Winter Wishes

P HOTO BY I A N R AYM O N D

The winter season is upon us once again, and with it comes planning for holiday giftgiving and get-togethers with friends and family. Hanover businesses are stocked with fabulous items of every description, so shop close to home to support our friends and neighbors and boost the local economy.

Make Main Street Kitchens the first stop on your shopping trip downtown (page 40).

Celebrating 20 years in business, Mary and Marv Schouten are stocking fine cookware, colorful table linens, unique accessories, and a multitude of kitchen gadgets—everything you need to set a beautiful table and prepare and serve your special holiday feasts. Anyone on your gift list would enjoy a present from the store, and—in the midst of the holiday hustle and bustle—you’ll certainly appreciate the convenience of their complimentary giftwrapping service.

Next, you’ll want to visit Ramblers Way, a beautifully renovated store brimming with high-quality, classic styles (page 62). The company’s mission is to create fashions sustainably made in the US, using only natural—not synthetic—ingredients.

When you select a luxurious wool sweater or blazer for yourself or a loved one, you’ll know that its timeless style will endure year after year.

A gift idea that’s sure to delight loved ones is a photo book from Picaboo (page 72). Located in Hanover, this business can turn your favorite memories into cherished keepsakes. Visit the website at www.picaboo.com to create your books, and you can also design your holiday greeting cards and more. Check out the company’s Cards for Causes program, in which local charities benefit from the sale of cards.

If you’re a fan of outdoor winter sports, you’ll appreciate Lisa Ballard’s tips from Ski Faster!, her most recent book (page 52). Learn from Lisa’s advice before you take to the slopes this year, and you’ll be a better, more confident skier.

Whatever winter activities and events you love most, the staff and I wish you wonderful days and warm, cozy nights surrounded by your favorite people. Enjoy!

Enjoy!

WINTER ACTIVITIES

GREEN MOUNTAIN CLUB’S “O” SECTION

W

inter outdoor enthusiasts find a perfect fit with the Green Mountain Club, with its extensive roster of activities that range from snowshoeing and hiking to backcountry skiing. In warmer weather, kayaking, canoeing, and cycling ventures join the mix.

The GMC, established in 1910, has more than 9,000 members in 14 sections, including one in Massachusetts and one in Connecticut. Locally, the “O” Section (“O” stands for Ottauquechee) founded in the 1980s has about 340 members.

“The vast majority join GMC because they want to support maintenance of the trails,” says Dick Andrews, president of the “O” Section. “We maintain more than the Long Trail and the Appalachian Trail. We maintain side trails too, so all together it adds up to 500 miles.” His section maintains 46 miles of the Appalachian Trail extending from the Long Trail to the New Hampshire border. The “O” Section members are considering a name change to include the words “Upper Valley” as a reflection of its area of focus.

The “O” Section offers about 175 activities annually, including workdays on the trail.

“We inspect assigned areas, report on conditions, trim brush, and paint trail blazes,” Dick says, citing a few examples. “We clean water bar drainage, ideally twice a year. Members also adopt short pieces of the trails, checking them a few times a year and fixing any problems. People also adopt trail shelters.”

THE BROUT ORCHID COLLECTION

W

inter blues, be gone! Thanks to the Brout Orchid Collection at Dartmouth College, we can be surrounded by beauty in two rooms of about 900 orchids, one with a cooler climate mimicking the South American cloud forest at 6,000 feet and the other tropical.

The collection is located in the greenhouse on the roof of the Class of 1978 Life Sciences Building.

The greenhouse also features a multi-use space with tables and benches where people can eat

lunch or study. Three more plant rooms include the tropical room with bananas, chocolate, cotton, and carnivorous and air plants; the subtropical space that features citrus fruit trees, lots of ferns, and a fish pond in a climate like that of California and Georgia; and the arid room with succulents from the New and Old Worlds.

The orchid collection was a gift of Alan Brout, Class of 1951. He made the donation in 1997 and continues to visit the greenhouse, providing funds to maintain the collection, buying new plants, and bringing in new orchids.

Clockwise from far left: An anthurium (front) and banana (rear) in the tropical room. Tropical orchid Brassica ‘Sunrise Glow.’ Orchid Zygopetalum maculatum from South America. Phalaenopsis (moth orchid). White bat flower. The multi-use room. This purple beauty is tropical orchid Vanda ‘Noriko Sumida,’ Kim's favorite.

Greenhouse assistant Terry Barry cares for the orchid collection, a job that is close to full time. “It is a lot of work to care for 900 orchids,” says Kim DeLong, greenhouse curator and manager. “Most orchids thrive on benign neglect. You don’t want to baby them too much by doing things such as overwatering.”

“Our purpose is outreach and education,” Kim says. “Lots of school groups and garden clubs visit.” All

the plants have informational signs stating the common, botanical, and family names, along with medicinal uses if they exist. “It’s a great place to spend the winter,” she adds. “People are welcome to take photos. We encourage that.”

The Brout Orchid Collection, along with the other four rooms, is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4pm. Park in the lot north of the building, near

the intersection of Highways 10 and 120. Enter the rear of the Life Sciences Building and follow signs to the fourth floor. The greenhouse opened in August 2011, with half of the space devoted to research only and not open to the public. H Visit www.dartmouth .edu/~grnhouse/index.shtml for more information.

DESIGNER GOLD CELEBRATES 40 YEARS

S

ome people are fortunate enough to discover a career that engages them for life. Paul Gross of Designer Gold on Lebanon Street in Hanover is one of them. This year he celebrates 40 years in business as a goldsmith. His plan is to extend this run to reach the half-century mark. “I love making things,” Paul says. “It is still amazing to me that I can make beautiful jewelry.”

Paul was a freshman at Dartmouth College when he happened upon the jewelry shop in Hopkins Center in 1969. Invited in, he was soon at work incorporating his collection of stones into jewelry. He was hooked, spending most of his free time while at

28

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

Dartmouth as an assistant in the jewelry shop. Although he graduated summa cum laude and taught for two years with plans for graduate school and a degree in child psychology, plans changed when he met professionals in the jewelry field who thought he could have a career.

“I abandoned graduate school applications after friends bought a building in Chicago where I could have a studio,” he recalls. “Once there, I created a collection that I sold to one of the best jewelers in Chicago.”

Paul’s journey in the jewelry business continued when he was offered the temporary one-year position of instructor in the jewelry shop at Dartmouth. This brought him back to Hanover and eventually led to his starting a shop

with a partner in 1977. “We rented a couple of rooms for $200 and with $1,400 in capital,” he says. “It would be pretty hard to do that now. Customers climbed the rickety stairs to the second floor to ask, ‘Will you make this engagement ring?’ or other pieces.”

In 1984, Paul and his partner split the business, with him staying in Hanover, and in 1990 he bought his current location in Hanover Park, where he created a gallery showing his work along with that of other selected artists.

“Stones started me,” Paul says.

“They still inspire me. I take out stones and look at them for inspiration.” That delight continues to give him energy. He is also inspired by his customers. “The most fun part of the business is working with customers,” he says. “I can be a part of their lives when I make them pieces of jewelry.”

“Most of Paul’s work is commission,” says Peggy Sadler, Paul's wife and business manager. “He works with customers to make a design they want. Sometimes people bring in jewelry they don’t like, and he takes out stones and recasts the metal in a new design.”

Reflecting on 40 years in the jewelry business, Paul says, “It was serendipitous I came to Dartmouth and fell into this. I discovered something about myself I had never realized.

Jewelry prevailed.” H Designer Gold 3 Lebanon Street Hanover, NH (603) 643-3864 www.designergoldjewelry.com

BEST FRIENDS TIPS, NEWS & FURRY FACTS

How About a Hedgehog?

Treat Them Good Teachable moments call for treats. Whether you’re training your dog to stay, building his trust, or helping him overcome fear in a new situation, a treat can help. But choose wisely to avoid unhealthy ingredients.

Avoid treats that don’t specify the main ingredient, usually some kind of meat (beef, chicken, or a specific fish like salmon) and vegetable.

Other ingredients should be listed as whole foods, like blueberries, apples, or carrots. Dogs love pieces of cheese and roast chicken as treats too.

Preservatives in t Star-shaped chewy treats should cheese dog be natural, such as treats. vitamins C and E. Avoid those with chemicals—BHA, Homemade dog sodium nitrate, BHT, biscuits for the and so on. holidays. q If you love baking, consider crafting your own nutritious treats.

Only in recent years have African pygmy hedgehogs been kept as pets, and when cared for properly, they make great little pals, but they aren’t for everyone. If cuddly is on your list of qualities in your new best friend, this pet is not for you. Sharp spines on their backs protect them from predators and make handling them a prickly business until they relax.

Hedgehogs roll into tight balls when frightened and must be handled gently and often to get them to relax and uncurl, unless you want to spend time staring at what might look like a pincushion. They’re also nocturnal, so if you hit the hay early, consider a different pet. Like other animals, hedgehogs can carry salmonella and other diseases, so as with all pets, owners should thoroughly wash their hands after handling pets or cleaning cages.

Hedgehogs can be adorable, loving pets if handled often. So if you’re sure you want to befriend one, be ready to devote lots of time, attention, and TLC to your new pet.

Chill Out at the Cat Café If you find yourself in San Diego and you’re a cat fancier, visit the Cat Café at 472 Third Avenue.

Originating in Taiwan, the first cat café drew crowds of tourists as well as local cat lovers, all of whom enjoyed opportunities to interact with the resident cats while enjoying a beverage or snack.

Japan boasts more than 150 cat cafés. In cities there, residents often don’t have the space or time to care for cats, so visiting a café offers a chance to interact with felines. Fans say cat cafés are great places to hang out, relax,

and wind down after a stressful workday.

San Diego’s Cat Café places great value on the cats’ welfare, not only because it’s the right thing to do but also because it’s good for business. They limit how many customers can be in the cat room, depending on the activity level of customers and the number of cats hanging out. Most of the cats are available for adoption, and the café has a partnership with the San Diego Humane Society. To learn more, visit www.catcafesd.com.

It may be a cat, a bird, a ferret, or a guinea pig, but the chances are high that when someone close to you dies, a pet will be there to pick up the slack. . . . Pets are our seat belts on the emotional roller coaster of life—they can be trusted, they keep us safe, and they sure do smooth out the ride.

GOOD CHEER BY

Linda A. Ditch

Spirits of the Season Raise a glass to the holidays with these kicked-up beverages

There’s a chill in the air. The snow cannons are blowing at the ski areas to supplement Mother Nature’s efforts. Twinkling lights cover every surface, and carols fill the air. It’s the time of year for happy spirits—both the cheery kind and the liquid variety. Giving the perfect bottle or offering a seasonal cocktail is a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays and toast the end of 2017.

The Gift of Spirits How do you pick the perfect liquor or wine gift? Perhaps the best way is to take note of the recipient’s favorite beverage. Say they enjoy White Russians. You may want to combine their favorite liquors to make that drink, or perhaps treat them to that more expensive bottle they’ve been eyeing but have never purchased.

Another idea is to give them all the tools needed to make their favorite drink at home. Box up not only the necessary liquor and mixers but also the appropriate glasses, cocktail shaker, strainer, muddler, and whatever else they may need; an ice bucket makes a terrific container for this gift.

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

LET IT SNOW EGGNOG 10 oz of your favorite eggnog 1 oz brandy 1 oz spiced rum Freshly grated nutmeg Add all the ingredients to a glass except the nutmeg. Stir to combine. Top with nutmeg.

Spice it up!

Freshly grated nutmeg, crumbled gingersnaps, or a drizzle of butterscotch syrup will make your holiday eggnog extra special. Gingerbread men and sugar cookie stars make festive garnishes for the rims.

WINTER 2017/2018 • HERE IN HANOVER

GOOD CHEER If wine is on your gift list, sparklers (also known as champagne and sparkling wine) make a festive and fun choice.

Peter Rutledge of Norwich Wines & Spirits says, “Instead of prosecco, try a good dry Spanish Cava like Perelada ($12). Unlike most prosecco, it’s bottle-fermented like true champagne, so it’s toasty and rich but truly dry.” If you’re looking for a rosé, Peter states, “Antech Cuvée Emotion ($18) is a great sparkling rosé with bright, nice fruit up front and a crisp dry finish.

Refreshing, festive, and delicious!”

If you’ll be buying liquor for your holiday celebrations or for gifts, Peter suggests keeping your purchases local.

If your friend enjoys rum, then pick one up from Dunc Mill, which makes both maple-and elderflower-flavored rums.

Does he or she like vodka? Vermont Spirits makes a number of great varieties, including gold, white, and crimson vodkas. They also make an apple brandy, maple spirit, bourbon, whiskey, and gin.

Green Mountain Distillers makes organic vodkas (including lemon and orange), gin, and maple liqueur.

“You might also want to try Silo Vodka. It’s made from Vermont corn so it’s gluten free,” says Peter. Some of his other recommendations for the recipes here include Mad River Distillery Vanilla Rum and First-Run Rum (made from Demerara sugar instead of molasses and aged in new charred barrels for flavor) and Perc Coffee Liqueur (made from fresh-brewed coffee) by Saxtons River Distillery.

Holiday Entertaining Maybe your gift to friends and family (and to yourself ) is to gather everyone together for some holiday cheer.

Set up a well-stocked bar, even if it’s just a corner table for the evening.

The necessities include liquor, mixers, glasses, and garnishes for various cocktails.

is located

at 24 South Main Street, in the middle of the block in downtown Hanover, where it has been a mainstay of the community for two decades.

The purveyor of kitchen, bath, and other wares for the home is all about community, serving the people who live, work, and shop in the Hanover area. Recalling the day the shop celebrated its anniversary in October, owner Mary Schouten says, “I think I knew everyone who walked in the door that Saturday morning.”

“The local community and beyond the Upper Valley and the Dartmouth community have been good to us. Alumni, parents, students, prospective students—they have all shopped with us,” adds Mary’s co-owner and husband Marv.

AN IMMEDIATE HIT What does it take to serve a diverse group of customers? “We’re successful for a number of reasons, but an important one is the people who work here,” says Mary. “The customers love them. They are knowledgeable, engaging, helpful, and they go above and beyond.” Mary and Marv do the buying for the store but accept suggestions from the staff.

“They know some areas better than we do, and customers will say they want to be helped by them rather than us,” laughs Marv. The staff are loyal in return, and the Schoutens have not needed to hire anyone for 10 years.

The shop was an immediate hit when it opened in 1997 in the storefront that once housed the Art Bennett Ski Shop, although the inventory was a bit small to start. “We just laugh when we look at the pictures now,” says Mary. “The store was more ‘decorated’ back then because we didn’t have the merchandise to put on the shelves.” Marv adds, “Within six months’ time, we knew it would work and we’d enjoy it.”

With the rise of Internet shopping, some home goods stores, such as the big-box Linens N Things, have folded. “In order to survive as long as we have, you have to be willing to take different paths,” says Mary.

For instance, the store carries fewer “electrics”—toasters, blenders, coffee makers, and the like—and fewer high-end products such as pottery. Main Street Kitchens also stocks such diverse items as rugs, shower curtains, and Baggallini handbags.

“Gadgets are huge for us,” adds Marv, “utensils and weird things like the kale stripper, which is our biggest seller.” Mary adds, “Small things that can be bought on impulse always sell a lot.”

Clockwise from right: Mary and Marv Schouten with LuLu, the store mascot for nine years. You’ll find a colorful selection of placemats to complement your table. Lisa Newcity is always ready to help with friendly service. The store is stocked with an extensive collection of knives and other utensils.

Now nine years old, she started at the store when she was a puppy, and the Schoutens taught her not to bark there.

“We are a dog-friendly place and are on certain dogs’ routes. They come and won’t leave until they get their cookie,” says Marv.

Celebrities visit the store too when they are in town. The Schoutens recently had Téa Leoni, star of the CBS show Madam Secretary, shopping, and Cyndi Lauper has visited many times. J.D. Salinger and Bob Keeshan, local celebs who have passed on, were regulars.

“It’s always fun for us to have famous people in,” says Mary. “We have always hoped for Ina Garten to stop in and even done Ina window displays to try to lure her in.” Marv adds, “None of the politicians come in either.”

After deciding to leave social work, Mary was a manager at Homescapes, a homewares store in the PowerHouse Plaza, for 10 years. “There were a lot of ex-social services workers at the store,” Mary recalls. “Retail seemed calm in comparison,” she jokes.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE TITLE OF MY BOOK, SKI FASTER!, AND THINK, “BUT I DON’T WANT TO SKI FASTER,” YOU’RE NOT ALONE. Everyone has a speed threshold on skis, even the top racers on the World Cup. Go faster than your comfort level, and you feel out of control. On the other hand, you might be annoyed by your slower pace compared to others on the slopes. Good news! With a few adjustments to your technique and a couple of gear considerations, you’ll keep up without getting nervous.

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

1 TIP: As my skis carve around this fast turn, the outside ski has the most pressure. My uphill ski is pulled under me and tipped on edge the same amount as the downhill ski. My body forms a comma shape with the downhill ski out from under me.

2 TIP: At the end of the turn, my skis are now across the hill. Check out those ski bases! My skis are nicely on edge. Notice how my torso still has some orientation over my downhill ski. I never fully turn my chest across the hill.

W IN TER 2017/2018 • HERE IN HANOVER

3 TIP: At the moment I want to start the new turn, I plant my pole, aiming it down the hill, not toward my ski tips.

Tuned skis and boots that hold your heel and ankle in place and that support you as you flex forward in them give you more control and confidence as your speed increases.

GEAR Your anxiety when your speed picks up might not be you. It may be your ski gear. Stability and confidence are directly related to vibration control. The more vibration coming through your legs as you turn, the less stable you feel. One of the big differences between low-end and high-end skis is their ability to give you a smoother ride without sacrificing liveliness or turnability.

Also, consider your bindings. Often, a plate, which is part of the binding system, reduces vibration better than a binding that places your ski boot directly on the ski.

Ski design is another factor. Superwide, fully rockered skis (over 100mm in the waist) shine in soft powder but rattle your fillings on the hardpack.

Skis with some metal in them—usually an alloy called Titanal—make skis feel a little heavier carrying them from the car to the chairlift but lessen the bumps and jolts on the slopes.

Pay attention to your ski boots. If your boots are too loose or too soft, you’ll have less control in general and

less faith in your ability to stay upright as your speed increases. When your boots are buckled, it’s okay to have room around your toes, but your heels and ankles should be held snugly.

When you flex forward into the tongues of your boots, they should move a little forward but not collapse. If your ski boots are too soft, your balance and ability to steer will be compromised.

More on that below.

Finally, tune ’em up! Sharp, smooth edges allow your skis to grip on firm skiing surfaces. Waxed bases provide better glide. Tuned skis naturally travel faster over the snow, but more importantly, it becomes easier to initiate and release your turns. Have your skis tuned if the edges feel dull or burred, or the ski bases have gouges or look dry.

TECHNIQUE Skiing at a faster pace requires carving rather than skidding your turns. Carved turns leave arcing railroad tracks in the snow. Skidded turns simply swish the snow around. Carving gives you control and power as your speed increases.

5 TIP: Mid transition, I'm over both skis. Though my skis look flat in this photo, it's only for a split second as I roll my edges from one turn to the next.

WRONG! In this photo, the skier's shins are not against the boot tongues. He's sitting back, which always feels a little scary as your speed picks up.

6 TIP: As I start the new turn, my hips and torso move forward and down the hill toward the new turn, which helps engage the tips of my skis early. You need tip pressure at the start of the turn to carve through it.

56

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

Skidding sets off your internal speed alarm, forcing you to ski slowly.

To carve your turns, the most important thing to remember is that skiing is dynamic, not static. Instead of holding a single body position, you should move through the phases of a turn. The transition between turns is also important, and if you do it right, you’ll find your turns are connected and that they create a flow down the mountain rather than an abrupt, slower change of direction. Here’s how to do it: 1. Keep your feet at least hip-width apart. Your stance is the foundation of your skiing. In a basic skiing stance on flat terrain, there should be about six inches between your ski boots, similar to how you stand in your street shoes.

As the terrain gets steeper and your turns get faster and wider in radii, your feet move farther apart, more vertically than horizontally, as each turn progresses.

2. Keep your shins against the tongues of your boots 100 percent of the time.

If you feel your shins against your boot tongues, you’re likely centered over your skis. Your weight should be over the balls of your feet, not your heels. As soon as your shins leave your boot tongues, you’re effectively sitting back, an unstable position. The pressure against your boot tongues varies depending on where you are in the arc of the turn and how aggressive the turn is, but some pressure should always be on them.

3. Flex your ankles. While your knees should be bent and your joints should feel supple, don’t tell yourself to bend your knees. Instead, flex your ankles! If your ankles are absorbing variations in terrain, your knees automatically bend, and the rest of you moves more athletically. At the beginning of a turn, your ankles should always flex forward enough to keep your shins against your boot tongues. As a turn progresses, your ankle flex increases. The quicker the turns, the more aggressively

your ankles flex.

W IN TER 2017/2018 • HERE IN HANOVER

57

7 TIP: About a third of the way through the turn, as my skis enter the fall line (start to head directly down the hill), I'm flexing into the front of my boots as my weight goes to my outside ski.

8 TIP: As my skis continue to carve through the middle of the turn, I'm balanced on the outside ski, with my ankles flexing forward. I look down the hill, already planning my next turn.

58

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

WRONG! This skier's shins are not against her boot tongues, and her hands are low, so she's sitting back. Also, she keeps her feet tight together no matter what part of the turn she's in, which makes it hard to roll them on edge and grip.

4. Move your body mass toward the new turn. To start a turn, your weight must be forward, creating pressure on the tips of your skis. The tips engage first, and then the rest of the skis follow. You need to trust gravity and move your body toward the belly of the new turn, normally about 45 degrees to the fall line (the path a snowball takes when it rolls down the slope).

Your skis naturally seek the new turn if you combine early tip pressure and moving your mass down the hill into the new turn.

5. Steer your skis. After your ski tips engage, you need to roll your skis on edge more and more, and steer your skis to make them carve around an arc. Press against the inside corner of the boot tongue of your outside ski boot and along the arch and metatarsal area of your outside foot. The inside ski matches the increasing edge-angle you create with the outside ski. If you do it correctly, another skier standing down the slope should see the bases of your skis more and more as a turn progresses.

6. Keep your weight on the outside ski. Though there are times when the inside ski gets weight, in general, you want all of your weight on the outside ski. If you concentrate your weight on the outside ski, your skis will stay on edge, and the edges will grip, giving you control even at faster speeds. That said, the inside ski is not inactive. You have to direct it, keeping it under you (not too far forward) and matching its edge angle to the outside ski so it’s available if you need it.

7. Lean down the hill more and more through the second half of the turn. Perhaps the least intuitive part of skiing is leaning down the slope during the second half of the turn. Commonly referred to as “angulation” or “upper and lower body separation,” leaning down the hill puts your weight, and thus more pressure, over the downhill ski. It also allows the higher edgeangles required for higher performance turns. Leaning down the hill is certainly a key to faster skiing on the groomers, but it’s also the crux of what W IN TER 2017/2018 • HERE IN HANOVER

59

makes a big-mountain skier able to handle a 45-degree headwall. As you pass the midpoint of the turn, you should feel your hip and rib cage get closer over your outside ski.

8. Plant your pole at the end of the turn. The pole plant is the cue to start the next turn. It helps recenter you between turns and gives your skiing rhythm. Don’t flick your pole toward your ski tips! A correct pole plant happens about halfway between your bindings and your ski tips. Touch the tip of your pole down the hill, not forward. The steeper the slope, the farther you need to reach down the hill.

9. Keep your hands forward.

When not planting a pole, your hands should be level with your belly button and slightly wider than your hips. Your elbows should be slightly bent and not touching your sides, and your wrists should be cocked back so your ski pole tips don’t drag. Like the rest of your body, your hands should not be fixed stiffly in one position. They move within a range as you plant your poles from turn to turn. The key is preventing them from dropping by your hips or moving around wildly.

And if you lose your balance, fighting to get your hands forward gives you the best chance of a recovery.

Racers want to ski faster on purpose, but skiing faster is also part of skiing better, no matter where you ski. Instead of fighting gravity, expert skiers embrace it. You can too if you keep these concepts in mind. H

ince opening in December 2016, Ramblers Way has been a welcome addition to downtown Hanover’s Main Street, offering classically stylish clothing for men and women sourced and produced in a sustainable, ethical way.

Ramblers Way cofounder Tom Chappell has had a lifelong philosophy of sustainability and stewardship.

He and his wife Kate also founded Tom’s of Maine in 1970, a company offering personal-care products that use only natural ingredients. The Kennebunk, Maine-based business, which was sold to Colgate in 2006, was built on principles that have been part of Tom’s nature since he was in his youth: caring for nature and living in harmony with it responsibly. The same principles are behind the concept of Ramblers Way. For Tom, who is also the author of several books on sustainable and ethical business practices, caring for the environment, doing good, and creating a quality product go hand in hand.

A MISSION-DRIVEN COMPANY The mission of Ramblers Way is to create stylish, classic, quality clothing that consumers will want to wear year

after year, while staying true to core values: the respectful use of natural resources, the humane treatment of animals, and supporting the community. How this happens, says Tom, emanates from the top. “Sustainability in business starts with a belief system, in writing, for everyone in the company, so they know we believe that people and nature have an inherent worth and deserve our respect. So, when you state that, and with the mission that our products be innovative and effective by using WINTER 2017/2018 • HERE IN HANOVER

natural ingredients, that drives your research and development to find natural rather than synthetic solutions.”

What sets Ramblers Way apart from other clothing lines is that the company offers responsibly sourced sustainable clothing that is made in America. Its Pima cotton items are made from all-natural fibers sustainably grown in California’s San Joaquin Valley, using pesticidefree and low-water growing methods. Much of Ramblers Way’s signature clothing is made from Rambouillet Merino wool, which comes from Rambouillet sheep, an American breed and cousin of the Merino.

Besides being high quality, the wool used in many Ramblers Way products, sourced in the US and abroad, is organic, closely following the Chappells’ values, which include minimizing negative impacts on nature and humanely caring for animals. The company’s mission of providing high-quality organic wool garments emerged from the Chappells’ experiences in organic agriculture, including raising sheep at their organic farm in Maine.

HIGH STANDARDS, HIGH QUALITY Ramblers Way is the first and only American woolclothing manufacturer to hold a certification called Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), a rigorous environmental and social standard that uses independent bodies to verify compliance at each step of production, from where it is purchased to where it is made.

Ramblers Way is in the process of receiving a second certification called Cradle to Cradle (C2C), which will make it the only wool-clothing company in the world to have products with this designation. C2C looks at a product through five quality categories—material health, material re-utilization, renewable energy and carbon management, water stewardship, and social fairness, and then rates it on a scale as to how it conforms with these principles.

Another commitment Tom has made in forming Ramblers Way is for the products to be made and sourced in America whenever possible. Tom, who is from Uxbridge, Massachusetts, and grew up with family members working

“Communities stay strong and vibrant when the economy is flourishing and people have jobs; we saw that throughout New England with the demise of the mills, which were the backbone of the community,” says Tom. “Producing locally is also good for the environment, making less of an impact and using fewer natural resources.”

While the clothing and accessories at Ramblers Way are made sustainably and responsibly, they are created with a focus on quality, style, and functionality. “Our designers are intentional about fashion, but we also offer very high utility,” says Tom. “Our garments can be worn time and time again because they are durable and useful, but also stylish.”

RETURNING TO THEIR ROOTS Ramblers Way management chose to expand its presence into Hanover because the company looks for communities where there are people with shared values, a strong opportunity for market success, and where they feel they can make a positive impact. The Upper Valley is also part of Tom’s roots—when he was young he lived in Hartford, Vermont, where WINTER 2017/2018 • HERE IN HANOVER

his father was employed at a mill, and worshipped with his family at the Episcopal Church in Hanover.

Hanover has been an excellent fit for Ramblers Way, whose target customer is someone who shares their core values: protecting the planet, building community, and conducting business successfully and responsibly while doing good. They choose to wear Ramblers Way clothing not only for its high quality and comfort but also because of how and where it is made and the values that are sewn into every garment.

Besides the Hanover store, Ramblers Way also has locations in Kennebunk, Maine, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with plans to open stores soon in Greenwich, Connecticut; Portland, Maine; and Cambridge, Massachusetts.

When asked about further expansion plans, Tom says, “Our roots are in New England and we anticipate expanding throughout the region, but we are also looking at more urban markets across the country where people appreciate our values as well as our style.� H Ramblers Way 37 South Main Street, Suite 101 Hanover, NH (603) 410-5595 www.ramblersway.com

SAVE YOUR MEMORIES— AND SHARE THEM Two years ago, with little fanfare, the Picaboo logo appeared on the front of the iconic Rosey Jekes building in downtown Hanover, coaxing our small college town into a new era. Now when bemused Dartmouth alumni walk up that ornate central staircase looking for the former clothing store, they find instead that they have stumbled upon the headquarters of a transplanted Silicon Valley company.

WINTER 2017/2018 • HERE IN HANOVER

73

It all began when two college friends, Howard Field and Kevin McCurdy, conceived the idea for Picaboo while on the Stanford Golf Course. It was 2002; photos were starting to go online, and the friends realized that people needed a better way to organize, preserve, and share their important memories. They decided to create software for making online photo albums, and with the help of Silicon Valley investors, they launched their first version of the Picaboo photo album software in 2005.

They soon found that customers wanted to have printed copies of their online photo books. Using the highest quality digital on-demand printing, the company soon added photo cards, calendars, canvas prints, and phone cases to their list of products.

PRINTING YEARBOOKS Around the time the company surpassed the milestone of one million customers in 2012, Picaboo launched Picaboo Yearbooks, which is run by Kevin McCurdy’s brother-in-law and business partner Bill Miles. Picaboo Yearbooks prints on-demand highquality volumes for high schools, including Hanover High’s INDE yearbook and Pen of Iron art and literary magazine. Printing on demand is key for smaller organizations. The schools don’t need to carry inventory or order books in advance that they cannot sell.

When customers want a copy of a yearbook, they simply order it on the school’s website, and Picaboo prints another copy.

Jess Eakin, Hanover High School librarian and an advisor for the INDE yearbook, has only positive comments about their first experience using Picaboo for the 2016–2017 school year.

“It’s so nice having them available in our backyard for questions,” she says.

“Unlike other yearbook companies, the costs and processes are all transparent. For the first time, we even made money!”

This advantage of having Picaboo headquarters and Picaboo Yearbooks “in our backyard” came about because both Kevin and Bill have family ties in the Upper Valley. They decided to move here in 2015. The office in Hanover houses senior management, marketing, and several customer service representatives. The primary digital-printing facilities are in Rochester, New York, and the software development division is in Boise, Idaho.

Last holiday season, 20 charities were piloted for Cards for Causes. This year the program supports 150 charities. The goal is to serve 1,000 charities next year.

HELPING LOCAL CHARITIES After growing and relocating, Picaboo wanted to deepen its commitment to the community and to charitable causes, and Brian Grady, director of sales and marketing, had an idea. In 2016, Picaboo introduced its Cards for Causes initiative. The program features 5x7 holiday and special-occasion cards (such as graduation, birth, and wedding announcements).

Each charitable partner has its own landing page at www.picaboo .com/cards-for-causes/ with a tutorial video on how to customize the cards.

The charities can direct supporters to their pages by providing them with a link. The back of each card features the charitable organization’s logo, mission statement, and sometimes related images. The supporting customer owns the real estate on the front of the card and edits it by adding personal photos, text, and other design choices, or “stickers,” that fit the occasion.

Customers get 50 percent off their card order when they use the promo code CARDSFORCAUSES, and their selected charity gets 50 percent of the proceeds of all sales. Some charitable

CARDS FOR CAUSES Picaboo has partnered with 150 local nonprofit organizations this year to create truly unique custom photo holiday cards.

organizations are even using the service for their own internal holiday and thank-you cards.

A 50 percent match is unusually high for a charitable giving program, according to Ellie Mudge, Picaboo’s marketing manager, and as a result, the program is growing rapidly. Last holiday season, 20 charities were piloted for Cards for Causes. This year the program supports 150 charities, including the following from the Upper Valley: David’s House, Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center, Grassroots Soccer, Positive Tracks, The Family Place, The Upper Valley Haven, and WISE. Smaller-to-medium-sized charities are also signing on from all over the country and from Canada.

Any organization that has a 501(c)(3) designation can sign up for Cards for Causes by contacting cardsforcauses@ picaboo.com.

One smaller charity in California, the Young Survival Coalition, raised money as a cycling team for cancer survivors. They put together a template at Picaboo to help them create a 78

thank-you card for donors. Because they used Cards for Causes, the purchase of these cards ended up supporting the organization as well.

“We hope to get the word out that this is an opportunity to give back to the causes that you are passionate about,” says Brian. He adds that their goal is to serve 1,000 charities next year. This year, they are working to be as supportive as possible to all of their current partners in order to help them promote their holiday cards. For example, a charity might market the cards to their donors, their volunteers, and their corporate partners.

CREATE A THOUGHTFUL GIFT Although the company is excited about its Cards for Causes initiative, Picaboo’s photo albums and calendars are also very popular around the holidays as gifts. Some people feel like they don’t have time to make a photo book during this busy time of the year, but Brian says, “It doesn’t need to be a huge project. We have tools in the software that do all the work for WINTER 2017/2018 • HERE IN HANOVER

79

you—such as preset layouts and autofill options—to make creating a photo book very easy.”

Another tip for customers from Brian is to get the free Picaboo app at the App Store on their iPhones.

The app allows people to source pictures directly from their phones into a photo project. Customers should first create and name their projects on the Picaboo website, then go to the app on their phones. The name of the project will come up on the phone app. Once they put photos into the app, they can go back to the computer to find the photos and create the album.

Orders for albums, canvas items, and calendars are usually shipped within one week or can be expedited.

Brian notes, “The number of pictures people are taking has exploded in recent years, but most people are not doing anything with all the great moments they’ve captured. When someone flips through one of these photo books, it makes a powerful impression and a powerful memory.”

Using Picaboo allows customers to pick the very best shots from the many pictures that they take, preserving the most precious of their memories in a neatly organized book, calendar, or card format with 21st century quality digital printing—and whether you need one copy or 200, they’ve got you covered.

The 30-Minute

NOSE JOB Not for everyone, but a good alternative to rhinoplasty In the past, if you didn’t like the way your nose looked, the only way to change it was through surgery, a procedure that’s expensive, invasive, sometimes painful, and requires several weeks of healing. Now, “for many patients interested in improving the aesthetics of their nose, there is an interesting and popular alternative to surgical rhinoplasty. It’s an alternative, not a replacement,” says Dr. Berger, founder of the Rejuvalife Vitality Center in Beverly Hills, “and the results are immediate.” As with all cosmetic procedures, he adds, “The patient has to have reasonable expectations.”

With the nonsurgical alternative, “there’s no dressing, no bandage, no nothing.

You’re good to go. It’s not for everyone. If you want a total re-engineering of the anatomy and appearance of the nose, it’s not for you.

But it’s an excellent alternative.”

WHO CAN BENEFIT? Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is performed by injecting filler materials to reshape, smooth, contour, and camouflage some of the things people are concerned about, Dr. Berger says, such as a bump on the nose.

For those looking for a straighter nose, this procedure will help. “If they have a bump, that bump is usually where the bone ends and the soft tissue begins. If you go north of that bump, to between the eyes, that’s where the filling occurs to reshape the nose, creating a straighter-appearing nose.”

Some patients have asymmetric noses, where one side is a little fuller than the other, perhaps in some cases due to anatomical irregularities such as a deviated septum, which creates the impression of a crooked nose, Dr. Berger says. “You can reduce that impression by using the filler to

One challenge is the tip of the nose, Dr. Berger says. If someone’s just worried about the tip, this isn’t the best solution.

If they’re worried about the rest of the nose—the bump, the curved nose, the nose that’s too narrow, the nose that’s asymmetrical—this can be an amazing opportunity for an alternative treatment to traditional surgical rhinoplasty.

build up one side of the nose to match the other, making them more symmetrical,” he says. The fillers correct asymmetries and camouflage defects, which previously could only be done with a surgical correction.

One challenge is the tip of the nose, Dr. Berger says. “A lot of people don’t like their tip. It’s either too big or too pointy or it’s not what they like. But the tip is challenging to fix with a filler because it doesn’t have a lot of collateral blood vessels to nourish it. If you inject into the tip, you have a higher risk of blocking off the nourishing blood supply to that tissue. In most cases, the tip should be treated with much more caution. If someone’s just worried about the tip, this isn’t the best solution. If they’re worried about the rest of the nose—the bump, the curved nose, the nose that’s too narrow, the nose that’s asymmetrical—this can be an amazing opportunity for an alternative treatment to traditional surgical rhinoplasty,” he explains. Demand for the procedure, which is relatively new, is increasing as people learn about it.

HOW IT WORKS The procedure is quick—30 minutes and you’re out. The nose is numbed and filler material is injected into the nose and molded for the desired effect. It’s not as permanent as surgical rhinoplasty, but it’s far less expensive, less risky, and there’s little discomfort or downtime. “It’s a safe procedure with immediate gratification,” Dr. Berger says.

How long it lasts depends on the type of filler that’s injected. You’re not dealing with a large space, he says, so you can’t use fillers that are too volumizing.

It’s a delicate, precise procedure that requires the appropriate filler. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm are often used, and the effects last between 6 and 12 months. Bellafill, which is a longer-lasting solution, could last three to five years.

“And then there’s fat,” Dr. Berger says, “and nano-fat is the best fat to use for the nose because it’s specially processed tissue that is emulsified fat taken from a small 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

amount of liposuction. It’s processed to create a rich, regenerative fat that stimulates tissue. It’s fat transfer but with highly enriched cellular components. It’s a newer technique that we use in a lot of different areas for more superficial types of correction and rejuvenation, but the nose is a good candidate.

Threading can also be used for volumizing and for some lifting, especially lifting the tip. Threads are inserted underneath the skin of the nose, and they stimulate collagen production and create a subtle lifting effect.”

Bruising and swelling are possible and minimal, dissipating quickly.

THE ADVANTAGES With surgical rhinoplasty, recovery is longer. Patients have to wear a splint and dressing for a week or more and a protective bandage for a while longer. With the nonsurgical alternative, “there’s no dressing, no bandage, no nothing. You’re good to go. It’s not for everyone. If you want a total re-engineering of the anatomy and appearance of the nose, it’s not for you. But it’s an excellent alternative.”

It also requires a lot of skill and finesse, and providers need to know what they’re doing, cautions Dr. Berger. Costs vary depending on material and the time and skill of the person doing the procedure.

Average prices range between $1,000 and $2,500, he estimates.

Patients love it, Dr. Berger says. “They can’t even believe it. They get instant gratification.” If they don’t like it, it can be reversed. “You can’t take back the surgery.” H

Christmas Eve A Feast of Fishes for

A

Start a new tradition this holiday season

long-held tradition, seafood on Christmas Eve is a favorite in coastal communities around the world. From Sicily to the fjords of Norway to the Gulf of Maine, you’ll find the riches of the sea on holiday tables. Italians serve the well-loved feast of the seven fishes. Scandinavia is famous for its julbord. Although not strictly piscatorial, the julbord is dominated by salmon, and herring takes a close second on this gorgeous holiday spread. On this side of the Atlantic, those of us who grew up close to New England’s coastline have delicious Christmas Eve memories of humble fish chowder and luxurious oyster stew.

S M A RT C O O K I N G A few years ago, I brought the seafood feast back to my family’s Christmas Eve table. Unlike the ladies of Buzzards Bay, Palermo, and Stockholm, I didn’t worry about authenticity and set only two criteria for the menu: It had to be delicious, and it couldn’t take weeks to prepare. Lucky me—my two 20-something nieces were delighted to jump into the fray and act as sous-chefs. With nods to our Scandinavian roots, the girls’ pancake addiction, and my love of all things Italian, our menu shamelessly stole from the North and South alike.

We started with salmon to honor our Swedish heritage. That begged the question of what goes better with smoked salmon than blinis and caviar. Unless a Viking ship went astray at some point, we have no Russian ancestors, but that’s okay. We weren’t driving for a reenactment of an ancient familial feast.

Crowding into the kitchen, a jolly party of family and friends sipped prosecco and nibbled delicate pancakes topped with smoked salmon and caviar. Amidst the chatter and holiday cheer, Emily flipped the blinis while Kaela made the vinaigrette and chopped veggies for the salad.

As the last of the blinis were about to disappear, the cooks switched gears and began sautéing rice and marinating shrimp. Dinner would start with the aforementioned salad, a hearty, healthy combination of kale and radicchio. Why? That’s simple—radicchio is Italian and kale is cool. Next, roasted garlicky shrimp rested on a perfect bed of lemony spinach risotto. The girls took turns stirring the risotto until it was time to toss the salad and move to the table.

For dessert, first thing in the morning while the girls slept in, I baked a wonderful flourless chocolate cake. A favorite in bakeries and restaurants across America, this decadent confection has its origins on the Isle of Capri.

After dinner, everyone took a breather while the girls cleared the table and I filled the dishwasher. When all were ready, we served the cake with handfuls of raspberries and dollops of freshly whipped cream.

Hodgepodge or eclectic? I’ll let you decide.

God Jul, Schastlivogo Rozhdestva, Buon Natale, and Merry Christmas to all!

H A N OV E R TA L K S BY

Mike Morin Dr. Joe Corriveau, US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory Director, discusses light detection and ranging projects in the Arctic and subarctic with US Army Corps of Engineers Remote Sensing/GIS Center Director Dave Finnegan. Dave explained details of a specialized remote monitoring station designed, fabricated, and tested at CRREL for use at Hubbard Glacier, Alaska. CRREL and the Corps of Engineers collaborated with the US Forest Service and the state of Alaska to produce the system, which provides near real-time monitoring of the glacier’s terminus position and replaces an existing station operating since 2006.

A visit with

Joseph L. Corriveau

Director of Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) Your distinguished career has taken you to many government research positions. Which challenges excite you most about becoming the director of CRREL? For years I have admired CRREL as a national resource for cold-regions science and engineering. Indeed, CRREL is the only federal laboratory that focuses on Arctic and cold-regions’ research and engineering challenges. And the laboratory is internationally recognized as a center of excellence for coldregions’ science and engineering. As described in our nation’s recently released Arctic Research Plan, the Arctic environment is undergoing rapid transitions that have implications for marine and terrestrial ecosystems, economic development, and national security. I believe that CRREL will play a critical role in our nation’s efforts to understand and provide solutions for challenges that arise from the changing Arctic environment.

What are a couple of real-world applications resulting from CRREL research projects?

CRREL has a rich history of scientific and engineering achievements. A good historical example is the development and implementation of ice-core drilling technology to obtain glacial core samples. During the 1960s, the CRREL team used this technology in Greenland to obtain a 4,550-foot-long glacial core sample that represented 120,000 years of climate history.

A half-century later, CRREL continues to provide scientific and engineering solutions for cold-region challenges. Earlier this year, for example, CRREL provided critical support to the National Science Foundation’s Antarctic Program with the novel design and construction on compacted snow of the Phoenix runway in Antarctica that can support C-17 heavytransport aircraft.

Help us understand CRREL’s mission in layman’s terms.

Broadly speaking, through the integrated efforts of a diverse team of scientists, engineers, and technicians, our mission is to make the world safer and better. On any given day, much of the team is focused on solving scientific and engineering challenges in cold and complex environments, but we leverage our core competencies to provide solutions for a variety of other national security and civil works challenges as well.

For example, we provide expertise ranging from support to the National Wetland Plant List program to managing the National Levee Database for the Levee Safety Program.

Now that you’ve returned to New England, which outdoor cold-climate activities do you enjoy in your downtime?

I am actually a native of New Hampshire and grew up enjoying skiing, skating, and ice fishing. I live less than a mile from Mount Sunapee, so I’ll be hitting the slopes, no doubt. Meanwhile, I have been enjoying hiking in local areas such as Mink Brook in Hanover and the PhilbrickCricenti Bog in New London. I also got up to the White Mountains this summer and hiked the Franconia Ridge Loop with my family. It is wonderful to be back in New Hampshire. H

CRREL is one of seven laboratories that make up the Engineer Research and Development Center of the US Army Corps of Engineers. www.erdc.usace. army.mil/crrel.
