Apple Fest Celebrates the Season The Effingham Preservation Society will hold an Apple Fest on Saturday, September 24 from 9 am to 1 pm at their headquarters on the corner of Province Lake Rd. (Route 153) and Town House Road.

Apple Fest will be a celebration of all things apple. To kick off the event, an apple-baking contest is set from 10 to 11 am. Bring any baked item that includes apples, and try for your chance to win a Barclay Crocker gift set. Entry is free and open to all ages. Submissions with anything that uses apple as a base is welcome, including apple pie, apple bread, apple cookies, or even baked apples.

Fresh apple cider making will take place from 11 am to 1 pm; try your hand at an old-fashioned style apple

press and enjoy some freshly pressed apple cider.

The Effingham Preservation Society was started in 1999 in what was the old Grange Hall. Its mission statement is “Preserving the Landmarks and Historic Buildings of Effingham”, and the group has spent about 17 years restoring the Grange Hall. This is done through weekly bake sales, local produce, events throughout the summer and by donations. The Effingham Preservation Society is open Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm through October.

New members and visitors are always welcome.

Great Fall Hikes for Families Story and photos by Sarah Wright

One of the many wonderful things about the Lakes Region is the abundance of hikes and beautiful views, especially in the autumn season.

My favorite family photos tend to be those taken out exploring nature. But it can be hard to know what you’re getting into when you set out on a trail.

What’s easy for one person may not be easy for another, and difficult trails are not recommended for families with young kids. If you’re a beginner, or just looking for a fun day out on a relaxing hike, I sorted through all the popular trails for you, and weeded out the ones that might leave you sore the next morning.

For a spectacular view of Squam Lake, there’s a hike with a fairly easy incline that leads to the top of West Rattlesnake Mountain. At just under two miles, it’s one of the shortest hikes in the area that will reward you with an amazing and unobstructed view of the lake. It’s also especially beautiful during foliage season. You’ll find the Old Bridle Path off Route 113 in Holderness. Don’t forget to pack a picnic lunch to enjoy at the top!

Another popular trail is Mount Major in Alton, along Route 11. On the weekend, there are usually cars parked all along the road near the trailhead.

Now, I’m torn about this one. Some people consider it to be easier than most hikes, but there are areas where you will have to scramble up some rocks.

So, maybe this isn’t the best hike for

really young children, but older kids will love it. Despite a total elevation of less than 2,000 feet, the summit provides breathtaking 360-degree panoramas and amazing views of Lake Winnipesaukee. To beat the crowds, hike on a weekday, or arrive early on the weekend.

For a similar view to Mount Major, albeit with some tree obstruction, my family enjoys hiking up Lockes Hill.

There is a sign for the trail down the road from Mount Major on Route 11 in Gilford. This is actually a great hike to do with kids. It’s a 1.8 mile loop, if you start on the trail to the left from the parking area, and go the whole way around. For a shorter, but slightly steeper hike, you can just go up the

trail to the right of the parking lot and back down again the same way. Both trails meet at the top. A couple of cool features for kids include a standing binocular viewfinder at the top, so kids can look out at the lake and zoom in on houses and boats. Also, on the trail that leads up from the right, there’s a spot where people moved large rocks and fashioned them into chairs and couches for people to sit on. My boys thought that was awesome. We were also lucky to find lots of wild blueberries at the top. I’ll definitely be heading back there when the leaves are near peak color!

The Elwell Trail in Bristol is another relatively short hike with beautiful scenery that will lead you to the scenic

Goose Pond. You can park at Wellington State Park to access the trail, or in the parking area about a tenth-of-a-mile up on West Shore Road. Take the yellow trail to Goose Pond, and you’ll enjoy a pleasurable hike around streams before gently climbing the mountainside. It’s a two-mile loop around the pond once you reach it, so many hikers stop at the pond for a picnic and then go back the same way they came. If you have kids with you, be sure to point out the beaver dams at either end of the pond.

North of Sandwich on Route 49 is the Smarts Brook Trailhead in Thornton.

This is considered an easy trail that will lead you to a popular swimming hole in about 40 minutes. From the parking lot, cross the brook and on the other side, the trail will turn left and enter the woods. Stay right and follow the trail until you join with a logging road. Turn left at this intersection to stay on the Smarts Brook Trail, and you will eventually reach the swimming hole. The trail continues and meets up with other trails, so if you have young children with you, just retrace your steps back out. If you have the time for a three-mile hike, you could instead take the Pine Flat Trail along Smarts Brook, turn right onto the Yellow Jacket Trail, cross the wood bridge at about two miles, and then take another right down Smarts Brook Trail back to the parking lot. You’ll be rewarded with some great views of the Smarts • Fall Hikes Continued on page 4

Another great option for taking in some beautiful foliage color is to hike a leisurely trail around a lake. And if you’re lucky enough to catch a mirrorimage reflection of the leaves in the water, all the better! At White Lake State Park off Route 16 in Tamworth, my kids and I have seen wild flowers, tadpoles, and beaver activity. The foot path is well-maintained for easy footing.

We’ve also hiked around Quincy Bog in Rumney. It’s a flat, mile-long hike, that’s a great way to introduce young children to nature. We’ve seen lots of

birds, mushrooms, and the occasional turtle. My kids especially liked the boardwalk that crossed over the water.

There is a parking area on Quincy Bog Road off Quincy Road. Take Route 25 and then pick up Smith Bridge Road to Quincy Road.

Whatever hike you choose, even if it’s just your local walking trail, don’t let autumn pass you by. This is the perfect weather for enjoying nature, and New Hampshire trees always put on an amazing color show. I like to collect leaves with my boys, and see how many color combinations we can find. When we get home, I often find small pinecones and acorns in their sweatshirt pockets, too!

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 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 and 30-in. and 36-in. outside diameter. The 22-in. wreath is the perfect size for a standard door; the 30-in. 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 Andrea Dudley at 603-569-8246 or Betsy Booth at 603767-5888. All orders must be received

by October 3.

Multi-talented George “Rusty” Locke to Perform at Taylor Community George “Rusty” Locke was born in New Hampshire almost 70 years ago and has spent much of his life in the state of hard stonewalls and tall pines.

His music spans decades and contains bits and pieces of his life strung out in a variety of musical styles.

Locke is a gifted storyteller, musician, actor and writer and he will bring his talents to Taylor Community in Laconia on Monday, September 19 at 2 pm for a performance at Taylor’s Woodside Building.

This event is free and open to the public, but please RSVP to 524-5600 to ensure seating.

Locke joined the Army at age 17 and went to Korea as a photographer and combat journalist in the early 1960s,

writing for the 1st Cavalry Division and The Pacific Edition of Stars and Stripes. It was while he was in the far east that Locke began writing the songs of his life.

When he returned to the states, Locke spent time in the southwest as a radio producer and writer at White Sands Missile Range and began performing and touring in the west Texas area where he absorbed the young folk music explosion that was taking place. After time spent in the service, Locke returned to New England and attended school in Boston, then began a career in radio broadcasting in central New Hampshire.

Among the Sculptures - Meredith

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

Main Street area, as well as along the waterfront.

I decided to follow the map, versus wandering from sculpture to sculpture, so that I could see every piece of outdoor art in chronological order.

Number one on the map had me walk just about a block up Main Street (take care crossing busy Daniel Webster Highway and make sure and use sidewalks if you are walking from the town docks area).

The first sculpture listed on the map is General Tsao, He’s No Chicken, sculpted by Richard J. Foster. If I were driving past, I might not have taken the time to really look at this wonderful piece of art, which is placed on the side of Sunshine and Pa’s (restaurant).

Thus, it is important to get out and walk so nothing is missed. The sculpture of the General stands at attention, and he seems to be holding a lantern in one hand and a huge spear in the other, while guarding the space with his metal feet planted firmly on the ground.

Next is Insight Out, by Conrad • Day Tripping Continued on page 7

Bird in Hand by Dale Rogers. this year’s expanded exhibit.”

When I returned from my north country drive, I parked my car in the lot by the Meredith town docks, so I could get out and take the Sculpture Walk.

Like any local resident, I know of many beautiful places and fun things to do in the Lakes Region, but just never seem to find the time to explore in my own backyard. I had taken parts of the Sculpture Walk with my daughter in the past, but never took the time to complete the entire walk that finds sculptures all over the downtown area.

I started with picking up a brochure for GMP at a kiosk at the entrance to the lakefront Hesky Park area. (Kiosks with maps for the Sculpture Walk also are available at the downtown post office and online at the GMP’s website.)

Although one would have to have their eyes closed not to see all the sculptures in Hesky Park and the waterfront area, there are other sculptures around town as well and I suspected some might not be as readily visible, so the map was helpful.

Indeed, the colorful map gave information that there are 32 sculptures on the walk, and many are on the

It’s nice to find something beautiful when you least expect it. That is what has made my many day trip adventures fun over the years, and probably the reason I keep writing about those treks.

Such was the case when I drove past a few eye-catching outdoor sculptures in downtown Meredith. I was heading to the White Mountains for an appointment on a sunny September day when I glanced to the Hesky Park area near the Meredith Town Docks (on Daniel Webster Highway). Many people were strolling around the grassy spot, clearly enjoying the variety of sculptures; driving onto Route 25, I noticed even more sculptures placed here and there. The lake created a beautiful background for the sculptures and I promised myself I would stop on my way back through Meredith and take a closer look.

As a writer for The Laker, I often travel locally, so I am well aware of the Meredith Sculpture Walk, a project of the Greater Meredith Program (GMP). At the website www. greatermeredithprogram.com, the work of the organization states that, “The Greater Meredith Program (GMP) is a non-profit community economic development organization dedicated to enhancing economic vitality, historical and cultural heritage, and town-wide beautification. It strives to achieve these goals through direct advocacy and action, plus it seeks to capture and extend the vision, energy and interorganizational cooperation that has made Meredith into the fine town it has become.”

The Sculpture Walk is now in its third year, and it is a wonderful way to promote the arts while adding more beauty to an already attractive downtown/waterfront area in Meredith.

Writes Bev Lapham, chairman of the Sculpture Walk project, “Our concept for the Meredith Sculpture Walk (MSW) began in 2012 with sculptural additions to the Courtyard on Main Street, a major GMP beautification project. Residents and visitors enjoyed them so much that we decided to expand the exhibit throughout the town and launched the Meredith Sculpture Walk.

Through the enormous dedication and hard work of the MSW Committee and the continued generosity of our sponsors, we are delighted to present

The New Hotel Weirs Featuring Robert Ames The Lake Winnipesaukee Museum on Rt. 3 in Weirs Beach (next to Funspot) is hosting a presentation titled The New Hotel Weirs on Wednesday, September 21 at 7 pm.

The Lakes Region has been a popular tourist destination for centuries, beginning with the Penacook tribes who summered at Weirs Beach. During the steam coach era many people passed through the area on their way to the White Mountains. The advent of the railroad saw the Lakes Region’s development into a tourist destination in its own right. Centered around the railroad, grand hotels sprang up to accommodate the influx of tourists.

One of the largest and grandest of these hotels was the New Hotel Weirs, which had 150 rooms. The presentation will explore the history and evolution of the New Hotel Weirs.

The Hotel Weirs originated as The Diamond Island House on nearby Diamond Island. This was a popular location during the 1860s and into the 1870s. Then the hotel lost popularity,

and around 1880 the Diamond Island House was cut into sections and hauled over the ice to the Weirs.

It is said that as the last section reached the steamboat landing, it slid into the water. It took every available ox in the county to set it right. At its new location at Weirs Beach, the hotel became known as the Hotel Weirs. In the late 1890s, the hotel underwent an expansion and was called the New Hotel Weirs.

The New Hotel Weirs met its demise when on the evening of November 9, 1924, a fire, which started in the Weirs Music Hall spread to a total of 12 structures in the surrounding area, including the New Hotel Weirs.

Weirs Beach native and local historian Robert Ames will present the history of The New Hotel Weirs. The event is free for Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society members; for nonmembers there is a $5 fee with all proceeds going to benefit the Historical Society’s ongoing renovations.

September 19, 2016 • Day Tripping Continued from page 5 Levenson, located near the Meredith Historical Society building on Main Street. The sculpture mixes various forms to create a soothing, Zen-like piece that fits just right in its location.

Following this, Gray Ghost by Hugh Gibbons is a tall, stately sculpture and Pull of the Moon, by Andreas von Huene is sculpted into a piece of granite, reminding me of a Greek goddess or Egyptian figure carved in a raised manner from the stone’s flat surface.

Number five on the walk really caught my eye with its forms that seem to try to fit together, made of concrete, expansion form and found wood. Titled Release, the sculpture is by Claire Roll.

There is no missing the boldly colored black and blue sculpture titled Music by Valery Mahuchy. It is placed near the Meredith Public Library on Main Street and is a whimsical piece that somehow defines music very well with its swirls and colors.

Jenny’s Bouquet is number seven on the walk, and it beckons from in front of the library with a tall, narrow form and various circular shapes that look like a metal flower bouquet; it was created by Richard Gerber.

Other sculptures on Main Street include gracefully swirling Thrice by John BonSignore; Pheasant by Tom Sleeper, Darling (for deer lovers!) by Quinn Morrissette; Arctic Ice with the look of a real chunk of ice by Melanie Zibit and curvy, gentle Hydrolith by Kevin Duffy.

Some of the sculptures are placed around the Mill Falls marketplace area and seem to fit well here and there, such as the amusing Bull by Andreas von Huene.

There is no doubt that the Hesky Park/waterfront area sculptures receive a lot of notice due to their placement near the busy highway. Each year, the large and talked-about sculptures beckon and this year’s perhaps most eye-catching art, titled Tres Bien by Rita Dee, cannot be missed with its huge, horse shape made of driftwood.

The day I took the Sculpture Walk, many people were out enjoying the nice September weather, and as I watched,

Tres Bien by Rita Dee. Tres Bien seemed to draw visitors like a magnet. Strollers were stopping to check out the sculpture or some were having their photo taken near the big horse.

Among my personal favorites on the walk is Bird in Hand, a whimsical, large Cor-Ten piece in the shape of a hand with bright red birds, one perched atop the hand and one sitting inside the form. It is by Dale Rogers and was up next on the walk as the path loops around the waterfront and past Lago (restaurant).

Shadow Deer Leaping by Wendy Klemperer is made of plasma cut steel and reminds one of the many deer that are encountered scampering through the woods…or at times, across the road.

Master Yoga is of a bronze figure that emits a quiet peacefulness by Josie C. Dellenbaugh, followed by another favorite of mine, Icarus by Drew Klotz.

Made of aluminum, steel and stone, the pieces picks up gentle breezes and move in the wind.

As the walk continues, it features many wonderful sculptures that are placed with the lake always in the background. At the end of the walk, beautiful Lover’s Light, made of stainless steel and created by Steven Hayden, mixes curved circular shapes.

For those who wish to take the Sculpture Walk, but with some guidance, the GMP offers guided tours on Saturdays through September 24 at 10 am. (Group tours are welcome, but call ahead to make arrangements.) All tours meet a docent guide by Innisfree Bookshop in Mill Falls Marketplace.

The tours are free and in the summer months are offered on Wednesdays

and Saturdays; during the quieter off-season, tours take place only on Saturdays through September 24.

Those who don’t mind being outdoors on a winter’s day can take the walk, self guided. Volunteer winter care of the sculpture areas is by the local high school “Snow Brigade.”

The sculptures stay in place for one year and each spring, there is a call to artists to submit their work for consideration for the next year’s Sculpture Walk. (Information is online at www.greatermeredith program. com.)

If you are looking for something fun and inspiring to do on any given day this fall, perhaps followed by lunch at one of Meredith’s many restaurants and some shopping, head to the town for the Sculpture Walk.

The Sculpture Walk is free and it’s all about creativity and beauty. It shows how any area can be enlivened by the addition of artwork, even in the most unexpected places.

For further information on the programs and events at the Greater Meredith Program, call 603-279-9015 or email GMP@metrocast.net.

being a very large dance. You know at GALA that everyone is going to help you along, and if a dance is too challenging for the group, the caller will swap to something easier.”

Callers are key to fun at contra and square dances. They set the tone of the dance and tempo for the band, and teach the steps and adjust calls to the dancers.

Perhaps because of the structured influence of Henry Ford, square dancing is a little more formalized than contra dancing. Square dancing is marked by the formation of “squares” of dancers: four couples facing one another as the dance begins. Couples run through a series of “Do si does,” “allemandes,” “swing your partners” “promenades,” and other moves, switching partners and moving around the square, returning home and to their original partner at the end. Sometimes dancers show off their skills with customized versions of traditional moves, and some take their moves to the next level of competition.

A traditional contra dance features two lines of dancers facing one another, performing moves, some shared with square dancing. In both dance forms, the caller walks participants through steps, the first few turns, but since the moves are repetitive, he or she can usually shrink to the background as the dance moves into its third or fourth rotation, inserting just a reminder here and there. The rhythm of the music and muscle memory takes over and suddenly, the room of dancers begins to move organically, like a well-practiced team.

Square dance couples often wear stylized western apparel. Plaids, scarves and lariats are commonly seen on men, while women wear peasant-

style blouses and full skirts with ruffled petticoats and pettipants underneath.

Cowboy boots or dance shoes complete the outfits. Rhinestones are plentiful at special dances or competition. At contra dances, there is less emphasis on a uniform look, and rhinestones are rare. Instead, dancers are urged to wear comfortable clothing and soft-soled shoes.

Contra dance series are particularly family friendly.

School’s in session!

No news there, but do you know school is in session for square dancing, too? The Winnipesaukee Squares dance club offers two evenings of square dance lessons starting on Thursday, September 22, and continuing on September 29 and October 6 at the Leavitt Park Clubhouse in Laconia.

From 7 pm to 8:30 pm, you can learn the basic steps of this quintessentially American activity.

Will the classes include a history lesson, too? Will the callers tell the story of square dancing and its older cousin, the contra dance? Will they explain that socializing has been the heart of country dancing since its British origin in Queen Elizabeth I’s reign in the 1600’s? That folk dances were a way for just regular people to stand against the oh-so-complicated court dances of the upper social classes centuries ago? That they were rural communities’ response to urban couple dances like the waltz in the 19th century? That they were a successful attempt to take the focus off licentious jazz by Henry Ford in the 20th century?

That in 1982, President Ronald Reagan signed an Act of Congress making Square Dancing the official National Folk Dance? That New Hampshire is considered the contra dancing capital of the world by some experts?

If they do talk history, I hope the lessons are short, and the chance to whirl around the floor given full sway, for surely country dancing is a fine way to while away long winter evenings.

Dancers enjoy ageless fun, get a good workout, and most important of all, build community.

Twenty-four year old Emily Marsh of Wolfeboro has been contra dancing “ever since I could be dragged through the steps by my parents.” It’s “a great way to meet people, plus get a little exercise in a fun way. There isn’t that self-conscious aspect that’s present in other dancing; all the moves are set out for you, and you can just jump in and have fun.”

Emily attends the G.A.L.A. (Global Awareness Local Action) dances, an eight-month series of dances held the last Saturday of each month from September-April in Wolfeboro’s Great Hall in the Town Office building, and will travel to others when her schedule allows. “The GALA dances are really special because they are incredibly inviting to newcomers, while also

dances. She will sometimes see “three generations of a family dancing together…When young people dance with adults, there is a sense that the dance welcomes the young people into their expanding role in the community.

That moment when it’s a small child’s turn, perhaps for the first time, to lead the whole line of people around through the next steps - you can see the joy and welcome in every face. And yes, those young people do get older, and do keep coming to the dances, and eventually they bring their own children to the dances.”

Henry Ford’s effort to bring square dancing back to American popularity received support from his friend Thomas Edison through the recording of square dance music and calls. Many adults, elementary school students in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, may remember the frustration felt in gym classes, straining to hear and follow a recorded caller’s scratchy commands. Luckily, Lakes Region country dances feature live bands, usually made up of a fiddle, percussion, keyboard, and often an accordion, flute or mandolin, or other instruments, too.

Using Cemeteries for Genealogy Norma Mooney Milne will present a program at the Wolfeboro Public Library on South Main Street in Wolfeboro on Thursday, September 29 at 6:30 pm on using cemeteries and headstones for genealogy. The program takes place in conjunction with the Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group. The program is free and open to all.

Milne, a resident of Concord, NH and summer resident of Wolfeboro, has been researching her family for over 25 years. She is a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the New Hampshire Historical Society and a lineage society, the Sons and Daughters of the First Settlers of Newbury, Massachusetts.

Of Irish and English decent, she conducts the majority of her research in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. Of particular interest to Milne is locating the cemeteries and headstones of her ancestors, especially those who are buried in New England.

With this in mind, she located several online databases that can assist anyone in locating headstones for their relatives.

For her presentation, Milne will share her knowledge of the websites Findagrave.com and Billiongraves. com, including how to register for these websites, how to navigate and search for cemeteries and headstones, as well as how to create memorials and upload digital photographs to these websites. You are encouraged to bring your laptops and smartphones and have photographs of headstones loaded on your devices.

The Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group is free and open to the public for all those with an excitement for genealogy, beginner or professional. Monthly meetings are held the last Thursday evening of the month at the library. For more information, please call Cindy Scott at the Wolfeboro Public Library at 603569-2428.
