Put a Little Race in Your Life!

By Barbara Neville Wilson If things have gotten dull in your life and you need a new hobby to shake things up, maybe you need to put a little race in your life.

If you’re reading this article, you are indeed lucky because you are in the heart of vintage motorcycle race country. And vintage motorcycle racing is one of the friendliest competitive sports to be found.

It was here in New Hampshire that the first officially sanctioned vintage motorcycle races were organized by Bob Coy and Frank Ianucci and held by their newly minted United States Classic Racing Association (USCRA) at the old Bryar Motorsports Park in Loudon in July of 1981.

When the New Hampshire Motor Speedway replaced the Bryar park in 1990, it contracted with the founders of the Vintage Race series to continue its race season in Loudon, and under the watchful eye of Bob Coy, its popularity continues to grow. How does one get started in the sport today? Kerry Smith, a member of Team Giannini, winner of the 2011 USCRA Championship, 2013 American Motorcyclists Association Clubman 350, is one of the circuit’s top riders, and a second generation motorcycle buff.

Although she grew up with a father on the race circuit and a mother who attends—and times—nearly all Kerry’s races, she suggests a neophyte can easily test the waters “through friends,” or “a lot of towns have groups, and shops. Or just come on down to the racecourse and walk through. You can wander in garages and talk.”

The motorcycle community is really welcoming and besides, in a day of 13 races, most racers are only active in two or three contests. “The rest of the time we just sit around and drink beers.”

Kerry Smith. Photo Paul Duval Unlike NASCAR and other races on the NHMS track, USCRA race teams welcome guests into their garages.

There’s no particular protocol, says Kerry. Just keep your eyes open, because you don’t want to be in anyone’s way. In a typical garage, there might be four to six bikes, and a full set of leathers, helmets and tools for each.

You can talk to anyone, Kerry says; the only people not to disturb are those obviously preparing for a race, suiting up, or “really wrenching” on their bike.

Stick around in the garage to watch races and listen to the play-by-play of those who live the sport, and if you like what you see, start preparing your bike and yourself for a new life in racing.

First off, is your cycle old enough?

According to USCRA’s 2017 rulebook, any motorcycle 25 or more years old is eligible to be ridden in vintage road races. Bikes 50 or more years old can be entered into Pewter Runs. Most bikes are modified, so be sure to consult the rulebook for acceptable changes to the original machine.

Second, are you protected? You want to be covered and cushioned from head to foot. Kerry’s helmet is durable and custom-fitted for maximum protection.

It’s so important to her that she has taken a course in custom fitting from

maker Arai at the Service Pavillion in New Holland, PA. She wears the same helmet for street riding and racing, she says, but she will often add tighter cheek pads for the track. That extra 40 mph added onto street speed can be hard on the face if left unprotected.

Forty extra miles per hour? Yep. Kerry generally races at speeds over 100 miles per hour, and was clocked at 111 (miles per hour) on the track at the Phillip Island Classic in Australia in 2014. One of two women racing in a field of 250, the experience, she says, was “amazing.”

Of course, speed means you need overall body protection. While many people ride recreationally with just a leather jacket and perhaps chaps, racers need full body coverage. All racers crash at some point, and most do it on a regular basis. “More often than you think,” says Kerry. Like anything else, the full-body racing suits, called

“leathers,” can be found in all levels of quality. Kerry swears by Vansons, but there are many respected makers. “You want to be careful,” Kerry shares. Make sure yours will not be a “one crash suit.” When you pay $800-$1000 for an off-the-rack model, or $1600-$2000 for a custom model, you want it to last for decades, and a thick, conditioned, properly crafted suit will do just that.

Although safety is the first priority in choosing leathers, Kerry explains unabashedly why she went custom made. “Because I’m a woman and I want them to be cute.”

So how do you make the leap from street riding on modern bikes to racing on vintage machines? Before every USCRA weekend event, a licensing course is offered. On Friday, students take several hours of classroom instruction where they learn the rules of the road, flag signals and etiquette.

On Saturday morning, they meet on the track to run a mock race with volunteer racers. Afterwards, they’re given tips and pointers and then the opportunity to run a Rookie Race solo. The rookies wear special vests so the veterans around them know to watch out for them.

Veterans are always happy to have new riders join them. “We’re such a tight community,” says Kerry, that they like to help others succeed. Kerry often volunteers at race school and freely • Race Continued on page 4

• Race Continued from page 4 gives advice, especially if a student does something dangerous. In track riding, racers can all share very tight quarters, so “it’s important to be really intentional about riding,” making no unexpected moves like swooping across the track.

Kerry says something almost poetic next. “You want to dance with your bike. A bike wants to stand up.” And speed will take it there. “You lead, but you don’t want to force it. A real rookie mistake is to try to force it to stand up too quickly. I don’t hesitate to tell a rookie…” but then, she catches herself. “Well, if they’re not in my [racing] class, I might tell him, but I’m competitive. If they’re in my class, though…” her voice trails off and I sense a wry smile at the other end of the phone line.

Vintage racing is a rare sport of equality. Races are categorized by

Kerry on the race track on her signature red motorcycle. Sam Berg Photography machine, but racers are not divided by gender, age, or experience. Kerry races for the same trophy on the same course against men, people older and younger than herself, and with people of more and less experience, although, she says,

some races go off in waves, where experienced riders will be expected to lap novice racers.

Men still outnumber women in vintage motorcycle race circles, but participation by both genders is

values.

The plays and musicals range from a cult classic, to a feel-good musical, to one of the most-filmed Sherlock Holmes tales, to an iconic comedic drama, to a beloved PBS series, and finally to a quintessential American western.

The summer kicks off its high heels on June 14 with the live musical, The Rocky Horror Show. The stage version of this zany musical pre-dates the film version, which became known for its interactive midnight shows. Audience members who choose to do so, will have the opportunity to participate in some of the interactive elements of the film as the Playhouse will make available audience prop bags with instructions on how to participate.

The narrator of the show, played by the Playhouse’s Artistic Director Neil Pankhurst in a rare stage appearance, informs the audience they will be taken on a “strange journey” as the story of Brad and Janet begins. The innocent couple ends up at the mysterious castle of the infamous sweet transvestite Dr. Frank-N-Furter where they will witness that unforgettable song, The Time Warp.

increasing. “Thanks to the hipster movement, it’s really growing,” Kerry says. She considers it high praise that Paul Duval, fellow champion racer and motorcycle instructor—who also happens to be her boyfriend— recently complimented her as a true competitor. Not a woman competitor, just a competitor. “With women, sometimes there’s a hump you have to go over. They’re good, but they can’t get over themselves.” Kerry has made it over that hump with the help of many people in the motorcycle community.

“Walking through the paddock, I just am surrounded by people who have helped me all along the way. People like Steve D’Angelo, Dave Evans, Bob Demetrius, and Pete Talabach. I look up to them, and now that I’ve beaten them, I still look up to them.”

Vintage motorcycle racing “is my family and my life,” says Kerry. “It’s so much more than a hobby.”

Maybe it’s time to put a little race in your life?

The Rocky Horror Show will be followed by a show straight out of the golden age of musicals, High Society, a feel-good Cole Porter favorite. The third show will be a dynamic stage adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s best-known Sherlock Holmes tale, The Hound of the Baskervilles. 1960s California is the setting for the fourth show, the stage version of The Graduate, based on the Dustin Hoffman film. The final installment of Alan Ayckbourn’s Norman Trilogy follows with Round and Round the Garden. The final production of the summer season will be the Playhouse’s first western, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, which is best-known for the film version starring John Wayne and James Stewart.

The 2017 summer season at the Playhouse begins on June 14 and continues through September 9. Subscriptions are available, offering theatergoers a great discount when they see all six productions. Subscriptions, along with individual tickets, can be ordered by calling 603-279-0333 or at www.winnipesaukeeplayhouse. org.

It’s Never Too Late to Sail LWSA Sailing School Introduces Adult Sailing & Private Lessons Story and photos courtesy LWSA The Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing Association (LWSA) in Gilford may be better known for its Sailing School attended by hundreds of kids each summer, but what is probably less well known is that LWSA also offers lessons to adults. In fact, this year LWSA is introducing adult lessons earlier in the season than ever due to popular demand. Many people buy a new or used boat early in the year and want some help learning how to sail it or maybe they feel a bit rusty, not having sailed in a few years. LWSA also sees a large number of adults who are trying out sailing for the first time at any age.

To meet these needs, as Lake Winnipesaukee’s local community sailing association, LWSA offers group classes from beginner to intermediate. Plus, for people who want more personal, hands-on attention, private lessons can be arranged on large or small boats

belonging to the Sailing School or on your own boat at your place.

Proceeds from the lessons go to support the kids’ programs at the Sailing School, including discounts and financial aid that LWSA offers to make youth sailing more affordable for all families in the Lakes Region.

LWSA is a local charitable non-profit which has taught nearly 3,000 people, younger and older alike, to sail and appreciate the awesome beauty of using wind and water to move a boat.

Its nationally-certified instructors teach youth and adults in group or private one-on-one or family lessons. LWSA volunteers are active in organizing most of the sailboat racing that takes place on the Lake from April to October each year.

A Fish Jumpin’ Adventure Story & Photo by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper There’s something about seeing a wooden sign for a NH Fish and Game Fish Hatchery that makes me smile. Those signs take me back to my childhood: growing up near the Smith River in Bristol, NH, I was used to the moods and sounds of the river, from its sedate, sluggish flow after a summertime drought to the bursting energy and ice flow break ups of a spring thaw day when the snow began to melt.

I always respected and loved the river, and I knew it was life itself to many creatures. Sometimes, the river’s bounty provided dinner for our family.

Sometimes, when my father arrived home from work, my mother would eagerly deliver the news that the “fish hatchery truck” had been spotted driving by our house earlier in the day.

My father would grab a fishing pole and make his way to the river’s edge to reel in enough plump trout for our evening meal.

The NH Fish and Game oversee the fish hatcheries around the state and the

l u g, a n d c o m e t o y o

hatcheries are great places to visit…it is from these places that the trout (and other fish) start their lives.

I happened to see a fish hatchery sign recently, and thought to myself that it would be interesting to revisit the Powder Mill Fish Hatchery in New Durham, NH. When my nowgrown kids were little, a friend took us to the fish hatchery. At the time I was

doubtful that my son and daughter, then in elementary school, would find much of interest at the hatchery, but I could not have been more wrong in that assumption.

The Powder Mill Fish Hatchery is a fascinating, sprawling place with lots of long, narrow water filled breeding tanks where teeny fish become fullgrown specimens, soon to be released into the many rivers of the state.

My kids are grown up now, but I got thinking about the fun we had at the New Durham hatchery and on a rather windy, chilly but very sunny and bright Saturday morning in June, I headed on Route 11 from Laconia to Alton Bay, determined to revisit the hatchery.

The town was bustling with its annual town-wide yard sale, but I resisted the temptation to stop and browse the many sales. “The fish await,” I told myself nobly as I continued through the Main Street of Alton. At the Alton Traffic Circle, I took a left onto New Durha Road (there’s a McDonald’s at the start of the road and you can’t miss the turn).

I love this old-fashioned road with its many pastures, farms and step-backin-time feeling. I drove into the village area and decided to stop at the New Durham Library. That may seem like an odd place to visit since I am not a resident of the town and cannot take books out of the library. However, if you want to know about a town, go talk

to the librarian. Because of the nature of their jobs, they know a lot about the town, such as the history, any neat places to visit and anything of note.

New Durham’s library is modest in size, but it is a bright, cheerful place.

The librarian on duty greeted me and when I explained I was visiting, and I love local history, she directed me to a cozy nook at the back of the room past the new fiction books and the shelves of CDs and talking books, where I could browse all sorts of historical magazines, pamphlets and books.

I can imagine returning on a cold late-fall day, when I have lots of time and not much else to do than sit and read books on local history. It is a cozy place, and the books are very tempting.

(After all, who wouldn’t want to read about the marriages of town residents in the 1800s or learn where all the old cemeteries are located, among other historical information)?

Before heading to the Fish Hatchery, I decided to visit the New Durham Meetinghouse on Old Bay Road. It isn’t all that far from the library area, and quite a pretty drive in the summertime.

The Meetinghouse was closed on this particular Saturday, but it didn’t really matter. I parked in front of the old building and studied the simple, clean architectural lines of the structure, imagining the many men, women and children who attended meetings, socials and church services at this place long ago. The building is pure New England architecture at its finest – no gingerbread trim or fancy windows or pathways to clutter up the simplicity of the place.

Noticing a little sign on the corner of the building, I bent down to read the plaque that stated: “The New Durham Meeting House & Stone Pound were entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 by the United States Department of the Interior. Built by early settlers in 1772 the Meeting House combined town offices and a house of worship. It is located on a six-acre lot set aside for public use that includes an animal pound (1809), the oldest town cemetery and the militia • Day Tripping Continued on page 9

“Wow,” I said to myself as I stood by the building, gazing at the tall trees and an old stonewall. “What an impressive history!” It was very quiet at the spot and I wouldn’t have been a bit surprised to see a woman in long calico dress and apron and bonnet open the Meetinghouse door and call her brood of children in to a service or community supper. History hangs heavy in the air at the spot, but not in a spooky way. Rather, it is a peaceful, welcoming place and I would like to return when someone is able to give me a tour of the building’s interior.

I planned to drive back to the Fish Hatchery, but as I made my way out of the parking area, I noticed yet another sign and a long granite bench set back among the trees. A rust-red colored sign with white type and arrows told visitors this was the Meetinghouse Park Trails area. Further information noted it was also a Trail to Pauper’s Cemetery, with some trails easy to walk and others with hilly walking terrain.

“Hmmm…” I mused. “I just have to stop and take a look!” I pulled beside the sign and walked to the granite bench. There was a newer kiosk/sign with information about the trail, which was a project of New Durham school students. They undertook the work to clear the land, map and measure it out.

Later, local, energetic Boy Scouts stepped in and continued to make the project a reality. I did not have the time to walk the trails, although I later read online that the old gravesite is near the

path and the walk is not a strenuous one. It would certainly be a nice little walk in the fall, when the foliage is at its most colorful.

Back on Old Bay Road, I drove to the center of New Durham and soon saw the right-hand turn to Merrymeeting Road and the Powder Mill Fish Hatchery.

The road is very scenic, and after a few miles I came upon a wooden sign, stained a dark brown, with letters carved into the surface and painted yellow. “Powder Mill Hatchery” the sign read. Further wording on the sign stated it was property of the New Hampshire Fish & Game Department, with visitors welcome from 8 am to 3:45 pm.

Signs indicated where visitors could park. Not far away, the long outdoor pools stretched on and on, with raised areas where spectators could stand to get a better look. According to signage, the 1940s offered a time of huge expansion for fish hatcheries and it was in 1946 that construction of the Powder Mill Hatchery commenced. (Perhaps, I said to myself, this would explain why my parents so embraced family trips to NH fish hatcheries; they would have been a young married couple in the 1940s when these free-admission hatcheries were springing up.)

I read on a sign that the fish kept at the site are fertilized in tray incubators, which are stacked like drawers of a dresser. There are eight trays per stack and water flows from one tray to another. The changing supply of water provides oxygen to the eggs until they hatch. Once the fish hatch, they are

transferred to tanks and raceways in the hatchery building, where they remain until springtime. Once warmer weather arrives, the fish are moved outside to live until they grow to stocking size.

I could write reams about the life of the fish, what kind are grown at the New Durham location and on and on, but that would take away all the educational fun for those yet to visit.

Suffice to say, fish hatched here include landlocked Atlantic salmon, brook rainbow and brown trout…and perhaps others.

Following the fun little white wooden signs, I made my way over a grassy area to the bottom of a slope.

Here, there is a fish feeding machine – insert a quarter and turn the knob for a handful of fish food. Or sit at the picnic table and enjoy an outdoor lunch surrounded by nature’s beauty.

I saw a sign that read “Nature path/more fish” and a mysterious old stonewall that appeared to have once been some sort of waterway. (Because I am making a slow recovery from a knee injury, I decided it best to not strike off on the nature path to explore, although I was very tempted!) A friend later informed me that indeed this area was once the site of a powder mill factory and the stonewall formed part of a waterway. An accident at the powder mill caused a large explosion many years ago. (The explosion was so loud it could be heard for miles.)

The hatchery has rest rooms and admission to the area is free and employees on site can answer questions. As I drove back down the road, I saw another parking area and yet

more hatchery property, pools and, of course, a fish feeding machine. I found feeding the fish brought out the kid in me, and I kept stuffing quarters in the machine and scooping up the fish food to toss into the pool. (The sign told me one of the pools had “Show Fish”.)

There was a handy bench near the Show Fish pool and it was fun to toss fish food pellets into the water and watch to see how many large, beautiful fish would swarm in for a snack. Now and then, a particularly athletic fish would jump to the surface of the water, making a big splash as it twisted and dove back under.

The area is truly beautiful and peaceful. On this unseasonably windy and cool spring day, the sun shone down on the greenery and flowers and fields. It reminded me of a scene from the 1800s when life moved at a slower, quieter pace.

So too, one must visit the fish hatchery to understand its allure. You won’t find lively entertainment or loud music at the fish hatchery. You will, however, learn and see a great deal… and you will be outdoors, and closer to some of the wilderness world’s most graceful creatures – the fish that begin their lives at the hatchery.

The Powder Mill Fish Hatchery is located at 288 Merrymeeting Road in New Durham. Admission is free, but bring a good supply of quarters so you can feed the fish. Call 603-859-2041 for further information or visit www. wildlife.state.nh.us.

Castle in the Clouds offers events for everyone Spring rains mean stunning waterfalls, and the ones at historic Castle in the Clouds estate property are at their best right now. Located high in the Ossipee Mountains off Route 171 in Moultonborough, the Castle also offers an exciting lineup of programs in June.

A dog-walking group is starting this summer, meeting every Wednesday at 8 am by Shannon Pond, and led by volunteer guides and their canine friends. The group will decide whether to do a leisurely stroll, a romp in the fields, or a hike into the hills.

“Finding Place on Paper: Contemporary Printmakers and Poets Explore the Lakes Region and White Mountains” opens in the Carriage House Gallery on Friday, June 16 with a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. The reception is free to Castle members and $10 for nonmembers. All the prints are for sale with proceeds to benefit the 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

Telling Stories - Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery The first exhibit of the summer season kicks off on June 15 at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery in Center Sandwich. The exhibit will feature artist Wendy Ketchum’s newest series of prints, “Telling Stories,” taking the viewer on a journey back in time before the age of literacy.

The work explores the use of symbols, images and carvings made by ancient civilizations to tell the stories of migrations, hunting, gathering, agriculture, celestial observations and religious rituals. Intrigued by the work of the ancients, Ketchum has created a series of prints using their vocabulary.

She succeeds in continuing the stories through the use of earthy and watery colors, and ancient forms and figures in a long scroll-like format. A reception to meet the artist will begin at 5 pm.

Wendy will give a talk on the series at 6 pm.

Ketchum became involved in her subject when researching her Scandinavian ancestry.

While researching Swedish history, she was drawn immediately to the fascinating images that were carved into rock faces during the Bronze Age. These carvings tell stories about prehistoric religion and the human activities that

were taking place at that time. The rock carvings led to early mapmaking that included “imagined images of unknown lands and monsters.” Women recorded their interpretations of stories in woven tapestries and eventually Medieval scribes began to combine text and pictures in illuminated manuscripts.

Ketchum was inspired to recreate some of the same narrative styles using images from the rock carvings, early Swedish textiles, ancient maps and illuminated manuscripts. The prints are created from woodcuts, which seemed the perfect method to mimic

North East Motor Sports Museum Opens June 12 Story by Barbara Neville Wilson Photos courtesy North East Motor Museum I relish the fresh asphalt underfoot when I shut the door to my car and admire the landscaping as I walk in the open door. There’s an air of expectation in everything from the bright colors of the street side sign and the sharp-edged engraved bricks half-filling the wall to my right, to the Orange Glo wood cleaner and Hagerty Silver Polish sitting casually next to a four-ft. tall trophy. I step tentatively onto the main floor.

The day is May 31 - T minus 13 for the North East Motor Sports Museum on the New Hampshire Motor Speedway grounds. The hum of low voices leads me to a conference room where a handful of men are talking earnestly. I say I’m hoping for a sneak peek for an article I’m writing, and it takes a few seconds for my presence to register.

Then a silver-haired gentleman rises. “I guess I’m the one who can help you,” he says.

Hearing that the story will appear in The Laker in time for Motorcycle Week, he leads me to the north end of the museum’s 10,000 square feet. Wall height photomurals loom over motorcycles stacked two high.

He points proudly to a red bike emblazoned with “BSA” and the number 58 and directs me to look carefully at the photo above. “Jody Nicholas wins…” says the caption.

And there’s the same motorcycle heeled tightly in a curve with the flagger poised to mark the victory.

I read the placard, “…The race was not without its drama as Jody crashed his bike at the start of the last lap while leading the race.

The second place rider…passed the fallen Nicholas and was on his way to win when Jody picked up his bike and restarted the race. Jody was able to catch…and pass for the win in the last turn.” It’s a brilliant photo and it is amazing to see it right beside the actual bike. “How’d you do it?” I ask.

It was quite a coup to put the two together, he admits. “The key is you have to get the right guy,” he says.

And for motorcycles, Bob Coy was the right guy. Indispensable to the birth and growth of vintage motorcycle racing in North America, Bob not only founded and remains president of the United States Classic Racing Association, he was one of the first to rouse interest in vintage road races and revived the original “Laconia” track in nearby Gilford, NH. Bob personally owns at least 200 racing motorcycles, so was an obvious choice for mounting the motorcycle display. The results are stunning.

Next to Jody Nicholas’ bike are a larger than life photo of Gina

Bovaird and her bike, and below it, Ron and Bryan Caron’s 1984 factory built Honda that registered the American Honda’s first mile win in the 1984 Duquoin Illinois Mile. My guide points out a repaired leather jacket placed next to the machine. “He rode the bike on ice,” he says, and the tires were spiked for traction. “He laid the bike down,” and this is where the other guys’ spikes ran right over him, he gestures.

The informational cards are conversational and full of little tidbits that make me feel I’m sitting with friends, hearing their favorite stories. Here’s another red machine, notably bottom heavy with an engine so big, the foot pegs are mounted behind it. It’s Eddie “The Savage” Sarno’s motorcycle that he built around its dual carb 401 cubicin. Buick “nailhead” engine. Once he finished the bike, race authorities had to rein in its power; “…he was only allowed to make single passes, and only for exhibition, not in competition. He developed a pushoff starting system that resulted in the huge slick spinning and smoking the entire quarter mile…. smoking the tire, Ed managed a

best ET of 10.38 seconds at 141.53 mph.” When he was dying, Ed made everyone promise that it would never be ridden again. Riders’ loss? The North East Motor Sports Museum visitors’ gain.

By this time, it’s obvious that displays at the North East Motor Sports Museum are put together by people that really know and love the motorsports. We walk south, past the only snowmobile on display (winner of New Hampshire Motor Speedway’s one and only snowmobile track race), past Bill Binnie’s “Lola,” the LeMans class winner, and people collating, polishing, and arranging. “Early last week, we weren’t even here,” my guide says and then tells me, unbelievably, volunteers run the museum.

“No one gets paid,” he says.

“The museum is put together and run entirely by volunteers in love with the sport.” There are 29 board members, all “who work,” and “lots of volunteers that work.”

The displays have been donated or are on long-term loan from racers, collectors and fans from all over the

Classic Lake Home

As daybreak glistens across Lake Winnipesaukee, this classic lake home is bathed in sunlight. Located at the tip of Buzzell Cove and just steps from the 420' of waterfront, the expansive lake views surround this home. With views of the Castle in the Clouds, Bald Peak and Moultonborough Bay across to Melvin Village, this 3 bedroom home sits perfectly on its waterfront point. Privacy is maximized by not only the lake frontage but also the neighboring wooded lots of Camp Tecumseh. Remodeled in 1984 from an existing camp, this home maintains a NH appeal with pine paneling, wrought iron hardware, and "Z" doors. A large living room area is wonderful for enjoying the wood stove's warmth on those chilly NH nights. Updates include granite counters, A/C, generator, irrigation system, and a U-shaped, redwood dock. In addition, a guest apartment is situated above the two-car garage. Choose to relax on the beach, the deck, the porch or the lawn; each with amazing views. The seasons come to life around this home with Autumn's blaze of color, Winter's blanket of white, and Spring and Summer's bounty of serenity and activity.

Loved by one family for over 30 years, this idyllic property is ready to be passed down to its new owners to create even more Lakes Region memories.

This is a rare opportunity on the Big Lake!

Offered for $1,595,000.

At the south end of the building, a black-capped gentleman wields a

winner in 1969, 1970, 1971, and 1974. The Museum obtained the car, he says, and he and project partner Rick Eastman asked to put together the exhibit. Together they have created a meticulously documented display of Ollie’s career: photos of winning moments complemented by the actual trophy, and short explanations of race highlights.

A remarkably lifelike mannequin sports Ollie’s uniform, helmet and trademark sunglasses.

Wes emulated Ollie from a young age and cultivated a friendship that stretched into the race car driver’s final years at the Veterans’ Hospital in Manchester. He took photos and became a keeper of the driver’s history.

Our whole conversation revolves around the driver’s feats, his traits “he never threw anything out”- and the honor Wes feels in being able to bring Ollie’s accomplishments to the attention of new generations.

Nothing is said about Wes’ own accomplishments as a collector and purveyor of Classic Toys or his own classic car collection. (I Google that later.)

Similarly, my guide, Dick Berggren, never mentions his own history as a race car driver and founder and editor of pivotal racing magazines. He doesn’t mention his Ph.D in Psychology or his career as an in-demand ESPN sports announcer. Heck, he doesn’t

even mention his appearance in the movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby!

Instead, he’s just a guy happy to help others fall in love. In a rare turn when he was interviewed, he told Car and Driver in 2012, “My father took me to a stock-car race when I was eight. It was love at first sight. It was like those stories where a guy meets a girl and knows immediately that they are destined to become a couple and spend the rest of their lives together…”

I’m reluctant to leave. One fascinating exhibit has led me to another to another, yet I’ve hardly seen half of them in the hour I’ve spent. At each display, story trumps detail so much, I forget I’m in a “museum.” The story cards immerse me in living, breathing memories.

The stories are so well told I feel a little jealous. These are magnificent adventures, and I missed them!

Thanks to the North East Motor Sports Museum, though, I can live the excitement vicariously.

Ladies and gentlemen: start your engines.

The North East Motor Sports Museum is located at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Route 106 in Loudon. It opens to the public June 12 with a Grand Opening slated for Race Weekend on July 15. Visit www.nemsmuseum. com for more information.

Waterford, Ireland to Gilford, NH – The Knotted Chords Will Perform at Patrick’s while also honoring the traditions of Irish music.

Together, the sisters perform an interesting mix of covers and originals ranging from traditional Irish to pop, folk and some old classics. They will

be appearing at Patrick’s Pub in Gilford for a special performance on Sunday, June 18 at 6 pm.

For more information, visit www. facebook.com/theknottedchords or www.patrickspub.com.

#LakeLife SUMMER HEADQUARTERS! The Knotted Chords are an Irish folk acoustic duo, consisting of sisters Margaret and Ailíse O’Neill from Co. Waterford, Ireland. The sisters were discovered at a pub in Waterford, Ireland by the Patrick’s/Penny Pitou Ireland contingent last March and were invited to visit and play at Patrick’s during a scheduled trip to the United States.

Margaret has been singing and playing from an early age, and her interest in energetic, high spirited songs

comes out in her lively performances.

She learned a lot of her bodhran and guitar skills from regularly attending traditional sessions with her Dad. She is currently working on original material and will often perform original songs in the band.

Ailíse picked up her banjo and mandolin skills from her father, teaching her tunes passed on from his father. She will often fuse traditional Irish tunes into current pop songs to create a unique take on a song

Join Paws to Read at the Library Maddy, the Golden Retriever reading buddy, is coming back to Wolfeboro Public Library on June 21.

“Paws to Read” is a national program that allows children to read aloud to a therapy animal (in this case, Maddy, the dog) in order to improve reading and communication skills. Children read individually to trained therapy pets and their handlers in a quiet spot in the library where they can feel comfortable, confident, and not subject to correction or criticism.

Recent studies performed by research teams at some leading universities reveal that children who read aloud to therapy animals on a regular basis exhibit vast improvement in their reading skills. Animals provide a safe, non-judgmental presence for struggling readers. Sharing books with quiet canine cheerleaders helps children with a host of skills, including sustaining concentration and focus,

improving attitudes toward school, increasing reading comprehension and fluency, expanding their use of vocabulary and language while at the same time boosting confidence and pride. Additionally, it is a fun activity.

Some children are good readers, but would like to practice their readingaloud skills, improving expressiveness.

They also could benefit from and enjoy the sessions.

The library is fortunate to be able to host Maddy, a Golden Retriever with fantastic listening skills, and her handler, Carol. They will be at the library on Wednesday, June 21 from 3 to 5 pm. Be sure to call the library at 603-569-2428 to secure one of the eight, 15-minute slots.

The Wolfeboro Public Library program is free and open to the public; the library is located on South Main Street in Wolfeboro.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Kicks Off StoryWalk™ with Festivities Interactive storytelling path opens for the summer with a celebration Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness announces that StoryWalk™ will open on Friday, June 30. StoryWalk™ is presented by the Science Center, in partnership with the Holderness Library and Holderness Recreation Department, and sponsored by Meredith Village Savings Bank.

StoryWalk™ is an interactive storybook, designed for adults and children to follow a short path outdoors while reading a story. This year’s StoryWalk™ features Beau Beaver Goes to Town by Frances Bloxam. In this tale, when a beaver family’s lodge becomes overcrowded, it’s time for the young beavers to live on their own. While Beau Beaver’s siblings settle easily at a brook and a pond, Beau can’t find a place to call home. He at last finds a ditch and sets to work on his beaver lodge. To his surprise, he causes a small crisis, since his building site turns out to be in the middle of town!

Families are invited to attend the opening celebration on June 30 from 10 to 11:30 am. The opening day celebration will include light refreshments and hands-on activities for children. There is no charge for the program and no reservations are required.

StoryWalk™ is open daily from Friday, June 30 through Monday, September 4. There is no admission to enjoy StoryWalk™ and no registration required. StoryWalk™ is located around the Holderness Town Gazebo, situated behind the Holderness Town Post Office at Curry Place. Parking for StoryWalk™ is available at Curry Place. For more information, visit www.nhnature.org.

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

Sandwich Happenings

By Diane Cook Johnson 5 Days of Sandwich Camp 2017 The Sandwich Conservation Commission will be sponsoring the Five-Days of Sandwich day camp for the children and grandchildren (ages 7 to 14), of Sandwich property owners.

Three separate one-week camp sessions, Monday through Friday, are scheduled for the first three weeks of July, beginning on July 3. Campers will learn about the natural history of Sandwich and its flora and fauna, trail craft, leaveno-trace ethics, and the sustainable use of local resources while exploring the nooks and crannies of the town.

During the Five-Days program,

campers will hike and swim daily, depending on the weather conditions.

Five-Day Weaving Workshop at Sandwich Home Industries The summer workshop series at Sandwich Home Industries League of New Hampshire Craftsmen begins in June with a Five-Day Weaving Workshop taught by Sara Goodman (who returns as instructor for a fourth year). The workshop, entitled Five-Day Summer Weaving Intensive - 5 Warps in 5 Days will be held June 12 to 16 from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm at the shop in Center Sandwich NH. The workshop is for both beginners, and experienced weavers. Sara will work individually with students at their own level. The workshop will cover warping the loom, reading pattern drafts, weaving structures and the finishing of handwoven cloth.

Sara Goodman is a textile artist whose work has been featured in Handwoven, Shuttle and Spindle, and Dyepot magazines, as well as the Surface Design

Journal. She is a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen.

Sara’s award-winning textiles have been shown all over the world, including in an exhibition held at the National Silk Museum in Hangzhou, China in 2014.

June 12, 2017 email sandwichcraftgallery@gmail. com. Sandwich Home Industries League of NH Craftsmen Gallery is located at 32 Main Street in Center Sandwich, NH. Set Designed by Town Off the Dock Players is at it again!

The group was so thrilled by the reception of their first play, Love Letters; they are mounting another one in mid August. The little theatre company is a group of Sandwich locals and they could use some help with a few things in their plays.

The Set: the next play is Bakersfield Mist, and it takes place inside a trailer home, owned by a scavenger/junk collector, who proudly says, “I have decorated my entire home with throw away stuff.”

The Players need your throwaway stuff, including (but not limited to!) small kitchen cabinets, a small sink, a mini fridge, toaster oven or little stove (nothing needs to work), outrageous loud or colorful furniture, tchotchkes, beer bottle wind chimes, paintings of clowns and other ‘tacky’ (to some) things.

Before you gift these ‘gems’ to them, a place to store it all (from now ’til August 15) is needed. If you live in Sandwich (near Town Hall, where the show will be performed) and you have some room to spare to store their ‘set’ as it accumulates.... the Players would be thrilled.

Once a location for storing set/props is determined, the public may begin to donate items. And, as the show nears, volunteers to help set up, run lights, take tickets, break down after the show, etc., is needed. Watch for details in the weeks to come.

Sandwich Home Industries League of NH Craftsmen Gallery This year is one of transition for the “Home Industries,” as locals call the shop. The shop/townspeople/visitors bid

goodbye to gallery manager, Julie Deak, who has provided dedicated expertise for nine years. The incoming manager will be Martha Nichols. The Industries board of directors and staff has been busy sprucing up the shop with a fresh look, painting inside and out, and making plans for a summer of sharing the historical resource in the community.

Explosive New Durham

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Located near the edge of the Lakes Region, New Durham is a small town between Alton and Rochester. The area is quiet; drive through the village on any day and it appears as bucolic as the days of its beginning. However, New Durham has had its share of interesting times and even holds the distinction of being the birthplace of NH’s first female lawyer who was a major player in the women’s right to vote.

Originally called Cocheco Township, the land was settled by a group of seacoast area settlers who asked Mason Grant proprietors for acreage; in 1750 the land was mapped and auctioned off. Perhaps those early settlers did not inspect the land very carefully, because

it was determined to be a rocky landscape and not so good for farming.

According to The History of New Durham by Ellen Cloutman Jennings, the town was settled in 1748 when Captain Jonathan Chesley and Ebenezer Smith drew up a document staking their claim. Soon, the land was divided into grants, with a lot reserved for the “first minister of the Gospel”.

Nearby, land was set aside for a church and meetinghouse, a school and cemetery. The town was incorporated in 1762.

Although seacoast men took many lots, few of these landowners settled in New Durham permanently. It was a remote area at the time and it was also dangerous, due to unrest between the newcomers and the native peoples who

had inhabited the land for generations.

While the land was not rich for farming, it was good for timber, and soon as many as five saw mills and other types of mills sprang up. A gunpowder factory also was created, called the Eureka Powder Works. (The powder factory had a large explosion in the 1860s and several workers perished in the accident.)

The first town meeting held in New Durham was in the early months of 1763. On the agenda of one early town meeting were how stray women, men and families with no housing or money could be helped “with a minimum of charity.”

The early years were not easy for the less fortunate, and early records show that in 1791 “One Prudence R., belonging to the town of Rochester is now in this town...constable was commanded to warn the said Prudence to depart forthwith, and if she refuses, you are to carry her out and leave her in Rochester.”

What the luckless Prudence may have done to deserve banishment is unclear. Along with others, she was asked to leave New Durham. A guess would be that these folks might have had no means of support.

The early town selectmen dealt with many social problems and were entrusted with the task of “bounding out” young men and women. (Bounding out meaning being an indentured servant.)

Local farmers often took on a teen to work in the fields or to learn a trade from the head of the house.

One entry of a town problem reads

like an excerpt from a novel, “at the request of the selectmen of New Durham, Esther P. of said New Durham in said county, a single woman and spinster, was brought before me, Avery Hall, Esq., one of the justices of peace for the County, to be examined upon oath, touching the father of the child with which she was supposed to be pregnant, that measures might be taken to save the town from charge by her, and that the said Esther did then utterly refuse to father the child upon any man by oath.”

Clearly, the unfortunate Esther would not name the man who had fathered her child. She may have been a likely candidate for banishment in 1791.

By the late 1700s, New Durham attracted more families who put down permanent roots in the remote village.

One such man, Peter Drowne, original birthplace unknown, served as town clerk in New Durham from 1780 to 1788. He also was a selectman and a lot layer for the town. It is unknown from early town records if he was married or had a family. In 1784, it was recorded that his only possessions were a horse and 230 acres of wild land.

When Drowne met Elisha Thomas, also of New Durham, in a town tavern in the winter of 1788, the outcome was not a pleasant one. Murder, in fact, transpired.

Thomas was married, with a large family. He served his town as tax collector and had fought in the Revolu•Yesteryear Continued on page 31

The Wright Museum of World War II Announces a New Interactive Exhibit: A Wartime Log: The Prisoner of War Journal of S/Sgt. Walter E. Bursiel The Wright Museum of World War II in Wolfeboro has a new interactive exhibit, A Wartime Log: The Prisoner of War Journal of S/Sgt. Walter E. Bursiel. The exhibit is located in the Military Gallery, on the touch screen.

Visitors can virtually page through Bursiel’s journal to read his poetry and comments about life in the POW camp, and to view his drawings.

“A Wartime Log,” which is part of the Wright Museum’s ongoing mission to engage visitors with interactive experiences, will be on the touch screen from May 1 through •Yesteryear Continued from page 30 tionary War. On a cold February night in 1788, a group of war veterans were drinking and socializing in a local tavern. War stories, much embellished by drink, were told. Soon, an argument broke out. Elisha Thomas flew into a rage and started to kick one taverngoer. Peter Drowne stepped in to stop the fight and took Thomas to one side to calm him down. Still in a rage, Thomas drew a knife and stabbed Drowne, who died of his wounds a few hours later.

Thomas was taken to a jail in nearby Dover. His wife, when hearing the distressing news, hastened to Dover, taking the youngest of her six children to neighbors.

Luck was against Mrs. Thomas: Her horse ran away on the return trip from

October 31.

Bursiel enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces on June 16, 1943, when he was 19. He served as a ball turret gunner on a B-17 bomber. In 1944, Bursiel’s plane was shot down over the Netherlands. He and the rest of the crew were captured and held as prisoners of war in Germany.

Bursiel held a number of jobs after the war, and also was the caretaker of the Barret Mansion in New Ip-

swich, New Hampshire, from the mid-1950s to 1979. Bursiel passed away in 1997 at the age of 73, and is buried in New Ipswich.

The Wright Museum would like to thank Bursiel’s daughter-in-law, Sue Bursiel, for donating the journal and also for providing additional information for the interactive exhibit.

The Wright Museum of World War II is open to the public for the

2017 season daily through October 31.

Museum hours are Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday from noon to 4 pm. The Museum is a not-forprofit educational institution that focuses on the American home front as well as on the war front during World War II. The museum is located at 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro, NH, on Route 28.

Dover at which time Mrs. Thomas fell off the horse and broke three ribs. When she finally returned to New Durham, she found her house had burned to the ground and that her five children had perished in the fire.

Thomas was tried and found guilty, to be the first man hanged in New Hampshire. Oddly enough, an old tale says that Elisha Thomas was chosen as Pound Keeper 11 years later, and soon after it was recorded that he signed a receipt for damages paid by the town to his property when a new road ran through his land! The later mentions of Thomas are baffling and unexplained.

While drinking plagued some in New Durham, ministers of the gospel tried to offer a religious cure. In 1778, citizens of the town heard a minister preaching at another church and were so impressed, they invited him to

come to New Durham and minister to them. The man was Benjamin Randall, who founded the first Free Will Baptist Church in America. Unsatisfied with standard religious teaching, Randall traveled all over New England, preaching his personal gospel beliefs.

Although Randall preached regularly in New Durham, he never stopped his travels around New England, offering his faith to listeners. Indeed, he logged in 2,000 miles of travel in 1805, although he was in poor health.

New Durham also was the hometown and birthplace of the first woman to be certified to try cases in front of the United States Supreme Court.

Marilla Ricker was born in 1840 in New Durham. This was a time when women - especially in rural New England - held no positions of power. At the most, a woman who wanted a job

could choose between domestic service and teaching. But Marilla was unique.

Raised to think for herself, Marilla enrolled at Colby Academy in New London, NH. Later, she married a prosperous seacoast-area farmer, John Ricker, who died in the late 1860s leaving Marilla a rich widow. She moved to Washington, DC where she studied law and was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court. She practiced law in the city for many years (often working for free) and was known as the “prisoner’s friend” due to her many visits to consult and comfort clients who were bound in prison.

Marilla became NH’s first female lawyer in 1890 (although as a woman she was denied the right to vote). She fought tirelessly for women’s rights and voted for the first time shortly before her death in 1920.

The Joys of Summer Camp

By Barbara Neville Wilson My brother-in-law yawns and stretches contentedly at the breakfast table. “There’s nothing like sleeping through reveille in the morning,” he confides. My family has lived within earshot of the bugles of William Lawrence Camp for decades. We know summer has really arrived when we wake to reveille and mark summer evenings by taps. We smile when we hear the muted voice of program director “Goose” over the loudspeaker, and ears perk up when we hear the drumming sound of camper feet running a 4-mile course in pursuit of the coveted “Bill Larry” patch.

Since 1914, boys from New Hampshire, New England and around the world have made the annual pilgrimage to William Lawrence Camp. There, they develop outdoor skills, build character, grow friendships and— let’s be honest—have a rip-roaring good time that sustains them through long winters, endless school years, working lives, and sunset years.

Like loyal campers everywhere, once a William Lawrence kid, always a William Lawrence kid, and always, his camp is better than any other camp in the world.

Summer camps are found all over the United States, and in a culture of two-parent careers, they are sometimes seen as a good summer alternative to daycare. Always, though, there has been a nobler purpose, an attempt to make camp lessons indelible and informing to the “civilized” life required all the other weeks of the year.

This summer, the Museum of the White Mountains, in Plymouth, has mounted homage to the summer camp. Recounting “The White Mountains Roots of an Iconic American Experience,” co-curators Paul Hutchinson, Cynthia Robinson and Marcia Schmidt Blaine take viewers through the philosophy and practice of summer camp, from the beginning to the present-day fulsome family tree. With photos and pennants, camp uniforms, diaries

Photo Courtesy Camp Hale and souvenirs, we live the stories and are drawn inevitably back into our own camp experiences through audio and video and the chance to write our name into the bunk wall before leaving the exhibit.

Although now ubiquitous, did you know summer camps were born in the Lakes Region in 1880?

And like so many iconic New Hampshire experiences, the birth was made possible by the arrival of the railroad?

“In the summer of 1880, Ernest Balch and a few friends set up camp on the shore of Squam Lake…A recent dropout of Dartmouth, Balch paddled the lake, admired the mountain views, cooked over an open fire, slept in a roughhewn shelter, and discovered his life’s purpose. What he found was an island and an idea that would transform American Childhood,” writes Paul Hutchinson in the exhibit catalog.

The extension of the railroad to New Hampshire Lakes and White Mountains region in the mid-1850s had led to the great popularity of an extended summer vacation by America’s monied classes. Grand luxurious hotels sprang up in rural towns. They boasted natural recreation, fresh, local food, and access to plenty of fresh air, all served in a suitably metropolitan manner. Ladies arrived with trunks full of clothes for the de rigueur morning, afternoon and evening costume changes. Broad verandahs offered suitable shading while guests raised heart rates by rocking vigorously, and gentlemen fished from docks that offered rod holders so their hands would be free to turn

the pages of urban newspapers delivered daily.

Balch was appalled. “The miserable condition of boys belonging to well-to-do families in summer hotels, considered from the point of view of their right development, set me to looking for a substitute,” he wrote. The next year, he opened Chocorua Island on Squam Lake as a summer camp with a natural setting, activities, and schedule still copied in many camps today.

Recognizing in boys his own desire to test himself in nature— later generations used the term “find themselves” Balch and a trusted assistant shaped a camp experience to increase selfreliance, broaden cultural horizons, encourage teamwork, and improve physical health. Timed periods were reserved for team and individual sports, water skills, singing and drama, and worship. Boys slept in tents and rustic cabins, and cooked, served and cleaned up after meals. No matter what privileged existence campers lived the other three seasons, no servants were allowed at Chocorua Island for “With the introduction of servants, you impair the service camp ideal, bring in caste injuring the main conception,” Balch sermonized.

Although Balch’s camp was to survive only eight years, its concept was transferred over the next 136 years to hundreds of camps in New Hampshire and thousands around

the United States. Many, like the Hill Camp School (now Wolfeboro Camp School) in Wolfeboro and the defunct Groton School on Squam, then Newfound Lake, were founded by private schools. Others, like Marist in Effingham and Sentinel in Tuftonboro have been the ongoing projects of religious boards. Soon Scout groups, the YMCA, pacifists, and charities, and groups simply dedicated to getting boys and girls out of the city in the summer set up camps throughout the state.

Some camps are hewn directly from the forest. Many are carved from estates saved from a gradual slide to decrepitude. Applying Balch’s philosophy of self-reliance, the accommodations are rarely luxurious, but where’s the fun in that?

For two to three months of summer, camps are simple places where children are encouraged to play, build new skills, and grow into responsibility. Teamwork and friendships are fostered, often through the high-spirited, goodnatured camaraderie of contests and games. At many camps, seasonlong competition culminates in championships and the bestowal of trophies. The seemingly antithetical goals of summer camp, serious growth and serious fun, are reflected in “Summer Camps” by several commemorative pennants listing year after year of annual winners with ridiculously silly names.

“Summer Camps: The White Mountains Roots of an Iconic American Experience” is open through September 6 at the Museum of the White Mountains at Plymouth State University.

Jane Kelly presents Birds of Prey at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library on Tuesday, June 13 at 6 pm.

Live Birds of Prey at Gilmanton Year-Round Library June 13 A presentation on Birds of Prey with Jane Kelly will take place on June 13 at 6 pm at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library on Rt. 140 in Gilmanton Iron Works. She will bring two birds of prey – one of which is a barn owl.

Jane Kelly from On The Wing is a federal and state licensed rehabilitator, educator and falconer, specializing in raptors. A little over seven years ago, she found 10 dead barred owls along the shoulder of Route 101 between Auburn and Hampton. It was a calling she couldn’t ignore and she decided to get involved, bridging the gap

for wildlife through education and rehabilitation.

Rescuing the raptors is a team effort.

On The Wing is part of an amazing team: Veterinary Emergency and Surgery Hospital, NH Fish and Game, Animal Control Officers, local and state law enforcement and the general public, all make a difference for wildlife.

The program is free and open to the public; the library is located on Route 140 opposite the Gilmanton School in Gilmanton Iron Works. Call 603-3642400.

Take a Fern Discovery Walk with Squam Lakes Association Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on June 16 from 10 am to noon for a morning of discovery and adventure in Chamberlain Reynolds Memorial Forest. Intern Elizabeth Wolf will share information about the biological and cultural history of ferns, the key physical structures and their uses, and their role in the environment. The group will then explore Chamberlain Reynolds and practice identifying common species of ferns within the forest. Participants will be given materials to put in their hiking backpacks to continue guided learning in the future.

Ferns play an active role in a wetland environment and for ecosystem stabilization as a whole, yet most people walk right by expansive clusters that often blanket the forest floor. While ferns have been around in their modern form for over 350 million years, the unique structures of these plants have not changed dramatically in that time.

Come kick off the summer’s first Adventure Ecology program and learn about these ancient plants.

By the end of the walk, participants will be able to identify five fern

species and their defining features, and become more aware of the important role these overlooked plant superstars play in the ecosystem. You will be learning trailside as you walk through

the diverse landscape of Chamberlain Reynolds Memorial Forest and be equipped to continue learning and discovery in the future.

The guided discovery begins at 10 am at Chamberlin Reynolds Memorial Forest’s West Parking Lot on College Road in Center Harbor, NH. For more information, or to sign up for this Adventure Ecology Program, visit the SLA website (www. squamlakes.org) or call 603-968-7336.

The SLA also offers further Adventure Ecology trips throughout the summer.

Every Friday from June 16 through August 18, these free programs are open to the public and cover a variety of nature and conservation related topics.

The Adventure Ecology programs are presented by the Squam Conservation Interns who spend their summers on Squam performing important conservation work in support of the Association’s mission.

This year’s Summer Reading Program focus: ‘Build a Better World’ In New Hampshire, summertime means cookouts, beach days, hikes – and reading. Each year, New Hampshire librarians encourage readers of all ages to include reading as part of their activities, and this year’s summer reading theme, “Build a Better World,” will focus on a wide range of ways to make things a little brighter at home, in our communities and even for the world at large.

While “Build a Better World” might at first seem limited to construction, public librarians from across New Hampshire will broaden the “better

world” concept by offering a wide range of programming that ties in with their collections. Gardening, fitness, nature study, biographies of people who have made positive impacts and – of course – construction and “Do It Yourself” projects are just some of the topics to be explored.

As part of the program, performers from the State Library’s “Kids, Books and the Arts” roster will hold special events at libraries statewide throughout the summer.

Patrons of all ages are invited to discover the books, magazines, movies

and more that are available at their public library and that can help them learn ways to “Build a Better World.”

Many libraries will offer incentives based on the number of books a patron reads during the summer months or on how much time they spend reading.

Participants may choose to read whichever books they want, including those not related to this year’s theme.

The importance of summer reading has been known for more than a century. Students who read at least six books during the summer have been found to maintain or improve their reading skills, while those who do not read during the summer can lose a full

grade level.

The New Hampshire State Library promotes excellence in libraries and library services to all New Hampshire residents, by assisting libraries and the people of New Hampshire with rapid access to library and informational resources through the development and coordination of a statewide library/information system; by meeting the informational needs of New Hampshire’s state, county and municipal governments and its libraries; and by serving as a resource for New Hampshire.

All museums are now open on the NH Heritage Trail, which stretches from Portsmouth to Plymouth and several points north and west. Conceived as a way to connect some of the most culturally significant museums in the Granite State. The Trail features a full lineup of events and programs in 2017 for all ages.

Lake Winnipesaukee Museum In Laconia on July 15, the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum will host “Child Labor in New England,” which will feature Robert Macieski, who will discuss child labor in New England during the early 20th century.

“His lecture will explore the various occupations children worked,” said the museum’s director Alison Rush. “He will help tell this story through the photography of Lewis W Hine.”

This lecture is part of Lake Winnipesaukee Museum’s summer lecture series, which features local historians lecturing on a variety of topics relating to New Hampshire and the Lakes Region history.
