officially opens at 10 am, so make this breakfast your first stop before discovering and exploring all of the many fun things to do. Another great way to start the day is participating in a relaxing morning yoga class on the lawn by the Belknap Mill. In the afternoon, a DJ will transform the lawn into a dance party.

If you’d like to take a scenic train ride during the festival, your first stop should be purchasing tickets from the Laconia train station for your preferred time. The Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad will be offering scenic excursions aboard the Pumpkin Express, departing from the Laconia station every hour beginning at 11 am, with the last departure at 6 pm. Last year, tickets sold out fast!

Now, the first place may people will want to go is the “Punkin CROSSing” Kids Zone for fun and games. Kids will love to meet Jack the Mascot

By Sarah Wright “Live Free and Carve” at the annual Pumpkin Festival on October 14, and enjoy a whole day of amazing events!

New this year is a preview from 4 to 8 pm the night before the big day. I can’t think of a better way to spend Friday the 13th than walking among spooky pumpkins. Over 40,000 people come out each year to participate in this community-hosted, family friendly event to celebrate fall in New Hampshire and of course, all things pumpkin!

The festivities kick off at 9 am on Saturday with the Runaway Pumpkin 10K run and 5K run/walk. Don’t miss the fun run with beautiful views of Lake Opechee, chip timing, cash prizes, and awards for different age categories.

Come out and support this community fundraising effort led by the employees of the Laconia Clinic to benefit the WOW Trail and the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction. The race starts and finishes at the Smith Track at Opechee Park on North Main Street.

Parking for this event is available at the Laconia Middle School and the Pleasant Street School.

Also, from 9 am until noon, the Holy Trinity School on Church Street will be serving up a delicious pancake breakfast with buttermilk or pumpkin pancakes for just $5.00 a plate! It’s the perfect way to start the day on a crisp fall morning. The festival itself

“John Winant: New Hampshire Man of the World” Presented by Richard Hess The Wright Museum will host the 20th lecture in its Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney 2017 Educational Program Series on Tuesday, September 19 from 7 to 8 pm at the Wright Museum, 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro, NH. The doors open at 6 pm.

John G. Winant, three-time governor of New Hampshire, went on to serve the nation in several capacities on the national and international scene. In the process he became a hero to the British in World War Two and to the common man throughout the developed world.

His life, marked by highs and lows,

ended tragically in his mansion in Concord. The program examines his life and measures his impact at home and abroad.

The program will be presented

by Richard A. Hesse J.D., Georgetown University; Professor Emeritus, University of New Hampshire School of Law. Professor Hesse served as a community lawyer in Philadelphia heading a police community relations project before moving to Boston to head a national project focused on the constitutional rights of consumers. Hesse has been an advocate for civil and human rights for more than 25 years

It’s Time to Order Holiday Wreaths from the Wolfeboro Garden Club Although we’re still enjoying summer weather, it’s time to start thinking about ordering your holiday wreaths from the Wolfeboro Garden Club. Proceeds from the wreath sales - the club’s only fundraiser for the year - sustain the group’s scholarship fund, the planting and maintenance of 11 town gardens, and other special community projects.

For example, money from the wreath sales supports the club’s partnership with the Agricultural Science program of the Region 9 Voc Tech at Kingswood Regional High School. Students from the towns of Wolfeboro, Ossipee, Alton, Tuftonboro, Brookfield, New Durham, Effingham, Moultonborough, and Barnstead participate in this program.

The wreaths are premium quality, double-sided fresh and fragrant

Balsam fir. They are decorated with a generously sized, hand-tied bow in one of six ribbon choices that include three new selections this year. Sizes available include 16, 22, 30, and 36inch outside diameter. The 22-inch wreath is the perfect size for a standard door; the 30-inch size is suitable for an extra-large door. A 10-yard garland made of Balsam, Cedar and White Pine is also available.

Wreaths will be delivered on Wednesday and Thursday the week before Thanksgiving.

Wolfeboro Garden Club members already have started visiting local businesses to take orders. The club also welcomes orders from individuals.

For additional information or to order wreaths, contact Betsy Booth at 603767-5888. All orders must be received

by October 4.

• Pumpkins Continued from page 3 Children’s Pumpkin Block Party. See the children’s creations, and let your kids participate in a pedal tractor pull in this area. You’ll find lots of interesting retail shops to explore on the way, too.

When you’re finished there, more fun for all ages can be found on Vintage Row and in the Imagine Gallery Courtyard with arts and crafts and music. See some amazing chalk art, while listening to live music by local bands.

With so much to see and do, everyone is bound to get hungry, and the Great Goblin Food Court will surely have something for all appetites! You’ll be able to choose from burgers and fried chicken, Japanese food, Mexican burritos, savory and sweet mini pies, chowders, turkey legs, pizza, local farm-to-table soups and sandwiches, and of course delicious pumpkin desserts like whoopie pies, pumpkin crisp, and pumpkin cheesecake.

Grownups can enjoy the beer garden with live music at the Harley-Davidson Hideout at City Hall. From noon to 8 pm, T-Bones, Cactus Jack’s, and the 405 Grill will each host a patch of the beer garden featuring Traveler’s Beer and Pumpkinhead Beer, along with hard ciders. Enjoy a fall brew and listen to music from two live bands.

At 1 pm, you’ll want to find a good spot to watch the Grand Parade. (The parade begins at Water Street and Beacon Street West, and completes a full loop around the festival.) This fun parade features creative floats, motorized vehicles, musicians, and of course, people in costume. After the parade, plan to spend the afternoon at the midway enjoying the rides, or in the vendor area, where you’ll find items like kettle corn, maple sugar products, winter hats, gloves, scarves, novelties, balloons, Pets-on-a-Leash, light-up toys, sphere balls, home decor, candles, and potpourri, along with displays from Renewal by Andersen

and pellet cook stoves from ASH. If you enjoy a good scare and like haunted houses, you will love the Pumpkin Festival’s exciting haunted attraction, Mayhem at the Mill. With electric chairs, coffins, and creepy creatures lurking around every corner, brave souls can enter the Mill at their own risk, from 3 to 7 pm. This year, the Belknap Mill will also host a Great Pumpkin Cook-Off, so come out and cheer on the competitors!

As the sun gets lower in the sky, everyone will begin thinking about all those Jack-O’-Lanterns in the 34foot Pumpkin Tower and the amazing volunteers who will begin lighting them at 4 pm. To get the best view of the spectacular tower, take photos of it from the top of a special Pumpkin Eye View tower. See the pumpkins aglow by 6:30 pm, and soon after, the attempt at the Guinness World Record.

The current record is 30,581, set by the city of Keene, NH in 2013. Visitors to the pumpkin festival are encouraged to bring a pumpkin to add to the tally.

You can also reserve a space for your pumpkin on the tower for $10.00.

(Deliver your Jack-O’-Lanterns to Veteran’s Square at 9 am the day before the festival, if your pumpkin is to be included in the tower.)

After the festival ends at 8:30 pm, the Pumpkin Dump Derby begins, with Casella sponsoring the pumpkin clean up. Nonprofit organizations can participate in the derby and be rewarded with a donation. Dumpsters will be filled with the pumpkins, which will be composted or used for animal feed. There are countless sponsors and volunteers to thank for this wonderful event that Laconia is happy to host!

Chasing Irish Ancestors If you have Irish ancestors, but don’t know where they lived on the Emerald Isle before emigrating to the U.S., then mark your calendar to be at the Wolfeboro Public Library at 6:30 pm on Thursday, September 28. The Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group has invited Kate and Mike Lancor to present a program entitled “Chasing Irish Ancestors.” The program is free and open to all, especially those interested in “chasing” his or her Irish, Scottish, Welsh or English ancestors.

The key to determining where Irish people lived in Ireland is to ferret out as much information about them as possible in U.S. records. Discover the myriad of potential U.S. records (e.g. births, deaths, censuses, ship logs, baptisms, family bibles, obituaries) that one can search in an effort to learn as much as possible about your emigrant Irish ancestors before shifting your search to Ireland or elsewhere in the United Kingdom.

On June 30, 1922, during the Irish Civil War, the Public Records Office in Dublin was burned and many Irish records were lost forever. As a result, “chasing Irish ancestors” can be a very challenging adventure. However, there are still many records available to search online. The presenters will provide a list of websites (both free and subscription) that can be used to access existing Irish genealogy records. They will also describe the network of Irish

Family History Centers located in various counties throughout Ireland, as well as other available resources.

Kate and Mike Lancor live in Moultonboro, NH and enjoy “chasing” their own ancestors as well as helping others “chase” their ancestors. They run a genealogy search business and can be reached by emailing oldfriendsgenealogy@gmail.com or on their Old Friends Genealogy Facebook page. They have travelled to Ireland six times and especially enjoy “chasing” Irish ancestors for their clients.

With a little “Irish Luck,” one may even find some “long lost cousins” that live in Ireland today. Kate and Mike have been able to connect with, meet and become friends with some of their “long lost cousins.” They have also helped several clients discover their Irish roots. Who knows, after developing your own genealogy search strategy, you too may find living relatives on the Emerald Isle?

The Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group is free and open to the public for all those with an excitement for genealogy, beginner or professional.

Just bring a desire to learn, share, help and teach others. Monthly meeting schedules can be found on the library website at www.wolfeborolibrary.org.

For more information please call Cindy Scott at the Wolfeboro Public Library at 603-569-2428.

New Survey Shows Farmers’ Markets are as Popular as Ever in the Granite State A survey conducted in the beginning of 2017 shows shopping at farmers’ markets is very popular among New Hampshire residents.

The NH Dept. of Agriculture, Markets & Food, University of New Hampshire Dept. of Natural Resources and the Environment, UNH Cooperative Extension and the NH Farmers’ Market Association recently collaborated to conduct a survey of New Hampshire farmers’ markets. The goal of the project was to obtain information about consumer shopping experiences and attitudes related to farmers’ markets which would then be helpful to farmers and market coordinators in meeting shopper needs.

Two surveys were conducted from February through April 2017. The first was conducted via telephone as part of the Granite State Polling program where New Hampshire residents were

called at random and asked about their farmers’ market experiences. The second was an online survey that was offered to existing farmers’ market shoppers from across the state. Shopping habits at both summer and winter farmers’ markets were examined.

More than 500 individuals responded to the first survey. Over 84 percent of respondents had shopped at a farmers’ market. The majority of survey respondents indicated that the main reasons they shopped at farmers’ markets were to support local farm business and access to high-quality products. Product quality, variety, market hours and location were all important to the shopping experience. For the 16 percent that said they have never shopped at a farmers market, they indicated it was mainly because there wasn’t one nearby, or they lacked information about New Hampshire farmers’ markets.

venience and lack of time to shop at a farmers’ market were also among the top reasons cited.

The results of the second survey show that 60 percent of the 369 participants said they shopped at both summer and winter markets in 2016 and nearly 40 percent visited a farmers’ market once a week. Over 50 percent said they shopped at a farmers’ market in 2016 with the same frequency as 2015, but about 30 percent said they shopped at a farmers’ market more often in 2016. Many respondents indicated that, in addition to their desire to support local agriculture and buy fresh and high-quality products, they came

to farmers’ markets because the experience was fun; they enjoyed seeing and interacting with people in those places.

The survey collaborators hope that the results will provide farmers and farmers’ market organizers with information to help improve the shopping experience and strengthen farmers’ markets in New Hampshire.

New Law in Effect Banning Sale of Older, Uncertified Outdoor Wood Boilers As many in New Hampshire prepare for the winter heating season, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) would like to notify those considering purchasing an outdoor wood hydronic heater (commonly known as outdoor wood boilers (OWBs) that a new state law regulating these units became effective on July 1, 2017.

Specifically, the law prohibits the sale, purchase, or installation of any residential OWB that is not certified

by EPA. These EPA-certified units are high efficiency, cleaner burning devices that will save the consumer money on wood. For commercial units, only those qualified by New York State’s Energy Research Development Authority may be legally bought, sold or purchased. Importantly, all OWBs that have been legally installed in prior years are grandfathered by the

new law and may remain in place.

Also, all pellet-fueled OWBs are exempt from the statute. NHDES will be implementing an outreach and education plan to get the word out to NH citizens that non-certified OWBs, whether new or used, may no longer be bought, sold or re-installed at new locations. Violators could face fines of up to $250 and would be required to remove the OWB. Old, inefficient OWBs are often significant local sources of nuisance smoke and can negatively impact people’s health. Airborne particulate matter from wood smoke and other sources has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

For more information, please contact Evan Mulholland, Air Resources Division, Compliance Bureau Administrator at Evan.Mulholland@ des.nh.gov or 603-271-0882.

Ted is a singer, songwriter and tribute artist. He was born in Seattle and raised in the Olympia area. He has been performing since the age of 10, throughout school in concert, symphonic and jazz bands, developing his talents as a drummer and singer. He went on to Laughlin, NY to compete in the Talent Quest, 2006 involving 28 states, New Zealand, Australia and Canada, taking first place. He then went on to win Komo TV 4’s NW Afternoon Celebrity Look Alike Contest. After winning this, he began planning his John Denver tribute show…offering some of Denver’s most familiar tunes including “Thank God I’m a Country Boy”, Calypso”, “Annie’s Song”, “Rocky Mountain High”, and “Sunshine on My Shoulders.” Ted now performs nationwide for all kinds of venues and events. He has wowed crowds, selling out theatres in Pennsylvania and Kansas and has played twice for John Denver’s own “Windstar Foundation” in Aspen, Colorado.

Ted cruised the Caribbean with Daryl Worley and Jimmy Wayne on a “Travlin’ Inc.” country cruise hosted

by Great American Country’s own Storme Warren. Most recently Ted was awarded the Rising Legend Award by the National Traditional Country Music Association. He also performed with Steve Wiesberg, John Denver’s lead guitarist from the 70’s, who is quoted as saying, “Apparently the audience thinks they all look and sound like John. I don’t see it. I see it with Ted.

September 18, 2017

A very strong physical resemblance…

Uncanny.” (King 5 Eve News Magazine clip) The most heard comments after a show are “I can’t believe how much he looks and sounds like John Denver! It really took us back!” This is echoed in a review from a long-time John Denver fan, “I was completely blown away by this young man, Ted Vigil.

From the moment he set foot on stage, I was mesmerized by his voice and his incredible resemblance to the late and great John Denver. Ted Vigil’s voice, mannerisms and humor were so much like John’s that I had to keep reminding myself it was a ‘tribute show’…that wasn’t really Johnny up on that stage.

He brings John back to the stage, if only for a little while…and the experience he creates is magical!”

This is the first of eight programs presented by the Wolfeboro Friends of Music to the greater Lakes Region during its season, which runs from September through May. Tickets are available for $25 at the door, at Black’s Paper Store and Avery Insurance in Wolfeboro, at Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith, by calling 603-569-2151, or by visiting www.wfriendsofmusic.org.

In WFOM’s continued effort to make music accessible to youth, all high school students with ID and all children accompanied by an adult ticket holder will be admitted free of charge.

This concert is sponsored by Benefit Strategies and Paul and Debbie Zimmerman, both of whom are also WFOM season sponsors.

Odds Bodkin Tales of the Land Belknap County Farm Bureau is hosting a very special annual meeting on October 6, and you are invited. The evening begins with a social time at 5:30 pm, followed by dinner at 6 pm with a traditional turkey dinner, catered by Hart’s Turkey Farm.

Following the meal, Master Storyteller Odds Bodkin will be entertaining us with Tales of the Land.

Odds Bodkin, called “a consummate storyteller” by the New York Times, has told stories professionally for 35 years using live acoustic music on guitars and Celtic harp, vivid character voices and natural-

ly-created sound effects. His stories are like movies for the mind. Wired calls him “one of the great voices in American storytelling.”

Most farmers have a heart-connection to the land they work, and Mr. Bodkin’s show, Tales of the Land, celebrates this connection using myths and tales from the world over. Themes of nature’s creations and custodianship, shared with plenty of humor, fill each story. Farming is more than just making a living; it feeds the world. Come hear Tales of the Land. You’ll emerge refreshed, amused, and ready to return to the soil.

Belknap County Farm Bureau (BCFB) is where farmers have a voice in developing policy, starting with our own county, and going on to the state and national levels. Regularly this nationwide farmer-led organization works to make it possible for farms to work and survive; introducing and pushing for legislation to keep farms valid and workable in today’s

society.

This event is happening at the First United Methodist Church in Gilford, NH. The church is located at 18 Wesley Way (off Rt. 11A near the 3/11 bypass).

Chillin’ While Grillin’ ~ Pizza!

By Chef Kelly Ross This week’s grilling adventure takes us on an interesting ride with one of everyone’s favorite foods: pizza. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t like pizza. This is a grilled pizza, and it is a great way to cook one.

Whether you are cooking on a gas grill or using charcoal, the smoke from the grill will help give your pizza great flavor that you can’t get from cooking in a conventional oven. It’s as close as you can get to cooking in a wood fired oven without actually doing so. Also, depending on the weather, nobody wants to heat up the house on a hot summer or warm autumn day. Believe it or not, it’s rather simple to grill pizza, which is never a bad thing.

I have a feeling I know what you are thinking. “Won’t the dough fall through the grill?” The answer is “No.” If you follow the easy directions and your grill is properly heated, you have nothing to worry about. The crust will brown nicely and crisp up beautifully.

The trick of this pizza is you cook the crust on one side, remove it from the grill, flip it, sauce the grilled side lightly, add your toppings and cheese, and return the pizza to the grill to finish. The maneuvering of the crust on and off is a little tricky, but with the right tools it’s not that tough.

For starters, you need the dough.

You can buy frozen pizza dough balls anywhere if you choose to go that route.

As for me, I prefer to make my own

dough. It’s very easy and tastes much better. Many of you likely have made your own pizza dough before and there is no reason why your dough shouldn’t work out great. The recipe I’m going to share will give you two 10-12 inch pies. If you see yourself trying to do

this, double the recipe and divide into as many pizza dough balls per recipe and wrap in plastic and freeze. They will still work great up to a couple of weeks later. Here is what you will need to make your own dough, and remember, this will give you two 10-

September 18, 2017 12 inch crusts.

1½ cups warm water (105-115 degrees) 1 package (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast. (Make sure you check the expiration date: if it is expired, it won’t work.)

3 ½ cups bread flour 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar For starters, you need to proof the yeast. Place the warm water in the bowl of a Kitchen Aid mixer if you have one.

If not, place in a large stainless bowl.

Sprinkle the yeast into the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes or so until the yeast is dissolved. The yeast should begin to foam. If it hasn’t, stir it a little to help it out. Make sure the water is not too hot or it won’t work.

Next, using the mixing paddle of the mixer, add in the rest of the ingredients and mix for a minute on low speed.

At this point, take off the paddle and use the dough hook attachment and continue to mix on low-medium speed for 8-10 minutes until dough is smooth and has elasticity to it.

If you don’t have a mixer, mix by hand with a whisk but don’t be too aggressive. The mixer does it on a low speed. If you work it too hard, it will become tough. Then you can knead it by hand. If the dough seems a little too wet, add a spoonful of flour at a time until it is the right consistency.

Now spread a thin layer of olive oil into a bowl and pop the dough into it and turn it around so the whole ball is coated. Cover the bowl in film and put it in a warm place, about 80 degrees, until it doubles in size. You should

give it at least an hour and a half. You can let it go longer if you want. The longer the rising process, the better the flavor of the crust. If you don’t have a warm place and if the outdoor temp isn’t in that range, turn your oven onto 150 degrees, and once it gets to heat, turn off the oven. Open the door a tad for a minute or so, then put the bowl in the oven and close the door. (You obviously cannot place it in the warm oven with plastic film over the top.)

Once the dough has been proofed, dump the dough onto a lightly floured counter. Split into two even pieces considering you used a single recipe. Roll them both into balls and then punch them down, which will somewhat deflate the dough. Work it with your hands from the middle to flatten down and work in a circular motion to keep it round. Stretch it as much as you can to get to the 12 circles you want. You don’t want the crust too thin. About a half-inch is ideal. If you worked it enough, you could get a larger crust, but trust me, that is not what you want. Once done, let it sit for a few minutes. At this point, adjust the dough as needed to get the shape you need. More importantly, you do not want the edges raised as you would if cooking in the oven. It should be the same thickness throughout the crust.

If the edges are raised, it will result in problems in the grilling process.

At this point, you should have all your prep done for the toppings. Turn your grill on to high heat. The grill should be very clean and should be sprayed liberally with pan release as well as rubbed down with oil. Pour a little oil in a bowl and with folded

Adele Sanborn to Demonstrate at Art Association meeting The Lakes Region Art Association will hold its upcoming meeting on Monday, September 18 at 7 pm, at the Lakes Region Art Association Gallery located at the Tanger Outlets in Tilton, NH. A demonstration will take place

by Adele Sanborn.

She is a calligraphy and mixed media artist and a graduate with a BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology. She was born and raised in Long Island, NY. In the 1970s, Adele and her husband moved to Boscawen, NH. In 1984, she started Cornerstone Design, a graphic design firm. And in 1990, she opened Caardvark, a retail store in downtown Concord. In the early 2000s she pur-

sued a career in calligraphy and papermaking out of her studio, The Paint Box, in Webster, NH. Then in 2015 she moved her business to TWIGGS Gallery in Boscawen, NH where she sells her work, as well as the work of other artists. She’s been a member of the League of NH Example of Adele Sanborn’s work. (Courtesy Craftsmen since photo) • Chillin’ Continued from page 23

Her creations combine her “love of lettering, paper, and photographic images into

surface deep into the grill and gently let it slide off the board onto the grill.

Close the lid and let it go for two minutes or so. Open the lid and with a spatula, slightly lift the edges up to see how the underneath looks. If you notice one side of the crust cooking more than another, with a couple of spatulas or maybe with tongs, rotate the crust as needed. Close the lid again for one minute. Keep this process going until you have a nice brown color throughout, as well as looking for the top of the dough starting to bubble.

With a couple of spatulas, remove from heat. You may even be able to slide your flat surface under the crust and do it that way. Flip upside down on your cutting board or whatever you are using. Before you flip onto the board, again make sure the surface has cornmeal or flour on it. Make sure you close the lid of the grill so it is hot for the next round.

Once you flip it, it’s time to top it. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is not to over top the pizza. This is a big mistake by many when making any pizza under any circumstance. You don’t want or need a pie that weighs 10 pounds, especially on the grill.

Over saucing makes the crust too wet.

A thin layer of sauce is all you want.

My suggestion is my favorite pizza, a simple Margherita Pizza. Thin layer of sauce or none at all, some thinly sliced

framed messages celebrating life and its possibilities.” In Adele’s artist statement she says, “I am an art maker, a pathfinder, and a storyteller. I use whatever materials it takes to begin my journey, and within each piece are words, poems, passages that I hand letter and combine to create an image filled with questions or perhaps answers.”

The demonstration by Adele Sanborn is free and open to the public. Adele will share her art and her story of how she got to where she is today and also give a demonstration in hand lettering.

tomatoes, fresh mozzarella placed over ¾ of the pie, and then topped with fresh chopped basil and fresh shredded Parmesan cheese. This is what real Italian pizzas are like, and the smoked flavor of the grill just enhances all the good things. Regardless what you top it with, slide back onto the grill and reduce the heat to medium-high. Again, you must babysit it, but this time it will cook a little longer than the first time.

After a couple of minutes, drop the heat to medium. Other than checking the status, keep the lid closed at all times. Realistically, and depending on your grill, this step will likely take six or seven minutes. Concentrate on the bottom of the crust when cooking. With your spatulas, pull the pie off when it’s ready. You should always let sit for 4-5 minutes before slicing and devouring.

Enjoy!

Again, I can’t emphasize enough not to over load the pizza with toppings.

You can still put many toppings on it, just lay low on the amount of each.

From a culinary aspect, an authentic pizza is lighter and simple. I know we are used to what we are used to, but as many pizzas as I have eaten as well as the many I have made, I would rather have a thinner crust pizza that is lighter in toppings, but with great quality, fresh toppings.

Rain Garden project captures and treats storm water runoff In August, the Lake Winnipesaukee Association and the Town of Meredith held a tour of the recently completed storm water improvement practices at the Waukewan bathhouse site on Waukewan Street, across from the town beach on Lake Waukewan.

Protecting the water quality of Lake Waukewan is a high priority for the town of Meredith, as not only is the lake a recreational and economic asset, it is the primary drinking water supply serving over 3,000 residents and the Meredith Village business community.

The Waukewan and Winona Watershed Restoration Plan completed in September 2016 documented more than 60 sites within the watershed contributing sediment and other pollutants to the lakes. The bathhouse parking lot was one of the top six sites identified around Lake Waukewan. Issues associated with the site included moderate surface erosion, slight road shoulder erosion, bare soil in the parking area, and a winter sandsnow dump area near the existing catch basin that outlets directly to the lake.

Actions to address the sediment

and storm water runoff to the lake included re-shaping and paving the parking lot to prevent the movement of sand, re-directing storm water runoff to a rain garden with an overflow to the catch basin. The rain garden acts as a bio-retention basin, collecting and filtering storm water runoff from the parking lot.

An underdrain beneath the rain garden then directs the treated water to the catch basin. The catch basin was replaced with a new deep sump catch basin that captures sediment and debris from runoff. The catch basin outlet was armored to slow down the treated storm water, and prevent erosion at the shoreline.

It is estimated that the installed storm water improvements at the bathhouse will reduce sediment and nutrient loading to Lake Waukewan by 10.5 tons sediment, 8.9 pounds of total phosphorus, and 17.9 pounds total nitrogen per year.

The project was partially funded by a NH Department of Environmental Services Local Source Water Protection grant to the Lake Winnipesaukee Association. The town of Meredith and the Windy Waters Conservancy provided additional funding.

New Director Brings Worldly Experience, Family Ties to The Libby Museum Founded in Wolfeboro in 1912 as New Hampshire’s first natural history gallery, The Libby Museum recently announced the appointment of Alana Albee as executive director.

For Albee, returning to the Granite State after decades spent abroad was more than just a career choice—it was personal.

“This is where I was born and I have fond memories of spending time in the museum as a child,” said Albee. “I was delighted to return to the area after a long career away and give back to my community.”

After graduating from the University of New Hampshire, Albee received her master’s degree from the London School of Economics and accepted a post in the Diplomatic Service of the British government. Specializing in international economic development and public finance, her 25-year career included stints throughout Africa and Asia between which she served as Chief of Employment policy for the International Labor Office in Geneva, Switzerland.

A dual citizen of the U.S. and U.K, Albee retired from the Diplomatic Service in 2015 and returned to her native Granite State. In returning to NH, she cited a family connection, too, as her grandfather, John Allen Horne, was great nephew of Hattie Horne, wife of museum founder Dr. Henry Forrest Libby. For decades, the younger Horne ran the iconic Allen ‘A’ Resort in Wolfeboro, which is now the home of the New Hampshire Boat Museum.

“There’s a deep family tradition here that I’m proud to inherit,” Albee said.

According to Albee, The Libby’s timeless feel is about much more than just the historic building.

“Unlike a lot of museums, not everything in The Libby is behind Plexiglas,” she said. “You can touch

Interior of the Libby Museum in Wolfeboro. (Courtesy photo) the moose and the coyote. You can get up close to see what animals really look like. It’s interactive and immersive and that’s what I love about it.”

Her immediate goals for the museum include working to preserve the original collection, some of which comprises animal and bird specimens, plants and insects, Native American relics, early American antiques and implements, and more.

Acknowledging the collection has suffered due to inadequate insulation in the building, Albee noted the Town of Wolfeboro is discussing potential funding to upgrade the building with a more comprehensive restoration project in the future.

Longer-term goals include building a replica boat similar to one owned by Dr. Libby himself as well as extending the museum’s current trails to nearby Mirror Lake.

“It was the dream of Dr. Libby to have visitors be able to enjoy a vista across the lake to the Belknap Range as well as across Mirror Lake to the Ossipee Mountains,” Albee said.

Today, The Libby attracts thousands

of visitors every year—numbers that she hopes will be bolstered through membership in the New Hampshire Heritage Museum Trail. With numerous events, exhibits and programs for all ages this summer, the NH Heritage Trail expects close to 250,000 visitors

in 2017.

Whose Trails These Are We Think We Know at Castle in the Clouds, the professor traces the land from its origins in an extinct volcano to Native American and post-Revolutionary settlement, to vacation oasis, industrial magnate retreat, tourist attraction and now a professionally administered recreational site.

Many of us know the story of Castle in the Clouds, called “Lucknow” by its developer, Thomas G. Plant. A retired multi-millionaire who had made his fortune in shoe manufacturing, Plant started amassing property in Moultonboro in 1911 and completed his mansion there in 1914. He bought huge tracts of land, eventually owning 6,500 acres spanning the mountain peaks of perhaps the world’s most perfect example of an ancient volcanic ring dyke and descending to the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, where he built Bald Peak Colony Club, a private cottage club still flourishing today.

By Barbara Neville Wilson Photos courtesy Dr. David M. Leuser “Whose woods these are, I think I know…” go the words of Robert Frost, the 20th-century writer many consider today to be New Hampshire’s own poet. But do you know that before him came James Greenleaf Whittier, the voice of New Hampshire in the late 1800s? Perhaps you’ve seen his name on Mount Whittier, Whittier Bridge, on the shores of Melvin Village and Whittier Falls at Castle in the Clouds in Moultonboro.

A recent book by Dr. David Leuser of Plymouth State University uses John Greenleaf Whittier’s love of the Lakes Region, and particularly the land now known as Castle in the Clouds, to bookend his explanation of what today’s landmark looked like yesterday.

New Dealer

With the help of up to 1,000 workers, he built a 16-room house that featured seven bathrooms and cutting-edge technologies such as a fire suppression system, central vacuum and ammonia brine refrigeration. On the home’s grounds, he developed a hydroelectric power plant, a golf course, an ingenious greenhouse terraced into the mountain overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee, and according to Leuser, “22 miles of carriage roads up and across the various mountains that make up the Ossipee range.”

Alas, Plant’s success was fleeting, and ill-advised investments brought him to bankruptcy a remarkably short time after he finished Lucknow. His home passed to another private owner, and then was opened as a tourist attraction in 1959, before its purchase by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT) in 2002. The property is now divided into two parcels: the 5,381-acred Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area managed by the LRCT, and almost 136 acres and all the historic buildings managed by the Castle Preservation Society. Together, the two groups conserve the land and buildings with the goal of maintaining public access for the future enjoyment of all, Leuser writes.

Dr. Leuser’s book informs us that the land’s history should not be so fully wrapped around Thomas Plant. Instead, the bulk of “The Brook Walk,” focuses on 440 acres of land now conserved in the Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area once called Ossipee Park. For about 40 years before Thomas Plant began amassing his estate, this part of the property enjoyed significant national fame as a place of natural retreat.

Like his successor, Thomas Plant, Ossipee Park developer Benjamin Franklin Shaw was a wealthy industrialist who derived his fortune from foot coverings—he invented techniques to machine-manufacture stockings, or what we call “socks” today. While on holiday in the Lakes Region, he discovered the beauty of the Ossipee Mountains. He started buying property in 1878-79, and by July 4, 1882 had built a home with accommodations to host 12 guests.

“His Park soon became a very popular attraction for artists, writers, and others who wanted a simpler summer tourist experience than that offered by the Grand Hotels of the White Mountains,” writes Leuser. Guests were attracted by the wholesome respite, highlighted

by freshly harvested food from nearby farms, cool night breezes, natural vistas at every turn, and especially the miles of trails through woods and by stream.

Like any successful hotelier of the era, Shaw and his successor innkeepers knew the value of print marketing materials and apparently spared no expense to ensure the Park was seen at its most glorious. Leuser’s book is filled with gorgeous images of the everpopular Brook Trail reproduced from postcards, photographs and stereoview cards. National and international audiences were introduced to Ossipee Park through the publication of these images in magazines such as The Boston Journal, New England Magazine and The White Mountain Echo. The Park was also seen in publications that marketed Ossipee Park as part of a broader New England appeal. Leuser includes images he has collected from the 1885 Boston & Lowell [Railroad] booklet, “Summer Saunterings by the B&L: A Guide to Pleasant Places Among the Mountains, Lakes and Valleys of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Canada,” and the 1909 publication of “Lake Winnipesaukee”

by The G.W. Armstrong Dining Room & News Co., among others.

A particularly striking series of photos in the book are from stereoview cards Shaw commissioned in 1882 from Lowell, Massachusetts photographer L.O. Churchill. Some Brook Walk views are remarkably similar to what can be seen today, while others seem to be from another landscape altogether.

The difference, Leuser tells us, is due in part to changes to the landscape caused by natural, gradual evolution, such as forest growth, but mostly it is due to the failure of dams built by Plant around 1914 that failed after his death and brought devastating floods in 1943 and 1944. The brook’s path was irrevocably altered and views loved

by Shaw and his guest John Greenleaf Whittier were forever disrupted.

Interestingly, Dr. Leuser is not a professor of history or even art at Plymouth State University. His doctorate is in the social sciences, and he teaches in the College of Business Administration. While his interest in Castle in the Clouds was first piqued by a hiking expedition on Castle Conservation Area Trails, it was the evolution of the land and its uses that sparked research that led to “The Brook • Trails Continued on page 29

Local Conservation Non-Profits Team Up to Host Invasive Pull at Whitten Woods SLA Squam Ridge Race also scheduled The Squam Lakes Association (SLA) and Squam Lakes Conservation Society (SLCS) will be hosting a volunteer opportunity on Thursday, September 21 from 10 am to noon at Whitten Woods in Ashland to remove an infestation of autumn olive, bittersweet, and other invasive plants along the trail. The SLA and SLCS will go over some tips and techniques for identifying these destructive invasive plants, as well as how and when to best remove them. Both organizations are well known in the community for their dedication to conserving the Squam watershed.

“This is a great opportunity to learn about invasive plants and best management practices from local

experts,” said SLA Community Engagement Coordinator, Melissa Leszek.

Invasive plants impact New Hampshire’s native species by attacking or out-competing them for nutrients, water, and space. The availability and quality of natural resources are weakened as a result. At this event, participants will use mechanical treatments such as pulling or digging out the invasive plants, which does not require special licensing or the use of herbicides that may be harmful to the environment.

The SLA and SLCS will supply all the tools and know-how necessary for a productive event. Volunteers should wear rugged work clothes, work gloves,

and close toed shoes. They may also consider bringing sunscreen, snacks, water, and bug spray. Volunteers will leave with the ability to identify common invasive plants and the best way to remove them. For more information and to sign up for the event visit, www.squamlakes.org or call the Squam Lakes Association at 603-9867336.

SLA to Host Annual Ridge Race to Support Squam Lake Trail Network On Sunday, October 1, the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) will host its 5th Annual Squam Ridge Race, a 12.2-mile ridge, which traverses a majority of the Squam Range crossing three summits with amazing views of Squam Lake and the surrounding

watershed. All proceeds from the race will go directly to maintaining over 50 miles of SLA maintained trails around the Squam watershed.

“As visitation increases in the Squam Range every year, so does the wear and tear on the trails,” said SLA Director of Operations, Brett Durham. “In just over 12 years, roughly $100,000 has gone into maintaining the Old Bridle Path alone.”

The Old Bridle Path, which is famous for taking hikers up to West and East Rattlesnake, is used by thousands of visitors every year and has two scenic peaks that overlook Squam Lake.

cities created a market for agrarian, slower-paced, nature-based adventures in the lakes and mountains of New Hampshire…a trend that itself was eventually disrupted by the next advance in technology: the automobile.

Dr. Leuser credits a similar “disruption” with his ability to write “The Brook Walk: Hidden Gem at Castle in the Clouds.” In 2016 Plymouth State University was spurred by rapid development in technology and changes to modern culture to begin shifting from a traditional departmentalized vision of education to create interdisciplinary strategic clusters, where professors and students cross-pollinate one another’s endeavors. Leuser has had freedom to pursue his research, combining his training in the social sciences with his interests in business management,

art and nature in the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Cluster and publish this book. His goal? “Once I retire, I hope to write a series on things like this. Young people, everyone in New Hampshire, should have access [to this history],” not simply because they want to learn the history of trails they thought they knew, but also because

“…some of these images are absolutely stunning.”

Walk: Hidden Gem at Castle in the Clouds.” Fascinated by the birth, growth and transformation of White Mountain tourism, he found that the story of Castle in the Clouds often mirrored its trajectory in microcosm. Progress came because of disruptions to established trends: tourism became possible only with technological development in transportation—the steam engine embodied in the locomotive and steam ship that permitted rapid and safe travel to far flung destinations.

With industrialization, only possible through technological advance and steam-powered manufacturing, more people had time and sufficient means to vacation. And paradoxically, industrialization’s faster pace of life and more congested and polluted

NH State Library really delivers

by Michael York,State Librarian When you walk into your public library here in New Hampshire, you may think that the items you see on the shelves are the only ones that you can borrow. That’s actually not true.

Your library card can get you access to literally millions of books, magazines, music, movies and more from libraries across the state, brought right to your own public or academic library.

The N.H. State Library has a long history of providing New Hampshire’s library patrons with access to materials that their libraries might not have. In the early 1900s, we mailed books we selected from our collection to rural libraries as a way for them to offer a larger selection to their patrons and to stretch their limited funds. In 1938, we moved in a new direction when we purchased our first bookmobile.

That first vehicle, a half-ton panel truck with special shelves, could hold about 500 State Library books; it began making rural stops in Carroll County, soon adding stops in Coös and Sullivan Counties. Within two years, the service increased its number of stops from 25 to 233. As you’d expect, the total circulation of books to these rural sites

(libraries, schools, and even grange halls and county farms) increased significantly as we added more and more stops.

The program was such a success that a second bookmobile was added in 1940, thanks to a donation from the New Hampshire Federation of Women’s Clubs. By 1941, the two bookmobiles accounted for a circulation of more than 36,000 books annually – quite the increase from that first partial year, when 1,968 books circulated.

Bookmobiles continued to be a valuable part of the State Library’s services to New Hampshire libraries during World War II and the decades that followed. By 1968, there were four bookmobiles operating statewide, based at our four regional offices in Concord, Exeter, Keene and Littleton, with each making deliveries to their assigned geographic areas.

At their peak of popularity, in 1977, more than 320,000 books circulated using the bookmobiles, but the focus on sharing materials from the State Library began to change soon after.

Instead, a statewide union catalog of holdings from selected libraries – think of it as a card catalog with information from multiple libraries –

was maintained at the State Library, and libraries used that to make requests from each other. Eventually, the New Hampshire Automated Information System (NHAIS) revolutionized the interlibrary loan program in the state, allowing hundreds of participating libraries to know what others had available to share with them and their patrons.

By 1983, the bookmobile program was phased out and the State Library focused on operating vans that transported books between lending and borrowing libraries. Growth was gradual: in 1989, we operated two vans within the state, helping to transport more than 53,000 interlibrary loan

books that year. We now operate five vans delivering almost 9,000 books each week!

The N.H. State Library’s InterLibrary Loan service via van delivery continues to be one of the most popular and costeffective services we provide and is used by people of all ages and interests.

Our vans travel more than 200,000 miles a year delivering to libraries from Salem to Colebrook, Hinsdale to Portsmouth each week. We have come a long way from a single bookmobile driving to remote villages in the North Country, and we’re still proud to be able to help bring such a wide variety of materials to New Hampshire’s library patrons.
