I’ve been to too many funerals lately. Many have been for women and men who have played a major role in the life of New Hampshire. Regardless of their profession or business, these have been civic leaders whose commitment, creativity and generosity have helped build the institutions that make the Granite State such a special place. Attending a funeral or memorial service is a gesture honoring the memory and legacy of the departed as well as one expressing solidarity with his or her family and friends. But it is also a time of personal reflection on one’s own mortality and the life one is leading currently. Listening to the words of a eulogy, one hears adjectives and nouns that challenge a person to aspire to higher goals. Personally, I cannot but wonder, sitting there, what might likely be said at my own funeral someday. New Hampshire is fortunate to have and to have had true “giants” of civic life, individuals who also served as role models for the next generation. We lament their passing. However, I recently attended another important event: the 2016 Rising Stars Awards. These awards began several years ago as an initiative of Stay Work Play to recognize young talent and commitment in our state. The first gathering was held in the foyer of the Red River Theatres. Now, several years later, the event nearly filled the Bow Fieldhouse Sports with young professionals from around the state. Co-sponsored with New Hampshire Public Radio, Rising Stars celebrates the achievements of entrepreneurs, innovators and exemplary civic volunteers and encourages further such activities and enterprises. Again, standing there at the ceremony, listening to a recitation of the impressive accomplishments of these young professionals, one cannot help but be confident that the future of New Hampshire is in good hands. Selected by a set of judges of their peers, these young professionals include university students who volunteer countless hours in service of their local community, employers who bring their technological inventions to New Hampshire and then build companies that exhibit the best in employee recognition and benefits, and creative individuals who work to address a range of social needs. But what is common to them all, and a sentiment voiced by each of them, is their commitment to New Hampshire and its quality of life. Muhammad Ali said it well: “The service you do for others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” These Rising Stars are New Hampshire’s next generation of giants. We should all be supporting them.

NEWS & NOTES GOP: Spend faster
Republican lawmakers are levying an unusual critique against Gov. Maggie Hassan, a Democrat — she’s not spending fast enough, specifically to bolster mental health services and aid in the fight against drug addiction and drug dealers. Recently, Sen. Majority Leader Jeb Bradley released a statement accusing Hassan of under spending the New Hampshire Hospital budget by $4.1 million, which is 16 percent of its fiscal year 2016 budget. He goes on to argue that this may have been the cause of the yearlong delay in opening the new 10-bed crisis unit. In a separate release from the Senate Republican Caucus, Senate Finance Chair Jeanie Forrester called out the Governor’s Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse for not spending $2 million of its $3 million in appropriations meant to help curb the opioid crisis. And when Granite Hammer grants were starting to roll out in late September, Bradley and House Majority Leader Richard Hinch criticized Hassan for taking three months to make the money available after the Granite Hammer bill became law, saying it showed a lack of urgency. Granite Hammer grants will be awarded to police departments to aid in the crackdown on drug dealers. Manchester will receive more than $395,000, Nashua is slated to get nearly $250,000 and Concord will get nearly $75,000.
Testing less
A program designed to cut the amount of standardized testing for K-12 students will be extended for another year. The AP reported the PACE program, whose name stands for Performance Assessment for Competency Education, received a green light to continue for one year from the U.S. Department of Education. Correction In the Oct. 6 cover story, “NH is the Center of the Contra Dancing Universe,” p. 14’s description of contra dance calls should have said “balance and swing,” not “bounce and swing.”
In the nine school districts that are participating, the program replaces four of the seven standardized tests required by the No Child Left Behind Act with local projects that demonstrate competency in a subject. The NCLB requires annual standardized tests from grades 3 through 8 and one more in high school.
Ayotte drops Trump
U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte came under fire for saying in a recent debate against Gov. Maggie Hassan that she thinks Donald Trump is a good role model for her kids and then took it back hours later. Now, in an Oct. 8 press release, she said she will not vote for him. This follows months of the junior senator offering her support of the Republican presidential nominee sans endorsement. Ayotte was part of a wave of Republican leaders who abandoned Trump in recent days, following the release of a 2005 recording of Trump graphically describing how he likes to grope and kiss women and that they let him because of his stardom. “I cannot and will not support a candidate for president who brags about degrading and assaulting women,” Ayotte said in the statement. Ayotte said she would be writing in Mike Pence, the party’s vice presidential nominee, on her ballot.
Sanders returns
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders returned to the Granite State on Oct. 7 to stump for Hillary Clinton at Nashua Community College and Keene State College. The Eagle Tribune reported Sanders spoke to a crowd of more than 400 people in Nashua, telling them it’s critical they vote in the election on Nov. 8 and make sure Clinton wins. He acknowledged that many might not want to vote for either major party candidate but said Clinton had a progressive platform and has a superior agenda to Donald Trump’s.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock
Earlier last month, officials at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center announced they would be laying off between 270 and 460 employees to close a budget shortfall, but they’re now saying
HIPPO | OCTOBER 13 - 19, 2016 | PAGE 4
the cuts will be far smaller. The Union Leader reported DHMC President Jim Weinstein said the finances are back on track. Dartmouth had a $12 million deficit in its last fiscal year. The exact number of layoffs is due to be announced in the week of Oct. 17, but Weinstein said the majority of reductions would come from “attrition, restructuring and elimination of open positions.” Meanwhile, Dartmouth has lost another executive. Dr. John Birkmeyer, chief academic officer and executive vice president, resigned with one week’s notice. His last day will be Oct. 14. Birkmeyer oversaw the transfer of psychiatric staff from Dartmouth College to Dartmouth-Hitchcock, a process that caused a labor rift resulting in the departure of 11 psychiatrists and nurses from the state mental hospital, which was staffed by Dartmouth College and is now staffed by DHMC with a new contract approved by the governor and Executive Council.
State police
The Executive Council unanimously confirmed Capt. Christopher Wagner to become the new director and colonel of the New Hampshire State Police. The Union Leader reported Wagner has more than 20 years of experience in the State Police and previously served as troop commander and field area commander. The swearing-in ceremony was scheduled for Oct. 10. Wagner replaces Col. Robert Quinn, who was recently confirmed as the new assistant commissioner of public safety.

High-tech manufacturer BAE Systems in Nashua was recently awarded a $13.5 million contract to create a new heat-sensing sight technology for American soldiers. The Union Leader reported the thermal weapon sights are going to work in any light or weather conditions and help with conducting surveillance and acquiring targets more than 1,000 meters away. The initial order is for more than 100 weapon sights systems that will go to the U.S. Army. The technology will also be used to seamlessly connect with existing night vision goggle technology used by the Army. BAE is in a period of growth, adding facilities to four parcels of land near its existing location and hiring up to 300 new people over the coming years.

Ostern’s concern. It’s not the first time Willard has weighed in on political matters. Earlier this year, he reacted to comments made by the now Republican gubernatorial nominee Chris Sununu, who claimed there had been no leadership on the drug crisis at the state or local level. Willard called those comments “idiotic” on Twitter.
LAWNS AND GARDENS
In response to the ongoing extreme drought conditions affecting southern New Hampshire, several communities have instituted outdoor water bans. The Union Leader reported Pelham, Londonderry and Windham were the latest to join the growing list of towns banning lawn watering. According to a list released by the Department of Environmental Services, known water use restrictions or bans are in place by 160 community water systems, and 13 towns have imposed mandatory or voluntary outdoor water use bans. Mandatory bans are in place in parts of Derry, Bow, Amherst and Nashua. Manchester and Concord have voluntary outdoor use bans.

In the weeks leading up to the general election, the Hippo is speaking with the major party nominees for the state’s gubernatorial and congressional races about the issues — and how they take their coffee. The interviews here have been edited and condensed, but you can find longer versions of each week’s interview transcripts at hippopress.com.
Chris Sununu Republican gubernatorial nominee Chris Sununu is the CEO of Waterville Valley ski resort and was elected to the Executive Council in 2010. His father, John H. Sununu, was governor of New Hampshire in the 1980s before serving as President George H.W. Bush’s chief of staff, and his brother, John E. Sununu, represented New Hampshire in the U.S. House and Senate. Growing up in your family, did it often feel like you were destined for politics? Oh no … not at all. I mean, remember, … I’m number seven of eight kids — my father was governor way back in the ’80s, my brother was in the Congress and the Senate, of course, and I’m incredibly proud of the public service they gave to the state and to the constituents. I think they did a great job. But
Colin Van Ostern Democratic gubernatorial nominee Colin Van Ostern was elected to the Executive Council in 2012. He helped create College for America, a competency-based online college started by Southern New Hampshire University, and served as its chief marketing officer. He has a master of business administration from Dartmouth College. Can you tell us something about your past that was instrumental in making you who you are today? I was raised by a single mom. When I moved to New Hampshire for a job in my early 20s, it was the 18th home I ever moved into. And I met my wife here and now we have two sons. It’s an incredibly important part of our lives, to make sure they grow up in a great place. How did that experience affect you? I fought hard to make sure we expand access to health care without raising state taxes. I know personally what it’s like to grow up without always having health insurance. HIPPO | OCTOBER 13 - 19, 2016 | PAGE 6
with some of the things that I think have eroded. … We have to let teachers do what they do best. ... Let them have the time and freedom and flexibility to provide individualized education for our kids.
One of the ... issues we have in the state is health care costs. Everyone will always tout how we have one of the healthiest states. That’s great but when you have one of the highest health care costs in the country that affect everybody across the board, that affects all of our costs. So we’ve created a system that drives everybody into a public system, which, by the way, Obamacare is drastically more expensive than anyone thought it was going to be. It has failed in that promise to the people, especially a lot of the lower income folks. And we have decreased the amount of competition in our private health care market, which, again, increases the price. So we have to do things and put parts of our programs in place to decrease those costs and give folks financial flexibility. [We also need] an adequate, longterm energy plan in the state. We have the highest energy costs, and, again, that affects everyone. … Whether it’s through weatherization programs, fuel assistance or simply just creating a system that drops our energy bills across the state, that’s how you can best help those on the lower income rungs.

Anyone who’s 7 who’s dealt with Common Core, who’s dealt I’ve fought to ensure that we support funding for birth control and cancer screenings and annual exams at our state Planned Parenthood health centers. That’s not an abstract issue when you grow up in a family where health care isn’t always a given. … Part of what I’ve done professionally is help launch a college at Southern New Hampshire University where most students get a degree without debt. That is, in part, informed by the memory I have of walking into the billing office my senior year of college and putting $30,000 in tuition on a credit card because I had run out of student loans. So I think the policies that I fight for as an elected official and as a candidate are a reflection of some of the realities that I’ve lived through myself. Southern New Hampshire University is often referred to as an industry disruptor, and they’ve been at odds at times with traditional state colleges like the University of New Hampshire. How would you assure leaders in our public university system that you would be an advocate for them? Well, I’ve been an advocate for them as an executive councilor already. I’ve hosted the governor and executive councilors at Durham, at UNH, to talk about the importance of our higher education programs, at the time, to celebrate freezing tuition for the first time in 25 years — which happened a couple years
ago. I know, from my own experience, that there’s no one solution for higher education. What an 18-year-old living in a dorm earning a bachelor degree needs as a full-time student is different from what a 40-year-old who is working full time and has two kids and is trying to finish up an associate’s degree needs. And that’s different than what a graduate student who’s doing industry-leading research and building innovations that might be commercialized and create a lot of economic opportunity needs. And we need a higher education system that meets all of those models in New Hampshire, but one that does it in a way that anyone who graduates from high school can learn a trade or earn an associate’s degree or earn a four-year degree without being crushed by debt. And having helped build a program where thousands of students are getting a degree, most without taking on any student debt, gives me the perspective of knowing how innovation needs to be part of strengthening higher education.
... Right now, the state has expanded some capacities. For example, we recently opened up a 10-bed psychiatric unit at the state hospital, but even that was delayed because we struggled to hire folks to staff it. So, when I talk about strengthening our workforce, one of the reasons it’s important is in fields where we have an inadequate workforce in New Hampshire, which includes mental health and behavioral health. But there are also some policies as a state that we need to pursue that are a stark difference between my opponent Chris Sununu and I. For example, I fought hard to help implement the New Hampshire Health Protection Plan. Fifty thousand people in New Hampshire now have health care coverage as a result. We did it without raising state taxes. That specifically includes behavioral health and substance use disorder coverage. So there are thousands of people that have gotten coverage for behavioral health and substance use disorder. Chris fought hard against that, repeatedly. He has said in this campaign that he wants to end it. Our mental health infrastructure is strug- ...

6 trying to claim that I waffle is doing their hardest to make a political statement. I voted for Planned Parenthood in 2011, in… 2013, 2014, 2016. The only time I backed off was when the investigations were going on, and I asked the governor, let’s clear up the investigation so we can move forward. She refused. So, I said, ‘OK well, let’s wait and see how these other state investigations pan out.’ And that’s not about Planned Parenthood. Any company that has that type of legal scrutiny upon them, we should be taking pause.
You were quoted in 2010 saying you decided against finding out-of-state investors for Waterville Valley, but recent reports have found a Virginia company owns a 14 percent stake. Were you being truthful when you said the company had local control? Look, all of the investors, I have 14 or, no, 11 investors. … They all have a connection to Waterville Valley. I mean, eight of my 11 investors have second homes in the valley. They’re all season pass holders in the valley. They all have a connection to Waterville. When we talk about out-of-state investments, we’re talking about going to hedge funds and knocking on unsolicited doors in New York City or something like that. That’s not what we did. These are all friends or family or people with connections to Waterville. It ... was previously run by a company out of California.

6 startups in New Hampshire is central to my campaign. There are a lot of policy areas where we can make progress in doing that; bringing college costs down, strengthening our workforce, bringing passenger rail from Boston to Nashua and Manchester to help growing businesses grow quicker, expanding access to full-day public kindergarten — which, right now, only half the towns in the state have it. ... I think in order to do those things we need to appreciate what are New Hampshire’s competitive advantages. ... We have a high-skilled, well-educated workforce, great quality of life and low taxes and we need to protect and promote those three things and that’ll ensure that my kids and all our kids can have the tools they need to compete in the world but also have every reason to stay right here in New Hampshire.
We’re faced with some high cost of living issues, especially driven by high rent and child care costs. How would you make sure working families are able to pay their bills? One of the advantages of something like how we successfully expanded Medicaid here in New Hampshire is that it allows tens of thousands of families to have the security of health care coverage that puts them in a position to work. I support raising New Hampshire’s minimum wage. ... You can work full time in New Hampshire with a couple of
terms of, all the management is local, the bank is local, our investors are local. For those who see you and Colin Van Ostern as being similar candidates in that you are both executive councilors, what edge do you have over your opponent? We are drastically different candidates. I am running for governor because I believe in doing things the New Hampshire way. … Colin Van Ostern wants Washington to run our health care system, he wants Washington to control our schools, he wants Washington to dictate our transportation and infrastructure. I want to do things the New Hampshire way. I grew up here, my kids go to school here, my business is here. I’m an engineer, I’m a problem solver. I talk about things like lowering business taxes and regulation, getting our health care costs under control, doing it the New Hampshire way. ... Colin Van Ostern has been an absolute rubber stamp for Maggie Hassan and big Washington programs. ... I just believe doing it the New Hampshire way. I believe the solutions we need in our community need to be New Hampshire solutions, not big Washington bureaucracy that frankly never has New Hampshire’s interests at heart. How do you order your coffee at the drive-thru? Three milk, three sugar. … Large hot three and three, or large ice three and three, depending on the time of day. — Ryan Lessard
kids and still live either below poverty or have some level of public assistance that you’re depending on. That shouldn’t be the case. You and your opponent are both executive councilors. What edge do you have over Sununu in this election? New Hampshire’s ready to take the next step forward and that has been the side that I’ve been fighting on for years when Chris has been playing political games that hold us back. I’ve fought over and over again for solar energy products all across New Hampshire. In the four years that Chris Sununu and I have sat on the Executive Council, every solar energy project that’s come in front of us he’s voted against. ... I’m the only one running who’s been 100 percent in support of Planned Parenthood funding and women’s health ... the one who’s running to raise our minimum wage and bring college costs down and do it while we have no sales tax or income tax by finding efficiencies in our state government and cutting through red tape. How do you order your coffee at the drive-thru? Usually with two chocolate Munchkins because I have a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old. ... Lately I’ve been drinking coffee in every single possible form I can get it. — Ryan Lessard

Grappone said stigmas can prevent people with mental illness from seeking help, and more broadly, they can limit work and social opportunities. “When it becomes a problem is when it leads to prejudice, which leads to a negative action, which is discrimination,” Grappone said. And that, said MHCGM President Bill Rider, comes with real consequences — possibly even death, if mental illness suffers are afraid to get the help they need. “Mental illness has a mortality rate to it,” Rider said. Studies have shown that people with mental illnesses have a life expectancy 20 to 25 years shorter than those without, and mostly from preventable conditions.
Derek Quintey suffers from depression. A middle-aged man from Londonderry, he was losing a lot of work because of it and didn’t tell his bosses what was going on for fear of how they’d react. But when he decided to seek treatment in June, it was actually his employer who helped him, through an employee assistance program that helped him confidentially navigate the resources available. Health care workers recommended partial hospitalization and connected him with a support group in Nashua. To get to that point, Quintey had to overcome the stigma that surrounds mental health. “Mental health is not treated the same as if my leg was broken. There’s still a big stigma Education out there,” Quintey said. One way to tackle this issue is by targeting misconceptions and stereotypes. The CamA social disorder paign to Change Direction, which kicked off In fact, Quintey faced several stigmas: in New Hampshire in May, is one such inipublic stigma — how people at work or in tiative. The campaign outlines five signs of social circles might view mental illness; mental illness in oneself and others: feeling self-stigma — how Quintey viewed his own withdrawn, personality changes, agitation, condition; and structural stigma — how the poor self-care and feelings of hopelessness. view of health care providers, policy makers For even severe psychoses, Rider said, casand insurers affected his access to care. es often start out during late adolescence, and Gretchen Grappone, a New Hampshire there are usually plenty of red flags like “sort native, is a training consultant specializing of unreal thinking, maybe some disjointed in mental health stigma with Atlas Research thinking, magical thinking,” Rider said. “And based in Washington, D.C. With grant fund- what, I think, individuals do themselves and ing from the Endowment for Health, she what people around them do is they minimize trains frontline health care workers and health it. … They say, ‘Geez, it’s just a phase that center staff on the nature of mental health they’re going through, they’ve been hangstigma and ways to overcome it. ing out with these weird guys lately’ … and Part of that training, which she recently they pass it off.

Catching mental illness early, and mayIn addition to public, self and structural be having those awkward conversations, can stigma, there’s also perceived stigma (a belief go a long way toward treating the issues and in stigma held by others), label avoidance making sure they don’t get worse, Rider said. (avoiding treatment for fear of being labeled Still, family members, friends or colmentally ill), stigma by association (when leagues may not know how to treat people stigma is extended to people connected to with a mental illness. Grappone said that in someone with a mental illness) and health her trainings, most people don’t believe they professional stigma — because although it are discriminating against anyone. But much seems counterintuitive, research has shown of the discrimination happens unconsciously. Potential employers might see a veteran that health care providers may share these with PTSD and believe that makes the perattitudes with the general public. Ken Norton, the executive director of the son violent and unpredictable, for example. National Alliance on Mental Illness in New Hospital staff might see a person with depresHampshire, said the day before his organiza- sion and think they’re lazy. Family might tion’s annual NAMIWalks fundraiser earlier believe a loved one with depression is lacking this month there were 32 adults and one child in strength or enough faith in a higher power. None of that helps the issue of self-stigin emergency rooms across the state waiting ma, which can be affected by an individual’s for mental health treatment beds. “We would never treat any other medical upbringing, culture or military training. “There’s a lot of research that shows that illness that way, and we need to do better,” self-stigma is really key,” Norton said. “When Norton said.
we look at veterans, for instance, the numbers of them that report having some type of psychological injury as compared to the almost half who never seek treatment, that really speaks to the self-stigma. And that’s true of the general population as well.” Grappone said about 30 to 40 percent of people nationwide report self-stigma. And with veterans and active-duty personnel, she said the issue seems to be wrapped up in notions of strength and weakness.
Exposure therapy
Research shows education programs tend to work well only among adolescents, Grappone said. For the rest of the population, the thing that seems to work best at reducing public stigma is for more and more people to “come out” about their mental illness. Grappone herself suffers from depression and said it was freeing when she first talked about it in a newspaper interview. This makes sense, she said, if you look at stigma as an anxiety disorder. “We know the effective intervention for anxiety is to not avoid what you’re fearing or what you’re anxious about. We call it exposure therapy,” Grappone said. “So I see self-disclosure as exposure therapy.” Norton also has a mental illness. He said he has suffered thoughts of suicide his entire adult life. “I think the way out of that is realizing that you’re not alone and maybe talking to other people that are in recovery who talk openly about mental illness,” Norton said. “When we hear somebody talk about having a mental illness and being in recovery or having an addiction and being in recovery, that’s where it can really make a difference.” Grappone said she would like to see more people with mental health issues come out from the shadows. Only that, she said, will make a dent in normalizing mental illness. Earlier this month, Quintey and his wife and friends walked in the NAMIWalks 5K walk through downtown Concord. He was one of more than 700 people who participated. When it first started 14 years ago, only about a tenth as many people took part in the walk. Still, there’s a lot more work to do. “So much money, millions and millions of dollars have been spent on these education campaigns,” Grappone said. “And that’s great and they’re well-intentioned, but ... research shows that over the last 10 years, there’s been absolutely no reduction in public stigma.” She said recruiting mental health ambassadors from health care professions would be a good start. And Norton said that shouldn’t be hard, considering that one in five mental health professionals have a mental illness.

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Foliage false alarm
CELEBRATE NON-GMO MONTH THIS OCTOBER!
As a historically dry summer came to a close, Granite Staters were concerned that the extreme drought would ruin a main source of tourist revenue and aesthetic enjoyment. But now, it seems, reports of fall foliage’s death have been greatly exaggerated. The Concord Monitor reported early signs of colorful leaves appearing in the state occurred in the North Country, reaching their peak by Columbus Day weekend. And in southern parts of the state, trees have already begun turning various shades of bright yellow, red and orange. The New Hampshire Department of Travel and Tourism predicts 9.5 million leaf-peepers will visit the state during the fall, bringing in about $1.42 billion. QOL Score: +1 Comment: The drought wasn’t as bad in the North Country, but there may be spots of poor foliage in southern New Hampshire as we draw closer to its peak foliage season in late October.

R&D lagging
According to a new report, research and development by businesses and universities in New Hampshire is not keeping up with the rest of the country. The Union Leader reported the 60-page study commissioned by NH EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) shows that industry R&D grew by 5.1 percent in the state since 2009 and 6.7 percent in universities. That’s compared to national industry growth in R&D by 17.8 percent and 16.2 percent among universities. The report outlined recommendations on how to speed up growth in the state by enhancing coordination between universities and businesses. QOL Score: -1 Comment: The year-long study was paid for with $150,000 in federal funds.

QOL has high hopes for powdery slopes in the upcoming ski season, and so do many New Hampshire mountain resort staff. One of the snowmaking ponds at Ragged Mountain will increase in size; currently, it holds about 4 million gallons, and by the end of an upcoming expansion project it will hold 24 million, according to WMUR. The Union Leader reported that Cannon Mountain is seeing improvements in snowmaking, with a $5 million snowmaking/energy efficiency/infrastructure project, while Waterville Valley and Jackson Ski Touring Foundation have added new terrain.

People dressed as clowns have been terrorizing the country for weeks, and now they’ve hit New Hampshire, with creepy clown sightings at two public schools last week — Fremont’s Ellis School and Dover Middle School. In Durham, a residence hall director at the University of New Hampshire reported a man with a clown mask yelling at students outside Williamson Hall with a megaphone, and in Dover, the police department received a report of a person being chased by a clown downtown, according to the Union Leader. No word as to who’s behind the masks or whether any of the sightings are related. QOL score: -2 Comment: These events are likely upsetting to Granite State Clowns, an organization of people who love to clown and, due to clowning appearances in horror movies, frequently fight clowning misconceptions and coulrophobia, i.e., fear of clowns.

News Item: Red Sox Exceed Pre-season Expectations It didn’t take long for the ravenous Boston media to turn on the Sox, did it? All it took was two losses to start the ALDS. The Globe’s Dan Shaughnessy, for instance, was on his usual game saying David Price was “killing” the Sox. True, Game 2 was his latest weak playoff performance in a 6-0 loss, but since his hitters got shutout and Rick Porcello was just as bad in Game 1, I’m not sure how you can say Price alone was killing them. If you want to say the starting pitching killed them, I’m OK with that, but it seemed like a team effort to me. I was surprised Shank called them “the feel good story of the summer” instead of failures for not advancing farther after the Cleveland sweep was complete. We’ll chalk that up to emotional growth. As for expectations, let’s check back at what mine were before the season started in a column in late March: “… there is extreme optimism for Xander Bogaerts and Mookie Betts. As well as for Blake Swihart, Eduardo Rodriguez and even Jackie Bradley Jr. — but they’re more of the wait-and-see variety and that’s a good thing since expectations often spin into an unrealistic dimension in Red Sox Nation. There’s also the acquisitions of David Price and Craig Kimbrel to point to, all of which suggests the Sox will be improved. But thanks to major question marks at first, third, left field and in the rotation, there’s not as much bravado as even last year when public opinion was soaring for what turned out to be the gigantic mistake of paying huge money for Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez….” Bogaerts, Betts, Price and Kimbrel lived up to theirs. Swihart was a bust, and so mostly was E-Rod after missing two months with injury. By any measure Ramirez and JBJR greatly

exceeded theirs. Even Panda contributed by getting hurt. So, after two last-place finishes in a row, a mostly young team winning the division and going to the playoffs exceeds what mine were even if the season eventually ends in disappointment. News Item: Celtics Have Expectations Too Speaking of expectations: By adding Al Horford to an improving young team coming off a 48-win season, the Celtics open camp with much higher expectations than the Sox did. Yet, even when they don’t live up to them, the reporting and commentary never seem as personal as they do with the Sox. Why is that? We’ll have more on that in a few weeks, as, much to the dismay of my insurance mogul friend Dick Lombardi, we’ll be writing about them much more this year. News Item: Back-in-the-Day Sports Argument of the Week If you live here long enough almost everyone buys that Ted Williams is the greatest hitter of all time. That again was in the news after Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan brought it up on Sunday, comparing him to David Ortiz. Ryan conceded Babe Ruth might be better. Might? And being someone who lets things like this pass as well as Donald Trump, I’ll ask, what about Lou Gehrig? He’s got Williams beat in every category except the sissy stats of walks and on-base percentage in their Baseball-Reference.com 162-game average. LG had eight seasons with 200 hits. Ted had none. In double digits triple seasons, Lou eight, Ted one. Williams has 521 homers to 493, but Gehrig was over 40 five times to Ted’s one. Ted’s best RBI season was 159 in 1949. Gehrig had four better seasons than that, including 185 in 1931 and three others above 150 while Ted had no others. Gehrig had more runs scored, doubles, triples (by 92) and 156 more RBI in fewer career plate appearances. And before you play the five-year military card, Gehrig’s last full season came at 35 thanks
to his soon to be fatal illness. Thus he lost up to seven seasons. If he averages 120 in just five as he trends down from the 158 he had in 1937 he winds up near 2,600 RBI. So, sorry, I’ve got Lou Gehrig ahead of Ted too, and it’s not all that close. News Item: 400 Reasons to Like Brady’s Return Speaking of hitting 406, it didn’t take Tom Brady long to hit that mark in his return in a 33-13 win over Cleveland. While he wasn’t exactly facing the 1985 Bears, he was laser accurate from the first snap in connecting on 14 of his first 17 passes while scoring on his first three possessions. Overall it was 406 yards and 3 TDs while completing 28 of 40 attempts. Given his documented early trust issues with almost every new receiver, best of all was newbies Chris Hogan and Martellus Bennett (who caught all 3 TD passes) combining for 171 receiving yards. There was also the return of the real Gronk, who rumbled for 37 yards on a short catch in the opening drive. With that out of the way, do I really need to say it? OK: On to Cincinnati. News Item: Is the End in Sight for Bonner? With NBA camps now open it’s looking like this could be it for the admirable career of Matt Bonner. After 10 years with San Antonio, the trying to get younger Spurs decided to go in a different direction. Thus he was not re-signed and has not hooked on with another club yet. There’s the possibility he could join a team in need of a three-point shooter after injuries hit, but as of now it’s not looking good. If it is over, the high water mark was 2008-09 when he started 67 games for SA while scoring 8.2 points per game. He goes into the books with 4,632 career points (5.8 per), 2,371 rebounds and a 14th best in history 41.4 three-point shooting percentage in 12 seasons with the Spurs and Raptors.

Sports Glossary
Babe Ruth: A guy with nearly 200 homers (714-521) and 400 RBI (2,214-1,839) more than Ted Williams who won 94 games after spending his first five seasons pitching before becoming a full-time hitter. Ted Williams: Hit .406 in 1941 and .388 in 1958. Not to mention .407 in 37 games after returning from Korea in 1953 where his 13 homers project to 52 over a full season. As for hitting .400, since it happened 13 different times between 1901 and 1941 it’s not like he’s the only one who did it, just the last. And the back of his baseball card shows he failed to drive in even 90 runs in his last nine seasons. Bill Mazeroski: Immortalized in Pittsburgh for life for his Game 7 walk-off homer that won the 1960 World Series. With 11 homers that year, he wasn’t quite Bucky Dent, but it was still a shocker for the Yanks after winning their games 10-0, 13-3 and 16-3. It came off reliever Ralph Terry leading off the ninth inning of a crazy game with lead changes (or re-ties) in each half of the final three innings. Ralph Terry: Game 7 loser in 1960 who was right there again in 1962. In a move that would never happen today, Ralph Houk left his starter in the game leading 1-0 to face lefty slugger Willie McCovey after a Willie Mays double put the winning run at second. But this time he survived the bullet Stretch hit because it went right at second baseman Bobby Richardson to end the year.

From cupcakes and ice cream to lattes and beer, pumpkin-lovers have no trouble finding their favorite flavor when fall creeps in. The explosion of pumpkin-flavored everything started as a trend but seems to have evolved into more of a tradition; coffee shops, bakeries and breweries start rolling out their pumpkin-flavored menu items each year as soon as summer starts to wind down, anticipating their customers’ eagerness to get a quintessential taste of fall. Local foodies share some theories on why pumpkin is the thing, plus what they have to offer and what goes into making their goodies. We’ve also compiled a long list of where you can go to get your pumpkin fix. Did we miss any of your favorites? Let us know at food@hippopress.com.
Why pumpkin?
Richard Tango-Lowy, master chocolatier at Dancing Lion Chocolate in Manchester, has a theory about why pumpkin is so popular and why it seems to have outdone apple as the signature fall flavor. “Apples are ubiquitous this time of year. You can’t just grab a pumpkin and take a bite out of it. You have to cut it up and do a lot with it before you can cook with it,” he said, “so pumpkin is more precious in a lot of ways.” HIPPO | OCTOBER 13 - 19, 2016 | PAGE 14
Roni Vetter, owner of Jake’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream of Nashua, said she can’t understand why people have been neglecting apple and turning to more pumpkin-flavored things, especially since an apple on its own tends to have more flavor than a pumpkin, but she guesses it’s because of the other flavors often used with pumpkin, like nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar that people associate with the overall pumpkin flavor. “Pumpkin itself is very bland and boring on its own,” she said. “It’s really the enhancement of the spices that help bring out the natural flavor straight from the pumpkin.” Of course, it’s possible the spike in popularity of pumpkin could just be part of the natural cycle of foods going in and out of favor. Erik Croswell, owner of Incredibrew in Nashua, said he’s enjoying the craze but won’t be surprised if apple comes to the forefront again. “When you look at how flavors trend, variety is the spice of life,” he said. “This year was bad for apples, but they’ll be back around. Pumpkin is just what’s trending right now.”
In your cup
Do you want a pumpkin-y pick-me-up in your coffee or tea? Many local cafes have the ever-popular pumpkin spice latte as well as other coffee drinks.

“Pumpkin latte, pumpkin mocha, pumpkin chai — anything you can combine with pumpkin, we’ll do it,” said Alex Horton, owner of Cafe la Reine in Manchester. If you’re not a fan of fancier drinks, some cafes, including Cafe la Reine, also have regular coffee with pumpkin roasted directly into the beans. Horton said it’s very popular among her customers who like to drink their coffee black but still want a taste of fall in their cup. Hilltop Cafe is in a unique position when it comes to making their pumpkin lattes. Since they’re located right on Temple-
Wilton Community Farm, they’re literally able to source their pumpkins from their backyard. To use pumpkin in their lattes, they roast it, blend it with sugar and spices, then mix it in with the espresso, steamed milk and some nutmeg. “You can tell the difference. It’s real pumpkin, and it’s fresh, and I think that’s why people like [the lattes],” cafe Manager Ben Reed said. “There’s more texture to it. As finely as we blend the pumpkin, it still adds something to the drink, and that’s augmented by the spices.” For even more flavor, you could try the white chocolate pumpkin or salted caramel pumpkin latte at True Brew Barista and Cafe in Concord, or you can add some ice cream with the pumpkin spice affogato from Bonhoeffer’s Cafe in Nashua, made with pumpkin spice ice cream from Hayward’s. No matter what kind of drink it is, Horton said, there’s something about the coffee-pumpkin combination that has people always coming back for more. “It’s one of our top selling flavors of the year. I feel like the majority of people wait all year for it,” she said. “The warm, rich flavor of the coffee just goes well with the cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin flavor.” In the past few years, many breweries have been joining the pumpkin craze by producing pumpkin beers.
Something sweet
If you walk into a local bakery, chances are you can find something pumpkin-flavored, whether it’s a sweet treat like whoopie pies, cupcakes and cookies, or maybe something for breakfast, like muffins, bread or bagels. “We do a pumpkin cookie with cream cheese frosting and spices on top that’s absolutely delicious,” said Denise Nicker-

son, owner and baker at The Bakeshop on Kelley Street in Manchester. “And we do pumpkin whoopie pies with a salted caramel filling, and people seem to love that.” Many bakers use cupcakes as a versatile food to experiment with different pumpkin flavors. For example, Cupcakes 101 in Bedford has a pumpkin spice latte flavored cupcake (the cake is made with pumpkin and espresso) and a cupcake infused with Shipyard Brewing’s Pumpkinhead ale. Sophisticakes of Windham has cupcakes in pumpkin caramel, pumpkin latte, spiced pumpkin pie and pumpkin Oreo flavors. “It’s so popular. It seems like everyone is looking for pumpkin spice things right now,” Nickerson said. “It’s funny how much it just takes over this time of year.” Ice cream comes in all flavors imaginable, so it’s no surprise that you can also find pumpkin ice cream this time of year. The Puritan Backroom in Manchester, The Inside Scoop in Bedford and Jay Gee’s Ice Cream in Salem are just some of the local places to get pumpkin ice cream. Some places have creative flavors, like Hayward’s Ice Cream in Nashua with its pumpkin cheesecake and pumpkin Oreo. Vetter said she starts getting requests for pumpkin ice cream as early as Sept. 1. “I think [pumpkin and ice cream] are amazing together,” she said “The pumpkin flavor just blends nicely with the cream and gives it a velvety texture, and the spices come out really nicely.” Vetter purees locally sourced pumpkins for her ice cream and adds spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Many pumpkin ice creams use a synthetic pumpkin flavoring and orange food coloring rather than real pumpkin, she said, but in her opinion, there’s no comparison in taste between the two.

Peter Telge, owner and brewmaster at Stark Brewing in Manchester, said Stark’s pumpkin ale was one of the first pumpkin beers when it was first brewed in 1994, and it’s always a big attraction at beer festivals. “It’s very well-known and very good, and there’s a reason for it,” he said. “It’s not just that we’re good brewers. It’s the way we do it. … Ninety percent of brewers that do pumpkin ale use a pumpkin pie flavored mix. We use three to four hundred pounds of real pumpkins in every batch we do.” Other local breweries followed with their own variations of pumpkin beer, such as 603 Brewery of Londonderry with a toasted pumpkin ale, and Rockingham Brewing of Derry with a pumpkin stout. Pumpkin beer fans can even brew their own at Incredibrew. Smashed Pumpkin is based on Shipyard Brewing’s Pumpkinhead beer and features a full-bodied pumpkin undertone with a rush of cinnamon, nutmeg and other holiday spices at the end. “I think [pumpkin] goes well with a lot of the wheat flavors and the malt,” Croswell said. “It really complements the pumpkin and lets the pumpkin’s flavor come out.” Beer isn’t the only way to enjoy pumpkin with a kick. Zorvino Vineyards makes Jumping Jack’s pumpkin dessert wine from local sugar pumpkins, which Tom Zack, Zorvino wine director, said is one of the few pumpkin wines in the country. “It’s made with 100-percent pumpkin but spiced a little bit, so it really tastes like pumpkin pie,” he said. “It’s a great meal closer. Excellent with pumpkin cheesecake or a strong cheese.” If beer and wine aren’t your thing, try going out to a local restaurant for a pumpkin martini or cocktail. For example, the Copper Door Restaurant in Bedford has a martini called The Great Pumpkin, made with vanilla vodka, Bols Pumpkin Smash, a splash of cream and a graham cracker rim, and The Peddler’s Daughter in Nashua has a pumpkin pie cocktail made with vanilla vodka, Shipyard Pumpkinhead beer and a cinnamon sugar rim.

“[Pumpkin flavoring] is extremely sweet because they’re trying to heighten the desired flavor with more sugar,” she said, “but I find there’s an aftertaste to it, almost like a chemical taste, from the lab-formulated flavor of the pumpkin.” Vetter said. You can also find pumpkin incorporated into candy or paired with chocolate, such as the pumpkin caramels dipped in milk chocolate available at Granite State Candy Shoppe in Concord and Manchester, and pumpkin bon bons and brownies available at Dancing Lion Chocolate in Manchester. “Pumpkin is nice with the type of chocolate we use,” said Tango-Lowy. “The chocolate is not too sweet on its own. … It’s more on the savory side, so it brings out these complex, beautiful flavors with the pumpkin.”

ARTS Lively weekend
New ways to experience ArtWalk By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
Nashua’s 12th annual ArtWalk is Saturday, Oct. 15, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 16, from noon to 4 p.m., and as usual, visitors will find artists — over 100, more than ever before — exhibiting and selling work at various downtown venues. But this year’s ArtWalk presents new ways to experience and see the art. Judy Carlson, vice president of City Arts Nashua, the orgaArtWalk When: Art studios are open Saturday, Oct. 15, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 16, from noon to 4 p.m. Where: Headquarters is at 30 Temple St., at RJ Finlay and the ArtHub Gallery; other venues include Nashua Historical Society, Riverwalk Cafe, Riverside BBQ, Darrell’s Music Hall, The Framery, League of NH Craftsmen, Twill, Healing in Color, Studio C, Cardin Jewelers, Wine Not Boutique, S. Grigas Studio, Fresh of Nashua, Pompanoosuc Mills, Maison de l’Art, Tangled Roots Herbal, Hollis Arts Society, Beckonings, Just Lights and Picker Collaborative Artists Contact: Visit cityartsnashua.org for a detailed schedule and full list of participating artists; follow @artwalknashua
nization spearheading the event, said these changes come in response to artist and participant comments from 2015. There was a call for an event closer to the holiday buying season — many didn’t have enough art to show in early September — and better advertising beforehand. In response, City Arts Nashua doubled its advertising budget, upped its Facebook, Twitter and Instagram presence and hired project manager Jillian Ketchen part-time to organize. Ginnie Lupi, New Hampshire State Council on the Arts director, also suggested making it more active. “She said people nowadays love art, but they also love experiences. So we went into ArtWalk this year and wanted to make it more experiential,” Carlson said via phone. Now, you can view art while eating at designed ArtWalk “food stops” — El Colima, Giant of Siam, Riverside Barbecue, Portland Pie, Fratello’s, The City Room Cafe, JajaBelle’s and the Thirsty Turtle, all which will feature artists — or by taking part in a Pokemon-themed scavenger hunt, which is now a regular monthly-meet-up organized by Great American Downtown. “The last [Pokemon] event was attended by about 70 gamers,” said Paul Shea, executive director of the Great American Downtown. “We conducted weekly meet-ups throughout the summer, but we thought it would be best to switch to a monthly format. This time, the stops will coincide with more artistic venues.”

The Peacock Players present Willy Wonka at the Janice B. Streeter Theater Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and the candy man himself will be making an appearance between performances at the children’s art events on the library plaza. (He has also hidden a golden ticket in one of the ArtWalk programs; the winner gets two free tickets to see the show.) Visitors will find a variety of free workshops and demonstrations for kids and adults downtown, plus live mural creation events, an adult coloring crawl, puppet shows and concerts. And the last Farmer’s Market of the
season was extended to Oct. 16 in honor of this annual event, during which the winner of the downtown business scarecrow competition will be announced and Doctor Gasp! will perform. Afterward, there are a variety of ArtWalk “after dark” collaborative events to choose from. The goal, as always, is to promote both the creative and downtown Nashua economy. Shea’s liking what he’s been seeing. “We’ve gotten to the point that, on any given weekend, there may be several fair-sized events going on. Most weekends, that’s the case. It’s a pretty exciting time,” he said.
See the Picker artists’ new home About a year ago, longtime Picker Building owner Jack Bolger announced to his tenants — fine artists, craftspeople and creative entrepreneurs — that he was going to retire and accepted an offer from Clocktower Place Apartments to buy the building. For these artists, the future was uncertain, but many have managed to remain together, and ArtWalk 2016 is their first opportunity to showcase their new space at 3 Pine St., just across the street from the original 99 Factory St. facility. Jewelry artist Gail Moriarty and glass artists Mark and Kathleen Frank are leading the venture; they formed Picker Collaborative Artists,
and the rest of the artists in the building — Cindy Goodman, Albert Wilkinson, Sid Ceaser, Bonnie Guercio, Cindy Loranger, Darold Rorabacher, Tanya Prather, Patricia Ahern and Chris Lehmkuhl — will be subtenants. Moriarty said via phone the move-in date is Oct. 12, just a couple days before ArtWalk. Regardless, the artists will be ready to go; at 99 Factory St., there will be a red tag sale with free or marked-down items, and visitors will be able to buy new work and take tours at the new Pine Street place, which is in the midst of construction. “The Picker Building is where we all met, and where we started our friendship and our commu-

nity. … So we wanted to keep it in our name,” Moriarty said. “ArtWalk is very important to us. It’s been really near and dear to our hearts, and no matter what condition the building is in, we have to participate. … We’ll have products, as we always do, for sale.” After the announcement last fall, this was the first building Moriarty looked at, and after seeing about 22 other possibilities, she knew this old mill was the one. She called the owner, Gate City Fence, last spring. She was in full-blown “contractor” mode during her phone interview from the site; floors were going down, walls were going up and

bathrooms were being installed. She said the artists have seen great public support, from anonymous donors to community members bringing coffee and doughnuts during this construction stage, but they’re still looking for more. (Its GoFundMe page is gofundme.com/ pickerartists). She was unable to pinpoint a finish date but has put all her energy into this. The plan is still to hold the group’s annual open house just after Thanksgiving. “I’m out of business until I move,” she said. “We’re self-employed people, so we have to get back up as soon as we can.”

It tells of the artists who flocked from cities to “bucolic New Hampshire” in the 19th century, who were attracted especially by the natural beauty, scenic vistas and growing community of creative people here. The show explores the relationship of artist to studio as a place of creation and as a created space — and how an artist looks particularly at lighting, layout, location and decoration when building one. Viewers will also get glimpses into a variety of modern creative places, courtesy of New Hampshire artists. Visit currier.org.

For fiddling fanatics
Music school hosts inaugural Fall Fiddle Festival By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
110493
New Hampshire fiddlers, rejoice — organizers at the Concord Community Music School launch the inaugural Fall Fiddle Festival this month, with events on Friday, Oct. 21, and Saturday, Oct. 22. Music teacher Liz Faiella initiated the event, which takes inspiration from the school’s March Mandolin Festival, now entering its 15th year and organized by CCMS folk coordinator David Surette. “[The March Mandolin Festival] is this wonderful event. Mandolinists descend on the music school for two days,” Faiella said via phone last week. “I just love the feeling of the festival. It’s so convivial, and David does such a wonderful job of putting together a weekend of multi-genre mandolin music. … I thought it would be so neat to see that happen with the fiddlers here.” Particularly since the school’s fiddling program has been growing in popularity. When Faiella first started teaching there, there weren’t any fiddle ensembles. Now she heads four — two for adults, one for teens and one for kids. Surrette also leads a folk group for adults. “Some teens might feel maybe a little too cool for folk music and these old traditions, but they’re so into it and come up with really cool arrangements and really creative ideas. A number of them signed up for workshops at the fiddle festival,” Faiella said. The reasons for the increased popularity, she can only guess. “At the music school, I think there is a growing interest in folk music. You’re seeing a lot of mandolins and banjos and fiddles being incorporated into more mainstream music now, and I think people are getting exposed to it a little more,” said Faiella, Concord Community Music School Fall Fiddle Festival

naming Mumford & Sons as an example. On Friday night at 7:30 p.m., there’s a concert with Mark Shilansky’s Fugue Mill, who will play original group pieces and music by composers like Leonard Cohen and Samuel Barber. On Saturday, there are three sessions of workshops from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., each of which contains something for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. (They’re recommended for teens and adults, and some basic fiddle experience is required.) They’ll be taught by Pascal Gemme (on the Quebecois fiddle), Mariel Vandersteel (on the Scandinavian and Old-time fiddle) and Faiella (on the Irish fiddle). Later that night, the teaching trio will journey through several fiddling traditions in a concert at 7:30 p.m. “I think that people are especially excited just about the idea of learning new styles of fiddling. I’m primarily an Irish fiddler and contra dance fiddler, and so it’s really neat for them, I think, to have the opportunity to expand their fiddling horizons a little bit and go outside their comfort zones,” Faiella said. Vandersteel has been playing in New England the past 10 years, having moved from California to Boston to attend the Berklee College of Music. She thinks the New England fiddling scene is close-knit and bubbling with energy, in part due to schools like Berklee and the New England Conservatory, which foster traditional music at a high standard. She loves the sound of the instrument, and the people it brings together. “I think it’s one of the instruments that sounds most like the human voice, and I think that has a lot of appeal for performers,” Vandersteel said. “The fiddle community is also a very small, tight-knit and welcoming one. Once you’re in it, you have this whole family of fiddle people across the country and internationally to play with.”

It was the year 2000 when Jim Beauchemin of the New Hampshire Giant Pumpkin Growers Association reached out to the Goffstown Main Street Program with a fun way to use the last of the pumpkins they’d grown that season. “I had this idea that we’d convert them into boats and race them down the [Piscataquog] river,” Beauchemin said with a laugh. The Main Street Program ran with the idea, and now every October, during the weekend after Columbus Day, the Goffstown Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off and Regatta takes place, featuring a talent show, a pumpkin bake-off, kids’ slingshot competitions and more. It has become the signature annual event of the Main Street Program, and this year’s festivities will be held on Saturday, Oct. 15, and Sunday, Oct. 16. “The town had actually been looking to create an event to make Goffstown an attraction,” Beauchemin said. “They loved the idea, and it’s been growing every year.” Kicking off the event on Saturday in downtown Goffstown will be several kids’ games, including a slingshot competition using apples, Beauchemin said. “There will be moving targets in the Piscataquog River and kids will line up on the guardrail and compete to hit the targets,” he said. A pumpkin-themed bake-off will also take place, as well as a chickGoffstown Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off & Regatta When: Saturday, Oct. 15, and Sunday, Oct. 16 (weigh-off is Saturday at 11 a.m.; regatta is Sunday at 3 p.m.) Where: Downtown Goffstown and the Piscataquog River Cost: Free admission. Registration for the 10K will be $30 in advance and $35 on the day of for adults, $25 in advance and $30 on the day of for youths ages 17 and under, and free for the Kids Pumpkin Dash, which is open for kids ages 11 and under. Other activities may require a small fee. Visit: goffstownmainstreet.org

en barbecue, and several local food vendors will be selling fair foods like fried dough and cotton candy. Don’t miss the weigh-off at 11 a.m., when dozens of pumpkins will be entered to win a prize for the heaviest. At 2 p.m. on Saturday, the pumpkin boat building will begin. “Everybody always comes to see that,” Beauchemin said. “Myself and usually two to three designated boat builders do the carving and cutting them open for the contestants. … There are usually 10 pumpkins that get made into boats.” Each pumpkin boat is represented by a sponsor and three of them are routinely given away — one to the Goffstown Police Department, one to the Fire Department and one to the Board of Selectmen. A member of the Goffstown Main Street Program also takes the helm of one of the pumpkin boats. Beauchemin said local nonprofits and businesses are normally given their own boats as sponsors. “We call [the boat riders] the captains, and they do their own decorating on Saturday,” Beauchemin said. “They bring all of their own decorations and we have a trophy that goes to the best-decorated pumpkin called the Jim Beauche-
min Award. … That will get presented on Sunday, but the winner will be determined by the end of the day on Saturday.” The pumpkin boats will then be guarded in a protected area overnight Saturday before being brought out early Sunday morning for a test run at 7:30 a.m. “There’s a lot of planning that goes into it … The giant pumpkins are buoyant, and so a 1,000-pound fishing bob in the water needs to be balanced,” Beauchemin said. “We put sand inside the pumpkin so it settles down inside the water like a ship. Sometimes we have to put 200 pounds of sand into the boat to make it balance in the water.” He said that as a rule, pumpkins need to already weigh at least 700 pounds in order to be suitable as boats. Beginning Sunday at 8:30 a.m. will be the second annual Goffstown Pumpkin Regatta 10K Run, along with the Kids Pumpkin Dash at 10:15 a.m. Beauchemin said an annual favorite with the kids is the Giant Pumpkin Drop, happening Sunday at noon. A crane will lift a 1,000-pound pumpkin up to 80 feet in the air before dropping it into the town pool. “It shatters into a thousand
pieces, and the kids just go crazy picking up the seeds and the chunks of pumpkin,” he said. “We have a countdown and everything — they just can’t wait.” Also happening Sunday afternoon will be the 50/50 mini pumpkin race at 2 p.m., in which people can pay $5 to claim one of 600 tiny pumpkins that will be numbered and sent into the Piscataquog River. The owner of the pumpkin that crosses over the dam first wins half the proceeds in cash. The regatta will then kick off at about 3 p.m. Beauchemin said the race goes by quickly, taking only about 5 to 7 minutes. The winner will receive a traveling trophy, “[The race] goes down a wide section of river, so it’s pretty calm, not what you might think of as swiftmoving water,” he said. “It spans right over the center of Goffstown, so thousands of people will line the riverbanks. … We have a launch site on the dam, so the race is actually upriver and it goes about 300 yards.” Several other features are planned for both days, including wagon racing, pony rides, hot air balloon rides, a pie-eating contest and more. All of the proceeds will benefit the Goffstown Main Street program.

Go garlic
So much flavor for so little work By Henry Homeyer
listings@hippopress.com
110580
105483
Garlic is the least work of any vegetable I grow: I plant it, mulch it and harvest it. Some years I need to weed it once, too. But properly mulched in a weed-free bed, little or no weeding is required. And it’s essentially free: I will plant next year’s crop from this year’s harvest. October is the time to plant. I’ve been growing my own garlic for decades, and each year I plant the biggest, best looking bulbs. Over time I’ve been able to develop varieties that work best in my climate and my soil. There are two types of garlic: hard-neck and soft-neck. Soft-neck garlic is the kind you generally find at the grocery store, and some of it now comes from China, which I try to avoid as I don’t trust their use of chemicals. Most soft-neck garlic is pretty much the same in terms of flavor. It stores well, but soft-neck garlic is adapted for growing in warmer climates, so I don’t recommend it for New England. Hard-neck garlic is so named because each bulb has a stiff stem that is surrounded by the cloves. There are several distinct types (purple striped, Porcelain, and Rocambole, among others) and each has its own distinct flavor. Just as not all tomatoes taste the same, not all garlic is the same. Plant garlic by separating the cloves of a head or bulb of garlic and planting it in rich soil well-amended with compost and a little organic fertilizer. Cloves should be planted about 2 inches deep, pointy end up. Space them 3 to 4 inches apart in rows that are 8 to 12 inches apart. Grocery store garlic has probably been treated to prevent sprouting, so do not plant it. Here is the key to success: mulch your garlic bed well with straw or mulch hay when you plant. A 6- to 12-inch layer of well fluffed mulch hay accomplishes two things. First, it insulates the ground as the cloves of garlic get their roots started. The soil is warm now and the roots will grow until the soil freezes. You want as much root growth now as possible, and the mulch will hold in the heat. Second, the mulch will keep weeds down next summer. Garlic doesn’t compete well with weeds, so keeping it mulched keeps it happy. Your fall-planted garlic will establish its roots and may even send up shoots before snow flies, but don’t worry about that. Come spring it will send up new leaves. Garlic will push up through your layer of mulch, but weeds generally won’t. The garlic scapes, or stems with flowers, will shoot up in mid-summer, twisting and turning in sculptural forms. Some gardeners

believe that cutting the scapes will increase bulb size, though I have never noticed that it makes any difference. The scapes make wonderful components in flower arrangements, and are tasty in a stir-fry. Some herbalists say that you should smash or crush your garlic and then let the garlic rest for 10 minutes before putting it in the frying pan. They say that doing so allows garlic to release chemicals that help to prevent cancer. Who knows? For years now I have prepared it, set it aside, and let it rest before using. It can’t hurt to do so. Michael Phillips, a garlic and apple grower in Groveton, taught me that garlic needs to cure before you cut off the tops. Harvest it, and then let it hang in a cool dry location for a couple of weeks before you cut off the tops. He said the bulbs will reabsorb some of the nutrients in the stalk while it cures. I store my garlic on a wooden orchard rack I got from Gardener’s Supply (gardeners.com) in a cool, dry location. If you have excess garlic, here is a simple recipe that I love.
Roast Garlic with Goat Cheese on Toast
Peel several cloves of garlic – four or five for each dinner guest – and place in a small ceramic oven-proof baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with herbes de Provence. Bake at 400 degrees for half an hour or until the garlic turns golden brown, soft, and slightly translucent. Toast slices of a baguette and spread with the now-soft garlic. Then spread feta or any soft cheese on top. You’ll see that the sharpness of the garlic has disappeared. Yum! Looking to buy some seed garlic? Try your local farm stand or farmers market. If none is available locally, you can get some organic garlic from High Mowing Seeds (www.highmowingseeds.com). They have several good varieties. Garlic may not really keep away vampires, but it’s so tasty and so easy to grow you should try it. Once you do, you’ll grow it forever – and probably live longer for doing so.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT
YOU MIGHT DIE SCREAMING!
Dear Donna,
Do you have any information on the age of this skull pumpkin and possibly a value? B. E. from Manchester
Dear B.E., What a good question with Halloween just around the corner. After doing research and speaking to a friend who collects antique Halloween items, I believe it is a reproduction. I don’t think these days you can find anything they don’t reproduce. Some things I believe are fine to remanufacture because of the cuteness or just for decorations but in the antique collectors world reproductions make it hard and bring down the demand and value of the real things. Your skull (devil face) is a candy container, after which they were used for lanterns. You wouldn’t see that too often nowadays. One like yours originally came from Germany, and it seems the newer ones can even be marked Germany. After the reproductions came out, the story was they were new old stock (warehouse finds) right out of East Germany. I don’t mind buying a newer version, but I want to know what I am buying and not be made to think it is an antique. So even though your candy container is a reproduction it is nice to learn about it. The value on these is in
the $20 range and they should only be bought for decorative reasons, not for an investment. Real ones are valued in the $100 range. One last note: There are other reproductions like this — a ghost, watermelon face, devil head (like yours) and cat — that are the same size and marked as well, so beware. Donna Welch has spent more than 20 years in the antiques and collectibles field and owns From Out Of The Woods Antique Center in Goffstown (fromoutofthewoodsantiques.com). She is an antiques appraiser and instructor. To find out about your antique or collectible, send a clear photo of the object and information about it to Donna Welch, From Out Of The Woods Antique Center, 465 Mast Road, Goffstown, N.H., 03045. Or email her at footwdw@ aol.com. Or drop by the shop (call first, 6248668).

IN/OUT CAR TALK
When your car tells you to walk away, listen Dear Car Talk: I have a 2005 Mini Cooper S Convertible with about 99,500 miles. A few thousand miles ago, the transmission started acting up. By Ray Magliozzi It has a hard 1-2 shift and is slipping between 2-3. I took the car to AAMCO and to the local Mini dealer, and both said that I need a total rebuild — cost would be $5,000 to $7,000, depending on which place I use and whether I want a warranty. In addition to the transmission, the Mini shop says I need several other repairs (strut mounts, engine fan, etc.). All in all, I estimate that it would cost at least $8,000 to put everything (that I know of) back into working order. The Blue Book value on this car is around $5,000 ... not taking into account the failing transmission. For this reason, I am thinking that I couldn’t even sell it to anyone as is. This car is paid off, and I do not really want to have a new car payment. I am concerned though, that even after putting in $8,000 for repairs,
something ELSE will break and cost a few thousand to fix. I know that pretty much every car purchase is a horrible investment; how do I determine whether it is LESS horrible to fix up the Mini and keep it, or to buy a new(er) car and have to make payments? I know I could get “a” new car for relatively little money, but I’m not the type of person to drive just “a” car. I want “the” car — the one that fits my personality and style. Should I trade in the Mini and take the $2,000 or whatever a dealer will give me? Or should I just keep it and drive it until it falls apart? — Coop I think you’ve already “driven it until it falls apart,” Coop. You are very fortunate, really. Very few car owners get such a clear message that it’s time to walk away from an old car. Usually, it’s $1,100 here, $1,700 there, $750 a few months later. But you’ve had a car-repair lightning bolt come out of the sky: Spend $8,000 or get a new car. So get the new car. You got 11 presumably happy years out of your Mini. Say “thank you” and trade it in. Take the $8,000 you would have spent to fix the Mini and take the $2,000 the dealer will give you in trade, and you’ve
got a very substantial down payment on whatever you want next. And for $15-20 grand, you can get a Mini Convertible that’s three to five years old, if you want another one. Or look for something else that tickles your ball joints. This is a blessing, Coop. The skies have opened, a rainbow has appeared and the junkyard beckons. Go toward it. Dear Car Talk: I have a 2010 Ford Ranger that I use as a second vehicle. It’s also on the “friends and family plan”: It seems everybody needs help with a pickup now and then. It has only about 12,000 miles and probably is not going to get many more per year. I have the oil changed about every 18 months or 2,500 miles. Now the dealer wants to start changing the fluids. Which ones are the most important and would be cost-effective to have done? I am 75 years old and will need the truck for another five years or so, but I do want it to be dependable for that time. What fluids should I have changed, and which ones can I let slide? Thanks, and I enjoy your column each week. — Mike My pickup truck was on the “friends
and family plan,” too, Mike. That’s why I got rid of it. It seemed like every weekend I had to help some distant acquaintance move a refrigerator. Anyway, at 75, I’d be more concerned about getting your own fluids checked than this truck’s fluids. I don’t think you need to change any of them, except maybe the brake fluid. Brake fluid can attract water over time, and that can lead to rusty, and then leaky, caliper pistons and wheel cylinders — especially when combined with infrequent use. So after six years, I’d say a brake-fluid change is a good idea. Other than that ... I’d probably change the oil and filter once a year instead of every 18 months. But things like coolant, differential fluid and transmission fluid probably all are good for 100,000 miles on this Ranger. And at the rate you’re adding miles to this truck, you won’t get there until 2085. So, in 2085, change everything. But given your super-low mileage, the only fluids you should need to worry about for now are brake, gas, oil and windshield washer. Visit Cartalk.com

(The first 25 zombies to check in at the staging area will receive a bracelet admitting them to the Food Truck Festival.) Dozens of local food and drink vendors will be showcasing their offerings at the festival, and there will be a DJ and live art demonstrations. “People can either choose to stay and partake in the Food Truck Festival or head back to the courthouse to step off their bikes,” Hatch said. Hatch said the whole ride is expected to take about an hour, with festivities winding down between 5 and 5:30 p.m. All of the sections of road during the ride will be closed off to traffic. Registration is available on Facebook but will also be available on the day of at the staging area. “It’s all about having fun,” Hatch said, “and we’re hoping it adds to the other downtown festivities for the weekend.”

Drawing inspiration from the nationally recognized event held every year in Key West, Florida, the first annual Nashua Zombie Bike Ride will roll through downtown, adding its own New Hampshire flavor. Beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15, you can grab your bicycle and head over to the parking lot of the Old District Courthouse on Walnut Street in Nashua to get made up like a zombie, courtesy of Fright Kingdom, for a $5 to $10 fee. A $10 admission ticket per zombie — or $40 for a team of five zombies — will get you a commemorative bracelet to participate in the bike ride, which will be set up as a leisurely parade across town. “I had actually been down in Key West and didn’t even know [the Zombie Bike Ride] was happening down there until I saw it,” said Tracy Hatch, president and CEO of the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce, which organized the event. “But once I found out, I went to a local CVS and got Halloween masks and toilet paper to dress up.” Hatch said the Oct. 15 date was chosen specifically to coincide with Nashua’s 12th annual ArtWalk, also happening this weekend, along with the city’s first Food Truck Festival, both of which will be incorporated into the zombie event. Several fun features are planned at the “staging area” in the courthouse’s parking lot before the ride kicks off. Riders are welcome to come already dressed up as zombies, Hatch said, and even those who don’t have bicycles are welcome to join in on the fun as parade marchers. There will be three or four categories for the Best Zombie Costume Contest. The ride will kick off at about 4 p.m. with Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess leading the way as the “Chief Zombie,” along with members of Fright Kingdom with a Cadillac hearse. The nearly 2-mile route will head up Walnut Street and through the Nashua Heritage Rail Trail before passing City Hall, where Hatch said there will be a photo opportunity. The ride will then traverse down parts of Main, Temple, East Pearl and Spring streets. It will stop again at the parking lot at 30 Temple St. “Then we’ll have members from Positive Street Art [in Nashua] come who are going to teach the zombies how to do the ‘Thriller’ dance, as well as a brief 5- to 10-minute performance by the Actorsingers,” Hatch said. “We’ll have a flash mob ‘Thriller’

Where to go for pick-your-own apples and pumpkins By Angie Sykeny

• Mr. Mac’s gives back: During October, Mr. Mac’s (497 Hooksett Road, Manchester, 606-1760, mr-macs.com) is running a program called “Give Hope … Get Mac” in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For every Take & Bake order of their macaroni and cheese specialties, Mr. Mac’s will donate $1 to the New Hampshire Breast Cancer Coalition. Participants will also be entered to win a Mr. Mac’s gift card. “We hope that everyone will order a Take & Bake so we can raise as much as possible throughout the month of October,” Mr. Mac’s co-owner Valerie Andersen said in a press release. “We expect that this will be a fun and easy way for all of us to work together to give comfort to those who need it most.” The restaurant plans to make “Give Hope … Get Mac” an annual program. • Best NH coffee shop: Mental Floss magazine has named A&E Coffee and Tea (135 Route 101A, Amherst, 5783338, aeroastery.com) the Best Coffee Shop in New Hampshire in its article “Best Coffee Shops in all 50 States.” The article says A&E “has everything you love about New Hampshire — laidback vibes, charming scenery — in one deliciously caffeinated setting. Try the cappuccino, or a cortado if you need an extra espresso shot, and feel free to ask the baristas for recommendations on the best beans to take home.” A&E 40 Looking for more food and drink fun?

Nashua is celebrating the food truck trend for the first time this year with a festival dedicated to food on wheels. The first annual Nashua Food Truck Festival is happening Saturday, Oct. 15, in the upper parking lot of R.J. Finlay & Co. on Temple Street. “There [have] been a few conversations in previous years about doing something like this, but it never came to fruition,” said Michael Aquino, chairman for the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce Young Professional group, also known as iUGO Nashua, which is organizing the event. “So we decided to take it on and get something off the ground and see how much interest there was, and there’s been a lot of interest.” There will be six food trucks featured at the festival, selling a variety of fare like poutine, barbecue, tacos, Jamaican cuisine, coffee and tea, vegan soups and more. Five of the trucks are coming from the New Hampshire seacoast area, and one is coming from Maine. There aren’t many food trucks currently based in the greater Nashua area, but Aquino said he’s hoping the festival will change that. “We have a decent restaurant scene in downtown, and we aren’t as big as other cities, so there’s not many [food trucks] that travel around here day to day trying to sell food,” he said, “but I think we’re going to start to see it more. I know some local people looking to get into the food truck scene, and hopefully [the festival] paves the way for more of that kind of thing around here.” Aquino said the response so far has been overwhelming; tickets to access the festival
before it opens to the general public — 400 were available — have already sold out, and there’s been interest from more food trucks than the festival space can accommodate. iUGO is already looking into larger venues and additional vendors for next year’s festival. As to the reason behind the growing popularity of food truck festivals, Aquino has a theory. “A lot of these trucks specialize in what they serve, and I think people are attracted to that specialty food experience,” he said. “In any community, all you have are the same restaurants, so what better way to try a bunch of new things you don’t have access to throughout the year?” Participating food trucks Boogalows Island BBQ (Jamaican cuisine) Hot Potato Food Truck (fries, poutine, barbecue smoked meat, chicken wings) The Kitchen Restaurant Group (tacos) The Soup Guy (gluten-free and vegan soups and chili) Todd’s Street Side Grille (wraps, burgers, french fries, etc.) Vagabond Coffee Car (coffee, teas, fresh-pressed juices) 1st Annual Nashua Food Truck Festival When: Saturday, Oct. 15, open to the general public from 5 to 6 p.m. Where: Upper parking lot of R.J. Finlay & Co., 30 Temple St., Nashua Cost: Tickets to access the festival before the general public are sold out, but admission for the general public after 5 p.m. is free. Visit: iugonashua.com

Speakeasy spirit
Rye whiskey released at Roaring ’20s party By Angie Sykeny
asykeny@hippopress.com
After nearly three years of aging in barrels, Flag Hill’s much-anticipated batch of straight rye whiskey is making its debut — speakeasy style. You can be among the first to taste the new spirit at the distillery’s Roaring ’20s Whiskey Release Party on Friday, Oct. 21, in Lee. “We’re so excited about this rye whiskey,” Flag Hill event coordinator Christa Phaneuf said. “It’s something that had to sit and mature for years after we made it, so we’re pumped to finally be able to release it to the public.” The whiskey, comprised of 85 percent rye and 15 percent malt, is one of the first of its kind released in the state, despite this region being specially habitable for rye. Flag Hill owner and distiller Brian Ferguson, whose background is primarily in making bourbon, said he wanted to create a different kind of spirit that represented New England and captured a more traditional style of rye whiskey. “It’s something this region is particularly good for. … New England has a unique climate for aging spirits, and where you age a spirit matters because it picks up different flavor profiles,” he said. “We kept those grassy, hay, honey characters that come with a good rye whiskey, so it’s more similar to how they used to make it.” The party will feature a costume contest for the guests with the best ’20s attire, live music, swing dancing and a bartender cocktail challenge, where local bartenders will compete using the straight rye whiskey to create unique mixed drinks. “When you put rye whiskey in front of a bartender, they want to play and have fun with it,” Phaneuf said. “There’s so many cool flavors you can do with it to create a really fun cocktail.” Party guests can participate in the first toast with the whiskey before a dinner prepared by Chef James Costello is served. The first course will include starters like fall soup shooters (corn chowder with crumbled bacon, tomato soup finished Roaring ’20s Straight Rye Whiskey Release Party When: Friday, Oct. 21, 6 to 10 p.m. Where: Flag Hill Distillery & Winery, 297 N.

with fried mozzarella, and pumpkin bisque with toasted pumpkin seeds), “Buckets o’ Gluten” (brioche rolls, cornbread and sourdough boule paired with sweet and savory compound butters), ahi tuna tartare (sushigrade tuna served with wakame salad, green onion and a crispy wonton) and black and blue hash (slow-roasted brisket, caramelized red onions and Brussels sprout hash with gorgonzola cheese sauce, crushed red pepper and lemon zest). Then there will be a caprese salad, followed by the main course dishes, beef Wellington (sirloin, wild mushroom duxelle and peppercorn demi glaze) and pork roulade (apple and cornbread stuffed pork loin with maple brandy cream sauce), with two side options: sugar maple sweet potato mash and sauteed broccoli with garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Dessert will be spiced rum apple crisp and creme brulee bites. For this year, the whiskey will be available primarily through the Flag Hill tasting room while it lasts, but there is enough currently aging to double the production for next year so that it can be more widely distributed. Ferguson said there’s been a lot of buzz about the new whiskey and he expects it to be very popular. “Whiskey used to be thought of as an old man drink, but that’s completely shifted in the last 10 years or so. Now, who drinks it and how they drink it is across the board,” he said. “For people who like to drink different things, new whiskey is something they’re always looking for and excited about.”

It’s funny that I’m a full-grown person yet I’m still learning how to eat my vegetables. While the days of temper tantrums at the table are long gone (for me, not for my children!), I still find myself coming across new foods and new ways to eat old foods. Take cauliflower, for example. I am learning that cauliflower is particularly versatile. I’ve made amazing pizza crust with it, it’s sat happily under my chicken stir-fry and now I’m going to share a breakfast recipe using cauliflower that will have you throwing out your oatmeal. I mean, seriously! Who knew? Cauliflower is in the same family as broccoli and cabbage and, like those two, grows best in cooler temps. You’ll see this vegetable locally for a few more weeks and, if you’re lucky, you can even snag purple cauliflower heads like I did. At the very least they added a little pizzazz to my cuisine, and as a bonus, the purple hue encouraged my 3-year-old to try something new. There are numerous benefits to eating

During my time as a wine columnist, I have had the opportunity to meet many knowledgeable and notable winemakers. I recently had the chance to add another name to this list, when Michael Mondavi traveled to New Hampshire to help formally open the largest Liquor & Wine Outlet in the region. (Located on the DW Highway in Nashua, this location spans 33,000 square feet and houses more than 7,000 wines and spirits.) During a break in his busy schedule, Michael sat down with me to talk about some of his wines and his family’s winemaking in California. As a third-generation winemaker, Mondavi was born into winemaking and, you might say, pretty much born to do it. His grandfather got involved in winemaking through Prohibition in the early 1920s. Knowing how to make wine, he also profited from the grape shipping business. This is something Mondavi said the family company kept up through the ’80s. In 1966, Mondavi co-founded a winery in Napa Valley with his father, someone else you may recognize from the wine industry: Robert Mondavi. Michael was appointed president and CEO in 1994 and served as chairman from 2001 until they sold the company in 2004. Mondavi and his wife Isabel, along with their adult children Rob and Dina, purchased land in 1999 and started establishing the Michael Mondavi Family Estate. In 2004, they launched Folio Wine Partners. Today, the Mondavi family has two main hillside vineyards in Napa Valley where they grow and harvest grapes: the Oso vineyard, which is situated between Ink Grade and Howell Mountain, and the Animo Vineyard, on Atlas Peak. Mondavi said these locations give the wines more flavor and character. Their wines are not mass produced; the M wine is about 300 to 500 cases per year and their Animo wine about 1,200 to 1,800, depending on the vintage. “We are making wines from the hills,” he said, noting their organic practices and attention to vineyard management. “We are focusing on being wine growers versus winemakers.” Mondavi said 2016 has been an excellent year for grapes. The family was harvesting cabernet sauvignon back home during his visit. “We have to find the right balance by harvesting at the right maturity. Each year is a little different,” he said. “We have learned

to respect Mother Nature. She is the boss and we are the slaves.” We reviewed three wines during our time together and all were cabernet sauvignon wines: Emblem (Napa Valley), Animo and M. Emblem is what Mondavi called the “young” cabernet, made a little differently to appeal to younger wine drinkers. It is a blend of cabernet, syrah, petite syrah, zinfandel and petit verdot. Mondavi’s children, Rob Jr. and Dina, collaborated on the Emblem wine line. The Animo, which is Italian for “heart” or “spirit,” is a blend of cabernet and petit verdot from the vineyard high up on Atlas Peak. It is said that Dina looked at the land of this vineyard and said, “Dad, this place has animo,” hence the name. The land now contains 15 acres of cabernet sauvignon grown between 1,270 and 1,350 feet elevation. M by Michael Mondavi is also a blend of cabernet and petit verdot. They use cabernet as the foundation, as the wines are mainly this grape (I believe it needs to have 75 percent to be listed as a single varietal). Mondavi called M his flagship wine and said it will age very well — for 20 to 30 years even. This wine is inspired by Bordeaux and Robert Mondavi cabs from the 1960s and ’70s. It is made in limited quantities at less than 300 cases. Mondavi said he always thinks about the words of his wife, Isabel, that wine “should be the quiet partner at the table behind people and conversation.” He recommends trying wines with and without food as well, as this can change the experience. I enjoyed speaking with him and getting just a glimpse into his experience and passion as a winemaker. All three of the Mondavi wines are available in New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet stores.

For decades now, since incorporating this Front Line Assembly side project, Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber have pushed the limits of sexiness in house-techno. Working with opera singers and pop idols like Sarah McLachlan, they build aural equivalents of the Venus de Milo, transcending the sugar-coated housemoll space to explore a Shangri-La of female-sung techno beauty that really has no equal. DJs like Tiesto and Above & Beyond would agree, having remixed a few Delerium tunes, and the line to remix some of this album’s songs is already filling up, with guys like Matt Lange, Alex Klingle and Blush having already taken a shot at “Ritual,” the original form of which is next-gen in intent, featuring the mononymed Phildel draping her soprano over swirling, trap-propelled synth lines. Opener “Blue Fires” is a similar animal but with a rainier feel; “Zero” takes a more snap-dance approach; “Keep on Dreaming” flirts with a tribal-electro steez. Stunning, top-drawer stuff as always. A+ — Eric W. Saeger Holy Sons, In the Garden (Partisan Records)
Portlandian songwriter-drummer Emil Amos, the only person in this project, is a bit of an enigma, an exdruggie who barely does any shows but, more to the point, has a habit of changing his entire vocal technique album to album, having had a Neil Young-soundalike period and so on. He’s also contributed multi-instrumentalist duties on records from Grails and Om, if that matters to you, but one of the other things in play here is his songwriting prolificness, which, as I’ve stated before somewhere, can tend to spell mediocrity, especially if you subscribe to the theory that many of the songs written by “prolific songwriters” should just have been combined in the first place. That said, this is a dreamy little slice of lo-fi indie-pop steeped in a 1970s-radio fetish — for example, opening track “Robbed and Gifted”’s sideways resemblance to Gerry Rafferty’s “Right Down the Line.” Amos’s voice tends to stay low and po-faced here, stopping to yodel a bit in the mudcaked Ryan Adams-ish “Denmark.” Despite the “lo-fi” tag, though, all the songs display obvious care, which is an awesome thing to behold when it’s done this well.

Rockin’ ty r a P n e e w o l l a H
PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • Nerdy beatboxing wonder Jamie Lidell is a one-man modernsoul band, now hawking his seventh album, Building a Beginning. Often caught red-handed collaborating with wine-snuffling Canadian musicians like Feist, Lidell is nevertheless an Englishman whose 2005 single “A Little Bit More” became a constant on Target commercials. Over the years he has taken beatboxing to new levels, so we’ll now investigate the new single “Walk Right Back” and see if he coughs or burps by mistake while trying to make the sounds of a guitar or whatnot with his face. Wow, this is deep-down chillfunk, Stevie-Wonder-ish on the vocal side. There’s a police whistle in there, no way he made that sound with his mouth. And that’s the fun part of listening to a beatboxer — seeing if they’re lying. • Crazy and insane extreme-metal whack-jobs Dillinger Escape Plan will release their new LP, Dissociation, so you can crank it while wrecking your room and alienating your parents. Not sure if I’m prepared for this, but I’m going to listen to some of this raving, raging nonsense and see if it physically hurts me just to listen to it. “Limerent Death” is the name of the first single, which means these guys threw darts at a thesaurus, which means now I have to go look up “limerent” on dictionary.com, just great. OK, blah blah blah … “limerent” means something about obsessive infatuation. So these guys are emo now, or is this about Jodie Foster and I should call the cops? No, seriously, I’m asking you, the reader who’s reading this now. You don’t care? Fine, let’s just go listen to this pompous, shredding mass of devil nonsense and then go get ice cream. Dum de dum … wow, check this out, guess what? No, you’ll never guess, it starts out slow with a sub-par Rage Against the Machine imitation, then it’s a math-rock spazz attack. Just like everything they’re ever done. I freaking knew you’d never guess. • I could talk about Conor Oberst’s new album Ruminations, but you probably already know about that, so let’s focus our Sauronlike spotlight on English wingnut-ambient soundsystem The Orb, and their newest LP, titled COW/Chill Out, World! This is important, because The Orb are cool and weird, like, all the Rohypnol kids loved tripping out to them at 5 in the morning just when the party was getting in gear. Remember that? Heck, let’s go listen and pretend we’re tripping and all this 2016 election stuff is happening in another dimension and won’t annihilate us all. Hmph, this is indeed pretty trippy, with subatomic glitch concatenation slowly taken over by a nice breezy Asian vibe. Really trippy. My toaster just asked for time off. • Jangle-arena-indie band Kings of Leon, who are due to suck any day now, release Walls, their newest. Here’s the title track, or so it says here. Wait, where’s the cool drums? Why are they using Pink’s fake drums? It sounds like Goo Goo Dolls but with fake drums. Why is there no singing on this song? Fake drums and no singing. This is stupid. — Eric W. Saeger

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, resident Dixie Tymitz is often surprised to learn some Granite Staters still don’t know about Doris Haddock, a Dublin woman who walked more than 3,200 miles across the UnitDixie Tymitz. ed States to advocate Courtesy photo. for campaign finance reform between the ages of 88 and 90. Though to be fair, Tymitz was in the same position when she first read Granny D: Walking Across America in My 90th Year. “I was amazed that I didn’t even know this woman existed. I thought, people need to know about her!” Tymitz said via phone. Today, Tymitz is getting the word out through a 40-minute, one-woman play she wrote based on Haddock — a.k.a. Granny D — called Granny D: The Power of One, which stops at about 20 venues this fall. Most are in New Hampshire; the next locally is Saturday, Oct. 15, at MainStreet BookEnds in Warner. Tymitz requested permission to turn the story into a play shortly after reading the book in 2005. She was going to be spending a semester at sea with her husband, John Tymitz, president of the Institute of Shipboard Education at the time. “I told [Haddock] I wanted to do this for a group of college students from all over the world, and she wrote me back, giving me her written permission,” Tymitz said. But how could Tymitz write about someone she’d never met? She called Haddock, but Haddock’s daughter Libby answered bearing bad news: Haddock, in her late 90s at the time, was sick and unable to see visitors. Tymitz waited a bit, but instead of calling the family back, she booked a ticket to Manchester and drove to Dublin. She’d never been to New Hampshire before — she can’t even remember where she stayed that night — but the next morning, she called Haddock’s number and essentially said, “I’m here!” “Libby said, ‘Well, she is better now — if you come, she could probably talk for only 10 minutes,’” Tymitz said. “I found my way to their house … and this little old lady opened the door with a big smile. It was Granny D, and we spent the whole day together.” Tymitz’s first performance was at sea in front of students, professors and crew. “It was well-received, and I just decided, I have to do this more,” Tymitz said. “I got involved with this little old lady, and I thought, it must be a calling.”
The piece has since seen many edits. Today, Tymitz performs Granny D: The Power of One as Haddock herself, who was virtually an unknown former Manchester shoe factory secretary and great-grandmother when she became an avid campaign finance reform activist at age 88. On Jan. 1, 1999, Haddock began a trek from the Rose Bowl Tournament of Roses Parade in California to Washington, D.C., to attract support, walking about 10 miles each day for 14 months and attracting a great deal of media attention along the way. When she finished on Feb. 29, 2000, she was 90. “Nobody wanted her to do this. They said she was crazy, even her friends,” Tymitz said. “I’ve got to tell you, I love the women here in New Hampshire. They are their own feisty kind. ... I think Granny D was just typical of that — nothing was going to stop her.” Haddock’s political career was hardly over; a couple months later, she was arrested for demonstrating in the Capitol, and in 2004, she was the Democratic candidate for New Hampshire’s U.S. Senate seat, capturing 34 percent of the vote but losing to Judd Gregg. A year before she died in 2010, she founded the Coalition for Open Democracy, which today is a New Hampshire movement to strengthen democracy and stop the corrupting influence of special interest money in politics. The group helped organize Tymitz’s tour, which stops at schools, libraries, churches and senior and community centers until the end of October. Tymitz and her husband (the “techie” of the duo) are touring as a public service. Their only payment is by donation. But Tymitz feels this is what she’s supposed to be doing. “It’s like [Haddock] jumped on my back and won’t let go,” Tymitz said. “She proved that a nobody, who’s not famous, who doesn’t have a lot of money, can do a lot, and I think that’s really important.”

What with our frantic attempts to scrub the planet free of bacteria with hand sanitizers and Lysol, somebody had to say it — microbes matter. True, there are bad bacteria, like the stuff you fear lurks in your Chipotle burrito, but the bulk of microscopic life on this planet is either benign or helpful, and the antibacterial society has created a culture — no pun intended — that Ed Yong believes is “grossly unfair.” “There are fewer than 100 species of bacteria that cause infectious disease in humans; by contrast, the thousands of species in our guts are mostly harmless. At worst they are passengers or hitchhikers. At best they are invaluable parts of our bodies: not takers of life but its guardians,” he writes. Yong, a science writer for The Atlantic, borrowed from poet Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself” for the title of his book, I Contain Multitudes. The phrase could not contain its antecedent, “I am large,” however, because Yong is writing about the tiniest of creatures, animalcules so small that if you could line them up like Walmart shoppers on Black Friday, a hundred of them would not be as long as a grain of sand. You learned about this in high school, yes, but you also probably read Whitman and didn’t appreciate him near as much until you saw it in Breaking Bad. What Walter White did for Whitman, Yong does for the microbiome in this elegant, fascinating examination of the 100 trillion organisms that share your body and make possible the visible life on the planet. They’re the best kind of animal companions. These creatures live on our skin, in our gut and mouths; we have to feed them but don’t have to walk them or clean out their cages. They help our bodies digest food, dispatch toxins and absorb nutrients. But like any mob, they can turn bad on a dime; ask anyone who’s suffered from E. coli or salmonella. Less malevolent gut flora have been blamed for bloating, constipation, depression, anxiety, brain fog, autoimmune disorders and even autism. Magazines advise “change your gut, change your life.” To that, Yong casts a skeptical eye, arguing that the multibillion-dollar probiotics industry actually has little impact on our digestive tracts. (Antibiotics kill microbes; probiotics, like those found in kefir, propose to add them.) “Even the most concentrated probiotics contain just a few hundred billion bacteria per sachet. That sounds like a lot but the gut already holds at least a hundredfold more. Gulping down a yoghurt is like
ingesting scarcity. Rarity, too: the bacteria in these products are not important members of the adult gut,” he writes. Probiotics are a good idea, just poorly executed, Yong says. We should be able to become healthier if we consume probiotics, but the ones currently available likely won’t do us much good, as they’re generally not microbes already found in the human gut, and they don’t seem capable of hanging out there long enough to change it. Most people don’t investigate the pedigree of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, and just believe they’re good for us because that’s what we’re told. But Yong says they’re in our specialty yogurt and smoothies because they’re easy to grow and good travelers. They probably won’t do us any harm but probably won’t do us any good either. That said, microbes offer a glittering future for medicine. Yong envisions a doctor’s office 30 years hence where a physician acting much like a barista mixes a pill with a bacterium to suppress anxiety, another to lower cholesterol and one to reduce inflammation. And he explains a project already in testing: loading mosquitoes with a bacterium called Wolbachia that stops the pests from passing on the dengue virus. He also looks back, affectionately introducing the Dutch city official who moonlighted as a scientist and lens maker. Antony van Leeuwenhoek was the first person to inspect lake water and rainwater (and later the plaque between his teeth) and to see the wild dances of amoebas and bacteria. He was also the first to see them die, after he doused them with vinegar made from wine. Although more than 300 years have passed since Leeuwenhoeck electrified the scientific community with his “invisible” creatures, microbes are the hot new thing today, as biotech companies and food manufacturers capitalize on the latest research on how our our tiny animal friends impact our health. In less competent hands, however, this could have been a painfully boring book like so many high-school texts. But Yong is the man who wrote in his acknowledgments: “This is not the part where I thank my microbes. This is the part where we ignore the little critters for a spell and focus entirely on the hosts.” Yong has two degrees in zoology and a master of philosophy; he knows his stuff. But fortunately for anyone interested in the microbiome craze, he also knows how to make it interesting. And you probably can thank his microbes for that. A — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
The Girl on the Train (R)
Emily Blunt is a woman so lost she’s not sure if she’s seen a murderer or become one in The Girl on the Train, an ultimately kind of lightweight story given gravitas by Blunt’s standout performance.
Rachel (Blunt) rides a commuter train each day from a suburban town to New York City, staring out the window as she goes. What we eventually learn is that she’s not actually commuting; she’s long since lost her job and is just riding the train into the city and then back out, keeping herself quite inebriated with booze sipped from a water bottle along the way. She also spends her time sketching and being fixated on a pretty blonde woman and her handsome husband — two people she sees from the train. She always notices their house and what they’re doing, perhaps because it’s only a few doors down from what used to be her house. Rachel and husband Tom (Justin Theroux) broke up a few years ago and now he lives at the house — the house, as she tells us, that she decorated — with Anna (Rebecca Ferguson), the woman he had an affair with while still married to Rachel. Tom and Anna have a one-year-old daughter, a fact that seems to stab the knife into Rachel particularly hard. When looking at their life is too painful, she turns her gaze back to the blonde woman. As it turns out, her life ain’t perfect either. Megan (Haley Bennett) is the woman’s name and she is bored and restless, and married to Scott (Luke Evans). He wants her to get pregnant; she wants to have an affair with Dr. Kamal Abdic (Edgar Ramirez), her therapist. Megan works for a while as Tom and Anna’s nanny — though she doesn’t seem particularly keen on stayat-home mom Anna or her baby. After months, maybe even more than a year, of watching Megan and imag-

ining her happy marriage, Rachel is shocked when one day she sees Megan on the porch hugging and kissing a man who isn’t her husband. Later, extremely drunk, Rachel tells no one in particular that she wants to bash Megan’s head in for her betrayal. A little bit later and even drunker, Rachel sees, or thinks she sees, Megan go into a tunnel near the train station. She yells at her. Something happens to Rachel — does she fall? Is she knocked down? — and then she wakes up back at the apartment where she has been crashing with a friend for more than a year. She’s bloody and bruised and has no idea what happened. Later, police Detective Riley (Allison Janney) shows up with questions about Megan, who has gone missing. Whether Riley thinks Rachel is a suspect or just a possible witness, she knows more than she initially lets on about the constant harassment Rachel has leveled at Tom and Anna. She perhaps even knows more than Rachel, who is fascinated by Megan’s disappear-

ance but even more curious and worried about what she might have done that night and all the other times she blacked out. The Girl on the Train is basically a nuanced, engrossing, Oscar nominationworthy portrayal of a woman who has given in to sadness and addiction to such a degree that she can no longer figure out what’s real, surrounded by a bunch of Lifetime movie nonsense that could be called, like, Deadly Suburb. Before we know what Rachel’s deal is, before we even really know how much she drinks, we can see the sadness radiating off her. Somewhere around the halfway point, Rachel explains what has broken her heart and, while it’s interesting to hear her story, we already saw the depths of her brokenness. It almost doesn’t matter what has broken her. We know it’s more serious than just losing the cardboard cutout that is Tom (An aside: seriously, though, let’s talk about Emily Blunt, who was awesome in Sicario last year but didn’t even get a Golden Globe nod, and her need for an Oscar
Denzel Washington dresses like a cowboy, rides a horse and has a shootout ― if you need your movie to go deeper than that, this very conventional Western is probably not for you.

nomination. She was fantastic in that movie and is really the only worthy thing in this one. She elevates this from throwaway goofiness to a real movie with real acting. Blunt in 2017! Blunt for America! Let’s make this happen, Academy members.) But then, like reheated frozen chicken nuggets encircling a filet mignon, around that completely magnetic performance are the stories of Megan and Anna, which get nuttier and more melodramatic as the story unfolds. There’s Luke Evans, playing Scott with the subtlety of a classic-era 90210 very special episode about controlling boyfriends. There’s Justin Theroux, whose final scenes are borderline hilarious. And there’s the whole plot which — as with so many horror films — would basically not happen if the central couple just moved to a different house. I’m not necessarily saying I disliked all of these things. When, in early spring, I am stuck on the couch with some kind of respiratory situation and I flip past this playing on HBO in the early afternoon, I will totally turn back to it and watch it. I will tell myself it’s because of how awesome Emily Blunt is. And while that will be, like, 70 percent of the reason I watch this again, part of it will be because it’s just silly fun. Can you enjoy an artisanal sausage served on a plate full of movie theater hot dogs? Will a perfectly seared ahi tuna be taken as seriously if it is surrounded by Doritos? Check back at awards time, I guess. Until then, feel comfortable checking out a bit of junk food suspense because it comes with a healthy helping of serious acting. BRated R for violence, sexual content, language and nudity. Directed by Tate Taylor with a screenplay by Erin Cressida Wilson (based on the book by Paula Hawkins), The Girl on the Train is an hour and 52 minutes long and distributed by Universal Pictures.
movie performances are Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon. This movie, based on the true story of the theft of millions of dollars from an armored car company, is very dumb but funnier than it should be thanks to a very strong comic cast. C+ Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (PG-13) Asa Butterfield, Eva Green. This book adaptation by Tim Burton gets bogged down in all the exposition and universe-building about this world of supernatural-power-having children and the scary things that are hunting

Director Oliver Stone turns in a restrained, mature and ultimately totally boring look at leaker of NSA documents Edward Snowden. C+ Storks (PG) Voices Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer. Solid vocal talent does not save the all-noise, nocharm story of a stork and an orphan attempting to deliver a baby to her new home. C
Taught to read the Bible as a young boy, grown-up Nat Turner (Nate Parker, also the film’s director and writer of the screenplay) serves as preacher to the fellow slaves owned by Sam Turner (Armie Hammer), who also owns Nat’s mother (Aunjanue Ellis) and grandmother (Esther Scott). Nat has lived on the plantation since he was a child. It was Sam’s mother (Penelope Ann Miller) who taught Nat to read. Now, when he’s not preaching, Nat also works in the cotton fields and serves as Sam’s driver, which is how he first meets Cherry (Aja Naomi King). He sees her as she is being put up for auction and he convinces Sam to buy her as a wedding gift and lady’s maid for Sam’s sister Catherine (Katie Garfield). Cherry has clearly been horribly abused by her previous owner but is cared for by Nat’s family. After her health improves, she is sent to live with Catherine and thanks Nat for, basically, rescuing her from the group of lecherous creeps who could have purchased her. In her new role she is at least near Nat, who courts her and quickly asks to marry her. As Cherry and Nat start a family, Nat also assumes a new means of earning money for Sam. In addition to preaching to the people on the Turner plantation, Sam rents Nat out to preach to slaves on other plantations, with the idea that his use of the more calming/slavery-friendly parts of the Bible will keep the population under the thumb of their owners. Difficult economic times are apparently making life even worse for slaves (more work, even less food) in the region. But what they see at other plantations sickens even Sam. The brutality of the owners and their overseers shakes Nat’s approach to his faith, leading him to consider and even preach not just the obedience-pushing parts of the Bible but those parts that talk about God’s wrath at injustice. As he sees more and more of the cruelty and inhumanity of his world, he begins to think and talk about rebellion. Going in to this movie, I’d read way more about it than I normally do about movies before I see them. I’d read the pieces predicting a grand future for this movie back when it first broke big at film fests. I’d read the coverage that looked at old sexual assault allegations against Nate Parker (who was acquitted of the charges). I’d read the coverage of the coverage, which talked about how the controversy around Parker would affect the film’s chances in award season. I’d read the think-pieces about the movie’s use of rape, treatment of women and general historical accuracy. Going in, the movie felt almost incidental

A preacher leads fellow slaves to rebel in 1830s Virginia in The Birth of a Nation, the Nat Turner biopic you’ve been hearing about since forever.
to all the discussion about the movie. I did not see this with fresh eyes. And I wish I could have. I think it would have had a bigger impact on me, as a narrative, if all of this backstory hadn’t been weighing it down. Still, it’s a movie that deserves attention. Does it, as critics have complained, paint Nat Turner’s rebellion as being more revenge- than justice-motivated? Maybe, though not entirely and, really, if ever revenge was justified. Does it tread lighter on his religious motivation than, well, Wikipedia suggests was historically accurate? Yeah, probably, but I’m not sure how else you convey a divine call to action. Does it, as critics have also complained, give female characters short shrift? Yes, but I’d argue that women, collectively, get at least as much inner life and emotional depth as the non-Nat-Turner male characters. Is it a little too loosey-goosey with history? Well, Nat Turner probably got a good two minutes of discussion through the course of my education (to include college, actually). But Wikipedia suggests “yes” is the answer to this question. Are there moments of high school freshman English class levels of unsubtle imagery? Yes. Is this movie worth seeing? Yes. Because, here’s the thing, a flawed movie about the horrors of slavery from the point of view of slaves is still a movie about the horrors of slavery from the point of view of slaves. That it still feels like a fresh perspective is a pretty good measure of how relatively few mainstream stories (movies, TV shows, etc.) there are doing this kind of story-telling. The Birth of a Nation might deploy, for example, some very literal use of the song “Strange Fruit” but it looks pretty squarely in the face at the terror described in that song. The movie paints its black characters as having lives as filled with near-constant, bone-deep fear, and that seems pretty accurate. Everything Nat did seemed to include the possibility of fatal violence — from learning to read as a young boy to working as a preacher. I don’t know that I’ve seen that way of looking at slavery very often before. The movie also does something in the way it presents its white characters so that they all appear to have some degree of rot happening to them. It’s as though the culture of slavery isn’t just holding down the enslaved but is decaying the slavers as well — which, like I said, is fairly on the nose but there’s still something affecting about seeing it. The Birth of a Nation isn’t perfect but through its performances and its images it is arresting. It pulls you in and makes you consider the crimes it is depicting. B+ Rated R for disturbing violence content and some brief nudity. Directed and screenplay by Nate Parker (who co-wrote the story with Jean McGianni Celestin), The Birth of a Nation is two hours long and distributed by Fox Searchlight.

• Keith don’t go: The prototype for every teen idol that came after, David Cassidy was America’s heartthrob as Keith on TV’s The Partridge Family in the early 1970s. He sold out the Astrodome and later appeared in Las Vegas and on Broadway. His shows these days are more intimate but still feature a large helping of hits from his halcyon days, plus the occasional Cole Porter tune. Go Thursday, Oct. 13, at 7:30 p.m. at Palace Theatre, 80 Hanover St., Manchester. Tickets are $55.50 and up at palacetheatre.org. • Gen MTV: 1999 is in the future again at the 80s Dance Party. A DJ spins hits from the decade of big hair and even bigger Wayfarer sunglasses, everything from “Don’t You Want Me Baby” to “Goodbye to You.” The event includes a cash bar and, in a perfect example of decade mash-up, a selfie costume contest. Go Friday, Oct. 14, at 7:30 p.m. at XO on Elm, 827 Elm St., Manchester. Tickets are $10, $5 if you dine there. Call 560-7998. • Fall fun: German food and performances by two popular area bands are the centerpiece of Oktoberfest, along with open houses at businesses in a Concord trade park and plenty of pumpkin ale and cider at the popular Area 23 bar. Pat & the Hats trek up from Somerville to play, joined by Trade, a supergroup of sorts featuring Scott Solsky, Chris Noyes & George Laliotis. Go Saturday, Oct. 15, at 2 p.m. at Smokestack Center, 254 N. State St., Concord, 522-0137. • Have a cigar: A Nashua tavern celebrates five years of offering Irish cheer and premium cigars with an all-day customer appreciation party. The Stumps play at 6 p.m., and the event includes raffles, swag and cigar specials, beer tastings from 603 Brewery, including their just-released Fall Pumpkin Ale, and a free nip or two of Irish whiskey from Jameson and Glenlivet, along with other libations. Go Saturday, Oct. 15, at 1 p.m. at O’Shea’s Irish Tavern & Cigar Bar, 449 Amherst St, Nashua, 943-7089. • Get funky: A powerhouse quartet, Nth Power mixes soulful rhythm, bracing funk and bluesy rock for a solid sound.

Aaron Neville plays intimate area show By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
When Aaron Neville steps on stage Saturday night in Plymouth, the show will be all about his voice — the tremulous falsetto that’s propelled hits from “Tell It Like It Is” to “Don’t Take Away My Heaven,” and the voice of Neville the storyteller. Accompanied by piano player Michael Goods, the singer promises a free-ranging, often impromptu performance. “It’s like a musical journey of where I come from,” Neville said in a recent phone interview. “People don’t want us to leave because it’s like I’m in my living room, and I’m just treating them to stuff that’s real ... a little bit of everything, and stories about my life.’ One topic likely to come up is Neville’s hitmaking collaboration with Linda Ronstadt in the late 1980s and early ’90s. The two connected in Neville’s hometown in 1984. “She was in New Orleans with Nelson Riddle … and she came to see me and my brothers at Pete Fountain’s club,” Neville said. “Someone told me she was in the audience; I dedicated a song to her and then called her up on stage.” A year later, they sang “Ave Maria” together at a benefit show. “She said we should get together and record, right then and there,” Neville said. “We made ‘Don’t Know Much,’ and I said, ‘I’ll see you at the Grammys.’ I know that was saying a lot, but it was a great record. Aaron Neville When: Saturday, Oct. 15, 7:30 p.m. Where: Flying Monkey Movie House & Performance Center, 39 Main St., Plymouth Tickets: $55 and up at flyingmonkeynh. com

... She would tell people our voices were married, like we sang together in another lifetime.” Stricken with Parkinson’s disease in recent years, Ronstadt no longer sings, but Neville reports that the two speak often. “I always remind her she was one of the greatest, and that I’m so grateful she and I were on the planet at the same time and we had a chance to sing together,” he said. Ronstadt also served as Neville’s producer on 1991’s Warm Your Heart. “She did a great job — that’s one of my favorites,” he said. Like most of his albums, the songs were curated for him; Neville’s reputation is as an interpreter, from his earliest hit “Tell It Like It Is” to his last Top 40 song, 2006’s “It’s All Right.” On his latest album, Apache, for the first time he’s both singer and songwriter; nine of 10 tracks on Apache are Neville originals. “I write poetry and I write rhythms,” he
said. “Anytime I write, at the same time I’m thinking about rhythm.” Thousands of these poems are stored on Neville’s iPhone, and when he connected with Soulive guitarist and in-demand producer Eric Krasno, he found a way for them to become songs. “He read my mind and arranged the music just the way I wanted it,” Neville said. David Getter of Widespread Panic also contributed to a funky stew of New Orleans rhythms, deep funk and heartfelt soul. The centerpiece is “Stomping Grounds,” a song that almost was the album’s title. It’s a travelogue of Neville’s hometown and influences, name-checking a panopoly of artists who with Neville helped define what Jackson Browne called “the city that gave us the first American music.” Writing the song was almost effortless, even for a man who lets the muse find him before he begins. “It was so easy, “ Neville said. “When I write I can’t sit down and plan. It has to come to me, I have to be inspired, [but] it was like somebody was telling me what to write about.” Closing out the album is “Fragile World,” a plaintive spoken-word track with a groove reminiscent of “Hercules,” an early hit written by Allen Toussaint. The song catalogs the pains of the planet, from natural disasters to unnatural horrors like suicide bombers. “At least animals kill for food, man kills in his neighborhood,” he says, while referencing Marvin Gaye’s “Mercy Mercy Me” and “What’s Going On.” Krasno and Getter set it to music. “That was something that started as rhymes coming from my heart,” Neville said. “This is the real deal, this is what we’re going to, and I wanted to lay it out. You can’t get out of the way, people killing themselves to kill other people.”
Across the pond
U.K.-based folk singer plays New Hampshire By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
Sarah McQuaid jumped into the music business in 1997, recording a disc of traditional Irish songs, then got out almost as quickly. After raising a family and growing weary of her day job, she got back in 10 years later. Encouraged by her experience leading a guitar workshop, McQuaid made a rootsy return album.
To put it mildly, the landscape had changed, the era of big record deals giving way to iTunes. Though fraught with challenges, the shift suited McQuaid fine. Many artist she knew likened getting signed to indentured servitude. "They thought they were onto a brilliant thing, then either got dropped after one successful record, or stuck in development," she said in a recent interview. "It's a long hard climb, but I'm making a profit [and] that's better than scrambling to be the
goose that lays the golden egg. At a grassroots level, there's always hope; all it takes is one nice break." Her luck seemed to improve with the release last year of Walking Into White, a disc resplendent with insightful lyricism, driven by McQuaid's uniquely tuned guitar-playing and a singing voice that's a measure of Beth Orton brushed with Judy Collins. A chance meeting with photographer Phil Nicholis led to McQuaid's visage 52 HIPPO | OCTOBER 13 - 19, 2016 | PAGE 51

51 appearing alongside those of Amy Winehouse, Joe Strummer and Lemmy Kilmister in Nicholis's Legends of Rock exhibition, and a world-class CD booklet. The stars seemed aligned, as the album made many Top 10 folk lists and a gushy Huffington Post story. Live shows were a different story, though, as she struggled to fill seats. A year in, the record is moving beyond the ripples of critics’ raves, and McQuaid's current tour hints at a turning point. "It feels like it’s finally percolated through a little bit," she said. "I've had a couple of sold-out shows, and I'm seeing better turnouts at concerts. ... That's really heartening." Of course, this isn't Beyonce success — McQuaid's gentle sound is a farm-to-table serving to the musical gourmand, and her biggest crowd might top 100 in an opera house. But speaking prior to a house concert in Colorado, she was excited the show had a waiting list. "I don't think I had anything like that last year," she said, "but it's still not quite at the point that I want it to be." McQuaid performs Friday, Oct. 21, at Red & Shorty's, a guitar-festooned listening room in Dover that's a favorite haunt for visiting folkies. It will be her second visit. The show caps a week-long New England swing and a coast-to-coast tour that began early September in Texas. Following a final show in Woods Hole, Mass., on Oct. 23, she'll do a month of shows around her current home base in western England, then settle into building a follow-up to Walking Into White. McQuaid hinted that potential studio players may turn it into a dream project. "I have a musician that I don't want to yet name because we're not making it until next May," she said. "I don't want to jinx it
by saying too much, but I have been a longtime hero worshiper of this musician." Apart from a smattering of gigs, next year will be about recording. "We decided it would be good to take a year off of touring so I could really focus," McQuaid said. She's already writing material, including an instrumental piece written for a friend's wedding. Her preference is for writing more than she needs and paring it down, a process that served her well on the last album. "I felt like I wound up with an album where all the songs fitted and flowed together very nicely," she said. "So I would like to do that again." McQuaid reports that her muse took a strange turn of late. "Without sounding too morbid, death has been running through, but in a good way," she said with a chuckle. "Death and decomposition, thinking about how all of those words relate to music as well [as] ... how notes decay is all whirling around in my head." Teaching and writing books on guitar-playing helps McQuid continue as a musician. "I don't make enough to pay taxes yet, but I am making a tiny profit," she said. "At the end of the day, I just have to keep making the best music I can possibly make and giving the strongest performances I'm capable of. ... If I stay at the level I'm at, it's OK, I will have had a career. But it would be nice to break through to a slightly further level."

Frontiers of science
Large kidney stones typically mean eye-watering pain and sudden urinary blockage until the stone “passes” (often requiring expensive sound-wave treatment to break up a large stone). Michigan State University urologist David Wartinger told The Atlantic in September that he had recently happened upon a pain-free — even exciting! — way to pass stones before they become problems: the centripetal force from a roller coaster ride. In a 200-trip experiment preparing for a validating “human” trial, he successfully passed stones in his hand-held, silicone model kidney (using his own urine) about two-thirds of the time when sitting in a rear seat at Disney World’s Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Perspective
• With about 30 states having adopted some form of “stand your ground” defense to assault (or murder) charges, five membership organizations, charging up to $40 a month, have signed up a half-million gun owners concerned that law enforcement treat them fairly should they someday be forced to shoot, providing instructions and a “hot line” to coach members on what to tell police, plus liability insurance and help getting a lawyer. Critics say such organizations are also useful to those who might be prone to shooting people and want advice on how best to get away with it. The U.S. Concealed Carry organization’s wallet-sized card, to give to police, asks that the shooter under suspicion be given the same consideration as the officers might give to their own colleagues under suspicion. • In a dozen YouTube videos recently released, Syria’s Tourism Ministry praised the country’s sandy, fun-filled beaches as ideal vacation spots and its many World Heritage Sites as renowned tourist exhibits, attempting to distract world travelers from the country’s daily bloodshed (and the wartime destruction of those priceless historical sites). Before civil war broke out in 2011, Syria was a fashionable, $8 billion-a-year destination (and the now-devastated city of Aleppo was known worldwide for its food).
Awesome!
Diego the giant tortoise, believed to be more than 100 years old, now lives in semi-retirement on Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos, but from 1976 to 2010, Diego brought an almost-extinct species back to life by fathering about 800 babies in the captive breeding program on Espanola, another of the Galapagos Islands. Biologists did not realize Diego’s prowess until 2010 when DNA tests identified

him as the father of 40 percent of all tortoises on the island. Even on Santa Cruz Island, Diego keeps busy, with a “harem” of six females. (Another Galapagos tortoise species did die out in 2012 when the last male, the centenarian Lonesome George, maintained his celibacy until death.)
Compelling explanations
• The New York City Council, grilling police officials in September about their practice of freely seizing money from detainees under suspicion, asked for a thorough accounting of that money (suspecting that innocent victims rarely get it back unless aided by high-powered lawyers). Though (in “crime-fighting” hyperbole) NYPD routinely boasts of its half-million annual seizures, an NYPD official told the council it would be “impossible” to account for everything, that keeping track of it all would cause its computers to crash. • The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is bureaucratically at the epicenter of the state’s drought crisis, but in September KCBS-TV aired video of the department actually using sprinklers to water the artificial lawn at a substation in South Los Angeles. A DWP spokesperson said such watering is routine at substations to “clean” the plastic (and wash off any dog urine, for example).
the Social Security Administration owed her sums that recently reached $100,000, and that she had documents to prove it. However, given her circumstances, most regarded her as just another luckless person confused by homeless life. In June, though, after social worker Julie Turner took a closer look and found, improbably, that Witter was indeed owed $100,000 and even more improbably, that all of her paperwork was carefully organized among the unimpressive possessions she hauled around daily, SSA paid her $999 on the spot, and the remaining $99,999 arrived in August.
Feel-good marketing
• One branch of the James Harper funeral homes, in Bromley, England, announced its latest promotion via a sign in a front window (reported by the Bromley News Shopper in September): “Wow! Free Child’s Battery Powered Vehicle With Every Pre-Paid Funeral Arranged This Month.” A Harper spokesperson said the purpose was to encourage residents to think ahead about funerals. • “Considering Cremation?” was the headline of the Aug. 7 advertising supplement to the Tampa Bay Times (and other Florida newspapers), appearing just below a snapshot of a mom, dad and three youngsters frolicking in the grass, seemingly overjoyed. Nothing about cremation appeared except dates and sites of free cremation seminars, sponsored by Unbelievable Wanda Witter, 80, had been living on the National Cremation Society (whose Washington, D.C., streets for 10 years, but website is thankfully more somber).
