Big Plans for the Libby Museum This Season

By Mark Foynes She traveled the globe as a member of the U.K.’s diplomatic corps; now Wolfeboro native Alana Albee is in the midst of the ultimate homecoming as she works to advance the century-old vision of a local philanthropist who sought to inspire and educate folks of all ages about the wonders of the natural world.

Albee, a dual U.S.-British citizen, was named the new director of the Libby Museum in Wolfeboro last summer.

She’d recently retired after 35 years in Her Majesty’s foreign service, toiling in far-flung locales like Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam.

Having traversed the planet over the past three-and-a-half decades, Albee is now at the helm of a museum she remembers visiting as an elementary student at the local Carpenter School.

“The Libby is really something of a museum of museums,” Albee observed, noting that she recalls several of the current displays as having been in place when she was a child.

She added that there is something of a balancing act involved in managing such a museum. On one hand, there’s the expectation that folks can come back after years to revisit some of their old favorites to share with children and even grandchildren. Conversely, Albee said there is also a vital need to provide new public offerings to help encourage return visitation.

Albee added that the museum is able

Exhibit cases full of fascinating specimens. (Photo by Dana Curran) to accomplish this by maintaining its permanent displays, while supplementing them with public programs and short-term exhibits of loaned materials.

“We always want to keep things fresh and new, but I think we’d get an earful if we removed some of the things people expect to see,” Albee noted. She cited the popular and relatively new moose skeleton, the Abenaki dugout canoes, and a display of four bi-ped skeletons representing various stages of human evolution.

“Where else in Wolfeboro can you see a human skeleton?” she challenged. (For someone with more than one skeleton in her closet, Albee is remarkably forthright on the matter).

That said, there will be plenty of new things to see and do - as promised by the new director as she opened the museum for her second season.

Supplementing the permanent display will be a pair of temporary exhibits, mounted in tandem. Both will feature the works of local artists.

“It’s a way to both serve the visitors and provide a stage for local people who are doing some remarkably creative things,” Albee said.

Among the Libby’s new offerings in 2018 is its current photography exhibit featuring the work of Amy Piper.

Having owned and managed Signature Events for nearly two decades, Piper has developed a preternaturally-refined attention to detail - a trait that translates

to her photography when selecting subject matter, framing composition, and obtaining perspective.

“She has a way of capturing nature which is just wonderful, and I hope lots of people come by to see her beautiful photographs,” Albee said.

Piper’s display is now on view and will be on exhibit through the end of July. The show will be succeeded by an exhibit featuring nature-inspired works rendered by Lakes Region members of the Women’s Caucus for Art, New Hampshire. This is the local chapter of a national organization that, according to its website, “promotes the advancement of women in the visual arts through educational programs, networking, and exhibition opportunities.”

“The natural world is fascinating in and of itself,” Albee said. “But it’s equally fascinating to see that beauty through the creative interpretive lens of an artist.”

Albee added, “I’ll be sad to see Amy’s photos leave (the exhibit runs until July 31), but that’s balanced with a sense of excitement about what’ll come next.”

Additionally, acclaimed model boat builder David Warren of Tuftonboro will be unveiling a donated replica of a steamboat that belonged to museum founder Dr. Henry Forrest Libby. Albee said the museum is planning to host a reception to mark the event, which is slated for August.

• Libby Continued from page 3 “We are really excited to have David involved - he is meticulous when it comes to getting every detail just right,” Albee said. “This is a pretty big deal for us as it’s a great way to commemorate our founder.” She added that Dr. Libby was the onetime owner of Rattlesnake Island and wasjust about as passionate about the lake as he was about natural history.

David Warren has built replica scale boat models that are currently on display at the N.H. Boat Museum and the Wright Museum of WWII. In a previous conversation, Warren estimated that he spent upwards of 800 hours constructing a WWII vessel

Museum.

To be sure, there will be plenty to see at the Libby Museum - the old favorites and several new enhancements. There will also be plenty to do - especially for the younger set.

The perennially-popular Lil’ Sprouts program returns next month and continues into early August. Geared toward youth aged five to eight, the program uses the museum’s displays and adjacent nature trails as a platform from which museum-trained educators help young people unlock their innate curiosity about the world around them.

“At that age, they are filled with wonder, so we just tap right into that,” Albee said.

That was about the age that Albee visited the museum with her class from Carpenter School. “I still remember the bears,” she said. “Even if I hadn’t come to work here, I think I’d always have a warm spot in my heart for this place - it really is special.”

Lil’ Sprouts camp-like activities draw inspiration from the works of Dr. Seuss, forging a vital link between the literary and the natural worlds. The Libby’s website notes, “Through his lyrical lense, we’ll discover the wonders of nature and delight in characters such as Yertile the Turtle, the Lorax, and Gertrude McFuzz, who remind us to be kind, [be] proud of our unique

qualities, and [respect our] beautiful environment.”

Lil’ Sprouts session titles include, “OH, the Places We’ll Go!!,” “If we ran the ZOO!!,” and “Lessons from the LORAX.” Registrants are encouraged to “dress for messy fun.” The cost is $15 per child per day. Parents may select specific sessions a la carte or sign up for the entire series. With the exception of the first week, which coincides with the Independence Day holiday, sessions in the six-week series are held weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from July through early August.

There will also be a weeklong workshop for older kids, aged 1114. Focused on wilderness training, it will run from July 2 to 7. The fiveday camp-style program will introduce participants to pocket knife use and safety, tree identification, and best practices on how to prepare, start, and manage a campfire.

As part of its outreach to the broader community. the museum will also be presenting free live animal shows from July 11 through August 15. The six-part series, sponsored by the Friends of the Libby Museum, will feature native and exotic species curated by the Granite State’s own Wildlife Encounters. The nonprofit has presented at venues, including Canobie Lake, First Night Wolfeboro, and numerous classrooms around the state. Among the specimens that staffers have been known to bring include an anaconda, an Arctic fox, and even a dainty little hedgehog.

“Museums are best when they foster experiences,” Albee said.

From an organizational standpoint, Albee said that continuing the work of founder Dr. Henry Forrest Libby (1850-1933) will be her primary focus.

At present, the museum’s collection of taxidermied animal specimens and Native American artifacts are housed in the original 1912 building, which is

• Libby Continued from page 4 without climate control.

“With a museum, safeguarding the collection is key,” she said. (We talked with Albee on a day when the environmental humidity level was hovering around 80%. “Soupy” and “sticky” are words that come to mind when describing such conditions. Not comfy for humans - but downright dangerous for museum collections.)

When ambient conditions are such, they foster mold growth. Additionally, humidity causes organic objects to swell - only to contract during drier times.

This kind of conditional oscillation can cause cracking and result in other stressors on sensitive objects.

“It’s a valuable collection, and it is

our duty to take as best care of it as we can,” Albee stressed.

Mitigating these risks and ensuring a collection’s preservation involve the kind of tasks that museum staffers do behind the scenes. Recognizing the importance of such work, Albee has taken the moose by the horns, so to speak. Several of the shopworn exhibit cases have recently been replaced, and officials affiliated with the town-owned museum are in the midst of a feasibility study that will analyze various options for climate control.

While this work is of vital importance, it is also imperative that the museum advance its educational mission by increasing access through rigorous outreach.

“We preserve Dr. Libby’s collection so we can share them with as many people as possible,” Albee said.

To this end, a new museum initiative involves a collaboration among several other historical destinations in town. The “Museum Loop by Boat and Trolley” begins at the Wolfeboro Town Docks each Friday at 9:30 am during the months of July and August. Participants will board the Boat Museum’s Millie B, a 28-foot, mahogany 1928 Hacker-Craft replica.

After docking at the Libby, folks will have a chance to tour the natural history gallery. Thence they will be transported, via Molly the Trolley to the Clark House Museum, the Wright Museum of WWII, and the N.H. Boat Museum.

“The whole thrust of it really reinforces the idea that Wolfeboro is a museum town,” Albee said.

(This is true: On a per capita basis Wolfeboro may have more museums per resident than any other community in America. Some consider Washington, D.C. to be the leader in this regard. It’s home to 80 museums and has a population of 670,000 - that’s one museum for every 8,375 residents.

However, with its four museums and a population of 6,269, there is one museum for every 1,567 Wolfeboro residents).

“In addition to seeing all of these great museums,” Albee added, “there is also the whole experiential aspect involving getting out on the lake in a classic boat and also seeing the sights on the trolley along the way.”

Looking ahead, Albee urged, “If you haven’t been to the Libby in years, have never been, or came just last year, this is a great time to stop in and see what we have in store.”

She added, “We love having picnickers, and some people make a day of their visit. They tour the museum, pack a lunch, and then walk the nature trails.”

Albee continued, “It’s a great place to visit on a beautiful summer’s day, but the Libby’s also a great place to visit on those rainy days when you can’t get out to enjoy the lake.”

Admission to the Libby Museum is $5, but is free for kids 11 and under, as well as for veterans. Animal show admission is free, with sponsorship support from the Friends of the Libby Museum. Lil’ Sprouts and the wilderness training youth programs are by pre-registration.

Captain Patricia Quinn Trains to Pilot M/S Mount Washington With the advent of warmer weather, summer has begun in the Lakes Region. According to Captain Jim Morash of the M/S Mount Washington, “We had a very busy Memorial Day Weekend despite the cool temperatures and cloudy skies. Many veterans and families took advantage of our special holiday cruise fares. We certainly weren’t the only choice of things to do in the Lakes Region, and we are thankful to those who chose to spend some time with us.

“I couldn’t help but notice the news of the christening of the USS Manchester, under the command of Commander Emily Basset,” Morash adds. “A first for the U.S. Navy. Ironically, on the same weekend, we had our first female pilot in training aboard the M/S Mount Washington. Her name is Patricia Quinn, or I should say Captain Quinn to respect her rank in the U.S. Coast

Patricia Quinn is in training to pilot the M/S Mount Washington, the first woman to do so.

Guard.”

Pat, as she is known to Mount staff, joined the crew in 2014 and has been piloting the smaller vessels Doris E. and Sophie C. during this time.

Morash continues, “As the company’s first female small boat Skipper, she exhibited the skills needed to handle a good-size vessel, so we asked her to begin training this year on the Mount.

It is a club that no woman, as far as I know, has been inducted into. If her performance continues to be as good as her first weekend on the ‘Big Boat,’ I expect it won’t be long before she will be signed off as a Pilot of the Mount,

putting her on a path to become the first female captain in the history of the company. That is a day I very much look forward to.”

The M/S Mount Washington’s official season runs from May 18 through October 19. Daily cruises depart from Weirs Beach and service the ports of Meredith, Wolfeboro, Center Harbor and Alton Bay. With a capacity of 1,250 passengers, the Mount Washington serves as the largest seasonal restaurant in the state and a popular gathering point for school proms, college reunions, large corporate celebrations and weddings.

The 146-year history of the popular cruise ship began with the Mount Washington I, which plied the water of the big lake until 1939. Today’s vessel, the motor ship Mount Washington, started her career on Vermont’s Lake Champlain under the name Chateauguay. Purchased by the Winnipesaukee Steamship Company in 1940, the ship was transported in 20 sections via rail, reassembled, re-outfitted, and christened the Mount Washington II. Once just a summer attraction, the Mount Washington now offers spring to autumn daytime scenic, evening dinner and dance, and special themed cruises.

Was barbershop harmony actually sung in barbershops? Certainly, and on street corners (it was sometimes called “curbstone” harmony) and at social functions and in parlors. Its roots are not just in the Middle-America of Norman Rockwell’s famous painting.

Barbershop is also a “melting pot” product of African-American immigrants who came to the new world and brought with them a musical repertoire that included hymns, psalms, and folk songs. These simple songs were often sung in four parts with the melody set in the second-lowest voice.

The “barbershop” style of music is first

associated with black southern quartets of the 1870s, such as The American Four and The Hamtown Students.

The African influence is particularly notable in the improvisational nature of the harmonization, and the flexing of melody to produce harmonies in “swipes” and “snakes.” Black quartets were commonplace at places like Joe Sarpy’s Cut Rate Shaving Parlor in St. Louis, or in Jacksonville, Florida, where, black historian James Weldon Johnson writes, “every barbershop seemed to have its own quartet.”

The first written use of the word “barbershop” when referring to harmonizing came in 1910, with the publication of the song, “Play That Barbershop Chord” evidence that the term was in common parlance by that time.

Great Waters Music Festival is a non-profit organization dedicated to culturally enriching New Hampshire’s Lakes Region.

The festival encompasses a diversified program designed to appeal to a variety of musical tastes. Its purpose is to promote live musical performances including folk, pops, jazz, Broadway, dance, and renowned vocal and instrumental artists.

After 199 Years, Tappan Chairs Find Their Home

By Barbara Neville Wilson It’s a bright summer morning as I turn off Route 25 at the (Moultonborough ) Old Country Store. With its Concord Coach, rooms chockful of souvenirs and gift items, and a second-floor museum of wondrous glimpses of everyday life of yesteryear, it’s an always-fun destination, but it’s not where I’m going today.

I follow Wentworth Hill Road. Past rolling green hills and cozy homes, my altitude keeps rising. I take the final 90-degree turn to see a Greek Revival Home on the knoll. The sight of it always signals “Sandwich” to me. My eyes don’t want to linger there today, though. I cast my gaze ahead, past the clean lines of new granite terracing the Isaac Adams’ Homestead. Even at the top of Wentworth Hill where the Sandwich Mountains and the Squam Range spread across my vision, I don’t pause. I’m rushing. I have an appointment in the Historic District today.

It happens, though, as it always happens. I crest Wentworth Hill and begin to pump the brakes, and suddenly my whole world slows as the car slows.

I float past barns and homes and fields, and coast by the quaint Wentworth Library and the sprawling frame of the Sandwich Home Industries/League of New Hampshire Craftsmen shop. My car is practically creeping by the time I bid hello to The Corner House Inn and look expectantly ahead.

But wait! I realize I don’t know

Tappan Chair-maker, Adam Nudd-Homeyer, posed with several of his heritage designs for Sean Hurley of New Hampshire Public Radio. The chairs have become so popular that Adam is moving his workshop into a new and larger space in Center Sandwich in time for Sandwich’s June 16th Open House event. (Photo courtesy Sean Hurley) exactly what I am looking for. It was Buildings 17 & 18 on the nomination form for the Center Sandwich Historic District in 1983, and Buildings 30 and 31 on the Sandwich Excursion of 1938, but where IS the old Mann Casket Maker shop, the former home of the Endeavour Society, the old General Store, now the new home of Tappan Chairs?

Where is the first-ever freestanding home of Sandwich’s 199-year-old chair-making enterprise?

Ahhh—I see it. Right there. There’s a signboard. Below “Hill Country Books” and “The Cutting Garden,” there’s an arrow pointing left: “Tappan Chairs 100’.” The board looks as old or

older than the others on the sign post.

Quaint letters. Faded paint. But how is that possible? It’s pointing toward a rambling white building where a fresh, stylish sign states, “Opening Mid-June.

Tappan Chairs. Since 1819. Workshop.

Showroom. Museum.”

I pull into the gravel lot just beyond the storefront and before I get out of the car, Adam Nudd-Homeyer is by my car door, greeting me, carrying gear from his own vehicle and apologizing for the mess all in one breath.

I first met Adam in early 2016 for an interview in the unheated barn of his family home. We both shivered as he showed me his workshop, the centuries’ old templates from which he cuts raw, local wood, and the beautifully proportioned, lovingly finished chairs he ships throughout the United States.

Adam was just barely into his fourth year of chair making and was only one of a handful of people outside the Tappan family to ever have accepted stewardship of the Tappan tradition.

Adam told me then that Tappan chairs were introduced in 1819 by Abraham

Tappan, a first settler of Sandwich. The chairs he made and sold from his home were simple ladder backs of maple and ash with woven seats, hand-turned rungs and hand-set slats. Sturdy chairs, they stood the test of time and were passed from generation to generation in Sandwich and surrounding towns, just as the business was handed from generation to generation of the Tappan family in the form of design, template, technique, and even tools.

For more than 120 years, Tappans made and sold chairs from their homes or shared shops. In 1939, Walter Tappan retired and sold the templates and machinery to Al Hoag and Dr. Robert Quinby, who carried on the business until Cy Blumberg returned from service in World War II and bought the business. He made chairs until just before he died in 1964. Like most of the Tappans, Cy did not depend on chair making for his whole living, but instead added it to his retinue of services, which included cabinetmaking, furniture refinishing… and haircutting from the same location.

After Cy died, no one stepped forward to take on chair making, but community-minded resident Charles Gregson recognized the importance of the 150-year-old craft and bought the Tappan templates and some of the machinery at Cy’s estate auction and stored them in his barn, waiting for the right person to come and revive the tradition. Nearly 20 years later, that person - Gunnar Berg - arrived and settled into the ancestral hometown and built chairs. When he changed career paths, he put the Tappan equipment into the care of fellow resident Rich Benton. Like Charles Gregson, Rich simply waited for the next Tappan steward to appear on the scene.

And that steward is Adam Nudd• Tappan Continued on page 14

• Tappan Continued from page 12 Homeyer, the man now ushering me into the site of the first dedicated space Tappan Chairs has had in its 199-year history. We step from a wide side porch into a large open room with soaring ceilings. A historian by avocation, Adam points out the detail of the curved tin ceiling overhead and explains that at one time Undertaker Mann kept caskets on the first floor and rented the well-decorated loft to the Baptist Church.

“This will be the showroom,” he says. With an output of 175 to 200 chairs a year, Adam keeps a stock of sample chairs from which clients choose to create their custom model.

He points to side-by-side coolers left from the space’s last iteration as a general store and tells me, “That’s today’s project.” Before he can bring in his equipment, the coolers must be moved. Adam praises his landlords, one of whom lives in town part-time. They are excited by the project, he says, and they’re putting a lot of work into the building even though it will be some time before they see return on their investment. And Adam? He’s putting in lots of sweat equity, like moving several hundred pound coolers.

If you had asked Adam last June if he would ever open a storefront for Tappan chairs, he would have scoffed.

Adam Nudd-Homeyer shows the way to the new location of his Tappan Chairs.

For the first time in the operation’s 199-year-old history, it will have a dedicated storefront for its workshop, showroom and a Tappan Museum. (Photo courtesy Barbara Wilson) Not more than 12 months ago he said, “I had…given an interview expressing my happiness with the status quo...”

He was making 175 to 200 chairs a year. “We had a good volume and really had no interest in overextending ourselves or getting too big for our britches. But then came the realization that maintaining the volume needed for supporting our family essentially was going to necessitate a 7-day work week in perpetuity for me.”

603.332.3270 www.Coyote-Creek-Outfitters.com 22 Farmington Road, Rochester, NH (Exit 15 off the Spaulding Turnpike/Route 11)

It was a conundrum. Two-hundred chairs a year wasn’t satisfying people’s desire for Tappan Chairs. However, to make more chairs wasn’t feasible if Adam continued working from the family home. His wife and children desired privacy; in spite of being in business, he was reluctant for customers to freely visit his home workshop.

But, by not encouraging customers to come, he was knowingly discouraging potential sales. He liked demonstrating his heritage craft, but the space in his barn was too small and often too cold to accommodate visitors.

Finally, late last summer, Adam began exploring the possibility of moving Tappan Chairs out of his home. Recognizing that Route 25 was the business corridor of the region, he briefly considered building a storefront, but the costs of new construction were prohibitive and a new building for old chairs seemed - somehow - antithetical to the tradition.

Why not site Tappan Chairs in the Center Sandwich Historic District?

The search was on, and not long into

it, he discovered this building that had lain dormant for nearly a decade.

Renovated and reinforced in the early 2000s, it is sturdy enough to support his heavy late 19th-century equipment, open enough to allow visitors to watch the complete chair making process, and it has three distinct sections, perfect for Adam’s dream to house his workshop, showroom and a Tappan Chair Museum under one roof.

A museum? Yes, for Adam sees himself not so much as the chair maker, but as the steward of the Tappan Chair tradition, something bigger than a single craftsman making chairs. “This is a heritage industry,” he says. “Every year that goes by, we’re [Tappan Chairs] just that much more special.”

Although the business has often been a “cult of personality” around the individual chair maker, he sees Tappan Chairs as a corporeal, even spiritual, entity unto itself. The move into the new space seems the appropriate time to start bringing the fledgling into its own. “I eventually want it to be its own foundation that could keep it going even if the spot of artist becomes empty” for a time, a foundation that brings people to Sandwich and gives back to the town that has been its protector for nearly 200 years.

Adam turns back to work. There’s a lot to be done before visitors walk through his doors for the Sandwich Open House on June 16th and the New Hampshire Guild of Woodworkers arrives June 23rd.

Wright Museum to feature “A Company of Heroes” As part of its Lecture Series, the Wright Museum will show the film, “A Company of Heroes,” on Tuesday, June 12. The film features interviews with many of the men not focused on in the book “Band of Brothers,” or in the television miniseries by the same name. The screening will be from 7 to 8 pm at the museum, located at 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro, NH. Filmmaker Tim Gray, a national award-winning director, producer and writer, made “A Company of Heroes” and 20 other documentaries on the personal stories related to World War II. Gray is also the founder of the National World War II Foundation.

“Any American who was 17 years old in 1941 is now 94 years old,” noted

Michael Culver, Wright Museum executive director. “At present, we are losing 1,500 WWII participants per day...consequently, this film is a rare opportunity to hear the stories of men of the 101st Airborne from the heroes themselves.”

The Wright Museum’s Lecture Series, sponsored by Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney, takes place every Tuesday through October.

Seating is limited, and reservations can be made by calling 603-569-1212.

The Wright Museum is open daily through October 31 with hours from 10 am to 4 pm Monday through Saturday, and noon to 4 pm Sunday. For more information about the museum or the Lecture Series, visit www. wrightmuseum.org.

Rani Arbo & daisy dayhem Celebrate Arts Tamworth’s 50th Year June 17th The Arts Council of Tamworth celebrates its 50th anniversary with a Choose-Your-Own Ticket Price concert featuring long-time community favorites Rani Arbo and daisy mayhem on Father’s Day, June 17, at The Preserve at Chocorua. A farm-to-table BBQ fundraiser precedes the show.

Harmony, rhythm, indelible songs – these are the hallmarks of Rani Arbo and daisy Mayhem, the New Englandbased folk quartet. From the Newport Folk Festival to the California World

Music Festival and beyond, this band’s steadfast brew of wit, camaraderie, and musicality leaves audiences everywhere humming and hopeful, spirits renewed.

“They were chosen unanimously as the perfect artists to help us celebrate our half-century,” says Board President Courtney Spalding-Mayer. “They are long-time community favorites, having worked with kids through our residency program at the K.A. Brett School, and they embody our values to help inspire and empower through

art in all its forms. We hope everyone can come celebrate, enjoy the show, and launch us forward for another 50 years!”

Sandwich Industries Offers One-Day Workshop With Artist Kathryn Field The League of NH Craftsmen at the Sandwich Home Industries in downtown Center Sandwich village will offer a day long workshop on how to turn a favorite photo into a watercolor portrait, taught by local painter and sculptor, Kathryn Field.

The workshop, which is geared towards those with intermediate and advanced level watercolor experience, will be offered Saturday, June 30 from 10 am to 4:30 pm.

“We all take digital photos on our smart phones,” Field says. “But the experience of painting a portrait from a photo is a kind of magic. It takes the portrait to a whole new level.

Your relationship to that individual deepens.”

Starting with a favorite highresolution photo, Field will guide workshop participants through a step-by-step demonstration: Creating a drawing grid on which to mark proportions, creating a preliminary sketch and working with watercolors to create a life-like portrait in just one day.

“Kathryn is a great teacher,” says Julie Deak, a Sandwich resident who took the portrait class last year. “She adapts her style to each student’s needs, and makes it easy to understand. Not all teachers can do that.”

Kathryn Field lives in Center Sandwich and exhibits at the Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery in Sandwich and Mill Brook Gallery in Concord, NH. Her paintings and sculptures are included

Kathryn’s portraiture class is the second in a series of creative classes offered this June through October by the Sandwich Home Industries, in Center Sandwich. Weaving, landscape painting, fired glass, felting, dyeing, and jewelry making are some of the other offerings. There is even a course in fly tying!

Courses are appropriate for both teens and adults. Children’s classes are offered in a partnership between Sandwich Home Industries and Sandwich Children’s Center. For more information about the portraiture workshop, and a complete list of courses, instructors, and tuition, go to www.centersandwich.nhcrafts.org.

A founding member of the League of NH Craftsmen, Sandwich Home Industries is located at 32 Main Street, Center Sandwich. Over 170 juried crafts people from all regions of New Hampshire are represented at the gallery. Contact the Sandwich Home Industries gallery at sandwichccraftgallery@gmail.com or call 603-284-6831. The gallery is open daily during the summer season.

Families from all over the country visit each summer to see what’s new and to find something beautiful to take home.

Kathryn Field will offer a watercolor portraiture class at Sandwich Home Industries on June 30.

Off the Beaten (Motorcycle) Path

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper I’m not a motorcycle owner or rider, so what am I doing writing a story about great places for bikers to go while in the area for the 2018 Laconia Race and Rally Week (fondly known as Bike Week)?

Well, I can write this story for a few reasons. One, I have lived here most of my life and I know at least some of the many reasons motorcyclists throng to the Lakes Region during “Bike Week” each year. Two, I have traveled more back roads and visited more fun, weird, unusual and sometimes downright amazing places for Laker day-tripping stories.

You don’t need to necessarily own/ride a motorcycle to find these places, which are a lot of fun to visit; rest assured the places I am writing about can be reached by either car or motorcycle. They make for interesting out-of-the-way treks when bikers are looking to spend a day exploring the hidden parts of the Lakes Region they might otherwise overlook.

The places mentioned here are some of my favorites but they are in no particular order. I happened to discover them on various treks; consult your GPS if you are unsure of routes.

I cannot think of a better place for motorcyclists to visit than the

Newfound Lake area. There are waterfalls and short hiking trails and a lot of scenic beauty. To reach the area, travel Route 104 from Meredith for about 15 miles to the downtown Bristol area. You will see signs for Newfound Lake. Take a left onto West Shore Road and get ready for a fun lakeside ride.

Follow the road as it skirts the lake and then turn right and continue on West Shore Road with signs for Wellington State Park. You can choose to pay an admission to visit Wellington, a NH state park where you will find hiking trails, a great beach with swimming and picnic tables.

Or you can opt to continue on West Shore Road and again skirt Newfound Lake. You will soon come to the “ledges” area, and you will find yourself riding with a towering rock hill on one side of you … and Newfound Lake quite close to you on the other side!

This is a pretty ride taking you by older cottages and lots of lake views.

Eventually the road comes to Hebron Village and you can stop and grab coffee or beverages and snacks at the Hebron Village Store or take in the scenic and tranquil beauty of the village green. The village green and the whitewashed homes and places such as the Hebron Library are the epitome of New England village structures.

One of my favorite off-the-mainroad treks is to Sculptured Rocks Natural Area near Hebron. Just follow the signs in the village area; Sculptured Rocks (part of the NH State Parks

d etts n a s o NH chu r P g sa 1 in s rv Ma 201 e S rn e e tr h inc S No

system) is a short trek down Sculptured Rocks Road. There is plenty of parking across the street from the rocks area.

I never visit Sculptured Rocks without bringing my camera. It’s a very unusual and pretty spot. Rock formations were created thousands of years ago by glaciers. On a hot summer’s day swimmers make their way to this wonderful place to spread blankets on the rocks, relax and cool off in the river water.

If you plan ahead, you can schedule a fascinating ride on the Newfound EcoTour. The tour starts at the Grey Rocks Conservation Area on North Shore Road in Hebron. Gather at the dock area for the tour (call ahead at 603-744-8689 to reserve seats on the boat). The tour is on a large pontoon boat and the guides will offer you a memorable and fun excursion, pointing out the wildlife on Newfound Lake, and also teaching you about the science of the waters.

Head back to Bristol if you want to take a great little hike to find gorgeous views of the area. Take High Street (off Rt. 3A) by the Federated Church. Stay on this road until you come to a right for New Chester Mountain Road; take this road to the entrance and parking area for the Slim Baker Conservation Area. This place is a favorite of many hikers who love to take the various paths and trails. Please park your bike in the parking area and do not take it •Path Continued on page 25

The Slim Baker property offers a number of public-use hiking trails.

From the Worthen Trail, which is just 0.17 miles to the summit to the Stephens Trail to other trails, it is a great, peaceful area. The gem of the property is undoubtedly Inspiration Point with its huge wooden cross, outdoor cathedral and rustic wooden benches. Visit www.slimbaker.org for full information.

Another Newfound-area memorable location is Profile Falls. To reach the area take Rt. 3A south toward Franklin. Profile Falls is just off Rt. 3A a few miles out of Bristol (take a left onto Profile Falls Road) and is a public area with a lot of free parking.

You can take a path for a quick walk to see the beautiful Profile Falls (please be careful on the steep section of the trail as you near the Falls) or bring your lunch and spread out on a picnic table in the shady park area.

You can take Rt. 3 from Hebron to Plymouth; it isn’t a very great distance but it is a pretty country drive. After reaching the Plymouth/Rumney area, go to 131 Quincy Bog Road in Rumney to reach the fascinating Quincy Bog. Where does one begin to describe this wonderful natural area? First, please be respectful of the property and carry out trash. Wildlife abounds at the bog and you are welcome to walk the paths and observe, but please follow the general use guidelines at www. quincybog.org, such as not picking flowers or collecting plants and staying away from any wildlife, among other things to remember. Quincy Bog has a one-mile trail around the bog area that crosses a stream. The trail is mostly flat and boardwalks and bridges cross the majority of the wet areas, but take note: if it’s been raining the trail may be muddy in places. There is also a hiking area called the Quincy Pasture Forest Hiking Trail, on 92 wooded acres.

If you find yourself in the Tilton area, which is easily reached by taking Rt. 3 from Laconia, there is one place you just cannot go home without visiting.

As you approach Tilton from Laconia, high on a hill you will see a huge structure that will leave you thinking that famous Parisian Arch de Triomphe got transported to little Tilton, NH! The good news is that anyone can visit the Arch, and there is free parking.

In downtown Tilton, take a left onto Summer Street. By following this road less than a 1/2 mile, you will see a modest sign directing travelers to take a right up a road to the Tilton Arch.

I’m always excited to see the Memorial Arch of Tilton up close.

There is a parking lot available to cars and other vehicles. A sprawling green lawn leads to the Arch, and it is a great spot for a picnic so plan to take advantage of the park.

Everything about the Tilton Arch and the park is big and breathtaking. The lawns are like rolling green carpets and the wooden benches beckon visitors to sit and take in the view of the mountains surrounding the Tilton area.

As if all this isn’t enough, there is the incredible Arch, which stands like a silent and proud giant. Standing beneath the Arch is an amazing experience. It’s very tall, and it was made with artistic skill to last through the ages. Under the curve of the Arch a huge stone vault sits, and is a puzzle to many.

Is someone entombed in the vault, or is it a symbol, like the many statues that adorn various public areas in Tilton?

History tells the story: although reminiscent of the famous Arch in France, this local monument is in reality the work of the town’s immensely wealthy resident, Charles Tilton.

The Memorial Arch of Tilton, looming about 55 feet in height, is deceptive. It might be assumed that Mr. Tilton commissioned the Tilton Arch to be built as a copy of the Parisian monument. In truth the arch is a replica of the Arch of Titus, which was raised

between Rome’s Palantine Hill and the Coliseum in 79 A.D. The tale goes that Charles Tilton could see the hill on which he would build his arch from the front porch of his mansion atop School Street Hill in Tilton. Because Charles hoped that Tilton and Northfield would merge, he built the Arch on Northfield soil in 1883 as his final resting-place. He hoped to be buried in a huge stone vault under the Arch, but this plan was never to be realized when residents of Northfield rejected the merger. (Charles felt strongly about his burial place being in the town of Tilton.)

Although the plans for his monument never materialized, there was no going back once the hulking Arch had been

erected on the hilltop overlooking Tilton. Composed of hewn Concord granite, with a 40-foot width, the Arch has a block of Spanish marble between its two columns. A Numidian lion guards the block, and the pedestal and figure weigh an amazing 50 tons.

While I am not a motorcyclist, I can highly recommend any or all of these unusual day tripping adventures for Bike Week attendees. From a beautiful waterfall to a giant arch, a bog and a boat tour and anything in between, you are certain to take home some great memories should you decide to ride these roads less traveled to the things that make NH special, unique, sometimes weird, sometimes offbeat, but always memorable.

Greek Myth Program at Wolfeboro Public Library On Thursday, June 14 at 7 pm, the Wolfeboro Public Library will present an unusual and fascinating program titled How Did the Greeks Believe Their Myths? with speaker-scholar R. Scott Smith.

Greek myth exerted a powerful influence on the Greeks and Romans, and as cultures and circumstances changed, different means developed to incorporate mythology. Perhaps most notably, says presenter Scott Smith, Christians adopted and adapted Greek myths by allegorizing the stories, seeking to uncover the real— and Christian—truths underneath the facade of pagan gods and heroes.

Some Greeks tried to rationalize the stories, imagining that they were simply ordinary events blown out of proportion. Others saw myth as pseudo-history, or sometimes pseudoscience.

This program will investigate the major ways the Greeks tried to explain and interpret their own mythical past over the course of a thousand years.

Smith, Professor of Classics at the

Don Mayer: Celebrating Sandwich Plan to be part of the festivities as the town of Sandwich celebrates the Sandwich Spring Festival on June 16. The day-long event includes something for everyone.

Don Mayer will present his delightful drawings at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery. A runner and a resident, Mayer’s work takes the viewer on a not-quite-precise tour of the town. His sense of humor will bring a laugh to all who follow his path through Downtown Sandwich, Uptown Sandwich and on to Suburban Sandwich.

About five years ago, Don Mayer decided he wanted to draw. After buying, “burning through” and discarding a

number of artistic supplies, Mayer settled on India ink and a fountain pen.

Though he has had little art training, a course in woodcut and printmaking in college influenced this decision. He loved the sharp, black lines that the block created when printed on paper.

Mayer’s art is influenced by two rather disparate people: Stephen Huneck and Van Gogh. As a dog lover and owner of two black labs, Mayer liked the humor of Huneck’s dog-loving prints. From Van Gogh, Mayer learned that it is okay to take a bit of license with perspective!

Finally, Mayer loves the outdoors and “the goofy fun of dogs” while he is running dirt roads and trails. Each

of his drawings contains a canine gallery. Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery commentator who might recite poetry is located at 69 Maple Street in Center or critique Mayer’s work but is always Sandwich. there as a good-natured friend that Gallery hours are from 10 am to 5 pm, www.thelaker.com reminds him to live in the moment and Monday through Saturday, and noon to have fun with this new venture. Your Where-To-Go, 5 pm on Sunday. For more information Guide What-To-Do There will be a reception to meet Don visit www.patricialaddcarega.com or for the Lakes Region Mayer on June 16 from 5 to 7 pm at the call 603-284-7728.

Enjoy the Meredith Sculpture Walk This Summer

By Sarah Wright The Meredith Sculpture Walk committee has begun installing some new sculptures for 2018. Get ready for some amazing showstoppers and thought-provoking art from a variety of very talented artists. This year, the Meredith Sculpture Walk celebrates five years of beautiful, artistic creations.

Over the years, tens of thousands of residents and visitors have taken the walk. This year, take the walk and you will be among the lucky ones who have seen the amazing sculptures in the

beautiful outdoor setting of Meredith.

Adults can appreciate the artistry in each design, while kids can consider it a fancy scavenger hunt. (I think it sounds like a great outing for my family this summer, because we’re always looking for new day-trip ideas.)

For those of you who might not have heard of the Sculpture Walk, it’s a carefully curated, annual exhibit of sculptures placed around the scenic town of Meredith. Sculptors from all over the northeast have been juried in to this year-round, outdoor experience.

It’s no surprise that the walk has had great success, with over 30 sculptures being placed throughout Meredith this year, along Main Street, in the gardens of the Mill Falls Marketplace, beside Lake Winnipesaukee, and in Hesky Park, as well as other scenic parks.

Plaques next to the sculptures detail the name of the work, and the artist’s name with contact information.

How did the idea come about? It all started back in 2012, when a volunteer committee began planning the first Meredith Sculpture Walk. Committee Chairman, Bev Lapham, made formal presentations to local town officials, civic groups, and businesses with a very positive response. Soon, subcommittees were formed to manage details such as site selection, artist communi-

cation, jury formation, legal and logistical planning, promotion, community engagement, beautification, and installation. (For example, a high school “Snow Brigade” of volunteers was appointed to care for the sculptures during the winter.)

A “call to artists” for the first Sculpture Walk went out in January of 2014. Applications arrived from artists throughout the eastern United States, and 25 sculptures were selected through an independent jury process.

The sculpture sites were then matched to the individual pieces to highlight and enhance their beauty. The Meredith Area Chamber of Commerce rec• Sculpture Continued on page 29

• Sculpture Continued from page 28 ognized the Sculpture Walk with their Civic Project Award, and with so much positive response, it was decided the Greater Meredith Program would continue accepting artist applications annually.

The popularity of the walk, as well as artist participation, has grown over the years. Word has traveled across the region. Recently, the Sculpture Walk Committee was nominated for the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, Governor’s Arts Award. This year, the committee anticipates the largest number of visitors yet, as the fifth annual exhibition coincides with a year-long celebration of Meredith’s 250th anniversary.

Executive Director of the Greater Meredith Program and member of the Sculpture Walk committee, Monica Philbin, says there will be 26 new pieces this year and six returning pieces.

“This year, we will be displaying an enormous metal baby giraffe by Chris Williams at the corner of Main Street and Lake Street,” she says, “and a favorite artist named Dale Rogers is returning this year with another fun piece to be placed on the waterfront. It’s going to be a great surprise.”

Dale Rogers delighted past visitors with a hollowed-out dog sculpture and a hand with small birds. Some of the other artists featured this year include David Borrus, Jamie Calderwood, Stephen Green, Blaze Konefal, Judith Peck, Greg Spitzer, and Marilu Swett.

When asked, Monica feels the walk is a success because, “from the artist’s perspective, we do our best to treat them like royalty. The installation crew meets with each artist to make sure their piece is placed properly, and in a beautiful setting.” She adds, “We also do what we can to help promote each artist.

“From the public standpoint,” Monica continues, “visitors like that the sculptures are outdoors, that it’s some-

thing new and different, and that the walk is kid-friendly.” In other words, it’s a welcome change of pace from being inside.

If you missed the walk last year, you may still be able to see some of those pieces. The decommissioning of last year’s sculptures and installation of this year’s pieces began on June 1, and continue through mid-July. Naturally, it takes time, and the sculptures need to be carefully placed. You can find maps and brochures for the walk at town kiosks, or online at www.greatermeredithprogram.com (click on the Sculpture Walk link for more information).

Loons Nesting on Loon Preservation Committee’s Live Loon Cam The Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) is streaming live footage of a pair of nesting loons on a lake in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire at www.loon.org. This is the fifth year the Loon Preservation Committee has shared the live feed with the public, and the loon webcam became a worldwide phenomenon last year with viewers from all 50 states and over 200 countries. It also made it into the top five ranking of pet/animal webcams on YouTube. The high definition video captured the first egg on May 25 and two eggs were seen on May 28. Loon Preservation Committee biologists expect to see chicks between June 20 and 22, if all goes well.

An image captured from the live webcam shows an adult loon sitting on a nest on a lake in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. The live loon cam can be viewed at www.loon.org or on the Loon Preservation Committee’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/LoonCenter). many challenges, including black flies, Nesting loons in New Hampshire face predators, flooded nests, and intruding loons. This loon pair is among the first loons in the state to initiate a nest; the peak of loon nest initiation usually occurs around the first week of June in Seeding both residential and New Hampshire, followed by a fourcommercial properties in week incubation period.

New Hampshire, Southern Maine LPC biologists banded both Loon and Northern Massachusetts.

Cam adults with unique combinations of color bands and have confirmed that it is the same pair of loons as last year.

In 2017, this pair hatched one chick that successfully fledged from the lake in the fall. The Loon Preservation Committee is hoping for another successful hatch in 2018. To see the live loon cam please visit www.loon. org or LPC’s YouTube channel- https:// Introducing our brand new: Finn Hydrodseeder 330 Titan In business for over 80 years and www.youtube.com/user/LoonCenter. the only one in ME, NH or VT.

This decrease was most likely due in part to the fourth wettest spring in the past 100 years, which left many traditional sites underwater at the onset of nesting. Over 40% of nesting loon pairs were protected by signs and rope lines placed around nests by Loon Preservation Committee biologists and volunteers. However, even with this

HYDROSEEDING

level of management, LPC biologists recorded 107 nest failures last year, many due to human disturbance at the nest. Loons face growing challenges and the impacts of climate change and other threats are increasingly being felt by New Hampshire’s small loon population.

LPC biologists ask boaters to stay back at least 150 feet from a nesting loon, or more if the loon shows any signs of distress, such as craning its neck low over a nest. Loons may even appear to be injured or dead while in this head-down position, but it is simply a response to the close approach of people. If inadvertently causing a loon to flush from the nest, boaters should leave the area immediately to let the loon return to incubate its eggs. Time off the nest leaves the eggs vulnerable to cooling, overheating, or predation. These precautions can help ensure a good season for loons in New Hampshire.

Loons are a threatened species in New Hampshire and are protected by state and federal laws from hunting or harassment. If you see a sick or injured loon, please call the Loon Preservation Committee (603-476-5666). If you observe harassment of loons, please contact the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (603-271-3361) or Marine Patrol (603-293-2037) for assistance.

The Loon Preservation Committee monitors loons throughout the state as part of its mission to restore and maintain a healthy population of loons in New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the natural world.

To learn more about loons in New Hampshire, please visit the Loon Preservation Committee at www.loon. org or call 603-476-LOON (5666).

For Bernard, three is the perfect number—until it isn’t. Relying upon the precise scheduling of airline departures and arrivals has always prevented all three of his flight attendant fiancées from crossing paths in their single Paris flat. Bernard brags that it is the perfect arrangement. But when Boeing introduces a new, much faster jet and flight schedules tighten up, Bernard has to struggle to keep a little turbulence from turning into a tail-spin.

Boeing Boeing by Marc Camoletti and translated by Beverley Cross and Francis Evan is a door-slamming farce written in the “swinging sixties” that continues to deliver fresh laughs today.

Ben Brantley of the New York Times says that Boeing Boeing “levitates low burlesque into high comedy” and Mail on Sunday cheers, “Fasten your seatbelts for the most deliriously funny flight of your life.”

Chillin’ While Grillin’ Sausages, Brats and Dogs!

By Chef Kelly Ross In this week’s article, I am going to talk about sausages, bratwurst and hot dogs. When it comes to all of them, as in many foods, people usually fall into one of two categories. It’s pretty much a “loving-them-or-hating-them kind of thing. Sure, there are many who fall into the “take-it-or-leave -it” crowd, but usually it’s one extreme or the other.

Technically hot dogs and bratwurst are a sausage. The meat choices and spices are what make them unique among themselves. Hot dogs, originally known as Frankfurts, originated in Germany. Once Americanized, they became hot dogs, but there is really no difference between the two. The term “frankfurter” is translated to “little sausage from Frankfurt”. As for brats, the term brat means “finely cut.” One of the things that make brats unique is a minced meat filling. Where dogs and brats are fairly consistent in how they are made regardless of location, sausage is a completely different story.

The varieties are endless.

Personally, I am a huge fan of sausage, brats are a close second, and hotdogs are a distant third. Most of the haters out there feel that way due to the ingredients/fillers in said product.

Personally, that doesn’t bother me much. To me, it’s all about “does it taste good?” I am a “take-it-or-leave-it” hot dog guy. What does amuse me is that

there are so many hot dog connoisseurs out there who are incredibly religious about what hot dog they like. Whether it’s about a brand name they prefer, or if it is made with beef, pork, chicken or a combo dog, skinless or natural casing, the lovers will debate with you all day about what is the best dog. When it comes to dogs, I don’t eat enough of them to care too much, but the lovers love what they love, and there is nothing wrong with that. To me the biggest discussion should be about what is the best hot dog roll. A hot dog should sit in a New England style roll, with the flat sides that you can butter and grill. I’m not much of a fan of the

dog roll that looks more like a mini sub roll. Give me the New England style roll any day.

As for brats, there isn’t quite as big a fan club or debate, with the exception of what region makes the best brats.

Bratwurst originated in Germany, but anyone from Wisconsin will tell you that their brats are the best. I have never met a brat I didn’t like. When I was a few years out of college, I worked for/ with a guy who was from Wisconsin who threw a big Brat Party. The way he cooked them is still the best I have ever had. Where hot dogs rarely get me pumped up, I often jump at the opportunity to eat a good bratwurst. As

a general rule of thumb, it is usually made from pork and/or veal and is highly seasoned. Its unique flavor is usually derived from pepper, sage and nutmeg.

When it comes to sausage, the varieties and flavors seem to be infinite. There are so many options, it can sometimes get confusing, but I love them all. Sausages are prominent worldwide and the flavors of each sausage are determined by the ethnicity and religious backgrounds of each region. From Polish to German to Italian and the many other national styles, they all make my taste buds smile. I prefer hot and spicy, but the great thing about sausage is that there are so many flavor styles. I would expect the most popular sausage to grill in America is a sweet Italian sausage when making a sub or sandwich, traditionally with peppers and onions. That is an American staple, especially when going to Fenway or to a local seasonal fair. When it comes to most styles of sausage, you can grill it and eat that bad boy just the way it is to enjoy its full flavor on its own merit.

I think my all-time favorite sausage is made for me by a local friend during hunting season. He always turns most of his deer into a spicy venison sausage.

Oh my! Absolutely incredible. Other than that, I probably prefer a good • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued on page 33

June 11, 2018 • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 32 Chorizo, with its origin is Spain, or an Andouille from France; but seriously, it’s all good to me.

Unless you are making a gumbo, soup, sauce or a certain sauté dish, there really aren’t a bunch of special grilling recipes for sausages. As for brats, there are a few options, but still somewhat basic when doing on the grill. Hot dogs however, have many more options when cooking on the grill. As I have said in other articles, one of the best things about cooking is getting your kids involved. Some of the hot dog recipes here will have the kids intrigued. Some may contain an ingredient or two that may not be “kid friendly”, but one of the best things about cooking is tweaking a recipe to your own liking, and 99.9% of the kid crowd will jump at any opportunity to eat a hot dog. (Like many adults, some prefer steamed or boiled, which is what turned me off from hot dogs at a young age.) Once I learned hotdogs could be grilled, I realized that version is much better.

I am going to start with some fun, original, and fairly simple recipes.

Let’s begin with a combo of two favorites of many, hot dogs and tacos.

Here is the recipe for eight Taco Dogs.

These are not only tasty, but fun to eat.

I actually now use flour tortillas more often than hot dog rolls. Tortillas can give you some fun options.

Ingredients: 8 hot dogs ½ cup finely diced red onion Salt and pepper 1 avocado, pitted, peeled and smashed 1 tomato, seeded and chopped Juice of 2 limes 3 Tbsp. chopped cilantro 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar ½ cup salsa 8 six-inch flour tortillas Combine the avocado, tomato, onion, lime juice and cilantro to make

a guacamole. Season with salt and pepper.

Grill the hot dogs to your liking. (I prefer them with a crisp outside) While the dogs are cooking, put some salsa and guacamole in a stripe across the middle of the tortilla, leaving about a ½ inch border on each side of the tortilla. Place a hot dog over the sauces, top with cheese and roll up the tortilla around the dog and secure with a toothpick. Spray cooking spray on the grill and grill the tortilla-wrapped dog a few minutes on each side until browned and crispy. Enjoy! Even a traditional hot dog with mustard, relish and chopped onion is great in a tortilla like this, and also with the cheese.

Now that we have done a Mexican version of a hot dog, let’s go with an Italian theme. I call this one a Pizza Dog, and it’s another winner with kids and adults. As a general rule, I do this one in a hot dog bun, but a tortilla still works great.

Here’s your shopping list for six dogs: 6 hot dogs 6 New England style hot dog rolls Melted butter, about ¼ cup ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp oregano Italian seasoning blend ½ cup pizza sauce 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella ½ cup mini pepperoni, or cut some traditional sized pepperoni in quarters A couple sheets aluminum foil On a medium-high grill, place foil on half the grill surface. Open the hot dog rolls and brush with melted butter.

Sprinkle with garlic powder and place on the foil right side up. Place the dogs on the side of the grill with no foil.

Close the lid and cook for a couple minutes. Open after 2-3 minutes, turn the dogs and check on the rolls. The rolls will eventually brown up a little bit.

Take out the rolls and dogs. Spoon pizza sauce inside the roll, add the hot dog, top with mozzarella, and sprinkle

with the oregano, then place the pepperoni on top. Place the dogs on the foil and close the grill and pull them once the cheese is completely melted and serve. It’s another fun dog. This can easily be done in the oven as well.

The next one is a traditional classic which is famous in the city of Chicago, hence the name as the Grilled Chicago Dog. Most big cities are well known for at least a particular type of food, and hot dogs are a Chicago staple. This one might not be as kid friendly, but it is pretty darn good. Extremely simple and basic, but it is a true classic dog.

Here are the ingredients for 8 hot dogs.

8 hot dogs 8 hot dog rolls Sliced bread and butter pickles 1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes ½ cup diced onion Sweet relish 1 cup shredded lettuce Yellow or Dijon mustard Grill hot dogs to your liking. If using New England style rolls, which is most definitely not a Chicago staple, butter and grill the rolls as well. Granted, not a true Chicago dog, but as I say, tweak recipes to your liking.

To assemble the dogs as in Chicago, line the bottom of the roll with pickles, add the dog, and top with tomatoes, onions, relish, and lettuce, then drizzle with mustard over the top and enjoy like a true Chicago native.

Now, for my favorite recipe of the day, Cheesy Beer Brats. An old friend shared this recipe with me. He was one of the first chefs I worked for as a kid trying to climb the kitchen ladder. His name was Al Sorenson and he would consider it sacrilegious to use anything but a Wisconsin Brat, but I think he would forgive you if you were to use your brat of choice. As Al insisted on and proved to me on many occasions, you don’t just cook a couple of brats.

Make it a party. This recipe is for 10 brats, although he would do it for 50 people at least at a time.

For the Brats: 48 oz beer

1 sweet onion, sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 10 brats 10 sub or hoagie rolls the same size as your brats For the Cheese Sauce: 2 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp flour 4 oz beer 4 oz milk 8 oz sharp shredded cheddar 1 tsp smoked paprika Freshly chopped chives In a large pot, add the beer, onion, and garlic and bring to a boil. Add the brats to the hot beer and drop the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for 15 minutes or so. At this point, add them to a hot grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning over halfway through the cooking process.

As for the cheese sauce, in a small sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter and then whisk in the flour.

Cook for a minute, stirring the whole time to make a smooth roux. Slowly add the beer and milk to the roux, always stirring. Continue to whisk over medium heat until the sauce thickens.

Plan on about 3 minutes or so.

Remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Stir the mixture steadily until the cheese has melted and you have a nice smooth sauce. Place the brats in the bun and smother with the cheesy beer sauce and sprinkle with paprika and chopped chives. These are outstanding.

Along the same lines, my favorite hot dogs are cooked the same way, although I cooked the dogs in the beer at a lower heat and not quite as long.

The taste of the beer is so awesome and adds an outstanding flavor.

Whether it be a simple Weenie Roast, or even better, a Sausage Fest, or a Brat Bash, I hope these recipes give you some ideas for a fun get together.

Until next week, keep on Chillin’ while Grillin’!

The Libby Museum opens with Amy Piper’s Photo Exhibit Through June and July, the work of local photographer Amy Piper is on view at The Libby. The textures and landscapes of Amy’s photographs are stunning, and many images are for sale.

The Libby is now open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm, and Sundays from noon to 4 pm.

Admission is free for children and veterans, and $5/adult. There are few places more beautiful than The Libby, and few photographers more gifted than Amy. Amy’s passion for photography runs the gamut from nature and landscape to texture, abstract, and detail. According to Amy, her mother used to tell her she saw the world through “rose colored glasses”. Amy prefers to think with her eye for detail, she sees the potential beauty in everything and tries to bring beauty to life through her camera lens for others to enjoy and appreciate.

Amy is the owner and creative designer of Signature Events, a local wedding and event planning company now celebrating its 19th year. Locally, Amy belongs to the Lakes Region Photography Club, where she has been a member for several years.

Amy was given her first camera when she turned 16. Growing up in Connecticut, she was inspired by her parents, both talented artists and photographers. Amy recalls her Mom developing her own pictures in the family bathroom turned dark room, where you had to knock on the door before you entered.

During her senior year in college, Amy attended a Semester Abroad program in Bath, England. By this time, she’d purchased additional camera lenses and gear and set out for what would be an adventure of a

Stunning photos by Wolfeboro photographer Amy Piper are on view at the Libby Museum.

lifetime. In the very first class, students were told the best learning experiences would be outside of the classroom.

Given the green-light to travel, Amy and her new-found friends headed off to Italy. On an overnight train trip to Rome, all her camera gear was stolen.

She spent her first few hours in Rome at a police station. The camera bag was never recovered and she had to buy all new camera equipment. During the semester abroad, Amy traveled extensively, taking photographs in England, France, Italy, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, and Scotland.

It was truly the start of an incredible passion for photography, which will always be an important part of her life.

While you’re at the Libby Museum, explore the nature trails and find the hidden bear. Museum staff will test young minds with scavenger hunts, which will keep curious kids busy for at least an hour. The museum promotes discovery, and may be the only place to (gently) touch a real mouse and bear,

or to see a porcupine up close.

This summer, the Libby Museum also will have live animal shows every Wednesday afternoon, young kids wilderness skills training, the

much loved “Lil Sprouts” morning program for 5 to 8 year olds, and “Lake Discovery Camp” (in partnership with the NH Boat Museum).

Visit the Libby Museum at 755 North Main Street in Wolfeboro.

The Libby Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm, and Sunday from noon to 4 pm.

Call 603-569-1035 or visit www. thelibbymuseum.org.

You may also visit www. thelibbymuseum.org or www. amypiperphotography.com to see more of Amy’s work. Contact Amy for photography assignments and opportunities. (Recently, Amy discovered a potential new love in real estate photography when asked to take photos of cabins at a friend’s rental property. Essentially, as long as it involves a camera, Amy is happy to explore any opportunity to be creative.

Little Church Theater Summer Season Announced The Little Church Theater in Holderness will open in July for its sixteenth summer on the shores of Squam Lake with a mix of original plays, psychological thrillers, rowdy nights of music and play readings.

Performances at the award-winning theater will be offered July through August, so don’t miss out.

The Letters by John W. Lowell, directed by Bryan Halperin, will take place from Thursday to Saturday, July 12 to 14 at 7:30 pm and on Sunday, July 15 at 2 pm. A two-person, cat-andmouse game, The Letters is a drama of intimidation and disinformation set in Soviet Russia. The Letters is a fictional account of the efforts by the Soviets to censor and suppress the private papers of composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

The Chicago Tribune calls it a “riveting, airtight, two-person drama” that “simultaneously sends a chill down the spine and raises the hackles on one’s neck.” The psychological thriller, with a Hitchcock-like grip according to the Washington Post, portrays the life and death struggle between those who suppress the truth and those who

sacrifice everything to liberate it. The current global political climate makes this Soviet-era play extremely relevant.

If you like great music, plan to attend the NH Fiddle Ensemble led by Ellen Carlson on Tuesday, July 17 at 6 pm.

This fun, entertaining, feel-good acoustic show with finale jam session

was a sell-out last summer. Always a hit with the crowd, the Fiddle Ensemble is made up of musicians of all ages playing guitars, mandolins, banjos, and basses. Their lively performances are just as diverse with fiddle music in a variety of traditions including folk, country, pop, swing, rich, melodious Irish and classical, to driving rhythmic Cajun and bluegrass. “It’s more than just fiddle tunes,” according to Ellen Carlson, Fiddle Ensemble coach.

“There are kids playing fiddles behind their backs and hula-hooping while they play, a 75-year-old woman stepping up to rip up a bluegrass fiddle tune solo, a 50-year-old teetotaler who can belt out a great Irish drinking song, a 60-year-

old woman singing the blues, a stone mason who steps up to play an upright bass solo on a swing song, and so much more.” Be ready to tap your feet and dance in your seat!

“Dearly Beloveds” is an original play

by Jessica Hoffmann Davis. The show will run from July 26 to 28, at 7:30 pm and on July 29 at 2 pm. “My husband dead on a Thursday. His other wife comes on a Friday. Oh boy. Oh boy.”

Dearly Beloveds is a play about secrets, betrayals, forgiveness, and love. Lifechanging discoveries, uncovered at Jack Sunstein’s funeral, completely upend his family’s world. Outrage and hilarity rule as more surprises unfold and everyone fumbles to find a way forward. Writer and director, Jessica Hoffmann Davis, lives in Holderness, NH, where, since her retirement from the faculty of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, she has been writing full time. At the Little Church Theater, she has presented three other hit plays: The Salon (2015), Houseguests (2013) and Reunion (2010) which was co-authored with Monique Devine.

A play reading called “The Hairy Man”, was written and directed by Bryan Halperin. The reading will be held on Friday, August 3 at 7 pm and on Saturday, August 4 at 2 pm. Against the backdrop of the Great Depression, a wandering Jewish immigrant stumbles upon the Benton Farm in Kentucky on his way to California. As cultures • Little Church Continued on page 38
