Upcoming Lectures at Taylor Community As part of Taylor Community’s Resident Lecture Series, resident Vince Lunetta will share colorful photos and information about Yellowstone National Park, which has nearly 3,500 square miles of wilderness, and is home to thousands of wild animals and powerful geological features.

Squam Lakes Association Opens New Hiking Trail in Holderness The Squam Lakes Association (SLA) has officially opened the Brooks Fisher Trail. There was a ribbon cutting ceremony and guided hike on June 2 to mark the opening. The Lakes Region Conservation Corps AmeriCorps service team, led by SLA Director of Operations Brett Durham, constructed the trail, which is located off Perch Pond Road near Owl Brook Hunter Education Center in Holderness.

Durham expressed his excitement at the opening, saying, “This trail is the realization of many hours of hard work from our AmeriCorps team over the winter months. It is a wonderful and unique addition to our 50-plus miles of trail, and the perfect trail for family hikes.”

The 1.4-mile trail is land owned

by Burleigh Limited Partners, and Tim and Audrey Fisher, Peter and Faith Coolidge and the E.S. Webster Foundation generously supported the creation of the trail and parking area at the trailhead. This trail switches back across the slope using a trail building technique called benching and has an average grade of about six percent, which will make it a much easier trail to hike than many around the area. The new trail also showcases an historic cellar hole and offers ample

opportunity to explore the woodland natural resources. It gradually leads hikers up the flanks of the Squam Range, connecting to the Crawford Ridgepole Trail near Mount Webster to a scenic overlook near the summit.

According to Tim Fisher, “Squam Lakes Association and Lakes Region Conservation Corps AmeriCorps team have done an incredible job constructing this trail. The opening was a deeply meaningful and special event for me, and my family. We are proud to offer this gift to the community to enjoy for generations to come.”

The Brooks Fisher Trail is open to the public, and closed only during mud season. For more information, please contact the Squam Lakes Association at 603-968-7338.

The SLA is a non-profit organization established in 1904, and for over 100 years has been working to protect and conserve the natural beauty, peaceful character, and resources of the Squam Lakes Watershed. In collaboration with local and state partners, the SLA promotes the protection, careful use and shared enjoyment of the lakes, mountains, forests, open spaces and wildlife of the Squam Lakes area.

Discovering Wolfeboro’s Rail-Trail Story & Photos by Molly Ingram Over a century ago, New England was connected by dozens of railroad lines, all competing with one another to transfer people and items to and from towns. In 1868, a railroad was built among lakes, ponds, streams, and woods, with a plan to incorporate another way of travel out of remote Wolfeboro. Before the railroad was built, most of the visitors traveled by train, only being able to arrive as far as Alton Bay or Weirs, then they would continue by a steamer to Wolfeboro.

The addition of the railroad changed the pace of the little community and increased tourism, transforming Wolfeboro into a buzzing summer resort town. Once freight service became unprofitable, the station decided to close the line. One-hundredand-fifty-years later, the railroad is still occupied and running, but in an alternative way. Laid out within and alongside the historical tracks, gravel paths were assembled to bring the once busy trails alive and active again.

Plans were put into action in 1992 to create recreational trails and the first of many miles were assembled to establish the Cotton Valley Rail-Trail.

Adventure seekers, families, outdoor enthusiasts, and athletes of all ages visit and incorporate the rail-trail into their daily routines. The Cotton Valley Rail-Trail supports many hobbies and activities throughout all four seasons.

If you’re tough enough to brave the

cold New England winter weather, you may encounter people pursuing Nordic skiing, mushing, snowshoeing, or snowmobiling. As soon as the RailTrail thaws and summer approaches, bikers, runners, walkers, and wildlife watchers populate the trail while discovering the beautiful landscape along the way.

The Cotton Valley Rail-Trail is a continuous 12-mile multiuse trail that begins at the eastern shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, and ends in Sanbornville, New Hampshire’s restored railroad Turntable Park.

Along the first half of the Rail-Trail, starting in downtown Wolfeboro, you will go past Back Bay where benches are placed by the water and are perfect for watching the water ski competitions

or remote control sailboat regattas.

You will see breathtaking views of the mountains on the water’s horizon as you cross Lake Wentworth; you will surely want to stop and admire the vista’s beauty. You will come across Albee Beach, Wolfeboro’s public beach where stopping for a swim, bathroom break, or a seat on one of their picnic benches in the shade is convenient. Continuing on the trail you’ll find Fernald Crossing, another train station that’s been preserved by the members of the Cotton Valley Rail-Trail Club. In 1992, the club was joined by local railroaders to pursue their hobby of railway motorcars. The club not only runs these cars on the railroad, but they also have devoted their time to preserving the property and equipment maintaining the railway so they can continue operating the cars.

Thus, don’t be alarmed if you hear a train coming!

Passing by Fernald Crossing, the trail becomes less populated by people and more populated by woodland and wildlife. The tranquil setting of the forest and reduced business creates a venturesome atmosphere for the remainder of the trail. Among the trees, you may spot single-track trails just after Fernald Crossing where Wolfeboro Singletrack have begun to build a multi-use trail system designed for mountain biking. Following the trail’s heavily wooded path may provide an opportunity to encounter a variety of New Hampshire wildlife along the way. Brooks, ponds, and marshes throughout the trail provide homes and resources for the wild animals. If you’re lucky, you may occasionally spot beavers building their dam, blue herons perched by the water’s edge, Bufflehead ducks, turtles sunning on a

log, or geese. If you’re on the trail early in the morning there is a likelihood of a passing glance at deer, black bear, fox, or moose before the dash off into the woods. If you feel like taking a break or resting by the scenic wetlands along the rail trail, benches and occasional picnic areas are provided throughout the trail close to every mile.

From Cotton Valley Road to the end of the trail, you’ll spot more wetlands and brooks as you travel toward Sanbornville. You’ll continue to wind your way through more green and quiet woodland. At the end of the trail, you’ll reach Turntable Park where the historical railroad turntable still remains. Once used as a device for turning locomotives so they could be moved back in the direction from which they came, it is now a great destination to end your 12-mile trip.

The Cotton Valley Rail-Trail wasn’t always 12 miles in length. In 2014 the completion of two miles of the trail by the Wakefield and Brookfield Rails/Trails actions committee was celebrated with a ribbon cutting. The final two miles marked the completion of the Cotton Valley Rail-Trail and joined two trails together to be used as one. The trail originally connected from its occurring location in Back Bay and ended six miles later at Cotton Valley Road where the trails were connected.

Wakefield, NH completed the two miles of Rail-Trail from Turntable Park to Clark Road in Brookfield, NH. The construction was a two-year effort. Without the Cotton Valley Rail Trail Club, volunteers, fundraisers, and organizations, the rail-trail wouldn’t be the beautiful trail it is today and for generations to come.

The Cotton Valley Rail-Trail has a lot to offer: From the fantastic glimpses of railroad history to its mountainous backdrops, lakes, countless ponds, and wildlife, the Rail-Trail provides you with the whole Lakes Region experience. Many visitors from around the world have come to Wolfeboro and experienced this trail, Whether you’re spending your day on the trail, going on an adventure, or commuting to work, you’ll find the Cotton Valley Rail-Trail has a friendly charm and clean attractiveness creating a sense of community no matter where you might be from. The Rail-Trail has carried and navigated passengers long ago and today, and it will continue doing so for many years to come.

Barnstormers Theatre Prepares for 88th Summer Season The Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth, NH is in full swing, with preparations for its 88th season of bringing live, professional theatre to the White Mountains and Lakes Region. “We have gathered a band of extraordinary talent for this season,” said Artistic Director, Bob Shea. “This summer will be one for the books.

We’re drawing on every genre, so there’s something for everyone. We can’t wait to share this great season with our wonderful community of friends.”

Opening the season is the outrageous, irreverent, side-splitting farce, The Producers, a Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan musical about two crazy guys who set out to swindle funds by producing a Broadway flop, and what happens when their best-laid plans turn to...gold. The show will run from June 28 to July 7; there will be no

performance on July 4.

Following The Producers is an adaptation of the classic Shirley Jackson novel, We Have Always Lived In The Castle, by Hugh Wheeler, on stage July 12 to 21. The play is a story about a reclusive family who is sequestered in the dark corners of their house, and the question is - why?

Mystery, suspense, a bit of horror and a pinch of dark humor ensue as the answer unfolds.

From July 26 to August 4, go backstage at a summer stock theatre in northern New England in Laughing Stock, a comedy by Charles Morey.

What could possibly go wrong as the theater company tries to stage a play?

Turns out, everything! Come and laugh as the calamities pile up.

It isn’t summer at The Barnstormers without an Agatha Christie play, and this summer, audiences will go on a journey to a remote island where 10

Consignor’s Avenue

strangers with murky pasts are summoned only to find murder and mayhem. Dame Agatha will keep you guessing till the bitter end in one of her most popular stories, And Then There Were None, on stage August 9 to 18.

Rounding out the season from August 23 to September 2 is a whirlwind of song, dance, and comedy as three actors romp through the history of the world as we know it, blithely dicing and shredding everything we’ve ever learned about history in school in the hilarious Western Civilization: The Complete Musical (Abridged) lovingly crafted by Reed Martin, Austin Tichenor, Nick Graham, and Dee Ryan.

And don’t forget, The Barnstormers will hold its Grand Annual Auction on Sunday, August 19, under the tent behind The Other Store in Tamworth Village. Beginning at 5 pm, the auction will include an open bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and silent and live auctions, all presided over by local emcee favorite, George Cleveland.

It’s going to be a season of great entertainment. Plan to visit The Barnstormers Theatre for its 88th summer season of laughter, drama, music, and community.

For tickets to a show or the auction, visit www.BarnstormersTheatre. org or call the box office Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm at 603-323-8500. Be sure to ask about group deals, season subscriptions, Eat Play Stay packages and other special promotions.

The Barnstormers Theatre, located in Tamworth Village, performs for two weeks per show, Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 pm, with weekend matinees on Saturdays at 2 pm and some Sundays at 5 pm, featuring air conditioning, comfortable seating, and wheelchair access.

Sharing the Gardens…and Artistry…at Hooked Rugs in the Gardens

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper “Gardens are the definition of beauty.

If you have a great garden, it’s a shame not to share it,” reflects Dick Barr of Gilmanton, NH. He is modest about the gardening skills he shares with wife, Sue, but if you see the lovely gardens at their home in Gilmanton you will know you have happened upon something really special.

For those who want to attend a unique – and inspirational – event, the Barr’s Hooked Rugs in the Gardens fundraiser on Saturday, June 23 from 4 to 6 pm will be a chance to stroll the gardens at the couple’s home, located at 30 High Street in Gilmanton, perhaps meet up with old friends or make new ones, and to view some of the most incredible gardens in the area.

Oh, and did we forget to mention the hooked rugs that will also be on display just for this event? The rugs are not the dime-store latch hook variety, but rather the real deal, handhooked the old-fashioned way with strips of wool on a linen backing. The artisan craft of rug hooking has seen a huge resurgence of late, but Dick and Sue have been hooking rugs for years. Their rugs adorn wall display areas in their home and the homes of friends all over the region. They will be displaying some of the original and beautiful rugs throughout the gardens during the event.

The proceeds from the event will be split equally between the Gilmanton Food Pantry and the Gilmanton YearRound Library, both worthy causes the couple are passionate about supporting.

“We have lived here many years,” says Sue. “This is a small community and these non-profits provide services to the town. We are grateful to have what we have and we want to share it with others and this event is a good way to do so.”

The Barrs are a great example of using your personal interests and talents

flowers.) Thus, the upcoming garden fundraiser event is in keeping with the Barr’s warm and welcoming mindset.

What will people see at the event?

“We have a 20-year-old established garden,” Dick explains. “It has zone four and five plantings. The gardens are created and built into different ‘rooms’ (areas) such as a sunken garden, and an opuntia garden, which is a cactus garden.”

Sue interjects, “The idea of growing cactus in NH with our cold winters is unusual. Cactus plants do not typically grow in NH, Maine, or Vermont but we wanted to give it a try and it has worked out very well.

“We have a lot of places to sit in our gardens. We always seek tranquility,” says Sue. She adds that they feel it is important to sit and relax and use your visual and auditory senses when outside.

Charming rock steps and walls meander through the garden spaces.

“We do all our own rock work,” Dick explains, “as well as our own yard clean up.”

He adds with a smile that Sue came up with a good rule that they must maintain the garden they have before they can add to it. It is a good rule although one can see why it would be quite tempting to keep adding more flowers and trees.

“We buy plants at end-of-the-year sales,” Dick says. “And we rehabilitate plants that others are throwing out.”

The gorgeous gardens are a testament to recycling and salvaging. Also on the garden tour will be various evergreen and other deciduous trees that Sue is unafraid to prune as needed – even if it means hauling out and climbing a very high ladder to reach all areas of a tree.

The gardens cover two acres and attendees will see intimate, private

• Garden Continued from page 12 areas with unexpected treats like a shade tree with a bench and a babbling water fountain where Sue says she often mediates at the start of her day.

“We got into gardening because building and restoring things has been our hobby for many years,” Dick says.

“Sue is a master gardener and I travel for my job and often visit botanical gardens wherever I am. It gives us good ideas for our own gardens. We see big ideas at botanical gardens and find ways to translate the ideas into a much smaller scale at our property. We saw the opuntia bed at a desert botanical garden in Arizona, which gave us the idea for trying it in our garden. We have various grasses in our garden and we got that idea from grass plantings in

serve cheese and crackers for guests and to take admissions at the door. A few of Dick and Sue’s beautiful handhooked rugs will also be for sale, with rug sale proceeds going to the two charities (Gilmanton Food Pantry and Gilmanton Year-Round Library).

Dick has been hooking rugs for many years, and Sue previously was an expert at counted cross-stitch; she now focuses on rug hooking. Winter evenings often find the couple snug indoors while outside, their gardens slumber under a blanket of snow. They sit and work on their rugs and Dick is known in rug hooking circles as one of the fastest rug hookers around! Sue, creative and skilled at whatever she touches, hooks in an array of colors and does the edge binding and finishing of all their rugs which more often than not end up on their walls vs. the floors. “We just have so many rugs and we don’t have room for many more, so these days we often give them away to friends and family.”

“But this time of year, the rug hooking gets put away for the summer,” Dick

The Barrs are also committed to using all organic soil amendments and fertilizers – you will find no pesticides in their gardens.

Gardeners and flower lovers will enjoy touring the gardens at their own pace and seeing such added features as a glass greenhouse the Barrs built last year because they wanted a place to go and sit in the warmth and grow plants during NH’s long winters. Their method of heating the greenhouse is clever - and energy saving.

Those who are wondering what to plant poolside should you be fortunate enough to have a backyard pool will enjoy seeing the Barr’s pool and the flowers that grow near the area.

Dick and Sue will have a group of volunteers to help pour wine and

says. “Gardening takes all our time.”

Their rugs are adaptations of scenery and art and primitive designs they have seen in a variety of places. About 25 of their hooked rugs will be on display here, there and everywhere in the glorious gardens, creating a very unique event.

The rain date for the event is the following day, June 24 from 4 to 6 pm. The garden event has been taking place yearly since 2008 and last year’s garden tour saw about 200 attendees.

When asked why they go to all the trouble to open their gardens for the tour and to do it to aid two local nonprofits when they could be sitting poolside sipping lemonade and relaxing, Sue reflects, “You know, none of us live in this world all by ourselves.” It is her way of saying that giving to others and sharing what we have is important.

For tickets and reservations to this year’s Hooked Rugs in the Gardens, call Sue Barr at 603-267-1905 or email susan.barr75@gmail.com.

Women War Correspondents of WWII

Still time to get it on Ballet Summer Intensive Northeastern Ballet Theatre (NBT), New Hampshire’s premier ballet company and training school, with studios in Wolfeboro and Dover, still has some availability for its Summer Intensive program.

NBT offers a summer intensive program that is flexible and affordable and provides the same serious classical ballet training you would get at abig-city ballet school. Under the directorship of Edra Toth, former prima ballerina for Boston Ballet, NBT provides a positive and encouraging atmosphere where dancers are taught to develop their unique artistic abilities. Instructors at NBT encourage all dancers to be the best they can be and no drama is tolerated.

Northeastern Ballet Theatre is not a competition or recital-driven school, and offers only ballet and classes

focused on technique. The Summer Intensive program runs from July 5 to August 31 and has full days for advanced dancers and half days for intermediate dancers. Regular classes for younger dancers and adults also continue throughout the summer.

Registration is ongoing and you can register for as many weeks and days within each week of the intensive as fits your schedule. Classes include pointe, technique, pas de deux and variations.

Guest master teachers will also be visiting and teaching throughout the summer. Sign up your preschoolers for the Prince and Princess mini ballet camp offered the week of June 25 to 28.

Chillin’ While Grillin’ Foil Pack Grillin’

By Chef Kelly Ross Some of my favorite memories are of camping when I was a kid. My family went camping almost every summer. From a very young age, the smell of a campfire, and in particular cooking on or over that campfire are fond memories. Whether it was simple burgers and dogs, barbecue chicken, making s’mores or just cooking a marshmallow on a stick, it was all very special.

My favorite food memory as a kid while camping though was the classic tin foil potatoes that so many are also quite familiar with: Sliced potatoes with peppers and onions, spices, and butter all wrapped up in tin foil that was thrown right into the fire or cooked on the grill. As a kid, I’m not sure if it was the process of watching my mom and/or dad unwrap the foil as it came off the fire, or the incredible smell that came out of that package, or ultimately the taste of those yummy spuds that intrigued me the most. To this day, it’s something I prepare at home quite often.

Many years ago, a thought crossed my mind while preparing tin foil potatoes: Why not cook other foods in the same manner? Although it all started as a way to prepare food while camping, there is no reason why the same process can’t be done at home on the grill. Certain foods don’t work well on the grill when cooked as is, but pop them in a foil pack and they cook like a charm (such as flaky white haddock and tilapia.) There are also foods that although can be great when cooked directly on the grill, many of them can be as good if not better in foil.

Cooking in foil is a version of steaming, which is a good thing.

Proteins and vegetables cook relatively quickly in foil. When steamed, and when a few items are cooked together within, the individual flavors of each item are incorporated in a wonderful way.

So, today’s theme includes some fun recipes all cooked within a tin foil package.

Let’s start with some fish and seafood ideas. I mentioned that white fish

Foil Pack; however, it is way more than just shrimp. This is a complete meal for four. Here is the shopping list.

Grilled Shrimp Foil Pack 1 ½ lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined 2-3 cloves minced garlic, depending on your love for garlic 3 large smoked Andouille sausages, in ¼ inch slices 2 large ears of corn, each cut into 4 equal pieces • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued on page 25

cooks great in this way, but I also love doing shrimp, scallops, and salmon in foil. Yes, seasoning and cooking shrimp directly on the grill is good, but it can overcook fairly quickly, giving you a dry final product. One of the key advantages about cooking in foil is that it keeps things moist, which is definitely not a bad thing. One suggestion I strongly recommend is to always use a heavy-duty foil. Basic foil can rip and puncture very easily. Also, always double-wrap to ensure that no steam can get out of the package.

For starters, let’s do a Grilled Shrimp

June 18, 2018 • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 24 1 lb red bliss potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes 2 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp Old Bay Seasoning 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges 8 Tbsp butter Kosher salt/table grind pepper 2 Tbsp freshly chopped parsley Pan release spray Cut 8 sheets of foil, about 18 inches long. Spray 4 of them with the pan release spray. Equally divide the shrimp, potatoes, sausage, corn, and garlic among the 4 sprayed sheets.

Lightly drizzle all of them with the olive oil and add salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Very gently, mixthe ingredients by hand so all are combined. Lastly, add the lemons, butter, and parsley.

Fold the foil over the mixture and roll the foil over the top and fold in the sides. Put these packs on the second foil pieces with the folded seam down and fold the mixture again. To properly steam there should be no way for the steam to get out of the foil.

Place the packs on a hot grill and cook about 20-25 minutes, turning over halfway through the process.

Carefully take the outer foil apart and put the entire inner foil packs on individual plates with the seam up and serve. The foil will stay hot for a while, so be cautious of the steam that will be released when you open it. Dig in with a fork and enjoy.

Next on the agenda is a recipe that has some similarities to the last one, but with a completely different flavor.

This one doesn’t have the potatoes, but includes zucchini and summer squash and a different array of herbs and seasonings. Shrimp is still the centerpiece in this recipe. Here is what you will need for 4 foil packs.

Cilantro Lime Shrimp Pack 1 lb medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined 3 ears of corn, again quartered

1 zucchini, cut into half moons 1 summer squash, also cut into half moons 2-3 cloves minced garlic 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 2 Tbsp freshly chopped cilantro Olive oil to drizzle Kosher salt and table grind pepper 2 limes, cut into slices 4 Tbsp butter Pan release spray In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, corn, zucchini, summer squash, garlic, cumin, crushed red pepper, and cilantro. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and combine well.

Lay out 8 heavy duty foil sheets, about 12 inches in length, and spray with pan release. Evenly divide the shrimp combo onto the 4 sprayed sheets and top each with lime slices and the butter and fold up the foil as described earlier.

Put the packs onto the other foil pieces, seam side down and fold again.

Pop them onto a high heated grill and cook for 15 minutes or so, turning over half way through. Again, carefully unfold (be careful of the hot steam which will start to escape). Truly a great blend of flavors Next, let’s cook a white fish. This recipe works great with any white fish.

I generally use a haddock or tilapia, but you can use whatever works best for you. It has a similar but different recipe to the lime cilantro shrimp.

Honey Lime Tilapia and Corn Foil Pack 4 filets of tilapia, 6-8 oz per piece, or haddock or other white fish 2 Tbsp honey 4 limes, thinly sliced 2 cans kernel corn 2 Tbsp fresh Cilantro leaves, chopped ¼ cup olive oil 4 Tbsp white wine Kosher salt/table ground pepper Pan release spray Cut 8 sheets of foil, about 12 inches long. Spray 4 of the sheets with the pan release spray. On all 4 sides of the foil, fold them up about an inch or so to

basically build 4 walls. Place a piece of tilapia in the middle of each. Brush the fish with honey and then top with the lime, corn, and cilantro. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper and then add 1 Tbsp wine to the surrounding area around the fish. (The walls are meant to hold the wine.) Fold the sheets around the fish securely. Then place the folded pack onto another sheet, this time keeping the folded seam up as opposed to down, because of the wine; the presentation will be much better.

Cook on a high heated grill for about 15 minutes. There is no need to turn it over during the cooking process. I feel confident you will really enjoy this dish. Great flavor!

For the most part, I think you have the idea of what cooking in foil is all about: Steaming items with great flavors in a packet where the flavor is confined within an area so nothing escapes. As I say in many articles, regardless of the subject, the whole idea is to think outside the box and create your own recipes. I’m going to give you a list of different ingredients so you can design your own foil packet using your favorite proteins, vegetables, fresh herbs, seasonings, and flavorful liquids.

Proteins: Almost any flaky fish, including salmon, chicken breast and/ or thighs, shrimp, scallops, sausages.

Veggies: Thinly-sliced carrots, zucchini, summer squash, peppers, onion, corn, mushrooms, potatoes, broccoli, fresh spinach, snow peas, green beans, cherry tomatoes, olives, scallions.

Dry seasonings: Chili powder, cumin,

granulated garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, paprika, Old Bay seasoning, salt and pepper.

Fresh seasonings: Ginger, lemon grass, thyme, basil, shallots, garlic, lemon and lime and orange slices.

Liquids: Wine, beef/chicken/fish stocks, citrus juice, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, fish sauce, tomato sauce, chili, any other preferred sauce, oils, butter.

Here are a few additional tips: When combining all of your ingredients, considering the steaming effect and not being able to see the product, I strongly suggest you use items universal in size.

As a general rule, when cooking individual packets, you usually need 2-4 Tbsp of liquid to create the steaming effect needed to infuse all ingredients with flavor.

Determining when things are cooked can be a little tricky with the foil since you can’t see the product. A good rule of thumb is a minimum of 15 minutes and depending on the size of proteins and veggies, as long as 30 minutes.

After 15-20 minutes, insert a digital thermometer into one packet to get an idea what of the temperature. Once you have cooked in foil a few times, it will be old hat in no time.

Have fun with these recipes and also when designing your own creations.

These will obviously work out great in the oven as well as on the grill, although it will take longer to cook in the oven and it’s that time of year I would prefer not to heat up the kitchen when I don’t have to. Happy Foiling!

Princesses and adventurers invited to Wolfeboro’s Cate Park!

Girls and boys of all ages are invited to dress as fairy princesses or adventurers for a day at a magical fairy world at Cate Park in Wolfeboro on Saturday, July 7. The Fairyland Festival is presented again this year by the Children’s Center in Wolfeboro.

Picturesque Cate Park, located next to the town dock in Wolfeboro, transforms into a magical fantasyland with delightful one-of-a-kind, beautiful, handmade fairy houses prominently displayed or perfectly tucked within the natural surroundings.

* 12 Month Financing Available

Take a self-guided tour of locally crafted fairy houses from 10 am to 1 pm on July 7. Admission to the event is a suggested donation of $5 per person or $15 for a family. Children 12 and under are admitted free, and proceeds benefit The Children’s Center.

Fairy houses are tiny homes built of “found” materials, lots of creativity, and a giant pinch of pixie dust. Twigs, stones, leaves, shells, bark, pine needles, leaves, and acorn caps become foundations, rafters, roofs, soft floors, and doors to these amazing creations.

The design possibilities are infinite and enchanting. Everyone is invited to build his/her own fairy house from materials available at a fully stocked craft table. The table will have twigs and branches, moss, acorns, pinecones, boxes and glue, and much more.

Maybe you are one of the hundreds of people who discovered these houses in the park last summer. This year, why not add to the landscape yourself? Individuals wishing to create and display a fairy house at the Fairy Land Festival can call the Children’s

Center at 603-569-1027 or visit www. thechildrenscenternh.org. to download a registration form.

The Fairy Land Festival will also offer a scavenger hunt, dancing ballerinas, face painting, bubbles, wands, fairy wings, crowns, and much more.

Family Fun is at Clark’s Trading Post!

By Sarah Wright Summer is almost here, and it’s time to visit some of the amazing places that New Hampshire has to offer. Celebrating 90 years this season, Clark’s Trading Post in Lincoln is one of those “must-see” places to go in New Hampshire.

What started back in 1928 as a roadside attraction with Eskimo sled dogs and artifacts from the far North, the Clark’s of today offers a steam train ride with the infamous “Wolfman”, an amazing Chinese Acrobat show, water blaster boats, a climbing tower, Segway tours, the Anaconda Escape water ride, five small museums to explore, and Merlin’s upside-down funhouse.

The biggest draw by far is the

incredible trained bear show! Truly a tradition among White Mountain vacationers, the entertaining and educational half-hour show is a thrill for all. I took my boys to Clark’s last summer, and we were all delighted and impressed with what the bears could do. You have to see it to believe it.

When we arrived at Clark’s, I wanted to see the bear show first, but my boys were most excited for the train ride. Who could blame them?

It wasn’t just the 25-minute ride on the wood-burning, steam Climax locomotive that they were looking forward to, but also the chance to taunt the famous “Wolfman” who doesn’t like visitors spying on his secret mining operation for “unobtainium.” What begins as a beautiful journey through a covered bridge circa 1904, across the scenic Pemigewasset River, turns into a quick escape from the “Wolfman” who will chase the train out of his territory. When asked if he likes children, the Wolfman replied, “Yes, although I prefer chicken or strawberries, in season.” Ride at your own risk, and you will have a blast!

After the train ride, we made

our way over to the show ring, where we were first treated to an amazing performance by the Yandong Chinese Acrobatic Trio.

With their crazy contortions and high-flying hoop diving, we were all left wondering, “How did they do that?!” Arevik Seyranyan, a young woman who has performed around the globe and is worldfamous for her hand-balancing act, accompanies them. Don’t miss this exciting performance.

Up next was the famous bear show, and we couldn’t wait. For a little background on the Clark family bear show tradition, Florence and Ed Clark purchased their first black bear back in 1931 to attract visitors. In 1949, sons Edward and W. Murray Clark began training bears for show work, and The Bear Show was born. Now in their fifth generation, the Clark family continues to entertain visitors to the Trading Post. Many other family members who work at the Trading Post join current trainers, Maureen and Murray Clark. We marveled at these beautiful trained bears and laughed at their antics.

a bear ride on a scooter, check the mailbox, drink milk from a bottle, and enjoy a ride in a swing, among other tricks. When it was over, my boys said that they wanted to see the show again.

I had the chance to speak with Maureen Clark for some information about the bears and found out that Clark’s Trading Post currently has seven bears. “We typically get the bears when they’re very young,” says Maureen. “Some come from zoos that don’t have the space, and we’ve also received wild cubs whose mother was killed by a hunter and one cub that was abandoned by its mother.” When the bears aren’t performing, they live in an enclosure across the street from the Trading Post.

So, what does it take to train a bear? “We start training in April or May, and take them across the street on Memorial Day weekend to get them used to the park and the ring,” says Maureen. “First the bears are trained to hold a bottle, and eventually we’ll get them jumping from one barrel to another and put them in the swing. By August to early September, some of the bears are already really good.” There are many rewards that the bears work for, including almonds, peanuts, prunes, fig bars, yogurt-covered raisins, and even ice cream. (If you’re wondering, the bears prefer vanilla or black raspberry ice cream flavors.)

Visitors should keep in mind that every bear show is unique and can vary depending on the weather, audience reaction, or smells in the

air. “I can always tell when there’s a wild bear nearby, because the bear’s ears will go up,” says Maureen.

“The bears work off food, signals, and habit, but they can still get distracted.”

After the bear show, the kids were hungry, so we stopped at The Whistle Stop Snack Bar for lunch.

Then we had ice cream at the Peppermint Saloon. When we were finished, we strolled along Main Street and explored the different museums that display life in older times. The boys enjoyed the 1884 Fire Station the most. But there is so much more to do at Clark’s that we were only just getting started!

Have you ever wanted to try a Segway? It looks like so much fun. At Clark’s, there are two ways to experience the “glide” of a Segway. You can take a fun, threeminute ride through the nation’s first Segway park along 450 feet of track, or take the adventurous Segway Safari into the Wolfman’s territory on an off-road Segway.

The 45-minute, guided tour will take you up close and personal with the legendary curmudgeon himself!

For the Segway park, riders have to be at least 48 inches tall, but for the Segway Safari, riders must be at least 15 years old.

What kid wouldn’t enjoy a fun house? Merlin’s Mystical Mansion is full of magic and illusion. Take a tour with Merlin’s apprentice, and it will turn your world upside down!

Visitors familiar with Clark’s will see that Tuttle’s Rustic House has recently been changed into a laser shooting gallery. This interactive attraction tests your shooting skills with 60 targets. Pool balls roll uphill, the train whistles blow, and

your senses are thrown off by the crazy angles while you try to aim.

Hit the target by the teakettle and watch the steam come out, or hit the target by the fake skunk and it’ll spray! (Don’t worry, it’s just water.)

Everyone can challenge themselves on the 30-foot, Old Man of the Mountain Climbing Tower, with six varying degrees of difficulty. Kids less than 45 pounds can have fun scrambling up the climbing structure next to the tower.

If you need to cool off, soak your family and friends in the blaster boats at the Old Mill Pond. It’s the perfect solution to cooling off on a hot day For a more daring dip, the

Anaconda Escape water raft ride will speed you through 300 feet of twists and drops, as you race down the fully enclosed, totally dark tube on your own rubber raft.

The only thing left for us to do was to visit one of the gift shops.

The boys picked out popguns and classic candy, and we were off.

Clark’s Trading Post is definitely a place we’ll return to again and again! Clark’s is located at 110 Daniel Webster Highway in Lincoln, New Hampshire. For a full show schedule and admission prices, visit www.clarkstradingpost.com or call 603-745-8913 for additional information.

Singer/songwriter Patty Griffin Coming to Capitol Center Patty Griffin is among the most consequential singer-songwriters of her generation, a quintessentially American artist whose wide-ranging canon incisively explores the intimate moments and universal emotions that bind us together. Over the course of two decades, she has crafted nine classic studio albums and two live collections, a remarkable body of work-in-progress that prompted the New York Times to hail her for “writing cameo-carved songs that create complete emotional portraits of specific people…her songs have independent lives that continue in your head when the music ends.”

She will perform at the Capitol Center for the Arts (CCA) in Concord, New Hampshire on Sunday, July 22 at 7:30 pm.

Opening for Griffin is Anais Mitchell. Based in Austin, TX, Griffin made an instant mark with her 1996

debut, Living With Ghosts, and its 1998 follow-up, Flaming Red – both now considered seminal works of modern folk and Americana. She has since received a number of prestigious accolades, notably the Americana Music Association’s “Artist of the Year” and “Album of the Year” (for 2007’s GRAMMY®-nominated Children Running Through) as well as the 2011 GRAMMY® Award for “Best Traditional Gospel Album,” honoring 2010’s Downtown Church.

According to NPR Music, “[Anais Mitchell’s] voice is soft and sweet, her guitar work deft and evocative, but [she] is a songwriting storyteller first and foremost. [Mitchell] possesses a warm and ingratiating style to go with her evocative, impeccably crafted lyrics.”

Wolfeboro Theater Group Celebrating With A Busy July There were years spent rehearsing in church basements and putting on performances in local schools. There were props and costumes stored in storage units and homes all over the Wolfeboro area.

The beginning of the Village Players may have been humble, but from the beginning it was a community theater, organized and run by a group of people who loved theater and wanted to bring productions to the Wolfeboro area on a regular basis.

And while much has changed in the last 40 years, one thing that has remained is the fact that the Village Players are still a community theater, run and organized by locals who love theater.

As the Village Players celebrate their 40th year, the group is planning a number of events in July to help commemorate, capped off by the annual summer show the final weekend of the month.

The Village Players as they are known today put on their first show in 1978, a review titled “Yesteryears of Broadway” and shows have been going on ever since, though the locales and the circumstances have certainly changed.

The Village Players performed shows at the Masonic Lodge, Carpenter School and Kingswood Regional High School and held rehearsals in All Saints Episcopal Church, the Helping Hand Hall in Mirror Lake and local elementary schools. The stage equipment and props were stored in a local barn, while costumes were stored in attics and closets throughout the area until a donated storage unit became their home. The group built sets and moved them into a borrowed space just before the show.

Now, the Village Players own the former Masonic Hall on Glendon Street, thanks to a lot of fundraising over the years and the building has been the home for countless productions since they purchased it in the mid-1990s.

Over the years, countless actors and actresses have plied the boards at the Village Players Theater, leaving a legacy of incredible shows and memorable moments behind them.

But over the years, what sticks out to many members is the “community” aspect of the Village Players Theater.

“It is that people from five to 85, on pretty much an equal footing, can participate together to create something that other people enjoy,” said original member Carol Bense, when asked what was most important to her about the Village Players. “There are very

few other opportunities for folks of all ages and backgrounds to work together and respect one another’s contribution to the whole.”

“In short, when I’m not spending time at home with my family or running my business, I find myself at the Village Players Theater,” said Christian Boudman, who joined the group in 2009. “My wife, Bobbi, could say the same thing.”

“I had no way of knowing it then, but VP has absolutely shaped my belief that if you expect greatness from others, you’ll get it, while at the same time challenging me to be sure to give everyone a chance,” said Erin (Heppe) Dauphinais, who was in her first production as a youngster in the 1980s and recently returned to the theater for last fall’s Music Man production.

“VP never once made me feel like an “inferior” member because I was a student – they continued to believe in me, giving me amazing opportunities to grow and develop in the performing arts, and more importantly in character.

I learned I could do anything, be anything, no matter what and that whatever we put our mind to could be professional and of the highest of quality.”

And the Village Players are asking the community to join in as the group celebrates its 40th season with a number of events planned in July.

The month starts out as every July does in Wolfeboro with the Fourth of July parade. The Village Players are planning on an entry in the parade celebrating 40 years of shows.

Saturday, July 14, the public is invited to attend a comedy performance from mind-reader and comedian Peter Gross, who promises to bring an entertaining evening of fun to the Village Players stage.

His shows feature plenty of audience participation, spontaneity and memorable moments, so every show is unique and tickets will be available

soon at Black’s Paper and Gifts in downtown Wolfeboro for this show.

The 40th anniversary fun will continue the following weekend with the continuation of the monthly movie series, with the hilarious Blazing Saddles on the big screen. The Village Players added movies to the repertoire a few years ago and have been screening classics and blockbusters every month since, with special introduction by the group’s own Mr. Movie, Jim Adams.

The screenings are set for 8 pm on July 20 and 21.

The month will wrap up with the theater’s summer production of Ken Ludwig’s The Fox on the Fairway, directed by longtime Village Player Bob Tuttle. The show focuses on a

golf club’s tournament against a rival club, with plenty of laughs to be found. Ludwig’s work is well-known to Village Players patrons, as he has written some of the funnier shows the Village Players have performed, including Leading Ladies, Lend Me a Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo.

The Fox on the Fairway opens on Friday, July 27, and also hits the stage on Saturday, July 28, both at 8 pm It continues the next weekend with 8 pm. shows on Friday, Aug. 3, and Saturday, Aug. 4, and a 2 pm show on Sunday, Aug. 5.

Members have found fun in every aspect of the Village Players over the years but have also enriched their own lives.

“I have been very fortunate to have been involved with the Village Players for the last 37 years,” said the venerable Willie Mork. “I’ve made lifelong friends. I’ve derived so much enjoyment from being part of something fun and worthwhile.”

“The Village Players has given me a community of friends that I have both in and out of the theatre,” said Cate Poole, who came to the Village Players in 2011. “Once you’ve worked on a • Village Players Continued on page 34

“I have received some of the greatest advice, had the best of laughs, cried on the shoulders of peers, played music, acted out roles of a lifetime, and shared all of that with my children at The Village Players,” said Megan Rohrbacher, who came to the Village Players with her family as a youngster in the 1990s. “Some of the best friendships have grown out of being a Village Player.”

And the Village Players continue to look forward and welcome the community to join them in that future.

“At times it is tough, but the people you meet along the way will change your life for the better, forever,” said Jay Sydow, who first came to the theater in 1999 and has been around ever since.

“Having acted in a couple other places, there isn’t anything like VP people,” said Paul Stewart, who came

to the theater in 2011. “VP is family.”

“We live far from any extended family and from the very beginning of our involvement, members of the Village Players have held that role in our lives,” said Phoebe VanScoyGiessler, who came to the theater in the early 2000s and has performed with both her husband, Scott, and son, Elliot, on the Village Players stage.

“Carol Bense hosted a baby shower for us when I was pregnant with our eldest, Tom. I remember the ways we came together as a VP family when members suffered the loss of loved ones, fires, or illness. The building is great, the shows are great … it’s the people who keep us coming back.”

As the Village Players celebrate 40 years in Wolfeboro, they invite the public to come and be a part of the celebration. Check out village-players. com for more information.

And remember that community theater is nothing without the community.

Wright Museum of World War II presents The Forgotten War: Korea 1950 The Wright Museum of WWII in Wolfeboro will host the photographic exhibition, “The Forgotten War: Korea 1950” from June 24 to August 12.

The exhibit features 35 remarkable photos by Max Desfor, and originally opened in Seoul in 2014 and traveled throughout Korea, where more than 250,000 people viewed the images.

Desfor was an Associated Press (AP) photographer covering WWII and other events in troubled parts of the world. To show its appreciation for his challenging work, the Associated Press assigned him to Florida in 1950 as a staff photographer. Instead, he chose to cover the Korean War. Desfor remembered that his AP boss predicted the Korean conflict, “Won’t last more than two weeks.” Desfor spent three dangerous years in Korea, from 1950 to 1953. Using a Graflex camera, he captured the people’s plight and the world of American soldiers who fought in that war. Although he was a professional photographer, Desfor lived like a soldier, suffering in the extreme cold and witnessing the

images with his camera.

Desfor remembered making his best photos when the North Korean army took the city of Pyongyang. To avoid capture, Desfor and his reporter fled town and made it over the Yalu River on a pontoon bridge in a jeep driven by a signal corps photographer.

Immediately after crossing, he looked to his right and saw an old bridge

covered with people. The bridge had been destroyed during bombing, yet people were crawling over the bridge to escape the North Korean army. Climbing a ridge, he found an overlook. Conserving his 4×5 Pan X 100 ASA film, he made just a handful of images in the freezing weather.

“We invite all to take this rare opportunity to see these iconic images of what has been called a ‘Forgotten War,’” said Michael Culver, executive director of the museum. “This is a war in which almost 40,000 Americans died and more than 100,000 were wounded.”

While covering the Korean War, 20 of Desfor’s photographs were submitted by the AP for consideration by the Pulitzer Prize Committee. Desfor was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1951.

After this ‘Forgotten War,’ the photographer went on to cover Vietnam and President Richard Nixon’s 1976 trip to China. In 1978, he left the AP to become a photo editor at U.S. News & World Report. A year later, he was named director of photography.

Max Desfor died on February 19, 2018, in Silver Spring, Maryland. He was 104 years of age.

The Wright Museum is open daily through Oct. 31 from 10 am to 4 pm, Monday through Saturday and noon to 4 pm on Sunday. For more information, visit www.wrightmuseum.org.

Alexandria and Danbury Buildings Added to NH State Register of Historic Places The New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources is pleased to announce the State Historical Resources Council has added eight properties to the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places.

The State Register has helped to promote the significance of many historic properties across New Hampshire. Benefits of being listed on the State Register include: 1. Acknowledgment of a property’s historical significance in the community.

2. Special consideration and relief from some building codes and regulations, and Designation of a property as historical, which is a pre-qualification for many grant programs, including Conservation License Plate grants and New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) grants.

The following are the most recent additions to the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places: Alexandria Town Hall’s Craftsman details are unusual both in Alexandria and among New Hampshire town halls.

The hall has served the needs of local organizations, including the Cardigan Grange, from the time it was built in 1913. It remains the site of the town’s deliberative session and town meeting.

The George Gamble Library in Danbury combines Colonial Revival and Queen Anne style architectural details; its rusticated concrete block exterior, stucco pediment and original double-leaf wood paneled doors are among its original, well-preserved features. Built in 1911, it continues to serve Danbury’s literary needs today.

St. John’s United Methodist Church was the largest house of worship in Jefferson when it was built in 1868; members built three smaller chapels to accommodate the region’s summer

visitors. Originally painted red, the Italianate style building remains nearly unchanged on the outside and is now home to the town’s historical society.

One of the earliest Colonial Revival churches in Belknap County, the First Unitarian Universalist Church in Laconia is also considered one of the finest. Built in 1939 to 1940, its central square tower, shallow projecting front pavilion, small portico and octagonal belfry distinguish this local landmark.

Since 1929, Parlin Field Hangar has been part of Newport’s Corbin Field, one of 12 municipally-owned general aviation airports in New Hampshire.

The hangar is an example of a prefabricated metal utilitarian building that rose in use and popularity during the early days of airplane travel.

Joined by a circa 1912 ell, Wilmot Town Hall and the District 1 Schoolhouse have served multiple functions in Wilmot for more than 100 years. While the white clapboarded Town Hall is fairly plain, the schoolhouse – which became the town library in the early 1970s – has Greek

Anyone wishing to nominate a

property to the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places must research the history of the nominated property and document it on an individual inventory form from the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources.

New Hampshire’s Division of Historical Resources, the State Historic Preservation Office, was established in 1974 and is part of the N.H. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

NHDHR’s mission is to preserve and celebrate New Hampshire’s irreplaceable historic resources through programs and services that provide education, stewardship, and protection. For more information on nominating a property, visit www. nh.gov/nhdhr or call 603-271-3483.

New Hampshire libraries will pump up the volume in the coming months for this year’s Summer Reading Program theme, “Libraries Rock!”

Library patrons statewide will be invited to make musical instruments, write songs, learn about music from different countries and be inspired by musicians of all kinds. Books, magazines, movies and more are available for patrons looking for new ways to experience music.

The State Library’s “Kids, Books and the Arts” grant program will fund special events by juried performers at libraries across the state, making the “Libraries Rock” theme even more fun.

Designed to help strengthen literacy skills in young people of all ages, the Summer Reading Program lays the groundwork for preschoolers to become lifelong readers and learners, helps elementary school children develop positive attitudes about reading, and strengthens the high level of literacy that teens need for higher education and future employment.

Students who read at least four books over the summer fare better on reading comprehension tests in the fall than their peers who read one or no books.

Nine out of ten kids say they are more likely to finish a book they’ve picked out themselves; summer Reading Program participants may choose to read whichever books they want, including those not related to the “Libraries Rock” theme.

The New Hampshire State Library promotes excellence in libraries and library services to all New Hampshire residents, by assisting libraries and the people of New Hampshire with rapid access to library and informational resources through the development and coordination of a statewide library/information system; by meeting the informational needs of New Hampshire’s state, county and municipal governments and its libraries; and by serving as a resource for New Hampshire.
