Enjoy the Foliage on a Fall Hike!

By Sarah Wright The foliage season is finally upon us, and there are beautiful shades of yellow, orange, and red starting to pop up all around the Lakes Region.

It’s the perfect time of year to enjoy a hike, with comfortable temperatures, and amazing views of the colorful leaves all around us. I enjoy hiking, what with two active boys of my own, but I consider myself a “recreational” hiker. I’m not looking for a strenuous workout—just a way to connect with nature and enjoy its beauty. There are so many great options in this area, but here are a couple of fall hikes that I’ve already checked off my list this year.

Lockes Hill in Gilford is a favorite hike for my family. Down the road from Mount Major on Route 11, the views are similar (although at a lower elevation). It’s also a shorter loop trail at about 1.8 miles long. A small sign on the side of the road will indicate where the parking area is located. It’s not a busy trail, so parking shouldn’t be difficult. The last time we went, we noticed some locals walking their dogs, but we had the trail to ourselves for most of the hike.

There are two trails to the top—the Quarry Trail and the Lakeview Trail.

We usually take the Quarry Trail for the hike up. The trail is clearly marked, and there are signs posted along the way with nature facts about trees and animals. It’s a great way for kids to learn as they hike, and it gives them something to keep them occupied. The

East Peak of Copple Crown Mountain in Brookfield.

Quarry Trail runs along a small stream for part of the way, and by a still pond.

It’s also the longer side of the loop, and rockier, so if you have younger children, you may want to choose the Lakeview Trail to the summit and then go back down that same way. My kids don’t have a problem on the Quarry Trail, but it’s definitely the longer way up.

There is quite a bit to explore once you reach the summit. The views of Lake Winnipesaukee are beautiful, and there’s even a viewfinder that kids can look through to see the islands close up. In the summer, there are wild

L I V I N G RUST I C

blueberries to snack on. On the way down the Lakeview Trail side, you’ll find another viewpoint, with large rock “chairs” created by hikers years ago. It certainly takes the idea of rock cairns to a whole new level! The trail then winds its way back and forth, zig-zagging down to the parking lot. Lockes Hill is definitely a fun time.

Copple Crown Mountain in Brookfield (near Wolfeboro), is another great hike, with wonderful views of Southern New Hampshire from the clifftop outlook of the East Peak and partially obstructed views of the Belknap Mountains, the Ossipee

Range, and the Lakes Region from the summit. I prefer the East Peak, with its endless rolling hills and mountains that spread out below you from the cliff and seem to go on forever. I could honestly admire that view for hours! The trail is about 2.5 miles altogether, and if leaves are wet on the ground, watch your footing. It’s a great hike, and one that certainly isn’t crowded. When we go, we might see one or two other hikers along the way, so it’s very peaceful. To get to the trailhead, follow Route 109 west from Wakefield for about a mile before turning left onto Governor’s Road. Then turn right on Moose Mountain Road, and after about 1.5 miles, the pavement will end. Shortly after that, you’ll find a sign for the Ellis R. Hatch Wildlife Management Area, and a small parking lot. Bring some water and a snack to enjoy at the top!

This year, I’ve added a new hike to our list that we’ll try this month, and that’s West Rattlesnake Mountain, in Holderness. A popular destination, it’s a two-mile hike with a fairly easy incline that leads to a rocky outcropping with spectacular views of Squam Lake.

It’s also one of the shortest hikes in the state that offers an amazing view, which is another reason that it’s so appealing. I’ve seen lots of views of Lake Winnipesaukee, but I can’t wait to take this hike and see the beautiful fall colors around Squam Lake! To get • Hike Continued on page 4

Wright Museum to Present Final Lecture of 2018 Season On Tuesday, October 9 from 7 to 8 pm, the Wright Museum will host the final lecture of 2018 with UNH Professor Thomas Jackson discussing the history and influence of WWII-era films.

Sponsored by Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney, the entire 2018 series was described as “a tremendous success” by Mike Culver, executive director of the Wright Museum.

“We have had great turnouts for the lectures this year,” he said. “We thank Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney for sponsoring another fantastic year of the Wright Lecture Series. From educational talks to documentary films and music, this series engaged all senses this year.”

Regarding the last lecturer, Culver noted it provides insight into emergence of commercial films as powerful storytelling tools during WWII. “FDR, Stalin, and Hitler recognized

• Hike Continued from page 3

early that this new medium of documentary film, along with news reels, were potentially very powerful communication tools,” he said.

At the lecture, Jackson will show brief segments from classic documentaries and discuss the stylistic and technical influences that are still used in many productions today.

“This is a fascinating lecture that provides insight into a medium that is still used much to the same effect today,” added Culver.

Admission for this final lecture is $3 for members and $8 for non-members.

Seating is limited, and reservations can be made by calling 603-569-1212.

The Wright Museum is open daily through October 31 from 10 am to 4 pm, Monday through Saturday, and noon to 4 pm on Sundays. For more information, visit www.wrightmuseum. org.

there, take Route 113 to the Old Bridle Path in Holderness. Don’t forget to bring your camera.

This past summer, I hiked the Falls of Song waterfall trail at Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough, and I bought a map so I could return to experience some of the other wonderful trails on the property. Now that fall has arrived, I’m planning to hike the Bald Knob trail, and can’t wait to see the foliage from the summit!

Now, before you set out for a hike on a beautiful fall day, it’s important to keep safety in mind, especially with fluctuating fall temperatures.

According to www.hikesafe.com, there is a Hiker Responsibility Code, which was developed and endorsed by The White Mountain National Forest and New Hampshire Fish and Game. The code is also posted at all major trailheads in New Hampshire. It includes the following safety guidelines: Be prepared with appropriate knowledge and gear. Learn about the terrain and weather conditions for where you are going. Know how to use your gear.

Let someone else know your plans.

Tell a friend what trails you will be hiking on and when you expect to return.

Hiking groups should stick together, and not let anyone become separated.

Pace your hike to the slowest person in the group.

Hikers should always be ready to turn back if circumstances, such as changing weather, dictate. Know your limitations and be willing to turn back.

You can always try again another day.

Hikers should be ready for emergencies. Even on an hour-long hike, accidents can happen. Don’t expect to be rescued. Learn how you can help rescue yourself.

Most people think to wear sturdy shoes and bring a water bottle, but there are 10 hiking essentials recommended

by The NH Fish and Game Department.

These include a map; a compass; clothing layers, including a hat; extra food and water; a flashlight or headlamp; matches/fire starters; first aid kit/repair kit; a whistle to call for help; a rain/wind jacket and pants; and a pocket knife. You’ll be able to relax and enjoy your nature outing, knowing that you’re prepared. Happy hiking and leaf peeping!

Squam Lakes Hiking…and Bicknell’s Thrush Fall is the perfect time to get out and hike in the Squam Watershed. Located on the southern edge of the White Mountain National Forest, this 50-plus mile trail network is managed by the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) and contains a variety of summits with outstanding views of Squam Lake and the surrounding high peaks.

Throughout October, the SLA is offering meet-up hikes scheduled each week. There is no cost to attend the hikes and they are not intended to be guided events. This allows participants to hike at their own pace and go as far down the trail as they wish to venture. This is the perfect opportunity to meet other folks interested in hiking, to enjoy a day out on the trail, and to learn more about the SLA trails.

The hikes are part of SLA’s Squam Ranger check list, a program that supports the management of the beloved trails. Since 2012, 180 people have joined the Squam Ranger program for $50 for 50 miles, and 33 people have completed all 50 miles. With 25,000 to 30,000 annual hikers on Rattlesnakes’ Old Bridle Trail alone, maintenance is a daunting task. The SLA performs over 2,500 hours of trail construction and maintenance each year, and the $50 initiation fee helps offset the cost of maintaining the trails.

By joining the Squam Rangers program, you receive a hiking t-shirt, back pack, Squam Trail Guide, Squam Wildlife Guide, and Trail Log. Upon

PSU Professor to Present Rare Bicknell’s Thrush Project Plan to be at the Squam Lakes Association in Holderness on Wednesday, October 10 from 6 to 7 pm when guest speaker, Dr. Mary Ann McGarry, will give a special presentation about Plymouth State University’s Forest to Forest Bicknell’s Thrush Cluster Project.

The Bicknell’s Thrush is one of North America’s rarest and most vulnerable songbirds. Nesting only in mountaintop forests of northern New England and New York, and wintering primarily on the island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti), Bicknell’s Thrush faces numerous threats to its long-term survival. On its breeding grounds, these include atmospheric pollution, ski area development, communications tower construction, wind power development, mercury contamination, and climate change. The species’ limited winter habitats are also under siege from deforestation, caused by human population pressures.

In a world where our differences are increasingly emphasized, can a tiny bird connect disparate cultures, landscapes, and economic priorities?

The project introduces a rare bird that spends summers in the high peaks as a catalyst for thinking about sustainable development in the Northeastern U.S.

and Canada, and the Caribbean, and how the Bicknell’s Thrush represents a vital conservation link across international boundaries.

“The bird represents an opportunity for multinational, multicultural collaboration, conservation, and conversations,” notes McGarry, a professor at Plymouth State University and Co-Cluster Administrator for the Tourism, Environment, and Sustainable Development Cluster.

The program is free and open to the public and all are welcome to attend.

Light refreshments and snacks will be provided by the SLA. The location of this event will be at the Squam Lakes Association, located at 534 US Rt. 3 in Holderness, NH. For more information on the Squam Rangers or Bicknell’s Thrush program, visit www.squamlakes.org or call 603968-7336.

The British Are Coming!

The nature of New England will be on full display to the world this October.

BBC and PBS have announced they are bringing the popular annual BBC series Autumwatch to New Hampshire, specifically the Squam Lakes region, to celebrate autumn in New England.

This live televised event will focus on the wildlife, history, culture, food, and arts of the Lakes Region. It will be hosted by travel journalist Samantha Brown, BBC presenter Chris Packham, and wildlife cinematographer Bob Poole.

The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center will play an integral role in the

event. Producers first contacted the Science Center in 2017 to talk about it being a possible location. After many conversations and site visits, it was confirmed that Autumnwatch would come to Squam Lake. Production team members and drone camera operators have been visiting the site regularly and capturing footage of the changing landscape throughout the seasons.

The Science Center will provide expert naturalists to speak about and show wildlife native to New Hampshire. In addition, live cameras will be set up around the Science Center’s 200-plus acre property to

Annual Meeting and Turkey Dinner The Belknap County Farm Bureau invites the public to their Annual Meeting on October 12 at the First United Methodist Church, 18 Wesley Way (off Rt. 11A, near the Routes 3/11 bypass) in Gilford, NH. A social hour will start at 5:30 pm, followed by a traditional turkey dinner at 6:15 pm, catered by Hart’s Turkey Farm.

Following the meal, Patrick Tate, wildlife biologist from NH Fish

& Game, will speak on wild cats and hybrid coyotes, followed by an interactive discussion with the audience. This is a great chance for the public to voice their concerns about coyotes.

The cost of the meal is $18.00.

Reservations can made by contacting Cheryl Ellis, 9 Weston Road, Belmont, NH 03220, or calling 603-524-1422.

photograph the wildlife in the area at all times of the day and night. The Science Center will also provide the crew with pontoon boats to film footage on Squam Lake. The live studio and production crew will be based at Camp Deerwood in Holderness.

The live televised event will air on PBS stations Wednesday, October 17 from 8 to 9 pm, Thursday, October 18 from 8 to 9 pm, and Friday, October 19 from 8:30 to 9:30 pm. Additionally, four live shows will be broadcast throughout the United Kingdom on BBC2 at 8 pm (British time). Regular UK hosts Michaela Strachan and Gillian Burke will join Chris Packham for the BBC shows.

The mission of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is to advance understanding of ecology by exploring New Hampshire’s natural world. Through spectacular live animal exhibits, natural science education programs, an informal public garden, and lake cruises, the Science Center has educated and enlightened visitors since 1966 about the importance of our natural world.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is located on Route 113 in Holderness, an easy drive from exit 24 off I-93 and is open daily through November 1.

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Pam Weeks knows a lot about quilts.

She is not only a person who can create a quilt, but her descriptions of the time periods, the people and even the fabrics used in quilting create images of various time periods in history.

When you listen to Pam speak about inscribed quilts, wedding quilts, and presentation quilts, for example, and the years the quilts were created, you

are catapulted back in time. There you are, in your imagination, sitting beside a Civil War era wife as she stitches fabrics together by the light of a fireplace or kerosene lamp, or you might imagine yourself in the 1970s when a young person is making quilts at a time when arts and crafts saw a resurgence.

Perhaps, as Pam describes a particular quilt or time period, you imagine yourself among a group of women who

stitched a quilt together in a church hall or someone’s living room.

“I come from a long line of crafters,” Pam says. In the 1970s, Pam, who is originally from Gilford, New Hampshire, was making quilts. “I am a tenth generation NH resident and I love family stories.”

With a college background in art education, Pam also loves the outdoors and was the first director of the Nordic ski program at Gunstock in Gilford.

In the summer, she was the recreation director for Gunstock’s campground.

Leading arts and crafts classes led Pam to do a quilting class.

“I made my first quilt in about 1976 or 1977,” she remembers. Pam’s love of quilting and her interest in her family history led her on a quest to find a quilt made by her great, great, great grandmother. “I thought if I looked hard enough, I could maybe find a signature quilt made by her. Well, I got lucky and found a quilt with what I thought was her signature at an auction in Epsom, New Hampshire.”

Pam laughs as she recalls that after doing further research, she discovered the quilt was made and signed by someone with the same name as her ancestor. Although it could have been a big disappointment, it got Pam even more interested in historic quilts and eventually led to her current job as the Binney Family Curator of the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts.

As well as her job at the museum, Pam is a lecturer on the roster of speakers with NH Humanities. She travels to locations all over the state and beyond, giving talks on quilt-making and quilt

history. Pam uses quilts to tell stories of the Civil War, women’s history, and industrial history and her audiences always leave a program with a lot of knowledge and a sense of the fun Pam brings to her programs.

“Historically, lots of people made quilts,” she says. While quilting remained somewhat popular in other places, it died out in New Hampshire until the craft revival of the 1970s, the time period when Pam made her first quilt.

In her lectures, Pam invites audience questions and also encourages people to bring in a quilt they own. She can tell a lot about the time period a quilt was made (which is a question often asked by those who attend a lecture), by looking at the fabric in a quilt and the colors.

“There were color fads throughout history,” Pam explains. “In the 1840s, Prussian blue was popular; the 1850s to 1870s saw a lot of quilts with a white background and red and green applique.

The Civil War era saw many patriotic quilts and in the 1880s, charm quilts were popular, using different fabrics. In the early 1900s, quilts focused on the Colonial revival movement.”

Pam adds that the Industrial Revolution started in England in the 1790s, making fabric much more available to the general public. The Revolution swept into America, and suddenly Americans also had greater access to fabrics.

The notion that women made quilts out of whatever scraps they could find,

October 8, 2018 • Quilts Continued from page 8 such as worn-out clothing, is somewhat incorrect. Most people, according to Pam, were able to find and afford fabrics for quilting. “By the 1830s and 1840s, most people could afford fabric. Women were making quilts for everything from the utilitarian purpose of warmth to amazing, beautiful quilts kept for special occasions.”

The quilts that were kept for use on a bed when an honored guest came to stay overnight are known as a show-off or show quilt. The quilt was placed on the top of the bed, and two to three blankets were under the quilt to keep the guest warm. Such a quilt also showcased the needlework skill of the maker.

There is a picture many people have of quilting bees and sewing circles, where a group of women sat together working on a single quilt. All the women stitched the quilt pieces by hand, and the gathering was a social event as well as a practical project. While these events did take place, Pam says many women sewed quilts at home, on their own…on a sewing machine.

“By the 1850s, the sewing machine was available and many quilts were machine pieced. For example, out of a group of 20 surviving quilts made during the Civil War, 11 have machine quilting on the surface,” Pam explains.

“But women also quilted together at socials.”

This leads Pam to speak about a quilt she deems “remarkable” at the Ashland (New Hampshire) Historical Society. The quilt is on display at the Society and is called an autograph quilt

because about 406 people from the town signed the quilt. (Volunteers at the Society went through the archives and were able to identify 48 of the signers and even found on a town census map from the 1890s where the signers lived in Ashland.)

One of the types of quilts Pam has learned of are remembrance or presentation quilts, which might be made by church members and given to a pastor when he was retiring or leaving the church. “These types of quilts celebrate a person’s civic or religious work,” Pam says.

Pam has collected quilts from many areas and she has seen quilts in private collections. She says her collection is modest and she uses it specifically as examples of quilts made at various times, and in many colors and fabrics, for her lectures.

A big part of Pam’s lectures show that an initial interest in dating or finding out more about a quilt can lead to new hobbies or interests. Perhaps, for example, you own a quilt made primarily in blue colors. You are curious about that blue, and when and why it was so popular. You research it and learn about the Industrial Revolution and manufacturing history. This might lead to further interests, proving that quilts are a gateway to finding out about our past and leading us to other interests.

When Pam invites attendees to her lectures to bring in a quilt they own, she asks that they share whatever they may know about the quilt. Sometimes the owner knows very little or maybe only that it was made by an ancestor.

With years of studying quilts, Pam is

skilled at dating quilts by fabrics, colors and fads, as mentioned above. She will arrange quilts in chronological order and talk about how fabric was made and local mills that served as manufacturers of fabrics.

Certainly Pam knows a great deal about Civil War era quilts and she has even co-authored (with Don Bell) a well-respected book on the subject titled “Civil War Quilts.”

One of Pam’s lectures is called “Jane Stickle Revealed”. In the 150th anniversary year of the making of the beautiful Jane Stickle quilt, Pam was invited to examine and do further research on the iconic Civil War quilt.

Her lecture reveals the results of her research and sheds light on the life of a Vermont farm wife who made the incredible quilt. (The Stickle Quilt is made up of 169 five-in. blocks, each in different patterns, with an amazing 5,602 pieces surrounded by a unique scalloped border.)

Another lecture focuses on quilts

made for use by soldiers during the Civil War. These quilts are very rare.

Only 17 such quilts are known (so far) to exist, and Pam has studied most of them in person. In her lecture, she outlines the origins of the U.S. Sanitary Commission at the beginning of the Civil War; the roles women played on the home front, and on the battlefield and features the stories of 14 actual Civil War soldiers’ quilts.

Over the years Pam has seen thousands of quilts, and some, she says, belong in museums. If you are the lucky owner of a quilt (especially an older quilt), there are some things you should know and do to protect your prized possession.

First, inspect the quilt to see if it is structurally sound enough to be displayed. Obviously, if the quilt is coming apart or looks fragile, hanging or displaying it in any manner is not advisable. If you do hang a quilt that is

Slavery and Underground Railroad in NH Program Michelle Arnosky Sherburne will speak on “Slavery and the Underground Railroad in New Hampshire” on Thursday, October 11 at 7 pm in the Ashland Community Church sanctuary. Her illustrated talk will cover slavery, the abolition movement and the Underground Railroad in New

Hampshire before the Civil War. Sherburne, a writer and lecturer from Newbury, Vermont, is the author of the 2016 book of the same name as the talk, which was published by The History Press.

She also wrote a similar book on slavery

and the Civil War, focused in Vermont and titled, “Abolition and the Underground Railroad in Vermont”, and a book on the Confederate raid of St. Albans, Vermont.

She also co-edited a history of Peacham, Vermont during the Civil War. The free public program is sponsored

by the Ashland Historical Society; refreshments will be served during the program.

The Community Church is located at 57 Main Street (Routes 3 and 25) in downtown Ashland village.

than two or three months at a time,” Pam cautions.

Storing should be done by wrapping the quilt in a sheet and placing on a shelf vs. putting in a box. “Quilt fabric needs to breathe,” Pam adds.

For someone who loves quilts and history, having a job as curator at a special place such as the New England Quilt Museum is a dream-come-true.

As part of her job, Pam says she travels a lot and is in contact with people who have quilt exhibit ideas. “I get to see a lot of good stuff,” she says with a laugh.

Currently, the New England Quilt Museum is featuring an exhibit called “The Fabric Collage Quilts of Susan Carlson.” Pam is clearly excited about the exhibit, which is up until December 30 of this year. (Carlson is known as a quilter extraordinaire who creates scenes with vivid colors in her large quilts.)

Pam’s job is interesting, and because eight exhibits take place every year at the museum, she meets many quilting artists and continues to see collections, both private and public. “A lot of people

collect quilts because they recognize their artistic value,” she says.

Although she moves in the most respected of quilting communities, meeting all sorts of artists and experts, Pam remains down-to-earth and proud of her Lakes Region roots. Family is certainly important to her, and she speaks once more of the thing that got her interested in quilting so long ago.

With a bit of the thrill of the hunt excitement in her voice, she says, “I sure would like to find another quilt with one of my ancestor’s names on it…”

Chillin’ While Grillin’ Sauces and Soups Made From Grilled Veggies and Fruits

By Chef Kelly Ross Now that cooler nights are upon us, as well as some cool and rainy days, that means it is officially Soup Season to me. I’m a huge fan of soups, as well as sauces. Sauces accompany great grilled foods, but soups can truly warm your innards like nothing else during the fall/winter seasons. I rarely, if ever, touch soups during the hot months, except for a cold fruit soup of sorts, but when the weather is cold, I could eat a nice hot and hearty soup five days or nights a week. For me, it is truly a New England staple this time of year.

We grill for many good reasons, but for me, above all, it is for the great smoky flavor that the grill gives us, regardless of what you are grilling. The grill just makes everything taste better.

It truly does, otherwise we wouldn’t do it. Sure, 99 percent of the time we grill, we quickly inhale what we just cooked, but, sometimes you have to think outside the box. I sometimes grill to create something that may not be used for a day or two, and in some cases, not for weeks if you like to freeze your soups and sauces as I do.

When it comes to most soups,

and some sauces, my restaurant background has made me into that guy that purposely makes way more than I need just so I can freeze some for down the road in a pinch. I often make so much of certain things, then can them in quart mason jars, and give them to elderly neighbors and some good friends. Some of my friends even pay me to make soups and sauces for them that I deliver in jars.

Although I will share some actual recipes, much of the thought today is truly to educate in how to utilize some veggies on the grill and get creative for soups and sauces. If you enjoy making homemade spaghetti or marinara sauces, try grilling onions, peppers, peeled cloves of garlic and maybe some mushrooms as an alternative to sautéing them prior to making your sauce. It’s a nice option. I usually use peeled onions that I cut in half. I also cut the peppers in half and seed them.

I grill my mushrooms whole, as well as the peeled garlic cloves. Lightly brush them all with oil and once off the grill, let them cool and cut them accordingly. I love a nice, big cut on all but the garlic, and I love a good chunky

marinara sauce. Kind of goes against the norm, but especially when grilled, it’s so awesome. Once the sauce is simmering, add the grilled veggies and continue to simmer. I usually make my sauce in such bulk that I let it simmer for 24 hours but do what is best for you.

Another great option if you enjoy wine is to marinate all the vegetables in a red wine for an hour or two before grilling. This adds a nice touch.

If you are one who has a garden and a surplus of tomatoes, cut them in half and grill them until soft and toss them into your pot to start your sauce with

all of your spices, then add the other veggies once they are cooked and diced. All of these options will result in a tremendous sauce.

Another fun way to utilize your grill with one of my favorites is an alternative to an Alfredo Sauce. I’m a huge fan of red, yellow and orange bell peppers. If you grill them, even better.

For this recipe, I usually use reds.

When it comes to sauces, I am a big fan of Alfredo, but grill your red peppers, • Chillin’ Continued on Page 12

Cool them, peel off most of the char, puree in a food processor, then add to your favorite Alfredo Sauce and you will be in awe. It adds a great sweet smoky flavor, plus it is unique and most of your crowd will wonder what this special sauce recipe is.

Using that same mentality, homemade salsas can work off the grill. I like a good chunky salsa, but if you like to make a smoother salsa, grill the veggies, the tomatoes, onions, and peppers since it’s all going to get

thrown into a food processor anyway, and that will also add some nice flavor.

As for certain chunky salsas, especially a fruit salsa, grill fresh pineapple and mango until just softened, and cut and add to the uncooked veggies. The same mentality should be used for chutneys.

Grill your half or quartered apples and peaches/plums. Always lightly toss the fruits with oil to help create flame, which equates to the grill flavor.

Have you ever had a chunky guacamole? I know the traditional guac is a fairly smooth sauce, maybe with a few small tomato chunks. As a general rule, you need a nice ripe avocado to make a smooth guacamole. Not the

case when making a chunky version. I hate trying to wait for an avocado to ripen. We all know that peeling a hard avocado isn’t easy, but once grilled, it will almost fall right out of the skin.

Now granted, the avocado isn’t going to be as chunky as the veggies. If you love guacamole, this recipe is worth a try.

The List 1 medium-large red onion, cut into 1 inch slices 2 large tomatoes, cut in half 1-2 jalapeno peppers, cut in half, seeded unless you want the extra heat 3 medium-large avocados, not hard,

but not ripe either, cut in ½ and pitted, skin on 1/3 cup of fresh chopped cilantro 2 tbsp of fresh squeezed lime juice 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp chili powder ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp cayenne pepper a splash of buffalo or hot sauce olive oil tortilla chips Brush the prepped vegetables with the oil.

October 8, 2018 • Chillin’ Continued from Page 12 that down cut side down for maybe 4-5 minutes. Make sure there is good char on all. Take off the grill and cool.

Scoop the avocado out of the skin, attempting to keep fairly intact. Lightly chop the halves. Dice the onions and tomatoes, chop the jalapeno. Throw it all into a bowl and pop in the rest of the ingredients and combine gently. Serve with chips and enjoy.

Now let’s talk soups. Here’s a very fun grilled option if you want to make a great alternative to traditional Beef Stew. Like some of the earlier ideas, everyone has their own recipes for Beef Stew, so no recipe needed for this one but consider this. Marinate some beef tips in a burgundy. Cut your potatoes into one-inch thick slices. Again I cut my whole onions in half. Depending on the size of your carrots, you can grill them whole or sliced in half lengthwise. Celery stalks I do whole.

Lightly marinate the veggies in oil with salt and pepper and start grilling.

Cook the vegetables to firm but starting to soften. Obviously, the potatoes and carrots will take longer than the rest.

Cool them and cut into good sized pieces. I cook the beef tips to rare and toss them all into your gravy base and simmer for a while. It will truly give your beef stew an incredible touch.

Along the same lines as the Beef Stew, if you are accustomed to making an Italian vegetable soup, or a Minestrone, grill your veggies. As in the Marinara and others, add the grilled vegetables during the simmering process. When I mentioned you could grill your tomatoes if you have a bunch

of them, do the same to make a nice Tomato Soup or any variation thereof.

Utilize what you have and utilize your grill in the process.

This time I want to add another recipe since the upcoming soup isn’t of the norm and many haven’t made it, as opposed to the traditional soups and stews. This one fits into the season and it was one that I was originally going to write about next week, but there is no time like the present. This one is a grill roasted Pumpkin and Apple Soup. The pumpkin and apples are grilled and yes, the pumpkin takes much longer, but the flavor in this autumn soup is guaranteed to bring smiles to all. This soup is a wonderfully creamy soup made with coconut milk and great spices and the flavor combos are eclectic to the taste buds. As in any soup, it always tastes better a day or two after making it, since it allows all of the wonderful flavors do their thing once integrated together over a little time. Roasting a pumpkin works better than most of the veggies I have previously mentioned in that it takes much longer to cook, resulting in more grilled flavor. I’m going to mention that if you want to cheat, you could use canned pumpkin as well as apple sauce, but hey, this is all about grilling, right? This recipe will give you 4-6 good hearty bowls, so if you want more, you know what to do.

The List 1 four pound pumpkin, ideally a sugar pie pumpkin, but any will work 8 apples to your taste.

1 large sweet onion. If you want to grill them, cut into 1 inch slices. If

not, dice them 6 cloves of garlic Olive oil ½ tsp salt ½ tsp ground cinnamon ½ tsp nutmeg ¼ tsp ground cloves a few good shakes of cayenne pepper ¼ tsp freshly grinded black pepper 1 quart of chicken or vegetable broth or stock ½ cup of coconut milk. If needed, you can sub heavy cream, but coconut milk is better 2 tbsp of pure maple syrup, or honey if preferred Start by cutting the pumpkin in half and gut the seeds out. Although not needed for this recipe, save them if you want to roast them later. Once the seeds are out, cut each pumpkin half into halves, so you basically have a quartered pumpkin. Rub the flesh of each pumpkin quarter with olive oil and put on a preheated grill on medium high, flesh side down and close the lid of the grill. Check them periodically, but a ½ hour is a good general rule. As for the apples, cut them in half as well and get the seeds out. The onion should be peeled and also cut in half. The apples and onion should take a similar time, about 8 minutes. The onion should be turned at the halfway point. Once the pumpkin can be poked with a fork and it goes in easily, pull it. The apples/onion will be easier to tell when done. Let them cool. Peel the skin off the pumpkin once it isn’t too hot to the touch and dice it.

In a large, thick bottomed pot, pour in a few tbsp of oil and get to

a medium heat. Mince the garlic and add to the oil. Do not burn the garlic.

Chop the grilled onion and apple and add to the pot. Stir and make sure all is cooked. Add the pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and the cayenne and black pepper and the salt. Stir to the point where the pumpkin and apples begin to break down somewhat.

Pour in the broth/stock and bring to a boil, then drop the heat to a slow simmer for 15-20 minutes. Add the coconut milk and maple syrup and remove the soup from the heat. If you own an emulsifier, which I strongly recommend, puree it until thick and creamy. You can also do this in a blender in batches if you need to, but this will take longer and will be messier. Pour into bowls and sprinkle each with a little more cinnamon.

Refrigerate/cover leftovers once cooled; it also freezes very well for months.

I know this article isn’t as traditional as some I write, but this one was more of an education as opposed to a bunch of recipes. As I often say, be creative and think outside the box. As it is in much of life, it’s the little things that can make the biggest differences, so just do it, and I think you will feel good about it. Much of this may be more time consuming but give it your best shot. Until next week where I will go off the grid and talk about some fun pumpkin recipes, please continue to Get Your Grill On, regardless of the season.

Great Hurricane of ’38 Gives a Coat of Many Colors

By Barbara Neville Wilson On September 21, 1938, when Jane McLaughlin Walsh was 16 years old, she stood with her brothers and sisters in their backyard and watched, unbelieving, as the strongest wind she had ever felt tumbled full-grown trees to the ground.

She didn’t know what she was watching that afternoon—no one did.

After days of rain, the morning had dawned clear and breezy, yet suddenly there they were, unsheltered, in the midst of what has come to be known as the Great Hurricane of 1938.

Two days after the storm, Wolfeboro’s Granite State News reported, “A hurricane, which for duration of intensity, with the amount of damage done, has hit New England and New Hampshire, that exceeds anything known during more than four hundred years of history of the sections since the Colonists first landed.”

Though the reporters’ words seem breathless and tangled to our modern ears, there is no doubt that this hurricane was the strongest anyone alive had ever experienced in the Lakes Region,

Consignor’s Avenue

Damage in the Lakes Region was limited to property and utilities. This electric pole across from what is now Kingswood Regional High School in Wolfeboro was damaged when a large maple tree fell. Courtesy Wolfeboro Historical Society and its ramifications would be felt for years…even now, 80 years later.

Hurricanes are rare. In fact, this storm was the first to reach New England in at least a generation, and the very first Category 2 to ever make land.

With a gust that measured a monstrous 186 mph, its sustained winds took full advantage of 400 years of Colonial economic activity.

In decades since, much has been made of the fact that the storm came upon the New Hampshire region with no warning, and, in fact, some foreknowledge may have avoided the injury and death of humans and animals, and perhaps some property damage could have been avoided. However, the bulk of the horrific damage was caused by trees broken and uprooted which downed powerlines, and crashed through buildings, vehicles and public

works.

Ninety-year-old Charles Hatch, now living in California, reports he felt glee as he watched the wind work in Wolfeboro. Nine years old at the time, he was fascinated to see the carnage from the window of his family’s house on the corner of School Street. “I watched three trees being blown down on Union Street outside our house. It was a little boy’s dream.”

Nearly 2.7 billion board feet of lumber, the equivalent of 1,000 square miles of forest were downed throughout New England by the gales of the hurricane. Fearful that drying in place would cause rot of a valuable resource and unquenchable forest fires, the federal government called in members of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Civilian Conservation Corps to help local workers process downed trees.

The Granite State News reported, “The federal government will buy all of this timber to place in lakes and ponds, where not used generally, and gradually work this timber into the market in the next few years without disarranging the market.”

In his History of Wolfeboro, NH, 1770 - 1994, Q. David Bowers reports, “The WPA set up log-buying depots, first filling Back Bay, then Johnson Cove (then called Wolfeboro Cove) in Winter Harbor, and finally, much • Hurricane Continued on page 15

October 8, 2018 • Hurricane Continued from page 14 of Crescent Lake. It was found that by immersing logs in water they could be preserved to await later sawing into lumber…”

Charles Hatch says, “The hurricane aftermath was as interesting as the storm. For years after…the Wolfeboro Back Bay was completely filled with logs…you could walk from one side of the Bay to the other on these logs.”

At the time, Wolfeboro had its own power plant, and since everything was tied together, “When these logs were milled and when the blade hit a tough knot, the town electricity would dip.” He laughs across the years, “You would be watching a musical in the movie theater and when the blade hit a knot, it would slow the movie projector down and the music would change key, or the actor’s voice would suddenly become a bass.”

Bowers reports, “In April 1941 all of the ‘hurricane timber’ stored in Wolfeboro waters was purchased by the New England Box Company, and operators of two portable sawmills were hired to process the logs. The last log went through the mill at 2:15 p.m. on October 24,” more than three years after the Hurricane of 1938 had struck.

Interestingly, so much timber falling during the Hurricane of 1938 is said to have been a direct effect of the early industrial age and the westward migration of the mid-19th century 80 years earlier. Farmland cleared meticulously by first European settlers was often left to seed when its owners left the farm

for the factory and the gold field, and what is a first species to grow? The quick-growing, shallow-rooted white pine—easy fodder for hungry hurricane force winds.

Perhaps more interesting still? You are reading this as we come upon nearpeak foliage in the Lakes Region, a time of high economic activity when tourists flock to glimpse our jewel-tone leaves. Stephen Long tells us we can thank the Hurricane of 1938 for that: “New England’s largest hurricane was followed by its largest logging job, and this one-two punch brought about the forest that we see today. When the towering canopy of white pine blew down, what was left were the seedlings and saplings of deciduous hardwood trees. If they hadn’t been blown down in 1938, those pines might still be there, holding the ground until they died from wind, disease, or logging. Instead, the mix of maple, birch, and oak that relished the new sunlight (having been released from the shade of the pines) grew vigorously. This new forest closely approximates the species mix of the original forest that had greeted the settlers, and its vibrant display of turning leaves attracts leaf peepers from around the globe.”

(Smithsonian Magazine published Steven Long’s “The 1938 Hurricane That Revived New England’s Fall Colors” in its October 2017 issue.

Additional information for this story was gleaned from the archives of the Wolfeboro Historical Society with special assistance from Gene Denu and Mark Lush.)

light refreshments including sweet treats! “This is the first time we have done a Halloween themed walk,” explains Castle in the Clouds Program and Volunteer Coordinator, Stephanie Poole. “We are very excited and we expect this to be a popular event. The old adage, ‘two heads are better than one’ (or in this case, three heads) really plays out accurately when referring to our partnerships with Moultonborough Rec and the LRCT. We have great success when we work together; it has been a wonderful relationship and we are excited to continue to offer free family events such as this one to the public.”

This walk is appropriate for all ages.

It is self-guided, so you can walk at your leisure and even enjoy the trail more than once if desired. Weatherappropriate clothing and footwear are recommended, along with flashlights or headlamps for extra light to find your way. And of course, costumes are encouraged! In the event of inclement weather, the rain date is October 13.

To access the event, use the 586 Ossipee Park Road entrance and park in either the hiker parking lot across from the bottling plant or in the main parking lot. This event is generously sponsored by Mill River Wealth Management, Pickering House Inn, and TMS Architects, with pumpkins kindly donated by Moulton Farm of Meredith, NH. Castle in the Clouds is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, whose mission is to preserve, interpret, and share the historic Lucknow Estate.

tunity to explore the Castle while enjoying twilight and nighttime views of Lake Winnipesaukee.

“The Lucknow mansion is surprisingly homey for its size, especially in the evening, which unfortunately very few people ever get to experience,” explains Museum Curator, Robin Sherman. “We want this to be an opportunity for visitors to feel the grandeur of what it was like to live in such a thoughtfully designed home, in this breathtaking natural setting. We hope our guests will come away with a new understanding of how the original owners, Tom and Olive Plant, experienced the home, and be inspired by the history and craftsmanship of this estate, built over 100 years ago.”

Tickets to Castle After Hours can be purchased both online at www.castleintheclouds.org and at the door. Admission includes one complimentary drink from the full bar offering beer, wine, mixed drinks, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. Guests will also be treated to a complimentary cheese platter and crudités.

Free Jack-O-Lantern Lane at Castle in the Clouds on October 12 The Moultonborough Recreation Department, Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT), and Castle in the Clouds have partnered together to host a Jack-O-Lantern Lane Pumpkin Walk on October 12 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. The event is free to the public.

Families and friends of all ages may dawn their Halloween costumes and come to trick-or-treat down a jack-olantern-lit trail at Castle in the Clouds, with some family-friendly, not-sospooky surprises along the way.

Following the walk, guests can stay by the fire pit to enjoy complimentary

Jason Karakehian will lead a mushroom event on Oct. 13.

Community Forest includes Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG), Southeast Land Trust (SELT) and Merrymeeting Lake Association (MMLA). More information about Birch Ridge Community Forest and Partnership is available at www.seltnh. org/birchridge.

The mushroom foray will take place on 80-plus wooded acres on the southern slopes of Mount Caverly.

The property has lakeshore frontage

on Merrymeeting Lake with views of Birch Ridge and the surrounding hills that are part of the proposed Community Forest. Away from the lake, there is good fungal habitat and several trails through the woods, although the footing can be rockstrewn and uneven in places.

Mushroom expert Jason Karakehian will lead the event. An amateur mycologist for nearly a decade, Karakehian is currently a Master’s

Here We

Wanted: Super Sales Person

Due to our unprecedented growth in New Hampshire and Southern Maine, we are actively seeking a self-motivated individual who can work independently without extensive direction. Our team works hard to promote locally owned, family run businesses throughout the area and the ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of the many challenges that face today’s small business people.

Interested candidates should call 520-1002 on Tuesdays or Thursdays between 11am and 1pm.

October 8, 2018 degree candidate in biology at Harvard Extension School, and plans to earn a PhD in mycology, the scientific study of fungi. He has traveled to Canada and as far as Mozambique to collect fungi samples. Karakehian’s interests are also wide ranging, including the fungi related to the tar leaf spot disease of Norway maple trees and in the history of mycology in America.

After an introduction to the Birch Ridge Community Forest project by Partnership representatives, Karakehian will provide suggestions on what to look for and give instructions on proper fungi collection techniques.

Participants will then scatter and gather their own fungi, then reconvene for show-and-tell and an impromptu lecture on what they have found.

Beginners may follow Karakehian to ask questions and get help. This foray will focus on identifying fungi, their seasonality, their various roles in the ecosystem, and how clear cuts, such as on portions of Birch Ridge, affect forest mushrooms and fungi.

Fungi that are poisonous and those of culinary value will also be discussed, as well as general guidelines for safe and dirt-free collecting for the table.

The Fungi Foray will take place from 11 am to 2 pm. Participants are requested to bring a sharp knife for collecting and a butter knife or spoon for digging, a hand-lens or magnifying glass, paper bags, a marker, and a basket, box-lid or paper bag for carrying collections, and a snack or picnic lunch. Long pants and sturdy shoes are mandatory. The event will take place rain or shine, unless a severe storm is expected, in which case it will be held from 1 to 4 pm on

Sunday, October 14. All are welcome but pre-registration is required by 6 pm on Thursday, October 10. For directions and to register, call MMRG Education Coordinator Kari Lygren at 603-978-7125 or email info@mmrg. info. Pets are not allowed. There is no charge, but families are encouraged to make a $5.00 donation that will go towards MMRG’s educational outreach program.

The Partnership for Birch Ridge Community Forest envisions Birch Ridge as a community forest, managed to promote conservation, community, and economic development through community participation in the management of the land. A foliage hike will be held later this fall as well as other outings this coming winter to give the public further opportunities to see the property. To solicit public input on best uses of the land, there will be a Community Visioning Session and Concurrent Children’s Program at 6 pm on Thursday, November 1 in New Durham.

The Partnership is currently raising funds to complete the purchase of the property and steward it forever.

Donations to save and steward Birch Ridge Community Forest may be made to any of the three partner organizations: Moose Mountains Regional Greenways online at www.mmrg.info/ donate/ or by mail to MMRG, PO Box 191, Union, NH 03887; Southeast Land Trust online at www.seltnh.org/ birchridge or by mail to SELT, PO Box 675, Exeter, NH 03833; Merrymeeting Lake Association online at http:// mmlake.org/ or by mail to MMLA, PO Box 468, New Durham, NH 03855.
