Our suspicions have been confirmed: The most recent iteration of health care reform did not have enough votes to pass. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared that Republicans were giving up on the proposed replacement as enough members of the party came out against the effort to warrant a no vote on the bill. This further demonstrates the importance of crafting bipartisan legislation to find a viable and sustainable solution.

There are few who argue about the high cost of health care in this country. Study after study has placed medical expenses as the top reason for declaring bankruptcy in the United States, outranking job loss and credit card debt. This is a staggering statistic and one that should not exist in this nation.

While our lawmakers are busy trying to craft an acceptable law, we as consumers can play a role in reducing costs. We should work harder to educate ourselves on the costs and outcomes of using the system in its current model. Perhaps that means going to the innetwork specialist in Manchester rather than traveling to Boston for out-of-network care.

One of the more difficult but vitally important responsibilities we can assume is putting in place end-of-life directives. Research suggests that 5 percent of patients account for 50 percent of the costs in our health care system and lack of clarity around palliative care plays a large part in that statistic. These conversations and documents help identify what kind of care we want if our health needs change.

Additionally, they allow us to honor the wishes of our loved ones in their most vulnerable of times.

Finally, we should put more emphasis on prevention in this nation. We spend 88 percent, or approximately $1.9 trillion, of our health care dollars on access to care but studies have shown it’s another factor that matters more. Data suggest that it’s health behaviors and social issues that are the largest factors of our health and well-being. Ironically, this is where we spend the least.

The jury is still out on what model will be most effective to reduce costs while providing exceptional care. Will it mean a single-payer system? More power for the states to determine the best model for their residents?

Medicaid block grants? Our elected officials may hold the final votes but we all have a role to play in this effort. Education, accountability and collaboration should be at the root of this work. This will, hopefully, lead us on a path to successful legislation and finding a solution to improving our current health care system.

NEWS & NOTES

Court pauses deportations women suffering from PTSD, some for leaf-peeping, as well as updatAccording to press releases from Congressional delegates, a U.S. District Court for Massachusetts issued a one-month injunction on the deportation of nearly 60 undocumented Indonesian immigrants living in New Hampshire. In a statement, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said she is “tremendously relieved” by the decision. “The court’s action today provides valuable time to continue making the case for why the Indonesian community should remain in New Hampshire,” Shaheen said.

She added that these people have learned our language, found employment and raised families and are integral members of their community. She said it would be “unconscionable” to separate families and send these immigrants, many of whom are Christians, to a Muslim majority home country where they are at risk of religious persecution. The Indonesians had been ordered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to leave this fall, some as early as late September. Sen. Maggie Hassan and Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter also released statements praising the court order.

Fewer refugees

A decrease in refugees coming into the state resulting from a proposed refugee cap ordered by the Trump administration could exacerbate New Hampshire’s existing workforce shortage, NHPR reported. The White House’s new travel restrictions include a plan to lower the number of refugees allowed in the U.S. from 110,000 to 45,000.

The state usually accepts about 200 new refugees each year. According to the story, Jeff Thielman of the International Institute of New England said a reduction in refugees could further strain workforce needs in the construction, service and transportation industries.

The longtime head of the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies, a local think tank, has resigned from the organization and taken up a post at Elliot Hospital.

According to NHCPPS, Norton stepped down at the end of August.

He was the executive director of the group for 12 years. The decision to leave was his, according to board chair Eric Herr. The board is looking to hire an interim director for the nonprofit, whose mission is to enhance policy discussions vital to New Hampshire’s future.

Authorities are investigating a small plane crash in Milford Nashua. WMUR reported the plane was attempting to land at the Nashua Airport runway but landed in grass, causing it to veer off into a culvert.

nous Peoples’ Day, NHPR reported.

The town adopted the holiday itself last month. In a letter sent to Gov. Chris Sununu and lawmakers, town councilors asked state leaders to consider creating the holiday on the second Monday in October, saying it would “create a tribute to the people that assisted the colonists with the knowledge and understanding of how to survive in an unfamiliar new land.”

An injured owl discovered by truckers in New Hampshire last spring has been rehabilitated and was released back into the wild on Sept.

30. The AP reported the owl was struck by the truck while it was traveling between Massachusetts and New Hampshire and it was ensnared between the cabin and the trailer. With the help of New Hampshire Fish and Game, the truckers gently removed the bird, wrapped it in a blanket, placed it in a box and turned it over to rehabilitators based in Epping. The truckers had to wear thick gloves to protect against the strong talons. The bird suffered broken wings and head trauma. It was released in Wilmington, Massachusetts, where the incident took place.

Overdoses

There have been more than 100 suspected overdoses in Manchester in the month of September, which sets a new monthly record for the city, WMUR reported. American Medical Response counted 105 cases for the month. There were also 10 drug-related deaths last month.

That’s the most fatalities in a single month since April 2016.

INDIVIDUAL HEALTHCARE MARKET SHOPPERS

According to an analyst hired by the state to study insurance market trends, premiums for unsubsidized coverage in the individual market will experience an average increase of 52 percent in 2018.

The report, prepared by Bela Gorman of Gorman Actuarial for the New Hampshire Premium Assistance Program Commission, found that people who qualify for subsidized coverage will see no change or possibly a decrease in their rates. But those who do not get insurance from employers or discounted by the government could see their prices spike significantly. According to the report, there are about 25,100 people in that market in New Hampshire.

Of those, 15,300 are getting insurance through the Healthcare.gov exchange, while 8,900 do not.

Deadly strains

Influenza season runs from October through May and is most active from December through February or March. The peak of the season is in January or early February.

According to data from the state Department of Health and Human Services on the 2016-2017 season, there were 47 influenzarelated deaths. Of those, 45 were adults and two were children.

Beth Daly, chief of the Bureau of Infectious Disease Control, said that was one of the deadliest seasons on record, and it was likely attributable to the strain of influenza that circulated.

“Last year, influenza A H3 was the predominant strain that circulated and, when that particular strain circulates, we typically do have more severe influenza seasons,” Daly said.

Still, the death reporting process isn’t perfect, she said. Public health officials rely heavily on death certificates that mention influenza. And they combine influenza with pneumonia to create a fuller picture of the problem.

“Typically as many as 10 percent of all deaths during the winter are due to pneumonia or influenza in a given week,” Daly said.

In a typical year, Daly said influenza can be accounted for about 10 to 20 deaths. But there

have been a number of years where deaths reached the 40s, all of which were driven by the A H3 strain. That strain was predominant in the 2012-2013 and 2014-2015 seasons as well.

Nationally, health officials do their best to target the likely strains in vaccines that include an array of viruses.

One case of influenza has been detected so far in New Hampshire, according to Daly.

“So far we only have one detection and it is an A H3, but that doesn’t mean anything because it’s only one,” Daly said. “Obviously, we’re going to keep our eye closely on that and we’ll know better once we get more specimens in our laboratory as people start to test positive for it.”

She said officials will have a clearer picture of the predominant strains around December.

Prevention

The best way to protect yourself and those around you from infection is to get vaccinated, and the earlier, the better.

“Now is a great time for people to get vaccinated,” Daly said.

Vaccines are recommended for everyone 6 months or older, and especially people from vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children and folks with immune system deficiencies or conditions like asthma, which would be exacerbated by flu symptoms.

For those healthy young adults who may think the vaccine isn’t for them, Daly said the disease can still prove fatal to healthy adults.

At the least, it can be debilitating and hospitalization can force people to lose work.

It’s also prudent to get vaccinated so you don’t transfer the illness to others who are more vulnerable, she said.

F-35 jet

Joint strike fighter is a joint effort in N.H.

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

The F-35 Lightning II is lauded by defense contractors and lawmakers alike as the future of air defense and a “force multiplier” that increases the effectiveness of the U.S. military. And many of its components are made in New Hampshire, adding jobs and injecting the local economy with hundreds of millions of dollars.

long cockpit canopy and nestled between two angular jet intakes. Alongside its sleek, flat hull are two primary wings, two rear wings and two dorsal fins above the rear engine.

According to Bob Rubino, the deputy director of the F-35 program at Lockheed and a former F-18 pilot, the new jet represents the fifth generation of fighter jets in the U.S. military, replacing the F-16, F-18 and the AV-8B Harrier.

He said it is characterized by three main capabilities. It will have significant firepower, able to load up to 22,000 pounds of weaponry (compared to the max of 5,000 pounds on an F-16). Rubino calls it “beast mode.” It also has a stealth feature.

“It doesn’t make you invisible but it gets you awful close,” Rubino said.

And thirdly, it will have enhanced sensors and avionics that network with ground troops and ships at sea to vastly improve a pilot’s situational awareness and information sharing.

“It’s a lot like what it was for a flip phone versus a smartphone today,” Rubino said.

So far, there are about 40 aircraft active today between 12 bases for both the Air Force and Marine Corps. Lockheed plans to get the Navy its first shipment of jets within the next year or so.

Gentex

A global contractor with a plant in Manchester called Gentex is making the helmet for the pilots and ground crew, including some of the various components within, such as ear protection, laser eye protection, communications and the oxygen mask.

The company has 900 employees worldwide, including about 80 in Manchester.

Of that, Vice President of Aircrew Systems Robert McCay said, the Queen City plant has about 10 to 15 employees working directly on the F-35 project, which has created about 30 indirect jobs from its supply base.

Since the project’s inception in 2002, the Manchester facility has been making the helmet microphones, which get integrated into the oxygen mask at another location, according to McCay. But for the past two and a half years, the plant has been working on making the noise reduction system, which is important because of how loud the engines get.

“Our active noise reduction headset embedded in the air crew helmet and our stand-alone digital active noise reduction triple hearing production headset will provide the most advanced hearing protection available, while allowing clear communications in extreme noise fields that the F-35 has to perform in,” McCay said in a speech at a recent event promoting the project at its Manchester location.

Thus far, he said, Lockheed has been making the jets at a rate of roughly 50 per year, but that will increase soon.

“For us that [amounts] to almost 500 headsets … a year for the aircrew,” McCay said.

Local economy

Temco in Manchester makes the plane’s flare magazines and antenna arrays, according to Temco president Norman Gagne.

Rubino said the project has created about 140,000 direct and indirect jobs in the country, and in New Hampshire about 3,500 direct and indirect jobs between about 55 firms. About half of those are small businesses, he said, and of those jobs, about 1,000 are for people working directly on the project. All that production, he said, amounts to an injection of about $500 million into the local economy.

And as production ramps up in the coming years, job creation and economic impact are expected to take off in the state.

Rubino said they’ll be finishing production of 66 planes this year, which is considered low-rate production for this project, but higher than previous generation jets. Next year, 90 planes will be delivered, and by 2020, they’ll make more than 150, he said.

While the additional planes won’t amount to a one-for-one increase in jobs, Rubino does anticipate a significant increase.

According to Rubino, each plane will cost between $80 million and $85 million over the life of the project, which is on par with the cost of fourth-generation planes.

History

Many critics of the F-35 program have called it an expensive boondoggle that will cost the U.S. about $1.5 trillion until it’s phased out in 2070, according to CNBC. The project is about six years behind schedule. According to the Medium.com defense blog “War is Boring,” a test pilot said the jet is less maneuverable than the F-16, making it potentially weaker in a dogfight.

According to a report by CNN, at one point, the Air Force had planned to replace the popular A-10 Warthog with the F-35, something experts called a bad idea since the A-10’s mission of close air support for ground troops couldn’t be performed by the faster, newer jet. But pushback from military rank-and-file and from top Washington leaders like Arizona Sen. John McCain and New Hampshire’s former Sen. Kelly Ayotte appear to have won the day.

Earlier this year the Air Force announced it would continue the A-10 program indefinitely into the future. Despite first entering the air in the mid-1970s, it’s proven proficient at its mission.

“What we’ve heard from our warriors on the ground is how important the A-10 is in these close situations when our troops are pinned down,” Sen. Maggie Hassan said at the Gentex event. “So the Air Force has indicated that they do plan to continue to use the A-10 because of that very specific capability it has, but at the same time we know that the F-35 is going to be a force multiplier because it will have so many different capabilities, one of them being stealth, which is so critically important right now.”

Can you describe your role as the Disproportionate Minority Contact Coordinator?

Well, the Oyster River situation is not related to Disproportionate Minority Contact. Disproportionate Minority Contact addresses the over-representation of racial ethnic minorities in the juvenile justice system. So I work with police departments statewide. ... The reason I was referred to Oyster River is because some people that I was working with doing [DMC] work liked the approach, the understanding I have of the relationship between leadership, culture, diversity and the challenges that we’re facing locally and nationwide. … If you’re talking [DMC], the best way to describe our success here is with a program called The Mirror Project. … The program itself mirrors a program that we provide for police on understanding juveniles so that when they encounter them, they do the right thing that’s in the best interest of both the juveniles and the police. As we were doing one of those training programs, a police officer said, ‘You’re teaching us how to understand juveniles. Who’s teaching the juveniles how to understand us?’ That led to … The Mirror Project. That is a program led by police officers, and in Manchester, all of the eighthgraders for the last two years have taken this ... one-hour training program delivered by uniformed police officers. ... It’s gotten national attention and it’s also affected our measurement for over-representation of racial ethnic minorities. We’re recognized federally as the only state in the country where the ethnic minority over-representation has trended down for four consecutive years.

and because our minority population in New Hampshire is less than 10 percent total, the people who have been experiencing discrimination have a hard time because the majority of the Photo by Ryan Lessard. population have not experienced that, so therefore they don’t think it’s real or they think it’s a minor incident. Therein is the essence of the problem.

So, how do you teach juveniles, or how do police teach juveniles and expose them to that idea that it’s a real problem?

Well, the thing that I’ve been successful at doing is providing insight-based learning. … Insight-based learning says I’m going to give you some information and by your understanding of that information you gain insight into what the issue is. If I was a classic teacher, I would teach you how to count, I would teach you how to read, I would teach you history [and] ... I will probably give you a test on what I told you.

And if you remember and apply what you learned when I taught you that, you’ll do well on the test. … But that’s because I told you. I’ll give you an example of an insightbased learning event. There was a big fish swimming downstream. On his way down the stream, there were two younger fish swimming upstream. The big fish said to the little fish, “Hi there, young fish, how’s the water?” The little fish said, “What’s water?” Now, for people that are in the majority, that have never been discriminated against, they’re like the little fish. You Why do you think relations are apparent- see what I’m saying? ly so tense between whites and minorities They’ve never been out of the water. right now?

Exactly. So, that’s insight-based learning.

One of the things I explain … is that if you are not offended by what’s going on, it Is that any different to how you teach means that you’ve never been discriminated against. There’s a huge population that police officers or other adults?

Adults learn best through insight, particis in that position, so when you have someone that has been discriminated against, ularly successful adults. … Police officers also learn best from other police officers because the world of a police officer is difWHAT ARE YOU REALLY ferent than someone who is not a police INTERESTED IN RIGHT NOW? officer or in a paramilitary environment, Golfing and walking. It gets your mind on which police officers are in. other things.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Record turnout for mental illness walk NAMIWalks NH saw the largest turnout in its 15-year history, according to WMUR. More than 1,200 people participated in the walk held last Sunday in Concord, which raised awareness about mental illness and funds for the National Alliance on Mental Illness New Hampshire.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: NAMI NH provided mental illness support, education and advocacy to more than 15,000 people last year.

Record liquor sales The New Hampshire Liquor Commission set an all-time sales record during the 2017 fiscal year, according to NHPR. Sales hit $698.2 million, which is an increase of 2.92 percent, or $19.8 million, from the previous year. $155.7 million in profits were transferred to New Hampshire’s General Fund to be used for state programs including education, health and social services, transportation, and natural resource protection, and $3 million were transferred to the state’s Alcohol Abuse Prevention and Treatment Fund.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Of the 80 Liquor & Wine Outlet locations throughout the state, the top performing outlet last year for gross sales was outlet No. 76 on Interstate 95 Northbound in Hampton, which made $32 million.

Food insecurity remains high While 2016 Census Bureau data show a decrease in poverty in the state, from 8.2 to 7.3 percent, food insecurity remains higher than pre-Recession levels, according to the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute. Households with an income less than $45,027 for a family of two adults and two children were more likely than households overall to be food insecure, meaning they don’t know where their next meal is coming from. In 2004-2006, the percentage of food-insecure households was 7.4 percent. Between 2014 and 2016, that figure was at 9.6 percent, which is a decrease from the height of the Great Recession, but still higher than before.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Nationwide, 13 percent of households were food insecure from 2014 to 2016.

One of the happiest states According to a study by WalletHub, New Hampshire is the 10th happiest state in the country. It’s also the happiest state in New England.

Compared to last year’s happy state index, the Granite State moved up one notch from 11th. The study looked at 28 key metrics divided between emotional and physical well-being, work environment and community and environment. New Hampshire’s safety metric was fifth overall and its community and environment rank was second.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: New Hampshire is 15th in adequate-sleep rate. QOL thinks this is likely due to a dearth of young parents.

Like last week, I’m going to ruffle some feathers today. It has to do with the way many these days can’t mention Tom Brady without adding “the GOAT,” a.k.a. Greatest Of All Time. That’s based exclusively on his winning more Super Bowl rings than anyone else.

It bugs me because it’s said as if no one else had anything to do with that, which is so disrespectful. I mean, even in the last two of his five wins, when Brady was clearly at the top of his profession, if Julian Edelman doesn’t make that catch, James White doesn’t get open to catch a record 14 balls and Malcolm Butler doesn’t literally come out of nowhere for his goal line pick, TB’s a pedestrian 3 and 4 in the Big Game. And in the first one, the defense held the most prolific offense in NFL history to just 20 points, while Ty Law scored the first TD on a pick-6 and he threw for a meager 145 yards. Even the final drive’s biggest play was a two-yard dink that Troy Brown turned into a gigantic 23-yard gain.

Clearly, he didn’t do it alone.

They’re not as convinced over those five in San Francisco, by the way. They say Joe Cool’s being 4-0 in the SB beats Brady’s 5-2. Ditto in Pittsburgh, where Terry Bradshaw was also 4-0. Montana’s regular-season 92.3 QB rating goes up to 95.6 (98.2 as a 49er) in the playoffs. For Bradshaw, it’s 70.9 rising to 83.0. Otto Graham took Cleveland to the title game in every season he ever played, winning seven times. That included beating the Rams 30-28 the year several All-American Football Conference teams joined the NFL in 1950. Seven trumps five, doesn’t it? As does going 10 for 10 to title games.

Bradshaw had the greatest defense I’ve ever seen for most of his time in Pittsburgh, while Montana had an underrated defense in SF. For Brady, the defense was

title game when Indy recovered from 21-3 down late in the first half to win 37-34 with a minute to go. And that was against a three-time Super Bowl winning defense, not the first-time-in-the-SB Falcons.

What about stats? Manning has 79 more TD passes, 9,000 more passing yards and was 3-1 vs. Brady in conference championship games. Brett Favre and the still active Drew Brees also have more TD passes. Aaron Rodgers has him in QB rating 104.0 to 97.5.

Look, I know how lucky we’ve all been to watch Boston sports’ second-greatest player ever for 17 years. I’m just saying picking the greatest quarterback of all time is more complicated than who won the most rings. Especially when you are playing under the best coach of his era in Coach B, who arguably is a GOAT himself.

For Brady, it comes down to the same reason Bill Russell was better than Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt, like Manning, had the overwhelming numbers, but the only way anyone could convince me he was better is if they could magically switch places and Wilt won 12 titles in the 13 years Russell won his 11. And after seeing him lose to the aging Russell in 1968 and again with Jerry West and Elgin Baylor in 1969, I know that wouldn’t have happened. There was just something about him, as there is with Brady.

All the great ones have the big hero numbers, but quarterbacking is most about decision-making. So if you want the stat that separates Brady from most others, it’s interceptions. His 155 are nearly 200 less than Favre, 100 less than Manning, Marino and Unitas. Like Starr (138) and Montana (139), he didn’t make the big mistakes that killed Manning and others in the big moment.

So, if I can take homer-ism out of it, for me it’s down to Starr, Montana or Brady to start vs. the aliens in a game to save the planet.

their calling card through 2006. Since 2007 the O has led the way with the D wavering between aging but dangerous through 2009 and downright awful after that, until being a big contributor since 2014. So as Dan Marino can tell you, team make-up matters. Because he didn’t have anything close to that on D and with one 1,000 runner in 18 seasons he got little help from the ground game. John Elway got blown away in his first three SBs. Was he a loser? Or a magician who somehow got mediocre teams to the Super Bowl for an eventual massacre? His two rings came after Denver got Terrell Davis.

But if rings matter most, why isn’t Bart Starr a GOAT rival? He won five titles in the 1960s, including the first two Super Bowls when he was MVP. His 90-percent winning percentage (9-1) in the playoffs is much better than Brady’s 73.5. And while Bart’s 80.5 QB rating is much lower than TB-12’s 97.5, that’s attributable to the ground-and-pound way Vince Lombardi’s Packers played in them-thar days. That made TD passes that ramp up the rating considerably less likely, as did playing under the less friendly passing game rules of today. Starr’s QB rating rose to 104.8 in the playoffs, while for Brady it is “only” 89.0. True, he’s got those 25 playoff wins, but in Starr’s day mostly only two teams made the playoffs, which meant getting by really good teams like Johnny Unitas’ Colts, George Halas’ Monsters of the Midway and later the Fearsome Foursome L.A. Rams just to get in. The Pats have just had to win the mostly pathetic AFC East with Brady.

The great comeback against Atlanta, you say? Well that was certainly clutch, but he’s not the first guy to author a great playoff comeback. Backup Frank Reich brought Buffalo from down 34-3 for a 41-38 OT win over Houston in 1993, and you’ve heard of Elway’s famed “drive” to break Cleveland’s heart in 1987, right? Heck, Peyton Manning did it to Brady in the 2006 AFC

HS football story – score BIG! The Big Story: It was quite a weekend for scoring big in high school football, where no fewer than 17 teams scored 40 more points. That includes the Concord-Memorial barn-burner won by the Crimson 49-42, West ending its 23-game losing streak with a 46-6 win over Pembroke, along with epic 72-0 and 81-9 wins by Epping/Newmarket and Campbell over Farmington and Bishop Brady respectively.

Sports 101: What batter holds the record for having his swing interfered with by the catcher (his mitt hits the bat) the most times in baseball history?

Showdown Game of the Week: In the battle of two top teams in Division II Soccer, Derryfield remained undefeated in moving to 9-0 in handing Hopkinton its first loss in a 4-0 win in Manchester.

Andrew Dubreuil was in the middle of most of it as he scored once, assisted on another by Nate Kelsey and induced a Hopkinton own-goal on a corner kick. Jeff Pratt got his 18th goal of the year in the first half, while Oliver Sattler picked up the shutout stopping the only three shots on goal allowed by the D-field D.

The Numbers

3 – goals scored by Hunter Lortie as West got its fourth win behind his hat trick in a 3-1 victory over Milford in soccer action at the beginning of the week.

5 – combined goals from Olivia Stowell (3) and Darby Dupuis (2) in leading the Londonderry girls in a 7-0 win over Salem in NHIAA soccer action.

9 – wins against no loss-

Knick of Time Award: To Goffstown’s Mike Fortin scoring with 2 minutes left in the second overtime off a Noah Charron arching corner kick to make G-town a 3-2 winner over rival Lebanon.

Knick of Tyme II Award: To Dartmouth running back Jared Gerbino, who went over for the winning TD as time expired on fourth and one as the Green beat Penn.

Sports 101 Answer: The record for a batter having his swing interfered with by a catcher’s glove most often in baseball history is held by none other than Red Sox alum Jacoby Ellsbury. He went past Pete Rose at 29 earlier this month, though surprisingly even though he’s spent much more time he Boston it’s happened to him 16 times (12 in ’16 and four in ’17) in two years alone in NYC. On This Day – Oct. 5: 1908 – White Sox hurler Ed Walsh beats the Tigers 6-1 for his 40th win of the season. 1921 – In the first World Series game broadcast over that new-fangled contraption called radio, the Yankees beat the Giants 3-0. 2001 – Barry Bonds hits his 71st homer to break Mark McGwire’s record of 70 which he would extend to 73.

Sports Glossary

Monsters of the Midway: Name given to the Chicago Bears in the early 1940s and continuing into the ’60s primarily for its intimidating defenses under owner-GM-coach George Halas starting around the time of their astonishing 72-0 beatdown of the Washington Redskins in the 1940 NFL title game.

Joe Cool: Most appropriate nickname given to all-time 49er QB all-timer Joe Montana, which he got for being uncannily cool in the hottest circumstances when the Niners were to the ’80s what the Patriots are to the 2000s.

L.A. Rams – Fearsome Foursome: Intimidating defensive front of the 1960s L.A. Rams, which included Hall of Fame sack machine Deacon Jones and the great-from-the-secondhe-got-to-the-NFL and later TV actor Merlin Olsen. It also included end Lamar Lundy and the NFL’s first 300-pounder, Rosey Grier, who played for the G-Men in their ’50s-’60s heyday and later was standing right next to Bobby Kennedy when he was shot in an L.A. hotel ballroom just after winning the 1968 California primary.

QB Rating: Statistical formula so complex it takes a team of MIT mathletes to explain in a way that mere math civilians and 98.3 percent of the planet have no hope of comprehending.

The Drive: John Elway and Denver get it at the Cleveland two-yard line with 5 minutes left and down 23-16. After going 5-7 and running for 20 yards he hits Mark Jackson with 38 seconds left to send it to OT, where Denver later wins.

A look at developments offering out-of-the-box, brand new neighborhoods with that old-fashioned downtown feel

Mixing it up

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

If you set your GPS to 15 Pillsbury Road in Londonderry, it will likely lead you to Exit 4 on Interstate 93, to a turn at a Wendy’s off Route 102, past a strip mall anchored by a Market Basket and a HomeGoods to a 62-acre patch of dirt and grass. Scattered across the field are piles of black pipes, a trailer office, mounds of soil and backhoes.

A dirt road, visible only by the darkened tire tracks of dump trucks, cuts eastward through the center before turning north to an old barn on Pillsbury Road that’s being used as a de facto center of operations for developers who are remaking this blank canvas into a new downtown area.

In just a few years, by 2020, that dark strip of dirt will become Main Street for a project called Woodmont Commons, a development that will contain a mix of apartments, retail shops, restaurants, office space and a hotel all packed densely into a walkable neighborhood.

As master developer Michael Kettenbach envisions it, the space will be a cool destination for shoppers and diners comingling with those who choose to live there — both young and old.

“When you look down the street, you’ll see plenty of balconies, you’ll see plenty of things that change, and you’ll see the road bend and you’ll see it bend again so that your eye focuses on different areas as you’re walking and you never get bored,” Kettenbach said.

He said the core of Woodmont, the parcel abutting the Market Basket strip mall, will have a steak house, an American sports bar, an Italian restaurant and a brewery.

“I have six restaurants ready to go tomorrow,” Kettenbach said.

He also has a handful of retail businesses he’s in active discussion with. So far, they’ve tended to be up-market, such as jewelry stores. The only named tenant so far is 603 Brewery, which will relocate from its current Londonderry site to a much larger building in the center of this downtown. It will have a beer hall inside that will serve pints and burgers.

This represents “Phase 1” of the project, which emcompasses a total of about 620 acres of old orchard land on both sides of the highway.

Woodmont Commons is not only the largest development project of its kind in the state right now; it’s also representative of a paradigm shift in urban design that has taken root in other parts of the country in the past 15 years but is just now reaching New England and the Granite State.

For decades, the guiding paradigm has been based on keeping a town’s green beans from touching its mashed potatoes. Zoning rules were set up to establish residential areas for apartments or single-family homes, commercial areas for retail businesses, restaurants or offices and industrial areas for manufacturing.

But there has been a growing movement to throw out the old book and create a new type of zone called “mixed-use,” which can incorporate many if not all of the uses that were previously segregated into a single development. Big box stores, multifamily dwelling units, cinemas and bars can all coexist in a densely packed area.

“Everything within walking difference.

That’s the key to good living, in my opinion,” Kettenbach said.

Residents will not only be able to walk to their office for work, they’ll also have nearby amenities like a community garden, plenty of green space and possibly a YMCA with sports fields.

Similar projects are under construction in other parts of southern New Hampshire, such as at the old Macy’s site in Bedford and the former Rockingham Park site in Salem.

Kettenbach said mixed-use developments provide a sense of community.

Some of the unique features of Woodmont will add to that, such as a village district for mail.

“So you’re forced to go to open your mailbox at the post office and you see everybody in town,” Kettenbach said.

“And that adds to a sense of place.”

All mixed-use projects leave behind suburban sprawl in favor of something more tight-knit and aesthetically appealing.

While different projects approach the concept of mixed-use zoning in varying ways, Woodmont is trying to recreate the town center as a destination and home. At the same time, designers are taking great pains to retain a very rural and New England feel.

“You’re designing an old-concept downtown Portsmouth, if you will, that is brand new,” said Londonderry Town Manager Kevin Smith.

The concept, Smith said, is appealing to both young and old residents. Many older folks in the state are downsizing from homes to apartments, while young people are struggling to find affordable housing.

The housing issue exacerbates a workforce shortage in the state, but it’s not just about affordability. Many millennials are looking for something that has the best of both the rural and urban worlds — nearby amenities with an old-town atmosphere — and Smith said mixed-use developments may be the answer to that.

“And it’s kind of like old is new again.

People are looking to live close to downtowns and have amenities close by,”

Smith said. “Certainly, there’s a need for something like that, especially in New England, where it’s still a relatively foreign concept.”

Smith said he’s excited about Woodmont, in part because he got to see one of the projects it’s modeled after.

“One of the things that got me excited through this whole process is the model, if you will, that they’re designing this after is a development in Huntersville, North Carolina, called Birkdale Village, which is a little outside of Charlotte,” Smith said.

Kettenbach said Woodmont is using the same designers from that project, a firm called Shook Kelley.

“That’s a great project to see because it’s mature and it’s 15 years old. And it has multi-year waiting lists, not only for apartments but for retail. So it shows you that the model works,” Kettenbach said.

Smith said Londonderry already has a “downtown” for locals, which has a Town Common, a municipal building, police station and schools. But Woodmont represents more of a “destination downtown,” for locals, out-of-town shoppers and tourists.

From bushel to bustle

Right now, crews are working to install underground utilities such as water, sewer and electricity in the Phase 1 site, literally laying the groundwork for what will be the downtown center.

Artist rendering of Bedford Market and Main.

Kettenbach said the location of the site was recently pushed north by about 50 feet in order to make room for more green space between buildings and in the median that will run inside the Main Street.

In the first phase, the Londonderry Planning Board has approved 286 new dwelling units, a 135-room hotel, about 175,000 square feet of retail, about 120,000 square feet of office space, restaurant space for 568 seats, and a performance and assembly auditorium that seats 486.

From there, Kettenbach is in talks with the YMCA to provide the land for them to build a center with sports fields, and he’s

talking with a life care center operator that would bring in a 55-and-older community in a building that would be close to the Y. “That deal is ready to be signed, actually,” Kettenbach said.

There will be on-street and off-street parking and one street in the core of Woodmont will offer valet parking for visitors.

The look and feel of the place will derive from local architectural influences, from the state’s agricultural and industrial roots. He said there would be lots of stone, brick and wood features, but none of it will be uniform and cookie-cutter.

The brewery will be in a building that

somewhat resembles a dairy barn with external grain silos.

“All the facades will be quasi-New Englandy,” Kettenbach said.

The Statement of Purpose in the project’s master plan describes the downtown area as a “pedestrian-friendly development that, in many respects, will emulate historic, walkable, New Hampshire and New England towns that pre-date the invention of the automobile.”

In the next five or six years, Kettenbach wants to build something of a hybrid food court area with three or four test kitchens on either side hosting chefs who, if their dishes pass muster, can earn a spot in some of the esteemed restaurants on the property. That’s something he thinks doesn’t exist anywhere else in the state.

Phase 1 is expected to cost about $80 million to build, Kettenbach said. The full buildout of the 620 acres, over the course of the next 10 to 15 years, would likely cost about $500 million. But he said the property would have a market value of about $1 billion.

As the project moves on from the first phase, there will be a lot more residential development, including singlefamily homes and townhouses built along the northern and western periphery of the core, downtown area.

“Eventually, I’d like to build some lofts for students and young profession- 14

mont Orchards, which had been the largest apple producer of five orchards in town.

It was owned by the Lievens family before they sold it to Kettenbach’s Pillsbury Realty Development around 2008 for about $7 million.

Kettenbach said he’d started planning the development of these properties years before that.

“It started about 15 years ago and we, or I, put together a number of different properties over the years, knowing that there was going to be a 4A exit,” Kettenbach said, referring to an additional planned exit off I-93 that’s part of the Department of Transportation’s highway expansion plan.

At the time, the town hadn’t even created the mixed-use zoning overlay he so heavily relies on now. That was passed in 2010.

“About halfway through, it became very apparent that this was going to be a perfect location for a mixed-use project with urbanism, single-family, everything. All types of housing ... all types of offices, all types of light industrial,” Kettenbach said.

There was a delay in the project for about a year, Smith said, right after it received approval for its master plan in 2013, because of the family feud over the Market Basket company between Arthur S. and Arthur T. Demoulas. Kettenbach is Arthur T.’s son-in-law.

After that matter was settled, things were back on track. Kettenbach, Smith, Gov. Chris Sununu and others held a ceremonial

13 als. One-bedroom and studio lofts,” Kettenbach said. “That way, we don’t price them out of the market.”

He said there’s no plan right now to include subsidized workforce housing in any part of Woodmont.

On the land on the east side of the highway that’s zoned for mixed use, Kettenbach anticipates it will be a place to incorporate some light industrial into the mix. But much of the latter-phase details are likely to shift over years of planning.

“That’s the beauty of the zoning that we have here, is we can morph and change and build as to what the demands are at any one particular time. If commercial is hot, we’re doing commercial. If retail is hot, we’re doing retail. If office buildings are hot, we’re doing office buildings. If light industrial is going, we’re doing industrial buildings,” Kettenbach said. “That way the project never has a tendency to slow down.

It’s always in flux and always developing.”

In its full buildout, the town has signed off on 1,439 new residential units, 882,500 square feet of retail, 700,000 square feet of offices, 550 hotel rooms, 300 hospital beds and 250,000 square feet of extended care/ assisted living space.

Smith said the deal the town made ensures Woodmont doesn’t use more of the town budget than it puts in. It’s all privately financed without any tax credits or TIF districts.

Of the land purchased by Kettenbach, about 220 acres once belonged to Wood-

Geoff Hewes, his wife Tamsin and brewer Dan Leonard started 603 Brewery in 2012 in Campton and started selling their beer in 2013.

The three studied mechanical engineering together at UMass-Dartmouth together, where they met. The brewery began as a pet project with Leonard making homebrews. Hewes was drinking the homebrews and Tamsin comes from a long line of entrepreneurs, Hewes said.

The business started almost like a professional hobby. By September 2013, they moved to a bigger space in Londonderry, where they are now, and transitioned to work on the brewery full-time. That new space also included a front-end taproom. But now they’re feeling cramped again.

They can’t fit many more tanks in their current space and some things need to be stored offsite. At maximum production, they’re able to produce about 6,000 barrels a year, Hewes said.

But if they move to the new building in Woodmont, they expect they’ll be able to someday grow production to up to 30,000 barrels.

The other big advantage they hope to gain from the new building, which is planned to be roughly 20,000 square feet (about three times the current space), is to serve more than just samples.

The beer hall will have a full food-serving license, which is required by the state to serve pints.

“The customers are demanding more than

just samples of your beer. They want a pint of beer and a burger beside it,” Hewes said.

But Hewes is careful not to use the moniker of “restaurant” to describe his future beer hall.

That’s because his customers are mostly restaurants and he doesn’t want to appear like he’s competing with them. Hewes said he might even create a rotating appetizer menu that features items from some of his clients.

They are about a month away from getting the food license so they can test-drive the pints and burgers at their current location.

Ultimately, the goal is to make the Woodmont location 603 Brewery’s permanent location for the indefinite future. And Hewes hopes it will be one of the first stops for beer tourists entering the state from points south.

“We are looking to become a destination. So, if you come to New Hampshire and you love beer, we want to be at the top of your list,” Hewes said.

move an expanded Tuscan Market and Tuscan Kitchen to the site, along with a new Italian steakhouse and an Italian sports bar.

But much of what’s being floated for the second phase is still in flux.

“I’d say it changes every two weeks to a month,” Moldoff said.

The project is similar to Woodmont in that it closely marries residential and retail so people can have easy access to nearby amenities, but it diverges from Woodmont in that nearly the entire area is thematically linked by Tuscan Brands, from the Italian food to the aesthetic design. Kettenbach’s plans for Woodmont are to ensure designs keep with local architectural norms, but at the same time, he wants to avoid uniformity.

groundbreaking ceremony on June 6.

The first buildings will be completed by next year, including the brewery.

Tuscan Village

Meanwhile, other towns in the area are working on similar mixed-use projects.

One such project in Salem promises to transport visitors to northern Italy.

After repeated efforts by lawmakers to pass a casino bill enabling expanded gambling failed, Rockingham Park in Salem went up for sale and was quickly scooped up by Joe Faro, the owner and CEO of the Tuscan Brands, which includes the Tuscan Kitchen restaurant in Salem. Faro donned the hat of a developer, immediately announcing plans for a mixed-use development he called the Tuscan Village in a 50-acre parcel of land in the northern part of Rockingham.

Soon after, in October 2016, he purchased the remaining 120 acres of the property for $40 million and changed his plans.

The 50-acre parcel is now known as Tuscan Village North and is currently under construction as the first phase of the project. According to Salem Town Planner Ross Moldoff, Faro sold part of the land to Demoulas Super Markets for $15 million before the town approved its site plans.

Tuscan Village North will include a Market Basket, a Ford dealership, about

100 luxury townhouses and a 256-unit apartment complex. An additional 160,000 square feet of retail, restaurants and a bank was approved on Sept. 26, Moldoff said.

Moldoff said the townhouses and apartments were sold after the town approved the plans.

Construction began on the dealership this fall and the townhouses are expected to be finished between this fall and next year, depending on sales.

According to a September report, the

developers expect $9.5 million in annual gross tax revenue, an increase in shoppers (an estimated 45,000 cars per Saturday) and many more residents from a total of 650 new dwelling units. Moldoff said there hasn’t been any significant opposition to the project, to date.

The second phase of the project will be in the remaining 120 acres to the south.

That will include a cinema, more dining and retail, a bowling alley, a 150-room hotel and another 300 apartment units. Faro will also

Over in Bedford, construction began this year to create a mixed-use walkable shopping and living area known as Market and Main at 125 South River Road, where Macy’s was recently demolished.

It’s similar to Tuscan Village in that it will have a cinema inside a centerpiece building, above a restaurant and connected to a parking garage.

“Encore has completed their site work,” said Bedford Planning Director Becky Hebert. “And they are stopping additional work on the site until the spring to avoid 16

15 winter construction and they anticipate pulling building permits in the early spring.”

The plan for Phase 1 is to focus on retail buildings first and open them all at once.

The second and third phases will include a hotel, offices and medical offices.

“It’s designed to be like a walkable downtown shopping district with a main street and storefronts that immediately abut the street with nice pedestrian amenities,” Hebert said.

Trader Joe’s was announced as an anchor for the development.

According to the site plan, the cinema (Encore Retail announced a deal with Regal Cinemas in August 2016) will be 55,796 square feet with 1,200 seats. There will be more than 33,000 square feet of restaurant space and 112,791 square feet of retail space. The offices, medical offices and 125-room hotel will each be around 50,000 square feet. Hebert said there will be nine buildings, all told. Hebert said the planning board didn’t hear any significant opposition to the project.

Unlike Woodmont and the Tuscan Village projects, Market and Main does not have any apartment units, and it’s a smaller parcel of land. However, it’s directly abutting another mixed-use project at the former Wayfarer Inn site, where the Whole Foods was built. And the developers are working closely to ensure the two projects merge seamlessly for pedestrians and shoppers. The Whole Foods area development is called Goffe Mill Plaza, and earlier this year developers (HIR Realty and Jiten Hotel Management) changed plans for a 150-unit apartment building to 133 units.

Still, the Market and Main commercial properties are expected to improve the town’s tax revenue, but not right away. The project is located in the South River Road TIF District, according to Hebert. So, for the first several years, the revenues will be used to pay off the bond for road infrastructure improvements.

Similar to Londonderry, these mixed-use projects in Bedford are located off an existing commercial strip not far from a major highway and separate from its quiet bedroom community, which is markedly more rural.

A development project in Hooksett called “Merrimount” has been in the works since it was originally proposed in 2008.

After the Great Recession, many of those plans were put on hold, according to Alden Beauchemin, owner of Keyland Enterprises and the project’s developer. But since the economy has largely recovered, things are getting back on track.

“It’s still alive,” Beauchemin said.

Original plans included a Cabela’s outdoor sporting store, but that deal fell through.

He said it’s still largely in the conceptual stage, but he hopes to start by developing

9.5 acres off I93 Exit 11 at the corner of Hackett Hill and Route 3A, on the west side of the Merrimack River. It will include sites for three or four restaurants, a building with 90 to 100 rooms that could serve as either a hotel or an assisted living facility and a seaplane landing on the river. Beauchemin said they’ve already got state and FAA approval for the seaplane landing, which would provide a northern tourism component.

From there, he hopes to partner with abutting landowners to build out more residential properties in an additional 30 acres.

Unlike other projects like Woodmont, this is not using the mixed-use zoning overlay so far. Instead, the core 9.5 acres is zoned as commercial, which doesn’t include apartments, but does include hotels. The surrounding land is mostly residential, but Beauchemin said he’d like to see some of that converted to mixed-use.

“If you want a development to work, you have to have a residential component,” Beauchemin said.

It’s too early to say how it will affect the tax base, but he thinks any commercial component is bound to be positive for the town.

When the plan was first floated nearly 10 years ago, there were pockets of resistance among Hooksett residents, but the plan was much bigger back then and Beauchemin said they are taking things one step at a time.

The promised land

Kettenbach didn’t have any experience building downtown areas when he started the Woodmont project. He studied them and researched other projects and attended seminars by designers like Shook Kelly and Bob Gibbs of Gibbs Planning.

An earlier design of Woodmont had the Main Street running north to south, until Kettenbach was told by Gibbs, who is doing consulting on the project, that the Main Street should run east to west.

That way, Gibbs told him, both sides of the street have an equal share of sunlight throughout the day.

Some people might get disoriented by massive transformations like these happening in the blink of an eye, but Kettenbach thrives in the ever-changing landscape of this so-far imaginary world.

“I don’t have to do this. I’m 68 years old.

This is a labor of love for me. I like this.

This is a lot of fun,” Kettenbach said.

For a hobby, the project is hard work, and before it’s done it will far exceed its most comparable developments as the most ambitious undertaking of its kind the state is likely to see in a generation.

The hope of many is that it will become a home for both our aging population and a new influx of young professionals.

ARTS Painting Paris

Exhibition features French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

The decadence, eccentricity and intrigue of 19th-century Paris is captured in the Currier Museum of Art’s newest exhibition, “The Paris of Toulouse-Lautrec: Prints and Posters From The Museum of Modern Art.” More than 100 posters, prints and illustrated books composed by French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec are featured in the show, which is on view now through Jan. 7, 2018.

Lautrec lived from 1864 to 1901 and is best known for his innovative commercial images advertising the nightlife establishments and entertainers in Paris at the time, and for his work depicting the culture surrounding Paris’ parks, restaurants Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Aristide Bruant dans son and cafes. cabaret (Aristide Bruant in His Cabaret), 1893, Litho“[His art] tells us so much about that graph.

He captured it so well, and in such The Museum of Modern Art, New York. an interesting and inventive way,” exhibition curator Samantha Cataldo said. “I think that’s why people are still so interested in his work. That’s why you still see his prints hung up in college dorm rooms.

Even more than 120 years later, they’re still great images.”

The collection is drawn from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and is one of the most comprehensive collections of his work ever assembled for public viewing. Because they are light-sensitive, many of the pieces have rarely been seen.

The gallery is roughly divided into six SAMANTHA CATALDO thematic sections of Lautrec’s work: the artist’s life, cafe concert scenes, portrayals of famous performers, images of womOne of the highlights of the collecen, the pleasures of Paris and illustrations tion is Moulin Rouge, La Goulue, painted done alongside composers, editors, play- in 1891, which was Lautrec’s first major wrights and other creative people. poster.

for the popular nightclub Moulin Rouge and shows can-can dancer La Goulue, clad in a strikingly white petticoat, behind her partner, the silhouetted Valentine le désossé.

“People loved it. He more or less became a celebrity overnight,” Cataldo said. “It was such a strong poster and such a big deal that it became an iconic image for both [Lautrec’s] body of work and for that time in Paris.”

Another notable work in the show is Aristide Bruant in His Cabaret, painted in 1893, which was an advertisement for a concert at the Ambassadeurs night club featuring the singer Aristide Bruant.

The image is that of the singer dressed in black, with a black hat and his trademark bright red scarf.

“It’s so bold, yet radically simple with the blocks of color and economy of lines [used to] create the shape and form,” Cataldo said. “His simplified forms approached caricature, but they always went far beyond that. The people of the time could tell immediately who was in the painting because he knew how to capture what the [subject’s] signature features were.”

Lautrec is cited as a major influence for many artists who came after him, Cataldo said, particularly in the realm of advertising imagery.

“Advertising needs bold images that catch your eye quickly. They have to stand out on the street, and his work really did that,” she said. “He was one of the first artists who knew how to do that, and I think that’s why his art has endured.”

The exhibition is accompanied by a series of special events at the museum featuring focus tours, plays, poetry, art demonstrations and a film series exploring some of the many cinematic portrayals of Lautrec and his subjects.

Marple and the band will present a brief history of rock ’n’ roll that condenses several decades of popular music into a few minutes. “Even that may be too long for real music lovers,” Marple said.

As they meet to resolve the matter, their conversation devolves and tensions rise as the parents challenge each other’s viewpoints.

The works of three classical composers will come together when Symphony NH performs “Dvořák New World,” the first concert of its 2017-2018 season, themed “The Year of Beethoven.”

There will be three performances of “Dvořák New World,” on Friday, Oct. 6, Saturday, Oct. 7, and Tuesday, Oct. 10, in Concord, Nashua and Durham, respectively.

The concert opens with Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, followed by Amy Beach’s Symphony in E Minor “Gaelic Symphony” and Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 “From the New World.”

“There is both diversity and unity, which makes these pieces well suited to be played together,” said Robert Hoffman, continuing education coordinator for Symphony NH and double bass player in the orchestra. “They are full of contrasts and dramatic musical language, alternating emotional content and shifting moods and feelings that is all put together very well.”

The Beethoven piece was written in 1807 for Heinrich Joseph von Collin’s 1804 tragedy Coriolan. It musically narrates the story of a military general who is torn between his resolve to go to war and his family’s pleading for him to stay at home.

Beach’s Gaelic Symphony was written in 1894 and was the first symphony composed and published by a female American com“Dvořák New World”

poser. Beach, who was born and raised in Henniker, premiered the piece in Boston in 1896. Symphony NH chose it, Hoffman said, in honor of Beach’s 150th birthday anniversary. The performance coincides with a series of events and exhibits hosted by the University of New Hampshire this fall, which celebrate Beach’s life and work.

“It’s very important that we honor Amy Beach because of her New Hampshire and Boston connection,” Hoffman said, “She’s not as well known as some of the other composers, but it’s also important that we recognize composers who aren’t as familiar, because some of them have wonderful things to say in their music, and Beach is one of them.”

Perhaps the most well-known piece of the concert, Hoffman said, is Dvořák’s symphony “From the New World,” written in 1893, just a year before Beach’s symphony.

“A lot of people seem to know it. Even people who aren’t musicians can hum the famous tune,” he said.

Both Dvořák’s and Beach’s symphonies were inspired by various folk elements; Dvořák, a Czech composer, drew from American folk while Beach, an American composer, drew from Gaelic folk.

“They were very interested in the stylistic ways that folk music expressed people’s emotions and attitudes,” Hoffman said. “They wanted to reproduce the spirit of these songs, so they put their own spin on it and transformed it to be more in line with the type of music they wanted to write.”

While there are no solo instrumental moments during the concert, there are moments in which an instrument is featured for a particular melody. The best example of this, and one of the highlights of the concert, Hoffman said, is a “beautiful, haunting melody” in Dvořák’s symphony, played on an English horn.

“The interpretation of a piece is about how the melodic lines are shaped,” Hoffman said.

“So we pay a lot of attention to the ebb and flow of the melodies. We’re always thinking about what we can do with a melody to give it curve and shape communication.”

A giant pumpkin competition, scarecrow-building and a haunted trail are some of the highlights of the three-day Milford Pumpkin Festival, happening Friday, Oct. 6, through Sunday, Oct. 8, in Union Square.

People from all over New England head to downtown Milford each year to celebrate the Pumpkin Festival — 45,000 people, according to Wendy Hunt, the executive director of the Souhegan Valley Chamber of Commerce.

“You get to come down to the historic oval ... and it’s gorgeous,” Hunt said.

Gorgeous and potentially scary, for those who like a good fright.

The Masonic Lodge will once again erect its Haunted Trail by the river, with a dark tunnel that features scares from makeup-clad spookers (though Hunt said that while the tunnel is frightening, young kids could walk it with their parents).

The other main attractions are, as the event’s name suggests, pumpkin-related.

The giant pumpkin competition will be held at noon on Saturday,

featuring pumpkins weighing in at more than 1,000 pounds. The pumpkins are brought in every year from farms throughout New Hampshire. Hunt said last year’s winner weighed more than 2,000 pounds and broke a state record.

“We usually get five or six of those [huge ones], and it’s just about all we have room for,” said Hunt.

A separate Milford Grown award is given to the heaviest pumpkin grown in town.

For hands-on pumpkin fun, there will be pumpkins covering the community house lawn that kids can paint throughout the weekend.

“It has to be 1,000 pumpkins,” said Hunt.

Chainsaw artist Jim Flis will carve pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns on Saturday, creating realistic faces and detailed scenes on the

pumpkins using only his chainsaw.

Hunt said the festival lends itself to the enjoyment of the fall weather and foliage, and she noted that some people come to enjoy the festivities without spending any money.

“Just walk around and listen to the music, riding the rides, building a scarecrow,” said Hunt.

Food and craft vendors will be on hand for those who do want to do some shopping or have a snack or a meal.

Middle Street, which circles the oval, will have food vendors set up throughout the weekend serving traditional fair food like kettle corn, hot dogs and cotton candy.

“There is more food than you can think of,” said Hunt.

A beer tasting tent will feature a selection of beers from local breweries including 603 Brewery, Smuttynose Brewery and Millyard

Brewery and food from Papa Joe’s Humble Kitchen based in Milford.

Crafters’ booths will be set up on Middle Street, the oval, Emerson Park and the third floor of the Town Hall.

Emerson Park will have rides and activities for kids, including bounce castles and a rock climb wall.

There is a talent show split into two groups for adults and kids.

Hunt said there will be everything from jugglers and acrobats to pet performances and singing.

The winner of the adult competition gets $500 cash and the winner of the kids competition could win prizes like free stays at camps.

This will be the 28th annual Pumpkin Festival. Hunt said at least 40 town organizations help with the event, each one responsible for its own part of the festival so the weekend goes smoothly.

years of people in the community working together to pull this thing off,” said John Whalen, board member and volunteer for the festival.

The festival celebrates New England’s fall foliage from the perspective of a picturesque New Hampshire town, according to Whalen. In fact, the festival is what made Whalen decide to live in War-

ner in the first place.

“We actually attended one of the foliage festivals 18 years ago and it’s one of the main reasons we bought a house here,” said Whalen. “The thing that was so cool is that when you think of a quaint New Hampshire town, that’s what Warner really looks like. Usually, around Columbus Day weekend,

everything is red and gold.”

Early autumn is a great time to work in the garden, and it’s not too early to start putting your garden to bed. I can work early in the morning without layers of wool, and my hands don’t need gloves to stay warm. Too often we gardeners wait until later, when frost is on the garden, to clean up. Start now, do a little each day, and the job will not be onerous.

Start by removing anything that is ugly.

Your bleeding hearts has foliage that is yellow and has collapsed. Cut it out! Peonies may have dark blotches on the leaves, a potential sign of a fungal disease called botrytis, and should be removed.

Anything that looks like it is diseased should not go in the compost pile, but in the household trash or on a burn pile for winter. Be sure to cut right to the ground when removing foliage.

Yes, you have to bend down a little lower, but the closer to the ground, the better. That way you will be more likely to remove any diseased portions, and it will look better in the spring.

I know many gardeners like hand pruners to remove foliage, but I find that a bit tedious.

I like a serrated knife. I hold a handful of tops, and with one swipe of my knife I cut through it all. The same group of stems might take a dozen snips. I’m all for speed and efficiency when working in the garden.

Other techniques? Hedge shears will make quick work of a big clump of iris leaves.

But make sure they are sharp. Modern electric hedge clippers work, too, but I have been known to cut off the cord.

I have one 50-foot bed that is 8 to 10 feet wide. I call it my Darwin bed, as plants compete for space. No weeding. It’s full of tall plants like Joe Pye weed, turtlehead, phlox and more. In late October, but before snow, I will run over the entire bed with a riding lawn mower, blade all the way up, engine racing at full throttle. It works!

You may wish to leave some flowers for the birds. Nice seed pods on purple cone flowers and black-eyed susans will please the finches in winter, and look great above a thin layer of snow. Decorative grasses will sway in the winter wind, and look good for at least a month or two. You can always clean them up in the spring, or during a winter thaw if so inclined (and wearing wool).

As you cut back your perennials you will notice some volunteer plants. Phlox is forever planting itself around my garden, as is great blue lobelia and (dis-) obedient plant. It is natural to say, “Oh, how nice, the phlox is spreading.” But do I really want more phlox?

No! If I did want more, I would have planted more. I’d really like a new color, not more of the same. So I’ll dig it up and put it at the end

This phlox continued to bloom into November, so it was one of the last flowers to be cut back.

of the driveway in a throwaway plastic pot.

“FREE” will stop traffic.

As you cut back, weed! You probably already know some weeds by name, and by root. Some are perennials or biennials with deep tap roots. Others have lateral roots with nodes that send up more weeds. Annual weeds pull up with little effort and have small roots but thousands of seeds. Try not to shake out seeds from weeds that have bloomed and set seeds. They will be back to annoy you for years to come.

I bring two tools with me for weeding: a garden fork and a CobraHead weeder. The fork is great for deep-rooted weeds. I plunge it in or step on it to force it into hard soil, then tip it back, loosening the soil. The weed, along with the deep root, will come right out, particularly if the soil is moist.

The CobraHead weeder has a single curved tine with a widened tip. It has become an essential tool for me; it’s like a curved finger. I use it to get under a weed. It allows me to lift and loosen soil beneath a weed while I tug on the top. If there are lateral roots, I tease them out, tugging and loosening until I have the entire darn thing.

Nothing beats crawling on your hands and knees for finding weeds. You are at their level. But if it’s hard for you to get back up, maybe you’d like to sit on something, particularly if the soil is cold and wet. I sometimes use a 5-gallon pail, but have seen some nice kneeling seats designed for gardeners, and have heard nice things about them. But to each her own.

Mulching can be the last step of fall cleanup. Finely ground bark mulch or chipped leaves can be good for keeping down weeds, but don’t use too much. And try to keep it back from the crown, or center growing area of the plant. You can ruin peony’s ability to bloom by covering it with 3 inches of bark mulch. And avoid buying bagged mulch that is “color enhanced.” It has chemicals in it.

Go get to work on a nice day. It will save you time in the spring.

My family and I have a bedroom set that my grandparents bought when they were first married in the late 1950s. It is a grey hardwood set with a head and foot board, a chest of drawers and a dresser with full mirror.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

In old cars, spark timing probably not cause of poor performance would fire when the crankshaft is still 15 degrees of rotation away from when each piston reaches the top. In other words, at 15 degrees the spark plug would fire early.

In reality, the timing of the spark is supposed to vary. At idle, it’s supposed to be TDC. But as the engine speed increases, the spark needs to fire earlier so that combustion is already in full swing by the time the piston reaches the top. Otherwise, most of the force of the explosion goes out the tailpipe instead of toward pushing the piston down and making the car move.

In older heaps like yours, the spark timing is automatically adjusted by something called an “advance mechanism.” Your El Camino has two: A vacuum advance, which uses the engine vacuum to advance the spark timing, and a centrifugal advance, which uses the rotation of the distributor shaft to advance the timing. And one — or both — of those is broken. I’d put money on the vacuum advance first.

Manufacturers do a lot of experimenting to figure out how the spark timing should be set on any given engine. They’re trying to find a balance among power, economy and emissions. So at TDC, where it’s supposed to be, your emissions are good. Well, as good as they got in 1982, which is bad. But your

power and performance stink because your advance mechanisms aren’t advancing the timing when you rev up the engine.

So rather than have the timing set back to 15 degrees to simulate a working vacuum advance, go to a nearby nursing home and see if you can find a mechanic who knows what a vacuum advance and a centrifugal advance are. Fix them, and that’ll solve all of your performance and timing problems, Scott — until the next problem arises.

Dear Car Talk: I was taught that when changing the oil, it is best to let your truck sit and let the engine cool, so that all the oil drains down into the pan before you drain it out. But I recently read online that you should let the engine run for about five minutes so that the oil heats up and thins out right before you start an oil change. Which way is best? — John Somewhat accurate information online!

I’m stunned. The five-minute rule is a good one. You warm up the oil so it’s less viscous and it flows better. That way, less of the old oil remains inside the engine — stuck to the walls of the oil pan and other engine parts.

Recently circulated oil also picks up more contaminants and holds them in suspension.

So you’ll remove a little more unwanted

gunk when you drain out warm oil.

If you want to be really fanatical about it, John, then you’d want the oil to be fully heated up when you drain it out. In that case, you’d want to drive the car for 15 or 20 minutes and get the engine up to full operating temperature, then pull over and immediately remove the drain plug. Then you’d proceed right to the emergency room after the 300-degree oil ran down your arm and seared a pathway down your right flank.

That’s why we strongly recommend against getting so fanatical about changing your engine oil, and why we endorse the five-minute rule for DIY’ers. The difference between changing warm and hot oil is not worth the trip to the emergency room and the permanent disfigurement.

Alternatively, if you’ve been driving the car and it’s hot, let it sit for at least a good half-hour. Or more. This is the equivalent of sitting in the Jiffy Lube waiting room, catching up on Brad and Jen’s recent breakup in the 10-year-old People magazines.

Then put on a pair of gloves, carefully remove the drain plug and get your hand out of the way. And be especially careful when removing the filter. Even “cooled off” oil still can be pretty uncomfortable.

Dear Car Talk: I have a 1982 El Camino. Two years ago, because it didn’t pass the California smog test, I had to take it to a designated repair shop. As part of the

By Ray Magliozzi repair, the tech told me: “Some fool set the ignition timing to TDC (top dead center), or 0 degrees. I changed it to 15 degrees, where it should be, and it’s running better.” And it did run better. This year I went in for the smog test, and the technician told me, “Some fool set your ignition timing to 15 degrees, so you need to reset it to TDC.” I told him what I had been told two years earlier, and he told me, “The book says it has to be TDC, so you need to set it there or you won’t pass the smog test.” So I had him set the timing to TDC, and I passed the smog test. But the car runs like crap. So I’m thinking about changing the timing back to 15 degrees, where it ran better. I need some expert advice. Thank you. — Scott I’m sure the car’s specification is TDC, or top dead center. That means that each spark plug is set to fire when its piston reaches the very top of the compression stroke. Fifteen degrees before TDC means the spark plugs

Whalen said Saturday’s parade is geared toward kids, with floats designed and made by children. Sunday’s Grand Parade will have fire trucks, a marching band and floats made by sponsors.

Whalen said the Woodsmen games that caught his attention all those years ago are still being held today. Men and women compete in wood-chopping-related events like axe throwing and log sawing. During the axe throw, competitors hurl doubleedged axes at a wooden target.

“They usually put a can of soda in the middle so when it hits a bullseye, it explodes,” said Whalen.

The oxen pulls are another tradition that continues to draw a crowd. Oxen from a local farm drag a metal weighted sled through the dirt in a show of strength.

New to this year’s festival is a beer and barbecue tent, which will be next to the main stage so guests can enjoy their drinks during the weekend’s performances. The beer is provided by Amoskeag Beverages of Bow.

“It was an element that was always missing and people were asking for,” said Whalen.

Other highlights include a 5-mile road race Saturday morning. Whalen said the course has stayed the same for years and many local runners know it by heart. The 1-mile kids’ fun run on Sunday morning has kids wearing costumes and running with their parents.

Throughout the weekend, there will be midway rides for kids.

Musical entertainment includes Kat Wright, a soul and funk musician whose performance on Saturday is the headlining musical event of the weekend, according to Whalen.

Sixty-seven artisans making wooden crafts, postcards, sauces, jams, jellies, mittens, body scrubs, soaps and other New England-based products will be featured at the festival market.

Angela Paris of Manchester is a full-time lifestyle blogger. Her blog is called jugglingactmama.com, and she writes recipes and projects for moms.

Explain what your current job is.

I’m a lifestyle blogger and I write about recipes and crafts you can do, both as an adult and with your children. I have a lot of stuff that’s focused on just moms and also stuff for moms to do with their kids. I really love incorporating my own kids into my posts, so whenever I can do that, I try to do that.

How long have you done this?

I started blogging as a hobby in 2011, after my daughter was born, and it was just a creative outlet. I loved it so much and I hated my full-time job so much that I was like, ‘I have to figure out how I can

do this and make a living.’ So I started creating content, I started connecting with businesses who needed content, whether it was recipes or just images, or whatever it was … so that I could replace my full-time income from my quote-unquote real job.

And I left that job four years ago and I’ve been doing this ever since.

FOOD Chili out

Chili and music festival at Veterans Park

By Matt Ingersoll

News from the local food scene

mingersoll@hippopress.com

By Matt Ingersoll

Whether you prefer a milder flavor or a strong hit of spice, you’ll find a chili that will meet your taste buds’ desires at Intown Manchester’s inaugural Fire in Fall Chili & Music Festival.

You can also get a head start on celebrating Halloween — costumes are encouraged and several Halloween-centric vendors will set up shop — and listen to a full lineup of local bands.

The festival is happening at Veterans Memorial Park on Sunday, Oct. 8, and is free to attend. Chili samples will be available for $2 per tasting and will be at least 4 ounces, though bigger portions will be available as well.

Intown Manchester executive director

food@hippopress.com

• Grand opening at Madear’s: Madear’s (175 Hanover St., Manchester, 206-5827, madears603.com), the only Cajun restaurant in the Queen City, celebrated its grand opening on Sept. 23 with several new menu items for the fall season.

The restaurant, which was started by two friends — chef and mixologist Robb Curry and baker Kyle Davis — had its soft opening on July 18. Some of the more unique menu items straight from the Pelican State that you can get at Madear’s include the deep-fried alligator, the Cajun jambalaya, and crawfish double stuffed eggs. For the fall, Madear’s has introduced new menu items like the roasted beet salad, which is made with beets, Brussels sprouts, arugula and goat cheese, the pulled pork sliders, which are served on homemade biscuits with broccoli slaw, and the black drum fish.

• Italian eats: Enjoy apple cider, gelato, cotton candy, pumpkin painting, field games, music and more at Tuscan Kitchen’s annual Toscana Fest, happening at the Salem location (67 Main St.) on Sunday, Oct. 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event features traditional Italian culture through gelato, paninis and other artisan Italian foods from Tuscan Kitchen and Tuscan Market, alongside live music and bocce on the property’s courts. Also included will be pumpkin carving, hay rides and more.

Local vendors and food trucks will be there to offer various items. Admission is free, with food priced per item and proceeds benefitting the Lazarus House. Visit tuscanbrands.com or call 952-4875.

Sara Beaudry said people can vote on their favorite chilis for the winners to receive bragging rights.

“It’s actually quite a variety of local restaurants, caterers, food trucks … and people from outside [Manchester] who will be making different types of chilis,” Beaudry said. “There will be both meat and vegetarian chilis … with different levels of spiciness.”

Other vendors may present variations on chili, like chili dogs or chili fries, she said.

Beaudry said there have been other chili-themed festivals and competitions organized by the city in the past in the summer, but this is the first one run by Intown

Manchester and the first happening in October. It coincides with the Manchester Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Parade and the beginning of Fire Prevention Week.

“This one is more localized and really meant to focus on New Hampshire chili makers,” she said.

The festival will also feature a beer and wine garden, something not seen at previous chili festivals in the Queen City, Beaudry said.

With the event happening just weeks before Halloween, many of the vendors will include Halloween-themed arts and craftspeople, psychics, paranormal societies and more.

“There isn’t an Intown event or one in Manchester either that’s really Halloween based, so we encourage people to wear costumes,” she said.

Live performers will include The Jimmy Lehoux Band, who will be headlining, as well as Rock Spring, The Southern City Band and Walker Smith.

Beaudry said Intown Manchester is keeping the first festival simple for now but hopes for it to grow over the next few years.

“It’s going to be a great day to bring the family out … and we’ll have it grow and be a larger chili cook-off type of event,” she said.

Buffalo Ranch Slow-Cooker Wings Recipe adapted from Delish

Rea

s

It was the first week of fall and the temperatures were in the high 80s. As much as I wanted to hunker down with some warm comfort food and settle in for some football, it was just too hot.

I nixed everything I wanted to make well before I set foot in the kitchen. Chili and apple pie required too much time in the kitchen; wedding soup and chicken pot pie were faster but, like my other fall favorites, necessitated that the oven or stovetop be on for far too long.

On the verge of ordering takeout, I stumbled upon a recipe for buffalo ranch wings. The recipe was pantry-friendly and sounded simple, and the best part was that the wings were made in the slow cooker.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Wings in a slow cooker? You must be out of your mind.” But bear with me.

Not only were these wings delicious, but they’re perfect for tailgates or potlucks — two of my favorite fall pastimes.

With a bottle of buffalo wing sauce and a packet of dry ranch dressing mix, these wings take on a recognizable but somehow unique flavor profile. The buffalo sauce offers its traditional smokiness and spice while the ranch cools things down a bit and provides underlying notes of dill and some saltiness. By tossing the ingredients into the slow cooker, I had plenty of time to enjoy some of the games or take the kids outside without worrying about what was for dinner.

The key to these wings, though, is finishing them under the broiler or, if you’re tailgating, on the grill. The slow cooker

What a difference fresh-picked makes! does the bulk of the work, so you only need to pop these scrumptious bites under the broiler for about seven minutes — just enough time to give them that great crunch that accompanies truly crispy wings. And, with the cooking liquid from the slow cooker, there’s no need to make a dipping sauce. However, if you just can’t wait to bite into one of the wings, they’re fully cooked and ready to eat in about two hours (time may vary depending on slow cooker), without any time under the broiler.

Normally I tweak recipes or add extra salt or pinches of pepper to taste, but this was one recipe I didn’t really mess with, and I was happy with the finished product. While I skipped adding the chives the recipe called for and added a bit more buffalo sauce, I found the buffalo sauce wasn’t overpowering, and the undertones of ranch snuck into every bite. There wasn’t any need to dip the wings in ranch or blue cheese as they packed plenty of flavor.

And while my husband initially tried to talk me out of using the slow cooker for wings, even he was thrilled with the result. The wings were moist and evenly cooked, and the flavor from the sauce really soaked through, helping to turn this recipe into one of my new fall (and warm weather-friendly) favorites.

— Lauren Mifsud Liberally season wings with salt and pepper and add to slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine buffalo sauce and ranch dressing mix. Pour the buffalo-ranch mix over the wings, stirring to coat. Cook on high until wings are cooked through, between 2 and 2.5 hours. Heat the broiler and line a baking pan with foil or parchment paper. Pour wings onto the tray and broil until crispy, about 7 minutes. Garnish with chives if desired.

New Fall Menu!

Last week’s ridiculous 90-degree weather notwithstanding, it’s now officially fall.

And that means I give you explicit permission to drink fall beers. I’m still not mentally prepared to talk about pumpkin beers just yet, but that’s really more my problem. I am ready, however, to talk about non-pumpkin fall seasonal beers — beers that honor and celebrate the harvest season.

I’m talking about brews with heavier malts, deep amber hues, and complex, nutty, sweet flavors. I really credit fall seasonal beers — and various brown ale styles — for pulling me into the craft beer world to begin with years ago. The smooth flavors and rich malts are downright tantalizing.

These are beers you drink on a crisp, cool evening in your most comfortable armchair as a reward for raking your entire lawn.

These beers are about flavor and complexity and celebration.

Before we became obsessed with hops, I’m pretty sure people liked beers that featured malts. And fall is a reminder that malts are OK. You can still drink IPAs — part of the beauty of IPAs is that you can drink them all year long — but there are other beers and in fall many of those other beers shine in their malty, rich complexities.

Years ago, I remember being excited each fall the first time I’d see a Samuel Adams Octoberfest at my local beer store. It was like a beacon symbolizing that it was time to turn our backs on ultra-light summer beers and turn instead to malty offerings, like Oktoberfest-style beers.

Fortunately, New Hampshire breweries feature no shortage of fall seasonal offerings for all of us to enjoy and explore. Here are five New Hampshire-made fall beers to whet your whistle as you celebrate the harvest:

Fall beers, like the Oktoberfest brews pictured here, feature rich malts and amber hues.

locally produced maple syrup and, at 7 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), is a perfectly warming choice for a cool fall evening.

Octoberfest and the Smoked Festbier

by Flying Goose Brew Pub & Grill (New London): First, I try new Oktoberfests whenever I can and I’m rarely disappointed. Oktoberfest beers boast bold malts and rich aromas. Flying Goose’s Smoked Festbier is particularly intriguing, a “slightly smoky, golden lager” with a lower ABV than the traditional Marzen, the Oktoberfest style.

Stammtisch by Liar’s Bench Beer Co. (Portsmouth): This is another Oktoberfest offering, complete with rich notes of caramel and toffee but without the sweetness.

I’m intrigued by a drier variety of this fall staple. Sometimes that sweetness and that richness can be a bit much, particularly if you’re enjoying the beer with food. On paper, the Stammtisch seems to be an interesting alternative.

Fall Line by Tuckerman Brewing Co. (Conway): This sounds a little different and I like it — an unfiltered “wet hopped harvest ale with an earthy sweet aroma.”

I’m interested to taste how the hops and the sweetness play together. You should be intrigued by that too.

Opa’s Oktoberfest by Moat Mountain Flap Jack by Henniker Brewing Co. Smokehouse and Brewing Co. (North Con(Henniker): A maple double brown ale? Yes way): At Moat Mountain, the brewers focus please. This fall seasonal is brewed with on developing authentic brews, which makes their Oktoberfest offering particularly intriguWhat’s in My Fridge ing. You would note the difference between domestic Oktoberfest-style brews, comJack’s Abby Sunny Ridge Pilsner: When pared to German breweries, such as Spaten or it was literally 90 degrees a couple weeks Paulaner. To me, the malts are even more proback, I picked up a six-pack of the Sunny Ridge so I had something lighter around nounced in the authentic German offerings. and because I thought my wife would like I’ll be on the lookout for this one. it. I think she did, but she did say, “A little strong,” when she tried it. Admittedly, the beer has more character than you might expect from a traditional pilsner — but for me it was an excellent, easy-drinking option for a surprise heat wave.

A nice epic sob-story about the singer’s divorce is the final point to ponder when considering this stuff for your list; metal albums always have more punch when the bandleader’s life is in a temporary state of ruin. In the end, though, it’s a good-not-great mishmash of microwaved sounds stripped from their influences, with singer Brock Lindow nicking everyone from Tom Araya and Staley Hetfield to your basic black-metallers and Cookie Monsters, some nu-metal middle-ground covered while he’s at it. That’s not to say the riffs aren’t heavy — they are, but the stoner factor is a bit lacking, which wouldn’t matter, but to start a ripping-heavy song like “Better to Burn” with disposable Dashboard Confessional chords isn’t my idea of disruptive innovation.

The nom-de-DJ of barelyabove-ground Los Angeles tech emperimentalist Jason Chung, Nosaj Thing is a project that aims to explore the well-covered dualities of man, such as “emotion vs. technology,” “nostalgia vs. right now” and so on and so forth. How he gets there is through innovative hip-hop beatage which in this album’s case is expressed through a lonely, waterlogged pseudo-piano arpeggio decorated with forlorn cheese (“Nowhere”) to begin with anyway. You all know by now I’m not a fan of minor-key depression-ward stuff, but Steve Spacek’s 1970s-soul vocal on “All Points Back To U” is instantly haunting, anchoring down a ghostly array of synth lines that really fit together exquisitely if a bit too Nintendo for my constitution. The big sell here is the single “Way We Were,” featuring the smoky Roberta Flack-ish vocal of Zuri Marley cooing over a brilliantly seductive pattern of bloop-glitch and stifled trap, a no-brainer for after-party chill. A — Eric W. Saeger

• Ah shaddap, it’s those Led Zeppelin wannabes-and-never-wills The Darkness, with a new album to bother me, called Pinewood Smile, due out Oct. 6! These guys have to be getting old by now, because the first time I sputtered a bunch of insults in their direction was in 2004. They have to be getting too old to do this anymore, they have to. But in the meantime, get the barf bag and let’s see what this new stuff sounds like on YouTube. The new single, “All the Pretty Girls,” features a pretty decent guitar sound, and the singer, whatsisname, screams like the guy from Deep Purple used to, during the Civil War or whatnot, but then it becomes Dexy’s Midnight Runners doing emo again, same old thing, and I need the barf bag.

• Wolf Parade is one way of saying “Some bands can’t decide if they want to be Modest Mouse or Gang of Four, and you can usually tell if a band is still fighting over it when they can’t even manage to cobble together a coherent Wikipedia page after 14, count ‘em, years.” It’s also another way of saying, “Hmph, another indie band from Canada, what’ll they think of next,” and that’s where their new album Cry Cry Cry comes in. There were two advance singles to choose from, and unfortunately I chose “You’re Dreaming,” a slightly Buzzcocks-punky song that would have been cool if they’d left out the cheesebag keyboard. But then it would have just been even more generic, so forget it, leave the stupid keyboard in there.

• Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher is still being weird, like when he walked off the Lollapalooza stage after 20 minutes in August, then “made up for it” by releasing the song “For What It’s Worth” the next week. I’m not really “hip” to the gears and cogs of this weirdo’s “relationship” with his fans, but if you’ve put up with him this long, you may as well buy his new LP, As You Were, when it comes out on Oct. 6. Teaser single (the whole album is streaming, but come on, do I look like I want to do that?)

“For What It’s Worth” sounds pretty much like Oasis’s “Wonderwall,” meaning he’s still ripping off that one song his brother wrote, but the hook is weak and I must get away from this song immediately.

• The Black Dahlia Murder are back with more hamsterwheel borderline-math metal, this time with an album called Nightbringers. The title track isn’t very complicated, but the riff is cool. Actually this is like prog-black-metal. Your spazzy kitten might like it, maybe? — Eric W. Saeger

NH Film Festival returns with more than 100 films

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

A short documentary about a taxidermist and her peacock and a feature-length drama starring Willem Dafoe are among the more than 100 films that will be shown at the New Hampshire Film Festival, happening Thursday, Oct. 12, through Sunday, Oct. 15. Film screenings as well as filmmaker panels, filmmaking workshops, parties and other activities will be held at various locations throughout Portsmouth during the four-day event.

Festival Executive Director Nicole Gregg said the New Hampshire Film Festival attracts around 10,000 attendees and is the “largest, longest-running and most prestigious film festival in the state.”

“These are experienced filmmakers, many [of whom] are making the circuit to festivals all over the world and have New Hampshire on their list,” Gregg said. “People come from all over for this festival, some internationally. We’ll be hosting a lot of out-of-town guests, for sure.”

The film lineup includes short films and feature films in a variety of genres, including animation, documentary, comedy, drama, horror, mystery, thriller and others.

More than 30 of the films were produced in New Hampshire or are affiliated with New Hampshire in some way.

One of those films is It’s Criminal, a feature documentary about a group of Dartmouth College students who worked with a group of incarcerated women in Unity, New Hampshire, to write and perform a play based on the women’s lives and experiences.

“It’s about what happens when you bring together people with and without privilege. … It’s a difficult story, but a hopeful one.

They were able to overcome those differences and bonded in this beautiful way,” the filmmaker Signe Taylor said. “I think that when you dig deep into a local story like that, you find one that’s universal. This is a story that’s happening around the U.S, that’s relevant and resonates with people.”

Other New Hampshire documentaries at the festival look at the issue of homelessness (404 Not Found), the life of a local veteran (An American Solo), the Monadnock region’s response to climate change (From Hurricane to Climate Change), a community rallying around a high school principal with ALS (Mr. Connolly Has ALS), stories of people affected by opiate addiction (The Heroin Effect), the collapse of the historic cod population (Sacred Cod:

New Hampshire Film Festival. Courtesy of Michael Sterling Photography.

The Fight for a New England Tradition) and more.

Gregg said this year’s festival will have many interactive opportunities for attendees.

“It’s not just the typical viewing experience; it’s a whole other level,” she said.

“There are so many layers: the films, the panels, the special guests, the networking opportunities, the afterparties, the friendships that are made and the reunions that are had. People will really get to mingle with the filmmakers and ask questions and learn more about the films that goes beyond just seeing it.”

At the It’s Criminal screening, for example, there will be a Q&A panel with some of the women in the film who are no longer incarcerated, Dartmouth College professors and one of the students.

“You’ve just witnessed this really long story about personal change with these characters, and then they step off screen and you get to actually talk to them,” Taylor said. “It’s quite powerful.”

New Hampshire Film Festival When: Thursday, Oct. 12, through Sunday, Oct. 15, all day Where: Film screenings and events take place at Portsmouth locations: The Music Hall (28 Chestnut St.), The Music Hall Loft (131 Congress St.), 3S Artspace (319 Vaughan St.), Moffatt-Ladd House (154 Market St.), and Discover Portsmouth Center (10 Middle St.) Tickets: Day passes cost $25 for Thursday and $40 for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and include entry to every screening for that day, plus admission to all panels and workshops. Weekend passes, which include entry for all four days, cost $100. VIP passes, which include premium and advanced seating at every screening and priority entrance to all ceremonies and parties, cost $225.

Sam Kean is your kinda rambly, very knowledgeable grandfather talking science over coffee in Caesar’s Last Breath, which brings some amazing natural philosophy together with some in-depth people stories.

It starts strong with the incredible sciencey stuff, like “An average molecule of air at 72oF zips around at a thousand miles per hour.” In the endnotes for Chapter 1 there’s a citation of “‘Complete Vaporization of a Human Body,’ Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics 2, no. 1 (2013).” But alas, we are not soundly in Mary Roach territory.

Caesar’s Last Breath is much more history of science than science.

Perhaps I would have expected this if I’d read Kean’s earlier books. From the title, I was hoping he would be decoding the secrets of air for us. Maybe a third or less of the book is actually about air; most is about humans’ attempts over the centuries to figure out air or make it do what they want.

The reader can take home the point that the detailed makeup of air and its components is important — the configurations of molecules in our atmosphere account for why Mount Saint Helens happened the way it did, and why hot air balloons work, and why hurricanes hurricane, and so on. Understanding these things can give us steam engines and fertilizer and anesthesia.

But in Kean’s telling, the science of Mount Saint Helens’ is taken over by a rather long and sad story of a geezer who thought he could withstand its eruption (see Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics reference above).

The wonder of hot air balloons is overshadowed by minutia on how two dudes discovered argon. And the chapter about anesthesia is labeled with a cartoon model of nitrous oxide and titled “The Wonder-Working Gas of Delight,” but it’s a tale of “post-traumatic nightmares of being flayed alive” and Kean’s somber observation, “Personally, I can’t think of any worse torture than anesthesia awareness.”

Maybe they should’ve called it “decoding and being terrified by the secrets of the air around us.”

For all his rambling discourses, Kean does not mince words when he has a point to make — he calls James Watt’s steam engine “a bunch of crap cobbled together” — and once in a while he leaves the details alone: “Now, the physics here gets pretty gnarly (trust me).”

But there is a great deal of infor-

mation here, maybe too much, or too disparate, for one book. It might have worked better as a lot of long magazine articles — here’s a mini dual biography of Lavoisier and Priestley, here’s Alfred Nobel conducting research on explosives, let me tell you about the invention of wrought iron and the building of the Tay bridge, “the Titanic of architecture.”

I had not heard of the Tay bridge disaster — or if I had, I’d forgotten it — and it’s an interesting thing to know about. It just doesn’t fit anything I was hoping to get out of a book with the title of this one. (The bridge collapsed in the wind. Wind — air — there you go. But, I mean, kind of a stretch, right?)

The “Caesar’s Last Breath” reference is to the idea, which I for one first encountered in John Allen Paulos’ 1988 book Innumeracy, that you very likely just inhaled a molecule that was exhaled

by Julius Caesar in his dying breath. It’s a matter of probability and how many molecules of air exist in our atmosphere and how they dissipate. Which is why I expected this book to talk more about air molecules, not so much about how “Caesar fought back at first, but after the first few stabs the marble floor beneath his sandals grew slippery with blood.”

Sam Kean does have a long resume of magazine articles and has logged time with public radio’s Radiolab, which seems just about right for the tone of Caesar’s Last Breath. Taken as separate stories, each one having plenty of colorful tangents and supporting detail, this material would work better. C+ — Lisa Parsons

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

American Made (R)

King and those like Kramer who hold up the glass ceiling. B+ Rated PG-13 for some sexual content and partial nudity. Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris with a screenplay by Simon Beaufoy, Battle of the Sexes is two hours and one minute long and distributed by Fox Searchlight Pictures.

An airline pilot gets tangled up with the CIA in American Made, a Charlie Wilson’s War-ish, true-ish story from the 1980s.

At least as this movie tells it (a caveat for all discussed here), the late 1970s find Barry Seal (Tom Cruise) bored with his TWA pilot gig and making a few extra bucks smuggling Cuban cigars. This legal laxity attracts CIA agent Schafer (Domhnall Gleeson), who proposes that Barry start his own airline service.

His cover will be airline consulting but his real work will be taking surveillance photos of Sandinista military installations. Eventually, his work includes exchanging cash for intelligence from a Panamanian colonel named Noriega (Alberto Ospino). His regular trips to Central and South America also capture the attention of Colombian businessmen, including Jorge Ochoa (Alejandro Edda) and Pablo Escobar (Mauricio Mejia).

Seeing an opportunity for extra cash, Barry decides to smuggle cocaine as a side gig to the CIA work.

Soon, Barry is caught up in a web that includes both the Medellín cartel and the CIA and its attempt to arm the Contras. He runs guns, drugs and eventually even Contra soldiers themselves, secretly brought to his CIA-gifted massive plot of land in Arkansas.

So flush he can’t even find physical space for all the cash, Barry never convinces his wife, Lucy (Sarah Wright), that his work is legal even if he maybe believes that helping the CIA fight communists is a get-out-of-jail-free card.

For a while, it works. A raid by the DEA, ATF, Arkansas state police and FBI agents is smoothed over after a call from the Arkansas governor and Barry walks free. Of course, when we see Oliver North (Robert Farrior) enter the mix, we know Barry’s luck will run out.

Barry Seal, as Tom Cruise plays him, is a light, charming guy. He comes across as a happy goofus, though smart enough to know how to play his role and to stay one step ahead of everyone until he can’t. Cruise shines here in a way that is as good as but refreshingly different from his best roles of recent years — the hustling, middle-aged version of his Top Gun persona, maybe. He seems to be enjoying this character and the character has the energy to pull all the weird-but-true(ish) elements together and make them work as a believable story and Barry work as a believable person.

The movie itself has a light, bubbly feel, which is odd to say about a movie that (not unlike Charlie Wilson’s War) features a story about dodgy American covert action and its horrible unintended consequences. That the movie is able to pile on so much history (the Cold War; politics in Central and South America, and call-outs to Reagan, both Bushes, Clinton, North and Fawn Hall — kids, ask Wikipedia) without getting bogged down or HIPPO | OCTOBER 5 - 11, 2017 | PAGE 50

Flatliners (PG-13)

Medical students play chicken with death in Flatliners, a remake of the 1990 movie.

American Made

too self-important is due largely to Cruise.

Between Barry’s onscreen action and narration that walks us through events, he is in nearly every scene and his sunniness makes the craziness oddly entertaining.

I don’t know how close the story tracks to actual history (Slate has a good look at fact versus fiction) but American Made offers a good study of the mindset of a time and an engaging process story. B Rated R for language throughout and some sexuality/nudity. Directed by Doug Liman with a screenplay by Gary Spinelli, American Made is an hour and 55 minutes long and distributed by Universal Pictures.

Battle of the Sexes (PG-13)

Tennis star Billie Jean King faces Bobby Riggs on the court and sexism off in Battle of the Sexes, a movie centered on the 1973 tennis match.

We meet King (Emma Stone) as she struggles with Jack Kramer (Bill Pullman), head of tennis officialdom, to get women tennis players the same prize money as men. She and Gladys Heldman (Sarah Silverman, whose performance is a pleasure to watch) form their own professional circuit, the Virginia Slims Tour — a scrappy organization fueled in part by King’s fame.

Bobby Riggs’ (Steve Carell), meanwhile, struggles with post-athletic-peak life. Unfulfilled by a boring office job, Riggs plays and bets on tennis games with rich guys, to the dismay of his wife, Priscilla (Elizabeth Shue), who wants him to go to Gamblers Anonymous and settle down. When he sees King’s tour, he thinks not about the politics but the potential for a show: as the male chauvinist, he could gin up excitement for a man-versuswoman (and therefore Men versus Women) tennis match.

Though Billie Jean and her husband Larry (Austin Stowell) outwardly appear to have a more solid marriage than the Riggs’, Bil-

lie Jean faces personal turmoil while on tour.

She meets and begins an affair with Marilyn Barnett (Andrea Riseborough). Beyond what the relationship means to her marriage or the feelings for women she hadn’t previously dealt with, King worries about what, in the bad old days of the early 1970s, this relationship could do to the public goodwill and sponsorships for her fledgling tour.

Battle of the Sexes features solid performances: Emma Stone does a good job conveying King’s ambition, both as an athlete and as a woman seeking recognition, and the swirl of emotions connected to her feelings for Marilyn and for Larry and her fear about what this new relationship could mean for her career and even her relationship with her parents.

Also strong is Steve Carell’s performance.

His Riggs rides the line between sad-sack and huckster optimist. Riggs could have been onenote but Carell makes him a complex person.

And even more than with Riggs, Austin Stowell’s role as devoted husband Larry could have been very thin. Stowell is able to let us see Larry and understand the kind of relationship the Kings have in a way that really brings more poignancy to this section of the story.

As a rousing tale that blends athletic ability with societal change, it’s the romance story line and King’s first steps on the road to being able to live openly that delivers the movie’s uplift. King can’t celebrate the match by publicly kissing her girlfriend but today, according to the end title cards, she happily lives with her partner. That the kind Larry is remarried and has children, to whom Billie Jean is a godmother, makes that “happily ever after” complete.

The other struggle of the movie, the struggle for equal respect for women in the public sphere, is a far less straightforward “win” but interesting in how the movie presents it. The match between King and Riggs, as King even says in the movie, is a show (though one she can’t afford to lose). The real battle is between

Nearly a decade ago, Courtney (Ellen Page) caused a car accident that resulted in the death of her sister. Now a med student, she spends her off-hours studying near-death experiences and trying to learn ... well, here’s my first problem with this movie. Her obsession with the accident and her sister seems to indicate that she wants to find a “heaven,” a place you reunite with loved ones. But her approach is to document brain activity moments after clinical death. When she ropes fellow students Sophia (Kiersey Clemons) and Jamie (James Norton) into a flatlining experiment, she’s all jazzed about finding the scientific basis for stories about tunnels and white lights. This might seem like a minor difference but it feels like the Courtney backstory and the Courtney-spurred plot don’t exactly fit with the rest of the movie. If she just wants to briefly die and look for sis, the movie’s entire plot seems unnecessary.

Anyway, Sophia and Jamie get tricked into watching Courtney die and when her revival doesn’t go as planned, fellow students Ray (Diego Luna) and Marlo (Nina Dobrev) find themselves involved as well. When Courtney comes back, she describes the experience as, like, trippy, man, and she appears to have heightened memory and focus.

Sophia, who feels like she’s sinking at med school, is eager to benefit from some of that brain enhancement, as is the hyper-competitive Marlo. Jamie, a rich party bro, just wants a good high. The students take turns dying — except for Ray, who thinks they’re nuts but feels obligated to keep them from accidentally killing themselves.

The obscure-fact-remembering and Rubik’s-cube-solving awesomeness, however, comes at a price. Those who flatlined are also seeing and hearing things, things connected to people they wronged. Torn up by guilt, they have a hard time telling what’s real and what isn’t. More horrible, though, is the thought that some spooky thing has come with them from the Other Side.

Normally, I tend to think horror movies could examine the “what if this is just in my head” idea longer, because the idea that the strangeness is actually a delusion is way more terrifying than a girl climbing out of the TV. But here, I feel like the attempt to have it both ways — supernatural or psychological thriller, you choose! — muddies the 51

POP CULTURE FILMS

JUDGE THE SHORTS You too can be a movie awards judge by voting for Best Film and Best Actor among the 10 short-film finalists in this year’s Manhattan Short film competition.

Locally this weekend, the shorts screen Friday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 7, at 2 and 7 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 8, at 2 p.m. at NHTI in Sweeny Auditorium, 31 College Drive in Concord. Tickets cost $10.

The films hail from around the globe and include two comedies (Fickle Bickle, Perfect Day), a horror movie in the vein of The Babadook (Behind), two stories based on fascinating events from history (Hope Dies Last; Viola, Franca), an utterly charming action movie based on a true story (Just, Go!), a drama about current events (Mare Nostrum), a bleak but bittersweet sci-fi (8 Minutes), a visually cool animated movie (In A Nutshell) and an action movie that feels like, in the best way, a blend of Guy Richie’s sensibility and the Taken movies (Do No Harm, which features an actress named Marsha Yuan, pictured, whose performance might be my second favorite female action hero of the year after Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman).

Voting worldwide started at screenings last weekend. After movie-goers’ votes are tallied, winners will be announced Monday, Oct 9. See manhattanshort.com.

50 water. The movie could have worked as a “thing from the Other Side” movie or as a “death makes you look at yourself” movie or as a “death changes your brain and now you’re superhuman and also bonkers” movie. Any of those would have worked as a concept (though the general blahness makes me doubt any of this could have worked as a movie). As it is, the movie feels rushed, the

characters feel thin and the suspense is more frustrating than scary or contemplative or whatever it was they were going for. CRated R for violence and terror, sexual content, language, thematic material, and some drug references. Directed by Niels Arden Oplev with a screenplay by Ben Ripley, Flatliners is an hour and 50 minutes long and distributed by Sony Pictures.

Capitol Center for the Arts on Oct. 15. Much of his act focuses on politics, and in a talk given at the Chautauqua Institution in August, he discussed the challenge of mining humor from unreal reality.

“We’re living in fictional times,” he told the audience.

During the interview, Black expanded on this idea.

“As a person, it’s intolerable, but as a comic at least I can escape into my imaginary world and do that,” he said. Doing it requires “trying to find context for this nonsense. Part of the act has become, what is my job supposed to be now? What am I supposed to be doing? I’ve been replaced. Reality and satire are intersected, so how am I supposed to make this stuff funnier?”

He’s among the vanguard of what could be called hard news comedy, humorists who educate and illuminate.

By the Jon Stewart era of the Daily Show, “essentially all we did was collate and basically point out what was going on; reality had already reached a point where it didn’t take much to satirize it,” Black said. “A guy would say, ‘Well, I didn’t say that,’ then we’d play the tape and just comment on that.”

Then came the first Daily Show spinoff, The Colbert Report.

It doesn’t take much to set Lewis Black off — an aggravating news article or a mealymouthed politician on TV can do the trick. He once told comedian Bill Maher that if someone hands him a paper at 10 o’clock with something in it that bothers him, he’ll be off and running in three minutes.

In a recent interview, a seemingly innocuous question about the origins of his popular Daily Show segment Back in Black managed to quicken his blood vessels.

“You picked a scab with that one,” Black said, “and I’m letting it run all over.”

What began with Black doing improv ranting with original show host Craig Kilborn evolved into the show’s longest-running segment. The arrival of two new producers claiming to not understand where Black fit into the show nearly ended it.

“I was upset because I had helped establish it ... and I’m really kind of independent of everything there,” Black said. “They would take stuff I wrote and edit it out, because both producers didn’t get that part of what made me funny. I established myself as a standup comic in terms of attitude.”

Black held on, the producers eventually left, and Black’s trademark causticity continues on the Daily Show, six or seven times a year.

“You can’t beat it,” he said. “It’s like having a commercial — I’m Lewis Black, and I’ll be in your town soon.”

To that end, Black appears at Concord’s

“An extraordinary moment in time,” Black said. “Basically a guy who was improving for all intents and purposes a right-wing talk show host and commentator, and a portion of the public didn’t know it was satire.”

With a trip to New Hampshire upcoming, Black commented on the recent trip of voting fraud czar Kris Kobach to the state.

“I work as an ambassador to the ACLU for voting rights, and I believe in voting rights,” he said. “Yesterday, I read there is a better chance of being hit by lightning than committing voter fraud, so that’s really all you need to know.”

It wasn’t all he had to say on the topic, though.

“Forty-two percent of the American people voted last time, and you’re going to tell me we have people going, ‘I can’t wait to vote three times’? Just because he says it, doesn’t make it real,” he said. “Every attorney general from both sides have said there’s no fraud in their state. What needs to be done is figure out how to make it easy to vote, how to secure our vote. Why not worry about the Russians hacking our machines, worry about the goddamn machines we’re voting on? You’re wasting time, money and energy.”

Black is sputtering and spitting fire, at one point trying for a New Hampshire appropriate “snakes in the woods” analogy that doesn’t quite take.

“I can’t come up with a metaphor,” he said in exasperation. “It came up over the horizon, but it died in my arms.”

It’s a bit like listening to his act, typically improv that begins with a few toggle points.

“I basically write on stage and then I keep what I like, throw out what I don’t and come back the next night,” he said. “I’m creating new stuff that I’ll be doing in New Hampshire by the time I get there. So I’m kind of going on stage now. I’m saying, ‘Here’s something I’m thinking about’ — like snakes in the woods.”

to work for art’s sake, not for personal fame.

Personal fame is secondary, at best.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) These are times of commerce more than of art. If art can be made profitable commercially, well and good. If not, it starves in a garret along with the artist. Commerce and art will combine nicely.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Stories of kings and their magnificence breathe ever of romance, but kings could not be magnificent were it not for the labour of the conscientious common people, those who go daily to their task, asking nothing better than to live their little span in humble endeavour. You can have humble endeavor and romance.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Identifying tapestries is like playing a game, like the solving of a piquant problem, like pursuing the elusive snark. I know of no keener pleasure than that of standing before a tapestry for the first time and giving its name and history from one’s own knowledge, and not from a museum catalogue or a friend’s recital. It does feel nice to know things.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) What place had an acre of tapestry in these little rooms?

How could yards of undulating colour hang over walls that were already overlaid with the most exquisite low relief in wood that has ever been carved this side of the Renaissance in Italy? No place for it whatever. So, out with it — the fashions have changed. And they’ll change again.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) When night is well started in its flight … one lover of the silence and the solitude, loath to give away to soft sleep the quiet hours, this one remains behind when all the others have flown bedward, and to him the neighbouring tapestries speak a various language. A little quiet time would be beneficial.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Talent there must be, but even that is without avail if patience lacks. It’s a virtue.

Quotes are from The Tapestry Book, by Helen Churchill Candee, born Oct. 5, 1858.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) He was a man of talent ... and as such must be untrammelled; but here was given him a work where personal discretion was not allowed, where he must copy tone for tone, shade by shade, the myriad indefinite blendings of the brush.

It is this practice, pursued to its end, that has made of the tapestry weaver a mere part of a machine, and tapestry-making a lost art ….

Don’t let anyone stifle your creativity.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) So long as one word continues to have more than one meaning, civilised man will continue to gain false impressions. It’s OK to ask for clarification.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Tapestries are not to be bought lightly, as one buys a summer coat, to throw aside at the change of taste or circumstance. They demand more of the buyer than mere money; they demand that loving understanding and intimate appreciation that exists between human friends. Put some thought into your shopping.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) We, with our minds stocked with the history and romance of tapestry, yet want to know just how it is made in every particular, just how the loom works, how the threads are placed. Go ahead, show them how you do what you do.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) It is no small satisfaction in our work-a-day life to live amidst beauty, to be sure that every time the eyes are raised from the labour of writing or sewing — or of bridge whist, if you like — they encounter something worthy and lovely.

Surround yourself with art.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Regardless of what a man’s longing for fame may have been in the Middle Ages, he let his works pass into the world without a sign upon them that portrayed their author. … The artist was content to sink individuality in the general good,

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Audacious

Kristi Lyn Goss, 44, former administrative assistant to the Garland County (Arkansas) judge, went all out when she racked up about $200,000 worth of debt on the county credit card between 2011 and May 2016, according to The Hot Springs (Arkansas) Sentinel-Record. Among the many items Goss purchased on the county’s account were tickets to Arkansas Razorbacks games, sequined throw pillows and a tuxedo for her dog. Goss pleaded guilty on Sept. 11 to six felony fraud counts; her sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 22. Garland County Judge Rick Davis issued a statement at Goss’s arrest noting that he had “inherited” her from a former judge.

Incumbent mayoral candidate Charles Pender erected his campaign signs in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, on Aug. 30, but when he woke up on Aug. 31, he found that they had been vandalized — with hot dogs. CBC News reported that someone had cut round holes in the signs and inserted hot dogs to look as if Pender was smoking a cigar. Pender called it “minor mischief” but noted that the signs are expensive. He called the police, but he feels it’s unlikely the frank bandit will be caught. He hopes to turn the incident into a good laugh with a “bun-raiser” later in the election season.

Smooth reactions

A movie stuntman in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England, put his skills to work when a potential buyer of his Mercedes Benz tried to take off with the car on Sept.

13. The Telegraph reported that Matt Spooner met the “buyer” and gave a test drive in the car, but the thief wouldn’t get out and started to take off. So, Spooner told reporters, “I ran round to the front and asked him politely to step out. I then ended up on the front of the vehicle and it began to move.” The driver entered a highway, but when he finally slowed down, Spooner let go and “skidded off to the side of the curb,” suffering cuts It’s complicated As Hurricane Irma bore down on Florida and bruises to his face.
