Riding in the Clouds at The Castle Story & Photos by Barbara Neville Wilson It’s a brilliant day—yet another in the series of cobalt blue sky days we have had this fall. I put in early hours at my desk so I can get away in the afternoon.

On this day, my friend Brenda arrives and we head out, driving two-laned roads, quiet after Labor Day’s rush and the re-opening of school. Our destination? Horseback riding at Castle in the Clouds in Moultonboro.

We leave reality behind when we turn the corner from Route 109 onto Old Mountain Road. The signs below advertise Yoga on the Lawn and Horseback Riding in the Clouds.

Timetables and “must do” lists recede to the background as the car climbs the winding hill. We go the road less travelled by, turning left at the “T” in the road, away from the parking lots of guests touring the Castle in the Clouds or eating at the Carriage House.

Instead, we head to a different parking lot. As we pull in, a smiling group mills around the large open Barn, speaking another language but obviously happy with the adventure they just had. We adjust phones and clothes, leave the car and are greeted by…goats.

The goats are a running joke at the Barns this year, we learn later. Laurie, barn manager and owner of the Riding in the Clouds horses, loves goats and started with two early in the season.

It wasn’t long before her son and his

girlfriend found another on Craig’s List and dropped it into the mix, just to see what she would do. The goats are friendly and their antics provide comic relief as we wait for the other riders joining us on our scheduled ride.

I pay for our ride and learn that Andrea, at the cash register, will also be our guide. A recent graduate in psychology and criminal justice from Plymouth State University, she is enjoying perhaps her final summer leading tours. We can tell from her words that, although she is excited for her next step, Riding in the Clouds has been a special experience over her high school and college summers. And she’s not the only one. All the team members we meet are friendly and eager to share their enthusiasm for the horses and the marvelous scenery around them.

We sign the required liability forms,

choose helmets, wander the barns and play with the goats.

It’s not long before the others arrive to join our tour, and the Barn staff lead horses to the “Loading Dock.” I remember a few giggling, less-thansuccessful attempts to swing my five-foot frame over the huge frame of a mule I was to ride at the Grand Canyon, finally having to be rather unceremoniously helped; i.e., pushed from the rear, by the tour guide. None of that here! The raised platform allows us to step down onto the horse almost gracefully, but first Andrea sits on her horse, Mr. Ed, and gives us pointers and rules to ride by: Hold onto the reins, heels down, lean forward uphill, lean backward down, and stay single file.

All the horses are beautiful and wellbehaved. Brenda’s royal blue t-shirt

perfectly complements the camel color of Trigger’s palomino coat ahead of me. My affinity for redheads is satisfied by the deep russet of “Red,” while our fellow riders make quick friends with Shogun and Cooper.

We leave the barns and turn left, past pasture, up the hill and into the woods.

When Thomas Plant created his hilltop estate in the early 20th century, he cobbled together 6,300 acres from property already carved out of mountain and forest. Although there is probably a master map somewhere, it’s difficult to tell which 43 miles of hiking trails and 15 miles of bridle paths were built by his legendary workers, which were built by BF Shaw in the decades before, or which are more recent additions. But on this magnificent day, it doesn’t matter. Except for one brief moment when the engineering genius of particularly intricate stacked rock takes my attention, I only live in the now of the guided ride.

Andrea keeps a steady commentary with Brenda, who can hear her well.

Our companions behind banter about his comfort level on horses (low) and her relief to be riding again. (We knew she was a serious rider when she arrived at the barn in riding boots and with her own helmet.) I enjoy listening and watching as the landscape and early afternoon light change around us.

A Tribute to Sarah Josepha Hale at Gilmanton Historical Society A native of Newport, New Hampshire, America’s first female editor, Sarah Josepha Hale, made Godey’s Lady’s Book the most influential women’s magazine of its time. She is also known as the author of the poem “Mary’s Lamb” and for her efforts over three decades to have Thanksgiving decreed

living in Boston, including an editorial career that spanned five decades. The program is sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities.

The program, at Old Town Hall in Gilmanton Iron Works, begins at 7:30 pm. Social hour and refreshments begin at 7 pm. The Society’s museum in the basement of Old Town Hall will be open at 7 pm.

Emmy Nominated Pianist/Composer Coming to Taylor Community

• Riding Continued from page 3 of sunshine in the open, we enter a wooded trail where the green of leaves pops against the dusty brown of the trail. The horses crisscross the trail to find comfortable footing against rocks.

We dutifully lean forward as we ascend the hill, eventually crossing between stonewalls to emerge into pasture.

This is where the horses are released at night, Andrea tells us. “A room with a view,” I think as I take a picture of the broad expanse of Winnipesaukee below.

As we head downhill and toward the Barn, my heart sinks. “Is this it? Is this the whole ride? I want more,” but my fear is needless. Once at the bottom, we cross the dusty road, take a well-trod path across the green grass, then take a new path downhill, into more woods.

The big picture scenic views of the pasture are left behind as we descend paths parallel to the rushing sound

of countless waterfalls. Here I am watching for the small changes, the details of tree types, the carved steps with clues of man’s hand, and wildlife.

The horses and riders enjoy the coolness of shade for long minutes as we explore.

Eventually our horses have crossed the bridge to bring us out to the other side. I watch reluctantly, knowing when we pass the pond that we are inevitably headed back to the Barn. Hmmm… do I sense a quicker step in Red? Of course! For him, the Barn isn’t the end of a lovely respite, but the prospect of a tasty treat and rest in his stall.

My one disappointment in the afternoon’s ride? That more fall foliage was not displayed. That will change quickly as October unfolds. I may return because I’d like to ride in the clouds once again.

Riding in the Clouds is open yearround. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during peak foliage. Call 603-476-8350.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center offering a 3-part series for children To help commemorate Squam Lakes Natural Science Center’s 50th anniversary this year, Senior Naturalist Dave Erler has published a book titled 50 Nature Activities for Kids. The publication helped launch a successful summer series helping children to get outside and learn more about New Hampshire ecology during the warmer months.

As fall creeps upon us, the Science Center announces that Dave Erler will be leading another series called Investigating Autumn where his book will again serve as the basis for learning activities.

Investigating Autumn is an exciting series suited for children aged 5 and over, and has taken into consideration their busy back-to-school calendars by hosting the Investigating Autumn events on weekends. The series happens on Sunday, October, 9 and Saturday, November 5.

The jam-packed program offers fun, hands-on outdoor activities to stimulate and inspire your child. Such featured activities include Balsam Fir Blister Boats, Old Seed Sock Search,

Pinecone Peanut Butter Bird Feeder, and Checking Animal Burrows.

Take advantage of this opportunity for your child to learn and explore with a naturalist at the Science Center!

Children are to be accompanied by an adult at no extra charge. Each session is from 10 to 11:30 am; please be prepared for discoveries both inside and outside.

The Investigating Autumn Series schedule with featured activities include: Investigating Autumn II (October 9) - How Tall is that Tree?, Pinecone Peanut Butter Bird Feeder, and Preserving Fall Foliage and Investigating Autumn III (November 5) - Milk Jug Bird Feeder, Checking Animal Burrows, and Temperature Mapping.

The cost per session is $7/member child and $9/non-member child. If you are interested in reserving a spot for your child, please make reservations by calling 603-968-7194 x7. Dave Erler’s book, 50 Nature Activities for Kids is available for purchase in the Howling Coyote Gift Shop and online.

Get Ready for the New Hampshire Marathon around Newfound Lake!

By Sarah Wright Photos courtesy Tapply-Thompson Community Center It’s time once again for the popular New Hampshire Marathon. Although it has a reputation for being a challenging race, it’s also known as a beautiful one. In fact, Runner’s World magazine named it the Best Small Town Race in 2013, and RunnersGoal.com just recognized the race with its Runner’s Choice Award.

The race spans a hilly 26.2 miles around scenic Newfound Lake, but if you’re not up for the full course, you can also participate in the half marathon (13.1 miles) or the 10K race (6.2 miles).

There’s even a mile-long race for kids.

The event attracts between 600 and 800 runners each year, with participants from 45 different states, as well as 10 countries. It’s also popular with spectators, who come out in droves to support this small-town event.

All of the races start at 9 am on October 1. Marathon and 10K racers will start on Lake Street in Bristol in front of the Newfound Memorial Middle School. From there, the course

runs north on Route 3A, with the 10K racers turning where marked and returning to the finish at Kelley Park.

The marathon runners continue on 3A to North Shore Road, turning left to run through the village of Hebron, then continuing straight to the turnaround.

After retracing the route back to Hebron, the course turns south along the west shore of Newfound Lake, rejoining Route 3A and retracing the route back to the finish line, turning left on Union Street and right on North Main to Kelley Park. This is different from the route that half marathoners take, which starts beyond the Sculptured Rocks after a brief bus ride. (Water stations and bathrooms are also provided on the race route.)

If you need something to focus on while you’re running the race, there’s a special pizza treat for the runners after they pass the finish line. Bristol House of Pizza and Village Pizza both donate about 20 to 25 pizza pies for hungry runners. Prize money is also awarded to first-, second-, and thirdplace finishers, as well as medals for all runners who complete the marathon and half marathon. There are also age group awards for each race.

Planning for the marathon is a yearround task, with Race Director Dan MacLean at the helm. This is his fifth year directing the race, which his father directed for a few years when it first started 24 years ago. Dan also enjoys running, and has participated in 5K and 10K races, but prefers planning marathons to running them. He’s also interested in what motivates people to run, and says that there are unique stories ever year.

“There’s an 80-year-old man who has participated for multiple years, and also a barefoot runner who comes every year,” says Dan. “Last year, a man ran in his military uniform and boots to raise money for Wounded Warriors, and we’ve also had wheelchair entries in past years.”

Two of the largest running groups in the country are the Marathon Maniacs and the 50 States Marathon Club, and they have participants in the race every year. Sometimes there are runners who finish their 50th state run with this New Hampshire race. There have also been celebrity participants like weatherman Kevin Skarupa from Channel 9 News, and Biggest Loser contestant Rebecca Meyer who set out to run a 10K in all 50 states.

Spectators also enjoy cheering on the runners in the kids’ race, which is open to all children in grades kindergarten through eighth grade. Sponsored by Mid-State Health Center, kids are encouraged to fill up a race log with 25.2 miles prior to race day, when they will complete the final mile. Kids can include the miles they’ve walked, hiked, or even biked throughout the summer to reach their goal. The purpose of the program is to promote physical fitness, nutritious eating, and a healthy lifestyle among kids, and • Marathon Continued on page 19

Attack on Pearl Harbor Program at Wright Museum The Wright Museum in Wolfeboro will host the 18th session of the “Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney 2016 Educational Programming” on Tuesday, September 27, beginning at 7 pm. Doors open at 5 pm.

The program of the evening is titled An Examination of the Attack on Pearl Harbor and is a lecture by Dr. Douglas Wheeler.

Douglas Wheeler opens his talk 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 December 7, 1941?”

During the course of the program,

Wheeler discusses the historic context of the attack, which propelled the U.S. into a Pacific and an Atlantic war. He also talks about how the U. S. intelligence system functioned at the time of the attack, presents theories on this still hotly debated topic and examines the events of December 7, 1941 and their consequences in World War II and global history.

Admission is $8.00 per person and free for Wright Museum members.

Space is limited; RSVPs are strongly recommended to ensure sufficient seating for all lecture attendees. Call 603-569-1212 to reserve your seat today. The Wright Museum is located on Center Street in Wolfeboro.

• Marathon Continued from page 18 parents are welcome to join the race with their children. Check-in for the kids’ race will begin at 8:00 a.m. at Kelley Park in Bristol with the race beginning just after 9 am. After the race, kids can join the celebration at the park to recognize their incredible achievement. Mid-State Health Center will provide medals and t-shirts for the participants.

To fuel runners up the night before the race, the local Masons serve up an awesome spaghetti dinner at the Union Lodge at 61 Pleasant Street in Bristol from 5 to 7 pm. Volunteers go all out, even making homemade sauces, for what many visiting runners call, “the best dinner in the country.” There are also lots of desserts to help you fill up on carbs before the big race. The cost of the meal is $8.00 for runners and $10.00 for the public.

If you’re one of the many locals or visitors who support the marathon, there’s also a wonderful arts and crafts show at the Newfound Memorial Middle School (155 North Main) from 9 am to 3 pm on marathon day. With

over 30 local crafters and artisans, you’ll find everything from jewelry to wood products. It’s a great opportunity to start your Christmas shopping.

Dan credits all of the local sponsors and volunteers for making the marathon a successful event. “This race would not be possible without their help,” says Dan. The money raised from marathon registrations is given to local charities, which recently included the Mayhew Program for At-Risk Boys, the Circle Program for At-Risk Girls, and the Tapply-Thompson Community Center. Over the last 20 years, the New Hampshire Marathon has raised more than $200,000 for charity.

For more information about the marathon or to register online for the race, visit www.nhmarathon.com.

Registering the day of the race will cost $10 more. (The kids’ race is free.)

Check-in goes from 7 to 8:30 am, the morning of October 1, except for those running the half marathon who must register by 8 am to catch a bus to the starting line. If you would like to volunteer to help out for this year’s race, or even next year’s race, email Dan at race@nhmarathon.com.

See you at the starting line!

immune system and fights illness with its anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-parasitical properties. It is a wonderful circulatory mover, an antiinflammatory, and stimulating to the digestive tract and respiratory system.

The wonderful thing about fire cider is that it can be easily altered according to the changing seasons and to an individual’s own energy, constitution and ailment. For example, if you were struggling with physical pain and inflammation, fresh turmeric root would be a great additive to this concoction. For those who want to detox the liver, skin, blood and digestive tract with bitters, an addition of fresh burdock root, dandelion and yellow dock is recommended. And for

extra immune building properties in the winter elderberries and Echinacea would be a great choice. For allergy season; nettle, goldenrod, rishi and Oregon grape root work wonders.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn to craft their own fire cider, leave with an understanding of the ingredients used, and take home their own batch and recipe. Optional homework for this class would be to harvest or purchase custom-added herbs according to your constitution or present illness, or gear it towards the upcoming winter season. Some recommendations to harvest this fall for the class would be yellow dock, • Gala Continued on page 21

Give the Gift of Life, Blood Donors Needed The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood and platelets this fall to help restock the shelves following a significant summer shortage to ensure an adequate blood supply for patients in need.

“September is National Preparedness Month and we urge eligible donors to make an appointment now to give blood or platelets,” said Mary Brant, external communications manager of the Northern New England Blood Services Region. “Whether blood is needed for

a chronic condition like sickle cell disease, a routine surgery, a traumatic accident or a large-scale disaster, it’s the blood already on the shelves that helps save lives. Red Cross blood and platelet donors play an important role in helping communities be prepared for all kinds of emergencies.”

To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit www.redcrossblood. org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). Donors are encouraged

to make appointments and complete the RapidPass online health history questionnaire at redcrossblood.org/ rapidpass to help reduce wait times.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities will take place on October 6, Sacred Heart Hall-Laconia, 31 Gilford Avenue, Laconia, noon to 5 pm; October 8, Tanger Outlet Center, 120 Laconia Road, Tilton, 10 am to 3 pm; on October 7 in Freedom at Danforth Bay Resort, 196 Shawtown Rd. from 11 am to 4 pm; on October 14 at Madison

Elementary School, 2069 Village Rd./ Rt. 113, Madison from 1:30 to 6:30 pm; on Sept. 30 at the Moultonborough Lion’s Club, 139 Old Rt. 109A, Moultonborough from 1 to 6 pm; on October 5 at Brewster Academy, 80 Academy Rd., Wolfeboro from noon to 5 pm; on Sept. 27 at the Masonic Lodge, Rts. 3 and 25B, Holderness from 2 to 7 pm; on October 11 and 12 at Plymouth State University, 17 High St., Plymouth from 2 to 7 pm.

NH to celebrate historic preservation October 28 The N.H. Division of Historical Resource (NHDHR) will host “We’re Golden: Celebrating 50 Years of the National Historic Preservation Act,” a daylong symposium focusing on historic preservation in the Granite State, in Concord on October 28.

Signed by President Lyndon Baines Johnson on October 15, 1966, the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) declared that “the historical and cultural foundations of the Nation should be preserved as a living part of our community life and development in order to give a sense of orientation to the American people.”

“We’re Golden” will include presentations describing a wide range of New Hampshire preservation success stories, a panel discussion about the history of preservation in the state and a keynote address by Charlene Dwin Vaughn, assistant director at

the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

“New Hampshire is well-known for our historic buildings, bridges, landscapes, cemeteries and archaeological sites – they are part of who we are,” said Elizabeth Muzzey, director of the NHDHR and state historic preservation officer. “We’re looking forward to sharing inspiring stories about the great work that can be accomplished when people come together to preserve elements of our past that are still very much part of both our present and our future.”

People interested in learning more about historic preservation success stories in New Hampshire, including members of historic commissions, environmental and engineering firms, federal and state agencies, and cultural resource consultants are invited to attend.
