It’s always a surprise when something old occasionally seems to be remarkably apropos to the times. The relevance to current events of a line spoken by Theseus in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream startled me the other day: “His speech was like a tangled chain. Nothing impaired, but all disordered. Who is next?” (Act 5, scene 1) It must be difficult these days to be a teacher of logic, rhetoric, political science, or certainly journalism as daily we all struggle to interpret statements from the Oval Office, the White House press room, or even tweets. “What is truth?” asked Pontius Pilate of Jesus, perhaps unwittingly continuing a long and venerable tradition of inquiry extending back to the beginning of recorded history. We all operate on the assumption that what we are told conforms to what is. Yes, we often bring to situations doubts, suspicions or skepticisms. But in the main, we wish for verifiable representations of reality. And the higher the stakes, the more exacting our expectations. None of us wants our surgeon, attorney or clergyperson to fabricate. Discussions of what is reality and what is truth now occupy huge sections of our online news sources, of our newspapers and magazines. Daily, in conversations with family, friends and colleagues, we exchange news of the latest utterances, explanations, proclamations, protestations and remonstrations coming out of Washington. And we try to sort through them, seeking some explanation, some rationale for what is baffling and at times, indeed, deeply troubling (if it means what it seems to mean). The British novelist Lawrence Durrell once observed: “Truth never shows a plane surface.” In another place, he noted: “Truth is halved in utterance.” These are the conditions of life. Just when we think we know, someone takes us by the hand and leads us to a different perspective. What we see then may lead us to place trust in the one who does the leading. In the current national environment where “alternative facts” and “fake news” are the currency of exchange, we all struggle to find a trusted source: a person or organization in whom or in which we can place our confidence. In time, the truth of things today will come out. Shakespeare offers that hope: “Gentles: perchance you wonder at this show. But wonder on, till truth make all things plain.” Oh, how we should hope so! Stephen Reno is a resident of Hampton. His email is stepreno@gmail.com.

Foster care crisis
Kids rescued from unsafe homes have nowhere else to go By Ryan Lessard
news@hippopress.com
Foster care workers say an influx of kids entering the state foster care system, driven by the opioid addiction epidemic, has grown to the point where there aren’t enough foster families to take the kids — and recruiting new foster families isn’t easy, given how little they receive from the state to help pay for the costs of caring for a child.
Recruiting
Katie Cassidy, a foster care recruiter with Child and Family Services, says demand for foster homes has risen faster than supply can keep up. “The biggest thing right now is the state of New Hampshire is in quite a foster crisis where we do not have enough homes statewide,” Cassidy said. “We are desperately seeking foster homes who can provide all different kinds of care.” CFS is a private nonprofit organization that partners with the state Division for Children, Youth and Families to pair children with foster families after DCYF assesses their case and removes them from an abusive or negligent household. While DCYF internally pairs children with general needs, CFS specializes in more challenging cases. It trains foster families to qualify as independent services options, or ISO families, which need to have at least one year of experience with general foster cases before taking on more challenging cases. Cassidy said there’s a growing need for both general foster families and advanced foster families because of the strain on the system. And time is of the essence. She said the problem has been growing over the past couple of years but it’s risen to crisis levels in the past year as more kids
who belong in family settings are being placed in group homes because there aren’t enough families available. Eileen Mullen, an administrator with DCYF, said there are 1,223 children in foster care right now and the past state fiscal year saw a big increase. “We’ve experienced about a 30-percent increase of the children coming into the system,” Mullen said. “That’s considerable.” CFS Advocacy Director Keith Kuenning says this means kids ending up in group homes or with families that are poor matches, which may result in the child’s getting bounced around from home to home. In an ideal system, kids are matched with families based on broader criteria, which look at things like the age and gender the families are looking for, whether they plan to adopt or they’re empty-nesters, the needs of the child and whether families will be willing to work with biological par-
One of the reasons it’s been hard to recruit new foster families is economics. Caring for kids is hugely expensive, and the payments the state makes to foster families that are meant to defray those costs may be inadequate for many potential foster families.
“The problem that we’re having is that those rates haven’t been raised in 10 years,” Kuenning said. Right now, Kuenning said, the state pays a base rate of $16 per day per child age 0 to 5 and $30 per month for clothing. He said foster parents joke that $30 a month is enough to buy one shoe in May and another shoe in June. Kuenning would like to see the base rate be more in line with the national average, which is $24 per day, but he said the state needs to toe the line between cost reimbursement and profit from overpaying. “We’re trying to find that sweet spot,” Kuenning said. He said the decision to raise a child should never be motivated by money, so enabling that kind of incentive could cause unintended problems. Kuenning is in talks with lawmakers and the governor’s office in the hopes that the state budget will allocate an additional $1.5 million to $2 million per year in order to raise the base rate to about $21 per day. Kuenning also wants to see the state raise the clothing payments to at least $60 per month. He’s optimistic that these proposals will have a chance in the Statehouse since Gov. Chris Sununu has prioritized children’s issues. The state is in the process of reforming DCYF to fix problems with the assessment process, but Kuenning said fixing one without fixing the other would be for naught. After all, identifying unsafe home environments and removing children from them is all predicated on the idea that there’s a better place for these kids to live. “Foster care is the backbone of the child protective system,” Kuenning said. If you are considering becoming a foster parent, call 801-4108.
shed was listed in the Top 10 of America’s Most Endangered Rivers by American Rivers. In its report, it noted that the river is not only important to an abundance of fish and wildlife, but it’s a drinking water source for an estimated 600,000 people in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Hotz said the partnership is focusing its immediate efforts on projects that will help protect drinking water quality. Working with Manchester Water Works, the partnership is raising funds to create a permanent
conservation easement around 1,870 acres of land surrounding Tower Hill Pond in Candia and Hooksett. So far, it’s raised $1.65 million largely from grants from the New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program and from the state’s Water Supply Land Protection and Aquatic Resources Mitigation programs as well as funds from the partnership. Now, they’re turning to the public to raise the remaining $250,000 to cover the total
ents. Both the children and foster families fill out a form so social workers can compare their “compatibility index,” according to Mullen. But that becomes a luxury in a system with too few families. “Right now the system is so strained, you don’t really have the ability to match. You just find an open bed and put the child there,” Kuenning said. In order to combat this, CFS is actively looking to recruit more families. “We’re really trying to step up that game here, because we have such a need right now,” Cassidy said. She encourages anyone curious to reach out despite any misgivings they may have about their qualifications. “There’s no perfect parent, and we’re OK with that,” Cassidy said. Some things are improving on the recruitment side. Muller said the health commissioner recently signed off on a new team of people who are dedicated to performing home studies — the process of evaluating prospective foster families. Before, this work was done by people whose time was divided between other responsibilities. The team has been up and running since January, but with all the fire safety inspections, health inspections and criminal background checks, the process still takes between eight and 12 weeks, according to Mullen.
State funding
Watershed protection
Coalition seeking donations to conserve land By Ryan Lessard
news@hippopress.com
The Merrimack River watershed is one of the most threatened watersheds in the country, and local environmentalists are working to gradually preserve some of the surrounding forest land from development. Brian Hotz, the vice president of land conservation at the New Hampshire Forest Society, said the Merrimack Conservation Partnership was first formed in response to HIPPO | JUNE 1 - 7, 2017 | PAGE 6
a 2010 report by the U.S. Forest Service, which ranked the Merrimack River as the country’s No. 1 most threatened watershed. Today, it’s still listed as the most threatened due to the development of forest lands; it also ranks fourth for threats to water quality related to development and seventh for loss of habitat for animal species at risk. “You’re at a point where if you don’t come and act, you will end up having a degradation of the resource,” Hotz said. Last year, the Merrimack River water-
project cost of $1.9 million. So far, Hotz said the Forest Society has raised $28,000 of the $250,000 through a letter campaign. Hotz said they’re hoping to reach that goal by June 30. The project is slated to close by mid-September, pending survey work and documentation. Tower Hill Pond is used as a water storage supplement for Lake Massabesic, so if anything happens to threaten that land, it could impact water quality. Right now, the city owns the land, but it could choose to sell it. A conservation easement will protect it from development permanently. “The more that we can do to conserve those wetlands and those more forest-
ed uplands that contribute to that or the … headwater streams, the better the water quality will be down in the main river, where they’re drawing the water,” Hotz said. Lake Massabesic is a source of drinking water for 160,000 residents of Manchester and parts of Auburn, Bedford, Derry, Londonderry and Goffstown. The land around Tower Hill Pond is used for recreation like kayaking, fishing and hiking, but not swimming. That won’t change if the land is conserved, according to Hotz. If you’d like to donate to the Tower Hill Pond conservation project, contact Susanne Kibler-Hacker at 224-9945 or skh@forestsociety.org.
Startup capital New fund frees up more money for tech companies By Ryan Lessard news@hippopress.com
On May 23, a handful of startup founders took the stage at Oracle Dyn in Manchester in front of a crowd of about 300 people. One after another, they pitched their solutions for problems you didn’t know existed, usually with software. The event, called Startup Shindig 2017, was the culmination of the current Accelerate NH program at Alpha Loft, a tech startup incubator. After each presentation, three companies were selected for major investments. Organizers were careful not to use the terms “winners” and “losers” because they said those that weren’t selected were still good companies worthy of investment. But those who were selected undoubtedly felt like winners; they each walked away with $100,000. The companies were Pulse, which offers a new way of online public opinion polling that engages participants and gets more accurate results; Addaptation, a company that makes micro-apps to order for a company’s cloud platform; and Thunderbolt Innovation, a project management software program for construction companies. The investments awarded to the three companies are the first to come from a new investment fund designed to target New Hampshire-based startups that promise to grow the local tech ecosystem. The fund, Millworks II, is the sequel to Millworks I, which awarded a total of $100,000 per year to the winners of the fall TechOut competition. Millworks II is a big jump in funding. “We doubled the number of limited partners … from 20 to 40 and then brought on a strategic investor to bring the total investment per year for the three years of the fund from $100,000 in fund 1 to $600,000 a year in fund 2,” said the funds co-general partner Gray Chynoweth.
BREAKTHROUGH FOR PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY SUFFERERS!
He is managing the fund with Liz Hitchcock, wife of Dyn founder Jeremy Hitchcock. Chynoweth said the new fund will award $300,000 in investments to select companies that come out of the Accelerate NH program and another $300,000 to the top companies in the TechOut. The larger size and scope of the new fund is a sign of confidence in the future of southern New Hampshire’s burgeoning tech scene, according to Chynoweth. “I think that anytime you go from investing $100,000 a year to investing $600,000 a year in New Hampshire startups, it’s a big deal. It’s the biggest seed fund in New Hampshire history and I think that says a lot about people’s optimism in the New Hampshire tech startup ecosystem,” Chynoweth said. He said it’s a very New Hampshire feature that the fund is co-run by a woman, since women are underrepresented in venture capitalism while the state has a history of female leaders. The growth from the first fund to the second also reflects the success of Dyn, which was recently acquired by Oracle. Chynoweth said $400,000 of the $600,000 in annual investments will be coming from the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority, which enjoyed a windfall from its own early investment in Dyn. Similarly, four of the original limited partners were part of the so-called “Dyn Mafia,” a tight-knit group of current and former Dyn employees. The new fund has about a dozen Dyn-affiliated investors. Mark Kaplan, the executive director of Alpha Loft, said the increased investments not only mean more money for companies just getting started, to help them scale up and improve their products, but could also lower barriers for small investments from other sources like angel investors who see the initial investment as a vote of confidence and might prefer using the terms set by the Millworks fund.

NEUROPATHY BREAKTHROUGH TREATMENT There is now a facility right here in Portsmouth, New Hampshire that offers healing and hope without taking additional medications. You no longer need to suffer with nerve pain! Nerve damage and pain is primarily caused by a lack of blood flow and nutrients to the nerves in the hands, feet, and back. When these nerves begin to “die”, they cause burning, balance problems, discomfort, numbness and tingling. Regardless of what you have been told, neuropathy is often reversible. The National Institutes of Health (part of the U.S Department of Health and Human Services) recently released this breakthrough statement. “Peripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate as long as the underlying nerve cell has not been killed.” The Center for Functional Medicine & Wellbeing has been successfully helping our patients reverse neuropathy for over a decade using a Functional Medicine model. By getting to the root cause of neuropathy/nerve pain, our patients are routinely able to reduce and/or eliminate the need for medications. Our leading edge, FDA approved technologies rejuvenate and heal nerves by increasing blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients back to your cells to restore function and stop pain. We empower you, your cells and nerves to optimize health. Recovery is possible. Our patients tell us they no longer have numbness, or burning. They sleep better, walk further and enjoy life more. Your personalized treatment plan is based on a detailed non-invasive neurological and vascular exam. Give us a call today to see if you are a candidate for this care.

Meet Bow’s town manager David Stack of Concord has been the town manager of Bow for six years. Prior to that, he was the town manager of Pembroke. How did you first get involved working in local government? I grew up in Connecticut, came up to Keene State right about 1980. I actually had majored in journalism and public affairs so I was going to be covering politics and current events. And I switched over my major to political science. Still wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. Did an internship with a regional planning commission, so I thought I wanted to be a town or city planner and when I graduated I did try to get some work in one of the regional planning commissions. Actually, before I graduated, I did some work for the state legislature. … I did committee research and it was a temp job during the session. I did work with a gentleman there who suggested that I might like being a town administrator or town manager. There were a couple openings at the time so I applied and I got the job in Pembroke. I was 24 when I started. It was a time period when a lot of towns were growing and they all needed administrative help. … I stayed there 18 years, which is a long time, I think, in our business. … And then we got to a point when … there was a pretty big turnover on the board and they decided they wanted to … cut the salary back and kind of cut back on some of the duties required of the town administrator. So I decided … to take a break from it, finish up my master’s and figure out where I wanted to go next. Fast-forwarding a bit, how long have you been Bow’s town manager? Just over six years. What was the biggest lesson you’ve learned in the role? The biggest lesson is things do take time but it is a true democratic process. We still have the traditional town meeting … where the voters in town get together and they decide what the budget’s going to be and vote on the warrant articles and you just need to be prepared and sometimes patient. We had a public safety building that we had brought proposals for, actually three in a row, and the first two times it failed. I think everyone realized there was a need, they just didn’t like the cost of it. … So I’ve learned to just be patient with the process, get everyone involved, get them the informa-

tion and let the citizens make decisions. What have been the biggest demands on your time as Bow’s town manager? That safety building Courtesy photo. took a lot of time, we changed … our health insurance plans to a high-deductible plan, which took up a lot of time. I think I had three committees going at once that I had to attend, so it was pretty much three nights a week for a while. There’s a capital improvements committee meeting that I was going to, and then budget committee meetings. That safety building project has been in the works for some time. Is it safe to say, that’s the biggest project you’re working on right now? Yea, for our own stuff, our own buildings, we have that, we have a community center study [underway] to replace the community center or renovate it, we have a lot of infrastructure projects going, we have a bridge replacement, an intersection realignment — those are state aid projects. … The town had talked about it years back that they need to put aside money for a fire station and a community building, because they’re combined now in a metal building that was put up in the ’50s, but there had never been any concrete planning on how to achieve these steps. So infrastructure of buildings and other stuff fell by the wayside over the years, so we’re kind of playing catch-up with that. … It was a long process with committees and ultimately the first project that we came up with … was $7.3 million and that failed. Actually, it was only by 10 votes … by a two-thirds majority. … Then it was $6.3 million and that failed miserably, so we went a different route … with a limited or capped budget … for $3.5 million. Are there any other development projects going on? The town also changed an area at the intersection of [Interstates] 89 and 93 to a mixed-use development district, which will allow a retail residential kind of mix. They’re pretty popular. … I think that will be a longer-term thing to come to fruition but at least we’re set up now with the zoning change. If you had a superhero name or a title other than manager that speaks to your strengths, what would it be? Helper guy. — Ryan Lessard

Firsts on Mount Washington
SAVE 25%
Alton Weagle Day — a celebration of “first ascents,” according to the Mount Washington Auto Road website — was Saturday, May 27, and it saw a hike by a trio of prancing unicorns, a juggling unicyclist, a pair of hula dancers, some Dr. Seuss characters and other cosplayers. All were inspired by Alton Weagle, who recorded many “firsts” on the auto road, according to a story in the Union Leader, including being the first person to climb it walking backward; to climb at night; to climb blindfolded; and to climb while pushing a wheelbarrow of sugar. The event first occurred in 2011 during the 150th anniversary of the oldest man-made attraction in North America but is now a Mount Washington tradition. QOL Score: +1 Comment: One of those hikers was Hippo Associate Publisher Dan Szczesny, who’s writing a book about Mount Washington. During the 7.6mile hike, he dressed as Walt Whitman and read from Leaves of Grass.
Few resources for needle exchanges
While the state will likely legalize needle exchanges for intravenous drug addicts, organizations that would start needle exchanges in the state are strapped for cash, the Concord Monitor reported. The HIV/ HCV Resource Center in Vermont recently opened its second needle exchange in the Green Mountain State, but its executive director told the Monitor they don’t yet have the resources to open a new center in New Hampshire. Two other organizations are expected to launch needle exchanges in the Upper Valley and Strafford County but it’s uncertain when that will happen. Public health officials say needle exchanges help curb the spread of diseases like HIV and hepatitis C. QOL Score: 0 (+1 because it’s becoming legal, -1 because it’s moving slowly) Comment: More than 540 used needles were picked up at public parks in Manchester in 2015, according to the story.

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

If that’s for YOU, give me a call. I’ll get the job done!
With the Celtics on a playoff roll, the Red Sox have been pushed to the back of the Longshots line all season. But with June here it’s time to look at what’s been a very disappointing (and boring) start to 2017, a year that began with sky-high expectations. But the best thing about the interminably long baseball season is it’s interminably long — that gives teams a chance to recover after mucking around for up to even four months, as the Sox did in 2004 and the Yanks (gulp) in 1978, when both shook it off and delivered on high expectations. In the meantime, here are some thoughts on what has gone down so far. What I like best so far: (a) Chris Sale, with 101 K’s in 71 innings and at 5-2 when the run support hasn’t been great, is one who’s lived up to expectations; (b) Craig Kimbrel, with an ERA of 0.87 and 40 strikeouts in his first 20.2 innings, has been the definition of lights out; (c) Eduardo Rodriguez — at 3-1 with a 3.10 ERA, his last six starts have been really solid and most importantly he has no real bad starts, so he may finally be living up to his promise; (d) Andrew Benintendi is in a bit of a funk right now, but I love that swing. Baseball 101: Who is the active strikeout leader among MLB pitchers? Why Can’t We Get Guys Like That Award: With Tyler Thornburg yet to throw a pitch amid the ongoing calamity that is third base, this award goes to Travis Shaw, whose 34 RBI as I write this are seventh-best in baseball. Which brings me to Dave Dombrowski’s last four pitching acquisitions: (1) Carson Smith — yet to throw a pitch; (2) Thornburg — ditto; (3) Drew Pomeranz — San Diego concealed an elbow injury that curtailed his production after the mid-2016 trade; (4) David Price — has only made
one start in Year 2 after going 17-9 with a higher than normal 3.99 ERA. Hmmm. Of course, that bad karma may extend to those traded as well. Top prospect Anderson Espinoza, who went west for Pomeranz, hasn’t thrown a pitch all year due to injury either. Baseball 101 Answer: CC Sabathia is the active strikeout leader with 2,763. That puts him 22nd on the all-time strikeout list. Baseball 102: Name the pitcher who’s led the league in wins most often. What I like least about the Red Sox so far: (a) Xander Bogaerts, with just one home run; (b) Rick Porcello pitching like he did in Detroit, (c) David Price, taking longer to come back than it did for Francisco Franco to die after he fell into the coma. Since Mookie is their best player and has more power, why in the name of Ricky Henderson is he leading off and one-homer guy Xander Bogaerts batting third? Shouldn’t they switch spots in the order? To those who don’t think John Farrell doesn’t do enough small type things in close games: in Betts, Bogaerts and Benintendi he has three guys on a pace to steal 30 bases each. When’s the last time that happened in Boston? If I had to guess, I’d say in the days of Tris Speaker. Speaking of the manager: Would you pleeeease bat JBJR ninth? He hits better down there and when he does it extends the beginning of the line-up the second time around the order. What I Expect to Happen: (a) Mookie to eventually blast off; (b) It to come out that Hanley Ramirez is not playing first base because he doesn’t want to and the brass let him get away with it. (c) AL East to get it in gear when the weather finally gets warm and roll to the title. Geniuses like radio guy Tony Mazz whining all winter that Dombo made a big mistake dumping Clay Buchholz because he gave them pitching depth don’t look so
smart now. Not that they ever do. True the latter is needed, but ignoring his injury history was idiotic — it lived up to form when he tore a muscle in his elbow in his first start with Philly and is likely gone for the year. Those who pushed Edwin Encarnacion to replace David Ortiz also ain’t looking great at the moment. His numbers project over a full year to .207, 21 homers and 51 RBI, hardly a great return for $20 million per. And, told ya signing Jose Bautista would be the 21st-century version of Lou Gorman signing Jack Clark in 1992. He’s at .227, seven homers and 22 RBI. After five games Chris Sale had given up just five earned runs in 37.2 innings and was just 1-2 with a 1.19 ERA. In the next three he gave up 11 runs in 28 innings but was 3-0. What does that say about pitching and baseball? And if you had your choice, which of those pitchers do you want? The one with the stellar ERA and under .500, or the one with a 3.11 ERA and 3-0? I just checked — nope on the Tris Speaker-era 30 steals question. When the Sox won the series in 1912 he had 52, Harry Hooper had 29 and some guy named Larry (the) Gardner had 25. It was closer in 1910 when Speaker had 35, Hooper 40 and Heinie Wagner had 26. Baseball 102 Answer: The great Warren Spahn led the NL in wins a most-ever eight times on his way to 363 career wins. Next is a three-way tie at six between Grover Cleveland Alexander, Walter Johnson and Bob Feller. Did Andrew Benintendi go into his funk because he’s just in a funk like everyone has, because the Sox put too much pressure on him too early by batting him clean-up, or because after a couple of times around the league now has a book on him like they get on most rookies that he must adjust to? Next week, a look at the rest of baseball. Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress. com.

Monarchs’ hopes stung The Big Story: After being unable to finish the South Carolina Stingrays off after holding a 3-1 lead, that’s all she wrote for the 2016-17 Manchester Monarchs. They were eliminated after wins in their first two rounds of the Kelly Cup playoffs in a backand-forth Game 7 thriller 4-3 at the SNHU Arena at the start of the week. It was a nice spring run, though it left them 0-3 in both one-game goals this year and in their history overall in Game 7’s. Sports 101: Dwyane Wade is the most recent of 41 players who have scored 20,000 points in their NBA career. Name the first to do it, (hint) in 1964. Best Player Game of the Week: It goes to Derryfield’s Madi Kochanek, whose whopping 11 goals were as many as Pelham had when the Cougars won bragging rights in a battle of one-loss teams in Division III lacrosse with a 16-11 decision. Babe Ruth Family Award: To Londonderry softballers Andi and Ali Brown where the former struck out 25 batters in consecutive 12-0 shutout wins over Keene and Memorial and the latter hit a three-run homer in the win over the Crusaders. In Case You Ain’t Been Paying Atten-

2 – wins on consecutive days while giving up 13 hits, by Derryfield hurler Emily Moll, who needed just 87 pitches to beat Nute (Gingriches) 7-1 and then in a 3-2 win over Portsmouth Christian when she gave up just six hits over 10 innings in a 2-1 win.
tion: A tip of the cap goes to the Monarchs’ Matt Leitner for being the team points leader during the ECHL playoffs. He had 21 on eight goals and 13 assists, followed by Quentin Shore with 15 with six goals and nine assists and Daniel Ciampini with 14 (4 &10). Sports 101 Answer: The great Bob Pettit, who spent his entire career with the St. Louis Hawks and was the first NBA power forward pro type, became first to reach 20,000 points in his NBA career on Nov. 14, 1964. On This Date – June 1: 1918 – Down 5-4 to the Yanks in the bottom of the ninth, the White Sox load the bases with no outs with soon to be Black Sox scandal leader Chick Gandil coming to the plate, who promptly lined to third baseman Frank (home Run) Baker, who turned it into a triple play – game over – fix! 1925 – Yankees first baseman Wally Pipp sits out with a headache and is replaced by young Lou Gehrig, who then doesn’t leave the lineup for 14 years while playing in 2,130 consecutive games. 1975 – California Angel Nolan Ryan throws the fourth of his seven no-hitters to beat the Orioles 1-0.
3 – hits and RBI for Derryfield slugger Dante (pure) Goldner in a 15-0 win over Portsmouth Christian Academy. 5 – goals by Brian Cameron as Bishop Guertin hammered Salem 17-4 in NHIAA lacrosse action. 17 – wins against no losses for undefeated and untied Derryfield lacrosse after a 13-5 win over Goffstown when John McLean had a
Sports Glossary
game-high five goals for the Cougars. 18 – number of hits for the Goffstown girls as they ran away from Windham in a 15-7 win when Jordan Hillyer, Alyssa Upton and Alexis Nikitas each had a pair of hits. 100 – career goals by Windham laxster Annie McLeod after she potted five in a 19-0 win over Memorial.
Walter Johnson: Arguably the greatest pitcher ever who toiled for the Washington Senators, from 1907 to 1927. In that time he won a second-best-ever 417 games, 20 games or more an astonishingly 12 times, 25+ in seven straight seasons, with a high of 36 in 1913. He was versatile enough to manage the Senators and Indians, run for Congress in 1940 and hit .433 at age 37 with two homers and 20 RBI in 97 at-bats! Grover Cleveland Alexander: “Old Pete” won a third-best-ever 373 games for the Phillies, Cubs and Cards between 1911 and 1930. He won 20 or more nine times, including 32, 33 and 30 from 1915-17. His demon was alcohol, exacerbated by his being mustardgassed fighting in WWI and being shell-shocked after it was over. Bob Feller: Fireballing Cleveland righty who joined the Navy the day after Pearl Harbor. Since he averaged 26 wins per 1939-41 and won 26 in 1946, the lost time during WWII likely cost him 100 career wins. Overall he won a robust 266, but boy, 366 would have been even nicer. Jack Clark: Slugger who closed his career in 1993 hitting .210 with five homers in Boston. The looney, spendthrift DH later faced one of the all-time great bankruptcy filings ever thanks to a major appetite for luxury cars that reached 17 before it caught up to him. Francisco Franco: Fascist Spanish dictator/monarch and pal of Adolf Hitler who took forever to meet his maker after falling into a coma during the early days of SNL where Chevy Chase repeatedly said on Weekend Update, “Francisco Franco is still alive.”

How do you like to bike? On a mountain with rugged wheels? On the road with a tandem partner? On a rail trail with kids in tow? There are all kinds of ways to bicycle, from the more traditional (for adults that typically means choosing between a mountain bike and a street bike) to the more unique, like tandem bikes and recumbent bikes, where your butt is low to the ground and your legs extend out in front of you. Kids have options too; babies can ride in trailers or seats attached to adult bikes, and toddlers and growing kids can try the relatively new balance bike trend before easing into training wheels — if they need them. So go ahead and find your next ride, then check out a few suggestions for where to go on your new wheels.
Ride with a partner on a tandem bicycle By Angie Sykeny
asykeny@hippopress.com
There’s an old adage about riding a tandem bicycle. “The saying is, ‘Whatever direction your relationship is going, you will get there faster on a tandem bike,’” said Susan Hollinger, a New Hampshire tandem cyclist and president of the Eastern Tandem Rally, a group of tandem enthusiasts hosting rides and events in the Northeast. A tandem is a bicycle designed for two people to ride at once. It has two seats — a regular seat and a seat directly behind it — and two sets of pedals, linked so they turn together and at same rate. “You’re not independent at all,” Hollinger said. “It requires the two people to work together in sync and to communicate to move the bike and cover the distance. And it’s incredibly fun.”
Partnering up
Riding tandem is a great option for

two people who want to get outside and be active together but who have different physical skills or endurance levels. “The bike is an equalizer,” Hollinger said. “One [rider] may be a competitive
cyclist and the other may like to go slower, but the bike does all the equalization, so they get [to their destination] at the same time, and no one feels like they’re bugging the other person or waiting for them to catch up.” Tandem cycling also gives riders an opportunity to socialize and spend more quality time together, as opposed to riding individual bicycles side by side, where the riders may fall in and out of earshot and are focused on keeping the same pace with each other. From a fitness standpoint, Hollinger said, many people tend to ride harder and for longer distances when riding tandem. “I think it’s because you’re just having fun the whole time,” she said. “It never really feels like work.”
Staying in sync
On a tandem bike, the person riding in the front seat, also known as the captain, handles the primary maneuvering actions like steering and shifting gears. The captain is typically the more experienced
cyclist. The person riding in the back seat, also known as the stoker, acts as “the engine,” Hollinger said, simply providing additional pedaling power. Tandem cycling requires a significant amount of communication between the two riders. Verbal communication may include the captain informing the stoker about a change in terrain that lies ahead or when he is about to switch gears, or the stoker telling the captain when they want to glide or do standing pedaling. There is also a lot of nonverbal communication that comes with practice, like learning how to lean in unison with your partner and match his weight distribution when making turns. “Starting out, you have to talk to each other a lot and tell each other what’s going on,” Hollinger said. “But over time, you don’t have to say as many things aloud. You communicate intuitively and through body language.”
Types of tandems
Tandem bicycles are available in many of the same styles as single-rider bikes;

Hitting the road
If you’re just starting out with tandem cycling, it helps to be comfortable and confident riding a regular bicycle first. Riding a tandem is about as physically demanding as riding a regular bicycle on level terrain. At an incline, however, it can be more challenging because having two riders creates more weight to push up the hill. “It’s like an 18-wheeler truck; it moves slowly uphill,” Hollinger said. “But the downhill makes up for it. You fly downhill very fast on a tandem.” It’s best to learn on a flat, paved surface with little traffic, such as a large parking lot or a quiet back road. Then, when you go for your first real ride, start with a manageable distance like 10 or 15 miles. Ideally, you should spend your first few rides as the stoker, with a captain who is experienced with riding a tandem. “If you’re going to be riding on the back,
it lets you feel what it’s like to not steer or shift,” Hollinger said, “and if you want to ride on the front, you can get a feel for what the captain is doing so you can tell if it’s going to be comfortable for you.”
Here are some local bike shops that carry new or may carry used tandem bikes, or can order one for you. The Bike Barn (33 S.

there are ones for casual cruising and street riding, fitness and racing, and even mountain biking and hill climbing. “The Mount Washington Hill Climb often has several tandems that do it,” Hollinger said. “There are tandem bikes built to do that. They have a lot of gears so people can take them up steep hills. They’re very sturdy and well-designed, and they hold up well.” When it comes to cost, tandem bicycles span a wide range but are typically more expensive than single-rider bikes. A goodquality tandem bicycle may cost between $1,000 and $10,000, Hollinger said. If you want to try before you buy, there are some bicycle shops and outdoor recreation venues that offer tandem bicycles to rent. Many beach resorts also offer simple cruiser tandems to rent and ride. “Those are what you think of as the classic ‘bicycle built for two,’” Hollinger said. “It’s a different thing altogether from the world of tandem fitness biking, but they’re usually very manageable, and it can be a lot of fun to just take one out for the afternoon and tour around the beach.”

Recumbent bikes are the strange mutants of the cycling world, beloved by many, reviled by others. But fans say the leanback-with-the-legs-in-the-front approach is a more efficient use of energy and strength and offers a riding option for people with physical or cognitive disabilities. Maverick’s Square Adaptive Cyclery is one of the few places in New Hampshire that specializes in recumbent bikes and carries an inventory in its store, according to co-owner Nathan Moreau. The shop also performs modifications for special needs, like putting all the brakes and shifters on one side for stroke victims. “We don’t do anything normal, I guess, on the bike side,” Moreau said. The company started six years ago and
Here are some local bike shops that carry new or may carry used recumbent bikes, or can order one for you.

Moreau said recumbents are its “bread and butter.” It partners with rehab centers like Crotched Mountain in Greenfield and Northeast Passage in Durham. “It gives freedom back,” Moreau said. Folks with inner-ear problems or brain injuries may have trouble balancing, so the three-wheel option is best for them. Recumbent bikes come in a number of variations. There are tricycles, bicycles and some that are slightly more upright with high handlebars but still with a backrest for a more relaxed seat. “You’ve got handlebars on both sides — you sit between them and they’re physically connected to the pivot point on the wheel,” Moreau said. For some, it can be as easy as riding a traditional bike, but for others, it can be difficult to get the hang of it. “Either you get it really quickly or you hate your life,” Moreau said. Still, he encourages people to try out all the variations of recumbents available. Someone who doesn’t do well with a twowheeler may do well with a three-wheeler. That’s because recumbent bicycles require more balance and leaning like a traditional bike, whereas trikes do not. “It’s a different type of balance. It’s like being in your recliner and trying to ride a
If you’re curious about this biking option and want to try one out, Maverick’s hosts a weekly group ride every Sunday night at 6:30 from Nashua to Pepperell, Massachusetts, along the Nashua River Rail Trail, which is a 10-mile round trip. Folks can come and use a floor inventory bike for free, if available, and ride with the group to an ice cream shop and ride back. The whole trip takes about two hours.
bike,” Moreau said. Two-wheelers can also be difficult to get started. Moreau said a rider needs to sort of “Flintstone” run to pick up momentum and then pick their feet up. Moreau finds the three-wheeler to be his favorite form of conveyance these days. He can go for 20 miles on a recumbent trike with the same energy that would take him half the distance on a traditional bike. Plus, with the stability afforded by three wheels, he can spend less energy trying to stay upright. “My body doesn’t wear out as quickly because … I’m not using the same type of muscle groups. I’m using a more diverse muscle group,” Moreau said. “You’re not using your legs to fight balance.” He said it also works out the core more than a traditional bike. Because of the way your body needs to shift side to side, he said, your lower abdomen gets a good workout. “They’re a blast to ride, they’re supercomfortable and it’s a lot of fun,” Moreau
said. Co-owner Dan Horn says he thinks most local triathlons and duathlons will accept recumbent bikes but racers should always check with a race organizer first to be sure. Some more official racing circuits might be less inclined to allow recumbents, he said. One bike race called the Three Notch Century in North Conway includes a lot of recumbents, according to Horn. The event, which takes place this year on Saturday, Sept. 9, helps raise support for Northeast Passage. Many websites sell recumbents online and some local shops can special-order them for you. Moreau said the only downsides to recumbent bikes are that they’re low, so you need to add flags and lights to your ride so motorists are more likely to notice you, and they’re often too bulky to easily store or transport. He said some companies do make specialty variants that can fold into smaller sizes, making them easier to travel with or pack away for the winter.

Mountain and road biking in New Hampshire By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
Unless you’re going tandem or recumbent, there are two main options for bike riding: mountain biking and road biking. “There’s a bicycle that can satisfy any need you have for riding, whether it’s on the road at high speed preparing for a triathlon or a casual spin around Lake Massabesic, to soak up the terrain or have a picnic lunch. You can do it all,” said Dan Dwyer, a local bike enthusiast and vice present of the Southern New Hampshire chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association.
The bike
Road bikes allow you to go fast, with thinner, larger tires for efficiency’s sake, and a saddle (seat) height that positions you almost parallel to the road in an aerodynamic position. Mountain bike tires are more rugged, allowing bikers to master rocky terrain, with seat heights that put riders upright, balanced and ready to meet obstacles. Saddles are normally more narrow on road bikes and performance bikes. Other major differences have to do with handlebars — mountain bikes’ are usually wide and flat, road bikes’ dropped — plus gears and brakes. Mountain bike gears are lower, and brakes are higher-end, borrowing suspension and braking technology from motorcycles. “When you’re off-road, descending steep trails, you really need good braking power,” Dwyer said. (Though these 18
No matter what style of biking you’re embarking on, it’s important to do what Topham calls the “ABC Quick Check.” Is there air in your tires? Are your brakes working? Are chains and gears working properly? Make sure nothing’s rattling today that wasn’t yesterday. He advised installing blinking LED lights for both day and night — which he said has proven to result in 30 percent fewer crashes between cars and motorists — and a warning bell to let pedestrians know you want to pass. Especially if you’re going on a longer ride, you should take a pack with you containing water, a spare tube, pump and simple hand tools for on-road maintenance in case something happens to your bike en route. Keep clothing out of moving parts, like shoelaces or baggy clothes, and always wear a helmet. If you haven’t road biked in a while, you can get back into it by joining a local organization or even taking classes, like with the Bike-Walk Alliance, which hosts a course on traffic safety.

17 brake styles are also making their way into high-end road bikes too.) If you’re not willing to sacrifice comfort or speed, or off-road options, shoot for a hybrid, or a bike that takes from the best of both worlds. Dwyer mentioned a new style called the gravel-grinder, which is like a beefier road bike designed for comfort and to facilitate off-road adventures. “You have quite a wide variety of hybrid bikes, crosses between mountain and road bikes, that have upright handlebars similar to mountain bikes, and that are lighter weight and go higher speeds,” said Dave Topham, co-founder and on the board of directors of both the Bike-Walk Alliance of NH and Granite State Wheelmen. Both Dwyer and Topham said that staff at a local bike shop can help you find the best style for you, and determine how to size your bike to fit just right. With both road and mountain biking, your legs should be nearly fully extended at the bottom of the stroke — which means that you probably won’t be able to put both feet on the ground when at a standstill. Another way to measure is to look at the height of the top tube (the top metal bar connecting handlebars and seat). When you’re straddling the frame of the bike with both feet flat on the ground, there should be a couple inches of clearance.
If you haven’t biked all winter, Topham said to start slow. Begin with shorter loops and work your way up. He recommended checking out the New Hampshire Department of Transportation’s seven regional bicycling maps (nh.gov/dot/programs/ bikeped), which contain road and route suggestions, plus information about local rail trails, paved and unpaved. Updates on the ongoing construction at the Granite State Rail Trail, a route spanning from Salem to Manchester to Lebanon, are posted at facebook.com/GraniteStateRailTrail, where you’ll also find parking information. The
longest paved segment of this trail is from Salem to Windham to Derry at 8.6 miles.
Mountain bike rides
As a Manchester resident and member of the Friends of the Massabesic Biking Association, Dwyer loves exploring the trails surrounding Lake Massabesic, most of which start near the parking lot in Auburn off the traffic circle. Around Nashua there’s Mine Falls Park, which offers beginner-friendly flat trails, and Yudicky Park, which is a little more advanced. In Merrimack you can mountain bike through Horse Hill Nature Preserve, Grater Woods or the Wildcat Falls Conservation Area. Farther north, Dwyer said he enjoys the trails behind Concord Hospital, which include the Winant Park, Marjory Swope and the West End Farm trails. Farther east is one of the “most highly regarded” venues for mountain biking, Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, and even farther north is Highland Mountain Bike Park in Northfield, the world’s only lift access mountain entirely dedicated to biking, according to to its Facebook page.

Where to go and what to bring when biking with kids

By Matt Ingersoll
mingersoll@hippopress.com
Even before they’re old enough for their first princess or superhero bicycle, kids can enjoy the experience of biking with adults — and once they outgrow those “tagalong” options, there are some easy ways to help them learn to bike on their own.
Sharing a ride
For adult bikers with much younger children, there are strapped seats that can go either at the front or the rear of the bike. According to Tim Blagden, a board member
for the Concord-based Bike-Walk Alliance of NH and a father of four, front strapped seats
typically mount just below the handlebars, while rear seats can be propped on a rack inserted above the rear tire of the bike. Most bike seats can accommodate children from 9 months to up to 3 years old, or between about 30 and 50 pounds in weight, depending on the product line. “Using back bike seats will probably give you a little bit more control over the bike without extra weight on the handlebars … but they also have a taller back to them, so they make it easier for kids to fall asleep once they get enough fresh air,” Blagden said. There are also tagalong or third wheel bike trailers, which attach to the adult bike. Some even provide the child with their own bike seat, complete with handlebars and pedals. Blagden said these are especially great for kids who are not yet old enough to pedal independently on a biking trip with their families. “The child is also able to learn balance and observe bicycle decision-making skills,” he said. “Having one of those in addition to having a small bike the child can ride on is a big plus … because you
could still go an adult’s distance while your kid is riding semi-independently.”
Finding balance
Balance bikes, which do not have pedals, are designed for younger kids to learn basic coordination on a bicycle. “This can seem like an unnecessary step, but for very young kids it can be a way for them to start out on their own and they may enjoy that for an entire season,” Blagden said. Patrick Lessard, sales manager for the family-owned Bike Barn in Manchester, recommends a balance bike as a child’s first bike to build confidence in balance and turning. “If a child can turn and balance on a balance bike, then they’re not even going to need training wheels; you’re just going to take them off,” he said. “We’ve only been selling balance bikes within the last 10 years or so, but they’ve been fairly popular in that time span.” If your child is using training wheels but having trouble making that transition to be free of them, Blagden recommends 20

19 removing the pedals of the bike to temporarily convert it into a balance bike. “One pedal is threaded one way and the other is threaded in reverse, so you can usually do it using some kind of wrench,” he said. Lessard said a good step toward achieving balance independent of training wheels involves practicing on some sort of softer terrain like a grassy field as opposed to a paved or dirt road, and making sure the bike fits the child. “You still want them on a right-size bike for them to be able to use the power in their legs to push it,” he said.
Find the right bike
Children’s bikes come in different sizes, and finding the right one isn’t an exact science. “We usually start with how old the child is and then how tall they are, so if a child is a little tall for their age, they might get the next size bike up,” Lessard said. “We do a 12-inch for children up to 4 years old, then it goes to a 16-inch for ages 4 to 6, a 20-inch for ages 6 to 9 and a 24-inch beyond that.”
Tim Blagden said properly fitted helmets are where you need to start. The alliance is a nonprofit bike safety advocacy group that visits local schools and works with organizations like the New Hampshire Department of Transportation and the Bureau of Trails to create bike safety legislation. “[Wearing a bike helmet] is a law in New Hampshire, so it sounds pretty simple, but if a kid won’t keep a helmet on, then don’t put them on a bike,” Blagden said. State law requires children under 16 riding in a public way to wear a helmet.
Blagden recommends looking for gear offered at bike swaps — a good option for bikes that kids might outgrow in a year or so — or at local shops in the area. “A decent bike is going to last forever … and [these shops] carry really quality gear, they know their stuff inside and out,” he said.
Ride the rails
When you have all your equipment and you’re ready to go, Blagden said, the most ideal environment for kids and families is often exploring rail trails, and there are dozens of them right here in the Granite State, including in Boscawen, Derry, Londonderry, Windham, Salem, Goffstown and Manchester. “Rail trails are often relatively flat and have good sight lines,” he said. “You can call them the beginner slopes of biking.” Lessard said books about some of the most popular bike paths and rail trails in the state are available for purchase at the Bike Barn, including the latest edition of Charles Martin’s book New Hampshire Rail Trails. “You definitely see the advent of rail trails becoming popular [for families] because they are … great for practicing on bikes,” he said.

ARTS Reunions and togetherness
10th Nashua Sculpture Symposium closes this weekend ta Rica with wood, metal and stone. His parents are farmers, and he remembers the awe of learning how a tiny seed could transform into something beautiful, like a tree or a flower, or something delicious, like fruits or vegetables. Today, much of his art expresses that kind of upward movement, or the role of the woman, whom he sees as strong and powerful. He’s been looking forward to returning to Nashua and leaving another mark on the Gate City. “The other special thing is that my sculpture will be here forever,” he said.

“Together” is the theme of the 10th Annual Nashua International Sculpture Symposium, an event that brings artists from all over the world to Nashua, where they stay with residents and create new pieces of art to be installed around the city. This year’s crop includes Mai Thu Van from Vietnam, Tony Jimenez from Costa Rica and Tom Huff from upstate New York, who were also part of Nashua’s 2008, 2013 and 2012 symposia, respectively. Their 2017 journey began with an opening reception Thursday, May 11, and ends with a closing ceremony Saturday, June 3, at 1 p.m., at which time the artists unveil their masterpieces.

Elena met Thu Van at the opening and created a drawing of the two of them surrounded by a heart. In return, Thu Van is Mai Thu Van Thu Van’s 2008 sculpture, “Moon Shad- constructing a miniature sculpture for the ow,” sits next to the Nashua Public Library little girl, in addition to the larger one and has one enormous fan — a 4-year-old she’s completing for the city, which contains carvings of tiny roads, stairways and girl named Elena. “Her mom told us that since Elena was 2, people. “When I heard the story about the little she has been really drawn to this sculpture. Every time she goes to the library, she says, girl who loves my ‘Moon Shadow,’ I was ‘Can we visit ‘Moon Shadow?’’ And then very happy,” Thu Van said. “I have a big she goes up to the sculpture, walks around friend, and she’s 4 years old.” This response is what the symposium is it, and touches it.

to visit the place and meet the people he’d heard so much about, like Carolyn Cilley, who hosted his wife in 2008. He’s found the place similarly inspiring, having drawn 10 portraits of his new friends.
Tony Jimenez
Jimenez’s new piece depicts two faces next to each other looking happy. His 2013 piece in Labine Park, “La Familia,” follows a similar theme of togetherness. “It’s different this time. I have friends here now. I feel safe here,” said Jimenez, who’s staying with the same host who took him in four years ago, Karen Goddard, who also owns M&C in Amherst. They became such good friends, she invited him back in 2014 to sculpt a piece to decorate outside her clothing shop. “She always says, the first time she met him, he got out of the car, and it was like they were already friends,” Wolfe said. “It was a special connection.” Jimenez works as a full-time artist in Cos-

Huff is a Native American from the Seneca and Cayuga nations, in upstate New York. Much of his artwork explores his culture, and this new piece, “We Are All Related,” is no exception. On one side is a carving of a face, representing his mother. “I’m Native American, and our culture deals with women. It’s a real matriarchal society; we are who our mothers are,” he said. “[The sculpture] is about how we are all related … The plants, the air, the water, the earth, the sky. We depend on each other.” Huff participated in the 2012 symposium, and his “Turtle Island,” which was inspired by a rock he found as a kid on a creek, can be found in Bicentennial Park. He still carries that rock with him everywhere he goes. At first, he thought his calling was in geology, but he eventually went to study art at the Rhode Island School of Design and now teaches in Syracuse. The materials — stone, wood — remain important to his process. He sees things within them before he begins carving, which perhaps also has to do with his heritage. “In our culture, we believe that all the natural parts of the earth have a living spirit,” he said.

Legendary jam
Million Dollar Quartet chronicles session with rock icons By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
114718
In 1956, Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun Records, had the foresight to hit the “record” button when four rock icons — Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash — all happened to be in his studio at the same time and decided to hold an impromptu jam session. The local paper, the Memphis PressScimitar, covered the event and took the iconic photo of the four sitting at the piano. The recordings were later released as The Million Dollar Quartet in Europe in 1981, and then as Elvis Presley: The Million Dollar Quartet in 1990 in the United States. In Manchester, you can be a fly on the wall during that jam session — sort of — when the Palace Theatre presents the jukebox musical version of this story, Million Dollar Quartet, starting Friday, June 2, with performances through Sunday, June 25. Palace Artistic Director Carl Rajotte said during an interview at the theater that the show has never been to Manchester before, but it did extremely well at the Ogunquit Playhouse and other nearby venues. It’s not hard to see why. First and foremost, there’s the music, with almost 25 hits by the rock icons, like “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Hound Dog,” “Great Balls of Fire” and “I Walk the Line.” And then there’s the thrill of being privy to one of the most important events in rock history. The musical, with book by Floyd Mutrux and Colin Escott, was on Broadway in 2010, the West End in London in 2011, and was nominated for three Tony Awards. The plot is inspired by those recordings. “There are scenes and dialogue throughout, which gives us a little bit of insight into who these guys were before they made it big,” Rajotte said. “It’s very, very interesting. We get a little peek of everything you heard on those tapes. And that’s the plot — everything you would have heard on those tapes. The fighting, the jamming between those four icons.” All were in their early 20s at that point. That day, Perkins was set to record songs with Lewis, a newcomer, on the piano. Presley, most famous of the four at the time, had been in town for Christmas to give Phillips a gift. Cash was visiting to tell Phillips he was signing with a bigger label, Columbia Records.

This weekend, the Palace Theatre produces Million Dollar Quartet. Courtesy photo.
Naturally, it’s difficult to cast this eightperson show, and it took a while for Rajotte to find Ben van Diepen (playing Lewis, who also plays piano), Luke Linsteadt (Presley, playing guitar), Brett Benowitz (Perkins, on drums), Colin Barkell (Cash, on guitar) and Moot Davis (Phillips). “I had to find people who could really play, not just kind of play. … The first thing I was looking for was musicianship. Next was the vocals. Do they sound like these guys? And then, the look. Do they look like these guys?” Rajotte said. “[The actors] love this type of music and love that person they’re playing. You can see on their Facebooks how much they have been motivated to be musicians themselves because of these artists.” Unlike most Palace shows, this one’s more about the music and less about the dancing, as actors need to learn the tunes and perform them exactly like these rock legends. Sets and costumes are courtesy of the National Tour, which are rented from the Ogunquit Playhouse. “I really enjoy the side of designing the show, and so does my staff, but it’s nice if we can do this once or twice a year and ... alleviate our schedule a little bit so we could focus more on the next show,” Rajotte said. Many actors’ backgrounds are in music, not musical theater. Like Davis, who “detests” musical theater but loves this show, having just come off a Million Dollar Quartet tour with Norwegian Cruise Line. “I just get it. I love the music, and I also get the story, and understand what it’s like to be around musicians, and to try to herd them and get them to do what you want. I love the story,” Davis said. Songs are performed like rock concerts, with changes in lighting, and at the end, there’s 15 minutes of straight music to lighten the mood after the last line from Phillips. “It closes with him saying, ‘I wish these guys had happier times, before their lives, or careers, ended.’ For a lot of them, demons caught them in their career after they became famous,” Rajotte said.

Giving is good for the soul, and it can be fun, too — and the Concord Food Co-Op is setting out to prove it with its Spring Into Healthy Giving Fair, which will feature a petting zoo, a ping-pong contest, Cow Patty Bingo, live music and more. Main Street in Concord will be closed off from Pleasant Street to Hills Avenue for the mini street fair, which will be held on Saturday, June 3, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will help raise money for and awareness of local nonprofit organizations. “We thought that if we could get a number of different nonprofits together in one place for one event, we’d be able to draw more people down and cross-promote different types of organizations,” said Greg Lessard, director of development for the Concord Food Co-Op and event organizer. Planning for the fair started back in October, he said. “We started with nonprofits that the Co-Op works with on a regular basis, and then others in the neighborhood started to get in on the conversations about getting involved,” he said. “One of the first things that came up was Pope Memorial SPCA of Concord wanting to do a Cow Bingo game as a fundraiser … and then the Crisis Center of Central Spring Into Healthy Giving Fair When: Saturday, June 3, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Where: Downtown Main Street, between Pleasant Street and Hill Avenue, Concord Cost: Free admission; some activities require a fee Visit: concordfoodcoop.coop/sihg

IN/OUT THE GARDENING GUY
Everything’s coming up roses Tips for growing healthy, hearty roses By Henry Homeyer
listings@hippopress.com
My grandmother and mom grew roses, even though their roses were often plagued by bugs and diseases. But in recent years the rose industry has produced a number of carefree roses that anyone with six hours of sunshine and even a slightly green thumb can grow. Probably the first place to start a quest for a great rose would be at a good family-run garden center. Find the rose expert there, and ask about good varieties for your area. In general, fragrant roses tend to attract Japanese beetles and other insect pests. I personally like the ‘Knock Out” rose series. These roses are highly disease-resistant and, in my experience, they attract few pest bugs. There are other disease-resistant varieties, of course. If you live in a cold place where winters reach minus 25 or more, I’d look at the Canadian Explorer series of roses. These were developed in Ottawa, Canada, and include those tough rugosa roses in their gene pool. Rugosa roses are also called beach roses, since they often grow in pure sand on the dunes of Cape Cod and elsewhere. A good resource for selecting and maintaining problem-free roses is a book I like very much, Roses for New England: A Guide to Sustainable Rose Gardening by Mike and Angelina Chute. This book is full of inforwill be approximately eight hours and is offered through the Office of Student Wellness with the state Department of Education. It will be taught by Peterborough Fire Chief Ed Walker and Michele Babineau, a parent representative for the Monadnock Region System of Care Collaborative. A young person you know could be experiencing a mental health or substance use problem. Learn how to create an action plan to help.

Foss spoke to law enforcement, politicians, medical personnel, recovery specialists, as well as addicts and their families. Sat., June 3, 1 p.m. Derry Public Library, 64 E. Broadway, Derry. Free.

mation relevant to New England gardeners, and reading it would be a good way to educate yourself about roses. It reinforces what I have learned about roses over the years — and taught me some things I didn’t know. It’s available at rosesolutions.net. So what do roses want? Good soil with a slightly acidic pH, plenty of sunshine, soil that is slightly moist all the time, a little fertilizer, and someone who loves them and is willing to pull off the beetles and drown them. The soil that roses want is a good loam amended with compost. Dig a hole that is about two and a half feet wide and 18 inches deep. Keep half the soil and mix it with an equal amount of compost in a wheelbarrow or on a tarp. You could send away a soil sample to determine the soil pH and to see what minerals are deficient, though that might take a few weeks before you get a response. Or you could just

go to your local garden center and buy a kit for testing soil pH. Much of New England has acidic soil, but roses like something in the range of 6.0 to 6.8 — slightly acidic. You can improve your soil pH by mixing in limestone (which is available in bags at your garden center). Mixing in a cup per rose is a good start, depending on your soil pH. I knew a rosarian who always buried a 4-inch square scrap of Sheetrock (wallboard) beneath each rose to provide calcium and improve soil pH over time. A cup of bone meal or rock phosphate at planting time will add phosphate, a mineral that roses need. Roses need sunshine to do well, the more the better. The Chutes’ book taught me that if you have to choose morning sun or afternoon sun, go for morning sun. That way the dew dries up more quickly — and fungal diseases, which love wet leaves, are minimized naturally. Six hours of sun is considered adequate, but the Chutes mention that roses with fewer petals need less sun to bloom. I have a rose right near my front door — and the hose that is connected there. It has bloomed well for decades, in part, because every time I fill a bucket, wash the car or use the hose, I give the rose a nice drink. Roses love water. I have a watering wand on the hose so that I can direct water to its base, and not wet the leaves. In dry summers watering roses is key. How much? At least five gallons per week for a mature rose.
I rarely fertilize my roses, but the Chutes’ book says that fertilizing regularly increases blooming. I might try a couple of applications of an organic liquid fish fertilizer this summer. Be aware that too much fertilizer pushes fast growth that is more susceptible to diseases and insect damage. What else should you consider when selecting roses? I like roses grown on their own roots, not grafted onto root stock. If the plant dies down to the soil over winter, a rose will sometimes send up shoots from the roots, which are different from the rose you planted if you buy grafted roses. Also read the tag carefully to see if it is a one-time bloomer each season, or a rebloomer. Some roses, like the Knock-Out roses, bloom for most of the summer. Be sure to cut off blossoms after flowering to encourage more blossoms. Finally, now is the season to cut off any brown, dead portions on stems — most roses suffer a little winter damage. Cut above an emerging leaf. I’m an organic gardener, which means I don’t spray my roses, not for fungal diseases, not for insect pests. I firmly believe that if you have a rose in good soil with good sunshine and adequate water, your roses will be healthy and not attract many insects. Henry is at the Chelsea Flower Show in London this week; read his report on the show next week!

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT
When It Comes To Rehab, Remember
Dear Donna,
You Have A Choice!
I have a collection of doll shoes that belonged to my mom. She collected dolls but also must have collected lonely shoes too. Most are just one, not the pair. Is there a need for any of these in your business or for replacement for antique doll collectors?
If you’re hospitalized and need skilled care before you can return home, you have choices. Don’t leave that decision to strangers!
We provide: • Independent Living Apartments • Short and Long Term Skilled Nursing • Full Rehabilitation Services
Beverly of Derry
Call today to discuss your choices.
Dear Beverly, I was smiling while reading your letter. Yes, there is usually a home for everything. Either someone might want to have them for replacements (if they also collect dolls and have the match), or just because. When I saw them myself I thought, what a great little collection of treasures and stories they must have to tell. I never can understand how tiny parts to any toy or doll can make it through all this time and now about 100 years later be looking for a new home. As far as determining a value for them, I think it would be in the eye of the buyer and would be based on whether they’re needed
or just wanted as a great collection to display. I would think you have around a $100 value in lonely doll shoes. Your mom was smart to save or collect them.

IN/OUT CAR TALK
Modern cars aren’t hurt by idling to warm up Dear Car Talk: When I was a young lad learning to drive in Pennsylvania in the winter, I was always told that the best way to warm up a car on a cold morning was to start it, By Ray Magliozzi then drive away immediately but gently. It was common wisdom that to let it idle was to decrease the life of the engine, since nothing warmed up quickly enough: The moisture in the exhaust would condense more and rust the muffler; the oil would be sluggish, and thus the lubrication incomplete in the engine. Now we have cars with remote starters, and we are encouraged to start the car as we sit sipping our morning coffee in our jammies, so that the car is a tropical paradise when we finally start out on those cold winter mornings. What has changed? Are cars really designed for that abuse? Is it another case of planned obsolescence? Or is it a case of our laziness winning out over good car sense? — Richard Historically, laziness always prevails, Richard. But these days, it’s not doing much harm to the car. In the old days, when you started a cold car, the carburetor would pour gasoline into
the cylinders almost indiscriminately -- as if you were pouring it from a boot. Then unburned gasoline not only would come out the tailpipe and cause smog, but it also would find its way past the piston rings and mix with your oil. That meant your engine was being lubricated with gasoline and oil, instead of just oil — and gas is not nearly as good a lubricant. So the engine would suffer. But these days, all cars are fuel-injected, so the fuel is very carefully metered. Sophisticated pollution-control systems ensure that only the precise amount of fuel that’s needed goes into the cylinders. So, do you harm your car by warming it up in the driveway for 20 minutes nowadays? Not really. Obviously, you’re putting a small amount of wear and tear on the engine by running it when it would otherwise be doing nothing. But gasoline no longer dilutes the oil. And the moisture in the exhaust system is an issue only if you run the car for a brief period and then shut it off. If you drive away, that moisture will eventually evaporate. The biggest issue, really, is that you’re wasting fuel and creating more pollution than you would have if the car were off. But the pull of an 80-degree car interior on an 8-degree morning often is powerful enough to outweigh the 30 cents’ worth of
gas you waste, and the ten-thousandth-inch sea rise you’re personally causing. You’re still right, Richard, that the best way to warm up your car is to start it up, and if it starts, gently drive away. A car warms up faster when it’s driven, generates less wear and tear, wastes less fuel and pollutes less. But no excessive mechanical harm is done to the car by warming it up in the driveway anymore. Dear Car Talk: Since replacing the tires on my car 18 months ago, I’ve experienced several flats. The tires are Goodyear Fuel-Max. When I bring the car back to the tire shop, they inspect the tire and find no puncture. The only reason the mechanics at the shop and I can come up with is that the bar-code labels positioned along the bead of the tire are causing the seal to break. Could there be any other reason? — Frank There shouldn’t be any bar-code labels on the bead, Frank. The bead is supposed to be 100 percent dead clean when you mount the tire. Otherwise, the tire won’t seat properly, and air will leak out. So there’s nothing permanently embossed on or etched into the tire that interferes with the bead. And if there’s a removable label of
some kind that came with the tire, the installer should have removed it. If not, that’s a real rookie mistake, and that’s on him. Assuming the bead was, in fact, clean when the tire was mounted, then you’d look for either a bad air valve or some problem with the rim that was preventing the tire from seating properly. On an older car, that could be rust or corrosion. Or on a car of any age, it could be a bent, warped or cracked rim; I doubt the problem is with the tires themselves. So if you’ve been back to the installer more than once with non-punctured flat tires, have them remove and remount the tires. If you have an older car, without a tirepressure monitoring system (TPMS), you can ask them to replace the air valves, too. Those older valves are a couple of bucks each. On newer cars, the tire-pressure sensors are built into the air valves, making those too expensive to replace without evidence that they’re faulty. But while the tires are off, they can check again and make sure there are no dents or corrosion along the beads that are causing your leaks. Or if they find a price tag there, they can discreetly remove it. Visit Cartalk.com.

Riding for a cause
Pan-Mass Challenge Kids Ride rolls into Manchester By Matt Ingersoll
mingersoll@hippopress.com
Emma Bechert of Bedford was an active community member through church and Girl Scouts and was often seen in productions at the Palace Theatre, even as she battled brain cancer for most of her life. She also helped lead Team Emma’s Enchantment, which raised more than $1 million for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, by cycling in the Pan-Mass Challenge. On Aug. 21, 2016, Emma died at the age of 14. Her memory will be honored at the first annual Greater Manchester Pan-Mass Challenge Kids Ride on the campus of St. Anselm College on Sunday, June 4, from 9 a.m. to noon. Kids ages 3 to 13 can carry on Emma’s legacy by being part of the cancer research fundraising efforts for Dana-Farber and The Jimmy Fund while enjoying bike-riding, face-painting, food and more. “The entire ride is going to be held on the campus and there are two routes,” said event director Terry Flahive. “One is a halfmile loop for older kids and the other is a smaller inner loop better suited for kids on tricycles and with training wheels. … There is no real set distance, but kids can do the routes as many times around as they would like to.” Several activities are also planned for the kids during the ride, Flahive said, like helmet and bike decorating, music, games and contests. “It’s all self-contained [at the college], so the kids will be riding their bikes around the quad on campus, and there’s a grass area around it where all the games and other activities will take place,” he said. After the rides there will be raffle drawings to win prizes like Boston Red Sox game tickets, a round of golf for four at Manchester Country Club in Bedford, a necklace and earrings from Day’s Jewelers in Manchester, and several other raffle baskets and assorted items. The event is one of more than 35 of its kind held across New England as a way for kids to contribute alongside the fundraising of the annual Pan-Mass Challenge. Now in its 37th year, the bike-athon is held at several locations in Massachusetts and has become The Jimmy Fund’s largest single fundraiser for cancer research and treatment, generating more than 50 percent of its annual revenue. Flahive said two other rides are held in New Hampshire — in Exeter, also on June 4, and in Pelham on Sept. 9 — but he added the new Manchester ride is expected to be the largest yet in the Granite State.

“Billy Starr, who started the Pan-Mass Challenge in 1980, ultimately decided that it would be important for kids to understand the importance of health and philanthropy and giving back, so he launched the first Kids Ride in 2005,” Flahive said. The idea to have a Kids Ride in Manchester started when Joel Collins, whose mother was being treated at Dana-Farber at the time, rode in the Pelham Kids Ride last year. “I actually know his parents very well, and he was very enthusiastic about doing a ride in Manchester, so that’s sort of how we kicked it off,” Flahive said. “We were fortunate that we found a great place for it at St. Anselm.” Riders can register online; there is a minimum registration of $25, but Flahive said kids will have until Sept. 1 to meet that fundraising goal with help from their friends and family. All proceeds go to The Jimmy Fund, which has received more than $7.2 million collectively from the Kids Rides alone since their inception in 2005. Flahive said parents and teens over the age of 13 are welcome to volunteer to participate in setting up or breaking down the event, or to even serve as route monitors during the rides.

Manchester will have its first food truck festival when CASA New Hampshire hosts Food Trucks for CASA from Friday, June 2, through Sunday, June 4, at McIntyre Ski Area. Fifteen food trucks from northern New England will be featured, representing an array of cuisine styles. “The food truck climate is something that hasn’t really hit New Hampshire yet,” event co-coordinator Loren Foxx said. “There’s never been an event like this in Manchester, and Manchester doesn’t have a lot of food trucks, so we’re excited about bringing such a wide variety of food trucks to the largest city in the state.” The food trucks will offer southern-style barbecue ribs, chicken and pork; SpanishAmerican cuisine; Jamaican specialties like patties and coco bread; Mediterranean falafel, wraps and salads; french fries and chicken; wood-fired pizza and more. There will also be sweets and snacks like kettle corn, homemade apple crisp, frozen apple cider, Indian pudding, cupcakes, pies, pastries and more. Participating vendors Belgian Acres Farm Carol’s Kettle Corn Clyde’s Cupcakes Crescent City Catering Dudley’s Concessions Great North Aleworks Harpoon Brewery Kevin’s French Fries and Chicken Lester’s BBQ Made With Love 603 Makin’ Jamaican McIntyre Ski Area catering Mediterranean Home Cooking Northeast Pie Co.

While food trucks used to have a reputation for inexperienced chefs and mediocre to poor-quality food, Foxx said, they have recently started making their way into the world of gourmet food. “In a lot of cases, these are chefs with solid cooking resumes and a track record of success,” he said. “Many have been running restaurants and decided to do the food truck thing so they can have more fun and experiment and not be tied down by a lot of the challenges that come with operating a restaurant.” The three-day festival will feature not Food Trucks for CASA When: Friday, June 2, from 4 to 8 p.m.; Saturday, June 3, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Sunday, June 4, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Where: McIntyre Ski Area, 50 Chalet Court, Manchester Cost: General admission costs $5 per person. Packages include one admission ticket, a T-shirt and two beer tickets for $25 or two tickets, two desserts and four beer tickets for $30. Visit: foodtrucksforcasa.com
only food trucks but also beer from two local breweries, games, family activities and live entertainment. Harpoon Brewery will be onsite pouring four brews on draft: Huckleberry UFO hefeweizen, Camp Wannamango mango pale ale, UFO White Ale and Craft Cider. The other brewery, Great North Aleworks, will be pouring its signature IPA, Tie Dyed pale ale, Robust Vanilla Porter and Northbound American Pilsner. “Our goal was to give people the opportunity to come to the event and stick around for a bit,” Foxx said. “They can grab something to eat, enjoy a beer or two and play some cornhole, not just grab something to eat and leave.” Foxx encourages festival-goers to come hungry and bring friends so they can all order food from different trucks and share. “You can eat a bunch of different types of food that you can’t normally get,” he said, “and it’s restaurant-quality food at what’s close to a fast-food price.” Proceeds from the festival will help CASA in advocating for abused and neglected children.

Once seated, they will receive a menu of the evening’s courses and beers, and the first course will be served.

After the final course, the chef will come out to talk with guests about the pairings and answer any questions they may have. There will also be an opportunity to purchase growlers of the beers highlighted in the dinner. “It’s going to be very relaxed,” Bacheller said. “Whether people had a great day or a bad day, this is a place where they can come escape for a while and just hang out and have fun.”

WOKQ Chowder Festival. Courtesy photo.

asykeny@hippopress.com
Spend an afternoon tasting some of the best chowders available on the Seacoast when the Prescott Park Arts Festival in Portsmouth hosts its 33rd annual WOKQ Chowder Festival on Saturday, June 3. Thirteen seacoast-area restaurants will offer samples of their chowders in the park from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Held every year on the first Saturday in June, the festival is one of the oldest and largest chowder tasting events in New England and serves as the kickoff event for Prescott Park’s summer series of events. “Chowder is a classic New England dish, and I think in this area in particular, on the seacoast, it’s one of those things people come looking for,” said Melanie Burger, special events manager for the Prescott Park Arts Festival. “It makes sense to get all the places that do a good chowder together in one place to compare them against each other.” This year’s festival will have returning restaurants, including past winners like The River House and 250 Market, as well as first-time participants like 110 Grille and Clipper Tavern. Restaurants will compete for the title of People’s Choice and Judge’s Choice Best Chowder. The People’s Choice winner will also take home the Golden Ladle trophy, which can be displayed at the restaurant until next year’s festival, and a year of advertising with WOKQ. The festival will feature a variety of chowder recipes. In the past, there have been chowders like smoked scallop, Manhattan, vegetarian, corn and spicy seafood. Most of the chowders are signature items on the restaurants’ regular menus. “They typically stick with the tried and true recipe that they know works and is
already on their menu,” Burger said. “That way, people can go back to the restaurant and order it whenever they want to.” In addition to the chowders, there will be sliced bread provided by Panera Bread, steak samples from Hills Home Market, oysters by Virgin Oyster Co. ($5 for three) and hamburgers and hot dogs, ice cream, drinks and more from the park’s concession stand, The Prop. The festival will also have live music and entertainment provided by WOKQ, and vendors like New Hampshire Community Seafood; Explore the Ocean World, which will bring a touch tank; and New England Fish Mongers, which will host a “Which Fish is This?” game to help people learn to identify fish living in local waters.

When Jeannette Zaza and her husband Jim opened Buza Dairy Bar (25 S. Main St., Concord, 856-8671, buzadairybar.com) along with the adjacent Vibes Gourmet Burgers restaurant in 2015, Jeannette wanted to offer more than just ice cream. “I was always looking for where I could get the best gelato, but we don’t have a lot in the area,” she said. “So I thought, why not bring gelato here?” A lifelong lover of ice cream and gelato, Zaza traveled to Italy to study gelato-making at Carpigiani Gelato University. Now, she develops and makes nine rotating flavors of gelato for Buza, as well as frozen gelato bars, cakes and other treats. What is your must-have kitchen item?

EVERY SUNDAY • ALL DAY! er was all it took before it was ready to go. I followed the recipe almost exactly, only using bone-out pork chops instead of bonein. I left the meat to marinate in the liquid for about two hours, but the recipe suggested it could stay in for up to 12 hours. Garlic and scallions added a fresh element, followed by sweetness from brown sugar, saltiness and sourness from soy sauce and fish sauce, respectively, and a bit of oil helped stretch the volume of the liquid to adequately cover the pork chops. Finished with a bit of salt and pepper, this marinade was as simple as it was delicious. Finally, the char from the grill helped seal in even more flavor. And overall, this marinade was a winning combination of flavors. The source of the recipe, Bon Appetit, suggested the pork be served with a fresh herb salad and provided a recipe for a tantalizing plum and mint salad. I opted to keep it even simpler and served the pork with a family favorite, sticky rice. Ultimately, this recipe resulted in a simple and flavorful marinade. It helped ease me into cooking with powerful flavors such as fish sauce, and best of all it was pantryfriendly. — Lauren Mifsud In a blender, combine shallot, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, oil and pepper. Once combined, transfer marinade to a large resealable plastic bag. Add pork chop and turn to coat. Seal bag, pressing out air; chill at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high.) Remove pork chops from marinade, letting excess drip back into bag; season both sides with salt. Grill pork chops, turning once, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.

Recent hot weather forced me out of the kitchen and to the grill. But instead of opting for the more traditional fare of hamburgers and hot dogs, I wanted to boost the wow factor and turned to this pantry-friendly marinade to impress a few dinner guests. Filled with garlic, scallions, brown sugar and fish sauce, this marinade combines sweet, savory, salty and sour in a delicious combination. I don’t cook with fish sauce too often, as I’m a bit intimidated by its strong flavor. But I found there was enough flavor from the other ingredients to temper the sometimes overwhelming presence of the fish sauce. Typically, my husband adds fish sauce to noodle dishes like pho, or spicy papaya salad. I normally reach around it in the pantry to grab anything else. I thought this recipe would be a good use of a rarely used ingredient in my cooking and was happy to be right. This marinade would be perfect to keep in mind when you’ve purchased some of these ingredients for other recipes and then find yourself stuck with entire bottles left over and little idea of how to utilize them. Like most marinades, this one came together quickly. A few whirls in the blend-

I admittedly had a misperception that Able Ebenezer Brewing Co. in Merrimack had been around a lot longer than it actually has. In fact, I was awfully surprised to hear cofounder and brewer Carl Soderberg say the brewery opened in June 2014. “Everybody always thinks that,” Soderberg said. “They think we’ve been around longer than we have and they think we’re bigger than we are.” Soderberg surmises the size misperception comes from the sheer number of New Hampshire restaurants and lounges — 60 to 70 permanent draft lines statewide — that offer Able Ebenezer brews on tap. I’ll go ahead and surmise the longevity misperception comes from the fact that 2014 feels a little bit like light-years ago in New Hampshire’s craft beer movement. Despite being just three years old, Able Ebenezer, which saw its sales jump by 40 percent last year, has a somewhat “senior” status in New Hampshire’s brewing scene, given that more than 50 breweries have opened in New Hampshire in the last five years. Somehow, I had never tried any of Able Ebenezer’s beer. Soderberg and co-founder Mike Frizzelle were kind enough to give me a tour of the facility, including a sneak peek of their new canning machine and a can design for one of their bestsellers, the “Victory Nor Defeat” double IPA. Able Ebenezer is a bit IPA-heavy (I’m not complaining) with three offerings, but Soderberg and Frizzelle noted that was hardly intentional. Like any other business enterprise, the pair tried to find a void in the craft beer market. Their research revealed no one in New Hampshire was making a quality red ale. They developed a solution: an American red ale called “Auburn.” They anticipated Auburn would be their flagship offering, filling the red ale void. But as is the way with craft beer today, the IPA runs roughshod over business plans and market research. Much to their surprise, “Burn the Ships,” a smoked IPA, quickly took off and became their bestseller, though Victory Nor Defeat is closing in, in terms of sales. Able Ebenezer also brews a coffee porter, “Kilgore,” and another IPA, “Broad Arrow,” along with a schedule of rotating taps. “It’s all about balance and drinkability,” Frizzelle said.
Stoneface Brewing Co. IPA: I’ve tried a few Stoneface beers and liked all of them but I’ve never had its flagship IPA. I’ve been missing out: exciting citrusy hop flavor, well-balanced and not overly bitter. I expect this to become a staple in my fridge.
Mike Frizzelle, left, and Carol Soderberg hold the can design for their double IPA Victory Nor Defeat.
Burn the Ships
Able Ebenezer’s “Burn the Ships” smoked IPA sounds a little intense. Soderberg and Frizzelle acknowledged as much. “That’s what they all say,” Frizzelle said. Then they try it — and love it. As one establishment owner put it to Soderberg as he demanded Burn the Ships, “I don’t care how much it costs.” The beer is remarkably easy to drink even at 7.0 percent ABV, with just a subtle smokiness that really adds some interesting complexity and certainly differentiates it from other IPAs — but that does not take away from the enticing hop character. “It’s nothing like any beer you’ve had before,” Soderberg said. “It’s complex and confusing and well-balanced.” Able Ebenezer utilizes a cherrywoodsmoked malt in brewing; they do not use liquid smoke, as many people suspect. Sometimes I think brewers force styles together that don’t really fit, but there is nothing forced about Burn the Ships.
Victory Nor Defeat
Victory Nor Defeat is a little bit more typical in terms of what you might expect from a double IPA. The hops have an especially fresh, citrusy burst, without being overly bitter. Soderberg and Frizzelle noted the importance of balance multiple times in our conversation, and that attention to detail comes through in their offerings. The hops really jump out of the glass but, even at a hefty 8.0 percent ABV, Victory Nor Defeat goes down easily. Frizzelle said most of the brewery’s regulars are either Victory Nor Defeat or Burn the Ships drinkers. I see no reason why you can’t go back and forth, but that’s just me.

A Venn diagram representing the ideal target patron of this album would encapsulate three traits: fans of Quentin Tarantino soundtracks, TV and movie freaks, and people who dig Chris Isaak. Policastro, the bass-playing leader of this Chicago-based troupe, wears a lot of hats when he’s not releasing records, including lecturing jazz at DePaul, recording and performing with such names as Phil Woods and Pat Boone, and of course teaching, all of which spells serious motivation for making jazz his sole source of income. The setup here is guitar (the Al Di Meola stylings of Dave Miller), bass (Policastro) and drums (Mikel Avery) aiming to re-engineer famous soundtrack pieces, the first of which is the desolate, battered theme from the 1961 Japanese ronin film, obviously a telepathic cue from Policastro to Tarantino that mates spaghettiWestern guitars to Japanese art. An elevator version of “Everybody’s Talkin’” is here, as is the Godfather theme (which wouldn’t have been effective without Policastro’s use of a bow, but the acid test is the theme from TV’s Taxi, which, without a Rhodes keyboard, depends on Miller’s guitar to carry the melody, which works sleepily well.

OK, the gods have spoken, and they say it’s time to pick a random thrash metal band and see if I can listen to it without cracking in half. How do I know the gods spoke to me? Simple: Within 10 minutes I got the promo emails for two bands that have names that are funnier than usual, see above. I haven’t done a two-fer in years now, so this is a win-win-win all around: I make up for lost time covering the thrash-metal scene, Tyrannosorceress and Satanarchist get some press, and you get to know the names of two more thrash metal bands. Let’s go. Satanarchist, from Portland, Oregon, is a DIY project and it shows, with a ton of powerful riffage that could have sounded like early Mastodon (reportedly a departure from their earlier joke-band stuff, at least in the song-title department) but it’s a bit too raw. Dallas band Tyrannosorceress is into the Bathory goat-demon thing, and they’re OK, whatever they’re singing about. Everyone tired of winning yet? B- (for both) — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases
• New Jersey electro-pop princess Halsey is an automated drama machine who became a nerd dream-come-true after proclaiming herself “tri-bi — in other words biracial, bisexual and bipolar,” a remark she wanted to take back the minute she turned 22 and realized how stupid it sounded. She still says many stupid things, including many Taylor Swift-ish TMI outbursts, on her blog and elsewhere, but at least her social stature isn’t at the mercy of angry 11-year-old YouTubers like it was at the beginning. What does all this mean? Nothing, aside from the fact that her new album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom will be in stores on June 2. Producers include Lido and Greg Kurstin. Now let’s go investigate this alleged album from this alleged human. The single “Now Or Never” has trap/snap-dance elements under her ridiculously Auto-Tuned Bones Thugs-speed self-service. Half the video is an elaborate barfing of pop culture references that mushes Game of Thrones and Hieronymus Bosch together. The costumes get an A, I suppose. • British neo-folkie Marika Hackman is a multi-instrumentalist, but you may be more concerned with her street cred, and toward that I’ll tell you that she’s on Sub Pop Records, which would mean in general that she’s cool in a way. Well, it used to mean that, but no one can tell you how to feel about an artist, so just ignore that part. I’m Not Your Man, her second album, is coming to your record store any day now, the Garbage-meetsDido-like single “Boyfriend” leading things off. Some weird shoegaze stuff in there, it’s OK. • OK you emos, it’s time to dress up like a rooster-monster or whatever your deal is, when the new All Time Low album, Last Young Renegade, gets into your brain! The title track starts with a really pretty arpeggio, which gets you expecting a really good song, and then they try to be Goo Goo Dolls, which gets you expecting a really good song even more, and then the chorus comes in and you realize it’s just another emo song, and it sort of rips off Echosmith. Yay and whatnot. • London Grammar are a trip-hop-ish trio from guess where. Truth is a Beautiful Thing, their second full-length, is on the way; let’s go to YouTube and see what the fuss is about. Boy, the title track drags out this bummed-out vibe forever, one of those “it’ssnowing-out-and-why-did-you-dump-me” ideas. A poor-girl’s Adele crossed with Sigur Ros for Dummies, basically, nothing of note. — Eric W. Saeger

Chaos and Kindness, starring, produced and directed by Recycled Percussion, is kind of like a mix between Jackass and Make-AWish, says band member Justin Spencer. The new TV show, which airs on WMUR, showcases the Goffstown-founded band conducting acts of kindness for deserving people. The third episode is set to air Thursday, June 1, at 7 p.m. Spencer said kindness is at the core of the band’s foundation, which garnered national attention on America’s Got Talent in 2009. Group members receive more than 500 emails a week from fans sending information about worthy people to help out. “I think that anyone who has power in a celebrity status who doesn’t use their power for good is missing out on an opportunity to make a difference in the world,” said Spencer, who also puts effort into these causes to teach the importance of helping others to his two daughters. “I didn’t grow up with a lot of money, and I certainly didn’t grow up in a family where my parents were famous. … This gives me an opportunity to educate them on the differences people can make.” The first 12 episodes feature people from New Hampshire, where the group stops every year to visit friends and family and to perform concerts. (The next concerts are at the Music Hall on June 8 and Veterans Park on June 9, respectively.) Band members conceptualized the show a year ago, and after receiving multiple offers from national TV networks, they decided to produce it themselves. “We’ve always been adamant about our brand — about being kind to others. [The national networks] wanted more the ‘chaos’ side — they wanted to see Jackass — but we wanted it to be like Make-A-Wish,” Spencer said via phone.
Episode 1 brought a New Hampshire man who’d lost four kids to the Super Bowl, where Recycled Percussion performed this year, and in Episode 2, band members created a special gift for a family whose dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. This Thursday’s episode features an elderly couple from Londonderry, Patrick and Patti Sheridan, who were evicted from their home after living there for 37 years. “We feel the elderly are kind of cast aside,” Spencer said. “Once we met them, we realized the love they had for each other was just incredibly immense. It was something people dream of having, love that’s super-deep. A true soul mate. We wanted to tell their story by reenacting their wedding for them.” Hundreds of people showed up, to the surprise of the Sheridans. “The wedding was just remarkable. The words a 91-year-old man says to his bride onstage — you couldn’t write that stuff. It was from the heart,” he said.

She was a student at Harvard Law School, determined to study the death penalty, which she’d been passionately opposed to since childhood. “When I learned about the death penalty as a child, it had a dramatic impact on me. That the law could choose to take somebody’s life stayed with me,” Marzano-Lesnevich, who lives in Boston, said via phone last week. “I knew that, going to law school, I wanted to understand it.” But her certainty in this stance came crashing down during her first internship at a New Orleans law firm that summer while listening to confession tapes of Ricky Langley. The child molester and murderer of 6-yearold Jeremy Guillory in 1992 was on retrial to reverse his death sentence. His descriptions dug up her own memories of sexual abuse. “When I was watching the tapes, I was feeling my grandfather’s hands on me, and despite what I wanted to work for, what I believed in, I wanted him to die,” said Marzano-Lesnevich, who felt so shocked by her response, she took up academic research instead of practicing law after graduation. “If my feelings about a case changed as soon as it became personal, how could I become a lawyer?” Marzano-Lesnevich thought about it for years after the internship, and in 2008, she returned to Louisiana hoping to learn the facts. At that point, her intention wasn’t to write a book — just to stop feeling haunted. Upon reading the records, it was clear she wasn’t the only person who had reacted to the boy’s death personally. “When I got to the records … I was surprised to discover that, rather than being alone in seeing my past in the case, all these other people had, too,” she said. “When one of the jury foremen talks about the case, he talks about his brother-in-law. The defense attorney, in his last statement, talks about his father.” It shouldn’t be too surprising MarzanoLesnevich chose creative nonfiction as the avenue to explore the case. While in law school, she took fiction writing classes at night with the school’s continuing education program, where one of her teachers was Paul Harding, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for his novel Tinkers. In 2006, one year after graduating from law school, she enrolled in
Emerson College to obtain a master of fine arts degree in fiction writing. Marzano-Lesnevich began researching in earnest in 2010. The result is The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir, released May 16 by Flatiron Books, which she talks about Thursday, June 8, at the Peterborough Toadstool Bookshop at noon, then again at 7 p.m. at Water Street Bookstore. Marzano-Lesnevich tried to make the memoir as factual as possible. If a character feels or says something, it’s because she has documentation suggesting that. Dialogue was only edited for purposes of clarity and pacing. Sources at the back of the book span pages and include public court documents, transcripts, newspaper articles, television coverage, even a play. “[The murder] is actually known, somewhat, in other countries, and yet it happened here, and we don’t know much about it. I wanted to bring the story here,” she said. In its essence, The Fact of a Body is about how we tell and understand stories. It weaves together Marzano-Lesnevich’s, Langley’s and Guillory’s tales and is written with a structure that mirrors a court trial — which, in a way, is kind of like the ultimate storytelling battle, Marzano-Lesnevich said. “The book spans about 50 years and three families, and I knew there would be a lot of complex things to keep track of. There are big issues in the heart of this book, and so I wanted to tell [readers] a page-turning story to get there,” said Marzano-Lesnevich, who wrote a large portion of the book at the MacDowell Colony, in 2011 and 2015, including the ending. Putting together the book was a long, arduous process — physically, mentally, emotionally. Reading certain documents and remembering certain things was especially painful. “Writing the memoir was not therapeutic. The years I was working on it, people said to me, ‘Oh, you’re writing a memoir? That must be so therapeutic!’” she said. “I wanted to say, ‘Not if you’re doing it right!’ But to my shock, I can happily report that having written the memoir is deeply therapeutic.” Upcoming events Toadstool Bookshop: 12 Depot Square, Peterborough, Thursday, June 8, at noon Water Street Bookstore: 125 Water St., Exeter, Thursday, June 8, at 7 p.m. Contact: alexandria-marzano-lesnevich.com

I was willing to give Ivanka Trump a fair shake. After all, when she was on The Apprentice, we were led to believe that she was poised and accomplished, that she was a force to be reckoned with. After reading this book, however, I’ve lost that image forever. But let’s begin at the beginning, shall we? A preface is where an author gets to talk one-on-one with the reader. It’s a chance to let her hair down, to explain what might not be apparent in the book, and to be intimate. But when the author signs her name in full caps, which coincidentally is how she identifies her products, you know From Manchester’s Original that what you have in your hands Auto Glass Companyis no true memoir or insightful self-help book. Make no mistake, Women Who Work by Ivanka Trump is nothing more than a calculated extension of her brand. Chapter 1, first paragraph: with a scarf wrapped tightly around her neck, Ivanka pauses during an eight-hour hike in Patagonia to view the scene below. She ponders whether she should join her father’s business or not. “What I didn’t know was what working for my family would be like.” Ivanka writes. “Could I thrive in an environment where there were such high expectations, tied to the most personal of relationships? … What would happen if I performed poorly? Or what would happen if, in spite of excelling, there wasn’t great professional chemistry?” Apparently we all want to know the answers to these burning (and, let’s face it, redundant) questions. From that mountaintop in Patagonia, I think it’s fair to say that the book goes downhill. Ivanka claims the reason she wrote this book was to “unleash the full power of women and girls both in our country and around the world.” She does this by employing some rather questionable techniques. The fonts: Each chapter begins on a right-hand page and is faced by a pink page (because what better way to empower women than to use pink) that presents an artfully designed quote complete with hashtag #ITWISEWORDS (suitable for Instagram posting). On one of these pinkpowered inspirational pages, someone decided to use seven different fonts and bolding to get the point across. It is dizzying in its presentation. The quotes: Now it’s time to talk about all the quotes used in this book. I have taught writing classes. I have assigned research reports. This book reads like a (too long) research report. Quotes or stories from some-
one who’s famous are followed by a few paragraphs explaining how a particular quote fits into Ivanka’s life and then another quote is quickly introduced. Lather, rinse, repeat. There is very little original thought in these pages; instead what you get is personalized regurgitation. As you might have heard by now, Ivanka didn’t ask permission or even give a head’s up to the many, many people whose words she used. I would tend to place a wager that Maya Angelou and Nelson Mandela would not have been overly pleased to know they were represented in this book. The voice: Trump is the book’s only author (no co-writer is listed) but the voice is not consistent and even breaks mid-sentence. “One life isn’t just about trying to achieve balance (it doesn’t exist!) or managing blended priorities; it’s about ….” It’s almost as if someone went through the finished text and added parenthetical comments after the fact. Hmmmm. The message: To be honest, it’s a little difficult to relate to a woman who tells you that if you only wear the right four-inch heels or carry the best accessories you will feel empowered. I couldn’t really empathize with her complaining that while at the office she occasionally has to think about what to have for dinner (again!). The editing: I can’t blame this entire mess just on Ivanka — somewhere an agent, an editor and a publisher were involved. Well, shame on them. The formatting is horrendous, lists are not uniform, information boxes are scattered every which way, and do I have to mention the pink fontfilled pages again? The editor must have been asleep. That’s really the only explanation. There are grammatical mistakes and unnecessarily long sentences (one particular sentence is a six-line paragraph.) The language is so heavy in corporateese (“Your mission statement is meant to codify,” “architecting your life”) that any chance at meaning gets lost by the time you get to the end of the sentence. The reading list: Of the 56 books, articles and TED Talks referenced, 42 are written by men and 14 by women. There are some very strong women who write about empowerment, but you have to want to look for them. Bottom line: To be fair, there are some fairly decent bits of good advice (nothing new, just solid advice) about work-related issues like running meetings (listen and have an agenda), but they are deeply hidden within all the vapidness that is this book. If the intent was to empower women and girls, I’m afraid that Ivanka sorely missed the mark. D- — Wendy E.N. Thomas

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
Baywatch (R)
Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron don the swimwear in Baywatch, an uneven first draft for a comedy adaptation of the 1990s TV show.
Mitch Buchannon (Johnson) is the proud leader of the Baywatch, the squad of lifeguards keeping watch over the beach. Though saving people from drowning is their first mission, they also keep an eye out for smugglers hiding diamonds in surfboards or sandgrifters stealing from beachgoers or, in the case of the current menace, a theatrically villainous, hotelowning drug dealer named Victoria Leeds (Priyanka Chopra). Victoria’s evil plan includes pressuring small business owners to sell her all the land around the beach, bribing the city council and selling highly potent drugs, which really feels like an unnecessary side gig. But even though her plan is poorly formed and catching her is pretty decidedly not the job of the lifeguards, Mitch has his eye on Victoria. The rest of his crew — Stephanie Holden (Ilfenesh Hadera) and CJ Parker (Kelly Rohrbach) — seem to take their job as scantily dressed law enforcement just as seriously. As do two of the three new recruits: Summer Quinn (Alexandra Daddario) joins because it’s what she lives to do, Ronnie Greenbaum (Jon Bass) joins because he has the hots for CJ and Matt Brody (Zac Efron) joins because it counts as the community service mandated by his plea deal. Brody is a bad-boy Olympic swimmer who thinks he’s too good for the Baywatch but, once saddled with him, Mitch is determined to make a team player out of him. “This could be like 21 Jump Street,” is what I’ve been telling myself about this movie. “This could be like 21 Jump Street” was also clearly the ruling principle for this movie. Baywatch seemed to be shooting for that movie’s very specific blend of comedy-action and meta humor. I can see how this movie tried to put together the relationships and situations at this movie’s core: the Mitch and Brody relationship, Mitch’s belief that his mission includes some policing, the team aspect of the Baywatch team, the idea of a cartoonish villain. I can see what wells they’re going to for their jokes, and I can see how they constructed the story to build in opportunity for specifically R-rated gags. Even though I never watched Baywatch, I can even see the winking callbacks to the show. Generally, throughout this movie, I can see what they’re trying to do. In fact, like an insideout and not-yet-complete home-ec project I can see all of the seams in this movie. And, for the same reason that you don’t generally buy clothes with straight pins still in them, I really would have preferred to wait for a more finished product with this mov-

Baywatch
ie. Something where the plot holes were filled and the comic edges were sharpened. Dwayne Johnson is fun here. This is not a surprise — he’s generally fun in most things. The movie doesn’t seem completely certain who Mitch is, so it plays with his size, his general badass-ness, his ability to be both serious and goofy at the same time. It can’t seem to decide whether Mitch is a police detective trapped in a lifeguard’s body or the lifeguards in this world really are supposed to be police of the beach — answering that question would help the movie pick a lane in terms of what it’s doing with the whole idea of the Baywatch as caper investigators. Efron is also fun, particularly when a movie is playing with his general aging boy-band member quality. The movie has a more clearly drawn arc for his character — misfit who has to learn team spirit — but there is still a sense that the movie is letting previous Efron roles (the frat brother in the Neighbors movies for example) do the work of creating a character here. The biggest problem with Baywatch is that “I can see that this is the joke” is not the same as “this joke is funny.” While it has plenty of elements to make for a good bit of dopey grown-up comedy, Baywatch was never able to pull those parts together. C Rated R for language throughout, crude sexual content, and graphic nudity. Directed by Seth Gordon with a screenplay by Damian Shannon & Mark Swift, Baywatch is an hour and 56 minutes long and distributed by Paramount Pictures.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (PG-13)
Johnny Depp cashes a check for his fifth outing as Capt. Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, a medio-
cre action movie that I disliked less than previous Pirates movies.
I’m not saying I liked it; I medium-ed it? I “sure, whatever”-ed it? I “OK, if that’s what’s on”-ed it? The first three adventures in cartoonish pirating were wrapped around the love story of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley). The fourth (out in 2011, On Stranger Tides) was its own story, something about the search for the Fountain of Youth. This movie revisits the Turners via Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites), the son of Elizabeth and Will (who is still cursed to live on the Flying Dutchman as half man, half ocean stuff) whose existence was shown in the post-credits scene for the third movie. Now, Henry is a British Navy worker bee who is using his time at sea to search for Poseidon’s trident, a magical knickknack that will break his father’s curse. As a searcher for nautical items of legend, he’s also learned about a variety of other supernatural ocean tales and thus tries to warn the ship’s captain when it appears that a rotted ghost ship full of undead Spanish sailors is about to board the British ship and kill everybody. This feels like a thing that happens a lot in these movies and maybe the British Navy should have some sort of contingency plan. Anywhoo, they don’t and everybody else on the ship dies and for some reason lone survivor Henry is arrested as a traitor when he washes ashore. Meanwhile on the same Caribbean island, Carina (Kaya Scodelario) is also in some legal trouble because, as an orphaned woman who knows about science, she’s accused of witchcraft. Also meanwhile, everybody’s favorite tipsy lawbreaker Jack Sparrow (Depp) will be joining Carina and Henry for execution day, having (ineptly) robbed a bank. The three main characters meet in custody, leading to an escape and a journey to find the
trident. Each person involved has their own goals: Henry’s is to save his father, Carina’s is murky but it also has to do with the father she never met and Jack’s is even murkier but generally he likes the idea of having a magical item that will allow him to be Ruler of the Seas. He is particularly desirous of power since Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) has taken all the good piracy for himself and an undead Spanish Capt. Salazar (Javier Bardem) is gunning for him because of a backstory not worth explaining. Or, to put it another way, there are at any give time up to four ships (British, Spanish ghosts, Barbossa’s and Sparrow’s) chasing each other, while Carina and Henry — two attractive young people — bicker-banter but have a shared goal and Jack Sparrow Jack-Sparrows around, including in one scene, for no particular reason, with Paul McCartney, who is playing his uncle. Perhaps because I was expecting this movie to be two hours of mushy action movie bordeom, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I didn’t hate Dead Men Tell No Tales. I can’t really pinpoint anything I liked about it — I was going to say that the Jack Sparrow sections of the movie were the least interesting but I didn’t really care about Carina and Henry or the Spanish ghost ship or Barbossa either. I think maybe some of the Johnny Depp Sparrow mugging was a little more tolerable than in previous outings. The action scenes, while overlong at some points, had their moments of visual fun. There is a very specific brightness to these movies (less so if, like me, you accidentally see them in 3-D) and an overall quality to the movie, in terms of both appearance and substance, that I would describe as live-action cartoon. Carina and Henry didn’t grab me, not as individuals or as a couple, but they also weren’t terrible — inoffensive copies of the Elizabeth and Will characters and relationship would probably be the best way to describe them. “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is an inoffensive copy of earlier movies in the series!” is not something you will see on any movie poster but it is probably the best way to describe this. It feels like the series has settled into that all-important movie niche of “nobody will love it but everybody age 12 and over will be OK with it.” And, yes, while that’s another non-endorsement you won’t see on a movie poster, it does help this movie stretch up to a C+. Rated PG-13 for sequences of adventure violence, and some suggestive content. Directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg with a screenplay by Jeff Nathanson, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is two hours and nine minutes long and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

By Michael Witthaus

• Folked up: Boasting fine three-part harmonies and an everything-but-thekitchen-sink approach to music, The Buskers are “folk impurists” mining styles from jug band to jazz. Featuring Katy Sommer on violin and mandolin, Craig Jaster playing piano and Paul Hubert, also a popular solo performer, on guitar, the trio soars, so don’t miss a chance to see them in a listening room setting. Go Friday, June 2, 8 p.m., Amoskeag Studio, 250 Commercial St., Suite 2007, Manchester. Tickets $15 at amoskeagstudio.com. • Laugh track: Fresh off an appearance at Samantha Bee’s Not The White House Correspondent’s Dinner, Jordan Carlos appears in Portsmouth. The former Nightly Show writer is also known for his “one black friend” role on The Colbert Report and as the star of MTV’s I Just Want My Pants Back. Carlos just announced on Facebook that he’s sold a sitcom. Go Friday, June 2, 8 p.m, Music Hall Loft, 131 Congress St., Portsmouth. Tickets are $20 at themusichall.org. • Twang time: “The worst day on the road beats spreading paint,” sings Lauren Staley of The Whiskey Gentry on “Following You,” the lead song from its new CD, Dead Ringer, an ode to touring life. The Atlanta-based band are veterans of Shaky Knees and Merlefest; “Staley’s vocals fit nicely into the Kacey Musgraves/ Maren Morris galactic country orbit,” writes No Depression. Go Saturday, June 3, 9 p.m., Shaskeen Pub, 909 Elm St., Manchester. See thewhiskeygentry.com. • In memory: Before she lost her battle with pediatric cancer at age 13, Maggie Philbrook was a percussionist who liked to “play loud things.” At Mag-A-Palooza, local musicians including Gretchen & the Pickpockets, Pat & the Hats, Yankee Cockfight, Miketon & the Night Blinders, Woodsmith & Hersch and others play to celebrate Philbrick’s life and raise money for her Maggie’s Beat charity.

After setbacks, volunteer group presses on with Manchester event By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
For over a year starting in late 2015, the organizers of Old Sol Music Hall focused on turning the Rex Theatre, a defunct Amherst Street movie house, into a 350-seat live music venue. In February, negotiations with Manchester’s Development Corporation broke down. The unveiling of similar venues in Concord and Nashua signaled an end of the effort, forcing a need to regroup. Old Sol Executive Director Matt Wilhelm said in a recent interview that although his organization’s catalyst had ended, the spirit guiding it was still very much alive and reflected in events like the upcoming Summer Serve-a-thon at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. The June 7 event brings together volunteers to package 22,000 ready-to-cook meals for families on behalf of End Hunger NE, and ends with a performance by indie music act The Suitcase Junket. “The mission and vision in a lot of ways remains the same; we’re really working to leverage the arts to create positive community impact,” Wilhelm said. He said another venue is not out of the question, but the focus on “pop-up events” like the Serve-a-thon stood front and center. “We’re just excited to be doing another event, and taking some time to figure out what’s next,” he said. Losing out in their attempts to create a Old Sol Summer Serve-a-thon w/ The Suitcase Junket When: Wednesday, June 7, 7:30 p.m., with volunteer food packaging starting at 5 p.m. Where: Delta Dental Stadium, Manchester Tickets: $10 at oldsol.org (volunteers attend free)
Night Life Music, Comedy & Parties • OUTDOOR MUSIC at Main Street Warner (16 E. Main Street, Warner 456-2700) on Sunday, June 4, 6 p.m. Kenny Weiland CD release concert, w/ Joey Pierog, Brad Myrick and others (in Gallery) $10 suggested donation and CD. • SUMMER SERVE-A-THON at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium (One Line Drive, Manchester 852-7382) on Wednesday, June 7, 7:30 p.m. $10 – The Suitcase Junket performs following a pre-show service project with 100+ community volunteers packaging 22,000 meals for local families

multipurpose performance space was hugely deflating, Wilhelm said. “We worked really hard to share our vision with people [and] initially, we felt like we let some people down,” he said. “It took me a little while to accept; initially, we thought maybe we should fold.” After a period of “Sol searching,” they pledged to press on. Wilhelm said that while the effort to define how an idea like Old Sol can fit in the state’s social firmament is ongoing, “The goal remains the same — it’s about community, helping to provide entertainment so that young people, and millennials, in particular, are really motivated to work and live and enjoy their time in New Hampshire. We think there is a void, that the scene is not fully developed.” There are a few small ironies in the upcoming show. A huge collective effort led by over 100 volunteers grouped into multiple teams will be capped by the ulti-

mate one-man band playing in the city’s newest performance space. Built during the off season in the entrance area of the Fisher Cats ball park, the Plaza Stage has full sound, video and lighting — a worthy upgrade to Victory Park, which hosted the first Serve-a-thon in 2016. “We knew we wanted to have our service project and concert in the same place or a short distance apart [and] the Fisher Cats came on board as a partner … it was just a one-stop shop for us,” Wilhelm said. “We’re excited about a new location and as this evolves over the years, we’ll pick some unique and different places to put on the event.” Wilhelm, a veteran of touring with bands like Dispatch and Guster, has never met this year’s headliner face to face but said there’s “one degree of separation” between them. “One of Dispatch’s guitar techs does some pedal work for him, and I’m excited to see his show first hand,” he said. “He reminds me a bit of Dick Van Dyke’s character in Mary Poppins.” Going forward, the 30-something Wilhelm is steadfastly optimistic about staying committed to his hometown. “I think it is easy to be disappointed, to say, ‘Old Sol didn’t work out and that means Manchester isn’t serious about retaining young people,’ but I don’t think that’s actually the case,” he said. “It was circumstantial; this particular deal didn’t work out.” The energy that launched Old Sol remains. “We’re excited to see what’s next; we think we are on to something,” Wilhelm said. “Based on the feedback from the community — grassroots supporters, business leaders and other cultural leaders in this part of New Hampshire — there is a future for Old Sol. We’re just not sure what shape that is going to take yet.”

• Le Plat Sal (The Dirty Plate) restaurant in the Marais district of Paris features specialties actually containing dirt or as Chef Solange Gregoire calls it, “the mud of the earth that caresses our toes, the sand kissed by the sun, and rocks.” Mused a Food Network host in April, “What’s left? People are already eating snout-to-tail, leaves-to-roots....” Gregoire extolled her four-star dishes, including pastry crust a la Mont Lachat rock and a Boue Ragout stew simmered with silt from the River Seine. (NPR also noted that the founder of The Shake Shack was “quietly” planning a new American chain, Rock in Roll.) • Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak’s 98-page paper (leaked to Business Insider in April) touted the wealth obtainable by capturing the platinum reputed to be in asteroids. The costs to mine the stone (rockets, launch expenses, etc.) might have dropped recently to about $3 billion a trifle next to the $50 billion worth of platinum Poponak said a single asteroid might contain. (On the other hand, experts point out, such abundance of platinum might crash the worldwide price.) • The Twisted Ranch restaurant in the Soulard neighborhood of St. Louis, saw crowds swell in March after it revamped its menu with more than two dozen items made with ranch dressing (including ranch-infused Bloody Marys). As one satisfied visitor put it, “Ranch is everyone’s guilty pleasure.”
thought he was cheating on her, and that she had spent the previous night “thinking” about what to do, “pray(ing) about it and stuff.” (However, she said, “I did it anyway.”)
New World order
• The Drone Economy: (1) A Netherlands startup company announced in March its readiness to release drones capable of tracking freshly deposited dog poop (via an infrared glow from the pile) and, eventually, be guided (perhaps via GPS and artificial intelligence) to scoop up the deposits and carry them away. (2) Potentially Unemployed Bees: Researcher-inventor Eijiro Miyako announced in the journal Chem in March that he had created a drone that pollinates flowers (though requiring human guidance until GPS and AI can be enabled). Miyako’s adhesive gel lightly brushes pollen grains, collecting just enough to touch down successfully onto another flower to pollinate it. • Social critics and futurists suggest that the next great market for computerization (already underway) will be selling “human improvement” (alas, perhaps merely helping already successful people to even greater heights). Some sports teams are experimenting with “transcranial direct current stimulation” as a way to put athletes’ brains into constant alert, and KQED Radio reported in May that about a third of the San Francisco Giants players have donned weak-current headsets that cover the motor cortex at the top of the head. The team’s sports scientist (bonus name: Geoff Unclear on the concept Yale University graduate students (well, Head!) said players performed slightly at least eight of them), claiming “union” better on some drills after the stimulastatus, demonstrated in front of the Yale president’s home in April demanding better benefits (beyond the annual free tuition, $30,000 stipends and free health care). Some of the students characterized their action as an “indefinite fast” while others called it a “hunger strike.” However, a pamphlet associated with the unionizing made it clear that strikers could go eat any time they got hungry.
Smooth reactions
(1) Police in Cleveland are searching for the woman whose patience ran out on April 14 awaiting her young son’s slow haircut at Allstate Barber College. She pulled out a pistol, took aim at the barber and warned: “I got two clips! I’ll pop you.” (She allowed him to finish up more purposefully and left without further incident.) (2) Barbara Lowery, 24, was arrested for disorderly conduct in Cullman, Alabama, in May after police spotted her standing on a car, stomping out the windshield and smashing the sun roof. She said it was a boyfriend’s car, that she
tion. (One the other hand, at press time, the Giants were still next-to-last in the National League West.)
The aristocrats!
(1) Recent alarming headlines: “UK woman who urinated on Trump golf course loses case” (London). “Fish thief on unicycle busted by DNR (Department of Natural Resources)” (Battle Creek, Michigan). And, from the Northwest Florida Daily News (Fort Walton Beach), all on the same day (5-16-2017): (1) “Man throws fork at woman in fight over dog poop.” (2) “Senior citizen punches husband for taking Lord’s name in vain.” (3) “Two people busted for creating fake football league, lawmen say.” (4) “Man denies defecating in parking lot despite officer witnessing deed.”
Inexplicable
Clearing the Conscience: (1) In February, a 52-year-old man who, arrested for DUI and taken to a police station in Germany’s Lower Saxony state, wound up spontaneously confessing to a 1991 coldcase murder in Bonn. Police confirmed that, after reopening the files, they found details matching the man’s account, though the man himself was “not quite clear” why he had confessed. (2) A game warden in Titus County, Texas, reported in December arresting a man for possessing a shotgun (the man’s third arrest as a convicted felon with a firearm). The warden had spotted the weapon only because the man “out of the blue” approached him and asked if he wanted to inspect his hunting license (which, it turns out, was in order).
