Hiking Castle in the Clouds - Fun for all ages and abilities Story and Photo

by Barbara Neville Wilson In 1914 America’s leading shoe manufacturer and multi-millionaire Thomas Plant surprised the world by retiring to a quiet life in Moultonborough, NH. He told Country Life magazine he sought to create a home for “a man who wants to make it possible for his family to spend long, happy summers and autumns in the open, close to nature.” With the muscle and talent of 1,000 men, he built a 16-room mansion and sculpted the contours of his 6,300acre mountainous estate. For 101 years, individuals and families have enjoyed the results at what is now called Castle in the Clouds.

Today the Lakes Region Conservation Trust maintains nearly 30 miles of trails at Castle in the Clouds. The trails are accessible year round and have degrees of difficulty to suit every ability. During a recent late summer week of hikes, I met young children, teens, 20-somethings, a certified sports trainer, working folk on their lunch hour, and senior citizens returning to the Castle after an absence of nearly 60 years.

Hike 1: Shannon Brook Trail from Route 171 Lower Trailhead Kiosk, 1.4 miles.

Early in the afternoon I set off from the Route 171 Trailhead, up the Shannon Brook Trail. Bright sunshine dapples the wide and often steep trail. It is rated “Moderate” for difficulty on the official Lakes Region Conservation Trust map. A number of other trails

Overlooking the Castle cross the Shannon Brook Trail, and I take a few moments to look down the ravine carved by Shannon Brook.

Wildflowers dot the wayside, birds sing and I meet no one until I’ve crossed two wooden bridges and approach Shannon Pond Kiosk near the fish-feeding pond.

Since I’m alone and the day is still long, I decide to visit the Castle. I stop by the Gift Shop for my ticket and to ogle the souvenirs and my obsession: books. Three take my eye: • Bryant Tolles’ Summer Cottages in the White Mountains: The Architecture of Leisure and Recreation, 1870 to 1930.

We Have a Great Selection of dininG SetS to cHooSe from!

Tim e To Get You r Dini ng Roo m In Sha pe For The Holi day s!

• Lucknow, a reproduction real estate brochure written by Thomas Plant after he lost his millions and was desperate to sell his beloved estate.

• A Castle in the Clouds: Tom Plant and the American Dream, a carefully researched biography by Barry H. Rodrigue, Maine historian and descendant of the millionaire himself.

For each of the next three hikes, Rodrigue’s tome becomes the source of facts I reel off to hiking companions.

Hike 2: Brook Walk from Upper Trailhead Kiosk just off Ossipee Park Road (across from the Crystal Geyser Bottling Plant), .5 miles.

About 10 am, I meet my niece and

her five children, ages 3, 5, 7, 8, and 16. When I first contacted Melissa about hiking, she wondered if they were up to it. They’d “never hiked.

Just gone walking on trails.” I assured her we wouldn’t do anything beyond the kids’ comfort level. Since they are pretty rough and tumble and surefooted, we choose the relatively short “Moderate”-rated Shannon Pond Trail.

We cross the parking lot and the four younger children spy the fish in Shannon Pond. They clamor to stay by the water. We placate them by promising we’ll feed the fish after the hike.

Soon their minds are pre-occupied by the sight of hoof prints. For a short distance, Shannon Pond shares space with the Lower Bridle Path, traveled by horses from the Castle’s stables.

We cross the brook on a wide wooden bridge and enter the forested trail.

Sixteen-year-old Em skirts ahead of her siblings, texting photos to friends.

Her brothers and sister search for darting fish in the stream and walking sticks just “like Grammy’s.” Along the path are markers showing photos from the turn of the 20th century when the Ossipee Park Resort was referred to as one of the “Seven Wonders of New Hampshire” and “The Little Yosemite of New England.”

Mel and I marvel at the steps carved into the hillside, hardly noticeable as manmade after 100 years of hikers’ use.

Lakes Region Singers Start Fall Rehearsals – New Members Welcome Lakes Region Singers, the community choral group that performs at First United Methodist Church in Gilford, launched their fall concert season with a meeting of their advisory board on Monday, September 14. This planning group consists of LRS director Karen

Jordan and LRS members Mary Albert, Kelly Cleveland, Charlotte Cox, Lorraine Gebhardt, Paul Stickney, Betty Welch, and Rachel Young.

Rehearsals for the fall concert season will begin on Tuesday, Sept.

29. The Youth Chorus (for singers

in grades 2-10) will meet at 6:30 pm in the church, and the Adult Chorus (for singers in grades 11-12 and all adults) will meet there at 7:30 pm.

“We welcome everyone interested in performing good music, and we don’t require auditions,” said Jordan. “If you know of anyone who might like to join our groups, encourage them to come, or bring them along with you!”

There will again be two performances of the Christmas Concert, one on Friday, Dec. 18, and another on Sunday, Dec. 20. This year’s program will include upbeat favorites like a medley of carols in Sing Joy, and a jazz version of Jingle Bells called Dashing Through the Snow. There will also be challenging arrangements of the beloved O Come Little Children and Lo How a Rose Ere Blooming, which will be performed by

the youth and adult choruses together.

Other pieces will feature vocal soloists, some with violin, cello, flute, organ, brass, percussion, hand bells, or fourhand piano accompaniments. This season will introduce a second piano accompanist, Phil Breton, who will focus on the adult performance, while Kelly Cleveland will continue to accompany the youth chorus but also sing with the adult chorus.

According to Jordan, “We are very happy to be singing again. If you plan to join us but can’t make the first rehearsal, just let us know and we’ll save a folder for you. Even if you start late, you can still enjoy great singing all season long!”

For more information, call the director at 524-0835 or 998-8545, or email kpj@jordanassociatesinc.com.

• Hiking Continued from page 3 We pass frothy ponds and gurgling cascades of water, but it’s not until we hit a descent of switchbacks that we catch our breath and exclaim “wow.”

About 700 feet lower than where we started, a magnificent waterfall plunges down a cliff, and it is only here we meet other hikers. They come up the mountain from a nearby parking lot.

Two couples are visiting from Rhode Island. One woman travels smoothly and pushes a walker across the level boardwalk.

I chat with a pair of 80+ year-old friends from Ashland, NH. They are on a daylong “toot,” one says, and will eat lunch at the Carriage House Cafe and tour the Castle for the first time in 58 years. I take their picture. The trail is laid out perfectly so the falls are framed pleasingly over their shoulders.

We walk back to the fishpond just as happily as we had walked to the Falls.

Mel points out, “There’s so much for the kids to see along the way. They don’t get bored here.”

Hike 3: Mt. Roberts Trail from beside the riding stable, 2.5 miles.

I meet my 20-something year old friend Abbie at 5 pm, just after she gets off work. Because the grounds close at 6 pm, we park just outside the gate and start our ascent up the “Strenuous”-rated Mt. Roberts.

The trail starts off gently on an old carriage trail and winds its way up behind the stables where we stop and chat with Jerry, a beautiful black Percheron.

We begin ascending the narrowing path in earnest. We both admit we’re not in top-notch shape, but we don’t puff too hard as we catch up on friendsin-common and life events as we climb.

In about 20 minutes, we stop at Viewpoint 1. We gaze on the southern stretches of Lake Winnipesaukee. I point out the greens of the Bald Peak golf course, once part of Thomas Plant’s kingdom. Then we stand and watch raptly as four hawks roll and glide on air currents in front of us.

Although the Mt. Roberts Trail boasts three more viewpoints, we decide we’ll visit them another day. The sun is starting to set and the shadows lengthen. In the name of safety, we head down the mountain.

Hike 4: Oak Ridge Trail from the Shannon Pond Kiosk, 1.8 miles.

At about 10:30 in the morning, I meet Stacey and Carla and five children, ages six months to four years. Today’s walk will be leisurely, with time for a picnic lunch at the trail’s viewpoint; the children excitedly trace our route on the map before leaving the Shannon Pond Kiosk. The moms enjoy a good laugh when they read the flyer apologizing for chew marks on the wooden structure. “The porcupines are winning,” it says.

Gamely carrying baby Azariah on her back, Stacey says she loves this path because it’s not too steep and has enough variety to keep the children interested.

Four year-old Jonathan is the leader, clearing the path of fallen branches and veering off the path to explore. “This is the biggest rock ever!” he exclaims.

“Let’s try it.” He and his compatriots clamber straight up a stretch of ledge with the help of mom Carla, and look down at Stacey, baby Azariah and me.

“Look! We’re way up high!”

The two-year-olds feel as rich a sense of accomplishment as the fours.

The moms and I don’t worry. We can see plenty of safe space between the children and danger.

When we reach the summit, the fours imagine princesses in the Castle they see in the distance, and the twos play horsey on a smooth-faced log placed as a viewing bench.

We make the full loop to head back to our cars, passing the cellar holes of a post-Revolutionary settlement and markers for oak trees. We stop to look inside rotted logs and trace the path of water through culverts.

We pass no other hikers until we reach the edge of Shannon Pond where some people walk with their dogs.

I’ve only begun to explore the marvelous trails of Castle in the Clouds.

Still to be explored are High Ridge

Trail, Faraway Mountain, Bald Knob and Turtleback Mountain. And then there’s the call of history in Settlement Trail and Cold Spring Road. I’ve made a date to complete Mt. Roberts on Wednesday and even when snow falls, my professional trainer acquaintance tells me the snowshoeing is magnificent.

I may not be a descendant, but I certainly have inherited riches. Thank you, Thomas Plant and the Lake Region Conservation Trust. You’ve made it possible for all of us to “spend long, happy summers and autumns [and winters and springs] in the open, close to nature.“

Annual Harvest Supper Features Bean Hole Beans and Corned Beef A local tradition returns to Gilford on Saturday, Oct. 3 when the annual Harvest Supper (presented by the First United Methodist Church at 18 Wesley Way off Rt. 11A) returns to Gilford.

Whether you love a good oldfashioned boiled dinner of corned beef and cabbage, are particularly fond of

homemade apple and pumpkin pie, or just have to have the finest in baked beans, this dinner offers something for everyone.

For over 40 years, members of the congregation have been putting this dinner on in the early fall. They work hard to make the fellowship hall come

Turf Talk Prepare Your Grass For Winter A heavy application of our pure potassium (potash): Improves winter hardiness • Increases disease resistance • Enhances drought tolerance

alive with autumn colors and the smell of slow-cooked corn beef that fills the air.

Over 100 pounds of potatoes and carrots are peeled and chopped and 60 pounds of dry beans are sorted, washed, soaked, and cooked overnight in the bean pits behind the church.

This meal has become a favorite of the church supper crowd in the Lakes Region. It takes about 50 hardworking people to put on the meal; members of the church do everything from baking pies to tending the fires that will cook the beans in large cast-iron kettles. It is a three-day undertaking and the meal is well worth the effort.

If you are interested in knowing more about how they make the bean hole beans, you are welcome to come and watch as the beans are put in kettles and lowered into the ground on Friday night before the dinner. Beans go into the holes promptly at 4:30 pm so don’t be late! Be sure to bring your camera to get pictures of this age-old New England tradition!

Tickets are available by calling the church office at 524-3289. The cost is $12 for adults and $5 for children (under 10). They sell out quickly so call early. There are two servings: 5 pm and 6:30 pm.

MMRG sets annual Fall Foliage Hike On Saturday, Oct. 3, Art Slocum will lead Moose Mountain Greenway’s (MMG) annual Hike with Art to enjoy the fall foliage on a local conservation property. The hike chosen for this year is Whiteface Mountain in north Wolfeboro. It’s a beloved climb, well known to local hikers for many years, on a property that has recently been protected from development. Slocum is an experienced outing leader and always shares a wealth of knowledge about the region.

The trail includes one steep section in a moderate 500 ft. ascent through woods and along stonewalls to the sheer granite cliff face that gives the mountain its name. At the summit, hikers can stand atop the cliff and enjoy the rewarding 180-degree view of the spectacular Lakes Region, Lake Ossipee and the Moose Mountains, Green Mountain, Mt. Chocorua, and beyond to Mount Washington and the Presidential Range.

Local landowners have long

informally allowed public access so people could get to the top of the mountain. However, the soon-tobe-completed Whiteface Mountain conservation project will guarantee access via a second, shorter route that is publicly owned. Eighty acres of the mountain, including the famous lookout

Got Golf?

point, will be permanently conserved by an easement prohibiting development and guaranteeing public access.

With some early staff assistance from MMRG, and with additional funds from the Town of Wolfeboro Conservation Commission, the Wolfeboro-Tuftonboro Land Bank stepped in to purchase the

Oak Hill Golf Course

property when it went on the market.

The land will be transferred to the Town after the conservation easement, prepared and held by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust, has been completed.

The outing will take place from 10 am to 1 pm. It is free and open to the public but pre-registration is required. For more information, directions and to preregister, call Kari Lygren at 978-7125 or email info@mmrg.info. MMRG is grateful to Parsons Furniture Company for sponsoring this event.

(MMRG, a non-profit land trust, works to conserve and connect important water resources, farm and forest lands, wildlife habitats, and recreational land in Brookfield, Farmington, Middleton, Milton, New Durham, Wakefield, and Wolfeboro. Throughout the year, MMRG offers many educational opportunities to inform all ages about the benefits of the region’s natural resources. For more information, visit www.mmrg.info.)

The Adventure Is Open Daily • Both Locations The Original adventure golf

If you suffer bouts of acid reflux, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas or IBS; beware of digestion remedies like Prilosec®, Prevacid® and Nexium®... They Can Cripple You!

By Damian Wexler, Freelance Health Reporter ecently, medical professionals and alternative medicine experts have taken to the airways to reveal a simple secret that amazed millions who suffer with digestion nightmares.

And people haven’t stopped talking about it since.

Route 3 • Winnisquam 528-6434

“I’d give anything to make it stop!”

FDA Warns About Popular Antacids A recent FDA warning explained that excessive use of antacids could lead to an increased risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures.

Especially in people over the age of 50.

So when AloeCure® was presented on National TV, you can imagine how thrilled people were to find out they could finally get relief without having to rely on pharmaceutical proton pump inhibitors.

But now, your stomach problems could be over by simply drinking a small amount of a tasty Aloe Vera extract everyday. It’s as simple as that!

Drug Companies Threatened by Natural Digestion Miracle Nationwide Relief...

Over 4-million bottles sold!

Seattle, WA: All across the country, those suffering with digestion issues are thrilled with the relief they get from a new, natural remedy called AloeCure®.

“More than ever, digestion sufferers are flocking to our remarkable product; especially since the FDA has come down so hard on popular antacids like Nexium®, Prilosec®, Prevacid® and other proton pump inhibitors.

Unlike drug company remedies, AloeCure® isn’t a drug. It’s something completely different. AloeCure® not only squelches your digestion problems… It helps improve your digestion for long-lasting relief.

You really have to try for yourself.

That’s why I’ve given the readers of this newspaper an opportunity to try AloeCure® absolutely risk-free. (See bottom of article) -Doug Jewett, CEO American Global Health Group

Finally There’s Hope...

At first, the thought of drinking aloe vera might make some people back away. But in fact, this delicious “digestion cocktail” is doing amazing things for people who suffer with digestive problems --- even if they’ve had them for years. Here’s how it works…

Stop Stomach Indigestion Your stomach naturally produces acid so strong, it can dissolve an aluminum spoon in just 30 minutes! And when excess acid escapes into your esophagus, throat and stomach lining, it unleashes the discomfort of Acid-Reflux, heartburn, ulcers and more misery. Add the problems of stress, and “all heck breaks loose.”

That’s what most people will tell you when asked about their digestive problems. “It’s just horrible says Ralph Burns, a former digestion victim. I was tortured for years by my AcidReflux. My wife suffers with digestion problems too. If she eats one wrong thing, she spends hours stuck in the bathroom dealing with severe bouts of constipation or diarrhea.”

1 OFF 10am $ 00

Doctor recommended AloeCure® may be the most important application ever discovered for digestive health!

Dr. Liza Leal, a well known expert on chronic pain management explains... “The AloeCure® can work genuine miracles. It buffers high acid levels with amazing speed. So your stomach feels completely at ease just moments after drinking it.” In fact, it could wipe out stomach discomfort and frantic runs to the bathroom.

Until Now, Little Could Be Done...

But “AloeCure® can help virtually anyone.

Even people with chronic stomach indigestion can start to feel better right away,” says Dr. Leal.

And what’s really exciting is AloeCure® aids in keeping your digestive tract healthy, so with regular use intestinal distress stops coming back.

As Ralph Burns goes on to say, “I know AloeCure® never claimed to be a substitute for drug store products and is only meant to be a helpful supplement. Now though, AloeCure® is the only product I need for all my digestion issues”

Digestion Defender #1: Balances Stomach Acid Your first line of defense is calcium malate.

This natural acid buffer instantly sends stomach acid levels plunging. And holds acid levels down so they are not likely to return!

Digestion Defender #2: Instant, Soothing Relief AloeCure® is brimming with polysaccharides, a “wonder” compound that gently coats the throat, esophagus and stomach, carrying instant relief to cells scorched by excess acid.

Here’s What Doctors Are Saying!

AloeCure® is backed by important scientific studies that confirm... aloe calms stomach acid and allows your body to heal itself.

Dr. Liza Leal, M.D & Chief Medical Officer at Meridian Medical. says, “That’s why I recommend it to patients who suffer from bouts of heartburn, Acid-Reflux, ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome...”

Dr. Santiago Rodriguez agrees. “Just two ounces of AloeCure® reduces the acids in your stomach by ten times.”

Francisco DeWeever, a Certified Nutritional Microscopist, “My patients report their IBS, Crohn’s, Colitis, Constipation, Acid-Reflux and a host of other digestive problems have all but disappeared.”

After conducting an unpaid investigation about AloeCure® claims and success stories, pure Aloe Vera extract like AloeCure® may be the most important application ever discovered for digestive health.

Safe And Easy To Use With no sugar, no stimulants, and zero calories, AloeCure® is safe, all-natural and has absolutely no side effects. It’s tasty, drug-free, and simple to use. Just drink two ounces, once in the morning, and once at night, and start enjoying immediate life- changing relief!

The makers of AloeCure® have agreed to send you up to 6 FREE bottles PLUS 2 free bonus gifts with your order— they’re yours to keep no matter what. That’s enough AloeCure® for 30 days of powerful digestive relief, absolutely free!

The Sport of Curling Comes to the Lakes Region

By Sarah Wright The Lakes Region Curling Association (LRCA) is bringing the sport to the Pop Whalen Arena in Wolfeboro this fall. An informational session was held at the Wolfeboro Public Library in July, which garnered a lot of interest in the new league.

The fall 2015 league will play a 10game schedule, beginning on Sunday, October 18, with most games being played on Sunday evenings from 5 to 7 pm. A learn-to-curl lesson will be held prior on October 16.

I’ve always been a bit confused about curling when I see it on television, so I decided to poke around a bit online to find out some of its history. Although it’s mostly a Canadian sport, Scottish emigrants originally brought curling to Canada. Curling goes way back to Medieval Scotland, in fact, and it’s depicted in paintings from the 1500s.

When an old pond was drained in Dunblane, Scotland, a curling stone with the date 1511 was uncovered. In those early days, flat-bottomed river stones were used, and unlike today, the thrower had little control over the path or “curl” that the rock would take. It was more luck than skill.

The first curling club in the United States was formed in 1830, and since then, its popularity has been slowly gaining. Curling became an official Olympic sport in 1998, when men’s and women’s tournaments were featured in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Although Canada dominates the sport, Team USA is improving and this past August won the silver medal in a mixed doubles match at the New Zealand Winter Games. It’s a tough playing field, worldwide, with stiff competition from Sweden and Great Britain as well.

The basic equipment includes the curling broom and stone, which is made from granite. Seems appropriate that

LRCA Curling party.

The Granite State should be involved in this sport. (We have so much of the stuff that we might as well be hitting it around, right?) Special curling shoes aren’t necessary, but are available to gain an edge on the competition. It’s also advisable to wear warm gloves to improve your grip on the broom.

Although the game has similarities to shuffleboard, it is more involved than that. A team scores points by getting stones closer to the center of the “house” than the other team. Each team alternates taking shots until eight stones from each team have been “delivered.”

The designated thrower pulls the stone back and then lunges forward, pushing the stone ahead. After this point, two sweepers who take instructions from the “skip” influence its trajectory.

Sweeping is done for several reasons, including smoothing the ice under the stone, decreasing the amount of curl, and cleaning debris from the stone’s path. The stones curl more as they slow down, so sweeping early on tends to increase distance as well as straighten the path. When sweeping, pressure and speed of the brush head are key in slightly increasing the layer of moisture that builds up under the stone.

Last-stone advantage at the end is called “the hammer.” Before the game, teams can use various methods to determine which team gets the hammer.

In all subsequent ends, the hammer belongs to the team that did not score in the preceding end. Naturally, it’s easier to score points with the hammer than without; scoring without the hammer is commonly referred to as a “steal,” and is much more difficult.

The winner is the team having the highest number of accumulated points at the completion of ten ends. However, a losing team can terminate the match before all ends are completed if they

believe they no longer have a chance of winning. Competitive games actually end once the losing team has “run out of rocks”—that is, they have fewer stones in play than the number of points needed to tie the game.

Teams consist of four to six members, and LRCA organizers will help in creating the teams, if needed. All equipment is provided, but participants should wear clean-soled sneakers. For tutorials on the sport or information about association events, visit www. lakescurlingnh.org.

(Editor’s note: For those wishing to try out the sport, Plymouth State University (PSU) has a number of scheduled drop-in curling dates and times. Anyone wanting to get a feel for curling can just drop in at a scheduled time and, for a $5 fee, get exposure to curling rules and game play. Dates are scheduled in September and October; visit the PSU Arena site for information on the drop-in schedule. For both the PSU drop-in curling and the planned fall league in Wolfeboro, the only equipment that participants need is a pair of clean-soled sneakers. All other equipment is provided. All participants of the league must be LRCA members.

Yesteryear D&M Baseball Factory Hits a Home Run

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photo courtesy Plymouth Historical Society At one time Plymouth, New Hampshire residents thought about baseball year round. For many locals, baseball was their livelihood and they made thousands of baseballs at the D & M Baseball Factory.

In the late 1800s to the early part of the 1900s, Plymouth was synonymous with baseball glove manufacturing.

Over the years, the high quality gloves manufactured by the D & M gained such popularity that baseball giant Babe Ruth traveled to Plymouth and posed for publicity photos stitching a baseball glove and hobnobbing with local officials.

According to information at www. nhhistory.org, Jason F. Draper and John Maynard began business together in Ashland, NH in 1881 by producing buckskin gloves.

It seemed a natural progression from gloves to baseball gloves. The businessmen had a suggestion from a baseball player that they should design a padded glove specifically for baseball. Soon the factory was off and running; some information says the D & M was the first-ever company to produce baseball

gloves. They were very popular and in its heyday, the D & M produced a huge quantity of baseball gloves.

A move to Ashland provided the company with a new and bigger factory, and by the late 1800s the D & M employed over 200 workers. Surely local residents appreciated the business because it brought much-needed employment to the area.

The new factory was started in a

lot on Plymouth’s North Main Street.

Soon a three-story, 100-foot building rose above the downtown Plymouth area. This new space allowed Draper and Maynard to expand their sporting goods line even further, and by 1905 the company was considered a leading manufacturer in northern New England, with an annual income of about $275,000. For a small town such as Plymouth, this prosperity meant jobs and a boost to the local economy.

At that time, the sport of baseball was gaining in popularity, but the game was played a bit differently then: catchers didn’t have the padded luxury of today’s baseball gloves. Instead the

players used thin leather gloves, which must have proven painful in catching a fastball.

The idea for the baseball glove revolutionized the sport, and spilled over into other sports as well, when the D & M began making padded boxing gloves and other padded leather sporting goods. Another trademark was adopted as well, according to www.nhhistory.org, depicting Maynard’s bird dog, Nick (the “Lucky Dog”).

Although a fire completely destroyed the factory in 1910, D & M workers continued to produce baseball gloves and other products in makeshift headquarters until a new, even larger factory was completed on the same lot.

A cottage industry grew out of the baseball factory and women sewed baseballs for D & M from their homes.

This increased production met the demand from the national baseball leagues that needed hundreds of baseballs each year. During the 1920s better than 90 percent of all major league players used D & M gloves and mitts, as well as the company’s balls and bats.

Also produced were footballs and basketballs, popular items as the sports grew and many schools and colleges offered football and basketball.

Not long after, Plymouth became famous when Red Sox players visited the factory and picked out their own

Libby Museum Looking for Butterfly Specimens for Collection and Display It may be nearing the official end of the 2015 summer season, but the Libby Museum in Wolfeboro is already thinking ahead to next year. One of the highlights of the museum’s 2016 programs and events will be the Karner Butterfly, an endangered species since 1992. The male and female of this small butterfly is only about one inch. They hatch two times each year and only live for about two weeks and are best known for feeding from the leaves of the wild lupine plant. Karner Butterflies can be found in Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and New Hampshire. Some have been located in a pine barren in Concord, NH. Next season visitors can come to the museum for a special “Karner Blue Day,” much like the Libby’s Moose Day this year, where there will be much fun and learning about this amazing small butterfly!

Because butterfly numbers are so low, collection is illegal without a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Services; collection of these butterflies is definitely not the museum’s goal.

Instead, the Libby Museum seeks to educate the public about the Karner Butterflies.

To prepare for next season’s presentations, the Libby would like to develop a general collection of other butterflies to display in the museum. In keeping with the mission of founder, Dr. Libby, who also did a study of butterflies, the goal is to inspire curiosity and learning by adding to his small display that is currently at the museum. Should there be people in the community with butterflies or complete butterfly collections, the Libby Museum is hoping for butterfly donations or loans.

If you would like to make contributions or have information to help in the new butterfly display, please call 569-5709.

The Libby is open Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm and Sundays from noon to 4 pm through Columbus Day. Make a last visit before the summer ends!

director and helped the company with expansion of distribution branches in New York City and San Francisco, as well as launching a second factory in Canada.

A few months after Maynard’s death P. Goldsmith Sons, a Cincinnati, Ohio competitor purchased the rights to produce sporting goods bearing the Draper-Maynard name and Lucky Dog trademark. Goldsmith stopped manufacturing Draper-Maynard products in 1962 when the company merged with MacGregor Sporting Goods.

However, baseball players throughout the country remembered the highquality D & M equipment that helped them achieve fame and lifted the sport of baseball to new highs.

NH author Aimee Gagnon Fogg will present the program, Genealogy and World War II. She began a search for her uncle, who was killed during WWII in Germany. The search took her to the Henri-Chapelle American military cemetery in Belgium.

Aimee Gagnon Fogg holds a B.A. in Psychology and History. She is the

2013 recipient of the New Hampshire Chapter of the DAR Women in American History award for her work concerning Henri-Chapelle.
