First Hike of the Season

oz

abin Rust y C ic s

C

By Thomas P. Caldwell After a long, seemingly endless winter, we were anxious to get into our hiking boots and out onto the mountain trails once again. Recognizing that we were out of shape and not ready to take on anything too strenuous, and not sure whether we might be encountering muddy areas we’d have to slog through, we were looking for something relatively short and easy for our first hike of the season. Thus it was that, about 3 pm on a 67-degree Saturday afternoon, my dog, Manfred, and I arrived at the Big Pines Natural Area in Tamworth.

Our goal was to see the Great Hill fire tower, one of 29 towers still standing on New Hampshire mountain peaks, of which 17 remain active outposts for spotting fires. At one time, there were another 62 fire towers in the state, according to research by Iris Baird.

Today, with air traffic and even satellites keeping an eye on the landscape, the importance of fire towers has diminished, but, during the early part of the 20th century, when most of the towers were constructed, they were considered to be of major importance, especially because of the amount of debris left behind by the huge lumbering operations of the day.

The threat of forest fires was of great concern to the forest products industry as well as residents of the state, and they worked together with the state and federal government to establish a network of fire detection outposts.

Many of those fire towers had

watchmen who would reside on the mountains for up to six months of the year. With most of those watchman huts now demolished, along with many of the towers, the State of New Hampshire offers a chance to sleep overnight in one of the remaining watchman’s cabins, located on Magalloway Mountain in Pittsburg. Still rustic to the extent that one must bring in water in case the stream is dry, and with an outhouse behind the building, the cabin offers a glimpse into the life of a watchman in the days when the fire tower played a vital role in protecting the forests.

The Great Hill tower lies in the Big Pines Natural Area, a section of Hemenway State Forest, which was a gift to the state by Augustus Hemenway

in 1932. The tower was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 and, during World War II, it doubled as an outpost for the Aircraft Warning Service system. The structure is no longer staffed, and now is owned by the town of Tamworth. The tower, which is maintained jointly by the Tamworth Conservation Commission and the Boy Scouts through a permit from the NH Department of Resources and Economic Development, is open to the public for those willing to climb the stairs to the top of the 35-foot-high structure. It offers an impressive view from the top of the 1,270-foot summit: To the north is the nearby Sandwich Range, to the south are the Ossipee Mountains, and westward are the peaks

above the Squam Lakes region.

Parking alongside the Chinook Trail (Route 113-A) at the large sign indicating the Big Pines Natural Area, we saw a smaller sign describing the path into the woods as a “nature trail” and, indeed, the narrow track leading from the side of the road seemed to be more a path than a hiking trail. As we followed it, the path meandered through a little wooded area between the road and the Swift River — a rapidly moving little stream at that point. Soon we came to the wooden bridge that spans the river and crossed over to the other side, where the Betty Steele Loop Trail begins.

Up to that point, we had seen a few footprints, but it hardly seemed heavily used. Once we got onto the loop trail, with its undisturbed leaves and pinecones, it was hard to believe that anyone had ventured up the trail this spring.

The hike alongside the Swift River was an easy one, gradually gaining in elevation until it intersected with the Spur Trail — the one that leads to the fire tower. Continuing on, and looking for signs of a human presence, we failed to find anything to indicate someone had passed by, even in the few muddy spots we encountered.

We did see signs of life, however: deer droppings and deer prints embedded in the mud. Indeed, the trail looked more like an animal path than a hiking trail, although the trees carried

• Hike Continued from page 3 periodic blazes to indicate where the trail went — and those blazes came in handy at times when the trail was indistinct.

The incline remained gentle for the first half of the Spur Trail, and then it got steeper. Being our first time out on a trail this season, we began to feel it, and even Manfred, who normally bounds ahead, was pausing to rest as we made the final ascent.

But there it was: the fire tower. Near its base were signs of human activity, in the form of a pile of beer bottles.

Someone had come up here, but most likely it was from the Tamworth Village side which, we are told, takes a mere 15 minutes. (Our hike had lasted about 35 minutes with our pauses to rest.)

After gazing at the view from the first platform of the steps leading up to the tower, which was as far as we could venture with our fear of heights (and Manfred wouldn’t accompany us that far), we turned to head back down the trail.

When we rejoined the Betty Steele Loop Trail, we continued our clockwise movement, which brought us into the big pine area where one of the state’s tallest pines (148 feet high) stands.

There were several fallen trees in the area and we had to step over some of them. At one point, where someone had flagged damaged trees for cutting, we found it difficult to tell where the trail was, and made a guess, luckily seeing another blaze a short time later to let us know we had chosen correctly.

As we neared our starting point, we heard a small brook and Manfred

went down for a drink. Once he was satisfied, we continued … and soon realized we’d taken an animal path, rather than the real trail. No problem: It was all downhill from there and we knew that, if we continued down, we’d come to the Swift River.

Sure enough, we soon came upon the path we’d taken going up, and backtracked to the wooden bridge and our waiting truck.

The round-trip distance for our hike was about 2.2 miles, gaining about 200 We Bring the Beauty of the Lakes Region into Your Home Year-Round!

feet in height, so it is not a strenuous hike for those in shape. Yet it was just right for our first hike of the season.

To get to the Chinook Trail (Route 113-A), take Route 113 north from Route 25 until you reach Tamworth Village. Route 113-A begins at the intersection of Route 133 and Cleveland Hill Road. Continue about two miles to reach the Great Pines Natural Area.

For those interested in other fire towers, here is a list of the existing fire towers, with brief descriptions included in the Tower Quest Program (with an asterisk), designed to teach about the importance of fire towers in New Hampshire’s history: Belknap*, Blue Job*, Cannon, Cardigan*, Carrigain, Craney Hill, Federal Hill*, Great Hill, Green*, Hyland Hill, Kearsarge*, Kearsarge North, Magalloway*, Milan Hill*, Oak Hill*, Pack Monadnock*,

Pawtuckaway South*, Pitcher*, Prospect*, Red Hill*, Smarts, Stratham Hill, and Warner Hill*. The following is a list of fire towers in the Lakes Region area.

1. Belknap Mountain, 2,384’ (State) Gilford: From Route 11A at Gilford Village, follow Belknap Mountain Road south for 2.4 miles to Belknap Carriage Road, where it forks left and leads to a parking area. Green Trail (.7 mile) is short and fairly rough; Red Trail (.8 mile) is slightly longer and more scenic.

2. Blue Job, 1,356’ (State) Farmington: From Route 202A, 5.4 miles east of its junction with Route 126 in Center Strafford or 2.8 miles west of its junction with NH 202 near Rochester, take Crown Point Road 5.6 miles. Two trails lead a half-mile to the summit.

3. Mount Cardigan, 3,121’ (State) Orange: From Route 118 about 0.5 mile north of Canaan, turn east at a Cardigan sign and drive 4.1 miles to parking area. Westside trail from parking area (1.4 miles) to summit. (There also is a trail from the Alexandria side of the mountain, where the Appalachian Mountain Club has a lodge.)

4. Green Mountain, 1,907’ (State) Effingham: For the foot trail, take Route 25 for 4.3 miles east from its junction with Route 16 in Center Ossipee, then turn right and go south on Green Mountain Road 1.4 miles.

Turn left onto Highwatch Road and go 1.3 miles to the trailhead (.1 mile beyond the Lakeview (facility). From here to the summit is 1.4 miles.

5. Red Hill, 2,029’ (Town) Moultonborough: Take Bean Road from near the junction of Routes 25 and 25B in Center Harbor. After 1.4 miles, take Sibley Road (fire tower sign) to a parking lot at a gated jeep road. Distance to Red Hill tower: 1.7 miles.

6. Warner Hill, 605’ (State) Derry: Off Warner Hill Road in the town of Derry. Auto access to the tower site.

A Musical Summer

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Musicians have been attracted to the Lakes Region for many years. It is easy to see why; the beauty of the area, the tranquility of the rural villages, and the chance to get away from the city are all attractions that bring musicians from all around the world to this part of NH in the summer.

And Lakes Region audiences love having the variety of musicians because it offers concerts from classical to folk to jazz to rock ‘n’ roll and more. No matter what a visitor’s or year round resident’s taste in music, there is sure to be a concert – indoors or outside – offering the kind of music that will make a Lakes Region day complete.

The Great Waters Music Festival has been offering a variety of concerts for about 20 years. Founded in 1995 by Dr. Gerald Mack, Worcester Chorus director and a former professor at the Hartt School of Music, University of Hartford, the goal was to present a variety of musical programs, featuring both classical and popular sounds. The newly formed festival was non-profit and sought to bring together talented professional and amateur musicians.

The concerts would bring folk, pop, jazz, vocal and instrumental music, as well as classical, to Wolfeboro.

This summer, the series features a variety of musical sounds and artists in Kingswood Arts Center at the Kingswood High School and at Anderson Hall; both venues are in Wolfeboro.

The summer kicks off with popular Devonsquare on June 5 at 7:30 pm at Anderson Hall.

Red Molly follows on June 26 at 7:30 pm at Anderson Hall, bringing a powerhouse vocal trio to Wolfeboro.

John Gorka will perform at Anderson Hall on July 3 at 7:30 pm, followed by the popular Blood Sweat and Tears on July 10 at 7:30 pm at Kingswood Arts Center.

The Best of Broadway comes to Kingswood Arts Center on July 18 at 7:30 pm, featuring the Great Waters Chorus and Orchestra performing Broadway hits from 42nd Street to Oliver and more.

Jonathan Edwards comes to Anderson Hall on July 25 at 7:30 pm.

The 2015 summer series is titled American Landscapes and will run from July 7 to August 6. If you like classical music – sometimes with a twist – this is the series for you.

The schedule includes the opening night on July 9 with Dan Perkins, conductor. The concert is titled American Landscapes (the same name as the entire series) and will offer the music of Nathaniel Stookey, Grofe, Barber and Bernstein.

On July 16, the series presents Dvorak in America with Kevin Deas, bass-baritone and Walter Gray on cello.

The Four Seasons is the title of the July 23 concert with Charles Dimmick, violin.

The season finale will be Dona Nobis Pacem on August 6 with Tammy Petty, soprano and Paul Max Tipton, baritone. Dan Perkins joins conductor Donato Cabrera as the choral director/ conductor.

All the concerts begin at 8 pm and the conductor is Donato Cabrera, unless otherwise noted.

The Tuesday Chamber Series takes place at the Silver Center’s Smith Recital Hall on July 7, 14, 21, 28 and August 4 at 8 pm. The intimate chamber music concerts are performed

by NH Music Festival musicians.

A special event takes place on July 27 at 7 pm titled Oz with Orchestra.

The performance will be held at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion at Meadowbrook with Dan Perkins conducting. Catch the original 1939 Wizard of Oz film on the big screen backed by the Music Festival’s orchestra.

Dumont goes on to say he is excited about the White Mountain Series, which was inspired by the Festival’s 1970s Hut Concerts. “We will have small ensembles go out into the community and you never know where they may be performing,” he says.

Indeed, if you are hiking on Rattlesnake Mountain, you might just come upon a cellist playing beautiful music at sunset, or elsewhere. The website (www.nhmf.org) lists Russell Pond Campground as the location of a White Mountain Series performance on July 18 at 7:30 pm and Chocorua Island Chapel as the site for an August

2, 10:30 am concert.

“We want to engage new audiences and to bring the music to the people through the White Mountain Series,” Dumont adds.

Another way the Music Festival will reach out is by participating in Make Music Plymouth, which takes place on Sat., June 20. Musicians both professional and amateur can sign up ahead of time at www. makemusicplymouth.orgThe event offers free music of all kinds for the public; last year, over 70 musicians performed in the outdoor/free performance setting. Dumont says an Instrument Petting Zoo was very popular last year and offered children a chance to try out different instruments in a safe, fun environment.

The headquarters for the NH Music

Festival was located in the Gilford area for some time, but moved permanently to offices at 7 Main Street in Plymouth.

This move makes sense, since the bulk of the concert series takes place nearby at Silver Center in Plymouth.

If you enjoy outdoor concerts, head to Tilton for the Savina Hartwell Memorial Bandstand concerts at Tilton Island Park in downtown Tilton.

The concerts take place on Sunday evenings at 6 pm; bring a lawn chair or blanket and a picnic, sit back and enjoy the music. (Food and refreshments also will be for sale during the concerts.)

The schedule for the summer of 2015 starts with Studio Two, a Beatles Tribute Band on July 5; Tim and Victoria perform on July 12; 60s Invasion is on July 19; East Bay Jazz Ensemble on July 26; Uncle Steve

Band on Aug. 2; Roxanne and The Voo Doo Rockers on Aug. 9; Mill City Revival Band on Aug. 17; Karen Morgan and the Pony Express on Aug. 23 and the final concert will be Annie & the Orphans on Aug. 30.

The Parks and Recreation Department in Alton presents a great outdoor concert series at the Alton Bay Bandstand near the water. Bring your own blanket or lawn chair and enjoy the variety of free music on Saturday evenings this summer at 7 pm.

The schedule includes Bittersweet Band on July 3; Rockin’ Daddios on July 4; Carter Mtn. Brass on July 11; New Legacy Swing on July 18; Saxx Roxx Band on July 25; Shana Stack Band on August 1; Annie & the Orphans on August 8 and Circus Peanuts on August 22.

An active board of directors worked with Dr. Mack to bring concerts that grew in popularity each year. By 1999, it was obvious Great Waters was taking off and due to the added work to run the Festival, an executive director was hired.

According to www.greatwaters.org, “Since 1995, the Festival has grown from 325 attendees of one classical performance to the present audience of well over 7,000, enjoying over eight different programs and educational offerings. Great Waters Music Festival has consistently attracted regional and national artists to New Hampshire.

Celebrity stars Wynton Marsalis, Dave Brubeck, Ronan Tynan, Richie Havens, Canadian Brass, Sandy Duncan, Arlo Guthrie, Peter Nero, Natalie MacMaster, Chuck Mangione, Betty Buckley, Glenn Miller Orchestra, Lucie Arnaz, Suzanne Ishee, Mark Hardy, Judy Collins, Lee Bryant, Nanci Griffith and Judy Gibson have all delighted sold-out audiences comprised of permanent and seasonal New Hampshire residents, vacationers, visitors and regional musicians of all ethnic and age groups.

In the year 2,000, an acoustical performance tent was purchased.

Located on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee on the grounds of Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, the pavilion provided a large stage, state-of-the-art sound and lighting and comfortable seating with no obstructions for 800 audience members.

By 2011, the Festival took advantage of the new performance facility that had been completed at the Governor Wentworth School District in

DEVONSQUARE June 5

Wolfeboro. The new space allowed the Festival to move headliner concerts into the Kingswood Arts Center. This summer, Great Waters Music Festival is poised to offer a variety of music, from swing to big band to folk and rock, echoing the goal of Dr. Mack when he created the Festival many years ago.

Today the New Hampshire Music Festival offers a concert series featuring musicians from all over the world. What began long ago on a Lake Winnipesaukee island has found a permanent home at the Silver Center for the Arts at Plymouth State University.

The festival came to be after New York City pianist Hedy Spielter fell in love with the Lakes Region when she visited the area. She purchased 60 acres on Winnipesaukee’s Mud Island.

(Admittedly, Mud Island was not a pretty name for the place that would soon be making sweet music!)

Hedy spent winters in New York City coaching professional musicians.

Fellow musical instructor Jules Epailly joined Hedy at Lake Winnipesaukee, and soon the summer home/island was rechristened Melody Island. Where trees had stood, land was opened for an amphitheatre. Rustic cabins were added, as well as a place for pianos.

Later, the theatre area was enclosed in a shell like structure. Rows of benches faced the stage.

According to the book NH Music Festival First Twelve Years by Marjory Gane Harkness, musicians who sought out Hedy and Jules for musical lessons in New York during the winter learned about the summer music camp on the island. Who wouldn’t be attracted to the

• Yesteryear Continued from page 9 notion of playing music in the pastoral and private island setting? Soon, musicians arrived to spend summers on Melody Island and it became a common occurrence to see barges loaded with pianos being transported across the lake to the island.

One summer, Hedy discovered a musical group not far away. Flutist J. Edward Kurth, a classically trainedmusician, lived in nearby Tuftonboro. Kurth owned a comfortable summer home in the village; upon retirement, he was raising poultry on his property but he still played music often.

Kurth taught music to local children and sometimes brought in professional musicians to accompany the youngsters. In the early 1950s Kurth presented the Melvin Village Pops Orchestra in concerts. For three summers the orchestra brought together local and professional musicians in concerts and provided a helping hand to youngsters who dreamed of musical careers. Hedy saw one of the concerts and decided it would be a good way for

her musicians to perform in public.

On balmy summer evenings, boaters heard the sound of music spilling from Melody Island. Curious, they anchored nearby and soon realized they were witnessing first-class musical concerts.

It became a common practice for boats to drop anchor and spend the evening in the cove off Melody Island for a lakeside concert. The music was great, the atmosphere could not be beat and best of all, the concerts were free!

Word spread about the musicians/ concerts at the Melody Island camp and it was an exciting day when Leopold Stokowski of the Philadelphia Orchestra visited the island. He stayed 10 days and later sent a donation to the new Melody Island School of Music.

Every day at 2:30 in the afternoon, rehearsals were held on the island. The public was invited to watch and bring a picnic lunch. A wonderful form of musical entertainment had come to the Lakes Region – the only down side was that anyone who wanted to hear the music had to find a boat ride to the island!

One day, Melody Island musicians were exploring the area and happened upon the Belknap Recreation Area

Notes From The Arborist Emerald Ash Borer Agrilus planipennis (EAB) Affected Species

All North American ash species including White, Black and Green.

Symptoms/Damage

Larvae bore through the bark and into the cambium feeding on the phloem, creating long serpentine galleries causing critical internal damage. The following spring the 1/2 inch adults exit the tree leaving a 3-4mm D shaped hole. EAB can be present in a tree for two years without signs of decline.

(today’s Gunstock) in Gilford, and got permission to play there. They reasoned that it would be a great rehearsal space and it was out of the elements if it rained.

Locals and summer folks caught word of the concerts and came to hear the music. The Melody Island musicians were invited to perform regularly at the recreation area. In September of 1953, the non-profit New Hampshire Music Festival was born. Hedy must have liked the idea because she was among the original incorporators.

A board of directors was formed, including local businesspeople with clout and influence. With the promise of three concerts per season, people started to buy tickets. By the second year a membership drive was underway.

The Music Festival was popular, but it was obvious the musicians and concert series needed a permanent home. It was great fun to hold concerts in the open air on Melody Island or at the Belknap Recreation Area (with one concert taking place at the ski jump and being rained out!), but the audiences and musicians grew tired of battling the sometimes-rainy NH summer weather.

Eventually, operating the Melody Island concerts proved too costly for Hedy and with heavy hearts, those involved in the NH Music Festival and Melody Island School were forced to dissolve their partnership.

The next season, the Festival concerts moved to Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro. Conductor Kurth also ran the business side of the Festival. He was part of the committee that approved the music selections. Eventually Kurth brought in Dean Ryan as conductor and it was a wise move.

Ryan and his wife, also a musician, added six concerts for children with three concerts in Wolfeboro and three in Gilford. The children’s concerts proved that classical music could

appeal to everyone.

In 1958, Festival concerts were held in Plymouth, Bethlehem, Weirs Beach and Wolfeboro and also in the Gilford area. When the Inter-Lakes High School was completed in Meredith, concerts were also held at the new facility.

Ryan experimented with a Pop Concert at Weirs Beach, using light music such as Strauss. The audience was seated at tables and the open-air concert idea was popular.

Festival musicians were housed around the Lakes Region and eventually found a summer home at the former Garnet Inn in Center Harbor. The inn had enough space for rehearsals and also for Festival offices. The building was renamed Festival House.

In 1960, Minneapolis musician Thomas Nee took over as conductor.

Nee’s resume was impressive and the orchestra, with the addition of some fine musicians of Nee’s acquaintance, grew even more popular with Lakes Region audiences.

Nee’s wife was a dancer and she taught dance classes for children. New summer courses in music also were added. Over the years the chorus of the Festival grew and improved and the Festival String Quartet was born in 1960.

The NH Music Festival has continued to grow with each decade.

Headquarters were moved to various Lakes Region locations, as well as performance spaces. Today, the NH Music Festival has found permanent offices in Plymouth, NH and a permanent performance space at the beautiful Silver Center for the Arts at Plymouth State University.

The concerts that started on an island in the 1940s grew over the years amid changing times. For information on this year’s concerts, visit www.nhmf.org.

Training Service Dogs in the Lakes Region: What Does It Take?

By Sarah Wright For someone who is disabled, a service dog can be a lifeline. I’ve seen service dogs before, and have often wondered how they are trained to do such important work. Surely it takes a special kind of dog to be given such a position.

Dorothy Hyde-Williams lives in Tuftonboro and has been training service dogs for years. She tells me that only “the best of the best” graduate from the program. In fact, more than 50 percent of dogs in this country that are enrolled in service or guide dog training, will not make it to the end.

What made Dorothy decide to train service dogs? She was already involved with dog training when her son, Nathaniel, passed away in 2005. It was then she decided to do something more—something special to keep his memory alive.

The following year, she formed the Nathaniel J. Williams Foundation and created A.C.T.S., which stands for Assistance Canine Training Services.

ACTS trains service dogs to work with physically disabled individuals. There are actually two chapters—one in the Mt. Washington Valley area and one in the Lakes Region. Everyone involved with ACTS is a volunteer, working together for a worthy cause, and it all begins with puppies.

Dorothy says that volunteer “puppy raisers” foster the dogs throughout their training, which lasts for roughly two to two-and-a-half years. That’s a real commitment. There are usually 10 to 12 dogs in training at a time, and Dorothy currently has dogs ranging in age from nine weeks to two years.

The puppy raisers attend two training sessions each month with professional trainers, to learn commands that they can reinforce with the dogs at home.

The puppies start by going through the usual dog training, like housebreaking, learning not to jump up on people, and your basic “come,” “sit,” and “stay” commands. However, the volunteers must also take the puppies everywhere with them, to socialize the dogs and get them used to the many public situations they will encounter while working. This is a very important part of a service dog’s training. Dorothy even brings the dogs with her to All

Saints Church in Wolfeboro, to help them learn public manners.

“Church is a great place to train a dog,” says Dorothy. “There are children, loud music, and lots of people. The dog also has to remain down through the whole service.”

Learning how to behave in public is one of the hardest skills for a dog to master. Dorothy recalls one puppy that liked to howl along with the choir!

(It took her three or four months to convince the puppy to stop.)

After basic training, the really tricky stuff starts. “These dogs have to be able to complete a task,” says Dorothy, “something that a physically disabled person can’t do on their own.”

Because the most important task is often retrieving objects, Dorothy finds that the Retriever breed is best suited to the task. “We use Labs and Goldens, mostly, although we also train a standard poodle as well, in case the client has allergies,” says Dorothy.

Poodles train well and they’re less likely to trigger allergic reactions in people.

Service dogs must be able to pick up dropped objects, like keys and pens, and be able to fetch a phone in an emergency. The dogs are also trained to nudge doors open with a nose or paw and then close them again, turn lights off and on, and push the handicapped button to open doors.

After one-and-a-half years of training, Dorothy looks at an individual dog’s strengths and weaknesses, personality, and energy level. The service dog is then matched to a specific client.

During the last six months of the dog’s training, commands can be adjusted to match a client’s needs.

“One dog was taught to untie shoes and tug them off,” says Dorothy, “while another could unzip a jacket and pull it off by the sleeves.” Pretty impressive!

There are also “balance trained” dogs for clients who have balance issues from conditions like multiple sclerosis or vertigo. “The harness has a very rigid handle, and the dog is trained to keep the person upright and walking in a straight line,” says Dorothy.

Finally, the client and their new service dog will go through two weeks of team training together, so that the client can learn how to use the commands to control the dog. The dog

then graduates from the program and goes home with the client, although there is plenty of follow up to make sure everything is working out smoothly.

Over the years, Dorothy’s service dogs have helped many people with mobility issues, whether the person uses a cane, crutches, or a wheelchair.

What about those dogs that don’t make it to the end of the program? All is not lost.

“Dogs that can’t handle busy public situations can be used in

• Service Dogs Continued from page 17 facility therapy, and be placed with a therapist,” says Dorothy. “There is a dog at the Child Advocacy Center of Carroll County that greets the children and puts them at ease. Another dog was placed in Massachusetts, at a facility that helps soldiers suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder.” The dogs might also be placed as “home helper” dogs, helping someone out at home, exclusively.

“There is a very high demand for

service dogs,” says Dorothy, “with a two- to four-year waiting list.”

And when a dog passes away, that creates another need. It takes a lot of effort, and there is a lot of kindness involved along the way. Breeders donate puppies to ACTS, while groomers and veterinarians donate their services to the organization.

Meredith Past and Present Guided Tours Offered The Greater Meredith Program Sculpture Walk has partnered with the Meredith Pathways Committee and will offer guided tours to explore Meredith Past and Present on Sat., June 6 at 1 pm.

Starting at Hesky Park, guides will be available to lead tours that encompass some of the historical buildings in Meredith with sculptures that have been positioned throughout the town.

This is a good opportunity to hear some of Meredith’s colorful history and enjoy the public art that is now part of the community.

Come and learn about The Great Catastrophe in 1855 and what Meredith resident was with Lincoln

the night he was assassinated. Find out why the artist named the sculpted hand Advantage and how the American Dog sculpture was created.

Look for the canopy in Hesky Park where the tours will begin. The event is free to the public and Crystal Geyser water, donated by CG Roxane, will be available for participants.

Boys and girls of all ages are welcome to join in the magic on Sat., July 11 as the Wolfeboro Area Children’s Center presents the fifth annual Fairy Land Festival at Cate Park in Wolfeboro.

Picturesque Cate Park will be transformed into a magical fantasyland with dozens of one-of-akind, beautiful, handmade fairy houses prominently displayed or perfectly tucked within the natural surroundings.

People will be able to take a self-guided tour of the locally crafted fairy houses from 10 am to 2 pm.

Admission to the event is a suggested donation of $5 per person.

Proceeds benefit the Children’s Center.

Fairy houses are tiny homes built of “found” materials, lots of creativity, and a giant pinch of pixie dust. Twigs, stones, leaves, shells, bark, pine needles, leaves, and acorn caps become foundations, rafters, roofs, soft floors, and doors to these amazing creations.

The design possibilities are infinite and

Lars holds a fine arts degree and taught art for over 35 years in New York state. Now living in York, Maine, Lars continues exploring and developing his craft full-time. Please stop by the Gallery at 279 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith or call 279-7920 for further information.

enchanting. (Maybe you are one of the hundreds of people who discovered these houses in the park last summer.)

Kids can participate in the magic by building their own fairy houses at a fully stocked crafts table.

The table will have twigs and branches, moss, acorns, pinecones, boxes and glue, and much more that will help any child create their own fairy house. The first 100 children will have the opportunity to participate in a Fairy Scavenger Hunt for a $1 fee.

Some of the fairy houses may be raffled off at the event to benefit the Wolfeboro Area Children’s Center.

Cate Park is easily accessible— by car, foot or boat—in downtown Wolfeboro, right by the docks and the edge of Lake Winnipesaukee. Come for the fairy magic and an idyllic family day and enjoy downtown Wolfeboro as well.

Call the Children’s Center at 5691027 for more information.
