically optimistic

New Hampshire residents are feeling good and are pretty optimistic about business conditions in the state, the Associated Press reported.

According to the Business and Industry Association’s Consumer Confidence Report, based on 502 phone interviews conducted April 18 through May 3 by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, most New Hampshire adults think they’re financially better off or about the same as they were a year ago. The percentage who said they were worse off — 26 percent — is the lowest it’s been since July 2004.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: On the flip side, 43 percent think businesses nationally are in for good times, while 33 percent think businesses will have bad times.

Twenty-four percent think conditions will be mixed.

Prison hiring woes

While inmate populations have ballooned over the past decade in the Granite State, the number of correctional officers and program staff has shrunk. NHPR reported that over the last 10 years state prisons have seen 10 percent more inmates with 25 percent fewer correctional officers and 20 percent fewer program staff. This seems to correlate with a dramatic increase in violent incidents within prison walls, up 400 percent over the past five years, and in failed urine drug tests, up 50 percent. One impediment to hiring new prison officers might be the use of a polygraph test.

New Hampshire is the only New England state to still screen potential guards using this method and many otherwise qualifying candidates don’t get hired because of disclosed past controlled drug use.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Another potential deterrent? The starting salary is just above $30,000 a year.

The facility will be open for group meetings and one-on-one coaching Monday through Friday and will be staffed by two full-timers and volunteers.

QOL Score: +2 Comment: Unlike addiction treatment, which seeks to get active drug users past the physiological cravings through counseling, detoxing and sometimes medication, recovery focuses on maintaining sobriety long term through peer services. HOPE offers a secular alternative to the 12-step program.

The SiTe of

kid are eliminated. Secondly, they don’t have to carry a bench-clogging fill-in player who can play just one position. It would’ve been downright 2013-ish if the brass had insured his bloated contract, because that would have unexpectedly given Dave Dombrowski some extra cash to use for taking on a large salary or two at the trade deadline if need be. But you can’t have everything, I guess.

The second injury that may work out is the now ready Eduardo Rodriguez missing his first six starts with a knee injury.

That saves about 40 innings on the arm, so if things go well for him, they won’t go through what the Mets did last year when agent Scott Boras wanted Matt Harvey shut down in the heat of a hotly contested pennant race because he hit his Borasimposed innings limit. Granted Harvey was coming back from Tommy John, but in these innings-crazed days E-Rod likely won’t face that because he’s not going to get to the magic 200 number. And as he returns to a near-first-place team after surviving losing their second-best pitcher for six weeks the Sox have gained in a way.

Then there’s performance on the field, where the retiring David Ortiz is not only projecting to have the greatest season by a 40+ player ever but one of his best years ever. His 9 homers and 27 RBI as I write this put him on pace to hit 49 homers and drive in 147. Time will tell if that can continue, as it will with Jackie Bradley Jr., who’s responded to those in Red Sox Nation obsessed with his not being a good enough hitter, starting the week hitting .282 and on a 14-game hitting streak with numbers that project to 34 doubles, 20 triples, 16 homers and an .838 OPS. I’ll take them from my ninth hitter any day.

Dustin Pedroia is hitting and healthy (at least for now), Hanley Ramirez has outperformed everyone’s expectations at first base, Rick Porcello has pitched like a $20 million pitcher so far, Steven Wright has

been right and the bullpen has mostly been strong. The only thing left is for key young stars Mookie Betts to hit more consistently and Xander Bogaerts to hit for a little more power amid his continued growth at the plate.

The other thing that stands out so far is it looks like Boston’s 2016 fortunes will be intertwined with the extraordinary season under way in Chicago. It’s a long way to go, but right now the White Sox, behind the white hot Chris Sales, have the AL’s best record and look to be the team all will need to get through to get to the World Series. And the team Vegas believes will be waiting for whoever gets there is Theo Epstein’s Chicago Cubs, a team playing .800 baseball under old nemesis Joe Maddon and off to the best start since the 1984 Tigers started 35-5. Merlot Joe is still annoying, as he reminded on Sunday when his pitchers strategically walked Bryce Harper six times (and hit him once) as the game’s brightest young star did not swing the bat even once in seven at-bats! Theo’s also following his Boston pattern of using a fruitful farm system and smart trades (Jack Arietta) to fuel the Cubs’ rise, as he again swings and misses in free agency.

The latest is free agent Jason Heyward being off to a .212-with-no-homers start after being ridiculously overpaid last winter. But the bottom line is winning and Theo has them on course. There could be no better historically tinged national baseball story than the Red Sox meeting the team Theo built from scratch immediately after leaving/being bounced in Boston.

So the question is, will the Sox be the final hurdle in the Cubs’ way as they try to win their first World Series since 1908? Time will tell.

But that’s the story I’m hoping for103159 as it would be a cool way to end this or any season.

Great Events in Manchester

May, 1996 - Central Roars Back From Down 7-0

Braveheart had just won the Oscar for Best Picture, 31,683 fans in San Jose, California had just seen the MLS kick-off its first ever game when the Clash beat DC United 1-0 and the nation’s biggest mystery - who’s the writer of the smash hit political novel inspired by Bill Clinton’s run for President - is about to be solved when Newsweek’s Joe Klein admits he is “Anonymous” and the author of Primary Colors. It’s May, 1996 and the Central baseball is in a deep 7-0 hole to Keene at Gill Stadium. But that was about to change quickly. It started innocently for the defending Class L baseball champs in the fourth inning with a walk, followed by two singles to bring 9th hitter Mike Cotter to the plate with the bases loaded. His two run double drove in two and opened the flood gates. Matt Pinkos next singled to knock in Sean Jordan and send Cotter to third. New reliever Dan Conway should have entered to Wild Thing, as an errant pick-off try on Pinkos sent Cotter in to make it 7-4. He then hit Peter Hammond, walked Ryan Day and Jason Coulie to make it 7-5. Mike Gonzales gave the Green its first lead at 8-7 with a bases clearing triple. Adam Hebert’s single scored Gonzales and forced a second pitching change. With their second hits of the inning Cotter and Pinkos knocked in the final two runs in the giant inning. Overall 16 batters came to bat and 11 runs were scored off 8 hits, 3 walks, 1 hit batter and 2 errors as the stunning reversal led to an 11-7 win that surely was another great event for Manchester.

The baseball season hits the quarter turn when the calendar flips to May 15 on Sunday. That is not only the day I start to take the baseball season more seriously; it’s also the first real benchmark to use as a gauge to where teams stand. Given the doomsday proclamations by some in the reactionary Boston media after the Sox lost their home opener to drop three back of the Murderer’s Row Baltimore Orioles with just 156 games to play, not to mention after every wayward start by David Price, things are now looking up for those with the sense to give them 30 games to find their groove.

They’re not perfect. With Brock Holt more valuable in the super utility role, they need to find a permanent fix in left field.

Also to see if Clay Buchholz is on track after a solid effort vs. the White Sox last week and of course get Price straightened out — which will happen. But while I’m not one to go overboard, I do see some early similarities between this team and the one in 2013, a year when just about everything that could fell perfectly into place, when a team with a third-place roster won the World Series, as I kept asking myself, How are they doing this? Because they’re not this good. But, as it turned out, they embodied the famous Bill Parcells line, “You are what your record says you are.”

The first 2013-like thing to happen has been the injuries. Normally they spell doom, but their two biggest appear to be blessings in disguise. Exhibit A: Pablo Sandoval. With Panda now out for the year, the mess caused by his coming to camp looking like Oliver Hardy has conveniently gone away. No one likes to see anyone get injured, but the distractions and potential morale issues that could be caused when a veteran is replaced by a

First, first-ever coach Bruce Boudreau got the axe as headman of the Anaheim (Mighty) Ducks after failing to do there what he got the axe for failing to do here: get out of the first round of the playoffs. Then coach No. 2, Mark Morris, returned to his college roots when hired as head coach of St. Lawrence University, the arch rival of his last college stop, Clarkson. And a day or two after that, Boudreau’s long period of unemployment ended when he was snapped up by the Minnesota Wild to be their head coach.

at, drink and be happy — that’s the gist of happy hours everywhere, and southern New Hampshire’s bars and restaurants do not disappoint. Many offer happy hour specials to make that post-work experience a little sweeter, from $2

draft beers to half-priced apps. Check out this guide to the hottest happy hour deals, plus Beer 101 for those who want to know a little more about what they’re drinking so happily, and a look at what makes the menu when it comes to happy hour eats.

Happy hour eats

The best foods to pair with your beverage

By Allie Ginwala

aginwala@hippopress.com

Happy hour is about more than just drinks. While some restaurants highlight menu favorites, others try out new tastes — but most follow key guidelines when it comes to pairing pub food and happy hour drink specials.

Stick to your guns

Most eateries have something they’re known for or a concept they keep to really well, so sticking to that niche for happy hour is a good way to go. At 110 Grill in Nashua, happy hour food is a reflection of the regular menus, but with a different spin or presentation. They currently have five items on the happy hour menu: white truffle Parmesan popcorn, pretzel sticks with cheese sauce, marinated olives with grilled ciabatta toast, tomato flatbread and bistro chicken wings HIPPO | MAY 12 - 18, 2016 | PAGE 12

with maple barbecue or buffalo sauce.

“When we’re creating for happy hour, you have to be creative because [many] people have classic items and you want to think outside of the box. … We want [people] to be able to come in and get

something … and have it light and flavorful and unique at the same time,” Adam Dorey, director of food and beverage, said in a phone interview.

110 changes up the menus regularly, always looking to put on a seasonal

flare while simultaneously giving diners a wide variety of tastes, especially with common happy hour bites like chicken wings and pizza.

Currently they have a baked tomato flatbread that uses a tomato soup instead of a sauce to impart a sweetness before it’s topped with roasted tomato, a three-cheese blend and pesto. As the weather warms up, Dorey said, the happy hour menu will change to reflect summer flavors with oysters, barbecue and watermelon.

“And that's worked very well for us in the past. It's just trying to stay creative and unique … and visually appealing,” he said.

For Strange Brew Tavern in Manchester, happy hour pulls directly from the regular pub food menu. Favorites like fried pickle chips, wings, chicken tenders and beer cheese, which have been standard for many years, are offered at a discounted price.

“I wouldn't dare take those off the menu.

These are things people really look forward to to accompany craft brews,” Manager

Sharing is one of the biggest aspects of happy hour, and for many that means finger foods.

“I think mobility is a big thing too. …

People don’t want to necessarily sit down and be committed to sitting there with one large dish,” Dorey said.

With something like mini pretzels and cheese sauce, he said, you can still walk around and be social. “[Happy hour] is made to socialize and to move and mingle, so I think keeping smaller portions and finger foods and just lighter fare,” he said.

Conway agreed that not only finger foods but sharable plates are key for happy hour dining.

“We like to encourage [people] to order fried pickle chips with wings or tenders [or] zucchini fries,” she said. “Things can be picked up and shared and some things are a little messier, but we do have groups of people who come in and order several things at a time and pick at it and share with each other.”

Be versatile

In the future, Dorey said, 110 will feature more flatbreads because that’s something lots of people enjoy that has a lot of cre-

Stand out

Being known for certain drinks or dishes is a plus as well, as in Strange Brew Tavern’s $2 Tuesday, where folks can get select beers for $2 along with their fried pickle chips or beer cheese.

To make the menu stand out more, Dorey said 110 Grill will start incorporating drink ingredients into food items, such as adding a beer to the cheese sauce that accompanies the happy hour pretzels.

“We have started to do that a lot more with entrees, not necessarily happy hour, but moving forward we definitely will,” he said. “The whole craft beer scene in New Hampshire ... it’s big and we’re going to strive to start maximizing on that. Piece them together so they complement each other.”

Over 900 varieties of hardy perennials, flowering vines, choice shrubs, berry bushes and a world of roses.

Want to appreciate beer like a connoisseur, making note of a brew’s “chewiness” or identifying its clove-like flavor profile?

If you’re still not even sure what the difference is between ale and lager, there’s still hope. We tapped two of New Hampshire’s top beer experts to give us a few pointers on how to pick out beer types in a lineup and give names to flavors you didn’t know existed.

Imperial what?

During a recent afternoon, Bert Bingel received a special package at his store, Bert’s Better Beers in Hooksett. Local brewer Michael Hauptly-Pierce of Litherman’s Limited, a new brewery that opened in April in Concord, personally delivered a case of 22-ounce bottles of his new beer.

When Hauptly-Pierce said he had some of his Simply Red to drop off, Bingel’s eyes lit up.

Frequent customers of Bert’s know that Bingel, a German-born beer fanatic, has a wardrobe limited to lederhosen and kilts.

This day, he was wearing his lederhosen.

Hauptly-Pierce has been the host of a beer-centric podcast called The Tap Handle Show since 2014 and has been a home brewer and official beer judge for years, since before opening his own brewery.

So it’s safe to say Bingel and HauptlyPierce are two prominent members of New Hampshire’s braintrust when it comes to the world of beers. They took the time during the delivery to share some of their foundational beer knowledge with the Hippo, since their sophisticated descriptions can sometimes leave amateurs scratching their heads.

Hauptly-Pierce is prone to use terms like “banana” and “Bazooka Joe bubble gum” to describe flavors, which he assures are official terms used in the beer community. He also described the beer he delivered as an “imperial red,” though, he quickly added, that’s not a real category. Like with many craft beers, it’s an original twist on some time-honored themes.

Red ales are named for their amber to reddish hue and are usually a bit tea-like and sweet, but Hauptly-Pierce says Simply Red is hoppier and chewier than most reds.

For the uninitiated, one might replace the term “hoppy” with bitter and the term “chewy” with thick and malty.

“Beer is made of essentially water, malt, hops and yeast,” Bingel said.

Hops are a plant with antibacterial properties added to beer so it’s not too sweet

though it sometimes lends notes of citrus, and malt is the germinated cereal grain (usually barley) used for fermenting.

This batch of red ale is several steps removed from the most basic beers, an evolution guided by generations of brewers of which Hauptly-Pierce and his contemporaries are only the most recent.

In this case, the beer descended from one of two main ancestral categories.

Ales vs. lagers

“Pretty much everything comes under the broad category of ales and lagers,” Bingel said.

When looking at ales and lagers next to one another in a clear glass, the first noticeable thing one sees to differentiate the two is that ales are generally cloudy and opaque, while lagers are mostly translucent. However, both can vary in color and darkness.

This is mostly due to the way the two are made, and it’s one reason why lagers are more often filtered, so particles can’t be seen floating around inside your glass.

“A lot of craft beers are not filtered. Usually, with the American Light Lagers, they are a filtered beer,” Bingel said.

Most of the macrobrews in America are American Light Lagers, like Budweiser, Miller, Coors and Michelob. And Bingel says they are still the largest segment of the global beer industry.

When tasting an ale alongside a lager, one notes that ales, by and large, offer a wider array of flavors and greater complexity than lagers generally offer. Lagers can vary in maltiness, and brewers can still play with different grains and hops, but lagers are much lighter and less hoppy than ales.

Bingel says the thing that truly differentiates ales and lagers is how they’re made.

With both types, the hue and darkness can be attributed to the roast of the malts used. The darker they’re roasted, the darker the beer.

But ales are fermented at higher temperatures.

“Ales are beers that are fermented at a higher temperature, typically 55, 60 degrees [Fahrenheit]. They give a more grainy flavor to it,” Bingel said.

Lagers, conversely, are fermented in temperatures ranging from the high 40s to the low 50s.

For both ales and lagers, Hauptly-Pierce says fermentation takes about one to two weeks, but the process further diverges after that because lagers need an additional six to eight weeks in storage at temperatures around 34 degrees, just above freezing.

Bavarians making the original Pilsners would use caves since modern refrigeration

wasn’t an option. Lagers owe their name to the German word “lagern,” which means to store.

Lagering gives the yeast time to clean up its mess of untasty byproducts.

“I think that’s why people like lagers, because lager yeast cleans itself up in the lagering process and leaves almost no trace of its passing. It has no flavor that it imparts and the malt that they’re using is 40 percent rice to start with,” Hauptly-Pierce said. “So, I honestly think the people drinking those big American lagers don’t like flavor.”

But Bingel, who carries mostly ales in his store, isn’t so quick to condemn lagers. He says they must be doing something right if they continue to dominate the market.

There are dozens of different ales and only a handful of lagers at any given beer store. And more often, craft brewers are making ales. Hauptly-Pierce says this is partly because it would cost him three times as much to use vats for lagering when he could be brewing a new batch.

“We’re not going to be doing lagers for a long time, just because I can’t dedicate the tank space. You gotta sit something in a tank for six to eight weeks to lager it, and I only have three tanks in total, so I can’t do

that,” Hauptly-Pierce said.

The main categories of lagers, according to Bingel and others, are as follows: Helles: a pale lager in which most American Light Lagers and Czech Pilsners are included.

Amber: This includes Vienna-style lagers like Sam Adams’ Boston Lager and the Oktoberfest style.

Bock: a dark amber to brown-colored beer that’s stored longer and usually has a higher alcohol level than most lagers.

Dunkel: a dark lager that lends a fullbodied and malty richness but is not as heavy as its dark ale cousins.

There are a few subcategories or hybrids

of these main categories and some specialty lagers that use ingredients like herbs, spices, fruit and more. But ale variants are far more common.

The main categories of ales, according to Bingel and others, are as follows: Pale ale: The lightest ales include the hugely popular India Pale Ales (extra hoppy), Bitters and ESBs (Extra Special Bitter).

Amber/Red ale: defined as a light and smooth beer with a reddish hue.

Porter: a sweet and darker brown ale sometimes accompanied by coffee notes with a wide range of hoppiness.

Stout: Originally marketed as a stronger

and darker type of porter, stouts are creamy and thick, often with chocolate notes.

Wheat beer: As the name suggests, it’s brewed with a high proportion of wheat relative to malted barley; it’s pale to golden in color and often served with a lemon or orange wedge.

Blonde beer: The most lager-like of the ales, it is golden, well-balanced and made through cold fermentation.

For each of these categories there are up to half a dozen subcategories, and some other ales might defy easy categorization because they can be made in so many different ways. There are sour ales, trappist ales, strong ales (like barleywine or scotch ale, which can have an ABV of up to 10 to 15 percent), fruity specialty ales, spontaneously fermented ales (like lambics) and saisons.

“Saison is sort of a very open category. It was originally brewed for Belgian farmhands to drink while they were working. So, it was usually low alcohol and it was only brewed with seasonally available ingredients because that kept it cheap,” Hauptly-Pierce said.

As far as imperial red goes, the term “imperial” was once ascribed to beer made in England and shipped to Russia, but most craft brewers today use the term to signify that a beer is bolder and stronger, with more malts and hops used and often resulting in a higher ABV.

ARTS Learning to fall

Manchester Choral Society performs new work inspired by ALS

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

The first signal something was wrong with David Publow was his voice.

He could still carry a tune while performing with the Manchester Choral Society last summer, but he was having vocal irritation, breaking out in coughs.

Maybe allergies, he thought, but his doctor saw no vocal cord issues and suggested he see a neurologist.

Publow, an orthopedic surgeon until his 2011 retirement, decided to conduct his own research and came across the possibility of ALS. He considered his symptoms.

“To make the diagnosis, you have to have upper motor neuron symptoms and lower motor neuron symptoms. The upper motor neuron symptoms include trouble with your voice, swallowing, breathing.

I thought, ‘OK, I’m having that.’ Lower neuron symptoms include weakness in the arms and legs. I work out and I’m in good shape, and I thought, ‘I don’t have anything like that,’” he said.

Then he remembered his difficulty using nail clippers. Publow looked at his hands with the eye of an orthopedic surgeon and saw the muscles were smaller than they should be.

His suspicions were confirmed at his neurologist appointment this past fall.

Publow and his wife Johanna dropped out of the chorus just before its December concert after more than 30 years with “Learning to Fall” Creative Conversations pre-concert event: Monday, May 16, from 5 to 7 p.m., at St. Catherine of Siena Parish, 207 Hemlock St., Manchester, free, space limited; composer Jonathan Santore and poet Peggy Johnson will discuss their inspiration and intent behind the music, “Requiem: Learning to Fall;” local visual artist and educator Nanette Constant designed a glass mosaic to reflect the book, Learning to Fall, and participants can work with the artist to make this project, which will be raffled off at the concert; proceeds benefit the ALS Association.

Concert: Ste. Marie Parish, 378 Notre Dame Ave., Manchester, Saturday, May 21, at 8 p.m.; Sunday, May 22, at 3 p.m., conducted by Dan Perkins, featuring mezzo-soprano Emily Jaworski and baritone Steven Small, $25 Donations: generosity.com, search for Manchester Choral Society Contact: 472-6627, mcsnh.org, email kirsten.mohring@gmail.com to register for the May 16 event HIPPO | MAY 12 - 18, 2016 | PAGE 20

the group. Singing had become even more difficult, and Publow was constantly out of breath at rehearsals. But in January, the couple came back.

“As I got into dealing with ALS and getting advice, we just decided, we’re going to go ahead and live our lives as fully as we can as long as we can,” he said. “Singing brings me joy. And so we went back ... to sing ‘Requiem.’”

Maurice Duruflé’s Gregorian chantinspired “Requiem,” part of a five-year Masterworks Series, had been planned for MCS’s spring 2016 program for ages. But more recently, MCS Musical Director Dan Perkins added New Hampshire composer Jonathan Santore’s “Requiem: Learning to Fall” to the spring concert. The addition is a world premiere, commissioned by the Yeoman’s Fund for the Arts. The singers knew nothing about it.

“Nobody had a clue it had anything to do with ALS,” Publow said.

Concert origins

Santore’s “Requiem: Learning to Fall” contains universal themes, but its making has a great deal to do with ALS. Its text is inspired by Learning to Fall: The Blessings of an Imperfect Life, a book of 12 essays by English teacher, inspirational speaker and music-lover Philip Simmons. The book meditates on life, death and ALS, which Simmons was diagnosed with at age 35 and died of in 2002.

Simmons was the founder of the Yeoman’s Fund for the Arts, based in Tamworth, which commissions art for the area.

YFA President Peggy Johnson and Simmons were close friends. They had kids the same age, and after he was diagnosed,

she became a caregiver and fellow reader when he spoke at churches and events.

“I would drive him to places where he was a speaker, and it soon became clear he couldn’t read an entire essay — he had to breathe some and recover. We would take turns reading his essays,” Johnson said.

About five years ago, the YFA decided to commission a requiem — a eucharistic service in the Roman Catholic church to remember someone who has died — that included words by Simmons, who had always been fond of the Requiem Mass.

Johnson got started with the text by rereading Learning to Fall and translating those stories into music-ready poetry.

After many attempts to pull the event together internally, the YFA decided to look outside the organization about a year ago and enlisted the help of Santore and Perkins, both professors at Plymouth State. Perkins, of course, had already been planning to perform “Requiem” with the MCS this spring.

Come August, the project was rolling.

Santore read Learning to Fall and kept Johnson’s poetry in his pocket, reading her words over and over, throughout the autumn, and began writing soon after. In February, he began sending “Requiem: Learning to Fall” to Perkins in waves — which is when the MCS learned about the stories and themes behind this spring’s concert.

Learning to fall

The spring concert music speaks to Publow’s experience — particularly the idea of learning to fall, learning to die. “[ALS] is a disease where everybody does fall. There’s no cure or treatment. So

it’s something you have to get used to,” Publow said.“[ALS] affects something like one out of every 200,000 people. …

I think people are becoming aware that ... it’s a fatal disease and has no known cause or treatment, let alone cure. And that is unique. Even with the most awful cancers, most of them have treatments of some kind. … There is nothing for ALS except to learn to fall.”

And every day with ALS, he said, there’s a little bit of falling.Your shirt becomes too difficult to button yourself, your shoes too difficult to tie. But Publow and his wife keep singing. He uses a voice amplifier and can still hit the low and high notes.

“It’s in the middle where I sound like a 13-year-old on hormones!” Publow said. “It’s obviously been very emotional for me and my wife. But helpful too.

It’s music that deals with the emotions you feel. And singing, although I am not as good as I used to be, I can still carry a tune and contribute. It’s a very loving group for both of us.”

MCS, he said, is made up of “everyone from high school kids to old people,” and at 76, Publow said he’s now one of those old people. He and his wife joined MCS in 1985, and together, they’ve performed in Israel, China, South America and most of Europe. Fellow chorus members empathize, and some of them understand. One fellow MCS member lost a sister to ALS, another a friend.

“I get more hugs than you can imagine,” Publow said.

One last-minute addition to the program is “Forgetting,” a short piece with music

by Santore and lyrics by Jane Babin, a former attorney and Plymouth State professor who was diagnosed with ALS in 2004 and died in 2015. She was an advocate for patients’ rights, and in 2007 published Pearls in the Pond, a collection of poems.

A year later, Santore, a good friend of Babin’s, sent one of those poems, “Forgetting,” to music and Perkins produced it with the Plymouth State Chamber Singers.

“It’s about someone basically saying goodbye, that you’ll forget me, but every once in a while, something will remind you of me. It’s pretty poignant stuff,” Publow said.

The singers and musicians say the concert isn’t really about ALS — it’s about living in the moment.

“It’s a really beautiful concert. It’s uplifting. It’s not a sad story,” Publow said. “It will help lift everyone’s spirit to come and hear this kind of music.”

Zen art

Twiggs showcases meditative artwork in “A to Z”

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Though many artists and art therapists will tell you art can be meditative, the subject is rarely explored in formal exhibitions — most New Hampshire galleries emphasize the result of art-making, their shows curated based on the product, not the process.

But Laura Morrison, gallery manager at Twiggs Gallery, felt the idea had an audience, particularly after the 2015 craze for adult coloring books, which participants often say is incredibly relaxing.

“Anyone can color. It’s so non-threatening, and you end up with a beautiful product in the end,” Morrison said. “I think people were craving a meditative project like that. … And this got me thinking about art and meditation in general.”

She thought about Manchester artist Kathryn Costa, a mixed media artist who created a community around mandala art. Then she thought about Anne Boedecker, a mixed media collage artist from the Concord area who facilitates SoulCollage workshops around the state. When she offered the idea to local artists, they were intrigued.

“They had never been approached with this particular twist for a show,” Morrison said.

“A to Z: Art to Zen” Where: Twiggs Gallery, 254 King St., Boscawen, 796-2899, twiggsgallery. wordpress.com When: May 7 through June 12; opening reception Thursday, May 12, from 5 to 7 p.m.

Free mandala-making workshop, book signing: Saturday, May 14, from 1 to 3 p.m., Kathryn Costa will teach how to create mandalas and sign The Mandala Guidebook SoulCollage demo: Saturday, May 28, from 1 to 3 p.m.; Anne Boedecker will give a demo on creating SoulCollage, an expressive art developed by psychotherapist Seena Frost descriptions, for beginners.

• BEYOND: MUSIC OF PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING Granite State Ringers handbell choir concert. Sun., May 15, at 3 p.m. Bow Mills United Methodist Church, 505 South St., Bow. $10. Call 224-0884.

“A to Z: Art to Zen” is on view at Twiggs Gallery May 7 through June 12 and showcases work by seven artists whose contemplative practices inform their life, work and, most importantly, artwork. It contains Asian brush painting by Bruce Iverson and Sally Gordon Shea, mixed media by Hari Kirin and Julie Püttgen, Zentangle by Bette Abdu, collage by Boedecker and mandala art by Costa.

For Costa, the show happens at the same time as her book release, The Mandala Guidebook: How to Draw, Paint and Color Expressive Mandala Art, inspired by her 100 Mandalas challenge, an online movement she leads via her website and a podcast inviting artists and non-artists to create 100 mandalas in 100 days.

She started the project in 2014 and today has followers all over the world, including in Switzerland, Serbia, South Africa, Canada, France and Spain. She has six mandalas in the show made from acrylic and mixed media.

Costa, a graphic designer by day, stumbled on the form 18 years ago while teaching at Kearsarge Regional High School via a faculty member who studied art therapy in school. She never turned back; she’s in the midst of continuing her mandala studies under Susanne Fincher, a Jungian-oriented psychotherapist. It’s the shape of the mandala, she said, that contributes to the meditation resulting in making it, whether drawn or colored.

“Your traditional mandalas have repeating shapes and patterns that radiate from the center. People express to me, when they have anxiety or are going through a grieving process, they find creating patterns is more centering for them. … That ties in with what Carl Jung was saying — there’s a feeling of center and balance inherent in the form,” Costa said via phone. “Some approach [mandala art] for relaxation and enjoy coloring them. Some people get into the art form with this idea of exploring it and using it as a form of self-expression and healing. … It lulls the person because your attention is on the coloring or the

drawing and you’re not thinking about the stressful stuff.”

Boedecker, who’s also a psychologist by day, echoed this idea.

“All art can be meditative, but the things that are particularly meditative are things with repetition,” Boedecker said. “The simpler the art form, the more meditative it is.”

Boedecker took up SoulCollage more than 10 years ago during a collage workshop at the Andover Newton Theological School, then at a SoulCollage workshop in western Massachusetts. The art form, founded by Seena B. Frost in the late ’80s, involves combining found objects — paper, cut-out magazine pictures — on 5-inch by 8-inch note cards.

takes hold. … I’d done quilting but I didn’t consider myself an artist back then. …

You cut and paste and glue, and you work intuitively,” Boedecker said. “And it’s basically kind of a self-exploration. … I liked the retreat so much, the next year, I did the facilitator training in Santa Cruz, California, with Seena.”

She too said it fit with psychology theories, and she often hosts workshops or makes SoulCollages with clients to spread the love. The last week of May, she’ll present a SoulCollage workshop for visitors to try out. Morrison hopes for high attendance at both Costa’s and Boedecker’s demonstrations after the opening.

“One of the other ideas I had behind this exhibition was … to make art more accessible for everyone,” Morrison said.

Farmers, crafters and anyone interested in sheep, alpacas or goats will find plenty of things to do and see at the 40th annual New Hampshire Sheep and Wool Festival.

The event takes place Saturday, May 14, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, May 15, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Deerfield Fairgrounds.

On both days, there will be numerous workshops, demonstrations, lectures, shows and vendors.

“New Hampshire, like most New England states, has a long history with sheep-raising and fiber production,” said Theresa Walker, a volunteer publicity coordinator for the event. “The purpose of the festival is to showcase that industry in our state and educate people who are interested in raising sheep.”

A highlight of the festival is the sheep fleece show and sale, where producers submit their fleeces to be judged. The show allows raw, wellskirted fleeces from any fiber animal and has divisions for fine, medium, long and primitive fleeces in both white and natural colors. Each will be evaluated based on its adherence to its breed standard, its luster, cleanliness and overall quality.

“Those are the attributes that hand spinners and knitters take seriously, so that’s what judges will be looking New Hampshire Sheep and Wool Festival Where: Deerfield Fairgrounds, 34 Stage Road, Deerfield When: Saturday, May 14, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, May 15, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

for,” Walker said.

The fleeces will also be available for purchase. People planning to buy some can attend a demonstration beforehand on how to choose fleeces that are of good quality and well-suited for their purposes.

“For spinners, knitters, weavers, anyone who loves working with natural fibers, this is an opportunity to shop for products that aren’t available anywhere else,” Walker said. “If you’re at the grounds, you’ll see people walking out with large bags of fleeces and big smiles on their faces.”

Visitors can participate in crafting workshops like nuno felting a scarf, using different spinning structure techniques, needle-felting a sheep and being a frugal fiber buyer.

There’s also sessions on spinning for beginners, spinning primitive breed sheep wool, using natural dyes for contemporary colors and even one on making a beret out of rabbit fiber. Craft shows include a display of handmade fiber items and a display of handspun skeins, and some of the artists will be on site demonstrating their work and answering

At the breed display, visitors can examine different breeds of sheep and goats up close and purchase fleeces directly from those exhibitors.

“It’s a unique opportunity to meet with the producers in person and talk with them, and to be able to pet some of the animals from which the [product] was made,” Walker said.

The festival is also a place where established farmers can expand their knowledge, browse equipment for sale and connect with other farmers.

There will be demonstrations of handling and preparing sheep for show, trimming sheep hooves, shearing sheep and alpacas, skirting a fleece and using herding dogs. Lectures will be offered on various topics such as electric fencing, guard llamas, sheep nutrition, coyote management and genetic engineering for a better flock.

There will be some basic introductory sessions about sheep farming for not-yet and beginner farmers, too.

tures,” Walker said, “so I think we do get people who have been doing it a long time, but also a lot of people who are interested in starting.”

A used equipment sale will have items for fiber work like spinning wheels, looms, spindles and warping boards, and items for farming like feeding tubes, electric netting, clippers, hand shears and more.

There will be about 100 vendors total throughout the weekend, including food vendors, “many of them highlighting lamb dishes,” Walker said.

Other happenings include the Australian Shepherd Club of New England’s stockdog farm trials and New England Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association’s alpaca show.

Finally, young sheep farmers will have a chance to present their own sheep at the youth sheep show, and their knowledge at the sheep quiz bowl.

“The festival gives everyone an opportunity to meet with others in the state,” Walker said. “It’s a strong community. Everyone’s always learning from each other.”

IN/OUT THE GARDENING GUY

Sweet smells

Finding shrubs with fragrant flowers

By Henry Homeyer

listings@hippopress.com

Some gardeners grow flowers for their beauty in the garden, others for their magnificence in a vase. A few select species grow flowers largely for their scent. My friend Nelia Sargent of Claremont is in this third category, largely because she is blind.

I called her recently to see what flowering shrubs she likes best.

Nelia loves shrubs because they pack so many flowers in a small space. And, unlike most perennial flowers, they have their blossoms close to nose level. Who needs to bend over to sniff a peony if you have old-fashioned shrub roses standing up 3 or 4 feet tall? Here are some of her favorites along with a few of mine, roughly in sequence of their blossoms.

First for her, in late March or early April, is a witch hazel hybrid called “Arnold’s Promise.” This flowers heavily with yellow strap-like petals an inch long originating at a reddish calyx cup. Although this bush can get large — up to 20 feet tall and wide — I have never seen one half that size, here in the North Country. I have our native witch hazel that blooms in late fall, but this hybrid is a great plant and one I should get. It’s very fragrant.

At the same time (or soon thereafter) is February Daphne, a tidy pink shrub that is very highly fragrant. I love this one so much I named my corgi after it. I’ve had mine for a dozen years and never had to prune it, which is a plus. I’ve seen it growing wild by the side of the road, which makes me wonder if it will be invasive sometime in the next 50 years. But since I’ve not gotten one seedling and it grows slowly, I’m not too worried.

Nelia Sargent then listed a number of viburnums that are fragrant and lovely.

Three that she mentioned are Viburnum juddii, V. carlessii, and V. burkwoodii.

Don’t be put off by the Latin names. Just pronounce the species names like juddii with an E-I sound at the end. All three species were named after horticulturists.

Viburnum juddii gets to be 6 to 8 feet tall, with blossoms about 3 inches across. V. carlessii, also called Korean spice viburnum, gets to be 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, with 2- to 3-inch semi-snowball flowers. The Burkwood viburnum can get 8 to 10 feet tall with spread about two thirds its height; like the others, its flowers are pink in bud, opening to white and highly fragrant.

In recent years there has been an invasive beetle that has terrorized many viburnum owners. Cornell University has listed viburnums according to their susceptibility.

Burkwood viburnum was listed as moderate-

ly susceptible to defoliation, but V. carlessii and V. juddii were in the group least attractive to the beetle. You can see the entire list at hort.cornell.edu/vlb/suscept.html. I have had a Judd viburnum for three years and never seen one of the dreaded beetles.

After the viburnums bloom, and overlapping with them, are the lilacs. Nelia Sargent noted that there are early, mid-season and late lilacs, so one can have fragrant lilacs for at least five weeks. First for her comes one called Sister Justina, a white one that stays tidy and does not send up root suckers. Gertrude Lesley, a double white, is also early and nicely fragrant. The common lilac has 800 or 900 named varieties. Most are mid-season and nicely fragrant. These spread by root, sending up suckers that will create a hedge if you are not attentive.

Fragrant late-season lilacs include Miss Kim (a cultivar of Syringa patula), a slow-growing variety that is (mistakenly) sometimes called a miniature. Mine is now over eight feet tall, definitely not a dwarf!

Another late beauty is Donald Wyman, which is hardy to Zone 2 (minus 50 Fahrenheit) and will thrive despite pollution and compaction in wet or dry soils! One tough plant.

The final shrub on Nelia’s list is mockorange. Not related to oranges, this 10- to 12-foot shrub has white blossoms that are sweetly fragrant. That said, be advised that not all cultivars are fragrant, so buy one in bloom. It is an old-fashioned flower and not particular to soil type.

Roses can be lovely and fragrant, but many of the modern hybrids have little or no scent. The Knockout roses are fabulous disease-resistant roses that bloom most of the summer, but I’ve only encountered one that was fragrant. On the other hand, rugosa roses are highly fragrant, as are many of the oldfashioned roses. I recommend buying them when in bloom if fragrance is important.

I agree with Nelia Sargent: shrubs with fragrant blossoms are a good addition to the landscape. And they are often great for our native pollinators, too.

Dear Carole, What you have is a Governor Winthropstyle secretary desk. Being a piece that comes from the 1920s or 1930s makes it considered in the market as collectible used furniture. It’s getting close to being an antique, though (at least 100 years old).

No matter whether it’s considered collectible or antique, it’s a tough market around here. It’s not the kind of piece that fits into modern decor, so finding a buyer could be tough for you. In another region of the U.S. this could be different.

What I can say is that these were great utility pieces that provided lots of purpose with minimal space. There are a lot of them found these days, so they must have been very popular back then, and very well constructed to last.

For an appraisal value I would say it’s in the $200 range. As far as selling it, I’m not sure what advice to give you. It would be nice if someone in the family wanted Crafts Fairs • APPLE COUNTRY SPRING CRAFT FAIR Features over 50 juried crafters and artisans.

Would you be so kind as to give me an estimate for the value of this secretary desk? It’s from the 1920s and in reasonable condition considering its age. I want to sell it but am not sure what to ask. It’s a dropdown desk with bookshelves and cubby holes, which are hard to see in the pictures.

If you could offer an appraisal, it would be appreciated.

Lil’ fun for everyone

Kids activities and more at Family Fun Day

Kids enjoy outdoor games and activities at Lil’ Iguana’s Family Fun Day. Courtesy photo.

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

You can tackle an obstacle course, color a masterpiece or even meet your favorite superhero at Lil’ Iguana’s Family Fun Day on Saturday, May 14, at Nashua High School South.

For a $1 admission fee, visitors can enjoy live entertainment, contests and prizes, an inflatable play area, costumed characters and more, including all kinds of activities hosted by 80 exhibitors.

“The executive director wanted an event where he could bring his family but found that there aren’t a lot of events he could go to on a budget,” said Erica Tomaszewski, director of development.

“He created this as a way for families to enjoy a day without having to worry about cost and things being too expensive.” The first 1,000 attendees through the door will receive giveaway bags, but be sure to arrive early if you want a chance at getting one — Tomaszewski said it’s not uncommon for the bags to be gone within an hour.

Live entertainment will be provided by Big Joe the Storyteller at 11:30 a.m., Music for Kids with Sharon Novak at 2:30 p.m., and local performing arts groups throughout the event.

Costumed characters, including superheroes, princesses and area team mascots, will be available for meet-and-greets at a designated station and wandering around mingling with guests. At 12:30 p.m., they’ll parade through the whole event, ending at the main stage with a dance-off, and the audience will decide the winner.

Though the primary mission of the event is to give families a day of fun, there will be a few themes reflected in some of the activities, such as health and fitness, literacy and safety.

Kids can get active by jumping around in the 12 bounce houses, joining a hula-hooping session, playing GAGA ball or testing their

skills at the obstacle course. Local dance and martial arts groups will be at the event giving demonstrations. In the foyer, exhibitors will give out healthy snacks and samples of nutritious foods and beverages.

Everyone who participates in the traditional coloring contest will receive a new or gently used book. The books have been donated by various organizations throughout the year and include books for babies up through chapter books for older kids and some books for moms and families. Participants will also be entered in a drawing for a new bicycle and helmet.

The coloring contest sheets can be found at local elementary schools, childcare facilities, banks and other businesses, and a printable form is available on the Lil’ Iguana’s website. Simply bring your completed entry to the event and turn it in.

A scavenger hunt will help kids learn about safety, and if they complete it, they can get tickets to a Nashua Silver Knights baseball game. There will also be tours of emergency vehicles outside if weather permits.

Exhibitors will be offering crafts and activities for kids. You can get creative with finger painting, macaroni necklaces and bead art bracelets, take a shot at the bean bag toss or a plinko-style game, try out different musical instruments, have your face painted or a temporary tattoo put on, bring your teddy to the teddy bear clinic, and get a balloon animal.

“It’s a great day for families, because it’s affordable, and they can spend the whole day there with all these great activities,” Tomaszewski said. “Everything you could possibly want at an event, you can get at one place.”

IN/OUT CAR TALK

What could be the cause of car’s epically crazy gas consumption?

Dear Car Talk: I live in Kigali, Rwanda. I have a 1995 Toyota RAV4 two-door with an automatic transmission with 132,000 kilometers on it. It had, at some point, been converted

By Ray Magliozzi from right-hand drive to left-hand drive, before being imported. It has crazy gas consumption — I get one kilometer per liter! The air is really dusty here; the car is covered with red dust all the time. Could this dust be clogging the filters and causing increased gas consumption? Could the odometer be running slow, so it is not recording accurately? Help! Thanks. — Anne Wow. That’s some epically lousy mileage, Anne. Congratulations. According to our metric-to-English conversion chart, you’re getting about 2.5 miles per gallon. That low enough to make a 2003 Escalade jealous.

We don’t work on a lot of African RAV4s, Anne. While all the RAV4s we see are fuelinjected, it’s possible yours is carbureted to make it simpler to fix. We don’t know.

But here are a few things that come to mind: If you have a carburetor, one thing I’d suspect is a very filthy air filter. That won’t affect your mileage if the car is fuel-injected,

but without computerized engine management, the dust could clog up the air filter enough to throw off the fuel-air mixture and cause gasoline to pour into the carburetor. If you remove the air filter and hold it up to the sun, you should be able to see light coming through it, looking the long way. If you can’t, it’s plugged up.

Then you’d call Kigali Toyota and get a new filter. Or, if that’s not an option, you’d find someone with an air compressor, blow the dust out of the filter and reuse it. You may have to do that every few weeks if it’s as dusty as you say it is. It’s simple enough to try that as a test. You replace the filter, or clean it well, put it back in and see what your mileage is.

But do resist the temptation to take out the filter and leave it out. Because then all that red dust will scratch your cylinder walls and ruin the engine. Then, for every kilometer, you’ll burn one liter of fuel and one of oil.

If the air filter’s not plugged up, then the mechanical fuel pump could be the culprit.

The diaphragms in those pumps can fail, sending 25 percent of the fuel to the carburetor and the other 75 percent onto the ground.

And the stuff that’s on the ground won’t help your gas mileage.

If your RAV4 is indeed fuel-injected, then

Dear Car Talk: What is it that car dealers do to a car once I’ve signed the papers but before I drive it off the lot? This has happened during my last two car purchases, a Buick and a Ford: They take the car in the back, out of sight, and they keep it quite a while. They tell me they are “just cleaning it up.” But it doesn’t look any cleaner. Are they removing something I purchased on the car? Are they dismantling a theft monitor, something required by the government or their insurance company? What are they doing to my car once I have purchased it? Thanks for any insight into this puzzle. — Anita What are they doing? They’re depreciating it by about 30 percent.

Seriously, I don’t know what they’re doing. I’ve never been present during this mysterious process.

I’m guessing that they do wash it. And they probably clean the glass, inside and out.

They remove the plastic coverings that protect interior parts from getting coffee stains on them while other people test-drive the car.

They probably check the tire pressure and

the battery output. They may set the navigation system for your region so the first time you use it, it doesn’t ask you, “What part of Manitoba would you like to visit?”

They put your license plates on it, and make sure the oil and windshield-washer fluid are topped off. They may install whatever last-minute accessories they talked you into, like the down-filled velour floor mats. They even might drive it down the street and put some gas in it. If the car’s been sitting on the lot for a while, it also might need a software update, or even a technical service bulletin repair taken care of.

And there are two possible reasons why it takes so long. One is that the 19-year-old kid who is in charge of removing the Saran Wrap from the door sills is busy or out to lunch.

So the car sits there for half an hour until he gets back.

The other possibility is that it gives the “finance office” an extra 45 minutes to sell you an extended warranty and some goldplated fuzzy dice.

But I don’t know for sure, Anita. Maybe some of our readers who are dealers can tell us exactly what they do during this final delivery inspection. Fellas? Gals? Does my description sound about right?

FOOD Tons of tastes

Event showcases Monadnock’s finest

By Allie Ginwala

News from the local food scene

aginwala@hippopress.com

By Allie Ginwala

The Taste of Monadnock & Beyond: Food and Wine Festival returns on Sunday, May 15, offering guests samples from 40 restaurants and beverage vendors — 10 more than the inaugural event last year.

Two years ago, when Linda Harris, executive director for Shelter From The Storm in Jaffrey, was brainstorming with her colleagues at the transitional housing program about ideas for their next fundraiser, someone suggested hosting a tasting dinner.

“We thought, ‘Wow we can do that.’ And nothing has been done like it in our area … and there [are] some fabulous restaurants and wineries and things to do out in the Monadnock Region,” she said.

The multifaceted tasting event is held at Woodbound Inn in Rindge, with the vendors set up throughout the main inn, barn, ballroom and grounds. In addition to local eateries like Luca’s Mediterranean Cafe, The Restaurant at Burdick’s and Bantam Grill, there will also be food-focused vendors like New England Everyday Goods,

• Fresh fish: Don’t miss out on the chance to get fresh fish every week from New Hampshire Community Seafood.

Sign-ups are open for the summer CSF shares, offered in 8-, 15- or 30-week sessions. The catch-of-the-week fish selections are brought to 17 pickup locations throughout the state. Previous fish include flounder, whiting, yellowtail, monkfish, haddock, hake, dab, cod and Acadian redfish. Also find recipes and cooking ideas for the already filleted fish. CSF members choose ½-, 1- or 2-pound shares plus weekly add-ons like live lobster, lobster ravioli and scallops.

“The connection between fishermen and consumers benefits everyone,” Andrea Tomlinson, manager of NH Community Seafood, said in a press release. “Consumers [get] a really high-quality fish they can be excited about eating, and they know they are also supporting fishermen in our local fleet.” See nhcommunityseafood.com for more details.

• Portsmouth recognition: According to NECN.com, Portsmouth was voted the third best small town food scene in the country by readers of USA Today. Finishing behind Frankenmuth, Michigan, and Driftwood, Texas, Portsmouth landed the bronze spot after a panel picked the initial 20 nominees. “Chefs from near and far have been coming to the shores of coastal Portsmouth, fueling a flavorfilled food revolution in the small town,” NECN reported from the USA Today article. “Moxy, with James Beard semifinalist Matt Louis at the helm, features New American with local New England ingredients. Chef Greg Sessler oversees the top-notch tapas menu at nearby Cava.” Portsmouth was the only New England location to breach the top 10.

‘Best small town food scene’ was one of the categories voted on in USA Today’s Readers’ Choice Awards.

• Jewish food favorites: Leading up to this year’s Jewish Food Festival on Sunday, July 10, Temple B’nai Israel (210 Court St., Laconia) is accepting orders via their website for folks who want to make sure they get all the food they want. “Our cooking teams have prepared hundreds of servings of the most delectable foods … but no matter how much we have, every40

Businesses representing other regions and neighboring states will be there as well, such as LaBelle Winery, Shattuck Catering, Baystate Wines & Spirits and Woodstock Inn Station & Brewery.

“A lot of people are interested in coming to see different restaurants they’ve never gone to and taste what they have, to see if they want to get a full meal,” Harris said. “[It’s] Monadnock and Beyond, so … [we] have people from Vermont and Massachusetts as well.”

She said the idea is to give locals the

chance to try places within an hour away so they can be exposed to new tastes before taking a drive.

In addition to the food and drink samples, there will be 10 artists displaying and selling their work, a pig roast, live music, fireworks to cap off the evening and demonstrations from select vendors including Sunflowers, Monadnock Inn and Baystate Wine & Spirits. Demo topics range from making a dish or specialty drink to selecting the right wine to pair.

“It was a very successful event for everyone, I think, and all the proceeds go back to our Shelter From The Storm program,” Harris said.

A beer lovers’ gathering

Brew-focused club brings aficionados to Hooksett

By Allie Ginwala

aginwala@hippopress.com

Designed to connect the state’s brewers directly to Granite State beer geeks, the New Hampshire Beer Club is making its debut Monday, May 16, at New England’s Tap House Grille.

The Tap House and New Hampshire Magazine partnered to create the club, a monthly gathering at the restaurant — already a beercentric space that hosts regular pint nights and beer dinners.

“With 48 beers on tap, we've become a hub for beer geeks … especially [since] the majority of what we do is New Hampshire craft beer,” said Stacey Breton, director of marketing and event coordination for the Tap House Grille. “We wanted to shed the lime-

light on New Hampshire craft beer.”

Brewers statewide will attend the events so folks can go to one spot and meet both local brewers and some from further away, like Moat Mountain Brewing and Woodstock Inn Station & Brewery.

“Someone from the Manchester area is only making that drive [occasionally], but now we're bringing the brewery down to a central location,” Breton said.

Staying local to start, the club kicks off with Able Ebenezer’s Carl Soderberg, who will offer attendees a unique or limited-edition brew to taste. Along with beer samples, there will be promotional-priced pints and bitesized dishes to pair with the beer, Breton said.

The meeting will start with half an hour of mingling, grabbing something to eat and trying the featured beer before settling in to hear

from the brewer about that featured beer and the brewery’s history.

“Then the remainder of the event will be mingling and getting that one-on-one time with the brewer,” Breton said.

Having the chance to chat face-to-face with brewers or brewery owners was a driving factor behind the club’s creation, Breton explained.

“For [New England’s Tap House Grille owner Dan Lagueux], this is sort of a dream of his to bring together beer lovers from all over and create [space for] that conversation to happen,” Breton said. “What we’re hoping to do is make it a smaller event so if you’re a huge Able Ebenezer fan you can sit at the bar and talk with Carl for a few minutes and actually have his attention and time.”

New Hampshire Beer Club attendees will have the place to themselves on Monday nights since the restaurant is closed, and the group will meet in the restaurant’s new expanded space that was used for the first time in late April.

“It's a smaller bar, more intimate,” Breton said. “A lounge area with a fireplace … the atmosphere called for something of this nature.”

The final piece of the expansion, an aging keg cooler, is set to be up and running for the first meeting as well.

You don’t have to join the club to attend the monthly events, though you can purchase an annual membership to save $10 for every meeting. Breton foresees the gatherings as

Maza Mediterranean Grill (274 Daniel Webster Highway, Nashua, 888-7500, mazamedgrill.com) recently opened, introducing many in the Gate City to Mediterranean dishes like shawarma, falafel and stuffed kibbeh.

Co-owner Moe Kaddoura has a background in the food industry with three cafe-bakeries in Massachusetts but always wanted to open an eatery that reflects his Lebanese roots. The fast casual restaurant’s menu is simple, healthy and flavorful, he said, with plenty of marinated meats, herbs and spices. While many may encounter new and unfamiliar dishes (tomato cucumber mint salad and lamb kofta kabob, for example), Kaddoura said Maza also wanted to highlight Mediterranean foods folks have become familiar with, like hummus, tabbouleh and pearl couscous.

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

I would say Bill Clinton. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I worked for Au Bon Pain; he came to our restaurant and had breakfast one time. He was the president at that time.

What is your favorite meal to cook at home?

I like to bake bread, and in our restaurant we bake our own bread. This is my favorite breakfast — it’s olive oil with zatar on fresh dough, [baked] in the oven.

What is your favorite dish on your restaurant’s menu?

The chicken kabob is one of our favorite dishes. ... [It’s] marinated with some garlic and nice herbs and spices. And we have a special grill that browns it nicely and cooks it on the inside and it’s always juicy and fresh.

For many, spring is the time to revive the backyard garden and cook with early-season leafy greens from a local farm. But for Michael Phillips, when May rolls around, his mind is already on apples.

“These trees, come May 21, are likely to be in bloom or just in bloom and there are so many things going on in the orchard,” he said in a phone interview.

On Saturday, May 21, the gardener, orchardist and author of The Apple Grower and The Holistic Orchard will lead a daylong workshop, hosted by NOFA-NH and Canterbury Shaker Village, showing folks the process of growing apples from flower to fruit and how a holistic approach to growing can be applied to more than just one favorite fall fruit.

This particular orchard and multifaceted property lends itself well to a holistic-minded workshop. Phillips recalled visiting Canterbury Shaker Village with his wife Nancy, an herbalist, years ago for different events, and the setting and trees “seemed to beckon” to him. The combination of teaching inside historical buildings and then getting to be out among the trees was ideal.

“There are so many things to see, and my talking is useful, but when you see it and understand how this impacts that and the timing … when you understand those things and get the basics right, it all becomes a more doable thing,” he said.

“We have a lot of acres and gardens … and an apple orchard planted by the last Shakers [in] 1917,” Becky Soules, daily visitor and youth programs manager at the village, said in a phone interview. “We have all those resources here, and NOFA-NH has a great membership of people interested in organic apple care, so they have been a wonderful resource.”

The workshop begins indoors, starting with a slide presentation to introduce people to key concepts of holistic orchard care. “[It’s] really fascinating when you can zero in on what the fungi are doing and tell some stories and make it lively for people,” Phillips said.

Next is a break for lunch (which is not

“I’ll also create little mini learning scenarios where we’ll run through potential insect issues and point out how diversity, having lots of different plants in the ecosystem, creates different beneficial insects which in turn take care of the majority of the insect challenges,” he said.

A main focus of Phillip’s workshop is on holistic practices, which is building a solid base to maintain health instead of simply dealing with issues when they arise.

“When we go about health, whether it’s ourselves or our trees or whatever plants we grow in our gardens, we want to set up an ecosystem that works the way nature works,” he said. “With the basis in health, it’s our systems that keep us healthy, and rather than focus on the problems and challenges and illness … a lot of that is taken care of by the fact that we’ve created a healthy system.”

While it may be held in an apple orchard, the workshop aims to give people the knowledge and confidence to grow different foods on an individual scale, taking the backyard garden to the next level. You could have a field of trees or just one next to your house — they all need the same time and attention.

“For many people the idea of growing food is daunting, because it is complex. The journey from flower to plucking fruit is substantial,” Phillips said. “I find it fascinating, and it’s fun to share with people and get them to light up with that fire of ‘yeah, I can do this.’”

He stressed that every planting site is different (“My challenge won’t be your challenge,” he said), but that overall holistic concepts and frameworks will give folks practical details, like what mulch to look for, how to deal with pests and when to thin the crop.

Soules said the daylong outing will be beneficial to people of all gardening abilities.

“Some come who are greatly invested in their orchards and care but [it’s] also designed for the novice enthusiast,” she said.

but had tucked the recipe away and not thought about it for close to a year.

Since I still had most of my seasonings unpacked and the condiments were going to get tossed in the trash if they weren’t used, this seemed like a great recipe to finish cleaning out my pantry. Plus, we’d been paying friends in beer to help us pack, and we had enough left over to throw a small party.

I opted to use frozen meatballs, as I had a bag that was going to be wasted, so the prep time was much shorter, but the cooking time didn’t change.

Almost any beer would work in this recipe. Our fridge was loaded with dark stout and a few pale ales. I opted to use the pale ale and was happy the flavor nuances from the beer came through. The ketchup and Worcestershire sauce added a tangy kick, similar to the undertones of a barbecue sauce, and the brown sugar noticeably sweetened things up and rounded out the flavors.

This recipe was simple to make and prepare, which gave me time to pack while it cooked. Our helping hands appreciated the food, and all said, the sauce packed a lot of punch. — Lauren Mifsud

It’s moving week at my house. The boxes are piled up next to the door and the truck sits half loaded in the driveway. Packing progresses slowly as people drop in to say goodbye before my family moves out of state. Most days this week, visitors arrived with casseroles or takeout, as they know we’ve packed our kitchen into a dozen boxes.

However, I have miscellaneous pantry items floating around that I need to use before we drive 500 miles to our next adventure. We stopped grocery shopping this week, so everything I’ve made has come from the freezer or pantry. But with no real meals planned, and all of the remaining ingredients seemingly unrelated, I’ve needed help to make recipes that will use what is left in the pantry without forcing me to the grocery store for extras.

I started typing a few ingredients into Internet search engines to find recipes that didn’t seem completely bizarre. What I found were some recipes I’ll be making again and others I wouldn’t dare serve another time.

One of the recipes that sounded strange at first was for beer and ketchup meatballs.

I’d made a barbecue sauce similar to this

Being a wine columnist and all, I really like wine, and I have plenty of friends and family members who like to enjoy it with me as well. I am not an expert by any means. Instead, I consider myself a “wine enthusiast” and someone who still has a lot to learn. If you think I have been on a few dates that involved visiting wineries, you would be right — except that, until recently, these dates seemed to be a bad omen.

One winery where I had especially bad luck has since closed, and though I loved it there, it made me further question the brilliance of having a date at a winery.

I met my boyfriend in the fall of 2014 and found out quickly that he didn’t like beer. Captain and Coke was his drink of choice and he didn’t really drink wine, but he was open to trying it. He had never been to a winery before, but I think within a few months of our first seeing each other, we visited at least three. For Valentine’s Day he picked out a bottle of wine for me, and I remember liking his choice (you really can’t go wrong unless you bring me a California chardonnay). We also went wine tasting on Valentine’s Day (my idea, of course). At one point I remember him saying that it is a lot of pressure to buy for a wine columnist, but it’s the thought that counts, and he hasn’t disappointed me yet!

Flash forward more than a year, and he almost never orders a Captain and Coke.

Recently, he ordered a glass of wine at a restaurant known for its beer menu, surprising even the bartender. He now prefers red over white and probably has a better nose and palate than I do. I would say I am kind of proud that the wine bottles have replaced the liquor bottles at his house, but it is more than that. It is all about the experience. That is one of my favorite things about wine: the way it can bring people together and make lasting memories. We have since picked Thurs., June 16, at 6 p.m. Bedford Village Inn, 2 Olde Bedford Way, Bedford. Cost is $95. Call for reservations. See bedfordvillageinn.com.

grapes at Fulchino Vineyard (his idea), attended a wine seminar (where I heard him use wine terms correctly in a sentence), visited several more wineries and attended the Winter Wine Spectacular earlier this year.

Having someone share in my love of wine makes it even better. (Because tasting wine is such an arduous activity!)

What I’m drinking

I finally got around to opening another bottle from my Christmas present shipment.

This one is 2014 Butcher’s Hook Mendoza Malbec. If the name makes you think beef and/or steak, that is completely intentional. According to the Lot 18 website, this is exactly what people in Argentina pair with a wine like this and what they suggest as an ideal pairing.

I don’t eat steak, but I did enjoy this wine.

I rarely taste a malbec I don’t like, and this one is great on its own. I would also try it with barbecue chicken. It has notes of dark cherry, blackberries and some oak from being barrel aged, but it isn’t overpowering. The tannins are smooth and pleasant. It has some nice smokiness as well.

POP CULTURE

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Har Mar Superstar, Best Summer Ever (Cult Records)

Over the years, 38-year-old Minnesota native Sean Tillmann has been leveraging his mercurial songwriting and wiggly Brandon Flowers-meets-Julian Casablancas voice to near-famous effect, winning collaborative support from such peers as Karen O, Peaches and Casablancas himself, who played a large part in selecting the songs for this release on his Cult Records label. The sixth album from this neighborhood of Tillman’s persona (one in which he performs, mostly in underwear, as an alternate-reality version of porn star Ron Jeremey, sometimes) finds our hero sitting alone with a Casio keyboard punching out 1980s-pop so catchy yet cheesy you’d swear it came straight out of the Miami Vice vault — but not across the board. He does have a fetish for lo-fi outbursts, in this case “My Radiator,” a boisterous early 1960s soul joint with little or no production value, meaning it’s great. Aside from stuff like that, we’re in Top Gun land: “I Hope” and “How Did I Get Through the Day” sound like Wham, for instance.

No, I mean really like Wham. A — Eric W. Saeger Daniel Meron, Sky Begins (Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Records)

Jazz pianist Meron is from Brooklyn by way of Israel, having learned piano at age 7. In this second album, his first since 2010’s critically applauded Directions, his flawless, colorful runs are supported by drummer Jimmy Macbride and bassist Noam Weisenberg, whose underpinnings don’t merit much more than a few perfunctory golf-claps, not that they’re focus points, but a lot of this is low-key progressive Starbucksambience that would have room for a little whiz-bang color here and there that wouldn’t necessarily rouse a reader from their New York Times entertainment section. The focus point of these eight original numbers would most logically be on Meron, of course, and yeah, he’s great, but it’s his wife, Maia Kero, who gets the bulk of the spotlight, for better or worse. She does appear to have a good handle on these lightly adventurous wanderings, especially on “You Give Me Love,” easily the best workout on board, but she doesn’t scat much, if at all, which would have made these tunes sound a little less anatomically correct. It’s great for what it is, but a little stuffy.

• Jessy Lanza is a Canadian techno lady whose shtick revolves around futuristic micro-grooves, bloop-dance and high-pitched lady vocals that are usually mixed way too low. What’s that? Yes, she does it on purpose. It’s a “thing.” Her second album, Oh No, features the single “It Means I Love You,” a song that may as well have been on her first album, for all the difference it makes.

Sure XLRBR will like it, as they’re now stuck with the albatross of naming Lanza as one of their Best New Artists back in 2013, and you might like it too, because aimless, overlong grooves, a.k.a. ringtones, are still the rage in the hip cities. But your grandmother may not like it, as she’s settled on Patsy Cline ringtones and refuses to change.

• Wow, here I was thinking Kvelertak had to be one of those Icelandic weird-beard nerd-mope bands, but how do ya like that, they’re a metal band, of some sort! They’re from Norway. Their new LP is called Nattesferd. Now do you see why I thought they were a Sigur Ros thing? I thought all Norwegian metal bands had to have nasty medical terms in their names. They don’t, though, so now I have to close all these LOLCATS windows and go listen, so you don’t have to. Here I go. No, I’m really going this time. OK, here we are. Oh look, it’s a teaser, and it’s just a bunch of intro noise. Their old stuff sounds pretty good … oh wait, I get it, they’re one of those Norway-folk-metal bands, sort of like if Dropkick Murphys grew up in a “fjord” next to some “ice geysers” and used to play with baby penguins. It’s not great, but I can deal with it.

• Oh no, it’s an emo band, Modern Baseball, from Philadelphia! When will people stop making emo albums? Do they have any idea how this affects me and my rheumatiz? Oh come on, who knows, stop being such a Gloomy Gus, maybe it’s good.

Know why? Because they’re from Philly, the city fondly known as Ground Zero For People With Lousy Attitudes. Holy Ghost, their brand spanking new slab of whatever, has a single, called “Apple Cider I Don’t Mind” — let’s check out the massively compressed version on this YouTube. Hmph, just like the peanutgallery commenters said, it’s sort of like U2, but it’s also kind of like Killers. It also rips off Def Leppard, but sure, it’s OK. Red Lobster overhead speakers, here comes the next contestant!

• Toronto indie band Hooded Fang is releasing the Venus On Edge LP. There’s no Wikipedia thing about them, so I’m going in blind; tell my family I love them. OK, this is like Devo, except more spastic and noisy. Only four fanboy user comments on this video, which is an eyeball assault that could probably cause blindness in parrots. But it’s noisy and messy, with Talking Heads-ish singing and Nintendo synth freaking all over the place. Wow, I don’t hate this. Heaven help me, I really, really don’t hate this!

Quincy Whitney first called Carleen Hutchins in 1997 as a Boston Globe arts journalist. She’d learned about the 87-year-old violin maker who summered on Lake Winnipesaukee at a New Hampshire Humanities Council meeting and wanted to write a story about her.

“What’s your angle?” Hutchins asked Whitney over the phone.

Whitney was startled. She’d never been asked that as a journalist before.

“I’m interested in stories where science and art overlap,” Whitney said.

It was the right answer. Whitney drove from her Nashua home to the Lakes Region, conducted the interview and wrote about the New Jersey teacher and housewife who began carving fiddles in her kitchen and went on to invent a new family of violins.

After it printed, Hutchins told Whitney she was the first journalist to make her work sound interesting. Would she be interested in writing her biography?

“It’s really rare when someone asks you that. That really does take a pretty strong ego.

And I guess I wasn’t as turned off by ego as I was curious about what I had already seen of her. Everything in the story seemed too remarkable to be real,” Whitney said.

Whitney was tired of weekly deadlines but held off answering. Since she and her husband were planning trips to Venice and Milan for their anniversary, however, she could agree to Hutchins’ request to deliver Research Papers in Violin Acoustics 1975-1993, which Hutchins had just finished editing, to Francesco Bissolotti, luthier and founder of the professional violin-making school in Cremona, Italy, the “city of violins.” It wasn’t far off their planned route.

“I think [my husband and I] are both sort of adventurous in that way. He was intrigued by what he had read in the paper about her,” Whitney said.

They delivered the package to Bissolotti, who “gleamed” when he saw who it was from, and checked out Collezione Civica, the collection of treasured violins by Italian masters, located in Palazzo Comunale in the city center. They found displays, exhibits and a hallway that paid tribute to the world’s most noted violin makers, from Andrea Amati, who invented the instrument, to Antonio Stradivari, who perfected it. And there at the end was Hutchins. She was who she said she was.

“That was a turning point to me,” Whitney said.

In 1997, Whitney began researching American Luthier: Carleen Hutchins — The Art & Science of the Violin, during which she con-

ducted interviews in New Hampshire and in the New Jersey home Hutchins grew up in.

It was a biographer’s dream and nightmare.

There were hundreds of primary sources right there (Hutchins was a child from the Depression and never gave anything away), but it was often overwhelming. On the bright side, there was no worrying someone else would steal the story. Hutchins was relatively unknown even though, in Whitney’s opinion, no luthier contributed to the field more since Stradivari.

“So much of women’s history is like that — footprints in the sand, a wave comes over, and then the footprints are gone. This is really the reason I wrote the book,” Whitney said.

Hutchins, encouraged by her mother to explore her interests, started whittling as a girl and perfected the craft by high school. She became a naturalist, wife, teacher, musician, luthier, scientist, author, editor, lecturer and catalyst for the international violin community.

She carved nearly 500 instruments, conducted 100 experiments and created a new, louder, more dynamic violin and the first violin octet using physics research. She was the only woman to be given the highest award of the Acoustical Society of America, first awarded to Thomas Edison in 1929.

Yet musicians hesitated to accept her work.

“Give a painter a new color, that’s an exciting thing. Give a sculptor a new shape, and it will inspire something else to create. Give a musician a new instrument, that’s a problem.

Carleen found that creating new things ruffled people’s feathers,” Whitney said. “The problem with musicians is that, above all other artists, they are married to their tool. … By bringing in something new, Carleen found she was going uphill in a lot of ways.”

Whitney met with Hutchins for 12 straight years before she died in 2009 at 98.

“I didn’t know whether I would write this while she was living. But she never hovered over me or told me what to write,” Whitney said. “Biographies take a lot of time. Nobody’s paying you to do research. But she knew by the time she died I was committed to it.”

Whitney’s now in the midst of a book tour, traveling the country to tell Hutchins’ story.

“She created a life and career out of a passion without knowing how to do it,” Whitney said. “I think it’s a model for a lot of us, whatever path we’re on in life.”

The Secret Life of the American Musical, by Jack Viertel (Sarah Crichton Books, 296 pages) Jack Viertel didn’t win the Pulitzer, but he did hit the jackpot when Hamilton became the ninth Broadway show in a century to win the coveted prize. Hamilton not only saved its namesake’s place on the $10 bill, but it bestowed a gift of incalculable worth to Viertel’s new book: timeliness.

Even people who don’t like Broadway shows want to see Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop-inspired imagining of Alexander Hamilton’s life. You can get a ticket in the second term of Donald Trump’s presidency. Viertel’s The Secret Life of the American Musical is more about liver-spotted shows like Gypsy and Fiddler on the Roof and would be a charming romp down Broadway even without Hamilton astride. But its inclusion and success lend a freshness to the topic that should make Viertel and his publisher believe in God. The Book of Mormon, also covered here, suddenly seems so yesterday.

Viertel is a drama critic, professor and artistic director, as well as an executive with a company that operates five Broadway theaters. He’s been involved with more than 50 shows, most notably Smokey Joe’s Café. He knows his stuff, so much so that he designed a course for New York University’s Tirsch School of the Arts that dissects four musicals and explains how they are built and why they work (or fail).

The book is an extension of the popular course. It benefits not only from Viertel’s extensive, behind-the-scenes knowledge, but from his winsome voice and diamond-sharp wit. (He describes himself as “a man of limited imagination but a certain dull cunning,” a nudge who became besotted with Broadway when he saw Peter Pan at age 5 and still prefers it to traveling great distances to wander “crumbling walled cities.”)

Here, of course, is where Viertel parts company with people who don’t care for musical theater as much as he does. Because no matter how compelling the presentation, few readers will tackle 300 pages of a subject they don’t care about. Fans of Fiddler on the Roof will love hearing the story of how the beloved song “Tradition” came in as a last-minute fix to burnish a show with an ill-defined theme, but if you don’t know the song or the show, you’re not likely to care.

Similarly, Oklahoma!’s iconic opener, “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” was revolutionary in its time because it was a solo, not a full-cast press. (A decision “born out of practicality — choruses of girls were hard to justify on an Oklahoma farm,” Viertel notes.)

But if you don’t care about Oklahoma! you won’t care about this.

The reader’s interest in the book, therefore, increases in direct proportion to the number

of Broadway shows he has seen.

If your Broadway experience is the sum of The Sound of Music on television and Cats when the traveling show slinked through your town, you’ll want to pass. If stanzas from Hairspray, Carousel and Guys and Dolls are in your shower repertoire, you’ll love it.

Hamilton is unusual in that it is written by one person, Miranda, unlike the collaborative shows that have historically been the staples of Broadway and might lead one to conclude “that the history of the Broadway musical is the history of short Jewish men yelling at each other,” Viertel writes. “But to understand how these shows really came to be, it’s important to know what they were yelling about: the form and function and how the pieces fit together.”

Viertel exposes how the sausage is made, how in most shows there is a predictable pattern of wooing to win an audience’s affection, from the crafty seduction of opening and clumsy numbers, to other standard fare like the “I want” song (which establishes the protagonist’s motivation) to the “conditional” love song (that establishes romance with tension).

He also beautifully explains how a successful show transcends a successful score and script. Theater, he says, “is not the written word, it’s the word made flesh. Sometimes a light cue can make you cry. Sometimes an actor turning toward or away from another actor can tell more of the story than all the words a playwright could think up.”

Viertel believes the golden age of Broadway spanned from Oklahoma! (which opened in 1943) to A Chorus Line (1975). Not that he doesn’t respect what’s occurred there since then; he calls the score to Hamilton “probably the most kinetically exciting original cast album ever made.” Its creator, Miranda, was not an overnight success, he notes. Before the Pulitzer, Miranda had also won a Tony for In the Heights, a musical he began while a college student. (Side note: Miranda is 36, and already has a Tony, a Grammy, a Pulitzer and a MacArthur Genius Award. And they say art doesn’t pay.)

Despite Hamilton’s success, Viertel said we shouldn’t expect a tide of hip-hoppish, historical shows in its wake. There have already been at least three other musicals about the nation’s founding (only one of which you’ve probably heard of): Dearest Enemy, Arms and the Girl and 1776.

Hamilton blazes in part, with the questions it raises about guns, immigration and race, for the same reason that older shows did. “In other words, it’s about today, just like all shows tend to be, no matter when they are set. In that sense, it’s a direct descendant of Oklahoma!”

Viertel connects the dots with aplomb, and The Secret Life of the American Musical will leave Broadway enthusiasts singing. B+ — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Captain America: Civil War (PG-13)

Beloved comic book heroes battle in Captain America: Civil War, a movie that manages to be action-packed and light but also thoughtful and emotionally rich.

Hey, people making DC Comics movies, please watch this before making another Superman/Batman/Justice League-characters movie. Watch it a few times. Take notes.

For those keeping score, this movie comes post-Avengers: Age of Ultron and postAnt-Man (the credits scene from Ant-Man featuring Cap, Bucky Barnes and Falcon shows up in this movie). For those not keeping score, don’t sweat it because the movie slides in enough exposition about who everybody is (which is helpful for characters you may have forgotten about) that I’d imagine it’s not that hard to step into this universe even now, 12 movies into this saga.

After some Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) backstory, the movie begins with the new formulation of the Avengers assembling to catch a bad guy in Lagos, Nigeria. We have Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), whose powers are super strength and agility and general nice-guy awesomeness; Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie), who has a winged suit that allows him to fly and a multi-utility drone; Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), who is, as they explained in Ultron, weird and can do all sorts of moving and stopping of stuff with her mind, and Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), whose powers are basically just some mad fighting skills and a solid fashion sense. They stop a baddie from stealing a biological weapon but kill people in the process, setting off — as it does these days in superhero movies — a bunch of “who’s watching the watchers” talk about the extraordinary powers of the Avengers and other enhanced individuals who all do their thing without oversight but with lots of collateral damage.

Still traumatized about his creation Ultron and the destruction it wrought, Tony Stark/ Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) welcomes oversight and attempts to push other Avengers in signing the Sokovia Accords (named after the Eastern Europeany place where the Avengers fought Ultron at the end of that movie). Doing so means they agree to act only if the United Nations asks them. Tony signs, as does a skeptical Natasha, a more gung-ho

AT THE MULTIPLEX Reviewlets * Indicates movies worth seeing.

Captain America: Civil War

James Rhodes/War Machine (Don Cheadle) and the (to mix my movie franchise universes) Vulcan-like Vision (Paul Bettany). Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) retires.

Wanda, who feels bad about causing some of the deaths in Lagos, tends toward signing but Cap and Falcon are not up for giving a political body the power to make them act (or not).

The regular joe political leaders are all set to enact these accords in Vienna when an explosion kills several at the UN, including King T’Chaka (John Kani) of Wakanda, a country that lost more than a dozen people during the fight in Lagos. The king’s son, T’Challa/ Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), vows revenge on whoever caused the bombing, and when footage suggests that person is the Winter Soldier, he sets his sights on Bucky.

So too do German police officers with an order to shoot on sight, so Captain America and Falcon show up to bring Bucky in peaceably. Cap still think there’s some of his old Brooklyn buddy left in Bucky, especially after a mysterious man (Daniel Bruhl), posing as a psychiatrist, shows up to question Bucky and seems to set off a violent reaction. Cap’s desire to protect his friend and Tony’s desire to protect the Accords come to a head in a battle where Iron Man, War Hammer, Black Widow, Vision and Black Panther — with an assist from a kid named Peter Parker (Tom Holland) whose red and blue, web-slinging suit Tony helps to upgrade — face off with Cap, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye and their secret ringer, Scott Lang/Ant-Man (Paul Rudd).

HIPPO | MAY 12 - 18, 2016 | PAGE 48

In theaters now Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (PG-13) Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill.

The age-old comic book question (“Who would win in a fight?”) is not really answered or terribly well-

Since that battle is probably 50 percent of this movie’s draw, let’s start discussing this movie’s overall success by talking about it.

First, there are stakes — this battle’s outcome will genuinely affect the characters and their relationships with each other in a way that is more resonant than all the “to save the world” stakes that have made so many action movie fights feel lifeless. The movie does a pretty good job of laying out the stakes for us and making us care about what happens.

And by this point we genuinely care about the characters. Though the movie is tilted toward Captain America (it is, after all, a Captain America movie, though it could just as easily have been called Avengers: Civil War) I’d argue that all of the characters are degrees of sympathetic. There is a little bit of you that wants all of them to win. They can also see each other’s side and still care about each other. It’s messy and complicated and they are genuinely fighting but also not so on opposite sides that they are truly trying to kill each other. (When one character faces serious harm, heroes from both sides of the battle swoop to his aid.)

In addition to stakes, the other area many a battle like this can fail is the ho-hum-ness of having unkillable CGI thing punch unkillable CGI thing for 15 minutes. I’d argue this movie has fun with that idea. Here we have characters who know that they are more or less evenly matched. They go for oddball tactics and moments of advantage rather than trying to pound their opponents into submission.

Put all of this together and you have a fight scene that is energized and surprisingaddressed in this dingy downer of a movie that is, I guess, supposed to kick off a whole Avengers-like multiverse of DC characters. On the bright-ish side, Affleck is, on balance, not a terrible Batman. C-

ly light in tone while still feeling significant to the movie and the characters. In addition to making this matchup entertaining, the tone of this battle helps to highlight the greater ferociousness and genuine “to the death” rage of a battle later in the movie.

I’m also going to argue that all of these battle scenes are shot and edited pretty well. I had a pretty good idea of who was doing what to whom, which is not always the case in your action movie battle scenes, and enough of a sense of what was happening at all times to really get engrossed by the movie, not just wait for the fight to be over.

Other things this movie does well: • Introduce us to our new, Marvelverseintegrated Spider-Man. I found the character really cute — in a good way! There is something very sweet and, again, tone-lightening about having Spider-man be a high school kid who is star-struck at meeting Captain America and Iron Man. I am now not dreading his stand-alone movie, due in 2017 according to the Internet, which is really saying something.

• Keep all of these umpteen characters straight and give them just enough story to make us more or less care about them.

• Use its nearly two-and-a-half-hour run time pretty well. Sure, there’s some padding — a Captain America love interest I really don’t care about, for example — but I didn’t look at the clock every five minutes nor did the story seem to run out before the movie did.

• And, as mentioned in discussion of the battle scene, balance tone and emotion so we can both feel the seriousness of the Accords and the potential for chaos that comes from Avengers acting with no check and little follow-up but still enjoy the fact that this is a fun summer superhero movie and not, like, a documentary about famine.

Again, a-hem, DC. Not every Marvel movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (as the, with this entry, 13 movies from 2008’s Iron Man on are called) has been a glowing success, but I overall like what they’ve done with this story, like how they’ve handled its moving parts. Captain America: Civil War was fun, honest to Odin fun, and a pretty solid way to kick off Hollywood’s summer season. B+ Rated PG-13 for extended sequences of violence, action and mayhem. Directed

by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, Captain America: Civil War is two hours and 26 minutes long and distributed by Marvel.

The Boss (R) Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Bell.

A merciless editor, a script doctor and more Peter Dinklage ― these are some things this shaggy, promising but not-quite-there

comedy from McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone could use. McCarthy plays a Shark Tank-like mogul who finds herself penniless after an insider trading conviction. C

Rocking holiday band morphs into Big Swinging Thing

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

Featuring big band versions of rock favorites, the annual Christmas Buzz Ball is a treat for both local music fans and the performers on stage. Along with show leader Steve LeClaire and his band the Tornado Alley Horns, Fools front man Mike Girard has played in all five of the holiday shows.

When the 2014 edition wrapped, the two wished out loud for a year-round version of the event.

“I’ve always wanted to have a really big band playing rock ’n’ roll, and he said he’d be interested,” Girard recalled in a recent phone interview. “I thought this was just happy talk … six months later he’d found 13 horns players.”

The zany singer offered his Fools bandmates as a rhythm section, LeClaire recruited a pair of Worcester singers quickly dubbed The Jewels, and Mike Girard’s Big Swinging Thing was born.

The massive band debuted last summer to a sold-out crowd at Blue Ocean Music Hall in Salisbury Beach, Mass.

Their set includes big band covers of AC/ DC, Green Day and the Stones — “Rocks Off” is a revved-up highlight — and movie soundtrack selections like “Goldfinger” and the theme from Blazing Saddles.

“You feel like you want to grab your popcorn when you hear the beginning,” Girard said of the latter song. “There’s a big MGM buildup. … It’s great fun.”

Although he’s always ebullient, it’s clear Girard is especially savoring the current project.

“It’s such a great time; really,” he said.

“Singing in front of this band is like driving a freight train down a sidewalk and being able to make 90-degree turns — it’s just a Mike Girard’s Big Swinging Thing When: Saturday, May 14, 7:30 p.m.

great bunch of horn players.”

An upcoming show at Manchester’s Palace Theatre will be the band’s fifth; given the scale, it’s not like they can play every night of the week.

“You can’t just go into any club with a 21-person band; most of them don’t have a dressing room big enough for that,” Girard said with a laugh. “We wanted it to be an event situation, and if it means only playing four times in our first year, so be it.”

He’s looking forward to returning to the Palace, site of the first three Buzz Balls.

“When I was a kid growing up in Ipswich, every town had a miniature version of that classical style; great sight lines, no bad seats,” Girard said. “We’re really hoping to bring out some surprises for that night, because I want it to feel like the circus is coming to town.”

With tongue ever in cheek, Girard noted that show’s scale presents a few challenges.

“I finally just learned everyone’s name a while back,” he said. “For quite a few rehearsals, everyone was called ‘man’ — as in, ‘How’s it going, man?’ It’s so unfair because of course they all know me — the band has my name it!”

The Fools continue apace; in 2015, the band entered in its fifth decade, anchored by original members Girard and guitarist Rich Bartlett. The Big ’80s days of label

deals (two albums with EMI) and national tours with The Knack and other top acts are past, but they remain a regional favorite; recent New Year’s Eve and April Fool’s Day shows at Blue Ocean Music Hall were both sellouts.

Girard documented his time as a front man in Psycho Chicken & Other Foolish Tales. The 2010 biography included a hilarious recollection of the band’s severely abbreviated time opening for Van Halen.

(Spoiler alert: Don’t show up David Lee Roth, and be aware that backstage food is headliner-only.)

“I feel very fortunate because I’ve been playing with all these friends over the years and so many things can break up a band: no money, too much money, no wives, too many wives, whatever,” Girard said. “But I’ve known these guys since I was 5 years old, so there’s no secrets at all. We’d probably have a bowling team if we didn’t have a band.”

Does Girard have another book in him?

“I keep threatening to, and the publishers keep calling,” he said, adding that though another one about his band isn’t appealing, he might go there. “I sort of want to do something with time travel or science fiction, but I suppose it could be something about the year and a half that we broke up.

I lie so easily.”

the fellow who invented the shopping cart. Be aware of the power of the shopping cart.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) I like what Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” And just think, he didn’t even know about Mary Kay enthusiasm! You will encounter great enthusiasm.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) When a man goes to work in the morning, he kisses his wife and children good-bye, and he’s off and running. From the time he gets up, the average man doesn’t have to lift a finger for anyone but himself. He showers, shaves, puts on the clothes his wife has laundered, and eats the breakfast his wife has prepared. Then he puts on his hat, says, “Good-bye, honey, have a nice day,” and out he goes. As he leaves the house, he doesn’t have to think about a single thing but his career. He has no concern whatsoever about making the bed he slept in, or cleaning up the bathroom he just left in disarray, or planning dinner for that night, or taking the clothes he wore yesterday to the cleaners. ... His wife doesn’t have it quite so easy, especially if she has a career, too. Leave the bathroom better than you found it.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking that just being in the proximity of her children makes a woman a good mother. … a mother who’s with her children all day long sometimes gets the “screaming-meemies” by five o’clock and she’s shouting, “Don’t ask me that question again!” That’s not being a good mother — she just happens to be there. Take a break.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) I suggest that our Consultants mentally “turn off their problems” before they go to a Show. When people ask, “How are you?” they don’t really want to know! … It’s best to never let anyone know you have a problem. People may be more empathic than you think. But still: Right time, right place.

2016 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Quotes are from Mary Kay, by Mary Kay Ash, born May 12, 1918.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Instead of trying to clean the whole house at one given time, I instruct my housekeeper to clean one room thoroughly every day. Stay organized.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) When I want something, I want it right now. I don’t want to wait three weeks. In three weeks, I may not remember why I wanted it. Wait three weeks, and if you can still remember why you wanted it, then go for it.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) When I worked for Stanley Home Products, the company had a number of songs which were always sung before and during our sales meetings…. After I left Stanley and joined a company called World Gift, I found a real lack of that spirit. …

So, I introduced a song contest…. I watched those songs change the temperament of the whole sales force. Music will help.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) I really believe that if you act enthusiastic, you will become enthusiastic! It might be worth a try.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) When a Consultant enters Director Training, we write to thank her husband for his support. Your support matters.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) My mother used to say, “You can’t chase two rabbits and catch either one” — and she was right! What are you even doing chasing rabbits?

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) The important thing to remember is to get somebody else to do the things that aren’t important for you to do personally. One of the best things I ever did was make a list of all the tasks I spent my time on every day. Then I checked off the ones that nobody could do for me. Delegate what you can.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) … there’s no way in the world you can just run into the store and get a loaf of bread and some milk. I always say the smartest salesperson who ever lived is

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Unclear on the concept

“Zero tolerance” claimed another victim, in Charlotte, North Carolina, in April, when Jaden Malone, 12, came to his bullied friend’s aid, was knocked down himself and repeatedly punched in the head by the bully, and pushed the boy off of him to avoid further damage but was himself suspended for three days by his charter school Invest Collegiate.

A school official pointed out that the bully got five days, and besides, the policy against “all” physical violence is very clear. (After having Jaden treated for a concussion, his mother promptly withdrew him from the school.)

The eye-catching Vietnamese model and Playboy (Venezuela edition) Playmate Angie Vu complained to the New York Daily News in April that her five-plus months in jail in Brooklyn have been “torture” and “cruel” because of her lack of access to beauty care. Vu is fighting extradition to France for taking her 9-year-old daughter in violation of the father’s custody claim and is locked up until a federal judge rules.

Among her complaints: “turning pale” in the “harsh light”; lack of “Guerlain’s moisturizer”; and the inability to look at herself for months (because glass mirrors are prohibited). At least, she told the reporter, she has found God in jail and passes time reading the Bible.

THANK YOU HIPPO READERS FOR MAKING US #1 FIFTEEN YEARS IN A ROW!

• Idaho’s law protecting fundamentalist faith healers regained prominence recently in the case of Mariah Walton, 20, who was born with a routinely repairable heart defect but who received only prayer and herbs because of her parents’ religious rejection of doctors. Walton’s now-irreversible damage leaves her frail and dependent on portable oxygen, and she will likely need lung and heart transplants to survive. Idaho and five other states immunize parents from criminal prosecution if they reject medical care on the ground of religious teachings.

• Latest From Evangelicals: (1) Christian political activist David Barton told his “WallBuilders” radio audience recently that Disney’s anthropomorphic characters (e.g., Bambi) are simply gateways to kids’ learning Babylonian pagan worship. (2) Brooklyn, New York, “prophet” Yakim Manasseh Jordan told followers recently that he has arranged with God to bring people back from the dead if they cheerfully offer a “miracle favor cloud” of gifts as low as $1,000.

Questionable judgments

• Chef Mahbub Chowdhury pleaded guilty in April to food and hygiene violations in Swindon (England) Magistrates Court after inspectors found “brown fingerprints” in the

kitchen at his Yeahya Flavour of Asia carryout restaurant. Chowdhury was candid about his “cultural” habit of bypassing toilet paper and using his hand to clean himself. The plastic bottle with the fingerprints, Chowdbury said, contained water that he normally used instead of the toilet paper, and his lawyer argued that since the bottle was never actually lab-tested, the brown spots could have been “spices.”

• England’s Brighton and Hove City Council, striving to be progressive, issued a directive to parents of new school students (kids as young as age 4) calling on them to mark the gender identity they prefer and notes that any child who identifies as other than male or female should leave the space blank and consult with officials individually.

(Critics, according to The Sun, expressed that school should be for “developing” such identities without the necessity of declaring them so early in life.)

Police report

• The Tap Inn bar in Billings, Montana, released April 11 surveillance video of the armed robbery staged by two men and a woman (still on the lam), showing two liplocked customers at the bar, lost in affectionate embrace during the entire crime, seemingly oblivious of danger. The robbers, perhaps impressed by the couple’s passion, ignored them even while emptying the cash register just a few feet away.

• Andru Jolstad, 26, was arrested on April 16 and charged with using a pry bar to break into the cash boxes of four machines at Zap’s Arcade in Mesa, Arizona. Following citizen tips, a cop arrived to find Jolstad on his knees alongside one machine with his arm still

inside. His total take from the spree was $18, and he’ll likely be sent back to prison from an earlier charge.

Yee-hah!

• Transportation Security Administration announced on April 27 that its screeners had confiscated 73 guns from passengers’ carry-ons in just the previous seven days!

(Sixty-eight were loaded, and 27 had a round in the chamber.)

• Federal regulators were deliberating in April whether to stop Minnesota’s Ideal Conceal from rolling out its two-shot, .380 caliber handgun disguised as a smartphone. Several police chiefs, and two U.S. senators, have expressed alarm.

• Jeffrey Grubbs, 45, was charged with two felonies in March following a school’s 4-H Club carpentry project at which he (lacking a hammer) pounded a thumbtack into wood with the butt of his loaded handgun. (He subsequently realized the danger and removed the bullets.)

Perspective

California’s forests host major marijuanagrowing operations (legal and illegal), and though the product has its virtues, cannabis farming creates massive problems guzzling water (23 liters per day per plant state drought or not) and needing the protection of a dangerous rodenticide. A state wildlife official told NBC News in April that the cannabis sites “use massive amounts of fertilizers, divert natural run-off waters, create toxic run-off waste and byproducts, remove large amounts of vegetation and trees, ... create ... unstable soils and kill or displace wildlife.”
