Hiking … Like It’s 1915

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photos courtesy Rebecca Fullerton/AMC It takes courage to hike alone for a week. It takes even greater courage to hike like it’s 1915.

If that sounds like a questionable way to enjoy nature and hiking, for Rebecca Fullerton it is all in a day’s work (or fun, depending upon how you look at it).

Rebecca is an archivist for the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Boston office and she delves into how people – and particularly women – hiked in the past. Because of her work and knowledge of hiking in the 1800s and early 1900s, Rebecca decided to take on a special challenge in July of 2015 and “hike like it was 1915.”

She explains, “I was an art history major in college and I got the job at the AMC library. We have a great library and the archives are wonderful.

I have been there 11 years and my job combines the things I love: hiking and history.”

Although the AMC library is modest in physical size (Rebecca says it is a small, specialty research library), it houses about 25,000 photos. It is the images that make Rebecca’s job a dream come true for someone who likes history and wants to learn more about how people hiked and lived in days gone by.

In 2015, the AMC was celebrating its 100th anniversary and it was this,

combined with seeing lots of old photos of women hiking in the White Mountains long ago, that got Rebecca thinking and wondering what it would be like to hike like it was done 100 years ago.

The true impetus for the hike was a photo that Rebecca loves, of two female hikers that grace the cover of the booklet for the Museum of the White Mountains summer exhibit on women hikers. “I was drawn to the old photo,” Rebecca says. “Those two women were really my muses for the hike I took.” The two women were photographed atop a mountain, circa 1917. Both are dressed in khaki-style pants, shirts and men’s hats. They are clearly outdoorswomen, as able as

any man to hike and camp outdoors.

Rebecca says the photo is from a scrapbook for an annual hike the women took with other friends and is called Walk ’O the Range, AMC Walk and is from the AMC’s collection.

“They crossed the Presidential Range, and that photo was the inspiration for my ‘hike like it was 1915,’” Rebecca explains.

Each July, Rebecca takes a vacation week to hike in the White Mountains, staying at AMC huts along the way.

“The year before, I did a week-long hike to connect with the hut crews. So I was familiar with the trails.”

Rebecca was pondering what it was like for a woman to hike 100 years ago.

With daily access to lots and lots of old

photos of groups camping and hiking in the White Mountains, she studied the clothing, read the journals and looked at camping gear from 1915 and decided she could indeed “hike like it was 100 years ago.”

But how to obtain clothing like women would have worn on a camping/ hiking trip in 1915? And just what was the clothing like back then?

To start, our notion that women would have been wearing long skirts and bustles is incorrect. By 1915, fashions were changing, the bustle was definitely out of style and more daring women were wearing pants or long skirts altered to become loose fitting trousers.

Rebecca knew people wore a lot of woolen clothing in 1915. She says it was a challenge to find clothing that was authentic, and in the end she shopped an Army supply store for pants, which she modified into knee-high knickers.

Her socks were of wool and she found a military-style wool sports jacket on Etsy. “It has pockets all over it and that was in keeping with what I knew women were wearing. I found lots of suggestions from back then about how helpful lots of pockets would be.” She topped the outfit with a boiled wool hat from a thrift store and a modernish button-down silk shirt, which kept her surprisingly cool. For safety’s sake, Rebecca wore her regular hiking boots

but still the overall picture she created was of a woman from another time.

She started her weeklong hike with the idea that each person she met on the trail who might question why she was dressed as she was, would be a teachable moment/opportunity. And indeed, there were plenty of double takes, downright stares and some people were bold or friendly enough to stop and ask Rebecca what she was doing.

It created the chance to explain about her 1915 hike, which led to questions about how people lived and hiked and camped so long ago. Rebecca had her “teachable moments” in plenty.

Also, she got a first-hand lesson in what it is really like to dress and exert oneself as people did long ago. We have all seen old photos of women in long, silk dresses, sleeves covering arms to the wrists, collars of lace and tiny waists the obvious outcome of tight corsets. We wonder, how did women stand all that fabric in the heat of summer? While Rebecca wasn’t dressed as restrictively, the wool outfit was certainly hot.

“I started my hike at the Falling Waters Trailhead at Franconia Notch,” she recalls.

“The first day was hot and humid and sweaty! But when you get onto the summit and there is a breeze, you find you are surprisingly cool and comfortable wearing wool. And it keeps the bugs away too.”

The last day of the week was rainy, but Rebecca stayed dry and warm due to the wool fabric of her clothing. The boiled wool hat was particularly helpful in keeping the rain off Rebecca’s head.

The hike took her over the Presidential Range from Lafayette to Garfield, Gale Head, South Twin, Guyot, Zealand, Mount Webster, Mount Jackson, Pierce, Eisenhower, Franklin, Monroe, and the final day was Mount Madison (she opted to skip the summit of Mount Washington). Rebecca covered about 50 miles and she stayed in AMC huts each night.

During the evenings, she changed into modern day tank top and shorts, which proved a blessed relief from the 1915 hiking attire.

When asked what she learned on the weeklong living history trek, Rebecca says most of all, she realized how easy we have it when we set out to hike today. “Looking over old trail maps, I saw that they were hacking their way

• Hiking Continued on page 5

Page 5

July 11, 2016 • Hiking Continued from page 4 through narrow trails. But some things haven’t changed, such as the bugs and the weather. Out there on the trail, you are still dependent on your own smarts. I hope that people were just as friendly back then as most are today.

The costume made me realize I need to slow down; you should regulate your body temperature when you are hiking.”

Rebecca says there was a lot of information in 1915 for how women should hike; probably because there were many women authors. Women were urged to “feel free to purchase men’s clothing, such as sportswear, and to modify it.” Good advice in a time period where women did not normally march into a clothing store and purchase men’s hiking gear!

The entire hike turned out to be a lesson for Rebecca and also for those she met along the trail. There is something about a living, breathing person dressed as if they stepped out of the past that allows people to approach and ask questions. “Word spread fast on the trail and I became known as ‘that lady who dressed in clothing from 100 years ago!’ ”Rebecca laughs. She says people wanted to know all about what food people ate when hiking and camping long ago and even what boots they wore back then.

For safety’s sake, Rebecca hiked with some modern-day supplies, such as a first aid kit, modern water bottles, granola bars, rain gear, gloves and other necessary items should an

emergency occur. “But when I posed for photos with hikers I met, I made it a point to not have nay modern items in the pictures,” she says.

She laughs again as she says she did not wash her 1915 hiking clothing, but wore the same outfit all week, because that is what hikers would have done in 1915. This leads to questions about how women kept clean and “fresh” back then.

At the end of the week’s hike, Rebecca returned to 2015 and it was a bit of a shock. “It was weird to get into a car and travel at 50 mph,” she says.

Her trek will be recounted at a program on August 3 at 6:30 pm at the Museum of the White Mountains in Plymouth. Those who want to hear about Rebecca’s hike and her step back in time to Hike Like It’s 1915 should plan to attend to learn more. (Call the museum at 535-3210.)

This year, Rebecca will again hike in the White Mountains for a week in July, but not like it is 1915. She says she loves to paint and will spend her week in the mountains doing landscape painting…not so differently than the White Mountain School of Painters did in the 1800s.

It seems Rebecca just can’t escape the chance to walk in the footsteps of those intrepid hikers and artists who came to NH long ago. She might not see herself as courageous, but her sensitivity to the past and her daring to step into the shoes of women who passed this way over 100 years ago allow everyone to travel with her, if only for a moment, back in time.

The Squam Lakes Association to Host Two Summer Boat Building Courses in August There is nothing more satisfying and beautiful than building your own boat. This August, the Squam Lakes Association will be hosting two boatbuilding courses instructed by some of the most talented and renowned boat builders in the state. The first one is by the New Hampshire Boat Museum offering an Adult and Family boat building workshop with the opportunity to build a Canoe or Bevin’s Skiff beginning Monday, August 15 to Wednesday August 24. In this session, adults can work individually or as a team with family and/or children.

Participants can choose between making a one-person canoe or a Bevin’s Skiff.

We also welcome renowned boat builder Bill Thomas of Bill Thomas Woodworking LLC, beginning Saturday August 27 to Friday September 2, as he instructs a weeklong course in building your very own unique canoe that is sure to become a treasured family heirloom. Fox is a decked double paddle canoe, a boat intended for protected waters along the coast, for lakes, and for all of those appealing backwaters and creeks you are always driving by and meaning to explore someday.

In a review featured in Wooden Boats

annual Small Boats issue Mike O’Brien commented on Fox’s handling, “Fox appears to have just the right amount of directional stability. It likes to keep going where we point it, yet it turns easily and predictably. I’m not sure what more to ask for in a small boat.”

These courses will be held at the Squam Lakes Association and will supply all the tools and expertise to help you build your boat. Children, 12 years or older, will be taught to safely use hand and a limited number of small power tools. At the end of the session, a special launching on Squam Lake will be held to celebrate the completion of the craft.

For more information, pricing, or to sign up for this workshop, visit the SLA website www.squamlakes.org, or contact the SLA directly at 968-7336.

Please note that the class size is limited to 12 boats. Additional family or friends are welcome to come in to help with the building of the boat at no additional charge. If the class size is less than four boats (participants) the class will be canceled. If you have signed up for the class and participation is low - you will be notified of the class cancellation and you will be refunded the full amount of the course.

History comes to life on the NH Heritage Trail in 2016 Comprised of 15 museums that stretch from Portsmouth to Plymouth and several points west and north, the NH Heritage Trail provides unique opportunities to experience NH history today.

“We take people from pre-colonial American right up through WWII in New Hampshire,” says Michael Culver, President of The Trail and Executive Director of the Wright Museum of WWII in Wolfeboro. “The Granite State is a pretty fascinating place.”

Milo Pike Presents History of the Pike Family at Laconia Historical Society July 18 Milo Pike will present “The History of the Pike Family and their 19th Century Beginnings” in the asphalt paving business from the 1870s to today at the public meeting of the Laconia Historical & Museum Society on Monday, July 18 at 7 pm in Rotary Hall/Laconia Public Library.

The Industrial Revolution opened up a new world in New England. It offered many jobs to the native-born and to the immigrants later. Many generations of families are well-known today for their role in establishing local businesses and industries, and the Pike family is one such family.

A twenty-one-year old Luther M. Pike, working with three crews of ten men each, twelve teams of horses and rakes, shovels, hand rollers and barrels, began the Pike asphalt paving business. In the late ‘80s, Luther’s son, Milo Lindel Pike began his business, L.M. Pike & son. After serving in the military, Milo’s only son, Randolph Kelly Pike joined the family business.

With more cars, more paved roads were needed and the business expanded.

Randy’s only son, Milo Luther Pike

Randy Pike supervises his crew paving Main Street in Ashland. After graduating from Laconia High School Class of 1948 as a four-letter athlete, and after training many summers during school breaks, Milo Pike joined the family asphalt business and went from manager to owner of Pike Industries Inc. (Courtesy photo)

was awarded as a four-letter athlete when he graduated in the LHS Class of 1948. He joined the business in 1949.

Under Milo’s management, business grew with more plants, equipment and diversity. In the early 1970s, the business was incorporated and the name changed to Pike Industries Inc. By the late 80s, Pike had produced over 1.7 million tons of asphalt, had twenty-five stationary plants, two portable plants and five crushing gravel locations.

Pike sold the business to CRH of Dublin, Ireland in 1988. Currently, over 140 years later, the business produces over 5 million tons of aggregate and employs 1,300 people.

The program is free to the public. The Laconia Historical & Museum Society encourages new membership. For more information about membership or upcoming programs contact the museum at P. O. Box 1126, Laconia, NH 03247, 527-1278, lhmslpl@metrocast. org or www.laconiahistorical.org.

Advice To The Players The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] Advice To The Players (ATTP) presents Shakespeare’s entire canon in a sidesplitting two-hour tour de force performance in Meredith on July 15 to 17, and in Sandwich on July 22 to 24.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] has been performed to the delight of audiences around the globe—and in honor of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death—ATTP is bringing the ever-popular comedy to the Lakes Region; surely good old Billy is rolling with laughter in his grave!

Written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield—the actors and founding members of the Reduced Shakespeare Company who originally performed the piece—Complete Works parodies all of the Bard’s plays in a single marathon performed by three actors. Shakespeare lovers and Stooges fans alike will enjoy this fast-paced, slapstick romp filled with cross-dressing, amusing hand props and comedic insights into Shakespeare’s many plays.

At the helm of this ATTP production is director and funny man John Schnatterly, known for his comedic performances in ATTP’s productions of Much Ado, Two Gents, Midsummer, and Comedy of Errors and for many roles with the Barnstormers Theater. The three actors performing this athletic feat

(L to R): Pam Schatterly, Angela Hope Smith, and Roland DuBois rehearse for The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised], playing July 15-17 and July 22-24.

of theater are ATTP favorites Angela Hope Smith and Pam Schnatterly, joined by ATTP newcomer Roland DuBois.

Smith won the NH Theatre Award for Best Actress in 2013 for her cross-gender portrayal of Cassius in Julius Caesar and has been seen on ATTP’s stages many times prior and since—in comedies and tragedies alike.

Pam Schnatterly has appeared in many summer shows with ATTP at the Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage and this summer, in addition to all the roles she is playing in Complete Works, you can see her in ATTP’s Tempest in August. DuBois, a senior at Plymouth State University studying theater, is making his ATTP debut running the gauntlet in Complete Works in the acting

track more commonly known as ‘all of the ladies.’ Don’t miss this production; in fact you may want to see it twice!

Complete Works opens July 15 at the outdoor amphitheater at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse in Meredith, and will run outdoors

Page 11

at the amphitheater July 15, 16 and 17 at 3 pm. On July 15 and 16, the Winnipesaukee Playhouse is offering a Shakespeare double feature package to see Complete Works outside at 3 pm and enjoy a picnic under the tent and then move inside at 7:30 pm to enjoy the magic of their production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

From July 22-24, Complete Works moves inside and upstairs to the historic Sandwich Town Hall Theater; on Friday, July 22 and Saturday, July 23 the curtain goes up at 7:30 pm, and the final performance will begin at 2 pm on Sunday, July 24.

For tickets and information call 284-7115 or visit www. advicetotheplayers.org—tickets and double feature picnic packages can also be purchased through the Winnipesaukee Playhouse at winnipesaukeeplayhouse.org.

Effects of Winter Climate Change on the Northern Hardwood Forest Lecture at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is offering an Adult Lecture Series called 50 Years of Environmental Change- Looking Back and Looking Ahead. On Wednesday, July 13 at 7 pm the Science Center will welcome Boston University Professor Dr. Pamela Templar for an intriguing lecture on the impacts of winter climate change on hardwood trees.

Principle Investigator on the Climate Change Across Seasons Experiment conducted at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in Thornton, Dr. Templar will explain why scientists

have been removing and heating snow in areas of the forest. Dr. Templar will discuss the experiment’s results, which focus on the degree of impacts of climate change on nutrient uptake and carbon sequestration in the northern hardwood forest.

Dr. Templar’s lecture gives a fresh and relevant perspective on climate change and how it affects the trees in our own backyards. With close-tohome examples used in her discussion older teens, adults, and seniors are sure to find Dr. Templar’s lecture captivating. There is no charge to attend

this lecture; however, reservations are required by calling 968-7194.

The mission of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is to advance understanding of ecology by exploring New Hampshire’s natural world.

Through spectacular live animal exhibits, natural science education programs, an informal public garden, and lake cruises, the Science Center has educated and enlightened visitors since 1966 about the importance of our

natural world. Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is located on Route 113 in Holderness, an easy drive from exit 24 off I-93, and is open daily from May 1 through November 1. The Science Center is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and is the only AZA-accredited institution in all of northern New England. For further information about the Science Center, call 603-968-7194 or visit www.nhnature.org.

Notes From The Arborist Japanese Beetle Description

To Do...

addition

insulate/weatherize

Symptoms & Damage

The adult beetle is a voracious feeder causing skeletonization of leaves. At the grub stage, they eat turf roots, which can cause extensive damage to your lawn.

Prevention & Treatment

Control is best achieved in the larval stage by treating your lawn during the summer or fall to reduce the beetle population for the following year. Adult beetles can be suppressed now with repeated organic or traditional spraying.

Pheromone lures are not recommended – they attract more beetles than they trap.

have formed classic barbershopper quartets, and the quartets alternate segments of the concert with the larger group. Occasionally, other large groups of barbershoppers make guest appearances, and then the combined groups sing together for an astounding wall of song.

This summer’s program featuring the Chordsmen will also include some very fine barbershop singing by several choruses and quartets. Guest performers are as follows: July 13, the Concord Coachmen chorus; July 20, the district champion quartet On Air; on July 27, the Hanover chorus North Country Chordsmen and on August 3, the Nashua chorus Granite Statesmen.

There is nothing like a good old barbershopper’s concert. Those who love barbershopper’s music are in for a treat this summer when the Lakes Region Chordsmen present a series of free concerts on an outdoor stage, weather permitting at the Winnipesaukee Marketplace at 21 Weeks Street, Weirs Beach.

Seating for the old-time music concerts is on bleachers, at tables and on the lawn in a pleasant setting with a view of Weirs Beach boardwalk. Concerts will take place every Wednesday through August 3 at 7:45 pm.

For over 60 years (since 1954), the Lake Region Chordsmen has been singing old-time barbershoppers favorites at Weirs Beach. The group consists of about 20 singers of all ages.

Artistry and Music at the Taylor Community Master Crystal Cutter Pepi Herrmann In 1968, Pepi Herrmann came to the United States with a dream, a vision and a goal to revive the lost art of crystal cutting. Today, with more than 50 years of experience, he’s one of the few Master Crystal Cutters in the country.

Mr. Herrmann’s mastery of the time-honored craft is exquisitely reflected in his traditional designs, but has also found beauty and form in the contemporary field. He’s a tireless and dedicated artisan who personally selects the pieces of crystal to be cut.

Only after each piece is completed and passes Pepi’s final and critical inspection will it be inscribed with the Pepi Herrmann signature – his personal

The New England Vintage Boat Auction – Boats, Cars, Engines, and More Looking to buy a boat, car, motor, or some interesting nautical and camprelated antiques? Make plans to attend the New Hampshire Boat Museum’s New England Vintage Boat Auction on Saturday, July 16. The auction begins at 10 am, but potential bidders are encouraged to come as early as 8 am to preview the items and register to bid.

The auction is held rain or shine under a large tent on the Boat Museum property at 399 Center Street (Route 28/109 North) in Wolfeboro. Among the items up for auction are a wide variety of wooden and fiberglass motorboats, classic and vintage cars, canoes, sailboats, and kayaks.

Interested bidders can preview the boats and auction items, along with their descriptions, online at www. nhbm.org. Potential bidders also can preview the items the day before the auction (Friday, July 15, from noon to 5 pm) or on the morning of the auction (July 16, from 8 to 10 am).

This year’s auction features wooden boats including Chris Crafts, GarWoods, Centurys, Lymans, and Hackers, all of them ready to be put

in the water this summer. Previously owned fiberglass boats to be auctioned include Centurys, a Chris Craft Scorpion, an Elite Craft, and a Master Craft ski boat.

Among the highlights in this year’s auction is a 21-ft. 1966 Lyman Runabout that has been meticulously restored. Among fiberglass boats a highlight is a 20-ft. 1989 Elite Craft in beautiful condition that has only 82 hours on the boat and motor.

The auction also includes a number of new and vintage canoes and new kayaks. Many will be auctioned with no reserve. An array of outboard motors will be offered, too, again with no reserve.

This year, for the first time, vintage and classic cars will be included in the auction. The cars range in date from a 1935 Ford 4-door sedan to a 1979 10th anniversary Pontiac Trans Am, with many more being auctioned.

The auction also will include small objects such as rustic camp furnishings and items with nautical motifs that are perfect for decorating your home or camp. There will be something for

After completing his formal training at the Yankee School of Auctioneering in 1997, he began to organize auctions of his own. For the past nine years, he has served as assistant auctioneer to Ron Bourgeault of Northeast Auctions in Portsmouth, NH and is the principal auctioneer at Landry Auctions, Essex, MA. Peter is known for his clear, congenial auctioning style as well as his consistent tendency to blaze through more than 100 lots in an hour. Auction regulars appreciate his meticulous approach and his ability to

retain bidder numbers and information.

You Can Ski for Miles and Miles…

By Barbara Neville Wilson Photo courtesy www.winniskiathon.com Mention “water ski” and “Winnipesaukee” in the same breath, and most people have the same reaction: “BRRRRRRRR!” For a few intrepid souls, however, not only do water ski, and Winnipesaukee pair well, but the word marathon makes the adventure complete.

July 23 marks the return of the Winnipesaukee Water Skiathon to the Big Lake. If you get down to Lake Winnipesaukee early enough, you can be part of the excitement. Water skiers will gather at Gilford’s Winnipesaukee Yacht Club at 7 am, launch by 7:30 am, barrel across the lake at speeds up to 60 mph, wing around Parker Island, turn back at Tuftonboro Neck and return to the club dock in Gilford in time for breakfast at 8:30 am. The skiers will have covered about 15 miles.

The year 2016 marks the fourth annual re-creation of a late century, pre-gas crisis tradition. Organized by son and father, Gus and Casey Nickerson, it is run to take advantage of calmer morning waters, but skiers and their boat captains still can expect some turbulence. During the inaugural race in 2013, a Black Magnum race boat sank between Diamond Island and Tuftonboro Neck, according to the Laconia Daily Sun. Water skiing was imported from the French Riviera and introduced on Lake Winnipesaukee in the 1950s. The Lakes Region was one of its hubs as

s n w o T e h t d n u o r A

The Edge

it became the nation’s fastest growing recreational sport—and this in an age when wetsuits were rare. Perhaps the popularity was fueled by the pure joy of being part of a growing movement.

Active clubs were found in the Weirs and on Winnisquam, and exhibitions were presented in Alton, the Weirs and Meredith to great enthusiasm. In 1954 the National Championships were even held at Opechee Point in Laconia.

Long distance racing caught on in the 1960s and 70s when modest prices made powerful ski boats attractive to the middle class and gas was shockingly cheap.

Frank Cook was part of the fun back then. In a 2013 interview, he told the Laconia Citizen, ‘’We used to race five weekends a summer on

Lake Winnipesaukee on Saturdays and Lake Winnisquam on Sundays. ‘’ He recalled the first three races of the summer as 32-mile events, followed by a 50 miler and a final 65-mile marathon.

Many racers made their own water skis or got them from Northland Ski Factory in Laconia. Thicker skis helped absorb some of the impact of rough water, particularly in The Broads.

A thread on the “Winnipesaukee Forum” web bulletin board a few years ago brought these memories: “Mowtorman” wrote, “I consider the 70’s the golden age of power boating before the oil embargo. Gas was cheap, speed was a tradition on the lake and plenty of room on the lake for anybody.

The fastest boats were less than 25’ and took daring and skill to drive. The skiers

in the races may have had to go 65 mph for a full hour crossing the broads, not too many people would be up for that today. Fastest I’ve been on a waterski was over 50, and the ski flattens out like on a table top and you have to fight the sensation of being pulled forward out over the ski (no face plants).”

“BroadHopper” responded, “The waterski of choice during the 65 mile marathon were [sic] the maharaja long boards. I am surprised they did not have the Catalina harnesses that you see in today’s marathons. With no helmets and standard vests, if one fall [sic] he/she would have to remember, very quickly to roll into a fetal position, tuck your head into your chest, and roll like a ball. Most of these skiers were teenagers or in the 20’s. I am surprise[d] no one was seriously injured.”

Safety is always a priority in water skiing. In marathoning, safety requires a four-member team of specialized talents: a light, lithe boat with formidable horsepower, a driver capable of reading the water and his vessel’s responses, an athletic skier able to maintain balance across roiling waters and endure the impact of miles and sometimes hours of skiing, and a spotter who is the communication bridge between captain and skier.

The era of summer long marathon race series was ended by the 1970s gas shortage, regulations, and increased lake traffic, but you can catch a glimpse of its glory at this year’s Winnipesaukee Water Skiathon on July 23. For more information, go to wyc-nh.org/wb.

The Year Without A Summer The Ashland Historical Society will present a free program on Reuben Whitten and 1816, The Year Without A Summer, followed by a tour of Whitten’s house and the cemetery where he was buried, at 7 pm on Tuesday, July 19. The program begins at the Whipple House Museum in Ashland, where Reuben Whitten’s story will be told.

Reuben was born and raised in Massachusetts, but lived most of his life in what is now Ashland, on his farm on Highland Street. The catastrophic explosion of a volcano in Indonesia

sent massive amounts of debris into the atmosphere, temporarily changing the weather for large parts of the globe, including New England.

The year 1816 was marked by a series of cold waves throughout the growing season that destroyed crops.

Because the high, south facing slopes of his farm were warmer than other fields in the region, Whitten was able to raise 40 bushels of wheat, which he shared with his less fortunate neighbors, helping them to get through a very difficult time. On his death in 1847, the children of the families he helped paid

for his tombstone in the small family graveyard on the farm. In 1911, his grandson erected another monument in the cemetery that told the story of Whitten’s generosity. That monument, one of the few physical reminders of the Year Without A Summer, has helped to make that story well known.

Whitten’s small house was moved down to Main Street in the late 19th century to serve as worker’s housing.

In the late 20th century, it was donated to the Ashland Historical Society, which moved it to the Whipple House Museum property. As the 200th

anniversary of 1816 approached, the Reuben Whitten Committee of the Historical Society set out to preserve the building, which had deteriorated in recent years. The exterior of the building has now been completely renovated, although the interior still remains to be restored. Following the presentation, the audience will visit the Whitten House behind the Whipple House, then drive (car pooling if necessary) to visit the cemetery. The Whipple House Museum is located at 14 Pleasant Street, off Main Street, in Ashland village.

39th Annual Loon Festival at Moultonborough Loon Center The 39th Annual Loon Festival will offer a day of family fun at the Loon Center in Moultonboro on Saturday, July 16 from 10 am to 2 pm.

Admission to the event is free and all are invited to the rain or shine festival.

Try your hand at Pin the Chick on the Loon game or take the Loon Facts quiz and win three throws at the dunk

tank!

“Play Fare” Art Exhibit at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery, Center Sandwich Frances Hamilton and Peter Thibeault will open a joint exhibit titled “Play Fare,” featuring work inspired by years of collecting, recycling, and drawing toys. Hamilton’s dolls and trace drawings are whimsical adventures back to childhood. Thibeault’s constructions, made from toys he has

collected over the years, are precise, clever and loaded with humor.

Several years ago Frances Hamilton created and exhibit of work entitled “All Around the House.” She painted Squam Camps and their views. Though she still paints at Squam, Play Fare is a departure from her nostalgic lake

scenes.

Hamilton writes about her work: “The biggest pleasure for me as an artist is to begin; the first moments of a plunge into water, a jump off a cliff when you give over to the moment and release control.

“Switching media is a way to keep up creative momentum. I often work on multiple projects to keep up the rush of enthusiasm. Making doll figures is a kind of creative vacation, a chance to invent a physical presence. Clay heads and stitched bodies are dressed with cloth scraps from collected quilt squares, mementoes, souvenirs and assorted fetishistic oddments fused to compose a personality: hand dyed wool from Corinth, Greece circa 1969; my father’s madras jacket, 1978; ermine tails bought in Providence, 1966; buttons from a New Hampshire barn; metal devils found at a flea market in the 1980s.

“The Trace Monotypes are basically backwards drawings. My source material is vintage toy books and catalogues that picture imaginative figures each set in their own dramatic space. Dolls, boats and airplanes can be ‘played with’ by enlarging and composing them in new relationships.

This very simple technique is a perfect way to make surprises and experience the urgency of risk.”

Peter Thibeault is a master of design, product design and meticulous creations when it comes to art. He describes his work on view at Patricia

Ladd Carega Gallery this summer: “This area of my work concerns my long time preoccupation with flea markets and junk stores. During college and early thereafter I began scouring these places of discarded ephemera and began to notice certain recurring themes. The broken remnants of toys and games immediately attracted me.

I began to collect these wooden and metal parts, I had nothing specific in mind; it was just the patina, texture and affordability that initially appealed to me.

“After a particularly fruitful summer in 1990, I spread my winnings out on my worktable and I began to organize them according to shape, size and color.

Seeing them laid out in this way led to tiling the parts onto various surfaces of the furniture that I was building. Those seeds planted years ago led to the work you see here today. The formal aspects of the work celebrate the graphic richness of material and the articulation of past handwork; qualities that have been slowly replaced by plastic, bland color and shoddy workmanship.”

The “Play Fare” exhibit will be open through July 30 at The Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery, 69 Maple Street in Center Sandwich. Gallery hours are from 10 am to 5 pm Monday through Saturday and from 12 pm to 5 pm on Sunday. For more information about this exhibit, visit the Gallery online at www.patricialaddcarega.com or call 284-7728.

Newfound - Lovin’ Lake Week Those who live and vacation in the Newfound Lake area are proud that the body of water is among the cleanest in the country. No organization is prouder of that fact than the Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA) with offices in Bristol.

Historically, the NLRA was formed and registered in 1971. Its goal was and is to protect Newfound Lake and its watershed. The NLRA grew over the ensuing years and by 2006, a number of public workshops and educational programs offered much to the community.

The group is there to protect the lake so many love. They do so in a number of ways, one of which is the Second Annual Lake Week, which kicks off on July 23, and runs through July 30.

The event is just one more way the NLRA strives to get the word out about protecting the lake and the land around the water.

A wide array of lake-oriented programs will be offered, such as Grey Rocks Kick Off Day on July 23. The fun starts early — at 6 am — with a sunrise paddle from Grey Rocks Conservation Area with the Newfound Kayak Club.

Kayak demos for the public will be offered at 9:30 and 11 am at Grey Rocks; the day kicks off officially at 9 am with a Family Fishing Clinic, NH Watershed Warriors and Grey Rocks Permaculture Design Reveal.

Lunch by the Newfound Lake Region Association and Bristol Rotary is offered at noon, and a 1:30 pm Around the Lake Sailing Race concludes the day.

On July 24, Hikes in the Newfound Watershed will take place at 10 am at the Hebron Town Forest and at 1 pm at Plymouth Mountain.

More hikes will be offered on Monday, July 25 at 10 am and 1 pm with Discounted EcoTours and also a 10 am Cardigan Mountain hike. At 1 pm there also will be a hike up Little Sugarloaf and Goose Pond.

Tuesday, July 26 offers Meet Us Out on the Lake! with details to come.

(Check the Association’s Facebook page for updates.)

Hikes in the Newfound Watershed on July 27 will take place at 10 am at Bald Knob and Mt. Crosby and at 1 pm at Wade Hill Road (for an easy walk).

tours continue through August at 10 am and 1 pm on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Additional tour dates and times are available by appointment.

Reservations are required with a minimum of 48-hours notice. Tours are subject to cancellation due to weather and reservations are accepted on a first come/first serve basis. You may also reserve a charter for a special group; call for dates and times at 744-8689.

Beyond the Lake Week events, the NLRA is offering programs during the summer weeks ahead. To obtain information about NLRA or to register for programs or for a pontoon boat tour, call 744-8689 or visit www.

Newfoundlake.org.

On Thursday, July 28, there will be discounted 10 am and 1 pm EcoTours and at 6 pm, a presentation will be offered by the Newfound Wildlife Tracking Group at 6 pm at MinotSleeper Library in downtown Bristol.

A working forest site tour with Jon Martin will be offered on July 29 and on Saturday, July 30, stop by the Association’s booth at the Hebron Fair in Hebron village to chat about how to help keep Newfound Lake pristine.

Newfound Lake has a lot to offer those who visit; it gets much of its water from the Fowler and Cockermouth Rivers and its watershed is heavily forested. Part of the work of the NLRA is to ensure that the land around Newfound stays in pristine condition, which in turn will keep that beautiful lake clean and clear.

One of the NLRA’s most entertaining and educational summertime offerings is the Newfound EcoTour program.

Participants get to help with handson water activities, as well as learning historical and ecological information, and having time to just soak in the sights and sounds of beautiful Newfound Lake. Those who take the EcoTour in the NLRA’s pontoon boat will truly experience the beauty of Newfound Lake. The NLRA’s informative tour guides will share facts and myths about the lake, while passengers sit back and enjoy the views of great spots around Newfound Lake.

Tours depart and return from Grey Rocks Conservation Area located off North Shore Rd. in Hebron. The

The Next Chapter of “Happily Ever After” New Hampshire Mushroom Company Spawns Success

By Barbara Neville Wilson Photos courtesy New Hampshire Mushroom Company You know the story. Hardworking, humble, generous Cinderella patiently lives her life, does what’s right and finally, despite the odds, is rewarded with a successful showing at the ball and marriage to the Prince. And they all live happily ever after…

But what exactly does “happily ever after” look like?

In these pages three years ago, writer Thomas P. Caldwell reported on the

Cinderella-like story of Tamworth’s New Hampshire Mushroom Company.

Founded by Eric Milligan just a year before, it read like a magical mushroom tale: Looking to “find himself” after earning a theater degree in college, Eric fell in love with fungus when he worked a short eight-month stint at a mushroom farm. It was backbreaking work with small pay, but he loved the life of a farmer and forager, the diversity of tasks, and the rural lifestyle. “I’m just a country boy at heart,” he says.

Life took a detour when he broke

his leg and had a long period of recovery. Therapy included long walks, and by now an enthusiastic mycologist (“fungus lover”), he spent hours and hours in the woods hunting mushrooms.

At nearly the same time, the mushroom farm where he had worked fell on hard times, went out of business, and its equipment went up for auction.

The buyer? Eric, who, like Cinderella, was dreaming a beautiful future while sitting by the fire.

For eight long years, that mushroom farming equipment lay stored in a barn while Eric worked and gathered his court. Instead of Cinderella’s helpful Godmother and trio of mice, Eric attracted humans with distinct gifts, primarily tech whiz Keith Garrett and super salesman Dennis Chesley.

Finally, when all was aligned, they opened New Hampshire Mushroom Company in July 2012 with clear business goals, according to Tom Caldwell’s article in The Laker: “They had a three-tiered plan: a focus on growing seven species; getting their mushrooms into restaurants and farmers’ markets; and wholesaling the product to large buyers. They have done well on all counts.” And that was just the first year!

Now, four years after opening, their 5,000 square foot facility is maxed out as they mix and pasteurize organic soil, plant spores, then carefully monitor

conditions to ensure best growth of the eight different mushrooms they offer. Depending on the species, the mushrooms are ready for harvest somewhere between 13 and 85 days after inoculation.

Although you may be tempted to think monitoring mushroom growth is about as exciting as watching paint dry, Eric assures me there are constant tweaks that must be made to keep the atmosphere friendly for fungi.

Temperature, humidity and light must be just right for optimal growth, and those settings differ from mushroom to mushroom.

The mushrooms are pampered with hand-mixed organic soil that has been steam pasteurized at 190 degrees F. Spores are inoculated into the soil personally by Eric, after which they are hand tumbled for good distribution before being put on the shelf to grow. In the farm building, optimal air quality is maintained by an air exchanger pumping in 100,000 cubic feet of fresh air/hour. In winter, warmth is maintained with a wood burner. Always happy to be part of the local community, Eric is especially grateful for the 72 cords of slag lumber donated last year that kept mushrooms and staff warm all winter long.

• Mushroom Continued from page 34 he plans to be a mushroom farmer.

Eric estimates he sleeps only three to four hours a night. In addition to planting and monitoring, mushrooms must be harvested consistently once they mature. The New Hampshire Mushroom Company harvests three times a day, every day. Somehow

mushrooms don’t seem to recognize when the rest of the world is on holiday.

It’s not harvesting that keeps Eric awake at night, though. Sometimes equipment troubles can keep his mind racing. The day I visited, Eric noted he was running on less sleep than usual.

The pasteurization boiler had broken days before, and, with the support of White Mountain Propane (“they have been extremely helpful,” says Eric),

tech partner Keith had gone through three parts in four days trying to fix it. Finally, just before I left, all was pronounced well, and pasteurization was poised to commence.

Truth be told, though, Eric’s lack of sleep rarely derives from negative forces. Instead, it is his entrepreneurial spirit that keeps him up. According to the original business plan, NH Mushroom Company reached “happily ever after”

in 2013 when it was distributing 750 pounds a week, or “happily-ER ever after” last year when they shipped more than 1000 pounds a week and became New England’s largest distributor of exotic mushrooms; but no, that’s not Eric’s view.

“This is the only way I see food going,” he says. The earth’s population

July 11, 2016 • Mushroom Continued from page 36 is seven billion now and projected to reach 11.2 billion by 2100. Cultivated mushrooms offer high protein and high nutrients and are grown in an agricultural media that would normally go into the waste cycle. The flavors, textures, and recipes for mushrooms are endless, he says.

With excitement, Eric’s speech runs faster and faster. Do I know that each King Oyster mushroom has five grams of protein, eight essential amino acids, B vitamins, minerals and that it can take on at least seven flavor and texture profiles, including beef jerky, smoked pulled pork and bacon? The Bear’s Head mushroom is even more versatile, making, for instance, a magnificent crabmeat substitute. The candy cap is aptly named. It tastes just like maple syrup.

New Hampshire Mushroom Company has a mushroom for every discerning palate, but most people know the mushroom only as an often-tasteless, sometimes rubbery ingredient.

Eric’s been awake at night, thinking about how he can introduce more people to the magic of mushrooms. In July, the company moves into a full calendar of education and appreciation events.

Education Coordinator Stephanie Doyle is onsite daily, and in addition to the regular Sunday farm tours at noon, they have begun “Can You Eat It?” tours with expert mycologist Rick Van de Poll once a month. The group forages in the woods, then returns to the farm’s new outdoor kitchen to sample a rich assortment

of small plates prepared by Resident Chef Kaylon Sweet. At the June “Can You Eat It?” the group identified 30 mushroom species despite overall dry conditions.

Another new venture is the monthly meeting of The Supper Club. One can be a member once or forevermore.

A five-course farm to table dinner is served in fine dining form to showcase the farm’s gourmet mushrooms and the skill of Chef Kaylon Sweet. “Bring your own bottle and your favorite people,” Eric says.

Eric is also studying the naturopathic science behind healing teas made from mushrooms like reishi and chaga.

Increasing demand for high quality, organic exotic mushrooms and a natural collaborative spirit has led the New Hampshire Mushroom Company to forge relationships with major growers throughout New England.

Why should we all try to grow all the species that are in demand? asks Eric.

Instead, some farms now concentrate on particular lines and other farms raise other favorites. In addition, the New Hampshire Mushroom Company will soon purvey mushrooms from growers who have contracted to grow under the company’s strict standards. They will all be certified organic, inspected and insured to retain the quality gourmets have come to expect from New Hampshire Mushroom Company.

To pursue just a few of the projects Eric outlines would weary most people, but Eric says he considers himself blessed. “You never know where life will take you. Here I am being everything I want to be: a farmer, inventor, educator, presenter, and chef.

This captures everything as a whole.”

Yes, he doesn’t sleep much, but he’s right where he wants to be.

As I head out the door, he points me to a Facebook meme attributed to the Dalai Lama. When asked what surprised him about humanity, the spiritual leader is reported to have replied, “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.

Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Eric Milligan is determined not to be that man.

New Hampshire Mushroom Company products can be found at Concord Food Co-op, E.M. Heath Supermarket, The Local Grocer, Philbrick’s Fresh Market, Sunflower Natural Foods, Whole Foods Market, at the Tilton and Tamworth Farmers’ Markets, and at restaurants throughout New England. The farm is located at 153 Gardner Hill Road in Tamworth, and is open for tours every Sunday at noon.

“Can You Eat It?” tours and tastings are held monthly, and the Supper Club meets one Saturday night a month. The next “Can You Eat It?” is Sunday, July 24. Learn more about upcoming events on the New Hampshire Mushroom Company Facebook page.
