THE Social Event of the Year Wolfeboro’s Hospital & Community Aid Street Fair Story & Photo by Barbara Neville Wilson It may be hard to believe that any single event in a community’s life is THE social event of the season. But in Wolfeboro, it’s true.

The annual Hospital & Community Aid Street Fair is the place to see and be seen, the place where you run into people you haven’t seen in ages or meet new friends you feel you always knew.

For two full days and nights, Friday and Saturday, August 5 and 6 from 10 am to 10 pm, the Hospital & Community Aid Street Fair will be the center of activity in Wolfeboro. And it’s been true every summer since 1938.

The Fair not only brings Wolfeboro people together, but also draws people from Tuftonboro and Alton, Ossipee and Maine, and folks from as far away as Washington, DC, Colorado and the Carolinas, Florida and California.

Some people plan their whole summer vacation around the Fair!

Jane Wass has come to expect the inevitable phone calls. Will the Street Fair be held the first full weekend of August? Yes, responds the event’s veteran co-chair. As always, the Fair will be the first full weekend of August, come rain or shine, she tells them.

The Fair is highly anticipated by everyone: Baby Boomers, Millennials, Gen X, Gen Y, the Greatest Generation.

REL A X Rustic stYLE!

They look forward to amusement rides or cotton candy, fairground treats, and live music, but most of all, the crowds look forward to picking through tents full of donated toys, clothing, jewelry, household goods, appliances and electronics, art, linens, plants, tons of books, and high value auction items.

It seems a little preposterous, doesn’t it? The biggest social event of the year in an area known for multi-million dollar homes and summer visitors centers on the resale of castoff treasures and once-loved things? Yet, that’s part of the allure of the Fair.

The first Fair was held Saturday, August 19, 1938 in the midst of a Depression nearly nine years old.

Dreamed up by the new Hospital Aid president, Ethel Dye Black (daughter of the founder of the hospital, wife to one of its doctors, and the originator of Black’s Paper Store), it was meant to replace numerous small fundraisers throughout the year that met the Hospital Aid mission “to promote the interests of the Huggins Hospital by providing as far as possible such articles as are necessary for the comforts of the inmates.”

The stated goal for the first Street Fair was to raise $500, and so the Aid members recruited family and community members to mow and • Street Fair Continued on page 5

August 1, 2016 • Street Fair Continued from page 3 prepare Brewster Field, and build 6 x 6-ft. canvas booths to fill with games, food, raffles and items to buy. Success was met the first year; net proceeds were $900, nearly double the goal set by the Aid. In the 78 years following, the Fair has held a steady course, though nearly interrupted in 1942 for war rationing and the children’s portion curtailed in 1955 because of a polio outbreak.

Hospital clients are no longer referred to as “inmates,” but the Street Fair still raises surprising amounts of money to buy equipment used for direct patient care at Huggins Hospital.

People love the magic found in newto-them necessities, whimsies and bargains, eating great food, seeing Lake Winnipesaukee from the top of the Ferris Wheel, twinkling lights in the twilight, and the echo of a barker’s call across the field.

They look for what’s new: lobster rolls by Barbara Narramore and the return of the Electronics Tent this year. And they look for the things they remember from years gone by: being served hot-off-the-grill food by Huggins Hospital Trustees, physicians and staff; scoops of delicious Bailey’s Bubble ice cream; $1/bag bargains at the end of the Fair. But for dozens of people, their romance with the Fair does not actually stem from the Street Fair itself.

No. For them, the allure of the Fair is found in the Hospital Aid’s three sizeable barns off Route 109A in Wolfeboro in the months leading up to the Fair. There, like the stage crew of a play, they make the final grand production possible. They sort through donations—“Where does this belong?” people ask White Elephant lead Betsy and Paul Thornton and House & Holiday organizers Sylvia Countway and Jan Mueller. They price every object—“Phew!” say Shirley

Richardson and David Warren from the always-busy Book Tent. “Expert Evelyn Franks is returning again this year to price and appraise hundreds of unique books.” And they pack boxes— Clothing coordinators Sarah Silk and Linda Monasky have learned that most long items are best left hanging. “Do you know that one gorgeous gown can fill a whole box in itself?”

Finally, in the last days before the Fair, truckload after truckload of treasure is transported by indefatigable volunteers, including Kingswood students and campers from Brewster Summer School, the Brewster Thai Scholars and Wolfeboro Camp School, Camp Belknap and Pleasant Valley Camp from the three huge barns to Brewster Field in downtown Wolfeboro where the Fair takes place. There they find that Bob Wass, Ed Devereux, and Charlie and Carol Roosa have already marked and staked the field for maximum traffic flow, and tents have been delivered and erected.

All day Wednesday and Thursday, volunteers unpack boxes and display wares in tents dedicated to Sports (directed by Huggins past-president Les McLeod and Hospital Trustees); Toys (coordinated by Susan Goodwin, Jean Dolan and Judy Sands); Appliances and Electronics (Gary Sullivan and John Gray); Linens (newly managed by Nancy Conway, and Jerome and Theresa Tocio after a fabulous 11-year run by Faye Hunter); Raffles like a gorgeous quilt donated by creators Sarah Silk and Linda Monasky and a $1,000 Powerchair from Green Mountain Furniture, and three adventure certificates: Indoor Skydiving, Indoor Surfing and Fishhook from SkyVentureNH; Art (directed by Anne Hoopes and Jane Wass); Plants (in the charge of Betsy Halstead and Cara Flitner); Jewelry (overseen by Cheryl Donahue, assisted by the RI family of longtime Jewelry doyenne June Bodozian); the large Christmas collection (spearheaded by Joan Smith)

and the Auction coordinated by the bigenerational Wass family: Bob and Jane, and Laurie and Rob Greer.

Many volunteers boast of “Fair Friends,” people who reunite every year at the Barns when they open in April and then at the Fair itself.

Volunteers who live in the area often take off just a few weeks after the Fair in August and then return to the Barns September-December to start sorting the next year’s donations. They also run the weekly Barn Sales that start in October.

“No one needs to worry,” says Jane Wass as she explains what goes on at the Barn Sales. “We save all the really good stuff for the Fair.” The Barn Sales are intended to relieve overcrowding by similar items, and sometimes saves the group trips to the dump. “You

AF te r

won’t believe how many times we’ve had something out front that we’re going to take to the dump and someone stops for the Barn Sale and ends up buying it!”

Overall, though, very little that is donated to the Street Fair ends up at the local landfill. Medical equipment is always offered free to anyone who needs it. Metal unsuitable for sale or left over at the Fair is recycled.

Leftover books are picked up by “Big Hearted Books” that gives them away.

Unclaimed clothing is picked up by a Tuftonboro resident who trucks it to an impoverished community in the Adirondacks—all at his own expense.

Upcoming Workshops with Traditional Russian Artist Marina Forbes Traditional Russian artist and lecturer, Marina Forbes, will offer a unique workshop on the rich Russian folk tradition of Matryoshka (wooden nested doll) painting on Tuesday, August 2 from 1 to 4 pm at the Pease Public Library, 1 Russell Street in Plymouth, NH. The workshop is open to adults, teens and families with children 6 and up. It is a great opportunity for adults and families to work together and learn about Russian crafts and culture.

Participants will hear the story of the Matryoshka doll and will learn about her traditional Russian dress and customs. Traditional Russian painting techniques and floral and berry designs are also introduced. The goal is to produce a finished piece of Russian folk art on wood. Students can work on 7-piece, 5-piece, 3-piece or 1-piece matryoshka sets. Throughout the workshop, students will be listening to traditional Russian music, and, during a brief break from the painting, there will be a demonstration of a few steps from a traditional Russian “matryoshka dance.”

On August 3, join Marina for more storytelling and a workshop on Faberge Eggs: Fine Art to Fine Craft. This unique program also takes place at the Pease Public Library and runs from 10 am to 1 pm.

The program combines a beautifully illustrated talk on Russian arts and crafts with a hands-on workshop where participants will learn how to render a variety of delightful images on wood.

Inspired by a spectacular photo-tour of the traditional crafts and Faberge collections from the major Russian museums, program participants will have a unique opportunity to use their creativity and imagination to produce their own authentic pieces of collectible folk art on wood. Traditional Russian painting techniques and floral and berry designs are introduced. The students will have plenty of options to paint on: Russian animal figurines, wooden firebirds, wooden spoons, wooden boxes, wooden churches, trees, wooden rulers and wooden eggs.

Students could also choose to paint on the pre-designed items. Throughout the workshop portion of the program, participants will be listening to traditional Russian music. (There is a materials fee for anyone participating in the hands-on component of the program. This fee of $15 covers the cost of the wooden shapes as well as the use of paints for painting on wood and brushes for the workshop.)

No painting experience is required for this hands-on program. Artists with painting experience are also encouraged to participate. Participants can work on their art for as little as 15 minutes or for as long as they would like.

For more information about these workshop opportunities or to preregister, contact Marina Forbes directly at 332-2255, by e-mail at marina@marinaforbes.com or visit MarinaForbes.com

• Street Fair Continued from page 5 He is not alone. The Hospital and Community Aid Street Fair is run purely by volunteers. From Hospital Aid president Sarah Silk and all the organization’s members, to Street Fair co-chairs Bob and Jane Wass, and Mary O’Neill, to workers in the Barns week after week, or the person who gives time at the Fair or in cleanup afterwards: they all simply love the Street Fair and what it does to support direct care equipment for patients and support for the community at large.

One very busy Barn volunteer stops to tell her story. After enduring an abusive marriage situation for too long, she escaped with her two sons and only the clothes on her back. She was able to find an apartment but didn’t have funds to furnish it. Directed to the Street Fair Barns in the off-season, she was able to furnish her apartment with quality furnishings for less than $300. “I am

forever indebted,” she says, “and will do everything I can to give back, both here (at the Barns) and at the Fair itself.

It just goes to show you how one act of kindness can change everything.”

The Wasses and everyone involved with the Street Fair have a very busy week ahead. They happily invite you to become part of the “Fair Friends” community. Just bring willing hands to Brewster Field Wednesday and/ or Thursday after 9 am, or stop by the Headquarters Tent on Friday or Saturday after 9:30 am. Terri Hooper, Huggins Hospital Director of Volunteers, can set you up with time slots this week, or at the Barns in fall or spring.

“Terri,” says Jane, “is vital to the success of the Street Fair.” The same can be said of so many people who are making this Street Fair successful, and those who have given time and expertise in the past.

Does the Hospital and Community Aid Street Fair want your help? You bet! Call Terri Hooper at 569-7500.

Sparkle Spa, The Musical Interlakes Children’s Theatre Interlakes Children’s Theatre is presenting the all-new, completely original Sparkle Spa, The Musical at Inter-Lakes Auditorium, One Laker Lane, Meredith through August 1. The show is based on the popular Sparkle Spa book series by Jill Santopolo.

Aly and Brooke Tanner are ready to embrace their roles as the sparkliest girls at Auden Elementary and beat the boys in Auden’s annual Fall Carnival Competition. But as the girls fall behind the boys in the competition, Aly is faced with a decision: risk her sparkly status and take a chance on Suzy, the school weirdo, or let the boys beat the girls for sure. An exuberant show that celebrates the sparkle–and weirdness–in all of us!

The show will be performed by talented tweens and teens from the area through Sunday, August 1 at 11 am. After the show, a fantastic spa event will take place where nails will be painted and temporary tattoos and

V

at

hair pizzazz applied.

The show is $10 and the spa event is $5; call the box office at 707-6035 or visit www.interlakeschildrenstheatre. org to reserve seating.

Interlakes Children’s Theatre (ICT) is the new incarnation of the Interlakes Summer Theatre junior intern program – this time as a non-profit! ICT is established to develop the creativity and talent of the local teens and tweens in an integrated theatre arts education program. It will foster social interaction, teamwork, and ultimately building self-esteem as well as provide educational theatre programming for pre-school and elementary school age children with the purpose of encouraging the advancement of literacy through presentation of children’s literature.

Interlakes Children’s Theatre encourages in participants and audiences a lifelong interest in the arts and live theatre.

Northeastern Ballet Theatre Open House Northeastern Ballet Theatre (NBT) will be holding an Open House on Tuesday, August 2 from 2-4 pm and from 5-7 pm in their Wolfeboro studio (located at 26 Glendon Street, Wolfeboro, across from Rite Aid). Stop by to find out about NBT’s classical ballet instruction, and be introduced to NBT’s newest instructor, Sarah Sedgely, who brings her Encore Dance School to the Wolfeboro NBT studio beginning this fall with classes in tap/ jazz and tap/ballet combo for ages 3 and up. Meet all of the professional instructors of NBT, tour the studio, have some refreshments and register for fall classes.

Northeastern Ballet Theatre is the artistic vision and passion of its founder Edra Toth, former prima ballerina for Boston Ballet Company, who has built a life teaching children and adults the joy of dance. It is the philosophy of NBT that ballet is an art form. Within a positive and encouraging atmosphere, dancers are taught to develop their own unique, artistic abilities.

Northeastern Ballet Theatre is not a competition or recital-driven school. Its classical ballet classes focus on technique for the entire year, but there are many opportunities for performance experience with NBT, including an annual production of The Nutcracker, a spring/summer production (past productions

include Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and original ballets such as The Pirate and the Gypsy), and Miss Toth’s original Dracula each October.

NBT will not conform to arbitrary, artificial standards of perfection.

Many students aim for professional dance careers, and others simply enjoy dancing as recreation. NBT appreciates and respects both of these purposes, and feels it can best serve the diversity of its students by offering them the opportunity for a rich, life-long experience through serious training in a professional dance atmosphere. Miss Toth believes that there is an “inner dancer” within each of us waiting to be discovered and that ballet is not only about using your body, but your mind and soul.

NBT offers partial and full scholarships to those in need; Miss Toth remembers those who helped her find her life through dance and vows to give that experience to as many others as possible. NBT also offers an eightweek summer intensive for all levels of dancers.

Visit NBT’s Open House and find out why NBT is New Hampshire’s premier ballet company and training school. For more information please visit www.northeasternballet.org or call 834-8834. Don’t miss NBT’s Sleeping Beauty on August 11 at 7 pm at the Kingswood Arts Center.

Addressing Water Quality impairments in the Lake Waukewan Watershed A plan to address water quality impairments in Lake Waukewan and Lake Winona will be presented by the Lake Winnipesaukee Association and FB Environmental Associates on August 3 at 6 pm, at the Meredith Community Center.

The Waukewan-Winona watershed includes five towns in and around Meredith, NH: New Hampton, Center Harbor, Holderness, and Ashland. Development around the lake consists of a mix of seasonal and year round residential homes and cottages. Businesses on the lake include some commercial and light industrial use, especially in the southern portion of Lake Waukewan and several campgrounds.

Both Lake Winona and Lake Waukewan are impaired for Aquatic Life Use due to low dissolved oxygen concentrations and, in the case of Lake Waukewan, Meredith’s drinking water supply, cyanobacteria blooms. Potential threats to the lake quality and public drinking water supply include storm water runoff, development pressure,

Go

recreation, septic systems, erosion, and land use practices. The goal of the project is to protect the surface waters of the watershed from these threats by developing a Watershed Restoration Plan which establishes in-lake and watershed load reduction goals for

phosphorus, the key limiting nutrient for this sub-watershed and Lake Winnipesaukee.

The draft plan, developed by a group comprised of residents, community officials, local lake associations and environmental consultants, outlines

recommendations and strategies for actions to reduce nutrient and pollutant loading to the lakes. The action plan includes recommendations for public education, planning, land conservation, adoption of best management practices, site restoration projects, water quality monitoring, and more. In addition to the goal of nutrient (phosphorus) reduction, the Action Plan was also developed to foster thinking about long-term strategies for improving the water quality and related natural resources within the watershed, and to promote communication between citizens, municipalities, and state agencies.

Funding for this project was provided in part by a Watershed Assistance Grant from the NH Department of Environmental Services with Clean Water Act Section 319 funds from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

There is no cost to attend the program; however, pre-registration is requested and can be done through the Lake Winnipesaukee Association at 581-6632.

Red Cross Urges Blood Donors to Give Now

While thousands of people across the country responded to the emergency request for blood and platelet donations issued by the American Red Cross in early July, a critical blood shortage remains.

The Red Cross urges eligible donors to give now to help ensure blood is available throughout the rest of the summer to meet patient needs. At times, blood and platelets are being distributed to hospitals faster than donations are coming in, which impacts the ability to rebuild the blood supply. Right now, (as of press time), the Red Cross has less than a five-day blood supply on hand.

The Red Cross strives to have a five-day supply at all times to meet the needs of patients every day and be prepared for

emergencies that may require significant volumes of donated blood products.

“The Red Cross continues to have an emergency need for blood and platelet donors to give now and help save patient lives,” said Mary Brant, external communications manager of the Northern New England Region. “We are grateful for those who have already stepped up this summer to give and want to remind those who are eligible that hospital patients are still counting on them to roll up a sleeve.”

Blood and platelets are needed for many different reasons. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all need blood.

Donors of all blood types are urgently needed to help restock the shelves. The Red Cross is thanking those who come in to donate blood or platelets through August 31 by emailing them a $5 Amazon.com gift card claim code.

To schedule an appointment to donate, use the free Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800733-2767. Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce wait times.

Founding Company Members Return for Advice To The Players Tempest This August, Advice To The Players (ATTP), Sandwich’s Shakespeare Company, is bringing William Shakespeare’s The Tempest to their summer home at the Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage for the first time.

Returning to join the cast are ATTP’s Founding Artistic Director Caroline Nesbitt, and founding company member Robert Bates.

“The opportunity to return to my old company as an actor and work with this new generation of creative thinkers and their exciting ideas for the future is a treat,” said Nesbitt, who is playing Gonzalo. “Of course I would

Founding Artistic Director Caroline Nesbitt, shown playing Prospero in a 2015 reading of The Tempest, is returning to play Gonzalo in this summer’s production. love to say I taught them everything they know, but I’d be lying. In fact, I’ve learned far more from their example!”

Andrew Codispoti and Jessie Chapman are the company’s current Artistic Director and Managing Director, respectively. Together they are helming this, the company’s 15th summer season, in Sandwich. So far the season has included a production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised], which played at The Winnipesaukee Playhouse and at the Sandwich Town Hall Theatre in July, as well as the company’s popular Wednesday night Summer Concert Series, which will continue through August, and several play readings.

Tempest will serve as the season’s capstone. “When it came to planning this summer’s season, there was really only one choice,” said Codispoti, the show’s director. “This is the 400th year since Shakespeare’s death in 1616, and we’re celebrating his legacy all year long. It seems appropriate to produce Tempest, possibly the last play he

wrote.”

Robert Bates will be playing Prospero, the banished Duke and magician who speaks the words many have interpreted as Shakespeare’s farewell to his career in the theatre. But when ATTP produced The Tempest the first time round, at The Barnstormers Theatre in 2005, Nesbitt played Prospero, and Bates played a very different character.

“Now that I am playing Prospero instead of Stephano, the drunken butler, I will have to learn many more lines, be not funny, and I suppose stay sober,” said Bates, tongue firmly in cheek.

Bates has been with the company since the very beginning in 1999. “This has been a joyous, educational and challenging ride through Shakespeare’s literary world since playing Iago (my favorite role by the way) in our first production, Othello. My greatest pleasure during these many years since has been to play with, observe and get to know so many smart, energetic, hard working and talented young people, and to have the privilege of watching them grow both on stage and in life on their journey to adulthood.”

“It is an honor,” said Codispoti, “to be working again with Caroline and Bob, who’ve been mentors to me ever since I joined this company fresh out of college.”

You can see Bates and Nesbitt in ATTP’s The Tempest at the Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage, August 4-7, 10 and 11, at 5:30 pm, and at the Sandwich Town Hall Theatre, August 12-14, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm, Sunday at 2 pm. Information and tickets: www.advicetotheplayers.org, or call 284-7115.

Winnisquam Community Players Present Beauty and the Beast Revisit your favorite “Tale As Old As Time” this August as Winnisquam Regional High School presents its summer production of Beauty and the Beast.

As the high school’s first ever summer community production, Beauty and the Beast incorporates community members of all ages, starting at only six years old.

In an effort to strengthen the program and bring it to new levels, director Jason Roy and assistant director David Sheehy felt that this was the best route to take the program.

“I’m so excited about this show,” says lead actress Olivia Martinson of the WRHS graduating class of 2015.

“It’s incredible to witness how theatre at Winnisquam has evolved since I graduated. Jason and David have fostered a level of enthusiasm, positivity, and determination in the students and community that I’ve rarely seen. Beauty and the Beast is the biggest project I’ve been a part of on Winnisquam’s stage, and I can’t wait for people to see the final product.”

The show is acting as an educational program, teaching everyone involved exactly what goes into a full-scale production.

Community member Heather Bishop-Dumka says, “I am really enjoying working with community members of all ages on a musical we all know and love. Having never done musical theatre it has shown me what fun I’ve been missing. It’s a great way to live out my Disney obsession too.”

“Be Our Guest” on August 5 and 6 at 7 pm and August 6 and 7 at 2 pm and enjoy this classic tale you know and love.

Tickets are $9 for students and seniors and $12 for adults, and will be sold at the door if still available. Tickets can be purchased in the main office of the high school from 8 am – 3 pm Mon.-Fri., or online at the following link: www. eventbrite.com/e/beauty-and-the-beasttickets-24525846467.

Winnisquam Regional High School is located at 435 West Main Street, Tilton.

Molly the Trolley—Fun for the Whole Family

By Sarah Wright When I first moved to Wolfeboro with my family, I took my boys for a ride on Molly the Trolley. The kids loved being on a trolley, and I loved learning some history about the town while enjoying a nice breeze. It was also a great way to find out about local shops and businesses, including all the great dining options. Fast forward a few years, and we decided to revisit Molly for a pleasant ride on a balmy summer day.

A popular summer sight around Wolfeboro, Molly the Trolley has been giving people tours of the town for years. Three local businessmen, Gregg Roark, Dave Hemenway, and Dick Eaton originally brought the trolley to Wolfeboro in 1987. With all the summer traffic congestion, they saw a need for helping to shuttle people in and out of the downtown area. Molly was such a hit that she became an attraction all her own. In 1989, Dick and Kathy Eaton bought the trolley, put the drivers in uniforms, wrote up a historic narrative for tours, and started private charters for special events, including weddings. Molly has many sponsors in the community, and in turn, helps promote local businesses.

We met Molly the Trolley at the town docks, and our driver for the day was Kirk Sharrow. He’s a physical education teacher from Milton who’s been driving Molly part time in the summers for the past five years. Before we even left the parking lot, he was already pointing out which mountains we could see from the docks, and giving us great information about Lake Winnipesaukee, like that the name means, “beautiful water in a high place” and that there are 274 habitable islands. I never tire of hearing about our beautiful local lake. Kirk says that the drivers try to tailor the information they give to apply to whoever’s on board.

Whether it’s folks from around town, or people who are visiting the area,

the tour can vary. Another passenger on board with us had recently moved to Wolfeboro from Alton, so she was really excited to see what the town had to offer.

Kirk mentioned the summer concerts at Cate Park, and then we passed the town hall and turned into the Brewster Academy campus. Did you know that the town hall was originally purchased from Brewster Academy for one dollar? What a great bit of trivia! My older son was interested to know that Brewster used to serve as the town high school, and it was free.

When Kingswood opened in the 1960s and became the new high school, Brewster went private. There are many notable people who attended Brewster Academy, including Barbara Walters.

The next stop was the Clark House Museum, with restored buildings dating back to the late 1700s. I’ve been there with the kids, and it’s a wonderful place, full of artifacts from that era, old firefighting equipment, and a one-room schoolhouse.

The trolley still serves as a way to get visitors around town, so we made a pit stop at the Windrifter Resort next to check for riders. While there, Kirk told us about how the woods in the vicinity were controlled by the king of England, hence the term, “Kingswood” that is used all over town. The large, white pines were desired by many for

their sturdy wood.

We then turned around up the road, at the Kingswood Arts Center. Kirk explained to us that Molly the Trolley was actually made in Ogunquit, Maine, and is modeled after the trolleys that run there. In fact, the trolleys in the Ogunquit area all have similar names to Molly, like Lolly and Wally. Kirk drove us past Morrissey’s Front Porch, Crescent Lake, and Huggins Hospital before we turned at Pickering Corner and headed down Center Street. When we passed by the Wright Museum, Kirk mentioned their latest exhibit of Norman Rockwell paintings. He also pointed out the Cotton Valley Trail and the New Hampshire Boat Museum.

Honestly, he talked about so many places that it was hard for me to write it all down fast enough! It really makes one realize how much there is to see and do in Wolfeboro.

The area around the Allen Albee Motor Inn used to be a big resort in the mid-1900s. There were about 50 cabins in the area at the time, a couple of which can still be found behind the 1810 House Bed and Breakfast and Antiques. When we arrived back into town, Kirk drove us down Lehner Street, and when we passed the old fire station, he told a story I didn’t know about Eugene Lehner (for whom the street is named). Eugene was a fire official who fell from the roof of the old fire station while hanging hoses to dry. To honor his memory, the town renamed the street after him.

The trolley turned by the old railroad station next, and Kirk named lots of local shops downtown, mentioning that there are now four different places for art lovers. We did a quick detour up Mill Street to look for passengers by Wolfecatch Fish Market, and then we headed back out toward Sewall Road, • Molly Continued on page 17

Lake Wentworth Sailing Regatta Open to All For all those sailors who love to sail competitively, the New Hampshire Boat Museum, the Lake Wentworth Association, and the Parks and Recreation Department of the Town of Wolfeboro are teaming up to offer the Lake Wentworth Sailing Regatta on Saturday, August 6 with a rain date of Sunday, August 7.

We also learned about the small airport that used to be at the end of Forest Road by Wolfeboro Neck. Kirk told us that Carry Beach was named for the Native American Indians who used to carry their boats across the water there to go fishing. The area is known for some of its spectacular homes located along the shore. Most people know that Jimmy Fallon’s family owns a house over there, as well as the owner of the Celtics, and Estelle Parsons, who has appeared in numerous TV shows, including All in the Family, Roseanne, and Grace and Frankie. The late Jack Lemmon spent much of his childhood in a home on Sewall Road as well.

By now our ride was nearing the end,

but our hearts were full of renewed admiration for this jewel of a town on the “Big Lake.” We drove by Goodhue and Hawkins Navy Yard, where they built wooden boats during WWII. Kirk said that one popular boat, with its engine in the middle, was dubbed “The Laker.” It made me wonder if that was the inspiration for the name of this newspaper.

Molly the Trolley gives tours on the hour from the town docks and on the half-hour from the railroad station information center. Catch a ride daily from 10 am until 4 pm in July and August, unless Molly is on a special charter. For more information, call 5691080 or visit www.wolfeborotrolley. com. It’s an enjoyable ride for everyone!

Carolyn Ramsay Band at Wolfeboro Community Bandstand August 6 The first concert of August in the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand series is a band that has been a popular addition to the series the last two years.

The Carolyn Ramsay Band will be making its third appearance in the bandstand on Saturday, August 6, in the first August concert of the 2016 concert series.

The musicians who comprise the Carolyn Ramsay Band have known each other for years, but the band is relatively new, as the group was formed in 2012. The band’s roots are in rock and folk music and the musicians paint the songs they cover in their own unique way, leaving an impression on

every audience along the way.

Carolyn Ramsay grew up in Canada in a musical family and began playing guitar and singing in middle school.

She hasn’t stopped since and her rhythm guitar and finger picking style add to the overall sound of the band.

Her daughter, Jessica Ramsay, has been inspired by music since her early childhood growing up in Wolfeboro.

She’s been influenced by classic country, blues, folk, R&B and rock throughout her life, and all have had a part in honing her vocal style. Her higher voice blends nicely with her mother’s deep rich tones to form a fantastic harmony at the front of the band.

Chuck Farrell plays lead guitar for the band. He comes to the stage with 20 years of musical experience in a number of different genres, including rock, and folk. Originally from Canada, he now calls central New Hampshire home and his unique style makes a great addition to the band’s full sound.

Bud Clark keeps the music pumping on bass with a strong rhythmic sense and a no-frills style. He has 30 years of experience in a variety of different musical styles, including roots rock, R&B, folk and traditional American music.

Mike Chatigny rounds out the band on drums and background vocals and comes to the band with a wide variety of experience throughout the region and up and down the East coast. He has experience in jazz, Dixieland, rock, pop, reggae, concert music, marches and Broadway show tunes. In addition to his touring experience, he also has many hours of studio recording time under his belt.

The Carolyn Ramsay Band will

bring a unique sound to some of your favorite music, but the band also has some original pieces that will often get mixed into the concerts, making sure there’s a little something for everyone.

The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concert series runs each Saturday night in July and August at 7 pm in Cate Park, on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in downtown Wolfeboro.

While there is no charge to come and listen to the show, a pass-the-bucket donation is taken during intermission and money collected during the concert helps to support the concert series each year.

The Carolyn Ramsay Band will continue the summer series at 7 pm on Saturday, Aug. 6. In 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 as well as at wolfeborobandstand.org. The Wolfeboro Community Bandstand also has a new Facebook page where updates can also be found.

Peaceful Potter Place…and its Garden Story & Photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper If you don’t know about, or have never heard of, Potter Place, you might want to consider a visit to the little area of Andover. Yes, it is technically a bit out of the Lakes Region area but it is worth the trek if you like old railroad stations and country stores and a garden that pays homage of a most unusual resident – Richard Potter.

Rural New Hampshire was a very unlikely place for Potter to settle in the early 1800s. Like many places in the state, it was largely unpopulated and quite remote. But it appealed to Potter, and he made it his home. One of the reasons it was an unlikely place to reside was that Potter was worldly and educated. And his profession was magician. Added to this Potter was African-American (he was known as the Black Magician), and one would assume the welcome in a rural area would be less than friendly.

However, that wasn’t the case. By all accounts, Potter was well liked in the Andover area, and he was a favorite performer at the Thompson Tavern in the town.

“He was born in Hopkinton, Massachusetts,” explains Pat Cutter, president of the Andover Historical Society. “He traveled to Europe and was educated there and apprenticed to a magician where he learned his trade.”

Exact dates are unclear but it is thought he came to have been born in the late 1700s; he bought a large tract of land in Andover in 1814 and died in the Andover area in 1835. Pat says

Gravesite of Richard and Sally Potter. he was well spoken and his image was that of an English gentleman. But in this country, slavery was a reality and when he traveled to the south later in his life, he ran into some trouble now and then.

Potter married a woman named Sally and they had three children – two boys and a girl. Locals referred to their home in Andover in olden times as a mansion, but today it would be just a regular-sized house. Potter and Sally are buried in a modest cemetery with a white picket fence next to where their home once stood.

The house was bought and added on to and was a strikingly beautiful Victorian home which unfortunately burned in 1924. It was next door to the train station, at that time a very busy place.

Over the years, the area continued

to be a bustling little town, with a hotel, livery stable and a few stores.

By the mid 1960s, the train ceased to run due to the advent of automobile travel. The road was once Route 11 and when that was moved, things slowed considerably.

A group of residents of the Andover area felt that the history of the town needed to be saved and the Andover Historical Society was formed. Luck smiled upon the Society when they took over the railroad station as the previous owner offered his collection of railroad memorabilia.

I decided to stop at Potter Place on a sunny and very hot Saturday in late July. I had heard a new garden had been added to the many things to see at the Society’s Potter Place buildings.

(Yes, it is said that this part of Andover is named for Richard Potter.)

Pat Cutter was on duty in the J. C. Emons Store and Post Office, part of the Society’s property. She was eager to tell me about the garden, which was built on the site of Potter’s former home. But she had a lot to share about the entire Potter Place buildings now open to the public every mid May through mid October on Saturdays and Sundays.

I love antiques and old buildings, so I couldn’t wait to see the interior of the old country-style store. As bright and hot as it was outdoors, it was much cooler and darker in the store, just as it would have been in olden days.

In the early years of the 20th century, Potter Place was busy due to the Northern Railroad, which turned from its westward course through Andover by train from Concord, Boston and points south. Businesses included the Hotel Potter, the Blackwater Manor boarding house, a stable, several restaurants, a pool hall, two general stores and a post office. George W. Weed built the J. C. Emons General Store and Post Office in 1912. It was a general store, and later also served as a post office. The store continued in operation until 1958, and the post

office was in service until 1988. (John C. Emons owned and operated the store in the years 1935-40.) H. Everett Humphreys of Andover donated the building to the Andover Historical Society in 1994.

The Society has worked hard to recreate what a typical little general store would have looked like way back when, and I loved the many displays of items one would have been offered in the early 1900s, from canned goods to soap powder! The post office area shows what old-fashioned mail service was like back in days gone by.

Clearly, the store would have been the place for groceries, gossip and mail.

There is even a checkerboard set up as it would have been for local cronies to sit and play a game and catch up on rural gossip. A gift shop is located in the store, where books, videos and other documents of local history are available.

I was eager to see the garden, which Pat told me was the brainchild of Ken Reid. “He was really the driving force behind the garden. He and a friend cleaned up that spot and got it going.”

The garden sits where the former cellar hole of Richard Potter’s home was located, although the big Victorian home occupied the spot before in burned in the 1920s. It was the big cellar hole that had to be cleared of a lifetime of debris such as rocks and sticks. Then Ken got donations of plants and the idea caught on. After about eight years, the garden is now a wonderful, shaded area across a rail trail and the railroad station. The cellar hole shows the large size of the Victorian home, and paths wind through the garden. It is a tribute to Richard and Sally Potter, and a sign by the garden says, “To Richard and Sally I say In this fast changing world One thing remains constant and undistorted – The beauty of this place you once called home.

This garden is for you.”

I sat a spell on a garden bench and soaked in the peace and quiet and suddenly I could see what drew Potter to the area so long ago. It was very still and a hot breeze rustled the trees surrounding the cellar hole garden.

I couldn’t leave Potter Place without a stop at the 1874 railroad station. Inside, many old items relating to the railroad long ago are on display. Pat says it was a bustling station at one time, with travelers, businessmen, and even girls coming to attend Colby Sawyer college in nearby New London.

Turf Talk Railroad Station at Potter Place.

• Day Tripping Continued from page 20 station still standing in Merrimack County, NH, and perhaps the best 19th century wooden railroad station surviving in New Hampshire. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The architecture is an adaptation of the late 19th-century Victorian Stick Style to railroad station design, with its stickwork, brackets and bargeboards. The broad hip roof with slate covering, the wide overhanging eaves with large elaborate brackets, and the projecting bay window for the station manager’s office, all add to the striking appearance of the station. The interior of the station reveals much of its origi-

nal functions and appearance. The stationmaster’s office retains total historic authenticity. There is the main waiting room, with its access to the ticket window. Also there are the separate gents’ and lady’s waiting rooms, each with their adjoining rest rooms. The baggage room at the end of the station was later converted to a milk room where cans of milk were stored waiting for shipment on the early morning train to Boston.”

Today, the station houses the Society’s museum with artifacts from their collection.

Also offered are a little red caboose, freight car and freight shed and the Tucker Mt. Schoolhouse. (The 1837 schoolhouse is in a different location

The Art Place Opens Semi-Annual Peter Ferber Gallery Show August 6 On Saturday, August 6, The Art Place in downtown Wolfeboro will hold its semi-annual Peter Ferber Gallery Show featuring new original paintings by local well-known artist Peter Ferber. The unveiling and artist’s reception will commence at 9:30 am.

All are welcome to attend and meet the artist.

Peter Ferber has been showing at The Art Place gallery in downtown Wolfeboro since the early 1990’s.

Peter creates works of art that take the viewer to wondrous places, many of which surround us all here in the Lakes Region. Peter uses his natural and honed set of skills to create works of art that are familiar, yet unique. One only needs to look at his body of work at The Art Place to see how he has grown as an artist, not to mention his popularity.

The Art Place has a show with new original art by Peter once in February and once in August. There is a line that forms outside the door on the day of the opening. Some people plan their vacation time around the date of the show, and many come from far away to be at one of Peter’s shows. They should not be disappointed for this upcoming event—there are many breathtaking pieces and iconic vistas for this display.

A scene of Lake Winnipesaukee from a roadside viewing area that captures the essence of Lake Winnipesaukee is one such painting. The painting itself could be set on any lake, but those of us who are familiar with “our” Lake’s distinct features, like Rattlesnake Island and the Belknap mountains in the distance, will recognize the scene. Peter, in his unique approach, has changed the foreground so as to bring the viewer into the picture more gradually, but the overall image is still quite familiar.

Another vista that will be featured in this show is titled “Robert’s Cove Welcome.” It is a scene many people will recognize leading the viewer

Towards the Barber’s Pole by Peter Ferber

through fields and stone walls, down to one of the prettiest settings on Lake Winnipesaukee—Robert’s Cove and the south end of the Lake. Through the use of his oil paints, Peter has created an atmospheric, slightly hazy summer’s day— a hint of pink in the sky indicates the beginning of a quintessential sunset. It is indeed a welcoming sight.

For Peter, the process of preparing to paint for a show at The Art Place requires some planning, along with a whole lot of passion. Peter has in his mind what his subject matter is months before he puts paint to paper

(or scissors to paper in some cases with his cut paper projects). Barbara Gibbs, owner of The Art Place, talks about Peters approach. “Peter comes to me with a folder full of ideas and want-tobe paintings. The folder consists of new as well as accumulated ideas. Some ideas may have been haunting him for a while, Peter passing it over to do at another time, or saving it for when he has more time. In the folder will also be new ideas, perhaps an image that caught his eye when he was working on another painting. He opens the folder and shows me copies of images that have bits of tissue paper taped one to the other. There are sketches overlapping images, or faint images and worn photographs that he took years ago, as well as notations made by Peter along the edge. The ideas consist of perhaps a particular boathouse with unique architectural elements. A tree root that appeals to him will be incorporate into the left side of another image. Perhaps a sketch of a portion of a boat will be used in a painting with a dock, etc. From these photos, sketches, bits and pieces, he has a clear image of what he wants to paint. I, on the other

Spend

hand, am a bit dizzied and dazzled by all that is before me. He slows down long enough to describe his vision, all the time excited about his next prospects of work for the show. In his head he sees the piece completed, and casually says to me, ‘now all I have to do is paint it!’”

This past May, Peter was featured on WMUR’s New Hampshire Chronicles.

The segment gave people an idea of Peter’s approach to painting, as well showing his easy, natural character.

Peter is unaffected by his success in the field. He believes that he has been blessed with a gift, and is happy that he can share it with others. His humility befits his art.

Since 1994 Peter Ferber has painted the official posters for the New England Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society’s annual show, which also comes as highly collectable artist proofs. Peter has exhibited in over 50 shows in New England and the Midwest. More than 100 reproductions of his work have been made, including over 70 limited edition prints.

Peter Ferber’s illustrations have appeared in national magazines, including Yankee, Antiques and Connoisseur, and a number of books including a retrospective of the poetry and prose of Doris Peel, entitled Journey to a New Day, and a children’s book written by his wife, Jeannie Ferber, entitled The Tails of Quince and Flute in Semer Wood.

Peter Ferber’s Gallery Show at The Art Place will be on display through August 20, or as long as paintings are available. The Art Place is the exclusive gallery for Peter Ferber’s original artwork, and produces most of his limited edition prints. The Art Place is located at 9 North Main Street, downtown Wolfeboro and is open year round and daily all summer. For more information, please call 569-6159 or toll free 866-569-6159.

Breaking Glass Ceilings on the Annual Boathouse Tour Story & Photo by Barbara Neville Wilson Joy Pheeney Messineo’s lips turn up just a little, and her voice gets a catch in it, like a kid excited about Christmas. I sense her eyes dancing behind her sunglasses as she confides, ”It’s my favorite day of the year.”

We’re talking on a beautiful hot afternoon in July, with breezes causing just enough chop in Winter Harbor that I’m sitting on the dock while she speaks from the second cockpit of “Mizpah,” her 26-ft.

Hacker-Craft. We had planned for her to take me for a spin, but safety wins out, and we’re on land.

The subject is the 10th Annual Boathouse Tour with the New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) coming up on August 11. For the sixth time, she will drive boatloads of guests from classic boathouse to classic boathouse, sharing her love of the lake, and tidbits about who spent time in which cottage.

She will point out the Marriott compound on Tuftonboro Neck and where Jack Lemmon spent time on Jockey Cove. And everyone will ask where Jimmy Fallon hangs out when he’s in Wolfeboro.

“It’s my favorite day of the year.

I get to be on the lake. I’m in my boat all day, and I’m making people happy. What could be better than that?”

Joy was first introduced to the Tour when Kristen Isley asked if her boathouse could be a destination.

Built in 2001, it is 40 x 40 ft., and sports a wood shake roof and an impressive German Shepherd-

Joy Messineo and her beloved “Mizpah” Hacker-Craft will provide ferry to Boathouse Tour destinations August 11. topped weathervane created

by Walter Liff, an artist from Newcastle, NH. Inside, it’s simple and utilitarian: two bays, solid mahogany decking and massive crossed I-beams that can handle the hoisting of the 4,800 pound Mizpah from water at season’s end.

Joy and her husband Steve were so impressed by the organization of the Tour, that she volunteered to give rides in Mizpah the next year, and Steve became a dockhand.

Joy was, and remains, the Boathouse Tour’s sole female captain. “I’m sure there are other women out there who probably can

do it,” she says, but they’ve not joined up yet, so each year she’s the only captain to don a pink NHBM cap.

Joy has been on Lake Winnipesaukee all her life and credits her father for her love of boating. A family home on Wolfeboro Bay came with a large boathouse, so, naturally, her father felt obliged to fill it with wooden boats. She fondly remembers her first “Mizpah,” a 17-ft. Chris Craft she was driving at age 14. One day she took it to Goodhue & Hawkins Navy Yard to fill its gas tank.

Nat Goodhue was alive then and

he was a “good old Yankee,” she says. He greeted her with a terse, “Young lady, it’s about time you learned to dock a wooden boat.”

And so, she stayed with Nat for hours, learning the fine points. It was a pivotal moment in her life, for now, decades later, her docking skills are frequently noted as ones to emulate among the predominantly male ranks.

Joy has gained a following on the Boathouse Tour. Some of her passengers are regulars, returning and asking for her year after year.

Because they and so many others make the Boathouse Tour a tradition, the NHBM makes sure they feature fresh boathouses annually. They range from simple, turn-of-the-last century structures to newer all-thebells-and-whistles moderns, and every year, the itinerary is kept under wraps until the actual event.

Joy can tell me, though, that after 10 years, the Boat Museum will expand their tour boundaries in 2017.

The Tour is a well-oiled machine.

From the moment tickets go on sale, details are attended to, and tourist’s enjoyment, comfort and safety given full shrift. Joy gives credit to Kristen Isley for her attentiveness to every aspect, from recruiting boathouse owners and volunteers, to organizing the schedule that includes water tours by classic boats, road tours in vintage autos, and self-guided car tours. A few island boathouses are always included, so water and road tour routes necessarily differ.

Each tour is custom-planned. Most boathouses only have dock space for two boats, so timing between tours is extremely important. Dockhands and drivers work together to make sure docking runs smoothly and efficiently, and Joy gives huge credit to the event’s Dockmaster, Howard Isley and Boat Captain Tom Fergus, who start their work weeks before the August event.

Drivers have to be familiar

with the idiosyncrasies of every boathouse dock, as well as the best place to idle if dock space is full. Tom does a “Wet Run” of all stops early in the season and then takes every driver out to acclimate and familiarize them with the Tour Route. The captains are so wellstudied that they make landing look like “a piece of cake,” Joy says. In reality, smooth landings are born of years of experience, practice and knowledge of the lake and its currents and weather.

Old Home Days Celebrate Local Town Heritage

By Sarah Wright Many Lakes Region towns are getting ready to celebrate annual Old Home Days. It’s such a great way to bring everyone in the community together.

But it got me wondering—how did these town celebrations get started? It turns out that Old Home Week was the idea of a New Hampshire Governor named Frank West Rollins. Throughout the 19th century, local farming towns had been losing population, and Rollins noticed. Much needed workers and money were being drained away to build up the rest of the country. The state government was in debt, as were three quarters of the towns.

In 1899, Rollins asked the Board of Agriculture to coordinate an Old Home Week. He hoped that those who had left their hometowns would return and buy one of the many abandoned farms in the state as a summer home or donate money to spruce up their town.

The state issued an invitation across the nation to its sons and daughters toiling in the cities, in the fields of the Midwest, and the mining camps of Montana, and it caught on.

By 1907, the idea of Old Home Week had expanded from New Hampshire to all of the New England states as well as New York, Ohio, Alabama, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and onto Nova Scotia, Ontario, and even Australia.

Since then, most towns have condensed the week down to a day or two, but the feeling remains the

same. Here are a few of the scheduled celebrations around the Lakes Region.

Gilford Old Home Day will be on Saturday, August 27. This year’s theme is “Cruisin’ the Lakes Region.” Don’t miss the Old Home Day 5K Run/Walk Race beginning at 8 am. Later on, at 5 pm, there is a half-mile race for kids age 12 and under. There are always great floats in the parade (which starts at 10 am), unique crafts, delicious food, games, evening entertainment by King Chrome and then the Community Band. And of course, a fabulous fireworks display to end the night.

During Gilford Old Home Day, the Gilford Community Church on Potter

Hill Road is a big part of the action.

On Friday evening, August 26, the church offers food booths, music and their famous white elephant sale and book sale in the church. Also offered is the chance to bid on a wide array of silent auction items. The fair continues on Saturday, August 27; the Gilford Rotary puts on a pancake breakfast in the Youth Center, adjacent to the church, on August 27 starting at 7 am.

Call 524-6057 for details on the church events.

On August 13, Belmont will be celebrating Old Home Day, with this year’s theme being “Bridging Our Generations.” Day and evening

activities will include the parade at 1 pm, a 10-mile road race, three-person cow pie relay race, Tioga Fun Run, a pedal tractor pull and other children’s games, live music, a chicken BBQ and other food concessions, a rock climbing wall, and spectacular fireworks.

Classic rock band King Chrome will be entertaining folks during the day at the Downtown Bandstand, while the B Street Bombers will perform their blend of R&B, rock and funk in the evening at Bryant Park.

The town of Sandwich celebrates all week long with their 118th Old Home Week from Sunday, August 7 until Sunday, August 14. There is so much to do that it’s mind-boggling!

To start off the week on Sunday, there is a picnic at the Community Church of Sandwich, adult pick-up soccer, and in the evening, Advice to The Players presents Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

(The play will also be performed on other days during Old Home Week.)

On Monday is the fishing derby at Littles Pond for those 12 and under and later, an ultimate Frisbee game for the adults. On Tuesday, go on a shopping spree at the library book sale and the Community Church Ladies Aid Annual Fair. Also at the library that morning, bring your kids to see a silly show performed by Steve Blunt and Friends.

Come to the cookout on Quimby Field at noon on Wednesday, followed by races, a tug-of-war, a pie-eating contest, • Old Home Continued on page 37

On Tuesday August 9, Douglas Stark will be at the Museum to discuss his book Wartime Basketball: The Emergence of a National Sport during World War II. The book tells the story of basketball’s survival and development during World War II and how those years profoundly affected the game’s growth after the war. Before World War II, basketball – professional and collegiate – was largely a regional game, with different styles played throughout the country. Among its many impacts on home front life, the war forced pro and amateur leagues to contract and combine rosters to stay competitive. At the same time, the U.S. military created base teams made up of top players who found themselves in uniform. The war created the opportunity for players from different parts of the country to play with and against each other. As a result, a more consistent form of basketball began to take shape. Weaving stories from the court into wartime and homefront culture like a finely threaded bounce pass, Wartime Basketball sheds light on important developments in the sport’s history that has been largely

overlooked.

Douglas Stark is the museum director at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island. He is also the author of The SPHAS: The Life and Times of Basketball’s Greatest Jewish Team. Mr. Stark will also be available to sign copies of his work.

Monday August 15 from 10 am to 4 pm, the Museum presents its 3rd Annual Film Festival. This year’s film festival honors the 75th anniversary of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor by showing two extraordinary documentaries.

Wright Museum Director Mike Culver will introduce each of the two selected films.

Pearl Harbor – The Real Story is a 2001 documentary that includes the stories of sixty men and women who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The film includes footage that hasn’t been seen until now. As a bonus, the film takes the viewer on a tour of Pearl Harbor today, showing historic buildings and the sunken USS Arizona.

The film runs 180 minutes.

The second film will be The History Channel Presents – Pearl Harbor: The Definitive Documentary. This History Channel production provides an indepth look at the Japanese attack on the American Pacific fleet in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The 2001 documentary traces the roots of the conflict in the Pacific, which resulted in the Japanese attack and runs 150 minutes.

Admission to the Film Festival is free to Museum Members and with paid Museum Admission.

On Tuesday, August 16, Dr. Sarah Batterson will present a lecture titled “Fighting ‘Jane Crow’: AfricanAmerican Women in World War II.” During World War II, AfricanAmericans helped fight fascism and racism in Europe as factory workers, soldiers, sailors, airmen, and nurses while at the same time they were being

continually subjected to segregation, violence, and prejudice at home. For African-American women, the wartime experience provided unprecedented job opportunities and improved financial stability, which essentially ended at the close of the war. By exploring individual biographies and organizational histories, Sarah Batterson investigates the impact of World War II on African-American women and assess how the war both expanded opportunities for women and exposed gender and racial prejudices, which set the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movements of the 1950s and 1960s.

Professor Sarah Batterson holds a Ph.D. in History from the University of New Hampshire and a joint-M.A. in Anthropology and Women’s Studies.

She currently teaches courses in African-American history and Gender history at the University of New Hampshire. An avid history enthusiast since the age of eight, in her spare time Batterson can be found reading about the past or exploring historical sites around New England.

On Tuesday, August 30 author Kati Preston will be at the museum for a lecture and book signing for her book Holocaust and Healing, The Story of a 5-Year-Old Holocaust Survivor.

Join 75-year-old Preston, a child survivor of the holocaust who was hidden in an attic by a heroic peasant woman. Preston will discuss how her whole Jewish family was exterminated and how the Hungarian Nazis hunted her with bayonets in the hayloft where she was hidden when she was five years old. Preston’s talk is not about being a victim, which she is not. She is a survivor. Preston has a message of hope, survival, love, and hope for a better future.

Kati Preston speaks at many venues – schools, colleges, churches, and pretty much anywhere where people are willing to listen. She feels that her presentations make a difference, however small.

On Tuesday, September 6, David Sakura will present “Interment of Japanese-Americans: A Father’s Voice and a Young Boy’s Remembrances.”

New Hampshire resident David Sakura is a third generation JapaneseAmerican (Sansei). Prior to WWII, David’s family and relatives lived in Eatonville, WA. Shortly after the outbreak of WWII, David’s family was transported along with several hundred friends and neighbors to the Minidoka Relocation Center, in Idaho. While interned, David’s father and three uncles enlisted into the U.S. Army and served with the all Japanese-American 442 Regimental Combat Team, one of the most decorated units in U.S. military history. By using excerpts from his father’s letters from the Minidoka Relocation Center and 8 mm film from his pre-WWII childhood, David will offer a highly personal account of his family’s internment experiences.

Sakura holds a Ph.D in Biochemistry and a MPH from the Harvard Chan School of Public Health.

The film On the Wing will be shown on September 13 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm with a special discussion with film

producer Brad Branch.

In the midst of winter, 1944, a twominute air battle took place in the skies above Ehrwald, Austria. The fight involved American and German aircraft. The losses totaled sixteen aircraft, eight on each side, and the lives of more than thirty men. On the Wing is an emotional look at the 15th Air Force, sixty years after that fight, which was one of the shortest and most intensive air battles to occur over central European air space during World War II. This 90-minute documentary film, was conceived and developed by Brad Branch, who also served as executive producer.

On Tuesday, September 20, join the Museum for a lecture by Dr. Douglas Wheeler entitled “De-coding Espionage in World War II.” Douglas Wheeler’s intriguing slideand-lecture presentation features four pivotal World War II espionage and intelligence cases, presented within their historical context. The cases are Britain’s “Double XX system” (MI5); the “Ultra secret”; the Pearl Harbor surprise attack; and the course and consequences of Soviet espionage on the American A-bomb project, the Manhattan Project.

Wheeler has been a member of the History faculty at University of New Hampshire, Durham, since 1965.

He also lectures for New Hampshire Humanities Council and has authored many articles and chapters and nine books. Wheeler served in U.S. Army Intelligence (1963-65) and has published historical studies in The Intelligencer, which is the journal of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers.

Dr. Wheeler will present again on September 27 with the lecture “An Examination of the Attack on Pearl Harbor.”

Douglas Wheeler opens his lecture with the following question: “As of December 6, 1941, the U.S. government was secretly reading Japan’s highest level diplomatic codes (MAGIC), so why were we so badly surprised on Dec. 7, 1941?” During the course of his lecture, Wheeler discusses the historic context of the attack, which propelled the US into a Pacific and an Atlantic war. He also talks about how the US intelligence system functioned at the time of the attack, presents theories on this still hotly debated topic, and examines the events of Dec. 7, 1941 and their consequences in World War II and global history.

Finally, on Tuesday, October 4 Quint-Essential Winds will perform at the Museum. Quint-Essential Winds debuted in 2008, bringing together five musicians with more than 150 years of collective study and performance spanning three continents. The quintet performs throughout New England performing a variety of musical styles, from classical to popular to seasonal.

This evening’s performance includes the works of Mozart, Persichetti, Copland, Beach, Ewazen, D’Rivera, Milhaud, Grainger and Gershwin.

The 2016 Education Programs are made possible by the generous sponsorship of Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney.

Have Fun and Learn at 14th Annual Woods, Water and Wildlife Festival!

Moose Mountains Regional th Greenways’ 14 annual Woods, Water & Wildlife Festival will take place on Saturday, August 13 from 10 am to 3 pm at Branch Hill Farm, 307 Applebee Road in Milton Mills. This day-long celebration of the great outdoors is an opportunity for families to have fun and experience the delights of the natural world together. It’s also essential in helping MMRG achieve one of its underlying missions: conservation education for both kids and adults. Helping people understand and appreciate the natural world are fundamental steps in building a desire to preserve it.

For kids, the emphasis is on having fun and exploring the outdoors. Kids are fascinated by animals, and they get plenty of opportunities to get up close and personal with a variety of living

creatures at the Festival. They can peer through a Discovery Scope at the tiny things that inhabit pond water, feed and pet Ruth Scruton’s barnyard animals, or learn about the rescued wildlife displayed at the Squam Lakes Wildlife Workshop. There are fish to be caught in the farm pond, pelts to touch in the Mountain Man’s Hut, and a tunnel that gives kids a worm’s view of life in the soil. Other events feature bees, goats, draft horses and chickens for kids and adults to observe and learn about.

Some festival events and activities challenge kids’ observation skills, problem-solving abilities, and coordination. Even so, Nature’s Playground and the Amazing Corn Maze are so much fun that your children may not want to leave! For puzzle lovers, the Kids Discover the Forests activity and the MMRG Conservation Quest provide

a different type of adventure. How about learning to find geo caches with your GPS, or becoming a Watershed Warrior?

The Festival takes place rain or shine.

No pets please. Restrooms and most events are wheelchair accessible. The cost is $5/person or $10/family and free to ages 12 and under and to MMRG members; all events are included in the admission price. For more information, visit www.mmrg.info/festival.

Festival proceeds and business sponsorships support MMRG’s land conservation and educational outreach mission. MMRG is grateful to its festival underwriters, the Siemon Company and Branch Hill Farm/Carl Siemon Family Charitable Trust, which is also the co-presenter. MMRG would like to thank the following major sponsors: Bruce and Jennifer Rich, Carl and Beth

Siemon, Charlie Moreno Consulting Forester, the Gene Hays Family, and S&S Plumbing and Heating. Thanks are also due to many more business, organizational, and individual sponsors and supporters and to the dedicated volunteers who have already signed up to help out. More volunteers are needed; please call Kari Lygren at 978-7125. A few business sponsorships of festival events are still available; please contact Virginia Long at virginia.mmrg@gmail. com.

Landscaping At The Water’s Edge The Lake Winnipesaukee Association (LWA), in partnership with the Moultonborough Conservation Commission, is hosting a free program on landscaping practices that help protect and improve water quality on Tuesday, August 9. The program will be held from 6:30 – 8 pm at the Moultonborough Public Safety Building, Route 25, Moultonborough.

UNH Cooperative Extension’s “Landscaping at the Water’s Edge” program will be presented by Cathy Neal, who will provide an introduction to landscape strategies for protecting and improving water quality. In addition to discussing fertilizer and landscaping chemical use, the program will also focus on control of our stormwater - “Slow it Down, Spread it out, and Soak it in!”

Vegetated areas such as buffers and rain gardens are meant to enhance filtration through soils and plants that absorb water and filter out contaminants. With practices suitable for every residential property, you will see that you can make a difference and still have attractive landscapes that serve an important pollution-prevention function in your watershed. The Lake Winnipesaukee Association will also present a brief review of the Moultonborough Bay Inlet Watershed Restoration Plan project.

There is no cost to attend the program; however, pre-registration is requested and can be done through the Lake Winnipesaukee Association’s website; www.winnipesaukee.org or at www. eventbrite.com/e/landscaping-by-thewaters-edge-tickets-26543460204?aff=es2.

Artisans in the Gardens Return to Artisans on the Green Gardeners know they are artists; they work with color, texture, form and design, all while getting their vitamin D and exercise. So artisans of the garden, as members of the Bearcamp Valley Garden Club (BVGC), are joining the Artisans on the Green, August 11 on the lawn in front of the Sandwich Home Industries in Sandwich.

The Club booth will display and sell a variety of garden art: photo note cards, with scenes from local gardens, succulent planters in handmade hypertufa pots, decorative garden stepping stones, and of course flower arrangements and plants.

BVGC is thrilled to be among the Artisans on the Green. It is the club’s biggest fundraising event, bringing in funds for the town plantings in Sandwich and Tamworth, and for the club’s UNH scholarship; and it is also

a perfect way to introduce the public to the club’s interests and activities.

Artisans on the Green is a traditional part of Old Home Week in Center Sandwich and will take over the lawn in front of the Sandwich Home Industries, across from the Post Office and the Corner House, on August 11, from 10 am to 4:30 pm. Free parking, lunch for sale, an extensive art show and demonstrations by artisans and crafters make this a must-attend event.

The Bearcamp Valley Garden Club, established in 1938 with a mission to promote an interest in all phases of gardening and horticulture, is open to men and women from any town in the region and conducts activities through the year. More information on the club and its activities can be found at www. bearcampvalleygardenclub.org.

Tuftonboro Old Home Days Cardboard Boat Race Set For Aug. 27 Calling all would be sailors, boat builders & water sport enthusiasts. Break out the cardboard, duct tape & glue to design and build a corrugated water vessel for the first annual Tuftonboro Old Home Days Cardboard Boat Race at 3pm on Saturday August 27 at 19 Mile Beach (Bay Road).

The rules of the race are quite simple; all vessels are to be constructed of corrugated cardboard (of any thickness). Waxed or pretreated cardboard or Sona tubes are prohibited. Untreated carpet tubes are allowed. Only latex paint, varnish, liquid nails (glue) and duct tape may be used.

You cannot wrap the entire boat with plastic or duct tape. The crew compartment cannot be enclosed as to interfere with escape in the event of capsize or sinking.

Decorations are encouraged but should not affect structural strength or buoyancy.

Propulsion (what makes the boat move around in the water) paddles, oars, or sheer muscle power. The oars are not part

of the boat proper and do not need to be constructed of cardboard. No motors, push starts or help from anyone outside of crew on boats allowed.

All participants must wear Coast Guard approved life preservers.

Any boats that may by chance meet their demise will be removed from the water in its entirety by its crew and pit team and may be helped by any bystanders who may take pity upon them. All crafts sunken or otherwise must be removed from premises at the end of race.

Awards for Speed, Team Spirit and the Titanic Award (most Dramatic sinking) will be given following the race.

Sound like Fun? Being a spectator is almost as fun as being a participant!

Upcoming Events with the Squam Lake Association Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) for the sixth summer program in its Adventure Ecology series titled, “Identifying Trees in the Squam Lakes Region.” The program will take place on Friday, August 5 from 12 to 2 pm in the Chamberlain-Reynolds Memorial Forest. SLA conservation intern, Katri Gurney, will lead a tranquil walk through the forest while discussing the history of the forests surrounding Squam Lake and identifying trees native to the region. Expect to walk a minimum of two miles and a maximum of four miles. Participants will meet in the east parking lot. All ages are welcome.

Roughly eighty-five percent of New Hampshire is covered in forest. The trees of these forests are a valuable resource, providing significant economic opportunities that include recreation, forestry, paper manufacturing, and syrup production. Forests also provide significant environmental benefits by increasing biodiversity, working as carbon sinks, and increasing water quality. According to the New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands, however, the area of forested land in the state has decreased since the 1980s. The decrease is mainly due to development in the southern portion of the state. Placing land in conservation is one of the primary methods of reducing the development of forested lands.

The forests of New Hampshire are home to about seventy native tree species. The program will explain the methods used to identify trees and enable participants to distinguish between trees of the same species.

Participants should be capable of identifying numerous native trees by the end of the walk and be able to explain the benefits of conserving the region’s forests.

For more information, or to sign up for this Adventure Ecology Program, visit the SLA website (squamlakes.org) or contact the SLA directly (968- 7336).

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

Every Friday from June 17 through August 19, these free programs are open to the public and cover a variety of nature and conservation related topics.

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

Later in the month, join the Squam Lakes Association for two boatbuilding workshops. There is nothing more gratifying than building your own boat. This August, the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) will be hosting two boat-building workshops instructed by some of the most talented and • SLA Continued on page 45

GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO BAIT. • SLA Continued from page 44 renowned boat builders in the state.

The first session is run by the New Hampshire Boat Museum offering an Adult and Family boat building workshop with the opportunity to build a one-person canoe or a Bevin’s Skiff.

This session begins Monday, August 15 and ends Wednesday August 24 where adults can work individually or as a team with family and/or children to build together.

The SLA also welcomes renowned boat builder Bill Thomas of Bill Thomas Woodworking LLC, beginning Saturday August 27 to Friday September 2, as he instructs a week-long course in building your very own unique canoe that is sure to become a treasured family heirloom.

Fox is a decked double paddle canoe, a boat intended for protected waters along the coast, for lakes and for all those appealing backwaters and creeks you are always driving by and meaning to explore someday.

In a review featured in Wooden Boat’s annual Small Boats issue Mike O’Brien commented on Fox’s handling, “Fox appears to have just the right amount of directional stability. It likes to keep going where we point it, yet it turns easily and predictably.”

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

For more information, pricing, or to sign up for this workshop, visit the Squam Lakes Association website www.squamlakes.org, or contact the SLA directly (968-7336). Please note that the class size is limited to 12 boats. Additional family or friends are welcome to come in to help with the building of the boat at no additional charge.

Two Lead-Poisoned Loons Found in New Hampshire Two loon deaths from ingested lead fishing tackle have been documented in New Hampshire so far this summer. The first lead-poisoned loon was discovered June 17 on Long Pond in Lempster.

The loon was already deceased when it was found on the shoreline of an island on the pond. Radiographs at Meadow Pond Animal Hospital showed lead tackle in the loon’s gizzard, and a necropsy found fishing line and two fishing jigs that tested positive for lead.

The bird’s body fluids were also tested and showed a high lead level, well above the threshold for clinical lead poisoning.

July and August are when leadpoisoned loons are most often found, which correlates with peak lake use and fishing pressure in New Hampshire.

The NH Fish and Game Department and The Loon Preservation Committee urge anglers to stop using lead tackle to protect loons and other lake wildlife.

Poisoning from lead fishing tackle is the leading cause of adult loon mortality in New Hampshire. The loss of so many adults from this preventable cause of mortality has inhibited the recovery of loons in New Hampshire, according to the LPC. “Because loons do not breed on average until 6-7 years of age and have low reproductive success, it is important that adult loons survive for many years to produce surviving young,” said Harry Vogel, Senior Biologist and Executive Director at LPC. “The loss of an adult loon may also result in the loss of that loon’s nest or chicks, further negatively impacting the population.”

These loon deaths come just weeks after the implementation of a new law strengthening the ban on lead fishing tackle in the state. New Hampshire was the first state in the nation to restrict the use of small lead fishing tackle in lakes and ponds beginning in 2000.

Subsequent legislation to restrict the use of this tackle in all freshwater in New Hampshire took effect in 2005, and the sale was restricted beginning • Loon Continued on page 47

What To Do With Household Hazardous Waste Safely rid your home of hazardous products such as oil-based paint, lawn and garden chemicals, and fluorescent light bulbs. Residents and residential taxpayers in the 24 participating communities may bring up to 10 gallons or 50 pounds of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) to any one

of the collection sites throughout the region.

On August 6, HHW will be collected at the NH DOT Garage in Bristol, the Public Works Garage in Laconia on Bisson Avenue, and the Town Highway Garages in Center Ossipee and Moultonborough. For a list of

the ability to address. It is something we can choose to change,” said Laura Ryder, Education Programs Supervisor at Fish and Game. “Anglers have always been great conservationists.

This new law, now in effect, gives us the opportunity to make a positive difference in the aquatic environment and our loon population.”

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (www.wildnh.com) works in partnership with the public to conserve, manage and protect the state’s fish, wildlife and marine resources and their habitats; inform and educate the public about these resources; and provide the public with opportunities to use and appreciate these resources.

The Loon Preservation Committee (www.loon.org) monitors loons throughout the state as part of its mission to restore and maintain a healthy population of loons in New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the natural world.

in 2006. A new law implemented on June 1, 2016, increased protection for loons and other waterfowl banning the sale and freshwater use of lead jigs weighing one ounce or less, regardless of length, adding to the previous ban on lead sinkers one ounce or less.

The Loon Preservation Committee and NH Fish and Game are part of a region-wide initiative called Fish Lead Free (www.fishleadfree.org), which is dedicated to providing resources for anglers across New England to help them make the switch to lead-free tackle. Safe alternatives to lead tackle, made of steel, tungsten, tin, bismuth and many other materials, are effective and readily available. Learn more tips and tactics for fishing lead-free at www.wildnh.com/fishing/get-thelead-out.html. Collection receptacles for old lead tackle can be found at all New Hampshire Fish and Game offices and at The Loon Center in Moultonborough.
