GRANITE VIEWS FRED BRAMANTE

Spoiled with our sports A couple of years ago, during one of our sports championship parades, there was a young guy wearing a T-shirt that said, “I’m only 19 and I’ve already been to 11 parades.” Well, that guy is now a couple years older and has been to even more parades. We are so spoiled and, cross our fingers, it may be about to get better.

In the history of American sports there has been only one region with only four teams that has won three out of the four major sports championships within a year. That was Detroit in 1935 with the Lions (football), Red Wings (hockey) and Tigers (baseball) winning their respective championships.

New York did it in 1969-70, including the Jets’ stunning upset win with the upstart American Football League team defeating the National Football League champion. The Jets’ brash young quarterback, nicknamed “Broadway Joe” Namath, led the Jets over Johnny Unitas and the Baltimore Colts 16-7. Prior to the game, Namath “guaranteed” that the Jets, a huge underdog, would win Super Bowl III. In Super Bowls I and II, the NFL teams crushed their AFL challengers. The Jets’ victory would open the door to a merging of the leagues. The Mets and the Knicks also won championships, but New York had seven teams at the time, making it far easier for them to accomplish than the rest of the cities.

If the Bruins win the Stanley Cup, New England will be the first to do it in over 80 years and only the second region to accomplish this ever! The Red Sox won the World Series last year in October and the Patriots won the Super Bowl this year in February.

New England ranks second behind New York City in the number of sports championships. The reason that New York is first is that the Yankees had more money than everybody else and bought the best players.

Remember, they bought Babe Ruth from the Red Sox (1919), which started the Yankees’ dominance. They’ve won the World Series 27 times.

Today sports championships are harder to dominate because leagues have sought to structure player compensation schedules in such a way as to create parity in order that all teams believe that they have a chance to compete for titles.

New England can be proud that we’ve won our championships the right way, with better players, coaches, front offices and fans. Yes, we’re spoiled, but go Bruins!

NEWS & NOTES Veto killed

The New Hampshire State Senate and House have both voted to override Gov. Chris Sununu’s veto against HB 455, the bill to end the death penalty, according to the governor’s office. The Senate voted 16-8, the minimum approval needed to override. The bill received bipartisan support when originally passed, with the House voting 279-88 on March 3, and the Senate approving it 17-6 on April 11. Sununu vetoed the measure May 3.

The State of New Hampshire filed two lawsuits against com-

panies it alleges contaminated the drinking and groundwater systems in the state through the introduction of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, according to a news release from the governor’s office.

The suits were filed May 29 against 3M, DuPont and the Chemours Co. as well as Chemguard Inc., Tyco Fire Products LP, Buckeye Fire Equipment Co., Kidde-Fenwal Inc., and National Foam Inc., according to the release. 3M, DuPont and the Chemours Co. were named in both lawsuits. “The objective ... is simple: to hold these defendants accountable for their

3M acted responsibly in connection with products containing PFAS and will vigorously defend its environmental stewardship.”

Police on the beat

The Manchester Police Department is assigning three officers to community policing for the summer, a spokesperson for the department said. That means the officers will be on foot patrol in pairs during the day, focusing on downtown. The police say the goal for this move is to make the streets safer while also improving the rapport with business owners and others in the community.

The New Hampshire Lottery Commission can sell Powerball and Mega Millions tickets online and run its iLottery Games thanks to a ruling from the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire on June 3, according to a press release from Gov. Sununu’s office and a report in the Union Leader. The state had argued against a 2018 opinion from the US Department of Justice that said the Wire Act made all forms of online gambling illegal, according to the release and several media reports. In the decision, the Court said the Wire Act applies only to transmissions related to bets or wagers on a sporting event or contest, the release said.

The bridge over the Merrimack River that carries I-293 South and NH 101 East was already partially closed for construction when a crash on May 28 damaged a side rail, according to a news release from the state Department of Transportation. That resulted in the immediate closure of a southbound lane, leaving only one available. The on-ramp to the bridge from the northbound Everett Turnpike was also closed. Heavy traffic delays were visible on the bridge the following morning. Closures on Lawes Avenue and Derry Street in Bedford are taking longer than expected, the Bedford Patch reports, because installation of drainage structures is still ongoing on Donald Street, according to the town manager’s report to the Town Council.

In an attempt to encourage young people to consider farming as a career, the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Hampshire is testing out a program called CRAFT — Collaborative Regional Alliances for Farmer Training — that invites anyone from the public to tour a farm and learn best practices and resources from experienced growers.

“What we are really trying to do with this is to connect young farmers or young people who are interested in farming with established farmers to help them build contacts and learn about farming, and help them get into farming,” said Karl Johnson, vice president of NOFA-NH’s board of directors.

The program involves three farms in Merrimack County; the first tour took place on June 1 at Brookfield Farm in Canterbury. The next one will be at the Work Song Farm in Hopkinton on Aug. 3, and the final one is scheduled for Oct. 5 at the Kearsarge Gore Farm in Warner.

“One of the problems we are finding is that while the U.S. market for organic foods is growing, and it is growing significantly, there is kind of a shift in farm labor,” Johnson said. “At least on small farms, the laborers are getting older and older, and there’s not a lot of young people coming in to this. So what we’re trying to do is encourage young people who are interested in farming … to reach out to older farmers and get them together and just try to help them get into farming.”

Currently, the average U.S. farmer is around age 55 (according to the U.S. Department of Labor), or age 58 (according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture).

Johnson says farmers need all the help they can get.

“Small farmers are really getting the squeeze both from competition from these large megafarms and from all the things that farmers struggle with, weather and so forth,” he said.

According to the 2017 USDA Census of Agriculture, Merrimack County that year had 545 farms, and had lost nine percent of its farms and 16 percent of its acreage between 2012 and 2017. Hillsborough County, with 605 farms in 2017, had lost 12 percent of its farms and seven percent of its acreage since 2012.

The New Hampshire Farm Bureau offers its members a New Farmer Toolkit, designed to help overcome the inertia of starting a new farm, or taking over a family farm for the first time.

“It’s a compilation, sort of a step-by-step guide, to a lot of the things you might not even think of when you start farming,” said John Marshall, the organization’s communications director. “Probably the first thing you are thinking of when you start farming is, what am I going to grow and how am I going to grow

Among local farmers getting attention recently is the Robertson family of Hopkinton, members of the NH Farm bureau, recently featured in the History channel program The American Farm. According to the History Channel’s description, “Brothers Si, Nate, and Bram are the rambunctious, hard-headed brothers leading the family dairy farm into the future.” Courtesy photo.

it? Well, this goes over business plans and how do you get capital, and who in New Hampshire you can talk to to find land or to find some investors and [things] like that.… We’ve gotten some really great feedback from that.”

NHFB has committees and subgroups that often meet monthly, such as the Associated Women of New Hampshire Farm Bureau, and the Young Farmers Committee that reaches out on social media to promote activities such as its current 10-Gallon Milk Challenge. June is National Dairy Month, and last year the Young Farmers decided to help local food banks with donations of purchased milk — a staple that food banks want to offer in a world of canned goods, Marshall said. The food banks were grateful, so the 10-Gallon Milk Challenge is on again this year. The Young Farmers say they plan to donate 10 gallons of milk to three different locations per county, a total of 300 gallons. (Participants help out by buying milk in a store and donating it directly to a local organization, according to the group.)

Another resource for young farmers is the Cooperative Extension’s local 4-H office. It holds a Teen Conference each year, for which the mandatory orientation session is coming up on June 11. Although the application deadline was April 15, you may still be able to register, according to coordinator Laurie Field.

NHFB offers its members a regular e-newsletter that attempts to be a clearinghouse for these kinds of opportunities and events.

“It compiles all the educational events that different groups are doing across the state.

For our members who are actively farming … having a one-stop shop to see this stuff is super important,” said Johnson.

University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension will be doing something similar in the fall, running an “Ag Express” tour in Merrimack County to visit Marshall Pumpkin Farm, Contoocook Creamery at Bohanan Farm, Rossview Farm and the Yankee Farmer’s Market. (This had been originally scheduled for June 8, but online registration information says it has been rescheduled to a fall date TBA.)

NEWS & NOTES Q&A

On location

A sci-fi movie films in Concord First Signal, an independent science fiction film, is currently in production, and several scenes have already been shot at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord.

The film’s writer and director, Mark Lund, talks about making a movie in the Granite State.

Briefly describe the plotline of the film.

When Air Force Space Command discovers an alien signal in earth orbit, an emergency meeting with the president reveals a government conspiracy.

The film takes place in the year 2014 at the G7 summit in Brussels, Belgium. And the president is asked to attend the meeting of General John Reiger, who is the head of Air Force Space Command, where he reveals to her that they have discovered an alien satellite at Lagrange Point 2. … They are feeling certain that there is an alien presence here on Earth. … A conspiracy is revealed that the president had actually known about this since she came to office.

I notice that you’ve set the events in the film five years in the past rather than in the future. Is this tied to any kind of nonfictional event?

Yes, it is tied to some nonfictional events, and that’s what I do in my stories. I try to build some nonfictional events into a fictional area. … In this one … the president has arrived at the G7 summit in Brussels, Belgium. ... It also reflects on the Apollo space program, and certain [real life] events that have happened in the space program. I also talk about satellites that will be launched in the future, [like] the James Webb Telescope. ... In the year 2014, of course, was the New Horizons satellite that was going off toward Pluto. It wasn’t there yet, and so that was another something that was referenced. And of course, we know the satellite made it to Pluto and took some pictures. So I always try to incorporate some real-life story or fact into a fictional film, which I think gives it a little bit more of a foundation.

You’ve done some shooting at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center here in New Hampshire. How has that been going?

It’s been going very, very well. I can’t say enough great things about them. I, for lack of a better [word], discovered them during just a Google search looking for locations and places. I went up there strictly as a visitor and just looked around and went, “Wow, this is just a perfect location,” and it’s got that [Redstone] rocket outside there, and then you’ve got these wonderful exhibits that talk about space sciences and science in general. I got to talking to some of the educators there and they have loved the project since Day 1.

expansive field, if you will, where at the end of the film, two of the main characters go, and they have this rather involved conversation. My good friend Adam Starr, who lives in New Hampshire, does all the special effects work, Actors in the film First Signal stand in locations at the McAu- so he is building liffe-Shepard Discovery Center in a spaceship [that Concord used for filming. will be] arriving and landing in the field. … We do have a place in Massachusetts we could use, but I’m much more keen on looking at a place in New Hampshire, because a lot of our crew members are from the Concord area now, and a good number of our actors are from the state, so it would be ideal if we could find a suitable location [here].

A lot of states compete to be film locations. How [is] New Hampshire as a place to shoot?

I tell you, I love it. This has been my second time filming in New Hampshire. My first film that I worked on in New Hampshire was called Justice Is Mine. It came out in 2013. … I love filming in New Hampshire. I find it very easy to work with.

Have you used or hired any actors here?

Absolutely. The co-star of the film, a producer friend of mine, her name is Patience McStravick, she’s from just outside Nashua. … A variety of crew members we’ve brought on from the Concord area.

Are you based out of California at all? Are you attached to a studio?

I lived in California [for] a few years … [before] I moved back to Massachusetts. ... I went out to the American Film Market this past November to present this project.

The American Film Market is a great place to showcase independent film, whether it is at the idea stage or completed, looking for distribution. I secured about three or four very interested parties [that] are ... interested in the project from a variety of points of view, whether its full-on distribution, or video-on-demand … so I am going back out there with the project in November. The film Are there any other locations in New will be done [shooting] by then, and well along into editing, so I’ll have a good amount Hampshire you are using or considering?

We are filming most of the film in New of film to show from that.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Falcons fly

With Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig helping out, officials from NH Audubon applied bands to the legs of four peregrine falcon chicks, also known as eyasses, reported the Manchester Ink Link. NH Audubon does this each year to identify the birds after they have fledged and left the area. A green-and-black band on the left leg is for photo identifications when the birds are found in the wild. A silver band on the right leg comes with a serial number issued by U.S. Federal Fish and Wildlife Service.

This was the 19th time the banding ritual took place downtown.

I get my share of blowback when this column wanders from time to time outside of being just about sports. That’s especially true when it touches on politics.

But since those subjects intersect as often as they do, sometimes it’s hard to avoid. Like the president twitterizing Dave Roberts for yanking “a dominating” Rich Hill with a 4-0 lead in Game 4 of last year’s World Series.

Not a big deal, but it’s fun when the president is a sports fan. Plus it was noteworthy since for once I actually thought he was right about something. Then there’s the Red Sox White House visit controversy, the NFL national anthem protests and last week when a Fresno, California, minor-league baseball team mixed congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with images of dictators as a voice-over from Ronald Reagan’s first inaugural address spoke of standing up to those threatening freedom in a video scoreboard salute to military sacrifice on Memorial Day. The usual “we didn’t know” lame explanation followed when the blowback got too hot. Hey, I think she’s a little too bossy myself, but given all the crazies we’ve seen recently with violence on their mind, does a baseball team need to put a young women closer to harm’s way with such adolescent nonsense? Really?

Some don’t like when I wander because sports is their escape. I get that. Others just can’t stand anything running counter to their interests. Those people often throw out political labels and nasty invectives, which is a sign of these insane times. But who says columns have to be about just one thing? Not me. Besides, there’s a simple remedy. If you want to see me criticize the Red Sox, lackadaisical play since spring training, give it the first paragraph and move on. But if you’re interested in a wider conversation using sports as a metaphor, exploring its role in pop culture or how it fits into a larger, more

important story – read on, because today is one of those days.

Today (June 6) is the 75th anniversary of a story that speaks to what really makes America great. It is about staring down overwhelming odds, and the administrative brilliance to direct an invasion of 5,000 ships, 11,000 air cover sorties and landing 50,000 vehicles on the beaches for transport.

Not to mention gasoline for those vehicles, medical supplies for the wounded and dying, ammunition for the fight and food to sustain all on their push into France. Finally, it’s about the greatness of our military and incredible bravery of American soldiers.

June 6, 1944, is the day the doors of 4,000 landing crafts dropped open off beaches of Normandy in France to face relentless German machine gun fire as they waded to shore.

If you can’t fully imagine that, watch the first 25 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan. It is beyond belief. Nearly 75,000 Americans were among the 200,000 Allied soldiers who knew they were walking into a slaughter, which would kill over 4,000. But they still did it, which is incredible.

As the news drifted to the home front, life for anxious families went on in ways that passed for normal with a world at war. Sports was no different. Commissioner Landis offered to shut down the game at the war’s outset, but FDR argued baseball was vital to the war effort and the country’s morale. But the talent pool was so depleted a one-armed ballplayer named Pete Grey eventually played 75 games for the St. Louis Browns in 1945.

All ballparks were closed out of respect for the D-Day effort underway. But they were back at it the next day, when the Yanks and Red Sox opened weird four game series at Fenway Park starting on Wednesday and ending with a Sunday doubleheader. The nightcap took one hour and 40 minutes.

That’s about as long as the final two innings of a typical Yankee-Red Sox game these days.

The St. Louis Browns were in first place on

D-Day before eventually facing the neighboring Cardinals in the World Series. In his final year before going to war in 1945, the great Stan Musial hit .347 for the Cards. The most recognizable Brown was 23-year-old shortstop Verne Stephens, who was traded to the Sox in 1948. He then put up three straight mammoth homer/RBI seasons of 29-137, 39-159 and 30-144. The 159 tied with Ted Williams for the RBI crown during the fantastic season of 1949. While renowned for his wartime service, Williams didn’t see any action in WWII. His heavy fire combat service came in Korea as wing man to John Glenn, later the first person to orbit the Earth, as a Mercury astronaut in 1962.

There weren’t a lot of famous sports names in the D-Day invasion. It was filled with young men who hadn’t yet made their mark. One was a 19-year-old named Lawrence Peter Berra, who was on a naval support craft firing rockets at the Germans on Omaha Beach. Baseball history would’ve dramatically been altered if he hadn’t made it back, as without the game’s greatest winner (10 World Series wins) and three-time MVP, no way the Yankees win every year between 1949 and 1953. But, as we came to hear from him later, it ain’t over till it’s over, and thankfully it wasn’t for Yogi Berra until 71 years later in 2015.

I stumbled on this topic doing a little research in advance of the Women’s World Cup. My interest was personal, as my niece Allie Long will be playing for the U.S. national team in the WC that begins in long ago liberated France tomorrow. It’s the coolest thing anyone in my family has ever done, and along with my father and uncles being in the service on D-Day the most noteworthy.

Beyond that, seeing the world go there exactly 75 years after the heroic liberation began is an intersection of sport and history that seemed a worthy topic to talk about today.

ARTS In-house art

Art show and sale features Manchester teachers

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

A Manchester art teacher has created a new opportunity for herself and other teachers to show and sell their art.

On Saturday, June 8, Claire Provencher will host an art show and sale at her home, located at the corner of Oak and Orange streets in Manchester, two blocks from the Currier Museum of Art, featuring seven Manchester teachers and two additional local artists.

The show will be held in conjunction with the yearly antiques sale hosted by Provencher’s neighbor Kim Hughes, an antique collector and special education teacher at McLaughlin Middle School. The group has shown and sold their art together before at an art show and sale hosted by Corey Doherty, an art teacher at Central High School and one of the featured artists, at her home every December for the last 13 years. That’s where Provencher got the idea to host her own art sale.

“I thought it’d be good to have something halfway [into the year] before the December show at Corey’s,” she said. “The artists are excited about that.”

Holding the art sale on the same day as Hughes’ antique sale was a no-brainer, Provencher said.

“I thought they would go well together, because a lot of people who like art and crafts also like antiques,” she said.

Linda Seabury art. Courtesy photo.

The art sale will be set up inside four rooms in Provencher’s house, and each artist will have a table, “similar to an indoor craft fair,” she said.

The featured artists will include Provencher of McDonough Elementary School, who does ceramic art; Doherty, who does dyed silk; Lori Sweeney of Memorial High School, who creates felted animals and block prints; Jane Tentas of Memorial High School, who makes block prints; Trish Ellis of Central High School, who does photography; Linda Seabury of Central High School, who makes soft sculpture figures; Marcia Fanaras Zito of Central High School, who is a Thirty One consultant;

Trina Wicks, a Merrimack art teacher who makes beaded jewelry; Amanda Heisy, a silversmith and former student of Doherty’s; and Karen Mallett, Doherty’s neighbor and owner of the Manchester Flower Studio.

Provencher does her ceramic work by hand, including bowls, mugs, trays and platters, pendants and sculptures, with a focus on texture.

“I use nature to create textures,” she said.

“I’ll press plant leaves or coral into the clay.

I’ve made a series of bowls using the giant hosta leaves from our yard, which I’m going to have [at the sale], as well as some bowls I made with sea grape leaves that I brought back from Jamaica.”

Doherty uses a Japanese method of silk painting to create silk scarves, ties, sarongs and other wearable art with her own unique designs.

“I do a big variety of colors and designs, and I try to not ever do anything the same,” she said. “Every single one I do is different, and people really seem to like that.”

Finding time to do and show art while teaching full-time can be a challenge, Provencher said, and many people don’t realize that art teachers are also artists in their personal lives.

“There’s a reason we teach art; we were artists first,” she said. “I think [the sale] is definitely a good way to show the community that there is a wealth of talent [among the people] working with our kids in our city.”

Doherty is currently working on a plan to open an artists co-op and storefront in downtown Manchester where the teachers and other local artists can sell their art.

“There are so many great things in downtown, but it’s missing an art store,” she said.

“My vision is to start an art store that sells local artists’ work and is run by the artists themselves.”

First makerspace fair held in Nashua

Nashua area and what kinds of things can be done there,” Sullivan said.

Exhibitions, demonstrations and activities will feature things like 3-D modeling and printing, flight, designing for laser cutting, vinyl cutting, wood turning, a pottery wheel,

liquid nitrogen ice cream, button-making and more.

The Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race will be there to do a demonstration with “The Lobster Roll,” the famed sculpture that made it to the 50th Kinetic Grand Championship in California. (Kinetic sculptures are “all-terrain, human-powered, art sculptures made from repurposed materials and engineered to race over road, water, mud and sand,” according to the LKSR website.)

There will also be a number of robotics demonstrations featuring a solar-powered gardening robot that will “run around the garden and dig up weeds and keep plants growing,” Sullivan said; a robot modeled after R2-D2 from Star Wars; and robots built by the FIRST Robotics team from Nashua.

The Nashua Robot Builders, a club that meets monthly at MakeIt Labs, will showcase their robots and host a Sumo Robot Competition with robot builders from other makerspaces.

“Small, programmed robots, about the size of a Roomba, that people have built will compete in a sumo ring that is three feet in diameter,” club organizer Jay Francis said.

If you’re curious about what goes on at makerspaces, you won’t want to miss MakeIt Fest, happening Saturday, June 8, at MakeIt Labs in Nashua. The inaugural event is an outdoor fair where makers, artists and craftsmen from local makerspaces will share their creations with the public.

MakeIt Fest coordinator Michael Sullivan says the theme for the fair is “Discover Your Makerspace.”

“We figured this year it would be nice to branch out and promote the making community to the public,” he said. “Let them see all the things that go on [at a makerspace] and meet the makers and see the things that [the makers] have made.”

Four makerspaces will be represented in addition to MakeIt Labs: Lowell Makes, Manchester Makerspace, Make It So: The Monadnock Makerspace, and The Claremont MakerSpace.

“It’s gathering the spaces together to give people a chance to meet makers from all over and to see some of the different makerspaces that are within a short drive of the 29 Kiddie pool Family activities this week.

er out of the ring. It’s like robot wrestling.”

MakeIt Fest gives club members an opportunity to show off their robots, Francis said, and gives the public an opportunity to learn more about robotics and see what local robot builders are working on.

“We love sharing our knowledge and telling people about how we do stuff,” he said.

“It’s a great way for anyone who has any interest in building things to chat with folks who share their interests, and to learn about how they can get involved.”

Finally, there will be guided tours of MakeIt Labs throughout the day so that visitors and people who are considering joining a makerspace can see where the makers work “We’re trying to bring [people] right into the maker environment,” Sullivan said. “Hopefully it will be compelling, and they’ll see why it would be fun to join a makerspace.”

Damaged rhododendrons Why they never recovered this spring

By Henry Homeyer

listings@hippopress.com

127149

HIPPO | JUNE 6 - 12, 2019 | PAGE 30

Rhododendrons throughout New England are looking awful! It is common for “rhodies” to get shriveled leaves during the winter, but they normally recover in spring.

Those shriveled leaves occur when warm winter days allow moisture to be given off when the ground is frozen solid — and thus unable to re-hydrate the leaves. Normally they look good again as soon as the ground thaws.

I’ve been getting emails from readers asking what happened this year, so I called an expert to learn more. Dr. Cheryl Smith is a plant pathologist at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.

Smith said that the winter damage this year was the worst she had seen in decades.

Not only were rhododendrons damaged, she said, but also cherries, plums, Christmas trees, boxwoods, junipers, spruce, raspberries and blueberries. Yikes.

First, the good news: The damage you are seeing is not due to a pathogen. This is not a disease that is damaging your plants. And most plants will recover fully, given time.

But you must have patience. Please don’t get out the chainsaw and cut away everything that’s looking bad.

Most of the damage is due to fluctuating temperatures, Smith said. Usually in the fall evergreen trees like rhododendrons harden off their leaves as the temperatures slowly descend. This past fall was a warm one, with temperatures in the 60s in December, followed by low temperatures in January. Then in February the temperatures again went into the 60s for a day or two, sending signals to plants that spring was on the way. But then it dropped below zero within a week.

Throughout the winter there were high winds, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. But the ground was frozen and during the thaw cycles plants could not take up water to replace that lost due to respiration.

So what should you do now? You can test any given twig by scratching it with your thumbnail. If you see green, the branch is still alive. If a branch is brittle and brown, and shows no green when you scratch it, the branch is dead and should be removed.

Branches with brown leaves will eventually send out new leaves.

I recently visited a site where I had overseen the installation of some rhododendrons last fall. Some looked much worse than others, even though they are growing in close proximity.

I wanted the plants to look better, so I removed dead leaves, or leaves that were mostly brown. Some came off with a gentle tug, others needed a snip from my pruners.

Obviously I wouldn’t do that if the shrub was 20 years old, huge, and badly damaged, as it would take too long. Mother Nature will eventually replace the leaves.

Many, perhaps most, of the flower buds on those rhodies were damaged and will not bloom this year. On the other hand, some rhododendron varieties are tougher than others. The most common rhododendron variety, the PJM, is tough as nails.

The PJM is a pink-purple color and is planted everywhere. It was developed at Weston Nurseries by Edmond Mezitt, and named after his father Peter J. Mezitt when it first bloomed in 1945. Apparently nurseryman Peter Mezitt gave $50 to some friends traveling in China in 1939 to collect some nice seedlings for him.

Edmond collected pollen on a paint brush from one very nice rhododendron of a species known as Rhododendron dauricum, and used it to pollinate a Rhododendron carolinianum, which they were using as seed stock.

He saved seeds, and planted them. The first hybrid cross bloomed beautifully when it was just 6 or 8 inches tall, and it was evident right away that this hybrid was special.

The parent plants of the PJM are still alive and well in front of the offices of Weston Nursery, and Wayne Mezitt (of the third generation of Mezitts in the nursery business) showed them to me when I visited Weston Nurseries some years ago.

The “mother’ plant of the PJM is a cultivar known as Olga, named after his grandmother.

Wayne gave me an Olga about 15 years ago, it has done well, and it showed no damage this winter. It is currently finishing its bloom cycle. It is much pinker than the PJM. Gardening is the slowest of the performing arts. You plant a seed or a seedling and wait to see how it performs. Wayne Mezitt told me that you can hybridize thousands of plants and grow them out before you get something special. I guess that’s why I don’t have any plants named after me!

Dear Cindy, Wow, I wish you had the whole clock too!

How did this pendulum make it and the clock be gone? I would love to hear that story.

Your pendulum is from a French clock.

It’s actually called a wag-on-the-wall clock.

This means that the pendulum and weights are exposed and open to see. If you had the entire piece it would run in the range of $500+ depending on who made it and condition. The age is middle to late 1800s. There are plain and simple wag-on-the-wall clocks and then very fancy ones as well. All is relevant when determining values. But to figure out a value just for the pendulum is tough because would someone buy it for another clock? Or just for decorative reasons? I

would say your easiest market would be the decorative one.

It makes a statement in a room to me.

So now that we figured out a market, I would say the pendulum would be in the $200 range. I don’t think they are too common, which could make it very desirable.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Toyota Camry seems to swallow driver’s credit card

Dear Car Talk: I own a 2016 Toyota Camry. Yesterday, on my way to the gas station, I pulled out my credit card and set it on the center console. When I pulled up

By Ray Magliozzi to the pump, I reached for my card, and it dropped down between the seat and the console.

I squeezed my hand into the space and was able to push the card forward enough to grab it. Ever the klutz, when I went to grab it, I pushed it back instead.

When I tried to grab it again, I couldn’t locate it. I got out and looked everywhere around the seat. I was on my hands and knees looking from the front and the back of the seat. I searched from every angle.

The card was gone.

It was like the car opened up and swallowed it! How is that possible? My car is uncluttered; it is easy to see something out of place. Where is it? — Donna

I don’t know. But when you find it, I bet you’ll also find a bunch of single socks.

I think we’ve all done what you did, Donna. A credit card, a key, a phone

drops between the seat and center console. And as you reach your two fingers in there to feel for it, you push it further into the abyss.

My guess is that your credit card slipped under the carpet. There are cuts in the carpet at the four points where the seat is bolted to the floor. Try moving the seat all the way back. Then, from the floor of the front seat, feel around for where the seat is bolted in. You should be able to find an opening in the carpet there. If there’s no sign of the card, move the seat all the way forward and try from the back seat.

If that fails, and you’re really attached to this particular card (maybe you spent months memorizing the three digit security code), your mechanic can definitely find it.

The first thing we’d do at our shop is we’d blow compressed air under the seat.

We have a nozzle on our air hose that can blow about 150 psi of wind under there.

That’s a category 4 hurricane. If something is there, it’ll usually come out. If it doesn’t, your mechanic can always unbolt the seat. That’s not a big deal. It’s a half-hour job.

On the other hand, calling your credit card company and asking them to send

you a replacement card is a five-minute job.

Dear Car Talk: I have a 2001 Ford Expedition 5.4-liter V8. I’m having an odd problem: This week marks the third time that a spark plug has been ejected from my engine.

The first time this happened, my mechanic said he “tapped” it. The second time, he assured me that it would never happen again.

I’m not sure if it’s the same cylinder, but it just happened for the third time.

Do you know what is causing this?

Thanks. — Frank

This is a well-known problem in this engine, Frank.

Apparently, the aluminum cylinder head doesn’t have sufficient threads to keep the spark plugs in place. Those spark plugs are under tremendous pressure from the explosions inside the cylinders. Once they start to get loose, it’s just a matter of time before they take off like a North Korean rocket.

The solution is what your mechanic did. You “tap” a new spark plug hole.

There’s a kit we buy that comes with an insert. It’s a sleeve that’s slightly bigger

than the existing spark plug hole and has threads on the outside and the inside. We drill out the new hole, which is a little bigger than the old one. Then, we screw this sleeve in there and epoxy it in place.

The spark plug threads inside that new sleeve.

They work. Your mechanic is right that the insert should not fail again. So, I’m guessing you’ve had three different plugs blow out. The good news is you only have five more inserts to pay for!

The bad news is that because each spark plug in this engine has a coil built on top of it, and that coil gets ruined when the spark plug blows out, each insert is going to cost you about $400 a pop.

You can do them prophylactically and replace them all now, so you won’t have a problem again. But since this truck is going on 20 years old, you might want to take it a plug at a time. Who knows what else might go in the truck before you get through five more inserts.

You might even be able to delay future problems by checking and tightening your plugs on a regular basis. Like once a week. Or twice an hour. Good luck, Frank.

The oldest soft drink continually produced and bottled in the United States, Moxie was originally conceived as a patent medicine in the late 19th century — and today, nearly all of the world’s Moxie is bottled or canned right here in New Hampshire.

You can learn more about Moxie and its history at the Millyard Museum in Manchester on Saturday, June 8, during a presentation of the newly released book Moxie. Written by co-authors Dennis Sasseville of Bedford and Merrill Lewis of Manchester, who are both members of the New England Moxie Congress, the book is an illustrated history of sorts. Dozens of old photographs, newspaper clippings and advertisements spanning several decades are included alongside written text to tell the story of the bittersweet drink that has become part of New England lore — and has many unique connections to the Granite State.

For example, while Moxie was originally produced in Lowell, Mass., in 1885, its very first glass bottles were sourced over the Granite State border, from Lyndeborough Glass Co. The authors will also discuss the famous Moxie bottle house that stood at Pine Island Park in Manchester for decades. The bottle stood 32 feet high and was used as a refreshment stand at local fairs.

If you’ve never tried Moxie before, the event will also be a good opportunity to taste it for the first time. The Londonderry-based Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Northern New England, where more than 90 percent of the world’s Moxie is produced, will be providing free samples of the beverage for all attendees.

The flavor of Moxie, Lewis said, is unique and difficult to describe. Its core ingredient is gentian root, a bittersweet herb that gives the drink a sweetness followed by a bitter aftertaste.

“We have a member [of the New England Moxie Congress] that says it’s like root beer on steroids, and that’s as close as you can come to describe it,” Lewis said. “The aftertaste is what people either really like or don’t like. Some people say it tastes like Dr. Pepper. However, if you like a root beer float, you will love a Moxie float. The combination of vanilla ice cream and the bitterness of the Moxie makes it an excellent beverage.”

Lewis, who also presented the book with Sasseville at the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire on June 1, has a narrated slideshow prepared for the Millyard Museum event, discussing the book and sharing many of its depicted photos and advertisements.

“The early part of the book really emphasizes the patent medicine era of Moxie, [and] how it was marketed as ‘Moxie Nerve Food,’ guaranteed to cure everything halitosis to hangnail,” Lewis said. “It was changed to a soft drink after the passage of the Pure Food & Drug Act [of 1906], when none of these wild medicinal claims could

be backed up.”

He’ll also point out many of Moxie’s most famous misconceptions (it was designated the official soft drink of the state of Maine in 2005, but in fact has never been produced there), interspersed with several anecdotes. At the conclusion of the presentation, they will sign and sell copies of the book, as well as other Moxie gear like T-shirts and hats.

Lewis said more signings may be planned for the near future, including some centered around the annual Moxie Festival in Lisbon, Maine, in mid-July.

Mobile trailer to feature coffees from around the world

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

As a flight attendant for American Airlines, Hudson native Jared Turgeon is well traveled, visiting countries all over Europe and Central America. His experiences visiting coffee shops and cafes during his travels, along with his eventual dream to start a business of his own, were among his inspirations to introduce a new coffee concept in his home state.

Jayrard’s Java Cafe, on track for an official launch in the coming weeks, is a mobile trailer specializing in coffees, teas and espresso drinks, with products continually sourced from several countries around the world, many of which Turgeon has visited.

“I really wanted to bring the flavors of the world to New Hampshire,” Turgeon said.

“There are a lot of different types of coffees and other things unique to Central and South America, and it’s been very cool to be able to explore that and [experience] the different tastes.”

He said he originally had the idea last summer, sketching out different business plans and ideas on paper. He eventually decided that a mobile coffee trailer, as opposed to a stationary shop, would be a great opportunity to fill a niche in the Granite State.

“When you go to events like food festivals and fairs, you don’t really find coffee, but everybody drinks coffee,” he said. “They are coming in with their Starbucks or their Dunkin’ Donuts or whatever. I feel like [coffee] is not represented much at fairs. … The other thing is that [having a trailer] allows me the flexibility to still work my full-time job.”

Last October, Turgeon bought a 17-footlong by eight-foot-wide camper that he has since been hard at work on, renovating both the interior and exterior with the help of a few friends. He also bought an Italian-made espresso machine running on propane that he’ll be using for his coffees, many of which have already been tested ahead of the trailer’s launch.

He’ll be starting with coffee sourced from Café Britt out of Costa Rica, with the goal to eventually branch out to other Central American and some European regions.

Jayrard’s Java Cafe will be offering hot, iced, frozen and nitro brew coffee, as well as a few espresso drinks like hot or iced lattes, hot cappuccinos and caramel macchiatos.

Featured flavor shots to choose from will include vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, maple, butter pecan, cookie butter and peppermint, and there will also be options to add whipped cream or make lattes with oat milk. Turgeon is using Ghirardelli chocolate for a few mocha drinks, and he’ll also have a Chilean

caramel called manjar.

“My husband, Yeric, is actually from Chile. Manjar is something you can only find down there,” Turgeon said. “It’s kind of like a caramel, but almost going in the direction of a dulce de leche. It’s really, really good, and something that will be new for a lot of people here in New Hampshire. I’m interested to see what people think of it, even if we have to do samples or something to get people to try it.”

You’ll be able to order a few teas as well.

For now, Jayrard’s Java Cafe is sourcing from Mighty Leaf Tea, offering hot or iced with flavors such as Tropical Green, Wild Berry Hibiscus and Decaf English Breakfast.

As for food, he’s exploring the possibility of offering packaged, to-go type options, but the real focus, he said, will be on the coffees and teas.

Other regions Turgeon said he has his sights on to introduce coffees from include Colombia, Guatemala and possibly some European countries soon.

Turgeon said he is in talks to appear at upcoming Granite State fairs and festivals this summer and fall, like the Cheshire Fair in Swanzey in August, New Hampshire’s Ultimate Yard Sale in Hopkinton in September and a few others. He hopes Jayrard’s Java Cafe will be available to book for private events across southern New Hampshire as well.

“I think, down the road, I’d like to open a small coffee shop or business, and this is kind of like a springboard to a bigger dream,” he said.

Greenfield residents Rosana Vargas and her husband, Reymundo “Rey,” launched Taco Time (562-0542, find them on Facebook or Instagram @tacotimenh), a Milford-based food trailer specializing in authentic Mexican food options, last year. The menu features tacos served in corn tortillas, like chicken, carne asada (seasoned steak) and al pastor (marinated pork), plus burritos and burrito bowls with your choice of filling (bean and cheese, veggie, chicken or pork); Photo by Matt Ingersoll. quesadillas with flour or corn tortillas and your choice of filling; homemade nachos topped with cheese and fresh pico de gallo (and optional toppings like chicken or pork); and taco salads featuring crisp shredded lettuce, pico de gallo and cheese on a bed of homemade tortilla chips. Rosana Vargas makes her own pico de gallo and guacamole and gets her meats and other ingredients from local stores. She also has daily specials; most recently, options have included three-bean chili and fish tacos with haddock. A native of Colombia, Rosana Vargas has lived in New Hampshire for more than 20 years, previously working in the kitchen at Keene State College. You can find the Taco Time food trailer parked outside the former Lefty’s Lanes bowling alley (244 Elm St., Milford) every Tuesday through Friday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and on Saturday, from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Additionally, the trailer is booked to appear at a few upcoming local events this summer and fall, the next of which will be New Hampshire Magazine’s annual Best of New Hampshire party on Thursday, June 27.

easy to drink. Alley Sack, an American light lager, might just be your perfect choice in those moments. As the brewery puts it, “This could be considered the gateway drug for entry level craft beer enthusiasts.”

Caravela Kolsch Style Ale by Kelsen Brewing (Derry) Light, crisp and smooth — about as easy drinking as it gets. Perfect when the sun is relentless.

Sour Flower by Henniker Brewing Co. (Henniker) Jeff Mucciarone is an account manager I’m still not sure how I feel about sours with Montagne Communications, where he overall, but I am sure I like this one. This provides communications support to the New dry-hopped sour ale is refreshingly tart with Hampshire wine and spirits industry. a pleasing lemony zip. I think this would be quite good paired with spicy food.

Must Try

Ginger Pepper Pale Ale by Portsmouth Brewery (Portsmouth) I’ve never tried this particular brew but how could you not be intrigued? The combination of fresh ginger and hot peppers should make this a particularly unique warm weather option.

Sun Day by Deciduous Brewing Co. (Dover) I checked the tap list at Deciduous recently and I’m not sure you could go wrong. Sun Day is a hoppy ale brewed with milk sugar and fruited with blueberries. That just screams summer. The brewery also makes Fun Day, which is fruited with mangos, and Rainbow Dreams, which features mixed fruits. I don’t think these brews are around long.

With the rise of craft beer, we’ve all seen beer seasonality rise accordingly. Given small batch brews and limited releases (which I think are kind of the same thing) have become more and more prevalent, it makes sense brewers are nimbly developing and introducing seasonally appropriate brews at all times.

Years ago, it would be reasonably common place for a brewery to release, say, a summer seasonal brew. Think Samuel Adams Summer Ale or Brooklyn Brewery’s Summer Ale. (Incidentally, I want some Brooklyn Summer in my face right now.) These are lighter brews featuring light citrus notes, light hop character and an easy-drinking style. Obviously, that still works quite well in warm weather.

Still, craft brewers now are perhaps less likely to put out a generic “summer ale,” and more likely to release one or a series of seasonal brews aimed at capturing the summer season in a glass. That might mean a summer IPA with tropical hop flavor or a crisp pilsner brewed with lime or maybe a tart sour brewed with cherry. The explosion of craft beer has bred a relentless appetite for new, unique and exciting experimentation.

Here are five New Hampshire brews that would be perfect companions for a summer day:

Alley Sack by Kettlehead Brewing (Tilton) Sometimes, especially in the summer, you just want something fresh, simple and

Hog Wilde by Beara Brewing Co. (Portsmouth) This is a stout that is infused with “bacon chipotle BBQ.” OK. Let that sink in for a minute. There are some people who might be scared of this. Not me. I’m imagining rich smoke, a salty kick from the bacon and just a little smoky heat from the peppers. On a hot summer day, you might opt for something else. But on a cool summer evening as you polish off an entire rack of ribs, well, this might just be the definition of perfection.

What’s in My Fridge Allagash White by Allagash Brewing Company (Portland, ME): This is sort of the quintessential “wheat” beer, with a smooth, almost silky texture, extremely hazy pour and complex layers of bready, citrus flavor. I hadn’t had one in quite some time and I appreciated the chance to reintroduce myself to this classic brew. Cheers!

When last we left this New York all-but-arena-indie band (and yeah, that’s as close to an oxymoron as you could get, but let’s not even bother), specifically on their 2013 album Modern Vampires of the City, they’d shifted a bit from their heavily world-music stance, trading their island-vacation timbales and such for string sections and more intricate bits in an effort to create what I’d call “twee-prog.” That’s not to say that odd percussion influenced by Paul Simon wasn’t there, on “Obvious Bicycle” for example, but they were landing somewhere between Death Cab and Minus the Bear with some loud-quiet-loud in there (“Diane Young”) as well. Anyway, the whole churchgoer vibe that was present then is doubled-down from the start here, evidenced by the reverent choir passage in “Hold You Know,” which would otherwise be Amos Lee-ish.

But then we get into their genius-level, super-pretty way with getaway-pop on “Harmony Way,” then to some half-bullhorned dance-indie (“Bambina”), then to a great imitation of “Hello It’s Me”-period Todd Rundgren on “Unbearably White.” Outstanding. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

Mindi Abair and the Boneshakers, No Good Deed (Good For A Girl Records)

Yep, there are still middle-of-theroad rock bands around, some of them good, like the one on deck here, a Los Angeles quintet fronted by Grammy-winning sax player Abair, who’s been a tour asset to Aerosmith and Duran Duran. Guitarist Randy Jacobs has a similar pedigree, having been her right arm for years, in between stints playing with Bonnie Raitt’s band and Was Not Was; the long and short of it is, yeah, they’ve been at it for a bit. A lot of the stuff has a familiar ring — if you like Bonnie Raitt, you’ll like most of this LP, but you might even if you don’t. There’s a Joan Jett meets, well, Shania Twain deal going on with “No Good Deed Goes Unpunished,” for instance, and there’s more raucousness on a noise-sax-pelted cover of The Young Rascals’ “You Better Run,” more commonly known as “one of those big Pat Benatar songs.” The sound is outstanding for a record that didn’t cost a gorillion dollars to produce; Abair’s sax mostly evokes the dude from the Saturday Night Live band. Sassy and rockin’ and such, definitely recommended if you’re a bar-band diehard. A — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • The Jonas Brothers, or at least one of them, whichever one’s dating one of those Nosferatu-looking Olsen twins or whatever, are back in the news, so why don’t we kick off the list of June 7 CD releases with the new Jonas Brothers LP, Happiness Begins! But before we begin, a quick retraction, because Google says the Jonas named Joe isn’t dating an Olsen twin, but is actually married to Sophie Turner from Game of Thrones, whatever that is. Meanwhile I’m going to go see what’s going on with this album, like if the new single, “Sucker,” is just some disposable bubblegum fail with a hook made of some variation of the “millennial whoop” or what. But wait, hey, did you know that somewhere in this office I have a “personalized” watermarked promo CD of the very first Jonas Brothers album from CBS/Columbia/ whichever, back when they were trying to force the band down everyone’s throats, because cute teen boys playing Disney-pop? Yep, and I can’t sell it on Amazon either, because selling promos that are clearly marked as such is illegal, and I’d probably get arrested and sentenced to actually having to listen to it. Speaking of that, in the name of the Seven Kingdoms, let’s move this along and go listen to “Sucker,” yuck, this is going to be dreadful, isn’t it. So it starts out like Lenny Kravitz trying to be 1980s-garage, is an awful idea to be sure, and then… wait, here, lemme fast-forward… more of the same. It is officially awful.

• If you haven’t destroyed all your brain cells with Tide Pod Challenges and tedious, life-gobbling video games, you may dimly recall Los Angeles indie band Silversun Pickups, whose 2009 single “Panic Switch” is often used in TV commercials and unfunny movies to signify that something stupid but fun and spazzy is going on at the nerd bar.

Like nearly all sell-out indie bands, their specialty is refusing to add catchy parts to their songs and meanwhile ripping off the vibe of some old band that did have catchy parts, in their case Smashing Pumpkins.

Widow’s Weeds, their new LP, has a single, called “It Doesn’t Matter Why,” so let’s go listen to it and see if we can stay awake through the whole thing. Right, so it’s a driving, benzene-fueled semi-rocker with — wait for it — cowbell, sort of like if Smashing Pumpkins joined with Superdrag to make a song that’s cool but ultimately worthless. It goes nowhere of course, so there’s that at least.

• 1990s-rawk ahoy, mateys, look, it’s Jane’s Addiction singing human Perry Farrell, with a new album called Kind Heaven! Just so you know, Farrell invented the Lollapalooza in 1991, as a farewell tour for “Jane’s,” isn’t that awesome. The single you can steal with your favorite YouTubetoMP3-type stealing tool is “Pirate Punk Politician,” a pretty cool noise-grunge joint, you should go listen to it, but don’t expect awesomeness, just very coolness.

• Mark Mulcahy is an egghead-college-rock dude who was once invited to sing a song made of haikus by some other egghead. His new one, The Gus, fronts the single “Taking Baby Steps.” It rips off the old Roger Hodgson song “Give a Little Bit,” but at least it’s not done in haiku.

If you haven’t heard of Esther Wojcicki, perhaps you’ve heard of her daughter, the Wojcicki who runs YouTube. Or maybe the Wojcicki who co-founded the genetic testing company 23andMe. How about the Wojcicki who is an epidemiologist and anthropologist who teaches at the University of California, San Francisco.

There’s not a slacker among the women in the Wojcicki family, which makes the opening of the matriarch’s new book both heartbreaking and poignant.

In How to Raise Successful People, Esther Wojcicki writes about her own childhood, growing up female in a house where the preference was for males. Wojcicki turned 5 the day her parents brought her new brother home from the hospital, and she ran up to him, thinking that he was a special gift, only to be pushed away; her father said something that she said still shocks her today: “Your brother Lee is a boy, and in our family boys are more important.”

“He delivered this news as if he had no understanding of how it might affect me. Even now, it’s hard for me to imagine someone saying that to a young child,” Wojcicki writes.

This was seven decades ago, and Wojcicki’s parents have passed, but it’s hard to imagine anyone telling Esther Wojcicki and her daughters that men are more important than women today. In fact, Susan (YouTube, net worth $480 million) and Anne (23andMe, $440 million) both made Forbes magazine’s annual ranking of “richest self-made women” list last year. Their late grandfather, meanwhile, was always on the verge of financial ruin, Esther Wojcicki writes.

She shared the story, however, not as a means of revenge, but to illustrate the soul-searching that she believes new parents need to do when they have children. Instead of parenting by instinct, she says, it’s important that new parents thoughtfully examine their own childhoods, especially if they were unhappy in some way. “It sounds simple, but we often fail to do it,” she writes. This exercise can also help us forgive our parents for their failings and move on to five strategies that Wojcicki exhorts parents to employ using the acronym she devised: TRICK. TRICK stands for trust, respect, independence, collaboration and kindness, and while this may sound exactly like something you’d expect from someone who has spent a half-century working for public schools, How to Raise Successful People is neither staid nor predictable.

Wojcicki charges out of the gate with a litany of her own parents’ sins, but is equally forthcoming with her own, including the time she told two of her daughters that she was giving each of them the same car; they weren’t too happy when they found out, nor was a grown-up Susan happy when she learned her mother had left her 8-yearold daughters shopping alone at Target. (“It’s Target,” I said. “It’s a well-run store.”)

Wojcicki was raising free-range kids decades

before anyone had used the term free-range kids.

She believes that parents wrongly baby their children, and that children should receive the same trust and respect that we accord other adults. Babies, for example, should be trusted to fall asleep on their own, rather than parents rushing in to comfort them when they cry. Children who don’t walk or talk “on schedule” should be trusted to develop at the speed appropriate for them.

As evidence, she offers her own grandchildren, one of whom didn’t talk until he was nearly 3 but then suddenly started speaking in complete sentences, and another who was thought not to be able to walk, until one day he broke out into a perfect run.

As for independence, Wojcicki says parents shouldn’t do anything for their children that they can do themselves, to include coming up with their own boundaries for tech use. Children will often come up with even stricter rules than their parents would, if given the opportunity, she says.

And if you need an excuse not to help your child with his or her homework, Wojcicki offers an anecdote from her friend Maye Musk, the mother of Elon Musk.

“She never checked her kids’ homework. She couldn’t. She was working five jobs to make ends meet. When their assignments required a parent’s approval, she had them practice her signature so they could sign for her. ‘I didn’t have time,’ she told me, ‘and it was their work.’”

Wojcicki’s belief in giving children autonomy over their lives extends from bedroom décor (she let Susan, at age 6, pick out hot pink shag carpeting for her bedroom) to their religious faith (their father was Catholic, their mother Jewish, so the girls got to choose their own path at age 12).

She’s also taken this philosophy into the classroom at Palo Alto High School in Silicon Valley, where she heads up the media arts program that counts among its alumni the actor James Franco. All decisions are made by the student editors; her role is advisor. Her ultimate goal, she writes, as both parent and teacher is “to make myself obsolete.”

The Wojcicki children were not perfect; Wojcicki spills the tea on the time she and her physicist husband Stanley left them alone for the weekend at ages 16, 15 and 13 … too early, as it turns out, as the parents later were horrified to learn that that their home had been the site of a party attended by about 100 teens. (Wojcicki found out because one of the guests showed up at school on Monday wearing one of Wojcicki’s outfits taken from her closet.)

The girls were grounded for a month, and from then on, they had sitters when their parents were out of town. “By the way, we weren’t the only parents who had this experience,” Wojcicki writes. “If you have teenage kids, expect that they will throw a party when you leave.”

As some critics have noted, it’s unclear whether Wojcicki’s parenting techniques produced successful people because they work, or because CONTINUED ON 47

Henniker comic artist and educator Marek Bennett gives readers a look at the Civil War through the eyes of a Union soldier from Henniker in his new graphic novel The Civil War Diary of Freeman Colby, Vol. 2: 1863, which he will present at the Hopkinton Town Library on Thursday, June 13, and at Gibson’s Bookstore in Concord on Wednesday, June 26.

The book is a follow-up to Bennett’s 2016 graphic novel The Civil War Diary of Freeman Colby.

While poking through some boxes at the Henniker Historical Society looking for inspiration for his next comic, Bennett came across the diary of Freeman Colby, a teacher in Henniker who enlisted as a soldier in the 39th Massachusetts Regiment of the Union army during the Civil War. “I got hooked on the story [Freeman Colby] was telling,” he said. “When you see a movie about the Civil War, the story is compressed to fit into an hour or two, and you don’t get a sense of the day-to-day, but Freeman Colby’s narrative gives more details and a really different sense of the Civil War and what it was like to be in a Union regiment in 1862.”

The Civil War Diary of Freeman Colby is a 352-page comic adaptation of the diary in its entirety. The diary ends abruptly, and Bennett thought the book would be the extent of his work with Freeman Colby’s story, but after the book was published, Freeman Colby’s great-granddaughter contacted Bennett, offering to share 80 pages of letters written by Freeman Colby during the Civil War that her family had kept and passed down.

Bennett accepted the letters and started working on The Civil War Diary of Freeman Colby, Vol. 2: 1863, but creating a coherent narrative from the letters proved to be more challenging than simply reproducing the whole diary, Bennett said “In the diary, [Freeman Colby] writes everything out, and it supplies me with everything I needed, but with the letters, there are some empty gaps,” he said.

That led him to take a different approach.

Rather than focus only on Freeman Colby’s experience as the first book does, Bennett decided he would provide a more comprehensive look at the Civil War, but still through the eyes of Freeman Colby. “[The first book] is nonfiction, but nonfiction doesn’t always mean complete,” he said. “At that point, I had to wonder, do I trust [Freeman Colby] as a narrator to be historically factual and tell the complete story, or do I have to step away from that one-person account and include other voices to get the complete story?”

Vol. 2 weaves together Freeman Col-

by’s letters with accounts from other people affected by the Civil War, some of whom knew Freeman Colby and some for whom there is no documentation that they and Freeman Colby ever Courtesy photo. met. For the latter, Bennett used some fictional elements to place Freeman Colby into those accounts, one of which comes from the Civil War notebooks of Walt Whitman.

“I don’t believe Freeman Colby and Walt Whitman ever met, but I’ve made things a little more flexible so that the experiences in Walt Whitman’s texts are also seen and experienced by Freeman Colby,” Bennett said. “I feel OK about doing that [fictional aspect], because even though it’s not a fact that Freeman Colby experienced those things, it is a fact that thousands of people did, so there is a larger historical truth there.”

Other accounts come from Jonas Bacon, Freeman Colby’s childhood neighbor and friend who was also a private; Fannie Dawson, an enslaved woman from Fredericksburg who confronted her masters; Sarah Low, a volunteer nurse who ran a ward at Washington’s Armory Square Hospital; and Abraham Tuckson, an enslaved man who returned to the South to find his family.

Bennett’s Freeman Colby comics are done with black felt-tip pens and consist primarily of stick figures. The animation is purposefully “kept as simple as possible,” Bennett said, so that it “leaves everything up to the imagination” of the reader.

“I’ve never found a photograph of Freeman Colby, and I don’t think it’s right to bring my own guesswork into it,” he said. “I’d rather draw him as a circle with two dots and a line than be historically inaccurate.”

Bennett has plans to pen Freeman Colby volumes 3 and 4, which will include more of Freeman Colby’s letters and other Civil War accounts from 1864 and 1865.

Marek Bennett presents The Civil War Diary of Freeman Colby, Vol. 2: 1863 Author readings: Thursday, June 13, 6 p.m., at Hopkinton Town Library (61 Houston Drive, Contoocook) and Wednesday, June 26, 6 p.m., at Gibson’s Bookstore (45 S Main St., Concord) More info: marekbennett.com

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (PG-13)

offer anything more. C+ Rated PG-13 for sequences of monster action violence and destruction, and for some language, according to the MPAA. Directed by Michael Dougherty with a screenplay by Michael Dougherty & Zach Shields, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is two hours and 11 minutes long and distributed by Warner Bros.

Mothra! We finally have Mothra!

Plus other terrifying giant creatures in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the third movie in Legendary’s MonsterVerse, which started with 2014’s Godzilla.

Rocketman (R)

The music and fashion of early-years Elton John lends energy and momentum to the enjoyable biopic Rocketman.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

is not assured, however, because in waking up all the insect-y looking Titans, Alan also awakens Ghidorah, a three-headed dragon-ish creature who is an apex predator just like Godzilla.

Doesn’t “balance” in this context just mean “kill a bunch of people and destroy a bunch of cities”? Also, there’s all this talk about radiation and the possibility that Godzilla will “go thermonuclear” and I am not entirely clear on the “co-existing” element but whatever. I’m not here to nitpick a Godzilla movie or try to explain (or, frankly, even remember) the “science” it uses.

The previous MonsterVerse movies have broken down for me like this: 2014’s Godzilla had some absolutely lovely art design and use of score. While it didn’t give me nearly as much Godzilla as I wanted, it delivered on the terror a creature like this would inspire.

2017’s Kong: Skull Island was a little more jokey, a little more Samuel L. Jackson in its tone but it did a good job of reinforcing what seems to be a series conceit that sometimes the giant monster trying to kill you is better than the other giant monster trying to kill you and you might have to take sides. This summer’s movie has some of the visual prettiness of 2014’s movie and has amped up the jokiness from 2017 (much of it provided by Bradley Whitford and O’Shea Jackson Jr.). But with

more monsters has come more, just, stuff — extra backstories, scenes where we’re meant to catalog the creatures’ various abilities, so many characters. I’m fine with all the monsters but the movie needed to slice off some of the accompanying frills — there are too many concerned scientists I vaguely remember from previous movies. There is too much plot about this one family and their one dead loved one (which is sad but, like, thousands of people die in many scenes of this movie). There are too many movie goals: get the McGuffin briefcase, kill these monsters, actually save this one monster, also save the other monster that might be the first monster’s girlfriend, something something co-exist.

That said, Godzilla: King of the Monsters isn’t unfun. I mean, there are monsters and they fight. In the theater where I saw the movie, a kid dressed up in a Godzilla costume appeared to be having a fun time and I think to some extent if that kid had a good time then the movie succeeded. This is the popcorn-iest of popcorn films and I think overseriousness — even to the level of 2014 — would have been absurd and dragged the movie down, even if I missed some of the deliberateness that movie had with its visuals. Godzilla: King of the Monsters basically delivers exactly what you think it will; the biggest knock against it is that it doesn’t

This is also a much more musical-ish take on the musician biopic than, say, Bohemian Rhapsody, with songs providing a kind of emotional narration to the scenes that give you a sense of Elton John and his life at that moment — such as when “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting” brings us John (Taron Egerton), then still Reginald Dwight, and his early years of playing in pubs. John (played as a kid by Matthew Illsley and Kit Connor) grows up in a tense home with parents — mom played by Bryce Dallas Howard and dad played by Steven Mackintosh — who do not appear to like parenting or each other. But when his piano playing gets him a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music, his supportive grandmother (Gemma Jones) tells him that this is his shot. After playing pubs with a band as a teen and young twentysomething, he becomes a solo performer, writing the music to go with lyrics created

by Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell). The songs take him to Los Angeles, where a show at the Troubadour makes him a star on the rise. It’s here — at least in the movie’s telling — that he begins to hone an on-stage performance that includes physicality while playing the piano and elaborate, eye-catching costumes.

The show also gets him the attention of John Reid (Richard Madden), who eventually becomes John’s manager. First, however, he becomes John’s first serious boyfriend.

As the movie tells it, their relationship is initially a source of great joy for John but then becomes a means by which John, dealing with his increasing fame and all that

This movie opens with a flashback to that movie: married scientists Mark (Kyle Chandler) and Emma (Vera Farmiga) and their daughter Madison (Millie Bobby Brown) walk among the ruins of a Godzilla-trampled San Francisco searching for their missing son.

Some five years later, the couple has separated and Emma and Madison live at a Monarch station where Emma studies a giant gestating something and works on a project she calls Orca. Helpfully packed in a briefcase for easy McGuffin transport, Orca will allow humans to communicate with the Titans, which is what we’re calling all the Godzilla/Kong/ Mothra creatures collectively. By “communicate,” I think the Orca mostly calls them to an area and/or calms them down. So I’m not sure what the plan is — Titan zoo? Titan meetand-greet with area civic groups and light refreshments — doughnuts for the humans, humans for the Titans?

Whatever the plan, we don’t get very far because just as the gestating something hatches into a giant glowy larva, men with guns burst into the facility and mow down everyone except Emma and Madison, whom they take along with the Orca. The men are eco-terrorists led by Jonah Alan (Charles Dance). His plan is to use the Orca to something something question mark and then the Titans will provide balance in the natural world, undoing the harm humanity has caused the Earth.

This plan has something to do with how Titans’ radiation helps spur the growth of plant and animal life in the areas they have destroyed. There is also some idea — at least, Dr. Ishiro Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) seems to advocate this — that humans and Titans can coexist together-ish, with the “good” Titans, like Godzilla and King Kong, keeping the more rascally Titans, like the winged Rodan (which Wikipedia says is a pteranodon-y creature), in check. This balance of power

comes with that, grows isolated and lonely, latching on to whatever — shopping, drugs, drinking — gives him relief.

This is a fairly standard kind of story, narrated by 1980s-ish Elton John speaking to a support group at the drug rehab facility that he’s checked himself in to. It’s the music and the way John’s songs are worked in, almost non-stop, throughout the movie, that makes the movie sparkle and go beyond the VH1 Behind the Music basics. That and the clothes. One of the first things I did after seeing this movie was to see if a book of Elton John fashion exists. I couldn’t find one but apparently his autobiography — Me

by Elton John — comes out this fall and if that has a significant amount of photos plus discussion on the looks, I’ll be all in. This movie really highlights how he used the costumes to deliver his performances.

This is not to say that the movie is all greatest hits and a fashion show. Egerton gives depth to the familiar role of guy in the center of a rock star storm. We get to see John’s ambition as a performer and his more personal desires for a stable loving relationship. The movie also does a good job of building the friendship between John and Taupin, an interesting kind of partnership where, by design, only one person is going to be the megastar. Egerton and Bell have solid chemistry and Bell, though very much a supporting character, is able to bring layers to his role as well.

This might also be my favorite performance from Madden, whom I know mostly from those early seasons of Game of Thrones and from Cinderella. He exudes handsomeness and, as the movie goes on, is able to match Bryce Dallas Howard in Reid’s casual cruelness to John. He’s so good at being so handsome and so mean, at turning on the charm and then snapping it off in a second. It helps us understand why John is so drawn to him and continues his relationship with Reid (a business relationship even after the romantic one ends) for such a long time (well, that and the many contracts Reid has him sign).

As with Bohemian Rhapsody and the Mamma Mia! movies, Rocketman reminded me of how enjoyable the core musical catalog of the story’s focus is — music that I am

very familiar with but that isn’t currently a part of my everyday life. This movie made me want to rediscover Elton John’s music, as those others did Queen’s and ABBA’s. What Rocketman offers in addition is a well-crafted narrative, some really lovely visuals (the costumes seem to be the element the overall look of many scenes are built on) and performances that bring emotional depth to the standard rock star story. B+ Rated R for language throughout, some drug use and sexual content, according to the MPAA. Directed by Dexter Fletcher with a screenplay by Lee Hall, Rocketman is two hours and one minute long and distributed

by Paramount Pictures.

Octavia Spencer clearly wanted to have some fun and does so with the bonkers horror movie Ma, which features social awkwardness, peer pressure and inappropriate adult behavior as some of its Big Bads.

Adults injecting themselves into the teen world and trying to be cool, and over-thetop bullying, are for me right up there with eye-squishing as things I reflexively cover my face during when they’re in a movie.

There were a few scenes here I heard but didn’t entirely see.

Maggie (Diana Silvers) and her mom Erica (Juliette Lewis) move to the small town Erica grew up in after Erica and Maggie’s dad divorce. Maggie meets a group of kids who explain that the principal form of entertainment in the town is driving around in Andy’s (Corey Fogelmanis) van and getting drunk (Andy himself doesn’t drink because this is a responsible bonkers horror movie). Because Haley (McKaley Miller), the group’s ringleader, is too well-known at the liquor store, they send Maggie out to pathetically plead with adults to please, sir, buy us this list of booze items. Naturally, this does not work until Sue Ann (Spencer) walks by.

Andy’s van has his father’s company name on it and, as we see in slowly unfurled flashbacks, Sue Ann and Andy’s father, Ben (Luke Evans), have history. She agrees to buy the booze and then anonymously alerts CONTINUED ON 51

Ben. Later, she buys the kids more booze and invites them back to her house, saying she doesn’t want them to drink and drive so they can hang out in her basement.

Apparently, this rural school system never had any lessons on strangers and candy or perhaps the town is just so boring that these teens willingly ignore the obvious warning signs and delightedly hang out at Sue Ann’s house, or, as they eventually call her, “Ma.” More kids come and Ma’s house becomes the spot for unsupervised drinking, dancing and making out. Only Maggie wet-blanketly tries to warn everyone that, hey, guys, maybe this grown adult willing to do shots with teenagers has some issues.

The best scenes of this movie feature Sue Ann creepily causing mischief via phone or social media while at work and being interrupted by her annoyed boss, veterinarian Allison Janney. Her irritated “get off your damn phone”-type comments to an increasingly unhinged Sue Ann are delightful — both puncturing the high drama of Sue POP CULTURE FILMS ​ ED RIVER THEATRES R 11 S.

Ann’s nutty schemes and a moment of the real world entering into the lunacy of the plot.

One woman’s “you will pay for the wrongs done to me!” is another woman’s “ugh, I have to hire a replacement for my front desk person who is too busy weaving a revenge plot to answer the phones.”

Spencer here gets to be over-the-top, delivering all the acting at top volume. It’s hard to dislike a movie where its lead, long a supporting character in more serious endeavors, is clearly reveling in a chance to pull out the zanier acting tools and really cut loose.

Ma isn’t groundbreaking (in fact, without Spencer, I don’t think it’d be much of anything) but it’s entertaining and it has a goofy sense of humor about the kind of story it’s telling. C+ Rated R for violent/disturbing material, language throughout, sexual content and for teen drug and alcohol use, according to the MPAA.

Hayes Carll arrives on heels of acclaimed new album

• Funny man: Well known for nearly winning America’s Got Talent, Tom Cotter tells jokes over three nights in different New Hampshire cities. Cotter’s humor runs the gamut from parenting (he wrote a book called Bad Dad) to poking fun at his wife, who’s also a comic (she went further than he did on Last Comic Standing). He also riffs on coming in second to a pair of dogs on AGT. Thursday, June 6, 8 p.m., Chunky’s Cinema Pub, 151 Coliseum Ave., Nashua. Tickets $30 at headlinerscomedyclub.com.

• Getting down: Philadelphia funk, soul and fusion band Darla return to the area on the heels of a new album, Dear Darla. The six-piece ensemble features saxophonists Wil Schade and David Bartler acting as the lead voices for an instrumental palette, with brilliant interplay between guitarist Brendan Monahan and keys player Kosta Johnson, anchored by a rhythm section of Jake Held and Richard Straub. Go Saturday, June 8, 8 p.m., Riverwalk Café 35 Railroad Square, Nashua. See riverwalknashua.com.

• Up there: A free, all-ages concert atop an independent bookstore’s roof features Gilliver, Village of Spaces, Party of the Sun and Sweater Mouth and closes out the five-day Thing in the Spring, one of the most well-curated events in the region, now in its 12th year. Gilliver is a local band led by singer-songwriter Molly Brown, offering dreamy psychedelia and a Velvet Underground sensibility. Sunday, June 9, 2 p.m., Toadstool Bookshop, 12 Depot St., Peterborough. See thethinginthespring.com.

• Revved engine: A lot of live music is happening over the next nine days at Bike Week, including Sygnal to Noise, a NEMA-winning hard rock band from Maine playing a venue recently opened in the old Paradise Beach Club location. After the nine-day motorcycle meet ends, the new spot will have several national acts like country rockers Parmalee, Puddle of Mudd and Uncle Kracker. Go Wednesday, June 12, 8 p.m., The Big House, 322 Lakeside Ave., Laconia. See bighousenightclub.com.

As he begins an early May phone interview, Hayes Carll is in a good place, watching his soon-to-be stepson John Henry Earle play baseball at a game that pairs special needs kids with other players. John Henry, who is autistic, gets a base hit, and cheering interrupts the conversation.

Two days later, Carll married longtime partner Allison Moorer, John Henry’s mother and also the producer and cowriter of over half the songs on his critically lauded new album. After a week-long U.K. tour, the new family moved from New York City to Nashville.

Combining music and romance is new for Carll.

“I’ve never been in a relationship like that with another writer and artist,” he said. “It turns out that a lot of time is spent talking about your art and your craft. … She was the person [with] the best understanding of what I was trying to do and articulate. She also happens to be a badass artist.”

Carll’s 2016 LP Lovers and Leavers reflected the pain of recent divorce. What It Is, released early this year, is upbeat and smiling, from the playful opener “None Ya” to “I Will Stay,” a tender love song closing things out.

“The result is a more joyful record,” he said. “There are a lot of positives happening for me right now. I’m glad it can be reflected in the music.”

A songwriter known for hard luck stories laced with humor like “She Left Me For Jesus,” Carll’s most recent work comes from a more personal place.

“Trying to get to where I was writing from the inside out instead of outside in,” he said. “In the past it always started with some detail … hoping that it sounded cool and [synced] up with my life in some way.

More recently, I’ve been trying to get to the heart of it, and say what it is that I’m feeling.”

He hits the current political climate from a few different angles. The rocking “Times Like These” snarks about whining billionaires, while offering a unifying message.

“That song is just born out of frustration,” Carll said. “We have more in common than what separates us, and I just think it’s our elected officials’ responsibility to highlight that.”

“Fragile Men” sparked rancor for its blunt chorus, “the whole world is exploding/and I know it feels so strange/it must make you so damn angry/they’re expecting you to change,” among other things. A co-write with pop singer LOLO, it originally took on patriarchy, then was rewritten after events unfolded in Charlottesville and released in April 2017, along with a Klan-mocking video.

“It got a surprising amount of blowback,” Carll said. “From people saying I was overinflating the issue, that racism and the like is not actually a real thing, it’s just the media’s blown it into something and I’m just furthering that narrative. It was a lot of talking points from a certain sect basically telling me to shut up [and] it was disappointing to realize that’s a fairly prevalent belief for a lot of people, including some of my fans.”

On What It Is, Carll offers his own version of “Jesus and Elvis,” first recorded

by Kenny Chesney. It’s a song about a real place with a perhaps apocryphal story.

“I’ve done some research after the fact and I’m not sure,” he said. “But there’s a bar in Austin called Lola’s that I used to hang out in when I lived there, with Christmas lights up year-round and a jukebox in the corner with nothing on it past 1968. The story I heard was Lola had a son that had gone to fight in Vietnam at Christmastime, and she promised she would not take the

lights down until he made it back home. …

They’re still up there.”

At an upcoming New Hampshire show, Carll will perform with his trio: drummer Mike Meadows and Travis Linville, a singer-songwriter and guitarist who also plays an opening set. The next day, he’ll headline the Roots on the River Festival in Bellows Falls, Vermont.

The latter event jump started Carll’s career when he first played it in 2008.

“I was mostly in Texas then,” he said.

“I’d done an out-of-state tour, but it had been more like a long trip with an occasional stop that nobody showed up at. A friend talked me into going up there; I wasn’t even booked [and] it opened up a whole touring world for me.”

Hayes Carll Trio w/ Travis Linville When: Friday, June 7, 7 p.m.

Where: 3S Artspace, 319 Vaughan St., Portsmouth Tickets: $23-$30 at 3sarts.org.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Holy action hero!

Bill Gibson of Burtonsville, Maryland, drives an iconic vehicle: a custom-built 1966 replica of the Batmobile, complete with rocket launchers, jet flames and a bat phone, worth $175,000. So he wasn’t about to stand by and let a criminal escape on May 15, when a hitand-run driver smashed into his prized car on Route 28 in Silver Spring. “I don’t know what the guy was thinking,” Gibson told Fox5. “He must have been going about 60 ... and just slammed into the right rear corner.” When the driver failed to pull over, Gibson dialed 911 and gave chase, eventually pulling into a church parking lot, where the driver agreed to give Gibson his insurance information without getting the police involved. Gibson estimates repairs will cost around $7,000.

Lame

Manuel Muniz, 35, of Amsterdam, New York, didn’t fool officers of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department with his attempt to avoid the lines at the DMV. Muniz was charged on May 20 with driving an unregistered vehicle after officers quickly identified Muniz’s handwritten inspection sticker as a fake, made out of red construction paper and including a handmade bar code and January 2020 expiration date, WRGB reported. “We appreciate people who take some initiative,” the department posted on its Facebook page, “however this will not work as your vehicle inspection sticker, NICE TRY!”

The litigious society

came to the end of the pavement, his car hit the exposed beams of the bridge and skidded to a stop. The driver got away, but police apprehended a passenger, who informed them the driver had one leg and had left his prosthetic leg behind in the car. Police said they were confident they’ll track him down soon.

Fashion statement

You either love ‘em or hate ‘em, but if you’re going to be mocked for your fashion sense, Crocs’ newest style doubles your chances. Developed as part of a collaboration with Japanese streetwear company Beams, the new Crocs sport tiny fanny packs attached to the ankle straps, reported CBS News. The $53 shoes come in teal and purple, and the miniature backpacks are big enough for keys, a credit card and a few dollars — along with Crime report what’s left of your dignity.

A 40th birthday outing ended on a sour note for Neil Edwards-Cecil, the birthday boy, and Or you could just walk Officials in the southern Spanish town of Lee Gaudoin, 31.

Wait, what?

Jim and Jen (who asked that their last names be withheld) of Ontario, Canada, decided in Michael and Kyle Sherwood, father-and2011 they would be done having children after son funeral directors in Cleveland, Ohio, have their twins were born that year. Jen’s doctor was supposed to perform a tubal ligation after delivering the babies, but 10 months later, she found herself pregnant again. “I was floored,” she told CTV News. “I couldn’t imagine having a newborn again.” But in February 2013, their fourth child was born, and later that year, Jen and Jim sued their hospital and doctors for $800,000 for wrongful pregnancy. The case is expected to go to trial in spring 2020. It’s “not that we don’t love her. ... She is everything and more, but it still doesn’t mitigate the fact that there are pragmatic costs to raising a child,” Jen said. The hospital investigated and uncovered a chain of miscommunication regarding the tubal ligation — compounded by not letting Jen know the procedure had not been done. “If a man got a woman pregnant, he would have to pay child support, right?” said Jim. Lawyers for the doctors deny that Jen and Jim have suffered any damages.

opened a niche business: Save My Ink Forever, which preserves the tattoos of people who have died as a memorial for their loved ones. The idea for the 2-year-old company came about after a “semi-serious” discussion with a friend about preserving tattoos, according to BBC News. “So we started doing some research and blended a few techniques together,” Kyle Sherwood said, to develop a technique for long-term preservation of excised skin art.

The company works with funeral homes in the United States, U.K. and Canada, where the tattoos are surgically removed, then sent to a lab for preservation before being mounted and framed behind UV-protected glass. “People put urns on their mantel and to me, my tattoos are more meaningful than an urn on the mantel,” Sherwood said.
