At Surowiec Farm, on Perley Hill Road in Sanbornton, it is a good year for blueberries. The farm is popular for its great produce, its farm stand … and its blueberries and apple crop (in the fall). “We urge people to call ahead,” advised the farm worker who spoke with The Laker on a busy Sunday in late July. “We have various blueberry • Blueberries Continued on page 5

Gretchen Warsen at Surroundings Art Gallery Surroundings Art Gallery in Center Sandwich is featuring the work of artist Gretchen Warsen. Gretchen has a rich New England heritage and currently resides in Massachusetts. Her paintings are abstract, water-based mixed media and pencil on Yupo paper (a synthetic, waterproof, recyclable paper).

For Gretchen, there is something about working on paper that seems full of possibilities and she comments, “Like when I used to make art as a child.”

Gretchen’s father is an engineer, inventor, sculptor, metalsmith and someone who can fix pretty much anything.

As a child, Gretchen watched her father work out ideas on paper and then

move ahead with a project; it was like catching a glimpse of how his mind worked.

“The fact that paper is so inexpensive, abundant and light, makes the combination of drawing, mark-making, experimenting, and problem-solving come together effortlessly—like floating down a river, or a balloon drifting upward. I celebrate that moment when an idea gets fleshed out on paper—from a quick sketch to a work of art—that’s what keeps me coming back to the studio as often as I can.”

Many of Gretchen’s pieces were inspired by something small, or seemingly-insignificant yet beautiful, that

A great location to visit for blueberry picking offers a beautiful setting, a friendly atmosphere and an old-time honor system for paying for your berries. Kemah Farm on Mud Road, off Cardigan Mountain Road in the village of Alexandria (Newfound Lake area), is a favorite of many (this author included).

“We happened upon Kemah Farm by accident some years ago,” stated one return-every-year blueberry customer who was enjoying berry picking on one of the farm’s first open days. “I couldn’t believe that a place like this still existed. The owners use an honor system where you put your payment in the big wooden box. And the berries are great!”

Indeed, Kemah is run by a hard-working family who tend the blueberry field.

New this year is a wonderful wooden farm stand where buckets and boxes for berry picking are kept, along with a guest book where visitors can leave comments.

After grabbing buckets, visitors drive slowly down a little country road and park in the well-tended field. The peace and quiet at the blueberry field is wonderful – if you are lucky, you might have the place to yourself and you can enjoy the experience of the tranquil solitude of berry picking without another person around for miles.

But more often than not, another berry lover will arrive to enjoy the delicious, large blueberries! Kemah is truly a wonderful, peaceful place for all to en-

The Swim 2017!

The Swim 2017 is expanding and the group is looking for swimmers. The group is comprised of fun and noncompetitive folks who love to swim and want to raise money to ensure the survival of loons on Squam Lake. This year’s Swim will take place on August 3.

Team leader Wendy Van de Poll and her group will swim the seven-mile length of Squam Lake to raise money for the Squam Lake Loon Initiative.

All contributions are tax deductible and support the Loon Preservation Committee.

Between the fall of 2004 and the spring of 2005, Squam Lake lost seven

of its loon pairs. This decline, from 16 to nine pairs, represented 44% of Squam’s loon population, a drop unprecedented on Squam or any other large lake in the Loon Preservation Committee

(LPC)’s 40-year history of monitoring loons. It also brought Squam’s loon population to its lowest level since LPC began to survey the lake in 1975.

The decline was followed by an almost complete reproductive failure of the remaining loon population – only one loon chick was fledged from the lake in 2007, and the lake has averaged only two surviving chicks since 2008. The Loon Preservation Committee has been investigating possible causes of these declines to reverse these troubling population trends on Squam. Efforts have included: 1. testing loon eggs collected from failed loon nests, blood and feather samples, and any dead loons found, for a wide range of contaminants and pathogens; LPC’s research has identified high levels of chemical contaminants including flame retardants, stain repellants, PCB’s, and insecticides like

DDT in Squam’s loon eggs.

2. Testing crayfish and sediment samples in an effort to identify possible sources of the contaminants found in Squam’s loon eggs; 3. Banding loons to track the survival, breeding success and wintering locations of individuals; 4. Analyzing the effects of a wide range of other factors on loon survival and breeding success, including fish populations, predator populations, recreational use of lakes (including the effects of high levels of lead fishing tackle mortality on Squam’s loon population), precipitation events, and temperature extremes; and, 5. Intensive management on Squam, including the use of ropes and signs around nesting loons, nesting rafts, and covers on rafts to protect eggs from avian predators.

These efforts are expensive – LPC’s testing of loon samples is the most comprehensive ever undertaken, and it costs LPC over $3,000 to test a single loon egg. You can help support LPC’s work to safeguard loons on Squam Lake.

Please contact the Loon Preservation Committee at 603-476-5666 and you will be put you in touch with Wendy Van de Poll for more details. (Information was still being coordinated as of press time; the Swim is scheduled to end about 12 noon at the Sandwich Town Beach.

When Swing Was King in Wolfeboro On Friday, August 4 at 7:30 pm the Great Waters Music Festival will present “When Swing Was King,” a tribute to Benny Goodman at the Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro.

Benny Goodman was known as the King of Swing - his iconic Big Band recordings from the 1930s and 40s are instantly recognizable and still popular today. From high school stage bands to pros, the arrangements will be forever fresh and vibrant.

But Benny and his swinging clarinet were just as comfortable, if not more at home, in a small group setting.

Dubbed by some as “chamber jazz”, his small groups always featured the best musicians in the world: Teddy

Wilson on piano, Gene Krupa on drums, and Lionel Hampton on vibes formed the original quartet. They could play it hot- really blazing on tunes like Avalon and After You’ve Gone and

delicate on lovely numbers like Body and Soul and Moonglow. This was a trailblazing group, as it was considered one of the first openly integrated bands performing in concert halls and movies.

The band also was not averse to modern trends when they added Charlie Christian on the new-fangled electric guitar. The augmented band played some swinging riffs like Airmail Special and Flyin’ Home.

In this concert Paul Cosentino and the Boilermaker Jazz Band will bring the energy and delicate swing of the small bands to you, performing some of their best-known material. You’ll also hear some of your favorite Goodman Big Band melodies, done small band style.

Benny Goodman was also fortunate enough to work with some of the finest female vocalists of the era, including Peggy Lee, Martha Tilton, Ella Fitzgerald, and the Helens - Ward and Forrest. These ladies always brought a touch of class and grace to the

“Bob Fogg and New Hampshire’s Golden Age of Aviation” tells the story of the Granite State’s true pioneer of

aviation, and includes many previously unpublished images of airplanes and aviators of the 1920s and 1930s. Bob Fogg brought aviation to Concord and the Weirs in the early 1920s and he and his pilots introduced flying to a whole generation that grew up in that time period.

The Beauty of the Snow Queen “This snow-flake grew larger and larger, till at last it became the figure of a woman, dressed in garments of white gauze, which looked like millions of starry snowflakes linked together,” describes Hans Christian Anderson in the Snow Queen, the legendary fairy tale on which Disney’s Frozen was based.

Come see the beloved tale performed

by New Hampshire’s premier ballet company, Northeastern Ballet Theatre, in an exquisite original Edra Toth production for one night only, on August 10 at 7 pm at the Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro.

When asked about creating this ballet, Miss Toth said, “Fairy tales are on my all-time-favorites list. They enrich our lives by allowing us to step into a world where trolls, magical mirrors, evil queens, and very unusual beings reside. For adults, they bring us back to a time when as children we believed and lived in that very special world: where Good always conquers Evil, heroes and heroines always persevered, and Love conquers all in the end. Simple yet timeless rules to live by; how easy it is to lose sight of the real things in life when we are living in the hectic, fast-paced life that is today’s world!

“The lessons for children that are embedded in fairy tales are profound, and children do not have to ‘suspend their belief’ - they are captivated, from the first phrase: Once upon a time. Their

Un p

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

rich imaginations are their passport into that land of enchantment!”

The lead role of The Snow Queen will be danced by Lissa Curtis of Dover who has starred in many of NBT’s past productions, including Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker. The lead couple will be danced by Assaf Benchetrit, Assistant Professor of Theatre and Dance (Dance) at the University of New Hampshire, and Naomi Sawyer of Plaistow, both of whom have been featured in past NBT productions, including The Nutcracker, and Dracula. Tickets are just $15 in advance, $20 at the door, and are available online at www. northeasternballet.org or call 603834-8834. Group rates are available at a discount for 10 or more. Please call for more information.

Northeastern Ballet Theatre has studios in Wolfeboro and Dover, NH and offers classes in classical ballet for ages 3 through adult, including professional level and pointe.

Northeastern Ballet Theatre is not a competition or recital-driven school.

Students learn technique throughout the year in class and have opportunities to perform in several full-length ballet productions such as The Snow Queen throughout the year. Don’t miss this spectacular production and help break the spell of never-ending winter in New Hampshire!

Music of All Eras Coming to Cate Park with Freese Brothers Big Band The Freese Brothers Big Band has been a popular draw in the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand in past summers and the band will return on Saturday, August 5, for a free concert as part of the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concert series.

The concert series, which runs each Saturday night from 7 to 9 pm in the bandstand in Cate Park, is free to the public.

The four Freese brothers - Jack, Bill, George and Courtland - who played music together in a family-performing group in the 1930s, formed the Freese Brothers Big Band, based in Concord, in 1982. The purpose of the band is to support and encourage the development of the musical talents of the public, particularly young musicians and its members and to foster an appreciation of music of all eras.

The band members live and work throughout the southern and central New Hampshire area and come from diverse professional and musical backgrounds, including some talented

high school students. They bring together years of experience to produce a distinctive sound. The band is proud to note that many of its high school members have gone on to college to study music for their future careers.

The band has awarded nearly $60,000 in scholarships to help high school musicians in the area improve their musical abilities.

As for what you’ll hear at the August 5 Cate Park concert, the band provides quality entertainment for all sorts of

occasions and because of that, you will hear numerous different pieces of music throughout the concert. The band will play Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra and Tommy Dorsey, but will also include updated arrangements of classic hits from newer artists such as Michael Buble.

The Freese Brothers Big Band will mark the start of the second month of the free concerts in Cate Park on Saturday night, as the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand continue to strive to bring quality music to the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee each and every summer.

The show will start at 7 pm and runs until 9 pm, with a short intermission.

Though there is no admission charged for the show, a pass-the-bucket offering will be collected at intermission to help the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand continue to bring the free concerts to the public every week.

In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be cancelled and a sign will be posted at the entrance to the park near the town docks and an update will also appear at wolfeborobandstand.org and on the group’s Facebook page.

Interlakes Summer Theatre, a professional summer stock in the Lakes Region, will present the Andrew Lloyd musical, CATS, from August 2 to 13. Nominated for 11 Tony Awards after its Broadway debut, CATS is a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, based on Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot, and produced by Cameron Mackintosh.

The musical tells the story of a tribe of cats called the Jellicles and the night they make what is known as “the Jellicle choice” and decide which

cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life.

Performances will be presented in the newly renovated Inter-Lakes Auditorium. Featuring new seats, railings, air-conditioning, and performed by a company of talented young professionals, this show is timeless and quite popular.

The theatre is located in Meredith, NH. For tickets and information, call 603-707-6035 or visit interlakestheatre. com.

Ancestry and Family Search The Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group will offer a series of alternating classes about Ancestry. com and FamilySearch.org during the month of August. Workshops are held at the Wolfeboro Public Library on South Main Street in Wolfeboro.

The Wednesday morning workshops will start at 10 am. Alan Francis will teach beginning Ancestry.com classes on August 2 and August 23.

Dee Ide will teach the fundamentals of FamilySearch.org on August 16 and 30. Both presenters recommend bringing your computer or laptop to each session. The workshops are free and open to all.

Alan Francis is a retired executive of Edison State College (now Florida Southwestern State College) in Fort Myers, Florida, and spends time in both Florida and Laconia, New Hampshire.

His professional career also included employment with Coldwell Banker Real Estate, UMass Boston, Honeywell Information Systems, United Technologies and the National Council on Compensation Insurance.

Francis, who grew up in North Reading, MA, holds AS and BS degrees from Bentley University and an MBA from the Florida Institute of Technology. Francis and his wife of 43 years, Peggie, are both formerly from Massachusetts and have been Florida residents for 36 years. They have two daughters, Stephanie and Alison and a new descendant, grandson Liam Francis Weaver!

Francis has recently become involved in genealogy in order to update the work of his deceased mother, Mildred Lounsbury D’Ambosio, who in 1982 published a book titled “History of the LounsburyAnderson Family.” This genealogy begins with Richard Lounsbury (16341691) who emigrated from England to Mamaroneck, Connecticut (now New York). Descendants lived in New England, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, California and elsewhere.

Some descendants emigrated to New Brunswick, Newfoundland and elsewhere in Canada and eventually back to the United States.

Interestingly, Francis has family roots (Deacon Thomas Parker, 1609 – 1683) that go back to 1638 in his home town of North Reading, Massachusetts, which back then was known as the North Parish of Redding. He also has ties to the Wolfeboro area as he spent several summers with his aunt, Mildred Reed (daughter of Leon Whiting and Mary Rose Francis) in Melvin Village.

Dee Ide is one of the founding members of the Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group and has been presenting programs at the Wolfeboro Public Library for the last six years.

Her classes will help participants learn to navigate in FamilySearch.org, to add photos and stories, to correct information in the database, use ‘My Source Box’, provide hands-on practice and more. Call Dee Ide at 603630-8497 with any questions.

Music program focuses on Shaker women composers “Give good gifts, one to another, peace, joy and comfort gladly bestow.”

Those are the opening words to a song by a 19th-century Shaker woman poet and composer, Sister Martha Jane Anderson. The song is an example of the hundreds of texts and tunes composed by women members of the oldest

religious communal society in America, known as the Shakers, that began in the 1780s.

On Saturday, August 5 at 1 pm, Roger Lee Hall, an ethnomusicologist and composer who has researched and performed Shaker music for over 40 years, will present an illustrated program at

34 North Main St., P.O. Box 2180 Wolfeboro, NH 03894 603-569-4488 www.melansonrealestate.com

Canterbury Shaker Village in Canterbury, NH. In the program titled, “Give Good Gifts – The Simplicity of Shaker Music,” Hall will speak about how Shaker music has become valued in our time and include songs by Shaker women composers, such as the last Shaker song composed at Canterbury

by Sister Lillian Phelps in 1959.

Hall has produced several CDs of Shaker music (“Celestial Praises” and “Gentle Words”) and several multi-media DVDs with book, music examples and concert videos, like “Give Good Gifts” – Shaker Music in the 20th Century, and “The Humble Heart” – A Forty Year Survey of Shaker Music.

The best-known Shaker song is “Simple Gifts” (first line: ’Tis the gift to be simple) and Hall is an authority

on that song and has written a book about it. He will tell how the song became world famous. “Simple Gifts” was performed in three U.S. Presidential Inaugurations – two of them in arrangements by Aaron Copland for Presidents Reagan and Clinton, and another arrangement by composer John Williams for the Inauguration of President Obama.

Hall’s program is one of the day’s activities on August 5 at Canterbury Shaker Village titled, “Shaker Inspirations – A Day of Music and Dance.” www.shakers.org/aug-5-shaker-inspirations/ Read more about Roger Lee Hall and his many Shaker music publications at: www.americanmusicpreservation. com/shakermusicscholar.htm.

“So far we’ve had a Red Tail Hawk, a skunk, a very large snake and bats,”explained the Museum’s Director. All ages will enjoy learning about animal behavior from some of the best local experts.

Next up the Libby welcomes creatures of the night on August 2.

Three wild creatures are guaranteed to

be at every show!

From August 15-19, “Outdoor Skills,” a new special program for 11-14 year olds is at The Libby, led

by Chris Russell from Maine’s Jack Mountain Bushcraft School. He’s a passionate environmentalist, and will share his talent with young people.

Chris predicts the outdoor cooking part of the program will be popular.

“We’ll attempt friction fire too”, he says. “It’s pretty hard to learn to do but kids love trying.” The day camp will run from 10 am to 3 pm each day.

Call The Libby Museum to reserve a place, at 603-569-1035, or stop in the Museum, located on Rt. 109 in Wolfeboro, NH.

Sandwich: The Town That Trains Forgot Story and Photo by Barbara Neville Wilson It’s funny. When writing about towns this year, I keep running into railroads: The gingerbread-y Queen Anne cottages that give shape to the Weirs Beach skyline shape? They’re there because the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad struck a deal with veterans of the Civil War: if you have your annual reunions here, we will give you a long-term lease on 12 acres of prime real estate—with grand views of Lake Winnipesaukee.

The very popular Cotton Valley Trail, due to be completed this year? It lies on trackways laid out in 1872 when Wolfeboro, previously accessible to visitors almost exclusively by steamship, opened a 12-mile spur of the Boston & Maine from Sanbornville. Although two decades or more later to the railroad game than other resort towns on the lake, Wolfeboro quickly caught the interest of tourists and came to have a fine reputation as a popular vacation destination.

The Laconia Railroad Station celebrating its 125th birthday this year? The grand train station was built in 1892 in anticipation of the

The proudly painted Concord Coach is the centerpiece of the Sandwich Transportation Museum. It is just one in an extensive vehicle collection that tells the story of the town that trains forgot.

successful, bustling city it hoped to become now that Boston & Maine’s Lake Shore rails from Alton Bay connected to the Boston, Concord & Montreal.

This story about Sandwich is different from these, yet it’s a railroad story, too. For, you see, the town of Sandwich that we know today was largely shaped by omission. The railroad bypassed Sandwich, and it became a very different town than its trajectory suggested in the early 1800s.

I recently visited the Sandwich Historical Society, where docent Judy Stoehr introduced me to a redfaced Geoffrey Burrows, president of the Sandwich Historical Society.

It was an 80+ degree-day, and he had just come in from doing an onsite review of the contents of a barn, a new purchase by the Society.

Knowing my interest in writing about the Society’s Transportation Museum, she says, “Now this is the man who can really show you around.” She had already told me that the Transportation project was truly Geoff’s baby. He had taken the seeds of a dream and guided it to fruition.

A little out of breath, he agrees to

give me a tour. As we walk toward the imposing white barn on a fresh granite foundation, he starts talking at a frantic pace.

The distance between the Society’s headquarters at the Marston House and the Transportation Museum is no more than two standard house plots wide, but it takes us at least 45 minutes to reach our destination.

I am a prodigious questioner, and I have met my match in Geoff. He is full of names and dates and does a masterful job connecting dots for me.

Ever since reading Newbery Award winner Elizabeth Yates’ book, The Road Through Sandwich Notch, I’ve wondered why the road, once so important, became derelict and unused for everyday transportation? And what gives the town its rather romantic “Brigadoon” quality?

Geoff tells me it all revolves around the coming of the railroad, but first he takes me back to the 18th century. Like most towns in the Lakes Region, Sandwich was created in the 1760s when people from the Seacoast were given land grants by the King of England, among them descendants of the Colonial Governor Wentworth and John Phillips, founder of Phillips Exeter Academy.

The tale is told that after the Revolution when New Hampshire settlement spread northward, the influential men suggested the state capital be removed from Exeter and reestablished at Sandwich. Geoff believes this to be pure myth, but he shares his theory that the founders saw opportunity for riches a few years later when state turnpikes had been established east and west, but needed a north/south connector.

Acceding to pressure from turnpike towns and the desire for a profitable future, Sandwich established a road through Sandwich Notch in 1810.

For several decades, Sandwich was a bustling center, adding to its population by transplants from towns miles away. The first generations of Tappan chairs, originally built in Sandwich in 1819, often traveled the Notch Road for sale in a store in Ashland. Isaac Adams came to town as a teenager from Rochester in 1832 to apprentice with Mr. Jewett, a furniture maker who had emigrated from Berwick, Maine.

It wasn’t long, though, before the road’s primacy was threatened.

In 1847, the Boston & Maine Railroad reached Alton Bay, and the Boston, Concord & Montreal reached Weirs Beach the next year.

Steamships carried passengers around Winnipesaukee, including Center Harbor, where freight and tourists alike would take land

transportation to Sandwich and through the Notch Road to the North Country. In 1852, however, the Boston, Concord & Montreal completed track to Plymouth.

Gradually, the arduous horseor oxen-drawn overland journey through the Notch became second choice to the Iron Horse. It offered a faster and more comfortable voyage.

Sandwich lost its identity as a transportation hub; economic opportunity shrank, and many young people left town to make their fortune farming more friendly fields in the Midwest or gleaning gold from mines in California. By the latter years of the 19th century,

Sandwich was a quiet town, almost frozen in time.

Certainly Sandwich never met the development dreams of its founders, but perhaps it’s that failure that allows the Transportation Museum to encase the treasures it does.

We finally enter the refurbished antique barn next to Town Hall.

Starting at the front, Geoff shows me wagons, sleighs - even hearses (summer and winter models!) that served their working lives in Sandwich and are now displayed in their very hometown. In a specially constructed addition, an ornately painted Concord Coach is • Sandwich Continued on page 32

Abolitionists arrive in NH!

In 1835, abolitionists opened one of the first intergrated schools in Canaan,

Tai Chi for Balance with Master Russell Jones People who have felt a little wobbly on their feet know how disconcerting this can be. Those who have actually fallen understand the potential myriad of challenges that can arise from this happening. However, today there is a cost-effective tool to help people with their balance. Tai Chi, the ancient holistic health art, can be safely used to aid people with balance challenges during everyday tasks.

Every Monday in August at 10 am, Master Russell Jones of Laconia’s Sachem Health Studio will present

a 30-minute Tai Chi Class at Taylor Community’s Woodside Building off Union Avenue in Laconia. The cost is free for Taylor residents and drop-ins are $5 per class.

Typical Tai Chi practice involves gentle, slow, continuous, circular movements. These types of movements, combined with proper body alignment, breathing and weight shifting, create beautiful dancelike movement patterns.

The movements increase digestion function, circulation, flexibility and leg strength. Combining these attributes

with mindful awareness of vision, head movement and foot placement creates a comprehensive set of tools anyone can use every day to enhance the quality of their lives. Ultimately, consistent Tai Chi practice creates a sense of well being, confidence and personal

independence.

Jones is a licensed Asian Bodywork Therapist and certified Tai Chi/Yoga/ Karate instructor who offers Tai Chi Focusing on Balance classes at his studio in Laconia. Please call 603-5244780 for more information.

Can A Man Love A Dog Too Much?

Meredith’s Bryan Halperin is in the director’s chair for the contemporary comedy about a love triangle between Sylvia, a street-smart dog astray in Central Park looking for a new home, and middle age, newly empty nesters, Greg and Kate. One of A.R. Gurney’s most endearing plays, Sylvia is also full of out-of-your-seat hilarious situations.

The play will be presented at the Little

Church Theater in Holderness; it runs from August 17 to 19 at 7:30 pm and on August 20 at 2 pm.

“Sylvia is an incredibly funny play about a man dealing with his mid-life crisis by getting a dog, Sylvia, which only further complicates things,” says Halperin. “As Sylvia comes between Greg and his wife, Kate, we are left to laugh at the nature of relationships,

both human and non!”

Sylvia, played by Katie Dunn of Concord, has the ability to speak and is fond of cursing like a longshoreman and being a wise-ass. Gilford’s Matt McGonagle plays Greg, who is looking for more meaning in his life and instantly falls in love with Sylvia.

Tamara McGonagle plays Kate, the wife who is less than thrilled by the clever Sylvia who jumps, slobbers, sits on her couch, and takes Greg’s attention away from his marriage.

The Sylvia cast also includes Ursula Boutwell of Gilford as Leslie, a marriage counselor; Ray Dudley

of Gilmanton as Tom, a philosophical dog-lover in the park; and Lisa Lovett of Holderness as Phyllis, an old Vassar classmate of Kate’s. Stage manager is Diane Fray of Bow. Little Church Theater performances of Sylvia will feature a benefit for the NH Humane Society with 10% of all sales from opening night, August 17, going to the NH Humane Society.

Additional donations will also be collected at all performances.

Tickets for Sylvia can be purchased at littlechurchtheater.com or by calling 603-968-2250.

The Remick Country Doctors: Lives and Legacies

By Ryan Pacheco Photos courtesy The Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm Before the age of Medicare, insurance copays, and all the red tape associated with modern medicine, a visit to your local doctor could cost as much as a cabbage and some chickens. That is, if you happened to live in Tamworth, NH during the turn of the century. Dr. Edwin Remick, who operated from his home on the historic Remick Farm in Tamworth, was for years the only option for many local families seeking medical care during the early 1900s and throughout the century, until 1993 (when Dr. Edwin Remick Jr. passed away). The practice was run first by Dr. Edwin Remick and later, by his son, Dr. Edwin Remick Jr. The medical practice was stationed out of the family homestead, known as the Captain Enoch Remick house.

The home itself, which was first built in 1808 by shipwright John Remick, and passed down to his son, Captain Enoch Remick, has stood for five generations in the Remick family.

This historic property has witnessed to a multitude of faces and stories in its 200 years. After gaining ownership of the property from his father, Captain Remick, who is best credited as Carrol County’s first Sheriff, renovated the home in 1830 and opened an inn, tavern and stagecoach stop for the Center Harbor to Conway route.

The years of 1830 through 1868 saw the home abundant with travelers, significant historical figures and local tavern patrons, solidifying the Captain Enoch Remick house as a community icon.

Nathaniel Hubbard, husband of Captain Remick’s daughter, Sarah Remick, purchased the property from his father-in-law in 1868. Finding financial success through farming, Nathaniel Hubbard and Sarah Remick became affluent figures in Tamworth, enjoying the prosperity of one of the area’s most lucrative farms. With Sarah Remick’s passing in 1904, the property was passed to her three nephews, one of which was Dr. Remick. Successfully buying out his cousin’s shares of the property, Dr. Remick moved into the family homestead with his wife Emily Crafts Remick, and son Edwin Crafts Remick.

Dr. Edwin Remick Sr. seriously ill, your initial action may be to call a friend or dial 9-11. In minutes, someone would be there to accompany you to a professional hospital, containing all the modern technology and equipment you need to get back to your daily life as quickly, effectively, and painlessly as possible. The trip would be fast, the environment would be sterile, and hang ups that could be life-threatening if left untreated can be considered routine procedures in the eyes of a healthcare provider. Dr. Remick gave care in a world that existed without the modern conveniences and attention to detail we enjoy today. With the automobile still weaving itself into the fabric of American culture, a trip to the doctor could take residents of rural towns hours, if not days. To ensure his patients received quality care in a timely manner, Dr. Remick opened his home to the public, providing treatment and homemade medicine (which was made in the doctor’s downstairs parlor). Through his work, Dr. Remick became the quintessential man of the community, establishing lasting and personal relationships with the townspeople under his care.

His practice was hardly limited to his property, as he would travel to the homes of those who weren’t able to reach him, providing care to patients, from the comfort of their own homes.

Dr. Remick was a man of compassion.

His doors never closed, and his wallet never got in the way of helping those in need. The doctor’s own bedroom had a hollow tube imbedded in the walls, throughout the house, and leading outdoors for patients to speak into late

at night. This addition to the house allowed the doctor to be on call at any hour of the day. His legacy was that of a hero, and his work kept more family names around to build our future.

In May of 1935, Dr. Edwin Remick’s caring hands had healed their last patient. With his passing, a vacancy opened within the community for a golden pair of shoes to be filled. It was then when Edwin Crafts Remick, son of Dr. Edwin Remick, disregarded the pleas of his father, and followed his footsteps to medical school. After graduating from Tufts Medical School in Boston, Dr. Edwin Crafts Remick returned to the family homestead to • Remick Continued on page 40

hospital, men took the challenge from humble settings and learned the science, trade, and anatomy of what makes human beings survive. The father and son team of Remick doctors worked vigorously, yet carefully to keep the world healthy at a time when we were sick. The Influenza epidemic, which accounted for 41% of Tamworth deaths in 1918, was fought by one man on a farm. To this day, the Remick name is remembered for the great feats accomplished with intelligence, compassion and dedication to hard work. While modern science has come a long way since Dr. Edwin Remick first opened his practice, had the good doctors been alive today, many residents would likely swear by their reputation and common human decency All historical accounts, details, images, and research for this article were collected directly from The Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm in Tamworth, New Hampshire.

finish the work of his father, providing the same level of personal and intimate attention to every patient under his care. Dr. Remick Jr. would provide first-rate healthcare to his beloved community up until his death in 1993.

Within the spectrum of his career, he witnessed the modernization of medicine, and adapted his practice to a smarter, increasingly regulated adaption of the business his father ran. Dr. Remick Jr. found creative and effective methods to tackle the issues he found in his work. An avid fan of horse racing, Dr. Remick would ask patients to listen to a recording of old horse races, to equip patients with advanced listening skills. He carried his practice until his death in 1993.

The age of the traveling, country doctor has long since passed. The idea is kept alive in American pop-culture through paintings, classic novels, and Grandma’s childhood stories. At a time before the conveniences of the modern

Amos Lee Concert at Capitol Center The Capitol Center for the Arts (CCA) welcomes critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Amos Lee to its main stage on Wednesday, August 2.

Lee has performed as opening act for Norah Jones, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, Merle Haggard, Van Morrison, John Prine, Dave Matthews Band, Adele, the Zac Brown Band, Jack Johnson, The Avett Brothers, and David Gray. His music has appeared on the soundtracks of numerous TV shows and movies.

Opening for Mr. Lee is Bailen. This show is presented in association with Kirschner Concerts.

Lee’s 2013 album, Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song, earned acclaim from The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Paste, and More. His previous offering, Mission Bell, took #1 on the Billboard Top 200. Lee’s most recent album, Spirit, has drawn unanimous praise from various tastemakers. Billboard wrote, “Amos Lee is ready to take his fans on a journey down to Memphis for a little bit of old school soul.” Huffington Post initially premiered Lee’s “Vaporize,” while American Songwriter debuted the title track and claimed, “The soulful piano ballad adopts the perspective of the anonymous street singer, who, as Lee imagines him, plays music to ‘feel the spirit.” “Till You Come Back Through” debuted on Reli,x which wrote, “It draws on a range of sounds that have influenced him.”

Along the way, Lee has performed on the late night television shows Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and the Late Show with David Letterman. He has also been a musical guest for The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Tavis Smiley on PBS. Siblings David and Daniel (twins), and their sister Julia have been play-

ing together their whole lives. Bailen started in 2014 with their childhood friend Pierre. Their music is nostalgic with melodic hooks and a deep soulful quality, all with a modern, youthful perspective. Since forming Bailen, they have starred on London’s West End (Daniel in Close to You), played all over Europe and the United States, and most recently toured Taiwan with Mando-Pop star Yen-J. They are regulars at Rockwood Music Hall in New York City where they recently finished up an unprecedented 40-show residency culminating in the Downtown Comes Uptown series with WFUV at Lincoln Center. The band has collectively appeared, performed, or collaborated with Burt Bacharach, The Lone Bellow, Joseph, Raul Midon, Diane Birch, Animal Years, American Authors, Pig Pen Theater Co, Oh Honey, The Marcus King Band, Jon Batiste and Stay Human, Bill Withers, and Dianne Reeves.

Tickets for the August 2 performance be ordered by calling the Capitol Center for the Arts at 603-225-1111 or online at www.ccanh.com. Tickets may also obtained at the CCA’s box office at 44 South Main St., Concord, NH, which is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11am to 6 pm.

The award-winning Capitol Center for the Arts inspires, educates, and entertains audiences by providing a quality venue for the performing arts as well as an eclectic variety of professional-level, artistically-significant presentations. The Center is conveniently located off Rt. 93 in downtown Concord, New Hampshire and is close to several quality restaurants, shopping boutiques, and other area attractions.

The facility first opened in 1927 as the Capitol Theatre, a prime stop on the Vaudeville circuit; it later became Concord’s premier movie house and concert hall. After closing in 1989, it

underwent a multi-million dollar renovation/modernization and reopened in 1995 as the Capitol Center for the Arts. Today, the Capitol Center is home to the 1,304-seat Chubb Theatre, the

Spotlight Café, the Governor’s Hall ballroom, and the Kimball House, a stately Victorian mansion.

Boating Safety for You and Your Pet

With boating season in high gear it’s a good time for a little refresher on pet friendly boating to ensure your little one is safe courtesy of TripswithPets.com. Before hitting the high seas with your pet, it’s important to plan ahead and always keep the best interests of your four-legged friend in mind. Boating with your pet can be a wonderful and bonding experience or a not so pleasant one. It’s all a function of proper planning and preparation.

Be sure to take these necessary provisions to ensure that your pet’s boat cruise is a happy and safe one.

Identification Tag: Make sure your pet has a collar with an identification tag. Include contact information, marina address and slip number.

Familiarization with the Boat: It is best to gradually introduce your pet to your boat and the water. Let your pet explore the boat while it is docked before going out on the water. Turn on the engine and let them get used to its sound, smell, and feel while the boat is docked. Then, take your pet out on small cruises and gradually build up to a longer cruise.

Safe & Easy Boat Access: Provide a special pet ramp for your pet to get on and off the boat. This not only includes from the dock to the boat but also from the water to the boat. Pets weigh much more wet than dry and it can be very difficult to lift them back into your boat after a swim.

Flotation Device: A personal flotation device (a.k.a. pet life jacket)

can also ensure safety while on the water. Not all pets can swim (including some dogs). Even if your pet is a good swimmer, getting tossed overboard can put any animal into a panic. In addition, your pet could suffer from exhaustion or hypothermia. Many pets also fall into the water from the dock or while trying to get from the dock to the boat. Having your pet equipped with a flotation device with a lifting handle makes retrieving your pet much easier and safer. Help your pet get used to the PFD by first practicing at home for short periods of time. Start by putting the PFD on your pet and let them walk around with it on. The next step is to let your pet swim with it on for a short period. It’s a new experience for your pet so it’s important for them to get used to it before the boat trip.

Proper Hydration & Staying Cool: Pets do not sweat, so keep an eye out for heavy panting or drool and a rapid heart beat. Protect pets from heat by providing some shade on the boat, providing plenty of water and keeping the deck cool to protect paw pads. Bring along a pet travel bowl and fresh water.

It is critical to hydrate pets before they get into the water. Otherwise, they will drink the natural water and may get sick.

Going Potty: A big challenge of boating with your pet is making provisions so that they can go to the bathroom. Bringing along your cat’s litter box and securing it inside the cabin is a good solution for your

feline friends. Dogs, however, are a bigger challenge. If your boat trip does not allow for regular land stops for your dog to do their business, then provisions must be made so that they can relieve themselves on the boat. A portable dog potty that simulates grass is an excellent solution.

Health Records: If your boating destination is a marina or place that you’re not familiar with, be sure to bring along a copy of vaccination and health records. Some places may require proof of immunization before letting pets explore on land.

Call Ahead: While most marinas and parks welcome pets, there are some that aren’t pet friendly. Be sure

to call ahead before arriving on shore.

If Ticks Could Talk We’ve all heard it before; when it comes to those pin-sized pests, wear clothing that covers your skin, use bug spray with no more than 30% DEET and do a tick-check every night. Here’s the deal – this message of caution is not going away anytime soon. In 2014 alone, 1,416 cases of Lyme disease were estimated to have occurred in the Granite State. This figure does not include Anaplasmosis or Babesiosis – two additional tickspread diseases that have an increasing number of documented incidents. Due to the unusually warm winter and advantageous ecological conditions, New Hampshire can expect a record high tick population in the upcoming months.

With increasing concern and alarming statistics, it is as important as ever to take the time to make sure your family, pets and self are protected.

If blacklegged ticks – the species that carries the Lyme bacterium – could talk, what would they say that might better help us understand how to take precaution and prevent ourselves from being bitten and infected?

Question: Why are ticks worse some days than other days?

Answer: Because of our small body volume but large surface area, we ticks are prone to drying out! When there are dry periods or droughts, we lose moisture and must retreat to leaf-litter or soil where we rehydrate. Our ideal conditions are when there are normal moisture or rainfall patterns. Under these circumstances, May-August and

October and November are our highly active periods for host questing.

Question: Are there certain colors of clothing that attract ticks?

Answer: There are about 15 species of ticks in New Hampshire, and while most of us do not carry the Lyme bacterium, most of us don’t have eyes either! Because we do not have vision, we rely mostly on luck. When questing for a host, we secrete a sticky substance from our front appendages and grab on to anything that brushes up against us.

Hopefully it is something we can feed on!

Question: Does a tick benefit from infecting people with Lyme disease?

Answer: We are not trying to harm humans, we are actually just feeding

for a blood meal so that we can molt and reproduce! The reason we end up transmitting Lyme bacterium is because of our gut-water expulsion mechanism. In order to store blood in our gut, we must get rid of excess water. Our salivary glands pump this into the host, and if we are carrying Lyme, the bacterium as well. It can take a while for the Lyme bacterium to show physical results, so it is important to monitor our bites for extended amounts of time.

Question: Why is it so hard to remove ticks once they bite?

Answer: When we bite, we anchor ourselves with what looks like a jagged, barbed wire probe and emit a cementlike substance. This makes it so we

can feast without fear of falling off!

By grabbing our head with tweezers or other tick removal devices and by gently tugging, we will eventually loosen our grip. When you try to yank us out, our anchor does not loosen up and often our head becomes detached from our body. Ouch!

Continuing the simple yet effective steps in preventing tick bites is crucial.

Wear light colored clothing to readily spot ticks; apply repellents like DEET or permethrin-based substances that are specialized to avert ticks; keep your lawns mowed and avoid thick grassy areas when possible; thoroughly check yourself and your pets whenever you have been outside. Ticks are known to travel beyond the woods and grassy areas, so even staying on a patio warrants a head to toe check.

If bitten by a tick, monitor the penetrated area for 30 days. If a rashlike ring begins to form, contact your doctor immediately.

For more information on ticks, Lyme disease, or other tick-borne illnesses, read “The Biology and Management of Ticks in New Hampshire,” published by the UNH Cooperative Extension; or contact the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, Bureau of Infectious Disease Control at 271-4496 or 800-852-3345 x4496, or online at www.cdc.gov/ lyme/.
