Take a Cruise with the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center

By Sarah Wright My family loves the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness and we visit every year, but this year I wanted to take one of their hosted cruises on Squam Lake. We’ve already explored the heck out of Lake Winnipesaukee, being that we live near its shores, so I thought it would be interesting to explore another well known, nearby lake. I chose the Lake Explorers Family Cruise, since it’s geared toward kids. Not only would we be enjoying the breeze on a beautiful lake, but my kids would get a lesson in lake ecology as well.

Margaret Gillespie, a naturalist on the education staff of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, was our guide for the voyage, assisted by Susan Jayne.

After the kids got into their life jackets, our pontoon boat left the docks. We set off in the glacier-formed Squam Lake. Margaret handed everyone a set of binoculars, and right away we saw a couple of mallard duck families. But we were on a loon hunt. I had only seen loons in photos, so I was eager to see one in action. Sure enough, we soon spotted two loon heads above the water. Unfortunately, by the time I looked through my binoculars, they had already dived down under the water for food. They are extremely fast swimmers, so when they pop back up again, they could be quite a ways from where you first saw them. Margaret had a quiz question for us: What other bird is most closely related to the loon?

A loon nesting area.

Was it ducks, geese, or penguins? The answer surprised me, because they’re related to penguins! Perhaps that’s why they’re such great swimmers.

Squam is a fairly quiet lake, which makes it a great place to look for wildlife. Passing Potato Island, Hubble Island, and later Moon Island, we came across just a couple of boats, a canoe, and some fisherman, probably out trying to catch some bass. A few people on our boat spotted a heron, and then we found a few more loons, diving for food. It seemed like a lot of loons to me, but they are in fact endangered, their population dwindling for numerous reasons, most often from swallowing

lead fishing tackle. (Recent legislation has finally passed to try to curb this harmful problem.) Thankfully, there are organizations across the country helping the loons, like the Loon Preservation Committee in Moultonborough. In fact, one highlight of the boat ride was passing by a nesting raft, placed by the Committee in Pachyderm Cove, so named because of large gray rocks and boulders in the water that resemble elephants. Nesting rafts help keep raccoons and other predators from bothering the loons and stealing their eggs. The nesting site was roped off with warning signs in place, but we had a clear view through

binoculars of a loon sitting on the nest.

It was wonderful to see.

Margaret explained to the kids on board that the red and black markers in the water were there to help direct boaters. She then powered up the engine and we zoomed out toward the middle of the lake again. Susan dropped the anchor and we stopped for the lake study part of the cruise. My kids were most excited for this part. First they lowered a Secchi disk (named for an oceanographer) into the water to see how deep it could go before it was out of sight. My older son placed a viewing tube into the water, looking through to see the disk under the water. Although the lake can reach depths of 99 feet, we hit bottom at eight meters, or just over 26 feet. Then the kids got to find out the temperature of the water at the bottom, using another contraption. Margaret helped them lower it down, and then snap it shut, trapping water inside it.

The temperature was about 64 degrees, and it felt cool. The final experiment involved dredging the muck on the bottom of the lake in search of zooplankton, which are microscopic animals. Susan helped my boys lower the dredger down. Unfortunately, it was pretty sandy where we anchored, but we still managed to see some tiny life swimming in the water sample.

After we finished playing scientist, the kids formed a line and helped heave up the anchor. On our way

The beautiful mountains and Squam Lake.

• Squam Lakes Continued from page 3 back to shore, we were in for a treat.

First we saw two more loons close to the boat, and then someone shouted, “Eagle!” Sure enough, a bald eagle flew overhead and then circled around again. It was amazing to see one in the wild. We were all scrambling for our binoculars. After the excitement died down, Margaret had more surprises.

She passed around models of a loon egg and an eagle egg for comparison, along with a loon skull and an eagle skull replica. That morning, Margaret had also gone to the marsh at the Science Center to see what she could fish out of the water. The kids passed around small jars containing golden shiner fish for up-close viewing as well as a tadpole with its back legs forming.

We had such a great time. I enjoyed the cool breeze and beautiful scenery, while my boys liked the

lake experiments the best. There was something for everyone. Lake Explorer Family Cruises are also scheduled for July 26 and August 9 at 10 am. The 90-minute cruise departs from the docks at the NH Fish & Game Boat Launch on Route 113 in Holderness, across from the Science Center.

The center also offers other 90-minute themed cruises, including the Explore SquamCcruise, Nature of the Lakes, Bald Eagle Adventure, Loon Cruise, and a Dinner and Sunset Cruise. These other cruises depart from the dock on Route 3 at the bridge, next to Walter’s Basin Restaurant in downtown Holderness. The cruises take place on canopied pontoon boats, so space is limited.

Great Music from Great Waters at the Nick On Friday, July 29, Great Waters Music Festival will present Great Waters Music at The Nick. The concert will feature four local acts starting at 7 pm, outdoors at the beautiful Nicholas J. Pernokas Recreational Park (The Nick) at 10 Trotting Track Road in Wolfeboro. Some seating will be provided, but concertgoers are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs.

Headlining the performance will be The Carolyn Ramsay Band (CRB) - a collaboration of musical talent brought to life by Carolyn Ramsay, lead vocals and rhythm guitar; Jessica Ramsay, lead vocals, harmony and rhythm guitar; Chuck Farrell, lead guitar; Bud Clark, bass guitar; and Mike Chatigny, percussion and back-up vocals.

After knowing one another for years, the group formally formed the band in 2012 with the goal of doing what they are passionate about and bringing music to central New Hampshire.

Ash Fischbein started playing guitar at the age of 8, when his parents bought him a $40 Harmony acoustic guitar. Falling in love with this instrument, plastic strings and all, he began his journey.

He had about six years of professional lessons and in high school became active in the Music Department, taking every music course available.

In 2003 and 2004, Ash, a graduate of Kingswood Regional High School in Wolfeboro, recorded the Music Department’s Christmas Pops concert and produced in his own studio a CD for the students to sell as a fundraiser for a trip to New York City. This resulted in donations of more than $1,000, helping the students meet their fund raising goals.

In 2007, Ash released his debut CD

recorded without overdubbing or needless editing. His songs range from country to acoustic pop to instrumentals.

Ash is the co-founder/owner of the Sap House Meadery in Center Ossipee, along with Hobbs Tavern and Brewing Co. in West Ossipee. In 2014 he won the NH SBA Young Entrepreneur of

By Request Next Cate Park Concert

By Request, a pop and rock cover band based in the New Hampshire Seacoast area, will be playing as part of the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand’s free summer concert series on July 30.

The group consists of five members who each bring individual musical backgrounds and experiences to the stage. Christine Faulkner is one of the group’s vocalists, while Craig Faulkner also provides vocals and plays keyboard. Dennis Munroe is the band’s guitar player, Tom O’Malley plays on drums and Jon Wilkins is the band’s bass player.

The band members have known one another for years and met while working as professional musicians and actors in a local theater. The group came together while performing an annual benefit concert in which patrons of the theater would ‘request’ songs for the band to perform. Enjoying their playing time together, the band decided to make it a permanent thing and formed By Request.

www.thelaker.com Your Where-To-Go, What-To-Do Guide

By Request will perform on Saturday, July 30, at the Wolfeboro Community for the Lakes Bandstand in Cate Region Park.

The group officially formed in 2014 and has been playing at local clubs, public events and private functions throughout the area.

The band’s sound can best be described as “fun upbeat music with something for everyone.”

The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand welcome musicians to the bandstand on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in Cate Park each Saturday night throughout July and August.

The concerts begin at 7 pm and run for two hours with a short intermission.

The concerts are presented free of charge, but a pass-the-bucket collection is taken during the intermission to help the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand continue to present the free summer concert series.

If inclement weather is in the forecast, the show may be cancelled.

A cancellation notice will be posted online at wolfeborobandstand.org and a sign will be posted at the entrance to Cate Park near the town docks.

Grace Metalious, author of Peyton Place.

Grace in Gilmanton Exactly 60 years ago—and shortly after she moved to Gilmanton— novelist Grace Metalious published her 1956 blockbuster, Peyton Place, which aired the pettiness, the crimes and the carnality of, ahem, a small town in New Hampshire. Metalious died in 1964, but to many Gilmantonites, her words still sting as a condemnation of the town that they love. Rumors abound as to how she spent her eight years in Gilmanton.

To set the record straight, Grace’s daughter, Marsha Duprey, will speak,

along with University of Southern Maine professor Ardis Cameron, author of Unbuttoning America: A Biography of Peyton Place. A lively discussion is sure to ensue. The event will take place on Friday July 29 at 7 pm at the Scriven Arts Colony. The Colony is located at 452 NH Route 140, Gilmanton.

British Comedy Next on Playhouse Stage A country house in England

would appear to be an idyllic spot for

a weekend getaway, but when three grown-up siblings and their significant others all end up under the same roof, long-time rivalries and romantic entanglements come bubbling to the surface. Alan Ayckbourn’s comedy Living Together shows family drama at its funniest! It runs through July 30 at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse.

Written and set in the 1970s, Living Together is part of The Norman Conquests, a series of plays written around the same six characters. It features Norman, his wife Ruth, her siblings Reg and Annie, and their respective partners, Sarah and Tom. It was turned into a three-part television mini-series, which debuted on PBS in 1978 featuring an all-star British cast including Richard Briers, Penelope Keith, Tom Conti, David Troughton, Fiona Walker and Penelope Wilton.

Commonly regarded as the British Neil Simon, Alan Ayckbourn is a master of comedy. He has written over 70 plays, many of which deal with topics to which the average person can relate: marriage, parenting, family relations, social climbing, and romance.

Last summer, the Playhouse’s

production of Table Manners, also part of The Norman Conquests, became the best-selling play in the Playhouse’s history. Living Together features the same cast, including Annie (Rebecca Tucker), the youngest of the siblings, who is single and still living in the family home while taking care of her

invalid mother. She is often visited

by Tom (Jason Plourde) a local veterinarian and inattentive boyfriend.

Craving a weekend away, she asks her oldest brother, Reg (Richard

Brundage), and his wife Sarah (Molly Parker Myers) to take over duties at home. Little do Reg and Sarah know, but Annie’s weekend away features a romantic tryst with Norman (Nicholas Wilder), who is married to her sister, Ruth (Suzanne Kimball). When her older siblings are let in on her plot, chaos ensues as all three siblings and their partners suddenly find themselves under one roof, where long-time resentments come to the boil with sentimental yet humorous results.

Living Together is the third play of the summer season performed at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse campus in Meredith.

L.I.F.E. Ministries Food Pantry Benefit Concert July 31 As a part of L.I.F.E. Ministries Hunger Relief Weekend, local musicians are donating their time and talents to present a musical variety concert on Sunday, July 31 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 1970s and 80s 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 L.I.F.E. Ministry’s Food Pantry over the past several years, presenting well-known folk musicians at the Old White Church in Tuftonboro. This will be her first time to contribute her own talents to the cause.

The Starlight Honeys use tight threepart vocal harmony coupled with banjo,

The Starlight Honeys mandolin, guitar, percussion and bass to create the unique sound that is the blend of old time and new folk tunes.

The Honeys perform a diverse mix of original songs and covers. The band was honored to win the 2016 WMWV radio stations Song of the Year Contest with their original song “Ten Rod Road.” The Starlight Honeys started as a trio nearly four years ago with Roger Sorlien, Samantha (Sam) Tracy, and Katie O’Connell. You may catch them as a trio and also often performing with three very talented friends and family members. The Honeys are excited to be part of the Wolfeboro Food Pantry’s fundraising concert and are looking forward to seeing you there.

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.

Mark Dearborn has been playing instruments since he was 7 years old.

His father had a tenor banjo and guitar

(four-stringed) and Mark learned to play his first song, “Little Brown Jug.” In the 1970s he started experimenting on his guitars to make them play better.

That was the start of his journey to becoming a luthier (one who repairs and builds stringed instruments, other than pianos in his case). As well as performing on many different instruments, Mark is a songwriter.

First Congregational Church of Wolfeboro BellTones has been ringing for decades, providing a beautiful bell sound for the congregation and for others in the community during

special events. Recently Cathy Marker, an accomplished organist and music director, has taken over leadership of the bell choir bringing much innovation to their sound. While you will still hear the beautiful rich tones traditionally associated with bell choirs, you will also hear the bells played in unique ways. The bells might be struck with a soft hammer like object or a stick might be drawn along the edge of the bell creating a singing sound.

Sometimes the bells are played against the foam tabletop creating a plunking sound. Come and enjoy this diverse presentation.

Please remember that 100 percent of the 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 in Wolfeboro and from volunteers at the raffle sales tables at Hunters and Harvest Markets on Friday, July 29 from 4 to 6 pm; Saturday, July 20 from 9:30 am to 1 pm and on Sunday, July 31 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.

Happenings in Sandwich

By Diane Cook Johnson The Samuel H. Wentworth Library in Center Sandwich will host an evening summer barbecue prepared by the Sandwich Fire Department on Saturday, July 30 at 6 pm. After dinner there will be music and a fundraising raffle of one of the library’s most treasured icons: The WGBH/TV PBS Moosehead. The moose, “Vincent”, held an honored place above the library fireplace since 1998 and before that graced the television studio set of WGBH’s Mystery Theater program in Boston for many years when it was hosted

by Vincent Price.

This fun event will take place on the front lawn of the library (in case of rain, it will take place at the Craft Building at the Fair Association.) The Raffle Drawing will take place at 6:30 pm. Dinner tickets can be reserved by calling the library at 284-6665 or email sandwichlibrary@gmail.com.

Dinner includes a delicious chicken barbeque with all the fixings, beverage, and dessert. Music will start at approximately 7 pm.

The moose head came into the possession of former WGBH Executive, Mark Duffield who donated this famous piece of memorabilia in 1998 to The Samuel H. Wentworth Library and to his lifelong friend John Perkins who at the time was the head librarian. Mr. Duffield has kindly consented to travel to Center Sandwich to join us for the festivities and to speak about the history of the moose head and answer questions about WGBH. For a collector of unique

memorabilia or a fan of WGBH’s MYSTERY program, this is a wonderful piece to own and a wonderful way to support your local library. “I am delighted to be a part of it and look forward to meeting everyone,” said Mark Duffield. Mark is currently Executive Producer of Ray Brown’s Talkin’ Birds radio program and has authored two books, The Last Shepard and As I Recall: Fireflies in the Night. The Last Shepard is currently under consideration for a movie.

Sandwich Historical Society On Wednesday, July 27 at 7 pm, Jim Mykland will again host a Picture Night to view photos from the Sandwich Historical Society’s vault; this was very well attended when the first program was held in March and the July 27 event will offer a totally different set of photos.

This will be held at the Sandwich Town Hall to provide unobstructed views.

The 2016 Exhibit in the Wentworth Room at the Elisha Marston House Museum is titled, “Old Highways: North Sandwich to the Notch.” It features then-andnow videos, photos, and stories from those two sections of town.

Stop by to see a model of Durgin Covered Bridge, a Civil War drum, discover the Quimby family of North Sandwich, Cornelius Weygandt’s Sandwich neighbors, the girls’ camp on Diamond Ledge, and the Beebe River Railroad. The Marston House Museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm; admission is free.

Garden Railroad Display The New Hampshire Garden Railway Society’s traveling exhibit will be on display at the Heritage Park Railroad Museum in Union on Saturday and Sunday, July 30 and 31.

The outdoor operating display features G-scale locomotives and freight cars running on rails 1-7/8 inches apart. Built by Society members, the display is 35-feet long and 22-feet wide, elevated one foot above the ground.

Garden railroads are large-scale model railroads, which are operated mainly outdoors on permanently installed track. A formidable challenge for the garden railroader is knowing the materials and techniques to be used in constructing an outdoor railroad that can withstand weather conditions.

The size of the locomotives requires a lot of space for operation and the scale encourages many modelers to work with live steam so they are popular with outdoor settings. Fired by butane, alcohol or propane to heat the water, live steam powered locomotives

provide great realism and excitement for both the hobbyist as well as the viewer.

Other power sources for radiocontrolled operation are AC/DC electric, solar and battery power.

Garden railroads get their name from the fact that they are installed in a garden environment, and usually landscaped with living plants to add to the scenery. Many garden railroading hobbyists enjoy the combination of railroading and gardening and often times become amateur horticulturalists in order to provide the model railroad components with a realistic low maintenance appearance amongst nature’s vegetation.

The New Hampshire Garden Railway Society’s operating display can be viewed from noon to 4 pm on July 30 and 31 at the Heritage Park Railroad Museum, 1 Chapel Street in Union.

Admission is free. The Wakefield Heritage Commission administers the Heritage Park Railroad Museum. Visit www.historicwakefieldnh.com.

Lots Going on at Wolfeboro Library!

Travel Writer to Speak on Hiking With Kids Hiking enthusiasts and anyone looking for some inspiration to get their family out on the trails are invited to a talk by author Dan Szczesny at Wolfeboro Public Library on Wednesday, July 27 at 6:30 pm.

Szczesny is a busy NH-based journalist who began his career in Buffalo, NY. Since then, he has written for a wide variety of regional and national publications. He is one of the owners of The Hippo, a NH arts and entertainment paper. His published books include The Nepal Chronicles, about a month-long trek to Everest Base Camp and his marriage in Kathmandu. His latest book, Mosquito Rain: Alaskan Travel Essays, is an illustrated travelogue of Dan and his wife’s journey to discover the true meaning of the Last Frontier.

When Dan and his then nine-year-old foster daughter, Janelle, first set foot on the trail to Mt. Kearsarge in November 2011, neither of them knew that this easy hike to one of the state’s most popular mountain tops would change both their lives. But what followed was a yearlong hiking odyssey that saw the two hikers crisscrossing the state on their way to a 225-mile epic attempt to complete a little-known hiking list called “The 52 with a View.” All in New Hampshire, each peak is less than 4,000 feet but offers a divine vista. Dan wrote a very enjoyable book that is a narrative of their experiences called The Adventures of Buffalo and Tough

OUTLETS

Cookie. The book serves as the jumping off place for his July 27 program, which will include information on great trails, food and other preparation for hikes, and taking the littlest ones on treks.

This event will take place in the library’s handicapped accessible meeting room, and is free of charge and open to the public. Szczesny will have copies of his books available for sale and signing after the presentation.

For more information about Dan Szczesny and his writing and hiking experiences, visit his website at www. danszczesny.wordpress.com.

Genetic Genealogy The Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group will present a program on using DNA for genealogy on Thursday, July 28, 6:30 pm at the Library. If you are interested in DNA testing for family history, or floundering along the way, this may be just what you are looking for. Millions of people have already tested, and savvy genealogists use the test results to better understand their ethnicity and family connections. The program is free and open to all.

RETAIL

The presentation will start with video training by Diahan Southard of Your DNA Guide on getting started in genetic genealogy. Topics include getting ready to start DNA testing for family history, getting the most out of your test results, and understanding the three most important DNA questions: “Which test should I take?” “What will I get from testing?” and “Will it help?”

Southard has worked with the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation, and has been in the genetic genealogy industry since it has

been an industry. She holds a degree in Microbiology and her creative side helps her break the science up into bitesized pieces. She is the author of the DNA guides Getting Started: Genetics for Genealogists, and Y Chromosome DNA for Genealogists.

Following the video, Dee Ide, of the Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group, will lead a discussion, which will include participation from other members who have had their DNA tested. Bring a family member or friends, and hear why so many genealogists have hopped on the DNA testing bandwagon. The Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group is free and open to all those with an excitement for genealogy - beginner or professional. Monthly meetings are held the last Thursday evening of the month at the library. For more information please call Cindy Scott at the Wolfeboro Public Library at 5692428.

Artist Betty Flournoy Brown Featured at Wolfeboro Public Library and the Libby Museum If you are an expert art lover or a beginner, don’t miss the chance to view the unique paintings of artist, Betty Flournoy Brown, in two venues in Wolfeboro this summer.

The artist attended the University of South Florida, earning a degree in Fine Art and Education. Betty’s postgraduate study was at the Museum School of Fine Arts, Art Institute of New Hampshire and Sanctuary Arts of Eliot, Maine. Between 1985 and 2010, Ms. Flournoy Brown worked as an art educator at Kingswood Regional High School, Brewster Academy and Wolfeboro Camp School. From 2010 through 2016, painting on location became her focus, including excursions to the White Mountains, Castle in the Clouds, around the Lakes Region, Scarborough Marshes, Falmouth Audubon and Cape Elizabeth.

Ms. Flournoy Brown’s artwork is at the Wolfeboro Library in South Main Street in Wolfeboro for the summer.

She explained her work at the library is part of a body of work that focuses on the warming earth and transient time. Two thirds are painted directly on location. Rather than connect with

the viewer about a particular location, Ms. Flournoy Brown asks the viewer to relate to changes of time, changes in temperature, and changes in light. This work sits on the edge of abstraction.

At the Libby Museum, 755 N. Main Street in Wolfeboro, Ms. Flournoy Brown is Artist of the Month for July.

Many of the paintings at the Libby Museum are studies by Ms. Flournoy Brown.

Lauren Hammond, a fellow artist and co-director of the Libby Museum, says, “We are happy to have the chance to feature Betty Flournoy Brown’s work for the month of July as our Artist of the Month. She uses complementary colors that heighten light and emotion to depict the time of day. She is able to incorporate light values in a unique way. We invite everyone to take a moment to relax and view this talented artist’s work when visiting our museum.”

The artist often creates her work in groups, described thus as statements of color; this is evident in the exhibits in both the Wolfeboro Library and the Libby. She explains, “My orange series connects with the earth warming,

change, time, location and color associations with heat.

“My blue series connects with time passing as the earth rotates. Multiple blues relating to multiple times of daylight and nightlight interact with landscape colors.”

Ms. Flournoy Brown explained that when painting on location, she uses “gestural marks” to explore the transience of the natural world, choosing colors and marks that best express random movement and the passage of time. Gestural is a term used to describe the application of paint in free, sweeping gestures. The term “Gestural Abstraction” emphasizes the process of making art, sometimes through a variety of techniques that include dripping, dabbing or smearing. These energetic techniques depend on broad actions directed by the artist’s sense of control, interacting with chance or random occurrences. In her paintings, classical structure sits on the edge of abstraction.

Mark Rothko, Cy Trombly, and Joan Mitchell are some of the artists that inspire Ms. Brown’s work.

After viewing her work at the

Wolfeboro Library and the Libby Museum, the artist’s work can also by seen in the following New Hampshire places: Azure Rising Gallery, Wolfeboro; The Museum of the White Mountains, Plymouth; the Bernerhof Inn, Glenn; Red Jacket Inn, North Conway; and the office of John Libby CPA, Moultonboro.

Annie & the Orphans Dinner Dance Come and enjoy an evening of music, food and dancing at the Moultonborough Historical Society’s summer fundraiser on August 6 from 5:30 to 10 pm at the Moultonborough Lion’s Club Hall on Old Route 109 in Moultonborough.

It All Starts with a Cuppa: A Marina in the Family Since 1792

By Barbara Neville Wilson “Normally I would jet ski from the marina,” says our new friend as she joins us at our table at Wolfeboro’s Downtown Grille overlooking the Bay. My friends and I have met at the same table at 7 am every Tuesday morning for nearly four years.

I wipe a crumb of pistachio muffin from my lip as she settles down with her coffee and adjusts her glasses.

“Hi, I’m Marye,” she says and we all introduce ourselves. That morning and other Tuesdays pass by, and we gradually learn she moves up from Massachusetts every summer to “just pump gas” at the family business, Roberts Cove Basin in Alton.

However, it turns out that Marye comes from a long line of selfdeprecating Roberts. She does a lot more than “just pump gas” at the marina, where they rent boat slips and provide launch and storage facilities, too. And apparently “family business” at Roberts Cover Basin doesn’t just refer to the grandchildren and greatgrandchildren working at the marina founded by Charles Roberts.

It means extending their family to the 80 or so boaters who rent slips, year after year, generation after generation.

They build community through chowder feasts and spaghetti feeds.

Many families live on their boats all

summer long, and while Marye’s is the consistent face dockside, 14 or 15 other cousins take turns, too.

How does that work? I wonder.

Fascinated by the history behind the Basin, I pepper Marye with questions.

“How did the marina get started?”

“How long has the land been in the family?”

“My cousin Richard knows a lot more about family history than I do,” she replies. She tells me I should talk to

him when it’s his week to work, and by the way, Wednesdays are the slowest day.

A couple Wednesdays later, I head south from Wolfeboro and turn right at the second entrance to Roberts Cove Road. I wind my way down the road past a cozy cottage colony and lots of woods, then see a beautiful brown antique cape with majestic open fields down to Winnipesaukee.

It’s for sale, but that’s not on my “to do” list today. When I see a sign for Roberts Cove Basin right afterwards, though, I wonder if the Roberts have any affiliation to that cape. I will ask Richard.

I park my car and round the Basin toward the small gray building where Marye says I’ll find Richard. Sure enough, he’s there, and first thing he says is a disclaimer. He warns me “family lore may exceed the facts.”

He excuses himself to serve a boat that has pulled into the docks. While he runs into the office to record the transaction, I ask the boat owners, Joel and Jocelin, if the Basin is a common stop for them. Oh yes, they say. They dock at another marina, but they avoid the hustle and bustle there by gassing up their 22’ Stingray at Roberts Cove Basin. Joel has a last thought as they head out, “It’s family here. Isn’t that

Richard and I get back to history.

The marina was officially started in 1956 by Charlie Roberts as a sort of retirement job, says Richard. He had farmed and was a builder and contractor well known in the area. He carved out the marina by dredging out a swamp, and sixty years later, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren take turns servicing the boats of the Joel and Jocelin and other families that were here way back then.

Roberts Cove Basin has been in the Roberts family much, much longer, though. Some in the family say it came as a King’s Grant, says Richard, or perhaps ceded to the Roberts by Royal Governor Wentworth. The thing he knows for sure is they were living on the land at least as early as 1792.

Antique histories are sketchy on the facts, too. The 1885 History of Merrimack and Belknap Counties, New Hampshire Part 2 reproduces the text of historical documents that show Joseph Roberts as a Selectman and Town Clerk of New Durham Gore (the name of the region before the town’s incorporation as Alton in 1796) as early as 1778.

Yet 1897’s prestigiously named Biographical Review Containing Life Sketches of Leading Citizens of Strafford and Belknap Counties, NH indicates that perhaps the original Roberts tract, if not an outright purchase, was a grant given for Joseph’s service as a lieutenant in the

Revolutionary War. He joined the 10th New Hampshire Regiment 1775 and moved north from Portsmouth with his wife and four year-old son Richard in April of 1792, it says. There he took up a large tract of wild land and proceeded to reclaim it from the wilderness and reduce it to cultivation. He at first built a log cabin for his occupancy and here he and his family continued to live some fourteen years, when his temporal affairs, having become sufficiently prosperous, by his industry and thrift, he erected a frame house of such substantial sort that his descendants to the fourth generation have continued to occupy it ever since.

The precise date of arrival is probably less important than the cultivation and occupation of the land—including the brown cape with majestic views—and the work of Joseph and his family to improve the region for those living in it.

Not only did Joseph serve in town office, but he was willing to use his land for the public good. 1916’s Laws of New Hampshire First Constitutional Period, 1784-1792 reports that an act of state legislature in 1791 called for erection of a “suitable and Convenient Court house and prison” to be built “near the dwelling house of Joseph Roberts…in New Durham Gore.”

If the prison was ever built, though, Richard doesn’t mention it.

Generations after Joseph were equally civic-minded, though. Joseph’s son Richard was a civil engineer who returned to Alton after serving in the War of 1812 and laid out the road from his hometown to Laconia. He also

2013.

Richard says the cousins “had all gotten very comfortable that John would take care of everything,” but with his passing, everything changed.

Recognizing the precious heritage they have, cousins, grandkids, greats and several of their spouses now take turns to serve the extended family they have developed at Roberts Cove Basin.

When not at Roberts Cove Basin, Richard is a successful Connecticut lawyer. I look at him, “What do your colleagues think about your coming to work up here?”

“They joke about me going off to my ‘summer job,’” he says, “But once they hear about the people here still getting along so cooperatively, they say ‘That’s so cool.’ I look forward to getting back here every year.”

Perhaps Joseph Roberts would have said he “just cleared land” in 1778 when he first served New Durham Gore as selectman, and son Richard “just measured roads” in the early 1800s.

In 1956, Charlie “just cleaned out a swamp,” and in the 2000s, grandson John “just helped people out.”

Marye, Richard and their cousins, may say they “just pump gas” at Roberts Cove Basin, taking turns with their cousins Tom, Lynn, Ann and Jillian, among other. But like so many Roberts before them, they are “worthy representative[s] of an old and highly respected family, one of the oldest in Alton.”

served two terms in the state legislature and his son Sewell did the same.

By 1883, when Sewell’s son S. Edson received the family Homestead, it comprised 350 acres, and he became known for progressive farming techniques that led to a successful dairy operation. The Roberts had occupied the land around Roberts Cove Basin for a century, and the Biographical Review pronounced S. Edson “proud of the record both of his family and his mansion [not necessarily meaning luxurious residence in those days], and here, too, he carefully and sacredly preserves, to transmit to his descendants, many a precious ancestral heirloom and relic of bygone day.” He was a “worthy representative of an old and highly respected family, one of the oldest in Alton.”

Although the original tract of land has been whittled down year by year, and the family home at the top of the hill sold in the 1960s, the Marina has continued to be home base for generations of Charlie’s children, grandchildren and great-grands. He’s getting on in years, but son Irving is still very actively involved in the business and known for the July 4th parade he organizes on Roberts Cove Road each year.

Sometimes tragedies have been blessings in disguise. In the early 2000s, Irving’s son John had taken on management tasks at the Basin. Like his ancestors, he was a generous man, serving his community, his family and the marina: “he was available to all— even when he wasn’t available,” as his obituary said after his sudden death in

Wooden You Like A Boat Ride?

By Barbara Neville Wilson It’s going to be hot this afternoon, but right now a refreshing breeze crosses Wolfeboro Bay. My watch says 8:25. The water is flat. Most vacationers still sleep.

It’s easy to imagine I’m living in a quieter time when speed was still new on the lakes. I look with anticipation to the tightly wrapped silhouette of the “Millie B” just off the pier. She’s a 28-ft. replica 1928 mahogany HackerCraft.

Captain Dennis Schauer soon arrives and after brief introductions, he heads down to “undress the old girl,” he says. He unclasps canvas and gives a running commentary about his passion for wooden boats (started with the purchase of a 28-ft. 1930 Garwood in Minnesota in the ’70s), his admiration for Dick and Kathy Eaton who brought the “Millie B” to Wolfeboro (do I know that new ones like it sell for $250$300,000 at Goodhue & Hawkins Navy Yard across the Bay?), and some of his favorite reasons people have for taking a ride on the “Millie B” (weddings, romantic sunset cruises and people who come back to explore old haunts and camps after many years away.)

Except for its engine, and an expanded middle seat where a standard bench seat would have been, the “Millie B” is a complete reproduction of a triple cockpit 1928 Hacker-Craft.

While the original was a speedboat for its time, skippers around when it was first introduced would probably drool on the Chevy Big Block 454 that powers this one.

Dennis was in the forefront of the movement that sparked appreciation for wooden boats in the 1970s. In fact, the very first meeting of the American Classic Boat Society was held in Boston only two years before he bought his first boat. “Not that many

Spend

people were interested before that,” he says. In fact, many wooden boats were being taken to the dump or burned because they were just sitting in some guy’s backyard rotting.

In just a short 50 years, boats that had been in the forefront of speed and technology between World War I and World War II, had been sidelined by less expensive, less labor-intensive plywood kit boats for hobby and fiberglass hulls for speed. But in the 1970s, when people were tiring of things mass-produced and learning to appreciate craftsmanship again, wooden boat restoration and collecting began to thrive. “You could pay just $500 for a rare boat. Of course, then you had to restore it” but you could do a lot of it yourself. If you needed help, “you could get a guy charging $15 an hour.”

Undressed now, the “Millie B’s” long bow deck gleams in the bright sun. The bold and gold “New Hampshire Boat Museum” lettering shimmers.

Dennis waves me over to the dock and hands me into the boat. I am careful to step only on the designated rubber pad sporting “Hacker-Craft” on the gunnel. I’m a little squeamish to step directly onto the bottle green

“Where Everything You Touch Turns Delicious”

cushion in the middle cockpit, but I follow Dennis’s lead.

He turns the key and after an early morning throat clearing, the “Millie B” engine comes to life. We idle a few minutes, and the deck mate rings a bell to let Dennis know the way is clear for him to back away from the dock. We talk and slowly head out Wolfeboro Bay. When I was assigned this story, I reached out to Dennis because he is president of the New England Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society (NECABS). Who better to ask about getting a ride in a classic boat? I didn’t know he was involved with the “Millie B,” too.

I’m starting to realize that boat organizations around the lake are collaborating more and more. I spoke to a number of people who cross-pollinate their boating interests when I attended the New Hampshire Boat Museum’s Antique Boat and Classic Car Auction just two days ago. I know many members of the Wolfeboro Corinthian Yacht Club are also involved with other boating programs. Is this becoming common elsewhere, too? Dennis nods.

“There are collaborations across the country with boat clubs,” he agrees.

After many years in Meredith and at Weirs Beach, NECABS will be holding its Antique and Classic Boat Show in Wolfeboro Bay this year (July 30 at the Town Docks), and Dennis is complimentary about the collaborations the Society has seen as they prepare. There will be space for boats to be displayed for sale, as well as ship’s stores and, of course, the sale of artist Peter Ferber’s Boat Show poster prints. Ferber’s art has been a fixture of the show for 10 or more years now, thanks to a relationship master boat restorer Phil Spencer built with the artist.

There will be a “lot of great-looking boats,” July 30, says Dennis, and there are “always some rare ones” even boats worth a million dollars. But there’s something for everyone. “There will be old music and 20s jazz running and a People’s Choice award.”

It’s likely the show will draw “some guys really campaigning their boats.”

Campaigners are enthusiasts who have recently finished a restoration and are collecting judges’ comments to build a resume for the boat—and recognition for the hard work they put in. “A couple years ago, we had a guy who had just finished a Canadian launch. It was a beautiful thing.”

Dennis says there are a lot of old boats on Winnipesaukee, probably because it’s “always been a hotbed of majorly famous boats here.” He mentions the fleet of “Miss Winnipesaukees” that gave rides at Weirs Beach. Fast boats need lots of space, and Winnipesaukee has that. The lake was a real draw in the 20s when Gold Cup-worthy boats—Chris Crafts, Hacker-Crafts and Garwoods–would fly across it.

We’re far enough away from the docks now, so Dennis says, “We’re • Millie B Continued on page 29

Cool Old Stuff at the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum people who lived before us and I have always wanted to know how others lived and what their lives were like.

I also wanted to visit the museum because I have not been there for a while and I wanted to see what was new. Turns out there are many new/old things at the museum. So if you like old photos, signs, postcards, written material and memorabilia of the Lakes Region, this is definitely a wonderful place to spend a few hours (or longer, as I soon found out!).

I was greeted at the door my museum director, Melanie Benton. She has been with the museum for three years and knows the collection quite well.

“The Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society started in 1985,” she says.

“And the museum opened in 2005.”

She saw me gazing at the entrance hallway at a group of old photos on the wall, one of which was a black-andwhite photo of a gathering at the Weirs Veteran’s Association. The smiling faces in the photo were all looking at the photographer and in back of them could be seen the Weirs area as it looked in the early 1900s.

Story & Photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper When the Weirs Supper Club designed and printed posters in the early part of the 20th century, it is doubtful they thought those posters would be around to be enjoyed by future generations.

When Angelina Amabile created a wonderful, folk art style hooked rug of the M/S Mount Washington and Lake Winnipesaukee, it is doubtful she crafted the huge rug with the idea it would be one day be exhibited in a history museum. In all the years people took photos and collected memorabilia with a Lakes Region theme, probably no one did so with the dream that their postcards, old camp booklets, boating items and more would one day be a part of a huge collection of Lakes Region memorabilia at the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum, located next door to Funspot on Rt. 3 in Weirs Beach.

On a very hot and sunny mid-July Saturday morning, I decided to stop by the museum. Why? There are a few reasons, but first and foremost it is because I love history. Some find it dull, but for me, history tells us how we got to where we are. It is all about

Owls: An Evening of Poetry The Scriven Arts Colony was founded in 2015 to host cultural events in an old barn in Gilmanton, NH. On Saturday, August 6 at 7 pm, the Colony will present Barn Owls: An Evening of Poetry. The event will feature Gilmanton summer resident, Sharon Olson, author of the acclaimed collection, The Long Night of Flying, and Vermont poet William Stratton, a Pushcart Prize nominee

whose muscular, plainspoken poems celebrate the natural world and the grit of hardworking country people.

An additional poet, Katherine Ferrier, will bring her 1950 manual typewriter to craft spontaneous poems upon request. Ferrier is the impresario behind WREN, an art gallery and community hub in Bethlehem, NH. A question-and-answer period and open mic will follow.

I didn’t sign on for a tourist ride.

Tourists get a 45-minute tour and commentary about geographical features, history, myths and famous people who love the lake. I, on the other hand, get a peek behind the scenes. We pull up to the gas dock. A working boat needs fuel, and plenty of it. The “Millie B” gets 8-10 mpg when it’s just putt-ing along, but only 4-5 mpg when it’s opened up. The boat is billed a speedboat, so “We have to open it up,” says Dennis. His wry smile indicates he doesn’t mind that too much.

Heading back to “Millie B’s” home berth, I ask Dennis if there’s anything he wants people to know about wooden boats.

It’s important, he says, that people

understand that wooden boats are “part of our nation’s history. Much of boating is about engines and speed and [these boats are part of the] transitioning from horse and buggy and cars…If you’re in Atlanta or New York City, you might not even know” how important these boats were. “If they come to a show, they can learn history.”

And if they catch a ride on the “Millie B” or any of the countless other antique and classic boats in the Lakes Region? Then they’ll live history with wind whipping through their hair and fresh water spray on their face.

“Wooden” you like a ride?

The “Millie B” departs from the Wolfeboro Town Docks 15 minutes before the hour daily in summer and weekends through October 10. Learn more at www.nhbm.org/the-millie-b, like her on Facebook, and call the New Hampshire Boat Museum to reserve your seat: 569-4554.

• Day Tripping Continued from page 28 Melanie explained that those doing research on how Lakes Region land once looked often stop by. It might be because they are tracing a deed and need to know how a particular piece of the Lakes Region landscape looked at one time. The many old photographs in the museum’s collection are quite helpful in this way.

I should say right away that the museum is in a former home. At one time, the Bridges family owned it and they rented cottages on the property. I like that the museum still looks like a home – it is cozy and friendly and you won’t find one thing modern and hightech about the place. The walls seem to be made for the many old photos that hang there, and the former kitchen doubles now as a spot for displays as well as a gift shop with local historical books for sale.

Castle in Gilford. Once the castle was completed, and no one had any use for the ship, it was sunk in the waters not far from the Castle. At that time, the ship’s rudder broke off and it was found in 1989 in 25 feet of water and

donated to the museum.

Everywhere I look, I see old framed photos and signs that tell a story of the history of the Weirs area. Much of that history is lake related; old hotels, camps and dining and entertainment establishments sprang up over the years due to proximity to Lake Winnipesaukee.

Melanie led me to a large, attractive lecture room where a series of interesting talks by interesting people takes place each summer. In the room there are displays of ship models built

by David Warren. There is also another room reached by climbing a few steps past the lecture room.

In the space the rudder is on display as well as a floor-to-ceiling sized hooked rug. I love old rugs and I instantly fell in love with the folk art scene of the M/S Mount Washington out for a trek on the lake. Melanie says it also was donated to the museum.

The rug was hooked by Angelina

• Day Tripping Continued from page 30 Amabile, who also designed it.

Angelina passed away in 1960 with the rug only half finished. It was given to relatives Peter and Laurie Rosanelli.

They finished the rug, which measures 92-in. by 97-in. They donated it to the museum in 2012.

Many adults have fond memories of attending area summer camps and if you were among those who did so, you might want to stop by the museum to check out the old photos and booklets pertaining to summer camps in the Lakes Region. I loved the old photos of campers and counselors, as well as a fun camp booklet titled Winaukee Watchdog, with the smiling face of a young boy on the cover.

I thought I had heard of all the summer camps in the Lakes Region, but after browsing the display, I realized I wasn’t as informed as I thought. (After all, I never heard of Camp Anawan or Camp Acadia at the Weirs!)

One of the most unusual items I saw at the museum was a poster for the Reptile Zoo at Alton Bay. In historical research, I came across information on

the zoo but was surprised to find an old poster advertising bird eating spiders and giant African land snails!

If you like waterskiing, don’t miss the wonderful display of all kinds of memorabilia from the days when the Weirs area sent talented young men and women to compete in waterski nationals elsewhere. An old poster advertised the National Water Ski Championships held in Laconia in 1959 with “cooperation from the Weirs Ski Club.”

An entertainment section displayed old posters from the downtown Laconia Colonial Theater and Irwin’s Winnipesaukee Gardens, as well as the Gilford Playhouse.

Melanie also showed me the glassedin porch area where comfortable seating with chairs offers a place for those doing historical research to sit as long as needed. I loved the many notebooks and scrapbooks on a variety of Lakes Region topics such as Mail Boats on the Lake; Hotels and Lodging and even Ice Cutting in 1906!

I spent much longer at the museum than I had expected, but that is always the way it goes when I happen upon a wonderful day trip location.

Although I can’t attend (or even imagine!) a trip to dine at the Weirs Supper Club or an evening dancing at Irwin’s Winnipesaukee Garden, I have the next best thing in the many old items that tell of a time when boating on the lake was leisurely, when dining offered multi-courses and camps were

beginning.

For a definitely fun step back in time, I highly recommend a visit to the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum. The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm during the summer months. Call 366-5950 or visit www.lwhs.us.

New Hampshire Campers, “Buy It Where You Burn It!”

By Piera Siegert, State Entomologist, NH Dept.

Agriculture, Markets & Food New Hampshire’s forests are under attack by non-native insect pests like emerald ash borer, red pine scale, hemlock woolly adelgid and elongate hemlock scale. Other invasive insects, like Asian longhorned beetle and brown spruce longhorn beetle, have not yet been found in the state but are established elsewhere in the region and further threaten to harm the health of our trees. Responsible outdoor recreationists can play a critically important role in preserving the health and beauty of New Hampshire’s forested landscapes by always obtaining firewood where they will burn it.

Campfires are an integral part of the outdoor recreation experience, but transporting firewood is one of the easiest ways to move invasive wood-boring pests from one location to another.

H o w e v e r, outdoor enthusiasts can still enjoy campfires, by burning locally sourced or certified heat-treated firewood instead of bringing wood from home.

New Hampshire has made it easy for

campfire lovers to find wood close to their destination by joining Firewood Scout (www.firewoodscout.org), a free mobile-friendly

website that can be used to identify local firewood vendors. With more than 530 vendors listed in New Hampshire, Firewood Scout makes it easier than ever to conveniently find locally

sourced or certified heat-treated firewood.

Everyone preparing to enjoy beautiful forested New Hampshire, whether at a favorite campground or at a vacation home, lake house or cabin, can help prevent the spread of destructive forest pests. Reducing and preventing the introduction of invasive forest pests is as simple as: 1) leaving firewood at home and obtaining locally sourced or certified heat-treated firewood at the destination; 2) reporting tree decline concerns to local officials at www.nhbugs.org; and 3) telling friends and family about the risks of moving firewood. Outdoors enthusiasts can avoid causing a new forest pest infestation—and gain some extra space when packing the truck.

For more information, visit www. nhbugs.org or contact Piera Siegert, State Entomologist, Division of Plant Industry at 271-2561.

MetroCast Expands WiFi Coverage in Downtown Bristol

Two-Hour Cruise Boards at 6:30pm

Island Tuesdays Family-Friendly Reggae, Island Music Two-Hour Cruise Boards at 6:30pm

With demand growing for internet access in downtown Bristol, MetroCast Communications has lauched new WiFi hotspots that cover the heart of business and community space in the town, including offices, shops, and the fields and playgrounds at Kelley Park.

MetroCast Regional Manager Ed Merrill met last month with Bristol Town Administrator Nik Coates and Bill Dowey, Chairman of the newly formed Bristol Economic Development Council, to review their goals for Downtown Bristol. MetroCast WiFi hotspots were identified as a way to kep customers connected in the heart of downtown, while drawing in a committed audience for the merchants in this growing business district.

The hotspots will provide free wireless access to MetroCast Business customers and residential customers that subscribe to High Speed Turbo and

High Speed Ultra internet services.

“This advanced technology enables customers to get online when cellular coverage is not available or when they want ot save on their data plans,” says Merrill. “This is an added benefit for our Internet customers, as it allows them to use their MetroCast Internet service when outside the home.”

MetroCast, which provides video, internet, and phone services to residential and business customers in five states, expects to have more than 80 hotspots activated in its New Hampshire-Maine service area by year-end.

MetroCast customers may access the WiFi hotspots on their smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other devices with wireless capabilities. For more information about MetroCast WiFi hotspot locations, go to MetroCast. com/hotspots.

August Programs and Events at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center The final days of summer are here, but that isn’t stopping Squam Lakes Natural Science Center from providing a full schedule of events for the month of August.

The month kicks off with Nature Play Time on August 3 and again on August 17 from 10 to 11 am. Children age 3 and under are invited to join in some unstructured paly in nature. Set the stage for fun to laugh and explore the natural world together. Participants will play in a shallow stream with buckets and scoops one week and play in the forest walking on log balance beams, and making stick forts the next week. Participants can come once or every session. This program will be held outdoors so please dress accordingly.

Saturday August 6 brings the Annual Meeting for Science Center Members, from 8:30 to 10 am. The meeting starts with a complimentary continental breakfast on the Bluestone Terrace of the Webster Building. The business meeting follows in the Tamworth Pavilion beginning at 9 am and includes electing officers and trustees, honoring retiring board members, recognizing employee service, and presenting the Horizon Award. All members are welcome and encouraged to attend.

For the election slate and biographies of nominees, visit nhnature.org/ programs/annual_meeting.php. Please call 968-7194 x11 to reserve seats.

The Lake Explorers Family Cruise sets sail on August 9 from 10 to 11:30 am. This special cruise is for families with children ages 5 and over.

Experience the excitement of Squam Lake as active explorers. This cruise gives children an opportunity to use binoculars, search for Common Loons, collect microscopic life, watch live fish, participate in a scavenger hunt, and test their navigational abilities.

Get on board for a cruise that could spark an interest to last a lifetime. The Lake Explorers Cruise departs from the docks at the NH Fish & Game Boat Launch on Route 113. Please park at the Science Center and walk across the street to access the docks as the lot across from the boat launch is reserved for vehicles with boat trailers. Squam Lake Cruises are on canopied pontoon boats. Binoculars are available for wildlife viewing at no additional cost.

Reservations are recommended for all

V

Science Center Lake Cruises.

Later that day, at 7 pm on August 9, Ben Kilham will present an hourlong lecture on Black Bears. This is the final lecture in the series 50 Years of Environmental Change - Looking Back and Looking Ahead. Through an illustrated presentation, Wildlife Biologist Ben Kilham invites attendees into the world he has come to know best, that of black bears. For decades, Kilham has studied these animals in a vast tract of Northern New Hampshire woodlands. At times, he has also taken in orphaned infant bears - feeding them, walking them through the forest for months to help them decipher their natural world, and eventually reintroducing them back into the wild.

Once free, the orphaned bears still regard him as their mother. One of these bears, now a 20-year-old female, has given him extraordinary access to her daily life, opening a rare window into how she and the wild bears she lives among carry out their daily lives, raise their young, and communicate.

This lecture is free to attend but reservations are required and can be made by calling 968-7194 x7.

Children ages 4 to 7 are invited to Yoga Wild on August 10 and 24 from 10 am to 11 am. Children will explore animal movement through fun yoga poses done outdoors in the fields and forests of the Science Center. Children will learn spatial concepts, stimulate their senses, and develop motor skills as they use their imaginations to mimic animals. Each session includes a visit with a live animal.

August 11 features a morning of Invasive Species removal led by master Gardener Liz Stevens from 9:30 to 11:30 am. Adult participants will begin each session with a brief introduction to an invasive species and then head out onto the Science Center grounds to learn and practice techniques for removing that species from an area. Learn skills to apply to removing invasive species from your own property. Snacks and lemonade will be provided to wrap up the work sessions. Wear sturdy shoes and bring work gloves, water, insect repellent and sunscreen. No charge to attend but registration is required.

50 Nature Activities for Kids Series: Celebration Summer IV takes place on August 16 from 10 to 11:30 am. To help celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, they have published a book, 50 Nature Activities for Kids, by Senior Naturalist Dave Erler. Each program in the series, running throughout the year, will feature activities from the book to get participants exploring nature outdoors and a project to take nature home. Copies of the book will also be available for sale in the Howling Coyote Gift Shop. Activities take place both indoors and outdoors. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Celebrating Summer IV activities include: Bark Rubbings, Color with Plants, Jewelweed, and Log Looking.

August 18 brings the Center to Chamberlain Reynold Memorial Forest for a Nearer to Nature Walk from 9 to 11:30 am. Celebrate the

publication of Nearer to Nature by Science Center Naturalist Margaret Gillespie with a nature walk for adults at the Chamberlain Reynolds Memorial Forest in Center Harbor. The book walks readers through the seasons, delving into nature’s mysteries. Margaret Gillespie will explore the local fauna and flora at locations around the Lakes Region in the nature walk series. On this trip we will access Squam Lake by land, meandering through upland forest, crossing a swamp boardwalk, and exploring shoreline trails at this New England Forestry Foundation preserve managed by Squam Lakes Association. Participants will meet at the Science Center and carpool to the preserve.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center also features a variety of ongoing programs and cruises. From mountain lion training to searching for loons on the water, these ongoing events have something for everyone.

Visitors can met live animals up close and learn about them from an experienced naturalist educator during Up Close to Animals, daily at 11 am, 12, 1, 2 and 3 pm. These engaging talks at the amphitheater on the animal exhibit trail feature a variety of different animals, including birds like peregrine falcon, saw-whet owl, or sharp-shinned hawk; mammals like woodchuck, porcupine, skunk, or coyote; and reptiles like wood turtle, or Blanding’s turtle. Up Close to Animals presentations are part of regular trail admission and reservations are not required.

A special Up Close to Animals is held on Thursdays at 12 pm. Visitors will get a chance to see Mountain Lion training and feeding at the Mountain Lion Exhibit. Visitors will witness firsthand the tasks the two cats have been taught by Animal Care staff to help to enrich and safeguard their wellbeing. The mountain lions will get some tasty treats as a reward. This program is part of regular trail admission and no reservations are required.

Wednesdays at 1 pm, Up Close to Animals features a live coyote. Visitors will learn about this cousin to dogs, wolves, and foxes in this naturalist led presentation. Discussion will focus on coyote habitat, predators, and prey, and interesting facts about this amazing

Learn to Identify and Remove Harmful Plant Species As the summer months progress, so has the growth of the flora and fauna around us, continually growing larger and more vibrant. Unknown to many, mixed in among our gardens and the surrounding forests is the presence of numerous invasive plants. This summer, Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is offering three Invasive Species Removal Work Days where participants will learn to identify and remove invasive plants alongside Master Gardener Liz Stevens.

Invasive plant species, such as burning bush or giant hogweed, may have at one time been sold for gardening purposes in the U.S. until later on when it was realized that these plants, coming from other countries, have a negative ecological impact. There are numerous other reasons justifying the arrival of invasive species in the states; a main factor being that modern-day transportation has led to purposeful, but mainly accidental, transport of seeds or saplings across borders and oceans. Regardless of origin, there are countless invasive plant species negatively impacting native plants; many of which you may not have even known were invasive.

Each work session will begin by introducing participants to an invasive plant species, followed by learning

the proper removal techniques as Liz Stevens works with participants around the Science Center’s grounds.

To wrap-up from these two-hour work sessions, the Science Center will provide snacks and cold lemonade.

Take advantage of the informative session on how you can positively impact the outdoor space at your own home. These techniques are great tools to show your garden and forest a little TLC, and will encourage your native plants to grow stronger, by removing those harmful, invasive plant species.

Invasive Species Removal Work Days are scheduled for Tuesday, July 26 and Thursday, August 11, from 9:30 am to 11:30 am. These sessions may cater to adults, but are likely to intrigue any teenager interested in helping with the preservation and vitality of native plant species. There is no charge to attend the sessions, but reservations are required and may be made by calling 968-7194.

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 through November 1.

Transportation at Fine Arts and Crafts Festival in Meredith

Lakes Region Curling Association Returns for a Second Season With a highly successful first year under its belt, the Lakes Region Curling Association is back looking for curlers and would-be curlers to join its ranks.

The 10-week curling league will start in October at the Pop Whalen Arena in Wolfeboro.

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

Started in Scotland in medieval times, curling came to the United States and Canada with Scottish immigrants in the 19th century. While it has been popular in Canada for decades, the game started to explode in popularity in the U.S. after the last winter Olympics.

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.

For more information about the LRCA and the coming fall league, check out the organization’s website at www.lakescurlingnh.org.
