Despite being called names like RINO (Republican in name only) by some who feel that I’m not Republican/conservative enough, for decades I have remained a member of the Republican Party. In fact, from time to time, members of the Democratic Party try to persuade me to switch my affiliation. But I have remained steadfast despite often feeling that the party and I were often not on the same page. I remain as uncomfortable with the far left as I do with the far right. In the recent presidential election, I voted for neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton. And, despite my concerns about the president, he and Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan scare me far less than Breitbart’s Steve Bannon.

As unconventional and awkward as our president often is, I believe that he is not a conservative ideologue, and that’s OK with me. Trump doesn’t care where his wins come from as long as he is winning. It’s becoming clear that he would be quite satisfied in passing large legislation like health care, tax reform, immigration reform and infrastructure, even if it meant doing so in a bipartisan fashion. It seems likely that if those big policy items are passed into law, they will not receive the support of the far left or the far right and, that, too, is OK with me. But that’s not what Steve Bannon wants. He wants Republicans who think like I do (e.g. Bob Corker, Lindsey Graham) out of Congress and has sworn to primary them in upcoming elections.

Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, who I am not a fan of, accurately said that we’ve tried that tactic a few years ago by nominating far right-wing folks like Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell and Todd Akin only to see them lose in the general election.

I don’t want more of these folks in D.C. and hope that Americans are not so angry at the folks in Washington that they will vote out elected officials who are the salvation, in my eyes, of not further dividing our country.

Recently, Steve Bannon supported Alabama right-wing Judge Roy Moore against Luther Strange, the candidate supported by Donald Trump. Despite Strange’s having the endorsement of the president and significantly more funding, pistol-packing Judge Roy won the primary. But now we see in a recent Alabama poll Judge Roy in a tie with the Democrats’ nominee. Will the Republicans, once again, commit political suicide by nominating far right folks who are likely to lose in the general election?

I want our country coming together as much as possible and I fear that the Bannon folks will only divide us more.

NEWS & NOTES Sununu gives support to Indonesians

On Friday, Oct. 20, a U.S. judge in Boston federal court heard arguments over the pending deportation of a community of Indonesians who have been living in the Dover area. Reuters reported Chief U.S. District Judge Patti Saris said she would consider whether she has the authority to further postpone the deportations of 47 individuals.

A group of about 69 Indonesian Christians arrived legally in the U.S. in the late 1990s fleeing religious persecution. Eventually their legal status lapsed but in 2010 they began to work openly with authorities with regular check-ins and a promise of protected status. But the Trump administration ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to do away with all exceptions. Saris said at the hearing that the government broke a promise to these individuals. On the same day as the hearing, Gov. Chris Sununu sent a letter to President Donald Trump pleading on the Indonesians’ behalf. In the letter, he said their applications for asylum were ultimately rejected “for what appear to have been mostly technical deficiencies.” He asked the administration to reconsider the decision to deport them and find a resolution that would allow them to stay. He said the Indonesians have had children while living here. While the children are American citizens, many would be leaving with their parents to go to what is a strange country to them, Sununu said.

Child care rules

Attempts by the state to update child care licensing rules were delayed due to pushback from opponents in the community, NHPR reported. The Department of Health and Human Services is trying to change the rules, which haven’t been significantly updated since 2008, to be in line with federal grant requirements. Opponents said the proposed rules were micromanaging things like sunscreen application and screen time. A grassroots campaign of day care providers called Keep Our Doors Open gave testimony at a recent hearing of the joint legislative rules committee. The committee voted to send DHHS back to redraw the rules. Another hearing is set for November.

Charities merge

Two charities helping homeless people in Manchester are set to merge. Families and Transition and New Horizons will keep their respective names in the areas where they are already well known, but as of Jan. 1, 2018, they’ll be the same organization, according to a press release. The organizations hope the merger will eliminate gaps in services, scale existing programs and integrate overlapping services. Families in Transition is raising money to help with merger costs.

Deals for Manchester

Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas has secured two deals for the city, both announced on Oct. 17. According to press releases, Manchester received a commitment from Gov. Chris Sununu of $150,000 in state funding to help with the Safe Station program. According to the release, about 65 percent of the people suffering substance abuse disorders who seek treatment at the city’s fire stations are from outside Manchester. Another deal with BFHJ Clean Energy will set up a 25-year power purchase agreement from a new solar array that promises to supply 25 percent of the city’s energy needs and save $3.3 million for taxpayers.

Both the Safe Station funding and a solar project were goals expressed

by Gatsas’ opponent in the Nov. 7 election, Joyce Craig.

Advocacy definition

A proposed change to the law requiring advocacy groups to register with the state and file expenditures would expand which groups would have to register. The AP reported the House will vote on the bill, which passed the Senate in February, without input from the House Election Law Committee. The committee could not agree on whether to recommend the bill and voted 10-10 on the matter. The bill would require organizations to register with the state if they spend $5,000 per year or more on communication that mentions a candidate within 60 days of an election. The full House will take it up next session.

1st District candidates

Democrat and former county attorney Lincoln Soldati announced his bid for Congress in New Hampshire’s 1st District, the AP reported.

HIPPO | OCTOBER 26 - NOVEMBER 1, 2017 | PAGE 4

With Democratic Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter’s announcement that she will not run again, the 1st District seat is now an open race.

Soldati said he is refusing all donations from corporate PACs and Washington lobbyists. He previously served nine years as Strafford County Attorney and also served as the mayor of Somersworth. Another Democrat, former Marine officer and VA administrator Maura Sullivan is also running, the Union Leader reported. She moved the Portsmouth earlier this summer but the Illinois native says she intends to become a permanent resident.

Bump stocks

A New Hampshire House committee rejected the late filing of a bill that would have banned the so-called “bump stock,” the rifle attachment that was used in the Las Vegas shooting, making a semi-automatic essentially a fully automatic rifle. Democratic leaders proposed the bill and sought permission for filing after the Sept. 22 deadline. The Republican majority committee denied that permission.

The bill can still be submitted through the Senate, which has a filing deadline of Nov. 2.

UNH poll

The University of New Hampshire Survey Center released a new poll gauging voters’ opinions about the 2020 presidential primary. Nearly all Democrats (94 percent) are still undecided on who to support.

When provided a list of names, 31 percent chose Bernie Sanders, followed by Joe Biden (24 percent) and Elizabeth Warren (13 percent).

ELDERLY AND DISABLED

A small earthquake was recorded in Sanbornton on the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 17, the AP reported. The magnitude 1.9 quake was centered 3 miles west of the town proper.

Residents expressed concerns about noise and traffic caused by the concert. Speedway representatives said noise studies concluded a concert would be comparable to a Nascar race.

The state Department of Health and Human Services is combining elements of three offices within the department to form the Division of Long Term Supports and Services, according to a press release.

It will include the Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services, the Bureau of Developmental Services and Special Medical Services.

The measure passed after lengthy testimony, NHPR reported. The cost of the procedures was already factored into the rates negotiated with managed care companies.

STEVE KENDA

Steve Kenda, a North Hampton small business owner and past Republican candidate for state senate and governor, was appointed to the Seacoast Cancer Cluster Commission by Gov. Chris Sununu earlier this year. But after he wrote an op-ed piece denying the existence of a cancer cluster, Sununu removed him from the 21-member commission, the AP reported. Sununu said he removed Kenda because he’d become too much of a distraction. The state Department of Health and Human Services has been investigating the cancer cluster for years, after it determined that an improbably high concentration of rare pediatric cancers was localized in the seacoast region.

When the first rumblings were heard that New Hampshire officials were working on a proposal for the highlysought-after Amazon second headquarters location, it was largely met with a mixture of tepid excitement and skepticism.

How, after all, can New Hampshire compete with other metropolitan centers that can offer such significant tax breaks? It turns out, the Granite State had an ace up its sleeve.

New Hampshire’s secret weapon is a bill that passed largely unnoticed and was signed into law by Gov. Chris Sununu on June 29. House Bill 316, proposed by Rep. Frank McCarthy of Conway, makes is possible for communities to offer property tax breaks of up to 50 percent for up to a 10-year period. Previously, this was only possible in northern Coos County.

The idea is to attract businesses to build in the state.

The bill took effect on Aug. 28, and only a small handful of communities have looked into using the tax incentives since then.

When Sununu released the state’s proposal for Amazon to locate its second headquarters in Londonderry, as part of the latter phases of the Woodmont Commons development, the main text of the multi-page document does not make any mention of this bill.

In fact, officials chose instead to highlight New Hampshire’s built-in low taxes and absence of broad-based income and sales taxes. They further criticized other cities for offering tax breaks as a “gimmick.”

While New Hampshire won’t be offering any additional tax breaks as a state, the town of Londonderry very likely would.

In a letter from Londonderry Town Manager Kevin Smith to Amazon, attached to the proposal, he talks about the “shovel ready” real estate near I-93 that will have its own dedicated exit built.

He wraps up by saying, “Finally, as an added incentive, the Londonderry Town Council is willing to offer Amazon a negotiated multi-year property tax break by taking advantage of a new law signed

by Governor Sununu this past year.”

The hope is that while Amazon gets a break for one to 10 years, the town reaps the benefits in perpetuity after that period.

500,000 ft

Proposed Amazon headquarters location.

Smith said he let the state know about the Woodmont Commons location soon after Amazon announced it was looking for a second location in September.

“At the same time I had been talking with the town council about taking advantage of that legislation … and they were all in favor of it,” Smith said.

Woodmont Developer Michael Kettenbach said he was notified by Sununu that the site was selected a week before the public unveiling of the proposal.

Smith said the state’s plan was to provide a 30,000-foot-high overview in its initial offering and get into some of the details and dangle some of the carrots like the community-level tax breaks if it gets into the second round.

He said he thinks the incentive would be hard to beat, but the specific details would have to be negotiated with Amazon and the company would have to do its own math to compare it to other offers.

Priorities

Amazon plans to invest $5 billion and hire 50,000 people at its new headquarters. In its request for proposal, it says it wants to be about 30 miles from a population center, within 45 minutes of an international airport, one or two miles from a major highway and have access to mass transit on site.

The Londonderry site doesn’t have access to mass transit and is about 40 miles from Boston, but the RFP also said

a tax friendly environment will be an important factor.

“A stable and business-friendly environment and tax structure will be high-priority considerations for the Project.

Incentives offered by the state/province and local communities to offset initial capital outlay and ongoing operational costs will be significant factors in the decisionmaking process,” the RFP states.

Property taxes in New Hampshire are very important to communities that have little other sources of revenue from which to fund its public services. So offering tax breaks is often unfeasible. But Londonderry was the fastest growing town in 2016 with several businesses moving into industrial parks near the airport. And with the promise of mixed-use and residential expansion in the Woodmont Commons development, it’s expected to have a bountiful tax base with the wiggle room to offer a significant incentive.

“For each of the last three years, our operating budget has grown,” Smith said.

He said they’ve added policemen, fire trucks, personnel at town hall and built a public works garage and an addition to a senior center.

“Yet, in those three years, the tax rate has gone down on the town side every single year. And that’s largely because we’ve been growing the tax base,” Smith said. “As such, we’re in a position where we have one of the lowest tax rates in our whole region. So we can afford to throw out incentives to get companies to come in, because we’re KEVIN SMITH not starving for the tax money right now.”

The state proposal also made mention of plans to connect commuter rail from Massachusetts up to Nashua and Manchester.

More than 100 cities across the country are competing for this bid, CNBC reported, including Boston, as well as Worcester, Fall River and New Bedford, Massachusetts.

We’re in a position where we have one of the lowest tax rates in our whole region.

First of all, can you tell me a little bit about your background and, specifically, how you got involved in refugee resettlement?

About three years ago, I was transitioning. I was with a … network of schools called the Cristo Rey Schools. … These are schools started by the Jesuits and the students worked to earn tuition. I was with the schools for 18 years in different capacities, running a school in Boston for the last six years of it. … We served immigrants … lots of people from Latin America, and when I was a young man, right out of college, I was a Jesuit international volunteer in Tacna, Peru. And I taught English and I worked with street kids and I started a program called the Center for the Working Child. So I have a long history of working with immigrants. Refugees are kind of a subset of immigrants and I had always been fascinated by the refugee story [and] the fact that there’s lots of refugees in the world.

Let’s talk about the event that’s coming up on Nov. 2. Can you talk about what it will feature and what the goal is behind it?

We have a couple goals in mind with these events. … We decided in the past year or so, since the election, we said, ‘Look, we’ve got to get out and we’ve got to educate people about our mission. We’ve got to invite people into our space when we can.’ … So we have set up a series of awareness activities around the region. We initiated something called “Suitcase Stories,” and Suitcase Stories are stories by our folks who we serve plus other people that are immigrants and refugees. These are live events where people tell their story to a live audience. … We did one in Manchester on Sept. 21; we did a bunch in Massachusetts and we probably 1,600 to 1,700 people at all of these events. … We had an open house called “Manchester: A Home for All,” last February, that drew three or four hundred people. … This is first and foremost a chance to raise awareness about who we are at the International Institute of New England but to also raise awareness about immigrants and refugees. … There are people who fear refugees, there are people who feel refugees are going to do terrible things in the United States or that refugees are dependent on WHAT ARE YOU REALLY INTERESTED IN RIGHT NOW?

I have three kids and their ages are 7, 9 and 12, so I spend a lot time doing things with [them]. … [And] I’m a big Game of Thrones fan.

What do you know about the history of refugee resettlement in New England and in New Hampshire, specifically?

The United States has been resettling refugees in one form or another since the end of World War II, when the United States passed what’s called the Displaced Persons Act to help people who were displaced by World War II find homes here in the United States. … In 1980, the United States passed the Refugee Resettlement Act, and that act allowed refugees to come into the United States through a formal program in which the United States government will work with community … organizations like ours to welcome refugees to the United States. … A woman named Anne Sanderson [who] was working as an outreach coordinator in the 1970s, 1980s ... started receiving phone calls from people saying, ‘We want to resettle people who were displaced because of the Vietnam War. …

Some of them had fought with U.S. troops on the side of South Vietnam, some of them were from Cambodia. So Anne started, through her church, just receiving people and then placing them … kind of out of her house [in Manchester]. By 1987, it was formally called the International Institute of New Hampshire and they were part of our national network.

Can you share any anecdotes from more recent refugee stories?

I remember this [Syrian] mom, I greeted her at the airport with her two sons. … The war happened in Syria, they had no place to go, they went … to Egypt, they stayed there for a few years. It was hard for her kids to get an education, it was hard for her to find her way. She couldn’t resettle in Egypt, become a citizen of the country, get full legal rights, and she came to the United States with her two boys. … They had lost everything in the war. … We’ve helped her get a job, we helped her kids get into school. … We put them in an apartment ... we put the mother through an English program ... we enrolled her in a healthcare plan, we enrolled her in all the public benefits to which she’s entitled. …

That’s what we do. — Ryan Lessard

School test scores down

New Hampshire’s standardized test scores are slightly lower than they were last year. The AP reported proficiency in English and math showed declines in grades three through eight, where students took the Smarter Balanced tests. Smarter Balanced tests assess students based on the Common Core state standards. There was a three-point drop in English scores and a two-point drop in math. According to the story, state education Commissioner Frank Edelblut said every state that took the test except for California saw similar declines.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: As administrators are scratching their heads over these test results, the state will have to adjust to a new standardized test it’s creating for elementary students next year. It’s still not clear if scores from the new tests will be comparable.

New indie bookstore

A new independent bookstore is coming to downtown Manchester at the old Alpha Loft space. In an email from spokesperson Liz Cipriano, the store, called Bookery Manchester, was described as an independent bookstore “with bestsellers, local focus, politics, art and complete with a children’s room.” There will also be a cafe and events year-round with author signings. The opening is scheduled for spring 2018. Dyn founder Jeremy Hitchcock is involved in the project.

The state’s congressional delegation made a joint request that the women’s clinic be moved to the first floor and given its own entrance. Acting director Al Montoya drew up plans, according to the story, and is awaiting approval from the regional VA office. The new first-floor clinic would be opened in one or two years.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Several female veterans complained that going to the sixth floor placed women with military sexual trauma in uncomfortable situations such as when riding in an elevator with men.

According to a press release from Airbnb, the state and the company have reached an agreement on how to tax people who put their rooms up for temporary stays. Under the “Voluntary Collection Agreement,” the company will collect the state Meals and Rooms taxes on behalf of hosts and remit them to the state. Before the deal, Airbnb hosts had to file state paperwork themselves. “We are thrilled to partner with New Hampshire to ensure that our host community contributes its fair share of taxes,” said Josh Meltzer, the head of Northeast Public Policy for Airbnb.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: New Hampshire hosts had 150,000 guests over the past year, which was an 87-percent increase over the year before. There are 2,600 Airbnb hosts in the state.

Is our way of business!

It’s rare that a season’s big story shifts in the blink of an eye. But that happened Tuesday, when the story going into the Celtics season opener went from “bright prospects ahead” to “down goes Gordon Hayward five minutes into Game 1.” BOOM! Hayward writhing on the floor in pain with a gruesome season-ending dislocated ankle and fractured tibia was hard to look at. It took the wind out of the sails of many with high expectations for an exciting year in Celtics Nation. Instead, Wednesday’s Boston Globe headline said what many felt: “A season that is broken and unfixable.” As reality set in, beyond the obvious concern for Hayward, a range of side stories were sparked.

What type of rehabilitation would he have to endure? And, whether they want to admit it or not, will he ever be the same player after that injury?

First, I can’t tell you how much the competitor in me hates that Globe headline and the column under it written by the Chicken Little of sports writing, Concord Monitor alum Chad Finn. Yeah, great idea — let’s just give up. It speaks to two things: a quitter’s mentality and how much you miss if winning is all that matters.

Yes, I was jacked and pumped for the winning. But let’s get real. They’ve won just one title in 31 years. So it’s not like when Larry Bird went down in 1988 after being in five Finals in six years. Hopefully the wounded Cs respond to adversity like the 2008 Patriots. They didn’t win the SB or even make the playoffs. But, unlike the Colts going 2-14 without Peyton Manning in 2011, they didn’t fold when Tom Brady was lost in Week 1. Instead they regrouped behind Matt Cassel and went 11-5 in a season dripping with the DNA that’s made them great for 17 years — toughness, grit, resilience and smarts. The Celtics

Jayson Tatum: Another was losing Jae Crowder, making the bench too thin. Now Tatum will need to score more than originally expected. But they also need scrap from him in Hayward’s spot on defense. That’s why averaging nine rebounds per in his first three games was good news.

Marcus Smart: To those who love shooting he’s not their guy. To me, he is what he is — living testimony that shooting is overrated. He’s Denny Johnson-like. He doesn’t get every rebound, but he gets the rebound and is a bricklayer all still want on the floor in the fourth quarter because he makes big plays with his tenacity.

Jaylon Brown: I’ll bet he comes faster than most think. With his long first step he’ll take into traffic at the rack and get to the line. I like that. He needs to improve his outside shooting and consistency. He’s also a very mature 20, with leadership skills written all over him. I’ll be interested to see how that evolves.

Marcus Morris: I’m curious to see whether he’s as good defensively as billed, and whether he can become a better rebounder than his numbers suggest. If yes and yes, they’ve got what they need. If no and no, he’s a salary cap slot to use in a deal for a rebounder like Orlando’s 12.5 and 10 inside scoring big Nikola Vucevic.

Brad Stephens Impact: I don’t like going overboard on the Coach Stephens thing. But show me a guy that he’s had who did not get better after joining his team. OK — James Young. But while Isaiah Thomas is made at the C’s, someone should point out how much money he made because of the improvement made under Stephens. If still in Phoenix, he’ll be a $10 million per guy and sending texts that he doesn’t want to be there. Ditto Crowder, Avery Bradley and Evan Turner.

A job well done is Irving and Morris becoming more complete players, growth from the kids and 45 wins.

are an NBA version of that, making 20172018 now about character, team culture and how Brad Stephens leads them through adversity.

So here’s my guide for how to still enjoy the season.

Hayward Prognosis: Out for the year and who knows how long after that. Bad leg breaks have a bad history — Sam Bowie, Bill Walton, Joe Theismann. But Paul George had his own horrific break and was back in form a year after his Olympics injury.

What Does This Mean to 2017-2018: They’re in the pack with Washington, Charlotte, Milwaukee and Miami fighting for a playoff spot using their young kids more than they wanted.

How to Look at Things Going Forward: If Hayward comes back strong, it just delays the rise. So there is a lot to see. Just not what was expected. I suggest we all adjust accordingly.

The “Go With What They Have” Option: Live with ups and downs from Jayson Tatum and Jaylon Brown getting big minutes and don’t dump the Lakers/Kings pick for help.

The “Can Danny Ainge Get Meaningful Help” Option: The good news is they have enough ammo in future picks to make most any deal. The bad is the bench is littered with low-end salaries so they may have a tough time balancing off cap hits. If the right deal presents itself now for a longer-term acquisition at the right cost, do it. But the likely best available fixes are 2018 free agents who’ll be traded (or released) by non-contending clubs in February. But Danny can’t panic for shortterm fix in lieu of long-term impact as Red did over Bird in ’88.

Kyrie Irving: One of my many objections to the big trade was that Danny ripped the heart out of his team by trading Isaiah Thomas. Irving has been impressive saying all the right things as I warmed to the trade. But this situation cries out for Thomas-like leadership, and Irving’s never done that before. It’ll be interesting to see what, if any, leadership role he carves out.

Good Knight for Trevor The Big Story: Nice game from Amherst’s Trevor (good) Knight in the U’s 40-17 thumping of Towson State in Durham on Saturday. Actually, it was more like a sensational quarter of football with the rest being OK. But in that second quarter Knight threw four TD passes to blow the game open, with two (6 and 4 yards) going to Milford’s Nick Lorden. The pair got help from freshman DeUnte Chatman, who ran for 187 yards on 22 carries. Knight finished 11-19 overall for 197 yards and those four TD passes.

Sports 101: The first 21 people on the all-time list for most NFL fumbles are all quarterbacks. Who is 22nd on that list and the fumble leader among non-QBs? Hot Ticket: The winner gets the last playoff spot in Division I Football’s North/ East bracket and the loser doesn’t in the matchup at Gill Stadium this Friday, Oct. 27, between Bedford and Central. Game time is 7 p.m.

Big Numbers of the Week: The scoring splurge continues in high school football, where 14 of the 28 games played on Friday and Saturday had at least one team scoring 41 points. That included Salem’s 60-14 win over Nashua North, Winnacunnet downing Central 42-21, Exeter running past Memorial 47-7 and Bedford’s 42-7 win over Dover.

The Numbers

2 – touchdown scores of over 60 yards involving QB Ben Eichman in Merrimack’s 14-0 win over Timberlane when he ran 65 yards for a TD and hooked up for a 60-yard catchand-run score with Adam Thornton.

3 – saves by Angie

Tip of the Cap: To longtime UL scribe John Habib, who left the paper a few weeks back. After covering and watching local sports back into the 1960s, enormous institutional knowledge went with him. A big loss for any local sports story requiring historical perspective. A tip of the cap for a job well done.

Sports 101 Answer: I’m sure it breaks the heart of New Hampshire’s leading Dallas Cowboys fan, Commissioner of New Hampshire Emplyment Security George Copadis, that the leading non-QB on the all-time fumble list is Cowboys great Tony Dorsett. Which makes you wonder what Coach B would have done to a guy with a whopping 90 fumbles after he benched Mike Gillislee for two full quarters after his first one ever with the Patriots two weeks ago in New York.

On This Day – Oct. 26: 1931 – Skinflint owner Charles Comiskey dies 12 years after tempting eight of his Chicago White to throw the 1919 World Series. 1951 – Joe Louis’ aspirations of regaining the title are stopped by reigning champ Rocky Marciano in their bout at boxing mecca Madison Square Garden. 1980 – If you think Tom Brady is having it rough in the pocket this year, on this FREE Handful of day in 1980 the St. Louis Cardinals defense sacked Baltimore a record-tying Coins forquarterbacks All Children 12 times.

The small classes were a perfect fit, it created an environment where I could express myself and the professors could really listen to what I was thinking. Plymouth is the kind of school that sticks, because you fall in love with it, and I reflect on my experience there, quite often in business, politics and everyday life …”

Marc Iavaroni: Goon squad banger promoted to starting PF with the “fo, fo, fo” Philadelphia 76ers after their huge 1983 trade for Moses Malone, which was done to get more juice from their bench while figuring with Moses, Dr. J and Andrew Toney starting, who needs more offense then. It worked, as Philly lost just one game on the way to the title.

Red’s 1988 Mistake: After Larry Bird went down for the year six games in, Red Auerbach traded for Sacramento bigs Ed Pinckney and Joe Kleine for Brad Lohaus and now GM Danny Ainge. The Kings got 18.5 points per game from Danny, while the C’s got doofus minutes from Big Joe and tepid play from the infuriatingly lax easy Ed. But Reggie Lewis emerged to match Danny’s 18.5 per game, so why didn’t Red just put Reggie in Larry’s spot and keep Danny?

2008 Patriots: The greatest example of the grit, toughness and resilience of the Belichick years. Indy crumbled to 2-14 without Peyton Manning in 2011, while the Patriots still went 11-5 after losing Tom Brady for the year in Game 1.

“A Moment in Time” public art piece

1946 Nashua Dodgers mural

On the corner of Pleasant and South Main streets in Concord near Live Juice Why you want to visit: The bronze sculpture created by Massachusetts artist Beverly Benson Seamans depicts a young boy holding and marveling at a turtle. “It’s a scene that evokes childhood memories,” Tim Sink, president of the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, said. “It’s simple, a little whimsical, and captures that emotion and sense of innocence.” Originally placed in Bicentennial Square on lease about eight years ago, the piece was reclaimed by the artist for a time after the lease was up. “A lot of people really liked it, especially little kids, and they were really sad to see it taken away,” Sink said. A little over a year ago, the city renewed the lease and recovered the sculpture. Sink said the city is hoping to purchase the piece before the current lease expires.

If you have more time: Downtown Concord has all kinds of public art displays.

Other notable pieces include a modern granite gate sculpture near the Works Bakery Cafe (42 N. Main St.); various sculptures created from old bicycles, spread throughout downtown; a student-painted colorful

On the east side of the Maynard & Lesieur building at 31 W. Hollis St., Nashua Why you want to visit: The mural, covering one side of a brick building in downtown Nashua, depicts African-American baseball players Roy Campanella, a catcher, and Don Newcombe, a pitcher, who played for the Nashua Dodgers in 1946 and are credited with making the Dodgers the first integrated baseball team in the United States. “The mural was done about 15 to 20 years ago to honor them,” Nashua Silver Knights assistant general manager Cheryl Lindner said. “They were the first [to integrate]. Jackie Robinson often gets the credit, but he actually did it in Canada.”

If you have more time: Visit the place where it all happened, the historic Holman Stadium (67 Amherst St., Nashua, 7188883, nashua silver knights.com). Now the home of the Nashua Silver Knights, the stadium was built in 1937 and was home to the Nashua Dodgers while they operated from 1946 to 1949. When Campanella and Newcombe were added to the Dodgers roster, Holman Stadium became the first integrated ballpark in the U.S. Earlier

this year, two large banners were installed at the stadium depicting Campanella and Newcombe. “Since Holman Stadium is a historic building, we couldn’t paint a mural on it,” Lindner said, “but we wanted to have something honoring [the players] at the place where they actually played, so we did the banner project.” Lindner said tours of the ballpark offering more tidbits about its history are available by request.

Gasholder House

Frank Carpenter Mausoleum

On the corner of South Main and Water streets, Concord Why you want to visit: While no longer in active use, the Gasholder House in Concord is a historic building, being the only one of its kind in the entire country to have its gas holder still completely intact.

“These buildings … held gas that was manufactured from coal in that area,” said Phil Donovan, chairman of the Concord Heritage Commission, a division of the city’s planning board. “Underneath the building, there was essentially a hole in the ground where gas would be pumped up.”

The circular brick house was built in 1888 after the Concord Gas Light Co. purchased the land to construct it a year earlier. Standing about 80 feet high and measuring 86 feet in diameter, the house was at one point capable of holding up to 125,000 cubic feet of gas. It remained in service for gas storage until 1952, after the process and technology of manufacturing gas modernized, according to Donovan. A second house was built in 1921 but was torn down in the 1980s.

Today, the building and 2.4-acre property surrounding it are owned by Liberty Utilities and fenced off, but you can still view it from South Main Street, Donovan

Pine Grove Cemetery, 765 Brown Ave., Manchester Why you want to visit: Frank Pierce Carpenter (1845-1938) was arguably the city’s greatest philanthropist. He made his fortune initially with a grain and flour business before expanding his trade into coffee, tea and spices, according to John Clayton at the Manchester Historic Association. Carpenter then went on to become president of the Amoskeag Paper Mills and Stark Mills. His munificence was instrumental in the construction of several large buildings still standing today in downtown Manchester, including the Manchester Historic Association building, the Manchester public library and at least seven others.

His mausoleum was built in 1912, more than two decades before he died.

One section of it weighed 18 tons and required 16 horses to drive it from the train station to the cemetery. At one point, it got stuck in the mud and required two city steamrollers to pull it out. The mausoleum remains the largest in the cemetery today.

If you have more time: Carpenter’s old mansion residence is still standing at 1800 Elm St., and it’s a sight to see.

said.

“It’s really become an icon of the city,” he said. “We’ve actually been working with Liberty Utilities and have an application with the state for review right now to get the building on the National Register [of Historic Places].”

If you have more time: Donovan said the Gasholder House is well documented and photographed through both the city and the New Hampshire Historical Society’s library (30 Park St., Concord), for people who are interested in learning more about 19th-century industrial architecture.

building is an example of Queen Anne architecture with its most notable structure a three-story turret in the southeast corner. The house and the carriage house in the rear are used today as office spaces.

The city’s public library, officially dubbed the Carpenter Memorial Library building, was built in memory of his wife, Eleanor Blood Carpenter. If you walk inside the library, which is surfaced with white Vermont marble and designed after the Beaux Arts or Italian Renaissance style, you will see a portrait of Frank Carpenter hanging on an interior wall.

Benson’s Park, 21 Kimball Hill Road, Hudson Why you want to visit: According to Hudson town selectman and memorial committee chairman Dave Morin, this monument contains an actual steel beam from the elevator shaft of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. This monument was unveiled in September 2011 during a memorial service for the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“We actually had a resident from Hudson, David Kovalcin, who was on board one of the flights … [and] the town had been very active to support the firefighters down in New York. We put groups down there to help with the search [for survivors],” Morin said.

“A couple of years later, the fire chief learned that steel beams from the towers were being given out to towns who had memorials.”

Morin said the original beam was only four feet tall, but the town was eventually awarded its current beam, a structure standing more than 20 feet placed near the entrance of Benson’s Park and made to look like one of the towers. A second structure of the same height was built to represent the second tower.

“We wanted to have people remember what the buildings looked like,” Morin said.

Other features of the memorial incorporate some of the events that occurred on Sept.

11, 2001, according to Morin. A grassy structure in the shape of a pentagon surrounds the two beams (representative of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.), and the sidewalk that leads into the memorial was shaped to represent the path of United Airlines Flight 93 before it crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Along the path, you’ll find several hedge

stones that show the exact times the planes crashed into the buildings and the times the two towers collapsed.

“Each stone gives a timeline … and then we have one stone in recognition of all of the [responders],” Morin said.

The memorial is one of six you’ll find in the Granite State, according to Morin. The others are in Claremont, Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth and at Dartmouth College in Hanover.

If you have more time: There is much to explore at Benson’s Park if you have not done so since it reopened in 2010. The property was the home of Benson’s Wild Animal Farm, a private zoo and amusement park open for much of the early half of the 20th century. Several buildings and cages that once held zoo animals can still be found at the park, one of which has since been converted into a small, onsite store. Benson’s is also a popular area for hiking, dog walking, fishing and picnicking, containing several wooded walking trails, a children’s playground, lakes and a public dog park. Admission and parking is free. The park is open from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Oct. 31, and until 5 p.m. after Oct. 31. — Matt Ingersoll

Great Flood Marker

HIPPO | OCTOBER 26 - NOVEMBER 1, 2017 | PAGE 14

Opposite the Mill Girl statue on southeast corner of 400 Commercial St. building Why you want to visit: During the Great Flood of 1936, someone marked the highest point of the water on a mill building on Commercial Street. It’s about chest-high. John Clayton at the Manchester Historic Association said nobody knows who made the mark.

As a result, nobody is sure whose responsibility it is to maintain it as it fades and chips with age. The flood was caused by a combination of factors.

“In addition to heavy snow melt from what was a hard winter, we had 11 days of rain … leading up to the flood,” Clayton said.

In the process, the flood water swept away two bridges and spilled over into the secondary artificial canal, where Commercial Street is now. Clayton said the flood quite literally divided the city in two.

turning to look at the river from Arms Park.

There you’ll see the still-standing stanchions of the two bridges that were destroyed during the flood. The southern stanchions belonged to a pedestrian bridge and the northern stanchions held up a steam pipe bridge, which connected the Arms Textile to a mill building on the West Side.

created by sculptor Lucien Gosselin, whose other works include the Pulaski monument in Pulaski Park at 128 Bridge St., and the Great War tribute in Victory Park at the corner of Amherst Street and Chestnut streets. The Jutras monument is a granite monolith bearing a cross and a commemorative inscription.

Clayton said that Gosselin moved to Manchester in 1885 and began sculpting small medallions in clay and plaster and then cast in bronze. Gosselin’s commissions grew larger over the years and in 1929 he sculpted his first major commission, the monument at Victory Park honoring the men of the first World War. In 1934 he was asked to sculpt the Pulaski Memorial, which still stands today at Pulaski Park and honors the American Revolutionary War Brigadier General Casimir Pulaski. — Ethan Hogan

Chester Village Cemetery Junction of Routes 102 and 121, Chester, chesternhhistorical.org Why you want to visit: The graveyard is on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the oldest graveyards in the state. Located across from the historic Chester Congregational Church, the plot was officially purchased in 1751, but the settlers had been burying bodies there for years before that. “When Chester was first developed in 1722, the settlers didn’t have anywhere to put the bodies, so they started burying them across from the church,” Chester Historical Society president Jean Methot said. The cemetery contains the graves of notable people including two state governors, Samuel Bell and John Bell, as well as Chief Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court William Richardson. It’s also home to signed stones by some of the most renowned stone sculptors in New England. “If you walk around and see who’s buried here and look at the dates on the gravestones, you can see why it’s so important and why it’s on the Register,”

Clayton said he knew Robert before he died in 1998; after selling the McDonald’s franchise, Richard McDonald moved back to New Hampshire, married his high-school sweetheart Dorothy French and settled down in Bedford. Richard McDonald is also credited with designing the golden arches logo. Clayton said the logo eventually surpassed the Coca-Cola Company’s red circle in global familiarity. The iconic golden arches are sealed onto Richard McDonald’s urn at the mausoleum in Manchester.

The Mount Calvary Cemetery and Mausoleum is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

If you have more time: The monument of Lt. William Jutras, the first Franco-American from Manchester to die in WWI, according to Clayton, also sits at Mount Calvary. The monument is also significant because it was

The monument’s corner stone was laid by the Master Masons of New Hampshire on May 30, 1889, and they completed the monument on Oct. 15, 1889. The monument is made of granite, with bronze plaques and statues. The east side of the monument has a statue of a man representing the sailors of the war, with a bronze plaque depicting of the sinking of the Alabama by the Kearsarge during the Battle of Cherbourg in 1864.

In the southwest corner of Derryfield Park in Manchester Why you want to visit: Many have seen the old wooden door framed by granite standing solitary on the edges of Derryfield Park and wondered what it used to be.

“That was actually the entrance to the old town pound,” said John Clayton with the Manchester Historic Association.

Back in 1753, the townspeople voted to establish a pound, though they didn’t fund its construction. That would come much later when John Goffe built the pound at his own expense.

It’s not what one pictures when one talks about a pound for pets. Rather, this was a stone wall that encircled roaming grazing animals.

served their country on land or sea during the war of the rebellion, and aided in preserving the integrity of the federal union.”

The monument sits at the center of a small park, with a view of downtown Nashua.

If you have more time: Directly behind the Civil War monument is the AbbotSpalding House Museum. The house was sheep would eventually roam off of a particular owner’s property and we had … an animal control officer back in those days who would round up the stray animals and bring them to the town pound, where they would be held until the owners came to claim them,” Clayton said.

The tradition, Clayton said, was to deputize the most recently married man in town to manage the pound, in the office of “Hog Reever,” much to the “merriment” of the town meeting crowd. Which is to say, they got a kick out of tormenting newlywed men.

The door was dedicated in 1916 by the Molly Stark chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

If you have more time: Also in the park is a gazebo built in 1996. What many don’t realize is it was designed to emulate the cap of the nearby Weston Observatory, a stone tower that’s also worth visiting at the top of Oak Hill in Derryfield Park. The inside is

John F. Kennedy memorial bust In front of Nashua City Hall, 229 Main St., Nashua Why you want to visit: As a US Senator from Massachusetts running for president, John F. Kennedy’s first ever campaign stop after announcing his presidential run was in front of Nashua City Hall, on Jan. 25, 1960, an event that is now commemorated by a bronze memorial bust in front of the historic Main Street building.

Kennedy won the New Hampshire primary and became the 35th president in 1961, serving until his assassination in Dallas in November 1963.

Constructed in 1965, the monument includes a pedestal with a bronze statue of Kennedy’s head and shoulders.

According to Derek Edry, communications and special projects coordinator for

Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess’s office, a quote from Kennedy’s inaugural address on Jan. 20, 1961, is engraved on the back of the memorial.

home to several notable residents during the course of Nashua’s history, including Daniel Abbot, the Father of Nashua, George Perham, a proprietor with the West India goods trade, and William Spalding, a prominent banker and collector of antiques.

Abbot is known as the Father of Nashua because of his industrial enterprise which helped take Nashua from being a town to being a city, according to the Nashua Historical Society. Abbot formed the Nashua Manufacturing Company and Nashua’s first cotton mills in 1823, according to the Nashua Historical Society. You can tour the house by appointment and a member of the historical society will give guests an educational walk-through and talk about the period-accurate artwork, furniture and architecture that remain preserved in the home. Tours can be made by appointment and last about 40 minutes.

closed to the public through most of the year, but it’s a hidden gem that was dedicated to James Weston, a former mayor who served four terms in the late 1800s as a Democrat despite the city being largely Republican and Whig at the time. The tower is made of granite and is 66 feet tall. — Ryan Lessard of Americans — born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage,” the monument reads.

If you have more time: The Granite State held its election before any other state in 1920, just four years after holding its first primary. In the years that followed, New Hampshire would develop recognition for holding the first primary in the country for every presidential election. Its history as a political frontrunner for presidential campaigns is well documented in some locations across the state.

At the store of the New Hampshire Historical Society (30 Park St., Concord), copies of The First Primary: New Hampshire’s Outsize Role in Presidential Nominations, written by UNH scholars David W. Moore and Andrew E. Smith, are available for purchase for $29.95. The book is an in- 17

Mary Baker Eddy House 62 N. State St., Concord, 225-3444 Why you want to visit: Mary Baker Eddy founded the church of Christian Science and did significant work during her time in Concord, according to Nancy Root, a tour guide at Eddy’s house in Concord. Eddy’s home is a stately Greek Revival-style house that was built in 1850. Two Renaissance-style rooms in the house have been restored to resemble how they were during Eddy’s stay, with period-accurate furniture and decor. During the guided tour, Root teaches guests about Eddy’s work at the house and about her other home on the outskirts of Concord called Pleasant View.

The tour includes a model of Pleasant View where Eddy spent many years, but which has since been replaced with living facilities. Eddy moved into the furnished home at 62 State St. in 1889 and stayed there until 1892. During the three years Eddy spent in the home, she revised her book Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures and then published it while living at the home in 1891.

Later that same year, Eddy published a book that summarized her life and work titled Retrospection and Introspection.

Root said the house represents the work Eddy did while living in Concord and the two rooms reflect life at the time.

From Nov. 1 to April 30, tours are given by appointment with 48-hour advance notice.

If you have more time: A half a mile down the road from Eddy’s house is the First Church of Christ, Scientist, at 33 School St. The church was built in 1903 and 1904 and it is made out of mostly Concord Granite, according to Lynn Dermott, a tour guide at the church. The church features a nave lit by stained glass windows, a bell tower, Eddy’s unique domed office and the seat from which Eddy taught her last class 16 depth history of the state’s primary and

At the political library of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College (100 St. Anselm Drive, Manchester), a new collection of more than 2,700 volumes called The Presidency Unfurled: Context, Landmarks, Legacy is available in the library’s recently renovated reading room. The books cover a nearly 25-year span of biographies, memoirs and more of presidents, vice presidents, Supreme Court Justices and our country’s founding fathers, as well as several presidential biography series. They can be viewed by visiting the library’s online catalog or weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics.

on Christian Science. Free tours of the church are given Sundays, after 11 a.m. or by appointment. Dermott said one of the most impressive parts of the tour is the stained glass windows, which were designed and made in England before being shipped over to New England.

Dermott said the windows each display a biblical scene with iconic characters and objects.

The church has an unusual bell tower system that uses 15 tubular bells operated by ropes, according to Dermott.

The bells are rung periodically throughout the week and can be heard through most of downtown Concord, according to Dermott.

Eddy donated $100,000 to help build the church and other members collectively donated $150,000. Dermott said that if the church were built today it would cost $6.5 million. The cornerstone was laid in July 1903 and the church was finished a year later in July 1904. The church is furnished mostly by gifts from members of the church from when it was first built, including its large organ system, which guests can see during the tours.

— Ethan Hogan Many campaign stops take place at local eateries. One of the most popular stops has been the Red Arrow Diner (61 Lowell St., Manchester). Others notable spots are The Puritan Backroom Restaurant (245 Hooksett Road, Manchester), MaryAnn’s Diner (29 E. Broadway, Derry) and Tilt’n Diner (61 Laconia Road, Tilton). Photos commemorating such visits can be found on many of these restaurants’ walls.

You can also view an online exhibition at nhhistory.org of buttons, bobblehead dolls, voting machines and more that were used during presidential campaigns dating back several administrations all the way to the early twentieth century.

ARTS Aboard the S.S. American Palace Theatre actors talk Anything Goes

licks in [Porter’s] music have been borrowed by other well-known musicals. People will know at least 70 to 80 percent of the music, so everyone leaves the theater with a tune in their head and a hop in their step.

Rivera: I just love his melodies. They’re beautiful and catchy, romantic and classic.

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

The Palace Theatre has set sail with its latest production Anything Goes, a musical comedy that follows a lively group of characters aboard the S.S. American, a ship sailing between New York and London, and the love triangles and wild antics that ensue. The play, which was written by Cole Porter and debuted on Broadway in 1934, is on stage at the Palace now through Nov. 11.

Among the characters is Moonface Martin (played by Vincent DiPeri), a second-rate gangster labeled “Public Enemy Number 13,” who’s trying to keep a low profile; Billy Crocker (played by Jason Long), a lovelorn Wall Street broker who sneaks aboard the ship without a ticket and must assume a number of disguises to avoid being caught; and Reno Sweeney (played by Marisa Rivera), an evangelist turned nightclub singer with unrequited feelings for Billy. Palace actors DiPeri, Long and Rivera sat down together to talk about the production.

What can we expect from the set and the costumes?

Rivera: The costumes are absolutely stunning and gorgeous with lots of sequents and glitter.

DiPeri: I love how we’ve executed the set. There will be a full ship on stage with two levels and stairs and doors that people go through, so you really feel like you’re watching people on a cruise. It’s very visually intriguing.

A unique community art initiative is bringing some color to Bedford in the form of 60-inch fiberglass bulldogs painted by local artists.

“Bulldogs of Bedford” was conceived last year as a way to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Bedford High School, which has a bulldog as its mascot. The plan is to install custom painted bulldog sculptures at 10 businesses in town and keep them on display for at least three years.

Jessica Gilcreast, a librarian at the school and a member of the committee formed last year to celebrate the school’s anniversary, was inspired by public art projects like CowParade, which features painted fiberglass cow sculptures in cities around the world, and Nashua Street Pianos, which brought painted pianos to Nashua’s Main Street.

“I thought it’d be something fun to bring to Bedford, and a nice, unifying project that everyone is able to be a part of and benefit from,” Gilcreast said. “It brings everyone together — businesses, artists and the school district — to celebrate art in the community.”

Last spring, the project acquired the necessary permissions from the town and secured a company based in Chicago to produce the white fiberglass bulldogs. Then, Gilcreast reached out to the local arts community and posted on social media, inviting artists to volunteer their talents.

“You’ll find that many artists are up for the challenge of taking on a new project or a new medium,” she said. “Painting a 60-inch bulldog is something they’ve more than likely never done before and never will do again. It’s something different and a very unique canvas for the artists to express

themselves.”

One artist who answered the call is Kara LaMarche of Bedford. LaMarche, who does mostly acrylic abstract paintings, worked at the Bedford paint-and-sip studio Canvas Roadshow for four years before recently striking out on her own to create custom art for businesses and individuals. When she saw a post about the bulldog project on Facebook, she knew immediately that she wanted to contribute.

“I raised my hand high to be involved,” she said. “Bedford is a wonderful town, but public art is something we didn’t have here.

As an artist, I feel like public art is important to have in any community, so I thought the bulldogs was a fantastic idea.”

LaMarche painted two bulldogs for the project. “Rosie,” which sits outside The Wholistic Pet & Equine Center (341 Route 101), has a nature theme with painted mountains, a sun, a sunflower, a butterfly and a rose vine. “Harley,” found outside Copper Door Restaurant (15 Leavy Drive), is a motorcycle-themed dog, complete with painted flames, goggles and a HarleyDavidson vest.

A third bulldog is currently on view outside the Bedford Public Library (3 Meetinghouse Road), and others will soon be unveiled, including a fruits-and-vegetables bulldog at Whole Foods Market (121 S. River Road) and a doctor bulldog at Bedford Animal Hospital. Additionally, the project produced a number of smaller, 28-inch tabletop dogs painted by Bed- 23 Bulldogs of Bedford For updates on the project, artist information, photos of the bulldogs and a map of bulldog locations, visit facebook. com/03110Bulldogs or sites.google.com/ bedfordnhk12.net/bulldogsofbedford/home.

Two of the large dogs are still available for purchase by Bedford businesses. Each business that agrees to buy a bulldog works with the artist to create a design that represents them as a business, and that they think the public will enjoy.

“The business gives their vision to the artist, and the artist takes it and runs with it,” Gilcreast said.

LaMarche said it took her about two months to complete her two assigned bulldogs and that the process had its challenges. For one, the kind of paint used for the sculptures is very fast-drying, which

means the artists have to work quickly or else the paint will dry on the paintbrush.

Painting the difficult-to-reach areas of the bulldog also required some creativity.

“The only way to get under the dog to paint it was to have its giant paw resting on my chest. Several of my shirts are completely ruined from that particular endeavor,” LaMarche said. “It was really fun to paint on this strange and hilarious structure, but it created a lot of challenges, for sure.”

One of the most rewarding things about the project, Gilcreast said, is seeing people in town enjoying the sculptures.

“The dogs are large enough to sit on, so a lot of people stop to look and sit on them and take pictures with them and post the pictures to Facebook,” she said. “It’s been so much fun to see how the dogs have their own little following on social media now.”

INSIDE/OUTSIDE Tricks and treats in the Capital City New and old fun at Concord’s annual Halloween Howl

By Ethan Hogan

ehogan@hippopress.com

There’s no wrong way to trickor-treat, so long as you come home with a bag full of candy and a story to tell. Concord’s annual Halloween Howl should deliver on both fronts with businesses giving out candy downtown and local organizations setting up activities on city plaza.

On Friday, Oct. 27, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., N. Main Street in Concord will be closed so families can safely walk from business to business and collect candy. Businesses decorate their shops with Halloween themed displays and host family friendly activities.

Kate Fleming, the events and outreach coordinator at Intown Concord, is helping organize the event for the first time this year.

Last year’s Halloween Howl was her first day on the job.

She said this year’s event will include games at the city plaza, like potato sack races and a doughnut eating competition.

“Concord Parks and Rec is going to have an activity center on city plaza and something like 10,000 doughnuts. ... You don’t need to pre-sign up — anybody can come by [and participate]. That’s why we have so many doughnuts ” said Fleming.

A jack-o’-lantern carving competition is new this year. Fleming said anyone can drop off their carved pumpkins at the plaza and a panel Concord Halloween Howl

of judges will pick three winners.

The YMCA is bringing a Haunted Bus, which will be a notso-scary haunted house through one of the Y’s school buses. A photo booth will be set up on city plaza where costumed kids and families can take pictures. Instead of getting a printed photo reel, the booth texts the images to people’s cell phones so they can instantly share them on social media.

Costumes and cosplay go hand in hand, and the Halloween Howl is no exception. Double Midnight Comics attracts cosplayers from around the area who jump at the chance to show off their costumes, according to Jill Stewart the shop’s manager. Stewart said that committed costume-ers will likely be lurking around the comicbook store so she has prepared activities and candy for the event.

“We’ll be handing out a bunch

include seasonal décor, photography, fine art and prints, cards and gourmet treats. Kendall House, 5 Meetinghouse Road, Bedford. Fri., Nov. 3 through Sun., Nov. 5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit thecraftworkersguild.org.

of free Halloween themed comic books,” said Stewart.

Stewart is organizing a painting activity at the shop where kids can paint their favorite comic book characters with a Halloween themed twist. Characters like the Incredible Hulk will be turned into Frankenstein monsters like Hulkenstein.

Stewart is expecting a guest appearance from a fully functioning Hulkbuster Iron Man costume and an army of zombies. She predicts that other popular costumes this year will be Deadpool, HarleyQuinn, the cast of Stranger Things and Rick from Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty.

“The big winner of costumes this year is Rick from Rick and Morty,” said Stewart.

A pirate themed dance party, called All Hallows Eve, will be held at Christian Michael Salon at 156 N. Main St. Fleming said the

gregational Church for popovers, homemade soups and locally handmade items. There will be a bake sale and a silent auction.

street will be the dance floor with lights and costumed characters dancing to music provided by local DJ and radio personality Nazzy.

“They kind of just go over the top with a dance party out front on the street, they all get completely decked out,” said Fleming.

Prior to that, Nazzy will leads a costume parade down Main Street at 6:30 p.m., something he does every year. Fleming said the parade is the best time for people to show off their costumes and see what others have dressed up as.

Fleming said that families come to the event because it gives them a safe alternative to traditional neighborhood trick-or-treating.

“Kids talk about Halloween all year round. It’s a safe way for families to come down with their kids and trick-or-treat. It’s such a popular holiday and this is such a great community,” said Fleming.

Step into the Halloween spirit by taking a haunted walking tour of downtown Manchester that features 12 stops at locations that are said to be visited by ghosts.

The Ghost Walking Tour is on Thursday, Oct. 26, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and starts across the street from the Palace Theatre.

Guests will take the mile-and-a-half tour with a guide who will tell grim stories of Manchester’s downtown.

Tammy Downing is a professional tour guide whose job includes giving curated tours of places in central and southern New Hampshire. Using her own knowledge of Manchester’s haunted history coupled with additional research she has done on the topic, Downing charted out a route of 12 supposedly haunted locations. She said the Ghost Walking Tour is one of her favorite tours because it can be interactive.

“I tend to spend a lot of time in historical societies and in libraries looking at books. ... [During the tour], a lot of times I get stories from the guests themselves,” said Downing.

The tour starts across from the Palace Theatre, where Downing said she has heard stories of performers who have experienced mysterious happenings in the theater.

“Every good ghost tour should start with a haunted theater,” said Downing.

An actor named Will Cressy performed at the theater before retiring to Florida in the 1940s, according to Downing. When Cressy passed away, strange things started happening back at the theater in Manchester. Downing said performers have claimed to see faceless figures in the balcony during dress rehearsals and reported having objects go missing during quiet changing

sessions backstage.

Downing said Manchester’s millyards are also full of haunted tales, and visits there never cease to result in a spook or two during the tour. She’ll share stories of a spirit named Milly who roams the bathrooms in the old mill buildings.

“She tends to turn on the faucet and slam the doors,” said Downing.

At the corner of Merrimack and Chestnut streets, the tour stops to hear the story of the first murder in Manchester. Downing said the murder occurred on the street corner when Manchester was still called Derryfield in the 1700s and the victim was a tax collector.

“A lot of times you see coins on the ground because people are leaving the coins to appease the ghost. ... That’s their way of paying their taxes,” said Downing.

The tour lasts about an hour and a half and is supposed to be fun and informative.

Downing said it can sometimes be too scary for kids younger than 10, so it’s up to parents to decide if their children can take the tour. Groups are usually between 10 and 30 people. Downing said most people who take the tour are either interested in ghosts or already believers themselves.

“I’m a skeptical believer — I need to see it to believe it. I’ve never seen a full body apparition.... Seeing something that looks like they’re in the flesh, that’s kind of my goal,” said Downing.

Frost was late this year. It was nearly midOctober before we had a hard frost, one that murdered the zinnias and blackened the basil.

For me, hard frost is a day to mourn a little, to spend a few moments missing the summer that passed, for the tomatoes that brought me such great pleasure and the flowers that graced my table.

But autumn is grand, too. I still have plenty of garden veggies to harvest and process, and those fall days full of sun and a few monarchs are full of surprises and delights.

I’m always delighted by plants that bloom now, especially woody plants. I have two witch hazels that bloom subtly each fall. The blossoms are not obvious because they are small, yellow, and their leaves are yellow (and green) and have not yet fallen. But those curly blossoms will persist even after the leaves have dropped. Witch hazel is a native tree that lives in shade or part shade. It’s a small tree or a shrub, depending on the variety. It blooms either now, or in very early spring.

Another interesting shrub in bloom now is disanthus. Although most books describe the flowers as “insignificant,” I disagree. They are small — just half an inch across, and close to the stem — but they are in pairs, back to back, each like a small purple starfish. I’ve had my disanthus for four years, and this is the first time it has bloomed, or at least the first time I have seen it bloom. So I yelped with excitement when I first saw the blossoms.

The best thing about disanthus is the leaf color. The leaves are deep red and purple, and have been so for many weeks. The color is better than that of the now prohibited invasive burning bush. But unlike burning bush, disanthus doesn’t litter the countryside with babies like a stray, unspayed dog. It stays in one place, and grows slowly to a 6 to 10 foot height and width.

In the flower garden my fall asters are about done, but I still have one Rudbekia or black-eyed Susan looking great. It is Rudbeckia subtomentosa, a variety called Henry Eiler. It’s taller than I am. Its petals are very delicate and are spaced apart in an airy fashion. The stems of this plant are quite thick, but not thick enough to stand up to fall winds without staking.

Grasses are nice now, too. They generally bloom in fall, producing subtle green flowers that most people don’t recognize as flowers.

My favorite grass is a Chinese feather grass, a variety called Morning Light. The leaves have a central white stripe and each stem stands up 4 to 6 feet, or even more. This grass will look good all winter waving above the snow.

Henry Eiler Rudbeckia.

Each stem of feather grass has 20 or so thin strands of flowers that will produce seeds.

This plant does not reproduce from seed, however. The clump gets bigger each year, and can be divided to create more plants. I’ve read that the time to divide it is in the spring, not now.

The milkweed plants I started from seed this year stayed small and did not flower. But I will harvest some seeds elsewhere and plant some more. The seeds need a cold period before they will germinate, so planting outside now makes sense. Last spring I planted seeds in flats indoors, then put them in the fridge for 6 weeks before they would grow. The red milkweed I planted the year before did great this year, blooming and attracting pollinators.

I will plant some of their seeds when I see the pods are ripe and ready to burst open.

I’ve cut down some of my perennials, and pretty much all are ready for the knife or shears. I’ll leave things with stiff stems and interesting seed pods for winter viewing and as food for the birds. But the more I can do now, the better. One landscaper told me she figured that every hour of fall clean-up reduces spring work by three hours.

One of my last tasks each year is to run over the lawn with my lawnmower, chopping leaves into perfect mulch. I rake it onto a tarp and pull the tarp to my vegetable garden where I spread the leaves over the bythen weeded beds. It keeps weed seeds from germinating in the spring, and adds organic matter to the soil as it breaks down and is eaten by earthworms.

My gardening friend and fellow gardenbook writer Sydney Eddison of Connecticut always saves her chopped fall leaves in contractor bags and uses them in the spring on her flowers. I have filled up six huge plastic bags with grass clippings and leaves another friend gave me, and have stored them in the barn for use in the spring. Sydney Eddison has the best soil I’ve ever seen after mulching with chopped leaves for 40 years or so.

Don’t forget to plant your spring bulbs now, too. You can plant into November, but it will be cold by then, so get going!

ALL THINGS FALL!

Dear Donna,

Mums, asters, ornamental peppers, pumpkins, gourds, cabbages, kales, grasses and more!

Can you tell me anything about this book, Little Lulu and Her Pals? It’s dated 1939 and still has the original paper cover. Any collectors for these types of books?

Mums on sale!

COME SEE WHAT’S NEW!

John from New Boston Dear John, I have to start off by saying I am not very up to date as far as knowledge of old books goes. Seems to me I remember this book myself from my childhood — not this one in particular but others of Little Lulu.

I did some research for you and found several going on the secondary market from $10 to $30. Condition is everything in books, though, and having the original cover in such good condition as it looks counts as well.

I would say someone really cared for this book. In this condition your book would be worth in the $25 to $30 range to a collector.

Keep in mind if selling it to a bookseller you would have to take less, because they’ll want to sell it as well.

The artisan products range from crafts, like jewelry, to food, including bread, oil and handmade jam. Lynn Thomson, the manager of community education and museum outreach, said the products are meant to be ideal holiday gifts and the event will give guests a head start on holiday shopping. The event is part of the Currier’s After Hours series, which Thompson said gives people another way to experience the museum on the first Thursday of every month.

The artisans will be set up in the lobby, historic court and winter garden cafe areas so that the rest of the museum’s exhibits can remain open. Guests can check out the Currier’s “The Paris of Toulouse-Lautrec” exhibit, which features 100-year-old prints and posters from artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (there’s a special exhibit fee of $5). Chef Joseph Sylvester, of the Currier’s Winter Garden Café, will show guests how to make a simple appetizer of empanadas. Thompson said Sylvester will also make holiday cocktails, and guests can order food from the cafe’s menu, which regularly includes salads, sandwiches and soups.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

How to get a newfangled car through the car wash Dear Car Talk: I have a 2017 Buick LaCrosse that has the gas-saving feature of shutting off the engine at stops and then restarting when the brake is released. It also has an

By Ray Magliozzi unfortunate feature of putting the transmission into park whenever the start/stop button is pushed to stop the engine; the only way to leave the car in neutral is to leave the engine running. So, how do I manage to get the car through a commercial car wash? Are they familiar with this peculiarity? I asked a salesman at my Buick dealer this question. His response was that the car-wash tracks are wet and, therefore, slippery: “Just leave it in park and let the wheels slide.” That is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Is there a way to run the car through a car wash without sliding the tires? The only way I can think of is to leave the engine running, and then the transmission can be put into neutral. However, I don’t think the car-wash people would like that. — Newton The salesman’s an idiot. Putting the car in neutral is exactly what you should do. If your car wash is the most common type, where

the driver stays in the car, then you can leave it running, use the foot brake when you come out the other end, then put it back in drive and go. If it’s a car wash that requires you to exit the vehicle, you may have to open the driver’s door first, before putting the car in neutral, to prevent it from shifting into park automatically when you open the door.

Actually, lots of cars are having trouble getting through automatic car washes these days. Car washes haven’t had this much publicity since “The Bikini Carwash Company II” came out in 1993.

It turns out a lot of the new “autonomous driving” safety equipment is not playing well with these car-cleaning tunnels. For instance, a lot of new cars have a wonderful feature called “automatic emergency braking.” If the car senses an object in front of you — like a stopped car or a human dressed as a tuna fish sandwich — and you don’t brake in time, it assumes you’re distracted and it automatically stops itself for you. Now, what do you think it does when it sees a giant spinning buffer heading toward your grille (unless the system disengages itself when the car is put in neutral)?

Other cars automatically apply the parking brake if the car is stopped for more than a few seconds. This also is a great safe-

ty improvement. It’s prevented people from stepping out of the car without putting the transmission in park first and running over themselves. Hey, it happens!

So for people like you, with newer cars, you’ll have to check your owner’s manual.

More and more of them now have instructions for going through an automatic car wash. It’s more complicated than in the old days, when all you had to do was decline the muffler polish, give the guy your eight bucks and remember to close the window. Now you often have to disable a bunch of safety features, lest you find yourself at the front of the line, unable to go forward through the car wash, with 16 people behind you getting furious while you scan the index of your owner’s manual. I’m not intimately familiar with the 2017 Buick LaCrosse, but if it’ll stay in neutral with the car running, and it doesn’t have those safety features engaged, you should be fine.

Dear Car Talk: I have a 1996 Ford Explorer with 164,000 miles. It runs fine, but a year ago, the check engine light came on and indicated a problem with the cam position sensor. The Explorer lives on a very small island with dirt roads and no mechanic. It is driven a maximum

of about 40 miles a year, from the marina to our cabin, which we visit once a month or so.

After a year with the check engine light on, the Explorer still runs great. Should I worry? — Peter No. The sensor probably is bad, Peter. But the effects of a bad cam position sensor are most likely to be felt at high speed. So just don’t take any dirt highways on the island.

That sensor helps the computer compare the positions of the cam shafts and the crankshaft. And it uses that information to control the timing of the fuel injectors and the spark.

But, like I said, those things become more critical at higher speeds. And if you’re just moseying (and I hope you are) from the marina to your cabin and back, you might never notice any problem at all.

And at worst, if it fails completely, it won’t disable the vehicle; it’ll put it into a so-called limp-home mode — which is what it sounds like. You might not even know the difference! In any case, in the worst-case scenario, you’ll still be able to limp to the cabin.

At that point, you need to befriend a Ford mechanic, and then invite him to spend a peaceful, bucolic weekend on a secluded island. Then tell him to bring a ‘96 Explorer cam position sensor with him.

CAREERS

What kind of education or training did you need for this?

The first couple years I was in business, I did a lot of research and just asking other people in the business if I ran into issues I didn’t know. But over the years I’ve hired hundreds of roofers and I’ve taken all the best … ways to do everything out of all the people I’ve worked with.

Tom Marquis

What is your typical at-work uniform?

I have Marquis Roofing T-shirts and usually I wear shorts. This time of year ... blue jeans or CarHow did you find your hartt pants and a T-shirt.

Courtesy photo. current job? … Sneakers are good When I first started, I roofing footwear because made business cards and basically went they don’t mark up the shingles. door-to-door. … When I first started, I was doing third shift at Sylvania in HillsborWhat was the first job you ever had? ough, as a mechanic. That summer … I was The first job I had ever had was working all night and roofing all day. Roof- pumping gas … at Vaillancourt’s in ing ended up overtaking the job at Sylvania Hillsborough. and I ended up quitting that job and [I’ve — Ryan Lessard been] roofing full time ever since.

Roofer

Tom Marquis of Manchester is a roofer and the owner of Marquis Roofing.

Explain what your current job is.

I own a roofing company so from day to day I install roofs and I also … drive around meeting customers and giving estimates. … In most cases we set up staging, ladders and planks, and we tarp the grounds and we hang tarps on the walls. And then we tear the shingles off the roofs, then inspect plywood, change any plywood if necessary. And then, once that happens, we install ice and water shields on the bottom six feet and paper on the rest of the roof, and then we shingle it.

How long have you done this?

Eighteen years.

What do you wish you’d known at the beginning of your career?

Oh boy. Everything I know now. … There’s a lot of little tricks you pick up along the way. There’s not one specific thing.

How did you get interested in this field?

When I was really young, I owned a scrap metal business right out of high school and then I got shut down by the Town of Hillsborough for not having the proper permits and licenses. So I then went to work for a roofer for two months in Hillsborough. … And the next summer, I started my own roofing company. … I watched everything he did, the customers, measuring the roofs to bid the jobs and I watched him … shingle. … I like to work [physically], I like being outWhat’s the best piece of work-related doors. … It’s kind of a dangerous job. It advice anyone’s ever given you? keeps you in shape and it’s good money.

Just basically to work hard and stand by your word. Integrity is the biggest part of it. And just be open-minded.

WHAT ARE YOU REALLY INTERESTED IN RIGHT NOW? My kids. … Just teaching them how to ride bikes and playing soccer, fishing and all sorts of stuff.

FOOD Into the spirit

New walking tour explores spirit pairings in Concord

By Matt Ingersoll

News from the local food scene

mingersoll@hippopress.com

By Matt Ingersoll

A new walking tour in Concord will guide you toward some of the Capital City’s best spirits, cheeses and chocolates and offer history lessons, tastings and more.

The first of its kind, the two-hour tour will be held in Concord on Thursday, Nov. 2, at 6:30 p.m. and will be led by Tammy Downing, tour director and owner of the Manchester-based Out of the Box Tours.

“It used to be a wine, chocolate and cheese tour that I would do … [but] I switched it to spirits because some of the places that I go are not necessarily known for their wine, but for making some fantastic drinks,” Downing said.

Downing said as with most of her tours that begin in Concord, this one will start at the south entrance of the Durgin Block parking garage, directly across the street from Margaritas. All of the restaurants that are participating in the tour are part of a walkable route, some of which have worked with Out of the Box Tours in the past, according to Downing, like True Brew Barista & Cafe, Concord Craft Brewing

• Bazaar!: Enjoy homemade Greek dishes and pastries at the annual autumn bazaar at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church (111 Island Pond Road, Manchester), happening on Saturday, Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Sunday, Oct. 29, from 11:30 a.m to 3 p.m. There will be lamb shank, pastitsio, half-roasted chicken, spinach pie, cheese pie, baklava and more. Also included will be a penny sale and raffles with opportunities to win prizes. Admission is free. Visit assumptionnh. org or call 623-2045.

• A spooky meal: Join the Windham Restaurant (59 Range Road) for its next Dining with the Dead event on Monday, Oct. 30, from 7 to 10 p.m., featuring Halloween author and journalist Lesley Bannatyne. The menu will feature a garden salad with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions and peppers as the appetizer.

For entrees, choose baked scrod, chicken bianco, steak tips or eggplant Parmesan.

Known as the Queen of Halloween, Bannatyne has appeared in programs on The History Channel and in publications like National Geographic, Slate and Time magazines. Paranormal investigator Ron Kolek will serve as the evening’s host. Tickets are $49. Visit windhamrestaurant.com or call 870-9270.

• Another Thirsty Moose: The Thirsty Moose Taphouse opened its fourth restaurant at 72 Portsmouth Ave. in Exeter on Sept. 18, joining the others in Manchester, Portsmouth and Dover. The new restaurant seats about 80 guests, including 20 at the bar, and carries around 50 brews on tap, all of which are available at the other locations. There are a few new menu items exclusive to the Exeter restaurant, like the pan-fried chicken Parmesan, which is covered with homemade marinara sauce and served with buttered cavatappi pasta. There are also three new salads: the BLT chop salad, chopped and tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette dressing and made with bacon, avocado, feta, lettuce and grape tomatoes; the beet salad, with arugula, beets, goat cheese, candied walnuts, prosciutto and citrus shallot dressing; and the Cobb salad, which is made with lettuce, bacon, chicken, avocado, hard-boiled egg, tomato, red onion and blue cheese crumbles.

The Thirsty Moose in Exeter is open from 40

and Downtown Cheers Grille & Bar. But you never know what businesses you may encounter; while Downing has established relationships with several businesses over the years for different types of tours, newcomers are always jumping on the bandwagon.

“Sometimes it’s a matter of just going in and asking a manager, and nine times out of 10 they’ll be on board,” she said, “but some of the establishments have reached out to me and said, ‘Hey, I want to be a part of this.”

Other businesses that are in negotiations to be a part of the Spirits, Chocolate & Cheese tour are the Concord Food Co-Op and The Crazy Goat.

“Different places will do different things when we visit,” Downing said. “A lot of times, I’ll just tell them the theme when we get in contact and they run with it. They look forward to the challenge. I know that Concord Craft Brewing likes to give a history of the building … and they’ll usually have a flight of three for guests. … Most will talk about [spirit] and cheese or chocolate pairing, and some will have samples to taste.”

Downing said all you need to bring on the tour are a comfortable pair of walking shoes and a camera if you choose to do so. Most tours are held rain or shine, and registration is available up until the day before.

Drink night

Lakes Region Uncorked returns with new vendors

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

What started as a small wine and beer tasting with offerings across the Lakes Region has grown into a much larger event, today featuring a collection of meads, ciders, wines and spirits from more than 30 vendors.

The fifth annual Lakes Region Uncorked, which is happening on Thursday, Nov. 2, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Church Landing at Mill Falls in Meredith, will also include samples of appetizers and desserts, specialty artisan vendors, live music, chef demonstrations and prizes.

“The event was started … as a way to

HIPPO | OCTOBER 26 - NOVEMBER 1, 2017 | PAGE 34

reach out to the community and bring people together while at the same time promoting local Lakes Region businesses,” said Joanne Piper Lang, vice president of Lakes Region Community Services, which organizes the event as a fundraiser each year. “Besides the drinks, there has been more of a growing emphasis on the food and it’s become kind of a fine tasting event.

We want people to enjoy and be well-fed.”

Visitors can wander from table to table in the tasting room on their own once the doors open, Lang said. Some vendors may be talking about their businesses and the foods that they make, or selling them for you to be able to take home.

Seven vendors who will appear at this year’s event are participating for the first

time, including Cold Garden Spirits of Canterbury; Lone Wolfe Brewing Co. of Wolfeboro; Winnipesaukee Winery of Wolfeboro; Curt’s Catering of Gilford; Fox Country Smoke House of Canterbury; Moulton Farm of Meredith and Winnipesaukee Woods Farm of Alton Bay. As with previous years, the Common Man Restaurant is providing complimentary hors d’oeuvres and small appetizers.

“We think a lot about which vendors to invite,” Lang said. “They are primarily Lakes Region-area or New Hampshire small businesses that have wonderful homemade products.”

Lang said some of the returning vendors have even worked together to create food and drink pairings and combinations

for people who have visited Uncorked in the past.

“The cool thing about [this event] is that the vendors often will share their products with each other,” she said. “Winnipesaukee Chocolates, for example, has made chocolate truffles using liquor from Tamworth [Distillery] or Seven Birches [Winery], so they work together and collaborate in that way.”

This is the second consecutive Uncorked event to feature a seating opportunity with Chef Kevin Halligan of Laconia Local Eatery, according to Lang. The “Amuse Bouche” seating will be from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and requires a premier ticket to attend.

“He’ll be preparing some specialty cocktails and fresh foods to pair them with,” she said.

This year’s Uncorked is also going to feature the return of the “Wall of Wine” charity raffle, but with a new expansion.

“There will be a Best of Show blue ribbon raffle sponsored by Wood & Clay [in Gilford], who have built a custom maple wine rack,” Lang said. “It will be filled with 35 bottles of wine, and for $20 you can buy a raffle ticket and we’ll spin the barrel. … The winner walks away with all of it and it’s a minimum of $1,000 value

in wine.”

A silent auction, usually featuring about 60 food, wine or artisan items, will also be held.

This year’s live music will feature Holderness vocalist and pianist David Lockwood, according to Lang.

“He’s really talented … and he’s actually going to be playing with a friend of his who is a saxophonist,” she said. “So we thought that would be a really cool thing to have.”

Uncorked is the signature community fundraising event for Lakes Region Community Services. But Lang said it has become a great event for many of the local restaurants who have participated as well.

“A lot of these businesses are off the beaten path,” she said. “But here you can taste everything.”

Lakes Region Uncorked When: Thursday, Nov. 2, 5 to 8 p.m.

Where: Church Landing at Mill Falls, 281 Daniel Webster Hwy., Meredith Cost: General admission is $60 in advance and $70 at the door. Advance tickets include access to one of the celebrity chef sessions is $95. Event is 21+. Two tickets can also be purchased for $100.

With specialty homemade items like crab cakes, crab salad sandwiches and honey buttered scallops, the menu at Heritage Restaurant in Derry is an exhibition of owner and chef Mike Jacovino’s seafood background.

But the restaurant, which had a soft opening in June and its grand opening on Oct. 20, offers a range of fresh dishes to appeal to all palates, he said — in fact, the name “Heritage” is reflective of several styles of cuisine.

Jacovino comes from Belfast, Maine, where he worked in restaurants from the age of 16 and spent decades cooking seafood.

He spent a few years doing the same thing in south Florida.

“In Florida, I was fortunate enough to work with some great trained chefs who kind of took me under their wing a little bit … and it really expanded my creativity and just kind of fueled the passion,” Jacovino said. “Even when I was in high school, I always envisioned myself as being a restaurant owner … and this is kind of the result of all the work that I put in. It’s a dream come true.”

When Jacovino returned to New England from Florida, he wound up in Derry by chance, working as an executive chef at the Birch Heights retirement community for a few years. He opened Heritage in the former space of How’s Your Onion? Restaurant on West Broadway in June.

The menu has undergone a few changes since Heritage first opened.

“We wanted to kind of get our feet under us … [and] we’ve had a chance to interact with the community and make the proper adjustments,” Jacovino said. “For example, when we first opened, we didn’t have burgers. …

So we added some that would actually fit into our particular style of restaurant. Nothing is storebought or frozen. We’re pressing every patty, and all of the ingredients that go on them are fresh ingredients.”

Burgers on the new menu at Heritage include oyster mushrooms and Swiss cheese, bacon and gorgonzola, homemade barbecue sauce and caramelized onions, or a buildyour-own with any ingredients, served with hand-cut french fries or a side salad.

For other lighter lunch options, try the crab salad sandwich on a grilled brioche bun, the blackened chicken tacos topped with mango avocado salsa, or the shaved prime rib sandwich on a kummelweck roll and topped with white cheddar cheese and horseradish mayonnaise. Vegetarian options include the sweet potato and coconut curry, the red pepper risotto, the pasta puttanesca and the vegetarian gumbo, all of which are served with a side salad.

“As far as dinner goes, we’re finding that our entrees are where we shine and really get a chance to express what it is we’re trying to do,” Jacovino said.

There are several chicken, seafood, beef, pork or pasta options, like chicken and mushroom risotto, apple brandy pork chops, honey buttered scallops, rib-eye steak and mushrooms, beef bolognese pasta, and Mediterranean chicken pesto, which is prepared with sauteed garlic, tomatoes, kalamata olives and linguine pasta.

On Sundays, Heritage offers a brunch menu with meat lovers, seafood and vegetable omelets, specialty griddle items like French toast coated in sliced almonds and candied walnut pancakes, and other options like crabmeat quiche, poached salmon 38

For drinks, there are specialty cocktails, as well as a wine list and seven draft lines of beer. About three quarters of the brews are local, according to Jacovino, like the Battle Axe IPA from Kelsen Brewing Co. in Derry, the NH Ale from the 603 Brewery in Londonderry, and the Sea Dog Sunfish from the Bangor, Maine-based Sea Dog Brewing Co. Jacovino said dessert menu options will be rotated out, but current favorites are the cast iron chocolate chip cookie and the cast iron brownie sundae, both of which are served with ice cream.

“You can’t beat them,” he said. “The cookie is fresh baked every time. We make our own cookie dough, so they are not just like frozen pucks that we pull out. … Same thing with the brownie. We make our own brownie

In line with the fall season are seasonal menu options for both food and drinks. Try the pumpkin cheesecake trifle while you can, a layered pumpkin dessert served in a martini glass, or the apple cider sangria or cranberry margarita.

“We’ve also switched over some of our seasonal vegetables … to a fire roasted corn on the cob, and sauteed pumpkin and zucchini,” Jacovino said. “We’ve been running a pumpkin risotto as well.”

The restaurant has a seating capacity of about 55 and is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week.

“We’re really hoping to establish a reputation in the Derry and Londonderry area for being one of multiple great restaurants,” he said.

Slow cooker pork loin with apples & honey

er recipe from a friend and had to try it out.

The idea of apples cooking over the course of several hours in my kitchen sounded good to me. Better than any fall scented candle, am I right?

While there are so many varieties of apples, not all are created equal when it comes to cooking or baking. Cortland, Jonagold and Ida Red are my favorite for cooking or baking but really I’m not picky.

Your local orchard will give you the skinny on any apple varieties they sell. While apple pies are a must, so are some savory dishes and nothing goes with apples for dinner better than pork. And nothing cooks pork better than a slow cooker! Enjoy my easy recipe below and feel free to play around depending on your seasoning preferences.

COM FO R

Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you realize it’s apple season. Yes, it’s the time of year when people across the country pay a ton of money to pick their own apples. Festive? Yes. Cost-effective?

Not quite. While I absolutely support this fall tradition, as it’s a great way to support local farms and orchards, I can’t help but find humor in it. Thankfully, even if you overpay, you’re likely to come home with a bunch of amazing apples!

My family and I went apple picking this last weekend and it was gorgeous. My kids ran up and down the rows of trees and got to sample several different varieties. From the Ida to the Empire, I’m always learning about new apple varieties. When we got home, my husband immediately baked an apple crisp! Now we have a ton of apples remaining and it’s time to get back to the kitchen. I came across a great slow cook-

Wine is easy enough to purchase at the store — so much so that we really don’t think about what it took to get there. But when you are a winemaker, especially at a small vineyard, you know exactly what it took to get the wine there: many, many hours of hard work, and hopefully some help along the way.

I harvested grapes for the first time in 2015 at Fulchino Vineyard in Hollis and really enjoyed the experience. This year, I saw a call for harvesters from Appolo Vineyards in Derry so a small group of us planned to help out on a recent Saturday.

We arrived at the winery a little bit before 8 a.m. and met some of our fellow harvesters along with owner and winemaker Mike Appolo. This was not my first visit there as I had attended the Seacoast Barrel Tasting event in February and really enjoyed the wine. If you like a wine, the best way to learn more about it Grapes at Appolo Vineyards. Photo by Stefanie Phillips. is to see how it is made.

This is a departure for soprano saxplayer Newsome, a New York jazz player who’s released five CDs of solo material, and yes, that means just him and his sax noodling around. That approach has left him pinned as a relatively obscure curiosity to the buying public, if not the small army of soprano sax artists he’s reached out to through his blog and so on – his life mission centers on exploring his instrument, which resembles a giant flutophone, not the iconic curved contours of the tenor sax, the weapon of choice for your Coltranes and Rollinses. But yes, as I said, a departure, as this time he’s recorded with a partner, French pianist Jean-Micel Pilc, whose formidable list of grants includes a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. The music itself consists of one-take “conversations” between the two with, believe it or not, an emphasis on minimalism, specifically in the form of standards which, they acknowledge, have been “done to death.” Here, Ellington, Monk and Coltrane get their scripts flipped in what can sometimes come off like beatnik noise (the tail end of “Autumn Leaves”), but with their deep feeling for the songs these are, yes, intelligent conversations.

It was always obvious that this Scottish art-rock guitarist/pianist had a lot of training, what with the razor-edge runs his keyboard added to the material his old band, Rip Rig + Panic, presented on albums like 1981’s God, which sounded like early Wire but with more bonking madness. Like the other musician we’re covering on this page, Sager has had little problem remaining relatively unrecognized for his earlier work with the aforementioned Panic, not to mention The Pop Group, but in Sager’s case the goal has traditionally been about making discombobulated, punkish statements with a vigorous nod to Captain Beefheart. But the guy’s 56 now, and maybe thinking about all the soundtrack offers he’s turned down over the years, if that even happened, but I’d be surprised if it hadn’t; he’s genuinely admired by Nick Cave for one. These 14 tracks are no more unnerving than what you’d imagine a solo piano would have done for a movie like Cold Mountain — the scale work and arpeggios glisten with intent, affection and, OK, a little bizarreness, but steeping yourself in it really does feel like finding a rare gem that only you’ll know about.

• Kelly Clarkson won the first season of American Idol. Everybody knows that, but they might not know that she didn’t wind up like so many other winners, leading all the other waitresses in singing “Happy Birthday” at TGIFridays. I dunno, to me, leaving the selection of new “push” talent up to an American public that has trouble answering the question “who did we fight in the Mexican-American War” correctly doesn’t bode well. But then again, I’m not often mistaken for a nice person when I write about new releases, so let’s just move along and look at Clarkson’s new LP, The Meaning of Life, which is due out Oct. 27. The first single, “Love So Soft,” is pretty decent actually, with enough Amy Winehouse steez that you might be able to stomach the Kesha part. Finally free of that rotten RCA recording contract that paid for her mansions and pet ligers, Clarkson obviously had a lot of control over this, which, I’ll admit, came out well.

• Emo-nerd-rock geeks Weezer will eventually become the Rolling Stones of emo, since My Chemical Romance gave up their own shot at it, and yes, I just called your precious MCR “emo” and I can get away with it because neener. Yup, Rivers Cuomo will be an AV club version of Mick someday, running around doing shows and still not getting girls. But he may get girls for the unexpected chill vibe on “Beach Boys,” the single from the new LP Pacific Daydream, streeting Oct. 27. Cuomo, newly brave after finally getting some respect two albums ago, appears to have felt safe to throw out some big ska chords that don’t cause any trouble, at least on this song, a mellow but angular rocker that, if it isn’t about barbecues, should be.

• Uh oh, gangway kiddies, it’s more mass-produced product from rap-metal stalwarts Hollywood Undead, with their new album, Five! This title, Five, isn’t just to signify their fifth album, but also the fact that there are five members, all in MF Doom gear, rappin’ and bringin’ the metal, let’s go listen! Yee-hah, the new single “Whatever It Takes” has an 80s-indie-metal beat, sort of like Mercyful Fate, and then they all do their Eminem impressions, “spitting” lines like “When I pull out the nine, you better wave bye bye!” No problem, always happy to save our readers some MP3 space.

• You know the new Bootsy Collins album World Wide Funk is going to bring the funk hammer down, because he came up with James Brown back in the 1800s, and then he was in ParliamentFunkadelic! The new single from this 65-year-old funk-a-maniac, “Worth My While,” is guested by none other than ColombianAmerican diva Kali Uchis, and no, I haven’t heard of her either.

But so what, the song is awesome, an organic makeout-in-thecar joint with actual wah-wah pedal on the guitar, real drums and some other stuff that makes it sound 50 years old, but you’ll feel totally sexy, and what else matters, really? — Eric W. Saeger

Exhibition shows the process of creating comic books

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

If you want a close look at how comic books are created, Studio 550 Community Art Center in Manchester is offering it in its new exhibition, “The Art of Comic Book Storytelling,” on view now through Saturday, Nov. 4, with a special event on Saturday, Oct. 28.

Studio 550 often hosts exhibitions and community workshops centered around traditional arts and crafts, such as pottery, fiber and paper arts, drawing and painting, stained glass and jewelry, but program director Monica Leap wanted to bring something new to the center. She linked up with marketer and comic book enthusiast NaBeela Washington to develop an exhibition that would highlight the steps involved in producing a comic book from start to finish.

“This isn’t a traditional comic book exhibit,” Washington said. “It allows people to step back and see the big picture, and to get a peek behind the veil of what goes into making a comic book, and how it gets onto the shelves or even onto the big screen.”

The exhibition will feature work by several artists, including an artist from Russia, New England art students and New England College alumnus and comic book writing instructor Brian Furtado.

Visitors can see in-progress and completed comics in various stages, from the notes brainstorming the story arc and characters, to the dialogue script and first sketches, and finally, to the completed product where everything comes together.

“We’re trying to show the whole process,” Washington said. “Everything has to be planned and laid out a certain way. It doesn’t happen overnight. These artists spend months and sometimes even years working on one comic book.”

While the exhibition will focus on superhero-themed comics, there will be a range of media and artistic styles represented. For example, Washington said, some of the comics are drawn with bold lines and exaggerated features whereas others tend more toward realism, with thinner lines and detailed shading and colors. Mediums may include marker, ink, watercolor or digital art.

“There are so many different types of comics, and the stories and styles are so varied and unique,” she said. “You can see the ways that these artists differentiate themselves and are able to say, ‘Hey, this is my style, and when you see this image, you’ll know it’s me.’”

In addition to the exhibit, there will be a special event on Saturday, Oct. 28, from 6 to 8 p.m., celebrating comics and super-

Costumes are encouraged, and there will be prizes for the best costumes and goodie bags for the first 10 people in the door. Manchester comic book store Double Midnight Comics & Games will have a table with free comics for all. There will be a make-your-own-mask activity for kids, and superhero-themed hors d’oeuvres will be served. At 7 p.m., featured artist Brian Furtado will give a brief lecture on comic book storytelling and the process of crafting a narrative for comic books and graphic novels. Of course, attendees will also have a chance to see the exhibition, and to ask Leap or Washington any questions they have about it.

One of the primary goals of the exhibition, Washington said, is to bring the general community and the local comic book scene together to learn about comics as an art form, and to facilitate the recent resurgence of interest in comic books.

“It’s been hard for comics — or books, or any physical paper medium, really — to thrive in this digital era, but I think lately, comics are becoming more appreciated,” she said. “More and more people are coming back to it because they miss the tangible connection to stories and being able to actually see the work that an artist puts into something.”

Ikigai by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles is a small, compact compilation of interview snips, research and personal comments that can be read in one sitting.

It covers the “secrets” and habits of the world’s longest-living people in the Japanese village of Ogimi.

The term “Ikigai” roughly translates to “purpose in life.” In Japan, everything is done with Ikigai in mind. Work, home and even play all revolve around your purpose and making the world a better place.

With this in mind, there is no true “retirement” in Japan. If you love your work and if your work reflects your purpose in life then why would you stop just because you’re getting older?

Who doesn’t want to live a nice long life, right? The only problem is that we want to be healthy and active enough to be able to participate. What good is reaching 100 if you are confined to a bed and you don’t recognize your surroundings?

The villagers interviewed talk about getting up each morning tending their gardens, having breakfast and then either going to work or visiting with friends. Continued purpose and companionship in the form of family and friends are seen as essential to a purposeful and long life.

According to Ikigai if you want to live long you don’t have to work out hard each day but you do need to move your body every day. Walks to friends’ houses and to the stores are common as are daily gentle exercises like tai chi, which helps to stretch and use the major muscles.

Many of the people interviewed practice something called “Hara Hachi Bu.” It’s both a philosophy and a prayer that’s said before and after each meal. The phrase roughly translates to “80 percent.” It’s a way to remind them to not overeat or take more than their share.

They sit down to a meal and they take roughly 80 percent of what they need or want. It’s a way of making sure that all can share and that there is enough food to go around. Coincidentally, it’s also a way to avoid obesity, a condition that is hard to find in people who are over 100 years old.

Beside watching how much they eat, these villagers also make sure they eat a wide variety of food. On average they eat 17 different foods a day and are always careful to include something that’s pickled or fermented. Compare that to an average American diet where in the same day we’re likely to eat hash

browns with breakfast, potato chips with lunch, and then mashed potatoes with dinner.

Ikigai’s advice does tend to fall apart when you get to the individual bits of advice from elders — enjoy alcohol, don’t drink, smoke, don’t eat any meat.

It could be said that some of the people lived to a ripe old productive age simply due to genetics or luck. Still, there are certainly general trends that help. Basically eating a healthy diet, being active and having a connection to a community will do a body good.

It would be easy to dismiss this book.

It’s small and less than 200 pages, a quick read. In fact, after I finished it, I thought to myself “Really? That’s it?”

The value in this book lies in the reflection that comes afterward.

I have already told many of my friends about Hara Hachi bu. I try to remind myself of it when I sit in front of food.

It’s not that I’m depriving myself of anything, it’s that I’m being mindful of others who might also come to the table.

When I sit for hours (and hours) at my desk, I’m reminded that I really should get up and go for a walk — not a long one, just a walk.

Each major life topic is covered in a separate chapter. The book is wellresearched and includes an appendix listing resources and references for each chapter.

Ikigai is a philosophy, it’s a blueprint, and it’s a soft prayer reminding you that in order to enjoy this life, you have to work at it by taking care of your body and your relationships. This book is one of those that will live in your mind long after you put it down. B — Wendy E.N. Thomas

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Geostorm (PG-13)

Somebody breaks the weather and only Gerard Butler can fix it in Geostorm, a disaster movie that is just as ridiculous as it sounds.

Jake Lawson (Butler) is a doofy American hothead who built a satellite net, called Dutch Boy, that controls the extreme weather events that had plagued Earth. He is fired — by his congressional staffer brother Max (Jim Sturgess), no less — from the Dutch Boy project for being too much of a hothead who insults politicians, won’t follow orders, etc.

A few years later, Jake is living in a trailer within viewing distance of Cape Canaveral in Florida (where the shuttles take off to the international space station that oversees Dutch Boy) and hanging out with his unnecessary plot-point daughter twice a month. He’s less than delighted to see Max, who needs to quietly hire a fix-it guy after malfunctions of Dutch Boy cause a flash freeze in Afghanistan, a fire storm in China and the death of a crew member aboard the space station.

Currently America controls the system but within weeks it will be handed over to an international agency. U.S. President Andrew Palma (Andy Garcia) is adamant that the system be fixed before it’s handed over and the glitches endanger international support for Dutch Boy. Jake travels up to the space station, where he receives the help of an international team: German Ute Fassbinder (Alexandra Maria Lara), Mexican Al Hernandez (Eugenio Derbez), Nigerian Eni Adisa (Adepero Oduye), Frenchman Ray Dussette (Amr Waked) and Brit Duncan Taylor (Robert Sheehan). Quickly, Jake determines that the malfunctions aren’t malfunctions but the result of intentional sabotage. He puts aside his differences with his brother to warn him that not only is somebody using the weather system to create mayhem and destruction but also the perpetrator is somebody at the highest levels of the

AT THE MULTIPLEX

Opening Friday, Oct. 27: Jigsaw (R) Sequel/reboot something alert! The whole Saw death trap murder thing returns in this, the eighth movie of the series (or first movie in a new series? Or maybe space-time is broken and it’s all one movie we keep reliving?); Suburbicon (R) Here’s what I can say for sure about this movie: Matt Damon stars in this movie directed

by George Clooney and written by (and, based on trailers, very much looks like it’s written by) Joel and Ethan Coen as well as Clooney and Grant Heslov.

Geostorm

U.S. government, possibly President Andy Garcia himself.

Max, along with his girlfriend U.S. Secret Service Agent Sarah Wilson (Abbie Cornish), a state department worker/hacker named Dana (Zazie Beetz) and Dutch Boy specialist in China Cheng Long (Daniel Wu), must work fast to uncover the scheme before the villain causing the satellites to go rogue causes a chain reaction of weather events that will overtake the entire planet. In other words, a geostorm! Whatever that is!

Geostorm has too much and too little of what makes this kind of disaster movie fun.

Too much with Jake’s daughter (I don’t really need a personal connection to an Earthbound person to believe that Jake would be anti-world-destruction). Not enough “why a person is destroying the world with weather.”

(There are two possible stated motivations but neither one — so the U.S. can keep control of Dutch Boy and/or to wipe out all of the U.S.’s enemies — is presented in a way that is all that sense-making based on the action that has come before.) Too much of Max and Sarah. Not enough of the fun international team on the space station. (Forget science; this movie, which seems to have built that crew specifically for an international audience,

Quick Takes *Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (R) Rebecca Hall, Bella Heathcote.

Alternate title could have been: Two Intelligent, Professional-Boundaries-Pushing Women Have a Loving Relationship and Allow a Middling Academic To Hang Out With Them. This domestic biopic looks at the relationship between William Moulton Marston, creator of the Wonder Woman comic; his wife Elizabeth Marston and Olive Byrne, Marston’s student and research assistant who even-

HIPPO | OCTOBER 26 - NOVEMBER 1, 2017 | PAGE 48

tually lives with the couple.

Both women have children by Marston, who uses them as his inspiration for the Wonder Woman character, which he intends as a vehicle for introducing feminist ideas to young readers (much to the horror of some morality police types).

The romantic heat (and heart) of the movie lies in the relationship between Elizabeth and Olive and the strongest character development is of Rebecca Hall’s Elizabeth, for whom we get the most indepth look at her thoughts and emotions. In particular, that performance and the look at

doesn’t even do pandering right.)

This movie also does not have enough in the way of laughs, either with or at the movie would be fine with me but we get neither. CRated PG-13 for destruction, action and violence. Directed by Dean Devlin with a screenplay by Dean Devlin and Paul Guyot, Geostorm is an hour and 49 minutes long and distributed by Warner Bros.

Only the Brave (PG-13)

Arizona firefighters work on the front lines of wilderness firefighting in Only the Brave, based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots who died in an Arizona wildfire in 2013.

This movie shows the formation of the team that will become the Granite Mountain Hotshots — firefighters who are out front fighting wilderness fires. At the beginning of the movie, the group are not yet certified for this work and do brush clearing and controlled burns behind the “front lines” where other Hotshots operate. Supervisor Eric Marsh (Josh Brolin) seeks his team’s promotion because, as the movie explains, it would give them more on-the-ground authority for how to fight and control a fire, get their divihow women negotiate their place in society in the early 20th century make the movie worth a watch even for those uninterested in the comic book and its heroine. B

sion more money (towns “rent out” their Hotshots to other agencies, in particular to the federal government for fires on federal land) and get more money for the individual firefighters, which would make them less likely to leave for other teams.

Marsh’s second in command is Jesse Steed (James Badge Dale), who helps train new recruits including Brendan McDonough (Miles Teller). When we first meet McDonough, he’s getting high with a buddy and soon has been arrested, thrown out of the house by his mom and told to keep away by his pregnant ex-girlfriend. A few months later, inspired by impending fatherhood to pull himself together, he tries out for Marsh’s team. The training is rough but slowly he gains the necessary skills and respect of the other men.

Most of this movie is these stories: the team gaining its Hotshot certification, McDonough pulling his life together, Marsh’s relationship with his wife Amanda (Jennifer Connelly), Marsh’s close professional relationship with his direct superior Duane Steinbrink (Jeff Bridges), who is trying to help him navigate the system to get his team certified.

This movie could have very easily not worked. That it does, and remains mostly engaging throughout, is a credit to the performances. Brolin, Connelly, Dale, Bridges and Teller give some heft to their characters and make them interesting people to watch.

Connelly makes her character particularly compelling — independent, even, from the story of the firefighters. (“Let’s get more work for Connelly” is one of my takeaways from this movie.)

This movie is really just a (sometimes meandering) collection of life stories, with most of the focus on Marsh and McDonough.

Though I don’t know that the movie needed the full two hours and 13 minutes, there is something about the ordinariness of everything that happens in the first, say, 80 percent of the movie — professional difficulties,

The Snowman (R)

A killer murders women, leaving behind a snowman, in The Snowman, a pretty but stupid crime mystery set in Norway.

Harry Hole (Michael Fassbender) drinks until he passes out many nights and yet holds onto his police detective job in Oslo. Looking to chase the mental goblins away, he latches onto a missing person’s case worked by fellow detective Katrine Bratt (Rebecca Ferguson). A woman vanishes in the middle of the night leaving her young daughter home alone and the door to the house open.

Harry suspects she’s just having an affair but Katrine has files with other similar missing women. And she thinks a cold case involving a woman who was found chopped up years earlier is also related. That woman had a connection to Arve Stop (J.K. Simmons), a wealthy businessman.

When another woman (an underused

Chloe Sevigny) is murdered, a doctor (David Dencik) surfaces as a connection between some of the women as well as a connection to Arve. Katrine’s eagerness to connect Arve to the murders seems to outstrip both evidence and sense so Harry sort of lazily looks into her background. As Harry investigates, we’re treated to some flashbacks almost not worth mentioning but which include an extremely weird performance by Val Kilmer. (I actually did a fair amount of Internet digging to figure out what is up with him here — his appearance and “his” possibly dubbed voice — and I still have no idea.)

Harry receives a note with a snowman drawing at the beginning of the movie, which seems to be the killer specifically taunting him — though, this ultimately doesn’t amount to much. And even when Harry forms a very casual-seeming task force to look into all these murders/disappearances, the police officers don’t seem to communicate with each other about evidence or leads or ever get backup when they go to investigate anything.

Layered on the tangle of crime stuff is Harry’s personal life, which includes exgirlfriend Rakel (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and her son Oleg (Michael Yates). She now lives with a mild-mannered doctor, Mathias (Jonas Karlsson), but Harry is still a part of her and Oleg’s life.

Perhaps this weird collection of accents (some people are British! Some are North American-y! Some people are whatever J.K. Simmons is doing!) would have worked better as a Norwegian movie with subtitles. It probably wouldn’t have been worse; some of the dialogue might be more forgivable if presented in subtitles, which I always grade on a “lost in translation” curve.

The Snowman has none of the tension or investigative procedural fun you’d want from this kind of thriller. Several story points go nowhere, not in the “red herring”sense but more in the sense of the movie having forgotten about them. The way the killer’s story weaves back into the stories of the rest of the characters feels like a cheat and a bit of “he’s the last character standing so, er, he did it.”

Harry isn’t just the tiresome anti-hero detective I’m all done with watching on Peak TV; he’s also an uninteresting character we both learn too much about (I would have paid twice the ticket price for everything with his girlfriend and her son to be sliced right out of the movie) and kind of know nothing about (Harry Hole drinks too much, the end). Katrine is an even worse character who seems to have been written by maybe three different people, none of whom got to see the others’ work.

Based on half-remembered book reviews and some Wikipedia-ing, I get that The Snowman and Harry Hole are part of author Jo Nesbø’s Norwegian crime series and there’s probably something to this series (and maybe even this particular story) that could have worked with a lot of editing and much better writing. Perhaps the thinking was that the cinematography of the gray and blue frozen north plus the high-quality collection of actors would be enough to cover any problems with plot or writing. Well, it wasn’t. D Rated R for grisly images, violence, some language, sexuality and brief nudity. Directed by Tomas Alfredson with a screenplay

by Peter Straughan and Hossein Amini and Søren Sveistrup (from the novel by Jo Nesbø), The Snowman is an hour and 59 minutes long and distributed by Universal Pictures.

personal difficulties, arguing couples, learning to be a parent — that makes the final act so emotionally devastating and the deaths so shocking. I could nitpick some of the story choices but taken as a whole the movie does give you a sense of exactly what happened: men who displayed heroism in the face of danger dying suddenly, in the middle of their full lives, with their stories nowhere close to finished.

Hit the switch

Say Darling returns to Riverwalk

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

While Celia Woodsmith was earning accolades and a Grammy nomination as a member of Della Mae, she wrote several songs that were too plugged in for a bluegrass band. With the group on hiatus in 2016, she shared them with guitarist Chris Hersch, who’d left Girls, Guns & Glory after six years.

When the two longtime friends started collaborating, things clicked immediately.

“It’s probably the smoothest partnership I’ve ever had creatively,” Hersch said in a recent phone interview. “Even during our first gig, I was like, ‘Whoa, so this is happening now?’”

In an interview last spring, Woodsmith said, “I don’t think we had much pressure on ourselves to create something, but we had so much fun ... we knew we just had to follow it up.”

The name they chose, however, was a problem. Woodsmith & Hersch sounded like a folk duo to many bookers.

“Since Celia came from the bluegrass scene, a lot of people thought it was acoustic,” Hersch said.

But with a taut rhythm section recruited from Woodsmith’s pre-Della Mae band Hey Mama, and Scott Coulter on electric key51 625-0246) Halloween Party with DJ dancing at 9 p.m. Party in the back room, with prizes for best costume and other giveaways.

boards, it was anything but.

“We’d show up with five guys ready to rock,” Hersch said. “It was creating confusion.”

The looming release of the band’s first EP forced the issue. After scuttling 20 or 30 possibilities, they took a line from one of the record’s songs, “Thread That Shimmers,” and chose Say Darling. Hersch mentioned an old-time song with a similar name as another reason.

“So it has a little roots in it but it’s got rock; it can be a soft or a hard thing,” he said. chester, 641-2583) Scream at 8 p.m. DJs Shawn White and EP spin the tunes with cash and prizes for sexiest costumes. This party’s been running for 20 years.

“It’s a coincidence that Celia’s last electric band had a similar name.”

The new record is getting traction.

“Once people hear it they love it,” Hersch said. “In Celia’s case, they’re surprised that it rocks because she’s been making bluegrass albums for the past few years. It’s been fun for her fans to hear her really rock out.

The response has been pretty positive.”

The group has found a welcoming home in Nashua. In September, they warmed up a chilly night at the New England Roots Music Festival, earning perhaps the best crowd response of the outdoor event. They’re booked to play Oct. 28 at Riverwalk Cafe, where they’ll appear again on New Year’s Eve, with opening act Dan Blakeslee.

Hersch has enjoyed Riverwalk since it opened a few years ago.

“I immediately fell in love with the staff, the sound and the way they approach booking.,” he said. “It has a reputation among musicians ... they treat the bands well, it’s usually a good listening audience, and a good-size room.”

Leaving his old band meant starting over, but Hersch said he was ready for a change.

“Six years of working with those guys and at that point nothing new was happening,” he said. “It was kind of used up, the relationship. I know that sounds kind of dark. But it was time to move on creatively and work with new people. Some bands are meant to

last decades, some only a few years.”

Though it made sense creatively, the move introduced many challenges.

“It’s not easy starting over; infrastructure for that band was already in place; it had some legs,” Hersch said. “But in the end you have to go where you’re happy and the music is happening.”

His friendship with Woodsmith and Coulter (the best man at his wedding) helped the decision process.

“I knew Celia would have some extra time,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to start this band, but I was waiting for the right timing to get it off the ground. That certainly factored into my decision to change course.”

To someone like Woodsmith, who’s long had a Hammond B3 on her band bucket list, Coulter is the group’s mojo.

“I love that sound,” she said in an interview last spring. “I think that more than anything else it complements my voice and gets me to what I’m going for.”

It will be a Halloween bash of sorts.

“We’re figuring out what to go as right now,” Hersch said. “It’s in the works.”

SIGNS OF LIFE to talk about it anymore, when the opposite is true. If you don’t know what to say, just say you don’t know what to say.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Although I feel much more empathy on the inside, I still have trouble showing it on the outside.

Although I am observant of others, I still talk about myself too much. It is a time of observations.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Abby Wambach ... helped keep me from tripping at the ESPY awards nine months earlier in my first public appearance. I will always be indebted to her for that. Watch your step.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) I realize I can’t please everybody. All I can do is be myself, and it’s taken me sixty-five years to do that. … I also think that many people make the assumption that because I was on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, I am as frivolous as the show is often meant to be. But I am not that way in real life. There’s room for both seriousness and frivolity.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) You become friendly with someone who pulls your hair follicles out week after week. … When you are not trying to reduce the pain medically, talking is the only antidote. It’s a good time to make friendly connections.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) One of the best times of the week is Tuesday, when I play at Sherwood in a women’s foursome, where we gab and laugh and trade style tips and I outdrive them by 150 yards and they still like me.

In a men’s foursome I would hear the grumblings of competitive jealousy all the way into the next county. You’ll miss out if you let competitiveness overtake everything.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) I don’t go many places, mostly to a nearby Starbucks on the Pacific Coast Highway to get my grande vanilla latte fix. You’ll go where you need to go.

All quotes are from The Secrets of My Life,

by Caitlyn Jenner, born Oct. 28, 1949.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) The sad sack snoops make note of what I am wearing: a purple skirt that is described as a micro mini when the fact is that all professional golfers wear a skirt above the knee to effectively hit the ball, a white quarter-zip sweatshirt (in other words, a standard golf jacket), and a white visor. They call me “sexy” as if I dressed up for the occasion when all I am doing is trying to play golf in an outfit that was given to me

by Kang. I didn’t even pick it out. Plus, what really pisses me off is that most of them don’t mention my game, because I am on fire, folks.

Focus on the game.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Articulating what I believe is much more important to me than articulating what I want people to think I believe or what people think I should believe. I have been through that already in my life. You don’t really know what you believe until you can explain it to yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) We are flying above the Rockies at an altitude of 22,000 feet. It is an excellent place to talk to someone, a ready-made captive audience. George isn’t going anywhere, and neither am I. It may be time for a talk.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) I love golf.

For many years it was my therapy … to have some peace and get away from the endless chaos…. I always used to play alone, too awkward and uncomfortable to play with others. But now I join other golfers. Join the others. You’ll have fun.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Actually, being on the track makes me realize how much I don’t want to run at all. Let old hobbies make way for new ones.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) I guess they don’t know what to say, or are afraid of saying something wrong, or assume I don’t want

Alien invasion

Bryant Johnson of Casper, Wyoming, was on a mission on Oct. 2 when police responded to a call about a man warning citizens of an alien invasion coming next year. KTWO Radio in Casper reported that Johnson told police he had traveled back in time from 2048, explaining that the aliens filled his body with alcohol and had him stand on a giant pad that transported him back to 2017 although he was supposed to arrive in 2018.

He also asked to speak with the “president of the town.” Instead, Bryant was arrested for public intoxication.

Minnesota State Police nabbed a motorcycle rider on Aug. 31 who was weaving in and out of traffic on Interstate 394 and performing stunts, all while wearing a panda suit, complete with an oversize animal head. The rider told police that the panda suit was meant to help his motorcycle videos “go viral,” but police responded with a citation for reckless driving, and they confiscated the panda head.

“A panda head will not protect you in a crash like a DOT-approved helmet would,” police advised on their Facebook page.

Bureaucracy in action

In Romania, it takes more than foul weather or a damaged field to stop football. On Sept. 24, a match between Bistrita Brosteni and Vanatorul Dorna Candrenilor was abandoned just 58 minutes in after all the teams’ balls ended up in the nearby Bistrita River, according to the Hindustan Times. Bistrita was winning 2-0 when they ran out of balls.

Fans suggested they might find the balls at the Bicaz dam nearby.

Doctors thought a 47-year-old postman in Preston, Lancashire, England, who complained of a persistent cough might have cancer, as he was a long-term smoker whose X-rays showed a spot on his lung. But when they removed the mass, the BBC reported, they found the “long-lost Playmobil traffic cone” the patient had received as a gift on his seventh birthday. He told doctors he had regularly swallowed the small pieces as a child and believed he had inhaled the tiny cone.

Happy ending: After the toy was removed, the man’s cough almost disappeared and his other symptoms improved.

down the actual dead woman in Malaga, and in September of this year, she petitioned the courts to open the grave to prove that she is not the dead woman. She even offered to do a DNA test. “On the government’s computers I am dead,” Escudero said, “but for the banks I am alive and kicking.”

The owners of a mischievous ass in Vogelsberg, Hesse, Germany, have been ordered to pay for damages after Vitus the donkey apparently mistook an orange McLaren Spider sports car for a carrot. When Markus Zahn left his $411,000 car parked next to a paddock on Sept. 16, 2016, he returned to find that Vitus had nibbled on its paint to the tune of almost $7,000 in damage. “The donkey had insurance, but the insurance didn’t want to pay,” Zahn told the BBC. Vitus’s rap sheet also includes biting a Mercedes.

ed, the movie opened in Russia on Sept. 7 and had already grossed millions of dollars by late September. A spokeswoman for the FAS, confirming that the complaint had been received, said, “We can’t be concerned with the content of the film,” but the agency would determine whether it contained advertising or product placement.

Patrick Joseph Adams Jr., 36, of Great Falls, Montana, pulled the ultimate heist in July when he convinced two male friends and his girlfriend to help him “move out” of a house that wasn’t his. One of the friends was suspicious when he saw a wall in the home dedicated to military service, but didn’t remember that Adams had been in the service, the Great Falls Tribune reported. That friend left before the move was complete, but the rest of the group loaded about $40,000 worth of belongings into a U-Haul, requiring two trips. Later that evening, the true homeowner of the burglarized house called police and reported the theft, and through U-Haul records police were able to track Adams down. He was charged on Sept. 28 with burglary and criminal mischief.

The Russian division of Burger King has asked the country’s Federal Anti-Monopoly Service to ban Stephen King’s horror movie It from showing in Russian theaters because the clown character, Pennywise, looks too much like Ronald McDonald, and therefore the movie is advertising for McDonald’s.

Except she’s still very much alive. FOX News reports that a Malaga, Spain, woman died on that date who shared Escudero’s full name and birthdate. As a result, Escudero was pronounced dead by the government, which has given her headaches ever since. For instance, she can’t renew her driver’s license or go to the doctor. Finally, in April 2016, she tracked

Ironies

Samantha Faye Toope, 20, and Kelsie Laine Marie Mast, 23, inmates of the Edmonton (Alberta, Canada) Institution for Women, must have been pumped up about their successful escape from prison on Oct. 2, so they headed to a downtown “escape room” a problem-solving and strategy game room. SideQuests Adventures owner Rebecca Liaw told CBC News that the women arrived at the business on Oct. 3 and inquired about the game. As Liaw explained how it works, five uniformed police officers arrived and handcuffed the cons, both of whom Edmonton police described as violent offenders with weapons offenses. “We get lots of interesting visitors,” Liaw said, “but this is definitely top of the list.”
