You could see some frustration come out of Republican executive branches in Concord and Washington as members of their own parties thwarted efforts to pass parts of their agenda.

In Washington it was members of the Freedom Caucus who told President Donald Trump that his repeal and replacement of Obamacare wasn’t good enough. And in Concord it was members of a different Freedom Caucus that similarly withheld votes from Gov. Chris Sununu’s budget, causing it to be defeated.

Members of both Freedom Caucuses voted their conscience and were freely elected members free to vote how they please. They chose ideas over party. But this shouldn’t have come as a surprise to either executive.

These legislators aren’t party players and they never claimed to be.

That’s why it’s a little surprising that Sununu and Trump haven’t been reaching across the aisle in a more bipartisan way.

After all, when you’re the president you want to get things done.

In Sununu’s case he campaigned on a platform that included adding more kindergarten but his own party became an obstacle. So why not work with Democrats to get that passed?

Trump too has proposed programs that could get Democratic support, but he hasn’t really worked the other side of the aisle either.

While I’m sure Trump and Sununu would welcome votes from the opposing party, what have they really done to build bridges to see what bipartisan efforts can be accomplished?

We didn’t send these men to Concord or Washington to be true to their parties. We sent them there to govern. And governing means making a deal, and you generally make a deal with someone on a different side than you.

Buyer and sellers reach deals. Even warring nations reach deals.

This was my problem with President Barack Obama. He was rarely able to reach deals to get things done. His only major accomplishment (after the stimulus packages) was a straight line party vote on Obamacare.

Yes, Republicans were afraid of making deals with him; they were afraid of seeming to help him when the call to arms was to resist. But again, if deals can be made across the table with warring parties, they can be made across the partisan divide. It might take some give and take and some threats (and even some retribution), but that’s what running a government requires. Just ask Lyndon Johnson.

Ideological purity is for legislators who aren’t really required to do much. But presidents and governors need to govern and need to show that they have accomplished something. Want kindergarden? Want a wall? Then start dealing.

NEWS & NOTES Science march

Part protest of the Trump administration’s environmental policies and part global celebration of science, a rally at the New Hampshire Statehouse on Sunday, April 22 (Earth Day), attracted about 2,000 attendees, according to the Concord Monitor. Multiple news sources reported the event was one of about 600 similar events held in cities across the globe. Scientists and others participated in the Concord event with signs that read “Facts are facts,” and speakers railed against what seems like a growing distrust of evidencebased knowledge. The Monitor reported climate researcher Erich Osterberg from Dartmouth College said to the crowd that he’s seen the effects of climate change on glaciers, and that we need to stop debating whether climate change is real and start debating how to fix it. Another speaker, Roger Stephenson with the Union of Concerned Scientists, was quoted criticizing the proposed cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as the man now heading the agency, Scott Pruitt, for being friendly with the fossil fuels industry and for stating that the mission of the EPA is to protect the environment through regulations that “enhance economic growth.”

Another march was held in Portsmouth.

The flagship event of the March for Science was the “teach in” at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Air quality

For the first time since the American Lung Association has issued annual reports on air quality in the state, New Hampshire earned overall passing grades in the main categories of air pollution. According to a press release, the 2017 State of Air report showed improvements in the state’s two most populous counties, Rockingham and Hillsborough. The grades improved from F to D in Rockingham and from D to C in Hillsborough. While particle pollution (soot) saw continued declines, ozone pollution (smog) was harder to clean up due to rising global temperatures. Rockingham still

has the worst particle pollution of any county in the Boston metro area. Only Coos County went in the wrong direction, with air quality decreasing from increased ozone levels.

Fantasy sports

A bill before the Senate would legalize, regulate and tax fantasy sports gaming, a form of gambling that an estimated 200,000 Granite Staters are already participating in, according to the AP. Fantasy sports companies like DraftKings and FanDuel would have to pay $5,000 to register with the state annually and pay a 5-percent tax. Both DraftKings and FanDuel support the plan, according to the story.

The bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Gary Azarian, said the state would see a little revenue at the start but revenues would grow as the games become more popular.

Good samaritan

Lawmakers in the Senate voted to overturn a repeal of the state’s Good Samaritan law, which provides immunity to people who report drug overdoses, the AP reported. A law signed last session would have repealed the immunity by 2018 but lawmakers are now seeking to extend the protection, which supporters say helps to save lives during the current drug crisis. The bill already passed the House and received unanimous support from the five-member Senate Judiciary Committee. It’s expected to pass the full Senate on April 27.

Drew Cline

Gov. Chris Sununu has selected former Union Leader editorial page editor Drew Cline to sit on the state board of education, replacing Tom Raffio, the CEO of Northeast Delta Dental, NHPR reported. Raffio has served on the board since 2007 and his term ended in January.

Raffio continued working on the board hoping Sununu would reappoint him but he said he was disappointed when the decision to replace him was announced.

Raffio said he was “nervous” about the shakeup in the board.

This will be the third new appointee by the governor to the board

of education. Cline, of Bedford, currently works as a communications consultant.

Mental hospital

New Hampshire Hospital, the state’s mental hospital, needs about 50 more beds according to Gov. Chris Sununu. NHPR reported Sununu made the pronouncement after taking a private tour of the facility, but also said he wanted to make sure other systems are built up that will curb demand at the hospital and reduce the need for those beds.

Sununu said he’s been working on a plan to strengthen the mental health system with Senate leaders that will be taken up this week. Increasing capacity at the hospital and supporting community-based services will also be brought up in the budget, according to the story.

Business tour

One of Sununu’s campaign promises before being elected governor was to meet with 100 out-of-state business owners in his first 100 days in office, in the hopes of getting them to consider setting up shop in the Granite State. According to a press release from the governor’s office, Sununu made good on his promise, meeting with 127 businesses in his first 100 days.

Sununu claimed to have met with business leaders from seven countries and 23 states, but his report didn’t include the names of any of the companies he spoke with.

In the report, the decision to keep companies confidential was

FISHERMEN

New Hampshire coastal fishermen who united against a federal monitoring program they argue is too costly and in some cases may pose an existential threat to the already strained groundfishing industry in New England lost their appeal in federal court. The AP reported a 1st U.S. Court of Appeals panel in Boston sided with a lower court decision upholding the program. Starting last year, the government shifted the cost burden for at-sea monitors onto the fishermen. Monitors are people who collect data used to craft fishing regulations and quotas; they can cost hundreds of dollars per day. The lawsuit was led by New Hampshire fisherman David Goethel.

Disunified government A look at the NH Freedom Caucus

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

When the House failed to pass a budget for the first time in decades, Speaker Shawn Jasper, a moderate Republican, criticized the 30 to 60 fellow Republicans who blocked the legislation, which didn’t raise taxes but did increase spending. That opposition, which calls itself the New Hampshire House Freedom Caucus, was happy to take credit.

Origins

J.R. Hoell, a fourth-term Republican state rep from Dunbarton, says he co-founded the caucus with the help of a former House member from the Seacoast who wishes to remain anonymous.

“On March 24, the URL was registered with a phone call between myself and one other person and within a week we had decided the budget … was significantly higher than we wanted to see,” Hoell said referring to the website nhhfc.org. “The spending was up almost $300 million on the state portion of the budget. And we started having meetings with various members who were opposed to [House Bill 1].”

According to its official description, the caucus is a grassroots organization that consists of legislators and private citizens who believe in “personal liberty” and “traditional conservative ‘Yankee’ values.”

Hoell said there is no official, published list of caucus members but there is an email chain that includes the interested members. Even in

their first major victory, the defeat of the budget, they didn’t act as a cohesive unit. Sixty-six Republicans voted against the budget and 32 voted against the budget trailer bill, HB2.

Hoell estimates the larger conservative faction, as he calls it, numbers around 85.

For an idea of which members are included in that, he suggests looking at the roll call to see the Republican “nay” votes opposing the dairy farm relief bill SB10.

Hoell says nearly all parts of the state are represented in the caucus.

“It’s across the state,” Hoell said.

Hoell had some help from former House Speaker Bill O’Brien when Hoell asked him to invite members to a meeting where they spent two hours discussing budget numbers and arriving at a clear goal.

Besides the website, the group also has Twitter and Facebook accounts.

The formation of the New Hampshire House Freedom Caucus was inspired by the similarly named group in Congress, which prevented Speaker Paul Ryan’s plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. “The House Freedom Caucus was kind of a branch off of what we saw in Washington, D.C., when a small group of conservatives got together and stopped effectively Obamacare 2.0 and said, ‘We want a complete repeal.’ Just nipping around the edges wasn’t good enough,” Hoell said. “We did the same thing. In this case, it was regarding a very bloated New Hampshire state budget that was proposed by the House.”

What it wants

The caucus was founded primarily to push back on a budget its members thought was too bloated.

“Our party platform was very clear on state spending not rising faster than the rate of inflation plus population growth. … So we drew the line in the sand based on historic rates of inflation relative to growth of the state spending,” Hoell said.

He said spending in this budget grew by 10.5 percent over the biennium. Judging by the most recent consumer price index data, Hoell and his fellow caucus members decided spending growth should not exceed 3 percent, or 1.5 percent annually.

Partly, this is due to the fear that sending millions to local communities will create a new normal that is based on stronger revenues from a good economy and communities will be forced to raise tax rates or make cuts when the economy slows down.

Hoell is optimistic that the Senate will produce a budget more to the liking of the caucus and expects a longer period of deliberation than the typical week where House and Senate merge budgets known as the committee of conference.

After this budget process is concluded, Hoell said, it’s possible the group might continue to serve a purpose.

“There is clearly an interest in having a group in Concord that supports the individual rights of the taxpayers, that protects their personal liberties and while there are a number of

outside groups, there is no internal caucus that focuses just on that. And maybe that’s the need that this group fills long-term,” Hoell said.

On April 20, it was announced that the caucus had created a PAC that would raise money to help the campaigns of current and future members.

Historical phenomenon

Political analyst Dean Spiliotes said it’s not uncommon to see internecine fractures within a party and for wings of a party to stall legislation desired by party leadership even in cases where the party has control of the legislature and the executive.

“To be fair, it’s not just the GOP. It’s really a larger phenomenon involving unified government in general,” Spiliotes said.

He points to cases at the federal level where unified government was thwarted by members of the controlling party that tended to be on the wings of the ideological spectrum, such as the first couple years of the Eisenhower administration, the Carter administration and the Clinton administration.

Spiliotes said it tends to be easier for parties to coalesce when they’re in the opposition.

“When you finally have unified government, there’s an assumption that you can finally move the party’s agenda forward but what you end up seeing is these fissures that maybe have been sort of temporarily downplayed or less visible start to become more obvious,” Spiliotes said.

Biomass woes

What’s behind the struggling N.H. biomass industry

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Earlier this month, the Indeck Energy

biomass plant in Alexandria announced it was shutting down. And if market prices or regulations meant to help renewable energy providers don’t change, the state’s

remaining plants could soon follow.

“There will be hundreds of jobs lost, literally,” said Hunter Carbee, a procurement forester with North Country Procurement.

into electrical energy. His whole business is with biomass energy, and right now he sells his wood predominantly to the Pinetree Power plant in Tamworth.

He said the problem with the biomass industry is not like anything seen before as the plants are operating at a loss right now, and the reason is twofold.

The larger force at work is the very low price of biomass energy sold in the wholesale market.

“The price in the past year or two years has been significantly low. There’s less demand, we’ve had warmer winters and natural gas has come in to replace what was coal and oil, and natural gas was much cheaper as a fossil fuel,” Carbee said.

As a result, the economic forces are pushing everything toward more cheap natural gas.

Secondly, the reimbursement rates under the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard law are too low to make a difference. Carbee said the renewable energy certificates are meant to be incentives to strengthen renewable energy generators by filling the gaps in the prices. The goal is to ensure the state has 25 percent renewable energy sources by the year 2025.

There is a bill that passed the Senate that aims to raise the reimbursement rates in an effort to save the ailing biomass industry. It’s currently being taken up by the House Science, Technology and Energy Committee.

Worst case

If the state loses its biomass plants, it will result in the loss of jobs and have a number of other negative ripple effects as well, Carbee said.

One effect is the impact on New Hampshire forests.

With the closing of several New England paper mills, biomass plants are now the last remaining buyers of low-grade wood, essentially the scrap that foresters can’t sell to anyone else.

If there isn’t a market for low-grade wood in the region, a lot of scrap will be left in the forest.

That could result in an increased risk of forest fires and invasive insect infestations.

There may also be a negative aesthetic effect when it isn’t fully cleared of unusable wood.

The loss of biomass will also make the energy market more volatile, according to Jason Stock at the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association.

“Although it’s not a huge chunk of power, they do provide a nice hedge to the fluctuating natural gas market,” Stock said.

Unlike most other renewable energy sources like wind or solar, biomass is constantly running 24/7 and the plants are strategically located throughout the state so they don’t have to transmit the power very far.

There are plants affiliated with or owned

by Eversource in Portsmouth and Berlin and independent plants in Bethlehem, Whitefield, Tamworth, Bridgewater and Springfield, according to Stock.

Take those away, and you could exacerbate the energy prices in the state.

Stock said the state already gets most of its energy from natural gas, about 50 to 60 percent. That makes the state vulnerable to the kinds of price spikes like those seen in the 2013 to 2014 winter. In periods of high demand like that, supply can’t keep up.

If the state is even more reliant on natural gas, Carbee said, a bad winter could cause prices to skyrocket further.

There are smaller biomass generators that supply heat and hot water to places like Winnisquam Regional High School in Tilton and the state health department building in Concord. Stock said that while they aren’t affected directly by the economic forces of the energy market, they could find it harder to find wood chips to fuel the generators if all the biomass plants go belly up. That’s because the power generators use a lot of wood, Stock said, about 1.2 million tons a year.

“The volume that [smaller heat generators] consume … it’s very difficult to justify owning and operating a chipping crew,” Stock said.

Why are you passionate about education?

Education is the ticket in life to opportunities and really, with education, I think that the horizons for individuals are limitless. And so I think that it is an opportunity for people to grow and challenge themselves. I believe in the concept of being a lifetime learner, which means that we all should continue to grow and expand our knowledge forever. Education should not be something you do and then finish. It should be something that you continually are investing in and growing in. …

I just completed a master’s degree in 2015, so I am a believer of and a practicer of this philosophy.

personal responsibility, along with my wife, for the education of our own children.

Were there specific things that you wanted to do differently than the public eduCourtesy photo. cation system that you thought was maybe failing in certain areas?

I wasn’t really worried about the failing … but more interested in the opportunities that were presented or available to me and to my family. I believe strongly that education needs to be personalized, which basically recognizes that students are different; they have different learning styles, they come to the system at different stages, they learn at different paces. So I think, whether it’s in a home education program or in a public institution, we need to try to create opportunities to personalize education for students. Education is really going through a shift … from the industrial age to the information age. … In the industrial age, the educators were the possessors of content, so they … delivered content to students. … In the information age, I think what you discover is content is ubiquitous so educators no longer have to be or are the possessors of content because of the ubiquity.

What do you personally believe when it comes to hot-button issues like climate change and the origin of the species?

Whatever I believe personally I don’t think is really that germane but I’ll tell you that we know that there … is upwards of 400 parts per million of carbon in the atmosphere, we know that carbon absorbs infrared light to create heat so we know that. I mean, that’s science, right? This is just the facts that kind of happen. What’s less clear is what the influence of man is on that process and … whether the anthropogenic effect is demonstrable at this point in time and what can be done about it.

A lot has been made about you homeschooling your own kids. Can you talk about what informed that decision?

Sure. Oftentimes when people talk about my decision to home educate my own children, [they think] that that was somehow a vote against education. And I think that that’s the wrong conclusion. The right conclusion is that I am someone who is passionate about educaAre you on the same page as most scition, both for myself and for my children. So my entists on the other issues like origin of the decision to home educate my children is just a species, age of the Earth, things like that?

My degree is in theology, so I don’t actureflection of my passion for education that I value education so much that I was willing to take ally get myself too involved in that particular debate. I like the bigger questions, the bigWHAT ARE YOU REALLY INTO ger theological questions in terms of what RIGHT NOW? is the eternality of matter and stuff like that, so honestly I have not engaged in those and I I am an avid Nordic skier and as quickcontinue to not engage in those because I’m ly as the snow melted I began my second not sure that anybody knows the answers hobby. … I love gardening and I’m busily growing all kinds of things. there. — Ryan Lessard

With the NFL draft kicking off, this is a great weekend for draft geeks as it continues through the seventh round on Saturday. It’s a far cry from how they used to stuff all 26 rounds into one afternoon back in the early days.

Of course, it’s going to be a long wait for those in Patriot Nation. After giving up their first- and second-round picks for wide out Brandin Cooks and D-lineman Kony Ealy in trades they don’t have a pick until No. 72 in Round 3 — though with Coach B in charge you never know. Especially with Jimmy G and Malcolm Butler available to go. Personally, I hope he keeps Butler, because every time they’ve had dynamic cornerback play in the Belichick era they’ve won the SB. Plus, losing the second-rounder in the Ealy trade sounds worse than it is, as it really was just a slide back from the 64th overall to 72. Still if nothing changes the Patriots won’t pick until late Friday.

Still some hand-wringers are worried about giving up those picks, especially after they got Goodelled on their 2016 top pick over deflate-gate. But remember, the last time Coach B used his draft to fill immediate needs in trades for veterans was 2007.

Which, after bringing in Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Donté Stallworth to juice the passing game, produced a 16-0 regular season. Plus, Rome didn’t crumble in the ensuing years either. Having seen it work before, I’m all good on sacrificing the high picks this time around. In the meantime, here are a few more draft thoughts to ponder as you’re waiting for No. 74 to come up.

NFL Draft 101: This franchise has picked (but not necessarily earned) a most ever first overall pick six different times since the NFL-AFL merger in 1966. Name the team and players they chose.

For those worried about losing those high

picks, consider this. Outside of Martellus Bennett, none of the skill position players who ran the ball, caught a pass or scored any of the points in the Patriots’ SB win over Atlanta were taken before the fourth round.

Bennett went second to Dallas, but Steve Gostkowski, Malcolm Mitchell and James White went in Round 4, Dion Lewis in 5, Julian Edelman in 7, while Danny Amendola, Chris Hogan and LeGarrette Blount were undrafted free agents. And as we all know Tom Brady went 199th after seven other quarterbacks were already taken. So, with eight picks from Round 3 on, they got it covered.

I loved this one from Derek Carr: that fans leaving the Raiders because they’re moving to Las Vegas “are not true Raider fans.” Earth to Derek: The Raiders have left Oakland “fans” flat for a girlfriend in another state 8 hours and 24 minutes away because her rich father gave them a free stadium. Put another way: After 55 years of faithfulness that already survived one move to L.A., Mark Davis just gave your fans the finger again.

NFL Draft 101 Answer: The (Baltimore/ Indianapolis) Colts have had the most first overall picks since the merger: 1966, Bubba Smith; 1983, John Elway, who refused to report; 1987, Jeff George; 1989, Steve Emtman; 1998, Peyton Manning; 2012, Andrew Luck.

NFL Draft 102: In 1974 this team drafted a record four Hall of Famers. Name the team and Famers.

There’s no mistake worse than reaching for a quarterback who isn’t any good because you need one, as it sets you back four years. First have to wait for up to a year for him to be “ready.” Then comes playing him when he’s overwhelmed, as 2016 top pick Jared Goff was. Then, there’s two years when he has to play through really bad results even after they know he’s no good because he was taken so high. Lastly, there’s Year 4, where you finally give up, which may be close to where Jack-

DEMO WEEKEND

sonville is on Blake Bortles after a horrible Year 3.

In that vein, anytime Denny Crain wanted in on a salacious case in the late, great TV show Boston Legal, they’d tell him, “But, Denny, you don’t know anything about this case,” and he’d say, “I don’t need to know anything about a case to try it,” the implication being that trying a case was mostly about instinct and reading people. That’s exactly how I feel about teams in dire need stretching to get a QB, like the Jets and Browns may. They look for size and a big arm, then leap, as someone will do with Mitch Trubisky. Now I wouldn’t know the North Carolina QB if I fell over him, but my inner Denny is telling me he’ll be 2017’s Joey Harrington, Christian Ponder, or mother of all QB flops JaMarcus Russell, et al.

If I’m the Browns I don’t give up a top pick for Jimmy G or draft a suspect QB with one either. How many times have we seen a QB taken by a bad team and then be bad because he gets the crap beat out of him thanks to a horrible offensive line? I’d use their boatload of 2017-2018 picks to build infrastructure now, so when they do get one they’re ready to win. In the meantime, play Brock Osweiler to see what they’ve got — a guy who had a bad year, or a bum. If it’s the latter, then buy Jimmy G in free agency.

NFL Draft 102 Answer: It was Pittsburgh that incredibly drafted four Famers in one stinking day! Lynn Swann (1), Jack Lambert (2), John Stallworth (4) and Mike Webster (5). Thus it’s not surprising they won four of the next six Super Bowls.

Especially since they joined five more guys already on hand who also went to the Hall!

Finally, with the Patriots losing a fourthround pick as the final vestige of deflate-gate, don’t forget to boo lustily each time Roger the Dodger comes on stage to announce a pick!

Your guide to planting all kinds of beautiful blooms

How to grow a wildflower garden

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Wildflower gardens can provide beauty and natural function, and they’re not hard to maintain — but they can be difficult to start.

Creating a habitat

Cathy Neal, a specialist in landscape horticulture with the UNH Cooperative Extension, has done a lot of research on wildflowers native to the region in an effort to create pollinator habitats and meadows that serve as habitats for other forms of wildlife.

“That includes things like selecting the appropriate species to seed but also we’ve looked at starting from small transplants, we’ve looked at different site preparation methods, we’ve looked at planting in the spring versus the fall,” Neal said.

Through that research, she’s determined the best way to start and maintain a wildflower planting.

The first step is to prepare the plot of land where you plan to plant your wildflowers. If it’s an area of lawn, she recommends placing a tarp over the area from mid-June to the beginning of September. By blocking the sunlight, that will kill the grass and other weeds growing there.

Neal said you can plant your seeds in the fall or the following spring, but there is a benefit to planting in the fall since many of the hardy wildflower species benefit from waiting through the cold of winter before germinating.

As far as obtaining the right seeds, Neal cautions against buying common wildflow-

er seed mixes easily found in stores as they often include annuals and certain species from California and other places that won’t thrive in New Hampshire.

“We’re looking at establishing sustainable long-term native perennial wildflowers,” Neal said.

For the most balanced wildflower meadow, Neal tends to use between 13 and 25 different species. On the UNH Cooperative website, she has posted nearly 40 different native species such as black-eyed susan, common milkweed and four different types of goldenrod.

In choosing which species you plant, Neal says it’s important to pick some that bloom early in the season, middle of the season and late season.

Once you’ve got your seeds picked out and mixed together, you can spread them around by hand.

“What we do is we mix in the wildflower seed in with moist sawdust or vermiculite or I’ve heard people use kitty litter. Some of the seeds are very tiny so they stick to that car-

rier and spread that out and see what you got and try to get an even distribution,” Neal said.

Don’t bury them. Instead, Neal says to just rake it lightly and press the seeds in so they stay close to the surface.

Then it’s a good idea to spread a blanket of straw mulch, about a bale’s worth per square foot.

It will take probably three years before the wildflower plot is fully mature, but if you use perennials, their root structures will be stronger each year so you won’t need to worry about watering or fertilizing.

“These are plants that have very strong root systems so they’re able to grow and find what they need in the soil without us adding a lot to it,” Neal said.

Keep an eye on weeds in the first year. In mid to late July of the first year, Neal suggests using a lawnmower over the area at four to six inches high to prevent things like crab grass from going to seed while the wildflowers are still trying to establish themselves.

Worth the effort

Wildflower plots are great for honeybees and other more native forms of pollinators, especially if they have different flowers in bloom throughout the season. And they’re still easy on the eyes.

“A lot of people want to get away from having so much lawn and manicured-type gardens. This provides a very beautiful and functional landscape component that, once Grow wild Here are a few native wildflower options that could thrive in your garden, suggested by UNH Cooperative Extension.

Golden Alexanders: Tiny yellow flowers that grow in clumps. Blossoms in late May, early June.

Wild Columbine: Crown-shaped red flower. Blossoms from late May through the end of June.

Pale purple coneflower: A light purple flower head with narrow and drooping rays. Blossoms from late June to mid-July.

Black-eyed susan: A dark-colored flower head in the center of bright yellow rays.

Blossoms from mid-June to mid-August.

Common milkweed: Tiny pink flowers.

Blossoms in July.

Ox-eye sunflower: A small sunflower similar in appearance to black-eyed susan.

Blossoms in early July to mid-August.

Blue vervain: Cone-like shoots of deep purple flowers. Blossoms from mid-July through the end of August.

Wild bergamot: A light purple flower that splays out like fireworks. Blossoms from late July to mid-September.

Stiff goldenrod: Fluffy yellow flowers at the tip of a tall stem. Blossoms from midAugust to the end of September.

New England aster: A purple flower with a yellow center. Blossoms from mid-September to mid-October.

you get it established, doesn’t take a lot of work,” Neal said.

It also provides benefits for stormwater management and biodiversity. Beyond pollinators, other animals might use the plants for habitat. Certain birds may like to eat the seeds when a wildflower goes to seed or use some of the stems for building nests. Some ground-nesting species may build their nest amongst the wildflowers.

Grow your own state flower Lilac bushes have a long history tied to New Hampshire. Long before the purple lilac became the state flower in 1919, they were shipped here from England and planted in the state in 1750, making it the first state in the nation to plant lilacs. The British colonial governor at the time, John Wentworth, planted them at his estate in Portsmouth, according to Guy Giunta, the chairman of the state lilac commission.

Lilacs can live for hundreds of years in the right conditions, and some of those original plants are still there.

Giunta said it’s very difficult to plant a lilac bush by seed.

“Your best thing to do would be to buy a plant,” Giunta said.

The plant does best in soil that isn’t too wet or sandy, and it struggles in the shade.

“Lilacs should be planted in as much sun as possible. Full sun is ideal,” Giunta said.

One of the common problems with lilacs not blooming is lack of sunlight, according to Giunta. If the bush only gets about 50 percent sunlight, it may only bloom 50 percent of its flowers.

“In the summer during drought season … it would be very helpful to be watering your lilacs also,” Giunta said.

And while fertilizer isn’t usually necessary, a couple handfuls couldn’t hurt.

Each lilac bush has sprouts that grow up from the base. Giunta says these are your future bush, so it’s important to take good care of them. The base of the bush should be cleared of grass and weeds and replaced with a nice mulch bed. That will also discourage lawn mowers from razing the sprouts.

Giunta said lilac bushes should be pruned only at the base. The best approach is to cut a third of the largest clumps of branches down to the base each year so over a three-year period you will have cut away the thickest branches.

Timing is important for pruning. Giunta said it’s best to prune right after the blossom around late May, early June. If you cut too late in the summer or in fall, you’ll be cutting next year’s blooms.

The best lilac blooms come from younger branches. And it’s important not to let it grow too tall, though it’s capable of reaching 20 or 30 feet, Giunta said.

A lilac bush that’s too tall runs the risk of shading its sprouts and getting cracked in the coldest days of winter.

What to know before growing your own

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Roses are red. Or pink. Or yellow. Or any color, really, now that we’ve stepped into the 21st century.

There’s a lot to learn before growing your own rose garden, but there’s no better time to do it, with hundreds of varieties to choose from based on what you’re looking for in terms of aesthetic, maintenance and location. For the most part, they require a lot less work than rose gardens of yesteryear.

Why roses?

Roses are iconic. They’re what you get your significant other on Valentine’s Day, your mom on Mother’s Day, your grandmother on her birthday.

“I think many people associate with the romanticism of roses, and that’s part of it for some gardeners,” said Jeremy DeLisle, education center program coordinator with the UNH Cooperative Extension.

Eric Jacobs of Jacques Flower Shop and Garden Center in Manchester has known people to plant rose bushes in memory of loved ones, or just because they’re the same kinds of shrubs they saw in parents’ or grandparents’ gardens. They’re pretty all year long.

“Most people like to grow roses because of the fragrance, colors and the fact that they’re long-lasting blooms,” said Debbie Elliott, who manages annuals, perennials and houseplants at Delahunty Nurseries & Florist. “Once they start flowering, which is usually around June, they last right through to the frost.”

HIPPO | APRIL 27 - MAY 3, 2017 | PAGE 14

Varieties

Before you make the purchase, it’s important to assess what you’re looking for and where you’re looking to plant.

How much salt can your roses withstand, and what temperatures?

Hybrid tea roses are the most traditional roses, and are probably what you would have seen in older gardens. They’re upright shrubs that grow four to five feet tall, with flowers supported by long, upright stems.

Generally, these rose bushes contain fewer flowers than other varieties, but each flower is big. These are the kinds of roses bouquets are cut from, and they require a great deal of care.

Climbing roses are high-maintenance, too, crawling up trellises and the sides of buildings. Rosa rugosas, beach roses, are heartier plants that are less needy and more salt-tolerant, perfect for homes near salty roads or ocean air. Polyantha roses are short shrubs featuring small, clustered flowers.

But the most common roses sold in New Hampshire are Knock Outs, whose bushes are hearty enough for New England weather and are popping with flowers.

“The reason people like Knock Out roses is because of their disease-resistance and the fact they’re fairly prolific bloomers,” DeLisle said. “They’re really grown as a means to avoid having to use a lot of fungicides for some of the foliage diseases roses get.”

Pick your plot

A rookie mistake is choosing the wrong location. The ideal spot gets at least six to eight hours of uninterrupted sunlight, is protected from salty roads or strong winds

If you’re going to grow roses, the time to shop around and get planting is now through mid-May. Newer varieties are easier to care for than the older ones, but roses in general still require more work than other flowers.

It’s going to be an active experience.

If outdoor gardening isn’t an option for you, or if you just want to add some life and color to your home, consider starting an indoor container garden — a freestanding miniature garden with multiple types of plants potted in a single container.

“If you live in New England, it’s a must,” said Kim Thibault from House by the Side of the Road garden center in Wilton. “Business picks up immensely in the winter because it’s like a little getaway. You have a piece of green inside even when it’s white outside.”

What’s your type?

Charlie Cole of Cole Gardens in Concord said there are two types of indoor gardens: long-term and short-term. A longterm garden is one that you plan on making a permanent fixture in your home. It features plants that are hardy in an indoor environment and can survive through the winter, which can include flowering plants with a long bloom period like begonias, kalanchoes, African violets, orchids and peace lilies.

“Think of long-term plants like you would a piece of furniture or a painting on the wall,” Cole said. “Since they will be there longterm, you should focus on getting ones that are the right size and right color, and know where you want to put them.”

A short term garden has seasonal plants that provide instant color and fragrance but

do not last through the year, such as daffodils, tulips and azaleas. Once the flowers have waned, you can reuse your container garden and switch those plants out for new ones.

“You aren’t stuck with it all year long,” Cole said. “You can do a daffodil in the spring, then, once spring is over, you can do something that requires less sunlight, like a peace lily.”

Get it contained

To start an indoor container garden, you’ll first need to choose a container. It could be a glass jar, a piece of pottery, a decorative plastic pot, an antique heirloom or any other structure that fits your home decor and is appropriate for the size you want the garden to be.

Maintenance

den with the plants — if you don’t want to do that, I wouldn’t suggest getting a rose bush,” Jacobs said. “You should tend to it at least once a week if not more often.”

Maintenance also involves monthly fertilizing (using soil test results or a special rose fertilizer), mulching, watering, pest control (Japanese beetles, rose beetles and aphids) and pruning. (Though, different kinds of rose plants require different kinds of pruning, so it’s best to check with an expert before making any major snips; in general, you should prune more in the spring, when plants are less susceptible to injuries, said DeLisle.)

Many need to be winterized — like climbing roses, which should be taken off trellises, placed on the ground and covered with shredded leaves or evergreens.

“The rose family is such a big family,” DeLisle said. “For someone who’s just starting out, it’s a good idea to look at rose catalogs or at online resources. Spend time studying those to figure out what type of rose will work best for your situation.”

and is perched on a plot of soil with good drainage.

Good sunlight ensures rain and dew evaporate quickly from petals, discouraging fungal diseases, and proper drainage will prevent “wet feet,” which roses won’t tolerate, said Nettie Rynearson, recently retired owner of the former Uncanoonuc Mt. Perennials in Goffstown. She also advised planting roses far from plants they’d be competing against for root space.

Soil with organic matter (compost, mulch) is best, which will help plants conserve moisture without becoming soggy. The ideal pH level is between 6 and 7; you can get yours tested through UNH Cooperative Extension.

45 High Road, Lee, 659-2993, bedrockgardens.org What: The property of what is now Bedrock Gardens was once a family-run dairy farm dating back to the 18th century. Over the last 30 years, it has transformed into a garden featuring a wide diversity of trees, shrubs and flowers, like lady slipper orchids, azaleas and more. Separate art tours are also held for its vast collection of sculptures made from repurposed farm equipment.

When it’s open for tours: Garden tours will be held the third Saturday of the month, at 10:30 a.m. and at 1 p.m., from May through September. Garden art tours will be held on the third Saturday and Sunday of the month at 1 p.m., also from May through September.

Cost: Public self-guided tours are free admission, but registration is encouraged and donations are accepted. Private tours can also be booked for larger groups that are scheduled outside of the tour dates.

What to check out: The property features 23 different distinct points of interest with opportunities to visit each one during a tour.

You can check out the Funnel Garden, which is heavily planted with beautiful perennials, shrubs and trees during the season, or the “Shrubaria,” a garden of shrubs and rhododendrons under a canopy of oak trees.

Hobson Jandebeur, a docent at Bedrock Gardens, said each of the tours provides a short history of how the property has developed over time to its present state as flower and recycled art garden.

“Myself and two other people do the tours, and each has a different perspective on what they are looking at,” he said. “Later in the season when everything is fruiting, there is a whole different subject to talk about as well.”

When it’s open for tours: Sunday, June 25, noon to 4 p.m. Copies of Barbour’s new cookbook Beautifully Delicious: Cooking with Herbs and Edible Flowers will be available for sale and signing during the tour.

Cost: Free What to check out: Barbour is known for combining different types of flowers and herbs in the same environment and showcasing unique ways to integrate them into several of her most popular recipes. Behind her house is the part of her garden she calls the “edible landscape,” which is always filled with flowers and baby greens.

Maple Hill Gardens

117 Ridge Road, Hollis, 465-7787, beaverbrook.org What: On the grounds of the Beaver Brook Association, the Maple Hill Gardens are maintained by a group of volunteers and feature a wide variety of herbs and perennials.

When it’s open for tours: Self-guided

Liz Barbour’s Edible Gardens

5 Broad St., Hollis, 321-5011, thecreativefeast.com What: Chef Liz Barbour of The Creative Feast in Hollis created a cottage garden in front of her home where dozens of flowers, herbs, vegetables and perennials can be found. The garden is about a third of an acre and includes everything from begonias and daylilies to tulips, peonies and lavender.

tours are available seven days a week from dawn until dusk, now through September.

Personal tours can also be scheduled by calling the Association.

Cost: Free What to check out: Garden manager Paula Babel said visitors will find several themes at Maple Hill Gardens, with many of the more unique perennials making their appearances during the early spring. Check out Alice’s Rockery, which has bleeding hearts, wild blue phloxes, white wood asters and more. Other gardens that are great for viewing later in the year are the Autumn Garden and the Drying Gardens, which feature tall grasses and hydrangeas. The Hedge Garden, with its best viewing times from late May to mid-June, has purple irises, peonies, cranesbills and more.

Petals in the Pines

126 Baptist Road, Canterbury, 783-0220, petalsinthepines.com What: Petals in the Pines has 26 different themed gardens and grows hundreds of varieties of flowers, including several native plants that grow on the property naturally.

You can find daffodils in the spring, peonies and other perennials in the early summer and snapdragons, zinnias and sunflowers in the late summer and early fall.

When it’s open for tours: Daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., from June through early September Cost: $5 suggested donation per person, or $80 per group of as many people as you want What to check out: Owner Donna Miller said new themes are put into the gardens every year. Check out some more kid-friendly gardens like the Peter Rabbit Garden, which is designed around the popular children’s book of the same name, or the Fairy Garden, which includes fairy houses made

from natural materials. Other favorites include the Rainbow Garden, which contains a whole rainbow of colors from different annuals and perennials in season.

“People get a map when they come with descriptions of each garden, and start their path and go around to see everything that is here,” she said. “They can come on their own or in groups. … It’s a great place for garden clubs or women’s groups or even scout groups to attend.”

Tarbin Gardens

321 Salisbury Road, Franklin, 934-3518, tarbingardens.com What: Tarbin Gardens has more than five acres of land, featuring English landscape-style gardens with a diverse variety of native and exotic trees, shrubs and perennials. You’ll find different types of flowers that are in bloom depending on the time of year that you visit, like magnolias, lilacs, crabapples or rhododendrons in the early spring, or peonies, foxgloves, roses and more during the summer months.

When it’s open for tours: Public tours are available Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., beginning May 2 and continuing through early September Cost: $8.50 for adults, $7 for children 4 and up, students and seniors, or a $25 maximum per family. Season passes are also available for $50 per person or $75 per family What to check out: There are several different kinds of viewing areas, like the Formal Garden, which contains begonias, fuchsias and hemlock seedlings, the Catalpa Garden, where you’ll find a blooming display of spring bulbs in early May and foxgloves, campanulas and more in the summer, and the Mother’s Day Garden, which has benches for viewing and relaxing underneath the canopy of a large willow tree.

daffodils and tulips, which won’t require long-term care; cacti and succulents, both of which require little water; and house-hardy plants like peace lilies and African violets, which can survive in a home without a lot of sunlight.

“People will put a cactus with a regular plant … then say, ‘This didn’t survive,’” Thibault said. “You have to keep plants together that live in the same kind of environment. Otherwise you’ll have one growing plant but you’ll cook the other one.”

15 main styles of container gardens: fillers, which include regular sized plants; thrillers, which include larger, more showy plants; and spillers, which include plants that cascade over the edge of the container.

You can also put your plants in separate pots and line them up in a container to look like they are all potted together. That way, if one plant dies, or if you want to replace or reposition a plant, you can easily take it out without having to uproot and replant the whole container.

When choosing a container, you should also consider any decorative accessories that you want to add to your garden.

“You could put a unique rock or a shell on top of the soil,” Thibault said. “Or, if you plant the plants loosely enough, you can put [decorative pieces] in the soil and have them stick out.”

Thibault said terrariums in which you can construct your own miniature landscape have been growing in popularity, and so have fairy gardens, which are designed with tiny, detailed accessories to create a small-scale whimsical world.

“You can add little gravel walkways and little fairy ponds,” she said. “I know people who even make their own fairy furniture.

There’s a ton you can do with it.”

Pick your plants

Once you decide whether you want a longterm or short-term garden and you pick out a container, it’s time to select your plants.

The most important thing, Cole said, is to choose plants that fit your lifestyle.

“Don’t buy a plant just because you like it.

You may like a certain plant, but if it needs light and your house doesn’t get any natural sunlight, [the plant] is not going to do well,” he said. “You’ll have a better chance at succeeding if you think about your location, the plant’s light requirements and if the plant’s watering frequency suits your schedule.”

After you narrow the selection down to plants that will thrive in your home, look for plant varieties with similar sunlight and watering needs. For example, Cole said, you can combine ephemeral flowers like

You should do some research on how big your plants will grow.

“You don’t want to cram too many plants into a container,” Cole said. “Make sure you give them some space, because once they start to grow, it can get overcrowded very quickly.”

Look for potting soil that is geared toward indoor container plants, as opposed to garden soil, which is used for outdoor gardening. A traditional potting soil will work for most plants, but be aware that there are some plants, such as orchids, that require a soil with more drainage.

If the container you’ve chosen doesn’t have drainage holes, or if you tend to overwater your plants, put some small rocks in the bottom of the container before adding the soil.

“It’s never a bad idea to include rocks,” Cole said. “That way the soil isn’t sitting in water and keeping the plant wet longer than necessary.”

How deep the root ball goes into the soil varies per plant and is usually specified with the plant’s instructions. As a rule of thumb, Cole said, leave a half-inch of space between the top of the soil and the lip of the container so that when you water the plant, there is some space for the water to collect. Finally push the soil in around the plant, not too tightly, but tightly enough so that water won’t immediately drain down to the bottom of the container.

There are two main ways to tell that your plant needs watering: the soil is dry to the touch, or the container feels lighter than usual. When you go to water the plant, check to see if it’s drooping or leaning to one side, and rotate the container if needed. Plants will always lean in the direction of the sunlight.

Lastly, if you notice any broken stems or limp leaves or flowers, pull them off.

“Don’t be scared to prune as necessary,” Cole said. “They’re plants; they will grow back.”

While outdoor gardens often require less maintenance during peak growing season, the fickleness of New England weather for most of the year can make an indoor garden seem more appealing.

“Many people find it easier to garden indoors than outdoors because they can control the environment,” Cole said. “You can still make it a true little garden and take care of it like a regular garden inside your home.”

ARTS Melancholic state

Theatre KAPOW takes on Melancholy Play

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippoprss.com

What does melancholy actually mean?

Sad? Mournful? Pensive? All three?

It’s a question the cast of Melancholy Play: A Chamber Musical has been mulling over for weeks while preparing for theatre Kapow’s production at the Derry Opera House April 28 through May 6.

“It’s not depression. It’s melancholy. It’s a different state,” said actress Candace Gatzoulis during a recent rehearsal. “This idea of melancholy has been really, really hard for me to put my finger on. How can you explore sadness without deep sadness?”

The topic’s at the center of Sarah Ruhl’s piece, first presented in 2002 at the Piven Theatre in Illinois as a straight play until composer Todd Almond set it to music in 2012. It follows a melodramatic bank teller, Tilly, whose melancholy causes every stranger she meets to fall in love with her — until one day, when she becomes inexplicably happy, wreaking havoc on her friends’ lives. Her hairdresser, Francis, delves into such a deep state of melancholy she turns into an almond.

Melancholy Play: A Chamber Musical Where: Derry Opera House, 29 W. Broadway, Derry When: Friday, April 28, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, April 29, at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, April 30, at 2 p.m.; Friday, May 5, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, May 6, at 7:30 p.m.

Admission: $20 Contact: tkapow.com

“I think the play deals with the concept of happiness in an interesting way. I think that word always has a positive connotation, but I think we’ve all been in a situation where we’ve been a little resentful of someone else’s happiness, and I think this play articulates that really well,” said Jimmy Stewart, who plays Frank.

Yes, the play contains elements of absurdity. At one point, there’s a physical fight over a vial of Tilly’s tears. But at its core is profound truthfulness, which is what drew actress Emily Karel to the show.

“Sarah Ruhl is one of my favorite contemporary playwrights. I wanted to audition, even though I hadn’t been in a

musical in a really long time,” Karel said.

“She has a unique way of expressing a feeling or a state of being with her language, and this musical, I think more than a traditional musical, feels very intimate. There’s a rawness, a beauty and vulnerability that I think audiences will appreciate.”

The text didn’t change at all while transitioning from a play to a musical. The only difference is that now, some of the lines — particularly the emotionally charged ones — are sung instead of spoken. There’s a lot of depth in plot and character, which can be difficult to translate while singing.

“To be in an emotionally conflicted state … and then sing is quite a challenge

23 Art

to me because I haven’t done it in such a long time,” said Wayne Asbury, who plays Lorenzo. “Usually when you’re in that state of sadness [on stage], you’re able to sink into yourself. And singing requires you to do the opposite, to really open up and share that with the audience.”

Theatre Kapow, whose Season 9 theme is “Hear, Here,” typically tackles straight plays, no music. But the board liked Melancholy Play and felt that to do it justice, they’d need to go with the chamber musical, which isn’t performed often because of its difficulty; you need to find people who can sing, and hold their own in five-part harmonies.

They found Stewart (Frank), Asbury (Lorenzo), Sheree Owens (Joan), Gatzoulis (Tilly) and Karel (Frances). Musical director is Blake Leister, and performing alongside the group is the New Hampshire Philharmonic string quartet.

Melancholy Play was never on Broadway or off-Broadway, and so there was little to go on beforehand. All the production elements are new theatre Kapow interpretations. Theatre Kapow director and cofounder Matt Cahoon said this version is stripped down, taking place on the Derry Opera House floor within a 17-foot-by-17-foot square that, over the course of the show, transforms into a therapist’s office, a tailor shop, an apartment. He thinks audiences will relate to the characters and the messages about depression and melancholy.

“A lot of this show is about kind of recognizing when people are in a bad way or a tough place, and doing what [you can] do to support them and take care of them,” Cahoon said.

Notes from the theater scene

• Not a novel: The Community Players of Concord presents Other Desert Cities, a searing drama by Jon Robin Baitz, at the Concord City Auditorium, 2 Prince St., Concord, Friday, May 5, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, May 6, at 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, May 7, at 2 p.m., as part of Capital Arts Fest. The play premiered at the Lincoln Center, was on Broadway for seven months and was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize. It takes place in the upscale Palm Springs home of Lyman and Polly Wyeth, who were highly regarded in old Hollywood circles and admired for their service to the Republican party and their friendship with Ron and Nancy Reagan — but their political views aren’t shared by their children, who are in town for a rare visit at Christmas. Their daughter Brooke has brought home her soon-to-be published manuscript, which isn’t a novel as they all thought, but a memoir that exposes her version of the secrets held by this prominent family. Baitz is also a screenwriter whose credits include The West Wing, Alias and Brothers & Sisters. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors and students. Visit communityplayersofconcord.org.

Navigating the Mortgage Maze How Much Home Can I Qualify For and Afford?

Before you even begin looking at homes, you should find out how much loan you qualify for. Your mortgage professional can guide you through the process.

They will ask you income, asset and monthly expense questions. As you move toward formal pre-qualification, the questions will get more detailed.

There are 2 situations that often come up: 1) I qualify for more house than I wish to pay monthly 2) I think I can pay more than I am qualified for If you are going to pick one I would say #1, but keep in mind you don’t want to be living just to make the mortgage payment. Only you know what your monthly expenses really are, above and beyond what shows up on your credit report, and how much you can afford to pay monthly for your new home.

What program should I consider?

Conventional fixed rate, Adjustable rate, FHA, VA, USDA …There are so many programs today and a good mortgage professional will discuss your situation. How long will you live there? Is your income likely to increase?

Maybe your family size is changing and someone will come out of the work force. These are only some of the factors. Several options should be offered and then discussed as to how best they fit into your plan. There may be restrictions and certain requirements for each. A seasoned mortgage professional can help you review and explain the benefits or drawbacks of each to be sure you select the best program for your situation.

potential buyers!

Today most home sellers will only consider you a serious buyer if you’re pre-qualified. In fact, most real estate agents won’t begin working with you if you’re not already pre-qualified. A pre-qualification involves an assessment of your financial situation with a mortgage professional to discuss your options.

Finding Your New Home:

You are now ready to get out there, find your dream home, and start negotiating an offer to purchase. I recommend working with a good real estate agent. One who will not only help you find a property but who will also work with you to structure your offer and negotiate terms to make the home affordable. Once you have a purchase agreement signed and agreed by all parties, you should forward it to your mortgage professional. Having a contract in place now allows you to start the formal mortgage application process.

Discover WILD New Hampshire Day returns

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Explore all that the outdoors has to offer at New Hampshire Fish and Game’s 27th annual Discover WILD New Hampshire Day, which features wildlife presentations, scavenger hunts, fishing rod casts, archery and BB gun demonstrations and more.

The rain-or-shine event will be held on the department’s grounds in Concord on Saturday, April 29, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“It’s a fun and educational event about how people can be connected to life outdoors,” said Mark Beauchesne, advertising and promotions coordinator for New Hampshire Fish and Game.

Beauchesne said the event first started specifically as an Earth Day celebration but has expanded over the years to include representatives from several types of outdoor and conservation-based organizations.

They will appear as exhibitors showcasing informational booths and offering demonstrations. It is New Hampshire Fish and Game’s largest annual community event, drawing close to 10,000 visitors each year.

27th annual Discover WILD New Hampshire Day When: Saturday, April 29, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

More than 100 local exhibitors are expected to attend for the duration of the festival. Longtime participants include the state Department of Agriculture, the state division of the Appalachian Mountain Club and the state Department of Environmental Services. But other non-government organizations like the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center and the New Hampshire Falconers Association also come to set up shop.

“Most [of the exhibitors] have some sort of educational component that they bring to their booths,” Beauchesne said, “or they might offer hands-on activities or some sort of craft project. The Falconers Association, for example, will bring live birds of prey and talk

about different types of species, so that’s always one of the more popular exhibits.”

Another highlight for this year’s festival will be an appearance by cast members of the Animal Planet television series North Woods Law: New Hampshire. The show premiered in early March and follows the daily duties of several Fish and Game conservation officers.

Kids are invited to participate in a scavenger hunt for a chance to win fun takeaways that is meant to also be educational in nature.

“When they first walk into the festival, they’ll get a form with questions to answer that the exhibitors provided about their missions,” Beauchesne said, “and their task is to find the exhibitor that can answer that question and they’ll get a stamp

and provide a fun time for all.

Beauchesne said the festival is a great time for kids and families of all ages.

“It’s definitely a family outing,” he said. “You might see older teens or high school-aged kids coming who may be interested in this type of outdoors work in the future, so this is actually a great opportunity for some one-on-one time with some of these organizations to ask them questions.”

The exhibitors will be in large tents in the event of inclement weather.

Getting the blues How to prune your blueberries

HIPPO | APRIL 27 - MAY 3, 2017 | PAGE 30

I recently spent half a day helping a friend prune her blueberries. Some rows hadn’t been tended to in a couple of years or more and had gotten very bushy and overgrown. It is very satisfying work, knowing that bushes will produce better and be easier to pick once they have been pruned.

The first thing I did was cut out branches that had flopped over and were spread out in the walkways. It is important for both pickers and mowers to be able to go up and down the rows easily. I didn’t just cut off the ends of the intruding branches, I cut them back to their points of origin near the center of the bushes, just above the soil line.

To do that, I used some nice geared loppers made by Fiskars to cut back the thick stems that were in the way. These geared loppers are 32 inches long and have a mechanical advantage built in which facilitates cutting stems up to an inch and a half without straining. The long handles meant I didn’t have to crawl into the bush to get to the base of a stem.

One note about spacing of blueberry bushes: gardeners often try to pack as many plants into a space as possible.

Don’t. Crowding blueberries makes working in them more difficult. Space rows 10 feet apart at planting time. That might seem excessive, but it will be a big help later. The minimum space between plants should be six feet, and eight feet is even better.

After clearing out walking space, I went down the rows with my hand pruners. I removed all dead branches. These have no fruit buds and are gray and flakey. Follow the branch back to its point of origin and cut back there. Some branches that appear dead have live side branches on them that you may want to keep.

It’s important to be able to quickly differentiate between fruit buds and leaf buds. A fruit bud is fat and somewhat round. A leaf bud is smaller, and is narrow and pointy.

A branch that is dominated by leaf buds is less valuable to you than one that has lots of fruit buds, though the fruit buds also produce leaves — and a cluster of berries. If you see no fruit buds on a stem, prune it out.

What else? When deciding between two competing branches, remove the older, less vigorous branch and leave younger stems, which on blueberries often have a green or reddish color. Prune away branches that are damaged or rubbing against another branch.

In general, branches should grow out, away from the center of the bush. Branches that aim into the middle will eventually cause problems.

Fruit buds. Courtesy photo.

Blueberries sometimes develop a viral infection that causes “witches brooms.”

These are masses of fine twigs growing on one branch. Remove the entire thing and put it in the trash, or burn it.

Blueberries really are easy to grow. They need full sun, which means a minimum of six hours per day. But most importantly, they need very acidic soil. Now would be a good time to collect a soil sample and send it off for testing at your state Cooperative Extension laboratory. You can download the form online — Google “soil testing” and your state.

If your soil is not acidic enough, you can add elemental sulfur. This is fine for organic gardeners, too, as it is mined from the earth, not manufactured in a chemical plant. You can add sulfur anytime, just follow the directions on the package. If you use an acidic fertilizer described as good for acid-loving plants, spread that right after the bushes bloom in June.

Changing the soil pH may take you a number of years. It is better to add some this year, and again next year (and in later years) than to dump too much on at once.

Your ultimate goal is a pH in the range of 4.0 to 5.0. The scale is logarithmic, meaning that 4.0 is ten times more acidic than 5.0, and a hundred times more acidic than 6.0. Seven on the scale is neutral.

Many gardeners dread pruning, perhaps because they imagine cutting off branches as like removing limbs of a person or animal. Pruning is not. It’s more like getting a haircut. It is an essential part of maintaining a good-looking, productive plant. There is no deadline for when you must stop pruning, though the later you wait, the more buds will fall off as you work on the bushes — so get started soon!

Get used to pruning, and you will have more and better fruit. And for me, spending time outdoors in early spring is much more fun than being indoors on a computer.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, I have a question for you about my parents’ estate. I’ve read your column many times and now thought you might be able to help me out.

Both my parents have passed away and now I am the one who will have to liquidate their home items.

Most of the items are not what I would consider antiques but may be useful to someone else. How do I begin?

Beth from Claremont Dear Beth, I know you are not alone in your situation. It happens to most of us at some point. I’m sorry for your loss and that you now have to deal with not just the removal of years of memories but the actual job itself.

I think before you decide what is an antique or not, I would get a local dealer in your area to come in and do a walkthrough of the estate to determine that you don’t have any hidden treasures there (besides sentimental ones).

Most will do this at no charge unless

you need a written appraisal.

After the antiques person makes you aware of the contents, he might be interested in buying some items or could give you referrals — people who do home liquidations, estate sales, auctioneers and companies that will remove everything (though you would have to pay for the last one).

So determining what they had is the first step, and then go forward from there.

Make sure you are comfortable with whoever you deal with and that you choose the option that is best for you. It’s easy for anyone not involved to help but they are your memories and that makes this job hard.

Donna Welch has spent more than 20 years in the antiques and collectibles field and owns From Out Of The Woods Antique Center in Goffstown (fromoutofthewoodsantiques.com). She is an antiques appraiser and instructor. To find out about your antique or collectible, send a clear photo of the object and information about it to Donna Welch, From Out Of The Woods Antique Center, 465 Mast Road, Goffstown, N.H., 03045. Or email her at footwdw@aol. com. Or drop by the shop (call first, 6248668).

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Problematic new car sounds like a lemon Dear Car Talk: I want to ask you about my 2016 Chevy Malibu. From the day I drove it off the lot, I’ve had all kinds of issues: lights dimming, then working fine; one

By Ray Magliozzi speaker on the radio going out, then working fine; the Bluetooth working fine one day, then refusing to take my calls the next; the car jolting when I take off at a light or stop sign that is on a slight incline. It’s been in the shop so many times, I can’t fit the repair printouts in the glove box anymore and am now storing them in the trunk! A few months ago, they had to replace a rod (I think that’s what it was) in the brake system because it had rusted out, but they found that only after I took the car in three times, saying it was making a grinding noise all the time. First they said they couldn’t hear the grinding noise, then they said I needed a different-”style” tire, even though they’re the same ones that came on the car, and then I insisted they take apart the brake, and voila! Problem solved. The latest issue has been with my cruise control, which is the only thing between me and speeding tickets. Before the last “fix,” it sometimes worked fine, and

sometimes worked only after I drove at highway speed for a while. I hoped that fixing the brake rod thing would fix my cruise control, too, but nope. The last time the car was in the shop, my husband insisted that the mechanics replace the brake pedal pressure sensor, but that didn’t fix the problem either (thanks a lot, Google). In fact, now the cruise control works only when I put my toe under the brake pedal and hit the cruise control at the same time. I can’t take it back to the shop to face the withering looks from the mechanics.

Do we have a lemon? — T.J. It sure sounds like the brake pedal pressure sensor (which cancels the cruise control when you touch the brakes) is misadjusted. But if they’ve replaced it and adjusted it, then maybe you’ve got more serious electrical gremlins that no one’s found yet.

But before you mess around with the dealer any more, first investigate your state’s lemon law. States that have strong consumer protections often have good laws in place to protect consumers like you, who buy brandnew cars and have nothing but problems from the get-go. For instance, California’s lemon law says that if your new car is out of service for any reason for 30 days in the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, you can trigger the lemon law proceedings and force

the dealer to either fix the car completely, replace it or buy it back from you.

Other states’ laws are different. Massachusetts requires that the defect “substantially” impair the car’s use, resale value or safety. So you have to make the case that it does. States more friendly to business and less friendly to consumers may make it harder for you.

But it’s worth checking. So go online and see how your state’s new-car lemon law works. Find out how close you are to meeting the requirements, then write a registered letter to the dealer laying out how close you are to meeting the lemon law trigger, or if you’ve already met it. Usually, just the threat of a lemon law case (especially if you’re close to meeting the trigger) will cause a dealer to pay a whole lot more attention to getting your car fixed. And if they’re really unable to fix it, at least you’d be on your way to getting some restitution. You sound like you’ve had more than your share of problems with this brand-new car, and that’s exactly the kind of situation consumer laws like lemon laws are designed to address.

Dear Car Talk: I bought a used 2004 Ford F-150 XLT. I’ve read that whenever I want to order parts for this truck, I have to specify which model it

is: an F-150, or an F-150 Heritage. How can I figure out which one my truck is? — Steven Ford introduced a brand-new F-150 in the middle of the 2004 model year. But it had a bunch of old F-150s still lying around. So it called the new F-150 the “2004 F-150.”

And it called the old one the “2004 F-150 Heritage,” because that sounded better than “2004 F-150 Leftover.”

The best way to determine which one you have is by having someone decode your vehicle identification number. Every car has a VIN, which you can find by climbing up on your hood and reading the little metal plate that sits where the dashboard meets the windshield. Or, if you want to save yourself the trouble, just look for it on your vehicle registration. It has all kinds of information coded in it. It’ll tell you the year, the model, the engine size, the transmission, the drive ratio of the differential, even whether you got the salesman to throw in free floor mats.

So you can call or visit your local Ford dealer and ask the parts department to enter your VIN and see what you’ve got. If you go in person, and they’re in a good mood, they’ll probably give you the whole printout.

Or you can find websites online that will decode your VIN for you.

FOOD Take on the tacos

Hippo de Mayo returns to downtown Manchester

By Angie Sykeny

News from the local food scene

asykeny@hippopress.com

By Angie Sykeny

Thousands of taco-lovers will head to downtown Manchester on Thursday, May 4, for the world’s largest taco tour, the Hippo de Mayo Taco Challenge, featuring nearly 50 downtown restaurants selling unique $2 tacos they’ve created just for the event.

“We were looking for an event that would bring people out into downtown and into the streets,” said Hippo Publisher Jody Reese, who created the taco tour with his staff in 2009. “The time of year fit to do something with tacos. We looked around, and there was really nowhere else where they were doing organized taco tours, so we thought it would be a fun idea.”

During the five-hour event, people can walk to participating restaurants, trying tacos and voting on their favorites to win the People’s Choice Award. Restaurants will also be vying for a Judges’ Choice award, and both winners will receive $1,000 to benefit the charities of their choice.

These year’s participants include cafes

• Friendly competition: The Common Man restaurant family will host its Taste of the Common Man event on Thursday, May 4, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the Plymouth Common Man located at 231 Main St. The event will feature an Iron Chef-style competition with Common Man chefs, sampling tables and the finale to the spring Common Man Apprenticeship program in which Plymouth State University students will be scooping unique ice cream flavors that they created for the contest. Tickets cost $10 and will be available at the door as capacity allows or can be purchased in advance at the Plymouth Common Man or from a participating PSU student.

• Tea tidbits: Pelham Public Library (24 Village Green, Pelham, 635-7581, pelhampubliclibrary.org) will have a tea tasting program on Saturday, April 29, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Learn about the differences between well-known teas like Earl Gray, Darjeeling, Assam and Ceylon, and about tea’s history and future, its relationship with food and desserts and how to pair tea with food.

• Share the fish: New Hampshire Community Seafood has increased its membership capacity for the Community Supported Fishery to 1,000 members this year in an effort to keep commercial ground fishermen in business. Owned by fishermen and consumers, the CSF cooperative buys fish directly from New Hampshire fishermen, fillets and portions it into half-pound, pound and two-pound packages and distributes it to members weekly via 20 different pickup locations throughout New Hampshire and north Massachusetts. Shares are offered in 8-week, 15-week and 30-week sessions and include “Catch of the Week” fish such as redfish, plaice, cod, haddock, yellowtail flounder, winter flounder, pollock, whiting, monkfish, hake, or dogfish. In addition to the regular fish share, members can opt to receive extra fish, New Hampshire lobster, lobster ravioli and Great Bay oysters. The cost ranges from $80 to $185 for an 8-week session, $130 to $375 for a 15-week session, and $225 to $740 for a 30-week session, depending on the size of the share.

and delis, pubs and diners, farm-to-table and vegan eateries, candy and ice cream shops, steakhouses and seafood restaurants and a variety of ethnic restaurants including Greek, Italian, Mexican, Brazilian, Indian, Hungarian, Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese.

“If you think about it, a taco is just a piece of bread with stuff in it,” Reese said. “That’s the nice part about it. It’s very versatile. Every culture has a taco.”

Taco tourists can look forward to several first-time participating restaurants this year, including recently opened restaurants like

vegan juicery and cafe Milk & Honey and apothecary-inspired eatery Restoration Cafe, as well as some well-established restaurants like Piccola Italia Ristorante, which is in its 16th year of business.

“Every year, I thought, ‘But we don’t sell tacos here.’ ... I didn’t see the fun part about it,” said John Paolini, owner of Piccola.

His chef, Heather Pelletier, who joined the Piccola team last September, prompted his change of heart.

“I’ve gone to Taco Tour before, and I always thought of it as a fun kind of chaos,” Pelletier said, “so it was exciting to hear that [Paolini] hadn’t done it before. I thought it’d be nice for our clientele to see us do something new.”

“So this year I said, ‘Let’s do it. Let’s have some fun,’” Paolini said.

Piccola will feature a chicken Parmesan taco — a breaded fried chicken cutlet with sauce and shredded cheese inside a hard taco shell, and a Caesar salad mix sprinkled on top. The idea was inspired by one of Piccola’s kitchen workers who often makes himself a chicken Parmesan sub with a bit of Caesar on top. Pelletier said it’s the perfect taco to repre-

With so many tacos being featured that day, it can be hard for restaurants to make their taco stand out.

“For me, the flavors need to blend, and it’s got to have a little crunch to it,” Reese said of what makes a memorable taco for him. “[Restaurants] should mix different textures and get a little freshness in there with whatever that may be.”

To make the most of your taco tour experience, Reese said, do some research beforehand and go in with a plan; map out eight to 10 places with tacos you want to try and tackle those places. Also, don’t be afraid to branch out into the outskirts of the taco tour map or you could be missing out on some fabulous tacos.

“People tend to congregate in the Lowell Street-Elm Street area, which is great, but I strongly suggest hitting the outer areas first,” Reese said. “Once you hit those, it’s easy to come in and hit Elm Street, but you’re getting some geographic diversity in there.”

“We sell a lot of chicken Parm. It’s a staple in the Italian world.” she said. “When you go out [for Italian food], that’s one of the things you think of.”

Those who didn’t try the Judges’ Choice winning taco last year will have a chance to this year as Mediterranean restaurant Campo Enoteca brings back its eggplant polpetti taco, made with eggplant, artichoke white bean purée and pico de gallo pepper relish.

Peter Macone, operational manager for Campo Enoteca and farm-to-table restaurant Republic, also a taco tour participant, said the tacos allow the restaurants to highlight the styles of cuisine featured on their menus; for Campo, the eggplant is a common special and the relish is used as a garnish on its artichoke small bites. Republic’s falafel taco is inspired by the restaurant’s vegan-friendly menu, which includes a falafel plate, and has a homemade tahini dressing and red cabbage slaw that can be found with Republic’s chickpea ragu dish.

“We may not have tacos on the menu regularly, but everything in our [Taco Challenge] taco is a piece of one of our dishes and can be found somewhere on the menu,” Macone said. “We take different flavors from our menu and say, ‘These will go great together.’”

Fire and Fusion Executive Chef Competition. Courtesy photo.

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Eight executive chefs from local hospitals and health care facilities will go head to head and showcase their culinary creativity at the fifth annual Fire and Fusion Executive Chef Competition, happening Wednesday, May 3, at the Alpine Grove Banquet Facility in Hollis.

Following a format similar to that of the Food Network program Chopped, Fire and Fusion invites competing chefs to take part in a timed cooking challenge using five mystery ingredients, all in front of a live audience.

“A lot of people watch the show [Chopped] and are intrigued by how the chefs come up with this stuff,” said Judy Porter, development director for the Nashua Senior Activity Center, which is hosting the event. “I think the attendees enjoy coming out to taste all these interesting foods and to see what the local chefs can come up with.”

The evening begins with a cocktail hour featuring more than 400 hors d’oeuvres prepared by the competing chefs. The chefs are encouraged to bring globally inspired cuisine and decorate their booths as part of this year’s theme, “Flavors of the World.” Guests will have a chance to meet the chefs, sample the hors d’oeuvres and vote for their favorites to win the People’s Choice award.

After the cocktail hour, the mystery ingredients will be unveiled as the live competition gets underway.

The chefs will have 30 minutes to create

an original dish utilizing all five ingredients.

The ingredients typically consist of one meat and some uncommon items; last year’s ingredients included chicken thighs, starfruit and ube, a Filipino purple yam.

“One chef took the ube and made these little pancakes out of it,” Porter said. “I was so impressed that someone could be so creative and know what to do with an ingredient like that.”

This year’s Fire and Fusion will be the first to feature four ingredients sourced from local farms in an effort to promote New Hampshire’s farm-to-table scene. Those farms will also be introduced and highlighted at the event.

“It’s our attempt to show that buying local can be really good, and that there are some great farms in the state with amazing products,” Porter said. “I think that part will be of huge interest to people.”

The competition will be hosted by Mike Morin, co-host of The Chef’s Plate — A Taste of New England on WBIN TV, and shown with close-up shots on two large screens so guests can get a better look at the action.

When the 30 minutes is up, each chef will present his or her dish to a panel of judges, which will include Chef Nicole Barreira of Great NH Restaurants, Nashua Telegraph writer Kathleen Palmer, and co-host of The Chef’s Plate Helen Ryba. Once the judges have tasted and scored each dish, the scores will be tabulated to reveal the Fire and Fusion 2017 Top Chef, and ballots will be counted to determine the People’s Choice winner. Winners will receive an award plaque and gift certificates to various local restaurants and hotels.

“There is this perception that health care food is not high quality, but that has changed drastically over the years,” Porter said. “This really highlights the evolution of culinary skill and creativity in the health-care arena, and hopefully once people taste the food, they’ll see that it’s as good as the food at highend restaurants.”

WITH BRUCE BARNES

When Chef Bruce Barnes and his life partner Jeff Brechbühl took ownership of Colby Hill Inn (33 The Oaks, Henniker, 4283281, colbyhillinn.com) a little over a year ago, their goal was to highlight the inn as a dining destination. Barnes said cooking has been a passion of his for as long as he can remember.

He opened his first restaurant in New York City when he was 23 before eventually relocating to Washington, D.C., where he was instrumental in the menu development and opening of the cafe at the National Museum of the American Indian, and worked as a chef at the World Bank for nine years, where he was exposed to an array of global cuisines. Much of the menu at the inn’s restaurant, The Grazing Room, is influenced by Barnes’ time at the World Bank. The restaurant’s concept is to marry globally inspired cuisine with seasonal, locally sourced farm-to-table ingredients.

What is your must-have kitchen item?

I guess it’d be my immersion blender. It’s a hand blender used for mixing sauces and things. Also, a wood-burning grill.

say, but right now we have an amazing sweet pea risotto with day boat scallops, and a carrot spätzle with hedgehog mushrooms. … I love working with mushrooms and fresh day boat fish.

What would you choose for your last meal?

What celebrity would you like to see eatWhat is your favorite meal to cook at ing at your restaurant? home?

I’d love to see Anthony Bourdain. I just I really love global cuisine, so every now think he’s an awesome chef, and I love his and then I’ll make a dish at home that I can’t restaurants in New York City. put on the restaurant menu because it’s a little wild, like a Filipino kare-kare or an Indian What is your favorite thing on your menu? curry with lamb, chickpeas and spinach.

Green Pea Risotto From the kitchen of Bruce Barnes 2 cups fresh peas blanched until bright green 1 cup blanched spinach 1 bunch fresh mint 8 cups chicken 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling ¼ cup finely chopped shallots 2 cups Arborio rice 1 cup dry white wine Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons butter, room temperature ½ cup grated Parmesan 1 pound diver scallops Put 1 cup peas, spinach, and mint plus 1/3 cup chicken stock into a blender and blend until smooth; set aside. Place large, deep skillet over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons olive oil.

Add shallots and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until soft. Stir in rice; coat all the rice grains

with the oil. Add wine and cook until most liquid has evaporated. Ladle in 1 cup of hot stock.

Using a wooden spoon, stir gently until most stock has been absorbed. Keep adding stock, a cup at a time, and stirring. After about 10 to 15 minutes, test rice. It should be cooked and creamy but still have a slight bite. (You may not need all of the stock.) Season with salt and pepper. Stir in butter and Parmesan. Gently fold in pea puree and remaining cup of peas. Taste for seasoning. Remove from heat and cover while searing scallops. Set a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Pat scallops with paper towels until very dry. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Add scallops to pan, making sure not to overcrowd, and cook until they are nicely browned on both sides, about 4 to 8 minutes. Check risotto and add a bit more stock if it has gotten too thick. In a shallow bowl or plate, make a mound of risotto and top with 3 or 4 scallops. Garnish with spring green salad, Parmesan and olive oil. Serve immediately.

Outrageous potatoes My husband’s family loves to name their dishes with superlatives. With the straightest of faces they’ll proclaim they’re bringing the “Beautiful Beets” to Thanksgiving this year or the “Golden Lasagna” for someone’s birthday. It’s wonderfully endearing since all of these recipes have been in their family for years. The recipes themselves serve about 20 since my husband’s family is huge! This week, when I noticed my chives already popping up in my garden, I immediately thought of their “Outrageous Potatoes.” I surely have enough to serve at least 20 with all the chives in my garden!

In the same genus as onions, shallots and garlic, chives are naturally aromatic. While they are milder than the rest, just a little can add a nice flavor to a dish. They are quite hardy — I bought and planted chives from my local farmers market three years ago, Outrageous potatoes 12 medium potatoes, peeled, cooked and mashed (russet, red or white are best) 8 ounces softened cream cheese 1 cup sour cream ½ cup chives, chopped

and they just keep coming back. In fact, they’ve spread quite a bit and took over a section of my garden! I love that they are popping up already because they are a promise of warmer weather to come and I can’t wait.

Chives look almost like thick grass and later in the summer will develop a beautiful purple flower. The flower reminds me of clover and is actually lovely to grill with. I distributed the petals over some salmon on the grill last year and the result was wonderful (and colorful).

Chives don’t stand alone; they’re just too small. But they are great to add to salads, on top of baked potatoes, in “outrageous” potatoes (like the recipe below) or in fish or chicken dishes. If you’ve got a quarter of the chives I do, you’re going to need to experiment! — Allison Willson Dudas 2 garlic cloves, crushed Salt and pepper Mix ingredients together in large bowl.

Cinco de Mayo is next week, along with the Hippo de Mayo taco tour. You’re going to need something to wash down all those tacos, and margaritas are a great option.

While I really like margaritas, I don’t like all the sugar that’s in them. Some restaurants make a version with just tequila, triple sec and lime juice, but others use a sugary sour mix that is also famous for causing bellyaches. To avoid all this sweetness, I like to make margaritas at home so I know exactly what is in them.

Last year I went to Texas and discovered moonshine there (which in this case was just alcohol made from cactus that they classified as moonshine). The distillery that made it also made orange liqueur moonshine, and now this is what I use in my margaritas instead of triple sec. I am savoring the bottle because I have not been able to find something similar here in New Hampshire.

Below are my two tried and true recipes for homemade sour mix and a basic homemade margarita. The best thing about these is that you can adjust them according to your own personal taste.

Homemade Sour Mix

First, you need to make simple syrup from sugar and water. I cut the recipe from three cups of sugar to two cups of sugar mixed with three cups water. Boil this combination until the sugar is completely dissolved. (You could use sugar substitutes like Splenda, though the proportions may be different). Let it cool in whatever container you prefer. Once it’s cooled, add two cups unsweetened lime juice (I do not recommend Rose’s as it is already sweetened) and two cups lemon juice. You now have homemade sour mix. Adjust it to your taste as needed; it may be too tart for your liking.

More water can be added to dilute the mix.

You can also add more sugar later, depending on the drink recipe.

For what would be considered a “house” margarita at most bars and restaurants, combine the sour mix with tequila, triple sec/orange liqueur and a few freshly squeezed lime wedges. I typically use three or four parts mix to two parts tequila and one part triple sec, but again this is all personal preference. Sometimes I even like to add a dash of salt. For a frozen margarita, add this recipe to a blender with a few ice cubes and enjoy. You can also add a salt or

This week’s wine tasting: Ruffino Chardonnay

If you have read my column before, you know that chardonnay is not my favorite wine — mainly oaked chardonnay from California. For some reason, it just does not agree with my palate. However, I do enjoy a nice glass of unoaked Italian chardonnay.

I first discovered Italian chardonnay while working at a restaurant with an all Italian food and wine list. When customers ordered it, we made sure to tell them that it was unlike the common California chardonnay so they weren’t surprised when it arrived.

This week, I tried Ruffino Unoaked Italian Chardonnay from Tuscany. This wine is nothing like its California counterpart.

While it really has its own characteristics, it is more like a pinot grigio but is less acidic. Without being aged in an oak barrel, the chardonnay grape is fresh, clean and crisp, with notes of apple, sage and figs.

Ruffino introduced this wine in the 1980s and at the time it was very unconventional not to age the grape in oak. However, it shows a different and in many ways less common side of chardonnay, one that has minerality and crispness without the oaky and buttery notes that the oak barrel imparts.

I enjoyed this wine on its own, but it would go well with light pasta dishes and seafood like broiled fish.

This wine is available in New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets (and as a bonus, it is only about $10 a bottle). But if you cannot find Ruffino specifically and want to try Italian chardonnay, take a look at the label and the description and it should say whether or not it has been oaked (California chardonnay is almost always oaked).

The Obsessed, Sacred (Relapse Records)

The genre designation “doom metal” is one way of saying “stuff that sounds like old Black Sabbath,” but no one has the basics down as much as this band, led up by Scott “Wino” Weinrich, whose voice was a dead ringer for vintage Ozzy Osborne, warts and all. A Maryland native, he’s been getting away with this Ozzy soundalike business since 1979, fronting (as guitarist/singer) both this band and Saint Vitus, the latter of which, as SST Records’ token metal signing, were basically that label’s metaphorical head on a pike, a constant reminder that corporate arena-rock could always reassemble itself and come back to send the punk rockers scampering back to the drawing board. Thirty-five-plus years into this act, which has seen many ups and downs, Wino still wants to rawk oldschool, but this record isn’t (totally) a collection of “Sabbath or Not Sabbath” trivia quizzes. On “Razor Wire,” a mid-speed raunch-n-blues exercise that sounds lifted from the Molly Hatchet playbook, he relies more on Ronnie Van Zant rasping than Ozzy nasality, while his vocals on the Motorhead-spazzing “Punk Crusher” will make you think of Glenn Hughes (yes, there are certain older hard-rock nerds who still get wildly excited at that reference). Nothing out of place here, more a time-card punch than anything, but really, you weren’t expecting more than that I hope. B- — Eric W. Saeger

I have to laugh about this one.

Music-reviewing can be such a lonely undertaking these days, what with 10,000 new albums coming out every day, and you end up feeling like you’re missing the boat on some obscure band or trend or whatever. But catching one of our own red-handed with a goof is — well, it’s awesome. Case in point: this album, from a coed indie band from Austin, Texas, has been getting a ton of mileage from a rave writeup from Gerard Cosloy, who I used to think was King of All Music Reviewers. He absolutely wigged about this band, referring to their scattershot emo/Pavement/Iggy/Led Zeppelin approach in the glowingest of terms. I sort of sat back after listening to this LP and had to let that sink in. Man, Gerard’s gotten old! Has he forgotten about the Pixies and Black Lips? I mean, that’s what this amounts to, either of those two bands, upfitted with Drive Like Jehu’s strain of punk rabies. College radio is going to flip out over this, but Now You Know The Rest of the Story. You’re oh so welcome. (Seriously, am I missing something with regard to these guys?) A- — Eric W. Saeger

imately cute sister, and making his own albums, such as Bruce Robison and the Back Porch Band, which will be in your illegal download areas in a few days. “Honky Tonk Ramblin’ Man” is the first single, an upbeat, straightforward, low-key dance number that’d probably be great to drink beer to. It’s lyrically amusing, if a bit hackneyed; I’m pretty sure at least three billion songs have been written that sound exactly like this.

• Canadian rocker-folkie-whatever Feist will street her fifth album on April 28. Pleasure is the follow-up to 2011’s Metals, which had a few good trip-hop and freak-folk moments, not bad considering she was pretty burnt out. The new album’s title track is almost Bkork-like in its weirdness, but not that weird, just more like something that’d come from a a mellowed-out Tom Waits if he was an indie-wombat girl and wanted to bother me personally.

• Like most people, I didn’t realize British rockers Kasabian were awesome until 2004, when I heard “Club Foot,” the third cous, unhinged, righteous but, well … danceable, sort of like if Oasis had Trent Reznor’s temperament. For Crying Out Loud, their sixth album, will be out imminently, its leadoff single a joke song titled “You’re in Love with a Psycho,” comprising a disco beat worthy of Chromeo. Wait, come back, the rest of the album will be awesome (it better)!

• Lastly, yes, we could talk about the new Willie Nelson album God’s Problem Child, but a Cranberries LP is dropping too, and I haven’t dealt with Dolores O’Riordan’s yodel for years; maybe I can stomach it, or maybe even enjoy it. Look at that, Something Else is the new record’s title (how perfectly ’90s, no?) and the single is “Why.” Yuck, it’s a slow-ballad-rock thing that sounds totally 1990s, like if Live and Collective Soul wrote a song for this band and Cranberries decided it didn’t sound depressing and 1990s enough. And that yodel — OK, you can’t say I didn’t try, at least. — Eric W. Saeger

If you were sad to miss out on Writers’ Day, which was cancelled April 1 due to a snowstorm, never fear — you can still get your fix at Derry Author Fest Saturday, May 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Derry Public Library.

The event, now in its third year, features many of the gems people like so much about the New Hampshire Writers’ Project’s annual shindig, including workshops, panels and the opportunity to meet with published and unpublished writers. The best part? It’s free.

Erin Robinson, DPL teen librarian who’s also a published author (she goes by her maiden name, Erin E. Moulton, for her books), said the event has seen continued interest among patrons, plus readers and writers outside Derry.

“The news is spreading a little bit. At the end of last year, one lady came up to me and said, ‘This is wonderful! Sometimes, to go to a conference like this, I have to pay a huge amount of money, so I don’t mind putting extra gas in the car to get here,’” Robinson said.

Library Director Cara Barlow conceptualized the first event in an attempt to create more active programming for library patrons.

She has continued on this path, recently initiating the creation of Derry’s first poet laureate position, held by Robert Crawford, who will kick Author Fest off with a poem.

This year’s festival theme is “Character!

Setting! Magic!” Most of the day is made up of presentations, including those by (Hippo Associate Publisher) Dan Szczesny (“Travel Writing for the Fearless”), Heidi Heilig (“Creating Realistic Characters For Your Fantasy World”), Nicole Tadgell (“Anatomy of a Picture Book”) and Paul Durham (“Middle Grade Magic”).

The only panel, “The Writing Process,” is at the end, featuring Katie Bayerl, Adi Rule, K.R. Conway, Francisco X. Stork and MarcyKate Connolly, moderated by Erin E. Moulton.

“They’re all over the board with the different types of writing they do. It’s interesting to hear their different ways they work through a novel,” Robinson said. “Each session is about the writing process, but the different areas of the process. Some of it is more technical than others. But we’ve definitely had requests for more picture book stuff, and there was also a request for a workshop on developing characters.”

While the workshops aren’t super hands-on — they don’t involve critique — they might have some writing exercises, Robinson said.

At lunch, participants can continue their conversations about books and writing at themed moderated tables that tackle topics like crime writing, setting, poetry and picture books.

Robinson suspects the event’s success has

to do with Derry’s rich history, having once been home to one of America’s most famous poets, Robert Frost. The Hyla Brook Poets host regular readings at the Robert Frost Farm and workshops at the library, where Robinson also leads a teen writers’ group that sees a steady crowd every other Wednesday.

“It’s really cool. I’m glad there are teens who, during their free time, come to the library to sit and share stories,” said Robinson, who still finds these kinds of meetings and festivals energizing, even as an organizer.

“I always benefit from hearing other writers talk about the craft of writing.”

Most authors presenting are from New England, but Heilig, author of The Girl from Everywhere and The Ship Beyond Time, is driving up from Brooklyn. Her presentation is about creating rich, diverse characters with depth while writing fantasies.

“When I first started, my biggest problem was actually finishing something. I would get so interested in these little parts of worldbuilding, and I’d go off on tangents. I’d get excited about one character’s whole story and realized I wasn’t writing a book — I was just writing a world,” Heilig said. “The finishing part of it was going through the story and creating a plot with a beginning, middle and end. … I had so much fun shoveling sand into the sandbox, but the hardest part is building something with that sand.”

A Piece of the World, by Christina Baker Kline (William Morrow, 296 pages)

Host A Pop-Up Boutique & Earn Free Clothes!

113593

You don’t have to be an art expert to recognize that Andrew Wyeth’s painting “Christina’s World,” of the woman in the field, is one of the most memorable images ever painted.

It portrays a disabled woman dragging herself across a field toward a grey house in the distance. It is a breathtaking painting that inspires reflection. There’s a story there, we tell ourselves; we’re just not sure what it is.

In A Piece of the World, Christina Baker Kline imagines a backstory of that iconic painting. She tells the story of Christina Olsen, an incapacitated young woman whose world consists of her family’s farm in the small coastal town of Cushing, Maine, in the early 1900s.

Christina’s home life was originally filled with the chaos of siblings, animals and farm chores, but at the age of 10 she contracted a disease that weakened her legs, and she could no longer walk. Christina silently stays behind in the family home and obediently watches while her brothers and sisters one by one leave the farm to begin their own lives in the outside world. Christina’s is a heavy and oppressive life until a wild and eccentric artist by the name of Andrew Wyeth enters it, bringing art, joy and exuberance to this drab and dreary world. While Wyeth expands her boundaries, Christina reins his in, resulting in a special reflective relationship.

“He did get one thing right: Sometimes a sanctuary, sometimes a prison, that house on the hill has always been my home. I’ve spent my life yearning toward it, wanting to escape it, paralyzed by its hold on me. (There are many ways to be crippled, I’ve learned over the years, many forms of paralysis.) My ancestors fled to Maine from Salem, but like anyone who tries to run away from the past, they brought it with them. Something inex-

orable seeds itself in the place of your origin. You can never escape the bonds of family history, no matter how far you travel. And the skeleton of a house can carry in its bones the marrow of all that came before.”

Through Wyeth, Christina discovers a world that lies just outside her front door. And through Christina, Wyeth learns to pause, reflect and truly comprehend what the meaning of home and protection is. The two friends form a vital yet melancholy symbiotic relationship, each benefitting from the other while at the same time recognizing it could never last. Time is the great enemy of all who have illness.

Using fact and fiction, Baker Kline weaves a story as rich as any tapestry. A Piece of the World does not unfold in linear format, but instead it ducks and turns at various intervals. It is a series of brushstrokes that when seen from the final ending point paints the picture whole. Baker Kline’s evocative language (also evident in her previous bestseller Orphan Train) flows while vividly portraying scenes — the fields are golden, the air is sweet, the life desperately melancholy. The story reads like the painting from which it was inspired.

Carefully researched and well-documented, this is a book without a typical happy ending. Instead it presents an unfolding of the human condition in its rawest form. Although some readers may find this an unbearably sad story, A Piece of the World is ultimately about perseverance, strength and grace in the face of debilitation. This book will make you pause. It might even make you think differently about those who are confined because of disease or handicap.

In the end, Baker Kline seamlessly blends fact with fiction resulting in a story that will forever be remembered any time you come across Christina’s World. A — Wendy E.N. Thomas

Main St., Concord, screens a documentary filmed during the New Hampshire Primary called Democracy Through the Looking Glass: Media & Politics in the Post-Truth Era Friday, April 28 through Thursday, May 4. Filmmaker Kevin Bowe spent nine months researching the film, covering more than 100 campaign events and press conferences while supplementing the field recordings with expert analysis from veteran CBS journalist Bob Schieffer, Boston Globe editor Brian McGrory, UNH Professor Andrew Smith and others. “One thing that unites Americans of all political stripes is their dissatisfaction with the media, yet that subject does not get close scrutiny because the media does not cover the media. I did,” Bowe said in a press release. Call 224-4600 or visit redrivertheatres.org.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Unforgettable (R)

Katherine Heigl turns her “tightly wound blonde lady” all the way up to full volume in Unforgettable, a silly but watchable thriller.

Julia Banks (Rosario Dawson) is your down-to-earth everygal. Having moved past a violent relationship, she is now happily engaged to swell guy David (Geoff Stults), who runs his own small brewery in a peaceful southern California town. Some kind of editor, Julia can take her job on the road and moves south from San Francisco to live with David and, part time, David’s daughter, Lily (Isabella Kai Rice).

Welcome to the neighborhood, says Tessa (Heigl), David’s ex-wife and Lily’s mom, with her words. But her eyes say “get ready for the craziest crazy that ever crazied.” Even before Tessa steals Julia’s phone to create mischief, we know Tessa has decided to go all in with belittling and gaslighting Julia.

Why, you ask? In part it’s because Tessa has an obsession with perfection and not failing (her brief affair was the catalyst for David’s ending their already unhappy marriage), as evidenced by her conversations with her equally controlling mother (Cheryl Ladd). In part, it’s because she is straight up nuts like only the villain of one of these movies can be. When she’s not skulking around David’s house to steal Julia’s engagement ring and generally sow discord, she creating fake Facebook accounts to get “Julia” back in touch with her abusive ex-boyfriend.

The problem with Tessa’s ever-intensifying campaign of messing with Julia is that pretty early on most people would probably say “thanks for the proposal but I’m out” to David. If not before, the point where Tessa stages an accident to make it look like Julia pushed her down the stairs is the point where I would have bags packed and a lawyer on retainer. Julia also doesn’t tell David about her violent ex for much longer than makes sense for her character and her current situation.

But complaining that a catfight thriller doesn’t make real-world sense is a bit like complaining that the cars in The Fast and the Furious movies are unusually accident-prone.

Unforgettable

Rosario Dawson is good at playing the audience surrogate, constantly trying to decide if she’s being overly sensitive or if the crazy lady is really as crazy as she suspects.

She brings a grounded-in-reality quality and sense of humor to her character.

Even better is Heigl, who seems to have found a good way to reuse that one rom-com character that she seemed to play in multiple movies during the aughts. Tessa is a ridiculous character but she fits with the tone of the movie and she makes all the silly parts of the story work.

Unforgettable is not a good movie, not smart the way that Get Out, which had some similar elements, is, but it is a fun entry into the lady-villain thriller territory. C+ Rated R for sexual content, violence, some language and partial nudity. Directed by Denise Di Novi with a screenplay by David Johnson and Christina Hodson, Unforgettable is an hour and 40 minutes long and distributed by Warner Bros.

The Lost City of Z (PG-13)

A British military officer becomes obsessed with the Amazon in The Lost City of Z, a long, aimless movie based on a true story.

Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), a major in the British army in the early 20th century, isn’t seeing a lot of career advancement potential. When he is offered an assignment

scouting and map-making in the Amazon, he jumps at it even if it means leaving wife Nina (Sienna Miller) and young son Jack (Tom Mulheron, later Bobby Smalldridge) for several years.

He and his team, which includes aide Henry Costin (Robert Pattinson), set off into the wilds of South America. The deeper they go into the jungle, the rougher their expedition becomes. When they finally complete their mission, Percy is intrigued by a discovery in a seemingly deserted section of the jungle: pottery and other artifacts. He had been told that no one had ever been to this part of the jungle before, but he comes to understand that it is only Europeans who have never been there before. He theorizes that the indigenous people of the area had (or perhaps still have) a complex civilization including an undiscovered city, which he calls the city of Z, in the jungle. Once he returns to Great Britain, he lobbies members of the Royal Geographical Society to support his cause. He mounts an expedition to return, becoming obsessed with finding Z, no matter the cost.

Meanwhile, Nina, left at home, raises Jack and the two more children Percy fathers between expeditions. Years later, after recovering from injuries received fighting in World War I, Percy and his now-grown son Jack (Tom Holland) make another attempt at finding Z. The Lost City of Z starts out strong, with the

world of the early 20th century and its mix of modernity and the unknown. Early Percy is a man just searching for a way to get ahead and sees exploration as a way to do that. But as the story goes forward, there is a “then this happened and then this happened” quality to his story. And, to some extent, this is life — not everybody’s story is going to lend itself to a neat narrative arc. But it makes the story of Percy, as a contained movie, feel like it goes from an adventure tale to something that just kind of spirals off and then fades (and then this guy threatens to sue, and then the war and then the recovery and then...) with no particular goal. To pull the plot together, the movie feels like it sort of starts with “Percy wants career advancement” and then trades that for “Percy has an Amazonian obsession” without really connecting those two pieces. Little moments of flashbacks and thoughts of the jungle throughout feel less like an attempt to see inside the mind of this man and more like tape holding not-quite-connected parts together.

The Lost City of Z has decent enough performances (this is probably the first time I’ve seen Pattinson in something and not thought about Twilight) and interesting scenes of exploration, but the movie never felt cohesive to me. This true story, which probably makes for a perfectly engrossing book, might have worked better as a more aggressively fictionalized movie. C+ Rated PG-13 for violence, disturbing images, brief strong language and some nudity. Directed by James Gray with a screenplay

by Gray, The Lost City of Z is two hours and 20 minutes long and distributed by Amazon Studios and Bleeker Street.

The Promise (PG-13)

A medical student with a bright future finds his life upended by an unexpected romance and the first World War in The Promise, a movie set during the massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire.

Mikel Boghosian (Oscar Isaac) works at his family’s apothecary shop in a small town in the Ottoman Empire before the war. He wants to become a doctor but needs the money to

Mikel and Maral marry but even the cabin isn’t remote enough from the increasingly deadly campaign the government is carrying out against the Armenians.

The Promise is long — unnecessarily so since it spends a lot of time on a romantic triangle that goes nowhere. I get the sense that the movie felt the historical subject matter was cinematic broccoli and that the cheesesauce of handsome people in love was the way to make it more general-audiencefriendly. But if anything, the love plot waters down the far more interesting historical movie. I wanted to know more about what society was like in the Ottoman Empire before World War I and more about how and why the genocide happened. (Turkey continues to deny that the killings were genocide, as every story I’ve seen about this movie points out. The New York Times in their “Times Topics” has a summary of the history and an April 22 story by Tim Arango offers information about recent developments in the study of the killings.) The “Is the pretty lady going to pick this guy or that guy” felt shoved into the far more significant historical story. (This unnatural wedging also gets in the actors’ way.

Bale feels underused throughout and Isaac’s character worked best for me when the melodrama was more or less set aside.)

The key accomplishment of The Promise, no matter how inartfully the historical horrors are folded in with the rather weak romance, is that it does in fact give us a story about the Armenian genocide. This part of World War I history doesn’t get a lot of ink in your standard study of 20th-century history in high school or college — or at least it didn’t when I was in school forever ago.

There is something to be said for a movie, even a fairly straightforward movie, that helps fill in just enough background to get you to want to learn more, and I did leave the theater wanting to learn more about the fate of the Armenians. BRated PG-13 for thematic material including war atrocities, violence and disturbing images, and some sexuality. Directed by Terry George and written by Terry George and Robin Swicord, The Promise is two hours and 13 minutes long and distributed by Open Road Films.

attend medical school. He decides to become engaged to a local girl, Maral (Angela Sarafyan), and uses the dowry money her family gives him to pay for school with the plan to be back in two years for them to marry.

In Constantinople, he is introduced to a wider world, where Turks, Armenians and others seem to live and work together in a relatively modern-seeming city. He stays in the household of a prosperous cousin where he meets Ana Khesarian (Charlotte Le Bon), a cultured young woman who went to school in Paris and is tutoring Mikel’s cousin’s young daughters.

Soon Mikel, Ana, her boyfriend-or-something American reporter Chris Myers (Christian Bale) and Emre (Marwan Kenzari), a partybro friend of Mikel’s from medical school, become a regular foursome. But trouble is clearly near, as evidenced by visiting German military officers and the hostility of Emre’s Turkish father toward Armenians. Emre gets a “behave or else” warning after he uses his father’s name to keep Mikel out of the army when war breaks out.

This medical exemption can’t save him from what is essentially a pogrom against Armenians in Constantinople. Mikel’s cousin is picked up and the family home is looted.

When Mikel goes to the police station hoping to use Emre’s family name and a bribe to get him free, he is also captured and pressed into slave labor. Emre, meanwhile, is forced by his father to enter the military.

When we see Mikel again, he is slowly starving while building a railroad with other Armenian prisoners. He escapes from the work camp and makes his way back home to his family village. His parents are delighted to learn that he’s alive. They want him to marry Maral and live with her in a hidden cabin outside of town, far from any fighting.

Mikel, however, isn’t as sure about this marriage as he once was. The night the antiArmenian riot broke out, Mikel and Ana wound up together, hiding in a hotel room.

This memory of their one night together has complicated their other relationships for both Mikel and Ana, but Mikel’s mother Marta (Shohreh Aghdashloo) advises him to forget about Constantinople and get on with the life in front of him.

NITE A healing art Local music news & events

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

• In remembrance: A group of Seacoast musicians gather to celebrate A Light I Can Feel: The Music of Brown Bird, a two-CD tribute to the late David Lamb, who died of leukemia in 2014, and MorganEveSwain, his partner in music and life.

Performers include Huntress & Holder of Hands, South China, Breakfastsong, Mara Flynn, Peter Squires, Audrey Ryan and Guy Capecelatro III. Go Thursday, April 27, 9 p.m., 3S Artspace, 319 Vaughan St, Portsmouth. Tickets are $10 at 3Sarts.org.

• Monumental: Boston alt rockers Lions Lions mark their latest CD, Monument, with a release show. Lead singer Joshua Herzer recently said the new album is the veteran band’s darkest and most personal to date. Providing support at the all-ages show are Actor|Observer, Under Fire, Fathom Farewell, Northwoods and Dismissed.

Go Friday, April 28, 8 p.m., Bungalow Bar & Grill, 333 Valley St., Manchester. Tickets are $12 at brownpapertickets.com.

• Final hoedown: A recent bit of disappointing news: Midnight Rodeo is leaving The Yard, its home since 2009, with the future up in the air. Restaurant renovations forced the move. Organizers of the weekly country music party, which offered local bands, DJ music and line dancing lessons, promise to carry on in a new location. Go Saturday, April 29, 8 p.m., Midnight Rodeo (The Yard), 1211 S. Mammoth Road, Manchester. See midnightrodeobar.com.

• Up to chance: The improvisational jazz band Skunk Jesus derives its name from the belief that starting out with no musical destination can either stink or be sublime.

Judging by their YouTube videos, the latter consequence is more common. The fourpiece group plays vintage instruments and features a sax player who will make Morphine fans smile. Go Sunday, April 30, 7 p.m., Riverwalk Cafe, 25 Railroad Square, Nashua. See riverwalknashua.com.

Hip-hop show celebrates CD release

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

For Cody Pope, art inspires religious fervor. His independent company is called Vatican Life, and he believes the muse is a deity.

“Whether it’s photography, music, painting or whatever you do,” he said in a recent Skype interview. “If that’s what you want your life to represent, you should hold it in the highest regard, the same way that people do their religion.”

The Nashua native began playing punk and metal music during his teenage years.

In 2010, he moved from hard rock to hip-hop, inspired by hometown acts like Granite State.

“I was blown away,” he said. “These were such talented artists, doing something so different from what we heard on the radio.”

For his new CD, Empathy & Emptiness For Those in Empty Nests, Pope enlisted Granite State’s Bugout, along with New Hampshire rappers Ape the Grim, Tim Nihan and Mike Wing. At an all-ages release show on April 29 at The White Birch in Hudson, Pope will perform the entire record with these special guests, each of whom do their own sets.

One of the reasons Pope left rock was the volatile chemistry of band life.

“Trying to get five people’s goals to align, things would always fall apart for one reason or another,” he said.

Cody Pope CD Release Party Where: White Birch, 222 Central St., Hudson When: Saturday, April 29, 7 p.m.

Tickets: $10/door ($5/presale at codypope.brownpapertickets.com)

Nite Life Music, Comedy & Parties • PIERRE BENSUSAN at Red & Shorty’s (4 Paul St., Dover 767-3305) on Friday, April 28, 8 p.m. $30 - Winner of the Independent Music Award, in the Live Performance Album category for his latest triple live album “Encore” (2014), “Rose d’Or” of the Montreux Festival for his first album, “Près de Paris” (Switzerland, 1976), “Best World Music Guitar Player “ par the readers of Guitar Player Magazine (USA, 2008), Pierre Bensusan is recognized as one of the premier musicians of our time.

Making the new disc forced him to muster a new level of trust.

“I don’t typically have features on my songs, so to have guys that I looked up to featured on these records … brings it full circle, and that’s what I want the show to represent,” he said.

Empathy & Emptiness represents Pope’s transition from defiantly independent to more accepting. “The Hunger” describes the challenge of succeeding in an often unforgiving business — “if money is the root of all evil, I’m a saint,” he raps — while “The Fall” is a confession of sins and hope for redemption.

“That’s when I felt the darkest, and I was struggling to see a purpose in life,” Pope said. “Without Vatican Life and hip-hop I could have easily not been here right now … that song is about being OK with the fact that I did things I’m not proud of [and learning] how to grow from them.”

The vitriolic “Last of a Dying Breed” is

Artspace (319 Vaughan St., Portsmouth 3sarts.org) on Friday, April 28, 8 p.m. $16 - The Tokyo, Japan based 4 piece Instrumental Rock band MONO was originally formed in 1999. Their unique approach of blending orchestral arrangements and shoegaze guitar noise in their music has been held in extremely high regard.

• CHERYL WHEELER at Peterborough Players Theater (55 Hadley Road, Peterborough Deb@pfmsconcerts.org) on Saturday, April 29, 8 p.m. $25 - Poet-Cheryl writes achingly honest songs of love and loss. Contrasting the prosaic landscapes of her native small-town America with the

a standout track. Though it sounds pointed, Pope had no particular target in mind.

“It reflects my frustration with things that continue to happen year after year with so many incredible artists; they are not willing to make the extra sacrifice to get their art where it could be,” he said. “As a fan, it frustrates me. … People miss out on things that could change the world potentially.”

The struggle to overcome is a recurring theme on the record. Pope reflected on this in a recent Facebook post.

“This record means so much to me, and yet life has been such a wild hand of cards lately that it didn’t hit me til we were in the moment,” he wrote. “Now I can finally share with the world all of these stories of growth and strength, in a time where I’ve needed it more than ever without even realizing it.”

In addition to performing, Pope ran the Misery Loves Company showcase at Carlo Rose Cigar Bar in Pelham for its two-and-a-half-year run; he still promotes an occasional show there. He’s a regular at Shaskeen Pub’s Sunday Rap Night, along with Seacoast and Maine events.

“The hip-hop scene just continues to grow, and I could not be more grateful to be part of it,” he said. “There is so much versatility in the music that you can acquire from hip-hop artists, so you never stop learning something new every day.”

Some proceeds from the upcoming show will benefit the sober living facility Homestead Inn. The all ages aspect is also important to Pope.

“There are a lot of kids in junior high school that don’t have the opportunity to experience this music the way some of us older guys get to,” he said. “It was really important for me to make something that was inclusive. … This is an event that is cool for anybody who cares about music, live art and community.”

hopelessly rootless life of the traveling performer, she touches the common chords with any who feel the tug between our busy, noisome times and the timeless longing for simplicity and silence.

• PENNY & SPARROW W/ LOWLAND HUM at 3S Artspace (319 Vaughan St., Portsmouth 3sarts.org) on Saturday, April 29, 8 p.m. $15 - With influences that range from The Swell Season to Iron & Wine to Stephen Sondheim, Penny & Sparrow create music that is equally as intimate and poignant as it is powerful and earnest.

• MARY GAUTHIER at Red & Shorty’s (4 Paul St., Dover 767-

3305) on Wednesday, May 3, 8 p.m. $40 – Acclaimed singer/songwriter Gauther’s songs are about as idiosyncratic as anything in the wide world of “popular music.”

CON TUTTI WORLD MUSIC CHORUS at South Church (292 State St., Portsmouth 451-9346) on Saturday, May. 6, 7:30 p.m. $12 – Singin’ Up a Storm of songs...from hardhitting Gospel , to upbeat South African....from a fun rainforest chant of the Baka people to a terrific Pentatonix a capella hit. Of course James Taylor shows up with “Shower the People” and ending with a very fun reggae version of “I Can See Clearly Now.”

SIGNS OF LIFE reluctantly conceded to himself that his brother would not allow him to ride out with the others …. So Badger Boy began planning how he would slip out of the encampment and go anyway. An older brother may have some good advice.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) He had found that most horses formed habits of behavior. At night, each had its own place to sleep within the group. Though the herd was moved frequently from one area to another for fresh grass, daylight would find each animal in more or less the same location relative to the others. Have you gotten into a rut?

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Badger Boy … listened to the drum and watched the dancing by his elder brother and fifteen warriors who had volunteered to accompany him on his raid. Resentment gnawed at him like hunger in an empty belly. Steals the Ponies had belittled his pleading that he be allowed to go along. His shadow was not yet long enough, his brother had said. That in itself was humiliating, but the fact that Steals the Ponies said it with a laugh only compounded the wrong.

Mockery will not get you what you want.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Impatiently James declared, “You ain’t got time to ask questions, and I ain’t got time to answer any.

Git while the gittin’s good.” Reluctantly Rusty had to acknowledge the wisdom in James’s advice. Git. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Most of the time the lanky ranger had much more to say than Rusty thought necessary. He would ramble aimlessly, sometimes stopping in the middle of a sentence and jumping to a totally unrelated subject. Don’t do that.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) The officer seemed to have banked the coals of his anger, though he would probably fan them back to life when the mission was over. Set anger aside while you deal with pressing matters.

2017 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Quotes are from Badger Boy, by Elmer Kelton, born April 29, 1926.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) The people of the band knew him as Badger Boy because he had a badger’s belligerent response when other boys picked on him. And pick on him they had, in the beginning, for he seemed a misfit among those near his own age. Don’t pick on the misfit.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Pete Dawkins poked at the campfire with a dry stick, his backside prickling with impatience. Somewhere in the distance he heard a bugle, but he gave it no attention. Practice patience and pay no attention to the bugle.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) He had not understood all that was said, but he knew his uncle meant him no good and Rusty had come to his defense. … This reinforced his longheld acceptance that Texans were a strange lot. Trying to make sense of them could give a man a headache. Not everything needs to make sense.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) Pete did not walk when he could ride. Though it was a short distance from the corrals to the big house, he mounted the fresh horse he had just taken. If you’re going to take a horse, make sure it’s fresh.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) One problem now, for a time at least, would be to keep younger mares from trying to return south to the Colorado River. Horses had been known to travel hundreds of miles, following their instincts to go back where they came from.

You can draw inspiration from your origins.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) A couple of strangers gave him a hostile stare for no good reason he could think of except perhaps that he seemed to carry purpose, and they had none. To a barefoot man, the owner of an old pair of boots appears rich. Objects in mirror may be less rich than they appear.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Badger Boy

A June 2016 police raid on David Jessen’s Fresno County (California) farmhouse caused a $150,000 mess when sheriff’s deputies and Clovis Police Department officers “rescued” it from a trespassing homeless man with the massive destruction leading to Jessen’s lawsuit announced in March. The misdemeanant helped himself to an ice cream bar, some milk and half a tomato but was otherwise “unarmed.” However, by the time the police standoff ended, the “crime scene” included more than 50 cop cars, a SWAT team (and backups), two helicopters, standby ambulances, a police robot, and a crisis negotiation team. Windows, walls and wrought-iron doors were destroyed; tear gas and a “flash bomb” were employed. (Jessen suspects that the farmhouse’s isolation enticed police to decide that it presented an excellent training opportunity.)

Compelling explanations

Jason Sexton told KFSM-TV in Fort Smith, Arkansas, in April that he alone had been digging the massive hole neighbors noticed, now 34 feet deep and with separate tunnels extending off of the main hole. Police had come to check it out, since it was on another person’s private property (and not the city’s, which Sexton had assumed). He said he had been digging off and on for three years to get an answer to whether “the Spanish” had been in Fort Smith centuries ago, mining iron, and, if so, the site should therefore be a lucrative tourist destination. Sexton said he felt he had to give his explanation: “Nobody in their right mind,” he said, “would dig a hole (this big) for no reason.”

Crime report

• At a time of growing awareness that some people seem almost addicted to their cellphones and instant 24/7 communication, police in Brookfield, Wisconsin, released surveillance photos of a woman in the act of robbing banks on March 25 and 27 while standing at teller counters and talking on the phone during the entire episodes. Acting on a tip from the photos, police arrested Sarah Kraus, 33, on March 28.

• Paul Perry Jr., 39, sound asleep behind the wheel of his car, with motor running, at 6 a.m. on April 2, was in no position to talk his way out of a DUI ticket, but did offer a gentle challenge to the Youngstown, Ohio, police officer. Several times, according to the police report, Perry offered to “thumb wrestle” the officer to get out of the ticket. From the report: “Perry was advised officers would

not thumb-wrestle him.”

• Wait, what? A father, 43, and his son, 22, argued on April 9 about who would walk the dog at their home on Chicago’s South Side. They apparently thought to settle the issue with a gunfight, and police, who recovered the two weapons, said both men received multiple wounds.

The son was killed, and the father was in critical condition.

motion detectors). Arduino’s work is “open source” creating hardware that others, by design, can exploit and modify for their own loftier projects. It might thus be said that Musto’s claimed academic “accomplishments” (his so-called MBA from New York University and claimed Ph.D from MIT) are themselves the product of his having “open-sourced” his own, previously modest curriculum vitae.

Leading economic indicators The foreign press The eight elite Ivy League universities are better thought of as “hedge fund(s) with classes,” according to a March report by the activist Open The Books, and thus there is little reason for taxpayers to have given them the more than $41 billion in grants and entitlements they received over a recent six-year period. The schools are already legendary for their $119 billion “endowments” (based on donations from alumni and aggressive investment).

Those endowments are enough, according to Open The Books, that (assuming donations continue to arrive at the same pace) schools could provide free tuition to every student in the eight schools in perpetuity. (Even if no new donations are made, the eight schools could provide such free tuition for 51 years.)

Ironies

Federico Musto was suspected recently

by Wired.com of audaciously inventing academic credentials to help land his job as CEO of the company Arduino (a circuit-board manufacturer popular in the computer industry among coders creating, among other things, robots and

(1) Village police in Bangladesh arrested Yasin Byapari, 45, in January on the complaint of his wife after she had learned that she was not, as he had told her, his second spouse, but rather the 25th of his 28. (Police found him at the home of No. 27.) The accuser said she had, through sleuthing, tracked down 17 of her “competitors.”

The passing parade

(1) In same-day competition in March, perennial Guinness Book records jockeys Zoe L’Amore and Ashrita Furman squared off over the record for stopping blades on an electric table fan the most times in one minute using only their tongues. On Italian TV, L’Amore stopped blades 32 times, but Furman, at a different venue, later stopped 35. (2) Norway unseated Denmark as the world’s “happiest” country, according to the UN’s Sustainable Development Solutions Network. (There was no word on whether Denmark was unhappy about losing the top spot.)
