Having a Blast Behind the Scenes

By Thomas P. Caldwell

Pyrotechnists — those brave souls who risk potentially serious injuries to put on a great fireworks show — do it for something more than the pay, for the money does not adequately compensate for the time involved; and they do it for something more than the glory, for they are mostly unknown to the crowds who come for the Fourth of July or other community celebrations.

“Other than the company owners, I don’t know anyone who would do this for the money,” said Charlie St. Clair, a pyrotechnist who puts on the annual fireworks shows in Ashland, Gilford, Weirs Beach, and Wolfeboro.

“The payoff for me and my crew is the satisfaction of having a happy crowd, and hearing people cheering.”

St. Clair, who has been involved in area fireworks for 44 years, said a typical show may last 15 or 20 minutes, but for the crew working the event, there is another eight to 10 hours setting it up, and, once the crowds are gone, the crew is still on the scene, breaking it all down.

Because Independence Day creates the biggest demand for fireworks, crews such as St. Clair’s find themselves very busy over the Fourth of July Weekend, with little time between shows. The Weirs Beach fireworks display in Laconia begins at midnight on the Fourth, so the crew is setting it up on

Wednesday, July 3, and breaking it down in the wee hours of Thursday, July 4. Then, it’s on to Wolfeboro later that morning to prepare for the fireworks show over Wolfeboro Bay at dusk on the Fourth. After breaking down that display, the crew has a few hours of rest before setting up the show at L.W. Packard Field in Ashland where that town’s fireworks display takes place at 9:30 p.m. on Friday, July 5.

The other show St. Clair’s crew puts on is the fireworks display for Gilford’s Old Home Day celebration, this year taking place on Saturday, Aug. 24.

St. Clair especially enjoys the Wolfeboro and Gilford shows because they are still able to shoot up to eightinch shells at those events. Recent rules put in place the State Fire Marshal’s Office have limited the size of other displays because of the proximity of the crowds to the staging area.

While those rules limit Ashland’s display to six-inch shells, St. Clair still counts Ashland among his favorite venues because that town’s celebration has an old-fashioned flavor that a couple of years ago earned his show a vote as the most-popular fireworks display in the state. St. Clair finds that especially gratifying since his shows are hand-fired, as opposed to computercontrolled.

“A lot of people can’t believe that we

use flairs,” St. Clair said, explaining that most modern pyrotechnists have never even heard of doing a show that way.

He explained that the computercontrolled displays that are so popular today are setups on trailers that are fixed to the ground, and the technician

fires the shells by pressing a button on a console — often a program synchronized to music. In contrast, the shows that St. Clair has been putting on since he was an apprentice pyrotechnist involve building racks in which the charges are lashed together; rigging a series of pipes for firing the shots; or creating set pieces like flags or battleships.

His favorite setups are holes dug into beach sand. “There’s more leeway with those,” he said.

The latter explains his attraction of Weirs Beach; that and the fact that St. Clair got his start there.

As a teenager, St. Clair spent as much time as he could at Weirs Beach and fireworks were a big part of that experience. At that time, the beach was larger, extending right up to the boardwalk, so the crowd could look down from the boardwalk and watch the fireworks crew at work.

“Growing up, being exposed to fireworks, I happened to ask a gentleman that was on the beach if he needed some help with the fireworks, and he asked me what my experience was at digging holes,” St. Clair said.

“That was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. I’ve been with [Atlas Advanced Pyrotechnics] since 1969.”

He continued, “Atlas is a good company to work for, although I don’t know how much longer I’ll be doing it.

I’ve watched people come and go, and there are a lot of good people I worked under.”

One of those was the late Roger Mayer, who was a member of the Laconia Fire Department. “He came on the job while I was training, and I worked under him for a long time. He taught me a lot about the profession, and a lot about safety.”

Because of that training and his long history with fireworks, St. Clair has some very strong opinions about safety and the recent rule changes that have been imposed on fireworks in the name

ROCHESTER - FOSTERS DAILY DEMOCRAT

• Having A Blast Continued from page 3

of safety. “The ‘experts’ very rarely talk to people in the field,” St. Clair said. “Public safety is and should be the biggest concern of a professional pyrotechnic, as it is with the Fire Marshal’s Office. I just disagree with some of the rules they’ve put in place in the last several years. Those rules have caused the shows at The Weirs and Ashland to be restricted to much smaller shells — and I find that interesting, given the whole direction of Class C fireworks in sales to the public.”

Professional fireworks that are restricted to those licensed to handle them are classified as “B” while Class C fireworks are smaller and are considered safe for the public. Rules governing Class C fireworks have been broadened in recent years, allowing members of the public who meet certain age restrictions to buy larger firecrackers and rockets that once were banned.

“Some of those Class C fireworks can give good competition to those professional shows limited to threeinch shells,” St. Clair said.

“I don’t take Class B fireworks lightly,” he added; “it’s a serious occupation. There’s no such thing as injury-free fireworks, whether using computers or flairs. But even Class C fireworks should be handled with tender, loving care.”

He also has reservations about barge shows. “As the rules change and size becomes an issue, many crews have

Page 5 Despite all those negatives, St. Clair is bullish on fireworks, saying people love to hear the explosions.

“Color is always nice,” he said, “but the explosions get the people on their feet, especially during the grand finale.

They still love the loud noise.”

So what is involved in a fireworks display?

“Hundreds of shells,” St. Clair said, explaining that they are labeled so the shooter will know what color they will be. “We like to mix things up by sizes.”

While Atlas used to make its own shells at the Jaffrey headquarters, now most of the shells come from overseas: China, England, Italy. “But my favorite shells are American-made,” St. Clair said.

While he has done one show alone — in Pittsfield a number of years ago — St. Clair said he typically has a crew of six. “When I did that show alone, the pressure was extreme,” he noted.

While places like Hampton Beach still have the large shows that St. Clair remembers seeing when he was younger, he said, “I recommend that people go to the local shows and support them. In Ashland, people arrive during the afternoon to get a good seat, and they stay there. There is entertainment until the fireworks begin; things are going on all the time.”

There are plenty of opportunities to see fireworks over the Fourth of July and all through the summer in the DiningOutNH.com Lakes Region. There is sure to be a show near you.

• Having A Blast Continued from page 4 moved to barges,” St. Clair said. When asked whether that would be more dangerous to those firing the shells, St. Clair said, “I won’t comment on that ... but I won’t do barge shows.”

St. Clair also noted that, when he started out, pyrotechnists had to serve as apprentices for two years before being certified. Now the technicians must take a written test and work with a company until the firm signs off on them, “and that’s that”. Asked whether that is a change for the better, St. Clair merely shrugged his shoulders.

Then there is the requirement that the local fire department must have a detail on hand from the time the fireworks are brought in until the show is over. “I was told to stay out of that fight,” St. Clair said, “but I do question the need for it.”

He said that, while it makes sense to have a crew on hand during the show, he doesn’t understand why they need to be there from the time of delivery.

“If that’s such an issue, why not have a paid escort and shut down the highways while they’re being transported?”

The new rules are not the only problems for fireworks displays, St. Clair said, noting that shows such as Wolfeboro’s cost around $10,000. “It’s hard for the Weirs Action Committee to raise the money to do weekly fireworks shows,” he said. “People don’t donate like they used to.”

Additionally, the cost of insurance and permits continues to rise.

Diner Tour

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper What a Laker dream story! When I received the schedule of summer story assignments for The Laker in the spring, I was excited to see that Diner Tour made the list.

Ahhh … diners. The word evokes thoughts of bullet-shaped eateries, lots of chrome and great signs. And, of course, solid, home-cooked food served up by fast-moving, coffeepouring waitresses.

Those images were becoming a thing of the past until the recent revival of

diners, but some of the assumptions we have about diners hold true today.

Diners are all about history, whether from the 1930s or ’40s or ’50s. They bring back memories of a simpler way of life when no one worried about how many calories a hamburger might hold or how other diners would view us if we ordered extra whipped cream on our homemade pie.

I have always loved diners, probably because I love old movies. Give me a black-and-white, 1940s film with Bogie gulping down his coffee while perched on a diner counter stool “putting the

heat” on a waitress he calls “Doll”.

Those old films were full of wisecracking detectives and waitresses and diners and I just loved the atmosphere in the movies.

As I headed out to complete my Diner Tour assignment, I knew I was in for a real treat. I started with that most beloved of Lakes Region diners, the Union Diner at 1331 Union Avenue in

Laconia. Historically, the Union Diner opened June 2009 in an authentic 1951 Worcester dining car with an attached dining room filled with vintage ’60s and ’70s music memorabilia. The diner has had various owners over the years and today retains a lot of its lunch

After my Tilt’n Diner stop, I drove through Tilton and Franklin and followed Route 3A north to sample diner food at the Bristol Diner. I grew up in Bristol, so I know this diner quite well. When I was in high school, it was a great place for an after-school snack and also was the place I went on Sunday mornings with my Dad for coffee and diner socializing.

The Bristol Diner has been around a long time; my mother worked there as a waitress in the 1940s and she used to recall the starched, matching uniforms they wore and being taught to wait on tables “the correct way”. The diner has always been located right beside the bridge that spans the Newfound

I chose to sit at the counter to get the full effect of the diner culture and I didn’t have long to wait before I overheard a few local customers, also seated at the counter, discussing the weather and lots of other topics.

Because it was breakfast time, I ordered coffee and eggs and bacon … all were served up fast and were delicious.

Back on the road, I decided to do a “diner tour loop” taking me on Laconia Road to the Tilton area from Laconia. No diner trek is complete without a stop at the Tilt’n Diner at 61 Laconia Road in Tilton. The diner has it all, from a 1950s light pink exterior to signs inviting the public to sample “real food”.

The Tilt’n Diner is a traditional ’50s-style diner with décor in keeping with the era. From the moment I parked my car outside, I felt as if I had, indeed,

The menu graphics feature cute clip art from the 1950s and everything is very authentic. The pace is fast, as it was with old-time diners when customers expected a cheap, delicious meal served quickly so they could get back

to their job. It was mid-morning by the time I took my seat at the counter. The menu had everything, from a classic burger to diner-titled meals such as the Cadillac (eggs, bacon, and pancakes) to the Doo Wop (eggs and bacon) to desserts featuring lots of pie. I chose

Tilt’n Diner, Tilton, NH • Day Tripping Continued from page 7 River leading into town. It is an allAmerican diner with a curved ceiling and a long counter; a dining room was added some years ago. (Historical information claims the diner was built in 1926 and was called a Pollard diner.

Other information mentioned that as early as 1930 the eatery was known as the Bristol Diner and was a thriving business.)

The eatery has changed ownership and business names over the years, but has always been known by many as the Bristol Diner (locals simply call it “the diner”). When I stopped in, it was lunchtime, so I had the perfect excuse to perch on a counter stool and indulge in a mid-day meal. The menu offers daily specials as well as diner fare — burgers, fries, desserts, etc. I chose the hamburger with fries and a coke — a standard menu choice for a diner! The talk by the locals at the counter was interesting and ranged from politics to who just got married

to the work being done on the roads in the area. It is always a joy to listen in on these conversations and it gives a glimpse into the lives of other people that cannot be beat.

After the filling lunch, I headed out of Bristol on Route 104 toward Laconia. In New Hampton, I knew I just had to stop at the Route 104 Diner.

The business opened some years ago as Bobby’s Girl Diner. Later, it changed ownership and today it is the Route 104 Diner. This diner is an architectural gem that salutes the 1950s. From the neon sign at the edge of the parking lot to the atmosphere once you step in the door, it’s Elvis, Marilyn, and James Dean time warp all the way! (There is also an Airstream Ice Cream stand on the property open during the summer.)

The diner is a classic Worcester Diner Car and also has a good-sized dining room (booths and a counter are in the diner portion). This time I chose to sit at a booth because I love to

• Day Tripping Continued from page 8 people-watch as I eat. There was a lot of activity in the diner, and the parking lot was bustling with people stopping to eat and a few even snapping photos of the colorful outside sign and the sleek diner building.

I decided to finish off my diner tour (and add a few more pounds!) by ordering a hot fudge sundae. I listened to classic music as I worked my way through the smooth hot fudge, the creamy vanilla ice cream and the mounds of whipped cream. I really felt

as if I had stepped back into the 1950s when hot rods, poodle skirts, and Elvis ruled the land.

After this dream Laker story assignment, I vowed I would not eat for a week! It was worth the trek, however.

Diner food may not be gourmet fare, but it is the kind of food most of us love: mashed potatoes, fries, burgers, homemade soups, pies and ice cream … and lots of hot coffee and sodas.

There are many other diners in the area, such as Plain Jane’s in Rumney, the beautiful Main Street Station diner in Plymouth’s downtown, and others out of the area such as in Littleton. But those diners are a story for another day.

Questions with Amy Landers, Promoting the Lakes Region

H

1

ow long have you lived in New Hampshire and what brought you here?

“I was born in the Lakes Region and stayed here until I graduated from high school. Then I went to Chamberlain College/Mount Ida for an associate’s degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management. After that, I transferred to the University of New Hampshire to earn my bachelor’s degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management.”

2 H

ow did you get interested in promoting tourism?

“During my last semester at college, we had a guest speaker in one of my classes. Her name was Beth Steucek. At the time, she was with the NH Lodging and Restaurant Association. I asked her if I could volunteer in her office. I began with a six-month contract doing sales and this led into developing a full-time job.”

3

W

hat is your professional background in the tourism industry?

“I worked for the NH Lodging and Restaurant Association for seven years.

After that I worked at the Capitol Center for the Arts for a year setting up their Group Sales Department. Then I took the executive director position at the Lakes Region Tourism Association. That was14 years ago.”

4 C

an you describe your job at Lakes Region Tourism Association, because it is a big job and people may not know what it takes to run such a large business that is a tourism/business leader?

“As the executive director, I am responsible for overseeing the entire organization, which involves providing guidance and direction to the board of directors; implementing the goals and objectives of the board of directors; developing and overseeing the budget; overseeing the development and implementation of grants; putting on two major fundraisers; membership and advertising sales; partnership and community relations; monitoring legislative activities; developing and implementing a domestic and international marketing plan that utilizes a variety of tools and strategies, including updated technology that reaches the region’s current target markets; [and] overseeing and operating two visitor centers and distribution of 800,000 publications.”

5 W

hat are the challenges of working for an organization that must constantly serve the public and businesses in the Lakes Region?

“Trying to do the best job possible with a small staff and limited non-profit budget.”

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Promoting the Lakes Region is a big job. It means managing a variety of tasks, from networking with businesses of all kinds to overseeing social media to attending public relations events and activities. Amy Landers, executive director of the Lakes Region Tourism Association, does all that and a lot more on a day-to-day basis.

6 W

hat sort of people come to the Lakes Region Tourism Association office for information?

“The visitor center is busy in the summer — the majority of visitors are coming from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, and New Jersey. In the late summer and fall, we see guests coming internationally.”

7

W

here do you think the Lakes Region will be in the future, say, 10 years from now?

“In the past 14 years, I have seen the Association grow in so many different ways to become a much stronger, more vibrant organization.

I hope to see this growth continue as we become financially stronger, have a larger membership base and enhanced marketing and strong partnerships in the community and outside of the state. And I envision continuing to provide the best marketing plan to have an economic impact on our member businesses 365 days a year.”

8 W

hat do you do in your free time to unwind and get away from the tourism industry?

“I ride my Harley to work — I love the wind in my hair!

Otherwise I have six little children and we love outdoor recreation year-round. We love swimming, tubing, hiking, biking, and entertaining and, in the winter, we ski, ice fish, and go sledding. As you can see, these are all activities we do right here in the Lakes Region!”

9 W

hat do you love about the Lakes Region and what keeps you here?

“The people are what keep me working in the Lakes Region.

We work with so many wonderful people and businesses that all care, help each other, and work together to make the Lakes Region the best location for a vacation, to live and to work. I am fortunate to have a great staff and members who care about their businesses and our association and a strong board of directors that wants to see the region thrive.”

10 W

hy do you think the Lakes Region remains so very popular?

“It is popular because of the varied outdoor recreation, the scenic beauty, the lakes, the tax-free shopping, the friendly people, the family-owned and -operated businesses, and the diversity of things to do.”

Partnership Raising $1.8 Million To Buy 950 Mountain Acres The Society for the Protection of NH forests and the Lakes Region Conservation Trust, with support from other members of the Belknap Range Conservation Coalition, are working to raise $1.8 million by Dec. 1 to purchase and protect four key properties — about 950 acres — being sold by separate landowners.

One of the parcels, 331 acres that include parts of four recreational trails, is in Gilford’s Moulton Valley and on the slope of Piper Mountain.

The other three are on or near Mount Major.

Mount Major is on the eastern end of the Belknap Range. The state owns the Route 11 parking area and the summit (the 60-acre Mount Major State Forest). The land in

between is private.

“For thousands of people around the region, Mount Major was the first mountain they climbed, and they’ve since climbed it many times and with their children and grandchildren,” said Don Berry, president of the Lakes Region Conservation Trust. “If these lands are sold or transferred, the owners could cut off the access and the recreational opportunities and the wildlife habitat may disappear as well.”

A successful fundraising campaign would ensure that all four properties are kept open to the public for hiking, hunting, snowmobiling, and other recreational activities, and also that they would remain on

Hikers ascend the summit of Mount Major in Alton. The Route 11 parking area and the summit of Mount Major are state-owned, but the land in between is private.

Photo by Jerry and Marcy Monkman / EcoPhotography. the tax rolls of Alton and Gilford once conservation restrictions are in place to protect them. The Trust would own and manage the Gilford parcel while the Forest Society would own and manage the three parcels on or near Mount Major.

“For more than 100 years, the Forest Society has worked to conserve New Hampshire’s most treasured and iconic landscapes, starting with the White Mountains and including Mount Monadnock, Mount Sunapee, Mount Kearsarge and Franconia Notch,” said Jane Difley, president and forester with the Forest Society. “Mount Major and the Belknaps make up another beloved landscape, the beautiful backdrop for Lake Winnipesaukee, and we are excited to be working in partnership with the Lakes Region conservation community to protect it.”

The Forest Society, the Lakes Region Conservation Trust, and other members of the Belknap Range Conservation Coalition view the fundraising effort as a first step in a long-term commitment to conserve

more land in the region. The Belknap Range features large, asyet-unfragmented forests covering more than a dozen mountains, with extensive trail systems and opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, and crosscountry skiing. Besides their recreational, scenic, and habitat value, the forests protect the water quality of Lake Winnipesaukee.

“The Belknaps, along with the Ossipee Mountains and Red Hill, form the natural setting for Lake Winnipesaukee. Protecting these uplands has been an important priority for many years,” Berry said.

The partners hope to raise the money to buy the properties by Dec. 1 so they can begin closing on the purchase and sales agreements that month. “We anticipate being able to announce soon commitments of up to $385,000, leaving $1.12 million still to be raised by Dec. 1,” Difley said.

Playhouse Presents Sherlock Holmes Adventure The world’s greatest detective will make his debut performance at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse this summer with Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure by Steven Dietz, winner of the 2007 Edgar Award for Best Mystery Play. The show will run July 3-13.

In the play, when Holmes has seemingly reached the end of his career, a case presents itself that’s too tempting to ignore. With Doctor Watson at his side, Holmes pursues first the case, then the affections of the beautiful Irene Adler — and in doing so, marches right into the lair of his long-time adversary, Professor

Moriarty.

The spirited, fast-moving, and thoroughly theatrical adaptation has Dietz presenting Holmes at the height of his powers, surrounded by all the elements that fans of his exploits have come to expect: danger, intrigue, wit, humour, and surprise.

Neil Pankhurst, one of the playhouse’s four founding members, will direct the play. The cast comprises familiar faces to playhouse audiences, including Jonathan Weber, Alex Jacobs, Kevin Killavey, Nicholas Wilder, AJ Ditty, Richard Brundage, Rebecca Turner, and Donna Schilke.

“Sherlock Holmes never left the

only woman in Holmes’ life, Irene Adler, is there to not only be saved but to fall in love with also. If you enjoy the Sherlock Holmes genre, you will love this show.”

Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure is recommended for ages 12 and above. Performances are Mondays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee at 2 p.m. on Monday. On Thursday, July 4, there will be a 3 p.m. showing instead of 7:30 p.m. so there will still be plenty of time to see the fireworks.

The Wednesday, July 10, performance will include a postshow discussion and Q & A with the cast and crew.

For tickets and information, call 603-279-0333 or see www. winniplayhouse.org.

public’s imagination since the character was created in the 1890s,” said Paknhurst, “but he probably hasn’t been any more popular in his 125-year history than the past five years. With two films starring Robert Downey Jr., the BBC/PBS series starring Benedict Cumberbatch, the new CBS series Elementary starring Jonny Lee Miller, as well as all the Sherlock connections with the medical drama House, there seems to be more interest than ever in this iconic detective.

“This version of two of Conan Doyle’s stories has all the most important elements and characters one would hope to see in a Sherlock Holmes story. So Holmes’ nemesis Moriarty is there to try to destroy him; his faithful right-hand man, Watson, is there for support; and the

Always a Pleasure To Visit Science Center Article and Photos by Christine H. Randall If I had to pick my favorite New Hampshire outdoor attraction in the Lakes Region, the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness would be one of the top two contenders. It is a place that has successfully combined outdoor fun and environmental education for more than 45 years, with live animal exhibits, hiking trails, numerous educational and informational displays, and loads of interactive, hands-on activities for children. In addition, the science center offers many opportunities to enjoy a

variety of guided pontoon boat tours on nearby Squam Lake.

The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is open daily from May 1 through Nov. 1, and it is a very popular destination for families and individuals, as well as school and summer camp groups. In fact, the science center attracts an average of 25,000 school children and teachers annually, in addition to about 1,500 summer camp visitors every year, so I think it is safe to say that it is usually a very busy place!

Page 33 Also at the start of the Gephardt Exhibit Trail, a small outdoor amphitheatre is the place where science center naturalists give live animal presentations five times per day (11 a.m., noon, 1 p.m., 2 p.m., and 3 p.m.) during the months of July and August.

The presentations, called “Up Close to Animals,” include mammals, birds, and reptiles, and they are included in

• Science Center Continued from page 32 The Welcome Center, which also houses the Howling Coyote Gift Shop, is where you pick up your trail pass and map. The next stop is the Trailhead Gallery, the starting point for the Gephart Animal Exhibit Trail.

At the Trailhead Gallery, there are two live animal exhibits — barred owls and white-footed mice — and an interactive display shows how predators, weather and other environmental factors, and the availability of food have an impact on animal populations in nature. A small room, the Mead Discovery Place, has revolving displays that change every so often; this year, the exhibit is of carved wooden songbirds. The building also houses restrooms as well as the Blue Heron School, a pre-school for children that runs from September to June.

From the Trailhead Gallery, you access the ¾-mile-long Gephart Exhibit Trail, one of the four trails at the science center (the other three are hiking trails of varying degrees

of difficulty). The Gephart Trail is an easy amble, featuring wide, gentle woods paths with strategically placed boardwalks which take you past more than 15 live animal exhibits and informational displays, and it is easily negotiable for people of all ages, as well as strollers and wheelchairs.

Most of the animals featured in exhibits along the Gephart Trail are native to New Hampshire, including black bears, skunks, hawks, bald eagles and vultures, blue jays, deer, bobcats, mountain lions, and otters. Many of the animals at the science center have been orphaned or injured to the point that they would have difficulty surviving on their own in the wild, and the exhibits have been designed to come as close to imitating their natural habitats as possible.

One of the first exhibits is “Life Underground” which is all about ants, earthworms, and other underground life forms. Children really enjoy this small exhibit which features a “chipmunk” tunnel system that they can crawl through.

Turf Talk Brown Lawn Blues

Summer can mean hard times for New England lawns. Hot weather combined with improper mowing can trigger a cascade of turf problems such as weeds, crabgrass, browning and harmful insects.

To immediately protect your lawn and reduce summer browning: Apply liquid compost tea to improve soil health Apply a slow release fertilizer with grub and/or tick protection • Mow high – at least 3”– and mulch your clippings to minimize browning • Don’t mow in the heat of the day • Keep your mower blades sharp • •

Informational signs show that, in the wild, mountain lions are impressively swift runners and jumpers, agile and strong, making them very successful predators. During the months of July and August, you can watch as science center staff members conduct mountain lion training and feeding at noon on Thursdays.

Following along the boardwalk, you quickly arrive at the next exhibit, the deer enclosure, which is a nice, tranquil setting (especially after viewing the bobcats and the mountain lions!).

The mountain lion exhibit is next along the trail and, since the two orphaned cubs were first brought to the science center in 2003 (hard to believe it’s been 10 years!), this exhibit has attracted a lot of awed visitors. The two cute cubs have grown to be very large and intimidating, and one is constantly prowling the perimeter while the other

well as a great viewing spot of the deer feeding station.

One of my favorite exhibits at the science center has always been the river otters. They are so much fun to watch, especially when they are feeling playful and energetic as they swim and dive in the water. A new male otter, which was rescued from the massive Gulf Oil Spill in 2010, has joined the female otter, who was born in captivity and who has been at the science center since 2011. Both are very personable.

I’ve noticed time and time again that the otter exhibit is one of the most popular stops for children and adults, and youths seem to particularly enjoy

sliding down the “otter slide.” You can watch staff members feeding the otters frozen fish balls at 11:30 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

If you want to take a break from the animal exhibit trail, just after the deer exhibit and before the otter exhibit, you can access Kirkwood Gardens, as well as the Squam Lakes Artisans Gallery and the Squam Lakes Café, both of which are housed in an historic building owned by the science center, adjacent to the gardens.

Kirkwood Gardens is a lovely

The Artisans Gallery specializes in hand-crafted artwork and crafts made by local artisans, and it is open daily, from late May through Labor Day weekend, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.

After Labor Day weekend, the Gallery is open from Friday through Monday until Columbus Day Weekend. The Café is be open daily from June 22 to Sept. 2, from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.,

and you can find gourmet snacks, beverages, sandwiches, and ice cream that you can enjoy on the porch or the terrace overlooking the gardens.

The Gardens, the Gallery, and the Café are also accessible directly from Route 3, but you cannot access the science center from the gardens without a paid trail pass.

Back on the Gebhart Animal Exhibit Trail, you come across the Gordon Children’s Activity Center, a two-story building featuring a climbable “spider web” and a “tree,” as well as tunnels, slides, and hands-on, interactive exhibits. It is a very popular place for children of all ages, and there are a

couple of pavilions outside the building for people to rest and relax.

My other favorite exhibit is the bear enclave. The bears, which have their own little natural outdoor pool with a small waterfall, can get quite feisty, but you can safely view the bears from the adjacent bi-level building. For some reason, I never get tired of watching those impressive animals.

The exhibit building also has fun features for children, such as “bear crawl tunnels”, in addition to informational displays about the bears’ natural habitat and information about how to avoid them as unwanted guests in your backyard. There is also an

exhibit about bees in the facility.

The songbird exhibit was changed last season into a blue jay study exhibit, as all the songbirds were rehabilitated and released into the wild. The exhibit also contains information about birds in general and about the common loon.

Another nearby exhibit down the trail features raptors, or “birds of prey,” including vultures (as my stepdaughter used to say, “Mr. and Mrs. Ugly”), bald eagles, kestrels, owls, and hawks. I know that vultures perform a necessary service in the cycle of life,

weeks on Thursdays and Fridays from 1 to 4 p.m. with Peter Pijoan and Ryan Noonan of Wolfeboro Community Television teaching the techniques of operating hand puppets. Students will produce their own puppet production and have a session on mastering movie-making with videography. Participants will take home a DVD of their own puppet production. Both days are recommended but not mandatory and one can take the workshop multiple times. Call the museum for more details.

The museum has expanded the Saturday exploration in watercolor, called Petit Picasso, with an additional class in the afternoon for the intermediate level. Previous students can move up in level and new talent is welcome in the morning class.

For young science and art fans, Chasing Rainbows will explore both. Each class will have a lab or art experience and focus on famous people from both areas. Joanne Parise will guide children through the summer with fun activities focused on Matisse, Isaac Newton,

Thomas Edison, and others. The class is designed for youths ages 8-11.

The museum also will continue its drawing class, leading children into an experience that covers all the basics and is perfect for budding young talent. First a studio experience and a lesson, then out to the museum and its grounds to practice and explore drawing. The class takes place on Friday morning from 10 a.m. to noon.

The museum’s tradition of teaching the youngest children is its Li’l Sprouts program. Susan Berry teaches lessons of peace, awareness, and respect for all through stories and hands-on activities. The class takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon.

Located at 755 North Main Street, Wolfeboro, the Libby Museum has a collection of natural wonders from New Hampshire and around the world. It is open Tuesday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. Call 603-569-1035 or visit www.wolfeboronh.us.

Continuing along the trail, you reach Upper Pond, a nice place to stop and look for turtles and tadpoles. It also is the junction where you can access the three other trails at the science center: the Ecotone Trail, which is a short extension of the Gephart Trail looping through the woods above Marsh Pond; the Forest Trail, which is a 2/3mile trail through the forest; and the Mount Fayal Loop Trail, a mile-long, relatively steep trail that leads to the 1067-foot summit of Mount Fayal and offers views of Squam Lake and the surrounding area.

The Gephart Trail then heads back to the Welcome Center on a section of boardwalk through the marsh, where you can watch marsh birds, look for turtles, and learn about the importance of wetlands in helping to maintain a balanced ecological system for the environment. If you are lucky, you might see some ospreys taking advantage of an osprey nest near the marsh.

A geology exhibit is located adjacent to the wetlands boardwalk, near the start/end of the Gephart Exhibit Trail.

The exhibit features eight to 10 large rocks native to New Hampshire that visitors can touch, as well as a display illustrating the geologic timeline of events, an interpretive panel about the rock cycle, and an interactive panel about the connections of rocks to life.

Back at the Welcome Center, the Howling Coyote Gift Shop is a good

place to find all kinds of educational and nature-related gifts, books, notecards, and souvenirs to commemorate your visit.

The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center also offers a variety of boat tours on nearby Squam Lake on comfortable all-weather pontoon boats. The tours include daily 90-minute scenic cruises exploring the natural and cultural aspects of Squam Lake, late afternoon educational cruises with a naturalist on board, loon cruises in conjunction with the Loon Center, and family-oriented cruises. In addition, on Thursdays from July 11 to Aug. 8, at 5 p.m., the science center joins forces with Walter’s Basin restaurant on Little Squam to offer special dinner and sunset cruises.

All cruises depart from the Walter’s Basin Dock on Route 3 in Holderness.

Schedules and ticket prices for each cruise vary, and advance reservations are required. The science center also offers a special Trail and Cruise Combo Pass.

For more information about schedules and ticket prices, call 603968-7194.

The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is open daily from May 1 to Nov. 1, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is located on Route 113 in Holderness, just outside the center of town.

Admission to the trail system is free to science center members. There are discounts for senior citizens 65 and up, and children between the ages of three and 15, with free admission to those two and under. This season, active members of the military and their immediate families are admitted for free with an active military ID. Pets, except for certified service animals, are not permitted on the trails.

Summer Activities Abound at Prescott Farm

by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper The life of a freelance writer allows for many unusual trips. If I see something interesting, I have been known to make a quick u-turn to backtrack for photos or to explore an unknown shop or other place.

With that in mind, while I was coming home from a morning of yard sales and running errands on a recent, very hot Saturday afternoon, I drove past the Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center on White Oaks Road in Laconia. It was a place I have visited in the past: I have walked the trails in the winter and visited with the staff.

And years ago, I visited the big, white farmhouse when it was the site of a home tour fundraiser.

The property was looking glorious, as usual, with breathtaking views of the fields, surrounding the farm and the mountains and lake in the far distance.

I am not sure what possessed me to pull off and take the entrance road that borders the field before reaching the center’s parking lot. I had places to go and things to do, so the decision to stop was baffling, even to me.

Flowers abound at the Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center in Laconia.

However, the greenery, the trails, the farm atmosphere beckoned and I was admittedly hooked.

After parking in the lot, I realized I was just about the only visitor at

that time (lunch time on a Saturday afternoon). I walked to the visitor center and was greeted by a friendly woman who pointed out various Prescott brochures, including the trail

map flyer. She told me about the trails, the flowers in bloom, and urged me to look around.

I first took the trail that led through the field. I felt I had stepped into a flowery wonder; the tall field grass and beautiful but delicate white flowers covered the hillside. The trail was narrow but well-trodden and led to the farm and barn.

A delightful children’s garden area had been fashioned with branches and rustic wooden seats and tables.

Everything was miniature-size, just right for youngsters, and I found it very charming.

Two workers were busy building a fence and they explained that the gardens were in full bloom. The staff must have put hours into tending the gardens because it was a beautiful, peaceful place spread out over a large area. I wandered around, stopping here and there to take photos of the flowers and the old barn that towers over the property.

Historically, Prescott Farm has been in the Prescott family for more than

• Day Tripping Continued from page 38 200 years. Colonel Dudley Prescott of the 10th Regiment NH Militia established the farm. He served in the Revolutionary War at the age of 19 and, due to his war service, was able to acquire land grants in 1796 and 1797.

Prescott Farm originally comprised 700 acres, bounded on one side by Paugus Bay, and it included three small islands, one of which is known today as Christmas Island. Such a land grant is hard to imagine today, but it was a huge amount of property.

In 1804, Colonel Prescott gave the farm to his son, Horatio Gates Prescott, who in turn sold it to his first cousin, Samuel Washington Prescott of Gilford. The farm was passed down through the Prescott family to Samuel’s great-granddaughter, Helen Prescott Pardoe; her son and grandchildren are the current owners. Farming ceased in the 1950s.

In 1997, the Pardoe family established a private operating foundation/notfor-profit organization, Prescott Conservancy, Inc. (PCI) and gifted 160 acres of farmland to it. The following year, PCI entered into a management partnership with the NH Audubon Society to offer environmental education programs on the property and, in 2005, built the energyefficient Samuel P. Pardoe Building for classroom and office space. On April 1, 2009, PCI began operating the Center independently as Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center (PFEEC).

A delightful Forest Trail has a welcoming arch leading into the woods.

I should mention that the farmhouse is still private and is not open for visitor tours. The wonderful barn is used for events and children’s programs put on

by PFEEC throughout the year. I was allowed to peek into the barn and the huge space took my breath away. I could easily imagine this barn as a vital part of a working farm, with huge stalls for animals; some of the old farm equipment is still on display. “What a great place for an event,” I told myself as I gazed into the main portion of the barn.

The gardens around the barn are the kind I love, “old-fashioned” as I call such flowers. Roses, lilies, and other flowers were in bloom and had

probably been on the property, summer after summer, for decades.

I walked all the trails and rambled on the Sugar Trail, which is just onethird of a mile. It leads to a pretty little sugarhouse. The trails looped through the woods and it was quiet and very peaceful as I walked deeper into the woods. I came out by a pond from the Pond Trail and walked back through more woods to the Pardoe Building (visitor’s center).

My trip was spur-of-the-moment but I must stress that it would have been wise to have a bottle of water with me. It was quite hot and, although the shaded forest area was cooler, I still felt the afternoon heat on the 90-degree

day.

There is a lot going on at Prescott Farm year-round, but I must admit I love the property best in the summer.

The gardens cannot be beat and it is easy for the writer in me to imagine the acres of land as they were 100 years ago or more when it was a working farm.

The staff works very hard to offer summer camps for children and the WildQuest Summer Camp runs throughout most of the summer. The camp is a real gift for area children and working parents. It offers a safe, educational, and fun place for children in the summer; the camp runs from June 24 through Aug. 23, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. Each week’s camp takes on a different theme, from Garden to Table and Cycles in Nature to Let’s Go Camping. For more information, call 603-366-5695; pre-registration is required.

I stopped back at the Pardoe building to thank the office worker and to chat about the joys of the many walking trails at Prescott Farm. (The public is welcome to walk the trails which are open dawn to dusk free of charge.)

Although my impulsive trip to Prescott Farm made me late for another appointment, my little side stop was well worth the effort.

I drove on to my next appointment, visions of the old days of farming, flower gardens, wooded trails, and wonderful fields dancing in my head.

PWC Operating Rules • Wear a personal floatation device (PFD). All riders must wear a Coast Guard-approved PFD that is suitable for PWC use.

• Wear protective clothing. Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into the water or being near the jet thrust nozzle. All riders must wear a wet suit bottom or clothing that provides equivalent protection (see Owner’s Manual).

Footwear, gloves, and goggles/glasses are recommended.

• Know boating laws. In New Hampshire a PWC operator must be 16 years of age or older.

• Attach engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to wrist and keep it free from the handlebars so that the engine stops if the operator falls off.

After riding, remove cord from PWC to avoid unauthorized use by children or others.

• Ride within your limits and avoid aggressive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of control, ejection, and collision. A PWC is a high performance boat – not a toy. Sharp turns or jumping wakes or waves can increase the risk of back/spinal injury (paralysis), facial injuries, and broken legs, ankles, and other bones. Do not jump wakes or waves.

• Do not apply throttle when anyone is at rear of PWC—turn the engine off. Water and/or debris exiting jet thrust nozzle can cause severe injury.

• Keep away from intake grate while engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing, or PFD straps can become entangled in moving parts resulting in severe injury or drowning.

• Never ride after consuming drugs or alcohol.

• Right of way. Follow basic boating rules. Sailboats (under sail), large commercial vessels, and fishing vessels always have the right of way. Stay to the right when approaching an oncoming craft, so that it

passes on your left side. When overtaking another boat, pass on the right or left, but stay clear. If you’re about to cross paths with another boat, the craft on the right has the right of way. Slow down to let the boat continue its course, then pass behind it. Even when you are sure you have the right of way, a good safety rule is to never insist on it.

Always ride defensively.

• Wake crossing. If your course takes you across the wake of another boat, make sure your visibility is not obstructed by that boat. Stay far enough behind it so that you can see if other traffic is coming your way.

• Operating speed. Follow local regulations regarding speed limits, whether posted or not. In congested areas, lower your speed.

• Passengers and guests. Never carry more than the maximum passenger load specified for your craft. If you loan your craft to a friend, make sure he or she is of legal age, knows how to operate your craft, and is fully aware of these responsible boating rules. You are responsible when you loan out your PWC. • Riding position. Passengers should hold on to the person in front of them or the handhold while keeping both feet on the deck for balance during operation or they can lose balance and be injured. Never allow a passenger to ride in front of the operator.

• Maintenance. Check your craft internally and externally before you get on the water. Make sure the throttle and all switches are working properly, that fuel and battery lines are properly connected, that no fuel is leaking, and that cables and steering are functioning.

Music and Mystery On Trolley’s Playbill Two musicals and a mystery kick off the first week of this summer’s Molly the Trolley dinner-theatre season.

Her first stop is scheduled for “Dreamgirls” at Interlakes Summer Theatre in Meredith on Tuesday, July 9. Based on the show business aspirations and successes of performing groups such as The Supremes and The Shirelles, the Broadway musical follows the story of a young female singing

trio from Chicago called “The Dreams” who become music superstars.

On Wednesday, July 10, Molly and her guests will be off to see “The Full Monty” at the Barnstormers Summer Theatre in Tamworth. The rollicking musical is about a group of unemployed steel workers who decide to put on their own strip show after discovering their wives going crazy over a real one.

Mystery fills the Winnipesaukee Playhouse in Meredith on Thursday, July 11, when the world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes, takes to the stage in what is billed as his Final Adventure. With his trusted companion, Doctor Watson, at his side, Holmes pursues first the case, and then the affections of the beautiful Irene Adler, marching right into a trap set by his longtime adversary, Professor Moriarty.

Trolley Dinner Theatre trips leave Wolfeboro at 4:45 p.m. with the first stop at The Woodshed Restaurant in Moultonborough for a three-course dinner before heading off to the respective theatres. Patrons also may meet Molly at The Woodshed.

NH Music Festival Orchestral Concerts Celebrate Old Favorites, Recent Works

Blues Brothers Next Generation To Open Summer Concert Series Blues Brothers Next Generation will return for its third season at the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand’s summer concert series on Saturday, July 6, at 7 p.m.

Based on the classic Blues Brothers movie starring Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi, the group began as a school talent show entry by Kyle Turner (Elwood Blues) and Greg Dorfman (Joliet Jake Blues) in 1996. It has

"From Our Store to Your Shore!"

grown to a full-blown, 10-piece show band since John D’Amico joined as the third brother, Zee Blues, in 1997.

The concert, which takes place in Cate Park, is free, but a hat will be passed for donations to support the concert series.

If weather forces a cancellation of the event, there will be a sign posted at the entrance of Cate Park.

The New Hampshire Music Festival’s Orchestral Concerts begin on Thursday, July 11, giving audiences the chance to experience selections from both well-loved repertoire and engaging recent works.

This season, the first under Music Director Donato Cabrera, the Orchestral Series will draw upon programs from the early days of the Festival and celebrate the anniversaries of Britten and Wagner. The Festival Orchestra also will perform works by Mozart, Beethoven, Handel, and Vivaldi, alongside pieces by Stravinsky, de Falla, and an East Coast premiere by American composer Mark Volkert.

The Festival also welcomes back Conductor Laureate Paul Polivnick and Director of Choirs Joel Johnson who, along with several orchestra members, are celebrating their 50th summer season with the Festival.

“I am really looking forward to continuing the Festival’s tradition of great classical music in New

Hampshire,” said Cabrera. “I truly believe the Festival can be a place to enjoy music you know and a place to challenge yourself, perhaps hearing something you like that you’ve never heard before.”

Concerts take place in the Hanaway Theatre at the Silver Center for the Arts on the Plymouth State University campus in Plymouth. The July 11 concert will include Mendelssohn Hebrides Overture; Mozart - Violin Concerto No. 4, Malcolm Stewart, violin; Stravinsky - Dumbarton Oaks and Haydn - Symphony No. 85.

The July 18 concert will include: Verdi - String Quartet (arranged for String Orchestra by Drew); Britten - Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge and Tchaikovsky - Serenade for Strings.

For a complete season schedule, visit www.nhmf.org. Tickets are available at www.silver.plymouth.edu or by calling 603-535-3300.

Williams To Perform Saturday Karyn Williams will be performing in a free concert at the Alton Bay Christian Conference Center on Saturday, July 6, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Williams, the eldest daughter of Orlando Magic Senior VicePresident and founder Pat Williams, grew up in an exceptionally large family. Her parents had five biological children and adopted 14 others from numerous countries, including Brazil, Korea, Romania, and the Philippines. She was

introduced to country music during high school, yet her love and passion for Christian music prevailed.

“I’m passionate about Jesus, people, and music in that order, so to be able to make a life and a ministry out of all three — that’s pretty awesome,” Williams said.

The concert will be in the Tabernacle at the Conference Center. For directions, a summer events brochure, and additional information, see www.altonbay.org or call 603-875-6161.
