GRANITE VIEWS STEPHEN RENO

Beginnings As summer draws to a close, a season of beginnings opens. For the Jewish community, it is Rosh Hashanah, the start of a new year.

It is also back to school time as students of all ages commence another year of classes. September is also a time for weddings, the beginning of a new life together.

There is a freshness to all such beginnings. Back to school in days long past brings to mind new clothes, fresh supplies of paper and pencils, and a haircut.

With weddings, a couple begins a new life together and the gifts they used to be given on these occasions were to help them get a new household started.

Although such beginnings may now rarely be observed in those ways, the very human yearning for a new start perdures.

Many religious traditions mark the end of the old year by casting away items associated with that time — foodstuffs and clothing for example — and taking up new ones.

But beginnings are also a time to look back over what has ended, what has come to a close and to take stock of how it went and why. How well did those good beginnings fare and what role did we play in that outcome? Why are we ready for change now, when at that beginning earlier all was hope and promise?

There would thus seem to be a curious tension between our very human preference for continuity and stability on the one hand and novelty and change on the other. We welcome the new, but after time it too may seem worn, tired or simply all too familiar, and so we seek the new, the fresh, the different. Things just run down, or so it seems.

But perhaps it’s we who do. We who need the refresh, the restart, the reset button. The question is, why?

In the Jewish High Holy Days, Yom Kippur is a day set aside for meditation and prayer, time set aside for each person to reflect on the year ending and how she or he has lived it. In other words, it is a time to contemplate the very human tendency to lose focus, for intentions to falter and attention to drift: a time to consider why things did not turn out as we first expected. It is an ancient practice with a perennial relevance, especially at this season.

Biomass debate

department is facing financial challenges due to recently discovered overspending by the previous bureau’s leadership, dating back to at least 2012. After an agency-wide fiscal review, officials learned the bureau had spent millions more than it was taking in, relying on accumulated surplus funds. These additional federal dollars will specifically support the state’s Vocational Rehabilitation program.

Education funds

UNH major

As state lawmakers returned to session on Thursday, Sept.

13, groups from around the state continued to spar over two energy bills vetoed by Gov. Chris Sununu in June. According to the bill’s text, SB 365 would have required electric companies to offer to purchase the net energy output of the state’s biomass and waste-to-energy facilities, while SB 446 would have increased the capacity of customer generators who participate in net metering.

In his veto letter, Sununu said the bills “combined would cost New Hampshire electric ratepayers approximately $100 million over the next three years,” and they conflict with his administration’s 10-Year Energy Strategy.

In August, the mayors of New Hampshire’s 13 cities cosigned a joint letter to the state’s House and Senate leadership asking the General Court to override the governor’s vetoes. The New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association organized a protest at the Statehouse in Concord last week. In a statement, Executive Director Jason Stock said, “The day of the veto, over ten million dollars in forestry equipment sales went up in smoke. …

Three biomass plants immediately went idle and all six plants will shut down if this veto stands.

That will destroy our state’s forest management industry.” On the other side of the debate, the Energy Justice Network released a report claiming that the seven incinerators that would have been subsidized by SB365 are among the top 13 biggest industrial air polluters in the state. Additionally, the report said that in 2014, these seven facilities accounted for 21 percent of the state’s industrial air pollution.

Gov. Chris Sununu announced that New Hampshire will receive $1.23 million in additional federal funding from the U.S. Department of Education to bridge a shortfall for the 20182019 school year. This is the first time the New Hampshire Department of Education has applied for additional support through re-allotment. According to the governor’s announcement, the

The Board of Immigration Appeals reversed an order from the Trump administration and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport a group of Indonesian immigrants living in New Hampshire and reopened their asylum cases, according to a news release from Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. The senator helped negotiate an agreement with ICE in 2012, which allowed Indonesian immigrants who fled their native country due to religious persecution to remain in the Granite State. These immigrants can obtain work permits but must have regular check-ins with ICE.

In a new report, the Economic Policy Institute found that New Hampshire teachers are paid 24.3 percent less than other college graduates, slightly worse than the national average of 23.8 percent. The average weekly wages for public elementary and secondary teachers in New Hampshire was $1,151, compared to $1,520 for all other college graduates. Granite State teachers with a master’s degree ($1,219) still earned a lower weekly wage than other college graduates with a bachelor’s degree ($1,340). According to the report, there is no state where teacher pay is equal to or better than that of other college graduates.

Collective headaches

Public unions adjust to Supreme Court ruling

Other public unions in New Hampshire have also made the value of their services the focus of conversations with members.

Megan Tuttle, president of the New Hampshire chapter of the National Education Association, said the union took a preemptive approach and planned for “worst case scenario.”

“We looked at the makeup of the [Supreme Court], and it didn’t look great,” said Tuttle. “Even if Janus had gone the other way, there were about 20 similar cases behind it.”

Tuttle said NEA-NH has been talking with members to find out what was important to them about their membership.

The union represents about 14,000 teachers and 3,000 “education support professionals,” including custodians, bus drivers, nurses and other school employees.

Though Tuttle didn’t share specific numbers, she said the union didn’t ANDREW CLINE have a large number of members that paid agency fees. Regardless, she said, these conversations were beneficial and have helped members to stay.

“We’re working through trying to get those [non-union] members to join, but that’s something we’ve been working on no matter what,” she said. “We’ve been here for more than 150 years, and one case like this isn’t going to make us go away.”

For the Teamsters Local 633, Padellaro estimated that “under 1 percent” of the employees the union represents are non-members. Union leaders approached agency fee members and told them what their rights and options were. Since then, Padellaro said membership has been largely unaffected by the Janus decision.

“We haven’t seen the needle move at all in terms of people abandoning ship under the auspices of Janus,” he said. “I have my faith placed in our membership, and hopefully it’s not an issue we’ll have to deal with.”

However, Padellaro added that the union is in the process of drafting legislation that would allow unions to negotiate “members only” contracts. He anticipated the union would propose the bill to the New Hampshire General Court during next year’s legislative session.

From now on, public-sector unions will no longer get to take that money without the employee’s consent.

Preparing for the future

Though Gulla is confident in the union’s membership, he said it’s “too early to tell” when asked about the long-term impact of Janus, and whether the group of 2,000 nonpaying employees represented by the union will grow moving forward. He said the union believes education is the key, and they regularly engage in conversations with new and old employees at various meetings and trainings throughout the year.

“New state employees need to understand why they should contribute to the benefits that come from hard-fought contract wins,” said Gulla. “If someone chooses not to contribute to the benefits they enjoy and passed the cost off to their coworkers, that’s the wrong approach to protecting their pay and benefits.”

National trends for union membership indicate that unions have their work cut out for them in terms of reaching younger workers. In 2015, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that nearly half of all union members were between 45 and 64 years old. Workers ages 16 to 24 had the lowest union membership rate at 4.4 percent, and there was a smaller share of union members than nonunion workers in this age range.

“With the evolution of workplace protection laws and the advent of benefits for heath care and otherwise, we’re potentially seeing a changing mindset among younger workers with regard to the perceived benefit of bargaining as a collective,” said Reidy of Sheehan Phinney. “Employers are always focused on understanding the market and labor pool and adjusting their benefits, and likewise, unions have to do the same thing.”

Tuttle of NEA-NH admitted that the union has struggled with these perceptions among its younger members. She said they don’t always know the history of collective bargaining among educators.

“Working conditions are connected directly to learning conditions for students,” said Tuttle. “In some respects working conditions have improved in areas like technology, but there’s so many places were budgets have been cut.”

Though the long-term effects of Janus are still unraveling, Reidy believes workers will continue to share unions’ positive view of the benefits and protections of collective bargaining. However, he said there’s no doubt the decision had an immediate impact on public sector unions. And while the Janus ruling narrowly covers public sector unions, Reidy said it’s entirely possible for a case to come down the line focusing on agency fees for private unions using the same arguments.

Back home on the farm

Agriculture workshop offers resources for veterans

By Scott Murphy

smurphy@hippopress.com

A local, veteran-owned farm is teaming up with the University of New Hampshire’s Cooperative Extension to provide resources and support to aspiring farmers who’ve returned from the line of duty. Veterans and their families can learn about opportunities in agriculture while networking with other veterans and state resource providers on Saturday, Sept. 15, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at D & R Farm in Deering.

UNH Cooperative Extension has organized these free workshops for veterans for the past few years, with about 25 veterans and their families attending last year’s event.

Since 1915, the department has offered educational agriculture events and resources throughout the state.

During the workshop, veterans and service members can hear stories from other veterans who have started farms and agricultural businesses. The program will also include open discussions and Q&As, as well as a panel with members of the New Hampshire Farm Bureau’s committee for veterans in agriculture.

“We realized that we have a lot of veterans in the state who would like to be farmers, but they don’t know how to do it,” said Mike Lunak, state specialist for dairy management at the UNH Cooperative Extension. “We have veterans who are already farmers in the state, and we think there’s value for them to be able to share their personal experiences.”

Along with helping veterans return to civilian life, the workshops are also a means of addressing the state’s aging farmer population, according to Steve Turaj, dairy, livestock and forage crops field specialist at UNH Cooperative Extension. While he said agriculture is just one avenue veterans can use to make this transition, their backgrounds in the military are often a good fit for farming, whether independently or as a worker for an existing operation.

“Farmers are always looking for really qualified people, and a lot of veterans have helped them develop skills that farmers could really use,” said Turaj, who is a veteran. “We hope to connect two natural partners to help agriculture in New Hampshire.”

Therapy through nature

Donn Mann of D & R Farm will share his own story about how and why he went from the military and into farming, as well as the resources he needed and the challenges he overcame to launch his business.

Mann was active-duty military in the army for just under seven years and moved to Derry

in 2014 after he returned to New Hampshire.

He bounced around from job to job, with a goal of having land and being able to support himself. This past March, he purchased the property for D & R Farm in Deering. He’s started growing vegetables and raises chickens and pigs, which he uses to till the land by breaking up topsoil and eating larvae and insects.

Farming has allowed Mann to takes several attributes from his military experience and apply them to a new challenge. He said it’s also therapeutic to be able to focus on creating life and taking care of life instead trying to take lives away.

“I’m able to provide a service to people like I did in military, with the chance to be able to do things my own way,” said Mann. “There’s a lot of structure and rank in the military, so it’s nice to be able to embrace my creativity and develop what I have in mind.”

Beyond sharing his own story, Mann said the workshop will offer an opportunity for veterans to have face-to-face conversations with state agricultural experts, as well as build a network of support with other veterans. He said many veterans are more likely to lean on each other due to their shared experiences.

“A lot of veterans, especially if they’ve been deployed, are pretty closed off, because they’ve come back after seeing things through a different set of eyes,” said Mann. “Having a workshop specifically for veterans is going to allow them to be around people they can trust.”

Veterans in Agriculture Workshop When: Saturday, Sept. 15, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Where: D & R Farm (24 Manselville Road, Deering) What: Veterans and their families can learn about opportunities in agriculture while networking with other veterans and state resource providers. A light lunch will be provided. Pre-registration is encouraged but not required.

Erectile Dysfunction is Not A Sexual Death Sentence If you can’t stand the side effects of drugs like Viagra®, or you don’t want to take drugs to be able to enjoy intimacy, onset erectile dysfunction feels like being issued a sexual death sentence.

Let’s face it, erectile dysfunction can wreck your confidence, destroy your ego, damage your marriage, threaten a relationship and make you believe the best part of your life is over.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Over the last 15 years the Gold Standard Treatment in Europe, known as Pressure Wave Therapy, has helped hundreds of thousands reverse the symptoms of ED, reclaim their manhood and enjoy intimacy as often as they like, with no need for pills, needles or pumps. This therapy works well but we were not satisfied with these results alone. This is why we are the first in the nation to offer a combination therapy.

PRESSURE WAVE -STEM CELL INTEGRATION THERAPY is now available and results are pouring in.

John R. reports, “I’m 74 years old and had tried everything to get an erection. Nothing worked. I didn’t think anything could help me, until I tried this. Now I have the ability and the confidence to satisfy my wife in the bedroom.

Thank you for giving me my sex life back!”

Our success rate with these therapies is over 90 percent. The Pressure Wave-Stem Cell Integration Therapy helps remove plaque as it builds up in veins and arteries supplying blood to the penis, blood flow is restricted and you begin to lose your ability to get and maintain an erection.

Left unattended, the vascular infrastructure of your penis begins to collapse. Tissues, veins

and nerves shrivel up. Your penis shrinks. And part of what makes you a man fades away.

HOW PRESSURE WAVE -STEM CELL INTEGRATION THERAPY works and why it works so well...

Ninety percent of all ED is caused by restricted blood flow to the penis. That means the key to restoring normal, healthy function is to restore normal, healthy blood flow.

At our clinic, a male Registered Nurse performs a painless Doppler Ultrasound test to determine if blood flow is restricted and to what extent.

If a blockage is found and you are cleared for treatment, the Nurse uses a hand-held device to focus sound waves on veins and arteries with obstructed blood flow.

The waves move through tissue and 1) gently dissolve plaque that restricts blood flow; 2) activate your own stem cells that cause veins to regenerate and new blood vessels to grow and; 3) promote nerve growth that gives you greater sensitivity and more enjoyment.

The treatments take about 20 minutes. There are no known side-effects and no recovery time.

Umbilical Cord Stem Cells If your ED is mild to moderate, the Pressure Wave Therapy alone may solve your issues.

If it is more severe, the Stem Cell Integration Therapy will optimize your results. We use Umbilical Cord Stem Cells. They are proven to be highly angiogenic, meaning they create new blood flow and regenerate tissue like nothing we have ever seen.

Most men see significant improvement and are able to enjoy sex within three to five weeks.

Your next step is easy... Call now and return to intimacy without pills, needles, or pumps

Now landing in Manchester Queen City welcomes new airport director

In August, the Manchester Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved Theodore “Ted” Kitchens as airport director for the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Kitchens has nearly 20 years of experience in the aviation industry and was most recently general manager of George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas. He will take over as airport director in Manchester on Monday, Oct. 1.

port’s watermark year in 2005, which I think has more to do with changes in the industry than the region and the market in Manchester. I think that’s about to change.

The demand is still there Theodore Kitchens in the Manchester region, and the population and household income is higher now. There’s no reason we have to continue this downward trend. I want to work with the staff to look at our past initiatives and efforts, blend it in with my own strategies and come up with a hybrid approach.

You’re moving from one of the busiest airports in the country to a smaller, regional operation. What do you anticipate that transition will be like?

I’ve actually made this type of transition before. I went from [Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia], the world’s busiest airport, to a smaller operation at [Newport News-Williamsburg International Airport in Virginia]. While it’s true that I’m moving from a larger to a smaller operation, the management functions will be the same: run a safe operation that follows federal regulations. All the airports I’ve worked at run under the same regulations, no matter the size. … I’m already working with the staff in Manchester to transition out and in. I’ve been getting up to speed on airport documents.

Obviously we have a very critical season just around the corner with winter, and I’m very impressed with the information I’ve been given and the plans that are in place.

In general, what are the greatest strengths and weaknesses of the modern aviation industry?

There’s an old adage that says, “A mile of road can get you ahead a mile, but a mile of runway can get you to see the world.” The greatest strength of aviation is what it can bring to us. It connects us to the world, and vice versa. That’s the importance of airports to local communities. … I like to rephrase “weaknesses” as “challenges,” and the greatest challenge facing the industry is how to fund new airport infrastructure. The most recent industry survey pegged the capital needs of the nation’s airports at $75 billion.

The grants and federal funding we can get just don’t cover it all. If we want to remain competitive and strive to have the best and safest aviation system in the world, we need to have an honest discussion as an industry.

What are the biggest challenges facing Manchester Airport, and what do you hope to accomplish as the director?

Once I start, I want to reach out to the employees and key leaders and local industry stakeholders so I can address the needs of the community. For the first two or three months, my job will be establishing those relationships and getting through wintertime. … Clearly one of the items on the list will be to stop the slide in the seats and ridership.

Why did you decide to apply for the job here in Manchester?

When the opportunity presented itself, I asked myself five key questions I always consider with new opportunities: Is it a great place to raise my family, and does the airport have good air service, a strong financial position, strong local support and a good government structure? When I researched Manchester Airport, it came back with A+s across the board. Plus it’s just a natural extension and next step for my career. It’s what my family has sacrificed for and supported me for as we’ve traveled around the country for my career.

I recently got a Big Green Egg barbecue smoker, and I love cooking out on that.

It’s completely different than your typical charcoal or natural gas grill.

What are you looking forward to about living in the Northeast, and what adjustments do you think will be a challenge?

I worked [remotely] for Burlington International Airport [in Vermont] as a consultant for five years. I’m certainly familiar with the region, but I’ve never lived in New England.

I also haven’t gone through a New England winter, but Virginia winters weren’t easy either, and we got our fair share of snow. …

The New England region is world renowned for its quality of life, education opportunities and natural beauty. I’m looking forward to having four seasons again. Here in Houston, we have two seasons: hot and hotter. I’m also a photographer on the side, and I love doing dynamic range photography of natural landscapes. Obviously in New England, I’ll have plenty of landscapes to choose from.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Alzheimer’s disease The number of New Hampshire residents ages 65 and older with Alzheimer’s disease is projected to grow 33.3 percent between 2018 and 2025, according to a report from the Alzheimer’s Association.

That’s a jump from 24,000 to 32,000 people in this age group. In 2015, New Hampshire had an Alzheimer’s mortality rate of 32.5 percent, 432 deaths for every 100,000 individuals with the disease.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions. According to the report, the disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S. and fifth-leading among individuals ages 65 and older.

City on the hill Concord was ranked as the third best state capital to live in, according to a report from SmartAsset. The study included all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Among Concord’s strengths was its 2.3 percent unemployment, the lowest of any capital in the nation.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Along with Concord, both Montpelier, Vermont, (4) and Boston, Mass., (6) also ranked well in the study. Augusta, Maine, fell toward the middle of the pack at 28, while Hartford, Connecticut, plummeted to 49 on the list.

Disaster recovery Organizations in Belknap, Carroll, Coos, Grafton, Merrimack and Sullivan counties will now receive more than $1.13 million in disaster relief funding from FEMA, according to a news release. The money will help cover the cost of recovery efforts following severe storm and flooding that hit the state from Oct. 29 through Nov. 1 last year.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The federal government initially approved this disaster relief request from Gov. Chris Sununu in January. According to a news release from the governor’s office, heavy rainfall and strong winds caused severe damage to hundreds of miles of roadways and left more than 270,000 electricity customers without power.

School performance In the 2018 edition of its annual Quality Counts report, Education Week ranked New Hampshire’s overall school performance fourth in the nation. The Granite State earned an overall score of 83 out of 100 and a “B,” behind only Connecticut (83.5, B), New Jersey (87.2, B+) and Massachusetts (87.8, B+). The Granite State performed nearly 10 points better than the national average (75.2, C).

QOL Score: +1 Comment: The overall score was calculated by scores in three categories: students’ chance for success, school finance and K-12 achievement. New Hampshire performed particularly well in chance for success (90.1, A-), landing second in the nation behind just Massachusetts (91.7, A-). New Hampshire and Massachusetts were the only two states to land in the A-range in this category.

QOL Score: 82 Net change: +2 QOL this week: 84

HIPPO | SEPTEMBER 13 - 19, 2018 | PAGE 12

Last week we offered thoughts on the Patriots as the 2018 NFL season began. Today we’ll do the same for the entire league after the first week of play.

Guess his three interceptions in a 24-16 opening loss to Minnesota will slow down the “Jimmy G to the Hall” chatter we’ve been hearing since those five wins to close 2017. That also puts TB-12 in the lead in their race for MVP Football 101: Which NFL franchise has had the most players inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

Hard to decide who to root for/against during Sunday’s matchup between diva delight Odell Beckham Jr. and mouthy Jalen Ramsey in the Jags’ lucky 20-15 win against the G-Men. With 11 catches on 15 targets OBJ probably won, but averaging just 10 yards per is not supposed to be his game.

Speaking of OBJ, I’m not a fan of his act so I admit bias, but I’m guessing the Giants will regret giving him $65 million guaranteed and $95 million over five years. Hope it changes, like with Randy Moss, but he’s a dingbat with the maturity of a five-year-old, which could derail the potential his high talent level offers.

Speaking of getting paid: With a strip sack, fumble recovery and pick six in the first half vs. GB on Sunday, Khalil Mack started earning his money quickly after last week’s holdout-induced trade from Oakland to Chicago. He’s really good, but making him the highest-paid defender in NFL history is a double-edged sword, as you have to weigh his production vs. the hit the team’s overall depth takes when giving that big a chunk of the salary cap to one guy. Especially when injuries and depth are such a big factor as the season goes along. Throw in the cost to get him — two first-round picks, a third-round in 2020 and a fifth in 2020 — wouldn’t it have been

better to spend it on someone in free agency?

I doubt Coach B would ever do that. But I wonder what he’d have done if he had had the same decision Oakland had, if the same rules applied and he was in charge when Lawrence Taylor played for him with the Giants.

Flash forward to today, and there’s Chandler Jones ranked as the NFL’s 43rd best player in an ESPN pre-season poll. He was traded a year ahead of free agency and the question is, given their paltry pass rush in recent years was sending the 2017 NFL sack leader away a mistake? Though I’d like the sacks, probably not, because he now makes enormous money and you have to wonder what two Super Bowl winning teams would have lost off the roster because of his impact on the salary cap.

On this same subject, while I think the L.A. Rams could be really exciting this year, they’d better win now, because with all the dough they’ve given out since last year their cap will be a mess in a year or two.

The irony of trying to make the kickoff return safer by not allowing the defense to run until the ball is kicked appears to be that there will be longer returns.

Always thought my job was to complain about broadcasters, but Tony Romo was very good during the Pats and Texans Sunday while calling a very good game like a QB in the booth. Best call: “Deshaun [Watson], move over, buddy, you’re behind the guard,” as Watkins was getting ready to take a snap in the shotgun.

The Blue Wave is Coming Political Poll Question: Who is the kicker on the Patriots’ all-time team — Gino Cappelletti, Adam V or Stephen Gostkowski? See the Glossary for details.

Football 101 Answer: Too many to name, but with 28, Chicago’s Bears have the most Hall of Famers, which includes the man with the best descriptive nickname in sports history, Bronko Nagurski, along with Sid Luckman, Gale Sayers, Dick Butkus, Walter Payton, this year’s inductee Brian

Urlacher and NFL/Bears founder George Papa Bear Halas.

2018 Predictions: AFC: East – Do I have to say? North – Pittsburgh despite Sunday’s debacle in Cleveland. South – Houston — they’d have won last year if DeShaun Watson hadn’t gotten hurt. West – Kansas City — San Diego is the chic pick, but I’ll take KC. Wild cards – Jacksonville and Baltimore.

NFC: East – Philly – still-celebrating dumbbell fans leave a hangover but the division is pretty weak. North – Vikings — I’m not a huge Kirk Cousins fan, but I like their D and the Packers are like Notre Dame, always picked to be better than they are. South – Carolina — Defense wins and theirs is best by far. West – Rams — The D could dominate, the QB turned out much better than I thought and he’s got weapons. Wild cards – Saints and Redskins.

Top 5 General Predictions: (1) Desperate Dallas brings back Dez by Week 4. (2) Newborn babies all over Jersey are named Saquon after that Barkley fella runs away with Rookie of the Year. (3) Buffalo eventually pines for the not great but underappreciated Tyrod Taylor. (4) John Gruden ain’t worth $100 million. (5) Pats D is gigantically improved with ex-DC Matty P thankfully in Detroit.

Finally, so much for hysterical talk radioled who-ha over Tom Brady and Gronk being off after missing OTA’s. It took just 3 minutes, 10 seconds for them to hook up on the TD first score setting the tone in a not as close at it looked 27-20 win over Houston.

Final tally, Gronk and Brady, a midseasonform seven catches, 123 yards, one TD catch, and 277 yards, three TD passes respectively.

Oh, one more thing — let the record show it took the most obnoxious fans in sports less than 30 minutes since winning their first championship in 68 years (1960) to boo the Eagles as they went to the locker room at halftime vs. Atlanta. Oh, and they still won 18-12.

A look at the varieties in this year’s apple crop PLUS Where to pick your own

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Orchards and farms across the Granite State are gearing up for apple picking season, with some growing a few popular varieties and others offering dozens throughout the fall.

“It can be easy for customers to get used to what apples they get at the grocery store, and it’s really just not the same as getting them straight from the orchard,” said Kris Mossey of McLeod Bros. Orchards in Milford, which began its apple picking season earlier this month with McIntosh and Paula Red apples.

Whether you are seeking out a specific apple variety or just want to see what’s available, most apple growers in the state will guide you to where to find the varieties ready to pick and what will be available when.

At Gould Hill Farm in Contoocook, which grows more than 80 varieties HIPPO | SEPTEMBER 13 - 19, 2018 | PAGE 14

throughout the season, about 14 or 15 are available for pick-your-own, while the rest can be purchased in the store. Owner Tim Bassett said that because there are so many scattered across the orchard, you can taste test apple varieties you may not have tried or even heard of before.

“We try to steer them toward things that they like, so if it’s something more sweet or more tart, we can get them toward different varieties,” Bassett said. “There are a whole slew of apples available for baking, and then we have some great for fresh eating, and others that we like to call a triple threat, if you will, meaning they are good for baking, eating or cider.”

Apples to apples

Two of the most common apple varieties grown at orchards across New Hampshire are the McIntosh and the Cortland — in fact, they are the only two grown at Scooter’s Farm of Woodmont in Hollis, a

six-acre orchard offering pick-your-own.

“The McIntosh is like the quintessential gold standard variety of the Northeast.

It’s more known for fresh eating and for its tart flavor,” farm owner Michael Madden said. “Then the Cortland is a variant of the McIntosh. Cortland [apples] tend to hold

up better in baking, and when you cut it, it doesn’t brown as easily as other apples, so people like to use those for salads as well.”

Other apple varieties, while they weren’t originally grown in the Granite State, are fast becoming popular alternatives to McIntosh and Cortland apples. One of them

Applesauce cake Courtesy of the family of Cathy (Hazelton) Plummer of Hazelton Orchards in Chester (best used with Gravenstein or McIntosh apples) 2 cups unsweetened applesauce 2 cups sugar ½ cup melted shortening 3½ cups flour 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground clove ½ teaspoon nutmeg 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 12 ounces raisins, rolled in flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 by 9-inch pan. Make enough applesauce for two cups, but do not sweeten.

Mix wet ingredients together in one bowl and mix dry ingredients together in another bowl. Combine until well mixed. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for one hour at 350 degrees. The cake is great as a snack with tea or coffee.

is the Honeycrisp, a large and bright reddish-green apple bursting with sweetness that makes it a great option for fresh eating and in sweet cider. The apple was first developed at the University of Minnesota, according to Carl Hills, co-owner of Kimball Fruit Farm, which has land in Hollis and Pepperell, Mass., and grows Honeycrisp among dozens of apple varieties.

“I would say just within the last 10 years Honeycrisp has gotten extremely popular,” Hills said. “I think the name helps a lot of them sell, but I also think that New England likes a sweet tart apple, and now that Honeycrisp is around, it seems like everybody wants to jump on them.”

Another new variety grown outside New England is the Pink Lady, a late-season apple available at Gould Hill Farm. Bassett said the Pink Lady has a similar look to the Honeycrisp but with a more tart taste.

Even some of the oldest named varieties grown in the state are still maintaining their popularity among apple growers and pickers. The Roxbury Russet, its name taken from its original growing location in Roxbury, Mass., back in the early 1600s, is still a sought after variety even today, according to Mossey.

“I think people search out the Roxbury Russet because it’s an old-time, antique variety,” she said. “It’s a brown apple. I like to use those in an apple cake, because they are not a wet, juicy apple. They are rather dry, and some people also just like them because they have a mild flavor, kind of like a bosc pear.”

Other antique varieties still widely grown include Baldwin and Northern Spy, both of which continue to be popular in baking pies but tend to be available late in the season, around mid- to late October and into early November.

But most apple growers will say that choosing an apple variety all comes down to your personal preference for taste and texture.

“The thing is you could use any apple into something like a pie but it’s going to depend on what type of pie you want,” Rob Larocque of Carter Hill Orchard in Concord said. “If you want a softer pie, you can cook it with McIntosh, and then you have the Cortland to give you more of a firmer texture, or you can use a mix of varieties.

If you want a sweeter taste, use a Gala or a Honeycrisp.”

A juicy harvest season

Timing is everything when it comes to weather patterns that have an overall effect on the growing status of each apple variety, according to Hills.

“We almost had a flip-flop season,” Hills said of this year. “It should have been wet in the spring, and then drier in the summer, and it ended up to be drier in the spring and wet in the summer, which is very unusual.”

He said a very wet month of August — some parts of the state picking up as much as 9 to 10 inches of rain for the month alone — is likely going to make most apples larger and juicier than normal.

“You know, it’s kind of like a child growing up. … The first half of an apple’s life is cell division and then the second half is cell expansion,” he said. “We had so much water that is going to swell these cells up and I have a feeling they are going to get quite big and inflated.”

Mossey said the hot stretch of 90-degree weather days in late August and into the early part of September may also have an effect on the ripening of some of the later apple varieties.

“I’ve been involved with growing apples here for the last 20 years … and I don’t think we’ve ever had this much rain in August,” she said. “So there’s a little bit of concern about whether the apples are going to stay on the trees or are they going to be too laden with water, and I don’t think anyone knows. Then there’s the question of how all that rain is going to affect harvest, and we won’t know until harvest is over.”

As the fall season moves forward, the overnight low temperatures will often determine how late in the season each apple orchard will still be open for pickyour-own apples.

“What happens is that as we get through the end of October, you get some cold nights, and if you get under 20 degrees, the apples are done, or they may be touched by a little bit of cold weather, but they won’t store well,” Mossey said. “So it all just depends not only on the weather, but what part of the state you’re in. There are so many variables.”

ARTS Modern edge

New gallery opens in downtown Manchester

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Manchester’s downtown arts scene continues to grow with the addition of a new art gallery on Chestnut Street, between Hanover and Amherst streets. The 700-square-foot ARGH Gallery, owned by Manchester artist Kevin Kintner, celebrates its grand opening on Friday, Sept. 14.

The name ARGH Gallery is inspired by comics, which Kintner said influenced him at a young age and fostered his interest in art. “‘ARGH’ is used a lot in comics as an expression of pain and frustration, often used humorously, and that’s the way I look at art,” he said. “Art is a kind of funny struggle.”

Two years ago, following a brief hiatus, Kintner started making art again. His work includes primarily large-scale mixed media collages on canvas or wood, created with acrylic paint and cut fragments of his old paintings. After producing a number of pieces, he began thinking about where he could show them. He was inspired after a new art gallery, Kelley Stelling Contemporary, opened on Hanover Street last October.

“I’ve shown in galleries before, and I had a sense of what galleries are like, so I thought, maybe one of the best ways to show my work again is to just open up space,” he said. “Then, when the Kelley Stelling gallery opened, I thought, man, I can do this; I’ve just got to find a space and

her garden, while Pidgeon creates abstract expressionist mixed media pieces using acrylics, oils, enamel and glass.

Kintner said the gallery will continue to highlight art that is “fresh and different and makes people think.”

“There may even be still-lifes or landscapes in here at some point, but they’ve got to have some kind of abstract quality, a contemporary or modern edge. They need to pique people’s interest,” he said. “I like art that makes people see different things and think different things.”

For now, exhibitions will rotate bimonthly. The third exhibition will open Nov. 14.

Kintner is currently looking for artists to feature and intends to make it a group show with work by around half a dozen artists.

Kintner hopes the opening of ARGH Gallery will help keep the momentum going in the Hanover Street-area’s rising art scene.

“I chose this neighborhood for a reason, because I thought it would connect,” he Kevin Kintner stands with his work at ARGH Gallery. Photo by Angie Sykeny. said. “I think Manchester is on the verge of put up some paintings.” love looking at all kinds of art and meeting getting more and more of this kind of thing.

New biology exhibit opens in Manchester

ibly important right now, and it’s a nice coupling with the study and exploration of genes in the exhibit.”

Howland said she hopes the universality of the exhibit will inspire more people to take a greater interest in STEM topics.

“We don’t expect them to leave as really wonderful scientists, but we want them to go away with a newfound desire to explore further and learn more,” she said.

The grant awarded to SEE Science Center that made “BiologYou” possible will also allow for updates to be made to existing exhibits, including an exhibit about the environmental health of the ocean and an exhibit that highlights the science behind cooking.

“People can expect to see a lot of enhancements here over the next year,” Howland said.

Discover the wonders of the human genome in SEE Science Center’s newest exhibit, “BiologYou.” After a long tour throughout the U.S., the exhibit will make its permanent home in Manchester, opening to the public on Saturday, Sept. 15.

“We have over 90 exhibits here, but nothing like this — nothing that is focused on biology or exploring genomes,” executive director Susan Howland said. “This is a really great opportunity for us to share a whole new facet of science with the public.”

The exhibit features a giant light-up, multi-colored model of a DNA strand — so giant, it had to be hoisted into the building through a large third-story opening — and a series of interactive kiosks and displays.

At the kiosks, visitors will compare the human genome to the genomes of a chimpanzee, a banana and more; use a probe to find a faulty gene sequence, a process that models how testing is done for specific disorders; discover how chance and environmental factors contribute to a person’s physical traits and more.

“It’s all very hands-on and has a lot of different components,” Howland said. “You’ll get to unravel how genetics play a role in life; why you got Mom’s dimples and Dad’s

hair color; how we can identify thousands of genes that contribute to disease. There will be a lot of aha moments for people.”

The exhibit appeals to kids and adults of all ages.

“Even kids younger than 2 will be fascinated by the DNA strand because it’s so visually appealing and exciting and active,” Howland said. “It draws everyone in.”

SEE Science Center plans to collaborate with its Millyard neighbors ARMI

(Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute) on programs for school groups designed to highlight the work that ARMI is doing and encourage young people to explore career opportunities in the regenerative manufacturing industry.

“They are working on things like building human hearts and lungs and kidneys.

It’s an amazing exploration of science happening right here in Manchester,” Howland said. “It’s a subject that we think is incred-

Keep it colorful

The best reddish trees and shrubs

By Henry Homeyer

Everyone seems to go wild for sugar maple trees in the fall because, here in New England, their leaves turn wonderful colors — yellow, orange and, best of all, red. But some trees and shrubs have reddish or purplish leaves all summer, and these, too, are very popular. Let’s take a look at a few of these.

My all-time favorite is the Japanese red maple. I grew up with a huge one in Connecticut, a great climbing tree for a young boy. The leaves are a deep wine red all summer and into the fall. It was probably 50 feet tall and wide.

In 1970 I dug up a small specimen from under my parents’ tree and brought it to my newly purchased home in Cornish Flat, N.H. Now, 48 years later, I still have the tree, but it is only about 10 feet tall and 8 feet wide. Our cold winters have kept it small — less than a quarter the size of the parent tree.

The Japanese red maple does best in full sun and rich soil, but will survive in part shade and less than perfect soil. Mine now gets just a few hours of sun each day as other trees nearby have grown tall. The hardiest variety for northern gardens is one called Bloodgood.

So what else can we grow? I like the copper beech. This is a variety of European beech and starts out in the spring with deep purple leaves. As the summer progresses, its leaves become more green. It is hardy in Zones 4 to 7, and is much more tolerant of poor soils than the American beech, our native species of beech. I do not have one but wish I did.

I do have a wonderful red-leafed curly hazelnut or Harry Lauder’s walking stick. It’s a variety called Red Majestic of the European filbert. In the spring the leaves are a deep red-purple but they develop a greenish tinge as the summer progresses. I have mine in a flower bed and have been able to keep it to an 8-foot-wide and 6- to 8-foot-tall tree by annual pruning. Even in August it has wonderful color — all this year’s growth is a rich purple-red.

As beautiful as my Red Majestic hazelnut is, it is even better in winter against the snow.

It has curled and contorted branches that stand out wonderfully against the snow. But it does not produce hazelnuts: these trees are either male or female, and both are needed to produce nuts. Mine is a male, lonely and unfulfilled.

I have a purple smokebush that I planted one in memory of a friend, Fritz Hier, who passed away in 1999. It is still small, and I often cut the branches to the ground in late winter. This stimulates it to send up long shoots with more colorful leaves than normal extensions. It does best in well-drained loam and sunny locations but is tolerant of crummy soils.

Smokebush is named for the flowers, which are quite ethereal. Actually, the flowers them-

selves are not remarkable, but the pedicles and peduncles (stems of the flowers) develop hairs which create an open, airy mass of pink or purple haze. Because I cut mine back, I have never seen it blossom, but the leaves are wonderful.

Common ninebark is a fast-growing multistemmed shrub that has a cultivar, Diablo, with deep purple leaves. I had two but got rid of one because they grow so fast, and it was blocking a view I liked. They can easily send up stems 3 to 5 feet in a year. It blooms in June, so don’t prune it in the early spring or you will lose the blossoms.

Ninebark does best in full sun but will tolerate some shade and will grow in any soil — acid or alkaline, wet or dry. Do not give it any fertilizer — ever! It is so vigorous it does not need any help. I understand there is a miniature form of Diablo called Little Devil that only grows to 3 or 4 feet tall and wide. I haven’t tried it yet but plan to.

Another nice reddish-leafed tree is a crabapple called Prairie Fire. It starts in the spring with prolific pinkish-red blossoms, followed by purple-maroon foliage. Later in the summer the foliage fades to a reddish green. The fruit persists into winter, bright red “berries” that are good food for birds.

I have not grown old-fashioned weigela, a medium-sized early summer shrub, but I know it comes in varieties with reddish or purpletinged leaves. Wine and Roses is one variety; other include Fine Wine and Midnight Wine, both compact varieties. In general old-fashioned weigela is a Zone 5 plant that can get 6 to 9 feet tall, with a spread of up to 12 feet wide.

Last but not least is a purple-leafed rose, Rosa glauca. I had one years ago, but something happened to it — I’m not sure what. It is said to be hardy to Zone 2, much colder than where I am. The single pink blossoms in June were nice, but the real attraction was the foliage, which was almost a gray-purple. The orange rose hips were nice in the fall.

So if you crave purple or red leaves, visit a garden center and see what they have. Fall is a good time to plant trees and shrubs because they extend their roots then, and the climate is less hot and dry.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Today’s cars don’t need highway miles to survive Dear Car Talk: I’m retired, and at age 70, I hit my midlife crisis and bought my first Mercedes (new). But being retired and living downtown in the city where I can walk to most things,

By Ray Magliozzi I find myself doing city driving almost all the time. So is it necessary to get on the freeway once in a while to keep the car engine in good shape? If so, how frequent and how far as a minimum? I enjoy your column! — Jim No, there’s no need to drive your car on the highway, Jim. People used to tell you to take your car out on the highway and “blow out the carbon.”

But there is no more carbon. Modern engines with fuel injection, computerized engine controls and improved gasolines run so cleanly now that if you take your engine apart after 50,000 miles, the tops of your pistons will be as clean as they were when you drove off the lot. So doing only “in town” driving is no problem. And if you’re driving for at least 15 or 20 minutes on a semi-regular basis, you’re probably getting the exhaust system hot enough to evaporate most of water vapor that condenses in there when the exhaust sys-

tem is cold.

If you take all five-minute trips, you could cause your exhaust system to corrode prematurely. An exhaust system on this car could run you a few mortgage payments. On the other hand, the exhaust system on a Mercedes is pretty robust. So even with all those short trips, corroding the exhaust might take 10 years. And by then, your ne’er-do-well son probably will have talked you out of this car, and you’ll be driving a 2028 S-Class. And we can let him replace the exhaust.

Enjoy your car, and don’t worry about it, Jim. Dear Car Talk: “Dad, my car won’t start” were the first words of a phone call from my daughter who is 1,500 miles away. Her typically reliable 2015 Madza 3 with less than 25,000 miles had stopped working. Specifically, the push-button start didn’t start the engine. Pushing the button repeatedly brought no response at all.

I first suspected the key fob (weak or dead battery). That was ruled out when the key fob was able to lock and unlock the doors from 50 feet away. After attempting the starting process several times and asking the typical “dad” questions (“Is the car in park?” “Is your foot on the brake?”), she exclaimed: “It

started!” I had her drive immediately to the dealer since it was still under warranty. Of course, the car started perfectly then.

A subsequent examination revealed a defective brake light switch. In today’s cars, this switch doesn’t only activate the brake lights when the pedal is depressed; it also sends a signal to the computer that the brake has been engaged and it’s OK to start the car.

The faulty switch resulted in an intermittent signal. My question is, given the critical role that this once-simple part now plays in modern cars, why hasn’t it been re-engineered to be much more robust and reliable? — Pete It probably hasn’t been re-engineered because not enough of them fail, Pete. As you say, the brake must be depressed in order to start the car. That’s a carryover from the 1980s, when Audis were thought to be possessed with “unintended acceleration” demons.

Upon investigation, they found that at least some of the cases of cars accelerating through the back walls of garages were caused by people stepping on the gas when they thought they were stepping on the brake. So carmakers started engineering “interlocks.” They made it so you couldn’t shift out of park unless your foot was on the brake. And then, when keyless ignition came into use, they required your foot

to be on the brake before the car would start.

And the simplest way to engineer that stuff was to use the existing brake light switch — which was already signaling when the driver’s foot was on the brake. While we know that most carmakers won’t use a 5-cent part when a 4-cent part will do, to be fair to them, I can’t remember the last time I replaced a brake light switch. So in general, they seem to be pretty darned reliable.

You were right to have her try stepping on the brake a few times, because a faulty brake light switch sometimes will work intermittently, or just be out of adjustment and respond to a harder press of the pedal. It’s also worth noting that there’s an ignition-shift interlock, which prevents the car from starting unless the transmission is in park or neutral.

That also can cause a non-starting condition.

So if you find yourself in a similar situation in the future, aside from monkeying with the brake pedal, you should move the shifter around in park, and then try it in neutral, too.

With your foot on the brake, of course.

But to be honest, Pete, we really haven’t seen an epidemic of faulty brake light switches. If we do, we’ll report the outbreak to the CDC. (That’s the Center for Defective Carparts, right?)

CAREERS

Dan Caouette

Event Entertainment Provider Dan Caouette is the owner of Village Idiotz Party Rentals in Manchester, which rents bounce houses, dunk tanks, mobile laser tag, interactive games, costumes and more for a variety of events. The company also runs an indoor entertainment center at the Steeplegate Mall in Concord.

Can you explain what your current job is?

We have an indoor facility and work with rentals, and we also run temporary Christmas stores. We offer entertainment needs like bounce houses, dunk tanks and inflatable sports games.

We also have a mobile escape room and mobile laser tag. Our indoor play facility offers all the same stuff. … We do some corporate events and events for organizations like youth clubs, YMCAS, camps and charitable functions. But the majority of the events we do are household events. We also do old home days for a lot of towns and

are. … I’m a 42-year-old kid.

My purchases are made based on what I think will be fun.

If I want to try them and use them, then I figure other people will want to have the same experience. When I first saw inflatable sumo suits, I went out and bought them because I wanted to try them myself.

Now we offer them as rentals.

What’s the best piece of work-related advice anyone’s ever given you?

Forty hours pays the bills, 60 hours gets you ahead. Or rather, anything after 40 gets you ahead. I stick to the attitude that work’s not done until it’s done. I’m not going to disappoint my customers. I’m going to wake up early and keep working until the work is done.

Dan Caouette

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

There’s been a huge learning curve. It started out with on-the-job training with the person I bought the inflatables from, and now it’s going to trade shows, seminars and online classes. … Our first priority is keeping people safe, and our second priority is having fun. When I train our staff on how to do things, we follow the same guidelines and always prioritize safety.

How long have you worked there?

I started it five years ago, in October 2013. We started off with Christmas stores and we’ve grown it every year since. How did you find your current job?

Springtime of 2014 is when I started with We live in the Manchester area, so it was the rentals. easy enough to get started here. In terms of opening our facility in Concord, I already How did you get interested in this field? had a temporary Christmas store up there.

A three-day Greek food festival, Glendi will return for its 39th year to Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Manchester, where everything from barbecue lamb shanks and Greek meatballs to dozens of Greek pastries like butter cookies, fried dough balls and up to a half dozen variations of baklava will be served.

Glendi, which means “good times” in Greek, features traditionally made dishes by the church’s own members and volunteers. This year’s festival will be held from Friday, Sept. 14, through Sunday, Sept. 16. It’s one of the longest-running Greek food festivals in the area, according to event chairman Frank Comerford.

“The turnout of course always varies depending on the weather, but last year’s turnout was excellent. We’re really grateful to have the support that we do by the Greater Manchester community,” Comerford said, citing local businesses, media outlets, politicians and more that have contributed to Glendi as sponsors in the past.

The food offerings line more than a dozen tables under the festival’s tents, and the lines build up fast. The menu features staples like lamb shanks cooked in a tomato sauce, marinated chicken with a blend of Grecian herbs, Greek meatballs, pastichio (a Greek lasagna dish with a

creamy cheese sauce), stuffed peppers with rice, meat and tomato sauce, and dolmathes (baked stuffed grape leaves with rice and meat and covered in a lemon sauce).

“Most of the things that are on the a la carte menu you can also get as a meal,” Comerford said. “The full meals all come with the main entree, plus rice pilaf, a salad and a roll. Sometimes people will add sauce to the rice, too.”

Other items include chicken souvlaki topped with lettuce, red onion and tzatziki sauce (made with a blend of yogurt and cucumbers) and wrapped in pita bread; beef and lamb gyros; and loukanikos (Greek sausages).

For desserts, there’s traditional baklava with a walnut and honey filling, plus other variations at this year’s festival like a hand-rolled tube-shaped baklava with chocolate, walnuts and sliced almonds; a baklava filled with pecans and even a baklava with chocolate chips and cherry halves on top. Other authentic Greek pastries include loukoumades (fried dough balls soaked in syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar) that are available in quantities of six, 12 or 20; galaktoboureko (a layer of phyllo dough with Greek custard); and cookies such as koulourakia (a butter-based cookie with a hint of vanilla), finikia (honey-dipped cookies with walnuts) and kourambiethes (butter cookies dusted with powdered sugar).

For non-Greek eaters, a small menu of items such as hamburgers, hot dogs, lemonade, cotton candy, ice cream and popcorn will also be offered. Much of the food is either made fresh on site that day or prepared within a few weeks of the festival, according to Comerford.

As with previous festivals, there will be an Aegean Market inside the church that will feature items like imported Greek olive oil, Glendi T-shirts, jewelry, wine and more for sale, plus specialty drinks like Greek coffee, beer and wine. Other happenings throughout the day include live music, a costumed dance troupe, face-painting and raffles for chances to win cash prizes and gift certificates.

Glendi When: Friday, Sept. 14, and Saturday, Sept. 15, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with food services ending at 9 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 16, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Where: St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral, 650 Hanover St., Manchester Cost: Free admission; food is priced per item Visit: stgeorgeglendi.com Free parking is available at Derryfield Park (Bridge Street) and at the McDonough Elementary School (550 Lowell St.), will shuttle services to the church that will be available throughout the day on Friday and Saturday.

according to Alex Pichardo.

Alex Pichardo said that while the food truck is maintaining an active schedule of public events, it can also be contacted to cater to private events such as weddings, reunions, birthday parties, cookouts and more whenever there is no other event booked. Deliveries can also be made within Manchester via Uber Eats.

As the season moves to the fall, the Pichardos are actively looking to do business at farmers markets, car dealerships and other local venues, while continuing to experiment with seasonal flavors like apple and pumpkin.

“We have some heaters that go on the side of the truck that will keep everybody warm, and we’re thinking of maybe adding some hot chocolate to the menu and just kind of catering to the seasons a little bit,” Marcie Pichardo said.

With several specialty grilled cheese addon options sure to make your mouth water — like pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, sloppy Joes or jalapenos — a new food truck recently launched in Manchester is proving that the traditional sandwich can be more than just melted cheese between toasted bread.

Prime Time Grilled Cheese is the project of Manchester couple Alex and Marcie Pichardo, who love making unique grilled cheese creations for their four young children. The truck officially hit the road earlier this summer and has public events booked every weekend through September and some into October.

“What we thought about with doing the grilled cheese [concept] was releasing everyone’s inner child again,” Alex Pichardo said.

“You know, we make grilled cheeses for the kids all the time, and I was thinking that we had never seen a grilled cheese food truck around here before.”

The pair purchased a used camper trailer that would become the food truck, and they’ve spent the past several months renovating it.

Prime Time Grilled Cheese features a variety of grilled cheese options using your choice of white or gluten-free bread, and cheeses that include cheddar, white and yellow American.

Sandwiches include the Prime Time Three Cheese (featuring a blend of cheddar, American and Monterey jack), plus the Spicy Jalapeno Macaroni & Cheese grilled cheese, the Cheesy Buffalo Chicken grilled cheese, the Barbecue Pulled Pork & Macaroni & Cheese grilled cheese, and the Super Sloppy Joe grilled cheese.

Non-grilled cheese options include sides of bagged potato chips, tomato soup and hot dogs. You can even get macaroni and cheese, pulled pork, Buffalo chicken, sloppy Joe or cheese as an add-on to a hot dog, Alex Pichardo said.

But the flavor experimentation doesn’t stop there. Other “dessert” items the Pichardos have introduced just within their last few events include the Grilled Fluffernutter (a grilled peanut butter and marshmallow Fluff sandwich), the Grilled S’mores (a grilled Fluff and Nutella sandwich) and a three-layered chocolate cream pie cup.

“It’s crumbled up Oreo cookies on the bottom, chocolate pudding and then whipped cream on the top. It’s delicious,” Marcie Pichardo said.

The Frito Pie (Sloppy Joe, cheddar cheese, sour cream and jalapenos mixed together in a bag of Fritos corn chips and then eaten straight out of the bag with a spoon) has become another recent hit with the food truck,

Jeannette Bryant of Nashua is the founder and CEO of Mola Foods (15 Tanguay Ave., No. 123, Nashua, 877-593-8157, molafoods.com), a company offering ethnic chili relishes and spices inspired by several African and Indian nations. Born and raised in Cameroon, Bryant came to the United States almost 20 years ago. Mola Foods — its name taken from the Cameroonian slang word meaning “friend,” according to Bryant — started when she began experimenting with a hot sauce recipe made from a Cameroonian ghost pepper. Since then, Bryant has created other spices and chili relishes she says are meant to embody the culture and taste of each nation inspired by them; there’s an Ethiopian-inspired spice blend, an Indian-inspired spice blend and a Moroccaninspired spice blend, plus chili relishes that include red, green, black and sweet orange. In addition to being available for online ordering, Mola Foods products can be found at the Amherst, Bedford and Milford farmers markets. On Friday, Sept. 28, from 6 to 8 p.m., Bryant will be joining forces with Caroline’s Fine Food (132 Bedford Center Road, Bedford) for a food and wine tasting featuring dishes using several of her products. The tasting is $40 per person. Call or visit the website to purchase tickets.

All menus can be served traditional sit-down or buffet style. See menu options on our website!

Tasty food from fresh ingredients

Cucumbers My family and I went away for five days and came back to an overgrown garden. It’s amazing how a late-season garden gets carried away while in June I am begging for just about anything to bust up through the ground. While we had a plethora of tomatoes and zucchini, what went the craziest were the cucumbers! Oh, my word. We have the fattest, biggest cukes ever, and I don’t even know how we’re going to eat them all.

Cucumbers are actually a part of the gourd family, which I didn’t know (thank you, Wikipedia). They’re mostly water and not a significant source of calories, protein or much else save a bit of vitamin K. They’re most frequently eaten raw or pickled. I just purchased a pickling kit online to help me use up these innumerable veggies of mine.

While I’m happy to throw cucumbers in salads or slice them with a little salt, I need-

With a little searching and some improvising, I decided to make some cucumber chips. I’ve had luck with my new mandoline and zucchini, so why not try cucumbers as well?

While these chips could have turned out better with a dehydrator, I was very pleased with the result from my oven — and I even took a shortcut. Many recipes I saw suggested baking the chips for three to four hours at 175 degrees. While I’m sure that would have worked well, having the oven on for that long on an 85-degree day wasn’t appealing. Plus, I was hungry! Enjoy my recipe and I wish you luck with any excess of vegetables thrown your way.

Salt and Vinegar Cucumber Chips 2 medium cucumbers, washed with ends cut off 4 tablespoons olive oil Salt, to taste 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar Preheat oven to 350. Using a mandoline, slice cucumbers thinly (I use the medium setting so they’re not translucent but also not too thick).

Arrange cucumber slices in a single layer on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Bake 13 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the slices. Watch carefully. I noticed the outside slices baked more quickly so I removed them to cool and placed the rest back in the oven. Slices should brown and, when cooler, become crispy. Enjoy!

If you were able to be at one of the Astral tastings recently held by New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlets, or you caught a commercial, and thought their brand ambassador looked familiar, you’d be right.

Jonathan Goldsmith is the former Most Interesting Man in the World from Dos Equis, now on a new path with Astral tequila.

I could not make the tastings while Goldsmith was here in New Hampshire last month but was lucky enough to catch up with him via phone the week of his trip. It’s not every day you speak with someone of this caliber on the phone, so I was really excited for this opportunity.

Goldsmith and I chatted briefly about his career and how he came to be the most interesting man. He had started on Broadway many years prior, spending more than 40 years in the business, and decided it was time to do something else. One thing led to another, and after having a business and traveling the world, he decided to go back to Hollywood. There were several rounds of auditions for the Dos Equis role, mainly because at first they seemed to be looking for someone else, someone younger and different from Goldsmith. He ended up landing the part, though, and he said he enjoyed making people smile.

While it was apparent Goldsmith enjoyed that role, that isn’t who he is now. He is now a brand ambassador for Astral tequila, starring in their commercials and noting, “This calls for tequila!” He said what really drew him to this next chapter was learning about the company and everything it stands for, including many environmental and community initiatives. He noted that the company gives back a percentage to environmental organizations.

“I found this incredible tequila. I love the product and what they stand for,” he said. “The product is wonderful, and totally organic.”

Astral was founded in 2005 by Richard Betts, master sommelier, and uses traditional methods, according to their website.

Betts spells out this four-step process in an informative video. The agave is organically grown on the mountainsides of Jalisco.

Shown in the video are plants that are four years old, but it actually takes eight to 10 years for the plants to fully mature.

Next, the agave is roasted in a volcanic stone oven to develop the character and flavor. From there, they “ferment on the solids,” according to Betts, which means keeping the agave that has been ground

down and fermenting it with native yeast.

According to the website, this process takes longer than other methods, but helps to really develop the character of the agave.

Lastly, it is twice distilled and bottled at 92 proof, higher than most tequilas, which are typically 80 proof.

“We capture the true historic spirit of what tequila once was,” Betts says in the video.

Astral has already earned awards and high marks from several critics, including the New York Times, Food & Wine Magazine, and Men’s Journal.

“It has such a wonderful taste. It is 92 proof, but it is more mellow. I love traveling around and introducing it to people,” Goldsmith said.

I asked him if he had always been a tequila drinker, and he admitted that he is more of a scotch and gin drinker, but that “once I got involved with this company, I started drinking tequila. This is all I drink now,” he said. “I am really quite hooked on it. It is such high quality that I don’t dilute it, either. But there are so many different ways that people can drink it.”

I recently purchased a bottle of Astral and was immediately drawn to the bottle, because I love the blue label. While I can’t drink tequila straight, I did enjoy it in both a margarita on the rocks with Fabrizia blood orange liqueur and in a frozen margarita made with Fat and Juicy mix. Both were very good and very smooth. Plus, the bottle was only about $35, and I know for me, I will get a lot of margaritas out of that.

It would be a very nice gift for a tequila enthusiast. It is available at New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlets. You can also learn more at astraltequila.com.

During the ’80s, anything that sounded like hair metal had a shot at glory. This fivesome was one of Sweden’s entries in the genre, which netted them a tour with WASP, appearances at festivals and so on. One hilarious thing about the new and improved Treat’s Wikipedia entry is that they blame their 1993 collapse on replacement singer Mats Levén (if the rise of hip-hop were to be blamed on one person, it wouldn’t be this guy, who in fact went on to front Candlemass and whatnot, and hair metal was certainly begging for extinction by 1993 anyway). Back in the day, these guys used as much hairspray as anyone else, which got them a big-league contract with Mercury Records, but it was hard to tell them from White Lion and all those other bands, so they broke up in ’93, then reformed 18 years later. Tunguska is their third full-length since the reformation, its centerpiece the single “Build the Love,” a Dokken-esque throwaway — matter of fact, this is mostly Dokken microwaving, up to and including the harder stuff (“Progenitors”). For what it is — pure 1980s metal — it’s fine, if lacking hooks. B- — Eric W. Saeger Haujobb, Alive (Metropolis Records)

A bit late on this one (it came out in April), but still timely. This German pan-techno duo has been at it for 25 years now; they’re one of the acts that the Metropolis indie label should be working to keep on board. The pair have mostly avoided the cookie-cutter Depeche Mode and jackboot-stomp of their labelmates, preferring instead to dabble in things like noise, idm, and electro; best of all, they have a knack for evoking the foggy weirdness of Gary Numan (if you’re a goth kid who owns no Gary Numan albums — especially the last two — you are, my friend, incomplete). They’ve also tried futurepop on for size, none of which I’m hearing on this one; it’s instead comprised of live versions of newer things like “Crossfire” (deconstructionist ambience for your Nosferatu club) and 2012’s “Let’s Drop Bombs” (a nick of Empires-era VNV Nation). Rendered nicely (like most plug and play DJ work), but the emotion does feel phoned-in. B — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • If you were visiting Los Angeles in July and happened to drop by the Amoeba Music store on Sunset Boulevard, and you’d been looking at the walls for obscure, cabalistic symbols, you might have deduced that Aphex Twin was releasing a new record, because someone put those symbols there (and on the walls of a couple of London subway stations) on purpose, to announce the new EP, titled Collapse, due out Sept. 14. Of course, the “someones” who put those symbols on the walls of these places were people who communicate with Aphex Twin (a.k.a. DJ Richard David James) via email, but for the sake of neo-viral-marketing we’ll pretend that people do read walls and then post about it on Reddit or whatever, and that regular people just aren’t cool enough to figure out things. Won’t you be glad when artists stop announcing upcoming releases by writing on subway walls? I know, you don’t care, nor does anyone else, but there is indeed a new Aphex Twin EP on the way. Where the heck were we again? Right, so James is weird and mysterious, and one of the new tracks here, called “T69 Collapse” is chill-dubstep ambience, full of light-speed amen breaks, nasty wub-wub and whatnot. What does this all mean? Well, remember the movie Hackers, starring people like Angelina Jolie, who couldn’t even spell “hack,” let alone actually do it? Yeah, it’s the soundtrack to that, but if it were much cooler.

• Speaking of cool techno stuff (well, we were, so don’t blame me), the two British brothers who comprise Orbital are dropping their first LP since 2012’s Wonky (reviewed in these pages back then) titled Monsters Exist! The single, “Tiny Foldable Cities” is a mid-tempo thing that starts off with some French café samples, then goes krautrock, then goes uninspiring-filler-stuff. But it’s cool.

• Hmph, I remember liking Scottish indie band We Were Promised Jetpacks, at least their first album, mainly because it didn’t make me think of Kaiser Chiefs. The new one is titled The More I Sleep The Less I Dream, releasing Sept. 14. “Hanging In” is a single from this rock ’n’ roll music album, and what it sounds like is a pensive pub-rock jam between Wire, Coldplay and Strokes. The good news there is that these guys still don’t sound like Kaiser Chiefs.

• Tiresome jangle-indie New Zealanders The Chills have a new album about to be thrust in everyone’s face, called Snow Bound.

If you thrilled to the twee-Pixies sound of songs like “Pink Frost,” today isn’t your day, because the new single, “Complex,” sounds like Flock of Seagulls. For reference, you often hear Flock of Seagulls at your dentist’s office, and you try to tune it out by reading Time magazines from three years ago.

• Arena-rock goddess Ann Wilson is or was in the band Heart, and she offers discerning art-wonks her new album, Immortal! I know what you’re thinking, will it sound like “Barracuda,” “What About Love,” or will she just do the 70-year-old rock star thing and do blues? Beep, wrong, the single “I Am the Highway” is a boring country ballad. Play again (Y/N)? — Eric W. Saeger

A day with words

NH Poetry Festival returns to new location

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Now in its fourth year, the New Hampshire Poetry Festival, happening Saturday, Sept. 15, has outgrown its original location at New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester and will now take place at New England College in Henniker, where it can accomodate more participants and more activities.

The day-long poetry conference will feature panels, workshops and readings by poets from New England and beyond.

“It was started as a way to increase the amount of poetry exposure in the state, and to give people who love poetry another outlet for that love,” festival director Jennifer Militello said.

There will be three panel sessions throughout the day, each with five panels to choose from. Panel topics will include “Collaboration and the Creative Process;” “Poetry and the Politics of Language;” “Motherhood in the Arts and the Public Sphere;” “Pronouns and their Lenses;” “The Modern Elegy and the Alternative Landscape of Grief;” “Bringing Who You Are to the Page” and more.

There will also be a series of generative workshops during which attendees will write their own poetry or do poetry exercises based on a prompt. Workshop topics will include “Doing Memory in the 21st Century,” which will explore ways of revitalizing or animating the contemporary memorydriven poem by formally containing it in civic or public forms; “How to Do Yoga with Words: the Energy of Syntax;” “Like, Poetry is Metaphor,” which will examine how poets have used metaphor to make the reader feel emotion; and “Who Are You Talking to?: Revising the ‘Busted’ Poem.”

“The workshops are a fun and exciting way for participants to take a more participatory role in the festival,” Militello said.

“They’re meant to be inspirational, to give people a new direction to go with their work that they might not have gone to on their own.”

All of the panels and workshops were developed and proposed by the poets and poetry experts presenting them.

“We usually get a huge number of proposals, not just from seasoned poets, but from an array of people who think they have a great idea to share with the poetry community,” Militello said. “We choose the [ideas] that are fresh and interesting, that create a sense of variety, and that we think will be of the most interest to the people attending.”

The festival will also feature a book fair,

in partnership with Gibson’s Bookstore of Concord, where books by the panel and workshop presenters will be for sale.

The day concludes with a wine reception, followed by a reading by this year’s headliner, Linda Pastan. Pastan has published 15 volumes of poetry, two of which were finalists for the National Book Award. She is a past poet laureate of Maryland and a recipient of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize Winner for Lifetime Achievement.

Militello said the festival welcomes people with all levels of experience with poetry, from high school students with a budding interest to seasoned and published poets.

“It’s geared toward a broader community,” she said. “Because part of the goal of the festival is to increase the interest of poetry in New Hampshire, we invite anyone who wants to spend the day listening to poetry, thinking about poetry and trying a little writing to come and take part.”

People come not only for the panels, workshops and readings, Militello said, but also for the chance to connect with others and form a community of poets and poetry lovers.

“In our state, there seems to be a distance between writers,” she said. “[The festival] is a terrific opportunity for them to gather and spend time together and celebrate their love [of poetry] for a whole day, in a warm and welcoming environment.”

New Hampshire Poetry Festival Where: New England College, 98 Bridge St., Henniker When: Saturday, Sept. 15, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Cost: $120 for general admission, $95 for Poetry Society of New Hampshire members and $55 for students. Register online

by Friday, Sept. 14.

Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win by Jo Piazza (Simon & Schuster, 310 pages) Warning – this review contains a spoiler of this book.

Mixed review on this one.

Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win

by Jo Piazza is a fairly enjoyable light summer read. It’s the story of a woman (wife, mom) who leaves her lucrative Silicon Valley job to run for a national Senate position against the incumbent (old, white man). To do this, she must relocate her family to her downtrodden home town in Pennsylvania.

It’s a far cry from their posh life in California.

The big question is why she would leave her comfortable life in California and move her husband Max and their three young children to compete in a campaign where everyone agrees she is the underdog.

The reason is women’s empowerment.

Charlotte’s company is pro-women and she inadvertently became an advocate for women’s rights.

The story accurately reflects the angst women (especially mothers with young children) have when they decide to run for public office. Family dinners are (literally) off the table, school events get missed, and her husband starts to resent being a “stay at home” dad. To overcome this, he wants to take on consulting jobs. He wants to have more worth than just being a dad.

But then who would watch the kids?

See? It’s not easy being a woman in politics. (Especially when you are told, like Charlotte was, that you must wear stockings while on TV – there aren’t too many men who need to follow that rule.)

There are good scenes with the campaign director and excellent behind-the-scenes information about what goes on during a campaign. For those of us who can’t get enough of politics these days, it’s an interesting read.

Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win is a nice story of good sort of triumphing over not-so-good. But it’s a better story when you see how it portrays women in a postTrump-win era. It seems like women have come out in high numbers to run for elected positions this year, making this book very topical.

You see, it’s what women do naturally.

We clean up messes.

The story tends to fall apart when it takes liberties in how Charlotte responds to the challenge of running for office. Using all the home-life clichés available, the author lets us know Charlotte feels angst, and we know that she’s stressed out (we can tell by the number of times she “drops the ball”

on her family life). We even know that her husband feels under-appreciated and left out of the big picture.

But you know what? All of that is forgivable, because Piazza also shows us how truly difficult it is for women to run for an elected position especially when they are running against a “good ol’ boy” who treats women like fragile, silly objects.

We also get to see how women can sometimes turn on other women. Which is all good storytelling.

The pacing in Charlotte Walsh was off.

Events don’t really grab until near the end of the book. That’s a long time to hold on to a story for a hopeful payoff at the end.

And there we have another problem. A big problem.

There is no ending to this book. It’s up to the reader to decide whether Charlotte wins or loses. I hated that. After spending a few hours investing in a character, I didn’t want to figure out the ending. I wanted to know what the author had in mind. In the Afterword, Piazza claims that she wrote six endings to this story and none of them were good enough. In that same Afterword, she reaches out to the readers to ask them what they think.

She actually wants her readers to send in endings for her book.

Too bad, she’ll get nothing from me. The author has broken her contract. You do your job of writing and storytelling and I’ll do mine of reading.

I don’t know, maybe the ending thing was supposed to be a hook for book clubs, but if it was I certainly hope that it doesn’t become a trend. Although I like stories and characters that continue after the final page is turned, I like it more when the final page ends the current story or adventure.

It would have been easy to end this book with Charlotte winning. After all, she’s the underdog and everyone likes a good underdog story. It would have been just as easy to have the incumbent win, mirroring an election where an unqualified man won for simply not being a woman.

But to not know? That’s nothing short of a cheap trick.

So while I think that there is potential in this book in that it touched on the struggle female candidates have and will always seem to have, I’m afraid that it won’t be one of my Top 10 books for the year.

I want to hear about women’s struggles, but I also want to hear how those struggles either crushed the main character or made her stronger.

Anything else is a cop-out. C — Wendy E. N. Thomas

A nun and a priest go check out some eeee-vil doings in rural Spookivania in the 1950s in The Nun, an OK offshoot of The Conjuring movies.

In 1950s Romania, Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet), a local audience surrogate, finds a young nun hanging dead out of a window of the creepy castle/abbey where he makes regular deliveries of plot contrivance. Somehow, the Vatican quickly finds out about this and sends Father Burke (Demián Bichir) to investigate her death. Burke brings along Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga, real-life younger sister of Vera, lead of the two Conjurings) because... I forget? Probably something to do with sequels?

They arrive in Romania and head to the castle, which has a history so spooky people surround it with crosses and spit when they mention it. Frenchie serves as Burke and Irene’s guide to the castle but leaves them there once it gets dark. He sees creepy stuff in the woods as he heads back to town and they see strangeness in the part of the castle where they stay the night. The next day, Irene meets with a few cagey nuns who hint that something evil walks among them, disguised as one of the habit-wearing sisters (sort of?

Like, in the least convincing “nun” disguise ever and I include in that novelty “sexy nun” Halloween costumes).

Burke and Irene work to (unnecessarily slowly) uncover who that ghostly nun is and what is the meaning of all the strange happenings at the abbey.

Remember the nun in The Conjuring 2?

Yeah, “sorta?” is also my answer to that question. Like, if you told me that there was a nun figure, I’d believe you but wouldn’t specifically remember what it did or really care about its purpose. And I say this having a generally good opinion of The Conjuring movies and their resulting, heavy sigh, cinematic universe. I didn’t get some kind of charge out of seeing Evil Nun’s origin story but nor did it offend me. The most annoying part of the prospect of all the spooky items kept in

The Nun

Ed Warren’s Creeptorium getting their own movie is that these movies most likely won’t involve Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, who are fun and have nice chemistry.

That element is slightly mitigated here

by Taissa Farmiga, who has a similar natural fit with the material to Vera’s. (Neither feels the need to scream it up or to be so earnest as to seem like a simpleton or to wink at the camera.) The resemblance between the real-life sisters does create a strange situation with the characters — I couldn’t stop trying to game how Sister Irene and Lorraine Warren are connected. Is Lorraine Irene decades later? Are they sisters? The movie’s use of Tassia without explanation (or at least explanation that I saw; I didn’t stay until the end of the credits because sorry, Conjuring universe, Marvel has called dibs on that gimmick and I can’t take another one of those) is a puzzle, seemingly unrelated to the actual movie, that your brain can’t stop trying to solve.

That aside, The Nun is, you know, fine.

It is OK, maybe even above average, inthe-moment mild entertainment that doesn’t really stick with you after the movie is over.

Peppermint (R)

A woman gets vengeance for her murdered family in Peppermint, a fairly terrible action movie that I hope is a springboard to better things for Jennifer Garner.

Riley North (Garner) is your average mom-type, struggling with bills and work-life balance and apparently living in a community with a weirdly intense amount of mom-onmom psychological warfare — a Mean Mom siphons away friends from Riley’s daughter Carly’s (Cailey Fleming) birthday party with a speed and precision that is completely alien to anything I’ve ever seen from actual parents.

ty and work it in to the family schedule and especially if you’ve bought a gift, your kid is going to that party whether they still like the birthday kid or not. Gift bags and Shopkins toys don’t buy themselves.) To save the night, Riley and her doofus husband Chris (Jeff Hephner) take Carly to a fair where they can happily do fun things that can be remembered later in slo-mo.

I say “doofus husband” because Chris thinks the solution to his financial problems is to join his even dumber friend in robbing a drug cartel. Sure, he backs out of this plan, but by that point the drug cartel types are already torturing Chris’s dumb friend and the die has been cast on Chris, lifespan-wise.

The kinda-racist-seeming drug cartel caricatures following the North family gun them down (at a really weird moment in the night; not so public as to be the big display the boss says he’s looking for but not so private that they don’t have potential witnesses), killing Chris and Carly instantly. Riley is shot in the head but wakes up after a month in a coma to find her family dead and the police on the verge of arresting the men who shot them. Though she easily picks them out of the world’s dodgiest lineups, corruption throughout the system (the implication is that the judge and the prosecutors have been bought off) leads to the men going free. Riley is nearly arrested for a courtroom outburst and then she vanishes.

Five years later, she resurfaces and starts killing people — the judge, the prosecutors, the gunmen. Clearly, though, she’s not stopping with just the immediate wrong-doers — and she starts gunning for cartel regional manager Diego Garcia (Juan Pablo Raba) and his whole criminal enterprise. Tracking her are LAPD detectives Stan Carmichael (John Gallagher Jr.) and Moises Beltran (John Ortiz) and FBI Agent Lisa Inman (Annie Ilonzeh).

I give Peppermint the benefit of the doubt that it’s not trying to do or say anything with its villain choices or its general portrayal of the justice system. I feel like laziness, evident in all facets of this movie, is a bigger factor than, say, racism or serious commen-

tary. I do think it’s sort of funny that neither the movie nor Riley cries over her very dumb husband who somehow thought robbing a violent drug gang was a nobody-will-everknow victimless crime. It is Riley’s daughter and Riley’s desire to avenge her that is shown as the motivator for everything she does.

“Bad guys killed her daughter” is more or less all the character development Riley gets.

More thought seems to have gone into the various stages of her hair — Jennifer-Garner-as-movie-mom standard to head-injury pixie (which, does that even make sense with her injury?) to something that feels a little more Alias. Actually, the real point to this whole movie seems to be “remember Alias?”

More than anything else, the thin and slop-

• The winner: Congratulations to singer-songwriter Katie Dobbins, named Best in State - New Hampshire at the recent New England Music Awards. Dobbins’ slice-oflife lyrics, sunny outlook and well-crafted storytelling are quite engaging. A line from one of her songs neatly sums it up — “This world needs more love,” she declares on on her latest album, She Is Free. Thursday, Sept. 13, 7 p.m., The Bookery, 844 Elm St., Manchester. To hear Dobbins, go to katiedobbinsmusic.com.

• Sweet music: A full day affair, Union Fest returns for its third year with a solid list of local talent, including Party of the Sun, Tara Greenblatt, Green Heron, Jon Pond, Amy Conley, Andrew & the Intervention and the playful Kukuleles.

Infectious pop rockers Best Not Broken close out the show at 9 p.m. The familyfriendly event has kids’ games and crafts.

Saturday, Sept. 15, at noon at Sammy’s Sugar Shack, North River Road, Milford.

Free, but donations are encouraged.

• Doing good: Launched to raise money and awareness to fight addiction and depression, All Night Thing last year paid tribute to Chris Cornell shortly after his death, with dozens of local musicians coming together to play his songs. This time, the event remembers other performers who similarly passed, like Kurt Cobain, Scott Weiland, Bradley Nowell and Chester Bennington. Saturday, Sept. 15, 6 p.m., Bernie’s Beach Bar, 73 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton. Tickets $20 at ticketweb.com.

• The voice: Oscar-winning singer Maureen McGovern performs an early week show in Nashua. “The Morning After,” her song from The Poseidon Adventure, was a smash in the early ‘70s, leading to a Grammy nod for Best New Artist. The movie launched large-scale disaster flicks as we know them. McGovern’s latest is You Raise Me Up – A Spiritual Journey. Monday, Sept. 17, 8 p.m., Nashua North High School, 8 Titan Way, Nashua. Tickets $10$25 at nashuacommunityconcerts.org.

Though he calls himself a “middle-class artist,” just the songs Rodney Crowell has lent to other performers make the claim ring hollow. Begin with “Bluebird Wine” in 1975; Emmylou Harris heard it and invited Crowell to join her band. Waylon Jennings did “Ain’t Living Long Like This” a couple of years later. In the late 1970s and early ’80s, Crystal Gayle, Oak Ridge Boys and Jimmy Buffett covered him — more recently, Keith Urban. Alan Jackson, Lee Ann Womack and Tim McGraw all had hits with Crowell’s tunes, too.

Bob Seger’s 1982 version of “Shame on the Moon” was the biggest smash of the bunch, spending four weeks near the top of the Billboard chart. In a recent phone interview, Crowell called it more than a cover.

“He literally made that song his, so much so that I never performed it again,” he said.

“I would never come up to the level of his performance.”

As for the ones Crowell does choose to play, they’ve done alright. 1988’s Diamonds & Dirt produced five straight No. 1 singles; “After All This Time” won a Grammy for Song of the Year.

Two songs from the follow-up LP, Keys to the Highway, also hit the top five. He’s a 2003 inductee into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame who’s also won an ACA and multiple Americana Music Awards, including Song of the Year in 2017 for “It Ain’t Over Yet.” For his latest album, Crowell revisited 11 old songs, and wrote a new one. Acoustic Classics contains stripped down takes of material dating back to his first LP. It kicks off with “Earthbound” from 2003’s Fate’s Right Hand, which contains a line that neatly sums up his current outlook. “Someday I’ll be leaving,” he sings while lamenting the aging process, “but I just can’t help believing that it’s not today.”

In some cases, lyrics are revised — “the only love I’ve ever known” is now “the only woman I ever cared for that much”

on “After All This Time.” When Crowell revisits Seger’s hit, all but the final verse is scrapped — and what’s left is spoken, but for the chorus. The song’s tone of bravado is replaced by self-examination, a grownup ruminating on reckless youth.

“There were cases where I didn’t do the best job I could do writing a song,” Crowell said. “That is the way I always felt about ‘Shame on the Moon,’ so I rewrote it. …

Just because it’s on a record doesn’t mean it’s over.”

Crowell used a famous story about another artist to make his point.

“Somebody went to the national museum in Spain, and noticed an artist tweaking a canvas that was hanging there. Someone said, ‘That’s Picasso, he’s just working on that thing.’ It was a painting that had been there for 15 years or so. … I’m not comparing myself to Picasso, but I am talking about the artist’s process.”

Looking back on that early period, Crowell feels his singing prowess kept him from becoming an arena-level star. On the other hand, he’s avoided the problem of being forced to do hits every time he plays; artistically, he’s always moving forward.

His output since 2001’s The Houston Kid — an autobiographical album that kickstarted him into becoming a writer with the publication of Chinaberry Sidewalks 10 years later — has been rich and varied.

His recorded output since then has outpaced his earlier work, and he’s achieved more recognition. With writer Mary Karr, he made Kin, and recruited several heavyweights including Lucinda Williams and his ex-guitarist Vince Gill to help out. A pair of duo albums with Emmylou Harris made the top 10, along with doing solid tour box office. Crowell never stops creating, and in a strange way, not becoming the next Eddie Rabbit in the ’80s has helped his cause.

“If I defined myself a little more as a vocalist, I would have had a different career,” he said. “The audience I have [is] quite happy with me to focus more on my recent work rather than dredging up the hits from the past. They seem grateful when I throw them out there in live shows, but for the most part ... they’re with me based on where I am right now. I always thought, for the last 20 years, if I couldn’t hold an audience’s attention with the work that I’m doing now, then I should step down. Which is another way of saying that I never wanted to be an oldies kind of act.”

SIGNS OF LIFE All quotes are from The Rambler and The Adventurer, by Samuel Johnson, born Sept.

18, 1709.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) How often we alter our minds, we do not always remark; because the change is sometimes made imperceptibly and gradually, and the last conviction effaces all memory of the former: yet every man, accustomed from time to time to take a survey of his own notions, will by a slight retrospection be able to discover, that his mind has suffered many revolutions; that the same things have in the several parts of his life been condemned and approved, pursued and shunned: and that on many occasions, even when his practice has been steady, his mind has been wavering, and he has persisted in a scheme of action, rather because he feared the censure of inconstancy, than because he was always pleased with his own choice. It’s OK to change your mind.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) When we have diligently laboured for any purpose, we are willing to believe that we have attained it, and, because we have already done much, too suddenly conclude that no more is to be done.

There’s more to be done.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) … we are often made unhappy, not by the presence of any real evil, but by the absence of some fictitious good … which neither reason nor fancy would have prompted us to wish, did we not see it in the possession of others. Reduce, reuse, rethink your comparisons.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) So much are the modes of excellence settled by time and place, that men may be heard boasting in one street of that which they would anxiously conceal in another. Inconsistent much?

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Such is the emptiness of human enjoyment, that we are always impatient of the present. Cultivate patience.

NITE SUDOKU

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) It may, I think, be justly observed, that few books disappoint their readers more than the narrations of travellers. No one wants to see your slide show either.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) He that is himself weary will soon weary the publick. A little time off can help a lot.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) It has been long observed, that drollery and ridicule is the most easy kind of wit: let it be added that contempt and arrogance is the easiest philosophy.

Ignore the insult comics.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Esteem and influence every man desires … and whoever has found the art of securing them without the help of money, ought, in reality, to be accounted rich.... You are esteemed by those you esteem.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) It very seldom happens to man that his business is his pleasure. What is done from necessity is so often to be done when against the present inclination, and so often fills the mind with anxiety, that an habitual dislike steals upon us…. This is the reason why almost every one wishes to quit his employment.... Your business just might align with your present inclination.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) By the constitution of ancient Egypt, the priesthood was continually increasing, till at length there was no people beside themselves; the establishment was then dissolved, and the number of priests was reduced and limited. Thus among us, writers will, perhaps, be multiplied, till no readers will be found, and then the ambition of writing must necessarily cease. You can be a writer and a reader.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Rude awakening

Former English soccer star Gary Mabbutt, 57, traveled to South Africa in July to visit his daughter, who works at Kruger National Park, but it wasn’t the exotic big game that left the most lasting impression on him. While he was sleeping, he later told the BBC, “... a rat has come into the bedroom, climbed into the bed and has decided to chew on my foot,” which Mabbutt couldn’t feel because he suffers from Type 1 diabetes and has little feeling in his foot. The rat “made quite a big hole in my toe, going down to the bone, and ate underneath my foot.” Mabbutt was finally alerted to the rodent’s presence when it bit his thumb and he saw his bloody foot. He flew back to the United Kingdom, where he underwent surgery and spent a week in the hospital. “All the opponents that I’ve played against,” he said, “and I finally get taken out by a rat.”

• The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in Maine is seeking state permission to construct a permanent memorial to the 4,500 or so lobsters that perished on Aug. 22 when a truck carrying them crashed in Brunswick. The monument, a 5-foot-tall granite tombstone, would “remind everyone that the best way to prevent such tragedies is to go vegan,” said Danielle Katz, director of PETA. The proposed wording for the stone is: “In memory of the lobsters who suffered and died at this spot August 2018, Try Vegan, PETA” and would include a graphic of a lobster.

Of course, Maine residents are possibly the least sympathetic about their crustacean counterparts: The Portland Press Herald reports that in 2017, 110 million pounds of lobster were harvested in the state.

• Along with a nail salon, a massage parlor and a dry cleaner, a mall in Toronto, Canada, is now the site of North America’s first sex doll brothel. Aura Dolls offers “an exciting new way” for patrons to achieve their desires “without the many restrictions and limitations that a real partner may come with,” says the company’s website.

Marketing director Claire Lee told City News on Aug. 27 that customers “come in, they have their own room ... a TV monitor that plays adult entertainment and a doll ... will be ready and waiting for you.” Lee also assures potential customers that the dolls will be cleaned after each customer using a three-step process. The company says it has had requests from women for male dolls and is considering adding them.

In the description, he promised to root for the team of the auction winner’s choosing and “burn no less than three articles of Knicks memorabilia.” Sure enough, he got a bite: James Riedel, 23, of Orange County, California, paid $3,500 for Perlmutter’s fandom on Aug. 24, converting Perlmutter into a Los Angeles Lakers fan. Perlmutter plans to attend a few Lakers games with Riedel and record his destruction of his Knicks gear for Riedel’s YouTube channel.

“It was just, just a total mess and I can only imagine what poor Jimbo saw in there,” Keller said. The sitter did admit that she Awwwwwww!
