Local Veterans Remember World War II

By Sarah Wright Every veteran has a story. Together, these stories make up the fabric of our nation’s history. Throughout time, stories like these have been passed down from generation to generation.

We can learn a lot from someone else’s experiences, especially those of our veterans. Most inspirational is how these individuals joined the fight for our freedoms, and helped our country persevere through a time of war. On Memorial Day, and every day, we should be thankful for the sacrifices countless men and women made for the United States of America. I was lucky enough to talk with two World War II veterans, and here are their stories.

Warren Pond enlisted in the Merchant Marine when he was 19 years old.

He received his basic training in Mississippi before spending the next couple of years as an engineer on ships stationed primarily in the North Atlantic. The Merchant Marine is the fleet of ships, which carries imports and exports during peacetime and becomes a naval auxiliary during wartime to deliver troops and war material.

“In 1939 and 1940, the German subs were really beating us up all along the east coast,” says Warren, “We lost a lot of boys and ships. It wasn’t until we officially entered the war (WWII) in 1941 that we finally got some protection and traveled in escorted convoys.” Warships from different ports would meet up to form fleets of 40 or more ships to cross the Atlantic Ocean together. Even so, the American, Canadian, and English escort warships had their hands full fighting off the German “wolf pack” submarines. Convoy destinations were secret, cameras were not allowed on board, and mail was censored, all in an effort to prevent such intelligence from getting into German hands. An old saying from the time was, “Loose

Luther “Smitty” Smith fought bravely in World War II. He is pictured here at the Wright Museum of World War II in Wolfeboro. lips sink ships.”

Casualties were very high. In fact, most people are unaware that the Merchant Marines suffered the highest percentage of losses of those who served. Warren served on freighters that carried supplies to England and on a troop ship that transported troops from England to France, and returned with those who were injured but still mobile. (Serious injuries were handled by hospital ships.) German prisoners were also transported. His ship, the Marine Wolf, made 105 trips between Le Havre in France, and South Hampton, England. Missions were hazardous. “The Germans owned most of Europe, so we were directly under fire,” says Warren, “There were constant aerial attacks.”

Warren also made one trip through the Mediterranean destined for Iraq on the Persian Gulf. However, it was terminated by a German aerial torpedo just east of Algiers, on Hitler’s birthday in 1944. “We abandoned ship, and got in the lifeboats,” recalls Warren.

“When we saw the ship wasn’t sinking, we went back aboard and limped into Algiers. Eventually, we got patched up in Gibraltar and sent back to the

Warren Pond working in the Wright Museum’s Victory Garden States.”

Warren was in South Hampton, England in May of 1945 when the Germans surrendered (“The Brits went wild”) and when Japan surrendered a few months later. There was much to celebrate. Warren went on one last trip carrying cargo to Shanghai before returning home to the United States in 1946. He had gotten married in 1943 while he was serving, and when he was finally home, he and his wife started a family.

Warren still loves being on the water and spent many years sailing on the ocean to places like Bermuda and the Virgin Islands. He and his wife lived in the Virgin Islands for over 20 years before moving to Wolfeboro. We thank him for his service.

Luther “Smitty” Smith always wanted to fly, so when he enlisted on October 13th, 1942 he chose to enlist

in the Air Force. The United States military needed bombing crews and Smitty volunteered to be a gunner, because he knew that was the quickest way to get in the air. He trained in opencockpit aircraft, and practiced firing on enemy planes by aiming at a target on a cable attached to the plane. During the war, his squadron was based in the East Anglia region of England, and he flew missions from there in a B-17.

Missions averaged about eight hours, and the military targets included places that were involved in the manufacture of aircraft or petroleum products.

The British Air Force bombed targets during the night, and the Americans bombed targets during daylight hours.

“There was always anti-aircraft fire,” says Smitty, “On our tenth mission, in July of 1943, we were shot up and lost two engines.” He continues, “We started throwing everything overboard to lighten the plane, and disconnected the turret and ammo boxes. We finally brought the plane down in a field in Patcham, England and had to abandon it.” The men spent the night at a hotel, before being picked up by another plane the next day that took them back to the base.

Smitty completed 13 missions before his plane was shot down and he lost his right hand. The men parachuted out, and because Smitty couldn’t pull the rip cord on his right side, the tail gunner pulled a static line to open • Veterans Continued on page 4

• Veterans Continued from page 3 his parachute. When the three men landed, they were captured and taken to a German hospital where they were operated on. The next day, they were transferred to a German military hospital, and then a month later to an interrogation center for questioning.

After that, they were sent to a hospital for wounded POWs, staffed

by English doctors, and finally to the Luft 4 Camp for Air Force prisoners in Poland. After having been a POW for over eight months, Smitty left the camp with five other men in an exchange of disabled prisoners. The disabled

American prisoners were traded for disabled German prisoners.

He received an Honorable Discharge, and returned home to Fryeburg, Maine.

With the loss of his right hand, finding work was difficult, but he found seasonal work to keep busy. Smitty kept in touch with his friends from the Air Force, visiting with them through the years. We thank him for his service.

For all those members of the military who died while serving our country, and to those veterans who lived to tell their stories, we honor them for their bravery.

Castle in the Clouds Summer of Events Begins Memorial Day weekend and beyond is the perfect time to visit Castle in the Clouds in Moultonboro and enjoy the mountaintop views, the stunning Arts & Crafts mansion, horseback rides, waterfalls, nature walks, and outdoor dining.

In the Carriage House Gallery, the exhibit “Finding Place on Paper” showcases the works of contemporary printmakers and poets in the Lakes Region and White Mountains. All the prints are for sale with proceeds to benefit Castle in the Clouds. The juxtaposition of image and word provides a fascinating perspective on the creative process and is designed to deepen our appreciation for these special landscapes. Listen to recorded loon calls, try your hand at building a cairn, or compose an original verse with magnetic poetry. Printmakers include Matt Brown, Mary DiBurro, Terry Downs, Marian Federspiel, Peter Ferber, Roger Goldenburg, Margaret Merritt, Christopher Morse, Maryellen Sakura, Jane Grant Tentas, and Jude Valentine. The exhibit is sponsored by White Mountain Subway, and Leone, McDonnell & Roberts.

The centerpiece of the renowned

mountaintop estate is the Lucknow mansion, built in 1914 on an outcrop overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee and the Belknap and Ossipee Mountains.

From every room, visitors can see spectacular scenery and views, making any visit a rewarding and inspiring experience. Open from 10 am to 5:30 pm, seven days a week through October 22, the Castle in the Clouds also offers dozens of additional programs. Noted ornithologist Bob Ridgely leads a bird walk on June 19, various performers provide music at the Carriage House on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays starting June 26, and outdoor yoga classes are offered on Wednesdays in July and August at 6 pm.

Long-time favorites include the Antique and Classic Automobile Event on Saturday, July 8, and the Lucknow Summer Gala and Auction on July 14.

For more and all program details, go to www.castleintheclouds.org.

Castle in the Clouds is owned and operated by the not-for-profit Castle Preservation Society whose mission is to preserve, interpret and share the buildings and landscape of the Castle in the Clouds as an educational and cultural resource for the Lakes Region.

history, women have participated in war efforts not only at home but also on the battlefield. Women have always played important roles in army camps – from nursing, to laundry, food service, and, prostitution. For a small but significant number of women, war not only brought them into battle, it motivated them to disguise themselves as men and take up the musket and sword. This lecture will focus on the adventures of some of the known women who risked their lives, asking what motivated these women and if they truly were ahead of their time. Professor Sarah Batterson holds a Ph.D. in History from the University of New Hampshire and a joint-M.A. in Anthropology and Women’s Studies. She currently teaches courses in African-American history and Gender History at UNH.

On Tuesday, June 27, the program will be Veteran’s Reflections, History Preserved. William R. Graser will be the guest author/lecturer. (A book signing will follow the program.)

Graser’s Veterans’ Reflections contains personal experiences of 60 veterans who served in America’s wars, from World War II to Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan). Graser spent almost eight years interviewing the veterans for this book. He seamlessly weaves their first-hand experiences

into the history of the wars in which they served, putting their stories into historical context. Their stories span the range of emotions – from funny to heart wrenching to fearful. The veterans’ stories also allow readers to understand and appreciate what it means to be a veteran who is devoted to freedom. Sergeant First Class William R. Graser, USA (Ret.) served in the US Army Security Agency. Among his assignments were Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and Germany, including West Berlin.

Outstanding NH Women The Queen of the Lake

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper (Photo courtesy M/S Mount Washington) If there was a job description for Polly May’s position at the M/S Mount Washington, it might read something like this: Must be willing to multi-task; must love talking with people from a variety of countries; must have a willingness to learn new things; must be cool and courageous under pressure; must show compassion; must be able to serve as unofficial tourism expert/ ambassador; must be curious and love a challenge and like to be busy; must have a great sense of humor and a good memory.

That is quite a list, and most people would shy away from applying for such a job. But not Polly, who has been working at the M/S Mount Washington’s office since 1980. On any given spring, summer or fall day, she is asked to do many tasks and she embraces being busy. You will find her at the ticket window of the Mount’s Weirs Beach office, ready to greet, to answer questions…and of course, to sell tickets for a memorable ride on the Mount, or its smaller sister vessels, the Sophie C (mailboat) and/or the Doris E. “I’m not someone who likes to sit and do nothing!” Polly explains with a laugh. “When I’m at home, for example, I love to work in my flower garden. And I love my job because it keeps me busy. No two days are ever the same.”

Many, many return customers, who saunter up to the Weirs Beach ticket window to inquire about the Mount Washington, find a laughing, happy Polly there to greet them. Or she might be training new seasonal help; those

many teens and college students might be shy and nervous the first day on the job, but they soon blossom under Polly’s guidance and care.

Indeed, if you stop to chat with Polly outside the ticket window on the boardwalk area, it is difficult to complete a sentence. Polly is constantly interrupted by returning customers and old friends, who are eager to catch up after the winter.

How did Polly land such an unusual job that requires her to be part Lakes Region ambassador, part Lakes Region historian, salesperson, cheerleader and all-around good sport? Her eyes twinkle as she recalls, “I am originally from Vermont. My husband, Donald, and I spent many weekends boating on Lake Winnipesaukee and when he sold his business in Vermont, he said he wanted to ‘go to the lake and get a job.’ ” And that is what he did, bringing Polly to New Hampshire with him.

“It was 1980 and I remember walking around the Weirs area and thinking I wanted a job that would be fun. I decided to stop by the Mount Washington’s office. I told them I was looking for a job and they said they had been thinking of hiring someone.

Russell Brown hired me to be a ticket agent and office manager.”

These days, Polly’s title is director of sales (she has been with the company for 37 years). Ask anyone who works with Polly and they will tell you she is less about titles and more about getting the job done. Few people know as much as tourism in the area, and can answer the many questions of those who are purchasing tickets for a cruise on the Mount. Polly says she loves talking with British and German and Spanish customers, among others, who

bring a taste of the international world to the Weirs Beach area.

What sorts of questions do customers ask? Polly laughs again as she says, “The question we get the biggest kick out of is when someone calls and asks how long it will take for the boat to get to the top of Mount Washington! I answer questions about the ship, how long and what time cruises depart, where the ship goes, prices, where to eat and shop for example.”

When Polly started at the M/S Mount Washington all those years ago, the ticket office was in a small red shed (an old railroad station). At that time, she worked year round, spending the winter season doing a number of office tasks and sales and sending out mailings, etc. “In the winter the bathrooms at the Weirs were closed, so the owner at that time would pile the staff into his car and drive us to the Gandy Dancer (restaurant) down the road to use their bathrooms!”

Polly paints a picture with words of those days and all the fun she had at the job. Scott Brackett, she says, was the owner (from 1971-1985), and she recalls with fondness the “mystery trip” he treated the staff to at the end of each summer season. “And back in the early days, we worked at the Center Harbor dock office in the shipyard and then we moved to the Weirs for the summer months.

“When I first worked here, we took orders for tickets over the phone,” she recalls. “We used to have stacks of checks and we used typewriters. We also had to hand-write every order. This was before computers! I remember the advent of computers and telling everyone I was going to quit (because it looked so complicated to learn).”

But Polly learned the new system and today she uses the computer every • NH Women Continued on page 20

day and is quite proficient. While computers have made her work easier and faster, she says she always stays as long as it takes to get the job done, although she technically works a 9 am to 5 pm day in the office. In between selling tickets, doing all sorts of office tasks and sales, there are the inevitable questions from those visiting the area.

“They want to know about the parking meters at the Weirs and where to eat and find lodgings and how long it takes to get to the White Mountains. We really are unofficial Chamber of Commerce experts!”

One of the most popular rides is on the Sophie C (mail boat), according to Polly. “It is beloved with tourists, and they love to watch the mail being delivered from the boat to all the islands. It is really unique. The Doris E is a great shorter ride and good for families with young children, because it is only one-hour long.”

Because it will soon be time for the annual Race & Rally in midJune, known as Bike Week, of course Polly gets asked a lot of questions about the event that brings thousands of motorcycles to the area. (Many make Weirs Beach their must-see place to visit.)

“Bike Week is always different!”

Polly says. “In the 1980s, it was more boisterous and there was a lot more traffic. Now I think it is quieter and many people who attend are older. I am in the office all week, answering the phone…and of course, answering lots

of questions!”

Fall is also a busy season for the M/S Mount Washington. Polly loves the autumn season and says it has become quite popular with visitors who count their vacation incomplete until they take a trip on the Mount to see the foliage and the area from the water.

Among the changes Polly has seen is watching some staff members come and go, and some stay on and grow up in the business. She speaks fondly of co-owner Jim Morash. “Jim is originally from Vermont and so am I, so there is that connection. He started out here as a deck hand! Eventually he became a captain and now he is a co-owner (with Ed Gardner and Chris Secord).” (According to information about Jim Morash at www.cruisenh. com, “As a young boy growing up and spending his summers on Bear Island, he watched his brother and sister enjoy their summers working on the “MOUNT”, thus giving him the idea to follow them some day. Jim started with the Flagship Company in 1979 working as a deckhand during his college years. He joined on full time in 1982 and has risen through the ranks serving as a Deck Officer, Purser, Small Boat Skipper, Pilot, and Marketing Director. He was promoted to Captain and General Manager in 2000 and in 2006 he became part of the ownership and Chief of Operations.”)

Polly speaks well of all three owners and adds that the entire staff work well together. “It’s a team effort.”

• NH Women Continued from page 20 To reinforce the fact that titles aren’t very important to her, Polly says no one on the staff works under her, but rather she works with the entire staff. “This is a great place to work, and I never know what each new day will bring.”

It means the world to Polly to keep in touch with and receive letters from young people she trained. One young woman wrote and told Polly, “You were the best boss I ever had.” Polly goes on to stress, “We have a lot of smart, young people working here each year and they are fun to work with.”

These days, Polly and Donald spend winters in Florida. They travel to and from Florida by train (she says riding trains across the country is her all-time favorite thing to do).

In the summer, when Polly and Donald have houseguests, they love to take them for Sunday Brunch on the Mount Washington. No one would serve as a better tour guide to the Lakes Region than Polly, who knows the area so very well.

Sitting at an outside table overlooking the Weirs dock area and the Mount taking on passengers on a Saturday morning, Polly reflects for a moment on the 37 years of fun and activity she has seen at her job.

“You know, it has been great – I’ve made a lot of friends. Great people like

Millie Beach (the former director of the Lakes Region Association), among others. My husband was a bartender on the Mount and he retired a few years ago. Every year I say I am going to retire, but here I am again for another season!”

It could be because Polly likes to keep busy. It could be because she loves to see the customers who are genuinely happy to greet her each season.

But as much as anything, it is because of the iconic symbol of the Lakes Region: the M/S Mount Washington.

“The Mount has a mystique,” Polly reflects as she gazes at the ship not far from her outdoor table. “It is special and you can never get away from that fact.”

Certainly Polly was lured by that mystique when, in 1980, she walked up to the little office and asked if they were hiring.

Luckily for all those who know and adore Polly, the M/S Mount Washington was in need of someone just like her that day. Someone who could do it all; a person not afraid to jump in where and when it was needed. She may not have been handed a set-in-stone title or job description when she was hired, but it turns out that is just the way Polly likes it.

Little Church Theater Announces 15th Summer Season Titled the “little theater that can,” the Little Church Theater on Rt. 113 in Holderness opens for its 15th summer season with an ambitious mix of fresh and inventive shows, annual favorites, laugh-out loud comedy and rowdy nights of music. The awardwinning theater is open from late June through August, so don’t miss out on a chance to see an entertaining show this summer. (For seat selection and tickets, visit littlechurchtheater.com.)

The Dixie Swim Club will take place June 29, 30 and July 1, offering a Jones Hope Wooten comedy focused on five former members of a college swim team who gather on North Carolina’s Outer Banks every August to laugh, cut loose and catch up on their crazy lives.

The Dixie Swim Club is a hilarious and touching comedy by Jones, Hope and Wooten, about friendships that last forever. The play drops in at the same cottage in five-year intervals to see how things are going as the women not only relive their glory days with toasts to the team mantra, “the faster we swim, the sooner we win”, but also work through life’s issues with heavy doses of sass and zingers, such as “Until I got married I did not know what happiness was. By then it was too late.” Best friends to the end, they still don’t cut each other any slack as they reminisce, gossip about or support each other. Characters include self-absorbed Lexie, overachieving lawyer Dinah, former team captain and bubbly organizer Sheree, one-time nun

A conscientious objector unable to leave his native Iran, Soleimanpour has written this “wild and utterly original” play in English that draws attention to his status as a censored writer. Each night will be different. Each actor only performs once. Anything can happen.

“Wildly unpredictable and completely unforgettable, White Rabbit Red Rabbit is a punch in the air for self-expression; a testament to the power of words to transcend cultures and borders. You have to be there,” claims the New Zealand Herald.

Live fiddle music lovers will want to be there on August 2 at 7 pm for NH Fiddle Ensemble. Acoustic musicians on guitars, mandolins, banjos, and basses will be playing lively fiddle music in a variety of traditions - folk, country, pop, swing, melodious Irish, classical, Cajun and bluegrass. The ensemble is as diverse as a group can be, ages 6 to 85, from all walks of life, but its members have one thing in common - they love to play together!

Sylvia is scheduled for August 1719 with a Sunday matinee on August 20. A.R. Gurney wrote “Sylvia” and it will strike at the heart of every pet owner. It is a funny and heart-warming comedy (PG-rated) about a romantic triangle of Greg, Kate and a streetsmart dog named Sylvia. When Greg brings Sylvia home, he sets off a string

of hilarious complications that put his marriage with Kate in serious jeopardy.

The more Gregg’s wife Kate insists that there’s no room for Sylvia in their lifestyle, the more the dog becomes the center of the household and of Greg’s world. Sylvia (played by an actor) is eager to please, doting on Greg with unconditional love. Sylvia also tries to talk her way into being allowed to sit on the furniture and is amusingly foul-mouthed, especially when she’s in heat or cussing out a cat. Greg and Kate eventually compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives. A fundraiser for the NH Humane Society will be part of the show.

The Winnipesaukee Sailboat Share

of friends can enjoy the beauty of Winnipesaukee. In their registration materials, Parks and Recreation candidly encourages, “Meant to satisfy any curiosity about what is involved in managing a keelboat, this may be of special interest to anyone considering the Sailboat Share program or adult sailing classes…This is also just a really good deal for anyone who wants to spend a couple of hours on our beautiful lake on a really nice boat.”

Like so many traditions in the Lakes Region, the Sailboat Share was started by one man’s donation, another man’s brainstorm, and a slew of volunteers giving their hours and talents. On the Wolfeboro town website, Parks and Recreation describes the program’s

chance to get out on the lake.”

Of course, before taking the boat out, members of the Sailboat Share are required to meet safety criteria.

They must pass swim and sailing tests administered by the Parks and Rec sailing staff. If they have not already taken a sailing course, they are advised to take the “Adults Learn to Sail: Keelboat” course for those age 16 and offered during six sessions this summer. Over 10 days, the courses meet four times in three-hour sessions.

Courses start June 6, July 11 and August 1, with afternoon and evening sessions available. Reasonably priced at $85 for residents and $128 for nonresidents, the course teaches boat handling and knots, in addition to the basics of sailing. Like the Sailboat Share, the course is made possible by the collaboration of Wolfeboro Parks and Recreation with long-time Lakes Region businesses and non-profits: Wolfeboro Corinthian Yacht Club, Irwin Marine and the New Hampshire Boat Museum.

Interested in sailing but not sure you can commit to a Sailboat Share?

You are invited to enjoy a 2 ½ hour introductory cruise with the program’s U.S. Sail-certified instructors on May 30, June 1, 20, 22, 29, or July 6. For just $20 each, you and a handful

birth this way, “The innovative program was started in 2012 when a boat was donated to the New Hampshire Boat Museum by Tuftonboro resident Bill Stockman. While the staff and volunteers of the Museum were considering the best use of the boat, Wolfeboro resident Bob Lemaire came forward with the idea of a sailboatsharing program, which he pitched to the Wolfeboro Parks and Recreation Department and the New Hampshire Boat Museum.

The basic concept of the program is that community members and visitors can buy a ‘membership’ or ‘share’ of the boat for a season (which was set at a low flat fee of $400), and then use the boat throughout the season without the hassle of ownership, registration, maintenance and repairs, moorings, trailering, insurance, etc.…The program effectively lowered the cost of boating so that a diverse array of community members can get out and enjoy sailing on Lake Winnipesaukee without having to cover the full expense of ownership on their own.

“Both the Wolfeboro Parks and Recreation Department and the

Story by Barbara Neville Wilson Photo by Joshua Spaulding Many people come to the Lakes Region looking for a retreat from civilization.

There’s something soothing when you let your hair dry naturally after a swim, when you are involuntarily unplugged from the Internet, or when supper is an indulgent double-scooped, twice-churned ice cream in a cone. Also, there is something quaint in the enjoyment of community band concerts in town parks, holidays celebrated with homegrown parades, and the family boat built under a tent.

It’s always fun, too, to see the Lakes Region’s twist on urban trends, like the sharing economy.

You’ve heard of Air BnB and Lyft, maybe even Outdoorsy, where ordinary folks rent out underused RVs. But have you heard about the Wolfeboro Sailboat Share?

The Wolfeboro Sailboat Share is a collaboration between the New Hampshire Boat Museum, Brewster Academy and Wolfeboro Parks and Recreation. Through it, sailors own a time-share in a 24-foot keelboat for the sailing season. This year, the season runs June 10 to September 24.

For $400 (or $600 for non-residents of Wolfeboro), plus a refundable security deposit of $100, sailors have access to a boat with paid-for mooring, maintenance and insurance. They are guaranteed four reserved weekend and six weekday four-hour time slots, and an unlimited number of spontaneous slots in the morning, afternoon, or evening. The program avoids the disappointment of double booking by always requiring advance reservations.

The program is the obvious extension of the successful adult Learn-to-Sail courses offered through Wolfeboro Parks & Recreation. Says director Christine Collins, “The Share program gives people who can’t afford a boat, a

Sketching the Lakes Region Story and artwork

by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper “I don’t believe in making pencil sketches and then painting your landscape in your studio.

You must be right under the sky.”

—William Merritt Chase I like to draw and I love the scenic beauty of the Lakes Region. I find the ever-changing landscape and light to be a continual fascination. More than once I have made myself late for a meeting or appointment because I got carried away by a scenic spot; I just had to pull over to the side of the road and grab my sketchpad for a few minutes while I attempted to capture even a bit of Mother Nature’s landscape.

Certainly, I do not claim to be a skilled artist, but I have always found great joy and relaxation in drawing and painting. However, with two active children and many commitments, I had little time to drive to a scenic spot and drag a sketchpad, pencils and other paraphernalia along with me.

Over the last few years, my children finished college and started careers.

Now that my kids are independent, I find myself, now and then, drawing again.

Stonewall ink and pencil sketch.

Boat Rentals

Tentatively, I set out one spring day to one of my favorite places – Wellington State Park in the Newfound Lake area. It was a Saturday, and sunny and warm. I packed a lunch, a bottle of water, brought along a jacket and my sketchpads and pencils. I found the parking lot populated with just a smattering of cars, because it was early in the season.

“Phew!” I said to myself with relief.

I hadn’t spent a day sketching outdoors in ages and I was initially shy. What if someone stopped to watch over my shoulder? What if they offered an opinion? I shuddered to think of it, because I was not sure if I was up to instant critiques from strangers!

Wellington offers a nice beach, but it has many little areas sheltered by trees, with picnic tables, lake views and privacy. This was just the thing for me – a table to spread out my sketch pad and lunch and a place where I could take advantage of wonderful views of the lake in privacy.

I had, unfortunately, not taken into account the fact that no matter how sunny and warm it is away from the open water, near any lake/open water, the breeze can become a strong wind • Day Tripping Continued on page 27

• Day Tripping Continued from page 26 in late spring/early summer and fall.

I shivered my way through a few sketches, but things got considerably better when I switched to a more sheltered area a bit further away from the open water.

I began to make mental notes about how to prepare for a day of outdoor sketching. Bring a heavier jacket or dress in layers; make use of cloth rags and towels vs. paper towels for cleaning brushes and wiping up spills; bring a small trash bag; always pack durable Scotch tape to ensure that sketch paper would stay on the drawing board and not blow around in the wind; whittle down my supplies to just what was necessary (I soon learned that dragging around heavy art supplies defeated the joy of drawing outdoors).

My cell phone was also a necessity, so I could keep someone apprised of my whereabouts. Also, the camera in a cell phone is a great way to take snapshots of drawings in progress to view at a later time.

I found myself returning to Wellington a few more times and discovered the hidden-away places, such as a little cluster of trees or a group of rocks at the end of the beach, were just as fascinating as all that open water. Wellington State Park is located at 614 West Shore Road in Hebron, NH; call 603-744-2197 for information.

(For open hours/information and admission fees at Wellington State Park, according to www.nhstateparks. org/visit/state-parks/wellingtonstate-park.aspx, “Dates and times are weather dependent and subject to change without notice. For up-to-date hours, please call the park directly.

This park is always open for recreation unless otherwise posted. During off hours and the off-season, the park is typically not staffed, comfort stations are not available and gates may be closed. The off-season poses unique

Please be aware that many State Park areas and trails are not staffed during the off-season, and day-use fees are not collected. Recreationists should possess the necessary knowledge, skill, and equipment to ensure their own safety. Users assume all risk while recreating in State Park land.”)

I noticed, as I drove from place to place, that I started to pay attention to the landscape, the light and the sky. “Would this or that scene be fun to draw?” I asked myself often when

driving by a view of the lake or a pond or the mountains.

When wintertime snow fell, I delighted in the soft shadows of narrow birch trees on the white landscape. The gray light, the softness of snow and the contrasting, ever-changing waters of Winnipesaukee were something I never tired to studying.

I do not often venture far from my car, because I see little need to drag art supplies deep into the woods when there are so many beautiful scenes closer at hand. One special spot I love and would recommend to anyone

wishing to enjoy nature is Profile Falls Recreation Area in Bristol (off Rt. 3A near the Bristol/Hill town line). The recreation land is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and it has many nice places to walk and picnic.

(Visit www.nae.usace.army.mil or call 978-318-8111 for information.) It is a very step-back-in-time sort of place, and a great spot to relax with a picnic lunch and a sketchpad. Please use caution when walking near the water/ falls area.

One of my favorite places to sketch and relax is Ellacoya State Park near Rt. 11 (Scenic Road in Gilford; call 603-293-7821). The area is run by the NH Division of Parks and Recreation and is busy during the summer.

Nevertheless, it is a wonderful place to sit and draw. There are many picnic tables – some near the beach/water and some far enough away from the water to offer shade from nearby trees. On a sunny, late summer’s day, with a light wind blowing, the clouds can look wild as they scuttle across the bright blue sky. It is a scene I never grow tired of looking at and sketching.

This summer, I will grab any free time I may have and continue my daytrip-to-sketch adventures. I find the opportunity to get close to the natural world very appealing. I like to watch the changing of the seasons and colors and the sky in all its moods and in my own way, to capture Lakes Region scenery just for fun and relaxation.

As artist William Merritt Chase once said about drawing and painting outdoors, “You must be right under the sky.”

(Be careful to check for ticks and watch for poison ivy at any wooded/ outdoor location. Do not venture onto private property, carry out your trash and always let someone know where you are when on any adventure trek.

Call ahead to any public park location for handicap accessibility and other information.)

A Scriven Summer

The Scriven Arts Colony launched in 2015 to host poetry readings, film screenings, and more in a circa 1790 barn in Gilmanton. Season three is kicking off at the Colony and it will feature five events. This year there’s a new twist as well: a free yoga class every Saturday morning at 9 am.

After the internet blossomed in the late 1990s, the American newspaper all but died, and it was rumored that radio would likewise fade to oblivion.

Instead, the medium reinvented itself, delivering a bevy of new shows spanning the breadth of what “radio” can be. Gilmanton Iron Works native Sam Evans-Brown is host of one such show, Outside/In, which airs weekly on New Hampshire Public Radio, exploring the natural world and how we use it. On June 30 at 7:30 pm, he will talk about how radio’s renaissance is playing out at NHPR, and about how he conceived his show and what he hopes it can become.

On July 8 at 7:30 pm, a documentary film: Democracy Through the Looking Glass by Kevin Bowe, dives deep into the rabbit hole of the 2016 New Hampshire primary to portray how polarized American politics has become in an era of fake news and lightning-fast social media. Following the 75-minute film, a discussion featuring Bowe and Gilmanton resident/Boston University political scientist Virginia Sapiro will address how today’s citizens can engage in civil discourse and build harmony across party lines. Attendees are encouraged to bring an appetizer to share or, alternatively, a friend of whose politics differ from their own.

As he grew up in Lima, Peruvianborn photographer Hector Emanuel regarded Lake Titicaca, which straddles the Peruvian-Bolivian border high in the Andes, as a timeless, almost mythical place. More recently, he’s made six extended trips to the lake

to record the festivals and daily lives of the Aymara and Quechua Indians living on the shores—and to connect with the spirit of his great-greatgrandfather Carlos, a photographer and musician who lived by Lake Titicaca in the late nineteenth century. On July 22 at 7:30 pm, Emanuel will discuss his Lake Titicaca project and other work, including his coverage of the Colombian civil war, which has earned him awards from the National Press Photographers Association and the World Press Photo Foundation.

A lifelong Gilmanton summer resident and an art history professor at Clark University, in Worcester, Kristina Wilson is a leading expert on furniture design and the author of Livable Modernism: Interior Decorating and Design During the Great Depression, published by Yale University Press.

Now at work on a new book about the 1950s, Wilson will discuss how the Herman Miller Furniture Company incorporated ‘exotic’ tourist art from faraway lands in its advertising to give its products—including storage pieces, tables, and chairs—a global, cosmopolitan air. The talk will take place on August 14 at 7:30 pm.

Back by popular demand, this year’s haunted house will see Gilmanton actor Chas Townsend and his wily cohorts from the Gilford High School drama club resurrecting long-dead Gilmantonites from the grave, on October 31 at 6 pm. Titled Haunted House: Ghosts of Gilmanton Past features a haunting atmosphere, ghouls of all ages, including the serial killer H.H. Holmes, and chilling soliloquies on the lives they led in our humble New England village.

Additionally, the Scriven Arts Colony in Gilmanton will offer a free one-hour yoga class each Saturday at 9 am. Set in a charismatic circa 1790 barn, the classes will be taught by Jade

Badger, a one-time Gilmanton resident now moving back to town as she and her husband, Bobby, build a home on Crystal Lake.

Currently a teacher in training at Yogaworks, in Boston, Badger has been practicing yoga for 17 years.

Her classes will integrate Hatha and Vinyassa Flow as they focus on deepening the connection between mind, body, and breath. “It’s great to be back in Gilmanton,” she says. “I hope my class will bring together yogis of all abilities.”

Badger is an avid distance runner. Her

son, Beck, is one of New Hampshire’s top high school swimmers, and her son, Bode, is an award-winning skier.

If you have a yoga mat and props, please bring them. The Scriven Arts Colony will have a small batch of mats and props on hand for people who don’t have one. Donations are encouraged, but not required.

The Scriven Arts Colony is located at 452 New Hampshire Route 140, Gilmanton, NH 03237. For directions and a full schedule of Scriven events, please visit scrivenartscolony.com.

Ride the New Hampshire Boat Museum’s Millie B One of the best ways to tour Lake Winnipesaukee is by vintage wooden boat. The New Hampshire Boat Museum’s vintage Hacker Craft, Millie B, is the perfect way to sit back, relax and tour the lake in style. Rides commenced on Saturday, May 27 and will continue through Columbus Day weekend.

The Millie B excursion is the best of its kind. Offered as a 45-minute narrated tour along the eastern shore of the lake, you will see spectacular scenery, and learn about the history, geology, and ecology of Lake Winnipesaukee. And you’ll see great houses and maybe even a loon or two!

Reservations are encouraged and may be made by calling the New Hampshire Boat Museum at 603-5694554. Or take your chances and show up at the Wolfeboro Town Docks to see if there’s room on the next ride.

During the shoulder seasons, the boat runs on the weekends only. During July and August the boat runs daily.

All tours are weather dependent. The exact schedule can be viewed at the Museum’s website: www.nhbm.org.

The New Hampshire Boat Museum’s Millie B started operating for the season on Saturday, May 27. (Courtesy photo) Two trained New Hampshire Boat Museum staff is always on duty, as well as a dock attendant who sells tickets and helps visitors on and off the boat and the boat’s captain. Captains have their commercial license and each one gives a unique and informative tour.

As an added bonus, all those who take a Millie B boat ride receive a

Logging and Life Program The Wolfeboro Historical Society has received a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities to fund a fascinating program. Well-known speaker Rebecca Rule will present a program titled “Cross Cut: The Mills, Logging and Life on the Androscoggin on June 5 at 7 pm.

Using oral histories, Rebecca Rule recreates the voices of north country people and uses new and vintage photos to tell the story of logging, the Berlin Mills, and life in the Androscoggin valley, from the beginnings of the logging industry in the 1800s, through the boom years of the Brown Company and subsequent mill owners, and on to the demolition of the stacks in 2007.

Audience members will be invited to share their own stories and discuss the logging and paper industries and the special place “north of the notches.”
