DURHAM – Two organizations with a

mission and history of helping veterans, service members and their families are joining forces

By Ethan BukowiecStaff WriterPORTLAND, Maine -

As a child, Mario Lande-ros’ family was poor and when it came time for the holidays, they were the ones who benefitted from food drives, programs like Toys for Tots and the charity of others.

“It always stuck with me that there were strangers out there who were willing to help,” said Landeros. “At some point, I decided it was my turn to give back.”

The 40-year-old Los Ange-les native gave back in a huge way, raising over $13,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital by enduring a year-and-a-half long trek across the country that start-

PORTSMOUTH –Take part in a sweet tradi-

tion in a new downtown loca-tion: The Gingerbread House Contest debuts at Discover Ports-mouth. Homemade gingerbread creations will be on display daily for the public throughout De-cember at Discover Portsmouth as part of Vintage Christmas.

The annual event, for-merly held at Strawbery Banke Museum, is moving to Discover Portsmouth.

“With our new and im-proved Visitor center and cafe, we had to find a new place for the gingerbread houses. We wanted this tradition to continue in Portsmouth and Discover Ports-mouth is a great venue,” states Lawrence J. Yerdon, President and CEO of Strawbery Banke Museum.

This December marks the contest’s 23rd year and will be seen by thousands.

PORTSMOUTH –It’s time for the Portsmouth

Police Department’s Annual Ben-efit Turkey Bowl.

Last year, several seacoast area police departments, fire de-partments and military joined forces to host and play in a flag football tournament to benefit the victims and families affected by Hurricane Sandy. The event was a great success, raising money and goods for those in need.

This year, the event is being hosted by the Portsmouth Police Patrolmen’s Union on Nov. 27 at Portsmouth High School at 5:30 p.m., and they are looking closer to home to benefit a local family. They are seeking nominations from the community of a deserv-ing family being directly impacted

Portsmouth Police Patrol-men’s Union is also asking any in-terested local businesses for their assistance with or sponsorship of this endeavor by donating time, services, funds or goods.

Letters of nomination should be submitted to Detective Adam Kozlowski at the Ports-mouth Police Department, 3 Junkins Ave., Portsmouth NH 03801 or by email to [email protected].

The Portsmouth Veterans Memorial Park opened on Nov. 11.

PORTSMOUTH – New Hampshire Theatre

Project’s 25th Anniversary Season opens with “Six Characters in Search of an Author,” written by Luigi Pirandello.

With its startling originality, “Six Characters” is now consid-ered one of the most influential plays in the history of world litera-ture, although it incited audience rioting at its 1921 debut in Rome.

In what begins as a realis-tic play, six figures arrive who make the extraordinary claim that they are the incomplete, but independent, products of an au-thor’s imagination - “characters” the author abandoned when he couldn’t complete their story. These “characters” have come in search of someone who will give them the fullness of literary life. Furthermore, these “characters” outrageously claim that they are more “real” than the actors who eventually want to portray them.

Pirandello showed how il-lusion mixes with reality and

PORTSMOUTH –The moment Music Hall

patrons have been waiting for has arrived – the unveiling of the crystal chandelier in the dome of the Historic Theater auditorium. It all happens at the Crystal Ball, an annual fundraiser, Saturday Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at The Music Hall in downtown Portsmouth.

Gail VanHoy Carolan, Director of Institutional Ad-vancement explains, “After gen-erously donating the lighting for the upper lobby restoration last year, the Lighting Center at Rockingham Electric was fur-ther inspired to donate the chan-delier for the historic theater. The beautiful crystal chandelier, made in the USA by the vener-ated maker Framburg Lighting, will be unveiled at our Crystal Ball along with matching crystal sconces. Funds for the sconces and the hanging of the chande-lier were made through dona-tions at our fundraiser last year. This moment has been a long time coming, since the theater has been without a chandelier

exactly how men think? Will women ever truly understand male thoughts? Is it possible for women to think from a male point of view? Be careful what you wish for as the all-male comedy show “How Men Think (or Do They?)” is a hilarious peek inside the male mind. The comedy tour returns to Portsmouth at the Portsmouth Gas Light Co. on Friday, Nov. 22.

The show, which debuted in 2009, features a revolving lineup of male standup comedians who share different ,but very male, ob-servations on the world around them.

PORTSMOUTH – The Music Hall in down-

town Portsmouth welcomes Latin-tinged country-rock outfit The Mavericks to The Historic Theater on Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2013. After a 10-year touring hiatus, the Grammy Award-winning group is visiting Ports-mouth in support of their newest album, “In Time.”

Genre-busting powerhouse group The Mavericks emerged from Miami in 1989 to great critical and commercial appeal. Since its members quietly parted ways in 2003, fans have been eagerly awaiting a possible re-union; now, with the release of their new album, “In Time,” and the current tour, that wish is a reality.

Cuban-American lead singer Raul Malo, who is gifted with a voice that we haven’t heard the likes of since Roy Or-bison, spearheads a group that is equal parts country, garage rock and Latin in nature. Reaching new heights with a sound that smacks the head and tears the heart, New Orleans Jazz Festi-val favorites, The Mavericks, are bringing their dynamic set to the Seacoast.

Tickets are on sale now at $48 for nonmembers and $38 for members. Tickets can be pur-chased at The Music Hall box office in the Historic Theater, 28 Chestnut Street, Portsmouth, over the phone at 603-436-2400, or on our website www.themusi-chall.org.

said Landeros. “I want to thank the people who welcomed me into their home and allowed me to share a meal with them.”

Throughout his adventure, Landeros found himself spending nights in many small towns. One of those small towns was Hamp-ton, N.H.,. It was the small towns that made the biggest impression on Landeros.

“I have seen a lot of cities, but it is great to see the smaller towns and how the communities come together.”

During his year-and-a-half long trip, Landeros would walk close to 35 miles a day and spent most of his time in solitude, but that didn’t seem to bother him.

“Some people ask me if I get lonely, and a lot of the time I say no,” said Landeros. “Walking is

almost like a meditation in a way. My thoughts are my own enter-tainment.”

Landeros returned home to Los Angeles on Nov. 2, and will now have to resume the life that he put on hold for a year-and-a-half. He will have to find a new job. He will have to find a place to live. But he will not have to come up with a new plan to raise money for children in need.

His experience walking across the country has inspired him to write a book about his trav-els. He will donate proceeds from the sales to schools and charities nationwide.

For a man who has been on the move for quite some time, taking it easy is not an option.

“This experience has made me want to do a whole lot more.”

Whether moving across town or across

the country, relocating can be difficult and expen-

sive; often riddled with unex-pected costs.

“Moving is a high-stress, high-cost experience for most people, but you can curb ex-penses,” said Mike Sullivan,

Hiring a mover can be risky. There are many consumer com-plaints in this industry. If you need professional help, research three movers with the Better Business Bureau each carrying an A rating. Get estimates and compare.

Sell or DonateThe more you move, the

more you will have to pay, espe-cially if you’re hiring a profes-sional or renting a truck. Take a hard look at your stuff and decide if it really needs to be moved, or if you can sell or donate it. Consider hosting a garage sale or using sites like Craigslist.org to sell items.

Examine Your AppliancesIf you’re taking major appli-

ances, account for professional ser-vicing or installation costs. It may not be worth the cost of moving old appliances needing frequent repairs.

Eat UpLeading up to your move,

chief education officer for Take Charge America, a national non-profit credit counseling agency. “A little planning will go a long way to keep costs down and reduce fi-nancial stress.”

Sullivan explains further with nine tips to save money on moving expenses.

Decide on Movers

eat foods in your pantry, refrigera-tor and freezer. Restock after the move.

Don’t Buy BoxesCheck grocery, warehouse

stores or recycling facilities for boxes, or ask friends and family for spares.

Consider a PodIf you’re moving far, a pod

may prove cheaper than a moving van or professional moving com-pany, especially when considering the cost of gas.

Select “Off” DaysSaturday is the most popular

day to move. It’s also the most ex-pensive. Prices for truck rentals or professional movers are higher on weekends. Consider moving mid-week to avoid the premium cost.

Manage Utilities & ServicesContact your phone, cable

and utility providers well ahead of your move to set a discontinu-

ation date. This will ensure you’re not paying for services after you move. You may also need to cancel or transfer other subscriptions, such as gym memberships, pool maintenance and periodicals.

Get Insurance in OrderMake sure your auto and

home or rental insurers are aware of your move so they can adjust your premiums or transfer coverage.

ated coffees. A less formal gather-ing gives hosts more leeway. For example, whereas a formal gath-ering may include soup as an ap-petizer, hosting a less formal gath-ering allows hosts to put out some snacks or bread for guests to whet their appetites before everyone sits down for the meal. The more formal the gathering, the more formal the menu. Hosts of less formal gatherings may even want to host a holiday pot luck buffet, inviting guests to bring a favorite dish or side dish while the hosts take care of the main course.

Ask guests if they have any dietary restrictions

Upon being invited to a holi-day dinner, some invitees may let hosts know if they have any food allergies or medical conditions that restrict which foods they can

eat. Solicit such information from all of your guests, and do your best to cater to each of your guests’ needs. Some guests might be on a gluten-free diet while others may need to limit their sodium intake. You might not be able to meet everyone’s demands. Let guests know if they should bring an ap-propriate snack if you cannot pro-vide one for them.

Include traditional holiday farePeople have grown to expect

certain things from holiday meals, be it sweet potatoes on Thanks-giving, brisket for Chanukah or holiday cookies or even eggnog at Christmas parties. When plan-ning the menu, be sure to include at least one of these traditional items, even asking guests for sug-gestions. Such fare will give the party a genuine holiday feel, and guests will appreciate seeing some items on your dinner table they have enjoyed at their own holiday

celebrations over the years.

Don’t overdo itFirst-time hosts want to

ensure everyone gets enough to eat, so it’s easy to overdo things and prepare too much food. This can be expensive, and guests may feel obligated to overeat so hosts don’t have to discard any of the food they worked so hard to prepare. Though it might once have been a holiday tradition to overeat, many men and women now prefer moderation, and hosts should keep that in mind when preparing their holiday meals.

There are a variety of steps first-timers can take when pre-paring their menus to come off looking like old pros.

rule out turkey, as even a small turkey will prove too much effort and produce too much extra food. On the same note, a small dish like lasagna might not be doable for a larger crowd, as it will force you to prepare multiple entrees, which means more time in the kitchen juggling the various cook-ing duties and less time with your guests. Once you have confirmed just how many guests you will be hosting, you can then choose a main course that suits the size of your guest list.

Decide which type of party you want to host

The type of party you want to host also will influence what you serve. A formal gathering should include an appetizer, a main course and a dessert, includ-ing both caffeinated and decaffein-

Novice holiday hosts often have a lot on their plates. Wheth-er hosting family or friends or a combination of both, first-time hosts typically want to impress their guests while ensuring they get enough to eat and have an enjoyable evening. Since dinner is such a big part of holiday gath-erings, hosts often place extra emphasis on what to serve, and that can be tricky when this is the first time they are hosting.

When planning the menu for your holiday soiree, consider the following tips.

Get a head countThough other factors will

influence what to serve, the size of your guest list may ul-timately dictate what to serve. For example, a small gathering of four to five people will likely

PORTSMOUTH - On Nov. 18, Stage Force

will get up close and personal with the nation’s most enduringly controversial topic as it continues its ““Play Reading Series” with David Mamet’s “Race”.

Part comedy and part mys-tery, the play chronicles the story of two lawyers, one white, the other black, who find themselves defending a wealthy white ex-ecutive accused of raping an Af-rican-American woman. When a beautiful new black female assis-tant gets involved in the case, all

assumptions are turned on their heads, and resentments simmer-ing beneath the cynical surface erupt.

It’s a daring topic made even more challenging by Mamet, rightfully considered one of America’s most consistent-ly daring playwrights. Mamet forces us to look at our own at-titudes and assumptions about color.

“Race” features Brian Chamberlain, Edgar Davis, and Peter Josephson, and introduces Dominique Salvacion.

The reading will be held at The Music Hall Loft at 131 Con-gress Street in Portsmouth, where the $12 ticket price includes a complimentary beverage.

“Race” is sponsored by Lyn E. Rosoff. The “Play Reading Series” is sponsored by Jumpin’ Jay’s Fish Cafe. All Play Reading performances start at 7:30 p.m.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased

in advance at 28 Chestnut Street, Portsmouth, at TheMusicHall.org, or by calling 603-436-2400.For more information about the series, visit STAGEFORCE.org.

PORTSMOUTH -Bill Buckley watched with

excitement recently as droves of students filed into Gateway Taiji, Qigong & Yoga for the Ports-mouth studio’s one-year anniver-sary. He watched as his vision – a business born from passion of an increasingly conscious communi-ty energy – filled the Button Fac-tory’s old furnace room.

Now, Buckley is setting his sites on a compact power of a dif-ferent kind – a 72-panel, 18-kilo-watt solar system astride the stu-dio’s top hat roof.

For Buckley, the new array – expected to cover a whop-ping 95 percent of the building’s energy use – will mark the end of a process more than a year in the making, and another turned page in a truly unique personal journey.

“The plan has been to install a solar system from the beginning, so to have it this close to happen-ing, is pretty exciting,” said Buck-ley, who practices and taught mar-tial arts for over 20 years before opening Gateway last October. “It’s been quite a learning curve over the last year, both with the business and with the process of getting the business to run on solar.”

After a back-and-forth pro-cess involving a number of region-al solar providers, Buckley com-missioned Jack Bingham, owner of Seacoast Energy Alternatives (SEA) Solar Store in Barrington, to carry out the project. Bingham said the building presented both

logistical challenges and – given the building’s century-plus old pedigree – narrative impact.

“Historically, the building tells a really great story,” Bingham said. “Because it used to be a re-fractory, the roof was made using really sturdy ceramic tile. That means there’s not much to fasten the solar panel rackings – you just can’t drill through it.”

The only other option was to support the panels using raised ballasts, which at nearly 250 pounds a pop meant a significant increase in weight. Luckily, thanks to another, smaller scale efficiency measure undertaken early this year – replacing tons of stone and tar with a light foam-rubber ma-terial – there was enough weight wiggle room to allow for the req-uisite solar ballasts.

“I want to build a communi-ty of people who care about each other, who care about the fact that we’re being conscious about how the building is used,” Buckley said.

flying today received their train-ing from the US Army during the Vietnam conflict. These pilots are all approaching mandatory retirement age and will create a shortage of qualified helicopter pilots in the next several years. This creates an opportunity for young men and women to start a rewarding career in an exciting field where the sky is your office. For a small fraction of the cost of a college education, and hard work, a student can train and qualify for a Professional Pilot’s Certification which allows them to fly helicopters for a living in less than a year.

Pilot training is not only for the young, many students are in fact older people that have always wanted to learn to fly and have reached a point in their life where they want to make it a reality. Seacoast Helicopters provide a comfortable, safe and effective learning environment for their students while adhering to safe practice and to applicable federal and state aviation regula-tions. Seacoast Helicopters trains students in the Robinson R22 helicopter which is an excellent aircraft for flight training due to its reliability, safety and ease of maintenance.

In this beautiful area they also invite tourists to take in the natural beauty of the seacoast, beaches, harbors, lighthouses

and historical points of interest from an observation point 1000 feet above the ground. A new visitor to the area can take in the entire area in a 45-minute flight and make note of those points of interest that they want to go back and visit from the ground. In an air conditioned helicopter, each passenger is equipped with a headset and microphone that allows them to communicate with each other and the pilot, to hear Air Traffic Control com-munications and to hear music when there is no voice activity. As they fly over points of inter-est, the pilot provides commen-tary and “fun facts” to enhance the experience. Scenic flights are available in 15, 30 and 45 minute durations.

Seacoast Helicopters also offers air taxi transportation to business meetings, conferences, Boston Logan and other area airports. Their service offers convenience, comfort, user-determined schedule and door-to-door service. Seacoast Heli-copters also offers professional services to include real estate/surveys, engineering activities, aerial photography and aerial in-spections.

Seacoast Helicopters is lo-cated at 44 Durham Street in Portsmouth. For more informa-tion, visit www.seacoasthelos.com or call 1-800-SC-HELOS.

From the studio’s three namesakes (Taiji, Qigong and Yoga) to intensive energy work, the disciplines Buckley has culti-vated at Gateway boast roots mil-lennia in the making.

Dear Computer Lady,My desktop is a two-year-

old HP. I had been leaving it on and just moving the mouse to wake it up.

The past two or three months, it won’t wake up. I have to do a “hard” shutdown and restart. I know this is not a good thing to do because it can damage the hard drive.

I now shut it down and re-start it every time I use it which is a rather slow process!

Could it possibly be the monitor? What do I need to do?

Love, love, love, your help-ful news letter. Suzanne

Dear Suzanne,I’ll give you the easy

answer first. No, it is not your monitor.

It sounds like the power settings are giving you some trouble. This is one of the most common issues I have seen with Windows. It could have been caused by going for long stretches of time without shut-ting down the computer, or it could just be something is cor-rupt.

I always suggest that you shut down your computer at the end of each day, and start it up fresh in the morning. Only use the sleep feature during the day.

Now that your computer

won’t wake up, you will either need to fix the problem, turn off the automatic sleep settings, or continue to shut it down after each use.

You can adjust the sleep settings in the Control Panel. Open the “Hardware and Sound” and then, “Power Op-tions” sections. Sometimes changing the settings will fix the problem, or just change all the settings to, “Never” to keep your computer on.

If you are still having prob-lems, bring your computer into my shop (or a local shop if you don’t live nearby) and I can help you solve the problem. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,I am debating about

buying a new laptop with Win-dows 8. From your posts you seem to really like this OS. Do you think windows will keep this format or with so many complaints go back to some-thing like the XP or Windows 7 format?

And do you give lessons/tutorial for Windows 8 and what would the cost be?

Thanks, Cindy

Dear Cindy,I neither love nor hate the

newest version of Windows. I have just decided to accept it as it is. There are some things that

I wish it had (like a start menu) but for the most part, it runs smoothly, and does what I want it to do.

I think that Microsoft will not go back to an older format, only because they have never done so in the past. However, there are some things that you can do to make Windows 8 look more like older versions of Windows.

Instead of writing tutorials for Windows 8, it seems to work better answering questions as people send them in. When you get your new laptop and have a question, please send it in. There are always other people wondering the same thing who have just not asked yet.

I do sit down and answer questions in person for an hourly rate, give me a call if you live in the area and are interest-ed. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,Your newsletter is the

best, and now I have a problem. I have lost my volume icon in Windows 7.

I had recently changed it to show at all times on the task-bar, but now it is gone, and is not with the hidden icons.

Please help. Is there any other way to turn the volume up and down?

Thanks, Lesa

Dear Lesa,It sounds like your volume

icon was turned off. Here is how to have it displayed again.

1. Click on, “Start” then click on “Control Panel” 2. In the Control Panel, click on “Ap-pearance and Personalization”. 3. Click on, “Taskbar and Start Menu”. The “Taskbar and Start Menu Properties” dialog box will open. 4. Find the section la-beled, “Notification Area” and click the “Customize” button. 5. At the bottom of the next window, you will see a text link that says, “Turn System Icons On or Off” Click on that link. 6. Find the “Volume” icon and use the drop down list to turn it back on. 7. Now, click the “OK” button in each window to save

your changes and close the win-dows. Elizabeth
