In the past week, many remembrances have begun with those words, “My friend, Van McLeod.” Van passed away on July 18, and many of us lost a beloved friend. But New Hampshire lost a treasure.

Van served as Commissioner of the Department of Cultural Resources for 24 years. Van was loved by anyone and everyone who knew him. If you met him for the first time, you knew that you were in the presence of a very special person. Despite the fact that his face showed the remnants of his battle with cancer, a battle that he won, everyone who knew him looked forward to the next time they would see Van’s smile. I will never be face to face with that smile again, and I am profoundly sad about it.

Lucky me, that I made my living in the arts for 39 years. Being in the music business gave me a natural opportunity to be in regular contact with Van. He came to me on many occasions with cultural projects that he was working on. While I was unable to participate in every idea, I loved saying yes to Van. A yes was a ticket to see Van more often. When my company closed, Van left a message on my voicemail that I have saved to this day. It was so kind and comforting to me in a time of great stress and sadness.

I have not listened to it since his passing.

I have some trepidation knowing that the next time I listen to it, I will do so knowing that Van is gone.

Van shared his amazing personality, positive attitude, humanity, joy, generosity and creativity with all he touched. He is irreplaceable. He will be missed by all who knew him as well as those who were unaware that he was responsible for so much of what we love and appreciate in our state.

His impact on the arts in New Hampshire has been felt in every corner of the state, so his legacy needs to be found in every corner of the state. Van is one of those rare individuals that we need to name things after: buildings, schools, scholarships, events, awards.

Van’s optimism, outgoing nature and can-do attitude has inspired the way I try to live my life. We need to show future generations that when you live life as Van McLeod did, people will honor your memory forever.

NEWS & NOTES GOP convention

New Hampshire’s involvement in the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, last week was marred by an investigation into violent statements and defined by party division, with one prominent delegate comparing Donald Trump supporters to Nazis and with key New Hampshire Republicans notably absent.

Ahead of the fanfare, speeches and voting, New Hampshire state Rep. Al Baldasaro, a Marine veteran and traveling advisor to the Trump campaign, said during a radio interview that Hillary Clinton “should be put in the firing line and shot for treason.” NHPR reported the Secret Service launched an investigation into Baldasaro for those comments. The head of the New Hampshire GOP, Jennifer Horn, denounced the comments and called them “appalling.”

During the convention, the delegation from New Hampshire fell into pro- and anti-Trump camps.

On the first day, an attempt by a group of Never Trump Republicans sought to open the voting up for a proposed change to the convention rules that would allow for delegates to vote their consciences to find a nominee other than Trump. The attempt was quashed by a series of roll call votes. One of the Never Trump delegates was New Hampshire’s former U.S. Senator Gordon Humphrey, who later compared the GOP camp backing Trump with “brownshirts,” the Nazi paramilitary group, in an interview with MSNBC. Humphrey clarified, saying they are behaving like fascists.

Though Horn had previously shared negative opinions of Trump publicly in the past, she said she had no reservations about Trump after he officially won the party’s nomination.

Trump loyalists from New Hampshire celebrated his nomination and predicted a wave of support during the general election.

Some, like Baldasaro, took the time to criticize other New Hampshire Republicans like his longtime nemesis House Speaker Shawn Jasper, Jennifer Horn and Sen. Kelly Ayotte, during an interview with NHPR. Ayotte was conspicuously absent from the convention scene last week, instead taking the time to campaign for reelection with an

event in Portsmouth. First District Congressman Frank Guinta also shunned the convention and none of the Republican candidates for statewide office went to Cleveland.

Ashooh vs. Guinta

For the first time since former BAE executive Rich Ashooh, a Republican, joined the 2016 race for the state’s 1st District Congressional seat, he’s stated that his primary opponent, incumbent Frank Guinta, is lying about his campaign finance violations from the 2010 race. The Union Leader reported the comments came during the first debate between Ashooh and Guinta, which aired on WGIR-AM radio. The Federal Election Commission ruled Guinta had received an illegally large sum of money — $355,000 — from his parents. Guinta settled with the FEC, agreeing to pay back the amount and an additional fine, but he has continually maintained his innocence. Guinta argues the money was his, and part of a joint bank account, but his name was not on the account initially and interviews conducted by investigators with Guinta’s family members suggest the account was not seen as a family account.

Ashooh lost against Guinta the last time he ran for office, in 2010.

Police and race

The Nashua Police Department has been meeting with community members each month to discuss race relations. NHPR reported the last meeting, which took place at Rivier College, involved a number of Nashua police officers and black and white community members.

The conversation touched on recent violence against black men by police, some resulting in death, and when a 24-year-old black man asked what police feel or do when they hear about these events, answers varied. According to NHPR, Deputy Chief Mike Carignan said he thinks the media and public jump to conclusions and judge police before knowing all the details of the case and whether or not the use of force was justified. The only black officer at the event, Sergeant Lakeisha Phelps, said she “doesn’t need to know what happened,” but added she suspected discriminatory violence to be unlikely here.

The state’s second-largest solar array went live in Lee, according to NHPR. The newly installed 2,100 solar modules sit on a former gravel pit and provide all the energy required for buildings owned by the town of Durham, save its wastewater treatment plant. Finance came from IGS Solar and a grant from the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission. The total cost was just over $2 million.

Anthem-Cigna merger

New Hampshire has staked out a position decidedly against the proposed merger between insurance giant Anthem and Cigna. The Union Leader reported the state attorney general joined with the attorneys general of a dozen states and the U.S. Justice Department in suing to challenge the proposed merger and also the merger proposed between insurers Aetna and Humana. The suit charges that these mergers would harm seniors, employers, working-class folks and healthcare providers by limiting price competition, reducing coverage, innovation and quality of care. The Anthem-Cigna merger is valued at $45 billion and if both mergers went through, it would reduce the number of national health insurers from five to three.

Wood pellets

New Hampshire is boosting incentives to get residents to use wood-pellet furnaces and boilers, according to a recent NHPR report. Over the past several years, the state had already been using money from the Renewable Energy Fund to help with the costs of wood-pellet furnaces and boilers in order to promote sustainable energy use and to get rid of dirty old wood stoves that can pose health risks — offering 30 percent of the costs with lower maximum rebates — but as the cost of other energy sources fell, so did interest for this program. As such, the state will now cover 40 percent of the costs of wood-pellet furnaces or boilers, up to $10,000 for residen-

New Hampshire will receive $622,000 — its portion of the $60 million being doled out by the Centers for Disease Control — to fight the Zika virus. According to the Union Leader, the money will help fund efforts to control and monitor the mosquito population. It will also pay for data collection, increased lab capacity and the monitoring of pregnant women with Zika. The Union Leader also reported that during a speech at the Bedford Village Inn on July 22, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said it is critical that emergency funding be secured to help develop a vaccine for the virus.

She noted that, at the time, 346 pregnant women in the U.S. had tested positive for Zika, and there were five cases in New Hampshire, two of which were pregnant women.

CONCORD STEAM

In Concord, the utility company that provides steam heat for the New Hampshire Statehouse and a number of other government facilities is shutting down, according to NHPR. Concord Steam, which began operating in 1938, announced last Thursday it would wind down operations by May 2017 and offer customers a transition to a natural gas supply by Liberty Utilities (which also plans on buying Concord Steam for $1.9 million).

The company’s customer base had declined in recent years as rates rose and the state investigated fire and safety code violations at its wood-burning plant. One of its biggest clients, Merrimack County government, recently announced a switch to natural gas. The state government and City of Concord have been investigating alternatives.

Every morning, Elizabeth Schmidt, a 28-year-old single mother in Manchester, drops off her 5-year-old son Jaxyn at a local child care center. She’s currently working as a barber and hairstylist in Nashua, making most of her money on commission in biweekly paychecks. Schmidt estimates she earns anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 in take-home pay each year. But she spends a third of it on child care, and that’s after help from the government.

Schmidt is grateful to be getting the subsidy from the state she started getting in March, since it lowered her weekly child care bill from $190 to about $70. But $70 a week is still between 24 and 36 percent of her paycheck.

That leaves little for rent, so Schmidt is currently living with her mother and helping out with expenses.

For several months, Schmidt had to pay the full cost of child care while state officials processed her application. This happened as she was getting recertified, changing employers and moving Jaxyn to a new child care center.

“They made me jump through all these hoops and once I did that and got them everything they needed, there [were] like seven more hoops I had to jump through,” Schmidt said.

Cost for care

A recent study by the Economic Policy Institute ranked New Hampshire as the 12th most expensive state for child care. The cost for infant care is $11,810 per year on average — just shy of $1,000 per month — and the annual cost for child care for a 4-year-old is $9,457.

For two-thirds of the typical families in New Hampshire, this isn’t affordable, based on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services definition of affordability, which is no more than 10 percent of family income.

The EPI study shows that for the median family in the state, child care is about 14 percent of their income, while for minimum wage earners, it’s more than 78 percent. For Schmidt, the unsubsidized cost of child care could range from 65 percent to almost her entire paycheck.

And it’s worse for those with two or more kids. To put an infant and a 4-year-old in day care would be more expensive than rent in most parts of the state and it would cost about 26 percent of a typical family’s income, which is $81,832.

According to the 2016 New Hampshire Early Care and Education Market Rate Survey conducted by DHHS, prices have gone up between 2014 and 2015, with average weekly rates ranging from about $179 to

about $226 depending on the length of the contracts. Prices in the 90th percentile ranged as high as $297 and overall they were highest for all age ranges in the southern and eastern regions of the state.

While programs are getting bigger, there are fewer facilities, so that increased capacity may not necessarily mean it recaptures kids from programs that closed. The average capacity in 2001 was about 38.5 children and in 2015 it was 51. Meanwhile, 34 programs shut down over the two years between surveys.

Most of the 900 or so day care facilities statewide are for-profit — 60 percent.

Only a few offer special care hours beyond the typical 9 to 5. Only nine programs offered care from 7 to 9 p.m., three programs offered 9 to 11 p.m. and two offered overnight care.

The subsidies help, but advocates say it’s still not enough to make it affordable for people.

“The problem is, the amount we give them is really not sufficient,” said Jackie Cowell, the executive director of Early Learning NH, a child care access advocacy group.

Cowell says the state set the qualifying threshold higher than the federal government, which funds most of the state subsidy, recommends.

But what if you make just enough money to not qualify for aid?

Steve Norton, the executive director of the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies, said besides those in the lowest income brackets, one should be concerned with “that person making $30,000 a year and spending 20 percent or 30 percent of their income on child care. How do they survive here?”

Factors driving cost

Ask anyone familiar with the world of child care why it’s so expensive and everyone will say it’s because it requires lots and lots of people.

“The main reason child care is so expen-

sive for families is it’s a labor intensive business,” said Julie McConnell, the director of child care lending at the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund.

And since child care workers don’t get paid very much — around $21,300 annually, according to the EPI — there’s a lot of turnover with staff, another added cost.

Mary Jane Wallner, a state representative and the director of Merrimack Valley Day Care Services in Concord for 44 years, has seen that labor cost increase as demand has shifted over the years to more of the younger infants.

That’s going to mean hiring many more child care workers because of state licensing rules that set minimum teacher-to-child ratios. For infants, it’s one teacher for every four. That’s compared to one teacher for every 12 4-year-olds.

“You can do the calculation yourself and you can start to understand why the costs are high,” Wallner said. “With more younger children in child care, that’s certainly a more expensive service.”

She estimates a typical child care center’s labor costs make up between 60 and 80 percent of its overall expenses.

Still, Wallner says the problem isn’t with the state requirements. Wallner thinks the state has struck a good balance of minimum standards and high quality.

Besides labor, Wallner also cites the state’s high energy costs and rents as factors in the climbing price tag for families.

She also sees an increased need for child care. “[Demand has] changed a lot … because there are so many more families that need care ... whether it’s a one-parent home where mom or dad is working to support their family or whether it’s a two-parent family. We’re seeing more and more two-parent families needing child care,” Wallner said.

State investments in aid have declined as well, according to Cowell. And that in turn

Possible solutions

Cowell argues that there should be more public investment in early child care and education. Studies have shown that investing in good-quality early child care can offer a return on tax-dollar investments of 7 to 11 percent.

“We are spending more money by doing nothing,” Cowell said.

Some might be content to increase subsidies and cast a wider net, but others would like to someday see a system for tax-funded child care not unlike our public school system. James Heckman, a Nobel prize-winning economist, has shown in his extensive

research on the subject of child care that such a public child care system would actually be AWARD WINNING an economic driver and cost less than the cur- FITNESS STUDIO rent system in the long run. That’s because the investment pays off in the form of reduced spending on special education because fewer kids are left behind, reduced spending on prisons thanks to decreased crime rates and Classes for Ev er y TRX increased tax revenues from better graduaon Barre e tion and career outcomes.

But Julie McConnell at the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund says New Hampshire is lagging behind othWhat a difference fresh-picked makes! er states in early child care spending.

But something else could be argued in the defense of affordable child care — that it’s an economic driver for a state struggling to keep young families from leaving or attract them from elsewhere. And that’s an argument that Norton hasn’t heard advocates turn to much so far.

“The question is … is it sufficiently imporNew Artisans every week! tant for the economic well-being of the state Shop anytime at marketplacenewengland.com and the development of an effective workforce to force communities and legislature Over 180 to put some resources here?

resulted in a loss of two over-$30 million grants that would have helped reduce costs.

“In 2011, we took $8 million out of our child care system and we didn’t agree to put it back, so the federal government wasn’t going to invest in us,” Cowell said.

Many of these factors are being experienced nationwide, but the process driving up costs in New Hampshire may actually share some commonalities with the same forces at work behind climbing rents.

To follow this, Norton said that we first need to understand that New Hampshire, like much of the Northeast, is a high-cost area. All of the New England states plus New York and New Jersey were ranked in the bottom 12 for the cost of living category in CNBC’s recent Top States for Business list. New Hampshire was 42nd.

Yet, in the Granite State, Norton said, we have the most robust middle class in the region and some of the highest incomes. The Pew Charitable Trusts showed in a study last year that 49.7 percent of the state — the largest share in the Northeast — was in the middle class in 2013. While states like Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey had higher median incomes, Norton said New Hampshire doesn’t have as many top earners.

“We have a very big middle class. In fact, relative to the rest of the country we have relatively few millionaires,” Norton said.

In many ways, that’s not so good for those in poverty or just above the poverty level who need child care.

“What that means is a certain portion of the population is capable of paying for those significantly higher costs, but we also have poverty and pockets of poverty and those individuals struggle, obviously, to meet the financial obligations of child care,” Norton said.

The same thing is happening with rents, as the Hippo reported in June.

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Stormy weekend

A stormy weekend caused power outages for thousands of southern New Hampshire residents, with trees toppling power lines, crushing cars and buildings, and blocking roads, WMUR reported.

At its peak Eversource reported 60,000 outages, the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative had 9,100 outages, Unitil had 12,500 outages and Liberty Utilities had about 2,800. Nashua was hit especially hard, according to NHPR, with downed wires and a resulting brush fire in Mine Falls Park. Nobody was injured in the storm.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: QOL asked for a little rain, not a crushing storm.

Record sales

75

The New Hampshire Liquor Commission is reporting record sales for the fiscal year 2016, which ended in June, according to The Union Leader — cash registers at all 79 state Liquor and Wine Outlets rang up $678 million, up $36 million or 5.6 percent from the previous years. After expenses, the NHLC was able to deposit $155 million in the state’s general fund. Most liquor sales money is targeted at health and social services, transportation and natural resource protection, according to the story.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Commission Chairman Joseph Mollica attributed the sales increase to many factors, including outlet strategic renovations and relocations and consumer events.

New Hampshire is one of 19 states with a universal reporting law requiring all adults in the state to report child abuse if they are aware of it; failure to do so can result in a misdemeanor charge.

But a new UNH study done by Crimes Against Children Research Center at UNH found many — 39 percent of adults surveyed — were unaware of this universal reporting policy, according to a press release from UNH. QOL Score: -1 Comment: “For these laws to work, the public must be aware of them and influenced by them, but this study indicates these components are lacking,” study lead author Wendy Walsh said in the release.

The lack of rain is hitting New Hampshire farmers hard, according to stories by the Associated Press and Eagle Tribune. Dan Hicks of Sunnycrest Farm in Londonderry said in the Tribune story it’s the driest season he’s ever seen, and at Lavoie’s Farm in Hollis, the corn hadn’t yet broken through and the strawberry fields were stunted, the AP reported. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services categorized the conditions in Rockingham, Strafford and Hillsborough counties as a state of severe drought, but the entire Northeast is being affected, from Maine to Pennsylvania; national weather experts predict the dry weather to continue through October.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Hicks said in the story part of the problem stems from the below-average amount of snow that fell this past winter, limiting the amount of melt refilling ponds and rivers.

The second half started off with a bang for your Boston Red Sox before running into that 37-62 buzzsaw Minnesota Twins over the weekend.

Since it was keyed by booming bats it looked a lot like May when they appeared as if they might run away from the pack in the AL East. Along the way four new bodies were added, and there was solid starting pitching from everyone except Dave Dombrowski’s big additions, David Price and Drew Pomeranz, who did not make a good impression in his first start in front of the home folks. There may even have been a World Series preview when even year San Francisco made a rare Fenway visit sporting the best record in baseball. Though after losing two straight they did not leave town with that distinction. All of which has the signs back to pointing toward the prospect of an exciting last two months of the season.

Here are a few more thoughts that could be part of the story as the drama unfold for the 2016 Sox. Less than five days after I said one of the biggest reasons it was a mistake to give up their No. 1 pitching prospect Anderson Espinoza for a third starter was because “that’s the kind of player that would be needed in a big deal to get an ace like Chris Sale,” guess whose name surfaces on the rumor mill as possibly being available in Chicago? And that was before Sale went postal on those god awful Bill Veeck-inspired ’70s throwback uniforms to get himself suspended.

Baseball 101: This is a big boy question.

At mid-season David Ortiz was on pace to hit 60 doubles, which would make him just the fifth to do it since Earl Webb set the alltime record 67 in 1931. Name the four other players. Hint: They’re all in the Hall.

So is Papi hitting so many doubles because he’s lost some power and well-hit balls are coming up just a little short? Or

because he’s been in the zone all year and ripping big drives all over?

Doesn’t it figure the one time Clay Buchholz doesn’t have the annual June injury and trip to the DL it comes in the year when it wouldn’t matter if he did.

By the way, is Price’s not delivering under the weight of the big contract so far the same reason he’s 2-7 with a 5.12 ERA in the playoffs?

Here’s an amazing Dustin Pedroia stat: In a (how can that be) 10 full big-league seasons he’s never had more than seven errors.

Bill Mazeroski, who got into the Hall because of his glove (and one gigantic homer), is the gold standard for second baseman the last 50 years. But he had 10 seasons with double digits in errors including two with 23 and has 203 career errors to Petey’s 52.

That leads to the obvious question why then is Maz the gold standard? Because he made his money turning double plays. He did it 1,706 times in 17 seasons to Pedroia’s 829 in 10. He turned an amazing 161 in 1966 and had over 100 in 11 seasons. Petey has just three 100-plus seasons with a high of 104.

So with Petey having six years left on his contract, top prospect Yoan Moncada’s will be blocked when he’s ready in 2018. Ditto with Jackie Bradley in center and Mookie in right where he could move to the advantage of his speed and athleticism. So with a probable long-term hole at third base, shouldn’t the brass move him there now so he’s major-league ready there when he arrives? Plus being able to play another spot gives him greater value.

Sports 101 Answer: The 1930s apparently was the decade of doubles as in addition to Webb’s record 67 with Boston in 1931, the other 60 doubles guys are Paul Waner with 62 (1932), Hank Greenberg with 63 (1934), Ducky Medwick with 64 and Charlie Gehringer with 60 (both in 1936).

Guess Christian Vasquez isn’t the second coming of Mickey Cochrane after all

as many in Boston’s media suggested after seven games. They deemed him a “pitch framing wizard” who’d make the staff so much better, when the fact is framing probably affects three pitches a game on a good day.

It also shows moving Blake Swihart immediately to the outfield was a mistake.

Since I never saw the Steven Wright thing happening — 12-5, 2.62 ERA — I’d say the Sox lucked out because with him being out of options they had to keep him out of spring training instead of stashing him in AAA. I liked it better when Jackie Bradley was hitting ninth because it put another good hitter at the top of the order in front of David Ortiz and company the second time around.

In addition, in the first half of JBJR’s first full year his 15 homers and 60 RBI are already more than Jacoby Ellsbury has had in any year besides his MVP-caliber 2011 season. Plus JB plays hurt and is a better center fielder. Still think it was a bad idea not to re-sign Els a few years back?

Maybe the reason Big Papi’s willing to retire despite still hitting phenomenally is he’s seeing A-Rod going out in such embarrassing fashion (.209, 9 homers and 29 RBI) and doesn’t want that to happen to him.

With Rick Porcello a “now that’s more like it” 13-2 after his very bumpy first year, I’d say Ben Cherington is off the hook for the much-criticized large dollar contract he gave him last year. And with Hanley Ramirez hitting five homers in five games last week and playing much better at first than left field, that one’s looking better as well. Though not $22 million per worth.

By the way, I can’t wait to hear before the Cy Young voting why the WAR, WHIP, DIP-STK and other numbers that baseball’s hip culture believes in trump putting your team 11 games over .500.

Fields of dreams steals home Plays of the Week: Early greats Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner did it a major-leaguerecord four times when baseball’s offensive strategies were different. But how often do you see someone steal their way around the bases these days? F-Cat Roemon Fields (of dreams) did it Friday (sorta) when he stole second, took third on an over-throw and then a few pitches later stunned Trenton by beating the pitch to the plate for a rare steal of home. It spurred the four-run fifth-inning rally that propelled the F-Cats to a 5-2 win over the Thunder.

Sports 101: Five players in baseball history have hit 100 or more home runs with three teams. Name them. Hint: One of the five is still active.

Sports Glossary

Mickey Cochrane: Hall of Fame catcher for the ’20s-’30s A’s and mid-’30s Tigers when he was player-manager as they won the ’34 and ’35 pennants. Went to Detroit when A’s owner Connie Mack sold off four Hall of Famers for financial reasons. His .320 lifetime average is the all-time high for catchers. Was MVP in 1934 when Lou Gehrig won the Triple Crown. Mickey Mantle was named after him because he was his father’s favorite player. In the days before batting helmets he spent seven days in a coma after being hit in the squash with a pitch thrown by appropriately named Yankees hurler Bump Hadley and never played again.

Bill Mazeroski: Sorry, Carlton Fisk fans — this man hit the greatest ever World Series homer. It came in the bottom of the ninth of Game 7 in the 1960 to give the gigantically underdog Pittsburgh Pirates a 10-9 win over the Yanks in the greatest game ever played. The power-laden Yanks won three times by scores of 10-0, 13-3 and 16-3 while the Pirates won four tight ones. Interestingly the “other” second baseman Bobby Richardson was MVP after getting a series record 12 hits and hitting the first ever Series grand slam.

Ty Cobb: Fiery and crazed lunatic baseball all-timer with the highest all-time .367 batting average. But did you know his 271 errors are by far the most ever by an outfielder? In contrast, 10-time Gold Glover Ken Griffey Jr. had 89.

Why New Hampshire’s co-op scene is expanding

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Food co-ops are spreading throughout New Hampshire like wildfire.

Right now they exist in Concord, Keene, Hanover and Littleton (not to mention the Hanover and Concord expansions to Lebanon and New London, respectively), and a few more are in the works, in Bedford, Walpole and Milford.

You can blame better-educated consumers, say state and regional co-op representatives, but they say the growth is also due to the model itself, promoting quality produce and supporting local farmers and economies alike.

What’s a food co-op?

A food co-op is a food outlet that’s owned by members instead of a handful of shareholders.

At New Hampshire co-ops, membership numbers tend to run high; for example, HIPPO | JULY 28 - AUGUST 3, 2016 | PAGE 14

the Concord Food Co-op has about 7,000 members, the Littleton Co-op has 5,200, Monadnock Food Co-op has about 2,600 and the Manchester Area Food Co-op, which members hope to open this fall in Bedford’s Harvest Market, already has 1,400. Most join for a one-time fee of $100 or so.

As owners, members serve on the board of directors and vote on major decisions.

Each vote has the same weight as another, no more, no less.

“When you start a business as a sole proprietor, you’re making the decisions yourself, but with a co-op, it’s owned by the community. And that serves as an important piece. It’s getting the community to invest in that vision and join,” said Bonnie Hudspeth, member programs manager of the Neighboring Food Co-op Association, via phone. “Having that democratic process is really crucial to the process.”

Food co-ops sell whatever the members want, but normally, that’s natural, locally produced food, from fresh meats, fruits and vegetables to specialty products. Many offer

workshops, classes or cafes of some sort.

“It’s about buying local and knowing where food comes from and developing a sustainable food source locally,” said Greg Lessard, director of development at the Concord Food Co-op.

Before members start up a co-op, they need to make certain there’s a customer base to support it.

“It’s no different from any business.

But one of the larger challenges for a coop delivering products that are local and organic is the price. The product is just much more expensive to produce. It’s much more labor-intensive to have it on a small-scale farm if you don’t have the industrial equipment of larger farms. Most people don’t understand the amount of work farming takes,” Lessard said.

The benefits

Co-op people like the model because of this ability to control where their food’s coming from.

“There’s a big disconnect, many times,

for the average consumers between the products they’re buying and who owns them,” said Patrick Neily, general manager with the Manchester Area Food Co-op.

“So it’s really empowering to be a member of a food co-op.”

And with this model, the organization doesn’t exist for profit or shareholders. It goes back to the membership somehow, in cash, check or another form.

Emerald Levick, Monadnock Food Coop marketing/membership manager, said that, at three years old, the Monadnock Food Co-op would be the youngest member of National Co-op Grocers giving member owners patronage refunds this year because it was able to reach its cumulative breakeven point.Members can cash a check or donate it to the co-operative community fund.

Lessard said the system’s also friendlier to smaller farmers.

“With something like Market Basket, the purchasing is going to be going on at headquarters. It will be at a much great-

The New Hampshire co-op scene is doing very well when you look at per capita numbers compared with those of other states. Texas, for example, has a grand total of one.

The concept for the management of each co-op is the same, but each has a different character dependent on its geography, demographic and age.

The Hanover Co-op started in 1936 and is the oldest in the state, celebrating its 80th birthday this year. It has a lot of arms; one is the Lebanon Co-op down the street, which opened in 1997. Another is the Co-op Community Food Market in Lyme, which is a combination gas station and convenience store. The main branch is currently in the midst of a $5.3 million renovation, which began in October.

Neily worked with the Hanover Coop for years and is using it as a model for what he envisions for the Manchester Area Food Co-op, with one major location in Bedford opening soon and arms in neighboring communities later on. It’s currently in the midst of a final push, a $1.5 million fundraising campaign to take over the Harvest Market location. The deadline is Oct. 1. Once the money’s raised, Neily said he plans to analyze Harvest Market sales and tap into local producer resources, including New Hampshire Made and local farmers.

He thinks the area’s been in need of a coop for a while.

“Our goal is to be able to support our region of Greater Manchester,” Neily said.

“There are a few very good sources for natural, organic and especially local food, and the demographic of this region very much supports the idea of a co-op.”

The Concord Food Co-op has been around about 30 years, according to its site, and has a cafe and hosts regular workshops. It includes a New London location, acquired in 2009 when it purchased the Kearsarge Cooperative Grocer. But its most recent project involves a strategic partnership with the Canterbury Shaker Village, utilizing its organic garden space to grow crops in order to fill produce department gaps. (For example, Lessard said, it struggled finding local strawberry producers.)

The Monadnock Co-op is the youngest New Hampshire co-op in full swing, having started in April 2013. It recently installed solar panels, which went live in May, making it the first community-supported solar system in the region.

In the co-op world, in New Hampshire and around the globe, everyone knows one another, and everyone’s supportive of one another.

“We all want each other to be successful because if one is not, it actually hurts the cooperative system,” Neily said.

er volume. It’s difficult for a chain store to buy local if there isn’t enough produced for their demand, so even if they’re offering organic, they’re generally not going to go local unless it’s a big farm,” Lessard said.

A co-op as an entity is smaller, so it can work with smaller farms.

“A lot of farmers own farm stands or go to farmers markets, but they like having the guaranteed sales from a co-op,” Lessard said. “They’re growing something specifically for us, in many cases — we tell them what we need, and they plant it and know there’s a market for it.”

Food co-ops can also boost the local economy, which, Neily pointed out, is something many more people are conscious about since the recession. Hudspeth agreed.

“When people saw what was happening with their money [during the recession], they felt the desire to empower themselves economically and have a say in how a business is run,” said Hudspeth, who was a major force in starting the Monadnock Coop, for which efforts began in 2007. “We were launching a member loan campaign in the recession, and more than 100 people made loans. It’s a testimony to how the co-op model works in terms of meeting the needs of the community and empowering people to organize a business that meets their needs and benefits them.”

Farmers share tips and recipes

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Summer is the perfect time of the year to try out new recipes drawn straight from local vendors who sell at farmers markets or from their own onsite farm stands. Several farms in the Granite State raising their own meat and growing their own fruits and vegetables provided recipe suggestions and instructions on how best to use their products for a delicious, healthy meal.

Brandon Sussman of Webster Ridge Farm in Webster says that the proper treatment of chickens on a farm is critical for the overall taste and quality of a recipe.

“We raise [chickens as] humanely as possible in every way,” he said.

Sussman has also raised cows, pigs, lambs and even guinea fowl on his farm, which started back in early 2000. He sells meats and preserves at several farmers markets and local businesses in the greater Concord area.

“It was around July of 2001 that we started raising chickens,” he said. “You get to know a specialty pretty quickly and to learn how to cook them the correct way.”

Sussman provided tips for cooking spatchcocked chicken, the process of which should start a day ahead of time so the chicken can have plenty of time to absorb the brine. After at least eight hours of soaking, Sussman rinses the chicken with water and soaks it for at least 10 minutes. This is followed by “butterflying,” a technique used to make a thick piece of meat thinner, which in turn allows it to cook better and faster. This is done by cutting out the backbone and removing the breastbone.

“It can be done with little to no strength; you just need a sharp little knife that will flatten it out,” he said, adding that it should not be cut too close to the center.

The chicken is then laid across a layer of aluminum foil on a charcoal grill. Sussman Spatchcocked grilled chicken (Serves 4-6 people) Courtesy of Webster Ridge Farm (1482 Pleasant St., Webster; 648-2595; websterridge.com) Brine formula (ingredients for 1 qt.):

said a Weber Kettle works nicely and he advises against using brisquettes. Starting a slower and cooler fire, while adding a few pieces of charcoal and turning — but not flipping — the chicken every 15 to 30 minutes, is ideal. The chicken will be finished grilling in about an hour.

Sides

Veggie lovers can't go wrong with an original salad mix grown and sold by Brookford Farm in Canterbury, which has roughly 40 acres of fresh vegetables in production — and they even make their own salad dressing.

The mix contains a variety of several different vegetables all grown on the farm, according to outreach coordinator Hillary Bailey.

“We use our own compost from our cows, pigs and chickens and they are grass-fed and pasture-raised. So that keeps our vegetable production as sustainable as it can be,” she said.

Bailey said the contents of the salad can change depending on what vegetables are in season.

The garlic and dill salad dressing is made with a soft spread cheese that is mixed with olive oil and vinegar to create a ranch-like in water and soak for 10 minutes. Butterfly the chicken by cutting the backbone and removing the breastbone. The chicken will lay flatter, resulting in more even cooking.

Place the chicken on a large Weber Kettle or other charcoal grill. Start the fire but leave it heaped at one side of the grill. Put down a layer of aluminum foil to shield the chicken from the direct heat, adding a few pieces of charcoal every 15 to 30 minutes.

Turn the chicken (do not flip) to keep from overdoing the edge nearest to the fire.

Chicken will finish cooking in about 1 hour.

Test the chicken’s breasts and thighs using a thermometer.

With more than 500 acres of farmland in Litchfield, the longtime family-run Wilson Farm stands as the largest produce farm in the Granite State.

The farm is open for six months out of the year and largely operates as a retail business.

It has been owned by the Wilson family for generations dating back to 1884.

“We have a very rich farm soil. We make our own compost and use it in the fields,” said Cathy Lemire, Wilson's Farm Stand manager. “Nothing ever goes to waste.”

The Wilsons also own a 33-acre farm and store in Lexington, Mass.

“We grow using what's called integrated pest management, or IPM,” she said. “That means we try not use any pesticide chemicals if possible, and we try to find other ways to control insects and other pests.”

Jason Yu of Wilson Farm said blueberry picking season began in mid-July. The farm sells its own cookbook filled with original recipes, which include several desserts using their own blueberries, like blueberry pie, streusel squares and a shortcake made with blueberries and peaches.

taste. Bailey said the measurements used to make the dressing are a base and adjustments are recommended based on taste preferences.

Brookford Farm is one of the largest family-run operations in the Granite State, with products sold at several farmers markets and other locations in Manchester, Kensington, Salem, Hollis and other towns.

At Apple Hill Farm in Concord, co-owner Diane Souther says they sell their products onsite and also set up shop each week at the Bedford Farmers Market on Tuesdays and the Concord Farmers Market on Saturdays.

What started as a strictly wholesale apple farm back in 1978 has since evolved into an operation that grows more than 40 different kinds of fruits and vegetables “In the '80s, we decided to diversify from just apples to planting additional crops,” said Souther, who, with her husband Chuck, has been involved in the agricultural industry since high school.

“So now we grow peaches, pears, plums, raspberries and blueberries. And we also do all different kinds of cucumbers, summer squashes and zucchinis.”

Souther said a popular summer vegetable recipe is the sauteed patty pan squash, also known as the “spaceship squash” for its physical appearance. She said the squash can

Want to make sure your celery still snaps and your carrot still crunches when you pull them out from storage? Here are a few handy tricks on how best to store, prepare and ripen your fruits and veggies.

Give it a head start

A common mistake among the less produce-savvy among us is to buy already ripe produce even if you don’t plan on eating it right away.

“Unless you’re going to eat something or use something within one to two days, definitely buy something that’s unripe, giving yourself the max amount of time,” said Jay Sjostrom, the produce manager at the Concord Food Coop.

Not only will you be able to lengthen the amount of time you can keep the produce before consuming it, but you have greater control over the ripening process in general.

You can slow things down for some crops and speed things up for others, as needed.

To master this art, one must first understand how produce breathes. Just like each of us humans and our animal friends, produce inhales oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide. Who knew?

For fruits and vegetables, respiration facilitates the oxidation process, which ultimately leads to spoilage. The simplest trick to slow that down is with temperature control.

Cool it

The warmer the temperature, the faster the produce breathes and the faster it spoils.

For most produce, it’s best to keep storage temperatures just above freezing, though it can vary somewhat for specific crops. “[Refrigerators] have pretty good crisper drawers these days with temp control,” Sjostrom said.

He recommends keeping an eye on the temperature in the fridge drawer and making sure it stays around 40 degrees.

But this depends on how soon you want to use it. If you have citrus you plan on eating within three to five days, for example, it’s best to just leave in on a countertop away from sunlight. If you want it to last longer, go ahead and refrigerate it.

Don’t smother it

108598 109266

Now, it may seem counter-intuitive in a world of vacuum-sealed foods all around us, but it’s best to give your produce plenty of space to breathe. The goal is to slow down respiration, but just as with other breathing creatures, you’ll only kill it faster by sealing it in airtight containers. Also be mindful not to cram too much produce into a bin, as being in a cramped space with competition for oxygen is just as likely to quicken their demise.

This gas doesn’t just accelerate spoilage, however; in controlled doses, it can aid in moving along the ripening process. So here’s where you can be a Jedi Master at produce control. If you have a bunch of unripe peaches that you want to hurry up already and ripen, a useful trick is to place them in a paper bag so they all get soaked in each other’s gases already being emitted in the natural process. You can hasten it further by adding a ripe banana to the mix. Want to ripen a green avocado faster? Put it in a bag with an apple.

Your fruits and your veggies do not get along on the playground, so it’s best to separate them. The reason for this is something called ethylene gas. Some crops are more likely to emit it, while other crops are more likely to be affected negatively by it. Generally speaking, this breaks down reliably between fruit as the emitters and veggies as the gas-susceptible.

“Big gas releasers … are primarily just fruit, banana being the biggest,” Sjostrom said. “The more gas sensitive are the veggies.”

If keeping them separate is difficult, there are other ways to cut down on ethylene gas, including buying ethylene gas absorbers to put in your fridge.

Some examples of ethylene gas-emitting produce include apples, avocados, bananas, peaches, pears, nectarines and melons.

And tomatoes. They’re fruit too.

Examples of produce you typically want to keep away from the aforementioned fruits include leafy greens, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, carrots and broccoli.

Keep it intact

Make sure not to puncture or break off part of the produce as exposed surfaces, broken skin or stems can serve as entry points for microorganisms like bacteria. While this is a good rule of thumb for most produce, there are a number of exceptions. Cilantro, for example, is best stored after trimming it by ¼ inch and placing it upright in a glass of water in your fridge.

Sjostrom says it’s OK to chop up kale and cooking greens like collard greens and chard before bagging them. But it’s best to wrap them in a dry paper towel inside the loose bag and use the crisper in your fridge for storage.

To wash or not to wash?

There are a couple different schools of thought on this. Definitely, if you’re just about to eat it, wash it. Some like to use a special produce wash but the scientific jury is still out on whether it does a better job at cleaning off bacteria than tap water.

But if you want to prepare it for storage, there are some who say it’s best not to wash it and instead take a towel and dry it off before storing it, since most veggies are kept under a mist at the grocery store.

Or you can clean the dirt off before storing.

“If you wash it, you’re going to want to dry it because that moisture is going to cause [spoilage] at a faster rate,” Sjostrom said.

Either way, it’s always a good idea to wash it right before preparing it for a meal — even if you cleaned it before storing it — because it can still develop bacteria on the surface while waiting to be eaten.

ARTS Welcome to the symphony New director joins Symphony NH

the potential to do a lot more. … It also has a terrific board — I can’t believe how much they do — and a very dedicated staff. …

The board was very clear about how much progress the orchestra has made the last 10 years. … So many orchestras are perpetually in a financial crisis, and this organization has worked very hard to avoid that.

By Kelly Sennott

After a national search, the Symphony New Hampshire Board of Trustees named Marc Thayer the nonprofit’s new executive director this June.

The board liked Thayer’s varied background; he worked with both the New World Symphony in Miami (1995 to 2002) and the St. Louis Symphony (2002 to 2011) in various roles, and most recently, he was employed by American Voices (2011 to 2016), where he managed cultural programs for the U.S. Department of State and coordinated performing arts and education projects in the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia.

He started July 5 and spoke via phone about his experience so far and what he’s looking forward to in his future with the symphony.

What’s your first week been like?

On Friday I met the mayor, and this morning I met with the Nashua Arts Commission. I’m getting to know our board members, supporters … and the people involved in making all of our programs and educational projects possible. I’ve got lots to learn and catch up on, but I’m enjoying it.

You relocated from St. Louis. Why’d you want to make the move?

Growing up, I spent lots of summers with my parents in the Adirondacks, going to the Adirondack Festival of American Music and participating in its student programs. … I taught for two years at Camp Encore-Coda in Southwest Maine. I’ve always known it’s a very vibrant region for music and arts, and I really wanted to get back into the orchestra world — being involved with a community, doing educational work and finding ways to use music as a way to build community relationships.

This orchestra, I think, is doing that and has

I was impressed to see how much is going on. Many cities close after 5 p.m.

Have you met much with [Music Director] Jonathan McPhee yet?

We’ve had many conversations the past few months. … People have told me that the orchestra sounds 100 times better than it did 10 years ago, and that he did a lot to improve the quality and the experience. … I know people enjoy the fact he’s downto-earth. He’ll explain the music to the audience … and people enjoy the concerts a lot more because of that.

What do you hope to do over the next few years?

I’ll be spending the next few months getting to know the people and the community, talking to constituents about what we feel our priorities are and how we can expand or sustain what we’re doing. We’re fiscally very solid, and we’re going to maintain Tell me about the first event of the seathat.

Helene Farrar’s textural “What We Carry: Balance” depicts a person carrying an impossibly large, colorful storm of baggage made of wax. Another, “Work Day,” shows a tiny figure standing over an enormous rainbow of tasks — also made of wax.

They were the pieces that inspired curator and artist Debra Claffey into putting together the latest show at Twiggs Gallery, “Balancing Acts,” on view July 30 through Sept. 4.

There’s a reception Thursday, Aug. 4, from 5 to 7 p.m.

“I was thinking about how difficult it is for us as artists to juggle so many roles these days. We have to be entrepreneurs, we have to be computer savvy, we have to be photographers, we have to be marketers, and we have to carry our work all over the place. Most artists have to work full time, and they’re also parents and married,” said Claffey, a New Boston artist, via phone.

The exhibition’s made up of art by seven regional artists — Claffey, Farrar, Jeanne Borofsky, Pamela Crabb, Kimberly Curry, Angel Dean and Soosen Dunholter — whose work in wax explores themes of precarious balance. Dunholter and Claffey are from New Hampshire, while the rest live in neighboring New England states.

Claffey said she likes the medium because of its versatility. Most of the represented artists were painters or sculptors before they took up encaustic, a wax-based paint composed of beeswax, resin and pigment that is kept molten on a heated palette before painted or sculpted. It means there’s less waiting, more creating.

“Unlike with oil paint, you don’t have to wait for it to dry before you work on the next layer. You put it on melted, and as soon as it’s cool, it’s hard enough to keep going,” Claffey said. “I also like that it’s from natural materials from the earth.”

With wax, you can also write or carve on it, imbed items in it, polish it or make it translucent. Dunholter said she likes the depth and luster of the medium, and the surprises that come from working with it.

“There’s the clean line that you intentionally mark, and there are the unpredictable imperfections of the wax paper that appear,” Dunholter said. “And I love texture. I’m always all about texture.”

For “Balancing Acts,” Claffey chose pieces that represent all you can do with the medium. Hers contained her grandmother’s crocheted doilies imbedded inside the wax with leaf prints on top.

Dean’s pieces are like colorful wax assem-

blages with found objects like keys, bottle caps, scrap metal, wire, locks, washers, even a Parcheesi board. Curry’s artwork contains wallpaper from old Maine farmhouses, and some of Crabb’s are encaustic sculptures that look like stacked ocean rocks, balanced on top of one another.

Borofsky’s artwork looks like it requires balance just to hold it all together; they’re rainbow origami wax houses, stacked whimsically on top of one another in rows and columns, set against bright, swirling patterns.

All the artists interpreted the theme differently as well; Dunholter of Peterborough said three of her pieces deal with balance, while others act as a response to learning about her autoimmune disease. Getting back into artwork has helped her work through it and find balance again in her daily life.

“I always feel so much better when I’m in the studio creating something,” Dunholter said.

NH art world news

• New director at The Currier Museum of Art: On Monday, July 25, the Currier Museum of Art’s Board of Trustees announced that Alan Chong has been unanimously approved as the museum’s new director and CEO starting Sept. 8. According to a press release, he’ll be the ninth director in the museum’s 87-year history, succeeding Susan Strickler, who retired June 30 after holding the position since 1996. A committee of board members and the museum’s executive team conducted an international search with the help of Opportunity Resources in New York to find him.

Wong held the position of the Lia and William Poorvu Curator of the Collection at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston from 1999 through 2010. Afterward, he moved to Singapore to become director of the Asian Civilisations Museum and the Peranakan Museum, where he helped re-conceptualize the collection to reflect the country’s cross-cultural heritage. He also constructed new wings for an expanded collection, strengthened school and educational programs and curated exhibitions there. Since April 2013, he’s headed the Cultural Academy and Curatorial Forum of the National Heritage Board, Singapore.

“Alan is an outstanding fit for the Currier,” M. Christine Dwyer, president of the Currier Museum’s board of trustees and chair of the search committee, said in the press release. “He brings to the museum Call 617-257-5298.

• Seed art: On view at Exeter Fine Crafts (61 Water St., Exeter, 778-8282, exeterfinecrafts.com) for the month of August is artwork by Doug Johnson, who has created elaborate, meticulous works of art out of seed beads. He uses the material to illustrate landscapes, cityscapes and other works of art, and one piece, according to the press release, can contain as many as 300,000 individual beads. Johnson works from sketches, photographs or, for extremely technical pieces, bead graph paper, where he maps out his ideas before turning to his looms.

His work has been exhibited in art shows in Boston and Cape Cod and can be found in corporate and private collections across the country. He’ll participate in two artist demonstrations — one on Friday, Aug. 5, from 4 to 7 p.m., and another Saturday, Aug. 13, between noon and 3 p.m.

• Viewfinder: The first mainstage show of the season at Andy’s Summer Playhouse, 582 Isaac Frye Highway, Wilton, is Viewfinder, written and directed by the kid’s theater company’s artistic director Jared Mezzocchi. The production asks audiences to dig deep into their psyches and practice the art of living in the moment instead of by photos, according to a press release. It questions, at what point do pictures block us from the world in which we live? The play, Mezzocchi said in the release, was inspired by the true story of a person who found a roll of film in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, and posted the developed photos on the internet in search of the owner.

“Every year I challenge the team of children and professional designers to explore concepts of performance that utilize multimedia in new ways. This year we’re using technology to interrogate the ever-increasing accessibility to cameras, smartphones and online connectivity. The ensemble of actors constantly inspire me to dig deeper into how we tell stories and, after seven years of working and growing up with them at Andy’s, I’m more excited than ever to tackle this particular story,” Mezzocchi said in the release. Shows this weekend are Thursday, July 28, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, July 29, at 7:30 p.m.; and Saturday, July 30, at 5 p.m. Tickets are $14 artists. On view July 18-Sept. 2.

As is customary, the annual Canterbury Fair will return for its 58th year on the last Saturday in July.

The long-standing tradition observes 1959 as its first year, when the Canterbury Ladies Benevolent Society decided to add a chicken barbecue to its Canterbury Country Fair and Bazaar, an event it had been sponsoring for several years before that. Profits ended up increasing tenfold due to the barbecue, which continues to be a main feature today. More than 10,000 people visited the fair for the day during its peak year in 1981.

“It’s a quaint and pretty simple fair,” said Kate Luczko, PR and marketing chair of the Canterbury Fair Committee, “but it’s nice in that way, if families are looking for a fun day and looking to do some cool stuff.”

Luczko said the fair is unique in that it is entirely volunteer-run, and it features mostly local people and vendors.

“Every year, we raise money for different funds in Canterbury, so it’s sort of always become a place where townspeople can go and ask for money for different purposes around town,” she said, “and it’s also a chance for people to gather 58th annual Canterbury Fair When: Saturday, July 30, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“The Sunset Mountain Fish and Game Club has been doing the barbecue for years now, so that’s been a really cool partnership,” Luczko said. “They’ll be serving Shaker squash rolls as well.”

Several all-day events will also be returning to this year’s fair, including the annual “What-Not Sale,” which will feature local antique dealers and other vendors selling books, crafts and other items.

IN/OUT THE GARDENING GUY

Open garden

How to lead visitors on a tour

By Henry Homeyer

listing@hippopress.com

Garden clubs often enliven the summer by asking members to open their gardens to fellow members and friends for an afternoon.

For some, this is a terrifying day — they fear people will criticize their design, notice the weeds, make fun of the garden whimsy. For others, open gardens are fun. People walk through, talking plants and sharing ideas about how to create special garden spaces with plants that are right for the terrain.

Clearly the second group of gardeners has more fun.

There is a group of gardeners in Lyme that encourages garden visits: they call their events “Pardon My Garden.” They acknowledge that few of us ever have a “perfect” garden, no matter how hard we work or how many weeders we employ. My garden isn’t perfect? So what. Gimme some ideas. I love the concept.

But let’s say you wish to open your garden to a group, or just to have a garden party for a dozen close friends. How do you get people to move around and find the special places and plants you have, especially if you have a large space? I think that hardscape is the answer: paths, archways, arbors, pottery, sculpture, stonework and water all will attract the eye and draw a visitor forward.

Let’s look at these.

The most ambitious is to create paths.

Public gardens use them to keep the foot traffic from killing the grass, and to direct people through the gardens. Often the walkways are covered with gravel and edged with steel or aluminum strips buried vertically in the soil. These pieces of edging often come in 20-foot sections and are serious work to install. I’ve done it, but it’s Thurs., Aug. 11, 1 to 2 p.m. Registration and permission slip is required. Registration forms are available at the library or you can download and print your own copy at goffstownlibrary. com/teensummer. Thurs., July 28, 1 to 2 p.m. Goffstown Public Library, 2 High St., Goffstown.

not easy.

In home gardens, paths between beds and from one part of the garden to another generally are grass. Sometimes people put down ground bark or wood chips to define paths, though I prefer grass. And flat stones work well, too, for short paths.

The only trouble with stone paths is that it’s tough to mow around stones if they are raised up at all. So if you install flat stones, be sure to dig out enough soil so that your stones will be even with the ground and you can mow the spaces between and around the stones. Sure, you can use a string trimmer to do the job, but that is slower.

Wooden archways and arbors invite visitors to pass through them to see what’s on

the other side. I have made them out of bentwood and out of cedar posts. I have grown clematis, scarlet runner beans and wisteria on them. All are lovely. One word of advice if you are custom-making an arbor: design it so that your lawnmower goes through easily. Four to five feet is good.

I recently weeded out a dry shady garden that has a nice piece of exposed ledge.

I realized that I rarely noticed the ledge.

I want visitors to pause and look at the unusual palette of plants I use in front of the ledge, too (now that the weeds are gone).

What did I do? I moved a tall blue ceramic planter that I had on my shady deck down to the ledge. I have a vine with green and white leaves spilling out of the vase. It real-

ly brings the eye to that space.

If you have gardens on different levels, stone steps are great. Line them with plants that have interesting foliage that looks good all summer. People just want to walk up steps to see what is at the top (like the bear going over the mountain in that kids’ song).

I put in steps a few years ago and they are a constant source of pleasure for me.

Fountains, pools, ponds, streams are good visual attractions, too. I am blessed with a natural stream, and find I am drawn to it daily. I keep the edges mowed so that weeds don’t obstruct the view.

Places to sit call out to visitors. I made a bench with a piece of white marble some years ago. Even though it is not a particularly comfortable place to sit (it’s hard, stone is cold, and it has no back), it draws me across the lawn. It is enhanced by an umbrella plant (Darmera peltata) I planted in 2009 to honor my late sister. It is a dramatic plant: it has leaves 16 to 20 inches in diameter standing up nearly 4 feet tall.

My Adirondack chairs also beckon to me, and to visitors. I got wooden ones and painted them magenta. Even from a long distance, they stand out in contrast to the greens everywhere else. I gravitate toward them.

And, for gardeners, plants are the ultimate call. Have a magnolia in bloom? We all will walk to it. Roses? We want to sniff them, even if they are largely scentless, as most new roses are today. And even if your garden will never be on a garden tour, creating a draw will please you and your family.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, Both of my parents have passed away, and now my siblings and I are cleaning out their house in Monroe. In their basement there is a hobnail safe that I believe came from my father’s uncle. We don’t know what to do with it. I’ve searched online a bit and found information, but I wasn’t able to gauge the marketability for it.

If you could provide any information on the age and value that would be great.

We have the key for it, and it has been opened and closed successfully, so it is still functional.

Deb from Chester Dear Deb, Wow, I have never seen a safe quite like that before. Usually they are painted black with a Victorian design or scene on them, but hobnail style — like, I said, wow.

These were very popular during the late 1800s into the 1900s. In most cases the size is similar to yours, but they do run smaller or larger. Sometimes inside they have multiple compartments or drawers. There were several companies making them, and sometimes that can weigh in on the value.

The problem is the weight of these safes.

They are really really heavy and tough to move. So marketability is not very easy.

But I do know some people still use them.

If it were me I would put an ad in a local paper to see if anyone in the Monroe area would be interested to come and take it away.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

What’s the best way to clean those headlights?

Dear Car Talk: Please settle yet another marital dispute. When cleaning the windshield at the filling station, one of us always likes to give the headlamps a scrubbing;

By Ray Magliozzi the other thinks that doing so puts tiny scratches on the plastic lens, and over the years this will lead to light scattering and reduced visibility. Is it OK to routinely clean the lenses in this manner, or should they be cleaned only under running water, with the scrubbing saved for emergencies? — Ronald I’m having trouble figuring out which position each of you is taking. I’m guessing you’re the headlight scrubber, Ronald. But I know if I showed an interest in cleaning anything, my wife would be thrilled.

Anyway, now most headlight covers are made of polycarbonate plastic and are covered with a clear-coat sealant of some kind.

And over time, that sealer wears off, and the plastic gets yellowed and dulled. The biggest culprit is ultraviolet light from the sun, but road grit and the heat from the headlamps play a role, too.

Overly rough scrubbing of the plastic

or using an abrasive cleanser certainly can scratch them up, too. But mostly, these lenses die of natural causes: sun and heat.

When the lenses get cloudy and yellow, your best bet is to take the car to a shop, where they’ll use professional tools and special chemicals to buff out the yellowed plastic and, in some cases, seal it again. It won’t last as long as the original coating on the lens, but it’ll at least help for a while. There are do-it-yourself products, but those are even shorter-lasting, in our experience.

And in the meantime, you’re free to clean the lenses to your heart’s content. But I never would suggest scrubbing them; I’d clean them with a squeegee, like the one you use for your windshield at the gas station.

Wipe them with the wet sponge (with 50,000 windshields’ worth of dirt, since the gas station hasn’t changed that water since the Carter administration), and then gently clear them off with the rubber blade on the other side. Or wipe them with a clean, soft cloth. Or get your own squeegee and use mild soap and water — and avoid the prehistoric mud and potentially abrasive grit in the water at the gas station.

And if this interest in cleaning things persists, Ronald, your wife wrote to me and asked me to suggest some dishes.

Dear Car Talk: Two years ago, we bought a low-mileage, 2010 PT Cruiser for our middle-aged daughter. The previous owner was the original, 50-something female owner, who took meticulous care of the car and had all her mechanical papers to prove it. It ran like a top. But in less than two years, we have paid to replace the water pump, fuel pump, radiator, starter and battery. And now it’s sitting idle in our daughter’s driveway with a “blown head gasket.” We’ve come to find out that her daughter, our teenage granddaughter, had some of her high-school friends “soup it up,” and that she will use only premium gas in it, despite the fact that it requires regular gas. When this one “blew the head gasket,” a family friend bought our granddaughter a slightly older, but nice, BMW. Again, she had her friends soup it up, and she uses only premium gas in it. It now sits beside the PT cruiser, idle, with a “blown head gasket.” My question: Can using premium gas in a car that requires regular gas cause a blown head gasket? Is it possible that her friends, in souping up these cars, caused damage that resulted in a blown head gasket? — Maureen Well, first of all, I have several buddies in the head-gasket-replacement business who are dying for this kid to move to their town.

It sounds like she’s great for business.

Premium gas had nothing to do with croaking these cars, Maureen. More likely, these kids are driving the blazes out of them and frying the engines.

I don’t know what kind of “souping up” they did -- maybe they changed the valve timing or added a free-flow exhaust system or something. But the very fact that they’re “souping them up” tells me that they’re eager to drive the cars fast and hard. And that’s the problem.

Is it possible to drive a car so hard that it overheats and blows a head gasket? It absolutely is. And circumstantial evidence strongly suggests that that’s what your granddaughter and her friends did -- twice.

It doesn’t make her an awful person, Maureen. Lots of kids do stupid things. My brother was in the Stupidity Hall of Fame as a teenager (first ballot) -- and that was before he ran our father’s Chevy out of oil.

But your granddaughter clearly does not understand the relationship between driving a car hard and having that car stop running. Or the relationship between all that and money.

So while it’s awfully nice of you and your friends to keep buying her cars, I’d stop doing that, and make your next vehicle donation to her a Schwinn.

The 29th annual Weare Rally is a family-oriented event hosted by the Merrimack Valley Military Vehicle Collectors Club. Courtesy photo.

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

The largest military vehicle demonstration in New England will roll into Weare Thursday, July 28, for four days featuring military Jeeps and tanks on display, Army-style grub, trail rides, a huge flea market and more.

The free event is hosted by the Merrimack Valley Military Vehicle Collectors Club, which formed in 1986. Organizer Larry Damour said anyone who is not a member of the club is welcome at the rally, for just a day or for a whole camping experience.

“We try and always hold events that are family-oriented and that generally have some kind of educational benefit,” Damour said.

Damour said the Weare Rally started as a display of 15 to 20 vehicles with only 12 to 15 families camping out in tents. But it has grown to more than 100 types of vehicles and has thousands of visitors each year.

The event is held at a large field behind the Center Woods Elementary School in Weare.

“It’s really in the middle of nowhere,” Damour said. “There’s no electricity or running water.”

He said there are designated areas for campers and RVs and one for tent camping.

A mess tent complete with an Army-style fuel kitchen will be set up each night to serve food. Damour said the first night on Thursday will feature a clambake with lobster steamers and corn on the cob, at about 5 p.m. On Friday night, a spaghetti dinner will be served, followed by a prime rib dinner on Saturday night.

“Everything is cooked at the fuel kitchen, with no electricity under the tent,” he said.

“It’s almost cafeteria style, like it is in the Army. Even the meal tickets are copies of the World War II U.S. Army meal tickets.

None of the other military vehicle clubs in New England do meals like these. It’s one of the things that is unique to our rally.”

Other food options will include Angelino’s Sausage House in Hillsborough, as well as a Good Humor ice cream truck.

Each day, the rally will feature a series of military vehicle displays and scenic trail rides across some of the dirt back roads in Weare’s surrounding towns.

“We have people come in with big trucks, small trucks, Jeeps and even several tanks,” Damour said. “We’re the only club that does a trail ride for tanks.”

One of these trail rides visits the Pleasant Pond in Henniker for anyone interested in going for a swim and cooling off.

“It’s a very busy rally. There’s always something going on,” he said.

Damour said there are no strict hours of operation.

“Typically, most of the activities start at 8 a.m. and wind down around 6 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday,” he said.

“But some of the trail rides will run until well past midnight each night, because some of them are with vehicles with blackout lights. People can just really kind of come and go on their own, though.”

Damour said Sunday is usually the day designated for cleanup.

I set up all their appointments so they don’t have to. … I’m the one that’s… right there with them so they don’t feel so alone during that whole procedure.

FOOD Jazzed up

Gatsby-themed dinner features ’20s-inspired menu

News from the local food scene

By Angie Sykeny

Enjoy a night of swing, Champagne and classy food at the Grand Gatsby Dinner & Garden Party hosted by Bedford Village Inn on Thursday, Aug. 4. The Inn’s Courtyard Gardens will be transformed into a 1920s wonderland with decor, music, drinks and a dinner menu inspired by the parties in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel The Great Gatsby.

This will be BVI’s second time throwing a Gatsby-themed event.

“We’re always trying to think about new things we can do with the spaces we have available,” Jack Carnevale, BVI president, said.

The courtyard will be adorned with strung lights, large floral arrangements and vintage cars. A band will play jazz and swing music from a deck overlooking the courtyard, and guests are welcome to get up and dance at any point of the evening.

1920s period attire is also encouraged.

“It’s fun for people to get dressed up in that kind of garb,” Carnevale said. “It’s one of those things where people like to see if they can outdo each other with how they dress up.”

The evening will begin at 6 p.m., with a cocktail hour featuring stationary hors d’oeuvres like a crudité and fruit display and crackers and breads with assorted dips.

There will also be passed plates including Cape Cod oysters, smoked salmon, truffled beef tartare, roasted pepper-stuffed

A farewell to Finesse: Finesse Pastries (968 Elm St., Manchester, 232-6592, finessepastries.com) will be closing its retail walk-in business as of Wednesday, Aug. 3, to focus on pursuing a new location closer to Boston. “Our lease is ending at the end of the year, and it was always kind of the plan and faraway dream to move Finesse to Boston,” head chef and owner Chelsey Erickson told the Hippo. “We’re sad to go; Manchester has been good to us, but Finesse has been doing really well so we’re excited to move down there and start this next chapter.” Since opening in 2012, the gourmet patisserie has offered “a little taste of Paris right in Manchester” with a variety of French pastries, cakes, confections and breads. The Manchester location will continue to offer wholesale, online ordering, macaron shipping and its popular baking classes through the end of 2016. Finesse will also be at Manchester’s farmers market in August. Check their website or facebook. com/finessepastries for further updates.

• Celebrate local food: August is New Hampshire Eat Local Month, a statewide celebration of local food, farmers and producers. Fifty-nine partners will come together for a month of programming including film showings, special meals, fairs and festivals, lectures and more. “All month long, we hope to inspire you to eat more locally grown, raised and made foods, meet the farmers, growers and chefs behind your food and learn new skills that keep you eating locally throughout the year,” Jen Risley of New Hampshire Farms Network said in a press release. Meanwhile, National Farmers’ Market Week is Sunday, Aug. 7, through Saturday, Aug. 13. For more information and a calendar of events, visit nheatlocal.org.

• New concept on Elm: Upscale restaurant 1oak on Elm (1087 Elm St., Manchester, 206-5599, facebook.com/1oakonelm) has temporarily closed for renovations and will reopen with a new concept in mid-August, according to its Facebook page. “After lots of research, we have decided to stay clear of the upscale dining. We will keep everyone updated,” the post said. 1oak held its grand opening last New Year’s Eve. The Dugout sports bar located under the restaurant will remain open.

mushrooms and more. A full bar will be available with cocktails and Scotch, and a toast will be made with Champagne poured fountain-style over a pyramid of ’20s-era Champagne glasses.

After the cocktail hour, guests will be seated for dinner at a single long table.

“We set it up with one table this year so it’s a more convivial event,” Carnevale said. “People can sit across from each other and get to know each other while they eat, then get up and dance if they want to.”

Dinner will consist of three courses: chilled olive oil poached shrimp for the first course, grilled stone fruit salad for the second and prosciutto-wrapped filet mignon for the entree. The courses will be paired with wines, and the BVI staff will be dressed in tuxedos and formal attire as they serve the food to add to the posh ambience.

“We tried to go back to the period and pick food that they’d serve at Gatsby’s event and that’s reminiscent of the ’20s and ’30s. That’s how our chef designed the menu,” Carnevale said.

Following dinner, there will be passed dessert selections including chocolate bourbon pecan tartlets, mini pineapple upside down cakes, dark rum and peach doughnut holes and raspberry lime mousse cakes.

The band will continue to play for guests to dance and mingle until the event wraps up at 10 p.m.

“People had so much fun the first time we did it,” Carnevale said. “It’s just a perfect atmosphere and a beautiful summer evening to enjoy great food and great music.”

small staffs, but working hard to make a diverse range of products,” said Bill Herlicka, GSBA president and owner of White Birch Brewing. “You’re going to find plenty of summer seasonals, IPA and double IPA, rye ales, pale ales, Belgian styles, German styles, and there’s rumor of a pilsner or two, so there’s a lot of good stuff coming.”

The breweries will be lined up alphabetically under a giant tent, along with a variety of local food vendors selling barbecue, Asian cuisine, pizza and other fare. Sample sizes of the brews will be 2 to 3 ounces, and rather than a set number of beer tickets, festival admission will grant people unlimited samples to enjoy at their own judgment.

There will be brews coming from all over the state, from as close as Stark Brewing Co., Candia Road Brewing Co. and Great North Aleworks in Manchester to as far as Schilling Beer Company in Littleton and Moat Mountain Smokehouse & Brewery in North Conway.

Herlicka estimates about half of the participating breweries are two years old or younger and “still getting on their feet.”

“You’ve got a wide range of brewers coming from all around the state,” he said, “so it’s a great way to visit and meet with the brewers and try them all here in Manchester in one location.”

What’s unique about the New Hampshire brewery scene, Herlicka said, is the variation; there are no overarching trends or dominant styles that define and direct the market.

“I think New Hampshire breweries are a reflection of New Hampshire citizens,” he said. “We’re fiercely independent, want to do our own thing, friendly and social. … Much like the diversity of our state’s regions and population, there’s a real diversity of interests and styles among the brewers.”

FROM THE

pantry

Ideas from off the shelf

Chicken riggies Since moving, we’ve had a constant influx of visitors. Typically, I’m stuck in the kitchen cooking up breakfast, lunch and dinner when we have guests. So it was an unexpected treat when friends from college came for a visit and cooked for me.

Each guest brings his or her own culinary experiences. We’ve had friends and family visit and make everything from eggrolls to eggplant Parmesan. A guest this past weekend made chicken riggies, and if you’ve never heard of chicken riggies, you’re likely not alone.

Chicken riggies is a dish unique to Utica, New York. It’s essentially oversized rigatoni noodles cooked with chicken in a red-and-white cream sauce. Brimming with onions, peppers and garlic, this dish is great for family-style dinners. It’s hearty and spicy and comes together quickly, or you can start it early and let the sauce cook while spending time with your company.

This particular guest used to make our friend group chicken riggies in college, and I remembered it being similar to any other pasta dish. But my memory didn’t serve me well. After taking one bite, I knew I needChicken riggies Recipe adapted from All Recipes 1 16-ounce package rigatoni 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut in bite-sized pieces Salt and pepper to taste, and red pepper flakes as desired 1 onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 cubanelle pepper, seeded and thinly sliced 3 roasted red peppers, drained and chopped 2 hot cherry peppers, seeded and minced 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• OVEN BAKED ZUCCHINI FRIES Kids ages 3 to 6 make the breaded and baked treat with a tangy dipping sauce.

Hour-long workshop includes a craft or book reading. Fri., Aug. 19 at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.; Sat., Aug. 20, at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. The Culinary Playground, 16 Manning Street, Suite 105, Derry. Cost

ed the recipe. Since the sauce we ate was prepared using a family recipe, I decided to see what a quick internet search brought up and came up with a recipe that tasted very similar to the spicy, savory dish I had eaten.

Although the recipe I found seemed on first glance to be a bit lacking in the spice department, the quick addition of red pepper flakes remedied the problem. Adding a few more hot cherry peppers increased the heat as well.

The large rigatoni are perfect for sopping up the creamy sauce. The sautéed chicken turns this pasta dish into a complete meal, and the Parmesan cheese helps cut through some of the spice. Plus, depending on what type of sauce base you start with — my friend started with a simple red sauce — you end up getting two types of sauces from one dish that can be set aside or frozen for a meal later on.

While it was nice having company cook for me for a change, it was even nicer learning a new recipe that I’ll be able to share with more house guests in the future.

— Lauren Mifsud Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the rigatoni pasta, and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain and keep warm. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and cook in the hot oil until lightly browned on all sides and cooked through, about 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan, and set aside. Stir in the onion, garlic, and cubanelle peppers. Cook and stir until the onion has softened, about 4 minutes. Add the roasted red peppers, hot cherry peppers, and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the heavy cream and cooked chicken. Simmer 2 or 3 minutes, then stir in the pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.

One area of the wine business I am always interested in is consumer behavior. How do customers shop for wine, and how do winemakers make their products more appealing? Some winemakers choose to be part of the mix of wines in the aisles of stores, while others choose to sell their products in select shops or just at the winery.

Since I am taking a short break from drinking wine to complete a clean eating challenge through my gym, I turned to my Facebook friends to get their feedback on how they shop for wine. I also asked them if they had a favorite, and if so, how they discovered it, or how they discover new wines in general. I compared their responses to the WineBusiness.com 2015 American Wine Consumer Preference Survey.

This survey was conducted for the second time in May 2015 and included 1,072 American wine consumers with all 50 states included. In the sample, 59 percent were women and 41 percent were men. The age groups were fairly evenly spread out across the board. Of the entire group, 56 percent said they “consume wine daily or several times per week” — these were called “High Frequency Wine Drinkers.” The other 44 percent were “Occasional Drinkers.”

When it came to wine purchase decisions, 72 percent of those surveyed said price was most important, followed by brand at 67 percent. Varietal was next, with only 36 percent, followed by country at 35 percent. They most commonly purchased wine from a liquor store, followed by the grocery store, warehouse/discount store and then a winery tasting room.

I wanted to see what some real people that I know personally had to say and asked them on Facebook. Overall, the most common responses were price and label, followed closely by mood (red or white): “I usually start with the grape I want (pretty much always reds), and I will shop by location since I tend to like what’s coming out of California, France and Spain.

After that, I really appreciate a vineyard that uses some creativity — in their wine, their story, their label. I’d be lying if I said that price didn’t matter. Usually I can find something great for a decent price, and I’ve learned to never ignore sales. When a $50 petite syrah or pinot are available for under $30, it’s usually an experience worth paying for.” — Rob Other responses that mentioned wine labels:

“Definitely by the label … but only reds will do. Barefoot Merlot is my regular buy, but anything with a quirky label is “tested:” Red Truck, Happy Camper, and don’t forget ‘House Wine.’” — Amy “Typically where they are from and then coolest label.” — Susan “1. Kind of wine, 2. Label (mostly because I’m fairly novice and pretty pictures sell), 3. Price.” — Andrie “I won’t lie, when I’m in the liquor store I look for a cool label. When I’m in a restaurant I just take a chance.” — Carol “After trying all sorts of reds, Sarah and I shop now by kind (malbec). When we finally discovered malbec, we just tried several different kinds of them — usually by the most classy-looking or intriguing-looking label artwork that also didn’t break the bank. Elena Bodega de Mendoza became our favorite. Barefoot’s Malbec is also pretty good on any old day.” — Eric “I have to admit I first judge a wine by the label artwork; however, it is more important to me that the label includes a description of the taste, written in a way that I, a wine lover, not a wine expert, can understand.” — Lindsay Other responses included a specific wine or varietal (Bota Box, chardonnay, wine from New Zealand or Rhode Island) and of course a couple humorous responses like Carlo Rossi (thanks, Eric) and whatever is being poured (Alex). Overall, most people discovered what they liked by going to tastings, trying friends’ wine or by recommendation, or just taking a chance on something through trial and error.

And like my friend Nick said, “While I like to go with what I know should be good, I am willing to take a calculated risk to try something new. After all, how much worse is a bad glass of wine than no glass of wine?” I agree.

POP CULTURE

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Dinosaur Jr., Give A Glimpse Of What Yer Not (Jagjaguwar Records)

I’ve never been much into this legendary UMass-Amherst-hatched trio, being that in their early days there was a lot of local and worldwide competition in the area of jangly/loud/psychedelic indie rock — I literally threw albums from labels like Sub-Pop and SST in the trash if they didn’t grab me within 15 seconds.

But getting to know the band’s debut album Dinosaur after never-mind-howmany-years is a revelation if you haven’t tried it. It had a woodsy, haunted, paisley vibe that was simultaneously fierce and vulnerable when it wasn’t being straightout noisy/skronky. Black Lips and Warlock are the closest things to that these days, and that does take into account this new LP from the guys themselves, the follow-up to 2012’s I Bet on Sky, an arena-grunge-meets-Flaming Lips-meetsTom Petty knuckleball that must have been what they were aiming for from the beginning. GAGOWYN picks up where that one left off, a Foo Fighters-fueled 1970s-metal trip opening things up (“Goin’ Down”), followed by a Pixies basher (“Tiny”) and the Goo Goo Dolls-ish “Be a Part.” If it weren’t for Mascis’ wobbly vocal control you’d be able to tell the kids it’s new Nirvana stuff, honestly — it’s that good (or bad, depending). A — Eric W. Saeger Micronotz, The Beast That Devoured Itself (Bar None Records)

This is Bar None’s digital reissue (along with four other albums from the same crew) of the Lawrence, Kansas-based punk band that was a snappy answer to Husker Du, Minutemen, that sort of thing. The jagged, wise-ass sound is, of course, less wide here, not that it had to be, but OK, sure, digital it is. This was the second full-length, which captured the band fresh out of their teens (if that), although Dean Lubensky sounds like a 60-year-old hollering at someone to get off his lawn in a rough, enraged holler throughout.

This was all part of a movement to get punk deeper into the Midwest, which, as we know now, worked pretty well. Standard slam-dance fare, but the locals must have looked at them like they were Godzilla, as they do now out in Kansas — these guys even have a tribute band to head up the gaggle of bands comprised of the same lost teens these guys once were. There won’t be anything further from them, as they’re long disbanded, but this one’s a great throwback curio. B+ — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases

• Since it’s been four years since Canadian punk band Billy Talent put out an album, you may have forgotten about them, but even more likely, you’ve never heard of them, because you’ve never slamdanced in Canada, a country just north of here, where slam-dancing is done with extreme politeness lest precious beer be spilled. Their fifth LP, Afraid of Heights, is coming out, so it’s time for me to investigate Canadian punk on the YouTube. Ah, here’s the title track. Why does the singer use the same hillbilly shtick as Axl Rose? Yeah, this sounds like Axl Rose singing for Gang of Four, except with real production values. I think this song is ripping off Blue Oyster Cult a little. All this must have you thinking either “Boy, that sounds awesome” or “Why would anyone do this?” You are correct.

• Cleveland metalcore-or-whatever-they-call-it-these-days outfit Ringworm release an album called Snake Church. They’ve done a couple of split-EPs, something that’s always made me suspicious: why do one side of a record and let some other band have the other side? Do these guys actually get girls and stuff? “Hey there, cutie, did you know I’m in [band you’ve never heard of] and we just wrapped up half a record with [another band you’ve never heard of]! What’s that? No, we’re on one side and they’re on the other.” I mean, would that even work in today’s dating scene? It’d be like getting half a cool boyfriend, right, single ladies? Wait a second, these guys are on Relapse Records, which means they’re cool. Let’s cut the snark and go wreck our eardums, with the dulcet metal-core-whatever tones of whoever we were talking about. The video of the title track has a snake moving around, and some guy talking in a devil voice. OK, 35 seconds in, and it’s still a snake and a devil voice. Wait, there’s the riff, and it’s super-heavy, like Anthrax but nice and raw. Oops, the YouTube commenters are fighting over whether the lyrics are stupid or not. The lyrics are stupid, but no way I’m getting into some war of words with an 11-year-old, no sir!

• Redundant corporate-country mannequin Jake Owen releases American Love. Did you know that his real name is Josh, but he changed his name to Jake because there were already two corporatecountry Joshes, namely Josh Turner and Josh Gracin? It’s true! But why “Jake?” Isn’t Jake The Snake Roberts a country singer? Oh, he’s a wrestler? Is there a difference? Who cares, let’s go listen to the single, called “American Country Love Song!” Ha ha, he’s sort of rapping, when he’s not singing about beer and flags or whatnot!

Do they allow rapping in country music? He’s gonna get beer bottles thrown at him, I just know it!

• Jeez, looky there, it’s the Descendents, where have they been?

Wow, their last LP was in 2004. But the wait, if you’ve been waiting for some awesome old-school punk, is over, as their new album Hypercaffium Spazzinate is due out, like, now! There is a single, sort of, called “Victim of Me,” and it’s 1:37 long. Oh my gosh, it’s actual punk rock — buy this for your hipster youngling and watch him crack in half. Priceless! — Eric W. Saeger

31-year-old woman for having a baby out of wedlock, are you kidding? Yet that’s what was done at the time,” McDonough said. “I knew this was what I was going to use. I read the book cover to cover. …

Her story seemed to me very contemporary and worth talking about.”

The House on Primrose Pond follows historical novelist Susannah Gilmore who, after a traumatic loss, moves from Brooklyn to her late parents’ home in Eastwood, New Hampshire — which is loosely based on the one McDonough rents in Northwood. There she finds an unsigned love note addressed to her mother — except not in her father’s handwriting. While researching both her mother’s past and her book about Ruth Blay, Gilmore uncovers 52 Meet Yona Zeldis McDonough Bayswater Books, 12 Main St., Center Harbor: Friday, Aug. 5, at 11 a.m.

Brooklyn writer Yona Zeldis McDonough set her first six adult novels in New York City, but when she got to her seventh, she felt restless. She was tired of New York and wanted something fresh.

So she decided to mix things up. The result, The House on Primrose Pond, was published in February and is set in her “adopted” state, New Hampshire, where she summers regularly with her husband Paul McDonough. He grew up in Portsmouth, and for years she’d heard stories about his childhood, which felt very Norman Rockwell-esque compared to her youth in the city. He went to Whipple Elementary School while she studied at P.S. 179. He skated on ponds and went out in the woods, and she, well, didn’t.

“Small-town life seemed very appealing to me. He moved to New York and wanted a bigger pool, but he loved growing up in New Hampshire,” McDonough said via phone last week.

Between these stories and the time she spent in the Granite State visiting relatives — normally they rent a quaint summer cottage on Jenness Pond in Northwood — she felt she could write about the state authentically, with conviction and passion.

She’ll talk about her new book during this annual visit in August, stopping at nine bookstores for presentations and book signings.

Admittedly, she needed a little help getting her plot going. She had characters in mind but was uncertain how to tie them to the setting.

“I wanted to connect them to New Hampshire, and I wanted to draw the place in. I wondered — was there a flood, a fire, a disease of epidemic proportions I could use and harness in for my own literary purposes?” McDonough said.

She asked Google for the answer, searching for “New Hampshire tragedy.”

Lo and behold, there was. The first thing that popped up was the book Hanging Ruth Blay: An Eighteenth-Century New Hampshire Tragedy by Carolyn Marvin.

Blay, she found out, was the last woman hanged in Portsmouth in 1768 after being convicted of killing and concealing the body of her stillborn, illegitimate child in the barn floor next to the house she stayed in. Historians now say the baby most likely died in childbirth, but the baby’s father was never named. She was granted three reprieves before the execution.

“It seems so monstrous, hanging a

The Summer before the War is the followup to Helen Simonson’s bestseller Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand. In its essence Summer is a story of love in 1914 England, on the brink of World War I. Young Beatrice arrives in the coastal town of Rye to serve as a Latin teacher there, the first woman ever to do so.

Beatrice is young. She is a freethinker and she is more concerned about working for her keep (her father died leaving her penniless) than she is about adhering to ridiculous and outdated blue blood protocol. And yet that is exactly what is expected of her. She gains employment in a tiny town that has never changed and more importantly does not want to change. Not surprisingly Beatrice is met with resistance by the “old guard” while at the same time she is welcomed by the young thinkers.

Enter the cultural equalizer of war and we begin to see families torn apart, a love that stretches across classes, and the old ways being challenged and replaced with a more modern way of thinking.

There’s a love interest (of course) and there’s outrage (along with a certain amount of humor) at having to make change. Summer is fairly predictable except that Simonson manages to tell the story using superb writing skills. She regales us with a story of lives changing while including a huge dash of civility and even empathy for those left behind. It’s not easy to change even though you must — it’s all so poignant. Summer is the perfect story to read when there’s a lovely breeze on your back porch and you have minted iced tea and mini scones by your side.

Filled with historical facts, developed characters and, of course, detailed descriptions of the English countryside, Summer acts as a salve to anyone’s anguish at the ending of Downton Abbey. But don’t think that this book is simply a summer soap-

51 secrets that could “surpass any fiction she could ever put to paper,” according to the back of McDonough’s book.

Much of the book, McDonough said, explores Betsey Pettingill’s point of view — she’s the girl who found the baby’s body that caused the hanging. She lived to 105.

“She went on record talking about her role in this … and named one of her daughters Ruth,” McDonough said.

During her research, McDonough’s sister-in-law brought her to South Cemetery in Portsmouth, where the hanging took place, and to the New Hampshire Historical Society archives in Concord, where

opera romance. Helen Simonson writes with a lyricism that propels the story forward. Just take a look at this passage: “I think I would like to go home now,” said Beatrice faintly, the pleasures and potential pleasures of the conjured afternoon falling away like so many blowing ashes. As she allowed Hugh to lead her away, she gathered up a few thoughts of the lovelier parts of the afternoon and stowed them away in the back of her mind, where they might remind her at some future date that lovely afternoons do not survive the chill of dusk.”

Haunting, elegant and intelligent writing. There are parties, clothing, teas and the grandeur of the elite in early 20-century England. Exactly the kinds of details that some of us just can’t get enough of. Like a long walk in the woods, Summer rambles here and there. It takes its time, but it never cheats us with anything less than storytelling brilliance. A — Wendy E. N. Thomas

she was able to see and hold some of the 250-year-old documents about the case.

In some places you could still see where the seals had been. She was a little taken aback.

“This is so not New York. They just handed them to me. I was able to look at these documents and see the details of the indictment,” she said. “It was very moving to me, and very resonant.”

McDonough is also the author of dozens of children’s books. She feels lucky to be able to write fiction for a living.

“It’s sort of like hearing voices,” she said. “But having someone else participate in that foolishness is very gratifying.”

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Star Trek Beyond (PG-13)

In the middle of a five-year mission, Capt. James T. Kirk isn’t so sure he enjoys the final frontier in Star Trek Beyond, a really solid episode of, like, the most expensive TV show ever.

You know how the BBC’s Sherlock does something like three episodes every two years except this year, when they did one?

This rebooted Star Trek franchise is starting to feel like that. Which I mean in a good way!

Kirk (Chris Pine) is still out there, boldly going, on board the Enterprise with his core crew — Spock (Zachary Quinto), Bones (Karl Urban), Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Scotty (Simon Pegg), Sulu (John Cho) and Chekov (Anton Yelchin, RIP) — and the usual bunch of redshirts. But for Kirk, space has started to feel a little less exciting and an upcoming birthday that makes him one year older than his father when he died has Kirk reevaluating his life. He’s considering leaving the ship for a position at a United Federation of Planets outpost.

Spock is also wrestling with big-picture questions. As one of the few Vulcans (or, in his case, half-Vulcans) left in the universe, Spock wonders if he has some sort of obligation to put more of his efforts toward protecting and preserving his culture.

To that end, he has broken up with Uhura, thinking, as Bones later puts it, perhaps he should choose someone with whom he can make little Vulcans. And he is considering taking up Ambassador Spock’s work on New Vulcan, a mission that becomes more important when he learns of his older, alternate-timeline’s self’s death (the late Leonard Nimoy is seen in a photo).

It is in this state of flux for Kirk and Spock that the Enterprise docks at Yorktown, a newly created Federation outpost. Here the crew disembarks for a bit of R and R

Star Trek Beyond

— and we get to see the think-piece-spawning shots of Sulu greeting his husband and daughter. (Side note: For a franchise that’s never been too interested in the domestic lives of future humans and other Federation citizens, the scenes of Sulu and his family were really nice. They, along with scenes of young crew members hooking up and breaking up, add an element of humanity that Star Trek could use more of.)

The crew doesn’t get much rest, however, before an unknown ship shows up with only one occupant. She tells Starfleet that her ship was attacked and her crew taken near a planet on the other side of a rockfilled nebula. Naturally, the Enterprise is the only ship that is capable of making the trip and attempting a rescue.

Pretty quickly, the rescue goes all wrong and the crew ends up separated on an alien planet where they must work to save each other and, as events unfold, perhaps Federation lives elsewhere from a villain named Krall (Idris Elba, who basically plays him as “Shere Khan ... in spaaaaace”). The

Early in the movie, Kirk complains that he has started to find all this intergalactic peace-making on a ship where one day runs into the next episodic. To which I say, yes, this movie feels very episodic. But, yay! to that. The continuing adventures of the Enterprise crew are what I signed up for and if what you love about the Star Trek universe is space adventure with an occasional thinky bit, Beyond has that.

“We change, we have to. Or we spend the rest of our lives fighting the same battles.”

Kirk says this to Krall and I think it sums up the movie’s thinky bits. As Spock and Kirk consider what direction to take their lives,

Though at nearly two hours and 15 minutes it could be shorter, The Conjuring 2 gives us more of the really nice married couple relationship between Ed and Lorraine Warren and their fight against supernatural whosiwhatsits. B

Central Intelligence (PG-13) Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson.

The chemistry between Hart and Johnson is the key to the, on balance, success of this movie about a CIA agent and the high school buddy Finding Dory (PG) he unwittingly gets to help Voices of Ellen DeGeneres,

they are wrestling with change — changes to what they do, changes to their thinking about why they do it.

On a meta level, the franchise is also undergoing change — the losses of Yelchin (though this happened after the movie was made) and of Nimoy, who is not only a beloved member of the original crew but also a bridge between those movies and this reboot series. And, if you really want to go deep, that statement, especially when you consider the context of when it’s spoken, is actually an interesting bit of commentary on the current political situation, that an old way of thinking doesn’t work in a newer, more complex society.

Or maybe it isn’t a commentary on anything and if you see a movie during a two-week political convention bingefest you just see political commentary everywhere, like the seeming omnipresence of donuts when you’re on a diet.

So you get your storytelling depth, or at least enough of it to give some emotional heft to really cool space battles. And this movie has one really grand, amusingly scored climactic space battle that I’d love to watch again just on its own. It also has a really terrifying, actually rather heartstringtugging space battle and then, in between the two, several action sequences that are just fun.

Star Trek Beyond isn’t the blow-yoursocks-off awesomeness of the first movie in this reboot series but it is extremely skilled at how it uses its characters, crafts a solid story with well-choreographed stretches of action (plus a dash of humor) and uses all of our favorite characters enough so that nobody really feels forgotten. B+ Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action and violence. Directed by Justin Lin with a screenplay by Simon Pegg & Doug Jung, Star Trek Beyond is two hours long and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Ed O’Neill.

Not as deep or as dark as the original, this sequel is nonetheless light, sweet fun with standout vocal work from DeGeneres in the lead.B+ *Ghostbusters (PG-13) Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig.

Also starring Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon, this remake of the 1980s classic is totally fun. Even if it doesn’t quite reach the heights of previous Paul Feig-directed outings such as Bridesmaids or The Heat nonetheless has a joyful

“let’s play Ghostbusters” feel. B+ Independence Day: Resurgence (PG-13) Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum.

But not Will Smith who, as it unsurprisingly turns out, was perhaps the special sauce that make the original movie work as a bit of big, loud popcorn movie fun. This movie revisits the alien-invaded world 20 years later, just as the earth faces a new peril. Too many characters, old and new, crowd the screen in a story that has twice the explosions but not of the energy. D

Apparently, Ice Age is the Game of Thrones of third-tier animated franchises because this thing has a bajillion characters, each with their own backstory. I have no memory of half of these characters anymore, despite having seen all five of these movies. And I have no idea when anything is supposed to be — I believe the first movie featured Manny and the gang finding a human baby. But subsequent movies included a hidden dinosaur world and, as Wikipedia reminded me, the breakup of Pangaea. And, as far as I can remember, no further mention of humans. But now there is Neil deGrasse Tyson.

You’ll recall that the original gang was Manny (voice of Ray Romano), a woolly mammoth; Sid (John Leguizamo), an annoying sloth, and Diego (Denis Leary), a saber-tooth tiger. Manny has since married Ellie (Queen Latifah) and they begat Peaches (Keke Palmer), who is now marrying Julian (Adam Devine). Diego also has a lady friend, Shira (Jennifer Lopez), who wants to have children with him? Or something? Sid now travels with his grandmother, Granny (Wanda Sykes), and is still desperately looking for love. Also, there are Ellie’s adopted brothers Crash (Seann William Scott) and Eddie (Josh Peck), and halfway through the movie Buck (Simon Pegg), an adventuresome weasel (I had to look up his species, my guess was “rodent thing”) who was apparently in some of the other movies, shows up. Neil deGrasse Tyson plays a sciencey weasel who lives in his head.

The cautious Manny is worried generally about Peaches getting married and specifically about her and Julian having a post-wedding gap year where they wander around, doing whatever the heck it is mammoths do. There is a lot of discussion that boils down to Manny letting go (an endless theme for this series) and to Manny learning to like and respect Julian.

Yes, I do believe what most kids want is more in-law-related relationship drama.

Meanwhile, Scrat, the squirrel who Wile E. Coyotes his way through these movies, ever chasing a nut, has managed to find and board a spaceship hidden deep in the ice.

Eventually, he ends up creating an asteroid that, like the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, threatens to end the reign of the mammals. Buck, the crazy weasel, somehow knows about the asteroid and what it could do, and comes up with a plan to attempt to save the Earth. Also, some flying dinosaurs, one of whom is voiced by Nick Offerman, are following him.

A young adult mammoth is having pre-wedding stress and all life on Earth is imperiled by an approaching asteroid in Ice Age: Collision Course, a tiresome fifth entry in this series.

There are too many characters doing too much talking in this movie. And not just talking about the central mission — save the world — but talking about Peaches’ wedding and Manny’s relationship with Julian. Everything about this plotline made me want to fall asleep — me who has inlaws and has planned a wedding. How does this possibly hold the attention of a kid?

Or, more importantly, how many times will you have to take that kid to the bathroom and/or explain that no, we can not fast forward through this part, because these scenes are boring?

Were I to edit this movie down to a more tolerable hour and a bit, I would slice out all of this nonsense — maybe slice out Peaches and Julian and even Queen Latifah altogether. Send them on a shopping trip to a mammoth outlet mall to buy giant bed linens and heavily discounted tusk warmers for the duration of the movie. I’d also get rid of the opossums, Diego, the Jennifer Lopez tiger and at least one of the sloths — personally I’d prefer my comic relief to come from Wanda Sykes over John Leguizamo but whatever, one or the other.

I’d get rid of any mention of the dinosaurs, because it’s stupid, and most of the characters that populate some Cocoon-like oasis of animals kept young by some special crystals. A tight little adventure featuring the insane Buck, the perpetually irritated Manny and a comic relief sloth to be named later — this seems like a manageable story. (And I’d probably tell Romano to dial down the “angry Eeyore” shtick a good couple of notches.) With every additional element this movie adds, it gets more and more weighed down. The stuff that might land with adults is not smart or different or unique enough to justify slicing into the entertainment of kids, the only reason anybody not being paid to see this as a critic would go to this movie.

I feel like Scrat and his wacky nut antics were the most lively scenes and seemed to land well with the crowd at the theater where I saw this movie. Scrat and his basically non-verbal acorn adventures are pretty universally get-able — but they have moments of visual cleverness. Perhaps because everybody feels they’ve got to Pixar everything, there actually aren’t that many movies that trade in the pure Looney Tunes-like chase-and-pratfall method of comedy and storytelling. An Ice Age that leaned into this might be more fun — more fun for the kids and more fun for the parents dragged to watch a bunch of dreary conversations about parents learning to let go. CRated PG for mild rude humor and some action/peril. Directed by Mike Thurmeier and Galen T. Chu with a screenplay by Michael J. Wilson and Michael Berg and Yoni Brenner and a story by Aubrey Solomon, Ice Age: Collision Course is an hour and 34 minutes long and distributed by 20th Century Fox.

• Angelic Few performers defined ’90s folk rock like Sarah McLachlan. The Canadian songwriter launched the all-female Lilith Fair and penned the iconic “Angel,” just one of several hits. Her crystalline voice hasn’t lost any power, and in recent shows she’s mixed a cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” and songs from her 2014 release Shine On with her deep catalog. Go Thursday, July 28, at 7 p.m. at Music Hall, 20 Chestnut St., Portsmouth. Tickets $80.50 and up at themusichall.org.

• Potent: Perched on a stool playing guitar and coaxing rhythm from a stomp-box at her feet, Danielle Miraglia packs a lot into a one-woman show. The Bostonian’s songwriting prowess shines on her recent album Glory Junkies, a well-rounded collection that skewers a culture where art is diminished and too many people are, in the words of one track, “Famous for Nothin’.” Go Friday, July 29, at 7 p.m. at New England College, 52 N. Main St., Concord. See daniellem.com.

• Countrified: Performers like Lance Carpenter are coming to the region via New England to Nashville, a talent initiative that began as a Facebook page that also sends Northeastern country music aspirants south for gigs and woodshedding. Arkansas-born Carpenter recently co-wrote the No. 1 hit “Love Me Like You Mean It” for Kelsea Ballerini. Go Saturday, July 30, at 9 p.m., at Stumble Inn, 20 Rockingham Road, Londonderry. See lancecarpentermusic.com.

• Beatlesque: There aren’t any Beatles tribute shows like the one from Ukestra, an adult all-ukulele ensemble led by guitarist and music teacher Mike Loce that began in 2011 as an informal jam session at the now shuttered Studio 99 in Nashua. It grew into a full-blown collective of enthusiasts of the diminutive four-string instrument. Go Sunday, July 31, at 3 p.m. at Nashua Community Music School, 5 Pine Street Extension, Nashua. Sliding scale pay-what-you-can tickets: $5-25.

• Angelinos: The title track of the latest Best Coast album California Nights sounds like Brian Wilson and Neko Case hooking up while Dark Side of the Moon plays.

The Los Angeles band exudes both the sunny and the seamy sides of their home town with an infectious pop sound that’s informed by everything from The Beatles to The Bangles; they perform with Stargazer Lilies. Go Monday, Aug. 1, at 9 p.m. at 3S Artspace, 319 Vaughan St., Portsmouth. Tickets are $25 at eventbrite.com.

Comedian Izzard comes to Concord

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

The late James Brown may be remembered as the hardest-working man in show business, but Eddie Izzard is a living and breathing embodiment of the title. For the past threeplus years, the comic has toured constantly with his Force Majeure one-man show. He’s performed it in 28 countries — so far.

The title of his tour is aptly chosen; it translates to “Superior Force.” This year, he played a five-week run in London’s West End, and later campaigned against the Brexit initiative in his home country. Openly transgender since the 1980s, he donned a dress and heels and visited 31 cities. Back in 2009, he ran 43 marathons in 51 days, with a bare amount of training and no prior running experience.

In a recent phone interview; Izzard claimed his globetrotting could last indefinitely.

“After a while you don’t know if there are any rules for how long a tour can be,” he said.

“I’m going to do it in China eventually.”

Izzard is a world comic, well beyond his many passport stamps. Born in Yemen and raised in the U.K., he claims to think like an American and has done his entire act in German, Spanish and French. The latter performance happened in Paris, a memorable stop on the tour.

“The Olympia Theatre, where Jacques Brel, Edit Piaf and David Bowie all played, and it was sold out; that was a good thing.”

He claimed that the only experiences topping the moment for him were performing in Moscow and selling out the Hollywood Bowl — he’s the only comic to do that.

Izzard stops in Concord on Sunday, July 31, part of an East Coast jaunt stopping in Eddie Izzard – Force Majeure Tour When: Sunday, July 31, 8 p.m.

Where: Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 South Main Street, Concord Tickets: $48 & $58 at ccanh.com

seven states.

“I’m hoping to play all 50 states, which I’m told will be the first time a comedian has done that with one show,” Izzard said.

Actually, Henry Rollins did that during the 2012 election, also playing the Capitol Center, but technically he’s not a comic.

“I am very happy to be following in Henry’s footsteps,” Izzard said. “I know him, and he’s great; so well done to Henry.”

What does working in front of so many diverse audiences reveal to him about the world’s condition?

“What I’ll be playing in New Hampshire is the same stuff that the kids laughed at in

Moscow, Nuremberg, Istanbul, France and Berlin,” he said. “It’s beautiful the way they respond. ... They’re not heading backward, but toward the 21st century.”

His rapid-fire show challenges conventional wisdom, dissects religion — Izzard is an agnostic turned atheist — and drops plenty of logic bombs. Audiences can get breathless trying to keep up, but he steadfastly avoids politics in his act. That’s something of a feat for a man who plans to run for Parliament in 2020.

“Well, my material isn’t topical. I’m never like ‘Oh, Trump’s here,’ because if you watched it five years from now you’d go, what’s that about,” he said. “But I do change and move it around. I’m constantly distilling it and refining it down to a better material.”

In public life, however, he’s vocal about his causes. He came out as transgender at a time when most people had no idea what the term meant. Izzard views his recent unsuccessful campaign merely as an opening salvo; while the Brexit vote is disappointing, he’s not deterred.

“There are a lot of young people who want their future, so we carry on fighting,” he said. “I came out 31 years ago and it hasn’t been an easy fight for me [but] I will fight to my last dying breath for humanity.

Live and let live and head towards a world where everyone has a fair chance. That’s how it works.”

If that sounds like a speech that’s because it’s an articulation of something that will ultimately launch him, Al Franken style, into politics.

“I believe it and it’s true,” Izzard said. “I met a guy with a degree who was selling things from a cart, and he said, ‘I have no hope’ and I said, ‘You’ve got to.’ People that think about these things know it but others don’t want to and they vote with their gut if someone says we’re going to make this place great again. Trump said we’re going make Britain great again right after the vote — what? No, we need to make the world great again. The only way it’s going to survive is if everyone has a fair chance. Extremists want people to be in despair.”

ble that draws inspiration from world music, jazz, and rock, while artfully navigating total group improvisation.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) Maybe you inherited your grandmother’s silver service and don’t know a butter knife from a cheese spreader. It is perfectly fine to spread cheese with a butter knife.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Make notes the next day about your party. What went well and what might need tweaking for next time? What food was a hit? What decor got positive comments? A scientific approach is the way to go.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) Take it out of storage and use it — every day, even. Mix it up, too. Matchy-matchy gets boring. A place setting is like a party outfit, so create a table that reflects your style as well as the party. Mix it up!

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) If I weren’t a performer, I think I would love to be a party planner. Every aspect of planning a gathering — coming up with the party theme, designing a unique invitation, creating a menu, and setting the scene — speaks to my creative side. A new outlet for your creative side is just around the corner.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) One time I had my band and crew over for a holiday party and I made a big pot of jambalaya. I thought I’d made plenty to eat.

But, apparently, everyone was really hungry, and I ran out of food! I could have been mortified and let stress ruin the party, but luckily I had a few frozen pizzas in my freezer. I popped those in and just went with it.

The party didn’t miss a beat. Just go with it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) For me, a party is a gift for my friends and family.

My goal is to make each person feel special from the moment they receive the invitation until they walk out my door. It’s your turn to make someone feel special.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) I don’t believe there is such a thing as “effortless” entertaining. There isn’t.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) I say this a lot: planning is key! It is the secret to a relaxed host — and a relaxed host means relaxed guests. Certain people are never going to relax no matter what you do, so don’t worry about them.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) If you’ve never played host, start simple with a party like Family Pizza Night … or Fall Supper with Friends …. As you gain experience, you can throw more elaborate parties with confidence. Your family pizza night may be anything but simple.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Once when I hosted a Mexican dinner, I wrote the party details in gold paint on poblanos and red bell peppers, put them in a small box, and hand-delivered them to my guests. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, but a personal touch would be good.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Successful gatherings don’t have to be elaborate or expensive. Your generosity and the thought and effort you put into the details are key to making guests feel welcome and appreciated. If they leave feeling that way, then you’ve succeeded. And if a farm girl from Kansas can do it, anyone can! Make people feel welcome and the rest will fall into place.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) I love lists. I make lists so I can cross stuff off as I do it.

It’s so satisfying. And I go old-school with pen and paper. I find if I write something down I actually remember it better. A little writing could be useful.

The power of prayer

A 28-year-old woman, unnamed in news reports, veered off the road and into a house in the Florida panhandle town of Mary Esther on July 7. She apparently was free of drug or alcohol influence, but readily explained to police that she must have gone through a stop sign and left the road when she closed her eyes to pray as she drove. (The house was damaged, but no one was injured.)

Weird numbers

• The Transportation Security Administration announced in May that it had collected $765,000 in loose change left behind in airport scanner trays during 2015, an average “haul” for the agency of $2,100 a day (numbers assuming, of course, that TSA personnel turn in all of the money they find). Los Angeles and Miami airports contributed $106,000 of the total.

• Scientists at the University of Cambridge, writing in May in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, claimed to have figured out how to construct a “motor” a “million times” smaller than an ant. (It apparently involves lasers, gold particles and “van der Waals forces,” and the object is to bind the gold particles and then cause them to automatically “snap” apart with, according to author Jeremy Baumberg, “10 to a hundred times more force per unit than any known other machine.”)

• CEO Michael Pearson told a Senate committee in April that he regrets the business model he instituted in 2015 for Valeant Pharmaceuticals, the one that, for example, allowed a drug (Cuprimine) that treats liver failure and formerly cost a typical user out-of-pocket about $3 a pill (120 per month, $366) to, overnight, cost the user $15 a pill. (The insurance company’s and Medicare’s cost went overnight from about $5,000 per 100 tablets to $26,000.)

(A Deutsche Bank analysis of the industry tallied Valeant’s all-drug average price spike at more than five times the average of any competitor’s.) Pearson told the senators he had no idea that such a pricing strategy would turn out to be so controversial.

• Mark Herron, 49, of Sunderland, England, was arrested again in May his 448th arrest on alcohol-related charges. The year started “well” for Herron, with only 14 collars through March, and he cleaned up briefly before a “family bereavement” sent him spiraling downward again. His current lawyer admitted that his client has been in court more often than he himself has.

• Austrian Hans Heiland vowed in June to assist a needy family in Oberholz by donating to a charity fundraiser sponsored

by the local fire department. He has been collecting bottle tops through the years and figures he could sell his “treasure” now, as scrap metal, to help the family.

He has at least 10 million caps, weighing “several tons.”

• In May, the federal government finally shut down a long-running international scam that had sold psychic assurances (prosperity! winning lottery numbers!) to more than a million Americans. In personalized form letters, two French psychics had guaranteed success and riches to clients if they would only buy their $50 books (and massive upselling usually followed). The Justice Department estimated that during the spree, the sellers earned upward of $180 million on at least 56 million pieces of postal mail.

• In a June verdict still reverberating through the telemarketing industry, a jury in Utah found that three companies run by Forrest Baker III had illegally made 99 million phone calls to consumers on the Do Not Call Registry and an additional 18 million calls telling people they were merely doing surveys when the purpose was hawking their family-friendly movies.

Both charges are violations of the Federal Trade Commission’s Telemarketing Sales Rule. Although the total fine and damages have not been decided, the law provides that the most serious offenders could be assessed $16,000 per phone call (for a maximum of almost $1.9 trillion).

• A recent study by a Harvard University data scientist estimated that the government of China funds the creation of at least 488 million bogus social-media posts a year.

The report refers to a rumored government-

sponsored arrangement that pays people the equivalent of 8 U.S. cents per post of “news” for the purpose of distracting social-media users and channeling them to subjects preferred by the government (such as successes of the Communist Party).

• The family of a Virginia Tech student missing since 1998 was notified in March that the man’s remains and ID had been found in a wooded ravine 700 feet below the New River Gorge bridge near Beckley, West Virginia in an area the man’s vehicle tracker had long identified for potential searching. A West Virginia State Police sergeant told reporters that in the years since the student disappeared, the remains of 48 other bodies had been found underneath the bridge.

A News of the Weird classic (August 2012)

New Mexico is an “open carry” state, with otherwise-law-abiding adults authorized to display loaded handguns in public.

However, in the town of Vaughn (pop. 500, about 90 miles east of Albuquerque), perhaps the only people not legally able to carry are the town’s two police officers. A June (2012) KOB-TV report revealed that Chief Ernest Armijo had been convicted in 2011 of criminal non-support of a wife and two sons, and was barred from possessing a gun. Deputy Brian Bernal has his own domestic issue: a conviction for family violence that bans him, under federal law, from carrying. (A month after the News of the Weird story, both men resigned, leaving the town’s police dog the only active “officer.”)
