The Best of Autumn

p hoto by ian r aymond

As clear, sunny days and cool, crisp nights move into the area, we look forward to our favorite autumn activities. Many of us will enjoy hiking, biking, and rounding up the family for an old-fashioned Sunday drive (page 34). We’re surrounded by the most gorgeous fall views on display anywhere in the world, so take advantage of our good fortune and let nature’s beauty take your breath away.

If you do go hiking, plan to explore some of Hanover Conservancy’s lands (page 46).

The organization is celebrating 60 years of saving special areas for future generations, so show your appreciation by attending their event on Saturday, October 2 at their 71 Lyme Road location. It takes many dedicated staff members and volunteers to accomplish this good work, so you may want to consider joining them in their efforts.

We’re also highlighting local architect Frank “Jay” Barrett’s new book Lost Hanover, New Hampshire in this issue (page 56). He outlines how the face of Hanover has changed as architectural styles have evolved and over the years.

A beautiful new building can be viewed 50 years later as an eyesore and be torn down, gone forever except as seen in historic photographs. Check it out!

In this issue, we’re also stopping by Dunk’s Sports Grill to catch the latest game and cheer for our favorite team (page 38). Have you remained loyal to the Patriots or have you switched to the Tampa Bay Bucs since TB 12 made the move? Either way, you’ll enjoy the action more with an order of wings or cheese dip and a bucket of beer. May the best team win!

Fall won’t last long, so make the most of it. Get outdoors, appreciate the season’s spectacular beauty, and be glad you live here. Stay up to date with local news and events at www.hereinhanover.com. Enjoy!

New Owners of Norwich Bookstore

T

he torch has been passed at the Norwich Bookstore. Founded in 1994 by Liza Bernard and Penny McConnel, this legacy store has been officially under the new ownership of Sam Kaas and Emma Nichols since June 1 of this year.

“We have planned for a bookshop of our own for a long time. We have looked at many and this is a special one,” says Sam. “We are so excited. For me, the main thing is the community here. Any bookstore is more than retail. It is augmented by the people who shop and work there, by the nonprofits and other local busi-

nesses. Norwich has a strong spirit of cooperation.”

Sam and Emma have 17 combined years of experience in the book business. They even met at a bookselling convention when a mutual friend introduced them. Their love of the trade is enduring and has driven their careers. “I started selling books when I was 19 and in college,” Sam says. “I applied for a job at a local bookstore in Bellingham, Washington. I thought it was a good thing as an English major to work in the industry.”

Emma’s bookstore connection started with her friendship with a woman in Long Island, New York, who owned WORD Bookstores.

When Emma graduated from college, her friend invited her to help open a newly founded bookstore in Jersey City, New Jersey. Like Sam, this first job in the book world set her on a longtime track. She moved to Washington state, working for Elliot Bay Book Company in Seattle as a manager and buyer. Sam worked for Third Place Books as the events organizer.

“The next step was a bookstore of our own,” Sam says. “I loved the idea of New England. We found the Norwich Bookstore was for sale and decided it was the right fit.

“The first thing we tell people is that we are stewards of this store,” Sam says. “It is an incredible store and the people at the helm need to sustain that and keep up the work Liza and Penny did over the years.”

Sam and Emma will continue the tradition of author events and welcoming a diverse customer group ranging from locals and tourists to parents with young children and Dartmouth students. “We will continue the curated book selection of very broad, high-quality, hand-selected titles,” Sam says. “We can also find you strange, out-ofprint titles.” New initiatives include expanding community programming and increasing book fairs at schools.

“The Upper Valley is a great little literary pocket,” Sam says. “It’s an exciting decade to be working in books. We’re grateful for the welcome we’ve received from the community. It’s exciting to be this community’s bookseller.”

COMMUNITY FUNDRAISER

CHaD HERO EVENTS

A

insley, a lively five-year-old who loves to ride her bike, dance, camp, and have fun outdoors, is the 2021 Kid Hero of CHaD HERO, the largest annual fundraiser for Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock (CHaD). She became a CHaD patient soon after her birth when doctors found a congenital heart condition that required open heart surgery. The CHaD HERO, a weeklong event, raises money to support the care of children like Ainsley.

The goal of the 16th annual event is $530,000.

“Due to the pandemic, the 2020 CHaD HERO took place virtually, while the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s other community fundraising events were cancelled. This resulted in a loss of over a million dollars in fundraising revenue,” says Brittany Brown, Event & Project Coordinator, CHaD Community Relations. “At the same time, the need for CHaD’s services, from pediatric COVID-19 care to family support and programming for victims of abuse, has increased. The CHaD Community Relations team is incredibly grateful that we are able to offer a hybrid CHaD HERO event for 2021, where participants can take part virtually from September 19 to 26 or in an in-person 5k run on September 26 in Hanover (contingent on restrictions).”

Participants can harness their imaginations and utilize their strengths in choosing how to take part in the virtual elements of the event beginning September 19 and concluding September 26. People can hike, bike, and walk. They can hike the Appalachian Trail, race across New Hampshire, or engage in a virtual read-a-thon. The usual selection of prepandemic events, including the 5k run, the 25- and 50-mile bike rides, and many more, can be transformed by participants into virtual activities to raise money. The CHaD HERO website provides course maps for each event. The Virtual Quest invites participants to complete a unique activity anywhere in the world.

The in-person part of the event features the 5k run, beginning on the Dartmouth Green in Hanover. Registration fees are $15 for youth (17 and under) and $30 for adults (18 and older).

Virtual fees are $10 for youth and $20 for adults. The HERO committee is waiving fundraising minimums again this year but encourages participants in their important fundraising efforts.

“It will be heartwarming to once again see our community members from the Upper Valley gather in support of the 95,000 kids who receive care at CHaD, our local children’s hospital, each year,” says Brittany. For more information about CHaD HERO and the children’s hospital, visit chadhero.org. H

LEBANON CO-OP COOKING CLASSES RESUME

Co-op Food Education Specialist Lindsay Smith offers in-person, online, and private classes.

H

ow to make baked goat cheese salad, ferment vegetables, or learn basic knife skills—if these descriptions make you itch to get into the kitchen, the Lebanon Co-op’s Learning Center is the place to be. During a long period of closure because of COVID-19 and extensive renovations in the store, cooking classes went virtual. The classroom reopened on September 1 for in-person instruction, when Food Education Specialist Lindsay Smith taught participants to make famed chef Alice Waters’ mouth-watering baked goat cheese salad. “I am really excited to bring people back,” Lindsay says. “We will ease into it and keep people safe.”

Virtual classes will continue to run because of their success. “They work for people from across the country, people who prefer to cook in their own kitchen, and people who don’t travel at night,” Lindsay says. “Some classes are better in person and some virtually.”

F I N D H E R E I N H A N O V E R AT W W W. H E R E I N H A N O V E R .CO M

Since 2014, the Co-op Teaching Kitchen has welcomed a full spectrum of participants.

From kids' camps to lifelong learning, every class features collaboration and fun as prime ingredients. The co-op’s monthly cooking classes range from grand cuisine to new takes on old favorites.

For cultural exploration, join the November 4 virtual class to explore foods of India’s Diwali festival.

November’s schedule also includes delicious ways to stretc h a food budget, suc h as the in-person ses sion on basic and un expected recipes (like the one for artichok es and peas), this time for sweet potatoes.

Lindsay is looking at healthsafety protocols set by national classes such as those offered by King Arthur Baking Company and Sur La Table. The Lebanon Co-op classes will have a limited capacity with people having individual workstations. Nonfamily members will not be sharing food.

If there are waiting lists, she will add more classes. “We are sensitive to and responsible for our customers,” she says. “The classes are a lot of fun and people need the social interaction.”

Lindsay is a self-taught chef.

“I really started to pay attention to food in grad school when I worked with farmers,” she says.

She ran a farmers’ market in North Carolina and then the Lebanon, New Hampshire, market. A key motivator for her early cooking exploration was being inundated by a CSA’s fresh ingredients and having to figure out what to do with them. Her teaching experience is broad. “I am an experiential educator,” she says. “I have taught in all sorts of unconventional classrooms.”

The fall cooking class brochure is available in the store. The list of

A RO U N D & A B O U T class offerings is also on Facebook and coopfoodstore.com. In addition to the public offerings, Lindsay will also design cooking classes for private parties. (Send inquiries to classes@coopfoodstore.com.)

The renovations to the Lebanon Co-op are extensive, designed to upgrade the store’s infrastructure.

“We are doing a storewide upgrade of refrigerated cases, moving to a more environmentally friendly refrigerant, upgrading our HVAC system, and installing LED lighting throughout the store,” says Lori Hildbrand, director of administrative operations. “It was time to undertake this project as much of our equipment was reaching end-oflife status. We are undertaking this project so the Lebanon store will be more energy efficient.”

The renovations will benefit staff and customers in many ways.

“The store will have a new look and feel, much of which will be due to behind-the-scenes changes that we will be making,” says Lori. “For example, the lighting will be controlled with dimmers that are tied in to sensors, which will provide a seamless lighting level within the store. The goal is to create an improved shopping experience for our customers and a pleasant working environment for our employees.”

The project has a mid-November completion date, based on timely delivery of equipment and supplies.

The Lebanon Co-op is one of the four stores of the Hanover Co-op, an 85-year-old consumer cooperative that also operates two auto service centers and a production kitchen. The business has 24,000 member-owners and is open to all for shopping and service. H

New Offering

The Hinckley House Available for only the second time in the last 70 years, The Hinckley House is a brilliant example of the classic Federal Style of architecture that this region has become known for. Sited on the Ridge, in Orford, NH, The Hinckley House is one of 7 stately homes built between 1793 and 1840, all set back from the main road on a ridge overlooking the Orford mall, on land originally owned by Samuel Morey. The house has spaces both formal and informal, with 5 + bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, gracious living and dining rooms, original moldings and high ceilings. The stunning spiral staircase that graces the front entry harkens to a time of elegance and a slower pace of life. And for informal gatherings, step into the “Dance Hall”, a former tack room that the current owners have restored to its original glory as a gathering place for laughter, song, and story. But the most significant feature of the home is found in the two front bedrooms on the second floor: On all four walls, of each bedroom, are floor to ceiling murals painted by American folk artist Rufus Porter in the early 19th century. There are only 150 such murals known to exist in the United States, and these are the only ones that comprise all four walls of a room. Dartmouth College alums will appreciate the massive lone pine tree out front, and Daniel Webster stayed here for a time and wrote several pieces of correspondence to friends and family describing his experience in Orford.

This home truly represents an opportunity to own a piece of history in one of the region’s most significant architectural developments.

Since the first automobiles ventured out onto back roads and byways, families and friends have piled into their vehicles for the fun and excitement of going for a leisurely Sunday drive. There are many interesting sights to see within an hour of Hanover, so pick a day to go exploring.

Perhaps your family will opt for a drive to Newbury, New Hampshire, to take in the beauty of The Fells and the area around Lake Sunapee.

Or you might decide to venture to Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park in Cornish. How about a jaunt to beautiful Windsor, Vermont?

No matter which route you choose, besides brilliant leaves, you’ll be wowed by rivers, streams, and covered bridges. Make some memories this autumn! H 36

DUNK'S

SPORTS GRILL Fresh-from-scratch American food

P

ractice is over and the kids are hungry. You’re searching for a place in Hanover to get burgers, dogs, grilled cheese, or chicken fingers for the kids, and maybe soft pretzels with cheese and beer dip and a mojo steak taco or a shrimp po’ boy for Mom and Dad. Or maybe it’s your turn to host happy hour, and you want to impress the boss with homemade appetizers and hand-crafted cocktails. Do you need a place to watch the big game on high-definition screens with all of your friends?

Or maybe you’re just hoping to find some American takeout. Well, Dunk’s Sports Grill has you covered.

Tony Barnett, owner of Molly’s, Jesse’s, and Snax (which opened in 2020), wasn’t looking to open another new restaurant during a pandemic. However, when a reasonably priced space with outdoor seating for 40 people opened up in downtown Hanover behind Talbots, he and his wife Erin, who played basketball in college, realized what was missing in this college town.

They noted that the high school and college both have successful sports teams, and the restaurant space was convenient for sports fans of all ages to gather to watch a game and have some good food. Also, their 10-year-old son Duncan (nicknamed “Dunk”) is a “sports fanatic,” so they decided to take a chance on their idea.

Fresh Food Only “We wanted the food to carry the concept—not just the bar,” says Tony, who is proud of the highquality, fresh-from-scratch menu.

“We don’t even have a walk-in freezer. The meat is never frozen.

Even the French fries are made from fresh potatoes.”

The bar has an ever-changing 42

beer list and serves wine and cocktails. As with the food, the handcrafted cocktails have fresh ingredients, including fruit and chopped mint.

Favorites on the mostly American food menu include the Griddle Burgers—single, double, or allAmerican with bacon. Tony says customers are also “hooked by the saucy goodness that comes with the Cajun chicken sandwich.” The menu includes fresh soups and salads, such as shrimp and avocado gazpacho, crispy chicken salad,

and appetizers, such as the popular honey-glazed hot wings and fresh humus with vegetables and pita bread. Some items are seasonal, such as the Maine lobster roll. The idea was to create a menu that was healthier and better-tasting than a typical sports bar, so families and athletes would be interested in gathering there.

Tony and Alex LaCroix, the general manager, agree that they have been lucky when it comes to finding wonderful kitchen and waitstaff. “Many of them are sports

Gather and Have Fun Before the grand opening, Tony renovated the space to include better acoustic insulation, a larger bar, and new restrooms. The décor is comfortable and easy, with wood floors and walls.

Dunk’s opened in May of 2021, and the restaurant, according to Tony, was “much busier than we anticipated, right out of the gate.” Alex was pleased to find the college students to be very polite for a bar crowd. “After about eight o’clock, we turn up the

music for them,” he says. “We have even pushed back the tables at the customers’ requests and had dance parties—it’s a great time.”

The students asked to purchase Dunk’s employee T-shirts, and then a couple of them wore the shirts to impersonate waitstaff, taking orders and enjoying playing a good-hearted joke on the manager. After all the interest in shirts, Tony decided to team up with the Dartmouth “Jack-O” satirical writing club, and they will be selling T-shirts this fall to benefit the Prouty.

When a special sports event is coming up, customers request specific TV channels. This past spring, Dunk’s hosted an event with “a great community feel” for the Manchester United versus Chelsea game. “We opened an hour early for it,” Alex says. Dunk’s plans to have similar events for football and soccer games, NBA and NHL playoffs, and for New England team games in general. They sometimes have customers excited to see a friend playing in a specific televised sport, and they change the channel of one of the multiple screens in the restaurant to accommodate. “We are here to cater to our customers,” says Alex.

The first time Dunk’s opened early for a large party, it was to feed a much more sedate, if still celebratory, crowd of Hanover teachers who needed a place nearby to gather outside and eat between the school day’s end and the evening’s high school graduation.

Dunk’s also rents out half or all of the indoor space on select occasions. It’s turning out to be the kind of place Hanover families, students, sports teams, and downtown employees have been waiting for—just as Tony and Erin imagined. H

BALCH HILL

I

t’s a July afternoon on the summit of Balch Hill in 1960. A few families have wandered up for a picnic, their dogs chasing each other and darting at kites aloft in the breeze. Near the stone wall, two young mothers are helping their little ones pick blueberries. Not many make it into the pail. Beyond the spire of Baker Tower, Mount Ascutney and distant Killington adorn the horizon.

It’s the dawn of a new decade. The Vietnam War is on, a charismatic young man is running for president, and fierce battles are underway over where new Interstate 89 will cross the river to meet I91, a decision that will change the face of the Upper Valley.

West Lebanon is a village surrounded by cornfields. Hanover’s hospital is expanding on Rope Ferry Road, and the Co-op Food Store is doing brisk business on Main Street. Rachel Carson is a few drafts into writing Silent Spring and the first city refugees are arriving as the “back to the land” movement picks up steam. Kendal is farmland.

Nobody wants to live near the river because it smells like a sewer, and mothers caution their children not to fall into Mink Brook.

Robin Kaiser, who grew up near Balch Hill, recalls that “There seemed no lack of wilderness. We rarely saw wildlife bigger than a raccoon, skunk, or porcupine. We rarely saw deer or bear, because they had plenty of habitat and didn’t need to come close to town.”

Protecting land in Hanover’s beautiful rural uplands and on Moose Mountain helps confront the climate crisis by keeping habitat connected and reducing flooding in valleys below. In 1970, there were only three conserved natural areas in the entire town: Pine Park and two protected by the Hanover Conservancy. The larger map shows the results of the Conservancy’s work to date.

MOOSE MT REGION

FOUNDER BOB NORMAN The Conservancy’s five founders included Bob Norman, a mathematics professor at Dartmouth, who remains a valued advisor and emeritus board member 60 years later. Bob, who later served as president for a number of years, felt that the new organization’s first president should be a woman, and Carolyn Tenney stepped ably into the role. Bob has been active throughout the community—Upper Valley and state chapters of the Sierra Club, Hanover Bicycle Committee, and committees on alternative transportation and community planning. With another former Hanover Conservation Council president, Louis Cornell, Bob created Environmental Insight, a weekly radio program that ran for over 25 years, and organized tours of solar and energy efficient homes. In 1999, Bob led the council’s effort to protect the Mink Brook Nature Preserve, and in 2019, the 20th anniversary of that challenging project, the Conservancy dedicated the Norman Overlook to Bob and his vision for our community.

While the climate crisis is the top priority, a close second is now caring for the many acres of protected lands and trails—in perpetuity—and ensuring the Conservancy has the capacity to meet that obligation.

IT’S ALL ABOUT PARTNERSHIP In the last five years, the Conservancy has stepped up to help the town and college with some high-profile projects.

In 2016, as they considered opening the vast water supply lands to public recreation for the first time in a half century, the Conservancy provided trailhead kiosks, maps, a new trail guide, and interpretive signs.

When the Town of Hanover and Trust for Public Land embarked on ambitious efforts to protect the 175-acre Hudson Farm (2017) and 250-acre Mink Brook Community Forest (2021) in the Greensboro/Trescott area, the Conservancy joined in to help with fundraising and building awareness.

There was a sense of impending boom, not gloom, as Hanover looked toward a bright future in the healthy post WWII economy—as home to a world-class academic institution, fine teaching hospital, and federal research laboratory served by a probable major highway interchange.

What could go wrong?

Stringing a Green Necklace While there were rules for Hanover’s downtown precinct, there was no townwide zoning. Town fathers (no mothers then) hired a consultant to prepare a report entitled “Hanover Plans Ahead,” the first real master plan. It proposed a green belt around downtown from the Rinker Tract and Storrs Pond over Balch Hill and Velvet Rocks to Mink Brook. At the time, the only permanently protected land in Hanover was Pine Park.

On March 14, 1961, Town Meeting adopted the first townwide zoning ordinance based on this report, but omitting the proposed green belt.

That very day, five concerned citizens (Bob Norman, Carolyn Tenney, George Wrightson, Ted Hunter, and Jean Hennessey) met to see what could be done to protect those areas.

They were back at Town Meeting the next year with a petition to add a new type of zone, Natural Preserve, which won approval and soon embraced several of the most special places.

This energetic group of volunteers, most connected to Dartmouth, became the Hanover Conservation Council, formally incorporating as a nonprofit by 1963 and ready to raise funds to preserve local lands. They were far ahead of the curve; at the time, you could count the land protection organizations in New Hampshire on one hand: Society for Protection of New Hampshire Forests, New Hampshire Audubon, and two groups focused on Squam Lakes. Today, there are more than 40.

Eager to demonstrate what could be done, the Council focused on 43 acres at the mouth of Grant Brook in Lyme— today the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s Wilder Wildlife Management Area. The Tanzi Tract along Mink Brook in Hanover was next, the first of many cooperative projects with the town (the most recent is this year’s Mink Brook Community Forest).

The group learned it could be helpful to its public partner in many ways: by raising funds to pay for appraisals or surveys, negotiating with landowners, seeking grants, and often by purchasing land to take it off the market until Town Meeting could vote to accept it. Today, the Conservancy founders’ vision has resulted in a green future for more than 2,600 acres of land.

Early Environmental Educators The all-volunteer Council quickly found its niche in the community, sponsoring a smorgasbord of educational activities to support its conservation mission. The Council provided books to the Howe Library and, in the schools, supplied not only books, teaching materials, and camperships for students but also scholarships for teachers who wanted to learn more.

This was a time when awakening environmental awareness had lurched ahead of teacher training, and the Council was there to fill the gap. With construction of the new Ray School, the Council helped develop nature trails. When the Montshire Museum opened in the former Golfside Bowling Lanes on Lyme Road in 1976, the Council provided books and teaching kits. For adults, the Council sponsored nature films, birding trips, and forums on land use planning.

Back at Balch Hill, the Council had purchased the summit in 1970, forever protecting blueberrying and kite flying.

Together, the Council and town fended off the developers of Long Island’s Levitttown, who sought to build 126 52

F I N D H E R E I N H A N O V E R AT W W W. H E R E I N H A N O V E R .CO M

condominiums and then 49 houses on the hill from Hemlock Road.

All knew that teamwork and partnerships multiply community impact.

The Council argued in support of a town conservation commission and acted as fiscal agent for the Hanover Garden Club’s Julius Mason Fund, promoting “beautification.” Seeing the success of local conservation efforts focused on Hanover, other towns sought similar options and in 1985, the regional Upper Valley Land Trust was founded with the participation of Council members. Today, hundreds of people are members of both, to the benefit of all. The Conservancy remains a private, nonprofit membership organization that receives no funding from the Town of Hanover.

When a 35-lot subdivision was proposed for 112 acres around Mink Brook and the Tanzi Tract, the Council worked with UVLT, Dartmouth College, and the Winter Center for Indigenous Traditions to purchase and protect today’s Mink Brook Nature Preserve in 1999.

The Work Continues Volunteers had shouldered this entire enterprise, but it was time to grow.

Steve Fowler, former Council treasurer, recalls, “I became involved in the late ’90s, attracted by the excellent, energetic people on the board who were so welcoming. This was a transitional time for the organization as it evolved from a very effective ‘kitchen table’ organization dependent on its board to a more mature nonprofit with staff, an office, audited financials, and other requirements to obtain grants, increase membership, and undertake larger projects.

“Happily, it continues to attract and engage a wonderful group of board members and volunteers who combine expertise with a willingness to roll up their sleeves for all kinds of work,” Steve says. “Today’s Hanover

Conservancy is an exemplary small nonprofit in its functioning and does outstanding land conservation work benefitting the Hanover community.”

In 2000 the Council hired its first part-time executive director and soon achieved wins at Greensboro Ridge and Lower Slade Brook, where development was clustered to allow natural areas to be protected for all. In 2010, the first full-time executive director came on board, this time an environmental biologist, and priorities shifted to strategic conservation aimed at climate change resilience.

Before the decade was out, the Council had updated its name to the Hanover Conservancy, nearly a quarter of Hanover households were supporting the community land trust, and 500 acres of higher elevation habitat and a trail network on Moose Mountain were protected.

While the climate crisis is the top priority, a close second is now caring for the many acres of protected lands and trails—in perpetuity—and ensuring the Conservancy has the capacity to meet that obligation. A new strategic plan, Promise to Protect, will guide this work.

Back on Balch Hill in 2021, 10 volunteers have just wound up a project to level trails; a neighbor who sought refuge there from the pressures of the pandemic had called in with the request. Balch Hill and the green necklace will be there for her whenever she needs it—and for everyone, forever.

NORTH MAIN STREET, 1890

Hanover’s Evolution ARCHITECT FRANK J. BARRETT, JR. ON THE TOWN’S CHANGING ARCHITECTURE

Every town has a history, not only of the people who have lived there but also of the buildings they created. If we could watch a time-lapse film of Hanover, we’d see trees getting cleared and buildings going up, coming down, and being replaced, and not just on Main Street.

Since founder Eleazar Wheelock chose its location in 1770, Dartmouth College and Hanover have been inseparably linked, their natural and built environments evolving together.

ACADEMY BUILDING, 1837

Interior spreads from Lost Hanover, New Hampshire 2021.

HANOVER INN, 1889

Top: Culver Hall (1871–1929), located on the north side of East Wheelock Street, was the flagship building of the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts during the years the school was in Hanover, before moving to Durham in 1893 and becoming the University of New Hampshire. It was designed by architect Edward Dow of Concord.

Tastes changed, and 50-plus years later it was looked upon as just an old Victorian-era frump that detracted from the new Georgian Revival architecture that was becoming so prevalent on the Dartmouth Campus.

Center: The so-called Academy Building was designed by architect Ammi Burnham Young in 1837 to house Moor’s Indian Charity School, the Connecticut-established institution that was the predecessor of Dartmouth College, that finally ceased to be in 1849. The original building seen here was a masterpiece of Greek Revival architecture; however horrific alterations and additions in 1871 and 1898 caused a future generation of Dartmouth Trustees by 1937 to consider it “unquestionably the ugliest building in Hanover,” and ordered it to be demolished.

Bottom: After the Dartmouth Hotel (1813–1887) burned in a spectacular fire on a subzero night on January 4, 1887, that almost took all of the buildings on the east side of South Main Street, the college chose to rebuild a new hotel on the site of the destroyed facility. Lambert Packard of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, was selected as the architect, probably at the urging of the influential Fairbanks family who were involved with college affairs, and this brick and sandstone Romanesque Revival style structure with touches of Queen Anne details was the result. At first named the Wheelock, in 1902 the building was substantially remodeled to look more Colonial Revival, and the name was changed to the Hanover Inn. In 1966 the building was demolished and replaced by the current facility.

Due to changing tastes in architecture, growth, and even neglect, many of the historic buildings of the area are no longer standing. Landmarks of previous eras, like the lovely entryway at the original Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital and the handful of buildings that marked the start of the University of New Hampshire, now live only in the past and in pictures.

Frank J. “Jay” Barrett, Jr. has chronicled much of this evolution since 1997, when his first pictorial book on the subject, Hanover, New Hampshire, was published. His fourth book on the subject, Lost Hanover, New Hampshire, came out in July.

A second-generation architect who grew up in Hanover, Jay is uniquely qualified to chronicle his hometown.

He trained in architecture and structural engineering at Wentworth Institute in Boston and is a past president of the Hanover Historical Society. His architectural practice includes historic preservation work, and his home is a restored former Boston & Maine Railroad station located at Ely, Vermont, that has been placed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Of his latest work, he says, “As I wrote in the book’s introduction, since the time that I was a young boy growing up in downtown Hanover, I have loved many of these old buildings, their sepia-toned historic images, and their uniquely Hanover stories. Sixty years later, as I sat down to write about them and share their stories, they are like old friends from long ago and a fascinating misty past. This was a really fun project, and I hope that it informs and is enjoyed for many years to come.”

The book captures the effects of changing tastes and styles on the built environment of Dartmouth. For example, he says, “Former Dartmouth President Earnest Mark Hopkins purged the campus area of a lot of Victorian-era buildings and sort of replaced them with nice Georgian, Colonial-Revival buildings.”

S P OT L I G H T And he has witnessed these changes himself. As he told the student newspaper The Dartmouth, “I can remember the Hopkins Center for the Arts being built as a young boy. I’ve always really enjoyed that building for a variety of reasons, but by the 1980s, 1990s, it was a building that was underappreciated and out of style—people were just sort of turning against [postwar modern architecture]. Thankfully, the college has taken good care of the Hopkins Center, and what changes they’ve made to it over the years have been very sensitive to the original architecture of the building. But the style of buildings comes and goes, the needs for various buildings come and go, and that’s especially true in this book.”

It may seem as if the Hanover Green has been the same for time immemorial, so it’s fascinating to read about what is actually the same, what is different, and what looks original but isn’t. Dartmouth also published its Strategic Master Plan in July (www.dartmouth.edu/masterplan), giving us a look at what the college hopes its built environment will look like in 30 years’ time, making Jay’s book perfectly timely as well as timeless.

he two-story clapboard house and every other house in the walk-through historic site could have been in New England, but my husband Jack and I were in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia.

The 18th century home was dark red with dark red shutters, a shake roof, and a couple of brick chimneys. Its modest (well, modest by today’s standards) front door faced the street. We walked toward the tidy property, which caught our attention due to its crimson color, and noticed the gate to the backyard was open.

What we saw next was not exactly a basic backyard. Several buildings, including a brick kitchen, stable, chicken coop, coach house, dairy, and a second two-story dwelling—a former slaves’ quarters—filled the space around a large shade tree and shaggy lawn. A man dressed in red knickers and a red tunic with a white, puffy-sleeved shirt and white knee socks tended a small garden by the back fence.

Randolph House Colonial Williamsburg is a “living museum” in which historians in costumes perform daily tasks around Williamsburg as they might have done during the 1700s. These in-character guides portray people who lived and worked in Williamsburg when it was the capital of the colony of Virginia and a center of political influence leading up to the American Revolution and during Virginia’s early statehood.

“Peyton Randolph, who owned this house, was the most influential patriot you’ve never heard of,” said the gardener. “He would have been president of the United States, but he had a stroke and died nine months before the Declaration of Independence.”

He had our attention and went on to explain that Randolph, a lawyer, was speaker of the Virginia House of Burgesses. He traveled to Philadelphia in 1774 to attend the First Continental Congress and was elected president of the Congress but had to resign after six weeks due to his responsibilities in Virginia. He was reelected president of the Second Continental Congress, also in Philadelphia the following year, but again needed to return to Virginia due to political unrest at home. He returned to Philadelphia to the Congress (with John Hancock now as its president) and died while it was in session.

“Peyton Randolph was really the first president of our country, right?”

I asked. “Technically, he served as the 68

first president of the United Colonies of North America, not the United States, which wasn’t established until after we won the war,” explained the gardener.

He paused in his labors, leaning on an impossibly large hoe, then spent the next hour educating us about colonial politics, the concept of voting—which was a privilege held by landowners and prominent business owners, not a right like we consider it today—and what vegetables people ate, including peas, beets, corn, and salsify.

“Randolph was a remarkable man,” concluded the gardener. “He was also a justice of the peace and a farmer. George Washington was one of his best friends, and Thomas Jefferson was his first cousin once removed. Jefferson replaced Randolph at the Continental Congress. In fact, Randolph died while having dinner with Jefferson in Philadelphia.”

Governor’s Palace Both Washington and Jefferson had other ties to Williamsburg besides Randolph.

Washington courted his wife Martha there, and Jefferson, the second governor of the state of Virginia (after Patrick Henry), lived in the Governor’s Palace.

From the Randolph residence, we headed east down a broad thoroughfare, curious about the palace. There were no turrets, but it looked grander than other buildings in Colonial Williamsburg. Constructed with brick and surrounded by a brick wall, the palace was three stories tall with a rooftop terrace.

The two-story cupula above the terrace reminded me of the top of Dartmouth’s Baker Tower. In addition to Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, seven colonial governors resided there.

We followed a man dressed more formally than the gardener into the palace.

He wore nicer knickers and knee socks, a knee-length wool overcoat with brass buttons down its front, a crisp black triangular hat, and polished black shoes with gold buckles at the arch. “Welcome to the Governor’s Palace,” began the man, as we entered the front foyer of the building. “Please wait here. The governor will see you shortly.”

We peered around the small but impressive circular foyer that rose 15 feet above our heads. The walls were adorned with several columns of crossed swords. Eighteen muskets faced each other above the ornate marble-framed fireplace. An array of long-handled pistols crowned the top of a polished wooden door on our right, and a gold emblematic shield crested the entrance to a hallway blocked by our guide.

“This room is meant to give a sense of strength and authority to visiting farmers, military personnel, businessmen, and anyone else wishing to see the governor,” he continued, then he motioned us to follow him down the hall. Most of the first floor was open to tourists, including the ballroom, with its garish blue walls.

The formal part of the tour ended at the back of the palace, which opened onto its manicured gardens. Curiously, the white paths, which looked like fine gravel from afar, were actually seashells.

We wandered for a half hour among the many heritage flowers and wellcared-for shrubs, eventually making our way past sizable brick stables and then back onto the street. As we walked, we tried to imagine how intimidating an appointment with the governor would have been and how luxurious the palace was during colonial times.

Custis Tenement After touring the Governor’s Palace, we had no plan except to see whatever we happened to find. While walking down Duke of Gloucester Street, the Bruton Parish Church caught my eye. The church dates back to 1674, a hundred years before the American Revolution.

Religious services are still held there.

Across the street from the church, several women wearing big sun hats and long cotton dresses were working feverishly in a flower garden beside another two-story clapboard house. A sign on the house said it was a national historic landmark called the Custis Tenement.

Tenement? It didn’t look like a poor house, and it wasn’t. One of the women wearing a sun hat stood up to explain.

“Tenement merely meant rental property during colonial times,” she said. “This house was part of Martha Washington’s dowry.”

Another intriguing story unfolded.

George Washington was Martha’s second husband. Her first husband was a wealthy man named Daniel Parke Custis, 20 years her senior and with whom she had four children, though only two sur72

F I N D H E R E I N H A N O V E R AT W W W. H E R E I N H A N O V E R .CO M

Custis Tenement vived past childhood. Seven years into their marriage, Custis fell sick and died, leaving his wife, age 26, a young widow.

Apparently, George Washington, then a colonel, met Martha Custis while visiting Williamsburg on military matters. Though Martha had many suitors, Washington captured her heart, and they married in 1759. The rest, as they say, is history. George Washington became the first president of the United States, and Martha Washington became the first First Lady.

During our visit to Colonial Williamsburg, we also toured the capitol building and watched a myriad of demonstrations including a blacksmith hammering horseshoes, an apothecary blending colonial medicines, a book binder, a milliner making hats, and a furniture maker carving the leg of a harpsichord. We also learned about the role of slaves in Virginia during the colonial era through the Civil War, a topic that is once again top of mind.

By stepping back in time in Colonial Williamsburg, we now understand a lot more about how people in Virginia lived three centuries ago and how that influences our lives today. H

Tagine cooking is a method. Most tagines involve layering aromatics such as onions and garlic with meat, vegetables, spices, oil, and a bit of water. Most tagine recipes won't call for any prebrowning of aromatics and meat because all the ingredients steam and caramelize together.

LIVING WELL by

Katherine P. Cox

A Holistic Look at Men’s Health UNDERSTANDING ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION FOR TOO LONG, ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION HAS LIVED IN THE SHADOWS of embarrassment and misunderstanding. Today, though, men and their partners are more willing to visit their doctors and learn about a condition that is treatable in most cases. Often, it is the partners that encourage the visit, as it affects them as well, says Dr. Andre Berger, founder of the Rejuvalife Vitality Center in Beverly Hills.

82

F I N D H E R E I N H A N O V E R AT W W W. H E R E I N H A N O V E R .CO M

“Unfortunately, most men don’t receive treatment, although that’s changing a little bit. Why don’t men get treated? Feelings of shame are one reason. It’s a sensitive topic. Male ego is affected. They may be concerned that the doctor won’t take it seriously and they may worry the doctor won’t address the issue at all.”

Once causes are identified, a number of treatments are available. “It’s not a new thing but today we have a better understanding of testosterone, and other pharmaceutical treatments have come along since the late ’90s,” says Dr. Berger, Viagra and Cialis among the most recognizable. It’s also more common than people realize.

One study showed that 52 percent of men between the ages of 40 and 70 have erectile dysfunction. Of that 52 percent, 10 percent had complete ED, 25 percent had infrequent erections, and 17 percent experience periodic ED. In addition, studies show that it gets worse as men age.

CAUSES “There are a lot of causes,” Dr. Berger says.

Blood supply: Blood supply to the penis is a major culprit, and there are a number of conditions that reduce that blood supply. “Cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, prostate surgery, and prostate cancer cause vascular damage,” he says, “and that vascular damage can cause erectile dysfunction.”

Nerve supply: “Things that affect the nerve supply would include spinal-cord injuries, brain injuries, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and MS,” Dr. Berger says.

Anatomy: The anatomy of the penis could also be an issue contributing to erectile dysfunction, such as Pyrone’s disease, says Dr. Berger, an abnormal curvature of the penis.

Hormones: Low testosterone is a direct cause, but an increase in prolactin, high or low thyroid conditions, and high and low levels of cortisol can also impact erectile function.

Drugs and medications: Bloodpressure medications are notorious for causing ED, Dr. Berger says, as well as antidepressants and antipsychotics, antiandrogens, and recreational drugs including marijuana.

Psychological factors: Performance-related issues, past traumatic sexual experiences, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, and stress can all play a role in sexual dysfunction. “You can see it’s a complicated situation with a lot of potential contributing factors and causes,” Dr. Berger says. “Unfortunately, most men don’t receive treatment, although that’s changing a little bit.

Why don’t men get treated? Feelings of shame are one reason. It’s a sensitive topic. Male ego is affected. They may be concerned that the doctor won’t take it seriously and they may worry the doctor won’t address the issue at all.” One of the main referral sources for men to seek treatment is their partner, Dr. Berger says.

TREATMENT When a patient seeks help, there are a number of screenings a physician should conduct to determine the cause and prescribe treatment. A history of symptoms and a medical and psychosexual history will identify any sexual problems and common causes will help the doctor focus in on what applies to the patient and identify

“If you have low blood pressure to begin with or have uncontrolled blood pressure, angina, congestive heart failure, retinal disorders, or take alpha blockers, you shouldn’t take these medications.”

reversable risk factors. Weight loss, for example, is a simple solution in some cases. A physical examination should be done to identify penile deformities, prostate disease, and cardiovascular or neurological problems as well as lab tests to check blood sugar and testosterone levels. From there, the physician can make a diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan.

“From all that, you have to identify curable causes,” says Dr. Berger. “Then you have to identify lifestyle changes and risk factors that the patient can change.”

Education and counseling for the patient and the partner are important as well as identifying their needs and expectations.

The first line of treatment is medication such as Viagra, Cialis, and other similar drugs. Viagra reaches its maximum effect in about an hour and leaves the system in about four hours, Dr. Berger says. Cialis is a longer-acting drug that doesn’t reach maximum effect for about two hours but lasts about 17 and a half hours. Dr. Berger cautions that when taking Viagra, patients should avoid meals high in fat as that can delay absorption. Cialis is not affected by high-fat foods.

“You should not take these medications if you take any type of nitrate medication such as nitroglycerin as your blood pressure could fall really low,” Dr. Berger says. “If you 84

F I N D H E R E I N H A N O V E R AT W W W. H E R E I N H A N O V E R .CO M

have low blood pressure to begin with or have uncontrolled blood pressure, angina, congestive heart failure, retinal disorders, or take alpha blockers, you shouldn’t take these medications.”

The second line of treatment may include injections of medication into the muscle or the use of vacuum devices that increase the blood supply to hold an erection. If all has been exhausted, penile prosthesis implant may be an option. About 75 percent of patients are prescribed the oral medications; less than 10 percent get the injections, and less than 5 percent get the vacuum or implant.

Testosterone replacement therapy may be an option if the patient has low testosterone, which affects erectile dysfunction in four ways: it blocks the release of nitrous oxide, which is critical for optimal blood

flow; it has a negative effect on penile nerve muscle; it impairs the venous return; and it affects the function of the medications such as Viagra and Cialis. However, a combination of testosterone replacement and the medications will almost always remedy erectile dysfunction, Dr. Berger says.

Disinformation about testosterone replacement therapy causing prostate cancer has fueled some controversy, but Dr. Berger says there is no direct cause and effect. Testosterone may, however, cause prostate enlargement in patients that already have prostate cancer.

In all cases, patients must weigh risks versus rewards when they consider various forms of treatment for erectile dysfunction. It’s a complex issue that has many factors, “and most can be reversed or improved,”

Dr. Berger says. “Male erectile dysfunction can have a very negative impact on relationships, so it should be understood in that context.”H

A Moment with

Beth Vettori Executive director, Kendal at Hanover

Kendal at Hanover is the only Life Plan Community in the Upper Valley. What is a Life Plan Community?

We provide our independent living residents with the comfort and peace of mind in knowing that their longterm care needs will be provided for within our community. That peace of mind is also important to residents’ families. When the need arises, they can receive outstanding care in our Health Center. Our Health Center consists of assisted living levels one and two, as well as memory care.

We also have an on-site DartmouthHitchcock Kendal Clinic that serves as the primary care provider for all our residents.

Tell us how residents have a voice in activities and events.

We have almost 100 committees and special-interest groups that are led by our residents. From our Residents 96

Council, which works with my staff and me on organizational planning, to our Diversity and Inclusion Committee and our bridge group, residents organize and participate in so many different activities.

This exemplifies the concept of a resident-driven lifestyle, which enables our residents to live life to its fullest. There really is something for everyone.

We understand that a trip to Switzerland with your grandmother introduced you to the joys of working with seniors.

For my high school graduation gift, my parents blessed me with a 14-day guided tour of Switzerland. I was a rising college student, merely 18 years young, in a tour group with 60 others, all between the ages of 60 to 80-plus. Was it what a typical graduating senior would experience?

I think not, but it led to a great fond-

F I N D H E R E I N H A N O V E R AT W W W. H E R E I N H A N O V E R .CO M

ness for listening to and sharing the remarkable life stories of fascinating people. Seeing their wisdom, joy, and passion was inspiring and gave me much to look forward to in my own life, which is connecting with and supporting our elders.

You’ve lived in the Upper Valley for more than three years. What activities do you enjoy taking part in when away from work?

I am an enthusiastic cyclist (road, mountain, fat, and gravel), and I enjoy snowboarding, cross-country skiing, yoga, paddleboarding, and observing the sights and listening to the sounds of nature—especially around bodies of water. I also love to support local establishments by consuming their goods. I am always up for a good leadership book and other whimsical reads when my mind needs a break.

Cherished and sacred time is also spent with friends and family. H

Come see this stunning contemporary nestled on 5.46 private acres on Sunday Mountain, with trails. This well-constructed home has been recently renovated, with new hickory floors, new windows, high-end kitchen, tiled baths and more. There is a 2nd floor private master bedroom with en suite bath and 2 more bedrooms with a ¾ bath on the 1st floor. The home’s thoughtful design and high built quality take full advantage of all that the sun and land have to offer. While cooking you can enjoy family and friends relaxing in your open dining and living areas. A private deck with hot tub off the living room overlooks beautiful perennial gardens. $399,000
