By the time you read this, they’ll all be gone.

No, not the candidates running for office, nor their canvassers, nor even the TV ads. Rather, it’ll be those ubiquitous political lawn signs that will have disappeared.

Lawn signs are like bumper stickers in the sense that they are expressions of personal preference. With both, one literally “puts it out there” for all to see what her or his choices are: whether a position on gun control, right to life, school choice, or a political candidate. Both bumper stickers and lawn signs also express our ownership of the statement and, possibly even our willingness to engage in a conversation about the sentiment we’ve expressed so publicly.

And so it’s no surprise that here in New Hampshire, during both the primary and general election seasons, lawn signs sprout as prolifically as mushrooms in the spring.

Our street is blanketed with them. So what a contrast it was for me when, last week, as I was being driven through a residential section of a smallish Midwestern city, I saw no lawn signs. In responding to my question why there were no signs, my host explained that it wasn’t the custom in their community, that folks kept their political candidate preferences to themselves and instead made their choices at the ballot box.

Not so in New Hampshire. But as a sign of the times — pun intended — the highly polarized atmosphere of this year’s campaign has manifested itself in something of a battle of the signs. In the week immediately before the election, as I write this, the sign outside our house endorsing a gubernatorial candidate has been vandalized twice and removed once entirely. On two other occasions, our sign endorsing a candidate for Executive Council was blocked by a sign endorsing the opponent placed immediately in front of it.

While it’s true that New Hampshire law prohibits both defacing and removing an owner’s lawn sign (as well as placing a sign on private property), what is truly disturbing is the anonymity of both actions. In none of the cases is it likely the individual would have had the courtesy to knock on our front door and engage in a civil conversation about the qualifications of either candidate. Instead disagreement was expressed as cowardly as are often those postings of unnamed folks who haunt the online “Comment” sections following newspaper articles.

Yes, civility often requires courage. The health of our democracy requires both.

NEWS & NOTES New bills

As the state prepares for its next legislative session, newly elected and re-elected lawmakers prepare to submit their own bills. The 400 members of the House were allowed to start filing legislation on Monday, Nov. 14. Among the bills already submitted are Democratic-backed measures to raise the minimum wage, repeal the education tax credit and enhance background checks for gun purchases, according to the state government website. Those are not likely to succeed in the Republican-controlled legislature. Some bills that might see more Republican support include a measure to establish a residency period requirement for first-time voters, prohibiting Common Core implementation in public elementary and secondary schools and establishing a fetal homicide definition in the criminal code. Other bills related to the drug crisis include enhanced penalties for drug dealers, creating a fund for purchasing Narcan kits and setting up a needle exchange program, which proponents argue will cut down on needle-borne infections like HIV and hepatitis C. In New Hampshire, every bill gets a hearing and a vote.

Youngest gov

Chris Sununu, the Republican executive councilor voters picked to be the state’s next governor, will be the youngest governor in the nation come January. The AP reported Sununu turned 42 earlier this month, making him seven months younger than the next-youngest governorelect, Republican Eric Greitens of Missouri. The current youngest governor is Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina, who is two years older than Sununu. The youngest governor ever to serve New Hampshire was Hugh Gregg, who was elected in 1952 at the age of 35.

Ayotte’s next move

On the heels of her election defeat against Gov. Maggie Hassan, Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte appears to be on the short list of candidates being considered for Secretary of Defense in Presidentelect Donald Trump’s cabinet. The

Washington Post first reported Ayotte was in the running. When asked by the Union Leader if she would consider joining the Trump administration, she told reporters she wouldn’t rule it out. Trump and Ayotte have had their differences during the election. Ayotte never gave her full endorsement of Trump as presidential candidate or nominee, and after the Access Hollywood tape came out, she withdrew her support, saying she would write in Mike Pence.

Ayotte would be the first female secretary of defense if she got the position.

MA, ME: Pot legal

New Hampshire is about to be nearly surrounded by states with legalized marijuana following ballot measures that passed in Massachusetts and Maine. The AP reported the results of the vote in Massachusetts were in by election night, with 54 percent in favor and 46 percent against — a difference of more than 230,000 votes.

Maine was too close to call for a couple days, but legalization narrowly won by about 6,000 votes.

Opponents to legalization, who organized the “No On 1” campaign, are taking steps to request a recount.

Recounts

Three New Hampshire state races appear to be headed for recount. The AP reported Democratic Sen. Andrew Hosmer of Laconia requested a recount in his race against Republican Harold French. French is up by only 13 votes. There are also two House races facing recounts. Republican Dick Marston, running in Manchester Ward 12, requested a recount, as did Democrat Andrew Gregoire. According to the New York Times, Gregoire was just three votes behind Republican Lisa Freeman, who won the second seat in District 12, and Marston lost to Democrat Joel Elber by just two votes.

Drug raid

Manchester police raided a downtown apartment building they said was known to be a site for selling drugs with guns present. Chief Nick Willard said the city’s narcotics division conducted its own investigation of the building but the SWAT raid was aided by the FBI Gang Task Force. A child was removed from the premises and Willard personally carried him to a safe location before he was taken into state child protective custody. The Orange Street address where the raid took place was next door to an apartment building where last year police arrested drug dealers from New York who had been allegedly selling crack cocaine in exchange for guns. It was later reported that they were members of a Bronx gang that had been swept up in the largest gang crackdown by the NYPD in city history.

CONCORD

In Manchester’s Mall of New Hampshire, a Muslim woman wearing a headscarf was shopping when someone came up to her and spat in her face this past week, Hooksettaccording to the Concord Monitor.

Muslim men and women in Manchester met over the weekend to discuss the issue, as did the IslamGoffstown ic Society of Greater Concord.

The property tax rate in Bow went down by $2.25 per $1,000 of assessed value, a 7.9-percent decrease from Bedford last year. According to a press release, the change is thanks to an $80.9 million Amherst increase in assessed property value.

Milford

Rape shield

The New Hampshire Supreme Court has denied another request by the lawyers of convicted murderer Seth Mazzaglia to unseal court records outlining the sexual past of his victim, Elizabeth “Lizzi” Marriott. The AP reported this is the third time the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of protecting Marriott’s privacy, something her family has fought for. The state’s “rape shield” law provides for a level of privacy for sexual assault victims during trial proceedings. Mazzaglia has tested the limits of that law by trying to argue that Marriott’s sealed sexual

history was crucial to his defense.

Lawyers’ oral arguments will be public during the appeal process, but they will not be permitted to discuss the contents of those sealed records.

Supermoon

For New Hampshire viewers, the rare supermoon took place on Sunday, Nov. 13. According to multiple news reports, the

supermoon is a full moon that occurs when the moon is closest to the Earth. The full moon began officially on Sunday but Monday’s moon was just as spectacular. November’s supermoon — referred to as a Full Beaver Moon — is said to appear larger than all supermoons since 1948 because of how much closer the moon was to Earth. It won’t be that close again until 2034.

NH PARTY LEADERS?

HUDSON STREET PARKERS

Two local politicos are reportedly poised to take the reins of both national parties. Several GOP sources and media outlets reported Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski of Windham is being considered to replace Reince Priebus as Republican National Chairman. Priebus was recently named Trump’s chief of staff; Lewandowski abruptly resigned from his job at CNN, which he took after being pushed out of the Trump campaign. Meanwhile, New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley confirmed he would explore a possible run to lead the national party. The DNC chairmanship election will be held before March 1. Chairwoman Donna Brazile’s interim term ends Feb. 28.

The town of Hudson will be enforcing a $100 fine for vehicles that obstruct snow removal efforts this year. The Telegraph of Nashua reported car owners can face up to $320 in fees after towing charges and evening public street parking fines are included.

Record turnout

What we can learn from early data on how NH voted

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

More Granite Staters voted in this presidential election than ever befores, and it just surpassed the record — previously held by President Barack Obama in 2008 — for the largest percentage of voters of any election in at least 30 years.

According to the New Hampshire Secretary of State, 755,840 New Hampshire residents cast a ballot in the election, about 72.59 percent of the eligible voting population.

As a state, New Hampshire already has relatively high turnout, according to political analyst Dean Spiliotes with Southern New Hampshire University.

“We have a political culture in the state that really values and helps promote high turnout,” Spiliotes said. “I don’t think that will change.”

The biggest increases in voter turnout occurred in the most populous counties and the counties that saw the most population growth in recent years. They include Hillsborough, Rockingham and Strafford counties, essentially the southern tier of the state.

For example, turnout in Rockingham increased by 7 percent in real numbers between 2012 and 2016. Hillsborough’s turnout increased by 5 percent. Smaller counties like Belknap also saw a big jump compared to the last two years.

But some counties actually saw declines when compared to 2008. Those include Cheshire, Carroll, Sullivan and Coos.

UNH pollster Andy Smith said those counties have been becoming increasingly Democratic over the years, so a decrease in turnout there is possibly telling.

“The fact that less people voted in those counties would be an indication of less Democratic turnout,” Smith said.

He said that if that’s the case, it’s likely attributable to Clinton’s low favorability numbers.

But he cautions that’s still speculation as final numbers showing which party affili-

Swing counties

Rockingham and Hillsborough counties, which include major cities like Manchester and Nashua as well as big towns like Derry and Salem, voted for Donald Trump overall this year. These two counties have been swinging between both parties for several years, though Smith said Rockingham has grown increasingly Republican of late.

In 1996 both counties voted for Bill Clinton, in 2000 and 2004 they both voted for George Bush and in 2008 they voted for Obama. They split in 2012 when Rockingham voted for Mitt Romney.

This is noteworthy since, except for Rockingham in 2012, the counties had picked the ultimate national winner, regardless of who won the state.

One explanation for their Trump vote this year may be that those counties are naturally more Republican, according to Spiliotes.

Their votes for Obama were likely buttressed by a popular movement and the 1996 election was a blowout for Bill Clinton, making those the possible exceptions to the rule.

Party and ideology, however, were not apparently as influential as socioeconomics.

Smith said there were signs of this in townby-town results.

“Trump did significantly worse than Romney in upscale Republican towns like Bedford and Amherst, but he was able to win in traditionally blue-collar Democratic towns like Rochester and Claremont,” Smith said.

National exit poll data found similar patterns and many believe it’s why Trump was able to unexpectedly win states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The race was so close in New Hampshire, with Clinton winning it by less than 1 percent, that traditional bellwether towns like Rochester were unreliable indicators this year.

“Trump did not win Rochester by that

much and Clinton didn’t with the state by that much either,” Smith said.

Big cities like Manchester, Concord and Nashua all voted for Clinton, but Smith said the margins there were tighter than they were in recent elections.

“Clinton did not win Manchester by as big of a margin as Obama did,” Smith said.

Who voted?

Spiliotes said Clinton’s strategy was to try to replicate the voting coalition of young people and minorities Obama had supporting him, but she didn’t get as many young voters as Obama did nationally (54 percent of 18to 29-year-olds compared to his 60 percent, according to exit polls) and she did slightly worse with the black and Latino vote compared to Obama as well.

In New Hampshire, the population is predominantly white and aging.

“So there was a significant dropoff for Democrats there,” Smith said.

But what gave Clinton a slight edge was education rates in the state. According to an analysis of exit polls by ABC News, Clinton won the college graduate vote by a 22-point

margin in New Hampshire, which is double the margin Obama had against Romney.

College graduates make up the majority of the voters, up to 55 percent. Clinton won 63 percent of college-educated women and about half of college-educated men. Romney did better with college-educated men. Clinton also got 65 percent of the voters with graduate degrees.

Seniors in New Hampshire supported Clinton this year but by a smaller margin than they have with other Democratic candidates in past presidential elections, but more seniors came out to vote this year — nearly double the average turnout from polling data going back to 1984.

Younger people age 18 to 39 also supported Clinton, but the age group overall represented 34 percent of the exit poll respondents. In the 40-to-65 age group, more voters supported Trump and the age group in total was 49 percent of the vote. Seniors made up 16 percent of the vote and slightly more of them supported Clinton.

Overall it was tight. Among the the youngest age group (18 to 25), the vote was split 46 percent to 45 percent in favor of Clinton.

In New Hampshire, women made up 52

Yes, deer

Mating season means more deer crossing roads

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

With deer in the midst of their mating season — also known as a rut — Fish and Game specialists are warning drivers to keep an eye out as rutting behaviors mean more deer crossing roads.

“This time of year, this is when the breeding season starts. The majority of the breeding takes place really during a short period of time,” Fish and Game wildlife biologist Dan Bergeron said.

According to a study, Bergeron said, about 80 percent of the breeding happens in a three-week period that peaks in mid-November.

But behaviors associated with breeding begin sooner than that.

As the deer hunting season started, deer were harder to spot because of an abundance of acorns for them to feed on and more tree cover thanks to a late autumn.

But mating behaviors override those factors, Bergeron said, especially in the males.

“Bucks kind of forget about anything else except finding a doe to breed. They decrease the amount of time they spend sleeping and eating and they can actually lose quite a bit of weight during this time period because all they’re doing is kind of searching for does,” Bergeron said.

Does that go into heat will roam out a little bit more than usual, but they don’t cover percent of the vote, and 54 percent of them voted for Clinton. Fifty-three percent of men voted for Trump.

Looking forward

This year’s voting patterns represent a shift among white working-class middle-aged men, according to Spiliotes. Where before they have voted for both parties, that group appears to be moving to the right, while rich, educated whites and minorities are staying left.

“I think it’s been moving that way for a while,” Spiliotes said.

As national numbers revealed, they were instrumental in handing Trump states believed to be safely in Clinton’s column.

The same is true of the white, working-class demographic in New Hampshire.

“I think the question going forward is going to be is this some kind of realignment in the state or is this some kind of one-time reset?” Spiliotes said.

New Hampshire stood apart as one of the last states where party divide narrowed rather than deepened, based on county margins.

To Smith, the tightness of the race here is a sign of the larger forces in this election.

“It shows more about the impact … of

nearly as much ground as the bucks.

Bucks will breed with several does during this period, and a doe will often break off from her family unit, which usually consists of her mother and sisters, when she becomes pregnant.

But Bergeron said it’s not uncommon to see groups of does or bucks chasing after does over roadways. He advises motorists who stop for one deer to be sure there aren’t any more following that one before moving again. Often, it’s the second deer to cross that gets hit, because drivers are watching the first deer so closely.

The hour of the day matters too. While deer can be seen in the middle of the day, they are most active during dawn and dusk, which is when visibility is most difficult for drivers.

The breeding behaviors are directed by hormonal changes that are triggered by the shortening length of days. Bergeron said the deer have evolved to enter their rut at a time of year that ensures fawns are born around late May and most of June, a time when the snow is gone and food is more plentiful. If fawns are born too early, they won’t survive due to lack of food. If they’re born too late they won’t have enough time to fatten up before winter.

According to a study Fish and Game did on roadkill deer, about 60 percent were pregnant with twins. the economic environment and the overall political environment this year compared to 2012,” Smith said.

This year, New Hampshire was the only state that didn’t have any counties with margins 20 percent or higher, which bucks a national trend in that direction according to the New York Times. Grafton County came close at 19 percent in favor of Clinton, but the average for all counties in either direction was 8.3 percent. In Hillsborough, the margin was lowest, 0.2 percent, in favor of Trump.

Dean Shankle Jr. has been town administrator of Hooksett since coming on board on Sept. 1, 2011. Prior to that, he served as town administrator in Hinsdale and Epping and as town manager in Merrimack. Shankle has a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Massachusetts.

State tourism officials predict a successful winter season. According to a press release, the New Hampshire Division of Travel & Tourism Development is forecasting 8.2 million people will come to the state and spend an estimated $1.2 billion here during December, January and February. That would be a 6-percent increase in visitors and a 5-percent increase in spending. The DTTD made its announcement alongside representatives of the state’s ski industry at the Ski NH annual media reception.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: In addition to skiing and snowmobiling, the announcement event highlighted the popular options for snowshoeing, ice climbing, dog sledding and the 7,000 miles of snowmobiling trails.

Gas prices falling The average retail gasoline price in New Hampshire has gone down by 1.7 cents per gallon in the past week, according to Gasbuddy.com.

The average price is now about $2.16 per gallon, which is 1.3 cents lower than a month ago. While the decrease is always good for motorists, the overall trend might be a leveling out of gas prices since it’s slightly higher than the record low $2.10 per gallon price we saw this time last year. But it’s still lower than it’s been the past four years prior to that. The price is currently lower than the average price in Vermont and Boston.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: New Hampshire gas prices are about the same as the national average right now, which is $2.15 per gallon.

Time to clear out some items that’ve been collecting dust in the attack of this cluttered sports mind.

To those who say the gigantic ratings for the Cubs-Indians World Series are evidence where baseball is headed: Pump the brakes. True, it showed the product at its peak. But with all its incredible storylines this Series was a perfect storm that can’t be duplicated. Plus, with all the ex-Red Sox storylines — Theo, Tito, Jon Lester and the rest — a very large third market had a unique interest too.

And after another great post season, we’re getting another round of what a mistake it was to let Lester go. But remember, they turned his trade into Rick Porcello, which ain’t bad and he’s cheaper.

Other than to say I was stunned by the lack of effort in three early Celtics losses, I’m going to withhold comment until they all sober up.

Here’s my take on the NFL ratings crisis. I have two games a week in me. Like any fan, I always watch the Patriots, and before Sunday Night Football that meant the 4 p.m. game after the golf season ended as well. But now with a national game on Sunday night, the 4 p.m. is out because I’d rather have needles stuck in my eyes than sit in front of the tube for nine straight hours. I only watch Monday or Thursday if the Pats are playing. Finally, in having four “national” games each week, there aren’t enough great match-ups to show, so the ratings sank.

I’m guessing the folks who shut down the men’s soccer program at Haaaavard for the adolescent stunt of rating female soccer players by their looks didn’t push the lever for Donald Trump. I don’t know about you, but that seems a bit extreme to me. Then again, if you put the hammer down it lets everyone know you’re

Cubs, Collins and cancellation not messing around. But here are two thoughts about their action: (1) If it were the women’s team doing the ranking of the men, would their season have been canceled? If not, that’s a gigantic double standard. (2) The social and business phenomenon known as Facebook, or, as it was called at the beginning, Face Mash, was, according to Wikipedia and the film The Social Network, started by Mark Zuckerberg while he was a Harvard student to rank the looks of Crimson co-eds. So how come I don’t see the school backing away from FB? Probably because they want to be in line for a large donation someday for its gigantic endowment when those Harvard alums in on it from Day 1 are ready to unload some cash. Anyone else think that’s hypocritical?

Speaking of the election, good thing they legalized pot in Massachusetts because if the Patriots defense continues to play as horrendously as it did in their first post-Jamie Collins game on Sunday vs. Seattle, Patriot Nation is going to need something to dull the pain.

And speaking of the pot issue, anyone else notice former WGIR sports anchor Bob Lobel was a big advocate stumping to legalize weed down there? Thanks to several health issues, the longtime WBZ-TV anchor is a user for medicinal purposes.

One more thing about the pot vote. If it’ll be legal to possess it in December, but not legal to sell it until 2018, won’t users have to break the law to buy it before they can legally possess it? How can that make sense? If you ask me, they must have been sampling the product while figuring out how to implement the whole thing. But I digress.

This is not worth the headache it’ll give me. But as a long ago college player, coach, TV broadcaster of UNH games and someone who wants them to do well, I find it embarrassing that our state U is so desperate to make the record appear better than it is, it scheduled Division 3 Lesley College to get last week’s rugged 85-60 win. And who can wait for the Jan. 2 tilt with Wheelock College? Wasn’t the

Oyster River JV available?

Sorry, but Mark Cuban banning reporters from Mavericks games is not the same as Trump threatening to ban (or sue) reporters from his events because he didn’t like what they were saying. The soon to be president was elected by us, well, not by me, but by, ah, well, a minority of Americans, and in a democracy transparency is vital. A free press is essential to that, not to mention guaranteed in the Constitution. As for Cuban, after seeing him charge out onto the court to confront referees over calls he didn’t like, it’s not exactly a news flash he’s a thin-skinned crybaby. The Mavs are a private business and he can ban whoever he wants. Just don’t whine if negative consequences arise for doing it.

Good move by the brass to move Blake Swihart back to catcher. With Jackie Bradley Jr., Mookie Betts and Andrew Benintendi ensconced in the outfield and Yoan Moncada the future third baseman, where else could he play? Plus, his trade value as a catcher who can hit is much higher.

I love the “Tradition” event held by the Boston Sports Museum and Shaquille O’Neal as well. But honoring the big fella this year seems like a stretch. He played just 40 games for the C’s and if it’s in the opponent’s category, with Lakers rivalry deader than the Clinton campaign during his time in L.A., a lot of guys should come before him, starting with more deserving L.A.-ites Magic Johnson, (gulp) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, not to mention Elgin Baylor, Jerry West and Wilt. And if you want someone more current, what about Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter? Drew Bledsoe on the other hand is a great choice.

Finally, what do you think would have happened to Pete Carroll if the Patriots had scored that final-minute TD and converted going for two to win after Pete’s latest numbskull move of going for two on Seattle’s last TD? Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress.com.

11 – consecutive years SNHU has gone to the

all she wrote for the SNHU soccer team after a 1-0 loss to Adelphi in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA tournament. The good news is they advanced to that round with a 3-1 win over LeMoyne after getting two goals from Robert Brown and another from all-name teamer Rayane Boukemia.

Alumni News: Yes, that was J.D. Dudek of the Auburn Dudeks scoring twice for Boston College in a 5-3 win over UNH last week. Overall, that’s three goals and two assists for Dudek with the 9-2-1 Eagles.

Lobel said at the broadcast’s end, “I don’t want to leave, ’cause I just want to stay here and tell you about it some more.”

Jamie Collins: Patriots linebacker exiled to the Elba of the NFL in Cleveland. The question of the day is, was losing him a contributing factor to the F grade submitted by the D on Sunday night? Not sure, but I do know I can’t recall hearing replacement Elandon Roberts’ name called even once in the broadcast.

Elba: Isolated Mediterranean island off the eastern coast of Italy that Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to after doing much more to sow discontent in France than Collins did to the Patriots locker room.

Jon Lester trade: The Red Sox sent Lester west for Oakland slugger Yoenis Cespedes in July 2014. Then they flipped the unlikable Cespedes to Detroit for Rick Porcello, who after a horrible first year won a Cy Young-worthy 22 games in 2015, three more than Lester has ever won anywhere.

The Big Story: The only thing bad about the searing Bedford-Merrimack football game on Saturday was that it didn’t happen in the D-I State Championship game. No disrespect intended to Exeter, who will be in the game by virtue of a 23-20 win in OT over Nashua North.

But a game that goes to OT on a TD pass that came on the final play in regulation after time had expired due to a penalty and then is won by the same combo is the kind of stuff legendary games come from.

And that’s the way it happened as Bedford downed Merrimack 27-20 in OT Saturday when Noah Chaberek caught a five-yard back shoulder fade from Connor Robert with no time remaining to send it to OT and then hooked up on a slant in overtime for the game-winning score. The loss ends Merrimack’s record-breaking season at 9-2, while 11-0 Bedford moves on to next Saturday’s championship matchup with Exeter.

Sports 101: Name 10 Red Sox players to win the MVP award, the club Mookie Betts will join if he is named AL-MVP on Thursday.

How to feast at home without a mess in the kitchen PLUS Where to dine out on Turkey Day p. 42

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

If you’ve ever had a hand in cooking the Thanksgiving meal, you know how stressful it can be, from juggling all the side dishes to conquering the turkey. Getting everything on the table while it’s still hot is a Sisyphean task, and by the time you’re finished cleaning up, everyone else is well into their post-turkey naps.

This year, why not take some of the work and the stress out of cooking with a ready-made Thanksgiving dinner? Whether it’s just the turkey giving you grief or the entire meal, there are many local restaurants, bakeries and catering services offering prepared foods, from individual HIPPO | NOVEMBER 17 - 23, 2016 | PAGE 14

items to complete meal packages. All you have to do is place your order, pick it up and reheat it. Here’s what’s available to order, plus some tips on how to keep your meal fresh and looking homemade while giving it some personal flair.

On the side

If you’re up for tackling the turkey but don’t want to be bogged down with all of the other parts of the meal, there are places that offer just the sides, priced individually and by quantity so you can customize your meal to suit your needs.

“A lot of people get really freaked out about feeding a lot of people,” said Debbi McLain, owner and chef at Extra Touch Gourmet in Bedford. “I think they just

need to take a little of that edge off, and if you have the sides [premade], it helps and makes it a lot less stressful.”

Extra Touch makes everything but the turkey with sides like cranberry apple stuffing, whipped butternut squash, mashed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts and more, as well as a few kinds of breads and desserts.

McLain said some of her customers get all of the sides for their meals from her and either make their own turkey or buy a cooked one elsewhere. Most, however, get one or two select dishes that they don’t know how or don’t want to make themselves, just to lighten the load. Top sellers include the butternut squash soup, carrots made with a special sweet marinade

recipe, and cranberry apple chutney. Simpler dishes like mashed potatoes generally aren’t as sought after.

“With something like the chutney, it’s a lot nicer than just opening up a can of cranberry gel,” McLain said. “It looks more festive and homemade with the chunks of apple and cranberry and definitely makes it more of your own meal.”

Take the turkey

On the flip side, if you can manage the sides on your own but find the turkey too daunting, there are places that specialize in just turkeys or offer turkeys a la carte as part of their menus.

Be aware that turkeys are offered in various forms — uncooked and natural or

brined, cooked and natural or with all the fixings, or pre-sliced — so make sure you know what you’re getting before you order.

The Stocked Fridge, a meal service and catering company in Merrimack, offers turkeys uncooked but brined, which gives them more flavor and allows them to cook faster. Detailed instructions on how to cook the turkey are included with each order.

Chef and owner Christine Kachmar said it’s a good option for people who want a little help, but not the fully cooked turkey.

“We brine them, but the [customers] are cooking it themselves at home, so they’re still able to say that they did it,” she said.

“They can call it their own homemade dinner, and they can say that it was freshly cooked that morning.”

If you want nothing to do with cooking the turkey, you can buy one fully cooked.

The Black Forest Cafe in Amherst, for example, offers a boneless, stuffed and roasted turkey breast, ready to heat and slice, with a sausage-style focaccia bread stuffing and a quart of ready-to-pour gravy.

“Thanksgiving is pretty involved these days, so we like to think of ourselves as full service,” said Black Forest’s front of the house manager, Anthony Cormier. “Since we make all of our food from scratch and by hand, it’s going to turn out the same way that you’d cook your own, which melds well with how most people like their holiday to be.”

More than pie

When it comes to the dessert, you can keep things traditional with a pumpkin or apple pie, which are offered at most bakeries, or you can spice things up with quirkier sweets.

Queen City Cupcakes in Manchester, for example, offers Thanksgiving cupcakes in unique flavors like pumpkin maple, gingerbread cookie and sweet potato casserole, which is a sweet potato cupcake baked with brown sugar and pecan crisp, topped with cinnamon marshmallow buttercream and candied pecans.

Instead of pies, Extra Touch Gourmet offers fun-sized desserts like mini pumpkin whoopie pies and mini pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, which McLain said are always a hit.

“Sometimes people want some little bites in addition to the pies,” she said, “something they can just grab and munch on throughout the day before dinner.”

Some bakeries offering desserts also offer dinner rolls, loaves and sweet breads.

In addition to their traditional pies, the Cake Fairy in Hooksett has a variety of flavored breads, including banana, pumpkin, orange-cranberry, lemon and date-nut, available as mini loaves or tube pan loaves (shaped like a bundt cake).

Cake Fairy owner and baker Lisa Lucciano said the best thing about bread for

Thanksgiving is its versatility.

“You can have it with dinner, as part of the hors d'oeuvres, and they’re nice in the morning to serve for breakfast if you have people from out of town staying with you,” she said. “You can also serve them with plain cream cheese, which is an amazing accent — especially to the banana and pumpkin breads, which are already so flavorful.”

Dinner is done

For those looking to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible, there are full Thanksgiving meals available to order that include the turkey (or an alternative maincourse meat), all of the traditional sides and sometimes bread and dessert. Some places, like The Stocked Fridge and Black Forest Cafe, offer everything needed for a complete dinner, but priced per item so you still have the freedom to exclude dishes you don’t want. Others, like the Concord Food Co-op, have meal packages for a fixed price. Theirs includes a cooked turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce and choice of greens, but there are additional sides that can be purchased separately, such as sweet potato au gratin, pumpkin-stuffed acorn squash, maple ginger carrots and more, as well as soups like autumn bisque, apple pumpkin bisque and mushroom ale. Each order also comes with a personalized instruction sheet that lays out what to do each hour leading up to the dinner to prepare the dishes efficiently and maximize their freshness.

“Sometimes things don’t come out great.

Sometimes the turkey comes out dry.

Those things can happen to a home cook without culinary expertise,” said Keith McCormack, executive chef at the co-op.

“So we’re saying it’s OK to let us do the whole meal so all you have to do is warm it up. Let us worry about it making it perfectly, and you can just have a great time with your family.”

the day before Thanksgiving (and most do), that’s when you should aim to do it; the closer to Thanksgiving Day, the fresher it will be.

With a pre-cooked turkey, McCormack said, the best method is to put it in the oven just long enough to warm it up and carve it. That’s usually 45 minutes to an hour at around 250 to 300 degrees. Overheating the turkey could cause it to lose moisture.

Instead of using the traditional stuffing for the turkey, try using aromatics, which won’t interfere with how the turkey roasts like stuffing can. McCormack recommends celery, carrots, onions, garlic, cloves, halved lemons and oranges. Kachmar also uses a blend of aromatics on her turkeys that includes cinnamon sticks, apple, fresh rosemary, sage and onion.

“You just put a few in the cavity and when it gets hot, they release an aroma throughout the turkey,” McCormack said. “It’s a cool and effective way of flavoring the turkey from the inside out.”

As a general rule for the sides, Cormier said it’s better to use the oven to reheat them rather than the microwave because the microwave can make them soggy. When you take a dish out of the oven, keep it covered with tinfoil until serving so it doesn’t dry out.

If you’re low on oven and burner space, McLain said there is one dish you can get away with microwaving without degrading the quality: “I hate to even say the word ‘microwave,’ but really, mashed potatoes would be fine if you’re running out of room and want to save some time,” she said. “Just add a little bit of half-and-half to them so they’re more whipped and not as heavy.”

As for pies, the best way to store one to preserve its quality depends on the type of pie it is. Lucciano said cream-based pies like chocolate cream and pumpkin should be refrigerated. With pies that are more crust-based, Cormier said he strongly advises people to open the pie’s box and leave it

Make it your own

Finally, if you’re looking to give a dish a more homemade feel or customize it to fit your personal taste, adding some herbs and spices can do the trick.

“Fresh herbs are a great way to perk up the flavor of any meal, particularly at Thanksgiving,” said Maria Noel Groves, local author and herbalist at Wintergreen Botanicals Herbal Clinic and Education Center. “Even if you’re buying your herbs, stick with those that would still be growing this time of year [like] rosemary, parsley, chives, sage, thyme [and] oregano. These are the flavors that blend well with seasonal foods and that we associate with a good home-cooked Thanksgiving meal.”

Though sage can be overpowering, you can tone it down by frying the fresh leaves in butter or olive oil. The resulting mellow flavor, Groves said, is perfect for squash, potatoes and stuffing, and you can freely add a handful of leaves to the dish without ruining it.

McLain suggests garnishing a dish with a single sage leaf or a couple cranberries to make it more festive, or dropping a chunk of butter on top of the mashed potatoes to give them that mouthwatering appearance.

Parsley and chives can also be used primarily as a garnish to add more color and a warmer look without adding much flavor.

Whether it’s with herbs and spices, garnishes or sauces, Kachmar encourages people to have fun and not be afraid of getting creative.

“With any kind of packaged meal, adding your own herbs or sauce or homemade dip can really brighten it up,” she said. “Add your own twist to it and make it your own.”

“The pie is more moist than the air in the house, so if you leave it in the box, whatever moisture is in the pie itself stays in the box and makes the crust softer,” he said. “If you leave the box open and let the air circulate, the crust will stay crispy and keep its flakiness.”

ARTS Pushing boundaries

Master Chorale’s “Eve, Absinthe, Alice” celebrates women

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

It’s all about women in the New Hampshire Master Chorale’s upcoming program, “Eve, Absinthe, Alice,” with events this weekend in Concord and Plymouth.

The title comes from the concert’s centerpiece, a world premiere commissioned by the Master Chorale, with music by Boston composer and Dartmouth alum Oliver Caplan and lyrics by poet Ruth Kessler.

Caplan, who sang under Master Chorale Music Director Dan Perkins as part of Dartmouth College’s Handel Society years back, pitched “Eve, Absinthe, Alice” for the chorale last spring. He’d been tinkering with the idea of setting three of Kessler’s poems — “Eve to Posterity,” “The Absinthe Drinker” and “My name is” — to music since 2013, when he met Kessler during a residency at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.

At the time, she was working on a collection featuring 17 poems that give voice to women in myths and the arts.

Three of these women stuck out to him: Eve from the Bible; the woman featured “Eve, Absinthe, Alice” Eagle Square: Saturday, Nov. 19, at 8 p.m., at the Eagle Square Atrium, Concord; cocktail reception at 7 p.m., during which the poet and composer will be available to talk informally about their work and process Plymouth Congregational Church: 4 Post Office Square, Plymouth, Sunday, Nov. 20, at 4 p.m.

Admission: $30, free for students Contact: nhmasterchorale.org, facebook. com/NHMasterChorale

in French artist Edgar Degas’s painting “The Absinthe Drinker”; and Alice from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

“They’re all stories about women pushing the boundaries and reaching further, which I think is this very human thing to do. There are lots of themes of curiosity and temptation,” Caplan said during a phone interview last week. “I think one of [Perkins’] strengths as a chorale director is he does a good job of getting inside characters and the voices behind the singers — it makes him a good fit for this piece.”

Perkins loved the idea. At the time, he had dates for the chorale’s winter concerts but was still narrowing in on a theme.

One of his ideas, actually, was to commemorate how far women have come this election season.

“After reading the texts through, I thought it was a fantastic concept,” Perkins said. “I had thought about the theme of celebrating women, but I hadn’t chosen all the repertoire. When [Caplan] came forward, he just solidified the plans, and this piece became the centerpiece for the entire concert.”

Caplan wrote the music last summer during residencies at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and the Brush Creek Ranch in Wyoming. He presented the finished product to Perkins in September, in time for the chorale’s first rehearsal later that month.

The concurrent worlds in each tale also intrigued Caplan. In “Eve to Posterity,” Eve ponders the dilemma of free choice after her fateful act and enters into a new world of knowledge. For her movement,

Caplan used a Phrygian scale, which has Eastern roots, to give the piece inflections of Mesopotamia and inspire images of the Garden of Eden.

“The first poem about Eve — it really is her questioning her choice to eat the apple and take on the knowledge of the world, and then be saddled for eternity with blame,” Perkins said. “But she keeps asking herself, ‘Would I do this again? Would I make that choice?’”

In the second movement, set to “The Absinthe Drinker,” the subject escapes her world of lost opportunities by tasting the infamous hallucinogenic — and to put the listener there, Caplan added hints of jazz and Asian sounds, traditional to lots of French music.

The last movement, set to “My name is,” contains romantic notes to bring concert-goers to Wonderland.

All poems are presented in their entirety, though Caplan tinkered with order and repetition for a better translation to music.

Other pieces include a lyrical setting of words by Ruth from the Bible (“Entreat me not to leave you … Where you go, I will go”) composed by Dan Forrest; “A Heart in Hiding,” with six Emily Dickinson poems, set by Vermont composer Gwyneth Walker; two poems by Sara Teasdale, “There Will Be Rest” and “To See the Sky,” set by Frank Ticheli and Jocelyn Hagen, respectively; a setting of Emma Lazarus’ words (“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”) set by Joshua Fishbein; and “Wonders Unfold,” by Master Chorale baritone Andrew Morrissey.

Perkins said he’s pleased with Caplan’s music and the program.

“It’s really great music, accessible to the listener,” Perkins said.

LAUNDRY BUTLERS

Once on This Island is about how, too often, arbitrary differences divide humans unnecessarily — an important message today especially, Community Players of Concord Director Bryan Halperin said during a phone interview last week.

The Players perform the one-act sungthrough musical, based on My Love, My Love

by Rosa Guy, at the Concord City Auditorium this weekend, with showtimes Nov. 18 through Nov. 20.

The original Broadway production, with music by Stephen Flaherty and book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, went up from 1990 to 1991, and the 1994 West End production won the 1995 Olivier Award for Best New Musical. It starts during a stormy night in Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean Sea, where a group of village storytellers offer comfort to a crying girl by telling her the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who falls for a wealthy boy from the other side of her island.

Not many New Hampshire theaters take on the play because the traditionally all-AfricanAmerican cast can be difficult to find within the state’s demographic. But Halperin, a fan of the music, had been wanting to direct Once on This Island for a while.

“I was looking for an appropriate time, place and group it might work for. When I saw Concord was looking for directors last year, I pitched it to them,” Halperin said. “I had a take on it they thought was exciting, and something new to bring to community theater.”

Halperin’s version starts in a gymnasium, with cinderblock walls, bleachers and decorations for a school-wide masquerade that lay forgotten due to an oncoming storm — the school has turned into a shelter. Instead of village storytellers, it’s a group of Red Cross volunteers who tell the story of Ti Moune to help calm down a frightened child, using materials at hand and asking the little girl to fill in the blanks with her imagination.

Umbrellas perched on ladders become trees, and a disco ball flashing lights brings in a glittery storm. A toy car careening down a hill turns into an on-stage automobile accident, and when the sun rises, two actors will lift a third holding and opening a yellow umbrella. To illustrate the story’s opposing groups, actors wear masquerade masks of two different colors.

“It’s storytelling theater. We’re not looking to make everything realistic,” Halperin said. “It gives the audience an opportunity to use their imagination, and it gives the cast the opportunity to be creative in how we bring things to life.”

Players president Kathryn Hodges said the theater board liked the proposal because of its unusual presentation and because of its commentary on superficial differences, whether they be race, religion or political affiliations.

“The underlying themes are, surface is just surface. Black, mulatto, French, white, it doesn’t matter; when these two young people fall in love, their masks fall away. They don’t see their differences. They see each other,” Hodges said.

Hodges said the musical drew a crowd of new faces; of the 29-member cast, 14 are new to the Players, as are Halperin, Music Director Troy Lucia and Choreographer Jen Sassak. They collectively hail from 15 Granite State cities and towns and have been working hard on this challenging production, which is almost entirely sung through and contains intensive dance footwork.

Even with its heavy-hitting theme, Halperin said it’s a fun show to watch and, with a 90-minute run time, accessible for viewers young and old.

“The world would be a better place if we stop letting these differences divide us and instead look at people as individuals in their own merits. … In a state like New Hampshire, where there isn’t a ton of diversity, it’s important to show our kids these stories and teach these lessons that you won’t experience in your day-to-day lives living in New Hampshire,” he said. “You can be tapping your toes, humming along with a big smile on your face while taking in important messages and having empathy for characters on stage.”

Notes from the theater scene

• Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs: The New Hampshire Technical Institute Stage Lynx student drama club presents Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs, directed by Jim Speigel, this weekend with shows Friday, Nov. 18, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 19, at 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Nov. 20, at 2 p.m., at the school’s Sweeney Auditorium, 31 College Drive, Concord. The semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy set in the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn during the Great Depression focuses on Eugene Morris Jerome, a Polish-Jewish American teenager going through puberty, sexual awakening and a search for identity — while living with his formidable mother, overworked father and worldly older brother, plus his widowed aunt, her daughters and “Grandpa the Socialist,” according to a press release.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE Night visions

Quarrybrook turns out the lights for next community event

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Hike through the dark nighttime woods — no flashlights allowed — and learn about the nocturnal animals that prowl New Hampshire during the Quarrybrook Outdoor Learning Center’s free Night Experience event.

The Windham center is hosting three night hikes on Friday, Nov. 18, from 6 to 8 p.m.; one is for participants only age 16 and older, one is a general night hike for all ages, and one is an astronomythemed hike that will also be open to all age groups.

The rules are simple: dress warmly and comfortably, wear good walking shoes, and be prepared to not use any flashlights, Quarrybrook educator Lindsey Grundfast said.

“There are six of us that teach here [at Quarrybrook], and we’ll be leading people out for a walk in the woods … and relying on our natural senses to help guide us,” Grundfast said. “That will allow our night vision to start working, and we’ll be talking about how the rods and cones in our eyes help us start seeing better in the night, as well as doing some echolocation activities [during the hikes].”

Night Experience Community Event When: Friday, Nov. 18, 6 to 8 p.m.

Where: Quarrybrook Outdoor Learning Center, 39 Roulston Road, Windham Cost: Free Visit: quarrybrook.org

Last year’s night hike — the first one of its kind held at Quarrybrook — was a success, with a significantly higher turnout than some of the center’s other community events. Other hikes throughout the year have included a snowshoe hike and a fall foliage hike during the season’s peak.

“I think [the night hike] is different enough that people have not necessarily known much about sensory activities before and wanted to come check it out for that reason,” Grundfast said. “We do hear and see tons of animals and come across evidence of animals like coyote, deer, raccoons, owls, we’ve found evidence of a bobcat … so

Merle Schlesinger will demonstrate Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Thurs., Nov. 17, 9:30 a.m. Stratham Municipal Building, 10 Bunker Hill Road, Stratham. Free and open to the public. Call Pat Navin at 9296315.

there’s lots of variety.”

Grundfast said each community event is set up a bit differently, depending on the theme and the weather. If the sky is not clear during the night, for example, the astronomy-themed hike will turn into another general night hike.

The hikes will only be cancelled in the event of a heavy downpour.

Grundfast said the sensory activities that will be covered during the hikes can be learned indoors as well.

“If it’s raining hard, then we’re not going to do it outside, but even if it’s a light drizzle, people will still come out and enjoy,” she said.

“Some of the activities are more about listening, so you can turn the

lights off or close your eyes or use blindfolds and do different activities that way.”

Quarrybrook offers students from schools in and around the Merrimack Valley hands-on learning about different lessons they learn in the classroom and encourages them to think about the natural world around them, Grundfast said.

But the community events, which started two years ago, are open to anyone interested in learning about nature.

“We do have students coming to us every day, but the community events are our way of inviting the community out for a day to spend some time with us,” she said.

Each year about now I suddenly realize I should have already finished putting my garden to bed. I can be a bit of a procrastinator; most of us are. If you haven’t finished cleaning up your gardens, it’s time to get to work.

First, and most important to me, is to clean up the vegetable garden and get rid of weeds.

I mulch heavily with newspapers and mulch hay, but there are still weeds present. Last week I raked off any newspapers my hungry earthworms had not eaten, and the rotting mulch hay on top. Then I dug out my weeds and lugged them away. Because of the mulch, weeding was not too time-consuming.

I did have some deep-rooted weeds, mainly dock. The roots of this weed can easily go a foot deep in the first year. So I couldn’t just pull them, even with my favorite weeding tool in hand, the CobraHead weeder. They are a job for a garden fork. I push down on it with my foot, and the four tines go down a foot in the soil. I pull back, and it loosens the soil and lifts the roots a little. Then I am able to tug it out, roots and all. Later I will cover the beds with chopped leaves.

A buddy of mine called recently from Maine asking what to do with the leaves in their flower beds. Should he rake them out now or in the spring? I know a gardener who rakes all her leaves out onto the lawn, runs them over with the lawn mower, bags them up while nice and dry, and then stores them in the barn until spring. She cuts all her perennials down in the fall, too. Then, once the plants have all appeared in the spring, she mulches with the same leaves that were there in the fall.

That method works fine and the added organic matter from all those chopped leaves have built up her soil beautifully over the years. The chopped leaves hold in moisture and keep down weeds. But it’s a lot of work.

My approach is the Lazy-Boy way. I leave the leaves in place now — and in the spring, too, unless they are choking out small plants or covering something special. As a matter of aesthetics, if you don’t like the look of leaves, rake them up. Otherwise, leave them be and they will break down over time.

I will try to cut down most flowers before the snow flies. I leave some things with seeds for birds, sunflowers and black-eyed susans, for example. Instead of using hand pruners, I use a special serrated “root knife” that, unfortunately, is no longer commercially available.

When I lose the last of my root knives, I’ll just use a steak knife, or find another manufacturer of the root knife, which has a nice curve to it. Why a knife? Cutting down hundreds of stems is tiring on the hands if using pruners.

You could also use a string trimmer or even

a lawn mower to cut everything down. I have one long flower bed that I call my “Darwin bed.” It is full of tall flowers that can compete with the weeds, and each other. Asters, goldenrod, Joe-Pye weed, tall phlox, turtlehead and more compete for space. If a plant doesn’t survive, something else will fill up the space. In the fall I usually just run over it with my riding lawn mower, making it neat and tidy for a few minutes in the spring.

Another fall task involves improving the soil. I recently had my soil tested by Logan Labs. Their basic test gives a lot of information: pH, percentage of organic matter, mineral contents, trace mineral levels and more. As a member of the Bionutrient Food Association, I was able to get recommended levels of minerals and trace minerals for top quality production, and what (and how much) to add. Of course, each state offers soil testing through its Cooperative Extension service.

My soil is excellent but needs a little tweaking. Boron, for example, is a little low, as are my potassium levels. I will make some additions this fall so that the added minerals can be incorporated into the soil over the fall, winter and spring. Green sand, a bagged supplement, is a good source of potassium.

The key to any soil addition is to remember that if adding a little is good, adding more is NOT. Even useful additions to the soil need to be done in carefully measured quantities.

I will mix the minerals I add to the soil with a measured amount of compost, making it easier to distribute small quantities over my garden. So, for example, I need to add half a pound of calcium borate per 1,000 square feet of garden space — or about a pound for my 1,700 feet of vegetable garden. By mixing it in with compost I can distribute that better.

My blueberries, and yours, need a little agricultural sulfur added every year to keep the soil acidity good for them. Blueberries produce much better if the soil is very acidic — around 4.5 to 5.0. My recent soil test showed that in my garden beds the soil is 6.6, or just slightly acidic and perfect for vegetables. So I add sulfur each year to the blueberries to keep it acidic enough.

There is lots more to do, of course, so I’d better stop writing and head outside.

Dear Vince, The subject of the picture you sent is a sweet one. Most art that isn’t signed or attributed to a specific artist is in the eye of the beholder.

On pencil sketches such as this one, I think the value would be in the subject and how well it’s done. Not knowing how many you have, I would say that if they are all in this condition and done by the same person as well and framed they would make a nice collection. Framed and dating them, they should be in the $40 range each.

It’s tough to really put a value on this, but but quality is always quality no matter what you have, whether it’s a painting, piece of furniture, stoneware, glass, etc. Value depends on things like subject, details, color and condition.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Are smaller, more basic trucks even made anymore?

Dear Car Talk: I am getting ready for retirement and have been looking for a small utility truck for some landscaping and other projects around the house. It seems that all

By Ray Magliozzi of the car companies are competing to see who can build the biggest and baddest truck with a dashboard that looks like the cockpit of a fighter jet. Not to mention the price tag for these monsters — most of the houses I have bought and lived in over the years have cost less. Are there any companies, foreign or domestic, making a truck that will fit my needs? All I need is a truck the size of a Ford Ranger or Chevy S-10 with automatic transmission, air conditioning and an AM-FM radio with a USB port for my music. Sign me “Future old coot in a pickup.” — Gary Do you have a Mahindra dealer near you, Gary? Or is the closest one in New Delhi?

You’re right that there are no more small pickup trucks. The standard trucks, like the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado, are humongous now. And the so-called smaller trucks, like the Chevy Colorado, Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier, are simply “big.”

HIPPO | NOVEMBER 17 - 23, 2016 | PAGE 34

Of those smaller trucks, the Chevy is the most modern, the Tacoma is the most reliable and the Nissan is the most Nissany. But even those smaller trucks are going to cost you $30,000 or more for a four-wheel-drive version.

Honda has just come out with a new version of its Ridgeline pickup. It’s about the same size as the other smaller pickups, but it’s supposed to be a lot more comfortable and carlike. (I haven’t driven it yet.)

I suppose, if it’s comfortable enough for you, and your spouse will go along with your “old coot frontier gardener retired guy” fantasy, you could get a Ridgeline and use it as your everyday vehicle. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that you do that with the other trucks, because they all drive like, well, trucks.

Perhaps the best bet is to buy a used smaller pickup. After all, you really only want it for occasional use: for picking up a load of manure or a couple of 386-packs of paper towels from Costco.

Until 2011, Ford made the Ranger. That’s a little smaller than the others, and you probably can get one for half the price of a new truck. The Toyotas tend to hold their value longer, so don’t expect quite the discount on a used Tacoma. But the reason they hold their

value is because of their reliability and durability. So that’s what you’re paying for.

Almost any truck you get from the past 10 years will have an automatic transmission and air conditioning. And with all the money you save, you can splurge and get a rocking new stereo system with a USB port if you need it. And don’t forget the bed-size subwoofer.

Dear Car Talk: The under-engine cover (the tough plastic panel attached to the underside of the car behind the front bumper under the engine) on my 2005 Acura TSX recently started dragging on the ground. After sizing up the situation by the side of the road, I drove a few miles home, got under the car and gently removed (hacksawed off) the remains.

The internet seems convinced that these covers serve no great purpose, and that you can drive indefinitely without one, so long as you don’t mind increased road noise and reduced fuel economy. This seems wrong to me — auto manufacturers are infamously frugal, and they would not add a part for no reason.

How quickly does a missing under-engine cover need to be replaced? Thanks. — Alex Are they open today?

Actually, it’s hardly an emergency, Alex.

But I would recommend that you replace it.

It not only contributes to better gas mileage, but it also provides some protection from road debris.

We’ve seen instances where someone drives over a branch and the branch rips off one of their belts. That costs them $200 for the repair, plus the cost of the tow. And by the time they’re back on the road, they’ve missed their brother’s rehearsal dinner.

Or, if you drive over a sharp object, it’s possible it will puncture that piece of hard plastic, rather than puncturing your oil pan.

That’ll cost you even more, and possibly an engine if you keep driving.

And most of these engine guards don’t cost an arm and a leg — maybe just one arm, up to the elbow. I’m guessing the replacement part will cost you about $100.

We often try to reattach them when customers drive in with them dragging on the pavement. There are various places we can add new sheet-metal screws if the old ones are stripped or have been torn out.

But if we can’t save the patient, we’ll just tear off the thing, like you did. Then we’ll recommend that the customer come back and have a new one installed, but we never see them again. Until they drive over a branch.

McGahan said each contestant will be giving something to auction off during the pageant, followed by a short question-andanswer period with Sexton.

“We’re thinking that one of the questions we’d like to have [the judges] ask is how they feel they can help get the word out about the human trafficking issue,” she said. “We thought we’d also ask them what they might do to promote their title of ‘Mr. Concord’ and how they would proceed under that title … and then also just an individual question to make the audience laugh, something funny that relates to them.”

Items to be auctioned off include a gift certificate for a wine tasting at Black Bear Vineyards in Salisbury, a hotel stay at the Grappone Center, a gift certificate for skiing at Waterville Valley Resort, tickets to New Hampshire Motor Speedway events and more. McGahan said the crowning of Mr. Concord is expected to take place around or a little after 9 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased individually or in groups of up to eight per table, McGahan said.

“We welcome all businesses to buy tables for employees and if somebody wants to bring a family member who they think will enjoy it, they definitely can do so,” she said.

Eight community members from New Hampshire’s Capital City have been nominated for the title of “Mr. Concord,” but only one will receive the crown at the first annual Mr. Concord Pageant on Friday, Nov. 18.

“It should be a fun, light-hearted event for such a wonderful cause,” said Mary McGahan, president of the GFWC Concord Contemporary Club, which is presenting the pageant.

All proceeds will benefit domestic violence and human trafficking prevention programs at the Crisis Center of Central New Hampshire.

“We’re hoping that this will become our No. 1 fundraiser,” McGahan said.

The eight contestants who will take the stage at the pageant are either Concord natives or prominent and active community members. They are Timothy Sink, president of the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce; Jim Bouley, the city’s mayor; Bob Tewksbury, a Concord native and former Major League Baseball pitcher and mental skills coordinator for the Boston Red Sox; Lt. John Thomas of the Concord Police Department; Rich Spaulding, a retired New Hampshire state trooper; Tom Raffio, president and CEO of Northeast Delta Dental; Chris Brown, president and owner of the Concord-based New Hampshire Distributors; and John “Cimo” Cimikoski, owner of Cimo’s South End Deli and an ardent supporter of the Boys & Girls Club of Central New Hampshire.

Concord Monitor reporter Allie Morris, New Hampshire Republican State Committee Chairman Steve Duprey, and current Miss New Hampshire Caroline Carter will serve as the pageant’s judges.

“One of the main reasons we chose the people that we did to be the contestants is that most of them are well-known in the community and they do a lot,” McGahan said, “and I’m sure they are going to have a concern for the cause and help get the word out there [about domestic violence prevention].”

The pageant will begin with WMUR reporter Adam Sexton introducing each of the contestants and Tim Patoine of A Goodtime DJs providing background music.

“We’ll have a short information session about human trafficking prevention from the Crisis Center,” McGahan said. “There will also be a talent section in which each contestant has a funny little talent to make the audience laugh.”

KRUPNIK This deep golden liqueur carries all the robust flavor of the local honey we start with. It is artfully balanced with spices of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, fresh ginger, and vanilla, plus 40% alcohol to make an incredibly intense sipping liqueur. For a final touch, we lightly age the spirit on our oak ex-whiskey barrels.

Krupnik is traditionally served neat, however it mixes well with apple cider, and brandy.

A special tea

Tasting features organic Nepalese teas

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

The Cozy Tea Cart in Brookline is welcoming a unique guest for its next tea tasting and food pairing: Nishchal Banskota, who has been importing organic teas from his family’s tea garden and factory in Nepal and marketing them in the U.S. through his subsidiary business, Nepal Tea in New Jersey.

Banskota first came to the U.S. five years ago to attend Colby-Sawyer ColNepalese Tea Tasting and Food Pairing

Where: The Cozy Tea Cart, 104 Route 13, Brookline When: Saturday, Nov. 19, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with documentary showings every half-hour.

lege in New London. After graduating, he returned to Nepal and opened a tea bar, but after observing his family’s company more closely and working in the tea industry himself, he noticed a problem.

“All these small retail buyers who want fresh teas from tea gardens [overseas] aren’t able to get them because they have to go through big brokers and pay high costs, or they don’t want them because there’s so many steps involved that they aren’t getting fresh teas,” Banskota said.

Cutting out the middleman allows business owners like Danielle Beaudette from the Cozy Tea Cart to get unique teas that aren’t available in the U.S. “Nepalese teas are not well-known in this country because it’s so hard to get them here, but there are no other teas from anywhere in the world that taste like these teas,” Beaudette said. “That’s why they’re so sought after. The soil and the climate in that part of the world is very different, and that all plays into the flavor once the leaf is processed.”

The Cozy Tea Cart recently started carrying two Nepal Tea brand teas: Ganesha Green, a premium, medium-bodied green tea with prominent marine flavors like kelp and seaweed; and Kumari Gold, a mediumto full-bodied black tea with caramel and baked fruit flavors and a high volume of essential oils, which results in a thin layer of oil that surfaces when the tea is brewed.

Banskota will bring seven other teas to the tasting, including classic black, white, special chai blend, spiced green, spiced white, oolong and silver tip varieties, and a few of those will be featured and paired with food samples from the Cozy Tea Cart’s cafe.

“The pairings are based on the spiciness and flavor of the food, and these Nepalese teas are a little lighter in the cup, so they’ll be paired with food that isn’t too overpowering,” Beaudette said.

In addition to the tastings, there will be a documentary shown about how Banskota’s family started Kanchanjangha Tea Estate in 1984 and how it operates today.

KTE is unique in that it’s Nepal’s first certified organic tea garden and factory, and it provides free housing for the hundreds of farmers it employs full time, as well as scholarship programs for their children to receive free education.

“A cup of tea from our garden is not a typical cup of tea. I’m not trying to venture into a typical money-making business,” Banskota said. “We’re trying to create a social enterprise that helps these farmers who would otherwise be deprived of these social and economic privileges.”

Lisa Lucciano, owner of The Cake Fairy (114 Londonderry Turnpike, Hooksett, 518-8733, cakefairynh.com), started decorating cakes when she was 15 after watching her mother, who took a class on it just for fun. “I just picked up the bag of frosting one day and started making roses,” she said. When she was 16, she was asked to design the cake for the Worcester Art Museum’s bicentennial ball. When she got older, she became a dietician and worked as a manager at various food service jobs.

Six months ago she opened The Cake Fairy, which she runs with her daughter Brianna, and makes cupcakes, cakes and other pastries. The Cake Fairy won the Clash of the Cupcakes competition held at the Puritan Backroom in Manchester last month. Their winning cupcake was “The Energizer,” a mocha cupcake with fudge filling and espresso buttercream.

FOOD

FROM THE

pantry

Ideas from off the shelf

Crunchy baked ranch chicken There must be millions of recipes for chicken. Baked, fried, broiled or grilled, chicken is a versatile protein. Despite this versatility, I seem to only make the same handful of recipes with chicken every month. But since I’ve been meal planning more consistently, I’ve been trying to put together meals in which pantry ingredients play a larger role or that enable me to use some of the same ingredients throughout the week.

I found this recipe for crunchy baked ranch chicken and thought it would be great to rotate into one of my weekly dinner plans. I always have mayo in the fridge and breadcrumbs on hand, plus I make red potatoes with ranch seasoning mixed in, so I could get more than one dish out of the ingredients.

I had high hopes for this dish, but was disappointed in the final product. While it got great reviews online, the chicken lacked flavor, despite adding more ingredients than the recipe called for, but perhaps I wasn’t generous enough with the seasoning.

The mayo and ranch seasoning mix smelled great, and I thought it would add a burst of flavor to every bite, but it mostly faded into the background. The recipe did call for plain breadcrumbs, but I only had Italian seasoned ones on hand.

lot of the comments on this recipe online indicated people substituted a lot of things for the breadcrumbs, like cheerios and saltine crackers, so I felt safe with my choice to use a seasoned option.

I also seasoned the chicken beforehand with garlic salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper, but neither seemed to add much to the overall dish.

While I wasn’t thrilled with the final flavors, the recipe did result in some crunchy chicken. I think baking it on a higher heat (400 degrees) than I’d normally cook chicken contributed to the crunch. If I made this recipe again, I’d probably add more of the ranch seasoning packet (either a larger packet than what’s called for or a second, smaller packet), but maybe try mixing it into sour cream instead of mayo.

Likewise, I’d nix the cayenne pepper (the recipe didn’t call for this), and maybe add some dill, to enhance the ranch flavor.

Finally, I’d finish the chicken with some salt once it came out of the oven.

While this recipe was very easy to make, and came together quickly, I was disappointed in the flavor, and felt it didn’t live up to the great reviews it received online.

However, with a few tweaks I think it could have potential to make another appearance at my dinner table. — Lauren Mifsud Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

While I know that apple picking season is behind us, it results in a wonderful beverage that isn’t beer or wine. I am talking about cider. Cider is something I like to order when I am meeting friends for a drink and I don’t feel like having a beer, but maybe I don’t necessarily like the wine selection. Or maybe I am somewhere with great cider offerings, like Dos Amigos or New England’s Tap House Grille.

My new favorite cider is the Downeast Cider Pumpkin Blend. I had it in a can at Dos Amigos and then on draft at the Tap House with a cinnamon sugar rim, and now I am hooked. This cider is only 5 percent alcohol and combines two things I love about fall. It is a blend of pumpkin mash and apples, with some ale yeast and “seasonal chai spices,” according to the Downeast website. The only bad news is that it’s is only available seasonally, through November or so, so I need to stock up. You can get it on draft, in 12-ounce cans or in a sampler pack. (Next up is the Maple Blend with Vermont maple syrup and roasted pecans, according to the Downeast website, which is listed as available in January through March.) Oh Downeast, I heart you and your ciders, plus I like that they are from Massachusetts.

Another local cider company is Citizen Cider from Vermont. Its Unified Press cider is made from Middlebury, Vermont, apples and is its flagship product according to its website. The cider is described as off-dry, crisp, clean and refreshing. The good news here is that it is not seasonal, so you can get it year-round. They recommend trying it with pork, soft cheese, spicy food or rustic bread and butter. It is currently on tap at the Tap House.

Of course, I have to mention our own New Hampshire-based Poverty Lane Orchards and Farnum Hill Ciders, which makes a variety of products, including an extra-dry, semi-dry, Farmhouse and Dooryard ciders. Many of the products are currently the 2015 crop release. Their aim is to make ciders that are dry, sharp, fruity

6 ounces LaBelle Winery Cranberry Wine 2 ounces triple sec 1 ounce fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon sugar (or more to taste)

and bountifully aromatic, according to their website. They use a large variety of apples in their products, many whose names I have never heard of before, but that are selected based on their qualities: high tannin and high acid, or above-average sugar content, or bitter. Like wine-making, cidermaking is a science as well. You can find their ciders in New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlets and select grocery stores like Hannaford in Concord and the Concord Co-operative Market.

Finally, Hermit Woods Winery made a Hermit Hard Apple Cider this year, with a blend of heirloom apples. Proceeds from the sale of this cider were donated to the New Hampshire Humane Society, and this is something they plan to continue in the future. It was so good that they actually sold out, but I hear that they are planning to make three times as much cider next year. I will be looking forward to that, as the cider we tried at their wine club dinner was delicious.

Another side note on cider that some people will be happy to know: Cider is typically gluten-free, so if you cannot have beer, cider may be a good option. Many ciders (like Downeast) specify this right on the can.

Since Thanksgiving is arriving quickly and I am still thinking about cranberry wine as well, here is a recipe using it that is really easy to make and would be perfect for Thanksgiving Day or Night.

3-4 ice cubes Colored sugar, or LaBelle’s Cranberry Wine Infused Sugar for rimming the glasses Put all ingredients into a shaker and mix vigorously. Pour into sugar-rimmed martini glasses and garnish with lime wedges, if desired. Sip with friends and enjoy! Makes two martinis.

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Montreal indie trio rewriting the rules for ’70s/’80s sexy-soul-pop. Their vocal pallette comprises typical lateAughts 98-pound-weakling softness without relying on too much Beach Boys falsetto, not that it isn’t there from time to time, but it’s really more in line with dream-time post-disco and throwback department-store funk-pop, a fine example of the latter being the title track, which mates MGMT with Gerry Rafferty (yep, I do like pulling out that Rafferty reference, and besides, that combination is gaining steam at an alarming rate among the hipsters, who apparently believe they missed something by not being alive during the late ’70s/early ’80s, not realizing that bands like Triumph and Corey Hart were constantly on the radio). I’ve seen the adjective “timeless” applied to this material, and the 1980s-synth-blooping “Memory Loss” has the right sort of vibe for some sort of neo-Marvin Gaye mick-up, but (A) it tries too hard, and (B), it’s short on hookage. Interesting approach anyway. B- — Eric W. Saeger Lizzy Rose, Crocodile Tears (self-released)

Funnily enough I was just reading about Melanie, the quirky, mononymed 1960s songstress whom nobody had ever heard of until she suddenly found herself on the Woodstock stage on a Saturday night, 11 p.m. prime-time, in front of 100,000 fans. Compare that to this discombobulated Seattle indiepopper, who was fronting Denver band Vitamins until she was whisked away by Flaming Lips to sing on their Dark Side of the Moon tour, where she learned to make even weirder costumes than she’d had in her early days, all of which puts us at about zero on the substance scale. But her music is actually quite good, evoking a vision of Amanda Palmer’s mousy little sister, trying different things that all sound well-suited and accessible, such as warbling weirdly over acoustic piano shuffle on the title track, tabling some Beth Orton-ish freak-folk in “In Morning Sun” and garagegrunging-out a little on the solemn but comical “Walk The Walk (You’re A W****).” You ask me, she’s Generation Text’s answer to Fiona Apple.

• Pampered long-haired music-piracy narks Metallica attempt to rope in more 40something groupies with their new album Hardwired...To Self-Destruct. Ellipses were added to the album title to shock grandmothers, who will literally read it aloud as “Hardwired,” then go bake a pie, then finish reading it and screech “Wait, to self-destruct? What does this even mean?” Hee hee, remember when they put the kibosh on guitar solos, because they thought they were Boyz II Men or something, who knows why, and it sucked?

I’ll bet you there are guitar solos on this album, because after they suddenly turned into the anti-music-pirate Barney Fife patrol they realized customers were going to demand something for their hardearned money past all those lame attempts to recreate the “magic” of “Enter Sandman.” Let’s go see, on the YouTubes! OK, here’s the song called “Hardwired.” It’s fast and punky, like the $5.98 EP from back when it was cool for them to pose with their tongues out.

Haha, right there, there’s a solo, you owe me 10 bucks.

• When French electro duo Justice released their first album, you were young and didn’t care about stuff, and then you got into dubstep and forgot about them. Now that you’re old and still having mom cooking all your meals, you may be wondering what they’re doing now, like, how many albums have they released.

Well, the answer is three. These guys have managed to put out a whopping three albums of skronky wub-wub pseudo-funk since 2007, and that’s counting Woman, which is just coming out now.

The single “Randy” shows us that their sound is the same woofer-busting nonsense that gave them their 1 minute of fame, except now it sounds like they’ve ripped off Michael Jackson. Enjoy!

• Sixx: A.M. is the heavy metal band with — spoiler alert — Nikki Sixx in it. Their fast-approaching new LP Prayers for the Blessed is the “companion” record to April’s Prayers for the Damned. See what they’re doing? The album teaser sounds like your pot-smoking 15-year-old’s favorite ringtone from 2004, when Papa Roach was kind of relevant, before all the laughing and thrown shade.

• Gun-totin’ country singin’ Texas lady Miranda Lambert will release the album The Weight of These Wings, her sixth. She’s in such an old pickle at this writing, messing with poor ex Blake Shelton and his new girl, Gwen Stefani. It’s like a soap opera, except there are no Luke Spencers making it enjoyable for us, the bored voyeurs who are rooting for one blonde or the other, or just simply hoping they’ll all be abducted by aliens and put to work in the bottling plants of Jupiter. While all this is going on, there is music, from this country lady, like the title track, which starts out all blusey-grungey — wait, that’s a Ford commercial. OK, here it is. Wait, this is pretty good Americana, for someone who used to be married to Blake Shelton. There’s no singing either, about bars or guns or trucks. I rate it as Acceptable.

Creating utopia

Of This New World explores the “perfect” societies

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

It shouldn’t be surprising that Peterborough native Allegra Hyde’s debut book of short stories, Of This New World, contains tales linked by themes of utopia.

The 28-year-old author has seen so many different ways to live during her travels around the world. She’s taught in Singapore, the Bahamas and Greece, and backpacked for five months across New Zealand visiting its hippie communes. This summer, she returned to the states after a year-long stint in Bulgaria on a Fulbright teaching grant.

Traveling sates her curiosity and eagerness to explore, but for these stories, the trips acted as research.

“I’ve been really obsessed with utopian communities for a long time, so I really wanted to … see what it’s like for people living different from mainstream society,” Hyde said during a phone interview last week.

“Whenever I can, I try to explore new places. So these settings definitely show up in my stories.”

The characters within Of This New World are pursuing different versions of ideal worlds, starting with a retelling of the Garden of Eden and ending with an imagining of what it would be like if humans tried to spread out to Mars. She wrote the book over seven years, while earning her master of fine arts degree in writing at the University of Arizona (where she also met her husband, Alex McElroy, another fiction writer) and afterward.

The short story allowed Hyde to flex her muscles as a writer; she could try different voices and experiment with different styles in a very short space. She got the book deal by winning a contest with the University of Iowa Press and received the news while in Bulgaria teaching English and literature and supervising a writing club she started there.

“A short story collection is definitely harder to publish. Literary agents are always asking if you have a novel,” she said. “It was pretty surreal hearing about it while I [was] surrounded by this foreign landscape.”

Sometimes she writes while on the road, but Hyde said the good stuff usually happens after she’s had the chance to soak a place in

and reflect. She hasn’t written much about Bulgaria yet, even though she spent an entire year there, but when she does, she’ll do it the old-fashioned way.

“I write by hand, which I have discovered is actually becoming more and more uncommon. Most writers are working directly onto the computer, but I really enjoy writing things out and kind of thinking through my pen,” Hyde said.

At the time of her phone interview, Hyde was in the midst of an artist residency on a Wyoming cattle ranch, working on her first novel, which expands on the world she started on with one of the stories in her collection, “Shark Fishing.” The writing, she thinks, is going well, but sometimes it’s hard to know with a longer form.

“A novel is so huge,” Hyde said. “I try to tell myself, I’m putting hours into it, so I’m making some kind of progress. A lot of it is about trying to stay positive and enjoy the work no matter what.”

Hyde comes home this weekend to celebrate the Oct. 1 release of her book with events at a handful of her old stomping grounds, including her childhood bookstore, the Toadstool Bookshop in Peterborough. Her home state isn’t a central place in her stories, but it did have an important impact in forming her values and fascination with nature and community. As a result, both are major themes in her work.

“In Peterborough, we have so many amazing natural wonders, whether they be mountains or rivers — even our little bit of New Hampshire seacoast I think is gorgeous,” Hyde said. “I didn’t fully realize how connected I was to the natural world until I began to travel. When I was miles and miles away from New Hampshire, that’s when I realized how connected I was. … When you’re walking around Singapore in the busy traffic among skyscrapers, it’s really interesting and fascinating, but it can also make you miss the peacefulness and serenity of walking around a forest in New Hampshire.”

Commonwealth, by (Harper, 322 pages)

Ann

Patchett

In the gorgeous opening to Ann Patchett’s seventh novel, a cop named Fix opens his front door to find a man he barely knows, an assistant district attorney, standing there holding a bottle of gin.

It was the day that Fix’s second daughter had been christened, and to celebrate, the family was holding a party that was too big for the house. When Fix had complained about the guest list, his wife had invited him to pare it down. “He hadn’t looked at the list, but if she were standing at the door now he would have pointed straight ahead and said, Him.” Bert Cousins came in with his gin anyway, setting into motion an alcoholfueled, raucous party that would lead to both men getting divorced, Bert marrying Fix’s wife, and a priest abandoning his vows.

If the tale ended there, it would be an extraordinarily juicy short story, full of compelling characters doing memorable things. But the party and its repercussions become the backstory in Commonwealth as Patchett looks through a long lens at what happens to the messily entwined families over five decades.

Patchett draws heavily from her own experiences in knitting the story; her parents divorced when she was 6, her father was a police officer like Fix, and her mother, like Fix’s wife, married a man with four children, forcing her girls to deal not only with their parents’ divorce but with instant siblings they saw infrequently.

In the novel, the six children forge a bond based on shared resentment and hatred, and in one gripping episode of childhood, they leave their sleeping, neglectful parents behind and set out to walk to a lake two miles away, carrying 12 candy bars and a six-pack of Coke, along with a bottle of gin and a handgun they retrieved from Bert’s car by breaking in with a coat hanger. Helicopter parents might need a sedative to get through a couple of pages, which also involve Benadryl handed out as Tic-Tacs and a child left sleeping alone in a field.

Miraculously, the children survive that adventure, but in the future, one of them will die tragically, adding grief and guilt to the already emotionally burdened families. Meanwhile, Franny, one of Fix’s two girls, grows to be a lissome young woman who works in a bar to pay down student loans for a law degree she never got.

One night, she waits on a famous novelist and a relationship ensues, during

which the author co-opts her family’s colorful stories and turns them into his next book, his first success in 15 years, so true to real life that it makes Franny “want to retch.” After the initial rage at the book — and even more horrifyingly, a Hollywood movie — the stranger’s telling helps the families come to grips with what has happened. Thankfully, in keeping with the novel’s innate intelligence, there is no formulaic, happy-Hollywood ending.

It’s a complicated saga about complicated people, but Patchett is an immensely gifted storyteller who ensures that her readers don’t have to suffer to follow along, even as the narrative’s perspective changes frequently over five decades. She also performs the miracle of seeming neutral on the events that transpire while being blisteringly damning. “I wanted two girls. You and your sister. I wanted exactly what I had.

Other people’s children are too hard,” Franny’s mother says at one point.

Although Cousins crashing a christening party with a bottle of gin isn’t why a child died years later, the novel peels back the dysfunctional layers that a family can stack in order to hide the cavalcade of consequences that arise from a couple of bad choices. It’s an unflinching look at what children suffer in a divorce, and suggests that sometimes the most mature members of a family aren’t the grownups. That said, there are no villains here, just imperfect people, perfectly endearing. A — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Arrival (PG-13)

Amy Adams is a linguist asked to help communicate with a group of aliens who have appeared on Earth in Arrival, a chilly but slyly fun and emotional sci-fi.

Aliens arrive on Earth in vaguely eggshaped crafts that hover above 12 sites across the world. China, Russia, Sudan and other countries across the globe, including the U.S., are working together — you know, sort of — and sharing the information they get about the “shells,” as the crafts are called, in their territories. Here, the shell hovers over Montana and the military has recruited the scientists working on the problem of how to communicate with the beings who, every 18 hours, open up their ship to let in the humans. Col. Weber (Forest Whitaker) recruits Dr. Louise Banks (Adams), first trying to get her to identify some kind of an alien language via a recording but eventually bringing her out to the site. She is joined by others, including Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), a physicist. At first, they and the others across the world try all your standard sci-fi movie methods of talking to the aliens — prime numbers, math, etc. Eventually, Louise decides that the quickest road to communication might be a written language, so she and Ian attempt to teach the two aliens that show up in a kind of air-lock spaceship lobby a few basic words — human, Louise, Ian. Slowly, they learn to recognize the ink

pening to Louise that, as the movie begins, seems like one thing but turns out to be something a little weirder and more integral to the central plot. It’s a nice element that adds some emotional heft to the movie while keeping the central “solving the puzzle” action more in the intellectual, science realm. The movie doesn’t have to waste a bunch of time “humanizing” Lousie as she works on the all-encompassing alien communication question. This part of the movie is work-focused, muted in color. It gives the other thread that runs through the movie more of a punch in comparison.

Amy Adams does a good job of playing painful slog of a fall and we, as a nation, seem exhausted, I say come together, America, over some ridiculous action and extremely terrible dialogue and watch suspension-of-disbelief-requiring scenes of Tom Cruise beating up multiple baddies in this silly but enjoyable continuation of the Jack Reacher story. Cruise plays an ex-military officer who, like, hitchhikes and solves crimes because why not? C+ Keeping Up with the Joneses (PG-13) Jon Hamm, Isla Fisher.

Plus Zach Galifianakis and Gal “Wonder Woman” Gadot. A way-too-hot-forthe-suburbs couple makes neighbors Fisher and, to a lesser degree, Galifianakis suspicious in this weak comedy that could have been funnier if it had gone weirder, dumber and R-rated-ier. C

both of these parts with real humanity and with a kind of genuineness that works when you think A is true but still works later when you find out it’s really B. (It’s a hard performance to praise without spoiling.) I think it’s easy to remember her bigger, showier performances — Enchanted at the cheeriest end of the spectrum, Doubt toward the more dramatic — but Adams is really good at hitting the marks in between as well. Is there an Oscar for “Consistent Awesomeness”? I don’t think so but she would at least deserve a nomination.

Whatever you think Arrival is going in — and I think this is definitely one of those “less information the better” situations — it ultimately shows itself to be smarter than what you’d expect, a slower burn and a more affecting story for the way it unfolds.

B+ Rated PG-13 for brief strong language.

Directed by Denis Villeneuve with a screenplay by Eric Heisserer (based on a story by “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang), Arrival is an hour and 56 minutes long and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Almost Christmas (PG-13)

Adult children and all their problems return to the family home for a big dinner and lots of fighting in Almost Christmas, every familycomes-together holiday movie ever made, remade again.

*The Magnificent Seven (PG-13) Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt.

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. But if your reaction is “yee-haw!” to that description, then saddle up, because this story about seven plucky ne’erdo-wells and their attempt to bring justice/revenge to a small town is lots of fun. B+ 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 a world of supernatural-power-having children and the scary things that are hunting them but still has moments of good adventure. B

Storks (PG) Voices Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer.

Solid vocal talent does not save the all noise, no charm story of a stork and an orphan attempting to deliver a baby to her new home. C Sully (PG-13) Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart.

Capt. Sully saves the day in 200-some seconds which Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks turn into a highly watchable, tension-filled 96 minutes of movie. B+ Trolls (PG) Voices of Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake.

This light, maybe a little too light, cartoon about some cutesy trolls and the misguided goblin-y beings that want to eat them feels like mostly a music video for the KendrickTimberlake pop covers and a commercial for Trolls toys, but the story shines during some of its weirder moments. B-

Walter Meyers (Danny Glover) is facing his first Christmas without his beloved wife and possibly the last Christmas in the home they shared, as he is pretty sure he’s selling it. This probably won’t sit well with his four grown children, least of all Evan (Jessie T. Usher), his youngest, a late-inlife baby who appears to be in college and on his way to a career in the NFL. Also headed for big things is Walter’s older son, Christian (Romany Malco), who is running for Congress.

Christian, his wife Sonya (Nicole Ari Parker) and their kids (Alkoya Brunson and Marley Taylor) are headed to Walter’s, where Sonya hopes Christian will take some family time, even if he is bringing along campaign manager Brooks (John Michael Higgins). Walter’s two constantly bickering daughters, Rachel (Gabrielle Union) and Cheryl (Kimberly Elise), would probably prefer even less family time. Rachel and her teenage daughter Niya (Nadej K Bailey) are struggling as single mom Rachel works her way through law school. Cheryl is a successful dentist but she seems to be struggling in her marriage to Lonnie (J. B. Smoove), a basketball has-been who can’t seem to find his footing.

Turning up the volume on all family discussions is Aunt May (Mo’Nique), Walter’s late wife’s sister.

Everybody has their personal life baggage, the most serious of which is Evan’s, who is getting over an injury but still using painkillers. In additional to Rachel’s money woes and Cheryl’s marriage woes, Christian has campaign donor woes — Brooks wants him to accept money from a group of real estate developers whose plans would include tearing down the homeless shelter Christian’s mother devoted a lot of time to.

Which means Christian lives in the same congressional district as Walter? So why haul the family and all their stuff across town or whatever to stay with grandpa for a week? (And, yes, I did just Google the distance between Keene and Pittsburg, both in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional Dis-

trict, and it’s about three and a half hours but based on the relatively green foliage and apparent size of the town in this movie — large enough for shifty real estate types to want to build trendy upscale lofts — I’m guessing this is a place with geographically smaller districts so I stand by my nitpick.)

Because there is always, for some reason, a romantic subplot in a movie like this, Rachel warily reconnects with Malachi (Omar Epps), her shoulda-been prom date whose mom still lives in the house next to Rachel’s dad.

So, rekindled romance, big family secret (the home sale), individual adult children with secrets and difficulties, cute grandchildren, old family squabbles and the comic relief (Mo’Nique) — it is your basic sugar cookie recipe for your basic, no-frills family holiday movie. There are no twists, no big surprises, no big villains and only one scene of any real peril. Almost Christmas is highly whipped mashed potatoes with no lumps.

And I think a few lumps might have been interesting. Rachel and Cheryl get one really honest-seeming scene together, good enough that I wished I could have seen more of them doing that, relating like people with a long history but some maturity. Many of the conflicts are contrived, gently built and then allowed to quickly evaporate. Even Evan’s potential addiction feels like it would be handled and never mentioned again if this were a Very Special Episode of a Meyers Family sitcom.

Almost Christmas is all rounded edges and soft-boiled comedy, but still just racy enough that it isn’t good all-ages fare. Its best bet is as the kind of nobody-has-funbut-nobody-gets-angry entertainment that you settle on in a big family group, ages high school and up. C Rated PG-13 for suggestive material, drug content and language. Written and directed by David E. Talbert, Almost Christmas is an hour and 52 minutes long and Universal Pictures.

• Power of one: Combining technology and musicianship, Zoë Keating is a onewoman orchestra, playing cello and building layered sonicscapes with samples from a foot-controlled laptop. Critics call her music “haunting and compelling” and Keating’s DIY releases often top the iTunes charts.

She’s breaking new ground as one of classical music’s few loopers. Go Monday, Nov. 21, at 7:30 p.m. at Stockbridge Theatre, Pinkerton Academy, 5 Pinkerton St., Derry. Tickets are $10-$32 at stockbridgetheare.com.

• Friendsgiving: A veritable who’s who of the Concord music scene joined Pat & the Hats for last year’s night-before-Thanksgiving show. This time around it’s still billed as “and friends,” so expect a lot of inspired jamming and surprise guests as a good-time community vibe spreads through a packed room. It’s a homecoming of sorts for the Hats, who moved to Boston several months back.

Go Wednesday, Nov. 23, at 8 p.m. at True Brew Barista, Bicentennial Square, Concord.

Photographer adds depth to DSO show

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

Every Dark Star Orchestra concert is a trip in the wayback machine, as the band recreates a Grateful Dead show, playing a complete setlist song by song. DSO’s appearance at Concord’s Capitol Center Nov. 22 offers even more for fans of the Dead — photographer Susana Millman and Dead publicist Dennis McNally will be there to talk about Millman’s photographic memoir, Alive With The Dead: A Fly on the Wall with a Camera.

Millman and McNally were introduced by live show archivist Dick Lavata of Dick’s Picks fame; the two were nudged into romance by Jerry Garcia, who later walked Millman down the aisle at their wedding. Their short tour, which includes five dates with DSO, has been a long time coming.

“People have been joking with us for years, saying, ‘Hey, you two should take it on the road,’ so we’re finally doing that,” Millman said by phone from the couple’s Northern California home. “This is the first time I’ve done something like this; I’m a pretty reclusive person, usually hiding behind a camera.”

The 260-page photo/essay collection chronicles The Dead from the mid-80s through Garcia’s death in 1995 and beyond, to the present day of Dead & Co. It offers many intimate, behind-the-scenes views: dressing rooms, parties and weddings and stellar performance shots that illustrate Millman’s symbiotic relationship with the band.

A section titled wtf Bobby? shows Garcia’s at various times reacting to Bob Weir’s sudden guitar changes.

“Jerry had a host of body language and facial reactions to express his bemusement, amusement and amazement with Bobby,” Millman writes in one of the several essays in the book, which includes a foreword by drummer Mickey Hart and several Scrib’s Notes contributions from McNally.

The “fly on the wall” aspect is on display throughout, and Millman’s candid shots are a revelation and a reflection of her style.

Dark Star Orchestra w/ Susana Millman & Dennis McNally When: Tuesday, Nov. 22, 7 p.m.

Where: Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S. Main St., Concord Tickets: $29.50 general admission at ccanh.com ($35/day of show)

“I generally believe that unless you’re asking people to pose for you, it’s best for a photographer to be unobtrusive so you can capture what’s actually going on,” she told a writer for e-zine Grateful Web. “Gestures between the subjects, candid stuff like that without your presence interrupting that flow of events.”

Millman was a late-arriving Deadhead. Well, she saw them early, but her first show was less than inspiring.

“I’m almost embarrassed to say this, but in the interest of full disclosure I was at one of those great February 1970 Fillmore East shows, and I just didn’t get it.” she said.

But a trip to South America with a group of Deadheads changed her outlook.

“I liked [the] total improvisation; I became oriented toward that style of music and really wanted to see the Dead when I came back,” she said.

On Dec. 29, 1977, she saw them at Winterland in San Francisco.

“I would say that’s my first real show that counted,” she said.

She started working with the Dead during a time their popularity mushroomed, as the success of 1987’s In the Dark moved

the group from hockey rinks to ballparks.

For one interesting assignment, Millman photographed secret tests of a new outdoor sound and lighting system set up, with great difficulty, at a Sonoma County vineyard. At one point, an ancient live oak shuddered and split down the middle.

“Maybe the sound was too much. ...

I don’t know what caused it,” she said.

Asked to name a favorite moment of her long, strange trip with the San Francisco band, Millman SUSANA MILLMAN paused.

“There were so many, but one of them had to do with incorporating my past with the present,” she said. “Jerry and John Kahn at Lincoln Center in 1984 ... I grew up in Manhattan and Lincoln Center had such other meaning to me; here I was with my new life.”

Ultimately, taking pictures of a band that never really relished being photographed was its own reward.

“Sometimes I’d be at a show with a camera, walking to the soundboard from the pit or something,” she said. “I’m thinking, ‘Wow, is this really happening? Am I able to do this? It’s so cool.’ That happened a bunch.”

I’m a pretty reclusive person, usually hiding behind a camera.

NITE SUDOKU

Leave the Cooking to Us!

st

not that slow, bro. Once I get going, I move OK. You just need to get going.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) You have to have patience with people, bro. Trust me. I’m proof. Have patience with yourself.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) My mom used a lot of spices when she cooked, like a lot of people do in the Dominican, so that’s what I was used to eating. When I got to the States, everything tasted sweet to me. The food wasn’t as spicy and there wasn’t as much flavor. Add more spices.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) … if you don’t feel like you’re making progress, if you don’t feel like you’re getting closer, it can be really frustrating because you can feel like you’re not accomplishing anything, like you’re not succeeding. You’re probably making progress even if you aren’t aware of it.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) There’s always room to improve. That goes for you and your teammates.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) How was I going to become a better fielder if I never played the position? And how was I supposed to get better at hitting left-handers if I only played against righties? You will benefit by gaining broader experience.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Baseball is about adjustments, just like anything else, and if you keep hitting home runs and knocking in runs, people aren’t going to pitch you the same way. They’re going to change things up on you. As a hitter, you either have to change with them or they’re going to start getting you out. Worse, you start getting yourself out.

Make sure you’re not getting into a rut.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) I’ve always been able to hit a curveball, and I think one of the big reasons is because I learned how to hit a bottle cap with a broomstick when I was growing up. Those new skills you’re working on could transfer to other endeavors.

La

All quotes are from Big Papi: My Story of Big Dreams and Big Hits, by David Ortiz, born Nov. 18, 1975.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) But if you look around baseball, if you look at all the fights that happen between teams during the year, I bet you’ll find that most of them happen between teams in the same division. And they usually happen because teams are seeing each other too much, because even your family can get on your nerves if you spend too much time with them. Everybody needs to spread out a little.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) We had a lot of guys who were playing in Boston for the very first time, and some of those guys had never played in the American League before. It takes a little while to come over to a new league, like those guys did, and to learn the pitchers, make adjustments, get used to everything. Take your time and get used to a new system.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) People make fun of players saying this kind of thing sometimes, but it’s true. You can only go one at-bat at a time, one game at a time, so you can’t try to do too much. Slow down.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Sometimes it feels like you wake up, play, go to bed, and wake up again. The routine wears you down.

You hear a lot of players say sometimes that they get more tired mentally than physically, and that’s what they mean. You just don’t get any breaks. The average person doesn’t understand a lot of that because they see us play the games, but there’s a lot more to it than that. For every hour we spend on the field, we have to spend at least an hour preparing. Maybe it’s more like two hours. It’s all about the prep work.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) A lot of people see that I’m a big dude and think that I can’t run, but it’s not true. I run fine. I don’t steal bases like Jose Reyes … but I’m really

New York City officially began licensing professional fire eaters earlier this year, and classes have sprung up to teach the art so that the city’s Fire Department Explosives Unit can test for competence (if not “judgment”) and issue the “E29” certificates. In the “bad old (license-less) days,” a veteran fire eater told The New York Times in October, a “bunch of us” performed regularly for $50 a throw, largely oblivious of the dangers (though some admit that almost everyone eventually gets “badly burned”). For authenticity, the Times writer, a fire eater who dubbed herself Lady Aye, completed the licensing process herself (“as sexy as applying for a mortgage”), but declined to say whether she is awaiting bookings.

Bright ideas

• A major streetlight in the town of Pebmarsh Close, England, went out of service when a truck hit it a year ago, and despite pleas to fix it from townspeople and Essex county councillor Dave Harris no action has been taken. In October, Harris staged a “birthday party” on the site, formally inviting numerous guests, and furnishing a birthday cake to “celebrate” the “age” of the broken streetlight. (The shamed county highway office quickly promised action.)

• At a World Cup qualifier match in October in Quito, Ecuador, police arrived during the game to question star player Enner Valencia about an unpaid alimony complaint, and he saw them waiting on the sideline. Local media reported that Valencia then faked an on-field injury near the end of the match to “necessitate” being taken away by ambulance, thus outmaneuvering the police. (He settled the complaint in time for the next match.)

Are we safe?

• The security firm Trend Micro disclosed in October its “surprise” to find, in the course of a routine investigation, that firms in several crucial sectors (nuclear power, electric utilities, defense contractors, computer chip makers) send critical alert messages via old-style wireless pagers wholly unsecured against hacking. In fact, Trend Micro said the enormously popular WhatsApp message-exchange app has better security than the alert systems of nuclear power plants. (Infrastructure engineers defended the outdated technology as useful where internet access was unavailable.)

• Life Imitates Art: Security experts hired by the investment firm Muddy Waters (which is being sued for defamation by St. Jude Medical Inc. over claims that St. Jude’s cardiac implant device can be hacked) disclosed in an October court filing that they agree the devices are anon-

ymously and maliciously hackable. They found that a popular control device (Merlin@Home) could be remotely turned off, or jiggered to carry a dangerous electrical charge from up to 100 feet away. (A similar incident was part of a plot in Season 2 of the Homeland TV series, as the means by which the ailing U.S. vice president was assassinated.)

Wait, what?

New York’s prestigious Bronx High School of Science enrolls some of the “best and brightest” students in the city, some of whom (perhaps rebelling against the “nerd” label) for the last two years have held unauthorized, consensual fist fights (a “fight club”) in a field near the school, according to an October New York Daily News report.

Students at the school (which has produced eight Nobel Prize winners and eight National Medal of Science honorees) then bombarded the Daily News reporter by telephone and Facebook with acrimonious, vulgar messages for placing the school in a bad light.

Least competent criminal

Ms. Cana Greer, 29, was arrested in Sacramento, California, in October when police responded to a call to help her remove handcuffs she had accidentally engaged while fooling around with a friend. Police, routinely checking her ID, discovered an outstanding felony burglary warrant. As per procedure, officers took her to a fire station for removal of the cuffs to make room on her wrists for their own handcuffs. (2) A woman unnamed (because she has not been charged with a crime) almost produced major havoc at the Shuttle Car Wash in Titusville, Florida, in October when, while cleaning her car, she attempted to vacuum gas out of her trunk, causing the vacuum to explode.

Recurring themes

Joining some classic cases of sentencing overkill that have populated News of the Weird through the years: In October in San Marcos, Texas, jurors apparently had enough of recidivist drunk driver Jose Marin, 64, who had just racked up conviction No. 8 and so sentenced him to spend the next 99 years in prison and (perhaps Too quickly promoted Nathan Lawwill, 32, from Lansing, Mich- more horrifyingly) sober. igan, was arrested in Tunisia in October after emigrating as a recent Muslim con- The passing parade vert, speaking little Arabic, which did not The world’s first constantly flowing (and restrain him (a one-time Christian) from free!) “wine fountain” opened in Abruznow being the Islamic Messiah, the “gift to zo, Italy, in October, to help draw tourists Muslims,” “Mahdi to Muslims and Messiah and pilgrims who make the trek south from to the Jews.” “I am going to be the center of the Vatican to view the cathedral where the world very quickly,” he wrote on Face- remains of the disciple Thomas are kept. book.
