Scotland indoors

Enjoy pipe bands and much more

Scotland lies about 3,050 miles to the slight northeast of New Hampshire, as the crow flies if crows fly across the Atlantic. A shorter trip is to the 21st Annual New Hampshire Indoor Scottish Festival on Saturday, April 20, at Salem High School, where you will feel as if you had made that trans-Atlantic journey.

The New England Scottish Arts Centre, the organization behind the event, was founded in 1984 and this is their festival where they showcase the cultural history of Scotland. Traditional Scottish dance, pipe and drum music, and representatives from various clans will fill the area with the sights and sounds of the Scottish Highlands, minus the sheep and caber-tossing, for this massive competition.

Scottish Arts also holds classes year-round on Highland dance, piping and fiddle, and even hosts a kilt-making workshop in the winter months as well as other events and festivals.

“It’s the largest indoor contest in North America,” said Lezlie Webster, founder and director of Scottish Arts. Webster is the head piping instructor as well as a Highland dance instructor.

“A lot of people from all over New England, including New Jersey and Pennsylvania, are coming up, and New York. It’s a huge competition … 14 pipe bands from New York all the way through to Maine. Highland dancers, same thing,” Webster said. More than 100 soloists for piping and drumming are competing as well.

The festival starts with dance.

“The dancing is in the morning only and that’s … on the main stage in the big theater…,” Webster said. “Solo piping and drumming are down the hall, around the corner, and they are starting at 8 a.m. … because there are so many of them and they go through till about 1.”

“In the middle of that,” Webster said, “the pipe bands start arriving around 10, 10:30, and they go upstairs to classrooms and they start warming up there and in hallways, and every nook and cranny, so the building is alive by noon hour just with so much stuff going on … and it’s free. Very free.” Brave participants will even get a chance to try the Highland Fling themselves.

As the dancing dwindles, the music heads to the forefront. “The pipe band competitions will take over the stage [at] about 1:30 and they’ll go till 4. The end is a little recital by a couple of our piping judges that are world famous, some of the top in the world.” These include Bruce Gandy, Derek Midgley and Andrew Douglas.

Claire MacPherson, president and coordinator of clans and societies for Scottish Arts, who is originally from Grantown-on-Spey in the Highlands of Scotland, expands on the activities of the day and advises participants to “start with the clans because … everything in the games will make sense if you go to the clans and particularly if you are looking to trace your Scottish heritage, your clan might not be there, but these people are so incredibly knowledgeable, they’ve been doing it for decades.”

Food trucks will be outside as Celtic clothing, artwork, jewelry and face painting will be available on top of learning about Scottish heritage from the various clans, clan associations and societies.

One such society is the Scots’ Charitable Society — “they were formed in 1657 by former Scots prisoners of war,” MacPherson said. Those prisoners are highlighted in John D. Demos’ workshop called “The Seventeenth Century Scottish Prisoners of War in New Hampshire and Maine.” Demos, former archivist for Old Berwick Historical Society in Maine, will go over in precise historical detail their odyssey of capture in 1650 by Oliver Cromwell during the English civil war.

Demos said, “Cromwell and the English decided they were going to try to get rid of the rest and send them away where they couldn’t cause anymore trouble and they ended up packing off 150 to New England who came into Boston…. Many of those ended up at the Saugus Iron Works.”

These historical roots established a Scottish heritage in the Granite State. “I discovered my culture,” MacPherson said, “I think, from the descendants of Highlanders who are here in New England, and that’s really amazing, I think, personally. It’s very touching, it’s very humbling.”

Rain or shine, The Scottish Highlands will be alive in Salem on Saturday, April 20.

“The weather can do what it likes,” MacPherson said, “but people can be comfortable in a nice seat in this building that was purpose-built for the sound and just enjoy a big pipe band. It’s a really lovely treat.

Total eclipse, or a part

Every now and then it comes around

By Zachary Lewis

zlewis@hippopress.com

Unless you have been living on the far side of the moon, you are aware that a total solar eclipse on April 8 will be visible across a slice of the country from Texas to Maine including New Hampshire.

The McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord is ready. Amanda Leith, an education coordinator at the Discovery Center, spoke about plans for the event.

“On the day of the eclipse we are going to be open from 12 to 5 p.m., prime time for eclipse viewing in the afternoon,” Leith said. “We’ll be doing some cyanotype sunprints, which is just light-reactive paper, UV-reactive paper using sunscreens … so people can make … designs and things like that and lay them out in the sun to see how those different SPFs protect the paper from the UV sensitivity.”

“We’re also making pinhole projectors,” Leith said. “We’re going to have some telescopes and other ways to view the solar eclipse on our lawn as well. We are waiting on a large-scale floor mat that shows the different layers of the sun and we have a floor puzzle of the moon … a 9-foot-wide puzzle so when you build the puzzle on top of the sun it will create what a solar eclipse would look like and you’ll see the corona around the outside with the Moon right in the middle, and an accessible version on the table as well for people that can’t get on the floor.”

The New Hampshire Astronomical Society will bring telescopes and help out with the festivities.

If the weather is less than favorable, the Discovery Center has a contingency plan. “All the activities will be the same, except for the sun prints — we need the sun for that, unfortunately,” Leith said. There will be “planetarium shows focused on the eclipse and ways that you can view it. It should still be a fun day regardless.”

The solar eclipse itself “will start at about 2:30 p.m. in the afternoon here in Concord,” Leith said. “That will be what we call first contact…. Then, the maximum for here in Concord will be about 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon. Fourth contact, or the end of the eclipse, will be at about 4:45 p.m. So it will be over the course of about 2 and a half hours and we’ll get to see varying levels of the moon covering the sun.”

The amount of eclipse you experience depends on where you are in the state.

“Everywhere in New Hampshire will at least experience 94 percent,” Leith said. There will be 96 percent totality at the Discovery Center. “It won’t go completely black. We’re not going to be able to see the stars in the middle of the day, unfortunately, but it should get darker as if we are heading into the evening hours.”

“North of Lancaster,” Leith said, “you are going to see totality. A total eclipse. No matter how you view an eclipse, whether it’s a partial solar eclipse or a total, they are all really special. This is the most coverage of the sun that we are going to get here in the state no matter where you are until 2079.”

What exactly is a solar eclipse? “A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun,” Leith said. “The physics and orbital mechanics of our solar system makes this a very unique event for us on Earth. But when it [the moon] is at its closest point to the Earth, that’s when it does cover the entire surface and we can see that total solar eclipse, so that’s why we are getting one in April.”

Kelly Thompson, a visitor experience coordinator at the Discovery Center, is watching solar eclipse glasses fly off the shelves. “We keep kind of continuously selling out,” Thompson said. “I should be shipping them out until March 31. I’ll stop orders at that point. Those can be purchased over the phone for $3.50 a pair.” Glasses not being shipped can be purchased at the Discovery Center for $2.50.

Do not look at the eclipse without the glasses! Their special film is crucial in keeping your eyes protected from the sun, Leith explained. “The lenses of our eyes are very similarly shaped to magnifying glasses. I am sure many people as kids took magnifying glasses outside and tried to light things on fire and burned ant hills … the same thing would happen to the back of your eyes. It would damage your eyes irreparably.” The glasses do have an expiration date of around three years. “If anybody has them from 2017, definitely throw them away.”

NASA will be closely monitoring the event, Leith noted, because “the sun’s energy impacts our atmosphere in really unique ways, so they are actually sending up weather balloons all across the country.” NASA’s Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project includes a balloon in Pittsburg, New Hampshire, that will be sent up by teams from Plymouth State University.

The University of New Hampshire’s Space Weather Underground (SWUG) will be “deploying magnetometers to understand our atmosphere as well during the eclipse,” Leith said. “There are quite a few things happening here in our state.”

The solar eclipse is “a fun opportunity to connect with people,” Thompson said. “Gosh, we hope the weather is going to be great.”

Finding the right mix of movies

How the New Hampshire Jewish Film Festival picks its slate

By Zachary Lewis

zlewis@hippopress.com

As co-chairs of the New Hampshire Jewish Film Festival, Patricia Kalik and Ross Fishbein did a lot of movie-watching to put together this year’s event.

“We watched 60 movies this year to pick the 13 that we are showing during the festival,” Kalik said.

The 16th annual New Hampshire Jewish Film Festival begins Thursday, April 4, and runs through Sunday, April 14, with a bonus virtual week beginning that same Sunday, April 14, and ends Sunday, April 21.

Kalik has chaired 12 of the festival’s 16 years and makes sure to watch every minute of every film during this multi-month project.

“That’s a lot of hours of screen time, that’s for sure,” Kalik said. “And I have a rule: Once I start a movie I finish it … even If I don’t think it’s a great movie, because I know someone spent a lot of hours to create this piece of art…. I want to give everyone their fair share of time.”

The entire enterprise echoes that sentiment.

It’s “a labor of love and a community effort,” Fishbein said. He has been co-chair for the last four years. “Luckily, we have a lot of volunteers that are tremendously helpful in making sure that the event is put on and successful.”

Fishbein noted that selecting films “is a challenge.”

“We have about 20 people on the various screening committees. That’s about 20 different opinions that have to be juggled,” Fishbein said. “Our mission is to find a diverse selection of films. We try to make sure that we have comedies, we have dramas, we have English language films, we have foreign films that are subtitled, we have Israeli films, we have films about Jewish life generally. … It’s balancing that with the quality of the film and whether we think it would appeal to our audience.”

Once all the movies are watched, deliberation begins.

“At the end of the whole screening process we do have one final meeting where we vote,” Kalik said. “We take the votes on everything and we rank the films and we see if the top 12 have a balance, and if not we go down a level to get a balance. Because let’s say this year four of our top films were [about the] Holocaust. We choose not to show half of our shows being Holocaust-related.”

Kalik noted, “This year in particular we have [films from] a lot of different countries. We have a French film, one from Belgium, Hungary, several from Israel, a few U.S.A. films, but a nice smattering of films.”

In-person discussions and virtual screenings are part of the festival.

Call Me Dancer is a film about the journey of Manish Chauhan, a young street dancer from India who becomes a ballet dancer in New York. Chauhan will be attendance at the screening on Thursday, April 11, at 7 p.m. at Red River Theatres in Concord.

“His dance instructor was an Israeli dance instructor,” Kalik said. “They did spend some time in Israel. We’re really honored that he is going to be at our screening…. And then he is going to spend some time with the dance students at St. Paul’s Ballet Company. I think that’s exciting.”

There are even sometimes free concessions.

“In some of the venues we actually … give people popcorn as they enter the movie,” Kalik said, noting that the festival is “a way to bring the community together.”

“If it’s a controversial topic, [or] even if it’s not, after the film people mill around in the lobby of the theater and talk about the film, and it builds community. I think especially in today’s day and age that’s important,” Kalik said.

Fishbein was in agreement.

“It is one of those rare events that is truly community-focused,” Fishbein said. “It’s really a great way to be part of the Jewish community and be part of the larger New Hampshire community, without having a religious connotation to it.”
