The Music Man October 18-27, 2019 The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef.

GRANITE VIEWS ALLYSON RYDER

Leading the Way

As autumn descends on New England, so do the presidential candidates coming to New Hampshire. But something feels lacking.

With the primary just four short months away, there are many who remain undecided on a candidate. I often hear this: “I’ll vote for anyone but Trump,” or “The field is too big, I’ll figure out my candidate eventually.” But are those winning strategies? Lest we forget, in 2016, President Trump was one of 17 candidates in the Republican field, yet he was able to build a base to sustain him all the way through to his eventual election.

Unseating an incumbent is no easy task. To date, I’ve not seen one candidate from the Democrats establish a following comparable to what Trump has been able to do throughout our country. If that’s the case, will enough voters engage to oust Trump in 2020?

There are those who think President Trump may be impeached prior to the 2020 election but that may not be realistic. History shows no impeachment process has resulted in the removal of a sitting president; either the vote died in the Senate (Clinton and Johnson), or, in the case of Nixon, he resigned before the House even voted on impeaching him.

What does this all mean for 2020? I think candidates should focus on ways to inspire people in a meaningful way by prioritizing average Americans’ concerns over donors. Policies and plans are absolutely important but I’m not sure if that results in high voter turnout.

I remember the energy I felt when President Obama ran in 2008, but admittedly I cannot recite many of his platforms beyond working to unifying Americans and addressing our nation’s health care crisis. From what I understand, Trump’s base works in a similar manner and their enthusiasm is based more on what he says and less on what he planned to do, save for his stance on immigration and his promise to appoint conservative judges.

Additionally, I believe it’s important to focus on U.S. Senate races and seats. There are many in the presidential candidate pool right now who should instead be running for Senate. If 2018 taught us anything, it’s that the United States Senate is, arguably, the most powerful group in Washington. Given their responsibility for conducting votes for Supreme Court nominees, it’s imperative that these races not be overlooked in favor of an over-crowded presidential race.

In about a year, we’ll be voting for president of the United States, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and many other seats at the state level. As the first in the nation, it’s incumbent upon us to set the tone for the rest of the country, and show up, enthusiastically, for our candidate of choice.

NEWS & NOTES

Pedestrian plans Over the course of the last several weeks, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation has been holding meetings across the state in order to garner input for the department’s Statewide Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation Plan, a major update to a plan that has gone untouched since the year 2000, says chief highway safety engineer Mike Dugas. He said the reception for the eight meetings the department has held since the start of the initiative last month has been “quite positive.”

“We’ve invited the public to try to help us identify particular roads without shoulders, places that need bike paths or where there are other major safety gaps in places they would want to be, and then also try to help us guide where future improvements should be made,” Dugas said.

Dugas says problem areas cited by those who attended the meetings were based largely on local concerns in the region where the meeting is held. Over the next few weeks the DOT and a consultant will map and collate all of the problem areas and requests for improvement cited throughout the public input process.

The information will be compiled in a report that will be presented at a DOT closing summary meeting in December or January.

While Dugas cautioned that the study and its eventual findings are no guarantee of funding for cycling and pedestrian improvements, he said the information had the potential to give planners greater impetus to build the needs into future projects.

“The study is really meant to guide future thinking,” said Dugas. “It might lead to future

projects that are devoted to bike or pedestrian improvements, or it may inform or modify the scope of other highway projects so that we’re doing a better job of accommodating bikes and pedestrians.”

Housing budget in the red Addressing Manchester’s burgeoning homelessness crisis is poised to have the city’s Welfare Department overspending this year’s housing budget. According to an Oct. 14 story in the Union Leader, capacity limits at city shelters and a growing homeless population have combined to force the department to expend 41 percent of its yearly $196,000 allotment for housing-related expenses in just the last three months. According to the Union Leader, Welfare Department Director Charlene Michaud said she expects to overspend in this area over the budget’s remaining nine months, and that the bulk of the expenses made so far have dealt with covering missed rent payments for at-risk tenants.

Market and Main At the town’s Oct. 7 Planning Board meeting, Bedford residents and town officials expressed disappointment with new conceptual plans for the town’s Market and Main development site. Some said it is a complete reversal from what residents were told the area would become, after developers presented plans for a 290-unit apartment building, which they say is a response to difficulty attracting the office space, movie theater and hotel that were originally slated to occupy the mixed-use development area when it was approved in 2016. In a video recording of the meeting, resident Jeff Lesard called the proposed apartments “an abomi-

nation” and a “desire for a quick exit from a developer that’s from out of state who doesn’t have to stay here and probably never understood the community in the first place.” While residential housing is not currently permitted in Market and Main’s mixed use zoning, property owners Encore Realty have the right to submit a formal site plan and request a waiver from town officials. As of Oct. 15, no formal site plan had been submitted.

DCYF numbers New data from the New Hampshire Division for Children, Youth and Families shows that the state fielded a record number of reports for child abuse and neglect during the last fiscal year.

In DCYF’s Annual Data Book, the agency reveals that its Central Intake Unit fielded 30,993 calls for abuse and neglect, which a Department of Health and Human Services news release confirmed was the most the state had ever received. These reports went on to generate a record 12,231 child abuse and neglect assesments and a record 1,685 family services cases. In the release, DHHS associate commissioner for Human Services and Behavioral Health Christine Tappan recognized the state has more work to do and stated the division would continue to focus on “providing evidence-based programs and services to strengthen families, create supportive communities, and prevent child abuse and neglect before they start.”

A PRISON SYSTEM TEACHER

For the first time in New Hampshire history, a teacher working within the state’s prison system has been recognized as the Department of Education’s Teacher of the Year. In an Oct. 9 news release, the department announced that Kimberly Piper-Stoddard, an English teacher at Granite State High School in the Corrections Special School District, was selected as the state’s 2020 Teacher of the Year. A graduate of the University of New Hampshire, Piper-Stoddard has been in the education field for 25 years, a resume that includes time as a preschool teacher, an elementary school teacher, a middle school teacher and her current role within the prison system.

Three of the operating rooms at the Manchester Veterans Affairs Medical Center have been closed due to a fly infestation, marking the second time the insects have been found in the rooms. According to an Oct. 10 Associated Press report, a Manchester VA spokesman says the operating rooms were closed “out of an abundance of caution” following the discovery of the parasites, and went on to state that those with scheduled surgeries have been contacted in order to reschedule their procedures.

Flies in the Manchester VA Medical Center’s operating rooms were one of the many critiques about the facility that were revealed in a 2017 Boston Globe expose that led to a leadership shakeup at the center.

More police for Manchester City adding officers to address community needs

Since August, the Manchester Board of Aldermen has approved the hiring of 15 new police officers, a 6-percent increase to the Manchester Police Department’s current number of 237 patrol officers. As the city struggles to address a recent jump in violent crime, fallout from the ongoing opioid crisis and increased calls for police service, Chief Carlo Capano says the new officers represent half of the 30 additional officers the department plans to on-board over the next three years in order to meet the Queen City’s needs.

Can you tell us what forces are driving these new hires?

It’s a matter of us being spread thin and our complement needed an increase, which hasn’t been done for quite a while. It was originally done under Chief [David] Mara, who had it increased to the current 237 [officers] back in 2012, if I recall correctly. Last year we had 148,000 calls for service to the police department and it’s just a matter of getting the police department where it needs to be in order to effectively protect this community.

What benefits will these additional officers bring to the city?

The plan that I proposed to the city is 30 officers over the next three years, so 10 per year and that additional five that we were allowed to add as well. What it’s going to do is allow us to put more officers where they’re needed in our community police division, our patrol division, our traffic division, our Special Investigative Unit — which is our drug division — and then also into detectives over the course of this three-year span.

How [might] the average Manchester resident feel the impact of this enlarged police force?

Once we get to where we need to be, they’re going to be seeing more officers on the street, we’re hoping response time will be much better and we’re hoping investigations with our investigative division will be a little bit more timely. They’re also going to see a permanent walking beat down on the Elm Street downtown area, and we’ll also be able to have more traffic enforcement officers out there to answer some of the complaints for traffic issues that we see within the community.

address homelessness and drug use?

Homelessness isn’t necessarily only a police issue; it’s really an issue with society that we have to work on together with all departments in Chief Carlo Capano the city and society so we can wrap our arms around it and see what we can do to help. ...

So we work with different agencies like the fire department, the mayor’s office, the aldermen, the health department, parks and recreation, [the department of public works] — we all work together to try to help with the homelessness. …

With the added officers you’re going to see more cruisers out there and more officers out on walking beats, which are hopefully going to deter crime. … We also implemented and have been using the hot-spot policing philosophy, where we put officers in [high crime] areas at certain times of the day and days of the week … and also adding those officers to the drug unit and our investigative unit kind of follows up on the back end of things where when a crime does happen, we have more investigators that are available to look into that and handle those issues.

Does the city anticipate any difficulty in attracting enough qualified applicants to fill these slots?

You know what, I actually don’t. Since we’ve gone with Heather Hamel for our civilian [public information officer], she’s been doing a tremendous job assisting our training division with recruitment. We’ve been using social media, we’ve been using our website, we’re having seminars, so we’ve really ramped up our recruitThe recent spike in violent crime was a driv- ing efforts. … So I’m very optimistic that we are er for the aldermen voting to support these going to be able to get the numbers that we need. additional officers.

8 NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX State bird may head north

A new report from the Audubon Society is warning that climate change could force the purple finch, New Hampshire’s state bird, out of the Granite State toward Canada, at least during summer, in search of the cooler climate they have evolved to inhabit. The study, “Survival by Degrees: 389 Species on the Brink,” was released on Oct. 10 and says the purple finch could lose nearly all of its summer range in the Granite State if the planet warms by three degrees Celsius by 2100, the trajectory climate scientists say Earth will be on if no action is taken to curb global greenhouse emissions. Even under a more modest warming scenario of 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2100, the report hypothesizes the purple finch could inhabit only half of its current range in the state.

Score: -1 Comment: New Hampshire was hardly alone in this study, with 13 out 50 states being at risk of losing the ability to host their state bird for at least one season under a three-degree Celsius warming scenario.

EEE still a threat

The threat of Eastern Equine Encephalitis continues in multiple Granite State communities following the detection of the virus in a Francestown horse. An Oct. 11 news release from the Department of Health and Human Services said Francestown’s arboviral risk level was raised to high and the surrounding towns of New Boston, Bennington, Deering, Weare, Lyndenborough and Greenfield were all raised to moderate following the discovery of the infected horse. The incident is the second equine infection to be confirmed this year following the Aug. 28 discovery of an infected horse in Northwood.

Score: -1 Comment: According to DHHS, any horse that resides in or travels to New Hampshire during mosquito season is at risk of becoming infected with EEE, West Nile virus and Jamestown Canyon virus. Horse owners are encouraged to consult with their veterinarians about vaccination schedules and risk factors.

New Hampshire among the booziest brunchers

The Granite State ranks as one of the “Booziest Brunchers” according to the results of a recent study commissioned by Quote Wizard, a division of Lending Tree. In the results published on Oct. 3, between 2013 and 2017, New Hampshire was found to have the 15th highest number of drunk driving car accidents between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. According to the study, 11.8 percent of all alcohol-related car crashes in New Hampshire in the fiveyear span of the study were found to occur during brunching hours.

Score: -1 Comment: QOL would never begrudge you the occasional bottomless mimosa brunch, but be sure to call a cab once you pay the tab.

Cruisers stuffed with food donations

Concord and Manchester police helped collect nearly 8,000 pounds of food, according to a news release from the New Hampshire Food Bank.

Over the course of four “Stuff-A-Cruiser” donation events held outside grocery stores in Manchester and Concord, the Food Bank reports, enough food was collected to prepare 6,605 meals. The Stuff-A-Cruiser events were coordinated by the Food Bank as part of Hunger Action Month, a nationwide awareness campaign directed toward rallying residents and area businesses to work to fight hunger.

Score: +1 Comment: According to the news release, the New Hampshire Food Bank distributed more than 14 million pounds of food to its organizational partners in 2018.

Best Scrambler – Fran Tarkenton: There are better running QBs, but no one was more elusive behind the line of scrimmage. He was like Charlie Chaplin eluding everyone chasing him in silent films with eyes in the back of his head and instincts to duck, spin and run just as he was about to be clobbered. The best was being trapped about 40 yards behind the line before escaping by exhausting every Packer chasing him to throw a TD pass about 25 minutes after the play started. Only Russell Wilson (kinda) resembles him today.

Best QB Sneaker – Tom Brady: I noticed this because Drew Bledsoe was so bad at it. I’ll admit, besides Bart Starr’s dramatic sneak to win 1967’s Ice Bowl and Nashua’s Greg Landry somehow breaking free for an astonishing 78-yard run in 1970 nobody else comes to mind. But Brady’s great skill was on display after a rare stop on Thursday with two TD sneaks vs. the G-Men doing what Sony Michel never does on short-yardage runs, getting his head under the lineman so he couldn’t be stood up and pushed back, and then driving those legs for his 19th and 20th sneak TDs. Best Player from NH – Greg Landry: Solid as a 1970s Lions starter and backup and the first QB taken in the 1968 draft. The high was 18 TD passes in less pass-happy 1972 and, as that amazing sneak demonstrated, he could run, going over 500 yards twice and for 2,655 overall. Plus he wore high-top black cleats when no one but Johnny U still did. Loved that.

Best FG Ever – Adam V: The zero-visibility 47-yarder during a blinding blizzard to send it to overtime, where he won it on a (slightly) easier one to start the dynasty.

Honorable Mention: Saints kicker Tom

Dempsey’s shocking what-the-heck, give-ita-try 63-yard FG with a congenital clubfoot to beat Detroit as time expired in 1970.

Best First Overall Draft Pick: So many choices, but Peyton Manning, John Elway, the last two-way player Chuck Bednarick, Earl Campbell and OJ Simpson are all in the conversation.

Best First Overall Pick With an Actor Son – Tom Harmon: The 1940 Heisman winner from Michigan went first to the Bears. But eventually he wound up in L.A., where son Mark was born to play QB at UCLA before becoming Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS. Worst First Overall Draft Pick – Jamarcus Russell: Overweight and unmotivated.

That Raiders titan Al Davis gave him $60 million was proof he’d lost his fastball. Honorable Mention – Jay Berwanger: The first first-overall pick. But, whoops, he had no interest in the NFL and never played a down.

Best After-the-First-Round Pick – Tom Brady: Everyone had five shots at him before the Patriots lucked out at 199. Can you fire all 32 GMs? Honorable Mention: All-timers like Steelers MLB Jack Lambert (second), Joe Montana (third), and Roger Staubach (ninth round, because he owed the Navy five years) are worthy. But it’s Packers great Bart Starr going in 1956’s Round 17.

Best Undrafted Free Agent – Johnny Unitas: Undrafted out of Louisville, he retired as the QB GOAT and all-time TD pass leader at 290 after inventing the two-minute drill and winning three titles.

Best Backup QB – Earl Morrell: A starter in Detroit and New York, but he also backed up Famer QBs in Baltimore (Unitas), New York (Tarkenton), San Francisco (YA Tittle) and Miami (Bob Griese) and was traded for a fifth (Bobby Layne). He was 1968 MVP after replacing the injured Unitas and won nine straight when Griese went down in Game 5 during Miami’s undefeated season.

Best Post-Game Fight/Confrontation – Pats and Raiders: Raiders linebacker Matt Millen conking Pats GM Pat Sullivan right on the head with his helmet during a post-

game dust-up following the Pats’ 1985 playoff win over Oakland.

Worst (or is it Best?) Trade – Pats & 49ers 1985 Draft: Sullivan traded down to take BYU center Trevor Matich 12 slots after the Niners took Jerry Rice in their spot. The dumbest draft day move ever and it happened before Millen conked him so he can’t blame that. Honorable Mention: Jimmy Johnson’s bombshell heist of Minnesota that sent his star Herschel Walker north for 12 players/draft picks that laid the foundation for winning three SBs in four years.

Next, the (Chicago) Cardinals trading just Ollie Matson for nine L.A. Rams players.

Best Tackle by a Kicker – Adam Vinatieri: Now back with Dallas Herschel Walker was headed for a sure TD until Adam V chased him 40 yards before making a diving tackle at Dallas’ 20 as stunned onlookers watched an Olympic-class sprinter run down by a kicker.

Worst Fumble Recovery – Jim Marshall: The Viking DE snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in 1964 when he got turned around recovering a 49ers fumble and ran 66 yards to the wrong end zone, which became a safety after he flipped it out of bounds when he got there.

Best Fumble Recovery – George Halas: It’s pretty hard to outdo Herm Edwards in the Miracle in the Meadowlands. But the NFL and Chicago Bears founder deserves some props, so since Papa Bear’s 1923 record 98-yard scoop and score lasted 48 years he gets this one.

Worst Play Ever – The Butt Fumble: Again, pretty hard to outdo the Miracle in the Meadowlands. But Mark Sanchez running face-first on Thanksgiving Day 2012 into the backside of guard Brandon Moore leading to Pats DB Steve Gregory’s 32-yard scoop and score TD does.

You can YouTube many of these. Feel free, ’cause many are funny, amazing and hard to believe, especially the Tarkenton scrambles and Adam V plays. Enjoy.

11 SPORTS DAVE LONG’S PEOPLE, PLACES & OTHER STUFF

Londonderry lances Bedford The Big Story – Bragging Rights Game of the Week: They went to Londonderry after spanking Bedford 35-0 in a battle of undefeated football teams on Friday. It was far from a one-man show, but Cole Keegan took first star status with three touchdowns on offense and a big interception on defense. Making the thumping more impressive was that the Bulldogs are near impregnable at home having won 28 of 29 games going into the game. While both teams remain on track for the state playoffs, the 6-0 Lancers now have the seeding edge over 5-1 B-town.

Sports Glossary

Jimmy Johnson’s Heist: Minnesota got Herschel Walker and five picks (two thirds, a fifth and a tenth). Dallas got three SB wins via three number one’s, three numbers twos, a third and a sixth pick, which yielded all-time rushing leader Emmitt Smith, all-pro’s DB Darren Woodson and DT Russell Maryland and others.

Ollie Matson: Seven-time all-pro whose 12,799 all-purpose yards were second only to Jim Brown at retirement from a 1950s-’60s Hall of Fame career with L.A., Chicago (Cardinals), Detroit and Philly.

1985 San Francisco-New England Draft Day Trade: For their 16th pick NE got picks at 28 (C - Trevor Matich), 56 (DE - Ben Thomas) and 84 (DB - Audray McMillian). And not only did they pass on all-time TD, receptions and receiving yards leader Jerry Rice with their original pick, but they also passed on Hall of Famer Andre Reed at 84!

Bart Starr: Brady-esque game-managing five-time champ who could sling it when needed.

But was he clutch? Well, the 80.5 regular-season QB rating jumped to 104.1 while going 9-1 in the playoffs and being MVP of SB I and II. Miracle in the Meadowlands: G-Men up 13-10 on Philly with under 30 seconds left. All Giants QB Joe Pisarcik had to do was take a knee to run out the clock. But incredibly they went dive to fullback Larry Czonka instead and Joe botched the hand-off, which eventually bounded to DB Herman Edwards, who scooped it and ran 26 yards for the winning score as time expired to stun the whole place.

Beyond the galleries

Finding works of art in unexpected places

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

You don’t have to go to an upscale gallery or museum to see beautiful works of art. You can see them while getting coffee at a local cafe, visiting a sick friend in the hospital or checking out a book at the library. Art is all around; you just have to look for it.

Carol Reynolds, gallery manager for the New Hampshire Art Association, said she has seen art exhibits in hospitals, insurance companies, banks, restaurants, coffee shops, farms, churches and beauty salons.

“It can be intimidating to walk into a gallery,” she said, adding that some people who stop at NHAA’s main gallery in Portsmouth assume they must pay to get in.

“These [non-gallery] venues give the artists a new audience.”

In addition to its main gallery, NHAA curates non-gallery exhibit spaces, including the building at 2 Pillsbury St. and the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce in Concord; Church Landing, a lakefront lodging facility at Mill Falls at the Lake hotel in Meredith; and the Sheafe Warehouse in Prescott Park in Portsmouth.

“We’re so appreciative that we brought the art to [people] where they might more readily encounter it,” Reynolds said. “We hope to have more [offsite venues].”

Ed Doyle, board member for the Manchester Arts Commission, agrees that art that can be seen for free has “a greater chance to inspire.”

“When a business adds art to their exterior or interior, it improves the quality of life for the [patrons] and the employees,” he said. “It has an impact on everyone’s dayto-day life that is powerful.”

At Manchester City Hall, one of the HIPPO | OCTOBER 17 - 23, 2019 | PAGE 12

Manchester Arts Commission’s “biggest jobs,” Doyle said, is to supply the east and west wings with art.

“We use our connections to solicit artists and try to get the halls filled every month,” he said. “When that doesn’t happen, we have a permanent art installation which contains pictures and old paintings of the city of Manchester that we put up.”

Outside the City Hall doors, you’ll find all kinds of public art downtown, including wall murals, sculptures and even traffic signal boxes that have been painted by local artists.

“It seems like there are more and more murals and art-inspired things that people can see when they are walking around or driving home from work,” Doyle said. “I would love to see even more spread throughout the city and into the neighborhoods.”

Manchester isn’t the only city seeing an increase in public art pieces. Every year, Nashua accrues three new outdoor sculptures from the International Sculpture Symposium, an event where sculptors from around the world spend three weeks in Nashua creating sculptures that are to be permanently placed around the city.

There are currently 33 sculptures. The symposium, which is the only international sculpture symposium in the U.S. held in a city, with the sculptures being placed on public property, was inspired by another sculpture symposium: the Andres Institute of Art International Sculpture Symposium, held in Brookline every fall. Sculptures created during that event are placed around the Andres Institute’s sculpture park, which features a dozen wooded hiking trails.

“I’m a big fan of sculpture, and in particular the Andres Sculpture Park,” Doyle said.

“The opportunity to walk around there and see art in nature can be really inspiring.”

In some cases, public art can provide

healing and comfort. St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua recently partnered with ArtHub in Nashua, an art gallery collaborative between the Nashua Area Artists’ Association and other local artists, to bring new art exhibits to its main halls on the first floor every eight to 12 weeks. It’s a large project; according to manager of volunteer services Michele Canto, the halls can fit 40 to 60 works of art, depending on the size of the pieces.

“I think art speaks to people in so many different ways,” she said. “It can help to calm or center a person’s journey, whether it’s through a healing process or a loss. It brings a moment of peace and joy and can help with anxiety.”

Many local libraries also have art galleries or art on their walls. Rachel Gualco, who runs the art gallery at Nashua Public Library, said featuring art has always been an important part of the library’s mission, and that the gallery space was intentionally included in the original construction of the building in the 1970s.

“I think the library sees itself as a community center [for people] to come together and share new ideas, and those ideas can come through a lot of different media, whether it be books, movies or visual arts,” Gualco said. “We choose to display visual art as a different modality for people to connect with each other, and I think [the gallery] serves us well.”

The gallery has around 75 feet of space across six walls, she said, which includes a glass display case for 3D art.

“It’s immersive,” Gualco said. “You walk through and stand at one point and see art on all the walls, and it’s really cool.”

Gualco said many people unfamiliar with the library don’t know that it has an art gallery until they visit, which gives the artists a chance to show their work to an audience that includes “all walks of life,” and “not

just art-buyers and educated art people.”

“You don’t have to be educated about art to appreciate it. You may just see a piece of art and think to yourself, ‘That’s thought-provoking,’ or ‘That’s a pretty picture,’ and maybe it puts a smile on your face.” she said. “It’s important to make [art] more accessible to people, so they get [to experience] that positive energy on a typical day-to-day.”

Executive director of Red River Theatres Angie Lane agrees that having art outside of the galleries gives artists a different kind of exposure. The theater has a small community gallery curated by a volunteer, featuring artists from the greater Concord area, with exhibits rotating monthly.

“SUMMER REDS”

By Emily Moore of Deerfield On display in the exhibition “Color, Strong and Soft” at the Concord Chamber of Commerce, now through Dec. 26 “I was inspired by the beautiful reds in these osteospermum flowers. I enjoyed exploring the interplay of the shapes of the flowers and the background shapes I created around them.”

OUTDOOR FLEA MARKET “People wander out from the movie, and they definitely linger for a while [at the art wall],” Lane said, “and we sell 65,000 tickets a year, so the amount of faces seeing these pieces is a great way to be able to support the artists in the community.”

Unlike most art galleries, which take a commission on the art they sell (sometimes as high as 50 percent or more), venues like the library and the theater will often conduct a transaction for artists if there is a person who wants to buy their art, without taking any profit.

“We will have a price list on hand for anyone who is curious, so if they ask about the artwork, we can say yes, it’s for sale, and connect them with the artist directly,” Gualco said

WORK OF ART

“RUE DE SEINE IS PARIS”

By Mike Johnston of Stratham On display in the exhibition “Art from The Journey” at the building at 2 Pillsbury St., Concord, now through Dec. 26 “Paris de Seine is a favorite street in Paris where I lived. My wife, Jean Bernard, was an education specialist at UNESCO for several years. My first interest was the movement of people through the archway and then cutting across the street and through the arch at the Academy of Fine Arts. I returned often to make drawings from the same spot. The street angling off to the right follows the old wall of Paris. I use the light reflected in the windows to connect the ancient city with the later expansion. I enjoyed the personality the shutters and the shadow of the shutters created. The window cleaner appeared by chance one day.”

about Nashua Public Library. “We aren’t a gift shop; we don’t promote the profit of anything, but artists certainly do find patrons here.”

Lane spoke similarly about Red River Theatres.

“We aren’t in the business of art,” she said, “but we do see some good sales go out, and it’s lovely when that happens.”

WORK OF ART

Traffic signal box mural, part of the

“THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX” PROJECT

By Aimee Cozza of Salem Located in front of 1000 Elm St., Manchester “The work was based on a former digital work called ‘Nebulaic,’ which was a piece that was created for my senior project at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in 2012. I applied with the space theme specifically because I thought a space scene could be stitched end-to-end well, meaning the design has no start and no end. Space itself is interesting because it’s abstract without being considered much like abstract art; the images we see from NASA are wonderful abstractions of color and shape that leave the mind imagining what could possibly be beyond. I thought a space-themed utility box would be entertaining to see in an urban landscape, like seeing a black hole or portal that opened up on the street and you can see the alien worlds on the other side.”

WORK OF ART “DRUMMER”

By Alan Shulman of New London On display in the exhibition “Art from The Journey” at the building at 2 Pillsbury St., Concord, now through Dec. 26 “I’d recently been listening to a lot of rock ’n’ roll music from late Beatles through Sting with some Brubeck jazz and Bernstein Latin-influenced music thrown in and drew a black and white line drawing to capture the energy I was feeling from these different drummers. Then, I fleshed it out with vivid acrylic paint on canvas in order to convey both the energy of the drummer’s motion and, by means of iridescent color in wave-like patterns, the sound that the drummer makes with drums and cymbals.”

“UNDER SECRET ATTACK”

By Patrick Carter of Albany, Georgia On display at the Amherst Town Library through October “[The piece title] creates the acronym U.S.A. This was my first oil painting after many years of primarily working in pen and ink. I was very happy to be painting again. I was painting this during the 2012 presidential election and I thought I’d never experience a crazier election like that one, until 2016 came along. During this painting I was listening a lot to a new artist named Ryan Bingham. Some of his songs expressed how he was very displeased with America, so coupled with his music and the craziness of the 2012 election, the painting started taking on an American color scheme along with the chaos of events our country presented to the world. Representing our leaders, the raven flying high above was basically picking the flesh off of our bones. We were basically sleeping with the enemy.

We were ‘Under Secret Attack.’”

ARTS Art is in the air

Nashua ArtWalk Weekend features new KidsWalk

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Nashua’s 15th annual ArtWalk Weekend will be more family-focused this year with its first-ever KidsWalk, where kids can participate in a variety of hands-on, creative activities around the city.

The event, happening Friday, Oct. 18, through Sunday, Oct. 20, features more than 100 local and area artists showing and selling their art at their studios and other locations in downtown Nashua, as well as live music and performances, food, artist demonstrations and more.

“It’s a celebration of the arts in every medium and everything that downtown has to offer,” project manager Wendy Fisher said.

The weekend starts, for the first time, with a special kickoff celebration on Friday evening at St. Joseph Hospital’s atrium, where there will be entertainment, art-making, food and drink and a new exhibition organized by the Nashua gallery ArtHub that is part of the hospital’s new “Healing through the Arts” initiative.

“We really want to put an emphasis on all the new components that we have this year,” Fisher said.

The KidsWalk will take place on Saturday and Sunday during the ArtWalk, with activities at the Hunt Building, the Picker Artists Collaborative, the Nashua Public Library and other venues downtown. There will be a quilting station, where kids can

design their own quilt squares, which a professional quilter will stitch together to make a complete quilt. (The quilt will be auctioned off at the seventh Meri Goyette Arts Award Luncheon in the spring). There will also be a “starry night slime station,” a “mini squishy station,” and a “you rock” rock-painting station, plus puppet making, a create-your-own stuffed sushi activity, a drumming circle and recycled percussion obstacle course and a student art exhibit called “What is Amazing?”

“We really wanted to make [the event] more accessible for families this year,” Fisher said. “We really want to bring out [the kids’] creativity and promote how accessible

art can be for kids and how art can help kids with learning.”

Other special events happening during the ArtWalk will include a new Mini Psychic Fair featuring five local visionaries, an artisan fair, a discussion with Marianne O’Connor about her book Haunted Hikes of New Hampshire, craft demonstrations by the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and hands-on activities at the MakeIt Labs.

The visual artists set up around the city will represent a variety of media, such as jewelry, painting, pottery, woodworking and more.

“I’ve noticed since I’ve lived here that Nashua has been growing artistically … and I wanted to be a part of that,” Pritchard said.

Pritchard will be showing and selling her miniature watercolor paintings, which depict characters from pop culture as well as landscapes and points of interest around Nashua.

“I like to paint my own town, places where I’ve been or places I’ve seen,” she said. “I like painting little intimate areas that only people from town would know, like Greeley Park or the Riverwalk Cafe, and people seem to really like those.”

After ArtWalk hours, there will be an ArtWalk After Dark, where you’ll find signature ArtWalk cocktails and live music and performances at downtown restaurants and other venues.

Fisher said she encourages people to look at the schedule online and try to plan out their weekend beforehand.

“There’s just so much going on,” she said. “There’s something for everyone that weekend.”

Goffstown hosts annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off and Regatta

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

It’s been 20 years since Jim Beauchemin, a member of the New Hampshire Giant Pumpkin Growers Association, started looking for a way to get more use out of the giant pumpkins that he entered into pumpkin weigh-offs in the fall. He created his own solution — the Goffstown Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off and Regatta, now a two-day event that has morphed into a fall festival with all kinds of pumpkin-related fun.

This year’s event takes place on Saturday, Oct. 19, and Sunday, Oct. 20, with the regatta happening on Sunday.

“It started with the simple idea to carve pumpkins into boats, and now it has grown and grown, and stuff got added over time until it turned into what it is now,” said Charity Frost, executive director of Goffstown Main Street, which hosts the event.

For the regatta, community groups, schools and businesses choose the most suitable giant pumpkins from the weigh-off and carve them out, turning them into fully functioning boats. There are typically six to 10 boats in the race, but that number can vary depending on the size and shape of the pumpkins in the weigh-off. Most of the pumpkins are at least 800 pounds but are buoyant enough to hold a person.

After carving out the pumpkins, the teams design the structural aspects of their boats, like balancing them, usually with sandbags, so the 26 The Gardening Guy Advice on your outdoors.

boats do not roll over, and installing a seat, often a milk crate, for the paddler to sit on.

Next, the teams decorate the boats with paint, cardboard and other materials to fit a theme. This year’s theme is “A Goffstown Christmas Nightmare.” Costumes matching the theme are also encouraged.

“Last year’s theme was ‘Magic,’ and the year before that was ‘Story Book,’ so it’ll be fun this year to have a more spooky, creepy theme,” Frost said.

Each team will designate one person to sit in their pumpkin boat and paddle it down the Piscataquog River. The first boat to make it under the Goffstown bridge wins and will receive a trophy. There is also an award for the best pumpkin design, the winning team of which will get to keep a traveling trophy until next year’s regatta.

Saturday will kick off at 7 a.m., with a Great Pumpkin Hunt, with prizes. Then, the giant pumpkins will arrive on the common, along with a variety of kids’ field games and demonstrations of boot camp, dance and self-defense. There will be pumpkin carving, vendors, food, a bounce house, an art show, apple slingshots on the river, pumpkin painting, pony rides and a beer tasting. Other highlights will include a doggie costume contest at 10 a.m., the giant pumpkin weigh-off at 10:30 a.m., the crowning of the prince and princess at noon, Goffstown’s Great Talent contest at 1 p.m., and the pumpkin cook-off at 2 p.m.

On Sunday, the 10K race starts at 8:30 a.m., followed by the giant pumpkin carving demonstration at 10 a.m., and many of the same ongoing activities that are happen-

Enchanted Halloween NH Audubon hosts not-so-spooky trail walk

What are you waiting for?

tmorin@hippopress.com

The 37th annual New Hampshire Audubon’s Enchanted Forest will be serving up Halloween themed fall fun for nature lovers of all ages on Friday, Oct. 18, and Saturday, Oct. 19.

The long-running All Hallows Eve-styled event will take place at the McLane Center in Concord and features a jack-o’-lantern illuminated walk through the woods where attendees will come face to face with human actors portraying some of the wild creatures of New Hampshire.

“It’s this really interesting concept of this family-motivated Halloween event that kind of ties into the fall atmosphere and the autumn forest,” said Meg Hamblen, an Audubon volunteer who is coordinating this year’s event. “It’s essentially everything you want out of the perfect family-friendly Halloween night. The main draw is the jacko’-lantern-lit walk in the woods. It’s a pretty easy hike, and there’s these different spots in the woods where … skits are acted out for the kids.”

In keeping with the Audubon’s focus on the environment, each year the Enchanted Forest has a conservation-focused message.

This year, Hamblen said, the event will be centered around animals that can be found in the average backyard.

“There’s one funny skit where a bird and a bear are arguing at a bird feeder over who gets to eat the seed, which happens in everyone’s backyard,” said Hamblen.

Along with the skits, Hamblen said, attendees can also expect storytelling around a campfire, crafts, live music, raffles, refreshments, games and the chance to interact with some real wild animals.

Despite the jack-o’-lanterns and Halloween flavor of the event, Hamblen said the

“We are not scaring anybody,” said Hamblen. “It’s a fun-filled family night with a focus on not-scary fun that ties the Halloween spirit into nature education.”

Pardon me for saying so, but it’s time to get ready for winter. That’s right. A few days ago (or was it weeks?) we were swimming in the ocean and lounging in the sun. But we’ve had frost, and I’ve seen serious snow as early as Oct. 15. Here are some of the things on my list: Clean up the vegetable garden. Harvest the last of the root crops, pull the weeds and mulch everything with leaves. The key here is this: pull the weeds.

Annual weeds will die with the cold, of course, but most have produced seeds by now that will guarantee that their progeny will appear next year. When you pull them, try to avoid knocking loose the seeds. Be gentle.

Perennial weeds and grasses have serious roots that are hard to pull, and will survive the winter. If you can get them out now, you will have less work next spring. In the spring the soil will be wet, the air cold. We will still have some nice warm days for weeding before winter.

Use a good weeding tool to get all the roots out. I like the CobraHead weeder to tease out the roots and comb through the soil. It’s a simple hook that slides through the soil easily and lifts up scraps of root. You can suppress weeds in the spring by putting down old newspapers and covering them with straw or leaves.

Insect pests and fungal diseases can be minimized next year by getting rid of plants this fall. Tomatoes generally have at least some leaf blight, and squash family plants often have both insects and fungi by the end of the summer. Potato bugs may have visited your plants.

So get rid of these plants by putting them in the household trash or by adding them to a pile of brush you will burn after snowfall. I suppose you could drag them off to a far corner of the property, but I know that potato bugs, at least, will hike a long way for a free lunch.

Clean up the flower garden. This entails cutting back most flowers and pulling weeds. I say cut back most flowers but leave a few tall ones for the birds — they like seeds of sunflowers, black-eyed Susans and purple coneflower, among others. Those tall plants also provide a little winter interest for you silhouetted against the snow.

Instead of cutting back your perennials with your pruners, try using a serrated knife. Next yard sale you see, stop and buy a steak knife.

They work great. Grab a clump of stems and saw them off. I suppose one of those folding pruning saws would do it, too — but wear gloves and be careful using one. They are very sharp.

I’ve used hedge clippers, too, for fall cleanup, but often old clippers don’t do a good job on heavy stems; things get stuck between the blades. I have a pair that works well made by Barnel, their B1000L hedge shears.

Should you rake the leaves out of your flower

beds? That all depends. If you leave the leaves, they will help suppress weeds in the spring, and will eventually decompose. Still, many gardeners like the look of a clean flower bed. The choice is yours. Me? I generally leave them.

Another fall task involves improving the soil, particularly in the vegetable garden. Adding a layer of compost after weeding is always a good plan. Add an inch of more of compost and stir it in with a tool, and it will stimulate your soil to become more biologically active by adding and feeding soil microorganisms.

Many garden centers sell compost by the truckload for a price considerably more reasonable than by the bag. Dairy farms often sell aged manure or hot-composted manure (which is even better). Some will deliver it to your garden. If you keep your raised beds in place each year, just add the compost to the beds; don’t waste it on the walkways.

Fall is a great time to get your soil tested.

Your state Extension Service offers this service; just go online and download the form. If you have never had soil tested, pay extra and get tested for heavy metals if you grow edibles. Houses built before 1978 (when lead was banned in paint) often have lead in the soil nearby, which is dangerous. A good soil test will not only tell you if your soil is deficient in minerals, it can tell you if it has adequate organic matter and a soil pH that works for your plants.

For a more in-depth soil test, you can do a test with Logan Labs (loganlabs.com) and for a fee of $30, talk with a soil scientist about the results.

Last, rake the leaves, or better yet, chop them with the lawnmower and then rake them up.

Chopped leaves are fantastic mulch, and a real boost to your soil. Earthworms love them, and will bring the organic matter down into the soil.

When you cut the lawn at the end of the season, lower the blades a little because long grass is more susceptible to winter fungal problems.

There are plenty of other tasks to do in the garden, so play hooky on a sunny day and get back out into the garden. You’ll never regret doing so.

I now have pricing for the Viking River Cruise I hope to lead from Paris to Normandy and back next June 19 to June 26. Email me for the details at henry.homeyer@comcast.net. I plan to do some gardening talks in the evenings.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Neighbor revved up over Mustang owner’s late night habit

By Ray Magliozzi

Dear Car Talk: Is it necessary to rev your Mustang several times before parking it in the garage? My neighbor insists on doing it, especially at 10:30 at night!

— Dee

No, it’s not necessary, Dee. Have you seen those TV commercials asking men if they have “Low T?” “Have you been feeling fatigued lately? Notice an increase in body fat? Rev your engine excessively?”

That might be what your neighbor is suffering from, Dee. He’s also suffering from NCM; Nostalgic Carburetor Mythology.

In the old days when cars were carbureted — the 1970s and earlier — all carburetors had something called a float bowl. The float bowl is not to be confused with a dessert you’d order at Friendly’s.

The float bowl is where the gasoline was stored inside the carburetor while waiting to be released into the cylinders.

There was a myth (probably passed down from your neighbor’s grandfather

to his father to him) that if you revved the engine before shutting it off at night, you would fill the float bowl with gasoline and therefore make the car easier to start the next morning.

But that was hogwash, even back then. Well, maybe it was true with his great-grandfather’s Pierce Arrow, but certainly not since.

First of all, the float bowl is already full when you shut off the car. It was designed to stay full, and it would certainly be full when you’re idling in your driveway, not demanding a lot of fuel.

Second, when you start the car the next morning, the fuel pump starts working the moment you crank the engine. So even if your carburetor is old and leaky and you lost some gasoline from your float bowl overnight, the fuel pump would immediately top it up and provide fuel for starting the car.

If your neighbor has a Mustang that’s 50 years old, he’s working off a myth that was never true in the first place. And if he has a Mustang built in the ‘80s or later, then he’s got fuel injection, and even the debunked myth doesn’t apply to him.

Either way, there’s absolutely no mechanical reason for him to do this, Dee. Leave a copy of this column on his wind-

shield and suggest he talk to his doctor.

Dear Car Talk: I have a 2004 Subaru Outback, 6-cylinder. It makes a high-pitched humming noise, like millions of crickets, after I drive at freeway speed, but only after about 10 minutes on the road.

It stops when I brake, then resumes.

Oh, the Outback does have 272,000 miles on it. — Joy

Congratulations, Joy. It’s nice to see you marking the 50th anniversary of the moon landing by driving this car the equivalent of to the moon and part way back. Unfortunately, all you’ve got to show for it is a brake pad noise.

It sounds like you have a brake pad that’s sticking, causing it to rub against the disc rotor. Normally, the brake pads sit right against the disc rotors, and even touch a little bit, but not enough to slow down the car, or make any noise. Then, when you press the brake pedal, the brake caliper causes the pads to squeeze the spinning disc rotor, which is what stops the car.

Based on your description, it sounds like one of your calipers is sticky. So when you first start driving the car, every-

thing is OK. But after about 10 minutes (and, more importantly, several applications of the brakes), the caliper fails to retract all the way, and leaves a pad pushed up against the rotor.

That’s what’s making the sound of a million crickets — the pad continually rubbing against the disc rotor as the wheel turns. When you actually use the brakes, and the pads are pushed tightly against the rotors, the noise temporarily goes away.

You should get this fixed, Joy. It’ll eventually get worse. The danger is that if your brakes are always lightly applied, you can overheat the brake fluid. And if your brake fluid overheats and boils, it can’t transmit hydraulic pressure, and your brakes won’t work.

Ask your mechanic to check your brakes. In particular, ask them to check for a sticky caliper. But when you go, bring some smelling salts with you. On a car this age, especially if the brakes have been neglected for a long time, you could easily end up needing $1,000 worth of brake work. You could need pads, rotors and a caliper rebuild.

But if that’s what it takes to make the car safe, do it, Joy. Visit Cartalk.com.

I wish I had known that I could do something like this as a career — that I could turn a hobby that I’m really passionate about into a job. I kind of fell into higher education completely by accident. … I spent a lot of time building a career, climbing the ladder in a field that I really didn’t have a lot of deep-seated interest in. Thinking back to my time working in higher education, I was always on the internet looking at watches during my downtime when I should have just been pursuing that as a career from the start.

Fall is in full swing, and 603 Brewery is marking the turn of the season with an annual outdoor festival — its third overall, but the first since moving all of its operations to a Beer Hall at Woodmont Commons in Londonderry. The brewery’s fall festival will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19, and will feature a pig roast, food stations, live music, games and more.

According to Morgan Kyle, marketing and events manager for 603 Brewery, outside vendors like food trucks and caterers have been brought in to serve food at previous fall festivals. But this is the first one featuring everything provided by the brewery, which is utilizing its new full-service kitchen staff (though its regular food menu will not be available during the event). A Courtesy photo. large area outside will extend the patio, which will be filled with several food stations under tents.

“We’ve got the big grassy area and the road directly across from the patio licensed for the

full day, so we’ll be able to accommodate … more people at a time and reduce lines,” Kyle said.

Executive chef Keith Girard will be overseeing a pig roast, offering sandwiches with coleslaw and barbecue sauce. Other food stations will include a grill station with burgers, Italian sausage subs and street corn; a taco station with filling options that include Mojo chicken, chipotle barbacoa braised beef and mixed vegetables (three tacos per order); and a fryer station with curly french fries, onion rings, and bite-sized fried dough pieces with a chocolate dipping sauce.

This year’s festival is also notable for the first ever release of a new beer, an Apple Brandy Barrel Aged Belgian Tripel, available in cans only. The beer has been aging since December 2018.

“It’s really, really limited.

There will probably only be about 30 cases of it on sale,” Kyle said. “It’s probably going to last through the weekend and then it will be gone. … I would say to definitely be here as early as you can if you want some of it.”

Make it maple

NH author presents new book on backyard sugarmaking

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

New Hampshire is home to several trees that can be tapped for maple syrup — in fact, you might have one or more varieties right out in your backyard and not even know it. A new book offers step-by-step instructions for making your own maple syrup — from how to identify trees to gathering all of the necessary tools — interspersed with 30 original recipes for maple-infused foods and drinks.

Sweet Maple: Backyard Sugarmaking from Tap to Table, released last month, took Lakes Region resident, blogger and homestead sugarmaker Michelle Visser nearly three years to write. She’ll be presenting her book at a signing and discussion at Gibson’s Bookstore in Concord on Thursday, Oct. 24.

Visser, whose family moved to the Granite State from the mid-Atlantic about five years ago, said it was her husband Bill who first had the idea to tap maple trees on their property. She was originally going to self-publish the book, detailing her experiences and what she learned along the way during the family’s first couple of years of sugarmaking.

“I had blogged about it a few times … and I was finding that it was striking a deep chord with people,” she said. “We realized there was not really a good resource out there for homesteaders, for people just trying to collect sap in buckets and boil in their backyard.”

Structurally, she describes the content of Sweet Maple as part cookbook, part memoir, and part how-to. There’s information on how to identify tappable trees, how to place a tap and how to boil, but Visser said the book’s instructional content comes from more than just her family’s personal experience.

“We went to several local sugarhouses and talked to people about what they were

doing … and I also talked to experts at the maple research centers at the University of Vermont and at Cornell [University] for information about different trees,” she said.

“What’s crazy is that there is at least one of each of the trees that I list in the book that is in every state in the nation. Even in Hawaii, you can tap trees to make syrup.”

Visser also provides specific instructions on how to build your own DIY reverse osmosis system — directing readers to a link on her blog, “SoulyRested,” at soulyrested.com/ ro — and general tips all throughout the book, such as how to keep sap from boiling over, how to connect your tubing and how to prevent your tap from leaking. Dozens of easy maple-infused recipes are included too, like maple scones, maple hot chocolate and maple Sloppy Joe sandwiches, several of which were created with the help of her four daughters.

Visser will discuss her own personal experiences learning to tap trees, invite attendees

WITH CHRISTINE CATINO

Christine Catino of Derry is the owner and executive chef of Kiss the Cook Macaroni & Cheese (Facebook. com/kissthecookmacandcheesetogo), a new business she launched last month that offers homemade traditional and gluten-free macaroni and cheese free of artificial ingredients. After owning her own catering business for 22 years, which offered comfort foods like fried chicken, lasagna and calzones, she decided she wanted to focus on perfecting one item that all of her customers would order. Working out of Creative Chef Kitchens in Derry, Catino uses Barilla-brand elbow pasta and four cheeses — Monterey Jack, Colby Jack and two types of sharp cheddar cheeses — for her macaroni and cheese. She also offers a gluten-free macaroni and cheese and is currently working on a vegan option. Kiss the Cook Macaroni & Cheese is at the Salem Farmers Market (224 N. Broadway, Salem) every Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; starting on Nov. 3, the market will move indoors to the Mary A. Fisk Elementary School (14 Main St., Salem). You can also order onepound, three-pound, seven-and-a-half-pound or 25-pound party trays of macaroni and cheese online through the Facebook page. Pickups are available at Creative Chef Kitchens if ordered at least a day in advance, or Catino can ship orders frozen overnight or deliver to Derry and its surrounding towns.

Game On!

Sometimes you want to spend hours in the kitchen, making an elaborate dish or trying a new recipe. Sometimes you want a recipe that requires very little time. Last week’s recipe for spiced pumpkin pudding required a bit of effort. It wasn’t an all-day affair, but it took more effort than the five minutes required of instant pudding.

This week’s recipe is definitely on the simple side — if you’ve already made your batch of homemade pudding (if you missed it, find the recipe on my blog at thinktasty.com, or in last week’s Hippo). Note, I highly recommend you make homemade pudding for this dish. Because of the simplicity of this dessert, you want a pudding that is rich, decadent and screams delicious. You just won’t get that out of boxed pudding.

Once you’ve taken the time to make the pudding, the rest of this recipe is a breeze. In fact, the hardest task will be to decide how you want to serve the trifle. When I made this recipe, I opted for individual trifle dishes so that each person gets his or her own pretty parfait.

However, you also could make one large trifle (in a large, clear bowl, of course), which would make a beautiful display before serving. Either way, the steps are the same.

A few notes about this recipe: First, take the time to transform the walnuts from plain to

Combine walnuts and maple syrup in a small bowl, stirring well.

Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stopping and stirring every 30 seconds.

Transfer walnuts to a parchment paper-lined plate, spreading into a thin layer. (Be careful, the walnuts are very hot!)

Chill in refrigerator for 10 minutes.

While walnuts chill, place graham crackers in a sealed plastic bag, and crush using a rolling pin.

maple-coated. It adds a nice bit of sweetness to the trifle. Second, don’t worry about crushing the graham crackers into teensy crumbs. A mixture of crumb sizes makes for nice texture in the dish. Third, definitely keep the whipped cream as an optional topping added when serving. I found the dish too sweet with whipped cream, but others really enjoyed it.

HIPPO | OCTOBER 17 - 23, 2019 | PAGE 38

Many find venturing into French wines can be intimidating. The labels are written in French and typically follow a format of dispensing all sorts of confusing information.

What will the wine be like? Will the red be robust to pair with a hearty dish of a winter pot roast, or will it be lighter to pair with poultry?

Will the white wine be dry with citric notes to go with shellfish, or will it be creamy to pair with cheeses? So many questions!

France is divided into a number of regions, which in turn are divided into several départements, or governing districts. Most of France grows grapes, turned into wine, with notable exceptions being the northernmost regions such as Bretagne, Normandie and Nord-Pasde-Calais, which abuts Belgium.

This column addresses wines from two regions: Burgundy and Bordeaux. Besides Champagne, these regions are most familiar as producing excellent wine with histories of wine going back to the Romans. Burgundy is situated in the center of France, just south of Champagne, and is home to several smaller wine-producing départements. Bordeaux is situated along the west coast of France in Aquitaine and straddles the Gironde River valley.

Wines from this region are known as coming from the left or right banks of the river; however, the region extends beyond the immediate banks of the river.

Our first wine is a white Burgundy. Burgundy consists of a series of plateaus that form the watershed for three rivers: the Loire and Seine, which flow northerly to the Atlantic, and the Saône, which empties to the Rhône River and ultimately the Mediterranean. Burgundy is largely rural with farming providing the basis of the economy from wine to grains to raising dairy cattle. The region is also home to industry, including electronics, pharmaceuticals and food processing. The underlying soils consist of limestone deposits. These soils tend to give the wines a minerality not seen in California adaptations of the red and white varietals originating from this region.

Antonin Rodet Mâcon-Igé En Thuzot, 2016 (originally priced at $24.99, with a Price Busters sale price of $12.99) is a classic example of what a French white Burgundy is: 100 percent chardonnay. Originating in the southern boundaries of this region, this wine is totally unlike a California chardonnay. It has a nice golden yellow color with just a touch of green to it. The nose is full of fruit such as honeydew, along with sweet fresh almonds. On the palate the same notes prevail, with that slight minerality from the soils coming through, providing a long, creamy finish. This wine will go well with poultry, grilled pork, salads and blue cheeses.

Our second wine is a red Bordeaux. Bordeaux wine can be intimidating and expensive, but that need not be the case. The Bordeaux region is divided up into 38 sub-regions, with many different appellations such as Meduc and Graves on the left bank, and Fronsac, Pomerol and Saint Émilion on the right bank. Beyond that, the wines of this region have several classifications, which result in wide pricing variations, but this discussion can be taken up in another column (or several other columns).

Château Forlouis Montagne Saint-Émilion, 2015 (originally priced at $41.99, with a Price Busters sale price of $20.99) is a blend of 80 percent merlot and 20 percent cabernet franc. This is an opportunity to introduce one to a classic Bordeaux-style blend. Montagne-Saint-Émilion is the largest “satellite” title of the Saint-Émilion appellation or grape-growing district. It is not “mountainous” but in fact hilly and planted principally with merlot (75 percent) and cabernet franc (15 percent) and to a lesser degree cabernet sauvignon (8 percent). The soils are clay and limestone, with traces of sandy clay and gravels. The Château estate, of 30 acres, planted with 30-year-old vines, lies at the heart of the Montagne appellation. To the nose the wine has notes of dark cherries and plums. The wine has great structure, full of oak-aged tannins with touches of dark chocolate. It is interesting that one reviewer noted to drink it from 2023, which explains the dominance of tannins. So, if you wish to drink it now, decanting is recommended. If you wish to cellar it, lay the bottle on its side to keep the cork damp and store it in a cool, dark place, perhaps a basement, where temperatures will fluctuate without dramatic swings from the mid-50s to the upper 60s.

Try these wonderful French wines, priced most attractively at these Price Busters offerings. You will enjoy the experience!

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Jack Klatt, It Ain’t the Same (Yep Roc Records)

I’m typically very rough on fedora-hat blues-folkies, but this one’s OK. This Minnesota native doesn’t come with the aura of someone who’s had an easy life of it and is content to play in empty coffeehouses; indeed, he’s like a cross between Eric Clapton and Sufjan Stevens, with all the attendant curveballs you might be pleasantly surprised to run across in such a space. He’s definitely an old soul, someone you wouldn’t mind having around if he crashed your party and started strumming half-joke songs. His tunes have a mature, relaxed feel to them, things that exhibit a hybrid Steely Dan/Randy Newman/Roy Orbison quality, which isn’t an easy find these days, being that most guys his age prefer to bemoan their lots in life or fixate on life’s minutiae.

He’s corralled a perfect group of session players as well, like John James Tourville of The Deslondes on pedal steel, and NRBQ bassist Casey McDonough.

Being that he’s not earned a Wiki entry yet, it’s the right time to get on board with this dude. A — Eric W. Saeger

Wallis Bird, Woman (Antifragile Music)

In step with the other LP mentioned this week, this one’s a notably innovative take on its genre, that being the rebelliousbut-safe-for-normies girl-centric alt-rock space. I think it’s safe to say that this Irish singer may be the millennial answer to PJ Harvey, maybe even Kate Bush if she keeps at it. After an uneventful acoustic guitar intro, album opener “As the River Flows” morphs into an urgent, hand-clap-backed, multi-tracked-vocal anthem that seems to have been custom-made as an anthem appealing to the entirety of the #MeToo/#BlackLivesMatter Twitter space in one shot. As I said, there’s a PJ Harvey angle in there, but no, it doesn’t go off the rails in any Ani DiFranco direction. No, there’s a lot of decent melody everywhere you fast-forward, and it’s definitely got an echo-’90s feel to it, and is perhaps ahead of its time on that score; once the Trump era is over, we’ll assuredly have no shortage of women vying to become the queen of protest-pop (Bird would get my vote).

A+ — Eric W. Saeger

CBD OIL

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • You’ve gotta be kidding, we already need to discuss the albums that’ll be coming out on Oct. 18? That was fast. I mean, why wait, let’s just have Christmas tomorrow and I can get back to the beach in a couple of weeks, right? So, whatever, our first entry for the week is Third Eye Blind’s sixth album, called Screamer. You may ask, why was this album ever made, since the singer swore the band was never going to make another full-length, like they were just going to stick to touring and releasing short EPs? Well, short answer is I don’t know. In fact, I don’t know why they didn’t just quit years ago, being that the single “Semi-Charmed Life” was all they were really good for. (Oh come one, Gen Xers, you can take a joke, right? Reality bites, man! It does!)

Whatever, where were we. Right, a single, from this album! Ah, there’s one, the title track. Let’s just listen to the YouTube of this and … hey, awesome, no spam! Usually YouTube likes to remind me I bought a resistor component to fix my car’s heater five years ago, and would I maybe like to visit NAPA Auto again and buy some completely random car stuff (absolutely not, not ever). So yeah, Alexis Krauss from Sleigh Bells is a guest on this track. She hasn’t sung anything yet, except for some sexy woo-woo-woos or whatnot. Now it’s like muscular indiemeets-boyband. I like it but I’m getting bored with it. The guitar sound is “rockin’” but plasticky. Now that girl is singing stuff, and it makes me think of that time Sydney Sierota from Echosmith did that one-off with Goo Goo Dolls. This song is OK I guess.

• I don’t know anything about the band Foals except they’re from the U.K. They have a new album, called Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 2. Will I try to get educated and listen to Part 1? No, I will not. Yuck, their new song “Into the Surf” sounds like Bauhaus trying to be a sad Elton John. It’s music for sad incels who watch those 10-minute Sarah McLachlan “won’t you save this helpless little puppy” commercials all the way through. I can’t continue listening to this.

I hereby punt.

• One of my Facebook friends loves the band Battles, possibly because she has good taste, although in truth I suspect that she just has a crush on singer Mike Patton and doesn’t know the title of even one song. Anyway, that’s neither here nor there, and Battles is awesome, and their new LP is titled Juice B Crypts, so now let’s go find out what level of awesome we’re dealing with here. Okay, the YouTube for the album consists of a two-song bit combining “A Loop So Nice” with another tune, “They Played It Twice.” Weird synth samples. Quite the drum-n-bass rinseout going on. Really cool, if you like that stuff. It’s middle-tier awesome.

• OK, Jim James, who are you again? Oh, the singer from My Morning Jacket. His new album, The Order of Nature, has songs on it, including “Set it to Song,” which features an orchestra. It sounds like a young Willie Nelson playing ukulele-rock with the Boston Pops. All set with that. — Eric W.

the other side, this event might have turned out different. He writes, “In all of these cases, the parties involved relied on a set of strategies to translate one another’s words and intentions. And in each case, something went very wrong. In Talking to Strangers, I want to understand those strategies — analyze them, critique them, figure out where they came from, find out how to fix them.”

In Talking to Strangers Gladwell focuses primarily on the areas of sexual assault and racial discrimination, believing that in today’s world that’s where the most conflict and misunderstanding take place. He writes that times have changed, we no longer live in villages or even in extended family households. While our independence has made us very mobile and free, it has also taken away our ability to learn group communication skills — not just words but actions and even micro-movements. Gladwell contends that we have become “talking to strangers” illiterate.

In true Gladwell fashion, this book is absolutely fascinating. Each essay will make you look at those around you a little differently. You’ll want to look up some of the cases described in order to get more information on exactly what happened. At times you’ll shake your head at the progression of a train wreck that you as the reader can see coming but that the participants in the story did not.

Talking to Strangers is not an in-yourface kind of book. The lessons offered are subtle. This may not be the easiest book to read, mostly for the reason that it is composed of separate stories that tie together with an overarching theme — you won’t find an exciting hero’s journey in this one.

But if you like to learn, if you like to open your thinking to a different perspective, then you will thoroughly enjoy this informative and entertaining book. A — Wendy E. N. Thomas

You don’t read Gladwell for the plot twists. Instead you read this author in order to have your mind blown away. Gladwell wrote such eye-opening books as Blink, What the Dog Saw and The Outliers. He takes a concept that we all accept as routine and then turns it on its head so that we cannot unsee it from his newly proposed perspective.

He’s done it again in his newest book, Talking to Strangers, where he presents interesting and enlightening facts in the context of vignettes about human behavior as it relates to communication. Gladwell is a word nerd; he can take a story and weave facts and alluring bits so seamlessly that you don’t even realize what you have learned until after you have finished. He is the most brilliant of teachers, sneaky with his lessons, while being trusted because of his command of the subject.

Gladwell loves spies and he loves spy novels. It makes perfect sense that he would use his knowledge about spy behavior as a way to teach us that even tiny actions can have big consequences. In a series of essays, he takes on certain situations from history and gives us plenty of examples of how spies work while communicating under people like Fidel Castro and Hitler.

He then moves his behavioral examinations to regular people in extraordinary events.

He writes of the depressed poet Sylvia Plath and of Brock Turner, the college swimmer accused of raping a young woman, and he even presents the Sandusky child sex case.

He looks at the actions of each of the players in these stories as well as how those around them acted.

What you end up getting is a complex study and fascinating story of human behavior — when behaviors and assumptions work to help someone move forward and when they act as a blockade to progress.

Another name for this book could have been “At First Glance.” Gladwell explains why a meek-acting person is not perceived as a threat, while someone who behaves oddly often is, regardless of their character. It’s in the use of those impressions and behaviors that, Gladwell says, we can adapt our responses to certain situations and learn to act with control.

The reason for the book, Gladwell contends in the Introduction, was that he had long been moved and intrigued by the Sandra Bland story. Bland was a young African American woman who was pulled over for failing to signal a lane change. Behavior of both Bland and the police officer escalated — communications ended. Bland was taken to the police station and put in a holding cell. She eventually committed suicide.

Gladwell contends that if both parties had been able to read the signals and hear the language both verbal and non-verbal from

Four days at the movies

NH Film Festival returns with 100+ films, new venue

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

For four days, Portsmouth will be the home of all things film as the New Hampshire Film Festival returns Thursday, Oct. 17, through Sunday, Oct. 20. Now in its 19th year, the event is the largest and longest-running film festival in the state and attracts around 10,000 film lovers and filmmakers for a weekend of screenings, panels, workshops, parties and other activities.

Screenings and events will be held at several venues throughout the city, including The Music Hall Theater and Loft, 3S Artspace, the Moffatt-Ladd House and, new this year, The Press Room.

“We’re excited about adding The Press Room, which will offer attendees an opportunity to get some food and something to drink,” Festival Executive Director Nicole Gregg said.

“It’s more of a dinner-and-a-movie experience.”

More than 100 films including feature narratives, feature documentaries and shorts of all genres will be featured. The films are selected by a screening committee based on their quality and appeal to a New Hampshire audience.

The filmmakers come from all over, but a separate New Hampshire series featuring films created by local filmmakers or affiliated with the state will be held on Thursday.

“This year is a huge year for New Hampshire [films],” Gregg said. “[The festival] isn’t typically that heavy on New Hampshire film, but this year it’s just loaded with films with a New Hampshire theme, even beyond Thursday.”

Filmmakers Juston McKinney (actor, writer, producer) of Newmarket and Stan Pavuk (producer) of York, Maine, will have their short dark comedy Suck It Up shown during a shorts block in the New Hampshire series and in another shorts block on Sunday.

“It’s about a down-on-his-luck middle-aged guy who ends up running into an unlikely, unorthodox life coach,” Pavuk said.

“They’re both desperate, so they pair up, and that’s what the movie is about,” McKinney added. “It’s a buddy film.”

For Pavuk and McKinney, showing their film at the festival is an opportunity to seek investors and producers who will help them turn the film into a full-length feature, which is their ultimate goal.

“It doesn’t have a beginning, middle and end like a regular short film,” Pavuk said.

“It’s the first 20 minutes of what the full feature, which is already written, would be,” McKinney added. “It leaves you hanging, wanting to see the full movie.”

New last year, the festival will bring back its series of 360-degree films, where the audience experiences the film through virtual reality headsets.

Many film screenings will include also include Q&A sessions with the filmmakers, and people will have a chance to meet filmmakers at various panels, parties and special events.

“I think that’s what makes a film festival more special than an average night at the theater,” Gregg said. “It’s a chance to hear directly from the filmmakers themselves about the film-

making process, and to ask questions after the film.”

For the filmmakers, McKinney said, it’s usually their first opportunity to see a larger audience’s reaction to their films.

“They may laugh at things that you didn’t think were funny, and they may not laugh at where you thought the jokes were, so you just never know,” he said. “It’s great to get that instant feedback.”

Gemini Man (PG-13)

Will Smith reminds you of his kicky-punchy comic-adventure days in Gemini Man, an underbaked Diet Bourne action movie.

When government assassin Henry Brogan (Smith) shoots a guy in the neck instead of in the head as intended, he decides it’s time to hang up his rifle and retire. But then he learns that his last assignment actually didn’t involve a terrorist but a scientist. Before he can really decide what to do with this information, men come to kill him and he is soon on the run with only his “burn bag” and Danny Zakarweski (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), the intelligence agent who had been watching him. Henry asks an old friend, Baron (Benedict Wong), to help him figure out why he was told to kill a scientist and why the government appears to want him dead. Meanwhile, bad guy Clay Verris (Clive Owen), the head of a shady mercenary organization, sends his deadliest assassin after Henry — a 23-year-old man he calls Junior.

Junior chases Henry through the streets of Colombia, giving Henry a good look at the man who, he quickly realizes, looks and fights exactly like he did at 23.

So how did Clay Verris come to employ a shimmery Fresh Prince as an assassin? Does taking a movie to, like, Budapest and Colom-

Jexi feels like a slightly better than average Netflix movie that somehow made its way onto the big screen, which is to say that “basically free” feels like a good price for this slight but OK comedy while asking people to leave their homes and pay for tickets seems to be a stretch. C In theaters now.

Supersize Me 2: Holy Chicken!

Morgan Spurlock returns in a movie that is just as much a look at squishy feel-good woke marketing as it is a look at Big Chicken (the slice of the agriculture industry that grows chickens for the nation’s biggest chicken sellers).

Spurlock decides to open his own fast food restaurant selling chicken sandwiches and both handcrafts some artisan marketing for this endeavor (what’s the story of his restaurant? how can he give the maximum health halo to foods that aren’t all that good for you?) and decides to grow his own “free range” chickens (which, as he demonstrations, is less “range” than it sounds). Along the way, he learns about the difficulties of the chicken farmers who supply birds to the big chicken processors.

The movie is more entertaining than educating. B- This movie was released Sept. 6, according to IMdB, and is now available for home viewing.

sus-Will Smith fights are, they aren’t exciting enough to excuse the rest of this nearly twohour movie, which otherwise drags. And, honestly, the fight scenes themselves aren’t the very best — despite having good moments like that motorcycle-versus-guy scuffle; there were too many times when I found myself unable to tell which Smith was doing what to which Smith and who was supposed to be winning.

The character of young Will Smith is also a pretty imperfect one, inside and out. Physically, he’s not so Uncanny Valley that the effects are all you can see but he never has quite the presence in the physical space or the facial expressions of non-CGI actors around him. I feel like the compensation for that was direction to “pout big and a lot,” which, sure, I can feel that sullenness coming through the screen but it doesn’t make him seem more real.

Fully human Will Smith is fine but he doesn’t get so much to do. It’s nice to see the glints of late 1990s comic-action Smith that come through, but the movie doesn’t give us nearly enough of that or any other speed of Smith.

Instead there is kind of a constant low simmer of the characters, as if the movie is waiting for the fight scenes to really turn them up.

Gemini Man will be a perfectly adequate thing to watch when you search through your streaming services for untaxing, low-speed action some cold winter day. C+ Rated PG-13 for violence and action throughout, and brief strong language. Directed by Ang Lee with a screenplay by David Benioff and Billy Ray and Darren Lemke, Gemini Man is an hour and 57 minutes long and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Ode to Joy (R) Martin Freeman, Morena Baccarin.

A million years ago (2001-2003, according to IMdB), Freeman was Tim, the Jim of the U.K.’s The Office. That rom-com vein of humor is on display in this movie about Charlie (Freeman), a man with a disorder that causes him to fall unconscious when he experiences any great emotion, but particularly joy — thus does he try to avoid looking at happy children or beautiful cityscapes and falling in love. When Francesca (Baccarin) starts dating his brother (Jake Lacy), the situation is perfect for Charlie — he gets to be near a woman he dearly loves with just enough pain that he can interact with her without passing out. The movie is light but sweet.

Dennis O’Hare plays Kendrick’s boss, who tells her to push Moses into committing an arrestable offense, which is easier said than done, especially when he eventually attempts to serve as an FBI informant on their own “criminal” operation. The movie plays with some fun satire elements but doesn’t quite gel into the fully formed, laser-sharp commentary on the war on terror and American criminal justice that it could have been or probably wanted to be. B- This movie was released Sept. 27, according to IMdB, and is now available for home viewing.

The Day Shall Come (R) Marchant Davis, Danielle Brooks.

Anna Kendrick is an FBI agent looking to help her field office recover from a bad bust by bringing down Moses (Davis), a man heading a movement that wants to bring down the U.S. government. Except that Moses’ movement consists of him, maybe four followers and his wife Venus (Brooks), who mostly just seems to be going along out of love.

This movie puts the chocolate of the Batman saga in the peanut butter of late 1970s-early 1980s cinema, in particular The King of Comedy, for this aggressively aggressive look at the Joker’s origin story that really likes itself and all the Serious Fi-ulm work that Phoenix is doing.

Actually, those adults take a backseat to the teen characters who help get a Yeti from their home in Shanghai back to his home on Mount Everest. This slightly scary, above-average pretty movie isn’t standout but it serves as A-OK entertainment for your 8- to 12-year-old. B *Downton Abbey (PG) Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery.

Plus most of the other core Downton-ers and a few newbies who are part of the “King and Queen come to Downton” storyline that is the only thing that really happens in this “warm blanket and a cup of tea” cozy episode-like movie. B *Hustlers (R) Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu. A group of exotic dancers develop a multi-layer scam to separate unlikeable Wall Street-types from their money in this totally fun crime caper movie that earns a B+ in part because of the A+ performance from Lopez as the larger than life ringleader Ramona.

The Addams Family

The Addams Family (PG)

The Addamses are plagued by a home makeover TV show host and the terrors of junior high in The Addams Family, a less-than-expected animated telling of the Addams story.

Morticia (voice of Charlize Theron) and Gomez (voice of Oscar Isaac) have found relative peace in a haunted mansion covered by a fog bank near a New Jersey swamp. But when developer and aggressive home makeover show host Margaux Needler (voice of Allison Janney) drains the swamp and attempts to renovate and quickly sell some 50 homes in the town of Assimilation, she makes the Addams house visible to the world. And now the family — including kids Wednesday (Chloë Grace Moretz) and Pugsly (voice of Finn Wolfhard), Uncle Fester (voice of Nick Kroll), disembodied hand Thing and manservant Lurch (voice of Conrad Vernon) — can see the world, which is of particular interest to Wednesday, who has been, as she says, homecaged. After she meets Parker (voice of Elsie Fisher), Margaux’s daughter who isn’t so keen on all this “being like everybody else” stuff, Wednesday decides that she too wants to go to junior high and find a new group of people to psychologically torture.

This is either a rather ghoulish movie for young kids or a rather tame movie for Addams fans — which puts this movie’s ideal audience where, 10-year-olds with a taste for the macabre? I’m sure there are plenty such kids out there but I’m not sure who else is going to enjoy this movie. (Common Sense Media,

which is a solid source for viewing age guidelines, puts this movie at 7+, which I think is younger than I’d take a kid to this movie unless monsters are their thing. Also, that might be a little young to introduce kids to the true horror that is junior high.)

This being an Addams Family movie, there are plenty of fun elements. Wednesday Addams is such a great character, the hyperliterate tween/young teen (here she’s 11? 13?) with gothy tastes and an appreciation for messing with people, be it her parents or whatever she feels is the power structure in any situation.

The scenes of her challenging the junior high’s queen bee or driving her mother bonkers by wearing a pink jumper are rather delightful.

The monster stuff is fun, though not quite as visually interesting as I expected. There is ultimately kind of a flatness to the animation here, which is surprising considering how fantastical the Addams universe can be.

And here, as in past Addams Family movies, the villain is someone who has become monstrously obsessed with normality. Sure, the movie is a bit heavy-handed with the literal virtual-torch-wielding mob. But the basic ideas about being oneself are always good.

There are solid parts in The Addams Family movie; it just never quite gets stitched together and zapped alive. C+ Rated PG for macabre and suggestive humor and some action, according to the MPAA. Directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon with a screenplay by Matt Lieberman, The Addams Family is an hour and 27 minutes long and distributed by MGM Pictures.

Nick Offerman brings cautionary, funny All Rise to Concord

• Baroque: A 50th anniversary celebration from symphonic rock pioneers Renaissance includes a retrospective of their rich catalog.

Co-founded by guitarist Jim McCarty after the Yardbirds broke up, the group was active from the early ’70s to the late ’80s, performing with orchestras and defining a genre with their original sound, until lead singer Annie Haslam went solo.

They re-formed in 2009 and have toured since.

Thursday, Oct. 17, 8 p.m., Tupelo Music Hall, 10 A St., Derry. Tickets are $50 at tupelohall.com.

• Innovation: Boston-based indie folk band Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards, composed of four singing string players, moves in many directions. Their most recent LP, California Calling, was harmony-rich and slyly modern, punctuated with bursts of fiddle and other rootsy elements. Cortese promises a new release in 2020 will be “full of groove-centric pop songs that make you want to shake your body.” Friday, Oct. 18, 8 p.m., Riverwalk Café, 38 Railroad Square, Nashua. Tickets $15 at riverwalknashua.com.

• Introspection: The official grand opening at Bank of New Hampshire Stage includes Heather Maloney, who aspired to opera before turning to baring her soul in song. Her just-released album, Soil in the Sky, includes a sweet duet with Dawes singer Taylor Goldsmith. The new 300-seat space is winning raves from performers, among them Tony winner Anais Mitchell, who played a sold out show there recently. Saturday, Oct. 19, 8 p.m., Bank of New Hampshire Stage, 16 S. Main St., Concord. Tickets $12 at banknhstage.com.

• Laughter: An uncanny skill at impersonation and relatable stories helped Corey Rodrigues break out as a comic. In 2017 he won the Catch a New Rising Star, Funniest Comic in New England and Big Sky Comedy Festival contests. He’s worked in film and television; most recently Rodrigues marked his first appearance on the Conan O’Brien show, soon after being named one of TBS’s Comics to Watch at the New York Comedy Fest. Wednesday, Oct. 23, 9 p.m., Shaskeen Pub, 909 Elm St., Manchester. See coreyrodrigues.com.

Nick Offerman’s comedy is a lecture limned in laughter. Stephen Colbert joked about feeling like he should take the SATs after having him as a Late Show guest. On his current show All Rise, Offerman blends storytelling, singing and “some light dance” for an entertaining evening that imparts wisdom and philosophy, from the virtues of being a good steward of the planet to the joys of working with one’s hands, to his passion for his wife, actress Megan Mullaly. Offerman spoke with the Hippo about the new endeavor, his breakout role playing Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation, woodworking, and his affinity for agrarian Wendell Berry (he co-produced the documentary Look & See: Wendell Berry’s Kentucky).

Are you and Ron the same guy?

All the building blocks are similar. We’re woodworkers, we’re both [attracted to] Megan Mullaly, we both love to eat meats and drink scotches. The difference is that he’s kind of a super human comedy character who is able to live his life by six rules. … I’m just much more complicated and human.

A lot of the messages in your show are about rising above consumerism and are inspired by Wendell Berry.

I’ve been reading him for 30 years and I can’t help but allow his common sense to seep into the type of life that I emulate. My comedy show is mainly making fun of all of us, how stupid we human beings are. We have the wherewithal to have consciousness, understand science and develop technology which makes our lives more comfortable and luxurious in many ways. But because we’re humans, we’re like, ‘Eh, let’s not worry about the receipts or the bills we’re racking up.’ We sort of use the planet as a giant credit card, where we’re like, ‘Let’s just keep spending it, and, you know, eventually we won’t have to worry about paying the balance until the final red notice comes in the mail.’ Unfortunately it’s not a credit card, it’s a limited ball of resources.

You talk about the relationship to the land that’s been lost with corporate agriculture, and one of your antidotes is working with your hands.

For you it’s woodworking, but you’ve said that anyone can do anything to maintain a relationship with the planet. Is that in your show?

It sort of runs through everything that I do. …

Let’s say you become obsessed with knitting, which is a fine and noble pursuit that I encourage. You can’t help but to begin to understand, ‘Oh, this is wool. Where does this come from?

Who made this yarn?’ By working with any sort of raw materials, you sort of realign your relationship with the planet and the seasons and the cycles of produce and the cycle of birth and life and decay. … If you think about a town, if the town just orders everything they need from Amazon, then it’s easy to understand that they never have to worry about their watershed or the health of the soil. Everything just shows up; but once you begin to work with raw materials, even if it’s just working with a CSA and having your produce delivered, or working with a local butcher, then you say, ‘Oh, why are these steaks so good?

Why are these egg yolks so bright orange?’

And you’re going to make this all funny for the crowd at Concord?

That’s my challenge, to take on the bleak state of things. The opening song is called, ‘We F***ed it Up.’ You know, that’s my bag; I’ve learned that when I’m generating my own content whether I’m touring as a comedian or I’m writing books, the key to churning out healthy material is to look in the mirror and admonish myself, then broadcast that to those who are willing to listen around me, which is my audience, and I say, ‘OK, we’re all pretty dumb and here’s why.’ Then maybe if we pay more attention to our neighbors, maybe we have a shot at pulling ourselves out of this mess.

In a conversation you had with Ellen Burstyn, she said, ‘It’s dire now, but this is a moment

that’s going to help us.’ You were optimistic about that; is that still true for you?

Yeah. I’m in the band playing as the Titanic goes down, except I would pull out a saxophone and jazz things up a bit. Otherwise, when people turn to despair ... sometimes I will say to them, ‘Well, I guess we should all just kill ourselves then.’ Given our options, I would much rather put on a happy face and say, ‘OK, we’ve made a terrible mess of things, and that just shows me all the work we have to do.’ There are exciting young people; there’s Greta Thunberg and there’s David Hogg, all these young activists that are making incredible progress. That fills me with optimism.

As I travel the country there are people everywhere who have never lost the sort of Wendell Berry mindset, and that fills me with hope that eventually we can bring common sense back to the rule of law and say, ‘OK, we’ve spoiled ourselves terribly since the industrial revolution, and now we’ve got to take a few steps back so that our grandkids might also be able to take the train.

58 NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Unclear on the concept

Jennifer Colyne Hall, 48, of Toney, Alabama, was distraught when she called the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office dispatch on Oct. 2, so officers were sent to call on her. Public information officer Steven Young told The News Courier the officers first approached Hall’s landlord, who told them she had been “acting strangely” and hinted she might be on drugs.

When the officers spoke to Hall, she produced a clear bag from a baby wipes container and told them, “I want this dope tested” because she feared the methamphetamines in the bag had possibly been tainted with another drug.

Asked if she had consumed the drugs, Hall said she had, but couldn’t remember when. She was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and was held at the Limestone County Jail.

Inexplicable

• A front-door camera in McDowell County, North Carolina, twice captured a bold loiterer on the home’s porch: a naked man. Sheriff’s officers arrested Denny Lynn Dover, 45, in early October after identifying him by his distinctive tattoos, The McDowell News reported.

Dover had visited the home in April and again on Oct. 3, when he attempted to break in. He was charged with first-degree burglary and held on $50,000 bond. Dover isn’t new to a life of crime: He also has convictions for arson, drug possession, larceny, peeping and breaking in.

• The Louisville Courier Journal reported that Knox County (Kentucky) Sheriff’s deputies arrested Barrett L. Sizemore, 48, of Heidrick, on Oct. 4 for theft of a “honey wagon” — a septic cleaning truck — in Barbourville. The truck went missing on Oct. 2, and authorities located it in a barn in Laurel County, not far from where Sizemore was arrested. He is being held on a $10,000 bond.

Unintended consequences

• An unidentified 89-year-old woman who has had previous trouble with trespassers on her remote property outside Piru, California, was hospitalized on Oct. 5 after her attempt to shoo away a group of nine people went wrong. After spotting the interlopers, she warned them away and fired two rounds from her rifle into a hillside to “emphasize her point,” Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Eric Buschow told the Los Angeles Times. As the group retreated, the woman pursued them in her pickup truck to be sure they were leaving and pointed her gun at them. One man tried to talk with her, but she couldn’t hear him, so he opened the door of her truck and grabbed the gun barrel. “In the process,” Buschow said, “she fell out of the truck (and) unbeknownst to (the man), the truck was still in gear, so the rear wheel drove over her leg, continued to roll and went off a cliff.”

She was airlifted to a hospital with injuries to her ankle, and neither party wanted to press charges, so no arrests were made.

• An unidentified man in Phoenix became angry at his upstairs neighbors for making too

much noise on Oct. 6. He first tried banging on their door around 11:20 p.m., but then returned to his apartment and fired several shots into his ceiling — one of which apparently ricocheted and hit him in the face, according to the Arizona Republic. Although no one else was injured, the shooter was taken to the hospital in extremely critical condition.

Bright idea

Springfield, Missouri, authorities have come up with a clever campaign to curb pet waste in the downtown area, the Associated Press reported. Piles of dog poop are being tagged with recycled paper flags sporting messages such as: “Is this your turd? ‘Cuz that’s absurd,” and “This is a nudge to pick up the fudge.” The city noted it spends $7,500 a year to pick up 25 pounds of waste per week from downtown parks and parking lots.

Awesome!

Open your wallet: If you have enough scratch, you can buy a customized pair of Nike Air Max 97s dubbed “Jesus Shoes” from a Brooklyn, New York, company called MSCHF. Introduced online Oct. 8, the shoes have 60ccs of holy water from the Jordan River injected into the soles “so you can literally walk on water,” noted Cosmopolitan, a crucifix in the laces, red insoles harkening to Vatican traditions, and a Matthew 14:25 inscription. They are also scented with frankincense and sport a godly white and light blue colorway. The Jesus Shoes originally sold for $1,425, but are now fetching anywhere from $2,000 to upwards of $11,000.

Least competent driver

In downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on Oct. 8, an unnamed elderly driver managed to flip her Honda Accord and injure herself, her passenger and several pedestrians while trying to ... parallel park. According to CTV News, as she tried to back into a parking spot, the driver accelerated, jumping the curb and slamming into an immigration office before coming to rest on the sidewalk. Vancouver Police Sgt. Aaron Roed called the incident “a strange accident” and wished all the injured “a speedy recovery.”

Chutzpah!

Sure, there are probably plenty of stolen goods for sale on Facebook Marketplace, but according to authorities in Oklahoma City, Vicki Treaster, 36, went big: She’s been charged with stealing a metal garage and posting it for sale for $1,500. Coincidentally, the original owner was browsing Marketplace when he saw Treaster’s ad, which included photos of two people taking his building apart, and notified police.

KOCO reported Treaster changed her story several times when questioned by police about how she came to own the building, according to court documents. Treaster was charged in early October with grand larceny.
