5,000 Photos…and Counting

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photos courtesy Joan Cook

Page 3

This summer, the Sandwich Historical Society is celebrating its 100th birthday and it seems only fitting that Joan present a new exhibit of the photos, numbering a staggering 5,000 at this point. Joan is more than willing to talk about her project and the wonderful and varied photographs she has collected.

“This year’s exhibit will take place at the Sandwich Fairgrounds craft building from July 28 to July 30. We are having an opening reception on July 28 from 4 to 8 pm with cookies and punch. On July 29, the hours are 10 am

Joan Cook is on a mission. She has been focused on that mission for sixplus years and she sees no end in sight, nor does she really want her mission to end.

Perhaps “mission” is not the right word to describe the process that led to Joan collecting an amazing 5,000 photos of Sandwich, NH. What started as part of a book Joan was writing about one-room schoolhouses of Sandwich took on a life of its own after the book was published. (The • Photos book is titled “Exposed, Unbanked, Continued on page 4 Weatherbeaten Knowledge Box: The Lower Main Street before the 1934 Fire, which left the Post Office and Masonic Schools of Sandwich, New Hampshire, Hall still there.

Recalling how she began collecting Because Joan and her husband, photographs of Sandwich, Joan says Wilbur, are both natives of the from her home in the Center Sandwich Sandwich area, they know many area, “There was an elderly lady in town people, so door knocking and cold calls – she was over 100 years old – who I to ask about borrowing photos wasn’t visited with. She would reminisce as intimidating as it might sound. and she had a lot of old family photos One thing certainly led to another, and pictures of the town. I decided to and before she knew it, Joan had a ask her if I could make copies of the very large collection of photos – some photos.

Page 4 • Photos Continued from page 3 to 4 pm and on July 30 the exhibit runs from 11 am to 4 pm,” Joan says. One can hear the excitement in her voice and if anyone has a right to be proud and excited, it is the hardworking Joan - once she decides to do something, she gives it her all. Clearly this is a project she has been planning and a rare opportunity for the public to see wonderful photos from over the years that they might not otherwise get to view. The exhibit is free and all are welcome, whether a Sandwich area resident, a summer visitor, vacationer or anyone from around the state.

And indeed, where else can you get a glimpse of the personal photographs from typical New England families?

Most of us do not share our family photo

July 24, 2017

Who is leading who? By Abbott Gotshall Jr, first place, 1993 photo contest. albums with others simply because we doubt if anyone except relatives would be interested. But it is from these photos that we can learn a great deal – old family names, old houses, how architecture has changed over time, ways of dressing, transportation and much more.

Lest one imagine Joan frames and hangs 5,000 photos for the exhibit, think again! She laughs and says, “That would be a really time-consuming process and I can’t imagine hanging that many photos! Most of the photos are in sleeves in photo albums and I try to copy the photos to 8 ½ by 11-inches or at least 5 by 7-inch size.

The photos albums – about 30 of them – are organized by category. We have the albums on tables with chairs at the tables so visitors can sit and take their time browsing through the pictures.

You could really spend an entire day going through the photos!”

No one will be unsure of what scenes they are looking at in the albums because Joan has each photo captioned with pertinent information: the year the photo was taken and the names of people and locations in the photos.

Still, it is a mammoth task and Joan says she has some “strong men” lined up

to help her transport and set everything up and some good volunteers to help during the exhibition.

“I have come up with categories to keep the photos organized, and those categories are: Sandwich Fair Posters; Weddings; The Wild Side of Sandwich (wildlife photos); Centennials; Sandwich sites (houses, businesses, etc.); Veterans; One-Room Schoolhouses; Pow Wow; Sandwich Notch; Barn – Quimby Transportation Museum and other barns; postcards of Sandwich; Happenings in Sandwich; Ski Area in Sandwich; Skating; Four Seasons of Sandwich; Quimby School; Sandwich Fair; Old Barns; Then and Now, and Sports and Clubs.

“I would say that two-thirds of the photographs are in black-and-white and the other third are in color,” Joan explains. This is because in days of old, color was not available. “Some of the photos are from the 1800s and into the early 1900s.”

For those who like stories of vanishing towns and may have read “The Road Through Sandwich Notch,” the category on the Notch will be fascinating. (Just ask Joan about the history of the Notch and she can relate a lot of information sure to conjure up images of farming in the rocky area until the Civil War snatched husbands and sons up. The women were left to get on as best they could and many had to leave to join relatives elsewhere, unable to farm the rocky land alone.)

Joan speaks of the railroad that ran into Notch for logging at one time. It ran from Beebe River in Campton to the back of Whiteface Mountain for several years.

The old photos and Joan’s historical information truly add to the uniqueness of the exhibit.

Spending her entire life in the Sandwich area and working a farm alongside her husband, Joan can well relate to the struggles and isolation…

Hands Down the Smoothest Ride on the Water!

The Brick Store built in 1845 by William Weed as a General Store, Later owned

by Arven Blanchard for in 40 yrs. then Nahum Berry c. 1907 • Photos Continued from page 4 and the beauty and specialness of the lives of fellow country farmers.

Joan attended the Quimby School (later used as Ayotte’s Designery) in Sandwich; at the time it was the local high school with a definite agricultural focus. Along with academics, students learned farming, canning, sewing, woodworking and other skills for living in the country and being quite self -sufficient. Joan says the school was small, since the population of Sandwich was not big in the 1940s and 1950s. (The school eventually closed and students were bused to a larger area school.)

When asked what her original goal for collecting all the photographs was, Joan says after reflection, “I don’t think I really had a goal! But having the exhibit is certainly exciting.” The Sandwich Historical Society will someday be the fortunate recipient of all the photos and the written information Joan has carefully collected and it is indeed any historian’s dream come true.

That sort of gratitude and the ability to leave such a legacy makes all the door knocking and calls and sitting and

recording names and information for photo captions worthwhile.

Joan is now on a mission to gather as many photos with information on young men and women from the area who are serving or have recently served in the military. This information will prove valuable in the future, it can be sure.

What started as a desire to collect one-room schoolhouse memorabilia and old photos has grown by leaps and bounds – and given the town of Sandwich a wonderful gift in the upcoming exhibit.

Although Joan and Wilbur have traveled extensively, they have no plans to retire elsewhere. The family farm is home and projects like the collection of all the photos, which continues into the future, keeps Joan active.

She says with a lilt in her voice, “I do like to keep busy!”

With 5,000 photos collected and counting, busy is something Joan Cook will surely be for years to come.

Anyone with an interest in Sandwich history, families or any lover of old photographs should plan to attend the exhibit at the craft building from July 28 to 30. Joan will look forward to seeing everyone!

The Kite As Art – to Celebrate 15 Years of Art in Sandwich Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery in Center Sandwich is celebrating 15 years of art in the town with a special exhibition: The Kite as Art. Kite artist and author of four books on kiting, Glen Davison, gave a talk about the Kite as Art at the gallery on Saturday, July 22. Following the talk a workshop took place on how to build a kite.

The following weekend, gallery artists will exhibit their kites made for the occasion. Creative examples of the Kite as Art will hang from the rafters and decorate the walls.

“Join us on Sunday afternoon, July 30; the gallery opens at noon. You are welcome to make a kite to fly if wind and weather permit,” says Patricia Carega of the gallery. Artists’ kites will be for sale and range in size from tiny kites you can fly indoors (Anne Garland’s mini kite, The Ruby) to larger decorative kites such as those by CC White. The gallery is located at 69 Maple Street in Center Sandwich.

The idea of the Kite as Art is not

a new one but seems an apt way to celebrate years in the gallery business.

The kite combines art and craft, it is colorful, it takes on many forms and it is kinetic.

Best of all, it is universal. Anyone can fly a kite.

Kites remind of childhood delight and carry with them nostalgia for days gone by as they light up the sky with color and excitement.

Perhaps Glen Davison says it best in a quote from his website: “For many, the word “kite” brings to mind the simple, diamond-shaped structure that has been a staple of many a childhood. But kites can be so much more, with elaborate designs and structures that are works of art and science in their own right.”

For more information on the Kite as Art or on the gallery visit patricialaddcarega.com or call 603284-7728. Gallery hours are from 10 am to 5 pm, Mondays through Saturdays and from noon to 5 pm on Sundays.

Beautiful Birds at the League Join the League of NH Craftsmen – Meredith Fine Craft Gallery on Saturday, August 5 from 11 am to 2 pm as League juried artist, Robert Carrier, demonstrates the process of creating one of his fabric bird sculptures, with several finished pieces on display and for sale. All demonstrations are free and open to the public.

Each of Robert’s life-like bird sculptures is entirely hand constructed in a unique process consisting of a wire mesh body covered with hundreds, and often well over a thousand, fabric “feather” pieces that are individually

hand cut and meticulously placed with tweezers using the aid of magnifying glasses.

Although self-taught, Robert has always had a fascination with the creative process, and the ultimate goal of making seemingly impossible ideas become reality. Past endeavors in photography and tile art have provided him with an eye for light and color, and a love of subject - primarily birds. Several years ago Robert became intrigued with fabric and its many color choices, as well as the possibilities for recreating the look, feel, and dimension of

Ossipee Mountain Boys Bringing Bluegrass Music to Wolfeboro On Friday, July 28 at 7:30 pm, the Great Waters Music Festival will present The Ossipee Mountain Boys at the Great Hall upstairs at the Wolfeboro Town Hall in downtown Wolfeboro.

Original members Jeff Nelsonguitar, vocals; Dave Walker-bass, harmonica, vocals; and Paul Luffbanjo, guitar and vocals are joined by seacoast recording artist Tom Yoder on fiddle and mandolin. They are favorites at the Sandwich Fair, as well as pubs and taverns all around the Lakes Region. They continue to use bluegrassy arrangements of fun and popular songs from yesterday and today in a folk, rock, swing grass put your-hands-together style.

Jeff Nelson plays guitar and vocals for the Ossipee Mountain Boys. Born and raised in the Lakes Region, he was a co-founder of the group. He is a building contractor in the Lakes Region, building custom homes for over 30 years.

Paul Luff has been a professional musician in New England since 1979. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Paul has played with many NH artists and Lakes Region favorites such as Annie & the Orphans, The Lost & Found, Phil ‘n The Blanks and of course the Ossipee Mountain Boys! Paul has enjoyed opening for Jimmy Buffet, The Guess Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Travis Tritt and Big and Rich, to name a few.

Dave Walker was born and raised in Puerto Rico; he picked up the guitar and harmonica at the age of 13, and

started his music career in St. Thomas, USVI in 1976, playing saxophone and harmonica with a local band.

After moving to New Hampshire, Dave became a founding member of the Ossipee Mountain Boys, on bass, harmonica and vocals. Over the years he has played with popular local bands including Unbroken Chain and the Crunchy Western Boys. He also has had the privilege of playing three tours in Ireland.

Tom Yoder is a musician whose style is rooted in bluegrass and contemporary folk music. Add a little rock edge, a touch of blues, sweeten with some country swing and you have a recipe for Tom’s unique rootsy sound.

As a mandolin and fiddle player for the

Don Campbell Band he enjoyed the opportunity to perform at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville as winners

of a national talent contest where he stole the show for his electrifying live performance.

Tickets for the performance are general admission - $20.00. Fidelity Investments, the Laconia Daily Sun and Financial Focus sponsor the concert.

The Great Waters Music Festival is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing outstanding musical performances to people living in and visiting the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Thanks to all who have contributed to this organization, it is able to provide high quality musical performances at reasonable prices. Information and tickets for all performances are available at the office at 54 North Main St. in Wolfeboro, by calling 603-569-7710, or at www. greatwaters.org.

80 Years of Eco-Tourism: The Hospital & Community Aid Street Fair Story by Barbara Neville Wilson “Boats, Barbara. We really need boats.” Jane Wass is serious. “Put that in at the beginning of the article, and put it in at the end, too,” she advises.

And there! I’ve done it, haven’t I? When Jane Wass speaks up about what the Hospital Aid Street Fair needs, I listen. She’s co-chair of the annual event and takes her responsibility very seriously. You see, it’s the fulfillment of a vow she made decades ago: if God would heal her from a life-threatening illness, she would do good with her life.

For years, now, that good has been for Huggins Hospital through the annual Street Fair in Wolfeboro.

Now in its 80th year, the Fair, which takes place August 4 and 5, raises funds for the rural hospital serving Wolfeboro and communities 30 or more miles away. From the beginning, its purpose has been to buy things that

would “promote the interest of the Huggins Hospital by providing as far as possible such articles as are necessary for the comforts of the inmates.” Over the years, receipts from the Fair have brought up-to-date equipment and niceties to the hospital that would otherwise be impossible for such a small institution to buy. In the 1930s and ’40s, this included x-ray machines and operating equipment, johnnies, sheeting and bandages, bedpan covers (!), paint and décor, silverware and even hand-hemmed tablecloths for the hospital dining room. In the ’50, anesthesia machines, a viscocardiette and an electromanometer were acquired. Recently, Huggins benefited by the purchase of birthing chairs and mammography equipment.

From the beginning, the Fair has been about fun. Fun in the days it runs, and fun in the year-round preparation for it. It’s fun with a cause and that cause

has expanded through the decades.

Always at the heart, though, is a unique collaboration of year-round residents and summer visitors. In fact, if one sees the definition of “ecotourism” as “tourism to places having unspoiled natural resources, with minimal impact on the environment being a primary concern,” the Street Fair fits right in.

You see, while this year’s Street Fair

will include everything you’d expect to find at any fair in America: rides and cotton candy, hucksters and live music; it will also have its hallmark emphasis on re-using and recycling.

The first Street Fair in 1938 fell in the ninth year of the Great Depression and introduced the central concept of • Street Fair Continued on page 19

Page 19

July 24, 2017 • Street Fair Continued from page 18 giving new life to old items. Seventynine years later, the first scant gathering of a half dozen or so 6 by 6-ft. linen tents has grown to a great gathering of tents on Brewster Field. Inside the tents, you’ll find “previously-loved” books and clothing, household goods and electronics, sports paraphernalia and jewelry, all donated, and carefully collected, priced and packed at the Street Fair storage barns for 51 weeks, one year until the next, then hauled in truckload after truckload for the big event the first full weekend of August, rain or shine.

From the beginning, summer residents have played an important part in the success of the Fair. At the first Fair, the band from Camp Wyanoke (a boys’ summer camp off Forest Road in Wolfeboro) provided entertainment, along with the Wolfeboro town band, but the camp also shared the Brewster Field for its annual West Point-style Parade and Band Concert. Throughout the decades, summer residents have been known to save their white elephant items to donate to the Fair in Wolfeboro, and even today, some of Jane Wass’ most conscientious volunteers come from “away.”

Of course, being a volunteer has its costs. Like the proverbial sausage maker, one gets to know too well the importance and urgency of the hard work. In 2000, Skip Clow, brother of founder Ethel (Clow Dye) Black recalled traveling the 500 miles from Tonawanda, NY to work at the Fair for summer after summer. It was never a chore for him and his family, he said, because they had so much fun, but one day when he won at chuck-a-luck, he realized there was a price for his devotion. Walking proudly around the

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

Fairgrounds with a fistful of change, he suddenly realized he had to donate it all back to the Fair. “My sister was running the show, you know.”

In this current era of serious attention to the conservation of natural resources, it’s remarkable to think how progressive the Street Fair has always been in this area. Cast-off treasures become new jewels when they are bought at the Street Fair, and it’s not uncommon to see favorite items return to be sold again after a brief years’ sojourn at someone’s home or cottage.

In the 1950s when there was a Pet Tent, even animal genetics appeared and reappeared at the Fair. In 1950, the Fred Clows bought a kitten. By the next year, she had kittens and Bud Booth bought a kitten, and in 1952, Bud’s kitten had kittens that were sold at the Fair. (This writer finds some irony in the fact that on that year mama kitten also won the Fair’s title of “Best Behaved Kitten.”)

Today, Jane and her volunteers have taken conservation and recycling into new territory. In addition to “Buck A Bag” specials to encourage bulk sales on the Fair’s final day, arrangements are made for other charitable organizations to receive leftovers at the end of the Fair.

Medical equipment collected at the Barns is always offered free to anyone who needs it. Metal unsuitable for sale

or left over at the end is sent out for recycling. Remaining books are picked up by a charity that finds them new homes. Clothing that does not find a home is taken to help impoverished people in other regions of the country.

For many people downsizing or breaking up estates, the Hospital Aid Street Fair has become the “go to” in the area. Jane says it’s a wonderful way

to support the hospital and it makes things easy for the families—one-stop donating, as it were. “We just ask,” says Jane, “that people call ahead to be sure we are here to accept their things.”

There is nothing more heartbreaking than to see perfectly good donations left outside the Barns only to become ruined by exposure to bad weather.

This year’s Hospital Aid Street Fair will be held at Brewster Field on Main Street in Wolfeboro - rain or shine August 4 and 5 from 10 am to 10 pm.

The Street Fair Barns on Pine Hill Road (Route 109A) can still accept some donations, particularly clothing, jewelry and boats. Please call Jane Wass at 603-569-6630 before dropping items off.

And did we mention? Jane Wass, cochair of the Hospital Aid Street Fair says, “Boats…we really need boats.”

Live Music at the Lake - Summer Concert Series to feature Big Medicine There’s something new…and musical in Tuftonboro this summer.

If you enjoy live music in a beautiful setting near the lake, plan to be at the final concert of the season when Big Medicine comes to the bandstand on July 27 at 6:30 pm. Presented by

Meredith Village Savings Bank and coordinated by Tuftonboro Parks and Recreation, a series of outdoor concerts has been underway this summer in the town’s pavilion, located at 19 Mile Bay Beach on Bay Road in Tuftonboro, right next to the shores of

the lake. Bring a blanket or chair for seating on the beach or lawn. There is no need to pack snacks or drinks, because concessions will be for sale.

All are welcome to enjoy an evening of fine music.

The concert is free to the public, and a free-will offering will be accepted, with proceeds benefitting the Tuftonboro Scholarship Fund.

Big Medicine Band is made up of musicians whose years of experience have come together seamlessly and with the ease of a timeless ballad. Charlie Zatzkin was most recently a member of the local “Traveling Wolfeburys”.

He played for years in and around Philadelphia. He was lead singer and guitarist for “Probable Cause” and was seen on local TV dance shows and in clubs at the Jersey Shore.

Bruce Berger, drummer, was lead singer and a founding member of “44 Magnum” from Manchester, whose success was well known as they were

followed throughout New England.

Lynn (Hughes) Berger plays keys and has performed her songs in Italy, Austria, Sedona Arizona and in many New Hampshire venues.

Bud Clark on bass is a main staple of many local bands, most recently with The Carolyn Ramsey Band. His 30 years of experience make him uniquely qualified to bring rhythm to rock and R&B with ease.

Big Medicine is well-known locally, having played New Year’s gigs and Hobbs Tavern, and special events at Wolfetrap Grill and Rawbar. They were the opening act for James Montgomery and Barry Goudreau at Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia. Their set lists consist of classic rock from Eagles, Beatles, 60’s hits, Motown and lots of surprises, all designed to take you back comfortably to a simpler time.

65th Annual Bristol Rotary Club Penny Sale The Bristol Rotary Club will hold its Annual Penny Sale on Thursday, August 10 at 6:30 pm at the Newfound Regional High School on Newfound Road in Bristol. (Please note the change in venue this year due to the renovations at Newfound Middle School.)

Now in its 65th year, the Rotary Penny Sale is one of New Hampshire’s longest running annual fundraisers.

Last year alone, the Bristol Rotary Club raised more than $9,000.00 for their scholarship fund for local youths in the Newfound Area seven-town district.

The Penny Sale works as follows: there are three prize rounds throughout the night offering 100 (or more) prizes in each round. Rotarians sell tickets for $1.00 each prior to each prize round. If a person’s ticket is drawn, they win a prize and their ticket goes back into the raffle drum to be eligible to win again and again.

The more tickets a person buys, the better chances they have of being a winner. There will also be grand prizes at the end of the three rounds, of which anyone that purchased a ticket is eligible to win, including a Kindle Fire Bundle, Picnic Table from RP Williams, Mountain Bike from Rhino

Bike Works, Scratch tickets from Shackett’s Store, Bristol Hannaford Super Gift Card, Home Heating Oil from Dead River Company, and cash.

A 50/50 raffle to benefit the Bristol Community Services, 100 sweepstakes tickets to benefit the Tapply Thompson Community Center Summer Scholarship Fund, and a Silent Auction to benefit Rotary Charities will also be held.

Food and refreshments will be on sale, and this has always been a great night of fun for all who attend. For further information, contact Les Dion at the Tapply-Thompson Community Center in Bristol at 603-744-2713.

As a part of L.I.F.E. Ministries Food Pantry Hunger Relief Weekend on July 28 to 30, local musicians are presenting a musical variety concert, on Sunday, July 30 at 7 pm at the First Congregational Church in Wolfeboro.

Natalie Hebden, from Melvin Village, has been singing and playing music since third grade when she took up the clarinet and learned to read music. From there, she taught herself acoustic guitar and folk songs and life has never been the same! She played in bands in Western Massachusetts in the late 70’s and 80’s before moving to the Boston area and getting involved with the folk scene there.

Natalie was drawn to the folk style of the likes of Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez and Woody Guthrie. The lyrics spoke volumes and the melodies were easy to play. Since that time, Natalie has explored various genres of music including blues, country, bluegrass and traditional contra dance/fiddle tunes.

Her current influences include Gillian Welsh, Nora Jones, Nanci Griffiths and others. Her selections tell stories of life, love, loss and everything in between.

This is an especially exciting performance for her, as she has promoted several benefit concerts for the LIFE Ministry’s Food Pantry over the past several years, presenting wellknown folk musicians at the Old White Church in Tuftonboro. This will be her second time contributing her own talents to the cause. Natalie performs a wide variety of songs, many of which the audience can sing right along with.

If you have ever heard Natalie perform, you know you are in for a treat!

The Starlight Honeys began as a trio in 2012 with founding members Sam (Samantha) Tracy, Katie O’Connell and Roger Sorlien. The band is centered around tight vocal harmonies on old time and contemporary folk songs

including many originals. The band has filled out over the years to include Doug Hazard on mandolin and vocals, Rachel Sorlien on fiddle and vocals and Dick Hodges on upright bass. The band is based in Sandwich, NH and can be seen this summer in several concert series around the Lakes Region as well as at the Ossipee Valley Music festival.

The Davey Family Band consists of three talented kids and their proud father sharing their love for each other and for music, playing an eclectic mix of folk and contemporary tunes.

Liam and Cullen comprise the rhythm section while Bryn and Dad work at the front, their voices working joyfully together for your enjoyment.

String Equinox, comprised of Beverly Woods and Shana Aisenberg, have been playing music together since 1996. Sharing a love of traditional music along with an adventuresome spirit, String Equinox brings you music and songs from America and around the world using a variety of stringed instruments including fiddle, mandolins, guitars, piano, and others.

You can find out more about them at stringequinox.com.

Please remember that 100% of the $20 ticket price goes to support hunger relief. All workers, performers, and the First Congregational Church of Wolfeboro are giving their time, talent, or space free of charge. Tickets may be purchased at Blacks Paper Store in Wolfeboro and from volunteers at the raffle sales tables at Spencer Hughes Real Estate and Harvest Markets on Saturday, July 29 from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm; Sunday, July 30 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. If you are unable to attend the concert, you can still help those in need by purchasing 50/50 raffle tickets or placing a donation in the jars located in many of the stores in Wolfeboro and Alton.

Focus on Local Beauty - Sandwich Home Industries and Artisans on the Green Sandwich, Sharon explained, “I decided years ago that I would show my work in lovely places. The village of Sandwich is one of the most delightful.”

Matt Brown is a well-known printmaker and NH League of Craftsmen artisan represented at Sandwich Home Industries. Working first in larger scale wood projects as a carpenter, cabinetmaker and builder, Matt’s skills and interests evolved to making carved wooden blocks as the basis for his subtly colored prints. His beautifully developed works of New Hampshire birds, mountains, and lakes are shown in the Center Sandwich gallery throughout the season.

There are many more examples of objects inspired by New Hampshire’s natural world and produced in multiple mixed media available at Artisans on the Green. Held during Sandwich Old Home Week celebrations, select New Hampshire artists and craftspeople

Sandwich Home Industries, the first gallery of the New Hampshire League of Craftsmen, has confirmed the participation of more than 30 artisans from around the state to join in an allday celebration of arts and crafts on the Town Green on Thursday, August 10. The work of this year’s group of artisans reflects the natural beauty of New Hampshire surroundings in a variety of media. From fiber to fine arts and from wood turning to silver casting, their work combines observations of nature and their interpretation of it into objects for home and office.

Sharon Dunigan’s beautiful stoneware pottery is created for everyday use.

Sharon’s artistry combines function with a stunning appreciation for New Hampshire’s abundance. Her popular blueberry embellished plates, vases, and mugs will be on sale again this year at Artisans on the Green. When asked why she chooses to show her work in

gather on the Sandwich Town Green on Thursday, August 10 from 10 am to 4:30 pm to demonstrate, describe, and sell their quality arts and crafts. The public is welcome to talk with the artists, watch them work, and purchase favorite objects. Organized by Sandwich Home Industries each summer for many years, this event is a terrific way to celebrate the Home Industries mission and their commitment to community crafts education.

The free daylong event occurs rain or shine. Parking is plentiful and lunch is available from the Sandwich Women’s Club with proceeds supporting their annual education scholarship. Meredith

Village Savings Bank is once again the official sponsor of this event.

A founding member of the League of NH Craftsmen, Sandwich Home Industries continues to support craftspeople from all regions of New Hampshire and to educate children and adults through its programs. The shop is open daily from May through October 15. For a list of craft courses still available during summer 2017, visit www.centersandwich.nhcrafts.org.

SLA to Host Guided Beaver Walk in Belknap Woods Join Squam Lakes Association’s Conservation Intern Eric Glover on a guided woodland adventure through Belknap Woods, Friday, July 28 as he dives into the incredible life of beavers.

If you have a desire to learn about the largest rodent in North America and the dams that they call home, join this exploratory walk with the Squam Lakes Association (SLA).

Despite their large size and pivotal role in the woodland ecosystem, beavers are often overlooked and misunderstood. Their nocturnal nature only adds to their mystery, because the only beaver activity many will ever see is their dams and felled trees, but the beavers do much more. Beaver dams provide valuable services to our ecosystem and the fur trade that stemmed from their pelts, which helped shape the northeast into what it is today.

This nature walk will explore all things beaver, from diet to environmental impacts, their biology to their historical impact on the northeast.

All ages are invited for this morning

of fun. The walk will leave from the trailhead of Belknap Woods off Route 25B at 10 am with an expected return time of noon.

For more information, or to sign up for this Adventure Ecology Program, visit www.squamlakes.org or call 603968-7336. The SLA also offers other Adventure Ecology trips throughout the summer. Every Friday through August 18, these free program 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.

Hit the Trails with SLA! It’s hiking season, the forest is alive, and the trails are calling! Volunteer with the SLA and get outside, gain skills, and give back to the trails you know and love.

Throughout the summer and fall the SLA is training anyone interested in the art and science of trail maintenance. The

The 1960s Return to the Bandstand!

The 1960s will be returning to Cate Park on Saturday, July 29 from 7 to 9 pm in the form of ’60s Invasion.

The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand will be welcoming back ’60s Invasion, a band that takes listeners back on a trip to one of the most influential decades in musical history. The band has made numerous appearances around the Lakes Region and is returning to the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand for another Saturday night concert.

The group started building its repertoire from the band that is primarily responsible for defining the music of the 1960s, The Beatles, but

has expanded its catalog to include a wide variety of other bands, including the Byrds, the Grass Roots and more.

The band also turned to music of the early 1960s to help make themselves more entertaining and now feature songs from the early part of the decade such as “Runaround Sue” by Dion and the Belmonts and “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” by Elvis Presley.

The band takes concertgoers through each year of the 1960s, helping bring back memories of those times by talking about the many social events of the time and sporting events that took place. The group also will play some of the television themes that were

popular at the time, as they hope to both entertain and educate listeners.

Gino DeMao is a vocalist and keyboard player for the band. He got his singing career started in the early 1960s with Citations and has performed with many other bands, including The Music Gallery. He has also performed as a solo act at Angelica’s in Middleton, Mass.

Jack Little plays bass guitar and also adds vocals to the mix. His background in brass instruments and his love of jazz brought him around several jazz ensembles during the late 1970s and eventually led to him studying guitar.

He has performed original music with Paintbox at a number of establishments throughout the region.

Dave Vose is the band’s drummer and also chips in on vocals. He has performed with The Drifters, Freddy Cannon and Freedom and is also kept busy as an artist and clinician with the Yamaha company and as a professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Gene Richard plays guitar and adds vocals as well. He has been playing lead, rhythm and/or bass guitar for many years and has played with Another Round, Open Road and Rage

N Age. Jake Smith holds a degree from Berklee College of Music and he teaches and performs extensively throughout New England and is a member of the Deep Blue “C” Studio Orchestra.

The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand continues to provide quality entertainment to the citizens of the Lakes Region with the free community concert series each and every Saturday night in July and August, weather permitting. If bad weather is in the forecast and the concert has to be cancelled, there will be a sign at the entrance to the park announcing such as well as a notice at wolfeborobandstand.org and on the bandstand’s Facebook page.

While there is no charge for the concert, a pass-the-hat collection is taken at intermission to help support the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand and the efforts to continue to provide high-quality acts in the bandstand every summer.

The ‘60s Invasion concert will take place on Saturday, July 29, at 7 pm in the bandstand in Cate Park.

Watch artists paint local scenes on Wednesday, August 16 Artists are invited to join Paint Wolfeboro, a day of plein air painting in downtown Wolfeboro on Wednesday, August 16 (the rain date is Thursday, August 17). Participants in this, the eighth annual event, sponsored by the Governor Wentworth Arts Council, will enjoy a day of outdoor painting in the scenic town on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. Artists can set up downtown, along the lakeshore, or on one of Wolfeboro’s nearby walking trails.

Visitors will have the opportunity to watch works of art being created and can purchase pieces either during the day or at a sale that runs from 3 to 4:30 pm in Cate Park.

Artist registration begins at 8 am in the Community Bandstand in Cate Park, with painting under way until 3 pm.

Artists pay a $15 advanced registration (or $20 the day of event) fee and agree to give 40% of any sales to the Governor Wentworth Arts Council. Artists set the prices for their work and any unsold paintings remain the property of the artist.

Those registered receive coffee and pastries in the morning, and water throughout the day. In addition, runners will be available to provide work-site coverage for artist breaks.

This year children at least 4 years old

and accompanied by an adult can join in the outdoor painting fun by trying their hand at watercolor painting in Cate Park from 11 am to 2 pm. For a small donation, each child can create a painting with a watercolor kit for future fun.

In keeping with a day of plein air painting, the GWAC Paint Wolfeboro committee will raffle off two very special European-made easels: Winsor & Newton Tweed Half Box Easel and Mabef Sketchbox Easel M-22. Both easels are of seasoned oiled beechwood with brass hardware and leather handles. Both fold down to a box shape for transporting. Raffle tickets are on sale at The Art Place, Sandy Martin Gallery and the Blue Shutter, all located in Wolfeboro. The drawing will be in Cate Park the day of plein air painting.

The Governor Wentworth Arts Council uses the monies raised to support arts programming in local schools and libraries.

For more information and a registration form, visit wolfeboroarts. org, email the group at info@ wolfeboroarts.org, or call one of the co-chairs: Debbie Hopkins at 603-5694994, or Madelyn Albee at 603-5691701.

Artists who register by July 25 will have their names included in event publicity.

Know Before You Go!

One thing I enjoy is visiting one of the many craft fairs or rummage sales around the lake, to see what local artisans have to offer, and to also search for great deals on items I could really use. The Lakes Region has many popular fairs to help you find items you need, as well as lovely gifts for yourself or for family and friends.

Reward yourself after all that shopping with some fried dough or a delicious potluck dish. It’s a New England tradition! Here are some upcoming fairs scheduled around the area.

If you’re in the Newfound Lake area on Saturday, July 29, don’t miss a fun-filled day at the Hebron Fair!

Located on the Hebron Common at the north end of the lake, the fair begins at 9 am. A fundraiser for the Union Congregational Church, the fair features over 90 vendors, and children’s games, used books, baked goods, and more for sale! There’s also a rummage sale, and both silent and live auctions. Kids will enjoy the

pony rides and dunk booth. If you get hungry, try some homemade baked beans for lunch.

The Annual Huggins Hospital Street Fair will be held on Friday, August 4 and Saturday, August 5 at Brewster Academy on Main Street in Wolfeboro. This is a very popular fair with bargain hunters. Thousands of items are donated to raise money for the hospital, including toys, sporting goods, household décor, furniture, clothing, books, and lots more. There will be plenty of food for sale, as well as treats like fried dough, cotton candy, and caramel apples in the ride area.

Yes, this fair has rides! The whole family can enjoy rides and games at the amusement portion of the fair. (My personal favorite is The Scrambler.)

The fair is open from 10 am til 10 pm both days, with a live auction on Saturday, beginning at 11 am.

The 72nd Annual Belknap County 4-H Fair is on August 12 and 13 this year, at the Belknap County Fairgrounds off Route 106, on Mile Hill Road in Belmont. The fair will feature animal shows, oxen and tractor

Backroad Meanderings

by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper There is nothing I like better than getting lost. I don’t mean getting lost in a suburban snarl of highways with crazed, gotta-drive-90 mph and cutyou-off mentalities. Rather, I am talking about my love of Lakes Region back roads with “speed limit 30 mph” signs and plenty of places to pull over so that drivers in a hurry can whiz by me. If I have no idea where the road leads, all the better.

I shake my head in pity at those who don’t slow down to savor the beauty all around them, instead speeding down country roads in a hurry to reach some destination. A recent rainy, humid July day on the road to Sandwich, NH was just such a slow-down, meandering adventure. I was in the Center Harbor area to run an errand and I had nothing else scheduled. The afternoon stretched before me, and on a whim, I took a left-hand turn by the intersection near Senter’s Market and turned onto Bean Road.

There was no particular reason for my decision to drive Bean Road other than that it is a pretty drive. Now and then, if the fall foliage is particularly beautiful during Sandwich Fair weekend, we take this road to get to the fair. It runs

past the shoreline of Squam Lake in places and is certainly very colorful in the autumn. It is just as pretty during the height of the summer as well, and I have even enjoyed driving it in the winter.

I took the road at a leisurely pace and enjoyed the beautiful deep green of the mountains and the stillness of the water. It wasn’t difficult to imagine the days when children’s summer camps were just coming into vogue (in the early 1900s) and the sound of camp songs could be heard over the still water, or the screams of delight rang out as camp kids dove into the cool waters of the lake.

Before I knew it, I was passing some familiar areas – the back of the Sandwich Fairgrounds property and then the elementary school.

Although all was quiet because school is out for the summer and certainly Sandwich Fair will not be taking place until October, as I took a right-hand turn into the village area, I saw it was bustling with cars and tourists walking here and there. The Corner House Inn was open and busy and nearby, Surroundings Art Gallery’s open sign was out and they too were attracting customers.

I noticed, as I drove on Maple Street

(in the village), the open flag was out by the white picket fence at the Sandwich Historical Society. I felt I just had to stop in because I knew this is the 100th anniversary of the Society; they always have something interesting on view at their summer exhibits.

After parking my car, I saw signage that indicated I walk across a small stone path on a lawn and enter via the barn area on the side of the building.

The Historical Society is housed in a pretty whitewashed Cape style house, built in 1850 by Elisha Marston. If you go to the Society’s website, there is information about the history of the house and an interview from an 1892 newspaper article on Elisha, as well as a few old photos of him. (I love one quote from him in the article: “People live too high nowadays and health is sacrificed. We used to live well in old times having brown-bread, pork, beans and plain and simple foods, good enough for anyone.”)

As I stepped through the entrance, I was in a true barn-like setting: the walls were covered in old tools and I could glimpse more of the collection on the open second-story. A little desk area held pamphlets, and a book where visitors could sign in. Two chairs offered a spot to sit a spell and chat

with whatever Society member might be at the desk. A small gift shop filled a side room.

“Welcome!” I heard someone say and I turned to see one of the Society’s staff, Judy Stoehr, standing in the doorway of the hall that led between the main house and the barn area.

Judy was the staff member on duty this particular Friday and she invited me to sit and chat for a few minutes before I began my tour. She told me this is the 100th anniversary of the Historical Society and the exhibit I was about to see focused on that long history.

When I asked how the Society came to be housed in the Marston buildings, she told me, “Elisha Marston came to town with his three brothers. He was a child at the time and originally from Moultonboro.” (It was common practice in olden times for parents with many children to send some of their offspring to work or be educated in neighboring communities. This was the case with Elisha, who remained in Sandwich and eventually came to own a mill. He must have been a good businessman and he bought up property • Day Tripping Continued on page 37

Page 37

July 24, 2017 • Day Tripping Continued from page 36 over the years. He was an entrepreneur who did not let age stop him; one bit of information tells us that at age 65 he began to make shoes! He lived to be quite elderly and his 100th birthday saw a large celebration in Sandwich.

Judy invited me to browse the exhibit; my tour began in the small room between the house and the barn, where a display was set up with memorabilia from the local Quimby School, which served as the town’s high school and focused the on agricultural arts. A heavy emphasis was placed on farming, woodworking, canning, cooking, baking and sewing, along with academic courses.

Classes were small in the 1940s and 50s when the school was in session, because the year-round population of Sandwich was not all that big. I enjoyed seeing old school photos and there was even a white silk band uniform with hat.

I walked down a small hallway and opened a door into the exhibit room; like all else in the actual home vs. the barn portion of the property, rooms and doorways were modest in size.

I like to think it was because Elisha was smart as well as thrifty. “We don’t need a mansion,” I could imagine him declaring in his old-time New England accent as he thumped his walking stick on the floor. “Just a good, solid house with rooms easy to heat and keep clean will do nicely!”

I was charmed by the modest size of the rooms and if that was Elisha’s doing when the house was originally designed, I thank him for his thrift.

The gallery room was not particularly large but just right for the displays on the walls and the standing panels in the center of the room. I was immediately drawn to the many old photos placed by subject matter, such as the Sandwich Home Industries display. I learned that the shop was originally located

Exterior of the Sandwich Historical Society, formerly the Elisha Marston home. between a store and another shop and near the post office. I was fascinated to learn that at one time or another, the Industries building was also “a moving picture house” and an ice cream shop.

The owners of the building lent it to Mrs. J. Randolph Coolidge free of charge; Mrs. Coolidge was the energetic woman who was impressed with the talent of local women in making crafts and home goods and had the idea of a shop where their work could be displayed and sold. The shop would go on to be a tea room as well as display/sales space and eventually would become a vital part of the League of NH Craftsmen and known as the Sandwich Home Industries. A fire took the building but another – the current Home Industries shop – was constructed in 1935.

A beautiful hooked rug was displayed near the Industries information, which told me the “throw rug” was hooked

in the 1920s by Julia A. Moulton, depicting the Burleigh House, the oldest building still standing in Center Sandwich. The rug was among the first sold at the Sandwich Home Industries shop, purchased by a Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts resident.

I love old hooked rugs with their primitive patterns and bright colors; this rug was a delight with a primitive style and fine artistry. I was amazed the rug has stood the test of time so well and I can see why it was probably a treasured piece, made when the League of Craftsmen was in its infancy.

In the olden days, it seems every town had its own telephone service and Sandwich was no exception. I won’t go into the long history of the home that became the telephone switchboard, but suffice it to say a lady once lived in the house who was famous for her Parker House Rolls(!) among other interesting facts. The last chief telephone operator

was Mrs. Florence Knox; she manned the switchboard with one helper until 1955 when the dial system came into being. (As a side note, Mrs. Knox was very dedicated to her job and remained at the switchboard while the town of Sandwich burned in a devastating fire some years earlier.)

After touring the gallery, with many old photos of local people and buildings, I came away with a lot more knowledge about the community than I had previously known. For example, on trips through town, I had always wondered about an unusually designed brick building before the village area.

What had been its original purpose?

Had it been a private home? A store? A small factory? My question was finally answered when I learned through old photos and information that it was the Brick Store, built by William M. Weed in 1845.

It seems Mr. Weed wanted to build a unique structure for his general store at the Lower Corner. The building was Italianate in style and unlike the other buildings in town. (Don’t get me wrong – I love the old Cape and Colonial style whitewashed homes and shops, but this brick building certainly stands alone among the wooden structures.) The building was used as a general store for over 130 years. Come to the exhibit to learn the other uses for the building, including a vault that was built into the building!

I was very impressed by the exhibit.

The Society staff put a lot of thought into crafting displays that share the memorabilia and photos from their collection, but also includes information about people, places and events that make the people of long ago come alive. Turns out those who came before us were not so different; they had artistic flair, dedication, • Day Tripping Continued on page 38

Give Me Tomorrow The New York Times best-selling author Patrick O’Donnell will give a lecture on his book about the Korean War, Give Me Tomorrow, on Tuesday evening, July 25. The lecture, which is part of the Wright Museum of World War II’s Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney Education Programs, will take place in the Wolfeboro Town Hall’s Great Hall at 86 South Main Street, Wolfeboro, NH. The lecture will run from 7 to 8 pm. Doors will open at 6 pm. Great Hall parking is available behind the Town Hall and on Main Street. Please use the back entrance to the Town Hall. Admission is free to the public thanks to a grant from the Town of Wolfeboro’s Cate Memorial Fund.

In his lecture, O’Donnell will tell the story of the Marines of George Company during the Korean War (1950-1953) fought by United Nations forces. After helping to defeat the North Korean troops who had invaded South Korea and then advancing into North Korea, the men of George Company thought the war would be over by the end of 1950. But then China sent its soldiers into North Korea in a massive counterattack. George Company was in the thick of the fighting. These modern day Spartans battled their way through a Chinese division and then held off an entire Chinese regiment to prevent them from capturing a strategic

hill overlooking the town of Hagaru-ri during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir.

If the Chinese captured Hagar-ri, the United Nations forces would lose the war.

The fighting took place on some of Korea’s roughest terrain during one of the harshest winters of the Korean War, when temperatures dropped to 40 degrees below zero. As for the men of George Company, they wanted to see tomorrow but for many of them tomorrow never came. O’Donnell will bring to life George Company’s gripping tale of suffering, heroism, and courage.

Give Me Tomorrow will be on sale and O’Donnell will sign copies after the lecture.

The Wright Museum of World War II is open to the public for the 2017 season daily through October 31.

Museum hours are Monday-Saturday: 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday: noon to 4 pm. The Museum is a not-for-profit 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.

After browsing the exhibit, I turned next to the living quarters of Elisha’s home. It is here that history comes alive as one walks from room to room.

The natural light spilled through the window over the old sink with its hand pump. I stood before the sink and imagined the women folk of the house, or even elderly Elisha washing his hands as cold water spilled from the hand pump. Would those who once lived here have appreciated the oldfashioned flowers growing around the edges of the lawn? Would they have savored the coolness in the old home after the humid July heat out of doors?

I wandered into the dining room, where every object spoke of the past and the stillness allowed me the peace and quiet to reflect on the wonderful design of Elisha’s home. The parlor and bedroom were also furnished as they once would have been and I could imagine Elisha falling asleep in his bedroom after a hard day’s work.

A charming little room ended my tour of the home and it is dedicated solely to how children would once have lived and played and been educated. A lineup of children’s clothing from many years ago fills one wall, along with old-time children’s toys and other objects.

Judy told me, back in the barn area, that when the house passed out of the ownership of the Marston family, the contents were auctioned off. The Society has done a wonderful job of utilizing items donated by the public to furnish the house and create the exhibits, making history truly come

The Sandwich Historical Society has a lot going on this summer as they continue their 100th anniversary celebration. The exhibit in the Marston house is but one of the many things happening in conjunction with the anniversary. One such event, an exhibit of 5,000 photos of Sandwich collected by resident Joan Cook is another that is sure to be of interest (see story page 3.)

“Don’t forget the Quimby Transportation Museum just a few steps down the street,” reminded Judy. Indeed, the Quimby Barn and Transportation Museum at 16 Maple Street in Sandwich is another gem that is overseen by the Sandwich Historical Society. It houses old modes of transportation and is open weekly.

I can attest to the wonderful materials at the Society because I have utilized it in the past for research. To set up a time to do family history or other research, call the Sandwich Historical Society for usage fees and appointment times at 603-284-6269, or email sandwichresearch@gmail.com.

As I headed back down Bean Road, I noticed many beautiful old homes. The houses probably have wonderful views of the water and mountains. “Hmm…I wonder what the story of the old summer homes and camps might be?”

I asked myself as I meandered down Bean Road.

But that, as they say, is a question to be answered on another day (trip)!

Sherlock and Watson Attempt to Crack Their Most Famous Case Since its original serialized publication in 1901, The Hound of the Baskervilles has been adapted over 20 times for television and film.

In the third production of the stage and screen-themed summer season, the Winnipesaukee Playhouse in Meredith presents this classic tale of mystery and legend through July 29.

An adaptation of perhaps the most famous Sir Arthur Conan Doyle classic, this twist on The Hound of the Baskervilles features storyteller and sidekick Doctor Watson thrust onto center stage. Four actors play Sherlock Holmes’ beloved Boswell in this rendition, each telling the story of the infamous hound said to have murdered a sinful ancestor of the Baskerville estate, and transforming into other characters as the story unravels.

Come see Watson’s detective skills put to the test as he attempts to solve the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, uncover the secrets of the suspicious Barrymore, locate a missing boot, and discover whether or not a supernatural hound really does haunt Baskerville Hall.

All this unfolds while Baskerville Hall, and the fortune that goes along

with it, is set to be handed down the line of succession to an American relative, Henry Baskerville.

Three familiar faces (Nicholas Wilder, Richard Brundage, and John-Michael Breen), plus one newcomer (Marshall Taylor Thurman), play the four Watsons as well as dozens of other characters.

The production reunites several members from Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s previous Sherlock Holmes production, The Final Adventure, director Neil Pankhurst and costume designer Lori McGinley. The production team also includes set designer David Towlun and lighting designer Graham Edmondson.

Bank of New Hampshire and the Taylor Community generously sponsor the 2017 summer season.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is further supported by the generous sponsorship of Bruno Coppola at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, AutoServ Dealerships, and Kovio’s K-9. Tickets can be ordered by calling 603-279-0333 or at www.winnipesaukeeplayhouse. org. The Winnipesaukee Playhouse also offers free educational programs in conjunction with each

Hebron Fair Celebrates 65 Years on July 29 In 1952, when the ladies of the Friendly Circle in the quaint little Hebron Church started a small food and craft sale, they could not have imagined how large the event w o u l d become.

Sixty-five years later the annual Hebron Fair is the place to be on the last Saturday of July. It has grown into one of the biggest and most popular summer events in the Newfound Area. Admission is free, rain or shine, with proceeds benefitting the Union Congregational Church of Hebron.

On Saturday, July 29, the festivities begin at 9 am on the picturesque Hebron Common with the traditional ringing of the church bell. This year about 100 vendors and non-profit organizations will spread across the green, selling their crafts, foods and specialty items.

There will also be home-baked goods, plants and garden vegetables, Hebron Fair t-shirts, old fashioned children’s games, the ever-popular dunking booth, horse rides, used books, white elephant with $5-a-bag bargains, rummage, gift

basket raffles, the silent and live auctions, lunch featuring homemade baked beans, plus lots more family fun.

(Please note there will be no Chicken BBQ this year.)

The silent auction runs from 11 am to 2 pm. The live auction starts at 1 pm and will be led once again by Rev. “Honest John” Fischer. (Although he is retired, Rev. Fischer has agreed to be the guest auctioneer!) The auction includes all sorts of fantastic pre-owned treasures, as well as a multitude of new items and gift certificates generously donated by local businesses.

In addition, there will be a $2-a-Bag Sale the following day, Sunday, July 30, from 11:30 to 1:30 pm in the church basement. There are always great items left from the “Hebron Boutique” rummage sale. Come stuff a shopping bag full of clothes for only $2! Also on Sunday, check out what’s remaining under the white elephant and book tents.

Lakes Region Curling Association Returns for Third Season Do you love the Winter Olympics but find that you can’t make it to PyeongChang for the coming Olympiad? Then do the next best thing: play an Olympic sport right here in the Lakes Region.

Curling, the sport that originated in medieval Scotland, will be getting big-time television coverage come February 2018. When everyone else is talking about it, you can be playing as part of the Lakes Region Curling Association (LRCA).

LRCA leagues are for men and women of all ages and experience levels.

Participants can join individually, as couples, or as entire teams. The upcoming fall season runs for eight Sunday evenings from mid-October to mid-December at Pop Whalen Ice Arena in Wolfeboro. There’s no equipment to buy, and new members get an introduction to the basics of the game at a learn-to-curl session before the season begins. Registration for the fall season begins now. For more information and for registration forms, check out the LRCA’s web site at lakescurlingnh.org.

LRCA curling experiences are designed for participants of all ages, for

STORE

Cold Beer & Ice Food - Supplies & More

men and women, and for people of varied abilities.

Participants in the LRCA’s fall league will be free to organize their own teams of four to six members, but organizers will also create teams for individuals who do not have one already formed.

A game of curling consists of two four-member teams, with each team “throwing” (that is, sliding) eight polished granite stones toward a bullseye target known as “the house.” A game consists of six to ten “ends” during which players on the two teams alternate throwing two stones apiece.

While most of us are familiar with the classic sliding delivery in curling, players may also throw their stones using a special push stick that enables the player to walk towards the delivery point and slide a stone without the need to stoop.

Points are allocated to the team whose stones come to rest closest to the center of the house. A team is allowed to hit the opposing team’s stones in order to move them away from the center of the house. Consequently, curling, which has been described as “chess on ice,” is a game of strategy as well as dexterity.

Chillin’ While Grillin’ - Seafood Success on the Grill

By Chef Kelly Ross Although fresh seafood is readily available to lucky New Englanders year round, there is nothing better than cooking it during the summer, and yes, on the grill. Whether it is fish or shellfish, almost all of it can be done on the grill and for the most part, it’s not as tricky as cooking most meats.

Yes, if you’re not paying attention, it is quite easy to overcook the product.

However, it is fairly simple. Many get overwhelmed when grilling things they are not comfortable with or have experience with, but after one time, you’ll feel like a seasoned veteran.

As with many meats, it’s all about the marinades, sauces, and accouterments.

When it comes to fish, the grilling of swordfish, salmon, and tuna work out great.

Ideally you are looking for a firm fish and not one that crumbles and flakes once cooked.

served with a fresh fruit salsa.- Fresh Swordfish, 6-8 oz. portions, about ¾ of an inch thick, which you can find at any seafood counter in just about any supermarket - Orange marmalade, one tbsp.. per portion of swordfish - A splash of orange juice, enough to thin out the marmalade - Fresh chopped ginger, 1/2 tsp. per portion of swordfish - Teriyaki sauce, ½ tsp per portion of swordfish - The salsa can be whatever fruits you like. I generally go with papaya, cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon

The use of fresh herbs, fruit and vegetables make for a great swordfish dinner. Here is one of my favorite recipes. It is a grilled swordfish, lightly marinated in orange and ginger and

• Grillin’ Continued from page 43 and apple. I also add a little of the orange juice, and some chopped fresh cilantro. Salsa can be made a day in advance.

You can put your marinade together a day in advance also if you would like, but do not marinade the swordfish until about 30 to 45 minutes before grilling.

The citrus will give the swordfish great flavor but over-marinating will toughen the fish as the citrus will cook the fish.

Make sure your grill is hot and also sprayed with pan release, especially where the sugar of the marmalade/ juice will stick to the grill without the spray.

No matter what I cook, I live and die by the pan spray. Once you place the swordfish on the grill, close the grill, let cook for 2-3 minutes, then give a quarter turn and let go for another 3

minutes and close again. This will leave you great looking grill marks.

Flip the fish over and let go another 3 minutes or so and that should just about do it, depending on how thick the cut is. Do not overcook.

As for the salsa, I will usually drain the juice from it just before serving.

With a spoon, I like to place the salsa over half the swordfish and some on the plate to the side of the fish. It makes for a great presentation and it’s a tasty blend of flavors.

Serve with a light salad or some grilled asparagus and maybe rice or a potato of your liking and you have yourself a great and refreshing summertime meal.

One of my all-time-favorite foods is a great sandwich. I am about to share one that I do frequently for summertime crowds. As much as we all love burgers and hotdogs, there are

times you need to step it up a bit. It is raw chicken juices from contaminating a twist on a chicken teriyaki sandwich. your kitchen.

The Mount Washington Observatory has been operating a continuously staffed scientific outpost on a remote peak since 1932, providing the Observatory with information on many remarkable storms and an intimate knowledge of the mountain.

Through the years, the hearty men and women of the Observatory have experienced whiteout blizzards, stunning 100-mile vistas and everything in between. They’ve survived a 230-mile wind gust, endless days of disorienting fog and snow drifts more than 20 feet tall. They have worked with scientists and celebrities, students and snow rangers. And they have amassed one of North America’s longest continuous climate records.
