Wolfeboro in Five Hours After you’ve heard some of the town’s history, enjoy one of many downtown eateries for a great lunch of American cuisine to suit every taste.

Most restaurants have an outdoor patio, including Wolfe’s Tavern at the Wolfeboro Inn, Garwoods, Downtown Grille Café, and of course, Wolfeboro Dockside Grille and Dairy Bar. Venture over to El Centenario on nearby Union St., if you’d like authentic Mexican fare, or try a gourmet crepe at Seven Suns Coffee & Tea on Railroad Avenue. Jo’s Upper Deck overlooks the Wolfeboro Town Docks, and there’s the Inn on Main, the Wolfe Trap, and Morrisey’s Front Porch.

If you’re looking for a treat to satisfy your sweet tooth, look no further than the Yum Yum Shop bakery. Since 1948, they’ve been baking up a variety of goodies, including their popular gingerbread cookies. Chocolates, fudge, and other candies are available at the Penny Candy Shop just across the street. Or you could visit Bailey’s Bubble for delicious ice cream, soft serve, and slushes. The shop also makes its own homemade fudge, butterscotch, and penuche sauces. It’s no wonder there’s usually a line!

Now here’s where members of your group might choose to go in different directions. For those who love to shop, Wolfeboro will keep you busy.

For clothing and shoes, there’s Emma Taylor, Mountain Tops Resort Shops, Sprout’s Children’s Clothing and Toys, Wolfeboro Casuals, and Bootlegger’s Footwear Center. For souvenirs, go to Black’s Paper & Gifts or Bridge’s Hallmark; the Artisans Corner offers

By Sarah Wright Sure you could come to Wolfeboro with a cooler and hang out on a beach all day, but the town has so much more to offer — the beaches are just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, there’s so much to do that you’d be hard-pressed to fit it all into just five hours. It’s no wonder this town is so popular.

I would start with a ride on the Winnipesaukee Belle. It’s a great way to enjoy a glorious summer day and hear some history about the Wolfeboro lakefront and islands. A 65-foot replica of a turn-of-the-century paddlewheeled boat, the Belle has a canopy over the top deck for shade, and snacks and drinks available below deck. On weekdays, the Belle voyages from 10:30 a.m. until noon and from 1:30 to 3 p.m. On Saturdays, you can catch a ride from 10:30 a.m. until noon, and on Sundays from noon to 1:30 p.m.

You could also catch a ride on the Millie B at the Wolfeboro Town Docks, with scenic vintage boat rides between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday – Thursday, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Sundays.

If you’d rather keep your feet on solid ground, you can explore Wolfeboro by trolley. Molly the Trolley will pick you up from the docks on the hour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, or on the half-hour from the Railroad Station Information Center. The 45-minute tour will take you to areas of the town you might not see otherwise. There’s open-air seating in the back for a nice breeze, and your pass is good for the whole day if you’d like to hop on again.

Little Church Theater: A Unique Venue for Creative Arts

By Christine H. Randall Entertainment in the Lakes Region seems to blossom with the arrival of summer, whether it involves live music, dance and theatrical performances, or other cultural events. One of the most charming and unusual seasonal venues in this region is the Little Church Theater in Holderness.

Now celebrating its 11th summer season, the Little Church Theater, located in a former chapel on Route 113 in Holderness, is a unique and intimate venue, well-known throughout the Lakes Region for showcasing original theatrical performances from May until September. Little Church Theater also serves as a center for a variety of other cultural events, creative arts, and workshops.

The history behind the Little Church Theater is quite interesting. The building actually served as a summer Catholic Chapel for about 100 years before being transformed into a theater and cultural arts center in 2003.

According to the Little Church Theater website, the theater “has a rich history as a small Catholic Chapel, owned by the Manchester Diocese. Built at the end of the Nineteenth Century on land purchased from Arthur Johnson, The Sacred Heart Chapel was an important part of community life for almost a century.”

The back side of the chapel property is situated on Big Squam Lake and boys and girls from the many summer camps in the area attended the services at the chapel, as did the year-round

residents of Holderness, Ashland, and Sandwich.

“The chapel was built, in part, to accommodate worshippers from the area who found water transportation easier than traveling by land,” states the website. “The Asquam Transportation Company (a Squam Lakes ferry company that went out of business soon after the automobile was invented) would carry passengers to the three docks that were on the chapel’s property.”

Once the Catholic diocese of Manchester decided to sell the property, around 2002, George and Austine Howard, who were interested in converting the chapel into a theater, purchased the property. They also added rest rooms and made the facility handicapped-accessible.

Audience members sit on the original wooden pews placed on each side of the building facing an elevated stage, making for a very intimate setting.

The theater is definitely cozy, with a seating capacity of about 150 people. A team sets the schedule of performances and workshops every year with the aim of providing a variety of entertainment to people of all interests and ages.

They encourage aspiring playwrights to submit original plays to the Little Church Theater’s executive director, Bill Tedrow, by mail at PO Box 105, Holderness NH 03245, or via email at info@littlechurchtheater.com.

One of the most popular events over the past few years has been “Project Greenway” which this year will take

place on July 24 at 7:30 p.m. Project Greenway is a take-off on the popular fashion show, Project Runway, with a

unique twist: Each participant has to

It’s Blueberry-Picking Time in New Hampshire

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Blueberries are the perfect food.

They offer health benefits, they are low in calories, they taste good, and they can be prepared in a variety of ways, from muffins to cake to jams and sauces that enliven food. (Just search online for “health benefits of blueberries” and phrases like antioxidant and hearthealthy crop up.)

According to information on the Old Farmer’s Almanac website, www. almanac.com, the blueberries many of us enjoy today are a 20th century invention. Before the early 1900s, those who wanted blueberries had to pick them in the woods. Blueberries grew in abundance in New Hampshire each summer but you had to know where to find them in the woods. Many people had a favorite woodsy location or knew of a roadside near their home where berries grew. The berries grown in the wild are much smaller than the high bush varieties found at many pick-your-own farms.

Over the years, growers figured out how to produce cultivated blueberries, offering big, plump berries on higher bushes. The bushes produce berries for many years, which is good news for pick-your-own berry farms and businesses.

As July ambles onward, with hot days and sunny skies, it is blueberry time in the Lakes Region. This year’s crop, due to the intensely cold and snowy previous winter, will be a bit later by a few weeks. Those who watch and wait for blueberry season to begin will be happy to know that Pick-YourOwn berry time is upon us. A number of farms and orchards are offering

“Sometimes, having had a surfeit of human society and gossip … I rambled still farther westward than I habitually dwell, into yet more unfrequented parts of the town, ‘to fresh woods and pastures new,’ or, while the sun was setting, made my supper of huckleberries and blueberries…”

—Henry David Thoreau delicious blueberries.

At Lorland Berries on 164 North Barnstead Road in Barnstead, the blueberry crop is ready, with big, juicy berries. The business offers row upon row of high bush, pick-your-own blueberries; call 603-776-2021 for hours and days of operation.

Butternut Farm, located at 195 Meaderboro Road in Farmington, has pick-your-own raspberries and cherries and blueberries. If you have never had the pleasure of picking your own cherries, stop by Butternut Farm to try gathering this luscious fruit.

Scenic Vintage Boat Rides on Lake Winnipesaukee Weekends 11 AM - 3 PM through June 30 Departs Wolfeboro Town Docks NHBM.org • 603-569-4554

Cherry-growing is fairly new to the farm. According to the farm’s website, “Butternut Farm is successful at growing cherries because we have installed a bird netting to keep out hungry birds. This bird netting is a delicate but necessary tool to grow pick your own cherries. If you come by and check it out it appears as if we have batting cages on the farm.

Picking cherries under the bird netting is a unique experience you do not want to miss.” Sounds like a memorable and fun experience!

Butternut Farm has a variety of red

raspberries, a definite favorite of many.

The berries are great in pies and other baked goods; many berry-lovers freeze raspberries to enjoy next winter when summer seems an impossibly long way off!

Blueberry season begins at Butternut by mid July. For updates on all berrypicking schedules, call Butternut Farm at 603-335-4705 or visit www. butternutfarm.net.

In the Gilford area, two blueberrypicking locations are popular. At Stonybrook Farm, located at 128 Glidden Road in Gilford, there are many rows of delicious blueberries.

Now open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., berries can be picked Wednesdays through Sundays. You can pick your own berries or purchase berries right at the farm stand. Call 603-293-4300 for updates.

Triple Trouble Farm is located on Cherry Valley Road in Gilford and will be open Thursdays through Sundays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is suggested that you call ahead with any questions or to ensure the berries are ready at 603-581-4709.

If you want a unique berry-picking experience in a truly rural and beautiful location, you must visit Kemah Farm on Mount Cardigan Road in Alexandria. The farm offers delicious pick-your-own blueberries in a tranquil setting. Call 603-744-3082 for hours of operation and for blueberry updates.

At Surowiec Farm, there is always something happening. In the fall it is apple picking and in the summer, the

The adult beetle is a voracious feeder causing skeletonization of leaves. At the grub stage, they eat turf roots, which can cause extensive damage to your lawn.

Control is best achieved in the larval stage by treating your lawn during the summer or fall to reduce the beetle population for the following year. Adult beetles can be suppressed now with repeated organic or traditional spraying.

Pheromone lures are not recommended – they attract more beetles than they trap.

Tamworth Lyceum Offers Interesting Experience

By Sarah Wright If you’re looking for some friendly conversation, locally sourced products, or just a great cup of coffee, visit the Tamworth Lyceum and relax a while.

Just a rock’s throw away from the Remick Country Doctor Farm and Museum, and across the street from the Barnstormers Theater, the Lyceum is a coffee house, country store, and meeting place, all in one.

Visitors to the shop will find holistic products of all kinds, from gourmet food items at the counter to kitchen gifts and personal products like handmade soaps. There’s even an outdoor section where hikers can purchase maps, backpacks, and tents.

Most items are locally sourced; the ice creams, meats, beers, and milk are all from New Hampshire, as well as some gift items and products in the apothecary. Residents and tourists will be supporting New Hampshire farms and small businesses by shopping at the Lyceum.

On Sundays, there is live folk music and anyone can play or sing along. The Lyceum is host to musicians who often include instructional time for anyone who wants to join in on the jam session.

Local artists set up exhibitions of their work on the walls of the Lyceum.

Besides supporting the arts, education is a big part of the Lyceum as well.

After all, the original “Lyceum” was a gymnasium where Aristotle taught in ancient Greece. The modern definition of the word is a place for public lectures

and discussion. Anyone can schedule a talk about whatever topic he or she would like to share knowledge of. You never know what you will learn.

Owner Steven Grasse started it all with Quaker City Mercantile. Based out of Philadelphia, he had a similar idea there as well, and it caught on.

Spending his summers in Tamworth, it was only natural that Steven would be interested in helping to promote the town by revitalizing a local landmark and turning it into a social gathering place. He decided to purchase the Tamworth Inn after it sat neglected for many years. Unfortunately, the interior was too far-gone to refurbish, but he was able to restore the exterior and preserve its original look.

Coming this fall is Steven’s latest idea: adding a distillery to serve up limited batches of highly unique spirits. He’s planning to challenge his mixologists to experiment with any number of flavors. It’ll be up to Jamie Oakes and Matt Power to try out Steven’s ideas in the test kitchen to see what happens. This will be a farm-to-bottle distillery, supporting and sourcing everything from local farms. If Steven thinks they can create a new drink from a mushroom, that mushroom will come from a local farm. Patrons of the distillery will be able to taste drinks unlike those sold anywhere else.

By opening the Lyceum three years ago, Steven has given yearround residents a new community

meeting place and summer tourists the opportunity to experience regional offerings while supporting small farms and businesses.

The Lyceum is located at 85 Main Street in Tamworth, and is open on

Sunday and Monday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and on Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m to 7:30 p.m.

Everyone has a favorite blueberry muffin recipe, and here is one this author has used for years to rave reviews from a 1976 Strawbery Banke Cook Book. It is a simple recipe, but the results are great!

Blueberry Muffins Ingredients

1/3 cup butter 2/3 cup sugar (or a bit more if you like a sweeter muffin) 1 egg 1 cup whole milk 2 cups flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 heaping cup of blueberries (or more if you love loaded berries in your muffins!)

Directions: Cream the butter and sugar, add the egg. Beat well. Add milk alternately with the flour, salt and baking powder. Lastly, add the blueberries – fold them in and do not stir too much. Grease muffin tins and fill each tin 2/3 full with batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25. Remove from oven when tops are browned. (You may sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the tops of the muffins before baking for added flavor.)

Windham Concert Band Brings Symphonic Sound To Cate Park The Windham Concert Band will return to the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand on Saturday, July 26, performing as part of the Saturday night free concert series for the third year in a row. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. in Cate Park.

The Windham Concert Band started more than a decade ago and has grown in both size and musicianship, establishing itself as a professionalquality symphonic band. It is one of the largest and most active concert bands in the state, rehearsing and performing throughout the year. The band has performed in Hampton Beach, Newburyport, Haverhill, and Lowell, Mass., and in summer concert programs throughout southern New Hampshire. The group plays annual events throughout the region, including events at the Mall at Rockingham Park in Salem and the Castleton in Windham.

Highlights from the band’s performance history include playing in the Maudslay Arts Center in Newburyport, Mass., at Crane’s Castle in Ipswich, Mass., and at Salem’s First Celebration, marking the transition from 1999 to 2000 on New Year’s Eve, where the band played for thousands of listeners.

The band comprises volunteers ranging in age from teens to seniors and they come from various backgrounds.

Many are music teachers while others are doctors, business people, technical professionals, and retirees. Some are still students. Band members come

from towns throughout the area.

The Windham Concert Band plays a repertoire of music that most will find familiar, including Broadway musicals, popular medleys, swing, jazz, and marches.

Dr. Spencer Aston, who was selected to be the music director in March, is an accomplished freelance trumpet player, soloist, conductor, clinician, and teacher. He holds faculty positions at Bridgewater State University, the University of Massachusetts-Boston, and the Powers School of Music. Dr. Aston earned a bachelor’s degree in Music for Trumpet Performance from the University of Cincinnati CollegeConservatory of Music in 2004; a master of music degree in Trumpet Performance from the University of New Mexico in 2006; and a doctor of Musical Arts degree from Boston University in 2010.

The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand sponsors the free concerts in Cate Park each Saturday throughout July and August.

The concerts run from 7 to 9 p.m. in Cate Park in downtown Wolfeboro.

Though there is no charge for the concert, there is a pass-the-hat offering taken at intermission to help support the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand’s mission to bring high-quality acts to Wolfeboro every summer.

If rain is a real threat, the concert will be cancelled and there will be a sign at the entrance to the park near the town docks announcing the decision.

Village Players Offer Laughter 6/30-8/24 With ‘Caught in the Net’ This summer the Village Players Theater mixes one taxi driver with two wives, blends in Internet romance with a stressed-out boarder and a senile father, and serves it all up with a butcher knife and scuba gear.

In Ray Cooney’s fast-paced comedy, two-timing taxi driver John Smith is Caught in the Net of his own guilt as he tries to block the blossoming interest of son Gavin and daughter Vicki who have discovered one another and the “amazing coincidence” that they both have taxi driver fathers of the same name. The teenagers are determined to meet and unravel the mystery while

AF tE R

John and his long-suffering friend, Stanley, try to prevent the meeting … and the discovery by his two wives.

“Caught in the Net” features the talents of veteran Village Players Christian Boudman, Kaylin Dean, Ernie Bass, and Russ Ellis, joined by the newer faces of Vinny Amico, Deb Gagne, and Mara Lamb.

A Cool Place To Visit and Beat the Heat

By Christine H. Randall If this summer’s heat and humidity have started to take its toll on you and you are not a big water sports fan, a really “cool” alternative is to head to the family-friendly Polar Caves Park in Rumney, a fun place to visit where the cave temperatures average a refreshing 55 degrees, even on some of the hottest days.

The caves were formed during the last glacial period, more than 10,000 years ago, when the ice sheet retreated, loosening great slabs of rock from Hawk’s Cliff and depositing them at the base of Mount Haycock. A group of local teenagers discovered the caves and tunnels in 1900 and, 22 years later, a man named Edwin Collishaw opened the area to the public and named it Polar Caves, due to the cold air currents which originate and rise up from the glacial ice preserved beneath the boulders, helping to keep the caves refreshingly cool.

One of the caves, “The Cave of Eternal Chill”, is also referred to as the “Ice Cave”, as it frequently has snow and ice deposits, even in July and August.

When Polar Caves Park opened in 1922, there were six named caves located on the popular Cave Walk.

Today, there are nine caves on the walk and, additionally, there are a variety of other activities to do within the park, including nature walks, museums, two “mining” operations, an animal park, and gift shops.

A visit begins at the Admissions Building, where patrons pick up their tickets and a trail map, and where they also can enjoy a meal or snack at the cafeteria, browse through the gift shop full of rocks, minerals, unusual gifts, and souvenirs, or indulge in some homemade fudge. The building also features an interesting display of old postcards and memorabilia concerning Polar Caves, as well as restroom facilities.

Exiting the Admissions Building, the first activity one encounters is the Polar Sluice Mining Expedition, something children really seem to enjoy as they pan for hidden gems, minerals, and fossils. Nearby, another

mining attraction is the popular Klondike Mines, which feature three “mineshafts” that youths can explore with hard hats and flashlights, in hopes of discovering hidden minerals, “gemstones”, and crystals.

The mineshafts in the Klondike Mines are small, comfortably accommodating only two or three children at a time. Although the hard hats and flashlights have to be returned, the explorers can keep any and all “treasures” that they find. There is an additional fee per person (in addition to the park admission fee) to go “mining” at both the Klondike Mines and the Polar Sluice.

Located just beyond the mining operations is the animal park, home to European fallow deer, ducks, geese, and colorful pheasants. The geese and ducks are friendly and wander around the pond area freely, and dispensers provide an opportunity to buy handsful of feed for them as well as the deer.

Adjacent to the animal park is a “Kissing Bridge” — a replica of a traditional New England covered bridge built for the park in 1987. There are numerous nature paths throughout

the park, as well as an interesting glacial rock garden, located just before one reaches the Cave Walk. The Rock Garden is an area full of giant erratic boulders left by the receding glacier, with a connecting boardwalk leading visitors from boulder to boulder in a maze-like pattern. There are many trails, all of which connect eventually, with interesting names such as “Tranquility Way”, “Boulder Way”, “The Winding Way”, “The Outback”, and “Roundabout Way”.

Throughout the park, there are numerous informational signs which detail the geological and human history of the region, as well as helping to identify birds, plants, trees, and mammals common to New Hampshire.

The main attraction at the park is the popular Cave Walk, a self-guided adventure along a boardwalk that connects the caves and passageways.

The newest cave, which was named “Polar Pinch” last summer, is located at the beginning of the cave walk, just before the “Cave of Eternal Chill” (the “Ice Cave”). All the caves are connected by passages of varying degrees of difficulty.

The caves and passages have colorful names and histories, some being fairly descriptive (“Tut’s Tomb”, “Fat Man’s Misery”, “Orange Crush”, and “The Lemon Squeeze”), while other names are based on local legends (“Smuggler’s Cave”, “The Indian Council Chamber”, and “The King’s Wine Cellar”). Except for “The Cave of Cool Off and Rest,” an exceptionally large and easily navigated cave, all caves can be bypassed.

In addition to the caves and passageways, the Cave Walk features some interesting rock formations, including “The Pharaoh’s Profile”, “The Watchdogs of the Caves”, and the “Giant Pyramid”, as well as the world’s largest glacially deposited boulder which is 100 feet long, 50 feet high, and 75 feet thick, and weighs about 50 million pounds. There also is the “Mysterious Hanging Boulder”, an 80ton boulder that rests on three contact points in the back. If you stand under it, about 75 percent of the boulder’s weight is over your head. I’m guessing that it’s not a place that many people linger under for very long!

The Cave Walk, which is about a quarter of a mile long, usually takes about 45 minutes to complete — probably a little less if you don’t climb the 87 steps to the Raven’s Roost Platform, but then you’d miss some exceptional views of the surrounding Baker River Valley.

Another attraction at the park is the Maple Sugar House Museum which houses an interesting display of old maple sugaring equipment and tools, with refreshments available.

The park is open daily from the beginning of May through late October, rain or shine. After October, the park is open weekends until it snows. Admission tickets are sold from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. There are discounts for children between the ages of 4 and 10; children under the age of 4 are admitted free with a paid adult. Guided tours also are available.

Polar Caves Park is located on Route 25 in Rumney, about five miles west of Plymouth. For more information, call 603-536-1888 or log on to www. polarcaves.com.

Graham said he started brewing seven years ago after trying a wide variety of beers. “I was looking for quality, not quantity. I felt like I had tried so many that it was time to make my own. I spent about a year reading everything I could find on brewing.”

According to the Brewers Association, there were 2,822 operating breweries in the United States in 2013.

Of those, 2,768, or 98 percent, are considered craft breweries.

Encouraged by his friends who liked his homebrewed beer, Graham has entered the field. His Single Hopped Citra IPA received a Gold Medal in the “light beer” (light in

color” division at the New England Homebrewer’s Jamboree in Tamworth, further inspiring him to open the Lone Wolfe Brewing Co. The company is a one-man, one-barrel nanobrewery, producing 31 gallons per batch.

In addition to the brewery, Lone Wolfe Brewing has a 20-seat tasting room where visitors can sample the beers. There is a large “community table” and two smaller tables for groups of four.

“I envisioned a tasting room where people could meet and hang out together,” said Graham. “Right from the beginning, I knew that I wanted a community table.”

The unique design of the tasting room comes from leftover pallets that Graham amassed over several months.

“I wanted a sustainable design for the tasting room. The wood from the pallets was repurposed for the flooring, the tables, and the frames,” explained

more recreation land and wildlife habitat while preserving the scenic and rural character of this beautiful region of New Hampshire,” said Jane Difley, president/forester of the Forest Society.

One of the properties is a 63acre parcel on Hackett Hill Road.

In partnership with the Tamworth Conservation Commission, the Forest Society purchased the parcel at a discounted price from the Freeto family, adding it to the 139-acre Gilman Forest

The Freeto and Reich properties add 166 acres to the Gilman Forest conservation area in Tamworth (similarly purchased from the Freeto family in 2010.)

The second, adjacent property is a 103-acre certified tree farm on Durrell Road owned by brothers Donald and Robert Reich of Massachusetts. The Forest Society, again in partnership with the conservation commission, purchased a conservation easement on the Reich’s tree farm on June 16. The easement forever protects the property from development and assures public pedestrian access while allowing the landowners to maintain ownership and continue to manage the land for timber.

Jane said both newly conserved parcels are important ecologically because they abut and enlarge 15 other contiguous, conserved tracts, totaling more than 900 acres, and they add more connections for wildlife to safely navigate in the region between the White Mountains to the north and the Ossipee Mountains to the south.

“A decade ago, local conservationists envisioned a swath of protected lands stretching through western Tamworth from the Sandwich Range to the Ossipee Mountains,” said Ned Beecher, vice-chair of the Tamworth Conservation Commission. “Now,

because of the foresight and caring of the Freeto and Reich families, another central part of ‘Whites-to-Ossipees’ wildlife connectivity is a reality.”

Conserving the properties also preserves the seamless forested landscape viewed from Cleveland Hill Road and protects the water quality in the Mill Brook area.

Major funding came from the Tamworth Conservation Commission, the Tamworth Foundation, the Fields Pond Foundation, the NH Charitable Foundation, and private individuals.

“The Conservation Commission is thrilled with all of the community support that has made this and other local conservation projects possible over the past five years,” Ned said.

“We have depended heavily on the cooperation of so many organizations and people, and we thank them all. In particular, we thank the Forest Society for taking the lead on expanding the Gilman Forest, covering technical details, and fundraising. We thank the Tamworth Foundation for funding support and encouragement. And we thank the Tamworth selectmen for their consistent support over many years.”

White Lake State Park Improvement Project

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

improvement project. In charge of the project will be Bob Hardy, Forester III for the Division of Forests and Lands.

White Lake State Park in Tamworth is a beautiful place. The lake is a mecca for swimmers and it is an example of a typical glacial lake near the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Along with swimming and enjoying the beach, those who visit can take a walk around the lake on a well-maintained footpath where wildlife might be spotted. The park has it all, including camping sites and a day-use area.

“We want the forest to be maintained in a healthy condition,” says Hardy. “The project will thin the forest to create a wildlife habitat. We have found that White Lake has little regeneration and this will improve that.”

The project started with a planning stage when timber was marked on the property. The forestry land encompasses about 83 acres; once cleared, 11 acres will be clear-cut for regeneration. In all, about 26 acres of young forest habitat will be created.

The park is part of the NH State Parks and Recreation Division and maintenance of the land is important.

Guests of the park may not be aware that, along with the beach and swimming, the land also includes a sizeable amount of forested acreage.

Contractors will submit sealed bids this summer and the winning bidder will be able to start harvesting trees from the land in late summer, “most likely not

Big Cat Expert To Speak At Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Dr. Alan Rabinowitz, one of the world’s leading big cat experts, will be the keynote speaker at the annual meeting of the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center on Aug. 9. Time Magazine has called Alan “The Indiana Jones of Wildlife Conservation”.

Currently the chief executive officer of Panthera, a nonprofit organization devoted to saving the world’s wild cat species he co-founded with the organization’s chair, Dr. Thomas S. Kaplan, Alan also served as the executive director of the Science and Exploration Division for the Wildlife Conservation Society for almost 30 years.

Alan has traveled the world on behalf of wildlife conservation and, over the years, has studied jaguars, clouded leopards, Asiatic leopards, tigers, Sumatran rhinos, bears, leopard cats, raccoons, and civets. His work in Belize resulted in the world’s first jaguar sanctuary. His work in Taiwan resulted in the establishment of the country’s largest protected area and last piece of intact lowland forest. His work in Thailand generated the first field research on Indochinese tigers, Asiatic leopards, and leopard cats in what was to become the region’s first World Heritage Site. His work in Myanmar led to the creation of five new protected areas, including the country’s first marine national park, the first and largest Himalayan national park, and the world’s largest tiger reserve in the Hukaung Valley.

Alan has written more than 100 scientific and popular articles and six books, including Jaguar: One Man’s

Struggle to Establish the First Jaguar Preserve (1986/2000), Chasing the Dragon’s Tail: The Struggle to Save Thailand’s Wild Cats (1991/2002), Beyond the Last Village: A Journey of Discovery in Asia’s Forbidden Wilderness (2001), and Life in the Valley of Death: The Fight to Save Tigers in a Land of Guns, Gold, and Greed (2008). He also wrote a children’s book, A Boy and a Jaguar. His most recent book, An Indomitable Beast: The Remarkable Journey of the Jaguar, will be released in September.

He is the subject of an acclaimed PBS/National Geographic television special, In Search of the Jaguar, and will be featured in the upcoming BBC special, Lost Land of the Tiger, filmed in Bhutan in 2010. He also will be featured in a soon-to-be-released film by acclaimed documentarian and Holderness resident George Butler.

The film, “Tiger, Tiger”, was recorded in India and will be released in the spring of 2015.

“We are thrilled to have Dr. Rabinowitz as our keynote this year,” said Iain MacLeod, executive director of the Science Center. “His pioneering work on behalf of our planet’s most vulnerable predators is inspiring and his impact and legacy outstanding. I can’t wait to meet him and hear him speak.”

The Science Center’s annual meeting and Summer Celebration will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday Aug. 9, with a brief annual business meeting from 5:30 to 6. The Summer Celebration will include a cash bar, heavy hors

before the end of August,” according to Hardy.

The winning bidder could be anyone from a one-man logger with a skidder to a large logging company or a mill.

After the timber is cut, it typically would be trucked to a mill and the pulp would go to pulp yards.

The improvement project, while within the White Lake State Park property, is nowhere near the beach area or campground. Hardy and his staff have worked diligently to ensure that any possible logging sounds are kept to set hours and will not bother those staying in the campground.

For wildlife in the area, the project is a very good thing. The creation of acreage of young forest habitat means that wildlife, from songbirds and reptiles to small mammals, will have enhanced foraging opportunities.

Birds will benefit from the increase in insects for food and more shelter for their young chicks. Deer and moose will receive the added benefit of more berry release for foraging.

The winning bidder will have until the beginning of December of this year to complete logging and, if not done by then, the work can be finished between June 1 and Dec. 1, 2015.

Hardy adds that another management project is in the works and will take place at the Daniel Webster Birthplace, a historic park in Franklin that also is among the NH State Parks.

“We hope to start marking for clearing about five acres at the site,” Hardy explains. “The goal is to restore some fields and put them back into hayfields.”

The historic site is a tranquil area, in a rural, forested part of Franklin.

Associated with the birth and childhood years of statesman Daniel Webster, the site gives visitors a look into 1700s farm life in New Hampshire.

Upgrading the land at the site is helpful to the property as a whole and Hardy will oversee the project with the same planning as the White Lake State Park Improvement Project.

Along with increased benefits to wildlife, the planned harvest will help the forest itself with the removal of low-grade hardwoods. Paper birch in the area has reached maturity and the American beech may have beech bark disease. Additionally, red maple was damaged in an ice storm.

Once the White Lake State Park project is completed, chances are good that the general public will not be too aware of the work that was done in the forest.

They will be able to swim, hike, boat, and camp as they have always done at White Lake State Park. It is, however, the wildlife and the very forest itself that will benefit and ultimately improve in health and wellbeing.

While not useful for the health of the forest, these various tree species have good value as pulp for making paper, chips for generating electricity, and

The work of Bob Hardy and others will ensure that White Lake State Park continues to be a beautiful place for all, well into the future.

Clark Museum To Present ‘My Two Students’ The Clark House Museum will present a new play about one of New Hampshire’s heroes in a true story of colonial America on July 24 at 7:30 p.m. Benjamin Thompson, aka Count Rumford, was one of New Hampshire’s most notable Tories during the American Revolution but he also was a world-renowned scientist who in the play will relate his life’s story.

“My Two Students” tells how Benjamin Thompson and his friend, Colonel Baldwin, who lived across the street from one another, went to school together, and grew up as best friends, had to face each other on opposite sides during the American Revolution. Despite the odds against them, they somehow continued

their friendship until their deaths. Count Rumford lived his life in Europe as a scientist while Colonel Baldwin was an engineer in America.

The audience also will meet the character of Schoolmaster John Fowle, the men’s teacher, who will introduce the two characters.

Mike Welch of Wolfeboro, a tour guide at the museum as well as a classroom presenter, re-enactor, and an active member of the Village Players, will play all three characters in the presentation.

There are discounts for members, seniors, and students over 12 years of age. For more information, call 603-5694997 or 569-5709.

Texas Guitar Slinger Johnny Winter To Perform at Flying Monkey Bluesman Johnny Winter will appear on stage at the Flying Monkey Performance Center in Plymouth on Friday, July 25, at 7:30 p.m., bringing his blend of blues and rock that has made him a living legend.

Throughout the 1970s and ’80s, Winter served as the unofficial torchbearer for the blues, championing and aiding the careers of his idols, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. Winter and his younger brother, Edgar, had been playing on Texas radio since the mid-1950s and recording since 1960.

Daytona F u n Pa r k

Now, some 50 years later, the 67-yearold Winter is celebrating hard rock’s blues origins on “Roots” which finds the bluesman performing a selection of songs that helped shape his talent, and features such notable guests as Vince Gill, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, and Susan Tedeschi.

“We love Johnny,” said Seth McNally of the Flying Monkey. “He’s still going strong … barreling through the blues with the heart of a rock ’n’ roller.”

Eason’s new adaptation will bring out the child in all audience members as they witness Tom and his friends exploring the thrill of mischief-making, the pangs of first love, the cold shivers of an adventure gone wrong, and the excitement of discovering buried treasure.

Bryan Halperin directs the play which features William Vaughn as the title character. It includes original music composed for the production by New Hampshire-based musician Joel Mercier. Imaginative and inventive staging will bring audience members swiftly from one adventure to another.

A cast of seven brings to life the characters of Tom’s world, including Becky, Huck, Injun Joe, and Aunt Polly.

The company includes Playhouse favorites Adam Kee, A.J. Ditty, Nicholas Wilder, Bryn Austin, Rebecca Tucker, and John C. Nagy III. Toby Miller will be making his Playhouse debut. The versatile cast also provides musical accompaniment

on instruments as diverse as the banjo and the vibraslap.

The Winnipesaukee Playhouse provides a full evening of food and entertainment. Drinks, light meals, and snacks are available before each performance, with free “Busker Alley” pre-shows with live music on the outdoor stage. Buskers will be performing on selected nights, so be sure to check the website ahead of time to catch the acts.

“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” will be the third play of the summer season performed at the new Winnipesaukee Playhouse campus in Meredith and is recommended for ages 8 and above. Performances are Mondays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., with additional matinees on Thursday, July 24, and Monday, July 28, at 2 p.m. Tickets are available by calling 603-279-0333 or visiting www. winnipesaukeeplayhouse.org.

Drop Anchor in Meredith and Enjoy Landlubber’s Lot Dance

Artist Exhibits New Work On Yupo Paper There will be a reception for Lakes Region artist Margery Thomas Mueller at the Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery on Wednesday, July 23, from 5 to 7 p.m.

The artist will speak about her process at 6 p.m.

For the last year and a half, Margery has been working on Yupo paper, a plastic used for industrial purposes that has “no tooth” to hold ink, graphite, or any medium to its surface without being fixed. Mueller’s experiments with Yupo have led her to work in a “manner that is always flexible and uncertain”. The results are luscious landscapes in graphite, charcoal, and India ink.

Margery has been involved in art and design all of her life and she has exhibited in Baltimore MD and New York NY. Now a resident of the Lakes Region, she is inspired by the lush nature that surrounds her.

Her work on Yupo began with

The Greater Meredith Program Promotions Committee is sponsoring a “Drop Anchor in Meredith” event with some local businesses offering discounts for the month of July and others giving discounts during the Antique Boat Show weekend of July 2527. There also will be a “Landlubber’s Lot Dance” at the Community Park on Main Street on Saturday, July 26, from 6 to 9 p.m.

images of birds. Three of her paintings contain flocks moving in patterns and flying freely overhead. She said the flocks are a metaphor of our habits and address our need to repeat in order to find safety and continuity. As she worked with the flocks, “the idea of layers came into play. The layers of the landscape and layers of our lives…”

Looking deep inside herself, Margery explores the “blending of years, of memories, of a life lived but not always sown together. So the slides, squirms, floats, and constant invention on Yupo is an interior conversation.”

The Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery, located at 69 Maple Street in Center Sandwich, is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

For more information, see www. patricialaddcarega.com or call 603-284 7728.

Participating businesses are offering a Drop Anchor Map and Events Guide which offers special discounts during July and into August.

The Drop Anchor on Main Street Map and Events Guide also is available at the Meredith Library.

The “Landlubber’s Lot Dance” at the Community Park on Main Street will feature music provided by Joanne Newman of DJ Music Factory, and there will be free popcorn.

‘Hello Dolly’ Coming To Interlakes Summer Theatre Well, hello, Dolly! Audiences will be able to laugh and sing along with one of Broadway’s most popular musicals from July 29 through Aug. 10, allowing them to follow the adventures of Dolly Levi in a whirlwind race around New York at the turn of the century.

Interlakes Summer Theatre’s producing director, Nancy Barry, will take the lead role as Mrs. Dolly Gallagher Levi, a mischievous but very successful matchmaker. Other cast members include Charles Baran as Horace Vandergelder, the rich hay and feed store owner in Yonkers. Horace’s head clerk, Cornelius Hackl, will be played

by Dan Lusardi and his assistant, Barnaby Tucker, by John Findlay.

Ashley Landroche of Meredith will play the beautiful Widow Molloy who owns an upscale hat shop in New York City. Gabrielle Petrosino will take the part of Widow Molloy’s assistant, Minnie Fay. The story centers on Mrs. Levi’s

efforts to marry half-millionaire Horace Vandergelder. She’s been dreaming about ways to use his fortune and share it with others.

Dolly lives by the words of her late husband, Ephraim. “Money, pardon the expression, is like manure: It’s not worth a thing unless it’s spread around, encouraging young things to grow.”

On the way to capturing Horace’s heart, her match-making skills entangle others in her web. She finds suitable mates everywhere she goes. Some of her targets are reluctant, some eager, and some just plain terrified.

Of course the story has a happy ending and Dolly “gets her man” and the cash!

The musical comedy won 10 Tony Awards during its run on Broadway from 1964 to 1970. The record lasted more than 35 years.

Jessica Landers will discuss her book of stories about Gilmanton, ‘Driving Backwards’, on July 29, 6 p.m. at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library.

Author Jessica Landers To Speaks About Gilmanton Jessica Landers, a 20-year summer resident of Gilmanton, will bring her book, Driving Backwards, an exploration of the town’s todays and yesterdays, to the Gilmanton YearRound Library on Tuesday, July 29, at 6 p.m.

Gilmanton briefly was one of the most famous towns in America. Today, nestled among the hills of central New Hampshire and along the curve of the Suncook River, Gilmanton is a microcosm of the changing ways and enduring values of rural life in the 21st century.

Driving Backwards is a poignant exploration of the vividness of the everyday. Across 20 years of summers, Jessica Lander has come to know Gilmanton and its residents, including

Valerie, who tends 65 goats, homeschools 10 children and crafts artisanal goat cheese. Jim and Cheryl raise miniature horses, flocks of chickens, and long-eared rabbits, all on two tiny acres. Duncan, a third generation farmer, harvests thousands of pounds of wild blueberries every summer. Chuck runs a six-generation dairy farm.

Landers’ guide is David Bickford, a fireman, carpenter, town selectman, and nearly 100-year-old storyteller.

Through richly observed portraits and elegant prose, Lander elevates the ordinary and encourages a deeper appreciation for the stories that surround us.

The presentation will take place at the library, on NH Route 140, opposite the Gilmanton School.

New England Brass Quintet To Perform in Wolfeboro The New England Brass Quintet will bring its blend of comedy, classics, and familiar melodies to the Great Waters Music Festival on Friday, July 25, at 7:30 p.m. The performance will take place at the Inn on Main, 200 North Main Street, Wolfeboro.

Band members Jay Daly, Alyssa Coffey, Walt Bostian, Michael Stephan, and Mark Emery will perform the music of Duke Ellington and Fats Waller as well as offering their tribute to “Five Decades of Popular Trumpet Solos”.

Musical Director Jay Daly has been a mainstay of Boston’s diverse music venues. From Symphony Hall to Tanglewood, his talents have been tapped by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, Tony Bennett, and the Moody Blues. He also lent his talent to touring Broadway shows, most recently Wicked, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and Spamalot.

All four of the other New England Brass members are top, first-call players occupying principal positions in many

of the orchestras and ensembles in the Boston area as well as being active in commercial work, including big bands, jazz ensembles, rock/blues/funk bands, and most often Broadway musical theatre.

The New England Brass has been presenting innovative concerts since 1980. From an educational program that is a great favorite with students all over New England to crowd-pleasing summertime performances to evening concerts that stretch the concept of what a brass quintet can do, the ensemble remains popular with audiences of all ages.

The Great Waters Music Festival is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing outstanding musical performances to people living in and visiting the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. For further information and to obtain tickets, stop into the office at 15 Varney Road in Wolfeboro, call 603-569-7710, or go online to www.greatwaters.org.

DAVE’S MOTORBOAT SHOPPE “OVER 50 YEARS OF SERVICE EXPERIENCE IN THE LAKES REGION”

The Lakes Region Conservation Trust and the Newfound Lake Region Association will co-sponsor a guided paddle on the Cockermouth River and Newfound Lake on Tuesday, July 22, led

by Dr. Rick Van de Poll.

The paddling excursion will provide participants with the opportunity to view conserved lands in Hebron from the water and to explore dramatic aquatic landscapes.

The trip will begin at Grey Rocks, a 29.38-acre property donated to the NLRA, with a conservation easement donated to LRCT in 2011 by Andy and Linda McLane. The conservation area preserves thousands of feet of shoreline on the Cockermouth River, a significant wildlife habitat, and protects water quality.

Dr. Van de Poll has completed ecological assessments for both the Grey Rocks property and the contiguous Charles L. Bean Sanctuary, owned by the Town of
