October Brings “Spooktacular” Events to the Lakes Region

By Sarah Wright There’s a chill in the air and pumpkins everywhere, which means that autumn is finally here! And when the leaves fall and begin to crunch under your feet, you know that Halloween is near.

I love Halloween. I don’t particularly go for the scary stuff, but I enjoy the creative costumes, creepy decorations, and of course, the candy. All those funsize chocolate bars and candy corn are lining store shelves. But you don’t have to wait until Halloween to celebrate all things spooky—there are plenty of events throughout the month to get you in the “ghostly” spirit.

On October 15 at the Squam Lakes Science Center, bring the kids to the Halloween Hoot ’N Howl from 6 to 8:30 pm. Enjoy an eerily entertaining 40-minute guided tour around the Science Center grounds. Trail walks feature live skits with a seasonal theme and depart every 10 minutes from 6 to 7:30 pm. Come in costume and dress suitably for outdoor weather. After your journey, warm up with Halloween games and tasty treats. The Science Center is located at 23 Science Center Road in Holderness. Call 603-9687194 or visit www.nhnature.org for further information.

Plan to leave the kids at home for the Pumpkin Masquerade Ball on October 21, presented by the Belknap House in Laconia. Arrive in your best formal or semi-formal attire, with a mask to hide your true identity. Grab a drink at the bar and enjoy a night of dancing with DJ Chris Ialuna, ice breaker games, and

a silent auction. You’ll also feast on a full dinner, prepared by Manchester’s award-winning Recipe for Success chefs. Dine on elegant hors d’oeuvres, cinnamon-encrusted pork and chutney at the carving station, macaroni and cheese with smoked vegetables, a vegetarian pasta dish, and three amazing dessert choices. Let’s not forget the tempting candy tables. It’s “trick-or-treating” taken up a notch!

The Pumpkin Masquerade Ball will be held at the St. Andre Bessette Parish Hall on Gilford Avenue in Laconia, from 6 to 11 pm. Tickets are available at www.belknaphouse.org or at The Studio on 598 Main Street, Laconia.

If your Halloween isn’t complete without a good scare, you’ll have a screaming good time at the haunted attraction, Mayhem at the Mill. The Belknap Mill Society is proud to host this “Russ Davis Production,” a super scary, professionally designed haunted house, located at 25 Beacon Street East in Laconia. All those who dare to enter can do so from 7 to 11 pm on October 21 and 22 as well as on October 28 and 29. Proceeds from the brave souls’ admission will benefit

the Belknap Mill’s preservation and its programming for children and adults of all ages. For further information, visit www.belknapmill.org.

Also in Laconia, plan to “Live Free and Carve” at the New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival, one of the largest fall events in the state. The festival was moved to Laconia from Keene last year, and it was a big success. Don’t miss the full day of events and activities this year on October 22. You won’t want to miss seeing over 20,000 Jack-O-Lanterns on display, purchasing food and crafts from over 80 vendors, watching the Grand Parade, and enjoying haunted attractions, scenic train rides, games, amusement rides, live entertainment, and more. There’s even a 5K/10K race in the morning to participate in, or just cheer from the sidelines. To get the latest information about the festival, including the event schedule, visit www.nhpumpkinfestival.com.

Speaking of pumpkins, don’t miss the “Great Pumpkin Drop” at Moulton Farm at 18 Quarry Road in Meredith.

At the end of the season, the farm takes all the leftover pumpkins and hauls them together in a net that’s then lifted

up by a crane. Everyone is welcome to come and witness the countdown to the amazing drop and hear the wonderful “thud” when all the pumpkins hit the ground. After they fall, kids love to run into the pile to examine the pieces.

Last year, one lucky boy found a whole pumpkin still intact! He took it home as a souvenir. The drop marks the end of a whole weekend of fun on October 22 and 23. On Saturday, families can enjoy music, Halloween stories, and a magic show. On Sunday before the 4 pm drop, there will be more music, along with special guest Steve Roberts, a science teacher from Inter-Lakes Middle School. Steve will be using science to explode pumpkins! Who wouldn’t want to see that? On both days, there will also be free tractor rides from noon to 4 pm, games, food sampling, and pumpkin decorating. Call 603279-3915 for more information or visit www.moultonfarm.com.

On October 22, show off your costume at Funspot’s Costume Party, from 6 to 10 pm, in Weirs Beach. Kids in costume will receive free tokens and a small bag of treats. It’s great fun for kids, and you may even take home a prize in the costume contest!

Visit www.funspotnh.com for more information.

Another place offering treats for kids on October 22 is the amazing Halloween Town party next to the King Pine Ski Area on Route 153 in East Madison. An event hosted by • October Events Continued on page 4

Carpe Diem, America’s Premier “Indie” String Quartet The Wolfeboro Friends of Music presents the nationally acclaimed and award winning Carpe Diem String Quartet on Saturday, October 29 at 7:30 pm at Brewster’s Anderson Hall in Wolfeboro.

The members of Carpe Diem - Charles Wetherbee, violin, Amy Galluzo, violin, Korine Fujiwara, viola, and Carol Ou, cello – fuse their virtuosity with a unique commitment to evolving the traditional chamber music experience for audiences of all backgrounds and interests in a way that is guaranteed to entertain.

Carpe Diem defies easy classification with programming that reflects its passions for Gypsy, tango, folk, pop, rock, and jazz-inspired music, and has become one of America’s premiere “indie” string quartets, without sacrificing its commitment to the traditional quartet repertoire. Audiences and critics alike, from coast to coast, have raved about this unique fusion of styles and genres, noting that Carpe Diem delivers the classical repertoire with clarity and excellence of the highest standards, while also championing contemporary music at an extraordinary level that places them among the best, most diverse, modern string quartets around. The quartet continues to rack up accolades and awards. For three consecutive years, Carpe Diem was the only quartet in America chosen to receive an Arts Alive Award from the PNC Foundation. Carpe Diem is the resident ensemble for Columbus (OH) Dance Theatre, and their joint project, The String Machine, was aired by WOSU-PBS television and nominated

for an Emmy award.

Saturday evening’s program will be sure to delight, with the first half of the program focused in the ClassicalRomantic period, with the works of Franz Schubert and the passionate Mendelssohn Quartet No. 3, Op. 44.

After intermission, the program will pivot to the twentieth century, with a vibrant arrangement of Autumn, from a work by the revolutionary Argentinian composer Astor Piazzola. The program will conclude with an original work by the group’s violist, Korine Fujiwara, Fiddle Suite Montana, the critically acclaimed title track from Carpe Diem’s album, Montana.

Wolfeboro Friends of Music is pleased to bring the Carpe Diem String Quartet to the people of the greater Lakes Region during its 81st season, which runs from September through May. The concert is made possible, in large part, to sponsors for the concert: J. Clifton Avery Insurance Sugar Hill Retirement Community, and MillRiver Wealth Management. WFOM also thanks season sponsors: Benefit Strategies, LLC and Paul & Debbie Zimmerman.

Tickets for Carpe Diem String Quartet are available for $25 and may be purchased at the door on the evening of the concert. Advance tickets may be purchased at Black’s Paper Store and Avery Insurance in Wolfeboro and Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith; by calling 603-569-2151.

Wolfeboro Library Program To Focus on Travel in Spain Come and see a very different view of Spain than you ever imagined when you attend Spain: A Magical Mystery Tour with UNH Professor John Chaston, as Wolfeboro Public Library continues its 2016 Travel the World theme on Thursday, October 13 at 7 pm in the library meeting room.

Designed to educate those unable to travel to Spain and to give travel ideas to those who will, this presentation provides a video, pictures, music, and commentary with a whirlwind tour of some of the wonders, legends and characters of Spain from the beginning of its history to the present day. Included are snippets and insights into the people, history, fiestas, art, architecture, music, dances, sports and cuisine (pictures and a few recipes only, unfortunately no samples!) of this wondrous country.

Professor Chaston says the program

will even cover some out-of-the-way areas that organized tours never go.

Chaston is an associate professor of Spanish at the University of New Hampshire. He currently teaches linguistics and culture and is the director of the UNH Study Abroad to Granada, Spain program. He has lived a significant amount of time in Spain, including a number of semesters as resident director of the UNH-Granada program.

The library is able to bring Professor Chaston’s program Spain: A Magical Mystery Tour to Wolfeboro courtesy of the UNH Speakers Bureau. As always, Wolfeboro Public Library’s programs are free and open to all; the library is located at South Main Street in Wolfeboro. For more information call 603-569-2428 or visit www. wolfeborolibrary.org.

A Courthouse Auction

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper It was a very large building when completed in 1916. In Ossipee, the Carroll County Courthouse was part of a busy community. The train brought all sorts of people, from businessmen to tourists bound for the White Mountains, to the town. Of course, a courthouse was necessary and it housed offices for many busy people, from clerks to judges (there was even a jail cell for the unruly who were awaiting trial). The new court house replaced the original circa 1839 structure and must have seemed an impressive building, with its large white columned entrance and brick exterior.

Over the years, the courthouse served the community and the

county well. The first trial to hit the judge’s courtroom was an infamous one: that of Frederick Small. The trial was big news, because it was a mystery how Small, known to be abusive to his wife, Florence, could have murdered her and burned down their Ossipee home when he was in Boston on a business trip. He was eventually found guilty and hanged for the crime and the Carroll County Courthouse was known as the place where Small’s fate was sealed.

The Courthouse saw many legal proceedings, both large and small,

and served the county well until it was determined a larger building with more parking was needed.

The Courthouse was in the modest downtown area where parking was not abundant and a new location was found for a roomier Courthouse with more parking.

But what to do with the old Courthouse in downtown Ossipee?

The county deeded the building to the Ossipee Historical Society with the stipulation that it would be used on a continuing basis. Indeed, with the Historical Society at the helm, the building has been used for meetings and programs in the historic courtroom. It also is used to display and house artifacts and other items.

The building is in good condition, thanks to the repairs made by the Historical Society over time. But it costs money to keep a building in good condition, and to that end the Society will be holding an auction fundraiser on October 23 at the courthouse.

The auction is spearheaded by Historical Society member Shirley Ganem (who came up with the idea for the event.) When the Historical Society accepted the deed, they agreed to keep the building in good condition and they have done so.

October 10, 2016 But to be prepared for future repairs that will crop up, funds needed to be raised and set aside.

Shirley has been working with the Society 2006 to raise $50,000; the amount raised thus far is $32,000. Shirley’s wish is that if she spearheaded the effort to raise the money, the courtroom in the historic courthouse will be named for her husband, the late Philip J. Ganem, a well-respected attorney who worked in Carroll County for 50 years. He was also the hard working clerk of the court and knew the Courthouse well.

The upcoming auction will feature many wonderful donated items, from antiques and collectibles to gift certificates. Ossipee auctioneer Gary Wallace (Gary Wallace Auctions), will oversee the event.

Says Shirley, “Gary really

believes in preserving the old courthouse and we know he will do a great job as auctioneer.”

The auction will take place in the old courtroom, adding a unique setting for the fundraiser. Auction attendee seating will be on the benches of the courthouse, as well as in the original chairs and even in the jury box!

What could be better than sitting in the historic courtroom as you bid on items that will help keep the building in top-notch condition and also honor the memory of dedicated local attorney, Philip Ganem?

Items that will be up for auction include some “nice antique furniture,” according to Shirley, “including a Cannon Ball bed.”

Other donated items of note include a wonderful cast-iron toy carriage with a horse, a Birdcage Windsor chair, a Peter Ferber print, pottery,

Many years have passed since the building was completed in 1916 – 100 years to be exact – but the old Carroll County Superior Courthouse, now owned and cared for by the Ossipee Historical Society, lives on.

New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival The three subsidiaries of New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp together are supporting the 2016 New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival to be held in Laconia on Saturday, October 22. Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB), Merrimack County Savings Bank (the Merrimack) and MillRiver Wealth Management will be this year’s pumpkin tower sponsors.

Sponsor Executives, Philip Emma, President of Merrimack County Savings Bank; Paul Provost, President of MillRiver Wealth Management; Rick Wyman, President of Meredith Village Savings Bank and Sam Laverack, President and CEO of NH Mutual Bancorp, recently met with Karmen Gifford, President of the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, to discuss plans for the upcoming event.

“The Pumpkin Festival, which moved to Laconia last year, is a community-based event that attracts visitors from all over New England. We’re thrilled to have such community-centered organizations involved,” said Gifford.

“The organization that founded the NH Pumpkin Festival confidently turned the event over to the team in the Lakes Region this year. We’re excited to have the opportunity to

further develop the family offerings and better advertise the event.”

Emma, Provost, Wyman and Laverack noted that they were excited to step in to sponsor the tower – a sponsorship that was previously held by national companies. “MVSB, the Merrimack and MillRiver are steeped in nearly 150 years of supporting the local community,” said Laverack. “Families and businesses throughout the region will be attending the event.

It’s wonderful knowing our support will contribute to the enjoyment of so many,” said Laverack.

The Chamber expects upwards of 40,000 attendees. Visitors will see 20,000 jack-o-lanterns, and get to select from more than 80 food and craft vendors. This year will also include amusement rides, a grand parade, haunted attractions, scenic train rides, games, live entertainment and a 5K and 10K road race.

“The Pumpkin Festival is a New England tradition,” added Gifford.

“We’re grateful to MVSB, the Merrimack and MillRiver. Their support helps us give even more to our visitors.” The NH Pumpkin Festival was previously held in Keene from 1991 through 2014, before the Lakes Region Chamber volunteered to host the 2015 event in Laconia.

Who Lived Here Before?

Story and photos by Barbara Neville Wilson It is now truly, finally, fall. Night comes early. Frost threatens. Dawn comes slowly. Mists hover on coloredged rivers and pond. Cobwebs weave suspicious images.

For me, this season always brings a certain wish for mystery, so I turn the corner from Tuftonboro’s wellpopulated Federal Corner Road and begin a walk on the mostlydeserted North Line Road. Soon I am in Brighton, a once-prosperous section of Tuftonboro.

My interest is piqued. What will I find? Who lived here? I’ve spent a summer writing stories for the Laker about lives gone by, of once-grand homes, boathouses, and motorcraft built by people who had spare funds to invest in luxurious lifestyles and toys. Their stories are documented by houses and receipts, diaries and folklore. The lives of Brighton, however, are less well known. Brighton residents made a living on farms for a handful of decades, then left the land. Today I’m walking along a road once the life cord of the neighborhood.

It is—at its best—a rough road through dense forest.

I have done some homework.

According to the 1923 The History of Tuftonboro, NH, Brighton was once home to 15 to 20 families in eight or 10 houses. Its west/east boundaries spanned from Mount Pleasant (just west of the northernmost point of the current Sandy Knoll Road off Route 109A) nearly to Stockbridge Corner in Wolfeboro. It stretched up across Mount Pleasant toward

Brown Road and Lower Beech Pond.

In his history, the Rev. John Hayley, a native of Tuftonboro, recounts the families that lived along the road. Many names are familiar in town today: Walker and Piper, Brown and Hodsdon. (Is it possible it is their descendants I see at the post office and town hall?)

It’s hard to imagine this path being a bustling thoroughfare, but as I walk, I look for signs of what once was.

The first obvious sign of man’s presence is the stonewalls on either side of the way. The road was laid out

WATER... It’s the only part of your home you will consume.

48 feet wide in 1816 and property owners were probably assessed a certain length of stonewall to build as their contribution to the town.

This would account for the variety of styles I see on my walk. At one point a carefully crafted wall still standing three or more feet high is on my left, while a sparse collection of boulders with little fill stands to the right. My imagination immediately starts conjuring reasons why one property owner may have been more diligent in his building than another, but is that even fair? Nearly 200 years have passed since the original project; it’s even possible

that a later logging project or repair has changed the first walls built.

The width of the road is itself surprising. A road built 48 feet wide today would exceed NH Department of Transportation standards required for a road carrying more than 1,500 vehicles daily. Forty-eight feet was the same width required

by Colonial Governor Wentworth for his prized “Governor’s Road,” meant to accommodate loads of heavy mast trees from inner New Hampshire to the coast. What grand plan did the designers have for the North Line Road? Yet the same stonewalls built two centuries ago by days of backbreaking labor are the tumbledown outer edges of a forest tunnel.

At the recently groomed but still eroded road up to Mount Pleasant, I look and wonder if that is the same lane up the mountain Rev. Hayley spoke of. In his childhood, in the 1850s and 60s, he says there was a cottage at the foot of Mount Pleasant lived in by Asa Walker and his grandfather, “a Revolutionary soldier, whom I dimly recall.”

Hoping to touch a piece of history, I wander off the road to find a cellar hole, but have no luck.

At each grassy lane off North Line, I repeat the exercise, hoping to see a sign of ancient life: a chimney, foundation masonry or rubble, but though my hopes rise once, the remains are obviously postBrighton: a 2 x 4 foot, machineforged nails, a muddy t-shirt, and a plastic bucket. The only sound is

wind through the trees.

A bit of steel cable there, a short run of barbed wire there, a recent surveyor’s marker. As the sun rides lower and I approach the Wolfeboro line, the crickets start singing. Aha! I spy them! I see three, sometimes four runs of stone sunk a foot or more deep round a rectangular indentation. With amateur certainty, and perhaps just a touch of resolve that my search not come up empty, I determine they mark a cellar hole.

Obviously, I assure myself this marks a home, and I take the next step, too. I insert a narrative that starts with love and a life close to this road connecting mountains and sea and ends with the heartache of a quaint life torn apart by industrialization and westward expansion.

I read a lot of Nancy Drew, Dickens and Little House on the Prairie in my pre-adolescence. It comes out in moments like this.

Reluctantly turning around as the afternoon wanes and evening chores call, my pace quickens. Just beyond a horribly eroded downhill, I stop dead. There are three massive stonewalls below road level to my left. They stretch at least 30 feet on long sides and 20 feet on short, and the ground drops below road level at least four feet. How did I miss

this when travelling before?

Is this the “site of an important cattle market” referred to in the Tuftonboro, New Hampshire Cemeteries, Graveyard & Burial Sites 1800-1995 book?

I itch to explore, but with swiftleaving sunlight and sudden eerie silence, I heed the chill. I’ll just come back another day, I assure myself. Besides, a warm home and dinner wait.

Our region is rife with signs of lives lived here in years gone by.

Brighton is just one example of an area where farming tailored the landscape in the mid-1850s. As the West opened to easier farming and factories drew young people to cities, many hamlets were deserted and their fields returned to forest.

Two helpful resources to better understand the transition of our forests and clues to unlock their mysteries are New England Forests Through Time: Insights from the Harvard Forest Dioramas by David R. Foster and John F. O’Keefe, and Reading the Forested Landscape: A Natural History New England by Tom Wessels.

Local history books, websites and historical societies are rich resources for learning more about Brighton-like hamlets in your area.

Indigo Girls at Capitol Center October 30 The Indigo Girls will be appearing at the Capitol Center for the Arts (CCA) in Concord, New Hampshire on Sunday, October 30 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are currently on sale at the CCA box office.

Amy Ray and Emily Saliers are the Indigo Girls. Rolling Stone describes them as the “ideal duet partners. Their voices soar and swoop as one, alternately raucous and soothing. When they sing together, they radiate a sense of shared purpose that adds muscle to their lanky, deeply felt folk-tinged pop songs.”

Together, they write, arrange, record and perform music, which over the course of 25 years has become a vital part of the lives of their legion of devoted fans around the world, informing and rewarding them day to day.

With 12 original studio albums, three live records, various Greatest Hits compilations, a Rarities and a Christmas record to their credit, the iconic duo continues to challenge itself creatively, over and over again, adding to a body of work that contains such contemporary classic songs as Galileo, Shame on You, Closer To Fine, Kid Fears, Love of Our Lives, Making Promises, Get out the Map, Moment of Forgiveness, Least Complicated and Go. After numerous Grammy nominations and awards and gold and platinum certifications and decades of touring in clubs, arenas and everything in between, Indigo Girls remain active and relevant, always viewing their music as a fresh opportunity for exploration and discovery.

“We really work hard to not lean on

any tried-and-true path in making our albums,” says Ray. “So when it comes to writing new songs and working and performing with different musicians, every record and every tour feels like a completely different adventure for us.”

Opening for Indigo Girls is Becky Warren (www.beckywarren.com), whose recent solo debut “War Surplus” relays the affecting, gritty and candid tale of the relationship between an Iraq-bound soldier named Scott and his girlfriend, June.

Tickets for the October 30 performance may be ordered by calling the Capitol Center for the Arts at (603) 225-1111 or online at www.ccanh.com. Tickets may also obtained at the CCA’s box office at 44 South Main St., Concord, NH, which is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 am to 6 pm and Saturdays from 11 am to 2 pm.

The award-winning Capitol Center for the Arts (www.ccanh.com) inspires, educates, and entertains audiences

by providing a quality venue for the performing arts as well as a wide range of professional-level, artistically-significant

presentations. The Center is conveniently located off Rt. 93 in downtown Concord, New Hampshire and is close to several quality restaurants, shopping boutiques, and other area attractions. The facility first opened in 1927 as the Capitol Theatre, a prime stop on the Vaudeville circuit; it later became Concord’s premier movie house and concert hall. After closing in 1989, it underwent a multi-million dollar renovation / modernization and reopened in 1995 as the Capitol Center for the Arts.

Today, the Capitol Center is home to the 1304-seat Chubb Theatre, the Spotlight Café, The Governor’s Hall ballroom, and the Kimball House, a Victorian mansion.

McIninch Foundation Awards $25,000 to the Belknap Mill Society The Belknap Mill Society has been the grateful recipient of many generous contributions to its Raise the Roof campaign. Most recently, the Society was pleased to announce a $25,000 grant award from the McIninch Foundation. The Foundation’s award will help support the replacement of the Mill’s roof and fund critical repairs needed to the elevator.

Said Douglas McIninch, Trustee of the McIninch Foundation, “The McIninch Foundation is pleased to continue putting actual and figurative roofs over the heads of deserving New Hampshire nonprofits and charities such as the Belknap Mill.”

In truth, the Foundation’s grant does so much more than that. While the roof is a very visible sign of the ongoing work to preserve the historic building, much of the work of preserving and operating the facility is less obvious.

For nearly 45 years, the Mill’s elevator has provided accessibility for all members of the public to the upper levels of the building – in particular, to the event space in the third floor Rose Chertok Gallery. In the last six months, the elevator’s operating panel has showed signs of its age. It is the Society’s priority to ensure that the elevator is consistently available for use, so that individuals of all ages and abilities can participate in the events and programs at the Mill.

Allison Ambrose, President of the Belknap Mill Society, commented on the Mill’s importance as a community and civic center. “We are, first and foremost, a gathering place for all members of the Lakes Region community. Our mission is about creating access as much as it is about providing programming. The Society wants to ensure that everyone can experience the culture and history that define our community.”

Preserving the historic Belknap Mill is the work of the entire community.

To make a donation to preserve the Belknap Mill, email development@ belknapmill.org or call 603-524-8813.

The Belknap Mill Society is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve the Belknap Mill as the Lakes Region’s unique historic gathering place and the community’s center for award-winning cultural and educational programs. Built in 1823, the Belknap Mill is the oldest unaltered textile mill in the United States and is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places as a site worthy of preservation. The Society relies on the continued support of donors and its members.

To learn more about the Belknap Mill Society, to make a general donation or to learn about becoming a member, visit www.belknapmill.org. or call 603-524-8813.

Conservation never stops for the Squam Lakes Association (SLA), a non-profit organization in Holderness that works to protect the ecological health and natural beauty of the Squam Watershed. However, there are some warm-weather activities that cease as winter approaches such as milfoil removal, boating, and camping on Moon and Bowman Islands. and the paraphernalia associated with the activities/projects need to be put away, On Saturday, Oct. 15 from 9:30 am to 3 pm, volunteers and staff from the SLA will be spending the day on Squam Lake packing up the summer equipment and preparing for the months ahead.

The SLA has a job for every volunteer, including removing docks and swim lines, rebuilding tent platforms on the island campsites, maintaining sections
