One year ago, Leadership New Hampshire partnered with the NH Endowment for Health to consider ways we might achieve a more just and equitable society here in our own state, one where all citizens, regardless of color, ethnic origin, religious conviction or sexual orientation, can be safe, free and successful.

We undertook this project because it addresses directly the questions that, 25 years ago, led to the establishment of LNH, namely, “What kind of state do we want and what do we need to do to achieve it?”

LNH was “commissioned” if you will, to ask that question regularly and, through its program, to examine the challenges, problems, needs, people and resources of our state so that, better informed, our graduates will be better engaged to address those needs, whether through elected office, public service, volunteerism or philanthropy.

But however sincere our effort to fulfill that mission may be, we often don’t know what we don’t know. I speak specifically of the often unacknowledged inequity among our fellow citizens. Those who are “different” — in whatever way that may be — are perceived differently and know they are perceived (and often treated) differently. Yes, we are all citizens, but we are also all different, and there is an all-too-human inclination to stay with those like us and to be unaware of the experiences of others who are different, whether that difference is color, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or even political persuasion.

The LNH program brought a new lens to the topics we examined. We tried to gain some perspective of the experience of minority communities in our state, whether through education, health and healthcare, business and the economy, families and criminal justice, the environment, or the arts, culture and media. We hoped to understand better the stake all our citizens have in our state and consider ways we can address inequity, bridge divides, and build community.

This was, and will continue to be, an added dimension to the work of LNH. It is also an experiment, one that challenges us — as the first class of LNH was challenged — to ask, “What kind of state do we want and what do we need to do to achieve it? That first program year ended this week and many resolutions were taken to find ways to expand recognition of the need to honor and safeguard diversity across our state. With nearly 1,000 alums, LNH can serve as a partner to others sharing this goal. But if not us, then who?

NEWS & NOTES Keno-garten

The legislature passed a plan to partially fund full-day kindergarten in the state by legalizing keno gambling and directing the revenues from the game to the state’s education trust fund. “I am proud to be the first governor to deliver a real full-day kindergarten program for communities across our state,” said Gov. Chris Sununu in a written statement. The Republican governor championed full-day kindergarten funding as a priority in his inaugural address. The Senate approved a couple bipartisan plans that would have fully or partially funded fullday kindergarten. One bill to fully fund the program was tabled in anticipation of including it in the budget.

The House passed a similar bill after some back and forth in committee, which resulted in the plan to incorporate new keno revenues. The final votes in the House and Senate gained support from both parties, but Democratic leaders in the Senate were less than happy with the final product, according to a press release. Senate Democratic Leader Jeff Woodburn said in a statement, “It’s disappointing that in the final hour, Governor Sununu and Republicans snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by removing full-day kindergarten from the budget, abandoning full funding, and choosing to push a half-measure tied to keno.” Sen. David Watters, the Democratic sponsor of the bill, which originally fully funded the program, said previously that he would support a partial funding plan as a step in the right direction.

State budget

The Republican-led legislature put aside factional disputes to pass an $11.7 billion state budget for 2018-2019, according to press releases. Democrats roundly objected to the budget, pointing to what they saw as unused revenues, new business tax cuts that would kick in next biennium and program needs that were left unfunded. The GOP’s passing of the budget was no sure thing, since the New Hampshire House Freedom Caucus, a conservative and libertarian-minded group of lawmakers, sank the House budget earlier this spring. The caucus met and voted to approve the budget in the days leading up to the House vote “despite substantial concerns” over increasing the size of govern-

How to navigate lake warnings

“ADVISORY. High levels of bacteria have been detected in this water.” If you see a yellow sign with those words at your local swimming spot, it means the state Department of Environmental Services wants you to know there’s a risk of getting sick. But not all bacteria threats are the same.

So far this month, there have been three cyanobacteria warnings in the state. According to the Current Beach Advisories map on the DES website, there are 10 advisories as of press time, two of which are for cyanobacteria.

Those are at Silver Lake in Hollis and Elm Brook Park Beach in Hopkinton. Earlier this month, Goose Pond in Canaan also had a cyanobacteria warning, but that has since been lifted, according to Dave Neils, the chief water pollution biologist at DES. “We’ve actually had documented blooms at about eight lakes and citizen reports at about four different ones,” Neils said.

Cyanobacteria warnings are different from other kinds of bacteria warnings because cyanobacteria blooms are caused by different things and can pose more long-term health threats.

Neils said cyanobacteria, once referred to as blue-green algae, are photosynthetic organisms that are classified as bacteria and can carry a number of harmful toxins. The two most common strains, or taxa, in the state are called microcystis and anabaena.

“They’re very unique organisms in that they can produce multiple toxins,” Neils said.

Because they behave like plankton and use sunlight to synthesize food, cyanobacteria blooms occur in response to a number of environmental factors. While the full combination of factors is still difficult to monitor and predict, generally blooms occur after

heavy rains that are followed by a stretch of hot, sunny weather.

“That allows for the bacteria to grow much faster … and they have this perfect bloom condition,” Neils said.

Blooms often appear as surface slime or a hazy cloud.

“To the layperson it presents itself as a scum on the surface of the water. It has a very bright green sheen to it, sometimes bluish green. Other times it can be suspended in the water column,” Neils said.

Unlike other bacterial loads, cyanobacteria threats can change rapidly.

“The cyanobacteria bloom can be there one day and it can be gone the next,” Neils said.

“Almost overnight the blooms can go away.”

This happens because cyanobacteria control their position in the water with tiny gas vacuoles. As the ideal conditions for blooms disappear, they release the gas and sink to the bottom of the lake.

For lakes where cyanobacteria is actively blooming, humans and animals can become ill through ingestion but also skin contact and inhaling an aerosolized form of the bacteria, according to Neils.

Among the toxins that cyanobacteria produce are some neurotoxins.

“There can be very severe short-term health effects if you have one of these neurotoxins that you ingest,” Neils said.

There have been reports in other states of pets dying from drinking water with heavy blooms or licking themselves after swimming in such water. There have been no reports of humans or animals dying in New Hampshire from cyanobacteria so far, Neils said.

Cyanobacteria can also cause long-term nerve and liver damage. There’s also some new research that’s found a correlation between areas with frequent cyanobacterial blooms and the neurodegenerative disease ALS. But Neils said there’s more research needed to prove a causal link.

Sparking change

State legalizes two pyrotechnics in time for the Fourth

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Two bills signed into law this year have legalized firecrackers and something called “toy smoke devices” for consumer use.

Against the objections of the New Hampshire Fire Marshal’s office and opposition from most Democratic lawmakers, the legislature legalized the devices. Republican Gov. Chris Sununu signed the toy smoke device bill on June 16 and the firecracker bill on June 2. Both bills went into effect immediately.

An attempt to legalize firecrackers last year was vetoed by then-Gov. Maggie Hassan, a Democrat.

Republican Rep. David Welch of Kingston said both votes were largely along party lines.

Those in opposition said firecrackers were potentially dangerous. Nationally, firecrackers are consistently listed among the top three fireworks devices that cause injury, along with reloadable mortars and bottle rockets. Reloadable mortars became legal in the state about six years ago, while bottle rockets are still banned.

But Welch said those concerns are overblown.

“Firecrackers when I was growing up were rather large,” Welch said. “Today’s firecrackers are approved by the federal government. … They’re no longer the dangerous type that I grew up with.”

Those smaller firecrackers approved by the federal government and now the state are limited to 50 milligrams of powder.

Fire Marshal Bill Degnan said the risk is that they’re so small, children or adults might think they’re harmless and not use caution.

Welch is skeptical of such claims.

E. coli

Unlike cyanobacteria, which behave like a plant with bug-like properties, E. coli is a bacterial species that is not native to water bodies. Rather, it is native to the gastrointestinal tract of warm-blooded mammals, which means if you can find it in a lake, it probably came from feces.

But when warnings are issued and lakes are closed due to high E. coli levels, public health officials aren’t primarily concerned with the E. coli itself.

“We use E. coli as an indicator organism,” Manchester Public Health Director Tim Soucy said.

In other words, if there’s a lot of E. coli in a lake, it likely means there are other pathogenic microorganisms in there with it, such as salmonella or shigella.

In fact, the E. coli they are finding in water samples is not the same bacterial strain that food safety inspectors recall

“If they had their way, and I’ve said this before, they’d ban matches,” Welch said of the Fire Marshal’s office.

The main reason to legalize firecrackers and toy smoke devices, Welch said, is to make sure New Hampshire can compete with states like Maine, where fireworks were recently legalized, including firecrackers.

Toy smoke devices are small (containing not more than 100 grams of pyrotechnic composition) and produce moderate puffs of smoke, sometimes colored. Welch said he tried to legalize those a couple years ago but he called them “smoke bombs” in the bill, so it didn’t ultimately pass.

“My mistake. Wrong name,” Welch said.

The bill will also help fireworks retailers save some money now that they can sell variety packs as is, Welch said.

“The toy smoke devices are included in the kits that the dealers buy and they sell.

Well, because we had a prohibition on smoke bombs ... they had to cut those out of those packages and then substitute it for something else. And that’s a lot of labor when they’re selling an awful lot of these kits,” Welch said.

Degnan worries toy smoke devices could be hazardous if misused inside a building.

While certain fireworks devices might be legal in the state, individual communities can ban the use or sale of fireworks, so consumers must check with their towns and cities before igniting firecrackers.

Towns like Londonderry, Derry, Hooksett, Candia and Bedford allow fireworks, but places like Salem and Nashua have banned them. Manchester and Portsmouth residents need a special permit. beef products for.

Similar to cyanobacteria, its prevalence can be affected by rain and temperature, but mostly by runoff. It can also be affected by the presence of geese, dogs, babies in diapers and lots of swimmers.

“Anything that can put feces in the water is a potential source of E. coli,” Soucy said.

The main pathway for people to become ill from E. coli is oral ingestion of the water.

Humans can suffer short-term effects similar to those caused by fecal bacteria such as gastroenteritis, nausea, vomiting.

For the most part, swimmers are given the choice to swim at their own risk when advisories are posted, but in some cases, like with Crystal Lake in Manchester, which is licensed to the city, authorities will enforce the lake’s closure until bacteria levels drop back down to safe levels.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Projected NH tourism looks good

The New Hampshire Division of Travel and Tourism Development expects 17 million visitors spending $2.25 billion this summer, a 4-percent increase in both visitation and spending from the 2016 season. The Fourth of July period alone is expected to draw nearly one million out-of-state travelers and generate more than $150 million in spending. DTTD research partners cited a number of economic indicators suggesting a successful summer tourism season, including a 10-year low in unemployment and growth in U.S. travel volume.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: DTTD also expects increases in occupancy rates at resorts, hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfast establishments and campgrounds over the Fourth of July period compared to recent years.

The NBA draft finally came last week and I’m not sure how to characterize my reaction. Was it anti-climactic after Danny Ainge traded down from first overall to the third spot? Boring, since all the drama was gone? Or was it just a prelude to a bigger deal coming later this summer? Being an optimist, I’ll go with the latter.

But what I do know for sure is that the No. 1 overall pick is not the magic elixir that people carping about trading down from Markelle Fultz make it out to be. It’s true, if you’re at No. 1 and franchise guys like Lew Alcindor, Tim Duncan or LeBron James are there, it’s likely a ticket to the finals, if not an NBA title. But guess what, in the 21st century there have only been six no-brainer guys in 15 drafts (not counting the too-early-totell last two) and only LeBron James, with Kyrie Irving along for the ride, has led his team to a title.

Now each year is different, and what has happened in the past has no bearing on how good Markelle will be. But a study of the first overall picks since 1960 suggests it’s more likely the best player in any given draft class will not be the guy taken at the top. And I’m not talking ancient history either: 2016-2017 MVP Race — Russell Westbrook (fourth) taken behind Michael Beasley and OJ Mayo versus James Harden (third) behind Hasheem Thabeet.

2017 Finals MVP — Kevin Durant (second) went after Greg Oden, who thanks partly to injuries and brittle bones was one of the biggest busts in draft history.

2017 NBA Runner-up — Cleveland.

LeBron and Irving, both first overall.

2017 NBA Champion — Golden State.

behind the likes of Celtics Tyler Zeller, Jared Sullinger and (not so) Fab Melo.

2017 NBA Leaders — John Wall (2010) and Anthony Davis (2012) came the closest to leading the league in a statistical category by finishing second in assists and blocks shots respectively; beyond that no one was close in any category.

Combined NBA Titles by 21st-century First Overall Picks — 4. Lebron (3) and Irving (1).

Going back a little further, there were two major achievers in the ’90s, Tim Duncan and Shaq. They won nine titles. Allen Iverson never won, but he was great too. However, I was in the house covering the Celtics when rumors were rampant Rick Pitino was frantically trying to trade up to get Michael Olowokandi, before Paul Pierce fell in his lap, right before Dallas took Dirk Nowitzki as the two best players in 1998 slid to 9 and 10.

The ’80s had Patrick Ewing (no titles, one finals appearance), David Robinson (didn’t win bupkus until Duncan came along) and Hakeem Olajuwon (an eventual Famer and Top 50 player, but still not the best in the 1985 draft class; that was Michael Jordan, whose first retirement was the reason Akeem won his two titles).

In fact, in the 56 drafts since 1960, the best player came just 39 percent of the time from the top spot. And if you take out the nine absolute no-brainers, the percentage of best players when the top spot was murkier, it drops to just 28 percent. That’s relevant, because this is one of those murky years. And if you look at the entries below, a betting man might say the odds are actually against Fultz turning out to be 2017’s best pick.

No. 1’s Who Turned Out to be the Best Player Picked — 22 of 56. Which means 34 times, 61 percent of the time, the best player hasn’t turned out to be the first overall pick.

In this century, the best came from No. 1 six times and nine times it didn’t.

Total Busts — 9, including Bill McGill, Art Heyman, Jim Bad News Barnes,

LaRue Martin, Kent Benson, Olowokandi, Kwame Brown, Oden and Anthony Bennett.

No-Brainer Top Picks That Delivered — Oscar Robertson, one spot ahead of Jerry West, Elvin Hayes, Alcindor, Magic Johnson, Ewing, Hakeem, The Admiral, Shaq, Duncan and LeBron.

Which brings us to, Did Danny made a mistake trading Fultz? Since I’ve never seen him play, I can’t really say. I do know, unless it’s West or San Antonio GM RC Buford who’s found useful in the high 20s for the last 20 years doing the talking, I rarely listen to what others call the “experts.” Given the results and those dismissing Donald Trump all through the presidential race, do I really need to explain why? I’d say on the plus side is his obvious athleticism and the fact that you’ve got to be pretty good to score 23 a game in a major conference as a freshman.

But, as Adam Morrison to Fly Williams have demonstrated, scoring a lot in college is no guarantee. On the downside, if the NBA’s top prospect can’t drag a team in a mediocre conference to more than nine wins, I doubt he’ll make a big impact in Year 1, while making you wonder if his game translates to winning at all.

What I do know is if Markelle turns out great and Jayson Tatum doesn’t, it will be on Danny Ainge’s tombstone in the same way Jeff Bagwell is on Lou Gorman’s. Which brings me to the final category: Boston Celtics History of First Overall Picks — Had it twice in the 67 years, but traded down to three both times.

Thus, the team that’s won the most NBA titles in history has never had the top pick in the draft. And given how the Warriors became The Warriors, it shows a first overall pick is not mandatory to winning a NBA title. So, my guess is they’ll survive. Especially if the future L.A. pick or Tatum gets flipped in a deal for Paul George.

Then it’ll be, Great move Danny!

How do you like to camp? If your idea of fun is sleeping on the ground with only a tent to protect you from the elements, there’s a campground for you. But there are also campgrounds that offer opportunities for upgraded versions of “roughing it.” You can ditch the tent for an RV if you’d prefer your camping quarters to feel more like home, or you can rent a cabin, which have their own levels of luxury (rustic cabins are a step up from tents, but there are also hotel room-style cabins with bathrooms, wifi and HD TVs). You even have options with your campfire experience: Keep it basic — marshmallows on a stick! — or make your whole meal over the fire.

Here are a few tips to help you find your perfect camping adventure.

The essentials of tent camping

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Local campground owners and seasoned campers say tent camping is the best way to get the most out of the outdoors — and it can be pretty enjoyable if you’re properly prepared.

Tents come in all kinds of different sizes and types, including dome tents, ridge tents and tunnel tents. Some have their own built-in features like screens to put up to keep mosquitoes out.

“If you’re looking to get a tent longterm, you need to make sure you’re able to stand up and get dressed in it comfortably,” said Ellen Bagley, co-owner of Autumn Hills Campground in Weare. “Tarps are also pretty much a necessity too, because you can use it to prevent the tent from getting wet if it rains.”

Bagley said sporting goods stores like Dick’s and Eastern Mountain Sports are always great sources for tents, but even department stores like Wal-Mart have their own extensive collections.

Jessica Byrnes, a seasoned tent camper of more than 25 years and whose father is a member of the Epsom-based New Hampshire Campground Owners Association, said tents can range anywhere from $50 to $800, depending on quality and size.

What you use to sleep inside the tent can include anything from sleeping bags to foam mats or even air mattresses if you have air pumps, Bagley said.

“The thing about air mattresses to keep it mind is that if the weather is cool, sometimes it will actually feel colder on the air mattress than on the ground itself,” she said. “So that’s when you could use a warm comforter with it.”

And since tents don’t have the temperature-controlled luxury of RVs or cabins, proper clothing is essential.

“For camping around Memorial Day weekend or Columbus Day weekend, it could always get hotter or colder than you

might expect, so I’d usually pack clothes for all four seasons,” Byrnes said.

Footwear is important too, especially at tent sites where the terrain is likely a little rough. Bagley recommends making sure you bring at least one pair of a sturdy type of footwear, like laced sneakers or hiking boots, not just flip-flops or sandals.

“Around the campfire is one thing, but otherwise, you don’t want to constantly leave your feet open for rocky and gravel surfaces, or for walking up and down a hill. You’d want something a little safer underfoot,” she said.

When you’re setting up your tent, be sure to consider its location.

“Fire is always a big safety hazard, so it’s important to remember not to set up your tent too close to your fire pit so it doesn’t catch fire, and also if you have little kids, to make sure they’re not walking or sitting too close to the fire,” she said.

To prevent the attraction of wild animals to your campsite, make sure you never leave food unattended and that it is stored properly.

“In New Hampshire, we’ll get everything ... from bobcats and fisher cats to bears and moose,” Bagley said. “Tent campers need to always be vigilant and to not leave their trash out, or feed the animals, because they will come back. … Aluminum foil and ziplock bags are also great tools to store food in your car, as well as double-duty things like Tupperware containers.”

Bagley said Leatherman tools are useful, not only for cooking and food preparation but for propping your tent as well. Most tools can convert to be used as knives, can openers, hammers and other useful tools.

The key to getting the most out of tent camping is to remember not to let the unexpected spoil the fun.

“It doesn’t have to be as uncomfortable as some people may think, because you can do so much with so little,” Bagley said, “and if you forget something, you shouldn’t let that ruin your weekend. …

Taking what you have and improvising with it is important.”

The best way to go glamping Class A motorhomes can range in size from 26 to 38 feet, according to Hallett, and diesel pushers range from 34 to 45 feet on average.

With recreational vehicles, or RVs, campers can set up all the amenities of home at a camp site.

Buying vs. renting

Basic vs. luxury

Howard “BJ” Hallett has been a salesman at Camping World of New Hampshire in Chichester for 12 years. He said the most popular types of RVs are travel trailers.

“They tend to be bunk houses because it’s a family vacation kind of thing,” Hallett said.

Travel trailers are the most basic boxy camper that is towed by another vehicle.

On the small side, they can be 15 to 16 feet long, Hallett said. If they’re being towed somewhat regularly, the larger sizes tend to be 35 to 36 feet. If they’re meant to be stationary at a permanent location, they’re more likely to reach up to 40 feet in length.

The next most popular are “fifth wheel” trailers, which are identified by their front extension that slopes prominently over a flatbed hitch, followed by motorhomes, which are RVs where the automobile and the camper are one and the same.

A high-profile 5th wheel, made by Keystone RV, sits in the Camping World showroom. Courtesy of BJ Hallett.

The motorhomes are divided into classes A, B and C. The Class A motorhomes are the large bus-style vehicles. They are made with gas and diesel engines, but Hallett said the diesel pusher models are the least popular because they’re more expensive and less cost-effective to maintain.

The Class B “looks like a conversion van with a raised roof,” but Hallett said the smaller Class C motorhomes are the most popular, in part because they are less diffi-

cult to drive.

“They feel more comfortable in a smaller cockpit of the van style with the body on the back versus the Class A with the big monster windshield in front of them,” Hallett said.

On the smaller end, the most common size for Class C motorhomes is about 24 to 25 feet long. Most standard Class Cs are built on a Ford E-450 chassis, which can go up to about 32 feet.

Hallett said the average customer pays about $200 to $300 per month for a new financed camper. On the high end, he calculates customers would be paying somewhere around $910 per month on his most popular high-end model, the A.C.E. Motorhome by Thor Motor Coach. That’s assuming a customer puts 10 percent down on the $141,000 vehicle with an interest rate of about 5.99 percent.

Buying an RV is like buying a home in the sense that one needs to account for things like appliance maintenance and utility costs on top of the regular finance payments. But when it comes to the investment, it’s more like a car, which reliably depreciates in value.

“If you buy something for $100[K], you could go to trade it the next day, it’s worth about 70 to 75 thousand,” Hallett said.

Some people prefer to rent campers, often as a way of testing the waters and seeing if they like it enough to buy 14

Cabins offer a more laid-back camping experience

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

If you’re new to camping or looking for a more relaxed camping experience, cabin camping may be a good option. Some cabins provide only shelter while others provide all the modern comforts of home, so you can choose your preferred level of roughing it.

For the full camping experience minus the tent, there are rustic cabins, which may include a few essentials or may be nothing more than a roof over your head. Friendly Beaver Campground in New Boston is one local campground that offers rustic cabins; each cabin consists of a single room with a closet, a queen bed and two sets of bunk

Kelly Wood, the property manager at Sandy Beach RV Resort in Contoocook, calls camping in an RV “glamping,” a portmanteau of glamorous camping, because RVs provide almost all the amenities of home.

“A camper is a minihome, ultimately,” Wood said. “Everything is inside of your camper that you could possibly need.”

Hallett said most Class C motorhomes include standard amenities like a kitchen, a bathroom, a cable hookup for a TV and connections for electricity, water and

sewage.

Some campsites, including Wood’s, offer all those connections at their RV spots, but some parks have dump stations for sewage on the way out of the park.

The quality of the features varies based on the model. For instance, all RVs come with a basic kitchen, but higher-end models come with Corian countertops instead of the typical Formica, stainless steel appliances and, while all provide a space for a TV, pricier models come with the TV already installed.

Better models have porcelain toilet bowls, compared to plastic toilet bowls, or medicine cabinet mirrors rather than just a mirror. They all come with a shower but upscale models replace shower curtains with Plexiglass doors.

All models generally have air conditioning and a water heater.

Mattress sizes vary in RVs and the more high-end motorhomes will have more comfortable pillowtop mattresses or memory foam mattresses that keep sleepers cool by maintaining air flow.

beds, a small table and chairs, and minimal electricity for lighting and a ceiling fan.

A charcoal grill and fire ring are provided outside for cooking, and there’s a public bathroom a short walk away.

“The term is ‘rustic’ because it’s supposed to be very rustic and in nature. It’s not like a hotel,” Friendly Beaver Manager Robert Charest said. “It’s just a different type of shelter for people who don’t like to sleep on the ground, but outside of that, there is no difference [from traditional camping].”

At Exeter Elms Family Campground in Exeter, campers have a choice between a rustic cabin and a full cabin, which includes beds, a bathroom and a working kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, stove,

oven, microwave, toaster and coffeemaker.

“The rustic cabin is just four wooden walls and a roof, so it’s basically like camping in a giant tent, only if it rains, you won’t get soaked,” Exeter Elms office manager Robin Falef said. “The full cabins are for people who don’t want to do regular camping. They want all the bells and whistles and luxuries of home.”

Some campgrounds have full cabins with even more amenities. The cabins at Silver Lake Park Campground & Cabins in Belmont, for example, include everything the Exeter Elms cabins have, plus a living room area, HDTV, internet access and climate control.

These kinds of cabins are typically used as a more outdoors-centric alternative to a hotel for people who travel to the area for a particular attraction. (Campers at Exeter Elms often spend their days at Hampton Beach while Silver Lake Park campers are often there to vacation at the lake.) Falef said they are not a good fit for people seeking an intentional and authentic camping experience, and that people should be wary of how the term “camping” is used nowadays.

“Unfortunately, camping doesn’t mean what it used to,” she said. “Camping [at the full cabins] isn’t really camping. Real camping is about roughing it.”

Cabin camping can, however, be a good option for first-time campers and people who want to get a taste of the experience before investing the time and money needed for a more bare-bones camping trip.

“We get all these calls from people who want to try camping but are too nervous because they don’t know how to pitch a tent and do all this camping stuff,” Silver Lake Park campground manager Ashley Jaynes said. “This is a way for them to try

camping on their own while still having the luxuries they’re used to.”

Cabin camping can also be a way for people and families with mixed enthusiasm about the outdoors to experience some of the fun that camping has to offer without being cut off from the outside world.

Between lake activities like swimming, fishing, boating, canoeing and kayaking; hiking the surrounding trails and hanging out around the campfire, Jaynes said, most campers at Silver Lake Park find themselves spending very little time using the television and internet anyway.

“There may be people who won’t go camping because they don’t want spiders or don’t want to use a public bathroom, or because they have to have their smartphones,” Jaynes said. “I wish they knew that there is a more modern way of camping where they can still check in with their smartphones and post a photo to Facebook and have all these amenities. Then, they might give camping a chance.”

Ideas for cooking over a fire

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Cooking over a campfire doesn’t have to be as basic as holding marshmallows on a stick over the flames. The next time you go camping, consider making fancier treats, or even a whole meal.

Start the fire

Starting the right kind of fire is the most important thing, said Heidi Holman, a biologist with New Hampshire Fish and Game who also teaches workshops with Becoming an Outdoors-Woman. But it’s not always easy.

“Too often, people start with fuel that’s too big, so they get frustrated because the

fire goes out and the fuel hasn’t caught.

You want to start with a lot of tinder — dry leaves, grass, really small twigs. Some people bring dryer lint from home,” Holman said.

Next, layer on pine needles, then small twigs followed by larger twigs. Eventually, you’ll have enough flame to add larger pieces of wood. Holman estimated it will take at least 15 minutes of solid activity before the fire creates coals ready to cook with.

The food you’re cooking and how you’re cooking it will determine the kind of fire you want. If you’re using a Dutch oven, for instance, you’ll probably simmer over a flame, not coals. The size of the party matters, too.

“When we teach this [outdoor cooking] class, we do a large fire because there are 15 people. But if it’s just you and 17

Family Adventures!

Put on your boots and explore!

Feeling lazy? Put a hot dog on a stick.

Done. But you can also jazz that up easily; before you cook the hot dog, cut each end partway before placing it over the fire. As you cook, the sliced ends will curl, resembling spider legs.

Tara Pacht, vice president of the Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains board, said one of the challenges at a workshop she taught was to cook an egg on a stick; very carefully stick a skewer through a raw egg, then roast it over the fire like a marshmallow.

And of course, camping isn’t camping without a s’more, and there are a zillion ways to vamp up yours. (Fun fact: the Girl Scouts originated the recipe, published in Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts in 1927.) Pacht advised trying it with Nutella instead of a Hershey bar or cookies instead of graham crackers. Or melt your chocolate at the same time as your mallow by slicing a pocket and plopping the chocolate square inside. You could also replace your marshmallow with a strawberry covered in fluff or a Peeps marshmallow.

Foil packs

This is probably the next-easiest cooking method with the fastest cleanup. Pacht likes foil packs because they allow you to individualize the meal for each camper.

Fill them with meat, veggies and potatoes for a “hobo stew packet” (slicing potatoes very thin, and choosing vegetables with lots of moisture, which will help the potatoes steam). Double-wrap them with heavy-duty foil and keep them small enough to cook fully, particularly if they contain meat. (If you use lightweight or inexpensive foil, it’s possible the foil will deteriorate, said Holman.) Place them on coals, not flames, and check regularly.

Another idea, courtesy of Pacht: cut a spaghetti squash in half, fill with ground beef

Dutch oven and pie irons

Dutch ovens kind of look like witches’ cauldrons and work best either sitting on a bed of coals or hanging over the fire on a tripod. Pacht said she made a killer spinach cheese dip with a Dutch oven teaching a recent workshop with Girl Scout volunteers, combining fresh spinach, a variety of cheeses, sour cream and artichokes. You can tackle spaghetti with these, too; throw in some dry pasta, water and tomato sauce, and it’s a one-pot meal. You can even bake cookies in a Dutch oven.

But Pacht’s favorite outdoor cooking gadget is the pie iron, which is kind of like an enclosed skillet attached to a stick you place in the fire. Fill it with buttered bread and cheese for an epic grilled cheese, rotating part-way through, or bake a pie by inserting pre-made crust and fruit filling inside. Most any kind of sandwich melt will work with these, but if you want to mix it up, use phyllo dough instead of bread and make a caprese (mozzarella, tomato, basil) or make it sweet with brie, apples and honey. The pie iron is also perfect for pizza with premade crust.

More tips

Rookies: keep an eye on the fire, and season your cast iron equipment before using.

To save time on washing dishes afterward, Pacht recommends spreading a layer of soap on the outside of your pans to keep soot from sticking. After that, the options are endless. All it takes is some creativity.

“If I can cook it at home, I can cook it in the woods with some modifications,” Pacht said. “We think about what we ate at the house and how we can modify that recipe for the ease and creativity of camping. … Google ‘creative campfire cooking’ or ‘fun outdoor camp cooking’ and you can get some fabulous ideas. … It’s a very social activity. When somebody’s cooking at home, it might be one or two people, but this engages everybody.”

ARTS For the love of metal

Jewelry artist Joy Raskin on jewelry making in NH

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

For many artists, the decision to create professionally is a scary one, muddled with questions like, am I good enough? Will I be able to find work? Will my pieces sell?

Joy Raskin made her choice as a teen at Concord High School in the ’80s during a metalsmithing class. Jewelry-making in particular enraptured her; she loved hammering, cutting, twisting and manipulating the form to create something beautiful. She hadn’t a doubt in her mind — this was her destiny.

“By the end of the first semester, I said to my teacher, ‘This is what I want to do. This is my career,’” Raskin said during a recent interview in her studio.

Raskin was juried into the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen days before high school graduation (one of the youngest ever to do so) and went on to earn her BFA at the Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA at UMass-Dartmouth. Upon her return home, she worked for Mark Knipe Goldsmiths, but it wasn’t until she earned an individual artist fellowship from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts in 1995 that she dove in and became serious about her art.

“It wasn’t until after grad school, when I got working on my own and started teachJoy Raskin To see or buy her work, to commission a piece or to contact her, visit joyraskin. com.

ing — that was a leap of faith for me,” Raskin said. “But if you want to be an artist, you have to go for it. Just make sure you have a cushion to fall back on — like a part-time job or a savings account. Do what you need to do to get your vision out there.”

Typically, Raskin works three jobs — as an instructor (with the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society, the New Hampshire Institute of Art, the Craft Center with the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and Metalwerx School of Jewelry Arts), as a creative goldsmith at Goldsmiths Gallery in Concord and as a professional artist. This summer, she’s focusing on readying for the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s Fair in August.

Raskin, who works in Concord, was born deaf but communicates well, thanks to years of speech therapy and cochlear implants.

The disability never hindered her ability to design. In fact, she jokes it’s kind of nice sometimes.

“I can turn my cochlear implants off and make all the noise I want and don’t have to listen!” she said, laughing.

The day of the interview, her work bench was scattered with half-made pieces — metal cuff bracelets, rings set with beautiful stones and embedded with intricate designs, earrings whose shapes seem to defy the laws of metal. Some appear to drip down like teardrops, and others resemble blooming florals.

“What I’m really interested in is volume.

How can I make something really large but delicate?” Raskin said. “I don’t want to be doing the same thing over and over. I try to think a little beyond what juried designs are out there. … I gave myself a challenge a couple years ago to make a pair of earrings with one piece of wire. That limitation actually let me do a wide variety of designs.”

Living in the city, Raskin’s pieces were architectural. When she moved back to New Hampshire, the jewelry became infused with nature.

“All of a sudden, I was surrounded by flowers and trees and plants. My work has gotten a lot more leafy. It’s hard to escape the great outdoors around here!” Raskin said.

To date, Raskin’s love of metalsmithing spans 33 years. She’s worked with silver, gold, copper, brass, bronze and steel. Admittedly, sometimes, it’s hard; you go through phases where nothing seems to jell, nothing seems to work. Creating alone in a studio can be lonely, and retail is always iffy.

“You have to sell work at craft shows, galleries and stores, and you’re never quite sure how much money you’re going to be getting each month. So I balance it by teaching and working,” Raskin said.

But her feelings about the art haven’t changed a bit. It remains challenging and fascinating to her, and when inspiration does hit, it can take any form — even her pet hedgehog, Pumpkin Peanut.

“Metal, to me, is magic. I just love it. And sometimes, it’s hard to put it into words, but it’s very much a part of me. I think and breathe metal,” Raskin said. “My motto is, torch in one hand, hammer in the other.”

• On a boat: The New Hampshire Art Association’s latest show, “Boatscapes,” on view at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery (136 State St., Portsmouth) from July 5 through July 30, features photographs of boat hulls taken by Renee Giffroy of Rye. She spent hours in boatyards taking these photos. “I enjoy photographing coastal images and am always searching for ways to look at common subjects differently,” Giffroy said in the press release. “Capturing these detailed images provided an opportunity to take what many consider a mundane subject and turn it into a beautiful work of art. … The challenge and fun is to discover how many of the designs resemble landscapes. And that is how the show came to be called ‘Boatscapes.’”

There’s an opening reception Friday, July 7, from 5 to 8 p.m., with a second reception to be held Sunday, July 16, from 1 to 3 p.m. Visit nhartassociation.org.

Take the 36 questions in Talking to Starlight

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

The first reading of Talking to Starlight by Lowell Williams at the Riverwalk Cafe & Music Bar a couple years ago was so packed, some audience members had to watch the show while standing in the back of the coffee shop. The turnout shocked Williams — mostly because it was the same night as the Season 5 Game of Thrones premiere.

“I didn’t think we’d get much of a turnout, but we got almost 100 people,” said Williams, a New Hampshire resident, via phone.

Michael J. Curtiss directed the two-person play — then called 36 Questions in a Quiet Cafe — and Kath Palmer and Aaron Compagna read. Afterward, audience members provided feedback, including Williams’ friend, Ernest Thompson, best known for writing On Golden Pond. Williams took the responses, edited the piece and sent it to regional theaters. Some New York companies showed interest, but nobody wanted to commit.

Talking to Starlight Where: Hatbox Theatre, 270 Loudon Road, Concord When: June 30 through July 16, with showtimes Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m.; talk-back Saturday, July 1, with the playwright and cast, followed by wine and beer after-party Admission: $16.50 Contact: talkingtostarlight.com, hatboxnh.com

“You’re just sitting around, waiting.

They have maybe 300 other scripts they’re reading,” Williams said. “Statistically, my chances were not good.”

So this year, Williams decided to take things into his own hands. He pitched the idea to the Hatbox Theatre and recruited local actors and real-life couple Jen Sassak and Joe Paoni to play his leads. They pull it all together in a full-fledged production at the Concord venue this weekend, from Friday, June 30, through Sunday, July 16.

Williams said the idea for Talking to Starlight started with a New York Times story by Mandy Len Catron called “To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This,” published January 2015, which looked at a test psychologist Arthur Aron created in 1997. It comprised 36 questions, starting

easy (when did you last sing to yourself?) and moving increasingly more personal as you go on (what’s your relationship with your mother like?). The final task involves the couple taking the test to stare into each other’s eyes for four minutes. Six months later, Aron’s two participants, who met in the laboratory, were married.

“I thought it would make a great twohander — a play with only two people in it,” Williams said.

His story follows an astrophysicist named Eleanor deciding whether to take a dream job, which would require an enormous move, or stay with her new-ish boyfriend, Daniel. She resolves to make the decision by taking Aron’s test, which they do on the terrace of an outdoor cafe.

revealed, the relationship tested.

Williams and the couple have been rehearsing regularly in a Nashua Public Library conference room, rewriting the script as they go. Some edits were small — ironing a joke here, changing a line there — but others involved major overhauls. The ending saw a total makeover.

“I wanted to cast a couple who’s already in a relationship. I thought it would be more intimate and believable because of that,” Williams said. “One of the biggest benefits I’ve had with Joe and Jen is I’m rewriting it as we go and fixing some things, which of course Michael couldn’t really do. … I give as much credit to Joe and Jen for just being funny and getting to the heart of [the story] and injecting some of what their relationship is about.”

For Sassak and Paoni, it’s equally rewarding. They received the first draft April 10 before deciding to take it on together. Outside rehearsals with Williams, they’re running lines at home, in the car, maybe even at a restaurant while waiting for food.

“So often, you don’t get to talk to the playwright; you just have to interpret the word as it’s written,” Sassak said.

Costumes will be modern, and Williams is building an “outdoor” 20-foot by 20-foot terrace with real bricks to go onstage, complete with a fence and lights.

“People have said, ‘Why are you doing this?’ ... It’s the details that make the difference between good theater and fantastic theater. Why do good when you can do fantastic with some back-breaking labor?”

Williams said with a laugh.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE Fun on the Fourth

Parades, fireworks and more planned for Independence Day

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

From parades and fireworks to oldtime celebrations and re-enactments, there is plenty to do around the Granite State to celebrate the birth of our nation this Fourth of July.

You’ll find one of the largest such events in the town of New Boston, where the 87th annual Fourth of July celebration will take place on Tuesday, July 4. A full schedule of events is planned throughout the day, including barn dancing, a chicken barbecue, mud volleyball, live music, a scavenger hunt and much more.

“There’s a whole lot going on and [the event] has definitely become a great spot for people looking for family fun, because there is something for everybody,” said Laura Bernard, president of the town’s Fourth of July Associa-

Bernard said this year’s theme is states and the scavenger hunt will follow that theme too, where kids will be encouraged to find license plates of all 50 states hidden around the fairgrounds.

New this year will be three local bands performing in a miniature music festival on the fairgrounds.

A country band, a rock band and a blues band are all expected to perform, and several other events will be held throughout the afternoon. A fireworks display will close out the event at 9:15 p.m.

“There’s going to be a PA system [on the fairgrounds] that will announce everything that is coming up, so people will know,” Bernard said.

OK, nobody likes to be told what they have to do or when they have to do it, and you don’t really have to do these things immediately — but doing them soon will help you later on.

It’s time to thin root crops, my least favorite task in the garden. But carrots, beets, parsnips and so forth need to be thinned in order for them to develop well.

You need to put in your tomato supports to keep the plants off the ground, either tying them to stakes or surrounding them with wire cages.

You need to hill up your potatoes if they have 6 to 12 inches of green growth by now.

Cut off those tall flower spikes from your rhubarb. Quick, easy, productive.

Weed.

Let’s take a look at each of these tasks. First, it’s important to thin root crops that are too close. I’m assuming you planted these frosthardy plants in late April or May, and they have gotten to be 3 inches or so tall by now.

Carrots and beets can compete with each other just as they would have to compete with weeds. Nutrients from the soil, water, even sunshine is minimized if veggies are too close. So thin your carrots and beets to an inch apart now, and 2 to 3 inches in a month.

Yes, you can get a crop without thinning, but the production is vastly reduced. And you can eat the thinnings.

Beets seeds are actually seed capsules with two to three seeds inside each one. So no matter how well you space your seeds, you will need to thin them. There are monogerm beets like Moneta from Johhnys Selected Seeds that only have one beet embryo per seed capsule, but those are rare. You can re-plant the thinnings, but it’s not always successful. Take a pencil, poke a hole, drop in the roots of the beet, and firm up the soil. Or you can just eat the beet greens.

When I was young and very busy raising kids, I didn’t stake up all my tomatoes.

Some I let flop over and lay on piles of straw.

Those on the ground suffered from diseases much more than those I caged. I now use four-legged cages that are 54 inches tall — the biggest commercially available.

This year a friend gave me a home-made cage made from sheep fencing. The fencing is made into a 24-inch cylinder that stands 48 inches tall. Each cage needs a 6-foot grade stake to keep it from tipping over and openings that are big enough for your hand to pass through to pick tomatoes. I’ll decide if this cage is worth replicating next year.

Depending on the weather and where you garden, it may be time to hill your potatoes.

This means adding soil over the planted seed potatoes. Roots go down from the seed pota-

to, and new potatoes form above the seed potatoes. If you want lots of potatoes, there has to be room for them to grow. So adding soil from the walkways or your compost pile is essential to having enough depth for good production. Another way to do that is to pile on a thick layer of hay or straw, a technique I am trying with some of my potatoes.

Rhubarb, I have heard, is one of the last flavors to be lost by the elderly as their senses diminish. That’s why, I suppose, homes for the elderly serve rhubarb desserts this time of the year. It’s very easy to grow; once established there is little to do other than occasionally add some compost to the soil, or to scratch in some organic fertilizer.

By now, however, rhubarb is sending up tall shoots with white flowers to produce seeds. They are quite spectacular as flowers go — they grow as fast as Jack’s proverbial beanstalks. But like all seeds, they consume energy and minerals from the soil, so it makes sense to cut them down.

Last, but not least, you need to weed. You know that. I find that if weeding becomes a regular part of your day — like brushing your teeth or making your bed — the weeds will not overcome your garden. Even 10 or 15 minutes a day will make a huge difference.

Right now I have been concentrating on tall, deep-rooted weeds like dandelions and burdock. I find that since the soil is moist down deep, it is easier to get these weeds now than later in the summer when the soil is dry.

I use a garden fork to loosen the soil down a foot or more, then apply even, gentle pressure pulling on the top of the plant. Most come out all in one piece. That’s good, as a broken tap root will send a new plant up later.

Never let weeds go to flower or set seeds.

If nothing else, snip or pull off the flowers to keep the weeds from producing seeds. If you have particularly virulent weeds like goutweed, dispose of the flower heads in the trash going to the incinerator or landfill. Some weeds can produce viable seeds even after being pulled or having their flowers cut off.

So get busy in your vegetable garden.

There’s lots to do.

Dear Donna, Can you help with a value on this old metal bag? It could be silver; we do not know. And can you give any advice on cleaning it?

The bag you have is either silver-plated or, if it is silver, it will be marked inside the top as sterling. If it doesn’t say anything than you can assume it is not sterling silver.

Sometimes there is also a name like Whiting and Davis in the same location.

It’s a sweet metal bag that was very popular in the Victorian era and even later.

Imagine carrying something like that today.

How would we put our cell phones in it?

This style purse was made for evenings and when you were out, to carry cosmetics and possibly change but not much more.

Imagine the work in such a delicate piece. For cleaning I would be very careful not to rub it too hard and disconnect any of the links. It’s common to find these with lots of them missing. So I would suggest a non-harsh silver cleaner, though I’m really not sure because I have never cleaned one myself. I have had many but left them in the original patina from age.

As far as a value, if it is marked sterling and not by a well-known maker, it would be

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Reader should try less expensive fix first Dear Car Talk: I have a 2004 Silverado 4WD Z71 that I bought new, and over the years, the brakes have gotten terrible. I’ve been through the typical brake failures from rustBy Ray Magliozzi ed lines over the past six years and survived them all. So far. I love the truck; it still drives and handles well. The problem is that the brakes have no braking power. I have replaced all four rotors, the rear calipers, the brake booster, as well as the master cylinder, and, of course, all pads have been replaced at different times as they wore out. This truck will not lock up the brakes from any speed (barely on gravel). The only thing that has not been replaced are the front calipers. Could they have lost power over the years, even though they never stick? I wouldn’t mind spending $400 to $500 more to get “like new brakes,” but I hate to spend it if there’s no guarantee of success. Any ideas? — Greg Actually, disc brakes aren’t supposed to lock up. But we’re going to accept that the brakes are not as good as they used to be. So my first idea is to make sure there’s no air in the brake system.

You say you replaced the rear calipers. A lot of people don’t know that after replacing the rear calipers, the brakes at all four wheels need to be bled. If there’s some air trapped in the system, that would certainly diminish your braking power. So bleed all four calipers, if you really know what you’re doing. Or pay someone to do it for you if you’re not sure.

We use something called a power bleeder at the shop, which pressurizes the master cylinder. That makes the job pretty much foolproof, as long as you can count to four — which five out of seven of our guys can do.

While you’re bleeding the calipers, my second idea is to take a look at the wear on the pads, particularly at the front. If the front caliper slides are not working correctly, you’ll often see more wear on the inner pad than on the outer pad. Those slides are supposed to pull the two pads together around each rotor.

But if only one pad is doing all the work, the truck will take longer to stop. And since the front wheels do most of the stopping, bad caliper slides could make a big difference.

But I wouldn’t go spending hundreds of dollars to change the front calipers without evidence that they’re faulty. Check the pad wear first, and see if the evidence is there.

Finally, even though you replaced the power brake booster, it’s possible that the booster

isn’t getting enough vacuum. There’s a hose that runs from the engine manifold to the booster that could be collapsed or something.

You can go to the auto parts store, take that hose off in the parking lot, ask them to sell you a replacement, and then put the new one back before you drive home. It’s cheap and easy. And you’ll know right away if it makes any difference.

Dear Car Talk: We have a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. The air conditioner takes at least 15 minutes to get to a cool temperature. Until then it blows plain old hot air. Once it does get cool, it will stay cool for a good length of time. But then it will get less cool for a while and then go back to cool again. Also, it seems that it starts to cool once the engine temperature reaches 190 degrees. We have been to the VW dealer, and they have not been able to fix the issue. They have now said, at this point, we need a whole new air conditioning unit. We hate to spend $1,500 for a new unit when there could be another solution to this problem. My husband and I are so confused. Is there another solution? — Cynthia There’s always another solution, Cynthia.

There’s rolling down the windows, or putting a five pound bag of ice on your lap.

Happy Trails to you!

It sounds like you may very well need a compressor, Cynthia. That’s the $1,500 solution. I assume they’ve verified that the refrigerant level is fine, or even recharged it for you.

But there’s a small chance you just need something called a high pressure switch. If the pressure of the refrigerant inside the compressor is too high, the high pressure switch will cut power to the compressor clutch, so the compressor doesn’t blow itself up. And while the compressor clutch is deactivated, you’ll get hot air. So maybe that switch has gone haywire?

Normally, a scan will pick that up. But if the switch wasn’t misbehaving when your dealer had the car, he could have missed it.

And the dealer may not have wanted to put in the time to investigate further. He’s too busy trying to figure out where to park all those VW diesels he’s been buying back.

So I suggest you take the car to an air conditioning specialty shop. Let them diagnose it, and ask them to check the high pressure switch, too. The switch is cheap. But even if they confirm that you need a compressor, get an estimate from them. Who knows? Their price might be cheaper than the dealer’s.

Good luck.

New Hampshire’s best high school football players, selected by local coaches, will assemble into two teams and face off against each other in a special football game in Manchester to raise money for charity.

It’s the sixth annual CHaD East-West New Hampshire High School All-Star Football Game, and it’s happening on Friday, June 30, at Saint Anselm College’s Grappone Stadium. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

The game raises money for Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock; in the five years the game has been held, more than $1.3 million has been raised.

Tom Gauthier, ChaD’s community relations and event coordinator, said teams of recently graduated seniors from high schools in eastern and western parts of the state are sorted geographically, with Interstate 93 and Route 3 as the dividing lines. More than 50 school districts will be represented. The West All-Stars team currently has a series lead of 3-2, but the East All-Stars have won the last two games, according to Gauthier.

“The point of the game is really to teach the kids about the importance of philanthropy and giving back,” he said, “and how playing in the game has an impact.”

The idea for the game was conceived

by Manchester native Nick Vailas, CEO of Bedford and Nashua Ambulatory Surgical Centers.

“Nick is a big football fan, and he came to us with the idea of a New Hampshireonly interstate football game made up of all of the best high school players,” Gauthier said. “His company also took on a strong leadership presence with the fundraising.”

Craig Kozens, athletic director and a teacher at Laconia High School, will return to the game to serve as coach of the East All-Stars for the third consecutive year.

Former Manchester Central High School head football coach Jim Schubert, who was the West All-Stars coach in 2013, will coach his second game this year.

“What happens is coaches are selected early in the fall … and 200 to 300 players or so will get nominated across the state [to play in the game],” Gauthier said. “The coaches will watch tape of the players in action in making their selections, and two teams of 40 players each ultimately get picked by early December.”

Because they are selected by coaches, fundraising is not mandatory for the players, he said. School districts of all three divisions are represented, with no more

than five players from each school.

The largest communities participating include five players from Bedford, five from Merrimack and four from Manchester on Team West, and five from Portsmouth, four from Salem and four from Windham on Team East. Ahead of Friday’s game, practices have been held every day since June 23 at Manchester Memorial High School.

Prior to kickoff will be a pregame barbecue with food provided by The Tuckaway Tavern & Butchery in Raymond. Tickets to the barbecue are $25 and include access to the game afterward. For regular ticket holders, food will be able onsite provided by Saint Anselm College’s concession stands.

Gauthier said the game has meant so much to the players involved that some have even characterized it as their best football memory in all four of their years in high school.

“The biggest growth [for this game] has been the alumni involvement,” he said.

Rent vs. Own?

Garden Party From the beautiful lawn & lush gardens to the fine meats, cheeses, wines, produce and more,the best summer parties start at Grasshoppers!

This is the Question

Deciding to make the leap from Renter to Homeowner can be difficult, time consuming and scary. But it doesn’t have to be! There are benefits to both. Renting gives you the ability to “try out” a neighborhood, the schools, the commute, without the commitment of buying. However, buying your own home can open up more possibilities that renting cannot.

Predictability! Once you sign on the dotted line, you know for the foreseeable future, what your payment will be. Often times, rent payments increase over time or a landlord could choose to sell the rental property leaving you with short notice to find new housing.

Plus, a monthly mortgage payment may be less expensive than rent.

upgrades to your home, you are increasing the equity (Equity = What your home is worth minus what you owe on your home). So when you do decide to move, you are essentially making some of that money you paid, back.

Tax Benefits! Property taxes, mortgage interest and possibly origination fees paid at closing may be deductible on your taxes.

Additionally, when you make certain energy efficient upgrades to your home like windows, solar panels, water heaters or furnaces, you could qualify for tax credits.

The first step in making this exciting decision is to make a budget and find a Mortgage Professional to discuss loan options to determine how much home you can afford. Other professionals like a Realtor or a tax advisor are great additions to your decision making team!

FOOD Winning burgers

New restaurant challenge awards prizes for eating burgers

By Angie Sykeny

News from the local food scene

asykeny@hippopress.com

By Angie Sykeny

If you plan on dining out next month, you could be in the running for some tasty prizes — as long as you order a burger.

During the month of July, the Hippo will host the first annual Granite State Burger Challenge. The rules are simple: eat a burger at a participating restaurant, get your burger passport stamped and turn it in for a chance to win.

“The point is to get diners into the restaurants during July, when things are generally slower, and for diners to try burgers from restaurants that they might not have gone to before,” event coordinator Jill Raven said.

Twenty-eight New Hampshire restaurants will participate in the Burger Challenge, and some will feature a special burger for the month. Both special burgers and burgers on the regular menu will qualify for a stamp.

First, pick up a Burger Challenge passport, which can be found as an insert in The Hippo or at any of the participating restaurants, and bring the passport with you when you eat to get it stamped. Each stamp equals one entry for a chance to win the grand prize: 20 $100 gift certificates from participating restaurants of the winner’s choice, totalling $2,000 in gift certificates.

“Obviously that’s the incentive,” Raven said. “You could eat free for a whole entire year, which is incredible.”

Drop off your burger passport at any of the participating restaurants or at the Hippo office (49 Hollis St., Manchester), or mail it in to the Hippo by Aug. 4. You can hang on to the same passport and take it with you to each restaurant you visit, or you can pick up and drop off a new passport every time you get a stamp.

Additionally, there will be smaller gift certificates and other prizes awarded for daily contests announced on social media.

You can participate in those by posting with the hashtag #GraniteStateBurgerChallenge.

“We might feature a burger of the day and say, ‘The first person to snap a pic of themselves eating this burger wins a gift pack,’” Raven said. “There will be clever little contests like that to engage participants and encourage them to play along.”

After the awards ceremony, everyone is free to enjoy the leftover cookies.

Lewis said the simplicity and relaxed nature of the bakeoff are what attract a growing number of participants to it each year.

“We had more than 25 entries last year.

People are becoming more aware of it,” he said. “It’s just a fun little thing, easygoing and no pressure, and I think that’s why it continues to grow.”

If you see a man with a cape, crown and scepter roaming Hopkinton and talking about cookies, the Tooky Cookie Bake Off is drawing near.

The bakeoff invites both Hopkinton residents and nonresidents to enter their best cookie recipes, which will be judged in adult and kid divisions at the Hopkinton family fun day on Tuesday, July 4.

Since the bakeoff started seven years ago, it’s been promoted and emceed by the Tooky Cookie Czar, a costumed character whose identity remains a mystery. The Czar distributes bakeoff entry forms and hangs up event flyers around town and interacts with fans and bakeoff participants on his Facebook page.

“We make it such a big deal that it’s goofy,” event coordinator Jim Lewis said.

“But that’s where the magic is. It’s supposed to be fun and goofy and put a smile on someone’s face.”

King Arthur Flour Co. in Vermont sponsors and provides the prizes for the bakeoff.

The one rule for participants is that cookies must be made with King Arthur flour.

The bakeoff has seen all kinds of cookies, including classic chocolate chip, raspberry, lemon, caramel pecan, Snickers and others. Cookies with a patriotic theme in honor of July 4 are also encouraged; past participants have done things like red, white and blue cookies and cookies shaped like an eagle.

“It’s never the same cookies every year.

People get creative,” Lewis said. “And I don’t think we’ve ever had a consecutive winner, so there’s definitely some talent out there.”

The judges include members of the town recreation department, fire department and police department, but more judges are always welcome, and anyone who’s interested can inquire about being one. Judges will score the cookies based on texture, appearance and taste, and bonus points will be awarded for cookies with a patriotic theme.

At 2 p.m., the Czar will announce the

When Svetlana Yanushkevich opened her wine shop WineNot Boutique in Nashua seven years ago, she wanted it to be more than just a place to buy wine.

“Retail wasn’t my dream. My passion was for viticulture and teaching about wine,” she said. “So [WineNot] started as a small retail business but has become a center for wine education. Between blind tastings and wine dinners and multiple classes, we have taught about wine to at least 1,000 people since we opened.”

On Friday, June 29, and Saturday, June 30, WineNot will celebrate seven years of business with festivities at the shop, including tastings, special deals and raffles.

On Friday from 5 to 9 p.m., Yanushkevich will host a wine tasting along with special guests Barrett Hamilton, state manager of Kobrand Wine and Spirits, and Brad Chase, owner of Highland Wine Merchants. There will be around a dozen wines featured, including international and domestic wines and wines ranging from the under-$20 to the over-$40 price brackets.

“It will be a combination of different prestigious wines,” Yanushkevich said. “Something that appeals to a large group of people.”

On Saturday, there will be another tasting with Yanushkevich and the WineNot team featuring various wines available at the shop.

Both days will also include samples of some of the shop’s chocolates and cheeses.

Starting Tuesday, June 27, and continuing through Saturday, there will be special discounts, including 10 percent off all wine, beer and cheese and 15 percent off all single or mixed 12-bottle cases of wine.

Additionally, customers who spend at least $50 at the shop will be entered in a raffle for a chance to win one of three prizes. The prizes include a private tasting, either at the winner’s home or at the WineNot shop, hosted by Yanushkevich and featuring a variety of wines, cheeses and chocolates; a rustic wooden wine shelf; and a gift basket filled with wine and specialty food items valued at $150.

The anniversary coincides with a big announcement from the shop: this fall, WineNot will move from its small storefront on Main Street to a larger location in downtown Nashua. The new location will allow the shop to expand its wine inventory to three times what it is now, and to carry a greater selection of cheese, chocolate, charcuterie, local honey and other specialty food products. It will also provide more space for events and activities.

“Because we continue to grow with this new space, we want to offer more to the community with fun events, wine dinners and food and wine tastings,” Yanushkevich said. “We love the opportunity to not just sell wine, but to create unique experiences for people who love wine and great food.”

CR AT CH.

When Matt Gfroerer first experienced Texas-style barbecue shortly after moving to Texas in 2000, he knew it was something he had to bring back to his home state of New Hampshire. He wrote letters to numerous barbecue restaurants in the Austin area asking if they would take him in as an apprentice until finally one of them agreed. Gfroerer then worked his way up in the barbecue world and ran several restaurants in Texas before returning to New Hampshire, where he worked at KC’s Rib Shack in Manchester for four years. In April 2016 he opened his own Texas-style barbecue restaurant and catering business, Smokeshow Barbecue (89 Fort Eddy Road, Concord, 227-6399, smokeshowbbq.com).

FOOD

FROM THE

pantry

Ideas from off the shelf

Chicken and mushroom puff It was the time of the week when dinner inspiration was scarce and fresh ingredients were even harder to find in my house. My husband was out of town, so I wanted to make something that was quick, easy and kid-friendly without needing to run to the grocery store.

After a quick scavenger hunt through my pantry and refrigerator, I came up with chicken, portabella mushrooms, sprigs of thyme and sour cream. And as a bonus, deep in the recesses of the crisper drawer, of all places, was a can of break-and-bake rolls.

These I could work with. At first, I thought I’d be predictable and simply bake the chicken and rolls and try to hide the mushrooms as best I could in a makeshift sauce, hoping against all odds that my kids wouldn’t notice. Instead, I grabbed a can of cream of chicken from the pantry and set to work.

I started by dicing the chicken very finely into smaller-than-bite-size pieces and seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried basil. In a bowl, I mixed together the sour cream, cream of chicken and thyme.

In a small frying pan, with a drizzle of olive oil, I began to sauté the chicken.

Chicken and Mushroom Puff 2 chicken breasts, finely chopped 1 cup cream of chicken 1 cup sour cream 4 portabella mushroom caps (or any combination of mushrooms) Fresh thyme, to taste 1 can rolls (crescent shaped work well) Salt, pepper and dried basil to taste Olive oil for pan Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Finely cut chicken into small pieces (smaller than bite-size). Season chicken with salt, pepper and basil to taste and set aside. Chop mush-

About 1 minute in, I added the sauce mixture. Once the sauce began to bubble, I tossed in the mushrooms and stirred to coat before turning off the heat. Setting the mixture aside, I took the rolls and separated them into four squares. I spooned the mixture into the middle of each of the squares and folded the corners to meet in the center.

I popped the “puffs” into a preheated oven and baked for about 12 minutes.

These simple ingredients combined to form a savory meal. The sauce was creamy and salty, and hints of the thyme were found in every bite. The mushrooms added an earthiness the otherwise rich dish desperately needed. And the rolls were the perfect flaky, buttery complement to the creamy sauce.

This recipe was conceived and constructed on the fly, but the results were delicious.

The dish hit all my flavor buttons: It was creamy, salty, earthy and even had a bit of texture. And while I knew the mushrooms were there and could taste the subtle flavor in every bite, my kids were none the wiser, so I felt a little better about letting them eat their dessert first. — Lauren Mifsud rooms in bite-size pieces and set aside. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken and thyme leaves.

Drizzle olive oil in a frying pan and add chicken. Cook approximately 1 minute.

Add the sauce and cook until just starting to bubble. Stir in the mushrooms and toss to coat. Remove from heat and set aside.

Break the rolls into 4 squares (or more depending on how large you’d like the puffs). Add about 3 heaping tablespoons to the center of the rolls, and bring the corners to the middle to close. Cook in preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown. Remove from oven, sprinkle with salt, and serve.

Recently, I peered into a cooler full of ice cold beer — a beautiful sight. I saw lighter, refreshing “summer” beers, a session India pale ale (IPA), a couple new double IPAs I had not seen before, a brown ale and more.

The variety was enticing.

But how to decide? Would a lighter beer stand up to the bold flavors of marinated meat and barbecued chicken? Was it too hot for a brown ale? Did I want to commit to the higher alcohol of a double IPA? Stress!

Beer enthusiasts will be put to the test over the Fourth of July weekend with critical beerrelated decisions to make surrounded by piles of grilled meat and bowls of potato salad.

In the ever-growing craft beer movement, there are more options than ever, and while that is without a doubt a great thing, it does force beer enthusiasts to make decisions. You can’t drink all the beer. Sorry.

If you simply plunge your fist into a cooler of beer during a Fourth of July cookout and pull out whatever beer touches your fingers first, you’ll be fine. I promise. But there are some things you can keep in mind to help you maximize your beer-drinking enjoyment over the long weekend — and all summer long: What type of party is this? Is it a more active get-together, with games like volleyball? If so, think about choosing a lighter beer with a lower alcohol content, like a Great North Aleworks “Northbound” American PilSamuel Adams Summer Ale: Is there anything better than sitting in front of a campfire with friends drinking beer?

During a camping trip years ago, I drank a lot of “Sam Summer” by the campfire, and since then it’s been a special summer beer for me. A wheat beer, Sam Summer is refreshing with a welcome lemony burst, but not too “wheaty” and not too light either.

sner. Personally, I’m not going to appreciate the hop complexities of a dry-hopped pale ale featuring multiple varieties of specialty hops in between sets. But maybe I would during a more intimate, less active gathering with lots of sitting.

What’s on the menu? I’m hardly a professional when it comes to pairing beers with food, but one of the things I like about IPAs and other pale ales is that they do stand up to bold flavors. Spicy wings on the menu? Grab a 603 Brewing Co. “18 Mile” Rye Pale Ale. The subtle complexities of brown ales might be lost before a plate of teriyaki steak tips.

While I wouldn’t expect a fruity wheat beer to “stand up” to bold flavors, they do offer a refreshing burst of tartness that couples well with food.

Keep it simple. I love exploring the best new beers I can find. But not every occasion that calls for beer-drinking needs to be about comparing tasting notes. Maybe some other guy just got a four-pack from Bissell Brothers in Maine and he can’t stop talking about it. Who cares? Grab a beer and relax — that’s what summertime is about. You know what?

Grab a Budweiser and relax. You’ll be fine.

Promise. It will taste like beer.

Ask questions. When you’re at a bar, you can (and should) ask the bartender for a sample before you commit to buying a full pint of something you have never tried. At a cookout, you can’t exactly crack a beer, take a sip and decide, “Nah,” and put it back. But maybe you saw the guy who walked in with that six-pack. My recommendation is to approach that person and ask him about the beer. You’ll receive insight and perhaps lay the foundation for a brand new friendship. You’re welcome.

Hydrate. Seriously, it’s hot out there and you have to be careful. Make sure to eat and don’t forget to drink water.

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Riverside, The New National Anthem (Greenleaf Music)

Second album from this jazz quartet, which features trumpeter Dave Douglas, sax guy Chet Doxas and bass player Steve Swallow, reportedly the life partner of Carla Bley for the past 40 years, from whom three of these compositions originated. She claims that these interpretations saved them from the dustbin more or less, and these guys indeed do an admirable job of pounding out the title track, “King Korn” and “Enormous Tots,” all three of which fit in with the Douglas stuff that makes up all but one of the remaining songs. With every passage this record aims to revisit New York’s free jazz era of the 1960s, which translates to a boppy, near-beatnik aura, with lots of discordant but pattern-matched freestyling. There’s nothing that would disturb the customers at a musty $9 cappuccino tourist trap, which is where it would best fit in, though it’d certainly take the edge off a particularly boring day. B+ — Eric W. Saeger Chastity Belt, I Used To Spend So Much Time Alone (Sub Pop Records)

It’s been hard not to love these four girls, what with their Monkees-style videos done on the cheap and their throwback-Sears-catalog photo shoots.

Their aim is to help rep the current echo-renaissance in Seattle, and toward that end they work themselves up into a (bored) frenzy of Pixies-ish riffage played by surf and Cure-style guitars, with drummer Gretchen Grimm doing a 1980s MTV beginner thing. Time to Go Home, their 2015 second LP, wrought the anti-anthem “Cool Slut,” a celebration of the unworkable urge to go topless and things of that nature, whatever, but it was a touchdown for singer Julia Shapiro, who cemented a position between Florence Welch and Aimee Mann, both regal and damaged simultaneously. This new LP is more serious, exploring the lonely darkness a bit, resulting in things both catchy (“Different Now”) and off-putting (“Caught in a Lie,” which features Grimm again pulling the change-of-speed trick she’s done before). It’s not always a fun listen, but it’s deep, as much as that might count — think your average episode of Girls. A- — Eric W. Saeger

• Many humans alive today were young during the early 1990s, and made out in cars to the beats of TLC, the three-girl crew that wasn’t as sexy as Destiny’s Child or Sisters With Voices, but they had the hottest songwriter in the game at the time, some lady named Pebbles, and then-LaFace Records chief Babyface was involved because he smelled three suckers who’d sign a record contract that read “You get everything, thanks,” and then they went bankrupt, for VH1 entertainment. Apparently they’ve sold enough recycled aluminum Budweiser cans to bored Kickstarter hipsters to make some semblance of a comeback, so you fans (if any of you mummies are still alive) can thrill to their first album in 15 years, on June 30! The self-titled album was produced by D’Mile, who’s done some stuff for Janet Jackson and the Biebs and Usher here and there, in other words he’s no Steve Lacy, but they had to get someone in there to remind these elderly ladies about their diabetes medications and keep them focused on making singles for 11-year-old twerkers, such as – wait a second, these are mostly remixes, like “Creep” and “No Scrubs.” Hold it, here’s a new one, called “Way Back,” and guess who’s on there, it’s Snoop Dogg, who gets a few lines after the girls name-check South Side and Jacko and Marvin Gaye, to remind you of how old you are. The beat is just perfect for K-Mart overhead speakers, thank heaven, and they also swear a few times, for the 11-yearolds and whatnot.

• Yuck, it’s Calvin Harris. I never liked that guy much, back when I was an ace reporter covering the house DJ scene, like I wondered how someone with such boring music could get so rich, but then again I used to get excited at anything that came in the mail from Ultra Records, forcing the stuff upon myself until I either liked it or went insane. Whatever, so he dumped Taylor Swift or vice versa, check your Tumblr for the latest bulletins, and he’s releasing his first LP in a few years, titled Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1. The single is “Slide,” which features Frank Ocean and Migos singing over nice beach-blanket-and-piano lines guaranteed to make that runway model date of yours melt like butter. Is there even one club in Manchvegas where they play sweet house music, or is it just the crunk?

• Hamster-wheel-metal gill-men The Acacia Strain are back, with a new full-length titled Gravebloom. They are from Chicopee, Mass., so I have to be nice to this music and say something inoffensive. Um, go Red Sox…!

• Chris Baio, the bass player for Paul Simon-wannabes Vampire Weekend, excretes his new album Man of the World. He brings the hot funk/Afrobeat/milquetoast-rock on the single “Philosophy.” It’s cool of course. — Eric W. Saeger

A COUNTRY ECO RETREAT & DINING DESTINATION

Inaugural Fringe Seacoast July 5 through July 11

New Hampshire, it’s time to get weird.

The state hosts its first ever fringe festival — Fringe Seacoast — in Dover July 5 through July 11 to celebrate all that’s new, wacky, weird, inspirational and creative.

The term “fringe” originated in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1947, when a group of artists decided to create their own performing arts festival. The plan was for the event to feature all kinds of art forms — theater, music, puppetry, spoken word, dance — but content would be new, risky or unpredictable. The same went for venues; theaters would work, yes, but so would hotels, restaurants or bus stops.

“They wanted to give artists a place to perform something a bit risky,” said Jamie Clavet, who’s heading Fringe Seacoast with Aimee Blessing of Theatre Unmasked, via phone. “Fringe festivals are notorious for launching new shows.”

Seventy years later, the Edinburgh festival is a massive annual event attracting visitors from all over the world and spawning smaller Fringe events, like this upcoming one in Dover. Clavet said she and Blessing were inspired by participating in a PortFringe fundraiser in Portland, Maine, a year ago. “[The organizers] said, it would be great if there was a Fringe festival in New Hampshire! Hint, hint!” Clavet said. “Aimee and I said, ‘Haha, that’s a funny idea, maybe!’ and they latched on that word — maybe.”

Blessing and Clavet set up casual meetings with area artists at local coffee shops and bookstores. From there, they created a committee and timed the inaugural event between PortFringe (June 17 through June 24 in Portland, Maine) and FringePVD (July 24 through July 29, in Providence, Rhode Island).

“Here in the Seacoast region … there are many artists looking for places to perform,” Clavet said. “At the same time, the Seacoast is such a tourist-heavy region. People are looking for things to do that don’t include going to a bar or going out to eat. … Even though we were setting up meetings to see the interest, Aimee and I knew this was something we wanted to happen. We made a pact that if nobody helped us, we wouldn’t do it. We got lucky, and people decided to jump on board.”

Fringe Seacoast features 12 shows, all 60 minutes or less. In addition to traditional fringe productions (Fringe Mainstage), the festival includes visual art (via Fringe Pop Up Gallery, featuring artists Beth Wittenberg, Kelsey Kingston, Marissa Vitolo, Samantha Gauvain and Shelby Phoenix) and music (via Fringe Late Night, featuring bands like Mica’s Groove Train, Chris Klaxton, Buddhapillar and Johnny Crashed & The Rednecks).

Fringe Seacoast Where: Dover Brickhouse (2 Orchard St., Dover), Strand Ballroom (20 Third St., Dover) and Cara Irish Pub & Chameleon Club (11 Fourth St., Dover); see site for schedule When: Wednesday, July 5, through Tuesday, July 11 Admission: $25 for opening party at Strand Ballroom, 6 to 10 p.m.; other shows $10 Contact: fringeseacoast.org, fringe@theatreunmasked.com or @fringeseacoast

Some mainstage fringe performers are locals, like Ben Hart and Brandon James, the artists behind Mad Haus (A Performance Portmanteau as Conceptualized by the Mad Men of Oopsy Daisy, Inc.), which is like an hour-long circus variety show. James described it as a blend of Alice in Wonderland, Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, with acts that might involve burlesque, puppetry, drag, visual art, acrobatics or painting.

“We’re really excited for this,” James said. “[Fringe festivals] really enrich the culture of the communities they’re in and expose people to new, different, interesting things.”

Driving up from Boston is Ingrid Oslund, who wrote and directs Women Writers Suicide Club, produced by the Boston Community Collaborative. The new play is based on the last weeks of writers Sarah Kane, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, spanning 40 minutes and showcasing six actors. She felt New Hampshire’s first Fringe festival was a great place to take her new piece.

“Massachusetts does not have a Fringe festival, which completely shocked and amazed me. … I’m from Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Fringe is huge. When I found out they were doing [the festival] an hour outside Boston, I jumped on it as quickly as possible,” Oslund said. “The type of theater I do is highly contemporary, highly conceptual and a little bit risky. Fringe festivals are a great place to test out material and take huge risks with support from fellow artists.”

Much of the theater is a bit out of the ordinary — like The Ballad of Typhoid Mary by Laura Loy and Liz Faiella, which incorporates music, masks and puppetry. There Ain’t No More! Death of a Folk Singer by Willi Carlisle and Joseph Fletcher is a one-man operetta based on legends of American folk music and the early vaudeville stage. On July 11 — World Fringe Day — representatives from Scotland’s Fringe festival will phone in with a congratulatory message.

Oslund plans to see everything, because “theater isn’t theater unless you show up for each other.”

“If you do see something cool at a Fringe festival, it’s so accessible to go and talk with [the artists] afterward,” Oslund said.

So you’ve got this idea.

It could be an idea for a short story, a novel or a screenplay, but if you’re like most people, you’ve never done anything more with the idea than think of it once in a while. Early on, this thinking was done with excitement; more recently, the excitement has been replaced by guilt.

Or, as Vermont writing coach Joni B. Cole memorably puts it, “Your once beautiful Great Idea now seems to bear the features of a feral pig.”

In her provocatively titled book Good Naked, Cole proposes to unstick the stuck and domesticate the pig, liberating the gasping ideas that never get oxygen because their captor (that would be you) cannot answer one question: Where to begin?

The Book of Genesis aside, the answer is not always “in the beginning.” The answer, Cole explains, is wherever you can find a way in. For the paralyzed artist, getting started sometimes means writing chapter 16 or stanza 20 or even the finale, then going back to the beginning once you’re in motion. It’s advice that’s been given before, but Cole, who teaches at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, is the rare writer whose technique and imagery remain with you forever, like straw stuck on fleece.

Example: the Bone Pointer.

A bone pointer, Cole writes, is a shaman in aboriginal Australia who delivers karmic justice with a 9-inch kangaroo femur. “The victim has no idea when the Bone Pointer will come for him, until this great spiritual power sneaks up and makes his presence known. He points the bone in the victim’s direction, but never touches him directly.

Regardless, the condemned man knows he has been cursed and will surely die. Then he does.”

The paralyzed writer in Peterborough or Portsmouth has his own personal bone pointer that thwarts creation with fear, Cole says. Using the game rock-paper-scissors as an analogy, she says fear always wins over craft and talent. (Often talent, glamorous as it may be, “has no real interest in working a desk job,” she says.)

In another memorable anecdote, Cole writes about a friend who wanted to build an airplane from a kit but became overwhelmed by the project once she started.

An advisor visited, looked at the soul-killing clutter, and offered advice that proved life-changing and airplane-finishing: “Don’t think about all the things you have left to do. Just touch the airplane three

times a week.”

“Just touch the plane” is the sort of gentle encouragement that the writer Anne Lamott offered in her instructional book Bird by Bird. Lamott may be better known outside of New England, but Cole is Lamott’s equal in writing about the craft with intelligence and wit, and she’s better than Elizabeth Gilbert, who similarly endeavored to inspire with her 2016 book Big Magic.

Cole’s gift, beyond a remarkable ability to anthropomorphize concepts like fear and ideas, is a winsome voice made buoyant with what some people consider excessive good cheer. A “friend” — air quotes are mine — once accused Cole of encouraging mediocrity because the coaching she does at writers’ workshops in Vermont and conventions across the country is irrepressibly sunny, as evidenced by her upbeat belief that “Just because you cannot write doesn’t mean you are not a writer.”

Plus, Cole shuns Lamott’s justification of a bad first draft.

“Though a first draft may be miles from polished prose or poetry, it is also far from crap, and calling it ugly names only makes it that much harder for the writer to recognize its merits,” she writes.

Even if a writer does wind up pitching much of a first draft, it usually serves a noble purpose, identifying “hot spots” of value that the writer can extract and develop later. “How do we access our muse? A first draft can show us, if we aren’t too distracted by calling it names.”

The title of Good Naked comes from Cole’s explanation of “good naked” and “bad naked” and the need for writers to share first drafts in a forum that offers the comfort and safety of a poorly lit bathroom.

Here, as at her Writer’s Center in White River Junction, Cole primarily addresses wordsmiths; the book’s subtitle is “reflections on how to write more, write better & be happier.”

But Good Naked fits nicely into the category of self-help books that flog artists of all stripes into doing the creative work to which they feel called (but not so called that they will actually do the work without getting a shove). Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art, Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, and Gilbert’s Big Magic share space on this shelf, and Good Naked is a worthy addition. If Cole doesn’t motivate you to finish that novel, watercolor or sonata, she’ll at least get you started. Alas, the bone pointer you’ll have to slay on your own. A — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Transformers: The Last Knight (PG-13)

Humans and Autobots join forces, again, to save the world, again, in Transformers: The Last Knight, the fifth and possibly worst of the Michael Bay Transformers movies.

And “worst” has some competition in this series.

Glossing over many many things in the end-of-the-yard-sale heap of random dump-bound items that is this movie, here is the basic story: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), inventor from the last movie, receives a magical knight accessory from a new-to-Earth Autobot. This metal seal, which attaches itself to Cade’s bicep, can turn into a weapon when needed and is also sort of sentient, it appears.

Also, a British historian-type/Megan Fox dead-ringer named Vivian Wembley (Laura Haddock) finds out she is the last in a family line that traces all the way back to Merlin (Stanley Tucci), wizard of King Arthur fame. As such, she has the power to wield a magical staff that, among other things, helps control a three-headed dragon made up of several knight-like Transformers who crashed on Earth some millennium and a half ago.

These two knight-related factoids come together in a fight to protect the planet from Quintessa (voice of Gemma Chan), a Transformer god (Transformer god?) who wants to, if I understand this correctly, use the aforementioned magic staff to plug the remains of Cybertron, the Transformers’ home world, into Earth (via Stonehenge, a magical USB port, I guess), which will lead to the rebirth of Cybertron and the destruction of Earth, which, wasn’t that sort of the plot of a previous Transformers movie? (The third one, according to Wikipedia.

And, also, sort of, Man of Steel?)

Transformers: The Last Knight is a mess, a jumbled crazy mess even messier and jumbledier than The Mummy, which I remember only a few weeks ago thinking set a new low for crazy messiness. In addition to the afore-

Transformers: The Last Knight

mentioned plot, this movie includes: • A 14-year-old daughter-like figure for Cade named Izabella (Isabela Moner). I feel like the purpose of Izabella is to provide an answer to those (me, for example) who think these movies tend to be icky about girls and women. Izabella is a bad-ass tween-type who is an engineer and lives in the rubble created from some Transformers-related battle. Izabella is super-important early in the movie and then, like, disappears, only to be shoved into the finale for no reason. Consider the “positive portrayals of women and girls” box not checked, movie.

• A flashback that riffs on the King Arthur stories and features Stanley Tucci having a pretty good time playing Merlin.

• Anthony Hopkins, whose character has this whole storyline about being in a secret society called the Witwiccan (who, like, know about the ye olden Transformers and Merlin and may or may not be related to Merlin; I Googled this plot point and I still don’t get it). But the otherwise forgotten Sam Witwicky of the first three movies does get a very brief visual nod. Also, Hopkins character may or may not be bonkers, the movie can’t seem to decide. (Side note: I also did a fair amount of Googling to try to figure out if the Laura Haddock character’s name is Vivian or Viviane and I can’t

Residential & Commercial Financing

get a straight answer on that either.)

• Hopkins’ character’s possibly immortal rage-filled robot butler, voiced by Jim Carter a.k.a. Carson the butler from Downton Abbey.

• An unnecessary John Turturro whose character delivers most of his lines from a phone booth in Cuba.

• An international military force that hunts down Transformers of all stripes, usually showing up whenever the movie needs some explosions.

• A different branch of the U.S. military that still employs the Josh Duhamel character.

• Some Optimus Prime (voice of Peter Cullen) continuing-saga stuff (he meets Quintessa on a trip to ... do … something).

• A subplot about Megatron (voice of Frank Welker) that I never really understood.

• An odd anti-science message toward the end of the movie, which pits a scientist’s perfectly sensible idea for destroying the Cybertron power-sucker against Vivian’s plan to just grab the staff, “by the power of Grayskull”-style. I feel like in a better movie, these things would work together.

Pick, like, two of those things, pair it with the Transformers movies’ admirable disinterest in taking themselves seriously and the inherent possibilities for action awesomeness that come with sentient robots that can

transform into cars and you could have a decent action movie. (You would also need to slice the movie down by an hour and set an “acceptable number of cuts per scene” limit at considerably fewer than this movie feels is OK.) But all of these things, stuffed into one movie, especially one movie that seems pretty lax about plot and pacing and internal logic, and you have a junk-drawer effect of a wad of single socks, rubber bands, out-of-date pizza menus, pen caps and old receipts. Sure, there might be a useable gift card in there somewhere, but are you really going to dig through to find it?

Likewise, there might be some promise in a “girl living in a no man’s land, fixing wounded Autobots” set up or an “Autobot refugees flock to Earth” plot point (two things this movie sets up in the beginning and then never returns to), but when you bury these things in so much narrative garbage and visual clutter, who cares?

Perhaps weirdest of all, this Transformers movie feels really light on Transformers and story related to our core Transformers.

At some point, the movie wanders around in Vivian’s story, not just her role as the last Witwiccan (or the last whatever she is) but also her relationship with her late father and her mother’s desire for her to get married. Talk about a big scoop of “who cares” plunked into the story in the middle of the action (well, sort of in the middle of the action; though every scene has that movie trailer “maximum excitement, minimum space” feel, the movie felt like it took forever to rev up, arguably until the final act).

The few times that we get scenes that put the Transformers themselves at the center, I was reminded that they can be fun characters — the kind of characters you might want to feature in a movie called Transformers. DRated PG-13 for violence and intense sequences of sci-fi action, language and some innuendo. Directed by Michael Bay with a screenplay by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway & Ken Nolan, Transformers: The Last Knight is two hours and 29 minutes long and is distributed by Paramount.

It’s fitting that Gilbert Gottfried is one of the first comedians to perform at the newly opened Manchester franchise of Chunky’s Cinema Pub, where most people come to the luxury multiplex for the movies.

Gottfried hosts a podcast devoted to Hollywood’s golden era, and his New York home is filled with pieces of movieola.

So the inveterate film buff is keen on the Chunky’s concept, where people typically watch movies while reclined in a Lincoln Town Car seat with a burger in one hand and a beer in the other.

“Everyone thinks they’re at their home at the movies anyway,” Gottfried said in a recent phone interview. “[You’re sitting] in an easy chair with people bringing you food — there are certain movies … that I kind of wish I were in that situation where I didn’t have to watch the movie.”

Gottfried is also the subject of new documentary, a fact that has him less than thrilled, if not outright grouchy. He only agreed to the film, which screened in April at Tribeca, after director Neil Berkeley invited him to lunch — and promised to pay. The comic said in one interview that he’d probably dine with Mussolini if he picked up the check.

Gilbert is a disarmingly sweet film, with appearances from Whoopi Goldberg, Lewis Black, Bill Burr and other comedian pals, but Gottfried likened his involvement to dying and going to the wrong place.

“It’s really what I envision hell to be like.

You die and then you’re forced to watch your entire life on the screen,” he said.

“Surprisingly, it’s gotten great reviews, but I can’t really enjoy it.”

When pressed, he’s a bit more good-natured.

“I guess if I were in hell, I’d have to remind myself that of all the things they could be doing to you, maybe watching a movie is not the worst of it,” he said. “Now if it were Hitler, that would be a harder movie to watch.”

The film revisits Gottfried’s loss of his Aflac duck gig after a series of offensive tweets, an experience that made him feel a bit, well, Hitler-esque.

“I didn’t know how the whole internet and society worked,” he said when asked if he might have done anything differently.

“They’re constantly looking for villains. ...

Someone who blew up a school bus would

have garnered more sympathy than I did.”

Getting stalked by reporters and paparazzi while the affair played out gave him vital perspective, particularly when wags declared the damage to be permanent.

“It truly is over when no one’s talking about you, when if you rescue a baby from a burning building, it won’t get press,” Gottfried said. “But if their top story is your career is over, then your career is not over.”

He’s had the final word, staying busy with lots of club work, and Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast. Cohosted by Frank Santopadre, the show gives the privately reticent comic a chance to talk with guests he’d otherwise never meet.

“I don’t know the phone numbers of maybe more than two celebrities, and I would have to look for them,” he said.

“With this podcast, it gives me an excuse to talk to these people.”

Television and film legend Dick Van Dyke provided one of his favorite moments making the show, though it happened off mike.

“He told me that in school his nickname was ‘Dick Nose,’” Gottfried said with his trademark cackle. “Whenever the teacher would ask a question, she’d say, ‘Who knows the answer?’ The class would scream out, ‘Dick knows!’ That’s something you never heard on The Dick Van Dyke Show.”

Gottfried visits the Granite State often.

Asked if he likes it here, the comic offered a classic response.

“Well, what am I supposed to say? I don’t know if I have really strong opinions, like people who hate blacks or Jews. I’ll go, ‘Oh, those people in New Hampshire, those are the ones I hate,’ and that’ll be something people know about me! They’ll go, ‘Oh, he might be lovable in his movies, but offstage he hates people from New Hampshire.’ That would be great if that was my next scandal.”

SOLO FLIGHTS AfterFab is America’s only tribute to the solo years of all four Beatles — and their unique concept has fans buzzing. The genius of The Beatles didn’t stop with Abbey Road.

AfterFab, without wigs or phony English accents, brings the brilliant solo careers of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, and Starr to life, all in one show. The band has attracted praise from noted Beatles experts and authors for their high fidelity to the classic original recordings, performed with high energy. See it Saturday, July 1, 7:30 p.m. at Palace Theatre (80 Hanover St., Manchester). Tickets $25 at palacetheatre.org.

HIPPO | JUNE 29 - JULY 5, 2017 | PAGE 62

• In some parts of traditional Japanese society, it remains not uncommon for someone to feel the need to “rent” “friends.” For example, relatives at a funeral bear grief better if they realize the many “friends” the deceased had. Or, a working man or woman may rent a sweetheart just to help deflect parental pressure to marry. In northern China, in April, a man was arrested for renting “family” and “friends” to populate his side of the aisle at his wedding. Apparently, there were conflicts plaguing each family, and police were investigating, but the groom surely worsened the plan by not coaching the actors on his personal details, thus making interfamily small-talk especially awkward.

• Our Litigious Society: (1) David Waugaman, 57, fell off a barstool last year and needed surgery, and of course he is suing the tavern at Ziggy’s Hotel in Youngwood, Pennsylvania, for continuing to serve him before he fell. Wrote Waugaman, “You’re not supposed to feed people so much booze.” (2) Robert Bratton filed a lawsuit recently in Columbia, Missouri, against the Hershey chocolate company because there was too much empty space in his grocery-store box of Reese’s Pieces, which he thought was “deceptive” (even though the correct number of Pieces was printed on the label). In May, federal judge Nanette Laughrey ruled that Bratton’s case could continue for the jury to decide.

• Latest From Offended Classes: (1) Some minority students’ organizations, commenting on the planned extensive renovation of the University of Michigan’s student union building, recommended ditching the current interior’s elegant wood paneling because it gives off an “imposing, masculine” feeling that makes them seem “marginalized.” A spokesperson for the students, attempting to soothe the controversy, said the marginalization was more based on the building’s “quiet nature.” (2) In Australia, Chanel’s just-introduced luxury woodand-resin boomerang (selling for the equivalent of about $1,415) came under fire from aboriginal groups for “cultural appropriation.” (Hermes had issued its own luxury boomerang in 2013.)

• For not the first time in News of the Weird’s experience, a man shot himself but had the bullet pass through him and hit a bystander (except this time it was fatal to the bystander). Victor Sibson, 21, was charged in Anchorage, Alaska, in May with killing his girlfriend even though he had aimed at his own head.

Investigators were persuaded that it was a genuine attempt, though he survived, but in critical condition.

• More Animals With Affordable Health Care: In April, the annual report of the Association of British Insurers on its members’ policies for pet owners noted that among the claims paid were those for a bearded dragon with an abscess, an anorexic Burmese python, a cocker spaniel that swallowed a turkey baster, a cockatoo with respiratory problems, and even a “lethargic” house cat (which nonetheless cost the equivalent of $470 to treat).

• Legal “Experts” Everywhere! American “sovereigns” litter courtrooms with their self-indulgent misreadings of history and the Constitution (misreadings that, coincidentally, happen to favor them with free passes on arrests and tax-paying), but now, the U.K.’s Exeter Crown Court has experienced Mark Angell, 41, who said in May that he simply could not step into the courtroom dock to state a plea concerning possession of cannabis because he would thus be “submitting” to “maritime law,” which he could not legally do on dry land. Judge: “Don’t talk nonsense.

Get in the dock.” Angell was ordered to trial. Before leaving, he gave the judge a bill for his detention: the equivalent of $2.5 million.

• More Third-World Religion: In March, Zimbabwean pastor Paul Sanyangore of Victory World International Ministries was captured on video during a sermon telephoning God. Clutching a phone to his ear, he yelled, “Hello, is this heaven? I have a woman here, what do you have to say about her?” (Her two children, one epileptic, the other asthmatic, are then confusingly described by

“heaven” as being “changed,” and Paul ended the call to resounding cheers from the congregation.)

More of the World’s Third-Oldest Crime (Smuggling): (1) In the latest awesome drug-mule haul of gold (into South Korea, where it fetches higher prices than in neighboring countries), 51 people were arrested in May for bringing in, over a two-year period, a cumulative two tons, worth $99 million, by hiding it in body parts. (2) Customs officials in Abdali, Kuwait, apprehended a pigeon in May with 178 ketamine pills inside a fabric pocket attached to its back.
