A Wine Adventure at Hermit Woods By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Wine has never been on my list of favorite beverages. I do enjoy a glass of wine now and then, but I am not one of those people who “must” have fine wine with meat and fish. Over the years, I have tried to convince myself I like wine, but I must admit, if truth be told, a lot of it tastes like bitter liquid to me and I never could determine what to do to increase my knowledge of and thus my enthusiasm for wine. That opinion definitely changed for the better when I visited Hermit Woods Winery. The winery recently opened in an attractive new location at 72 Main Street in Meredith. Every time I drive by the building, it is busy with customers bustling in and out the door or chatting with friends on the wide deck that runs along the front of the shop. “Why not stop in and see what it’s all about?” I asked myself as I shopped in Meredith on a Friday afternoon in August. I was surprised to see how busy the shop was, even though it was only early afternoon at the end of the week. The exterior of the building sports the welcoming and attractive Hermit Woods Winery sign over the entrance and the deck has a large, wood-topped bar where friends can congregate.

Stepping into the main tasting room, I was greeted by a golden retriever that obviously was a friend to all who enter. I signed the guest book and took a Tasting Notes paper that listed wines I might wish to sample. The winery’s main floor/tasting room is huge and airy with a polished wood floor and a bright, welcoming

atmosphere. A wine bar runs the length of one side of the room and all sorts of wine made right on premises is available for sampling and purchase. Bob Manley, one of the three owners of Hermit Woods Winery, greeted me and explained how a wine-tasting works in the shop. After referring to the Tasting Notes, guests can choose wines they

are particularly interested in sampling. At the wine bar, employees and the owners bring out the selected wines and explain how the wine was made, what is in each particular wine, and all pertinent information. For a beginner such as me, Hermit Woods staff will take the time to show how to sample wine. (It really isn’t as threatening and intimidating as it looks in the movies!) Bob showed me how to grasp the bottom of the wine glass and swirl the wine sample around and then smell the wine. Following the swirl, I was told to sip the wine and then a take second sip and finally close my mouth and breathe out to capture the scents of the wine. I chose the 2012 Three Honey Wine which was a Gold Medal winner at a competition in Colorado. The wine is made in-house with three separate, raw, unfiltered wildflower honeys blended together. I have to say, it was different and incredibly tasty! Next on the sampling list was a Petite Blue wine, which Bob said was recently sampled on television on the Kathy Lee and Hoda Today television show. “It’s made with wild blueberries,” Bob said. “It is made in the style of a pinot noir and aged in a stainless-steel vat. It is

• Day Tripping Continued from page 2 a lighter wine with fruitiness.” He told me Kathy Lee and Hoda loved the wine and I had to agree wholeheartedly. It has a fresh blueberry aroma and flavor, but not too sweet or intense. An entire pound of wild, low-bush blueberries is in each bottle, but there is no overpowering fruit taste. I also chose to sample the Heirloom Crabapple wine. “It is our signature wine,” Bob told me. He added that it is a best-seller at the winery and I quickly found out why when I tasted it. It is made from heirloom Dolgo crabapples and has a medium sweetness with a tangy taste. It is a great aperitif and a perfect partner with many foods. “It goes well with turkey and very popular at Thanksgiving,” Bob added. My final wine was Melange, a fruit-andhoney wine made from all-organic, allwhole honey, blueberries, elderberries, blackberries, and black currants. Melange utilizes cold fermentation to trap aromas and produces a sweet, port-like wine that is great for sipping with dessert. Bob said that the purpose of a winetasting is to start picking a wine apart and becoming aware of the scents and flavors. “A tasting is different for everyone,” he explained. “It is an adventure of discovery.” After the tasting, I took some time to chat with Bob about Hermit Woods Winery and the changes the business has experienced as it has grown. “I was in California for 11 years and I had the opportunity while there to visit many wineries, and I love wine,” he said. “When I moved east, I visited wineries all over New England and New York. Ken, one of the three Hermit Woods Winery partners, is an

were interested in participating in wine-tasting experiences.” With 17 wineries on the wine trail in New Hampshire, the awareness and popularity of wine, wine-making, and tasting helped put Hermit Woods Winery on the map. (It also helped that the wine they produced was topquality and the owners are passionate about sharing their knowledge with customers.) Once the decision was made to relocate into a bigger facility, it did not take long for the partners to decide on the old Fermentation Station building on Meredith’s Main Street. “We redid the building inside and outside,” Bob explained. “It is a great space and was designed in the style of a barn. We used Christopher Williams o Architects to design the outside of the building consistent with the look of the Start Saving downtown area.” Hermit Woods Winery owners, from left, Bob Manley, Chuck Lawrence, The partners Today! went from a modest, and Ken Hardcastle at the wine bar.

Keep Growing With Season-Extending Gardening Tips Warm weather, continued care, and robust plants have yielded a bounty of beautiful, fresh vegetables — and personal satisfaction — from your garden this season. As the weather cools and fall approaches, it is not time to hang up your hat, gloves, and trowel for the year. Autumn provides optimum weather and ample opportunity to keep growing and harvesting delicious, healthy produce well into the season. Some gardeners assume that, when fall arrives and kids return to school, they’ll have less time to garden and may experience less success from their garden plots. But cooler temperatures and fall conditions actually can make gardening easier and more enjoyable. Many of fall’s best-producing vegetables are also colorful, making them great additions to flower beds and containers. If you loved summer gardening, you can keep your garden growing right through fall. Here’s how to make the most of fall season gardening: Size Up The Soil Most vegetable plants require full sun for six or more hours a day and, because fall provides a bit less sunlight than summer, you may need to relocate your plot to make the most of shorter days. If moving your garden isn’t an option, you still can take full advantage of sunshine by planting vegetables in containers or by creating a raised bed in a sunny spot. If you’ll be reusing your summer garden plot, remove any leftover debris. Don’t forget to pull up weeds before they go to seed. Fluff any compacted

soil with a garden fork. Next, test the soil to see if any amendments are needed. Even if your soil is in good shape, adding a two-inch layer of bagged compost or a balanced, natural fertilizer can give plants a boost. Be prepared for frost. Keep materials on hand to protect plants when frost threatens, such as floating row cover, a cold frame, or a cloche. On frosty, cold nights, move container plants to a protected spot. Pick Your Plants While crops like strawberries and tomatoes have faded to sweet summer memories, many plants thrive in the fall. To ensure a successful harvest, it’s important to pick the right plants and give yourself a jump start by using transplants, rather than starting off with seeds. Planting six-week-old transplants ensures you’ll have the best opportunity to take advantage of fall’s shorter growing season, and you’ll harvest sooner than if you plant

Meet Guest Artist Christine Knight Coombs Christine Knight Coombs, whose works have appeared on magazine covers and who was profiled in Artist Magazine, is the guest artist in a current show at the Art Place in Wolfeboro. There will be an artist’s reception this Friday, Aug. 29, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Timing is critical. Paint must be added to the water-soaked paper at just the right moment. If brushed on too early, it dilutes and floats away; too late and it streaks or harsh lines are formed. The timing is learned by practice. Unlike other [media], the painter must begin with the light areas and work toward the darker areas. Many watercolorists do not use white paint at all. Instead, the white of the paper is used, which gives the painting a unique luminosity. The white areas must be planned ahead, as once lost or covered with paint, they cannot be regained. Watercolor is largely an unforgiving medium. It cannot be scraped off and repainted, as with oil or acrylic [media]. It is notorious for its often-frustrating uncontrollability. Executed well, it has a quality of freshness unlike any other medium.”

Christine paints representational watercolors of scenes that capture a pause in time. “As an artist, my goal is to bring moments of beauty to the viewer, to provide a way for him or her to reconnect with their own emotional memories,” she said. “My intention is for the viewer to feel the moment on that cold, clear day when the subjects pause to take in, with all of their senses, the surroundings and beauty of the world around them. Beauty, joys of relationship, and inner serenity — these are the subjects I seek to express through my paintings.”

Christine added, “I wish to document in my paintings the beauty of the moment. Within that moment is a story. It may be a story that reminds the viewer of a well-known or forgotten feeling or it may be a story that he or she may wish to escape into. For all who experience my paintings, I hope to provide inner nourishment, renewal, and reconnection with the beauty within them and around them.”

Having taken art lessons at age six, Christine trained with many private teachers before attending classes at Rhode Island School of Design and Syracue University School of Art. She said the messages in her paintings may be simple or complex. “Sometimes a message may appear to be the former, when truly it is the latter. The viewer decides the depth of his own experience.” Barbara Gibbs, owner of the Art Place, commented, “Christine’s paintings seem to glow from within. In looking at the painting titled ‘Late Afternoon Light’, Christine addresses the source of light that lands on the dogs while asleep on their bed. I can sense the

warmth of their fur, and the dogs’ recent stretch from sunning near the window’s light.”

“Most of my work,” Christine said, “is in done with watercolor. The rules of watercolor painting are finite. They are: timing, practice, and no mistakes.

With her pieces in many private, corporate, and government collections, Christine also has illustrated children’s books and done covers for national sporting magazines and catalogs. The gallery show will run through Sept. 13.

North Shore Acapella To Close Great Waters Season The Great Waters Music Festival will complete its 2014 Summer season with the performance of North Shore Acappella at the Inn on Main this Friday, Aug. 29, at 7:30 p.m. Having been performing for more than 30 years, North Shore Acappella has excited audiences throughout New England with a blend of harmony, rhythm, and tempo. With songs ranging from the 1940s through today, members Tommy Duarte, Paul Lopes, Jimmy Martin, Vinny Staccia, and Guy Chiapponi deliver music without instrumental accompaniment — that is what a cappella is all about. The group makes regular appearances at venues across New England and will be performing a return engagement with Great Waters after a sold-out performance in 2013. The award-winning group offers

a continuously fresh repertoire of hundreds of popular hits that cover the last five decades. Each number and performance is arranged in a way that showcases each member in a role of lead singer, a trait that very few a cappella groups in the country can claim.

North Shore Acappella has appeared as the opening act for The Temptations, The Platters, Ben E. King, Johnny Maestro, Al Jarreau, Roberta Flack, Frankie Vallie, and Gene Pitney. In 1991, the group won the National Harmony Sweepstakes in San Rafael CA, defeating six other

Endicott Rock Reflects Time’s Passage By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper It just may be the oldest public monument in New England. It also is the earliest form of grafitti in these parts, although those who carved their names on the Endicott Rock boulder at today’s Weirs Beach would have no idea what grafitti might be. They were simply ensuring that those who came after them would know others had taken the same route. Long before white settlers made their way to Weirs Beach, for thousands of years, the water of Lake Winnipesaukee had been clear and cool. It stretched for miles like a sparkling gem, broken only by the green hills rising high on the distant horizon. The air was fresh, the soil perfect for growing plants. If this sounds a bit like Shangrila, the comparison is a good one. This place, however, was no mystical Mecca of folklore. It is the area known as Weirs Beach, today a popular spot for vacationers and locals. While Weirs Beach looks a great deal different today than it did hundreds of years ago, the sparkling lake and the natural beauty of this Lakes Region spot remains a constant. In the 1600s, and long before that time, Native Americans called the area home. (An archeological dig in the area a number of years ago dated tribal inhabitants in the area to 9,000 BC.) A large community sprang up in the area because it was a natural place to live, with everything a family could want: fish and game in abundance; good soil for planting crops; a limitless supply of clean water, and a scenic beauty that probably evoked a feeling among the people that they were closer to the spirits they worshipped. According to historical folklore, a Native American who accompanied the first white explorers to the area is said to have told his guests as they gazed over the lake from the Weirs area, that this water was the “Smile of the Great Spirit” or “Beautiful Water in a High Place”.

Those in that exploration party carved their names and that of their benefactor, Governor Endicott, on a rock at the spot, and the carvings are still on the big rock for visitors to see. The rock is reputed to be the secondoldest historical marker in the country. Endicott Rock is a monument to the first visit of white men of which there is any knowledge. (Surely other white men had explored the deeply forested area, but those visitors left no mark of their journey to the Weirs location.) The history of the Weirs area before and after the white visitors has been passed down for years in local history books. During the time the Native Americans inhabited the area, it was known as Aquadoctan. For ages, fish, game, and vegetation were plentiful. Corn was grown here, and the Native Americans had a huge, thriving community. Long before it was fashionable, they lived here in the perfect summer vacation spot. Eventually, the white men came to the area and things changed. The first stirrings of change came as early as the 1600s when King James made a gift of the land to several English nobles.

In 1628, Governor Endicott and Company of the Massachusetts Bay Colony secured a grant of land from the English nobles. A royal charter legalized the proceedings on March 4, 1629. The English had a habit of making gifts of New England property to their friends or to clear up a debt. That the

land was not rightfully theirs never seemed to occur to them, and they did not ask permission of the Native Americans who had been inhabiting the lands for many, many years. One of those generous gifts was a tract of land that would become New Hampshire. On Nov. 7, 1629, John Mason received the land from the Council of New England. On Nov. 27, 1629, John Mason and Fernando Georges formed a territory of land encompassing the present-day Laconia and surrounding area. Mason, at great personal expense, brought settlers to the area. He was determined to see the area grow in population, and he had houses built and encouraged white men to settle on the land. In the summer of 1638, an exploration party of white men had traveled as far as Franklin Falls. At that site, the men proclaimed that a great pine tree three miles north of where the Winnipesaukee and Pemigewasset rivers met was to show the limit of their land possession. The tree was

Guitar-Maker To Speak Of His Craft The League of NH CraftsmenMeredith Fine Craft Gallery will sponsor a free lecture by John Whiteside on Monday, Aug. 25, at 7 p.m. in the Fireside Room at Chase House in Meredith. John was the first person to be juried as an acoustic guitar-maker by the League back in 2010. John will discuss the process of making each guitar and the inspiration behind it. His hand-made guitars

are custom-designed and -built for individual buyers, based on their hand size, aesthetic tastes, playing style, favorite music, and, where appropriate, are voiced to complement their singing. He will take questions at the end of the free lecture. For more information and to register, call 603-279-7920 or visit the gallery at 279 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith.

Your Where-To-Go, What-To-Do Guide for the Lakes Region

thelaker.com

Playhouse Ends Summer Season With Thoughtful Romance The setting is a beautiful if run-down boathouse on the Talley farm in rural Missouri. The date is the Fourth of July, 1944, as Americans endure World War II. The people are a pair of unlikely sweethearts, each hiding a secret, and both wondering if tonight will be the night she finally agrees that “they” are meant to be. Lanford Wilson’s Pulitzer Prizewinning “Talley’s Folly” will cap off the Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s summer season, running through Aug. 30. Written in 1979, the touchingly romantic, gently comedic play has been described as “a valentine to a classic romantic ideal: two lost souls finding in each other a respite from loneliness” (Charles Isherwood, New York Times). New York-based actress and director Marta Rainer will direct this play, featuring Toby Miller as Jewish immigrant Matt Friedman who arrives

at the Talley household to woo the reclusive Sally Talley (played by newcomer Molly Parker-Myers). Matt is eager to rekindle an old relationship but Sally’s past disappointments make her uncomfortable with love and afraid of commitment. Performances of “Talley’s Folly” will be Mondays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on Monday, Aug. 25, at 2 p.m. Student Rush tickets will be available one hour prior to showtime. For tickets and information, call 603-279-0333 or see www. winnipesaukeeplayhouse.org. “Symposium” — a pre-show presentation offering insight on the play — will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 26, at 6 p.m., and “Talk-Back Wednesday” — a post-performance Q&A with the cast — will be offered on Wednesday, Aug. 27.

Historic Buildings

The Franklin Opera House By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

The Franklin Opera House in downtown Franklin has served the public well over the years. It sits at the end of Central Street and has seen everything from the heyday of mills bringing industry to the town to the war years to changes in the economy to political candidates and town officials and artists and performers using the grand building. Built in 1893, William Butterfield had designed the large, architecturally ornate building in the Romanesque Revival style. It was erected originally as a multi-purpose structure; historical reports say the building was used as a town and memorial hall. The building, according to the Franklin Opera House website www. franklinoperahouse.org, was dedicated and opened to the public on Sept. 5, 1893. The total cost of construction was about $45,000, which included furnishings. The hall provided 504 seats on the main floor and 288 seats on its second-level balcony. Immediately after the building was officially opened, it was a venue

for balls, dances, lectures, plays, musicals, vaudeville shows, concerts, school productions, and graduation ceremonies. As a city with many mills and a large population, Franklin was in need of a police force and the local police station was housed within the opera house for

many years. By the late 1800s, a national effort took place to honor and provide services for Civil War veterans; the opera house had plenty of room for a Grand Army of the Republic room for veterans’ meetings and other gatherings. It is worth noting the opera house’s unique and long cultural heritage. It has been home to all types of performances and programs since its inception in 1893. From opera, stage shows, magical acts, and basketball in 1916 to wrestling in 1919 and 1920, the old building was even used as an indoor miniature golf course around 1930. During the Depression years, the opera house was a bright spot for the city of Franklin. Social programs continued and it was a place for unemployed folks to gather for games and other activities. Not long after, the American Red Cross held programs there during World War II. Following World War II, with the advent of television, people began to spend more time at home. There was less interest in the live entertainment and socializing offered at the opera house dwindled. At about that time, the needs of Franklin city government grew, and the

police department expanded into the entire lower level of the building. Political candidates came through the Lakes Region over the years and Franklin was on scheduled stops for presidential and other government office candidates. A charming blackand-white photograph shows soonto-be-president John Kennedy in the Franklin Opera House. He is on a campaign tour, by the appearance of the photograph, and is shaking hands with a group of women who seem eager to meet the dashing young political hopeful. Soon district court offices were constructed on the beautiful stage where concerts and plays had once been presented. By the 1970s, administrative offices were housed in the auditorium and the original interior structure of the opera house was altered with paneling put up on some walls, and partitions were added to make office space. The beautiful balcony of the theatre was covered over and a drop ceiling was added in the 1970s. In the 1990s, a group formed to start a community. It was at that time that the balcony hidden above the drop ceiling was rediscovered. The theatre group was very interested in utilizing the building and, in 2001, the group incorporated as the Franklin Opera House and sought nonprofit status. The drop ceiling came down to expose the balcony. Productions began with the first show in 30 years lighting up the stage. Later, after a brief name change, the original name of the Franklin Opera House was reinstituted. Today, a variety of shows and concerts take place in the beautiful old building, as well as children’s theatre. (For a schedule of shows visit www. franklinoperahouse.org.) Over the years, the wonderful opera house has served the city of Franklin well. If its walls could talk, they would tell of many things, from gatherings of Civil War veterans to local politics and meetings to music and theatre filling the old building.

B e part of this exciting new sustainable living community which balances

environmental, economic and social considerations in its development. Home sites overlooking and part of the Squam Watershed will preserve the beauty of the area while minimally impacting the land. Some lots are wooded and provide privacy and abut hundreds of acres of conservation land, others offer outstanding lake and/or mountain views. The community will be a fully-recreational winter/ summer fantasy land with snowmobile and snowshoeing trails throughout the acreage and access to Squam Lake through the affiliate-owned Riveredge Marina.

Moultonborough, NH – Over the years, much has been written about Squam Lake, and about some of the wonderful summer homes that line its majestic shore front, but up until now, nothing has been written about this gracious one-of-a-kind property quietly nestled among the tall pines in the exclusive area known as Harvard Point. The original Cottage, built circa 1790, was moved to the site years ago from Connecticut. It has since been restored, and is now used as a 3-bedroom guest cottage. In 1997, the owners employed the services of the well-respected architect Charles Warren of New York City, and of the highly regarded New Hampshire craftsman and builder, Gordon Cormack, to create the year-round getaway of their dreams. Using the finest materials available, and the utmost in creative craftsmanship and design, we have before us today one of the premier homes on the shores of Squam. This home, and this property are truly a masterpiece, and will be enjoyed by some fortunate family for years to come. MLS #4377049 | Offered at $5,950,000

Pow-Wows Keep Native American Heritage Alive and Accessible By Thomas P. Caldwell Those who live in the Lakes Region are familiar with the names: Winnipesaukee, Merrimack, Pemigewasset … all originating with the Native Americans who lived here before the white man set foot on the continent. Apart from the names, though, not much remains of the rich cultural heritage of the People of the Dawnland, the Abenaki. Most of the monuments and signs that mark the historic sites in the state present the colonists’ perspectives on history. The first publicly funded statue in New Hampshire was that of Hannah Duston, erected in 1874, commemorating her bloody escape from the Native Americans who had taken her and her daughter captive during King William’s War, also known as the French and Indian War. With the aid of two other captives, Hannah Duston killed and scalped 10 of the Native American family members holding them hostage on an island in the Merrimack River in present-day Boscawen. The Baker River, known to the Native Americans as Asquamchumauke, is named for Lt. Thomas Baker who, with a party of 34 scouts from Massachusetts, destroyed a Pemigewasset village in the valley. Massachusetts rewarded him by promoting him to captain and awarding 40 pounds as a scalp bounty. New Hampshire erected a highway marker to commemorate the event. Today, Native Americans are making progress in regaining a respect for their culture, largely through PowWows where they can showcase their

traditional ceremonies and regalia and through museums like the Mount Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner which offers classes and lectures as well as displaying artifacts and holding events where the public can learn more about the native peoples. The State of New Hampshire now has a Commission on Native American Affairs where members of state agencies meet with Native Americans to discuss such things as appropriate signs for the Hannah Duston Memorial as well as the proper disposition of archaeological finds involving ancient cultures. Pow-Wows, however, remain the most powerful way for outsiders to gain an understanding of the native ceremonies and culture. Groups such as the NH Intertribal Native American Council hold Pow-Wows during the year with a primary purpose of bringing together the scattered descendants of the Penacook, Winnipesaukee, Pigwacket, Cowasuck, and Ossipee tribes to keep their cultural traditions alive. A secondary purpose is to allow

non-natives to see and experience the ceremonies and help to celebrate a way of life that strives to remain in harmony with the environment. The Pow-Wow According to tradition, when the creator made the world, each tribe received a uniqueness and power that had to be in harmony with nature. In times of need, the Native Americans used fasting, sweats, and sacrifice as a means of reaching out to nature which responded through visions and voices. The songs and dances evolved around the imitation of animals and the natural forces, and were preserved through sacred “Pau Waus”. The Laconia Indian and Historical Association shares an interest in native ceremonies without the requirement that participants have Native American bloodlines. Anyone with an interest in preserving native culture is welcome to take part in LIHA activities, including their annual Labor Day Pow-Wow at the Dulac Land Trust in Sanbornton. LIHA has been leasing 30 acres off Osgood Road in Sanbornton for more

than 30 years, with the all-volunteer effort making improvements to the property each year. The Labor Day Pow-Wow is their largest event of the year. The first LIHA Pow-Wow took place on Sept. 2 – 4, 1972, with participants wearing whatever outfits they could get their hands on. It was not until much later that they began obtaining more authentic regalia, although they note that most outfits available today come from the western tribes, as there is little remaining of the history of the eastern tribes. This year’s Pow-Wow will run Aug. 30-31, with crafts, dancing, and “the biggest feast in the east”. Later in September, the NH Intertribal Native American Council will sponsor its 12th Mother Earth’s Creation PowWow at 2145 Route 16, West Ossipee. That Pow-Wow will run Sept. 13-14. Pow-Wows originally were associated with medicine men and spiritual leaders, but they have come to mean getting together for dancing, visiting, renewing friendships, and making new friends. There remains, however, a sacred element to the ceremonies, and outsiders are not permitted into the sacred circle, nor should photographs be taken of certain ceremonies. And some rituals cannot be performed in public because of their importance to Native Americans. Typically, only dancers and elders are allowed into the circle, and those entering go through a purifying “smudging” ritual in which sacred

M/S Mount Washington To Offer Labor Day Lobsterfest The M/S Mount Washington is offering a chance to celebrate the final days of summer with a Lobsterfest Cruise featuring fresh Maine lobsters and dancing to live music. The cruise will take place on Saturday, Aug. 30, and, in addition to lobster, it will offer barbecued chicken or a second entrée. The cruise will depart from Weirs Beach at 7 p.m. Ambiance will be provided by the sunset as the ship tours Lake Winnipesaukee. There will be live entertainment on the main deck and in the Flagship Lounge.

The M/S Mount Washington’s cruising season will continue until Oct. 19, offering daily cruises from its summer port of Weirs Beach, also serving the ports of Alton Bay, Center Harbor, Meredith, and Wolfeboro. Cruising times and options vary depending on the season. To learn more about the various vessels (M/S Mount Washington, Doris E., and Sophie C.) and to view a more complete schedule with cruise times and ticket prices, visit www.cruisenh. com or call 603-366-5531.

herbs are burned and the smoke is fanned over the dancer with a feather. The regalia (never referred to as a “costume”) holds special meaning, signified by the colors, numbers of elements, and other characteristics. Participants usually are happy to explain the meaning of their dress outside of the ceremonies and some will agree to be photographed. (Do not take photographs without asking first.) The drumming and songs are another important element of the ceremonies. Original songs were in the native languages of the singers, but sometimes new songs are added to honor warriors and families. Most of the dances are “social” dances, as the sacred dances, due to their religious significance and spirituality, are not performed in public. While some of the old war dances are still performed, they are done as honor dances to recognize valor. It is not uncommon for Pow-Wows to include “intertribal” dances in which anyone attending is welcome to participate. The master of ceremonies will announce such events. It is important to wait for the head man and head woman to begin dancing before joining in. Some of the dances will be restricted to certain participants, such as combat veterans. Apart from the etiquette for the sacred circle, there are rules of courtesy for other areas during PowWows. Tipis serve as living quarters for the dancers, drummers, and singers and visitors should not enter uninvited. Respect others’ possessions; do not sit upon a blanket left on the ground unless invited to do so, and do not touch the regalia without asking permission.

Since most Pow-Wows are nonprofit and depend upon donations, participants are welcome to drop money onto a blanket to aid in the Pow-Wow’s expenses. A general rule is that it is best to ask about anything one is unfamiliar with, as some rules vary from Pow-Wow to Pow-Wow. With these things in mind, a visit to a Pow-Wow can be both enlightening and refreshing. And it keeps the culture and traditions of Native Americans alive. Tribal Remnants The Abenaki tribes established villages along the rivers and lakes where they had access to the water for fishing and hunting. They set up fish traps, called weirs, at the spots where shad, salmon, and alewife would spawn. Until 1690, the Winnipesauke tribe of the Sokoki Nation lived along the banks of the Weirs Channel in what was the largest fishing village in New England. The fish weirs they used gave Weirs Beach its name. Members of LIHA helped to build a reproduction of the Aquadocton village at Funspot, an attraction in Weirs Beach. Other fishing spots were along the Merrimack, Connecticut, Saco, and Androscoggin rivers, and at Amoskeag Falls in what now is Manchester. Between conflicts with invading Mohawks and tensions with European settlers, as well as diseases such as smallpox and influenza, the native population in New England declined rapidly, leaving less than 1,000 Abenaki in New Hampshire today.

• Endicott Rock Continued from page 9 called “Endicott’s Pine”. The boundary lines for the land were very confusing, probably because surveying such vast and unknown property was difficult in those days. Indeed, the interior of the land was unexplored. Mason thought he owned some of the land, while the Massachusetts Bay Colony declared the land was theirs. To clear up the boundary confusion, the Massachusetts Colony sent out an exploration party in 1652 to establish the lines of their land grant. They decided that “a point three miles northward of the head of the Merrimack River” was the northern limit of the Colony’s territory. The Colony’s court decree stated that a party of men would set out to discover the north line of the patent. Captain Symond Willard and Captain Edward Johnson were appointed commissioners. They were ordered to “procure such artists and other assistance as they shall need to find out the most northerly part of Merrimack River, and that they be supplied with all manner of necessaries by the treasurer, fit for the journey, and they use their utmost skill and ability to make a true observation of the area.” Willard and Johnson were good choices to head the exploration party. Johnson was a leader in all Massachusetts Colonial affairs and Willard was a captain of the militia and a member of the general court from Concord MA. The men secured others for their party: Jonathan Ince, a scholar living in Cambridge, and John Sherman, a prominent citizen and land surveyor

from Watertown. Ince had the added distinction of being able to quickly learn and speak the Indian languages of the area. A few other Colony citizens accompanied the group, but guidance by those who knew the area well was important. Thus, Pontahaum and Ponbakin, two intelligent Native Americans who knew the territory, were asked to lead the trip. The area we know today as the Lakes Region at that time was densely forested and probably was confusing to travel through. Finally, the party came to a fork in the river at Franklin and were able to find the Endicott tree with initials carved from the party of men who had been there 14 years before. However, the party was confused as to which of the two forks in the river was the Merrimack. With the help of the Native American guides, the party took the fork at the right (the Winnipesaukee) and sailed up the river. Eventually the party arrived at the channel opening into Lake Winnipesaukee. At that spot was a large, well-shaped boulder, exactly at the head of the river. The white men carved their initials into the face of the rock, along with Governor Endicott’s name. That spot with carvings marked the fact that the party had been there. The white men must have met Native Americans living in the area, and what the natives thought of the strange visitors can only be imagined. (The Indians were known to continue living at the Weirs area until at least the 1690s.) The explorers left and life went on. The area was settled more and more by white men. The boulder that showed the carved initials of the exploration party so many years before was lost in

the trees that surrounded it. The exciting stories of Willard, Johnson, Sherman, and Ince’s adventure in the wilderness died with them. More than 150 years later, people in the area knew nothing of the initials carved on an obscure boulder. A laborer, Lang Maxfield, was employed by Stephen Lyford to remove the rocks that obstructed the Weirs channel. Maxfield, along with other crew members, was at work and came across the boulder with its strange markings. The year was 1833 and an account of the discovery goes: “The larger rocks were being drilled and shattered by explosives, and this ancient landmark might have shared the same fate but for the timely discovery of the almost indistinguishable lettering upon it. Mr. Lyford’s attention was called to the ‘queer marks’ and he partially deciphered the letters. The name of Governor Endicott was easily read.” The account continues that, on the same day, the discovery was made known to the eminent Judge Sawyer of Meredith Bridge (Laconia). The next morning Judge Sawyer, along with Lyford and a few other men, visited The Weirs and examined the rock’s carvings. Judge Sawyer set about investigating the carvings to learn whose initials had been placed there. The judge and his peers were unable to elicit much information about the carved initials, but the rock was determined to be important historically. A number of years after the discovery, the waters of Paugus and Winnipesaukee were controlled by a dam in Lakeport. Because it held back the water, the surface of the rock was covered much of the time. The passage

of time and water and ice were rapidly obliterating the carvings. In October 1880, two Italian artists from Boston made casts of the carved initials. One cast was given to the NH Historical Society in Concord. One was given to the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston. A third cast was given to the proprietors of the locks and canals of the Merrimack whose office was in Lowell MA. The NH Legislature feared the weather and water would eventually ruin the carvings so, on Sept. 7, 1883, and Aug. 25, 1885, it appropriated funds and the state appointed commissioners to ensure the rock’s preservation. Endicott Rock was formally dedicated in the fall of 1892. A granite memorial covered Endicott Rock to protect it. A gravel walk led to the rock memorial from the mainland. Bars covered the four openings to the rock, protecting it from vandals and the elements. Hundreds of years have passed since the Native Americans inhabited the “Beautiful Water in a High Place” at The Weirs. Those early encampments are gone, but the stories of the Aquadoctan villages have been passed down through the years. The old boulder inscribed with the initials of early explorers has seen it all. The area may change and time may pass, but the ancient boulder is a silent monument to the rich history of the Weirs area. To see Endicott Rock, travel Route 3 to Weirs Beach. Signs point the way to Endicott Park, where a stone enclosure protects the rock. Visitors can see the carvings on the rock by looking through the windows of the stone enclosure.

Local Act To Wrap Up Summer Concert Series The final performers in the 2014 Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concert series will not have to travel far to entertain the crowd. The Carolyn Ramsay Band, new to the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand series, is based in Wolfeboro and will be making its inaugural appearance on the bandstand on Saturday, Aug. 30, in the final concert of the 2014 summer series. The musicians who comprise the Carolyn Ramsay Band have known each other for years, but the band is relatively new, as the group formed in 2012. The band’s roots are in rock and folk music and the musicians paint the songs they cover in their own, unique way. Carolyn Ramsay grew up in Canada in a musical family and began playing guitar and singing in middle school. She hasn’t stopped since and her rhythm guitar and finger-picking style add to the overall sound of the band. Her daughter, Jessica Ramsay, has been inspired by music since her early childhood, growing up in Wolfeboro. She’s been influenced by classic country, blues, folk, R&B, and rock throughout her life, and all have had a part in honing her vocal style. Her higher voice blends nicely with her mother’s deep, rich tones to form a fantastic harmony at the front of the band. Chuck Farrell plays lead guitar for the band. He comes to the stage with

CAROLYN RAMSAY BAND performs Saturday, Aug. 30, in the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand. 20 years of musical experience in a number of genres, including rock and folk. Originally from Canada, he now calls central New Hampshire home and his unique style provides a great addition to the band’s full sound. Bud Clark keeps the music pumping on bass, with a strong rhythmic sense and a no-frills style. He has 30 years of experience in a variety of musical styles, including roots rock, R&B, folk, and traditional American music. Mike Chatigny rounds out the band on drums and background vocals. He comes to the band with a wide variety of experience throughout the region and up and down the East coast. He has

under his belt. The Carolyn Ramsay Band will bring a unique sound to some familiar music, but the band also has some original pieces that will get mixed into the concert, making sure there’s a little something for everyone when the band takes the stage. The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concert series runs each Saturday night in July and August at 7 p.m. in Cate Park, on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in downtown Wolfeboro. The 2014 season is the 20th year that the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand have been bringing free concerts to Wolfeboro. While there is no charge to come and listen to the show, a pass-the-bucket donation is taken during intermission and money collected during the concert helps to support the concert series each year. In event of inclement weather, the concert will be cancelled and a sign will be posted at the entrance to the park near the town docks.

NH Boat Museum Offers Talk On Earlier Life Of MV Mount Washington Rich Strum, author of Ticonderoga: Lake Champlain Steamboat, will give a presentation on “The Steamboat Chateaugay: The Earlier Life of the Mount Washington” on Thursday, Aug. 28, at the NH Boat Museum in Wolfeboro. The free lecture will begin at 7 p.m., with light refreshments to follow. The steamer Chateaugay was the first steel-hulled vessel in the fleet of steamboats operating in New York on Lake Champlain and Lake George under the ownership of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. Entering service in 1888, the Chateaugay served on Lake Champlain on and off through 1939 when she was retired. Her hull was shipped by rail in sections to Lake Winnipesaukee where it was reassembled as the new MS Mount Washington. Rich’s talk will focus on the Chateaugay’s years on Lake Champlain, along with those of her sister steamers. He will provide an overview of the history of steamboating on Lake Champlain dating back to

1809, through the retirement of the last lake steamer (the Ticonderoga) in 1953. The Chateaugay paved the way for an entire fleet of modern steel-hulled steamers on Lake Champlain and Lake George that totaled six by 1911. Rich worked at the Shelburne Museum in Vermont, the current home of the steamer Ticonderoga, from 1989 to 1999. While on the staff at the Shelburne, he served on the exhibition team that developed and implemented an interpretation plan for the steamer as she neared the completion of an extensive, seven-year restoration project. The newly restored vessel with new exhibitions was symbolically “rechristened” in September 1998. In addition to writing Ticonderoga: Lake Champlain Steamboat, Rich is the author of three books for young readers related to 18th century history. He has been the director of Education at Fort Ticonderoga since 1999. For more information, call the NH Boat Museum at 603-569-4554 or visit www.nhbm.org.
