Celebrating Mother’s Day in the Lakes Region

By Sarah Wright Mark Twain once wrote, “My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.” Yes, the love, nurturing, and certainly patience of a mother for her child are hard to match. Mother’s Day on May 14 is a chance for us to show “Mom” our appreciation. Some of us also choose to celebrate other women who have held a similar role in our lives, such as grandmothers, stepmothers, and aunts.

As we grow older, our relationships with our mothers may ebb and flow, but that special bond always remains.

Many people show their love and appreciation for their mothers with flowers or a thoughtful card, but there are lots of other ways to show her you care. This year, as always, the Lakes Region offers a number of memorable ways to spend time with Mom. Why not catch up with her over a nice meal? Many local restaurants offer lovely brunches for Mother’s Day. Celebrate Mom at Mill Falls on Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith, and dine in the elegant Church Landing Ballroom. The Lakehouse Grille will provide a delicious brunch buffet from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, with dinner specials to follow. All mothers who attend will received a flower while supplies last, in support of the New Beginnings Crisis Center in Laconia.

Call 603-279-5221 to make your reservation.

M/S Mount Washington 2017 Season Has Begun!

With the successful completion of its annual inspection by the New Hampshire Departments of Safety, Marine and Fire Safety Divisions, the venerable M/S Mount Washington returned to its summer port of Weirs Beach in early May, ready to kick off its 2017 cruising season.

“We’re looking forward to getting back out on the big lake and for a successful cruising season,” said Captain Jim Morash, General Manager of Mount Washington Cruises.

The New Hampshire Department of Safety annually inspects the vessels before issuing the cruise line its license to operate. “Safety is the numberone priority with our vessels and our

relationship with the Marine and Fire Safety Divisions is very important to us,” said Senior Captain Paul Smith. “We are in contact with them throughout the year and open to their suggestions in how to improve our operation in terms of safety. In addition, we’re always making improvements

and updating older systems with the newer technology available.”

Upholding a longstanding tradition, TheMother’s Day Brunch Cruise on Sunday, May 14 will be the first cruise available to the public. The two-anda-half-hour scenic cruises of Lake Winnipesaukee, feature a champagne brunch and entertainment for all ages.

There are two brunch cruises to choose from: 10 am or 2 pm. Tickets are available for both.

“We’re also excited for our customers to see all the renovations the City of Laconia has made to the Weirs

Beach area,” added Captain Morash.

“With new sidewalks, lights, and underground utilities, Lakeside Avenue will showcase a brighter, cleaner look to compliment the scenic beauty of the Weirs.”

The official 2017 daily cruising season for the M/S Mount Washington, and her sister vessels, run from May 20 until October 19, offering daily cruises from the summer port of Weirs Beach while servicing the ports of Alton Bay, Center Harbor, Meredith and Wolfeboro.

Departure times and options vary through the season with July and August having the most cruises available. Options include daily scenic, evening dinner dance and island mail delivery cruises. To learn more about the various vessels (Mount Washington, Doris E. & Sophie C.) and to view a more complete schedule with times and ticket prices, visit www.cruisenh. com or call 603-366-5531.

“Extra! Extra!” ~ Read All About It!

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

Once upon a time, if you wanted the local or national news, you grabbed the daily or weekly paper. Newspaper boys yelled, “Extra! Extra!” when a big story hit, and millionaire newspaper magnates like William Randolph Hearst had a sixth sense about what stories would attract the average reader.

If you worked for a newspaper, you could say, “I’m a reporter for such-andsuch paper,” or “You might’ve seen my story in print in last week’s edition.”

There was pride in chasing down a story, with the knowledge that your words would be read by many people.

Then, along came cable television and the internet and cell phones and all the methods of instant news and

• Day Tripping Continued from page 14 look. And you can learn a tremendous amount about how life was lived and how we got to where we are today from visiting historical museums. Luckily for Lakes Regioners and visitors to the area, the Laconia Public Library at 695 North Main Street (in Laconia) is the place where the Laconia Historical and Museum Society presents changing exhibits on a variety of topics.

When I learned that the Society is featuring an exhibit on the history of Laconia’s newspaper, the Citizen, I knew I was in for a treat. Since high school, I have worked in the newspaper business. I can thank the owners of the Bristol Enterprise for my tentative first step into the print world. My brother was employed, while still in high school, at the Enterprise and soon I too was working part time, typing address labels and doing errands. Even though my role was miniscule at the weekly, small-town newspaper, I was fascinated. People waited with anticipation for the paper to be printed each week, and I saw then the power of the printed word.

I think Edward John Gallagher (1890-1978) must have been aware of that power as well. His initial foray into journalism came about when he was recovering from a bout of tuberculosis. He was ill for four years and was given a typewriter, probably to stave off the tedium of a long recovery. At age 15 he wrote, “How to Care for an Invalid” and saw his story published in a national magazine.

Sometimes from adversity come great things. It is Gallagher’s story,

along with the history of the newspaper he founded, the Laconia Citizen, that is the subject of the exhibit at the Laconia Library.

I arrived at the library on a rainy, chilly springtime afternoon, and made my way to the top floor rotunda area where the Historical Society exhibits are on display. (I have seen some wonderful exhibits in the rotunda area, from the history of local clinics and hospitals to beautiful old theatre curtains, to name but a few of the varied displays.)

The exhibit is a “you-can’t-miss it” eye catcher, with the words The Citizen hanging above the entrance, banner-style. The title of the exhibit is “The Citizen 90 Years of an Iconic Laconia Newspaper.” The Laconia Historical and Museum Society certainly have done the memory of Gallagher and the newspaper proud. The exhibit traces the start of the paper, right up through the time it ceased publishing, in 2016.

According to information in the exhibit, Gallagher never attended college, but still he was a big success when he moved to Laconia, where he was a businessman, mayor, banker…and of course, the publisher of the Citizen.

The first edition of the paper was January 4, 1926, but it wasn’t the first or only newspaper in the town. Somehow, above all others, the Citizen thrived while other papers came and went.

Typefaces are a huge part of the printing of any newspaper, and a glass case in the exhibit shows a book of ear• Day Tripping Continued on page 16

Before today’s speedy computers, reporters had to craft their stories on typewriters. A wonderful old Underwood typewriter shows how reporters once typed their stories, which, when completed, were sent to be handset, letter by letter, by staff. In 1925, Gallagher purchased a flatbed printing press that weighed 14 tons. It was a mammoth piece of machinery and so big a pit had to be dug in a building on Hanover Street to house the press.

Type was set by hand, letter-by-letter and a single column inch of type could take a long time to set. It was an incredibly slow process, and newspaper staff all over the country must have rejoiced when linotype machines came along. (This method used a hot metal typesetting system that could produce an entire line of type at once.)

Beacon Street location with copies of the “Victory in Europe” edition in May of 1945. They are all smiling, dressed casually, some in jaunty caps, ready to deliver this very-important and joyful news to the public.

Eventually, Gallagher’s daughter, Alma, and her husband took over the paper. In later years, it was purchased and run by others. The paper ceased publication in 2016.

The exhibit pays tribute also to a number of men and women who made the Citizen possible, from 1926 to 2016. As I read the long list of names, it was brought home to me what an impact the paper had on the Lakes Region. Many made a viable living and a big contribution to the public through their jobs at the paper, from general managers to news reporters, photographers, graphics staff, circulation, advertising, correspondents and office staff who were often the first voice one heard when contacting the newspaper.

No matter how you get news today – whether via the internet, television or radio, there was a time when the one and only (and most reliable) way to get the news was to grab a newspaper. The Laconia Citizen brought local news as well as the sometimes scarier but always newsworthy larger world to homes all over the Laconia area.

If, like me, you grew up with the viewpoint that daily and weekly newspapers were (and are) rather special, you will love the exhibit. Plan to take someone younger with you – a child or grandchild – so they can get a look at how the news has morphed over the decades.

And take a moment to say a silent thank-you to Mr. Gallagher, whose daring and vision started it all so long ago.

The exhibit at the Laconia Library will be on display through May. For further information, call 603-5271278, email lhmslpl@metrocast.net or go to www.laconiahistory.org.

The Best of Barbershop at Great Waters On Friday, May 12, Great Waters Music Festival will present “The Best of Barbershop” at the Great Hall, upstairs in the Wolfeboro Town Hall.

The performance features three talented, award-winning quartets from the Boston area: Downtown Crossing, Boston Accent and DRIVE A Cappella. The show will start at 7:30 pm and admission is $20. (The show is sponsored by Fidelity Investments.)

While the modern era of barbershop music is accepted to have begun with a 1940s revival, opinions as to the genre’s origins vary with respect to race, gender, region and context.

Barbershops have a long history of serving as community centers, where men would gather for a variety of activities. Samuel Pepys as amateur instrumental music, for example, described English “barber’s music”, in the 17th century. In the United States, the role of the barbershop continued, particularly for African-American men, who passed time singing spirituals, folk songs and popular songs. This generated a new style, consisting of unaccompanied, four-part, closeharmony singing. Later, minstrel singers adopted the style, and in the early days of the recording industry their performances were recorded and sold. Early standards included songs such as “Shine On, Harvest Moon”, “Hello, Ma Baby”, and “Sweet Adeline”.

According to the Barbershop

Harmony Society (BHS), “Barbershop music features songs with understandable lyrics and easily singable melodies, whose tones clearly define a tonal center and imply major and minor chords and barbershop (dominant and secondary dominant) seventh chords that resolve primarily around the circle of fifths, while making frequent use of other resolutions.”

Slower barbershop songs, especially ballads, often eschew a continuous beat, and notes are often held (or sped up) ad libitum.

Downtown Crossing consists of Dan Costello, Ben Orenstein, Joey Constantine, and Seth Orenstein.

They have most recently been honored as the 2013 Northeastern District Quartet Champions, but fans are just as likely to hear them singing on the T (subway) as on stage.

Downtown Crossing is an officially registered quartet of the Barbershop Harmony Society.

Boston Accent, the 2006 Harmony, Incorporated International Quartet Champions, is based in the North Shore of Massachusetts, and includes members Cheryl Brusket (lead), Karen Rourke (bass), Ruth Berman (tenor) and Julie Jeffrey (baritone).

DRIVE, the 2016 Northeast District Champion consists of Dan Allison, Josh Beswick, Joey Constantine and Ray Johnson.

The Great Waters Music Festival is a non-profit organization dedicated

to bringing outstanding musical performances to people living in and visiting the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Thanks to all who have contributed to this organization, it is able to provide high-quality

musical performances at reasonable prices. Information and tickets for all performances are available at the office at 54 North Main St. in Wolfeboro, by calling 603-569-7710, or online at www.greatwaters.org.

The 34th Annual Winni Derby to be held May 19 to 21 After a one-year hiatus, the Winni Derby, Lake Winnipesaukee's spring salmon and lake trout tournament, will be held for the 34th time the weekend of May 19-21.

The Daniel Webster Council of the Boy Scouts of America has partnered with the Laconia Rotary Club to promote and produce this year's tournament. The Laconia Rotary Club took over management of the Winni Derby from the Lakes Region Inland Fishing Association and tournament founder Rick Davis in 2011. Davis intended to support the Rotary Club and the tournament in an advisory capacity at the time, so his death in November 2011 was a blow to tournament organizers.

After producing the Winni Derby for

four more years on their own, the Laconia Rotary Club canceled the 2016 derby and announced that they were looking for a partner to help bring back the tournament for 2017. The Daniel Webster Council responded and has committed to keeping the Winni Derby going on an annual basis. "We are pleased that the Scouts stepped up to help us bring back the Winni Derby and look forward to seeing it grow under their leadership," said Jon Nivus, Treasurer of the Laconia Rotary Club.

Proceeds from the tournament will benefit the character-building youth programs of the Boy Scouts of America.

The 34th annual Winni Derby will introduce new elements to the tour-

New Hampshire Fish & Game officials are looking forward to the Winni

Derby as part of their ongoing effort to monitor the health of the fishery and educate fishermen about ways to be good stewards of Lake Winnipesauke's limited population of landlocked salmon.

"The Winni Derby has been an important part of our management of the salmon fishery for over 30 years and we look forward to partnering with the Boy Scouts to continue our efforts," said John Viar, Biologist with the Inland Fisheries Division of New Hampshire's Fish & Game Department.

Alan "A.J" Nute, owner of A.J.'s Bait & Tackle in Meredith, says there is a lot of excitement among fishermen and Lake's Region business owners about the Winni Derby's return. "The Derby's going to be a busy weekend for all of us on the lake. We're thrilled that it's back," said Nute.

Outstanding NH Women Nathalie Erickson: Theater’s Leading Lady in the Lakes Region Story by Barbara Neville Wilson School will barely be out and summer hardly beginning on June 26, when 75 children ages 5-18 head back to school in Wolfeboro. Skipping and singing, dancing and cartwheeling, they’ll take their place on the stage or behind the scenes to work on Madagascar, the 47th annual production of the Kingswood Children’s Summer Theater.

Together, they’ll practice lines and learn to dance, discover stagecraft and experiment with new personae, and at the end of July, they’ll put on a toetapping performance to an appreciative audience who will leave the Kingswood Arts Center amazed at the talent and energy of the young ensemble. Little ones will beg, “Mommy, when can I be in Summer Theater?” and adults— parents, even grandparents—will sigh and remember their time in the spotlight in The Emperor’s New Clothes, Heidi, The King and I, and practically every fairytale known to man. And many will remember fondly the late Nathalie Erickson, the woman who gave them license to imagine, experiment and try new things together.

None of this would have happened if not for the Stock Market Crash of 1929.

In 1928, 14-year-old Nathalie was living a very full upper-class life in Riverdale, NY. She went to the Country Day School where her classmates were children with last names like Kennedy (yes, those Kennedys) and Bloomingdale (yes, that Bloomingdale), ice-skated, collected costumes, and dreamed of being an actress. She had been accepted to a prestigious drama program and life looked wonderful for Nathalie, the daughter of a successful commodities trader…until October 29, 1929 when her world imploded and the family moved to Wolfeboro, NH for a simpler, quieter life. After the move, the family took work at Nathalie’s Uncle “Bally” Ballentine’s Camp Kehonka in Wolfeboro, and learned to make their own fun in a town that became quiet once the summer folk went home.

Nathalie was always an innovator, a creator, an encourager and, says Ray Lord, her longtime friend and Summer Theater co-creator, headstrong. “You didn’t say ‘you can’t do that’ to Nat.”

When Nathalie saw a need for a pre-school in the Wolfeboro area, she created it. When she saw a need for children to have wholesome fun in the summer, she and Ray cooked up the theater program, and, enlisting the help of Kingswood vice principal Tom Lovett, added it to the previously traditional list of academic summer school courses offered in the Governor Wentworth school district.

Ray chuckles as he recalls, “Tom had to do a little finagling to get it through the school board, but it was something he was glad to do” because he saw the need in the community.

Nathalie’s daughter, Karen Laughon, echoes, “Kids had absolutely nothing to do, so [the Theater] really took off.”

Deb Jones, who worked alongside Nathalie in Summer Theater for 25 years, says Summer Theater was unique in the way Nathalie asked children to take ownership of all aspects of the productions. She’d take an actor into the costume room and say, “You’re Annie. What do you think your costume should look like?’” and “Kids would make posters, color them, and go and hang them” themselves.

Ray was co-director, and Nathalie was producer/co-director, but her special gift was in costuming. The entire third floor of her large Victorian home was taken over by her costume collection. “She was a genius…she could dress every era,” says Ray, but it was often a process that took place over time.

“Her favorite phrase was ‘fru fru’,” says Deb. “If she didn’t see the whole costume in her mind, accessories and everything, she’d say, ‘We’ll just fru fru that.’ ” And she did.

Twenty-eight years of teaching first grade and 32 years in Summer Theater gave Nathalie a knack for knowing what a child needed in order to grow into the role they played, onstage or off. She was stern when she needed to be, and yet, at the same time, would have “one arm around the shoulders” of the student. Ray’s eyes sparkle when he says, “She was a tyrant, about simple necessary things like ‘hang up your costumes when you’re finished’ but I think she loved every one of those

kids.”

Pam Hopkins, a Wolfeboro native and neighbor to the Erickson’s remembers, “She had a wonderful smile and twinkle in her eye” and she was always an educator, whether through a memory game or dancing the jitterbug. “She taught us to enjoy life and to use our imaginations.”

Daughter Karen agrees, “She had this very special talent of connecting with a child. It didn’t matter how much money they had or where they grew up,” Nathalie made them feel special and encouraged them to find their place, whether it was onstage or off.

It was this sense of respect for talent, perhaps, that made Summer Theater productions magical, Ray says.

“Cooperation” was the watchword of its founders and through their enthusiasm, everyone got involved.

“Particularly parents, of course. We had fathers who would build and paint.

‘What do you want?’ they would ask.

Designs would come from their heads, and they were always appropriate.

“It was the essence of cooperation… and standing back and watching [an amazing production] from the wings, we would say, ‘I have no idea how that happened,’” but it did.

Some students from Kingswood Children’s Summer Theater have gone on to theater careers in New York and Los Angeles, while others continue in roles supporting students in today’s Summer Theater. For many, though, Summer Theater is simply a fond memory with Nathalie Erickson’s lessons of creativity, respect and cooperation becoming life constants.

The Crash of ’29 may have derailed Nathalie Erickson’s dream of a life onstage, but it gave her a stage to change lives, sending thousands of young people out into a world made better for her dreams.

The Kingswood Summer Theater celebrates 47 years in 2017 with a production of Madagascar. Children who have completed kindergarten through age 18 are invited to attend the six-week session, which runs from June 26 through July 30. Register at www.wolfeboro-arts.org.

Get Creative at the Meredith Fine Craft Gallery The League of NH Craftsmen – Meredith Fine Craft Gallery offers a workshop on Saturday, May 13 from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm for an intermediate level Zentangle Class called “All Tangled Up!” with qualified instructor, Maya Hardcastle.

Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images one stroke at a time for the non-artist and artist alike. The Zentangle drawing method provides a structured path to create art from patterns by breaking them down into basic steps and opens the door of art to all ages and varying abilities. Focus, stress reduction, and confidence are just some of the benefits that are discovered through the Zentangle drawing method.

This class is for students who have some experience with the Zentangle Method and want to take their “tangling” skills to another dimension.

The instructor will teach students to master some of the Zentangle

patterns that look impossible to draw with various techniques, including “propagating” or “tangellating”, to create patterns with endless variety and flow.

Tuition is $25.00 per student and there is a $10.00 materials fee paid directly to the instructor, if you need to purchase the Basic Kit. (Materials fee includes the Basic Kit supplies: tiles, pencil, Black 01 Micron Pen and a smudger.) There is no materials fee, if you already have the Basic Kit. Students are also encouraged to bring a sketchbook or blank journal and colored pencils.

Space is limited. Pre-registration is required. To register for this workshop, please call the League of NH Craftsmen – Fine Craft Gallery at 603-279-7920 or stop by the gallery at 279 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith, NH. For more details, visit www.meredith. nhcrafts.org. or the League’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/nhcraft/.

On This Spot Once Stood - Remembering New Hampshire’s Architectural Heritage The Centre Harbor Historical Society and the Town of Center Harbor Heritage Commission are jointly sponsoring the program “On This Spot Once Stood: Remembering New Hampshire’s Architectural Heritage” on Thurs., May 25 at 7 pm at the Center Harbor Village Schoolhouse Museum, 94 Dane Road/Route 25B in Center Harbor. Admission is free and the public is welcome to attend.

New Hampshire has lost many of its historic buildings to fire, neglect, intentional demolition, and redevelopment. In some cases, a plaque or marker provides a physical reminder of what once was; but in other areas, no tangible evidence remains. Speaker Maggie Stier showcases some of the celebrated buildings that have been lost in New Hampshire, including such local treasures as the grand tourist hotel Senter House in Center Harbor.

The Senter House burned in 1887, was immediately rebuilt as the Colonial Hotel (pictured), and was lost to fire again in 1919. Ms. Stier also explores

The Historical Society and the Heritage Commission are working together to preserve and protect historic resources that are owned by the Town of Center Harbor. Since 1975, the 1886 Village Schoolhouse is home to the Historical Society and its Museum.

From 1886 until 1970, children attended grammar school at “the little school,” as they affectionately called it. (The school was closed and today Center Harbor students go to InterLakes in Meredith, NH.) The Heritage Commission is spearheading a phased project to rehabilitate the vacant 1843 Center Harbor Town House and return it to public use for town and community meetings. The two historic buildings, like others around the state, are important to New Hampshire’s heritage and should never be lost. They must not be remembered by the words “on this spot once stood...”
