In their wisdom, the great world religions established formal rituals to carry people through important transitions in life. I wish there were one such ceremony for being a first-time grandparent. While there are many practices helping parents usher their child into society and they themselves into their new roles, there are none for grandparents exactly. And there should be, for it is a momentous experience: an experience both extremely joyful and yet somewhat unsettling.

Joyful, of course, because a next generation has begun; joyful, too, because one’s child and their spouse have brought a new life into the world; and joyful, as well, because as parents we can take some credit for having set things in motion many years before.

But I find the experience unsettling because the birth of our first grandchild, a baby boy, unlike even that of our first child, brings home the reality of longer-term legacy. I am not referring to financial or real estate heritage, but to a tradition of values, a sense of continuity with the efforts of those who came before us to bring us to this place and our responsibility now to help support this young person on his particular path.

And there is the challenge. The world into which this young child comes is so different from that into which we, or even his parents, were born. By the time he is my age, what will the world be like and what role do we as grandparents have in helping prepare him for it?

In traditional Hinduism, certain stages of life come with built-in duties. At the birth of the first grandchild, grandparents share with the parents responsibility for the young person’s education. It is more than simply setting up a college fund. It entails passing on traditions: the religious heritage, cultural history and practices, family stories, accomplishments and aspirations. And while the child will, in time, form his own tapestry of values, the grandparents will have played a distinctive role.

It is that stage that confronts me now.

Yes; there are immediate household chores to help out with, but soon there will be songs to sing, music to play, little walks to take, books to read, skills to teach, and stories to tell. One must choose wisely the things to do and the values to embody, for it is the next generation of keepers of community that one is helping to shape.

NEWS & NOTES State budget

For the first time since 1969, the New Hampshire House failed to pass its own version of a state operating budget. According to press releases, the 2018-19 budget bill that would spend $11.9 billion failed to pass the House, by a vote of 220-134, and House Bill 2, the trailer bill that provided policy language for the budget, failed by a vote of 177-169. Republican leadership attempted to pass the budget without Democratic support but a group of Republican dissenters tipped the scales. According to WMUR, the recently formed New Hampshire House Freedom Caucus, a group of hard-line Republicans who thought the budget grew state government too much, voted against the budget. Sixty-six Republicans voted against the budget bill and 32 voted against the trailer. House Speaker Shawn Jasper expressed frustration with Republican opponents after the budget’s failure, saying the budget was balanced and introduced no new taxes or fees, according to the story.

The Senate has begun crafting its version of the budget by using Gov. Chris Sununu’s budget proposal as a starting point. Traditionally, the Senate would take up the House budget as a starting point. However, Republican Sen. John Reagan, vice chair of the Senate Finance Committee, told NHPR that Senate budget writers will still use the work done by the House Finance Committee.

Town elections

The state Senate passed a bill that would ratify town elections that were rescheduled due to the nor’easter that dropped about one to two feet of snow in many parts of the state on March 14. The AP reported the Senate bill was amended to give communities the power to ratify election results after a public hearing and vote by a governing body. Senate Democratic Leader Jeff Woodburn, who sponsored the bill, said the amendment wasn’t perfect but a common-sense compromise. Woodburn urged the House to pass the bill. House Speaker Shawn Jasper proposed a plan that would allow townspeople to vote to ratify the results on May 23. About 80 communities moved

Democratic House Leader Steve Shurtleff, local developer Steve Duprey and Joan Goshgarian, executive director of the New Hampshire Business Committee for the Arts, participated in the ceremony. Goshgarian was the wife of the late commissioner of the Department of Cultural Resources Van McLeod, who championed the memorial project in his final years. He died last July at Concord Hospital. Winant was a three-term governor, a World War I pilot, the U.S. Ambassador to Britain during World War II and the first leader of the Social Security Administration.

Average gasoline prices in New Hampshire rose by 4.3 cents per gallon over the week prior, according to GasBuddy.com. That brought the average price up to $2.25 per gallon, which is higher than gas prices at this time last year and just 4 cents lower than prices in 2015. Nationally, gas prices rose by 5.7 cents to $2.39 per gallon. While the increase is largely due to seasonal changes, according to GasBuddy, oil prices surged by a dollar per barrel immediately following the launch of more than 50 Tomahawk missiles from U.S. warships to Syrian government targets on April 6.

Stuck in a part-time job?

Underemployment stats say you’re not alone

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

A new study published by the University of New Hampshire’s Carsey School of Public Policy found that the rate of people working part-time jobs (defined as 35 hours per week or less) when they’d rather be working full-time has not returned to pre-recession levels nationwide, and statistics for the Granite State show the same scenario playing out. In fact, people stuck in part-time jobs in the state outnumber unemployed workers.

Nationwide numbers

employment for women reached 8 percent in 2009, and 6.4 percent for men in 2010.

By 2015, while the unemployment rate had returned to pre-recession levels, involuntary part-time employment had not.

Before the recession, in 2006, the involuntary part-time rates were 3.6 for women and 2.4 for men. By 2015, it was still as high as 5.3 percent for women and 4.1 percent for men.

Glauber said she’s not sure if this is the new normal, but if recovery trends continue at this pace, the involuntary part-time employment rate might return to pre-recession levels by late 2018.

In the meantime, though, people are struggling.

“It’s a real economic problem for real people and their families,” Glauber said.

Glauber said part-time workers are more than five times more likely to be living in poverty.

Rebecca Glauber is an associate professor of sociology at UNH and the author of the recent study, which found that the number of so-called involuntary part-time workers rose sharply as a Local employment result of the Great Recession to a height The numbers are similar in New Hampof 9 million in 2010 shire, according to nationwide. the involuntary She wanted to part-time employinvestigate some of ment rate from the less-publicized New Hampshire measures of recovEmployment Secuery that might tell a rity for the period different story than between 2000 and the rosier unem2016. ployment rate.

While the national trend has been fewer involuntary part-time workers than unemployed workers, the last three years in New Hampshire has seen the inverse of that, meaning more people in the state were underemployed for economic reasons than were unemployed.

In 2014, the unemployment rate in the state was 4.2 percent while the rate of people stuck working part-time was 4.5 percent.

Similarly, unemployment went down

to 3.4 percent in 2015 while involuntary part-time was still at 3.8 percent.

The rates of unemployment and involuntary part-time in 2016 were both 2.8 percent, but estimates from NHES show there are about 800 more people stuck in part-time jobs than there are unemployed people.

Meanwhile, unemployed people outnumber involuntary part-time workers nationwide by 1.8 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Water lines

Two companies figuring out funding for contamination

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Textiles Coated International, currently based in Manchester, might get a state loan to fund its work on designing and installing new public water lines to homes affected by groundwater contamination from its old plant in Amherst.

Financing for TCI

Jim Martin at the Department of Environmental Services said TCI, which had not returned calls by press time, is a “perfectly healthy” company, but when it tried to ask for loans from traditional lenders, the lenders only OK’d business expansion projects.

“But they were unsuccessful in securing financing to do a remediation project for water contamination,” Martin said.

So TCI turned to the state. If the plan is approved, Martin said, this will be the first time the state has dipped into the clean water trust fund, which was established last year from an MTBE contamination settlement.

Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered ExxonMobil to pay the state $236 million plus interest for that contamination case. MTBE is

a gasoline additive that has since been banned for that use in the U.S. after numerous cases of groundwater contamination from leaky underground fuel tanks.

So far, the Senate has passed a bill funding water infrastructure projects with an amendment proposed by Senate President Chuck Morse that would allocate an additional $5 million from the state’s drinking and groundwater trust fund to DES to loan to TCI. Martin said if the measure passes, TCI will use the money to finance new water lines from Pennichuck Corp. to 100 households in Amherst, about 24 of which were tested to have well water with the perfluorochemical PFOA above the state standard. TCI will repay the loan to the state with interest in a model similar to the revolving loans the state gives to municipalities for drinking and wastewater infrastructure projects, Martin said.

The language of the amendment says DES is authorized to lend up to the $5 million amount to “any potentially responsible party.”

In a written statement released following the vote on March 30, Morse said the money would be loaned “to companies like Textiles Coated International, Inc. [TCI], who have taken full responsibility for the con-

tamination issues in the groundwater in their TCI hired an engineering firm to produce a communities and who have been working second design so Pennichuck will be able to diligently with DES to ensure local residents review a couple options when it looks to conhave access to clean drinking water.” nect the 100 homes in Amherst, Martin said.

In the meantime, Saint-Gobain has already been well underway with designing and Saint-Gobain Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics in Mer- paying for new water line installations in rimack is doing similar water line work for neighborhoods affected by its factory.

Martin said 26 homes in Manchester were the same kind of groundwater contamination already connected to Manchester Water but has not requested any state funding for it.

We have many graduates who have played central roles in the development of IP systems around the world, including early IP professionals in countries like China and in Taiwan. I hope to build on this reputation and expand it through … global outreach, our connection to alumni and through all of the interdisciplinary opportunities that intellectual property represents in a modern economy.

There’s a growing understanding that our students and our programs benefit from diverse, multidisciplinary perspectives and global experiences. … I think there’s a growing acknowledgement that practice and theory are not independent, but they’re mutually dependent.

Are there any new programs you’d like to see at UNH Law? I really believe that successful leadership can only occur with meaningful understanding of the organization and the people involved, so I think in the first hundred days of my deanship, I intend to embark on a listening tour. And during that time, I’ll gather insights, ideas and contacts from people that are connected with the school, including the faculty, staff, students, alumni and members of the broader university community.

What’s your strategy for continuing the mission of the Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership and Public Service?

My general style and approach is one that’s collaborative, and I’m interested in exploring relationships with the broader university community and drawing on the expertise of our alumni to enhance an already excellent program. But the second part of that, I think it’s important to note that the current interim dean, Jordan Budd, has done an excellent job positioning UNH for the next stage of its development. … [Now] he will be ... leading the Rudman Center to its next stage of development and I look forward to seeing all of the wonderful things he will do with that and to supporting him in his efforts. — Ryan Lessard

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Federal funds on hold

Short-term resolutions passed by Congress have delayed funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development that would go to the state’s Community Development Finance Authority, NHPR reported. The CDFA uses a combination of those federal dollars and state dollars to help finance projects like wastewater infrastructure or substance abuse recovery centers. In years past HUD has contributed about $8 million to $9 million to the program.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: The CDFA has had to decline projects such as a facility that provides resources for child victims of physical and sexual abuse in Laconia, according to NHPR.

New health rankings by county place Rockingham County in first place in New Hampshire, based on a study of overall health outcomes and other factors that circumstantially affect health by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.

Hillsborough County was in the middle of the pack — sixth place out of 10 — behind Carroll, Grafton, Merrimack and Cheshire counties. Factors negatively affecting Hillsborough’s rankings include drug-related deaths, a rise in sexually transmitted diseases and a rise in the violent crime rate.

QOL Score: 0 Comment: While there are still many unresolved health problems in southern New Hampshire, the state’s measures were mostly better than the national averages.

Nighttime paving begins on Interstate 93 South

The area from Exit 3 southbound to North Lowell Road Bridge will be re-paved during non-commuter hours Mondays and Tuesdays (7 p.m. to 5 a.m.) in the coming months; according to a story in the Eagle Tribune, the $49 million highway widening project is 45 percent finished, with completion projected for October 2019. As such, drivers traveling southbound should use extreme caution.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: In the grand scheme of things, this is, of course, a good thing — wider highways mean less traffic, which always makes QOL happy. But that’s still a year and a half away, and many commuters who work abnormal hours will need to find alternative routes.

New Hampshire’s I-93 might be seeing improvements, but New Hampshire infrastructure as a whole is not great, according to a recent 37-page report card issued by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The overall grade: C-. Engineers looked into a variety of issues in their analysis, including those involving aviation, bridges, dams, drinking water, energy, hazardous waste, ports, rail, roads, solid waste, stormwater and wastewater, which were graded on factors like funding, condition, future need and public safety. New Hampshire scored best for aviation, energy and solid waste, worst for stormwater, wastewater and ports. The aim is for the document to be a “snapshot for residents and policymakers to engage in conversation about where we are and where we want to be,” as described in the report.

NBA playoff party starts this week Fred Afshar 603.548.8989 finehomesgroupnh.com

Testimonial for Fred Afshar … “Working with Fred was an absolute pleasure! He is completely committed to his job and clients. He immediately made my husband and me feel like family. We regularly reached out to him throughout the home buying process and he not only responded quickly but made us feel as though we were his biggest and only priority. His years of experience show clearly in everything he does. He is compassionate, brilliant, and hard working. I will (and have) recommended him to any friends/ family looking to buy/sell a home.

He made this somewhat bumpy/ scary process seem easy; and for that, we are forever grateful to him and his team.

The playoff season in the world’s greatest basketball league is upon us, offering the Celtics a chance to take the next step in Danny Ainge’s reconstruction of the team. Even with the team going from 25 wins to 38, 48 and 52 or 53 (I’m writing this before their final two games) the natives are restless. They want wins in not one but two playoff series. The Celtics’ puny performance in the battle for top seed against the Cavs last week has significantly lowered expectations while amping up the frustration level at the same time.

Those feelings have been tweaked by the Boston media, who thin-skinned Donald Trump should be happy aren’t covering him, because their violent mood swings would send him around the bend. They were all in during the days leading to that Cleveland clash with talk of “how well” they were playing, and then all out immediately after the convincing beating. To me, it’s just the latest example that while most of those folks know the news of what’s happening, when it comes to seeing inside what a basketball team actually is, they’re pretty clueless.

True, they were 12-5 since March 1, including wins over Cleveland and Golden State, and winning is the big thing. But a closer look at those 17 games says they weren’t playing that great. First those wins over the Cavs and Warriors came with Kevins Love and Durant in street clothes. Plus, they gave up double-digit second-half leads in bad road loses to the Clippers, 76ers and Bucks at home, something they also did in narrow wins over the mediocre to much worse Nets, Magic, Pacers, Wizards and Suns when the defense somehow allowed 20-year-old Devin Booker to score 70 freaking points on them! They also blew a

five-point lead with 5 seconds to play vs. the Suns on the road, closed out that trip by getting croaked 119-99 by Denver and had wins over the Lakers and Knicks, who are both trying to lose to improve (or in the case of L.A., preserve) their draft position.

That means 14 of the 17 games were nothing to write home about. Then came the 114-91 debacle at the hands of the Cavs, followed by a loss to the Hawks on the road the next night.

The big problem is they cannot put anyone away when they have them on the ropes. Hence all the blown double-digit leads, which generally happen thanks to the streakiness of their three-point shooting, an inability to get to the line outside of (the good) Isaiah Thomas when things go bad and/or when they have no No. 1 scoring option on the floor when Isaiah takes a break. Plus, they’re a terrible rebounding team and the bench ain’t exactly consistent.

Now, I’m not trying to run them down.

I’m just trying to tell you what they are: a tough out, but still a few things short of being a real contender for the top prize. However, being able to win when you aren’t playing great is a good sign and so is the improved win total for a fourth year in a row, something done on the back of strong coaching and their night in and night out effort that matches any team in the league. That doesn’t mean they can’t win in the playoffs, just that they’re going to have to bring the A game to advance against everyone because everyone has the same rest, and that makes the margin of error very small.

On the good side, IT has had a sensational year while being the best fourth-quarter closer in the NBA, a year which puts him third in my MVP vote. The highlight was his 29-point fourth quarter against Miami, a feat topped in league history only by Wilt Chamberlain on the night he scored 100!

They also play as a team, pass and fight you until the final gun, which will take them a long way.

Even though I don’t know what the playoff seedings will be as I write this, they should beat anyone they get in Round 1, though if it’s Miami watch out, because that will be a tougher series than most think.

And if they don’t they’re going to hear it from the peanut gallery. But regardless of who they play, Thomas will have to shake the double teams to match what he did in the regular season.

Then would come Round 2, which I’m hoping will be Washington. First, because they’re deeper, have home court and Washington won’t be able to exploit the rebounding issues. Second, because there already is bad blood between the teams and that will make for a competitive series. It also could serve as the kickoff to a contentious little rivalry going forward, something this version of the Cs has not had, and that always makes things more fun. Finally, John Wall and Bradley Beal are good players and fun to watch. Trouble is, they probably need the first seed to make that happen.

But if they get Toronto in Round 2 (or 3) I don’t see them advancing. First, their playoff experience edge negates home court advantage. Second, DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry have had them for lunch all year when DeRozan, who didn’t play in their only loss to Boston, scored over 40 twice while Lowry had 34 in another. Plus, after already having their way with them on the boards (182-156), they got bigger at the deadline. The one thing that could mess all this up is the Cavs not shaking off whatever ails them to blow the top seed. That would probably mean Cavs-Raptors in Round 2, which could be interesting. Either way, it’ll be over after that if the Cs get that far.

Anything beyond that is house money, because with the cap space, draft position and trade assets Danny has, he can finish the rebuild this summer to put them in the mix for it all next year.

M’s playoff runs begins Friday The Big Story: It’s the opening of the ECHL’s Kelly Cup playoff run for your Manchester Monarchs. Games 1 and 2 vs the Adirondack Thunder come your way from the SNHU Arena this Friday and Saturday nights at 7 p.m. and 6 p.m. respectively. And if you want to see some playoff action you better catch the games then, as after that, the rest of the series will be played entirely in upstate New York. Which means if the series goes seven games they will have played five straight on home ice for the Thunder.

Sports Glossary Wilt’s 100-point Game: It came in Hershey, Pennsylvania, with no TV to record it for posterity. Oddities include the notoriously bad foul-shooting Wilt hitting 28 for 32 from the line and taking an astonishing 63 shots, making 36 to shoot 57 percent from the field while being covered mostly by Knicks center Darrall Imhoff. Al Attles was second high for Philly with 17, while New York had three guys score 30-plus points in Willie Naulls’ 31, Cleveland Buckner’s 33 and Richie Guerin’s 39. Wilt also had 25 rebounds, Warriors point guard Guy Rogers had 20 assists and Philly won 169-147.

Darrall Imhoff: Player with a weirder double than any player in any sport that I can come up with: He was the guy who mostly covered Wilt Chamberlain as he scored those 100 points and then ironically got traded for him with three other guys six years later the second time Wilt got traded, this time to the dastardly Lakers.

The First Time Wilt Got Traded: He went from the Warriors, after they moved to San Francisco, back to Philly after Syracuse moved there to become the 76ers. The big stiff center included this time in the deal was Connie Dierking, who starred at Cincinnati with Oscar Robertson in college and later with the Royals in the mid-’60s. Also in the deal were the guard, (not the actor) Paul Neumann and some guy named Lee Shafer.

There are few restaurant menus in New Hampshire that don’t feature the chicken tender in some way, shape or form — in fact, the Puritan Backroom’s tenders topped the “Best Menu Item” category in the Hippo’s readers’ poll this year. Those and the other nine foods featured here aren’t the only dishes that Granite Staters love, but they are ubiquitous and can be found, in their many variations, at all sorts of restaurants across the state. We talked to local foodies about why these 10 dishes are quintessential New Hampshire comfort foods and suggested a few places where you can find them. What do you think is an essential part of New Hampshire cuisine, whether comfort eats or fine dining? Let us know at food@hippopress.com.

Chicken tenders What it is: Thin strips of tenderloin chicken marinated, breaded and fried.

What makes it an essential NH food: Chicken tenders may have originated in New Hampshire; Arthur Pappas, one of the third-generation owners of the Puritan Backroom in Manchester, said the restaurant was the first to make and market chicken tenders in 1974.

“When [the owners at that time] were dealing with poultry products, they had a lot of pieces left over that they didn’t know what to do with,” Pappas said, “so they started frying them up, and that’s how they came up with the chicken tenders. We’ve been doing it now for 31 years.”

While different restaurants have different variations of chicken tenders, Pappas said it’s the comfort-food quality and the universal appeal of chicken as a meat in general that makes them such an essential dish. As for their popularity in New Hampshire and at the Puritan, where they are the most commonly ordered item on the menu by far, it may be a matter of tradition.

“People have their habits with where they eat,” Pappas said, “and because we were the first to do [chicken tenders], I HIPPO | APRIL 13 - 19, 2017 | PAGE 12

think it’s one of those things where people always go back to the original, and they keep coming back.”

Three local spots where you can get them: Puritan Backroom (245 Hooksett Road, Manchester, 669-6890, puritanbackroom.com) has fried chicken tenders and

broiled chicken tenders entrees for $13.95.

The fried tenders also come in Buffalo or spicy ($1 more) and coconut ($2 more).

Takeout options include broiled tenders for $10.50 and fried tenders with the same flavor options as the entree in small ($7.50 to $9.95), medium ($8.95 to $10.95) and large ($15.50 to $17.95) sizes. There are also fried tender plates served with fries and coleslaw, ranging from $9.75 to $11.95 The Barley House (132 N. Main St., Concord, 228-6363; 43 Lafayette Road, North Hampton, 379-9161, thebarleyhouse.com) has chicken tenders with honey mustard or house barbecue sauce for $8 and Buffalo tenders with blue cheese and celery for $10 Chicken N Chips (12 W. Hollis St., Nashua, 943-5840, chickennchips.us) has “Chick Stix” chicken tenders, offered as a five-piece ($6.99), 10-piece ($9.99), 15-piece ($14.99) and 20-piece ($18.99), and as dinners, either regular or buffalo, in small ($8.99) and large ($10.99) sizes. There are also Chick Stix family meal packs with sides for $33.99.

Shepherd’s pie What it is: A meat pie typically made with lamb or beef and a mashed-pota-

to crust, filled with vegetables like peas, carrots, corn and onions, and blended with gravy or another kind of savory sauce.

What makes it an essential NH food: Roger Soulard, owner of North Side Grille in Hudson, said the restaurant’s “Lazy Man’s Shepherd’s Pie” has always been a favorite menu item for diners.

“It’s a classic New England recipe, and I believe it’s definitely a New England thing because there are people from other areas who are like, ‘What is shepherd’s pie?’” he said. “It’s a hearty comfort food dish, and I feel like a lot of that kind of comfort food originated from the New England area.”

Since shepherd’s pie is such a traditional and popular dish in New Hampshire, many restaurants that offer it do a variation of the recipe to make it their own.

The simple composition of meat, potatoes and vegetables allows chefs to get creative with different combinations of ingredients and flavors.

“It’s a basic dish — easy to make and easy to like,” Soulard said. “It’s a good dish to make with leftovers because you can make it with many other kinds of vegetables and ingredients.”

As it is for many New Hampshire families, shepherd’s pie was a staple meal in

Soulard’s family when he was growing up, and it remains one of his favorite dishes today.

“As a kid, I always requested it for my birthday dinner. It’s not that healthy of a dish, but with the hamburger and corn and all that salt and butter, I just loved it,” he said. “It hits the spot every time.”

Three local spots where you can get it: The Wild Rover (21 Kosciuszko St., Manchester, 669-7722, wildroverpub. com) has a full-sized ($11.99) and half-

sized ($9.99) shepherd’s pie made with Guinness-braised lamb and beef, peas and carrots, topped with champ and baked golden-brown Revival Kitchen & Bar (11 Depot St., Concord, 715-5723, revivalkitchennh.com) has a shepherd’s pie made with braised local lamb, root vegetables, mashed Yukon potatoes, natural jus and crispy potatoes for $24, also offered in gluten-free North Side Grille (323 Derry Road, Hudson, 886-3663, hudsonnorthsidegrille.

What it is: The belly of a clam extracted from its shell, dipped in a milk- or eggbased batter, breaded and deep fried. They are not to be confused with fried clam strips, which are made from the foot of the clam detached from the belly.

“Most people who eat fried clams don’t like the strips because it’s not conventional; it’s not the real clam,” said Ben Workinger, owner of the Lobster Boat Restaurant Merrimack location. “But it’s an acquired taste. Many people who aren’t on board with eating the clam belly love the strips. They have a whole different flavor.”

What makes it an essential NH food: Workinger said that, along with the lobster rolls, fried clams are the best-selling menu item at the Merrimack Lobster Boat Restaurant, particularly in the summertime when the restaurant can get clams fresh off the coast several times a week.

“It just seems like the right thing to do in the summer,” he said. “There’s nothing better for a New Englander in the summer than getting a box of fried clams.”

Naturally, the popularity of fried clams stems from the abundance of clams avail-

able in the region. They thrive in cold water and are therefore more prevalent along the northern half of the Eastern Seaboard, making them a unique food for New England.

“Hundreds of years ago, catching seafood was an easy way to keep your family fed around here,” Workinger said. “Now, fried clams have been around for so long that they’re a true New England tradition.”

Three local spots where you can get it: Clam Haven (94 Rockingham Road, Derry, 434-4679, clamhaven.com) has fried

Rosanne Cote of The Brick House Drive-In Restaurant in Hooksett said the reason the term “frappe” was coined in New England may have been that many local ice cream stands and shops in the Granite State are closely knit together and have been around for generations.

“New Englanders love their ice cream,” she said. “We have a lot of places especially in the Manchester and Concord areas that make their own ice cream, and it’s just not like that anywhere else in my opinion. … My husband and I like to travel in the wintertime and we’ve noticed there aren’t as many of these kinds of ice cream shops that you see up here.”

Traditional flavors like vanilla, chocolate and coffee are often the most popular to use for blending to make frappes, Cote said, but you can make one with any flavor of ice cream.

Frappes you order at The Brick House Drive-In can be made using one to three scoops of ice cream, the same amount that comes on a cone, so there’s room for experimentation with flavor.

“Our younger customers may like to go for a moose tracks frappe or a cookie dough frappe,” she said. “You can pick any

Frappe What it is: Syrup, milk and ice cream (flavor of your choice) mixed together in a blender to make a thick drink (not to be confused with a milkshake, which contains milk and syrup only, or a thick shake, which is blended with iced milk rather than ice cream to make it thick).

flavor of ice cream we have to make one.”

Three local spots where you can get a good frappe: The Brick House Drive-In Restaurant (1391 Hooksett Road, Hooksett, 622-8091, bhrestaurant.net) offers kiddiesized frappes with one scoop of ice cream for $3.90, or large-sized frappes with three scoops of ice cream for $4.80.

Hayward’s Homemade Ice Cream (7 Daniel Webster Highway, Nashua, 8884663, haywardsicecream.com) has dozens of flavors of ice cream to choose from to mix in frappes for $6.25, or “X-thick” frappes for $7.25 that are also mixed with iced milk.

Arnie’s Place (164 Loudon Road, Concord, 228-3225, arniesplace.com) uses more than 20 homemade ice cream flavors to make two kinds of frappe options, including a “scooped” frappe for $5.25 and an “extra-thick” frappe for $5.95.

Cider donut What it is: A donut that is made with apple cider as the liquid ingredient in the batter instead of water. Cider donuts are cake donuts, which are made with baking powder and are not to be confused with raised donuts, which use yeast.

What makes it an essential NH food: According to Ron Panneton, owner of the Chichester Country Store, the Granite State has always been a hot spot for apples and apple cider, and donuts were also a popular breakfast item on logging camps, so it only seemed natural to combine the two.

“New Hampshire is historically an apple-growing region,” he said. “We basically produce more apples than we consume, and we end up shipping apples out of the state so it makes for a New Hampshire growing tradition.”

Panneton said although cider donuts are especially popular in the fall, the Chichester Country Store makes them fresh year round.

“During the apple growing season we sell [our cider donuts] to a lot of farm stands in New Hampshire from about the

end of August to November, but we have donuts here [at the store] every day of the year,” he said.

Panneton makes the donuts from scratch using homemade ingredients rather than a pre-made mix.

“You make a batch of donuts and then you get to finish them off in different ways,” he said, “so some might come honey-dip glazed, some may have a maple glaze that goes on the top that’s made with maple syrup, or even a chocolate dip that goes on the top. … You can also coat them in sugar or cinnamon, so that’s how you can go beyond with different flavors.”

Three local spots where you can get good cider donuts: Chichester Country Store (257 Main St., Chichester, 798-5081, chichestercountrystore.com) has homemade cider donuts for 99 cents each, $5.49 per half-dozen or $9.99 per dozen, with a variety of flavors that include chocolate glaze, maple glaze, cinnamon and more.

Sunnycrest Farm (59 High Range Road, Londonderry, 432-7753, sunnycrestfarmnh.com) bakes homemade cider donuts in its onsite bakery made with cider from apples grown on the farm.

Lull Farm (65 Broad St., Hollis, 4657079, livefreeandfarm.com) has fresh cider donuts available in its bakery on the farm made with homegrown apples.

Spanakopita What it is: A Greek pastry dish containing spinach, cheese and onions or scallions stuffed inside of a phyllo dough. Spanakopita is not to be confused with kreatopita, which normally contains beef or another kind of mixed meat in the dough in place of the spinach.

What makes it an essential NH food: The Granite State having a large Greek ancestral population has allowed a traditional dish like spanakopita to be introduced to new people, according to Peter Tsoupelis, owner of the Amphora Fine Greek Dining Restaurant in Derry.

“We roll [the dough] individually and cook it to order,” he said. “We make them in triangles that are about slightly under an inch long, which are good for two-bite appetizers, so people try it for the first time that way and it just kind of takes off from there, they try other new Greek dishes.”

There are several variations of spanakopita, using different kinds of bread to make the dough and different types of cheeses to stuff it with. Tsoupelis said the dish available at Amphora contains feta cheese, sauteed onions and seasoned greens, mixed together like a salad before being rolled in the phyllo.

“The cool thing about spanakopita is the original design for how it was made was meant to be a portable food suitable for travelling,” he said. “Rolling our own pastries individually and cooking them to order allows us to make regular-sized ones, which are typically 3-inch-by-3-inch triangles.”

Three local spots where you can get good spanakopita: Amphora Fine Greek Dining Restau-

rant (55 Crystal Ave., Derry, 537-0111, amphoranh.com) offers a homemade spanakopita as a hot appetizer that is cooked to order and costs $3.25. The dish is made with phyllo dough, spinach and feta cheese and serves two people.

The Gas Lighter Restaurant (204 N. Main St., Concord, 228-8854) is a family-owned restaurant offering several homemade Greek dishes, including spanakopita.

Main Street Gyro (215 Main St., Nashua, 579-0666, mainstreetgyro.com) offers a homemade spanakopita as a side dish, made to order with phyllo dough, spinach and feta cheese.

Greek pizza What it is: Mike Vagenas, a cook at Annula’s Pizza in Manchester, said Greek pizza generally has thicker crust compared to New York-style or Italian-style pizzas.

It is rolled, not hand-tossed, and is cooked until its surface is nice and crispy. According to Scott Pappas at Pappy’s Pizza in Manchester, the preparation for his Greek pizza involves a lot more prep work than traditional Italian pizza, including overnight proofing the dough and the next day, after adding the sauce and cheese, letting it sit for a few hours before cooking it in the oven at 500 degrees for nine minutes. Not all pizza places make their own dough, however.

The Greek pizza menu item, alternatively, is usually a type of pizza made with feta, spinach, black olives and tomato.

What makes it an essential NH food: Scott Pappas said Greek pizza was the most prevalent kind of pizza available in New Hampshire restaurants because of the significant Greek immigrant population that came to New England in the 20th century. Pappas said the Greek recipe used at Pappy’s is the same as the original recipe used at one of the only two Manchester pizza joints in town about 60 years

ago. Greek pizza owners had to put in long hours to prepare their cultural import for Granite Staters to consume, according to Pappas. There’s an old joke that local Greeks like to share about that. “They said that God invented pizza places to punish the Greeks,” Pappas said.

Three local spots where you can get a good Greek pizza: Pappy’s Pizza (1531 Elm St., Manchester, 623-3131, pappyspizzaonline.com) sells Greek pizza in 10-inch or 14-inch sizes or cheese and pepperoni pizza by the slice. Prices range from $6.40 to $18.95 for whole pizzas.

Tilton House of Pizza (298 Main St., Tilton, 286-7181, find them on Facebook) won the Hippo’s 2017 readers’ poll for Best Pizza, Dine-In in the Concord area.

Gianni’s Pizza Family Restaurant (19 Charron Ave., Nashua, 883-8228, giannispizza.net) sells Greek-style pizza in small and large sizes with prices ranging from $6.49 to $18.50.

What it is: French fries covered in chicken gravy and cheese curds What makes it an essential NH food: Poutine, pronounced “puts-IN” in French, is a working-class French-Canadian staple that originated in Quebec and has traveled down to New Hampshire, which has a strong French-Canadian immigrant presence.

However, poutine didn’t follow those firstgeneration mill workers on the train down.

Franco-American historian Robert Perreault says poutine is a modern invention that started showing up in the mid to late 20th century.

“It’s not something traditional,” Perreault said.

It’s exact origins are debatable, but common stories point to certain small restaurants and diners in Quebec offering fries with curds and later with gravy as well. Per-

reault heard one story, possibly apocryphal, of a Quebec restaurant chain inventing poutine to compete with the advent of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Wherever it comes from, local French-Canadians have embraced it as a cultural mainstay.

Three local spots where you can get good poutine: Chez Vachon (136 Kelley St., Manchester, 625-9660, chezvachon.com) is arguably the state capital of poutine, famous for its dish and variations with meats and vegetables. Try the Grand Poutine, with 5 pounds of poutine, for $23.99.

Kimball’s CAV’ern (351 Pembroke St., Pembroke, 485-7777, kimballscavern. com) sells a small poutine for $7.49 and a large for $9.49. Every Friday, small poutine is specially priced at $5.

Bellagio’s Pizza (150 Broad St., Nashua, 204-5510, bellagionashua.com) sells regular “Canadian poutine” at $7.99 for a small, $9.99 for a large. It also comes with steak, grilled chicken and bacon-jalepeno, each at $8.99 for a small, $10.99 for a large.

Steak bomb What it is: What makes a true steak bomb is up for debate, though most contain steak, peppers, onions, mushrooms and cheese on a sub roll. The kind of cheese (American, Swiss, provolone, cheddar) varies, and so does the bread type (sub rolls, wraps, pockets, par baked bread). Some also include mayonnaise, salami or pickles. “Almost any pizza place you go to will have its own variation,” said Courtney Dufresne, a chef at The Pizza Man in Hooksett.

What makes it an essential NH food: Nancy Stewart, owner of The Sandwich Depot, said her business sells steak bombs all day long, starting at 7 a.m., when truck drivers get off their night shifts, and ending when the shop closes, at 3:30 p.m., when the last downtown Concord workers are taking

peppers and salami and spiced with Italian seasoning, served on a roll with melted American cheese.

The Sandwich Depot (49 Hall St., Concord, 228-3393, thesandwichdepot.com) It’s made with thinly sliced lean steak with mushrooms, green peppers, onions and a choice of American, Swiss, provolone or cheddar cheese on par baked bread, toasted just before serving with all ingredients inside. Stewart said it can also be served in subs or wraps.

7 Star Pizza & Restaurant (235 Main St., Nashua, 889-8810, sevenstarpizzaandrestaurant.com) It’s made with steak, American cheese, mushrooms, onions, peppers, ham, salami and pepperoni.

their lunches. The shop is busiest during weekdays, when people are working, and that’s when the most steak bombs get sold.

She calls it a working person’s sandwich.

“I think New Hampshire is full of real people who work, and they get hungry!”

Stewart said. “People come in here with work boots, but we also have attorneys coming in. … A steak bomb is something you wouldn’t cook at home, but it’s going to sustain you for when you go back to work.”

In 2007, the New Hampshire steak bomb

also saw a great deal of press when one local shop claimed ownership and had the term “steak bomb” trademarked at the U.S. patent office, firing a letter to their nearest competitor to take “steak bomb” off its menu.

Three local spots where you can get a steak bomb: The Pizza Man (254 W. River Road, Hooksett, 626-7499, thepizzamandelivers. com) It’s made with 12 ounces of shaved steak grilled with mushrooms, onions,

What it is: A sandwich filled with lobster meat; it’s often soaked in butter or mayo and served in a steamed hot dog bun, but there are many sandwich variations. Some restaurants use additional ingredients, like diced celery, lettuce or lemon juice. They’re frequently served with chips, french fries or pickles.

What makes it an essential NH food: For one, it’s from the ocean, and because we live in a coastal state, it’s something that can be served 12 months of the year.

It’s popular even in the dead of winter, particularly among people visiting the Granite

State who want to get a taste of New England before leaving, said Ann Masterson, owner of Hooked Seafood Restaurant in Manchester.

“It’s especially popular for businessmen traveling through — they want to get their New England lobster,” Masterson said.

Their restaurant serves a variety of lobster dishes, from a boiled dinner to lobster macaroni and cheese to lobster ravioli. The lobster roll is most popular at lunchtime.

“I think it’s refreshing and light, and when you want seafood, lobster doesn’t taste fishy to me,” Masterson said. “It tastes clean.”

Three local spots where you can get a lobster roll: Hooked Seafood Restaurant (6061189, hookedonignite.com) It’s served on a toasted sub roll with lettuce, a quarter pound of fresh lobster claws and knuckles, celery, lemon, salt, pepper and a little mayonnaise, so as not to overpower the lobster flavor, Masterson said.

Surf Restaurant (207 Main St., Nashua, 595-9293, surfseafood.com) It’s a quarter pound of lobster meat warmed in drawn butter and served in a warm brioche roll with coleslaw.

Newick’s Lobster House (317 Loudon Road, Concord, 225-2424, newicks.com) It’s hand-cracked lobster meat lightly tossed in mayonnaise, available in a jumbo or an original (ciabatta) roll.

ARTS Come eat with us

ARTventures launches “Comeback Kitchen Table”

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Last Tuesday morning, Pennichuck Middle School eighth-graders gathered in the cafeteria, not to eat, but to glaze tiny fourinch tiles, which will decorate a gazebo and artfully painted table in downtown Nashua as part of a school-wide project.

“There are like 700 kids doing this — every student in the whole school,” said Belinda Bodnar, just before the glazing session, as she pulled out pages of sketches and plans of what the outdoor structures will look like when completed.

Bodnar is heading the effort with fellow Pennichuck art teacher Laura Dionne, and on this day their classrooms were filled with evidence of the kids’ hard work. There was a table with half-painted placemat settings, and on the door hung student chair designs. Their project name: “Come eat with us.”

“It’s really about raising awareness about Learn more Nu Muse Festival: Saturday, May 6; the event is a day-long music festival, but visitors will also see the roll out of the Nashua Street pianos and the Comeback Kitchen Table public art installation; for more information visit downtownnashua.org ARTventures: cityartsnashua.org/ artventures-overview/ Participating organizations and schools: Nashua High School South, Pennichuck Middle School, Nashua Alternative High School Program at Brentwood, Academy of Science and Design, 2nd Nature Academy, Nashua Area Artists Association, Picker Collaborative Artists, Nashua Public Library, Gate City Charter School of the Arts, Nashua Transit Authority, and The Revolving Museum Teen Arts Group

the importance of quality time at the kitchen table with family and friends. … We all have such busy lives that sometimes it’s hard to sit down and eat together. We’re always on the go,” Bodnar said. “It’s also about getting people in the greater community buying in and just recognizing the importance of this. We’re noticing through studies that for students who don’t have that family time, those regular dinners, it’s affecting their schoolwork. It’s affecting how they progress further in their lives.”

Theirs is one of 10 artfully decorated tables part of the Gate City’s latest public art project, “ARTventures: Comeback Kitchen Table,” conceptualized by Jerry Beck, founder of The Revolving Museum and consultant for City Arts Nashua.

More than 1,000 Nashua youth, artists and community members are participating, and all tables are slated to be completed and installed in various downtown locations by the May 6 Nu Muse Festival.

The idea stemmed from Beck’s own experience as a husband, dad and stepdad, trying to get his family to sit and eat together. Growing up, the kitchen table was the center for all his family gatherings. Only now, struggling to find this time together, has he realized the significance of this quintessential furniture piece.

“I started wondering if this was a cultural phenomenon in America. Everyone’s complaining about not being able to have authentic conversations with one another, and this is an opportunity to converse without technology,” he said. “I did a lot of research, and sure enough, there are a lot of people out there talking about how their kitchen table is becoming obsolete.”

Beck had no trouble finding tables made with high-quality wood for the project. Goodwill, the Salvation Army, Craigslist, the side of the road — they were everywhere.

“They were all over the place. My kitchen table was $1,000; you could probably get the same table now for free,” Beck said.

It’s Beck’s second year working with ARTventures in Nashua; past public art projects involved kinetic downtown sculptures and a totem pole decorated with poems

by Elm Street Middle School students. He reached out to new schools, teachers and artists this time around.

Rachel Gualco, a graphic artist at the Nashua Public Library, said the students from Gate City Charter School for the Arts were all over this endeavor. Their table is made from 500 donated library books with a cooking theme.

She hoped to have everything done before April vacation week, in time for the grand opening of the library’s new wing.

The Pennichuck art teachers said they saw exuberant enthusiasm among their stu-

dents as well.

“We could have chosen to do this project with just our art classes, but we’ve decided it’s so important to raise awareness in the entire school,” Bodnar said.

Pennichuck Middle School’s table will be located by the clock towers, where it will stand for three months before being transported back to the school to become a permanent outdoor classroom space. Eighthgraders said during interviews that morning that they thought it was cool to be working with so many people on this project. The message hit home for Julia Simon’s family.

“At dinner, you should be talking. You should be spending time with your family,” Simon said. “I told my mom about it, and she thought it was cool because we don’t always make it to the table while we’re eating. It kind of brought us back.”

While growing up in the early ’80s, Palace Theatre Artistic Director Carl Rajotte’s older brothers often made fun of him for taking up dance — until they needed new moves for Saturday night.

“I’m not old enough to have been in my heyday in the ’70s, but I was training in the very early ’80s with teachers who had a ’70s style,” said Rajotte, who was the youngest boy of 13 siblings. “[My brothers] spent the week waiting for the weekend to go to the disco or the roller rink. … They would make fun of me, but then they would pull me into their rooms and say, ‘Give me a couple of steps.’ … They made up dances during the week in their rooms so they could do it on the floors of the clubs.”

So teaching in these styles isn’t that much of a stretch for Rajotte, who’s readying for the Palace’s next mainstage show, Saturday Night Fever, which runs April 14 through May 6. He’s able to pull out those ’70s and ’80s moves at any moment.

For his actors, it’s a different story. Contemporary dancers typically take up small, contained spaces. In the ’70s, you wanted to be big.

“And I think that’s why you see the iconic pose of Travolta pointing up to the sky,” Rajotte said. “They did what they had to do during the week. But then it was about clearing the dance floor. Do you have the steps for people to back up and watch you?”

Saturday Night Fever is a musical based on the 1977 film starring John Travolta, following a 19-year-old Italian American from Brooklyn named Tony Manero who finds an escape from his dead-end paint store job dancing at the local discotheque. It features tunes by the Bee Gees and remains fairly true to the original story, but with darker plot line elements — like drug use, violence, rape — omitted.

“It’s about a 19-year-old being stuck in his environment, and he doesn’t know any other way out. He longs to do more with his life than sit around,” Rajotte said.

The film is based on the 1976 New York Magazine story by Nik Cohn, who later acknowledged he made it all up, 20 years after the fact. Regardless, the Library of Congress

deemed the movie culturally and historically significant, selecting it for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2010.

Rajotte designed the show to resemble the iconic flick, from costumes and sets to casting decisions. Because how could you do Saturday Night Fever without that iconic white suit, or without a lead who can bring the charm like John Travolta?

“I think it would be wrong of us to try to start from scratch with these characters. I think everybody knows John Travolta did this role,” said Rajotte, who hired Jared Troilo for the the part, known to Palace audiences as Joseph from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Tony from West Side Story and Danny Zuko from Grease.

Wigs will be big with curls and feathered hair, and the stage will be lit with neon and intelligent lighting, plus 15 on-stage disco balls. Instead of a light-up dance floor, there will be a light-up back wall, visible to audiences in the balcony and the front row.

Five actors — Katie LaDuca, Anna Baker, JJ Butler, Banji Aborisade and Kitty Brown — come to the Palace straight from the Saturday Night Fever national tour, and a couple are Palace regulars, including Cathy McKay, a New Hampshire resident who plays Flo, Tony’s mother.

McKay was a teenager during the release of Saturday Night Fever and remembers the impact it had at the time, musically and culturally.

“Everybody who grew up in that era remembers this music,” said McKay, who did some of her own disco dancing while at Keene State College, the thing to do for teens and 20-somethings at the time. “Everybody went, and everybody danced.”

Making history

Lectures examine NH’s role in the Great War

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

World War I began in 1914, but it would be three more years before the United States entered — with New Hampshire making several contributions you probably didn’t learn about in history class.

As a way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the nation’s involvement in the war, the New Hampshire Historical Society is shaping its annual spring lecture series around the topic, specifically examining the Granite State’s involvement. Events for the “New Hampshire and the Great War” series will be held every Thursday at 6 p.m., from April 13 through May 11, and are open to the public.

Registrations are available collectively for the full series, but Elizabeth Dubrulle, director of education and public programs at the Society, said signups will continue to be available through the day of the last lecture if you can’t make all of them. “[The lectures] are for general audiences, so there is no prerequisite or assigned reading or anything like that,” she said.

“Each one can also kind of be its own event too, so you can easily jump into one lecture and miss another and not lose the thread at all.”

Dubrulle added that the series also kicks off the beginning of several other events and commemorations that will be promoted throughout each lecture, including a special issue of the Society’s publication Historical New Hampshire in the fall, and a World War I exhibit opening at the museum in November, among other public tours and lectures.

Local historian and former journalist Byron Champlin will present at the first lecture. He will tell the story of how several men from Concord played a major role in the United States’ expansion in air service during the war. Champlin appeared at a similar program in December at the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire and is working on a book about the subject.

The series continues on April 20 with an appearance by Saint Anselm College history professor Hugh Dubrulle, who will talk about New Hampshire residents who were members of the 26th Infantry “Yankee” Division.

Society library director Sarah Galligan will appear at the lecture on April 27.

Dubrulle said Galligan will tell the story of singer Carolyn Gardner Bartlett of Warner, who became one of the first American

women in Europe during the war. “[Bartlett] was actually a singer in England when the war broke out,” Dubrulle said, “and she reinvented herself as a nun named Sister Beatrice. … She started setting up field hospitals and became a kind of humanitarian [during the war]. … She was even once accused of being a spy.”

Champlin will return for the lecture on May 4 and will examine the life of John G. Winant and his role in the war prior to becoming the state’s 60th governor.

The final lecture, on May 11, features MIT history professor Christopher Capozzola and will cover the role of Uncle Sam during the time of the war, how he was perceived by the public and how they responded.

“There are all these kinds of funky connections [the war] had to New Hampshire that maybe you didn’t have time to learn in school but are fun to learn now,” Dubrulle said. “Each one is also going to have a question-and-answer session afterward.”

Mud season for many gardeners is bleak.

Raw days of gray and rain mean it’s not fun to spend time outdoors, so we wither on the vine. Thankfully, I start lots of seedlings indoors, and early April is the right time to start most vegetables and flowers. But even that doesn’t keep me very busy and I tend to get squirrelly.

I recently went outside to harvest materials for making a spring wreath, and then made one on the kitchen counter. It perked up my spirits considerably, so I am sharing my technique here along with some tips about growing what you need for making spring wreaths in years to come.

Here is what you need: several lengths of freshly cut grape vines, each piece 5 to 15 feet long and a quarter to a half an inch in diameter; 25 stems of pussywillows, 25 stems of red-twigged dogwood, and a dozen or so stems of alder with fresh catkins.

The stems are all found in moist places alongside the road, or at the edge of a stream or swamp.

Wild grapes are a pest vine for many of us, climbing up trees and strangling them, so pulling some down and using them for a wreath is a good thing to do. Of course this is the time to prune eating and wine grapes, and you may be able to gather enough vines on your domestic plants to make a wreath base.

I went to the woods and cut a 15-foot length of grapevine that was about as thick around as my ring finger. It is important to use living, not dead, vines; the one I cut was a greenish white inside and flexible, so I knew it was alive when I cut it. Dead vines are brittle and not suitable.

To make the wreath, form a vine circle 14 to 16 inches in diameter by overlapping (or twisting) one half of the vine over the other half — the same way you would start to tie your shoelaces. Then grasp one of the loose ends and weave it around the vine circle in loops, over and under, pulling it tight as you go. After each piece of vine is in place squeeze the circle to make it regular in shape.

When you run out of vine, tuck the end into the circle and repeat the maneuver with the other end of the vine. Then use shorter, thinner pieces of vine — say, 6 to 8 feet long and pencil-thick — and weave them around the wreath base until you have a circle 2 inches or more thick. It’s hard to make a nice round circle of vine, and mine was a little lopsided.

The great thing about this grapevine wreath is that you can just slide stems of

Courtesy photo.

pussywillows in between the vines and natural tension will hold them in place. In fact, I had to use a screwdriver to lift the vines at times in order to slide the stems in place.

I went around first with pussywillow stems, poking them into the grape vine base every 4 inches or so. Then I added stems of alders with their nice catkins, and finally I slid in clusters of the red-twigged dogwoods. I hung the wreath up where I could work on it and was better able to see where there were spaces that needed twigs, and added a few more.

A few notes on growing these plants.

Pussywillows love to grow in wet places and require no care. You can start them as soon as the ground thaws and the bushes leaf out. Just cut 12-inch branches, strip off the leaves, and push them 8 inches into the soil.

They will root where there are leaf nodes.

In addition to growing in the wild, redtwigged dogwood is a nice landscape plant available at any garden center. Stems can grow up to 3 feet in a year, and some gardeners cut the plant right to the ground each spring (once it is a few years old and has well established root systems.) They do that as the stems are most brilliantly colored in their first year of growth. Or you can remove a third of the stems each year, which is what I do.

Alders? They grow wild by my stream and I have to admit I have never seen plants for sale. They are messy plants that tend to flop over and root in. But they are nitrogenfixing shrubs that will improve the soil in wastelands or alongside the road. I imagine you can root them in the spring just like willows. But they’re not for urban gardeners or small lots.

My wreath is not a professional job, but it pleases me every time I see it. That’s important in mud season. And after I made mine, we got another foot of snow! March went out like a lion here where I live.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, I just started collecting bears and couldn’t resist this tiny one. I am trying to find out any information and possibly a value. It is 2½ inches long and has moveable arms, legs and head. Not sure if the felt pieces were added. Any help would be appreciated.

Debbie from Salem Dear Debbie, How cute! When I first saw the photo I thought it might be a compact bear that comes apart to reveal a compact inside the body and a tiny lipstick in the neck. But yours is just a bit smaller than one of those.

Yours is a Schuco, though, same company that made the compact bear. Schuco made lots of mechanical toys, bears, etc.

Your bear is from the 1920s or 1930s.

You picked a sweet item to collect. No two bears seems alike and each has its own expression from time, use, love and wear.

Your little one is a treasure to find in such good condition. Not knowing what your cost was at purchasing time, I’m happy to tell you that if you keep it in the condition you bought it in, you have a $200 to $300 bear (and it could go up in value).

Bears like this one you can consid-

er an investment. There may be others to find, but as always age, rarity and condition set the market value. I am impressed every time I see any antique bears in good condition.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Doesn’t anyone make a non-slanted windshield anymore?

Dear Car Talk: Can you tell me where I could find a comparison between the slant of the windshield and the mileage achieved by the car? For 21 years, we drove a ‘91 Mercury

By Ray Magliozzi Tracer with a moderately slanted windshield. The car averaged over 30 mpg all but two of the years we owned it.

We traded it in for a 2010 Hyundai Elantra.

The slanting windshield is full of reflections of the dashboard and inside of the car and the posts obstruct my vision. Looking at other cars, I see that the general trend is more and more slant to the windshields. Is there some justification for this? The Hyundai doesn’t seem to do as well with mileage. — Jean The 2010 Hyundai’s mileage is nearly 20 percent better than the ‘91 Mercury Tracer’s.

While EPA ratings are better for comparison purposes than for predicting real-world mileage, the ‘91 Tracer was rated at around 25 mpg in combined highway and city driving. And the 2010 Elantra is rated at 29 mpg combined. In addition to better mileage, the Hyundai also carries a lot more safety equipment, with a bunch of air bags, antilock brakes and a better-protected passenger

compartment. Unfortunately, that improved mileage, despite the added weight, is partly due to those darned slanted windshields.

You’re right that windshields are more severely angled now than they used to be.

That’s because they make cars far more aerodynamic. The less wind-resistant a car is, the higher its mileage.

Driving with a windshield that’s straight up and down is like trying to walk into a strong wind with a big pizza box taped to your chest. But you’re absolutely right that there also are drawbacks to steeply angled windshields. One is that they really do tend to pick up reflections. If you leave anything on your dashboard, like a parking stub, you’ll see it reflected right in front of your eyes on the windshield.

And some dashboards, especially if they’re anything other than flat black, reflect in the windshield. It can be very distracting.

And, as you mention, the longer A pillars (the front roof supports on the sides of the windshield) can block your visibility.

If your blood boils every time you get into the Elantra, sell it and get something you like better. Mileage has continued to improve since 2010, so you should do even better in that regard. The 2017 Elantra, for example, gets 33 mpg overall, although I’m guessing

that won’t be on your shopping list.

When you do test-drive new cars, you’ll go in knowing what you dislike about your current car. So look for reflections on the windshields of the cars you try out, and see how badly the A pillars block your view.

Unfortunately, most cars will have angled windshields these days. It’s really hard to find a flat windshield anymore. Unless you buy a Jeep Wrangler, which will make you pine for your 2010 Elantra, Jean. Good luck.

Dear Car Talk: I drive a 2006 Toyota RAV4. A few months ago, I got new tires. The low-tire-pressure indicator light has been on almost constantly since the new tires were put on. I have been back to the tire shop countless times for them to turn off the indicator light. The guys tell me there’s nothing wrong with the tires. They also check the tire pressures and say they’re fine. The light stays off until I get on a freeway, then on it goes again, and back to the shop I go. I do know that one of the tire sensors had to be replaced on one of the rear tires when the new tires were put on. What can I do to fix this? — Patsy One of your tire-pressure sensors is bad, Patsy. Each tire’s pressure sensor is housed in the valve stem. A few minutes after you start

up the car, each one communicates, wirelessly, with the car’s computer.

If the pressure is low, the computer makes the dashboard light go on. Or, if one of the sensors does not communicate at all, that also makes the light go on. Since your tires’ pressure is fine, I’m guessing one of the sensors is not working at all. It could be that they replaced your pressure sensor with a nonfactory sensor that just doesn’t communicate with your car’s computer.

Or, if they damaged one of the sensors when they changed the tires, they easily could have damaged another one (or more than one) and not known about it at the time.

But you’d think these guys at Einstein Tires would have figured it out by now. If you’re still on speaking terms with them, go back and ask them to scan your computer and find out exactly which sensor is not working.

If it’s the same one they replaced, ask them to replace it again, this time with a Toyota sensor. You can pay the difference in the cost of the part, and they can eat the labor.

Or, if it’s a different sensor, you can have them replace that broken sensor, and see if you can guilt them into giving you a break, because they probably damaged it when changing the tire.

FOOD Starting small

New nano brewery opens in Manchester mills

By Angie Sykeny

News from the local food scene

asykeny@hippopress.com

By Angie Sykeny

After more than 20 years of homebrewing and exploring the New Hampshire craft beer scene, married couple Andrew and Kerry Freisinger decided it was time to start a brewery of their own.

Last week, they held the grand opening for their new brewery Aigean Ales in Manchester.

“It’s always been fun for us to do the New Hampshire Beer Trail and check out new breweries, and it’s exciting to go back later and see how they progress over time,” Andrew Freisinger said. “So we thought we’d try to give that same experience to other people.”

Aigean Ales — Aigean meaning “ocean” in Gaelic — is a two-barrel nano brewery with a tasting room and four taps. Those taps are currently filled with the brewery’s first four beers, including a New England-style, low-alcohol session IPA that’s more sweet than bitter; a Scotch ale; a hybrid Belgian-English bitter; and an alternative grain beer.

“It’s a light beer like a Budweiser, only with a heartier taste to it,” Freisinger said of the latter. “It has more sweetness than the typical light American beer.”

There are two additional beers in the fermenting process, one of which is a hefeweizen. The other is a surprise.

The concept behind Aigean Ales, Fre-

The Gale Motor Co. Pitstop, located at Mel’s Funway Park (454 Charles Bancroft Highway), offers snacks like Cuban egg rolls and truffled tater tots; sliders, tacos, burgers, fried potatoes, pizza, salads, meat entrees like braised short rib and steak tips; and pasta dishes like shrimp fra diavlo and linguini carbonara.

• Cream soda sips: A&E Coffee & Tea (135 Route 101A, Amherst; 1000 Elm St, Manchester, 578-3338, aeroastery.com) has introduced two new featured drinks for the month of April inspired by cream soda. The Very Berry Cream Soda is a twist on A&E’s popular Espresso Cream Soda and is made with organic very berry tea, cream, seltzer and house-made vanilla simple syrup and is garnished with fruit. The Spring Break Latte is made with orange zest-infused almond coconut, espresso and house-made vanilla simple syrup and can be served hot or iced. “These are a continuation of our craft approach to drinks in our cafes,” A&E owner Emeran Langmaid said in a press release. “We are constantly striving to come up with creative ways to make drinks using real, natural ingredients. Certainly as the craft cocktail has become popular, craft lattes and au laits are following suit.”

The brewery is located on the second floor of the Waumbec Mills on Commercial Street, overlooking the Merrimack River. It joins two other riverfront mill breweries: Stark Brewing Co. down the street, and Stark’s subsidiary brewery Swift Current Brewing Co., which is also housed in the Waumbec Mills.

“We’ve met a lot ANDREW FREISINGER of other brewers in Manchester. … They really come together to help and foster each other. It’s like, ‘We’re all in this together,’” Freisinger said. “We’re really excited to be a part of that local beer community.”

We feel like some of the best beers out there are the ones that are totally different and haven’t been experienced yet.

“We feel like some of the best beers out there are the ones that are totally different and haven’t been experienced yet,” he said. “Since we only do two barrels at a time, we can try things that breweries with 20-barrel systems are afraid to do because that’s a lot of beer to dump if it’s not successful.”

Because it brews in such small batches, Aigean Ales will not be offering its beers at local restaurants or bottle shops at this time. The beers will be available in the tast-

Comparing cabernets

Series explores differences in wines of a single style

Courtesy photo.

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

If you’ve ever wondered what distinguishes one wine from another of the same style, you’ll have an opportunity to find out with the new wine comparing series at Cask & Vine in Derry.

The series kicks off with the “Hail Me a Cab” event on Thursday, April 20, which will compare six cabernet sauvignon wines from three different brokers, ranging from $8 to $30 a glass.

“Not every $30 glass of wine is going to taste like it’s $30, and not every $8 one is going to taste like it’s $8,” Cask & Vine owner Andy Day said. “The best thing to do is to try different wines and see what you like.”

Participants will do a blind tasting with 2-ounce pours of each wine, then rate the wines and vote on their favorites. The wine brand representatives will also be present to discuss the wines and the regions where they’re produced. At the end of the tasting, the wines and their prices will be revealed.

“By not telling everyone what the wines are before they taste them, it lets people be completely unbiased,” Day said. “You won’t just say you like a wine because you know it costs $30. You’ll say you like it because you like the taste.”

Three of the featured wines — Clayhouse Cabernet Sauvignon, True Myth Cabernet Sauvignon and Vinum Cellars “The Insider” Cabernet Sauvignon — are wines currently on tap at Cask & Vine. The other three — Kendall Jackson Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Reserve, Stonestreet Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley and Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon Napa — are wines that Cask & Vine is interest-

ed in adding to their taps, depending on the outcome of the tasting.

“It gives people who will come back and enjoy wines with us in the future a little stake in what we have on tap,” Day said. “Most of the time, my wife and I taste through wines and choose what makes sense to us, so we’re very excited to see what people enjoy most, and to directly involve them in the process.”

Cask & Vine plans to host wine comparing events quarterly and feature different styles such as chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and exotic ones like Portuguese and Austrian wines.

The series not only gives people a chance to learn about comparing wines and talk with wine reps, but it also allows them to try wines that are new to them, including high-end wines, before they commit to purchasing a whole bottle.

“People have a lot of hesitation [about buying new wines], and there aren’t many opportunities to taste through different wines like this for a low cost,” Day said.

“We’ll be pouring some really nice stuff, so I’m hoping people will use the opportunity to be adventurous.”

Bottles of the featured wines will be available at New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet stores and at some local bottle shops, including Lazy Dog Beer Shoppe in Londonderry. Cask & Vine will announce it on social media if they decide to add any of the wines to their taps.

You can create the baked potato of your dreams at the third annual Baked Potatofest hosted by the Breakfast Exchange Club of Nashua on Thursday, April 20, at the Nashua Senior Activity Center.

The fundraiser, which will support programs for Nashua-area seniors, will feature baked potatoes with a variety of toppings, plus beverages and a special dessert.

“I think potatoes are a staple of everyone’s diet,” Beth Todgham, club president, said. “With all the different toppings, you can make a real meal out of it, and you can make it personal with the toppings you like.”

Each attendee will be provided one baked potato that they can bring up to the volunteer potato-assemblers and have it loaded with the toppings of their choosing.

This year’s Potatofest will feature seven options; broccoli, chili, cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, green onions and black olives.

You can sit at one of the tables in the dining area and eat your baked potato

“The idea is that you can come and chat with family and neighbors and get to know each other better,” she said. “That’s one of the nicest things about the event. It’s very casual and fun to socialize.”

Additionally, the event will feature a door prize drawing and a white elephant raffle for new and gently used household items and gifts, with tickets at $5 for a set of 25.

WITH KEITH SARASIN Keith Sarasin didn’t always want to be a chef. His food career started when he was a teenager and his friend convinced him to take a job in a kitchen where they could work together. Over the years, Sarasin progressed to higher positions in the restaurant business and slowly started to develop a love for cooking. While working as a sous chef, he noticed there was a disconnect between local chefs and local farms. “I wanted to understand why we weren’t sourcing locally when there was a farm right down the road,” Sarasin said. In 2012, he started his business The Farmers Dinner, a series of farm-to-table dinners crafted by local chefs using locally sourced ingredients. The next Farmers Dinner event, A Taste of Spring, takes place Sunday, April 30, with dishes highlighting spring ingredients, prepared

by Sarasin and chef Lee Frank of Otis Restaurant in Exeter. Visit thefarmersdinner. com for more information.

FOOD

perishables Tasty food from fresh ingredients

Egg sandwiches I have a newfound love for eggs. Before this year I only thought about eating eggs for breakfast and now I’m like feed me them all the time. My favorite way to eat egg is, hands down, in an egg sandwich.

Justina Huddleston from The Menuism Blog says that egg sandwiches first came on the scene as a staple of Industrial-age workers of the late 19th century. Their graband-go appeal coupled with their hardiness made them a favorite with men at work.

The sandwich made it across the pond and into the McDonald’s breakfast menu and the rest is history.

Before you go making a trip to McDonald’s for an Egg McMuffin, I implore you to make your own. For one, you can pick up

pastured eggs from your local farm that contain three to six times more vitamin D than regular eggs, according to a study done by Mother Earth News Network. For another, you can play around with variations and never get bored. Lastly, they don’t take that long to make! Just make sure you’ve got a good nonstick pan, a couple fun add-ons and a toaster. Voila! Amazing egg sandwich made.

I’ve rounded up a few of my personal favorite egg sandwich combinations. While you could go with cheddar, egg, bacon and an English muffin, why would you when there is so much else out there? Get cooking at home. You’ll save money and calories and you’ll make your taste buds happy.

Sample Tasting Every Saturday & Sunday

Until recently, all I knew about tequila was that it was made from the agave plant, used in margaritas and very dangerous as shots. But then I attended a spirit seminar with Kevin Vanegas of Herradura and learned that it is much, much more.

Vanegas was in New Hampshire to promote the purchase of barrel-aged tequilas by the New Hampshire Liquor Commission and help consumers learn more about the product. Chris Spake of Patrón also hosted a similar event that week. The seminars were held in the New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet #50 in Nashua, which has a learning center in the back.

Tequila has a long history in Mexico and has evolved over the years, growing to 156 distilleries and more than 1,300 brands in 2015. Vanegas said it is the most regulated spirit in the world, bottled at no less than 80 proof.

Before we tasted the Herradura tequila, Vanegas talked about the brand’s roots dating back to 1870 when the hacienda had its own stables, crops, church and houses. The brand is named after a horseshoe, since one was found at the site.

Today the tequila is made at the same hacienda site. Though there have been changes in technology over the years, the location has not changed much and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Herradura has Mexico’s first and only female master distiller, Maria Teresa Lara. Vanegas called her his mentor and talked about her contributions to the industry, including a water filtration system. He noted that the Herradura site uses a unique and rare naturally occurring yeast to make tequila.

There are several styles of tequila on the market today, including blanco (“silver”), joven (“gold,” or blended), reposado (“rested,” meaning aged at least two months), añejo (“aged,” which means aged at least one year), and extra añejo (“extra aged,” which means aged a minimum of three years).

While I had never been to a tequila tasting before, it turns out it is very similar to a wine tasting. We tried three Herradura tequilas: silver, reposado and añejo. The silver is the “cleanest” tequila and must be bottled within 60 days. Just smelling this tequila made me want a margarita, and not one filled with sugary sour mix, but one with fresh lime juice.

The double reposado was my favorite and probably something I could sip if it was slightly chilled. This tequila is aged

11 months in used oak barrels and finished in a single new oak barrel for one month. I never thought I would get vanilla, oak, cinnamon and citrus from tequila, but I have never really stopped to examine it like that before. I have a new appreciation for it now. The oak barrels give the tequila these qualities and are key in this process.

When I asked Vanegas if it is wrong to just mix tequila in margaritas, he noted that the ingredients make all the difference.

“Good ingredients make good cocktails,” he said. “I taste the tequila to know where I am going in my journey and then let it take me from there.”

He shared several recipes with the group and noted they are available on the Herradura website.

If you are interested in getting this tequila for yourself, the good news is that thousands of bottles of barrel-aged tequila will be available in New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets. The New Hampshire Liquor Commission purchased nine barrels from three of Mexico’s top distilleries: Herradura, Patrón and Casa Noble. This purchase is similar to other single-barrel purchases made in the past that included Knob Creek and Jack Daniel’s. Like those spirits, these tequilas are unique and vary in flavor profile, aging process and proof.

While we tasted the tequila from the Herradura Barrel No. 1224, there are eight other barrels available with tasting notes available for each, including Barrel No. 114, which is “not for the faint of heart.”

This Patrón barrel is aged for 31 months in used American oak and has a big, long finish of smoky spice and agave. The best part about these is that they are not available anywhere else. If you are a big tequila fan or collector, or just want to have a unique spirit on your shelf, this is the best way to do it.

ly Sennott at ksennott@

The first thing you run into when Googling this 41-year-old Seattle DIY machine is a link you can follow to book him to play in your own living room. Selfsustaining artists are a special breed, well worth encouraging if their output warrants it, and to tell you the truth, it’s getting rarer for us critics to get things in our feeds that weren’t Kickstarted or whatnot. Guys like this keep going, paying their bills on their own terms somehow, even in an era of completely rampant piracy. Care is Bazan’s third LP in 10 months, if that makes the task facing do-it-yourselfers any clearer, even if the goal here isn’t just to feed his wife and kid but to progress even further from the Spoon-meets-Dylan vibe Bazan cobbled together for his first solo LP in 2011 (unless you count his prior records with Pedro the Lion, which were his doing as well). This one’s title track does show progress from his last two, if not in a technical sense; it’s a contentedly morose futurepop ballad, bloopy synths lazing underneath Bazan’s self-doubting tenor (which sounds like Chris Martin, while we’re at it). Other things shoot for the same sound but with dance grooves or 1980s synth-pop, with decent enough results. You could put this on a mix with VNV Nation and Eels, if that makes sense. B+ — Eric W.

Man, I vaguely, barely remember the album these reworks came from, 2006’s Citizen X. It was bare-knuckle indie rawk that crossbred ELO with Black Keys, a just-barely underproduced set of songs that came off as underground only out of the zeitgeist’s necessity — add a few more vocal layers and an analog horn section and it would have been a 1970s Top 40 slam-dunk, but left as it was, it dripped ratty record store chic. But to the elephant in the room: Why rework five songs that are over 10 years old? Well, lyrically, they’re pertinent to now, echoes of a time when progressives, liberals and half-educated cube-droids were beginning to feel like they were living in a corporate-political complex with no escape — it’s quaint now, looking back. So, toward that, has this hipster actually upfitted these old things? Well, not so much. “Dancing with the Fuhrer” retains its original Ramones/ Cheap Trick feel, but actually it’s more punk, now that his voice sounds like Eddie Money after survivng a whiskey-filled afterparty. The drums and so on have been jazzed up a little, but mostly this one-off simply functions as a reminder that the original full-length was pretty freaking awesome. A — Eric W. Seager

• Not too many new releases for April 14 at this writing, so for starters we’ll have to take into consideration the new John Mayer album, The Search for Everything. Great, here we go, more pie-in-the-sky chill-blues from the guy who’s also known as “Temporary Mrs. Taylor Swift No. 12” or “Eric Clapton Except Not Old.” I can’t wait, let’s go hear whatever the YouTube has up its sleeve to “entice” me to buy this new album. The single is “Moving On and Getting Over,” one of those bonky, syncopated, Clapton-ish sexy-time-blues things that would work great at the nursing home on gluten-free taco night. This guy really is like the Kenny G of corporate-conference-getaway blues. It’s incredible.

• Random stage-parented brunette Lillie Mae survived her Shirley Temple years without resorting to getting a Disney Channel show, and life has handsomely rewarded her for this service by handing her the Hamburglar himself, Jack White, as overseer of her new album, Forever and Then Some, due April 14. I’m going to guess that it’s slow mudcat blues, and I’ll end up saying to this empty room, “Why not just do another Dead Weather album, Mister Hamburglar?” Here I am, at the single, “Over the Hill and Through the Woods,” and it’s actually soft country-rock, sort of like Faith Hill or Reba McEntire or whatnot, but 1980s, because the Hamburglar loves reverb. It’s palatable I suppose.

• Sydney via East London indie-rawk quartet Splashh welded together a bunch of influences in their 2013 debut LP Comfort, such as Oasis, 1990s-grunge and nu-rave. There were too many cheesy drum tracks for me, but some people like that garbage, so there you are. Their followup is Waiting a Lifetime, spotlighting the tune “Rings,” which is half high-octane buzzsaw no-wave and half Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. trying to be The Beatles, in other words it’s cool, then quirky, then cool again. I could deal with it, definitely, but it will never end up on any mix of mine, I can tell you that.

• Gack, all I have left to mention is the String Cheese Incident’s new album, Believe. You all know how I feel about jam bands, so let’s barf on the YouTube, at the single… wait, there’s just a “fun” two-minute video of the band, trying to sell you the album. They look like a bunch of Ben & Jerry’s workers, these hippies, in this video. They’re having fun in their Batcave garage place, making jam band songs. Someone dropped their iPhone.

Was that because of all the mescaline? Wait, there’s a five-second piece of a tune. It sounds like an old Traffic song from 1967. OK. May I be excused?

When it comes to self-help, Epping psychotherapist and writer Ashley Davis Bush is a realist. She knows most clients aren’t going to make extravagant overnight lifestyle changes — but they Ashley Davis Bush. might try a new pracCourtesy photo. tice if it’s easy to do.

This is the thought behind her latest title, The Little Book of Inner Peace: Simple Practices for Less Angst, More Calm, published April 4 by Gaia, a division of Octopus Publishing Group in the United Kingdom. She talks about it at Water Street Bookstore Thursday, April 20, at 7 p.m.

The book is 96 pages and 4 by 6 inches, small enough to fit in your pocket and filled with practices easy enough to utilize and absorb any time of day — while laying in bed, sitting in the car, even standing in line at the grocery store. It’s the kind of thing people will actually use, she said.

“If you give homework that’s too challenging, nobody does it, so it’s not helpful. These are things you can do within minutes, or less,” Bush said via phone, a day after its release.

It’s not her first book written with this idea in mind; some of her other recent titles are Simple Self-Care for Therapists, 75 Habits for a Happy Marriage and Shortcuts to Inner Peace.

“These books were similar in that I was interested in small, doable, tangible practices to help people, whether it was to ground them, help them relax or find inner peace or intimacy with their partner,” she said.

But this one’s shorter than those, free of stories and theories. It contains about 20 practices, four per chapter, which involve things like movement, breath and visualization. One of the most effective (and popular) listed is the “4-7-8 breath” or the “recalibration breath,” an ancient technique Bush said helps restore balance to the central nervous system. (Inhale for a count of four, hold that breath for a count of seven, exhale for a count of eight. Repeat three times.)

Bush has seen it work wonders for many individuals with anxiety or anger management issues. One client used it during a

certification exam. She practices it before presentations and workshops all the time.

“It sounds simple, but it’s extraordinarily practical and effective. I suggest it to every client I work with,” Bush said.

Some of the practices involve specific environments or props, like candles. (Gaze at a lighted candle with your eyes partially closed. Look at the light, and label what you see — dancing flames, blue light, the center wick. Blow it out and watch the smoke curl up in the air.) Another is inspired by a Jewish custom, Modeh Ani, in which you give thanks for what you have, whatever it might be — family, friends, health, a warm bed, another day to live — as soon as you wake up in the morning.

Bush’s definition of inner peace is something anyone can achieve, so long as they are mindful, gracious and compassionate.

“It’s possible to have inner peace even when your circumstances are not ideal, even when you have financial, health or relationship concerns,” she said.

Bush, who describes herself as a “chronic journaler,” having written every day since age 8, loves writing about these subjects because it helps her reach a wider audience. When she’s not writing books, she tackles articles with the Huffington Post and blogs on her website.

Her book is part of a series with the publishing company (other titles include The Little Book of Gratitude and The Little Book of Mindfulness, both by different authors), and it’s already being translated into five other languages — French, Spanish, German, Swedish and Norwegian.

Bush knows firsthand the benefits of these practices, and she credits them for keeping her grounded while running her private practice and raising five kids (and at one point, five dogs at the same time). But she can only meet with so many clients. This presents a chance to touch more lives and offer something many people need right now.

“There’s a lot of anxiety in the air right now, with recent political events, and it’s affecting a lot of people,” she said. “I think now, more than ever, there’s a need for people to find ways to achieve a more peaceful state.”

HIPPO | APRIL 13 - 19, 2017 | PAGE 48

The Refugees, by Viet Thanh Nguyen (Grove Press, 207 pages) At the age of 4, Viet Thanh Nguyen fled from the Viet Cong invasion of his hometown of Ban Me Thuot with his mother and brother. They trekked over 10 miles through trees that bore the bodies of dead paratroopers, and they clamored for a spot on a boat to Saigon to reunite with Nguyen’s father. Little over a month later, the family sought escape from Vietnam entirely and became four of 150,000 Vietnamese refugees who were accepted into the United States in 1975. Though the passage of time has softened some of his young memories, Nguyen deftly integrates the emotional weight of his family’s reallife refugee experiences into each fictional character of The Refugees.

The book opens with two epigraphs that illustrate how painful memories are the ones that seem to transcend time, haunting as if they were ghosts. Nguyen carries the ghost metaphor (perhaps a little heavy-handedly) into the first story, “Black-Eyed Women.” The narrator is a ghostwriter who is haunted not only by her past, but also by her dead brother’s corporeal ghost. While she tries to figure out why her brother’s spirit appears to her many years and miles away from his death (her mother determines that he had to swim from Vietnam to California, which is why he drips tangible puddles onto the floor), the ghostwriter is forced to relive the violent circumstances of his demise. Though she and her mother survived the trek to the United States, her brother tells her, “You died too…. You just don’t know it,” because her life as a 13-year-old girl ended on that boat ride.

Contrast that with the 13-year-old boy in “War Years” who was largely raised in America: His primary concerns are getting his parents to sell TV dinners in their grocery store and receiving an allowance. (He gets neither.) His perspective of the Communist takeover of Vietnam is shaped through Western media such as Newsweek and World News Tonight, plus what little his parents and neighbors are willing to tell him. His parents believe the Viet Cong were evil because they didn’t believe in money or God, but now that the war is over, they don’t think they should donate their hard-earned pennies to fighting Communism anymore. He is startled to hear a raw admittance of personal devastation from the war when his

prim neighbor admits her husband and sons all went missing in action.

He cannot fathom an appropriate response beyond, “Sorry.”

Nguyen proves to be an expert storyteller as he alternates between first- and third-person perspectives, male and female voices, and old and young narrators. He captures a sense of place whether it’s among the haggling grocery store shoppers in San Jose or the tourist explorations of long-abandoned war tunnels in Saigon. Though the magical realism and literal ghosts are promptly dropped after the first story, the theme of inauspicious memories is carried throughout. The collective memory of the Vietnam War haunts all these characters through several decades in both countries, ensnaring their individual identities within their shared cultural identity.

Interestingly, the concept of identity is most explicitly discussed by characters who are not Vietnamese at all. In “The Transplant,” a Chinese man who was born in Vietnam admits that it’s easier for him to pretend to be Vietnamese, for how can he claim a Chinese identity when he has never been to China? This can easily be transposed onto the narratives of the American-born children of Vietnamese refugees; what do they know of the war and the country their parents fled? Then “The Americans” tells the story of a black American veteran of the Vietnam War and his Japanese wife visiting their daughter Claire, who is teaching English in Vietnam. Claire claims she feels more at home in a foreign country than she ever did as a biracial woman in the United States. She could not reconcile the two halves of her identity in the country she grew up in, but she could fully explore her potential in a starkly new environment.

Following on the heels of Nguyen’s 2016 Pulitzer prize for fiction for The Sympathizer, this next work of fiction does not disappoint. Though each of the short stories were previously published over the last 20 years, the compilation into one volume makes for a seamless and compelling read. The publication could not have been better timed as America grapples with its complex relationships with refugees in the wake of the travel ban for Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Nguyen invites empathy for refugees of the past, present and future. A — Katherine Ouellette

Fogel talks about her new collection, A Doubtful House, Saturday, April 15, at Keene’s Toadstool Bookshop (11 Emerald St., Keene) at 11 a.m., and at Peterborough’s Toadstool (12 Depot Square, Peterborough) at 2 p.m. Derry Poet Laureate Robert Crawford presents “Beyond the Road Not Taken: The Other Poetry of Robert Frost,” Monday, April 17, at 6:30 p.m., at the library, 64 E.

by April 30. For a full list of guidelines, visit poetrysocietyofnewhampshire.org/contest.html.

• Try this Writers’ Day instead: New Hampshire writers were victim to a bad April Fool’s Day trick when the New Hampshire Writers’ Project had to cancel Writers’ Day, its biggest event of the year. Would-be attendees will be refunded, according to the organization’s Facebook post. On the bright side, there’s still Derry Author Fest, slated for Saturday, May 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Derry Public Library, which is for “aspiring authors, dreamers and dabblers alike,” as described on the library’s website. It’s also free and open to the public. Visit derrypl.org or derryauthorfest. wordpress.com for a full schedule and list of speakers.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Smurfs: The Lost Village (PG)

Smurfette and some buddies set out on an adventure to find a previously unknown community of Smurfs in the totally adequate Smurfs: The Lost Village, a fully animated new Smurf story.

Smurfette (voice of Demi Lovato) is unsure about her core identity. After all, while buddies Hefty Smurf (voice of Joe Manganiello), Brainy Smurf (Danny Pudi) and Clumsy Smurf (Jack McBrayer) all have their defining characteristics in their names, Smurfette is curious as to what her “ette” really signifies.

While trying to shake off her troubles by playing in the forest, Smurfette comes across evidence of another community of Smurfs. After she accidentally lets evil wizard Gargamel (voice of Rainn Wilson) in on their existence, Smurfette feels it’s her duty to warn them that he’s coming for them.

Hefty, Brainy and Clumsy join her on her quest, over Papa Smurf’s (voice of Mandy Patinkin) objections, and off they go to discover the lost village. The exact nature of the Smurfs who live there is an easily guessable secret but provides a nice addition to the Smurf universe.

Previous Smurfs movies, which blended humans (such as poor Neil Patrick Harris) and animation, were, from my dim memory of them, painful to sit through. Here solidly back in an all-cartoon world, the Smurfs are much easier to take. They reminded me a bit of the trolls in last year’s Trolls — a little jokey, a little silly, essentially forgettable but not actively unpleasant. They are acceptable children’s entertainment for children

Coming soon Opening Friday, April 14: The Fate of the Furious (PG13) The franchise returns for outing No. 8!

Out now: The Case for Christ (PG) Mike Vogel, Erika Christensen.

A smug reporter turns his wife’s newfound interest in religion into, like, a personal threat in this shaky film that I think is supposed to show us a skeptic’s journey to belief but plays more like a Lifetime movie about a controlling husband.

Somewhere late in the film, somebody says that both belief and non-belief require

Smurfs: The Lost Village

old enough to be happy sitting through any movie that comes with popcorn and a snacksized bag of M&Ms and any parent willing to sit through less-than-stellar entertainment if it means a few hours of relative calm and relaxation. I even laughed out loud once — something about the line delivery of Jack McBrayer, still basically 30 Rock’s Kenneth “The Page” Parcell.

My mild OK-ness with this movie doesn’t mean I’m psyched to sit through four more sequels or whatever decent box office could turn this unkillable property into, but for now Smurfs: The Lost Village is just smurfy enough for a B-.

Rated PG for some mild action and rude humor. Directed by Kelly Asbury with a screenplay by Stacey Harmon and Pamela Ribon, Smurfs: The Lost Village is an hour and 30 minutes long and distributed

by Columbia Pictures.

a leap of faith. This, more of this kind of musing about the nature of faith, would have made for an interesting story about a non-religious person contemplating a spouse’s spiritual awakening. The worst sin, says this newspaper editor: the reporter appears to miss deadlines and completely mess up the reporting of a crime story. D+ The Boss Baby (PG) Voices of Alec Baldwin, Tobey Maguire.

Those missing 30 Rock’s Jack Donaghy can find him in the voice of a suitwearing, promotion-seeking baby in this sweet movie about an imaginative boy upset and scared by the upheaval in his family since the arrival of his baby brother. The boy’s fable

HIPPO | APRIL 13 - 19, 2017 | PAGE 50

― that this “baby” is actually an executive from Baby Corp. looking to sabotage the product launch of Puppy Co., a competitor in the love market ― fits together nicely with the real feelings that accompany the way a family changes when a new baby arrives. The adventure is funny, Baldwin is well used and the visuals do a good job of fitting the boy’s perspective. B Beauty and the Beast (PG) Emma Watson, Dan Stevens.

A fairly faithful reproduction of the 1991 animated movie, this live-action version of the “tale as old as time” is much lighter on the charm and needlessly heavier on darkness. Though the visual grace and humor of come-to-life teapots and candlesticks is dialed down

Going in Style (PG-13)

Three senior citizens decide to rob the bank that’s done them wrong in Going in Style, a depressing comedy directed by, of all people, Zach Braff.

This is also, roughly, the plot of Hell Or High Water, but I don’t expect to see Going in Style in the Oscar pool next year.

Joe (Michael Caine), Albert (Alan Arkin) and Willie (Morgan Freeman) learn that they’re losing the pensions keeping them just above water in their less-than-golden retirement years. Joe is also about to lose the house where he lives with grown daughter Rachel (Maria Dizzia) and her daughter Brooklyn (Joey King), thanks to balloon mortgage payments. Willie is looking at a vastly shortened life span if he doesn’t get a new kidney. Willie’s demise would also mean eviction for Albert, who is Willie’s roommate.

The same bank that gave Joe his crummy refinance terms is the bank handling the liquidation of assets for the company that formerly paid out the trio’s pension. They decide that the only way to get justice is to borrow an idea from the bank robbery Joe witnessed and hold up the bank. After an unsuccessful attempt to rob a local grocery store, they ask Rachel’s ex, Murphy (Peter Serafinowicz), to get them in touch with a robbery tutor of sorts. Thus does Jesus (John Ortiz) attempt to teach them the basics of robbing a bank and not getting caught.

Why did this movie bum me out? Was it because the movie presents crime as the only way these seniors have a shot at comfort in this modern world? Was it because these three leads significantly outclass the less-than-stellar comic material they have to work with? Was it because we don’t really get to know them all that well but are asked to root for them? Was it because the crime at the heart of this crime caper isn’t particularly entertaining or clever in how it’s executed? Was it all of these things?

Yeah, probably all of these things. That and that the movie soft-pedals everything — from its social commentary to scenes of the men planning the crime. Nothing feels as sharp as it could have been in this below-average affair. CRated PG-13 for drug content, language and some suggestive material. Directed

by Zach Braff with a screenplay by Theodore Melfi, Going in Style is an hour and 36 minutes long and distributed by Warner Bros.

Kong: Skull Island (R) Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson.

And also Brie Larson, John Goodman, John C. Reilly, Corey Hawkins and Jing Tian. “More monsters, less humans and their emotional baggage” was my feeling about 2014’s Godzilla and is Ghost in the Shell (PG-13) my feeling about this sameScarlett Johansson, Pilou universe King Kong revival.

Asbæk.

The Jackman’s Wolverine finds movie does nothing interest- him a broken man helping to ing with its setup (that Scar- care for an even more broken Jo is a human brain in fully Charles Xavier in a world synthetic body) and seems to where mutants are dying lean on blah special effects out. When a young girl with and whatever pre-existing familiar abilities shows up, feelings people have about Logan must reluctantly take the source material. Con the role of her protector. from the Disney original, the CGIed inanimate objects are the most fun, most emotionally resonant elements of this movie. The romance between Belle and somewhat-digital-probably Beast and the human actors in general are not so great. B-

Excellent performances all around make this gritty (but still not grim) movie one of the better entries in the X-Men universe. B Life (R) Ryan Reynolds, Rebecca Ferguson.

A group of scientists in need of some remedial science training endanger all life on Earth by reanimating cells from Mars that turn into a dodgy CG alien named Kevin. CCHIPS (R) Michael Peña, Dax Shepard.

The not-terrible idea to riff on a decades-old TV show (21 Jump Street did it successfully) becomes a flat, unfunny mess despite the talents of Michael Peña and the buddycop chemistry between Peña and Shepard. D+

A touchstone of country music is loyalty — sturdy bonds like family, faith and tradition. When the Eric Grant Band lost Brian Howard to cancer last September after he battled the disease for 18 months, the band’s leader knew that an enduring response to remember him was needed.

Howard handled EGB’s sound and lights, but he was more than a technician for the band, Grant said in a recent interview.

“He got in even deeper,” he said. “He wanted to see our dreams come true … and he made things happen.”

That included straight up generosity.

“If you needed something, Brian would be there for you,” Grant said. “I mentioned needing wood for my fireplace, and the next day there’s a pile of wood on my front lawn. That’s how he was; he wanted to make everybody’s lives happier and easier and better.”

To pay tribute, Grant responded with “Who Would You See,” a moving ballad to honor his friend.

“He was everything a man could be,” Grant sings, “he was a man with a plan.”

An accompanying video, released March 10, features a photo montage of Howard and footage of his memorial service.

The clip has already garnered nearly 4,000 YouTube views. Howard died at age 43, leaving a wife, Laureen, and their Eric Grant Band Where: Club ManchVegas, 50 Old Granite St., Manchester When: Friday, April 14, 8 p.m.

“Brian would be so incredibly honored to have something go big,” she wrote. “This song applies to anyone that’s lost a loved one.”

The spark for “Who Would You See” was in Grant’s mind well before he wrote the song.

“It was on the back burner for many years,” he said. “I had this idea after seeing some friends pass. ... I wonder if in spirit they can see us celebrating their life, after their life?”

With Howard’s death, those thoughts returned.

“I can’t tell you how many times I have written a song and then months or years later, it totally related to a moment,” he said.

“It could not be a more perfect song to dedicate to Brian and Laureen, and I hope that Brian is looking over us, still guiding and motivating us and steering us out of the bad and into the good.”

Moving forward, Grant said he and his band are plotting a move “back to basics; deep into our country roots.” In 2012, the group was named Best New Country Band by the NHCMA, and it’s looking to repeat that feat in the coming year.

“We’d love to go back to Pigeon Forge [Tennessee, the site of the national competition],” he said.

A recent session at The Recording Coop in Gilford with producer Ryan Ordway energized the band.

“We talked about getting back into the originals but once we got in that studio, with the red light on … it just lit a fire under everybody,” Grant said. “This is a new group, about three years old … it’s super excited to take on the world — just like I was back in 2009.”

The band occasionally performs as its alter ego Sugar Rush, playing “high-energy fun dance party music,” Grant said. Conceived as a way to add more paying gigs to the calendar, the effort turned out to be a lot of fun.

“The truth is country is rock,” he said.

“There are rock roots to it.”

To prove his point, Grant mentioned that he was a hair band fan in his youth.

“I grew up on Jon Bon Jovi,” he said, noting that guitarist Mark Phaneuf liked metal — Cinderella, Ratt and Dokken — while drummer Mike Salois favored modern rockers like King’s X. “Here we are. We just love music; we love everything. That’s where we came from.”

Don’t chase unsuspecting fish.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) I have laid the floor of my tree-house. Captain Prospect is delighted — and at the same time exasperated because the work progresses so slowly. Take your time with an important project.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) ... usually when I go to Frigate Bird Islet the young men run into the shoal water, pick up my canoe with me in it, and carry it ashore. Being accustomed to this kind of a welcome, I was peeved when only the constable met us; in fact I was on the point of stepping the mast in the other end of the canoe and returning to the main islet. If you hold out for a king’s welcome it’s going to be a long wait.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) If you swat a mosquito and hold its carcass before their eyes the villagers will dismiss the evidence with contempt. “Oh, one or two, perhaps, just at this time, with the moon nearly full,” they will admit, “but there are no mosquitoes on Frigate Bird Islet.”

There are or there aren’t, no matter what you say.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Nothing deters or humiliates a born fisherman. What are you fishing for?

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Note the misty wraiths of reef spray drifting up the beach and into the jungle. Fill your lungs with the clean salty smell of the sea! Would you exchange this for U.S.H.A., Unit 168-b, or even for the flashiest apartment in Metropolis? The correct answer is no.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Two unhappy contradictions of character have been the curse of his life: that is, an artistic temperament in conflict with the necessity to live on next to nothing, and a capacity for friendship in conflict with an overpowering mania for gossip. You must navigate conflicts.

All quotes are from The Island of Desire (The Story of a South Sea Trader), by Robert Dean Frisbie, born April 17, 1896.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) When a man gets in the fishing mood it’s no use discussing any other subject with him or trying to set right his sense of values. He wants to catch a fish — preferably a big fish — and that’s all there is to it, and that’s all there is worth living for. You might want to learn how to cook fish.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Perhaps we were the first humans these birds had seen; perhaps a few of them had looked down to the decks of ships to observe incuriously the wingless bugs that poked their heads from holes, turned wheels, squawked some unknown tongue, and smoked pipes. To the bird, you are a wingless bug.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) The rumbling sound that rises and falls fitfully is not caused so much by the surf on the outer reef as it is by the snores of my six hundred and fifty neighbors. All are asleep, for it is midday and they must be refreshed for the night’s toil ahead. A good nap will do wonders.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) “Wait a minute, Captain,” I interrupted. “How can you play golf on an atoll where the biggest islet is not a mile long?” The captain eyed me sourly, muttered something about my lack of imagination, then glanced at the dock, and, “You’d better go on deck and take the sun,” he said.

Use your imagination.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) If you paddle in a canoe close to the reef you see only dull yellow coral ... but if you dive down with water goggles on you become utterly flabbergasted. ... thousands of fish, everywhere, and scarcely two alike. Bring water goggles.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) The sand is scarcely white, and there is plenty of rubbish strewn about; but the bay itself and the lagoon beyond are clean, blue, sparkling,

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

World’s coolest city

NH’s Best Biker Shop Featuring

Recently, in Dubai (the largest city in the United Arab Emirates), Dubai Civil Defense started using water jetpacks that lift firefighters off the ground to hover in advantageous positions as they work the hoses. Also, using jet skis, rescuers can avoid traffic altogether by using the city’s rivers to arrive at fires (and, if close enough to a waterway, can pump water without hydrants). Even more spectacularly, as early as this summer, Dubai will authorize already tested one-person, “Jetsons”-type drones for ordinary travel in the city. The Ehang 184 model flies about 30 minutes on an electrical charge, carrying up to 220 pounds at about 60 mph.

Spectacular errors

(1) Thieves once again attempted a fruitless smash-and-grab of an ATM at Mike and Reggie’s Beverages in Maple Heights, Ohio, in March despite the owner’s having left the ATM’s door wide open with a sign reading “ATM emptied nightly.” Police are investigating. (2) Boca Raton, Florida, jeweler “Bobby” Yampolsky said he was suspicious that the “customer” who asked to examine diamonds worth $6 million carried no tools of the examination trade. After the lady made several obvious attempts to distract Yampolsky, he ended the charade by locking her in his vault and calling the police, who arrested her after discovering she had a package of fake diamonds in her purse that she likely intended to switch.

In March, star soccer goalkeepr Bruno Fernandes de Souza signed a two-year contract to play for Brazil’s Boa Esporte club while he awaits the outcome of his appealed conviction for the 2010 murder of his girlfriend. (He had also fed her body to his dogs.) He had been sentenced to 22 years in prison, but was released by a judge after seven, based on the judge’s exasperation at the years-long delays in appeals in Brazil’s sluggish legal system.

Awesome!

Most competent criminal

The Cleveland (Ohio) Street Department still had not (at press time) identified the man, but somehow he, dressed as a road worker, had wandered stealthily along Franklin Boulevard during March and removed more than 20 standard “35 mph” speed limit signs replacing all with official-looking “25 mph” signs that he presumably financed himself.

Residents along those two miles of Franklin have long complained, but the city kept rejecting pleas for a lowered limit.

in 2016, and to disguise that it was stolen, the thief had looked for an identical, notstolen Ford Kuga and then replicated its license plate, allowing the thief to drive the stolen car without suspicion.

(1) In March, jurors in Norfolk, Virginia, found Allen Cochran, 49, not guilty of attempted shoplifting, but he was nowhere to be seen when the verdict was announced. Apparently predicting doom (since he had also been charged with fleeing court during a previous case), he once again skipped out. The jury then re-retired to the jury room, found him guilty on the earlier count and sentenced him to the fiveyear maximum. (Because of time already served, he could have walked away legally if he hadn’t walked away illegally.) (2) In March, Ghanian soccer player Mohammed Anas earned a “man of the match” award (after his two goals led the Free State Stars to a 2-2 draw), but botched the acceptance speech by thanking both his wife and his girlfriend. Reportedly, Anas “stumbled for a second” until he could correct himself.

“I’m so sorry,” he attempted to clarify. “My wife! I love you so much from my heart.”

Latest human rights

US Made

peahens at eye level (to learn how they check out strutting males) revealed that the females gazed mostly at the lowest level of feathers (as if attracted only to certain colors rather than the awesomeness of the towering flourish).

• The Apenheul primate park in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, is engaged in a four-year experiment, offering female orangutans an iPad loaded with photos of male orangutans now housed at zoos around the world, with the females able to express interest or disinterest (similar to swiping right or left on the human dating app Tinder). Researchers admit results have been mixed, that some males have to be returned home, and once, a female handed the iPad with a potential suitor showing, merely crushed the tablet. (Apps are not quite to the point of offering animals the ability to digitally smell each other.)

• Peacocks are “well known” (so they say) to flash their sometimes-6-foot-high rack of colorful tail feathers to attract mating opportunities. However, as researchers in Texas recently found, the display might not be important. Body cameras placed on

An astonished woman unnamed in news reports called police in Coleshill, England, in February to report that a car exactly like her silver Ford Kuga was parked at Melbicks garden center with the very same license plate as hers. Police figured out that a silver Ford Kuga had been stolen nearby

Least competent criminals

The passing parade

Two convicted murderers imprisoned in Nepal married each other in February, though it will be at least 14 years before they can consummate. Dilli Koirala, 33 (serving 20 years for killing his wife), and Mimkosha Bista, 30 (with another four years to go for killing her husband), will be allowed to meet (just to talk) twice a month until Koirala’s term ends. (A lawyer involved in the case said the marriage, though odd, was perhaps the last chance either would have to meet a suitable match.)
