Visit the Blue Heron House and Trail in Effingham

By Sarah Wright Photo courtesy Green Mountain Conservation Group I love being outside in nature, whether alone or with my kids. Spring is upon us, and that means we’ll be hitting the trails again, trekking out into the woods for a much-needed dose of natural exploration. Many studies have shown that spending time in natural surroundings improves one’s well being. Even Einstein said, “Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better.” You could say that it puts things in perspective. Every year, I look for new areas to explore, and this year, we’ll be checking out the recently opened Blue Heron House at Patricia & Charles H. Watts II Conservation Center in Effingham.

The Green Mountain Conservation Group celebrated the grand opening of their new home at the Blue Heron House on Saturday, July 21 of last year.

Located directly on the Ossipee River in Effingham, the property of the Blue Heron House at Patricia & Charles H. Watts II Conservation Center includes the Lawrence B. and Jacqueline M. Leavitt Water Resource Center, the Jann Leeming & Arthur Little Community Room, the Stan and Gladys Brown Natural Resource Library, class room, and office space.

The Blue Heron Nature Trail in the surrounding acres currently consists of an easy, quarter-mile walk around a vernal pool and out toward the Ossipee River. Two AmeriCorps members are currently working with The Green Mountain Conservation Group (GMCG) to help implement new trails and extend the trail system so that it loops through several riparian habitats, including the wetland and river bank, in addition to the vernal pool. Beginning this spring, the GMCG is inviting the public to volunteer and help clean up the trails, if interested. Plans also include implementing a kiosk with an interpretive map, as well as placing signs and markers to indicate points of interest and educate hikers about the natural surroundings.

Naturally, Blue Herons have been seen flying overhead above the river, but the property is also home to native species such as the blue spotted salamander, various turtles and frogs, bob

cats, black bears, and a beaver that’s already building a dam on the river. If you enjoy bird watching, sign up for the Blue Heron Bird Club and help collect data for a Cornell program called Project Cedar Watch. If you have an hour to spare, all you have to do is relax and monitor the site’s bird feeders, keeping track of the birds that you see. (Check the event information at www.gmcg. org or call 603-539-1859.) Or you can spend some time in the cozy nature library, perusing books about the natural Lakes Region surroundings, or educating yourself on topics such as land trusts. There is also a small viewing area for watching the library’s DVDs. The Blue Heron House is already hosting educational programs and talks, like a History of Logging presentation this past January. There is also a quarterly newsletter available and plans for summer activities oriented toward families. Upcoming events on the schedule include an Earth Day Celebration on Saturday, April 20 from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. Participate in trail clean-up, crafts, recycled t-shirt bag making, chair decorating, and a picnic with hot dogs, veggie dogs, iced tea, and lemonade. This event is free and great for families.

Then on May 4, from 10 am to noon, join Wetland Scientist Rick Van de Poll at a Vernal Pool Ecology Workshop.

This short workshop will provide an overview of vernal pool ecology, including landscape position, basin characteristics, typical breeding species,

Along Route

and their importance for local and regional biodiversity. Participants will explore the two-year-old vernal pool on the site for evidence of amphibians, fairy shrimp, and other macro-invertebrates that are typically found in such habitats. Get ready to get your hands wet and explore!

On Tuesday, May 14, from 6 to 7 pm, join Harris Center Hawk Watch Coordinator, Phil Brown, for a presentation about Raptor Migration. This talk will be about hawk watching in the state, raptor identification, and species’ natural histories. Phil will discuss what he has learned from observing the fall migration spectacle at Pack Monadnock

Mountain each autumn for the past 14 years, as well as sharing anecdotes from the observatory and handy identification techniques.

The Green Mountain Conservation Group is a community-based, charitable organization dedicated to the protection and conservation of natural resources in the Ossipee Watershed in central Carroll County including the towns of Eaton, Effingham, Freedom, Madison, Ossipee, Sandwich, and Tamworth. GMCG also partners with friends across the border in Parsonsfield, and Porter, Maine through the Saco River Corridor Commission. Founded in 1997, GMCG is also a networking and referral resource for area residents concerned about land use issues in their communities. The organization encourages individual and small group activism based on common sense and science-based approaches to resolving problems.

Support the GMCG and their work, and check out the Blue Heron House and trail, located at 236 Huntress Bridge Road in Effingham. The trail is open from dawn to dusk, and the building is open from 9 am to 4 pm on weekdays (open on weekends during events only). For more information about the group, or to check the event schedule, visit www.gmcg.org or their Facebook page. Welcome spring by venturing out into nature. The sights, sounds, and smells of the season will nurture your soul!

Water Talks Presents “Aquatic Invaders of Maine”

It’s Time for the Great Smith River Canoe and Kayak Race!

There is one sure way to know spring has arrived in New Hampshire, and that is when we spot lots of canoes and kayaks dotting the Smith River on one weekend in May of each year.

The event? The Great Smith River Canoe and Kayak Race - in its 45th year. This year the popular race will take place on Saturday, May 18. The four-mile race includes ¼-mile of class 2 white water and two short portages There are 19 classes, from novice to expert for both canoes and kayaks.

The race starts at 1:15 pm at Albee Beach on Lake Wentworth and finishes at the town docks on Lake Winnipesaukee. It is a great spectator event and you can cheer on your favorite competitors. There will be prizes for the first three finishers in each class. The registration is $20.00 per paddler and there will be free t-shirts for the first 50 entrants. Entry forms are available in Wolfeboro at the Chamber of Commerce or by calling 603-569-5454.

Racers can also register the day of the

race at Albee Beach between 10 am and 12:45 pm. Proceeds from the race are used to support the Lion’s Club’s scholarship fund. In conjunction with the race, there will be a 50/50 raffle the day of the race.

The race has had a youth focus since it started 45 years ago. The competition was created by the Lions Club’s Barry Lougee and Kingswood High School faculty members Arthur Brunt and John Markowicz. (Lougee and Brunt had a mutual interest in canoeing.) The purpose of the Canoe Race was originally to raise tuition funds for local kids that wanted to participate in Outward Bound, an outdoor education program for teens.

Fast forward in time, and today the Lions focus on helping young people meet their higher education goals with scholarship funds raised during the Canoe Race. The race is also a great way for friends to meet in a springtime, celebratory atmosphere in Wolfeboro.

Due to the success of last year’s “Water Talks”, the Acton/Wakefield Watersheds Alliance (AWWA), the Gafney Library in Sanbornville, NH and the Acton Public Library in Acton, Maine have joined together again this year for a new round of “Water Talks”, a free series of presentations by experts in their fields. The location will alternate between the Wakefield Opera House at 2 High Street in Sanbornville and the Acton Town Hall. Light refreshments will be served at the programs..

Plan to attend the second talk in the series on April 17 at 2 pm at the Acton Town Hall. Christine Guerette of Lake Stewards of Maine will present “Aquatic Invaders of Maine”. She will answer the question, what happens when a plant or animal that does not belong in our lakes or streams ends up there either intentionally or by accident? The economic and environmental impacts can be devastating, changing the nature of a lake completely.

Once an invader is well established, eradication is extremely difficult and costly, if not impossible.

Christine’s talk will provide an overview of invasive species in Maine, answering questions such as what makes a species invasive? How do aquatic invaders spread? How is Maine responding to this threat? What can each of us do to help protect waters from aquatic

invaders?

The next two Water Talks will be as follows: May 8 at 2 pm, Wakefield Opera House, Don Kretchmer of DK Water Resources Consulting will speak about local fish.

June 12 at 2 pm, Acton Town Hall, Pam Hunt of NH Audubon will speak about dragonflies and damselflies.

The Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance, a non-profit established in 2005, is dedicated to protecting and restoring the water quality of the lakes, ponds, rivers and streams of Wakefield, NH and the border region of Acton, Maine.

Visit www.awwatersheds.org or find the Alliance on Facebook.

The Gafney Library serves the towns of Wakefield and Brookfield, NH and looks forward to presenting the series of educational, relative and informative talks to its residents. Visit www. gafneylibrary.org or find the library on Facebook.

The Acton Public Library is a 501(c) (3), located in a quaint one-room school house serving the town of Acton with summer reading programs for all ages, seasonal FUNdraisers and more.

Have Chef - Will Travel Fun and Simple Ball Park Recipes

By Chef Kelly Ross A sure sign that spring is officially here, although Mother Nature is still unsure herself, is the start of baseball season as The Sox defend their World Series Championship. Opening Day at Fenway Park was something I made a ritual of, first when I lived in North Conway, and even more so once I moved to the Lakes Region. It has been a few years since I have been down for that special day, but I will always love it.

When most people think about going to Fenway Park, especially when they remember being there as a kid, it is quite often the smell of the sausage subs and roasted peanuts that come to mind. The smells, fascination and anticipation of walking up the ramp into Fenway, then finally seeing that green grass is always an unmistakable feeling, whether you are an adult or a youngster.

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, today’s theme is fun food using a ball park mentality. In the old days, the ball park menu consisted of Fenway Franks, sausage subs, peanuts and pop-

corn. I’ve been lucky enough to visit at least a dozen MLB parks, not to mention a half-dozen minor league parks, and it’s amazing the progress of menus over the years in those venues. Many parks have ethnic stands including taco stands, Asian food, as well as steak and cheese subs, burgers, nachos and ice cream, among others. At games in Seattle and San Francisco, they actually have sushi stands and many amazing options. So today, let’s dabble in a few twists on some of the fan favorites.

Let’s start with a couple hot dog options, since the hot dog is the most fa-

mous ball park staple. I will admit, I’m not a fan of steamed hot dogs, so I usually pass on them for other alternatives.

When doing dogs at home, I prefer to grill them, whether out on the grill or in a pan, but to each their own. Also, I need a grilled New England style two-sided roll. Most go with mustard, relish, ketchup, onions and maybe sauerkraut as possible toppings, so let’s do this with some imagination. I’m going to start with a South of the Border doggie that I usually call a Tortilla Dog. You can either make these in a large, flat-bottomed taco shell, or wrap ev-

erything in a flour tortilla and grill it in a pan. They are both pretty good.

The kids will love the one wrapped in tortilla more so, but you will likely have to eliminate some of the ingredients to make it more kid friendly. One thing I do know is I have made many kids smile wrapping hot dogs in a tortilla with their favorite toppings. It’s a fun meal for the kids. This recipe will make 8 dogs and take about a ½ hour.

Tortilla Dog 8 hot dogs Salt & pepper 2 avocados, pitted, peeled and mashed 1 large tomato, diced, and drained Juice of 2 limes 5 tbsp chopped cilantro 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar ¾ cup salsa ¼ cup jarred jalapenos, chopped ½- ¾ cup sour cream, optional 8 six-inch flour tortillas, or 8 flat bottomed taco shells Let’s start with the guacamole.

Meanwhile, combine the mashed avocado, tomato, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir in the onions and season with salt and pepper. Grill the hot dogs to your liking. If using the flour tortillas, lay them all down and put a line each of salsa and guacamole down the center of each tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border of nothing in the tortilla. Pop a dog on top of the sauces, sprinkle jalapenos over each, and end with the cheese. Roll the tortillas around each wiener, secure with toothpicks. Spray the wrapped tortillas with cooking spray all over them and grill for a few minutes on all sides as best as you can until well browned and crisp. Spread sour cream on them and dig in. I’m not a huge fan of hot dogs in general, but I love this one, and a few other specialty versions. If you prefer using a taco shell, be aware that traditional shells will break if you attempt to stuff a dog inside, so use the larger, flat bottomed shell, and layer the goodies inside as you would any taco.

Here is a quick and easy doggie that is as good as it is quick; it makes 4 dogs.

Bacon Wrapped Cheese Dog 4 hot dogs 4 thick slices cheddar, cut into ½-inch slices 8 slices bacon 4 New England style Frankfurt rolls 1 green onion, thinly sliced ¼ cup diced sweet onion Mustard, relish, and/or ketchup, or any other condiment you like Slice the dogs in half lengthwise.

Put the cheddar slices inside the dogs and wrap each one in 2 slices of bacon.

In one skillet/pan, cook the dogs on a

medium high heat on all sides, turning frequently so all sides get crispy. In a separate pan, grill the buttered rolls on each side to a golden brown, pop in the dog, top with the green and white onions and your favorite condiment and begin to inhale these great franks.

Now let’s move on to a great alternative to the traditional cheeseburger.

You will need a griddle and I guarantee you will enjoy these. This is a Chopped Cheeseburger Sandwich, and again, it is pretty quick and pleasing to the taste buds. The best part is that the cheese is melted into the burger in a wonderful way and it has fun ingredients for extra flavor. As much as I love a great medium-rare burger, there is something about this one that sets it apart. This is for 4 sandwiches.

Chopped Cheeseburger Sandwich 2 tbsp olive oil 1 lb ground beef Salt & pepper 1 sweet onion, diced 1 cup dill pickle chips, chopped 1 cup pickled diced jalapenos 8 strips of cooked bacon, roughly chopped 8 slices of American cheese ¼ cup Dijon mustard 4 butter grilled Kaiser rolls Preheat the griddle to medium-high heat and grease with the oil. Pop on the onions in a single layer and stir occasionally until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Put the burger in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly, and divide into 4 equal piles. Squish them into thin patties, rounding the edges. Place the patties on the griddle and cook for 2 minutes. Flip them. Top each burger equally with the onions and with 1 or 2 spatulas, chop the onions into the burger in a fast motion from each side to get them integrated well. Add pickles and jalapenos and get them involved in the

chopping process. Add the bacon and chop in well. Drizzle the mustard over each, add 2 slices of cheese over each and cover each with a pie tin or something similar to melt the cheese within.

Put the patties on a warm buttered roll.

The combo of flavors in this sandwich with the cheese melted throughout is insanely mouthwatering.

Another classic sandwich you can find at most ball parks and restaurants is the slider. Sliders are a great addition to the culinary world and a tremendous snack. Although sliders have been around since the 1940s, they have really taken off in the last 15 years or so. Originally, sliders were a small hamburger, but have now evolved into many types of small sandwiches. The thing I love about them is that they can be done in dozens of different ways, and the best part is that they are a small-bite kind of thing. Regardless of how hungry you are (or aren’t), sliders work for everyone. Again, between that fact and the versatility of what you can do with them, it’s a no-lose situation. I know they are simple in that most think you can put any sandwich on a dinner roll of sorts and you technically have a slider. As always, I’m a fan of looking outside the box and showing some imagination. This is a favorite of mine to bring to pot luck situations. Sure, a Ham and Cheese Slider sounds basic, but this is all about stepping things up. I promise that anyone who tries this will love it big time. I have actually used these as an appetizer on the holidays early in the afternoon before the big dinner and it’s great at Super Bowl parties or any get-together for that matter. Not as simple as they may sound, but still quick and easy and so darn good.

Ham and Cheese Sliders 1 package Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls

¾ lb thin sliced deli ham of choice ¾ lb thin sliced Swiss cheese ½ cup melted butter 3 tbsp Dijon mustard 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp salt You will need a 7x10x3-inch baking dish for the sliders. Spray the baking dish thoroughly. Take the rolls and slice them traditionally in half in a horizontal fashion. Put the bottom halves on the bottom of the pan. Put half the cheese on the bottom of each roll, add all the ham evenly over the 12 halves, and then the rest of the cheese. Add the tops of the rolls. Boring so far, right?

OK, so now combine the butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt and mustard in a small pan. Mix very well, and pour evenly over the top of all the rolls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours; I do so overnight. Once ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake the rolls for 20 minutes, uncovered, and serve within a few minutes. These are not a normal ham and cheese sandwich, or slider!

Well, all in all, these recipes and the theme of today’s article are not culinary masterpieces by any means, but sometimes it’s all about having fun.

Hey, it is baseball season, and the food at the ball yard is not a 5-star food experience. Granted, what I shared today you won’t see at a ball game, but it is ball park menus that inspired this article. I am confident these recipes will bring a smile to many faces, especially the kids. Next time around, I’ll share some recipes for outdoor barbecues for graduation parties and Memorial Day. Until next time, Ciao My Friends…. and Always Remember, Keep Your Sox On!

House of Hamill to Bring Folksy Sounds to Sandwich The unique and entertaining sounds of House of Hamill will kick off the 2019 Concert Series at the Arts Center at 12 Main Street in Center Sandwich.

The concert will take place on Friday, April 19 at 7:30 pm. Admission is a $15 suggested donation. Refreshments will be available by donation.

House of Hamill musicians Rose Baldino and Brian Buchanan met 10 years ago backstage late one night at a theatre in rural Pennsylvania. Brian’s band, Enter the Haggis and Rose’s group, Burning Bridget Cleary, were sharing a stage that evening, and the two bonded over a love of Irish fiddle tunes, Radiohead, and 4 am whiskey.

Their paths crossed a dozen times over the next decade on the road, but it wasn’t until the Folk Alliance 2014 conference in Kansas City that they finally became musical collaborators, forming House of Hamill.

Both Baldino and Buchanan are

House of Hamill (Courtesy Photo) accomplished traditional fiddle players and classical violinists, with over

25 years of writing and performance experience between them. Together,

they write unusual new fiddle tunes and exciting, unpredictable original songs while breathing new life into traditional and contemporary songs. Both are confident and unique lead vocalists, and the blend of their two voices in harmony is hypnotic and irresistible, making the House of Hamill on the cutting edge of a new generation of traditional musicians. Whether playing songs from their debut album, “Wide Awake” (2016) or stomping through a set of original jigs and reels from their follow-up “March Through Storms” (2018), their chemistry onstage is always engaging and often hilarious.

The Concert Series at the Arts Center at 12 Main Street is sponsored and hosted by Advice To The Players.

The Concert Series hosts weekly concerts in the summer, and intermittent concerts through the fall, winter, and spring. Admission and donations support the arts, the artists and the venue.

Wright Museum Honors American Legion 100th Anniversary The Wright Museum of World War II in Wolfeboro will honor the 100th anniversary of American Legions by offering free admission to any card-carrying member on May 1, which is opening day for its 2019 season.

“Free admission is just a small token of our gratitude to these service members.”

For the past 25 years, the Wright Museum has served as the region’s leading resource for educators and learners of all ages on World War II. With nearly 20,000 visitors a year, Culver said the Wright has been a place respected by

Commander of Alton American Legion and Wright volunteer, Marty Chabot, thinks the promotion is, “a great way to say, ‘thank you’ to veterans, and it is a good way to promote the museum as well.”
