HIPPO | NOVEMBER 16 - 22, 2017 | PAGE 2

Tax and cut The president and Congress are pushing for a tax overhaul that largely is aimed at lowering corporate tax rates. While tax cuts make for nice bumper stickers, what we need now is higher taxes on corporations and less spending. Even though the economy is on solid ground, we continue to deficit spend — spending $560 billion more in 2017 than the federal government took in.

It doesn’t need to be super-complicated.

When times are tough the federal government spends more and taxes less. This does two things. It creates a safety net for people and gives people more money to spend and in turn improves the economy. But now times are better. Unemployment is at its lowest level in 15 years and the economy is growing at a solid rate. If not now, when do we tackle our federal debt problems?

The proposed tax reforms are mostly aimed at lowering the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 20 percent. Supporters argue that American companies aren’t competitive because of the 35-percent tax and reducing it will increase spending on higher wages.

The real problem is that many large corporations make more and more of their money overseas, and bringing profits back home means they have to pay that 35 percent (minus whatever taxes they have paid to other countries). But there is a good reason we have this tax system. It prevents companies from shifting profits to lower-tax countries.

Apple and many other very profitable tech companies do this, shifting profits from intellectual property to small island nations where they pay less in taxes. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Facebook have all benefited from government spending to create things such as GPS, the internet and our civil society to protect their intellectual property. These corporations are already sitting on $1.84 trillion, some of that here and some of that overseas. For whatever reason they aren’t using that money to pay higher wages or invest more in their businesses or to pay taxes. And now we want to give these companies more of a tax break?

Will lowering their taxes suddenly incentivize them to start hiring more, investing more and paying more? It’s unlikely. If they were going to do that they’d spend some of the $1.84 trillion they have in the bank.

Taxes on these companies need to go up, not down, and at the same time we need to get serious about cutting spending. That means making tough decisions on reducing spending on the military, Social Security and other programs. If we did both those things we’d be able to keep the tax increases to a minimum and reduce spending only slightly. Now if only that would fit on a bumper sticker.

NEWS & NOTES Election results

Democrats won big in the Nov. 7 off-year municipal elections. The most historically significant outcome was the election of Joyce Craig to the office of Manchester mayor, the first woman to hold that post in the city’s history. Craig, a Democrat, defeated incumbent Republican Ted Gatsas in the nonpartisan election by about 1,500 votes, according to the city website.

Manchester residents also voted on a nonbinding resolution on a new city flag, but the voters ultimately chose the old flag over the other three options.

Jim Bouley won reelection as Concord’s mayor with 80 percent of the vote, according to the Concord city website.

Many cities also voted on whether to allow the playing of keno games, a form of gambling on computer-generated numbers that are drawn every few minutes. The state passed a law earlier this year allowing keno games in liquor pouring establishments if the local communities approve it. The profits will go toward the Education Fund to pay for additional state funding for fullday kindergarten. Even towns that don’t vote to allow keno will be able to get the additional state funding.

According to WMUR, the cities of Manchester, Nashua, Laconia, Rochester, Somersworth, Claremont and Berlin voted to approve keno. Concord, Dover and Keene voted against it. Earlier this year, Franklin approved it and Portsmouth didn’t have the votes to put the measure on the ballot. Rochester passed the measure by just one vote.

Voters in Nashua supported a plan to build a downtown performing arts center with a margin of 150 votes, NHPR reported.

Across the country, Democrats scored big wins, which many say is a referendum against President Donald Trump. Former state GOP chairman Fergus Cullen told NHPR that a Democratic wave may have contributed to Craig’s victory in Manchester. He also pointed to recent Republican losses in eight of the past 10 special elections in the legislature, in districts he called Republican areas.

he is running for Congress in the state’s 1st District, according to a press release. Pappas, a Democrat who co-owns the Puritan Backroom restaurant, previously served as a state rep for two terms in 2002 and 2004 and is currently serving his third consecutive term as Executive Councilor after first being elected in 2012. Incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter is not running for reelection in 2018, and the race is already crowded. Others seeking the Democratic nomination include former AFLCIO head Mark MacKenzie, former VA official Maura Sullivan, former Stafford County Attorney Lincoln Soldati and Rochester’s city attorney Terence O’Rourke.

Republicans in the race include state Sen. Andy Sanborn and Eddie Edwards, the former head of the state Liquor Commission’s enforcement division.

Supreme court chief

New Hampshire Supreme Court Chief Justice Linda Dalianis announced she will be retiring, according to a press release. She’ll step down from her post on April 1, 2018. Dalianis served for almost 20 years as a Superior Court judge and was the first woman to become Supreme Court chief justice in 2010. She was also the first woman to sit on the supreme court after her nomination in 2000. It’s up to Gov. Chris Sununu to nominate her replacement.

The Executive Council unanimously confirmed Will Arvelo to head up the Division of Economic Development in the newly formed state agency, the Department of Business and Economic Affairs, according to a press release. Arvelo has been the president of Great Bay Community College for 11 years and ushered the school through a period of growth. Gov. Chris Sununu said in a statement that Arvelo’s enthusiasm and passion for the state is evident, and said there’s no one better suited for the job.

Two species of insects have made a big impression in recent weeks. Yellow jackets have appeared swarming in places where humans gather, causing a public park to close in one instance, and harmless western conifer seed bugs, often mistaken for “stink bugs,” have begun to gather in large numbers near human homes, seeking shelter.

“We are not in a situation like most of the western U.S. where forests are federally owned and one decision-maker makes the optimal decision and they implement it,” Atallah said. “It’s very hard to engage with these owners and even have public policy that is one-size-fits-all.”

Using existing data sets, researchers are already about 40 percent complete in creating the ecological risk map, Atallah said.

The whole project is for three years, with an optional one-year extension.

Pretty soon they’ll be completing the survey. It will go through focus groups of local landowners in the spring and be sent out shortly afterward.

When they get the responses, they’ll combine them with the data they already have, to get a better sense of what the challenges are in convincing landowners to manage the invasive plant.

Atallah said some will manage it regardless of costs, others may want to but find they can’t afford to and others still won’t be inclined to do it either way.

Knowing how these groups are parsed out will go a long way toward crafting policies that incentivize landowners.

For instance, Atallah said, certain existing grants could be redesigned to target only those who won’t do it without the grant, which would save tax dollars.

Additional grants might be needed to help relieve the cost burden.

Or it may be a simple matter of making information on the costs and benefits more available so landowners can make an informed decision.

AT OUR BRAND NEW 2ND LOCATION! ou

A new research project being conducted by the University of New Hampshire is examining how to get diverse landowners with different interests invested in controlling invasive plant species.

According to UNH researcher Shadi Atallah, the study will focus on the invasive plant known as glossy buckthorn, a shrub that grows red berries that are often eaten by birds that spread the seed.

Glossy buckthorn’s spreading behavior can be mapped out across the white pine forests of New Hampshire and Maine based on the ecology of the land, and with some additional research into landowner decision-making through a survey.

“We are dealing with invasive plants that affect the health of the forests,” Atallah said.

The shrub affects the ability of people to enjoy and recreate in the forest, it impacts the ability to extract timber and it affects biodiversity by limiting wildlife habitat.

Primarily, it affects trees’ ability to regenerate by covering seedlings from much-needed sunlight.

Based on its spreading mechanism and the way it affects tree regeneration, the results from this study will be applicable for other similar invasive plant species such as Japanese barberry, amur honeysuckle and burning bush, according to Atallah.

The study is unique in the way it combines ecological data with economic information detailing how landowners would likely deal with the invasive plants.

Right now, part of the problem is that landowners don’t have enough information upon which to base a cost-benefit analysis.

“You are uncertain about the costs of intervening, you are uncertain about the damages that will occur, you are uncertain about the benefits of controlling them,” Atallah said.

So they may end up doing nothing. The first part of the study will help fill those holes by demonstrating the risks and costs involved with the spread of the plant.

The other complication, which is especially pronounced in the Northeast, is the fragmentation of the land into a lot of small parcels owned by various landowners, some of whom have very different incentives and values. That can make it hard to get them all united against the pesky shrub.

I live in Bedford with my wife. I have four grown children. I grew up in … Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and I’ve lived in New Hampshire now for just about 30 years.

I’ve been in the wealth management business for 28 years.

Congratulations. How did you get into this line of work?

After college, I was an engineer and went on to get my MBA. I was working in Texas at Texas Instruments. I went on to get my MBA at the University of Dallas, and when I did that I wanted to get into business. And I did some research on how to own your own business and I joined Ameriprise at that time, when we moved up here to New Hampshire.

What’s the very first thing people need to know when it comes to managing their finances that maybe often gets overlooked?

It’s kind of fresh in my mind because I’m working with my kids on this right now, but the first thing is just paying yourself first. Spending less than you make and paying yourself first. … I set a target for them to save 20 percent of their income right out of college. The feeling I have is that pensions are now a thing of the past.

People just getting started are not going to have a pension, typically. The only people who have pensions now are someone who works for the government or the state or the public schools. … But most corporations have discontinued their pensions. So what that means is it’s on the employee or on the individual to save for their own retirement and their own goals. The first thing is to figure out a budget that you can save first and spend what’s left.

Is 20 percent the number you think most people should aim to save, at least at first?

I’ve set that up for my kids because when you graduate college you’re making more money than you ever dreamed of. So

you can get started right away. But the amount someone needs to save is [based on] their goals and how long they’re going to work, when they’re going to retire. …

So it can be more or less depending on how lofty their goals are.

What if someone went to college but isn’t making that much money off the bat?

Then I would say, get started with something. Typically, if you go to work for a company, a lot of companies have a match in their 401(k). So you want to at least contribute up until you get that match. …

Then, what I would say is to increase that. … Set a goal where in three months you increase it 1 percent. And three months later increase it another 1 percent. That way it doesn’t feel like as big of a deal. … Then every chance you get try to increase that.

When you get a raise, take 15 percent of your raise and put that into savings.

What’s something that you guys are focusing on a lot at your firm?

One thing that I find a lot of people overlook is diversification of their tax plan.

What I mean by that is everybody knows you don’t want to put all your eggs in one basket from an investment standpoint.

However, what I find is a lot of people put all their eggs in one basket from a tax standpoint. In your tax plan, there’s three ways that you can invest money. The first way is pre-tax. If you have a 401(k) for instance … you can do that on a pre-tax basis. But when you do that, all that money builds up … you get a discount on your taxes today, and then it grows, tax deferred, and when you retire all that money is taxable. When you pull that out, all your money is going to be taxed, whatever your tax rate is at that time. … What we want to do is diversify into other ways to invest money, so things like the Roth IRA or the Roth 401(k). If you invest in there, which is an after-tax investment, that money comes out tax-free in retirement. Municipal bonds fall into that category, 529 plans for education and also specially designed life insurance.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Apprenticeship program underway

The Community College System of New Hampshire will celebrate the launch of its statewide apprenticeship program with an event at Manchester Community College on Friday, Nov. 17, from 1 to 3 p.m., the Union Leader reported. The program will expand Registered Apprenticeship in the state and provide more opportunities for highly skilled workers high-paying jobs to connect with employers seeking to build a qualified workforce. The program is the result of a $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor bestowed on the CCSNH last year.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The launch event will feature a panel discussion with representatives from industry, government and high education, and networking opportunities with companies sponsoring apprentices in the information technology, health care and advanced manufacturing sectors.

More hate crimes

FBI statistics released on Monday revealed that there were 40 hate crimes reported in New Hampshire last year, the highest number since 2010 and a significant jump from 2015, which saw 15 hate crimes, NHPR reported. Fifteen of the crimes were related to race or ethnicity, six were related to religion and five were related to sexual orientation.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: The FBI report showed a 4.5-percent increase in hate crimes nationally.

Report: NH has insufficient housing

All signs point to an increasingly tight housing market, with too few homes and apartments and increasing demand for both. That’s according to a November Housing Market Update released by the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority. The report said low inventory of homes for sale is persisting, especially for those priced under $300,000. There was an uptick in sales in June (8 percent) and August (9 percent) over the previous year and June set a recent high of 2,550 but the cumulative sales over the first eight months of the year are lower than in the same period last year, which signals a slowdown in sales caused by the low supply. On the rental side, many are still paying 30 percent of their income for high rents (which increased by 4.4 percent for two-bedroom units), while the vacancy rate is at an all-time low of 1.7 percent for all units.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Amid a labor shortage, businesses are seeking more workers but workers need housing. The report concludes that the housing shortage is worsening the labor shortage.

Winter season tourism looking up

Two ski areas, Bretton Woods and Wildcat Mountain, have already opened up for the season, marking the start of winter tourism. NHPR reported state tourism officials are estimating $1.25 billion will be spent in New Hampshire this winter through tourism. That’s 4 percent more than last winter. More than 8 million people are expected to visit the state during the season.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Other ski areas, like Cannon Mountain, Loon Mountain, Gunstock and Cranmore, are already making snow, NHPR reported.

The NBA is underway and those folks who gave up on the entire season after the season-ending injury suffered by free agent import Gordon Hayward five minutes into the season already appear to have been completely right to do so, as all the Cs have done since that injury is win 12 straight while compiling the NBA’s best record. Friday night was the best, when they had no Hayward, no Al Horford, no Kyrie Irving after two minutes in, Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier and Jaylon Brown were an unsightly 9 for 42 from the field combined, the team shot 35 percent overall and trailed Charlotte by 18 late in the third quarter and they still somehow won 90-87.

It’s a long way to go, but these guys already have Tommy Heinsohn gushing over showing the same kind of spunk the team Danny Ainge completely turned over this summer had the last couple of years. Now, while I make a note to myself to always listen to the “the sky is falling crowd” going forward, here are some stories to keep an eye as the NBA season unfolds.

Guess I’m finally going to have to learn how to pronounce Antetokounmpo. I’ve been putting that off since 2013 hoping Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo would bust so I wouldn’t have to worry about it. Kind of like I did when the Who Man was playing for the Patriots. But, with him averaging 31 and 10 per it looks like the Greek Freak has moved into the NBA Top 10 players — at least.

P.S. What would this Celtics team be like if they had the freak and Draymond Green?

Coulda happened, as Danny passed on Antetokounmpo at 13 in favor of Kelly Olynyk in 2013, a year after taking the late Fab Melo at 22 with Green (and Jae Crowder) and still on the board. Those were major misses.

Ditto for Kristaps Porzingis, who by averaging 30 per is justifying all the slobber-

Honesty.

Respect.

Professionalism.

Courtesy.

HIPPO | NOVEMBER 16 - 22, 2017 | PAGE 10

ing the New York media has done over him the last few years. His big jump in points just happens to have happened with Melo no longer around to hog the ball. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Since I think Chris Paul is among the most overrated players in NBA history, I thought Vegas made a big mistake dropping the odds from 30-1 to 15-1 on the Rockets’ winning the NBA title after he got traded to Houston in June. But with the vaunted Paul hurt and the team rolling behind an incredible start by James Harden at point, the talk now is, should he give the ball back to Paul when he returns?

From the I’m Not Always Right department: When Oak City made the risky trade for Indiana’s free-agent-to-be Paul George I said it could kill two franchises with one stone.

Because if the two bonded, he might bring L.A.-raised Russell Westbrook with him when George headed to his hometown to join the Lakers as most everyone assumed he’d do this summer. Well, thanks to a whopper of a contract extension, Westbrook is staying put, which may help keep George there too.

When healthy, Joel Embiid is a dominating player. But with visions of Greg Oden flashing in their heads you’ve got to figure the folks in Philly squeezed the pen pretty tight as they gave Embiid (gulp) $165 million guaranteed after he’s been only healthy enough to play 30 of 246 career games so far.

While JR Smith is already back in the starting lineup, the Height of Hypocrisy Award goes to memory-impaired Famer and ESPN yacker Scottie Pippen. It was rich hearing him say Smith shouldn’t be ticked that his spot automatically was given to Dwyane Wade after he signed with Cleveland because “he should put team ahead of himself.” That’s the same Scottie Pippen who after Phil Jackson called for Toni Kukoc to take the final shot instead of him in the waning seconds of a 1994 playoff game quit on his team by refusing to take the floor.

I love when a player who does something wrong, as Bobby Portis did when he cold-

cocked Chicago Bulls teammate Nikola Mirotic in practice a while back, says “I feel like I let my fans down.” Aside from the selfabsorption of saying that, my question is, how many “fans” could a stiff like Portis actually have? Meanwhile Mirotic says he won’t play until Portis is traded.

Unless the lottery gods are really kind, forget getting the L.A. pick in the 2018 draft, because they’re not finishing in the bottom five. So Celtic Nation’s focus will be on hoping Sacramento is as awful as usual in 2018-19.

Lay off Lonzo Ball. Why boo a kid who hasn’t done a thing just because of his mouthy father LaVar? Not even George Steinbrenner fired anyone three games into a season. But that’s what Phoenix did to Earl Watson. Admittedly losing by 49 and 45 in two of them was a bad start. But that only happens if the GM blames the mess he’s created on the coach to save his own job.

Could the Lakers retiring both 8 and 24 for Kobe Bryant be any more self-indulgent?

But, of course, it is L.A. after all. Kobe made a choice; they should too.

If you’re wondering, Avery Bradley is off to a nice start in Detroit. But Jaylan Brown’s 14.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.9 steals averages are pretty close to Avery’s 16.4, 2.0, 1.3, 1.5 numbers in Motown, so he hasn’t really been missed.

So what’s the X-factor in the fast start Brad Stevens somehow getting his team past the Hayward injury so quickly? Surprisingly mature play of Brown and Jayson Tatum, seven guys averaging double figures in points, or going from 26th in the NBA a year ago to fourth-best in rebounding this season?

Imagine, I went a whole NBA column without mentioning LeBron James once.

ESPN can’t go even a paragraph without doing that.

Pinkerton on the other hand moved on with a convincing 45-28 win over topranked Salem behind two TDs each from Gennaro Marra and Josh McCormack in a game that nearly slipped away after the Blue Devils rallied from down 31-13 at the half to 31-28 after three quarters.

crust Plan a feast in a flaky

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Pie is the pièce de résistance of many a Thanksgiving meal. Whether it’s a traditional apple or pumpkin pie or something more innovative, like maple bourbon pecan or blueberry lemon, most people leave just enough room for a slice or two for dessert.

This year, why not make pie the star of the whole meal? As local bakers and cooking experts suggest, pie doesn’t have to be just for dessert. In fact, savory pies as entrees — think pork pie or mince pies — can be bought ahead of time and cooked Thanksgiving Day. Appetizer-sized pies can be served before the meal or during it, as side dishes. And, of course, there are all kinds of dessert pies that you can make or buy to end things on a sweet note. And then leftover favorites like turkey, stuffing or squash can be thrown together for an after-the-holiday meal or two.

Here’s what you need to know to make — or buy — your own all-pie meal.

The crust

When it comes to buying a premade crust or making your own, different ingredients and methods apply depending on what you’re baking, according to Alison Ladman, owner of The Crust & Crumb Baking Co. in Concord.

HIPPO | NOVEMBER 16 - 22, 2017 | PAGE 12

Pork Pie at The Crust & Crumb Baking Co.

“With a cream pie, you’re probably doing a crumb crust, like a graham cracker,” she said. “With an apple pie, you don’t want to do that, though, because it would get soggy. And obviously you don’t want a sweet crust if you’re doing a savory pie.”

Basic pie dough Courtesy of Jacob Maxwell, bakery manager for the Concord Food Co-Op (pre-made crusts are available for purchase) 19 ounces pastry flour 11 ounces all-purpose flour 4 ounces sugar

Ladman said if she is making a more flaky type of crust, she’ll often make sure to leave chunks and streaks of fat when rolling the dough, and there are different types of fat that can be used.

“Lard makes a lovely crust,” she said.

“Butter also has great flavor, and shortening has a great texture.”

Local food blogger Susan Nye said that for dessert pies, she recommends using phyllo dough combined with lots of butter.

“Thanksgiving has always meant apple or pumpkin [pies] in my house,” she said, “but I have to confess that I don’t like to be too traditional, which is why I use the phyllo dough.”

She also likes to bake a pumpkin cheesecake using gingersnap cookies.

If you want to take a more simplistic route, you can also buy or make a more traditional one-size-fits-all pie crust.

“We sell frozen crusts that we make here that you can use for pretty much anything,” Concord Food Co-Op bakery 1 teaspoon salt 16 ounces cold butter, cubed 8 ounces ice cold water Mix dry ingredients together. In a food processor, pulse dry ingredients and cubed butter until fully incorporated. Add water and mix by hand until no dryness remains.

More water may be needed.

manager Jacob Maxwell said. “Pie crusts are so versatile that they can form almost any kind of thing into it.”

If you’re making your own version of this basic dough (see recipe in the box below), Maxwell said you can portion out the crusts and freeze them ahead of time to make preparation easier on Thanksgiving Day. “[The crusts] keep really well in the freezer,” he said. “You can freeze them ahead of time and then bake the pie [once you add the filling] for Thanksgiving and there won’t be a loss of flavor.”

Starting small

Appetizers and side dishes can come in pie form, too.

“You could put stuffing in a pie if you want to,” Ladman said. “If you’re talking savory pies, something like a mushroom turnover filling would be nice, or you could do a meat filling or a butternut squash filling.”

Ladman said you can either use smallersized pans or mold them by hand.

“Muffin tins make great little mini pies.

You can also make them free-form, so that you just take like a round of dough and put the filling in the middle, and fold it over and seal it around the edges, sort of like a turnover.,” she said. “If you’re doing a foldover pie, then you want to make sure that the filling is not too runny, because it will seep out the side.”

Chef and cooking instructor Liz Barbour of The Creative Feast in Hollis said the crusts used to make these smaller pies can either be made from a basic pie dough recipe cut into big enough shapes to fill the muffin tin or pan you are using, or they can be bought.

“There are tiny premade appetizer crusts that are perfect for filling that you can use,” she said. “They usually don’t need to be cooked but they can be.”

Once you have your crust, the possibilities for adding your own appetizer pie fillings are endless.

Savory servings

Meat-based savory pies can be good substitutes for the main course of a Thanksgiving meal — there’s pork pie, or tourtiere, which can be made with either minced pork, veal or beef, as well as salmon pie, and quiches that can be baked with a variety of meats and vegetables. You can even have turkey pot pie if you’re not ready to give up that traditional turkey flavor but Recipe: Pork pie Courtesy of Chuck and Diane Souther of Apple Hill Farm in Concord 1¼ pound ground pork 1 cup water ½ teaspoon ground sage ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon clove 1 tablespoon onion powder Pie crust for 8-inch pie

want to try something a little bit different.

Most pork pies are baked with ground pork and some kind of mashed or sweet potato, with other vegetables mixed in like celery and onions, according to Jerry Lipet of Angela’s Pasta & Cheese Shop in Manchester, which sells pork pies for Thanksgiving.

“It’s a popular item, especially for some people who don’t like turkey,” he said.

The Crust & Crumb Baking Co. also offers pork pies, as well as cottage pies, which are similar to shepherd’s pie. “[Pork pie] is a French Canadian dish, and here in New Hampshire we have a high French Canadian population,” Ladman said. “So we make our own version of a pork pie.”

Crosby Bakery in Nashua offers a salmon pie, which is made with red salmon, mashed potatoes, peas, onion and spices, and a meat pie made with hamburger and pork.

Quiches, which have a base of eggs, milk and cream, can be baked with a variety of different meats and vegetables, according to Patti Klemm of Klemm’s Bakery in 14 Simmer the pork in one cup of water in a medium-sized sauce pan. Stir while cooking to break up the clumps. Cook slowly for about half an hour until the meat settles to the bottom. There should be a small amount of liquid remaining on the top.

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Add the spices and stir in enough potato flakes to thicken the mixture (do not drain off any fats or liquid). Pour into the pie shell and cover with the top crust. Poke holes in the top pie crust to vent the steam and bake until the crust is lightly brown.

“What you could do is take whatever vegetables or seasonings you like and boil those too,” he said, “and then take the fat off the turkey and strain everything.”

14 a little bit different and extravagant enough. It’s indulgent and it’s rich.”

Even if you’re sticking with something familiar like apple pie, local bakers and instructors say you can take steps to make yours even better, like carefully choosing which kinds of apples to bake your pie with, Barbour said.

“People will often use only one type of apple, but mixing different apples makes a huge difference [for pie-making],” she said. “Using tart apples is almost like using apple sauce or pieces of apples in the pie.

well combined. Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom and about ½ inch up the sides of the pan. Tightly wrap the bottom and sides of the pan into two large sheets of heavyduty aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool the pan on a rack. Do not remove the foil. Meanwhile, put the cream cheese, sugar and spices in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until smooth. Add the pumpkin, cream and cognac and beat until well combined.

Pour the pumpkin mixture into the springform pan and carefully place it in a large roasting pan. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake at 350 degrees until the cheesecake is golden, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Carefully lift the cheesecake from the roasting pan and remove the foil. Cool the cheesecake in the springform pan to room temperature on a rack. Still in a springform pan, cover and refrigerate overnight. Using a thin knife, carefully cut around the sides of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. Release the springform sides, cut the cheesecake into thin wedges and serve with a small dollop of whipped cream.

… A tart apple like a Granny Smith with other apples like a Honeycrisp or a yellow Delicious … tends to break down a little bit more and makes for a great texture.”

She added that not peeling your apples before throwing them into the pie helps to keep the flavor intact as well.

Mike Cummings of Crosby Bakery in Nashua said chocolate cream pies are also hot sellers around the holidays for people with more of a sweet craving.

Put the apples, brown sugar, orange zest and juice, Calvados, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a bowl and toss to combine. Reserve. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush a 10- to 12-inch quiche pan or pie plate with butter. Unwrap the phyllo, stack and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Remove the first phyllo sheet and replace the damp towel.

Rustic Apple Croustade from Susan Nye.

Place the first sheet so it is about two-thirds in and one-third overlapping the pan. Brush lightly with butter. Continue to line the pan with half of the phyllo, lightly brushing the sheets with butter. Mound the apples in the pan. Dot the apples with the cold butter.

Stack the remaining phyllo leaves on top of the apples, lightly brushing each with butter. Gently turn the edges of the phyllo up and pinch lightly to seal. Cut a few vents in the phyllo to let the steam escape. Bake at 400 degrees until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is tender, about 40 minutes. If the phyllo gets too brown, cover it loosely with foil. Let cool for 10 minutes and serve.

If making ahead, reheat for 10 to 15 minutes in a warm oven before serving.

16 shell and top it with whipped cream,” he said. “It’s right up there with pumpkin and apple as far as how much we sell.”

Karen Car of Just Like Mom’s Pastries in Weare said popular pies for someone looking for something different include a maple bourbon walnut pie and a key lime pie.

If you’re looking for the best drink pairings, Ladman said a mulled cider or a spiced dessert wine is often a nice option to sip alongside dessert pie.

“I mean, milk is a natural pairing, but after a heavy Thanksgiving dinner, you might not want the added bulk of milk,” she said. “It depends on what flavor of pie as far as what you’re going to go with, but something like cider or mead or bourbon is lovely.”

As for toppings like ice cream or whipped cream, Car said one of the best things you can do is heat up your pie a little bit in the microwave before eating it.

“It makes a world of a difference because the ice cream melts on the pie crust faster,” she said.

If at the end of your Thanksgiving feast you find yourself with leftover turkey,

stuffing, mashed potatoes or squash, even those can often make good ingredients for a homemade turkey pot pie.

“You can use the stuffing for the crust at the bottom … and layer it with whatever you’ve got for meat and veggies at the top,” Car said. “It’s actually a great meal you can freeze and eat later, like in the middle of December when you’re running around doing Christmas shopping and don’t have time to make dinner.”

Other options can include more of a turkey shepherd’s pie, a recipe Barbour makes with leftover sweet or mashed potatoes and rutabagas.

“Rutabagas are great because they cook like mashed potatoes,” she said. “You just pop them into the oven and make them brown and you’re done.”

Maxwell said he finds the best turkey pot pies to be layered with turkey on the bottom followed by whatever root vegetables you have left over.

“You can really add just about anything you have or want,” he said. “You don’t need a crust to make a good shepherd’s pie, but if you happen to have it you can bake it in a cast iron pan and throw it in the oven.”

Stir in the tomato paste and stock. Reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes. In another pot, cover the rutabagas with water and one teaspoon of salt and broil until they are tender, about 30 minutes.

Drain well and put them back into the pot.

Mash until they are smooth. Add the butter and 2/3 cup of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the meat mixture into a deep-dish pie pan or a large baking dish.

chester arts organizations and schools to help connect people within the creative sphere. The goal, Berube said, is to encourage collaborations like a local musician partnering with a local filmmaker to produce a film score — and to showcase work by like-minded artists side by side.

“We want people to engage and interact,” Berube said. “We’re trying to bring people together who complement each other and trying to give them a chance to relate to each other so that we can build on our city’s talent.”

One of the venue’s first art exhibitions is “Aliens Invade Jupiter Hall,” which opens Friday, Nov. 17. It features digital artwork depicting a variety of alien creatures by Massachusetts artist and New Hampshire Institute of Art alumnus Ella Putney Carlson.

The images in the exhibition were created using dissected and reconstructed photographs taken by Carlson and altered with freehand digital painting done on a

tablet or computer. The photographs from which the alien images are derived consist of ordinary objects in Carlson’s home, such as a glass of iced tea, flowers and wine glasses.

The Aliens series was born out of a photography series centered on tea and tea cups after Carlson saw an alien-like quality in one of the photographs.

“I start with an image that has an intriguing texture or color combinations or shapes, then I start expanding it, multiplying it, taking it apart and putting it back together, like digital surgery,” Carlson said. “It’s an evolution. Rather than creating what I pre-envision, they create themselves, and I observe.”

Carlson said the objects photographed for the images are indistinguishable to the viewer unless she reveals to them what the objects are. In the exhibition, each piece will have its origin object written on the title card, and some pieces will have the unaltered starting photograph alongside them.

Artists, digital media creatives and storytellers have a new space to create and show their work.

In September, Manchester Arts Commission Chairman Daniel Berube and his wife Katie opened Jupiter Hall, a 1,900-squarefoot multipurpose arts venue on Hanover Street in Manchester.

“We found that, in New Hampshire, there was a lack of a dedicated venue for people to experience arts and culture and innovation,” Berube said. “Jupiter Hall is the answer to that problem.”

Like the red spot on the planet Jupiter, Berube said, he wants Jupiter Hall to be “the red spot” of arts and culture in the Manchester community.

The venue is under ongoing development, but the plan as of now is to feature visual art exhibitions by local artists; host community events including film screenings, live music, spoken word and other performances; and provide resources and space for creating films, podcasts, digital art and other digital media.

Jupiter Hall also provides networking opportunities and partners with other Man-

“This isn’t about my work as a photographer; there’s nothing in [the images] that is photographic,” Carlson said. “They become something completely different, but most of the time, if I tell people what [object] the image came from, they say, ‘Oh, there it is.’”

The series features aliens of all shapes and sizes, colors and textures. Each has a “highly developed backstory and personality,” Carlson said, from the cute and comical to the mystical and bizarre.

She hopes the nonthreatening nature of the aliens will encourage people to view the concept of aliens in a new light.

“We’re so alien-phobic, always talking about them trying to get in and trying to take over,” she said, “but here [in the exhibition] they aren’t threatening. They’re made from common things and based on things that are familiar, so it makes you examine the idea of what an alien really is.”

Jupiter Hall will host an opening reception for the exhibition on Friday, Nov. 17, at which Carlson will be present to answer questions and discuss her work, and people will be able to purchase the art.

“It’s really nice that they’ve opened up this new venue for artists to show their work,” Carlson said. “It’s a great space and a great location, so it’s really a privilege to show my art there.”

The Community Players of Concord will give The Hunchback of Notre Dame its New Hampshire debut at the Concord City Auditorium Nov. 17 through Nov. 19.

The musical combines the story from Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel of the same name with music from the 1996 Disney film. It premiered in California in 2014 and was made available to regional theaters in 2016.

Director Bryan Halperin saw one of the first regional productions in Maine last year and knew it was something he wanted to bring to the New Hampshire stage.

One of the most appealing things about the musical, he said, is its unique format in which the actors play people who are telling the story rather than the characters in the story themselves.

“It gives the director a lot of freedom to use their own originality and come up with a unique way of telling the story,” he said.

The musical’s use of a choir and the themes explored in The Hunchback story inspired Halperin to set the Players’ version in a 19th-century church, where the story of the Hunchback is told as a parable in the preacher’s sermon, and the church congregation and choir help bring the story to life. Actors will be dressed in simple religious robes that can be quickly removed to reveal costumes appropriate for the character whose story they are telling.

“It has this recurring theme of, ‘What makes a monster or a man?’ and ‘Don’t be deceived by appearances,’ which seemed to me like a good parable that a minister might deliver,” he said. “Other versions just have storytellers telling the story, but I wanted to give it this framework where the choir on stage and the story being told made sense.”

The cast consists of 51 people — 24 in the choir and 27 as storytellers. Auditions were held in June and regular rehearsals started in August. For Halperin and many of the cast and crew members, Halperin said, The Hunchback is the largest production they’ve ever been a part of.

“It’s not an easy show to do. Every fac-

et of it is huge,” he said. “That’s why we got started on it so early. Everything took a lot of thought and preparation, even before rehearsals started.”

One of the biggest challenges is the score, which includes songs in Latin and songs with up to eight harmony parts. The songs will be accompanied by a 10-piece live orchestra, which Halperin said is highly ambitious for community theater; most community theater productions use a musical recording or an orchestra of four or five people at the most, but the large choir and the intensity of The Hunchback’s score led Halperin and musical director Troy Lucia to think bigger.

“It has a huge amount of voices and a very epic and classical score that you don’t hear in many Broadway shows,” Lucia said.

“It’s probably one of the toughest shows to do from a musical standpoint.”

About half of the songs can be heard in the Disney film, and the other half are exclusive to the stage musical. Another reason Halperin and Lucia are devoting so much energy to the music, Lucia said, is that the music is an integral part of the storytelling and propelling the plot, even more so than the spoken dialogue.

“This is not your Sound of Music-type musical where the song comes in and it’s nice, then it goes back to the story,” he said.

“It’s more operatic in that the music really tells the story.”

The most rewarding thing about taking on The Hunchback, Halperin said, is being the first to produce it in New Hampshire.

“It’s always exciting to present something new that the audience won’t have preconceived notions about as far as how it should be done,” he said. “If you do a good job with it, the audience will walk away thinking that that is the way the show should be.”

The title of the series is taken from the concluding section of the concert’s centerpiece, “The Wound in the Water,” a contemporary work for chorus and chamber orchestra by Norwegian composer Kim Andre Arnesen and Welsh librettist Euan Tait. The piece laments the current state of the environment and humanity and reflects on the redemptive power of music. “The text, in particular, resonated with the general angst I was (and am) feeling about the disastrous human (social/political) and physical (pollution, global warming) condition in which we find our world,” Master Chorale Music Director Dan Perkins said in a press release.

“Since choosing “The Wound in the Water” last spring, it seems to have become even more relevant, considering myriad recent environmental and social disasters.” Tickets are available at the door and cost $30 for adults, $25 for seniors and free for students.

Trees get all dolled up for annual Fez-tival

By Ethan Hogan

ehogan@hippopress.com

Christmas trees are canvases for creation at Concord’s Fez-tival of Trees, which returns to the Bektash Shriners Center for the 17th year starting Saturday, Nov. 18.

It continues every day, except Thanksgiving, through Sunday, Nov. 26.

More than 100 trees decorated by local organizations, businesses and individuals in the community will be on display for guests to see and bid on. Richard Dooley, potentate of the Bektash Shriners, started the tradition 17 years ago with his wife after seeing the same type of event at a Shriners Center in Methuen, Mass.

“We thought it was a great idea [and] decided to co-op that idea and bring it to Concord,” said Dooley.

Dooley remembers a tree designed and donated by a local BJ’s store made out of hardware tools.

“In 17 years that have gone by Fez-tival of Trees it is just unbelievable some of the ideas people come up with to decWhere: Bektash Shriners Center, orate a tree. … It’s amazing,” said 189 Pembroke Road, Concord Dooley.

grills and TVs. Wives of the Shriners Center members make lunch every day, including an apple crisp that Dooley said is a favorite.

Santa will stop by the Fez-tival every day to meet with kids and help celebrate, and there will be children’s games as well. Dooley said the Fez-tival kicks off on the same day as the Concord Christmas Parade, so once the parade ends, people head to the Bektash Shriners Center.

“We have had many people tell us that they come back every year because it gets their family in the Christmas spirit,” said Dooley.

Now is a good time to divide and transplant some of your perennials. I recently dug up and moved Shasta daisies, Siberian iris and snakeroot. Most perennials can be divided in either spring or fall, and experience is the best way to know what season is best for any given plant. Most plants are not too fussy.

Shasta daisies tend to die out if they are not divided every three to five years. And you probably have seen iris with a big dead section in the middle of a clump. It’s my belief that the center dies out because the plants have used up all the needed minerals in the soil. This starts in the middle where the original plant began its life.

Why bother digging up and dividing flowers? Some develop into huge clumps that overwhelm a garden bed, or elbow out nice plants next to them. This is particularly true for plants that spread by root like beebalm, common orange daylilies and obedient plant.

Those plants can be quite aggressive.

Other plants, heavy-feeders, need to be divided in order to enrich their soil. Once a year I generally sprinkle some slow-release organic fertilizer like Pro-Gro or Garden Tone over Siberian iris to help replenish minerals that get used up. This minimizes the need to divide and re-plant. But digging up and adding compost and fertilizer will help considerably to re-energize a plant.

Here is what I do: I use a garden fork or drain spade (an extra-long spade) to loosen up the roots of a plant by sliding it in under the plant at a 45-degree angle and prying upward.

Some plants, daylilies and Siberian iris for example, hold on tightly. Others, like Shasta daisies and bearded iris, have roots near the soil surface and come up easily. You may have to go all around the perimeter with your fork, or just on two sides.

I lift the plant out of the ground and place it in a wheelbarrow or on a tarp to minimize soil loss and messiness. Then I use my hands, a shovel or a sharp serrated knife to divide the plant. I like to just split it into several smaller chunks with my hands if possible. But a big chunk of Siberian iris will not pull apart, so cutting through the roots is necessary. I know that seems brutal, but the plant will survive nicely.

If you have invasive weeds or perennials growing near the plant you are dividing, you should be very attentive to the roots. Know the color and texture of goutweed roots, for example. If you see even a smidgen of goutweed root in with the plant you are dividing, stop! You don’t want to move it to a new area of your garden.

If you are receiving plants from friends, always ask if they have invasives. I got gout-

Bare-rooted plant.

weed from a dear friend who kindly gave me some iris — with goutweed roots mixed in.

Twenty years later I am still fighting a losing battle with that goutweed.

If you think there might be roots of an invasive plant, either throw it out or bare-root it.

Bare-rooting a plant means removing all the soil from the root mass. I do this with a sharp stream of water from my hose. It’s a messy procedure, but getting rid of the soil will allow you to see what roots are part of the plant you want, and what else may be mixed in. Most invasives have distinctive roots.

When you bare-root a plant it is important, when re-planting it, to make sure you get soil to cover all the roots. I will make a hill of soil in the planting hole and drape the roots over it. With my fingers I press soil around the roots, and cover them well. Then I water to get soil to fill in air pockets. Even though air is needed by roots, air pockets will dry out roots, damaging them.

After your plants are lovingly tucked in for the winter, spread some mulch over them.

This will slow the soil from freezing, and give the plant more time to establish its roots. I like chopped leaves or pine needles, but chopped bark mulch is fine, too.

When you are cleaning up your flower beds this fall, think about cutting back annual flowers instead of pulling them. If you pull a big sunflower or zinnia, you are leaving an open space that will practically invite weed seeds to infiltrate your garden. If you leave the roots and a little stem, those may decompose over the fall and spring and add organic matter to your soil. And if your flower bed is on a slope, even a gentle one, a bare spot of soil will allow heavy rains to wash off some of your precious topsoil. You can pull those roots when you are ready to plant next spring.

This is also a good time to dig up and get rid of plants that you don’t like, are too aggressive, or are just not thriving. You don’t have to keep every plant. If you don’t like it, get rid of it!

Cold weather is on the way, so if you need to divide plants, you’d better get going!

OK, I’m not sure your bank doesn’t scare me or make me laugh. I think it would have drawn my attention as well.

It is tough to find out about chalkware (plaster of Paris) unless it is signed by a specific maker or company. Most was just an inexpensive way to recreate items. They were often prize giveaways at carnivals and also sold by home to home salesmen. Even determining the age can be difficult if it’s in good shape. But it all started in the 20th century.

So to determine a value for you I would look at a few things: subject, usefulness, size and condition. With that said yours is kind of unique with an appeal to some but not others. Being a bank is a plus, as is the fact that it’s large. But the face is either OK to some or scary. So to me it would be in the $40 range. I hope you paid less and found yourself a tiny (big) treasure.

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Value of this inheritance is rather dubious Dear Car Talk: I am now the owner of a 1978 Cadillac Seville Grand Opera Coupe. This was my grandmother’s car and one of a few hundred made

By Ray Magliozzi of this model. It is not running, but I believe that is due to it sitting. It is all original and has very few miles. What is the history of this model, and is it considered “desirable” or sought-after?

Thank you! — Whitney I don’t think anyone would ever describe this car as “desirable,” Whitney. Your grandmother either had very unusual taste (you might want to look for a picture of your grandfather), or she had a great sense of humor. Or both. Because this is one of the weirdest, ugliest vehicles known to man.

For our other four readers, if you’ve never seen one, you owe it to yourself to Google “Cadillac Seville Grand Opera Coupe,” and then come back and finish reading today’s column when you’ve stopped laughing.

This was not a car made at the factory by Cadillac, which reduces its value to some extent but also gives Cadillac plausible deniability for its existence.

The Grandeur Motor Car Company of — wait for it — Pompano Beach, Florida, made a bunch of these by taking a Cadillac Seville (which was based on a Chevy Nova), removing the front seats, extending the hood and windshield backward and having the driver pilot the car from where the back seat used to be.

But the piece de resistance — the touch that puts the Grand Opera Coupe in league with sky-blue polyester leisure suits and gold toilets — are the fake, wire-wheeled spare-tire covers that are built in, on each side, between where the driver sits and the front wheels.

Now, is there a market for these things, Whitney? Of course!

I contacted our friend Craig Fitzgerald, who writes for bestride.com. He’s our go-to guy for all things automotive and ridiculous. Craig says that since they are “conversions” and not original Cadillacs, even Grand Opera Coupes in great condition have never pulled in more than about $15,000.

He says that a Barrett-Jackson auc-

tion in Las Vegas got $16,000 for one in mint condition a couple of years ago, but I think they had to throw in a couple of Volkswagens with it.

Anyway, that’s something, Whitney, right? If you can get $15,000 or $16,000 for this thing, you can get yourself something you might be willing to be seen in, like a 2015 Camry. Good luck.

Dear Car Talk: I have a 1996 Honda Accord with 161,000 miles. I am the second owner, but I’ve had it since ‘97, and it is the most mechanically reliable car I have ever owned. In the past few months, it has developed an intermittent issue.

Sometimes — not always, but more than half the time — when I start on a drive, the air bag warning light comes on. If the trip is short, the light (if it came on) will stay on the entire time. But if the trip is longer, after 30 minutes or so the light goes off. If the light never came on, or if it goes out during a trip, once it is out, it doesn’t come back on during that trip.

Is this something I should worry about?

— Albert Not unless you think you might need the air bag someday, Albert.

Air bags have a “self-diagnostic” system that takes a few seconds to run every time you start your car. So each time you start up your Accord, the computer checks to make sure all the components necessary to deploy your air bags are present, accounted for and working.

While the car is testing the air bag circuits, you’ll see the air bag (or SRS) light on your dashboard. Once the system has checked out and is ready to go, the light will go off. So if the light is on, at least one of your air bags won’t function if you need it.

On a 20-year-old car, it could be almost any part of the system. It could be a faulty sensor, a bad air bag module, a bad clock spring or a problem with a wiring harness somewhere. And you’re going to need a mechanic to scan the car for you and track it down.

In the meantime, keep your Bronko Nagurski football helmet on the passenger seat. And if the air bag light doesn’t go off after a few seconds, fasten that chin strap.

And needless to say, you’ll want to get it fixed as soon as you can, Albert.

Art and history hikes

Hands-on learning at Quarrybrook community event

By Ethan Hogan

ehogan@hippopress.com

Quarrybrook Experiential Education Center is hosting a free community hiking event on Saturday, Nov. 18, at its 245-acre outdoor learning center, where you can choose between four hikes that explore art, history and nature.

The two all-ages hikes will teach guests about the history of the property’s granite quarry or about natural sculpture art. There’s a separate hike for kids under 5 and one is just for adults, with the distances and information tailored to the age groups. All of the hikes leave at 10 a.m.

Participants who go on the art hike will learn about environmental artist Andy Goldsworthy, a British sculptor who uses only materials he finds outside to build his sculptures and will photograph his work to preserve it since much of it can only stay intact for a few minutes, hours or days, according to Quarrybrook educator Katherine Doyle.

Doyle said the art hike will have participants creating their own natural sculptures after getting inspiration from Goldsworthy’s art. The group will hike to a site to build their own pieces of environmental art using natural materials found in the forest.

“It’s about creating your own environmental sculpture while you’re out on the trail. It’s a great opportunity to create art in the natural environment,” said the center’s executive director, Marcy Yeager.

On the history hike, guests will learn about the history of the original, on-site granite quarry that once supplied the area with the state’s official rock. The granite was used for industrial structures like the 1848 stone arch bridge that is also part of the Quarrybrook property, and will be an educational stop on Saturday’s hike, according to Yeager.

The history tour will be explorative and informative. Yeager said learning through hands-on activities in nature can help most learners stay engaged.

“The broad majority of learners respond well to actively doing what they’re learning,” said Yeager.

There will be a free-form hike for adults where participants can explore the trails themselves and experience the area on their own. Yeager said the unstructured hike will be educational because hikers see a variety of micro-ecosystems, even on a short journey.

“One of the things that I love about Quarrybrook is that you are going to go through multiple micro-ecosystems during a hike,” said Yeager.

Beaver dams, marshes, blueberry trails and multiple vernal pools in the quarries can be seen within a short distance of each other.

Courtesy photo.

Yeager said this large variance in micro-ecosystems is caused in part by the dynamic landscapes created by glacial activity thousands of years ago.

“You will see in a very short distance how topography affects an ecosystem,” she said.

Having taught all over the world, Yeager has come to appreciate New England’s natural quirks. She said the distinct characteristic that stands out to her is the soil in New England, which she said is better than in most other areas.

“We have perfect soil, meaning it’s got all of the right pieces … so we have really amazing plants. We couldn’t have it anywhere else; we have the perfect recipe for our ecosystem,” said Yeager.

The themed hikes were created by the educators at the center and represent the style of learning that the organization practices.

“This is their opportunity to share some of their favorite pieces of curriculum at Quarrybrook, ” said Yeager.

There is a hike for kids 5 years old and younger for families that want to get outdoors but won’t be able to stay focused on one longer lesson.

Quarrybrook typically focuses on teaching kindergarten through sixth-grade students classroom lessons using hands-on, inquirybased learning experiences in nature, Yeager said. Events like these allow that kind of teaching to extend to a larger community.

“We choose to do the bulk of our lessons outside because we are lucky to have these beautiful 245 acres. We believe that the simple act of learning about nature fosters better global citizens because you have first hand contact with the basics of how the world works,” said Yeager.

Explain your current job.

I work for the Healthcare for the Homeless program and we’re integrated, meaning that we provide primary care with the doctors and nurses and stuff, but also provide mental or behavioral health components to it. So I do some therapeutic work, a lot of case management — like the practical stuff with helping people stay applied for Medicaid benefits and things like that — I do some drug and alcohol work, but a big part my job is also doing outreach in the community, looking to find people to offer them services. So I go out a few times a week to try to connect with potential clients or actual patients, whether that be out on the

streets, at different agencies or down by the riverbanks and campsites.

How long have you done this?

FOOD Back on the market This year’s winter farmers markets

By Matt Ingersoll

News from the local food scene

mingersoll@hippopress.com

By Matt Ingersoll

Take advantage of locally grown and raised meats, poultry, fruits, veggies and more this winter season at farmers markets across southern New Hampshire.

Charlie Cole is owner of Cole Gardens in Concord, which hosts an indoor winter farmers market every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. from November to April 21 (except for Dec. 30). He said you’ll still find fresh produce at winter markets but not the exact same line up you’d see at a market in summer.

“One popular item is mixed greens, and then winter squashes, Brussels sprouts and other cold crop veggies. … You usually won’t see cucumbers or tomatoes,” Cole said.

Winter farmers markets are also popular for comfort foods like homemade pasta, dessert pies, brownies, cookies and more, as well as meats like locally raised beef, chicken and pork, he said.

Many of the markets feature live music as well as children’s and family activities in addition to the offerings of local vendors.

• Fire closes Republic: An accidental fire at Republic in Manchester in the early morning hours of Sunday, Nov. 12, forced its temporary closure, according to WMUR. Manchester firefighters responded after a passerby called 911 reporting that flames had broken out near the back of the inside of the restaurant just after midnight. While the fire was under control less than 20 minutes after firefighters were dispatched, the damage is estimated to be around $25,000. The fire also forced The Gyro Spot, just next door, to evacuate due to rising smoke levels. In a statement posted on its Facebook page later that afternoon, Republic said the fire started in the kitchen and invited patrons to visit its sister restaurant Camp Enoteca in the meantime as it works to clean up. “We will keep you posted and we will reopen our doors as soon as we can, thank you for your concern and continued support!” the post read.

• New brew pub: The Kettlehead Brewing Co. (407 W. Main St., Tilton, kettleheadbrewing.com, info@kettleheadbrewing. com) opened its doors on Nov. 1 as a licensed brew pub. Co-founder Nate Wolfenden said there are 10 craft beers currently on tap; the flagship is called The Agent, a hazy and tropical tasting IPA. There’s also The Quest double IPA and the El Dorado Falcon American pale ale. While Wolfenden said these three beers will likely be available on tap year-round, other more seasonal brews are expected to be switched out. Kettlehead Brewing Co. also offers a small selection of foods, like a house burger with applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and a fried egg on top, and the Korean fried chicken sandwich, in addition to various seasonal soups, salads, appetizers and sandwiches. Wolfenden said they hope to source from as many local farms in the surrounding area of Tilton as possible. Kettlehead Brewing Co. is open Wednesday and Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday until 9 p.m., and Sunday until 5 p.m.

• Sandwich Depot to close: The Sandwich Depot (49 Hall St., Concord, 228-3393, thesandwichdepot.com) will soon close its doors after 28 years in business, 42 Correction In the story “Thanksgiving to go” on p. 34 of the Nov. 9 issue, the listing for Angela’s Pasta & Cheese Shop in Manchester should have said that Angela’s offers a take-out menu of sides like bread stuffing, whipped maple sweet potatoes and butternut squash, as well as dinner rolls, pies and cakes.

Tastings and telephones Museum hosts Brews for Bell fundraiser

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

After a successful debut last year, the Brews for Bell fundraiser — an evening of pairing local craft beers with foods that complement them — returns for a second year on Friday, Nov. 17.

The event is hosted by the New Hampshire Telephone Museum.

“People really responded to this [last year], which was why we decided to do it again, and it’s probably going to be an annual thing,” said museum program coordinator Graham Gifford. “It brought in people who were big into beer but maybe had never seen our museum before and they’d go, ‘Wow, this is way cooler than I thought.’”

Gifford said as with last year’s event, the idea was to feature a line of beers from five different Granite State breweries that range from light to dark. This year’s participating breweries include Litherman’s Limited in Concord, Concord Craft Brewing, Swift Current Brewing Co. in Manchester, Great North Aleworks in Manchester and From the Barrel in Londonderry.

“We’re aiming to have everything from a pale ale to some sort of IPA to some sort of stout,” Gifford said.

The food is provided by Bill Meadows, owner of The Local restaurant in Warner.

Options are likely going to include various kinds of cheeses and chocolates, according to Gifford.

“It will be a variety of sweet and savory things,” she said. “Last year we had everything from meatballs to small dark chocolate desserts that were paired with the stout that we had.”

Guests will receive their own “Brews for Bell” pint glass as well as five “taste tickets” good for one tasting of each beer available. Additional tickets can be purchased for more tastings at $1 each,

according to Gifford.

Milford-based singer-songwriter Justin Cohn, who performed at last year’s Brews for Bell event, is returning to provide a musical backdrop during the tastings.

A raffle basket to which several local businesses have contributed is also going to be available to all visitors. Prizes include two free passes to the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner, a gift certificate to MainStreet BookEnds, two free drink tickets to Schoodacs Coffee & Tea, two tickets to a performance of The Nutcracker at the Kearsarge Conservatory of the Performing Arts and more.

Try beer, moose and deer meat straight from the Granite State’s woods at A Taste of Native American Cuisine, an annual event returning to Gilford Community Church on Saturday, Nov. 18, 5 to 7 p.m. The event, which is open to the public, also includes traditional side dishes and desserts.

“It’s basically a sampling dinner and we’ll be serving everything buffet style,” said Mark Richardson, chair of the Board of Directors for the New Hampshire Intertribal Native American Council, which puts on the event as a fundraiser. “The thought was that someone can come in and go down the line and get a lot of different things to try.”

Council Vice Chief Angie Moore said most of the featured meat is relied upon by hunters, who this year will be providing bear, moose, elk, buffalo and venison, or deer meat. Fish like salmon and stuffed trout with rice will also be available.

“We’ll take an elk roast and a buffa-

lo roast and we’ll cook them and segment them into small cubes to serve as samples,” Richardson said.

Along with all the meat offerings, there will be plenty of sides and desserts as well.

Moore said visitors can also try a dish called Three Sisters, which is made up of corn, beans and squash, as well as wild rice and a corn casserole. Corn bread and fry bread will be served with wojapi, a traditional Native American thick berry sauce.

“I guess I would equate [wojapi] to a kind of strawberry or blueberry jelly,” Richardson said. “You’d typically put that on an Indian fry bread.”

Desserts will include an Indian bread pudding, pies such as pine nut, and cookies.

Cider and peppermint tea will be served as well. Richardson said a children’s menu is also expected to be available.

Just before and during the dinner, Native American flute players and drummers will be performing as ambiance. Moore said council member Kim White Feather will have a display of Native American artifacts set up.

Following the dinner will be a silent auction and a regular auction made up of Native American items. “[What we get] all depends on what is donated to us at the council,” Moore said.

“We’ve had artwork, dreamcatchers, regalia, beadworks and other stuff.”

Proceeds from the dinner benefit the council’s scholarship fund. Richardson said a similar event called the Spring Fling is in the planning stages for next year.

Ryan Morse of Merrimack is a baker for Crosby Bakery (51 E. Pearl St., Nashua, 882-1851, crosbybakerynh.com) and part of the latest generation of a long family history of ownership dating back to 1947. Morse said he has been working at the bakery since he was about 10, and last year decided he was going to commit to owning it full time once his aunt and uncle, Gale and Mike Cummings, retired.

Ideas from off the shelf

Tortellini, spinach and mushroom soup During the fall and winter, I aim to make as much comfort food as possible in as little time and with as little effort as possible. Inevitably, the slow cooker becomes my best friend. From soups and sauces to pastas and pork roasts, the slow cooker makes my hectic schedule a bit more manageable. And this recipe was no exception.

This tortellini, spinach and mushroom soup may be one of the easiest things I’ve ever made. And while I didn’t follow the instructions exactly, I was still pleased with the final results. The soup was a warm, comforting bowl of veggies and spices, and cheese — I couldn’t forget the cheese.

While the directions called for the spinach, mushrooms, onions and garlic to be sautéed before being added to the slow cooker with the other ingredients, I decided I wasn’t going to dirty a pan if I was making a slow cooker recipe.

Instead, I tossed everything into the slow cooker, turned on the power and walked away. Three hours later I had a hearty and delicious soup.

The mushrooms and spinach added an earthy bitterness to the soup, while the Italian seasoning added underlying notes of flavors like basil and oregano. The garlic (when added by my heavy hand) was a prominent flavor, tempered only slight-

ly by the white pepper. The cheese added some depth and saltiness, plus I sprinkled some mozzarella cheese over the soup before serving for some added texture.

Additionally, since I opted not to sauté the mushrooms before tossing them in the slow cooker, they had a nice bite to them, which helped add some texture to the soup. This soup would be great served with some crusty bread, or better yet in a bread bowl to help sop up the goodness from the broth. My husband’s one complaint about the recipe was that there was no meat, but he went back for a second bowl, so he couldn’t have been that disappointed.

Overall, I was happy with this recipe. It was incredibly quick and easy to make, pantry-friendly and perfect for a chilly night. If I make this again, I think I’d wait until the last 30 minutes to throw in the tortellini, as suggested in a note of the original recipe, so there was more texture. But otherwise, this dish was delicious, especially considering the minimal time and effort it took to make.

Tortellini, Spinach and Mushroom Soup Recipe courtesy of 3 Yummy Tummies

3 cups sliced mushrooms (I used white button) ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

16 ounces baby spinach ⅔ cup finely chopped yellow onion 3 garlic cloves, minced 3 tablespoons butter ½ teaspoon black pepper ¼ teaspoon salt 5 cups of vegetable or chicken broth 1½ cups half and half ½ teaspoon white pepper ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning ¼ teaspoon thyme 2 teaspoons garlic powder 16-ounce bag of frozen cheese tortellini

There are two options for this recipe: You can combine everything in a slow cooker, turn it on and walk away for three hours. Or, you can begin by melting the butter in a large skillet, adding the onion, minced garlic and mushrooms. Sauté that mixture for a few minutes before adding the spinach, salt and pepper and sautéing until wilted. Add that mixture to the slow cooker, followed by the remaining ingredients. Cook on high for approximately three hours. Alternatively (for either option), you can add the tortellini during the last 30 minutes for a firmer noodle.

How to pair beer with a Thanksgiving feast

By Jeff Mucciarone

Let us help make your holiday gatherings extra special. Check the catering section on our website.

food@hippopress.com

When it comes to beer, Thanksgiving can be a challenging day. There is so much delicious goodness and so many incredible, wide-ranging flavors. But therein lies the problem: How do you pair a beer with turkey, gravy, buttery mashed potatoes, sweet and savory squash and tart cranberry sauce?

The explosive hops of a double IPA can certainly stand up to the flavors on the table, but it also might take over the palate. A rich, malty porter or stout might be a better accompaniment in terms of flavor, but that’s probably too heavy to pair with this meal.

Complicating matters is that well-meaning people, at least in my family, often bring an outstanding variety of beer to the Thanksgiving feast and I want all of it. But again, I don’t want hops to take over and I want to make sure I have room for pie. Even appropriate seasonal beers, like Oktoberfest-style beers or nut brown ales, can be a little heavy for this meal.

I know, life is hard.

I have a few strategies to consider.

Take a peek in the pilsner section

Many brewers think the humble pilsner is making a comeback. And with good reason. Pilsners are eminently drinkable, they’re refreshing and they have the distinct characteristic of tasting exactly like beer. They don’t take over the palate, as they are perfectly comfortable sitting in the background while you enjoy another serving of stuffing.

Because they are lighter, they don’t fill you up as much. Still, a really good one, like the Czech Pilsner by Moat Mountain Smokehouse and Brewing Co., is perfectly pleasing.

The Czech Pilsner by Moat Mountain Smokehouse and Brewery is an excellent choice of beer to pair with the Thanksgiving meal. Courtesy photo.

ter or stout, such as “The Roast” by Henniker Brewing Co., would be perfect with pie.

What’s nice about a hefty stout or porter is that you can take your time drinking it. If it warms up, even to room temperature, it won’t sacrifice flavor. You’re not drinking a porter to quench your thirst.

I’m not asking you to be obsessive about what beer to drink, but a little forethought might help you enjoy the day, before, during and after the big meal.

Split a beer

Whether it’s Thanksgiving or not, sharing beers lets you try more beer. So if you want a big, heavy porter but you’re worried about getting too full, see if you have a willing partner to split one with. That way you get to enjoy the rich flavors of heavier, maltforward beers, but without having to finish a whole pint. Same goes for a big IPA.

Pace yourself

This is really the biggest thing. Thanksgiving is a long day of eating and drinking.

There’s no need to rush. You can easily enjoy a few beers over the course of the day. You’ll Time your beers During my family’s Thanksgiving, people enjoy them more if you enjoy them slowly. usually gather between noon and 1 p.m. and Jeff Mucciarone is a senior account execuwe aim to eat around 2.

As I recall, when last we left the former Led Zeppelin singer, I was bitching about something to do with his stealing tunes from 1920s cigar-box bands.

It bugged me (and many other people) that he was still getting away with the same sort of larceny his old band had made into a brand back in the ’70s, thinking they were going to get away with ripping off song after song, from “Stairway to Heaven” on down. I suppose we can just let it go at this point, what with statutes of limitations and all, and lest we forget, Plant’s solo output in the 1980s boasted the best beach vibe in history. That’s what “The May Queen” is, to a limited extent, if a more unplugged, folksy version, a smooth but husky Zeppelin III-ish jangle-fest with a sneaky, irresistible hook. But then it’s on to Phil Spector Wall of Sound vibes in such things as the Cardinals-style altcountry tip “New World” and the mopey “Dance With You Tonight” (which ends with a meta nod to the coda of “Battle of Evermore”). Nothing much to love here, but at least it’s not a microwaving of Al Jolson or something, not that I shouldn’t reserve space for it. If it matters, his backing band The Space Shifters added viola/fiddle player Seth Lakeman for this, as well as guest cellist Redi Hasa for temporary depth. B- — Eric W. Saeger Maroon 5, Red Pill Blues (Interscope Records)

With 15 years in the books and five albums to show for it, this L.A. band is at their Some Girls stage of detachment from the little people, in other words all they need to know is that a cultural epiphany exists and they’ll appropriate it without knowing what it really means, the same way the Stones jumped on the disco bandwagon, a move that would have ended their careers right then and there if they weren’t so widely beloved.

• To music-nerd Gen-X-ers who still haven’t figured out no one cares about the Bangles anymore, Morrissey is the same thing as Elvis, but without the immortality and stuff. Low In High School, his new album, streets on Nov. 17, and it will include the single “Spent the Day in Bed,” a floaty, bouncy old-wave trinket that sounds 30 years old, but when did that ever stop this guy. It’s cool for what it is, let’s leave it at that.

• Awesome, it’s wind-up hip-hop-clown-doll T-Pain, with his new LP, Oblivion, featuring the single “F.B.G.M.” I’ll have to see if … Whoa, you should see the video for this song, where T-Pain shows up and starts singing through his Toys ’R Us autotune microphone. I’ve never seen anything like … OK, never mind, just forget it. Young MA is here, looking on in horror just like the rest of us, as Mr. Pain covers his head with a giant squirrel and gets with the bedroom Auto-tune chill-trap. Is anyone else looking forward to the end of this decade?

• I’m pretty sure Charlotte Gainsbourg is the one who randomly takes her clothes off in movies, because art calls for sacrificing one’s sense of embarrassment or whatever — yup, here it is in the Wikipedia thing, she’s done several disturbing things in the name of art, starting when she was in like the seventh grade. The last thing you probably heard about was her totally artsy scenes in the movie Nymphomaniac, but now she has a new LP, Rest, on track for an Nov. 17 release. Ah, here’s the video for the title track.

Will it be ‘work-safe’? Will my sensibilities be fully awakened by a blast of postmodernist pies-in-the-face? I dunno, it’s hard to weed through all the random clips of pilgrims and sexytimes and Apollo astronauts, and she’s whisper-singing in French, so forget it anyway. No, wait, she just whispered “we’re walking on air,” and there’s a Vine clip of a kid crying in the back of some car. The music itself is as boring as any Postal Service thing, but at least they’re using a Fender Rhodes keyboard — I mean, amateurish whisper-singing in French is bad enough, but a Super Mario Bros. keyboard added to it would have made my ears instantly secede from my head and run off to join the foreign legion.

• Baths is the indie-pop pseudonym of Los Angeles human Will Wiesenfeld, whose Twitter tastes lean toward the Social Justice warrior space, like he actually uses the term “ASMR” without any irony attached. His new record Romaplasm is on the way, and its single, “Yeoman,” is pretty nice, bloop-techno arpeggios bubbling under Wiesenfeld’s Steely Dan-ish vocalisms.

is very different from the world today. She did a lot of research about the Wild West, reading archived newspapers from that time period and even hiking the Arizona landscape herself.

“I wanted to hike the places that [the characters] hiked and experience what they experience so I could really get the sensory details,” she said. “It gave me an appreciation for the people who lived out there at that time.”

Before Vengeance Road and Retribution Rails, Bowman published the Taken trilogy, a series of young adult science fiction dystopian novels. Next summer, she’ll release the first book of her new duology Contagion, which she says is “science fiction-action-thriller-horror.”

“I love to jump between genres,” she said. “I have a lot of fun doing one thing, but then I’ll decide to do something totally different.”

However, the dystopian science fiction genre and Western genre aren’t as different as one might think, Bowman said. Many fans of the Taken trilogy, particularly fans who claimed to have had no prior interest in the Western genre, gave Bowman positive feedback about the Western duo.

“People are surprised that they end up really enjoying it,” she said. “I think that’s because, in many ways, the Wild West is a dystopia. It’s a gritty, lawless setting that’s common in many futuristic dystopian books, so if you’re a fan of those, give the Westerns a try, and you might be surprised.”

D WITH A CRE AT OO F T

FRO

Concord-area author Erin Bowman always wanted to write a Western novel.

Growing up in Connecticut, she became fascinated with the West after taking a cross-country trip with her family. Clint Eastwood films and books like Little House on the Prairie became her favorites. When it came to writing a Western of her own, however, she never had a story idea big enough to fill out a novel.

That changed after Bowman’s husband, who has family in Arizona, told her about the legend of the Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine, a rich mine said to be hidden in the Superstition Mountains in Arizona. To this day, people still search for the mine, and some have even died in the pursuit.

“I had this muse explosion when I heard about it,” Bowman said. “I knew I had to use this legend to inspire my book.”

In 2015, she published her young adult Western novel Vengeance Road. Set in the 19th-century Wild West, the story follows Kate Thompson, a teenager who sets out to avenge her father’s murder and, in the process, uncovers family secrets and winds up on a hunt for a lost gold mine.

On Nov. 7, Bowman released a companion novel set 10 years later, Retribution Rails, which she’ll present at Gibson’s Bookstore in Concord on Sunday, Nov. 19.

It follows teenagers Reece Murphy, who is on a quest for freedom after being forced into an infamous gang because of a mysterious gold coin he acquired, and Charlotte Vaughn, an aspiring female journalist looking to break into the male-dominated industry, who manipulate each other for their own ends after crossing paths in a botched train robbery.

Bowman said the books use “morally gray characters” to explore themes like family, identity, justice and revenge and philosophical questions like, “Will revenge bring true happiness?”

“I like writing about characters who make decisions that aren’t the best, but you still root for them,” she said.

Bowman didn’t set out to write young adult novels but was drawn to the challenge of writing teenage characters.

“Teens are discovering who they are and what they want to be in the world. It’s an intense time,” she said. “That theme of discovery has always resonated with me, and I find myself coming back to it and exploring that theme.”

Part of that challenge, she said, was writing about teenagers who live in a world that

Katy Tur was not a political reporter.

When the presidential primaries really started ramping up in 2015, she was living in Europe with her boyfriend and reporting on human interest stories. Her NBC boss called her home to report on Trump’s candidacy announcement and campaign. There were so many candidates that the best reporters were already assigned to others, and NBC needed people to cover the lesser-known candidates.

Don’t worry, Trump is a flash in the pan, you’ll be back in Europe in a few weeks, Tur was assured by her boss.

As we all know, that’s not exactly how things turned out.

Unbelievable is Tur’s retelling of her many months on the road following the Trump campaign. She watched his popularity grow, she watched his base speak out, and she saw how Trump’s message changed to match what his audience wanted.

Tur was also there when Trump first started accusing the press of being dishonest. During an early campaign stop, Trump specifically called out Tur as an example of dishonest media. Like a cat playing with a mouse, Trump would continue to call her out to embarrass her one day and be charming to her the next, she writes. By the time election night came around, Tur was getting security protection from the Trump supporters who threatened to hurt her at each event.

A book about a reporter living and breathing a candidate’s presidential campaign would be interesting enough (we hear about almost missed flights, dinners of peanut butter crackers, and buying the same sweater in several colors so that she is always “camera ready”), but this book takes it quite a bit further by giving us an intimate and unfiltered account of what it was like to report on a candidate who followed no rules.

Instant fact checking became imperative as Trump spouted lie after lie. Threats were made, fights at rallies became the norm, as did the crowd turning in unison to the press pen where, directed by Trump, they would hiss, boo and raise collective middle fingers to the reporters.

Tur had a front row seat for the entire campaign. During a one-on-one interview with Trump, Tur gives us this insight.

“And he’s orange. There is no other way to describe him. He’s the color of orange marmalade, perhaps a shade darker, like marmalade on toast. He adjusts his jacket and then adjusts it again in a losing effort to keep the flaps down and the tie in place. But he doesn’t button it.

He also doesn’t say hello, exactly, but sort of sings it.

He smiles and squints, and the sound seems to slip out the side of his face. His voice is lilting, almost cartoonish. We shake hands — and I go to take my seat.

Trump looks confused.

“Don’t you want a picture?” he asks me, as if he doesn’t know why I haven’t suggested it yet. “Come here, Katy.”

Unbelievable is a fascinating account of what shouldn’t have happened in America but did. It’s an important account of a period in America’s history that will be looked at from all angles.

The book could stand some improvements. Chapters switch between covering the campaign in the past and an almost hour-by-hour account of election night.

The transitions are not as smooth as they could be and are in some cases jarring.

Also, there is a difference between a reporter and a writer. A reporter must be unbiased, presenting only the facts. A writer is free to be as biased and give as much personal information as they like in their role of storyteller. Tur’s book reads in some places like she’d written an article first and then went back to fill in some personal facts and opinions to make it look more “personal.”

And there is a bit of repetition. It’s not horrible but it’s noticeable enough to take you out of the story. It’s nothing that a good editor wouldn’t have caught, but I have a feeling this book was rushed to press to catch the post-election interest wave.

Bottom line? The writing is adequate but not great. The transitions between the two timelines used in the book are clunky.

But the story itself is so compelling that it absolutely carries the book. You won’t find this story anywhere else. B — Wendy E.N. Thomas

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Murder on the Orient Express (PG-13)

Kenneth Branagh invites us to his tedious Agatha Christie-themed birthday party in Murder on the Orient Express, a lifeless adaptation of the mystery novel.

AT THE MULTIPLEX

Opening Friday, Nov. 17: Justice League (PG-13) I haven’t read any of the early reviews so I am still filled with very cautious optimism about this supergroup superhero movie featuring Wonder Woman, Batman, Aquaman, The Flash and Cyborg; Wonder (PG) Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson star in this adaptation of the popular book about a boy with facial differences entering a new school.

• Mary (Daisy Ridley), a governess with some mysterious connection to Arbuthnot.

• Professor Hardman (Willem Dafoe), a snobby Austrian you will think of entirely as “Prof. Willem Dafoe” (which would be a fun addition to Celebrity Clue, should any-

Quick Takes Daddy’s Home 2 (PG-13) Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell.

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg take their blendedfamily angst on a Christmas vacation in this movie where nobody behaves recognizably like real people or goes big enough to reach comic absurdity. Every scene — things like “the family participates in a live Nativity that devolves into a snowball fight” — feels like a hackily “wacky” premise on which hacky responses are

piled, like a throwaway sitcom from the hackiest days of laugh-track sitcom writing. The movie takes its very thinly drawn characters to a setting, gives them little to no motivation for the scene and then lets them go. But they don’t “go” anywhere.

Daddy’s Home 2 needed to be darker. Or lighter. Or goofier. Or family-friendlier or R-rated. It needed to do something and commit to it enough to be a movie that was, at least, visibly trying to entertain. D

Hercule Poirot (Branagh, who as director of this endeavor miscast himself) is a famed detective whose fastidiousness about tiny details helps him solve unsolvable cases. Called to London unexpectedly, Poirot travels from Istanbul on the luxurious train the Orient Express. In first class, he is accompanied by a collection of capital-C Characters who include: • Princess Dragomiroff (Judi Dench), a Judi Dench character with a Russian (or something) accent, and Hildegarde Schmidt (Olivia Colman), her attendant.

• Mrs. Hubbard (Michelle Pfeiffer), an American on the hunt for a husband who helpfully expositions her life story for no reason (not suspicious at all!) the first time she’s on screen.

• Ratchett (Johnny Depp), a cartoon of a wise-guy type.

• Mr. MacQueen (Josh Gad), his accountant.

• Dr. Arbuthnot (Leslie Odom Jr.), a doctor who might be an interesting character but gets

• Countess Elena Andrenyi (Lucy Boynton), his ballet dancer wife who is also A Lot. Bouc (Tom Bateman), party-boy nephew of a train executive, is the on-site company representative for the Orient Express and an old friend of Poirot.

One night while asleep in his compartment, Poirot is woken up several times — by a sound from Mr. Ratchett’s cabin, by a call from Mrs. Hubbard, by the sound of someone in the hallway and finally by a train derailment caused by an avalanche. The train is secured enough after the derailment that the passengers go back to their cabins.

The next morning, Ratchett is found dead in his bed. He has been drugged with Barbital and stabbed multiple times. Poirot, who had met with Ratchett earlier in the journey and turned down an offer to be the man’s bodyguard, decides to investigate the murder and quickly surmises that the killer is still on the train.

Dun dun DUN! Even if only half the audience knows the solution to this classic mystery, it would seem to me that the movie would need to go the extra mile to make either the investigation or the investigator compelling enough that you care about the action. The BBC’s Sherlock, for all its indulgences and fan service near the end, made the investigation and the characters fun enough that 51

tions” but enjoyed all of the mysteries.

Here, the costumes and set pieces and Branagh’s facial wiggery are all the movie has to offer aside from the quickly obvious answer to the whodunit. The performances are smothered in these external trappings. I never felt like I was seeing a lovelorn governess or a heartbroken princess. I was watching Michelle Pfeiffer vamp and Johnny Depp base yet another role on a mustache. Depp in particular seems to have lost the ability to melt into a role, even for a moment.

There is no fun in this movie, no energy, no liveliness. I’m not saying that this movie needed to be a joke factory, but it

needs to have some sense of playfulness, something to make this very stagey, very amusement-park-ride like story feel like it is alive in some kind of universe, even if it’s a fantastical one. As it is, this feels like a magazine shoot or an old-fashioned tableaux, something that is meant to produce a visual effect for a moment (which it does do very well) but nothing more lasting. C Rated PG-13 for violence and thematic elements, according to the MPAA. Directed by Kenneth Branagh with a screenplay

by Michael Green (from the Agatha Christie novel), Murder on the Orient Express is an hour and 54 minutes long and distributed by 20th Century Fox.

TUESDAY, DEC. 5TH · 7PM Bill McKibben at the Capitol Center for the Arts Gibson’s Bookstore, the Capitol Center for the Arts, and New Hampshire Public Radio are pleased to present Bill McKibben (The End of Nature, Earth, Oil and Honey) on stage with Virginia Prescott, host of NHPR’s Word of Mouth and the 10-Minute Writer’s Workshop podcasts, as they discuss his debut novel, Radio Free Vermont, in which a band of Vermont patriots decide that their state might be better off as its own republic.

Bill McKibben is an author and environmentalist. His 1989 book, The End of Nature is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change, and has appeared in 24 languages. He is a founder of 350.org, the first planet-wide, grassroots climate change movement, which launched the fast-growing fossil fuel divestment movement.

Ticketing: Entrance to this event requires a ticket bundle ($35 or $48), which includes a copy of Radio Free Vermont.

When Trans-Siberian Orchestra played Christmas Eve and Other Stories live for the first time, the mashup of arena rock, classical music and holiday songs performed by what guitarist Jeff Plate termed “long-haired metal guys dressed in tuxedos” was bold, groundbreaking.

Two decades on, the rock orchestra’s annual tour is woven into the fabric of the season.

“We’ve become to people what It’s a Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street was to me when I was kid,” music director and guitarist Al Pitrelli said in a September teleconference.

“This is something that people have latched on to and made part of their holidays.”

TSO returns to Manchester for two performances on Nov. 25, featuring the show that launched the group nationally, The Ghosts of Christmas Eve. Originally a 1999 made-forTV movie, it’s been updated for the 60-city, 100-show tour.

“The look of the stage will be different, the lighting, the pyro, the lasers, the moving trusses, the video content,” Pitrelli said.

“We never really want to repeat ourselves; but we do want to have the familiarity of the rock opera that the people have really fallen in love with.”

That said, a cloud of loss will hang over the tour, as 2017 has been a year of tragedy for the beloved ensemble. In July, TSO bassist David Zablidowsky was killed when a tractor-trailer hit the RV he was riding in. His passing came a mere two months after foundTrans-Siberian Orchestra

er and visionary Paul O’Neill died from an accidental overdose of prescription medicine in a Florida hotel room.

Pitrelli, one of three musicians recruited by O’Neill in 1993 to form TSO, is resolute that the band will continue in the wake of losing its founder. He recalled late night talks when O’Neill spoke of TSO’s longevity spanning generations.

“He wants our children and our children’s children to be aware of what we did,” Pitrelli said. “People used to compare it to Pink Floyd and ELP and things like that. Paul chose to try to compare it to the works of maybe Mozart and Beethoven. He wants people to remember this 200 and 300 years down the road, not just 30 or 40.”

As in the past, reinvention and refinement of the show will continue, incorporating new visual ideas and ever modernized technology.

“The arts are always evolving; art is so alive,” Pitrelli said. “Somebody overheard me and Paul talking and they kind of used the quote from us. Paul said, ‘A complete art is a dead art. Once an art form is complete then it dies.’ This art form will never be complete; therefore it will just continue to live on and

evolve and grow up.”

Asked about plans to memorialize O’Neill during shows, Pitrelli said, “I think the tour itself is addressing his passing. ... It’s a tribute to the man’s genius and again the legacy that will be carried on by his family. .... From my heart right now, I think that every note that I play on the guitar, every note that’s sung by the singers, how it’s presented by the production staff, by his family, I think that everybody knows that everything is a tribute to Paul.”

Zablidowsky, called David Z by his bandmates, joined TSO the early 2000s.

“We watched him grow up and ... mature as an artist, as a person, as a performer,” Pitrelli said. “Again, there’s just another hole not only in our hearts, but his poor parents. I mean, no parent should ever bury their child.”

Many of O’Neill’s musical stories are rooted in themes of loss and redemption similar to what they’re now experiencing — ironic, Pitrelli said.

“It’s funny that even from the other side, Paul is still always going to teach all of us to ... tell someone you love them [or] say goodnight to the person you love if something went upside down,” he said. “You’re not guaranteed there’s a tomorrow to fix it, so just take care of everything right now. Every day’s a gift.”

As TSO grew from a musical idea into an institution, Pitrelli felt like one of many strange relatives helping O’Neill raise his baby.

“Every year we just keep feeding this thing and nurturing it and taking care of it, treating it like a growing child to the point where it’s become something so big and so incredible and it’s reached so many people we never thought we’d reach,” he said. “It’s been a privilege to be part of it all these years. Again, I got to be the weird uncle in the corner. That’s the only way I could describe it. A lot of aunts and uncles, and we’re all really proud of what they’ve created.”

SIGNS OF LIFE ly remembered, and what she remembered inventing? If you remember inventing it then you know it’s an invention.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) The temperature outside continued to hover near zero and the sky was its peculiar Adirondack gray.

In the library Ian played laconically with the pieces of the Erector set, which had lost their charm but, because of their link to his brother, remained more interesting than nothing. You just need to find something more interesting than nothing.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) We weren’t thinking about Naomi, either; she meant little to us and when we noticed her it was always as Miles Fairchild’s driver, Miles’s little friend. Naomi is her own person.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) His own feelings were puzzling enough. As for hers — crucial hours disappeared, if he wasn’t careful, into trying to understand why she acted like this. Don’t waste your time.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) How hard he’d tried, during his first years in New York, to find work that made some use of his training! … Up here, where Miles’s descriptions of his cement gun and his fossil dinosaurs could seem equally interesting, or equally pointless, now that he knew he’d never be a chemist or find work he loved, he was doing his best to appreciate whatever came his way. Good idea.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) He told himself that once she saw the importance of his work, she’d be proud to be part of it. Spend some time thinking about what’s important.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) A pipe broke that afternoon in the village, leaving all the houses on the street below it temporarily without water. Despite Mrs. Martin’s apologies, Miles, who’d been looking forward to his evening bath, felt unreasonably annoyed.

Annoyances happen.

Quotes are from The Air We Breathe, by Andrea Barrett, born Nov. 16, 1954.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) From a tree an owl called; was he in love? Was that the name for this sense that, like the trees, the cattails, the frogs peeping, the geese arrowing overhead, he was springing back to life?

Or maybe he was simply in hope, which might be the same thing. Listen for owls.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) ...Leo had learned chemistry not in a lecture room but standing with his classmates at a long bench, surrounded by glassware, happily setting fires and shattering beakers and shooting fumes toward the open skylights. You can learn by doing. Carefully.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) When she tried to summarize for us some of the stories she’d treasured, she grew frustrated and said that with all writers, but especially Chekhov, summary ruined everything: beauty lay in the story itself, the particular arrangement of sentences. Maybe you just had to be there.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) All of them sure they knew how the world worked, unaware that their advice was useless and that they had nothing to say to her. What did they know about what she felt, what she needed, how the world was shimmering beyond these mountains, waiting for her to grasp it?

You can decide for yourself what you need.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) In college they dutifully studied the chemistry, physics, and engineering their futures would demand, but they also went to geology and paleontology lectures and read surreptitiously. Follow your interests.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) Inside her head they had conversations in which he spoke and she responded, the clarity of what she felt and heard exactly mimicking her memories of actual conversations. How was she a person to keep straight what she tru-

houser told The Press-Democrat the building was “completely torn up. ...

We made it through the big one, only to get taken out by this.” When the person who placed the order arrived to pick it up, he saw six Santa Rosa Fire Department trucks in the parking lot and left, so Funkhouser handed out free burgers to “anyone around.”

• A Henrietta, New York, gifts and oddities store earned its name on Oct. 24 when a garbage truck rolled between two gas pumps and across a road to crash into the 200-year-old building where the store had opened in June. Jeri Flack, owner of A Beautiful Mess, told WHAM-TV that her building is “wrecked in the front so bad that I can’t open back up.” Witnesses say the truck driver pulled into a spot at a Sunoco station across the street and got out to use the restroom. That’s when the truck rolled away and barreled into the business. Sunoco employee T.J. Rauber said, “I see a lot of crazy stuff up here, Animal troublemakers • Pilots were warned of “low sealings” but I ain’t never seen nothing like that.” at Wiley Post-Will Rogers Memorial Airport in Utqiagvik, Alaska, on Oct.

Meadow nal Shane Paul Owen, 46, of South Salt Bailey of the Alaska Department of Lake, Utah, was on the run from police Transportation told KTVA-TV that the on Oct. 24 when he dashed into a vacant city, also known as Barrow, was hit by church. A Salt Lake City SWAT team held heavy storms that day, and airport staff a standoff at the church for more than discovered the seal while clearing the six hours until Owen called 911 to say runway. However, staff are not autho- that he was locked in the church’s boilrized to handle marine animals, so North er room and couldn’t get out. “Can you Slope Animal Control stepped in, using a hurry?” he asked the dispatcher. “I need sled to remove the seal. Bailey said ani- to talk to them first so they don’t ... shoot mals such as musk ox, caribou and polar me,” Owen pleaded. The Deseret News bears are common on the runway, but the reported he was booked on outstanding seal was a first.

• About two dozen car owners in the Nob Hill neighborhood of Snellville, Georgia, were perturbed in late October by what they thought was vandalism: Their cars’ side mirrors were being shattered, even in broad daylight. Finally, according to WSB-TV, one resident caught the real perpetrator: a pileated woodpecker who apparently believes his reflection in the mirrors is a rival. Because pileated woodpeckers are a protected species, neighbors had to get creative with their solution. They are now placing plastic bags over their side mirrors while the cars are parked.

Three teenagers from Rahway, New Jersey, who call themselves the Rahway Bushmen, have been discouraged from their signature prank: dressing up as bushes and popping up in Rahway River Park to say “Hi!” to unsuspecting passersby. NJ.com reported in October that the Union County Police Department warned the Bushmen that they would be arrested if caught in action. The high school students started by jumping out to scare people, but decided to soften their approach with a gentler greeting.

“We were trying to be harmless,” one of the Bushmen said. “It’s more or less an idea to try to make people smile.” But Union County Public Information Officer (and fun sucker) Sebastian D’Elia deadpanned: “It’s great until the first person falls and sues the county.” Or puts an eye out.

Model parent

Amber L. Schmunk, 28, of Fredonia, Wisconsin, put all her resources to work in concocting a way to get a plastic kiddie pool from one house to another on Sept. 9. Her solution: She had her 9-yearold son climb on top of her minivan and hold down the pool as she drove through Saukville. She must have had second thoughts, though, because according to the Ozaukee Press, she told police the boy was up there for only 20 to 30 seconds before she pulled over and wedged the pool into the back of the minivan. Schmunk said she thought it would be OK for her son to ride atop the car because her father had allowed her to do similar things when she was a child. But officers disagreed, charging her with seconddegree recklessly endangering safety.

Justice with a side of vocab

Daren Young, 30, of Kahului, Hawaii, will need a good dictionary and thesaurus for the task ahead of him. On Oct. 27, Second Circuit Judge Rhonda Loo sentenced Young, who violated a protection order taken out by his ex-girlfriend to the tune of 144 calls and texts, to write down 144 nice things about his ex without repeating any words. “For every nasty thing you said about her, you’re going to say a nice thing,” Loo commanded. The Maui News reported that Loo also meted out two years’ probation, a $2,400 fine and 200 hours of community service.
