GRANITE VIEWS FRED BRAMANTE

Take them all down First, let me say that I don’t support changing the name of the Washington Redskins or turning Christopher Columbus, George Washington or Thomas Jefferson into bad guys. And I have serious issues with the Black Lives Matter movement. That said, in light of recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia, I now believe that we should remove memorials (i.e. statues, etc.) that honor and celebrate Confederate Civil War “heroes.”

While I respect the soldiers, many of which were pulled into the war against their will, the South was, in no small part, fighting for an evil cause. The South rebelled against the government of the United States of America.

Therefore, their leadership should not be celebrated in the United States of America. The good side won, the bad side lost and America is greater as a result.

The simple fact is that Nazis, white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan have chosen to use these statues as rallying symbols while waving Nazi and Confederate flags, wearing KKK hoods and Nazi swastikas, shouting hateful chants, carrying torches, while armed with clubs and shields, ready to fight. This is so over-the-top that I say “enough is enough.”

Take them all down. Build a museum or maybe 10 museums to celebrate anything that you want on private property. Put in a collection of different styles of KKK hoods, Confederate flags and celebrate hate if you wish but do it on private property, not in public places.

What other country would even consider honoring the losing side? Are there statues celebrating the Nazis in Germany? I doubt it. How about Batista in Cuba or the Shah in Iran? The winning side doesn’t celebrate the losing side especially when the ideologies are so opposite from one another.

While I love free speech, memorials celebrating champions of slavery should not be allowed in a public place. I am not looking to rewrite history. That’s why I suggest relocating these memorials to private property where, in America, you can say anything you want. But on properties owned and supported by the citizens, we should not be honoring the memories of those responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans in the name of an evil cause. Because these memorials are going to continue to be excuses for more public displays of hate and violence, take them down.

Lastly, Mr. President, if you have any interest in trying to redeem yourself on this issue, you can make America greater by issuing one of your executive orders to take all of these memorials down now.

NEWS & NOTES DOC news

According to a press release from the state Department of Corrections, the new women’s prison in Concord is on track to be “substantially complete” by November. The opening date is still unannounced but the press release said that, upon completion, the new facility will address programming, treatment and rehabilitation needs of the women in the state’s custody and care.

The new prison is three times as big as the current women’s prison in Goffstown, which houses about 140 inmates. The new facility will have room for 224 women.

Meanwhile, the Concord Monitor reported longtime Department of Corrections Commissioner William Wrenn has submitted his resignation letter to the governor.

Wrenn has served in the position for 12 years. He will step down in November. The news was shared with the Executive Council during its last meeting. In his letter of resignation, Wrenn said it was “time to pass the baton” to a new leader to build on the department’s accomplishments.

And, months after the Teamsters 633 declared an impasse in its talks with the governor’s office, no progress has been made in arriving at a contract agreement. The Concord Monitor reported the union, which represents 400 corrections officers, said Gov. Chris Sununu needs to address the staffing shortage in the state. The union points to salaries that are lower than those of some police jobs and federal corrections officers. The governor’s office reportedly pointed to a 10-percent increase in the Department of Corrections budget to pay for 55 additional positions and a new canine unit. But a union official said the budget increase was actually 3 percent when other cuts are factored.

SB3 lawsuit

The state Democratic Party filed a lawsuit challenging the new voter rules signed into law by Gov. Chris Sununu, claiming the requirements laid out in Senate Bill 3 are onerous and unconstitutional. In a statement released by House Democratic Leader Steve Shurtleff, he accuses Republicans of trying to make it harder for folks

to register to vote for political reasons, and says that there is virtually no voter fraud to combat, despite that being the ostensible purpose of the law.

“The bureaucratic requirements established by SB3 are so cumbersome that the unnecessary complexity appears deliberate,” Shurtleff said.

In a statement released by GOP Chair Jeanie Forrester, she called the lawsuit “frivolous” and said the move is politically motivated.

Forrester also said state residents support the law, and that it protects their right to vote.

“The crucial reforms made in SB3 ensure the integrity of our ballot box,” Forrester said.

The AP reported the New Hampshire attorney general intends to defend the law. The law requires voters registering within 30 days of an election to provide proof they intend to stay in the state. A second lawsuit against the law was filed on behalf of the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire and is backed by Priorities USA Action, a Democratic super PAC that backed the presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

The New Hampshire Lottery Commission launched a new game based on the New England Patriots with a ceremony at the Statehouse on Tuesday, Aug. 29. The AP reported that Patriots owner Robert Kraft was at the ceremony along with Gov. Chris Sununu, former players and the Patriots cheerleaders. Following the launch of the 2017 New England Patriots $5 Scratch Ticket, the Patriots hosted a mini-training camp on the Statehouse lawn with 100 youth football players from the Merrimack Cardinals.

The New Hampshire Labor Day celebration with Sen. Bernie Sanders is being held at Rollins Park in Concord from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is hosted by Rights & Democracy, which promotes progressive candidates and ideas in the state (radnh.org).

Of that, about 400 are benefitting from a new program called the Granite Guarantee, which awards free tuition to any first-year student from New Hampshire who is receiving federal Pell grants. The program was announced six months ago and the school expected only 285 students to be enrolled in the program for the first year. Meanwhile, with more than 490 new students coming to NEC, the Henniker school is welcoming the largest incoming class ever in its 70-year history. The previous record was around 420 students.

Chris Stawasz, the regional director of AMR, told WMUR the uptick is likely caused by an increase in demand and availability of drugs. He said the spike is taking a toll on first responders.

Health care uncertainty The political ramifications of rising premiums

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Insurance rates for individual health care purchased through the Healthcare.gov marketplace seem poised to skyrocket, and as lawmakers let an opportunity to mitigate those costs slip by, analysts say it’s too soon to say whether there will be any political fallout for state leaders in the 2018 elections.

“It’s a real issue that impacts a lot of people, but the political parts of it, it’s a matter of how that is spun by the parties and how plausible the explanations the parties come up with … are that’s going to determine how effective it is as a political issue,” said Andy Smith, political scientist and pollster at the University of New Hampshire.

No reinsurance program

On Aug. 1, a legislative panel voted along party lines not to take steps to mitigate rising premiums, with Republicans in the no column. As a result, Democrats are accusing state Republicans of trying to sabotage Obamacare. Republicans say Obamacare is a dying patient and the proposed remedy would have hurt others and wouldn’t have been a cure.

Republican Gov. Chris Sununu also opposed the plan to create a reinsurance program, which would have reduced premium increases for the individual insurance market in 2018. The proposal by the New Hampshire Insurance Department would have taxed the insurance carriers in the state and used additional federal funding that, if granted, would have helped cover high-cost claims and enable companies to lower their rates.

Sununu had originally supported the idea of a reinsurance program but decided not to sup-

port the specific plan because it would mean taking money from all insurance companies in the state, which could negatively affect businesses that offer insurance to employees.

A spokesperson at the Insurance Department said most reinsurance mechanisms deployed in the state in the past were funded by taxing the broader market.

In response to the legislative panel’s decision, Democratic state Sen. Martha Fuller Clark released a statement saying “Governor Sununu and his Republican allies are playing dangerous political games with our health care system, risking insurance carriers leaving our state, risking higher premiums for our hard-working families, and creating more destabilization in New Hampshires’s health care system.”

Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley said the tax would raise costs for employers to “scarcely” lower projected increases, from around 40 percent to about 35.

“That is not our definition of success,” Bradley said.

Political calculus

The increases are high, but tensions are higher and the rhetoric is couched in terms of “political games” in large part because the issue with New Hampshire’s rising premiums is happening against a backdrop of the debate over health care at the federal level. The Trump administration has signaled a willingness to let Obamacare fall apart in time or, through withholding funding, accelerate its demise.

One specific question that has caused serious uncertainty is whether the federal government will continue to fund cost-sharing reductions, which are subsidies baked into the

cost of certain plans for low-income enrollees.

This is one of the likely factors that carriers have considered when they projected rate increases for next year. A recent study by the Kaiser Health Foundation found that uncertainty in the market caused by mixed signals sent by President Trump have caused doubledigit rate increases across the country.

“I think Democrats are concerned that Republicans have talked so much about Obamacare failing that they’re going to kind of nudge it over the cliff by not providing the things that you’re supposed to provide by law to keep them running,” said political analyst Dean Spiliotes.

New Hampshire originally had until Aug. 16 to weigh in on the rate increases by assuring carriers with the certainty of a reinsurance program. That deadline was recently pushed to Sept. 5, but it’s unclear whether the reinsurance plan will be revisited.

When Republicans in the state let that window of opportunity pass by, it seemed to some like it was part of the same strategy of accelerating Obamacare’s failure.

But a failure of the health care market under the Republicans’ watch could hurt state residents and look bad politically.

For his part, Sununu has sent letters to Trump asking him to take the steps necessary to maintain stability, including funding CSRs, at least until broader reform is possible.

But the parties remain divided on how they define the nature of Obamacare’s problems.

Democrats say it’s not perfect and needs to be shored up and fixed. Republicans say its demise is inevitable and it’s not worth saving long term. They both blame each other for the problem, and that will shape the debate in the coming elections in 2018.

“I’m sure there will be finger-pointing between the two sides,” Spiliotes said.

How will this affect you?

The rate increases projected for 2018 are mostly for people who do not get their insurance through their employers. And the rate hikes are far higher than what we’ve seen in the past, according to Michael Wilkey, the director of life, accident and health at the Insurance Department.

“I think it would be safe to say that the increases since the onset of the Affordable Care Act in New Hampshire have been in single digits each year,” Wilkey said.

But the projections submitted by the carriers show median rates for four out of five individual health plans increasing by about 35 to 45 percent.

Jennifer Patterson, health policy legal counsel at the Insurance Department, said this

would not so much affect people who qualify for subsidies, since subsidies are keyed to cost, but it will affect those who pay full price.

“One of the groups of people that we were concerned about and prompted us to make effort to come up with the reinsurance plan was that group of people that actually paid full price for their insurance plan,” Patterson said.

For example, the median monthly premium for a silver plan covering a 40-year-old nonsmoker will go up from $335 in 2017 to $479 in 2018.

As of this month, there are 87,577 Granite Staters enrolled with individual health plans, according to the New Hampshire Insurance Department.

Positions (mostly) filled

Despite nationwide shortages, state mental hospital is staffed up

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

New Hampshire Hospital’s clinical staffing is now stable, according to Dartmouth’s head of psychiatry, despite a contract kerfuffle this summer, an exodus of about a dozen clinical staff last year and a national shortage of psychiatrists.

The shortage

New Hampshire Hospital is a state-run mental hospital, but its psychiatric clinicians are staffed by Dartmouth-Hitchcock.

Earlier this month, Dartmouth and the state settled a contract dispute over its staffing of New Hampshire Hospital, the inpatient psy-

chiatric institute in Concord. At issue was whether Dartmouth had the required 11 general psychiatrists on staff, plus a geriatric psychiatrist, and whether it had reported its numbers accurately to the state. The hospital was short by two psychiatrists.

The most recent available staffing report from the state dated July 31 shows there are 10.8 full-time equivalent general psychiatrists out of 11 and a geriatric psychiatrist.

In May, Gov. Chris Sununu fired the CEO of the hospital over the issue. Dartmouth rejoined at the time saying it had reported the numbers accurately and that the state was making it “impossible” to fulfill staffing levels because of statements from the governor and other state officials suggesting Dart-

mouth was untrustworthy.

Dr. Alan Green, the head of the psychiatry department at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine, said the psychiatry field has changed a lot over the past couple decades.

“Many of the psychiatrists … are older and retiring and I think there’s been a problem that there hasn’t been development of enough new psychiatrists over the last 20 years,” Green said. “So there’s, at this point, a national shortage of psychiatrists.”

According to a 2015 report by Merritt Hawkins, only about 6,000 new psychiatrists will graduate from medical school over the next four years, while about 12,500 current psychiatrists will retire over that period.

Making the shortage even more sharply

felt is heightened demand for psychiatric services. Green said that the demand has risen especially in the past five years commensurate to the public’s recognition that people with mental disorders aren’t getting adequate care across the country. More than ever before, psychiatrists are working collaboratively with primary care offices, he said.

“And that’s put an even further strain on … psychiatrists. There simply aren’t enough of them,” Green said.

He said that difficulty is certainly felt here.

At New Hampshire Hospital, they’ve been able to fill the posts they need to fill for now, but when someone gets promoted internally, there will probably be a longer lag time to fill that vacated position, Green said.

How communities can bring books to the people

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

Nashua is getting eight Little Free Libraries installed across the city. The outdoor cabinets, each about two or three times as big as a birdhouse, will contain books that community members are free to borrow from or lend into.

“You don’t check them out. It’s purely an honor system,” said Nashua Public Library Director Jen McCormack.

The tiny libraries have a door and roof and are weatherproof, and they fit a couple dozen books, depending on what kinds of books are in there at any given time — and they can be anything from kids’ picture books to YA novels to adult fiction or nonfiction. The options change continuously as people borrow and give back.

Nashua is the most recent New Hampshire city to launch such an initiative. Concord Public Library had six Little Free Libraries installed in the city with the help of a local Eagle Scout, according to Library Director Todd Fabian. They’re all on public land.

“We picked four city parks and two trailheads,” Fabian said.

Liz Fitzgerald with United Way of Greater Nashua said Milford and Brookline have a similar program. And individuals have set them up at locations around the state. There are at least about 60 statewide, according to the map on littlefreelibrary.org, including five in Manchester (which are not maintained by the city library). And there are likely more since not everyone elects to pay to have their box registered on the national map.

On Aug. 30, volunteers erected the eight Little Free Libraries at places like the Legacy Playground, the Nashua Rail Trail, Labine Park and in front of the Greater Nashua Den-

6 Last year, Cheshire Medical Center/ Dartmouth-Hitchcock Keene closed its psychiatric wing because it couldn’t recruit enough psychiatrists. But New Hampshire Hospital has some things Cheshire didn’t have, which may have helped with recruitment.

Finding new recruits

Green said one of the biggest advantages New Hampshire Hospital has is its connection with the medical school. They will often hire fresh grads, and most of the psychiatrists who have worked there trained at Dartmouth, he said. Plus, the mental hospital is a popular training site for residents.

“That’s made it possible for us to recruit really top-notch people, psychiatrists, advance practice nurses and others, to work at what is really a wonderful hospital,” Green said.

tal Connection. McCormack said most of the locations they chose are “book deserts,” which are places that have difficulty getting access to books. Many of them will be located about a mile or so from the public library.

“We looked at neighborhoods that are not comfortably within walking distance of the library,” McCormack said.

Other locations were picked for high visibility like the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd across the street from City Hall and the United Way of Greater Nashua offices.

“I think the population the library is trying to reach are people that don’t come in here but that want books,” McCormack said.

Replicating the program

Fitzgerald said this program has been on the radar of the United Way nationwide as the movement grows momentum and popularity.

The United Way of Greater Nashua funded a third of this project. The Nashua Public Library paid for another third and BAE Systems funded the final third. So far, Fitzgerald said, Granite United Way, which services Manchester, doesn’t have any plans to do this in the Queen City yet.

But McCormack said any public library can get started on creating Little Free Libraries on its own. And no surveys are necessary.

“I really think this is such a fun and fairly simple project...,” McCormack said. “I think it should start with the libraries, because we are the ones who pick the books; we know our customers.”

Nashua Public Library bought pre-built Little Free Libraries, but some communities can commission new ones to be made by volunteers or trade school students with relative ease.

It’s costing Nashua about $600 per Little

Talented psychiatrists are often looking for a place that’s a center of learning and research, and New Hampshire Hospital often fits the bill because of its association with the medical school, Green said.

Lisa Mistler, a psychiatrist at the mental hospital and the president of the New Hampshire Psychiatric Society, agrees the affiliation with the school was key when the mental health hospital was trying to find the clinical staff it needed to become stable. She said the success it had at hiring psychiatrists was “remarkable” considering the nationwide shortage.

Part of that success was due to Dartmouth stepping up its recruitment efforts.

At it’s peak, it had a recruiting task force of about half a dozen people working to find the clinical staff the mental hospital need-

Free Library, which includes the cost of the cabinet, the Dig Safe survey and paying to register the site at littlefreelibrary.org, which makes it easily searchable online. P&L Landscaping in Merrimack is excavating the post holes for free.

This project can also be undertaken by any private citizen who wants to install a Little Free Library on their front lawn, which can be particularly appropriate for small towns.

“If somebody thinks, ‘Oh, this could work in my neighborhood,’ you don’t need the library. You can ask [the local library] for some assistance, but anybody can do it,” McCormack said.

She thinks it’s a fairly low-risk proposition, save for the possibility of the Little Free Libraries being unpopular in spots or vandalized, which is always a risk in densely populated downtown areas. But she said they can always move a Little Free Library to a new location if they find it isn’t getting any use.

“I think most people appreciate it and I don’t think we should ever let the threat of vandalism stop us from doing projects that we know are good for the community and for the majority of people who live here,” McCormack said.

ed to meet the requirements of the contract.

Dartmouth, with the help of an outside firm, did outreach to thousands of psychiatrists and advanced practice psychiatric nurses through mailers and cold calling and events, according to Dartmouth recruiter Kyle Hayman. Then the recruiters set up over 100 initial interviews with candidates for New Hampshire Hospital. Hayman said that was significantly more than previous years and Dartmouth spent upward of $100,000 in the past year’s recruitment efforts.

“We have a very active recruitment system,” Green said. “We basically scour the national network.”

Currently, Hayman said, the hospital still has four clinical positions to fill for a geriatric psychiatrist, an addiction psychiatrist and two general adult psychiatrists.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Bacteria spike in river water

A high count of E. coli bacteria was detected by the Upper Merrimack River Monitoring Program in Franklin, the Concord Monitor reported. The test from samples taken where the Pemigewasset and Merrimack rivers meet under the Central Street Bridge found three times the state limit for Class B water bodies. The test detected 1,299 colonies per 100 milliliters of river water. The state limit is 406. There were 11 sample sites tested by the volunteer group over the summer.

The high E. coli levels were found in the northernmost site. All other sites tested well below the state limit. While there has been no evidence of illegal activity in this case, high bacteria levels detected in Franklin over 10 years ago led to the discovery of illicit sewage pipes feeding into the river. E. coli tends to come from mammal feces. .

QOL score: -1 Comment: The monitoring program collected samples every two weeks from mid-June to mid-August.

Rare bird spotted

Sightings of a rare bird have recently been reported in Rollinsford, according to the AP. Identified by the crimson cap on its head, the sandhill crane is not typically found this far east. Becky Suomala of the New Hampshire Audubon Society told Foster’s Daily Democrat that the birds are still rare in New Hampshire but are becoming less so.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Another nesting pair of sandhill cranes is known to be nesting in Monroe along the New Hampshire/Vermont border.

Opioid prescriptions declining

In a press release, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in New Hampshire announced that prescribed opioid use among its members has dropped by 20 percent in the past year. Anthem credits new rules limiting coverage to seven days for first-time patients, requiring provider prior authorization and directing those most at risk of abusing opioids to a single pharmacy as factors in the decline. Anthem’s parent company met a national goal of decreasing opioid prescriptions by 30 percent since 2012 when prescriptions for opioids peaked.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Experts say heroin and fentanyl addiction often starts with prescription opioids.

More good news on the drug crisis front

Thanks to additional money appropriated in the state’s operating budget, treatment providers on the ground will be seeing some extra money coming their way soon. NHPR reported more than $1 million in state contracts were approved unanimously by the Executive Council. The money will be distributed by the Governor’s Commission on Drugs and Alcohol. About $400,000 will fund youth prevention services in the greater Salem and Grafton areas, $400,000 will pay for temporary housing for the Safe Station programs in Manchester and Nashua, and $250,000 will go toward a new residential treatment center in the North Country.

If you read last week’s column on hypothetical major trades, you already know where I stand on the big one that happened between the time I wrote about it and the time Hippo Sports hit the streets. Other than the fact that it brings to mind the shocking Phil Esposito for Jean Ratelle and Brad Park deal that sent Bruins fans into a tizzy many moons ago, I pretty much hate handing Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the 2018 Brooklyn pick over to Eastern rival Cleveland on a silver platter for Kyrie Irving.

While I know Irving can score on anyone, I loved watching Isaiah and don’t want him to go. Also in that vein, who do you now root for — Marcus Smart or just the laundry? Next time you hear someone say, “fire the manager because you can’t trade all the players,” bring up Danny Ainge incredibly dumping his best player and 10 other guys off a team that won 54 games and two playoff rounds in two months. Who does that?

The other reason is that at best they’re just marginally better. That hardly justifies the gigantic price paid. Here’s why.

Case for Keeping Isaiah: I said last week I wouldn’t trade Thomas even up for Irving and I still wouldn’t, though the hip issue is troubling long term. But when he got here the Celtics were 22-33 and going nowhere. They then won 18 of 27 to surprisingly make the playoffs, 48 the next year and 54 this year, when he was fabulous. It was not an accident. He’s one of those guys who makes everyone better by inspiring them to play harder and better. I don’t see anything in Irving’s past to suggest he’ll do that. His teams won 21, 23 and 33 before LeBron arrived. Not his fault, but please don’t believe their leap had anything to do with it besides Lebron getting there.

Case for Sending Isaiah: Danny simply doesn’t think Isaiah’s a max guy. I don’t

Anytime.

Anywhere.

Any day...

The Brooklyn Pick: I hate this most.

There are no guarantees and we don’t know where this pick will fall, especially with Brooklyn maybe not as awful next year.

But if Cleveland walked without getting it, good. Even if Irving is better, they’re still weak and thin on the glass now, and weaker going forward when they’ll likely battle Philly for Eastern supremacy into the next decade. So, with Al Horford toast by then, who’ll play Joel Embiid? Danny knows the next draft class better than me. But it’s shaping up to be big man rich. Hitting then and with the L.A. pick in 2018 along with giving Isaiah the max deal would put them in position for a five- to seven-year run that Irving’s arrival minus the Net pick doesn’t guarantee.

Bottom line: The bench, defense and physicality all got weaker, while also losing a raw but promising big for the future, and now they must rely on Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown a lot more than expected.

Meanwhile adding Crowder to Cleveland’s bench makes them better. So even if the Cs are marginally better, they’re not beating Cleveland in the East. And if they do, it’s no shot against Golden State. Thus, being patient one more year would have yielded more long term. If it was for Isaiah, Crowder, Zizic and two later first-round picks I still wouldn’t like it. But with the Brooklyn pick included, Danny got his pocket picked.

What Would Change My Mind: If Danny is playing chess and it somehow leads to getting Anthony Davis, as trading a high pick for Ray Allen led to getting Kevin Garnett. I can’t see how he’ll have the ammo for that after giving up the Brooklyn pick, his best player and thinning out the bench to get Irving. But if Danny somehow does that without giving up the now crucial to the bench Tatum and Brown duo, I’ll happily say he was right and I was wrong.

agree, but agree that concerns IT can take the pounding he does without a getting big injury during the term of the big contract are justified. And the torn labrum that’s put the trade in jeopardy could be the start.

Will Irving Make Them Better: He’s bigger (who isn’t) and is great at getting his own shot. Beyond that, ah, ah, ah — that’s all. Isaiah scored 29 per and made every big shot he had all year. How can Irving improve on that? By scoring 35 a game? He won’t do that playing with Gordon Hayward and who wants that kind of imbalance anyway. He’s younger? Isaiah’s 28 and guys don’t begin to slide till 33.

Isaiah’s liability was defense? I hope you don’t expect a guy whose historically never put in effort on D will suddenly morph into Gary Payton.

Championship Driven: Yes, Irving scored 25 per this year and made a spectacular shot to win the 2016 NBA title. But with LeBron drawing the triple team, who doesn’t think IT could shake anyone on Golden State to get the same kind of shot?

Remember, the first time Cleveland got to the finals both Irving and Kevin Love were hurt. That means LeBron got them there by himself. What makes you think he wouldn’t have done that again the next two years as well?

Isaiah Can Be Controlled In The Playoffs: Guess you missed the 53 points he laid on Washington. Irving’s never done that. And while it’s true IT has been bottled up in the past, he’s faced triple teams Kyrie rarely has with LeBron on his side.

We’ll see how that goes when the situation is reversed.

Durability Counts: In his six NBA seasons Irving has missed 25-plus games three times, 111 overall of 482 possible and got knocked out early in the 2015 playoff for good. Not to mention he missed almost his entire one year at Duke. For IT it’s 442 played in 492 possible games. The current injury notwithstanding, durability favors Thomas.

High school sports are back

The Big Story: The high school sport season is back after being, ah, kicked off by a host of soccer games Friday afternoon.

Later in the day came the annual 12-team football jamboree at Gill Stadium, which was followed Saturday the Playing for a Purpose field hockey jamboree at Memorial. Buckle up — if the first two days of action are an indicator, it’s going to be a good season.

Sports 101: The recently passed away ex-Red Sox slugger Don Baylor was one of four people to be a league MVP and Manager of the Year (first awarded in 1983).

Name the other three.

Athlete of the Week: To Windham CC Assistant Pro Rich Berberian for finishing second — in the NE PGA Section Championship. The 2014 and 2015 winner carded a final-day 71 for a three-day total of 211 (66-74-71) at the Renaissance Golf Course in Haverhill, Mass. That was three strokes back of winner Liam Friedman of Concord, Mass. SNHU Golf Coach Matt Arvanitis was back in the pack at 24th overall at 227 (74-76-77).

Sports Glossary

Esposito for Park and Ratelle: Epic fall 1975 blockbuster that shocked Bruins fans to their core. It was universally hated in Boston for sending beloved Phil Esposito to the bitter rival New York Rangers and for giving away way too much. It brought back center Jean Ratelle and all-NHL blueliner Brad Park, who, to make it all worse, had just written a book totally trashing the Bruins. Basically, Harry Sinden traded his A+ player and mediocre defenseman Carol Vadnais for two A- players — which 20-20 hindsight gives big to Harry, as after scoring 100 points seven times in Boston, Espo never again scored more than 81 as New York was sub-.500 in four of his five Rangers seasons. Meanwhile after losing Espo and Bobby Orr soon after, the Bs remained an elite team helped along by 14 combined seasons off high-level play from Ratelle and Park.

Loss of Bobby Orr: He left the Bs after being tricked by his now disgraced ex-con agent Alan Eagleson to sign with Chicago for a lesser offer in 1976, leaving distraught Bruins fans looking for the nearest fourth-floor ledge. But, alas, the knees were gone and Bobby thankfully played just 26 games for the Blackhawks.

Gary Payton: Mostly ’90s Hall of Fame point guard who spent a season in Boston after years as a star in Seattle. To purists, his backed it in offensive game was, well, offensive. But few will dispute he was the premier defensive NBA guard of his time.

f the idea of exploring new territory and hunting for treasure excites you, there are hobbies that let you live that dream. Learn how to use a map and compass to find your way with orienteering, or dig up some buried treasures of the past with metal detecting. If you like puzzles and problem-solving, you may like the GPS-enabled treasure-hunting game known as geocaching. Find what interests you and head outside on an epic adventure.

Finding your way

The sport of using a map and compass The sport of orienteering has just two components: a map and a compass. The goal is to use the map and compass to find a series of specific landmarks, known as “controls,” which have on or near them a flag or marker of some sort with a number corresponding to the control’s number on the map.

Pete Bundschuh of New Hampshire’s only orienteering club, Up North Orienteers, manages a permanent orienteering course, one of a few in the state, at Beaver Brook nature center in Hollis.

On a recent morning, I met Bundschuh at the course for a walkthrough. He handed me a compass and a laminated map of the course and started walking me through the map’s numerous colors and symbols.

“The yellow spots are open areas and fields. Blue is water. Green is woods.

Dashed lines are trails and stone walls,” he said. “Everything is on here, even individual rocks. These are enormously detailed maps.”

The fun is in the challenge, he said, of using your own resources and problemsolving to find your way in an unknown place.

“There’s a satisfaction that comes with

being able to figure out the map and find the markers and being able to say, ‘I got it!’ he said. “It’s so fun in that regard.”

After covering the basics, we headed over to the trail opening. First up was No. 2: a rock pile.

“This dashed line is the trail in front of us,” Bundschuh said, pointing to the map.

“Looks like we’re going to walk down and go left, then cross a stream and we should see our rock pile.”

Sure enough, we found the rock pile at the exact point indicated on the map, situated in front of a tree with an orange marker labeled “#2.”

We went on to find No. 1, a trail junction, and No. 3, another rockpile. No. 8, a bend in a stone wall, required some light bushwhacking as we followed the stone wall off-trail and into the woods.

“Once you start doing it more, you get a feel for it,” he said. “It just takes a while to get used to.”

Orienteering is a game of observation and attention to detail. The compass may be used to orient the map so that it’s facing the right way, and to help you get back on the right track if you get lost, but the act of navigation itself is centered on using the map.

“It’s not really about the compass or

about going in a certain direction and hoping you find [the control],” said Deb Humiston, membership director for Up North Orienteers and founder and owner of Ultimate Treasure Hunts, an Exeterbased business that organizes orienteering and treasure hunting activities for corporate and school events, private parties,

civic programs and town-wide celebrations. “It’s about paying attention to the real things around you and finding those things on the map.”

Every orienteer may get to a control in a different way, depending on the direction they’re approaching it from and what landmarks they decide to look for and follow.

“There is no right way to get from one place to another. You just go by what you see and what you know and what makes you feel confident,” Humiston said. “It requires each person to use their own judgment and understanding and competence to get somewhere.”

There are three permanent orienteering courses in New Hampshire including the one at Beaver Brook and courses in Milford and Wolfeboro. The courses have a dozen to two dozen marked controls with varying levels of difficulty and usually take an hour or two to complete. As an added challenge, each marker contains a letter or group of letters that the orienteer can use to decode a secret message after he finds all of the controls. Orienteers can do a self-led walk through of the courses at any time, either to practice their skills or just for fun.

The maps and instructions for these courses can be downloaded and printed from the Up North Orienteers website.

competitively. The goal of the competition is to complete a course in the fastest time.

Courses can take anywhere from an hour or two to a whole day to complete.

“Certainly there are people who come and just want to have fun doing it. It’s not like you have to graduate to being competitive,” Bundschuh said. “I feel like orienteering is intrinsically fun, but it’s another challenge, if you’re experienced, to say, ‘How fast can I do this?’ and try to have the fastest time on your course.”

Up North Orienteers hosts several events in the spring and several in the fall each year, including some national Orienteering USA sanctioned events. Creating the maps for these events is a meticulous process that involves flyover images of the landscape and a person walking through the course and mapping out every landmark.

“The main requirement for orienteering is a detailed map,” said Bundschuh, who walks through the Beaver Brook course once a year and updates the map with any new or altered landmarks. “So a lot of work goes into making these maps.”

If you’ve never been orienteering and would like to give it a try, the best thing to do is to attend a live event, Bundschuh said, where you can walk through an easy course and receive instruction on how to read the map and compass.

“At the permanent courses … you can walk around and teach yourself,” Humiston said. “You aren’t comparing yourself to other people. It’s a personal challenge to improve your own ability.”

While permanent courses are one aspect of orienteering, the sport itself revolves around live events, for which the courses are uniquely designed. Events are more structured than permanent courses in that they are timed, and orienteers must find the controls in the order specified on the map, but there are multiple courses to choose from, ranging from beginner to advanced.

Beginner courses include controls that are easy to identify, such as a trail junction or a rock pile, and are located on or in close proximity to a trail, or can be found by following a stone wall or a stream.

“They’re focused on getting you used to the map and helping you learn how the map works, not so much about finding things,” Bundschuh said. “We don’t ask you to figure it all out at once.”

The more challenging courses include controls that are smaller and less noticeable, such as individual rocks. They’re typically located off-trail and may only be found by following landmarks that are difficult to observe, like a slight change in the contours of the topography.

At an event, orienteers also have the option of participating recreationally or

From silver and gold jewelry to rare coins and historic artifacts, metal detecting can yield some serious treasure.

The sport involves waving an electronic device, the metal detector, over the ground to find metal objects on the surface or buried underground, usually up to 15 inches deep. When metal is detected, the detector responds with beeps or tones, and, on more advanced detectors, there are different kinds of beeps and tones that correspond to the range and conductivity of the object. A bottle cap, for example, may produce a different sound from that of a ring.

“The operator and the detector have to understand each other,” said Michael Warren, president of the Granite State Treasure Hunters Club for Historic Preservation, a statewide metal detecting club. “It can be a tedious hobby for people when they’re just starting out, if they’re somewhere like a park where there are a lot of nails and bobby pins and bottle caps, but that’s part of the learning curve. Once they start to understand what the detector is trying to tell them, they are more likely to achieve some success.”

Metal detectors can cost anywhere from a couple hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. Other suggested tools include headphones so the detector’s beeping doesn’t bother the other people around, a small light-duty shovel like the ones used for gardening and a pouch to keep trash in.

(It’s good detecting etiquette to pick up litter.) Then, there are additional accessories, such as a pinpointer, a foot-long electronic stick that a detectorist can wave over the general area that metal was detected and

pinpoint the object’s exact location.

The GSTHC offers training for its members in how to use metal detectors and related accessories, and it hosts monthly detecting field trips to locations all over the state.

“A club can accelerate the learning curve on how to detect, provide guidance as to the ethical practices of metal detecting, and provide a gathering point to share experiences,” said Tom Bunce, GSTHC member and author of the metal detecting book Finders: Secrets of Success. “Clubs provide ... members a social setting, recognition for success, equipment guidance and training and often provide places to detect that an individual cannot readily [access].”

Different types of locations cater to detectorists’ interests. Someone looking for relics like old coins, buttons and shoe buckles would need to visit a property with historical activity. Someone looking for

GO METAL DETECTING Clubs The Granite State Treasure Hunters Club for Historic Preservation is a metal detecting club focused on promoting the hobby through safe and responsible practices. It holds club meetings on the third Sunday of every month and metal detecting field trips on the third Sunday between April and October.

Membership allows members to participate in all club meetings and events and to receive the club newsletter, Diggers Digest. For more information about the club and to apply for membership, visit gsthc.org.

Professional Treasure Hunters Historical Society is a metal detecting club connected with the metal detecting hobby store Streeter’s Treasure Hunting Supply, at 307 Main St. in Marlborough. It hosts events and publishes the Treasure Hunters Gazette newspaper for the New Hampshire metal detecting community. For more, visit streeter.org.

Events GSTHC Octoberfest 2017 Howard Johnson Memorial Hunt This metal detecting event takes place on Sunday, Oct. 15, at Webster Park in Epsom, and includes a warm-up hunt, a silver/token hunt, lunch, raffle drawings and other activities. The entry fee for non-members is $80.

Registration forms can be found on the GSTHC website and must be postmarked by Sept. 15.

BONE Treasure Hunters Week in New Hampshire PTHHS hosts this annual weeklong event every April. It’s the largest metal detecting meet-up in New Hampshire and includes various hunts, contests, workshops, a hobby show and other activities. Details about the 2018 event are TBA.

jewelry and modern objects might have some luck at the beach.

“The beach is a great starting point,” Warren said. “People lose jewelry and stuff all the time when they’re putting on suntan lotion or going in the water, so it’s not going to be all bottle caps. You’re always going to find something interesting.”

One of the coolest things about metal detecting, Warren said, is that there is always potential to find something, even in areas that have been “hunted out” by other detectorists.

“There are always areas that are missed and items that are unfound,” he said.

“Sometimes you have to be within an inch of a spot for the detector to pick something up, so unless you actually sifted through all of the soil or sand, it’s virtually impossible to find absolutely everything. Whenever you do find something, you’re pretty lucky.”

What appeals to Warren and to many GSTHC members the most about metal detecting, Warren said, is the history behind the objects they find and the properties where they find them. Typically, if the club gets permission to detect at a historic property, the members will present their

findings to the property owner “as a sign of good will, and to preserve the history those items reflect,” Warren said.

As a result of metal detecting, Warren has developed a wealth of knowledge about local history and occasionally does presentations at schools and libraries about colonial history and early settlements in New Hampshire.

“For me, it’s about being able to bring history back to life and sharing it with other people,” he said. “I love to assemble collections of early colonial American military buttons or early American coinage and show them to kids who would otherwise never get to see it and people who have never thought about what went on in their town 200 or 300 years ago.”

For Bunce, the best part of metal detecting is finding items of sentimental value and returning them to their owners.

“The most satisfying find … is a class ring or wedding ring. I have been fortunate to have returned a number of these items to tear-filled recipients,” he said.

“That is often the most rewarding aspect of the hobby as these finds mean so much to the original owner and the detectorist who found and returned them.”

Get a clue

Explore and solve puzzles with geocaching The art of treasure hunting is alive and well and techenabled with geocaching, an ongoing hide-and-seek game in which participants plant containers, or “caches,” in secret locations for others to find using GPS coordinates. There are millions of caches set up throughout the world and more than 11,000 logged in New Hampshire.

“Say you go to Olive Garden for dinner and there’s a 30-minute wait. Chances are, there’s a geocache around there that you can find before your table is ready,” said Calador Cala, a geocacher and owner of the Gone Cachin’ mobile geocaching store based in Nashua.

Each cache has its own page on the official geocaching website with the cache’s coordinates and other clues about how to find it. They typically contain a physical logbook inside as well as a logbook online that geocachers can sign and date to prove they have been there. Larger caches may have larger logbooks with information or stories about the cache and space for geocachers to write about their experiences finding the cache, as well as small toys or trinkets for geocachers to take, so long as they leave another one in its place. Another common item found in geocaches is a trackable or “travel bug,” a small tag with a code and its own page on the geocaching website which cachers take and drop off at

another cache.

“You can vicariously travel through them to different cities or states or countries,” Cala said. “I actually have one that has gone through most of Germany and other countries in that area. It’s traveled over 40,000 miles. Other people’s have gone even further than that.”

The caches themselves may be any kind of waterproof container, such as an ammo can or Tupperware container, and they vary in size. Some cachers build complex caches with miniature scenes and fun stories attached to them. Master cache builder Michael Noetzel of Nashua has built about three dozen caches, including caches with magnetic and electronic features like solar powered lights. His first cache, which he built in 2008, can be found on his porch (cachers have permission to go on his property) and remains one of the most popular caches in New Hampshire. The scene has three pirates trying to get into a treasure room, guarded by a watch-parrot, so they can steal the gold and place them in caches throughout the area. Caches have to solve a puzzle and help the pirates open the treasure room door in order to complete the cache.

“Everyone wants something entertaining and different, but most caches aren’t very memorable unless they’re at a really cool location,” Noetzel said. “So I wanted to do something that was out of the ordinary and something that no one had ever seen.” 16

15 Noetzel’s first cache is an example of a mystery or puzzle cache, a type of cache for which the geocacher needs to solve a puzzle in order to get the GPS coordinates, or a puzzle to open the cache itself.

There are many other types of caches, such as a multi-cache, a cache with multiple locations, each containing a clue about how to get to the next cache, eventually leading to the main cache with the logbook inside; and an Earth cache, which is hidden at a location of geological significance and requires the cacher to learn about the area and answer questions about it before logging it.

Caches can be placed in rural or urban settings. Anyone can create and place a cache provided that it passes the review process, which ensures that it’s to be located somewhere that’s safe to get to and unintrusive to the general public.

Each cache has a difficulty rating for how challenging it is to find, depending on the size of the cache, its level of concealment and the kind of terrain the cacher needs to cross to get to it. Easy ones may be hidden at very accessible locations, such as a park, a park-and-ride or a highway rest stop. For the hard ones, Cala said, cache planters get really creative.

“I’ve literally had to pull out a tree branch from a tree and the cache was hidden inside the hollowed out branch,” Cala said.

“One was built into a pine cone and hung on a tree with a million other pine cones,” Noetzel added. “It took forever to sit there and try to find the one pine cone that was different from the others. ” Many geocachers work toward personal milestones, which may be reaching a certain number of caches found or a number of states or countries where caches have been found. They may celebrate those milestones by finding an extra special cache: To celebrate Noetzel’s 5,000th cache, Noetzel and Cala traveled to a rainforest in Brazil to find a cache called Project Ape, which was placed by the production company of the film Planet of the Apes. Noetzel is now working toward his 6,000 mark, and Cala is trying to find caches in all 50 states. He’s

gotten 30 so far.

While geocaching could include traveling, it doesn’t have to, Cala said. In fact, many people pick up geocaching as a way to explore new places within their own area.

“Before [geocaching], I knew of three parks in Nashua,” Cala said. “Once I started geocaching, I learned that there are 43 parks in Nashua, because it takes you to so many places that you didn’t even know about in your local community.”

“People put them at historical points of interest, at a hidden waterfall, on top of a mountain, all these beautiful places that you didn’t know existed or that you would have never gone to on your own,” Noetzel said.

While the geocaching community engages mostly online, there are sometimes events where cachers can meet others in person to talk about their adventures and beginners can get help and advice from experienced cachers. An event may even be considered a cache itself, with GPS coordinates being the only way that cachers can learn its location.

“At first I didn’t know anyone in the community, but people would see my name in log books and online, so when I started going to events, people welcomed me personally because they could put a face to the name,” Noetzel said. “Then I started to form real friendships, and I enjoy [other cachers’] company as much as the caches themselves.”

Cala, who engages with geocachers on an almost daily basis at his geocaching store, said the hobby “has completely changed my life” since he took it up in 2011.

“I’m getting out more socially. I’m getting more physically fit and exploring new places,” he said. “I didn’t expect it to take over so much of my life in so many positive ways.”

ARTS More than superheroes Exhibition highlights the art of comics

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

A new art exhibition by New Hampshire Institute of Art is showing that there are more to comics than superheroes and the Sunday funnies. “Possibilities: Comic Arts is Not a Genre,” open now through Oct. 21 with an opening reception on Friday, Sept. 1, is a collection of more than 100 pages of comics in a wide range of styles, from action and science fiction to memoir and history.

“Comic arts is not a genre, but a bigger, broader medium,” said Joel Gill, local comic artist and curator of the exhibition. “You wouldn’t say that crime novels are the only kind of book there is, so you can’t say that all comics are about super heroes. We’re trying to show people that there are all these different possibilities within the medium of comics.”

The collection contains comics from the 1920s through today, created by nationally renowned comic artists like Will Eisner, Allison Bechdel, Nate Powell, Alec Longstreth and Jack Kamen; as well as some local artists, including “Possibilities: Comic Arts is Not a Genre” Where: NHIA’s Roger Williams Gallery, 77 Amherst St., Manchester When: Open now through Oct. 21, with an opening reception on Friday, Sept. 1, from 5 to 7 p.m.; gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

bit of a range, from history to fantasy to science fiction to just-for-laughs.”

The comics in the exhibition are all original works, done in various mediums including pen and ink, charcoal, watercolor and even crayon. Many of them have visible marks where the artist tested out his or her brushes and ink pens, and some even show pieces of the original sketches done in blue pencil before they were traced over in ink.

“I love to see the actual piece of paper the artist drew on,” Mazur said. “You can see what they actually did with their pens and brushes in order to get that comic into your newspaper. There’s something very magical about that.”

While comics have been gaining more recognition in the fine arts world in recent years, Mazur said, exhibits like the one at “Possibilities: Comic Arts is Not a Genre” exhibition at NHIA. Courtesy photo.

Everyone has a story — that’s the driving theme of True Tales Live, a television program aired monthly on Portsmouth Public Media TV that gives people a chance to share stories about their own personal experiences.

On Sundays, Sept. 3 and Oct. 1, the program will host its twice-yearly live show, True Tales Live Onstage, at West End Studio Theatre in Portsmouth, featuring six storytellers who will tell 10-minute stories revolving around this year’s theme, “Challenges and Discoveries.”

“These are people’s personal stories, real things that took place in their lives and made a difference to them,” stage coach and production assistant David Phreaner said. “The stories may involve a journey of some kind — a physical, emotional or psychological journey — or a time when [the storytellers] were growing into new aspects of themselves.”

True Tales Live started as a radio show on Portsmouth Community Radio in 2014 and transitioned into a television program on PPMTV in 2016. The 12 storytellers performing in the two onstage shows were selected out of more than 150 storytellers who have been featured on the program since its inception.

“It’s a selective process,” Phreaner said.

“These stories aren’t just an essay or a philosophical piece or a sermon or an op-ed. There has to be some kind of engagement. It has to connect with people.”

Stories at the Sept. 3 show will include “Meeting People,” a German woman’s experience meeting people for the first time in a new country, told by Annette Slattery; “A Minute to Spare,” a man’s experience fighting through a series of mishaps to get to a job interview, told by John Rocheleau; “Beast,” a woman’s experience with sexual abuse, told

by April Purinton; “The Doll Who Sat Beside Me,” a woman’s experience going to school in the 1950s as the only African-American student in her class, told by Sharon Jones; and “Good Fortune,” a woman’s experience with unexpected family connections, told by Judith Rubenstein.

The show’s producer, John Lovering, will

also tell his own story, “The Lip,” about a humorous incident that occurred with his older teenage sister while he was growing up in the 1950s.

“She was madly in love with Elvis Presley … and she had a record album with Elvis’ picture that I was enthralled with,” he said.

“It had a price tag which covered his lower lip, and I ripped the tag off, but part of his lip came off with it. So I tried to color it in with crayon, and there was this big battle. … It’s a funny story.”

Storytellers are encouraged to approach their stories as a theatrical performance and use animated gestures and facial expressions.

They may even bring simple props to accompany their stories. Lovering, for example, will show the audience the real Elvis album referenced in his story.

“There’s a visual aspect. Watching them tell the story is part of the story,” Lovering said. “They aren’t just standing there with their hands at their sides. They tell the story with their body as well as their voice.”

Although the True Tales Live television program is recorded in front of a live studio audience, Lovering said the show at the theater has a different vibe. “[With the TV show,] you’ve got the cameras, the microphones, five or six people in the control room, and it can be very distracting. People [in the audience] are more worried about making noise,” he said. “In the theater, you see people responding. They cry, they laugh, they cry from laughing so hard.

You hear people gasp and go, ‘Oh!’ That doesn’t happen in the TV studio.”

True Tales Live Onstage typically sells out, so buy tickets early, Phreaner and Lovering advise. Studio audiences are welcome at True Tales Live television recordings on the last Tuesday of the month from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the PPMTV studio (280 Marcy St., Portsmouth). Those interested in being a featured storyteller are invited to the free storytelling workshops offered at the studio on the first Tuesday of the month from 7:30 to 9 p.m.

Fifty-two years ago, a mysterious light allegedly floating through the woods near Exeter was documented by two local police officers.

The incident made the area legendary for folks who study the possibility that we are not alone in the universe.

The Exeter UFO Festival returns for its eighth year on Saturday, Sept. 2, and Sunday, Sept. 3. The Exeter area Kiwanis Club will be hosting talks from researchers and experts about the out-of-this-world phenomenon.

The Exeter incident is the catalyst for the festival, which draws “ufologists” from around the country, according to past Kiwanis President Bill Smith.

The alleged incident occurred on Sept. 3, 1965, when Norman Muscarello spotted a glowing elliptical orb hovering at eye level in the woods behind a barn in the neighboring town of Kensington. Muscarello alerted officers in Exeter, who returned to the site and saw the object themselves.

“It’s one of the better credible sightings because of the two police officers who are trained investigators and observers,” said Smith.

The orb moved quickly and sporadically for an hour, and one of the officers un-holstered his gun. Eventually, the orb left and the sighting became known by the UFO community the world over as “the Exeter Incident,” according to Smith.

“You have Roswell on the West Exeter UFO Festival Where: The Exeter Town Hall, 10 Front St., Exeter When: Saturday, Sept. 2, and Sunday, Sept. 3 Cost: Donations are encouraged Website: exeterufofestival.org

and the Exeter Incident on the East,” said Smith.

The festival celebrates the Exeter incident with talks from UFO researchers from around the country and tours of the original site.

The one-hour talks will take place at the Exeter Town Hall, and this year, a separate event on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Exeter Hampton Inn & Suites on Portsmouth Avenue will give people the chance to meet the speakers and learn about their work.

Speakers at the event include Richard Dolan, a ufologist and television personality; Peter Robbins; an investigative UFO writer, and Kathleen Marden, a UFO researcher and lecturer.

On Saturday, an old-fashioned trolley will take attendees from the Exeter Town Hall to the site of the incident in Kensington every half hour between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Smith will be giving the guided

informational tours so people can hear the story for themselves as they pass by the infamous woods.

Attendees of the trolley ride will get a map that will show the location of the original Exeter incident, as well as the locations of other notable sightings that occurred in the area. Smith said people can use the map to go on their own investigative adventures.

On Saturday and Sunday a mock UFO crash site will be staged behind town hall where kids can make arts and crafts projects out of the debris.

“What those kids can do with cardboard boxes and glue sticks — they are some creative kids,” said Smith.

The Kiwanis Club will have a hot dog and hamburger stand set up by the Exeter Band Stand at 10 Front St. on Saturday with UFO-themed hats, T-shirts and mugs. The UFO festival raises money for local

children’s charities, children’s programs and community programs.

Smith said northern New England is a favorable place for UFO sightings because it is far from any large cities that fill the sky with light.

“If there’s anything else flying around, you’re more likely to see it than down in Boston,” said Smith.

“Any rural area seems to have more sightings. A lot of people here in New England have seen things, you know, seen things in the sky.”

The festival draws people who are curious about the things they have seen or think they have seen, and the talks give them a chance to learn more about the community of people who research the topic, according to Smith.

Whether or not you believe in aliens, Smith said, you will learn something new.

“What I believe in is raising money for local charities,” he said.

August and September are critical months in the vegetable garden, and your tomatoes, corn and potatoes need adequate moisture to plump up and arrive at the dinner table in their best form. But often it is hot and dry at this time of year. You know what to do: water!

Different types of soil affect the moisture levels in your garden. Moisten your soil and rub some between your thumb and first finger. If it feels sticky, it’s a clay-based soil, and should hold water for days after a good rain.

But it also gets compacted if you walk on it, and may shed water after a downpour, especially on a hill. A sandy soil, one that feels gritty when you rub it between your fingers, will be dry after 3 days of sunshine (or less).

Water will percolate right through it.

What we all want for soil is a dark-colored loam that has both sand and clay and lots of organic matter. You can improve any soil by adding compost each year, starting this fall after you clean up the garden. Buy a truckload of compost and work it into the soil.

Where to get bulk compost? Many garden centers sell it by the scoop and will load it into a pick-up truck. Some farmers do a great job of “hot composting” dairy barn material. They use a front-end loader to turn and aerate the manure and bedding, so that it breaks down and heats up, killing weed and grass seeds.

Fresh manure would be great for improving your soil, but most manures contain lots of seeds you don’t want. Aged manure — aged for 3 years or so — is better. And some landscapers will sell and deliver compost by the scoop, too. Llama, goat and bunny manure has fewer seeds than cow manure; horse manure is often the worst. Chicken manure generally has no seeds, but it has so much nitrogen that it can burn crops unless it is mixed with leaves or brown matter and composted first.

But back to watering. You can water with a watering can, but that’s a lot of work. You need a hose. There are a number of considerations to make when buying hoses. The bigger the diameter of the hose, the more it weighs, but the more water the hose can deliver per minute. I like a 5/8-inch hose. Half-inch hoses don’t really take much longer as most pipes delivering water to them are half-inch pipes, too.

Better hoses (more expensive hoses) generally do a better job. Almost all will claim they don’t tangle or kink, but most do. If you buy a new hose it needs to be unspooled, filled with water, and left in the sun. That will help it to straighten out and lose any memory of being in a tight coil.

I recently was given samples of a new type

Watering Wand. Photo by Henry Homeyer.

of hose manufactured by Water Right. These are American-made polyurethane hoses as opposed to rubber hoses or plastic hoses. I like that they are food-grade polyurethane, since I’m an organic gardener and I don’t want chemicals leaching into my hose while it sits full, but out of use for days at a time. I like the fact that it is much lighter than rubber hoses, and that it is kink-resistant. And I admit that this is silly, but I like the color options. I have a purple hose! It’s available at stores, or from Gardener’s Supply. They call them their Featherweight Slim Hoses.

So what to do if you are leaving for a week at the beach? Get a timer. These really work. I use one made by Gilmour, and find it easy to program and use. Once programmed you can have it water on a schedule you like. You can use them with a sprinkler or a soaker hose.

I don’t like overhead sprinklers very much.

They do get water into the garden, but they waste water on walkways and water the weeds, not just the plants. So I prefer hand watering. I use a watering wand that allows me to direct a gentle flow of water at the base of a plant. Mine comes with a rose, or diffuser, on the end of an aluminum 30-inch handle with a shut-off for my thumb. I use ones made

by Dramm. Cheaper versions are available, but for a gentle shower with lots of water, Dramm is the best, in my opinion.

If you are going away, you might want to consider soaker hoses. In the past I’ve gotten black hoses that slowly ooze water. I found a need to pin them down with landscape staples, as they didn’t want to stay in place. I recently got a new one, also from Water Right Inc. This is a polyurethane hose that lays flat and I didn’t find a need to pin down.

My new soaker hose will actually spray water about 6 inches if the hose is on to full pressure. So it delivers more water, faster than traditional soaker hoses. And it claims the pores won’t get clogged, the way traditional soaker hoses sometimes do. I’ve only used it a little, but so far it seems great.

Lastly, you can conserve water and keep soils dry by mulching. Mulch shades soil from the hot sun and reduces evaporation.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear readers, Here’s a follow-up on a thrift shop find!

Wow — that’s all I have to say to the readers writing in with, I assume, the correct use for this item. There were 58 readers who emailed me to tell me this is a Pampered Chef cookie dough cutter. It’s about 40 years old and most people say they are still using it or have it in their kitchen.

How it works is: You scoop up the cookie dough on the blade and then squeeze the sides and it releases the dough onto the pan.

Not in a million years would I have figured that out. But you are all right. What a great tool to have. And it seems to pass the test of time as well.

As far as the value on such a piece, it’s still tough because I really couldn’t find one to draw an appraisal comparison to. It’s not an antique but is very useful, so I say it’s still priceless.

I want to thank everyone who took the

September 8th, 9th, 10th

Having a stable job is key for two reasons. If you were lending someone $250,000 would you want that person to have a track record of earning income? Of course! And your lender is no different. A two year history with the same employer demonstrates that. Secondly, you want to be confident you can make the mortgage payment.

Think about where your life is headed in the next five to ten years. Where you will be working, how many people will be living in your home? Between transaction costs and the joys of moving, buying or selling a home is more costly than moving between rentals.

New Hampshire Real Estate NEW LISTING!

Looking to buy or sell? it’s a perfect time Quality. Expertise. Local

If you are struggling to pay your bills month to month, now is not a good time to buy a home. Most renters buy a home to upgrade their living space and location. Between a higher payment, utilities, maintenance, and redoing the master bathroom, the costs of home ownership are typically higher than the costs of renting. Figure out how you are going to handle these increased costs before buying.

One in five consumers has an error on their credit report. Make sure you are not one of them. Check the accuracy of your credit reports at www.AnnualCreditReport.com . Remember, lenders are looking for a track record of making on-time payments and responsibly managing your account balances.

Make “practice” mortgage payments by saving the difference between what you are currently paying for rent and what you plan to pay for your mortgage.

This way you can prove to yourself that this new home is within your means and avoid “payment shock” after buying.

Taking a home buyer workshop, like those offered by HOMEteam, AHEAD, and The Housing Partnership, puts you ahead of your competition in today’s fast paced marketplace. You’ll gain a greater idea of what to expect at each step in the process and be more confident with your decision making.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Alarming noises while driving in snow likely have a simple explanation Dear Car Talk: I have an ‘07 Chevy Tahoe. I had an ‘02 prior to this, and it was indestructible. The ‘07 has an issue no one can figure out. When I drive it in the snow, it bucks

By Ray Magliozzi and bangs and sounds like a piston is going to come up through the hood! This does not happen in rain or nice weather. What the heck? — Courtney I think what you’re experiencing is the traction control working. The traction-control system is tied into the truck’s antilock braking system (ABS). When the computer senses that a wheel is slipping (like wheels often do in snow and ice), the computer uses the ABS to apply the brake on that one slipping wheel, many times per second. The idea is to keep the wheel from spinning, at which point it loses its grip on the road and allows the vehicle to skid.

Anyway, ABS can be pretty noisy. It can sound a lot like bucking, chattering and banging, and maybe even like a piston is going to come through the hood (that’s probably the ABS pump you hear). You’ll also feel the chattering in the brake pedal and steering wheel.

Now, if this is a constant noise, and the traction control is continuously operating while you drive, there may be something wrong with it. You could have one or more bad sensors. But normally that will turn on the ABS warning light. So I’m guessing it’s operating normally, and kicking in only when one of your wheels starts to spin.

Here’s how you test it: Pull out your owner’s manual. That’s that thing gathering dust in the back of your glove compartment, behind the gas receipts and the empty packs of Dentyne. Look up “Traction Control” in the index, and find out where the “Traction Control Off” button is on your Tahoe. Then, next time you experience this effect, turn off the traction control.

If the noises stop during acceleration and you slide toward the guard rail, you’ll know it was the traction control working. Note that even when you turn off the traction control, the ABS still will operate if a wheel skids when you’re stopping.

If you believe the noises really are continuous while you’re driving in snow, rather than intermittent, then next time it snows or sleets, stop by the Chevy dealer and ask a service guy to take a ride with you. My guess is that he’ll tell you that what you’re hearing is the traction-control system doing its job.

Dear Car Talk: My wife has a 2007 Solara. This is her second one. I have had the same problem with both of them. Frequently, one — sometimes the left, other times the right and occasionally both — of the low beams will go out. If I just move the headlight switch from Auto to either Off or On and then back to Auto, the problem is fixed for a while. The dealer can find nothing wrong. I’ve replaced the bulbs, and so did the dealer. But nothing has fixed the problem. Do you have any ideas? — Ken There are two possibilities, Ken. If your Solara has HID (high-intensity discharge, sometimes called Xenon) headlights, it could very well be bad bulbs. Priuses, Camrys and Solaras had lots of problems with their HID bulbs failing prematurely. Unlike halogen bulbs, HID bulbs can fail intermittently. So your bulbs may just be failing sooner than they’re supposed to. If you do have halogen bulbs, then I’d guess that you have a bad multifunction switch, since fiddling with the switch seems to fix it.

If both of your headlights were always failing simultaneously, I might suspect the daylight sensor, but since that sensor merely turns the switch on and off, it would affect both headlights, not just the right or left.

If you have halogen bulbs, I doubt it’s

the bulbs themselves. Standard bulbs pretty much either work, or they don’t. So if you can get a bulb that’s dead to come back to life and then stay on by monkeying with the switch, the bulb is unlikely to be the problem.

The multifunction switch could fail intermittently, like you describe. If it happens to be working fine the day you take it to the dealership, they would find nothing wrong.

Of course, the best thing to do would be to get your car to the shop when the lights are misbehaving. Then a mechanic can check and see if there’s current reaching the bulb sockets. If there’s no current getting to the bulbs, then you’d strongly suspect the switch.

But as we know, headlights usually fail when? At night! When the dealership is closed. So you may have to take your best guess.

Ask the parts department how often they have to replace multifunction switches on Toyotas. If their answer is anything other than “never,” ask them to try one for you. And if it doesn’t fix the problem, maybe they’ll be nice enough to take the part back and charge you just for labor. Then you can buy one of those 250-watt halogen work lights at Home Depot, plug it into the cigarette lighter and prop it up on your dashboard.

uates called “Hotdoggers.”

Moe Nault, who works with Fournier during the event and is a former car show committee member, has his own collection of cars, including 1935 and 1938 Chevys.

“My whole life has been cars and guitars,” said Nault.

Nault said the memories he has from these shows are just as valuable as the classic motors. One of his fondest memories was the year that founder of the show, Chuck Gordon, who had recently died, was honored with his 1957 Chevy Nomad parked on the City Hall lawn.

“That was pretty special,” said Nault.

There was also the year that actor Paul Le Mat from the cult classic film American Graffiti visited several years ago. Le Mat played the king of the boulevard with his yellow coupe in the film. Nault said they posed for photos on the hood of the same style yellow car that happened to be at the show.

For people not interested in cars, Nault said, there is still something for everyone.

“The show has so much variety and the fact that you are shutting down the main street in the most heavily populated city in the area is pretty cool,” said Nault.

There will be live performances throughout the day on two stages at both ends of Elm Street, and food vendors will line the streets ready to fill the hungry crowds. The Watts Up Band will play from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday at Veterans Park. On the center stage at 100 Elm St., Permanent Vacation will play from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and Speed Trap will play from noon to 3 p.m.

Nault said the fire department will do a jaws of life demonstration that is popular with kids. Using a junker car, the fire department will show how their life-saving giant scissors can cut through steel during an emergency after a car crash.

The president of the Rotary Club, Thom Lavoie, said donations and proceeds will go to nonprofit organizations that help underprivileged kids go to camp.

“There shouldn’t be a kid in Manchester that can’t go to one of these not-for-profit camps,” said Lavoie.

We know that our customers are our greatest asset and we would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to you for your dedication and loyalty to Goffstown Hardware.

Sections of Elm Street in Manchester will be shut down to make room for a display of about 1,000 specialty cars, including original antiques, fully restored vehicles and, for the first time, a Wienermobile.

The 17th annual Cruising Downtown Car Festival is being held on Saturday, Sept. 2, on Elm Street. Hosted by the Manchester Rotary Club, the all-day event will feature food and entertainment and, of course, all kinds of cars.

Ron Fournier, a senior organizer of the event and owner of Ron’s Toys, is the only member of the original team that created the event 18 years ago who is still involved.

Fournier said the car show started when a group of his friends met for breakfast to organize a night ride. The night ride quickly evolved into a car show that now has competitions and prizes.

Since its inception in 1999, the car show has missed only one year while it was in transition from its own committee to the Rotary Club that organizes the event today. Fournier said the show has grown in size every year, and it features a huge range of car styles.

“You name it, it’s probably going to be there,” said Fournier.

Car enthusiasts with specialty cars come from across the country and Canada, and there will be trophies and plaques for the first 200 cars to register.

Original cars, fully restored cars, cars with art decals, antiques and low riders will be on display. Fournier said rat rod style cars, which embrace an intentionally rusted look, have piqued his interest lately.

The cars’ owners will be with their cars to talk to visitors. Fournier said that if the weather is nice, he is expecting more than 1,000 cars and more than 30,000 people to show up and fill Elm Street, from Bridge Street down to Lake Avenue.

“We fill up all the side streets. There were just under 1,000 cars last year,” said Fournier.

New this year is the Wienermobile from Oscar Mayer hot dogs. The Wienermobile is 60 hot dogs long and 24 hot dogs high, according to the vehicle’s website. The Wienermobile visiting Manchester is one of six in the country, all piloted by recent college grad-

FOOD All-natural ales

Long Blue Cat Brewing Co. preps for opening

By Matt Ingersoll

News from the local food scene

mingersoll@hippopress.com

By Matt Ingersoll

Childhood friends Jason Knight and Shane Sorenson grew up building everything from two-story forts to BMX bikes and go-karts together. Years later, they’ve teamed up again to build their biggest project yet — a craft nanobrewery and restaurant.

The Long Blue Cat Brewing Co., set to open on Rockingham Road in Londonderry in September, is starting off with eight craft beers on tap that will include natural ingredients sourced from local farms, apiaries and other businesses. Some brews, like the spring blossom and fall blossom honey ales, will be new options to the area, Knight said. The honey used to make the beers comes straight from London Buzz Bees in Hampstead.

“We’ll use an unbelievable amount of honey … to actually get the sugars that then transfer into alcohol. So it’s a honey base, not just a honey flavor,” Sorenson said. “Other [breweries] might just flavor it at the end with a little bit of honey or extract. But we don’t use any kind of artificial adjunct flavoring at all.”

Other craft brews include a chocolate oatmeal stout, a porter, a German-style kolsch, and a Mexican-style lager fermented with pure agave nectar. Sorenson said

• Local food and brews: Join Robie’s Country Store (9 Riverside St., Hooksett) for a farm-to-table beer pairing dinner on Thursday, Aug. 31, from 6 to 8 p.m. The fourcourse dinner will include fresh food like grilled salmon, smoked ribs and harvested vegetables, paired with four different brews from Swift Current Brewing Co. in Manchester. Tickets are $45. Visit rootsatrobies.com or call 485-7761.

• Pig out: There are two pig roasts coming up this weekend. The Souhegan Valley Food Co-Op will be holding an old-fashioned pig roast on Saturday, Sept. 2, from 5 to 9 p.m. at the “Red House” Old Wilton Center (595 Isaac Frye Highway), featuring chef Chano Mandones. In addition to seasoning the pig with a Cuban-style mojo sauce and cooking it over a fire, Mandones will be preparing smoked pork butts flavored with apple to give them a sweet taste.

Three kinds of chicken wings that include cajun and garlic sriracha will also be available. To go with the main courses, Food Co-Op members will be preparing homemade side dishes like cornbread muffins, coleslaw, green salad and peach crisp, all of which will be sourced from local farms.

Live music by Will Kindler will be featured during the roast. Tickets are $30 for adults, $50 for couples and $10 for kids and teens.

The annual multi-church community pig roast is being held at Danville Baptist Church (226 Main St.) on Saturday, Sept. 2, from 1 to 4 p.m. The event is co-hosted by Cornerstone Church in 40 Looking for more food and drink fun?

a maple brown ale made with all natural maple syrup from Vermont is in the works for the upcoming autumn season.

Sorenson, who brings years of experience as a chef at resorts and brew pubs, is assembling a rotating menu of various appetizer items, flatbread sandwiches, paninis and more. Some limited specialty items may be integrated as well, depending on the product inventory at the time.

“We’ll have like a chicken and cheese sandwich with roasted red peppers,” Knight said. “We might do brisket sandwiches for a short time, as well. A lot of it will depend on what products we get from our sources, and the grain that we’re using to make our beer is also making our food. So for example, the grain we’re giving to our farms is building those pigs up, and when they are butchered, we’re going to be getting some of that meat back [to cook with].”

The new brewery will feature 68-capacity seating that includes a full bar area as well as both seating and high-top standing tables that came from the old Rockingham

Park racetrack in Salem.

“Instead of just coming in and being able to have a small area with some tasters, it will be a place where you can actually have a pint, and you can also get some food,” Knight said.

To the far right of the main room as you enter will be a small merchandise stand where items bearing Long Blue Cat’s logo will be available for purchase.

According to Knight, the two-story building housing the brewery was once home to a chiropractor’s office on the first floor and a yoga studio on the second floor, but for the past few years had been a vacant space.

“We signed the lease last October … and we’ve been here ever since, working sometimes 14- or 15-hour days for months to get to this point,” he said. “The owners of the property had to do quite a few things to get it rentable and up to code.”

Knight said the nanobrewery’s name came from a drawing of a long blue cat

by Sorenson’s then-5-year-old daughter.

Sorenson’s cousin redrew the image now used as the official logo.

“Before we even knew we were going to open a brewery, we used to just brew over at Shane’s house, and his daughter used to draw these pictures of a long blue cat all the time,” he said. “We just decided that was what we were going to call the place.”

Several local restaurants and stores have already reached out to Long Blue Cat, Knight said, expressing interest in carrying their beers once the brewery is officially up and running.

The brewery joins an already growing community of craft brewing in the Granite State, located within a few miles of other local spots like Pipe Dream Brewing, also in Londonderry, and the Backyard Brewery & Kitchen, just over the town line in Manchester. But Knight said he and Sorenson see their neighbors as allies in the 42

Bonfire Restaurant & Country Bar and Torched Pizza

728 River Road • New Boston, NH 603.497.5788 grasshoppersgardencenter.com

Old John Deere tractor seats and tire swings have been reimagined as dining chairs at the new Bonfire Restaurant & Country Bar on Elm Street in Manchester, where dreams like Bacon Happier Hour and free burgers for a year will come true.

The first 100 people to visit Bonfire during its soft opening on Friday, Sept. 1, at 4 p.m. will win free burgers for a year. And for everyone else, the restaurant promises plenty of reasons to stop by after it officially opens its doors on Friday, Sept. 15 — including the daily Bacon Happier Hour, when you can get free buckets of bacon between 4 and 7 p.m. with the purchase of one of three specials: a beef or chicken taco and a shot of Bonfire whiskey for $1, a serving of french fries and a Beer of the Month beer for $2, or a burger and a glass of your choice of wine for $3.

A sister restaurant next door called Torched Pizza will open its doors at the same time, offering quick service similar to Subway or Chipotle Mexican Grill, but with pizzas prepared with your choice of toppings and oven-cooked in 90 seconds.

For Bonfire and Torched founder and owner Tanner Herget, it’s all about bringing a new fun and entertaining atmosphere to the downtown area, but a welcoming one to patrons of all demographics.

“We welcome everybody, from the nightlife crowd to people who have to get up early for work the next day,” Herget, who also owns the Bonfire Country Bar and The Drink Exchange, both in Portland, Maine, said. “It’s all about having some fun and going with the flow.”

Herget said a number of new menu items are being added to Bonfire’s Manchester location not available in Portland, like homemade loaded tater tots, slider burgers, noodle salads and flatbreads.

“We’re really appetizer-heavy, just because it’s shareable food,” he said. “Our burgers are huge, too.”

The loaded tater tots are topped with cheese, bacon, sour cream and scallions, with an option to add jalapenos. Also on the menu are steak and cheese or pulled chicken bacon ranch sliders, homemade nachos with

pulled steak, chicken or vegetables, chicken fingers and hand-cut fries.

The bar will carry 24 options on tap, including two housemade brews.

Much of the indoor seating in Bonfire has been converted from John Deere tractor seats, tire swings suspended from the ceiling, and even a few chairlifts donated directly from Pats Peak, according to Herget.

Near the back of the restaurant, Herget said, there will be a stage for live country music acts every Friday and Saturday night.

In fact, platinum-selling country singersongwriter Frankie Ballard, known for his hits “Sunshine & Whiskey” and “Helluva Life,” is booked to play at Bonfire during its Sept. 15 grand opening.

Downstairs, a public game room will have a variety of games like giant Connect Four, giant Jenga, two indoor cornhole games, chess checkers, a classic Nintendo system and more.

Herget said you do not have to be a fan of or even know anything about country music in order to have a good time.

“Here at Bonfire, it’s more about the atmosphere and the people and the enjoyment [than the music],” he said. “People have this stigma about country and what it is to them, [but] it’s enough of an accomplishment for me to see somebody who’s not a country fan go, ‘That was actually really fun, I wouldn’t mind going back there.’”

Over at Torched, flatbread pizza options are completely new, Herget said.

“This was where Bada Bing Pizza actually used to be,” he said. “You’ll start by ordering your choice of white, wheat or gluten-free dough … and then you choose your sauce, your cheese and your toppings before it gets popped into the 90-second-cook-time ovens. So it’s essentially the same technology as Subway, but instead of toasting a sandwich in 11 seconds, you’re cooking a pizza in 90.”

Experience the tastes, sights and sounds of Greece at the Dover Greek Heritage Festival happening Friday, Sept. 1, and Saturday, Sept. 2.

The festival, organized by members and volunteers of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church of Dover, has been a staple of the community for more than 20 years and is returning to the nearby Hellenic Center. “[The festival] for a while was mostly set up like a dinner, where you had to get everything together,” said co-chairwoman Casey Gemas. “Over time, however, the menu has expanded a lot to what it is today. We’ve separated everything so you can sample a lot of different things without having to get a full dinner.”

A la carte options are prepared by church members, volunteers and sometimes even their extended family members, according to Gemas. They include Greek loukanikos, or pork sausages, as well as homemade Greek meatballs, pork souvlaki, lamb shanks, a lemon chicken dinner, vegetarian stuffed peppers, a Greek baked pasta dish called pastitsio, spanakopita (spinach pie) and gyros.

“Just last year, we introduced Greek fries,” Gemas said. “They are homemade french fries with different kinds of Greek seasonings on them.”

For pastries, there’s the classic Greek baklava, as well as halva tou fourno honey

• Brewing pilsners: Join Incredibrew (112 Daniel Webster Highway, Nashua) for its summer pilsner brewing event on Saturday, Sept. 2, at 2:30 p.m. Participants will learn to brew two of Incredibrew’s most popular pilsners, the Wicked Czechy Pilsner and the Golden Eagle Pilsner, which is made with cascade hops. Tickets are $30 for returning brewers who bring their own

cake, koulourakia and finikia.

“Koulourakia is basically a type of shortbread cookie with sesame seeds, like a butter cookie, and it’s great with coffee,” Gemas said. “Finikia is also a cookie that’s usually made with walnut grounds on top of it. … We’re also going to have pastafrola, which is like a tart made with a jelly or fruit preserve. That will be available in assorted boxes.”

Gemas said nearly all of the food is made fresh the week of the festival. But if you’re looking to get something specific, she recommends getting there as early as you can before anything runs out.

“Food is cooked all day and the food line really runs all day as well, but the sooner you come the better, just to ensure that you get what you want,” she said.

Two cooking demonstrations are scheduled for Saturday, at 1 and 3 p.m., in which church members will show how tzatziki sauce and saganaki are made. Printed takehome recipes for each will be available.

“Saganaki is a type of fried Greek cheese,” Gemas said. “Tzatziki sauce is like a cucumber yogurt-based sauce that you can either put in a gyro or have as a dipping sauce with something like carrots.”

A full-range bar of refreshments will be available, including red and white wine, domestic and Greek imported beer and a licorice-tasting Greek liquor called ouzo, as well as bottled water and sodas.

Local vendors will be on hand, Gemas said, like Greenleaf Farms of Dover, Usborne Books & More and Lakonia Greek Products, among others. There will be live music from Salonica Boys on Friday and Kefi Sounds on Saturday.

“It’s turned into a big community event that we do just before the school year starts again,” Gemas said. “It’s a busy weekend in general with Labor Day, but we still get a great draw of about 3,000 people, and that’s really nice.”

Seth Simonian is the owner and founder of The Flight Center Beer Cafe (97 Main St., Nashua, 417-6184, flightcenterbc. com), which opened last December as a craft beer cafe and beer lounge carrying 48 rotating taps from breweries in the Granite State. The Flight Center also offers a rotating lunch menu with homemade recipes and a full menu of tapas, entrees, salads and desserts, all of which are either made with beer or paired with beer, according to Simonian. Beer-pairing dinners are held on the last Wednesday of every month.

Sun gold tomatoes It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

No, it’s not Christmas. I’m not even referring to “Back to School.” It’s peak sun gold tomato time, and we are in heaven! When we first planted this small, sweet variety of tomato, we only grew one plant. My oldest daughter, 2 at the time, barely let us eat any. We never actually brought any tomatoes inside the house because she would eat them right off the vine. Since then, we’ve learned a few things! We now grow several sun gold tomato plants so that we can actually bring some in the house to enjoy!

Sun gold tomatoes are small, round and orange. They are wonderfully sweet and each plant can be quite prolific. Watch for meandering branches that you may need to prop up to keep out of your soil.

In New Hampshire it’s best to buy plant starts for every variety of tomato. Tomatoes are much too sensitive to the cold and, unless you have the means to start them from seed (a greenhouse or something), I strongly suggest buying tiny tomato plants from a local farmer. My favorite thing about linking up with a local contact is that, when I see them weekly at our farmers market, I can ask questions or even show pictures of anything that is cause for concern. So much of what I’ve learned has come from asking questions of local farmers each week.

While most of our sun gold tomato consumption is done raw, I have managed to harvest enough for a quick sauce. This recipe is simple and easy — a perfect pasta recipe for warm weather.

— Allison Willson Dudas Add oil to pan or skillet at medium high heat. Toss in garlic and tomatoes, covering slightly and stirring a few times over the course of 10 minutes. Tomatoes will burst and release their juices. Add zest of lemon and mix for another minute. This is your sauce! Add it to prepared pasta and top with Parmesan.

I love summer, but it always goes by too quickly. Spring and summer mean white and fruit wines are being pulled out of the wine rack and put into the fridge to chill.

But as summer comes to an end and fall is up on deck, I start reaching for reds. I like to transition to lighter reds first and save the heavier-hitters for the really cold and Wemonths. have a private function space with a full bar snowy Pinot noir is one of my favorite reds for any time of the year, but especially when the seasons are changing because it is typi- Courtesy photo. cally complex without feeling heavy.

I won’t say this record heralds an entirely new genre, but the debut from this somewhat-supergroup definitely sets a high bar for unabashed-punk oimetal, at least for this generation. Led

by Faith No More’s Mike Patton and ex-Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo, this bunch really, really wants people to break stuff, leveraging a preaching-tothe-choir lyrical approach based around the Trump-hysteria noise, bolting Slayer sounds directly onto top-prime 1970s punk, and letting Lombardo jack the drums until they, too, want to break stuff. Patton wasn’t keen on doing this, so they say, but he fits right in, leaving the phony Cookie Monster vocal nonsense by the stoop and switching back and forth from several different “singing” methods, from Jello Biafra to Misfits to Tom Araya. Yes, this all adds up to your basic Exploited album, but Lombardo’s effort breaks the mold — just imagine all those years of laying down the percussion hammer for Slayer and then teaming that guy with Patton, whose genius is indisputable, on a 100-percent hardcore trip. Plus a cover of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead?” A no-brainer. A — Eric W. Saeger Kent Miller Quartet, Minor Step (Tnek Jazz Records)

This is the newest project from jazz upright bassist Miller, a 59-year-old who was a private student of Duke Ellington fixture Wendell Marshall, which led to a slot with the George Hudson Big Band. This is a great one if you’re in need of something that ups the ante from espresso-bar-chill, as Miller does keep a loose grip on the reins of his personnel, starting with drummer Greg Holloway’s enthusiastic but polite-enough solo in album opener “Work Out,” an appropriately titled hard-bop whiz-banger written by the underreported ’60s sax pro Hank Moberly. Miller proceeds to cut loose himself on the next track, a redo of Paul Chambers’ “Visitation,” and, again, it’s a show of skill rather a simple-minded interruption. The title track shows up after that, an original tune that keeps its knuckleball trapeze-act rhythm securely suspended mid-air through Darius Scott’s firm grip on the acoustic piano. Wes Montgomery’s busy “SOS” sounds like it must have been a nightmare to eke out in the studio, but it feels as effortless as anything else here. Miller’s leadership is terrific everywhere you drop the needle. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

• Let’s see, what off-key, unlistenable musical nightmares shall be unfurled this week, thrust upon thy poor ambivalent ears by … wait, look, a squirrel, it’s a new album from umlaut-metal band Motörhead, called Under Cover! This will be one of surely/ hopefully many albums that we’ll see from this punk-metal vanguard act, because even if Lemmy is no longer with us, their spirit will be, and so on. Fine, I never cared about this band, but my old bass player did, and whatever, I liked their style: Broke, moneybumming rock ’n’ roll dumpster-dwellers who didn’t care what anyone thought, that’s how all you kids should be, by freakin’ cracky. Let’s see the songlist for this cover album, then. Wow, the Pistols’ “God Save the Queen,” and holy crow, it’s a Judas Priest song, “Breakin’ the Law,” and whoa, a never-before-heard cover of “Heroes” by David Bowie. Lemmy rules, Vanilla Ice drools, never forget.

• Like you, I thought LCD Soundsystem was completely disbanded forever. I know, how stupid, right, like you and I both should have known that when the band did a farewell tour and were featured on the totally farewell documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits in 2011, it was secret code for “No, we’re not disbanding forever, how un-hip are you anyway?” So, naturally, their fourth album, American Dream, is due out Sept. 1, and it will have a single, the title track, an electro-chill affair with an 1980s feel, like Roxy Music but with a hipster weenie singing.

How very meh.

• Next we have Joan Osborne, whose grammatically childish single “One of Us” from the 1990s made her a one-hit wonder.

I think I told you about the time she was at the Woburn, Mass., Hyatt Regency playing a New Year’s Eve show, and there was awesome free food, but she couldn’t get away from us press weirdos fast enough. Anyway, she’ll be releasing a new LP, Songs of Bob Dylan, on Sept. 1, a record comprised of covers obviously, including “Highway 61,” which will be an overproduced rip of the keyboard-and-guitar version she did during a New York residency last year (which is pretty cool for what it is).

• Could have sworn I just talked about Mogwai a few weeks ago, but my computer is all like “No, you are senile, go get some peanut butter crackers and a glass of Moxie,” so apparently I didn’t. Maybe it was another band that’s totally awesome, I forget. Mogwai is, of course, awesome, and Robert Smith from The Cure says they’re the best band in the world, which means it’s true. Every Country’s Sun, the new album, will most likely be awesome, if you go by the leadoff instrumental tire-kicker “Coolverine,” a quirky but prog-rock-ish wetwork bit that sounds like Figurine if they weren’t worthless. Some subterranean, faraway, bass-heavy gloom-rawk toward the end, similar to God is an Astronaut if that makes any sense to you whatsoever.

Indie film shot in Manchester featured on Amazon Prime

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Slingshot-wielding cops and a villain with supernatural foot powers take over the streets of Manchester and other New Hampshire locations in a new indie film that was approved earlier this month for availability on Amazon Prime.

Produced by filmmaker Matt Farley of Motern Media, based in Danvers, Mass., Slingshot Cops is Farley’s first film on Amazon Prime, where Prime members can stream it for free and non-members can pay to rent or buy it.

How To Fall in Love With Anyone, by Mandy Len Catron (Simon & Schuster, 229 pages) A quarter century ago, a psychologist named Arthur Aron devised a list of 36 questions that was supposed to induce love between people who discussed them and then gazed into each other’s eyes for four minutes.

Virility didn’t exist out of bedrooms back then, and the questions didn’t go viral until 2015 when Mandy Len Catron published an essay in The New York Times detailing her experience with them. The essay had the ultimate clickbait title: “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This.”

At the time Catron wrote the essay, she was three months into a relationship with the man with whom she answered the questions. She smartly parlayed the article into a book that answers the question she’s most often asked now: Is she still with that man? Or, more to the point for the rest of us: Does Aron’s system work?

That’s a yes-or-no question, but some 200 pages stand between Catron’s essay and the answer, and to fill them Catron writes a series of connective essays that explore why everyone loves a love story, and why they fail us.

From “Cinderella” to Titanic to the howwe-met stories of couples we know, we look to love stories to help make sense of our own, Catron says. When they end badly, as in her parents’ divorce nine years ago, we are shattered because they deviate from the script.

“For so long I thought of romantic love as a virtue, a moral triumph, a reward for people who made good life choices,” Catron writes.

“But my parents’ divorce suggested that there were no guarantees in love, not even for the best and most devoted among us, or those of us with the perfect story.”

Catron, who grew up surrounded by the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, writes that her parents’ love story was the best one she knew for most of her life. But before we get to that tale, she introduces us to Kevin, the longtime boyfriend with whom she signed “a declaration of marriage” so they could emigrate to Vancouver in 2010.

Kevin is not the man with whom she answered the 36 questions; that guy shows up much later.

But Catron was clearly in love with Kevin, and he with her, and even now she rhapsodizes about him. (“I wondered then, as I still sometimes do, what else I have loved as much as I loved his skin, the way it wrapped up his muscles and bones, the softness between his shoulder blades where I placed my lips each night, as we drifted into sleep.”)

They’d met in college, when it didn’t seem to matter much that she wanted marriage and kids, and he didn’t really, but this became more of a problem as their 20s merrily rolled by.

Then they get married on paper so they can

move to Vancouver, and Kevin starts going cross-country skiing without Catron when she has a knee injury, which seems to be an even bigger problem than the marriage-and-kids issue. When it’s time to sign a new lease, she decides she can’t stomach another year of cohabiting, and they agree to split amicably in two months. They still hang out, even after they’ve moved into new places. She writes movingly of how, when they sit in a restaurant, their relationship seems like a dead star that is still visible from Earth.

So far, so great, especially since there’s still hope at this point that the couple might come to their senses, see the great thing they have going and come back together.

But then Catron abandons Kevin and moves on to her parents, the greatest love story she knows, and we learn that this great love story is actually one that, in this day and age, could land somebody in jail.

It is the love story, as promised, of a football coach and a cheerleader, but Catron’s mother-to-be was in high school, her father-to-be the newly hired coach, when they fell in love.

Theirs was a story that was “very American, very Appalachian,” Catron writes; it is also very illegal these days, and Catron paints it in pastels, not the shades of grey and black the story demands. At least they didn’t marry until the cheerleader graduated from high school.

As she tries to make sense of her parents’ marriage and divorce, Catron does eventually concede that it wasn’t exactly a Hallmark romance, nor was that of her grandparents, who wed when her grandmother was 15 and the grandfather “more than twice that.”

In other words, this is not “Love, American Style” like the TV show of the 1970s, but “Love, Appalachian Style,” which can be significantly disconcerting, and which at times threatens to establish Catron as an unreliable narrator. Why, exactly, should we trust the observations of someone who cast aside the adorable Kevin, and who finds the marriage of a 15-year-old romantic?

We ultimately trust Catron because she’s smart, honest and oftentimes wise, and like the 36 questions, she confers intimacy by sharing her family’s love stories, at least the parts of them that she is able. There are always two breakups, she says: the public and the private. “Both are real, but one is sensible and the other is ugly. Too ugly to share in cafes. Too ugly, I sometimes think, to even write.”

How To Fall in Love With Anyone is as much about breaking up as it is about falling in love, maybe more so. It’s not the book the title promises, but one that’s more thoughtful and mature.

But it doesn’t end well for those of us on Team Kevin, and a last-minute segue into same-sex relationships seems a bit contrived, as if tacked on in the final round of editing. Nor will it tell you how to fall in love with anyone — just how Catron did. B — Jennifer Graham

lions killing livestock on the Wind River Indian Reservation, Corey Lambert (Jeremy Renner) finds the body of Natalie (Kelsey Asbille), an 18-year-old girl who clearly ran a very long distance, barefoot and in subzero temperatures, before she died.

FBI agent Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen) is sent to work with reservation law enforcement, led by Ben (Graham Greene), to investigate what, because of how Natalie died and evidence of rape, is ruled a murder. Jane — who is young, stationed in the Las Vegas office and completely unfamiliar with the area or its harsh weather — seems totally wrong for the work. But Corey, who as we come to learn knew the deceased girl and her family and has his own tragic past, agrees to help her get around in the snowy environment and track the killers. Or, as he tells Natalie’s father (Gil Birmingham), he’ll use Jane’s investigation to do what he does: hunt predators. Not only is the snow a problem but so is the complicated web of jurisdiction that comes with a crime on a reservation (which includes land that has been leased to yet another federal agency).

Wind River does a lot of things really well.

First, it’s a movie, not some 7- to 12-episode prestige TV show. I never thought I’d be thankful for less character development but I am with this movie, which is so much more satisfying in its brevity. Wind River offers the exact amount of information about the people and the situation to make us feel the deep sadness and despair and glints of hope that are a part of this story without wallowing in a way that starts to cheapen those emotions.

I also like that, though it is a beginningmiddle-end movie, Wind River doesn’t tie up every plot thread. It shows restraint in how it chooses to have characters interact and how it chooses which questions to answer. While there is some change in some of the characters, there isn’t a big dramatic growth; people don’t “get better.” They deal, for better and worse. And, for such a bleak story, it has rare but welcome moments where characters offer observations that, while not laugh-outloud funny, provide a break in the sadness, a way to cope (as they would for people in real life).

The movie is also truly beautiful to look at with shots of the Wyoming wilderness that tell the story as much as the dialogue.

Sounds like fun, right? I realize “sad story about a brutal murder and life’s injustice” might not be on your Labor Day weekend to-do list. But Wind River is a

Leap! (PG)

A plucky orphan dreams of being a ballerina in 1880s-ish Paris in Leap!, a pretty-looking bummer of an animated story.

Felicie (voice of Elle Fanning) and Victor (voice of Nat Wolff) are plucky tween orphans (so plucky!) living in the French countryside. They escape to Paris — Felicie to learn to dance and Victor to become an inventor. Felicie orphanishly skulks around the dance school and meets Odette (voice of Carly Rae Jepsen), who cleans the dance school and works as a maid at a fancy house. Felicie offers to help Odette, who has a limp, with her cleaning if she will let Felicie stay with her.

Odette cleans and lives at the home of Regine (voice of Kate McKinnon), whose daughter Camille (voice of Maddie Ziegler) is training hard for the ballet. After Camille is mean to Felicie and breaks her music box (the only item Felicie has from her mother), Felicie decides to keep the letter from the ballet school to Camille that she accidentally intercepts.

Pretending to be Camille, Felicie enrolls in class and quickly finds her footing — to the shock of dance instructor Merante (Terrence Scammell) — especially once Odette helps train her.

Meanwhile, Victor goes to work for Gustave Eiffel and shows up periodically for an unnecessary like-triangle between the rumpled Victor and Rudi (voice of Tamir Kapelian), a snob from the ballet school. I’d ask why we even need Rudi but a bigger mystery is why there needs to be a weird crush-triangle in this very kid-ori-

ented “follow your dream” story.

Actually, there doesn’t need to be a Victor either. I think he’s comic relief, or maybe he was comic relief in some other version of this movie, which was released with a French vocal track and a previous English version with some different actors, both called Ballerina, according to Wikipedia. It’s hard to say if the movie was always weird or if the weirdness is part of a “lost in translation” problem associated with the new, American-audience version.

There are some not-terrible elements in Leap!: follow your dreams is always a nice message, there is a pretty storybook quality to the animation, plucky orphans (especially redheads, like Felicie) are classic kid-lit characters.

But these characters are at times grating even by animated children’s movie standards. And there is a clearance bin of other semi-formed storytelling ideas thrown into this dull mix: something about the passion for dance; Felicie’s memories of her mother; the mentor/student sort-of-parental relationship Felicie forms with Odette; Odette’s own dancing past, and whatever is going on between Odette and Merante.

Just as there is a small army of picture books featuring princesses that also surreptitiously deliver messages about things like sharing and eating your peas, ballet in this movie would seem to be the delivery system for a tale about the importance of practice and dedication. (Or not, but if this movie isn’t trying to deliver some such message then I really don’t know what it’s doing.)

But that message gets lost in a weird jumble of unlikable characters, not-quite-working slapstick and a weak pop soundtrack. CRated PG for some impolite humor, and action. Directed by Éric Summer and Éric Warin with screenplay Carol Noble & Laurent Zeitoun & Éric Summer, Leap! is an hour and 29 minutes and distributed by The Weinstein Company.

Mammoth Road, Manchester. See backyardbrewernh.com.

The seven members of Beautiful Losers are more than a Bob Seger tribute band; they are the among the best musicians in New Hampshire.

Drummer David Stefanelli will be off to Europe for his latest tour with Godsmack frontman Sully Erna after their Sept. 8 stop at Manchester’s Palace Theatre. The rest of the group have decades of experience performing in the region — each is Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hours personified.

Leading the spirited rock ’n’ roll crew is Devin Cordeiro, and though he’s surrounded by the cream of the crop, good chops aren’t what sealed the deal for guys like guitarist Nate Comp, keyboard player Steve Baker, bassist Tim Archibald and a horn section of Carl and David Ayotte.

“The main thing is that they’re Seger fans,” Cordeiro said by telephone recently. “I didn’t want to get a heavy metal guy who was a shredder but didn’t care about the music. ...

It’s all about playing to the song, and to do that you’ve gotta love it.”

The band stays in the sweet spot of Seger’s career, from his first big hit, “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man,” to his 1982 LP, The Distance.

Cordeiro said his favorite song is “Against the Wind,” because Seger’s everyman lyrics speak to him. Ditto the more uptempo “Brave Strangers,” rarely played by Seger but a regular part of Beautiful Losers’ set.

“If you’re asking me which song rocks the hardest, though, I’d have to say ‘Bo Diddley’ from the Live Bullet album,” he said.

Cordeiro latched onto Michigan’s favorite son at age 6, saving up shoveling and paper money to see Seger and the Silver Bullet Band at Boston Garden four years later.

“It was October 1980, the night he recorded ‘Nine Tonight,’” he said. “I was hooked from then on.”

Codeiro is lead singer in popular cover band Last Laugh; when he drops in an occasional Seger reference — “a little free jam verse, that kind of thing” — his bandmates “don’t get it.”

When he conceived of a Seger tribute band, he was inspired by Beatlejuice, the allstar Beatles tribute act once led by late Boston singer Brad Delp.

“They don’t look a thing like them, but does anyone sound better?” he asked. “You can feel the love when they’re on stage.”

He sought top players, never believing they’d all say yes.

“I hit the jackpot,” he said. “Now, I just look forward to rehearsing with them. ... The music is so good.”

Stefanelli, with his connections to another great live act of Seger’s era, the J. Geils Band — the drummer has played with Geils lead vocalist Peter Wolf — was a key recruit.

“I looked around at all the guys I’d known after all my years in the business and thought, who would be a fit for this, who would be a fit for that? I literally went for the top,” he said.

“I figured, the worst they could say was no — why not get the best?”

When the group’s first bass player offered his services, Cordeiro quizzed him, asking for the name of the Silver Bullet Band’s bassist.

he said.

The group’s reputation even found its way to the source, Cordeiro reports. A few years back, he Facebook-friended Charlie Martin, the drummer on Live Bullet who was tragically paralyzed in a car accident days after the album’s release.

Along with telling stories of Seger’s early career, like playing to thousands at Detroit’s Silverdome one night, followed by a Chicago club date the next, Martin sized up Beautiful Losers after watching rehearsal videos.

“He said, ‘There’s a ton of Seger cover bands in Michigan, way too many,’” Cordeiro said. “Then he told me, ‘You smoked ‘em all.’”

Because of band members’ many regular commitments, Beautiful Losers has played infrequently since forming in 2013, so every show is special.

Cordeiro promises the band’s hometown show will be “no frills, no confetti bombs, just seven guys up there kicking ass to the songs, recreating the live feel. It will be a trip back in time to 1979.”

In a shocking display of mischief, an unnamed 60-year-old man in Singapore is under investigation for lodging three toothpicks in a seat on a public bus in July.

If he is found to be the culprit, he could spend up to two years in prison. Singapore has an extremely low crime rate, and even minor offenses result in harsh punishments. For example, vandalism is punishable by caning. Police said at press time that the investigation was continuing.

Wait, what?

Practicing physicians in Cairo, Egypt, opened a surgery-themed restaurant called D.Kebda in July, where they wear surgical scrubs and prepare their only offering, grilled beef-liver sandwiches, behind a glass partition. Kebda is a popular street food in Egypt, but it can cause food poisoning if not prepared carefully. “We tried to take our career values and apply them to this other field,” said Mostafa Basiouny, one of the owners. “There is no contradiction between them; we are still practicing doctors.”

On Aug. 7, 16-year-old Jack Bergeson of Wichita, Kansas, filed papers in Topeka to run for governor as a Democrat in the 2018 race. Bergeson, who won’t be able to vote in that election, said: “I thought, you know, let’s give the people of Kansas a chance. Let’s try something new.”

The candidate says he would “radically change” health care and would support legalizing medical marijuana, but he’s conservative on gun rights. Bryan Caskey, director of elections at the Kansas secretary of state’s office, said there is no law governing the qualifications for governor. Bergeson’s running mate, 17-year-old Alexander Cline, will be 18 by the election and will get to vote.
