GRANITE VIEWS FRED BRAMANTE
Keeping college valuableNot long ago, it was
common thinking that a college degree was the ticket to a good job, a good life and a piece of the American dream. Today, that premise is
being questioned.There are numerous reasons for this, first
and foremost being the cost. Students are graduating from college with record debt. If their diplomas bring them good jobs with healthy salaries and a path to a successful life, the cost is not a big concern. But, too often, that’s not what’s happening.
A study of recent college graduates showed that 51 percent of those who were employed had jobs that had nothing to do with their college major. If this is the case, then why spend tens of thousands on college? Many students for whom a traditional college path may have been logi-cal a few decades ago are now considering less costly and, often, more practical options.
Southern New Hampshire University Dean of Education Ray McNulty says that what employers want to know is, “Do you have the skills to do this job and work well with others?” A college diploma may provide the evidence that employers need, but today there are oth-er, less costly ways to provide those answers.
Studies show that internships lead to jobs. This should not be a shock. Internships pro-vide businesses with the experience of working directly with students. Businesses discover firsthand if a person has skills and fits with their team. Those internships are the focus of our 1,000 Mentors for Manchester project for high school students.
Another option is online learning. SNHU’s College for America provides its students with job-embedded online learning for a fraction of the cost of traditional college. It’s no wonder that the U.S. Department of Education asked SNHU President Paul LeBlanc to go to Wash-ington for three months so that they could better understand why SNHU is succeeding while many other colleges are struggling.
A year or so ago, I served on a panel with the former provost of the University of New Hampshire. She stated that New England colleges were predicting an 18-percent reduc-tion in applications over the next five years. That same challenge is facing colleges all over America. The college model needs to adapt. Things like Prior Knowledge Assess-ment and Competency-Based Learning will play a larger role in the evolution of colleg-es. The institutions that fail to redesign their model risk having students choose to learn elsewhere.

Primary updateOhio Gov. John Kasich became
the 16th Republican running for president when he announced his candidacy at Ohio State Uni-versity in Columbus on July 21. He returned to New Hampshire hours later for a town hall meet-ing at Rivier University in Nashua. Bloomberg Politics reported his late entry into the race may help his chances for getting included in one of the presidential debates hosted by Fox News on Aug. 6.
The Union Leader scheduled its Voters First Presidential Forum for Aug. 3, which positions it to be the first GOP debate in the season. The newspaper criticized Fox for only permitting the top 10 candidates in the polls to participate in its debate. The Voters First Forum plans to include a wider field of candidates. It will be held in Saint Anselm Col-lege’s New Hampshire Institute of Politics and broadcast on C-SPAN, NH1 and iHeartRadio’s streaming service. The Union Leader origi-nally threatened to host its debate on the same day as the Fox debate. The paper is predicting its forum will have a larger audience than Fox’s debate.
Meanwhile, several Republi-can candidates have lambasted the recent nuclear deal with Iran. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham called the treaty a his-torically irresponsible misstep, Politico reported. Former Penn-sylvania Sen. Rick Santorum said it legitimizes Iran and places too much trust in a nation that nev-er keeps its promises. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker vowed to roll it back if elected and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush called it “appease-ment diplomacy.” During a town hall meeting in Franklin, the Union Leader reported New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said the deal was the “worst thing this president has done.”
Billionaire celebrity Donald Trump made some inflammato-ry comments about Arizona Sen. John McCain while in Iowa when he told a crowd McCain was only called a war hero because he was captured by the Vietnamese dur-ing the Vietnam War. Veterans and Republicans have fired back. For-mer Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush have called the statements a dis-qualifier for the party nomination.
When asked if McCain is owed an apology during an ABC interview, Trump said “No, not at all.”
Hillary Clinton hosted her first town hall meeting in Dover, where she fielded questions from residents. The Concord Monitor reported the event showed a more informal side of the former Secre-tary of State, who is often criticized for being too inaccessible.
Frank Guinta challengesThe latest financial filing by
1st District Congressman Frank Guinta shows a significant drop in fundraising, likely due to the recent campaign finance scandal that led many top Republicans to call for his resignation. The Union Leader reported Guin-ta received $11,679 from 16 individuals in the last quarterly report. He also refunded a total of $7,000 to two of House Speak-er John Boehner’s political action committees. Guinta still received about $102,000 from various PACs. As his support appears to erode even among Republicans, the Concord Monitor reports Dan Innis, Guinta’s 2014 Repub-lican primary challenger and former dean of the UNH busi-ness school, has resigned from his position as finance chairman of the state GOP and signaled an interest in running against Guinta in the September 2016 primary. Innis, an openly gay former hotel owner, finished second against Guinta in 2014 and lost by about 5,000 votes. Guinta, for his part, has said he plans to run for reelec-tion. He hosted his first town hall meeting since the news that the Federal Election Commis-sion found he received an illegal campaign donation of $355,000 from his parents in 2010. NHPR reported the residents at the town hall in Alton didn’t ask Guinta any questions about the FEC rul-ing. He held a second town hall in Plaistow on July 20. Guinta con-tinues to maintain the money was his, though documentation pro-vided to the press has so far failed to prove this. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, New Hampshire House Speaker Shawn Jasper and Senate Pres-ident Chuck Morse have called for the congressman to resign and GOP Chair Jennifer Horn has said she’s lost trust in him.
Gatsas reelectionManchester Mayor Ted Gatsas
has announced he’s running for reelection to lead the state’s largest city. NHPR reported three others have already filed to challenge the three-term mayor and the common platform is attracting businesses and developing the local econo-my. The other contenders include Alderman Joyce Craig, former Alderman Patrick Arnold, who ran against Gatsas last year (and lost by 6 percentage points) and Jawed Alibaba Shaikh, the owner of the Alibaba food store on the West Side. The elections are nonparti-san, which means Republicans and Democrats alike will compete for the top two spots in the September primary.
Gas pipelineKinder Morgan has modified
its natural gas pipeline proposal by shrinking the diameter of the pipes from 36 inches to 30 inch-es. The Union Leader reported this would also mean a smaller com-pressor station in New Ipswich. But environmental activists say this changes nothing when it con-cerns the disruption caused by the construction and the potential risks to the environment. A hearing was scheduled for July 21 before the Public Utilities Commission fol-lowing a challenge made by Pipe Line Awareness Network of the Northeast against a shipping agree-ment between Kinder Morgan and Liberty Utilities. Meanwhile, Gov. Maggie Hassan has sent a letter to federal regulators asking for more public scoping meetings than the three currently planned so more
residents affected by the Kind-er Morgan pipeline will have a chance to weigh in.
Felonies firstGov. Maggie Hassan signed a
bill into law that starts a pilot pro-gram intended to streamline the state’s criminal justice system. The Concord Monitor reported the bill, known as the “Felonies First” bill, will send felony cases straight to
superior court rather than going through district courts where felo-ny cases typically start. Proponents in law enforcement says this cuts out unnecessary delays but oppo-nents among defense attorneys say the district courts are used to vet cases to see if there is suffi-cient evidence. The new program will start in Cheshire and Strafford counties in January and extend to Belknap in July 2016.

PLANET FITNESS’ NH EMPLOYEESA bill introduced late in the budget-writing process and fast-tracked by the Republican-led legislature to alter the state’s tax code was vetoed by Gov. Maggie Hassan. The AP re-ported that the president of Planet Fitness and former Gov. Craig Benson (who’s a cur-rent franchisee of 35 Planet Fitness gyms in New Jersey) told a Senate committee that if the law didn’t change to avoid an increase in taxes on certain increases in value from trad-ing stocks, the company would likely move its Newington headquarters out of state. The company said the headquarters employs 150 to 175 people.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMSIn order to fund domestic violence preven-tion programs in the state, Gov. Maggie Has-san signed a bill to raise the marriage license fee by $5 to $50. NHPR reported it’s the first time the fee has increased in more than 20 years. Most of the license fee ($43) will go to the grant program while the remainder will help local communities process the marriag-es. The bill also created a $50 fine to be lev-ied against anyone convicted of domestic vi-olence, which was made a distinct crime with the passing of Joshua’s Law last year. Half of the state’s homicides involved domestic vio-lence last year.
The assistant to former Weare Police Chief John Velleca is suing the town. The Concord Monitor reported Jennifer Posteraro is claiming she was retaliated against with a hostile work environ-ment when she filed protec-tive orders against Velleca, with whom she allegedly had a brief affair.

Delayed but not derailedAfter legislative wins and losses, commuter rail plans keep chugging
By Ryan [email protected]
Despite the absence of the $4 million that commuter rail advocates had hoped would be in the state capital budget, officials say the project to connect a rail system from Low-ell, Mass., to Nashua and Manchester is still moving forward.
Studied to deathSoon after Senate budget writers voted
against funding the next phase of the project — which, according to New Hampshire Rail Transit Authority Chairman Michael Izbicki, is the project development phase — Gov. Maggie Hassan signed two other bills meant to open up new sources of cash to pay for the major infrastructure project. One of those bills creates a study committee to look into public-private partnerships for transportation projects. This follows not one but three other studies done for the project.
But, Izbicki points out, not all studies are created equal. The first study, which conclud-ed in 2009, cost $25,000.
“That was a feasibility study to look at the project and determine if it was even worth moving into the next study,” Izbicki said. “After the feasibility study, it was determined that this is a viable project.”
Engineering firm Parsons Brinckerhoff was commissioned to conduct the study, and it was paid for by a combination of public and private enterprises.
“That money was raised through ... the Manchester airport, Southern New Hamp-shire Planning Commission, the Town of Bedford, and [others],” Izbicki said.
This was followed by a second study, which cost $125,000 and was conducted by engineering firm TranSystems.
“We went into the second study, which was the more in-depth, detailed study. [It was] like the conceptual design type of study,” Izbicki said.
This time, Izbicki said, the funds were entirely raised from private sources.
The most recent study was released in December 2014. Dubbed the NH Capitol Corridor Study, it was performed by a third engineering firm — URS — and cost about $4.7 million, according to Izbicki. He char-acterized the study as an “alternative analysis study” that accomplished a number things.
“That [study was] to determine, ‘Is rail the best option for further engineering and con-struction grants?’” Izbicki said.
It looked at a number of alternative options like stretching the rail corridor to Concord or throwing out the whole train system in favor of expanded bus lanes. Ultimately, the con-sultants concluded that rail to Manchester was not only an economic boon to the state by creating an estimated 5,600 jobs by 2030, but the construction would be likely aided by federal grants.
The project would cost a total of $246 million to build, but after federal grants and the contribution from Massachusetts, New Hampshire would be on the hook for $72 mil-lion. After it’s built, the system would have a net operating cost of $1 million each year. More than 3,000 people would ride it every day with about 650,000 riders annually.
Paying for that marathon study was done mostly through federal grants. It was awarded a $1.9 million grant from the Federal Tran-sit Administration and another $2.25 million from the Federal Railroad Administration.
“It’s the first time that’s ever happened on a commuter rail project in the history of this country, where the FTA and the FRA fund-ed a study for the same project,” Izbicki said.
He said the remainder came from the state through a 20-percent match.
What the Senate committee voted against funding to the tune of $4 million was not for another study. It was supposed to help the project move on to the next phase.
“The next phase of this project is what they call ‘project development,’” Izbicki said. “We’re done with studies. We’ve studied this to death. And each study proves that this proj-ect should move forward.”
The next phaseProject development, or the preliminary
engineering phase, moves the state out of the speculation, estimation and projection process and into making actual plans for building the rail system.
“To start doing surveys, to start doing the operational plans, to do track layouts, control layouts, pinpoint where the sta-tions are gonna be exactly...,” Izbicki said. “It’s also to start applying for grants with the FTA and the FRA.”
Izbicki said he was disappointed the state chose not to fund project develop-ment but he’s confident he can raise the money from other sources. He hopes to raise about $2 million through private fundraising events before putting out a request for proposal. After awarding the bid, he plans to raise the remainder either from private sources again or from the state.
After preliminary engineering is com-plete, the next phases are final engineering and then construction.
In the meantime, the two rail-relat-ed bills signed by the governor aim to open up new ways to fund the infrastruc-ture project, including the creation of the study committee that will look at enabling legislations to allow public-private part-nerships. This way, the state can fund major projects with fewer taxpayer dollars and more buy-in from industry. Izbicki said the study committee is expected to be formed within the next few months and hopefully have a recommendation by the end of the year.
The other bill reorganized the Rail Transit Authority’s board by placing a gov-erning board of nine members above the existing board, which has an unwieldy 28 members. The existing board will become an advisory board, a move they approved unanimously, according to Izbicki. The idea is to streamline the decision-making process and make the RTA more likely to receive grants.
N.H. cougars?Residents allegedly spy mountain lions; state officials deny existence
By Ryan [email protected]
Evidence of New Hampshire mountain
lions, also known as cougars, pumas or cat-amounts, has been out of reach for more than a century, leading U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice to write the eastern species off as likely extinct. But continuous alleged sightings of
the big cats are raising doubts about their pre-sumed extinct status.
State perspective
Bloggers and amateur researchers are col-lecting data on mountain lion sightings, some as recent as early July. But state officials are skeptical.
Pat Tate is the wildlife biologist with New Hampshire Fish and Game who fields all the reports of cougar sightings in the state. He checks all physical evidence submitted, such as DNA and photographs, but as long as he’s been on the job nothing has been conclusive proof that mountain lions live in the state.
“To date, the last situation where there was evidence of the mountain lion occurred in the

1850s,” Tate said.And he points out that the variety of moun-
tain lion that existed in New Hampshire was the eastern mountain lion. If someone sees a mountain lion in these parts, Tate concedes they may be seeing their western cousins wandering in search of food and a mate.
Males are sometimes known to travel hun-dreds of miles, like in 2011 when one from South Dakota traveled about 2,000 miles eastward through several states until it was killed on a Connecticut freeway. In that case, authorities had DNA evidence from multiple states to track its movements and confirm it was the same male.
Eastern cougars died off from defores-tation, hunting and the decline of the deer population. But now that the deer population in the Northeast has rebounded, there’s plen-ty of friendly habitat for a cougar population. The strong rebound of the bobcat population is evidence of that. In the 1980s, there were an estimated 100 to 150 bobcats. That num-ber is now about 10 times larger, according to a recent UNH survey.
Tate says it would take a while for west-ern cougars to put down roots in the state and start a local population.
“Interestingly, mountain lion expansion is controlled by the rate of expansion of females,” Tate said. “The females are lagging behind by hundreds of miles.”
And he said the chances females have already arrived are extremely small.
Of the photographs Tate receives that are claimed to be of mountain lions, he says the majority are of eastern bobcats or domestic housecats.
Believers
Tate says most who report sightings are untrained in telling the differences between cougars and other big cats native to the region. For instance, bobcats have shorter tails with coats often spotted, while moun-tain lions have long tails and wider noses and facial features more closely resembling the African lioness. Cougars are also about three times as long and about twice as tall.
But Marlow resident Linda McCrack-en said state officials are quick to discount reports from reliable sources.
“A lot of these people that have reported things to me are people who are good observ-ers, like artists or police or military, hunters, etc. People who would know what a big cat would look like...,” McCracken said.
Aside from seeing a few herself, McCrack-en has been tracking mountain lion sightings for the past 15 years from people across the state, logging more than 3,000 sightings going back decades. She has also logged about 400 sightings in Vermont.
And some people will describe the ani-mal perfectly and not even know that they’re describing a mountain lion, according to McCracken.
She said she’s noted clusters of sightings around southwestern portions of the state, but that they have occurred virtually every-where in the state except in the mountains. She thinks this may be because there are few-er humans there to see the cats.
McCracken agrees some of the sightings may be of migrating western cougars making their way through New York and Vermont.
“But I do believe they’ve been here all along,” McCracken said. “I’ve got things back from the ’30s and ’40s that people have seen and there are still reports coming in from the same locations today.”
McCracken said cougar sightings dropped off by the ’80s and ’90s but rebounded by the early 2000s.
Perhaps McCracken’s most compelling evidence is from tracking the cats’ behav-iors through statistics. Despite the difference in the number of cases between New Hamp-shire and Vermont, McCracken says the percentage of the cats seen walking, run-ning or sitting have been very similar. For instance, in 23.7 percent of the sightings in Granite State, the cougars are seen crossing a road or a backyard. In the Green Mountain State, it’s 22.1 percent.
But the lack of hard evidence is giving new meaning to another of the big cat’s names: ghost cat.

Commander says goodbyeLeader of NH Air National Guard gets ready to retireBrigadier General Carolyn J. Protzmann has had a distinguished career in the mili-tary for 35 years. As vice commander of the 157th Air Refueling Wing, she orches-trated relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 with the largest relief airlift in the history of the wing. She became the first female commander of the New Hampshire Air National Guard when she was promoted to the position in 2011. She is also the deputy adjutant general for New Hampshire. Under her tenure, the Pease Air National Guard Base became the first in the nation to receive the KC-46 refueling tanker. She’s set to retire Aug. 8.
I understand you are a New Hampshire native. Can you tell me a little about growing up here?
I was born and raised for most of my formative years in New Hampshire. I was a graduate both of Bishop Brady High School here in Concord and also a graduate of the University of New Hampshire before joining the United States military. So yes, I spent most of my life in parts of Franklin. I was born in Franklin ... and then we moved on to Connecticut for a couple of years then back into Candia and then Pembroke and then back into Franklin. … We currently have a lake property in Franklin, on Webster Lake.

It’s in business administration. After I graduated from college I went down south and worked a couple years in business in South Carolina. That was really the post-Viet-nam era. What happened, as often happens, is that military downsized significantly after Vietnam. But there were opportunities for officers, for candidates to become officers in the United States Air Force. I applied [to officer training school] when I was in South Carolina. … So [after] working in the private sector for a couple years, I saw an opportunity to move into the military and chose to do so.
Did you come from a military family?My father was a World War II veteran.
… My husband and I — although I had not met him at the time I joined the military — were both military. He’s retired military. My sister is military and she’s married to a mili-tary member. And I actually have four nieces who are in some manner or form serving in the United States military today. So we have a strong female military connection in my fam-ily and in my extended family. … I’m very proud of that fact.
When you look at the things you were able to accomplish in the New Hampshire Air National Guard, what are you most proud of?
I have … had the great privilege to be in leadership for many years. I’ve had
influence at the leadership level really begin-ning in my formative years in the military as a major… and then moving through the ranks. … As we transitioned to the years of the glob-al war on terror, I was able to deploy as the senior reserve liaison to the Central Com-mand Air Force Theater of Operation in the Middle East and served as the senior reserve advisor to the two-star CENTAF commander while deployed. That gave me a great oppor-tunity to talk to our guardsmen and reservists who were deployed overseas. … [I helped] make sure we had the visibility needed for Pease to be considered the first Air National Guard KC-46 unit … and we were honored with being selected as the first Air National Guard unit to receive the 46. That’s a very, very proud moment for all the members of the New Hampshire Air National Guard.
What lessons have you learned from your experience of serving in and leading the Air National Guard and the 157th?
One is, you can never do it alone. I suc-ceed on the back and on the shoulders of great mentors prior to me who set the stage for me to operate in, but also I am able to succeed because of the work of our military members and their families.
What advice do you have for your suc-cessor, Brigadier General Paul “Hutch” Hutchinson?
Listen to our people, and bring them into the decision-making. Empower our people to — and he does — to make good decisions and they will. It all starts with recognizing and honoring that we have amazing people who are very, very proficient in what they do. We also have to look out for the future. As a senior leader in the organization, we have to look at the strategic environment moving for-ward. — Ryan Lessard

NEWS & NOTES
QUALITY OF LIFE INDEXChurch thief
Last Sunday, Steve Dorion snatched an 87-year-old woman’s purse from a church pew while she stood up during a service at the First Congregational Church in Manchester, according to WMUR. Two wit-nesses tried to confront Dorion, and an alderman also approached and tried to detain the man, but he fled on foot. Officers found the purse in the bathroom later on, but the victim’s house keys, car keys and cash were missing.
QOL Score: -1Comment: An 87-year-old at church? Really?
Few women firefightersOnly 1 percent of New Hampshire’s 8,000 firefighters are women,
according to a Portsmouth Herald article. The reasons: bullying and the rigorous physical entrance exam, which, on average, 10 women take a year and only one to three pass, said Deb Pendergast, the director of New Hampshire Fire Standards and Training. “Unfortunately, so many departments are not accepting women. I hear so many stories,” Pend-ergast told the Herald. She thinks New England needs to go through a cultural shift and that people need to start hearing more positive stories about female firefighters.
QOL Score: -1Comment: Yes, the entrance exam needs to be hard — firefighting
is some intense stuff! — but QOL is disheartened to hear women are being dissuaded from the profession because of bullying.
Unemployment rate holding steadyThe New Hampshire Employment Security office reported the sea-
sonally adjusted unemployment rate for June was 3.8 percent. The AP reported the unemployment rate for the same month last year was 4.3 percent. Officials estimate about 720,000 people became employed in June, which is about 12,300 more than June of last year. New Hamp-shire’s unemployment rate has held steady at 3.8 percent since April and is down from 3.9 percent in February and March and 4 percent in January.
QOL Score: +1Comment: The national unemployment rate is 5.3 percent.
Meth in the capitalConcord police are reporting an increase in meth-related drug activ-
ity in the state’s capital. The Concord Monitor reported undercover police have made 19 purchases of the drug since January. That’s com-pared to only one meth purchase between 2003 and 2007. Authorities believe most of the meth is from local meth cooks who produce the drug easily from over-the-counter pseudoephedrine and other house-hold items. While meth is considered an emerging problem, heroin continues to be the primary concern.
QOL Score: -2Comment: Police said most of the meth purchases involved people
in their 30s or older.
QOL score: 87Net change: -3QOL this week: 84

SPORTS DAVE LONG’S LONGSHOTS
All-Star game’s big stories With baseball’s
All-Star Game in Cin-cinnati last week, three stories jumped off the page during the festival and here’s the way I see them.
News Item: Can Baseball’s All-Star Game Be Fixed?
Here’s the problem with the game: Moronic fans like those in KC this year stuff the ballot box to see their favorite players play rath-er than those who deserve to be there. Since fans pay the bills, there’s nothing wrong with that, but that’s what insures that it’s not a seri-ous game. Then there’s the concession to the everybody-gets-a-trophy generation that’s led to 40-man rosters and the notion everyone has to play and every team be represented, wheth-er deserved or not, like Scott Cooper Sox in the early ’90s. I understand that everyone wants to play — and given what it takes to get there, who could blame them? But back in the day the starter always went three innings and they used four pitchers tops and no bat-ter playfully acted afraid to hit against Randy Johnson as Larry Walker did a while back. All that is OK, but that’s what makes it an exhibition game, that’s all.
But since the ratings again show it at an all-time low last week, it’s obvious it’s not the highlight of the summer it once was. The thing that set it apart, from the time I saw my first game in 1963 and continuing for over 20 years, was the competitive fire epitomized by Pete Rose barreling over Ray Fosse in the violent collision that gave the National League the win in 1970.
It’ll never be that way again because you can’t replicate the combination of societal and game-wide factors that collided at that time. First, there was no free agency and there were few trades between the leagues, outside of Frank Robinson getting traded to the Orioles from the Reds in 1966, so you were either a National Leaguer or an American Leagu-er and there was a big rivalry between the leagues. Second, by embracing integration far more aggressively in Mays, McCov-ey, Stargell, Aaron, Banks, Frank Robby, Gibson, Fergie Jenkins, Joe Morgan and others, the NL had more great players. And with the civil rights struggle in full swing, it was a proving ground as well.
So here’s my suggestion: Do what the WBC is trying to do in building a worldwide com-petition. Shut down baseball for a week for a best-of-three series pitting U.S.A. against the World. That may re-introduce competitive pride into the game and force managers to use their best pitchers for longer, making it more like a real game. And finally, make it a win-ner take all, where the winners get $100,000
per player and losers get zip. It’ll never hap-pen, but for the first time in a long time they’d have my attention.
News Item: Is Pete Hall-Worthy? With the game in Cincy, that was a huge
story. Many in the other Queen City showed that turning a blind eye to the (possible) mis-deeds of their favorite was not confined to how many here think about Deflate-Gate. Except in Pete’s case we know he did it.
They say you can’t forget about all the hits so he should go in. For what it’s worth here’s my take. You don’t “deserve” forgiveness; it’s earned and comes in stages: (1) admit all you did, (2) say you’re sorry and show contrition, (3) accept the consequences and then the clock starts ticking on the punish-ment earned in line with how egregious the offense was.
I believe Pete is sorry and contrite. But if the recent ESPN Outside the Lines story that he bet on his own team while manag-ing the Reds is true, for some reason he just can’t bring himself to tell the whole story, so my first condition is not met. Plus, they only reason he ever admitted anything after lying for years was to juice book sales. Thus Pete hasn’t met my first condition. So no to the Hall until he does. As to those saying “you can’t ignore what he did,” no one is calling to pull his name from the record books. Just don’t accord him the privilege of going in the Hall. His actions led to that and he has no one to blame but himself.
News Item: Pedro over Clemens in the Franchise Four
It’s hard to argue with Ted Williams and Yaz being among the Red Sox Franchise Four announced during the festivities. Giv-en his postseason heroics during their only three World Series wins in 100 years it’s dit-to for David Ortiz. But for the pitcher in this group it’s not quite as clear cut. True, Pedro Martinez’s dominance through the steroid era was astonishing. But Roger Clemens and Cy Young share the franchise record of 192 wins. Plus Roger’s 24-4 in 1986 matched Pedro’s best, plus he was the key figure in three AL pennant-winning teams and won three Cy Youngs while here to Pedro’s two. Pedro was there to break the curse, but Cy was on the first ever World Series-winning team and in eight Boston years he won 20 six times including a mind-bending 33 and 32 as he was earning the right to have the best pitchers awards named after him! These things are fun because of the debate, but thanks to the historically challenged the old guys generally get dismissed and the new-er guy wins. But as great as Pedro was, I’ve got Cy at No. 4.

The Drive: A really fun hole for those who like the extra distance that comes from driving off a highly elevated tee. 1) If you hit it sweet you’ll get an extra 20 yards, but you have to be straight because tress line the entire left side and on the right a slope leads to a pond just off the fairway. It’s great for big bangers but if you go too far you could roll into the wide pond in front of the green. 2) The second shot is a deceiving chip that can fool you into hitting a club too much to stay clear the pond in front of the green. But if too long, you’re on a hill for a tough chip to a sloping downhill green that makes it tough to stay on the dance floor.
The Green: Once you’re on the green – if you’re at the back it’s a speedy downhill putt that can run by the hole so precision on the pace is key. Front of the green is best - as it leaves an uphill putt that makes life much easier.

Sports GlossaryCy Young: Astonishing pitcher who owns America’s most unbreakable sports record
of 511 wins. He won over 30 five times. In 1892 he was 36-12, had FORTY-EIGHT complete games and pitched 453 innings in 49 starts. He pitched over 400 innings five times and 11 more over 300. In his last Boston year at 41 he was a total slacker in throwing “only” 299 and going 21-11.
Scott Cooper in the 1990s: The guy the Sox kept to play third base instead of Jeff Bagwell. That he lasted just five full seasons in Boston and Bags is a borderline Hall of Famer shows that was a pretty big personnel mistake. Those five years started in the woeful Butch Hobson era when the team was so bad he was their All-Star because they had to send someone. The career highs were 13 homers (’94), 63 RBI (’93), and he hit .282 in 1994. It was down to .230 in ’95, which was followed by a trade to KC, where he was one and then done with baseball for good.
The 1966 Frank Robinson Trade: Arguably the greatest trade in baseball histo-ry. Pitching-needy Cincinnati sent him to Baltimore for the pretty good Milt Pappas and in true Red Sox style of today slimed him on the way out of town by calling him an “old” 30. The competitively fierce Robby responded by leading Baltimore to their first of four pennants with him and their first World Series win as he hit 49 homers, knocked in 122 and hit .316 to win the Triple Crown. Pappas went 12-11 and lasted just two years in Cincy.
SPORTS DAVE LONG’S PEOPLE, PLACES & OTHER STUFF
Huge sports weekendThe Big Story: It was a busy week in the
Granite State as NASCAR Nation rolled into Loudon, the Red Sox JV was in town to face the hometown F-Cats, and the NH Hampshire Amateur Golf Championship came to a close after a great week at the Mt. Washington Hotel. The winners were Kyle Busch at NHIS, who won for the third time in 11 starts; the F-Cats, taking three of four from the C-Dogs as over 26,000 were at the four-game series; and Windham’s Con-nor Greenleaf winning the 36-hole State Am final one up over Joe Leavitt of Atkin-son CC and Resort, helped along by a caddie penalty that cost Leavitt the 35th hole to keep the lead at one up, which Greenleaf protect-ed on the final hole.
Sports 101: In the professional era of golf, who has won the most British Open titles?
The Bonner Watch: The Bonner watch came to a happy ending for the former Con-cord High star, as Matt Bonner re-upped last week to play his 10th year with the Spurs for a one-year deal worth $1.4 million.
Close to the Mason-Dixon Line Chal-lenge: Word came last week the traveling SNHU Penmen next year will play their first major Division I opponent since facing Seton Hall after former NHC Coach PJ Carlesimo
led the Pirates to a berth in the 1989 NCAA Final in Seattle. This time it’ll be the Univer-sity of Maryland in College Park in a similar deal as SNHU Hall of Famer Beano Ranson is UM assistant.
Line of the Week: From Joel McHale introducing UFC champ Ronda Rousey at the ESPYs by saying, “Ronda’s knocked out more women than Bill Cosby” and adding, “Oh, you know what? I’m sorry. I misspoke. I meant Dr. Bill Cosby.”
RIP: To my great friend Haden Edwards, known in this space as Hay-wood, who unexpectedly died last week. He was a great husband and father, an adopted Red Sox fan whose cellphone ringer was the final call of the 2004 World Series for-ever, and a clutch putter in big moments on the golf course.
Sports 101 Answer: Australian Peter Thomson (four in the ’50s and 1965) and the retiring Tom Watson have won the most British Open titles with five.
On This Date – July 23: 1925 – Lou Geh-rig hits the first of his 23 career grand slams. 1973 – Red Sox Nation fave Nomar Garciap-arra is born. 2000 and ’06 – Tiger Woods wins the British Open at Royal Lytham and at Royal Liverpool Golf Club respectively.
The Numbers5 – consecutive NH
Women’s Golf Association Junior titles for 15-year-old Lauren Thibodeau of Windham CC after her six-stroke win over Chelsea Sedlar of Nashua CC when she shot an even par 273 at Manchester’s Intervale CC.
17 – most in baseball number of runs Hanley
Ramirez has cost the Red Sox with poor play in left field, according to Bos-ton Globe beat writer Pete Abraham.
43.2 – consecutive innings of shutout ball pitched by Dodgers hurler Zack Greinke over his last six to put Orel Hershiser’s all-time record 59 innings in reach.
144 – low two-day Stat Am score among locals by Ryan Tombs of Manches-ter CC.
7,235 – largest crowd during the F-Cats’ afore-mentioned weekend series with Portland fans who were on hand to see them win 5-4 in 11 innings on Satur-day night at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

Bartender faves, plus recipes to make your own classics
By Ryan [email protected]
From traditional cocktails of Prohibition-era America to modern twists and fruity high-balls, the summer menus of local bars are refreshing and relaxing. Gone are the largely whiskey- and bourbon-based
drinks of the colder months. Now gin, vod-
ka, tequila and rum are the spirits of choice, accompanied by soda water, fresh fruit juice, sugar and herbs.
The Hippo reached out to local restaurants and bars for their summer cocktail picks, plus what to expect when you take that first sip, how their favorites are prepared and which foods accompany them best. They also grad-ed each drink on a fruity scale from one to five, five being the fruitiest. Some restau-rants provided their exact recipes while others opted to share their drinks’ ingredients but leave the measurements up to aspiring home bartenders.

Summer cocktail trends
Most summer cocktails are more refresh-ing, brighter and less powerful than the alcoholic beverages that dominate the menus in the winter months.
Sandy Rozek, the bar and beverage direc-tor at the Copper Door restaurant, says this transition begins in the spring.
“I try to do a drink menu three times a year. One in the spring, to get out of the winter [and the] heavier, bourbon, whis-key-based type of cocktails that are more prevalent in the wintertime, to the summer, where you integrate some of the lighter spir-its,” Rozek said.
Rozek still keeps a couple whiskey drinks on the menu since, she notes, those spirits are dominating the market right now with a recent boom in popularity.
“It’s outsold vodka for the first time in, like, ever!” Rozek said. “They’re complete-ly taking over.”
But for the most part, she integrates more rum, gin, tequila and vodka for the warmer months — “Basically, because you’re using a little bit more juices [like] orange juices, tropical flavors, margaritas, fresh limes, cit-rus,” Rozek said. “Something a little easier to sip when it’s 95 degrees outside.”
Rozek says some consumers prefer savory over sweet drinks, so she provides a saltier option on her menus as well. And she says it’s always important to keep an eye toward current trends.
“Any herbs-infused alcohol is really hot right now. There’s whiskey mojitos ... using basil, lavender, mint, rosemary sprigs...,” Rozek said.
She says juleps, margaritas and mojitos come back every summer, but lately, cock-tails have grown more mature, with serious bartenders bringing back the classics with artful precision.
“Those really classic, 1920s speakeasy kind of cocktails are making a huge come-back, so it’s kind of fun,” Rozek said.
In fact, a speakeasy opened up in down-
town Manchester this past February, called 815 and stylized as 8ne5. It has a prohibition theme, with period decor a hidden entrance and a password that changes weekly.
Co-owner Ryan McCabe and his partner Sarah Maillet have close to 30 years bartend-ing experience between them.
“[The speakeasy is] a really good way to introduce craft cocktails to Manchester,” McCabe said. “A lot of the drinks that we do were spawned just before to during the Prohibition era. Some of the oldest cocktails that we do would be like the Vieux Carre and Negroni, Blood and Sand, Manhattans obviously and gin martinis. Those are all mainstays.”
But McCabe says they bring a combi-nation of scientific precision and artful experimentation to the craft to keep one foot in the past and another in the future.
“As far as the classic cocktails go, they’re very precise,” McCabe said. “We use a jig-ger for all our cocktails. … These are very technical drinks and if you put a little too much or a little less of one of the ingredients in, it completely changes the characteristics of the drink.”
One drink, the Ramos Gin Fizz, can take up to 10 minutes to mix, according to McCabe. And, in order to keep the menu fresh with new, sophisticated cocktails, McCabe encourages his bartending staff to get imaginative, try new ingredients and branch out in new directions.
“It’s always a learning experience. There’s nobody in the industry that knows it all. I learn things on a daily basis,” McCabe said.
Ken Anderson, the owner of the Master Bartender School in Newmarket, says gin and tonics and pina coladas are always big in the summer, but this year he sees one drink leading the pack.
“Sangrias are enormous right now,” Anderson said.
Sangrias consist of wine, chopped fruit, a sweetener and a little brandy.

Bar Terminology
Cocktail: A drink made primarily of alcohol with a base spirit modified by a liqueur. Exam-ple: martini.Highball: A little bit of alcohol with a majori-ty of mixer like soda or juice. Also known as a Collins drink though people commonly use the term “cocktail” to describe all mixed drinks.
ToolsJigger: Ounce and a half measuring tool that looks like an upside down cone atop a small-er cone. Hawthorne strainer: A strainer placed atop Boston shakers when pouring drinks to keep the ice out of the glass.Double strainer: A small, metal colander-type strainer. Bartenders pour through it to catch pulp and seeds from muddled fruits.Boston shaker: A large metal cup with either a lid or a pint glass to seal it while the bartender shakes the ingredients within.Three-piece shaker: Similar to the Boston shaker but with a strainer lid and a small cup to seal the strainer. Not commonly used by bar-tenders because the lids get stuck.
Muddler: A pestle-like tool for crushing or pressing fruit.Stirring spoon: Bartenders use the long end to stir and the spoon end to scoop stuff out of drinks.
Glasses Cocktail glass: Also known as martini glass. A wide, conical cup over a narrow stem.Highball glass: A tall and skinny tumbler with about the same capacity as the lowball glass.Lowball glass: A squat, round and wide glass that contains about 10 fluid ounces.Rocks glass: Also known as Old Fashioned glass, for true cocktails on the rocks or whis-key. Depending on who you ask, this is the same as a lowball glass.Collins glass: A skinny tall glass for mixed drinks like Tom Collins or Zombies. Contains 10-17 fluid ounces.Margarita glass: A larger form of coupe for margaritas with a bowl-shaped cup over a nar-row stem.Hurricane glass: A curvy glass used predomi-nantly for rum punch-type drinks.
Sherry glass: Also known as a port glass or an aperitif glass. Looks like a tiny wine glass.Cordial glass: A fancy shot glass with a stem often used between meals to clean your palate with a cordial like creme de menthe.Coupe: A small, margarita-style glass used pri-marily for Champagne but also some special cocktails.
Special IngredientsCordials and liqueurs: Distilled spirits fla-vored with herbs, spices, creams, honey or nuts. Often bottled with added sugar or sweet-ener. Some are common like creme de menthe and triple sec, while others are brand names like Cointreau (a type of triple sec) or South-ern Comfort.Fortified wines: A common ingredient in cocktails, they are wines with distilled liquor added. Examples include vermouth, port and sherry.Bitters: Tinctures of alcoholic concoctions with botanical ingredients which provide potent bitter or sour flavor. Only to be used in moderation, such as one to three dashes per
drink.Simple syrup: Liquified sugar and water solution.
OrderingA twist: A piece of lemon peel that is twisted to release the oils and added to the drink.A splash: A small amount like .5 ounce to .75 ounce. Lace, float or topper: Dropped on top of drink after the main ingredients are mixed, like grenadine in a Tequila Sunrise.Dirty: Add a little olive juice into a martini.Dry: Less vermouth in a martini.Rocks: Ice.Straight up: No ice.Frozen: Served in crushed ice, like a slushy.Double: People will say ‘make it a double’ to make their drink stronger with more base spir-it. It’s not always double the amount, though.
Ken Anderson, the owner of the Master Bar-tender School in Newmarket, provided most of the terminology.

ARTSFirst productionMagic Flute is Piccola Opera’s inaugural show
By Kelly [email protected]
After Amherst resident Johanna Landis sang opera in Italy two summers ago — a “bucket list” kind of endeavor — she had no idea she’d have an opportunity to per-form again, let alone in her home state.
Yet here she was, rehearsing for Piccola Opera’s The Magic Flute one recent eve-ning at the company’s new rehearsal studio tucked off Concord’s North Main Street. The opera, written by Mozart, will be per-formed at the Concord City Auditorium Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25, at 7:30 p.m.
Landis saw the call for singers in the Amherst Citizen a few weeks back, inquired to husband-wife directing team Jane Corm-ier and Carlos Martinez and began taking lessons immediately. Even with her voice resume — she studied music in college and has sung all her life, through part-time jobs and opportunities — she’s already learned a lot from the duo, from proper use of diction and phonetics to breathing and placement of sound.
“I’m very excited. I feel like these guys are an incredible resource for the commu-nity,” Landis said. “This is such a unique situation, not only because we’re singing opera, but because of the level of artistry
and the ability they have to teach. It’s real-ly like something you’d find in Boston or New York.”
The Magic Flute is the first full-fledged production for Concord’s newly established opera company run by Cormier (artistic director) and Martinez (music director), formerly of Just Love to Sing! in the Lakes Region. Cormier says this is one of the five “best-loved operas in the world,” and the cast, made of community members and professional opera singers, will perform the English translation. Cormier herself has been in the production 38 times.
“We casted from from the opera competi-tion and community auditions in the spring. We got a really good response,” Cormier
said via phone.For Landis, who’s sung most of her life
but took a detour to become a dentist and raise a family, Piccola Opera is a haven. It’s also beneficial for young singers new to the art, like Brock Higley of Bedford, who delved into opera over a year ago. He loves the challenge of it.
“[Opera music] is more complex than most musical theater music — the rhythms and the overall components. You have to pronounce everything perfectly, and you have to project to make sure everyone can hear you in the audience,” he said. (Opera, unlike musical theater, isn’t usually miked.) “I definitely have to spend more nitty grit-ty time on specific details; I can’t just sing a whole song and feel good about it.”
Cormier said the cast is made up equally of high schoolers, community members and professional singers. The interest among young people was so prolific, Cormier and Martinez decided to create an additional matinee show that condenses The Magic
Flute; the kids who make up the mainstage chorus will be able to have a go at the com-pany’s lead roles Saturday at 2 p.m. So far, they’ve been catching on well.
“These kids are just sponges. They’re sucking this stuff up,” Cormier said. “So not only do they get to come, perform and observe more experienced opera singers, but they actually get to … try it themselves. I’ve never seen another opera company do this, not while at the same time offering a mainstage production.”
Performing as Tomino is Joshua Collier, a Boston resident who comes in fresh from an opera in Middlebury. He won the role at Pic-cola Opera’s competition last fall — a great experience for more more amateur opera singers, he said — and has a strong, boom-ing voice, audible from the streets below.
Piccola Opera has three tiers — edu-cation, enlightenment and entertainment — and so Cormier and Martinez are thrilled at the response among both pro-fessional and amateur singers. They hope to hold a summer production every year and, eventually, create an endowment. The long-term goal: to help remove opera from its current “niche” status and make it more mainstream, in New Hampshire especially. The two are donating 100 percent of their time to this project, getting no pay from the company in return.
“My husband and I took a hiatus [from opera] the last four years. We didn’t pro-duce any fully staged operas. … I look up, and it’s really troubling to see how many opera companies have closed their doors the past four years. Big companies, small companies. For the first time in my life, I can see that opera has turned into a niche art form,” Cormier said. “To have it go away to the point where nobody really knows about opera would be such a loss. It’s been around since the 1600s, and it’s a cultural diamond, as far as I’m concerned.”

• 85th season: The Barnstormers, found-ed by Francis (son of President Grover
Cleveland) and Alice Cleveland, turns 85 this year and remains the state’s longest-running theater company. The original troupe comprised mostly young actors, according to the release — recent gradu-ates from colleges like Harvard, Wellesley, Radcliffe and Amherst — and the first director was Ed Goodnow.
The name was a natural choice because it described what the theater did — open on a Monday in Tamworth and then “barnstorm” throughout Maine and New Hampshire during the week, just before returning to Tamworth for a final Saturday evening per-formance. After four of years of this, the company bought the old Kimball’s Store and converted it into what the 282-seat the-ater (104 Main St., Tamworth) is today. The season runs through Aug. 29, Tuesday through Saturday evenings with weekend matinees. On view this week are Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike by Christopher Durang (July 16 through July 25) and Rel-atively Speaking by Alan Ayckbourn (July 28 through Aug. 1). Visit barnstormersthe-atre.org or call 323-8500.

Another art outletThe Annex features local furniture maker Vivian Beer
By Kelly [email protected]
For an artist who’s worked in the Queen City the past six years, Vivian Beer’s got very few Manchester gigs on her resume. She’s had work in the Smithsonian, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Museum of Arts and Design, but nothing within a 10-mile radius of her Manches-ter studio, tucked between a ballroom dance company and car repair shop off Dow Street.
Until now, that is. These past few months, Beer’s actually been a little Manchester-cra-zy; she recently completed a commissioned piece for the Currier Museum of Art (a chair, part of her “Anchored Candy” series), and this week, she collaborates with The Annex to produce a show featuring her own sculptur-al furniture, on view July 18 through July 25.
The idea came about a few weeks ago. She’d been renting photography material from Glass and Gear, which owns The Annex studio in an old mill building, and somehow, she and owner Robert Daniel got to talking about the Manchester arts scene. He told her he’d always wanted to hold an annual or bian-nual contemporary art show in the space. She agreed the city needed something like that — and volunteered to be part of the first show.
“There’s this hope that both us have that [The Annex] just becomes another arts outlet here in Manchester,” said Beer, clad in jeans, work boots and a T-shirt, in her Dow Street art studio last week. “I show all over the coun-try, but I don’t do much here. … [Manchester] is an art-light city, but it doesn’t need to be. It has a lot of the components you need as an artist. There’s a lot of space, and it’s also incredibly inexpensive.”
Beer has lived all over the country but moved here because her brother and his fami-ly are New Hampshirites. She found she liked the state more than she thought she would.
“I feel like it’s really easy to run a business in New Hampshire,” she said. “It’s a very entrepreneurial state. I feel like half the peo-ple you meet have an additional business on the side. I’ve lived all over the country, and that’s not the case everywhere.”
During her interview the Monday morning before the show’s opening, she had one last
piece to finish — a bronze bench, part of her “Desert Impressions” series made from cast-ings of the desert floor, which she took during a trip out west in 2014 as part of a fellowship.
Visitors will find a handful from this col-lection, and also a variety from her other series, all of which have different personas. Pieces from her “Ruffle” collection look like gigantic slabs of ribbon folded neatly to cre-ate chairs and benches.
Furniture in the “Streamliner” series is kind of futuristic — one cabinet pops open with the touch of a finger — and the “Infra-structure” series has an architectural, tidy appearance despite being made, for the most part, out of concrete.
The show will also highlight at least one element from her “Anchored Candy” col-lection, works that are bright, shiny and reminiscent of old-fashioned automobiles.
Beer said she’s inspired by forces of nature and forces of culture. Though most of her art has contemporary flair — it’s sleek and, at times, in your face — you’ll find small details reminiscent of dated fashion, from clothes and cars to furniture and pop culture. She grabs much material while traveling (she recently returned from a Smithsonian Air and Space Museum fellowship, during which she studied aeronautical design), and she looks to continue casting as well (next could be trees, rocks, mountains).
Beer said part of the reason she’s shown elsewhere is that she finds there’s more of a market for fine furniture in New York, Phila-delphia or Boston; it’s her hope, though, that through this show, some of the area’s art con-noisseurs will come out of the woodwork. Daniel has given her free rein to use the space as she sees fit, and he hopes it’s the start of many shows highlighting locals.
“The fact of the matter is, there is talent liv-ing here but displaying elsewhere,” he said via phone. “I want to highlight artists in New Hampshire.”

ARTS
• Recycled fashion: The Little Church Theater (40 NH-113, Holderness) hosts the sixth annual Project Greenway Thurs-day, July 23, at 7 p.m. The challenge for this year’s designers: to use recycled and repurposed materials to create a design representing a local or national business, organization or charity whose spirit they admire. Judges look at the creativity of the design, use of color, texture of materi-als and construction. Television personality and award-winning author Rebecca Cole will be this year’s celebrity judge. Tick-ets are $25 for the first four rows, $10 per person for general admission. Visit little-churchtheater.com, call 968-2250 or email [email protected].
“We are always mesmerized by the cre-ative use of materials by the designers,” organizer Austine Howard said in the press release. “I can’t wait to see this year’s col-lection of inspirational designs.”
• History of comics: How well do you know comics, really? Cartoonist and musician Marek Bennett gives a free pre-sentation on Friday, July 31, at 7 p.m. at the Weare Town Hall, 16 N. Stark Highway, Weare, called Comics in World History and Cultures. Bennett will survey comics from ancient to present times and discuss the cultures that created them. This event is sponsored by the New Hampshire Humani-ties Council; call 529-2044.
• Looking for artists: InTown Manches-ter, the City of Manchester and Studio 550 are looking for another round of (ideally three to five) artists to decorate the city’s downtown traffic boxes, part of the “Think Outside the Box” program. Each artist will receive a $400 stipend to cover time and materials. A full application is available at 550arts.com under the “opportunities”
page. The deadline for completed submis-sions is Feb. 22, 2016, at 9 p.m. Boxes will be painted the spring of 2016. The $25 application fee will be waived for students, and submissions can be sent via email or mail or dropped off in person at Studio 550, 550 Elm St., Manchester. For more infor-mation, visit 550arts.com, call 232-5597.
If traffic boxes aren’t quite your style, the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire has a show, “Celebrating Flight,” submissions for which are due to be dropped off at the museum (27 Navigator Road, Londonder-ry, nhahs.org) the week of Aug. 3 through Aug. 8 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. each day or by appointment. Juror (and New Hamp-shire painter) Bruce McColl will be looking for paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, mixed media, photography and digital media that touch on the theme “Celebrat-ing Flight” (though this theme can also be loosely interpreted). Judging will take place the week of Aug. 10, and artists will be notified via email if their pieces are selected for the show. There’s a $10 entry fee, and up to three submissions per artist will be accepted. The show will be on view Sept. 4 through Oct. 18.

INSIDE/OUTSIDESummer fun in the sun St. Anne Church holds annual Summerfest
By Angie [email protected]
If you’re looking for a fun, free summer outing with the family, head to the Hampstead Town Green for St. Anne’s 34th Annual Sum-merfest on Saturday, July 25, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The fest will have a road race, car show, games for all ages, live entertainment, food and more.
“It’s been going on for a long time,” said Cheryl Hess, event pub-licity coordinator. “Even though it’s put on by St. Anne, it’s really a draw for the whole community. There is a wide range of things to do for all ages, and we add different things each year to keep it fresh.”
The day will commence with the 23rd annual Lakes Race & Fun Walk, with registration and a light breakfast at 7:30 a.m. and the race launching at 9 a.m. near the Hamp-stead Old Meetinghouse. The race is 5 miles long on a USA Track & Field certified course. Trophies will be awarded to the top runners, and ribbons to the second- and third-place runners, for male and female divisions and age divisions. The non-competitive 5K Fun Walk will also begin at 9 a.m.
“The road race is a big thing,” Hess said. “People put that on their calendars and come every year for it.”
The festival will be underway on the Green starting at 9 a.m. with midway games and prizes, face painting and a bounce house. The arts and crafts fair and the bake sale, which Hess said are the big-gest attractions next to the road race, will be open all day.
New at the festival this year are the water blaster and sumo wres-tling games, which both kids and adults can participate in.
There will be numerous raffles throughout the day for both cash and gift basket prizes, as well as a silent auction.
Raffle prizes and auction items
may include gift certificates, sports or movie tickets, household items and more, all donated by local busi-nesses. The biggest cash raffle prize is $500.
Lunch will be available from 11:30 a.m. to the end of the day with hamburgers and hot dogs, veg-gie burgers, Italian sausage, frozen treats and more.
Kids may be excited to see a spe-cial visitor at the festival this year. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Snow Queen Elsa from Disney’s Frozen will be around to sing and take pic-tures with her fans.
Families will go head-to-head in the family games from 11 a.m. to noon, which include tug of war, potato sack races, three-legged rac-es and more.
From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Cruisin’ Car Show will be up for viewing as well as a touch-a-truck area for kids with the Hampstead emergency vehicles.
Live entertainment on the stage will include the Hampstead Dance Academy at 11 a.m., a capella women’s quartet Accidental Charm at 12:15 p.m., children’s pop musi-cian Judy Pancoast at 1:15 p.m., and singer-songwriter Pete Peter-son at 2:15 p.m. to close out the day.
“Summerfest can entertain anyone in your party, from grand-parents to adults to teenagers to kids,” Hess said. “You’re bound to find something, if not multiple things that everyone you’re with will enjoy doing.”

Buttoning upButton collectors convention comes to Manchester
By Angie [email protected]
The buttons on display at the annual National Convention and Show in Man-chester aren’t your everyday buttons.
Collectors seek out buttons based on their era, historical significance, culture, material, artistic beauty or even a certain theme, such as cat or dog buttons. In terms of value, buttons can range from 50 cents to several thousand dollars. Most are between $10 and $40.
“If you get into some of the older but-tons, ones from the 18th century, you could easily spend a thousand dollars,” show Chair Joan MacFarlane said. “Some of them, particularly ones that were worn by the wealthy men in those days, were gor-geously handmade and very showy. Some of the military buttons are worth a lot of money too, especially if they are in good condition.”
The National Button Society will hold its annual show at the Radisson Hotel in Man-chester from Monday, June 27, through Saturday, Aug. 1. Throughout the week, there will be educational presentations and workshops as well as a showroom with but-tons on exhibit and for sale.
“There are … over 50 dealers from the U.S. plus several foreign countries,” said Jerry DeHay, assistant publicity chair. “Well over 500,000 buttons to see that most people have never seen before and did not even suspect existed.”
Some collectors will enter their button “trays” in the show competition. A tray in the button world is a cohesive display of carefully selected buttons; MacFarlane said part of the fun of button collecting is “playing around with the buttons,” orga-nizing and classifying them to create a nice-looking exhibit. The competition trays are where you will find some of the rarest, most unique buttons in the showroom.
There will be several special programs throughout the week on a variety of topics. Because the convention is in New Hamp-shire this year, some programs will focus on historic New England as the birthplace of our nation. “State Militia Buttons of New England” will highlight some of the show’s New England-made military but-tons and offer a history of the time periods in which they were used.
“It’s a very multi-faceted hobby,” Mac-Farlane said. “Collectors love to own the buttons, but they also want to learn about the culture and history behind them. You can learn so much about life [at that time] from a button.”
The convention attracts not only button collectors, but also craftsmen and artists. In one of the workshops, participants will learn how to make a bracelet out of buttons in under an hour, using a simple, interwoven string design. In another, a local craftsman will explain his process for making his own pewter buttons, from the designs and molds to the casting.
Button collecting can be an addicting hobby, MacFarlane said, and even though the buttons are small in size, many serious collectors have a whole room dedicated to their buttons.
“There will be a lot of people crowd-ing around the tables trying to find that one special button that will make the show for them,” she said. “It’s like a hunt to find whatever button you’re picturing in your head that you want, because there’s so much variety with buttons that you know it’s out there somewhere.”
While much of the convention consists of member business, MacFarlane and DeHay encourage the public to check out the show-room and the educational programs, even if they are new to the button scene.
“We welcome visitors, and our dealers and collectors are extremely friendly and enjoy visiting with folks who are discovering but-tons for the first time,” DeHay said.

IN/OUT THE GARDENING GUY
It’s easy being greenRed-leafed plants provide contrast
By Henry [email protected]
When I bought my house in 1970, it had no landscaping. The first tree I planted was a Jap-anese red maple (Acer palmatum). I grew up in Connecticut and my parents had a big one in the yard that I loved. It was wide and, I’d estimate, 40 feet tall, a great broad climbing tree with maroon-colored leaves. So around 1971 I dug up a seedling and moved it north.
That little maple is still alive but never has gotten close to the size of my parents’ tree. It’s just 10 feet tall with a 12-foot spread. Why so small? It’s growing too far north. It survives, but is stunted by the climate. Not only that, as a nearby tree has spread and shaded it, the leaves are no longer the deep purple they once were; now they have a greenish tinge. Oh well. I later got another and put it in a sunnier location, and it has leaves that are a deeper reddish color.
Like many gardeners, I like plants with deep red or purplish leaves. They provide a contrast to all the greenery in our landscape. There are some nice trees and shrubs to pick from, including one very popular one that is now on the prohibited invasive species list in most states, the Norway maple Crimson King. That one is a “sport,” or genetic muta-tion. All Norway maples (Acer platanoides), including the green ones, are invasive.
The original Crimson King has been cloned and sold for decades. Eventually envi-ronmentalists figured out that seedlings from them having been taking over our woods, out-competing our native maples and other plants. The seedlings generally are green-leaved, so many gardeners think they are sugar maples. Snap off a leaf and look at the stem. If it ooz-es white sap, it’s a Norway maple.
Norway maples have amazing root systems that steal the moisture and nutrition from the soil for long distances, depriving other plants. So if you have a nice big maple with near-ly black leaves, know that it is a thug — and consider replacing it even though no plant police will come after you.
I have a fast-growing shrub with handsome dark purple leaves that would exceed the size of my Japanese red maple if I didn’t give it a yearly “haircut.” It’s a common ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius), a variety called Diablo. This is a shrub native to the United States, though I have never seen one in the woods. Diablo was introduced in 2000 and has become very popular, mainly for its leaf color which is good from spring to fall, but also for its nice 2-inch pinkish blossoms in June.
According to me, common ninebark grows too fast. Mine can grow 3 feet in a summer, and I really don’t want it to. I prefer shrubs like fothergilla or daphne that rarely need
pruning. Diablo can quickly get to 10 feet tall and wide, and its root system is substantial. Hardy to Zone 2 (minus 50 degrees), noth-ing is going to kill it. It prefers full sun, but will tolerate anything and survive in bad soil, acid or alkaline. Planted in a row, it could be a good hedge.
Purple smoke bush (Cottinus cogyria) is a purple-leafed plant I’ve have had since 1999. Mine often dies back to the ground after a cold winter, but the roots send up new shoots no matter what. I often cut back all shoots in early spring, which stimulates it to produce new shoots and keep it a tidy shrub instead of a gangly winter-bitten one. These often grow 3 to 4 feet in a season. Doing this means it never blooms, but the foliage is a splendid deep wine color, so I don’t mind. In warmer climes it can grow to be a small tree or large shrub with large diaphanous blossoms that is quite glorious.
I also have a crabapple tree with dark maroon leaves that I decided was Ruby Tears. Mine was trained into a spiral, and has branch-es that weep or droop down. I’ve kept it small – only 8 feet tall and wide. But it has nice dark leaves that are quite striking in the spring, get-ting a bit greener as the season goes on. It is loaded with pink blossoms every year.
Other dark-leafed crabapples include Prai-rie Fire, which I have seen as a full-sized tree, or if grown on dwarfing rootstock, as a small one. All apples are grafted onto rootstocks because the seeds do not breed true. The rootstock determines the ultimate size from dwarf to full-sized. Prairie Fire has greenish-red leaves by mid-summer, getting greener as time goes on.
European beech (Fagus sylvatica) has some very nice purple-to-black-leafed cul-tivars, and although there is one growing in my town, I have never tried growing it. The leaves are really quite black at this time of year, and the one I have observed is 20 years old or more, about 18 feet tall and 12 feet wide. It is rated as a marginally hardy in Zone 4, but this one has survived winters approach-ing 30 below zero.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT
Dear Donna,
Can you help me? This little kangaroo was my mom’s, and I have held on to it since her passing. It is 5 inches long and is made from cloth and has a tag that says a woman’s name: Margaret Sherwood. I have tried researching the name but have had no luck. Any help would be appreciat-ed to know if there is any value for it and if there are others.
Karen from Nashua
Dear Karen,That is a sweet kangaroo; I can see why
you held onto it. It’s tough to say who the woman made it was or is. It could be regional or even something that was giv-en to your mom from across the country. It could have been a woman who made sew-ing novelties, toys or clothing and just put her label on this sweet item.
I did some research as well and also came up with nothing on the name. But remem-ber that doesn’t make it not valuable. Just the fact that it is cloth, and a kangaroo, makes it collectible to someone. It’s just a matter of determining the age and purpose of it.
It looks to be from the 1940s to 1960s; it’s tough to tell just from photos. You need to be able to date it back to that time. Based on the size and form it could have held scis-sors, or possibly a thimble and needles. Or maybe it was just a sweet toy.
I would say the value is in the $20 range
just for the fact it is a nice animal and not a common one for a toy, sewing novelty, etc.
If you would bring it to someone to look at, you might get a clearer determination of what and how old it is, but I think the value would be in the same range.

HIPPO | JULY 23 - 29, 2015 | PAGE 34
Dear Car Talk:I write today to ask
that you clarify the role of idling when it comes to gasoline cars, diesel pickups and large, over-the-road commercial vehicles.
All the time, I see people sitting in their vehicles on a perfectly beautiful day, reading their mail at the post office, with their engines running, windows down or not. I see diesel pickup owners — and there are a lot of them in Texas — who will leave their trucks running, again in good weather, while they go into the convenience store or post office. Even more personal is the intrusion of an 18-wheeler into our neighborhood, which is against the restrictions, but no one is sufficiently motivated to call the authorities to correct the situation.
The most annoying aspect of it is the 30-plus minutes of elephant-rumbling idling that takes place prior to his depar-ture and upon his return.
I thought all this idling was basically unnecessary, “fuelish” and damaging to the engine, not to mention harmful to the
environment. I hope you can address this to a national audience, as it would have potential to do a lot of good. Thanks. — Patrick
You’re right about everything except harming the engine, Patrick.
These days, with fuel injection and computer engine management, cars and trucks can idle until they run out of gas without doing any extra damage to the engine (assuming the cooling system is working properly).
Idling does add wear and tear to the engine — anytime the engine is running, you’re decreasing the useful life of the oil and slowly wearing out parts. But it’s no more harmful than driving.
Unlike driving, however, idling is a complete waste of fuel. It also increas-es pollution, by a lot. And it’s entirely unnecessary. Modern cars can be driven immediately once they’re started. That’s the best, and fastest, way to warm them up.
There are exceptions. If it’s 3 degrees out, 30 seconds of idling to allow the oil to circulate is a good idea. And you’d want to drive at a modest speed, even after that, for a few minutes until the engine is up to operating temperature,
rather than jumping right on the high-way and flooring it. But 99 percent of the time, idling does nothing to help your engine.
It can improve your comfort — which is where you’re going to have a harder time persuading people to give up their idling.
If it’s 98 degrees out, and someone’s waiting for her husband to finish shop-ping for the latest radial arm saw with the optional butt scratcher at Tools R Us, you can see why she might want to have the air conditioner running.
But even then, she can turn off the engine, and when it starts to get uncom-fortable, she can turn it back on for a few minutes to cool things off.
Or how about this for an idea: Park in the shade!
Likewise, if it’s 3 degrees out, a lot of people want to warm up their cars until the leather seats have thawed enough to conform to their butts,rather than feeling like rocks.
And again, it’s hard to argue with that, if that’s how you want to spend your gas money.
But I would point out that a car warms up faster when it’s being driven, com-
pared with sitting in a driveway.On the other hand, your neighborhood
trucker has no justification for running his cab for half an hour before or after driving it.
Some diesel engines with turbo-char-gers call for three to five minutes of idling before shutting down, to allow the turbo to cool off.
But nothing calls for half an hour. And increasingly, jurisdictions are passing regulations prohibiting cars and trucks from idling, mostly because of the pollu-tion it generates.
So my suggestion would be to have a talk with your trucker neighbor. Tell him you know he’s just trying to make a living and you want to be a good neigh-bor, but the idling is too much. Tell him you’d be willing to overlook the regula-tions that prohibit 18-wheelers in your neighborhood if he’d be willing to lim-it the idling to no more than five minutes on either end.
Or, if he’s a lot bigger than you, leave a note on his windshield, and sign it from another neighbor you don’t like, then run. Good luck, Patrick.

IN/OUT CAREERS
Maureen Prendergast has been with the Animal Rescue League of New Hamp-shire, now located in Bedford, for 19 years. Her current job involves outreach to help people who are struggling to take care of their animals, and, if necessary, investigating situations that are harmful to animals.
Explain in one sentence what your current job is.
To provide services which will ultimately help pre-vent animal abuse and animals from having to be surrendered to the shelter.
How long have you worked there?
I’ve been with the shelter since 1996. I started out as a care staff per-
son and was shelter manager. ... I started my current position in 2004.
How did you get interested in this field?
Right out of college, I knew I wanted to do something with animals.
What kind of education or training did you need for this job?
In New Hampshire, investigators aren’t
certified, so a lot of it is seeking out the training yourself. Working at the shel-ter for a number of years prepares you for that, and I’ve taken … classes on my own.
How did you find your current job?I answered an ad in the paper the shelter
had when it was located in Goffstown, and as they say, the rest is history.
What do you wish you’d known at the beginning of your career?
To not be afraid of change. Things in
this field can change a lot, and there’s a high turnover because of the emotional aspect. I think when I was younger I wor-ried about that, but it’s kind of the ebb and flow of this field, and the change tends to bounce off my back a little better now.
What’s the best piece of work-related advice anyone’s ever given you?
You always make a difference, no mat-ter what.
What is your typical at-work uniform?It has to be something comfortable and
durable, yet presentable, so that can be jeans or khaki pants — as long as I can crawl around in whatever I’m wearing and it’s fairly tear-resistant.
What was the first job you ever had?An aide at a nursing home. — Angie Sykeny

News from the local food scene
By Allie [email protected]
• New pub in Bedford: The former Weathervane Seafood Restaurant on Route 101 in Bedford will be a traditional Irish pub by the end of next summer, accord-ing to an article in the Union Leader. Keith Murphy, Republican state representative, and his wife, Kelleigh Domaingue Murphy, Bedford Town Council vice chairwoman, have owned Murphy’s Taproom in Man-chester since 2007, which expanded to include Murphy’s Diner right next door in early 2012. The new location will incorpo-rate elements similar to Murphy’s Taproom with a focus on the food and family-friend-ly atmosphere. “I like the Irish pub concept because it’s always been a very inclusive concept,” Keith Murphy told the Union Leader. “I would look for it to be a notch or two up the ladder from Murphy’s Taproom Manchester, in terms of finishings and in terms of the menu.” Construction is expect-ed to begin in the spring.
• Red Arrow goes mobile: Interact with the Red Arrow Diner right from your smartphone using the new Red Arrow Din-er mobile app, now available for download to Apple and Android devices. According to a press release, the app will feature the Red Arrow menu, new Moe Deals, a loyalty pro-gram and directions to each of its locations in Manchester, Milford and Londonderry.
• Lobster and a cruise: The summer series of Lobsterfest cruises aboard the M/S Mount Washington continues on Friday, July 24, from 7 to 10 p.m. with an evening of live music, dancing, scenic views and of course, a lobster dinner. Guests may enjoy one lobster each along with a buffet of chicken, salads and desserts. Ship departs from Home Port (211 Lakeside Ave., Weirs Beach/Laconia). Tickets cost $54. Visit cruisenh.com.
• Focus on eating: If you’ve ever eat-en an entire bowl of chips without realizing it or wondered what a cup of cereal actu-ally looks like, head to the Amherst Town Library (14 Main St., Amherst, 673-2288, amherstlibrary.org) on Thursday, July 30, for “Mindful Eating” with Chef Liz Barbo-ur at 6:30 p.m. in the main reading room as part of the library’s “Minds Wide Awake” summer series for adults.

FOODSummertime brewsCraft beers (and chicken wings) at Summer Fest
By Allie [email protected]
Showcasing the wide selection of craft breweries New Hampshirites have to choose from, the Granite State Brewers Association Summer Fest will be held Sat-urday, July 25, at Arms Park in Manchester.
The association is now in its second year of promoting and protecting the craft beer industry in New Hampshire.
“With this surge in interest … now became a great time to organize ourselves so that we can help people realize that beer made in New Hampshire is awesome,” Bill Herlicka, founder and brewer of White Birch Brewing and founding president of the Granite State Brewers Association, said in a phone interview.
One of the main inspirations for gather-ing more than 30 of the state’s breweries in one location was to give people the oppor-tunity to find out about breweries in other communities.
“When we take a look at New Hampshire breweries, we tend to be spread out through a lot of the state,” Herlicka said. “We knew we wanted to do a festival to show people what we’re doing.”
Steve Allman, brewer and owner of Canterbury Aleworks, only sells from his taproom, so a festival like this gives great exposure.
“My clientele really is going to be pretty much more focused to where I am,” he said in a phone interview.
Those who come to Canterbury Ale-works tend to be locals rather than tourists, so spreading the word about his beer to those who live along the Interstate 93 corri-dor could bring in new business.
“It’s a great opportunity for New Hamp-shire brewers because we usually get stuck facing the trees and ... don’t get to see what our friends are doing,” Allman said. “It gives you that tight-knit snapshot of what is going on in New Hampshire and who’s involved. And the cool part is to be able to talk with the brewers and find out what their story is.”
Having the chance to engage with the brewers was an essential part in planning the festival, Herlicka said.
“We’re a small state and a small new organization,” Herlicka said. “Most of our members are a one-person to three-person company making beer their passion in their local area.”
Each brewery represented will have a table set up with samples for guests to try and either a brewer or owner to chat with.
“This isn’t like a brewery from Califor-nia with a [distribution] rep,” Herlicka said. “These are the actual businesses. You’re not going to find that at every festival.”
Since he runs a small operation, Allman thinks carefully about the purpose of a fes-tival before he joins in. The fact that he gets to talk with people about his experience and the work he puts into his beers made it an easy decision. He’ll most likely sam-ple Canterbury Alework’s Canterbury Ale American Pale Ale, Tim’s Bitter Boddi and Granite Ledge Stout.
Held in Arms Park right along the Mer-rimack River, guests buy a ticket for admission to the festival and once they’re in, they can sample the variety of beers.
“Sometimes it’s just nice to get out and enjoy and this is all about enjoying the great beers made in New Hampshire,” Herlicka said. “If you really want to chat with some of the brewers, guess what, they’re right there.”
Showcasing both the breweries and local business, food will be for sale from 7th Settlement, Chris’s Wicked (Beer) Ice Cream, Flatbread, Local Delights Cafe, Milly’s Tavern, Somerset Grille, The Pint Publik House and New England’s Tap House Grille. There will also be local live music, including a demonstration by the New Hampshire Police Association Pipes
and Drums.“It really is embracing the community,”
Herlicka said, noting that the goal is to pro-mote not only the state’s breweries but also Manchester and surrounding communities. “We’re not here to try to drag profits from this area and take them outside the state.”
To add another element of fun to the fest, the chicken wing competition will return as New England’s Tap House Grille looks to defend its championship against 7th Settle-ment, Milly’s Tavern and The Pint Publik House.
They chose chicken wings for the com-petition because it may seem like a simple dish, but in fact there is an art to making a good chicken wing. Plus, the food needed to be something that could be cooked and set up for in a fairly short amount of time. Brisket, for example, wouldn’t work well, Herlicka said.
New England’s Tap House Grille won last year’s competition with its house reci-pe for chicken wings and is excited to again be part of the event that benefits New Hori-zons adult homeless shelter, food pantry and soup kitchen.
“It’s a good cause and we think we can compete with just about anybody with our chicken wings,” Tina Leary, office manag-er, said in a phone interview. She said they expect some tough competition this year but are ready to head back to compete for the judges, one of whom will be Manches-ter Mayor Ted Gatsas.
“The backbone of New Hampshire is made up of small businesses, and small businesses are your neighbors,” Herlic-ka said. “If you’re interested in good beer and interested in what’s going on with New Hampshire and New Hampshire’s brewers, come down and check it out.”

Different colored raspberriesBranch out and pick red, golden or black this year
By Allie [email protected]
Pick-your-own enthusiasts can add another berry to their list of fresh summer fruits to enjoy, as many New Hampshire farms now have raspberries ripe for picking.
“We all grew up picking red raspber-ries from somewhere,” Dan Hicks, owner of Sunnycrest Farm in Londonderry, said in a phone interview. “Red raspberries are also a wild raspberry around here so you can go on your treeline and find red rasp-berries, so I think we’re all traditionally used to [them].”
However, in recent years some farmers have introduced raspberries of a different color.
Brookdale Fruit Farm in Hollis has red, golden and black raspberry varieties.
“We’ve extended different varieties of raspberries just to expand … because people once they come and pick red they want to have other choices,” Leigh Byers-Hardy, pick-your-own manager, said in a phone interview. “We were able and have the land available to do several different varieties of raspberries and it just keeps bringing people back.”
More common than the golden rasp-berries but less so than the traditional red are black raspberries, which Byers-Har-dy said are not the same as blackberries and have a few features to keep in mind when picking.
“The one thing people don’t know with black raspberries is they turn red before black,” she said. “We label all our rows so they are aware of what row is what. And black raspberries do not ripen after you pick them, so pick them [when] they’re black.”
Sunnycrest Farm has red as well as golden raspberries, which Hicks said are “really picking up,” once people try the somewhat oddly colored berry. While there are many varieties of each kind of raspberry, Hicks said their golden variety, “goldies,” tend to have a firmer texture than most red raspberries.
“The golden ones hold their form bet-ter,” he said, noting that they also have a good, sweet flavor. “But it’s getting peo-ple to get used to the gold color that we have the most problem with because it’s not the traditional.”
Byers-Hardy said Brookdale’s gold-en raspberries start out white and take on an orange-yellow tinge once they ripen, a stark contrast to the rich red color many are accustomed to.
Both Hicks and Byers-Hardy said that
they encourage people to taste and decide before picking a bucketful to take home.
“When we’re out in the pick-your-own beds and they see the red and golden we tell them, ‘You’ve got to try them. Don’t be afraid,’” Hicks said. “I have a lot of people coming back [that] will mix the red and golden in their box for more of a different flavor.”
“Best thing to do is taste it before you pick it,” Byers-Hardy said. “If they’ve never tried, taste one before they pick a whole thing.”
Keep raspberries fresher longer
One of the biggest mistakes people make after picking fresh raspberries is wash-ing them right away. “What’s best is to not wash until ready to eat,” Byers-Har-dy said. That makes them less prone to mold, as does storing them in the refrig-erator without a lid. “The best thing is to keep them in an open container and they last a bit longer,” she said. “Raspber-ries do not have an extremely long shelf life compared to other berries but if you refrigerate them and wash when you need that’s the best advice you can give.”
Months of raspberries
Right now at Sunnycrest Farm you’ll find red raspberries that will last through August, with the fall red raspberry vari-eties carrying through October. Their fall variety golden raspberries will be ready toward the end of August. Brookdale Fruit Farm currently has plenty of red and golden raspberries that will contin-ue through the summer and fall, with the black raspberries wrapping up by the end of July.
Black raspberries are red first and turn black when they’re ready to be picked. Photo courtesy of Brookdale Fruit Farm.

Feast in the fieldEnjoy a farm to table dinner outdoors
By Allie [email protected]
Giving guests the chance to dine on the grounds where their food was grown, Beans and Greens Farm, Timber Hill Farm and The Common Man will come together to host the fifth annual Farm to Table Dinner in the Field.
“People are so removed from their food sources in this day and age,” Martina Howe, one of the owners of the family-run Beans and Greens, said in a phone interview. “[This dinner] is in an effort to let the public see where food is coming from.”
On Friday, July 24, diners will take a tractor-drawn wagon ride past the farm’s various crops to a meadow complete with a long table adorned with flowers from the farm overlooking the lake and mountains. The ingredients for the meal are provided by Beans and Greens, including a selection of in-season produce and their own farm-raised meat. The Common Man will prepare and serve the dinner for the first time this year, working with the farm to present a menu with items like ratatouille, fresh picked sal-
ads and corn on the cob.“We have a pretty close relationship with
them [Common Man] and update them every week as to what veggies are on the farm,” Howe said.
The chefs will adjust and add items to the menu depending on what is just coming in.
Now that the dinner has reached its half-decade mark, Howe said, one of the goals for this year is to make it classy.
“We’ve tried to step it up,” she said, noting that having the trained staff and servers from the Common Man helps raise the formality, and it “definitely makes it less stressful for us, because we’re not a restaurant or caterers — we’re a farm.”
Timber Hill Farm, sister farm of Beans and Greens, will lend its event space and new sailcloth tent to house the dance floor — and the dinner if it rains or gets too warm. The evening will include live music from Phil’n the Blanks, a bonfire and s’mores and desserts from Ooh La La Creative Cakes.
There won’t be any formal speaking dur-ing the dinner, Howe said, since the goal of the evening isn’t to advertise their business, but to bring a focus to local food and most importantly to have fun.
“It gives them [guests] a chance to get to know who we are and who our family is,” Howe said. “To connect the people to where their food is coming from [and] to see who we are, what we do, and see why it’s impor-tant to see where their food is coming from [and] to know their farmer.”

IN T
HE
Kitchen WITH JIMMY DONEHUEJimmy Donehue has a passion for pizza — and not just making pizza, but eating it as often as he can. He’s been a cook at Romano’s Pizza (27 Colby Road, Litch-field, 424-0500, romanosnh.com) for three years, but Donehue’s obsession with pizza started when the simi-lar-minded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hit the screen in the late ‘80s. He got his first job making pizzas when he was 15 years old working as a prep cook at The Homestead Restaurant in Londonderry. Now, Donehue creates specialty pizzas, drawing inspiration from oth-er foods and his own cravings. Whether at home or at work, he makes sure each finished product is beauti-ful, honing the skill he said is essential for all good pizza makers — patience.
What is your must-have kitchen item?You definitely need a pizza slicer, [and] I
would definitely go with an oven. Can’t do much without those two things.
What is the most unique pizza you’ve ever eaten?
For me personally it would either have to be a barbecue bacon cheeseburger pizza or chicken parm pizza. It’s on our summer spe-cial menu and it’s been a huge hit.
What is your favorite pizza topping or top-ping combination?
My favorite pizza topping would definitely be sweet ground sausage. Favorite combi-nation would have to be sausage, meatball, bacon.
Favorite restaurant besides your own?It’s this little place up in Laconia; it’s called
The Country Kitchen. It’s a nice little local joint, kind of tucked away in the trees by the water.
What celebrity would you like to share a pizza with?
I think Jack Black … we would definitely have a fun pizza together. Plus our personal-ities are very similar. Both goofy guys and both musicians too.
What is your favorite meal to cook at home?
Is it bad that that’s pizza? My favorite thing to cook at home is pizza. It’s a fun process though, because I make it on the weekends when I have my daughter. If I don’t bring her into here … we’ll make pizza at home.
What would you choose for your last meal?
Pizza. Chicken parm pizza. It’s got a gar-lic butter crust, it’s got ziti, it’s got breaded chicken tenders [and marinara sauce] and I [would add] a little bit of meatball and a lit-tle bit of bacon on top. That would be my last meal, hands down.

FOOD
Teriyaki steak
It’s barbecue season again, and in my house, that means meat — and company — at almost every meal. From hamburgers and sausages to pork and steak, the protein served is always fresh, but the recipes I fol-low capitalize on the staples I have in my pantry.
Hosting summer soirées can be expen-sive, especially if you’re treating guests to ribs, steak and chicken. That’s why I strive to utilize as many pantry ingredients as I can when it comes to seasoning and serv-ing the main course. Staples like soy sauce, cider vinegar and honey appear in many marinades and sauces, and despite being pantry ingredients, they can add freshness and sumptuous flavors to many dishes.
It’s simple to find a million marinade recipes online or in basic cookbooks and to avoid serving the same dish night after night. Minor tweaks to a base marinade can create unique flavor combinations and spice up otherwise boring meals.
The recipe I started with for this teri-yaki steak was courtesy of the barbecue section of About.com. With a few helpful hints from my husband, I was able to create a noteworthy teriyaki sauce that went great on the steak and the broccoli served with it.
The marinade started with soy sauce, cider vinegar, honey and vegetable oil. Pineapple, onion, garlic and ginger round-
ed out the recipe, but I also added paprika, parsley and, thanks to my husband’s sug-gestion, a hint of lemongrass.
The base marinade packed a variety of flavors, but the smokiness from the papri-ka and the citrus aromas of the lemon grass brought the marinade to a completely dif-ferent level.
I love to use pineapple all summer long, and my motto in most things is “the sweet-er the better.” And while I had a heavy hand when it came to adding the pineapple to the marinade, the acidity of the cider vinegar and the citrus notes from the lemongrass tempered the marinade so it wasn’t cloy-ingly sweet.
The hints of garlic and ginger added depth of flavor to the marinade, and the notes of both were only enhanced during cooking. I set some of the marinade aside to use later when sautéing the broccoli, and the florets soaked up the flavors that were positively bursting with every bite.
Because meat and veggies are never enough, my husband whipped up a side of fried rice, which served as a great bed for both the steak and the broccoli. Over-all, the marinade proved delicious — on the protein and the veggies — and used pantry ingredients to make a budget-friendly meal. — Lauren Mifsud

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Pour over protein and/or veggies and let sit for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator, covered. Before cooking protein, remove from marinade and set excess aside. Brush the protein with the remaining marinade periodically until done.

DRINK
It’s not all Champagne Celebrate with all kinds of sparkling wine
By Stefanie [email protected]
I attended a bachelorette party for my sister-in-law to be recently, where spar-kling wine was a must-have. If you aren’t sure what the difference between sparkling wine, Champagne and similar beverages is, you aren’t alone. Even after many years of trying wine and attending numerous tastings, the differences still escape me at times. Here’s a basic breakdown, because, as they say, not everything that sparkles is Champagne.
Whenever I think of a special occasion, I think of Champagne: New Year’s Eve, engagements, weddings, anniversaries. Many people may think this is a general term for a sparkling wine and that it can be used interchangeably, but actually it can only be called Champagne if it comes from France.
According to TotalWine.com, the Cham-pagne region is located 90 miles northeast of Paris. This sparkling concoction cannot be called Champagne unless it comes from this region, and that isn’t just proper, but it is actually the law.
History credits Dom Pérignon for his involvement in making what was called “the mad wine,” according to TotalWine.com, as it was originally created as a still wine. In the 17th century, he developed blending techniques, used heavy glass bot-tles and cork stoppers to keep the bottles from exploding.
Today, Champagne is viewed as, well, the Champagne of sparkling wines, because people typically think it is expensive. It definitely can be (I found one listed on the New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlet site for $4,200) but there are a few $30 to $50 options as well.
You can find it in a range of sweetness levels, with brut nature being the driest and doux the sweetest. Look at the label for more information.
What many people may not realize is that creating sparkling wine is a pro-cess that requires patience and precision. Champagne is made using a classic French Champenoise method, which lends itself to the price, and involves rotating the bottles ever so slightly. You kind of get what you pay for here.
So what should you do if you want to celebrate a special occasion but you don’t want to spend that much on Champagne? Prosecco is an affordable option that was introduced in 2009 according to an article by the Huffington Post.
This Italian sparkling wine comes from Veneto and is made using glera grapes.
Sometimes pinot blanc or pinot grigio grapes are added as well. You can pick up a decent bottle for $12 to $20. It’s available in brut, extra dry and dry.
This wine is made using the Char-mat method, which allows the wine to go through a second fermentation in tanks, rather than in the bottle. This means wine-makers do not have to turn the bottles daily as they do when making Champagne.
I was lucky enough to attend a processo tasting last year and it was pretty interest-ing to learn about this wine. It is my go-to sparkling wine when I want to celebrate or make mimosas. It is said to be the ide-al ingredient in the Venetian Bellini, which combines prosecco and fresh peach juice.
Asti is another Italian sparkling wine made from moscato grapes that is sweet with low alcohol. It is named for the region where it is produced. You may see it listed as asti spumante.
Cava is another option and is Spain’s version of sparkling wine. It is made with macacebeu, parellada and xarello grapes. Chardonnay and pinot noir are sometimes used as well. This wine is made using the traditionnelle method, which is the same as the Champagne method but can’t real-ly be called that since it doesn’t take place in France. It is available in many sweet-ness levels like Champagne, ranging from brut nature to dolce, with dolce being the sweetest.
You may also see cava rosado, which has a pink hue to it. It is made with the rare tre-pat grape.
If you’re saying to yourself, “I have never heard of cava,” you’re probably not alone. It isn’t the most famous sparkling wine, but it’s still a great choice and is affordable at around $15 for a good bottle. The New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Out-lets carry a variety of cavas and many are priced under $20.

sharpened for this Chicago prog band. Just look at ‘em — four A/V nerds in glasses and a girl singer, the latter just happening to be a former Top 10 final-ist on (eyeroll) American Idol. Banzai, right? But no, this is surprisingly good egghead-rock, demonstrating for pos-terity the reason why they’ve won slots opening for Kansas and King Crim-son’s John Wetton, who thinks they’re utterly awesome. I suppose they are, now that he mentions it, even if the
Rick Wakeman-esque keyboards sound a little dated, especially on “Handle-bars.” The ever-shifting palette ranges from Beyonce-diva (the opening bits of “A Lottery”) to Meshuggah-inspired speed-doom (“Death by a Thousand Cuts”) with plenty of regular-joe prog-rock touchstones that recall Asia, Evanescence, things like that. I’m far too jaded at this point to flip out over this, but jeez, this band really is good — check out how “All’s Well That Ends Well” so ambitious-ly mimics Yes’s “Close to the Edge.” Dig that crazy cover art while you’re at it. A+ — Eric W. Saeger
Omar Souleyman, Bahdeni Nami (Monkeytown Records)There’s nothing funnier than watch-
ing honkies dance confusedly to wildly ethnic tuneage — I’ll have to find some YouTube footage of this Syrian not-really-crossover singer when he hit Bonnaroo in 2014. The actual genre under discussion here is Dabke, a Mid-dle Eastern chorus-line-ish dance that looks like it’d be a lot of fun on Free Jello-shot Night, but in this case it’s supercharged with electronic inputs — not that it’s easy telling the loops from the analog instruments (tablas, Ouds
and daffs if we must get pedantic). Souleyman’s voice is, of course, enthusiastic but omniscient at the same time, as much a carnival bark as a melodic conduit, thus it’s not overly conducive to balladry, only the frenzied whirling-dervish world music that comprises this stuff. Producers Four Tet, Modeselektor and Gilles Peterson have cleaned up Souleyman’s sound but not the mess — if any-thing’s poised to replace Gogol Bordello in the knuckleball-indie space, this is it.

PLAYLISTA seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases
• Over on the planet of white soul divas, Joss Stone waits phleg-matically for unwary prey to buy/pirate/whatnot her new album, Water For Your Soul, when it hits the mean streets and badlands of your local abandoned strip-mall. The first single is “The Answer,” which will be a huge success, if your idea of success is making all the hateful preteens go, “Woah, I didn’t know Beyonce was into salsa!” Because that’s exactly what it sounds like. Not a lot of adventurous vocal gymnastics here, just simple phoned-in pan-dering to… you know, whoever was hoping Beyonce would do salsa. Did I miss a meeting about this or something?
• Hmm, it’s Albert Hammond Jr., I know that name from someplace … oh barf, he’s that singing dingbat from the Strokes! Did any of you people buy a Strokes album after First Impres-sions of Earth, because we need to have a long talk if you did. So yeah, new Albert Hammond Jr. album, called Momentary Mas-ters, let’s go yak on our YouTube monitors together. Here’s the single, called “Born Slippy,” and … wait, it’s a skit, some lady on the phone … nope, it’s a song. It starts out with some quirky ditty that he probably stole from a Vampire Weekend demo session that yielded nothing they could use, and now it sounds like R.E.M. No seriously, I mean he sounds like Michael Stipe. See what you get when no one listens to my warnings? For heaven’s sake, Albert Hammond Jr., what are you doing?
• Now this is cool, this band called Teenage Time Killers! All of you kids need to get off my lawn, put down your chocolate-frosted Gummy Bears, shut off your twee-pop and go listen to this hateful burst of punk deviance. The album is called Greatest Hits Vol. 1, which is a great title to use when your band is only a year old and consists of guys from My Ruin and Corrosion of Confor-mity and Sunn(((O))) and you’re toxic enough to get Jello Biafra to sing on your album. This slab of depravity includes the song “Ode to Sean Hannity,” a dulcet, lovely 90-second outburst that evokes Animal Boy-era Joey Ramone fronting Bad Brains. I hope it will touch your heart as it did mine.
• New Jersey-based band Titus Andronicus loves them some Neutral Milk Hotel records, so let’s go see if this band is cool like that, as their new LP The Most Lamentable Tragedy is due next week. Hmm, maybe not. “Fatal Flaw” is the single, and it sounds like John Cougar, but with more indie. Why are there ninety peo-ple playing onstage on this video when all it would take is a guy with a laptop and a hemp necklace? OK, now it’s starting to get more interesting, like they actually would need a lot of people. It’s sort of like if New York Dolls jammed with Springsteen’s band. Freaky people will flip out over it, and then get bored and move on to something else. — Eric W. Saeger

WARNER FILM SERIESFor the first summer since the Jim Mitch-
ell Community Park stage was built, MainStreet Warner Inc. hosts a documentary film series on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. at the park (located behind MainStreet BookEnds, 16 E. Main St., War-ner). All the films in this series focus on themes
of permaculture, natural resources, sustainabil-ity and the environment, with discussions and
guest speakers to follow each screening. The next — Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?
— happens Tuesday, July 28, taking viewers through the catastroph- ic disappearance of bees and the mysterious world of the beehive.
The next film in the series is Dirt! The Movie, which screens Tuesday, Aug. 25. The flick is narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis and is about the environmental, economic, social and political impact of soil, with stories by experts from all over the world. The final film of the series shows Tuesday, Sept. 29: Genetic Rou-lette, a documentary that provides evidence to help explain the deteriorating health of Americans (hint: it involves genetically-modified crops). All screenings are free, but donations are appreciated to help cover the costs of screenings, park maintenance and other MainStreet Warner community events. Local food will be available, and the events happen rain or shine (except that in the case of rain, the film will be shown in the BookEnds gallery instead of outside in the park). Visit mainstreetwarnerinc.org.

Beyond Words: What Ani-mals Think and Feel, by Carl Safina (Henry Holt and Com-pany, 411 pages)
Beyond Words is not so much a book as a conversation, the kind in which you are trapped in a cor-ner with a relative whose stories, while interesting, go on much longer than basic human empa-thy and politeness should allow.
Also, it lies. Its cover promis-es the book explores what animals think and feel, but mostly, it’s about what elephants and wolves think and feel. If elephants and wolves are your thing, entrancement awaits.
Carl Safina is a smart and compassionate man who, in addition to earning a Ph.D. in ecology from Rutgers University, has won assorted fellowships and literary awards. He has written six other books, mostly about sea creatures. You may know him from a 10-part PBS series called “Saving the Ocean with Carl Safina.” His essays on wildlife — such as a New York Times piece on tapping your inner wolf — are thoughtful and compelling.
But what makes an interesting 1,000 words makes for a tedious 200,000. This is the prob-lem with Beyond Words. There are simply too many of them, arranged haphazardly.
The destination Safina seeks is a new way of seeing animals, one that dismisses the old insistence that science not delve into animals’ thinking and emotions. Until recently, Safina says, “Suggesting that animals can feel any-thing wasn’t just a conversation stopper; it was a career killer.”
Partly this was because it is wrong to assume that animals think and feel like humans do. But partly it was because, if they have even a fraction of the consciousness humans do, it would be wrong to experiment on them, imprison them, slaughter them or eat
them. Much of humans’ way of life requires the relegation of ani-mals to a lower rung.
An accumulating body of research, however, provides dis-comfiting evidence that animals and humans are more similar than dissimilar, and that it’s not scientif-ically dishonest to conclude that an elephant is afraid if it acts afraid.
The lowly crayfish, you may be sorry to know, gets anxious when
it is administered electrical shocks, so you can forget about all that nonsense about how lobsters feel nothing when plunged in a pot of boiling water. As Safina wryly notes, “Per-haps try the pasta.”
So far so good. But then begins a treatise on elephant life, which is interesting, yes, in a book about elephants. But it consumes a third of the book, which is more elephant than the average reader needs. There is a his-tory of elephants, elephants mating, elephants dying, elephants grieving, elephants eating. (Cue Bubba’s recitation of shrimp in Forrest Gump: Shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad….) Much is interesting, like the story of the elderly woman, lost on a plain, who was tenderly covered with sticks by a group of elephants — whether to bury her or pro-tect her from night predators was not clear. And there is a truly extraordinary photo-graph, among others in the book, that shows a female elephant, just mated, surrounded by her inquisitive family, her facial glands streaming, with an expression such that no one could deny that elephants feel rapture.
But enough of these elephants. On to the wolves! With no discernible segue, Safi-na launches into another stand-alone book, an examination of the wolves of Yellow-stone National Park. What do wolves feel? If anyone should know, it’s Rick McIntyre,
“alpha wolf watcher,” who has been watch-ing the wolves there, every single day, for 15 years. “Rick can glance through a telescope at a wolf on a ridge a mile away and instant-ly tell you who it is by name, and recite its life,” Safina says. Yellowstone’s wolves are famous because they were re-introduced into the park — flown from Canada — after the elk population exploded. Their story dem-onstrates the difficulties humans face when trying to study animals objectively. Many people, from researchers to farmers, number animals rather than name them, as to not grow attached. (Safina notes that the famous natu-ralist Jane Goodall’s first scientific paper was rejected because she called the chimpanzees she studied by name instead of number.)
At Yellowstone, the wolves have num-bers, not names. But curiously, the numbers have become names, with all the affectionate baggage. “Designate a wolf ‘25’, and wolf watchers will begin to think of Twenty-five as the animal’s name, because wolves reveal themselves as individuals, with relationships and personalities. A wolf is a ‘who’.”
So, what do wolves think and feel? The late superwolf called Twenty-one used to play with the pups of his pack, wrestling, and then pretending to lose. This, wolf research-ers say, indicated sophisticated patterns of thought; the ability to pretend is a measure of high intelligence.
Like elephants, they clearly grieve, and the deaths of individuals matter, affecting a group’s dynamics in the short term and the long and giving credence to Safina’s insistence that a wolf is a who, not an it. Ultimately, Safina’s conclusion about what animals feel and think (and he does eventually get around to animals other than wolves and elephants; mostly sea creatures, of course) mirrors something he says about dogs: “You can’t know what your dog is thinking — except when you can.” C+ — Jennifer Graham

Book Report• Book launch, hike:
Author Charles Butterfield will attend a book launch event for his newest work, Seeking Parmenter: A Memoir of Place, published by Brookline publishing house Hobblebush Books, on Sunday, July 26, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, 73 Main St., Antrim. The book is about a man who tramps back to the family farm
he knew as a boy to probe the remains of the place he worked and played. The book pulls from Butterfield’s training as a biologist and appreciation of literature; he holds graduate degrees in biology and English, and during his 38 years teaching science, he published arti-cles in numerous journals. He also taught English at the Nathaniel Hawthorne College and Southern Vermont College. He and his wife Nancy Butterfield current-ly live in Hinsdale. Before the reading, there will be an optional trip to the places described in the book, which will meet at and leave from Butterfield Farm (locat-ed two miles down the road from the church on Route 31) at 1 p.m. and last about an hour; those participants should dress for hiking.
• Fantasy slam: Participants in the Odyssey Writing Workshop have been hard at work the past six weeks writing and re-writing fantasy, science fiction and hor-ror stories on the Saint Anselm College campus in Manchester. They finish it off with a slam at Barnes & Noble, 1741 S. Willow St., Manchester, on Wednes-day, July 29, at 6 p.m., which will showcase the work of those 23 fantasy, sci-fi and horror writers. The nonprof-it, led by Jeanne Cavelos, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Visit sff.net/odyssey/workshop.html for more information. — Kelly Sennott

NITEElephant’s taleThe many sounds of Nemes
By Michael [email protected]
Conventional wisdom in music holds that the song is king and the long-playing record is dead, but Nemes is having none of it. The Boston quartet — pronounced “knee-miss” — is a diverse lot, and pin-ning them down is a bit like the fable of four blind men touching different parts of an elephant. Everything depends on where one lands.
“Everest Isle,” a literate and lively man-dolin-charged romp leading off their new album I Carry Your Heart, is reminiscent of Mumford and Sons. Conversely, “99 Cars” is a gorgeous blend of Punch Broth-ers melancholy hitched to a slow-moving Band train. Sounding like neither of those is the grungy “Black Streak,” featuring otherworldly fiddle shredding from Josh Knowles.
“Each song offers something different, which has been a blessing and a curse,” Nemes co-founder and guitarist Dave Anthony said in a recent interview. “It’s a really great thing when people sit down and listen to all of them, but if someone has checked out only one, they can end up pigeonholing the band.”
Bass player Alex Glover relishes chal-lenging listeners. He talked about “Tengo Nada,” a song bound to confound and con-fuse. It sounds like Los Lobos getting back to its roots, and is sung without a word of English.
“It was kind of a thing with us … should we do that, are people going to think we’re a Spanish band?” Glover said. “I was like, ‘I don’t care if those people aren’t smart enough to listen to the whole album.’”
When Nemes released a vinyl version of the new record, a surprisingly recep-tive audience greeted them on Reddit. They may be the first band to monetize the read-and-recommend website.
“I put a post on the vinyl section saying
our band did our first one, here’s a picture of the package and I’m really proud of it,” Glover said. “I didn’t even post a link, but people did the research [and] we ended up selling over 50 or 60 records overnight.”
Most gratifying is the fact that “vinyl lis-teners always listen all the way through, and gave us some of the most positive feedback we have ever received,” he said. “These are people who’ve never seen our live show, but listened to our record back to back.”
The shape-shifting band may shock even those folks should they come to a show. Songs are rarely performed note for note.
“It’s louder and different live; we like to jam a lot,” Anthony said. “You’ve gotta let the songs breathe, man, let them do what they want.”
For example, “Black Streak” clocks in at 2 minutes and 24 seconds on I Carry Your Heart, while a live in the studio version on YouTube is nearly double that, with a slowed down, bluesy interlude added.
“We wanted to get the songs in people’s ears,” Glover said. “After we recorded we decided to flesh things out … that’s a forte of ours.”
That’s an understatement; the power of Nemes’ live show netted them a New Eng-land Music Award nomination in 2014, and got them to the finals of this year’s Boston Rock n’ Roll Rumble, where they finished in the top three. In a perfect world, they’d
play even more shows. “We are looking to break into more of a touring and less of a weekend warrior circuit,” said Glover. “We are well equipped to play five days a week for two months at a stretch.”
They’re busy of late, on the bill at Bos-ton Calling and Outside the Box in their hometown, along with gigs in New York City, Philadelphia and festivals in Maine and upstate New York. Later in the summer they’ll play the Institute of Contemporary Art in western Massachusetts and travel to Delaware for a show at Dogfish Head Brewery.
On July 24, they return to Riverwalk Café in Nashua, a venue they appeared at last March. Modern Fools will again join as supporting act.
“They’re super mellow and really good with tones and delay,” Glover said. “Both bands really like each other.”
For those wondering about the group’s uncommon name, it came from a good friend of Anthony’s.
“One of my first bands was with a kid named Chris Nemes,” he said. “Chris got kicked out his house and had to move away, so we named the band after him. He was a really great friend and early influence on me as a guitar player.”
Has his old friend ever acknowledged this legacy?
“Yeah,” Anthony said. “He says he wants half the money.”

• Pioneers: Emerging from the first wave of British punk, The Mekons stood apart almost immediately and have remained a moving target throughout the years. They’ve shifted from rock to folk and country, and spent time in the art world, while maintaining a reputa-tion for explosive shows. The band’s history is the subject of a new documentary, Revenge of the Mekons. See The Mekons on Friday, July 24, at 8 p.m., at 3S Artspace, 319 Vaughan St., Portsmouth. Tickets $20 at 3sarts.org.
• At last: The long-awaited release from progressive rockers Mindset X has a home-town listening party, with live support from Rhode Island band Vulgarrity. Oceans, made with help from Porcupine Tree guitarist John Wesley and members of Carl Palmer’s band, is a concept album crafted for a full-length experience. A few pre-release copies may be given away at the show. Mindset X Listen-ing Party with Vulgarrity on Friday, July 24, 8 p.m., at Penuche’s, 96 Hanover St., Manches-ter. See facebook.com/mindsetx.
• Homecoming: Though he now lives in Nashville, Tom Dixon spends a big chunk of the summer months back in his home region. For his first return show, the country rocker bookends the Boot Scootin’ Boogie 5K, with pre- and post-race music. Also appearing are Alec MacGillivray and Keeghan Nolan, part of the Taste of Nashville Tour. See them Sat-urday, July 25, at 6:15 p.m., at Londonderry Athletic Fields, 98 Sargent Road, Londonder-ry. See millenniumrunning.com/boots.
• Mad man: Americana godfather and violin-maker David Bromberg released Only Slightly Mad last year, the latest gem in a string of albums dating back to his 1972 solo debut, which featured a George Harrison co-write. The singer-songwriter moves from traditional folk blues to wry originals, and his storytelling cover of Jerry Jeff Walker’s “Mr. Bojangles” is a treasure. See David Brom-berg on Sunday, July 26, at 7 p.m., at Tupelo Music Hall, 2 Young Road, Londonderry. Tickets are $45-$55 at tupelohall.com.
• Buzzworthy: Rolling Stone named Christopher Paul Sterling one of 10 New Artists You Need to Know, comparing the singer-songwriter to David Gray and Tall-est Man on Earth. After self-releasing two albums, Sterling is now with Anti-, home to Tom Waits. His latest CD, said RS, “delights at the threshold of polished folk-pop and rus-tic old folk.” See Sterling Monday, July 27, at 8 p.m. at Portsmouth Book & Bar, 40 Pleas-ant St., Portsmouth. See bookandbar.com.

SIGNS OF LIFEAll quotes are from True Love, by Jennifer
Lopez, born July 24, 1969.Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) I was so wrapped
up in keeping up with my schedule and giving people what they wanted that I neglected to ask myself what I wanted. What do you want?
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Okay, so now I’m thinking, keep the diamond rings, the Bentleys, the doves, the trips to Europe … Keep all of it! I can buy all those things myself. Give me your time, your honesty, your respect, kindness, patience, fidelity. Keep the good stuff.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) “Give me that!” she said, and snatched a water pistol out of my hand, charging those photogra-phers like a mama bear on a rampage. … The paparazzi seemed terrified of the crazy lady with the water pistol, and they all start-ed to scatter, yelling and cursing in French. But my mom kept on limp-running at every-one, spraying water left and right. Give as good as you get.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) I’m being buckled into the rig on a twelve-by-twelve-inch platform. The huge, full-feather train of my white skirt pours over the edges…. I’m about to ascend sixty feet into the air. I know it’s crazy, because the crew is watching with faces that say, This is crazy! Check in with your crew.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) The irony is, being on American Idol for two seasons was the very thing that gave me the strength to realize I needed to get back to doing the other things that I do. It’s time for the other things that you do.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) My moth-er … would always find a way to make me laugh. She’s not as good at serious con-versation, or the more intimate parts of a relationship, and that sometimes drives me crazy, but she will make you laugh until you
pee your pants. Spend time with whoever makes you laugh.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) No two artists are alike, just like no two people are alike. That’s why there is no competition in artistry. Just do your own thing.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) Each rela-tionship was different and each relationship had its issues. But there was one thing they all had in common: They all had a passion-ate intensity that I mistook, every time, for my happily ever after. Be careful not to mis-take intensity for depth.
Aries (March 21 – April 19) We used to dance and sing together, my sisters and I, putting on little shows in the living room. We did it because we loved it, because it was fun to act like we were on a stage somewhere. You could get so much material just walk-ing down the street, seeing people and what they were wearing, and going into stores and listening to them talk. The Bronx was alive with sound and color and life, and I soaked it all up. It’s a good time to soak up the sound and color.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Now, under-stand, I had never done a triathlon before. … On the morning of the race, as I was standing there … about to jump into the ocean, I real-ized that this probably wasn’t the best idea I ever had. Prepare for a new experience.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20) The notion of getting up in front of everyone and being yourself is really terrifying. So be kind to those who do it.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22) I’m a dancer — that’s who I am. I’m most happy and free and alive when I’m dancing. I wanted to get back to that feeling, that person. I wanted to feel happiness again. I wanted to feel love again. And that’s what music does. Music is a declaration of what life is and what you want it to be. Turn it up.

Government in action• WOOD-TV of Grand Rapids, Mich-
igan, seemingly uncovered an antiquity if not a potential vulnerability in the Grand Rapids public school system in June when it reported that the heating and cooling sys-tems at 19 schools are controlled using a Commodore Amiga computer (released in the 1980s, about the same time as Windows 2.0), operating on an early Internet modem. It had been installed by a computer-savvy student and, according to the maintenance supervisor, still works fine. Fortunately, the supervisor said, the student still lives in the area and is available if problems arise.
• Recurring Theme: Government offi-cials who insist on such “bells and whistles” as redesigning their department’s logo are often ridiculed for wasting taxpay-er money (yet design consultants continue to sell the illusion that a new logo can give a bureaucracy a refreshing rebirth). In May, Tennessee officials unveiled a new state logo (which cost only $46,000 not count-ing the expense of changing signs, cards, stationery, etc.), which consists of the let-ters “TN” in white inside a red box with a blue trim underneath. (A Watchdog.org critic suggested a contest to design a supe-rior one, but open only to kids age 12 and under, with the prize a $50 Amazon.com gift certificate.)
New World orderIn 1993, the owner of the iconic 5Pointz
building in New York City began allow-ing graffiti artists to use the walls for their masterpieces, but by 2013 had grown wea-ry of the building’s look and had the walls whitewashed. In June 2015, nine of the art-ists filed a federal lawsuit demanding that the owner compensate them, substantial-ly, for destroying their creations and they stand a good chance of collecting (under the Visual Artists Rights Act) if they prove their particular works are of “recognized stature” and not merely art of an “ephem-eral nature.” At its height, 5Pointz attracted more than 350 artists’ works from around the world.
Animal world• A June entry in Wired.com’s “Absurd
Creature of the Week” series warned of the Beaded Lacewing that preys on termites by first immobilizing them with a “vapor-phase toxicant” released from its anus. The silent-but-deadly gas is reportedly power-ful enough to disable six ordinary termites for up to three hours (plenty of time for a sumptuous meal of termite) and weak-en several more that might get caught in the backdraft. Wired.com also learned of the related species Chrysoperla coman-che, whose anal weaponry is in solid form, wielded by “master contortionists” who lift
their abdomens in order to directly contact their victims’ head.
• Suspicion Confirmed: In June 2015 research, scientists from Britain’s Univer-sity of Exeter and Queen Mary University of London warned that owners of “domes-tic” cats seem not, on average, to appreciate what vicious killers their pets are and urge, for instance, that they be kept indoors more often lest they decimate the neighborhood’s bird and small-mammal populations. Esti-mates of the yearly death toll generated by housecats are “in the magnitude of millions” in the United Kingdom and “bil-lions” in the United States.
• The “parasitic ways” of the cuckoo bird were remarked upon “as far back as Aris-totle,” wrote a Wall Street Journal book reviewer in May, but some biologists may not have believed the behavior because it was so cold-blooded. The bird, according to Nick Davies’ book “Cuckoo: Cheating by Nature,” lays its eggs in other species’ nests to trick those birds into incubating the cuckoos, who then hatch and kick the eggs of their host out of the nest. The mother cuckoo, it is said, times her mating sched-ule so that her eggs mature just before the victims’ eggs would. Hence, according to Davies, she is “nature’s most notorious cheat.”
PerspectiveTo cover various general expenses (such
as helping the indigent), the average hospi-tal mark-up for patient care in the United States is about 3.4 times costs (according to a Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health report in June), but 50 of the nation’s 5,000 hospitals charge more than
10 times the cost, with the North Okaloo-sa Medical Center near Pensacola, Florida, billing at 12.6 times costs. According to the co-author, professor Gerard Anderson, the 50 “are marking up the prices because no one is telling them they can’t.” (Forty-nine of the 50 are for-profit hospitals, and 20 are in Florida.)
Least competent criminalsConfused: (1) Christopher Furay, 33,
pleaded guilty in Pittsburgh in April to six bank robberies the first four in which surveillance video revealed him to have a reddish beard and the last two in which the video revealed him to be wearing a fake red beard covering his reddish beard. Furay did not explain. (2) In June, police in Roseville, Minnesota, quickly located J&J Construc-tion’s missing equipment trailer (stolen from a work site) parked near the Wash-ington County Courthouse, where the thief apparently had left it while he answered a court summons. WCCO-TV reported that the man was soon jailed on a separate charge.
Recurring themesSy Allen, arrested in March in Colches-
ter, England, on suspicion of possessing drugs with intent to sell, relied on a fairly common strategy: As officers burst into the room, he swallowed the “evidence.” As in the other cases, police decided to wait for nature to take its course in order to recov-er the suspected drugs. Unlike in the other cases, Allen managed to hold out, with no bowel movement, for 23 days but not a 24th. He was arrested.
